The Elephant Men program is the creation of Reginald Caster and Robert Harris, two friends who grew up together in a poor neighborhood in Memphis, Tennessee. They grew up, moved away, and became successful. They remained friends and shared an aim. The aim was to help boys aged 9 to 13 in their old neighborhood. They wanted to act as role models for young boys and to stop them from getting into trouble as they got older.

They called their program The Elephant Men after reading how elephant families in Africa surround and protect their young when they are in danger. Reginald and Robert’s program supports the young men in inner cities who are at risk of losing their lives to drugs. Their idea is “protecting our youth with the power and belief of the elephant”.

They look for different ways for young men to build respect for themselves and others. One way is to use sports, especially basketball, to bring them together. Another successful program is a four-week summer work program that includes more than 100 young boys. The boys pick up rubbish across the city in exchange for a $200 gift card with which they can buy school clothes. To be part of the program, the boys have to get a reference (介绍信) from an adult at their school who is willing to write something good about them. This gives the boys a reason to do well in school.

“We know our program works,” says Reginald. “We have some kids in college now and the best day of the year for us is the weekend before school starts, when we see our boys in the stores buying their clothes and books for school.”

4. What did Reginald and Robert hope to do?

A. Be good examples for boys. B. Leave their hometown.

C Run their own business. D. Become well-known.

5. Why is the program called The Elephant Men?

A. It is the name of a book. B. It is based on a true story.

C. It aims to protect the elephant. D. It has the same spirit as the elephant.

6. What do the boys need to do to be part of the summer work program?

A. Buy clothes. B. Raise $200 for school to buy gifts.

C. Collect rubbish. D. Get a recommendation from the school.

7. How does Reginald feel about The Elephant Men program?

A. Grateful. B. Satisfied. C. Puzzled. D. Worried.

【答案】4. A    5. D    6. D    7. B

The human brain remembers negative experiences more easily than positive ones. Our brains have developed in this way because threats, like dangerous animals, have a more immediate effect on people’s survival compared to positive things like food or shelter. As a result, you clearly know what makes you unhappy, but do you know what makes you happy?

Research suggests that our level of happiness is partly shaped by the choices we make. If you’ve been chasing wealth, fame, power and some material things, you may be looking for happiness in the wrong places. Psychologists suggest that the following habits can make people happier.

People who own close relationships tend to be happier than those who do not. The number of our friends is not important. What matters is the quality of our relationships. Relationships that bring happiness usually consist of the sharing of feelings, acceptance, mutual (双方的) respect and trust.

People who exercise regularly can improve both their physical and mental well-being. Some research has shown that exercise can be as effective as some medicine in treating depression.

If we are so interested in an activity, we may lose track of time, and we can be in a state of flow. The activity could be playing the piano, surfing the Internet or playing a game… People who experience flow in their work or life tend to be happier.

People are more likely to be happy if they know what their strengths are and can use them regularly. People are especially happy when they can set goals and use their strengths to achieve them.

People, who think positively by being grateful, mindful and optimistic, are more likely to be happy. Being grateful means being thankful. Being mindful means considering, focusing on, and enjoying the experiences of the present moment. Being optimistic means being hopeful about the future.

8. Why do Human brains remember negative things more easily?

A. Because negative things tend to affect human survival immediately

B. Because negative things are easy to remember

C. Because negative things are much more important than other things

D. Because negative things can make people live much happier

9. According to this passage, in which of the following can people not find happiness?

A. making friends B. doing sports C. playing the violin D. chasing power

10. In the last paragraph, what does author try to tell us?

A. We should think more about our future.

B. We should be positive in our life and work.

C. We should focus on everything in our life.

D. We should only enjoy the present moment.

11. What does the passage mainly want to tell us?

A. Why people remember positive things easily.

B. Why people remember negative things easily.

C. Some habits that make people happy.

D. The habits the people form in their life.

【答案】8. A    9. D    10. B    11. C

【解析】

【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章作者介绍了生活中的哪些事情可以让我们快乐，同时告诉我们应该积极地对待生活和工作。

【8题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段Our brains have developed in this way because threats, like dangerous animals, have a more immediate effect on people’s survival compared to positive things like food or shelter.（我们的大脑之所以以这种方式发展，是因为威胁，比如危险的动物，比食物或住所等积极的东西对人类的生存有更直接的影响）可知人脑更容易记住消极的东西是因为消极的事情往往会立即影响人类的生存。故选A。

【9题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段If you’ve been chasing wealth, fame, power and some material things, you may be looking for happiness in the wrong places.（如果你一直在追求财富、名望、权力和一些物质的东西，你可能在错误的地方寻找幸福）可知追逐权力并不能让人们找到幸福。故选D。

【10题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段People, who think positively by being grateful, mindful and optimistic, are more likely to be happy. Being grateful means being thankful. Being mindful means considering, focusing on, and enjoying the experiences of the present moment. Being optimistic means being hopeful about the future.（通过感恩、留心和乐观来积极思考的人更有可能快乐。感恩意味着欣慰。用心意味着考虑、专注和享受当下的经历。乐观意味着对未来充满希望）可推知，在最后一段，作者想告诉我们应该积极地对待生活和工作。故选B。

【11题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第一段As a result, you clearly know what makes you unhappy, but do you know what makes you happy?（因此，你清楚地知道什么使你不快乐，但你知道什么使你快乐吗?）结合下文，作者介绍了生活中的哪些事情可以让我们快乐，所以这篇文章主要是想告诉我们一些让人快乐的习惯。故选C。

D

The Suez Canal (苏伊士运河),which connects the Mediterranean Sea (地中海) and the Red Sea, opened in 1869. It helps speed world trade between the East and the West. But the man-made waterway has also helped speed the rise of other things, such as non-native species, which have damaged the Mediterranean’s environment and caused native species to disappear.

The number of non-native species has risen since the Suez Canal was widened in 2015. The “New Suez Canal” has raised concerns in many Mediterranean countries.

Bella Galil is an Israeli biologist who has studied the Mediterranean for over 30 years. She noted that the widening and deepening of the Suez Canal had created a “moving aquarium” of species. These species could make coastal waters almost unusable for human beings. Galil believes the number of invasive species has reached 400, which is twice the number from 30 years ago.

Scientists in Mediterranean countries from Turkey, Tunisia to Lebanon share the same concern. But some Egyptians don’t consider the environmental concerns as serious. They said only 5% of the invaders are a problem and that invasive species can be helpful by “replacing species that are overfished”. They don’t think that the widening of the canal is responsible for the increase in invasive species; they say the increase was caused by rising water temperatures and wastewater from ships.

The Suez Canal Authority runs the canal. Canal officials say they are closely watching the movements of sea species. They say they are requiring ships to take action to avoid carrying species from one side of the canal to the other. And they are trying to keep salt levels high in the Bitter Lakes to block invasive species out. Galil, however, questions whether these will be enough to protect the native species. “One day we will wake up to a complete and irreversible (不可逆的) change and know that there was something we could have done about it, if only it had been done on time,” she said.

12. What does the first paragraph show?

A. Seeing is believing. B. Man will conquer nature.

C. Let nature take its course. D. Every coin has two sides.

13. What does Galil say about the “New Suez Canal”?

A. Its environment is worsening. B. It connects Mediterranean countries.

C. It is widened to include more species. D. It is to protect endangered native species.

14. What do some Egyptians disagree on?

A. The results of overfishing.

B. The decrease of native species.

C. The cause of the increase in invasive species.

D. The meaning of the widening of the Suez Canal.

15. What is Galil’s attitude to the Suez Canal Authority’s action?

A. Uninterested. B. Doubtful. C. Supporting. D. Understanding.

【答案】12. D    13. A    14. C    15. B

【解析】

【导语】本文是说明文。主要说明了苏伊士运河扩建后，非本地物种入侵严重，导致当地物种逐渐消失。

【12题详解】

推理判断题。根据第一段“The Suez Canal (苏伊士运河),which connects the Mediterranean Sea (地中海) and the Red Sea, opened in 1869. It helps speed world trade between the East and the West. But the man-made waterway has also helped speed the rise of other things, such as non-native species, which have damaged the Mediterranean’s environment and caused native species to disappear.(苏伊士运河于1869年开通，连接地中海和红海。它有助于加快东西方之间的世界贸易。但这条人造水道也加速了其他物种的崛起，比如非本地物种，它们破坏了地中海的环境，导致本地物种消失)”可知，苏伊士运河连接着地中海和红海，促进了东西方之间的贸易。但扩建后，外来物种入侵严重,这些入侵生物破坏了地中海的环境，导致当地物种逐渐消失。由此可以推知，本段说明凡事有利有弊。故选D。

【13题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段“Bella Galil is an Israeli biologist who has studied the Mediterranean for over 30 years. She noted that the widening and deepening of the Suez Canal had created a “moving aquarium” of species. These species could make coastal waters almost unusable for human beings. Galil believes the number of invasive species has reached 400, which is twice the number from 30 years ago.(Bella Galil是以色列生物学家，研究地中海已有30多年。她指出，苏伊士运河的拓宽和深化创造了一个物种的“移动水族馆”。这些物种可能会使沿海水域几乎无法供人类使用。加利尔认为，入侵物种的数量已经达到400种，是30年前的两倍)”可知，以色列生物学家Bella Galil表示扩建后，苏伊士运河的入侵物种使得沿海水域的水几乎不适合人类使用，而且入侵物种的数量是三十年前的两倍。由此可知，Galil谈到扩建后的New Suez Canal环境恶化。故选A。

【14题详解】

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的最后一句“They don’t think that the widening of the canal is responsible for the increase in invasive species; they say the increase was caused by rising water temperatures and wastewater from ships.(他们不认为运河的拓宽是入侵物种增加的原因；他们表示，这一增长是由水温上升和船舶废水造成的)”可知，埃及人不赞同扩建运河是造成入侵物种增加的原因的说法。故选C。

【15题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Galil, however, questions whether these will be enough to protect the native species.(然而，加利尔质疑这些措施是否足以保护本地物种)”可推知，Galil对于Suez Canal Authority采取的措施表示怀疑。故选B。

39. to create   

40. for    41. himself

【解析】

【导语】本文是篇记叙文。文章讲述了设计师Will Breaux亲自设计并用集装箱建造了一座2500平方英尺的房子，拥有了属于自己的梦想房屋。

【36题详解】

考查副词。句意：然而，有些人决定避开传统建筑，建造完全不同的建筑，例如集装箱屋。副词修饰形容词。故填completely。

【37题详解】

考查连接词。句意：这正是设计师Will Breaux所做的，现在他自豪地拥有一栋用船运集装箱建造的房子。空处为表语从句连接词，作did的宾语用what，故填what。

【38题详解】

考查语态和时态。句意：他的新家位于休斯敦的梅戈文街。be located on“位于”，本句在陈述事实，所以为一般现在时的被动语态。故填is located。

【39题详解】

考查非谓语动词。句意：这些集装箱叠放在一起，形成了一座三层楼的房子。动词不定式作目的状语。故填to create。

【40题详解】

考查介词。句意：Breaux从21世纪初就想建造自己的房子，然而，很长一段时间以来，他一直在努力寻找能设计出他想要的房子的人，所以最终Breaux决定自己建造。固定搭配for a long time“一段时间”。故填for。

【41题详解】

考查代词。句意：Breaux从21世纪初就想建造自己的房子，然而，很长一段时间以来，他一直在努力寻找能设计出他想要的房子的人，所以最终Breaux决定自己建造。表示他自己，用反身代词。故填himself。

【42题详解】

【43题详解】

考查非谓语动词。句意：在花了很长时间学习用船运集装箱建造房子的所有知识后，Breaux拥有了一栋2500平方英尺的令人印象深刻的房子。spend time (in) doing sth“花时间做某事”。故填learning。

【44题详解】

考查冠词。句意：在花了很长时间学习用船运集装箱建造房子的所有知识后，Breaux拥有了一栋2500平方英尺的令人印象深刻的房子。泛指“一栋2500平方英尺的令人印象深刻的房子”，impressive首字母的发音为元音音素。故填an。

【45题详解】

考查副词。句意：现在这所房子家具齐全，看起来就像布劳想象的那样。副词修饰动词。故填fully。

第四部分  写作(共两节，满分25分)

第一节 根据课文内容填空(每空0.5分，满分10分)

46. Who knows what beautiful works of art you________(create), what medical advances you will make or what________ (amaze) technologies you will develop!(用所给词的适当形式填空)

【答案】    ①. will create    ②. amazing

【解析】

【详解】考查时态和形容词。句意：谁知道你们将创造出多么美丽的艺术作品，你们将取得什么样的医学进步，或者你们将开发出多么惊人的技术! 分析句子可知，提示词create(创造)是定语从句中谓语动词，与主语you之间是主动关系，结合句意，描述将来的可能，应使用一般将来时态will create；提示词amaze作定语，修饰名词technologies，用-ing形容词amazing，意为“惊人的，了不起的”。故填will create；amazing。

47. ________equal importance are good study habits, useful skills and________ positive attitude. (用适当的词填空)

【答案】    ①. Of    ②. a

【解析】

【详解】考查介词和冠词。句意：良好的学习习惯、有用的技能和积极的态度同样重要。句中be of+importance为固定短语，相当于be important，意为“重要的”，第一空置于句首，开头单词大写，故填Of；第二空中attitude为可数名词，此处表示泛指，故使用不定冠词，其修饰词positive的首字母为辅音音素，故用a。故填Of；a。

48. As Lao-Tzu wisely said, “A journey of a thousand miles________(begin) with a single step.” You need to make a continuous effort________(train) your mind and develop your character. (用所给词的适当形式填空)

【答案】    ①. begins    ②. to train

【解析】

【详解】考查时态、主谓一致和非谓语动词。句意：老子说得好：“千里之行，始于足下。”你需要不断的努力来训练你的思想和发展你的性格。第一个空格处是谓语，引用老子的话应该用一般现在时，主语是a journey，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，故填begins。第二个空格处应该用不定式作定语，修饰前面的名词effort。故填①begins；②to train。

49. I found Maths quite easy and________(enjoy) because the material was________(advanced) in the UK than in China. (用所给词的适当形式填空)

【答案】    ①. enjoyable    ②. less advanced

【解析】

【详解】考查形容词和比较级。句意：我发现数学非常简单和有趣，因为英国的材料没有中国的高等。第一空用形容词作宾语补足语，enjoy的形容词是enjoyable，意为“令人愉快的”；由“I found Maths quite easy”可知，第二空所在处的句子表示“因为英国的材料没有中国的高等”，第二空意为“不那么高等的”，用比较级less advanced，故填enjoyable，less advanced。

50. Also, I enjoyed acting in the Theatre club. I still have photos of myself________(act) in William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.________ (join) clubs was a great way to meet British students and make friends with them. (用所给词的适当形式填空)

【答案】    ①. acting    ②. Joining

【解析】

【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：此外，我喜欢在戏剧俱乐部表演。我还保留着自己在莎士比亚的《仲夏夜之梦》中表演的照片。加入俱乐部是认识英国学生并与他们交朋友的好方法。分析句子，第一空中have为谓语动词，设空处使用非谓语动词，此处myself与act之间是主动关系，故使用现在分词作后置定语，故用acting；第二空中was为谓语动词，设空处使用动名词作主语，同时该空置于句首，开头单词首字母大写，故用Joining。故答案为acting；Joining。

51. ________ (heat) arguments and cold silences are common between teenagers________their parents. (用所给词的适当形式填空)

【答案】    ①. Heated    ②. and

【解析】

【详解】考查形容词和连词。句意：青少年和父母之间经常发生激烈的争吵和冷淡的沉默。根据句子结构分析，空一修饰后面名词arguments，作前置定语，用形容词形式，heated“激烈的”符合题意，空二填and ，between...and...“……和……之间”，固定短语。故填①Heated；②and。

52. You enter a strange middle ground — no longer a small child but not quite________adult. You have both a new desire for independence and a continued need for your________(parent) love and support. (用所给词的适当形式填空)

【答案】    ①. an    ②. parents’

【解析】

【详解】考查冠词和名词所有格。句意：你进入了一个奇怪的中间地带——不再是小孩子，但也不完全是成年人。你对独立有了新的渴望，也继续需要父母的爱和支持。根据句意和第一个空格前的单数可数名词adult可知，空格处应该填入一个不定冠词，adult的发音是元音音素开头，所以应该用an。parent是可数名词，表示“父母” 应该用复数形式，且与后面的love and support是所属关系，应用名词所有格。故填①an；②parents’。

53. ________ (fortunate), your parents do not always agree. and that makes you feel________(happy). (用所给词的适当形式填空)

【答案】    ①. Unfortunately    ②. unhappy

【解析】

【详解】①考查副词。句意：不幸是，你的父母并不总是同意，这让你感到不开心。根据句意和下文的do not always agree分析句子可知，空格处应该用副词形式unfortunately作状语，修饰后面的句子。故填Unfortunately。

②考查形容词。句意：不幸的是，你的父母并不总是同意，这让你感到不开心。根据上文的do not always agree可知，空格处应该用happy的反义词unhappy作表语。故填unhappy。

54. Just remember that it is completely normal to struggle with the stress________parent-child tensions create, and________you and your parents can work together to improve your relationship.(用适当的词填空)

【答案】    ①. that##which    ②. that

【解析】

【详解】考查定语从句和宾语从句。句意：只要记住，与亲子关系紧张带来的压力作斗争是完全正常的，你和你的父母可以共同努力改善你们的关系。 根据句意分析句子可知，　　　　　　　parent-child tensions create是一个定语从句，对先行词stress进行限定说明，该定语从句缺少宾语，所以空格处应该填入一个关系代词代替先行词在从句中作宾语，所以应该用that或which。第二个空格后面的部分是动词remember的第二个宾语从句，该从句不缺成分，意义完整，所以应该用只起连接作用、无实意的that引导，连词and后不可省略。故填①that或which；②that。

55. ________ (eager) we gathered around the table. I took down a box and________(lay) it carefully in front of Mama. This was the “Little Bank”. (用所给词的适当形式填空)

【答案】    ①. Eagerly    ②. laid

【解析】

【详解】考查副词和时态。句意：我们急切地围在桌子旁。我取下一个盒子，小心翼翼地放在妈妈面前。这就是“小银行”。副词作状语修饰句子，置于句首，首字母大写。再根据“took down”可知，空处填过去式laid。故填Eagerly;laid。
