B
My 15-year-old boy is a high achiever. He is very bright, pursuing everything he does with devotion and determination. And he is a great kid; honest, kind, faithful and caring.
Like a lot of kids who are high achievers he is a perfectionist and very easy to fall into anxiety. That is manifested in his study, and other things he does as well. For example, he loves tennis but he is often worried about losing in the game. Now he has to stop competing because the pressure he puts on himself is becoming unhealthy. He still plays, but playing socially rather than competitively means that it’s an outlet for him rather than a source of stress.
He does not manage stress well. He puts so much pressure on himself to the point of worrying himself sick over just about every assessment. And he gets so negative about it, everything I say to him is met with negativity, every suggestion with a response that it won’t work, and honestly it’s depressing and tiring.
To help my son, I had a patient conversation with him, and he finally followed my advice about physical exercise to ease stress. Whenever he was under a lot of pressure, I would run with him for half an bour and do some push-ups to relax the pressure. Gradually, he became less nervous in the later exams and his scores became more and more stable.
Pressure from grades and perfectionism can be really hard to manage when it comes to schooling. As kids, what they need is effective communication and sincere encouragement. So I have always told and shown my son that we’re proud of him, and that pride doesn’t merely depend on top grades.
4. Which of the following best explains “manifested” underlined in paragraph 2?
A. Exchanged. B. Explored. C. Achieved. D. Reflected.
5. Why does the author’s son keep playing tennis?
A. He is a high achiever. B. He’s easy to fall sick.
C. He hopes to release stress. D. He wants to win the game.
6. What does the author mainly tell us about his son in paragraph 3?
A. His son fails to handle stress properly. B. His son becomes tired of stress.
C. His son is good at some sports. D. His son is doing well at school.
7. What is the author’s advice for his son?

C. Doing some exercise with him. D. Talking to friends as much as possible.

【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“To help my son, I had a patient conversation with him, and he finally followed my advice about physical exercise to ease stress. Whenever he was under a lot of pressure, I would run with him for half an bour and do some push-ups to relax the pressure.(为了帮助儿子,我和他进行了耐心的交谈,他最终听从了我的建议,通过锻炼来缓解压力。每当他压力很大的时候,我会和他一起跑步半小时,做一些俯卧撑来放松压力)”可知,作者给儿子的建议是和他一起做运动。故选C。

Some Asian children are becoming increasingly fat, a new report says. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) joint report was released on Monday. The two agencies call for better regulation of junk food and a limit on sugary drinks for children. They also call for action against malnutrition (营养不良), because a lack of food has prevented children who live in poverty growing normally and healthily-or rather, hurts their development.
Dorothy Foote is a UNICEF regional nutritional specialist. She says the lack of food affects children’s height and development inside their bodies. But at the same time, the area is facing high levels of overweight children.
The main reason for the food problems, the report says, is that there is more junk food available, which does not provide nutrition. Another problem is drinks with high sugar or high trans-fat, but low nutritional value. Lack of physical activity is also part of the problem, the report adds.
Foote says this is seen in nutrition across the area. She says people lack knowledge about what is needed and normal for healthy children’s development.
The economic growth in the area has brought unhealthy products to rural areas. Poor and middle-class families buy them and do not make the right choices to use healthier foods instead. Poor feeding practices, especially for children younger than two, mean ongoing high levels of malnutrition.
The report says governments need to regulate the marketing of junk food and sugary drinks to children. It also calls for better feeding practices for infants and young children, and treatment for severely malnourished children. And it says the countries should work to reduce poverty and make sure that children stay in school.
8. What does the report focus on?
A. The economic growth in Asia.
B. Asian countries’ development.
C. The education in Asian rural areas.
D. Some Asian children’s health problems.
9. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph5 refer to?
A. The right choices. B. The high levels.
C. The unhealthy products. D. The healthier foods.
10. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The children’s situations. B. The report’s suggestions.
C. The governments’ efforts. D. The problem’s causes.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The reasons for children’s being hungry
B. How to stop children from being overweight?
C. Why children in Asia become overweight?
D. Asian children face malnutrition or fatness
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为说明文。文章介绍了新的报告称一些亚洲儿童变得越来越胖。联合国儿童基金会和世界卫生组织呼吁更好地监管垃圾食品,并限制儿童含糖饮料。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段“Some Asian children are becoming increasingly fat, a new report says. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) joint report was released on Monday. The two agencies call for better regulation of junk food and a limit on sugary drinks for children. They also call for action against malnutrition, because a lack of food has prevented children who live in poverty growing normally and healthily-or rather, hurts their development. (一份新报告称,一些亚洲儿童变得越来越胖。联合国儿童基金会和世界卫生组织的联合报告于周一发布。这两个机构呼吁更好地监管垃圾食品,并限制儿童含糖饮料。他们还呼吁采取行动消除营养不良,因为缺乏食物使生活在贫困中的儿童无法正常、健康地成长,或者更确切地说,损害了他们的发展)”可知,报告关注的是一些亚洲儿童的健康问题。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。由第五段第一句“The economic growth in the area has brought unhealthy products to rural areas. (该地区的经济增长给农村地区带来了不健康的产品)”可知,them指代的是前文提及的不健康的食品,即一些贫穷或中产阶级的家庭购买这些不健康的食品,而不是选择更健康的食品。故选C项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。由最后一段“The report says governments need to regulate the marketing of junk food and sugary drinks to children. It also calls for better feeding practices for infants and young children, and treatment for severely malnourished children. And it says the countries should work to reduce poverty and make sure that children stay in school. (报告称,政府需要监管向儿童销售垃圾食品和含糖饮料。它还呼吁为婴儿和幼儿提供更好的喂养方法,并对严重营养不良的儿童进行治疗。它说,各国应该努力减少贫困,并确保儿童留在学校)”可知,最后一段主要呼吁政府采取一些措施。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第一段“Some Asian children are becoming increasingly fat, a new report says. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) joint report was released on Monday. The two agencies call for better regulation of junk food and a limit on sugary drinks for children. They also call for action against malnutrition, because a lack of food has prevented children who live in poverty growing normally and healthily-or rather, hurts their development.

D
The essence (本质) of fast fashion is to make clothes inexpensively and quickly, to get new trends and styles into stores and online as soon as possible, and it comes at a high social and environmental cost. Keeping production costs low means they can make their clothes cheap, using cheap labour in unsafe working conditions, and in countries with bad environmental regulations.
Throw-away culture is deeply rooted in our society; three in five of our clothing pieces are thrown out within a year. Fast fashion brands keep the consumers hungry and feeling like they need more by attracting them with newness and convincing the consumers that they need what they’re selling. This only results in increasing textile waste as people no longer want but throw it away.
Criticisms of the fast fashion industry include its negative environmental impact: water pollution, the use of toxic (有毒的) chemicals and increasing levels of textile waste. Textile dyeing is the second largest polluter of clean water globally, after agriculture. Fast fashion companies rely on their products being made cheaply and quickly, so they avoid talking when it comes to being aware of their impact on the environment. Greenpeace’s recent Detox Campaign showed that many brands use toxic and dangerous chemicals in their supply chains, and many of the chemicals are either banned or strictly controlled in lots of countries.
In conclusion, the fast fashion industry has a bad effect on our environment through fast fashion brands’ ecological practices and only continues to make the problem last for a long time in the future through extreme consumerist culture. In order for change to happen, the common people need to open their eyes and take measures to prevent the fast fashion from growing.
12. What’s one of the characteristics of fast fashion?
A. Causing a lot of anxiety. B. Making people buy old clothes.
C. Selling most clothes through stores. D. Producing clothes quickly.
13. Why are fast fashion clothes cheap?
A. They are mainly sold online. B. They are made in unsafe countries.
C. They are made by cheap labour. D. They save the cost of advertising.
14. How does the society think of throwing away clothes according to the author?
A. Natural. B. Surprising. C. Absurd. D. Puzzling.
15. What’s the way to change fast fashion mentioned in the text?
A. Changing fast fashion brands’ working conditions.
B. Changing clothes stores’ sales model.
C. Introducing stricter laws for factories.
D. Raising public awareness of preventing fast fashion.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“快时尚”对环境的负面影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The essence of fast fashion is to make clothes inexpensively and quickly, to get new trends and styles into stores and online as soon as possible, and it comes at a high social and environmental cost.(快时尚的本质是快速廉价地生产衣服,让新的潮流和风格尽快进入商店和网上,这需要高昂的社会和环境成本)”可知,快时尚的特征之一是快速生产衣服。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Keeping production costs low means they can make their clothes cheap, using cheap labour in unsafe working conditions, and in countries with bad environmental regulations.(保持低生产成本意味着他们可以在不安全的工作条件下使用廉价劳动力,在环境法规糟糕的国家生产廉价服装)”可知,快时尚的衣服便宜是因为它们是由廉价劳动力制造的。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Throw-away culture is deeply rooted in our society; three in five of our clothing pieces are thrown out within a year.(一次性文化在我们的社会中根深蒂固;我们五分之三的衣服在一年内就被扔掉了)”推知,社会认为扔掉衣服是自然的事情。故选A。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In order for change to happen, the common people need to open their eyes and take measures to prevent the fast fashion from growing.(为了改变发生,老百姓需要睁开眼睛,采取措施防止快时尚的增长)”可知,文中提到的改变快时尚的方法是提高公众对防止快时尚的意识。故选D。

Set clear screen time limits
Establish how many minutes or hours you’re OK with them each week, and make it something that can never be changed.

___19___
There are numerous half- and full-day camp options and lessons that can occupy a child’s time, such as swimming, art classes, tennis, dinosaur camp and sports camp. Look around your community for activities that can get them out of the house for a few hours each day.
Establish a reading routine (习惯)
___20___. Take your kid along to choose what she or he wants to read, and that will help keep them enthusiastic. Back home and see if you can set up a comfortable reading corner where they will be willing to read and let reading become a good habit gradually.
A. Sign up for lessons
B. Assign household work
C. That helps stop arguments of screen time

【16题详解】
由上文“It’s time to keep kids off the screens! Parents should use the winter vacation to remind their children of what it’s like to play freely, offline for hours on end.(是时候让孩子们远离屏幕了!家长们应该利用寒假提醒孩子们,在线下连续几个小时自由玩耍是什么感觉。)”以及后文“Here are some practical strategies for giving kids a screen-free winter.(这里有一些给孩子们一个无屏幕的冬天的实用策略。)”可知,本段主要是给父母说提供一些让孩子不看屏幕线下玩的策略。而D项“Of course, this is easier said than done(当然,这说起来容易做起来难)”符合文意,其中this代指前文keep kids off the screens,且本句有启下作用,引出下文some practical strategies。故选D项。
【17题详解】
由本段小标题“Set clear screen time limits(设置规定屏幕时间限制)”和后文“Establish how many minutes or hours you’re OK with them each week, and make it something that can never be changed.(确定每周有多少分钟或小时你可以接受他们看屏幕,并使之成为永远无法改变的事情。)”可知,本段主要讲规定孩子看屏幕的时间,而C项“That helps stop arguments of screen time(这有助于停止关于屏幕时间的争论)”符合语境,其中that指代前面的方法,且screen time也和本段小标题对应。故选C项。
【18题详解】
由本段小标题“Get kids cooking(让孩子做饭)”和前文“Involve them in meal preparation by assigning recipes that you’d like them to make each day. (通过分配你希望他们每天制作的食谱,让他们参与膳食准备。)”可知,本段主要讲让孩子们参与到做饭当中,而F项“They’ll develop new skills at cutting, cooking and baking(他们将培养切菜、烹饪和烘焙的新技能)”符合语境,其中cooking和小标题对应。故选F项。
【19题详解】
由后文“There are numerous half- and full-day camp options and lessons that can occupy a child’s time, such as swimming, art classes, tennis, dinosaur camp and sports camp. Look around your community for activities that can get them out of the house for a few hours each day.(有许多半日和全天的营地选项和课程可以占用孩子的时间,如游泳、艺术课、网球、恐龙营和运动营。在你的社区周围寻找可以让他们每天外出几个小时的活动。)”可知,本段主要讲让孩子们参加一些课程,而A项“Sign up for lessons(报名课程)”符合语境,有概括本段内容的作用。故选A项。
【20题详解】
由本段小标题“Establish a reading routine (习惯)(建立阅读习惯)”和后文“Take your kid along to choose what she or he wants to read, and that will help keep them enthusiastic.(带着孩子一起选择她或他想读的内容,这将有助于保持他们的热情。)”可知,作者这里讲让读书保持孩子们的热情,而G项“Go to the library once a week to store up fresh reading material(每周去图书馆一次,储存新鲜的阅读材料)”符合语境,其中once a week和小标题routine对应,reading material也与下文what she or he wants to read对应。故选G项。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题1分满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
It has been an unwritten rule that those who become 30 years old must have already been in a stable (稳定的) place. ____21____, they might be considered a failure.
I am turning 30 tomorrow and I ask myself, “Should I ____22____ this deadline?” I am still renting an apartment, and living alone. This seems far from ____23____ for most, but it looks nice to me.
When I graduated years ago, I ____24____ worked as a journalist because I had been dreaming of writing stories for the ____25____ since childhood, and I thought I would stick to it forever. But as time flies, I realize that it will be unwise to ____26____ myself to just one path. Therefore, I decide to start my another pursuit—studying law.
Was I ____27____ before? No. I have learned that there is no single formula (公式) for ____28____ and happiness. Our lives are filled with ____29____ possibilities. While I really love my current career, I have also been interested in being a _____30_____. So why should I _____31_____ the dream to the end just because I am 30 already?
Turning 30 can also be a chance to do whatever you like. You needn’t care about how others will _____32_____ your decisions. The most important part is that you are just being yourself and _____33_____ it. Turning 30 is just like any other birthday. Stop feeling _____34_____ about your age and try to _____35_____ all the opportunities and surprises that life throws on your way.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议。作者通过讲述自己的的工作选择经历,反对人到了30岁必须要稳定下来这一理念,主张我们不要被30岁所限制,人生充满无限可能,我们要学会接受生活给予的所有机会和惊喜。
【21题详解】

【22题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:明天我就30岁了,我问自己:“我应该害怕这个最后期限吗?”A. fear害怕;B. approach接近;C. determine决定;D. miss错过,想念。此处的deadline指的是作者马上到30岁,再根据首段的不成文规定,到了30岁不稳定被认为是失败的人,再结合后文“I am still renting an apartment, and living alone”作者仍然租房子住,所以作者问自己应不应该“害怕”30岁的即将来临。故答案为A。
【23题详解】
考查形容词词义辨析。句意:这对大多数人来说似乎远不能令人满意,但对我来说却很不错。A. common普遍的;B. active活跃的;C. satisfactory令人满意的;D. stressful压力大的。连词“but”表明前后句意呈转折关系,but后是“nice”,空前的“far from”表示远非,所以C选项符合题意,far from satisfactory和nice构成转折。故答案为C。

【26题详解】

【27题详解】
考查形容词词义辨析。句意:我之前错了吗?A. impressed印象深刻的;B. wrong错误的;C. powerful强大的;D. cheerful欢快的。根据后文提示“there is no single formula (公式)”可知,B选项符合题意,作者认为自己的选择不存在对与错,因为没有单一的公示去明确正确的选择是什么。故答案为B。
【28题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意:不。我明白了成功和幸福没有单一的公式。A. freedom自由;B. independence独立;C. existence存在;D. success成功。根据并列连词“and”和提示词“happiness”,选项D符合题意,同时也呼应首段的“failure”。故答案为D。

【32题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:你不必在意别人会如何评价你的决定。A. ignore忽略;B. judge评判;C. recognize识别;D. respect尊重。根据空前内容“do whatever you like”和空后内容“The most important part is that you are just being yourself”可推知B选项符合题意,作者强调做自己,不要去在乎别人的“评价”。故答案为B。
【33题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:最重要的是,你只是做你自己,并享受它。A. observing观察;B. stressing强调;C. doubting怀疑;D. enjoying享受。空后宾语it指代前文的“being yourself”,所以是“享受”做自己。故答案为D。

【35题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:不要为你的年龄感到焦虑,试着接受生活抛给你的所有机会和惊喜。A. assume假定;B. accept接受;C. leave离开;D. ignore忽略。并列词“and”表明前后句意相同或相近,前文强调不要被30岁所限制,所以是要“接受”所有的机会和惊喜。故答案为B。
第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
For a book lover, stepping into a bookstore is always exciting, but a new bookstore in China makes the experience really ____36____ (amaze).
Located in the west of Chengdu in Sichuan Province, there is a bookstore that is just like a magical world. Upon entering, visitors can see C-shaped bookcases, ____37____ create a series of private spaces. In the center of the store, towering arches (拱门) take advantage of the full ____38____ (high) of the space.
It looks like the books ____39____ (spread) out from the floor to the ceiling. But actually the books placed on the highest levels are not real. The store already has ____40____ collection of over 80,000 books, so there’s actually no waste of space.

The children’s reading area, for example, features panda posters, bamboo bookshelves and colorful cushions (坐垫). The panda pictures hanging on the bookshelves are like pandas ____42____ (climb) on high branches. The colorful cushions can provide comfort ____43____ children to sit on the ground and relax. All the ____44____ (element) of the design come together to give visitors an interesting experience.
In a word, it really _____45_____ (present) the local famous man-made landscape, even though it is in an artistic way.
【答案】36. amazing
37. which 38. height
39. are spread
40. a 41. to serve
42. climbing
43. for 44. elements
45. presents
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国四川成都西部的一家新书店,让人体验到很奇妙的感觉,它以一种艺术的方式呈现了当地著名的人造景观。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:对于一个爱书的人来说,走进书店总是令人兴奋的,但在中国的一家新书店让这种体验真的很奇妙。形容词作宾补,对宾语物the experience进行补充说明,用修饰物的-ing结尾形容词amazing (令人吃惊的),故填amazing。
37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:进入后,游客可以看到C形书架,它们创造了一系列私人空间。该空引导在非限制性定语从句,先行词C-shaped bookcases,为物,关系词在非限制性定语从句中作主语,用关系代词which。故填which。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:在商店的中心,高耸的拱门充分利用了整个空间的高度。作宾语,所以用名词,后面有of短语限定,所以用不可数名词height,故填height。
【39题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:看起来这些书是从地板铺到天花板的。从句谓语动词spread和从句主语the books之间是被动关系,描述现状,所以用一般现在时态的被动语态,从句主语是复数,从句谓语用复数形式,故填are spread。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这家书店已经收藏了8万多本书,所以实际上没有浪费空间。泛指一个,collection以辅音音素开头,所以用不定冠词a,故填a。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:穿过商店的游客会发现设计用于不同用途的区域。be designed to do sth.(被设计来做某事),serve用不定式形式。故填to serve。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:书架上挂着的熊猫图片就像熊猫爬在高高的树枝上。本句已有系动词are且无连词,动词climb用非谓语形式,逻辑主语pandas与动词climb是主谓关系,climb用现在分词(doing)表主动,做后置定语。故填climbing。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:五颜六色的垫子可以为坐在地上放松的孩子们提供舒适。固定搭配provide sth. for sb. (提供某人某物),故填for。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:设计的所有元素结合在一起,给游客一个有趣的体验。前面有all,所以用可数名词element的复数形式,故填elements。
【45题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:总之,它确实呈现了当地著名的人造景观,尽管它是以艺术的方式呈现的。描述现状,所以用一般现在时态,主语为it,所以谓语动词present用第三人称单数,故填presents。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jonathan had been wandering on the streets for almost a whole day after angrily running away from his home in the morning. Thinking of his quarrel with his mother for his study, he still felt depressed and hopeless.
It was freezing and snowing at dusk on such a winter day. And the sky was dark. He was walking down an empty set where there were no passers-by, because people must have locked themselves at home for warmth. Jonathan was walking to a crossroad when suddenly he encountered a little boy stuck in the middle of the road alone like him.
Jonathan had meant to turn a blind eye to him at first. But the boy’s sad crying and the worry that he might be hit by cars made Jonathan just not walk away. He approached, saying, “Hey! What are you doing alone here? Where is your mother?”
“I want to go to mama and papa. Please take me home,” the boy replied, bursting into tears. Jonathan led him away from the crossroad. Then, he asked worriedly, “How did you come here? What’s your name?”
“I’m Leo. I was playing with my cat. He ran away, and I ran after him for a long distance. But when I turned back home, I lost my way,” cried the boy. Feeling pity for the boy, Jonathan decided that he couldn’t leave the little boy alone here. With no cellphone and considering the police station was far from here, Jonathan decided to help him first.
He took him to different neighborhoods, aiming to look for his home. But things didn’t go that smoothly as he had expected. It was getting darker, and Jonathan thought he had to find Leo’s home. He knocked on every door, noneffective. Exhausted and starving, he realized Leo must be as hungry as him. He offered him the chocolate he had bought with his rest money. It was snowing more heavily, and he removed his coat and put it around Leo.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly, a police car was drawing, and Jonathan waved with excitement to it.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Seeing Leo and his parents off, Jonathan was lost in thought.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Suddenly, a police car was drawing, and Jonathan waved with excitement to it. To his relief, the police car pulled up and two policemen got off. Jonathan couldn’t wait to explain what had happened to Leo. Then, the policemen checked for any missing person’s report without any delay, but found none. Having no choice, they drove the two of them around the nearby to continue searching for Leo’s home. Finally, they made it to contact the boy’s parents. Jonathan was more than glad to witness Leo’s reunion with his parents.
Seeing Leo and his parents off, Jonathan was lost in thought. Recalling how anxious Leo’s parents were and how joyful the boy was to see his parents again just now, Jonathan was deeply touched. He thought his parents must be as worried as Leo’s. Or maybe they were anxiously searching the world for their son right now. He grew guilty for ignoring his parents’ love for him and for what he had done today. All his anger dying away in an instant, he rushed in the direction of his home.
