A
The world is full of beauty in every corner. Here are four world’s top breathtaking and beautiful travelling destinations (目的地) for you to pay a visit to.
Dominica
Dominica is known as “nature island” for a reason. This tiny Caribbean state, focuses on hot springs and long -distance walking in the rainforest rather than playing on the beach. Boiling Lake, in the Morne Trois Pitons National Park, can be reached by mountainous paths, a body of water that is well worth a visit.
Lake Bled, Slovenia
Lake Bled is one of the largest freshwater lakes on Earth. At its center lies a small island, surrounded by deep blue water. It’s no surprise that Lake Bled has developed into one of the hottest destinations in Europe in recent years. Suitable for walking and diving (潜水) adventures, this is a corner of Slovenia that needs to be explored.
Samburu, Kenya
As a hard-to-reach place in the heart of Kenya, Samburu provides a quiet and safe environment, which is good enough for some of Africa’s most unique wildlife to live in. The rich grassland of its national nature protection area is home to the endangered giraffe, as well as the pioneering Elephant Watch Camp.
Positano, Italy
Located on Italy’s Amalfi Coast, Positano is one of the most beautiful villages in Europe. Famous for its special small gift shops and waterside restaurants, not to mention the Byzantine Church (教堂), it makes for the perfect summer getaway. For divers, with its colorful plants and fish, it’s a really perfect place. Make sure to see its full form by taking a boat out from the beach for excellent sunset views.
1. What can a tourist do in Dominica?
A. Explore the nature protection area. B. Relax themselves at hot springs.
C. Go shopping at the gift shops. D. Walk on the grassland freely.
2. Which is probably the best place if you’ re interested in African animals?
A. Dominica. B. Lake Bled. C. Samburu. D. Positano.
3. What do Lake Bled and Positano have in common?
A. They are both rich in fresh water. B. They are both great places to go diving.
C. Tourists can enjoy the beautiful sunset. D. Tourists can visit the unique local church.
B
As we grow up, it becomes natural for people around us to lose contact with the hobbies that once were dominant in their lives. While it’s painful to accept this, the new reality becomes normal for most of us as we face new academic, adult and job responsibilities.
I’ve been dancing since I was four and I plan to continue dancing in college. However I’ve always feared that dancing will affect my study and eventually become a brilliant memory of my childhood. After learning about Sommer Gentry’s story, I had an answer.
Sommer Gentry, previously a professor of mathematics at the United States Naval Academy and a coach at the Naval Academy’s Swing Dance Club, is currently a teacher at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Gentry and her husband also started a swing dance community to introduce non-dancers to swing dance.
Through teaching, Gentry was inspired to view dancing from an engineering point of view. She said, “I realized it is an engineering question: how do you dance well with someone? It’d be great to give people mathematical and engineering proofs that they have to dance the way I say.” Gentry investigated the complex haptic (触觉的) communication behind the moves in swing dance and showed that two persons could move in coordination (协调) with pure haptic communication, She entered an exciting area of research which is about engineering, psychology and human motor control.
It’s incredibly inspiring that Gentry was able to intertwine her academic work with her passion for dancing. Gentry said, “It means that even when I’m dancing outside, I’m thinking about my research project.”
Gentry found that digging into her academic interest does not mean letting go of her other non-academic ones. Instead, she found a way to include both in her professional life. Just like me, Gentry is a mathematician and dancer, thus, her story resonates (引起共鸣) strongly with me, and I want to be like her in the future.
4. What did the author think of dancing before learning of Gentry’s story?
A. It was too challenging for her B. It’d gradually disappear from her life.
C. It’d help develop her sense of responsibility. D. It brought her an unpleasant childhood memory.
5. What contributed to Gentry’s studying dancing from the angle of engineering?
A. Her interest in exploring engineering proofs. B. Her husband’s need to promote his dance club.
C. Her desire to be an expert in medicine and health. D. Her experience in teaching math and swing dance.
6. What does the underlined word “intertwine” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Hardly balance B. Carefully compare. C. Closely combine. D. Successfully challenge.
7. What does the last paragraph imply about the author?
A. She has decided to change her major. B. She will continue to pursue her hobby.
C. She used to be Sommer Gentry’s student. D. She originally had little interest in engineering.
C
Cows produce much methane (甲烷), the world’s second worst greenhouse gas, as they break down the grass. They are a large source of the greenhouse gases that are driving climate change. Now scientists have shown the pollution from cows can be reduced by adding a little seaweed (海藻) to their food.
Recently, the researchers from the University of California studied 21 cows on a farm for about five months. They taught the cows to get their food from inside a special hood (罩), which allowed the scientists to know the amount of the methane the cows were giving off. They used a small amount of seaweed, which they mixed with the cows’ food.
The results were surprisingly good. In some cases, the cows produced 82% less methane. The improvement depended on the kind of food the cows were given. Even the worst-polluting cows produced 33% less methane. Over the five months, the scientists didn’t see any signs that the cows’ stomachs were getting used to the seaweed and starting to produce more methane again. What’s more, the cows that were fed seaweed gained just as much weight as the other cows.
But there are still some big problems with the idea of feeding cows seaweed. For one thing, there’s not enough seaweed to feed all of the cows in the world. So farmers would have to figure out a way to grow lots of seaweed. A bigger problem is that for most of their lives, cows live in the fields, where they eat grass. That means there’s no chance to feed them seaweed every day.
Still, it’s very good news that something as simple as feeding cows seaweed can help reduce some of the pollution causing the climate crisis.
8. Why did the researchers carry out the study?
A. To improve the cows’ welfare.
B. To test the effects of the seaweed.
C. To measure the amount of methane produced by cows.
D. To discover healthier grass to reduce the pollution from cows.
9. What’s the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The results of the study.
B. The process of the research.
C. The content of the experiment.
D. The information of the subjects.
10. What is the biggest challenge in the researchers’ opinion?
A. Seaweed is pretty rare in the world.
B. It’s hard to mix seaweed with grass.
C. Cows fed with seaweed gained weight easily.
D. Cows can hardly have daily access to seaweed.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the findings?
A. Doubtful. B. Negative.
C. Unclear. D. Positive.
D
A broken heart. A sad ending to a love affair. That’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life. But no question, the experience can be hard to get over.
But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can arouse (激发,唤醒) the desire (渴望) to connect with others.
Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart. A recent study from Germany found the emotional influence of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy (共情), and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from concentration on yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.
Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously accept the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did.
These findings link with other studies that show accepting your sad situation emotionally leads to healing and growth beyond it. It seems unbelievable but it does make sense. For example, research from Cornell University, published in Psychological Science, found that accepting discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, encourages people to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It fuels hope.
12 What can we learn from paragraph 3 and paragraph 4?
A. Sad music can make people help others.
B. Sad music can make sad people feel better.
C. Sad music can make people believe in themselves.
D. Sad music can make people concentrate on themselves.
13. What does Churchill advise us to do when experiencing discomfort?
A. Listen to a sad song. B. Avoid unwise actions.
C. Find support from others. D. Face the discomfort directly.
14. How does the author develop this text?
A. By listing figures.
B. By giving directions.
C. By comparing examples.
D. By presenting research findings.
15. Which is the best title for the text?
A. How to Find Pathways through Heartaches
B. How We React to A Broken Heart Matters a Lot
C. What We Can Do to Overcome Discomfort in Life
D. Why Listening to Sad Music Heals Your Broken Heart
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
During your school years, you will face many challenges. Sometimes you may not have all the solutions and need help. At this time, peer tutoring (同伴指导) is one of the most helpful tools. Peer tutors are understanding, helpful and especially honest. ___16___
Recognize your mistakes
This will probably be the most uncomfortable part, but peer tutors simply want you to be the best to your best ability. ___17___ They tell the truth about you, which may put you in an awkward position. But you have to learn to accept you’re not perfect and will make mistakes. You should feel fortunate that your peer tutor is recognizing your mistakes and giving you a chance to repair them.
___18___
Every tutor has a different learning and teaching style. If a tutor teaches you how to solve a math problem in a way that makes sense to you, but is also different from what you have learned in class, you will have to use that method because it works for you. If a tutor revises your paper and gives you advice, you will find your work in the future to change completely. Change is good. It is by no means something to be afraid of.
Push you in time
Since we are human, it’s not unusual for us to be lazy sometimes. ___19___ However, if a tutor notices that you have been inactive, don’t be surprised if they call you out on it. Your tutor wants you to do the great things that you are capable of.
Help you improve
Last but not least, expect to improve. Peer tutoring can be difficult, but finally the goal is for you to improve as a student in various areas. Once you practice peer tutoring at school, you will notice a great change in your grades and your learning ability. ___20___
A. Give you a chance to change
B. Work out the best method for you
C. Of course, it’s nothing to be ashamed of.
D. So I think that’s really worth your efforts.
E. Peer tutors are anxious to push you in study.

As we grow up, it becomes natural for people around us to lose contact with the hobbies that once were dominant in their lives. While it’s painful to accept this, the new reality becomes normal for most of us as we face new academic, adult and job responsibilities.
I’ve been dancing since I was four and I plan to continue dancing in college. However, I’ve always feared that dancing will affect my study and eventually become a brilliant memory of my childhood. After learning about Sommer Gentry’s story, I had an answer.
Sommer Gentry, previously a professor of mathematics at the United States Naval Academy and a coach at the Naval Academy’s Swing Dance Club, is currently a teacher at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Gentry and her husband also started a swing dance community to introduce non-dancers to swing dance.
Through teaching, Gentry was inspired to view dancing from an engineering point of view. She said, “I realized it is an engineering question: how do you dance well with someone? It’d be great to give people mathematical and engineering proofs that they have to dance the way I say.” Gentry investigated the complex haptic (触觉的) communication behind the moves in swing dance and showed that two persons could move in coordination (协调) with pure haptic communication, She entered an exciting area of research which is about engineering, psychology and human motor control.
It’s incredibly inspiring that Gentry was able to intertwine her academic work with her passion for dancing. Gentry said, “It means that even when I’m dancing outside, I’m thinking about my research project.”
Gentry found that digging into her academic interest does not mean letting go of her other non-academic ones. Instead, she found a way to include both in her professional life. Just like me, Gentry is a mathematician and dancer, thus, her story resonates (引起共鸣) strongly with me, and I want to be like her in the future.
4. What did the author think of dancing before learning of Gentry’s story?
A. It was too challenging for her B. It’d gradually disappear from her life.
C. It’d help develop her sense of responsibility. D. It brought her an unpleasant childhood memory.
5. What contributed to Gentry’s studying dancing from the angle of engineering?
A. Her interest in exploring engineering proofs. B. Her husband’s need to promote his dance club.
C. Her desire to be an expert in medicine and health. D. Her experience in teaching math and swing dance.
6. What does the underlined word “intertwine” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Hardly balance B. Carefully compare. C. Closely combine. D. Successfully challenge.
7. What does the last paragraph imply about the author?
A. She has decided to change her major. B. She will continue to pursue her hobby.
C. She used to be Sommer Gentry’s student. D. She originally had little interest in engineering.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. B
【解析】

Cows produce much methane (甲烷), the world’s second worst greenhouse gas, as they break down the grass. They are a large source of the greenhouse gases that are driving climate change. Now scientists have shown the pollution from cows can be reduced by adding a little seaweed (海藻) to their food.
Recently, the researchers from the University of California studied 21 cows on a farm for about five months. They taught the cows to get their food from inside a special hood (罩), which allowed the scientists to know the amount of the methane the cows were giving off. They used a small amount of seaweed, which they mixed with the cows’ food.
The results were surprisingly good. In some cases, the cows produced 82% less methane. The improvement depended on the kind of food the cows were given. Even the worst-polluting cows produced 33% less methane. Over the five months, the scientists didn’t see any signs that the cows’ stomachs were getting used to the seaweed and starting to produce more methane again. What’s more, the cows that were fed seaweed gained just as much weight as the other cows.
But there are still some big problems with the idea of feeding cows seaweed. For one thing, there’s not enough seaweed to feed all of the cows in the world. So farmers would have to figure out a way to grow lots of seaweed. A bigger problem is that for most of their lives, cows live in the fields, where they eat grass. That means there’s no chance to feed them seaweed every day.
Still, it’s very good news that something as simple as feeding cows seaweed can help reduce some of the pollution causing the climate crisis.
8. Why did the researchers carry out the study?
A. To improve the cows’ welfare.
B. To test the effects of the seaweed.
C. To measure the amount of methane produced by cows.
D. To discover healthier grass to reduce the pollution from cows.
9. What’s the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The results of the study.
B. The process of the research.
C. The content of the experiment.
D. The information of the subjects.
10. What is the biggest challenge in the researchers’ opinion?
A. Seaweed is pretty rare in the world.
B. It’s hard to mix seaweed with grass.
C. Cows fed with seaweed gained weight easily.
D. Cows can hardly have daily access to seaweed.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the findings?
A. Doubtful. B. Negative.
C. Unclear. D. Positive.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. D
【解析】

A broken heart. A sad ending to a love affair. That’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life. But no question, the experience can be hard to get over.
But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can arouse (激发,唤醒) the desire (渴望) to connect with others.
Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart. A recent study from Germany found the emotional influence of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy (共情), and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from concentration on yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.
Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously accept the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did.
These findings link with other studies that show accepting your sad situation emotionally leads to healing and growth beyond it. It seems unbelievable but it does make sense. For example, research from Cornell University, published in Psychological Science, found that accepting discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, encourages people to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It fuels hope.
12. What can we learn from paragraph 3 and paragraph 4?
A. Sad music can make people help others.
B. Sad music can make sad people feel better.
C. Sad music can make people believe in themselves.
D. Sad music can make people concentrate on themselves.
13. What does Churchill advise us to do when experiencing discomfort?
A. Listen to a sad song. B. Avoid unwise actions.
C. Find support from others. D. Face the discomfort directly.
14. How does the author develop this text?
A. By listing figures.
B. By giving directions.
C. By comparing examples.
D. By presenting research findings.
15. Which is the best title for the text?
A. How to Find Pathways through Heartaches
B. How We React to A Broken Heart Matters a Lot
C. What We Can Do to Overcome Discomfort in Life
D. Why Listening to Sad Music Heals Your Broken Heart
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是听悲伤音乐能够治愈悲伤的原因。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart.(悲伤的音乐可以帮助你从破碎的心中治愈和振作起来。)”可知,悲伤音乐能帮助人们从新振奋精神,结合第四段中的“Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood.(肯特大学的另一项实验发现,当人们感到悲伤时,听“美丽但悲伤”的音乐可以改善他们的情绪。)”可知,实验发现,在人经历悲伤的时候,听悲伤音乐能改善情绪,综上可知,悲伤音乐可以让人们感觉更好。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据尾段中的“As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It fuels hope.(正如丘吉尔的名言:“如果你正在经历地狱,那就继续前进。”这种不适会让你制定一个计划,一个新的行动。它点燃了希望。)”可知,丘吉尔认为,如果遭遇困难的时候,要继续前进,这种不适会让你制定计划,开始新的行动,由此可知,丘吉尔是要我们直面困难。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again.(但研究表明,心痛是有解决的途径的。听悲伤的音乐是主要的。它可以帮助你重新感受到生活的快乐和希望。)”、第三段中的“A recent study from Germany found the emotional influence of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy (共情), and a desire for positive connection with others.(德国最近的一项研究发现,听悲伤的音乐对情绪的影响是一种同理心的唤起,以及与他人建立积极联系的愿望。)”、第四段中的“Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood. (肯特大学的另一项实验发现,当人们感到悲伤时,听“美丽但悲伤”的音乐可以改善他们的情绪。)”以及尾段中的“These findings link with other studies that show accepting your sad situation emotionally leads to healing and growth beyond it. It seems unbelievable but it does make sense.(这些发现与其他研究相联系,这些研究表明,从情感上接受你的悲伤处境会导致愈合和成长。这看起来难以置信,但确实有道理。)”可知,全文中分别介绍了几项不同的研究,并对这些研究进行了分析,这些研究都证明了听悲伤音乐有助于改善人们的情绪,由此可知,作者是通过介绍研究结果展开的。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“A broken heart. A sad ending to a love affair. That’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life. But no question, the experience can be hard to get over.(破碎的心。一段恋情的悲惨结局。这是我们大多数人都经历过的,或者可能会经历的。毕竟,这是人类生活的一部分。但毫无疑问,这种经历很难忘记。)”可知,本文通过陈述生活中的客观情况,引出本文的话题,结合下文中的“But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can arouse (激发,唤醒) the desire (渴望) to connect with others. (但研究表明,心痛是有解决途径的。听悲伤的音乐是主要的。它可以帮助你重新感受到生活的快乐和希望。它能唤起与他人联系的欲望。)”可知,心痛的解决途径之一就是听悲伤音乐,进而在下文中列举多个研究发现听悲伤音乐有助于改善人们的情绪,并对这些研究结果进行了分析,由此可知,本文介绍了听悲伤音乐能治愈悲伤的原因,所以本文的标题为“为什么听悲伤音乐能治愈悲伤”与本文内容一致,且概括了本文的主题。故选D项。

Recognize your mistakes
This will probably be the most uncomfortable part, but peer tutors simply want you to be the best to your best ability. ___17___ They tell the truth about you, which may put you in an awkward position. But you have to learn to accept you’re not perfect and will make mistakes. You should feel fortunate that your peer tutor is recognizing your mistakes and giving you a chance to repair them.
___18___
Every tutor has a different learning and teaching style. If a tutor teaches you how to solve a math problem in a way that makes sense to you, but is also different from what you have learned in class, you will have to use that method because it works for you. If a tutor revises your paper and gives you advice, you will find your work in the future to change completely. Change is good. It is by no means something to be afraid of.
Push you in time
Since we are human, it’s not unusual for us to be lazy sometimes. ___19___ However, if a tutor notices that you have been inactive, don’t be surprised if they call you out on it. Your tutor wants you to do the great things that you are capable of.
Help you improve
Last but not least, expect to improve. Peer tutoring can be difficult, but finally the goal is for you to improve as a student in various areas. Once you practice peer tutoring at school, you will notice a great change in your grades and your learning ability. ___20___
A. Give you a chance to change
B. Work out the best method for you

(他们告诉你真相,这可能会让你陷入尴尬的境地。但你必须学会接受自己并不完美,会犯错误)”可知,同伴指导会让我们认识到自己的不完美,自己也会犯错误。所以空处表明我们在承认自己犯错误的时候可能很尴尬,但是他们一定会诚实地告知我们这一点,让我们学会去承认自己的不完美。G项“他们确保这一点的唯一方法是对你完全诚实。”符合语境。故选G。
【18题详解】
根据下文“ If a tutor teaches you how to solve a math problem in a way that makes sense to you, but is also different from what you have learned in class, you will have to use that method because it works for you. If a tutor revises your paper and gives you advice, you will find your work in the future to change completely. Change is good. It is by no means something to be afraid of. (如果一位导师教你如何用一种对你有意义的方式解决一道数学题,但又与你在课堂上学到的不同,你就必须使用这种方法,因为它对你有效。如果一位导师修改你的论文并给你建议,你会发现你的工作在未来会完全改变。改变是好的。这绝不是什么可怕的事情)”可知,本段主要说明如果同伴给我们的建议是有用的,那我们一定要改变自己,去接纳他们的意见。A项“给你一个改变的机会。”适合作本段的主旨大意句。文中的“Change”是标题中“Change”的复现。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Since we are human, it’s not unusual for us to be lazy sometimes. (既然我们是人,我们有时懒惰并不罕见)”以及下文“However, if a tutor notices that you have been inactive, don’t be surprised if they call you out on it. (然而,如果一位导师注意到你一直不活跃,如果他们叫你出来,不要感到惊讶)”可知,空处需要顺接前面的表述,即我们每个人都有懒惰的时间,也要承接下文,表明我们也需要克服这个问题。C项“当然,这没什么好羞愧的。”符合语境,能够承上启下。C项中的this指代前文懒惰这件事。故选C。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Once you practice peer tutoring at school, you will notice a great change in your grades and your learning ability. (一旦你在学校里练习了同伴辅导,你就会发现你的成绩和学习能力发生了很大的变化)”可知,同伴指导帮助我们解决了学习中的很多问题。所以空处需要表明同伴指导是有效的。D项“所以我认为这真的值得你的努力。”符合语境,为前一句表述的结果。故选D。

【答案】description
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:那里的风景美得无法形容。beyond后用名词作宾语,describe的名词是description,beyond description是固定短语,意为“无法形容”,因此空格处是description。故填description。

51. 他在齐文化方面的渊博知识给我留下了深刻印象。

54. 我们期待着明天去探索我们的新校园。
