【答案】17. C 18. B 19. A 20. C
【解析】
One of Britain’s most famous modern writers is Harold Pinter. Born in 1930, Pinter wrote 29 plays for the theatre and 27 screenplays for the cinema, as well as many radio and television plays. One of his best-known plays is The Birthday Party. The Birthday Party, the first full-length play Pinter wrote, had its world premiere at the Arts Theatre, in Cambridge, England, on the 28th of April 1958. Although the play was initially well received, when it opened in London a few weeks later on the 19th of May, it was a commercial and critical failure, closing after only eight performances. However, a few days later, one of the country’s most famous critics wrote extremely positively about the play in a Sunday newspaper, helping to make it one of the most famous plays ever.
The Birthday Party is about Stanley Webber, a piano player in his 30s, who lives in an English seaside town, not too far from London. Two strangers, Goldberg and McCann, arrive on his birthday, turning his birthday party into a nightmare. Harold Pinter presented a special anniversary performance of the play at London’s Lyric Theatre on the 19th of May 2008, exactly 50 years after its London Premiere. Pinter died later the same year on the 24th of December.

Every year around the world, humans waste an estimated 1.3 billion tons of food.This happens even though many people go hungry. So some people have made it their life's work claiming food before it goes to waste and then giving it to people who are hungry.
One of those people is Brett Myers. In 2011, Myers started Nourish Now, a food recovery and food bank in the U.S. state of Maryland. This non-profit organization collects food and then gives it to the poor and organizations that support them.
“Nourish Now is a food recovery-based food bank that recovers food from restaurants, catering companies, grocery stores, hotels, farms and more. And then donates that food directly to families in need, kids in need at local schools.”
Each month, it recovers more than 20,000 kilograms of food and serves 700 needy families, schools and social organizations. Every day, staff and volunteers repackage the donations and distribute them to recipients.
A woman named Rhoda is one of the recipients. She describes the quality of the food delivered to her family by Nourish Now. “It consists of fresh food, fruits and vegetables. You will get bread. Sometimes you get dairy products such as yogurt or milk. And you will get some meat items also. And if you get lucky you might get cooked food, or prepared salads, and stuff like that.”
The supplies can feed a family for five days. Each recipient is able to receive food every 30 days. And the packages are made to fit the dietary needs of each family.
Besides families, the organization also donates small meals called snacks to several nearby schools and social organizations.
Nourish Now has grown considerably since it opened Brenda is one of them. Part of her job as a volunteer is to make sure that none of the food goes to waste.
“In the morning, I make sure that all the things that came late yesterday, get put away so that we use that last, and we used the things that came the day before first, so that we’re always giving fresh food and we're not throwing out anything.”
24. What do we know about Nourish Now?
A. It donates money to the poor.
B. It benefits from collecting food.
C. It gets food from many places.
D. It distributes food only to the poor.
25. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Nourish Now B. The poor. C. Food banks. D. Organizations.
26. What does the author want to clarify with the example Rhoda in Paragraph 5?
A. The recovered food is fresh and rich.
B. She isn’t satisfied with the food supplied.
C. Eating better can keep people healthier.
D. She can get food donations every five days.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. People Should Take Care of the Weak
B. The Poor Are Suffering from Starvation
C. Nourish Now Calls on People to Save Food
D. Group Uses Leftover Food to Feed the Hungry
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D

Lawrence Ferlinghetti, the poet, publisher, painter, social activist and bookstore owner, has been San Francisco’s honored poet. He turns 100 this month, and the city is making preparations to celebrate him in style. Readings and performances and an open house will take place at City Lights, the sacred bookstore he co-founded in 1953.
On March 24, 1919, Lawrence Ferlinghetti was born in Yonkers, New York. After spending his early childhood in France, he received his BA from the University of North Carolina, an MA from Columbia University, and a PhD from the Sorbonne.
He is the author of more than thirty books of poetry, including Poetry as Insurgent Art; A Coney Island of the Mind. He has translated the works of a number of poets, including Nicanor Parra, Jacques Prevert, and Pier Paolo Pasolini. In addition to poetry, he is also the author of more than eight plays and three novels, including Little Boy: A Novel, Love in the Days of Rage and Her.
In 1953, Ferlinghetti and Peter Martin opened the City Lights bookstore in San Francisco, California. It became a nerve center for the Beats and other writers. Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and other writers from that era were Easterners who dropped into San Francisco for a spell. In 2001 it was made an official historic landmark. Now City Lights is almost certainly the best bookstore in the United States. It’s filled with serious world literature of all kinds.
If City Lights is a San Francisco institution, Ferlinghetti himself is as much of one. He has loomed over the city’s literary life. As a poet, he’s never been a critical favorite. But his flexible and plain-spoken and often powerful work — he has published more than 50 volumes — has found a wide audience. His collection “A Coney Island of the Mind” has sold more than 1 million copies, making it one of the best-selling American poetry books ever published.
28. What can we learn about Ferlinghetti from Paragraph 2?
A. He had a happy childhood.
B. He received normal education.
C. He had a gift for writing novels.
D. He had written lots of poetry.
29. Which of the following best describes Ferlinghetti according to Paragraph 3?
A. Flexible. B. Optimistic. C. Outspoken. D. Productive.
30. Why is City Lights famous?
A. Because it is a nerve center for the youth.
B. Because its collections have a long history.
C. Because it is an official historic landmark.
D. Because it has many modern world literature.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To speak highly of a great poet.
B. To introduce some English poetry.
C. To promote values of City Lights.
D. To celebrate the birthday of Ferlinghetti.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. A

A full moon is appearing—and it will have a big impact on animals, especially those in the ocean.
Recent studies show that many types of animals have biological clocks finely tuned to the cycles of the moon, which drives interesting and sometimes strange patterns of behavior.
Besides discovering hidden aspects of animal life, the research also has intention of better understanding the circadian clocks(生物钟)present in all animals, including humans.
The first circadian clocks evolved in the oceans, so studying them in ocean animals can tell us a lot about how they evolved and how they work and interact with each other, explains Kim Last, a researcher at the Scottish Association for Marine Science.
Oysters(牡蛎), which open their shells to eat and spawn, also have a lunar rhythm, a new study shows.
In a recent experiment, French researchers carefully monitored how widely a dozen oysters opened their shells during a 3.5-month period. The team used a high-tech device that quantified the valve opening every two seconds, as described in a paper published in the journal Biology Letters.
They found that two types of oysters in Arcachon Bay in southwestern France were significantly more open during new moons and more closed when the moon was full. In addition, the oysters could tell the difference between the first quarter moon and the third quarter moon, and were significantly more open (by nearly 20 percent) at the latter.
It’s unknown why the oysters do this, though it could be due to more algae(海藻) or other food being available during the new moon and as the year progresses, says study leader Damien Tran, a researcher at the University of Bordeaux.
The lunar cycle could influence food availability by its impact on the tides and thus the ocean’s currents. When the moon is full or new, it is directly in line with Earth and the sun, forcing a strong pull on the ocean and thus causing more pronounced tides, explains David Wilcockson, a ocean biologist at Aberystwyth University in Wales who wasn’t part of the study.
32. Where did the earliest life forms probably evolve?
A. In the tides. B. In the oysters.
C. In the moon. D. In the ocean.
33. Based on the observations, what is the likely order of when the oysters are most open and most closed?
①The new moon; ②The full moon;
③The first quarter; ④The third quarter
A. ①-②-③-④ B. ①-②-④-③
C. ①-④-③-② D. ①-③-④-②
34. What is it that leads to the huge tides?
A. A strong pull. B. A straight line.
C. The lunar cycle. D. The ocean’s current.
35. Why are oysters mentioned as an example?
A. To explain why they open their shells.
B. To further stress the moon’s impact on animals.
C. To show the difficulty of science experiments.
D. To introduce how the high-tech device is used in experiments.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了满月正在出现,它将对动物,尤其是海洋动物产生巨大的影响。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在第四段The first circadian clocks evolved in the oceans, so studying them in ocean animals can tell us a lot about how they evolved and how they work and interact with each other, explains Kim Last, a researcher at the Scottish Association for Marine Science.(苏格兰海洋科学协会的研究员金·拉斯特解释说,最早的生物钟是在海洋中进化而来的,所以在海洋动物身上研究生物钟可以告诉我们很多关于它们是如何进化的,以及它们是如何工作和相互作用的。)由此可知,最早的生命形式可能是在海洋里进化而来的,故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在倒数第三段They found that two types of oysters in Arcachon Bay in southwestern France were significantly more open during new moons and more closed when the moon was full. In addition, the oysters could tell the difference between the first quarter moon and the third quarter moon, and were significantly more open (by nearly 20 percent) at the latter.(他们发现,在法国西南部的阿卡松湾,两种牡蛎在新月期间明显更开放,而在满月时则更封闭。此外,牡蛎可以分辨出第一季度的月亮和第三季度的月亮,而在第三季度的月亮,牡蛎明显更开放(近20%)。)由此可知,根据观察,牡蛎最开放和最封闭的可能顺序是:新月——四分之三月——四分之一月——满月,故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在最后一段When the moon is full or new, it is directly in line with Earth and the sun, forcing a strong pull on the ocean and thus causing more pronounced tides(当月亮是圆的或新的时候,它直接与地球和太阳在一条直线上,迫使海洋产生强大的拉力,从而引起更明显的潮汐)由此可知,强大的拉力导致了巨大的潮汐,故选A。

推理判断题。答案定位在第一段A full moon is appearing—and it will have a big impact on animals, especially those in the ocean.(满月正在出现,它将对动物,尤其是海洋动物产生巨大的影响。)由此推断出,作者以牡蛎为例,是为了进一步强调月球对动物的影响,故选B。
【点睛】细节理解题的解题思路:
细节理解题就是我们常见的wh-题,它们大多是根据文章中的具体信息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述等进行提问的。抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键,也是做好其它类型问题的基础。该题型几乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息,或是其变体。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节,做这类题一般采用寻读法,即先读题,然后带着问题快速阅读短文,找出与问题和选项有关的词语或句子,再对相关部分进行分析对比,找出答案。例如小题3,答案定位在最后一段When the moon is full or new, it is directly in line with Earth and the sun, forcing a strong pull on the ocean and thus causing more pronounced tides(当月亮是圆的或新的时候,它直接与地球和太阳在一条直线上,迫使海洋产生强大的拉力,从而引起更明显的潮汐)由此可知,强大的拉力导致了巨大的潮汐,故选A。

Well, some people are doing something about it. They are plogging! “Plogging” ____62____(begin) in Sweden. The name combines the Swedish word “plocka”, ____63____ means to pick up, and the word “jogging” meaning to run slowly.
A Swedish man ____64____(name) Erik Ahlström, started the movement in 2016. On the World Environment Day website, he says that he moved to Stockholma from a small community in ____65____(north)Sweden. Each day he would ride his bike to work.

Plogging, by that term, may have ____67____(office)begun in Sweden. ____68____many people who exercise outdoors have been doing this for years. Take Jeff Horowitz, for example. He is a personal ____69____ (train) in Washington, D.C. He says that he would often pick up trash ____70____ (run) outside.

【70题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他说他在外面跑步时,经常捡垃圾。run的逻辑主语是he,它们之间是主动关系,用现在分词作时间状语,所以填running。

【答案】17. C 18. B 19. A 20. C
【解析】
One of Britain’s most famous modern writers is Harold Pinter. Born in 1930, Pinter wrote 29 plays for the theatre and 27 screenplays for the cinema, as well as many radio and television plays. One of his best-known plays is The Birthday Party. The Birthday Party, the first full-length play Pinter wrote, had its world premiere at the Arts Theatre, in Cambridge, England, on the 28th of April 1958. Although the play was initially well received, when it opened in London a few weeks later on the 19th of May, it was a commercial and critical failure, closing after only eight performances. However, a few days later, one of the country’s most famous critics wrote extremely positively about the play in a Sunday newspaper, helping to make it one of the most famous plays ever.
The Birthday Party is about Stanley Webber, a piano player in his 30s, who lives in an English seaside town, not too far from London. Two strangers, Goldberg and McCann, arrive on his birthday, turning his birthday party into a nightmare. Harold Pinter presented a special anniversary performance of the play at London’s Lyric Theatre on the 19th of May 2008, exactly 50 years after its London Premiere. Pinter died later the same year on the 24th of December.

Every year around the world, humans waste an estimated 1.3 billion tons of food.This happens even though many people go hungry. So some people have made it their life's work claiming food before it goes to waste and then giving it to people who are hungry.
One of those people is Brett Myers. In 2011, Myers started Nourish Now, a food recovery and food bank in the U.S. state of Maryland. This non-profit organization collects food and then gives it to the poor and organizations that support them.
“Nourish Now is a food recovery-based food bank that recovers food from restaurants, catering companies, grocery stores, hotels, farms and more. And then donates that food directly to families in need, kids in need at local schools.”
Each month, it recovers more than 20,000 kilograms of food and serves 700 needy families, schools and social organizations. Every day, staff and volunteers repackage the donations and distribute them to recipients.
A woman named Rhoda is one of the recipients. She describes the quality of the food delivered to her family by Nourish Now. “It consists of fresh food, fruits and vegetables. You will get bread. Sometimes you get dairy products such as yogurt or milk. And you will get some meat items also. And if you get lucky you might get cooked food, or prepared salads, and stuff like that.”
The supplies can feed a family for five days. Each recipient is able to receive food every 30 days. And the packages are made to fit the dietary needs of each family.
Besides families, the organization also donates small meals called snacks to several nearby schools and social organizations.
Nourish Now has grown considerably since it opened Brenda is one of them. Part of her job as a volunteer is to make sure that none of the food goes to waste.
“In the morning, I make sure that all the things that came late yesterday, get put away so that we use that last, and we used the things that came the day before first, so that we’re always giving fresh food and we're not throwing out anything.”
24. What do we know about Nourish Now?
A. It donates money to the poor.
B. It benefits from collecting food.
C. It gets food from many places.
D. It distributes food only to the poor.
25. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Nourish Now B. The poor. C. Food banks. D. Organizations.
26. What does the author want to clarify with the example Rhoda in Paragraph 5?
A. The recovered food is fresh and rich.
B. She isn’t satisfied with the food supplied.
C. Eating better can keep people healthier.
D. She can get food donations every five days.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. People Should Take Care of the Weak
B. The Poor Are Suffering from Starvation
C. Nourish Now Calls on People to Save Food
D. Group Uses Leftover Food to Feed the Hungry
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D

Lawrence Ferlinghetti, the poet, publisher, painter, social activist and bookstore owner, has been San Francisco’s honored poet. He turns 100 this month, and the city is making preparations to celebrate him in style. Readings and performances and an open house will take place at City Lights, the sacred bookstore he co-founded in 1953.
On March 24, 1919, Lawrence Ferlinghetti was born in Yonkers, New York. After spending his early childhood in France, he received his BA from the University of North Carolina, an MA from Columbia University, and a PhD from the Sorbonne.
He is the author of more than thirty books of poetry, including Poetry as Insurgent Art; A Coney Island of the Mind. He has translated the works of a number of poets, including Nicanor Parra, Jacques Prevert, and Pier Paolo Pasolini. In addition to poetry, he is also the author of more than eight plays and three novels, including Little Boy: A Novel, Love in the Days of Rage and Her.
In 1953, Ferlinghetti and Peter Martin opened the City Lights bookstore in San Francisco, California. It became a nerve center for the Beats and other writers. Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and other writers from that era were Easterners who dropped into San Francisco for a spell. In 2001 it was made an official historic landmark. Now City Lights is almost certainly the best bookstore in the United States. It’s filled with serious world literature of all kinds.
If City Lights is a San Francisco institution, Ferlinghetti himself is as much of one. He has loomed over the city’s literary life. As a poet, he’s never been a critical favorite. But his flexible and plain-spoken and often powerful work — he has published more than 50 volumes — has found a wide audience. His collection “A Coney Island of the Mind” has sold more than 1 million copies, making it one of the best-selling American poetry books ever published.
28. What can we learn about Ferlinghetti from Paragraph 2?
A. He had a happy childhood.
B. He received normal education.
C. He had a gift for writing novels.
D. He had written lots of poetry.
29. Which of the following best describes Ferlinghetti according to Paragraph 3?
A. Flexible. B. Optimistic. C. Outspoken. D. Productive.
30. Why is City Lights famous?
A. Because it is a nerve center for the youth.
B. Because its collections have a long history.
C. Because it is an official historic landmark.
D. Because it has many modern world literature.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To speak highly of a great poet.
B. To introduce some English poetry.
C. To promote values of City Lights.
D. To celebrate the birthday of Ferlinghetti.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. A

D
A full moon is appearing—and it will have a big impact on animals, especially those in the ocean.
Recent studies show that many types of animals have biological clocks finely tuned to the cycles of the moon, which drives interesting and sometimes strange patterns of behavior.
Besides discovering hidden aspects of animal life, the research also has intention of better understanding the circadian clocks(生物钟)present in all animals, including humans.
The first circadian clocks evolved in the oceans, so studying them in ocean animals can tell us a lot about how they evolved and how they work and interact with each other, explains Kim Last, a researcher at the Scottish Association for Marine Science.
Oysters(牡蛎), which open their shells to eat and spawn, also have a lunar rhythm, a new study shows.
In a recent experiment, French researchers carefully monitored how widely a dozen oysters opened their shells during a 3.5-month period. The team used a high-tech device that quantified the valve opening every two seconds, as described in a paper published in the journal Biology Letters.
They found that two types of oysters in Arcachon Bay in southwestern France were significantly more open during new moons and more closed when the moon was full. In addition, the oysters could tell the difference between the first quarter moon and the third quarter moon, and were significantly more open (by nearly 20 percent) at the latter.
It’s unknown why the oysters do this, though it could be due to more algae(海藻) or other food being available during the new moon and as the year progresses, says study leader Damien Tran, a researcher at the University of Bordeaux.
The lunar cycle could influence food availability by its impact on the tides and thus the ocean’s currents. When the moon is full or new, it is directly in line with Earth and the sun, forcing a strong pull on the ocean and thus causing more pronounced tides, explains David Wilcockson, a ocean biologist at Aberystwyth University in Wales who wasn’t part of the study.
32. Where did the earliest life forms probably evolve?
A. In the tides. B. In the oysters.
C. In the moon. D. In the ocean.
33. Based on the observations, what is the likely order of when the oysters are most open and most closed?
①The new moon; ②The full moon;
③The first quarter; ④The third quarter
A. ①-②-③-④ B. ①-②-④-③
C. ①-④-③-② D. ①-③-④-②
34. What is it that leads to the huge tides?
A. A strong pull. B. A straight line.
C. The lunar cycle. D. The ocean’s current.
35. Why are oysters mentioned as an example?
A. To explain why they open their shells.
B. To further stress the moon’s impact on animals.
C. To show the difficulty of science experiments.
D. To introduce how the high-tech device is used in experiments.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了满月正在出现,它将对动物,尤其是海洋动物产生巨大的影响。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在第四段The first circadian clocks evolved in the oceans, so studying them in ocean animals can tell us a lot about how they evolved and how they work and interact with each other, explains Kim Last, a researcher at the Scottish Association for Marine Science.(苏格兰海洋科学协会的研究员金·拉斯特解释说,最早的生物钟是在海洋中进化而来的,所以在海洋动物身上研究生物钟可以告诉我们很多关于它们是如何进化的,以及它们是如何工作和相互作用的。)由此可知,最早的生命形式可能是在海洋里进化而来的,故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在倒数第三段They found that two types of oysters in Arcachon Bay in southwestern France were significantly more open during new moons and more closed when the moon was full. In addition, the oysters could tell the difference between the first quarter moon and the third quarter moon, and were significantly more open (by nearly 20 percent) at the latter.(他们发现,在法国西南部的阿卡松湾,两种牡蛎在新月期间明显更开放,而在满月时则更封闭。此外,牡蛎可以分辨出第一季度的月亮和第三季度的月亮,而在第三季度的月亮,牡蛎明显更开放(近20%)。)由此可知,根据观察,牡蛎最开放和最封闭的可能顺序是:新月——四分之三月——四分之一月——满月,故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在最后一段When the moon is full or new, it is directly in line with Earth and the sun, forcing a strong pull on the ocean and thus causing more pronounced tides(当月亮是圆的或新的时候,它直接与地球和太阳在一条直线上,迫使海洋产生强大的拉力,从而引起更明显的潮汐)由此可知,强大的拉力导致了巨大的潮汐,故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。答案定位在第一段A full moon is appearing—and it will have a big impact on animals, especially those in the ocean.(满月正在出现,它将对动物,尤其是海洋动物产生巨大的影响。)由此推断出,作者以牡蛎为例,是为了进一步强调月球对动物的影响,故选B。
【点睛】细节理解题的解题思路:
细节理解题就是我们常见的wh-题,它们大多是根据文章中的具体信息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述等进行提问的。抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键,也是做好其它类型问题的基础。该题型几乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息,或是其变体。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节,做这类题一般采用寻读法,即先读题,然后带着问题快速阅读短文,找出与问题和选项有关的词语或句子,再对相关部分进行分析对比,找出答案。例如小题3,答案定位在最后一段When the moon is full or new, it is directly in line with Earth and the sun, forcing a strong pull on the ocean and thus causing more pronounced tides(当月亮是圆的或新的时候,它直接与地球和太阳在一条直线上,迫使海洋产生强大的拉力,从而引起更明显的潮汐)由此可知,强大的拉力导致了巨大的潮汐,故选A。

A Swedish man ____64____(name) Erik Ahlström, started the movement in 2016.
