Clara Barton, born on Christmas in 1821, is widely known as one of the most honored women in American history. She began teaching school when most teachers were men at that time. Later, she became one of the first women ever to be employed by the government.
Her career in helping the sick began when her brother David became her first patient. He fell down from the roof of a house when Clara was just 11 years old. She stayed by his side and looked after him for three years, learning how to give him all his medicines.
When the Civil War began in 1861, she immediately recognized that the poorly equipped soldiers needed help. Instead of waiting for others to step in, Clara collected necessary things on her own, asked the public for donations and learned how to store and distribute them to soldiers. She also read to the soldiers and wrote letters for them.
After the Battle of Cedar Mountain in northern Virginia in 1862, Clara arrived at a field hospital at midnight with a vehicle full of supplies. A doctor named Paul Smith at that hospital would later write, “I thought heaven had sent out an angel that night — her assistance arrived at exactly the right time.”
In 1869, Clara went to Europe and learned about the International Committee of the Red Cross. Upon her return to the United States, she successfully founded the American Red Cross. She led the organization for the next 23 years. Her last field mission (使命) as president of the American Red Cross was to help the victims of the 1900 Galveston hurricane. She did not retire (退休) from the American Red Cross until she was 83. True to her nature, Clara always went to where the need was the greatest.
Today, the American Red Cross continues the mission Clara started more than 100 years ago. With the help of thousands of volunteers, the American Red Cross provides relief to victims of disasters, as well as helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to all sorts of emergencies.
4. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that Clara Barton was .
A. honest B. caring
C. talented D. modest
5. After the Civil War broke out, Clara Barton .
A. joined the army and fought bravely B. went to Europe for further study
C. continued to work as a teacher D. did a lot to help soldiers
6. Seeing Clara Barton’s arrival, Dr. Smith must have felt .
A. excited and grateful B. proud and joyful
C. shy and nervous D. sad and sorry
7. What is mainly described in Paragraph 5?

B. The importance of voluntary donations.

【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。克拉拉·巴顿是美国历史上最受人尊敬的女性之一。她是第一批女教师之一，是被政府雇佣第一批女性之一。她有爱心，照顾生病的弟弟，帮助内战中的士兵，还成立了美国红十字会。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的She stayed by his side and looked after him for three years, learning how to give him all his medicines.(她在他身边照顾了他三年，学习如何给他所有的药物)可知，Clara Barton精心地照顾生病的弟弟。由此可知，Clara Barton是一个很体贴的人。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段When the Civil War began in 1861, she immediately recognized that the poorly equipped soldiers needed help. Instead of waiting for others to step in, Clara collected necessary things on her own, asked the public for donations and learned how to store and distribute them to soldiers. She also read to the soldiers and wrote letters for them. (当1861年内战开始时，她立刻意识到装备简陋的士兵需要帮助。克拉拉没有等别人来帮忙，而是自己收集了一些必要的东西，向公众募捐，并学会了如何储存和分发给士兵。她还为士兵们朗读和写信)可知，内战爆发后，克拉拉·巴顿为帮助士兵做了很多事情。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中A doctor named Paul Smith at that hospital would later write, “I thought heaven had sent out an angel that night — her assistance arrived at exactly the right time.”(那家医院的一位名叫保罗·史密斯的医生后来写道：“我以为那天晚上上帝派了一位天使来——她的帮助来得正是时候。”) 可推知，Dr. Smith对Clara Barton的到来非常感动和感激，她像天使一样给了他们及时的帮助。故选A。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段中的In 1869, Clara went to Europe and learned about the International Committee of the Red Cross. Upon her return to the United States, she successfully founded the American Red Cross.( 1869年，克拉拉去了欧洲，了解了红十字国际委员会。回到美国后，她成功地建立了美国红十字会)以及她所做的努力可知，第五段主要讲述了Clara成立并领导美国红十字会的故事。故选C。
C
Few people can refuse a delicious ice cream, especially on a hot day. The only thing that stops the fun is that the treat is hard to enjoy slowly, ending up with a sticky, melted mess. Now, researchers from Colombia’s Pontifical Bolivarian University may have found an unlikely thing to help solve this age-old problem — a kind of fibre from banana plant waste.
Bananas, as you probably know, grow in groups on a tree-like plant. Each group is connected to a central rachis (叶轴), which is thrown once the fruit has been gathered. The team, which was led by Dr. Robin Zuluaga Gallego, began by abstracting /drawing out cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) from the powdered rachis. The tasteless fiber, thousands of times smaller than the width of a human hair, was then added to 100 grams of ice cream mix.
With the right amount of CNFs mixed in, the dessert lasted longer in its frozen state than the traditional ice cream, extending the amount of time that the treat can be enjoyed. What was even more exciting was that the fibre increased the stickiness of the low-fat ice cream to levels higher than the full-fat one. Since this is what determines the frozen treat’s creaminess and taste, CNFs could help create the healthier ice cream without influencing the taste of it.
The researchers, who presented their findings at the American Chemical Society( ACS) meeting in New Orleans in March, 2018, next plan to study how different types of fat, such as coconut oil, influence the behaviour of CNFs in other frozen treats.
The Colombian researchers are not the only ones working on creating a slower-melting ice cream. In 2015, scientists at the University of Dundee in Scotland found that a natural protein called BsIA was very effective in keeping the treat frozen for longer periods of time. With both teams fighting to be the first to get to the market, the future of everyone’s favorite dessert certainly looks bright.
8. What prevents people enjoying an ice cream slowly?
A. A kind of fibre from bananas.
B. The ice cream’s quick melting.
C. The ice cream’s stickiness.
D. The fat in the ice cream.
9. Why were CNFs added to ice cream mix?
A. To improve its taste.
B. To increase its stickiness.
C. To reduce its fat content.
D. To make it melt more slowly.
10. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The ice cream. B. The fiber.
C. The fat. D. The stickiness.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. BsIA is popular in the market.
B. CNFs are more useful and expensive than BsIA.
C. Ice creams with CNFs have been on sale at the market.
D. Slowly enjoying an ice cream will soon become a reality.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。作者围绕当代人为了防止冰淇淋融化必须很快吃完冰淇淋的现象展开话题，提出由研究者研究出一种添加物质可以让冰淇淋放缓融化，不影响口感的同时还能减少脂肪。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段“The only thing that stops the fun is that the treat is hard to enjoy slowly, ending up with a sticky, melted mess.”唯一阻止人们吃冰淇淋的快乐就是人们很难去慢慢享受冰淇淋，慢慢吃冰淇淋导致的结果就是手上沾满了黏稠的融化了的冰淇淋。所以这里人们为不能缓慢地吃冰淇淋的原因是冰淇淋太容易化了。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段“With the right amount of CNFs mixed in, the dessert lasted longer in its frozen state than the traditional ice cream,”混合适当数量的CNFs,甜品冰冻的状态跟传统的冰淇淋相比就能维持地更久。所以这里加CNFs的原因是为了让冰淇淋融化地更加缓慢。故选D项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。由第三段“Since this is what determines the frozen treat’s creaminess and taste, CNFs could help create the healthier ice cream without influencing the taste of it.”因为这决定冰淇淋的奶油的数量和冰淇淋的味道，而CNFs可以帮助生产出更健康的冰淇淋，而且不影响它的口感。所以这里it指的是冰淇淋。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段“The Colombian researchers are not the only ones working on creating a slower-melting ice cream. In 2015, scientists at the University of Dundee in Scotland found that a natural protein called BsIA was very effective in keeping the treat frozen for longer periods of time.”哥伦比亚的研究人员并不是唯一致力于制造一种融化速度较慢的冰淇淋的人。2015年，苏格兰邓迪大学的科学家们发现，一种叫做BsIA的天然蛋白质能有效地让巧克力保持更长时间的冷冻。由此推知，人们缓慢吃冰淇淋将会成为一个事实。故选D。
【点睛】细节理解题，需要根据细节来进行推断理解。如第2小题，由第三段“With the right amount of CNFs mixed in, the dessert lasted longer in its frozen state than the traditional ice cream,”混合适当数量的CNFs,甜品冰冻的状态跟传统的冰淇淋相比就能维持地更久。所以这里加CNFs的原因是为了让冰淇淋融化地更加缓慢。故选D项。

Daniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it’s important to distinguish television’s influences on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds.
One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images (影像). Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.
Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn’t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents’ educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading. “A child’s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads.” Anderson says.
Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.
For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.
12. By watching TV, children learn _________.
A. images through words B. more than explicit meanings
C. more about images than words D. little about people’s psychology
13. Which of the following is most related to children’s reading ability?
A. Radio-listening B. Television-watching
C. Parents’ reading list D. Parents’ educational background
14. Anderson believed that _________.
A. the more a child watches TV, the smarter he is
B. the younger a child is, the more he watches TV
C. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TV
D. the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school
15. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To advise on the educational use of TV. B. To describe TV’s harmful effects on children.
C. To explain traditional views on TV influences. D. To present Anderson’s unconventional ideas.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了著名的心理学家丹尼尔·安德森认为，区分电视对孩子的影响和家庭对孩子的影响是很重要的，他提出了一些关于看电视的非传统思想。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see.（相反，他们从他们所看到的东西中学到显性和隐性的意义）可知通过看电视，孩子们学到的不仅仅是显性的意思。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段Things like parents’ educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading.（父母的教育背景对孩子阅读的影响更大）可知父母的教育背景与儿童的阅读能力最相关。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.（安德森说:“如果你年轻时很聪明，长大后就会少看电视。”然而，智商较低的人往往一辈子都看电视）可知安德森认为，一个孩子越聪明，他就越不可能沉迷于电视。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images（关于电视的一种传统观点是，它降低了孩子思考和理解世界的能力。看电视时，孩子们不仅仅是吸收文字和图像）和第三段Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability.（另一个反对电视的理由是它取代了作为一种娱乐形式的阅读。但安德森认为，看电视的时间长短与阅读能力无关）以及第四段Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it.（传统观点还认为，过度看电视会降低智商，影响学习成绩。但这里，安德森也指出，没有研究证明这一点）可推知这篇文章的主要目的是介绍安德森的非传统思想。故选D。

Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking.___16___Do you want to be a good public speaker? Here are some principles you must master.
People want to listen to someone who is interesting, relaxed and comfortable. Too often when you stand up to give a speech, you focus on the “public”at the expense of the “speaking. ” ___17___ Focus on the speaking. Talk directly to your audience, be yourself and make a connection.
Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes. Yet, the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking. People’s attention wanders constantly. In fact,most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker’s message. So, don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a truly serious one.___18___
Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker.___19___And like everything else in life, that takes practice. Remember, even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.
___20___It’s rare to hear someone say, “I wish that speaker had spoken longer. “On the other hand, you probably can’t count the times that you’ve thought, “I’m glad that talk is over. It seemed to go on forever! “So surprise your audience. Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated. It’s better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.
A. Do the opposite.
B. You want to be an effective public speaker.
C. You don’ t need to apologize for a minor slip.
D. When it comes to public speaking, less is usually more.
E. The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience
F. Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners
G. However, the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be.
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. C 19. B 20. D

【36题详解】
考查时态。句意：它能够被清理干净是难以想象的事情。根据“it could ever be cleaned up”可知，这里考查主句的一般过去式的谓语动词形式，it是形式主语，be动词用单数形式，that后面是真正的主语从句。故填was。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：这条河污染的如此严重以至于它实际上都可以直接着火燃烧了。根据句子结构和意思可知，这里考查副词修饰动词caught。故填actually。
【38题详解】

【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意：最后，辛苦的努力终于有了回报，并且现在河里的水比以前更干净了。根据句子结构和意思可知，空格后面有than ever，所以这里考查形容词的比较级结构。故填cleaner。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：也许，也许你留下了一个让你的家人抓狂的习惯。根据句子结构和意思可知，这里考查定语从句，先行词是habit，在从句中做主语，指物。故填that/which。
【43题详解】
考查形容词。句意：虽然有许多瞬间转变的故事，但是对我们大部分人来说，改变是一个渐渐的过程，并且要求许多的努力，就像清理一条被污染的河流一样。根据句子结构和意思可知，这里考查形容词做定语，修饰后面的名词stories，表示“令人吃惊的”意思。故填amazing。
【44题详解】

52. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整短文。
Once there was a girl named Vivian who was the only child of her father. Her father was a big and successful businessman who owned seven star restaurants. He did everything only for his daughter.
Vivian was sent to the best university abroad. Although she had everything, the only thing she never owned was respect of other people.
When Vivian came back after her graduation and her father asked her to join his company as an accountant, she was naturally not happy with that. She wanted to work in a higher post but her father wanted her to start as an ordinary girl.
“Dad, I studied in the most outstanding university abroad and got a better education than any of the employees who work under you. Still, you want me to work under them?" said Vivian unhappily.
Vivian's father looked at her with a smile on his face. Vivian was annoyed by her father's reaction but she agreed to work as an accountant in the end.
After some months, there was an emergency situation in the company.One of the restaurants was short of employees because of a sudden resignation (辞职），so they were short on people to do other chores around the place and cook food fast. Vivian's father asked her to help that restaurant with him and the other employees.
When she entered the restaurant, she was hit by the air of tension around the employees. Everybody was busy doing something or other and there was a mess around the restaurant. When she went in the back of the kitchen, she saw a tower of unwashed dishes.
Her father neared her in a hurry and asked her, “Vivian, thank goodness, you are here. Darling, will you please help us and do the dishes?" He patted her on her shoulder and left her to do the dishes.
She looked at the dirty plates and spoons that were piled up before her.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右。

“I didn't study my whole life and come first in everything to do this!”Vivian thought.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 “I didn't study my whole life and come first in everything to do this!” Vivian thought. She was down in the dumps and left the kitchen. But after a while she heard her father saying, “Vivian, sweetheart, you didn’t do the dishes? Go on, do it.” But Vivian ignored him deliberately. Her father looked at her in confusion but then he realized why his daughter was behaving like this. Obviously he was aware of his daughter’s thinking. So, he started making his way towards the back of the kitchen.
Vivian’s father picked up the gloves, put them on and started doing the dishes himself. “Dad, what are you doing? You are not an ordinary employee!” said Vivian. “Darling, I have always been an ordinary man. I worked hard for you just as these employees’ parents must have done,” her father replied. Vivian was overcome with regret and took the gloves off his hands immediately. “You are not seriously thinking that I am going to let you do these without offering my help?” Vivian said and then they both laughed.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Vivian是一位成功商人的独生女，大学毕业后他被父亲叫去他的公司当会计，几个月后，公司出现了紧急情况，其中一家餐厅因员工突然辞职而出现员工短缺，父亲叫她去帮忙洗碗的故事。
