阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项由选出最佳选项。
A
With at least several dozen antivirus products on the market, you may be wondering which one you should choose. There’s no simple one-size- fits-all answer. But here are four things to consider before making your decision.
Do You Want Cloud Antivirus?
Unlike conventional antivirus software, cloud antivirus programs do most of their processing on the Internet rather than your computer’ s hard drive. Cloud antivirus programs not only have a smaller resource footprint, but they also can be quicker to respond to newly emerging malware(恶意软件)threats.
What Sort of Device and Operating System Are You Protecting?
One obvious point is that you need a program that’s compatible(兼容的)with your device’s operating system. This isn’t as much of an issue as it once was, since many antivirus software makers offer their products for multiple platforms. Another consideration is how much memory and storage space your device has，since antivirus programs sometimes can occupy many resources.
What’s Your Price Point?
If you’re on a tight budget and aren’t a heavy-duty computer user, you may be able to get by with using one of the numerous free antivirus programs that are available. Another popular choice is Avast Free Antivirus, which has earned high ratings from security researchers and is available for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices. But if you can afford it, the paid versions of the free programs often have more features.
How Much Protection Do You Need?
If you’re mostly just using your computer to write emails and watch movies on Netflix, then most of the fine bells and whistles on a full-featured security suite probably would go to waste. If you’ re surfing the web more extensively or running a home e-commerce business, you may find that advanced features in a paid program are well worth the money.
But no matter which antivirus program you pick, online security expert Bruce Schneier says the most important thing is that you install one, and set it to automatically update.
1. What’s the feature of the cloud antivirus programs?
A. They are free.
B. They do most work on the Internet.
C. They need more memory and storage space.
D. They are compatible with all the operating systems.
2. What should you do if you’re lack of money?
A. Turn to an expert.
B. Study the previous cases.
C. Choose a free antivirus program.
D. Pay for an advanced antivirus program.
3. What is the most important thing after you choose an antivirus program?
A. Updating automatically. B. Setting passwords.
C. Checking occasionally. D. Storing quickly.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了选择计算机杀毒产品的几个注意事项。

Growing up in rural Jiangsu Province, Yu Jigao showed a strong interest in fine arts at an early age and studied on his own for years. His hard work paid off later. In the early 1950s, he made his way to Nanjing Normal University, where he learned painting theories and techniques from some famous artists. It was then that Yu found his lifelong artistic zeal for gongbi. Gongbi paintings usually describe birds and flowers, symbols of beauty and joy, in an artistic way with intense color.
After graduation from the art school in 1957, Yu began his professional career at the Chinese Painting Institute of Jiangsu. He has since published a series of art collections. Since 1959, Yu has contributed a series of works to many important sites. Yu’s works have also been displayed in a range of national and international exhibitions. From 1986 to 1997, he held his exhibitions in such places as Beijing, Guangzhou and New York. Both the themes and artistic techniques have won widespread praise in the past years.
While observing traditional rules he uses accurate lines, powerful brush movements as well as the interplay between dark and light to represent the harmony of nature. Though he adopts a realistic style, he tries to enrich his works with spiritual beauty through his brush. Yu says, “That feeling turns into the images of singing birds and elegant flowers in my paintings.” Thanks to his careful observation of nature and artistic sensitivity, Yu is able to combine realistic description with artistic expression in his brushwork.
Now as deputy director of the Academy of Chinese Gongbi Painting of Flowers and Birds and a national top-level artist, Yu maintains a simple and easy-going style. In addition to artistic creation, Yu has devoted himself to promoting his painting style as the cultural heritage of China. “Art is part of my life,” Yu says. “I am proud to be a flower-bird painter. I hope to create a bright future for it through my efforts.”
4. What does the underlined word “zeal” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Request. B. Passion. C. Justice. D. Fund.
5. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Yu?
A. His school life.
B. His painting techniques.
C. His achievements in painting.
D. His contributions to the art school.
6. Which is Yu’s painting feature?
A. Adopting abstract objects.
B. Excluding plants and animals.
C. Combining traditional rules with a realistic style.
D. Representing the imbalance between nature and humans.
7. What does Yu expect of his painting style?
A. It will be passed on.
B. It will change over time.
C. It will look more complicated.
D. It will reach the top international level.

The rapid pace of global warming and its effects on habitats raise the question of whether species are able to keep up so that they remain in suitable living conditions. Some animals can move fast to adjust to a swiftly changing climate. Plants, being less mobile, rely on means such as seed dispersal(传播) by animals, wind or water to move to new areas, but this redistribution typically occurs within one kilometre of the original plant.
When the climate in a plant’s usual range becomes hotter than it can tolerate, it must find new, cooler areas that might lie many kilometres away. One explanation for long-distance seed dispersal is through transport by migratory (迁徙的) birds. Such birds swallow seeds when eating fruit and can move them tens or hundreds of kilometres outside the range of a plant species.
Gonzáiez-Vary and colleagues report how plants might be able to keep pace with rapid climate change with the help of migratory birds. The authors analysed the fruiting times of plants, patterns of bird migration and the interactions between fruit-eating birds and fleshy-fruited plants across Europe. Plants with fleshy fruits were chosen for this study because most of their seed transport is by migratory birds, and because fleshy-fruited plants are an important part of the woody-plant community in Europe. The common approach until now has been to predict plant dispersal using models fitted to abiotic (非生物的) factors such as the current climate. Gonzáiez-Vary instead analysed an impressive data set of 949 different seed-dispersal interactions between bird and plant communities, together with data on entire fruiting times and migratory patterns of birds across Europe. The researchers also analysed DNA traces from bird wastes to identify the plants and birds responsible for seed dispersal.
8. How do species adapt to climate changes when it’s too hot?
A. All animals will move away across great distanced.
B. Some plants depend on migratory birds to carry seeds.
C. Some plants depend on animals, wind or water to move.
D. Plants’ seeds disperse to cooler places of several kilometres away.
9. Why did researchers mainly study fleshy-fruited plants?
A. Most of these can’t fit rapid climate change
B. Migratory birds like making nests in them
C. Migratory birds transport their seeds.
D. They are favoured by most birds.
10. Why does the author mention “fleshy fruits” and “fruiting times” in paragraph 3?
A. To explain relations between fruit plants and migratory birds.
B. To clarify the reason why birds migrate in fruiting times.
C. To present a fact that migratory bird eats flesh fruits.
D. To show that fruits depend on migratory birds.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. The advantage of fruit plants.
B. The destination of the bird migration.
C. The adaptation of fruit plants to the climate change.
D. The influence of climate change on plants and animals.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文，介绍了植物是如何适应气候变化的。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“One explanation for long-distance seed dispersal is through transport by migratory(迁徙的) birds. Such birds swallow seeds when eating fruit and can move them tens or hundreds of kilometres outside the range of a plant species.(对种子长距离传播的一种解释是通过候鸟的运输。这样的鸟在吃水果的时候会吞下种子，并能把种子带到植物物种的活动范围之外几十或几百公里的地方)”可知，植物会通过候鸟迁徙将其种子传播到远方，植物通过这种方式来适应过热的气候。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“Plants with fleshy fruits were chosen for this study because most of their seed transport is by migratory birds, and because fleshy-fruited plants are an important part of the woody-plant community in Europe.(选择肉质果实植物进行这项研究，因为它们的种子大部分是由候鸟运输的，而且肉质果实植物是欧洲木本植物群落的重要组成部分)”可知，该研究选择将肉质果实植物作为研究对象主要是因为是它们的种子是由候鸟运输的。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。第三段首句“Gonzáiez-Vary and colleagues report how plants might be able to keep pace with rapid climate change with the help of migratory birds.(Gonzáiez-Vary和他的同事报告了植物如何在候鸟的帮助下能够跟上快速的气候变化)”提到植物在候鸟的帮助下跟上快速的气候变化，结合本段中“The authors analysed the fruiting times of plants, patterns of bird migration and the interactions between fruit-eating birds and fleshy-fruited plants across Europe.(作者分析了欧洲各地植物的结果期、鸟类迁徙的模式以及以水果为食的鸟类和肉质果实植物之间的相互作用)”可知，本段提到“肉质果实”和“结果期”是为了找出植物的果实与候鸟迁徙之间的联系，这样候鸟迁徙才能帮助植物果实传播，从而跟上气候变化。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第三段首句“Gonzáiez-Vary and colleagues report how plants might be able to keep pace with rapid climate change with the help of migratory birds.(Gonzáiez-Vary和他的同事报告了植物如何在候鸟的帮助下能够跟上快速的气候变化)”可知，本文主要介绍了植物是如何适应气候变化的。故选C项。
D
Is it possible for the human heart to shrink (缩小) and if so, how does this change impact the human body?
Recently, scientists have discovered an unexpected similarity between long-distance swimming and spending a long duration of tire in space—both can cause the human heart to shrink over time! These findings were based on the experiences of astronaut Scott Belly, who spent 340 days in space in 2015, and Benoit Lecomte, an athlete who in 2018 swam 1,753 miles (about 2,821 km) across the Pacific Ocean in 159 days.
The absence of gravity in space means that the heart does not have to work as hard to pump blood through the aorta (主动脉), the largest blood vessel that supplies oxygen to all parts of our body. As a result, the heart loses muscle mass, causing it to reduce in size. The study was conducted by Benjamin Levine, a professor of internal medicine at the University of Texas South western Medical Center. He noted that the shrinkage was seen despite the fact that Scott Belly exercised every day.
Activities such as long-distance swimming can cause the heart to change similarly. Lecomte spent 5.8 hours swimming every day and then another hours sleeping; therefore, he spent more time in a horizontal (水平的) position than upright. This reduced the force of gravity acting on his body.
Fortunately, while the heart did shrink in size for Belly and Lecomte, it was just as strong and continued to function normally for both men. And in both cases, the heart regained its original mass and size after a return to normal daily lives,
This study is crucial as NASA prepares to send astronauts to Mars in the 2030s. Professor Levine is working with NASA on a program called cypher, which hopes to collect more in-formation by following ten more astronauts’ year-long trips as well as conducting research on shorter trips to space.
12. What do Belly and Lecomte have in common?
A. Their hearts once became smaller than before.
B. Their hearts are stronger than common people.
C. Their hearts may never return to normal.
D. Their hearts may have to work harder.
13. What causes the change of the heart in space?
A. The lack of exercise B. The lack of gravity.
C. The sleeping position. D. The psychological pressure.
14. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. The limitation of the study. B. The process of the study.
C. The details of the study. D. The application of the study.
15. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Can astronauts avoid the effect of gravity?
B. Can athlete have a stronger heart?
C. Can the human heart reduce in size?
D. Can the human heart function well in space?
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文，介绍了人的心脏在长期缺乏重力的情况下会变小的一项研究。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Fortunately, while the heart did shrink in size for Belly and Lecomte, it was just as strong and continued to function normally for both men.(幸运的是，虽然贝利和勒孔特的心脏确实变小了，但他们的心脏依然强大，继续正常运转。)”可知，Belly和Lecomte的心脏都变得比之前更小了。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“The absence of gravity in space means that the heart does not have to work as hard to pump blood through the aorta (主动脉), the largest blood vessel that supplies oxygen to all parts of our body. As a result, the heart loses muscle mass, causing it to reduce in size. (在太空中没有重力意味着心脏不需要那么费力地将血液泵入主动脉，主动脉是向我们身体各个部位提供氧气的最大血管。结果，心脏失去了肌肉量，导致心脏变小。)”可知，由于缺少地球重力，人的心脏会产生变化，会变得更小。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。通读最后一段“This study is crucial as NASA prepares to send astronauts to Mars in the 2030s. Professor Levine is working with NASA on a program called cypher, which hopes to collect more in-formation by following ten more astronauts’ year-long trips as well as conducting research on shorter trips to space.(这项研究至关重要，因为美国宇航局准备在21世纪30年代将宇航员送上火星。莱文教授正在与美国宇航局合作一个名为cypher的项目，该项目希望通过跟踪10多名宇航员长达一年的太空旅行，以及对较短时间的太空旅行进行研究，来收集更多的信息。)”可知，从最后一段我们能知道这个研究的应用。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Is it possible for the human heart to shrink (缩小) and if so, how does this change impact the human body?(人类的心脏有可能收缩吗？如果有的话，这种变化对人体有什么影响？)”可知，本文主要介绍了“人类的心脏能变小吗”这一问题。故选C。

第二节（满分25分）
57. 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。
Jayce began noticing when he was in kindergarten that he looked different from his classmates. They had two hands while he had one. Due to their young age, Jayce was encouraged that he was just like an angel with one wing folded to prepare for something.
It started when one boy laughed at him. From that day, 5-year-old Jayce turned sad. He returned home with questions. “Why am I different? Why me? Why?” He cried to ask his mother, Lewis Seeing Jayce was mad at God for making him that way, the poor mother felt it a huge dagger to her heart. What made her more sorrowful was that she didn’t know what to do at that point and how to provide answers to her son’s questions which she could never find out herself. The white lie burst just like bubbles that day.
A few weeks later, Lewis turned on the TV to a news story, where she was shocked to find out the answer. It was Trashaun, an eighth grader, that displayed positive energy from his head to his toe. The 14-year-old sunny boy performed his slam dunks(大灌篮) on the TV, who had been a hit on the Internet. However, like Jayce, he had missed most of his left arm since his childhood! Lewis called her son Jayce in. The poor little boy got spellbound, watching dunk after dunk.
At the time, it seemed that watching Trashaun would simply be an inspiring moment for Jayce. He saw Trashaun as a tough role model who had a seemingly similar born disability but led a brilliant life. And had it stayed just that, Lewis would have been happy. But little did she know that a family friend had already reached out to Trashaun, asking him to help set up a meeting with Jayce to rebuild his confidence.
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。
The day was not spent drowning in self-pity but for fun.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Staring at the shirt he sent Jayce, Trashaun began to talk about their left arms.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Version 1
The day was not spent drowning in self-pity but for fun. The boys met at a middle School on a sunny afternoon, and instantly bonded. Seeing his role model in flesh, Jayce was too thrilled to say a single word but stand there with his mouth open wide. Amused by the sight, Trashaun held Lewis’ tiny hand as if Lewis had been his little brother to play hide-and-seek first, due to their similar congenital defect. Gradually, Trashaun led Jayce to ride bikes around the school, and eventually, taught Jayce slam dunks. During the rest, Trashaun took up a shirt that says “Five fingers can also make it”, which was prepared for Jayce.
Staring at the skirt he sent Jayce, Trashaun began to talk about their left arms. Trashaun smiled, “I guess you may be puzzled, surprised, upset, even frustrated, hating God make you this way.” He stopped, falling his eyes on Jayce’s, with one hand patting Jayce’s head, “But I think this is the perfect way God made me. With five fingers, we also made it in lots of things just now. The missed arm is like a wing folded by an angel. Only when you’re tough will you see the wing!” Behind stood Lewis, whose face was flooded with tears. She confirmed the 14-year-old would be a superhero one day, so would her son, who was unfolding his hidden wing！
Version 2
The day was not spent drowning in self-pity but for fun. It was a sunny day, when a doorbell rang unexpectedly. Jayce opened the door, feeling his heart race. It was Trashaun, who can only be watched on TV! Jayce was wild with joy. He screamed, “How can you know my address?” Stepping into the house, Trashaun laughed loudly, took out his gift -- an old shirt carefully from his bag, and gave it to Jayce. Confused about the shirt, Jayce asked curiously “Does the shirt have any special meaning?”
Staring at the shirt he sent Jayce, Trashaun began to talk about their left arms. “When I was young, I lost most of my arms in a serious car accident. However, I was lucky enough to meet a kind-hearted coach who gave me the precious shirt for encouragement. That’s the source of my bravery. Now I pass my bravery to you.” Hearing the story, Jayce’s eyes were sparkling like diamonds. “Thanks for your present!” Trashaun nodded, “Disabilities are people who own different abilities that can’t be easily found by ordinary people. We are born differently, because we are born to make a difference.”
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了先天只有一只手臂的Jayce在学校里遭到了同学的嘲笑，于是便回家中问母亲，为何自己和其他人不一样。他的母亲一时难以回答，直到她在电视中看到了和他孩子情况一样的Trashaun，她便让两个孩子见面。最后在Trashaun的鼓励下，Jayce也逐渐认识自己并且走向成功。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“这一天不是在自怜中度过的，而是为了玩耍”可知，第一段可描写当Jayce在遇见Trashaun之后激动的表情，然后Trashaun十分感动并亲自教Jayce打篮球，甚至还送了一件球衣给他。
②由第二段首句内容“Trashaun盯着他送给Jayce的球衣，开始谈论他们的左臂。”可知，第二段可描写两个孩子就自己的手臂进行交流。Trashaun鼓励Jayce勇于面对自己的缺陷，只要坚持到底，一定可以成为自己的超级英雄。
2.续写线索：两人见面——Jayce激动不已——Trashaun教打篮球并赠与球衣——谈论手臂——鼓励Jayce——Jayce相信自己
3.词类激活
行为类
①看见：see/catch sight of
②握住：hold/grip
③打开：unfold/turn on
情感类
①惊讶的：surprised/astonished
②困惑的：puzzled/confused
【点睛】[高分句型1] Only when you’re tough will you see the wing! (运用了部分倒装结构)

第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项由选出最佳选项。
A
With at least several dozen antivirus products on the market, you may be wondering which one you should choose. There’s no simple one-size- fits-all answer. But here are four things to consider before making your decision.
Do You Want Cloud Antivirus?
Unlike conventional antivirus software, cloud antivirus programs do most of their processing on the Internet rather than your computer’ s hard drive. Cloud antivirus programs not only have a smaller resource footprint, but they also can be quicker to respond to newly emerging malware(恶意软件)threats.
What Sort of Device and Operating System Are You Protecting?
One obvious point is that you need a program that’s compatible(兼容的)with your device’s operating system. This isn’t as much of an issue as it once was, since many antivirus software makers offer their products for multiple platforms. Another consideration is how much memory and storage space your device has，since antivirus programs sometimes can occupy many resources.
What’s Your Price Point?
If you’re on a tight budget and aren’t a heavy-duty computer user, you may be able to get by with using one of the numerous free antivirus programs that are available. Another popular choice is Avast Free Antivirus, which has earned high ratings from security researchers and is available for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices. But if you can afford it, the paid versions of the free programs often have more features.
How Much Protection Do You Need?
If you’re mostly just using your computer to write emails and watch movies on Netflix, then most of the fine bells and whistles on a full-featured security suite probably would go to waste. If you’ re surfing the web more extensively or running a home e-commerce business, you may find that advanced features in a paid program are well worth the money.
But no matter which antivirus program you pick, online security expert Bruce Schneier says the most important thing is that you install one, and set it to automatically update.
1. What’s the feature of the cloud antivirus programs?
A. They are free.
B. They do most work on the Internet.
C. They need more memory and storage space.
D. They are compatible with all the operating systems.
2. What should you do if you’re lack of money?
A. Turn to an expert.
B. Study the previous cases.
C. Choose a free antivirus program.
D. Pay for an advanced antivirus program.
3. What is the most important thing after you choose an antivirus program?
A. Updating automatically. B. Setting passwords.
C. Checking occasionally. D. Storing quickly.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了选择计算机杀毒产品的几个注意事项。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Do You Want Cloud Antivirus?部分“Unlike conventional antivirus software, cloud antivirus programs do most of their processing on the Internet rather than your computer’ s hard drive.（与传统的防病毒软件不同，云防病毒程序的大部分处理都是在互联网上进行的，而不是在计算机的硬盘上。）”可知，云防病毒程序的特点是大部分处理都是在互联网上进行的。故选B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据What’s Your Price Point?部分“If you’re on a tight budget and aren’t a heavy-duty computer user, you may be able to get by with using one of the numerous free antivirus programs that are available.（如果你的预算很紧，而且不是一个重型计算机用户，你可以通过使用众多免费杀毒程序中的一个来应付。）”可知，如果你缺钱，可以选择免费杀毒程序。故选C。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“But no matter which antivirus program you pick, online security expert Bruce Schneier says the most important thing is that you install one, and set it to automatically update.（但无论你选择哪种防病毒程序，在线安全专家布鲁斯·施耐尔说，最重要的是你安装一个，并将其设置为自动更新。）”可知，选择防病毒程序后最重要的是将其设置为自动更新。故选A。

In the early 1950s, he made his way to Nanjing Normal University, where he learned painting theories and techniques from some famous artists. It was then that Yu found his lifelong artistic zeal for gongbi. Gongbi paintings usually describe birds and flowers, symbols of beauty and joy, in an artistic way with intense color.
After graduation from the art school in 1957, Yu began his professional career at the Chinese Painting Institute of Jiangsu. He has since published a series of art collections. Since 1959, Yu has contributed a series of works to many important sites. Yu’s works have also been displayed in a range of national and international exhibitions. From 1986 to 1997, he held his exhibitions in such places as Beijing, Guangzhou and New York. Both the themes and artistic techniques have won widespread praise in the past years.
While observing traditional rules he uses accurate lines, powerful brush movements as well as the interplay between dark and light to represent the harmony of nature. Though he adopts a realistic style, he tries to enrich his works with spiritual beauty through his brush. Yu says, “That feeling turns into the images of singing birds and elegant flowers in my paintings.” Thanks to his careful observation of nature and artistic sensitivity, Yu is able to combine realistic description with artistic expression in his brushwork.
Now as deputy director of the Academy of Chinese Gongbi Painting of Flowers and Birds and a national top-level artist, Yu maintains a simple and easy-going style. In addition to artistic creation, Yu has devoted himself to promoting his painting style as the cultural heritage of China. “Art is part of my life,” Yu says. “I am proud to be a flower-bird painter. I hope to create a bright future for it through my efforts.”

The rapid pace of global warming and its effects on habitats raise the question of whether species are able to keep up so that they remain in suitable living conditions. Some animals can move fast to adjust to a swiftly changing climate. Plants, being less mobile, rely on means such as seed dispersal(传播) by animals, wind or water to move to new areas, but this redistribution typically occurs within one kilometre of the original plant.
When the climate in a plant’s usual range becomes hotter than it can tolerate, it must find new, cooler areas that might lie many kilometres away. One explanation for long-distance seed dispersal is through transport by migratory (迁徙的) birds. Such birds swallow seeds when eating fruit and can move them tens or hundreds of kilometres outside the range of a plant species.
Gonzáiez-Vary and colleagues report how plants might be able to keep pace with rapid climate change with the help of migratory birds. The authors analysed the fruiting times of plants, patterns of bird migration and the interactions between fruit-eating birds and fleshy-fruited plants across Europe. Plants with fleshy fruits were chosen for this study because most of their seed transport is by migratory birds, and because fleshy-fruited plants are an important part of the woody-plant community in Europe. The common approach until now has been to predict plant dispersal using models fitted to abiotic (非生物的) factors such as the current climate. Gonzáiez-Vary instead analysed an impressive data set of 949 different seed-dispersal interactions between bird and plant communities, together with data on entire fruiting times and migratory patterns of birds across Europe. The researchers also analysed DNA traces from bird wastes to identify the plants and birds responsible for seed dispersal.
8. How do species adapt to climate changes when it’s too hot?
A. All animals will move away across great distanced.
B. Some plants depend on migratory birds to carry seeds.
C. Some plants depend on animals, wind or water to move.
D. Plants’ seeds disperse to cooler places of several kilometres away.
9. Why did researchers mainly study fleshy-fruited plants?
A. Most of these can’t fit rapid climate change
B. Migratory birds like making nests in them
C. Migratory birds transport their seeds.
D. They are favoured by most birds.
10. Why does the author mention “fleshy fruits” and “fruiting times” in paragraph 3?
A. To explain relations between fruit plants and migratory birds.
B. To clarify the reason why birds migrate in fruiting times.
C. To present a fact that migratory bird eats flesh fruits.
D. To show that fruits depend on migratory birds.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. The advantage of fruit plants.
B. The destination of the bird migration.
C. The adaptation of fruit plants to the climate change.
D. The influence of climate change on plants and animals.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文，介绍了植物是如何适应气候变化的。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“One explanation for long-distance seed dispersal is through transport by migratory(迁徙的) birds. Such birds swallow seeds when eating fruit and can move them tens or hundreds of kilometres outside the range of a plant species.(对种子长距离传播的一种解释是通过候鸟的运输。这样的鸟在吃水果的时候会吞下种子，并能把种子带到植物物种的活动范围之外几十或几百公里的地方)”可知，植物会通过候鸟迁徙将其种子传播到远方，植物通过这种方式来适应过热的气候。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“Plants with fleshy fruits were chosen for this study because most of their seed transport is by migratory birds, and because fleshy-fruited plants are an important part of the woody-plant community in Europe.(选择肉质果实植物进行这项研究，因为它们的种子大部分是由候鸟运输的，而且肉质果实植物是欧洲木本植物群落的重要组成部分)”可知，该研究选择将肉质果实植物作为研究对象主要是因为是它们的种子是由候鸟运输的。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。第三段首句“Gonzáiez-Vary and colleagues report how plants might be able to keep pace with rapid climate change with the help of migratory birds.(Gonzáiez-Vary和他的同事报告了植物如何在候鸟的帮助下能够跟上快速的气候变化)”提到植物在候鸟的帮助下跟上快速的气候变化，结合本段中“The authors analysed the fruiting times of plants, patterns of bird migration and the interactions between fruit-eating birds and fleshy-fruited plants across Europe.(作者分析了欧洲各地植物的结果期、鸟类迁徙的模式以及以水果为食的鸟类和肉质果实植物之间的相互作用)”可知，本段提到“肉质果实”和“结果期”是为了找出植物的果实与候鸟迁徙之间的联系，这样候鸟迁徙才能帮助植物果实传播，从而跟上气候变化。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第三段首句“Gonzáiez-Vary and colleagues report how plants might be able to keep pace with rapid climate change with the help of migratory birds.(Gonzáiez-Vary和他的同事报告了植物如何在候鸟的帮助下能够跟上快速的气候变化)”可知，本文主要介绍了植物是如何适应气候变化的。故选C项。

Is it possible for the human heart to shrink (缩小) and if so, how does this change impact the human body?
Recently, scientists have discovered an unexpected similarity between long-distance swimming and spending a long duration of tire in space—both can cause the human heart to shrink over time! These findings were based on the experiences of astronaut Scott Belly, who spent 340 days in space in 2015, and Benoit Lecomte, an athlete who in 2018 swam 1,753 miles (about 2,821 km) across the Pacific Ocean in 159 days.
The absence of gravity in space means that the heart does not have to work as hard to pump blood through the aorta (主动脉), the largest blood vessel that supplies oxygen to all parts of our body. As a result, the heart loses muscle mass, causing it to reduce in size. The study was conducted by Benjamin Levine, a professor of internal medicine at the University of Texas South western Medical Center. He noted that the shrinkage was seen despite the fact that Scott Belly exercised every day.
Activities such as long-distance swimming can cause the heart to change similarly. Lecomte spent 5.8 hours swimming every day and then another hours sleeping; therefore, he spent more time in a horizontal (水平的) position than upright. This reduced the force of gravity acting on his body.
Fortunately, while the heart did shrink in size for Belly and Lecomte, it was just as strong and continued to function normally for both men. And in both cases, the heart regained its original mass and size after a return to normal daily lives,
This study is crucial as NASA prepares to send astronauts to Mars in the 2030s. Professor Levine is working with NASA on a program called cypher, which hopes to collect more in-formation by following ten more astronauts’ year-long trips as well as conducting research on shorter trips to space.
12. What do Belly and Lecomte have in common?
A. Their hearts once became smaller than before.
B. Their hearts are stronger than common people.
C. Their hearts may never return to normal.
D. Their hearts may have to work harder.
13. What causes the change of the heart in space?
A. The lack of exercise B. The lack of gravity.
C. The sleeping position. D. The psychological pressure.
14. What can we know from the last paragraph?
A. The limitation of the study. B. The process of the study.
C. The details of the study. D. The application of the study.
15. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Can astronauts avoid the effect of gravity?
B. Can athlete have a stronger heart?
C. Can the human heart reduce in size?
D. Can the human heart function well in space?
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文，介绍了人的心脏在长期缺乏重力的情况下会变小的一项研究。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Fortunately, while the heart did shrink in size for Belly and Lecomte, it was just as strong and continued to function normally for both men.(幸运的是，虽然贝利和勒孔特的心脏确实变小了，但他们的心脏依然强大，继续正常运转。)”可知，Belly和Lecomte的心脏都变得比之前更小了。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“The absence of gravity in space means that the heart does not have to work as hard to pump blood through the aorta (主动脉), the largest blood vessel that supplies oxygen to all parts of our body. As a result, the heart loses muscle mass, causing it to reduce in size. (在太空中没有重力意味着心脏不需要那么费力地将血液泵入主动脉，主动脉是向我们身体各个部位提供氧气的最大血管。结果，心脏失去了肌肉量，导致心脏变小。)”可知，由于缺少地球重力，人的心脏会产生变化，会变得更小。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。通读最后一段“This study is crucial as NASA prepares to send astronauts to Mars in the 2030s. Professor Levine is working with NASA on a program called cypher, which hopes to collect more in-formation by following ten more astronauts’ year-long trips as well as conducting research on shorter trips to space.(这项研究至关重要，因为美国宇航局准备在21世纪30年代将宇航员送上火星。莱文教授正在与美国宇航局合作一个名为cypher的项目，该项目希望通过跟踪10多名宇航员长达一年的太空旅行，以及对较短时间的太空旅行进行研究，来收集更多的信息。)”可知，从最后一段我们能知道这个研究的应用。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Is it possible for the human heart to shrink (缩小) and if so, how does this change impact the human body?(人类的心脏有可能收缩吗？如果有的话，这种变化对人体有什么影响？)”可知，本文主要介绍了“人类的心脏能变小吗”这一问题。故选C。

第二节（满分25分）
57. 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。
Jayce began noticing when he was in kindergarten that he looked different from his classmates. They had two hands while he had one. Due to their young age, Jayce was encouraged that he was just like an angel with one wing folded to prepare for something.
It started when one boy laughed at him. From that day, 5-year-old Jayce turned sad. He returned home with questions. “Why am I different? Why me? Why?” He cried to ask his mother, Lewis Seeing Jayce was mad at God for making him that way, the poor mother felt it a huge dagger to her heart. What made her more sorrowful was that she didn’t know what to do at that point and how to provide answers to her son’s questions which she could never find out herself. The white lie burst just like bubbles that day.
A few weeks later, Lewis turned on the TV to a news story, where she was shocked to find out the answer. It was Trashaun, an eighth grader, that displayed positive energy from his head to his toe. The 14-year-old sunny boy performed his slam dunks(大灌篮) on the TV, who had been a hit on the Internet. However, like Jayce, he had missed most of his left arm since his childhood! Lewis called her son Jayce in. The poor little boy got spellbound, watching dunk after dunk.
At the time, it seemed that watching Trashaun would simply be an inspiring moment for Jayce. He saw Trashaun as a tough role model who had a seemingly similar born disability but led a brilliant life. And had it stayed just that, Lewis would have been happy. But little did she know that a family friend had already reached out to Trashaun, asking him to help set up a meeting with Jayce to rebuild his confidence.
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。
The day was not spent drowning in self-pity but for fun.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Staring at the shirt he sent Jayce, Trashaun began to talk about their left arms.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Version 1
The day was not spent drowning in self-pity but for fun. The boys met at a middle School on a sunny afternoon, and instantly bonded. Seeing his role model in flesh, Jayce was too thrilled to say a single word but stand there with his mouth open wide. Amused by the sight, Trashaun held Lewis’ tiny hand as if Lewis had been his little brother to play hide-and-seek first, due to their similar congenital defect. Gradually, Trashaun led Jayce to ride bikes around the school, and eventually, taught Jayce slam dunks. During the rest, Trashaun took up a shirt that says “Five fingers can also make it”, which was prepared for Jayce.
Staring at the skirt he sent Jayce, Trashaun began to talk about their left arms. Trashaun smiled, “I guess you may be puzzled, surprised, upset, even frustrated, hating God make you this way.” He stopped, falling his eyes on Jayce’s, with one hand patting Jayce’s head, “But I think this is the perfect way God made me. With five fingers, we also made it in lots of things just now. The missed arm is like a wing folded by an angel. Only when you’re tough will you see the wing!” Behind stood Lewis, whose face was flooded with tears. She confirmed the 14-year-old would be a superhero one day, so would her son, who was unfolding his hidden wing！
Version 2
The day was not spent drowning in self-pity but for fun. It was a sunny day, when a doorbell rang unexpectedly. Jayce opened the door, feeling his heart race. It was Trashaun, who can only be watched on TV! Jayce was wild with joy. He screamed, “How can you know my address?” Stepping into the house, Trashaun laughed loudly, took out his gift -- an old shirt carefully from his bag, and gave it to Jayce. Confused about the shirt, Jayce asked curiously “Does the shirt have any special meaning?”
Staring at the shirt he sent Jayce, Trashaun began to talk about their left arms. “When I was young, I lost most of my arms in a serious car accident. However, I was lucky enough to meet a kind-hearted coach who gave me the precious shirt for encouragement. That’s the source of my bravery. Now I pass my bravery to you.” Hearing the story, Jayce’s eyes were sparkling like diamonds. “Thanks for your present!” Trashaun nodded, “Disabilities are people who own different abilities that can’t be easily found by ordinary people. We are born differently, because we are born to make a difference.”
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了先天只有一只手臂的Jayce在学校里遭到了同学的嘲笑，于是便回家中问母亲，为何自己和其他人不一样。他的母亲一时难以回答，直到她在电视中看到了和他孩子情况一样的Trashaun，她便让两个孩子见面。最后在Trashaun的鼓励下，Jayce也逐渐认识自己并且走向成功。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“这一天不是在自怜中度过的，而是为了玩耍”可知，第一段可描写当Jayce在遇见Trashaun之后激动的表情，然后Trashaun十分感动并亲自教Jayce打篮球，甚至还送了一件球衣给他。
②由第二段首句内容“Trashaun盯着他送给Jayce的球衣，开始谈论他们的左臂。”可知，第二段可描写两个孩子就自己的手臂进行交流。Trashaun鼓励Jayce勇于面对自己的缺陷，只要坚持到底，一定可以成为自己的超级英雄。
2.续写线索：两人见面——Jayce激动不已——Trashaun教打篮球并赠与球衣——谈论手臂——鼓励Jayce——Jayce相信自己
3.词类激活
行为类
①看见：see/catch sight of
②握住：hold/grip
③打开：unfold/turn on
情感类
①惊讶的：surprised/astonished
②困惑的：puzzled/confused
