My grandfather was a rigid (刻板的) perfectionist. Everything had to be orderly, precise and punctual. I was frightened of him until the day he died. Growing up, my mother desperately wanted to please him. She probably thought he might leave if she didn’t.
In fact, I now think the fear of being left alone, abandoned, was a current throughout much of her life. A few years into my father suffering from Alzheimer’s, my mother’s voice on the phone sounded so upset that I had to tell her, “Just be with yourself for a little while. Be calm and everything can be better.”
“No, I can’t do that. I don’t want to do that,” she said suddenly, closing the door on the subject. A while after my father died, she told me that she kept the television on all the time because it made her feel less lonely. “It makes the house seem to have more people living in it,” she said. I had given in to my annoyance and either turned the volume down or turned it off. But after she told me that it filled in some of the loneliness, I never reached for the remote control again.
We have had a long journey together, she and I. Over a half-century of memories, now that the journey has ended, I have a choice which ones to study and which ones to turn over in my hands and dust off (抹去).
I choose to look at the ones that ache with a sweet truth not told often enough. There was love between us. It was just hard to find sometimes. I choose to remember her face on that winter day in Manhattan, when I came to her with a broken heart. I choose to remember walking on the shore with her in summers when we rented a beach house. Somehow the sea always changed us. I choose to remember how she looked on my wedding day when she handed me a bracelet (手镯) that had belonged to my grandmother. “Something old,” she said.
24．What can we infer from the author’s words said to her mother in paragraph 2?

B．The remote control had broken down.
C．The remote control was hidden by her mother.
D．She would not turn the TV set off or turn it down.
26．How does the author deal with her half-century of memories of her mother?
A．Ignore most of them.
B．Keep all of them in mind.
C．Forget some and analyze others.
D．Write things from her memories often.

Virginia Guarddon can’t remember her life without some sort of art. She stared playing the piano when she was 6. At 10, she came across works by the Spanish poet Gustavo Adolfo Becquer, and she was hooked. She started writing poems that would be featured in a couple of books.
There’s something else that’s always been in her life: a type of skin lupus (狼疮) . “All of my life, I tried to find ways to make it better,” Guarddon said. “And that led to my trying to help others feel better about their skin.” The attempt took her to the U.S. in 1994, where she studied science and piano. And then she began a career in skin care. “ To me, skin is a form of art,” she said. “ I love making women feel beautiful.”
“ I wanted to create something of my own,” Guarddon said. “ I wanted to realize my dream.” Her dream? Combining all of her passions into one.
The result is Poet’s Garden Apothecary, Guarddon’s own skin care line and the online business: Poet’s Garden Alchemist. Guarddon teamed up with a laboratory to create her line of products, which she called “skin poetry”. The products, made for every skin type, include an oil face cleanser, day cream and night cream. With each purchase, customers receive a custom poem from one of the company’s contributors. And some earnings from the business go to the Poetry Foundation.
In the first few months of running business, Guarddon said, Poet’s Garden Alchemist is turning into an online poet’s movement. She often hosts live poetry readings on Instagram. “ To me, skin care and poetry go together,” she says. “ I’m trying to show that beauty is not just skin deep. It’s about our voice and how we express it.”
28．What inspired Guarddon to start her skin care art?
A．Gustavo’s works. B．Her passion for music.
C．Her early experience. D．The dream of being a poet.
29．What can we know about “skin poetry” products?
A．They are made in a laboratory.
B．They are created to cure skin lupus.
C．They win high praise from customers.
D．They get financial support from the Poetry Foundation.
30．Which of the following best describes Guarddon?
A．Reliable and modest. B．Smart and hard-working.
C．Creative and caring. D．Determined and ambitious.
31．What can be the best title for the text?
A．How to Cure Skin Lupus B．A Special Skin Product
C．The Secret to Running Business D．Putting Passions into Business

A worrying rise in social media posts, suggesting that people leave their Halloween pumpkins in the woods to feed wildlife after October 31, has made wildlife experts concerned. Thousands of pumpkins are discarded in woods across Britain. While well-meaning pumpkin carvers might think they are doing the local animals groups a kindness, leaving your leftover jack-o’-lantern in the woodland is actually doing more harm than good.
“A myth seems to have built up that leaving pumpkins in woods helps wildlife, but behind it are many hidden issues.” said Paul Bunton, engagement and communication officer at The Woodland Trust, according to The Telegraph.
One of the main issues is that the leftover of the Halloween pumpkins are often eaten by already struggling hedgehogs(刺猬). In early November, hedgehogs are looking to gain as much weight as possible to survive their winter hibernation. However, eating pumpkin is harmful to their little hedgehog stomachs, leading to diarrhea and dehydration. This means they may struggle to put on weight, and in some cases can even be fatal.
Moreover, leftover Halloween pumpkins can contain candles and plastic decorations which can also be fatal to wildlife if mistakenly eaten. The rotting leftover can also attract less popular wildlife, such as rats, to an area. According to The Woodland Trust, the additional nutrients in the pumpkins can negatively affect the soil balance as well. “Pumpkin flesh can have a really harmful effect on woodland soils,plants, and fungi(真菌),” Bunton pointed out.
So what should you do with your beautifully carved pumpkin creation after October 31? Most experts recommend composting (堆肥) it yourself at home if you can, or asking if a local farm will accept it as a donation. You could even try some scientific experiments to produce more energy from the throw-away wasted. Either way, the hedgehogs will thank vou.
32．What does the underlined word “discarded” mean in paragraph 1?
A．Processed. B．Recycled. C．Deserted. D．Preserved.
33．Why do hedgehogs try to eat so many pumpkins in early November?
A．To enjoy the sweet food. B．To fill their stomachs.
C．To prepare for the winter. D．To improve their health.
34．What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．The additional nutrients in the leftover pumpkins.
B．The damages of candles and plastic in the pumpkins.
C．The attraction of the rotting leftovers to some wildlife.
D．Further explanation of the effect of leftover pumpkins.
35．What are people advised to do with the leftover pumpkins after Halloween?.
A．Stop leaving your pumpkins in the woods.
B．Keep your beautiful pumpkin creations at home.
C．Feed the hedgehogs with the leftover pumpkins.
D．Bury the pumpkins leftover deep under the ground.

A new paper summarizes the evidence for letting kids loose. ____36____. It is building brain. Here are some of the research findings that appear in the paper.
____37____.
In order to grow healthy, our brains need plenty of something called BDNF (脑源性神经营养因子). Studies show what happened when young rats were allowed to fight and play together. Half an hour of this kind of play actually changed the expression of their genes in a way that promoted the production of BDNF.
Play reduces obesity and associated diseases.
Toddlers with plenty of chances to run, jump and climb grow into kids who are physically confident and more likely to be active and healthy adults. ____38____ .The study shows that the kids who got at least an hour a day of outdoor play showed significant improvement in their body mass indexes. Those who got the most outdoor time were 42 percent less likely to be overweight by the end of the year.
Play helps families bond.
Play is also important for building relationships between parents and kids. The conversations with kids that come out in play are brain-builders. ____39____ It in turn can help children learn to regulate their emotions when the cookie breaks.
Play contributes to academic skills.
No, everything doesn’t have to be about test scores! But play is also good for test scores.

Experts suggest that parents start small. Playing with blocks for even two minutes helps you use words together. ____40____
A．Play is not insignificant
B．Play helps children manage stress
C．It helps to develop great learning skills
D．Play encourages emotional adjustment

67．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。
It had been a long, tiring day because 48-year-old taxi driver Carl had worked for 8 hours. He’d been picking up and dropping off passengers the whole day. He wanted to get home then, but he noticed a panicky (恐慌的)woman getting off a taxi with a child in her arms.
“Why is she shouting at the driver?” Carl slowed down near them. He realized that the woman was begging the driver not to leave her there. The boy was having difficulty breathing, and his arms and legs were shaking uncontrollably. Carl realized the boy was having a seizure (疾病发作)and asked the woman to get into his taxi.
Carl drove as fast as he could. The hospital was several miles away, so he had to race against time to save the boy. Meanwhile, he grew concerned about why the previous driver had dropped them off during such an emergency. The woman told Carl that she and her four-year-old son, Tyler, returned from the park. She told the driver she would pay him once she got home because she didn’t take her purse. But then her son suddenly had a seizure, so she asked the driver to take them to the hospital instead. But the driver refused.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the hospital. Tyler was rushed inside for treatment as his mother waited outside the ward, crying. Carl was hungry and tired but stayed back. An hour later, the doctor said, “Tyler is out of danger now. But it could have been fatal (致命的)if you hadn’t made it here on time.”
Mrs Thomas immediately looked at Carl and cried in tears, thanking Carl for saving her son’s life. Carl was glad Tyler was out of danger. Later, he dropped them off at home, and when Mrs Thomas came out to pay him, he refused. “I have a policy. NO FARES for those making trips to the hospital!” said Carl “I just did what any good human being would do. And please convey my regards to Tyler!” Thomas was moved by his kindness. Carl never changed his policy of dropping off passengers at hospitals for free.
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。
18 years later, 66-year-old Carl booked a taxi to the hospital.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The driver said all the trips he made to the hospital were free.

参考答案：
1．C
【原文】M: As you can see from the drawings, the kitchen has one door into the dining room, another into the family room, and a third to the outside.
W: The door into the family room isn’t big enough. Could it be made wider?
2．B
【原文】M: Look, Christine! The ocean!
W: That’s not the ocean, Max. That’s a lake. Remember when Mom told you about the difference? Well, anyway, you’ll learn about bodies of water in class this spring.
3．A
【原文】W: How much longer until we get there? We’ve been on this same road for hours, and the scenery hasn’t even changed.
M: Another hour or so. I know what you mean, though. It would be nice to see some tall trees or a hill sometime.
4．A
【原文】W: What was that sound? It sounded like someone laughing. Is someone in the house, or did you forget to turn off the movie?
M: Don’t be silly. That’s just someone calling me. I downloaded the ring from the Internet.
5．B
【原文】M: You look great in this new dress. Does it fit all right?
W: Uh, it’s a bit tight around my waist. I wish it could be a bit wider. But I like the color. It matches my handbag.
6．C    7．A

【原文】W: Why are you buying Coca-Cola? I thought we said we weren’t going to drink that unhealthy stuff anymore.
M: I didn’t get it for drinking.
W: Well, is it for watering the plants?
M: Very funny. It’s for cleaning our house.
W: Are you joking?
M: No. There’s some rust on the metal in the bathroom. You know…that orange stuff that sometimes gets on metal with scratches. The metal reacts with the air, and you get rust. Well, Coca-Cola has something in it that can clean up rust.
W: To think that I’d been drinking it all those years…
M: And next, I’m going to start cleaning our dishes with mustard.
W: I won’t even try to understand that one!
8．A    9．B    10．C

【原文】M: How are you planning to get to the birthday party? Should I pick you up in a taxi on my way there?
W: That won’t be necessary. I’m at the mall with my mom right now, so I’m pretty close. There is a bus station right across the street.
M: Can’t you just ask your mom to drive you there?
W: She has a hair appointment, and she won’t be finished in time.
M: That’s too bad. So, are you buying Laura a gift right now?
W: I gave it to her yesterday on her actual birthday. I’m just here applying for a job.
M: Good for you. Anyway, do you know what the plan is for tonight?
W: Yeah. You and I will go there first and help her set up. When everyone else shows up, we’ll eat, and then we’ll watch a DVD.
M: Sounds like a plan!
11．B    12．C    13．B

【原文】M: Microsoft, Apple, Samsung…why do you always buy the foreign brands? You should try the products of our own companies here in China. There are some very good phones. For example, I just bought a Huawei phone and I love it more than my old iPhone. Lenovo is also a good company, especially for computers.
W: I know. My father just got a Lenovo phone. He tells me the same thing you do, and that I should support our country’s businesses. But I am addicted to Apple products. They’re so easy to use, and I love the designs. All my friends have iPhones, too.
M: Well, I guess it’s different for me. I’ve been taking a basic computer science course at the university this summer. I’m learning about how much more competitive China has become in technology recently. It’s really exciting, and I want to help us get even more ahead. That’s why I’m going to study to be a software engineer.
W: What will you do?
M: Oh, make computer programs and apps. Maybe I’ll make the next generation of Facebook!
14．A    15．C    16．C    17．B

【原文】M: Hello, dear. I’m flying to Paris this evening, but I’m still talking with the boss. Would you please pack my things up and take them to the airport for me? I’ll meet you there.
W: What do you mean? The Swifts are coming to our house for a visit this weekend, and you are not going to be at home? And we have plans to go to the theater this evening!
M: Tell the Swifts we have something important to do this weekend, so we have to change all the plans! Don’t forget to pack my things and get to the airport by 6:00. The plane takes off at 8:00 this evening. It will take one hour to get to the airport on time.
W: Why me? I have to wait at home for our son. He will be getting back from school soon.
M: Oh, dear! I guess I’d better just tell you…next Monday is your birthday, and this is my birthday present to you. We’re going to Paris! Please just pack all the things we need for the trip, OK?
W: Wow, what a surprise! But what about our son?
M: You don’t need to worry about him. I’ve arranged everything. His grandpa will pick him up and take care of him. I asked your boss for two days’ leave for you. We’ll be back next Tuesday.

【原文】 Good morning, this is Samantha from The Weather Service, your free Internet weather station with news around the world and around the clock. Your preferred city is Guangzhou. In Guangzhou this week, we expect more heavy rains, since we are only at the beginning of June. May was rather dry, but the storms should pick up again before the weekend. Hong Kong is expected to get hit hardest with this next cycle of rain, but everywhere south of Shanghai along the coast should see some amount of rainfall. Guangzhou will get around four centimeters over the next five days. Another band of rain can be seen on the radar, but it’s too far south over the sea right now. So it’s hard to say when it will hit Guangzhou.
This weather pattern should continue through June and into July, when the heavy rains will finally move to the north of China. This is the latest update for your Guangzhou weather. Remember, you can check back at The Weather Service anytime—day or night—to get updates on your local weather or the weather in your favorite city.

And then she began a career in skin care. “ To me, skin is a form of art,” she said. “ I love making women feel beautiful.”(还有一种东西一直存在于她的生活中：一种皮肤红斑狼疮。“在我的一生中，我都试图找到让它变得更好的方法，”瓜登说。“这导致我试图帮助别人对自己的皮肤感觉更好。”1994年，这一尝试将她带到了美国，在那里学习科学和钢琴。然后她开始了护肤事业。“对我来说，皮肤是一种艺术形式，”她说。“我喜欢让女人觉得自己很漂亮。”)”可推断，Guarddon早期的经历激发了她开始她的护肤艺术。故选C。

【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章谈论了万圣节后剩下的南瓜丢弃到树林里所产生的不良影响，建议人们不要把南瓜丢弃到树林里。
32．词句猜测题。划线词句前文“A worrying rise in social media posts, suggesting that people leave their Halloween pumpkins in the woods to feed wildlife after October 31, has made wildlife experts concerned. (社交媒体上有越来越多的帖子建议人们在10月31日之后把万圣节南瓜丢到树林里喂野生动物，这让野生动物专家感到担忧。)”说明有很多万圣节南瓜丢弃在了树林里，从而推知划线词句“Thousands of pumpkins are discarded in woods across Britain. (成千上万的南瓜被discarded在英国各地的树林里。)”中划线词汇意思应为“丢弃”。故选C项。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“One of the main issues is that the leftover of the Halloween pumpkins are often eaten by already struggling hedgehogs(刺猬). In early November, hedgehogs are looking to gain as much weight as possible to survive their winter hibernation. (其中一个主要问题是，万圣节南瓜的剩余部分经常被已经在挣扎的刺猬吃掉。在11月初，刺猬会尽可能地增重以度过冬眠期。)”可知，刺猬在11月初吃那么多南瓜是为冬天做准备。故选C项。
34．主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Moreover, leftover Halloween pumpkins can contain candles and plastic decorations which can also be fatal to wildlife if mistakenly eaten. The rotting leftover can also attract less popular wildlife, such as rats, to an area. According to The Woodland Trust, the additional nutrients in the pumpkins can negatively affect the soil balance as well. (此外，万圣节剩下的南瓜可能含有蜡烛和塑料装饰品，如果被误食，对野生动物也是致命的。腐烂的剩菜还会吸引不太受欢迎的野生动物，如老鼠，来到一个区域。林地信托基金会表示，南瓜中额外的营养物质也会对土壤平衡产生负面影响。)”可知，本段主要对剩余南瓜的不良影响作进一步解释。故选D项。
35．推理判断题。根据第一段中“While well-meaning pumpkin carvers might think they are doing the local animals groups a kindness, leaving your leftover jack-o’-lantern in the woodland is actually doing more harm than good. (虽然好心的南瓜雕刻者可能认为他们是在为当地的动物群体做一件好事，但把你剩下的南瓜灯丢弃到森林里实际上是弊大于利。)”和最后一段“So what should you do with your beautifully carved pumpkin creation after October 31? Most experts recommend composting (堆肥) it yourself at home if you can, or asking if a local farm will accept it as a donation. You could even try some scientific experiments to produce more energy from the throw-away wasted.(那么，在10月31日之后，你应该如何处理雕刻精美的南瓜呢？大多数专家建议，如果可以的话，可以自己在家里堆肥，或者询问当地农场是否接受捐赠。你甚至可以尝试一些科学实验，从浪费的垃圾中产生更多的能量)”推知，文章建议人们不要把万圣节后剩下的南瓜丢弃到树林里。故选A项。

67．18 years later, 66-year-old Carl booked a taxi to the hospital. He had developed health issues due to old age. He was going to the hospital for some tests. He was waiting outside his house when a taxi pulled over. Carl waved at the young driver. He got in and told the driver to drop him off at the hospital. The driver replied and continued driving. They didn’t talk much during the half-hour drive. Arriving at the hospital, Carl asked the driver how much he should pay.
The driver said all the trips he made to the hospital were free. Carl was surprised and asked why. The driver smiled, “Because when I was little, I had seizure on the road, and a kind taxi driver drove me to the hospital for free and saved my life. My mother told me the driver never charged for trips to the hospital. His kindness inspired me, so I do the same!” Carl’s heart felt lighter and happier and asked the young man’s name. The driver said, “My name is Tyler.” Carl spoke no more, and tears of joy filled his eyes.
