【答案】17. A 18. B 19. C 20. B
【解析】
【原文】Good evening, everyone. I’ve been asked to explain to you in simple terms what the world is facing in the current climate emergency. I’ll explain the crises under five headings, each with a brief explanation.
Firstly, drought. As temperature rises, the land dries up. Farmers have to face increasing problems of growing crops. This may cause shortages of food and drinking water.
Then, flooding. Coastal flooding happens when winds from a storm push water from the ocean onto land. A flash flood is caused by dam breaks or heavy rain. Urban flooding specifically occurs when rainfall damages the local drainage system.
Thirdly, the rising sea level. Melted water from the poles is expected to cause a rise in sea level, which will endanger the world’s coastal cities. In addition, coral reefs will die, and many ocean life forms will disappear.
Fourthly, animal extinction.Over the past thirty years, the Antarctic penguin population has shrunk by two thirds. Up north, polar bears are dying because their habitat, sea ice, is becoming thinner and thinner. Biologist Dr. Ian Stirling fears that polar bears are facing certain extinction.
And lastly, hurricanes. Hurricanes are getting stronger and more frequent because warm air rises rapidly. According to the weather expert James Elsner of Florida State University, storms have been fierce since 1981.

Perry was a smart, good kid: shy, modest, and generally unlikely to cause trouble. He was getting straight A’ s in a challenging and competitive public school honors curriculum. But beneath his academic success, Perry faced a world of troubles, and while it took a while to get to know him, eventually his problems came pouring out.
The problems weren’t what I’d expected though. Perry wasn’t being abused by anyone, he didn’t do drugs, and his family wasn’t always arguing. Rather, at first glance, his problems would seem more like typical adolescent complaints. And they were, in a way.
But it was only as I got to understand him that L realized that Perry’s adolescent problems had grown to the point where they cast a large shadow over much of his day - to - day world. And he wasn’t alone in that aspect.
One big problem was that while Perry was a strong achiever, he was not at all a happy one. “I hate waking up in the morning, because there’s all this stuff I have to do,” he said. “I just keep making lists of things to do and checking them off each day so I can get into a good college.” Once he got started, Perry’s discontent spilled out. “There’s so much to do, and I have to... It’s just stupid !”
Perry was well loved by his parents. But in their efforts to nurture and support him, his parents increased his mental stress: Over time, they had taken on all his household chores, in order to leave hum more time for schoolwork and activities. Perry never really did anything for anyone except use up their time and money, and he knew it. And if he thought about backing off on his schoolwork..., well, look how much his parents were pouring into making it go well. Trapped between anger and guilt, Perry had begun to wither (消沉).
24. What can we infer about Perry from the text ?
A. His parents understood him completely.
B. He was a perfect young man in every aspect.
C. He often helped his parents with the housework.
D. He was stressed despite his good performance in school.
25. Why was Perry unhappy ?
A. Because he had to make lists of things to do every day.
B. Because his parents showered him with too much love.
C. Because he had difficulty achieving remarkable academic success.
D. Because he was stuck between his parents’ expectations and his own will
26. What did Perry think of himself ?
A. He did nothing for his parents.
B. His parents didn’t support him at all.
C. His problem was unusual among his peers.
D. He was gifted enough to enter any university
27. What is the main purpose of this text ?
A. To try to discover the reason for Perry’s stress.
B. To show a good example of an excellent student.
C. To reflect the problems of all students during school.
D. Toduce Perry’s life and his family background
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. A 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。本文讲述成绩优异的Perry受到精神压力的困扰，他在外人看来一切都很完美，表现好，成绩又好，家庭好，可是Perry内心还是存在一种被迫非自愿的努力驱动。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Perry was a smart, good kid: shy, modest, and generally unlikely to cause trouble. He was getting straight A’ s in a challenging and competitive public school honors curriculum. But beneath his academic success, Perry faced a world of troubles, and while it took a while to get to know him, eventually his problems came pouring out.(佩里是个聪明的好孩子：腼腆，谦虚，而且“一般不太会惹麻烦”。在一门充满挑战和竞争的公立学校荣誉课程中，他一直拿A。但在他学术成就的背后，佩里面临着很多麻烦，虽然花了一段时间才了解他，但他的问题最终还是涌了出来)”可推知，Perry尽管他在学校表现很好，但他面临着很多麻烦，所以压力很大。故选D项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“One big problem was that while Perry was a strong achiever, he was not at all a happy one. “I hate waking up in the morning, because there’s all this stuff I have to do,” he said. “I just keep making lists of things to do and checking them off each day so I can get into a good college.” Once he got started, Perry’s discontent spilled out. “There’s so much to do, and I have to... It’s just stupid !”(一个大问题是，虽然佩里是一个很有成就的人，但他一点也不快乐。“我讨厌早上醒来，因为我有很多事情要做，”他说。“我只是不停地把要做的事情列出来，然后每天检查一下，这样我就能上一所好大学。”一开始，佩里的不满情绪就涌了出来。“有这么多事情要做，而且‘我必须……这太愚蠢了!”)”以及最后一段中“Perry was well loved by his parents. But in their efforts to nurture and support him, his parents increased his mental stress: Over time, they had taken on all his household chores, in order to leave hum more time for schoolwork and activities.(佩里深受父母的喜爱。但在努力养育和支持他的过程中，他的父母增加了他的精神压力：随着时间的推移，他们承担了他所有的家务，以便给他更多的时间做功课和参加活动)”可知，Perry的问题来自于自己意愿与“父母”意愿的矛盾，而且彼此缺乏沟通，Perry的压力越堵越多，濒临抑郁。故选D项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Perry never really did anything for anyone except use up their time and money, and he knew it.(佩里从来没有真正为任何人做过任何事，除了浪费他们的时间和金钱，他知道这一点)”可知，Perry认为自己除了让“父母”花费时间和金钱外，并没有为他们做过什么。故选A项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Perry was a smart, good kid: shy, modest, and generally unlikely to cause trouble. He was getting straight A’ s in a challenging and competitive public school honors curriculum. But beneath his academic success, Perry faced a world of troubles, and while it took a while to get to know him, eventually his problems came pouring out.佩里是个聪明的好孩子：腼腆，谦虚，而且“一般不太会惹麻烦”。在一门充满挑战和竞争的公立学校荣誉课程中，他一直拿A。但在他学术成就的背后，佩里面临着很多麻烦，虽然花了一段时间才了解他，但他的问题最终还是涌了出来)”可知，首段介绍Perry的大概情况，成绩好，各方面看似都好，可是进一步了解发现并非如此，Perry大有烦恼，面对必须完成的一项项任务，Perry有一种压迫感，而且难以消解，几乎要堆积成疾，作者进而了解他“父母”对他的学习上的态度和做法发现，家长给孩子学业压力较大，Perry的意志失去了很大的自主性，处于一种被“父母”强迫获得好成绩的困境中，这种压迫感使得他意志消沉。由此推知，写作本文的目的是发掘Perry压力的原因。故选A。
C
Carlos Slim’s proposal that we work a three - day week sounds crazy. But many, in 1922, thought Henry Ford crazy when he announced that his staff would work a five - day week.
Our working week seems normal to us because it is what we all always do. He certainly could be for those he was most concerned about when he made his three - day - week statement at a business conference in Paraguay: the workers who are not ready to retire. As Mr. Slim said, it no longer makes sense for people to stop working in their fifties or sixties when they may still have up to a third of their lives ahead of them. “People are going to have to work for more years, until they are 70 or 75, and just work three days a week - perhaps 11 hours a day.” he said.
Keeping older employees at work makes sense for societies, especially those with a diminishing number of young people who are expected to support long - living retirees.
He appeared to be suggesting that these short - week workers earn the same as they did full - time. That is what happens at Telmex, his Mexican fixed - line phone company, where those qualified for retirement can choose to work four - day weeks on full pay.
Older workers elsewhere might prefer shorter weeks on reduced pay - and eight or nine - hour days rather than 11. Their companies might value keeping their experience while saving money on their salaries. What about everyone else? There are those who are unemployed, or in unstable jobs, who would be delighted to have three secure, well - paid days of work a week.
Shorter weeks don’t work in every job, but they work in more jobs than most tradition - bound managers think. Agreeing to them requires two shifts in management thinking. The first is the realization that much of the time spent in offices is wasted anyway. Second, senior executives need ro understand that the best way to measure people is by the work they produce - not by how much time they spend at their desks.
People living longer, in better health, are changing working life too. Mr. Slim’s idea is in tune with the times.
28. According to paragraph 2 why did Mr. Slim think it unwise for people in their fifties or sixties to retire ?
A. Because they have longer life to live in their future.
B. Because they have children and old parents to support
C. Because they have much interest in their present work.
D. Because they have more experience than young workers.
29. What can we infer from the passage ?
A. The decision of working five days a week by Ford was considered normal in the past.
B. Old people continuing working can reduce young people’s pressure to support their old parents
C. Some companies don’t want their old workers to go on working because they can save money.
D. Much time spent at work is wasted if managers don’t agree to reduce old employees’working time.
30. What does the underlined phrase “in tune with” mean in the last paragraph ?
A. Different from. B. Superior to.
C. Far from. D. Consistent with.
31. What is the best title for this passage ?
A. Retire Or Not, This Is A Question!
B. Shorter Weeks Is Welcome By All
C. Working Three Days A Week: A Great Idea
D. Carlos Slim - Crazy For More Resting Time
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了卡洛斯·斯利姆提出了每周工作三天的观点，虽然人们认为这个想法很疯狂，但是寿命更长、健康状况更好的人在改变工作生活人们认为斯利姆的想法与时俱进。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“As Mr. Slim said, it no longer makes sense for people to stop working in their fifties or sixties when they may still have up to a third of their lives ahead of them.(正如斯利姆先生所说，人们在五六十岁时停止工作没有意义，因为他们可能还有三分之一的人生要走)”可知，斯利姆先生认为五六十岁的人还有很长的未来生活，因此这个时候退休是不明智的，故选A项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Keeping older employees at work makes sense for societies, especially those with a diminishing number of young people who are expected to support long-living retirees.(让年长的员工继续工作对社会来说是有意义的，尤其是那些年轻人越来越少的社会，他们被期望支持长寿的退休人员)”推知，年长的员工继续工作能减少年轻人养老的压力，故选B项。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“People living longer, in better health, are changing working life too. Mr. Slim’s idea is (寿命更长、健康状况更好的人也在改变工作生活。斯利姆的观点是)”可知，现今的人们寿命更长、健康状况更好了，由此可知，斯利姆认为工作时间应该随着时代的变化而变化是与时俱进的。故选D项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Carlos Slim’s proposal that we work a three - day week sounds crazy.(卡洛斯·斯利姆建议我们每周工作三天，这听起来很疯狂)”以及最后一段“People living longer, in better health, are changing working life too. Mr. Slim’s idea is in tune with the times.(寿命更长、健康状况更好的人也在改变工作生活。斯利姆的想法与时俱进)”可知，文章开头提出了卡洛斯·斯利姆的每周三天工作理念，后续段落对此进行了分析论证，最后一段支持这种观点，与C项“Working Three Days A Week : A Great Idea(每周工作三天：好主意！)”表达的含义一致，故选C项。
D
Housing ranks high among the numerous challenges that still need to be overcome before humans can colonize(征服) Mars. The brave pioneers that make the six-month voyage to the Red Planet will need a place to live in as soon as they land. While the best solution would be to have the structures ready before they get there, it has so far been a challenge given that most construction robots have never made it out of the laboratory. Now, there may be a bit of hope thanks to Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s newly revealed Digital Construction Platform (DCP).
The DCP comprises a double arm system that is fitted on a tracked vehicle. As the larger arm moves, the smaller, precision motor robotic arm builds the structure by shooting out the necessary construction material, ranging from insulation foam(绝缘泡沫) to concrete. The team of researchers led by Ph. D. Steven Keating say that unlike other 3-D printers that are limited to building objects that fit within their overall enclosure, DCP’s free moving systems can be used to construct structures of any size.
The team recently demonstrated the DCP’s building skills on an empty field in Mountain View, CA. The robot began by creating a mold with expanding foam that hardens when dry. It then constructed the building, layer by layer, using sensors to raise itself higher as it progressed. The final product was a sturdy “home” that had 50-foot diameter walls and a 12-foot high roof with room for essentials like electricity wires and water pipes to be inserted inside. Even more impressive? It took a mere 14 hours to “print”!
The researchers’ next plan is to make the DCP smart enough to analyze the environment where the structure is going to be built and determine the material densities best suited for the area. However, that’s not even the best part. Future DCP models are going to be solar-powered, autonomous, and, most importantly, capable of sourcing construction components from its surroundings. This means the robot can be sent to remote, disaster-stricken areas, and perhaps even to Mars, to build shelters using whatever material is available.
32. What do we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Housing pioneers on Mars is a reality.
B. Colonizing Mars is out of the question.
C. Building structures on Mars is in the testing phases.
D. Finding a liveable place on Mars is a top priority.
33. How does the DCP differ from other 3-D printers?
A. It consumes less time.
B. It comes in more different sizes.
C. It is more environmentally friendly.
D. It can build more diverse structures.
34. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The successful case of the DCP. B. The working principle of the DCP.
C. The instructions of using the DCP. D. The limitation of the DCP’s function.
35. What might be the biggest highlight of future DCP ?
A. Being powered by solar.
B. Building shelters anywhere.
C. Collecting building materials on site.
D. Analyzing building material densities.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。在过去的十年里，生活在北京的希腊摄影师乔治·杜帕斯一直在拍摄这座城市，捕捉它的美丽，并在网上和展览中分享这些照片。
【56题详解】
考查名词。句意：在过去的十年里，他一直在拍摄这座城市，捕捉它的美丽，并在网上和展览中分享这些照片。根据句意和空格前的“in”并分析句子可知，空格处应该填名词形式，表示在展览中。exhibit一词本身可以作为名词形式，意为展览，也可以填其派生词exhibition，这两个词都是可数名词，此处应填复数形式，故填exhibits/exhibitions。
【57题详解】
考查冠词。句意：“这真正代表了北京——旧与新，完美地融合在一起，”杜帕斯在展示他拍摄的智化寺的照片时说。智化寺是一座精致的明代建筑。根据句意可知，空格处应该填入冠词，且此处泛指“一座精致的明代建筑”，且delicate音素以辅音开头，故应用不定冠词a，故填a。
【58题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：它位于现代办公大楼银河SOHO的前面，以编织的桥梁和环环相扣的通道为特色。根据句意和主句的时态是一般现在时可知，从句也应该用一般现在时，再由从句主语which指代前文的it可知，从句谓语动词应该用第三人称单数形式。故填features。
【59题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：北京拥有丰富的历史遗产，自明朝以来一直是中国的重要传统文化中心。根据句意并分析句子可知，空格处是该句子的谓语部分。由时间状语“since the Ming Dynasty”可知，句子应该用现在完成时，再由主语“Beijing”可知，谓语动词应该用第三人称单数形式。故填has been。
【60题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：同时，他也惊叹于这座把高端商业和各行业融为一体的现代化城市。根据句意和所给动词“combine”分析句子可知，空格处应该填入combine的非谓语形式作定语，修饰前面的名词“city”，因为名词“city”和动词“combine”之间是主动关系，所以应该用现在分词combining作定语。故填combining。
【61题详解】
考查副词。句意：看到一座城市以难以置信的速度在发展着，还投入如此大的精力来保护它的过去，这让人很着迷。这就是我决定在这里追求事业的原因。所以此空应该用副词修饰形容词rapid，且此处意为“令人难以置信地”，故应用副词“unbelievably”修作状语。故填unbelievably。
【62题详解】
考查连接副词。句意：同上。根据句意并分析句子可知，空格后的部分是一个表语从句，空格处应该填入一个连接词引导表语从句，且意义为“为什么”，所以应该用连接副词why。故填why。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：致力投身于他在中国作为一个摄影师的工作，Doupas希望充当中西方文化的桥梁。根据句子分析可知，此处作状语，主语Doupas与dedicate之间为被动关系，故应用dedicate的过去分词形式作状语。故填Dedicated。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意：同上。根据句意，空格处应该填入一个介词意为“作为”，故填as。
【65题详解】
考查形容词。句意：我原来在北京只是偶尔停留现在已经变成永久居住了，我现在把北京称作家，我会继续和全世界分享关于中国的摄影作品的。根据句意可知，空格处应该填修饰名词“stay”的形容词，且意为“偶尔的”，故填occasional。

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。
What It Means to Serve
I didn’t continue college after graduation. I moved out of my family. With little work experience, I served as a waitress. But during the five years’ labor, I found myself burning calories running about only for a tip.
I had had enough so I moved to a smaller town hoping to pursue a college degree. I promised I would never serve people again - at least not in such way. It was time to serve myself. Luckily, I received a position as an afterschool program tutor at a local middle school, with the added benefit of completing English education degree. I had the opportunity to go big! The kid would need me - a role model and a trustworthy friend, I believed.
But my first day was welcomed by the students’ indifference (冷漠). The desks were messy and the whole room smelled of dirty gym socks. My excitement began to die down. I doubted whether the new job was a mistake. The playground activity was deafening while homework time was not much better. After my repeated persistence, they finally turned off the playground mode. But just a few minutes passed when I noticed two kids quarreling in the corner.
I supposed it was another little incident but one kid named Jeremy bothered me. He shouted at me for coming at him. And when I asked them to return to their seats, he slammed (用力摔) his backpack and grew mad as I tried to urge him to take the right attitude. “I don’t like you, homework and this afterschool program! All you guys do is yell at me. I’m never coming back.” he walked out of the classroom, slamming the door.
Naturally, I was so frustrated (挫败的). I wondered why I am here. Most kids disrespected me! I paused to take a deep breath. Then suddenly I thought to myself, “You said you would never serve people again, but you don’t understand what these kids really need.” At that moment, I remembered my middle-school life. I always had a poor attitude, never did my schoolwork, repeatedly got into fights, and disrespected my elders.
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。
Realizing I was not different, I walked out into the hall and caught up with Jeremy.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At that moment, my heart broke for this boy and his family life.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Realizing I was not different, I walked out into the hall and caught up with Jeremy. “I’m sorry, Jeremy. Could I have a talk with you?” I said, trying to be calm and sincere. He turned around, looked at me for a moment and nodded, “OK”. “Jeremy, could you tell me what have happened to you?” I asked. Hesitantly, Jeremy began to share with me about his story. From what he said, I knew his mother was killed in a car accident three months before. Worse still, his father, who was in deep sorrow, lost his job at the same time. After that, his father became bad-tempered and often shouted at him, ignoring all his requests. As he told me what was happening, he began to cry.
At that moment, my heart broke for this boy and his family life. I gently hugged him and patted him on the back. Then I walked him home and encouraged him to face life in a positive way. After that, I often chatted with Jeremy and helped him deal with his troubles. I even paid a visit to his father several times. As time went by, Jeremy behaved better and better and smiles often appeared on his face. At the end of the program, Jeremy hugged me tightly and thanked me again and again. At that moment, I suddenly realized what it meant to serve --- Get to know a person from the bottom of your heart and give what he needs.

【答案】17. A 18. B 19. C 20. B
【解析】
【原文】Good evening, everyone. I’ve been asked to explain to you in simple terms what the world is facing in the current climate emergency. I’ll explain the crises under five headings, each with a brief explanation.
Firstly, drought. As temperature rises, the land dries up. Farmers have to face increasing problems of growing crops. This may cause shortages of food and drinking water.
Then, flooding. Coastal flooding happens when winds from a storm push water from the ocean onto land. A flash flood is caused by dam breaks or heavy rain. Urban flooding specifically occurs when rainfall damages the local drainage system.
Thirdly, the rising sea level. Melted water from the poles is expected to cause a rise in sea level, which will endanger the world’s coastal cities. In addition, coral reefs will die, and many ocean life forms will disappear.
Fourthly, animal extinction.Over the past thirty years, the Antarctic penguin population has shrunk by two thirds. Up north, polar bears are dying because their habitat, sea ice, is becoming thinner and thinner. Biologist Dr. Ian Stirling fears that polar bears are facing certain extinction.
And lastly, hurricanes. Hurricanes are getting stronger and more frequent because warm air rises rapidly. According to the weather expert James Elsner of Florida State University, storms have been fierce since 1981.

Perry was a smart, good kid: shy, modest, and generally unlikely to cause trouble. He was getting straight A’ s in a challenging and competitive public school honors curriculum. But beneath his academic success, Perry faced a world of troubles, and while it took a while to get to know him, eventually his problems came pouring out.
The problems weren’t what I’d expected though. Perry wasn’t being abused by anyone, he didn’t do drugs, and his family wasn’t always arguing. Rather, at first glance, his problems would seem more like typical adolescent complaints. And they were, in a way.
But it was only as I got to understand him that L realized that Perry’s adolescent problems had grown to the point where they cast a large shadow over much of his day - to - day world. And he wasn’t alone in that aspect.
One big problem was that while Perry was a strong achiever, he was not at all a happy one. “I hate waking up in the morning, because there’s all this stuff I have to do,” he said. “I just keep making lists of things to do and checking them off each day so I can get into a good college.” Once he got started, Perry’s discontent spilled out. “There’s so much to do, and I have to... It’s just stupid !”
Perry was well loved by his parents. But in their efforts to nurture and support him, his parents increased his mental stress: Over time, they had taken on all his household chores, in order to leave hum more time for schoolwork and activities. Perry never really did anything for anyone except use up their time and money, and he knew it. And if he thought about backing off on his schoolwork..., well, look how much his parents were pouring into making it go well. Trapped between anger and guilt, Perry had begun to wither (消沉).
24. What can we infer about Perry from the text ?
A. His parents understood him completely.
B. He was a perfect young man in every aspect.
C. He often helped his parents with the housework.
D. He was stressed despite his good performance in school.
25. Why was Perry unhappy ?
A. Because he had to make lists of things to do every day.
B. Because his parents showered him with too much love.
C. Because he had difficulty achieving remarkable academic success.
D. Because he was stuck between his parents’ expectations and his own will
26. What did Perry think of himself ?
A. He did nothing for his parents.
B. His parents didn’t support him at all.
C. His problem was unusual among his peers.
D. He was gifted enough to enter any university
27. What is the main purpose of this text ?
A. To try to discover the reason for Perry’s stress.
B. To show a good example of an excellent student.
C. To reflect the problems of all students during school.
D. Toduce Perry’s life and his family background
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. A 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。本文讲述成绩优异的Perry受到精神压力的困扰，他在外人看来一切都很完美，表现好，成绩又好，家庭好，可是Perry内心还是存在一种被迫非自愿的努力驱动。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Perry was a smart, good kid: shy, modest, and generally unlikely to cause trouble. He was getting straight A’ s in a challenging and competitive public school honors curriculum. But beneath his academic success, Perry faced a world of troubles, and while it took a while to get to know him, eventually his problems came pouring out.(佩里是个聪明的好孩子：腼腆，谦虚，而且“一般不太会惹麻烦”。在一门充满挑战和竞争的公立学校荣誉课程中，他一直拿A。但在他学术成就的背后，佩里面临着很多麻烦，虽然花了一段时间才了解他，但他的问题最终还是涌了出来)”可推知，Perry尽管他在学校表现很好，但他面临着很多麻烦，所以压力很大。故选D项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“One big problem was that while Perry was a strong achiever, he was not at all a happy one. “I hate waking up in the morning, because there’s all this stuff I have to do,” he said. “I just keep making lists of things to do and checking them off each day so I can get into a good college.” Once he got started, Perry’s discontent spilled out. “There’s so much to do, and I have to... It’s just stupid !”(一个大问题是，虽然佩里是一个很有成就的人，但他一点也不快乐。“我讨厌早上醒来，因为我有很多事情要做，”他说。“我只是不停地把要做的事情列出来，然后每天检查一下，这样我就能上一所好大学。”一开始，佩里的不满情绪就涌了出来。“有这么多事情要做，而且‘我必须……这太愚蠢了!”)”以及最后一段中“Perry was well loved by his parents. But in their efforts to nurture and support him, his parents increased his mental stress: Over time, they had taken on all his household chores, in order to leave hum more time for schoolwork and activities.(佩里深受父母的喜爱。但在努力养育和支持他的过程中，他的父母增加了他的精神压力：随着时间的推移，他们承担了他所有的家务，以便给他更多的时间做功课和参加活动)”可知，Perry的问题来自于自己意愿与“父母”意愿的矛盾，而且彼此缺乏沟通，Perry的压力越堵越多，濒临抑郁。故选D项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Perry never really did anything for anyone except use up their time and money, and he knew it.(佩里从来没有真正为任何人做过任何事，除了浪费他们的时间和金钱，他知道这一点)”可知，Perry认为自己除了让“父母”花费时间和金钱外，并没有为他们做过什么。故选A项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Perry was a smart, good kid: shy, modest, and generally unlikely to cause trouble. He was getting straight A’ s in a challenging and competitive public school honors curriculum. But beneath his academic success, Perry faced a world of troubles, and while it took a while to get to know him, eventually his problems came pouring out.佩里是个聪明的好孩子：腼腆，谦虚，而且“一般不太会惹麻烦”。在一门充满挑战和竞争的公立学校荣誉课程中，他一直拿A。但在他学术成就的背后，佩里面临着很多麻烦，虽然花了一段时间才了解他，但他的问题最终还是涌了出来)”可知，首段介绍Perry的大概情况，成绩好，各方面看似都好，可是进一步了解发现并非如此，Perry大有烦恼，面对必须完成的一项项任务，Perry有一种压迫感，而且难以消解，几乎要堆积成疾，作者进而了解他“父母”对他的学习上的态度和做法发现，家长给孩子学业压力较大，Perry的意志失去了很大的自主性，处于一种被“父母”强迫获得好成绩的困境中，这种压迫感使得他意志消沉。由此推知，写作本文的目的是发掘Perry压力的原因。故选A。
C
Carlos Slim’s proposal that we work a three - day week sounds crazy. But many, in 1922, thought Henry Ford crazy when he announced that his staff would work a five - day week.
Our working week seems normal to us because it is what we all always do. He certainly could be for those he was most concerned about when he made his three - day - week statement at a business conference in Paraguay: the workers who are not ready to retire. As Mr. Slim said, it no longer makes sense for people to stop working in their fifties or sixties when they may still have up to a third of their lives ahead of them. “People are going to have to work for more years, until they are 70 or 75, and just work three days a week - perhaps 11 hours a day.” he said.
Keeping older employees at work makes sense for societies, especially those with a diminishing number of young people who are expected to support long - living retirees.
He appeared to be suggesting that these short - week workers earn the same as they did full - time. That is what happens at Telmex, his Mexican fixed - line phone company, where those qualified for retirement can choose to work four - day weeks on full pay.
Older workers elsewhere might prefer shorter weeks on reduced pay - and eight or nine - hour days rather than 11. Their companies might value keeping their experience while saving money on their salaries. What about everyone else? There are those who are unemployed, or in unstable jobs, who would be delighted to have three secure, well - paid days of work a week.
Shorter weeks don’t work in every job, but they work in more jobs than most tradition - bound managers think. Agreeing to them requires two shifts in management thinking. The first is the realization that much of the time spent in offices is wasted anyway. Second, senior executives need ro understand that the best way to measure people is by the work they produce - not by how much time they spend at their desks.
People living longer, in better health, are changing working life too. Mr. Slim’s idea is in tune with the times.
28. According to paragraph 2 why did Mr. Slim think it unwise for people in their fifties or sixties to retire ?
A. Because they have longer life to live in their future.
B. Because they have children and old parents to support
C. Because they have much interest in their present work.
D. Because they have more experience than young workers.
29. What can we infer from the passage ?
A. The decision of working five days a week by Ford was considered normal in the past.
B. Old people continuing working can reduce young people’s pressure to support their old parents
C. Some companies don’t want their old workers to go on working because they can save money.
D. Much time spent at work is wasted if managers don’t agree to reduce old employees’working time.
30. What does the underlined phrase “in tune with” mean in the last paragraph ?
A. Different from. B. Superior to.
C. Far from. D. Consistent with.
31. What is the best title for this passage ?
A. Retire Or Not, This Is A Question!
B. Shorter Weeks Is Welcome By All
C. Working Three Days A Week: A Great Idea
D. Carlos Slim - Crazy For More Resting Time
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了卡洛斯·斯利姆提出了每周工作三天的观点，虽然人们认为这个想法很疯狂，但是寿命更长、健康状况更好的人在改变工作生活人们认为斯利姆的想法与时俱进。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“As Mr. Slim said, it no longer makes sense for people to stop working in their fifties or sixties when they may still have up to a third of their lives ahead of them.(正如斯利姆先生所说，人们在五六十岁时停止工作没有意义，因为他们可能还有三分之一的人生要走)”可知，斯利姆先生认为五六十岁的人还有很长的未来生活，因此这个时候退休是不明智的，故选A项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Keeping older employees at work makes sense for societies, especially those with a diminishing number of young people who are expected to support long-living retirees.(让年长的员工继续工作对社会来说是有意义的，尤其是那些年轻人越来越少的社会，他们被期望支持长寿的退休人员)”推知，年长的员工继续工作能减少年轻人养老的压力，故选B项。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“People living longer, in better health, are changing working life too. Mr. Slim’s idea is (寿命更长、健康状况更好的人也在改变工作生活。斯利姆的观点是)”可知，现今的人们寿命更长、健康状况更好了，由此可知，斯利姆认为工作时间应该随着时代的变化而变化是与时俱进的。故选D项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Carlos Slim’s proposal that we work a three - day week sounds crazy.(卡洛斯·斯利姆建议我们每周工作三天，这听起来很疯狂)”以及最后一段“People living longer, in better health, are changing working life too. Mr. Slim’s idea is in tune with the times.(寿命更长、健康状况更好的人也在改变工作生活。斯利姆的想法与时俱进)”可知，文章开头提出了卡洛斯·斯利姆的每周三天工作理念，后续段落对此进行了分析论证，最后一段支持这种观点，与C项“Working Three Days A Week : A Great Idea(每周工作三天：好主意！)”表达的含义一致，故选C项。
D
Housing ranks high among the numerous challenges that still need to be overcome before humans can colonize(征服) Mars. The brave pioneers that make the six-month voyage to the Red Planet will need a place to live in as soon as they land. While the best solution would be to have the structures ready before they get there, it has so far been a challenge given that most construction robots have never made it out of the laboratory. Now, there may be a bit of hope thanks to Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s newly revealed Digital Construction Platform (DCP).
The DCP comprises a double arm system that is fitted on a tracked vehicle. As the larger arm moves, the smaller, precision motor robotic arm builds the structure by shooting out the necessary construction material, ranging from insulation foam(绝缘泡沫) to concrete. The team of researchers led by Ph. D. Steven Keating say that unlike other 3-D printers that are limited to building objects that fit within their overall enclosure, DCP’s free moving systems can be used to construct structures of any size.
The team recently demonstrated the DCP’s building skills on an empty field in Mountain View, CA. The robot began by creating a mold with expanding foam that hardens when dry. It then constructed the building, layer by layer, using sensors to raise itself higher as it progressed. The final product was a sturdy “home” that had 50-foot diameter walls and a 12-foot high roof with room for essentials like electricity wires and water pipes to be inserted inside. Even more impressive? It took a mere 14 hours to “print”!
The researchers’ next plan is to make the DCP smart enough to analyze the environment where the structure is going to be built and determine the material densities best suited for the area. However, that’s not even the best part. Future DCP models are going to be solar-powered, autonomous, and, most importantly, capable of sourcing construction components from its surroundings. This means the robot can be sent to remote, disaster-stricken areas, and perhaps even to Mars, to build shelters using whatever material is available.
32. What do we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Housing pioneers on Mars is a reality.
B. Colonizing Mars is out of the question.
C. Building structures on Mars is in the testing phases.
D. Finding a liveable place on Mars is a top priority.
33. How does the DCP differ from other 3-D printers?
A. It consumes less time.
B. It comes in more different sizes.
C. It is more environmentally friendly.
D. It can build more diverse structures.
34. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The successful case of the DCP. B. The working principle of the DCP.
C. The instructions of using the DCP. D. The limitation of the DCP’s function.
35. What might be the biggest highlight of future DCP ?
A. Being powered by solar.
B. Building shelters anywhere.
C. Collecting building materials on site.
D. Analyzing building material densities.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了麻省理工学院(Massachusetts Institute of Technology)最新公布的数字建设平台(DCP)将如何解决在火星上建房子的问题的。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。第一段的“While the best solution would be to have the structures ready before they get there, it has so far been a challenge given that most construction robots have never made it out of the laboratory.(虽然最好的解决方案是在结构物到达之前做好准备，但鉴于大多数建筑机器人从未走出实验室，这一直是一个挑战)”推知，在火星上建造建筑物正处于测试阶段。故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“...unlike other 3—D printers that are limited to building objects that fit within their overall enclosure, DCP’s free moving system can be used to construct structures of any size.(……与其他仅限于构建适合其整体外壳的物体的3D打印机不同，DCP的自由移动系统可用于构建任何尺寸的结构)”可知，与其他3D打印不同，它可以建造更多样化的房屋。故选D项。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The team recently demonstrated the DCP’s building skills on an empty field in Mountain View, CA.(该团队最近在加利福尼亚州山景城的一块空地上展示了DCP的建筑技能)”可知，本段主要介绍了DCP的成功案例。故选A项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“most importantly, capable of sourcing construction components from its surroundings. This means the robot can be sent to remote, disaster-stricken areas, and perhaps even to Mars, to build shelters using whatever material is available.(最重要的是，能够从周边采购建筑构件。这意味着机器人可以被送到偏远的灾区，甚至火星，用任何可用的材料建造居所)”可知，未来DCP的最大亮点是可以现场收集建筑材料。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了疫情影响下家的用途的变化以及未来可能的公寓设计方向。
【36题详解】
根据前句“Our homes are no longer single-purpose spaces. Instead they now serve as offices, gyms, workshops, classrooms, etc.(我们的家不再是单一用途的空间，而是会有办公室、健身房、工作室和教室等功能。)”可知，未来的家会有在设计上的新变化。C项“No wonder architects have predicted various advanced home designs.(难怪许多建筑师预测了许多先进的房屋设计。)”符合语境。故选C。
【37题详解】
根据前句“A better entrance will catch on.(一个更好的大门将会流行起来。)”可知，这一部分讨论的内容是大门。A项“An entrance isn’t necessarily a separate room.(大门不一定是单独的房间。)”符合上下文语境。故选A。
【38题详解】
根据后句“When thoughtfully designed, the dining rooms can quickly alter from dining mode to working mode.(经过精心设计，餐厅可以快速从用餐模式切换到工作模式。)”以及“Moreover, room sizes could also change to create chances for adaptation.(此外，房间的大小也可以改变以创造更多的适应性的机会。)”和示例中的“For example, a windowless alcove(壁凹)can be closed off with sliding glass doors.(例如，无窗壁龛可以用滑动玻璃门关闭。)”可知，这部分内容是关于房间的功能和大小的灵活性变化。B项“More flexible spaces will become a trend.(更多的灵活空间会是一个趋势。)”符合语境。故选B。
【39题详解】
根据本段第二句“After spending so much time indoors, having access to fresh air and nature at home is likely to become essential.(在室内呆了这么长时间后，能在家里接触新鲜空气和大自然变得至关重要。)”和前句“One way to provide a closer connection to nature may be with larger courtyard gardens.(一种和大自然更亲密接触的方式是拥有更大的庭院花园。)”推知，空处陈述房屋有利于接近大自然的设计。F项“Or it could be accomplished with more balconies with planting areas.(或者可以用更多有种植面积的阳台来实现。)”是接触自然的另外一种方式。符合语境。故选F。
【40题详解】
根据本段第一句“Advanced technology will be adopted.(将采用先进技术。)”和后文“You’ll be able to talk to the elevator.(你可以和电梯说话。)”和“Or your door will unlock itself when you come home(或者你回家时候门会自己打开)”可知，这段是在讲关于新科技的使用，而使用语音指令和门自动上锁的这种高科技方式的原因就是疫情以来人们希望减少接触事物表面、对于病毒越来越觉醒的防范意识。所以选项D“There is growing awareness of reducing touching surfaces to avoid viruses.(人们越来越意识到减少接触表面以避免感染病毒)”符合上下文语境。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。在过去的十年里，生活在北京的希腊摄影师乔治·杜帕斯一直在拍摄这座城市，捕捉它的美丽，并在网上和展览中分享这些照片。
【56题详解】
考查名词。句意：在过去的十年里，他一直在拍摄这座城市，捕捉它的美丽，并在网上和展览中分享这些照片。根据句意和空格前的“in”并分析句子可知，空格处应该填名词形式，表示在展览中。exhibit一词本身可以作为名词形式，意为展览，也可以填其派生词exhibition，这两个词都是可数名词，此处应填复数形式，故填exhibits/exhibitions。
【57题详解】
考查冠词。句意：“这真正代表了北京——旧与新，完美地融合在一起，”杜帕斯在展示他拍摄的智化寺的照片时说。智化寺是一座精致的明代建筑。根据句意可知，空格处应该填入冠词，且此处泛指“一座精致的明代建筑”，且delicate音素以辅音开头，故应用不定冠词a，故填a。
【58题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：它位于现代办公大楼银河SOHO的前面，以编织的桥梁和环环相扣的通道为特色。根据句意和主句的时态是一般现在时可知，从句也应该用一般现在时，再由从句主语which指代前文的it可知，从句谓语动词应该用第三人称单数形式。故填features。
【59题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：北京拥有丰富的历史遗产，自明朝以来一直是中国的重要传统文化中心。根据句意并分析句子可知，空格处是该句子的谓语部分。由时间状语“since the Ming Dynasty”可知，句子应该用现在完成时，再由主语“Beijing”可知，谓语动词应该用第三人称单数形式。故填has been。
【60题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：同时，他也惊叹于这座把高端商业和各行业融为一体的现代化城市。根据句意和所给动词“combine”分析句子可知，空格处应该填入combine的非谓语形式作定语，修饰前面的名词“city”，因为名词“city”和动词“combine”之间是主动关系，所以应该用现在分词combining作定语。故填combining。
【61题详解】
考查副词。句意：看到一座城市以难以置信的速度在发展着，还投入如此大的精力来保护它的过去，这让人很着迷。这就是我决定在这里追求事业的原因。所以此空应该用副词修饰形容词rapid，且此处意为“令人难以置信地”，故应用副词“unbelievably”修作状语。故填unbelievably。
【62题详解】
考查连接副词。句意：同上。根据句意并分析句子可知，空格后的部分是一个表语从句，空格处应该填入一个连接词引导表语从句，且意义为“为什么”，所以应该用连接副词why。故填why。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：致力投身于他在中国作为一个摄影师的工作，Doupas希望充当中西方文化的桥梁。根据句子分析可知，此处作状语，主语Doupas与dedicate之间为被动关系，故应用dedicate的过去分词形式作状语。故填Dedicated。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意：同上。根据句意，空格处应该填入一个介词意为“作为”，故填as。
【65题详解】
考查形容词。句意：我原来在北京只是偶尔停留现在已经变成永久居住了，我现在把北京称作家，我会继续和全世界分享关于中国的摄影作品的。根据句意可知，空格处应该填修饰名词“stay”的形容词，且意为“偶尔的”，故填occasional。

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。
What It Means to Serve
I didn’t continue college after graduation. I moved out of my family. With little work experience, I served as a waitress. But during the five years’ labor, I found myself burning calories running about only for a tip.
I had had enough so I moved to a smaller town hoping to pursue a college degree. I promised I would never serve people again - at least not in such way. It was time to serve myself. Luckily, I received a position as an afterschool program tutor at a local middle school, with the added benefit of completing English education degree. I had the opportunity to go big! The kid would need me - a role model and a trustworthy friend, I believed.
But my first day was welcomed by the students’ indifference (冷漠). The desks were messy and the whole room smelled of dirty gym socks. My excitement began to die down. I doubted whether the new job was a mistake. The playground activity was deafening while homework time was not much better. After my repeated persistence, they finally turned off the playground mode. But just a few minutes passed when I noticed two kids quarreling in the corner.
I supposed it was another little incident but one kid named Jeremy bothered me. He shouted at me for coming at him. And when I asked them to return to their seats, he slammed (用力摔) his backpack and grew mad as I tried to urge him to take the right attitude. “I don’t like you, homework and this afterschool program! All you guys do is yell at me. I’m never coming back.” he walked out of the classroom, slamming the door.
Naturally, I was so frustrated (挫败的). I wondered why I am here. Most kids disrespected me! I paused to take a deep breath. Then suddenly I thought to myself, “You said you would never serve people again, but you don’t understand what these kids really need.” At that moment, I remembered my middle-school life. I always had a poor attitude, never did my schoolwork, repeatedly got into fights, and disrespected my elders.
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。
Realizing I was not different, I walked out into the hall and caught up with Jeremy.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At that moment, my heart broke for this boy and his family life.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Realizing I was not different, I walked out into the hall and caught up with Jeremy. “I’m sorry, Jeremy. Could I have a talk with you?” I said, trying to be calm and sincere. He turned around, looked at me for a moment and nodded, “OK”. “Jeremy, could you tell me what have happened to you?” I asked. Hesitantly, Jeremy began to share with me about his story. From what he said, I knew his mother was killed in a car accident three months before. Worse still, his father, who was in deep sorrow, lost his job at the same time. After that, his father became bad-tempered and often shouted at him, ignoring all his requests. As he told me what was happening, he began to cry.
At that moment, my heart broke for this boy and his family life. I gently hugged him and patted him on the back. Then I walked him home and encouraged him to face life in a positive way. After that, I often chatted with Jeremy and helped him deal with his troubles. I even paid a visit to his father several times. As time went by, Jeremy behaved better and better and smiles often appeared on his face. At the end of the program, Jeremy hugged me tightly and thanked me again and again. At that moment, I suddenly realized what it meant to serve --- Get to know a person from the bottom of your heart and give what he needs.
