阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Treasure Hunt Through Modern-Day Ruins
Urban exploration of abandoned man-made structures became popular in the 1990s when modern society was fast forwarding into the next century. Left behind were relics of human civilization. Far away from modernization, rusted in air, tangled in weeds and vines (藤蔓), ruins tell forgotten tales and sometimes become history in and of themselves.
Punch Buggy Scrapyard
MOAB, UTAH
Vintage car lovers won’t want to miss this huge car disposal yard, the impressive open-air TomTom’s Volkswagen graveyard—a father-and-son cooperation began in 1961 with eight cars. From buses to Beetles to Karmann Ghias to Squarebacks, hundreds of cars, car windows, doors and tires form a rainbow colored fleet contrasting with the dry yellow ground.
Game of Thrones’
End KUPARI, CROATIA
Six miles east of Dubrovnik, one of the main filming locations of the hit series Game of Thrones’ King’s Landing, is a bay of abandoned hotels that witnessed Croatia’s real power play. It was once a seaside resort for the military elite before the Yugoslav army destroyed it during the Croatian War in the 1990s. What exists today at the complex of former glory are overgrown weeds, graffiti and rusty remains.
Once Upon a Gold
ATHENS
Stadiums that once housed tears and sweat, cheers and boos during the 2004 Olympic games are now left for weeds. The beach volleyball arena, aquatics center and other venues were abandoned because of little local interest and lack of planning when the $15 billion grand building was under construction.
Twining Romance
QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA
Nearly a century ago, Spanish sugarcane cutter José Paronella wanted to build a castle in the rainforest for his wife. The resulting wonderland—Paronella Park—with vines twining on stone pillars and moss(苔藓) stretching out from cracks has been open to the public since 1935. Its current owners are devoted to “maintaining and preserving” the primitive beauty of this famous tourist attraction with 7,500 flora and fauna (动植物).
21. Which place might interest a fan of old cars?

B
Born with severe hearing loss, Li has found her way to communicate with the world through painting. Drawing was not only her way of coping with a lonely childhood, but has also opened for her a door to creativity and a way of expression. Moreover, painting led Li to meet her husband Hu Shiqun, who lost his hearing due to medication.
After graduation, Li got a job as a typist. Decent job as it was, Li was not happy because the previous bad feelings came back. In March 2016, Li quit the job and joined her husband’s company to be a wall painter.
From then on, in many parks and scenic spots in Hunan Province, the couple have created large-scale murals (壁画) and interactive pavement painting. Under their brushes, the pavements are transformed into fantastical scenes. For Li, their creations can make art more accessible to the public and become a way for them to connect with the world. Now Li has apprentices (学徒) and coaches more and more newcomers on how to create large-scale murals. Besides, Li and her husband have set up a studio in Shanghai to seek more business opportunities.
Although they are just a small number among the country’s 27 million hearing-impaired population, Li hopes that their stories can inspire more people facing similar battles to build their own careers and achieve their goals, regardless of how tough it may be.
According to Li, “Painting brushes can help me create a colorful world in my imagination, telling my thoughts on paper, instead of through voices. My husband and I want to introduce painting to more people like us, helping them to fight social prejudice that we can not fully participate in social activities.”
24. Why did Li feel unhappy as a typist?
A. Because the job was demanding.
B. Because she made no friends.
C. Because she had to leave her husband.
D. Because she felt lonely again.
25. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The couple’s great impact on wall painting.
B. The couple’s achievements as wall painters.
C. The couple’s ambition as wall painters.
D. The couple’s creations of wall painting.
26. What is Li’s hope for hearing-impaired people?
A. They can create an equal world.
B. They can tolerate social prejudice.
C. They can use drawing to cope with loneliness.
D. They can persevere with their goals despite adversity.
27. Which of the following can best describe Li?
A. Selfless and outgoing. B. Caring and determined.
C. Optimistic and humorous. D. Honest and innovative.
C
The topic of China’s “slash youth” has fueled heated debate on social media recently, drawing attention to the diverse pursuits of the younger generation.
The slash youth, which could also be called slashers or slash-generation — means those who refuse to be defined or bound by just one personal identity. They are keen to present themselves as multiple and sometimes distinct identities, such as a nurse and model, a teacher and stand-up comedian, and an engineer and band player. Rather than material comforts, they pursue meaningful achievement.
A diverse career can enable them to develop new experiences and talents as well as social and professional networks, leading to greater flexibility in life and work, recognition and satisfaction.
A study on “slash youth” published in the China Youth Research magazine analyzes the background of this phenomenon: with part of modern society’s structured organization and stability norms (规范) are broken, flexible labor markets and structural unemployment has emerged, dispelling the sense of job security of the young people in employment. Young people also face the dilemma of self-actualization(自我实现), including the sense of powerlessness, lost sense of value and lack of self- identity in the profession, which forces them to re-find the meaning of work.
“The ‘slash life’ shows that our society is becoming more and more diversified and inclusive(包罗万象的), and it welcomes everyone’s self- fulfillment,” said Shi Yanrong, an associate researcher from Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences. “Young people no longer have to rely on work and money for their sense of self-worth. They tend to create their own identities.” The researcher added that against the background that people have multiple interests and are willing to pay for these interests nowadays, the “slash life” of the youth would drive the growth of a new economy, just as animation culture affected the market.
28. What attracts younger generation to pursue multiple identities?
A. Meaningful self-fulfillment. B. Public concern.
C. Booming job market. D. Material comforts.
29. What does the underlined word “dispelling” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Highlighting. B. Stimulating. C. Removing. D. Increasing.
30. What does Shi Yanrong think of the slash life?
A. It enables young people to earn high incomes.
B. It inspires young people’s creativity at work.
C. It increases people’s confidence in young generation.
D. It reflects the increasing tolerance of the society.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Slash Life: A flexible labor market
B. Slash Life: A journey of hunting for jobs
C. Slash Youth: A generation with diverse identities
D. Slash Youth: A generation lacking the sense of job security
D
Honeybees are in trouble. While they’ re crucial for promoting biodiversity and producing food for healthy human diets, honeybees face many threats, including habitat loss, climate change, air pollution and disease-causing organisms.
But now, there’s hope for helping honeybees fight back against one of the many stressors they face, a deadly infectious disease known as American foulbrood. To fight the disease, the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved for use the world’s first honeybee vaccine (疫苗), developed by Dalan Animal Health.
Bacteria called Paenibacillus larvae cause American foulbrood, which kills honeybees while they are in the pupal(蛹的) or pre-pupal stage. Until now, there was no “safe and sustainable” way to prevent American foulbrood. The only treatment involved antibiotics(抗生素), which are expensive, have limited effectiveness and take lots of time and energy for beekeepers to apply. To stop the spread, beekeepers are often forced to burn infected bees. That makes the vaccine a game changer.
“Our vaccine is a breakthrough in protecting honeybees,” says Annette Kleiser, CEO of Dalan Animal Health. “We are ready to change how we care for insects, impacting food production on a global level.”
Beekeepers will mix the vaccine, which contains dead P. larvae bacteria cells, into the food that worker bees eat. Then, when the worker bees produce their milky royal jelly (蜂王浆), the queen will eat it and the vaccine. Then, the vaccine will protect her developing offspring from the disease.
Under a conditional license from the USDA, Dalan Animal Health now plans to distribute limited amounts of the vaccine to commercial beekeepers. From there, they hope to offer it for sale throughout the U.S. sometime this year.
The federal agriculture agency awards conditional licenses to products that meet an emergency, situation, limited market, local situation or special circumstance. The USDA requires products that receive these types of licenses to be pure and safe, and have a reasonable expectation of effectiveness. Generally, conditional licenses come with restrictions and cover a limited period of time. Once that period ends, the agency evaluates the product’s effectiveness to determine whether to renew the conditional license or award a regular product license.
32. What’s the function of the first paragraph?
A. To stress the importance of honeybees.
B. To lead to the topic of the passage.
C. To list the threats honeybees face.
D. To arouse readers’ interest.
33. Why is the vaccine called a game changer?
A. Because it has changed the way we care for insects.
B. Because it’s the only treatment for American foulbrood.
C. Because it breaks through the limitations of the former treatment.
D. Because the previous treatment has no effectiveness.
34. What does the “developing offspring” refer to in Paragraph 5?
A. Queen bees. B. Worker bees.
C. Adult bees. D. Young bees.
35. What do we know about “conditional licenses” in the last two paragraphs?
A. They promote the commercial success of honeybee vaccine.
B. They guarantee the full effectiveness of products.
C. They can be renewed with no strings attached.
D. They are in effect within a period of time.

How to write tip-top articles
Articles, like all pieces of writing, can be divided into three sections, a beginning, a middle and an end.
The middle is the biggest part, and from the reader’s point of view it’s the most important-it is where the content lies. 36 It tends to be just a straightforward list of facts or events in time order.
37 From the writer’s point of view, they need the most thought. Your opening paragraph has to grab the reader’s attention and pull them into piece that follows. It must be consistent with article as a whole and flow seamlessly (连贯流畅地) into it. Beginning give you a chance to shine as a writer. 38
Endings are as important as introduction, and for the same reason. They are your last chance to impress readers and editors. 39 This can be done by summarizing what’s gone before or looking towards the future. It can work particularly well stylistically(文体上) if the end mirrors the beginning in some way.
The best way to get good at intros and endings is to read a lot of them in a wide variety of magazines and newspapers. 40 Your version will be different because the subject matter will be different.
All the above considered, you are bound to write excellent and impressive articles.
A. It’s also the easiest bit to write.
B. You will keep your writing fresh.
C. Beginnings, by contrast, can be more difficult to do well.
D. If you seize it, the editors may keep coming back to you with more work.
E. That means writing a lot of good beginnings and ends that editors and readers appreciate.
F. So you should conclude the piece with a flourish(华丽辞藻), or a satisfying sense of completion.
G. Whenever you come across one that grabs your attention, copy the style in your own article.

A Welcome Gift
Dario and his mother loved their new apartment. Compared with the previous one back in New York, the living room was large enough for their piano. That night, the two of them sat side by side at the piano. They played jazz music to celebrate their new home. The loud music filled the room and made them feel very happy. They were so absorbed in playing one piece after another that they totally forgot how late it was.
The next morning, however, their happiness disappeared. Someone had left a note under their door during the night. One of their neighbors had written to complain about the sound of the piano. The first person that came to their mind would be Mrs. Gilbert, who lived right next to them, but they were not sure. Then Dario’s mother asked the building superintendent (管理员) if he knew anything about it. But he said that they were all nice people and he couldn’t imagine any of them had done that. The note of complaint was like a big, black cloud hanging over their home. It was not the way they wanted to establish relationship with their new neighbors.
Later that morning, Dario suggested that they write a letter to their neighbors and apologize for their playing. “Maybe we could go and visit everyone in person.” his mother said. But the time-consuming and troublesome idea was quickly denied. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration went across Dario’s mind. Nothing could serve as a bridge to remove the distance between them and their new neighbors better than a party.
This idea swept the gloomy expression on his mother’s face. They both loved the fantastic idea. Over the next few days, they sent out invitations and prepared desserts for their guests. They decorated the apartment with streamers (彩带) and party lights to strengthen the party atmosphere. A smile of expectation could be seen on their faces as they held a strong belief that it would be a perfect beginning of their new life in the new neighborhood.
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。

Good morning, everyone!
I’m Li Hua. On behalf of would-be Senior 3 students, I feel honored to give a speech about how to handle the pressure we are now facing from my perspective.
To begin with, physical health and a good state of mind is the foundation on which we conquer all the difficulties. As the old saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Only by striking a balance between study and rest, can we ensure learning efficiency. What’s more, pouring to our parents or teachers when necessary is also an alternative to get practical guidance and timely comfort. When it comes to our future choices, it’s highly recommended that we combine our personal preference with professional suggestion.
Hope my advice can be of some help to you. I believe with great persistence and efforts, we can get the ultimate success in the college entrance examination.
Thank you .
六、读后续写：
Finally, the day of the party arrived. Some guests brought presents while others brought flowers. Some even brought desserts to share. Laughter lingered around the room and everyone’s eyes twinkled with pleasure. Busy serving the guests, Dario suddenly received a special gift, an old but well-preserved book of piano music by Chopin from a woman in her fifties, Mrs. Gilbert. “I heard you playing the other night, which woke me up. Worrying that it may disturb me as well as other neighbors, I wrote the note. Frankly speaking, you played really well except for the wrong timing.” Mrs. Gilbert said. Smiling embarrassingly, Dario’s mother promised that she wouldn’t play so loud again.
“You play, you play!” Mrs.Gilbert said. “I like what you play! Just not so loud at night.” She pointed to the book she had given them. “These songs are not such loud music.” At the first sight of the catalogue, Dario felt joy welling up inside himself, as it contained the songs he had longed to learn. He actually couldn’t wait to practice them. “Next time I will play the music in this book for you all. I love this welcome gift.” Dario yelled in excitement, followed by a burst of laughter from all the neighbors, which gave him a feeling of warmth and made him feel that they were at home at last.

W: Not necessarily. Scientists say people who have a good sense of direction probably pay more attention to what’s around them. They notice more details. A lot of people don’t pay attention at all. If you’re thinking about something else while you’re walking, of course you’re more likely to get lost.

语法填空
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了福建的传统戏剧—南音。
56. comprised。考查非谓语动词。传统的南音由五名成员表演，由一名歌手和四名乐器演奏者组成。根据固定短语“be comprised of”，故用过去分词形式作后置定语。

58. Wandering。考查非谓语动词。在泉州的街头漫步时，人们经常会听到来自街角的报摊、市场上的杂货店或开门的住宅里飘扬出的缓慢、柔和且令人愉快的旋律。故用现在分词做时间状语。
