W: Well, even though you can still have your credits here, you will have to take extra courses, because Central has different requirements.

【答案】17 C 18. B 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【原文】People always ask me why I only travel the hard way! A lot of television travel programs are about relaxing holidays on the beach, but I’ve only ever taken really long trips. The last trip I did was a 50,000-mile journey around the Pacific Ocean, and it took 12 months. But my very first trip was a “round the world” journey, and the most difficult one was probably a car journey from the North Pole to the South Pole! As you can imagine, I’ve seen a lot of the world! I’m lucky to be in really excellent health, but life is very short and I’ve done so much traveling that I want a change. Traveling long distances wears you out and although it’s still a great pleasure for me, I want to do something more relaxing now. But the programs I’ve made about the really long trips will encourage other people to get on a plane and have some adventures. Some people seem to be afraid of going to a strange country and perhaps being ill there, but maybe they realize now that if I can do these trips, so can they. I’m only a very ordinary person. And obviously you don’t have to travel on your own as I always have. Perhaps if I spend more time at home I can do more writing. I’ve done two books so far. I write about places I’ve seen and my feelings about them. I don’t think I’ll ever write fiction or poetry oh, but I’d be interested in writing newspaper articles. My family says I’m very difficult to live with when I’m writing at home ... perhaps that’s why they’ve never been upset about me traveling!

In 1868 six-year-old Laura Jernegan,her parents, and her baby brother,Prescott,set sail from New Bedford, Massachusetts. This was no vacation cruise.Laura's father,captain of the whaleship Roman, was hunting the mightiest animal on earth.
Unwilling to be separated from his family for three to four years while he made ocean voyages thousands of miles from home, Captain Jernegan took them with him to share in the adventure—and the danger-of life at sea. In the mid-1800s,as many as one in six American whaling, captains took their families on voyages.
What was it like to live on a whaleship? The diary Laura kept while she was at sea offers a look into her unusual childhood. She was fascinated by her father's job. When the ship's lookout spotted a whale, Laura recorded it in her diary."I hope we shall get him,"she wrote.
She watched as the men rushed to their whaleboats and chased the whales. As soon as a whale was caught, the crew began to process it. First the crew"cut in" the whale by removing its thick blanket of blubber（鲸脂）.
After throwing pieces of blubber into large pots， two men would "get in the pots and squish (挤)out the blubber,"Laura wrote. It must have been a strange sight because the sailors were "way up to their knees" in the greasy fat, she reported.
Now came the hot,smoky,and smelly par.A brick furnace(火炉)was fired up,and the blubber was tried out, or boiled into oil. One huge whale produced enough oil to fill seventy-five barrels, she noted in disbelief. When the Jernegans returned home, the oil would be sold for the best price possible.Whale oil was important during most of the nineteenth century.It was used to light lamps and to make candles.
Two and a half years after she had left New Bedford, deep-water adventure came to an abrupt end. The Jernegans were whaling in the South Pacific when several crew members mutinied(反叛). Fortunately,the mutiny was stopped before anyone got killed.Her parents were terrified.They decided that a whaleship was no place for children. Laura, Prescott,and Mrs. Jernegan headed straight back to the United States on a passenger ship, and Captain Jernegan continued his whaling voyage.
This era, often called the golden age of whaling, was over in the late nineteenth century. Yet one girl's diary has helped to ensure that this chapter in America's seafaring history will not be forgotten.
24. Why did Captain Jernegan take his family out on a whale hunt?
A. To experience the pleasant life at sea.
B. To spend a nice vacation with his family.
C. To avoid a long separation from his family.
D. To follow in the footsteps of other captains.
25. What can we learn about processing the hunted whales?
A. Laura offered help to the work.
B. It was very hard and dirty work.
C. It started from boiling the blubber.
D. The workers couldn't stand the heat and bad smell.
26. Why did Captain Jernegan send his wife and children home?
A. He worried about their safety.
B. Laura had no friends on his ship.
C. There happened to be a passenger ship.
D. They had been away from home too long.
27. What can we infer from Laura's dairy?
A. Her father stopped whaling after the mutiny.
B. Hunting whales was challenging but rewarding.
C. She thought deep-water adventures were boring.
D. The 20th century was thc golden age of whaling.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了美国历史上的捕鲸黄金期时，一位叫做Jernegan的船长带着家人出海捕鲸，船长女儿Laura Jernegan通过日记记录下来的见闻经历。
【详解】1. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Unwilling to be separated from his family for three to four years while he made ocean voyages thousands of miles from home, Captain Jernegan took them with him to share in the adventure—and the danger-of life at sea.”（，杰尼根船长在离家数千英里的海上航行期间，他不愿与家人分开三到四年，于是他带着家人一起分享海上生活的冒险和危险。），可知船长不想和家人分开太久，所以把家人都带到了船上。故选C项。
2. 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“After throwing pieces of blubber into large pots， two men would "get in the pots and squish (挤)out the blubber,"Laura wrote. ”（在把鲸脂碎片扔进大盆后,两人会进入大盆里去挤压鲸脂,”劳拉说。）以及第六段“Now came the hot, smoky, and smelly part. ”（现在到了热气熏人，烟雾缭绕，臭气熏天的工作了。），可知这份工作又脏又累。故选B项。
3. 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“The Jernegans were whaling in the South Pacific when several crew members mutinied(反叛). ”（Jernegans在南太平洋捕鲸时，几个船员发动反叛。）以及“Her parents were terrified.They decided that a whaleship was no place for children. ”（她的父母非常害怕。他们都一致认为捕鲸船不是孩子该待的地方。），可知船长遇到了船员反叛，认为孩子在船长不安全，所以就把家人都送回家。故选A项。
4. 推理判断题。根据上文所述捕鲸工作是既辛苦又肮脏，而且在南太平洋捕鲸时，船长还遭遇了船员叛变以及倒数第三段“One huge whale produced enough oil to fill seventy-five barrels, she noted in disbelief. When the Jernegans returned home, the oil would be sold for the best price possible.”（她非常难以置信地写到，一条巨大的鲸鱼产出的石油足够装满75桶。当杰尼根一家返回家乡时，石油会以最好的价格出售。），可知捕鲸很辛苦，但是回报也是很丰盛的。故选B项。
【点睛】通读文章了解主要内容揣摩中心思想，认真通读所有题目理解题意，抓住关键词，再带着问题及关键词仔细地阅读有关内容，认真地思考组织答案。比如本篇第3题关键词为send his wife and children home（把妻儿送回家），带着关键词，找到相关信息在倒数第二段“headed straight back to the United States”。因此相关题目答案信息应该在此段落内寻找。故此题选择A项。
C
When did you last write a letter? Properly write on—by hand? In a digital world, where sending a text or email is far more convenient than using snail mail, is the writing on the wall for traditional pen and paper? Well, some people claim that writing still has many benefits, so maybe it's not time to ditch your ballpoint(圆珠笔)or fountain pen(钢笔)yet.
These days, when people request things in writing, a typed, electronic document will be accepted. Doing this on a computer means it could be saved, edited, copied and sent via email. But crafting a handwriting document is unique: It requires planning and thought, and, as well as practising your handwriting, it helps you to remember spelling and punctuation.
Some experts believe your brain benefits from using old-fashioned pen and paper. This is particularly relevant for students,where typing notes into a laptop is thought to lack the "tactile feedback"(触觉反馈)to the brain that contact between pen and paper docs. BBC Worklife website quotes Hetty Roessingh from the University of Calgary,who says that "taking notes by hand involves cognitive(认知的)engagement in summarizing, adapting, organizing. concept and vocabulary mapping. Others agree that handwriting may boost fine motor skills in your hands and fingers.
There are everyday benefits to using pen and paper too. Scribbling(涂狗)notes，shopping lists or messages on the back of an envelope can still be useful, quick and portable. But putting pen to paper in a letter to a friend or loved one can probably have the most impact. Pen pal writer Katherine Moller told the BBC: "In a world where it is so easy to hop online to email or to send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone chose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you."
So, while digital skills remain important, don't write off your pens and pencils yet—especially if your smartphone, tablet or laptop runs out of power!
28. What does the underlined word "ditch"mean in the first paragraph?
A. Write. B. Abandon.
C. Save. D. Choose.
29. What does the writer want to emphasize in Paragraph 2?
A. The popularity of electronic documents.
B. The convenience of electronic documents.
C. The special features of handwritten documents.
D. The basic requirements of handwritten documents.
30. Which of the following is the benefit of writing by hand?
A. It fully develops your hand muscles.
B. It helps you to practise your handwriting.
C. It strengthens the bond between pen and paper.
D. It sharpens your comprehensive cognitive abilities.
31. What can we infer from Katherine Moller's words?
A. It is necessary for us to turn off the virtual world.
B. Scribbling notes should be practised in our daily life.
C. Using paper and pen has the greatest impact on our daily life.
D. Writing a letter by hand can be a touching and valuable experience.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。一些专家认为用手书写在很多方面对人们有好处。因此虽然数字技能很重要，但不要放弃你的笔。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线部分所在句子“Well, some people claim that writing still has many benefits, so maybe it's not time to ditch your ballpoint(圆珠笔)or fountain pen(钢笔)yet.（好吧，有些人声称写作仍然有很多好处，所以也许现在还不是ditch你的圆珠笔或钢笔的时候）”可知，一些人认为用手写东西有很多好处。因此推知，现在可能还不是放弃你的圆珠笔或钢笔的时候，即划线词意为 “放弃”，与abandon同义。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“But crafting a handwriting document is unique: It requires planning and thought, and, as well as practising your handwriting, it helps you to remember spelling and punctuation.（但是完成手写文件是独一无二的：它需要计划和思考，而且，除了练习你的书写，它还帮助你记住拼写和标点符号） ”推知，第二段旨在强调手写文件的特点。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“BBC Worklife website quotes Hetty Roessingh from the University of Calgary,who says that "taking notes by hand involves cognitive(认知的)engagement in summarizing, adapting, organizing, concept and vocabulary mapping. （英国广播公司WorkLoad网站援引卡尔加里大学的Hetty Roessingh的话，他说“用手记笔记包括在总结、适应、组织、概念和词汇映射方面的认知参与”）”可知，手写有助于提高你的综合认知能力。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Pen pal writer Katherine Moller told the BBC: "In a world where it is so easy to hop online to email or to send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone chose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you."（笔友作家凯瑟琳·莫勒告诉英国广播公司说:“在一个人们很容易上网发电子邮件或快速短信的世界里，知道有人愿意关掉虚拟世界和你共度时光是一件非常私人、非常珍贵的事情。”）”推知，手写一封信是一次感人而宝贵的经历，因为这体现了写信人对收信人的关心。故选D。

Recently, many climate change campaigns and organizations have marketed themselves using images of polar bears losing their habitat.This has led many people to view the polar bear as the global icon(象征物)for our climate crisis.
The polar bear has become so widespread because it does an excellent job of playing on an audience's emotions and convincing them that there is an urgent problem on Earth. The imagery of a polar bear is also much more attractive than a scientific graph(图表)or chart of increasing sea levels or extreme weather event occurrences.
However,using polar bears as the only icon of our changing climate is flawed(有错的).For one,it only represents one effect of climate change, global warming,and not climate change itself. It neglects to address other aspects such as extreme weather events, ocean acidification, etc.While global warming is an important impact of climate change, the other aspects need to be communicated as well since climate change may not even cause warming in certain parts of the world—it could lead to severe snowstorms or colder winters instead. Thus, communicating these other elements is vital because it can reduce much of the misinformation surrounding our climate and gives the audience a more comprehensive understanding of our planet.
Moreover,using polar bears is problematic because most people do not live anywhere near polar bear habitat.This makes polar bears feel far removed from our own personal reality-thus making climate change feel far removed from our lives. Since climate change is anything but a distant phenomenon, a symbol that communicates the ways in which the climate crisis affects humans could be more convincing and push more people to act.
Even though using the polar bear as the icon of climate change is limited in conveying the full scope of our climate crisis, it can act as an agent of opening up the conversation about environmental issues and inspiring viewers to dive deeper into learning about climate change.
32. Why are polar bears preferred as marketing images?
A. Their imagery is more convincing.
B. They are likely to lose their habitats.
C. They are unique victims of the climate crisis.
D. The data on them often appear in scientific graphs.
33. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A. Polar bears arc the only indicator of climate change.
B. Climate change is bound to result in global warming.
C. All elements of climate change have been communicated to the public.
D. Using polar bears as the only icon of climate change will cause some problems.
34. What does the underlined word"This"refer to in Paragraph 4?
A. Failing to understand our planet.
B. Refusing to take immediate action.
C. Living apart from polar bear habitat.
D. Using polar bears to explain climate change.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The occurrence of climate change
B. The possible impact of climate change
C. The dangerous symbol of polar bears
D. The importance of protecting polar bears
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. C

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。最近，许多气候变化运动和组织利用北极熊失去栖息地的图像来宣传自己。这使得许多人将北极熊视为气候危机的全球标志。虽然用北极熊作为气候变化的标志，在传达我们的气候危机的全面范围上是有限的，但它可以作为一个媒介，能够开启关于环境问题的对话，并激励观众深入了解气候变化。

细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“The imagery of a polar bear is also much more attractive than a scientific graph(图表)or chart of increasing sea levels or extreme weather event occurrences.( 北极熊的形象也比海平面上升或极端天气事件发生的科学图表或统计图更有吸引力。)”可知北极熊的形象比其他科学图表更加有吸引力，容易使人信服，所以人们喜欢把北极熊作为营销形象。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的首句“However, using polar bears as the only icon of our changing climate is flawed(有错的)( 然而，用北极熊作为气候变化的唯一标志是有缺陷的).”及段落其他内容的分析可推知把北极熊作为气候的唯一标志是有缺陷的，可能会引起一些问题。故选D。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词是指示代词，指代前文的内容，前文是“Moreover,using polar bears is problematic because most people do not live anywhere near polar bear habitat.( 此外，使用北极熊也是有问题的，因为大多数人都不住在北极熊栖息地附近。)”，由此可知this指大多数人都不住在北极熊栖息地附近的这种现象。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Even though using the polar bear as the icon of climate change is limited in conveying the full scope of our climate crisis, it can act as an agent of opening up the conversation about environmental issues and inspiring viewers to dive deeper into learning about climate change.( 虽然用北极熊作为气候变化的标志，在传达我们的气候危机的全面范围上是有限的，但它可以作为一个媒介，能够开启关于环境问题的对话，并激励观众深入了解气候变化。)”可知文章主要讲北极熊作为气候危机变化的标志，虽然有缺陷，但能吸引人们关注其后变化。结合选项可知选项C .The dangerous symbol of polar bears(北极熊的危险气候象征)概括较为全面。故选C。

Former Harvard President Drew Faust recently wrote of students overlooking the benefit of following their interest in art or linguistics. The trend towards employable subjects lie math and science is reflected in decisions of college students as well as primary and secondary schools.
___36___Groundbreaking work of cognitive neuroscientists reveals what we think of as"extras"are central to strengthening our minds.
Take music as an example. A study shows that musical training, particularly instrumental training, produces long lasting changes in motor abilities and brain structure. The earlier a child starts instrumental training, the stronger the connection between the right and left hemispheres（半球） of the brain.___37___
What is found in musicians is also common among world-class athletes and top-level managers. Is it a coincidence that Roger Federer, Elon Musk and Steve Job, all studied music for years as children?___38___Science backs that up.Children who play an instrument 30 minutes a week over the course of a little over a year have more highly developed brains.
___39___ Studying a second language restructures the brain which lasts into adulthood. The cortex(大脑皮层),which has the greatest changes when a second language is learned during childhood,influences thought and consciousness.
How about physical education? Apart from the humanities(人文学科),new research also reveals children who get aerobic exercise transform their brains due to a protein that is increased during exercise. Exercise matters deeply for cognitive development for kids.___40___
Concentration, evolved communication skills, and being a good team player are just a few of the benefits research shows extra-curriculums have on a developing mind. To me, that list reads as one I might put together for a model employee.
A. The same is true for a foreign language.
B. There are sound reasons for the concern.
C. Foreign language learning should be given top priority to.
D. There is no doubt that instrumental training should be on the to-do list.
E. These changes thus affect the ability to listen and communicate as an adult.
F. Perhaps, but they all owe current suces,in part, to the training in that aspect.
G. Yet 20 percent of U.S.schools put an end to it in favor of increased classroom time.
【答案】36. B 37. E 38. F 39. A 40. G
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。现在很多学生在选择科目时没有考虑自身的爱好，盲目选择理科，这种现象引起了人们的担心。事实上人文学科、音乐、运动对学生认知的发展极有好处。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Former Harvard President Drew Faust recently wrote of students overlooking the benefit of following their interest in art or linguistics. The trend towards employable subjects lie math and science is reflected in decisions of college students as well as primary and secondary schools.（哈佛大学前校长德鲁·福斯特最近写道，有学生忽视了遵循他们对艺术或语言学的兴趣的好处。在大学生和中小学的就业决策中，都反映了理科就业的趋势）”可知，现在很多学生在选择科目时没有考虑自身的爱好。结合下文提到人文学科、音乐、锻炼对学生发展的好处可知，这种现象引起了人们的担心。B项 “这种担忧有充分的理由”符合题意。故选B。
【37题详解】
空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据上文“The earlier a child starts instrumental training, the stronger the connection between the right and left hemispheres(半球) of the brain.（儿童越早接受器乐训练，大脑左右半球之间的联系就越强）”可知，E项 “因此，这些变化影响了成年人倾听和交流的能力”符合语境，和上文承接自然，选项中的these changes呼应上文的“the stronger the connection between the right and left hemispheres(半球) of the brain”。故选E。
【38题详解】
上文“Is it a coincidence that Roger Federer, Elon Musk and Steve Job, all studied music for years as children?（罗杰·费德勒、埃隆·马斯克和史蒂夫·乔布斯小时候都学过多年音乐，这是巧合吗?）”提出了一个问题，由此推知下文是对其的回答。F项“也许吧，但他们现在的成功，部分归功于这方面的训练”符合题意，对上文进行了回答，选项中的they指的就是上文提到的三位著名人物。故选F。
【39题详解】
根据下文“Studying a second language restructures the brain which lasts into adulthood. （学习第二语言会重塑大脑，并持续到成年）”可知，下文提到了学习另一门语言，由此推知，空处内容与学习另一种语言有关。A项“学外语也是如此”符合题意，选项中的a foreign language呼应下文的 a second language。故选A。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Apart from the humanities(人文学科),new research also reveals children who get aerobic exercise transform their brains due to a protein that is increased during exercise. Exercise matters deeply for cognitive development for kids.（除了人文学科，新的研究还表明，进行有氧运动的儿童由于在运动中增加的一种蛋白质而改变了他们的大脑。运动对孩子的认知发展至关重要）”可知，有氧运动对儿童有好处，运动对他们的认知发展尤为重要。G项“然而，20%的美国学校为了增加课堂时间而停止了这种做法”与上文承接自然，陈述了一种背道而驰的现象，选项中的it指代上文的Exercise。故选G。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了火药是如何发明的，在古代的运用，以及对人类文化的影响。
【56题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：中国古代炼金师花了几个世纪的时间试图发现长生不老药。结合句意表达“试图做某事”应用try to do sth.，不定式作宾语。故填to discover。
【57题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在唐代，大约公元850年，一位富有进取心的炼金术士创造了一种混合物，这种混合物对延长寿命没有明显效果，但当暴露在明火中时爆炸了。分析可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词mixture指物，从句缺少主语，应用关系代词which。故填which。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在唐代，大约公元850年，一位富有进取心的炼金术士创造了一种混合物，这种混合物对延长寿命没有明显效果，但当暴露在明火中时爆炸了。be exposed to“暴露于……”为固定短语，此处省略be用过去分词和when构成时间状语。故填exposed。

考查介词。句意：多年来，许多西方历史书籍都指出中国人将他的发现仅用于焰火，但事实并非如此。结合句意可知，此处为固定短语use...for...“把……用于……”。故填for。
【60题详解】
考查连词。句意：多年来，许多西方历史书籍都指出中国人将他的发现仅用于焰火，但事实并非如此。结合句意可知，事实并非很多西方史书中陈述的那样，即上下文是转折关系，应用but/yet连接。故填but/yet。
【61题详解】
考查代词。句意：早在公元904年，宋朝军队就使用火药装置对付他们的主要敌人——蒙古人。修饰名词词组primary enemy要用形容词性物主代词。故填their。
【62题详解】
考查时态。句意：到11世纪中后期，宋朝政府开始关注火药技术向其他国家的传播。根据时间状语“By the mid-to late-eleventh century”可知，句子应用过去完成时。故填had become。
【63题详解】
考查冠词。句意：1267年，一位欧洲作家提到了火药，1280年，西方出版了第一批火药配方。writer为可数名词，此处泛指一个作家，应用不定冠词，且European的发音是以辅音音素开头，故填a。
【64题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：1267年，一位欧洲作家提到了火药，1280年，西方出版了第一批火药配方。空处为句子谓语动词，主语recipes是复数，且根据1280判断为一般过去时。故填were。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意：几个世纪以来，中国的发明对人类文化产生了深远的影响。此处应用名词作主语，助动词have提示主语为复数。故填inventions。

Then suddenly someone came up from behind me and tied to hand me a piece of paper.I thought it was another one of those people who hand you pages of some sad story and ask you for money. I could feel anger boiling up inside me shirked (避开) the person away with the motion of my hand without even looking at him.
This guy moved over to the next person in traffic and did a similar thing of showing him the paper. The other guy who was not in as bad mood as mine looked at the paper and started giving directions.It was at this moment realized that the person who came to me was asking for directions. He couldn't speak so he had written it down on a piece of paper.He was not some beggar asking for money, and he was dressed as a salesman carrying one of those bully encyclopedias (百科全书). After getting the directions he smiled at the person,bowed his head showing his appreciation and jogged away to the other end of the road.
I felt a sudden tender pity for him.By the time the signal turned green this salesman was standing at the other end of the road signalling people for a lift.I decided to help him out but my house was on a different route than where he was asking for a lift.I moved on but I was still feeling bad fr treating a hard working person that way.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When another bike stopped and he sat on the bike, he noticed me in the distance.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】After going about 100 meters I decided to turn back to offer him a helping hand. Nothing could set my mind at rest other than having a chance to make up for treating him that way. Without hesitation I turned around and made my way to where we first met. When I saw him, the exhausted but patient salesman was still signalling at people for a lift and meanwhile showing them the piece of paper. I pressed my feet down sharply on the pedals in a desperate attempt to offer my help as soon as possible.
When another bike stopped and he sat on the bike, he noticed me in the distance. I thought he would probably pretend not to have seen me. To my surprise, he smiled and waved at me as he was swallowed up by the crowd. I was almost rooted to the spot with regretful tears rolling down my cheeks. Though this incident didn’t change my life, I learned a precious lesson: try to treat others with tolerance and kindness even though sometimes life throws you a curveball.

【答案】17 C 18. B 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【原文】People always ask me why I only travel the hard way! A lot of television travel programs are about relaxing holidays on the beach, but I’ve only ever taken really long trips. The last trip I did was a 50,000-mile journey around the Pacific Ocean, and it took 12 months. But my very first trip was a “round the world” journey, and the most difficult one was probably a car journey from the North Pole to the South Pole! As you can imagine, I’ve seen a lot of the world! I’m lucky to be in really excellent health, but life is very short and I’ve done so much traveling that I want a change. Traveling long distances wears you out and although it’s still a great pleasure for me, I want to do something more relaxing now. But the programs I’ve made about the really long trips will encourage other people to get on a plane and have some adventures. Some people seem to be afraid of going to a strange country and perhaps being ill there, but maybe they realize now that if I can do these trips, so can they. I’m only a very ordinary person. And obviously you don’t have to travel on your own as I always have. Perhaps if I spend more time at home I can do more writing. I’ve done two books so far. I write about places I’ve seen and my feelings about them. I don’t think I’ll ever write fiction or poetry oh, but I’d be interested in writing newspaper articles. My family says I’m very difficult to live with when I’m writing at home ... perhaps that’s why they’ve never been upset about me traveling!

In 1868 six-year-old Laura Jernegan,her parents, and her baby brother,Prescott,set sail from New Bedford, Massachusetts. This was no vacation cruise.Laura's father,captain of the whaleship Roman, was hunting the mightiest animal on earth.
Unwilling to be separated from his family for three to four years while he made ocean voyages thousands of miles from home, Captain Jernegan took them with him to share in the adventure—and the danger-of life at sea. In the mid-1800s,as many as one in six American whaling, captains took their families on voyages.
What was it like to live on a whaleship? The diary Laura kept while she was at sea offers a look into her unusual childhood. She was fascinated by her father's job. When the ship's lookout spotted a whale, Laura recorded it in her diary."I hope we shall get him,"she wrote.
She watched as the men rushed to their whaleboats and chased the whales. As soon as a whale was caught, the crew began to process it. First the crew"cut in" the whale by removing its thick blanket of blubber（鲸脂）.
After throwing pieces of blubber into large pots， two men would "get in the pots and squish (挤)out the blubber,"Laura wrote. It must have been a strange sight because the sailors were "way up to their knees" in the greasy fat, she reported.
Now came the hot,smoky,and smelly par.A brick furnace(火炉)was fired up,and the blubber was tried out, or boiled into oil. One huge whale produced enough oil to fill seventy-five barrels, she noted in disbelief. When the Jernegans returned home, the oil would be sold for the best price possible.Whale oil was important during most of the nineteenth century.It was used to light lamps and to make candles.
Two and a half years after she had left New Bedford, deep-water adventure came to an abrupt end. The Jernegans were whaling in the South Pacific when several crew members mutinied(反叛). Fortunately,the mutiny was stopped before anyone got killed.Her parents were terrified.They decided that a whaleship was no place for children. Laura, Prescott,and Mrs. Jernegan headed straight back to the United States on a passenger ship, and Captain Jernegan continued his whaling voyage.
This era, often called the golden age of whaling, was over in the late nineteenth century. Yet one girl's diary has helped to ensure that this chapter in America's seafaring history will not be forgotten.
24. Why did Captain Jernegan take his family out on a whale hunt?
A. To experience the pleasant life at sea.
B. To spend a nice vacation with his family.
C. To avoid a long separation from his family.
D. To follow in the footsteps of other captains.
25. What can we learn about processing the hunted whales?
A. Laura offered help to the work.
B. It was very hard and dirty work.
C. It started from boiling the blubber.
D. The workers couldn't stand the heat and bad smell.
26. Why did Captain Jernegan send his wife and children home?
A. He worried about their safety.
B. Laura had no friends on his ship.
C. There happened to be a passenger ship.
D. They had been away from home too long.
27. What can we infer from Laura's dairy?
A. Her father stopped whaling after the mutiny.
B. Hunting whales was challenging but rewarding.
C. She thought deep-water adventures were boring.
D. The 20th century was thc golden age of whaling.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. B

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了美国历史上的捕鲸黄金期时，一位叫做Jernegan的船长带着家人出海捕鲸，船长女儿Laura Jernegan通过日记记录下来的见闻经历。
【详解】1. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Unwilling to be separated from his family for three to four years while he made ocean voyages thousands of miles from home, Captain Jernegan took them with him to share in the adventure—and the danger-of life at sea.”（，杰尼根船长在离家数千英里的海上航行期间，他不愿与家人分开三到四年，于是他带着家人一起分享海上生活的冒险和危险。），可知船长不想和家人分开太久，所以把家人都带到了船上。故选C项。
2. 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“After throwing pieces of blubber into large pots， two men would "get in the pots and squish (挤)out the blubber,"Laura wrote. ”（在把鲸脂碎片扔进大盆后,两人会进入大盆里去挤压鲸脂,”劳拉说。）以及第六段“Now came the hot, smoky, and smelly part. ”（现在到了热气熏人，烟雾缭绕，臭气熏天的工作了。），可知这份工作又脏又累。故选B项。
3. 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“The Jernegans were whaling in the South Pacific when several crew members mutinied(反叛). ”（Jernegans在南太平洋捕鲸时，几个船员发动反叛。）以及“Her parents were terrified.They decided that a whaleship was no place for children. ”（她的父母非常害怕。他们都一致认为捕鲸船不是孩子该待的地方。），可知船长遇到了船员反叛，认为孩子在船长不安全，所以就把家人都送回家。故选A项。
4. 推理判断题。根据上文所述捕鲸工作是既辛苦又肮脏，而且在南太平洋捕鲸时，船长还遭遇了船员叛变以及倒数第三段“One huge whale produced enough oil to fill seventy-five barrels, she noted in disbelief. When the Jernegans returned home, the oil would be sold for the best price possible.”（她非常难以置信地写到，一条巨大的鲸鱼产出的石油足够装满75桶。当杰尼根一家返回家乡时，石油会以最好的价格出售。），可知捕鲸很辛苦，但是回报也是很丰盛的。故选B项。
【点睛】通读文章了解主要内容揣摩中心思想，认真通读所有题目理解题意，抓住关键词，再带着问题及关键词仔细地阅读有关内容，认真地思考组织答案。比如本篇第3题关键词为send his wife and children home（把妻儿送回家），带着关键词，找到相关信息在倒数第二段“headed straight back to the United States”。因此相关题目答案信息应该在此段落内寻找。故此题选择A项。
C
When did you last write a letter? Properly write on—by hand? In a digital world, where sending a text or email is far more convenient than using snail mail, is the writing on the wall for traditional pen and paper? Well, some people claim that writing still has many benefits, so maybe it's not time to ditch your ballpoint(圆珠笔)or fountain pen(钢笔)yet.
These days, when people request things in writing, a typed, electronic document will be accepted. Doing this on a computer means it could be saved, edited, copied and sent via email. But crafting a handwriting document is unique: It requires planning and thought, and, as well as practising your handwriting, it helps you to remember spelling and punctuation.
Some experts believe your brain benefits from using old-fashioned pen and paper. This is particularly relevant for students,where typing notes into a laptop is thought to lack the "tactile feedback"(触觉反馈)to the brain that contact between pen and paper docs. BBC Worklife website quotes Hetty Roessingh from the University of Calgary,who says that "taking notes by hand involves cognitive(认知的)engagement in summarizing, adapting, organizing. concept and vocabulary mapping. Others agree that handwriting may boost fine motor skills in your hands and fingers.
There are everyday benefits to using pen and paper too. Scribbling(涂狗)notes，shopping lists or messages on the back of an envelope can still be useful, quick and portable. But putting pen to paper in a letter to a friend or loved one can probably have the most impact. Pen pal writer Katherine Moller told the BBC: "In a world where it is so easy to hop online to email or to send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone chose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you."
So, while digital skills remain important, don't write off your pens and pencils yet—especially if your smartphone, tablet or laptop runs out of power!
28. What does the underlined word "ditch"mean in the first paragraph?

30. Which of the following is the benefit of writing by hand?
A. It fully develops your hand muscles.
B. It helps you to practise your handwriting.
C. It strengthens the bond between pen and paper.
D. It sharpens your comprehensive cognitive abilities.
31. What can we infer from Katherine Moller's words?
A. It is necessary for us to turn off the virtual world.
B. Scribbling notes should be practised in our daily life.
C. Using paper and pen has the greatest impact on our daily life.
D. Writing a letter by hand can be a touching and valuable experience.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。一些专家认为用手书写在很多方面对人们有好处。因此虽然数字技能很重要，但不要放弃你的笔。

词句猜测题。根据划线部分所在句子“Well, some people claim that writing still has many benefits, so maybe it's not time to ditch your ballpoint(圆珠笔)or fountain pen(钢笔)yet.（好吧，有些人声称写作仍然有很多好处，所以也许现在还不是ditch你的圆珠笔或钢笔的时候）”可知，一些人认为用手写东西有很多好处。因此推知，现在可能还不是放弃你的圆珠笔或钢笔的时候，即划线词意为 “放弃”，与abandon同义。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“But crafting a handwriting document is unique: It requires planning and thought, and, as well as practising your handwriting, it helps you to remember spelling and punctuation.（但是完成手写文件是独一无二的：它需要计划和思考，而且，除了练习你的书写，它还帮助你记住拼写和标点符号） ”推知，第二段旨在强调手写文件的特点。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“BBC Worklife website quotes Hetty Roessingh from the University of Calgary,who says that "taking notes by hand involves cognitive(认知的)engagement in summarizing, adapting, organizing, concept and vocabulary mapping. （英国广播公司WorkLoad网站援引卡尔加里大学的Hetty Roessingh的话，他说“用手记笔记包括在总结、适应、组织、概念和词汇映射方面的认知参与”）”可知，手写有助于提高你的综合认知能力。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Pen pal writer Katherine Moller told the BBC: "In a world where it is so easy to hop online to email or to send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone chose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you."（笔友作家凯瑟琳·莫勒告诉英国广播公司说:“在一个人们很容易上网发电子邮件或快速短信的世界里，知道有人愿意关掉虚拟世界和你共度时光是一件非常私人、非常珍贵的事情。”）”推知，手写一封信是一次感人而宝贵的经历，因为这体现了写信人对收信人的关心。故选D。

D
Recently, many climate change campaigns and organizations have marketed themselves using images of polar bears losing their habitat.This has led many people to view the polar bear as the global icon(象征物)for our climate crisis.
The polar bear has become so widespread because it does an excellent job of playing on an audience's emotions and convincing them that there is an urgent problem on Earth. The imagery of a polar bear is also much more attractive than a scientific graph(图表)or chart of increasing sea levels or extreme weather event occurrences.
However,using polar bears as the only icon of our changing climate is flawed(有错的).For one,it only represents one effect of climate change, global warming,and not climate change itself. It neglects to address other aspects such as extreme weather events, ocean acidification, etc.While global warming is an important impact of climate change, the other aspects need to be communicated as well since climate change may not even cause warming in certain parts of the world—it could lead to severe snowstorms or colder winters instead. Thus, communicating these other elements is vital because it can reduce much of the misinformation surrounding our climate and gives the audience a more comprehensive understanding of our planet.
Moreover,using polar bears is problematic because most people do not live anywhere near polar bear habitat.This makes polar bears feel far removed from our own personal reality-thus making climate change feel far removed from our lives. Since climate change is anything but a distant phenomenon, a symbol that communicates the ways in which the climate crisis affects humans could be more convincing and push more people to act.
Even though using the polar bear as the icon of climate change is limited in conveying the full scope of our climate crisis, it can act as an agent of opening up the conversation about environmental issues and inspiring viewers to dive deeper into learning about climate change.
32. Why are polar bears preferred as marketing images?
A. Their imagery is more convincing.
B. They are likely to lose their habitats.
C. They are unique victims of the climate crisis.
D. The data on them often appear in scientific graphs.
33. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A. Polar bears arc the only indicator of climate change.
B. Climate change is bound to result in global warming.
C. All elements of climate change have been communicated to the public.
D. Using polar bears as the only icon of climate change will cause some problems.
34. What does the underlined word"This"refer to in Paragraph 4?
A. Failing to understand our planet.
B. Refusing to take immediate action.
C. Living apart from polar bear habitat.
D. Using polar bears to explain climate change.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The occurrence of climate change
B. The possible impact of climate change
C. The dangerous symbol of polar bears
D. The importance of protecting polar bears
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。最近，许多气候变化运动和组织利用北极熊失去栖息地的图像来宣传自己。这使得许多人将北极熊视为气候危机的全球标志。虽然用北极熊作为气候变化的标志，在传达我们的气候危机的全面范围上是有限的，但它可以作为一个媒介，能够开启关于环境问题的对话，并激励观众深入了解气候变化。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“The imagery of a polar bear is also much more attractive than a scientific graph(图表)or chart of increasing sea levels or extreme weather event occurrences.( 北极熊的形象也比海平面上升或极端天气事件发生的科学图表或统计图更有吸引力。)”可知北极熊的形象比其他科学图表更加有吸引力，容易使人信服，所以人们喜欢把北极熊作为营销形象。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的首句“However, using polar bears as the only icon of our changing climate is flawed(有错的)( 然而，用北极熊作为气候变化的唯一标志是有缺陷的).”及段落其他内容的分析可推知把北极熊作为气候的唯一标志是有缺陷的，可能会引起一些问题。故选D。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词是指示代词，指代前文的内容，前文是“Moreover,using polar bears is problematic because most people do not live anywhere near polar bear habitat.( 此外，使用北极熊也是有问题的，因为大多数人都不住在北极熊栖息地附近。)”，由此可知this指大多数人都不住在北极熊栖息地附近的这种现象。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Even though using the polar bear as the icon of climate change is limited in conveying the full scope of our climate crisis, it can act as an agent of opening up the conversation about environmental issues and inspiring viewers to dive deeper into learning about climate change.( 虽然用北极熊作为气候变化的标志，在传达我们的气候危机的全面范围上是有限的，但它可以作为一个媒介，能够开启关于环境问题的对话，并激励观众深入了解气候变化。)”可知文章主要讲北极熊作为气候危机变化的标志，虽然有缺陷，但能吸引人们关注其后变化。结合选项可知选项C .The dangerous symbol of polar bears(北极熊的危险气候象征)概括较为全面。故选C。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。现在很多学生在选择科目时没有考虑自身的爱好，盲目选择理科，这种现象引起了人们的担心。事实上人文学科、音乐、运动对学生认知的发展极有好处。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Former Harvard President Drew Faust recently wrote of students overlooking the benefit of following their interest in art or linguistics. The trend towards employable subjects lie math and science is reflected in decisions of college students as well as primary and secondary schools.（哈佛大学前校长德鲁·福斯特最近写道，有学生忽视了遵循他们对艺术或语言学的兴趣的好处。在大学生和中小学的就业决策中，都反映了理科就业的趋势）”可知，现在很多学生在选择科目时没有考虑自身的爱好。结合下文提到人文学科、音乐、锻炼对学生发展的好处可知，这种现象引起了人们的担心。B项 “这种担忧有充分的理由”符合题意。故选B。
【37题详解】
空处位于段末，应承接上文。根据上文“The earlier a child starts instrumental training, the stronger the connection between the right and left hemispheres(半球) of the brain.（儿童越早接受器乐训练，大脑左右半球之间的联系就越强）”可知，E项 “因此，这些变化影响了成年人倾听和交流的能力”符合语境，和上文承接自然，选项中的these changes呼应上文的“the stronger the connection between the right and left hemispheres(半球) of the brain”。故选E。
【38题详解】
上文“Is it a coincidence that Roger Federer, Elon Musk and Steve Job, all studied music for years as children?（罗杰·费德勒、埃隆·马斯克和史蒂夫·乔布斯小时候都学过多年音乐，这是巧合吗?）”提出了一个问题，由此推知下文是对其的回答。F项“也许吧，但他们现在的成功，部分归功于这方面的训练”符合题意，对上文进行了回答，选项中的they指的就是上文提到的三位著名人物。故选F。
【39题详解】
根据下文“Studying a second language restructures the brain which lasts into adulthood. （学习第二语言会重塑大脑，并持续到成年）”可知，下文提到了学习另一门语言，由此推知，空处内容与学习另一种语言有关。A项“学外语也是如此”符合题意，选项中的a foreign language呼应下文的 a second language。故选A。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Apart from the humanities(人文学科),new research also reveals children who get aerobic exercise transform their brains due to a protein that is increased during exercise. Exercise matters deeply for cognitive development for kids.（除了人文学科，新的研究还表明，进行有氧运动的儿童由于在运动中增加的一种蛋白质而改变了他们的大脑。运动对孩子的认知发展至关重要）”可知，有氧运动对儿童有好处，运动对他们的认知发展尤为重要。G项“然而，20%的美国学校为了增加课堂时间而停止了这种做法”与上文承接自然，陈述了一种背道而驰的现象，选项中的it指代上文的Exercise。故选G。

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了火药是如何发明的，在古代的运用，以及对人类文化的影响。
【56题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：中国古代炼金师花了几个世纪的时间试图发现长生不老药。结合句意表达“试图做某事”应用try to do sth.，不定式作宾语。故填to discover。
【57题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在唐代，大约公元850年，一位富有进取心的炼金术士创造了一种混合物，这种混合物对延长寿命没有明显效果，但当暴露在明火中时爆炸了。分析可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词mixture指物，从句缺少主语，应用关系代词which。故填which。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在唐代，大约公元850年，一位富有进取心的炼金术士创造了一种混合物，这种混合物对延长寿命没有明显效果，但当暴露在明火中时爆炸了。be exposed to“暴露于……”为固定短语，此处省略be用过去分词和when构成时间状语。故填exposed。

【60题详解】
考查连词。句意：多年来，许多西方历史书籍都指出中国人将他的发现仅用于焰火，但事实并非如此。结合句意可知，事实并非很多西方史书中陈述的那样，即上下文是转折关系，应用but/yet连接。故填but/yet。
【61题详解】
考查代词。句意：早在公元904年，宋朝军队就使用火药装置对付他们的主要敌人——蒙古人。修饰名词词组primary enemy要用形容词性物主代词。故填their。
【62题详解】
考查时态。句意：到11世纪中后期，宋朝政府开始关注火药技术向其他国家的传播。根据时间状语“By the mid-to late-eleventh century”可知，句子应用过去完成时。故填had become。
【63题详解】
考查冠词。句意：1267年，一位欧洲作家提到了火药，1280年，西方出版了第一批火药配方。writer为可数名词，此处泛指一个作家，应用不定冠词，且European的发音是以辅音音素开头，故填a。
【64题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：1267年，一位欧洲作家提到了火药，1280年，西方出版了第一批火药配方。空处为句子谓语动词，主语recipes是复数，且根据1280判断为一般过去时。故填were。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意：几个世纪以来，中国的发明对人类文化产生了深远的影响。此处应用名词作主语，助动词have提示主语为复数。故填inventions。

I could feel anger boiling up inside me shirked (避开) the person away with the motion of my hand without even looking at him.
This guy moved over to the next person in traffic and did a similar thing of showing him the paper. The other guy who was not in as bad mood as mine looked at the paper and started giving directions.It was at this moment realized that the person who came to me was asking for directions. He couldn't speak so he had written it down on a piece of paper.He was not some beggar asking for money, and he was dressed as a salesman carrying one of those bully encyclopedias (百科全书). After getting the directions he smiled at the person,bowed his head showing his appreciation and jogged away to the other end of the road.
I felt a sudden tender pity for him.By the time the signal turned green this salesman was standing at the other end of the road signalling people for a lift.I decided to help him out but my house was on a different route than where he was asking for a lift.I moved on but I was still feeling bad fr treating a hard working person that way.

When another bike stopped and he sat on the bike, he noticed me in the distance.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】After going about 100 meters I decided to turn back to offer him a helping hand. Nothing could set my mind at rest other than having a chance to make up for treating him that way. Without hesitation I turned around and made my way to where we first met. When I saw him, the exhausted but patient salesman was still signalling at people for a lift and meanwhile showing them the piece of paper. I pressed my feet down sharply on the pedals in a desperate attempt to offer my help as soon as possible.
When another bike stopped and he sat on the bike, he noticed me in the distance. I thought he would probably pretend not to have seen me. To my surprise, he smiled and waved at me as he was swallowed up by the crowd. I was almost rooted to the spot with regretful tears rolling down my cheeks. Though this incident didn’t change my life, I learned a precious lesson: try to treat others with tolerance and kindness even though sometimes life throws you a curveball.
