【23题详解】

B
I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.
I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.
It takes confidence to make a new-start there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there. ” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.
Then I met an agen(代理商)who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.
The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal — that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.
It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck — of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract(合同)of the publisher — to be a published writer — is unbelievably rewarding(有回报的).
24. What can be inferred from the first paragraph？
A. I was seeking to find an admirable job. B. I was waiting for good fortune .
C. I was being aimless about an appropriate job. D. I was doing several jobs for more at a time.
25. Why did the author begin to write a novel?
A. Because the author wanted to finish the writing course.
B. Because the author aimed to fulfill his dream.
C. Because the author would like to meet readers’ needs.
D. Because the author intended to earn more money.
26. How did the author feel halfway with the novel?
A. Unsure B. Ashamed C. Confident D. Embarrassed
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Good luck makes a difference.
B. Hard work can lead to success.
C. The early bird catches the worm.
D. It pays to stick to one's dream.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者大学毕业时获得英国文学学位,但是不知道自己该干什么。做过一些工作后明白自己还是乐意与书打交道,接着就是写小说、找代理人、签约、找出版商，最后终于成为一名作家。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do…Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher.（我在大学毕业时获得了英国文学的好学位，但对自己想做什么一无所知。在接下来的六年里，我一直在原地踏步，只是想挣点收入。我尝试过新闻业，但我觉得自己一点也不在行;然后是我讨厌的金融行业。最后，我在一家著名的出版社找到了一份权利助理的工作。）”可推知，作者对合适的工作没有目标。故选C。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel.（我决定试着满足自己写小说的内心愿望。）”可推知，作者写小说是为了实现他的梦想。故选B。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“I’m writing a novel, but I'm not quite sure if I'm going to get there（我正在写一部小说，但我不太确定我是否能写得那样好）”可知，作者在写小说的过程中并不确定是否能达到目标。故选A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。文章讲述作者大学毕业时获得英国文学学位,但是不知道自己该干什么。做过一些工作后明白自己还是乐意与书打交道,接着就是写小说、找代理人、签约、找出版商，最后终于成为一名作家。结合最后一段的“so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract(合同)of the publisher — to be a published writer — is unbelievably rewarding(有回报的).（发现自己现在处在一个在出版社的合同上有自己的名字的位置——成为一名出版作家——是难以置信的回报）”可知，通过坚持和努力找到自己的位置是值得的, D 选项“It pays to stick to one's goal(坚持自己的目标是值得的)”符合文章主旨。故选 D。
C
The transatlantic car carrier, Oceanbird, is being designed by Wallenius Marine, a Swedish shipbuilder,with support from the Swedish government.
With a capacity(容量) of 7,000 vehicles, the 650 foot-long vessel will have a similar size to ordinary car carriers, but it will look totally different. The ship will have five “wing sails”, with each being 260 feet tall. These sails are capable of turning 360 degrees, and it can be shortened to 195 feet in order to pass under bridges or withstand rough weather.
Although the general theory of wing sails is not new, designing the Oceanbird’s sails has been a challenge, says Mikael Razola, the research project manager for Oceanbird. “That’s because these are the tallest sails that have ever been constructed. The top of the sails will be more than 100 meters above the water surface. At such a height, the wind direction and speed change a lot,” says Razola.
To better understand the atmospheric conditions(大气条件) at this height, Wallenius put sensors on top of its existing vessels to gather data of wind. “All of this information has helped us make the most of the power available in the wind and design an efficient wing vessel,” says Razola.
With its special sails, Oceanbird will outperform conventional car carriers in the aspect of exhaust emission. Nowadays, the shipping industry is under pressure to reduce emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. According to the International Maritime Organization, the UN body that regulates global shipping, shipping accounted for 2. 89% of global manmade greenhouse gas emissions in 2018. And in the same year, this organization introduced a mandatory( 强 制 的 ) 50% reduction of total annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Oceanbird is designed to exceed(超过) the target---Wallenious said the ship would emit 90% less CO2 than other car carriers.
With a stop speed of about 10 knots, Oceanbird will be slower than standard car carriers, which can travel at 17 knots. It will take around 12 days, instead of the standard seven to cross the Atlantic. “This long journey will require some scheduling changes as well as acceptance from carmakers,” said Razola. “But the response so far has been very positive. ”
Researchers in Wallenious have built a 7-meter model of Oceanbird which will sail in Stockholm’s archipelago to gather data that will help finalize the ship’s design. “It will take around three years to launch the full-size version. Our ambition is to see Oceanbird sailing in 2024,” Razola said.
28. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The design of Oceanbird.
B. The capacity of Oceanbird.
C. The operating method of wing sails.
D. The sailing conditions for car carriers.
29. What brings challenges to the design of Oceanbird’s sails?
A. The lack of financial support. B. The lack of previous theories.
C. The wind conditions at different heights. D. The tough weather on the Atlantic Ocean.
30. What will Wallenious do in the future according to Paragraph 6?
A Increase the sailing speed.
B. Arrange a scientific sailing schedule.
C. Handle the conflicts between carmakers.
D. Use standard ships instead of Oceanbird
31. Which of the following best describes Oceanbird?
A. Giant and inconvenient.
B. Low-cost but inefficient.
C. High-capacity and high-speed.
D. Well-designed and environment-friendly.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了最新设计的巨型跨大西洋汽车运输船 Oceanbird。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二自然段“With a capacity(容量) of 7,000 vehicles, the 650 foot-long vessel...The ship will have five “wing sails”, with each being 260 feet tall...are capable of turning 360 degrees...”（这艘650英尺长的船可容纳7000辆车辆……这艘船将有五个“翼帆”，每个高260英尺。……能够360度旋转…）可知第二自然段主要介绍了Oceanbird 的容量、尺寸、外观、性能，即 Oceanbird 的设计。故选A项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三自然段 Razola所说的话“That’s because these are the tallest sails that have ever been constructed… At such a height, the wind direction and speed change a lot. ”（他们有最高的帆… 这样的高度，风向和速度的变化很大。）可推断，Oceanbird 帆的设计遇到的挑战是不同的高度风向和风速也不同。故选C项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六自然段“The long journey will require some scheduling changes as well as acceptance from carmakers.”（这一漫长的航行将需要一些日程安排的改变以及汽车制造商的接受。）可知Wallenious 需要更科学地安排航行计划。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二自然段中各种数据可知Oceanbird设计精良，根据第五自然段“Oceanbird is designed to exceed(超过) the target---Wallenious said the ship would emit 90% less CO2 than other car carriers.”（ Wallenious说，这艘船的二氧化碳排放量将比其他汽车运输船少90%。）可知Oceanbird绿色环保。故选D项。
D
Plastic garbage is one of the world’s biggest environmental headaches. Some plastic items like water bottles and shopping bags can last for hundreds of years after being thrown away, with all this plastic rubbish disrupting ecosystems and disturbing the habitats of wildlife.
There have been several projects to help control plastic production, but researchers may have found a natural way to get rid of the products.
Waxworms, which are confusingly classed as caterpillars(毛毛虫), are the honey bee’s worst nightmares, as they lay their eggs inside their hives(蜂巢). Amateur beekeeper Federica Bertocchini decided to use plastic bags to protect the hives, however she was dumbfounded when she discover the insects were able to eat holes into the sides of the bags.
The beekeeper’s surprising findings sparked a study. Bertocchini, from the Spanish National Research Council, teamed up with scientists from Cambridge University to perform some tests.
When the team put about one hundred waxworms into a standard UK plastic shopping bag, they began feasting. After about 12 hours they’d eaten roughly 92 milligrams of the bag.
In all, this isn’t huge amount, but it’s a lot faster than other natural ways. Last year, researchers found a specific type of bacteria( 细 菌 )could eat plastic, but at a rate of 0. 13 milligrams a day, making this is a massive jump in the search for a natural way to dispose(处理) plastic.
The team is still not 100 percent sure how the worms do what they do, but they’re heralding this as an important first step to get rid of pollution.
Luckily, while that team works out the answer, plastic manufacturers have found a way to make their products much more environmentally friendly. There are three types of environmentally friendly plastics: bioplastics(which are made from corn starch), biodegradable plastics(which break down quicker) and recycled plastic.
Hopefully with these new products, we will get closer to a society that is less harmful to the environment.
32. Why is plastic garbage a huge environmental headache?
A. Because some plastic bottles can stay on the street for many years.
B. Because this kind of rubbish will do great damage to the environment for years.
C. Because more and more plastic bags will make the environment look dull and ugly.
D. Because the plastic rubbish will make the wild life get worse than before.
33. What does the underlined word “dumbfounded” mean in the third paragraph?
A. Shocked. B. Frightened. C. Embarrassed. D. Uncomfortable.
34. How do the waxworms deal with the plastic?
A. They make the plastic into honey.
B. They help scientist develop new plastic.
C. They eat the plastic in an environmentally friendly way.
D. They work with some plastic factories to deal with plastic faster.
35. What is the author’s feeling about the future?
A. The author is optimistic about the environment.
B. There will be more plastic products.
C. The waxworms will play a major role in the future.
D. No one is 100 percent sure what the future will be like.

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。 续写的词数应为 150 左右。
“Do you forget to bring your homework to school?” my sixth-grade math teacher asked. I nodded my head and said in a low voice, “Yes, sir.” What a mistake I had made! I had completed my math homework. But when I headed for school, I forgot to put it into my schoolbag. Now my homework is still lying on the desk at home.
“You will have a get a zero then,” math teacher said. I was shocked. I had never received a zero in a math class before. But the school had rules, and the teacher had to let everyone follow them. I was immediately worried about my final math average, which was based on my homework and the tests. Would I get a C or even a D at the end of the term? If so, what should I do?
My next class was a gym class. As I walked down the hall with my classmates, all those feelings rushed out in hot tears. I wiped them away as quickly as I could. But when we entered the gym and sat down in our spots on the floor, it was clear to everyone around me that I had been crying.
My gym teacher, Ms. Brown, was an athletic teacher, often with a smile on her face. Her class was a good mix of calisthenics(健美体操) and games that give us all a good workout. And Ms. Brown was nice and compassionate(有同情心的). She loved her students and often came to help if the students were in trouble.
During that gym class, my mind was affected by the math homework and I was worried about my final math average. So I failed to devote my attention to Ms. Brown’s direction. And clearly, I was sad. I guessed that Ms. Brown found there was something wrong with me. When it was near the end of the gym class, she walked to me.
Paragraph 1:
She sat down to comfort me.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I felt relaxed and decided to work harder at math.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
She sat down to comfort me. “Are you okay?” she asked. I told her about my trouble. Then Ms. Brown said to me, “We all make mistakes. " She told me what happened to her several days ago. I was surprised that she also made mistakes since I had thought she was perfect. She told me the world didn’t end because I got a zero in a math class and encouraged me to study hard.
Paragraph 2:
I felt relaxed and decided to work harder at math. In math classes, I paid more attention to the teacher's lectures. After reaching home after school, I would do the math homework more carefully. And I left notes to remind me not to forget to bring my homework to school again. At the end of that term, based on my good daily performances and test scores, my final math average was an A. This experience taught me a lesson: as long as we learn from mistakes, we’re making progress.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为情感展开，讲述了一次数学课上没带作业，然后成绩为0，作者很伤心，体育课上被关爱学生的健美老师看出来，老师找作者聊天，至此之后，作者努力学习数学，最终期末平均成绩为A的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“她坐下来安慰我。”可知，第一段可描写老师安慰作者，作者心情好转。
②由第二段首句内容“我感到很放松，决定更加努力地学习数学。”可知，第二段可描写作者努力学习的表现和成果。
2.续写线索：安慰——平静——努力——有成果——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
① 注意：pay attention to/focus on
②鼓励：encourage/cheer up
情绪类
①安慰：comfort/stroke
②放松：feel relaxed/take it easy
【点睛】
[高分句型1] She told me what happened to her several days ago.这句话运用了what引导的宾语从句。
[高分句型2] I was surprised that she also made mistakes since I had thought she was perfect.这句话运用了that引导的宾语从句以及since引导的原因状语从句。

I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.
I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.
It takes confidence to make a new-start there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there. ” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.
Then I met an agen(代理商)who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.
The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal — that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.
It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck — of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract(合同)of the publisher — to be a published writer — is unbelievably rewarding(有回报的).
24. What can be inferred from the first paragraph？
A. I was seeking to find an admirable job. B. I was waiting for good fortune .
C. I was being aimless about an appropriate job. D. I was doing several jobs for more at a time.
25. Why did the author begin to write a novel?
A. Because the author wanted to finish the writing course.
B. Because the author aimed to fulfill his dream.
C. Because the author would like to meet readers’ needs.
D. Because the author intended to earn more money.
26. How did the author feel halfway with the novel?
A. Unsure B. Ashamed C. Confident D. Embarrassed
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Good luck makes a difference.
B. Hard work can lead to success.
C. The early bird catches the worm.
D. It pays to stick to one's dream.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D

The transatlantic car carrier, Oceanbird, is being designed by Wallenius Marine, a Swedish shipbuilder,with support from the Swedish government.
With a capacity(容量) of 7,000 vehicles, the 650 foot-long vessel will have a similar size to ordinary car carriers, but it will look totally different. The ship will have five “wing sails”, with each being 260 feet tall. These sails are capable of turning 360 degrees, and it can be shortened to 195 feet in order to pass under bridges or withstand rough weather.
Although the general theory of wing sails is not new, designing the Oceanbird’s sails has been a challenge, says Mikael Razola, the research project manager for Oceanbird. “That’s because these are the tallest sails that have ever been constructed. The top of the sails will be more than 100 meters above the water surface. At such a height, the wind direction and speed change a lot,” says Razola.
To better understand the atmospheric conditions(大气条件) at this height, Wallenius put sensors on top of its existing vessels to gather data of wind. “All of this information has helped us make the most of the power available in the wind and design an efficient wing vessel,” says Razola.
With its special sails, Oceanbird will outperform conventional car carriers in the aspect of exhaust emission. Nowadays, the shipping industry is under pressure to reduce emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. According to the International Maritime Organization, the UN body that regulates global shipping, shipping accounted for 2. 89% of global manmade greenhouse gas emissions in 2018. And in the same year, this organization introduced a mandatory( 强 制 的 ) 50% reduction of total annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Oceanbird is designed to exceed(超过) the target---Wallenious said the ship would emit 90% less CO2 than other car carriers.
With a stop speed of about 10 knots, Oceanbird will be slower than standard car carriers, which can travel at 17 knots. It will take around 12 days, instead of the standard seven to cross the Atlantic. “This long journey will require some scheduling changes as well as acceptance from carmakers,” said Razola. “But the response so far has been very positive. ”
Researchers in Wallenious have built a 7-meter model of Oceanbird which will sail in Stockholm’s archipelago to gather data that will help finalize the ship’s design. “It will take around three years to launch the full-size version. Our ambition is to see Oceanbird sailing in 2024,” Razola said.
28. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The design of Oceanbird.
B. The capacity of Oceanbird.
C. The operating method of wing sails.
D. The sailing conditions for car carriers.
29. What brings challenges to the design of Oceanbird’s sails?
A. The lack of financial support. B. The lack of previous theories.
C. The wind conditions at different heights. D. The tough weather on the Atlantic Ocean.
30. What will Wallenious do in the future according to Paragraph 6?
A Increase the sailing speed.
B. Arrange a scientific sailing schedule.
C. Handle the conflicts between carmakers.
D. Use standard ships instead of Oceanbird
31. Which of the following best describes Oceanbird?
A. Giant and inconvenient.
B. Low-cost but inefficient.
C. High-capacity and high-speed.
D. Well-designed and environment-friendly.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D

Plastic garbage is one of the world’s biggest environmental headaches. Some plastic items like water bottles and shopping bags can last for hundreds of years after being thrown away, with all this plastic rubbish disrupting ecosystems and disturbing the habitats of wildlife.
There have been several projects to help control plastic production, but researchers may have found a natural way to get rid of the products.
Waxworms, which are confusingly classed as caterpillars(毛毛虫), are the honey bee’s worst nightmares, as they lay their eggs inside their hives(蜂巢). Amateur beekeeper Federica Bertocchini decided to use plastic bags to protect the hives, however she was dumbfounded when she discover the insects were able to eat holes into the sides of the bags.
The beekeeper’s surprising findings sparked a study. Bertocchini, from the Spanish National Research Council, teamed up with scientists from Cambridge University to perform some tests.
When the team put about one hundred waxworms into a standard UK plastic shopping bag, they began feasting. After about 12 hours they’d eaten roughly 92 milligrams of the bag.
In all, this isn’t huge amount, but it’s a lot faster than other natural ways. Last year, researchers found a specific type of bacteria( 细 菌 )could eat plastic, but at a rate of 0. 13 milligrams a day, making this is a massive jump in the search for a natural way to dispose(处理) plastic.
The team is still not 100 percent sure how the worms do what they do, but they’re heralding this as an important first step to get rid of pollution.
Luckily, while that team works out the answer, plastic manufacturers have found a way to make their products much more environmentally friendly. There are three types of environmentally friendly plastics: bioplastics(which are made from corn starch), biodegradable plastics(which break down quicker) and recycled plastic.
Hopefully with these new products, we will get closer to a society that is less harmful to the environment.
32. Why is plastic garbage a huge environmental headache?
A. Because some plastic bottles can stay on the street for many years.
B. Because this kind of rubbish will do great damage to the environment for years.
C. Because more and more plastic bags will make the environment look dull and ugly.
D. Because the plastic rubbish will make the wild life get worse than before.
33. What does the underlined word “dumbfounded” mean in the third paragraph?
A. Shocked. B. Frightened. C. Embarrassed. D. Uncomfortable.
34. How do the waxworms deal with the plastic?
A. They make the plastic into honey.
B. They help scientist develop new plastic.
C. They eat the plastic in an environmentally friendly way.
D. They work with some plastic factories to deal with plastic faster.
35. What is the author’s feeling about the future?
A. The author is optimistic about the environment.
B. There will be more plastic products.
C. The waxworms will play a major role in the future.
D. No one is 100 percent sure what the future will be like.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【分析】本文为说明文。科学家发现有一种毛毛虫可以消化塑料，这将为环保事业的发展做出贡献。

“Do you forget to bring your homework to school?” my sixth-grade math teacher asked. I nodded my head and said in a low voice, “Yes, sir.” What a mistake I had made! I had completed my math homework. But when I headed for school, I forgot to put it into my schoolbag. Now my homework is still lying on the desk at home.
“You will have a get a zero then,” math teacher said. I was shocked. I had never received a zero in a math class before. But the school had rules, and the teacher had to let everyone follow them. I was immediately worried about my final math average, which was based on my homework and the tests. Would I get a C or even a D at the end of the term? If so, what should I do?
My next class was a gym class. As I walked down the hall with my classmates, all those feelings rushed out in hot tears. I wiped them away as quickly as I could. But when we entered the gym and sat down in our spots on the floor, it was clear to everyone around me that I had been crying.
My gym teacher, Ms. Brown, was an athletic teacher, often with a smile on her face. Her class was a good mix of calisthenics(健美体操) and games that give us all a good workout. And Ms. Brown was nice and compassionate(有同情心的). She loved her students and often came to help if the students were in trouble.
During that gym class, my mind was affected by the math homework and I was worried about my final math average. So I failed to devote my attention to Ms. Brown’s direction. And clearly, I was sad. I guessed that Ms. Brown found there was something wrong with me. When it was near the end of the gym class, she walked to me.
Paragraph 1:
She sat down to comfort me.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I felt relaxed and decided to work harder at math.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
She sat down to comfort me. “Are you okay?” she asked. I told her about my trouble. Then Ms. Brown said to me, “We all make mistakes. " She told me what happened to her several days ago. I was surprised that she also made mistakes since I had thought she was perfect. She told me the world didn’t end because I got a zero in a math class and encouraged me to study hard.
Paragraph 2:
I felt relaxed and decided to work harder at math. In math classes, I paid more attention to the teacher's lectures. After reaching home after school, I would do the math homework more carefully. And I left notes to remind me not to forget to bring my homework to school again. At the end of that term, based on my good daily performances and test scores, my final math average was an A. This experience taught me a lesson: as long as we learn from mistakes, we’re making progress.
【解析】
