A 99-year-old Australian swimmer appears to have broken a world record for his age group in the 50m freestyle. The likely new world record holder, George Corones, clocked 56.12 seconds at an official event in Queensland — a new benchmark for the 100-104 age category. He faded the previous record of 1:31.19, which was set by British swimmer John Harrison in 2014, by 35 seconds. It will now be affirmed by the sports governing body.
Corones, who is qualified for the record because he turns 100 in April, said he was “quite delighted” and “over the world” by the result. He said he had been overwhelmed by the “roaring” crowd on the Gold Coast on Wednesday. The event, in which he was the only entrant (新成员), had been specifically staged for him to challenge the record.
Corones was a keen swimmer in his youth but only began to learn swimming again at the age of 80. He gave it up at the beginning of the World War II, and he didn’t think he would have a swim of any description until he retired. Then he started swimming again for exercise.
Racing undeniably (不可否认的) challenged him physically, but it was manageable with preparation. On average he swims three times a week, and also fits in gym sessions. “At this age it takes a while to get going... you get exhausted much more easily, but if you do it properly, the rewards are astronomical,” he said.
Corones will challenge the 100m freestyle record on Saturday night, believing he can beat the current mark of 03:23.10, which was also set by Harrison.
“I’m not a young man by any means, but I am really looking forward to it and confident I can do it very well,” he said.
24.What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1?
A.To show who John Harrison is.
B.To introduce the topic of the text.
C.To emphasize the importance of age.
D.To explain the reason for writing the text.
25.What does the underlined word “astronomical” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Enormous. B.Original. C.Brief. D.Precise.
26.What does Corones plan to do next?
A.Prepare for his 100th birthday party.
B.Challenge Harrison again.
C.Celebrate his success.
D.Challenge the 100 m backstroke.
27.What does the author tell us by telling Corones’s story?
A.It’s never too late to learn.
B.He who laughs last laughs best.
C.One good turn deserves another.
D.Laziness in youth spells regret in old age.
Margot doesn’t have a garbage can. It doesn’t need one because Margot simply doesn’t cause anything to get thrown away. The restaurant doesn’t allow any type of single use plastic. Margot, which opened last year, is one of the small but growing restaurants around the world aiming to avoid not only food leftovers, but also any garbage.
“Food waste has been increasing as an issue for restaurants over the last 10 years,” says Calvin Brown. He runs the Sustainable Restaurant Association. Based in the United Kingdom, the organization helps food business become more environmentally responsible. He says that food waste contributes to releasing the greenhouse gas, so there is strong motivation to reduce waste and help the environment.
In the USA, food waste and packing account for nearly half of the material sent to landfills. Restaurants from McDonald’s to Starbucks are addressing this issue with “no straw Mondays” and limits on single-serving plastic, but a handful of restaurateurs are trying to get rid of rubbish entirely. There’s also economic case to be made for waste reduction. One study shows that restaurants save seven dollars for every dollar invested in anti-waste methods.
Avoiding food waste is the first and perhaps most obvious challenge for sustainable restaurants. Doug McMaster, chef at Silo in London, only serves a set menu. This removes the worry that one particular item won’t sell well, and will spoil in the refrigerator. Compost (堆肥) is a necessity as well. Nolla (meaning “zero” in Finnish) in Helsinki, Finland is giving compost to its suppliers as well as its diners. Nolla also has food-tracking software more commonly used among corporate food service companies to keep track of what sells and what rots.
Sometimes restaurants call themselves environmentally friendly, but they might just be using the label. Calvin offers some pointers on what to look for to make sure a restaurant is truly committed to sustainability.
28.What does Margot feature?
A.Its large size. B.Its opening hours.
C.Its zero-waste goal. D.Its plastic garbage cans.
29.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.Ways of packaging food.
B.The issue of investing in services.
C.The importance of environmental protection.
D.Efforts of some restaurants to reduce rubbish,
30.Which of the following does Nolla try to do?
A.Only serve a set menu.
B.Hardly use refrigerators.
C.Supply compost to its customers.
D.Keep track of diners’ preferences.
31.What does Calvin think restaurants should do?
A.Expand food business.
B.Use eco-friendly labels.
C.Save money on dealing with kitchen garbage.
D.Contribute to sustainable development of the food industry.
The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) and University of Central Lanca-shire (UCLan) share findings of a project to improve student engagement with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
It’s long been acknowledged that students from disadvantaged backgrounds are under-represented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers. Now, research conducted by UCLan and funded by STFC shows the causes of this problem and points to innovative solutions. The Blackpool Physics; Inspire, Engage, Research (PIER) project found that primary school children from low socio-economic areas are just as interested in science but lack knowledge about possible science careers.
The PIER project is following a group of pupils as they progress from Grade 6 to Grade 9, using surveys, interviews and other assessments to measure interest in science. These initial findings suggest that attempts to increase science participation among young people should not simply promote the subject as “fun” or “interesting”. Instead, greater impact could be achieved by demonstrating clearly how science can open possible future career opportunities.
Many of the pupils taking part in the study understood that studying science could be useful but few could explain why, suggesting a need for greater education about STEM careers. As well as broadening our understanding of the issue, the PIER project is solving the problem head on. The team has carried out a variety of activities each year for the participants, including “meet the scientists” events, trips to UCLan’s Alston Observatory as well as family science events at school.
Lead Researcher and STFC Fellow in Public Engagement, Professor Robert Walsh, said, “Much government policy towards boosting science in higher education focuses on an assumed lack of interest and desire in low-socioeconomic groups.” However, the enthusiasm is already there and this “hidden science identity” needs to be revealed and translated into real-life prospects for these young people. We’re recommending that programs instead allow young people to explore their science identity more fully and provide innovative ways to discover the jobs that studying science may lead to.
32.What do people generally believe about poor students?
A.They have no interest in STEM careers.
B.They are not engaged enough in science.
C.They are more representative of science.
D.They have many character disadvantages.
33.What does the PIER project pay more attention to?
A.Assessing pupils’ performance.
B.Increasing the surveys of pupils.
C.Demonstrating the potential value of science.
D.Promoting the subject as “fun” or “interesting”.
34.Why does the team conduct various activities?
A.To boost science development.
B.To meet the pupils’ needs for school events.
C.To promote teaching related careers’ development.
D.To improve students’ understanding of STEM careers.
35.What is the best title for the text?
A.What Is the Definition of PIER?
B.Increase Pupils’ Learning Awareness
C.How Does the PIER Project Come into Being?
D.The PIER Project Helps Poor Pupils Engage in Science

Have you ever gone to a museum or a show and been completely blown away by a piece? If you haven’t, go out and get cultured.

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。
As the saying goes, life lies in movement. Doing exercise every day will keep our body and mind active and keep us from diseases. I love all kinds of sports, whether they are indoors or outdoors.
This time I decided to sign up for the upcoming weekend trip to Dalat that our community leader Travis was organizing. Coincidentally, two of my best friends, David and Henry, went with me.
Dalat is a mountain town about seven hours away from Saigon, and a popular destination for climbing. We were determined to take an overnight bus to Dalat from Saigon, an interesting and exciting experience on its own. The bus station was more like a large parking lot where lots of buses parked there, all ready to go. We waited and hoped that we’d make it on our own bus. Eventually we boarded a bus that was lit up in bluish purple like a club. It had bunk beds for us to sleep in. I excitedly climbed up to mine.
The ride should have taken about 5 hours, but took as long as 7 hours. That was because the bus was running on the mountain road all the time, which gave us an early taste of the adventure. I looked up and was afraid that the bus ride was unsafe because we were basically hugging cliffs the whole way. I just closed my eyes and tried to avoid thinking about falling off the road.
Once in Dalat, we checked into our hotel and then went exploring the town. We woke up early the next day. Having prepared climbing supplies, we drove to the main event of the weekend — climbing. Then we went to the foot of the mountain where flowed a huge waterfall. You couldn’t see how big the waterfall was. The roar of the water was deafening. We were overwhelmed by the extraordinary workmanship of nature. When I saw so many cliffs, I felt my heart beating almost out of my chest. I couldn’t help grabbing the hands of David and Henry. Anyway, the thrilling climbing kicked off.
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。
The first few feet weren’t so bad.

这是一篇记叙文。文章开篇借助George Corones 99岁高龄打破50米自由泳世界纪录的故事引出文章中心，通过讲述George Corones游泳的故事，告诉读者学习永远不嫌晚。
1. 写作意图题。 根据文章第一段的内容“A 99-year-old Australian swimmer appears to have broken a world record for his age group in the 50 m freestyle. The likely new world record holder, George Corones, clocked 56.12 seconds at an official event in Queensland — a new benchmark for the 100-104 age category. He faded the previous record of 1:31.19, which was set by British swimmer John Harrison in 2014, by 35 seconds. It will now be affirmed by the sports governing body.（在50米自由泳比赛中，一名99岁的澳大利亚游泳运动员似乎打破了他所在年龄组的世界纪录。在昆士兰举行的一场官方活动中，可能成为世界纪录新保持者的George Corones以56.12秒的成绩打破了100-104岁年龄组的新纪录。他打破了之前1分31秒19的纪录， 比之快了35秒，而这个记录是英国游泳运动员John Harrison在2014年创造的。现在该决定将得到体育管理机构的确认。）”可知，本段介绍George Corones的事迹，而下文还在继续讲他的事迹。由此可知，整篇文章就是围绕George Corones展开的，故作者写第一段的目的就是为了引出下文，引出文章主题。故选B项。
2.词义猜测题。 根据文章第四段“At this age it takes a while to get going... you get exhausted much more easily, but if you do it properly, the rewards are astronomical.（到了这个年纪，你需要花点时间才能开始，你很容易就会筋疲力尽，但如果训练得当，那么你获得的回报是astronomical）”可知，转折连词but后面所表达的内容与前面应是相反相对的，前面说年龄大了，更容易筋疲力尽，但是如果训练得当，那么对应的收获也会很大，故astronomical应与“收获巨大”的含义对应。结合选项可知，Enormous含义与之相符，意为“巨大的、极大的”。故选A项。
3.细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Corones will challenge the 100 m freestyle record on Saturday night, believing he can beat the current mark of 03:23.10, which was also set by Harrison.（科罗恩斯将于周六晚挑战100米自由泳纪录，他相信自己可以打破目前3分23秒10的记录，这也是由哈里森创的。）”可知，Corones打算周六继续挑战Harrison创的100米自由泳记录，即他打算继续挑战Harrison。故选B项。
4.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“ “I’m not a young man by any means, but I am really looking forward to it and confident I can do it very well,” he said.（他说：“无论如何，我已经不年轻了，但我真的很期待，我有信心能做得很好。”）”可知，作者其实是想借助Corones的故事告诉大家，哪怕身体不再年轻，但只要愿意去学习、去拼搏，总会有意想不到的收获，就像Corones一样，80岁才开始学习游泳，但也能破世界纪录，A项It’s never too late to learn.（学习永远不嫌晚。）符合文章大意。故选A项。

这是一篇说明文。 文章主要介绍了世界各地的餐饮业在减少食物垃圾方面为食品业的可持续发展所做出的努力。
1.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“ It doesn’t need one because Margot simply doesn’t cause anything to get thrown away. The restaurant doesn’t allow any type of single use plastic. Margot, which opened last year, is one of the small but growing restaurants around the world aiming to avoid not only food leftovers, but also any garbage.（它不需要垃圾桶，因为Margot根本不会导致任何东西被扔掉。 这家餐厅不允许使用任何类型的一次性塑料。 去年开业的Margot是世界上小型但不断增长的餐厅之一，不仅旨在避免剩菜，也旨在避免任何垃圾。）可知Margot的特点是它的零浪费的目标。故选C项。
2.概括大意题。根据文章第三段“Restaurants from McDonald’s to Starbucks are addressing this issue with “no straw Mondays” and limits on single-serving plastic, but a handful of restaurateurs are trying to get rid of rubbish entirely. There’s also economic case to be made for waste reduction. One study shows that restaurants save seven dollars for every dollar invested in anti-waste methods.（从麦当劳到星巴克，许多餐馆都在用“星期一没有吸管”和对一次性塑料的限制来解决这个问题， 而一些餐馆老板正试图完全清除垃圾。减少浪费也有经济理由。 一项研究表明，餐馆在反浪费方法上每投资1美元，就能节省7美元。）” 可知文章第三段主要讲的是一些餐馆在减少垃圾方面所做出的努力。故选D项。
3.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Compost (堆肥) is a necessity as well. Nolla (meaning “zero” in Finnish) in Helsinki, Finland is giving compost to its suppliers as well as its diners. Nolla also has food- tracking software more commonly used among corporate food service companies to keep track of what sells and what rots.（堆肥也是一种必需。芬兰赫尔辛基的Nolla（芬兰的意思是“零”）正在为其供应商和食客提供堆肥。Nolla还拥有食品跟踪软件，这种软件在企业食品服务公司中更常用，用来跟踪哪些产品在销售，哪些产品在腐烂。 ）”可知Nolla努力提供堆肥给它的顾客。故选C项。
4.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“He says that food waste contributes to releasing the greenhouse gas, so there is strong motivation to reduce waste and help the environment.（他说，食物浪费导致释放温室气体，所以我们有强烈的动力来减少浪费和帮助改善环境。）”以及最后一段“Calvin offers some pointers on what to look for to make sure a restaurant is truly committed to sustainability.（Calvin就如何确保一家餐厅真正致力于可持续发展提供了一些建议。）可知，Calvin认为餐厅应该对食品工业的可持续发展作出贡献。 故选D项。
【答案】32-35 BCDD
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为了帮助来自贫穷地区学生增强对科学、技术、工程和数学的参与度而展开的The PIER项目。
1.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It’s long been acknowledged that students from disadvantaged backgrounds are under-represented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers.（长期以来，人们一直认为，来自弱势背景的学生在科学、技术、工程和数学领域的代表人数不足。）”可知人们通常认为一些弱势背景的学生对科学的参与度不够。故选B项。
2.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“These initial findings suggest that attempts to increase science participation among young people should not simply promote the subject as “fun” or “interesting”. Instead, greater impact could be achieved by demonstrating clearly how science can open possible future career opportunities.（这些初步发现表明，增加年轻人的科学参与的尝试不应该简单地将这一主题推广为“令人愉快的”或“有趣的”。相反，通过清楚地展示科学如何打开未来可能的职业机会，可以获得更大的影响。）可知PIER项目将注意力更多地放在去展示科学的潜在价值上。故选C项。
3.推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Many of the pupils taking part in the study understood that studying science could be useful but few could explain why, suggesting a need for greater education about STEM careers. As well as broadening our understanding of the issue, the PIER project is solving the problem head on. The team has carried out a variety of activities each year for the participants, including “meet the scientists” events, trips to UCLan’s Alston Observatory as well as family science events at school.（许多参与这项研究的学生理解学习科学可能很有用，但很少有人能解释为什么， 这表明需要对STEM职业进行更多的教育。除了扩大我们对这个问题的理解外，PIER项目也在正面解决这个问题。该团队每年为参与者开展各种活动，包括“与科学家见面”活动、前往乌克兰的奥尔斯顿天文台以及在学校举办的家庭科学活动。）”可知这支团队举办各种活动的目的是为了提高学生对STEM职业的理解。故选D项。
4.标题归纳题。 根据文章第一段“The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) and University of Central Lanca-shire (UCLan) share findings of a project to improve student engagement with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).（科学和技术设施委员会和中央兰卡郡大学分享了一个项目的发现，以提高学生对科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)的参与度。）”以及最后一段“ “Much government policy towards boosting science in higher education focuses on an assumed lack of interest and desire in low-socioeconomic groups.” However, the enthusiasm is already there and this “hidden science identity” needs to be revealed and translated into real-life prospects for these young people. We’re recommending that programs instead allow young people to explore their science identity more fully and provide innovative ways to discover the jobs that studying science may lead to.（“政府促进高等教育科学的政策都集中在低社会经济群体兴趣和欲望的缺乏上。”然而，这种热情已经存在，这种“隐藏的科学身份”需要被揭示出来，并转化为这些年轻人的现实生活前景。 我们建议这个项目让年轻人更充分地探索他们的科学身份，并提供创新的方式来发现研究科学可能带来的工作。）”以及其他三段的主要内容可知文章主要是在围绕着PIER项目如何帮助贫穷的学生更多地从事科学活动展开的。D项“PIER项目帮助贫困学生从事科学研究”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选D项。

【答案】36-40 AEDFG
【解析】
这是一篇议论文。 文章开篇提出很多人认为艺术创作的工作很简单，但作者认为这些外行人士不懂艺术创作的艰难之处，并从艺术创作的灵感、资源、时间等方面论述艺术创作工作的不易，最后总结出艺术创作本身就是一件艺术，需要耐心、时间、空间。
1.上文“I’m a student at the College of Visual and Performing Arts where we create all kinds of art every day.（我是一名视觉与表演艺术学院的学生，每天都在创作各种各样的艺术作品）”，下文“But I don’t think those people truly know the difficulties and struggles in the process of making art.（但是我认为那些人并不是真正了解艺术创作过程中的艰辛。）”，说明中间设空处需要填一个意思与其相反相对的表达。A项“Outsiders think our jobs easy.（外人认为我们的工作很容易。）”恰好与之对应，下文的those people指代A项中的Outsiders， 下文的difficult也与A项中的easy对应。故选A项。
2.上文“First of all, we need to be inspired. You may think that’s easy. In fact, anything can serve as a concept of a work of art.（首先，我们需要灵感。你可能认为这很容易。事实上，任何东西都可以作为艺术作品的概念。）”提到了艺术创作需要灵感，而任何东西都可以作为艺术作品的概念，这是容易的部分。而下文“Sometimes we will need people, volunteers, bodies to do so and finding willing people to work is hard.（有时我们需要人、志愿者、人模来做这些，而找到愿意做这些工作的人很难。）”提到很难找到愿意做这些工作的人，属于艺术创作工作中难的部分。 因此中间需要有过度， E项“The hard part comes when we put our ideas into reality.（我们要把想法变为实际时，困难就来了。）”恰好能把上下文衔接起来。故选E项。
3.本题设空处位于段首，根据下文“We need a space to be able to be creative and that can be tricky to acquire. Sometimes we need art supplies or certain equipment and costumes and that can cost money. Even if we do acquire what we need, visions change and mistakes happen so we might not end up using the resources.（我们需要一个能够发挥创造力的空间，而这很难获得。有时我们需要一些艺术用品或某些设备和服装，这需要花钱。 即使我们获得了我们需要的东西，我们的想法会发生变化，错误也会随之出现，所以我们可能最终不会使用这些资源。）”可知，整段内容都在讲艺术创作需要用到的资源，故段首句需要含括整段内容。结合选项可知，D项“Resources are also a huge factor in making art.（资源也是艺术创作的一个重要因素。）” 一方面能概括整段内容，另一方面also与第二段的first of all对应。故选D项。
4.上文“The process can take weeks, months, and even years to be fully realized. Once completed, we need to share it and find an audience and provide an environment to display our work.（这个过程可能需要几周、几个月、甚至几年的时间才能完全实现。 一旦完成，我们需要分享它，找个观众，并提供一个环境来展示我们的作品。）”提到了作品完成后会做的事情；下文“What if nobody likes what we created? What if our vision isn’t what we thought though completed?（如果没有人喜欢我们创造的东西怎么办？如果我们的想法并不如我们所想的那样完成了呢？）”是对完成作品后可能出现问题的假设，且都是一些消极的想法，F项“And the negative thoughts love to overpower our minds.（我们的大脑里总是充斥着各种消极的想法。）”恰好与下文的消极设问对应。故选F项。
5.上文“Creating art is an art in itself. It is really not as easy as many people think.（艺术创作本身就是一种艺术。这真的不像许多人想的那么容易。）”总结性地提到了艺术创作并不是那么容易的；下文“It’s how we express ourselves and how we communicate with the rest of the world.（它是我们表达自我的方式，也是我们与世界交流的方式。）”总结了艺术创作对从事艺术的人的意义，故中间同样需要一句总结性的话语，表明艺术创作的不易。G项“It takes time, patience and space when things don’t go as expected.（当事情不像预期那样发展时，需要时间、耐心和空间。）”恰好总结了前面几段的内容，符合文意。故选G项。

【答案】
The first few feet weren’t so bad. At some point, though, the water was beating down on my face. As a skinny girl, climbing such a high mountain is a great challenge for me. I slipped and almost fell down. It ended up fine, since David and Henry held me up. They asked me in unison, “Are you OK?” I said it was OK and kept going. I never fell behind and struggled to climb upstairs. However, the higher we went, the harder it got.
Travis suddenly turned around and shouted, “Focus on teamwork!” Then we helped each other and shared food to build up our strength. What made me continue going was the overwhelming support I got from the group. In the last 100 meters from the top of the mountain, hand in hand, we finally arrived at our destination. Everyone cheered loudly. We came to realize that perseverance and team cooperation were the key to climbing.

A 99-year-old Australian swimmer appears to have broken a world record for his age group in the 50m freestyle. The likely new world record holder, George Corones, clocked 56.12 seconds at an official event in Queensland — a new benchmark for the 100-104 age category. He faded the previous record of 1:31.19, which was set by British swimmer John Harrison in 2014, by 35 seconds. It will now be affirmed by the sports governing body.
Corones, who is qualified for the record because he turns 100 in April, said he was “quite delighted” and “over the world” by the result. He said he had been overwhelmed by the “roaring” crowd on the Gold Coast on Wednesday. The event, in which he was the only entrant (新成员), had been specifically staged for him to challenge the record.
Corones was a keen swimmer in his youth but only began to learn swimming again at the age of 80. He gave it up at the beginning of the World War II, and he didn’t think he would have a swim of any description until he retired. Then he started swimming again for exercise.
Racing undeniably (不可否认的) challenged him physically, but it was manageable with preparation. On average he swims three times a week, and also fits in gym sessions. “At this age it takes a while to get going... you get exhausted much more easily, but if you do it properly, the rewards are astronomical,” he said.
Corones will challenge the 100m freestyle record on Saturday night, believing he can beat the current mark of 03:23.10, which was also set by Harrison.
“I’m not a young man by any means, but I am really looking forward to it and confident I can do it very well,” he said.
24.What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1?
A.To show who John Harrison is.
B.To introduce the topic of the text.
C.To emphasize the importance of age.
D.To explain the reason for writing the text.
25.What does the underlined word “astronomical” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Enormous. B.Original. C.Brief. D.Precise.
26.What does Corones plan to do next?
A.Prepare for his 100th birthday party.
B.Challenge Harrison again.

Margot doesn’t have a garbage can. It doesn’t need one because Margot simply doesn’t cause anything to get thrown away. The restaurant doesn’t allow any type of single use plastic. Margot, which opened last year, is one of the small but growing restaurants around the world aiming to avoid not only food leftovers, but also any garbage.
“Food waste has been increasing as an issue for restaurants over the last 10 years,” says Calvin Brown. He runs the Sustainable Restaurant Association. Based in the United Kingdom, the organization helps food business become more environmentally responsible. He says that food waste contributes to releasing the greenhouse gas, so there is strong motivation to reduce waste and help the environment.
In the USA, food waste and packing account for nearly half of the material sent to landfills. Restaurants from McDonald’s to Starbucks are addressing this issue with “no straw Mondays” and limits on single-serving plastic, but a handful of restaurateurs are trying to get rid of rubbish entirely. There’s also economic case to be made for waste reduction. One study shows that restaurants save seven dollars for every dollar invested in anti-waste methods.
Avoiding food waste is the first and perhaps most obvious challenge for sustainable restaurants. Doug McMaster, chef at Silo in London, only serves a set menu. This removes the worry that one particular item won’t sell well, and will spoil in the refrigerator. Compost (堆肥) is a necessity as well. Nolla (meaning “zero” in Finnish) in Helsinki, Finland is giving compost to its suppliers as well as its diners. Nolla also has food-tracking software more commonly used among corporate food service companies to keep track of what sells and what rots.
Sometimes restaurants call themselves environmentally friendly, but they might just be using the label. Calvin offers some pointers on what to look for to make sure a restaurant is truly committed to sustainability.
28.What does Margot feature?
A.Its large size. B.Its opening hours.
C.Its zero-waste goal. D.Its plastic garbage cans.
29.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.Ways of packaging food.
B.The issue of investing in services.
C.The importance of environmental protection.
D.Efforts of some restaurants to reduce rubbish,
30.Which of the following does Nolla try to do?
A.Only serve a set menu.
B.Hardly use refrigerators.
C.Supply compost to its customers.
D.Keep track of diners’ preferences.
31.What does Calvin think restaurants should do?
A.Expand food business.
B.Use eco-friendly labels.
C.Save money on dealing with kitchen garbage.
D.Contribute to sustainable development of the food industry.
The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) and University of Central Lanca-shire (UCLan) share findings of a project to improve student engagement with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
It’s long been acknowledged that students from disadvantaged backgrounds are under-represented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers. Now, research conducted by UCLan and funded by STFC shows the causes of this problem and points to innovative solutions. The Blackpool Physics; Inspire, Engage, Research (PIER) project found that primary school children from low socio-economic areas are just as interested in science but lack knowledge about possible science careers.
The PIER project is following a group of pupils as they progress from Grade 6 to Grade 9, using surveys, interviews and other assessments to measure interest in science. These initial findings suggest that attempts to increase science participation among young people should not simply promote the subject as “fun” or “interesting”. Instead, greater impact could be achieved by demonstrating clearly how science can open possible future career opportunities.
Many of the pupils taking part in the study understood that studying science could be useful but few could explain why, suggesting a need for greater education about STEM careers. As well as broadening our understanding of the issue, the PIER project is solving the problem head on. The team has carried out a variety of activities each year for the participants, including “meet the scientists” events, trips to UCLan’s Alston Observatory as well as family science events at school.
Lead Researcher and STFC Fellow in Public Engagement, Professor Robert Walsh, said, “Much government policy towards boosting science in higher education focuses on an assumed lack of interest and desire in low-socioeconomic groups.” However, the enthusiasm is already there and this “hidden science identity” needs to be revealed and translated into real-life prospects for these young people. We’re recommending that programs instead allow young people to explore their science identity more fully and provide innovative ways to discover the jobs that studying science may lead to.
32.What do people generally believe about poor students?
A.They have no interest in STEM careers.
B.They are not engaged enough in science.
C.They are more representative of science.
D.They have many character disadvantages.
33.What does the PIER project pay more attention to?
A.Assessing pupils’ performance.
B.Increasing the surveys of pupils.
C.Demonstrating the potential value of science.
D.Promoting the subject as “fun” or “interesting”.
34.Why does the team conduct various activities?
A.To boost science development.
B.To meet the pupils’ needs for school events.
C.To promote teaching related careers’ development.
D.To improve students’ understanding of STEM careers.
35.What is the best title for the text?
A.What Is the Definition of PIER?
B.Increase Pupils’ Learning Awareness
C.How Does the PIER Project Come into Being?
D.The PIER Project Helps Poor Pupils Engage in Science

As the saying goes, life lies in movement. Doing exercise every day will keep our body and mind active and keep us from diseases. I love all kinds of sports, whether they are indoors or outdoors.
This time I decided to sign up for the upcoming weekend trip to Dalat that our community leader Travis was organizing. Coincidentally, two of my best friends, David and Henry, went with me.
Dalat is a mountain town about seven hours away from Saigon, and a popular destination for climbing. We were determined to take an overnight bus to Dalat from Saigon, an interesting and exciting experience on its own. The bus station was more like a large parking lot where lots of buses parked there, all ready to go. We waited and hoped that we’d make it on our own bus. Eventually we boarded a bus that was lit up in bluish purple like a club. It had bunk beds for us to sleep in. I excitedly climbed up to mine.
The ride should have taken about 5 hours, but took as long as 7 hours. That was because the bus was running on the mountain road all the time, which gave us an early taste of the adventure. I looked up and was afraid that the bus ride was unsafe because we were basically hugging cliffs the whole way. I just closed my eyes and tried to avoid thinking about falling off the road.
Once in Dalat, we checked into our hotel and then went exploring the town. We woke up early the next day. Having prepared climbing supplies, we drove to the main event of the weekend — climbing. Then we went to the foot of the mountain where flowed a huge waterfall. You couldn’t see how big the waterfall was. The roar of the water was deafening. We were overwhelmed by the extraordinary workmanship of nature. When I saw so many cliffs, I felt my heart beating almost out of my chest. I couldn’t help grabbing the hands of David and Henry. Anyway, the thrilling climbing kicked off.

1.续写词数应为150左右;

这是一篇记叙文。文章开篇借助George Corones 99岁高龄打破50米自由泳世界纪录的故事引出文章中心，通过讲述George Corones游泳的故事，告诉读者学习永远不嫌晚。
1. 写作意图题。 根据文章第一段的内容“A 99-year-old Australian swimmer appears to have broken a world record for his age group in the 50 m freestyle. The likely new world record holder, George Corones, clocked 56.12 seconds at an official event in Queensland — a new benchmark for the 100-104 age category. He faded the previous record of 1:31.19, which was set by British swimmer John Harrison in 2014, by 35 seconds. It will now be affirmed by the sports governing body.（在50米自由泳比赛中，一名99岁的澳大利亚游泳运动员似乎打破了他所在年龄组的世界纪录。在昆士兰举行的一场官方活动中，可能成为世界纪录新保持者的George Corones以56.12秒的成绩打破了100-104岁年龄组的新纪录。他打破了之前1分31秒19的纪录， 比之快了35秒，而这个记录是英国游泳运动员John Harrison在2014年创造的。现在该决定将得到体育管理机构的确认。）”可知，本段介绍George Corones的事迹，而下文还在继续讲他的事迹。由此可知，整篇文章就是围绕George Corones展开的，故作者写第一段的目的就是为了引出下文，引出文章主题。故选B项。
2.词义猜测题。 根据文章第四段“At this age it takes a while to get going... you get exhausted much more easily, but if you do it properly, the rewards are astronomical.（到了这个年纪，你需要花点时间才能开始，你很容易就会筋疲力尽，但如果训练得当，那么你获得的回报是astronomical）”可知，转折连词but后面所表达的内容与前面应是相反相对的，前面说年龄大了，更容易筋疲力尽，但是如果训练得当，那么对应的收获也会很大，故astronomical应与“收获巨大”的含义对应。结合选项可知，Enormous含义与之相符，意为“巨大的、极大的”。故选A项。
3.细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Corones will challenge the 100 m freestyle record on Saturday night, believing he can beat the current mark of 03:23.10, which was also set by Harrison.（科罗恩斯将于周六晚挑战100米自由泳纪录，他相信自己可以打破目前3分23秒10的记录，这也是由哈里森创的。）”可知，Corones打算周六继续挑战Harrison创的100米自由泳记录，即他打算继续挑战Harrison。故选B项。
4.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“ “I’m not a young man by any means, but I am really looking forward to it and confident I can do it very well,” he said.（他说：“无论如何，我已经不年轻了，但我真的很期待，我有信心能做得很好。”）”可知，作者其实是想借助Corones的故事告诉大家，哪怕身体不再年轻，但只要愿意去学习、去拼搏，总会有意想不到的收获，就像Corones一样，80岁才开始学习游泳，但也能破世界纪录，A项It’s never too late to learn.（学习永远不嫌晚。）符合文章大意。故选A项。
【答案】28-31 CDCD
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。 文章主要介绍了世界各地的餐饮业在减少食物垃圾方面为食品业的可持续发展所做出的努力。
1.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“ It doesn’t need one because Margot simply doesn’t cause anything to get thrown away. The restaurant doesn’t allow any type of single use plastic. Margot, which opened last year, is one of the small but growing restaurants around the world aiming to avoid not only food leftovers, but also any garbage.（它不需要垃圾桶，因为Margot根本不会导致任何东西被扔掉。 这家餐厅不允许使用任何类型的一次性塑料。 去年开业的Margot是世界上小型但不断增长的餐厅之一，不仅旨在避免剩菜，也旨在避免任何垃圾。）可知Margot的特点是它的零浪费的目标。故选C项。
2.概括大意题。根据文章第三段“Restaurants from McDonald’s to Starbucks are addressing this issue with “no straw Mondays” and limits on single-serving plastic, but a handful of restaurateurs are trying to get rid of rubbish entirely. There’s also economic case to be made for waste reduction. One study shows that restaurants save seven dollars for every dollar invested in anti-waste methods.（从麦当劳到星巴克，许多餐馆都在用“星期一没有吸管”和对一次性塑料的限制来解决这个问题， 而一些餐馆老板正试图完全清除垃圾。减少浪费也有经济理由。 一项研究表明，餐馆在反浪费方法上每投资1美元，就能节省7美元。）” 可知文章第三段主要讲的是一些餐馆在减少垃圾方面所做出的努力。故选D项。
3.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Compost (堆肥) is a necessity as well. Nolla (meaning “zero” in Finnish) in Helsinki, Finland is giving compost to its suppliers as well as its diners. Nolla also has food- tracking software more commonly used among corporate food service companies to keep track of what sells and what rots.（堆肥也是一种必需。芬兰赫尔辛基的Nolla（芬兰的意思是“零”）正在为其供应商和食客提供堆肥。Nolla还拥有食品跟踪软件，这种软件在企业食品服务公司中更常用，用来跟踪哪些产品在销售，哪些产品在腐烂。 ）”可知Nolla努力提供堆肥给它的顾客。故选C项。
4.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“He says that food waste contributes to releasing the greenhouse gas, so there is strong motivation to reduce waste and help the environment.（他说，食物浪费导致释放温室气体，所以我们有强烈的动力来减少浪费和帮助改善环境。）”以及最后一段“Calvin offers some pointers on what to look for to make sure a restaurant is truly committed to sustainability.（Calvin就如何确保一家餐厅真正致力于可持续发展提供了一些建议。）可知，Calvin认为餐厅应该对食品工业的可持续发展作出贡献。 故选D项。
【答案】32-35 BCDD
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为了帮助来自贫穷地区学生增强对科学、技术、工程和数学的参与度而展开的The PIER项目。
1.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It’s long been acknowledged that students from disadvantaged backgrounds are under-represented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers.（长期以来，人们一直认为，来自弱势背景的学生在科学、技术、工程和数学领域的代表人数不足。）”可知人们通常认为一些弱势背景的学生对科学的参与度不够。故选B项。
2.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“These initial findings suggest that attempts to increase science participation among young people should not simply promote the subject as “fun” or “interesting”. Instead, greater impact could be achieved by demonstrating clearly how science can open possible future career opportunities.（这些初步发现表明，增加年轻人的科学参与的尝试不应该简单地将这一主题推广为“令人愉快的”或“有趣的”。相反，通过清楚地展示科学如何打开未来可能的职业机会，可以获得更大的影响。）可知PIER项目将注意力更多地放在去展示科学的潜在价值上。故选C项。
3.推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Many of the pupils taking part in the study understood that studying science could be useful but few could explain why, suggesting a need for greater education about STEM careers. As well as broadening our understanding of the issue, the PIER project is solving the problem head on. The team has carried out a variety of activities each year for the participants, including “meet the scientists” events, trips to UCLan’s Alston Observatory as well as family science events at school.（许多参与这项研究的学生理解学习科学可能很有用，但很少有人能解释为什么， 这表明需要对STEM职业进行更多的教育。除了扩大我们对这个问题的理解外，PIER项目也在正面解决这个问题。该团队每年为参与者开展各种活动，包括“与科学家见面”活动、前往乌克兰的奥尔斯顿天文台以及在学校举办的家庭科学活动。）”可知这支团队举办各种活动的目的是为了提高学生对STEM职业的理解。故选D项。
4.标题归纳题。 根据文章第一段“The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) and University of Central Lanca-shire (UCLan) share findings of a project to improve student engagement with science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).（科学和技术设施委员会和中央兰卡郡大学分享了一个项目的发现，以提高学生对科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)的参与度。）”以及最后一段“ “Much government policy towards boosting science in higher education focuses on an assumed lack of interest and desire in low-socioeconomic groups.” However, the enthusiasm is already there and this “hidden science identity” needs to be revealed and translated into real-life prospects for these young people. We’re recommending that programs instead allow young people to explore their science identity more fully and provide innovative ways to discover the jobs that studying science may lead to.（“政府促进高等教育科学的政策都集中在低社会经济群体兴趣和欲望的缺乏上。”然而，这种热情已经存在，这种“隐藏的科学身份”需要被揭示出来，并转化为这些年轻人的现实生活前景。 我们建议这个项目让年轻人更充分地探索他们的科学身份，并提供创新的方式来发现研究科学可能带来的工作。）”以及其他三段的主要内容可知文章主要是在围绕着PIER项目如何帮助贫穷的学生更多地从事科学活动展开的。D项“PIER项目帮助贫困学生从事科学研究”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选D项。

【解析】
这是一篇议论文。 文章开篇提出很多人认为艺术创作的工作很简单，但作者认为这些外行人士不懂艺术创作的艰难之处，并从艺术创作的灵感、资源、时间等方面论述艺术创作工作的不易，最后总结出艺术创作本身就是一件艺术，需要耐心、时间、空间。
1.上文“I’m a student at the College of Visual and Performing Arts where we create all kinds of art every day.（我是一名视觉与表演艺术学院的学生，每天都在创作各种各样的艺术作品）”，下文“But I don’t think those people truly know the difficulties and struggles in the process of making art.（但是我认为那些人并不是真正了解艺术创作过程中的艰辛。）”，说明中间设空处需要填一个意思与其相反相对的表达。A项“Outsiders think our jobs easy.（外人认为我们的工作很容易。）”恰好与之对应，下文的those people指代A项中的Outsiders， 下文的difficult也与A项中的easy对应。故选A项。
2.上文“First of all, we need to be inspired. You may think that’s easy. In fact, anything can serve as a concept of a work of art.（首先，我们需要灵感。你可能认为这很容易。事实上，任何东西都可以作为艺术作品的概念。）”提到了艺术创作需要灵感，而任何东西都可以作为艺术作品的概念，这是容易的部分。而下文“Sometimes we will need people, volunteers, bodies to do so and finding willing people to work is hard.（有时我们需要人、志愿者、人模来做这些，而找到愿意做这些工作的人很难。）”提到很难找到愿意做这些工作的人，属于艺术创作工作中难的部分。 因此中间需要有过度， E项“The hard part comes when we put our ideas into reality.（我们要把想法变为实际时，困难就来了。）”恰好能把上下文衔接起来。故选E项。
3.本题设空处位于段首，根据下文“We need a space to be able to be creative and that can be tricky to acquire. Sometimes we need art supplies or certain equipment and costumes and that can cost money. Even if we do acquire what we need, visions change and mistakes happen so we might not end up using the resources.（我们需要一个能够发挥创造力的空间，而这很难获得。有时我们需要一些艺术用品或某些设备和服装，这需要花钱。 即使我们获得了我们需要的东西，我们的想法会发生变化，错误也会随之出现，所以我们可能最终不会使用这些资源。）”可知，整段内容都在讲艺术创作需要用到的资源，故段首句需要含括整段内容。结合选项可知，D项“Resources are also a huge factor in making art.（资源也是艺术创作的一个重要因素。）” 一方面能概括整段内容，另一方面also与第二段的first of all对应。故选D项。
4.上文“The process can take weeks, months, and even years to be fully realized. Once completed, we need to share it and find an audience and provide an environment to display our work.（这个过程可能需要几周、几个月、甚至几年的时间才能完全实现。 一旦完成，我们需要分享它，找个观众，并提供一个环境来展示我们的作品。）”提到了作品完成后会做的事情；下文“What if nobody likes what we created? What if our vision isn’t what we thought though completed?（如果没有人喜欢我们创造的东西怎么办？如果我们的想法并不如我们所想的那样完成了呢？）”是对完成作品后可能出现问题的假设，且都是一些消极的想法，F项“And the negative thoughts love to overpower our minds.（我们的大脑里总是充斥着各种消极的想法。）”恰好与下文的消极设问对应。故选F项。
5.上文“Creating art is an art in itself. It is really not as easy as many people think.（艺术创作本身就是一种艺术。这真的不像许多人想的那么容易。）”总结性地提到了艺术创作并不是那么容易的；下文“It’s how we express ourselves and how we communicate with the rest of the world.（它是我们表达自我的方式，也是我们与世界交流的方式。）”总结了艺术创作对从事艺术的人的意义，故中间同样需要一句总结性的话语，表明艺术创作的不易。G项“It takes time, patience and space when things don’t go as expected.（当事情不像预期那样发展时，需要时间、耐心和空间。）”恰好总结了前面几段的内容，符合文意。故选G项。

The Benefits of Reading
As we know, reading makes a full man. However, nowadays some people spend little time reading because of their tight schedules. They’re too busy with endless work to attach importance to reading.
In fact, reading is of great benefit to us. Reading is to our mental life what water is to fish. It enriches us and changes our temperament. A good book is often compared to a faithful friend, who can guide us in unfavorable conditions.
The more we read, the better we’ll get. Let’s read more and we’ll surely make a big difference in our life tomorrow.

【答案】
The first few feet weren’t so bad. At some point, though, the water was beating down on my face. As a skinny girl, climbing such a high mountain is a great challenge for me. I slipped and almost fell down. It ended up fine, since David and Henry held me up. They asked me in unison, “Are you OK?” I said it was OK and kept going. I never fell behind and struggled to climb upstairs. However, the higher we went, the harder it got.
Travis suddenly turned around and shouted, “Focus on teamwork!” Then we helped each other and shared food to build up our strength. What made me continue going was the overwhelming support I got from the group. In the last 100 meters from the top of the mountain, hand in hand, we finally arrived at our destination. Everyone cheered loudly. We came to realize that perseverance and team cooperation were the key to climbing.
