We are all devastated by the news we have just heard from Balmoral. The death of Her Majesty the Queen is a huge shock to the nation and to the world. Queen Elizabeth II was the rock on which modern Britain was built. Our country has grown and flourished under her reign(统治时期).
Britain is the great country it is today because of her. She ascended the throne just after the Second World War. She championed the development of the Commonwealth(英联邦) — from a small group of 7 countries to a family of 56 nations spanning every continent of the world.
We are now a modern, thriving, dynamic nation. Through thick and thin, Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ provided us with the stability and the strength that we needed. She was the very spirit of Great Britain — and that spirit will endure. She has been our longest-ever reigning monarch(君主). It is an extraordinary achievement to have presided(主持) with such dignity and grace for 70 years. Her life of service stretched beyond most of our living memories. In return, she was loved and admired by the people in the United Kingdom and all around the world. She has been a personal inspiration to me and to many Britons. Her devotion to duty is an example to us all.
Earlier this week, at 96, she remained determined to carry out her duties as she appointed me as her 15th prime minister. Throughout her life she has visited more than 100 countries and she has touched the lives of millions around the world.
In the difficult days ahead, we will come together with our friends across the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth and the world to celebrate her extraordinary lifetime of service. It is a day of great loss, but Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ leaves a great legacy(遗产).
Today the Crown passes — as it is has done for more than a thousand years — to our new monarch, our new head of state: His Majesty King Charles Ⅲ. With the King’s family, we mourn(哀悼) the loss of his mother. And as we mourn, we must come together as a people to support him. To help him bear the awesome responsibility that he now carries for us all, we offer him our loyalty and devotion just as his mother devoted so much to so many for so long. And with the passing of the second Elizabethan age, we usher(进入) in a new era in the magnificent history of our great country.
Exactly as Her Majesty would have wished — by saying the words: “God save the King.”
4. What is the genre(体裁) of this passage?

C
For years, life went something like this: We’d grow up in one place, head off to college, then find a city to live in for a few years to pursue a job or higher education. The end goal was to find somewhere to settle down, buy a house, start a family, and begin the whole cycle all over again. But a new model for living is emerging: Some people are increasingly opting to move from city to city throughout their entire lives, sometimes as frequently as every month.
Just ask Alex Chatzielefteriou, who has had a front-row seat watching this evolution unfold. Six years ago, he launched a startup called Blueground that rents out beautifully designed, fully furnished apartments for a month at a time, at rents that are cheaper than hotels. Today, the company has 3,000 properties in six U.S. cities, along with Dubai, Istanbul, London, Paris, and Chatzielefteriou’s native Athens, and a staff of 400.
The company just landed $ 50 million in Series B funding, bringing its total investment to $ 78 million, to continue its rapid expansion. It hopes to have 50,000 properties in 50 cities over the next three years, and the goal is to make each one feel unique and cozy, rather than standardized, like what you might find in a traditional hotel.
Chatzielefteriou first came up with the idea for Blueground while he was working as a management consultant for McKinsey. “The accommodation of choice for consultants is the hotel,” he says. “I had to spend five years in a hotel room, living in 12 different cities. I loved seeing the world, but I didn’t love feeling like I didn’t have a home.”
As he spoke to his friends and coworkers, he realized that many people were dejected with this lifestyle that meant living out of a suitcase in the same few hotel chains that all began to blend together. And what’s more, hotels aren’t a particularly cost-effective solution for companies either. In Chatzielefteriou’s case, McKinsey sometimes paid $10,000 or more for him to stay in a major city for a month, which was far more expensive than local rents.
8. Chatzielefteriou launched the company Blueground for the following reasons except ________.
A. he wants to feel like home when exploring the world
B. many people around him are tired of hotels
C. hotels are comparatively more expensive
D. he doesn’t have a real home
9. Which of the following apartment may belong to Blueground?
A. An apartment that costs dearly but is fully furnished.
B. An apartment that is standardized and commonly seen.
C. An apartment that has its own style and is comfortable to live in.
D. An apartment that is simply designed with only necessary furniture.
10. Which of the following words may best replace the underlined word in Paragraph 5?
A. frustrated B. confused C. inspired D. satisfied
11. What is the passage mainly about?
A. An introduction of a new hotel for consultants.
B. An introduction of a creative company founder.
C. An introduction of new accommodation for travelers.
D. An introduction of the history of a promising company.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了Alex Chatzielefteriou根据自身所需创立的新兴公司（Blueground），文章介绍了这个公司的现有规模，下步预期规模和灵感起源 。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段 “I had to spend five years in a hotel room, living in 12 different cities. I loved seeing the world, but I didn’t love feeling like I didn’t have a home.”（我曾经在宾馆住过五年，跨越12个不同城市。我喜欢去看世界，但我不喜欢好像自己没家的感觉）可知，他不是没有家，而是不想感觉像没有家。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Six years ago, he launched a startup called Blueground that rents out beautifully designed, fully furnished apartments for a month at a time, at rents that are cheaper than hotels.”（六年前，他创办了一家名为Blueground的初创公司，出租设计精美、家具齐全的公寓，租期一个月，租金比酒店还便宜。）可知，Blueground的公寓设计精美，家具齐全，租金比酒店便宜。因而住在这样的酒店是舒服的。结合选项，选项C与文意相符，故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段“As he spoke to his friends and coworkers, he realized that many people were dejected with this lifestyle that meant living out of a suitcase in the same few hotel chains that all began to blend together. ”（当他与朋友和同事交谈时，他意识到许多人对这种拿着手提箱住在连锁酒店的生活方式感到dejected 。）以及下文“And what’s more, hotels aren’t a particularly cost-effective solution for companies either. ”（更重要的是，酒店对公司来说也不是一个特别划算的解决方案），可知，住酒店对公司来说不划算，因而此处指拿着手提箱住在连锁酒店的生活方式很多人是不喜欢的，所以划线词此处与“frustrated”同义，故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中“But a new model for living is emerging: Some people are increasingly opting to move from city to city throughout their entire lives, sometimes as frequently as every month.”（但是，一种新的生活模式正在出现: 一些人越来越多地选择在他们的整个生活中从一个城市搬到另一个城市，有时频率达到每月一次。）和第二段中“Six years ago, he launched a startup called Blueground that rents out beautifully designed, fully furnished apartments for a month at a time, at rents that are cheaper than hotels.”（六年前，他创办了一家名为Blueground的初创公司，出租设计精美、家具齐全的公寓，租期一个月，租金比酒店还便宜。）同时结合下文对Blueground的细节介绍可知，本文主要讲的是一种新兴的住宿公司。故选C。
D
Up to one fifth of the Amazon rainforest is emitting more carbon dioxide (CO2), than it absorbs, new research suggests.
Results from a decade-long study of greenhouse gases over the Amazon rainforest appear to show around 20% of the total area has become a net source of CO2 in the atmosphere. One of the main causes is deforestation. While trees are growing, they absorb CO2 from the atmosphere; dead trees release it again. However, the fact is that millions of trees have been lost to logging and fires in recent years.
The results of the study, which have not yet been published, have implications for the effort to combat climate change. They suggest that the Amazon rainforest, a vital carbon “store”, or “sink”, that slows the pace of global warming may be turning into a carbon source faster than previously thought. Every two weeks for the past 10 years, a team of scientists led by Professor Luciana Gatti, a researcher at Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research (INPE), has been measuring greenhouse gases by flying aircraft fitted with sensors over different parts of the Amazon basin. What the group found was startling: while most of the rainforest still retains its ability to absorb large quantities of CO2 — especially in wetter years — one portion of the forest, which is especially heavily deforested, appears to have lost that capacity.
Gatti’s research suggests this south-eastern part of the forest, about 20% of the total area, has become a carbon source. “Each year is worse,” she told Newsnight. “We observed that this area in the south-east is an important source of carbon. And it doesn’t matter whether it is a wet year or a dry year. 2017 was a wet year, but it didn’t make any difference.”
A forest can become a source of carbon rather than a “store”, or “sink”, when trees die and emit carbon into the atmosphere. Areas of deforestation also contribute to the Amazon’s inability to absorb carbon.
Carlos Nobre, who co-authored Prof Gatti’s study, called the observation “very worrying” because “it could be showing the beginnings of a major tipping point”. He believes the new findings suggest that in the next 30 years, more than half of the Amazon could transform from rainforest into savanna (稀树草原).
12. What can be concluded from Paragraph 2?
A. Logging and fires should be held responsible for all dead trees.
B. Amazon rainforest can no longer absorb as much CO2 as before.
C. Growing trees are able to absorb and release CO2 at the same time.
D. More than 20% of the Amazon rainforest has become a net source of CO2.
13. Which of the following might Professor Luciana Gatti agree with?
A. Most of the Amazon rainforest absorbs more CO2 in wetter years.
B. The Amazon rainforest is on its way to becoming the biggest source of carbon.
C. Deforested areas tend to perform better in terms of absorbing carbon in dry years.
D. The Amazon rainforest has completely lost its ability to slow the pace of global warming.
14. What does the underlined word probably mean?
A. Striking. B. Convincing.
C. Confusing. D. Disgusting.
15. What would be the best title of this passage?
A. Deforestation or reforestation?
B. A carbon absorber or a carbon maker?
C. Cheering news about the Amazon rainforest
D. Thrilling facts about the Amazon rainforest
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。新的研究表明，高达五分之一的亚马逊雨林排放的二氧化碳多于吸收的二氧化碳。文章对这种现象进行了详细介绍。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句“While trees are growing, they absorb CO2 from the atmosphere; dead trees release it again. However, the fact is that millions of trees have been lost to logging and fires in recent years.”(当树木生长时，它们从大气中吸收二氧化碳；死掉的树又会释放它。然而，事实是，近年来，数百万棵树因砍伐和火灾而消失。)可知，亚马逊雨林不能再吸收以前那么多的二氧化碳了。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句中的“while most of the rainforest still retains its ability to absorb large quantities of CO2 — especially in wetter years”(尽管大多数雨林仍然保持着吸收大量二氧化碳的能力——尤其是在潮湿的年份)可知，Luciana Gatti教授可能会赞同大多数亚马逊雨林在潮湿的年份吸收更多的二氧化碳的观点。故选A。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段最后一句“while most of the rainforest still retains its ability to absorb large quantities of CO2 — especially in wetter years — one portion of the forest, which is especially heavily deforested, appears to have lost that capacity.”(虽然大部分雨林仍然保持着吸收大量二氧化碳的能力——尤其是在潮湿的年份——但有一部分森林，尤其是被严重砍伐的森林，似乎已经失去了这种能力。)可知，这是一个令人心惊的发现，所以startling意为“惊人的”。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Up to one fifth of the Amazon rainforest is emitting more carbon dioxide (CO2), than it absorbs, new research suggests.”(新的研究表明，高达五分之一的亚马逊雨林排放的二氧化碳多于吸收的二氧化碳。)可知，文章主要是讲亚马逊雨林已经逐渐由二氧化碳吸收器转化为二氧化碳排放器。故选B。
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
From Martin Luther King Jr. to Steve Jobs, the best speeches in the world make a real difference to listeners. _____16_____
Great speeches always begin with a bang. Anything well begun is considered to be half done. But it is at the beginning where most speakers fail to create an impression. Then, no matter how great the content of the speech is, it doesn’t reach the right ears at the right time. _____17_____
Remember that the speech isn’t about you, but about your audience. You are not standing on a platform to talk about your personal issues. Even if your speech is about your life struggles and successes, find a way to make it relevant to your audience. _____18_____ Putting all the parts together to complete the picture isn’t enough. Your audience must be able to recognize the picture. They must take the picture home with them. That is what will make your speech stand out.
_____19_____ The greatest speakers — from Napoleon to Barack Obama — have delivered their speeches with great confidence. A speech is a promise, a declaration or a ray of hope. Thus, ensure that your speech is filled with hopeful, positive and confident words. Words such as “believe”, “no doubt”, “eventually” and many others fill your speech with the required confidence and make your audience think that you know what you are saying. Moreover, people won’t want to listen to those who stumble over their words(结结巴巴地说话). _____20_____ This will definitely turn your speech into one of the greatest speeches in history.
A. Remember, your speech is like a puzzle.
B. So stating your point in the first line really matters.
C. Let’s look at the common factors of the best speeches in the world.
D. That’s because the opening of the speech wasn’t impressive enough.
E. Big words, not always welcome though, can add to the charm of your speech.
F. The use of confident words is another common feature in the greatest speeches of all time.
G. Consciously fill the gaps in your speech with confident and promising words or phrases.
【答案】16. C 17. D 18. A 19. F 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了世界上最棒演讲的几点共同特征。它们包括不同凡响的开头、演讲的对象是观众而非演讲者和演讲者要充满自信。
【16题详解】
根据第一段第一句“From Martin Luther King Jr. to Steve Jobs, the best speeches in the world make a real difference to listeners.”(从小马丁•路德•金到史蒂夫•乔布斯，世界上最棒的演讲给听众带来了真正的不同。)和第二段首句“Great speeches always begin with a bang. ”（非常棒的演讲总是有不同凡响的开头。），可知设空是本文的主题句，它起着承上启下的作用。所以选择“Let’s look at the common factors of the best speeches in the world.”（让我们来看看世界上最好的演讲的几点共同特征。）故选C。
【17题详解】
根据上文中“Then, no matter how great the content of the speech is, it doesn’t reach the right ears at the right time. ”(然后，不管演讲的内容有多么精彩，它都不会在正确的时间传到正确的人的耳朵里。)，可知下文应该是一句支撑句来说明原因的。可知设空的内容为：这是因为这个演讲的开头不足以令人印象深刻，故选D。
【18题详解】
根据下文“Putting all the parts together to complete the picture isn’t enough. Your audience must be able to recognize the picture. ”（把所有的部分放在一起来完成图片是不够的。你的观众必须能够识别出这幅图片。）可知设空的内容为：记住，你的演讲就像一个迷题。正因为你演讲像一个谜题，作为演讲者应该合理组织这个“谜题”各个部分，从而让听众识别你在讲什么。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据下文“The greatest speakers — from Napoleon to Barack Obama — have delivered their speeches with great confidence. ”（最伟大的演讲者，从拿破仑到巴拉克•奥巴马，都非常自信地发表了他们的演讲。），可知设空部分的内容应该讲的是好的演讲要应该是自信的演讲。选项F.“使用自信的词语是有史以来最伟大的演讲的另一个共同特征。”，选项中的“the use of confident words”也与下文意思一致，故选F。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Moreover, people won’t want to listen to those who stumble over their words. ”（此外，没有人想听那些说话结结巴巴，断断续续的人），可知设空内容为；在演讲停顿处，有意识地用一些自信和有希望的词语来填补。选项G.“有意识地用自信和有前途的单词或短语来填补你演讲中的空白。”选项中的“fill the gaps ”和“confident and promising words”也与上文一致，故选G。

On my own, I’d have done it quickly and correctly. But by midday, I could feel my ______27______ rising. Teaching my friend had put us well behind ______28______. There was, of course, an easy solution: I could ______29______ and just let her watch. But I had promised that I would teach her. So we decided to reduce the variety of cookies, bake more of the _______30_______ versions and get creative with the icing. At the end of the second day, we had 20 beautiful gift boxes, each displaying a mouth-watering selection of cookies.
My friend couldn’t wait to get home and share the _______31_______ of her labors with her family. Seeing how proud she was, I was doubly _______32_______ that I didn’t act on my thought to do everything myself just because it would be _______33_______.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了国家京剧院新任副院长谈论自己对京剧的热爱。
【36题详解】
考查最高级。句意：胡果寺大街是昔日北京繁华的商业街之一。“one of +形容词最高级”表示“最……之一”，结合句中“in the olden days”可知，此处要用最高级。故填busiest。
37题详解】
考查代词。句意：也是京剧大师梅兰芳(1894-1961)的故居。空处在句中作主语，指代前文的“Huguosi Street ”，所以用代词it指代。故填It。
【38题详解】
考查现在完成时。句意：经过几十年的变迁，这个剧院依然屹立不倒，目前由国家京剧院管理。空处在句中作谓语，结合时间状语“over the decades”可知，此处用现在完成时；句子主语the neighbourhood，为单数含义，所以此处填has changed，故填has changed。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：田磊珍惜在那里训练和排练时光。短语：spend time doing sth.“花费时间做某事”，所以此处填training。故填training。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：这位42岁的演员身着戏服，手持道具长矛，大步跨过舞台，练习各种武术动作，最后摆出两相式结束训练。分析可知，“Wearing a costume and 5 (arm) with a prop spear(矛)”在句中为状语，动词arm与句子主语the 42-year-old为动宾关系，短语：arm sb. with sth.“用某物武装某人”，所以此处用过去分词armed，故填armed。

考查名词。句意：同上。短语：a variety of“各种各样的”，故填variety。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：同上。短语：end with“以……结束”，此处指以liangxiang的姿势结束，故填with。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这里离剧院只有10分钟车程，他的同事们在那里接受培训。drive“驾车路程”为可数名词，此处用了单数，所以空处用不定冠词；10-mintue“十分钟的”为形容词，首个音素为辅音，所以此处用不定冠词a，故填a。
【44题详解】
考查原因状语从句。句意：我几乎每天都来剧院，因为我喜欢这座建筑提供的安静。分析可知，空前的句子为空后句子的结果，所以空处用连词because，表示“因为”，故填because。
【45题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：在这里排练，让我感觉更接近曾经登上舞台的京剧大师。”他说。结合句意，此处指京剧大师们，所以用名词复数masters，作宾语。故填masters。

第二节（满分25分）
47. 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
A psychologist once said. “If you’ve conquered every one of your fears, congratulations — you’re dead.” This humorous quote points to a simple truth — no one can escape fear completely.
However, fear can be a good thing. It is a natural, healthy reaction to danger. In fact, sometimes we are afraid of things that aren’t dangerous such as public speaking, failing a test or being rejected. These unhealthy fears can keep us from achieving our dreams. So how can we successfully face our fears?
First, admit what you fear and then share it with someone you trust. Perhaps you worry that others would look down on you if they know what you fear, but you might be surprised at how many other people share the same fears. Learning you’re not the only one who fears something will give you self-esteem (自尊心) a push. Second, ask yourself, “What is the worst scenario (最坏的情况)?” This question can help you gain perspective (洞察力). If you think about it, the worst might not be that bad, after all. Compared with the fear of losing a contest or being turned down, the regret of having missed opportunities can be even harder to bear. Even worse, you will never know what you might have accomplished. Finally, take more steps toward conquering your fears. If you fear public speaking, start by giving a small talk to a few people. If your talk doesn’t go well, try again. Each small success will increase your confidence and persistence is one of the keys to success.
You might never completely conquer your fear of certain things, but what is important is that you can bring yourself to do what you fear. True bravery is feeling afraid but doing what you have to do anyway. It’s also true that you struggle with fear and don’t let your fear stop you from getting the most out of life.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Fear, either response to danger or an obstacle to success, is unavoidable, but it can be handed properly as follows. Acknowledging what you fear and letting trustworthy people know are the first step and then consider the worst situation to get a better understanding of it. Finally, it’s also important to make efforts step by against fear. Though fear can’t be defeated thoroughly, you should face and struggle with it bravely to achieve the greatest gains in life.

We are all devastated by the news we have just heard from Balmoral. The death of Her Majesty the Queen is a huge shock to the nation and to the world. Queen Elizabeth II was the rock on which modern Britain was built. Our country has grown and flourished under her reign(统治时期).
Britain is the great country it is today because of her. She ascended the throne just after the Second World War. She championed the development of the Commonwealth(英联邦) — from a small group of 7 countries to a family of 56 nations spanning every continent of the world.
We are now a modern, thriving, dynamic nation. Through thick and thin, Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ provided us with the stability and the strength that we needed. She was the very spirit of Great Britain — and that spirit will endure. She has been our longest-ever reigning monarch(君主). It is an extraordinary achievement to have presided(主持) with such dignity and grace for 70 years. Her life of service stretched beyond most of our living memories. In return, she was loved and admired by the people in the United Kingdom and all around the world. She has been a personal inspiration to me and to many Britons. Her devotion to duty is an example to us all.
Earlier this week, at 96, she remained determined to carry out her duties as she appointed me as her 15th prime minister. Throughout her life she has visited more than 100 countries and she has touched the lives of millions around the world.
In the difficult days ahead, we will come together with our friends across the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth and the world to celebrate her extraordinary lifetime of service. It is a day of great loss, but Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ leaves a great legacy(遗产).
Today the Crown passes — as it is has done for more than a thousand years — to our new monarch, our new head of state: His Majesty King Charles Ⅲ. With the King’s family, we mourn(哀悼) the loss of his mother. And as we mourn, we must come together as a people to support him. To help him bear the awesome responsibility that he now carries for us all, we offer him our loyalty and devotion just as his mother devoted so much to so many for so long. And with the passing of the second Elizabethan age, we usher(进入) in a new era in the magnificent history of our great country.
Exactly as Her Majesty would have wished — by saying the words: “God save the King.”
4. What is the genre(体裁) of this passage?
A. A speech. B. A biography.
C. A news report. D. A history report.
5. What can be implied from the underlined sentence?
A. Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ tried her best to build modern Britain.
B. Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ played a vital part in the foundation of Britain.
C. Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ had sacrificed a lot in order to build modern Britain.
D. Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ had contributed to the development of modern Britain considerably.

A. Queen Elizabeth II saved the lives of millions around the world.
B. Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ appointed 15 prime ministers under her reign.
C. Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ is the longest-ever reigning monarch in the world.
D. The Commonwealth has 60 countries all together now because of Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ’s efforts.

C
For years, life went something like this: We’d grow up in one place, head off to college, then find a city to live in for a few years to pursue a job or higher education. The end goal was to find somewhere to settle down, buy a house, start a family, and begin the whole cycle all over again. But a new model for living is emerging: Some people are increasingly opting to move from city to city throughout their entire lives, sometimes as frequently as every month.
Just ask Alex Chatzielefteriou, who has had a front-row seat watching this evolution unfold. Six years ago, he launched a startup called Blueground that rents out beautifully designed, fully furnished apartments for a month at a time, at rents that are cheaper than hotels. Today, the company has 3,000 properties in six U.S. cities, along with Dubai, Istanbul, London, Paris, and Chatzielefteriou’s native Athens, and a staff of 400.
The company just landed $ 50 million in Series B funding, bringing its total investment to $ 78 million, to continue its rapid expansion. It hopes to have 50,000 properties in 50 cities over the next three years, and the goal is to make each one feel unique and cozy, rather than standardized, like what you might find in a traditional hotel.
Chatzielefteriou first came up with the idea for Blueground while he was working as a management consultant for McKinsey. “The accommodation of choice for consultants is the hotel,” he says. “I had to spend five years in a hotel room, living in 12 different cities. I loved seeing the world, but I didn’t love feeling like I didn’t have a home.”
As he spoke to his friends and coworkers, he realized that many people were dejected with this lifestyle that meant living out of a suitcase in the same few hotel chains that all began to blend together. And what’s more, hotels aren’t a particularly cost-effective solution for companies either. In Chatzielefteriou’s case, McKinsey sometimes paid $10,000 or more for him to stay in a major city for a month, which was far more expensive than local rents.
8. Chatzielefteriou launched the company Blueground for the following reasons except ________.
A. he wants to feel like home when exploring the world
B. many people around him are tired of hotels
C. hotels are comparatively more expensive
D. he doesn’t have a real home
9. Which of the following apartment may belong to Blueground?
A. An apartment that costs dearly but is fully furnished.
B. An apartment that is standardized and commonly seen.
C. An apartment that has its own style and is comfortable to live in.
D. An apartment that is simply designed with only necessary furniture.
10. Which of the following words may best replace the underlined word in Paragraph 5?
A. frustrated B. confused C. inspired D. satisfied
11. What is the passage mainly about?
A. An introduction of a new hotel for consultants.
B. An introduction of a creative company founder.
C. An introduction of new accommodation for travelers.
D. An introduction of the history of a promising company.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了Alex Chatzielefteriou根据自身所需创立的新兴公司（Blueground），文章介绍了这个公司的现有规模，下步预期规模和灵感起源 。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段 “I had to spend five years in a hotel room, living in 12 different cities. I loved seeing the world, but I didn’t love feeling like I didn’t have a home.”（我曾经在宾馆住过五年，跨越12个不同城市。我喜欢去看世界，但我不喜欢好像自己没家的感觉）可知，他不是没有家，而是不想感觉像没有家。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Six years ago, he launched a startup called Blueground that rents out beautifully designed, fully furnished apartments for a month at a time, at rents that are cheaper than hotels.”（六年前，他创办了一家名为Blueground的初创公司，出租设计精美、家具齐全的公寓，租期一个月，租金比酒店还便宜。）可知，Blueground的公寓设计精美，家具齐全，租金比酒店便宜。因而住在这样的酒店是舒服的。结合选项，选项C与文意相符，故选C。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段“As he spoke to his friends and coworkers, he realized that many people were dejected with this lifestyle that meant living out of a suitcase in the same few hotel chains that all began to blend together. ”（当他与朋友和同事交谈时，他意识到许多人对这种拿着手提箱住在连锁酒店的生活方式感到dejected 。）以及下文“And what’s more, hotels aren’t a particularly cost-effective solution for companies either. ”（更重要的是，酒店对公司来说也不是一个特别划算的解决方案），可知，住酒店对公司来说不划算，因而此处指拿着手提箱住在连锁酒店的生活方式很多人是不喜欢的，所以划线词此处与“frustrated”同义，故选A。
【11题详解】

Up to one fifth of the Amazon rainforest is emitting more carbon dioxide (CO2), than it absorbs, new research suggests.
Results from a decade-long study of greenhouse gases over the Amazon rainforest appear to show around 20% of the total area has become a net source of CO2 in the atmosphere. One of the main causes is deforestation. While trees are growing, they absorb CO2 from the atmosphere; dead trees release it again. However, the fact is that millions of trees have been lost to logging and fires in recent years.
The results of the study, which have not yet been published, have implications for the effort to combat climate change. They suggest that the Amazon rainforest, a vital carbon “store”, or “sink”, that slows the pace of global warming may be turning into a carbon source faster than previously thought. Every two weeks for the past 10 years, a team of scientists led by Professor Luciana Gatti, a researcher at Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research (INPE), has been measuring greenhouse gases by flying aircraft fitted with sensors over different parts of the Amazon basin. What the group found was startling: while most of the rainforest still retains its ability to absorb large quantities of CO2 — especially in wetter years — one portion of the forest, which is especially heavily deforested, appears to have lost that capacity.
Gatti’s research suggests this south-eastern part of the forest, about 20% of the total area, has become a carbon source. “Each year is worse,” she told Newsnight. “We observed that this area in the south-east is an important source of carbon. And it doesn’t matter whether it is a wet year or a dry year. 2017 was a wet year, but it didn’t make any difference.”
A forest can become a source of carbon rather than a “store”, or “sink”, when trees die and emit carbon into the atmosphere. Areas of deforestation also contribute to the Amazon’s inability to absorb carbon.
Carlos Nobre, who co-authored Prof Gatti’s study, called the observation “very worrying” because “it could be showing the beginnings of a major tipping point”. He believes the new findings suggest that in the next 30 years, more than half of the Amazon could transform from rainforest into savanna (稀树草原).
12. What can be concluded from Paragraph 2?
A. Logging and fires should be held responsible for all dead trees.
B. Amazon rainforest can no longer absorb as much CO2 as before.
C. Growing trees are able to absorb and release CO2 at the same time.
D. More than 20% of the Amazon rainforest has become a net source of CO2.
13. Which of the following might Professor Luciana Gatti agree with?
A. Most of the Amazon rainforest absorbs more CO2 in wetter years.
B. The Amazon rainforest is on its way to becoming the biggest source of carbon.
C. Deforested areas tend to perform better in terms of absorbing carbon in dry years.
D. The Amazon rainforest has completely lost its ability to slow the pace of global warming.
14. What does the underlined word probably mean?
A. Striking. B. Convincing.
C. Confusing. D. Disgusting.
15. What would be the best title of this passage?
A. Deforestation or reforestation?
B. A carbon absorber or a carbon maker?
C. Cheering news about the Amazon rainforest
D. Thrilling facts about the Amazon rainforest
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。新的研究表明，高达五分之一的亚马逊雨林排放的二氧化碳多于吸收的二氧化碳。文章对这种现象进行了详细介绍。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句“While trees are growing, they absorb CO2 from the atmosphere; dead trees release it again. However, the fact is that millions of trees have been lost to logging and fires in recent years.”(当树木生长时，它们从大气中吸收二氧化碳；死掉的树又会释放它。然而，事实是，近年来，数百万棵树因砍伐和火灾而消失。)可知，亚马逊雨林不能再吸收以前那么多的二氧化碳了。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句中的“while most of the rainforest still retains its ability to absorb large quantities of CO2 — especially in wetter years”(尽管大多数雨林仍然保持着吸收大量二氧化碳的能力——尤其是在潮湿的年份)可知，Luciana Gatti教授可能会赞同大多数亚马逊雨林在潮湿的年份吸收更多的二氧化碳的观点。故选A。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段最后一句“while most of the rainforest still retains its ability to absorb large quantities of CO2 — especially in wetter years — one portion of the forest, which is especially heavily deforested, appears to have lost that capacity.”(虽然大部分雨林仍然保持着吸收大量二氧化碳的能力——尤其是在潮湿的年份——但有一部分森林，尤其是被严重砍伐的森林，似乎已经失去了这种能力。)可知，这是一个令人心惊的发现，所以startling意为“惊人的”。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Up to one fifth of the Amazon rainforest is emitting more carbon dioxide (CO2), than it absorbs, new research suggests.”(新的研究表明，高达五分之一的亚马逊雨林排放的二氧化碳多于吸收的二氧化碳。)可知，文章主要是讲亚马逊雨林已经逐渐由二氧化碳吸收器转化为二氧化碳排放器。故选B。

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
From Martin Luther King Jr. to Steve Jobs, the best speeches in the world make a real difference to listeners. _____16_____
Great speeches always begin with a bang. Anything well begun is considered to be half done. But it is at the beginning where most speakers fail to create an impression. Then, no matter how great the content of the speech is, it doesn’t reach the right ears at the right time. _____17_____
Remember that the speech isn’t about you, but about your audience. You are not standing on a platform to talk about your personal issues. Even if your speech is about your life struggles and successes, find a way to make it relevant to your audience. _____18_____ Putting all the parts together to complete the picture isn’t enough. Your audience must be able to recognize the picture. They must take the picture home with them. That is what will make your speech stand out.
_____19_____ The greatest speakers — from Napoleon to Barack Obama — have delivered their speeches with great confidence. A speech is a promise, a declaration or a ray of hope. Thus, ensure that your speech is filled with hopeful, positive and confident words. Words such as “believe”, “no doubt”, “eventually” and many others fill your speech with the required confidence and make your audience think that you know what you are saying. Moreover, people won’t want to listen to those who stumble over their words(结结巴巴地说话). _____20_____ This will definitely turn your speech into one of the greatest speeches in history.
A. Remember, your speech is like a puzzle.
B. So stating your point in the first line really matters.
C. Let’s look at the common factors of the best speeches in the world.
D. That’s because the opening of the speech wasn’t impressive enough.
E. Big words, not always welcome though, can add to the charm of your speech.
F. The use of confident words is another common feature in the greatest speeches of all time.
G. Consciously fill the gaps in your speech with confident and promising words or phrases.
【答案】16. C 17. D 18. A 19. F 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了世界上最棒演讲的几点共同特征。它们包括不同凡响的开头、演讲的对象是观众而非演讲者和演讲者要充满自信。
【16题详解】
根据第一段第一句“From Martin Luther King Jr. to Steve Jobs, the best speeches in the world make a real difference to listeners.”(从小马丁•路德•金到史蒂夫•乔布斯，世界上最棒的演讲给听众带来了真正的不同。)和第二段首句“Great speeches always begin with a bang. ”（非常棒的演讲总是有不同凡响的开头。），可知设空是本文的主题句，它起着承上启下的作用。所以选择“Let’s look at the common factors of the best speeches in the world.”（让我们来看看世界上最好的演讲的几点共同特征。）故选C。
【17题详解】
根据上文中“Then, no matter how great the content of the speech is, it doesn’t reach the right ears at the right time. ”(然后，不管演讲的内容有多么精彩，它都不会在正确的时间传到正确的人的耳朵里。)，可知下文应该是一句支撑句来说明原因的。可知设空的内容为：这是因为这个演讲的开头不足以令人印象深刻，故选D。
【18题详解】
根据下文“Putting all the parts together to complete the picture isn’t enough. Your audience must be able to recognize the picture. ”（把所有的部分放在一起来完成图片是不够的。你的观众必须能够识别出这幅图片。）可知设空的内容为：记住，你的演讲就像一个迷题。正因为你演讲像一个谜题，作为演讲者应该合理组织这个“谜题”各个部分，从而让听众识别你在讲什么。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据下文“The greatest speakers — from Napoleon to Barack Obama — have delivered their speeches with great confidence. ”（最伟大的演讲者，从拿破仑到巴拉克•奥巴马，都非常自信地发表了他们的演讲。），可知设空部分的内容应该讲的是好的演讲要应该是自信的演讲。选项F.“使用自信的词语是有史以来最伟大的演讲的另一个共同特征。”，选项中的“the use of confident words”也与下文意思一致，故选F。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Moreover, people won’t want to listen to those who stumble over their words. ”（此外，没有人想听那些说话结结巴巴，断断续续的人），可知设空内容为；在演讲停顿处，有意识地用一些自信和有希望的词语来填补。选项G.“有意识地用自信和有前途的单词或短语来填补你演讲中的空白。”选项中的“fill the gaps ”和“confident and promising words”也与上文一致，故选G。

37题详解】

第二节（满分25分）
47. 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
A psychologist once said. “If you’ve conquered every one of your fears, congratulations — you’re dead.” This humorous quote points to a simple truth — no one can escape fear completely.
However, fear can be a good thing. It is a natural, healthy reaction to danger. In fact, sometimes we are afraid of things that aren’t dangerous such as public speaking, failing a test or being rejected. These unhealthy fears can keep us from achieving our dreams. So how can we successfully face our fears?
First, admit what you fear and then share it with someone you trust. Perhaps you worry that others would look down on you if they know what you fear, but you might be surprised at how many other people share the same fears. Learning you’re not the only one who fears something will give you self-esteem (自尊心) a push. Second, ask yourself, “What is the worst scenario (最坏的情况)?” This question can help you gain perspective (洞察力). If you think about it, the worst might not be that bad, after all. Compared with the fear of losing a contest or being turned down, the regret of having missed opportunities can be even harder to bear. Even worse, you will never know what you might have accomplished. Finally, take more steps toward conquering your fears. If you fear public speaking, start by giving a small talk to a few people. If your talk doesn’t go well, try again. Each small success will increase your confidence and persistence is one of the keys to success.
You might never completely conquer your fear of certain things, but what is important is that you can bring yourself to do what you fear. True bravery is feeling afraid but doing what you have to do anyway. It’s also true that you struggle with fear and don’t let your fear stop you from getting the most out of life.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Fear, either response to danger or an obstacle to success, is unavoidable, but it can be handed properly as follows. Acknowledging what you fear and letting trustworthy people know are the first step and then consider the worst situation to get a better understanding of it. Finally, it’s also important to make efforts step by against fear. Though fear can’t be defeated thoroughly, you should face and struggle with it bravely to achieve the greatest gains in life.
