【原文】W: What are you reading?
M: An article about this guy … Frane … Selak. They’ve called him the unluckiest man in the world. It looks like he’s had an unbelievable life.
W: Unbelievable? How?
M: Well … It started in the 1960s. He says he was on a train that came off the tracks and crashed into a river — he survived but the other 17 people died!
W: Lucky.
M: Frane did break his arm, though. Anyway, the next year he was flying on a small plane, which also crashed. Just as it was about to crash, one of the doors opened — the article says it had a fault — and he was sucked out. He escaped unhurt but nobody on the plane survived.
W: That’s unbelievable!
M: I know. Then a few years later, Frane was in a bus accident. There was heavy rain and the bus lost control on the wet road and crashed into a river. He survived, although 20 people drowned. Then Frane was in a car that caught fire while he was driving it on the motorway. He managed to get out with seconds to spare before the fuel tank exploded.
W: I don’t know whether he’s unlucky or extremely lucky, but I don’t think I ever want to travel with this guy.

【原文】 W: About two years ago I went with my class on our first school trip — five days in Paris! There were about thirty of us and four teachers. We all went in one big coach from our school in London. The teachers told us to be at school at four thirty in the morning. Everyone was there on time, but the coach didn’t arrive until five o’clock and we didn’t leave until five thirty! We were very cold and tired.
Anyway, the coach was very comfortable and we watched a DVD and listened to some music on the journey. We had some sandwiches and drinks with us, so we went straight to Paris without stopping. The hotel was very old, but our room was nice and the bed was great! I shared the room with three other girls.
When we went shopping I tried to practice my French a few times but sometimes I didn’t know the right words and spoke in English instead! The shops were great — I bought lots of presents, such as a dress for my mother, a bag for my dad and a T-shirt for my little sister!
I think what I enjoyed most was the boat trip. I took lots of photos of my friends and the wonderful art galleries. I was sad to leave Paris. I had a lovely time there.

Zhu Dejun’s first job after graduating from college was as a road design engineer at an institute in his hometown, Alshaa League, North Chin’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region. In 2011, when Zhu was conducting a road survey along with his colleagues, he saw a plant that he didn’t recognize. Later, Zhu learned that the plant was a saxaul tree which is an excellent tree species for sand fixation and afforestation(造林) in desert areas. It’s commonly seen, though easily ignored. Known as a desert guardian, a fully grown saxaul tree can hold together a 10-square-meter patch of desert land, according to Zhu.
Zhu quit his job at the design institute in 2014 and joined a nonprofit organization, the Society of Entrepreneurs and Ecology Conservation, or SEE, in the same year, concentrating on tackling desertification.
The organization, devoted to ecological protection and social responsibility, was located in the Alshaa League of Inner Mongolia. During the past eight years, Zhu has been leading a team from SEE to plant saxaul trees in sandy areas in Alshaa League and other places of Inner Mongolia.
In 2014, the SEE launched a project titled “one million saxaul trees”, aiming to reach that number from 2014 to 2023, turning the desert of more than 133,330 hectares back into a satisfying ecosystem. By the end of 2018, half of the organization’s goal had been achieved.
In 2016, Ant Finance cooperated with SEE to introduce the Ant Forest platform, not only encouraging people to choose “a low-carbon way” of shopping, traveling and living, but also to help control desertification.
Through the participation of a greater number of online users, who grow virtual trees, the SEE Foundation, set up in 2008, has been providing subsidies(补助金)for local herdsmen and farmers while also offering technological support to plant saxaul trees in desert areas. Now, Zhu is the head of the foundation’s project to fight desertification. He also gives lectures about saxaul trees and the fight against desertification at schools, hoping to raise awareness among young people.
24. What did Zhu Dejun do first after graduation?
A. He researched on saxaul trees.
B. He joined a nonprofit organization.
C. He found ways to fight desertification.
D. He focused on road design engineering.
25. Why are saxual trees planted by Zhu’s team?
A. They are easily taken care of.
B. They can grow fast in deserts.
C. They are perfect for holding water.
D. They can fight desertification effectively.
26. What did SEE do to control desertification?
A. They teamed up with Ant Finance.
B. They planted one million saxaul trees.
C. They held online lectures on desertification.
D. They encouraged donation from online users.
27. How can online users help Zhu’s team?
A. By providing subsidies.
B. By raising awareness.
C. By planting trees online.
D. By offering technological support.
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. A 27. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了朱德军(音译)以及他的同事们种植沙柳树，努力对抗沙漠化，保护环境的故事。
24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句“Zhu Dejun’s first job after graduating from college was as a road design engineer at an institute in his hometown, Alshaa League, North China’s Inner Mongolia autonomous region(朱德军大学毕业后的第一份工作是在家乡内蒙古自治区阿拉善盟的一家研究所担任道路设计工程师)”可知，朱德军毕业后做的第一份工作是道路设计工程师。故选D项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Later, Zhu learned that the plant was a saxaul tree which is an excellent tree species for sand fixation and afforestation(造林) in desert areas. It’s commonly seen, though easily ignored. Known as a desert guardian, a fully grown saxaul tree can hold together a 10-square-meter patch of desert land, according to Zhu.(后来，朱得知这是一种沙柳树，是沙漠地区固沙造林的优良树种。这很常见，但很容易被忽视。据朱说，一棵完全生长的沙柳树被称为沙漠守护者，它可以将10平方米的沙漠土地连成一片。)”可知，沙柳树是帮助固沙造林的树种。故选D项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段内容“In 2016, Ant Finance cooperated with SEE to introduce the Ant Forest platform, not only encouraging people to choose “a low-carbon way” of shopping, traveling and living, but also to help control desertification.(2016年，蚂蚁金服与SEE合作推出了蚂蚁森林平台，不仅鼓励人们选择“低碳方式”购物、旅行和生活，还帮助控制荒漠化。)”可知，SEE与蚂蚁金融合作发起了蚂蚁森林平台。故选A项。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段第一句“Through the participation of a greater number of online users, who grow virtual trees, the SEE Foundation, set up in 2008, has been providing subsidies(补助金)for local herdsmen and farmers while also offering technological support to plant saxaul trees in desert areas. (通过更多种植虚拟树木的在线用户的参与，2008年成立的SEE基金会一直在为当地牧民和农民提供补贴，同时也为在沙漠地区种植沙包树提供技术支持。)”可知，网络用户可以在网上种植虚拟树来参与保护活动。故选C项。

Germany’s factories, which power Europe’s economy, produced less during September than at any time in the past two years, which experts say could be an indicator of an approaching European recession (经济衰退).
The S&P Global Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index, or S&P Global PMI, found that Germany’s manufacturing activity dropped to 47.8 in September, from 49.1 in August. The survey said the drop in factory output was due to customers either putting off or canceling orders because of fast-rising prices caused by more expensive fuel bills.
Joe Hayes, a senior economist at S&P Global, said while the whole world is in the middle of a manufacturing decline, Europe appears to be at the slowdown’s center. “Production fell at a rate which has only been larger during crisis periods,” Hayes told The Telegraph. “New orders also fell at a rapid pace, reflecting the hesitancy among clients to buy goods at expensive prices.”
The analysis also showed that Europe’s other manufacturing powerhouse, France, is struggling to remain competitive. The S&P Global PMI said French companies’ order books shrank during September, with around one-third of businesses reporting customers had canceled orders because of rising prices.
Phil Smith, an associate director at S&P Global, said Europe is experiencing “a continuous downturn”. He added that producers had been “coming under pressure from a deepening drop in demand as well as an energy-led rise in cost inflation (通货膨胀)”.
28. What happened in Europe this September?
A. Factories’ efficiency rose in Europe.
B. Factories’ production dropped in Germany.
C. Customers’ purchase continuously increased.
D. Fuel bills’ prices constantly decreased.
29. What is the possible reason for the fall?
A. The whole world is experiencing recession.
B. Factories fail to remain competitive.
C. Expensive fuel bills lead to a drop in demand.
D Customers hesitate to buy cheap goods.
30. What does the underlined word “shrank” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Expanded. B. Faded C. Changed. D. Decreased.
31. What is Phil Smith’s attitude towards European economy?
A. Negative. B. Hopeful. C. Positive. D. Unconcerned.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章分析了标准普尔全球制造业采购经理人指数所提供的9月份德国制造业的指数，表明德国以及整个欧洲制造业处于下降趋势，同时分析了可能的原因。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“Germany’s factories, which power Europe’s economy, produced less during September than at any time in the past two years (为欧洲经济提供动力的德国工厂，9月份的产量比过去两年的任何时候都要低)”可知，德国工厂生产量下降。故选B项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“The survey said the drop in factory output was due to customers either putting off or canceling orders because of fast-rising prices caused by more expensive fuel bills.(该调查称，工厂产出下降是由于油价上涨导致价格快速上涨，因此客户推迟或取消了订单)”可知，工厂产量的下降的原因是高额的燃油账单导致物价飞涨，因此顾客们要么推迟订单要么取消订单。故选C项。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“The S&P Global PMI said French companies’ order books shrank during September, with around one-third of businesses reporting customers had canceled orders because of rising prices.(标准普尔全球采购经理人指数(S&P Global PMI)表示，法国企业9月份订单量shrank，约三分之一的企业报告称，由于价格上涨，客户取消了订单)”中“with around one-third of businesses reporting customers had canceled orders”可知，大约三分之一的行业报告顾客因为上涨的价格取消了订单，由此可知法国公司的订单量减少了。划线词与decrease同义，表示“减少，降低”。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“Phil Smith, an associate director at S&P Global, said Europe is experiencing ‘a continuous downturn’. He added that producers had been ‘coming under pressure from a deepening drop in demand as well as an energy-led rise in cost inflation (通货膨胀)’.(标普全球(S&P Global)副董事菲尔•史密斯(Phil Smith)表示，欧洲正在经历“持续低迷”。他补充说，生产商一直“承受着需求不断下降以及能源导致的成本通胀上升的压力”)”可知，Phil Smith认为欧洲经济正在经历持续的下滑且问题并未解决，所以他对欧洲经济持消极态度。故选A项。
D
A “secretive” new species of frog has been discovered on the forest floor in India’s Western Ghat mountain range. Named the starry dwarf frog after the markings on its dark brown back, it is just 2 centimeters long.
The frog, whose closest relatives are a group of species native to India and Sri Linka, is the only member of an ancient lineage (血统)dating back to millions of years ago, according to researchers from India and the US. It is unclear whether the species is descended from African or Asian frogs.
A group of Indian and US researchers first came across the local species hidden in leaf-litter as part of a wider project to look for new frogs, lizards and snakes in the richly biodiverse region and stored it in a jar for later study. Genetic testing and a closer look at its shape, colouring and other features has shown that it doesn’t match any existing species.Kartik Shanker of the Indian Institute of Science, who helped design the study, says while it is common to find new frogs in India, this one needs to be noticed. “This particular species not just is a new species, but also belongs to a new genus (属), and that makes it a little more special,” says Shanker.
The number of known species of frog identified in India has climbed from around 200 to above 400 over the past two decades. While many species new to science are frequently immediately sorted as endangered, it is too early to say whether the starry dwarf frog is threatened. “They are very secretive,” says Shanker, adding that the team didn’t know the size of its population. The frog is active at night and lives near water.
Habitat loss is a serious risk to frogs in tropical forests around the world, alongside threats such as a deadly fungus(真菌)that has been killing off amphibians(两栖动物)for the past four decades. But the new species was found in a reserved forest, meaning it will enjoy a degree of protection by Indian government agencies.
32. What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A. The species was discovered by tourists.
B. The species was found in a rich region.
C. The species was finally set free.
D. The species was further studied.
33. What can we say about the new frog?
A. It is in small quantities.
B. It is an endangered species.
C. It is well worth attention.
D. It is related to African or Asian frogs.
34. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Habitat loss is the chief threat to frogs.
B. The new species may face less dangers.
C. Tropical forests in India are all under protection.
D. The Indian government determines to save frogs.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. A rare frog species protected in India
B. A rise in species of frog seen in India
C. A secretive frog species discovered in India
D. A risk of habitat loss for frogs removed in India
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种在印度发现的新青蛙品种。通过研究它的种种特征表明，它不同于现有的青蛙种类，而是一种新的特别的属类，并且目前尚不明确它是否属于濒危物种。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“A group of Indian and US researchers first came across the local species hidden in leaf-litter as part of a wider project to look for new frogs, lizards and snakes in the richly biodiverse region and stored it in a jar for later study.(一组印度和美国的研究人员首次发现了隐藏在落叶中的本地物种，这是一个更广泛的项目的一部分，该项目旨在在这个生物多样性丰富的地区寻找新的青蛙、蜥蜴和蛇，并将其储存在一个罐子中供以后研究。)”和第二句“Genetic testing and a closer look at its shape, colouring and other features has shown that it doesn’t match any existing species.(基因测试和对它的形状、颜色和其他特征的仔细观察表明，它与现有的任何物种都不匹配。)”可知，新发现的青蛙被装在罐子里进行了基因测试、颜色、形状及等其他特征的进一步研究。故选D项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“While many species new to science are frequently immediately sorted as endangered, it is too early to say whether the starry dwarf frog is threatened.( 虽然许多科学上的新物种经常立即被归类为濒危物种，但现在说星矮蛙是否受到威胁还为时过早)”和第三句“ “They are very secretive,” says Shanker, adding that the team didn’t know the size of its population. (“它们非常神秘”，Shanker说，并补充说研究团队不知道它们的数量。)”可知，新物种常备归类为濒危物种，而且这种新青蛙的数量是未知的，所以他们值得特别的关注。故选C项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“But the new species was found in a reserved forest, meaning it will enjoy a degree of protection by Indian government agencies.( 但这个新物种是在一片保护区发现的，这意味着它将受到印度政府机构的一定程度的保护。)”可知，这种新青蛙物种正在受政府保护，因此它面临的危险可能更小。故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段第一句“A “secretive” new species of frog has been discovered on the forest floor in India’s Western Ghat mountain range.(在印度西高特山脉的森林地面上发现了一种“神秘的”青蛙新品种。)”可知整篇文章介绍一种新被发现的青蛙品种。C项“A secretive frog species discovered in India(在印度发现的一种神秘的青蛙)”作为标题可以概括全文主旨。故选C项。
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。
Anger is the most destructive emotion. When you are angry, you make ill-considered decisions that you will probably regret. ____36____ How to stop being angry? Here are ways that you can reduce the causes of anger.
You need to change your attitude to the way the world works. You have to accept that sometimes things go wrong and that people are not always lovely and perfect. ____37____ So realizing others may behave in an unproper way will help you prevent your annoyance.
____38____ There are occasions when anger can be directed in such a way as to achieve great things. Martin Luther King was angry about the lack of civil rights and Gandhi was angry about British domination. They both used that anger to motivate themselves to fight against injustice.
It is beneficial to stop trying to manage your anger. Anger management used to be promoted as a way of dealing with anger. ____39____ A better way of facing anger is to identify the root cause. Once you know why you get mad, it is possible to deal with the cause.
Don’t take the easy way when you get angry. We would like to throw something, hit something, or scream when we are angry. A reaction like that is the easy way.

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。
The Leap
Once a twelve-year-old boy was traveling around the world by sea. His father was the captain of the ship. Now, the ship was sailing home at last. It was a pleasant day. All the passengers were on the deck(甲板).
A monkey was making funny faces at the passengers. It became funnier as more passengers came closer, enjoying its tricks. Suddenly the monkey ran towards the captain’s son and took his hat. It then put the hat on its own head. Soon after that, it climbed up the tall pole with two crossbeams(横梁)that supported the sails(帆) on the ship.
Everyone laughed, but the boy was not sure whether to laugh or cry. It had come as a surprise. The monkey sat on the first crossbeam of the pole, took off the hat and began to tear it.
The hat was too important for the boy. So he shouted with extreme anger, “You terrible creature! Return my hat or you are going to pay for it.” He went after the monkey on the pole, which continued to climb higher.
“I am not going to forgive you,” the boy shouted, as he climbed higher and higher. After a while, the monkey stretched itself to its full length and hung what remained of the hat on the end of the second crossbeam. Then it climbed to the very tip of the pole and sat there, making fun of the boy.
The distance from the pole to the end of the crossbeam, where the hat was, was about two meters. To reach the hat, the boy had to let go of the pole. Everyone froze with fear when they saw the boy had stepped onto the crossbeam without support. One wrong step, and he would fall hard to the board of the ship, which would lead to death. The only solution was to jump into the water. However, the boy didn’t realize the danger, as his mind was focused only on getting the hat.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答
Just then the captain came on deck.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Seeing his son wet but alive, the captain breathed a sigh of relief.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Just then the captain came on deck. He was surprised at the sight of the huge crowd. Then he looked up, only to find his son likely to fall at any moment. A sudden wave of panic swept over him. But he managed to pretend to be calm. “Hey, Dad is here! Be brave and jump into the water!” Hearing the words, the boy hesitated before he stuttered, “But…” The captain added, “Trust me! I’ll get you out immediately.” Finally the boy agreed and jumped off. At the same time, the captain, along with some sailors, dashed into the water, rescued the boy and brought him back on board. They pressed his stomach and water came out of his mouth and nose. Then he began to breathe.
Seeing his son wet but alive, the captain breathed a sigh of relief. A burst of applause and cheers broke out from the crowd. Though he had an outward appearance of calm, his heart was pounding with nervousness. Never in his wildest dream did he imagine he was so close to losing his beloved son. At the same time, he was proud of his son for making a wise choice in face of danger. He kept his son company for a long while until his son felt better. The moment the boy stood up, he threw himself into his father’s arms, saying in a gentle voice “Thank you, Dad!” with tears of gratitude and happiness rolling down his cheeks.
