一、阅读理解
Travelling in Paris
The uniform sandstone of the Haussmann buildings, the variety of golden historic monuments, and the attractive Seine and its elegant bridges have arguably made Paris the most recognizable and romanticized cityscape in the world. But though the city wears its history with characteristic style, it is also increasingly looking to the future and outwards to the rest of the world.
Where to go
Those looking to explore the city’s rich heritage can spend long afternoons getting lost in the Louvre or wandering the Orsay Museum, or ducking in and out of Paris’s countless historical churches. For more contemporary tastes, there’s plenty of exploring to be done in the less jam-packed outer regions-from arts venues (场所) on the sloping streets of Belleville to the luxurious hotels and reinvented bars.
When to go
You can come to Paris any time but the atmosphere is quite different at different times of year. Winter is a time for festivals and feasting on games and oysters (牡蛎). Spring and early summer are the time to make the most of city parks and café terraces, with fireworks set off on June 21 and military parade held on July 14. In August the capital slows down and some people love it for the feeling of calm. The autumn renewable activities start with a burst of energy for the new cultural season and big exhibition openings.
What to buy
Choose from one of the tastiest cheese selections in the city at La Fermetteon Rue Montorgueil and vacuum-pack your selection to bring home.
Know before you go
Embassy/Consulate: 0144513100; ukinfrance. fco. gov. uk for passports and most other visitor services.
1．Where is the text probably taken from?
A．A geography textbook. B．A travel brochure.
C．An academic paper. D．A science magazine.
2．Which places best suit the youth who enjoy the modern art?
A．Historical churches. B．Luxurious palaces.

A．Spring. B．Winter. C．Autumn. D．Summer.
It’s an unconventional setting. Children of varying ages are reading actively. Seated next to them are teenagers, many of them girls, staring at the Hindi alphabet(字母表)on the blackboard. In charge of this class are three young girls, not much older than their students. But when Tabassum, Tarannum and Rubina, no more than 22, start speaking, you know the difference. Their confidence takes you by surprise.
A little over 10 kilometres from Varanasi lies the village of Sajoi where illiteracy(文 盲)was quite common. It had blocked out modernity until recently, especially when it came to its women. Educating girls was considered pointless, and the possibility of women stepping out of their homes, unthinkable.
Things began to change in 2010 when Human Welfare Association (HWA), identified Sajoi for a planned intervention. HWA set up a centre in Sajoi to offer free education but the villagers needed to be convinced to join in. The organization needed volunteers who valued education. Tabassum, Tarannum and Rubina embraced the opportunity.
After completing their high school education, the girls set out on another important mission-persuading the locals to send their children to schools. “We went knocking at every door, talking to elders, “recalls Rubina. Some villagers asked them to mind their own business. “We didn’t let all this distract our attention from the main goal, ” Rubina says.
The girls honed their approach. They didn’t ask people to stop their children from working, but urged them to send them to schools for an hour or two. Slowly, children started trickling(缓 慢增加)in. Motivational Learning Centre, as the girls call it, is no replacement for school. It is there, in fact, that they create the hunger for knowledge. It also helps school-going children so they don’t lose interest and drop out.
Those who doubted the girls’ intentions now recommend the centre to others. The number of admissions to schools has steadily increased and the dropout rate in Sajoi has fallen.
4．How does the author start the text?
A．By describing a typical scene.
B．By comparing different views.
C．By analyzing certain reasons.
D．By providing background information.
5．What was the major obstacle for girls to receive education in Sajoi?
A．Most families had a tight budget.
B．They were engaged in working.
C．The locals didn’t value education much.
D．The educational resources were insufficient.
6．What does the underlined word “honed” mean in paragraph 5?
A．Abandoned.
B．Explained.
C．Adopted.
D．Improved.
7．What is the purpose of the text?
A．To explain the consequences of poor knowledge.
B．To show efforts to fight against illiteracy in India.
C．To reflect on the current educational situation in India.
D．To inform us of the urgent need for the youth to get educated.
If you’ve ever learned a new language, you know how difficult it can be. Native languages seem almost built in. But learning a new language, especially after early childhood, can be a huge task, burdened by long vocabulary lists to memorize and troublesome rules to master. Nevertheless, it’s worth the effort.
John Grundy, a scientist at Iowa State University who specializes in languages and the brain, explains that learning a new language causes extensive neuroplasticity (神经塑性) in the brain. In other words, when you learn a new language, your brain gets rearranged, new connections are made and new pathways are formed. “It’s really just a remodeling of the brain that allows it to become more efficient,” Grundy says.
These changes don’t help with just language functions. Chung-Fat-Yim, a post-doctoral researcher at Northwestern University, says they affect the whole executive processing part of the brain, what she calls the CEO of the brain. Bilinguals (双语者) use that area for language control, but also for other purposes such as the ability to plan for future behaviors, monitor and change behavior as needed, and switch between tasks. Being bilingual might also make you a nicer person. The bilingual person has to have an awareness that different people can hold different mental states about the same event. So they are more likely to develop greater empathy (共情).
Having a second language can even help to prevent or at least delay intelligence decline. There is a consistent finding that bilinguals are able to put off symptoms of mental disorders for about four to six years compared to those speaking one language.
If you’re thinking it’s too late, you’re probably wrong. It’s true that young children do more quickly learn whatever language they’re exposed to. But when it comes to adding on a new one, adults aren’t as at much of a disadvantage as you might think. If you practice a lot and bury yourself in the language, you can see the benefits at any age, especially when you get older.
8．What does John Grundy think of picking up a new language?
A．It reshapes the brain and improves its efficiency.
B．It indeed lays a heavy burden on learners.
C．It is enough to memorize vocabulary and grammar.
D．It has a negative effect on learners’ native language.
9．What do we know about Bilinguals in paragraph 3?
A．They change their behaviors frequently.
B．They may not concentrate on one thing.
C．They are more likely to understand others.
D．They tend to find faults with others’ work.
10．What is vital in acquiring a new language for adults?
A．Age.
B．Engagement.
C．Motivation.
D．Strategy.
11．What does the text mainly talk about?
A．How learning a language changes your brain.
B．Picking up a new language is a huge challenge.
C．Using more languages means less diseases.
D．How to master a new language effectively.
In the threatening trouble of climate change, growing commercial crops on solar farms is a potentially efficient use of agricultural land that can both increase commercial food production and improve solar panel performance and longevity(寿命), according to a new Cornell research.
“We now have, for the first time, a physics-based tool to estimate the costs and benefits of co-locating solar panels and commercial agriculture in terms of increased power conversion efficiency and solar-pancl longevity, ” said lead author Henry Williams, a doctoral student in Cornell Engineering.
“There is potential for agrivoltaic (农业光伏) systems-where agriculture and solar panels coexist-to provide increased passive cooling through taller panel heights, more reflective ground cover and higher evapotranspiration (蒸散) rates compared to traditional solar farms,” said Max Zhang, professor in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, “We can generate renewable electricity and conserve farmland through agrivoltaic systems.” In New York, for example, about 40% of solar farm capacity has been developed on agricultural lands, while about 84% of land suitable for solar development is agricultural, according to a previous research study from Zhang’s group.
The engineers showed that solar panels mounted over vegetation reveal surface temperature drops compared to those built over bare ground. Solar panels were mounted 4 meters above a cotton crop and the solar panels showed temperature reductions by up to 10 degrees Celsius, compared with those mounted a half-meter above bare soil.
“As you decrease the solar panel operating temperature, you can increase efficiency and improve the longevity of your solar panels, ” said Williams, “We’re showing double benefits. On one hand, you have food production for farmers, and on the other hand, we’ve shown improved longevity and improved conversion efficiency for solar developers.”
“Up to this point, most of the benefits from agrivoltaic systems have been around areas with abundant sunshine, ” said Zhang, “This research is taking a step toward evaluating the application of agrivoltaics in climates representative of the Northeastern U. S. in relaxing the land-use competition it faces.”
12．What does the new Cornell research convey?
A．Growing commercial crops can relieve climate change.
B．It’s costly to improve solar panel performance and longevity.
C．Commercial agriculture can increase power conversion efficiency.
D．The coexistence of solar panels and commercial crops is mutually beneficial.
13．Why does the author list the figures in paragraph 3?
A．To show the promising future of agrivoltaics.
B．To indicate the lack of solar farms in New York.
C．To tell agricultural lands are based on solar farms.
D．To demonstrate agricultural farms are more developed.
14．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．The Northeastern US is rich in agricultural lands.
B．Hot climate zones are ideal for developing agrivoltaics.
C．The research made a breakthrough in land-use competition.
D．The application of agrivoltaics in Northeastern US proved practical.
15．Which is a suitable title for the text?
A．Approaches to Tackling World Climate Change
B．Methods of Increasing Agricultural Production
C．Agrivoltaics Have Been Well Received in the US
D．Growing Crops at Solar Farms Generates Higher Efficiency
二、七选五
How to React to Upsetting Posts Online
It’s pretty common for upsetting and disturbing posts and videos to spread online. ___16___ There are plenty of ways you can respond and engage with this kind of content—in any case, taking care of your mental health is especially important. Suspend before you share or reply. Misinformation can be really emotionally triggering(触发). ___17___ Even if you have a strong reaction to something you see online, slow down and take some time to analyze the content before you share it or respond.
Fact-check the information. Misinformation is often designed to look appealing and accurate, so it can be tempting to trust the content you see in a high-quality graphic or post. That makes it especially important to fact- check the information. ___18___
Craft an informed reply if you think you can make a positive change. Some posts, however upsetting, come from a place of genuine ignorance. ___19___ Don’t feel like you have to fight every battle—if you feel like there are more effective ways to make a difference than potentially inviting an online fight, it’s okay to conduct those instead.
___20___ It can be hard to set your own opinions and emotions aside when you see a really upsetting post online. If you feel up to it, try being the bigger person and really listening to what the poster has to say even if their content is worded in a harmful way. Write out a response that addresses those negative feelings instead of the post itself.
A．It’s necessary to make a positive reply.
B．Avoid sharing any posts with misinformation.
C．You may be wondering how you can handle them.
D．Write a sympathetic reply so the poster feels heard.
E．You might see posts that make you feel mad, sad, or frightened.
F．Look into the source, the website, the author and the publication date.
G． If that is the case, write a response that clarifies the claims being presented.

六、读后续写
47．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。
It was 7:15 a. m. on Monday, and Frank, an engineer, was on his morning run along the East River. Suddenly, something caught his eyes-a large 60-year-old man balancing on the four-foot-high railing (栏杆) that guarded the path from the water. Curious and confused, Frank stopped to get closer to the scene, only to find the man took a step forward and dropped into the dark river below.
When Frank reached the railing, the man was struggling in the water, clearly unable to swim. He screamed desperately for help as the current pulled him away from the bank.
By now, a crowd had gathered on land. People had called the police, but it was unclear when they’d get there. Without hesitation, dropping his phone and keys on land, Frank jumped in. Just as the old man was losing strength, Frank grabbed hold of him. Unexpectedly, the strong wind forced the water to tear them apart again.
Having seen what had happened, another two joggers made a quick response. They dived from where they stood into the river, and swam towards the pair, who were about 30 yards from the seawall. Immediately they caught up to the old man. The three stabilized him, with one supporting his back and the other two holding him up from either side. However, the old man was unresponsive, but not unconscious. As the men made their way towards the seawall that stretched for blocks in each direction, Frank had an awful realization: With the water flowing a good eight feet below the lip of the wall and no ladder or dock in sight, there was no way out of the river. ”A rescue boat is on its way, “ someone yelled to them. The old man, who was six foot two and weighed around 260 pounds, was deadweight in his rescuers’ arms, which meant they could only use their legs to save themselves. They were almost out of energy at that point.
注意：
1. 续写的词数应为150左右；

Some posts, however upsetting, come from a place of genuine ignorance.(如果你认为自己可以做出积极的改变，那就精心设计一个明智的回复。有些帖子，无论多么令人沮丧，都来自于真正的无知。)”可知，作者认为回复帖子的方法要明智，同时说明了会出现一些表明无知的帖子。选项G“If that is the case, write a response that clarifies the claims being presented.(如果是这样的话，写一份回复，澄清陈述的内容。)”是上文内容的延续，指的是当遇到一些无知的帖子时，有必要写一份回复，澄清陈述的内容。故选G。
20．根据下文内容“It can be hard to set your own opinions and emotions aside when you see a really upsetting post online. If you feel up to it, try being the bigger person and really listening to what the poster has to say even if their content is worded in a harmful way.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述筷子的使用渊源。
36．考查定语从句。句意：筷子、刀叉、勺子的使用要晚得多，其中筷子是中国餐饮器具的一个奇迹，已经有几千年的历史了。分析句子可知，“among chopsticks, with a history of thousands of years”为定语从句，先行词为“Chopsticks, forks, knives and spoons”，在从句中作介词among的宾语，所以用关系代词which，故填which。
37．考查冠词。句意同上。wonder“奇迹”为可数名词，这里指一个奇迹，所以空处用不定冠词a，表示“一个奇迹”，故填a。
38．考查比较级。句意：它们的上半部分是方形的，下半部分是圆形的，或者都是圆形的。结合空前“Their upper parts are square and”可知，这里指下半部分，即“更低的部分”，所以用比较级lower，故填lower。
39．考查并列连词。句意同上。结合空处前后内容可知，此处表示选择关系，所以用连词or，故填or。
40．考查副词。句意：通常，人们用右手拿筷子夹食物。空处在句中为陈述性状语，用副词normally，因处于句首，首字母大写。故填Normally。
41．考查名词。句意：筷子的发明充分显示了中国人的灵巧和聪明。结合空前“ the dexterity(灵巧)and”可知，空处用名词intelligence，与名词dexterity并列，作宾语。故填intelligence。
42．考查时态和语态。句意：据一些日本学者称，正确使用筷子需要80多个关节和50块肌肉的熟练互动，更重要的是，某些神经也参与其中。空处在句中为谓语，结合前文“to properly handle chopsticks requires the skillul interaction of over 80 joints(关节)and 50 muscles”，可知空处的时态为一般现在时；主语“certain nerves”，为复数含义，与动词“involve”为动宾关系，故填are involved。
43．考查非谓语。句意：筷子是一种由竹子或木头制成的夹取食物的工具，被汉族和一些少数民族广泛使用。结合句中“is widely used by the Hans and some minority ethnic groups”可知，空处在句中为非谓语，名词“Chopsticks”与动词“make”为动宾关系，所以空处用过去分词made，故填made。
44．考查介词。句意：一些优雅的带有汉字的筷子很有艺术感。结合句意可知，这里表示“印有汉字的筷子”，介词with“具有，带有”，故填with。

一、阅读理解
Travelling in Paris
The uniform sandstone of the Haussmann buildings, the variety of golden historic monuments, and the attractive Seine and its elegant bridges have arguably made Paris the most recognizable and romanticized cityscape in the world. But though the city wears its history with characteristic style, it is also increasingly looking to the future and outwards to the rest of the world.
Where to go
Those looking to explore the city’s rich heritage can spend long afternoons getting lost in the Louvre or wandering the Orsay Museum, or ducking in and out of Paris’s countless historical churches. For more contemporary tastes, there’s plenty of exploring to be done in the less jam-packed outer regions-from arts venues (场所) on the sloping streets of Belleville to the luxurious hotels and reinvented bars.
When to go
You can come to Paris any time but the atmosphere is quite different at different times of year. Winter is a time for festivals and feasting on games and oysters (牡蛎). Spring and early summer are the time to make the most of city parks and café terraces, with fireworks set off on June 21 and military parade held on July 14. In August the capital slows down and some people love it for the feeling of calm. The autumn renewable activities start with a burst of energy for the new cultural season and big exhibition openings.
What to buy
Choose from one of the tastiest cheese selections in the city at La Fermetteon Rue Montorgueil and vacuum-pack your selection to bring home.
Know before you go
Embassy/Consulate: 0144513100; ukinfrance. fco. gov. uk for passports and most other visitor services.

It’s an unconventional setting. Children of varying ages are reading actively. Seated next to them are teenagers, many of them girls, staring at the Hindi alphabet(字母表)on the blackboard. In charge of this class are three young girls, not much older than their students. But when Tabassum, Tarannum and Rubina, no more than 22, start speaking, you know the difference. Their confidence takes you by surprise.
A little over 10 kilometres from Varanasi lies the village of Sajoi where illiteracy(文 盲)was quite common. It had blocked out modernity until recently, especially when it came to its women. Educating girls was considered pointless, and the possibility of women stepping out of their homes, unthinkable.
Things began to change in 2010 when Human Welfare Association (HWA), identified Sajoi for a planned intervention. HWA set up a centre in Sajoi to offer free education but the villagers needed to be convinced to join in. The organization needed volunteers who valued education. Tabassum, Tarannum and Rubina embraced the opportunity.
After completing their high school education, the girls set out on another important mission-persuading the locals to send their children to schools. “We went knocking at every door, talking to elders, “recalls Rubina. Some villagers asked them to mind their own business. “We didn’t let all this distract our attention from the main goal, ” Rubina says.
The girls honed their approach. They didn’t ask people to stop their children from working, but urged them to send them to schools for an hour or two. Slowly, children started trickling(缓 慢增加)in. Motivational Learning Centre, as the girls call it, is no replacement for school. It is there, in fact, that they create the hunger for knowledge. It also helps school-going children so they don’t lose interest and drop out.
Those who doubted the girls’ intentions now recommend the centre to others. The number of admissions to schools has steadily increased and the dropout rate in Sajoi has fallen.
4．How does the author start the text?
A．By describing a typical scene.
B．By comparing different views.
C．By analyzing certain reasons.
D．By providing background information.
5．What was the major obstacle for girls to receive education in Sajoi?
A．Most families had a tight budget.
B．They were engaged in working.
C．The locals didn’t value education much.
D．The educational resources were insufficient.
6．What does the underlined word “honed” mean in paragraph 5?
A．Abandoned.
B．Explained.
C．Adopted.
D．Improved.
7．What is the purpose of the text?
A．To explain the consequences of poor knowledge.
B．To show efforts to fight against illiteracy in India.
C．To reflect on the current educational situation in India.
D．To inform us of the urgent need for the youth to get educated.
If you’ve ever learned a new language, you know how difficult it can be. Native languages seem almost built in. But learning a new language, especially after early childhood, can be a huge task, burdened by long vocabulary lists to memorize and troublesome rules to master. Nevertheless, it’s worth the effort.
John Grundy, a scientist at Iowa State University who specializes in languages and the brain, explains that learning a new language causes extensive neuroplasticity (神经塑性) in the brain. In other words, when you learn a new language, your brain gets rearranged, new connections are made and new pathways are formed. “It’s really just a remodeling of the brain that allows it to become more efficient,” Grundy says.
These changes don’t help with just language functions. Chung-Fat-Yim, a post-doctoral researcher at Northwestern University, says they affect the whole executive processing part of the brain, what she calls the CEO of the brain. Bilinguals (双语者) use that area for language control, but also for other purposes such as the ability to plan for future behaviors, monitor and change behavior as needed, and switch between tasks. Being bilingual might also make you a nicer person. The bilingual person has to have an awareness that different people can hold different mental states about the same event. So they are more likely to develop greater empathy (共情).
Having a second language can even help to prevent or at least delay intelligence decline. There is a consistent finding that bilinguals are able to put off symptoms of mental disorders for about four to six years compared to those speaking one language.
If you’re thinking it’s too late, you’re probably wrong. It’s true that young children do more quickly learn whatever language they’re exposed to. But when it comes to adding on a new one, adults aren’t as at much of a disadvantage as you might think. If you practice a lot and bury yourself in the language, you can see the benefits at any age, especially when you get older.
8．What does John Grundy think of picking up a new language?
A．It reshapes the brain and improves its efficiency.
B．It indeed lays a heavy burden on learners.
C．It is enough to memorize vocabulary and grammar.
D．It has a negative effect on learners’ native language.
9．What do we know about Bilinguals in paragraph 3?
A．They change their behaviors frequently.
B．They may not concentrate on one thing.
C．They are more likely to understand others.
D．They tend to find faults with others’ work.
10．What is vital in acquiring a new language for adults?
A．Age.
B．Engagement.
C．Motivation.
D．Strategy.
11．What does the text mainly talk about?
A．How learning a language changes your brain.
B．Picking up a new language is a huge challenge.
C．Using more languages means less diseases.
D．How to master a new language effectively.
In the threatening trouble of climate change, growing commercial crops on solar farms is a potentially efficient use of agricultural land that can both increase commercial food production and improve solar panel performance and longevity(寿命), according to a new Cornell research.
“We now have, for the first time, a physics-based tool to estimate the costs and benefits of co-locating solar panels and commercial agriculture in terms of increased power conversion efficiency and solar-pancl longevity, ” said lead author Henry Williams, a doctoral student in Cornell Engineering.
“There is potential for agrivoltaic (农业光伏) systems-where agriculture and solar panels coexist-to provide increased passive cooling through taller panel heights, more reflective ground cover and higher evapotranspiration (蒸散) rates compared to traditional solar farms,” said Max Zhang, professor in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, “We can generate renewable electricity and conserve farmland through agrivoltaic systems.” In New York, for example, about 40% of solar farm capacity has been developed on agricultural lands, while about 84% of land suitable for solar development is agricultural, according to a previous research study from Zhang’s group.
The engineers showed that solar panels mounted over vegetation reveal surface temperature drops compared to those built over bare ground. Solar panels were mounted 4 meters above a cotton crop and the solar panels showed temperature reductions by up to 10 degrees Celsius, compared with those mounted a half-meter above bare soil.
“As you decrease the solar panel operating temperature, you can increase efficiency and improve the longevity of your solar panels, ” said Williams, “We’re showing double benefits. On one hand, you have food production for farmers, and on the other hand, we’ve shown improved longevity and improved conversion efficiency for solar developers.”
“Up to this point, most of the benefits from agrivoltaic systems have been around areas with abundant sunshine, ” said Zhang, “This research is taking a step toward evaluating the application of agrivoltaics in climates representative of the Northeastern U. S. in relaxing the land-use competition it faces.”
12．What does the new Cornell research convey?
A．Growing commercial crops can relieve climate change.
B．It’s costly to improve solar panel performance and longevity.
C．Commercial agriculture can increase power conversion efficiency.
D．The coexistence of solar panels and commercial crops is mutually beneficial.
13．Why does the author list the figures in paragraph 3?
A．To show the promising future of agrivoltaics.
B．To indicate the lack of solar farms in New York.
C．To tell agricultural lands are based on solar farms.
D．To demonstrate agricultural farms are more developed.
14．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．The Northeastern US is rich in agricultural lands.
B．Hot climate zones are ideal for developing agrivoltaics.
C．The research made a breakthrough in land-use competition.
D．The application of agrivoltaics in Northeastern US proved practical.
15．Which is a suitable title for the text?
A．Approaches to Tackling World Climate Change
B．Methods of Increasing Agricultural Production
C．Agrivoltaics Have Been Well Received in the US
D．Growing Crops at Solar Farms Generates Higher Efficiency

How to React to Upsetting Posts Online
It’s pretty common for upsetting and disturbing posts and videos to spread online. ___16___ There are plenty of ways you can respond and engage with this kind of content—in any case, taking care of your mental health is especially important. Suspend before you share or reply. Misinformation can be really emotionally triggering(触发). ___17___ Even if you have a strong reaction to something you see online, slow down and take some time to analyze the content before you share it or respond.
Fact-check the information. Misinformation is often designed to look appealing and accurate, so it can be tempting to trust the content you see in a high-quality graphic or post. That makes it especially important to fact- check the information. ___18___
Craft an informed reply if you think you can make a positive change. Some posts, however upsetting, come from a place of genuine ignorance. ___19___ Don’t feel like you have to fight every battle—if you feel like there are more effective ways to make a difference than potentially inviting an online fight, it’s okay to conduct those instead.
___20___ It can be hard to set your own opinions and emotions aside when you see a really upsetting post online. If you feel up to it, try being the bigger person and really listening to what the poster has to say even if their content is worded in a harmful way. Write out a response that addresses those negative feelings instead of the post itself.
A．It’s necessary to make a positive reply.
B．Avoid sharing any posts with misinformation.
C．You may be wondering how you can handle them.
D．Write a sympathetic reply so the poster feels heard.
E．You might see posts that make you feel mad, sad, or frightened.

47．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。
It was 7:15 a. m. on Monday, and Frank, an engineer, was on his morning run along the East River. Suddenly, something caught his eyes-a large 60-year-old man balancing on the four-foot-high railing (栏杆) that guarded the path from the water. Curious and confused, Frank stopped to get closer to the scene, only to find the man took a step forward and dropped into the dark river below.
When Frank reached the railing, the man was struggling in the water, clearly unable to swim. He screamed desperately for help as the current pulled him away from the bank.
By now, a crowd had gathered on land. People had called the police, but it was unclear when they’d get there. Without hesitation, dropping his phone and keys on land, Frank jumped in. Just as the old man was losing strength, Frank grabbed hold of him. Unexpectedly, the strong wind forced the water to tear them apart again.
Having seen what had happened, another two joggers made a quick response. They dived from where they stood into the river, and swam towards the pair, who were about 30 yards from the seawall. Immediately they caught up to the old man. The three stabilized him, with one supporting his back and the other two holding him up from either side. However, the old man was unresponsive, but not unconscious. As the men made their way towards the seawall that stretched for blocks in each direction, Frank had an awful realization: With the water flowing a good eight feet below the lip of the wall and no ladder or dock in sight, there was no way out of the river. ”A rescue boat is on its way, “ someone yelled to them. The old man, who was six foot two and weighed around 260 pounds, was deadweight in his rescuers’ arms, which meant they could only use their legs to save themselves. They were almost out of energy at that point.
注意：
1. 续写的词数应为150左右；

1．推理判断题。根据文章中几个黑体字的内容可知，文章主要介绍的是去巴黎旅游的小贴士。由此推知，文章可能出自一本旅游手册。故选B。
2．细节理解题。根据Where to go中“Those looking to explore the city’s rich heritage can spend long afternoons getting lost in the Louvre or wandering the Orsay Museum, or ducking in and out of Paris’s countless historical churches.

Seated next to them are teenagers, many of them girls, staring at the Hindi alphabet(字母表)on the blackboard. In charge of this class are three young girls, not much older than their students. But when Tabassum, Tarannum and Rubina, no more than 22, start speaking, you know the difference. Their confidence takes you by surprise.”（这是一个非传统的环境。不同年龄的孩子都在积极地阅读。坐在他们旁边的是十几岁的孩子，其中很多是女孩，他们盯着黑板上的印地语字母。负责这个班的是三个年轻的女孩，她们比她们的学生大不了多少。但当不到22岁的塔巴苏姆、塔兰纳姆和鲁比娜开始说话时，你就知道其中的区别了。他们的自信会让你大吃一惊。）可知，本段通过描述生活中的一个学习场景，引入了文章的话题。故选A。
5．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Educating girls was considered pointless, and the possibility of women stepping out of their homes, unthinkable.”（教育女孩被认为是毫无意义的，女性走出家门的可能性是不可想象的。）可知，在Sajoi，女孩接受教育被认为是无意义的，即当地对教育，尤其是女孩的教育不重视。故选C。

Slowly, children started trickling(缓慢增加)in. Motivational Learning Centre, as the girls call it, is no replacement for school. It is there, in fact, that they create the hunger for knowledge. It also helps school-going children so they don’t lose interest and drop out.”（她们没有要求人们阻止她们的孩子工作，而是敦促他们送孩子去学校一到两个小时。慢慢地，孩子们开始陆续进来。女孩们所称的“激励学习中心”并不能取代学校。事实上，正是在那里，他们产生了求知欲。它还可以帮助学龄儿童，使他们不会失去兴趣而辍学。）可知，女孩们对教育的观点改变了。选项D.“improved”(改善，改进）符合题意，故选D。
7．推理判断题。通读全文，文章第一段描述了生活中的一个学习场景，第二段讲述了在Sajoi，女孩接受教育被认为是无意义的。第三段讲述在2010年，当人类福利协会(HWA)确定Sajoi进行有计划的干预时，情况开始发生变化。第四、五段提到女孩们对于教育的观点的改变。所以本文主要为了说明印度为消除文盲所做的努力。故选B。

18．根据空前内容“Fact-check the information. Misinformation is often designed to look appealing and accurate, so it can be tempting to trust the content you see in a high-quality graphic or post.

20．根据下文内容“It can be hard to set your own opinions and emotions aside when you see a really upsetting post online.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述筷子的使用渊源。
36．考查定语从句。句意：筷子、刀叉、勺子的使用要晚得多，其中筷子是中国餐饮器具的一个奇迹，已经有几千年的历史了。分析句子可知，“among chopsticks, with a history of thousands of years”为定语从句，先行词为“Chopsticks, forks, knives and spoons”，在从句中作介词among的宾语，所以用关系代词which，故填which。
37．考查冠词。句意同上。wonder“奇迹”为可数名词，这里指一个奇迹，所以空处用不定冠词a，表示“一个奇迹”，故填a。
38．考查比较级。句意：它们的上半部分是方形的，下半部分是圆形的，或者都是圆形的。结合空前“Their upper parts are square and”可知，这里指下半部分，即“更低的部分”，所以用比较级lower，故填lower。

42．考查时态和语态。句意：据一些日本学者称，正确使用筷子需要80多个关节和50块肌肉的熟练互动，更重要的是，某些神经也参与其中。空处在句中为谓语，结合前文“to properly handle chopsticks requires the skillul interaction of over 80 joints(关节)and 50 muscles”，可知空处的时态为一般现在时；主语“certain nerves”，为复数含义，与动词“involve”为动宾关系，故填are involved。
43．考查非谓语。句意：筷子是一种由竹子或木头制成的夹取食物的工具，被汉族和一些少数民族广泛使用。结合句中“is widely used by the Hans and some minority ethnic groups”可知，空处在句中为非谓语，名词“Chopsticks”与动词“make”为动宾关系，所以空处用过去分词made，故填made。
44．考查介词。句意：一些优雅的带有汉字的筷子很有艺术感。结合句意可知，这里表示“印有汉字的筷子”，介词with“具有，带有”，故填with。

46．My Favorite Chinese Idiom
Good morning, everyone!
Frankly speaking, the Chinese idiom “Qie Er Bu She” is one of my favorite expressions, which has helped me go through many tough days.
It conveys the meaning of “the persistence instead of giving up”. Four characters combined, this idiom denotes the determination to explore despite being confronted with difficulties. The reason why I appreciate the proverb is that it lifts me up both academically and physically.
I would be obliged if this idiom can illuminate others of my age.
That’s all. Thank you.

47． Then appeared a rescue boat with a pole attached to it. Frank supported the back of the old man whom the other two pushed upward the boat with great efforts. At the same time, someone on the boat pulled the old man up, making it in the end. Then, the three in the water grasped the pole on the boat, with which they climbed aboard, to safety. The three men sat on the boat, looking pale and exhausted, out of breath. Within ten minutes, the group was back on land.
The old man was rushed to hospital. Luckily, the details on his condition proved there was nothing wrong with him and he recovered in a short time. “Thank you for saving my life,” he said, showing his sincere gratitude to Frank and the two men, who left the hospital in relief after ensuring the old man was safe. Frank returned to work, obviously late. “I was a bit late, but I had a good excuse. It is worth enough,” he thought.
【导语】文章以时间为线索展开。周一早上7点15分，正在晨跑的工程师弗兰克看到一个60岁的高大男人站在栏杆上。弗兰克既好奇又困惑，停下来想走上前查看究竟。然后发现那个男人向前走了一步，掉进了下面漆黑的河里。看到那个人在水里挣扎，弗兰克毫不犹豫地跳进河里救人。就在老人失去力气的时候，弗兰克抓住了他。然而强风迫使水把他们分开。随后两个慢跑者也跳入了河里，三人合力稳住了老人，然而在他们游向海堤时，他们看不到梯子或码头，只看到根本没有办法出去。他们只能用双腿自救。而那时他们几乎没有力气了。
