Authors Share Their Favorite Books
Kristan Higgins
“Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh was a book I read over and over as a kid. I loved Harriet’s independence and drive and her ability to get where she wanted. Most of all, Harriet reminded me that everyone has a story worth reading.”
Kristan Higgins is a New York Times-bestselling author of more than 20 novels.
Nisha Sharma
“I was crazy about Pride and Prejudice from the moment I read the very first sentence. Elizabeth Bennet is a strong-willed heroine who knows her mind and her heart. At a young age，Jane Austen made me believe that strong women like Elizabeth deserve love from men who respect their intelligence. I can confidently say Jane Austen’s story shaped the direction of my writing career.”
Nisha Sharma is the author of My So-Called Bollywood Life.
Elyssa Friedland
“I absolutely adore Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine. What could be better than a story about a girl forced 7 obey every order because of a gift from a fairy(仙女)? Tired of being taken advantage of，the girl，with a talking book as her companion，leaves her home to find the fairy to return her unwanted gift. This is a story about taking matters into one’s own hands and using wisdom and determination to overcome what seems like an insurmountable obstacle(不可逾越的障碍).”
Elyssa Friedland is the author of the novel named The Intermission.
Vesper Stamper
“It’s hard to beat the Bronte sisters for their woman power. My favorite book of all time is Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte，which proves that a girl or woman can have inner strength and great power by being herself，even if that is ‘poor，plain and little.’ Jane refuses to give in to moral convenience，at great cost to herself. As a result，she finds true love and changes the lives of those she comes across. A lesson for me：Sometimes it’s in the small acts that a real change is made.”
Vesper Stamper is the author of What the Night Sings，an incredibly moving novel.

For more than a decade, Tree House Craft Coffee & Frozen Yogurt has been a beloved part of the community in Houston’s Energy Corridor. They’ve offered espresso-based drinks, cold-brewed coffee and 12 flavors of frozen yogurt with 32 topping options. However, when the hurricane Harvey destroyed the east coast of Texas, owner Noel Montemayor stepped up to support the community in a meaningful way.
Even though his own storefront had been torn away by the storm, he brought in generators (发电机) to run the espresso and ice machines to offer beverages to first responders, providing free coffee and electricity to members of the community and keeping their restrooms open to the public. He created a place where his neighbors could escape the destruction, even if it was just for a little while.
The hurricane came just two years after Montemayor and his wife had rebranded and remodeled the shop, soon after welcoming their first child. Born and raised in Houston, it was important to him to make his community a better place. He has remained committed to that mission, providing both a positive gathering spot and local employment opportunities.
Though the COVID-19 pandemic was a roadblock at the beginning, Tree House quickly started to offer online ordering and other services to keep customers fueled with their favorite coffee and frozen yogurt. “The community plays an important role in shaping the business,” he said “It’s the reason the business is what it is today.”
Montemayor and his staff — which has grown from just a few team members when he opened to 12 full-time employees now — continue to give back by getting involved in local activities and fundraisers.
24、What did Tree House do when the COVID-19 pandemic happened?
A. It offered timely new services.
B. It was soon rebranded and remodeled.
C. It immediately provided free coffee
D. It created a place to escape the pandemic.
25、What can we infer from the passage?
A. Tree House will enjoy a better relationship with the community.
B. Tree House will certainly continue to give back to the community.
C. Tree House will keep providing better and cheaper products.
D. Tree House will completely change the whole community.
26、Which word can best describe Tree House?
A. Professional. B. Responsible. C. High-paying. D. Profitable.
27、What does the passage mainly want to tell us?
A. Small business can grow big quickly.
B. A good tradition benefits a small shop.
C. A good shop depends on its community.
D. A small business makes a big difference.
A promotion(促销活动)offering 98 yuan domestic plane tickets is being advertised by Chinese online travel platform LY.COM. While such a low price sounds amazing, there is just one catch: he purchaser is not told where the flight is heading，nor when it will take off.
The promotion has become a trending topic on Chinese social media as some people have been attempting to book them ahead of the upcoming May Day holiday. Labeled as a “destination blind box” on the site, tickets are purchased through a rather simple booking procedure, in which passengers provide their travel information, select a departure airport and then pay their 98 yuan. If the randomly chosen date and destination are unsuitable, users may ask for a refund, but once they “lock in” their tickets，there is no going back.
“Destination blind box” is now a hot topic on China’s online platforms. “I believe young people are a big target demographic(特定年龄段人口)for this promotion, because they not only enjoy the thrill of the unknown, but also like to show off their lives through these types of commercial activities. Like this one for instance, it doesn’t matter if they finally go or not. Booking a ticket and posting about it on social media can still suggest that one has adventurous and life-loving qualities, ” said Fan，a marketing expert who has worked with civil aviation clients.
Many people not only shared the screenshots of tickets they drew, some even came up with a tutorial to teach the booking procedure under the free cancelling policy. However，some others claimed it is too rare to draw a ticket that is ideal. “If it wants to be a profitable activity，the release of the tickets must have been planned ahead and is not as random as it seems. It will not have popular airlines. The marketing campaign may also be aimed at the fast sale of some tickets from less popular airlines that were originally not that expensive. If they sell a large quantity of tickets, the company may still earn a profit even though the price is 98 yuan, ” an expert in tourism suggested.
28、Which of the following best explains “catch” underlined in paragraph 1?
A. Benefit. B. Mistake. C. Disadvantage. D. Charm.
29、What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The origin of “destination blind box”.
B. The purchase introduction to “destination blind box”.
C. The original purpose of “destination blind box”.
D. The popularity of “destination blind box”.
30、Why will “destination blind box” appeal to young people according to Fan?
A. It allows them to experience various adventures.
B. It satisfies their desire to travel around China.
C. It helps them save money on the cost of travel.
D. It accords with their lifestyle and attitudes.
31、In which part of a newspaper can you find this article?
A. Economy. B. Science. C. Culture. D. Advertisement.
One major issue in contemporary medical science is the use of humans in clinical trials of medical products. These trials occur frequently to determine the best way to manage diseases.
People are invited randomly and paid to take part in trials of an experimental drug, or new surgical procedure, in a number of countries at the one time. For example, up to a quarter of patients in some fields like breast cancer may be engaged. Other projects, one of which is to determine whether new scanning techniques can detect Alzheimer’s disease, are under way. They may be given the drug or a placebo (安慰剂), or the best existing treatment, and results compared. The trials may be “blind” with the patient not knowing which group they are in or they may be a “double-blind” with the doctors not knowing either.
Actually, so many people offer themselves willingly. Patients take the views that at least they will get special attention from the doctor if they participate and they may get access to new drugs before they become available in chemists’ shops. In some countries people are paid to participate, especially in poorer countries where they may be told little of what is actually happening.
Yet there are significant risks too. One US study estimated that one in 30 people suffered side effects from such trials, and one in 10, 000 dies. Doctors say that the risk is not so great during the trial itself, where patients are closely monitored, but comes when the drug is released on the market place. For example, in 2004 a US company recalled an arthritis drug, when it was found that after 18 months of use, the risk of heart attack and stroke increased.
People who support testing claim the risks to the individual are small compared with the benefits. Even if the individual has adverse outcomes and their condition worsens, that is valuable information for the drug company. While the drug companies usually pay for the hospital trials, government has set up medical committees to handle the issue.
32、What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. The purpose of medical trial. B. The groups of medical trial.
C. The procedure of medical trial. D. The result of medical trial.
33、Why does the author mention the example in the fourth paragraph?
A. To explain the risks of some drugs appear when they are sold.
B. To tell us a lot of patients die from the medical trials.
C. To show the risk of heart attack and stroke has increased.
D. To introduce the risks of the medical trials are not so great.
34、What docs the underlined word “adverse” in the last paragraph mean?
A. subjective B. effective C. negative D. impressive
35、What would the author most probably discuss next?
A. How the medical committees solve the problem.
B. How the government gathers the information.
C. How the medical committees pay for the hospital trials.
D. How the government prevents clinical trials.
三、七选五
36、A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps，for there is the companionship of books as well as of men. ①______

Dear Mandy,
I'm not doing well in my lessons at school, especial in maths. My dad says I must try hard because he wants me go to university. He thinks I'm lazy, but it's not true. I work really hard, studied late into the night. I've tried to talk to my mother, but she always said I have to work as hard like my brother does. My brother doesn't study very hard, and he always gets excellent grades. It's not fair!
The only thing I like it is art. My teacher says I'm the best student she's had for year. When I told my dad, all he said was, “You mustn't waste your time on art. You must focus your mind in your lessons!” I'm feeling quite puzzling about what to do now. Would you please help me out?
Thanks a lot!
Yours sincerely，
Lisa

If the randomly chosen date and destination are unsuitable, users may ask for a refund, but once they “lock in” their tickets, there is no going back.(在该网站上，机票被标记为“旅游盲盒”，乘客通过一个相当简单的预订程序购买机票，在这个程序中，乘客提供他们的旅行信息，选择一个出发机场，然后支付他们的98元。如果随机选择的日期和目的地是不合适的，用户可以要求退款，但一旦他们“锁定”他们的机票，没有回去）”可知，第二段主要介绍了“旅游盲盒”的购买介绍。故选B。
30、答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中“I believe young people are a big target demographic(特定年龄段人口) for this promotion, because they not only enjoy the thrill of the unknown, but also like to show off their lives through these types of commercial activities. Like this one for instance, it doesn't matter if they finally go or not. Booking a ticket and posting about it on social media can still suggest that one has adventurous and life-loving qualities," said Fan, a marketing expert who has worked with civil aviation clients.(“我相信年轻人是这次推广的一大目标群体，因为他们不仅享受未知的刺激，还喜欢通过这类商业活动来炫耀自己的生活。比如这个，他们最终去不去并不重要。预订机票并在社交媒体上发布相关信息，仍然可以表明一个人具有冒险精神和热爱生活的品质，”曾与民航客户打过交道的市场营销专家Fan表示）”可推知，Fan认为“旅游盲盒”会对年轻人有吸引力是因为它符合他们的生活方式和态度。故选D。
31、答案：A
解析：推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“A promotion(促销活动）offering 98 yuan domestic plane tickets is being advertised by Chinese online travel platform LY.COM.(中国在线旅游平台LY.COM正在进行一项98元的国内机票促销活动)”和第二段中“The promotion has become a trending topic on Chinese social media as some people have been attempting to book them ahead of the upcoming May Day holiday. Labeled as a "destination blind box" on the site, tickets are purchased through a rather simple booking procedure, in which passengers provide their travel information, select a departure airport and then pay their 98 yuan.(这个促销活动已经成为中国社交媒体上的一个热门话题，因为一些人试图在即将到来的五一假期之前预订它们。在该网站上，机票被标记为“旅游盲盒”，乘客通过一个相当简单的预订程序购买机票，在这个程序中，乘客提供他们的旅行信息，选择一个出发机场，然后支付他们的98元）”和最后一段中“If they sell a large quantity of tickets, the company may still earn a profit even though the price is 98 yuan.(如果他们卖出大量的门票，即使票价是98元，公司仍然可以赚取利润”可知，文章主要介绍了中国在线旅游平台LY.COM推出了一项98元的国内机票促销活动，购买机票的乘客没有被告知航班的目的地，也没有被告知航班何时起飞。由此可知，机票促销与经济有关。由此推知，文章可能来自报纸的经济专栏。故选A。
32、答案：C
解析：段落大意题。根据第二段People are invited randomly and paid to take part in trials of an experimental drug，or new surgical procedure，in a number of countries at the one time. （人们被随机邀请并支付报酬，同时在多个国家参加实验性药物或新外科手术的试验。）可知第二段主要讲述医学试验的程序。故选C。
33、答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段Doctors say that the risk is not so great during the trial itself，where patients are closely monitored，but comes when the drug is released on the market place.For example，in 2004 a US company recalled an arthritis drug，when it was found that after 18 months of use，the risk of heart attack and stroke increased. （医生们说，在试验期间，患者受到密切监测，风险并不大，但当药物投放市场时，风险就会出现。例如，2004年，一家美国公司召回了一种关节炎药物，因为它被发现在使用18个月后，心脏病发作和中风的风险增加了。）可知作者在第四段提到这个例子实在解释一些药物在出售时出现的风险。故选A。
34、答案：C
解析：词义猜测题。根据划线词上文People who support testing claim the risks to the individual are small compared with the benefits. （支持测试的人声称，与好处相比，测试对个人的风险很小。）可推测下文意思是"即使患者有不良后果，病情恶化，这对制药公司来说也是有价值的信息。"由此可猜测单词adverse意为"负面的"，C.negative负面的；B.effective有效的；A.subjective主观的；D.impressive印象深刻的。故选C。
35、答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段While the drug companies usually pay for the hospital trials，government has set up medical committees to handle the issue. （虽然通常由制药公司支付医院试验费用，但政府已经成立了医疗委员会来处理这一问题。）可推断下文最有可能讨论医疗委员会如何解决这个问题。故选A。
36、答案：①-⑤FDGEA
解析：本文是议论文。文章介绍了书籍和人类的各种关系，以及阅读所带来的好处。
①上文“A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps, for there is the companionship of books as well as of men. (通常看一个人读些什么书就可知道他的为人，就像看他同什么人交往就可知道他的为人一样，因为有人以人为伴，也有人以书为伴)”说明可以通过一个人读的书籍或是同伴来了解一个人的为人。与F选项And one should live in the best company whether it may be of books or men.(无论是书还是人，我们都应该以最好的为伴)意思一致。故选F。
②上文“It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. (它是最有耐心、最令人愉快的伴侣)”说明书籍对人的陪伴的作用。与D选项It doesn't turn its back upon us in times of difficulty or hardship.(在我们遇到困难的时候，它也不会抛弃我们)语义一致。故选D项。
③下文“They do so just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which they both have for a third. (就像有时两个人因为敬慕同一个人而交了朋友一样)”句中的so为关键词，与上文为指代关系，指代G选项Men discover their liking for each other by the love they each have for a book.(人们通过彼此喜爱一本书而发现彼此的喜爱)，并与之形成并列关系。故选G项。
④下文“We hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were actors or actresses with them in the scenes which they describe. (我们能听到他们说了什么，做了什么；我们看到他们，就好像他们真的活着；我们同情他们，与他们一起享受生活；他们的经历变成了我们自己的，我们觉得自己仿佛是他们所描述的场景中的演员)”句中的they为关键词，指的是E选项中的the greatest minds that have ever lived(有史以来最富有才智的人)。故选E项。
⑤上文“There is a story of two men: one was a king, who dreamed every night that he was a beggar; the other was a beggar, who dreamed every night that he was a prince , and lived in a palace. (有一个关于两个人的故事：一个是国王，他每天晚上都梦见自己是一个乞丐；另一个是乞丐，他每天晚上都梦见自己是一位王子，住在宫殿里)”句中的dreamed与A选项的Imagination相对应。同时，A选项中又与下文“But when we read, we may not only be kings and live in palaces, but, what is far better, we may transport ourselves to the mountains or the seashore, and visit the most beautiful parts of the world, without tiredness ,inconvenience or expense. (但是，当我们读书时，我们不仅可以成为国王，住在宫殿里，而且，更妙的是，我们可以神驰群山，或畅游海滨，我们也可遍访世界上最美丽的地方，而无需劳累，也没有什么不方便，更无须花费分文)”形成转折关系。故选A项。

57、答案：①and②universal③which④activities⑤consists⑥are served⑦to convey⑧However/Nevertheless⑨particularly⑩taken
解析：①考查连词。句意:中国烹饪中使用的天然材料和烹饪方法种类繁多,举世无双,这可能是中国餐馆和烹饪在海外普遍流行的原因。结合句意可知,此处前后为并列关系,故填and。
②考查形容词。句意:中国烹饪中使用的天然材料和烹饪方法种类繁多,举世无双,这可能是中国餐馆和烹饪在海外普遍流行的原因。此处用形容词作定语修饰名词popularity,故填universal。
③考查定语从句。句意:判断中国烹饪的三个关键要素是“色、香、味”。此处引导定语从句,先行词为three key elements,在从句中作介词by的宾语,故填which。
④考查可数名词的复数。句意:它们是通过结合一系列微妙的活动来实现的。activity为可数名词,空前有a series of修饰,故用名词的复数形式,故填activities。
⑤考查动词时态及主谓一致。句意:来到中国的游客通常会感到惊讶,一桌八个人的典型晚餐包括冷热菜肴、汤和米饭。结合句意可知,此处在讲述客观事实,句子用一般现在时,主语为a typical dinner,谓语动词用三单形式,故填consists。

⑩考查过去分词。句意:虽然这一习俗对外国游客来说特别奇怪,但它显示了一个关键方面,在好朋友的陪伴下,美食和美酒构成了我们生活中最大的乐趣之一。此处为非谓语动词作定语,fine food and good drink与take之间是被动关系,故用过去分词作定语,故填taken。
58、答案：
Dear Mandy,
I’m not doing well in my lessons at school, in maths. My dad says I must try hard because he wants me go to university. He thinks I’m lazy, but it’s not true. I work really hard, often late into the night! I’ve tried to talk to my mother, but she always I have to work as hard my brother does. My brother doesn’t study very hard, he always gets excellent grades. It’s not fair! The only thing I like is art. My teacher says I’m the best student she’s had for . When I told my dad, all he said was, “You mustn’t waste your time art. You must focus your mind on your lessons!” I’m feeling quite as to what to do now. Would you please help me out?
Thanks a lot!
Yours,
Lisa
解析：1.考查副词的使用。 只能用副词修饰句子，而不能用形容词。句意：我在学校的功课不太好，尤其是数学。故答案为把第一句中的 especial 改为 especially。
2.考查非谓语动词。go 在句子做非谓语成分，应用非谓语动词的不定式，want sb. to do sth. 为固定搭配。句意：我爸爸说我必须努力，因为他想让我上大学。故答案为在第二句中的 me 后面加 to。
3.考查非谓语动词。study 与主语 I 为主谓关系，应用谓语动词的现在分词形式。句意：我学习非常努力，经常学习到深夜。故答案为把第四句的 study 改为 studying。
4.考查动词时态。根据 always 可知，句子的时态为一般现在时，且主语为 she，故谓语动词应使用第三人称单数。句意：我曾经尝试和我妈妈谈谈，但她总说我应该像我哥哥一样努力学习。故答案为把第五句的 said 改为 says。
5.考查固定搭配。as… as 为固定用法，意为像……一样。句意：我曾经尝试和我妈妈谈谈，但她总说我应该像我哥哥一样努力学习。故答案为把第五句的 like 改为 as。
6.考查连词的使用。根据句意可知，前后两个分句为转折关系，应用连词 but 连接。句意：我哥哥学习不努力，但他总是能取得优异的成绩。故答案为把第六句的 and 改为 but。
7.考查句子结构。分析句子成分可知，the only thing I like 是主语，is 是系动词，art 是表语，it 为多余成分。句意：我唯一喜欢的是美术。故答案为第八句中去掉 it 。
8.考查固定搭配和可数名词。for years 意为多年来，year 要加 s 表复数形式。句意：我的老师说我是几年来他教过的最好的学生。故答案为把第九句的 year 改为 years。
9.考查介词的使用。waste time on sth. 为固定搭配，意为在……上面浪费时间。句意：当我告诉我爸爸时，他只是说: "你不应该把时间浪费在美术上。你必须把注意力集中在功课上！”故答案为把第十句的 in 改为 on。
10.考查形容词做表语。当形容词做表语修饰人时，应用过去分词形式；修饰物时，应用现在分词形式。在此句中，puzzle 修饰的是人，故用过去分词形式。句意：我不知道现在该怎么办。故答案为把第十一句 puzzling 改为 puzzled。
59、答案：

Authors Share Their Favorite Books
Kristan Higgins
“Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh was a book I read over and over as a kid. I loved Harriet’s independence and drive and her ability to get where she wanted. Most of all, Harriet reminded me that everyone has a story worth reading.”
Kristan Higgins is a New York Times-bestselling author of more than 20 novels.
Nisha Sharma
“I was crazy about Pride and Prejudice from the moment I read the very first sentence. Elizabeth Bennet is a strong-willed heroine who knows her mind and her heart. At a young age，Jane Austen made me believe that strong women like Elizabeth deserve love from men who respect their intelligence. I can confidently say Jane Austen’s story shaped the direction of my writing career.”
Nisha Sharma is the author of My So-Called Bollywood Life.
Elyssa Friedland
“I absolutely adore Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine. What could be better than a story about a girl forced 7 obey every order because of a gift from a fairy(仙女)? Tired of being taken advantage of，the girl，with a talking book as her companion，leaves her home to find the fairy to return her unwanted gift. This is a story about taking matters into one’s own hands and using wisdom and determination to overcome what seems like an insurmountable obstacle(不可逾越的障碍).”
Elyssa Friedland is the author of the novel named The Intermission.

“It’s hard to beat the Bronte sisters for their woman power. My favorite book of all time is Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte，which proves that a girl or woman can have inner strength and great power by being herself，even if that is ‘poor，plain and little.’ Jane refuses to give in to moral convenience，at great cost to herself. As a result，she finds true love and changes the lives of those she comes across. A lesson for me：Sometimes it’s in the small acts that a real change is made.”
Vesper Stamper is the author of What the Night Sings，an incredibly moving novel.

For more than a decade, Tree House Craft Coffee & Frozen Yogurt has been a beloved part of the community in Houston’s Energy Corridor. They’ve offered espresso-based drinks, cold-brewed coffee and 12 flavors of frozen yogurt with 32 topping options. However, when the hurricane Harvey destroyed the east coast of Texas, owner Noel Montemayor stepped up to support the community in a meaningful way.
Even though his own storefront had been torn away by the storm, he brought in generators (发电机) to run the espresso and ice machines to offer beverages to first responders, providing free coffee and electricity to members of the community and keeping their restrooms open to the public. He created a place where his neighbors could escape the destruction, even if it was just for a little while.
The hurricane came just two years after Montemayor and his wife had rebranded and remodeled the shop, soon after welcoming their first child. Born and raised in Houston, it was important to him to make his community a better place. He has remained committed to that mission, providing both a positive gathering spot and local employment opportunities.
Though the COVID-19 pandemic was a roadblock at the beginning, Tree House quickly started to offer online ordering and other services to keep customers fueled with their favorite coffee and frozen yogurt. “The community plays an important role in shaping the business,” he said “It’s the reason the business is what it is today.”
Montemayor and his staff — which has grown from just a few team members when he opened to 12 full-time employees now — continue to give back by getting involved in local activities and fundraisers.
24、What did Tree House do when the COVID-19 pandemic happened?
A. It offered timely new services.
B. It was soon rebranded and remodeled.
C. It immediately provided free coffee
D. It created a place to escape the pandemic.
25、What can we infer from the passage?
A. Tree House will enjoy a better relationship with the community.
B. Tree House will certainly continue to give back to the community.
C. Tree House will keep providing better and cheaper products.
D. Tree House will completely change the whole community.
26、Which word can best describe Tree House?
A. Professional. B. Responsible. C. High-paying. D. Profitable.
27、What does the passage mainly want to tell us?
A. Small business can grow big quickly.
B. A good tradition benefits a small shop.
C. A good shop depends on its community.
D. A small business makes a big difference.
A promotion(促销活动)offering 98 yuan domestic plane tickets is being advertised by Chinese online travel platform LY.COM. While such a low price sounds amazing, there is just one catch: he purchaser is not told where the flight is heading，nor when it will take off.
The promotion has become a trending topic on Chinese social media as some people have been attempting to book them ahead of the upcoming May Day holiday. Labeled as a “destination blind box” on the site, tickets are purchased through a rather simple booking procedure, in which passengers provide their travel information, select a departure airport and then pay their 98 yuan. If the randomly chosen date and destination are unsuitable, users may ask for a refund, but once they “lock in” their tickets，there is no going back.
“Destination blind box” is now a hot topic on China’s online platforms. “I believe young people are a big target demographic(特定年龄段人口)for this promotion, because they not only enjoy the thrill of the unknown, but also like to show off their lives through these types of commercial activities. Like this one for instance, it doesn’t matter if they finally go or not. Booking a ticket and posting about it on social media can still suggest that one has adventurous and life-loving qualities, ” said Fan，a marketing expert who has worked with civil aviation clients.
Many people not only shared the screenshots of tickets they drew, some even came up with a tutorial to teach the booking procedure under the free cancelling policy. However，some others claimed it is too rare to draw a ticket that is ideal. “If it wants to be a profitable activity，the release of the tickets must have been planned ahead and is not as random as it seems. It will not have popular airlines. The marketing campaign may also be aimed at the fast sale of some tickets from less popular airlines that were originally not that expensive. If they sell a large quantity of tickets, the company may still earn a profit even though the price is 98 yuan, ” an expert in tourism suggested.
28、Which of the following best explains “catch” underlined in paragraph 1?
A. Benefit. B. Mistake. C. Disadvantage. D. Charm.
29、What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The origin of “destination blind box”.

30、Why will “destination blind box” appeal to young people according to Fan?
A. It allows them to experience various adventures.
B. It satisfies their desire to travel around China.
C. It helps them save money on the cost of travel.
D. It accords with their lifestyle and attitudes.
31、In which part of a newspaper can you find this article?
A. Economy. B. Science. C. Culture. D. Advertisement.
One major issue in contemporary medical science is the use of humans in clinical trials of medical products. These trials occur frequently to determine the best way to manage diseases.
People are invited randomly and paid to take part in trials of an experimental drug, or new surgical procedure, in a number of countries at the one time. For example, up to a quarter of patients in some fields like breast cancer may be engaged. Other projects, one of which is to determine whether new scanning techniques can detect Alzheimer’s disease, are under way. They may be given the drug or a placebo (安慰剂), or the best existing treatment, and results compared. The trials may be “blind” with the patient not knowing which group they are in or they may be a “double-blind” with the doctors not knowing either.
Actually, so many people offer themselves willingly. Patients take the views that at least they will get special attention from the doctor if they participate and they may get access to new drugs before they become available in chemists’ shops. In some countries people are paid to participate, especially in poorer countries where they may be told little of what is actually happening.
Yet there are significant risks too. One US study estimated that one in 30 people suffered side effects from such trials, and one in 10, 000 dies. Doctors say that the risk is not so great during the trial itself, where patients are closely monitored, but comes when the drug is released on the market place. For example, in 2004 a US company recalled an arthritis drug, when it was found that after 18 months of use, the risk of heart attack and stroke increased.
People who support testing claim the risks to the individual are small compared with the benefits. Even if the individual has adverse outcomes and their condition worsens, that is valuable information for the drug company. While the drug companies usually pay for the hospital trials, government has set up medical committees to handle the issue.
32、What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. The purpose of medical trial. B. The groups of medical trial.
C. The procedure of medical trial. D. The result of medical trial.
33、Why does the author mention the example in the fourth paragraph?
A. To explain the risks of some drugs appear when they are sold.
B. To tell us a lot of patients die from the medical trials.
C. To show the risk of heart attack and stroke has increased.
D. To introduce the risks of the medical trials are not so great.
34、What docs the underlined word “adverse” in the last paragraph mean?
A. subjective B. effective C. negative D. impressive
35、What would the author most probably discuss next?
A. How the medical committees solve the problem.
B. How the government gathers the information.
C. How the medical committees pay for the hospital trials.
D. How the government prevents clinical trials.

Dear Mandy,
I'm not doing well in my lessons at school, especial in maths. My dad says I must try hard because he wants me go to university. He thinks I'm lazy, but it's not true. I work really hard, studied late into the night. I've tried to talk to my mother, but she always said I have to work as hard like my brother does. My brother doesn't study very hard, and he always gets excellent grades. It's not fair!
The only thing I like it is art. My teacher says I'm the best student she's had for year. When I told my dad, all he said was, “You mustn't waste your time on art. You must focus your mind in your lessons!” I'm feeling quite puzzling about what to do now. Would you please help me out?
Thanks a lot!
Yours sincerely，
Lisa

Labeled as a "destination blind box" on the site, tickets are purchased through a rather simple booking procedure, in which passengers provide their travel information, select a departure airport and then pay their 98 yuan.(这个促销活动已经成为中国社交媒体上的一个热门话题，因为一些人试图在即将到来的五一假期之前预订它们。在该网站上，机票被标记为“旅游盲盒”，乘客通过一个相当简单的预订程序购买机票，在这个程序中，乘客提供他们的旅行信息，选择一个出发机场，然后支付他们的98元）”和最后一段中“If they sell a large quantity of tickets, the company may still earn a profit even though the price is 98 yuan.(如果他们卖出大量的门票，即使票价是98元，公司仍然可以赚取利润”可知，文章主要介绍了中国在线旅游平台LY.COM推出了一项98元的国内机票促销活动，购买机票的乘客没有被告知航班的目的地，也没有被告知航班何时起飞。由此可知，机票促销与经济有关。由此推知，文章可能来自报纸的经济专栏。故选A。

33、答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段Doctors say that the risk is not so great during the trial itself，where patients are closely monitored，but comes when the drug is released on the market place.For example，in 2004 a US company recalled an arthritis drug，when it was found that after 18 months of use，the risk of heart attack and stroke increased. （医生们说，在试验期间，患者受到密切监测，风险并不大，但当药物投放市场时，风险就会出现。例如，2004年，一家美国公司召回了一种关节炎药物，因为它被发现在使用18个月后，心脏病发作和中风的风险增加了。）可知作者在第四段提到这个例子实在解释一些药物在出售时出现的风险。故选A。
34、答案：C
解析：词义猜测题。根据划线词上文People who support testing claim the risks to the individual are small compared with the benefits. （支持测试的人声称，与好处相比，测试对个人的风险很小。）可推测下文意思是"即使患者有不良后果，病情恶化，这对制药公司来说也是有价值的信息。"由此可猜测单词adverse意为"负面的"，C.negative负面的；B.effective有效的；A.subjective主观的；D.impressive印象深刻的。故选C。
35、答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段While the drug companies usually pay for the hospital trials，government has set up medical committees to handle the issue. （虽然通常由制药公司支付医院试验费用，但政府已经成立了医疗委员会来处理这一问题。）可推断下文最有可能讨论医疗委员会如何解决这个问题。故选A。

(但是，当我们读书时，我们不仅可以成为国王，住在宫殿里，而且，更妙的是，我们可以神驰群山，或畅游海滨，我们也可遍访世界上最美丽的地方，而无需劳累，也没有什么不方便，更无须花费分文)”形成转折关系。故选A项。
37、答案：B

②考查形容词。句意:中国烹饪中使用的天然材料和烹饪方法种类繁多,举世无双,这可能是中国餐馆和烹饪在海外普遍流行的原因。此处用形容词作定语修饰名词popularity,故填universal。

⑤考查动词时态及主谓一致。句意:来到中国的游客通常会感到惊讶,一桌八个人的典型晚餐包括冷热菜肴、汤和米饭。结合句意可知,此处在讲述客观事实,句子用一般现在时,主语为a typical dinner,谓语动词用三单形式,故填consists。

⑩考查过去分词。句意:虽然这一习俗对外国游客来说特别奇怪,但它显示了一个关键方面,在好朋友的陪伴下,美食和美酒构成了我们生活中最大的乐趣之一。此处为非谓语动词作定语,fine food and good drink与take之间是被动关系,故用过去分词作定语,故填taken。
58、答案：
Dear Mandy,
I’m not doing well in my lessons at school, in maths. My dad says I must try hard because he wants me go to university. He thinks I’m lazy, but it’s not true. I work really hard, often late into the night! I’ve tried to talk to my mother, but she always I have to work as hard my brother does. My brother doesn’t study very hard, he always gets excellent grades. It’s not fair! The only thing I like is art. My teacher says I’m the best student she’s had for . When I told my dad, all he said was, “You mustn’t waste your time art. You must focus your mind on your lessons!” I’m feeling quite as to what to do now. Would you please help me out?
Thanks a lot!
Yours,
Lisa
解析：1.考查副词的使用。 只能用副词修饰句子，而不能用形容词。句意：我在学校的功课不太好，尤其是数学。故答案为把第一句中的 especial 改为 especially。
2.考查非谓语动词。go 在句子做非谓语成分，应用非谓语动词的不定式，want sb. to do sth. 为固定搭配。句意：我爸爸说我必须努力，因为他想让我上大学。故答案为在第二句中的 me 后面加 to。
3.考查非谓语动词。study 与主语 I 为主谓关系，应用谓语动词的现在分词形式。句意：我学习非常努力，经常学习到深夜。故答案为把第四句的 study 改为 studying。
4.考查动词时态。根据 always 可知，句子的时态为一般现在时，且主语为 she，故谓语动词应使用第三人称单数。句意：我曾经尝试和我妈妈谈谈，但她总说我应该像我哥哥一样努力学习。故答案为把第五句的 said 改为 says。
5.考查固定搭配。as… as 为固定用法，意为像……一样。句意：我曾经尝试和我妈妈谈谈，但她总说我应该像我哥哥一样努力学习。故答案为把第五句的 like 改为 as。
6.考查连词的使用。根据句意可知，前后两个分句为转折关系，应用连词 but 连接。句意：我哥哥学习不努力，但他总是能取得优异的成绩。故答案为把第六句的 and 改为 but。
7.考查句子结构。分析句子成分可知，the only thing I like 是主语，is 是系动词，art 是表语，it 为多余成分。句意：我唯一喜欢的是美术。故答案为第八句中去掉 it 。
8.考查固定搭配和可数名词。for years 意为多年来，year 要加 s 表复数形式。句意：我的老师说我是几年来他教过的最好的学生。故答案为把第九句的 year 改为 years。
9.考查介词的使用。waste time on sth. 为固定搭配，意为在……上面浪费时间。句意：当我告诉我爸爸时，他只是说: "你不应该把时间浪费在美术上。你必须把注意力集中在功课上！”故答案为把第十句的 in 改为 on。
10.考查形容词做表语。当形容词做表语修饰人时，应用过去分词形式；修饰物时，应用现在分词形式。在此句中，puzzle 修饰的是人，故用过去分词形式。句意：我不知道现在该怎么办。故答案为把第十一句 puzzling 改为 puzzled。
