Derek and Shirley walked out of the airport building and into the bright sunshine. Looking up at the brilliant blue sky and then at the faraway mountains rising above the swaying palm trees, they couldn’t wait to start their holiday.
A taxi pulled up swiftly and silently. Derek dropped their suitcases into the boot and joined Shirley in the back seat. “Palm Trees Hotel, please,” Derek said excitedly. “Certainly, sir,” replied the driver, as he turned around with a flashing white smile. Derek and Shirley gave each other a puzzled look as the taxi eased smoothly into the traffic. “Excuse me, er, your face seems very familiar—in fact, you remind us of that famous film star, Rocky Overton... but of course, you can’t be.”
Derek and Shirley sat in silent disbelief as the driver explained that he was not a real person, but a robot made to look like a famous actor. “Rocky” explained that the taxi company had purchased the latest model of robot drivers since they were programmed to be safer and more reliable than human drivers. “So, here I am,” “Rocky” continued, “your first robot taxi driver!”
Derek and Shirley held each other’s hands more lightly. “Relax,” “Rocky” reassured them, “there is nothing for you to worry about. I can assure you that my driving skills are excellent. I’m equipped with perfect vision and superior reactions, and I know every street in the city. I am instantly updated with the latest traffic information so that I can avoid traffic jams and get you to your destination in the quickest and least stressful manner. Please sit back, relax and enjoy the journey.”
Derek and Shirley, feeling a little better, leaned back in their seats and closed their eyes. “And another thing,” “Rocky” added, “my line of robots represents the ultimate (最高典范) in computer technology. I am beautifully designed, made from only the best materials and subject to the strictest quality checks. Therefore, you are entirely safe with me. Nothing could possibly go wrong... could possibly go wrong, wrong… go wrong…”

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是Derek和Shirley去度假，走出机场乘坐一辆机器人司机的出租车前往目的地的经历。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Derek and Shirley gave each other a puzzled look as the taxi eased smoothly into the traffic. “Excuse me, er, your face seems very familiar—in fact, you remind us of that famous film star, Rocky Overton... but of course, you can’t be.”(当出租车平稳地驶入车流时，Derek 和 Shirley面面相觑。“不好意思，呃，你的脸看起来很眼熟——事实上，你让我们想起了那个著名的电影明星Rocky Overton……当然，你不可能。”)”可知，Derek 和Shirley觉得这名出租车司机很熟悉，很像电影明星Rocky Overton而感到很迷惑，由此可知，他们迷惑的原因是出租车司机看起来像著名的电影演员。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“I’m equipped with perfect vision and superior reactions, and I know every street in the city.(我拥有完美的视力和卓越的反应能力，而且我熟悉这座城市的每一条街道。)”可知，机器人司机Rocky说它有着完美的视力和出色的反应力。故选A项。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段中的“Derek and Shirley held each other’s hands more lightly. “Relax,”(德里克和雪莉更轻地握着彼此的手。“放松，”)”以及划线单词后的“there is nothing for you to worry about. I can assure you that my driving skills are excellent.(你们不必担心什么。我可以向你你们保证我的驾驶技术非常好。)”可知，当机器人司机见到Derek和Shirley感到紧张的时候，让他们放松，并说没什么可担忧的，并向他们两个保证自己的驾驶技术是最出色的，由此可推断，这是机器人司机在“安慰”Derek 和Shirley，所以该单词的意思是“安慰”符合语境。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Nothing could possibly go wrong... could possibly go wrong, wrong… go wrong…(不可能出什么差错……可能会出错，出错……出错……)”可知，机器人司机在说着话的时候出现了问题，由此可以推断，机器人司机并没有如它所说的那么的可靠。故选C项。
C
Cetaceans(鲸目动物) communicate through sound to find food and to interact socially. Their sounds vary between species and within communities. The long-finned pilot whales can mimic (模仿) artificial noise, but nobody had previously recorded them. A new study, however, found overlap in the cetacean sound book.
Pilot whales and orcas(虎鲸)，the two largest species of cetaceans, are often seen in the same environments and are similar sizes, and both live in social groups with strong union, says Charlotte Cure, a researcher at CEREMA Lab in France, who was not involved in the study. Orcas compete for food with long-finned pilot whales and are potentially their predators.
Evidence from orca stomachs shows they do occasionally eat pilot whales. But pilot whales can mob(成群田住) and chase them away, the only cetaceans seen defending themselves from the strong enemies in this way.
Mimicry could serve as additional defense; “One assumption is that if they use similar sounds, they may not be recognized as prey," Erbe says. Pilot whales eating orcas' food remains might go unnoticed if they use orca-like calls. “This is all underwater," she adds, “so these animals rely on sound for detecting their prey and predators.”Long-finned pilot whales have shown an ability to distinguish between orca calls with different meanings; Cure suggests that instead of tricking orcas, the callers could instead be presenting a new orca sound to other group members.
Additional work would confirm whether mimicry is actually occurring. Researchers could pair their listening data with direct observations of the animals' interactions in the wild or perhaps even play orca sounds and watch the whales' reactions.
But if a future experiment used predatory sounds, it would need to be done. very carefully.“A reaction to a predator can be very strong," Cure says.“In some protected areas, you are not allowed to do more than two predatory playbacks per year."
8. Which of the following is NOT shared by the pilot whales and orcas?
A. They communicate through sound.
B. They often live in the same environments.
C. They can defend themselves through mimicry.
D. They always live together with other group members.
9. What do we know from the fourth paragraph?
A. The pilot whales mimic the sounds to detect their prey.
B. The pilot whales only mimic one kind of the sounds of the orcas.
C. The pilot whales can pretend to be orcas to share the food remains.
D. The pilot whales can distinguish different meanings of orca calls to trick them.
10. How do the researchers confirm whether mimicry is actually occurring?
A. By observing the whales from the distance.
B. By mimicking the sounds in the experiment.
C. By analyzing the data from the cetacean sound book.
D. By listening or playing the sounds and watching the whales' reactions.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Pilot Whales: Copy Orca Calls B. How Orcas Mimic Pilot Whale Calls
C. How Pilot Whales Defend Themselves D. Orcas and Pilot Whales: Predators and Prey
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主题语境是人与自然，讲述长肢领航鲸拥有模仿虎鲸声音的能力。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段可知，pilot whales可以模仿声音，但并未提及orcas可以模仿声音。A选项根据第一句话“Cetaceans(鯨目动物) communicate through sound to find food and to interact socially.（鲸目动物通过声音交流来寻找食物和社交。）”可以看出来；B选项根据第二段中的“...are often seen in the same environments（经常在相同的环境中被看见）”可以看出来；D选项根据第二段中的“…live in social groups with strong union”(...他们都是群居动物)可以看出来。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Pilot whales eating orcas' food remains might go unnoticed if they use orca-like calls.”（如果领航鲸使用类似虎鲸的声音，那它们吃虎鲸的食物残渣便不会被发现）”可知，领航鲸可以假装是虎鲸来分享食物残渣。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。通过倒数第二段“Researchers could pair their listening data with direct observations of the animals' interactions in the wild or perhaps even play orca sounds and watch the whales' reactions.”（研究人员可以将他们听觉的数据和直接观察到的野生动物之间的互动进行匹配，甚至可以播放虎鲸的声音、观察长肢领航鲸的反应）可知，通过播放虎鲸的声音来观察领航鲸的反应。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“The long-finned pilot whales can mimic artificial noise, but nobody had previously recorded them. A new study, however, found overlap in the cetacean sound book.（长鳍领航鲸可以模仿人工噪音，但之前没有人对它们进行过记录。然而，一项新的研究发现，鲸类动物的声音书中有重叠部分。）”，可以得出本文是讲述长肢领航鲸拥有模仿虎鲸声音的能力。故选A。
D
Nearly 10 million people worldwide live with Parkinson’s disease. While Parkinson’s is incurable, some of its worst symptoms can be relieved and controlled using medications. A major problem of getting effective treatment at the right time is identifying the disease soon enough, before patients experience the symptoms brought on by irreversible(不可逆转的)neuron loss.
But scientists might have just the thing to change the situation. And it involves a nose. In a study published in the journal ACS Omega, researchers from China’s Zhejiang University created an “e-nose, ”a portable device that can detect body smells specific to Parkinson’s patients.
It may come as a surprise to learn Parkinson’s patients have their own smells. But after a retired nurse in Scotland made headlines in 2015 for a heightened sense of smell that led to her own husband’s Parkinson’s diagnosis, scientists have been trying hard to create a device that could smell the disease before physical symptoms start to show.
Over the years, scientists have found people with Parkinson’s tend to produce more sebum (皮脂)than the average person. This sebum mixes with other overproduced substances to produce certain, unique smells.
To track down these smells, the Zhejiang University researchers swabbed(用拭子擦拭)the upper backs of 31 Parkinson’s patients and 32 healthy volunteers. Using machine-learning software, they were able to identify three smell compounds that healthy volunteers lacked. The researchers then tested the e-nose on sebum taken from 12 Parkinson’s patients and 12 healthy people. The device was found to be about 71 percent accurate in distinguishing healthy sebum from Parkinson’s sebum.
These are encouraging findings, but before the e-nose is ready for clinical use, the team needs to test it on many more people to improve the accuracy of the models. They will also need to test whether factors like race affect the e-nose’s performance in any way. But for now, as the number of people living with Parkinson’s in the U. S. is expected to rise to 1.2 million by 2030, a nose might be the best option to detect this disease.
12. What makes it difficult for Parkinson’s patients to get effective treatment?
A. Its medications are in short supply.
B. It involves irreversible neuron loss.
C. Its early signs are not easy to notice.
D. It’s not a curable disease medically.
13. What did the Scottish nurse find?
A. Her husband’s body gave off a strange smell.
B. Her husband had a heightened sense of smell.
C. A smell caused her husband to suffer from a disease.
D. A smell could relieve her husband’s Parkinson’s symptoms.
14. What will the researchers do concerning their invention?
A. Put it into clinical use.
B. Conduct a broader test.
C. Create more lab models.
D. Expand its market outside the U. S.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. This e-nose can smell Parkinson’s
B. Parkinson’s patients produce more sebum
C. People living with Parkinson’s are on the rise
D. Researchers have found treatment for Parkinson’s
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是患有帕金森病的患者在获得有效的救治之前往往很难发现早期的症状，针对于这个问题研究人员研发出了一种可以检测出患者在身体症状出现之前的特有气味的便携式设备——“电子鼻”。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A major problem of getting effective treatment at the right time is identifying the disease soon enough, before patients experience the symptoms brought on by irreversible(不可逆转的)neuron loss.(在正确的时间获得有效治疗的一个主要问题是，在患者经历不可逆的神经元损失带来的症状之前，尽快确定疾病。)”可知只有尽快确定疾病，帕金森患者才能在正确的时间里得到有效的救治，所以可以推断出早期症状的难以发现使帕金森患者得到有效救治变得困难。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“But after a retired nurse in Scotland made headlines in 2015 for a heightened sense of smell that led to her own husband’s Parkinson’s diagnosis(但2015年，苏格兰一名退休护士因为她敏锐的嗅觉帮助其丈夫被诊断出帕金森病而上了头条。)”可知这名苏格兰退休护士发现她丈夫的身体发出一种特殊的气味。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“These are encouraging findings, but before the e-nose is ready for clinical use, the team needs to test it on many more people to improve the accuracy of the models. They will also need to test whether factors like race affect the e-nose’s performance in any way.(这些都是令人鼓舞的发现，但在电子鼻投入临床使用之前，研究小组还需要在更多的人身上进行测试，以提高模型的准确性。他们还需要测试种族等因素是否会以任何方式影响电子鼻的性能。)”可知为了提高模型的准确性，在电子鼻投入临床使用之前，研究小组还需要进行更广泛的测试。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段主要讲的是电子鼻出现的背景——帕金森病人在得到正确救治之前很难发现其症状，第二、三、四和五段主要围绕着电子鼻的研发，测试及功效展开，最后一段“These are encouraging findings, but before the e-nose is ready for clinical use, the team needs to test it on many more people to improve the accuracy of the models. They will also need to test whether factors like race affect the e-nose’s performance in any way. But for now, as the number of people living with Parkinson’s in the U. S. is expected to rise to 1. 2 million by 2030, a nose might be the best option to detect this disease.(这些都是令人鼓舞的发现，但在电子鼻投入临床使用之前，研究小组还需要在更多的人身上进行测试，以提高模型的准确性。他们还需要测试种族等因素是否会以任何方式影响电子鼻的性能。但目前，美国帕金森患者的数量预计将上升到120万。到2030年，电子鼻可能是检测这种疾病的最佳选择。)”向我们展示了电子鼻的使用前景，对全文进行总结。纵观全文，文章都是在围绕着一种能够测出帕金森患者身上特有气味的电子鼻展开，所以A项This e-nose can smell Parkinson’s作为文章的标题最为合适。故选A项。

【答案】I’ve always wanted to open a dessert parlor since I was little, because I have a sweet tooth, there’s nothing in the world I’d like more than to eat sweets every day. So you see, to run a small business like that would be a dream come true for me.
If it’s possible, I would like to open my shop as soon as I graduate from college, and I prefer to do it in a foreign country, because I want to introduce traditional Chinese desserts to foreign friends. We know that Chinese cuisine is popular all around the globe, but not many people know about Chinese pastry and stuff, so I guess it would be a good opportunity for foreigners to get to know more about our desserts. And no offence, but in my personal opinion, they are more palatable than those western deserts.
And the decoration in my parlor must be full of Chinese flavor as well. The main color of the room would be Chinese red, which brings passion.

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。
When Jackie came to his first piano lesson in his mother’s car, he was already 11 years old. I preferred students begin at an earlier age, but owing to his insistence(坚持), I took him as a student. As much as Jackie tried, he lacked the sense of tone and basic rhythm (节奏). At the end of each lesson, he’d say, “My mom’s going to hear me play someday.” But it seemed hopeless. I only knew his mother from a distance as she waited in her aged car, but never stepped in.
Then one day Jackie stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but assumed, because of his lack of ability, that he had decided to quit. I also was glad that he stopped coming — he was a bad advertisement for my teaching!
Several weeks later I mailed to the students’ homes a letter on the upcoming concert. Surprisingly, Jackie received and asked me if he could be in the concert. I told him that the concert was not for dropouts, but for current pupils. He said that his mom had been sick and unable to take him to piano lessons but he was still practicing. I didn’t know what led me to agree eventually.
The night for the concert came. The high school gymnastics was packed with parents and friends. I put up Jackie last in the program. I thought that any damage he would do would come at the end of the program and the negative effect would reduce to the minimum (最小值).
The concert went off smoothly. Then Jackie came up on stage. His clothes were wrinkled (皱巴巴的) and his hair looked messy (凌乱的). “Why didn’t his mother at least make him comb his hair for this special night?” I thought.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答
Unexpectedly, Jackie chose Mozart’s Concerto 21 in C Major.________
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I held Jackie firmly in great joy, asking “How did you do it?”________
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Unexpectedly, Jackie chose Mozart’s Concerto 21 in C Major. Jackie pulled out the piano bench and began his performance. In fact, I was not fully prepared for what I heard next. His fingers were dancing on keys, which made me extremely shocked. Never had I heard Mozart played so well by people of his age. After six and a half minutes, he ended up very well. Everyone at present was wild with great excitement and was on their feet, breaking into loud applause. After the performance, he stepped off the stage.
I held Jackie firmly in great joy, asking “How did you do it?” “Well…remember I told you my mom was sick?” He explained, with tears rolling in her eyes, “In the past few months, she has always accompanied and encouraged me. Actually she had cancer, with little chance to survive. Today, I didn’t let her down.” After hearing his word, tears were welling up in my eyes. And at that moment, I realized it was he that taught me the true meaning of perseverance and love.

Derek and Shirley walked out of the airport building and into the bright sunshine. Looking up at the brilliant blue sky and then at the faraway mountains rising above the swaying palm trees, they couldn’t wait to start their holiday.
A taxi pulled up swiftly and silently. Derek dropped their suitcases into the boot and joined Shirley in the back seat. “Palm Trees Hotel, please,” Derek said excitedly. “Certainly, sir,” replied the driver, as he turned around with a flashing white smile. Derek and Shirley gave each other a puzzled look as the taxi eased smoothly into the traffic. “Excuse me, er, your face seems very familiar—in fact, you remind us of that famous film star, Rocky Overton... but of course, you can’t be.”
Derek and Shirley sat in silent disbelief as the driver explained that he was not a real person, but a robot made to look like a famous actor. “Rocky” explained that the taxi company had purchased the latest model of robot drivers since they were programmed to be safer and more reliable than human drivers. “So, here I am,” “Rocky” continued, “your first robot taxi driver!”
Derek and Shirley held each other’s hands more lightly. “Relax,” “Rocky” reassured them, “there is nothing for you to worry about. I can assure you that my driving skills are excellent. I’m equipped with perfect vision and superior reactions, and I know every street in the city. I am instantly updated with the latest traffic information so that I can avoid traffic jams and get you to your destination in the quickest and least stressful manner. Please sit back, relax and enjoy the journey.”
Derek and Shirley, feeling a little better, leaned back in their seats and closed their eyes. “And another thing,” “Rocky” added, “my line of robots represents the ultimate (最高典范) in computer technology. I am beautifully designed, made from only the best materials and subject to the strictest quality checks. Therefore, you are entirely safe with me. Nothing could possibly go wrong... could possibly go wrong, wrong… go wrong…”

Cetaceans(鲸目动物) communicate through sound to find food and to interact socially. Their sounds vary between species and within communities. The long-finned pilot whales can mimic (模仿) artificial noise, but nobody had previously recorded them. A new study, however, found overlap in the cetacean sound book.
Pilot whales and orcas(虎鲸)，the two largest species of cetaceans, are often seen in the same environments and are similar sizes, and both live in social groups with strong union, says Charlotte Cure, a researcher at CEREMA Lab in France, who was not involved in the study. Orcas compete for food with long-finned pilot whales and are potentially their predators.
Evidence from orca stomachs shows they do occasionally eat pilot whales. But pilot whales can mob(成群田住) and chase them away, the only cetaceans seen defending themselves from the strong enemies in this way.
Mimicry could serve as additional defense; “One assumption is that if they use similar sounds, they may not be recognized as prey," Erbe says. Pilot whales eating orcas' food remains might go unnoticed if they use orca-like calls. “This is all underwater," she adds, “so these animals rely on sound for detecting their prey and predators.”Long-finned pilot whales have shown an ability to distinguish between orca calls with different meanings; Cure suggests that instead of tricking orcas, the callers could instead be presenting a new orca sound to other group members.
Additional work would confirm whether mimicry is actually occurring. Researchers could pair their listening data with direct observations of the animals' interactions in the wild or perhaps even play orca sounds and watch the whales' reactions.
But if a future experiment used predatory sounds, it would need to be done. very carefully.“A reaction to a predator can be very strong," Cure says.“In some protected areas, you are not allowed to do more than two predatory playbacks per year."
8. Which of the following is NOT shared by the pilot whales and orcas?
A. They communicate through sound.
B. They often live in the same environments.
C. They can defend themselves through mimicry.
D. They always live together with other group members.
9. What do we know from the fourth paragraph?
A. The pilot whales mimic the sounds to detect their prey.
B. The pilot whales only mimic one kind of the sounds of the orcas.
C. The pilot whales can pretend to be orcas to share the food remains.
D. The pilot whales can distinguish different meanings of orca calls to trick them.
10. How do the researchers confirm whether mimicry is actually occurring?
A. By observing the whales from the distance.
B. By mimicking the sounds in the experiment.
C. By analyzing the data from the cetacean sound book.
D. By listening or playing the sounds and watching the whales' reactions.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Pilot Whales: Copy Orca Calls B. How Orcas Mimic Pilot Whale Calls
C. How Pilot Whales Defend Themselves D. Orcas and Pilot Whales: Predators and Prey
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主题语境是人与自然，讲述长肢领航鲸拥有模仿虎鲸声音的能力。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段可知，pilot whales可以模仿声音，但并未提及orcas可以模仿声音。A选项根据第一句话“Cetaceans(鯨目动物) communicate through sound to find food and to interact socially.（鲸目动物通过声音交流来寻找食物和社交。）”可以看出来；B选项根据第二段中的“...are often seen in the same environments（经常在相同的环境中被看见）”可以看出来；D选项根据第二段中的“…live in social groups with strong union”(...他们都是群居动物)可以看出来。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Pilot whales eating orcas' food remains might go unnoticed if they use orca-like calls.”（如果领航鲸使用类似虎鲸的声音，那它们吃虎鲸的食物残渣便不会被发现）”可知，领航鲸可以假装是虎鲸来分享食物残渣。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。通过倒数第二段“Researchers could pair their listening data with direct observations of the animals' interactions in the wild or perhaps even play orca sounds and watch the whales' reactions.”（研究人员可以将他们听觉的数据和直接观察到的野生动物之间的互动进行匹配，甚至可以播放虎鲸的声音、观察长肢领航鲸的反应）可知，通过播放虎鲸的声音来观察领航鲸的反应。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“The long-finned pilot whales can mimic artificial noise, but nobody had previously recorded them. A new study, however, found overlap in the cetacean sound book.（长鳍领航鲸可以模仿人工噪音，但之前没有人对它们进行过记录。然而，一项新的研究发现，鲸类动物的声音书中有重叠部分。）”，可以得出本文是讲述长肢领航鲸拥有模仿虎鲸声音的能力。故选A。
D
Nearly 10 million people worldwide live with Parkinson’s disease. While Parkinson’s is incurable, some of its worst symptoms can be relieved and controlled using medications. A major problem of getting effective treatment at the right time is identifying the disease soon enough, before patients experience the symptoms brought on by irreversible(不可逆转的)neuron loss.
But scientists might have just the thing to change the situation. And it involves a nose. In a study published in the journal ACS Omega, researchers from China’s Zhejiang University created an “e-nose, ”a portable device that can detect body smells specific to Parkinson’s patients.
It may come as a surprise to learn Parkinson’s patients have their own smells. But after a retired nurse in Scotland made headlines in 2015 for a heightened sense of smell that led to her own husband’s Parkinson’s diagnosis, scientists have been trying hard to create a device that could smell the disease before physical symptoms start to show.
Over the years, scientists have found people with Parkinson’s tend to produce more sebum (皮脂)than the average person. This sebum mixes with other overproduced substances to produce certain, unique smells.
To track down these smells, the Zhejiang University researchers swabbed(用拭子擦拭)the upper backs of 31 Parkinson’s patients and 32 healthy volunteers. Using machine-learning software, they were able to identify three smell compounds that healthy volunteers lacked. The researchers then tested the e-nose on sebum taken from 12 Parkinson’s patients and 12 healthy people. The device was found to be about 71 percent accurate in distinguishing healthy sebum from Parkinson’s sebum.
These are encouraging findings, but before the e-nose is ready for clinical use, the team needs to test it on many more people to improve the accuracy of the models. They will also need to test whether factors like race affect the e-nose’s performance in any way. But for now, as the number of people living with Parkinson’s in the U. S. is expected to rise to 1.2 million by 2030, a nose might be the best option to detect this disease.
12. What makes it difficult for Parkinson’s patients to get effective treatment?
A. Its medications are in short supply.
B. It involves irreversible neuron loss.
C. Its early signs are not easy to notice.
D. It’s not a curable disease medically.
13. What did the Scottish nurse find?
A. Her husband’s body gave off a strange smell.
B. Her husband had a heightened sense of smell.
C. A smell caused her husband to suffer from a disease.
D. A smell could relieve her husband’s Parkinson’s symptoms.
14. What will the researchers do concerning their invention?
A. Put it into clinical use.
B. Conduct a broader test.
C. Create more lab models.
D. Expand its market outside the U. S.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. This e-nose can smell Parkinson’s
B. Parkinson’s patients produce more sebum
C. People living with Parkinson’s are on the rise
D. Researchers have found treatment for Parkinson’s
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是患有帕金森病的患者在获得有效的救治之前往往很难发现早期的症状，针对于这个问题研究人员研发出了一种可以检测出患者在身体症状出现之前的特有气味的便携式设备——“电子鼻”。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A major problem of getting effective treatment at the right time is identifying the disease soon enough, before patients experience the symptoms brought on by irreversible(不可逆转的)neuron loss.(在正确的时间获得有效治疗的一个主要问题是，在患者经历不可逆的神经元损失带来的症状之前，尽快确定疾病。)”可知只有尽快确定疾病，帕金森患者才能在正确的时间里得到有效的救治，所以可以推断出早期症状的难以发现使帕金森患者得到有效救治变得困难。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“But after a retired nurse in Scotland made headlines in 2015 for a heightened sense of smell that led to her own husband’s Parkinson’s diagnosis(但2015年，苏格兰一名退休护士因为她敏锐的嗅觉帮助其丈夫被诊断出帕金森病而上了头条。)”可知这名苏格兰退休护士发现她丈夫的身体发出一种特殊的气味。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“These are encouraging findings, but before the e-nose is ready for clinical use, the team needs to test it on many more people to improve the accuracy of the models. They will also need to test whether factors like race affect the e-nose’s performance in any way.(这些都是令人鼓舞的发现，但在电子鼻投入临床使用之前，研究小组还需要在更多的人身上进行测试，以提高模型的准确性。他们还需要测试种族等因素是否会以任何方式影响电子鼻的性能。)”可知为了提高模型的准确性，在电子鼻投入临床使用之前，研究小组还需要进行更广泛的测试。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段主要讲的是电子鼻出现的背景——帕金森病人在得到正确救治之前很难发现其症状，第二、三、四和五段主要围绕着电子鼻的研发，测试及功效展开，最后一段“These are encouraging findings, but before the e-nose is ready for clinical use, the team needs to test it on many more people to improve the accuracy of the models. They will also need to test whether factors like race affect the e-nose’s performance in any way. But for now, as the number of people living with Parkinson’s in the U. S. is expected to rise to 1. 2 million by 2030, a nose might be the best option to detect this disease.(这些都是令人鼓舞的发现，但在电子鼻投入临床使用之前，研究小组还需要在更多的人身上进行测试，以提高模型的准确性。他们还需要测试种族等因素是否会以任何方式影响电子鼻的性能。但目前，美国帕金森患者的数量预计将上升到120万。到2030年，电子鼻可能是检测这种疾病的最佳选择。)”向我们展示了电子鼻的使用前景，对全文进行总结。纵观全文，文章都是在围绕着一种能够测出帕金森患者身上特有气味的电子鼻展开，所以A项This e-nose can smell Parkinson’s作为文章的标题最为合适。故选A项。

【分析】本文为介绍说明文。文章就“如何增强你的毅力”为读者提供了一些建议和方法。
【16题详解】
根据前文的So, if it acts like a muscle, can it also be strengthened? The answer is YES.可知，D项“如果加以训练，毅力也可以被加强”承接上文。故选D。
【17题详解】
根据下文的your brain will be able to focus better与E选项中make your brain focus对应，本段介绍沉思对锻炼毅力所起的作用。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据此处前后内容都与时间有关，介绍每天使用相反的手的时间，G选项中的more than an hour是关键词组。故选G。
【19题详解】

【20题详解】
最后一段中作者建议人们要循序渐进地去锻炼毅力，A选项内容符合此处语境。故选A。
【名师点睛】
在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子，正确理解了这些句子后，根据意思的连贯性、逻辑性或者线索词从选项中选取正确答案。在读懂意思的基础上，再利用线索特征词等进一步确认答案。如本题中的第1小题，根据空前句子So, if it acts like a muscle, can it also be strengthened? The answer is YES. （那么，如果它像肌肉一样，它也能被加强吗？答案是肯定的）可知，此处应是对毅力也可以加强的描述，再对比选项，D选项中的willpower can be strengthened（毅力能被加强）与此处语境相符，由此可确定正确答案。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了气候变化使海平面上升，对海岸附近的种植业产生了影响，但荷兰的一位农民利用海水和淡水的混合物种出了美味的蔬菜。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这增加了沿海农场使用的淡水含盐量。分析句子结构可知，已有谓语动词has increased，空处需填非谓语动词作定语，water和use之间为逻辑动宾关系，需填过去分词形式。故填used。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：因此，农民们逐渐无法使用靠海的田地。as a result为固定短语，意为“因此，结果”。故填a。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意同上。空处修饰动词短语be unable to，需用副词作状语。故填gradually。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意：然而，荷兰农民Marc Van Rijsselberg现在正在使用海水和淡水的混合物来种植健康美味的蔬菜。不定冠词a修饰名词，空处需填名词mixture，a mixture of为固定短语，意为“……的混合物”。故填mixture。

【43题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：他说，这些蔬菜比在淡水中种植的蔬菜要小。said后面为省略了that的宾语从句，从句缺少谓语，根据said可知，从句使用一般过去时，主语为the vegetables，谓语动词使用复数形式。故填were。
【44题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：但他说，它们也含有更多的糖和盐，所以味道要好得多。tasted为系动词，后面接形容词作表语，much修饰形容词比较级。故填better。

【答案】I’ve always wanted to open a dessert parlor since I was little, because I have a sweet tooth, there’s nothing in the world I’d like more than to eat sweets every day. So you see, to run a small business like that would be a dream come true for me.
If it’s possible, I would like to open my shop as soon as I graduate from college, and I prefer to do it in a foreign country, because I want to introduce traditional Chinese desserts to foreign friends. We know that Chinese cuisine is popular all around the globe, but not many people know about Chinese pastry and stuff, so I guess it would be a good opportunity for foreigners to get to know more about our desserts. And no offence, but in my personal opinion, they are more palatable than those western deserts.
And the decoration in my parlor must be full of Chinese flavor as well. The main color of the room would be Chinese red, which brings passion.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
When Jackie came to his first piano lesson in his mother’s car, he was already 11 years old. I preferred students begin at an earlier age, but owing to his insistence(坚持), I took him as a student. As much as Jackie tried, he lacked the sense of tone and basic rhythm (节奏). At the end of each lesson, he’d say, “My mom’s going to hear me play someday.” But it seemed hopeless. I only knew his mother from a distance as she waited in her aged car, but never stepped in.
Then one day Jackie stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but assumed, because of his lack of ability, that he had decided to quit. I also was glad that he stopped coming — he was a bad advertisement for my teaching!
Several weeks later I mailed to the students’ homes a letter on the upcoming concert. Surprisingly, Jackie received and asked me if he could be in the concert. I told him that the concert was not for dropouts, but for current pupils. He said that his mom had been sick and unable to take him to piano lessons but he was still practicing. I didn’t know what led me to agree eventually.
The night for the concert came. The high school gymnastics was packed with parents and friends. I put up Jackie last in the program. I thought that any damage he would do would come at the end of the program and the negative effect would reduce to the minimum (最小值).
The concert went off smoothly. Then Jackie came up on stage. His clothes were wrinkled (皱巴巴的) and his hair looked messy (凌乱的). “Why didn’t his mother at least make him comb his hair for this special night?” I thought.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答
Unexpectedly, Jackie chose Mozart’s Concerto 21 in C Major.________
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I held Jackie firmly in great joy, asking “How did you do it?”________
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Unexpectedly, Jackie chose Mozart’s Concerto 21 in C Major. Jackie pulled out the piano bench and began his performance. In fact, I was not fully prepared for what I heard next. His fingers were dancing on keys, which made me extremely shocked. Never had I heard Mozart played so well by people of his age. After six and a half minutes, he ended up very well. Everyone at present was wild with great excitement and was on their feet, breaking into loud applause. After the performance, he stepped off the stage.
I held Jackie firmly in great joy, asking “How did you do it?” “Well…remember I told you my mom was sick?” He explained, with tears rolling in her eyes, “In the past few months, she has always accompanied and encouraged me. Actually she had cancer, with little chance to survive. Today, I didn’t let her down.” After hearing his word, tears were welling up in my eyes. And at that moment, I realized it was he that taught me the true meaning of perseverance and love.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者接收了一个来学钢琴的学生Jackie，虽然Jackie很努力，但是一直缺乏乐感，每次下课后他总是说：“我妈妈总有一天会听到我演奏的”。但是他一直没有进展。有一天，Jackie没有来上课，作者以为他放弃了，但是几周之后，当作者要举办音乐会时，Jackie来了，并恳求作者答应让他上台表演。作者最终答应了。音乐会那晚，作者看到Jackie后很担心他把自己的音乐会搞砸了。
【详解】1.段落续写：

②由第二段首句内容“我开心地紧紧抓住Jackie，并问他：你是怎么做到的？”可知，第二段可描写Jackie讲述自己能做到的原因以及作者的感悟。
2.续写线索：惊讶——担心——开心——问原因——解释——感悟
3.词汇激活

①演奏：dancing on keys / played so well / marvelled at his excellent piano playing
②.眼含热泪：tears rolling in his eyes / tears welling up
