Imagine someone who has spent the majority of their life sitting with a sign on the side of the road and that very person giving someone their last 20 dollars. That’s exactly what Marine Corps veteran (退伍军人) Johnny Bobbitt, 34, did in October in Philadelphia.
Bobbitt served in the U.S. Marine Corps and worked as a paramedic (医务辅助人员) in Vance County, N. C. before he became homeless. Nobody knew how he got to where he was because he was discreet about that.
One night in October, Bobbitt was sitting roadside with a sign in Philadelphia as usual, when Kate McClure of Florence Township, N. J. was driving home down Interstate 95 and ran out of gas. Scared and nervous, she got out of the car to head to the nearest gas station. As McClure was heading to the nearest gas station, she ran into Bobbitt and he told her to get back in the vehicle and lock the door. Minutes later, he appeared with a red gas can. He’d used his last $20 to buy her gas.
After that unexpected meeting, McClure and her boyfriend, Mark D’Amico, who both live in New Jersey, visited Bobbitt several times to deliver gift cards, cash, snacks and toiletries. They then decided to create a fund raising page so he wouldn’t have to spend the holidays sleeping on the street.
McClure started the GoFundMe page on November 10. With the page, the couple hoped to raise $10,000, enough money for his rent, a reliable vehicle and up to six months’ expenses. Bobbitt’s story ran in a local paper. By November 15，more than 10,000 local people had made donations through the GoFundMe page and more than $300,000 had been raised.
On Thanksgiving, Bobbitt was resting in a hotel, his feet up on the bed, drawing up a grand plan for his new life, thanks to several thousand dollars raised to repay him for a good deed.
24. What does the underlined word “discreet” in paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Doubtful. B. Cautious.
C. Guilty. D. Optimistic.
25. McClure met Bobbitt when she .
A. couldn’t find a gas station B. got to the way home
C. couldn’t unlock her car D. was in search of gas
26. It can be known from the text that .
A. Bobbitt’s story obtained wide attention
B. Bobbitt became world-famous overnight
C. the GoFundMe page collected over $400,000 for Bobbitt
D. the GoFundMe page was started to help people like Bobbitt
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Homeless Veteran Paid Kindness Forward
B. A Homeless Veteran Had a Generous Heart
C. A Homeless Veteran’s Kindness Paid Off
D. A Small Kindness Made a Big Difference
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. C

The term“smiling depression”—appearing happy to others while actually suffering depressive symptoms—has become increasingly popular. In fact, many people who experience a low mood and a loss of pleasure in activities manage to hide their condition in this way. And these people might be particularly easy to suicide.
While smiling depression is not a technical term that psychologists use，it is certain to be depressed and manage to successfully mask the symptoms. The closest technical term for this condition is “atypical depression”. It can be very hard to spot people suffering depression because they may seem like they don’t have a reason to be sad — they have a job, an apartment and maybe even children or a partner. They smile when you greet them and can carry pleasant conversations. In short, they often put on a mask to the outside world while leading seemingly normal and active lives. Inside, however, they often feel hopeless and down, sometimes even having thoughts about ending it all.
People with smiling depression put on a happy face to the outside world, but they can experience a lift in their mood as a result of positive occurrences in their lives. Other symptoms of this condition include overeating, feeling a sense of heaviness in the arms and legs and being easily hurt by criticism or rejection. They are also more likely to feel depressed in the evening and feel the need to sleep longer than usual. With other forms of depression, however, your mood might be worse in the morning and you might feel the need for less sleep than you are normally used to.
So how can they break this circle? A starting point needs to be known that this condition actually exists and that it’s serious. Only when we stop ignoring our problems because we think they’re not serious enough can we start making an actual difference. Then we can find purpose by taking the attention away from ourselves and placing it onto something else. Feeling that our lives matter is finally what gives us purpose and meaning — and this can make a significant difference for our mental health and well-being.
28. What do we know about people suffering smiling depression?
A. They are wearing masks all day. B. They are difficult to get along with.
C. They lead an abnormal life actually. D. Most of them commit suicide.
29. What does the underlined word “atypical” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. representative B. common C. hidden D. formal
30. Compared with smiling depression, people suffering other depressions .
A. may feel sleepless B. feel more depressed in the evening
C. are tired of heaviness in the arms D. may eat more food
31. What can we do to overcome smiling depression?
A. Never talk about smiling depression and ignore its existence.
B. Admit the condition and pay attention to ourselves.
C. Value the importance of our life and enjoy it.
D. Find out the problem and place it onto somebody else.
【答案】28. C 29. C 30. A 31. C
【解析】

Researchers in Australia have discovered an effective new method to capture the atmospheric carbon dioxide that is damaging our planet and transform it into something solid, making it much easier to store.
Carbon capture isn’t new, but previous methods call for the gas to be compressed into liquid and then injected underground. Widespread usage of that technology has been locked by economic and environmental concerns due to possible leaks. Instead, in a study published in Nature Communications, the group details their sustainable and cost-effective plan for transforming CO2 into coal.
This new process involves a liquid metal catalyst( 催化剂 )that is efficient in conducting electricity. CO2 gas is dissolved in a container with some liquid. Once electricity charge is introduced, the CO2 begins to turn into solid pieces of carbon, which can be collected and stored.
What makes this particularly unique is that the entire process can occur at room temperature. Previous experiments have only shown a gas to solid conversion at extremely high temperature, which made it impossible on a large scale. Now, the researchers are hoping that their work will be used to create even further when it comes to carbon storage.
In an interesting side benefit, the solid carbon also works as an electrode( 焊 条 ), which opens up a world of possibilities. “A side benefit of the process is that the carbon can hold electrical charge, becoming a super battery, so it could potentially be used as a part in future vehicles,” explains Dr. Dorna Estrafilzadeh, a researcher. “The process also produces fuel as a by-product, which could also have industrial applications.”
32. What can we know about the previous carbon capture methods?
A. People have to inject liquid to the gas.
B The previous methods can be done easily.
C. The previous methods are not very popular.
D. People have widely accepted previous methods.
33. What is the special part of the new method?
A. It needs electricity to make the process efficient.
B. It can be done in any kind of container.
C. It doesn’t need extreme temperature.
D. It can produce much solid carbon.
34. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The method will make fossil oil disappear.
B. The method will influence the future industry.
C. The method will make developed countries more powerful.
D. The method will be used to make new vehicles.
35. What is the best title for the passage?
A. How to change carbon into CO2.
B. A new carbon capture technology.
C. A new technology to get useful carbon.
D. Australia makes the world cleaner than before.
【答案】32. C 33. C 34. B 35. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新的碳捕获技术的原理，优点和对未来工业的影响。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段的Widespread usage of that technology has been locked by economic and environmental concerns due to possible leaks.可知之前技术的广泛应用受到了经济和环境方面的限制。C. The previous methods are not very popular.（以前的技术没有广泛普及）符合以上说法，故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段的What makes this particularly unique is that the entire process can occur at room temperature.可知新技术独特的地方是整个过程可以在室温条件下进行。C. It doesn’t need extreme temperature.（它不需要极高的温度）符合以上说法，故选C现。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的内容，尤其是which opens up a world of possibilities； it could potentially be used as a part in future vehicles和 which could also have industrial applications可知这种技术的产物开辟了很多新的可能，可以被变成超级电池为未来车辆供能，过程中的副产品可以作为燃料应用到工业中，由此推测该技术会对未来的工业产生巨大影响。B. The method will influence the future industry.（这种方法将会影响未来的工业）符合以上说法，故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。本文是说明文，其主旨一般在首段或者尾段。根据文章第一段Researchers in Australia have discovered an effective new method to capture the atmospheric carbon dioxide 和下文讲述的内容可知，本文主要介绍了一种新的碳捕获方法的原理和优点及其影响。B. A new carbon capture technology. （一种新的碳捕获技术）可以作为本文标题，故选B项。

I like travelling and my dream of visiting Beijing, the capital city of our country, come true during the National Day holidays this year. My mother booked an one-day tour for me. On the morning of October 1st I went to Tian’anmen Square with one of my classmates , there we watched the flag-raising ceremony. As I watched the flag rising slowly, I sang the national anthem, feeling extreme proud. Several hours later, a grand military parade was held mark the People's Republic of China's 70th founding anniversary. In the afternoon we decided to go to other famous tourist attraction, like the Great Wall. When we reached the destination, it was crowded with tourists. I was glad for which those volunteers had done for little kids and elderly people . Standing on the Great wall, we couldn’t help admire the splendid scenery. This travelling, with doubt, meant a lot of to me.
【答案】come→came
an→a
there→where
extreme→extremely
held后面加上to
attraction→attractions
which→what
admire→admiring
with→without
删除lot后的of
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者今年国庆节去天安门观看升旗仪式和阅兵式以及参观一些景点的经过和感想。
【详解】1. 考查时态。结合上下文可知作者梦想“实现”动作发生在过去，故用一般过去时，故将come改为came。
2. 考查冠词。结合句意此处应译为“一个为期一天的旅行”，故应用不定冠词表示泛指，又one是辅音音素开头，应用a，故将an改为a。
3. 考查定语从句。分析句子可知此处是非限制性定语从句，先行词Tian’anmen Square在从句中充当地点状语，故应用关系副词where，故将there改为where。
4. 考查副词。此处应用副词修饰形容词proud，故将extreme改为extremely。
5. 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知此处应用非谓语动词，再结合句意“举行阅兵式来庆祝中华人民共和国成立70周年”可知此处表目的，应用不定式，故在held后加to。
6. 考查名词的数。根据other（其他的）判断此处应用名词复数形式，故将attraction改为attractions。
7. 考查宾语从句连接词。分析句子可知for后是宾语从句，从句缺少宾语，故应用连接代词what，故将which改为what。
8. 考查固定短语。此处考查短语can’t help doing sth情不自禁做某事，故将admire改为admiring。
9. 考查介词。句意：毫无疑问这次旅行对我意义重大。结合句意可知此处应译为“毫无疑问”，“没有”是without，故将with改为without。
10. 考查介词。修饰动词meant应用a lot(非常)，故删除lot后的of。
【点睛】第10小题考查a lot和a lot of的区别
a lot of意为很多，修饰名词
例如：I have a lot of friends.我有很多朋友。
a lot意为非常，修饰修饰动词、感叹词、介词短语、形容词或副词的比较级
例如：he helped me a lot。他帮了我很多。
He feels a lot better。他感觉好多了。
本题修饰动词meant故用a lot。

Imagine someone who has spent the majority of their life sitting with a sign on the side of the road and that very person giving someone their last 20 dollars. That’s exactly what Marine Corps veteran (退伍军人) Johnny Bobbitt, 34, did in October in Philadelphia.
Bobbitt served in the U.S. Marine Corps and worked as a paramedic (医务辅助人员) in Vance County, N. C. before he became homeless. Nobody knew how he got to where he was because he was discreet about that.
One night in October, Bobbitt was sitting roadside with a sign in Philadelphia as usual, when Kate McClure of Florence Township, N. J. was driving home down Interstate 95 and ran out of gas. Scared and nervous, she got out of the car to head to the nearest gas station. As McClure was heading to the nearest gas station, she ran into Bobbitt and he told her to get back in the vehicle and lock the door. Minutes later, he appeared with a red gas can. He’d used his last $20 to buy her gas.
After that unexpected meeting, McClure and her boyfriend, Mark D’Amico, who both live in New Jersey, visited Bobbitt several times to deliver gift cards, cash, snacks and toiletries. They then decided to create a fund raising page so he wouldn’t have to spend the holidays sleeping on the street.
McClure started the GoFundMe page on November 10. With the page, the couple hoped to raise $10,000, enough money for his rent, a reliable vehicle and up to six months’ expenses. Bobbitt’s story ran in a local paper. By November 15，more than 10,000 local people had made donations through the GoFundMe page and more than $300,000 had been raised.
On Thanksgiving, Bobbitt was resting in a hotel, his feet up on the bed, drawing up a grand plan for his new life, thanks to several thousand dollars raised to repay him for a good deed.
24. What does the underlined word “discreet” in paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Doubtful. B. Cautious.
C. Guilty. D. Optimistic.
25. McClure met Bobbitt when she .
A. couldn’t find a gas station B. got to the way home
C. couldn’t unlock her car D. was in search of gas
26. It can be known from the text that .
A. Bobbitt’s story obtained wide attention
B. Bobbitt became world-famous overnight
C. the GoFundMe page collected over $400,000 for Bobbitt
D. the GoFundMe page was started to help people like Bobbitt
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Homeless Veteran Paid Kindness Forward
B. A Homeless Veteran Had a Generous Heart
C. A Homeless Veteran’s Kindness Paid Off
D. A Small Kindness Made a Big Difference
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. C

The term“smiling depression”—appearing happy to others while actually suffering depressive symptoms—has become increasingly popular. In fact, many people who experience a low mood and a loss of pleasure in activities manage to hide their condition in this way. And these people might be particularly easy to suicide.
While smiling depression is not a technical term that psychologists use，it is certain to be depressed and manage to successfully mask the symptoms. The closest technical term for this condition is “atypical depression”. It can be very hard to spot people suffering depression because they may seem like they don’t have a reason to be sad — they have a job, an apartment and maybe even children or a partner. They smile when you greet them and can carry pleasant conversations. In short, they often put on a mask to the outside world while leading seemingly normal and active lives. Inside, however, they often feel hopeless and down, sometimes even having thoughts about ending it all.
People with smiling depression put on a happy face to the outside world, but they can experience a lift in their mood as a result of positive occurrences in their lives. Other symptoms of this condition include overeating, feeling a sense of heaviness in the arms and legs and being easily hurt by criticism or rejection. They are also more likely to feel depressed in the evening and feel the need to sleep longer than usual. With other forms of depression, however, your mood might be worse in the morning and you might feel the need for less sleep than you are normally used to.
So how can they break this circle? A starting point needs to be known that this condition actually exists and that it’s serious. Only when we stop ignoring our problems because we think they’re not serious enough can we start making an actual difference. Then we can find purpose by taking the attention away from ourselves and placing it onto something else. Feeling that our lives matter is finally what gives us purpose and meaning — and this can make a significant difference for our mental health and well-being.
28. What do we know about people suffering smiling depression?
A. They are wearing masks all day. B. They are difficult to get along with.
C. They lead an abnormal life actually. D. Most of them commit suicide.
29. What does the underlined word “atypical” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. representative B. common C. hidden D. formal
30. Compared with smiling depression, people suffering other depressions .
A. may feel sleepless B. feel more depressed in the evening
C. are tired of heaviness in the arms D. may eat more food
31. What can we do to overcome smiling depression?
A. Never talk about smiling depression and ignore its existence.
B. Admit the condition and pay attention to ourselves.
C. Value the importance of our life and enjoy it.
D. Find out the problem and place it onto somebody else.
【答案】28. C 29. C 30. A 31. C

Researchers in Australia have discovered an effective new method to capture the atmospheric carbon dioxide that is damaging our planet and transform it into something solid, making it much easier to store.
Carbon capture isn’t new, but previous methods call for the gas to be compressed into liquid and then injected underground. Widespread usage of that technology has been locked by economic and environmental concerns due to possible leaks. Instead, in a study published in Nature Communications, the group details their sustainable and cost-effective plan for transforming CO2 into coal.
This new process involves a liquid metal catalyst( 催化剂 )that is efficient in conducting electricity. CO2 gas is dissolved in a container with some liquid. Once electricity charge is introduced, the CO2 begins to turn into solid pieces of carbon, which can be collected and stored.
What makes this particularly unique is that the entire process can occur at room temperature. Previous experiments have only shown a gas to solid conversion at extremely high temperature, which made it impossible on a large scale. Now, the researchers are hoping that their work will be used to create even further when it comes to carbon storage.
In an interesting side benefit, the solid carbon also works as an electrode( 焊 条 ), which opens up a world of possibilities. “A side benefit of the process is that the carbon can hold electrical charge, becoming a super battery, so it could potentially be used as a part in future vehicles,” explains Dr. Dorna Estrafilzadeh, a researcher. “The process also produces fuel as a by-product, which could also have industrial applications.”
32. What can we know about the previous carbon capture methods?
A. People have to inject liquid to the gas.
B The previous methods can be done easily.
C. The previous methods are not very popular.
D. People have widely accepted previous methods.
33. What is the special part of the new method?
A. It needs electricity to make the process efficient.
B. It can be done in any kind of container.
C. It doesn’t need extreme temperature.
D. It can produce much solid carbon.
34. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The method will make fossil oil disappear.
B. The method will influence the future industry.
C. The method will make developed countries more powerful.
D. The method will be used to make new vehicles.
35. What is the best title for the passage?
A. How to change carbon into CO2.
B. A new carbon capture technology.
C. A new technology to get useful carbon.
D. Australia makes the world cleaner than before.
【答案】32. C 33. C 34. B 35. B

I like travelling and my dream of visiting Beijing, the capital city of our country, come true during the National Day holidays this year. My mother booked an one-day tour for me. On the morning of October 1st I went to Tian’anmen Square with one of my classmates , there we watched the flag-raising ceremony. As I watched the flag rising slowly, I sang the national anthem, feeling extreme proud. Several hours later, a grand military parade was held mark the People's Republic of China's 70th founding anniversary. In the afternoon we decided to go to other famous tourist attraction, like the Great Wall. When we reached the destination, it was crowded with tourists. I was glad for which those volunteers had done for little kids and elderly people . Standing on the Great wall, we couldn’t help admire the splendid scenery. This travelling, with doubt, meant a lot of to me.

【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者今年国庆节去天安门观看升旗仪式和阅兵式以及参观一些景点的经过和感想。
【详解】1. 考查时态。结合上下文可知作者梦想“实现”动作发生在过去，故用一般过去时，故将come改为came。
2. 考查冠词。结合句意此处应译为“一个为期一天的旅行”，故应用不定冠词表示泛指，又one是辅音音素开头，应用a，故将an改为a。
3. 考查定语从句。分析句子可知此处是非限制性定语从句，先行词Tian’anmen Square在从句中充当地点状语，故应用关系副词where，故将there改为where。
4. 考查副词。此处应用副词修饰形容词proud，故将extreme改为extremely。
5. 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知此处应用非谓语动词，再结合句意“举行阅兵式来庆祝中华人民共和国成立70周年”可知此处表目的，应用不定式，故在held后加to。
6. 考查名词的数。根据other（其他的）判断此处应用名词复数形式，故将attraction改为attractions。
7. 考查宾语从句连接词。分析句子可知for后是宾语从句，从句缺少宾语，故应用连接代词what，故将which改为what。
8. 考查固定短语。此处考查短语can’t help doing sth情不自禁做某事，故将admire改为admiring。
9. 考查介词。句意：毫无疑问这次旅行对我意义重大。结合句意可知此处应译为“毫无疑问”，“没有”是without，故将with改为without。
10. 考查介词。修饰动词meant应用a lot(非常)，故删除lot后的of。
【点睛】第10小题考查a lot和a lot of的区别
a lot of意为很多，修饰名词
例如：I have a lot of friends.我有很多朋友。
a lot意为非常，修饰修饰动词、感叹词、介词短语、形容词或副词的比较级
例如：he helped me a lot。他帮了我很多。
He feels a lot better。他感觉好多了。
本题修饰动词meant故用a lot。
