The Today show's Kathie Lee Gifford is hoping to bring the story of David to a new generation with her latest musical project，The Little Giant.
The 13song album tells the story of the shepherd (牧羊人) boy who defeated a giant with five stones and a slingshot and became a king.The idea of the record came after Gifford and her husband Frank went on a lifechanging trip to the Holy Land back in 2012.
Gifford hoped to shine light on David's story to help a new generation find their own purpose；it's why she decided to compose this album that invites kids to hear the tale of the shepherd in a fun and educational way.Gifford based the record's opening track What Is Your Stone on bravery and faith.She hopes the songs can help children find confidence in themselves.
Though the album is aimed at families and children，Gifford found recording the story of David to be an exercise in healing after the death of her beloved husband Frank who passed away two years ago.
“I catch myself saying that I lost him sometimes，” Gifford says.“No，he hasn't been gone.The trip took root in my husband's life，because he truly came to understand exactly what David did.”
Gifford says the trip and the teachings stayed with her husband until his death.“For the next three years，when people came to visit us，they'd always see Frank's trophy (奖杯) room because it's like a museum，” Gifford explained.“He would take them over.Instead of all of his trophies，he would point to the stones we brought back from the travelling destination and talk about them．”
Gifford expects her own journey，her new album and her commitment to bringing a bit of joy to people through her show can help inspire children to discover their own faith and purpose.
24．What was Gifford's main intention of making the album?
A．To honor the meaningful trip.
B．To show her love to her husband.
C．To help children find faith and purpose.
D．To make children understand David's story.
25．How did the album benefit Gifford?
A．It made her become a superstar.
高三英语科试卷第3页（共8页）
B．It made her win lots of trophies.
C．It helped her plan to have a trip to the Holy Land.
D．It helped her recover from the pain of losing Frank.
26．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A．The visitors. B．The stones.
C．The trophies. D．The trips.
27．What do we know from the text?
A．David was the hero of many children.
B．Gifford finished recording the album in 2012.
C．Frank had won much glory when he was alive.
D．The author liked Gifford's songs very much.
C
We humans love to stare into our smart devices.We gaze for hours—about 10 hours and 39 minutes a day—at our computers，smartphones，tablets and televisions.Is all this staring bad for us？It might be，mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposing ourselves to blue light.
Blue light is a type of electromagnetic radiation with a very short wavelength that produces a high amount of energy.While it's true that light can damage our eyes under certain circumstances，there's no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes.But many people still think it is，which is why blue lightblocking glasses are so popular.So do the glasses work?
“Everyone is very concerned that blue light may be causing damage to the eye，but there's no evidence that it may be causing serious damage，” Dr.Rahul Khurana，clinical spokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmology，told Business Insider.
Blue light exposure is nothing new.In fact，the sun is the largest source of blue light.Moreover，blue light is also present in LED lights.But if blue light isn't harmful，then why are we constantly rubbing our eyes when we're looking at our screens？The answer is eyestrain (眼疲劳)：More than 60 percent of people experience eye problems associated with digital eyestrain.And blue light，it seems，isn't the cause.Instead，our eyes are so strained because most of us blink less when we stare at our digital devices.So if eyestrain is the real issue，blue lightblocking glasses are probably of little use.
28．What do we know about blue light?
A．It is a kind of nuclear radiation.
B．It has the shortest wavelength.
C．It may come from electronic devices.
D．It consumes a great deal of energy.
29．What causes the popularity of blue lightblocking glasses?
A．Evidence of their benefits to eyes.
B．Belief in blue light's harmful effect.
C．Widespread use of smart devices.
D．Scientific understanding of blue light.
30．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A．Blue light exposure is hardly avoidable.
B．Eye problems are not easy to deal with.
C．Blue light may connect with tired eyes.
D．Rubbing eyes makes people strained.
31．According to the text，wearing blue lightblocking glasses may be ________．

A．tiring B．harmful
C．useless D．beneficial
第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I just counted how many foreign languages I've studied so far in my life and it's been twelve!
I always follow my interests and find ways to put my language learning into things I'm already interested in.I like to read blogs (博客) in other languages.__32__．For the most part，bloggers tend to write the same way they speak，so I don't have to worry much about adopting strange terms that are only used in writing.
Movies are also a really good tool，especially if you can find subtitles in the language you're learning.__33__，they will still keep your brain listening and reading in the same language.Music is another way to start listening to things in your new language.Personally，I'm so bad at understanding lyrics (歌词) even in English，so this one doesn't really work for me，but I have friends who learn a language through lyrics.Games are of course also an excellent way of studying a new language.A lot of language learning computer programs include games.I'm super competitive and if I play any of them，I can be hooked for hours.__34__．
When the initial excitement of learning a new language begins to fade，it can be hard to stick with it.The hardest bit for me is when I'm comfortable enough with a language to understand most things and make myself understood.I'm actually stuck at this stage in Norwegian.__35__.Ideally I should sign up to take a big language exam.Each time I start getting selfsatisfied，it's time to take a new course or sign up for online lessons，or take up some sort of challenge that will require me to level up my skills.
__36__．The best language class I've ever taken was my beginner's Russian course at university where my professor never used any English.It got to the point where I would kind of just forget about English while in Russian class，which helped me to really immerse myself in the Russian language and do a whole lot with the limited Russian I had.
A．That's really uncomfortable
B．Whatever languages they're translated into
C．I also try to think in the language I'm learning
D．It's time well spent if I'm learning the language
E．Computer games always make me feel worn out
F．Though they don't always exactly match what's being said
G．I found them the perfect learning tool because they're usually written in oral language

The event that stands out in Tom's memory happened one morning when Tom was only ten years old. He was at home with his elder sister Jane. Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices. At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud, but he soon realized this time it was different.
“Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop.” someone yelled.
Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate, a thick cloud of smoke greeted him. The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.
Jane, who had been playing the violin in her room, hurried to the living room. They rushed out of the door and along the corridor (走廊) through the smoke.
They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane stopped in her track. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Tom had no idea what she was doing, but he followed suit.
Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them, who they called Makcik, Malay for auntie. Jane began banging on Makcik's door, but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around them, Tom could see many of their neighbors—some still in their pyjamas—running for safety. The thought of fear crossed his mind.
“She would have run for safety like everyone else！” Tom cried. However, Jane refused to give up. “I know Makcik's still inside.” She said she was familiar with Makcik's daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. She pounded the door. “Go downstairs. Go now! Go！”

17．解析：选F。本句为细节句。根据空前的“Movies are also a really good tool，especially if you can find subtitles in the language you're learning.”可知，F项的内容与其表述一致，“虽然它们和所说的话并不总是完全一致”。故答案为F项。
名师点拨 本句的特点是放在逗号前面，根据下文的特点可知此处应该是个从句，故在B项和F项中选择，然后根据下文的关键词they和F项的they都指的是上文的subtitles“字幕”。
18．解析：选D。本句为总结句。上文的“Games are of course also an excellent way of studying a new language.”和D项的the language相吻合。根据空前一句“如果我玩其中的任何一个游戏，我都能被吸引好几个小时”可知。如果我在学习这门语言上花费时间，是很值得的。故选择D项。

20．解析：选C。本句为段首句。根据下文的“forget about English while in Russian class”可知，C项的表达是符合段首句主题的，“我还试着用我正在学的语言来思考”。故答案为C项。

译文：我在俄语课上会达到有点儿忘记英语的地步，这帮助我使自己真正沉浸在俄语中，用我有限的俄语做了很多事情。

21．解析：选A。考查动词。句意：大多数研究年龄的科学家们认为人体被设计得不会活过120岁。design“设计”；select“选择，挑选”；improve“提高，改善”；discover“发现”。根据句意可知，科学家们认为人体结构的设计决定了人类最多不会活过120岁。故选A。
22．解析：选D。考查副词。句意：然而，如果他非常健康和幸运，110岁可能是人们希望能活的最长的寿命。completely“完全地”；generally“一般地”；apparently“显然地”；extremely“极其；非常”。根据句意可知，如果一个人非常健康而且很幸运，人们希望能活到110岁。故选D。
23．解析：选C。考查副词。句意：然而，我们的细胞不会一直无止境地再生。rapidly“快速地”；harmlessly“无伤害地”；endlessly“无止境地”；separately“分离地；分开地”。根据文意可知，因为人体的细胞不会无止境地再生，因此人的生命是有限的。故选C。
24．解析：选A。考查副词。句意：他们(细胞)慢慢消耗尽，结果我们就会变老最终死亡。eventually“最终”；hopelessly“没有希望地”；automatically“自动地”；desperately“绝望地”。故选A。
25．解析：选B。考查形容词。句意：尽管我们不能永久地活着，但是我们的寿命比以前更长了。busier“更忙的”；longer“更长的”；richer“更富有的”；happier“更开心的”。根据这一段的内容可知，现在人们的寿命比以前更长了。故选B。
26．解析：选D。考查形容词。句意：作为中年和老年的分界线，65岁可能已经过时了。finishing“完成的”；guiding“指导的；指引的”；waiting“等待的”；dividing“划分的”。根据文意可知，把65岁当作中年和老年的分界线，这已经不适合现在的形势了。dividing line“分界线”。故选D。
27．解析：选C。考查名词。句意：毕竟，很多老年人直到75岁之后才开始经历身体和精神的衰落。stress“压力，压迫”；damage“损坏”；decline“衰落，衰弱”；failure“失败”。根据句意可知，现在很多老年人是在75岁之后身体和精神才开始衰弱的。故选C。
28．解析：选A。考查动词。句意：现在人们活得更长因为更多的人从童年中幸存下来。survive“幸存”；enjoy“喜欢，欣赏”；remember“记得”；value“价值，估价”。根据本段内容，尤其是“the chances of living long are much higher due to better diets and health care”可知，现在的人平均寿命比以前更长的一个原因是人们从童年的疾病中幸存下来。故选A。
29．解析：选D。考查名词。句意：在现代医学改变了自然的法则之前，很多孩子死于常见的儿童疾病。problem“问题”；fear“恐惧，害怕”；worry“担心”；disease“疾病”。根据句意可知，以前的人们因为很多普遍的儿童疾病而死，所以导致平均寿命比较低。故选D。
30．解析：选B。考查形容词。句意：既然年少夭折的可能性更低了，那么活得更长的机会就提高了，因为有了更好的饮食和医疗护理。poor“穷的”；young“年轻的”；sick“病的”；quiet“安静的”。根据该段意思可知，以前人们在小的时候就因为生病死去了，dying young“年少死去”。故选B。
31．解析：选A。考查名词。句意：人口结构的改变会对我们社会的发展和我们的生活方式有持续的影响。change“改变”；recovery“恢复”；safety“安全”；increase“增长，增加”。根据下文中的“Some people fear such changes will be for the worse”可知，我们现在的人口结构改变了。故选A。
32．解析：选B。考查名词。句意：一些人担心这个改变将会带来一些坏处，然而还有一些人看到的是机会，而不是灾难。dream“梦想”；chance“机会”；strength“力量”；choice“选择”。根据句意可知，这句话中的while表示对比，即跟前一种人不一样的看法。故选B。
33．解析：选A。考查名词。句意：现在，很多处在一黄金年龄的男士和女士，身体都非常健康，仍然积极，心态很年轻。mind“心态”；appearance“外表”；voice“声音”；movement“移动”。根据句意可知，这里应该是说虽然年龄老了，但是心态依然年轻。故选A。
34．解析：选C。考查名词。句意：随着我们的社会老龄化，我们需要这些老年公民的贡献。protection“保护”；suggestion“建议”；contribution“贡献”；permission“允许”。根据文意可知，现在的社会逐渐老龄化，因此老年人也要继续给我们的社会做贡献。故选C。
35．解析：选D。考查动词。句意：前面还有很长的寿命，他们需要保持积极的心态和奉献的精神。sound“听起来”；appear“好像；出现”；turn“转，变成”；stay“保持”。根据文意可知，现在人们的寿命更长了，因此老年人也要继续保持积极心态，为我们的社会做贡献。故选D。
第二节 语篇填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了有关茶的功效、生长环境等知识。
36．most 考查最高级。根据空前面的one of和定冠词the可知，此处需要用形容词的最高级形式。
37．hundreds 考查数词。hundreds of数以百计的。
38．it 考查代词。use后缺少宾语，因此此处需要用it作宾语，代替tea。
39．which 考查关系代词。此处需要用which引导非限制性定语从句，which在从句中作主语。
40．drinking 考查非谓语动词。have problems/difficulty (in) doing sth.做某事有困难。
41．grows 考查时态。根据全文整体时态可知，此处需要用一般现在时。主语是第三人称单数，因此填grows。
42．to 考查介词。from ...to ...从……到……。
43．to pull 考查非谓语动词。根据句意可知，此处需要用不定式作目的状语。为了容易采茶叶，人们把它们修剪成大约一米高的灌木。
44．easily 考查副词。所填词修饰pull，故填副词。
45．per/a/every/each/one 考查固定表达。per/a/every/each/one day表示“一天”。
【高频词汇】 pour v．倾倒；倒(饮料等) cure v．治愈 chemical n．化学物质 caffeine n．咖啡因 tropical adj.热带的 temperate adj.温带的 bud n．芽 plantation n．种植园
【长难句式】 On large tea plantations the leaves are harvested by machines，but the quality of tea is higher when the leaves are picked by hand.
分析：but后面的分句中when引导状语从句。
译文：在大型茶园中，茶叶是用机器采收的，但手工采摘的茶叶质量更高。

Dear Johnson，
Knowing that you have some problems in learning Chinese，I feel sorry but understandable about your problems.
As a beginner，you may find what you learned in Chinese can't match what is used in real life，which is quite normal.As you know，Chinese characters have a very long history and they have deep meanings in sounds and formations.But if you insist on learning Chinese，you will know its beauty.
Hope you will make great progress and be more confident.
Yours，

Paragraph 1：
Tom noticed the flame was reaching up. Frozen with fear，he stood rooted to the spot.He comprehended the gravity of the situation and held Jane's hand tightly.By then，both of them were coughing and their eyes were stinging.Time seemed to stand still，though they were probably there for only two or three minutes.Tom begged Jane to run for safety as quickly as possible.Jane tried to shield her nose from the choking smoke and shook her head.She kept pounding against the door.Tom burst out crying.
Paragraph 2：
Luckily, some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help. A sense of strength immediately replaced the mounting fear and anxiety in Jane's mind. She told them Ms. Makcik must be still in the room. They forced the door open with all their might. Sure enough, Makcik was lying in bed, unconscious. She was carried downstairs and then rushed to the hospital, where she finally came to herself. People in the neighborhood felt relieved and Jane and Tom's joy was immense.

W: Hello, I’m Rachel Joyce. I’m so happy to be here today at the Claremont Library. I’ve traveled all the way from England, and it’s truly wonderful to visit the United States! This is the first stop on my book tour. I’m off to Australia next! Before I take any questions, let me tell you a bit about myself. My new novel, The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy, was published in 2014. The book is a companion to my first novel, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, which follows a man named Harold Fry as he goes in search of his old friend, Queenie Hennessy, in hopes of saying goodbye before she dies. The novel was published in 2012. It was almost chosen for the Commonwealth Book Prize and the Man Booker Prize. The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy is Queenie’s side of the story as she waits for Harold. I’ve also written many radio plays for BBC Radio Four, and in 2007, I won the Tinniswood Award for my radio play To Be a Pilgrim. I have also won the UK National Book Award for New Writer of the Year. Now, I’ll take questions from the audience.

The Today show's Kathie Lee Gifford is hoping to bring the story of David to a new generation with her latest musical project，The Little Giant.
The 13song album tells the story of the shepherd (牧羊人) boy who defeated a giant with five stones and a slingshot and became a king.The idea of the record came after Gifford and her husband Frank went on a lifechanging trip to the Holy Land back in 2012.
Gifford hoped to shine light on David's story to help a new generation find their own purpose；it's why she decided to compose this album that invites kids to hear the tale of the shepherd in a fun and educational way.Gifford based the record's opening track What Is Your Stone on bravery and faith.She hopes the songs can help children find confidence in themselves.
Though the album is aimed at families and children，Gifford found recording the story of David to be an exercise in healing after the death of her beloved husband Frank who passed away two years ago.
“I catch myself saying that I lost him sometimes，” Gifford says.“No，he hasn't been gone.The trip took root in my husband's life，because he truly came to understand exactly what David did.”
Gifford says the trip and the teachings stayed with her husband until his death.“For the next three years，when people came to visit us，they'd always see Frank's trophy (奖杯) room because it's like a museum，” Gifford explained.“He would take them over.Instead of all of his trophies，he would point to the stones we brought back from the travelling destination and talk about them．”
Gifford expects her own journey，her new album and her commitment to bringing a bit of joy to people through her show can help inspire children to discover their own faith and purpose.
24．What was Gifford's main intention of making the album?
A．To honor the meaningful trip.
B．To show her love to her husband.
C．To help children find faith and purpose.
D．To make children understand David's story.
25．How did the album benefit Gifford?
A．It made her become a superstar.
高三英语科试卷第3页（共8页）
B．It made her win lots of trophies.
C．It helped her plan to have a trip to the Holy Land.
D．It helped her recover from the pain of losing Frank.
26．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A．The visitors. B．The stones.
C．The trophies. D．The trips.
27．What do we know from the text?
A．David was the hero of many children.
B．Gifford finished recording the album in 2012.
C．Frank had won much glory when he was alive.
D．The author liked Gifford's songs very much.

We humans love to stare into our smart devices.We gaze for hours—about 10 hours and 39 minutes a day—at our computers，smartphones，tablets and televisions.Is all this staring bad for us？It might be，mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposing ourselves to blue light.
Blue light is a type of electromagnetic radiation with a very short wavelength that produces a high amount of energy.While it's true that light can damage our eyes under certain circumstances，there's no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes.But many people still think it is，which is why blue lightblocking glasses are so popular.So do the glasses work?
“Everyone is very concerned that blue light may be causing damage to the eye，but there's no evidence that it may be causing serious damage，” Dr.Rahul Khurana，clinical spokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmology，told Business Insider.
Blue light exposure is nothing new.In fact，the sun is the largest source of blue light.Moreover，blue light is also present in LED lights.But if blue light isn't harmful，then why are we constantly rubbing our eyes when we're looking at our screens？The answer is eyestrain (眼疲劳)：More than 60 percent of people experience eye problems associated with digital eyestrain.And blue light，it seems，isn't the cause.Instead，our eyes are so strained because most of us blink less when we stare at our digital devices.So if eyestrain is the real issue，blue lightblocking glasses are probably of little use.
28．What do we know about blue light?
A．It is a kind of nuclear radiation.
B．It has the shortest wavelength.
C．It may come from electronic devices.
D．It consumes a great deal of energy.
29．What causes the popularity of blue lightblocking glasses?
A．Evidence of their benefits to eyes.
B．Belief in blue light's harmful effect.
C．Widespread use of smart devices.
D．Scientific understanding of blue light.
30．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A．Blue light exposure is hardly avoidable.
B．Eye problems are not easy to deal with.
C．Blue light may connect with tired eyes.
D．Rubbing eyes makes people strained.
31．According to the text，wearing blue lightblocking glasses may be ________．

A．tiring B．harmful
C．useless D．beneficial
第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I just counted how many foreign languages I've studied so far in my life and it's been twelve!
I always follow my interests and find ways to put my language learning into things I'm already interested in.I like to read blogs (博客) in other languages.__32__．For the most part，bloggers tend to write the same way they speak，so I don't have to worry much about adopting strange terms that are only used in writing.
Movies are also a really good tool，especially if you can find subtitles in the language you're learning.__33__，they will still keep your brain listening and reading in the same language.Music is another way to start listening to things in your new language.Personally，I'm so bad at understanding lyrics (歌词) even in English，so this one doesn't really work for me，but I have friends who learn a language through lyrics.Games are of course also an excellent way of studying a new language.A lot of language learning computer programs include games.I'm super competitive and if I play any of them，I can be hooked for hours.__34__．
When the initial excitement of learning a new language begins to fade，it can be hard to stick with it.The hardest bit for me is when I'm comfortable enough with a language to understand most things and make myself understood.I'm actually stuck at this stage in Norwegian.__35__.Ideally I should sign up to take a big language exam.Each time I start getting selfsatisfied，it's time to take a new course or sign up for online lessons，or take up some sort of challenge that will require me to level up my skills.
__36__．The best language class I've ever taken was my beginner's Russian course at university where my professor never used any English.It got to the point where I would kind of just forget about English while in Russian class，which helped me to really immerse myself in the Russian language and do a whole lot with the limited Russian I had.
A．That's really uncomfortable
B．Whatever languages they're translated into
C．I also try to think in the language I'm learning
D．It's time well spent if I'm learning the language
E．Computer games always make me feel worn out
F．Though they don't always exactly match what's being said
G．I found them the perfect learning tool because they're usually written in oral language

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。续写的词数应为150左右。
The event that stands out in Tom's memory happened one morning when Tom was only ten years old. He was at home with his elder sister Jane. Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices. At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud, but he soon realized this time it was different.
“Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop.” someone yelled.
Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate, a thick cloud of smoke greeted him. The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.
Jane, who had been playing the violin in her room, hurried to the living room. They rushed out of the door and along the corridor (走廊) through the smoke.
They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane stopped in her track. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Tom had no idea what she was doing, but he followed suit.
Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them, who they called Makcik, Malay for auntie. Jane began banging on Makcik's door, but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around them, Tom could see many of their neighbors—some still in their pyjamas—running for safety. The thought of fear crossed his mind.
“She would have run for safety like everyone else！” Tom cried. However, Jane refused to give up. “I know Makcik's still inside.” She said she was familiar with Makcik's daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. She pounded the door. “Go downstairs. Go now! Go！”

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了城市的除雪工作安排、注意事项和市民需要配合做的事情。

2．解析：选D。细节理解题。由文中“Keep public sidewalks next to your house clear of snow and ice.”可知，市民被要求清理自己家附近的公共人行道上的冰雪。故选D。
3．解析：选A。推理判断题。由文中“Routes used by City Emergency Services come first.”可知，城市应急服务线路优先，也就是说清除紧急路线是优先事项。故选A。
【高频词汇】 removal n．移动；搬迁；清除 safety n．安全 in that case既然那样
【长难句式】 Secondly，connected streets will be cleared，which allows citizens the greatest access to public roads.
分析：which引导定语从句。
译文：其次，连接的街道将被清理，这将使市民最大限度地进入公共道路。
【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了Gifford的新专辑发行了，以及这张新专辑的内容和创作历程。

5．解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第四段“...Gifford found recording the story of David to be an exercise in healing after the death of her beloved husband Frank who passed away two years ago.”可知，The Little Giant专辑帮助她从丧夫的痛苦中走出来。故选D。
6．解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第六段最后一句话“Instead of all of his trophies，he would point to the stones we brought back from the travelling destination and talk about them.”可知，句中划线的them指的是Gifford和丈夫在旅行时捡来的石头。故选B。A项“游客们”，C项“奖杯”，D项“旅行”，均不正确。
7．解析：选C。推理判断题。根据第六段中的“when people came to visit us，they'd always see Frank's trophy (奖杯) room because it's like a museum”可知，Frank生前获得过很多奖杯。故选C。B项中的2012年是旅行结束的时间，而不是完成录制专辑的时间。A、D项没有提及。
【高频词汇】 slingshot n．弹弓 compose v．组成，作曲，创作 commitment n．承诺，奉献，投入
【长难句式】 Though the album is aimed at families and children，Gifford found recording the story of David to be an exercise in healing after the death of her beloved husband Frank who passed away two years ago.
分析：这是一个复合句。though引导让步状语从句；who引导定语从句。
译文：尽管这个音乐专辑主要针对家庭和孩子们，Gifford发现录制David的故事成为一种康复的锻炼，在她深爱的丈夫Frank两年前去世后。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。蓝光是一种波长非常短、能量巨大的电磁辐射。虽然在某些情况下光线确实会损伤我们的眼睛，但是并没有科学证据表明蓝光对我们的眼睛有害。不过许多人仍然认为蓝光有害，这就是防蓝光眼镜如此受欢迎的原因。
8．解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句话“It might be，mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposing ourselves to blue light.”可知，我们在盯着电子设备的同时，就使自己暴露于蓝光下。故答案为C项“它可能来自电子设备”。
9．解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第二段第二句和第三句“While it's true that light can damage our eyes under certain circumstances, there's no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes.But many people still think it is，which is why blue lightblocking glasses are so popular.”可知，虽然在某些情况下光线确实会损伤我们的眼睛，但是并没有科学证据表明蓝光对我们的眼睛有害。不过许多人仍然认为蓝光有害，这就是防蓝光眼镜如此受欢迎的原因。故选择B项。
10．解析：选A。推理判断题。根据第四段前三句“Blue light exposure is nothing new.In fact，the sun is the largest source of blue light. Moreover，blue light is also present in LED lights.”可知，蓝光照射并不罕见。事实上，太阳就是蓝光最大的来源。此外，蓝光也存在于LED灯中。也就是说蓝光照射几乎是不可避免的，答案为A项。
11．解析：选C。推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“So if eyestrain is the real issue，blue lightblocking glasses are probably of little use.”可知，如果眼疲劳才是真正的问题，那么防蓝光眼镜可能是无用的(useless)。
【高频词汇】 device n．设备 expose v．暴露 circumstance n．情况 evidence n．证据
【长难句式】 While it's true that light can damage our eyes under certain circumstances，there's no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes.

译文：虽然在某些情况下光线确实会损害我们的眼睛，但是并没有科学证据表明蓝光对我们的眼睛有害。
第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。作者主要介绍了学习外语的方法与技巧。
16．解析：选G。本句为细节句。根据空前的“I like to read blogs (博客) in other languages.”和空后的“bloggers tend to write the same way they speak”可知，博客是完美的学习工具。故选择G项。
17．解析：选F。本句为细节句。根据空前的“Movies are also a really good tool，especially if you can find subtitles in the language you're learning.”可知，F项的内容与其表述一致，“虽然它们和所说的话并不总是完全一致”。故答案为F项。
名师点拨 本句的特点是放在逗号前面，根据下文的特点可知此处应该是个从句，故在B项和F项中选择，然后根据下文的关键词they和F项的they都指的是上文的subtitles“字幕”。
18．解析：选D。本句为总结句。上文的“Games are of course also an excellent way of studying a new language.”和D项的the language相吻合。根据空前一句“如果我玩其中的任何一个游戏，我都能被吸引好几个小时”可知。如果我在学习这门语言上花费时间，是很值得的。故选择D项。
19．解析：选A。本句为细节句。根据上文的“The hardest bit for me is when I'm comfortable enough with a language to understand most things and make myself understood.I'm actually stuck at this stage in Norwegian.”可知，A项的That指的就是上文的这种状况，表示“这种状况真的很不舒服”。故选择A项。
20．解析：选C。本句为段首句。根据下文的“forget about English while in Russian class”可知，C项的表达是符合段首句主题的，“我还试着用我正在学的语言来思考”。故答案为C项。
【高频词汇】 count n．计算，数数 competitive adj.竞争的，好胜的 immerse n．沉浸于
【长难句式】 It got to the point where I would kind of just forget about English while in Russian class，which helped me to really immerse myself in the Russian language and do a whole lot with the limited Russian I had.
分析：本句中where引导定语从句，先行词为the point; which引导非限制性定语从句，which代指上文just forget about English while in Russian class“上俄语课忘记英语”这件事；I had作the limited Russian的定语。
译文：我在俄语课上会达到有点儿忘记英语的地步，这帮助我使自己真正沉浸在俄语中，用我有限的俄语做了很多事情。
第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）
第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）
【语篇解读】 人的寿命是有限的，但是随着社会的发展，生活水平的提高，人的寿命比以前更长了，而且老龄化已经成为社会的一个趋势。我们的社会需要这些老年人继续保持积极的心态，为社会做贡献。
21．解析：选A。考查动词。句意：大多数研究年龄的科学家们认为人体被设计得不会活过120岁。design“设计”；select“选择，挑选”；improve“提高，改善”；discover“发现”。根据句意可知，科学家们认为人体结构的设计决定了人类最多不会活过120岁。故选A。
22．解析：选D。考查副词。句意：然而，如果他非常健康和幸运，110岁可能是人们希望能活的最长的寿命。completely“完全地”；generally“一般地”；apparently“显然地”；extremely“极其；非常”。根据句意可知，如果一个人非常健康而且很幸运，人们希望能活到110岁。故选D。
23．解析：选C。考查副词。句意：然而，我们的细胞不会一直无止境地再生。rapidly“快速地”；harmlessly“无伤害地”；endlessly“无止境地”；separately“分离地；分开地”。根据文意可知，因为人体的细胞不会无止境地再生，因此人的生命是有限的。故选C。
24．解析：选A。考查副词。句意：他们(细胞)慢慢消耗尽，结果我们就会变老最终死亡。eventually“最终”；hopelessly“没有希望地”；automatically“自动地”；desperately“绝望地”。故选A。
25．解析：选B。考查形容词。句意：尽管我们不能永久地活着，但是我们的寿命比以前更长了。busier“更忙的”；longer“更长的”；richer“更富有的”；happier“更开心的”。根据这一段的内容可知，现在人们的寿命比以前更长了。故选B。
26．解析：选D。考查形容词。句意：作为中年和老年的分界线，65岁可能已经过时了。finishing“完成的”；guiding“指导的；指引的”；waiting“等待的”；dividing“划分的”。根据文意可知，把65岁当作中年和老年的分界线，这已经不适合现在的形势了。dividing line“分界线”。故选D。
27．解析：选C。考查名词。句意：毕竟，很多老年人直到75岁之后才开始经历身体和精神的衰落。stress“压力，压迫”；damage“损坏”；decline“衰落，衰弱”；failure“失败”。根据句意可知，现在很多老年人是在75岁之后身体和精神才开始衰弱的。故选C。
28．解析：选A。考查动词。句意：现在人们活得更长因为更多的人从童年中幸存下来。survive“幸存”；enjoy“喜欢，欣赏”；remember“记得”；value“价值，估价”。根据本段内容，尤其是“the chances of living long are much higher due to better diets and health care”可知，现在的人平均寿命比以前更长的一个原因是人们从童年的疾病中幸存下来。故选A。
29．解析：选D。考查名词。句意：在现代医学改变了自然的法则之前，很多孩子死于常见的儿童疾病。problem“问题”；fear“恐惧，害怕”；worry“担心”；disease“疾病”。根据句意可知，以前的人们因为很多普遍的儿童疾病而死，所以导致平均寿命比较低。故选D。
30．解析：选B。考查形容词。句意：既然年少夭折的可能性更低了，那么活得更长的机会就提高了，因为有了更好的饮食和医疗护理。poor“穷的”；young“年轻的”；sick“病的”；quiet“安静的”。根据该段意思可知，以前人们在小的时候就因为生病死去了，dying young“年少死去”。故选B。
31．解析：选A。考查名词。句意：人口结构的改变会对我们社会的发展和我们的生活方式有持续的影响。change“改变”；recovery“恢复”；safety“安全”；increase“增长，增加”。根据下文中的“Some people fear such changes will be for the worse”可知，我们现在的人口结构改变了。故选A。
32．解析：选B。考查名词。句意：一些人担心这个改变将会带来一些坏处，然而还有一些人看到的是机会，而不是灾难。dream“梦想”；chance“机会”；strength“力量”；choice“选择”。根据句意可知，这句话中的while表示对比，即跟前一种人不一样的看法。故选B。
33．解析：选A。考查名词。句意：现在，很多处在一黄金年龄的男士和女士，身体都非常健康，仍然积极，心态很年轻。mind“心态”；appearance“外表”；voice“声音”；movement“移动”。根据句意可知，这里应该是说虽然年龄老了，但是心态依然年轻。故选A。
34．解析：选C。考查名词。句意：随着我们的社会老龄化，我们需要这些老年公民的贡献。protection“保护”；suggestion“建议”；contribution“贡献”；permission“允许”。根据文意可知，现在的社会逐渐老龄化，因此老年人也要继续给我们的社会做贡献。故选C。
35．解析：选D。考查动词。句意：前面还有很长的寿命，他们需要保持积极的心态和奉献的精神。sound“听起来”；appear“好像；出现”；turn“转，变成”；stay“保持”。根据文意可知，现在人们的寿命更长了，因此老年人也要继续保持积极心态，为我们的社会做贡献。故选D。
第二节 语篇填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了有关茶的功效、生长环境等知识。
36．most 考查最高级。根据空前面的one of和定冠词the可知，此处需要用形容词的最高级形式。
37．hundreds 考查数词。hundreds of数以百计的。
38．it 考查代词。use后缺少宾语，因此此处需要用it作宾语，代替tea。
39．which 考查关系代词。此处需要用which引导非限制性定语从句，which在从句中作主语。
40．drinking 考查非谓语动词。have problems/difficulty (in) doing sth.做某事有困难。
41．grows 考查时态。根据全文整体时态可知，此处需要用一般现在时。主语是第三人称单数，因此填grows。
42．to 考查介词。from ...to ...从……到……。
43．to pull 考查非谓语动词。根据句意可知，此处需要用不定式作目的状语。为了容易采茶叶，人们把它们修剪成大约一米高的灌木。
44．easily 考查副词。所填词修饰pull，故填副词。
45．per/a/every/each/one 考查固定表达。per/a/every/each/one day表示“一天”。
【高频词汇】 pour v．倾倒；倒(饮料等) cure v．治愈 chemical n．化学物质 caffeine n．咖啡因 tropical adj.热带的 temperate adj.温带的 bud n．芽 plantation n．种植园
【长难句式】 On large tea plantations the leaves are harvested by machines，but the quality of tea is higher when the leaves are picked by hand.
分析：but后面的分句中when引导状语从句。
译文：在大型茶园中，茶叶是用机器采收的，但手工采摘的茶叶质量更高。

【佳作展台】
Dear Johnson，
Knowing that you have some problems in learning Chinese，I feel sorry but understandable about your problems.
As a beginner，you may find what you learned in Chinese can't match what is used in real life，which is quite normal.As you know，Chinese characters have a very long history and they have deep meanings in sounds and formations.But if you insist on learning Chinese，you will know its beauty.
Hope you will make great progress and be more confident.
Yours，

One possible version：
Paragraph 1：
Tom noticed the flame was reaching up. Frozen with fear，he stood rooted to the spot.He comprehended the gravity of the situation and held Jane's hand tightly.By then，both of them were coughing and their eyes were stinging.Time seemed to stand still，though they were probably there for only two or three minutes.Tom begged Jane to run for safety as quickly as possible.Jane tried to shield her nose from the choking smoke and shook her head.She kept pounding against the door.Tom burst out crying.
Paragraph 2：
Luckily, some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help. A sense of strength immediately replaced the mounting fear and anxiety in Jane's mind. She told them Ms. Makcik must be still in the room. They forced the door open with all their might. Sure enough, Makcik was lying in bed, unconscious. She was carried downstairs and then rushed to the hospital, where she finally came to herself. People in the neighborhood felt relieved and Jane and Tom's joy was immense.

W: Hello, I’m Rachel Joyce. I’m so happy to be here today at the Claremont Library. I’ve traveled all the way from England, and it’s truly wonderful to visit the United States! This is the first stop on my book tour. I’m off to Australia next! Before I take any questions, let me tell you a bit about myself. My new novel, The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy, was published in 2014. The book is a companion to my first novel, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, which follows a man named Harold Fry as he goes in search of his old friend, Queenie Hennessy, in hopes of saying goodbye before she dies. The novel was published in 2012. It was almost chosen for the Commonwealth Book Prize and the Man Booker Prize. The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy is Queenie’s side of the story as she waits for Harold. I’ve also written many radio plays for BBC Radio Four, and in 2007, I won the Tinniswood Award for my radio play To Be a Pilgrim. I have also won the UK National Book Award for New Writer of the Year. Now, I’ll take questions from the audience.
