M: Mm, I’ll consider that. Another thing is I have a big table in my dining room that no one ever sits at.
W: Yeah. Some people never use their dining tables. So why hold onto them? Replace the big table with a smaller round table.

【录音稿】Many students ask me about how to understand and enjoy the experience of concert going. So today, I’d like to take some time to talk about it. First of all, a live concert is totally different from listening to recordings. In a live performance, what is performed, how it sounds and how the artist feels about the performance, these exist for only a very short moment and can never be repeated. As an audience responds to the excitement of such moments, feelings are exchanged between stage and hall. You have many kinds of concerts to choose from by many kinds of performing groups. Concerts by university performing groups are easily accessible, free or at a relatively low price and often of high quality. Announcements of such concerts will be found in the newspaper of our university. Performances outside the university are announced in local newspapers. These concerts tend to be more expensive but discount tickets are often available for students. Though tickets can usually be bought on the day or (没有the) night of a concert, you’ll have a wide choice if you buy them in advance at the box office or on the Internet. If possible, prepare for a concert by listening to some of the works to be performed and by reading about the musicians.
【解析】本录音考查的话题是大学现场音乐会。

In my everyday life, I am on an ongoing journey to figure out different ways to reduce my carbon footprint on the planet. A carbon footprint is the measure of influence our activities have on the environment, in particular climate change. It is calculated by the amount of greenhouse gas we produce in our daily lives. Fortunately, nowadays it is much easier to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices than, let’s say, 20 years ago. But one question has been on my mind a lot lately: is it better to buy new eco-friendly products or used traditionally produced goods?
After doing some research, I have decided that some things are better new and others are better used. Let me try to explain.
A carbon footprint is made up of two parts, the primary footprint and the secondary footprint. The primary footprint is a measure of our direct emissions (排放) of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the burning of fuels, including household energy consumption and transportation. The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we use — those related to their production and breakdown.
Based on this understanding, we have a good deal of control and responsibility over our carbon footprint. Things like dishes, clothes and furniture fall into the “secondary footprint” group, so less is more and we can focus on finding used goods to avoid the added production. However, for the car and the other appliances (设备) that we need we can go with new, energy-saving models. I heard somewhere that electronics and appliances give off 90% of their carbon footprint after they leave the factory. So it seems most reasonable to go for the energy-saving models. The main concern here is the amount of energy that goes into the making of new products and whether or not that extra carbon is worth the footprint the product will make once it gets to you.
24. What is the text mainly about?
A. What appliances to buy to save energy.
B. What a carbon footprint means in our life.
C. How to identify different carbon footprints.
D. How to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices.
【答案】D
【解析】本题考查主旨大意题。文章第一段中“Fortunately, nowadays it is much easier to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices(幸运的是，现在更容易选择环保的生活方式)”以及困扰作者的一个问题“is it better to buy new eco-friendly products or used traditionally produced ones?(新型环保产品，使用过的传统生产的产品，选择哪一种更好？) ”再根据第二段一整段的内容，作者通过研究得出答案，有些时候是新型环保产品好，有时候是另一种更好。文章接下来的段落就是分析了作者这个答案是怎样找到的。由此可知，文章主要是关于怎样选择更环保的生活方式的。故选D项。
25. What do we know about the secondary carbon footprint?
A It is related to our consumption of fuels.
B. It is made when we are buying the products.
C. It is less harmful than the primary carbon footprint.
D. It is counted as ours though not directly made by us.
【答案】D
【解析】本题考查推理判断题。根据第三段中“The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we use-those related to their production and breakdown.(第二种足迹是表示我们使用的产品在整个生命周期中间接排放的二氧化碳，这些是和他们的生产和排放有关的) ”可知，第二种碳足迹虽然不是我们直接产生的，但是也是我们使用的产品释放出来的，也是要归结到我们身上的。故选D项。
26. Which of the following helps reduce our carbon footprint according to the author?
A. Using second-hand textbooks. B. Using old and expensive cars.
C. Buying new but cheap clothes. D. Buying new wooden furniture.
【答案】A
【解析】本题考查推理判断题。根据第四段中“Things like dishes, clothes and furniture fall into the “secondary footprint” group, so less is more and we can focus on finding used goods to avoid the added production.”可知，像盘子，衣服和家具这样的物品是属于 “第二类型的足迹”，所以是越少越好，我们应该注重寻找用过的物品来避免额外的生产。二手书是属于和衣服等可以二次使用的物品，符合题意。故选A项。
27. "The footprint" underlined in the last sentence refers to the CO2 produced in _________.
A. using the product B. recycling the product
C. making the product D. transporting the product
【答案】A
【解析】本题考查语句猜测题。根据第四段中“The main concern here is the amount of energy that goes into the making of new products and whether or not that extra carbon is worth the footprint the product will make once it gets to you. (主要的问题是这些投入在制造新产品时的能源以及这种额外的碳是否值得它到你手里以后，所产生的碳足迹) ”可知，footprint在其后定语从句the product will make once it gets to you充当make的宾语，意思是“这种碳足迹就是产品到你手里之后，你使用中所产生的”。由此推知，划线词组the footprint指的是“产品使用过程中产生的二氧化碳”。故选A项。
24. C
Magic is a form of entertainment that is based on pretending to do things that are impossible. The magician is a specially trained actor. He tries to make the audience believe that he has the power to do things which are against the laws of nature.
Magic shows are entertaining as long as the audience does not discover how the tricks are done. The magician usually depends on his skill with his hands, on his knowledge of psychology, and, sometimes, on mechanical devices (机械装置). Since magic performance is meant to trick people, the use of psychology is important. The magician must keep people from noticing all the movements of his hands and from thinking about the secret parts of his equipment. He must also lead the audience to draw false conclusions. The magician’s success depends on the fact that many things seen by the eye are not the things that matter.
Two basic magic tricks are making objects seem to appear and making objects seem to disappear. A combination of these two tricks makes for some interesting effects. For example, the magician puts a small ball under one of several cups. The ball then seems to jump from one cup to another or to change colour. What actually happens is that the magician, employing quick hand movements or a mechanical device, hides one ball. While doing this he talks to the audience and waves a brightly coloured cloth with one hand. The audience is too busy watching the cloth and listening to the magician’s words to notice that his other hand is hiding the ball.
Another favourite trick is to cut or burn something, and then make it appear whole again. What actually happens is that the magician makes the cut or burned object disappear by quickly hiding it while the audience watches something else. Then he “magically” makes it appear whole again by displaying (展示) another object that has not been cut or burned.
28. What is the author's main purpose in writing the text?
A. To promote a magic show. B. To teach people to be magicians.
C. To explain the art of magic. D. To praise the talents of magicians.
【答案】C
【解析】【8题详解】
本题考查目的意图题。通过对文章主旨大意的理解以及文章最后两端讲述的魔术技巧，可知作者写这篇文章的主要目的是解释魔法的艺术。故选C项。
29. Which of the following is important for a successful magic trick?
A. Moving stage equipment. B. Directing the audience's attention.
C. Applying high technology. D. Keeping the performance in secret.
【答案】D
【解析】【9题详解】
本题考查细节理解题。通过第二段“Magic shows are entertaining as long as the audience does not discover how the tricks are done.（只要观众不知道魔术是如何表演的，魔术表演就很有趣。）”以及“The magician must keep people from noticing all the movements of his hands and from thinking about the secret parts of his equipment.（魔术师必须防止人们注意到他的手的所有动作和思考他的设备的秘密部分。）”可知，对演出保密对于魔术的成功很重要。故选D项。
30. What does the author focus on in the last two paragraphs?
A. Providing examples. B. Making a summary.
C. Drawing comparisons. D. Explaining a concept.
【答案】A
【解析】【10题详解】
本题考查推理判断题。通过倒数第二段“For example the magician puts a small ball under one of several cups. The ball then seems to jump from one cup to another or to change colour.(例如，魔术师把一个小球放在几个杯子中的一个下面。然后球似乎从一个杯子跳到另一个杯子或改变颜色)”以及最后一段“What actually happens is that the magician makes the cut or burned object disappear by quickly hiding it while the audience watches something else.(实际发生的是，魔术师通过在观众观看其他东西时迅速隐藏它，使被切割或烧毁的物体消失)”可以推知，在文章最后两段中，作者举了两个例子。故选A项。
31. What can we infer from the text?
A. Mechanical devices are expensive. B. Most magicians employ assistants.
C. It takes practice to perform magic. D. Small objects are magicians' favourite.
【答案】 C
【解析】本题考查推理判断题。通过文章第一段“The magician is a specially trained actor.( 魔术师是受过专门训练的演员)”可推知，表演魔术需要练习。故选C项。

D
The average bear, it seems, is getting ever smarter. First, it turned out that at least one can use a comb. Now it appears that some can count, too.
Jennifer Vonk, of Oakland University, in Michigan, and Michael Beran, from Georgia State University, set three American black bears the task of distinguishing between numerically larger and smaller groups of dots (点) on a computer screen. In return for a food reward one bear, Brutus, would touch the more heavily dotted pattern with his nose. The others, Bella and Dusty, would touch the screen with their claws (爪子).
As the researchers report in Animal Behavior, the bears did best with patterns where the coloured dots did not move and where more of them also took up a larger coloured area. This could be explained by the bears’ distinguishing the different areas of colour rather than truly counting the dots. However, the three bears managed to pick out the bigger number of dots even in pairs of patterns where fewer dots took up a larger area.
Moving patterns, where each dot followed its own path around the screen, were more of a challenge. But Brutus, at least, was not defeated. He seemed to be counting mobile dots even when the scientists tried to mislead him by moving the total coloured area of the dots at the same time.
It is not entirely surprising that bears should have a high degree of intelligence. They face a lot of challenges when trying to get food. They are, however, always alone, and so do not have the complex social systems that contribute to animal smarts. Perhaps, then, their maths skill developed because they cannot count on their friends for help.
32. What task did the scientists set for the three bears?
A. Distinguishing different dot patterns.
B. Figuring out different colours of dots.
C. Putting the dots into differently coloured groups.
D. Picking out the group with a larger number of dots.
【答案】 A
【解析】本题考查细节理解题。根据第二段“Jennifer Vonk, of Oakland University, in Michigan, and Michael Beran, from Georgia State University, set three American black bears the task of distinguishing between numerically larger and smaller groups of dots on a computer screen.(密歇根州奥克兰大学的Jennifer Vonk和乔治亚州立大学的Michael Beran给三只美国黑熊设定了一项任务，即在电脑屏幕上区分数字上较大和较小的点组)”可知，科学家们给这三只熊安排的任务是区分不同的点的模式。故选A项。
33. For the bears, the task was easier when__________.
A. the coloured dots were moving slowly
B. the dot patterns were regular in shape
C. the dots followed a path on the screen
D. more dots covered a larger coloured area
【答案】 D
【解析】本题考查细节理解题。根据第三段“As the researchers report in Animal Behavior the bears did best with patterns where the coloured dots did not move and where more of them also took up a larger coloured area.(正如研究人员在《动物行为》杂志上所报告的那样，熊最擅长的图案是那些彩色的点不移动，而且更多的点占据了更大的彩色区域)”可知，熊最擅长的图案是被更多的点覆盖的更大的彩色区域。故选D项。
34. What may explain the bears' high degree of intelligence?
A. They learn skills from other animals.
B. They face life challenges on their own.
C. They feed on a diverse range of food.
D. They have complex social networks.
【答案】 B
【解析】本题考查细节理解题。根据最后一段“It is not entirely surprising that bears should have a high degree of intelligence. They face a lot of challenges when trying to get food.(熊拥有高度的智力并不完全令人惊讶。他们在获取食物时面临着很多挑战)”可知熊的高智商表现在它们独自面对生活的挑战。故选B项。
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Bears Taught to Distinguish Colours
B. New Evidence of Bear Intelligence Found
C. Three Bears Learned How to Count
D. The Smartest American Black Bear Brutus
【答案】 B
【解析】本题考查标题判断题。本文介绍了一些新的发现，为证明熊是一种高智商动物提供了证据，所以文章标题应该是“发现了证明熊智力的新证据”。故选B项。

Apps (short for applications) are becoming increasingly popular nowadays, and for good reason. They can help you out in just about every area of your life, whether it’s keeping fit, communicating with friends, or even learning a language. 36 Here’s what you should think about before downloading an app for language learning.
• Learn from diverse sources (not just apps)
Any seasoned language learner will tell you that the beauty of mastering a foreign language is the world which it opens up to you. This is a world of diverse sources (来源) of information, from newspapers and books to TV, radio, music and even real people. Would you limit yourself to one medium in your native language? 37
• Establish your purpose and plan your habits
Do you want to be fluent in weeks or are you in it for the brain training? The good apps are designed to help you fit your studies around your timetable. 38 These apps encourage habit building, because the successful formation of a habit ensures your safe and regular return.
• Make it social
39 I mean social for real. I owe the speed of progress I made in Italian to the support from Jim, my partner in study time. Find a friend to accompany you. Take an evening class. Borrow a book. Buy a book. Book a week away and attend a language school. Just don’t forget your phone!
If I may speak sincerely, the combination of app, language school, Jim, evenings out, and a choice book or two proved extremely effective. 40
A. I recommend it.
B. Remember that an app is just a tool.
C. No, I don’t mean posting your progress online.
D. I encourage you to use apps as often as you can.
E. Probably not, so why do so in your new language?
F. The best apps adapt themselves based upon your behavior.
G. However, you need to know how to use them properly to really benefit.
36.【答案】G
【解析】根据上文“Apps (short for applications) are becoming increasingly popular nowadays, and for good reason. They can help you out in just about every area of your life, whether it’s keeping fit, communicating with friends, or even learning a language.(如今，应用程序正变得越来越流行，这是有原因的。他们可以在你生活的方方面面帮助你，无论是保持健康，与朋友交流，甚至是学习一门语言)”以及后文“Here's what you should think about before downloading an app for language learning.(以下是你在下载一款语言学习应用程序之前应该考虑的事情)”可知，上文提到了应用程序的好处，后文则提到在下载之前应该考虑一些事情，故本句与上文构成转折，说明需要知道如何正确使用应用程序才能真正受益。G选项中them指代上文Apps.故G选项“然而，你需要知道如何正确地使用它们才能真正受益”符合语境，故选G项。
37.【答案】E
【解析】根据上文“Any seasoned language learner will tell you that the beauty of mastering a foreign language is the world which it opens up to you. This is a world of diverse sources of information, from newspaper and books to TV, radio, music and even real people. Would you limit yourself to one medium in your native language?(任何一个经验丰富的语言学习者都会告诉你，掌握一门外语的美妙之处在于它为你打开的世界。这是一个信息来源多样的世界，从报纸、书籍到电视、广播、音乐，甚至是真实的人。在你的母语中，你会把自己限制在一种媒介上吗)”可知，上文提到了学习语言有各种不同的媒体可供选择，且上文提出了一个反问句“你会把自己限制在一种媒体上吗？”，本句位于本段最后一句，应当承接上文回答这一问题，故E选“也许并不会，那么为什么不在你的新语言学习中也这么做呢？”符合语境，故选E项。
38.【答案】F
【解析】根据上文“Do you want to be fluent in weeks or are you in it for the brain training? The good apps are designed to help you fit your studies around your timetable.(你是想在几周内流利地说英语，还是想参加大脑训练？好的应用程序是设计来帮助你适应你的学习时间表)”以及后文“These apps encourage habit building, because the successful formation of a habit ensures your safe and regular return.(这些应用程序鼓励养成习惯，因为成功养成习惯可以确保你的安全定期回归)”可知，上文提到好的应用程序是设计来帮助你适应你的学习时间表，即好的应用程序可以自我调整，来适应使用者的习惯，F选项中the best apps对应后文中These apps。故F选项“最好的应用程序会根据你的行为进行自我调整”符合语境，故选F项。
39.【答案】C
【解析】根据小标题“Make it social(使其具有社交性)”以及后文“I mean social for real.(我的意思是现实意义上的社交)”可知，后文提到了“使其具有社交性”真实的意义，可知本句应当是在说明与后文意思相反的情况，C选项中I don’t mean与后文I mean相对应。故C选项“不，我不是说在网上公布你的进展”符合语境，故选C项。
40.【答案】A
【解析】根据上文“If I may speak sincerely, the combination of app, language school, Jim, evening out, and a choice book or two proved extremely effective.(坦率地说，app、language school、Jim、evening out和一两本精选书的结合证明是非常有效的)”可知，上文提到了一种有效的方法，言下之意，作者推荐这种做法，A选项中it指代上文the combination of。A选项“我推荐”符合语境，故选A项。

第二节 （满分25分）
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。
During this past year, I’ve had three instances of car trouble. Each time these things happened, I was sick of the way most people hadn’t bothered to help. One of those times, I was on the side of the road for close to three hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows, big signs that said NEED A JACK (千斤顶), and offered money. Nothing. Right as I was about to give up, a Mexican family in a small truck pulled over, and the father bounded out.
He sized up the situation and called for his daughter, who spoke English. He conveyed through her that he had a jack but that it was too small for the Jeep, so we would need something to support it. Then he got a saw (锯子) from the truck and cut a section out of a big log on the side of the road. We rolled it over and put his jack on top, and we were in business.
I started taking the wheel off, and then, if you can believe it, I broke his tire iron. No worries: He handed it to his wife, and she was gone in a flash down the road to buy a new tire iron. She was back in 15 minutes. We finished the job, and I was a very happy man.
The two of us were dirty and sweaty. His wife prepared a pot of water for us to wash our hands. I tried to put a $20 bill in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up to the truck and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I asked the little girl where they lived. Mexico, she said. They were in Oregon so Mommy and Daddy could work on a fruit farm for the next few weeks. Then they would go home.

注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch.__________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________After they left, I got into my Jeep and opened the paper bag.______________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】
When I was about to say goodbye, the girl asked if I’d had lunch. I told her I hadn’t had lunch because I’d been waiting here for help for nearly three hours. The girl said they didn’t have lunch either. She suggested to her parents that we have lunch together. Their truck happened to have some food and some things for the picnic. So we ate together in a vacant lot by the side of the road. During that time, I told about what had happened to me and how I felt. They shared interesting stories about their lives in Mexico and on fruit farms. After lunch, the girl’s mother put a paper bag of fruit in my jeep. I showed my gratitude again and we said goodbye to each other.
After they left, I got into my jeep and opened the paper bag. There are some delicate fruits in the paper bag. I was surprised to find the money I had quietly left them. At the same time, there was a note written by a girl, which read “We are very happy to be able to help you. We have encountered many difficulties and been disappointed. But we met a lot of helpful people, which made us feel very warm. To help others with one’s own ability is also a kind of lifting a finger. The beauty of life comes from these lifting a finger. I hope you have a good life and a happy mood.” This made me very moved, and I would try my best to help more people in the future to make our world more beautiful and warmer.

②由第二段首句内容“在他们离开后，我上了吉普车，打开纸袋。”可知，第二段可描写作者在这一家人离开后，在纸袋里发现什么，以及自己的感受。
2.续写线索：吃午餐——交流——感谢——回家——发现东西——感悟

[高分句型2].But we met a lot of helpful people, which made us feel very warm.(由关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句)
[高分句型3] To help others with one’s own ability is also a kind of lifting a finger.(不定式做主语)
