Getting around in Canada is fairly easy.Most cities have urban transportation systems,including buses,streetcars,and trains,and some of the larger cities also have subways.
You can board these systems at regular stops along their routes.Some let you pay with cash;others require tickets.If you don’t have a ticket for the bus,you must pay with the right amount of money.This is because the driver does not carry any change.Once you get settled,you may want to buy a monthly pass or a package of tickets to save money.You can buy subway tickets at the subway station.
If you have to take several buses or the subway for a single trip,you do not need to pay any money each time.Simply ask the driver for a transfer,or pick one up from the machines on the subway platform.
If you are not sure where to board the bus or the streetcar,just ask someone,or follow the crowd.It’s usually at the front of the bus,where you show your pass to the driver.When using public transportation,Canadians line up.First come,first served,is a common approach to many activities in Canada.
Maps of routes and schedules are usually available from the public transit company in your area,and there may also be a telephone information line.You may want to ask someone for the name of the transit company where you live,and then look it up in your telephone book.
24.What does this passage mainly about?
A.How to use public transportation in Canada.
B.How to save money when traveling.
C.Where to find subways in larger cities.
D.How public transit companies work.

I went to a New York Mets fantasy camp in 1995,an incredible experience.I was fortunate to be on a team whose pitching coach was Mel Stottlemyre,the former Yankees star pitcher (投手)and Mets and Yankees coach.I was upset when Mel died of cancer on Jan.13,2018,at the age of 77.
He was warm,friendly and treated us as if we were major leagues.He asked me whether I would like to pitch and showed me how to throw a “two-seamer,” a fastball that tends to sink,as well as a straight four-seam fastball.I knew that pitching was not for me.At age 45,my experience in organizing baseball was limited to a couple of years in Little League in the Bronx,and softball games as an adult.Mel eventually left the Mets and became the pitching coach for the Yankees.I followed his career and knew about his diagnosis (诊断)of multiple myeloma,a blood cancer,in April 2000,and a stem cell transplant.
In the summer of 2002,I was diagnosed as multiple myeloma and was told that I needed a stem-cell transplant by the same group of doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center that had treated Mel.
This shocked me,and frankly,I became quite depressed.I vowed that somehow I would try to speak to Mel.One day,my phone rang.Mel was calling from the Yankees’ locker room.I asked him to tell me everything about his treatment.He spent 30 minutes generously explaining all the details.I hung on every word.He told me how well he was feeling and ended the conversation by giving me his home phone number!“I feel great,and I’m not retiring,” he told me.
This incredible experience lifted my spirits.Every time I saw Mel during games on TV as I awaited my transplant,I repeated to myself,“Look at Mel.If he can do it,so can I.”
28.Why did the author say he was lucky in paragraph 1?
A.He joined a famous team.
B.He met an unusual coach.
C.He was successfully cured.
D.He was chosen as a pitcher.
29.What do we know about the author?
A.He was not skilled in pitching.
B.He was a good baseball player.
C.He called Mel for his treatment.
D.He forgot what Mel had told him.
30.How old was Mel when he was diagnosed as multiple myeloma?
A.23. B.45. C.59. D.61.
31.What would be a suitable title for the text?
A.The Skills Taught by My Former Coach
B.The Transplant Given by the Same Doctors
C.My Baseball Team Helping Me Out
D.My Coach’s Spirits Shining on Me
D
While elephants born without tusks (长牙)are not unheard of,they normally form just 2 to 6 percent of the population.However,that is not the case at Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park,where an astonishing 33 percent of female elephants born after the country’s conflict ended in 1992 are tuskless.While that may appear to be just a coincidence,Joyce Poole,an elephant behavior expert,has another theory.The researcher thinks we may be witnessing unnatural evolution of the species due to the constant hunting of elephants for valuable ivory.
Poole says before the country’s 15-year-long conflict,the park was home to over 4,000 elephants.However,by the time the conflict ended in 1992,about 90 percent of them had been killed for ivory to get money.Of the less than 200 survivors,over 50 percent of adult females had no tusks.Therefore,it is not surprising that the park’s tuskless elephant population has grown greatly.
This is not the first time researchers have observed a great change in the population of elephants.At Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park and Lupande Game Management Area,areas which were heavily hunted in the 1970s and 1980s,35% of elephants 25 years old or older and 13% of those younger than 25 are now without tusks.A 2008 study published in the African Journal of Ecology found that the number of tuskless females at the Ruaha National Park in Tanzania went from 10.5 percent in 1969 to almost 40 percent in 1989,largely due to illegal hunting for ivory.
The recent ban on ivory in both the US and China should help get rid of,or at least reduce,elephant hunting.However,scientists are not sure how long it will take for elephants with a higher rate of tuskless females,to change the trend.
32.What is the probable cause of the phenomenon mentioned in paragraph 1?
A.Illegal hunting.
B.Constant farming.
C.A pure coincidence.
D.Natural evolution.
33.Why did people kill so many elephants during the conflict in Mozambique?
A.To get money by selling ivory.
B.To develop new decorations.
C.To provide food for local people.
D.To make ivory products.
34.Which of the following had the earliest record on tuskless elephants?
A.Gorongosa National Park.
B.South Luangwa National Park.
C.Ruaha National Park.
D.Lupande Game Management Area.
35.What does the underlined phrase “the trend” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Elephants facing greater danger.
B.Elephants growing more slowly.
C.Fewer female elephants staying alive.
D.More female elephants being tuskless.

Studying abroad is a worthwhile and often life-changing experience,but be sure to check out these 3 disadvantages of study abroad before you start planning.
Disadvantage 1: Cultural Barriers
Communication is essential to efficiency. 36 .It’s important to know the level of fluency that will be expected of you,both from your teachers and peers and the locals with whom you’ll be communicating abroad.
In addition,you may find yourself jolted(受挫)by the sudden shift in culture.Everything from food and religion to transportation systems and style of dress may differ from those in your home country. 37 .If you are not properly prepared to cope with these differences,they can lead to great stress.
Disadvantage 2: You’re on Your Own
Navigating a foreign destination on your own can be a frightening experience.Some of you may experience certain aspects of independence for the very first time. 38 .Because some of the worst symptoms of culture shock can result from the realization that you no longer have your friends and family alongside you,it’s important that you’re fully prepared for this transition.
Disadvantage 3: 39
Travel expenses,tuition,books,room and board,bills,transportation,and overall cost of living can add up quickly when living abroad. 40 .
Consider that you’ll likely want to go out and explore your new home in addition to studying,so be sure to set aside plenty of cash for tourism,transportation,and entertainment,as well as for emergencies.
A.Studying Abroad Is Expensive
B.Language barriers exist in every country
C.Make sure your study abroad college or program is accredited(可信任的)
D.Research cultural and regional norms and expectations before you go
E.This culture shock can lead to feelings of anxiety and homesickness
F.Depending on where you choose to study abroad,your expenses can vary greatly in cost
G.Perhaps you’ve never lived on your own or have yet to travel outside of your home country

Mom loves to use this story as an 50 .It reminds her that children don’t enter life afraid to take risks or unwilling to 51 again when they fall down.She never wanted me to lose that 52 as I grew older.When I made my major life decisions,I was still that little girl tearing full-speed across the lawn.I studied abroad and later moved away from my parents’ home to look for a 53 .Through years of 54 ,I have become a respected teacher in a school serving high-need students.
We are almost certain to get 55 at some point during the process of achieving our goal.When that happens,don’t sit in the grass and cry.Just get up and keep on going.It will all be worth it in the end.

As a sixth grader,I began noticing how other kids were separating into groups.I wasn’t sure where I belonged.I found it hard to fit in.
Our teacher had assigned“secret friends”for the coming week.She wrote each kid’s name on a piece of paper and threw them into a glass;then we each closed our eyes and drew the name of a classmate who we were to secretly befriend and support over the next five school days.By the middle of the week,everyone,including me,had turned this assignment into a contest to see whose secret friend could leave the best gift.We left cards,pens and even money.It seemed that everyone was getting cool presents from their friend except me.
On the last morning of our assignment,I walked into my classroom and noticed there was a package.I opened the wrapping paper and inside was a box of powder(胭脂粉).The girls sitting near me laughed the gift I had received.To make matters worse,the powder had already been opened.
I tried to forget about the embarrassing gift,but when I was in the bathroom during the break,the girls who had seen me open the powder started speaking ill of my secret friend of giving it to me.I quickly joined in“How terrible,”I heard myself saying“What could my friend be thinking by giving me such a stupid gift?My grandmother wouldn’t even want it.”The girls laughed at my remarks and rushed out of the bathroom.I stayed to wash my hands and let the water run through my fingers as I thought about what I had just said.It wasn’t normal like me to say mean things like that about someone.
Paragraph 1:
Then I saw my classmate Janet come out of a bathroom booth(厕所隔间),tears streaming down her face.

Paragraph 2:
Along with my apologies,I explained the reason.

Getting around in Canada is fairly easy.Most cities have urban transportation systems,including buses,streetcars,and trains,and some of the larger cities also have subways.
You can board these systems at regular stops along their routes.Some let you pay with cash;others require tickets.If you don’t have a ticket for the bus,you must pay with the right amount of money.This is because the driver does not carry any change.Once you get settled,you may want to buy a monthly pass or a package of tickets to save money.You can buy subway tickets at the subway station.
If you have to take several buses or the subway for a single trip,you do not need to pay any money each time.Simply ask the driver for a transfer,or pick one up from the machines on the subway platform.
If you are not sure where to board the bus or the streetcar,just ask someone,or follow the crowd.It’s usually at the front of the bus,where you show your pass to the driver.When using public transportation,Canadians line up.First come,first served,is a common approach to many activities in Canada.
Maps of routes and schedules are usually available from the public transit company in your area,and there may also be a telephone information line.You may want to ask someone for the name of the transit company where you live,and then look it up in your telephone book.

I went to a New York Mets fantasy camp in 1995,an incredible experience.I was fortunate to be on a team whose pitching coach was Mel Stottlemyre,the former Yankees star pitcher (投手)and Mets and Yankees coach.I was upset when Mel died of cancer on Jan.13,2018,at the age of 77.
He was warm,friendly and treated us as if we were major leagues.He asked me whether I would like to pitch and showed me how to throw a “two-seamer,” a fastball that tends to sink,as well as a straight four-seam fastball.I knew that pitching was not for me.At age 45,my experience in organizing baseball was limited to a couple of years in Little League in the Bronx,and softball games as an adult.Mel eventually left the Mets and became the pitching coach for the Yankees.I followed his career and knew about his diagnosis (诊断)of multiple myeloma,a blood cancer,in April 2000,and a stem cell transplant.
In the summer of 2002,I was diagnosed as multiple myeloma and was told that I needed a stem-cell transplant by the same group of doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center that had treated Mel.
This shocked me,and frankly,I became quite depressed.I vowed that somehow I would try to speak to Mel.One day,my phone rang.Mel was calling from the Yankees’ locker room.I asked him to tell me everything about his treatment.He spent 30 minutes generously explaining all the details.I hung on every word.He told me how well he was feeling and ended the conversation by giving me his home phone number!“I feel great,and I’m not retiring,” he told me.
This incredible experience lifted my spirits.Every time I saw Mel during games on TV as I awaited my transplant,I repeated to myself,“Look at Mel.If he can do it,so can I.”

While elephants born without tusks (长牙)are not unheard of,they normally form just 2 to 6 percent of the population.However,that is not the case at Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park,where an astonishing 33 percent of female elephants born after the country’s conflict ended in 1992 are tuskless.While that may appear to be just a coincidence,Joyce Poole,an elephant behavior expert,has another theory.The researcher thinks we may be witnessing unnatural evolution of the species due to the constant hunting of elephants for valuable ivory.
Poole says before the country’s 15-year-long conflict,the park was home to over 4,000 elephants.However,by the time the conflict ended in 1992,about 90 percent of them had been killed for ivory to get money.Of the less than 200 survivors,over 50 percent of adult females had no tusks.Therefore,it is not surprising that the park’s tuskless elephant population has grown greatly.
This is not the first time researchers have observed a great change in the population of elephants.At Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park and Lupande Game Management Area,areas which were heavily hunted in the 1970s and 1980s,35% of elephants 25 years old or older and 13% of those younger than 25 are now without tusks.A 2008 study published in the African Journal of Ecology found that the number of tuskless females at the Ruaha National Park in Tanzania went from 10.5 percent in 1969 to almost 40 percent in 1989,largely due to illegal hunting for ivory.
The recent ban on ivory in both the US and China should help get rid of,or at least reduce,elephant hunting.However,scientists are not sure how long it will take for elephants with a higher rate of tuskless females,to change the trend.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。1992年,在莫桑比克的Gorongosa国家公园,有33%的雌象出生时就没有长牙,大象行为专家认为,这是由人们为了获得珍贵的象牙而对大象进行持续不断的猎杀而造成的非自然的进化。
32.What is the probable cause of the phenomenon mentioned in paragraph 1?
A.Illegal hunting.
B.Constant farming.
C.A pure coincidence.
D.Natural evolution.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第一段尾句“The researcher thinks we may be witnessing unnatural evolution of the species due to the constant hunting of elephants for valuable ivory”可知,这位研究人员认为,由于持续不断地猎杀大象以获取珍贵的象牙,我们可能正在目睹该物种的非自然进化。据此可知,第一段中提到的现象的可能原因是非法猎杀大象,故A项正确。
33.Why did people kill so many elephants during the conflict in Mozambique?
A.To get money by selling ivory.
B.To develop new decorations.
C.To provide food for local people.
D.To make ivory products.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“However,by the time the conflict ended in 1992,about 90 percent of them had been killed for ivory to get money.”可知,人们猎杀大象是为了通过销售象牙来获利,故A项正确。
34.Which of the following had the earliest record on tuskless elephants?
A.Gorongosa National Park.
B.South Luangwa National Park.
C.Ruaha National Park.
D.Lupande Game Management Area.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知,在莫桑比克的Gorongosa国家公园,在1992年有33%的雌象出生时无长牙;根据第三段尾句可知,Ruaha国家公园在1969年有10.5%的无长牙雌象,到1989年时,有大约40%的无长牙雌象;据此可知,Ruaha国家公园是最早记录无长牙雌象的地区,故C项正确。
35.What does the underlined phrase “the trend” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Elephants facing greater danger.
B.Elephants growing more slowly.
C.Fewer female elephants staying alive.
D.More female elephants being tuskless.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据尾段第一句可知,最近美国和中国都颁布了象牙禁令,这应该有助于消除或至少减少对大象的猎杀;结合该段第二句可知,科学家们并不确定对拥有较高比例无长牙雌象的大象们来说需要多长时间才能改变这种趋势。据此可推知,画线词指代“更多的雌象没有长牙”这一趋势,故D项正确。

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。
Studying abroad is a worthwhile and often life-changing experience,but be sure to check out these 3 disadvantages of study abroad before you start planning.
Disadvantage 1: Cultural Barriers
Communication is essential to efficiency. 36 .It’s important to know the level of fluency that will be expected of you,both from your teachers and peers and the locals with whom you’ll be communicating abroad.
In addition,you may find yourself jolted(受挫)by the sudden shift in culture.Everything from food and religion to transportation systems and style of dress may differ from those in your home country. 37 .If you are not properly prepared to cope with these differences,they can lead to great stress.
Disadvantage 2: You’re on Your Own
Navigating a foreign destination on your own can be a frightening experience.Some of you may experience certain aspects of independence for the very first time. 38 .Because some of the worst symptoms of culture shock can result from the realization that you no longer have your friends and family alongside you,it’s important that you’re fully prepared for this transition.
Disadvantage 3: 39
Travel expenses,tuition,books,room and board,bills,transportation,and overall cost of living can add up quickly when living abroad. 40 .
Consider that you’ll likely want to go out and explore your new home in addition to studying,so be sure to set aside plenty of cash for tourism,transportation,and entertainment,as well as for emergencies.
A.Studying Abroad Is Expensive
B.Language barriers exist in every country
C.Make sure your study abroad college or program is accredited(可信任的)
D.Research cultural and regional norms and expectations before you go
E.This culture shock can lead to feelings of anxiety and homesickness
F.Depending on where you choose to study abroad,your expenses can vary greatly in cost
G.Perhaps you’ve never lived on your own or have yet to travel outside of your home country
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了到国外留学所面临的三个不利的情况:文化障碍;独自一人;高昂的费用。
36.B 前面提到“沟通的效率至关重要”,下文提到“了解你的沟通流利程度是重要的”,由此可知,此处谈论的是语言方面的障碍,所以选B项。
37.E 根据“所有的一切,从食物、宗教到交通和穿着的样式都与你自己的国家不同”可知,这里介绍的是文化冲击,所以选E项。
38.G 本部分说明的是“You’re on Your Own”,G项中的“Perhaps you’ve never lived on your own...”与此语意相符。
39.A 根据“Travel expenses...add up quickly”可知,在国外学习花费很大,所以选A项。
40.F 上文提到住在国外一切花费很快就堆积起来。F项“根据你选择到国外什么地方学习,花费的差别也很大”符合语境。

Mom loves to use this story as an 50 .It reminds her that children don’t enter life afraid to take risks or unwilling to 51 again when they fall down.She never wanted me to lose that 52 as I grew older.When I made my major life decisions,I was still that little girl tearing full-speed across the lawn.I studied abroad and later moved away from my parents’ home to look for a 53 .Through years of 54 ,I have become a respected teacher in a school serving high-need students.
We are almost certain to get 55 at some point during the process of achieving our goal.When that happens,don’t sit in the grass and cry.Just get up and keep on going.It will all be worth it in the end.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者先天失明,两岁时有一天趁妈妈无暇顾及之时,飞快地跑过草坪,却不小心撞到了一棵树上。跌倒后的作者并没有坐在原地哭泣,而是爬起来继续跑,并且以后再也没有撞到那棵树上。这种不怕冒险、遇到挫折仍勇于尝试的精神一直伴随着作者的生活、学习和工作。

解析根据第一段首句“I was born legally blind.”可知,作者先天失明,身边应该总有人照顾;再结合文中的关键词took advantage of,dash和fast可知,作者当时应该是趁大人不注意时,获得短暂的自由(freedom),一溜烟就跑开了。
45.A.landed B.slept C.laughed D.wept
答案A
解析 根据“I was running so fast that I bounced off the trunk”可知,作者跑得太快撞上树干后一屁股坐到地上。land on my backside意为“摔了个屁股蹲儿”。
46.A.promised B.encouraged
C.allowed D.expected
答案D
解析根据“but I just sat there for a minute”可知,妈妈以为(expected)作者会哭,但是作者没哭。
47.A.woke B.picked C.warmed D.gave
答案B
解析根据上文“I just sat there for a minute”和下文“kept right on going”,以及最后一段倒数第二句“Just get up and keep on going.”可知,此处应该是指从地上爬起来。pick oneself up 意为“(跌倒后)爬起来”。

As a sixth grader,I began noticing how other kids were separating into groups.I wasn’t sure where I belonged.I found it hard to fit in.
Our teacher had assigned“secret friends”for the coming week.She wrote each kid’s name on a piece of paper and threw them into a glass;then we each closed our eyes and drew the name of a classmate who we were to secretly befriend and support over the next five school days.By the middle of the week,everyone,including me,had turned this assignment into a contest to see whose secret friend could leave the best gift.We left cards,pens and even money.It seemed that everyone was getting cool presents from their friend except me.
On the last morning of our assignment,I walked into my classroom and noticed there was a package.I opened the wrapping paper and inside was a box of powder(胭脂粉).The girls sitting near me laughed the gift I had received.To make matters worse,the powder had already been opened.
I tried to forget about the embarrassing gift,but when I was in the bathroom during the break,the girls who had seen me open the powder started speaking ill of my secret friend of giving it to me.I quickly joined in“How terrible,”I heard myself saying“What could my friend be thinking by giving me such a stupid gift?My grandmother wouldn’t even want it.”The girls laughed at my remarks and rushed out of the bathroom.I stayed to wash my hands and let the water run through my fingers as I thought about what I had just said.It wasn’t normal like me to say mean things like that about someone.
Paragraph 1:
Then I saw my classmate Janet come out of a bathroom booth(厕所隔间),tears streaming down her face.

Paragraph 2:
Along with my apologies,I explained the reason.

Paragraph 1:
Then I saw my classmate Janet come out of a bathroom booth(厕所隔间),tears streaming down her face.She shouted at me with anger,“If you don’t want my gift,you can just leave it instead of laughing at it.This is the best powder from my mum!”Before I could say a word,Janet dashed out,leaving me dumb with deep regret.But soon I clenched my fingers and made up my mind to find Janet and say sorry to her.There she was,sitting in a tree shadow wiping her eyes.
Paragraph 2:
Along with my apologies,I explained the reason.I was not a mean girl by judging people’s presents.The reason why I complained in front of the girls was that I wanted to fit in,having a sense of belonging in the group.Hearing my sincere words,Janet calmed herself down after constant sobs and said,“True friendship comes from genuine care and love for each other.I think that’s our teacher’s intention of this ‘secret friend’ assignment.”That day,I learned to cherish real friendship.

Getting around in Canada is fairly easy.Most cities have urban transportation systems,including buses,streetcars,and trains,and some of the larger cities also have subways.
You can board these systems at regular stops along their routes.Some let you pay with cash;others require tickets.If you don’t have a ticket for the bus,you must pay with the right amount of money.This is because the driver does not carry any change.Once you get settled,you may want to buy a monthly pass or a package of tickets to save money.You can buy subway tickets at the subway station.
If you have to take several buses or the subway for a single trip,you do not need to pay any money each time.Simply ask the driver for a transfer,or pick one up from the machines on the subway platform.
If you are not sure where to board the bus or the streetcar,just ask someone,or follow the crowd.It’s usually at the front of the bus,where you show your pass to the driver.When using public transportation,Canadians line up.First come,first served,is a common approach to many activities in Canada.
Maps of routes and schedules are usually available from the public transit company in your area,and there may also be a telephone information line.You may want to ask someone for the name of the transit company where you live,and then look it up in your telephone book.
24.What does this passage mainly about?
A.How to use public transportation in Canada.
B.How to save money when traveling.

I went to a New York Mets fantasy camp in 1995,an incredible experience.I was fortunate to be on a team whose pitching coach was Mel Stottlemyre,the former Yankees star pitcher (投手)and Mets and Yankees coach.I was upset when Mel died of cancer on Jan.13,2018,at the age of 77.
He was warm,friendly and treated us as if we were major leagues.He asked me whether I would like to pitch and showed me how to throw a “two-seamer,” a fastball that tends to sink,as well as a straight four-seam fastball.I knew that pitching was not for me.At age 45,my experience in organizing baseball was limited to a couple of years in Little League in the Bronx,and softball games as an adult.Mel eventually left the Mets and became the pitching coach for the Yankees.I followed his career and knew about his diagnosis (诊断)of multiple myeloma,a blood cancer,in April 2000,and a stem cell transplant.
In the summer of 2002,I was diagnosed as multiple myeloma and was told that I needed a stem-cell transplant by the same group of doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center that had treated Mel.
This shocked me,and frankly,I became quite depressed.I vowed that somehow I would try to speak to Mel.One day,my phone rang.Mel was calling from the Yankees’ locker room.I asked him to tell me everything about his treatment.He spent 30 minutes generously explaining all the details.I hung on every word.He told me how well he was feeling and ended the conversation by giving me his home phone number!“I feel great,and I’m not retiring,” he told me.
This incredible experience lifted my spirits.Every time I saw Mel during games on TV as I awaited my transplant,I repeated to myself,“Look at Mel.If he can do it,so can I.”
28.Why did the author say he was lucky in paragraph 1?
A.He joined a famous team.
B.He met an unusual coach.
C.He was successfully cured.
D.He was chosen as a pitcher.
29.What do we know about the author?
A.He was not skilled in pitching.
B.He was a good baseball player.
C.He called Mel for his treatment.
D.He forgot what Mel had told him.
30.How old was Mel when he was diagnosed as multiple myeloma?
A.23. B.45. C.59. D.61.
31.What would be a suitable title for the text?
A.The Skills Taught by My Former Coach
B.The Transplant Given by the Same Doctors
C.My Baseball Team Helping Me Out
D.My Coach’s Spirits Shining on Me
D
While elephants born without tusks (长牙)are not unheard of,they normally form just 2 to 6 percent of the population.However,that is not the case at Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park,where an astonishing 33 percent of female elephants born after the country’s conflict ended in 1992 are tuskless.While that may appear to be just a coincidence,Joyce Poole,an elephant behavior expert,has another theory.The researcher thinks we may be witnessing unnatural evolution of the species due to the constant hunting of elephants for valuable ivory.
Poole says before the country’s 15-year-long conflict,the park was home to over 4,000 elephants.However,by the time the conflict ended in 1992,about 90 percent of them had been killed for ivory to get money.Of the less than 200 survivors,over 50 percent of adult females had no tusks.Therefore,it is not surprising that the park’s tuskless elephant population has grown greatly.
This is not the first time researchers have observed a great change in the population of elephants.At Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park and Lupande Game Management Area,areas which were heavily hunted in the 1970s and 1980s,35% of elephants 25 years old or older and 13% of those younger than 25 are now without tusks.A 2008 study published in the African Journal of Ecology found that the number of tuskless females at the Ruaha National Park in Tanzania went from 10.5 percent in 1969 to almost 40 percent in 1989,largely due to illegal hunting for ivory.
The recent ban on ivory in both the US and China should help get rid of,or at least reduce,elephant hunting.However,scientists are not sure how long it will take for elephants with a higher rate of tuskless females,to change the trend.
32.What is the probable cause of the phenomenon mentioned in paragraph 1?
A.Illegal hunting.
B.Constant farming.
C.A pure coincidence.
D.Natural evolution.
33.Why did people kill so many elephants during the conflict in Mozambique?
A.To get money by selling ivory.
B.To develop new decorations.
C.To provide food for local people.
D.To make ivory products.
34.Which of the following had the earliest record on tuskless elephants?
A.Gorongosa National Park.
B.South Luangwa National Park.
C.Ruaha National Park.
D.Lupande Game Management Area.
35.What does the underlined phrase “the trend” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Elephants facing greater danger.
B.Elephants growing more slowly.
C.Fewer female elephants staying alive.
D.More female elephants being tuskless.

Studying abroad is a worthwhile and often life-changing experience,but be sure to check out these 3 disadvantages of study abroad before you start planning.
Disadvantage 1: Cultural Barriers
Communication is essential to efficiency. 36 .It’s important to know the level of fluency that will be expected of you,both from your teachers and peers and the locals with whom you’ll be communicating abroad.
In addition,you may find yourself jolted(受挫)by the sudden shift in culture.Everything from food and religion to transportation systems and style of dress may differ from those in your home country. 37 .If you are not properly prepared to cope with these differences,they can lead to great stress.
Disadvantage 2: You’re on Your Own
Navigating a foreign destination on your own can be a frightening experience.Some of you may experience certain aspects of independence for the very first time. 38 .Because some of the worst symptoms of culture shock can result from the realization that you no longer have your friends and family alongside you,it’s important that you’re fully prepared for this transition.
Disadvantage 3: 39
Travel expenses,tuition,books,room and board,bills,transportation,and overall cost of living can add up quickly when living abroad. 40 .
Consider that you’ll likely want to go out and explore your new home in addition to studying,so be sure to set aside plenty of cash for tourism,transportation,and entertainment,as well as for emergencies.
A.Studying Abroad Is Expensive
B.Language barriers exist in every country
C.Make sure your study abroad college or program is accredited(可信任的)
D.Research cultural and regional norms and expectations before you go
E.This culture shock can lead to feelings of anxiety and homesickness
F.Depending on where you choose to study abroad,your expenses can vary greatly in cost
G.Perhaps you’ve never lived on your own or have yet to travel outside of your home country

Mom loves to use this story as an 50 .It reminds her that children don’t enter life afraid to take risks or unwilling to 51 again when they fall down.She never wanted me to lose that 52 as I grew older.When I made my major life decisions,I was still that little girl tearing full-speed across the lawn.I studied abroad and later moved away from my parents’ home to look for a 53 .Through years of 54 ,I have become a respected teacher in a school serving high-need students.

As a sixth grader,I began noticing how other kids were separating into groups.I wasn’t sure where I belonged.I found it hard to fit in.
Our teacher had assigned“secret friends”for the coming week.She wrote each kid’s name on a piece of paper and threw them into a glass;then we each closed our eyes and drew the name of a classmate who we were to secretly befriend and support over the next five school days.By the middle of the week,everyone,including me,had turned this assignment into a contest to see whose secret friend could leave the best gift.We left cards,pens and even money.It seemed that everyone was getting cool presents from their friend except me.
On the last morning of our assignment,I walked into my classroom and noticed there was a package.I opened the wrapping paper and inside was a box of powder(胭脂粉).The girls sitting near me laughed the gift I had received.To make matters worse,the powder had already been opened.
I tried to forget about the embarrassing gift,but when I was in the bathroom during the break,the girls who had seen me open the powder started speaking ill of my secret friend of giving it to me.I quickly joined in“How terrible,”I heard myself saying“What could my friend be thinking by giving me such a stupid gift?My grandmother wouldn’t even want it.”The girls laughed at my remarks and rushed out of the bathroom.I stayed to wash my hands and let the water run through my fingers as I thought about what I had just said.It wasn’t normal like me to say mean things like that about someone.
Paragraph 1:
Then I saw my classmate Janet come out of a bathroom booth(厕所隔间),tears streaming down her face.

Getting around in Canada is fairly easy.Most cities have urban transportation systems,including buses,streetcars,and trains,and some of the larger cities also have subways.
You can board these systems at regular stops along their routes.Some let you pay with cash;others require tickets.If you don’t have a ticket for the bus,you must pay with the right amount of money.This is because the driver does not carry any change.Once you get settled,you may want to buy a monthly pass or a package of tickets to save money.You can buy subway tickets at the subway station.
If you have to take several buses or the subway for a single trip,you do not need to pay any money each time.Simply ask the driver for a transfer,or pick one up from the machines on the subway platform.
If you are not sure where to board the bus or the streetcar,just ask someone,or follow the crowd.It’s usually at the front of the bus,where you show your pass to the driver.When using public transportation,Canadians line up.First come,first served,is a common approach to many activities in Canada.
Maps of routes and schedules are usually available from the public transit company in your area,and there may also be a telephone information line.You may want to ask someone for the name of the transit company where you live,and then look it up in your telephone book.

I went to a New York Mets fantasy camp in 1995,an incredible experience.I was fortunate to be on a team whose pitching coach was Mel Stottlemyre,the former Yankees star pitcher (投手)and Mets and Yankees coach.I was upset when Mel died of cancer on Jan.13,2018,at the age of 77.
He was warm,friendly and treated us as if we were major leagues.He asked me whether I would like to pitch and showed me how to throw a “two-seamer,” a fastball that tends to sink,as well as a straight four-seam fastball.I knew that pitching was not for me.At age 45,my experience in organizing baseball was limited to a couple of years in Little League in the Bronx,and softball games as an adult.Mel eventually left the Mets and became the pitching coach for the Yankees.I followed his career and knew about his diagnosis (诊断)of multiple myeloma,a blood cancer,in April 2000,and a stem cell transplant.
In the summer of 2002,I was diagnosed as multiple myeloma and was told that I needed a stem-cell transplant by the same group of doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center that had treated Mel.
This shocked me,and frankly,I became quite depressed.I vowed that somehow I would try to speak to Mel.One day,my phone rang.Mel was calling from the Yankees’ locker room.I asked him to tell me everything about his treatment.He spent 30 minutes generously explaining all the details.I hung on every word.He told me how well he was feeling and ended the conversation by giving me his home phone number!“I feel great,and I’m not retiring,” he told me.
This incredible experience lifted my spirits.Every time I saw Mel during games on TV as I awaited my transplant,I repeated to myself,“Look at Mel.If he can do it,so can I.”

While elephants born without tusks (长牙)are not unheard of,they normally form just 2 to 6 percent of the population.However,that is not the case at Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park,where an astonishing 33 percent of female elephants born after the country’s conflict ended in 1992 are tuskless.While that may appear to be just a coincidence,Joyce Poole,an elephant behavior expert,has another theory.The researcher thinks we may be witnessing unnatural evolution of the species due to the constant hunting of elephants for valuable ivory.
Poole says before the country’s 15-year-long conflict,the park was home to over 4,000 elephants.However,by the time the conflict ended in 1992,about 90 percent of them had been killed for ivory to get money.Of the less than 200 survivors,over 50 percent of adult females had no tusks.Therefore,it is not surprising that the park’s tuskless elephant population has grown greatly.
This is not the first time researchers have observed a great change in the population of elephants.At Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park and Lupande Game Management Area,areas which were heavily hunted in the 1970s and 1980s,35% of elephants 25 years old or older and 13% of those younger than 25 are now without tusks.A 2008 study published in the African Journal of Ecology found that the number of tuskless females at the Ruaha National Park in Tanzania went from 10.5 percent in 1969 to almost 40 percent in 1989,largely due to illegal hunting for ivory.
The recent ban on ivory in both the US and China should help get rid of,or at least reduce,elephant hunting.However,scientists are not sure how long it will take for elephants with a higher rate of tuskless females,to change the trend.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。1992年,在莫桑比克的Gorongosa国家公园,有33%的雌象出生时就没有长牙,大象行为专家认为,这是由人们为了获得珍贵的象牙而对大象进行持续不断的猎杀而造成的非自然的进化。
32.What is the probable cause of the phenomenon mentioned in paragraph 1?
A.Illegal hunting.
B.Constant farming.
C.A pure coincidence.
D.Natural evolution.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第一段尾句“The researcher thinks we may be witnessing unnatural evolution of the species due to the constant hunting of elephants for valuable ivory”可知,这位研究人员认为,由于持续不断地猎杀大象以获取珍贵的象牙,我们可能正在目睹该物种的非自然进化。据此可知,第一段中提到的现象的可能原因是非法猎杀大象,故A项正确。
33.Why did people kill so many elephants during the conflict in Mozambique?
A.To get money by selling ivory.
B.To develop new decorations.
C.To provide food for local people.
D.To make ivory products.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“However,by the time the conflict ended in 1992,about 90 percent of them had been killed for ivory to get money.”可知,人们猎杀大象是为了通过销售象牙来获利,故A项正确。
34.Which of the following had the earliest record on tuskless elephants?
A.Gorongosa National Park.
B.South Luangwa National Park.
C.Ruaha National Park.
D.Lupande Game Management Area.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知,在莫桑比克的Gorongosa国家公园,在1992年有33%的雌象出生时无长牙;根据第三段尾句可知,Ruaha国家公园在1969年有10.5%的无长牙雌象,到1989年时,有大约40%的无长牙雌象;据此可知,Ruaha国家公园是最早记录无长牙雌象的地区,故C项正确。
35.What does the underlined phrase “the trend” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Elephants facing greater danger.
B.Elephants growing more slowly.
C.Fewer female elephants staying alive.
D.More female elephants being tuskless.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据尾段第一句可知,最近美国和中国都颁布了象牙禁令,这应该有助于消除或至少减少对大象的猎杀;结合该段第二句可知,科学家们并不确定对拥有较高比例无长牙雌象的大象们来说需要多长时间才能改变这种趋势。据此可推知,画线词指代“更多的雌象没有长牙”这一趋势,故D项正确。

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。
Studying abroad is a worthwhile and often life-changing experience,but be sure to check out these 3 disadvantages of study abroad before you start planning.
Disadvantage 1: Cultural Barriers
Communication is essential to efficiency. 36 .It’s important to know the level of fluency that will be expected of you,both from your teachers and peers and the locals with whom you’ll be communicating abroad.
In addition,you may find yourself jolted(受挫)by the sudden shift in culture.Everything from food and religion to transportation systems and style of dress may differ from those in your home country. 37 .If you are not properly prepared to cope with these differences,they can lead to great stress.
Disadvantage 2: You’re on Your Own
Navigating a foreign destination on your own can be a frightening experience.Some of you may experience certain aspects of independence for the very first time. 38 .Because some of the worst symptoms of culture shock can result from the realization that you no longer have your friends and family alongside you,it’s important that you’re fully prepared for this transition.
Disadvantage 3: 39
Travel expenses,tuition,books,room and board,bills,transportation,and overall cost of living can add up quickly when living abroad. 40 .
Consider that you’ll likely want to go out and explore your new home in addition to studying,so be sure to set aside plenty of cash for tourism,transportation,and entertainment,as well as for emergencies.
A.Studying Abroad Is Expensive
B.Language barriers exist in every country
C.Make sure your study abroad college or program is accredited(可信任的)
D.Research cultural and regional norms and expectations before you go
E.This culture shock can lead to feelings of anxiety and homesickness
F.Depending on where you choose to study abroad,your expenses can vary greatly in cost
G.Perhaps you’ve never lived on your own or have yet to travel outside of your home country
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了到国外留学所面临的三个不利的情况:文化障碍;独自一人;高昂的费用。
36.B 前面提到“沟通的效率至关重要”,下文提到“了解你的沟通流利程度是重要的”,由此可知,此处谈论的是语言方面的障碍,所以选B项。
37.E 根据“所有的一切,从食物、宗教到交通和穿着的样式都与你自己的国家不同”可知,这里介绍的是文化冲击,所以选E项。
38.G 本部分说明的是“You’re on Your Own”,G项中的“Perhaps you’ve never lived on your own...”与此语意相符。
39.A 根据“Travel expenses...add up quickly”可知,在国外学习花费很大,所以选A项。
40.F 上文提到住在国外一切花费很快就堆积起来。F项“根据你选择到国外什么地方学习,花费的差别也很大”符合语境。

Mom loves to use this story as an 50 .It reminds her that children don’t enter life afraid to take risks or unwilling to 51 again when they fall down.She never wanted me to lose that 52 as I grew older.When I made my major life decisions,I was still that little girl tearing full-speed across the lawn.I studied abroad and later moved away from my parents’ home to look for a 53 .Through years of 54 ,I have become a respected teacher in a school serving high-need students.
We are almost certain to get 55 at some point during the process of achieving our goal.When that happens,don’t sit in the grass and cry.Just get up and keep on going.It will all be worth it in the end.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者先天失明,两岁时有一天趁妈妈无暇顾及之时,飞快地跑过草坪,却不小心撞到了一棵树上。跌倒后的作者并没有坐在原地哭泣,而是爬起来继续跑,并且以后再也没有撞到那棵树上。这种不怕冒险、遇到挫折仍勇于尝试的精神一直伴随着作者的生活、学习和工作。

解析根据第一段首句“I was born legally blind.”可知,作者先天失明,身边应该总有人照顾;再结合文中的关键词took advantage of,dash和fast可知,作者当时应该是趁大人不注意时,获得短暂的自由(freedom),一溜烟就跑开了。
45.A.landed B.slept C.laughed D.wept
答案A
解析 根据“I was running so fast that I bounced off the trunk”可知,作者跑得太快撞上树干后一屁股坐到地上。land on my backside意为“摔了个屁股蹲儿”。
46.A.promised B.encouraged
C.allowed D.expected
答案D
解析根据“but I just sat there for a minute”可知,妈妈以为(expected)作者会哭,但是作者没哭。
47.A.woke B.picked C.warmed D.gave
答案B
解析根据上文“I just sat there for a minute”和下文“kept right on going”,以及最后一段倒数第二句“Just get up and keep on going.”可知,此处应该是指从地上爬起来。pick oneself up 意为“(跌倒后)爬起来”。

As a sixth grader,I began noticing how other kids were separating into groups.I wasn’t sure where I belonged.I found it hard to fit in.
Our teacher had assigned“secret friends”for the coming week.She wrote each kid’s name on a piece of paper and threw them into a glass;then we each closed our eyes and drew the name of a classmate who we were to secretly befriend and support over the next five school days.By the middle of the week,everyone,including me,had turned this assignment into a contest to see whose secret friend could leave the best gift.We left cards,pens and even money.It seemed that everyone was getting cool presents from their friend except me.
On the last morning of our assignment,I walked into my classroom and noticed there was a package.I opened the wrapping paper and inside was a box of powder(胭脂粉).The girls sitting near me laughed the gift I had received.To make matters worse,the powder had already been opened.
I tried to forget about the embarrassing gift,but when I was in the bathroom during the break,the girls who had seen me open the powder started speaking ill of my secret friend of giving it to me.I quickly joined in“How terrible,”I heard myself saying“What could my friend be thinking by giving me such a stupid gift?My grandmother wouldn’t even want it.”The girls laughed at my remarks and rushed out of the bathroom.I stayed to wash my hands and let the water run through my fingers as I thought about what I had just said.It wasn’t normal like me to say mean things like that about someone.
Paragraph 1:
Then I saw my classmate Janet come out of a bathroom booth(厕所隔间),tears streaming down her face.

Paragraph 2:
Along with my apologies,I explained the reason.

Paragraph 1:
Then I saw my classmate Janet come out of a bathroom booth(厕所隔间),tears streaming down her face.She shouted at me with anger,“If you don’t want my gift,you can just leave it instead of laughing at it.This is the best powder from my mum!”Before I could say a word,Janet dashed out,leaving me dumb with deep regret.But soon I clenched my fingers and made up my mind to find Janet and say sorry to her.There she was,sitting in a tree shadow wiping her eyes.
Paragraph 2:
Along with my apologies,I explained the reason.I was not a mean girl by judging people’s presents.The reason why I complained in front of the girls was that I wanted to fit in,having a sense of belonging in the group.Hearing my sincere words,Janet calmed herself down after constant sobs and said,“True friendship comes from genuine care and love for each other.I think that’s our teacher’s intention of this ‘secret friend’ assignment.”That day,I learned to cherish real friendship.
