M: So that’s Meitu? I heard my co-workers talking about it. No, I don’t want to try it. You should stop playing with it, too.
W: Why? What’s wrong with it?
M: First of all, you spend too much time looking at your phone anyway. You should be out playing with your friends.
W: But my friends are also using Meitu. We send each other pictures all day.
M: Whatever happened to playing ball games? Or board games? Or just sitting around talking? I think your generation isn’t as smart as it should be. But there is another reason I don’t want that app on your phone.
W: Really, Dad? Do I have to delete it?
M: It’s a safety reason, dear. You know I work in an Internet security firm. My colleagues are getting more concerned about the apps their children use. They say people use their phones to store too much information. Meitu is the newest one they’re worried about.
W: But everyone else is using it!
M: I’m just worried for my little girl.
W: Sometimes I wish you were a doctor or a banker.

It was a dark night. Thick, dark, gray clouds had made sure that there was no starlight or moonlight to greet me as I walked out on my porch. Still, I kept the porch light off because I didn’t want to be surrounded by bugs and moths (飞蛾) on this sticky summer evening. I stood there for a while letting my eyes adjust to the lack of light. My dog stood beside me waiting patiently for me to start her walk. It was then, though, that I saw them. First one blink of light at the far end of the meadow was followed by another and then another. I smiled. I recognized them at once as my firefly friends, who always showed up this time of the year.
I got so much joy watching them first as a child and then as an adult. They never became dull or boring and they always filled me with delight. When I was little I used to sit in the grass and watch them slowly fly around blinking on and off. I never caught and put one in a jar as some kids did because I was afraid I might kill it and I never wanted to hurt these messengers (信使) of light. Their time on this earth was so brief as it was. l tried to enjoy them each night they were here. It always saddened me when they disappeared in the fall and it always made my heart sing when they reappeared the next summer.
I think I enjoy these little fireflies so much because I can see that we are like them in a lot of ways. Our time here on earth is brief. Often our light and love are more like on and off blinks rather than a steady shine. Let’s share our light and love while we are here then.
24. Why did the author turn off his porch light?
A. To walk his dog. B. To adapt to surroundings.
C. To avoid some insects. D. To greet special friends.
25. What can we know about fireflies?
A. They always saddened the author. B. Most kids caught and killed them.
C. The author watched them every night. D. They usually brightened the author.
26. What does the author mainly want to convey through the story?
A. Value our short life in the world.
B. Protect fireflies as well as possible.
C. Devote ourselves as much as possible.
D. Share as many inspiring stories as possible.
27. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Human’s Best Friends B. Messengers of Light
C. A Special Summer Night D. Fireflies — Shinning Forever
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者在黑暗的夏夜中行走，又遇到熟悉的萤火虫朋友。作者喜欢萤火虫在夏夜给人们带来了亮光，它们虽然在世间的时间短暂，但是却给人们带来了宝贵的亮光。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Still, I kept the porch light off because I didn’t want to be surrounded by bugs and moths (飞蛾) on this sticky summer evening.(尽管如此，我还是把门廊的灯关了，因为我不想在这个闷热的夏夜被虫子和飞蛾包围)”可知，作者关掉门厅灯是因为不想受到小虫子和飞蛾的围绕扰。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“I got so much joy watching them first as a child and then as an adult. They never became dull or boring and they always filled me with delight. (当我还是个孩子，然后是成年人的时候，我看到了很多乐趣。它们从未变得沉闷或乏味，它们总是让我充满喜悦)”可知，作者很喜欢观察它们，它们总是给作者带来欢乐。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段内容，特别是“Let’s share our light and love while we are here then. (让我们在这里分享我们的光和爱)”可知，作者写本篇文章的目的就是建议我们要和萤火虫一样，虽然是短暂地发出亮光，但是我们也要在有限的时间里尽量分享出我们的光和爱。故选C。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文可知，作者喜欢萤火虫在夏夜给人们带来了亮光，它们虽然在世间的时间短暂，但是却给人们带来了宝贵的亮光，为光之使者。故B项标题“Messengers of Light(光的信使)”最能体现出文章作者的用意和萤火虫的特点。故选B。

If we want a fair shot at transitioning to renewable energy, we’ll need one critical thing: technologies that can change electricity from wind and sun into a chemical fuel for storage and vice versa. Commercial devices that do this exist, but most are costly and perform only half of the expectation. Now, researchers have created small lab-scale devices that do both jobs. If larger versions work as well, they would help make it possible—or at least more affordable—to run the world on renewables.
The market for such technologies has grown along with renewables: In 2007, solar and wind provided just 0.8% of all power in the United States; in 2017, that number was 8%, according to the U. S. Energy Information Administration. But the demand for electricity often doesn’t match the supply from solar and wind. In sunny California, for example, solar panels regularly produce more power than needed in the middle of the day, but none at night, after most workers and students return home.
Some companies are beginning to install massive rows of batteries in hopes of storing extra energy and balancing the financial sheet. But batteries are costly and store only enough energy to back up the power system for a few hours at most. Another option is to store the energy by transforming it into hydrogen fuel. Devices called electrolyzers do this by using electricity—ideally from solar and wind power—to break down water into oxygen and hydrogen gas, a carbon-free fuel. A second set of devices called fuel cells can then transform that hydrogen back to electricity to power cars, trucks, and buses, or to feed it to the power system. But commercial electrolyzers and fuel cells use different catalysts to speed up the two reactions, meaning a single device can’t do both jobs. The researchers must conquer this.
“They did a really good job with that.” says Sossina Haile, a chemist at Northwestern University in Evanston. Still, she holds the view that both her new device and the one from the O’Hayre lab are small laboratory demonstrations. For the technology to have a greater impact in society, researchers will need to scale up the button-size devices, a process that typically reduces performance.
28. What can we learn about the new device from the first paragraph?
A. Its universal use remains to be seen. B. It is more expensive but more practical.
C. It can transform more renewable energy. D. It is the most advanced around the world.
29. Why does the author use data and example in paragraph 2?
A. To show the rapid development of American technologies.
B. To emphasize the potential market for energy transformation technologies.
C. To indicate solar panels works better in the middle of the day than at night.
D. To warn us of the imbalanced demand and supply of electricity in California.
30 What may the researchers focus on next?
A. Lessening costly batteries.
B. Increasing the efficiency of the two reactions.
C. Looking for one shared catalyst for the two reactions.
D. Transforming solar and wind power into hydrogen fuel.
31. What is Haile’s attitude to the future of the new device?
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Critical. D. Cautious.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍一种能够转化可再生能源的新装置，介绍了这一装置的优势和仍然需要克服的问题。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Now, researchers have created small lab-scale devices that do both jobs. If larger versions work as well, they would help make it possible—or at least more affordable—to run the world on renewables.(现在，研究人员已经创造出了同时具备这两种功能的实验室规模的设备。如果更大的版本也能发挥作用，它们将有助于使世界上使用可再生能源成为可能——或者至少更经济实惠)”可推知，这种新装置大规模地投入使用还有待观察。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The market for such technologies has grown along with renewables: In 2007, solar and wind provided just 0.8% of all power in the United States; in 2017, that number was 8%, according to the U. S. Energy Information Administration. But the demand for electricity often doesn’t match the supply from solar and wind. In sunny California, for example, solar panels regularly produce more power than needed in the middle of the day, but none at night, after most workers and students return home.(这种技术的市场已经随着可再生能源的发展而增长：在2007年，太阳能和风能提供的电力仅占美国全部电力的0.8%；根据美国能源信息管理局的数据，2017年，这个数字是8%。但对电力的需求往往与太阳能和风能的供应不匹配。例如，在阳光明媚的加州，太阳能电池板在白天经常生产超过需要的电力，但在晚上，在大多数工人和学生回家后，却没有电)”可推知，作者在第二段中使用数据和例子是为了强调能源转化技术的潜在市场。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“But commercial electrolyzers and fuel cells use different catalysts to speed up the two reactions, meaning a single device can’t do both jobs. The researchers must conquer this.(但商用电解槽和燃料电池使用不同的催化剂来加速这两种反应，这意味着一个设备不能同时完成这两项工作。研究人员必须克服这一点)”可推知，接下来研究人员会主攻这两种反应能够共用的催化剂。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Still, she holds the view that both her new device and the one from the O’Hayre lab are small laboratory demonstrations. For the technology to have a greater impact in society, researchers will need to scale up the button-size devices, a process that typically reduces performance.(尽管如此，她仍然认为她的新设备和O’Hayre实验室的设备都是小型实验室演示。要让这项技术在社会上产生更大的影响，研究人员需要扩大按键大小的设备，这一过程通常会降低性能)”可推知，Haile对这个新装置的未来持谨慎的态度。故选D。
D
Scientists often compare coral reefs (珊瑚礁) to underwater rainforests, yet unlike the leafy plant base of a forest, corals are animals. The soft creatures are naturally half-transparent and get their brilliant color from algae (藻类) living inside them. When corals experience stress from hot temperatures or pollution, they halt the interdependent relationship with algae, typically pushing them out and turning white. Corals are still alive when they are white, but they’re at risk and many eventually die, turning dark brown.
Scientists around the world are looking for means to protect and maybe increase corals. One common option is to create more protected areas — essentially national parks in the ocean. Beyond nature preserves, some conservationists are looking for more hands-on methods. One research center in the Florida Keys is exploring a form of natural selection to keep corals remaining. The reef system in the Keys has been hit hard by climate change and pollution, which is especially tough, because corals there help support fisheries worth $ 100 million every year.
To keep the wild ecosystem alive, Erinn Muller, the center’s director, and her team are harvesting samples of the corals that survived the environmental stress naturally, keeping them to make them reproduce, and then reattaching them to the reef. They have 46,000 corals on plastic frames under the sea. So far, the center has regrown over 70,000 corals from five different species on damaged reefs.
In the Bahamas, Ross Cunning, a research biologist at Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium, focuses on corals with genes that could make them natural candidates for restoration projects. He published a study of two Bahamian reefs, one that survived an extreme 2015 heat wave, and one that didn’t. “We think their ability to deal with these higher temperatures is built into their genes,” says Cunning. There’s evidence of corals evolving more quickly to resist rapidly warming climate. The big question scientists need to investigate, adds Gunning, is how much more heat corals can adapt to.
32. What does the underlined word “halt” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Weaken. B. Develop. C. Strengthen. D. End.
33. What do Muller and her team do to save corals?
A. Restore the damaged reefs. B. Grow corals underwater.
C. Create more protected areas. D. Move corals to unpolluted areas.
34. What do Cunning’s words suggest?
A. Many corals have been genetically improved.
B. Cooling down the waters is the key to rescuing corals.
C. The highest temperature corals can survive is unclear.
D. Reasons for corals surviving heat waves need investigation.
35. Which is the text mainly about?
A. The efforts made to save corals.
B. The impact of climate warming on corals.
C. The survival crisis faced by coral reefs.
D. The relationship between corals and algae.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文，介绍了科学家们为保护珊瑚而做出的努力。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“The soft creatures are naturally half-transparent and get their brilliant color from algae (藻类) living inside them. (这种柔软的生物天生是半透明的，它们鲜艳的颜色来自于体内的藻类。)”可知，珊瑚的颜色来自藻类，当珊瑚受到高温或污染的压力时，它们会停止与藻类的相互依赖关系，通常会将它们赶出体内，然后变成白色，由此可知画线词词义为“结束、停止”，故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“To keep the wild ecosystem alive, Erinn Muller, the center’s director, and her team are harvesting samples of the corals that survived the environmental stress naturally, keeping them to make them reproduce, and then reattaching them to the reef. They have 46,000 corals on plastic frames under the sea. So far, the center has regrown over 70,000 corals from five different species on damaged reefs. (为了保持野生生态系统的活力，该中心主任Erinn Muller和她的团队正在收集那些在环境压力下自然存活下来的珊瑚样本，让它们繁殖，然后将它们重新附着在珊瑚礁上。他们在海底的塑料框架上有46000个珊瑚。到目前为止，该中心已经在受损的珊瑚礁上重新生长了超过7万个不同种类的珊瑚)”可知，为了保护生态系统和珊瑚，Erinn Muller和她的团队在海底的塑料框架上种珊瑚。故选B项。
【34题详解】

California will be the first state to ban the sale and manufacture of new fur products.___36___It will go into effect on January 1, 2023.
California’s fur law was one of several bills designed to prevent cruelty to animals. “California is a leader when it comes to animal protection and today that leadership includes banning the sale of fur, ” said Governor Newsom in a news report. “___37___We are making a statement to the world that beautiful wild animals like bears and tigers have no place on trapeze (高空秋千) wires or jumping through flames.”___38___More than a dozen European countries, including the United Kingdom, Austria, Norway and the Netherlands have also passed laws to limit the fur trade.
____39____“The signing of the ban shows the point that today’s customers simply don’t want wild animals to suffer extreme pain and fear while keeping up with the fashion,” said Kitty Block, president and CEO of The Humane Society of the United States and president of Humane Society International. Not everyone, however, was pleased with the ban. Banning the killing of animals for their fur means killing the fur business, says Hyatt, an owner of a fur store.___40___
Many retailers are also ending fur sales. In mid-October, Macy’s (American’s department store) announced it will stop fur from all its stores by the end of 2020. The stores will also close all fur vaults and salons. Other fashion brands such as Prada, Gucci, Michael Kors and Burberry have taken similar steps in recent years.
A. But we are doing more than that.
B. California is taking the lead in protecting animals.
C. Similar laws have been carried out globally already.
D. And that in turn will leave many people unemployed.
E. Two other California cities had already banned fur sales.
F. Not surprisingly, the ban is welcomed by animal rights activists.
G. The ban applies to clothing, shoes, handbags and other things that contain fur.
【答案】36. G 37. A 38. C 39. F 40. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍了加州通过了一项禁止销售和生产新毛皮产品的法律及对其实施后可能出现的问题的探讨。
【详解】1.结合空白处前“California will be the first state to ban the sale and manufacture of new fur products.”加州将是第一个禁止销售和生产新毛皮产品的州。可以推断，接下来讲述的是这个禁令会应用于哪些产品上。选项G."The ban applies to clothing, shoes, handbags and other things that contain fur."该禁令适用于服装、鞋子、手提包和其它含有毛皮的物品。和文意相符合，故选G。
2.结合本段中“California is a leader when it comes to animal protection and today that leadership includes banning the sale of fur, ”加利福尼亚州在动物保护方面处于领先地位，如今，这一领导地位包括禁止销售毛皮，可知，加州在动物保护方面所做的措施增加了禁止销售毛皮的细节；根据空白处后一句“We are making a statement to the world that beautiful wild animals like bears and tigers have no place on trapeze (高空秋千) wires or jumping through flames.”我们正在向世界宣告，像熊和老虎这样珍贵的野生动物，不应该出现在空中飞人的钢丝上，也不应该在火焰中跳跃。可以推断，空白处论述的是在单纯的禁止销售毛皮措施外，加州也想全世界宣告保护野生动物的重要性。选项A.“But we are doing more than that.”但我们做的远不止这些。符合文意，故选A。
3.结合空白处后一句“More than a dozen European countries, including the United Kingdom, Austria, Norway and the Netherlands have also passed laws to limit the fur trade.”十多个欧洲国家，包括英国，奥地利，挪威和荷兰，也通过了限制毛皮贸易的法律。可以推断，空白处的内容为除了加州之外，还有国家也通过了类似的法律。选项C.“Similar laws have been carried out globally already”.类似的法律已经在全球范围内实施。符合文意，故选C。
4.结合空白处后表示转折的细节“Not everyone, however, was pleased with the ban.”然而，并不是每个人都对禁令感到满意。通过对比可知，本句之前讲述的细节是对于这个禁令赞同的人们。作为段首的句子，应为对赞同作概括。选项F.“Not surprisingly, the ban is welcomed by animal rights activists.”毫不奇怪，这项禁令受到动物权利保护者的欢迎。和空白处后的细节形成呼应。故选F。
5.结合空白处前“Banning the killing of animals for their fur means killing the fur business,”禁止猎杀动物获取毛皮意味着扼杀毛皮生意，可知接下来，作为顺承关系，理应讲到的是没有这种生意之后的其他结果，选项D.“And that in turn will leave many people unemployed.”这反过来会导致很多人失业。符合文意，故选D。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了张家界国家公园。
【56题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：张家界是一个我们一定要去的地方。分析句子可知，此句为限定性定语从句，先行词为a place，在从句中作宾语，应用关系代词that或which引导。故填that或which。
【57题详解】
考查冠词。句意：张家界国家森林公园现已被联合国教科文组织列为世界文化遗产，这里的旅游业蓬勃发展，刺激了经济增长，并为当地人提供了大量就业机会。根据“UNESCO World Heritage site”可知，此处表泛指，应该填写不定冠词，UNESCO首字母是辅音音素，应用a。故填a。
【58题详解】
考查形容词。句意：张家界国家森林公园现已被联合国教科文组织列为世界文化遗产，这里的旅游业蓬勃发展，刺激了经济增长，并为当地人提供了大量就业机会。根据“growth”可知，此空应该填形容词，作定语。故填economic。

【61题详解】

【62题详解】
考查介词。句意：张家界还是各种野生动植物的家园。be home to为固定搭配，意为“……的家园”。故填to。
【63题详解】

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
67. 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。
"Missy," I cried to my wife, "did you put the banana skin on my desk?" "No, honey, Meghan probably did," As I'd feared, she had missed my real purpose of the question which was to make it clear to her that she hadn't done her job: defend my desk against the invader--our naughty girl.
I abandoned the conversation.
I sat here at the desk, and stared at the screen. I waited patiently for ideas to come to me, exam questions for a test I would give my English students. My wife was off to a reunion somewhere, but I was not alone. Meghan, our 22-month-old daughter, kept me company. Yet her plans that day seemed to go against mine.
She followed a daily routine that was both time-consuming and challenging. It included certain basic tasks: watching the fish, sweeping the carpet in her room, climbing up and down her bed.
At first I could concentrate on designing my test paper. But I was soon sidetracked（分心的）． I had not counted on the arrival of the "bib-bibs" ("Bib-bibs" were birds). "Bib-bibs, bib-bibs!" Meghan screamed excitedly, her eyes alive with expectation. She insisted that I go with her to the window.
"In a second, just let me finish this question," I said. She pulled me by the hand (two fingers, actually) toward the window. I saw myself as a fool, being led to watch the bib-bibs. And we did watch them. They chattered and leaped back and forth on the lawn just outside our apartment window. Meghan was absorbed, but as I watched them, I still thought about my work.
Suddenly she rushed out from the room, and I heard her naked feet slapping against the wooden floor outside. She returned with her doll, Dumpty. She held him up to the window, stretching him out by his two arms and whispering into his nonexistent ear. "Bib-bibs, Dumpty, bib-bibs!" Then I left them in conversation and returned to my desk.
注意：
l ．所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Unfortunately, she came again soon, with her shoes in hands and preparing for an outing.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Out of the comer of my eye I could see the little girl sobbing because I didn't have time for her.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Unfortunately, she soon came again, with her shoes in hands and preparing for an outing. “Don’t even ask, Meghan. Not today.”I knew her plan too well: First the shoes. Then the stroller. And pretty soon we were in the park. The way she always did. Having sensed my impatience with her, Meghan put down the shoes, tugged at my sleeve with her free hands and pleaded using her hard to understand baby talk. “No, Meghan,” I said again. “Not now. Go away and leave me alone.”Finally, she left. She made no further attempt to bother me. Then I tried to concentrate on the test paper.
Out of the corner of my eye I could see the little girl sobbing because I didn’t have time for her. She stood with her back against the sofa, watching me type and slowly brushing Dumpty’s arm for comfort. Obviously Dumpty was doing my job to keep her company. I suddenly felt guilty. “Meghan, I feel like taking a walk down to the park. I was wondering if you would like to join me.” Hearing this, she laughed excitedly and began the search for her shoes. I knew I should put aside my work and go right at the moment while my girl thought that a walk with her father was a gift beyond measure.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇读后续写作文。通过阅读所给的文章可知，作者的妻子要去某个地方参加宴会，留下作者和22个月大的女儿梅根在家，作者在集中精力设计自己的英语试卷，结果思绪被岔开了，因为女儿看到了两只鸟的到来，非常兴奋，坚持要作者带她去窗子旁边。那两只鸟在在公寓窗外的草坪上叽叽喳喳地跳来跳去。梅根完全被吸引住了，作者却仍然在想着工作。后来，梅根光着脚冲出房间，作者发现她和娃娃在聊天，就没有管她了。
【详解】续写部分分为两段，第一段的开头是：不幸的是，她很快又回来了，手里拿着鞋子，准备外出。接下来可以写“别问了，梅根。不是今天”。我太了解她的计划了:首先是鞋子。然后推车。很快我们就到了公园。就像她一直做的那样。感觉到我对她的不耐烦后，梅根放下鞋子，用空闲的手拽着我的袖子，用难懂的婴儿语恳求我。“不，梅根。”我又说了一遍。“不是现在。走开，让我一个人呆着。”最后,她离开了。她不再想打扰我了。然后我试着把注意力集中在考卷上。第二段的开头是：从眼角的余光我可以看到那个小女孩在哭泣，因为我没有时间陪她。接下来可以写她背靠着沙发站着，看着我打字，慢慢地抚摸着Dumpty的胳膊，让我感到舒服。显然，Dumpty是在做我的工作来陪伴她。我突然感到内疚。“梅根，我想去公园散步。我想知道你是否愿意和我一起去”。听到这里，她兴奋地笑了起来，开始寻找她的鞋子。我知道我应该放下手头的工作，马上就走，因为我的女儿认为和父亲散步是一份无以伦比的礼物。
【点睛】续写内容详略得当，使用了固定短语和高分句型。如：put down；go away；leave sb. alone； make no attempt to；concentrate on；would like to do；put aside；search for等固定短语。①Having sensed my impatience with her, Meghan put down the shoes, tugged at my sleeve with her free hands and pleaded using her hard to understand baby talk.中having sensed为现在分词的完成式作状语；I knew I should put aside my work and go right at the moment while my girl thought that a walk with her father was a gift beyond measure.中I should put aside my work and go right at the moment为省略了that的宾语从句，that a walk with her father was a gift beyond measure.为that引导的宾语从句。
