It all happened one afternoon in Carl's backyard a few years ago. We had just finished playing stickball, and I was about to go home.
“Wait a minute,” Carl yelled. He ran into his house and came back with a book for me to take home and read. All he said was, “See if you like it.”
I said absolutely nothing. I kept the book for a couple of weeks and then returned it unread. Carl never asked me if I liked it or not. During the following two years Carl lent me three more books. Each time I returned them unread.
A few days after graduating from high school, Carl asked, “Benny, which college are you going to?”
“I'm not going to college.” I said.
“Why not?” he asked.
“Because my father can't afford the tuition (学费).” I answered.
“Is that it?” Carl asked. “Yes,” I said.
I lied. I had no intention of going back to school now that I was out. The following day, Carl knocked on my door and handed me a check for seventy-five dollars from his father along with the book Martin Eden. “I think that should do it.” he said.
Once again I was in shock. I was working full-time in my brother's bakery. I attended two classes at Wayne University part-time at night. Halfway through the semester, after receiving failing grades on exams and essays, I decided there was no way I would ever become a good student and get satisfactory grades. I dropped out of college.
One day, curious, I picked up the book, thinking Carl was trying to tell me something. Despite difficulty, I pressed on. By the time I finished the book, I understood why: the main character, Martin Eden, had my own poor educational background, but managed to educate himself and become a published author.
24. What do we know about the author?
A. He often told lies.
B. He quit school unwillingly.
C. He had thought little of education before.
D. He became a published author.
25. What kind of person is Carl?
A. Caring. B. Emotional. C. Stubborn. D. Cautious.
26. What message does Carl want to convey?
A. Reading makes a rich man.
B. Reading is the journey of the soul.
C. Reading makes a person better known.
D. Reading opens up new opportunities.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. A strong desire for college B. A wish for better education
C. A wise friend D. A wise book
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】

By the time I finished the book, I understood why: the main character, Martin Eden, had my own poor educational background, but managed to educate himself and become a published author. (一天，出于好奇，我拿起那本书，以为卡尔想告诉我什么。尽管困难重重，我还是继续读下去。当我读完这本书的时候，我明白了为什么：主角Martin Eden自己的教育背景也很差，但他自学成才，成为了一名出版作家)”可知，Carl想告诉作者的是，即使没有教育背景，通过阅读，人也可以成才，人生也有其他机会。故选D项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了Carl这个朋友提供给作者的帮助，启迪作者人生。C项“一位明智的朋友”符合题意，适合做标题。故选C项。

Paper is an important part of modern life. People use it in school, at work, to make artwork and books, to wrap presents and much more. Trees are the most common material for paper these days.
So how do people make paper out of trees today? People first cut trees, load them onto trucks and bring them to a factory. Machines cut open the outer coverings of the trees, and cut the trees into pieces. Those pieces are boiled into a soup. After that, it is hit flat, dried and cut up into sheets of paper.
The entire process, from planting a small tree to buying your school notebook, takes a very long time. Just growing the trees takes 10 to 20 years.
Making tons of paper from trees can harm the planet. Humans cut down 80, 000 to 160,000 trees around the world every day, and use many of them to make paper. Some of those trees come from tree farms. But people also cut down forests for paper, which means that animals and birds lose their homes.
Cutting forests down also contributes to climate change, and paper factories pollute the air. After you throw paper, it often takes the paper six to nine years to break down. That's why recycling is important. It saves a lot of trees, slows climate change and helps protect endangered animals, birds and all creatures that rely on forests for their homes and food.
So if paper isn't good for the environment, why don't people write on something else?
The answer: They do. With computers, tablets and cellphones, people use much less paper than in the past. Maybe a day will come when we won't use paper at all — or will save it for very special books and artworks.
28. What can we know about making paper out of trees?
A. It costs much money. B. It takes a lot of time.
C. It is very easy and fast. D. It is dangerous and difficult.
29. What is the impact of paper production?
A. It promotes the recycling.
B. It does harm to the environment.
C. It slows down the climate change.
D. It protects the animals from losing homes.
30. How will we use paper someday in the future according to the text?
A. Use it for books only. B. Use the recycled paper.
C. Treasure it occasionally. D. Use it for artworks.
31. What idea does the author want to express from the text?
A. The influence of making paper on environment.
B. The wonderful experience of making paper.
C. The necessary process of making paper.
D. The good reasons for making paper.
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了造纸的过程并说明了纸的生产对环境造成的影响。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The entire process, from planting a small tree to buying your school notebook, takes a very long time. Just growing the trees takes 10 to 20 years. (整个过程，从种植一棵小树到购买你的学校笔记本，需要很长时间。光是种树就需要10到20年)”可知，用树木造纸花费很多时间。故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Making tons of paper from trees can harm the planet. (用树木制造成吨的纸会危害地球)”和文章第五段“Cutting forests down also contributes to climate change, and paper factories pollute the air. After you throw paper, it often takes the paper six to nine years to break down. (砍伐森林也会导致气候变化，造纸厂污染空气。扔完纸后，纸通常要6到9年才能分解)”可知，纸的生产会对环境造成破坏。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Maybe a day will come when we won't use paper at all — or will save it for very special books and artworks. (也许有一天，我们将不再使用纸，或者将它保存为非常特殊的书籍和艺术品)”可知，将来的某一天，我们会用纸来做艺术品。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Making tons of paper from trees can harm the planet. (用树木制造成吨的纸会危害地球)”和文章第五段“Cutting forests down also contributes to climate change, and paper factories pollute the air. After you throw paper, it often takes the paper six to nine years to break down. (砍伐森林也会导致气候变化，造纸厂污染空气。扔完纸后，纸通常要6到9年才能分解)”以及文章倒数第二段“So if paper isn't good for the environment (所以如果纸对环境不好)”可知，作者想从文本中表达造纸对环境的影响。故选A。

According to the study posted on ScienceDirect, gardening just two to three times a week increase the benefits of better well-being as much as possible and lower stress levels.
The research explored why residents engaged with gardening and the extent to which they recognized any health benefits from the activity.
A questionnaire was handed out electronically within the UK, with 5,766 gardeners and 249 non-gardeners responding. Data was collected on factors including garden typology（类型学）, frequency of gardening and individual awareness of health and well-being.
"This is the first time the dose response（剂量效应）to gardening has been tested and the evidence from the survey strongly suggests that the more frequently you garden, the greater the health benefits," said Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) lead author Dr Lauriane Chalmin-Pui. In fact, gardening every day has the same positive impact on well-being than undertaking regular and powerful exercise like cycling or running.
When gardening, our brains are pleasantly entertained by nature around us. Gardening takes our attention away from ourselves and our stresses, therefore, it helps restore our minds and reduce unfavorable feelings.
Improving health, however, was not the main motive power to garden, but rather the direct pleasure gardening brought to the participants.
"Gardening is like effortless exercise because it doesn't feel as exhausting and hard as going to the gym, for example, but we can expend similar amounts of energy," Chalmin-Pui added.
Most people say they garden for pleasure and enjoyment, so people who like gardening may be easy to be addicted to it. However, this sometimes may become a piece of good news, from the aspect of mental health. "We hope all the millions of new gardeners will be getting their daily gardening and feeling all the better for it. " Chalmin-Pui said in the interview.
32. What can be inferred about gardening from the survey?
A. Improving health is the aim of the participants.
B Gardening makes no difference to health.
C. Health benefits from frequent gardening.
D. Too much gardening always does harm to health.
33. What does the underlined word "expend" mean in paragraph 7?
A. Consume. B. Make use of. C. Increase. D. Save.
34. Why do so many participants like gardening?
A. It isn't exhausting. B. It is good for health.
C. It brings pleasure. D. It is like going to the gym.
35. What is Chalmin-Pui's attitude to the new gardeners' gardening?
A. Carefree. B. Supportive C. Tolerant. D. Indifferent.
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。研究表明：园艺有益身体健康。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“According to the study posted on ScienceDirect, gardening just two to three times a week increase the benefits of better well-being as much as possible and lower stress levels.（根据发表在《科学直接》杂志上的研究，每周园艺两到三次就可以尽可能地提高幸福感和降低压力水平。）”可知，研究表明，经常做园艺对健康有益。故选C项。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据空前“Gardening is like effortless exercise because it doesn't feel as exhausting and hard as going to the gym,（园艺就像是毫不费力的锻炼，因为它不像去健身房那样让人感到筋疲力尽和困难，）”以及空后的similar amounts of energy（同样多的能量）可推测，虽然园艺看似不费力，但是却和去健身房一样消耗（consume）相同热量。故选A项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“Improving health, however, was not the main motive power to garden, but rather the direct pleasure gardening brought to the participants.（然而，改善健康并不是园艺主要动力，而是园艺给参与者带来的直接快乐。）”可知，参与者喜欢园艺，更多是因为它带来的愉悦。故选C项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“"We hope all the millions of new gardeners will be getting their daily gardening and feeling all the better for it. " Chalmin-Pui said in the interview.（“我们希望所有数以百万计的新园丁将得到他们的日常园艺和感觉所有更好的。” Chalmin-Pui在采访中说。）”可知，Chalmin-Pui对新园丁的园艺技术是持支持（supportive）态度的。故选B项。

Six Solar Terms in Summer
Lixia
Lixia is the first solar term in summer, signifying the beginning of the hot summer.____36____People usually consider Lixia as an important solar term. When it comes, the temperature rises obviously, and summer heat arrives, there is a remarkable increase in thunderstorms, and crops enter their peak season for growth.
Xiaoman and Mangzhong
During Xiaoman, summer harvest crops such as wheat already bear fruits, and their seeds are full though they are not ripe yet. Thus, the solar term is named Xiaoman. The solar term Xiaoman is in late May. Summer begins to reach all parts of the country. Rainfall begins to increase further. Mangzhong means, "wheat with awn（芒）should be harvested soon, and rice seeds with awn can be sown".____37____
Xiazhi
On the day of Xiazhi, the daytime in the Northern Hemisphere（半球）reaches its maxi-mum length.____38____At Xiazhi, though there is direct sunlight, it is not the hottest time in a year.
Xiaoshu and Dashu
____39____Xiaoshu is minor heat, which means it's not very hot. The weather is getting increasingly hot, but not the hottest moment yet. The crops in the entire country begin to grow rapidly, and this situation requires more intensive field management. Dashu is extreme heat. Compared to Xiaoshu, it's much hotter.____40____And it also marks the period with the fastest growth for crops which enjoy heat.
A. The character shu means heat.
B. It predicts the busy farming activities of farmers.
C. The temperatures rise and summer drought begins.
D. The more northern a place is, the longer its daytime is.
E. People need to prepare for heat prevention and cooling.

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国夏季的六大节气。
【36题详解】
前文“Lixia is the first solar term in summer, signifying the beginning of the hot summer.（立夏是夏季的第一个节气，标志着炎热夏季的开始。）”提到立夏是夏季的开始。F项“它的意思是春天的结束，夏天的开始。”承接上文，符合题意。故选F项。
【37题详解】
前文“Mangzhong means, "wheat with awn（芒）should be harvested soon, and rice seeds with awn can be sown".（芒种的意思是，“长芒的小麦应该很快收割，长芒的水稻种子可以播种”）”提到了harvest。而B项“它预测了农民忙碌的农业活动。”中的busy farming activities与harvest语义一致。且B项中it，指代的就是芒种。故选B项。
【38题详解】
前文“On the day of Xiazhi, the daytime in the Northern Hemisphere（半球）reaches its maxi-mum length.（在夏至的这一天，北半球的白天达到了最长。）”的maxi-mum length与D项“一个地方越靠北，白天就越长。”中的the longer its daytime is叙述一致，逻辑合理。故选D项。
【39题详解】
小标题Xiaoshu and Dashu提到了shu，而A项““暑”字的意思是热。”是对Shu的进一步解释，同时引起下文“Xiaoshu is minor heat, which means it's not very hot.（小暑节气不是很热。）”。A项承上启下，符合题意。故选A项。
【40题详解】
前文“Dashu is extreme heat. Compared to Xiaoshu, it's much hotter.（大暑非常热。与小暑相比，温度要高得多。）”提到了大暑非常热。G项“它标志着一年中最热的时期和最高温度。”则是对大暑温度的进一步说明。故选G项。

【解析】
【分析】本文一篇记叙文。文章记叙了英语作为作者的第二语言，使作者能够看到更多美好的景色，体验这个世界。
【61题详解】
考查副词。句意：第二语言在中国大多数情况下指的是英语，随着中国与世界其他国家的日益融合，其重要性无论怎么强调都不过分。修饰动词integrated，应使用副词。故填increasingly。
【62题详解】
考查动词。句意：进入大学后，我选择了英语作为我的专业，英语知识帮助我接触到西方音乐、艺术、历史、政治、经济和自然景观，这样我就能更好地理解这个星球的多样性。根据空前的entered可知，句子应使用一般过去时，而空处应使用chose，与entered作并列谓语。故填chose。
【63题详解】
考查名词。句意：进入大学后，我选择了英语作为我的专业，英语知识帮助我接触到西方音乐、艺术、历史、政治、经济和自然景观，这样我就能更好地理解这个星球的多样性。根据空前的the可知，空处应填不可数名词diversity，表达“多样性”之意。故填diversity。
【64题详解】
考查定冠词。句意：这种语言也帮助我体验和理解其他文化。由于前文提到过这种语言，应使用定冠词the，表示特指。句子首字母大写。故填The。
【65题详解】
考查定语从句连接词。句意：我的工作涉及到国外的商务旅行，我访问的第一个国家是埃及，那里的大多数人都会说一些英语。分析句子可知，空处可使用连接副词where，指代先行词Egypt，或者使用关系代词whose作most people的定语，指代先行词Egypt。故填where/whose。
【66题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我在当地市场买了香水和头巾，在尼罗河边的一家餐馆吃了烤肉串，在 Khufu 附近骑了骆驼，参观了埃及博物馆，参观了石棺、木乃伊和 Tutankham之面，这些都是世界闻名的。分析句子可知，空处应使用非谓语动词。visit与所修饰词I之间是主动关系，应使用现在分词。故填visiting。
【67题详解】
考查形容词。句意：这是一次多么美妙而难忘的经历啊！分析句意并结合空前的wonderful and可知，空处应使用形容词unforgettable，表达“令人难忘的”之意。故填unforgettable。
【68题详解】
考查不定式。句意：没有英语，我就没有办法订餐、买票、和小贩讨价还价，更不用说我还能了解辉煌的埃及历史。分析句子可知，空处应使用不定式，作目的状语。故填to order。
【69题详解】
考查介词。句意：总而言之，英语作为我的第二语言，使我能够看到更多美好的景色，体验这个世界。in conclusion为固定介词短语，意为“总而言之”。句子首字母大写。故填In。
【70题详解】
考查名词。句意：总而言之，英语作为我第二语言，使我能够看到更多美好的景色，体验这个世界。根据空前的see可知，空处应使用可数名词复数views，表达“景色”之意，作see的宾语。故填views。

Li Jin is my classmate and she is also my best friend. Every time when I think of the relay race, I cannot help be moved by her courage and enthusiasm. Li Jin and I participated a relay race held by our school. During the race, she accidental fell down. What's worst, she injured her leg or couldn't stop bleeding. To everyone's surprised, she struggled to her feet and continues running to the finish line. Everyone was moved by her will. Although we lost a race in the end, we still got the warmest applause(鼓掌).From her I learn that whenever we run into difficulty, all she need is an iron will—the secret to success.
【答案】1.去掉when 2. be→being 3. accidental→accidentally 4. worst→worse 5. or→and
6. surprised→surprise 7. continues→continued 8.running→to run 9. a→the 10. she→we
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了同学李瑾在接力赛中受伤摔倒，却坚持跑完比赛，同学们都深受感动的故事。
【详解】1.考查连词。句意：每次当我想起这个接力赛，我情不自禁被她的勇气和热情所感动。every time引导时间状语从句，表达“每次……”，其后不再添加when。故将when去掉。
2.考查非谓语动词。句意：每次当我想起这个接力赛，我情不自禁被她的勇气和热情所感动。cannot help doing为固定搭配，意为“情不自禁做…”，be后加“ing”变动名词。故将be改为being。
3.考查副词。句意：在比赛期间，她意外地摔倒了。fell down意为“摔倒”，是动词短语，应使用副词修饰动词。故将accidental改为accidentally。
4.考查形容词比较级。句意：更糟糕的是，她的腿受伤了并不停地流血。what's worse为固定搭配，意为“更糟糕的是……”，符合语境；worst是最高级，意为“最糟糕的”，不符合语境。故将worst改为worse。
5.考查并列连词。句意：更糟糕的是，她的腿受伤了并不停地流血。or意为“或者”，表转折；此处应该表并列，应使用and(和)连接。故将or改为and。
6.考查名词。句意：令每个人都惊讶的是，她挣扎着站起来并继续跑到终点线。to one's surprise为固定搭配，意为“令某人惊讶的是……”。故将surprised改为surprise。
7.考查时态。句意：令每个人都惊讶的是，她挣扎着站起来并继续跑到终点线。and连接两个并列成分。由struggled可知，句子时态是一般过去时，continue应使用continued。故将continues改为continued。
8.考查不定式。句意：令每个人都惊讶的是，她挣扎着站起来并继续跑到终点线。continue doing意为“一直做…”，表示没有间断，不符合语境。continue to do意为“继续做……”，符合语境。故将running改为to run。
9.考查定冠词。句意：尽管我们最后输了比赛，我们仍然得到最温暖的鼓掌。前文已经提到了这个比赛，所以此处应该是特指这个比赛，应用定冠词the修饰。故将a改为the。
10.考查代词。句意：从她身上我学到了无论我们遇到什么困难，我们所需要的是钢铁一样的意志---成功的秘密。根据前文“From her I learn that whenever we run into difficulty (从她身上我学到了无论何时我们遇到困难，)”可知，此处是说我们需要。故将she改为we。
