【原文】Hello, everyone. It is indeed a great pleasure to have this chance to address such a large audience this evening. I’m Pierre Chabrol from the University of Marseille. At the moment I’m carrying out a research in Senegal for the United Nations as a part of project to increase the world food production. Before I get on to what exactly we did in our research, I would like to explain briefly the purpose behind it. Quite simply my subject is rice. As you all know, rice is the main food for millions of people in the world. So if the rice crops fail, millions of people starve and die. And they do fail, very often through disease. Now what my colleagues and I have been doing out in the field in Senegal as well as in the university laboratories is to try to produce a disease-resisting variety of rice, a particular kind of rice, which will resist disease, in other words, a stronger type of rice.

Thirty-two cases of illegal hunting or trading wild animals have been uncovered involving 33 suspects since a crackdown against illegal wildlife trade was launched on April 10.
Beijing police seized 74 wild animals grouped in China into the first-grade and second-grade state protected animals including African grey parrots and cockatoos, as well as nearly 50 wild birds and 21 pangolin scales.
On April 16, police in the capital city’s Chaoyang district caught two suspects, who were respectively identified as Liu and Wang, for buying wild animals, and recovered more than 40 wild birds, including one cockatoo and one African grey parrot, at their homes, the statement said, adding the two suspects have been detained (拘留).
In another case, a 35-year-old man surnamed Hu was also sentenced to imprisonment in Daxing district after he was found selling wild animals through QQ, a popular instant messaging tool in the country. He was caught on April 14.
The bureau highlighted the importance of protecting the wildlife, noting Chinese laws and a new decision adopted by the nation’s top legislature (立法机关) have also shown the country’s determination against illegal trade of wild animals.
The Chinese Criminal Law clarifies that those illegally hunting, buying, selling or transporting wild animals on the state protection list, endangered animals or the wildlife-related products will face an imprisonment of more than 10 years and fines if their behaviors are identified as “extremely serious”.
On Feb 24, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, the country’s top legislative body, also passed the decision that clearly states all wildlife on the protection list of the existing Wild Animal Protect Law or other laws, and all wild animals, including those artificially bred and farmed, are not permitted to be hunted or traded.

Take a look inside a high school classroom. You will most likely find a teacher at the front of the class and students sitting at their desks. Yet, look closer, and you might notice a familiar scene: many of these students are not paying attention. Instead, they are dozing off (打盹) or even completely asleep.
Today, the majority of high school students are not getting enough sleep. This lack (缺乏) of sleep is a serious problem, especially as students are doing more than ever with their time. They come to school early, spend hours listening to teachers and taking tests, then run off to practices and meetings, and come home to be faced with even more work. And the homework load these days is not light; teachers give hours worth of homework each night.
Most kids need at least nine hours of sleep per night in order to function properly. Yet the period of this nine hours shifts as a child gets older. After puberty (青春期), the body’s internal clock changes so that it is difficult for teens to fall asleep before 11 p.m. So even if a student falls asleep at eleven, they would need to sleep until at least 8 a.m. to get a full night’s sleep. Considering the time at which most high schools in this country begin, those nine hours are clearly being shortened. Few high schools start after 8 a.m.
However, there are schools that have paid attention to this research and pushed backward the start of their school day. In schools where the start time is after 8:30 in the morning, the teachers believe that there has been a real change in their students. They note that the students miss class less, pay more attention in class, perform better in class, and report lower levels of depression (沮丧). The researchers of these studies say that the results are quite important and that more schools should consider pushing backward their start time of their school day.
28. Which of the following would the author agree with?
A. High school students must go to bed before 10 p.m.
B. High schools should begin their school day at a later time.
C. Most schools should push forward the start of their school day.
D. Kids should shorten their sleep time gradually as they grow older.
29. The second paragraph mainly discusses ______.
A. why high school students should get more sleep
B. what’s life like for high school students at present
C. why high school students feel sleepy in the classroom
D. how to lighten high school students’ homework load
30. The underlined word “shifts” probably means “_______”.
A. arrives B. reduces
C. increases D. changes
31. How do the teachers feel about the results from pushing backward their school day?
A. Disappointed. B. Satisfied.
C. Puzzled. D. Surprised.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了现在高中生课业负担重，导致学生睡眠不足而上课犯困、注意力不集中的现象，建议学校应减少课业，推迟上课时间，让学生由充足的睡眠。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段中的“The researchers of these studies say that the results are quite important and that more schools should consider pushing backward their start time of their school day.(这些研究的研究人员说，研究结果非常重要，更多的学校应该考虑推迟上学时间)”可推知，作者也会赞同高中应该晚一点开始上课。故选B项。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。由第二段“Today, the majority of high school students are not getting enough sleep. This lack (缺乏) of sleep is a serious problem, especially as students are doing more than ever with their time. They come to school early, spend hours listening to teachers and taking tests, then run off to practices and meetings, and come home to be faced with even more work. And the homework load these days is not light; teachers give hours worth of homework each night.(今天，大多数高中生睡眠不足。睡眠不足是一个严重的问题，尤其是学生们在时间上做得比以往任何时候都多。他们早早来到学校，花几个小时听老师讲课，参加考试，然后跑去练习和开会，回家后还要面对更多的家庭作业。现在的家庭作业负担不轻，老师们每晚都要给学生们几个小时的作业量)”可知，本段讲述了为什么高中生在课堂上感到困倦——就是因为课业繁重和睡眠不足。故选C项。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。由第三段中划线词所在句后面的“After puberty (青春期), the body’s internal clock changes so that it is difficult for teens to fall asleep before 11 p.m.(进入青春期后，人体内部的生物钟会发生变化，青少年很难在晚上11点之前入睡)”可推知，划线词所在句“Yet the period of this nine hours shifts as a child gets older.”意为“然而，这9个小时的时间随着孩子长大而改变”。划线词shifts在此处意为“changes(变化)”。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段中的“In schools where the start time is after 8:30 in the morning, the teachers believe that there has been a real change in their students. They note that the students miss class less, pay more attention in class, perform better in class, and report lower levels of depression (沮丧).(在早上8:30以后开始上课的学校，老师们认为学生们已经发生了真正的变化。他们注意到，学生缺课少，在课堂上注意力更集中，在课堂上表现更好，而且抑郁程度较低)”可推知，老师们对推迟上课时间很满意。故选B项。
D
NOT that long ago, the world wondered whether clean energy could survive without government support. Now the question is how far it can spread. The number of electric vehicles. which was about 1 million in 2015, last year reached 2 million. In electricity generation, too, trend is with the greens. In the first half of this year wind, solar and hydro generated a record 35% of Germany's power.
Greater success is breeding greater ambition. California is proposing to reach 60% renewable energy by 2030: 176 countries have clean-energy goals. Hawaii, America's most oil-dependent state, has promised to be 100% renewable by the middle of the century. So have 48 poor countries vulnerable to climate change. This week the number of multinationals making a commitment to running their operations on 100% renewable energy rose to 100.
But not every target is helpful. To see why, consider that goal of 100% renewable energy. It makes solving climate change seem easy. In fact, though wind and solar can generate the whole country's electricity some day, renewables still account for less than 8% of the world's total power output. Moreover, cleaning up electricity is only part of the battle. Even though gas-fired heating and cooking can be at least as big a source of greenhouse-gas emissions, renewable heating gets little attention. Transport policy is unpredictable, too. Carmakers may hit their goal of annual sales of 10 million electric vehicles in a decade, but battery-powered road transport, shipping and aviation are dreams. A much-quoted claim that America could rely on wind, solar and hydro alone for its electricity has recently been bitterly criticized by a group of respected academics.
Most importantly, a 100% renewables target confuses means with ends. The priority for the planet is to stop net emissions（净排放量）of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide. Putting too much emphasis on wind, solar and other renewables may block off better carbon-reduction paths. After decades of investment, it is wrong to leave nuclear power off the table. Carbon emissions in Germany actually rose because it chose to phase out nuclear power gradually and so burned more coal. New technologies, such as "direct air capture" systems designed to separate carbon dioxide from the air, may in time prove vital. Likewise, greater energy efficiency could reduce emissions by even more than using renewables would.
32. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. the problem of climate change will be solved by using 100% renewable energy
B. with new technologies, Germany successfully cut down carbon emissions
C. it is probable that ships will one day be powered by battery
D. America is not likely to completely rely on wind, solar and hydro energy one day
33. According to the passage, carbon emissions may be reduced by .
A. promoting energy efficiency
B. blocking off carbon-reduction paths
C. using non-renewable heating
D. abandoning electric vehicles
34. The underlined phrase "phase out" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A. ignore B. reduce C. use D. invent
35. In which column can this passage be read?
A. Fashion B. Politics C. Economy D. Education
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。短文主要介绍了人类的主要目标是遏制全球变暖，而不是实现百分百再生能源。再生能源对环保和经济产生了诸多的影响
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“A much-quoted claim that America could rely on wind, solar and hydro alone for its electricity has recently been bitterly criticized by a group of respected academics.” 一种经常被引用的说法，即美国可以只依靠风能、太阳能和水力发电，最近遭到了一群受人尊敬的学者的严厉批评。可知美国不可能完全依靠风能、太阳能和水力发电，故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Likewise, greater energy efficiency could reduce emissions by even more than using renewables would” 同样，更高的能源效率可以比使用可再生能源减少更多的排放。可知提高能源效率可以减少碳排放。故选A。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段“Carbon emissions in Germany actually rose 以及后文 so burned more coal.” 德国的碳排放量实际上上升了，因为它选择逐步淘汰核能，因此燃烧了更多的煤炭。此处phase out和后面的more对立，所以这里是减少。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。短文主要介绍了人类的主要目标是遏制全球变暖，而不是实现百分百再生能源。再生能源对环保和经济产生了诸多的影响。由此判断出短文来源于经济模块，故选C。
第二节 七选五 （共5小题，每题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Social media are a powerful tool, and the go-green movement is becoming popular in the social media world. A new Facebook app is exercising this power to help people get back to work or even land their dream job.___36___
With an unemployment rate of 9.7 percent in January 2010,there were nearly 15 million Americans out of work of whom 6.3 million had been jobless for 27 or more weeks. It is likely that these people have used the most traditional methods to find a job. ____37____As you can see, the name of the app is Hire My Friend, not Hire Me____38____One of the most important parts of getting a job is who you know. Reach out to your network of friends and you will find more opportunities than applying for a job in a newspaper advertisement. As a writer, I know that networking is the key to opening doors and getting new opportunities.
When you place the Hire My Friend app on your Facebook page you can present your friend's job-related facts and then this information is shown through a live feed post(实时发布).____39____In addition to the app itself, the Hire My Friend Facebook page has lots of useful resources for those who want to find a job. One tab(标签) has the latest jobs that are being posted on Twitter, another powerful social media tool.____40____The developer of the app encourages people never to give up. If you know of someone who is out of work, I encourage you to try the Hire My Friend app.
A. That is Hire My Friend.

63. where 64. covering
65. suitable
66. is called
67. constantly
68. findings
69. posted 70. is
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。作者在文章中介绍了几个不错的科学网站。
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意：正如你所知道的，科学在我们的教育中扮演着一个重要角色。此处泛指“一个重要角色”，应使用不定冠词，very是以辅音音素开头的词，应使用a。故填a。
【62题详解】
考查介词。句意：你想要紧跟最新的科学研究和发现吗？keep up with为固定搭配，意为“跟上”。故填with。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：有很多好的网站，在上面你可以查找科学世界中的最新信息。此处为定语从句，先行词websites为虚拟地点，在从句中做地点状语，应用关系副词where。故填where。
【64题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：这个网站报道的科学新闻覆盖了广泛范围的学科。cover和谓语动词reports之间无关联词，所以用非谓语形式，和主语news构成主动形式，所以用现在分词，表主动，作后置定语修饰news。故填covering。
【65题详解】
考查形容词。句意：这些文章是为年轻读者准备的，但是成人发现这个网站也适合他们。find后加宾语和宾语补足语，所以空格处应用形容词。根据but可知，前后句意相反，所以是这个网站也适合成人。故填suitable。
【66题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：另一个很棒的网站叫作“每日科学”，我每天都要查看。“one that I check out every day”是插入语，所以空格处为谓语动词。动词call和主语site构成被动关系，句子讲的是现在的客观事实，应用一般现在时。故填is called。
【67题详解】
考查副词。句意：这个网站持续更新新闻，通常是有关激动人心的改变我们对世界的看法的发现。修饰动词updated，应用副词。故填constantly。
【68题详解】
考查名词。句意：这个网站持续更新新闻，通常是有关激动人心的改变我们对世界的看法的发现。形容词exciting后应用名词，且根据定语从句中的谓语动词change可知，先行词“发现”应用复数。故填findings。
【69题详解】
考查时态。句意：这些网站上传最新的故事，并且保留所有他们发布早先发布过的文章。根据the past articles和earlier可知，应用一般过去时。故填posted。
【70题详解】
考查定语从句的主谓一致。句意：这样你就可以找到关于任何你感兴趣的科学领域的信息的文章。定语从句中的that代指先行词anything，所以定语从句中的主语为单数，句子讲的是现在的客观事实，应用一般现在时。故填is。
第三节 用所给词的适当形式填空 （共10小题，每题1分，满分10分）
71. They made a list of all the ways they could imagine _________(help)those who were in need.（用所给单词适当形式填空）
【答案】to help
【解析】

72. Some people are sitting on the grass; others are walking along the lake, _________(chat) and laughing. （用所给单词适当形式填空）
【答案】chatting
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：有的人坐在草地上；有的人在湖边散步，谈笑风生。句中有谓语动词are walking along且句中无连词，故应用chat的非谓语动词形式，句子主语others代表“其他人”，与chat为逻辑上的主动关系，即人发出聊天的动作，故应用chat的现在分词chatting，在句中作伴随状语。故填chatting。
73. We have to balance the need for _________ (accurate) with the need to provide timely information. （用所给单词适当形式填空）
【答案】accuracy
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：我们必须在对准确性的需求和提供及时信息的需要之间取得平衡。空格处涉及短语“the need for sth”，意为“对……的需要”，for为介词，后应接名词作宾语，accurate意为“精确的”，形容词词性，对应的名词为accuracy，意为“准确性”，表示抽象意义，不可数，符合句意。故填accuracy。
74. Over the years, I remained ________ (commit) to the values that my dad taught me. （用所给单词适当形式填空）
【答案】committed
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：这些年来，我一直坚守着父亲教给我的价值观。结合句意表示“坚持，继续致力于”可知，短语为remain committed to，committed 为形容词作表语。故填committed。
75. People tend to think that ________(economy) development is bad for the environment. （用所给单词适当形式填空）
【答案】economic
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：人们倾向于认为经济发展对环境有害。分析句子可知，设空处用形容词作定语，修饰名词development，再结合句意“经济”是economic。故填economic。
76. It is I rather than he that _________ (blame) for the traffic accident. （用所给单词适当形式填空）
【答案】am to blame
【解析】
【详解】考查主动表达被动。句意：这次交通事故应该由我而不是他来负责。分析句子结构可知，本句使用了强调句基本句型It is+被强调部分+that+句子其他部分，其中被强调的是主语I，后面的rather than he是个修饰性成分，空格处为谓语动词。结合句意“对……应负责任；应该为某事负责任”是固定搭配be to blame …。主动表达被动。本句陈述事实用一般现在时，且由主谓一致可知be动词用am。故填am to blame。
77. Noise is unpleasant, _________ (particular) when you are trying to sleep. （用所给单词适当形式填空）
【答案】particularly
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意：噪音是令人不快的，尤其是当你想睡觉的时候。空格所在句为when引导的时间状语从句，空格位于从句句首，用来修饰整个句子，在句中作状语，应用副词，particular意为“特别的，特指的”，形容词词性，对应的副词为particularly，意为“尤其，特别”，符合句意。故填particularly。
78. ________ (suffer) from heart trouble for year, Professor White must take some medicine with him wherever he goes. （用所给单词适当形式填空）
【答案】Having suffered

【详解】考查现在分词的完成式。句意：怀特教授患有心脏病多年了，无论走到哪里，他都必须随身带些药。本句已有谓语动词take，且无连词，此处用非谓语动词形式，suffer与其逻辑主语Professor White之间是主动关系，且suffer发生在谓语动词take之前，此处用现在分词的完成式（having done）表主动，作状语，首字母大写。故填Having suffered。
79. The student ________ (absorb) in the games on the MP4 during class didn’t notice his teacher standing behind him. （用所给单词适当形式填空）
【答案】absorbed
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：这个上课专心于MP4上的游戏的学生，没有注意到站在他后面的老师。分析句子结构，可知absorb在句中应用非谓语动词形式，短语be absorbed in“专心于；全神贯注于”，此处省略be动词，用过去分词作后置定语。故填absorbed。
80. It is a (n) ________ (responsible) behavior for a parent to leave a baby alone at home. （用所给单词适当形式填空）
【答案】irresponsible
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：父母把婴儿一个人留在家里是一种不负责任的行为。此处用形容词irresponsible（不负责任的）作定语，修饰名词behavior 。根据 for a parent to leave a baby alone at home. 可知这是一种不负责任的行为，故填irresponsible。

【答案】 ①. must ②. have ③. sounded ④. saying
【解析】
【详解】考查情态动词和现在分词。由句意和谓语was可知，本句是对过去发生的动作很有把握的肯定推测，应用must have done形式，sound（听上去）；第四空与前句无连词连接，此处用非谓语形式，主语I 和动词say是逻辑上的主谓关系，应用现在分词（doing）表主动，作状语，say（说）。故填①must②have③sounded④saying。
82. 怀着发财的目的，许多中国人在19世纪来到澳大利亚淘金。
__________ __________ __________ __________ making a fortune, many Chinese came to Australia in the 19th century to wash sand for gold.

86. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
“I’m going to miss you so much, Poppy,” said the tall, thin teenager. He bent down to hug his old friend goodbye. He stood up, hugged his parents, and smiled, trying not to let his emotions get the better of him.
His parents were not quite able to control theirs. They had driven their son several hours out of town to the university where he would soon be living and studying. It was time to say goodbye for now at least. The family hugged and smiled through misty eyes and then laughed.
The boy lifted the last bag onto his shoulder, and flashed a bright smile. “I guess this is it,” he said. “I’ll see you back home in a month, okay?” His parents nodded, and they watched as he walked out of sight into the crowds of hundreds of students and parents. The boy’s mother turned to the dog, “Okay, Poppy, time to go back home.”
The house seemed quiet as a tomb without the boy living there. All that week, Poppy didn’t seem interested in her dinner, her favorite toy, or even in her daily walk. Her owners were sad too, but they knew their son would be back to visit. Poppy didn’t.
They offered the dog some of her favorite peanut butter treats. They even let her sit on the sofa, but the old girl just wasn’t her usual cheerful self. Her owners started to get worried. “What should we do to cheer Poppy up?” asked Dad. “We’ve tried everything.”
“I have an idea, but it might be a little crazy,” smiled Mom. “Without anybody left in the house but us, this place could use a bit of fun. Let’s get a little dog for Poppy.
It didn’t take long before they walked through the front door carrying a big box. Poppy welcomed them home as usual but when she saw the box, she stopped. She put her nose on it. Her tail began wagging (摆动) ever so slowly, then faster as she caught the smell.
注意：
Para 1：Dad opened the box and a sweet little dog appeared.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para 2：A few weeks later, the boy arrived home from university.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Dad opened the box and a sweet little dog appeared. She was all white with shining big eyes, a black spot on its forehead making it more attractive. Her new owners gave her a new name, Spotty. Mom took her out of the box carefully, putting her beside Poppy’s feet. Poppy’s eyes were first filled with surprise and curiosity and then brightened with joy. Looking at this, the parents relieved because Poppy accepted Spotty and their plan worked.
A few weeks later, the boy arrived home from university. The first thing that caught his attention was the happy noise made by Poppy and another dog.When finding the boy back home from university, Poppy was overjoyed and introduced Spotty to him. The three, immediately became just one solid alliance. From their story we can see the fact that happiness between three is much more than between two or just having it alone.

【详解】1. 第一步理解整篇文章，包括一些细节：一位少年去上大学，父母送他到大学里，他与家人和狗狗Poppy伤心地告别。他们约定一个月后回家见面。男孩走后，狗狗Poppy对一切都失去了兴趣：最爱的食物，最爱的玩具，甚至是出门散步，少年的父母为了让狗狗振作起来用尽办法，但是事情没有好转。少年的父母知道孩子会回来，而狗狗并不明白。后来妈妈想出一个主意：再养一只小狗，给Poppy作伴，poppy当时的反应：当她看到盒子时，她停下了。她把鼻子放在上面。她的尾巴开始摆动得越来越慢，然后越来越快，因为她闻到了气味。
2. 续写思路，第一段的首句Dad opened the box and a sweet little dog appeared.注意句子中的一个形容词sweet, little,盒子里的狗狗小小的，非常可爱，后面续写可以描述两只狗狗很快建立起友谊，Poppy不再情绪低落，小狗狗也很快融入这个家庭。第二段首句为A few weeks later, the boy arrived home from university. 可以续写为男孩加入到两个狗狗的友谊中，一人两狗相处的非常愉快，最后主题升华为：一人不能独享快乐，两人分享才能快乐，三人分享会有加倍的快乐。
3. 文本中划线的单词，Poppy, university, parents, back, cheerful 都是续写中必需的单词，其他划线单词根据续写情节选择使用。整体为一般过去时，注意句式的变化，各类从句和非谓语动词的使用。
4. 第一段续写可以细节描述小狗狗的可爱，粘人，以至于伤心的Poppy不得不喜欢上了他，忘记了自己的悲伤，男孩的父母也高兴地松了一口气。字数约70-80单词。第二段续写可以描述少年回家之后，见到Poppy和小狗狗之后的兴奋，原先两个伙伴分享的乐事变成了三个伙伴一起分享。
【点睛】范文内容完整，要点全面，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了较多主从复合句，如：The first thing that caught his attention was the happy noise made by Poppy and another dog.这句话运用了that引导的定语从句； From their story we can see the fact that happiness between three is much more than between two or just having it alone.这句话运用了that引导的同位语从句；文章也使用了一些固定词组，如be filled with; take…out of等。全文中没有中国式英语的句式，显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外，文章思路清晰、层次分明，上下句转换自然，为文章增色添彩。

【原文】Hello, everyone. It is indeed a great pleasure to have this chance to address such a large audience this evening. I’m Pierre Chabrol from the University of Marseille. At the moment I’m carrying out a research in Senegal for the United Nations as a part of project to increase the world food production. Before I get on to what exactly we did in our research, I would like to explain briefly the purpose behind it. Quite simply my subject is rice. As you all know, rice is the main food for millions of people in the world. So if the rice crops fail, millions of people starve and die. And they do fail, very often through disease. Now what my colleagues and I have been doing out in the field in Senegal as well as in the university laboratories is to try to produce a disease-resisting variety of rice, a particular kind of rice, which will resist disease, in other words, a stronger type of rice.

Thirty-two cases of illegal hunting or trading wild animals have been uncovered involving 33 suspects since a crackdown against illegal wildlife trade was launched on April 10.
Beijing police seized 74 wild animals grouped in China into the first-grade and second-grade state protected animals including African grey parrots and cockatoos, as well as nearly 50 wild birds and 21 pangolin scales.
On April 16, police in the capital city’s Chaoyang district caught two suspects, who were respectively identified as Liu and Wang, for buying wild animals, and recovered more than 40 wild birds, including one cockatoo and one African grey parrot, at their homes, the statement said, adding the two suspects have been detained (拘留).
In another case, a 35-year-old man surnamed Hu was also sentenced to imprisonment in Daxing district after he was found selling wild animals through QQ, a popular instant messaging tool in the country. He was caught on April 14.
The bureau highlighted the importance of protecting the wildlife, noting Chinese laws and a new decision adopted by the nation’s top legislature (立法机关) have also shown the country’s determination against illegal trade of wild animals.

Take a look inside a high school classroom. You will most likely find a teacher at the front of the class and students sitting at their desks. Yet, look closer, and you might notice a familiar scene: many of these students are not paying attention. Instead, they are dozing off (打盹) or even completely asleep.
Today, the majority of high school students are not getting enough sleep. This lack (缺乏) of sleep is a serious problem, especially as students are doing more than ever with their time. They come to school early, spend hours listening to teachers and taking tests, then run off to practices and meetings, and come home to be faced with even more work. And the homework load these days is not light; teachers give hours worth of homework each night.
Most kids need at least nine hours of sleep per night in order to function properly. Yet the period of this nine hours shifts as a child gets older. After puberty (青春期), the body’s internal clock changes so that it is difficult for teens to fall asleep before 11 p.m. So even if a student falls asleep at eleven, they would need to sleep until at least 8 a.m. to get a full night’s sleep. Considering the time at which most high schools in this country begin, those nine hours are clearly being shortened. Few high schools start after 8 a.m.
However, there are schools that have paid attention to this research and pushed backward the start of their school day. In schools where the start time is after 8:30 in the morning, the teachers believe that there has been a real change in their students. They note that the students miss class less, pay more attention in class, perform better in class, and report lower levels of depression (沮丧). The researchers of these studies say that the results are quite important and that more schools should consider pushing backward their start time of their school day.
28. Which of the following would the author agree with?
A. High school students must go to bed before 10 p.m.
B. High schools should begin their school day at a later time.
C. Most schools should push forward the start of their school day.
D. Kids should shorten their sleep time gradually as they grow older.
29. The second paragraph mainly discusses ______.
A. why high school students should get more sleep
B. what’s life like for high school students at present
C. why high school students feel sleepy in the classroom
D. how to lighten high school students’ homework load
30. The underlined word “shifts” probably means “_______”.
A. arrives B. reduces
C. increases D. changes
31. How do the teachers feel about the results from pushing backward their school day?
A. Disappointed. B. Satisfied.
C. Puzzled. D. Surprised.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了现在高中生课业负担重，导致学生睡眠不足而上课犯困、注意力不集中的现象，建议学校应减少课业，推迟上课时间，让学生由充足的睡眠。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段中的“The researchers of these studies say that the results are quite important and that more schools should consider pushing backward their start time of their school day.(这些研究的研究人员说，研究结果非常重要，更多的学校应该考虑推迟上学时间)”可推知，作者也会赞同高中应该晚一点开始上课。故选B项。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。由第二段“Today, the majority of high school students are not getting enough sleep. This lack (缺乏) of sleep is a serious problem, especially as students are doing more than ever with their time. They come to school early, spend hours listening to teachers and taking tests, then run off to practices and meetings, and come home to be faced with even more work. And the homework load these days is not light; teachers give hours worth of homework each night.(今天，大多数高中生睡眠不足。睡眠不足是一个严重的问题，尤其是学生们在时间上做得比以往任何时候都多。他们早早来到学校，花几个小时听老师讲课，参加考试，然后跑去练习和开会，回家后还要面对更多的家庭作业。现在的家庭作业负担不轻，老师们每晚都要给学生们几个小时的作业量)”可知，本段讲述了为什么高中生在课堂上感到困倦——就是因为课业繁重和睡眠不足。故选C项。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。由第三段中划线词所在句后面的“After puberty (青春期), the body’s internal clock changes so that it is difficult for teens to fall asleep before 11 p.m.(进入青春期后，人体内部的生物钟会发生变化，青少年很难在晚上11点之前入睡)”可推知，划线词所在句“Yet the period of this nine hours shifts as a child gets older.”意为“然而，这9个小时的时间随着孩子长大而改变”。划线词shifts在此处意为“changes(变化)”。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段中的“In schools where the start time is after 8:30 in the morning, the teachers believe that there has been a real change in their students. They note that the students miss class less, pay more attention in class, perform better in class, and report lower levels of depression (沮丧).(在早上8:30以后开始上课的学校，老师们认为学生们已经发生了真正的变化。他们注意到，学生缺课少，在课堂上注意力更集中，在课堂上表现更好，而且抑郁程度较低)”可推知，老师们对推迟上课时间很满意。故选B项。
D
NOT that long ago, the world wondered whether clean energy could survive without government support. Now the question is how far it can spread. The number of electric vehicles. which was about 1 million in 2015, last year reached 2 million. In electricity generation, too, trend is with the greens. In the first half of this year wind, solar and hydro generated a record 35% of Germany's power.
Greater success is breeding greater ambition. California is proposing to reach 60% renewable energy by 2030: 176 countries have clean-energy goals. Hawaii, America's most oil-dependent state, has promised to be 100% renewable by the middle of the century. So have 48 poor countries vulnerable to climate change. This week the number of multinationals making a commitment to running their operations on 100% renewable energy rose to 100.
But not every target is helpful. To see why, consider that goal of 100% renewable energy. It makes solving climate change seem easy. In fact, though wind and solar can generate the whole country's electricity some day, renewables still account for less than 8% of the world's total power output. Moreover, cleaning up electricity is only part of the battle. Even though gas-fired heating and cooking can be at least as big a source of greenhouse-gas emissions, renewable heating gets little attention. Transport policy is unpredictable, too. Carmakers may hit their goal of annual sales of 10 million electric vehicles in a decade, but battery-powered road transport, shipping and aviation are dreams. A much-quoted claim that America could rely on wind, solar and hydro alone for its electricity has recently been bitterly criticized by a group of respected academics.
Most importantly, a 100% renewables target confuses means with ends. The priority for the planet is to stop net emissions（净排放量）of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide. Putting too much emphasis on wind, solar and other renewables may block off better carbon-reduction paths. After decades of investment, it is wrong to leave nuclear power off the table. Carbon emissions in Germany actually rose because it chose to phase out nuclear power gradually and so burned more coal. New technologies, such as "direct air capture" systems designed to separate carbon dioxide from the air, may in time prove vital. Likewise, greater energy efficiency could reduce emissions by even more than using renewables would.
32. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. the problem of climate change will be solved by using 100% renewable energy
B. with new technologies, Germany successfully cut down carbon emissions
C. it is probable that ships will one day be powered by battery
D. America is not likely to completely rely on wind, solar and hydro energy one day
33. According to the passage, carbon emissions may be reduced by .
A. promoting energy efficiency
B. blocking off carbon-reduction paths
C. using non-renewable heating
D. abandoning electric vehicles
34. The underlined phrase "phase out" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A. ignore B. reduce C. use D. invent
35. In which column can this passage be read?
A. Fashion B. Politics C. Economy D. Education
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。短文主要介绍了人类的主要目标是遏制全球变暖，而不是实现百分百再生能源。再生能源对环保和经济产生了诸多的影响
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“A much-quoted claim that America could rely on wind, solar and hydro alone for its electricity has recently been bitterly criticized by a group of respected academics.” 一种经常被引用的说法，即美国可以只依靠风能、太阳能和水力发电，最近遭到了一群受人尊敬的学者的严厉批评。可知美国不可能完全依靠风能、太阳能和水力发电，故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Likewise, greater energy efficiency could reduce emissions by even more than using renewables would” 同样，更高的能源效率可以比使用可再生能源减少更多的排放。可知提高能源效率可以减少碳排放。故选A。
【34题详解】

63. where 64. covering
65. suitable

67. constantly
68. findings
69. posted 70. is
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。作者在文章中介绍了几个不错的科学网站。
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意：正如你所知道的，科学在我们的教育中扮演着一个重要角色。此处泛指“一个重要角色”，应使用不定冠词，very是以辅音音素开头的词，应使用a。故填a。
【62题详解】
考查介词。句意：你想要紧跟最新的科学研究和发现吗？keep up with为固定搭配，意为“跟上”。故填with。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：有很多好的网站，在上面你可以查找科学世界中的最新信息。此处为定语从句，先行词websites为虚拟地点，在从句中做地点状语，应用关系副词where。故填where。
【64题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：这个网站报道的科学新闻覆盖了广泛范围的学科。cover和谓语动词reports之间无关联词，所以用非谓语形式，和主语news构成主动形式，所以用现在分词，表主动，作后置定语修饰news。故填covering。
【65题详解】
考查形容词。句意：这些文章是为年轻读者准备的，但是成人发现这个网站也适合他们。find后加宾语和宾语补足语，所以空格处应用形容词。根据but可知，前后句意相反，所以是这个网站也适合成人。故填suitable。
【66题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：另一个很棒的网站叫作“每日科学”，我每天都要查看。“one that I check out every day”是插入语，所以空格处为谓语动词。动词call和主语site构成被动关系，句子讲的是现在的客观事实，应用一般现在时。故填is called。
【67题详解】
考查副词。句意：这个网站持续更新新闻，通常是有关激动人心的改变我们对世界的看法的发现。修饰动词updated，应用副词。故填constantly。
【68题详解】
考查名词。句意：这个网站持续更新新闻，通常是有关激动人心的改变我们对世界的看法的发现。形容词exciting后应用名词，且根据定语从句中的谓语动词change可知，先行词“发现”应用复数。故填findings。
【69题详解】
考查时态。句意：这些网站上传最新的故事，并且保留所有他们发布早先发布过的文章。根据the past articles和earlier可知，应用一般过去时。故填posted。
【70题详解】
考查定语从句的主谓一致。句意：这样你就可以找到关于任何你感兴趣的科学领域的信息的文章。定语从句中的that代指先行词anything，所以定语从句中的主语为单数，句子讲的是现在的客观事实，应用一般现在时。故填is。
第三节 用所给词的适当形式填空 （共10小题，每题1分，满分10分）
71. They made a list of all the ways they could imagine _________(help)those who were in need.（用所给单词适当形式填空）

【答案】chatting
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：有的人坐在草地上；有的人在湖边散步，谈笑风生。句中有谓语动词are walking along且句中无连词，故应用chat的非谓语动词形式，句子主语others代表“其他人”，与chat为逻辑上的主动关系，即人发出聊天的动作，故应用chat的现在分词chatting，在句中作伴随状语。故填chatting。
73. We have to balance the need for _________ (accurate) with the need to provide timely information. （用所给单词适当形式填空）
【答案】accuracy

【详解】考查名词。句意：我们必须在对准确性的需求和提供及时信息的需要之间取得平衡。空格处涉及短语“the need for sth”，意为“对……的需要”，for为介词，后应接名词作宾语，accurate意为“精确的”，形容词词性，对应的名词为accuracy，意为“准确性”，表示抽象意义，不可数，符合句意。故填accuracy。
74. Over the years, I remained ________ (commit) to the values that my dad taught me. （用所给单词适当形式填空）
【答案】committed
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：这些年来，我一直坚守着父亲教给我的价值观。结合句意表示“坚持，继续致力于”可知，短语为remain committed to，committed 为形容词作表语。故填committed。
75. People tend to think that ________(economy) development is bad for the environment. （用所给单词适当形式填空）
【答案】economic
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：人们倾向于认为经济发展对环境有害。分析句子可知，设空处用形容词作定语，修饰名词development，再结合句意“经济”是economic。故填economic。
76. It is I rather than he that _________ (blame) for the traffic accident. （用所给单词适当形式填空）
【答案】am to blame
【解析】
【详解】考查主动表达被动。句意：这次交通事故应该由我而不是他来负责。分析句子结构可知，本句使用了强调句基本句型It is+被强调部分+that+句子其他部分，其中被强调的是主语I，后面的rather than he是个修饰性成分，空格处为谓语动词。结合句意“对……应负责任；应该为某事负责任”是固定搭配be to blame …。主动表达被动。本句陈述事实用一般现在时，且由主谓一致可知be动词用am。故填am to blame。
77. Noise is unpleasant, _________ (particular) when you are trying to sleep. （用所给单词适当形式填空）

78. ________ (suffer) from heart trouble for year, Professor White must take some medicine with him wherever he goes. （用所给单词适当形式填空）
【答案】Having suffered

【详解】考查现在分词的完成式。句意：怀特教授患有心脏病多年了，无论走到哪里，他都必须随身带些药。本句已有谓语动词take，且无连词，此处用非谓语动词形式，suffer与其逻辑主语Professor White之间是主动关系，且suffer发生在谓语动词take之前，此处用现在分词的完成式（having done）表主动，作状语，首字母大写。故填Having suffered。
79. The student ________ (absorb) in the games on the MP4 during class didn’t notice his teacher standing behind him. （用所给单词适当形式填空）
【答案】absorbed
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：这个上课专心于MP4上的游戏的学生，没有注意到站在他后面的老师。分析句子结构，可知absorb在句中应用非谓语动词形式，短语be absorbed in“专心于；全神贯注于”，此处省略be动词，用过去分词作后置定语。故填absorbed。
80. It is a (n) ________ (responsible) behavior for a parent to leave a baby alone at home. （用所给单词适当形式填空）
【答案】irresponsible
【解析】

【答案】 ①. must ②. have ③. sounded ④. saying
【解析】
【详解】考查情态动词和现在分词。由句意和谓语was可知，本句是对过去发生的动作很有把握的肯定推测，应用must have done形式，sound（听上去）；第四空与前句无连词连接，此处用非谓语形式，主语I 和动词say是逻辑上的主谓关系，应用现在分词（doing）表主动，作状语，say（说）。故填①must②have③sounded④saying。
82. 怀着发财的目的，许多中国人在19世纪来到澳大利亚淘金。

“I’m going to miss you so much, Poppy,” said the tall, thin teenager. He bent down to hug his old friend goodbye. He stood up, hugged his parents, and smiled, trying not to let his emotions get the better of him.
His parents were not quite able to control theirs. They had driven their son several hours out of town to the university where he would soon be living and studying. It was time to say goodbye for now at least. The family hugged and smiled through misty eyes and then laughed.
The boy lifted the last bag onto his shoulder, and flashed a bright smile. “I guess this is it,” he said. “I’ll see you back home in a month, okay?” His parents nodded, and they watched as he walked out of sight into the crowds of hundreds of students and parents. The boy’s mother turned to the dog, “Okay, Poppy, time to go back home.”
The house seemed quiet as a tomb without the boy living there. All that week, Poppy didn’t seem interested in her dinner, her favorite toy, or even in her daily walk. Her owners were sad too, but they knew their son would be back to visit. Poppy didn’t.
They offered the dog some of her favorite peanut butter treats. They even let her sit on the sofa, but the old girl just wasn’t her usual cheerful self. Her owners started to get worried. “What should we do to cheer Poppy up?” asked Dad. “We’ve tried everything.”
“I have an idea, but it might be a little crazy,” smiled Mom. “Without anybody left in the house but us, this place could use a bit of fun. Let’s get a little dog for Poppy.
It didn’t take long before they walked through the front door carrying a big box. Poppy welcomed them home as usual but when she saw the box, she stopped. She put her nose on it. Her tail began wagging (摆动) ever so slowly, then faster as she caught the smell.

【答案】Dad opened the box and a sweet little dog appeared. She was all white with shining big eyes, a black spot on its forehead making it more attractive. Her new owners gave her a new name, Spotty. Mom took her out of the box carefully, putting her beside Poppy’s feet. Poppy’s eyes were first filled with surprise and curiosity and then brightened with joy. Looking at this, the parents relieved because Poppy accepted Spotty and their plan worked.
A few weeks later, the boy arrived home from university. The first thing that caught his attention was the happy noise made by Poppy and another dog.When finding the boy back home from university, Poppy was overjoyed and introduced Spotty to him. The three, immediately became just one solid alliance. From their story we can see the fact that happiness between three is much more than between two or just having it alone.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇读后续写文章。文章讲述了男孩要去上大学，和自己的狗Poppy道别。而没有了男孩在家里，Poppy也非常想念男孩，于是男孩父母决定给Poppy买一条小狗作伴。
【详解】1. 第一步理解整篇文章，包括一些细节：一位少年去上大学，父母送他到大学里，他与家人和狗狗Poppy伤心地告别。他们约定一个月后回家见面。男孩走后，狗狗Poppy对一切都失去了兴趣：最爱的食物，最爱的玩具，甚至是出门散步，少年的父母为了让狗狗振作起来用尽办法，但是事情没有好转。少年的父母知道孩子会回来，而狗狗并不明白。后来妈妈想出一个主意：再养一只小狗，给Poppy作伴，poppy当时的反应：当她看到盒子时，她停下了。她把鼻子放在上面。她的尾巴开始摆动得越来越慢，然后越来越快，因为她闻到了气味。
2. 续写思路，第一段的首句Dad opened the box and a sweet little dog appeared.注意句子中的一个形容词sweet, little,盒子里的狗狗小小的，非常可爱，后面续写可以描述两只狗狗很快建立起友谊，Poppy不再情绪低落，小狗狗也很快融入这个家庭。第二段首句为A few weeks later, the boy arrived home from university. 可以续写为男孩加入到两个狗狗的友谊中，一人两狗相处的非常愉快，最后主题升华为：一人不能独享快乐，两人分享才能快乐，三人分享会有加倍的快乐。
3. 文本中划线的单词，Poppy, university, parents, back, cheerful 都是续写中必需的单词，其他划线单词根据续写情节选择使用。整体为一般过去时，注意句式的变化，各类从句和非谓语动词的使用。
4. 第一段续写可以细节描述小狗狗的可爱，粘人，以至于伤心的Poppy不得不喜欢上了他，忘记了自己的悲伤，男孩的父母也高兴地松了一口气。字数约70-80单词。第二段续写可以描述少年回家之后，见到Poppy和小狗狗之后的兴奋，原先两个伙伴分享的乐事变成了三个伙伴一起分享。
【点睛】范文内容完整，要点全面，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了较多主从复合句，如：The first thing that caught his attention was the happy noise made by Poppy and another dog.这句话运用了that引导的定语从句； From their story we can see the fact that happiness between three is much more than between two or just having it alone.这句话运用了that引导的同位语从句；文章也使用了一些固定词组，如be filled with; take…out of等。全文中没有中国式英语的句式，显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外，文章思路清晰、层次分明，上下句转换自然，为文章增色添彩。
