We’ll leave at 8 o’clock, so plan to be there at least fifteen minutes before that, 7:45 at the latest. You’d better set your alarms for 6:30, okay? If you’ve visited The Science Museum before, you’ll know that it’s enormous, and we can’t possibly see everything in one day. The Welcome Wing has three galleries which deal only with contemporary science. We’re going to have a guided tour of one of them. We’ve ordered lunch at the café, so we’ll all meet up there at 12:30. And don’t be late. We have to go to the cinema at 1:15. I think that’s all for now. Oh, one last thing. Check out The Science Museum website before we go. The more you read about it, the more interesting the visit will be.

Devon Gallagher, a college graduate from Philadelphia, wants the world to know exactly here she's been during her worldwide vacation in a special way.
The traveler, who was born with a bone disease, had her right leg amputated (截肢) at the age of four. Although the amputation caused setbacks for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.
To spread that message, Gallagher has taken to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the globe, but instead of simply using a geo-tag, she writes her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture.
Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam, relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of Barcelona, posing with a waffle in Brussels, taking in the spectacular Parthenon temple in Athens and enjoying a river cruise in Budapest, all with the well-known locations written on her artificial leg.
“I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it. One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalk-board, "Gallagher said. "My mum and grand-mother weren’t too keen on the idea, but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so I did.”
Gallagher said people often stare when she’s writing on her leg, but once she shares the photos she receives only positive feedback."My leg hasn’t stopped me from doing anything I've wanted to do, " she said. "I don’t know if it's my determination to prove to myself that I can do it, but regardless, I've been able to keep up with my peers and lead a pretty great life.”
Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams. And if life gives you an artificial leg, make art.
24. What message did Gallagher want to spread in her special way?
A. She enjoys her travelling across the globe.
B. She suffers little from her legs amputation.
C. She looks on her misfortune as another form of blessing.
D. She has exactly fallen in love with posting photos online.
25. Gallagher can best be described as________
A. helpful and ambitious B. friendly and generous
C. determined and creative D. independent and sensible
26. What does the underlined word “which” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The Continent. B. The pictures. C. The leg. D. The locations.
27. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A. Never Too Late to Share B. A Special Artificial Leg
C. An Outstanding Photographer D. Gallagher’s Summer Holiday
【答案】24. C 25. C 26. B 27. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了残疾大学生德文·加拉格尔在全球各地旅行时，在自己的假肢上写上自己所在位置，然后拍照上传社交媒体，她通过这样一种方式向人们传送积极向上的信息：绝不能让任何事阻碍你的梦想。如果生活给了你一条假腿，那就让它成为艺术。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Although the amputation caused setbacks for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.(虽然截肢在早期给加拉格尔带来了挫折，但她现在认为这种不幸正是对她精彩人生的最好激励)”及第三段首句“To spread that message, Gallagher has taken to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the globe(为了传递这一信息，加拉格尔在社交媒体上分享了她在全球各地旅行的照片)”可知，Gallagher 想传递的信息是：她认为自己的不幸正是对精彩人生的最好激励，她把不幸看作是另一种形式的祝福。故选C项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“‘My leg hasn’t stopped me from doing anything I've wanted to do, ’ she said. ‘I don’t know if it's my determination to prove to myself that I can do it, but regardless, I've been able to keep up with my peers and lead a pretty great life. ’(‘我的腿并没有阻止我做任何我想做的事情，’她说。‘我不知道是否是我的决心证明自己可以，但不管怎样，我已经能够赶上同龄人，过着非常棒的生活。’)”可知，没有什么能阻止Gallagher去做自己想做的事情，说明她意志坚定；根据第三段中“but instead of simply using a geo-tag, she writes her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture.(但她并没有简单地使用地理标签，而是在拍照前把自己的位置写在假肢上)”可知，Gallagher用一种特殊的方式来分享了她旅行，说明她非常有创意。故选C项。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。分析第四段中“Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam.(现在，她一直在欧洲大陆各地拍摄照片，其中包括她在阿姆斯特丹运河上骑车的照片) ”可知，其中“which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam,”是定语从句，划线词which是关系代词，指代先行词pictures。故选B项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，残疾大学生德文·加拉格尔在全球各地旅行时，在自己的假肢上写上自己所在位置，然后拍照上传社交媒体，她通过这样一种特殊方式向人们传送积极信息。写上地名的特殊假腿是重要载体，是Gallagher传送信息的关键，所以B项“A Special Artificial Leg”是最佳标题。故选B项。
C
Ecuador may have a new tourism jingle (广告歌). But they don’t want anyone to actually sing it. Indeed, the country’s latest national park is built on the belief that silence is golden. The South American country has become the first in the world to build a “quiet park” beside the Zabalo River where silence is protected like a natural resource.
There are no transport routes here. Nor residential and commercial developments. You can’t even hear the sound of power lines.
Named as Wilderness Quiet Park, the land is owned by the Cofán people of Ecuador. But hopes are high that this unique space in a world increasingly affected by noise will kickstart (启动) tourism in the region — quiet tourism, that is.
These days, it’s almost impossible to escape the human noise. And it’s a serious effect on the health of animals, including humans.
“Science has made it clear that noise pollution is not just an annoyance, it causes health loss and impacts wildlife’s ability to survive. By recognizing the Zabalo River as the world’s first quiet park, we are paving the way for many more quiet parks around the globe.” says Gordon Hempton, an ecologist and co-founder of Quiet Parks International, an organization which aims at spreading quiet across the globe.
So, what’s it actually like when nature is the only soundtrack? Here’s how Sam Goldman, a journalist, describes it: “The monkeys roar; insects buzz; and birdsong cackles …”
But the park not only gives nature a chance to find its voice. The people who own the land — the Cofán people — have long regarded themselves as caretakers of the rivers and rainforests in the region but their numbers have decreased to fewer than 2,000. Quiet Parks International will help the Cofan Nation “defend their lands and preserve their culture.”
28. What’s the purpose of this text?
A. To introduce a special park.
B. To explain a new living concept.
C. To warn people of noise pollution.
D. To recommend a travel destination.
29. What do we know about Wilderness Quiet Park?
A. It vaules natural quiet much.
B. It develops rapidly in business.
C. It can easily get rid of the human noise.
D. It provides tourists with various transport routes.
30. According to Gordon Hempton, .
A. wildlife in Ecuador are in danger of extinction
B. noise pollution has become a serious problem
C. the Zabalo River is the best quiet park in the world
D. there are already many quiet parks around the globe now
31. What can we infer about the Cofán people from the last paragraph?
A. They care little about environmental protection.
B. They are in need of help to protect their safety.
C. Their numbers have decreased due to noise pollution.
D. They have long been protecting their living surroundings.
【答案】28. A 29. A 30. B 31. D
【解析】

【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Indeed, the country’s latest national park is built on the belief that silence is golden. The South American country has become the first in the world to build a “quiet park” beside the Zabalo River where silence is protected like a natural resource.（事实上，这个国家最新的国家公园就是建立在“沉默是金”的信念之上的。这个南美国家成为世界上第一个在扎巴洛河边建造“宁静公园”的国家。在这里，宁静像一种自然资源一样受到保护。）”可知，这篇文章的目的是介绍一个特别的公园。故选A项。
【29题详解】

Nor residential and commercial developments. You can’t even hear the sound of power lines.（这里没有交通路线。也没有住宅和商业发展。你甚至听不到电线的声音。）”可知，“野外宁静公园”更崇尚自然的宁静。故选A项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中““Science has made it clear that noise pollution is not just an annoyance, it causes health loss and impacts wildlife’s ability to survive. By recognizing the Zabalo River as the world’s first quiet park, we are paving the way for many more quiet parks around the globe.” says Gordon Hempton（“科学已经表明，噪音污染不仅令人烦恼，它还会造成健康损失，影响野生动物的生存能力。通过承认扎巴洛河是世界上第一个安静的公园，我们正在为世界上更多的安静公园铺平道路。”Gordon Hempton说。）”可知，Gordon Hempton认为噪音污染已经成为一个严重的问题。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The people who own the land — the Cofán people — have long regarded themselves as caretakers of the rivers and rainforests in the region but their numbers have decreased to fewer than 2,000. （拥有这片土地人——科凡人——长期以来一直认为自己是该地区河流和热带雨林的守护者，但他们的数量已经减少到不足2000人。）”可知，科凡人一直在保护他们的生活环境。故选D项。
D
LONDON—A smart toilet could offer a mini health check every time you take a seat, scientists said recently, but privacy campaigners and potential users said the idea sat uncomfortably with them.
The device would identify users through an anal(肛门) scan using a camera fitted under the seat before checking their waste for disease markers, including early signs of cancer, says the US-led team who developed the prototype(原型).
“We know it seems strange, but as it turns out, your anal print is unique,” said Sanjiv Gambhir, a radiology professor at Stanford University, who led work on the project. “The smart toilet is the perfect way to make use of a source of data that’s typically ignored,” Gambhir said. “Everyone uses the bathroom—there’s really no avoiding it—and that enhances its value as a disease-detecting device.”
A set of devices fitted inside the toilet bowl identifies the users and monitors their waste for signs of ill health which could be shared with their doctors, researchers said in the scientific journal Nature Biomedical Engineering. Such devices could become common place in homes, said Gambhir, as consumers accept health monitoring tools like smartwatches and internet-connected home devices. But many were concerned about releasing their privacy, the researchers found following a 300-person survey to assess acceptance. Three in ten respondents said they would not want to use a smart toilet, with only about half reporting they would be “somewhat” or “very” comfortable with it. The most commonly reported concerns were over privacy and data security, found researchers, who said information gathered would be stored in a secure, cloud-based system.
Despite those assurances, privacy campaigners expressed fears about security problems. “Health data contains the most sensitive and revealing information about anyone,” said Edin Omanovic, advocacy director at London-based charity Privacy International. “Linking it to someone’s biometric ID risks exposing private details to third parties, either through data sharing or security drawbacks which leave back doors exposed.”
32. What does this smart toilet use to detect disease?
A. A smartwatch. B. A seat.
C. A cloud-based system. D. A camera.
33. What can we know about the disease-detecting devices?
A. They are widely accepted.
B. Gamhhir has confidence in their future.
C. Their function has been improved recently.
D. Signs of illness can he removed through them.
34. What can we infer about health data from the last paragraph?
A. It needn’t be taken seriously. B. It will be treated properly.
C. It may not be shared publicly. D. It can be exposed illegally.
35. Which of the following could he the best title for the text?
A. The use of a smart toilet B. The value of a smart toilet
C. A smart toilet without privacy D. A smart toilet with good intention
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. D 35. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了一款智能马桶，它能够通过摄像头进行肛门扫描并结合使用者排泄物检测疾病；但同时，由于将数据共享给医生或其潜在的安全隐患，这款智能马桶也存在个人信息泄露的风险。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“The device would identify users through an anal scan using a camera fitted under the seat before checking their waste for disease markers, including early signs of cancer, says the US-led team who developed the prototype.(研发该原型的美国领导团队表示，该设备可以通过安装在座位下的摄像头进行肛门扫描，然后检查用户的排泄物中的疾病标志物，包括癌症的早期迹象。)”可知，该马桶是通过摄像头扫描侦测疾病的。故选D项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段内容“Such devices could become common place in homes, said Gambhir, as consumers accept health monitoring tools like smartwatches and internet-connected home devices. (Gambir说，随着消费者接受智能手表和联网家庭设备等健康监测工具，这类设备可能会在家庭中普及。)”可知，Gambir认为这类设备可能会在家庭中普及，由此可推知，Gamhir对像智能马桶这样的疾病检测设备的未来充满信心。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容“Linking it to someone’s biometric ID risks exposing private details to third parties, either through data sharing or security drawbacks which leave back doors exposed.(将其与某人的生物识别ID相关联，可能会通过数据共享或安全缺陷将私人信息暴露给第三方。)”可知，该智能马桶可能会通过数据共享或者存在的安全缺陷将私人信息泄露给其他人。由此可推知，健康数据有可能通过共享或安全缺陷非法泄露给其他人。故选D项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通过阅读文章可知，文章体裁为新闻报道，首段内容揭示了文章的主旨大意，“LONDON—A smart toilet could offer a mini health check every time you take a seat, scientists said recently, but privacy campaigners and potential users said the idea sat uncomfortably with them.(伦敦——科学家最近表示，一款智能马桶可以在你每次坐下时提供迷你健康检查，但隐私保护人士和潜在用户表示，这一想法让他们感到不舒服。)”，即，文章主要以一款能够侦测身体健康的智能马桶这一话题进行介绍的。选项D“A smart toilet with good intention(一个有良好意图的智能马桶)”符合中心主旨，可作最佳标题。故选D项。

Different people explain passion (激情) differently. To some, it is finding their dream jobs, while for others, it is doing some voluntary work or following an entertaining hobby. Whatever the definition is some people simply can't discover their passion at all. ____36____
They never try. Many people never try to change their circumstances and move towards a more meaningful life. Therefore, there is no point in having any passion, let alone a fight for it. ____37____. They do not try to change their lifestyles even if they are not happy about them.
They live a busy life. Some people are so busy that they don't want to add further stress to their life. ____38____They don't show any interest in passion that can actually bring balance and happiness to their otherwise sorry lives.
They want to feel passion. These are the people who want to feel passion without doing anything. You need to remember that feelings are an outcome of experiences and passion is no difference. ____39____ For example, you can't like any actor without watching any of his movies.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了生活中有的人总是欠缺激情这种现象，对此，文章分析了这种现象存在的四种原因。
【36题详解】
分析全文可知，第一段提出一些人在生活中总是缺乏激情，接下来，每段都是解释这种现象的一个原因。根据前文“Whatever the definition is some people simply can't discover their passion at all. (不管定义是什么， 一些人就是不能找到他们的激情)”以及结合后文的四点原因可知，空处应该是承上启下，C选项“The reasons can be explained from several aspects. (原因可以从几个方面来解释)”符合，总领下文，故选C。
37题详解】
根据前文“Therefore, there is no point in having any passion, let alone a fight for it. (因此，拥有任何激情都是无意义的，更别提要为激情而奋斗了)”以及下文“They do not try to change their lifestyles even if they are not happy about them.(他们不会尝试改变他们的生活方式，即使他们生活感到不快乐)”可知，空处应该是进一步说明描述激情对于这些人的意义是虚无的，不值得尝试的，D选项“To these people, passion is not a worthy goal to achieve. (对于这些人来说，激情不是一个值得达成的目标)” 符合，承接上文，对上文做出进一步说明，同时引起下文，解释了下文人们为什么不会尝试改变生活，即因为激情对于他们没有意义，所以他们才不会尝试改变生活方式，故选D。
【38题详解】
根据前一句“Some people are so busy that they don't want to add further stress to their life. (一些人太忙了以致于他们不想给他们的生活增加更多的压力)”可知，他们太忙，所以他们对什么事情都缺乏激情，E选项“As a result, they don't have time to do something different in their life.(结果，他们没有时间在他们的生活中做一些不同的事)”符合，承接上文，与上文构成因果关系。故选E。
【39题详解】
根据前一句“You need to remember that feelings are an outcome of experiences and passion is no difference.(你需要记住的是，情感是一种体验的结果，激情也是如此)”结合下文“For example, you can't like any actor without watching any of his movies.(例如，如果没有看过某部电影，你不会喜欢这部电影的演员)”可知，此处举例子说明了没有体验就没有真正的激情，所以空处应该描述没有体验就不会对某件事有激情，F选项“In other words, you can't love anything if you don't actually experience it. (换句话说，如果你没有真正地体验过一件事，你是不可能爱上任何事情的)”符合，是对上句的具体解释，同时引起下文，故选F。
【40题详解】
根据后文句子“People who manage to find their passions are mostly interested in making something different, which may be some types of things such as providing a job for themselves, or creating a piece of art. On the other hand, people who are still searching for passion can't think out of the box and bring some uniqueness and interest in their life.(能够找到自己的激情的人大多对做一些不同的事情感兴趣，这可能是一些类型的事情，比如为自己提供一份工作，或者创作一件艺术品。另一方面，那些仍在寻找激情的人不能跳出框框，因此不能给他们的生活带来激情)”可知，本段主要描写的是，一些人没有激情是因为他们对做不同的事没有兴趣，不能打破常规思维，这说明他们缺乏创造力， B选项“They are short of creativity. (他们缺乏创造力)”符合，故选B。

【58题详解】

考查动名词。句意：例如，眼神交流——看着别人的眼睛——在一些国家是表示感兴趣的一种方式。分析句子结构，“____ (make) eye contact—looking into someone’s eyes—in some countries”在句子中是主语，make是动词，应该用动名词形式做主语。故填making。
【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意：例如，眼神交流——看着别人的眼睛——在一些国家是表示感兴趣的一种方式。根据句意，此处用不定冠词a表示数量，意思为“一种”；way的发音是以辅音因素开头，因此用不定冠词a。故填a。

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。
It was somewhere between spring and summer my mom and I were driving through the countryside. Back then I was 13 years old and always felt unhappy with Mom. But little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one.
A pot of flowers sat in the back seat, whose heavenly scent filled the car. Suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, my mom pulled over. “What are you doing？” I cried, fearing that the car had broken down and we’d be stuck there, so far from home. But that wasn’t the case. My mom hopped out (快速跳出来) of the car, grabbing the flowers from the back seat. “It’ll just be a minute，” she called back through the open windows.
My eyes impatiently skimmed the edge of the road before settling on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home. I looked back to the building, somewhat annoyed, as my mom reappeared—empty-handed.
Before she started the car, curiosity drove me to ask, “Do you know someone there？” She shook her head. “Then what did you do with the flowers？” She smiled slightly, “I gave them to the receptionist(前台接待员).” “What？” She laughed at my confusion. “I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them, especially who hasn’t gotten any in a while.”
I kept silent for a moment. Not long after we continued our driving, I spoke again, “Did you leave your name? ”To this she answered instantly, “No. Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good, which is enough of a thank for me.”
Suddenly, still thinking about Mom’s deeds, I heard something burst loudly. It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse, because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it, and we didn’t know where the garage was. It also seemed impossible to wait for any passer-by, since we had seen so few along the way.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应的位置作答。
Paragraph 1：
We were worrying about what could be done._____________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
As we drove along, a flower shop came into sight on the road.______________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1：We_were_worrying_about_what_could_be_done. But after waiting in vain for a considerable time, Mom and I decided to walk back the road to the nursing home and seek help. God knows how far we had driven! When we arrived, the receptionist was surprised, but warmly helped us contact the garage. There, the old men who had received the flowers were excited to meet us, talking about how great that day was. It amazed us what random actions of kindness could mean to the people who received it. While we were laughing and talking merrily, the garage got our car repaired.
Paragraph 2：As_we_drove_along,_a_flower_shop_came_into_sight_on_the_road. I paced quickly into the flower shop, where a bunch of flowers glowing red in full bloom caught my eye. Having witnessed the effect of kindness, I decided to send Mom the sweet flowers. Soon, the heavenly scent filled the car again. Mom tried to conceal her excitement, but the glittering tears failed her. Through this trip, I discovered that, despite my occasional anger towards her, I actually felt proud of her. This was the trip of my life.

Devon Gallagher, a college graduate from Philadelphia, wants the world to know exactly here she's been during her worldwide vacation in a special way.
The traveler, who was born with a bone disease, had her right leg amputated (截肢) at the age of four. Although the amputation caused setbacks for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.
To spread that message, Gallagher has taken to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the globe, but instead of simply using a geo-tag, she writes her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture.
Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam, relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of Barcelona, posing with a waffle in Brussels, taking in the spectacular Parthenon temple in Athens and enjoying a river cruise in Budapest, all with the well-known locations written on her artificial leg.
“I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it. One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalk-board, "Gallagher said. "My mum and grand-mother weren’t too keen on the idea, but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so I did.”
Gallagher said people often stare when she’s writing on her leg, but once she shares the photos she receives only positive feedback."My leg hasn’t stopped me from doing anything I've wanted to do, " she said. "I don’t know if it's my determination to prove to myself that I can do it, but regardless, I've been able to keep up with my peers and lead a pretty great life.”
Gallagher shows us that you should never let anything stand in the way of your dreams. And if life gives you an artificial leg, make art.
24. What message did Gallagher want to spread in her special way?
A. She enjoys her travelling across the globe.
B. She suffers little from her legs amputation.
C. She looks on her misfortune as another form of blessing.
D. She has exactly fallen in love with posting photos online.
25. Gallagher can best be described as________
A. helpful and ambitious B. friendly and generous
C. determined and creative D. independent and sensible
26. What does the underlined word “which” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The Continent. B. The pictures. C. The leg. D. The locations.
27. Which of the following might be the best title for the text?
A. Never Too Late to Share B. A Special Artificial Leg
C. An Outstanding Photographer D. Gallagher’s Summer Holiday
【答案】24. C 25. C 26. B 27. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了残疾大学生德文·加拉格尔在全球各地旅行时，在自己的假肢上写上自己所在位置，然后拍照上传社交媒体，她通过这样一种方式向人们传送积极向上的信息：绝不能让任何事阻碍你的梦想。如果生活给了你一条假腿，那就让它成为艺术。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Although the amputation caused setbacks for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.(虽然截肢在早期给加拉格尔带来了挫折，但她现在认为这种不幸正是对她精彩人生的最好激励)”及第三段首句“To spread that message, Gallagher has taken to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the globe(为了传递这一信息，加拉格尔在社交媒体上分享了她在全球各地旅行的照片)”可知，Gallagher 想传递的信息是：她认为自己的不幸正是对精彩人生的最好激励，她把不幸看作是另一种形式的祝福。故选C项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“‘My leg hasn’t stopped me from doing anything I've wanted to do, ’ she said. ‘I don’t know if it's my determination to prove to myself that I can do it, but regardless, I've been able to keep up with my peers and lead a pretty great life. ’(‘我的腿并没有阻止我做任何我想做的事情，’她说。‘我不知道是否是我的决心证明自己可以，但不管怎样，我已经能够赶上同龄人，过着非常棒的生活。’)”可知，没有什么能阻止Gallagher去做自己想做的事情，说明她意志坚定；根据第三段中“but instead of simply using a geo-tag, she writes her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture.(但她并没有简单地使用地理标签，而是在拍照前把自己的位置写在假肢上)”可知，Gallagher用一种特殊的方式来分享了她旅行，说明她非常有创意。故选C项。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。分析第四段中“Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam.(现在，她一直在欧洲大陆各地拍摄照片，其中包括她在阿姆斯特丹运河上骑车的照片) ”可知，其中“which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam,”是定语从句，划线词which是关系代词，指代先行词pictures。故选B项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，残疾大学生德文·加拉格尔在全球各地旅行时，在自己的假肢上写上自己所在位置，然后拍照上传社交媒体，她通过这样一种特殊方式向人们传送积极信息。写上地名的特殊假腿是重要载体，是Gallagher传送信息的关键，所以B项“A Special Artificial Leg”是最佳标题。故选B项。
C
Ecuador may have a new tourism jingle (广告歌). But they don’t want anyone to actually sing it. Indeed, the country’s latest national park is built on the belief that silence is golden. The South American country has become the first in the world to build a “quiet park” beside the Zabalo River where silence is protected like a natural resource.
There are no transport routes here. Nor residential and commercial developments. You can’t even hear the sound of power lines.
Named as Wilderness Quiet Park, the land is owned by the Cofán people of Ecuador. But hopes are high that this unique space in a world increasingly affected by noise will kickstart (启动) tourism in the region — quiet tourism, that is.
These days, it’s almost impossible to escape the human noise. And it’s a serious effect on the health of animals, including humans.
“Science has made it clear that noise pollution is not just an annoyance, it causes health loss and impacts wildlife’s ability to survive. By recognizing the Zabalo River as the world’s first quiet park, we are paving the way for many more quiet parks around the globe.” says Gordon Hempton, an ecologist and co-founder of Quiet Parks International, an organization which aims at spreading quiet across the globe.
So, what’s it actually like when nature is the only soundtrack? Here’s how Sam Goldman, a journalist, describes it: “The monkeys roar; insects buzz; and birdsong cackles …”
But the park not only gives nature a chance to find its voice. The people who own the land — the Cofán people — have long regarded themselves as caretakers of the rivers and rainforests in the region but their numbers have decreased to fewer than 2,000. Quiet Parks International will help the Cofan Nation “defend their lands and preserve their culture.”
28. What’s the purpose of this text?
A. To introduce a special park.
B. To explain a new living concept.
C. To warn people of noise pollution.
D. To recommend a travel destination.
29. What do we know about Wilderness Quiet Park?
A. It vaules natural quiet much.
B. It develops rapidly in business.
C. It can easily get rid of the human noise.
D. It provides tourists with various transport routes.
30. According to Gordon Hempton, .
A. wildlife in Ecuador are in danger of extinction
B. noise pollution has become a serious problem
C. the Zabalo River is the best quiet park in the world
D. there are already many quiet parks around the globe now
31. What can we infer about the Cofán people from the last paragraph?
A. They care little about environmental protection.
B. They are in need of help to protect their safety.
C. Their numbers have decreased due to noise pollution.
D. They have long been protecting their living surroundings.
【答案】28. A 29. A 30. B 31. D

LONDON—A smart toilet could offer a mini health check every time you take a seat, scientists said recently, but privacy campaigners and potential users said the idea sat uncomfortably with them.
The device would identify users through an anal(肛门) scan using a camera fitted under the seat before checking their waste for disease markers, including early signs of cancer, says the US-led team who developed the prototype(原型).
“We know it seems strange, but as it turns out, your anal print is unique,” said Sanjiv Gambhir, a radiology professor at Stanford University, who led work on the project. “The smart toilet is the perfect way to make use of a source of data that’s typically ignored,” Gambhir said. “Everyone uses the bathroom—there’s really no avoiding it—and that enhances its value as a disease-detecting device.”
A set of devices fitted inside the toilet bowl identifies the users and monitors their waste for signs of ill health which could be shared with their doctors, researchers said in the scientific journal Nature Biomedical Engineering. Such devices could become common place in homes, said Gambhir, as consumers accept health monitoring tools like smartwatches and internet-connected home devices. But many were concerned about releasing their privacy, the researchers found following a 300-person survey to assess acceptance. Three in ten respondents said they would not want to use a smart toilet, with only about half reporting they would be “somewhat” or “very” comfortable with it. The most commonly reported concerns were over privacy and data security, found researchers, who said information gathered would be stored in a secure, cloud-based system.
Despite those assurances, privacy campaigners expressed fears about security problems. “Health data contains the most sensitive and revealing information about anyone,” said Edin Omanovic, advocacy director at London-based charity Privacy International. “Linking it to someone’s biometric ID risks exposing private details to third parties, either through data sharing or security drawbacks which leave back doors exposed.”
32. What does this smart toilet use to detect disease?
A. A smartwatch. B. A seat.
C. A cloud-based system. D. A camera.
33. What can we know about the disease-detecting devices?
A. They are widely accepted.
B. Gamhhir has confidence in their future.
C. Their function has been improved recently.
D. Signs of illness can he removed through them.
34. What can we infer about health data from the last paragraph?
A. It needn’t be taken seriously. B. It will be treated properly.
C. It may not be shared publicly. D. It can be exposed illegally.
35. Which of the following could he the best title for the text?
A. The use of a smart toilet B. The value of a smart toilet
C. A smart toilet without privacy D. A smart toilet with good intention
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. D 35. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了一款智能马桶，它能够通过摄像头进行肛门扫描并结合使用者排泄物检测疾病；但同时，由于将数据共享给医生或其潜在的安全隐患，这款智能马桶也存在个人信息泄露的风险。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“The device would identify users through an anal scan using a camera fitted under the seat before checking their waste for disease markers, including early signs of cancer, says the US-led team who developed the prototype.(研发该原型的美国领导团队表示，该设备可以通过安装在座位下的摄像头进行肛门扫描，然后检查用户的排泄物中的疾病标志物，包括癌症的早期迹象。)”可知，该马桶是通过摄像头扫描侦测疾病的。故选D项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段内容“Such devices could become common place in homes, said Gambhir, as consumers accept health monitoring tools like smartwatches and internet-connected home devices. (Gambir说，随着消费者接受智能手表和联网家庭设备等健康监测工具，这类设备可能会在家庭中普及。)”可知，Gambir认为这类设备可能会在家庭中普及，由此可推知，Gamhir对像智能马桶这样的疾病检测设备的未来充满信心。故选B项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容“Linking it to someone’s biometric ID risks exposing private details to third parties, either through data sharing or security drawbacks which leave back doors exposed.(将其与某人的生物识别ID相关联，可能会通过数据共享或安全缺陷将私人信息暴露给第三方。)”可知，该智能马桶可能会通过数据共享或者存在的安全缺陷将私人信息泄露给其他人。由此可推知，健康数据有可能通过共享或安全缺陷非法泄露给其他人。故选D项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通过阅读文章可知，文章体裁为新闻报道，首段内容揭示了文章的主旨大意，“LONDON—A smart toilet could offer a mini health check every time you take a seat, scientists said recently, but privacy campaigners and potential users said the idea sat uncomfortably with them.(伦敦——科学家最近表示，一款智能马桶可以在你每次坐下时提供迷你健康检查，但隐私保护人士和潜在用户表示，这一想法让他们感到不舒服。)”，即，文章主要以一款能够侦测身体健康的智能马桶这一话题进行介绍的。选项D“A smart toilet with good intention(一个有良好意图的智能马桶)”符合中心主旨，可作最佳标题。故选D项。

You need to remember that feelings are an outcome of experiences and passion is no difference. ____39____ For example, you can't like any actor without watching any of his movies. You can't be passionate about painting if you have never drawn anything in your life.
____40____ People who manage to find their passions are mostly interested in making something different, which may be some types of things such as providing a job for themselves, or creating a piece of art. On the other hand, people who are still searching for passion can't think out of the box and bring some uniqueness and interest in their life.
A. They are always curious.
B. They are short of creativity.
C. The reasons can be explained from several aspects.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了生活中有的人总是欠缺激情这种现象，对此，文章分析了这种现象存在的四种原因。
【36题详解】
分析全文可知，第一段提出一些人在生活中总是缺乏激情，接下来，每段都是解释这种现象的一个原因。根据前文“Whatever the definition is some people simply can't discover their passion at all. (不管定义是什么， 一些人就是不能找到他们的激情)”以及结合后文的四点原因可知，空处应该是承上启下，C选项“The reasons can be explained from several aspects. (原因可以从几个方面来解释)”符合，总领下文，故选C。
37题详解】
根据前文“Therefore, there is no point in having any passion, let alone a fight for it. (因此，拥有任何激情都是无意义的，更别提要为激情而奋斗了)”以及下文“They do not try to change their lifestyles even if they are not happy about them.(他们不会尝试改变他们的生活方式，即使他们生活感到不快乐)”可知，空处应该是进一步说明描述激情对于这些人的意义是虚无的，不值得尝试的，D选项“To these people, passion is not a worthy goal to achieve. (对于这些人来说，激情不是一个值得达成的目标)” 符合，承接上文，对上文做出进一步说明，同时引起下文，解释了下文人们为什么不会尝试改变生活，即因为激情对于他们没有意义，所以他们才不会尝试改变生活方式，故选D。
【38题详解】
根据前一句“Some people are so busy that they don't want to add further stress to their life. (一些人太忙了以致于他们不想给他们的生活增加更多的压力)”可知，他们太忙，所以他们对什么事情都缺乏激情，E选项“As a result, they don't have time to do something different in their life.(结果，他们没有时间在他们的生活中做一些不同的事)”符合，承接上文，与上文构成因果关系。故选E。
【39题详解】
根据前一句“You need to remember that feelings are an outcome of experiences and passion is no difference.(你需要记住的是，情感是一种体验的结果，激情也是如此)”结合下文“For example, you can't like any actor without watching any of his movies.(例如，如果没有看过某部电影，你不会喜欢这部电影的演员)”可知，此处举例子说明了没有体验就没有真正的激情，所以空处应该描述没有体验就不会对某件事有激情，F选项“In other words, you can't love anything if you don't actually experience it. (换句话说，如果你没有真正地体验过一件事，你是不可能爱上任何事情的)”符合，是对上句的具体解释，同时引起下文，故选F。
【40题详解】
根据后文句子“People who manage to find their passions are mostly interested in making something different, which may be some types of things such as providing a job for themselves, or creating a piece of art. On the other hand, people who are still searching for passion can't think out of the box and bring some uniqueness and interest in their life.(能够找到自己的激情的人大多对做一些不同的事情感兴趣，这可能是一些类型的事情，比如为自己提供一份工作，或者创作一件艺术品。另一方面，那些仍在寻找激情的人不能跳出框框，因此不能给他们的生活带来激情)”可知，本段主要描写的是，一些人没有激情是因为他们对做不同的事没有兴趣，不能打破常规思维，这说明他们缺乏创造力， B选项“They are short of creativity. (他们缺乏创造力)”符合，故选B。

【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意：例如，眼神交流——看着别人的眼睛——在一些国家是表示感兴趣的一种方式。根据句意，此处用不定冠词a表示数量，意思为“一种”；way的发音是以辅音因素开头，因此用不定冠词a。故填a。

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。
It was somewhere between spring and summer my mom and I were driving through the countryside. Back then I was 13 years old and always felt unhappy with Mom. But little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one.
A pot of flowers sat in the back seat, whose heavenly scent filled the car. Suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, my mom pulled over. “What are you doing？” I cried, fearing that the car had broken down and we’d be stuck there, so far from home. But that wasn’t the case. My mom hopped out (快速跳出来) of the car, grabbing the flowers from the back seat. “It’ll just be a minute，” she called back through the open windows.
My eyes impatiently skimmed the edge of the road before settling on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home. I looked back to the building, somewhat annoyed, as my mom reappeared—empty-handed.
Before she started the car, curiosity drove me to ask, “Do you know someone there？” She shook her head. “Then what did you do with the flowers？” She smiled slightly, “I gave them to the receptionist(前台接待员).” “What？” She laughed at my confusion. “I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them, especially who hasn’t gotten any in a while.”
I kept silent for a moment. Not long after we continued our driving, I spoke again, “Did you leave your name? ”To this she answered instantly, “No. Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good, which is enough of a thank for me.”
Suddenly, still thinking about Mom’s deeds, I heard something burst loudly. It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse, because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it, and we didn’t know where the garage was. It also seemed impossible to wait for any passer-by, since we had seen so few along the way.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应的位置作答。
Paragraph 1：
We were worrying about what could be done._____________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
As we drove along, a flower shop came into sight on the road.______________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1：We_were_worrying_about_what_could_be_done. But after waiting in vain for a considerable time, Mom and I decided to walk back the road to the nursing home and seek help. God knows how far we had driven! When we arrived, the receptionist was surprised, but warmly helped us contact the garage. There, the old men who had received the flowers were excited to meet us, talking about how great that day was. It amazed us what random actions of kindness could mean to the people who received it. While we were laughing and talking merrily, the garage got our car repaired.
Paragraph 2：As_we_drove_along,_a_flower_shop_came_into_sight_on_the_road. I paced quickly into the flower shop, where a bunch of flowers glowing red in full bloom caught my eye. Having witnessed the effect of kindness, I decided to send Mom the sweet flowers. Soon, the heavenly scent filled the car again. Mom tried to conceal her excitement, but the glittering tears failed her. Through this trip, I discovered that, despite my occasional anger towards her, I actually felt proud of her. This was the trip of my life.
