Félix “Andarin”Carvajal was a born runner. As a boy, he spent his childhood running up and down nearby hills. Years later, as a postman, Carvajal became well-known in the city of Havana, and eventually, he began to put his fame to use,seeking out donations so he might represent Cuba as a marathon runner at the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis, Missouri. At the time, there was no state support for Olympic athletes in Cuba.
But even with the money, Carvajal nearly didn’t make it there. His journey to the Games took him first to New Orleans，where he lost all the money he had saved up for the trip. In a foreign city, Carvajal began to walk north up along the Mississippi River to St. Louis. It was hundreds of miles, but between walking and hitching(搭便车) rides, he was able to reach St. Louis in time for his event.
It was August in St. Louis and Carvajal stood in the staging area，hungry and out of shape and tired. Carvajal took off to a commanding early lead despite the fact that he had not eaten for two days. Carvajal had never particularly believed in pacing himself. Carvajal was mostly self-trained and his ideas about running had always been straightforward: to run far and run fast and run until you can’t go anymore. But 26.2 miles is a long distance. Carvajal was reported to have picked and eaten five green apples while running and became badly ill with a stomachache. Miraculously Carvajal managed to return to the race and finish in fourth place.
The 1904 Olympics was the peak of Carvajal’s international career. But he remained a runner for the rest of his life. At 55 years old, Carvajal ran the entire length of Cuba along the country’s main highway, a distance of nearly 700 miles. Toward the end of his life, he performed a short running demonstration.“This is to show you that I still run,” he told the crowd.
4. What did Carvajal use his fame to do?
A. Get a job as a postman.
B. Inspire more people to run.
C. Support professional athletes in Cuba.
D. Raise money for his trip to the Olympics.
5. What happened to Carvajal according to paragraph 2?
A. He lost all his money. B. He got lost in a foreign city.
C. He traveled round New Orleans. D. He walked to the Mississippi River.
6. What did Carvajal believe in?
A. Keeping pace with most runners.
B. Running fast from the beginning.
C. Speeding up in the middle of a race.
D. Running at an average speed all through a race.
7. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. A man always in need. B. A man born for medals.
C. A man always on the move. D. A man devoted to charity.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了热爱运动Carvajal，坚持跑步的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Years later, as a postman, Carvajal became well-known in the city of Havana, and eventually, he began to put his fame to use,seeking out donations so he might represent Cuba as a marathon runner at the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis, Missouri. At the time, there was no state support for Olympic athletes in Cuba.”（多年以后，作为一名邮递员，卡瓦哈尔在哈瓦那市声名鹊起，最终，他开始利用自己的名声，寻求捐款，以便在密苏里州圣路易斯的1904年夏季奥林匹克运动会上代表古巴参加马拉松比赛。当时，古巴没有国家对奥运会运动员的支持。）可知，在Carvajal出名后，Carvajal利用自己的名声为自己能代表古巴参加1904年夏季奥林匹克寻求捐款。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“But even with the money, Carvajal nearly didn’t make it there. His journey to the Games took him first to New Orleans，where he lost all the money he had saved up for the trip. ”（但即使有了钱，卡瓦哈尔也差点没能到达那里。他的奥运之旅首先把他带到了新奥尔良，在那里他失去了所有为这次旅行积攒的钱。）可知，在去参加奥运会的途中——奥尔良，他失去了所有为这次旅行积攒的钱。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Carvajal was mostly self-trained and his ideas about running had always been straightforward: to run far and run fast and run until you can’t go anymore.”（卡瓦哈尔基本上是自学成才，他对跑步的想法一直很直接: 跑得远，跑得快，跑到你再也跑不动为止。）可知，在Carvajal看来，跑步就是跑得远，跑得快，跑到你再也跑不动为止。即他认为从一开始就要跑的快。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，文章一开始提到天生爱跑步的Carvajal在自己成名后，他利用自己的名声为自己能代表古巴参加1904年夏季奥林匹克寻求捐款。随后的内容提到了他在奥运会上获得了第四名的成绩，这成为了他运动生涯的巅峰，此后在他的余生中，他一直是一名跑步者。55岁时，Carvajal跑完了整个古巴，直至他生命的最后，他依旧做了一个简短的跑步演示。告诉人们，他还在跑步，所以文章的标题可以为“一直在跑步的人”，选项C符合题意，故选C。
C
Nowadays, more stores and restaurants are not accepting cash as payment. Instead, customers must pay with a credit card, or by smartphone app.
Many business owners say that being cashless has helped them streamline the way their business runs. Staff members don't have to worry about having enough money in the cash register to make change or about taking bills and coins to the bank.
However according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, more than 8 million households in the United States don't have bank accounts. Also, many people, including kids, don't meet the requirements for a credit card.
“A cashless economy is not an inclusive economy. There are consumers who can't get a credit card, because of low income. When stores refuse to accept cash, they exclude low-income or homeless people,” says Tazra Mitchell, a policy director at the DC Fiscal Policy Institute.
Plus, people who do have credit cards might prefer to pay in cash. “Cash is used by almost eight in 10 people in the US every month. That's more than any other payment type,” says Nick Bourke, a director at the Pew Charitable Trusts' consumer finance project.
Lawmakers in several places have taken steps to ban cashless stores. A handful of major cities — including New. York City and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania — have already passed laws to address the problem. In San Francisco, California, a law banning cashless stores was passed last May. It says most stores in the city must allow customers to pay with cash. Derek Remski helped write the San Francisco law. Remski says, "It's about understanding that not everyone has equal access to things.”
8. What does the underlined word “streamline” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Record. B. Understand. C. Redevelop. D. Simplify
9. What does Tazra Mitchell think of a cashless economy?
A. It is unfair to some people. B. It is enjoyed by bank workers.
C. It is advantageous to customers. D. It is the result of the marketplace.
10. What can we learn from paragraph 5?
A. Cash payment is still very popular with consumers.
B. Cashless stores will be driven out of the market.
C. Stores should allow more than one payment type.
D. Paying with credit cards has its own disadvantages.
11. What was some cities’ attitude towards going cashless?
A. They encouraged it. B. They fought against it.
C. They cared little about it. D. They were hopeful about it.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。现在，越来越多的商店和餐馆不接受现金付款。相反，消费者必须使用信用卡或智能手机应用程序支付。文章主要说明了如今的无现金化的社会现象，指出人们对此的不同看法和态度。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Staff members don't have to worry about having enough money in the cash register to make change or about taking bills and coins to the bank.”可知，工作人员不用担心收银机里有足够的钱来找零，也不用担心把钞票和硬币拿到银行，说明无现金化帮助他们简化了经营方式。故划线词意思是“简化”。A. Record.记录；B. Understand.理解；C. Redevelop.再发展；D. Simplify简化。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段““A cashless economy is not an inclusive economy. There are consumers who can't get a credit card, because of low income. When stores refuse to accept cash, they exclude low-income or homeless people,” says Tazra Mitchell, a policy director at the DC Fiscal Policy Institute.(“无现金经济不是包容性经济。 有些消费者因为收入低而拿不到信用卡。当商店拒绝接受现金时，他们将低收入或无家可归的人排除在外，”华盛顿特区财政政策研究所的政策主任Tazra Mitchell说)”可知，Tazra Mitchell认为无现金经济对某些人是不公平的。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Cash is used by almost eight in 10 people in the US every month. That's more than any other payment type(在美国，每10个人中就有8个人每月使用现金。这比任何其他支付方式都要多)”可知，现金支付仍然很受消费者欢迎。故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Lawmakers in several places have taken steps to ban cashless stores. A handful of major cities—including New. York City and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania—have already passed laws to address the problem. In San Francisco, California, a law banning cashless stores was passed last May. (一些地方的立法者已经采取措施禁止无现金商店。包括纽约在内的几个主要城市。约克市和宾夕法尼亚州的费城已经通过了法律来解决这个问题。 在加利福尼亚州的旧金山，去年5月通过了一项禁止无现金商店的法律。该公司表示，该市大多数商店必须允许顾客用现金支付)”可知，一些城市对无现金化持反对态度。故选B。
D
400 million tons of plastic are generated annually, most of which comes from single-use plastic. While countries are making progress in reducing this waste through paper bags and straws, there are still applications where the properties of plastic are necessary.
Transparent (透明的) wood is an alternative for such applications and is highly preferred since it prevents the harm of petroleum-derived (石油衍生的) plastic products. German scientist Siegfried Fink first created transparent wood in the year 1992, and over the past three decades it has been significantly improved by other researchers as well.
In its natural form, wood is not transparent. However, researchers have found that removing lignin, a naturally occurring biopolymer that provides structural support for the plant tissue, can make it transparent. To do so, the wood is soaked in a warm solution consisting of multiple chemicals, followed by boiling it in another solution. This removes the lignin completely and turns the wood white. However, the space that was occupied by lignin needs to be filled up to maintain structural integrity. This process is done by using a resin (树脂) at a temperature of 185 Fahrenheit (85℃).
The final product can have as much as 90 transparency, and it doesn’t break easily. More importantly, it is more biodegradable than glass or plastic.
While transparent wood isn’t commercial yet, it has been employed in a wide variety of applications ranging from construction to energy storage, making flexible electronics and packaging.
The researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) conducted a life-cycle analysis (LCA) of transparent wood to determine the environmental impact of its production and end-of-life (EOL) cycle. The study found that using hydrogen peroxide for delignification, followed by using epoxy for infiltration, was the most eco-friendly. When scaled up for industrial production, the former method would lower electricity consumption by as much as 98.8 percent.
EOL analysis showed that transparent wood had a reduced ecological impact compared to polyethylene (聚乙烯), paving the way for it to be commercially adapted to replace the petroleum-based material.
12. Why is transparent wood preferred compared to plastic?
A. It is environmentally friendly. B. It can be used repeatedly.
C. It can be used longer. D. It is easier to make.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The natural form of wood. B. The importance of chemicals
C. How lignin keeps wood strong. D. How transparent wood is made.
14. What did the researchers at IIT find about transparent wood?
A. Potential damage caused by it to the environment.
B. The most eco-friendly way to produce it.
C. It will replace plastic soon.
D. It can be recycled.
15. What can be expected of transparent wood’s marketing?
A. Promising. B. Difficult. C. rewarding. D. Uncertain.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Transparent (透明的) wood is an alternative for such applications and is highly preferred since it prevents the harm of petroleum-derived (石油衍生的) plastic products.(透明木材是这种应用的替代品，由于它可以防止石油衍生塑料产品的危害，因此非常受欢迎。)”可知，透明木材比塑料更受欢迎，因为它是环保的。故选A。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段的“To do so, the wood is soaked in a warm solution consisting of multiple chemicals, followed by boiling it in another solution. This removes the lignin completely and turns the wood white. However, the space that was occupied by lignin needs to be filled up to maintain structural integrity. This process is done by using a resin (树脂) at a temperature of 185 Fahrenheit (85℃).(为此，将木材浸泡在含有多种化学物质的温溶液中，然后在另一种溶液中煮沸。这样可以完全去除木质素，使木材变成白色。然而，木质素所占据的空间需要被填满，以保持结构的完整性。这个过程是通过在185华氏度（85℃）的温度下使用树脂来完成的。)”可知，第三段主要讲的是透明木材是如何制成的。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“The study found that using hydrogen peroxide for delignification, followed by using epoxy for infiltration, was the most eco-friendly.(研究发现，使用双氧水去木质素，其次使用环氧树脂渗透，是最环保的。)”可知，IIT的研究人员发现透明木材最环保的生产方式，故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“EOL analysis showed that transparent wood had a reduced ecological impact compared to polyethylene , paving the way for it to be commercially adapted to replace the petroleum-based material.(EOL分析表明，与聚乙烯相比，透明木材对生态的影响更小，为其在商业上取代石油基材料铺平了道路。)”可知，透明木材是有前途的，故选A。

【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：春天是游览江南地区最好的时间，该地区位于长江下游附近，拥有绝美的风景、丰富的文化、美食和温暖的气候。view在句中意为“自然美景，风景”，是可数名词，空前没有冠词限定，需填名词复数形式表泛指。故填views。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在众多旅游景点中，中国东部浙江省的台州市是其中之一，这是一个偏僻的目的地，可以提供真正的江南旅游体验。分析句子可知，空后的destination是可知名词，此处表示泛指，需用冠词限定，off是元音音素开头的单词，应填不定冠词an。故填an。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：嘉芝古街位于市中心，全长1公里，街道两旁有30多座老式建筑，如当铺和酒馆，这些建筑在过去几年里按照严格的标准进行了修复，被恢复到了它们的原始状态。分析句子可知，本句的谓语动词是is lined up，因此locate是非谓语动词。固定短语be located (in/at)意为“位于”，在句中作状语，位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Located。
【39题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：嘉芝古街位于市中心，全长1公里，街道两旁有30多座老式建筑，如当铺和酒馆，这些建筑在过去几年里按照严格的标准进行了修复，被恢复到了它们的原始状态。分析句子可知，repair是定语从句中的谓语动词，且repair与其先行词30 old buildings是被动关系，且句中有时间状语over the past few years，因此此空应用现在完成时的被动语态。故填have been repaired。
【40题详解】

考查形容词。句意：这条街的繁荣可以追溯到元朝（1271-1368），当时由于海洋产业的发展，这里成为了各种商品分销的繁华中心。分析句子可知，空后goods为名词，因此此空应填形容词，修饰goods。故填various。
【42题详解】
考查代词。句意：今天，经过翻新后，它再次向当地居民和游客开放，有更多的企业进驻，以促进城市的夜间经济。分析句子可知，此空意为“这条古街”。因此空无提示词，所以应填代词，指代“这条古街”。“古街”是物，故填it。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：今天，经过翻新后，它再次向当地居民和游客开放，有更多的企业进驻，以促进城市的夜间经济。此空位于with复合结构中，因此应用其非谓语形式。分析句子可知，更多的商业是为了促进城市经济，因此用不定式做状语表目的。故填to raise。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：该地区定期组织文化和音乐活动。分析句子可知，本句句子成分完整，因此此空应填副词，修饰动词organize，表示“经常组织”。故填regularly。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在市中心的广场上，年轻的乐队会在草地上为观众演唱，观众们可以在自己的帐篷里休息。分析句子可知，此句是定语从句，修饰先行词audience，指人且从句中缺少主语。故填who。

Félix “Andarin”Carvajal was a born runner. As a boy, he spent his childhood running up and down nearby hills. Years later, as a postman, Carvajal became well-known in the city of Havana, and eventually, he began to put his fame to use,seeking out donations so he might represent Cuba as a marathon runner at the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis, Missouri. At the time, there was no state support for Olympic athletes in Cuba.
But even with the money, Carvajal nearly didn’t make it there. His journey to the Games took him first to New Orleans，where he lost all the money he had saved up for the trip. In a foreign city, Carvajal began to walk north up along the Mississippi River to St. Louis. It was hundreds of miles, but between walking and hitching(搭便车) rides, he was able to reach St. Louis in time for his event.
It was August in St. Louis and Carvajal stood in the staging area，hungry and out of shape and tired. Carvajal took off to a commanding early lead despite the fact that he had not eaten for two days. Carvajal had never particularly believed in pacing himself. Carvajal was mostly self-trained and his ideas about running had always been straightforward: to run far and run fast and run until you can’t go anymore. But 26.2 miles is a long distance. Carvajal was reported to have picked and eaten five green apples while running and became badly ill with a stomachache. Miraculously Carvajal managed to return to the race and finish in fourth place.
The 1904 Olympics was the peak of Carvajal’s international career. But he remained a runner for the rest of his life. At 55 years old, Carvajal ran the entire length of Cuba along the country’s main highway, a distance of nearly 700 miles. Toward the end of his life, he performed a short running demonstration.“This is to show you that I still run,” he told the crowd.
4. What did Carvajal use his fame to do?
A. Get a job as a postman.
B. Inspire more people to run.
C. Support professional athletes in Cuba.
D. Raise money for his trip to the Olympics.
5. What happened to Carvajal according to paragraph 2?
A. He lost all his money. B. He got lost in a foreign city.
C. He traveled round New Orleans. D. He walked to the Mississippi River.
6. What did Carvajal believe in?
A. Keeping pace with most runners.
B. Running fast from the beginning.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了热爱运动Carvajal，坚持跑步的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Years later, as a postman, Carvajal became well-known in the city of Havana, and eventually, he began to put his fame to use,seeking out donations so he might represent Cuba as a marathon runner at the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis, Missouri. At the time, there was no state support for Olympic athletes in Cuba.”（多年以后，作为一名邮递员，卡瓦哈尔在哈瓦那市声名鹊起，最终，他开始利用自己的名声，寻求捐款，以便在密苏里州圣路易斯的1904年夏季奥林匹克运动会上代表古巴参加马拉松比赛。当时，古巴没有国家对奥运会运动员的支持。）可知，在Carvajal出名后，Carvajal利用自己的名声为自己能代表古巴参加1904年夏季奥林匹克寻求捐款。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“But even with the money, Carvajal nearly didn’t make it there. His journey to the Games took him first to New Orleans，where he lost all the money he had saved up for the trip. ”（但即使有了钱，卡瓦哈尔也差点没能到达那里。他的奥运之旅首先把他带到了新奥尔良，在那里他失去了所有为这次旅行积攒的钱。）可知，在去参加奥运会的途中——奥尔良，他失去了所有为这次旅行积攒的钱。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Carvajal was mostly self-trained and his ideas about running had always been straightforward: to run far and run fast and run until you can’t go anymore.”（卡瓦哈尔基本上是自学成才，他对跑步的想法一直很直接: 跑得远，跑得快，跑到你再也跑不动为止。）可知，在Carvajal看来，跑步就是跑得远，跑得快，跑到你再也跑不动为止。即他认为从一开始就要跑的快。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，文章一开始提到天生爱跑步的Carvajal在自己成名后，他利用自己的名声为自己能代表古巴参加1904年夏季奥林匹克寻求捐款。随后的内容提到了他在奥运会上获得了第四名的成绩，这成为了他运动生涯的巅峰，此后在他的余生中，他一直是一名跑步者。55岁时，Carvajal跑完了整个古巴，直至他生命的最后，他依旧做了一个简短的跑步演示。告诉人们，他还在跑步，所以文章的标题可以为“一直在跑步的人”，选项C符合题意，故选C。
C
Nowadays, more stores and restaurants are not accepting cash as payment. Instead, customers must pay with a credit card, or by smartphone app.
Many business owners say that being cashless has helped them streamline the way their business runs. Staff members don't have to worry about having enough money in the cash register to make change or about taking bills and coins to the bank.
However according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, more than 8 million households in the United States don't have bank accounts. Also, many people, including kids, don't meet the requirements for a credit card.
“A cashless economy is not an inclusive economy. There are consumers who can't get a credit card, because of low income. When stores refuse to accept cash, they exclude low-income or homeless people,” says Tazra Mitchell, a policy director at the DC Fiscal Policy Institute.
Plus, people who do have credit cards might prefer to pay in cash. “Cash is used by almost eight in 10 people in the US every month. That's more than any other payment type,” says Nick Bourke, a director at the Pew Charitable Trusts' consumer finance project.
Lawmakers in several places have taken steps to ban cashless stores. A handful of major cities — including New. York City and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania — have already passed laws to address the problem. In San Francisco, California, a law banning cashless stores was passed last May. It says most stores in the city must allow customers to pay with cash. Derek Remski helped write the San Francisco law. Remski says, "It's about understanding that not everyone has equal access to things.”
8. What does the underlined word “streamline” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Record. B. Understand. C. Redevelop. D. Simplify
9. What does Tazra Mitchell think of a cashless economy?
A. It is unfair to some people. B. It is enjoyed by bank workers.
C. It is advantageous to customers. D. It is the result of the marketplace.
10. What can we learn from paragraph 5?
A. Cash payment is still very popular with consumers.
B. Cashless stores will be driven out of the market.
C. Stores should allow more than one payment type.
D. Paying with credit cards has its own disadvantages.
11. What was some cities’ attitude towards going cashless?
A. They encouraged it. B. They fought against it.
C. They cared little about it. D. They were hopeful about it.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。现在，越来越多的商店和餐馆不接受现金付款。相反，消费者必须使用信用卡或智能手机应用程序支付。文章主要说明了如今的无现金化的社会现象，指出人们对此的不同看法和态度。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Staff members don't have to worry about having enough money in the cash register to make change or about taking bills and coins to the bank.”可知，工作人员不用担心收银机里有足够的钱来找零，也不用担心把钞票和硬币拿到银行，说明无现金化帮助他们简化了经营方式。故划线词意思是“简化”。A. Record.记录；B. Understand.理解；C. Redevelop.再发展；D. Simplify简化。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段““A cashless economy is not an inclusive economy. There are consumers who can't get a credit card, because of low income. When stores refuse to accept cash, they exclude low-income or homeless people,” says Tazra Mitchell, a policy director at the DC Fiscal Policy Institute.(“无现金经济不是包容性经济。 有些消费者因为收入低而拿不到信用卡。当商店拒绝接受现金时，他们将低收入或无家可归的人排除在外，”华盛顿特区财政政策研究所的政策主任Tazra Mitchell说)”可知，Tazra Mitchell认为无现金经济对某些人是不公平的。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Cash is used by almost eight in 10 people in the US every month. That's more than any other payment type(在美国，每10个人中就有8个人每月使用现金。这比任何其他支付方式都要多)”可知，现金支付仍然很受消费者欢迎。故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Lawmakers in several places have taken steps to ban cashless stores. A handful of major cities—including New. York City and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania—have already passed laws to address the problem. In San Francisco, California, a law banning cashless stores was passed last May. (一些地方的立法者已经采取措施禁止无现金商店。包括纽约在内的几个主要城市。约克市和宾夕法尼亚州的费城已经通过了法律来解决这个问题。 在加利福尼亚州的旧金山，去年5月通过了一项禁止无现金商店的法律。该公司表示，该市大多数商店必须允许顾客用现金支付)”可知，一些城市对无现金化持反对态度。故选B。
D
400 million tons of plastic are generated annually, most of which comes from single-use plastic. While countries are making progress in reducing this waste through paper bags and straws, there are still applications where the properties of plastic are necessary.
Transparent (透明的) wood is an alternative for such applications and is highly preferred since it prevents the harm of petroleum-derived (石油衍生的) plastic products. German scientist Siegfried Fink first created transparent wood in the year 1992, and over the past three decades it has been significantly improved by other researchers as well.
In its natural form, wood is not transparent. However, researchers have found that removing lignin, a naturally occurring biopolymer that provides structural support for the plant tissue, can make it transparent. To do so, the wood is soaked in a warm solution consisting of multiple chemicals, followed by boiling it in another solution. This removes the lignin completely and turns the wood white. However, the space that was occupied by lignin needs to be filled up to maintain structural integrity. This process is done by using a resin (树脂) at a temperature of 185 Fahrenheit (85℃).
The final product can have as much as 90 transparency, and it doesn’t break easily. More importantly, it is more biodegradable than glass or plastic.
While transparent wood isn’t commercial yet, it has been employed in a wide variety of applications ranging from construction to energy storage, making flexible electronics and packaging.
The researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) conducted a life-cycle analysis (LCA) of transparent wood to determine the environmental impact of its production and end-of-life (EOL) cycle. The study found that using hydrogen peroxide for delignification, followed by using epoxy for infiltration, was the most eco-friendly. When scaled up for industrial production, the former method would lower electricity consumption by as much as 98.8 percent.
EOL analysis showed that transparent wood had a reduced ecological impact compared to polyethylene (聚乙烯), paving the way for it to be commercially adapted to replace the petroleum-based material.
12. Why is transparent wood preferred compared to plastic?
A. It is environmentally friendly. B. It can be used repeatedly.
C. It can be used longer. D. It is easier to make.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The natural form of wood. B. The importance of chemicals
C. How lignin keeps wood strong. D. How transparent wood is made.
14. What did the researchers at IIT find about transparent wood?
A. Potential damage caused by it to the environment.
B. The most eco-friendly way to produce it.
C. It will replace plastic soon.
D. It can be recycled.
15. What can be expected of transparent wood’s marketing?
A. Promising. B. Difficult. C. rewarding. D. Uncertain.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Transparent (透明的) wood is an alternative for such applications and is highly preferred since it prevents the harm of petroleum-derived (石油衍生的) plastic products.(透明木材是这种应用的替代品，由于它可以防止石油衍生塑料产品的危害，因此非常受欢迎。)”可知，透明木材比塑料更受欢迎，因为它是环保的。故选A。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段的“To do so, the wood is soaked in a warm solution consisting of multiple chemicals, followed by boiling it in another solution. This removes the lignin completely and turns the wood white. However, the space that was occupied by lignin needs to be filled up to maintain structural integrity. This process is done by using a resin (树脂) at a temperature of 185 Fahrenheit (85℃).(为此，将木材浸泡在含有多种化学物质的温溶液中，然后在另一种溶液中煮沸。这样可以完全去除木质素，使木材变成白色。然而，木质素所占据的空间需要被填满，以保持结构的完整性。这个过程是通过在185华氏度（85℃）的温度下使用树脂来完成的。)”可知，第三段主要讲的是透明木材是如何制成的。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“The study found that using hydrogen peroxide for delignification, followed by using epoxy for infiltration, was the most eco-friendly.(研究发现，使用双氧水去木质素，其次使用环氧树脂渗透，是最环保的。)”可知，IIT的研究人员发现透明木材最环保的生产方式，故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“EOL analysis showed that transparent wood had a reduced ecological impact compared to polyethylene , paving the way for it to be commercially adapted to replace the petroleum-based material.(EOL分析表明，与聚乙烯相比，透明木材对生态的影响更小，为其在商业上取代石油基材料铺平了道路。)”可知，透明木材是有前途的，故选A。

【导语】这篇短文介绍了中国江南地区的旅游胜地台州市的一个历史悠久的文化景点——嘉芝古街。该古街在经过修复和翻新后重新对游客和当地人开放，
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：春天是游览江南地区最好的时间，该地区位于长江下游附近，拥有绝美的风景、丰富的文化、美食和温暖的气候。view在句中意为“自然美景，风景”，是可数名词，空前没有冠词限定，需填名词复数形式表泛指。故填views。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在众多旅游景点中，中国东部浙江省的台州市是其中之一，这是一个偏僻的目的地，可以提供真正的江南旅游体验。分析句子可知，空后的destination是可知名词，此处表示泛指，需用冠词限定，off是元音音素开头的单词，应填不定冠词an。故填an。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：嘉芝古街位于市中心，全长1公里，街道两旁有30多座老式建筑，如当铺和酒馆，这些建筑在过去几年里按照严格的标准进行了修复，被恢复到了它们的原始状态。分析句子可知，本句的谓语动词是is lined up，因此locate是非谓语动词。固定短语be located (in/at)意为“位于”，在句中作状语，位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Located。
【39题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：嘉芝古街位于市中心，全长1公里，街道两旁有30多座老式建筑，如当铺和酒馆，这些建筑在过去几年里按照严格的标准进行了修复，被恢复到了它们的原始状态。分析句子可知，repair是定语从句中的谓语动词，且repair与其先行词30 old buildings是被动关系，且句中有时间状语over the past few years，因此此空应用现在完成时的被动语态。故填have been repaired。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：古建筑部分被编号、绘制并拆除，同时制作了三维建筑模型，以便后续指导修复。分析句子可知，此空应填介词。因at the same time是固定短语，意为“同时”。故填at。
【41题详解】
