It is a mixture of journalism and storytelling, focusing on real-life tales from citizens of all regions of the country.(对于想要深入了解美国文化的英语学习者来说，《美国生活》是一个很好的选择。它是新闻和讲故事的结合，关注的是来自全国各地公民的真实故事)”可知，《美国生活》结合了新闻和故事，反映了美国文化。故选B项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一个播客中的“The Joe Rogan Experience is a great learning device because of its interesting English conversations between Rogan and his guests.(《乔·罗根脱口秀》是一个很好的学习工具，因为罗根和他的客人之间有有趣的英语对话)”可知，《乔·罗根脱口秀》中主持人罗根和客人之间的对话非常有趣，因此是个不错的学习手段。故选D项。

My husband and I recently went on a package holiday. Eyebrows (眉毛) were raised. I am a travel writer, you see, and so people expect me to be doing things such as backpacking between hand-selected fincas (庄园) in Spain or carefully planning an independent Italian food tour.
I don’t want to check every airline for the cheapest flights or research local taxi fares to avoid being cheated at the airport. My time, like yours, is valuable. Honestly, I just want somebody else to do the boring things for me. This is where the good old package holiday comes in. Reliable and extremely easy to book, a package holiday takes care of all the details for you. My goodness, I want that — and I am not alone.
Even better, a package holiday comes with support. Sunvil, for example, has 60 enthusiastic travel experts in its London office, as well as numerous representatives around the world. All are ready to offer proper, in-the-know (消息灵通的) advice on everything from the best restaurants to the must-visit spots. There are short trips that Sunvil’s own travel experts have enjoyed, and when it comes to finding a place to stay, the majority of Sunvil accommodation is locally owned and has been checked out thoroughly.
This sort of expert knowledge is invaluable. On my package holiday earlier this year, I was determined to try the local restaurant, and my representative told me how to hire a car for a day’s exploration and which sights were worth making time for. I may have been on a package holiday, but my experience was entirely personal.
And so, when I returned from my holiday, I told my friends that I had become a fan of package holidays. I love the peace of mind that comes with knowing there is a support system in place. I love the expert knowledge that can lead me to the freshest fish and sunniest beach. And above all, I don’t have to do any of the boring things. This is truly the way to travel.
4. What can we infer about travelling from the second paragraph?
A. Most tourists choose the cheapest flights.
B. We should learn to avoid getting cheated.
C. Package holidays area brand-new concept.
D. The author prefers to have others arrange her tour.
5. What do we know about Sunvil from the third paragraph?
A. It has checked all the offered hotels.
B. Its staff give suitable suggestions.
C. It tends to recommend short trips.
D. It has 60 travel agencies in London.
6. What does the author enjoy doing?
A. Taking care of all her details. B. Hiring a bike for exploration.
C. Tasting the freshest fish. D. Leading people to the beach.
7. What is the theme of the text?
A. How to choose a travel route. B. What a package holiday lacks.
C. Why I go for a package holiday. D. When to take a package holiday.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己一次跟团度假的经历，虽然是旅行作家，但作者更愿意让别人为自己安排好旅行的一切事宜，所以她选择了跟团游，这种方式提供适当的建议，令作者充分享受了旅行。

推理判断题。根据第二段中“I don’t want to check every airline for the cheapest flights or research local taxi fares to avoid being cheated at the airport. My time, like yours, is valuable. Honestly, I just want somebody else to do the boring things for me.(我不想去查每一家航空公司最便宜的航班，也不想为了避免在机场被骗而去调查当地的出租车价格。我的时间和你的一样宝贵。老实说，我只是想让别人帮我做那些无聊的事)”可知，作者觉得安排旅行事宜非常麻烦和无聊，不喜欢亲自安排。由此推知，作者更愿意别人为她安排好旅行。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Even better, a package holiday comes with support. Sunvil, for example, has 60 enthusiastic travel experts in its London office, as well as numerous representatives around the world. All are ready to offer proper, in-the-know (消息灵通的) advice on everything from the best restaurants to the must-visit spots.(更好的是，跟团游包括信息支持。例如，Sunvil在其伦敦的办事处有60名热情的旅游专家，在世界各地也有许多代表。从最好的餐馆到必去的景点，所有人都准备好提供适当的、懂行的建议)”可知，Sunvil的员工专业而热情，会为游客提供适当的建议。故选B项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“I love the expert knowledge that can lead me to the freshest fish and sunniest beach.(我喜欢那些能让我找到最新鲜的鱼和阳光最充足的海滩的专业知识)”可知，作者喜欢享用最新鲜的鱼。故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，作者讲述了自己一次跟团度假的经历，选择这种度假方式是因为作者更愿意让别人为自己安排好旅行的一切事宜，而且实际上这种方式提供适当的建议，令作者充分享受了旅行。文章主要围绕作者选择跟团度假的原因、带来的好处展开。故选C项。
C
Nobel prize-winners, well-known authors, and famous scientists — you might think all these people were born to be creative. However, that’s not always the case.
While well-known figures like Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein did their most significant work in their youth, famous American poet Robert Frost and English-born natural scientist Charles Darwin were known as “late bloomers” — people whose talents were not noticeable until later in life.
This idea of “peaking” at different times inspired new research from the United States. “Many people believe that creativity is exclusively (独有地) associated with youth, but it really depends on what kind of creativity you’re talking about,” said Bruce Weinburg, a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and co-author of the study.
According to the study, published earlier this month in the journal De Economist, there are two types of people: conceptual (概念的) and experimental thinkers.
To reach this conclusion, researchers took the 31 previous winners of the Nobel Prize in economics and arranged them according to when they did their most significant work, to identify their creative peaks.
Some peaked from ages 25 — 29. Classified as conceptual thinkers, these people think outside of the box, coming up with new ideas before they become used to the conventional way of doing things.
The second creative peak came with economists in their 50s. These are experimental thinkers who have been in their fields for a long time. This allows them to learn from errors and experiment with different processes, before eventually finding new solutions.
“Whether you hit your creative peak early or late in your career depends on whether you have a conceptual or experimental approach,” said Weinburg. He added that their study isn’t limited to economics, saying it can apply to other creative subjects. So if you’re struggling to come up with new ideas, don’t panic. Your creative peak maybe yet to arrive.
8. What does the author indicate by mentioning Robert Frost in Paragraph 2?
A. Some people stand out in their later life.
B. Robert Frost is a famous natural scientist.
C. It’s better to be late bloomers in literature.
D. Creativity makes a difference to success.
9. How did the researchers draw the conclusion: there are two types of creative people?
A. By referring to some data.
B. By doing some experiments.
C. By interviewing some creative people.
D. By adopting the means of logic reasoning.
10. What can we learn about conceptual thinkers?
A. They owe their success to life experience.
B. They adopt common scientific approaches.
C. They follow a new pattern of thinking.
D. They learn from errors and experiments.
11. What does Weinburg probably agree with?
A. Creative peaks never come for some.
B. The older, the less likely to succeed.
C. Most people prefer conceptual thinking.
D. Great creativity can arrive at different stages.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究表明，在创造力的划分上存在两种类型的人，一类是概念思考者，他们有新的思维方式，往往在年轻的时候脱颖而出，一类是实验思考者，他们在经验中学习，往往大器晚成。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Nobel prize-winners, well-known authors, and famous scientists — you might think all these people were born to be creative. However, that’s not always the case.(诺贝尔奖得主、知名作家和著名科学家——你可能会认为所有这些人都天生具有创造力。然而，情况并非总是如此)”和第二段中“famous American poet Robert Frost and English-born natural scientist Charles Darwin were known as “late bloomers” — people whose talents were not noticeable until later in life(著名的美国诗人罗伯特·弗罗斯特和英国出生的自然科学家查尔斯·达尔文被称为“大器晚成者”——他们的才能直到晚年才被人注意到)”可知，罗伯特·弗罗斯特属于在晚年才展露才华的人，作者提到他是为了佐证第一段中的内容，这些名人并不都是天生具有创造力，有些人在晚年才脱颖而出。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“To reach this conclusion, researchers took the 31 previous winners of the Nobel Prize in economics and arranged them according to when they did their most significant work, to identify their creative peaks.(为了得出这一结论，研究人员选取了31位诺贝尔经济学奖得主，并根据他们完成最重要工作的时间对他们进行了排序，以确定他们的创造力高峰)”可知，研究者们参考了31位诺贝尔经济学奖得主最重要工作完成的时间的数据，进行分析后得出了结论。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中“Classified as conceptual thinkers, these people think outside of the box, coming up with new ideas before they become used to the conventional way of doing things.(这些人被归类为概念思考者，他们跳出固有的思维模式，在习惯传统的做事方式之前提出新的想法)”可知，概念思考者并不遵循传统的方式，而是拥有新的思维方式。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“So if you’re struggling to come up with new ideas, don’t panic. Your creative peak maybe yet to arrive.(所以，如果你正在努力想出新的想法，不要惊慌。你的创造力高峰可能还没有到来)”可知，Weinburg鼓励尚未展露创造力高峰的人不必惊慌，因为高峰的到来或早或晚，因人而异。由此推知，他会同意“伟大的创造力可以出现在不同的阶段”的观点。故选D项。
D
The beautiful city of Montreal, Canada, is these days receiving negotiators, scientists, environmentalists and political leaders from all corners of the world to agree on a framework to halt and reverse nature loss by the end of this decade. One of the heated discussions in Montreal is about conserving 30 percent of the world’s land, freshwater and oceans by 2030.
The history of mankind as of the end of the 20th century has been a story of development at the expense of nature. Now, in order to restore nature, we need to mobilize the citizens of the world for win-win solutions to the crisis.
First suggestion, if we want to create harmony between man and nature, we need to win the hearts and minds of the local people. One of the shining examples is Rwanda, which, though a small, landlocked (内陆的) country in Africa, has one of the most immensely beautiful landscapes I have seen anywhere in the world. It has been incredibly successful in increasing the number of previously threatened gorillas. If you’re a tourist, you pay a significant amount of money to see Rwanda’s gorillas. And that creates a fantastic economy for the taxi drivers, the hotel staff, the teachers and the tourist guides in the neighborhood of Volcanoes National Park. That means that no one in the neighborhood will kill a gorilla for bush meat (野味). The local residents there are the first line of defense for the gorillas, because it is a crucial source of income and a big job creator in the region. It’s a win-win solution.
Second suggestion, we need to ask businesses to participate. In the past, business was a force of destruction for nature. Jobs came from destroying the beautiful landscapes on Earth. In other words, we created economic development by destroying nature. Now, in the 21st century, we can create economic growth and restore nature at the same time. Indonesia stopped deforestation last year, thanks to a combination of good government policy and good business practice. RGE, a paper, pulp (纸浆) and palm oil company, develops huge harvests.
Third suggestion, we need to work with citizens at large. In India, the chief minister of conservation a reason the island of Sumatra and protects as much of the green trees as it the big state of Madhya Pradesh is planting one tree every day to inspire 80 million people in his state to do likewise.
12. How do local residents in Rwanda try to earn their income?
A. By attracting tourists there.
B. By treating tourists with bushmeat.
C. By raising and selling wild animals.
D. By replacing forests with a lot of farmland.
13. What does the underlined word “reverse” in paragraph 1mean?
A. Stop believing in something.
B. Change something to the opposite trend.
C. Consider something in order to make a judgment.
D. Describe something so that it can be understood.
14. What does the second suggestion in paragraph 4 imply?
A. Business has a negative effect on economy.
B. Business suffers from nature conservation.
C. Business can contribute to the protection of nature.
D. Business has the potential to improve people’s health.
15. Which can serve as the best title for the news report?
A. Every Effort Counts to Preserve Nature
B. How to Conserve 30 Percent of the World’s Land
C. Ways to Create Harmony between Man and Animals
D. Man’s Story of Development at the Expense of Nature
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人类发展过程中对自然造成的伤害，现在努力恢复自然。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。文章第三段中的“If you’re a tourist, you pay a significant amount of money to see Rwanda’s gorillas. And that creates a fantastic economy for the taxi drivers, the hotel staff, the teachers and the tourist guides in the neighborhood of Volcanoes National Park. (如果你是一名游客，你会花大量的钱去看卢旺达的大猩猩。这为火山国家公园附近的出租车司机、酒店员工、老师和导游创造了一个梦幻般的经济环境)”可知，卢旺达当地居民试图通过吸引游客来赚取收入。故选A。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。划线单词上文“The beautiful city of Montreal, Canada, is these days receiving negotiators, scientists, environmentalists and political leaders from all corners of the world to agree on a framework to halt and(这些天，美丽的加拿大蒙特利尔市正在接待来自世界各地的谈判代表、科学家、环保主义者和政治领导人，就一个停止和)”可知，划线词与halt是并列关系，此处都是保护大自然的方法，意为“停止和扭转自然损失”。由此可知，划线词是“把某事改变成相反的趋势”的意思。故选B。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第四段中的“Now, in the 21st century, we can create economic growth and restore nature at the same time. (现在，在21世纪，我们可以在创造经济增长的同时恢复自然)”可知，本段主要介绍了商业可以为保护自然做出贡献。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章讲述了人类发展过程中对自然造成的伤害，现在努力恢复自然。第二段讲到“Now, in order to restore nature, we need to mobilize the citizens of the world for win-win solutions to the crisis.( 现在，为了恢复自然，我们需要动员世界公民寻求双赢的危机解决方案)”可知，文章主要介绍了为保护自然做出的一系列努力。由此可知，A项Every Effort Counts to Preserve Nature(保护自然的一切努力都很重要)合适作本文最佳标题。故选A。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Unforgettable Book Throws Light on Racism (种族歧视)
Today, I would like to recommend a book to you, which taught me an important lesson about prejudice and racism. ____16____ The story is set in Alabama in the southern US, where the author grew up.
The main character in this novel is a lawyer named Atticus Finch from the American South. The American South in the 1960s was known to be a place where many white people looked down upon black people, except for Finch. When the local judge asked him to defend a black man named Tom Robinson, who was wrongly accused of raping a white woman, Finch agreed. ____17____ Still, Finch fought to discover the truth, even though he was under threat. He proved that Robinson is innocent (清白的). As Finch’s son Jem and daughter Scout grew up, they started to see more racial prejudice around them. ____18____
The author Lee was born in Monroeville, Alabama in 1926. In her childhood, she, like Scout and Jem, learned about racial prejudice and the damage it could do. To Kill a Mockingbird was her first and only novel published. ____19____
For me, the most memorable quotes in the book are “Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but… sing their hearts out for us. ____20____” The description of childhood innocence in the story through Scout and Jem is connected with the dark evils of prejudice in the town, which provides a dramatic contrast and enables you to understand how dangerous racism and prejudice are. I want to recommend this book because it contains slightly complex and interesting sentence structures. It is a book that you will never forget.
A. It took her seven years to complete.
B. Racism exists at all levels of society.
C. People worked for the rights of black people.
D. But many people tried to stop Finch from doing his job.
E. That’s why it is morally and totally wrong to kill a mockingbird.
F. To Kill a Mockingbird is a novel published in1960 by American author Harper Lee.
G. And they finally understood the importance of looking at the world with an unprejudiced mind.
【答案】16. F 17. D 18. G 19. A 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者推荐了一本关于反抗种族歧视的小说《杀死一只知更鸟》，介绍了小说的情节和作者，并分享了自己的阅读感受。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Today, I would like to recommend a book to you, which taught me an important lesson about prejudice and racism.(今天，我想向你推荐一本书，它给我上了关于偏见和种族主义的重要一课)”可推知，空处会说明这是哪本书。F项“《杀死一只知更鸟》是美国作家哈珀·李于1960年出版的一部小说。”符合语境，承接前文，和后文呼应。故选F。

19题详解】
根据前文“To Kill a Mockingbird was her first and only novel published.(《杀死一只知更鸟》是她出版的第一部也是唯一一部小说)”可知，本段介绍小说的作者，空处位于段末，应继续围绕作者展开。A项“她花了七年时间才完成”符合语境。故选A。
【20题详解】
根据前文“For me, the most memorable quotes in the book are “Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but… sing their hearts out for us.(对我来说，书中最难忘的一句话是“知更鸟没有做任何事，只不过……为我们唱出他们的心声)”可知，此处表现了知更鸟的无辜，空处可能会承接前文讨论杀死知更鸟的不道德。E项“这就是为什么杀死一只知更鸟在道德上是完全错误的。”符合语境，其中的“mockingbird”和前文呼应。故选E。

“Hey!” she shouted. “I’m driving around to give free haircuts. Do you want one right now?” The man, missing a few teeth, paused and laughed. “Actually,” he said, “at this time tomorrow, I ___37___(attend) a funeral(葬礼) of my friend. I was really hoping to get my hair cut.”
The man, named Edward, took a seat.

He said his family consisted ___39___four people and that he had been living in Minnesota for about ten years. The ___40___(interact) between them was very relaxing and constructive.
“It’s more ___41___a haircut,” she says. “I want it to be a way to show value and respect, but also to get to know people.”
Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. One changed hers: A sateen, she suffered from ulcerative colitis (溃疡性结肠炎) that was so serious and her hair thinned severely. Seeing this, her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut. “To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a healthy person helped me feel cared about and less alone,” she says.
After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own hair salon so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology school(美容学校) in 2016, she realized her dream. Two years later, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project,___42___(reach) out to people on the streets.
Steller said, “As you know, I can’t have their problems ___43___(fix), but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment.”

【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：你知道，我不能解决他们的问题，但也许我可以让他们暂时不那么孤独。分析句子可知，此处充当补足语，宾语problems和动词fix为被动关系，应使用过去分词形式。故填fixed。

47. 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。
Ariana Porter was very excited. The next day would be a new day and a new beginning, well, kind of. The next day Ariana would go to a boarding school! There would be no little sister to share a room with, with peace and quiet. She ate her favourite homemade curry(咖喱粉) for the last time that year. Then, she curled up(蜷缩) in her clean bed and shut her eyes.
The next day, Ariana woke up, jumped into her best clothes and flew downstairs. After a quick breakfast, the whole family lined up and said goodbye to her. Ariana’s little sister tried to hug her, but she shrugged off(不予理睬) Liliana. And off she went to boarding school happily.
However, when Ariana got there, everyone looked unwelcoming. A teacher showed her to her dorm(宿舍). It was cold and dark! A few days later, Ariana got several letters. The rainbow one was from her little sister and another from her parents. Ariana couldn’t even be bothered to open them. She just threw them into the main hall’s fireplace when nobody was around.
Every day, Ariana tried to make friends. It was an all-girls school. Unfortunately, she had no luck. She tried to give girls gifts, she tried to be friendly, but they shrugged her off just like she did to her sister. Two months had passed since she began trying to find new friends, but without success. Ariana felt more and more lonely. Something was missing in her life. Something indescribable. Something, or maybe someone.
Week after week went by and then, one day, holding yet another batch of mail, Ariana’s heart trembled. She realized what she was painfully missing, her FAMILY. Whenever she was down, whenever she needed help or comfort, they were there for her. Always. This time she opened the little rainbow envelope and smiled. Reading it filled her heart with joy. Ariana couldn’t reply, for the school didn’t allow that, so she decided to hide the letters under her pillow. The pile grew larger and they were so important to her, for the letters gave her the greatest comfort when she was away from home.
Months passed and then she was eagerly waiting for the day when the school year ended. No more dorm life and unfriendly girls. Ariana skipped to math class excitedly, but couldn’t concentrate. She dreamed about going home.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The term came to an end eventually and Ariana began to pack things up.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Just when Ariana was out of her dorm, she realized she had left something important to her in it.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version：
The term came to an end eventually and Ariana began to pack things up. She was so excited at the thought of seeing her family, whom she had not seen for a long time, especially her cute little sister, that she could not stop packing. At this moment, a feeling of happiness arose. She couldn’t wait to get out of the dorm, the unfriendly classroom and the girls, and she was so excited to go back home.
Just when Ariana was out of her dorm, she realized she had left something important to her in it. The piles of letters under her pillow were of great importance to her. Because these letters gave her the confidence and courage to carry on when she was having the toughest time. Every word in the letter was the best encouragement which inspired her not to give up. She picked up the thick stack(摞) of letters carefully and packed them up, while thinking of the warm scenes at home with her family. At that moment, she realized that it was the warmth and company of her family that enabled her to go through this difficult time. She wanted to sincerely say: I love you, my family.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ariana马上要去寄宿学校，她非常兴奋，但她在新学校遇到许多不愉快的事情：交不到新朋友以及不愉快的同学关系。但就在这艰难的时光中，是家人们一封封的信件让她感受到了家庭的温暖，给了她鼓励和信心。假期来临，她迫不及待想回到家中与家人们团聚。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“这个学期终于结束了，Ariana开始收拾东西。”可知，第一段可描写Ariana迫不及待的收拾行李的兴奋和激动，想到和家人的团聚。
②由第二段首句内容“就在Ariana走出宿舍的时候，她意识到自己在宿舍里留下了一些重要的东西。”可知，第二段可描写Ariana想起了枕头下面的那一封封来自于家人们的信件，给予她莫大的关心和鼓励，让她意识到家人们的重要性。
2.续写线索：
兴奋——迫不及待想离开宿舍——意识到忘记东西——拿起信件——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①继续：carry on/go on
②鼓励：inspire/encourage
③想要做某事：want to do sth/feel like doing sth
情绪类
①激动：excited/thrilled
②高兴：happiness/delight
【点睛】[高分句型1]. She was so excited at the thought of seeing her family, whom she had not seen for a long time, especially her cute little sister, that she could not stop packing. （由关系代词whom引导的非限制性定语从句和so…that引导的结果状语句）
[高分句型2]. At that moment, she realized that it was the warmth and company of her family that enabled her to go through this difficult time.（由连接词that引导的宾语从和强调句）

It is a mixture of journalism and storytelling, focusing on real-life tales from citizens of all regions of the country.(对于想要深入了解美国文化的英语学习者来说，《美国生活》是一个很好的选择。它是新闻和讲故事的结合，关注的是来自全国各地公民的真实故事)”可知，《美国生活》结合了新闻和故事，反映了美国文化。故选B项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一个播客中的“The Joe Rogan Experience is a great learning device because of its interesting English conversations between Rogan and his guests.(《乔·罗根脱口秀》是一个很好的学习工具，因为罗根和他的客人之间有有趣的英语对话)”可知，《乔·罗根脱口秀》中主持人罗根和客人之间的对话非常有趣，因此是个不错的学习手段。故选D项。

B
My husband and I recently went on a package holiday. Eyebrows (眉毛) were raised. I am a travel writer, you see, and so people expect me to be doing things such as backpacking between hand-selected fincas (庄园) in Spain or carefully planning an independent Italian food tour.
I don’t want to check every airline for the cheapest flights or research local taxi fares to avoid being cheated at the airport. My time, like yours, is valuable. Honestly, I just want somebody else to do the boring things for me. This is where the good old package holiday comes in. Reliable and extremely easy to book, a package holiday takes care of all the details for you. My goodness, I want that — and I am not alone.
Even better, a package holiday comes with support. Sunvil, for example, has 60 enthusiastic travel experts in its London office, as well as numerous representatives around the world. All are ready to offer proper, in-the-know (消息灵通的) advice on everything from the best restaurants to the must-visit spots. There are short trips that Sunvil’s own travel experts have enjoyed, and when it comes to finding a place to stay, the majority of Sunvil accommodation is locally owned and has been checked out thoroughly.
This sort of expert knowledge is invaluable. On my package holiday earlier this year, I was determined to try the local restaurant, and my representative told me how to hire a car for a day’s exploration and which sights were worth making time for. I may have been on a package holiday, but my experience was entirely personal.
And so, when I returned from my holiday, I told my friends that I had become a fan of package holidays. I love the peace of mind that comes with knowing there is a support system in place.

Nobel prize-winners, well-known authors, and famous scientists — you might think all these people were born to be creative. However, that’s not always the case.
While well-known figures like Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein did their most significant work in their youth, famous American poet Robert Frost and English-born natural scientist Charles Darwin were known as “late bloomers” — people whose talents were not noticeable until later in life.
This idea of “peaking” at different times inspired new research from the United States. “Many people believe that creativity is exclusively (独有地) associated with youth, but it really depends on what kind of creativity you’re talking about,” said Bruce Weinburg, a professor of economics at the University of Chicago and co-author of the study.
According to the study, published earlier this month in the journal De Economist, there are two types of people: conceptual (概念的) and experimental thinkers.
To reach this conclusion, researchers took the 31 previous winners of the Nobel Prize in economics and arranged them according to when they did their most significant work, to identify their creative peaks.
Some peaked from ages 25 — 29. Classified as conceptual thinkers, these people think outside of the box, coming up with new ideas before they become used to the conventional way of doing things.
The second creative peak came with economists in their 50s. These are experimental thinkers who have been in their fields for a long time. This allows them to learn from errors and experiment with different processes, before eventually finding new solutions.
“Whether you hit your creative peak early or late in your career depends on whether you have a conceptual or experimental approach,” said Weinburg. He added that their study isn’t limited to economics, saying it can apply to other creative subjects. So if you’re struggling to come up with new ideas, don’t panic. Your creative peak maybe yet to arrive.
8. What does the author indicate by mentioning Robert Frost in Paragraph 2?
A. Some people stand out in their later life.
B. Robert Frost is a famous natural scientist.
C. It’s better to be late bloomers in literature.
D. Creativity makes a difference to success.
9. How did the researchers draw the conclusion: there are two types of creative people?
A. By referring to some data.
B. By doing some experiments.
C. By interviewing some creative people.
D. By adopting the means of logic reasoning.
10. What can we learn about conceptual thinkers?
A. They owe their success to life experience.
B. They adopt common scientific approaches.
C. They follow a new pattern of thinking.
D. They learn from errors and experiments.
11. What does Weinburg probably agree with?
A. Creative peaks never come for some.
B. The older, the less likely to succeed.
C. Most people prefer conceptual thinking.
D. Great creativity can arrive at different stages.
【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究表明，在创造力的划分上存在两种类型的人，一类是概念思考者，他们有新的思维方式，往往在年轻的时候脱颖而出，一类是实验思考者，他们在经验中学习，往往大器晚成。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Nobel prize-winners, well-known authors, and famous scientists — you might think all these people were born to be creative. However, that’s not always the case.(诺贝尔奖得主、知名作家和著名科学家——你可能会认为所有这些人都天生具有创造力。然而，情况并非总是如此)”和第二段中“famous American poet Robert Frost and English-born natural scientist Charles Darwin were known as “late bloomers” — people whose talents were not noticeable until later in life(著名的美国诗人罗伯特·弗罗斯特和英国出生的自然科学家查尔斯·达尔文被称为“大器晚成者”——他们的才能直到晚年才被人注意到)”可知，罗伯特·弗罗斯特属于在晚年才展露才华的人，作者提到他是为了佐证第一段中的内容，这些名人并不都是天生具有创造力，有些人在晚年才脱颖而出。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“To reach this conclusion, researchers took the 31 previous winners of the Nobel Prize in economics and arranged them according to when they did their most significant work, to identify their creative peaks.(为了得出这一结论，研究人员选取了31位诺贝尔经济学奖得主，并根据他们完成最重要工作的时间对他们进行了排序，以确定他们的创造力高峰)”可知，研究者们参考了31位诺贝尔经济学奖得主最重要工作完成的时间的数据，进行分析后得出了结论。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中“Classified as conceptual thinkers, these people think outside of the box, coming up with new ideas before they become used to the conventional way of doing things.(这些人被归类为概念思考者，他们跳出固有的思维模式，在习惯传统的做事方式之前提出新的想法)”可知，概念思考者并不遵循传统的方式，而是拥有新的思维方式。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“So if you’re struggling to come up with new ideas, don’t panic. Your creative peak maybe yet to arrive.(所以，如果你正在努力想出新的想法，不要惊慌。你的创造力高峰可能还没有到来)”可知，Weinburg鼓励尚未展露创造力高峰的人不必惊慌，因为高峰的到来或早或晚，因人而异。由此推知，他会同意“伟大的创造力可以出现在不同的阶段”的观点。故选D项。
D
The beautiful city of Montreal, Canada, is these days receiving negotiators, scientists, environmentalists and political leaders from all corners of the world to agree on a framework to halt and reverse nature loss by the end of this decade. One of the heated discussions in Montreal is about conserving 30 percent of the world’s land, freshwater and oceans by 2030.
The history of mankind as of the end of the 20th century has been a story of development at the expense of nature. Now, in order to restore nature, we need to mobilize the citizens of the world for win-win solutions to the crisis.
First suggestion, if we want to create harmony between man and nature, we need to win the hearts and minds of the local people. One of the shining examples is Rwanda, which, though a small, landlocked (内陆的) country in Africa, has one of the most immensely beautiful landscapes I have seen anywhere in the world. It has been incredibly successful in increasing the number of previously threatened gorillas. If you’re a tourist, you pay a significant amount of money to see Rwanda’s gorillas. And that creates a fantastic economy for the taxi drivers, the hotel staff, the teachers and the tourist guides in the neighborhood of Volcanoes National Park. That means that no one in the neighborhood will kill a gorilla for bush meat (野味). The local residents there are the first line of defense for the gorillas, because it is a crucial source of income and a big job creator in the region. It’s a win-win solution.
Second suggestion, we need to ask businesses to participate. In the past, business was a force of destruction for nature. Jobs came from destroying the beautiful landscapes on Earth. In other words, we created economic development by destroying nature. Now, in the 21st century, we can create economic growth and restore nature at the same time. Indonesia stopped deforestation last year, thanks to a combination of good government policy and good business practice. RGE, a paper, pulp (纸浆) and palm oil company, develops huge harvests.
Third suggestion, we need to work with citizens at large. In India, the chief minister of conservation a reason the island of Sumatra and protects as much of the green trees as it the big state of Madhya Pradesh is planting one tree every day to inspire 80 million people in his state to do likewise.
12. How do local residents in Rwanda try to earn their income?
A. By attracting tourists there.
B. By treating tourists with bushmeat.
C. By raising and selling wild animals.
D. By replacing forests with a lot of farmland.
13. What does the underlined word “reverse” in paragraph 1mean?
A. Stop believing in something.
B. Change something to the opposite trend.
C. Consider something in order to make a judgment.
D. Describe something so that it can be understood.
14. What does the second suggestion in paragraph 4 imply?
A. Business has a negative effect on economy.
B. Business suffers from nature conservation.
C. Business can contribute to the protection of nature.
D. Business has the potential to improve people’s health.
15. Which can serve as the best title for the news report?
A. Every Effort Counts to Preserve Nature
B. How to Conserve 30 Percent of the World’s Land
C. Ways to Create Harmony between Man and Animals
D. Man’s Story of Development at the Expense of Nature
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人类发展过程中对自然造成的伤害，现在努力恢复自然。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。文章第三段中的“If you’re a tourist, you pay a significant amount of money to see Rwanda’s gorillas. And that creates a fantastic economy for the taxi drivers, the hotel staff, the teachers and the tourist guides in the neighborhood of Volcanoes National Park. (如果你是一名游客，你会花大量的钱去看卢旺达的大猩猩。这为火山国家公园附近的出租车司机、酒店员工、老师和导游创造了一个梦幻般的经济环境)”可知，卢旺达当地居民试图通过吸引游客来赚取收入。故选A。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。划线单词上文“The beautiful city of Montreal, Canada, is these days receiving negotiators, scientists, environmentalists and political leaders from all corners of the world to agree on a framework to halt and(这些天，美丽的加拿大蒙特利尔市正在接待来自世界各地的谈判代表、科学家、环保主义者和政治领导人，就一个停止和)”可知，划线词与halt是并列关系，此处都是保护大自然的方法，意为“停止和扭转自然损失”。由此可知，划线词是“把某事改变成相反的趋势”的意思。故选B。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第四段中的“Now, in the 21st century, we can create economic growth and restore nature at the same time. (现在，在21世纪，我们可以在创造经济增长的同时恢复自然)”可知，本段主要介绍了商业可以为保护自然做出贡献。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章讲述了人类发展过程中对自然造成的伤害，现在努力恢复自然。第二段讲到“Now, in order to restore nature, we need to mobilize the citizens of the world for win-win solutions to the crisis.( 现在，为了恢复自然，我们需要动员世界公民寻求双赢的危机解决方案)”可知，文章主要介绍了为保护自然做出的一系列努力。由此可知，A项Every Effort Counts to Preserve Nature(保护自然的一切努力都很重要)合适作本文最佳标题。故选A。

Unforgettable Book Throws Light on Racism (种族歧视)
Today, I would like to recommend a book to you, which taught me an important lesson about prejudice and racism. ____16____ The story is set in Alabama in the southern US, where the author grew up.
The main character in this novel is a lawyer named Atticus Finch from the American South. The American South in the 1960s was known to be a place where many white people looked down upon black people, except for Finch. When the local judge asked him to defend a black man named Tom Robinson, who was wrongly accused of raping a white woman, Finch agreed. ____17____ Still, Finch fought to discover the truth, even though he was under threat. He proved that Robinson is innocent (清白的). As Finch’s son Jem and daughter Scout grew up, they started to see more racial prejudice around them. ____18____
The author Lee was born in Monroeville, Alabama in 1926. In her childhood, she, like Scout and Jem, learned about racial prejudice and the damage it could do. To Kill a Mockingbird was her first and only novel published. ____19____
For me, the most memorable quotes in the book are “Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but… sing their hearts out for us. ____20____” The description of childhood innocence in the story through Scout and Jem is connected with the dark evils of prejudice in the town, which provides a dramatic contrast and enables you to understand how dangerous racism and prejudice are. I want to recommend this book because it contains slightly complex and interesting sentence structures. It is a book that you will never forget.
A. It took her seven years to complete.
B. Racism exists at all levels of society.
C. People worked for the rights of black people.
D. But many people tried to stop Finch from doing his job.
E. That’s why it is morally and totally wrong to kill a mockingbird.
F. To Kill a Mockingbird is a novel published in1960 by American author Harper Lee.

Steller knows that a haircut can change a life. One changed hers: A sateen, she suffered from ulcerative colitis (溃疡性结肠炎) that was so serious and her hair thinned severely. Seeing this, her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut. “To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a healthy person helped me feel cared about and less alone,” she says.
After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own hair salon so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology school(美容学校) in 2016, she realized her dream. Two years later, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project,___42___(reach) out to people on the streets.

考查动词时态。句意：明天这个时候，我将参加一个朋友的葬礼。根据该句中的at this time tomorrow时间状语可知，此处动词应为将来进行时，表示将来某个时间点正在发生的动作。故填will be attending。
【38题详解】
考查让步状语从句。句意：不管他有多忙，他仍然每天都和妈妈通电话。由空前no matter以及空后busy形容词可知，此处为no matter how“不管……”引导的让步状语从句。故填how。
【39题详解】
考查介词以及动词短语。句意：他说他的家庭由四口人组成，他已经在明尼苏达州生活了大约十年。分析句子可知，此处构成动词短语consist of“由……组成”，故填of。
【40题详解】
考查可数名词单数形式。句意：他们之间的互动非常轻松和有建设性。此处缺少名词interaction充当主语，the interaction of表示“……的互动”。故填interaction。
【41题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：她说：“这不仅仅是理发。”分析句子可知，空格处构成固定短语more than“不仅仅”，故填than。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：两年后，她开始了她现在称之为“红椅子计划”的活动，向街上的人们伸出援手。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，因动词reach和逻辑主语she为主动关系，所以为现在分词形式。故填reaching。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：你知道，我不能解决他们的问题，但也许我可以让他们暂时不那么孤独。分析句子可知，此处充当补足语，宾语problems和动词fix为被动关系，应使用过去分词形式。故填fixed。
【44题详解】
考查it特殊用法以及固定句型。句意：很明显，它一直运作良好。分析句子可知，该句为固定句型It is evident that…“很明显……”，it充当形式主语，真正的主语是that从句，位于句首首字母大写，故填It。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：善良和慷慨有助于构建和谐社会。此处需要形容词充当定语修饰名词society。故填harmonious。

47. 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。
Ariana Porter was very excited. The next day would be a new day and a new beginning, well, kind of. The next day Ariana would go to a boarding school! There would be no little sister to share a room with, with peace and quiet. She ate her favourite homemade curry(咖喱粉) for the last time that year. Then, she curled up(蜷缩) in her clean bed and shut her eyes.
The next day, Ariana woke up, jumped into her best clothes and flew downstairs. After a quick breakfast, the whole family lined up and said goodbye to her. Ariana’s little sister tried to hug her, but she shrugged off(不予理睬) Liliana. And off she went to boarding school happily.
However, when Ariana got there, everyone looked unwelcoming. A teacher showed her to her dorm(宿舍). It was cold and dark! A few days later, Ariana got several letters. The rainbow one was from her little sister and another from her parents. Ariana couldn’t even be bothered to open them. She just threw them into the main hall’s fireplace when nobody was around.
Every day, Ariana tried to make friends. It was an all-girls school. Unfortunately, she had no luck. She tried to give girls gifts, she tried to be friendly, but they shrugged her off just like she did to her sister. Two months had passed since she began trying to find new friends, but without success. Ariana felt more and more lonely. Something was missing in her life. Something indescribable. Something, or maybe someone.
Week after week went by and then, one day, holding yet another batch of mail, Ariana’s heart trembled. She realized what she was painfully missing, her FAMILY. Whenever she was down, whenever she needed help or comfort, they were there for her. Always. This time she opened the little rainbow envelope and smiled. Reading it filled her heart with joy. Ariana couldn’t reply, for the school didn’t allow that, so she decided to hide the letters under her pillow. The pile grew larger and they were so important to her, for the letters gave her the greatest comfort when she was away from home.
Months passed and then she was eagerly waiting for the day when the school year ended. No more dorm life and unfriendly girls. Ariana skipped to math class excitedly, but couldn’t concentrate. She dreamed about going home.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Just when Ariana was out of her dorm, she realized she had left something important to her in it.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version：
The term came to an end eventually and Ariana began to pack things up. She was so excited at the thought of seeing her family, whom she had not seen for a long time, especially her cute little sister, that she could not stop packing. At this moment, a feeling of happiness arose. She couldn’t wait to get out of the dorm, the unfriendly classroom and the girls, and she was so excited to go back home.
Just when Ariana was out of her dorm, she realized she had left something important to her in it. The piles of letters under her pillow were of great importance to her. Because these letters gave her the confidence and courage to carry on when she was having the toughest time. Every word in the letter was the best encouragement which inspired her not to give up. She picked up the thick stack(摞) of letters carefully and packed them up, while thinking of the warm scenes at home with her family. At that moment, she realized that it was the warmth and company of her family that enabled her to go through this difficult time. She wanted to sincerely say: I love you, my family.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ariana马上要去寄宿学校，她非常兴奋，但她在新学校遇到许多不愉快的事情：交不到新朋友以及不愉快的同学关系。但就在这艰难的时光中，是家人们一封封的信件让她感受到了家庭的温暖，给了她鼓励和信心。假期来临，她迫不及待想回到家中与家人们团聚。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“这个学期终于结束了，Ariana开始收拾东西。”可知，第一段可描写Ariana迫不及待的收拾行李的兴奋和激动，想到和家人的团聚。
②由第二段首句内容“就在Ariana走出宿舍的时候，她意识到自己在宿舍里留下了一些重要的东西。”可知，第二段可描写Ariana想起了枕头下面的那一封封来自于家人们的信件，给予她莫大的关心和鼓励，让她意识到家人们的重要性。
2.续写线索：
兴奋——迫不及待想离开宿舍——意识到忘记东西——拿起信件——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①继续：carry on/go on
②鼓励：inspire/encourage
③想要做某事：want to do sth/feel like doing sth

【点睛】[高分句型1]. She was so excited at the thought of seeing her family, whom she had not seen for a long time, especially her cute little sister, that she could not stop packing. （由关系代词whom引导的非限制性定语从句和so…that引导的结果状语句）
[高分句型2]. At that moment, she realized that it was the warmth and company of her family that enabled her to go through this difficult time.（由连接词that引导的宾语从和强调句）
