A
South Africa is the water-lovers' paradise. Whether you want to be by the sea, on the sea or even under it, there are countless ways to get your ocean experience. Almost all of them are located on South Africa's east coast, where the Indian Ocean keeps water warm.
Thompson's Bay, Ballito
Drive 40 minutes north of Durban to reach the unique coastal town of Ballito. Popular with holidaymakers, Ballito has a choice of pretty beaches—and the best for swimming is Thompson's Bay. This scenic cove （小海湾）is sheltered from the wind and characterized by its calm waters, interesting rocky outcrops and a fascinating geological hole-in-the-wall. There's a walled tidal pool for those who are nervous to swim in the open ocean, making this spot a particularly good choice for families.
Umhlanga Rocks, Durban
Located a 20-minute drive from central Durban, the resort town of Umhlanga is a proper getaway for people
with good incomes and visitors in the know(知内情的). The main Umhlanga Rocks beach boasts safe swimming waters and endless golden sands, again protected by lifeguards and shark nets. A paved walkway provides direct access to the town's beachfront shops, restaurants and bars.
Gonubie Beach, East London
The coastal town of Gonubie is seen by many as a suburb of East London, one of the largest cities of the Eastern Cape. Its picture-perfect beach offers great swimming areas in the open sea. The Gonubie River reaches the sea at this point, too, and offers another bathing spot on days when the surf in the sea is bigger than usual. All along the river's green banks, you'll find a series of shaded spots perfect for summer picnics and barbecues.
Kelly’s Beach, Port Alfred
Further south on the Sunshine Coast, the laid-back town of Port Alfred is home to Kelly’s Beach, which was awarded Blue Flag status for 2017-2018. A 400-meter stretch of pale brown sand, the beach and its waters are exceptionally clean. Two viewing decks come in handy during whale-watching season, or for admiring spectacular sunrises and sunsets.
1. If you are planning a family trip to South Africa, which beach suits you best?
A. Thompson's Bay, Ballito. B. Umhlanga Rocks, Durban.

“Anyone knows single parents who can’t afford to get their child’s hair done for school? I will braid (编辫子) it for free!”Brittany Starks wrote on a Facebook post.
She decided to offer her hair braiding services after a family friend delivered backpacks full of school supplies, clothing and shoes for Cayden and Ceniyah in early August. “At the time, I didn’t have anything for my kids to start school,” said Starks, who is in between homes and staying with her mother. “It meant so much to me.”
The unexpected gift made a big difference to Starks and her children, and it motivated her to pay it forward. Starks, who works two receptionist jobs, also braids hair part-time. “The hair-braiding process involves washing, blow-drying, and finally dividing the hair into small sections and braiding it. It also requires multiple supplies — including combs, brushes, hair jam and additional pieces of hair to weave in. It costs anywhere from $150 to $400 at a salon (美发厅), depending on the style,” Stacks explained. “But it can last for months and is a huge timesaver in the mornings.”
When she wrote the Facebook post, she assumed only a handful of people would reach out,but before she knew it, she had 35 appointments booked. Her Facebook inbox was suddenly full of messages from single parents, whose stories of hardship and financial challenges mirrored her own.
“There’s a huge need for this. I could really relate to a lot of the women who reached out, and it made me realize that what I was doing was really important,” said Stacks. “What got me the most was seeing the kids smile.” Given that there was less than two weeks before the start of school, Starks knew she needed to enlist help.
4. What got Brittany Starks to offer her hair braiding service?
A. A post on Facebook. B. Her friend’s timely help.
C. Her mother’s advice. D. A trip to her kids’ school.
5. What does Starks say about hair braiding?
A. It’s a bit dear. B. It’s time-wasting.
C. It’s an easy job. D. It’s a mother’s duty.
6 How does Starks feel about the response to her Facebook post?
A. Rather disturbing. B. Beyond expectation.
C. Far from satisfactory. D. Very disappointing.
7. What can we infer about Brittany Starks from the text?
A. She is single with one child. B. She is ambitious and arbitrary.
C. She is in need of helping hands. D. She is free from financial worries.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【分析】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了单亲妈妈Brittany Starks伸出援手，为那些支付不起孩子编头发家庭的孩子免费编辫子的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段关键句“She decided to offer her hair braiding services after a family friend delivered backpacks full of school supplies, clothing and shoes for Cayden and Ceniyah in early August. “At the time, I didn’t have anything for my kids to start school,” said Starks”（8月初，家里的一个朋友给凯登和塞尼亚送去了装满学习用品、衣服和鞋子的背包，之后她（斯塔克斯）就决定提供编辫子服务。“当时，我没有任何东西供孩子上学，”斯塔克斯说）和第三段“The unexpected gift made a big difference to Starks and her children, and it motivated her to pay it forward.”（这个意想不到的礼物对斯塔克斯和她的孩子们产生了巨大的影响，也激励她把它传递下去。）可知，朋友的及时帮助让Brittany Starks开始她的编辫子服务。故选B项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段Starks的话“The hair-braiding process involves washing, blow-drying, and finally dividing the hair into small sections and braiding it. It also requires multiple supplies — including combs, brushes, hair jam and additional pieces of hair to weave in. It costs anywhere from$150 to $400 at a salon (美发厅), depending on the style,”（编发过程包括清洗、吹干，最后将头发分成小块编发。它还需要多种用品，包括梳子、刷子、发卡和额外的头发来编织。费用从150美元到400美元沙龙(美发厅)，根据不同的风格）可推知，编辫子并不是简单的事情，还有一点小贵。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段关键句“When she wrote the Facebook post, she assumed only a handful of people would reach out, but before she knew it, she had 35 appointments booked.”（当她在Facebook上发帖时，她以为只有少数人会联系她，但在她知道之前，她已经被预约了35次。）及“Her Facebook inbox was suddenly full of messages from single parents”（她的Facebook收件箱突然塞满了来自单亲父母的信息）可知，Starks认为Facebook上的回应出乎意料。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段关键句“There’s a huge need for this.”（这有巨大的需求。）及“Given that there was less than two weeks before the start of school, Starks knew she needed to enlist help.”（考虑到离开学不到两周的时间，斯塔克斯知道她需要寻求帮助。）可推知，Starks需要寻求帮助来进行自己的服务。故选C项。
C
Time was, being called “nerd (书呆子)” was a bad thing.
That is happily different now, says Sarah Jane, director at the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, which is home to the exhibit “Obsessed: The Art of Nerd-dom” through March 15. “I think the majority of my friends are nerdier than I am,” she said, “and I mean that in a ‘my friends are cooler than I am’ kind of way.”
Jane said the rise of the Internet certainly helped blossom, connecting people with common interests across geographies. Now, it’s almost mainstream—exhibitions of nerd culture fill convention halls, comic book superheroes and science fiction stories are the focus of blockbuster movies, and more.
“It has made being a nerd less of an isolating experience, and more of a community experience because you’re connecting with other people who have that shared interest,” she said.
Holladay, the co-curator (副馆长), spoke up in a meeting about what the coming exhibition season would look like.“I knew of another nerdy exhibition that had happened in LA recently... and I just thought ‘you know, I bet there are nerdy artists on the (Olympic) Peninsula and in Washington who have really quality work, where the subject matter might not fit into most exhibits’,” she said.
And she wasn’t surprised when they received plenty of recommendations.“My theory was that nerds are everywhere,” she said. “Once I got in touch with the right people, everyone was coming out of the woodwork.”
The exhibit features comic art, and things like Pokemon cards arranged in a collage (拼贴画). One work invites viewers to imagine the unique talents and abilities they have as superpowers they bring to the world. Holladay says the evolution of the idea of nerd culture has been positive over the past several years.
8. What is Sarah Jane’s attitude towards “nerds”?
A. Neutral. B. Critical. C. Appreciative. D. Uncaring.
9. Which of the following contributes most to the popularity of nerd culture?
A. People’s varying views of nerd.
B. Movies’ great influence upon people.
C. The sufferings people have gone through.
D. The Internet connecting people with shared interests.
10. What does the underlined expression “coming out of the woodwork” mean ?
A. Springing out. B. Getting out of the woods.
C. Rushing outside. D. Expecting high quality of work.
11. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The exhibition shows how being a “nerd” becomes good.
B. The nerd culture is always evolving positively.
C. Many unusual exhibitions are scheduled.
D. Another different culture appears recently.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了“书呆子”文化展览的内容。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“That is happily different now, says Sarah Jane, director at the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, which is home to the exhibit “Obsessed: The Art of Nerd-dom” through March 15. “I think the majority of my friends are nerdier than I am,” she said, “and I mean that in a ‘my friends are cooler than I am’ kind of way.”(现在情况有所不同了Sarah Jane说，她是Port Angeles艺术中心的主任，这里是3月15日的“痴迷: 宅男的艺术”展览的所在地。“我认为我的大多数朋友都比我书呆子，”她说，“我的意思是‘我的朋友比我酷’的那种方式。”)”可知，Sarah Jane说“我的大多数朋友都比我书呆子”，就像说“我的朋友比我酷”的那种方式，这说明Sarah Jane对于“呆子”的态度是欣赏的，故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Jane said the rise of the Internet certainly helped blossom, connecting people with common interests across geographies. Now, it’s almost mainstream—exhibitions of nerd culture fill convention halls, comic book superheroes and science fiction stories are the focus of blockbuster movies, and more.(Jane表示，互联网的兴起肯定有助于开花结果，将不同地域具有共同利益的人们联系在一起。现在，它几乎成了主流——书呆子文化的展览充满着会议厅，漫画书中的超级英雄和科幻小说故事成了轰动一时的电影的焦点，等等。)”可知，互联网将有共同兴趣爱好的人们联系在一起，这对书呆子文化的流行贡献最大，故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段中的“And she wasn’t surprised when they received plenty of recommendations.“My theory was that nerds are everywhere,” she said. (当他们收到大量的推荐信时，她并不感到惊讶。“我的理论是，书呆子无处不在,”她说。)”可知，Jane收到大量的推荐信，书呆子无处不在，结合上文提到的，互联网将有共同爱好的人们联系在一起，所以一旦Jane与合适的人联系，所有人就会出现，将自己的作品推荐给Jane，由此可知，画线短语“coming out of the woodwork”意为“出现”，与A项“Springing out.(突然冒出)”符合，故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“That is happily different now, says Sarah Jane, director at the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center, which is home to the exhibit “Obsessed: The Art of Nerd-dom” through March 15. “I think the majority of my friends are nerdier than I am,” she said, “and I mean that in a ‘my friends are cooler than I am’ kind of way.”( 现在情况有所不同了Sarah Jane说，她是Port Angeles艺术中心的主任，这里是3月15日的“痴迷: 宅男的艺术”展览的所在地。“我认为我的大多数朋友都比我书呆子,”她说，“我的意思是‘我的朋友比我酷’的那种方式。”)”和第三段中的“Now, it’s almost mainstream—exhibitions of nerd culture fill convention halls, comic book superheroes and science fiction stories are the focus of blockbuster movies, and more.(现在，它几乎成了主流——书呆子文化的展览充斥着会议厅，漫画书中的超级英雄和科幻小说故事成了轰动一时的电影的焦点，等等。)”和最后一段“The exhibit features comic art, and things like Pokemon cards arranged in a collage (拼贴画). One work invites viewers to imagine the unique talents and abilities they have as superpowers they bring to the world. Holladay says the evolution of the idea of nerd culture has been positive over the past several years.(这次展览以漫画艺术为特色，还有像口袋妖怪卡片这样的东西，被拼贴在一起。其中一部作品让观众想象他们作为超级力量带给世界的独特才能和能力。Holladay说书呆子文化的发展，在过去的几年里是积极的。)”可知，文章主要讲述了书呆子文化展览的内容，即展示了“书呆子”如何成为人们所欣赏的一种文化，故选A。
D
New research suggests that a gene that governs the body’s biological (circadian) clock acts differently in males versus females and may protect females from heart disease. The study is the first to analyse circadian blood pressure rhythms(节奏)in female mice.
The body’s circadian clock-the biological clock that organizes bodily activities over a 24-hour period—contributes to normal variations in blood pressure and heart function over the course of the day. In most healthy humans, blood pressure dips(下降)at night. People who do not experience this temporary drop, called “non-dippers”, are more likely to develop heart disease. The circadian clock is made up of four main proteins (encoded by “clock genes”) that regulate close to half of all genes in the body, including those important for blood pressure regulation.
Previous research has shown that male mice that are missing one of the four clock genes (PER1) become non-dippers and have a higher risk for heart and kidney disease. A research team studied the circadian response and blood pressure of female mice that lack PERI and compared them with a healthy female control group. On both low-and high-salt diets, both groups “kept an apparent circadian rhythm” of blood pressure, the researchers explained. Unlike the male mice in previous research, the females without PERI showed normal dips in blood pressure overnight.
These results suggest that the lack of PER1 acts differently in males and females. The findings are consistent with research showing that women are less likely to be non-dippers than men of the same age. “This study represents an important step in understanding sex differences in the regulation of cardiovascular(心血管的)function by the circadian clock,” the researchers wrote.
12. What does the new research find?
A. Biological clock may protect males from heart disease.
B. Biological blood pressure rhythms in female mice act normally.
C. Biological clock organizes bodily activities over a 24-hour period.
D. A gene controlling biological clock works differently between sexes.
13. What role can circadian clock play according to the text?
A. Helping males cure heart disease.
B. Helping blood pressure vary normally.
C. Contributing to abnormal variations in blood pressure.
D. Making up four main proteins regulating almost half of all genes.
14. The lack of PRRI ______
A. has the same impact on males and females
B. makes no difference to males
C. does harm to male’s health
D. is more likely to affect female’s health
15. What would be a suitable title for the text?
A. One clock gene is important
B. Women may benefit from body clock
C. New study analyses blood pressure rhythms
D. Blood pressure of healthy humans dips at night
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了控制人体生物钟的基因在男性和女性中的作用不同，女性可能受益于生物钟。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“New research suggests that a gene that governs the body’s biological (circadian) clock acts differently in males versus females and may protect females from heart disease.（新的研究表明，控制人体生物钟（昼夜节律）的基因在男性和女性中的作用不同，可能保护女性免受心脏病的侵害。）”可知，新的研究发现，控制生物钟的基因对于男性和女性的作用是不同的。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The body’s circadian clock-the biological clock that organizes bodily activities over a 24-hour period-contributes to normal variations in blood pressure and heart function over the course of the day.（人体昼夜节律的在24小时内组织身体活动的生物钟有助于一天中血压和心脏功能的正常变化。）”可知，生物钟有助于血压和心脏功能正常变化。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Previous research has shown that male mice that are missing one of the four clock genes (PER1) become non-dippers and have a higher risk for heart and kidney disease.（先前的研究表明，缺少四种生物钟基因(PER1)中的一种的雄性老鼠变得不喜欢游泳，患心脏和肾脏疾病的风险更高。）”以及“Unlike the male mice in previous research, the females without PER1 showed normal dips in blood pressure overnight.（与先前研究中的雄性小鼠不同，没有PER1的雌性小鼠在一夜之间血压正常下降。）可知，可知，缺乏PRRI对男性健康有害。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“New research suggests that a gene that governs the body’s biological （circadian）clock acts differently in males versus females and may protect females from heart disease.（新的研究表明，控制人体生物钟（昼夜节律）的基因在男性和女性中的作用不同，可能保护女性免受心脏病的侵害。）”可知，生物钟可能保护女性免受心脏病的侵害，以及最后一段“The findings are consistent with research showing that women are less likely to be non-dippers than men of the same age.（研究表明，女性比同龄男性更不可能成为非杓型。）”可知，女性受到生物钟的影响，心脏和肾脏疾病风险可能更低，所以“女性可能受益于生物钟”可以作为文章标题。故选B项。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One sunny Saturday morning, I got ready for a hike with my classmates. I was so excited about it since it was my first time to go hiking. I ate a light breakfast just a few slices of bread and an egg. After that I grabbed my backpack and hurriedly ran out of my house and then met my classmates at the school gate. At that time I didn’t think that there would be a terrible disaster ahead.
The jungle (丛林) that we are going to was far from our area. Its name was Salymbia Jungle. The drive was 3 hours long but it was not a dull ride as we were all eager about the hike and we bad each other’s company. We appointed a guide and his name was Thomas. He said that he had hiked in the Salymbia Jungle lots of times, and he was familiar with the pathways. When we arrived, Thomas allowed us to begin. There were a wide variety of plants which I had never seen before. The smell of the jungle was so earthy. All of us were amazed by the beauty of the scenery and the sound of the creatures.
After a while we were walking and then I looked at my wrist (手腕) to check the time but then I realized my watch had fallen off. Then I walked back without telling anyone. I did not worry about getting lost since there were other persons behind and I thought I would have been able to catch up with my classmates. I went back searching the pathway and I lost track of time and lost sight of my classmates. I immediately realized that I was alone.
After I realized I was lost, the first thing I did was to check my phone to see how far away I was from my companions. However, I was having no luck because there was no network in my phone, which made my phone practically useless.
Paragraph 1: The sky started to become darker.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: As I was falling asleep, I heard a human voice.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The sky started to become darker. I didn’t know what to do, so I called out to my classmates but there was no reply. I looked for a way but none of the scenes seemed familiar. I walked for a few more minutes, hoping to meet other people behind, but once again it didn’t worked. I was scared hungry and helpless. Still, I know it is no use being anxious. I needed to keep calm. I decided to stay where I was, saving my energy until the rescue team arrived.
As I was falling asleep, I heard a human voice. I doubted my ears but then I heard someone else. I screamed, “Help!” There was a note of excitement in my voice. They were rescuers who had come searching for me because my classmates reported my loss. They took me back to the bus. The moment I saw my classmates, I couldn’t control my tears in my eyes. They kept asking if I was hurt and what had happened. When they learned I was safe, they were relieved. What an unforgettable experience!
