    In the short time Steve and Zach had been inside their tent packing their tools, wind-blown flame had skipped from the top of one tree to another. The long dry summer had turned the forest into a tinderbox.
    “Let’s go! We can make it back to the river we crossed today!” Steve kept Brady on the lead and their heads down against the fire-wind. But Brady barked a sharp warning. Ahead of them lay a thick curtain of smoke across the track. They would never make it through that. The dog was pulling at his lead trying to draw them away from the smoke, and yet Steve was uneasy. It seemed to him that they were moving away from the river.
    Suddenly, Zach cried. “Zach!” Steve shouted. “Are you OK? Where are you?” Then Brady pulled Steve down a sharp slope(坡). At its base, Zach was rubbing his ankle.
    As Steve helped his friend to his feet, Brady lifted his head and snuffed(嗅) the smoke-laden wind. Next moment, the dog bounded away and disappeared. The boys shouted for him, but he didn’t come back. Steve couldn’t blame Brady for panicking. He himself wanted to run even though he didn’t have a clue which way.
    Steve and Zach hadn’t gone far when there was a familiar bark, and Brady came bounding, stopped directly in front of Steve and hit him with his head, pushing him back toward the slope they’d just climbed. But Steve didn’t get it. Then Brady grabbed the boy’s jeans and started pulling. The message was clear, but Steve hesitated. Of course he remembered Brady saving his uncle’s life when the dog was much younger. Was he still sharp enough to get them through this?
    Nearby, a pine went up in a whoosh of smoke. Brady pulled again, urgently. “OK, big guy,” Steve gritted(咬紧牙关). Brady led them back down the slope and into the trees. Not far from them fire was touching underbrush. Several times the big dog stopped. Often he changed directions. Steve was so tired that he just wanted to rest, but Brady wouldn’t have it. The dog bullied both boys to go on. How long they’d walked Steve had no idea. He was almost numb when he heard it—the wonderful sound of rushing water!
    34. What happened to Steve and Zach at first?
    A. They got injured. B. They lost their dog.
    C. They were trapped. D. They became separated.
    35. Brady ran away to ______.
    A. seek help B. find a way out
    C. rescue Zach D. escape for life
    36. How did Steve feel after Brady pulled his jeans?

    37. The passage basically describes ________.
    A. an adventure B. an exploration
    C. an escape game D. a training program
    【答案】34. D 35. B 36. D 37. A

    C
    Most groups of plants and animals are richer in species and more plentiful near the equator. In the ocean, that holds true for cold-blooded predators(掠食者). But warm-blooded predators are more diverse toward the poles and noticeably missing from several warm hot spots. Why?
    John Grady, an ecologist, and his team considered the possibility—warm-blooded animals need a lot to fuel their metabolism(新陈代谢). Perhaps colder waters are just richer in small fish? But they found that at higher, colder places, there isn’t actually much more food around. It’s more that warm-blooded animals are eating a much bigger share of it than their cold-blooded competitors.
    The real explanation is simple. An animal’s speed, swiftness, and intelligence depend on its metabolism, which in turn depends on its temperature. Since birds and mammals can keep heating their bodies in icy conditions, they remain fast and attentive. By contrast, the fish they hunt become slower and duller. At some tipping point of temperature, seals, dolphins, and penguins start outswimming their prey(猎物). They become more likely to come upon targets and outpace the cold-blooded predators of their own.
    In Grady’s words, “Warm-bodied predators are favoured where preys are slow, stupid and cold.” That’s why sharks and other predatory fish dominate near the equator, but colder waters are the kingdom of whales and seals. By keeping food to themselves in the poles, these creatures can then specialize on specific types of prey, which makes them more likely to split into separate species. The killer whales of the North Pacific, for example, include mammal-eating transients and fish-eating, year-round residents.
    But the world is changing. It’s likely that the surface of the oceans will warm by 2 to 3℃ within this century. Grady’s team estimates that every time the ocean’s surface warms by 1℃, populations of sea mammals will fall by 12%, and populations of seals and sea lions will fall by 24%.
    But “predictions are hard,” Donna Hauser from the University of Alaska Fairbanks notes. “Polar bears are losers of a warming world, but some populations are still doing well. Some groups of whales have changed the timing of their migrations; others are hunting in deeper, colder waters. These changes might make sea mammals more adaptable to changing climates. Maybe they just need to find the places where fish remain slow, stupid and cold.”
    38. Why are there more types of warm-blooded predators near the poles?
    A. Because there is more food.
    B. Because there are fewer enemies.
    C. Because they are faster and wiser.
    D. Because they consume less energy.
    39. The author mentions the killer whales to show ______.
    A. the benefit of biological evolution
    B. food preference of different sea mammals
    C. the distinction of specific types of predators
    D. the advantage of constant body temperature
    40. What is Donna Hauser’s attitude towards the future of the sea mammals?
    A. Positive. B. Negative.
    C. Neutral. D. Sceptical.
    41. Which is the best title for the passage?
    A. Are the Poles Heaven for Sea Predators?
    B. How Do Sea Mammals Track Their Prey?
    C. Why Do the Warm-Blooded Like Food Cold?
    D. Is the World Too Hot for the Warm-Blooded?
    【答案】38. C 39. D 40. A 41. C
    【解析】
    这是一篇说明文。在赤道附近,大多数动植物种类更丰富,数量也更多。但是温血食肉动物在两极的分布更加多样化,在一些温暖的热点地区明显缺失。文章并且分析了这一想象的原因。
    【38题详解】
    推理判断题。第三段第二句An animal’s speed, swiftness, and intelligence depend on its metabolism, which in turn depends on its temperature. Since birds and mammals can keep heating their bodies in icy conditions, they remain fast and attentive.可知动物的速度、速度和智力取决于它的新陈代谢,而新陈代谢又取决于它的体温。由于鸟类和哺乳动物可以在寒冷的环境中保持体温,所以它们保持快速和专注。因此极地附近有更多种类的温血掠食者是因为他们更快更聪明。故选C。
    【39题详解】
    推理判断题。根据第四段第一句In Grady’s words, “Warm-bodied predators are favoured where preys are slow, stupid and cold.” That’s why sharks and other predatory fish dominate near the equator, but colder waters are the kingdom of whales and seals.可知 “身体温暖的捕食者更喜欢那些行动缓慢、愚蠢和寒冷的猎物。”“这就是为什么鲨鱼和其他掠食性鱼类在赤道附近占统治地位,而较冷的水域则是鲸鱼和海豹的王国。故作者提到鲸鱼是为了说明恒温动物的优点,故选D。
    【40题详解】
    细节理解题。根据最后一段倒数第二句These changes might make sea mammals more adaptable to changing climates.可知Donna Hauser认为这些变化可能使海洋哺乳动物更能适应不断变化的气候。他对于海洋哺乳动物的未来是积极乐观的。故选A。
    【41题详解】
    主旨大意题。第一段第三句But warm-blooded predators are more diverse toward the poles and noticeably missing from several warm hot spots.以及本文主要内容是分析温血食肉动物在两极的分布更多的原因,故选C。
    D
    Last fall, I happened to overhear a student telling the others he had decided not to sign up for an introductory philosophy course. The demands of his major, he said seriously, meant he needed to take “practical” courses, and “enlightenment” would simply have to wait. For now, employability was the most important.
    The students’ conversation fits into a larger alarming narrative about the role of the humanities in higher education. In a time of dizzying technological achievement and of rapid scientific innovation, sceptics of the humanities may question the usefulness of studying Aristotle, the Italian Renaissance or Chinese fiction.
    Actually, I regret not interrupting that student to argue for taking that introductory philosophy course. I would have started by reminding him that, for much of America’s history, college graduates were not considered truly educated unless they had mastered philosophy, literature, political theory and history. The key role of higher education was to invite students into the conversations about matters like what it means to be alive and the definition of justice. Fostering engagement with these subjects is still an essential part of the university’s function in society.
    I would have also mentioned to the student that he was misinformed about the job market. It is true that many employers are looking for graduates with specialized technical skills, but they also look for other capabilities. As the world is transformed by artificial intelligence, machine learning and automation, the unique human qualities of creativity, imagination and moral reasoning will be the ultimate coin of the realm. All these skills are developed in humanities courses.
    Further, I would have argued that while a degree anchored in the sciences is an important precondition for many jobs, it is not the only route. Look no further than the founders of companies such as LinkedIn, Slack and Flickr, who are among the many tech businesspersons with degrees in the humanities, and who credit that training for their success.
    Contrary to the widely held belief that humanities majors have a hard time getting jobs, recent studies show that those with humanities degrees are successful in the workplace, experiencing low rates of unemployment and reporting high levels of job satisfaction. The ratio between average median(中位数) incomes for humanities degree holders and those with business, engineering, and health and medical sciences degrees has been shown to narrow over the course of a career.
    The case for the humanities can also be understood in less transactional terms and more as a foundational preparation for a life well lived. A humanities education plays a vital role in encouraging citizens to lead an examined life. It fosters critical thinking, self-reflection, empathy and tolerance, the usefulness of which only becomes more apparent as one navigates life’s challenges.
    By all means, students should take courses they think practical and follow their interests, but if they also make a point of studying the literature of the Renaissance, or researching into modern poetry, or even taking introductory philosophy, we will all benefit.
    42. What do the students’ conversation show?
    A. Students feel employment difficult.
    B. Students think philosophy less important.
    C. Students find scientific innovation amazing.
    D. Students consider university courses unsatisfying.
    43. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
    A. Highly valued. B. Equally applied.
    C. Strictly assessed. D. Greatly improved.
    44. The author may agree that humanities _____.
    A. discover students’ artistic ability
    B. prepare students for graduation
    C. raise awareness of social status
    D. provide great insights into life
    45. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?
    I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: Conclusion
    A. B.
    C. D.
    【答案】42. B 43. A 44. D 45. D
    【解析】
    这是一篇议论文。作者就“哲学课程是否没那么重要”展开了论述,提出自己的看法和论证依据。
    【42题详解】
    细节理解题。根据第一段第二句The demands of his major, he said seriously, meant he needed to take “practical” courses, and “enlightenment” would simply have to wait. For now, employability was the most important.可知对话中学生提到他需要学习“实用”课程,而“启蒙”只能等一等。目前,就业能力是最重要的。可知学生的对话显示出学生认为哲学不那么重要。故选B。
    【43题详解】
    词义猜测题。根据上文As the world is transformed by artificial intelligence, machine learning and automation, the unique human qualities of creativity, imagination and moral reasoning will be.可知人类独特的创造力、想象力和道德推理能力都是在人文学科课程中培养出来的,这些才是真正有价值的,故选A。
    【44题详解】
    细节理解题。倒数第二段最后一句It fosters critical thinking, self-reflection, empathy and tolerance, the usefulness of which only becomes more apparent as one navigates life’s challenges.可知作者认为人们科学培养批判性思维、自我反省、同理心和宽容,只有当一个人应对生活中的挑战时,这些品质的作用才会变得更加明显。故人文科学提供了对生活的深刻见解。故选D。

    Are You a Prisoner of Perfection?
    Do you struggle for a goal that is beyond your reach? ____46____ Are you setting yourself up for failure and shame when you can’t achieve the unachievable? Understanding what drives perfectionism is the first step toward releasing this self-created anchor that keeps us stuck.
    Shame and fear are often the hidden drivers of perfectionism. We believe that if we can fashion a perfectly polished personality, flash our intelligence, and perfect our humour, then no one can hurt us with criticism and we’ll win respect and approval.
    ___47___ Politicians who display a desperate need to be right and refuse to acknowledge mistakes or uncertainty are often driven by a secret shame. They fear that showing vulnerability(弱点) will expose them to the accusation that they’re weak. They stick to a desire to be right, perfect, and polished, even when it’s obvious that the emperor has no clothes.
    Perfectionism keeps us leaning toward the future. We’re constantly evaluating ourselves in order to do better. ____48____ However, if we can’t relax and enjoy lighter moments, then we become prisoners of our perfectionism. We get painfully self-conscious and take ourselves too seriously. Sadly, we deprive(剥夺) ourselves of the simple pleasure of enjoying the moment and being ourselves.
    ___49___ We realize that failing at any enterprise doesn’t mean that we are a failure. Without failures, we’ll never learn from our mistakes; we’ll never move forward in our lives. Those who succeed have made countless mistakes. The important thing is to learn from our error, forgive ourselves and move on.
    Being human, perfection is impossible. ____50____ Releasing ourselves from the desire to protect our image, we’re freed to sail gracefully through our successes and failures—and enjoy our precious life.
    A. Do you hold an idealized vision that is impossible to realize?
    B. A cure to perfectionism is to make room for our human shortcomings.
    C. Do you fear that others will be horrified by what you judge about yourself?
    D. The addiction to staying perfect protects us from any sign of being imperfect.
    E. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to do our best and self-correcting along the way.
    F. People who are addicted to perfection are often isolated, even if they seem outgoing and popular.
    G. By accepting ourselves as we are and doing our best, we begin to rid the shame that drives perfectionism.
    【答案】46. A 47. D
    48. E 49. B
    50. G
    【解析】
    这是一篇说明文。羞耻和恐惧往往是完美主义背后的驱动力。如果我们能塑造一个完美的人格,展示我们的智慧,完善我们的幽默,那么没有人可以用批评来伤害我们,我们会赢得尊重和认可。
    【46题详解】
    根据上文Do you struggle for a goal that is beyond your reach?可知本空为列举完美主义带来的问题是为一个你无法达到的目标而奋斗、有一个无法实现的理想愿景,故选A。
    【47题详解】
    本句为段首主题句。根据本段最后一句They stick to a desire to be right, perfect, and polished, even when it’s obvious that the emperor has no clothes.可知坚持正确、完美和优雅的愿望,即使很明显皇帝没有穿衣服。可知沉迷于保持完美让我们不能忍受任何不完美的迹象。故选D。
    【48题详解】
    根据上文We’re constantly evaluating ourselves in order to do better. 为了做得更好,我们不断地评估自己。下文评价这样的行为“想要做最好的自己,并在过程中自我纠正,这没有什么错。”故选E。
    【49题详解】
    根据下文We realize that failing at any enterprise doesn’t mean that we are a failure. 我们意识到,在任何企业中失败都不意味着我们就是一个失败者。可知本段强调要学会容忍我们人类的缺点是治愈完美主义的方法,故选B。
    【50题详解】
    根据下文Releasing ourselves from the desire to protect our image, we’re freed to sail gracefully through our successes and failures—and enjoy our precious life.可知把自己从保护形象的欲望中释放出来,我们就能从容地走过成功和失败——享受我们宝贵的生命。故本空强调要通过接受我们自己,并尽我们最大的努力,开始摆脱驱动完美主义的羞耻。故选G。

    【答案】Dear Jim,
    I’m very glad to know that you are interested in the changes in Beijing. Let me tell you some of the developments during the past few years.
    I have witnessed many great changes in my city. The most impressive one is the rapid development of transportation. In the past, people travelled mainly by bus. Nowadays, with more and more subway lines built, it is much faster and more convenient for people to go almost everywhere. Additionally, the spread of public bikes helps people travel any distance more easily. All these couldn’t have happened without the measures taken by the government and applications of new technology.
    I enjoy these conveniences every day and feel proud of my city. I am confident that Beijing will become more liveable in the future. Just come and have a look yourself!
    Yours,

    【答案】Last winter vacation, my classmates and I worked as volunteers in a hospital.
    On our first morning, a doctor gave us a lecture, informing us of our roles as volunteers. It was the first time for me to know the daily routines in a hospital.
    The next morning, fully prepared, we went to different posts and started our job. Together with my classmates, I assisted some patients when they didn’t know how to use the self-service registration machine. For senior citizens, we helped them register to save them the trouble.
    Besides, I showed people the way to different consulting rooms. For those elderly patients, we accompanied them all the way until it was their appointment time. They really appreciated our help.
    Later I shared my picture in the hospital on WeChat Moments. In no time, I received lots of likes from my friends. Some even expressed their great interest in the voluntary work. Actually, I had the most amazing experience doing very simple things for others.
