M: Yeah, I would. The credits I’ve earned here will move to Central. I’ve already checked.
W: Well, even though you can still have your credits here, you will have to take extra courses, because Central has different requirements.
M: Hmm… I didn’t think about that. I guess I’ll find out the exact changing requirements. Thank you for all your help.

A. Fiction.
B. Poetry.
C. Newspaper articles.
【答案】17 C 18. B 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【原文】People always ask me why I only travel the hard way! A lot of television travel programs are about relaxing holidays on the beach, but I’ve only ever taken really long trips. The last trip I did was a 50,000-mile journey around the Pacific Ocean, and it took 12 months. But my very first trip was a “round the world” journey, and the most difficult one was probably a car journey from the North Pole to the South Pole! As you can imagine, I’ve seen a lot of the world! I’m lucky to be in really excellent health, but life is very short and I’ve done so much traveling that I want a change. Traveling long distances wears you out and although it’s still a great pleasure for me, I want to do something more relaxing now. But the programs I’ve made about the really long trips will encourage other people to get on a plane and have some adventures. Some people seem to be afraid of going to a strange country and perhaps being ill there, but maybe they realize now that if I can do these trips, so can they. I’m only a very ordinary person. And obviously you don’t have to travel on your own as I always have. Perhaps if I spend more time at home I can do more writing. I’ve done two books so far. I write about places I’ve seen and my feelings about them. I don’t think I’ll ever write fiction or poetry oh, but I’d be interested in writing newspaper articles. My family says I’m very difficult to live with when I’m writing at home ... perhaps that’s why they’ve never been upset about me traveling!

In 1868 six-year-old Laura Jernegan,her parents, and her baby brother,Prescott,set sail from New Bedford, Massachusetts. This was no vacation cruise.Laura's father,captain of the whaleship Roman, was hunting the mightiest animal on earth.
Unwilling to be separated from his family for three to four years while he made ocean voyages thousands of miles from home, Captain Jernegan took them with him to share in the adventure—and the danger-of life at sea. In the mid-1800s,as many as one in six American whaling, captains took their families on voyages.
What was it like to live on a whaleship? The diary Laura kept while she was at sea offers a look into her unusual childhood. She was fascinated by her father's job. When the ship's lookout spotted a whale, Laura recorded it in her diary."I hope we shall get him,"she wrote.
She watched as the men rushed to their whaleboats and chased the whales. As soon as a whale was caught, the crew began to process it. First the crew"cut in" the whale by removing its thick blanket of blubber(鯨脂).
After throwing pieces of blubber into large pots, two men would "get in the pots and squish (擠)out the blubber,"Laura wrote. It must have been a strange sight because the sailors were "way up to their knees" in the greasy fat, she reported.
Now came the hot,smoky,and smelly par.A brick furnace(火爐)was fired up,and the blubber was tried out, or boiled into oil. One huge whale produced enough oil to fill seventy-five barrels, she noted in disbelief. When the Jernegans returned home, the oil would be sold for the best price possible.Whale oil was important during most of the nineteenth century.It was used to light lamps and to make candles.
Two and a half years after she had left New Bedford, deep-water adventure came to an abrupt end. The Jernegans were whaling in the South Pacific when several crew members mutinied(反叛). Fortunately,the mutiny was stopped before anyone got killed.Her parents were terrified.They decided that a whaleship was no place for children. Laura, Prescott,and Mrs. Jernegan headed straight back to the United States on a passenger ship, and Captain Jernegan continued his whaling voyage.
This era, often called the golden age of whaling, was over in the late nineteenth century. Yet one girl's diary has helped to ensure that this chapter in America's seafaring history will not be forgotten.
24. Why did Captain Jernegan take his family out on a whale hunt?
A. To experience the pleasant life at sea.
B. To spend a nice vacation with his family.
C. To avoid a long separation from his family.
D. To follow in the footsteps of other captains.
25. What can we learn about processing the hunted whales?
A. Laura offered help to the work.
B. It was very hard and dirty work.
C. It started from boiling the blubber.
D. The workers couldn't stand the heat and bad smell.
26. Why did Captain Jernegan send his wife and children home?
A. He worried about their safety.
B. Laura had no friends on his ship.
C. There happened to be a passenger ship.
D. They had been away from home too long.
27. What can we infer from Laura's dairy?
A. Her father stopped whaling after the mutiny.
B. Hunting whales was challenging but rewarding.
C. She thought deep-water adventures were boring.
D. The 20th century was thc golden age of whaling.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【分析】這是一篇記敘文。講述了美國(guó)歷史上的捕鯨黃金期時(shí),一位叫做Jernegan的船長(zhǎng)帶著家人出海捕鯨,船長(zhǎng)女兒Laura Jernegan通過(guò)日記記錄下來(lái)的見(jiàn)聞經(jīng)歷。
【詳解】1. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段“Unwilling to be separated from his family for three to four years while he made ocean voyages thousands of miles from home, Captain Jernegan took them with him to share in the adventure—and the danger-of life at sea.”(,杰尼根船長(zhǎng)在離家數(shù)千英里的海上航行期間,他不愿與家人分開(kāi)三到四年,于是他帶著家人一起分享海上生活的冒險(xiǎn)和危險(xiǎn)。),可知船長(zhǎng)不想和家人分開(kāi)太久,所以把家人都帶到了船上。故選C項(xiàng)。
2. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第五段“After throwing pieces of blubber into large pots, two men would "get in the pots and squish (擠)out the blubber,"Laura wrote. ”(在把鯨脂碎片扔進(jìn)大盆后,兩人會(huì)進(jìn)入大盆里去擠壓鯨脂,”勞拉說(shuō)。)以及第六段“Now came the hot, smoky, and smelly part. ”(現(xiàn)在到了熱氣熏人,煙霧繚繞,臭氣熏天的工作了。),可知這份工作又臟又累。故選B項(xiàng)。
3. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段“The Jernegans were whaling in the South Pacific when several crew members mutinied(反叛). ”(Jernegans在南太平洋捕鯨時(shí),幾個(gè)船員發(fā)動(dòng)反叛。)以及“Her parents were terrified.They decided that a whaleship was no place for children. ”(她的父母非常害怕。他們都一致認(rèn)為捕鯨船不是孩子該待的地方。),可知船長(zhǎng)遇到了船員反叛,認(rèn)為孩子在船長(zhǎng)不安全,所以就把家人都送回家。故選A項(xiàng)。
4. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)上文所述捕鯨工作是既辛苦又骯臟,而且在南太平洋捕鯨時(shí),船長(zhǎng)還遭遇了船員叛變以及倒數(shù)第三段“One huge whale produced enough oil to fill seventy-five barrels, she noted in disbelief. When the Jernegans returned home, the oil would be sold for the best price possible.”(她非常難以置信地寫(xiě)到,一條巨大的鯨魚(yú)產(chǎn)出的石油足夠裝滿75桶。當(dāng)杰尼根一家返回家鄉(xiāng)時(shí),石油會(huì)以最好的價(jià)格出售。),可知捕鯨很辛苦,但是回報(bào)也是很豐盛的。故選B項(xiàng)。
【點(diǎn)睛】通讀文章了解主要內(nèi)容揣摩中心思想,認(rèn)真通讀所有題目理解題意,抓住關(guān)鍵詞,再帶著問(wèn)題及關(guān)鍵詞仔細(xì)地閱讀有關(guān)內(nèi)容,認(rèn)真地思考組織答案。比如本篇第3題關(guān)鍵詞為send his wife and children home(把妻兒送回家),帶著關(guān)鍵詞,找到相關(guān)信息在倒數(shù)第二段“headed straight back to the United States”。因此相關(guān)題目答案信息應(yīng)該在此段落內(nèi)尋找。故此題選擇A項(xiàng)。
C
When did you last write a letter? Properly write on—by hand? In a digital world, where sending a text or email is far more convenient than using snail mail, is the writing on the wall for traditional pen and paper? Well, some people claim that writing still has many benefits, so maybe it's not time to ditch your ballpoint(圓珠筆)or fountain pen(鋼筆)yet.
These days, when people request things in writing, a typed, electronic document will be accepted. Doing this on a computer means it could be saved, edited, copied and sent via email. But crafting a handwriting document is unique: It requires planning and thought, and, as well as practising your handwriting, it helps you to remember spelling and punctuation.
Some experts believe your brain benefits from using old-fashioned pen and paper. This is particularly relevant for students,where typing notes into a laptop is thought to lack the "tactile feedback"(觸覺(jué)反饋)to the brain that contact between pen and paper docs. BBC Worklife website quotes Hetty Roessingh from the University of Calgary,who says that "taking notes by hand involves cognitive(認(rèn)知的)engagement in summarizing, adapting, organizing. concept and vocabulary mapping. Others agree that handwriting may boost fine motor skills in your hands and fingers.
There are everyday benefits to using pen and paper too. Scribbling(涂狗)notes,shopping lists or messages on the back of an envelope can still be useful, quick and portable. But putting pen to paper in a letter to a friend or loved one can probably have the most impact. Pen pal writer Katherine Moller told the BBC: "In a world where it is so easy to hop online to email or to send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone chose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you."
So, while digital skills remain important, don't write off your pens and pencils yet—especially if your smartphone, tablet or laptop runs out of power!
28. What does the underlined word "ditch"mean in the first paragraph?
A. Write. B. Abandon.
C. Save. D. Choose.
29. What does the writer want to emphasize in Paragraph 2?
A. The popularity of electronic documents.
B. The convenience of electronic documents.
C. The special features of handwritten documents.
D. The basic requirements of handwritten documents.
30. Which of the following is the benefit of writing by hand?
A. It fully develops your hand muscles.
B. It helps you to practise your handwriting.
C. It strengthens the bond between pen and paper.
D. It sharpens your comprehensive cognitive abilities.
31. What can we infer from Katherine Moller's words?
A. It is necessary for us to turn off the virtual world.
B. Scribbling notes should be practised in our daily life.
C. Using paper and pen has the greatest impact on our daily life.
D. Writing a letter by hand can be a touching and valuable experience.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【分析】這是一篇說(shuō)明文。一些專家認(rèn)為用手書(shū)寫(xiě)在很多方面對(duì)人們有好處。因此雖然數(shù)字技能很重要,但不要放棄你的筆。
【28題詳解】
詞句猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)劃線部分所在句子“Well, some people claim that writing still has many benefits, so maybe it's not time to ditch your ballpoint(圓珠筆)or fountain pen(鋼筆)yet.(好吧,有些人聲稱寫(xiě)作仍然有很多好處,所以也許現(xiàn)在還不是ditch你的圓珠筆或鋼筆的時(shí)候)”可知,一些人認(rèn)為用手寫(xiě)東西有很多好處。因此推知,現(xiàn)在可能還不是放棄你的圓珠筆或鋼筆的時(shí)候,即劃線詞意為 “放棄”,與abandon同義。故選B。
【29題詳解】

Recently, many climate change campaigns and organizations have marketed themselves using images of polar bears losing their habitat.This has led many people to view the polar bear as the global icon(象征物)for our climate crisis.
The polar bear has become so widespread because it does an excellent job of playing on an audience's emotions and convincing them that there is an urgent problem on Earth. The imagery of a polar bear is also much more attractive than a scientific graph(圖表)or chart of increasing sea levels or extreme weather event occurrences.
However,using polar bears as the only icon of our changing climate is flawed(有錯(cuò)的).For one,it only represents one effect of climate change, global warming,and not climate change itself. It neglects to address other aspects such as extreme weather events, ocean acidification, etc.While global warming is an important impact of climate change, the other aspects need to be communicated as well since climate change may not even cause warming in certain parts of the world—it could lead to severe snowstorms or colder winters instead. Thus, communicating these other elements is vital because it can reduce much of the misinformation surrounding our climate and gives the audience a more comprehensive understanding of our planet.
Moreover,using polar bears is problematic because most people do not live anywhere near polar bear habitat.This makes polar bears feel far removed from our own personal reality-thus making climate change feel far removed from our lives. Since climate change is anything but a distant phenomenon, a symbol that communicates the ways in which the climate crisis affects humans could be more convincing and push more people to act.
Even though using the polar bear as the icon of climate change is limited in conveying the full scope of our climate crisis, it can act as an agent of opening up the conversation about environmental issues and inspiring viewers to dive deeper into learning about climate change.
32. Why are polar bears preferred as marketing images?
A. Their imagery is more convincing.
B. They are likely to lose their habitats.
C. They are unique victims of the climate crisis.
D. The data on them often appear in scientific graphs.
33. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A. Polar bears arc the only indicator of climate change.
B. Climate change is bound to result in global warming.
C. All elements of climate change have been communicated to the public.
D. Using polar bears as the only icon of climate change will cause some problems.
34. What does the underlined word"This"refer to in Paragraph 4?
A. Failing to understand our planet.
B. Refusing to take immediate action.
C. Living apart from polar bear habitat.
D. Using polar bears to explain climate change.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. The occurrence of climate change
B. The possible impact of climate change
C. The dangerous symbol of polar bears
D. The importance of protecting polar bears
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. C

【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。最近,許多氣候變化運(yùn)動(dòng)和組織利用北極熊失去棲息地的圖像來(lái)宣傳自己。這使得許多人將北極熊視為氣候危機(jī)的全球標(biāo)志。雖然用北極熊作為氣候變化的標(biāo)志,在傳達(dá)我們的氣候危機(jī)的全面范圍上是有限的,但它可以作為一個(gè)媒介,能夠開(kāi)啟關(guān)于環(huán)境問(wèn)題的對(duì)話,并激勵(lì)觀眾深入了解氣候變化。
【32題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“The imagery of a polar bear is also much more attractive than a scientific graph(圖表)or chart of increasing sea levels or extreme weather event occurrences.( 北極熊的形象也比海平面上升或極端天氣事件發(fā)生的科學(xué)圖表或統(tǒng)計(jì)圖更有吸引力。)”可知北極熊的形象比其他科學(xué)圖表更加有吸引力,容易使人信服,所以人們喜歡把北極熊作為營(yíng)銷形象。故選A。
【33題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的首句“However, using polar bears as the only icon of our changing climate is flawed(有錯(cuò)的)( 然而,用北極熊作為氣候變化的唯一標(biāo)志是有缺陷的).”及段落其他內(nèi)容的分析可推知把北極熊作為氣候的唯一標(biāo)志是有缺陷的,可能會(huì)引起一些問(wèn)題。故選D。
【34題詳解】
詞句猜測(cè)題。劃線詞是指示代詞,指代前文的內(nèi)容,前文是“Moreover,using polar bears is problematic because most people do not live anywhere near polar bear habitat.( 此外,使用北極熊也是有問(wèn)題的,因?yàn)榇蠖鄶?shù)人都不住在北極熊棲息地附近。)”,由此可知this指大多數(shù)人都不住在北極熊棲息地附近的這種現(xiàn)象。故選C。
【35題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“Even though using the polar bear as the icon of climate change is limited in conveying the full scope of our climate crisis, it can act as an agent of opening up the conversation about environmental issues and inspiring viewers to dive deeper into learning about climate change.( 雖然用北極熊作為氣候變化的標(biāo)志,在傳達(dá)我們的氣候危機(jī)的全面范圍上是有限的,但它可以作為一個(gè)媒介,能夠開(kāi)啟關(guān)于環(huán)境問(wèn)題的對(duì)話,并激勵(lì)觀眾深入了解氣候變化。)”可知文章主要講北極熊作為氣候危機(jī)變化的標(biāo)志,雖然有缺陷,但能吸引人們關(guān)注其后變化。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知選項(xiàng)C .The dangerous symbol of polar bears(北極熊的危險(xiǎn)氣候象征)概括較為全面。故選C。

___36___Groundbreaking work of cognitive neuroscientists reveals what we think of as"extras"are central to strengthening our minds.
Take music as an example. A study shows that musical training, particularly instrumental training, produces long lasting changes in motor abilities and brain structure. The earlier a child starts instrumental training, the stronger the connection between the right and left hemispheres(半球) of the brain.___37___
What is found in musicians is also common among world-class athletes and top-level managers. Is it a coincidence that Roger Federer, Elon Musk and Steve Job, all studied music for years as children?___38___Science backs that up.Children who play an instrument 30 minutes a week over the course of a little over a year have more highly developed brains.
___39___ Studying a second language restructures the brain which lasts into adulthood. The cortex(大腦皮層),which has the greatest changes when a second language is learned during childhood,influences thought and consciousness.
How about physical education? Apart from the humanities(人文學(xué)科),new research also reveals children who get aerobic exercise transform their brains due to a protein that is increased during exercise. Exercise matters deeply for cognitive development for kids.___40___
Concentration, evolved communication skills, and being a good team player are just a few of the benefits research shows extra-curriculums have on a developing mind. To me, that list reads as one I might put together for a model employee.
A. The same is true for a foreign language.
B. There are sound reasons for the concern.
C. Foreign language learning should be given top priority to.
D. There is no doubt that instrumental training should be on the to-do list.
E. These changes thus affect the ability to listen and communicate as an adult.

【分析】這是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要介紹了火藥是如何發(fā)明的,在古代的運(yùn)用,以及對(duì)人類文化的影響。
【56題詳解】
考查固定短語(yǔ)。句意:中國(guó)古代煉金師花了幾個(gè)世紀(jì)的時(shí)間試圖發(fā)現(xiàn)長(zhǎng)生不老藥。結(jié)合句意表達(dá)“試圖做某事”應(yīng)用try to do sth.,不定式作賓語(yǔ)。故填to discover。
【57題詳解】
考查定語(yǔ)從句。句意:在唐代,大約公元850年,一位富有進(jìn)取心的煉金術(shù)士創(chuàng)造了一種混合物,這種混合物對(duì)延長(zhǎng)壽命沒(méi)有明顯效果,但當(dāng)暴露在明火中時(shí)爆炸了。分析可知,空處引導(dǎo)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句,先行詞mixture指物,從句缺少主語(yǔ),應(yīng)用關(guān)系代詞which。故填which。
【58題詳解】
考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。句意:在唐代,大約公元850年,一位富有進(jìn)取心的煉金術(shù)士創(chuàng)造了一種混合物,這種混合物對(duì)延長(zhǎng)壽命沒(méi)有明顯效果,但當(dāng)暴露在明火中時(shí)爆炸了。be exposed to“暴露于……”為固定短語(yǔ),此處省略be用過(guò)去分詞和when構(gòu)成時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)。故填exposed。
【59題詳解】
考查介詞。句意:多年來(lái),許多西方歷史書(shū)籍都指出中國(guó)人將他的發(fā)現(xiàn)僅用于焰火,但事實(shí)并非如此。結(jié)合句意可知,此處為固定短語(yǔ)use...for...“把……用于……”。故填for。

考查連詞。句意:多年來(lái),許多西方歷史書(shū)籍都指出中國(guó)人將他的發(fā)現(xiàn)僅用于焰火,但事實(shí)并非如此。結(jié)合句意可知,事實(shí)并非很多西方史書(shū)中陳述的那樣,即上下文是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,應(yīng)用but/yet連接。故填but/yet。
【61題詳解】
考查代詞。句意:早在公元904年,宋朝軍隊(duì)就使用火藥裝置對(duì)付他們的主要敵人——蒙古人。修飾名詞詞組primary enemy要用形容詞性物主代詞。故填their。
【62題詳解】
考查時(shí)態(tài)。句意:到11世紀(jì)中后期,宋朝政府開(kāi)始關(guān)注火藥技術(shù)向其他國(guó)家的傳播。根據(jù)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)“By the mid-to late-eleventh century”可知,句子應(yīng)用過(guò)去完成時(shí)。故填had become。
【63題詳解】
考查冠詞。句意:1267年,一位歐洲作家提到了火藥,1280年,西方出版了第一批火藥配方。writer為可數(shù)名詞,此處泛指一個(gè)作家,應(yīng)用不定冠詞,且European的發(fā)音是以輔音音素開(kāi)頭,故填a。
【64題詳解】
考查時(shí)態(tài)和主謂一致。句意:1267年,一位歐洲作家提到了火藥,1280年,西方出版了第一批火藥配方??仗帪榫渥又^語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞,主語(yǔ)recipes是復(fù)數(shù),且根據(jù)1280判斷為一般過(guò)去時(shí)。故填were。

【答案】Dear fellow students,
In an attempt to promote parent-child relationship and encourage independence in students, an activity with the theme of “sharing housework in the family” is being held by the Students’ Union.
During the activity, we are required to help with whatever household chores we can take on, such as helping clean the dining table or wash clothes. Hopefully, we will gain a better understanding of parents’ devotion to the family and show more respect for all labourers.
As teenagers, we are supposed to shoulder our responsibility in the family. Take action and do our part!

This happened with me once while coming back from office late at night. The time was around 11:30 pm and most of the public transport had stopped.
It had been a long busy day. I was annoyed and too eager to reach home and rest. I was on my bike. The traffic signal just before my house turned red and my anger rose.
Then suddenly someone came up from behind me and tied to hand me a piece of paper.I thought it was another one of those people who hand you pages of some sad story and ask you for money. I could feel anger boiling up inside me shirked (避開(kāi)) the person away with the motion of my hand without even looking at him.
This guy moved over to the next person in traffic and did a similar thing of showing him the paper. The other guy who was not in as bad mood as mine looked at the paper and started giving directions.It was at this moment realized that the person who came to me was asking for directions. He couldn't speak so he had written it down on a piece of paper.He was not some beggar asking for money, and he was dressed as a salesman carrying one of those bully encyclopedias (百科全書(shū)). After getting the directions he smiled at the person,bowed his head showing his appreciation and jogged away to the other end of the road.
I felt a sudden tender pity for him.By the time the signal turned green this salesman was standing at the other end of the road signalling people for a lift.I decided to help him out but my house was on a different route than where he was asking for a lift.I moved on but I was still feeling bad fr treating a hard working person that way.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When another bike stopped and he sat on the bike, he noticed me in the distance.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】After going about 100 meters I decided to turn back to offer him a helping hand. Nothing could set my mind at rest other than having a chance to make up for treating him that way. Without?hesitation I?turned?around?and?made?my?way?to?where?we?first met. When I saw him, the exhausted but patient salesman was still signalling at people for a lift and meanwhile showing them the piece of paper. I pressed my feet down sharply on the pedals in a desperate attempt to offer my help as soon as possible.
When another bike stopped and he sat on the bike, he noticed me in the distance. I thought he would probably pretend not to have seen me. To my surprise, he smiled and waved at me as he was swallowed up by the crowd. I was almost rooted to the spot with regretful tears rolling down my cheeks. Though this incident didn’t change my life, I learned a precious lesson: try to treat others with tolerance and kindness even though sometimes life throws you a curveball.
