As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children. Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification. “Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts (干旱) have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals.
In 2012, Toumi consolidated her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”
By September 2016, more than 130, 000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2018. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.
4. How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her?
A. They made her decide to leave the country.
B. They helped her better understand her father.
C. They fired her enthusiasm for helping others.
D. They destroyed her dream of being a teacher.
5. What is the main cause of the desertification of Tunisia’s farmland?
A Low rainfall. B. Soil pollution.
C. Cold weather. D. Forest damage.
6. Why did Toumi set up Acacias for All in Tunisia?
A. To create job opportunities for young people.
B. To help the children obtain a basic education.
C. To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers.
D. To facilitate the protection of their farmland.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Saving Water in Tunisia
B. Planting Trees of Native Species
C. Holding back the Sahara
D. Fighting Poverty in North Africa
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. C

For years, David James, who studies insects at Washington State University, had wanted to examine the migration (遷徙)patterns of West Coast monarch butterflies (黑脈金斑蝶). The route the butterflies travel has been hardly known because the populations are too small to follow. For every 200 monarchs tagged (打標(biāo)簽)by a researcher, only one is usually recovered at the end of its trip, James says, and finding even 200 in the wild to tag is unlikely. Knowing the route is vital to conservation efforts, but James had no way to figure it out- until he got a phone call from Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla.
The prison was looking for new activities to improve the mental health of those serving long-term sentences. So James began working with prisoners to raise monarchs through the whole process of their transformation. The adult insects were then tagged and released from the prison. Over five years, nearly 10, 000 monarchs flew from the facility. Elsewhere in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, researchers released another few thousand.
The tags included email addresses, and soon after the first butterflies took off, James started receiving messages from people who had spotted them. The butterflies, the reports confirmed, wintered in coastal California. Twelve of them landed at Lighthouse Field State Beach in Santa Cruz. Several more headed to Bolinas and Morro Bay.
The work helps researchers identify ideal places to plant milkweed and other vegetation that are important to the life cycle of West Coast monarch butterflies. It also brought out the gentler side of some of the prisoners. “They were very worried that they were going to harm the butterflies, ”James says. Watching the monarch change their form also touched the men. “This butterfly changed, ” James recalls prisoners telling him, “and maybe we can too. ”
8. What was hard for David to do in his study?
A. Gain financial support. B. Hire qualified workers.
C. Build a new laboratory. D. Find enough monarchs.
9. Why are the butterflies tagged before being released?
A. To guarantee their safety.
B. To enable them to fly longer distances.
C. To track their travel routes.
D. To distinguish them from other species.
10. What makes the prisoners feel that they can change?
A. The patience the butterflies showed.
B. The hardship the butterflies underwent.
C. The transformation of the butterflies.
D. The devotion of James to the butterflies.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The impact of the research.
B. The findings of James’ study.
C. The release of the prisoners.
D. The life cycle of the butterflies.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】本文是說明文。文章講述了David James想要研究黑脈金斑蝶的遷徙,但是很難找到足夠可以跟蹤的蝴蝶,華盛頓州立監(jiān)獄的囚犯幫助飼養(yǎng)蝴蝶,然后打上包括郵箱地址的標(biāo)簽放飛, James收到了來自發(fā)現(xiàn)蝴蝶的人們的信息,從而讓研究工作順利進(jìn)行,這項(xiàng)工作幫助研究人員確定了理想的種植馬利筋和其他植被的地方,這些植被對西海岸黑脈金斑蝶蝶的生命周期很重要,也激發(fā)了一些囚犯溫和的一面。
【8題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的“The route the butterflies travel has been hardly known because the populations are too small to follow.

( 這些標(biāo)簽包括電子郵件地址,在第一批蝴蝶起飛后不久,詹姆斯開始收到發(fā)現(xiàn)它們的人發(fā)來的信息。報(bào)道證實(shí),這些蝴蝶在加州沿海過冬。其中12只降落在圣克魯斯的Lighthouse Field State Beach。更多的前往Bolinas和Morro Bay。)”可推斷,在釋放之前給這些蝴蝶打上標(biāo)簽是為了跟蹤它們的旅行路線。故選C。
【10題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的“It also brought out the gentler side of some of the prisoners. ‘They were very worried that they were going to harm the butterflies,’James says.

【11題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據(jù)最后一段的“The work helps researchers identify ideal places to plant milkweed and other vegetation that are important to the life cycle of West Coast monarch butterflies.

We all know that unpleasant feeling when we’re talking about something interesting and halfway through our sentence we’re interrupted. But was that really an interruption? The answer depends on whom you ask, according to new research led by Katherine Hilton from Stanford University.
Using a set of controlled audio clips (錄音片段), Hilton surveyed 5, 000 American English speakers to better understand what affects people’s perceptions of interruptions. She had participants listen to audio clips and then answer questions about whether the speakers seemed to be friendly and engaged, listening to one another, or trying to interrupt.
Hilton found that American English speakers have different conversational styles. She identified two distinct groups: high and low intensity speakers. High intensity speakers are generally uncomfortable with moments of silence in conversation and consider talking at the same time a sign of engagement. Low intensity speakers find it rude to talk at the same time and prefer people speak one after another in conversation.
The differences in conversational styles became evident when participants listened to audio clips in which two people spoke at the same time but were agreeing with each other and stayed on topic, Hilton said. The high intensity group reported that conversations where people spoke at the same time when expressing agreement were not interruptive but engaged and friendlier than the conversations with moments of silence in between speaking turns. In contrast, the low intensity group perceived any amount of simultaneous (同時) chat as a rude interruption, regardless of what the speakers were saying.
“People care about being interrupted, and those small interruptions can have a massive effect on the overall communication,” Hilton said. “Breaking apart what an interruption means is essential if we want to understand how humans interact with each other.”
12. What does Hilton’s research focus on?
A. What interruptions mean to people.
B. Whether interruption is good or not.
C. How to avoid getting interrupted.
D Why speakers interrupt each other.
13. What do participants of the study need to do?
A. Record an audio clip. B. Answer some questions.
C. Listen to one another. D. Have a chat with a friend.
14. What do low intensity speakers think of simultaneous chat?
A. It’s important. B. It’s interesting.
C. It’s inefficient. D. It’s impolite.
15. What can we learn from Hilton’s research?
A. Human interaction is complex.
B. Communication is the basis of life.
C Interruptions promote thinking.
D. Language barriers will always exist.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。研究表明,在談話中被打斷是否會帶來不愉快,因人而異。

主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段第二句“But was that really an interruption? The answer depends on whom you ask, according to new research led by Katherine Hilton from Stanford University.(但這真的是打擾嗎?根據(jù)斯坦福大學(xué)凱瑟琳·希爾頓領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的一項(xiàng)新研究,答案取決于你問誰)”和第四段第二、三句“The high intensity group reported that conversations where people spoke at the same time when expressing agreement were not interruptive but engaged and friendlier than the conversations with moments of silence in between speaking turns. In contrast, the low intensity group perceived any amount of simultaneous chat as a rude interruption, regardless of what the speakers were saying.(高強(qiáng)度組報(bào)告說,人們在表達(dá)同意的同時說話的對話不會被打斷,而是比在說話之間保持沉默的對話更投入、更友好。相比之下,低強(qiáng)度組認(rèn)為任何數(shù)量的同時聊天都是粗魯?shù)拇驍?,不管說話人在說什么)”可知,文章主要說明了“打斷”對不同的人來說,意義不同,即“打斷”對人們意味著什么。故選A項(xiàng)。

【14題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句“Low intensity speakers find it rude to talk at the same time and prefer people speak one after another in conversation.(低強(qiáng)度說話者覺得同時說話很不禮貌,他們更喜歡人們在談話中一個接一個地說話)”可推知,對于低強(qiáng)度聊天者來說,同時聊天是粗魯?shù)?,不禮貌的。故選D項(xiàng)。
【15題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段““People care about being interrupted, and those small interruptions can have a massive effect on the overall communication,” Hilton said. “Breaking apart what an interruption means is essential if we want to understand how humans interact with each other. ”(“人們很在意被打斷,而這些小的干擾會對整體交流產(chǎn)生巨大影響,”希爾頓說?!叭绻覀兿肓私馊祟愔g是如何互動的,就必須分解中斷的含義?!?”可推知,人類的交流是復(fù)雜的。故選A項(xiàng)。

There has been a very serious decline in the numbers of shallow-water fish as a result of overfishing. People still want to eat fish, so the fishing industry must look at other sources, especially the deep waters of the Atlantic. ____16____
Conservation measures will have to be put in place if these deep-sea fish are to survive. Research on five such species shows that numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent. ____17____ Many species could well disappear completely if the present trend continues. These are species that have been swimming in our oceans for hundreds of millions of years.
The problem is emphasized by the fact that the decline in numbers happened in less than twenty years. Deep-sea fish take a long time to reproduce and normally live for many years. ____18____ The average size of such fish also declined, with one species showing a 57 percent decline in average size. This is of particular concern, as large fish tend to produce more offspring than small ones.
____19____ The deep-sea species have been caught as if they were the fast-breeding (快速繁殖) fish like sardine and herring. It is like killing elephants as if they reproduced at the same rate as rabbits.
The damage done by overfishing goes beyond the sea environment. Millions of people make a living in the fishing industry. ____20____ Measures must be taken to not only conserve ecosystems, but also sustain livelihoods and ensure food security.
A. Billions of people rely on fish for protein.
B. Many people now choose not to eat deep-sea fish.
C. Unfortunately, their reproduction rate is very low.
D. This puts them in the category of “critically endangered”.
E. None of these facts has been taken into account by the fishing industry.
F. Overfishing is a major cause of decline in populations of ocean wildlife.
G. This has resulted in a sharp decline in the numbers of many of the species caught.

根據(jù)上文“Research on five such species shows that numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent.”(對五種這樣的物種的研究表明,數(shù)量下降了87%到98%)可知,數(shù)量下降到了一定程度,我們便稱為它們?yōu)椤皹O度瀕?!蔽锓N。故D選項(xiàng)“這使得它們被歸為“極度瀕?!蔽锓N”切題,this指代上文提到的“numbers have declined by between 87 percent and 98 percent.”。故選D項(xiàng)。

根據(jù)上文“Deep-sea fish take a long time to reproduce and normally live for many years.”(深海魚類需要很長時間繁殖,通??梢曰詈芏嗄辏└鶕?jù)下文“The average size of such fish also declined, with one species showing a 57 percent decline in average size. This is of particular concern, as large fish tend to produce more offspring than small ones.”(這些魚的平均尺寸也在下降,其中一個物種的平均尺寸下降了57%。這一點(diǎn)值得特別關(guān)注,因?yàn)榇篝~往往比小魚生育更多的后代)可知,選項(xiàng)承接上下文說明深海魚類的繁殖率非常低。故C選項(xiàng)“不幸的是,它們的繁殖率非常低”切題。故選C項(xiàng)。
【19題詳解】
根據(jù)下文“The deep-sea species have been caught as if they were the fast-breeding (快速繁殖) fish like sardine and herring. It is like killing elephants as if they reproduced at the same rate as rabbits.”(深海魚類被捕獲,仿佛它們是沙丁魚和鯡魚等快速繁殖的魚類。這就像把大象當(dāng)作繁殖速度飛快的兔子殺死一樣)可知,漁業(yè)忽略了一些物種繁殖速度慢的事實(shí)。故E選項(xiàng)“漁業(yè)沒有考慮到這些事實(shí)”故選E項(xiàng)。
【20題詳解】
根據(jù)上文“Millions of people make a living in the fishing industry.”(數(shù)百萬人以漁業(yè)為生)可知,選項(xiàng)與上文為并列關(guān)系,說明漁業(yè)對人的重要作用。故A選項(xiàng)“數(shù)十億人依賴魚類獲取蛋白質(zhì)”切題。故選A項(xiàng)。

【36題詳解】
考查動詞時態(tài)語態(tài)。句意:這筆錢將在四年時間內(nèi)分發(fā),目的是幫助阿瓦達(dá)縣大約1000名無家可歸的人。分析句子可知,distribute和will構(gòu)成謂語動詞,與主語The money是被動關(guān)系,空前有助動詞will,故用一般將來時的被動語態(tài),故填be distributed。
【37題詳解】
考查非謂語動詞。句意:一家機(jī)構(gòu),總部在Woodbridge,預(yù)計(jì)將獲得150萬美元。分析句子可知,“(base) in Woodbridge”作定語,base與One agency是被動關(guān)系,故用過去分詞,故填based。
【38題詳解】
考查不定式。句意同上。be expected to do sth.“被預(yù)計(jì)……”,用不定式作主語補(bǔ)足語,故填to receive。
【39題詳解】

【40題詳解】
考查表語從句。句意:一所“學(xué)校之家”就是它聽起來的樣子。分析句子可知,空處引導(dǎo)表語從句,從句like是介詞,缺少賓語,指物,用從屬連詞what引導(dǎo)表語從句,故填what。
【41題詳解】
考查連詞。句意:我們讓無家可歸的人離開街頭,我們教育他們,這樣他們就不必回到街頭。根據(jù)句意并分析句子可知,空處用連詞連接兩個句子,前后文是順承關(guān)系,故填and。
【42題詳解】
考查冠詞。句意:你不會相信我們已經(jīng)取得的成功。修飾名詞用冠詞,根據(jù)句意此處特指“我們已經(jīng)取得的成功”,故填the。
【43題詳解】
考查動詞時態(tài)和主謂一致。句意:令我們吃驚的是,那個修理工是我們第一批無家可歸的學(xué)生之一。根據(jù)上文的“a couple of weeks ago”可知,此處講述過去發(fā)生的事情,用一般過去時,且主語the repairman是第三人稱單數(shù),謂語動詞用單數(shù),故填was。
【44題詳解】
考查介詞。句意:他免費(fèi)修理了我們的空調(diào)。for free“免費(fèi)地”是固定短語,根據(jù)句意,故填for。
【45題詳解】
考查代詞。句意:我想我也可以自己報(bào)名參加空調(diào)課。分析句子并根據(jù)句意可知,空處與主語指同一人,故用反身代詞作狀語,故填myself。

【答案】This online concert is absolutely fantastic.
The performers from the two schools have done their best in entertaining the audience with one song after another. Their performances are undoubtedly of high quality, which makes the concert almost no different from a live one. I enjoyed every second of the concert and was particularly attracted when the boys and girls from Britain started to sing the traditional Chinese song “Liang Zhu”. They performed the song in a way that touched my heart and gave me a feeling of connection. I hope there will be more opportunities in the future for us Chinese students and our international friends to learn about and from each other.

47. 閱讀下面材料,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段,使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
My husband and I enjoy seeing life through the eyes of our children. It’s amazing to watch as they discover their world.
While we were outdoors last summer enjoying the sunshine, our oldest daughter, Kaytlin, called me to the doorway. Beneath the steps was a baby red squirrel.
We watched it from a distance, not wanting to disturb it or scare off its mother. But after a long wait—and looking all around our house for signs of a nest or a mother—we realized the tiny squirrel was lost.
Shaking terribly, he was weak, thin, and hungry. We tried to find an expert to help, but the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife website showed that there were no wildlife experts in our area. After some quick research, we concluded that the best way to give the squirrel a fighting chance was to care for him ourselves. So a trip to the local store for milk and supplies was in order. More research taught us how much to feed him, how to estimate his age, how and when to wean (斷奶) him, and that we should let him go as soon as he could survive on his own.
Our daughters and I took turns in feeding “Squirt.” Kaytlin took on the most responsibility. She taught him to eat from a bottle, and she woke in the night for his feeds.
To our relief, Squirt soon became healthy and strong. Within a few weeks he became more active. He would chatter (吱吱叫) for his next meal, playfully go around the girls, and lie down on them for sleep. It wasn’t long before he was weaned onto solid food and reintroduced to the wild.
His first few visits to the great outdoors were funny. Just like a child, he would play in the grass some and then run back to Kaytlin for safety. Soon she had him climbing trees and finding nest material.
注意:1. 續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右;
2. 請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
One day in the trees, Squirt met up with a family of gray squirrels.

One night, Squirt didn’t come back to our house and it rained hard.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 One day in the trees, Squirt met up with a family of gray squirrels. But the family was none too happy about his visit. They scolded and swatted at him. At first Squirt was so unhappy that he avoided them. And then he quickly learned some social skills. He would take some snacks to meet them. For several days he played all day in the trees surrounding our house but came down at bedtime.
One night, Squirt didn’t come back to our house and it rained hard. Our girls fretted. They wanted to seek Squirt. We prevented them because it was too dangerous. But when the sun rose the next day, there was Squirt, begging for food. And that remained the pattern for weeks. The experience was entertaining and heartwarming for our family. In the wild and somewhat silly moments of raising an orphaned baby squirrel, our children learned to value and appreciate life.
