第一节(共 15 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 37.5 分)
阅读下列短文,从题中所给的(A、B、C、D)四个选项中,选出最佳答案。
A
My doorbell rings.On the step, I find the elderly Chinese lady, small and slight,
holding the hand of a little boy.In her other hand, she holds a paper carrier bag.
I know this lady.It is not her first visit.She is the boy's grandmother, and
her daughter bought the house next door last October.
Her daughter, Nicole, speaks fluent English.But she is now in Shanghai, and her
parents are here with the little boy.Nicole has obviously told her mother that I
am having heart surgery soon, so her mother has decided I need more nutrients.
I know what is inside the bag—a thermos with hot soup and a stainlesssteel
container with rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp, sometimes with
a kind of pancake.This has become an almostdaily practice.
Communication between us is somewhat affected by the fact that she doesn't speak
English and all I can say in Chinese is hello.Once, she brought an iPad as well as
the food.She pointed to the screen, which displayed a message from her daughter
telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right and whether it
was too salty.I am not used to iPads, so she indicated I should go with her to her
house.Then, she handed the iPad to her husband and almost immediately I found myself
looking at Nicole in Shanghai and discussing her mother's cooking and salt
intake.Instantly, tears welled in my eyes.
“Your mother just can't be bringing me meals like this all the time,” I
insisted.“I can hardly do dishes in return.”
“Oh, no, Lucy.” Nicole said.“Mum doesn't like western food.Don't worry about
it; she has to cook for the three of them anyway, and she wants to do it.”
The doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar brown paper carrier bag,
handed smilingly to me.
I am now working on some more Chinese words—it's the least I can do after such
display of kindness.
“Thank you” is, of course, the first one.Somehow, it seems inadequate.
文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是 Lucy 受到隔壁一个中国家庭的照顾而
非常感动,表达了她对这家人的感激。
21.The elderly Chinese lady visits Lucy regularly because ______.
2
A.Lucy pays her to deliver food
B.Lucy likes cooking Chinese food
C.she cares about Lucy's state of health
D.she wants to make friends with Lucy
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中“Nicole has obviously told her mother that I am
having heart surgery soon, so her mother has decided I need more nutrients.”可
知,Nicole 告诉她的母亲我即将进行心脏手术,所以她的母亲认为我需要更多的营养,从
而可知,她关心露西的健康状况。故选 C。
22.Nicole's mum took an iPad to Lucy's home for ________.
A.displaying B.communicating
C.cooking D.chatting
答案:B
解 析 : 推 理 判 断 题 。 根 据 第 五 段 中 “Communication between us is somewhat
affected ...Once, she brought an iPad as well as the food.She pointed to the screen,
which displayed a message from her daughter...she handed the iPad to her husband ...I
found myself looking at Nicole in Shanghai and discussing...”可知,iPad 屏幕上
显示的是她女儿发来的信息,从而可以推断出带 iPad 是为了彼此语言不同而方便交流,故
选 B。
23.In this passage Lucy mainly expresses her ________.
A.preference for the Chinese food
B.gratitude to the Chinese family
C.love of the advanced technology
D.affection for the Chinese language
答案:B
解析:主旨大意题。根据文章最后“I am now working on some more Chinese words—it's
the least I can do after such a display of kindness.‘Thank you’ is, of course,
the first one.Somehow, it seems inadequate.”可知,Lucy 主要是为了表达对中国这家
人的感激。故选 B。
B
Around the world, there are about 7,000 National Parks.Most of them cover huge
areas of land where nobody lives.However, the National Parks in England include
places where people live and work, as well as wild areas where there are few human
activities.
The National Parks in England are called “England's Breathing Spaces” because
they are places where people can go to be in the open air, away from the dirt and
noise of cities.They provide wonderful scenes of mountains, woods, grasslands and
wetlands.And there are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in
England.Visitors can walk or ride bikes for fun.Many of the parks put on activities
3
for families.
Every year there are about 110 million visitors to the parks, bringing many
benefits to the areas.At the same time, it creates problems too.First, life can be
difficult for local people.Car parks and roads are too crowded.Gift shops and cafes
take the place of many everyday shops.Even house prices in some areas can become
too high.Besides, country roads can be damaged, for too many people walk, cycle or
ride horses on them.Roads can be rebuilt, but then they look less natural.Another
big problem to the National Parks is litter.In the parks it is a danger to wild
animals.Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun.Such fires
in wild places can be out of control.
________? All National Parks in England are making more rules, which tell
people how to take good care of their environment.If these rules are followed, the
National Parks will be well kept and continue to give pleasure to many people for
a very long time.
文章大意:这是一篇说明文。主要说明了英国国家公园可以让人们呼吸新鲜空气,享受
宁静时光而吸引了众多的游客,但是游客数量的增加也给公园带来了一些问题。就此,文章
也说明了人们能够为公园提供帮助的方式。
24.Visitors to the National Parks in England can ________.
A.give food to wild animals
B.drive cars on the grasslands
C.enjoy fresh air and peaceful time
D.have fun farming with local people
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中 However, the National Parks in England include
places where people live and work, as well as wild areas where there are few human
activities.(然而,英国的国家公园包括人们生活和工作的地方,以及人类活动很少的野生
地区。)以及第二段第一句 The National Parks in England are called “England's
Breathing Spaces” because they are places where people can go to be in the open
air, away from the dirt and noise of cities.(英国的国家公园被称为“英国的呼吸空
间”,因为人们可以去那里呼吸新鲜空气,远离城市的灰尘和噪音。)可知去英国国家公园
的游客可以呼吸新鲜空气,享受宁静的时光。故选 C。
25.The third paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A.the problems of the National Parks
B.the pollution caused by visitors
C.the development of the National Parks
D.the benefits brought by visitors
答案:A
解析:段落大意题。根据第三段中 At the same time, it creates problems too.(与
此同时,它也带来了问题。)以及下文说明了具体带来的哪些问题,可知第三段主要告诉我
4
们国家公园存在的问题。故选 A。
26.Which of the following is the best sentence to fill the blank in Paragraph
4?
A.What can people get
B.How can people help
C.What are the National Parks like
D.How are the National Parks set up
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据下文 All National Parks in England are making more rules,
which tell people how to take good care of their environment.If these rules are
followed, the National Parks will be well kept and continue to give pleasure to many
people for a very long time.(英国所有的国家公园都制定了更多的规则,告诉人们如何
保护环境。如果这些规则得到遵守,国家公园将得到很好的保护,并在很长一段时间内继续
给许多人带来乐趣。)可知是在说明有哪些人们能够提供帮助的方式,故 B 选项“人们如何
提供帮助”最适合填补第 4 段的空白句。故选 B。
27.The passage is probably taken from the ________ part of a magazine.
A.transport B.wildlife
C.history D.geography
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中 However, the National Parks in England include
places where people live and work, as well as wild areas where there are few human
activities.(然而,英国的国家公园包括人们生活和工作的地方,以及人类活动很少的野生
地区。)以及文章主要内容为介绍英国的国家公园,故可推测文章可能来自一本杂志的地理
部分。故选 D。
C
In business, there's a speed difference: It's the difference between how
important a firm's leaders say speed is to their competitive strategy and how fast
the company actually moves.The difference is important regardless of industry and
company size.Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time
and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.
In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that chose to go, go, go to try
to gain_an_edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that
paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track.What's more, the
firms that “slowed down to speed up” improved their top and bottom lines, averaging
40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a threeyear period.
How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than
competitors yet performing better? They thought differently about what “slower”
and “faster” mean.Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between
operational speed (moving quickly) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes
5
to deliver value).Simply increasing the speed of production, for example, may be
one way to try to reduce the speed difference.But that often leads to reduced value
over time, in the form of lowerquality products and services.
In our study, higherperforming companies with strategic speed always made
changes when necessary.They became more open to ideas and discussion.They encouraged
new ways of thinking.And they allowed time to look back and learn.By contrast,
performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention
to improving efficiently, stuck to tested methods, didn't develop team spirit among
their employees, and had little time thinking about changes.
Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership.Teams that regularly take time
to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in
meeting their business goals.That kind of strategy must come from the top.
文章大意:本文是一篇议论文,主要阐述了在商业竞争中并不是速度越快越好,相反那
些速度慢的公司会根据情况实时调整战略,往往会取得竞争的优势。
28.What does the underlined part “gain an edge” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Get an advantage. B.Increase the speed.
C.Reach the limit. D.Set a goal.
答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。根据上文 Companies fearful of losing their competitive
advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.(那些
担心失去竞争优势的公司花费了大量的时间和金钱来寻找加快速度的方法。)和下文
中...ended up with lower sales and operating incomes...可知 343 家公司中,那些害
怕丢掉竞争优势的公司会一味地追求速度,试图获得优势,但最终以较低的销售额告终,可
知画线单词意思为“获得优势”,故选 A。
29.What can we learn from the text?
A.How fast a firm moves depends on how big it is.
B.How competitive a firm is depends on what it produces.
C.Firms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes.
D.Firms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段第一句 In our study, higherperforming companies
with strategic speed always made changes when necessary.(在我们的研究中,具有战
略速度的高绩效的公司总是在必要时做出改变。)可知以战略速度为导向的公司会花时间做
出必要的改变。故选 C。
30.According to the author, what is the key to deciding strategic speed?
A.Pausing at key moments.
B.The size of company.
C.The boss.
D.The quality of the products.
6
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。由最后一段中 That kind of strategy must come from the top.(这
种战略必须来自高层。)可知作者认为,决定战略速度的关键是公司的高层。故选 C。
31.Which could be the best title for the text?
A.Improve Quality? Serve Better!
B.Deliver Value? Plough ahead!
C.Reduce Time? Move Faster!
D.Need Speed? Slow Down!
答案:D
解析:主旨大意题。根据文章第三段中 They thought differently about what
“slower” and “faster” mean.Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference
between operational speed (moving quickly) and strategic speed (reducing the time
it takes to deliver value).Simply increasing the speed of production, for example,
may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference.But that often leads to reduced
value over time, in the form of lowerquality products and services.他们对“慢”
和“快”的意思有不同的看法。公司有时不能理解运营速度(快速行动)和战略速度(减少提
供价值所需的时间)之间的区别。例如,简单地提高生产速度可能是一种试图减少速度差异
的方法。但随着时间的推移,这往往会导致产品和服务质量的下降。以及文章主要内容为阐
述了在商业竞争中并不是速度越快越好,相反那些速度慢的公司会根据情况实时调整战略,
往往会取得竞争优势。故 D 项“我们真的需要速度吗?慢点吧!”符合题意。故选 D。
D
The year is 2094.It has been announced that a comet (彗星) is heading towards
the Earth.Most of it will miss our planet, but two pieces will probably hit the
southern half of the Earth.
On 17 July, a piece four kilometers wide enters the Earth's atmosphere with a
massive explosion.About half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits
the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound.The sea boils and a huge hole
is made in the sea bed.Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole.The
wall of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers
an hour.Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people
are drowned.
Before the waves reach South America, the second piece of the comet lands in
Argentina.Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains.The shock
waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean.The cities of Los
Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes.Millions
of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead, but the north won't
7
escape for long.Because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, and
temperatures around the world fall to almost zero.Crops are ruined.The sun won't
be seen again for many years.Wars break out as countries fight for food.A year later,
no more than 10 million people remain alive.
Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the
history of the Earth.The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years.Then
about 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared.Many scientists believe that
the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space.The dinosaurs couldn't live through
the cold climate that followed and they died out.Will we meet the same end?
文章大意:文章主要描述了在 2094 年如果一颗彗星的碎片撞向地球,人类可能面临终
结。
32.What is mainly described in the passage?
A.A historical discovery. B.An event of imagination.
C.A research on space. D.A scientific adventure.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段的时间 2094 以及下文的内容可知,文章描述了人类在
2094 年可能会遭遇的灾难。这些事情只是一种想象而已。
33.When the first piece hits the South Atlantic, it causes ______.
A.an earthquake B.damages to cities
C.an Earth explosion D.huge waves
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Huge waves are created and spread outwards
from the hole.”可知答案。
34.Why can't the northern half of the earth escape for long?
A.Because the land is covered with water.
B.Because the light and heat from the sun can not reach the earth.
C.Because people there can not live at the temperature of zero.
D.Because wars break out among countries.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。文章第三段中提到,南半球的数以百万计的人已经死了,而北半球
也逃脱不了这种厄运。因为太阳照不到地球,地球上的温度几乎降到了零度。庄稼遭到了破
坏,食物缺乏导致战争的爆发。所以,一切的根源在于 B 项所提到的事情。
35.By giving the example of dinosaurs, the author tries to prove ________.
A.animals could not live in the cold climate
B.what happened 65 million years ago was an invented story
C.the human beings will die out in 2094
D.the Earth could be hit by other objects in space
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Could it really happen?”以及“Will we
8
meet the same end?”两个问题的提出可知,作者是想通过举恐龙这一例子说明地球很有
可能再次遭遇撞击。

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
No one could say that Katy Perry is an ordinary artist.Her songs are not just
about sweet love and heartbreaks, __56__ usually have bigger themes.Take the songs
Firework (2010) and Roar(2013) for example, __57__ Perry sings about being our own
master and __58__(discover) our true value.Earlier this year, she __59__(announce)
her new album Witness, together with a new idea for pop music. Perry calls her new
style “purpose pop”, meaning a __60__(society) and political message.It seems
12
that Perry has become tired __61__ simply encouraging people.Now, she wants to
educate them politically as well.The best example of Perry's purposeful pop is
__62__(probable) the song Chained to the Rhythm, in which Perry criticizes the
__63__(behave) that people are unwilling to think more critically (批判地) about
the world.
But when it comes to the concept (概念) of purposeful pop, it is, in fact,
something a lot of pop stars have been doing for a while.For example, Beyonce's 2016
song Formation deals with various problems such as an __64__(argue) between white
policemen and black citizens (公民) in the US, __65__(hope) to create change through
music.
文章大意:本文介绍了艺术家 Katy Perry 创作歌曲的有关理念。
56.but
解析:考查连词。not just...but(also)...固定短语“不仅……而且……”。
57.where
解析:考查定语从句。先行词 the songs 在定语从句中作地点状语,表示“在歌曲里”
用关系副词 where 表示地点。
58.discovering
解析:考查非谓语动词。discovering 和 being our own master 都是作介词 about 的
宾语。
59.announced
解析:考查动词时态。Earlier this year 是一个过去的时间状语,本句用一般过去时,
表示发生在过去的一个事实。
60.social
解析:考查形容词。social 和后面的 political 构成并列形容词一起作名词 message
的定语。
61.of
解析:考查介词。become/be tired of 固定短语,意思是“对……感到厌倦”。
62.probably
解析:考查副词。这里是副词修饰谓语动词 is,表示“可能是”。
63.behavio(u)r
解析:考查名词。the behavio(u)r“行为” 作 criticizes 的宾语。that 后面引导的
定语从句修饰 the behavio(u)r。
64.argument
解析:考查名词。argument “争论”,此空前面的 an 和后面的介词短语 between white
policemen and black citizens (公民) in the US 都是作名词 argument 的定语。
65.hoping
解析:考查非谓语动词。这里的现在分词短语作谓语动词的伴随状语,起着补充说明的
作用。

The day my dad gave me a BB gun was my twelfth birthday, and I almost couldn't
help jumping up and down when I saw what it was.
With a smile, he led me outside and showed me how to shoot—first loading the
gun, pumping it a few times, aiming, and, finally, firing.Before handing the gun
to me, he said seriously, “I don't ever want to see you killing anything.That's
not the reason why I bought you this gun.” I thought he was afraid that I'd learn
what real power felt like.Anyway, it was okay with me because I figured I'd find
many other targets.
“Hey, Mike.” I yelled to my friend upon making one of my greatest
discoveries.“Check this out.” I aimed at the top of the telephone pole.“What're
you doing?” he asked.I fired, and the BB hit the top of the pole, causing a loud
“DING” to ring out.“Cool.” Mike said.I smiled like a king—a smile that grew
even wider when Mike couldn't hit the same target.The good thing was that no matter
how many times you shot those things they never broke.Then again, maybe that's why
it got boring.

A few months later, I found myself walking down the street, gun in hand, searching
for new targets.I stopped by a telephone pole, popping off a few shots with nothing
better to do.Suddenly, a bird swooped (俯冲) down and landed on the wire.It cooed
and walked slowly, completely unaware of my watchful eye.Here I was, a bored kid,
holding a BB gun, and a bird standing right there in front of me—and no one around
to tell my dad.It was so perfect.I figured it was a sign from God.I aimed straight
at the bird, held my breath, and squeezed slowly upon the trigger (扳机).But I
hesitated.I was about to shoot a bird, feeling at one moment uneasy, at another
excited.The exciting part won.I fired.
答案
Paragraph 1:
The bird dropped like a rock, one wing flopping behind as it fell. A surge of
excitement ran through me, as if I were the king.Lowering the BB gun, I came up to
check my target.It was still alive, with only one wing bleeding.“Why not take it
home so that I can play with it?” I picked up the little creature and went home.When
I placed it on the desk, it was struggling to stand up but in vain.At the sight,
I began to feel a little uneasy.With the night falling, I was on pins and needles.
Paragraph 2:
When my dad got home that evening, he asked me how my day was. I was dead
silent.Dad merely rested his hand upon me and waited with a soft look in his
eye.“I...” my voice cracked and I cleared my throat.“I shot a bird.” “Oh?”
he replied, his expression unchanging.“Where is the bird now?” I led him to the
desk.Seeing the bird, dad smoothed its feathers with his gentle fingers and fixed
the broken wing with a bandage.Several days later, the bird was fully
recovered.Seeing it fly away, I realized I should use the real power to protect rather
than hurt lives.
