But for Andrew, a herder at a farm in Zimbabwe, it's not a problem. Once he spots Toro, he knows the rest of the herd is nearby. That’s because Toro isn’t an ordinary member of the herd. He's a giraffe. In hot weather, cattle rest in the shade under his belly. And because of his height, Toro can spot lions long before they come close to the herd.‎ Toro's unusual situation came about after his mother was killed by lions. Toro survived the attack, but he was left with no one to protect him or give him milk. About two days later, some herders spotted and rescued him. With the permission of the Department of Wildlife, the herders moved Toro to Andrew's farm. Since giraffes and cattle are both plant-eating animals that live in groups, their behaviors are much the same. Toro was accepted into the herd and wandered among the cattle as they ate grass.‎ Toro doesn't always behave like the other members of his new herd. Like many kinds of animals, cattle compete for dominance (支配). Standing more than 13 feet tall, Toro is more than three times taller than the biggest bull, But Toro never tries to be ''the boss. ''He is very used to their company, '' Andrew said. When the herd enters the kraal (家畜栏), the cows and bulls push each other. ''But thanks to his height, Toro does not need to join the mess, '' said Andrew.‎ When asked if Toro would ever be returned to the wild, Munetsi, an officer of the Department of Wildlife said no. ''In the wild, he would find it difficult to be accepted into another herd or defend himself from predators (猎食者),'' he added. ''He seems very much at home and is respected by the cattle.''‎ ‎21.

He will continue to live together with Andrew.‎ D. He will be trained to fight with the big animals.‎ ‎24. What may be the best title for the text?‎ A. Giraffes under threat in the wild B. A surprising new family for a giraffe C. A new way of herding appearing in Africa D. Moments showing friendship between animals ‎【答案】21. A 22. B 23. C 24. B ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一头长颈鹿和牛群一起生活在Andrew农场的故事。‎ ‎【21题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段的Toro survived the attack, but he was left with no one to protect him or give him milk.可知，当放牧人发现Toro时，它是独自一个，没有人保护它或者给它食物。A. He was left alone.(它被独自留下了)符合以上说法，故选A项。‎ ‎【22题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段的Since giraffes and cattle are both plant-eating animals that live in groups, their behaviors are much the same. Toro was accepted into the herd and wandered among the cattle as they ate grass. (因为长颈鹿和牛都是食草群居动物，它们的行为习惯很相似。Toro被牛群接受了，每天牛吃草时它就和它们一起)可知，Toro和牛群相处的很好。B. He gets along well with the herd.(它和牛群相处得好)符合以上说法，故选B项。‎ ‎【23题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段的''In the wild, he would find it difficult to be accepted into another herd or defend himself from predators (猎食者), '' he added. ''He seems very much at home and is respected by the cattle. '' (在野外，它很难被其它长颈鹿群接受，或者不能抵御猎食者，它在这里感觉很舒服，而且牛群也尊敬它)可推测，Toro将会继续和Andrew一起生活。C. He will continue to live together with Andrew.(他将继续和Andrew生活)符合以上推测，故选C项。‎ ‎【24题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其是第二段的With the permission of the Department of Wildlife, the herders moved Toro to Andrew's farm. Since giraffes and cattle are both plant-eating ‎ animals that live in groups, their behaviors are much the same. Toro was accepted into the herd and wandered among the cattle as they ate grass. (在野生动物部门的同意下，这些放牧人把Toro带到了Andrew的家里。因为长颈鹿和牛都是食草群居动物，它们的行为习惯很相似。Toro被牛群接受了，每天牛吃草时它就和它们一起)可知，本文主要讲述了一头长颈鹿来到放牧人的家里，和牛群生活在一起的故事。B.

She wanted to learn Chinese, as she believed that it would help her land a good job.‎ She has just completed the hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) 3 exam. HSK is a test of Chinese language level for non-native speakers, organized by the Confucius Institute Headquarters.‎ However, this level isn’t enough for Wanjiku, who plans to pass HSK 6. She wanted to increase her level of Chinese and improve her spoken Chinese. And Wanjiku isn’t alone. The number of people taking the HSK reached 6.8 million in 2018 and went up 4.6 percent from a year earlier, the Ministry of Education said on May 31.‎ Chinese is becoming an increasingly popular choice of language to study around the world. Currently, middle school students in Russia can take Chinese as an elective language test in the country’s national college entrance exam, Sputnik News reported.‎ In May, Zambia became the fourth country in Africa-after Kenya, Uganda and South Africa—to introduce Chinese language to its schools.‎ And many English-speaking countries have shown an interest in allowing their students to learn Chinese. The US government announced the launch of “1 Million Strong” in 2015, a plan that aims to bring the total number of learners of Chinese to l million by 2020.‎ Behind the growing popularity of Chinese language learning is the international community’s positive attitude toward Chinas future development, as well as the people’s longing to learn about Chinese civilization and culture.‎ Indeed, it’s as the former president of South Africa Nelson Mandela put it, “if you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.”‎ ‎25. What did Wanjiku do after graduating from university?‎ A. She went abroad. B. She learned Chinese.‎ C. She found a job. D. She travelled to China.‎ ‎26. HSK is a test for ______.‎ A. non-native speakers B. native speakers C. middle school students D. college students ‎27. What does the underlined sentence mean?‎ A.

Currently, middle school students in Russia can take Chinese as an elective language test in the country’s national college entrance exam, Sputnik News reported.“中文正成为世界各地越来越受欢迎的语言学习选择。据俄罗斯卫星新闻报道，目前，俄罗斯的中学生可以在全国大学入学考试中选修中文。”由此可知，中文学习正在腾飞。故选A。‎ C Australia and New Zealand’s health organizations have given their advice on when to use sunscreen (防晒霜), suggesting Australians apply it every day to avoid bad health effects.‎ A Sunscreen Summit took place in the Australian State of Queensland. During the summit representatives from some of Australia’s leading research, medical and public health organizations examined the evidence on sunscreen use and determined that in most parts of the country it is beneficial to apply sunscreen every day.‎ ‎“Up until now, public health organizations have recommended applying sunscreen ahead of planned outdoor activities but haven t recommended applying it every day as part of a morning routine (惯例),” professor Rachel Neale from QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute said. “In recent years, it has become clear that the DNA damage causes skin cancer and melanoma(黑色素瘤), which is caused by repeated small exposure to sunlight over a period of time,” Neale said. “In Australia, we get a lot of sun exposure from everyday activities such as alking to the bus stop or train station,” Neale said.‎ A study showed that one in two Australians believed it was unhealthy and potentially dangerous to use sunscreen every day. However, Terry Slevin from the Public Health Association of Australia says it is wrong. “There is consistent and compelling evidence that sunscreens are safe,” Slevin said. “Importantly, medical trials have found that people who use sunscreen daily have the same levels of vitamin d as those who don’t,” Slevin added.‎ Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world which is made worse by the country’s close to Antarctica where there is a hole in the ozone layer (臭氧层), letting in higher ‎ numbers of UV rays.‎ ‎29. What made Australian health organizations advise Australians to use sunscreen?‎ A. The makers of sunscreen.‎ B. Australian government.‎ C. The Sunscreen Summit.‎ D. New Zealand’s researchers.‎ ‎30. What is not recommended before the Sunscreen Summit?‎ A. Using sunscreen before outdoor activities.‎ B Using sunscreen as a morning routine.‎ C. Reducing the use of sunscreen.‎ D. Reducing outdoor activities.‎ ‎31. What is the misunderstanding of many Australians?‎ A. People using sunscreen won’t have skin cancer.‎ B. Sunscreen will never take effect.‎ C. People using sunscreen have the same levels of vitamin D. D. Sunscreen is bad for people’s health.‎ ‎32. Which of the following best explains “compelling” underlined in paragraph 4?‎ A. Interesting. B. Disappointing.‎ C. Boring. D. Convincing.‎ ‎【答案】29. C 30. B 31. D 32. D ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍防护霜使用。澳大利亚和新西兰的健康组织给出了何时使用防晒霜的建议，建议澳大利亚人每天涂抹防晒霜，以避免对健康造成不良影响。‎ ‎【29题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段A Sunscreen Summit took place in the Australian State of Queensland. During the summit, representatives from some of Australia’s leading research, medical and public health organizations examined the evidence on sunscreen use and determined that in most parts of the country it is beneficial to apply sunscreen every day.“一场防晒霜峰会发生在澳大利亚昆士兰州。在峰会期间,来自澳大利亚一些领先研究的代表,‎ 医疗和公共卫生组织研究了防晒霜使用的证据,并确定在大多数地区,每天涂防晒霜是有益的。”由此可知，防晒峰会促使澳大利亚健康组织建议澳大利亚人使用防晒霜。故选C。‎ ‎【30题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段中but haven t recommended applying it every day as part of a morning routine“但我不建议你每天早上都使用它”可知，“早上要使用防晒霜”在防晒霜峰会前不推荐。故选B。‎ ‎【31题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第四段中A study showed that one in two Australians believed it was unhealthy and potentially dangerous to use sunscreen every day. However, Terry Slevin from the Public Health Association of Australia says it is wrong.“一项研究表明，两分之一的澳大利亚人认为每天使用防晒霜是不健康的，而且有潜在的危险。然而，澳大利亚公共卫生协会的Terry Slevin说这是错误的。”由此可知，很多澳大利亚人认为防晒霜对人们的健康有害。故选D。‎ ‎【32题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据划线词前后的内容consistent “一致的”和evidence that sunscreens are safe“防晒霜是安全的证据”以及划线句的下句“Importantly, medical trials have found that people who use sunscreen daily have the same levels of vitamin d as those who don’t,” “重要的是，医学试验发现，每天使用防晒霜的人和不使用防晒霜的人体内的维生素d含量是一样的。”由此推知，划线词的意思是“令人信服的”。故选D。‎ ‎【点睛】做词义猜测题时要特别注意熟词生义，切不可脱离语境想当然。在句子或段落中，我们可以利用熟悉的词语，根据语言环境所表示的关系推断生词词义。尤其注意划线词前后的内容。本题第4小题，根据划线词前后的内容consistent “一致的”和evidence that sunscreens are safe“防晒霜是安全的证据”以及划线句的下句“Importantly, medical trials have found that people who use sunscreen daily have the same levels of vitamin d as those who don’t,” “重要的是，医学试验发现，每天使用防晒霜的人和不使用防晒霜的人体内的维生素d含量是一样的。”由此推知，划线词的意思是“令人信服的”。故选D。‎ D Scientists blame greenhouse gases for being a major cause of climate change around the world. This is because greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere and make the planet warmer.‎ Now, a team of researchers has announced a successful experiment that turned carbon dioxide into useful liquid fuel. The researchers created a device, called a reactor, which changes bon dioxide ‎ into a pure form of formic acid(甲酸). Formic acid is a substance (物质) found in ants and some other insects, as well as in many plants. It is used as an antibacterial material and in the processing of some kinds of clothing.‎ Haotian Wang led the research team. He said in a statement that the results of the experiment were important because formic acid is a major carrier of energy. So, the substance can provide a way to reuse carbon dioxide and prevent it from being released into the atmosphere. “It’s a fuel-cell fuel that can generate electricity and send out carbon dioxide which you can grab and recycle again,” Wang said.‎ ‎“Other methods for turning carbon dioxide into formic acid require intense purification processes,” Wang said. Such methods are very costly and require a lot of energy. The Rice University team said it was able to reduce the number of steps in the traditional process to create a low-cost, energy-saving method.‎ The researchers reported the reactor device performed with a conversion rate (转化率) of 42 percent. This means that nearly half of the electrical energy can be stored in formic acid as liquid fuel. The team said the reactor was able to create formic acid continuously for 100 hours with little degradation (退化) of the device’s parts.‎ Wang said the reactor could easily be used to produce other high-value products, including alcohol-based fuels. The researchers noted that the technology could also be a big help in solving another major energy problem—how to store large amounts of power in small places.‎ ‎33. What factor is the main cause of climate change?‎ A. Greenhouse gases. B. Chemistry waste.‎ C. Formic acid. D. Liquid fuel.‎ ‎34. What do we know about formic acid?‎ A. It is a large amount of power. B. It can be found in ants.‎ C. It is high- value equipment. D. It is a substance in clothing.‎ ‎35. What is Wang’s attitude towards his own research?‎ A. Doubtful. B. Aggressive.‎ C. Optimistic. D. Uncaring.‎ ‎36. In what magazine can you read this text?‎ A. A travel magazine. B. A sports magazine.‎ C. A music magazine. D. A science magazine.‎ ‎【答案】33. A 34. B 35. C 36. D ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。科学家指责温室气体是全球气候变化的主要原因。文章介绍了一组研究人员宣布的一项成功的实验，这个实验将二氧化碳转化为有用的液体燃料。‎ ‎【33题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句Scientists blame greenhouse gases for being a major cause of climate change around the world.“科学家指责温室气体是全球气候变化的主要原因。”由此可知，“温室气体”是气候变化的主要原因。故选A。‎ ‎【34题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段中Formic acid is a substance (物质) found in ants and some other insects, as well as in many plants.“蚁酸是一种存在于蚂蚁和其他昆虫以及许多植物中的物质。”由此可知，蚁酸可以在蚂蚁身上找到。故选B。‎ ‎【35题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句Wang said the reactor could easily be used to produce other high-value products, including alcohol-based fuels.“王说，该反应堆可以很容易地用于生产其他高价值产品，包括酒精燃料。”由此可知，王对自己的研究持“乐观的”态度。故选C。‎ ‎【36题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段中The researchers noted that the technology could also be a big help in solving another major energy problem—how to store large amounts of power in small places.“研究人员指出，这项技术还可以帮助解决另一个主要的能源问题——如何在小地方储存大量电力。”由此可知，这是科学研究，这样的文章不可能在旅游杂志、体育杂志和音乐杂志上读到，所以最有可能在“科学杂志”上读到。故选D。‎ ‎【点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer,suggest,imply,conclude indicate等标志性词语。本题第3小题，根据最后一段第一句Wang said the reactor could easily be used to produce other high-value products, including alcohol-based ‎ fuels.“王说，该反应堆可以很容易地用于生产其他高价值产品，包括酒精燃料。”由此可知，王对自己的研究持“乐观的”态度。故选C。‎ E The 2016 Rio Olympic Games have come to an end. Without doubt, many Chinese sports fans sat in front of the TV and cheered our athletes on, hoping that they would get as many gold medals as possible.‎ But sometimes our desire for gold medals can result in the sadness of failure.

She sat me down and waited for my dad and brothers to come to join us. Then, our parents told us the worst news imaginable-- my dad had been diagnosed with Stage III Colon Cancer(结肠癌).‎ The news hit hard of course. However, in my head, my dad was a superman. As his daughter, I knew that cancer wasn’t going to beat him. I just went out and swam.‎ As weeks went on, life didn’t change much within our house. My mom still went to work; my brothers and I still went to school; and my dad still worked while also meeting his doctor. However, I didn’t realized how much this new diagnosis was going to change my life.‎ As treatment progressed with my dad’s cancer, I couldn’t depend on him for things he usually did. And with my brothers being away at college, I had to take on a lot more responsibility. But that was not the hardest part of this new journey. It was the fear. The fear that I could lose my Dad. The fear that I could get a call saying that he was in bad condition. The fear that I could never talk to him again. Yet with all these fears, there was never a doubt in my mind that my dad would beat this cancer. He was a superman.‎ The day of my dad’s surgery finally came. It was Father’s Day and I had my soccer game that day. I won my battle on the field and my dad won his in the hospital.‎ May 2013, my dad was completely cancer free. Though this journey proved to be a few of the hardest years of my life, it also proved to me how wonderful my dad really is.‎ ‎58. What happened to the author’s family in June 2011?

Open.‎ ‎【解析】‎ 本文为记叙文。作者介绍了自己家里发生的改变。作者的爸爸被诊断患有癌症，虽然这个消息对作者一家是个沉重的打击，但爸爸却像个超人一样，边工作边治病，最后战胜了癌症。‎ ‎【58题详解】‎ 细节理解题。第一段“In June 2011... I remember the day like it was yesterday.... -- my dad had been diagnosed with Stage III Colon Cancer.” 2011年6月我记忆犹新——我父亲被诊断出患有第三期结肠癌。由此可知，她的父亲被诊断出患有第三期结肠癌，时间是2011年。故本题的答案为Her father developed a serious disease./ Her father was diagnosed with serious Colon Cancer。‎ ‎【59题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段“The news hit hard of course. However, in my head, my dad was a superman. As his daughter, I knew that cancer wasn’t going to beat him. I just went out and swam.”和第三段“As weeks went on, life didn’t change much within our house. My mom still went to work; my brothers and I still went to school” 可知，当然，这条消息对我们打击很大。然而，在我的脑海里，我的父亲是一个超人。作为他的女儿，我知道癌症不会打败他。几个星期过去了，我们家里的生活并没有多大变化。我妈妈仍然去上班;‎ 我和我的兄弟们还在上学。由此可知，作者认为父亲是个不会被打败的超人。作者的生活没有多大变化，和平常一样。故答案为She lived as usual。‎ ‎【60题详解】‎ 猜测词意题。根据第二段“my dad still worked while also meeting his doctor”爸爸边工作边看病；以及第 五段划线词所在句子The day of my dad’s surgery finally came.后的“It was Father’s Day and I had my soccer game that day. I won my battle on the field and my dad won his in the hospital.”那天是父亲节，我有一场足球赛。我在战场上赢了，我爸爸在医院里赢了。以及最后一段的第一句“May 2013, my dad was completely cancer free” 2013年5月，我父亲完全没有了癌症（即手术让爸爸从癌症中康复）。由此可推断出，作者的爸爸手术（surgery）的时间到了。故第六段划线词“surgery”的意思为Operation。‎ ‎【61题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据最后一段“May 2013, my dad was completely cancer free.”可知，2013年5月，我父亲完全没有了癌症。即从癌症中完全康复。故本题的答案为In May 2013.‎ ‎【62题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据自己对父亲的观察以及平时的了解。先对自己作一个总的概括，再举例说明即可。My father is a caring engineer, ready to help others.
