Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.‎ ‎(A)‎ McCoy was looking for a safe place to do drugs when something clearly out of place caught his eye: a luxurious brown leather handbag.‎ McCoy, 36, could relate all too well. One of his few possessions, the sleeping bag he used in an abandoned house, had recently been stolen. Remembering how angered he’d been by his own loss, he resolved to return the purse to its owner.‎ He began right away, starting with the address on the bill found in the handbag. After traveling much of the day and finally approaching the address on the bill, he was stopped by a woman, who asked whether she could buy the purse. McCoy refused, saying he was searching for its owner. “But I am the owner,” the woman said. “That’s my purse.”‎ A month earlier, Kaitlyn Smith, 29, a sales representative for a medical device company, had woken up to find her apartment broken into and her purse stolen. Now she came across a tall, messy-looking man holding it tightly. She could instantly tell he wasn’t in good shape.‎ At Smith’s urging, McCoy told her his story. He’d been in charge of a landscaping business until 2012, when a car accident left him addicted to drugs.‎ Smith, amazed this stranger had gone to such great lengths to return her bag, asked whether there was anything she could do to help. “I’m a drug addict,” McCoy warned. “I don’t want to intrude on your life; I’m probably gonna let you down.”‎ Unafraid, Smith gave him her phone number, saying, “If you want to go to rehab (戒毒所), call me.” She then drove him back to his neighborhood and left, thinking that would be the end of it. Two days later, she got a call.‎ Smith realized that McCoy was serious about getting better, so she dug into her savings account and bought McCoy a plane ticket to Florida. While there, he would call her to let her know how he was doing. “We were getting to know each other,” Smith says. “His scared, desperate voice turned into a healthy, lively one.” After 28 days at a rehab program at Johns Hopkins Hospital, McCoy is drug-free. He lives at a residential recovery center in Baltimore, and a GoFundMe page set up by Smith has covered his rent, groceries, and incidentals. His life is back on track, all because one crime victim could understand another’s loss.‎ ‎36. What drove McCoy to look for the owner of the handbag?‎ A. The urge to find a business partner. B. The resolution to recover his sleeping bag.‎ C. His own unfortunate experience. D. His anger over the poor living condition.‎ ‎37. What was McCoy’s initial reaction towards Smith’s intention to help?‎ A. Enthusiasm. B. Resistance.‎ C. Hostility. D. Gratitude.‎ ‎38. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. McCoy was a victim of an identity theft.‎ B. Smith offered McCoy a ride home at his request.‎ C. McCoy looked unhealthy when he bumped into Smith.‎ D. Smith covered McCoy’s living expense in the recovery centre.‎ ‎39. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Drug-abuse Can Heal. B. Lost and Found.‎ C.

Remembering how angered he’d been by his own loss, he resolved to return the purse to its owner.”可知，他为数不多的财产之一，他在一所废弃的房子里用的睡袋最近被偷了，他想到丢了睡袋使他多么生气，于是决定把钱包还给钱包的主人，也就是说是他自己不幸的经历驱使麦考伊去寻找手提包的主人，故C项正确。‎ ‎【37题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第六段“Smith, amazed this stranger had gone to such great lengths to return her bag, asked whether there was anything she could do to help. “I’m a drug addict,” McCoy warned. “I don’t want to intrude on your life; I’m probably gonna let you down.”可知，史密斯惊奇地发现这个陌生人不遗余力地把包还给她，问她是否有什么可以帮忙的，“我是个瘾君子，”麦考伊警告说，“我不想打扰你的生活，我可能会让你失望的，”，由此可知，对于史密斯的想要帮忙的意图，麦考伊最初的反应是抵抗，故B项正确。‎ ‎【38题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“She could instantly tell he wasn’t in good shape.”可知，她一眼就能看出他（麦考伊）身体不好，由此可知，撞见史密斯时，麦考伊看上去很不健康，故C项正确。‎ ‎【39题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据文章最后一句话“His life is back on track, all because one crime victim could understand another’s loss.”可知，本文主要讲述了瘾君子麦考伊把捡到手提包归还给失主史密斯女士，而她后来又帮助麦考伊成功戒毒，这一切正是源于麦考伊的善行，故D项（善行得到回报）适合做文章标题。‎ ‎【点睛】文章标题形式的主旨大意题难度较大，要有高度的概括性，因此抓住文章主题是关键，例如本篇第4题，通读全文，特别是根据文章最后一句话 “His life is back on track, all because one crime victim could understand another’s loss.”可知，本文主要讲述了瘾君子麦考伊把捡到的手提包归还给失主史密斯女士，而她后来又帮助麦考伊成功戒毒，这一切正是源于麦考伊的善行，故D项（善行得到回报）适合做文章标题。‎ ‎(B)‎ Growing Green Thumbs Callie’s Kids by Calloway Nursery Denton, 940/591-8865;‎ Flower Mound, 972/691-2650;‎ Lewisville, 972/315-3133.‎ www.mytexasgarden.com LEARN: Kids ages 5-12 can explore and plant in the Calloway gardens with a parent/caregiver’s supervision at 9:30 am on the first or third Wednesdays from June to August.

Unfortunately, this seems to place severe limitations on the kind of experience offered to visitors.‎ One limitation is related to the way the museum presents its exhibits. Art museums are often called “treasure houses”. We are reminded of this even before we view a collection by the presence of security guards who keep us away from the exhibits. In addition, a major collection like that of London’s National Gallery is housed in numerous rooms, where a single piece of work is likely to be worth more than all the average visitor possesses. In a society that judges the personal status of the individual so much by their material worth, it is therefore difficult not to be impressed by one’s own relative “worthlessness” in such an environment.‎ Furthermore, consideration of the “value” of the original work in its treasure house setting impresses upon the viewer that since these works were originally produced, they have been assigned a huge value in terms of money by some person or institution more powerful than themselves. Evidently, nothing the viewer thinks about the work is going to alter that value, and so today’s viewer is discouraged from trying to extend that spontaneous, immediate, self-reliant kind of interpretation which would originally have met the work.‎ The visitor may then be struck by the strangeness of seeing such a variety of paintings, drawings and sculptures brought together in an environment for which they were not originally created. This “displacement effect” is further heightened by the huge volume of exhibits. In the case of a major collection, there are probably more works on display than we could realistically view in weeks or even months.‎ This is particularly distressing because time seems to be a vital factor in the appreciation of all art forms. A fundamental difference between paintings and other art forms is that there is no prescribed time over which a painting is viewed. Operas, novels and poems are read in a prescribed time sequence, whereas a picture has no ‎ clear place at which to start viewing, or at which to finish. Thus art works themselves encourage us to view them superficially, without appreciating the richness of detail and labor that is involved.‎ Consequently, the dominant critical approach becomes that of the art historian, a specialized academic approach devoted to “discovering the meaning” of art within the cultural context of its time. This is in harmony with the museum’s function, since the approach is dedicated to seeking out and conserving “authentic”, “original” readings of the exhibits.‎ ‎43. The writer mentions London’s National Gallery to illustrate ______.‎ A. the undesirable cost to a nation of maintaining a huge collection of art B. the conflict that may arise in society between financial and artistic values C. the negative effect a museum can have on visitors’ opinion of themselves D. the need to put individual well-being above large-scale artistic schemes ‎44. The writer says that today viewers may be unwilling to criticize a work because they ______.‎ A. lack the knowledge needed B. fear it may have financial implications C. have no real concept of the work’s value D feel their personal reaction is of no significance ‎45. The writer says that unlike other forms of art, the appreciation of a painting does not ______.‎ A. involve direct contact with an audience B. require a specific location for performance C. need the involvement of other professionals D. call for a specific beginning or ending ‎46. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?‎ A. Original work: killer of artistic appreciation B. Original work: reduction to value of art works C. Original work: substitute for reproduction D. Original work: art historians’ bread and butter ‎【答案】43. C 44. D 45. D 46. A ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了博物馆一直强调的艺术作品的原作实际上限制了人们对艺术作品的欣赏。‎ ‎【43题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In a society that judges the personal status of the individual so much by their material worth, it is therefore difficult not to be impressed by one’s own relative “worthlessness” in such an environment.”可知，在一个以物质价值来衡量个人地位的社会里，这种做法让人们很难不对自己的价值留下深刻印象，由此可知，作者提到伦敦国家美术馆是为了说明一个博物馆对游客自我评价的负面影响，故C项正确。‎ ‎【44题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Evidently, nothing the viewer thinks about the work is going to alter that value, and so today’s viewer is discouraged from trying to extend that spontaneous, immediate, self-reliant kind of interpretation which would originally have met the work.”可知，显然，观看者对作品的任何思考都不会改变这种价值，因此，今天的观看者不愿尝试去扩展那种自发的、直接的、自力更生的解释，而这种解释本来是可以满足作品的，由此可知，作者说今天的观众可能不愿意批评一部作品，是因为他们觉得自己的个人反应无关紧要，故D项正确。‎ ‎【45题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“A fundamental difference between paintings and other art forms is that there is no prescribed time over which a painting is viewed. Operas, novels and poems are read in a prescribed time sequence, whereas a picture has no clear place at which to start viewing, or at which to finish.”可知，绘画和其他艺术形式的一个根本区别是，没有规定的时间来观看，歌剧、小说和诗歌是按规定的时间顺序阅读的，而绘画没有明确的开始观看或结束的地点，由此可知，与其他艺术形式不同，欣赏绘画并不需要一个特定的开始或结束，故D项正确。‎ ‎【46题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段中的“museums continue to promote the special ‎ status of original work and highlight the authenticity (真实) of its exhibits. Unfortunately, this seems to place severe limitations on the kind of experience offered to visitors.”可知，博物馆仍在继续宣传艺术作品原作的特殊地位，并强调其展品的真实性，不幸的是，这似乎严重限制了游客的体验，也就是说本文主要介绍的是艺术作品的原作实际上限制了人们对艺术作品的欣赏，故A项（原作：艺术欣赏的杀手）适合做文章标题。‎ Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.‎ Vitamin D3 Improve Heart Function A daily dose of vitamin D3 improves heart function in people with heart failure, a five-year University of Leeds research project has found.‎ Dr. Klaus Witte, from the School of Medicine and Consultant Cardiologist at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, led the study. He said: “This is a significant breakthrough for patients. It is the first evidence that vitamin D3 can improve heart function of people with heart muscle weakness –known as heart failure.” ___47___‎ Vitamin D3 can be boosted by exposure to sunlight, but heart failure patients are often deficient in it even during the summer because older people make less vitamin D3 in response to sunlight than younger people. Vitamin D3 production in the skin is also reduced by sunscreen.‎ The study, which was funded by the Medical Research Council, involved more than 160 patients from Leeds who were already being treated for their heart failure using proven treatments including beta — blockers, ACE-inhibitors and pacemakers. ___48___ Those patients who took vitamin D3 experienced an improvement in heart function which was not seen in those who took a placebo.‎ ‎___49___ Heart specialists measure heart function by taking an ultrasound scan of the heart and measuring how much blood pumps from the heart with each heartbeat, known as ejection fraction. The ejection fraction of a healthy person is usually between 60% and 70%. In heart failure patients, the ejection fraction is often significantly impaired — in the patients enrolled into the study the average ejection ‎ fraction was 26%.‎ In the 80 patients who took Vitamin D3, the heart’s pumping function improved from 26% to 34%. ___50___ This means that for some heart disease patients, taking vitamin D3 regularly may lessen the need for them to be fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), a device which detects dangerous irregular heart rhythms and can shock the heart to restore a normal rhythm.‎ A. Heart failure can by all means be cured by Vitamin D3.‎ B. Changes in heart function were measured by ultrasound.‎ C. In the others, who took placebo, there was no change in cardiac function.‎ D. Participants were asked to take vitamin D3 or a placebo tablet for one year.‎ E. Sunscreen will prevent people from absorbing more Vitamin D3 to a great extent.‎ F. The finding could make a significant difference to the care of heart failure patients.‎ ‎【答案】47. F 48. D 49. B 50. C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了研究发现维生素D3有助于改善心脏功能。‎ ‎【47题详解】‎ 空前说他说：“这对病人来说是一个重大突破，这是维生素D3能改善心肌衰弱（即心力衰竭）患者心脏功能的第一个证据，此处承接上文，介绍是这个发现对心力衰竭患者的意义，‎ 故F项（这一发现可能对心力衰竭患者的护理产生重大影响）符合语境。‎ ‎【48题详解】‎ 空后说服用维生素D3的患者心脏功能改善，而服用安慰剂的患者心脏功能没有改善，因此此处应该是说参与者被要求分别服用这两种药物，故D项（参与者被要求服用维生素D3或安慰剂一年）符合语境。‎ ‎【49题详解】‎ 空后说心脏专家通过对心脏进行超声波扫描，测量每一次心跳时心脏的血泵数量，即射血分数来测量心脏功能，因此此处是说用超声检测心脏功能的变化，故B项（超声检测心脏功能变化）符合语境。‎ ‎【50题详解】‎ 上文说参与者被要求分别服用维生素D3和安慰剂，空前又提到在80例服用维生素D3的患者中，心脏的泵血功能从26%提高到34%，因此此处会提到服用安慰剂的患者的心脏功能的变化情况，故C项（在其他服用安慰剂的患者中，心脏功能没有变化）符合语境。‎ ‎【点睛】在六选四的解题过程中，空处下文起举例说明或解释说明的句子往往是重要线索，例如本篇第2题，根据空后的“Those patients who took vitamin D3 experienced an improvement in heart function which was not seen in those who took a placebo.”可知，服用维生素D3的患者心脏功能改善，而服用安慰剂的患者心脏功能没有改善，这表明，在研究中，参与者被要求分别服用这两种药物，故D项（参与者被要求服用维生素D3或安慰剂一年）符合语境。‎ IV. Summary Writing ‎51.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.‎ Social media and teens’ anxiety From cyber-bullying to cruel comments, social media can be a land mine for kids. Issues parents never worried about are now a risk for many teens. With kids’ digital well-being a concern, researchers are exploring potential links between social media and the rise in teen suicide rates, tech addiction, and loss of real-life social skills. Many parents are wondering: Is social media causing my kid to have anxiety?‎ It’s a question that worried parents. Some research has observed a relationship between social media use and anxiety in kids, but it’s difficult to know if and when social media causes anxiety or whether kids who are anxious turn to social media as a way to seek support. How kids use social media matters, too. Social comparison and feedback-seeking behaviors have been associated with depressive symptoms, which often co-occur with anxiety.‎ How can parents keep social media a positive for kids?‎ ‎1. Seeing photos of a trip to the beach your friends didn’t invite you to can really be upsetting. If your kid is tired of digital drama, suggest they take a break from social media for a while. In fact, if they post a status update that they’re taking a break, their friends might be very accepting because they’ve had similar feelings.‎ ‎2. People post stuff that makes their lives look perfect — not the homework struggles, or the fight they had with their dad. Remind kids that social media leaves the messy stuff out — and that everyone has ups and downs.‎ ‎3. In a world where kids could spend their days lying around looking at Wechat, it’s doubly important for them to feel as though they’re cultivating their inner lives. Prompt them to balance social media with soul-nourishing activities such as hobbies, exercise, reading, and helping others. Otherwise, what are they going to show off about on social media?‎ ‎【答案】Whether social media causes anxiety has become the focus of parents concerned with their kids’ digital health. Tips are offered on positive effects of social media on children. They can keep off social medial temporarily if bored with it. They should be aware that life is imperfect and face barriers bravely. Besides, taking some meaningful offline activities are strongly recommended.

When making self-introductions, you don’t need to present/cover all the aspects/details about yourself; instead, you should highlight/underline/emphasize/stress what distinguishes you from others.‎ ‎【解析】‎ 本题考查翻译句子，注意使用括号内的提示词进行翻译。‎ ‎【52题详解】‎ 考查感叹句。根据句意可知本句使用感叹句，其基本形式有两种，即“what+a(n)+形容词+可数名词单数+主语+谓语/what +形容词+不可数名词+主语+谓语”或“how+形容词/副词+主语+谓语”，语境表明事情发生在过去，用一般过去时，故翻译为：How wonderful/terrific the students’ performance at the opening ceremony of the Art Festival was!// What wonderful/terrific performance the students put on/presented/gave at the opening ceremony of the Art Festival!‎ ‎【53题详解】‎ 考查地点状语从句/虚拟语气。remind sb to do sth表示“提醒某人做某事”，语境表明事情发生在过去，应该用一般过去时，也可用remind that…，但注意remind后的宾语从句要用(should)‎ ‎ do的虚拟语气，根据句意可知本句使用where引导地点状语从句，表示“在/到……的地方”，故翻译为：The librarian reminded the freshmen to put the magazines where they were/belonged/lay after finishing reading them. // The librarian reminded the freshmen that they should put the magazines where they were/belonged/lay after finishing reading them.‎ ‎【54题详解】‎ 考查倒装。Only+状语（从句）位于句首时，要采用部分倒装，如果句子为主从复合句，则主句倒装，从句不到装，故翻译为： Only when we can endure loneliness and challenge ourselves constantly can we better prepare for the future. // Only by enduring loneliness and challenging ourselves constantly can we better prepare for the future. (can we be better prepared/can we better prepare ourselves)‎ ‎【55题详解】‎ 考查状语从句的省略和宾语从句。distinguish A from B表示“把A和B区分开来”，根据句意可知本句使用when引导时间状语从句，而且从句主语与主句主语一致且含有be的某种形式，因此可省略从句的主语和be，you和make之间是主动关系，从句相当于省略了you are，同时“突出”后使用宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，应该用what引导，故翻译为：When making self-introductions, you don’t need to present/cover all the aspects/details about yourself; instead, you should highlight/underline/emphasize/stress what distinguishes you from others.‎ VI.
