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) Leftover again? Hurray Here’s the deal: You’re as hungry as a horse and you want a delicious meal from a fine restaurant, but you’re a little low on funds. So what do you do? If you happen to live in Europe, the answer is as easy as pie: You pull out your smartphone or tablet, and tap Too Good To Go, Europe’s most popular app. Approximately 23,000 restaurants and food sellers post their leftover offerings on the app for half their usual cost. Why all this incredible generosity? Unbelievably, one-third of the world’s food is thrown away, and nearly one billion people don’t have enough to eat. Besides, burning wasted food releases harmful carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, which contributes to climate change. That’s why environment-minded companies around the world are creating apps for phones, tablets, and other smart devices that connect uneaten food with people who want or need it. After a long day at work, Anne, a 34-year-old student, pulls out her smartphone and chooses a noodle dish—pasta with mushrooms. Then she heads to a restaurant on the banks of the Spree River, where the owner packs her dinner and also offers her a scoop of free ice cream, which is a reward for bringing her own container. Indeed, there are many programs serving the same mission around the world. In America, people are using an app called Food for All. One hour before a restaurant closes, its staff can post leftover meals to the app for up to 80 percent off menu prices. The app also allows customers to donate leftover meals to others. In the Netherlands, 77,000 people have downloaded an app called NoFoodWasted. This program allows grocery store workers to share products that are approaching their expiration dates with customers who might need them. Some countries are taking their commitment to reducing food waste a step further. France and the Czech Republic, for example, have laws that prohibit restaurants and grocery stores from throwing away food. Instead, workers are required to donate that food to charity. So think about if there might be a better use for your uneaten vegetables. The planet will thank you. 36. What is this passage mainly about? A. Restaurants can post leftover meals on the app Food for All. B. Apps are designed connecting leftover food with people in need. C. Stores share food approaching their expiration dates with customers. D. It’s popular for people to claim food that might otherwise be thrown away. 37. What is the result when lots of food is thrown out and later burned up? A. Carbon dioxide is given off, worsening the problem of climate change. B. Some countries have laws making restaurants donate the food they make. C. Governments have made many apps that let people find cheap meals. D. Nearly one billion people on the planet do not get enough food to eat. 38. What can you infer from the passage? A. Anne packed a tasty pasta and mushroom dish to give away to charity. B. The restaurant Anne visits sells its leftover food at a discount each day. C. The 80-percent-off deal offered on app is not available during lunch hours. D. Laws have been passed to prevent restaurants from throwing out leftover food. 39. This passage would be most useful for a student research project on _____. A. application of technology to help solve the problem of leftover food B. laws to help promote the safe transportation and sale of food products C. restaurants using high-tech solutions to reduce packaging waste D. methods to design apps that connect restaurants with customers 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. C 39.

That’s how much trash is floating around in space. In fact, there’s about 4 million pounds flying over our heads in low-Earth orbit. Daan, a Dutch artist, and his team at Space Waste Lab have come up with a creative plan that could clear up space junk in a spectacular fashion. ①Most space waste comes from dead satellites and rockets. Functioning satellites are the backbone of the information systems that keep our world running smoothly. But all the satellites eventually become obsolete within just a few decades. When they die out, there’s the problem of them drifting in outer space, collecting in what scientists call the “graveyard orbit.” Maybe you’re thinking, “Why should I care about garbage 12,500 miles above me?” Well, all that fun stuff that satellites help beam down to us—mobile games, Instagram, cat videos—could be shut down by space waste. Lots of old junk floating around up there, plus new satellites added each year, means more and more high-speed collisions (碰撞). And when chunks of junk crash into one another, they break apart into millions of pieces, quickly building up speed and turning into fast-moving objects, which are dangerous to operational satellites as well as astronauts working on the International Space Station. ②Space waste is a problem that’s escalated so much, some scientists say that by 2050 we’ll be forced to stop launching new spacecraft altogether, including new satellites. Think about that for a minute. When the last satellites finally become disused, GPS, cell phones, and the Internet will no longer function. ③So we have to find a way to deal with this space garbage, and Daan pictures a sort of trash pickup, which involves groups of small spacecraft casting large nets into orbit that would collect space debris (碎片) and send it back toward Earth at top speed. Here’s the best part—while reentering Earth’s atmosphere, the pieces of junk would burn up all at once, creating a light show similar to hundreds of shooting stars falling in the night sky. A spectacle indeed! To get ready for such an amazing effort, Space Waste Lab has been traveling to major cities across Europe and enlightening the public on the problem of the junk in space. ④But Daan doesn’t just talk about ways to relieve the problem—he’s created something a little grander than that. In October 2018, his team launched Space Waste Lab Performance, an outdoor art exhibition that shows the location of each piece of space trash using large lasers that make each debris look a bit like a star wandering slowly and silently over the sky, allowing viewers to wave and say, “Hallo, space trash!” 43. The word “obsolete” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “______”. A. accessible B. profitable C. floating D. outdated 44. According to the passage, which sentence best replaces the question mark in the diagram? A. Working satellites can be damaged and astronauts can be hurt. B. Satellites can help people track the weather and find new locations. C. There is more junk floating in space each year as new satellites are added. D. The Space Waste Lab Performance can show people where satellites are located. 45. Which of the following best supports the idea that space waste should be dealt with very soon? A. Sentences ① B. Sentence ② C. Sentence ③ D. Sentence ④ 46. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. Space Junk Harms Digital Systems B. Artists’ Proposal to Save Space C. A New Glimpse into Outer Space D. Test of Waste Collection Nets 【答案】43. D 44. A 45. B 46. B 【解析】 【分析】 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了荷兰艺术家达恩和他在太空垃圾实验室的团队提出了一个创意计划,可以以壮观的方式清理太空垃圾。 【43题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“When they die out, there’s the problem of them drifting in outer space, collecting in what scientists call the “graveyard orbit.”可知,当它们被废弃时,它们就会在外太空漂流,被科学家们称为“墓地轨道”的地方会把它们收集起来,因此此处是说所有的卫星最终都在短短几十年内被淘汰,由此可知画线词词义为“淘汰、使过时”,故D项正确。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。本题实际上考的是太空垃圾的危害,根据第三段中的“And when chunks of junk crash into one another, they break apart into millions of pieces, quickly building up speed and turning into fast-moving objects, which are dangerous to operational satellites as well as astronauts working on the International Space Station.”可知,当大块的太空垃圾相互碰撞时,它们会分裂成数百万块,很快加速并变成快速移动的物体,这对运行中的卫星以及在国际空间站工作的宇航员都是危险的,由此可知,太空垃圾会损坏工作中的卫星并使宇航员受伤,故A项正确。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。第一句话的意思是:大多数太空垃圾来自于废弃的卫星和火箭,运行正常的卫星是信息系统的骨干,这些系统使我们的世界保持平稳运行;第二句话的意思是:太空垃圾是一个日益严重的问题,一些科学家说,到2050年,我们将被迫完全停止发射新的航天器,包括新的卫星。;第三句话的意思是:因此,我们必须找到一种方法来处理这些太空垃圾,达恩拍摄了一种垃圾收集装置,其中包括一组小型航天器将大网撒入轨道,收集太空垃圾并以最高速度将其送回地球;第四句话的意思是:但达恩不仅仅是在谈论如何解决问题,他创造了一个比这更伟大的东西。根据第二句话句意再结合其下一句所说的“当最后一颗卫星最终报废时,全球定位系统、手机和互联网将不再发挥作用”,这突出了处理太空垃圾的紧迫性,因此第二句话最能支持太空垃圾应该很快处理的观点,故B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“Daan, a Dutch artist, and his team at Space Waste Lab have come up with a creative plan that could clear up space junk in a spectacular fashion.”可知,本文主要介绍了荷兰艺术家达恩和他在太空垃圾实验室的团队提出了一个创意计划,可以以壮观的方式清理太空垃圾,故B项最适合做文章标题。 【点睛】本篇第1题词义猜测题的难度较大,对画线词下文的理解是关键,根据画线词后的“When they die out, there’s the problem of them drifting in outer space, collecting in what scientists call the “graveyard orbit.”可知,当它们被废弃时,它们就会在外太空漂流,被科学家们称为“墓地轨道”的地方会把它们收集起来,因此此处是说所有的卫星最终都在短短几十年内被淘汰,特别是“die out”表明画线词词义为“淘汰、使过时”,故D项正确。 Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully.

How Colleges Can Measure Up in Teaching “Critical Thinking” After becoming president of Purdue University in 2013, Mitch Daniels asked the teaching staff to prove that their students have actually achieved one of higher education’s most important goals: critical thinking skills. ____47____ Mr. Daniels needed to justify the high cost of attending Purdue to its students and their families. After all, the percentage of Americans who say a college degree is “very important” has fallen dramatically in the last 5-6 years. Purdue now has a pilot test to assess students’ critical thinking skills. _____48_____ However, they need not worry so much. The results of a recent experiment showed that professors could use standard grading scale to measure how well students did in three key areas: critical thinking, written communication and language literacy. _____49_____ The organizers of the experiment concluded that far fewer students were achieving at high levels on critical thinking than they were doing for written communication or language literacy. And that conclusion is based only on students nearing graduation. American universities, despite their global reputation for excellence in teaching, have only begun to demonstrate what they can produce in real-world learning. Knowledge-based degrees are still important, but employers are demanding advanced thinking skills from college graduates. _____50_____ A. If the intellectual worth of a college degree can be accurately measured, more people will seek higher education―and come out better thinkers. B. Two years before, a nationwide study of college graduates had shown that more than a third had made no significant gains in such mental abilities during their school years. C. Despite the success of the experiment, the actual results are frustrating, and mostly confirm earlier studies. D. Many can’t reason clearly or perform competently in analyzing complex, non-technical problems. E. Yet like many college teachers in the U.S., the professors remain doubtful that their work as educators can be measured by a “learning outcome” such as a graduate’s ability to investigate and reason. F. It is important to identify the common goals of general higher education and translate them into the design of the learning outcomes assessment. 【答案】47. B 48. E 49. C 50.

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. New Research on Kids’ Poor Math Achievement If the thought of a math test makes you break out in a cold sweat, Mom or Dad may be partly to blame, according to the new research published in Psychological Science. A team of researchers found that children of math-anxious parents learned less math over the school year and were more likely to be math-anxious themselves—but only when these parents provided frequent help on the child’s math homework. Previous research from this group has established that when teachers are anxious about math, their students learn less math during the school year. The current study is novel in that it establishes a link between parents’ and children’s math anxiety. These findings suggest that adults’ attitudes toward math can play an important role in children’s math achievement. “We often don’t think about how important parents’ own attitudes are in determining their children’s academic achievement. But our work suggests that if a parent is walking around saying ‘Oh, I don’t like math’ or ‘this stuff makes me nervous,’ kids pick up on this messaging and it affects their success,” explained Beilock, professor in psychology. “Math-anxious parents may be less effective in explaining math concepts to children, and may not respond well when children make a mistake or solve a problem in a novel way,” added Levine, Beilock’s colleague. 438 first- and second-grade students and their primary caregivers participated in the study. Children were assessed in math achievement and math anxiety at both the beginning and end of the school year. As a control, the team also assessed reading achievement, which they found was not related to parents’ math anxiety. Parents completed a questionnaire about their own nervousness and anxiety around math and how often they helped their children with math homework. The researchers believe the link between parents’ math anxiety and children’s math performance stems more from math attitudes than genetics. 【答案】Different from previous research on the relationship between teachers’ anxiety and their students, a new research reveals parents’ math anxiety undermines their children’s math performance. When the anxious parents help their children with math, their negative attitudes toward math will be passed on to their children, which indicates that not genetics but attitudes account for the kids’ math performance.
