Rhubarb loved everyone and every dog. Whenever someone came to the house, she was always happy. We had an older Samoyed named Willie, and it was important that Rhubarb got along well with him. She wanted to play, but was very respectful of Willie and left him alone when he was tired and needed to rest. Willie was not well and died about a year later, but I believe Rhubarb’s interaction helped him keep going for longer than if he had been alone.
But the interesting thing about Rhubarb was that she never barked. She would sometimes get excited when she saw a mouse and make a little crying sound. One hot night when she was about 4 years old, we went to bed with the windows open and the doors unlocked. At about 3 a.m., I woke up to the sound of Rhubarb barking and growling. I woke Donald and we got out of bed.
Rhubarb was coming toward us with her hackles(颈背毛) up. We turned on the lights and noticed the door to the kitchen was open. Then we saw the door leading into the house from the garage was also open. We quickly locked all the doors, and we did not get any sleep that night.
The next day I called the police to report a break-in. I told them nothing had been taken, but they sent a police officer over to talk with us anyway. While he was here, we found out several local homes had been burglarized over the weekend. Most people had their wallets and purses stolen.
My purse was right next to the door, but Rhubarb had scared the robber away before he or she could steal it. When the police officer left, he said we should keep our doors locked and reward Rhubarb with a big steak dinner.
Rhubarb lived to be almost 12, but that night was the only time she barked in her entire life. Fortunately, she never saw the need to warn us of any other danger. We loved her like a member of the family and still miss our sweet dog.
24．What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A.Willie was good at communicating.
B.Rhubarb and Willie fought at times.
C.Rhubarb helped Willie live longer.
D.Willie was alone before his death.
25．Why did Rhubarb bark on a hot night?
A.She got scared.
B.She saw a mouse.
C.A thief broke into the house.
D.The doors were unlocked.
26．Which of the following words can be best used to describe Rhubarb?
A.Smart but fierce.
B.Brave and flexible.
C.Gentle but clumsy.
D.Friendly and alert.
27．What made the author feel fortunate?
A.Rhubarb scared the robber away.
B.She had such a family member as Rhubarb.
C.Rhubarb barked once in her entire life.
D.There was no need for Rhubarb to bark.

24．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"Willie was not well and died about a year later, but I believe Rhubarb’s interaction helped him keep going for longer than if he had been alone"可知,Rhubarb帮助Willie活了更长时间。
25．考查推理判断。根据第四段中的"I called the police to report a break-in"以及第五段中的"My purse was right next to the door, but Rhubarb had scared the robber away before he or she could steal it"可知,Rhubarb叫的原因是有小偷潜入。
26．考查推理判断。根据第一段的"Rhubarb loved everyone and every dog. Whenever someone came to the house, she was always happy"可知,Rhubarb很友好;再根据下文所述的Rhubarb把潜入家里的小偷吓跑的内容可知,Rhubarb很警觉。故选D项。
27．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"Fortunately, she never saw the need to warn us of any other danger"可推知,作者之所以感到幸运是因为自那以后,Rhubarb再也没有遇到需要它叫的任何其他危险的情况了,故选D项。
【备注】本文为记叙文。Rhubarb是一只很友好但却不会叫的狗。让人诧异的是小偷"光顾"时,它有生以来第一次叫了,并且吓跑了小偷。
Data on British buying habits in 2015 reveals a move away from products such as sausages and bacon in favour of fish and poultry(家禽肉).
The move may be because high-end consumers are noticing growing warnings about their impact on health. That was reinforced by an assessment by the World Health Organization in October that placed cured and processed meats in the same category as asbestos, alcohol, arsenic and tobacco as major causes of cancer.
Sales of sausages and bacon were down 14.4% last year compared with 2014 and sales of red meat fell by 8.1%. In contrast, sales of poultry and fish rose by 13.1% and 25.1% respectively.
The sustained interest in organic food is driven by an increase in young and socially conscious "millennials" (born from the early 1980s to the early 2000s) with strong social, ethical and environmental values. They are prepared to pay extra for healthier options and shifting shopping patterns away from "the big weekly shop" in favour of "a few and often".
At Tesco sales of organic fruit and vegetables have risen by more than 18% over the last year — double the market average. Tesco fruit commercial manager Gareth Wilcock said, "The revival of organic foods has been gathering pace over the last few years, with lower prices and better availability both playing a major part in that."
George Scott, food and grocery analyst with Verdict Retail, said, "Organic food is no longer niche (针对特定小群体的) and I think this upward sales trend is here to stay. It is very significant that we have acute consumers who are prepared to trade up to the foods where they want the best quality and assurances of provenance."
28．What does the World Health Organization think of processed meats?
A.High-end consumers prefer them.
B.They have little effect on heart diseases.
C.They’re a kind of organic food.
D.They’re likely to cause cancer.
29．What are the figures in Paragraph 3 used to show?
A.The sales of some food in two years.
B.Some data on British buying habits.
C.Customers’ interest in organic food.
D.The change of British buying habits.
30．What can we know about "millennials"?
A.They like buying in large quantities.
B.They’re health-conscious.
C.They used to buy a few things.
D.They share the same eating habits.
31．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A.Organic food businesses are taking off.
B.Organic foods have unfavorable prices.
C.It’s inconvenient to buy organic foods.
D.It’s hard to satisfy all consumers.

28．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"...placed cured and processed meats in the same category as asbestos, alcohol, arsenic and tobacco as major causes of cancer"可知,世界卫生组织认为,肉类加工品有可能致癌。
29．考查推理判断。第三段中列举的数据是为了支持本文的话题"Data on British buying habits in 2015 reveals a move away from products such as sausages and bacon in favour of fish and poultry(家禽肉)",即英国人改变了以往的购物习惯,不再依恋肉类加工品,而是转向有机食品。所以D项正确。
30．考查推理判断。根据第四段中的"They are prepared to pay extra for healthier options"可知,千禧一代愿意为了更健康的选择多付钱,由此可推知他们有健康意识。
31．考查推理判断。根据最后两段的内容,尤其是"At Tesco sales of organic fruit and vegetables have risen by more than 18% over the last year...The revival of organic foods has been gathering pace over the last few years"和"I think this upward sales trend is here to stay"可知,有机食物企业开始盛行。
【备注】这是一篇说明文。数据表明英国人改变了以往的购物习惯,他们不再依恋肉类加工品,而是转向健康的有机食品。
It is an aerial performance far beyond the capabilities of even the most complex modern aircraft: landing upside down on a ceiling. But it is routine business for bats, and now scientists have learned precisely how they do it.
Brown University scientists observed two species: Seba’s short-tailed bat and the lesser dog-faced fruit bat. They tracked their motions using three high-speed video cameras taking images at 1,000 frames per second, and studied weight distribution in the bats’ body and wings. They found that by flapping both wings while folding one of them just a bit toward their body, a bat can shift its centre of mass to perform a midair flip in order to land on a ceiling.
"Flying animals all move skillfully constantly as they fly through a three-dimensional environment," Brown biology and engineering professor Sharon Swartz said. "Bats employ this specific technique every time they land, because for a bat, landing requires reorienting from head forward, back up, belly down, to head down, toes up."
When approaching their touchdown spot, bats are not flying very quickly, making it difficult to gather the type of aerodynamic forces produced by pushing against the air that could help position them for an upside-down landing. But their heavy wings enable them instead to create inertial(惯性的) forces to adjust themselves in midair.
Swartz said bats, as nocturnal(夜间活动的) animals, are generally not fully appreciated as skilled pilots. "People have many opportunities to observe birds and insects flying, but the bat world is hidden in the night. The more we observe flight behavior in bats, the more we are impressed," Swartz said.
32．What’s the key factor in bats’ successful landing?
A.Flapping both wings constantly.
B.Flying slowly and stably.
C.Choosing suitable positions.
D.Shifting their centre of mass.
33．Which word is closest in meaning to the underlined word "reorienting"?
A.Adjust.
B.Show.
C.Identify.
D.Maintain.
34．Why aren’t bats generally recognized as skilled pilots?
A.Their flying skills are controversial.
B.Their flight behavior is hard to understand.
C.They’re not the most skilled in flying.
D.They’re primarily active at night.
35．What is the text mainly about?
A.How bats hunt at night.
B.How bats land upside down.
C.How bats travel around at night.
D.How scientists track bats’ motions.

32．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"They found that by flapping both wings while folding one of them just a bit toward their body, a bat can shift its centre of mass to perform a midair flip in order to land on a ceiling"可知,转移重心能让蝙蝠成功倒挂在天花板上。
33．考查词义猜测。根据画线词后的"from head forward, back up, belly down, to head down, toes up"和上下文语境可知,此处指的是蝙蝠降落需要从头朝前、背朝上、腹部朝下调整为头朝下、脚趾朝上。故画线词应意为"调整",与adjust的意义相近。
34．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"as nocturnal(夜间活动的) animals"和"but the bat world is hidden in the night"可知,因为蝙蝠在夜间活动,不易被观察到,因此在飞行技巧方面未受到充分赏识。
35．考查主旨要义。通读全文可知,文章主要讲蝙蝠是怎样倒挂在天花板上的。故B项最能概括文章的大意。
【备注】本文是一篇说明文。蝙蝠能倒挂在天花板上,这是精彩的空中特技表演,甚至超越了最复杂的现代飞机的能力。
Suffering from chronic fatigue(慢性疲劳)? Read on to know how to deal with it.
Let your brain waves relax before sleep. If you want to feel energized in the morning, you need to change your evening and bedtime routines. 36 Besides, stay away from your phone, laptop, TV and any device that gives off the blue light.
Never skip your meals. No matter how busy or depressed you are, never ever skip your meals. Have a wholesome breakfast, a light lunch, healthy snacks and a delicious dinner every single day. 37
Take a nap. If you are suffering from chronic fatigue and you have trouble surviving the afternoon, taking a short nap (15-20 minutes) is a healthy way. 38 Or let your boss know that you need to take a short nap every afternoon due to health issues.
Give tea a try. 39 However, since it has poor energy-boosting properties, it is time to try something new. Earl Grey tea or black tea is a better option when it comes to energy-boosting drinks.
40 Taking a cold shower in the morning is an excellent way to wake yourself up and give yourself plenty of energy. However, if you have a weak immune system, this method is not for you. Drinking a glass of cold water as soon as you wake up is a safer way to pump up your energy levels.
A. Increase your body’s oxygen.
B. Choose ice water instead of a cold shower.
C. Ask your co-workers not to disturb you for 15 minutes.
D. Coffee has always been a favorite morning drink for many people.
E. If your body doesn’t get enough nutrients, chronic fatigue is unavoidable.
F. Do not overload your brain with unnecessary stuff and avoid negative talks.
G. Taking a deep breath and muscle-tensing exercise helps you enter a state of relaxation.

I was touched, so much. A while back, my three-year-old son and I settled back for his goodnight 41 . We lay down in his little bed and he said, "Daddy, when I get big can I live with you?" I 42 him he could live with me any time he wanted to.
A moment later he said, "When you die you’re going to feel 43 on your face and it will be me touching you." Then he 44 , "I will kiss you." He moved over, kissed me. I was aware of tears suddenly welling up in my eyes. I didn’t want to explain 45 I was crying; as I opened my eyes to look at him, he was already 46 .
I spent some time looking at him, 47 the minute and wondering about the depth of the 48 I’d had. It occurred to me that I didn’t remember having much of this kind of 49 time with my father, and that this was a time that would be 50 short-lived. This time of 51 that forms a three-year-old’s life, would soon be 52 . What will remain, however, will be the 53 of this short while reoccurring in my mind non-stop. It made all of the difficult 54 of being a father worthwhile.
Sometimes, being a committed father can feel like you’re 55 the doorkeeper, driver, and 56 in the house. Then you will have "a 57 ", one like this in which your child expresses , pure, and 58 love for you.
When your kids have 59 home and you look back at these years, all of these will be strung together to 60 the memories of their lives with you.

41．根据空前的"his goodnight"和空后的"We lay down in his little bed"以及常识可知,此处指父亲给儿子睡前道晚安这一惯例(routine)。
42．此处指作者向儿子保证(assured)只要他想,他随时可以和作者住在一起。
43．根据"it will be me touching you"可知,这里表示有某种不确定的东西,所以用something。
44．根据语境可知,此处指作者的儿子向自己承诺(promised)道,"我会吻你"。
45．作者意识到自己突然热泪盈眶,但是不想解释自己为什么(why)哭了。此处why引导宾语从句,表示原因。
46．根据语境可知,这里指当作者睁开眼看他时,他已经睡着(asleep)了。
47．此处指作者看了他一会儿,享受这个时刻,故用enjoying强调这个时刻的美好。
48．此处指"我惊讶于刚刚的感受之深刻"。儿子说出那些话,作者会很有感触,故用feeling。
49．作者刚刚和儿子在一起的那一幕是温馨的,作者不记得自己和父亲曾有过这样温馨的时刻。gentle"温柔的"。
50．由下文的"short-lived""would soon be""short while"可知,作者认为这样的时刻极其短暂。extremely"极度,极其"。
51．此处指三岁孩童生命中的这种天真(innocence)将会很快消失(gone)。
52．参见上题解析。"short-lived"和"forms a three-year-old’s life...this short while"亦是提示。
53．此处指然而,留下的将会是不断浮现在作者的脑海中的这一短暂时刻的画面。scene"景象",符合语境。
54．此处指和孩子在一起度过的美好时刻让作为父亲所做的所有困难的工作(work)都变得值得了。
55．有时候做一个尽心尽力的父亲会让你觉得自己只是(just)家里的看门人、司机和清洁工。

57．此处指然后,你会碰到这样一个时刻。这里用moment和上文作者与儿子之间的温馨时刻呼应。
58．在这一刻,你的孩子向你表达绝对的、纯粹的和无条件的爱。从" , pure"可看出应用unconditional"无条件的"与之并列。
59．根据下文的"look back at these years""the memories of their lives with you"可知,这里指孩子长大后离开(left)家。
60．所有和孩子在一起的这些温馨时刻会串在一起,组成(make up)美好的回忆。

Plovdiv is situated in south-central Bulgaria on the two banks of the Maritsa River. The city has historically developed on seven hills, some of 61 are 250 m (820.21 ft) high. Because of these hills, Plovdiv is 62 (typical) referred to in Bulgaria as "The City of the Seven Hills". Plovdiv’s history 63 (date) back to 6000 BC. Though originally it was 64 Thracian city, Plovdiv has been ruled by many empires over centuries. Later it 65 (conquer) by the Romans. Only in 1885 did the city become part of Bulgaria. Nowadays it’s the second 66 (large) city in Bulgaria and it’s a significant economic, educational and cultural centre.
Plovdiv remains a popular 67 (choose) for vacation travel. I have been obsessed with the city 68 years. Last summer I was lucky 69 (spend) a couple of days in this city and I just fell in love with its narrow paved streets and neat beautiful houses! The Old Town is definitely worth | 70 (see). It is overwhelmed with restaurants, workshops and museums that were previously famous houses.

61．考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,这里是"不定代词+介词+关系代词"引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词是hills,故用which。
62．考查副词。通常普罗夫迪夫在保加利亚被称为"七丘之城"。修饰动词应该用副词。typically意为"通常,典型地"。
63．考查时态。普罗夫迪夫的历史可追溯到公元前6000年。date back to"追溯到,开始于",只用于一般现在时,且不能用于被动语态。
64．考查冠词。尽管起初是一个色雷斯人的城市,但几个世纪以来普罗夫迪夫被很多帝国统治。根据句意可知,此处用不定冠词表示泛指。
65．考查时态和语态。后来普罗夫迪夫被罗马人征服了。根据"Later"和下句用的一般过去时可知,此处也应用一般过去时,表示发生在过去的动作;且it(指代Plovdiv)与conquer"征服"之间是动宾关系,所以用一般过去时的被动语态。

68．考查介词。由句中的"have been obsessed"以及"years"可知,此处用介词for,表示一段时间。
69．考查非谓语动词。去年夏天,我很幸运在这个城市度过了几天。本句是sb. be+ adj.+to do sth.句型,故用不定式。
70．考查非谓语动词。be worth doing"某事值得做",此处动名词只能用主动形式表示被动含义。
【备注】本文是说明文,作者主要介绍了保加利亚的城市普罗夫迪夫的位置、历史等信息,并提到了自己去这个城市旅游的经历。
Last summer I learnt to ride a bicycle. At first, I was able to control its direction. Sometimes I fall to the right or to the left. I was worrying, asking my father impatiently why he couldn’t ride straight. So he didn’t answer me directly. Instead of, he took me to side of the street. "Can you find bike tracks that is really straight?" asked my father. I watched careful and shook my head. "No," he said. "In fact, none of the tracks is always straight. But just by correct the direction every now and then, you have already gone forward."

carefully
第一处:able→unable。根据语境可知,此处指的应是起初,作者不能控制方向。故应用unable。
第二处:fall→fell。根据文章首句中的"Last summer"可知,此处描述的是发生在过去的事情,应用一般过去时。
第三处:worrying→worried。句子的主语是I,此处指的应是"感到担心的",应用worried。worrying"令人担心的",常用来修饰物。
第四处:he→I。根据语境可知,此处指作者问父亲自己为什么不能骑得比较直。故将he改为I。
第五处:So→But。前后句之间是转折关系,而不是因果关系,故用But。
第六处:去掉Instead后的of。根据语境可知,此处应用副词instead表示父亲反而把作者带到了街道的一边。instead of"代替,而不是……"为介词短语,后面要接名词、代词或动名词。
第七处:在side前加the。此处特指街道的一边,且side是可数名词,故应加上定冠词the。
第八处:is→are。that引导的是定语从句,并在从句中作主语,指代的是"bike tracks",表示复数概念,故从句谓语应用are。
第九处:careful→carefully。修饰动词应用副词。
第十处:correct→correcting。此处作介词by的宾语,故应用动名词形式。

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to complain about the service I have received from your International Friendship Club.
I joined your club a month ago, and you have not offered me the things you promised in your advertisement. You said that you would return photographs immediately, but I am still waiting for them after one month. In addition, you said that you would send me the details of penfriends in 6 different countries within 2 weeks. Now four weeks have passed and I have only received 2 names and letters. Finally, to make matters worse, you said this was a free service to students, but I received a bill of ￡20 last week, which I do not think I should pay.
I am very disappointed with your service and would like you to explain the problems immediately.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
