【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Cape Lookout部分第二句“Visitors can tackle the five-mile, round-trip hike to the tip of the cape which passes several incredible views over the Pacific Ocean. ”（游客们可以完成五英里的往返徒步旅行，到达海角的顶端，那里可以看到太平洋上令人难以置信的景色）可知，站在海角的顶端，你可以欣赏到大海的景色。故选D。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据Clatsop Loop Hike部分第一句“There are several trails that traverse Tillamook Head at Ecola State Park , but the Clatsop Loop Hike takes top honor for its breathtaking Cliffside views and quiet forested paths. ”（在埃科拉州立公园，有几条小径穿过蒂拉穆克头，但克拉索普环游徒步旅行因其令人惊叹的悬崖景观和安静的森林小径而获得最高荣誉）可知，克拉索普环游远足以迷人的景色而闻名。故选C。

Van Gogh painted sunflowers for the first time in the summer of 1886.Two years later, his interest appeared again after he settled in Arles. After he had invited the French artist Paul Gauguin, whom he admired, to join his Studio of the South, he began painting sunflowers to brighten up the whitewashed walls of the yellow house he was living in, not far from the town’s railway station.
Gauguin accepted Van Gogh’s invitation. When he began dragging his heels(脚后跟), Van Gogh painted the last two of the four original Sunflowers for the modest bedroom where his guest would sleep following his arrival that autumn, “Van Gogh saw the Sunflowers for Gauguin’s bedroom as a way of attracting his friend to come from Brittany, “says Bailey.
According to Martin Gayford, “Gauguin was very surprised by the Sunflowers, which he repeatedly praised and asked for as a gift. Years later, Gauguin himself painted some sunflower pictures.”
Van Gogh’s Sunflowers stand for (代表)his relationship with Gauguin. “I think he painted them for the joy of it,” says Jansen. “Van Gogh was at the height of his powers in the summer of 1888,”explains Bailey. “He painted the Sunflowers quickly and with great energy and confidence.” Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo in late August, “I’m painting quickly now, which won’t surprise you when it’s a question of painting large Sunflowers.”
Van Gogh recognized at once that he had created something important and that his sunflowers were so different. As he told Theo in January 1889, while other artists were known for painting other flowers, “The sunflower is mine.” This, in fact, explains the reason for the popularity of Van Gogh’s Sunflowers today.
24. Van Gogh painted sunflowers in 1888 in order to ________.
A. give them to Gauguin B. make his living
C. decorate his house D. show his artistic talent to others
25. Where were the last two Sunflowers placed by Van Gogh? ________.
A. In the British museum B. In Gauguin’s bedroom
C. In the town’s railway station D. In a rich businessman's house
26. How did Gauguin feel about Van Gogh’s painting——the Sunflowers? ________.
A. Very bad B. Just soso
C. Rather worried D. Quite surprised
27. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that ________.
A. Van Gogh was not good at painting large Sunflowers
B. Van Gogh had much trouble in painting the Sunflowers
C. Van Gogh didn’t like his Sunflowers at all at that time
D. Van Gogh realized the Sunflowers would make him known
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了梵高的绘画作品《向日葵》的创作背景。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“he began painting sunflowers to brighten up the whitewashed walls of the yellow house he was living in”可知，他画向日葵是为他所居住的黄色房屋的白色粉刷墙壁增添色彩。因此梵高1888年画向日葵是为了装饰他的房子。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Gauguin accepted Van Gogh’s invitation. Gogh painted the last two of the four original Sunflowers for the modest bedroom where his guest would sleep following his arrival that autumn”可知，Gauguin接受了梵高的邀请。梵高为那间不起眼的卧室画了四个原始向日葵中的最后两个向日葵，他的客人那个秋天来到后就睡在这个卧室里。可知，梵高把最后两个向日葵画作放在了Gauguin的卧室里。故选B。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“According to Martin Gayford, “Gauguin was very surprised by the Sunflowers, which he repeatedly praised and asked for as a gift.”可知，据Martin Gayford说，Gauguin对向日葵感到非常惊讶，他一再赞美并索要它作为礼物。故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Van Gogh recognized at once that he had created something important and that his sunflowers were so different. This, in fact, explains the reason for the popularity of Van Gogh’s Sunflowers today.”可知，梵高意识到自己创造了一些重要的东西，而他的向日葵是如此的不同。这解释了梵高的向日葵今天流行的原因。因此梵高意识到向日葵会让他出名。故选D。
C
With the Chinese language becoming popular, the UK government plans to invest(投资) 10 million pounds to help more kids learn Mandarin (普通话). Do you think it is necessary for the UK pupils to learn Mandarin? Some people share their opinions online.
Tsd (UK): The learning of any language can be valuable and useful, but it is not suitable for everyone. Chinese is a difficult language to learn and the UK is said to be bad at learning foreign languages. Why should they learn Chinese when most people in the world speak English?
Mark (US): I studied French for 2 years in high school and German for 4 years in college. I studied Mandarin informally for about 4 months before moving to China. Now I speak Mandarin every day as my wife doesn’t speak English. But it is far from being fluent. Learning additional languages is a great thing, which offers a different view on the world around us. Nowadays, it’s almost necessary to be able to speak more than just your mother tongue.
George (UK) : No, unless they’re taught from a very early stage of childhood. Mandarin is so difficult. If China really is going to lead the world, it’ll have to do so by speaking the world ‘s leading language— English.
28. What is probably Mark’s main purpose of learning Chinese?
A. His frequent travel to China.
B. Further education in the future.
C. Effective communication with his family.
D. The official request of his company.
29 Tsd from UK disagrees to learn Chinese for some reasons except ________.
A. It is difficult to learn Chinese.
B. The people in the UK are not good foreign language learners.
C. English is the mostly spoken language.
D. China is not as developed a country as the UK.
30. What does George think of learning Chinese?
A. It’s of little use.
B. It’s unnecessary.
C. It takes too much time.
D. It’s not popular.
31. What seems to be the major problem when foreigners try to learn Chinese?
A. Its difficulty as a language.
B. Misunderstanding about China.
C. The great popularity of English.
D. No enough learning resources.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。随着中国影响力的逐步增强，普通话也正在逐渐走向世界。英国政府计划投资1000万英镑帮助更多的孩子学习普通话。有些人在网上分享他们的观点。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段Now I speak Mandarin every day as my wife doesn’t speak English. Nowadays, it’s almost necessary to be able to speak more than just your mother tongue.（现在我每天说普通话，因为我妻子不会说英语。如今，除了母语之外，能够说更多的语言几乎是必要的。）” 可推知Mark 学汉语的动机是为了有效的交流。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第二段“The learning of any language can be valuable and useful, but it is not suitable for everyone. Chinese is a difficult language to learn and the UK is said to be bad at learning foreign languages. Why should they learn Chinese when most people in the world speak English?任何语言的学习都可能是有价值和有用的，但它并不适合每个人。汉语是一种很难学的语言，而且据说英国不擅长学习外语。世界上大部分人都说英语，他们为什么要学中文？）”可知，D选项China is not as developed a country as the UK 未被提到，所以应except D, 故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“If China really is going to lead the world, it’ll have to do so by speaking the world ‘s leading language— English（如果中国真的要领导世界，它必须说世界上最主要的语言——英语）”可推知不必要学汉语，故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章中第二段“Chinese is a difficult language to learn （汉语是一门很难学的语言）可推断，外国人在尝试学中文时的主要问题在于中文太难学。故选A。
D
The tornadoes that recently struck the U.S. are some of the most destructive and deadly in history. The death in Kentucky, the hardest hit state, reached 80 on Monday, with dozens still unaccounted for. The scale of destruction and timing of the tornadoes so late in the year — most tornadoes occur in the spring and summer — is fueling discussion about how climate change may have influenced this deadly disaster.
“In my 40 years as a meteorologist (气象学家), this was one of the most shocking weather events I’ve ever witnessed,” says Jeff Masters, at Yale Climate Connections. “Watching these storms on Friday night, my thought was, ‘Is no season safe?’ Extreme tornadoes in December. That was mind blowing to me.”
Unlike heat waves and floods, the link between a wanning world and tornadoes is complex and uncertain. Scientists have several theories about how tornado behavior may change. Tornadoes in December are possible. But it remains to be seen whether climate change will strengthen or increase the frequency of tornadoes.
According to NOAA’s data, there has been a recorded increase in the number of observed tornadoes since 1950, which experts believe is largely due to better technology such as Doppler radar. There’s been no observed increase in the frequency of major tornadoes over time. For example, 59 of the most severe F5 tornadoes in the U.S. have occurred since 1950. But if the storm that destroyed Kentucky turns out to have been an F5, it will have been the first since 2013 — bringing to an end the longest recorded period so far.
Nevertheless, “given the general influence of global warming on the atmosphere, it makes sense that it should be having an impact on tornadoes too,” says Victor Gensini, an extreme weather expert at Northern Illinois University. “Instead of asking: ‘Did climate change cause this tornado?’ It’s better to operate under the assumption that climate change did play a role,” he says.
While the science on climate change and tornadoes isn’t clear, meteorologists are predicting that conditions benefiting tornadoes will continue this month. “I’m worried about the rest of the year to be honest. I don’t think we’re out of the woods yet.” Gensini says.
32. What is one difference between the recent tornadoes and the ones in the past?
A. They hit only Kentucky. B. They happened in December.
C. They caused no deaths. D. They caught people unprepared.
33. What can be inferred in paragraph 3?
A. Waves and floods often follow tornadoes.
B. There is an agreement on how tornadoes may change.
C. Climate change will make tornadoes the most deadly disaster.
D. Scientists are unsure about how climate change influences tornadoes.
34. Which statement may Victor Gensini agree with?
A. The climate change most likely has an effect on tornadoes.
B. The tornadoes have nothing to do with climate warming.
C. The science on climate change is advancing very quickly.
D. The climate change will make tornadoes much less frequent.
35. What does the underlined phrase “out of the woods” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Out of forest. B. Out of difficulty.
C. Out of danger. D. Out of question.
【答案】32 B 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了美国最近遭受了历史上最具破坏性和致命性的龙卷风的袭击，专家认为美国近年来频发的龙卷风可能与气候变化相关。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段中的“The scale of destruction and timing of the tornadoes so late in the year — most tornadoes occur in the spring and summer (今年晚些时候龙卷风的破坏规模和发生时间——大多数龙卷风发生在春季和夏季)”和第二段中的“‘Watching these storms on Friday night, my thought was, ‘Is no season safe?’ Extreme tornadoes in December. That was mind blowing to me.’(“周五晚上看到这些风暴，我的想法是，‘没有季节安全吗？’12月的极端龙卷风。这让我大吃一惊。”)”可知，过去龙卷风发生在春季和夏季，而最近的龙卷风发生在12月。故选B项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段中的“Scientists have several theories about how tornado behavior may change. (科学家们对龙卷风轨迹可能如何改变有几种理论)”和“But it remains to be seen whether climate change will strengthen or increase the frequency of tornadoes. (但气候变化是否会加强或增加龙卷风的频率还有待观察)”可得出，科学家对龙卷风轨迹怎样变化没有定论，不确定气候变化如何影响龙卷风。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。由倒数第二段“Nevertheless, “given the general influence of global warming on the atmosphere, it makes sense that it should be having an impact on tornadoes too,” says Victor Gensini, an extreme weather expert at Northern Illinois University. “Instead of asking: ‘Did climate change cause this tornado?’ It’s better to operate under the assumption that climate change did play a role,” he says. (然而，北伊利诺伊大学极端天气专家维克多·根西尼说，“考虑到全球变暖对大气的普遍影响，全球变暖也应该对龙卷风产生影响是有道理的。”“与其问：‘气候变化导致了这次龙卷风吗？’不如假设气候变化确实起了作用，”他说)”可知， Victor Gensini认为气候变化很可能对龙卷风产生影响。故选A项。
【35题详解】
词句猜测题。由最后一段“While the science on climate change and tornadoes isn’t clear, meteorologists are predicting that conditions benefiting tornadoes will continue this month. “I’m worried about the rest of the year to be honest. I don’t think we’re out of the woods yet.” Gensini says. (虽然气候变化和龙卷风的科学研究尚不清楚，但气象学家预测，本月有利于龙卷风的条件将继续存在。“老实说，我担心今年剩下的时间。我认为我们还未out of the woods。”根西尼说)”可知，本月可能还会发生龙卷风，Gensini很担心，觉得人们还未摆脱龙卷风的危险，out of the woods在此处意为“out of danger (脱离危险)”。故选C项。

Sometimes, you are not good at some of your subjects. ____36____ You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if you want to. Here’s how:
Plan your time carefully. When you plan your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc., then decide a good, regular time for studying. ____37____ A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。尽管有法律保护，也有自然公园，但老虎的栖息地还是不断被破坏，老虎依然遭到猎捕，老虎成了世界上最濒危物种之一。幸运的是，野生动物保护协会正在致力于保护它们。
【56题详解】
考查副词。句意：老实说，老虎是当今世界上最濒危的物种之一。短语honestly speaking表示“老实说”。句首单词首字母要大写。故填Honestly。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：野生老虎总数不超过5000只。分析句子结构可知，此处应填非谓语动词作后置定语，tigers和leave之间是逻辑上的被动关系，故用过去分词作定语，故填left。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意：一些人认为野生老虎已经到了灭绝的地步。作介词的宾语，应用名词extinction，不可数。故填extinction。
【59题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：事实上，在过去的几十年里，人们采取了许多措施来保护老虎。根据上文over the last few decades可知应用现在完成时，steps和take之间是被动关系，应用现在完成时的被动语态，主语是复数，故填have been taken。
【60题详解】
考查冠词。句意：野生动物保护协会（WCS）成立于21世纪初，旨在保护野生动物及其栖息地。短语in the early 2000s表示“在21世纪初”。故填the。
【61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：2010年，WCS启动了“永远的老虎”项目，其目标是在未来10年将世界上老虎的数量增加50%。非限制性定语从句修饰先行词Tigers Forever，从句中缺少定语，故用关系代词whose引导。故填whose。
【62题详解】
考查介词。句意：2010年，WCS启动了“永远的老虎”项目，其目标是在未来10年将世界上老虎的数量增加50%。短语increase by表示“增加……”。故填by。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：为了实现他们的目标，他们不仅与政府合作，还与其他组织合作，保护老虎和其他野生物种。分析句子结构可知achieve在句中应用非谓语动词形式，此处作目的状语应用不定式，句首单词首字母要大写。故填To achieve。
【64题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：为了实现他们的目标，他们不仅与政府合作，还与其他组织合作，保护老虎和其他野生物种。句型not only…but (also)…表示“不仅……而且……”。故填but。
【65题详解】
考查比较级。句意：多亏了WCS的辛勤工作，这些大型猫科动物在自然环境中比以往任何时候都有更好的生存机会，而不仅仅是在动物园里。根据后文than ever可知应用比较级。故填better。

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One day, Barton, who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door, found that he only had one coin left. He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.
However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman named Whitney opened the door. He changed his mind and asked for a cup of water instead of a meal. Whitney thought Barton looked hungry, so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”
“You don't owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Barton left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but also increased his faith in God and humans. He was about to give up and quit before this point.
Years later Whitney became critically ill. Her husband, who took care of her, could not go out to work, and her poor son had to drop out of school because of being unable to afford his school tuition. He had to pick up coal in a mine near his home. Then he sold all the coal he collected for a few coins to help his parents. Fortunately, their neighbors often brought food and medicine to them, enabling them to survive the hardship of life. Besides, they also raised money for her from a fundraiser on the Internet. People donate money for her in banks, by phone using a credit card and online.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右。
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Having recognized Whitney from the pictures posted online, Barton drove to her home immediately.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Tears of joy flooded Whitney's eyes.
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Having recognized Whitney from the pictures posted online, Barton drove to her home immediately. Without any hesitation, Barton sent her to a famous hospital in the big city, where he worked as a doctor. In spite of a hard day’s work, he studied her rare disease late into the night. Besides, he gave special attention to her case. After a long struggle, the battle was won. When Whitney came back to life, she found herself surrounded by many people including Barton.
Paragraph 2:
Tears of joy flooded Whitney’s eyes. However, she always worried the final bill because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Days later, the bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words: “Paid in full with a glass of milk.” (Signed) Dr. Barton. What she had seen touched her greatly and prayed silently: “Thank You, God. Your love has spread through human hearts and hands.”

Van Gogh painted sunflowers for the first time in the summer of 1886.Two years later, his interest appeared again after he settled in Arles. After he had invited the French artist Paul Gauguin, whom he admired, to join his Studio of the South, he began painting sunflowers to brighten up the whitewashed walls of the yellow house he was living in, not far from the town’s railway station.
Gauguin accepted Van Gogh’s invitation. When he began dragging his heels(脚后跟), Van Gogh painted the last two of the four original Sunflowers for the modest bedroom where his guest would sleep following his arrival that autumn, “Van Gogh saw the Sunflowers for Gauguin’s bedroom as a way of attracting his friend to come from Brittany, “says Bailey.
According to Martin Gayford, “Gauguin was very surprised by the Sunflowers, which he repeatedly praised and asked for as a gift. Years later, Gauguin himself painted some sunflower pictures.”
Van Gogh’s Sunflowers stand for (代表)his relationship with Gauguin. “I think he painted them for the joy of it,” says Jansen. “Van Gogh was at the height of his powers in the summer of 1888,”explains Bailey. “He painted the Sunflowers quickly and with great energy and confidence.” Van Gogh wrote to his brother Theo in late August, “I’m painting quickly now, which won’t surprise you when it’s a question of painting large Sunflowers.”
Van Gogh recognized at once that he had created something important and that his sunflowers were so different. As he told Theo in January 1889, while other artists were known for painting other flowers, “The sunflower is mine.” This, in fact, explains the reason for the popularity of Van Gogh’s Sunflowers today.
24. Van Gogh painted sunflowers in 1888 in order to ________.
A. give them to Gauguin B. make his living
C. decorate his house D. show his artistic talent to others
25. Where were the last two Sunflowers placed by Van Gogh? ________.
A. In the British museum B. In Gauguin’s bedroom
C. In the town’s railway station D. In a rich businessman's house
26. How did Gauguin feel about Van Gogh’s painting——the Sunflowers? ________.
A. Very bad B. Just soso
C. Rather worried D. Quite surprised
27. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that ________.
A. Van Gogh was not good at painting large Sunflowers
B. Van Gogh had much trouble in painting the Sunflowers
C. Van Gogh didn’t like his Sunflowers at all at that time
D. Van Gogh realized the Sunflowers would make him known

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了梵高的绘画作品《向日葵》的创作背景。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“he began painting sunflowers to brighten up the whitewashed walls of the yellow house he was living in”可知，他画向日葵是为他所居住的黄色房屋的白色粉刷墙壁增添色彩。因此梵高1888年画向日葵是为了装饰他的房子。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Gauguin accepted Van Gogh’s invitation. Gogh painted the last two of the four original Sunflowers for the modest bedroom where his guest would sleep following his arrival that autumn”可知，Gauguin接受了梵高的邀请。梵高为那间不起眼的卧室画了四个原始向日葵中的最后两个向日葵，他的客人那个秋天来到后就睡在这个卧室里。可知，梵高把最后两个向日葵画作放在了Gauguin的卧室里。故选B。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“According to Martin Gayford, “Gauguin was very surprised by the Sunflowers, which he repeatedly praised and asked for as a gift.”可知，据Martin Gayford说，Gauguin对向日葵感到非常惊讶，他一再赞美并索要它作为礼物。故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Van Gogh recognized at once that he had created something important and that his sunflowers were so different. This, in fact, explains the reason for the popularity of Van Gogh’s Sunflowers today.”可知，梵高意识到自己创造了一些重要的东西，而他的向日葵是如此的不同。这解释了梵高的向日葵今天流行的原因。因此梵高意识到向日葵会让他出名。故选D。

With the Chinese language becoming popular, the UK government plans to invest(投资) 10 million pounds to help more kids learn Mandarin (普通话). Do you think it is necessary for the UK pupils to learn Mandarin? Some people share their opinions online.
Tsd (UK): The learning of any language can be valuable and useful, but it is not suitable for everyone. Chinese is a difficult language to learn and the UK is said to be bad at learning foreign languages. Why should they learn Chinese when most people in the world speak English?
Mark (US): I studied French for 2 years in high school and German for 4 years in college. I studied Mandarin informally for about 4 months before moving to China. Now I speak Mandarin every day as my wife doesn’t speak English. But it is far from being fluent. Learning additional languages is a great thing, which offers a different view on the world around us. Nowadays, it’s almost necessary to be able to speak more than just your mother tongue.
George (UK) : No, unless they’re taught from a very early stage of childhood. Mandarin is so difficult. If China really is going to lead the world, it’ll have to do so by speaking the world ‘s leading language— English.
28. What is probably Mark’s main purpose of learning Chinese?
A. His frequent travel to China.
B. Further education in the future.
C. Effective communication with his family.
D. The official request of his company.
29 Tsd from UK disagrees to learn Chinese for some reasons except ________.
A. It is difficult to learn Chinese.
B. The people in the UK are not good foreign language learners.
C. English is the mostly spoken language.
D. China is not as developed a country as the UK.
30. What does George think of learning Chinese?
A. It’s of little use.
B. It’s unnecessary.
C. It takes too much time.
D. It’s not popular.
31. What seems to be the major problem when foreigners try to learn Chinese?
A. Its difficulty as a language.
B. Misunderstanding about China.
C. The great popularity of English.
D. No enough learning resources.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。随着中国影响力的逐步增强，普通话也正在逐渐走向世界。英国政府计划投资1000万英镑帮助更多的孩子学习普通话。有些人在网上分享他们的观点。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段Now I speak Mandarin every day as my wife doesn’t speak English. Nowadays, it’s almost necessary to be able to speak more than just your mother tongue.（现在我每天说普通话，因为我妻子不会说英语。如今，除了母语之外，能够说更多的语言几乎是必要的。）” 可推知Mark 学汉语的动机是为了有效的交流。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第二段“The learning of any language can be valuable and useful, but it is not suitable for everyone. Chinese is a difficult language to learn and the UK is said to be bad at learning foreign languages. Why should they learn Chinese when most people in the world speak English?任何语言的学习都可能是有价值和有用的，但它并不适合每个人。汉语是一种很难学的语言，而且据说英国不擅长学习外语。世界上大部分人都说英语，他们为什么要学中文？）”可知，D选项China is not as developed a country as the UK 未被提到，所以应except D, 故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“If China really is going to lead the world, it’ll have to do so by speaking the world ‘s leading language— English（如果中国真的要领导世界，它必须说世界上最主要的语言——英语）”可推知不必要学汉语，故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章中第二段“Chinese is a difficult language to learn （汉语是一门很难学的语言）可推断，外国人在尝试学中文时的主要问题在于中文太难学。故选A。

The tornadoes that recently struck the U.S. are some of the most destructive and deadly in history. The death in Kentucky, the hardest hit state, reached 80 on Monday, with dozens still unaccounted for. The scale of destruction and timing of the tornadoes so late in the year — most tornadoes occur in the spring and summer — is fueling discussion about how climate change may have influenced this deadly disaster.
“In my 40 years as a meteorologist (气象学家), this was one of the most shocking weather events I’ve ever witnessed,” says Jeff Masters, at Yale Climate Connections. “Watching these storms on Friday night, my thought was, ‘Is no season safe?’ Extreme tornadoes in December. That was mind blowing to me.”
Unlike heat waves and floods, the link between a wanning world and tornadoes is complex and uncertain. Scientists have several theories about how tornado behavior may change. Tornadoes in December are possible. But it remains to be seen whether climate change will strengthen or increase the frequency of tornadoes.
According to NOAA’s data, there has been a recorded increase in the number of observed tornadoes since 1950, which experts believe is largely due to better technology such as Doppler radar. There’s been no observed increase in the frequency of major tornadoes over time. For example, 59 of the most severe F5 tornadoes in the U.S. have occurred since 1950. But if the storm that destroyed Kentucky turns out to have been an F5, it will have been the first since 2013 — bringing to an end the longest recorded period so far.
Nevertheless, “given the general influence of global warming on the atmosphere, it makes sense that it should be having an impact on tornadoes too,” says Victor Gensini, an extreme weather expert at Northern Illinois University. “Instead of asking: ‘Did climate change cause this tornado?’ It’s better to operate under the assumption that climate change did play a role,” he says.
While the science on climate change and tornadoes isn’t clear, meteorologists are predicting that conditions benefiting tornadoes will continue this month. “I’m worried about the rest of the year to be honest. I don’t think we’re out of the woods yet.” Gensini says.
32. What is one difference between the recent tornadoes and the ones in the past?
A. They hit only Kentucky. B. They happened in December.
C. They caused no deaths. D. They caught people unprepared.
33. What can be inferred in paragraph 3?
A. Waves and floods often follow tornadoes.
B. There is an agreement on how tornadoes may change.
C. Climate change will make tornadoes the most deadly disaster.
D. Scientists are unsure about how climate change influences tornadoes.
34. Which statement may Victor Gensini agree with?
A. The climate change most likely has an effect on tornadoes.
B. The tornadoes have nothing to do with climate warming.
C. The science on climate change is advancing very quickly.
D. The climate change will make tornadoes much less frequent.
35. What does the underlined phrase “out of the woods” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Out of forest. B. Out of difficulty.
C. Out of danger. D. Out of question.
【答案】32 B 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了美国最近遭受了历史上最具破坏性和致命性的龙卷风的袭击，专家认为美国近年来频发的龙卷风可能与气候变化相关。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段中的“The scale of destruction and timing of the tornadoes so late in the year — most tornadoes occur in the spring and summer (今年晚些时候龙卷风的破坏规模和发生时间——大多数龙卷风发生在春季和夏季)”和第二段中的“‘Watching these storms on Friday night, my thought was, ‘Is no season safe?’ Extreme tornadoes in December. That was mind blowing to me.’(“周五晚上看到这些风暴，我的想法是，‘没有季节安全吗？’12月的极端龙卷风。这让我大吃一惊。”)”可知，过去龙卷风发生在春季和夏季，而最近的龙卷风发生在12月。故选B项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段中的“Scientists have several theories about how tornado behavior may change. (科学家们对龙卷风轨迹可能如何改变有几种理论)”和“But it remains to be seen whether climate change will strengthen or increase the frequency of tornadoes. (但气候变化是否会加强或增加龙卷风的频率还有待观察)”可得出，科学家对龙卷风轨迹怎样变化没有定论，不确定气候变化如何影响龙卷风。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。由倒数第二段“Nevertheless, “given the general influence of global warming on the atmosphere, it makes sense that it should be having an impact on tornadoes too,” says Victor Gensini, an extreme weather expert at Northern Illinois University. “Instead of asking: ‘Did climate change cause this tornado?’ It’s better to operate under the assumption that climate change did play a role,” he says. (然而，北伊利诺伊大学极端天气专家维克多·根西尼说，“考虑到全球变暖对大气的普遍影响，全球变暖也应该对龙卷风产生影响是有道理的。”“与其问：‘气候变化导致了这次龙卷风吗？’不如假设气候变化确实起了作用，”他说)”可知， Victor Gensini认为气候变化很可能对龙卷风产生影响。故选A项。
【35题详解】
词句猜测题。由最后一段“While the science on climate change and tornadoes isn’t clear, meteorologists are predicting that conditions benefiting tornadoes will continue this month. “I’m worried about the rest of the year to be honest. I don’t think we’re out of the woods yet.” Gensini says. (虽然气候变化和龙卷风的科学研究尚不清楚，但气象学家预测，本月有利于龙卷风的条件将继续存在。“老实说，我担心今年剩下的时间。我认为我们还未out of the woods。”根西尼说)”可知，本月可能还会发生龙卷风，Gensini很担心，觉得人们还未摆脱龙卷风的危险，out of the woods在此处意为“out of danger (脱离危险)”。故选C项。

考查时态语态。句意：事实上，在过去的几十年里，人们采取了许多措施来保护老虎。根据上文over the last few decades可知应用现在完成时，steps和take之间是被动关系，应用现在完成时的被动语态，主语是复数，故填have been taken。
【60题详解】
考查冠词。句意：野生动物保护协会（WCS）成立于21世纪初，旨在保护野生动物及其栖息地。短语in the early 2000s表示“在21世纪初”。故填the。
【61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：2010年，WCS启动了“永远的老虎”项目，其目标是在未来10年将世界上老虎的数量增加50%。非限制性定语从句修饰先行词Tigers Forever，从句中缺少定语，故用关系代词whose引导。故填whose。
【62题详解】
考查介词。句意：2010年，WCS启动了“永远的老虎”项目，其目标是在未来10年将世界上老虎的数量增加50%。短语increase by表示“增加……”。故填by。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：为了实现他们的目标，他们不仅与政府合作，还与其他组织合作，保护老虎和其他野生物种。分析句子结构可知achieve在句中应用非谓语动词形式，此处作目的状语应用不定式，句首单词首字母要大写。故填To achieve。
【64题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：为了实现他们的目标，他们不仅与政府合作，还与其他组织合作，保护老虎和其他野生物种。句型not only…but (also)…表示“不仅……而且……”。故填but。
【65题详解】
考查比较级。句意：多亏了WCS的辛勤工作，这些大型猫科动物在自然环境中比以往任何时候都有更好的生存机会，而不仅仅是在动物园里。根据后文than ever可知应用比较级。故填better。

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One day, Barton, who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door, found that he only had one coin left. He was hungry so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.
However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman named Whitney opened the door. He changed his mind and asked for a cup of water instead of a meal. Whitney thought Barton looked hungry, so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?”
“You don't owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Barton left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but also increased his faith in God and humans. He was about to give up and quit before this point.
Years later Whitney became critically ill. Her husband, who took care of her, could not go out to work, and her poor son had to drop out of school because of being unable to afford his school tuition. He had to pick up coal in a mine near his home. Then he sold all the coal he collected for a few coins to help his parents. Fortunately, their neighbors often brought food and medicine to them, enabling them to survive the hardship of life. Besides, they also raised money for her from a fundraiser on the Internet. People donate money for her in banks, by phone using a credit card and online.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右。
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Having recognized Whitney from the pictures posted online, Barton drove to her home immediately.

Tears of joy flooded Whitney's eyes.
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Having recognized Whitney from the pictures posted online, Barton drove to her home immediately. Without any hesitation, Barton sent her to a famous hospital in the big city, where he worked as a doctor. In spite of a hard day’s work, he studied her rare disease late into the night. Besides, he gave special attention to her case. After a long struggle, the battle was won. When Whitney came back to life, she found herself surrounded by many people including Barton.
Paragraph 2:
Tears of joy flooded Whitney’s eyes. However, she always worried the final bill because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Days later, the bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words: “Paid in full with a glass of milk.” (Signed) Dr. Barton. What she had seen touched her greatly and prayed silently: “Thank You, God. Your love has spread through human hearts and hands.”
