M: Sounds awesome. Now I wish I could come visit you!

W: Well, I live near a small town. Although lots of young people there love clothes, there’s hardly anywhere we can buy the latest clothes. I felt we all needed somewhere to find out more about that, so that gave me the idea.
M: And you recently produced an amazing dress for a student clothes show, didn’t you?
W: Oh, yes! My friends tried to copy dresses on film stars from different designers. But I just achieved a great success in the one that I made from my mom’s old curtains!

W: It’s wonderful! I mean, I don’t get a camera at the moment, so I don’t get great photos of the models, but it’s just such an exciting place to be. And the models look great, although I’d love to know what they really think about the clothes.
M: And what do your parents think about your blog?
W: Well, I was worried they’d be against it. But they soon realized just how much I loved it, so now they’re happy for me.
M: Thanks, Vicky!

The office is open, however, and phones are answered between 9:00 and 5:00 daily. Please ring between those times if you need to speak to someone. You will now hear some recorded information about the museum. Following the success of last year’s special exhibition on clothes in the eighteenth century, we are pleased to announce that there will soon be another special exhibition at the museum. It will show the diet and eating habits of both the rich and poor members of eighteenth-century society. The exhibition will be open to visitors from the beginning of July to the end of September. It contains exhibits that have been collected from all over the world, although there is a special focus on the local area. The easiest way to reach Cornford Museum is by underground as the museum is right beside the underground station. You can also get here by bus or car. But the bus stop is 200 meters from the museum. Besides, the traffic is always heavy outside the museum. The museum has a popular cafe serving hamburgers and cold drinks. There is also a gift shop selling souvenirs about the special exhibition.

4 of the Best Cycling Holiday Destinations in Europe
European cycling holidays provide some of the best experiences you can have on two wheels. Come and join us!
Girona, Spain
Girona is surrounded by wonderful and easily accessible cycle routes that pretty much offer any riding you would ever need or want. The traffic-free roads mean that there is little trouble in getting out of the town and into the hills. Girona’s old town itself is a beauty and with plenty of places serving great food and great coffee, there’s a certain magic to the place.
Algarve, Portugal
Portugal is a cycling destination that has grown very popular thanks to the large variety of roads in the country. Not only are there plenty of climbs but also a lot of rolling roads to test yourself on. The terrain is similar to what you’ll find in the most popular cycling regions, but Portugal just feels little bit less mainstream. Away from the bike, there is also plenty of tasty food and local wines to try.
Northern Scotland, UK
One of the best places to tour in all of Europe is in fact Scotland. Particularly adventurous cyclists can take advantage of Scotland’s rules on wild camping— Scottish law allows members of the public the right to roam, while English law does not. It’s a totally free way to explore a place and Scotland might just be one of the best ones to do it because of the beautiful scenery.
Julian Alps, Slovenia
Slovenia is quite new when it comes to comparing with other European cycling destinations. A great destination for mountain bikers and road cyclists as well, the country has plenty of off-road routes and roads that take you high up into the Julian Alps. It’s no surprise once you’ve come here you’ll find that the country does very well in producing world class bike racers.
21. What do Girona, Spain and Algarve, Portugal have in common?
A. They are fit for travelling with families. B. They are suitable for cycling and climbing.
C. They both have wonderful off-road routes. D. They both serve delicious food to tourists.
22. Which cycling holiday destination is your best choice if you love adventure?
A. Girona, Spain. B. Algarve, Portugal.
C. Northern Scotland, UK. D. Julian Alps, Slovenia.
23. What is special about Julian Alps, Slovenia?
A. It’s completely traffic-free. B. It has many world class cyclists.
C. It has a very long history. D. It has plenty of rural landscapes.
【答案】21. D 22. C 23. B
【解析】

【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Girona, Spain部分中的“Girona’s old town itself is a beauty and with plenty of places serving great food and great coffee, there’s a certain magic to the place.( Girona的老城区本身就是一个美丽的地方，有很多地方提供美味的食物和美味的咖啡，这个地方有一种魔力。)”和Algarve, Portugal部分中的“Away from the bike, there is also plenty of tasty food and local wines to try.(除了自行车，还有很多美味的食物和当地的葡萄酒可供尝试。)”可知，这个自行车度假目的地都给游客们提供美味的食物。故选D项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Northern Scotland, UK 部分中的“Particularly adventurous cyclists can take advantage of Scotland’s rules on wild camping— Scottish law allows members of the public the right to roam, while English law does not.(特别喜欢冒险的自行车手可以利用苏格兰关于野外露营的规定——苏格兰法律允许公众有权在野外露营，而英格兰法律则不允许。)”可知，喜欢冒险的自行车手可以利用苏格兰关于野外露营的规定，所以要是喜欢冒险，可以去Northern Scotland, UK。故选C项。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据Julian Alps, Slovenia部分中的“It’s no surprise once you’ve come here you’ll find that the country does very well in producing world class bike racers.(一旦你来到这里，你会发现这个国家在培养世界级的自行车赛车手方面做得很好，这一点也不奇怪。)”可知，看到斯洛文尼亚培养出世界级的自行车赛手一点都不奇怪，由此可知，Julian Alps, Slovenia的特别之处在于它有很多的世界级自行车赛手。故选B项。
B
Rinzin Phunjok Lama was 16 when he first saw a Himalayan snow leopard (雪豹) wandering in the mountains near his home in northeastern Nepal—an experience that changed his life. In the folklore (传说) of Lama’s community, snow leopards reveal themselves only when humans disturb the natural order. At that moment Lama says he recognized that his homeland was in danger.
Lama, now 30, has since devoted his life to wildlife conservation. Unlike thousands of young Nepalese who leave rural areas in search of work, Lama returned to his home in Humla after graduating from college with a forestry degree. Even in this remote corner of Nepal, the effects of climate change are clear, with ancient water sources drying up and once snow-capped mountains left bare.
Lama leads a team of trained conservationists who work to engage the community. They document and track threatened and endangered wildlife, facilitate workshops where local people share their knowledge of the landscape and run clubs for children to learn about conservation from an early age.
What makes Lamas project unique is that it’s driven entirely by the people it serves. Outsiders have previously brought sustainability efforts to the region and failed to make a lasting impact because they often did not understand the local culture, Lama says. “Gaining community trust should be the first step,” he says.
One challenge to that has been high levels of food insecurity and poverty (贫困) in the area, which makes it harder to convince people that conservation should be a priority. To show that it’s possible to obtain benefits from the land without harming it, Lama’s team has launched programs teaching beekeeping or helping locals to sell handmade artworks. “The people leading this project are from here,” he says. “There can be no prouder moment than this for us.”
24. What does the appearance of snow leopards show traditionally?
A. Their increasing number. B. People acting against nature.
C. Their natural enemies becoming more. D. People’s lives being disturbed by wildlife.
25. Why do Lama’s team members start the clubs?
A. To find jobs for young Nepalese. B. To know more about the local landscape.
C. To equip kids with conservation knowledge. D. To track threatened and endangered wildlife.
26. What distinguishes Lama’s project from others?
A. Its initial intention. B. Its funding sources.
C. The commitment of its team. D. The support from the community.
27. How does Lama’s team respond to the challenge?
A. By selling their handmade artworks.
B. By bringing back beekeeping traditions.
C. By choosing project leaders from among the locals.
D. By providing locals with various money-making methods.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了现年30岁的尼泊尔Lama一直都致力于野生动物保护。他领导着一队训练有素的自然资源保护主义者，致力于与社区合作来保护濒危的野生动物。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“In the folklore (传说) of Lama’s community, snow leopards reveal themselves only when humans disturb the natural order. (在Lama社区的民间传说中，雪豹只有在人类扰乱自然秩序时才会现身。)”可知，传说，雪豹在人类扰乱自然秩序时才会现身，故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“They document and track threatened and endangered wildlife, facilitate workshops where local people share their knowledge of the landscape and run clubs for children to learn about conservation from an early age. (他们记录和跟踪受到威胁和濒危的野生动物，为当地人分享自然景观知识的研讨会提供便利，并为儿童开办俱乐部，让他们从小就了解自然保护知识。)”可知，Lama团队成员开办俱乐部是为了让孩子们了解自然保护知识。故选C。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。倒数第二段中“What makes Lamas project unique is that it’s driven entirely by the people it serves. (Lamas项目的独特之处在于它完全由它所服务的人来组织。)”和““Gaining community trust should be the first step,” he says. (“赢得社区的信任应该是第一步，”他说。)”可知，Lama的项目与其他项目的不同之处在于，它有社区的支持，故选D。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“To show that it’s possible to obtain benefits from the land without harming it, Lama’s team has launched programs teaching beekeeping or helping locals to sell handmade artworks. “The people leading this project are from here,” he says. (为了证明从这片土地上获得利益而不伤害它是可能的，Lama的团队已经启动了一些教授养蜂或帮助当地人出售手工艺品的项目。)”可知，Lama的团队通过为当地人提供各种赚钱方法来应对挑战，故选D。
C
Studies have been done on the connection between humor and genes. The most common ones involved researchers observing the same twins and looking at how genes affect their sense of humor. There was a study with 390 adult twins who were asked to rate 48 cartoons of different humor varieties based on how funny they found them. The conclusion was that environmental influences played a more important role in what the twins found funny than genetics.
However, there is more to be said about this topic. A recent study proved a clear connection between genetics and emotions like laughter. This study tested 336 adults by showing them funny clips from movies and humorous comics. Researchers then examined the gene and positive emotional expressions, which they referred to as laughing and smiling. And even though the research has collected evidence on how there can be a connection between laughing and smiling behaviors and genes, we still need more similar studies before considering the results as a fact.
While genetics play an important role in the formation of many character traits, our sense of humor is too complex to be attributed to one factor. Moreover, your sense of humor can change throughout your whole life, which is why simplifying humor and basing it only on genetics isn’t reliable.
When we’re young, we learn to talk and do regular activities by observing people and things around us. While growing up, you are exposed to jokes that people around you make and find funny. You will pick up behavioral signs and develop your sense of humor based on all of that. It’s not a surprise that your sense of humor is based on the sense of humor of the people you grew up with, rather than on the genes of your ancestors.
Our sense of humor is a subjective field that depends on social factors, such as the influence of your family and friends, social circle, upbringing in a particular country and culture, etc. For that reason, it doesn’t mean that you will be humorous just because your parents or grandparents are funny.
28. What was found in the study about twins?
A. Humor wasn’t related to genes.
B. Environment mattered more than genes in humor.
C. The twins’ humor was mainly affected by genes.
D. The twins rated similarly about cartoons.
29. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. More research is needed to confirm the recent study result.
B. There is no connection between genes and positive emotions.
C. The recent study tested 336 adult twins by showing them funny clips.
D The research proved the connection between laughing behaviors and smiling behaviors.
30. Which of the following may the author probably agree with?
A. The sense of humor is just decided by one factor.
B. The sense of humor can’t change once developed.
C. The sense of humor can be obtained by observing and following others.
D. The sense of humor is a relatively simple one of people’s all character traits.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Can you be born humorous? B. Is humor a necessity?
C. Can you develop your humor? D. Is being humorous beneficial?
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人们对幽默和基因之间的关系进行了研究。结论是，环境影响在双胞胎发现有趣的方面比遗传因素起着更重要的作用。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The conclusion was that environmental influences played a more important role in what the twins found funny than genetics.”（结论是，环境影响在双胞胎发现有趣的方面比遗传因素起着更重要的作用。）可知，关于双胞胎的研究发现了环境对幽默的影响比基因更大。故选B项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“And even though the research has collected evidence on how there can be a connection between laughing and smiling behaviors and genes, we still need more similar studies before considering the results as a fact.”（尽管这项研究已经收集了大笑和微笑行为与基因之间存在联系的证据，但在将结果视为事实之前，我们仍然需要更多类似的研究。）可推知，从第二段我们能了解到需要更多的研究来证实最近的研究结果。故选A项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“When we’re young, we learn to talk and do regular activities by observing people and things around us. While growing up, you are exposed to jokes that people around you make and find funny. You will pick up behavioral signs and develop your sense of humor based on all of that. It’s not a surprise that your sense of humor is based on the sense of humor of the people you grew up with, rather than on the genes of your ancestors.”（当我们年轻的时候，我们通过观察周围的人和事来学习说话和做有规律的活动。在成长的过程中，你会接触到周围人的笑话，并觉得很有趣。你会发现一些行为迹象，并以此为基础发展你的幽默感。你的幽默感是基于和你一起长大的人的幽默感，而不是基于你祖先的基因，这并不奇怪。）可知，作者可能会同意的是幽默感可以通过观察和跟随他人获得。故选C项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Studies have been done on the connection between humor and genes. The most common ones involved researchers observing the same twins and looking at how genes affect their sense of humor. There was a study with 390 adult twins who were asked to rate 48 cartoons of different humor varieties based on how funny they found them. The conclusion was that environmental influences played a more important role in what the twins found funny than genetics.”（人们对幽默和基因之间的关系进行了研究。最常见的是研究人员观察同一批双胞胎，观察基因是如何影响他们的幽默感的。有一项针对390对成年双胞胎的研究，他们被要求对48部不同幽默类型的漫画进行评分，根据他们觉得这些漫画有多有趣。结论是，环境影响在双胞胎发现有趣的方面比遗传因素起着更重要的作用。）可知，文章主要讲的是幽默可能并不是与天俱来的，研究结论表明，环境影响在双胞胎发现有趣的方面比遗传因素起着更重要的作用。故文章最好的标题是“你能天生幽默吗？”。故选A项。
D
The scholars at Yale University have been carrying out a study of more than 10,000 cadets(学员) at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point to determine the relative success of those who were motivated by internal rewards versus(与…相对) those driven by “instrumental”, or external rewards.
They assumed that some combination of internal and external motives would lead to the most success, as measured by the officers’ willingness to stay beyond the five-year commitment to the Army and to graduate and become commissioned officers. In fact, they found that cadets who expressed the most internal motivation were more successful than those who showed mixed motives to serve.
The same subtle(微妙的) interplay between motivation and rewards is also at work when it comes to education and learning. Rewarding students for getting their schoolwork done with prizes, snacks and even grades, as most schools do, can have the unintended effect of dismantling a child’s drive to learn for its own good.
“When you hold a burger in front of kids’ noses, you are telling them what kind of consequence matters, and what motive to pay attention to, “says psychology professor Barry Schwartz.” And education will suffer.”
Randy Wallock, a seventh-grade language arts teacher in New Jersey, encourages learning for its own good among his students: They’re given choice and autonomy and the freedom to work at their own pace. He also tries to build what he calls “little cultures within the classroom to encourage learning”; teenagers are responsive to social expectations, and creating environments where curiosity is cool invites more self-directed learning.
“As a teacher, you have a choice of what you respond to,” says Amy Wrzesniewski, an associate professor at Yale University. “Do you pay attention to students who have their laptops out, or do you pay attention to students who are asking intelligent questions?” she asks. Making those kids who ask intelligent questions feel “valued, responded to and celebrated,” she says, brings more of that out in others.
Schwartz agrees, but warns that sending out these kinds of signals must be done slowly and subtly. He adds, “You have to be careful you’re not making this another instrumental reward.”
32. Who turned out to be the most successful?
A. Those driven by external rewards. B. Those motivated by internal forces.
C. Those expressing mixed motives. D. Those providing more external motivation.
33. What does the underlined word “dismantling” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Understanding. B. Wasting. C. Including. D. Ruining
34. What does Randy Wallock stress in paragraph 5?
A. Approaches to motivating students to learn. B. How to adapt to classroom environments.
C. The importance of awakening teenagers’ curiosity. D. How to make lessons attractive to students.
35. How does Schwartz react to Wrzesniewski’s words?
A. He regards them as abstract. B. He thinks they lack evidence.
C. He voices some concern for them. D. He considers them unfair to some kids.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。耶鲁大学的学者们对西点军校的10000多名学员进行了一项研究，以确定那些受到内在回报激励的学员与那些受到“工具性”或外部奖励驱动的学员的相对成功程度，研究认为应激发学生内在的学习动机。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In fact, they found that cadets who expressed the most internal motivation were more successful than those who showed mixed motives to serve.(事实上，他们发现，最能表现出内在动机的学员比表现出两种动机都有的学员更成功)”可知，受内部动机驱动的学员最能成功，故选B项。
【33题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“Rewarding students for getting their schoolwork done with prizes, snacks and even grades, as most schools do, can have the unintended effect(像大多数学校一样，用奖品、零食甚至成绩来奖励完成学业的学生，可能会产生意料之外的效果)”以及下文“a child’s drive to learn for its own good.(孩子为自己而学习的动力)”可知此处上下文说的是通过外部奖励激励学生，会产生意料之外的效果，这说明会导致不好的结果，即破坏孩子学习的内在动机，由此可知，划线单词意为“破坏”，与D项“Ruining(毁坏)”意思一样，故选D项。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“Randy Wallock, a seventh-grade language arts teacher in New Jersey, encourages learning for its own good among his students: They’re given choice and autonomy and the freedom to work at their own pace. He also tries to build what he calls “little cultures within the classroom to encourage learning”; teenagers are responsive to social expectations, and creating environments where curiosity is cool invites more self-directed learning.(兰迪·沃洛克是新泽西州的一名七年级语言艺术教师，他鼓励学生们为了自己的利益而学习: 他们有选择权、自主权和按照自己的节奏学习的自由。他还试图建立他所谓的“课堂内的小文化来鼓励学习”；青少年对社会期望有反应，创造一个好奇心冷静的环境可以吸引更多的自主学习。)”可知，Randy Wallock在第五段强调了激发学生学习动机的方法，故选A项。

67. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
“Good morning, everybody,” Mrs. Harris greeted the students as she entered the music room. The 65-year-old music teacher had a reputation for being strict in class, despite music seeming like a light subject. But Mrs. Harris took her job seriously, and teaching music was a massive passion for her.
She walked to the piano and started leading the students into a song to get them warmed up. This semester, she was going to teach them about composition and songwriting. Suddenly, one student raised her hand.
“Mrs. Harris, what do you like to listen to in your leisure time?” she asked curiously.
“I bet she listens to Beethoven and Tchaikovsky at home,” another student said.
“But I actually like a lot of pop music, and even some of the things you, young people, listen to nowadays. But I must admit that I listen to a lot of old songs, especially Paul McCartney,” Mrs. Harris answered, smiling at the kids.
Soon enough, the students got used to her, and some started taking her lessons more seriously. Others still liked to be playful, but she wasn’t truly mad at them.
However, the worst was yet to happen. Her husband suddenly died in the middle of the school year, and she didn’t have the heart to go to work. Fortunately, the school was accommodating. They gave her some well-deserved time off.
At first, she was like a zombie(迟钝无生气的人) at home, lying in bed all day. She didn’t even listen to music anymore. But when her daughter encouraged her to start playing tunes once again, she began to play again until she decided to return to school.
She called the headmaster, letting him know she was ready to get back to normal, even if the love of her life was gone.
“Good morning, everyone,” she began upon entering the classroom for the first time since her husband’s death. She placed her things on her desk and started to speak again. “Before we begin, I want to apologize…”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答

But before she could go on, the sound of notes being played cut her off.

Paragraph 2:
Her students approached her one by one.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】But before she could go on, the sound of notes being played cut her off. She watched the students as they held up their instruments and played a beautiful tune for her. Wonderful notes filled the classroom, and she recognized the song immediately. It was one of Paul McCartney’s most famous songs, also her favorite. Mrs. Harris understood immediately that her students knew what had happened to her. They were giving her a gift she would never forget. Tears filled her eyes as they finished the song, and she had to take a seat to take it all in. (84 words)
Her students approached her one by one. They offered their comfort, and the girls hugged her tightly. She could only thank them for their kindness as tears flowed down her face. After a few minutes, she wiped her tears. “OK. Let’s get back to work!” she said, her voice still emotional. But her words made everyone laugh. They knew their strict teacher was back, and it made them happy. As for Mrs. Harris, she further realized that music was also the other love of her life, and teaching was her life’s purpose. (85 words)

M: And you recently produced an amazing dress for a student clothes show, didn’t you?

M: And what do your parents think about your blog?
W: Well, I was worried they’d be against it. But they soon realized just how much I loved it, so now they’re happy for me.
M: Thanks, Vicky!

The office is open, however, and phones are answered between 9:00 and 5:00 daily. Please ring between those times if you need to speak to someone. You will now hear some recorded information about the museum. Following the success of last year’s special exhibition on clothes in the eighteenth century, we are pleased to announce that there will soon be another special exhibition at the museum. It will show the diet and eating habits of both the rich and poor members of eighteenth-century society. The exhibition will be open to visitors from the beginning of July to the end of September. It contains exhibits that have been collected from all over the world, although there is a special focus on the local area. The easiest way to reach Cornford Museum is by underground as the museum is right beside the underground station. You can also get here by bus or car. But the bus stop is 200 meters from the museum. Besides, the traffic is always heavy outside the museum. The museum has a popular cafe serving hamburgers and cold drinks. There is also a gift shop selling souvenirs about the special exhibition.

4 of the Best Cycling Holiday Destinations in Europe
European cycling holidays provide some of the best experiences you can have on two wheels. Come and join us!
Girona, Spain
Girona is surrounded by wonderful and easily accessible cycle routes that pretty much offer any riding you would ever need or want. The traffic-free roads mean that there is little trouble in getting out of the town and into the hills. Girona’s old town itself is a beauty and with plenty of places serving great food and great coffee, there’s a certain magic to the place.
Algarve, Portugal
Portugal is a cycling destination that has grown very popular thanks to the large variety of roads in the country. Not only are there plenty of climbs but also a lot of rolling roads to test yourself on. The terrain is similar to what you’ll find in the most popular cycling regions, but Portugal just feels little bit less mainstream. Away from the bike, there is also plenty of tasty food and local wines to try.
Northern Scotland, UK
One of the best places to tour in all of Europe is in fact Scotland. Particularly adventurous cyclists can take advantage of Scotland’s rules on wild camping— Scottish law allows members of the public the right to roam, while English law does not. It’s a totally free way to explore a place and Scotland might just be one of the best ones to do it because of the beautiful scenery.
Julian Alps, Slovenia
Slovenia is quite new when it comes to comparing with other European cycling destinations. A great destination for mountain bikers and road cyclists as well, the country has plenty of off-road routes and roads that take you high up into the Julian Alps. It’s no surprise once you’ve come here you’ll find that the country does very well in producing world class bike racers.
21. What do Girona, Spain and Algarve, Portugal have in common?
A. They are fit for travelling with families. B. They are suitable for cycling and climbing.
C. They both have wonderful off-road routes. D. They both serve delicious food to tourists.
22. Which cycling holiday destination is your best choice if you love adventure?
A. Girona, Spain. B. Algarve, Portugal.
C. Northern Scotland, UK. D. Julian Alps, Slovenia.
23. What is special about Julian Alps, Slovenia?
A. It’s completely traffic-free. B. It has many world class cyclists.
C. It has a very long history. D. It has plenty of rural landscapes.
【答案】21. D 22. C 23. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍的是欧洲四个最佳自行车度假目的地。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Girona, Spain部分中的“Girona’s old town itself is a beauty and with plenty of places serving great food and great coffee, there’s a certain magic to the place.( Girona的老城区本身就是一个美丽的地方，有很多地方提供美味的食物和美味的咖啡，这个地方有一种魔力。)”和Algarve, Portugal部分中的“Away from the bike, there is also plenty of tasty food and local wines to try.(除了自行车，还有很多美味的食物和当地的葡萄酒可供尝试。)”可知，这个自行车度假目的地都给游客们提供美味的食物。故选D项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Northern Scotland, UK 部分中的“Particularly adventurous cyclists can take advantage of Scotland’s rules on wild camping— Scottish law allows members of the public the right to roam, while English law does not.(特别喜欢冒险的自行车手可以利用苏格兰关于野外露营的规定——苏格兰法律允许公众有权在野外露营，而英格兰法律则不允许。)”可知，喜欢冒险的自行车手可以利用苏格兰关于野外露营的规定，所以要是喜欢冒险，可以去Northern Scotland, UK。故选C项。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据Julian Alps, Slovenia部分中的“It’s no surprise once you’ve come here you’ll find that the country does very well in producing world class bike racers.(一旦你来到这里，你会发现这个国家在培养世界级的自行车赛车手方面做得很好，这一点也不奇怪。)”可知，看到斯洛文尼亚培养出世界级的自行车赛手一点都不奇怪，由此可知，Julian Alps, Slovenia的特别之处在于它有很多的世界级自行车赛手。故选B项。
B
Rinzin Phunjok Lama was 16 when he first saw a Himalayan snow leopard (雪豹) wandering in the mountains near his home in northeastern Nepal—an experience that changed his life. In the folklore (传说) of Lama’s community, snow leopards reveal themselves only when humans disturb the natural order. At that moment Lama says he recognized that his homeland was in danger.
Lama, now 30, has since devoted his life to wildlife conservation. Unlike thousands of young Nepalese who leave rural areas in search of work, Lama returned to his home in Humla after graduating from college with a forestry degree. Even in this remote corner of Nepal, the effects of climate change are clear, with ancient water sources drying up and once snow-capped mountains left bare.
Lama leads a team of trained conservationists who work to engage the community. They document and track threatened and endangered wildlife, facilitate workshops where local people share their knowledge of the landscape and run clubs for children to learn about conservation from an early age.
What makes Lamas project unique is that it’s driven entirely by the people it serves. Outsiders have previously brought sustainability efforts to the region and failed to make a lasting impact because they often did not understand the local culture, Lama says. “Gaining community trust should be the first step,” he says.
One challenge to that has been high levels of food insecurity and poverty (贫困) in the area, which makes it harder to convince people that conservation should be a priority. To show that it’s possible to obtain benefits from the land without harming it, Lama’s team has launched programs teaching beekeeping or helping locals to sell handmade artworks. “The people leading this project are from here,” he says. “There can be no prouder moment than this for us.”
24. What does the appearance of snow leopards show traditionally?
A. Their increasing number. B. People acting against nature.
C. Their natural enemies becoming more. D. People’s lives being disturbed by wildlife.
25. Why do Lama’s team members start the clubs?
A. To find jobs for young Nepalese. B. To know more about the local landscape.
C. To equip kids with conservation knowledge. D. To track threatened and endangered wildlife.
26. What distinguishes Lama’s project from others?
A. Its initial intention. B. Its funding sources.
C. The commitment of its team. D. The support from the community.
27. How does Lama’s team respond to the challenge?
A. By selling their handmade artworks.
B. By bringing back beekeeping traditions.
C. By choosing project leaders from among the locals.
D. By providing locals with various money-making methods.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了现年30岁的尼泊尔Lama一直都致力于野生动物保护。他领导着一队训练有素的自然资源保护主义者，致力于与社区合作来保护濒危的野生动物。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“In the folklore (传说) of Lama’s community, snow leopards reveal themselves only when humans disturb the natural order. (在Lama社区的民间传说中，雪豹只有在人类扰乱自然秩序时才会现身。)”可知，传说，雪豹在人类扰乱自然秩序时才会现身，故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“They document and track threatened and endangered wildlife, facilitate workshops where local people share their knowledge of the landscape and run clubs for children to learn about conservation from an early age. (他们记录和跟踪受到威胁和濒危的野生动物，为当地人分享自然景观知识的研讨会提供便利，并为儿童开办俱乐部，让他们从小就了解自然保护知识。)”可知，Lama团队成员开办俱乐部是为了让孩子们了解自然保护知识。故选C。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。倒数第二段中“What makes Lamas project unique is that it’s driven entirely by the people it serves. (Lamas项目的独特之处在于它完全由它所服务的人来组织。)”和““Gaining community trust should be the first step,” he says. (“赢得社区的信任应该是第一步，”他说。)”可知，Lama的项目与其他项目的不同之处在于，它有社区的支持，故选D。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“To show that it’s possible to obtain benefits from the land without harming it, Lama’s team has launched programs teaching beekeeping or helping locals to sell handmade artworks. “The people leading this project are from here,” he says. (为了证明从这片土地上获得利益而不伤害它是可能的，Lama的团队已经启动了一些教授养蜂或帮助当地人出售手工艺品的项目。)”可知，Lama的团队通过为当地人提供各种赚钱方法来应对挑战，故选D。

Studies have been done on the connection between humor and genes. The most common ones involved researchers observing the same twins and looking at how genes affect their sense of humor. There was a study with 390 adult twins who were asked to rate 48 cartoons of different humor varieties based on how funny they found them. The conclusion was that environmental influences played a more important role in what the twins found funny than genetics.
However, there is more to be said about this topic. A recent study proved a clear connection between genetics and emotions like laughter. This study tested 336 adults by showing them funny clips from movies and humorous comics. Researchers then examined the gene and positive emotional expressions, which they referred to as laughing and smiling. And even though the research has collected evidence on how there can be a connection between laughing and smiling behaviors and genes, we still need more similar studies before considering the results as a fact.
While genetics play an important role in the formation of many character traits, our sense of humor is too complex to be attributed to one factor. Moreover, your sense of humor can change throughout your whole life, which is why simplifying humor and basing it only on genetics isn’t reliable.
When we’re young, we learn to talk and do regular activities by observing people and things around us. While growing up, you are exposed to jokes that people around you make and find funny. You will pick up behavioral signs and develop your sense of humor based on all of that. It’s not a surprise that your sense of humor is based on the sense of humor of the people you grew up with, rather than on the genes of your ancestors.
Our sense of humor is a subjective field that depends on social factors, such as the influence of your family and friends, social circle, upbringing in a particular country and culture, etc. For that reason, it doesn’t mean that you will be humorous just because your parents or grandparents are funny.
28. What was found in the study about twins?
A. Humor wasn’t related to genes.
B. Environment mattered more than genes in humor.
C. The twins’ humor was mainly affected by genes.
D. The twins rated similarly about cartoons.
29. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. More research is needed to confirm the recent study result.
B. There is no connection between genes and positive emotions.
C. The recent study tested 336 adult twins by showing them funny clips.
D The research proved the connection between laughing behaviors and smiling behaviors.
30. Which of the following may the author probably agree with?
A. The sense of humor is just decided by one factor.
B. The sense of humor can’t change once developed.
C. The sense of humor can be obtained by observing and following others.
D. The sense of humor is a relatively simple one of people’s all character traits.
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Can you be born humorous? B. Is humor a necessity?
C. Can you develop your humor? D. Is being humorous beneficial?
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人们对幽默和基因之间的关系进行了研究。结论是，环境影响在双胞胎发现有趣的方面比遗传因素起着更重要的作用。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The conclusion was that environmental influences played a more important role in what the twins found funny than genetics.”（结论是，环境影响在双胞胎发现有趣的方面比遗传因素起着更重要的作用。）可知，关于双胞胎的研究发现了环境对幽默的影响比基因更大。故选B项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“And even though the research has collected evidence on how there can be a connection between laughing and smiling behaviors and genes, we still need more similar studies before considering the results as a fact.”（尽管这项研究已经收集了大笑和微笑行为与基因之间存在联系的证据，但在将结果视为事实之前，我们仍然需要更多类似的研究。）可推知，从第二段我们能了解到需要更多的研究来证实最近的研究结果。故选A项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“When we’re young, we learn to talk and do regular activities by observing people and things around us. While growing up, you are exposed to jokes that people around you make and find funny. You will pick up behavioral signs and develop your sense of humor based on all of that. It’s not a surprise that your sense of humor is based on the sense of humor of the people you grew up with, rather than on the genes of your ancestors.”（当我们年轻的时候，我们通过观察周围的人和事来学习说话和做有规律的活动。在成长的过程中，你会接触到周围人的笑话，并觉得很有趣。你会发现一些行为迹象，并以此为基础发展你的幽默感。你的幽默感是基于和你一起长大的人的幽默感，而不是基于你祖先的基因，这并不奇怪。）可知，作者可能会同意的是幽默感可以通过观察和跟随他人获得。故选C项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Studies have been done on the connection between humor and genes. The most common ones involved researchers observing the same twins and looking at how genes affect their sense of humor. There was a study with 390 adult twins who were asked to rate 48 cartoons of different humor varieties based on how funny they found them. The conclusion was that environmental influences played a more important role in what the twins found funny than genetics.”（人们对幽默和基因之间的关系进行了研究。最常见的是研究人员观察同一批双胞胎，观察基因是如何影响他们的幽默感的。有一项针对390对成年双胞胎的研究，他们被要求对48部不同幽默类型的漫画进行评分，根据他们觉得这些漫画有多有趣。结论是，环境影响在双胞胎发现有趣的方面比遗传因素起着更重要的作用。）可知，文章主要讲的是幽默可能并不是与天俱来的，研究结论表明，环境影响在双胞胎发现有趣的方面比遗传因素起着更重要的作用。故文章最好的标题是“你能天生幽默吗？”。故选A项。
D
The scholars at Yale University have been carrying out a study of more than 10,000 cadets(学员) at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point to determine the relative success of those who were motivated by internal rewards versus(与…相对) those driven by “instrumental”, or external rewards.
They assumed that some combination of internal and external motives would lead to the most success, as measured by the officers’ willingness to stay beyond the five-year commitment to the Army and to graduate and become commissioned officers. In fact, they found that cadets who expressed the most internal motivation were more successful than those who showed mixed motives to serve.
The same subtle(微妙的) interplay between motivation and rewards is also at work when it comes to education and learning. Rewarding students for getting their schoolwork done with prizes, snacks and even grades, as most schools do, can have the unintended effect of dismantling a child’s drive to learn for its own good.
“When you hold a burger in front of kids’ noses, you are telling them what kind of consequence matters, and what motive to pay attention to, “says psychology professor Barry Schwartz.” And education will suffer.”
Randy Wallock, a seventh-grade language arts teacher in New Jersey, encourages learning for its own good among his students: They’re given choice and autonomy and the freedom to work at their own pace. He also tries to build what he calls “little cultures within the classroom to encourage learning”; teenagers are responsive to social expectations, and creating environments where curiosity is cool invites more self-directed learning.
“As a teacher, you have a choice of what you respond to,” says Amy Wrzesniewski, an associate professor at Yale University. “Do you pay attention to students who have their laptops out, or do you pay attention to students who are asking intelligent questions?” she asks. Making those kids who ask intelligent questions feel “valued, responded to and celebrated,” she says, brings more of that out in others.
Schwartz agrees, but warns that sending out these kinds of signals must be done slowly and subtly. He adds, “You have to be careful you’re not making this another instrumental reward.”
32. Who turned out to be the most successful?
A. Those driven by external rewards. B. Those motivated by internal forces.
C. Those expressing mixed motives. D. Those providing more external motivation.
33. What does the underlined word “dismantling” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Understanding. B. Wasting. C. Including. D. Ruining
34. What does Randy Wallock stress in paragraph 5?
A. Approaches to motivating students to learn. B. How to adapt to classroom environments.
C. The importance of awakening teenagers’ curiosity. D. How to make lessons attractive to students.
35. How does Schwartz react to Wrzesniewski’s words?
A. He regards them as abstract. B. He thinks they lack evidence.
C. He voices some concern for them. D. He considers them unfair to some kids.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。耶鲁大学的学者们对西点军校的10000多名学员进行了一项研究，以确定那些受到内在回报激励的学员与那些受到“工具性”或外部奖励驱动的学员的相对成功程度，研究认为应激发学生内在的学习动机。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In fact, they found that cadets who expressed the most internal motivation were more successful than those who showed mixed motives to serve.(事实上，他们发现，最能表现出内在动机的学员比表现出两种动机都有的学员更成功)”可知，受内部动机驱动的学员最能成功，故选B项。
【33题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“Rewarding students for getting their schoolwork done with prizes, snacks and even grades, as most schools do, can have the unintended effect(像大多数学校一样，用奖品、零食甚至成绩来奖励完成学业的学生，可能会产生意料之外的效果)”以及下文“a child’s drive to learn for its own good.(孩子为自己而学习的动力)”可知此处上下文说的是通过外部奖励激励学生，会产生意料之外的效果，这说明会导致不好的结果，即破坏孩子学习的内在动机，由此可知，划线单词意为“破坏”，与D项“Ruining(毁坏)”意思一样，故选D项。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“Randy Wallock, a seventh-grade language arts teacher in New Jersey, encourages learning for its own good among his students: They’re given choice and autonomy and the freedom to work at their own pace. He also tries to build what he calls “little cultures within the classroom to encourage learning”; teenagers are responsive to social expectations, and creating environments where curiosity is cool invites more self-directed learning.(兰迪·沃洛克是新泽西州的一名七年级语言艺术教师，他鼓励学生们为了自己的利益而学习: 他们有选择权、自主权和按照自己的节奏学习的自由。他还试图建立他所谓的“课堂内的小文化来鼓励学习”；青少年对社会期望有反应，创造一个好奇心冷静的环境可以吸引更多的自主学习。)”可知，Randy Wallock在第五段强调了激发学生学习动机的方法，故选A项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Schwartz agrees, but warns that sending out these kinds of signals must be done slowly and subtly. He adds, “You have to be careful you’re not making this another instrumental reward.”(施瓦茨对此表示赞同，但他警告说，发出这些信号必须缓慢而微妙。他补充道，“你必须小心，不要让这成为另一种工具性的奖励。”)”可推知，对于Wrzesniewski的话，Schwartz表达出了一些担忧，故选C项。

67. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
“Good morning, everybody,” Mrs. Harris greeted the students as she entered the music room. The 65-year-old music teacher had a reputation for being strict in class, despite music seeming like a light subject. But Mrs. Harris took her job seriously, and teaching music was a massive passion for her.
She walked to the piano and started leading the students into a song to get them warmed up. This semester, she was going to teach them about composition and songwriting. Suddenly, one student raised her hand.
“Mrs. Harris, what do you like to listen to in your leisure time?” she asked curiously.
“I bet she listens to Beethoven and Tchaikovsky at home,” another student said.
“But I actually like a lot of pop music, and even some of the things you, young people, listen to nowadays. But I must admit that I listen to a lot of old songs, especially Paul McCartney,” Mrs. Harris answered, smiling at the kids.
Soon enough, the students got used to her, and some started taking her lessons more seriously. Others still liked to be playful, but she wasn’t truly mad at them.
However, the worst was yet to happen. Her husband suddenly died in the middle of the school year, and she didn’t have the heart to go to work. Fortunately, the school was accommodating. They gave her some well-deserved time off.
At first, she was like a zombie(迟钝无生气的人) at home, lying in bed all day. She didn’t even listen to music anymore. But when her daughter encouraged her to start playing tunes once again, she began to play again until she decided to return to school.
She called the headmaster, letting him know she was ready to get back to normal, even if the love of her life was gone.
“Good morning, everyone,” she began upon entering the classroom for the first time since her husband’s death. She placed her things on her desk and started to speak again. “Before we begin, I want to apologize…”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答
Paragraph 1:
But before she could go on, the sound of notes being played cut her off.

Paragraph 2:
Her students approached her one by one.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】But before she could go on, the sound of notes being played cut her off. She watched the students as they held up their instruments and played a beautiful tune for her. Wonderful notes filled the classroom, and she recognized the song immediately. It was one of Paul McCartney’s most famous songs, also her favorite. Mrs. Harris understood immediately that her students knew what had happened to her. They were giving her a gift she would never forget. Tears filled her eyes as they finished the song, and she had to take a seat to take it all in. (84 words)
Her students approached her one by one. They offered their comfort, and the girls hugged her tightly. She could only thank them for their kindness as tears flowed down her face. After a few minutes, she wiped her tears. “OK. Let’s get back to work!” she said, her voice still emotional. But her words made everyone laugh. They knew their strict teacher was back, and it made them happy. As for Mrs. Harris, she further realized that music was also the other love of her life, and teaching was her life’s purpose. (85 words)
