W: Of course, they do. I’ve got some pictures. I’ll show them at my presentation tomorrow morning.

【原文】Hi, everyone! This is the monthly meeting of our club. We’ve been fortunate to have got good advice from some famous athletes on how to improve our skills and build up our body. Today, we’ll hear something different. We’re honored to have Emma Wilson here. Emma is a health expert and lecturer from UBC, the University of British Columbia. Emma worked for a football team in Manchester, then for a very successful rugby team in Dublin, and finally ended up working here in Vancouver. Emma says it’s challenging to be a health expert because people can be easily influenced by advertisements that lack scientific support. Also, people aren’t willing to change their views about food and nutrition, as there is so much confusing information online. It’s really important to hear what experts say, and that’s why we’ve invited Emma here. She isn’t going to tell us about everything we should eat, but she will teach us to make better choices. Let’s welcome Emma William.

My family first moved to Colorado 22 years ago. Los Angeles was too expensive and it was difficult to find well-paying jobs and affordable housing. Colorado became our next dream place. Settling into a small town in the Front Range, my parents found hard jobs.
Growing up in this small town, I remember my parents working hard to get past the language barrier. My mom, especially, tried her best to ensure she knew all that she needed to know about like my parent-teacher meetings and extracurricular (课外的) activities. One of those extracurricular activities that I signed up for was football. At that age, football was cool and all, but I was more into playing Pokémon and other video games. Football didn’t draw me in.
Big football tournaments (联赛) would come around like the World Cup, the Copa América and the Gold Cup, and the Mexican National Team would play in these tournaments. I would sit there in our living room and unmindfully watch the games while my parents would go crazy with enthusiasm ( 热情). I would sit there and play my game. My dad would look over and tell me that I should be paying attention carefully to the game and that I should care more about whether Mexico would win the match than my video games.
Both of my parents’ workspaces were crowded (占满的) with other workers. My mom worked with people from all over Latin America. Everyone’s topic of choice at work would always turn to how their national football team was doing. It was a way to show pride in the countries where they had grown up.
I grew up loving football more and more. The more I learned about my Mexican roots (根), the more I tried to find ways to express pride in them in the United States.
24. Why did the author’s family move to Colorado?
A. To make a better life.
B. To attend more activities.
C. To follow their football dream.
D. To receive a better education.
25. How did the author feel about football at first?
A. It was amazing. B. It was important.
C. It was uninteresting. D. It was difficult.
26. What would the author’s father do when watching football games?
A. Remind the author to watch them carefully.
B. Play video games with the author.
C. Learn English in their living room.
D. Guess who would be the winner.
27. The author’s mom and her workmates talked about football in order to _________.
A. build a closer friendship
B. express their homesickness
C. share a common topic
D. show their pride in their motherlands
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。作者通过讲述自己的家庭与足球之间的故事，展示了足球背后所蕴含的文化意义。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段第二、三句“Los Angeles was too expensive and it was difficult to find well-paying jobs and affordable housing. Colorado became our next dream place. (洛杉矶的物价太高，很难找到高薪的工作和负担得起的住房。科罗拉多成为我们下一个梦想之地。)”可知，作者心目中的“梦想之地”科罗拉多相对于洛杉矶，物价不是那么高，能找到相对好一点的工作，住房也能负担得起，作者一家搬到科罗拉多州是为了生活得好一些。故选A项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“At that age, football was cool and all, but I was more into playing Pokémon and other video games. Football didn’t draw me in. (在那个年纪，足球很酷，但我更喜欢玩《口袋武士》和其他电子游戏。足球没有吸引我。)”可知，一开始的时候作者对足球并不是很感兴趣。故选C项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“My dad would look over and tell me that I should be paying attention carefully to the game and that I should care more about whether Mexico would win the match than my video games. (我爸爸会过来看着我，告诉我，我应该仔细关注比赛，我应该更关心墨西哥是否会赢得比赛，而不是我的电子游戏。)”可知，每当有足球比赛的时候，作者的父亲就会提醒他认真观看比赛。故选A项。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“My mom worked with people from all over Latin America. Everyone’s topic of choice at work would always turn to how their national football team was doing. It was a way to show pride in the countries where they had grown up. (我妈妈和来自拉丁美洲各地的人一起工作。每个人在工作中选择的话题总是会转向他们的国家足球队表现如何。这是他们为自己成长的国家感到骄傲的一种方式。)”可知，作者的母亲与同事们谈论足球，表达了各自对祖国的自豪感。故选D项。
C
It’s been 150 years this summer since building work was completed on the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, London. When it was completed, Tsar Nicholas I, the ruler of Russia, called it “a dream in stone”.
Important buildings have been built on this site for more than 1, 000 years. In the early 8th century, a church was built that became known as the West Minster. In the 11th century it was the location of a royal residence (王室宅邸). This was the first Palace of Westminster. The first official Parliament met there in 1295. Work on the palace continued until 1834, when the building was destroyed by fire.
In 1835, the architect Charles Barry was picked to design the Parliament building in a style known as “Gothic Revival”. Another architect, Augustus Pugin, helped with the inner part. The work overran and the costs rose to three times more than planned. According to one historian it cost £2.3 million — which in today’s money is more than £4 billion. It finally reopened in 1870.
The Houses of Parliament are once again considered to be a serious fire risk. Small fires broke out 40 times between 2008 and 2012 and a fire safety team has to be on site. A report in 2016 said that maintaining the building was like “trying to fill a bathtub with a thimble (顶针) while the water is flowing out of the plughole (排水孔) at the other end”. In 2018, Parliament held discussions over its restoration and decided that its members would have to move out of the building during its refurbishment (翻新).
The plan is for everyone to move out by 2025 when the restoration will begin. It is said that it will cost around £4 billion and be completed by the early 2030s. The plans include taking away all fire risks, restoring the stonework and repairing around 4,000 windows.
28. What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
A. The West Minster was a popular place for tourists.
B. The site of the Parliament building is historic.
C. Building the Parliament building took a long time.
D. People had different reasons to build a palace in Westminster.
29. What can we learn about the Parliament building?
A. It cost less than expected.
B. It was completed on time.
C. It was being rebuilt for more than 30 years.
D. It was designed by Augustus Pugin alone.
30. What is the biggest problem the Houses of Parliament face now?
A. A great fire risk.
B. No safety team.
C. A shortage of money.
D. No restoration workers.
31. How is this text mainly developed?
A. By analyzing causes.
B. By giving descriptions.
C. By following time order.
D. By making comparisons.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. C

主旨大意题。根据第二段“Important buildings have been built on this site for more than 1, 000 years. In the early 8th century, a church was built that became known as the West Minster.

Prison Break is a huge hit thanks to its handsome star, Wentworth Miller. His character, Michael Scofield, is the engine that drives the show.
Having committed a crime to get into prison and break out with his innocent brother, Michael Scofield is one of the most interesting personalities on TV. But what about the man behind the character?
Miller is a hard guy to figure out. He does not come from a normal background and has never lived his life in a typical way.
Miller didn’t take a direct path to fame and fortune. He graduated from Princeton University in 1995, not with a degree in theatre or film, but in English. He didn’t even act when he was in college. His only performance experience was in his university’s singing group. Yet, at graduation Miller still decided to make the move to Hollywood.
Miller has always been different. Although he is American, he was in Britain when his father was studying there. His family background is also a special mix of cultures. “My father is black and my mother is white. That means I have always been caught in the middle. I could be either one, which can make you feel out of place,” Miller says.
Following his unusual path, Miller did not start trying out for films and TV shows when he first got to Hollywood. Instead, he worked as a lowly production assistant, not what you would expect from a Princeton graduate. However, it all paid off for Miller in the end.
In 2002, Miller played a role in the drama Dinotopia(《恐龙帝国》). He starred as a thoughtful and shy man. Producers remembered his performance when they were casting Prison Break two years later.
32. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Michael Scofield in Prison Break. B. Hollywood’s recent big hit—Prison Break.
C. Miller’s unusual path to fame and fortune. D. The man who will take over all of the world.
33. The writer thinks “Miller is a hard guy to figure out” because _________.
A. it’s difficult to tell him from others
B. he is a shy man and hard to cooperate with
C. he always has ideas hard for people to understand
D. his family background and life experience are very special
34. Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence “it all paid off for Miller in the end”?
A. Miller put a lot of extra work for his final success.
B. Miller gained fame and fortune at last with his first film.
C. Miller finally succeeded even if he has been in low position.
D. Miller managed to pay off his debts with his small income in the end.
35. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Miller?
A. He is chosen to play Michael Scofield due to his interesting personality.
B. His performance in Dinotopia makes some contributions to his success.
C. He has the same experience with the character Michael Scofield.
D. He is angry about his being born into a mixed cultural family.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。讲述了《越狱》的成功也应归功于男主角Michael Scofield的扮演者Wentworth Miller。本文简单介绍了这位帅气的男子的生平以及他是如何走上演艺之路的。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Having committed a crime to get into prison and break out with his innocent brother, Michael Scofield is one of the most interesting personalities on TV. But what about the man behind the character?(迈克尔·斯科菲尔德是电视上最有趣的人物之一，他犯了罪进入监狱，并与他无辜的兄弟一起越狱。但是这个角色背后的男人呢?)”以及各段的段首句“Miller is a hard guy to figure out.(米勒是个很难搞懂的人)”；“Miller didn’t take a direct path to fame and fortune.(米勒并没有走一条通往名利的坦途)”；“Miller has always been different.(米勒总是与众不同)”；“Following his unusual path, Miller did not start trying out for films and TV shows when he first got to Hollywood.(沿着他不寻常的道路，米勒刚到好莱坞时并没有开始尝试电影和电视节目)”可知，本文主要讲的是Wentworth Miller走向荣誉和成功的不寻常之路。故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“He does not come from a normal background and has never lived his life in a typical way.(他并非来自一个普通的家庭，也从未以一种典型的方式生活过)”可知，他的家庭背景和人生经历都很特别。故选D项。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“Following his unusual path, Miller did not start trying out for films and TV shows when he first got to Hollywood. Instead, he worked as a lowly production assistant, not what you would expect from a Princeton graduate.(沿着他不寻常的道路，米勒刚到好莱坞时并没有开始尝试电影和电视节目。相反，他的工作是一个卑微的制作助理，这不是你想象中的普林斯顿毕业生的工作)”以及最后一段“In 2002, Miller played a role in the drama Dinotopia(《恐龙帝国》). He starred as a thoughtful and shy man. Producers remembered his performance when they were casting Prison Break two years later.(2002年，米勒在电视剧《恐龙帝国》中扮演了一个角色。他在片中饰演一个体贴而害羞的人。两年后，制片人在为《越狱》选角时想起了他的表演)”可知，虽然米勒的工作很卑微，但是他最终取得了成功，由此可推知，划线部分意思是米勒最终成功了，尽管他一直处于低位。故选C项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“In 2002, Miller played a role in the drama Dinotopia(《恐龙帝国》). He starred as a thoughtful and shy man. Producers remembered his performance when they were casting Prison Break two years later.(2002年，米勒在电视剧《恐龙帝国》中扮演了一个角色。他在片中饰演一个体贴而害羞的人。两年后，制片人在为《越狱》选角时想起了他的表演)”可知，他在《恐龙帝国》中的表演对他的成功有所贡献。故选B项。

【36题详解】
根据上文Everyone has an artistic talent. You might not even know it.（每个人都有艺术天赋。你可能根本不知道。）可知你可能不知道自己有艺术天赋，因此一直认为自己没有任何艺术方面的技能。故D选项符合语境。故选D。

根据上文If you want to develop your artistic talent, start trying things out. （如果你想发展你艺术天赋，开始尝试吧。）中start trying things out可对应到F选项中There are many things you can try，且表示“你可以从绘画、服装、舞蹈和唱歌中尝试很多东西”符合上下文语境。故选F。

根据下文Almost anything can be used for inspiration. Visit museums and galleries, or look at art books. When you look around you, you develop your artistic appreciation and use it to work on developing your own skills.（几乎任何东西都可以用来激发灵感。参观博物馆和画廊，或看艺术书籍。当你环顾四周时，你发展了你的艺术欣赏能力，并利用它来发展你自己的技能。）可知要学会用自己的眼睛去环顾四周，发现艺术也发展自己的艺术欣赏能力。故E选项“另一个发展你艺术天赋的方法是学习如何使用你的眼睛。”符合本段语境。故选E。
【40题详解】
根据本段最后一句Try out，learn from your mistakes, and improve your skills.（尝试，从错误中学习，提高你的技能。）可知是建议要不怕犯错，从错误中学习。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是中国的传统戏剧——京剧。
【56题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：京剧是一种结合了音乐、声乐表演、哑剧、舞蹈和杂技的中国传统戏剧形式。分析句子结构可知，此处为连词引导的定语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以使用关系代词，先行词a form of traditional Chinese theatre指的是物。故填which。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：京剧可以追溯到18世纪，已有200多年的历史。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，date back to与逻辑主语Peking Opera为主动关系，所以使用现在分词形式，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Dating。
【58题详解】
考查副词。句意：这种形式在清朝宫廷中极其流行，并已被视为中国的文化宝藏之一。分析句子结构可知，此处为副词作状语，修饰形容词popular，extreme的副词为extremely意为“极其”。故填extremely。
【59题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：这种形式在清朝宫廷中极为流行，并已被视为中国的文化宝藏之一。根据句意可知，regard与逻辑主语The form之间为被动关系，所以此处应为不定式的被动形式。故填regarded。
【60题详解】
考查名词。从演奏中国传统乐器的管弦乐队开始，这部歌剧给我西方人的耳朵带来了一种全新的声音。分析句子结构可知，此处为名词作宾语，ear为可数名词，空前无限定词，所以此处应为名词复数形式表泛指。故填ears。
【61题详解】
考查连词。句意：表演者当然是用中文唱的，但音乐、夸张的动作和哑剧帮助观众理解了其中的含义。分析句子结构可知，此处为连词连接并列句，结合句意可知，空前与空后的句子之间为转折关系。故填but。
【62题详解】
考查介词。句意：表演者当然是用中文唱的，但音乐、夸张的动作和哑剧帮助观众理解了其中的含义。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定短语get across意为“使理解”符合句意。故填across。
【63题详解】
考查代词。句意：声音本身听起来很独特，舞台也很简单：一根装饰过的鞭子代表一匹马，一个有汉字的屏幕，一个书房。分析句子结构可知，此处为代词作voices的同位语起强调作用，they与voices指的是同一物，所以此处应为they的反身代词。故填themselves。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：声音本身听起来很独特，舞台也很简单：一根装饰过的鞭子代表一匹马，一个有汉字的屏幕，一个书房。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作定语，whip与decorate之间为被动关系，所以此处应使用过去分词形式。故填decorated。
【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意：用这样的技巧，歌剧把一个小舞台变成了整个宇宙。分析句子结构可知，universe意为“宇宙”为独一无二的物体，所以应使用定冠词。故填the。

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右.
Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see!”
“No,” said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into mischief(trouble). Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me. ”
“You are a coward, and afraid to go,” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together.
Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.
注意：
续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
Robert was fast sinking.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Thus,Robert’s life was saved.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Robert was fast sinking. It seemed as if Robert would be drowned. Just at the moment, Henry happened to be passing by. Hearing the screams, Henry ran to the riverside, threw off his clothes and jumped into the water without hesitation. He reached Robert just as he was sinking the last time. With great effort, and at the risk of drowning himself, he brought Robert to the shore.
Thus, Robert’s life was saved. Robert and his new friends were ashamed of having called Henry a coward. They realized that Henry had true courage. They said sorry to Henry for their rude behavior and asked for his forgiveness. Henry forgave them happily. He and Robert were friends again and they went home together as usual. From this, Robert learned what true courage was: never be afraid to do good, but always fear to do evil.
【解析】
