学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________
一、阅读理解
In Singapore, it seems like art is at every turn. Look closely and you’ll discover masterpieces in front of an office building, a walkway, and even on a rooftop garden, where everyone can appreciate them up close. In order to further promote art, festivals are held throughout the year. Here are some of the biggest art draws to come.
ARTWALK When: January
An annual public art festival, Artwalk takes place in the culturally rich neighborhoods of Little India and Katong-Joo Chiat. Visitors can learn about the food, stories and history of two of Singapore’s most distinct communities on guided walking tours. They can even experience art and culture up close with hands-on workshops with local artists, storytellers and cultural experts.
ART SG When: March
During the biggest art fair in Southeast Asia, more than 150 of the world’s best galleries will showcase their collection of more than 1,000 artists. The film sector will feature panel discussions, experimental films, and new film-making practices. Some galleries will also present digital technology artworks like AR, VR, and NFTs.
SINGAPORE NIGHT When: August
During this party-like night festival, the Bras Basah-Bugis business street lights up for this multi-dimensional art festival with diverse light installations (装置). Building walls provide larger-than-life canvases (画布) for shows; underground tunnels are brilliant with lights. Art and creativity blossom through a passion for experiments.

Lasting five months, the Singapore Biennale is a dynamic event that encourages folks to see art in a new light through interactive installations and exhibitions. The highlights include art tours, air performances, a film installation and various exhibitions.
1．What can a visitor do in ARTWALK?
A．Visit museums and galleries. B．Join in interactive activities.
C．Try out global cuisine. D．Share personal stories.
2．When should visitors go to Singapore if they want to enjoy light shows at night?

Today, I’ve been recording an audiobook. I am excited that I have realized my life-long dream.
I will never forget at primary school I used to wait with breathless anticipation to take my turn reading out a paragraph of great works in front. At my secondary school, when students were encouraged to select and present a reading at “morning talk”, I often added my name to the list.
This was all handy background for my career in broadcasting. But, much as I enjoy hosting shows and interviewing people, I often find myself missing the simple pleasures of reading out loud. I’d thought about putting myself forward as a narrator for audiobooks. But I’m not an actor. I can’t do regional accents or play female voice. Non-fiction, then, seemed the obvious target, but I felt that such books were best read by their original authors. If it were authors’ own voice, their stories would touch me.
Recently, delivering my son’s nightly bedtime story has reawakened my love for reading out loud — highlights so far have included Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Charlotte’s Web. But I never thought I’d get the opportunity to do it professionally.
Then, last month, I was contacted by James Plunkett, writer of End State, a forthcoming book about political ideas. He had no desire to read his book out loud, but as a fan of my program, he thought I might do a reasonable job.
So, I’ve spent this week in a studio, simply reading stuff out loud. And I’m LOVING IT!
Mind you, it’s an entirely unexpected experience. It’s disheartening when the recording needs to be stopped because I’ve just carelessly skipped over a “the”, or had to clear my throat, or catch my breath. I’ve also learned how many words I’ve been mispronouncing my entire life: behavioural is BE-HAYVE-YOU-RAL, not BE-HAYVE-EE-AH-RUL.
Though tackling this 339-page book doesn’t turn out to be that easy, I’ve found the whole process awesome, and hope this becomes the first of many.
4．What does the author want to show by mentioning his experiences at school?
A．The power of dreaming.
B．His love for reading aloud.
C．The impact of schooling.
D．His talent for reading.
5．What can we learn about the author from paragraph 3?
A．He regrets being a TV host.
B．He has no taste for non-fiction.
C．He has rich acting experience.
D．He is aware of his disadvantages.
6．Why could the author get the job as a narrator?
A．He was specifically invited.
B．He applied for it in person.
C．He loved reading bedtime stories.
D．He had a big crowd of fans.
7．What does the author think of being a narrator?
A．Demanding but enjoyable.
B．Risky but fruitful.
C．Tiring but stress-free.
D．Boring but rewarding.
People who give, live longer, studies have shown. Now, a new study by University of Michigan shows that why people volunteer—not whether they volunteer—is what really counts.
For the study, Konrath and colleagues analyzed data collected in 2008 and 2012 aiming at the same random samples of 3, 376 people. Overall, they found that just 2.3 percent of those who once worked as volunteers had died, compared to 4.3 percent of non-volunteers. They further found that how much people volunteered mattered as well-—only 1.8 percent of regular volunteers died, compared with 2. 5 percent of occasional volunteers.
But what really made a difference were people’s motives for volunteering. The researchers asked people to rate how important they found various reasons for volunteering, and they found that the more important people rated reasons such as feeling pity for people in need, the more likely they were to be alive. Those who rated motives related to personal benefit as more important were more likely to have died, and just as likely to die as those who didn’t volunteer at all. These reasons included volunteering because they enjoyed the social contact, to escape their own problems, or to explore their own strengths.
Konrath says the current findings suggest it may be a poor idea to encourage people to volunteer because it’s good for them. “Volunteering is increasingly being encouraged in schools and organizations. Some groups say that it’s okay to want benefits for yourself, and encourage people to think of volunteering as an exchange for personal interests. Some groups emphasize the health benefits received through volunteering.” Konrath added, “Of course, it’s reasonable for volunteers to expect benefits for themselves. But the potential health benefits of volunteering are significantly reduced if self-benefit becomes a person’s main motive.”
8．What does the new study mainly find?
A．How we volunteer makes sense to others.
B．How often we volunteer makes a difference.
C．Whether we volunteer decides our well-being.
D．Why we volunteer has an impact on our health
9．How did the researchers do the study?
A．By analyzing statistics.
B．By rating volunteers’ performances.
C．By doing lab experiments.
D．By grouping participants randomly.
10．Which of the following motives will probably contribute to a longer life?
A．To develop abilities.
B．To make more friends.
C．To help the poor people.
D．To solve personal problems.
11．What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．Practical suggestions on further studies.
B．A further explanation of the current findings.
C．Potential applications of the research method.
D．A reasonable doubt about the research results.
Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth’s vital resource. By using advanced microwave radar technology it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans, lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe. It’s really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet’s surface.
The major mission is to explore how oceans help to minimize climate change by absorbing atmospheric heat and carbon dioxide in a natural process. Oceans are estimated to have absorbed more than 90% of the extra heat trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere by human-caused greenhouse gases Swot will scan the seas from the orbit and precisely measure fine differences in surface elevations (高度) around smaller currents and eddies (漩涡), where much of the oceans’ decrease of heat and carbon is believed to occur. “Studying the mechanism will help climate scientists answer a key question: What is the turning point at which oceans start releasing, rather than absorbing, huge amounts of heat back into the atmosphere and speed up global warming, rather than limiting it,” said Nadya Shiffer, Swot’s program scientist.
By comparison, earlier studies of water bodies relied on data of rivers or oceans taken at specific points, or from satellites that can only track measurements along a one-dimensional line, requiring scientists to fill in data gaps through extrapolation (外推法). Thanks to the radar instrument, Swot can scan through cloud cover and darkness over wide ranges of the Earth. This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than was previously possible.
“Rather than giving us a line of elevations, it’s giving us a map of elevations, and that’s just a total game changer,” said Tamlin Pavelsky, Swot freshwater science leader.
12．What does the underlined expression “vital resource” in the first paragraph refer to?
A．Technology. B．Climate. C．Oceans. D．Water.
13．What is the major mission of Swot?
A．To explore the influences of greenhouse gases.
B．To explain the consequence of global warming.
C．To identify the causes of water absorbing heat and CO2.
D．To study the mechanism of oceans influencing climate.
14．What makes it possible for Swot to measure precisely?
A．The high-definition computer.
B．Advanced radar technology.
C．The three-dimensional image.
D．An accurate map of elevations.
15．Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A．A Solution to Climate Change
B．A Breakthrough in Space Travel
C．First Global Water Survey from Space
D．The Successful Launch of Swot Satellite

I feared going into my room after school. Every day it was something different. The hours away at school were long enough to cause a terrible change to my private room. Today can be no different.
As I entered the house, Mom greeted me with a smile. It seemed like nothing was wrong. Still, I wouldn’t believe. Yesterday, I discovered a chocolate cookie spread around the mouth of my angel statue. Its pink lips were covered in chocolate. Obviously, Callie had shared her cookie with my angel.
I looked around for my little sister, Callie, who had just turned three. I didn’t see her. As I checked the sitting room, I noticed it was pretty messy. There were toys all around. There were a few headless dolls, some blocks, the remains of a grape stuck into the carpet. I searched around and there she was, sitting on the sofa with the TV remote in her sticky hands. She looked up and saw me. A huge smile broke out on her face, and she laughed, clapping her hands. I was surprised that they didn’t stick together.
“Sissy (sister)!” She jumped off the sofa and ran to me, hugging my knees and almost tipping me over. “Hi, Callie,” I said, with the slightest smile. I ruffled (抚弄) her long thick hair, and some white crumbs (残渣) fell to the carpet. “Cheese, sissy”, Callie said, pointing at the crumbs that had settled onto the carpet. I found a strong smell of cheese from them. Had Callie focused on destroying only the sitting room? A voice raced across my mind. No way. Not my sister, the destroyer. Not my sister, the three-year-old terror. I turned around and started the scared climb to my room.
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。
I pushed the door open and saw a complete mess again!

16．F 17．E 18．D 19．A 20．G
【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了提高创造力的方法。
16．上文“While I agree that some people may be slightly more creative than others, I think creativity is a muscle that can be exercised and improved upon.(虽然我同意有些人可能比其他人更有创造力，但我认为创造力是一块可以锻炼和提高的“肌肉”)”表达了创造力是可以锻炼和提高的，下文给出四条锻炼和提高创造力的建议，F项“The key is how to get your creativity strengthened (关键是如何增强你的创造力)”承上启下，引出下文增强创造力的建议。上下文语意连贯。故选F。
17．上文“We all love reading about stuff in our industry. (我们都喜欢阅读有关我们行业的东西)”提出我们都喜欢读与自己行业相关的东西，下文“If you want to get your creative juices flowing, start consuming content you wouldn’t normally consume. Read blogs outside of your industry. Read books outside of your normal choice.(如果你想让你的创造力流动，开始读你通常不会读的内容。阅读行业以外的博客。阅读日常阅读范围以外的书籍)”却建议要阅读自己行业外的书籍，上下文语意不一致，E项“But typically this doesn’t boost creativity. (但这通常不会激发创造力)”承上启下，指出只读与自己行业相关的书籍的问题，引出下文的建议。上下文语意连贯。故选E。
18．上文“Get at least one other person to join you for a 45-60 minute brainstorm. No technology and no criticism. Bring a topic or idea to the table and write down all your ideas (on actual paper).

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了被列入《世界遗产名录》福建土楼。
36．考查介词。句意：它们的大小和高度也各不相同。根据句意可知，此处说明土楼的大小和高度都不同，vary in为固定搭配，意为“在……方面不同”。故填in。
37．考查冠词。句意：土楼一般有3到5层，占地面积约5000平方米。根据句意可知，此处指土楼覆盖5000平方米的面积，可数名词area是泛指，需要用不定冠词修饰，area的发音以元音音素开头，不定冠词用an修饰。故填an。
38．考查非谓语动词。句意：一个土楼可以容纳数百人，他们一起生活和工作，共享公共区域，以及公共设施，如井和楼梯。分析句子可知，提示词在定语从句中伴随状语，share是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语who(即先行词people)之间是主动关系，所以需要用现在分词。故填sharing。
39．考查名词复数。句意：一个土楼可以容纳数百人，他们一起生活和工作，共享公共区域，以及公共设施，如井和楼梯。根据后文“such as the well and the stairs”可知，这里指的是多种公共设施，用复数形式。故填facilities。

41．考查形容词的最高级。句意：最早的土楼建于13世纪，当时客家人在战争期间迁往福建。根据句意可知，该处指“最早的土楼”，提示词early用最高级形式。故填earliest。
42．考查非谓语动词。句意：为了在这里永久定居，客家人根据当地的地理环境建造了土楼，既有居住的目的，也有防御的目的。结合句意分析句子，“(settle) here permanently”是客家人建造土楼的目的，用动词不定式作目的状语；句首单词首字母大写。故填To settle。
43．考查定语从句。句意：土楼有一米多厚的泥墙，特殊设计的入口，高高的窗户和秘密隧道，可以有效地防御敌人。根据句意和句子结构可知，该空引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词mud walls，指物，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语，用关系代词that或者which引导该定语从句。故填that/which。
44．考查连词。句意：如今，成群结队的游客涌入这里，欣赏土楼令人难以置信的设计和技术，欣赏那里和谐的生活方式。根据句意，“look at the incredible designs and technologies of the Tulou”和“admire the harmonious living style there”是游客来到这里的目的，是并列关系，用并列连词and连接。故填and。
45．考查形容词。句意：当你有机会时，为什么不去福建土楼看看这些令人印象深刻的土楼呢？提示词修饰earthen buildings，用形容词impressive作定语，意为“令人印象深刻的”。故填impressive。

47．I pushed the door open and saw a complete mess again! My bed and desk were fully covered by white crumbs, and the walls were full of grape juice graffiti. What’s worse, I discovered cheese spread around the mouth of my angel statue whose pink lips were covered in cheese. I was completely shocked. Filled with anger, I was unable to utter a single word. So angry was I that I shook my fist at her. The moment she saw my reaction, she froze with fright, as if rooted on the ground. All of a sudden, she bursted into tears.
Seeing the tears in her eyes, I bent down and lifted her up gently. “It’s OK. Callie, no matter what you do, I will love you forever. You are such a good girl, for it is you creative imaginations that give me surprises everyday. Thank you!” I kissed her on her face, ruffling her long thick hair. On hearing that, her eyes widened with excitement and her mouth opened. “Sissy (sister)! I love you too.” She said heartily, and the smile on her face shone like a diamond.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了我每天都害怕放学后走进我的房间。因为我三岁的妹妹每天在我离开学校的几个小时的时间足以使我的私人房间发生可怕的变化。今天也不例外。当我走进房子时，妈妈微笑着向我打招呼。似乎没有什么问题。不过，我还是不相信。我环顾四周，寻找我的小妹妹Callie，我没看到她，却看到了凌乱的客厅，我四处找了一下，她就坐在沙发上，黏糊糊的手里拿着电视遥控器。她从沙发上跳下来，跑向我，抱着我的膝盖，几乎把我掀翻了。“嗨，Callie，”我说，微微一笑。我弄乱了她长长的厚厚的头发，一些白面包屑落在了地毯上。“奶酪，姐姐。”Callie指着已经落在地毯上的白色碎屑说。我发现它们身上有一股强烈的奶酪的味道。Callie不可能只专注于摧毁客厅，那绝不是我的妹妹，那个破坏者。我转过身来，开始惊恐地爬进我的房间。不出所料，又是一团糟，我怒了，而妹妹因为我的生气吓坏了，我不忍心决定开始安慰她，姐妹和好如初。

Today, I’ve been recording an audiobook. I am excited that I have realized my life-long dream.
I will never forget at primary school I used to wait with breathless anticipation to take my turn reading out a paragraph of great works in front. At my secondary school, when students were encouraged to select and present a reading at “morning talk”, I often added my name to the list.
This was all handy background for my career in broadcasting. But, much as I enjoy hosting shows and interviewing people, I often find myself missing the simple pleasures of reading out loud. I’d thought about putting myself forward as a narrator for audiobooks. But I’m not an actor. I can’t do regional accents or play female voice. Non-fiction, then, seemed the obvious target, but I felt that such books were best read by their original authors. If it were authors’ own voice, their stories would touch me.
Recently, delivering my son’s nightly bedtime story has reawakened my love for reading out loud — highlights so far have included Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Charlotte’s Web. But I never thought I’d get the opportunity to do it professionally.
Then, last month, I was contacted by James Plunkett, writer of End State, a forthcoming book about political ideas. He had no desire to read his book out loud, but as a fan of my program, he thought I might do a reasonable job.
So, I’ve spent this week in a studio, simply reading stuff out loud. And I’m LOVING IT!
Mind you, it’s an entirely unexpected experience. It’s disheartening when the recording needs to be stopped because I’ve just carelessly skipped over a “the”, or had to clear my throat, or catch my breath. I’ve also learned how many words I’ve been mispronouncing my entire life: behavioural is BE-HAYVE-YOU-RAL, not BE-HAYVE-EE-AH-RUL.
Though tackling this 339-page book doesn’t turn out to be that easy, I’ve found the whole process awesome, and hope this becomes the first of many.

7．What does the author think of being a narrator?

D．Boring but rewarding.
People who give, live longer, studies have shown. Now, a new study by University of Michigan shows that why people volunteer—not whether they volunteer—is what really counts.
For the study, Konrath and colleagues analyzed data collected in 2008 and 2012 aiming at the same random samples of 3, 376 people. Overall, they found that just 2.3 percent of those who once worked as volunteers had died, compared to 4.3 percent of non-volunteers. They further found that how much people volunteered mattered as well-—only 1.8 percent of regular volunteers died, compared with 2. 5 percent of occasional volunteers.
But what really made a difference were people’s motives for volunteering. The researchers asked people to rate how important they found various reasons for volunteering, and they found that the more important people rated reasons such as feeling pity for people in need, the more likely they were to be alive. Those who rated motives related to personal benefit as more important were more likely to have died, and just as likely to die as those who didn’t volunteer at all. These reasons included volunteering because they enjoyed the social contact, to escape their own problems, or to explore their own strengths.
Konrath says the current findings suggest it may be a poor idea to encourage people to volunteer because it’s good for them. “Volunteering is increasingly being encouraged in schools and organizations. Some groups say that it’s okay to want benefits for yourself, and encourage people to think of volunteering as an exchange for personal interests. Some groups emphasize the health benefits received through volunteering.” Konrath added, “Of course, it’s reasonable for volunteers to expect benefits for themselves. But the potential health benefits of volunteering are significantly reduced if self-benefit becomes a person’s main motive.”
8．What does the new study mainly find?
A．How we volunteer makes sense to others.
B．How often we volunteer makes a difference.
C．Whether we volunteer decides our well-being.
D．Why we volunteer has an impact on our health
9．How did the researchers do the study?
A．By analyzing statistics.
B．By rating volunteers’ performances.
C．By doing lab experiments.
D．By grouping participants randomly.
10．Which of the following motives will probably contribute to a longer life?
A．To develop abilities.
B．To make more friends.
C．To help the poor people.
D．To solve personal problems.
11．What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．Practical suggestions on further studies.
B．A further explanation of the current findings.
C．Potential applications of the research method.
D．A reasonable doubt about the research results.
Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth’s vital resource. By using advanced microwave radar technology it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans, lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe. It’s really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet’s surface.
The major mission is to explore how oceans help to minimize climate change by absorbing atmospheric heat and carbon dioxide in a natural process. Oceans are estimated to have absorbed more than 90% of the extra heat trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere by human-caused greenhouse gases Swot will scan the seas from the orbit and precisely measure fine differences in surface elevations (高度) around smaller currents and eddies (漩涡), where much of the oceans’ decrease of heat and carbon is believed to occur. “Studying the mechanism will help climate scientists answer a key question: What is the turning point at which oceans start releasing, rather than absorbing, huge amounts of heat back into the atmosphere and speed up global warming, rather than limiting it,” said Nadya Shiffer, Swot’s program scientist.
By comparison, earlier studies of water bodies relied on data of rivers or oceans taken at specific points, or from satellites that can only track measurements along a one-dimensional line, requiring scientists to fill in data gaps through extrapolation (外推法). Thanks to the radar instrument, Swot can scan through cloud cover and darkness over wide ranges of the Earth. This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than was previously possible.
“Rather than giving us a line of elevations, it’s giving us a map of elevations, and that’s just a total game changer,” said Tamlin Pavelsky, Swot freshwater science leader.
12．What does the underlined expression “vital resource” in the first paragraph refer to?
A．Technology. B．Climate. C．Oceans. D．Water.
13．What is the major mission of Swot?
A．To explore the influences of greenhouse gases.
B．To explain the consequence of global warming.
C．To identify the causes of water absorbing heat and CO2.
D．To study the mechanism of oceans influencing climate.
14．What makes it possible for Swot to measure precisely?
A．The high-definition computer.
B．Advanced radar technology.
C．The three-dimensional image.
D．An accurate map of elevations.
15．Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A．A Solution to Climate Change
B．A Breakthrough in Space Travel
C．First Global Water Survey from Space
D．The Successful Launch of Swot Satellite

六、读后续写
47．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。
I feared going into my room after school. Every day it was something different. The hours away at school were long enough to cause a terrible change to my private room. Today can be no different.
As I entered the house, Mom greeted me with a smile. It seemed like nothing was wrong. Still, I wouldn’t believe. Yesterday, I discovered a chocolate cookie spread around the mouth of my angel statue. Its pink lips were covered in chocolate. Obviously, Callie had shared her cookie with my angel.
I looked around for my little sister, Callie, who had just turned three. I didn’t see her. As I checked the sitting room, I noticed it was pretty messy. There were toys all around. There were a few headless dolls, some blocks, the remains of a grape stuck into the carpet. I searched around and there she was, sitting on the sofa with the TV remote in her sticky hands. She looked up and saw me. A huge smile broke out on her face, and she laughed, clapping her hands. I was surprised that they didn’t stick together.
“Sissy (sister)!” She jumped off the sofa and ran to me, hugging my knees and almost tipping me over. “Hi, Callie,” I said, with the slightest smile. I ruffled (抚弄) her long thick hair, and some white crumbs (残渣) fell to the carpet. “Cheese, sissy”, Callie said, pointing at the crumbs that had settled onto the carpet. I found a strong smell of cheese from them. Had Callie focused on destroying only the sitting room? A voice raced across my mind. No way. Not my sister, the destroyer. Not my sister, the three-year-old terror. I turned around and started the scared climb to my room.
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。
I pushed the door open and saw a complete mess again!

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者喜欢朗读，成为朗读者是他的梦想。作者的坚持最终让他获得了成为专业朗读者的机会。
4．推理判断题。根据第二段“I will never forget at primary school I used to wait with breathless anticipation to take my turn reading out a paragraph of great works in front. At my secondary school, when students were encouraged to select and present a reading at “morning talk”, I often added my name to the list.(我永远不会忘记上小学时，我总是屏息以待，等着轮到我朗读面前的一段名著。在我上中学的时候，当学校鼓励学生在“晨间谈话”中选择并朗读一篇阅读材料时，我经常把自己的名字加到名单上)”可知，作者小学时，经常期待着能轮到自己阅读作品，在中学时经常把自己的名字添加到朗读者的名单中，由此推知，作者提及在上学期间的经历是为了表明自己对朗读的热爱。故选B项。
5．细节理解题。根据第三段中“I’d thought about putting myself forward as a narrator for audiobooks. But I’m not an actor. I can’t do regional accents or play female voice.(我曾想过让自己成为有声读物的旁白。但我不是演员。我不会讲地方口音，也不会扮演女声)”可知，作者意识到自己还有很多的不足。故选D项。
6．细节理解题。根据第五段“Then, last month, I was contacted by James Plunkett, author of End State, a forthcoming book about political ideas.

8．D 9．A 10．C 11．B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家的最新研究——做志愿者可以增长寿命。
8．推理判断题。根据第一段“People who give, live longer, studies have shown. Now, a new study by University of Michigan shows that why people volunteer—not whether they volunteer—is what really counts. ”（研究表明，付出的人活得更长。现在，密歇根大学的一项新研究表明，人们为什么自愿而不是是否自愿才是真正重要的。）可知，付出此处指的是做志愿者服务，换句话说就是研究显示做志愿者可以更长寿，推断出新的研究主要发现为什么我们做志愿者会对我们的健康产生影响。故选D项。
9．推理判断题。根据第二段“For the study, Konrath and colleagues analyzed data collected in 2008 and 2012 aiming at the same random samples of 3, 376 people. Overall, they found that just 2.3 percent of those who once worked as volunteers had died, compared to 4.3 percent of non-volunteers. They further found that how much people volunteered mattered as well-—only 1.8 percent of regular volunteers died, compared with 2.5 percent of occasional volunteers.”（在这项研究中，康拉斯及其同事分析了2008年和2012年收集的数据，这些数据针对的是3766人的相同随机样本。总体而言，他们发现，在那些曾经担任志愿者的人中，只有2.3%的人死亡，而非志愿者的这一比例为4.3%。他们进一步发现，志愿者的数量也很重要——只有1.8%的常规志愿者死亡，而偶尔的志愿者只有2.5%。）可知，研究人员进行了这项研究是通过分析统计数据。故选A项。
10．推理判断题。根据第三段“The researchers asked people to rate how important they found various reasons for volunteering, and they found that the more important people rated reasons such as feeling pity for people in need, the more likely they were to be alive. ”（研究人员要求人们对志愿服务的各种原因的重要性进行评分，他们发现，人们对同情有需要的人等原因的评分越重要，他们活着的可能性就越大。）可知，推断出可能有助于延长寿命的动机是同情有需要的人，C项“帮助穷人”符合这一范畴。故选C项。
11．主旨大意题。根据第四段“Konrath says the current findings suggest it may be a poor idea to encourage people to volunteer because it’s good for them.”（康拉斯说，目前的研究结果表明，鼓励人们做志愿者可能是个糟糕的主意，因为这对他们有好处。）可知，前几段介绍了做志愿者可以使人们更长寿，最后一段又介绍了做志愿者的进一步影响，说明最后一段是对当前调查结果的进一步解释。故选B项。
12．D 13．D 14．B 15．C
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了一颗名为Swot的卫星将于周四上午被送入太空，以绘制地球上的水域地图。它将测量海洋能从大气中吸收多少热量和碳。这将帮助科学家了解海洋如何帮助阻止气候变化。
12．词句猜测题。根据画线短语下文“By using advanced microwave radar technology it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans, lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe. It’s really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet’s surface.(通过使用先进的微波雷达技术，它将收集全球90% 以上的海洋、湖泊和河流的高清晰度表面测量数据。这真的是第一次观察到地球表面几乎所有的水)”和画线短语所在句子“Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth’s vital resource.(Swot卫星计划于周四上午发射，对地球的vital resource进行全面调查)”可知，Swot卫星通过使用先进的微波雷达技术，收集全球90%以上的海洋、湖泊和河流的高清晰度表面测量数据，然后对这些水资源进行调查，由此可推知，画线短语“vital resource”指的是下文提到的“water (水)”。故选D。
13．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The major mission is to explore how oceans adjust climate change by absorbing atmospheric heat and carbon dioxide in a natural process.(其主要任务是探索海洋如何通过自然过程吸收大气热量和二氧化碳来调节气候变化)”可知，Swot卫星的主要任务是探索海洋如何通过自然过程吸收大气热量和二氧化碳来调节气候变化，即研究海洋如何影响气候变化。故选D。
14．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Thanks to the radar instrument, Swot can scan through cloud cover and darkness over wide ranges of the Earth. This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than was previously possible.(多亏了雷达仪器，Swot可以在地球的大范围内扫描云层和黑暗。这使得科学家能够精确地绘制二维地图，无论天气如何，无论何时，覆盖大面积地理区域的速度比以前快得多)”可知，先进的雷达技术使得Swot能够精确测量。故选B。
15．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth’s vital resource. By using advanced microwave radar technology it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans, lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe. It’s really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet’s surface.(Swot卫星计划于周四上午发射，对地球的重要资源进行全面调查。通过使用先进的微波雷达技术，它将收集全球90% 以上的海洋、湖泊和河流的高清晰度表面测量数据。这真的是第一次观察到地球表面几乎所有的水。)”可知，文章报道了计划于周四上午发射的Swot卫星，通过使用先进的微波雷达技术，它将收集全球90%以上的海洋、湖泊和河流的高清晰度表面测量数据。这是第一次从太空观察到地球表面几乎所有的水。由此可推知C项“First Global Water Survey from Space(第一次从太空进行的全球水资源调查)”是文章最佳标题。故选C。

21．A 22．C 23．D 24．B 25．A 26．B 27．A 28．B 29．A 30．C 31．C 32．B 33．C 34．D 35．D

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了被列入《世界遗产名录》福建土楼。
36．考查介词。句意：它们的大小和高度也各不相同。根据句意可知，此处说明土楼的大小和高度都不同，vary in为固定搭配，意为“在……方面不同”。故填in。
37．考查冠词。句意：土楼一般有3到5层，占地面积约5000平方米。根据句意可知，此处指土楼覆盖5000平方米的面积，可数名词area是泛指，需要用不定冠词修饰，area的发音以元音音素开头，不定冠词用an修饰。故填an。
38．考查非谓语动词。句意：一个土楼可以容纳数百人，他们一起生活和工作，共享公共区域，以及公共设施，如井和楼梯。分析句子可知，提示词在定语从句中伴随状语，share是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语who(即先行词people)之间是主动关系，所以需要用现在分词。故填sharing。

41．考查形容词的最高级。句意：最早的土楼建于13世纪，当时客家人在战争期间迁往福建。根据句意可知，该处指“最早的土楼”，提示词early用最高级形式。故填earliest。
42．考查非谓语动词。句意：为了在这里永久定居，客家人根据当地的地理环境建造了土楼，既有居住的目的，也有防御的目的。结合句意分析句子，“(settle) here permanently”是客家人建造土楼的目的，用动词不定式作目的状语；句首单词首字母大写。故填To settle。
43．考查定语从句。句意：土楼有一米多厚的泥墙，特殊设计的入口，高高的窗户和秘密隧道，可以有效地防御敌人。根据句意和句子结构可知，该空引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词mud walls，指物，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语，用关系代词that或者which引导该定语从句。故填that/which。
44．考查连词。句意：如今，成群结队的游客涌入这里，欣赏土楼令人难以置信的设计和技术，欣赏那里和谐的生活方式。根据句意，“look at the incredible designs and technologies of the Tulou”和“admire the harmonious living style there”是游客来到这里的目的，是并列关系，用并列连词and连接。故填and。
45．考查形容词。句意：当你有机会时，为什么不去福建土楼看看这些令人印象深刻的土楼呢？提示词修饰earthen buildings，用形容词impressive作定语，意为“令人印象深刻的”。故填impressive。

47．I pushed the door open and saw a complete mess again! My bed and desk were fully covered by white crumbs, and the walls were full of grape juice graffiti. What’s worse, I discovered cheese spread around the mouth of my angel statue whose pink lips were covered in cheese. I was completely shocked. Filled with anger, I was unable to utter a single word. So angry was I that I shook my fist at her. The moment she saw my reaction, she froze with fright, as if rooted on the ground. All of a sudden, she bursted into tears.
Seeing the tears in her eyes, I bent down and lifted her up gently. “It’s OK. Callie, no matter what you do, I will love you forever. You are such a good girl, for it is you creative imaginations that give me surprises everyday. Thank you!” I kissed her on her face, ruffling her long thick hair. On hearing that, her eyes widened with excitement and her mouth opened. “Sissy (sister)! I love you too.” She said heartily, and the smile on her face shone like a diamond.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了我每天都害怕放学后走进我的房间。因为我三岁的妹妹每天在我离开学校的几个小时的时间足以使我的私人房间发生可怕的变化。今天也不例外。当我走进房子时，妈妈微笑着向我打招呼。似乎没有什么问题。不过，我还是不相信。我环顾四周，寻找我的小妹妹Callie，我没看到她，却看到了凌乱的客厅，我四处找了一下，她就坐在沙发上，黏糊糊的手里拿着电视遥控器。她从沙发上跳下来，跑向我，抱着我的膝盖，几乎把我掀翻了。“嗨，Callie，”我说，微微一笑。我弄乱了她长长的厚厚的头发，一些白面包屑落在了地毯上。“奶酪，姐姐。”Callie指着已经落在地毯上的白色碎屑说。我发现它们身上有一股强烈的奶酪的味道。Callie不可能只专注于摧毁客厅，那绝不是我的妹妹，那个破坏者。我转过身来，开始惊恐地爬进我的房间。不出所料，又是一团糟，我怒了，而妹妹因为我的生气吓坏了，我不忍心决定开始安慰她，姐妹和好如初。
【详解】1.段落续写：
