4.(6分)Out of a home bakery in Bowie, Maryland, a young entrepreneur(创业者) creates treats that are as delicious as they are helpful. For each cupcake this baker sells, he gives one away to someone in need. Behind the operation is 14﹣year﹣old Michael Platt.

Platt started baking with his grandmother at nine years old, and by 11,he has opened his own business. He calls his company \"Michael's Desserts\". \"I knew I wanted to start a business, but I didn't really know how to do it, I guess,\" Platt told the reporter while baking peppermint chocolate cupcakes at home.

\"My parents got me a pair of Tom's shoes for Christmas. And Tom Shoes' business model is one﹣for﹣one,which is my business model,\" he said.

Platt recently got an order for a few dozen cupcakes, and as promised, he doubled the order and packed up the extra cupcakes to bring to a homeless shelter. The teen visits several shelters in the DMV area, and he also hands out cupcakes to homeless people on the street. \"Running a business, especially at my age is kind of hard,\" he said. \"Because I have to do other stuff while my friends are at the park or something. But, it's also really fun because I get to have an experience a lot of people don't get to have.\"

Platt's mom often comes to help bake large orders and his parents will transport the donated cupcakes. \"When your kids say they're interested in doing something so positive, you're going to do what any parent does and make it work,\" she said.

Platt hopes to open a pay﹣what﹣you﹣can grocery store for people who want to shop for affordable items. The nonprofit also offers classes for grocery shopping on a budget and gardening to give people more food options.

As if running the bakery and charity wasn't enough,Platt partners with No Kid Hungry and raises money for the organization which helps children in need of food. He's also been a contestant on Food Network's \"Kids Baking Championship.\"

On top of all of that, Platt recently gave a TED talk on being a young entrepreneur. He hopes his story inspires people to help others. \"Kids can do what they love to do and also be able to help people,\" he said as he iced his peppermint cupcakes.

(1)What inspired Platt to start his one﹣for﹣one business? A. A shoe company.

第5页(共36页)

B. His baking skills. C. A homeless shelter. D. His mother's support.

(2)What does Platt think of running a business? A. Worthy. B. Easy. C. Amusing. D. Relaxing.

(3)What does the passage intend to tell the readers? A. It is good to learn from other people. B. Family support leads to people's success. C. A youth with love can make a big difference. D. Success always favors those who are prepared.

5.(8分)Scientists have discovered an astonishing number of Antarctic blue whales in the waters off the coast of South Georgia, an island in the South Atlantic Ocean, suggesting decades of conservation efforts are paying off.

During a 23﹣day survey, a team of researchers from the British Antarctic Survey(BAS) counted 55 animals. Dr. Trevor Branch, a scientist from the University of Washington, who specializes in studying blue whales, said the number was truly amazing.

In the last century, Antarctic blue whales were nearly hunted to extinction for their blubber, a thick layer of fat that marine animals have under their skin to keep their bodies warm. Hunters used the blubber for oil to use in products like soap or fuel for oil lamps. Around South Australia, more than 33000 Wales are believed to have been killed. A hunting ban was introduced in 1966, but by that time the whales were critically endangered. In 2018 there were reported to be only around 3000 Antarctic blue whales left.

These sightings by the BAS team, helped by scientists from the University of Auckland in New Zealand, are a positive sign that the population is increasing.

\"In a period of 40 or 50 years,I only had records for two sightings of blue whales around South Georgia,\" Dr. Branch told the reporter. \"So to go from basically nothing to 55 in one year is astonishing.\" The cold water around South Georgia has always been popular with

第6页(共36页)

whales because it is crowded with krill, tiny shrimp﹣like creatures that are the whales' favorite food.

The high count was so unusual that other scientists wondered whether it was a one﹣off,perhaps caused by usually high number of krill temporarily attracting whales from other areas. However,Dr. Jennifer Jackson from BAS says the quantity of krill was no different from other years. She's confident the population growth shown in the recordings is real and down to the protection that the whales now have. This remains to be seen,but it is highly suggested that when the next assessment is released,most likely at the end of 2021,it could show a further increase in the number of Antarctic blue whales. With the comeback of the whale,this could be an inspiration for environmental campaigns that still have progress to make.

(1)Para. 3 is mainly about . A. the effect of the hunting ban B. the efforts to save blue whales C. the importance of blue whales D. the danger that blue whales faced

(2)What can we infer about the blue whales from the passage? A. They will not be endangered in the near future. B. The number of them rises because their food increases. C. More conservation activities will be held to protect them. D. The coast of South Georgia offered them suitable temperature.

(3)As for other scientists' opinion on the high count, Dr. Jennifer Jackson is . A. supportive B. disapproving C. fearful D. uncertain

(4)What is the best title of the passage? A. An Amazing Secret of Blue Whales B. Blue Whales Makes Surprise Comeback C. The Best Way to Protect Blue Whales

第7页(共36页)

D. Blue Whales Set New Trends in Conservation

6.(8分)The constant rise of global demand for protein poses a threat of meat shortage in the agricultural sector. To address this, a few scientists use artificial meat as an alternative to traditional ones, which from the growing process to its benefits proves it does no harm or even it does good to us.

Currently, one of the most advanced techniques to grow meat in the lab involves taking cells from an animal and changing them to muscle cells. The cells are then cultured with nutrients and essential vitamins and can be developed to any quantity and then shaped into hamburgers, steaks or mince, and so it is also called \"cultured\" meat. \"Cultured meat is not genetically engineered,\" Dr. Mark Post of Maastricht University says. \"It is meat grown from the same cells that produce the meat in the cow,but this time outside the cow.\" He believes that cultured meat shouldn't be any better or worse for you than old﹣school animal flesh.

This may sound like science fiction, but it is not such a strange idea and there are reasons to be excited about it. \"The environment impacts of cultured meat could be lower than those of meat produced in the conventional way,\" said Hanna Tuomisto,a researcher at Oxford University. The process would require between 7% and 45% less energy than the same volume of conventionally produced meat such as pork,beef or lamb, and could be engineered to use only 1% of the land and 4% of the water associated with conventional meat. Tuomisto's research also shows that cultured meat could be part of the solution to feeding the world's growing population, at the same time cutting emissions(排放) and saving both energy and water.

Aside from the above benefits,cultured meat should also provide cheap nutrition. Animal protein is an increasing part of diets, as millions of people in rapidly emerging economies are drawn out of poverty and become able to afford more meat in their diets. The pressure this creates has been an important factor in rapidly rising grain prices, deforestation in the Amazon basin, increasing water shortage and rising pressure to find new farmland. Growing meat artificially could potentially take huge pressure off farmlands around the world.

Another benefit would be to help animal welfare and protect endangered species. If most of our meat was grown, there would be no need for factory farms. Conditions for animals could be greatly improved. Elsewhere, it could also stop illegal endangered species hunts by

第8页(共36页)

providing an alternative way to produce meat form these species.

Exactly how long it takes before the meat is sold in supermarkets depends on the investment in research and development. One thing seems clear: Unless vegetarianism catches on in a very big way, the world's demand for meat will soon outpace our supply of cows, chickens, pigs and other edible animals. The health and environmental impacts of cultured meat aren't going to be hypothetical(假设的) for much longer.

(1)What does the underlined word \"cultured\" probably mean? A. grown. B. sorted. C. connected. D. shaped.

(2)Compared with traditional meat, the artificial meat . A. tastes much better B. contains more nutrients C. saves more natural resources D. changes people's habit of eating meat

(3)The author tries to persuade the readers to accept his argument mainly by . A. comparing the results from different researches B. explaining the advantages of the artificial meat C. presenting the problems caused by meat shortage D. showing the current situation of food consumption

(4)Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

A.

B.

How to Give Feedback that People Will Listen to

If we want to grow as people,we can't just rely on our own evaluation of how we're doing.(1) Receiving feedback from peers (同辈) can help us see the bigger picture and show us a path forward to success. However, someone has to give that feedback,and sometimes,that someone will be you. How should you approach this?

First, if you spot a situation in which some feedback would be helpful, give it as soon as you can. If you wait until the matter fades from the person's mind, they might not understand what you're trying to tell them.(2) When you're giving feedback, it's important to keep in mind that no one likes to be told they're doing a bad job.(3) Like the saying goes, \"A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.\"

All good feedback shares a few key elements. First, it should help accomplish a specific goal. It's less useful to tell your friend that their dish tastes \"interesting\" than it is to suggest adding a little salt to improve the flavor. Feedback should also look toward the future.(4) Tell your friend they should take more notes in class instead of talking about how they should have studied harder for the big biology exam they failed.

(5) If someone said that you were boring in your speech, would you know how to fix it? Being told you should add a funny story at the end is a lot easier to put into practice.

第10页(共36页)

Finally, don't assume your suggestion is the only correct way to deal with a situation. Consider other points of view and keep your ego (自我) under control. You might even end up with some feedback on your feedback. Don't take it personally ﹣ it can only help you give better advice next time!

A. Feedback should be clear and well timed, or it's likely to be ignored. B. We also need to know what other people think about our performance. C. This can help you be successful in your role and clear the way for promotions. D. To make your feedback more useful, it should focus on the action, not the person. E. You can't change what's happened, but you can prevent it from happening again. F. Make sure you give an equal amount of positive feedback to balance out anything negative. G. While positive feedback is certainly necessary, it is also important to let others know their mistakes.

The Red Fox

The first time ever I saw you,you were so little and your face was so special,that I couldn't even take a picture. You looked almost like some kind of new, unknown species. You looked funny and far beyond cute.

I soon discovered that not only did you look different, you actually were different. While your siblings wisely kept some distance from this unknown human being, you just bravely walked right past my feet. And I noticed you were even smaller than I had assumed.

I sat alone near your den(窝)for hours and hours. When you and your little brother and sister were small,it seemed to rain continuously and it was way too cold for that time of the year. Everything was dirty, cold and wet. Many of these hours,I truly wondered what on earth I was doing there. Until you suddenly showed up, out of the blue. In my memory, it stopped raining immediately and the sun came through.

You were still a baby fox that needed a lot of sleep. You rolled up in a clump of grass,

第11页(共36页)

closed your eyes and slept. And I could keep watch. When it rained, your hair used to curl and that was another part of you that was different. Foxes coats don't curl at all, but yours did, which made you look like a little rat.

Although you remained smaller than the rest of the pack, you did grow up to be an energetic fox kit. You were doing just fine! Your mother had never been the greatest huntress. Fortunately,she kept on feeding you, although not always so warmly. But you, the smallest of the pack, you made it! For months and months I enjoyed watching you grow up to gradually take the shape of a real fox. A bit of a strange fox, with your too long nose and misshapen teeth,but for me you were the most beautiful fox ever. It's wonderful to be allowed to follow all of this so closely. You were great. Thank you, super fox.

(1)Why did the author think the fox's fur different? (2)Please paraphrase the underlined sentence.

(3)Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.

The writer did not like the fox when it grew up because it looked strange. (4)Please write one of your experiences with animals. 第二节(20分)

When I decided to return to school at age thirty﹣five,I wasn't at all worried about my ability(5) to do (do) the work. After all, I was a grown woman who had raised a family, not a confused teenager fresh out of high school. But when I started classes, I realized that those \"confused teenagers\" sitting around me were in much(6) better (good) shape for college than I was. They still had all their classroom skills in bright, shiny condition,(7) while / but mine had grown rusty(生锈的) from disuse. I had to learn many things from the beginning.

C

When the clock strikes 2:30 in the afternoon, how do you usually feel? If you often feel tired and sleepy around this time, you're not alone! This tiredness,(8) known (know) as the 2:30 feeling, is caused by your body's natural cycle. Most people feel a big decrease(9) in energy in the early afternoon and at night. During these times, your body temperature goes down. A chemical(10) which/that causes you to feel tired is also released as your temperature lowers.

【分析】A:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一只在四川省联合河遗址出土的陶土猪引起了中国网民热议。

B:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述作者35岁重返校园时的学习状况。

C:这是一篇说明文。介绍了为什么人们到了每天下午两点半左右的时候就会感到又困又累。

【解答】(1)was found.考查时态和语态。句意: 2019年,在四川省联合河遗址发现了一只陶土猪。根据时间状语in 2019可知,本句应该用一般过去时。主语clay pig与find之间为被动关系,所以用被动语态。故填was found.

(2)What.考查名词性从句。句意:这个发现的不同寻常之处在于它可爱的外表。分析句子结构可知,这里为主语从句,从句中缺少主语,且指物,所以连接词what,句首首字母大写。 故填What.

(3)Its考查代词。句意:它的可爱形象让中国网民又惊又喜,许多人开玩笑说,《愤怒的小鸟》角色穿越到了史前时代。修饰名词image ,前面应该用形容词性物主代词,句首首字母大写。故填Its.

(4)has attracted/has been attracting.考查时态。句意:自这只猪被发现以来,这个话题已经吸引了4亿的浏览量和29万的讨论量。根据时间状语since the pig was discovered可知

第17页(共36页)

用现在完成时,表示到现在为止,或使用现在完成进行时,表示该动作从过去开始, 一直延续到现在,并且未来一段时间内还会继续延续下去。故填has attracted/has been attracting.

(5)to do.考查不定式。句意:当我决定在35岁时重返校园时,我一点也不担心我的工作能力。名词ability后接不定式作定语。故填to do.

(6)better.考查比较级。句意:但是当我开始上课的时候,我意识到那些坐在我周围的\"迷茫的青少年\"要比我更适合上大学。根据than和much可知,用形容词的比较级形式。故填better.

(7)while / but.考查连词。句意:他们仍然在明亮、闪闪发光的环境中学习所有的课堂技能,但我的技能已经因为不用而生锈了。根据句意,前后句之间为转折关系,所以用转折连词。故填while / but.

(8)known.考查过去分词。句意:这种被称为两点半的疲倦感是由身体的自然循环引起的。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词,此处应使用非谓语动词形式。know与This tiredness为逻辑上的动宾关系,应用过去分词形式作定语,故填known.

(9)in.考查介词。句意:大多数人在下午早些时候和晚上会感到精力大幅下降。a decrease in sth意思是\"在…减少\",固定短语,这里是指下午早些时候\"精力\"会感到下降,故填in. (10)which/that.考查定语从句。句意:随着体温降低,一种会让你感到疲劳的化学物质也会释放出来。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导定语从句,先行词为A chemical,指物,在从句中充当主语,所以要用which或者that引导。故填which/that.

【点评】高考语法填空是一道综合性比较强,考查点比较多的一个题型.考查形式分为有提示词以及无提示词,考生要理解语篇, 须灵活运用各种语法知识,如单词词性、单词时态、名词单复数、连接词、代词、冠词等判断各空白处应填写的内容.最后再通读全文。

4.(6分)Out of a home bakery in Bowie, Maryland, a young entrepreneur(创业者) creates treats that are as delicious as they are helpful. For each cupcake this baker sells, he gives one away to someone in need. Behind the operation is 14﹣year﹣old Michael Platt.

Platt started baking with his grandmother at nine years old, and by 11,he has opened his own business. He calls his company \"Michael's Desserts\". \"I knew I wanted to start a business, but I didn't really know how to do it, I guess,\" Platt told the reporter while baking peppermint chocolate cupcakes at home.

\"My parents got me a pair of Tom's shoes for Christmas. And Tom Shoes' business model is one﹣for﹣one,which is my business model,\" he said.

Platt recently got an order for a few dozen cupcakes, and as promised, he doubled the order and packed up the extra cupcakes to bring to a homeless shelter. The teen visits several shelters in the DMV area, and he also hands out cupcakes to homeless people on the street. \"Running a business, especially at my age is kind of hard,\" he said. \"Because I have to do other stuff while my friends are at the park or something. But, it's also really fun because I get to have an experience a lot of people don't get to have.\"

Platt's mom often comes to help bake large orders and his parents will transport the donated cupcakes. \"When your kids say they're interested in doing something so positive, you're going to do what any parent does and make it work,\" she said.

Platt hopes to open a pay﹣what﹣you﹣can grocery store for people who want to shop for affordable items. The nonprofit also offers classes for grocery shopping on a budget and gardening to give people more food options.

As if running the bakery and charity wasn't enough,Platt partners with No Kid Hungry and raises money for the organization which helps children in need of food. He's also been a contestant on Food Network's \"Kids Baking Championship.\"

On top of all of that, Platt recently gave a TED talk on being a young entrepreneur. He hopes his story inspires people to help others. \"Kids can do what they love to do and also be able to help people,\" he said as he iced his peppermint cupcakes.

5.(8分)Scientists have discovered an astonishing number of Antarctic blue whales in the waters off the coast of South Georgia, an island in the South Atlantic Ocean, suggesting decades of conservation efforts are paying off.

During a 23﹣day survey, a team of researchers from the British Antarctic Survey(BAS) counted 55 animals. Dr. Trevor Branch, a scientist from the University of Washington, who specializes in studying blue whales, said the number was truly amazing.

In the last century, Antarctic blue whales were nearly hunted to extinction for their blubber, a thick layer of fat that marine animals have under their skin to keep their bodies warm. Hunters used the blubber for oil to use in products like soap or fuel for oil lamps. Around South Australia, more than 33000 Wales are believed to have been killed. A hunting ban was introduced in 1966, but by that time the whales were critically endangered. In 2018 there were reported to be only around 3000 Antarctic blue whales left.

These sightings by the BAS team, helped by scientists from the University of Auckland in New Zealand, are a positive sign that the population is increasing.

\"In a period of 40 or 50 years,I only had records for two sightings of blue whales around South Georgia,\" Dr. Branch told the reporter. \"So to go from basically nothing to 55 in one year is astonishing.\" The cold water around South Georgia has always been popular with whales because it is crowded with krill, tiny shrimp﹣like creatures that are the whales'

favorite food.

The high count was so unusual that other scientists wondered whether it was a one﹣off,perhaps caused by usually high number of krill temporarily attracting whales from other areas. However,Dr. Jennifer Jackson from BAS says the quantity of krill was no different from other years. She's confident the population growth shown in the recordings is real and down to the protection that the whales now have. This remains to be seen,but it is highly suggested that when the next assessment is released,most likely at the end of 2021,it could show a further increase in the number of Antarctic blue whales. With the comeback of the whale,this could be an inspiration for environmental campaigns that still have progress to make.

(1)Para. 3 is mainly about D . A. the effect of the hunting ban B. the efforts to save blue whales C. the importance of blue whales D. the danger that blue whales faced

(2)What can we infer about the blue whales from the passage? C A. They will not be endangered in the near future. B. The number of them rises because their food increases. C. More conservation activities will be held to protect them. D. The coast of South Georgia offered them suitable temperature.

To address this, a few scientists use artificial meat as an alternative to traditional ones, which from the growing process to its benefits proves it does no harm or even it does good to us.

Currently, one of the most advanced techniques to grow meat in the lab involves taking cells from an animal and changing them to muscle cells. The cells are then cultured with nutrients and essential vitamins and can be developed to any quantity and then shaped into hamburgers, steaks or mince, and so it is also called \"cultured\" meat. \"Cultured meat is not genetically engineered,\" Dr. Mark Post of Maastricht University says. \"It is meat grown from the same cells that produce the meat in the cow,but this time outside the cow.\" He believes that cultured meat shouldn't be any better or worse for you than old﹣school animal flesh.

This may sound like science fiction, but it is not such a strange idea and there are reasons to be excited about it. \"The environment impacts of cultured meat could be lower than those of meat produced in the conventional way,\" said Hanna Tuomisto,a researcher at Oxford University. The process would require between 7% and 45% less energy than the same volume of conventionally produced meat such as pork,beef or lamb, and could be engineered to use only 1% of the land and 4% of the water associated with conventional meat. Tuomisto's research also shows that cultured meat could be part of the solution to feeding the world's growing population, at the same time cutting emissions(排放) and saving both energy and water.

Aside from the above benefits,cultured meat should also provide cheap nutrition. Animal

第26页(共36页)

protein is an increasing part of diets, as millions of people in rapidly emerging economies are drawn out of poverty and become able to afford more meat in their diets. The pressure this creates has been an important factor in rapidly rising grain prices, deforestation in the Amazon basin, increasing water shortage and rising pressure to find new farmland. Growing meat artificially could potentially take huge pressure off farmlands around the world.

Another benefit would be to help animal welfare and protect endangered species. If most of our meat was grown, there would be no need for factory farms. Conditions for animals could be greatly improved. Elsewhere, it could also stop illegal endangered species hunts by providing an alternative way to produce meat form these species.

Exactly how long it takes before the meat is sold in supermarkets depends on the investment in research and development. One thing seems clear: Unless vegetarianism catches on in a very big way, the world's demand for meat will soon outpace our supply of cows, chickens, pigs and other edible animals. The health and environmental impacts of cultured meat aren't going to be hypothetical(假设的) for much longer.

(1)What does the underlined word \"cultured\" probably mean? A A. grown. B. sorted. C. connected. D. shaped.

(2)Compared with traditional meat, the artificial meat C . A. tastes much better B. contains more nutrients C. saves more natural resources D. changes people's habit of eating meat

(3)The author tries to persuade the readers to accept his argument mainly by . A. comparing the results from different researches B. explaining the advantages of the artificial meat C. presenting the problems caused by meat shortage D. showing the current situation of food consumption

How to Give Feedback that People Will Listen to

If we want to grow as people,we can't just rely on our own evaluation of how we're doing.(1) Receiving feedback from peers (同辈) can help us see the bigger picture and show us a path forward to success. However, someone has to give that feedback,and sometimes,that someone will be you. How should you approach this?

First, if you spot a situation in which some feedback would be helpful, give it as soon as you can. If you wait until the matter fades from the person's mind, they might not understand what you're trying to tell them.(2) A

When you're giving feedback, it's important to keep in mind that no one likes to be told they're doing a bad job.(3) F Like the saying goes, \"A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.\"

All good feedback shares a few key elements. First, it should help accomplish a specific goal. It's less useful to tell your friend that their dish tastes \"interesting\" than it is to suggest adding a little salt to improve the flavor. Feedback should also look toward the future.(4) E Tell your friend they should take more notes in class instead of talking about how they should have studied harder for the big biology exam they failed.

(5) D If someone said that you were boring in your speech, would you know how to fix it? Being told you should add a funny story at the end is a lot easier to put into practice. Finally, don't assume your suggestion is the only correct way to deal with a situation. Consider other points of view and keep your ego (自我) under control. You might even end up with some feedback on your feedback. Don't take it personally ﹣ it can only help you give better advice next time!

A. Feedback should be clear and well timed, or it's likely to be ignored. B. We also need to know what other people think about our performance. C. This can help you be successful in your role and clear the way for promotions. D. To make your feedback more useful, it should focus on the action, not the person. E. You can't change what's happened, but you can prevent it from happening again. F. Make sure you give an equal amount of positive feedback to balance out anything negative.

第30页(共36页)

G. While positive feedback is certainly necessary, it is also important to let others know their mistakes.

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何给予人们愿意倾听的反馈。

【解答】(1)B.推理判断题。上文\"If we want to grow as people, we can't just rely on our own evaluation of how we're doing.(如果我们想要成长,我们不能只依赖于自己对自己做得如何的评估。)\"说明评估不能只靠自己。下文\"Receiving feedback from peers can help us see the bigger picture and show us a path forward to success.(从同龄人那里得到反馈可以帮助我们看到更大的图景,为我们指明通往成功的道路。)\"说明我们要从别人得到评估。B选项We also need to know what other people think about our performance.(我们还需要知道其他人对我们表现的看法。)符合题意。other people呼应 other people。故选B项。 (2)A. 细节理解题。上文\"If you wait until the matter fades from the person's mind, they might not understand what you're trying to tell them.(如果你等到这件事从这个人的脑海中消失,他们可能不会理解你想要告诉他们的事情。)\"说明反馈的时机要找准。A选项Feedback should be clear and well timed, or it's likely to be ignored.(反馈应该清晰且时机恰当,否则很可能会被忽略。)符合文意。故选A项。

(3)F. 推理判断题。上文\"When you're giving feedback, it's important to keep in mind that no one likes to be told they're doing a bad job.(当你给予反馈时,你要记住,没有人喜欢别人说他们做得不好。)\"说明人都是喜欢积极反馈的。下文\"Like the saying goes, \"A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.\"(俗话说得好,\"一勺糖能让药下去。\")\"说明正负面的反馈要平等。F选项Make sure you give an equal amount of positive feedback to balance out anything negative.(确保你给了同等数量的积极反馈来平衡任何负面的东西。)符合上下文意。 no one likes to be told they're doing a bad job.呼应 positive feedback。故选F项。

(4)E. 推理判断题。上文\"Feedback should also look toward the future.(反馈也应该面向未来。)\"说明反馈面对的是未来的事情,而不是改变过去。E选项You can't change what's happened, but you can prevent it from happening again.(你无法改变已经发生的事情,但你可以阻止它再次发生。)符合文意。look toward the future呼应prevent it from happening again.故选E项。

(5)D. 推理判断题。下文\"Being told you should add a funny story at the end is a lot easier to put into practice.(如果有人告诉你应该在结尾加上一个有趣的故事,那么你就更容易付诸

第31页(共36页)

实践了。)\"说明反馈应集中在实践上。D选项To make your feedback more useful, it should focus on the action, not the person.(为了使你的反馈更有用,它应该集中在行动上,而不是人。)符合下文文意。 on the action呼应put into practice。故选D项。 【点评】技巧

The Red Fox

The first time ever I saw you,you were so little and your face was so special,that I couldn't even take a picture. You looked almost like some kind of new, unknown species. You looked funny and far beyond cute.

I soon discovered that not only did you look different, you actually were different. While your siblings wisely kept some distance from this unknown human being, you just bravely walked right past my feet. And I noticed you were even smaller than I had assumed.

I sat alone near your den(窝)for hours and hours. When you and your little brother and sister were small,it seemed to rain continuously and it was way too cold for that time of the year. Everything was dirty, cold and wet. Many of these hours,I truly wondered what on earth I was doing there. Until you suddenly showed up, out of the blue. In my memory, it stopped raining immediately and the sun came through.

You were still a baby fox that needed a lot of sleep. You rolled up in a clump of grass,closed your eyes and slept. And I could keep watch. When it rained, your hair used to curl and that was another part of you that was different. Foxes coats don't curl at all, but yours did, which made you look like a little rat.

Although you remained smaller than the rest of the pack, you did grow up to be an energetic fox kit. You were doing just fine! Your mother had never been the greatest huntress.

第32页(共36页)

Fortunately,she kept on feeding you, although not always so warmly. But you, the smallest of the pack, you made it! For months and months I enjoyed watching you grow up to gradually take the shape of a real fox. A bit of a strange fox, with your too long nose and misshapen teeth,but for me you were the most beautiful fox ever. It's wonderful to be allowed to follow all of this so closely. You were great. Thank you, super fox.

(1)Why did the author think the fox's fur different? Because its fur curled when raining. (2)Please paraphrase the underlined sentence. But you, the smallest of the fox family, you grew up finally.或But you, the smallest of the fox family, you succeeded. (3)Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.

The writer did not like the fox when it grew up because it looked strange. The writer did not like the fox when it grew up;理由是According to the passage, the fox looked a bit strange with its long nose and misshapen teeth, but the writer still thought it the most beautiful in the world, which mean she liked it.

(4)Please write one of your experiences with animals. I once had a pet dog. It likes to take a bath. Every time I help him take a bath from the bathroom, he will lie on his own bathrobe, then roll it up and dry it. We all find it very interesting! 【分析】本文讲述作者养了一只小狐狸,看着他慢慢长大的故事。

【解答】(1)Because its fur curled when raining.细节理解题。根据第四段中When it rained, your hair used to curl and that was another part of you that was different. 下雨的时候,你的毛发曾经是卷曲的,那是另一部分的你是不一样的。可知是因为它的毛在下雨时卷曲。故答案为Because its fur curled when raining.

(2)But you, the smallest of the fox family, you grew up finally.或But you, the smallest of the fox family, you succeeded.细节理解题。根据最后一段中For months and months I enjoyed watching you grow up to gradually take the shape of a real fox. 好几个月以来,我喜欢看着你慢慢长大,逐渐变成一只真正的狐狸。可知,you made it是指成功长大之意,所以本句可改写为But you, the smallest of the fox family, you grew up finally.或But you, the smallest of the fox family, you succeeded.

(3)The writer did not like the fox when it grew up;理由是According to the passage, the fox looked a bit strange with its long nose and misshapen teeth, but the writer still thought it the most beautiful in the world, which mean she liked it.细节理解题。 根据最后一段中A bit of a strange fox, with your too long nose and misshapen teeth,but for me you were the most beautiful fox ever. 狐狸看起来有点奇怪,鼻子太长,牙齿畸形,但对作者来说,它是最美丽的狐狸。这意味着作者喜欢它。所以划线部分为The writer did not like the fox when it grew up;理由是According to the passage, the fox looked a bit strange with its long nose and misshapen teeth, but the writer still thought it the most beautiful in the world, which mean she liked it.

(4)I once had a pet dog. It likes to take a bath. Every time I help him take a bath from the bathroom, he will lie on his own bathrobe, then roll it up and dry it. We all find it very interesting!观点陈述题。本题为开放性题目,言之有理即可。比如:我曾经养过一只宠物狗,它喜欢洗澡。每次我帮他从浴室里洗完澡,他就会躺在他自己的浴袍上,然后卷起来擦干,我们都觉得很有趣!故答案为I once had a pet dog. It likes to take a bath. Every time I help him take a bath from the bathroom, he will lie on his own bathrobe, then roll it up and dry it. We all find it very interesting!
