The initial report had come around noon on a recent Saturday via a call to the hotline of Volunteers for Wildlife, an organization where I am a board member. I got to the spot first and, no surprise, no opossum. People unaccustomed to seeing nocturnal (夜间的) animals during the day think that the animals are in trouble. Although the callers are well-intentioned, sometimes the animal is neither in trouble nor a threat.‎ When Giacomo, a trooper, drove up, he said the opossum had been spotted farther south and we proceeded south on the grass while steady traffic flew by in the other direction!‎ Then I finally saw the grayish opossum sitting unsteadily at the top of the highway divider, obviously frightened and only a few feet from certain death on each side. The animal was frozen in ‎ place, shaking. Its dark eyes looked straight down.‎ Giacomo, turned on his car’s flashing lights, drove south a few hundred yards farther on the grass—and very carefully turned into the oncoming traffic, which came to a stop behind him. Then he drove slowly ahead, with the cars at a crawl behind him.‎ I grabbed my net and towel, put on my Kevlar gloves and slowly approached my frightened creature. I dropped the net over him, threw a towel over that to make sure the animal stayed on my side of the highway divider, and then grabbed it.‎ The opossum protested with a few attempts to bite my hand, but I imagined it was relieved to get off the divider. I placed it on the road to check for any injury, but as soon as I lifted the net, the opossum was off like a shot toward the roadside, heading for the safety of the trees.‎ It was a shared moment of joy. I followed the opossum as it disappeared into the woods and smiled.‎ ‎24. What can we learn about the calls to the hotline?‎ A. They usually offer no help.‎ B. They usually cause trouble.‎ C. They often shock the volunteers.‎ D. They sometimes give false information.‎ ‎25. What was the opossum like when the author spotted it?‎ A. It was extremely weak.‎ B. It got injured in the eye.‎ C. It was in great danger.‎ D. It was shaking with anger.‎ ‎26. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 5 refer to?‎ A. The net. B. The gloves.‎ C. The opossum. D. The divider.‎ ‎27. How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?‎ A. It’s unexpected. B. It’s beautiful.‎ C. It’s humorous. D. It’s discouraging.‎ C If you’re DIY-minded, you can build your own solar power system. In some cases, you can ‎ even build your own solar panels, although the amount that you can effectively DIY home solar depends on how much you want to power. Making your own solar panel is a time-consuming process and requires some electrical skills. However, it can also be very rewarding-learning to build your own panel is a great way to understand how electricity is generated.‎ Before you can build your own solar panels, you first need to understand how solar cells generate electricity. Once you’ve bought individual solar cells (they can be purchased online), the basic process for building your own solar panel goes like this: Prepare the backing for your panel. Many DIY solar panel builders prefer to use a wooden board as the base for their solar cells. You’ll need to drill holes in the board so that the wires for each cell can pass through. Wire your to solar cells together. This requires some experience for electrical work. Use a soldering iron (烙铁) to attach wire to the solar cells and then link each of the cells together. Attach cells to your backing. If possible, attach each solar cell to the backing individually. This makes it easier to replace a single cell in the event that becomes damaged or is not operating properly.‎ At this point you have a functional solar panel that can produce electricity when the sun shines. However, a solar panel by itself is not useful. If you are trying to generate electricity to power devices in your home, you need to pair your panel with inverter (转换器) that will turn direct current (DC) power from the sun into alternating current (AC) power used in most electronic devices.‎ ‎28. What does the author think of building DIY solar panel in paragraph 1?‎ A. It is easy. B. It is necessary.‎ C. It is common. D. It is worthwhile.‎ ‎29. What’s the first step of building your own solar panel?‎ A. Master the advanced knowledge of science.‎ B. Buy individual solar cells.‎ C. Prepare the backing for your panel.‎ D. Drill holes in the wooden board.‎ ‎30. Why are solar cells connected to the wooden board separately?‎ A. To produce more power.‎ B. To pass through the wooden board easily.‎ C. To attach cells to the backing tightly.‎ D. To substitute damaged cells easily.‎ ‎31. What can be inferred from the text?‎ A. People with electrical skills have advantages over those without in DIY solar panels.‎ B. A functional solar panel can give power to your home devices directly.‎ C How to pair an inverter depends on how much power you want to power.‎ D. A wooden board is a must for your own solar panels.‎ D Most of us don’t reach for that gnarled (多瘤的) carrot when selecting our produce at the local supermarket. That’s exactly why Americans waste up to 40% of edible food every year. This unbelievable number has sparked the “ugly food” movement, inspiring many companies to sell ugly fruit and vegetables to consumers, rather than throwing them in the trash.‎ One San Francisco organization is taking a unique approach. The Salvage Supperclub hosts fancy dinners inside dumpsters (垃圾箱) where they serve dishes entirely prepared with food that would have otherwise gone to waste.‎ Josh Treuhaft, founder of these ugly food dinners, originally came up with the idea to bring about the awareness of America’s food waste problem. “There is undeveloped potential in their food that for some reason, not to their own fault, is going to waste,” he told Seeker’s Laura Ling.‎ Treuhaft isn’t alone in his effort to reduce America’s food waste. A change.org request last year called for Whole Foods to become part of the ugly food movement. They sold misshapen (畸形的) fruits and vegetables in Northern California stores.‎ Selling imperfect produce is still relatively rare right now, which can be partially attributed to a supply issue rather than a lack of willing participants. Raley’s, a Sacramento-based grocery chain, started an ugly food pilot program called “Real Good”, but discontinued it after 90 days saying they had “some challenges sourcing the product”. A grower might have large amounts of ugly produce one year due to terrible weather, but much less the next year if the weather is better. Harvests constantly vary and retailers are more likely to buy ugly produce in large number rather than just a few pounds at a time.‎ This is why organizations like the Salvage Supperclub are playing an important role in the prevention of food waste. The Salvage Supperclub takes it a step further by not only buying the ugly produce, but turning it into a good dining experience as well.‎ ‎32. What does the underlined words “edible food” in Paragraph 1 refer to?‎ A. Healthy food. B. Expensive food.‎ C. Food suitable to eat. D. Food grown locally.‎ ‎33. Why does the Salvage Supperclub have dinners inside the dumpsters?‎ A. To share their fancy ideas.‎ B. To warn people not to waste.‎ C. To show waste should be reused.‎ D. To advise people not to throw dumpsters.‎ ‎34. What makes Raley’s stop its “Real Good” after 90 days of its operation?‎ A. Lack of sources of product.‎ B. Retailers’ pursuing larger profit.‎ C. Bad harvests due to bad weather.‎ D. People’s unwillingness to buy imperfect produce.‎ ‎35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Joining in the Ugly Food Movement.‎ B. An Unusual Dining Experience.‎ C. Making Full Use of Ugly Food.‎ D. The Food Waste Problem in America.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ My older sister who was playing volleyball in the middle school club revealed that her training was very exciting and her team needed more players. 36 Besides, I thought playing volleyball with my sister would delight my life after I entered middle school. After graduating from elementary school, I told my sister about entering her volleyball club.‎ ‎ 37 Choosing the club was really important for me. There were several clubs I could choose from: badminton, traffic, and violin. My first thought was violin, but I liked physical activity, so I deleted it from my option. Then my oldest sister suggested me playing badminton, grinning at me proudly.‎ Afterward, I joined the badminton club at middle school. I played pretty well in that team. 38 And I competed with my older sister about which club was better, badminton or volleyball.‎ ‎ However, I had to live in Thailand, so I got only one year to play. I decided to bring my new racket to Thailand, but I worried that I might possess no opportunity to play badminton there.‎ Luckily, after living in Thailand, I could play badminton at school and joined JV badminton team. My English skill was not that good then, but by playing with people, I learned both English and new badminton techniques. In that year, our team got first place in BISAC and I got Most Improved Player. 39 I tried to speak English to people actively and did my best for everything.‎ Looking back, if I had chosen to do volleyball in middle school, I would have lost the chance to play badminton with my teammates and my personality might not be active as what I am. 40 ‎ A. However, she rejected me unexpectedly.‎ B. That changed my life at school too.‎ C. I loved to do what can amuse me.‎ D. Thankfully, she thought it was not a bad idea.‎ E. There were plenty to talk about it with my family.‎ F. My stay in Thailand was a very exciting and unforgettable experience.‎ G. Although losing my first dream, I enjoy playing badminton the rest of my life.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Though it had been a bad day in the early morning, I thought work had to be done.

All restaurants in America accept cash for payment, and most also accept credit cards. You will seldom find a restaurant that accepts checks. It is common to have to wait for a table in a popular restaurant. There are many popular restaurants that do not accept bookings, or only accept bookings for large parties, for example, 6 or more people. Many restaurants in America have a license to serve alcohol. The drinking age in America is 21.‎ Tipping is another custom. American restaurants do not add a service charge to the bill. Therefore, it is expected that the customer will leave a tip for the server. The common practice is to leave a tip that is equal to 15% of the total bill for acceptable service, and 20% for superior service. Smoking in America is not always considered to be a good social habit. Smoking is not as common in America as in many other countries. Generally, Americans smoke less than Europeans and much less than Asians. It is a fact that smoking is becoming less and less socially acceptable. Smoking is forbidden in many places. The legal smoking age in America is 18.‎ 二、参考答案 第一部分：听力 ‎1-5 AACBC 6-10 BCCBA 11-15 ABCAB 16-20 BACBC 第二部分：阅读理解 ‎21-23 BCD 24-27 DCAB 28-31 DBDA 32- 35 CBAC 36-40 CAEBG 第三部分：知识与运用 完型填空 ‎41-45 AB DDC 46-50 CADBA 51-55 BCDBD 56-60 ACBAC 阅读填空 ‎ ‎61. appeals 62. your 63. when 64. lines 65. to reduce 66. without 67. be listed ‎68. waking 69. an 70. fully 短文改错 Recently, our class have had a heated discussion about that whether the People Zoo should be moved out of the ‎ ‎ 删除that city.
