Since then my taste buds have 18 and I’m also fully aware of the health benefits of
eating fresh vegetables.But we still need 19 of the amazing goodness these green super foods

Day”—five portions of fruit and vegetables.That’s 21 evidence has shown there are
significant health 22 to getting at least five 80g portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables
every day.
But I struggle to try to fit these five portions into my daily 23 ，partly because I have a sweet
24 and vegetables are，well，tasteless.Researchers have been 25 how to make eating vegetables
more 26 .They analysed the psychology behind our food 27 and found that most of us
are 28 by taste.Brad Turnwald from Stanford University says that “studies show that people
29 to think of healthier options as less tasty for some reason.”
In Europe，a project called VeggieEAT has also been trying to find ways to get people to 30
more vegetables.Project leader，Professor Heather Hartwell believes in 31 encouraging people
into eating the right things.One idea has been to put a 32 of a tasty looking fruit on a supermarket trolley as a 33 about buying something from the fruit store.She says，“Choice is
a really 34 thing.But making vegetables look attractive will increase their sales.”
Certainly，eating “twisted citrus-glazed carrots” does sound tempting，even if it just 35
like a carrot，but if it makes us eat more vegetables then that can only be a good thing for our health.

(2019·苏州八校高三三模)While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China
such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts ，many excellent
Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.
Their efforts have been proven fruitful.Wang Shu，a 49-year-old Chinese architect，won the
2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize—which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture—on
February 28.He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.
Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art(CAA).His
office is located at the Xiangshan campus( 校 园 ) of the university in Hangzhou ， Zhejiang
Province.Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.
The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities.Many visitors
were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types.The curves(曲线) of
the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills，forming a unique view.
Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages.He asked the workers
to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls ， roofs and corridors.This creation
attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).
Wang’s works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of
traditions.Through such a balance，he had created a new type of Chinese architecture，said Tadao
Ando，the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.
Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums.“That is only
evidence that traditions once existed，” he said.
“Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions.They think tradition means old
things from the past.In fact，tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are
still being created，” he said.
“Today，many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing
on Chinese traditions.Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really
are，” said Wang.
The study of traditions should be combined with practice.Otherwise ， the recreation of
traditions would be artificial and empty，he said.
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文，题材是人物报道。文章报道了 2012 年度建筑界的最高奖项
——普利兹克奖的获得者王澍及其作品风格。
38.Wang’s winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are .
A.following the latest world trend
B.getting international recognition
C.working harder than ever before
D.relying on foreign architects答案 B
解析 推理判断题。第一段是文章的中心段，第二段讲述了中国建筑设计师获得了建筑界的
诺贝尔奖——普利兹克奖，这个例子是用来说明第一段后半句的：许多优秀的中国建筑设计
师正进入世界建筑设计舞台的中心。故选 B。
39.What made Wang’s architectural design a success?
A.The mixture of different shapes.
B.The balance of East and West.
C.The use of popular techniques.
D.The harmony of old and new.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第五段第三句“This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its
mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).”和第六段第二句中的“Through such
a balance，he had created a new type of Chinese architecture...”可知，传统与现代元素的和谐共
存是王澍建筑设计成功的秘密。故选 D。
40.What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang?
A.Spread them to the world.
B.Preserve them at museums.
C.Teach them in universities.
D.Recreate them in practice.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第一句“The study of traditions should be combined with
practice.”和第二句中的“the recreation of traditions”可知，王澍认为应在实践中对传统进行
再创造。故选 D。
C
The vast grasslands of the High Plains in the central United States were settled by farmers and
ranchers(牧场主) in the 1880s.This region has a dry climate，and for 50 years after its settlement，
it supported a low-intensity agricultural economy of cattle ranching and wheat farming.In the early
twentieth century，however，it was discovered that much of the area was underlain by a huge
aquifer(地下蓄水层).This aquifer was named the Ogallala Aquifer after the Ogallala Sioux Indians，
who once lived in the region.
The Ogallala Aquifer is a sandstone formation that underlies some 583,000 square kilometers
of land extending from northwestern Texas to southern South Dakota.Water from rains and melting
snows has been accumulating in the Ogallala for the past 30,000 years.Estimates indicate that the
aquifer contains enough water to fill Lake Huron，but unfortunately，under the semiarid(雨量很少
的) climatic conditions that presently exist in the region，rates of addition to the aquifer are minimal，
amounting to about half a centimeter a year.The first wells were drilled into the Ogallala Aquifer during the drought years of the early
1930s.Since then，Ogallala water has enabled the High Plains region to supply significant amounts
of cotton，wheat，and corn grown in the United States.
This development of a limited groundwater resource with an almost negligible natural
recharge rate—that is，virtually no natural water source to restore the water supply—has caused
water tables in the region to fall greatly.In the 1930s，wells encountered plentiful water at a depth
of about 15 meters；currently，they must be dug to depths of 45 to 60 meters or more.In some
places ， the water table is declining at a rate of a meter a year ， necessitating the use of
ever-more-powerful pumps.It is estimated that at current withdrawal rates，much of the aquifer will
run dry within 40 years.
The reaction of farmers to the unavoidable depletion( 用 尽 ) of Ogallala water varies.Many
have been attempting to conserve water by irrigating less frequently or by switching to crops that
require less water.Others ， however ， believe that it is best to use the water while it is still
economically profitable to do so.The motivation of the farmers who wish to conserve water is
reduced by their knowledge that many of their neighbors are profiting by using great amounts of
water.
In the face of the water supply crisis ， a number of grand plans have been developed to
transport vast quantities of water from the Mississippi ， the Missouri ， or the Arkansas rivers.
Unfortunately，the cost of water obtained through any of these plans would increase pumping costs
at least tenfold( 十 倍 地 ) ， making the cost of irrigated agricultural products from the region
uncompetitive on the national and international markets.
语篇解读 奥加拉拉蓄水层使得美国大平原一度成为农业兴盛之地，然而如今由于不加节制
地利用其水资源，该蓄水层面临枯竭的风险。
41.What can be learned about the High Plains?
A.Its first settlers were farmers and ranchers.
B.Its climate is characterized by high temperatures.
C.Its economy has been transformed since the 1930s.
D.Its aquifer was discovered by Ogallala Sioux Indians.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“it supported a low-intensity agricultural economy of cattle
ranching and wheat farming”及第三段中的“Ogallala water has enabled the High Plains region to
supply significant amounts of cotton，wheat，and corn grown in the United States”可知，20 世
纪 30 年代之前，即奥加拉拉蓄水层未被发现并利用前，大平原地区由于气候干旱，仅保有以
畜牧业和小麦种植为主的低密度农业经济，利用奥加拉拉蓄水层进行农业灌溉后，该地区农
业经济发展兴盛。42.What is unlikely to happen due to the heavy use of the Ogallala Aquifer?
A.Wells have to be dug to much greater depths.
B.The recharge rate of the aquifer is decreasing.
C.Water tables in the region are becoming lower.
D.More powerful pumps are needed to draw water.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段可知，由于几乎没有自然水资源进行补充，大量开发奥加拉
拉蓄水层的水资源导致地下水位下降，人们必须打更深的井，使用更大功率的水泵才能汲取
出水。B 项“对蓄水层的补充率不断下降”并非大规模开发利用奥加拉拉蓄水层的结果。
43.Which of the following presents a difficulty for the farmers trying to conserve water?
A.Irrigating less frequently leads to crop failure.
B.Farmers using a lot of water are making higher profits.
C.Crops needing little water haven’t been developed yet.
D.Few farmers believe the aquifer will eventually run dry.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The motivation of the farmers who wish to conserve water
is reduced by their knowledge that many of their neighbors are profiting by using great amounts of
water.”可知，一些农民本有意节水，然而，当看到别的农民依靠种植耗水农作物而大量盈利
后，他们节水的积极性受到了打击。
44.What does the author think of the grand plans mentioned in the last paragraph?
A.Unrealistic. B.Advanced.
C.Cost-effective. D.Eco-harmful.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Unfortunately，the cost of water...increase pumping costs
at least tenfold...uncompetitive on the national and international markets.”可知，作者认为，通过
任何一种计划获得水资源都会使得抽水成本提高至少十倍，进而导致这一地区的农产品成本
上升，失去竞争力。故可推知，作者认为这些供水计划不切实际。
D
From time to time，life can be unbelievably difficult.We are faced with challenges and events
that can seem overwhelming(势不可挡的)，life-destroying to the point where it may be hard to
decide whether to keep going.But you always have a choice.Jessica Heslop shares her powerful，
inspiring journey from the worst times in her life to the new life she has created for herself：
I worked in a finance job that I hated and I lived in a concrete jungle city with little green
color.I occupied my time with meaningless relationships and spent large quantities of money on
something worthless.I was searching for happiness and had no idea where to find it.
Then I fell ill with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome(慢性疲劳综合征) and became actually difficult to get up from bed.I had to quit my job and then was left with no income.I lived with my boyfriend
of then only 3 months who financially supported me and our relationship was put under great
pressure.I eventually regained my physical health ，but not long after that I got a call from my
family at home to say that my father’s cancer had fiercely progressed and that he had been
admitted to hospital.
I left the city and I went home to be with him.He died six months later.
My father was a complete inspiration to me.He was always so strong that，for a minute after he
drew his last breath，I honestly thought he would come back to life.I couldn’t believe I would
never again be against his big warm chest and feel safe no matter what.
The deep sorrow that followed was strong for all of us 5 children and our mother，but we had
each other.But my eldest sister at that time complained of a bad back.It got so bad after 2 months
that she too was admitted to hospital.They discovered that she had highly advanced cancer in her
bones and that there was nothing that they could do.She died one month later.
I could never put into words the loss of my sister in my life.She was a walking，talking angel
and my favourite person in the whole world.If someone could have asked me the worst thing that
could ever happen，it would have been losing her.
She was my soulmate and I never thought I would journey this lifetime without her.
The shock and extreme heart break brought me to my knees.The pain was so great and my
world just looked desolate.I had no real home，no money，no job，and no friends that cared.Not one
person had even sent me a sympathy card for my loss.
I made an attempt of my own life and I ended up in hospital.
I remember lying in the hospital bed ， looking up at the ceiling and seeing my sister’s
beautiful face.She stayed with me all night long.
I realized during that night that I had a choice.I could choose to end my life or I could choose
to live it.
I looked in my sister’s eyes and I made a decision not to go with her just yet.I would stay
and complete my journey here.
I also made the decision that I wouldn’t just live any life.I would live the life that I
absolutely love and nothing less.
At that moment，the idea was so clear that it was like a light shining in a dark room for the first
time.As if the earth’s plates had changed under my feet and everything suddenly looked real for
the first time.

解析 细节理解题。根据第七段最后一句“If someone could have asked me the worst thing that
could ever happen，it would have been losing her.”可知，大姐的去世是对 Jessica 最大的打击。
故选 C。
49.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “desolate”？
A.Small. B.Deserted.
C.Ugly. D.Imperfect.
答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。根据 desolate 后的两个句子可知，Jessica 认为她没有真正意义上的家，
没有钱，没有工作，也没有关心她的朋友。没有一个人因她失去亲人而寄给她慰问卡。因此，
她觉得自己仿佛被抛弃了。deserted 被抛弃的。故选 B。
50.What’s the best title of this passage?A.Turning Bad Things into Good Ones
B.Never Give Up Your Hope
C.The Importance of Choice
D.Living the Life You Love
答案 D
解析 标题归纳题。根据全文可知，Jessica 经历了人生种种磨难后做出的最终决定是“I would
live the life that I absolutely love and nothing less.”即：我要完全以自己想要的方式生活。该句
也起到对全文点题的作用，故选项 D 为正确答案。

On the surface ， one would be hard-pressed to find many similarities between German
chancellor Angela Merkel，Bangladeshi prime minister Sheikh Hasina，and Liberian president Ellen
Johnson Sirleaf—except for the fact that they are all female leaders of nations.Merkel，for example，
spent more than a decade as a chemist before going into politics，while Hasina，the daughter of
Bangladesh’s first president，served as her father’s political assistant while at college，and
Johnson Sirleaf worked at multiple financial institutions before running for vice president.Is there
something deeper than they share?
The researcher Susan R.Madsen of Utah Valley University interviewed women in some
countries about their paths to leadership.She was surprised by the similarities among the women
when they spoke about how they became leaders.“Every single one of them talked about finding
their voices and their confidence at dinner-table conversations with their families.Their parents
talked about politics，about what was happening in the community，and when the women had
something to say，their parents didn’t stop them，” Madsen said.
As part of a series of interviews on women and leadership ， I spoke to three women from
different countries who have each become leaders in their respective fields ： Agnes Igoye of
Uganda，who works with her government to counter human trafficking；Ikram Ben Said，the
founder of Tunisian women’s rights organization Aswat Nissa；and Sairee Chahal of India，who
started a digital platform that helps women get back into the workforce.
All three of my interviewees pointed to the family environment they had been raised
in—particularly a father figure who taught and empowered the women in the family to learn，ask
questions，and form their own opinions.Also，mothers broke convention by displaying leadership
within the family.
Igoye，for example，credited her father with having the foresight to send his daughters to school despite opposition from others in their village.Her mother went back to school as an adult to
improve her career as a teacher，which Igoye described as being a big influence on her.Similarly
Ben Said talked about how her father encouraged political debate among the family when she was
growing up，even when her opinions contradicted his.Meanwhile，Chahal said that even in her
younger days，her parents went against the general convention of expecting their daughters to aim
only for a good husband.
Another conclusion from Madsen’s work is that women’s leadership development
doesn’t look like men’s.“Men tend to follow a more straight path to becoming a leader.
Women’s paths are much emergent.They tend to not necessarily look ahead and think，‘I want to
be on top.’ Women would point to a number of experiences—motherhood，or working with a
non-profit，or sitting on a board，as shaping their path to becoming leaders，” she said.
Actually，women leaders tend to be held to higher standards than their male counterparts.Igoye
has felt this in Uganda.“Women who take up leadership positions in my country have to be tough，
it’s not easy at all，” she said.“You are always aware that you are representing all women.You
have to work extra hard to deliver，to perform，because if you do something wrong，they will
say，‘Ah，you see，women！’ ”
Therefore ， merely having women leaders can change the opportunities available for
generations of women in a country.What leadership looks like in their country，how much of a
voice the women leaders are having，influences what leadership is and what it means to its women.
What do women leaders have in common?

参考范文
The Palace Museum has witnessed a sharp rise in the sales of its cultural and creative
products.Meanwhile，the number of visitors has increased dramatically in the past few years as well.
The benefits we enjoy from promoting cultural products far exceed our imagination.Firstly，
these inventive art works function as ambassadors to spread our splendid culture ， extending
Chinese cultural influence and building up our cultural confidence.In addition，profits gained from
the sales of artistic souvenirs can be spent on the restoration of cultural relics and the organization
of educational activities which in turn will attract more visitors.
To jump on the bandwagon of promoting Chinese culture，I will design a set of bookmarks
with images of palaces or emperors on them.It not only is of practical use but also serves as a
reminder of sweet memories at the Palace Museum.I hope my design will be a useful addition to
those cultural and creative art works.
