Our wedding was about to begin. My throat was tight and my cheeks got red, but I didn't care. I was ready to
marry David Sanchez. We’re a "nontraditional" couple: getting married not at a church but in a bookstore that
supports a charity to fight H.I.V. and homelessness.
“Kim! I could walk you down the aisle(走廊)if you like!” David's father offered gently.
"I'm OK. But I appreciate that,” I said with a smile. And I was reminded, again, of my dad's absence.
My father died of cancer six weeks ago. For the last two months, we tried to make him feel comfortable and
loved as he departed from this world. He always told us that he didn't like a funeral (葬礼)and insisted our
wedding go forward as planned. But how could we honor him since the wedding would be the first time the family
would gather after his death and some even didn't know he was sick?
During the ceremony, my dear friend Eva delivered a reading entitled "When Things Go Missing” by Kathryn
Schulz. She paused and got everyone on the same page: “When we are experiencing it, loss often feels like
confusion in the usual order of things. In fact, the entire plan of the universe consists of losing, and life amounts to
a reverse(逆向的)savings account in which we are eventually robbed of everything.
I felt the energy full of the room. Everyone was listening. By choosing to accept the pain, we knew what a
wedding does to join two families and mark the next chapter for a couple. Loss became a compass that pointed us
away from a fantasy and toward celebrating the difficult realities of life.
After rings were exchanged, fried chicken was served, our friends offered so many funny and touching toasts,
and finally David sang "Married” on my father’s guitar. I felt joy filling all the holes in my soul. Celebrating my
father’s life at our wedding made me grateful for all the time I had spent with him, because it all goes by so fast.
4. Why did David's father offer to walk the author down the aisle?
A. To relieve her tension.
B. To welcome her to his family.
C. To play the author's late father's role.
D. To contribute something to the charity.
5. What do we know about Kim at her wedding?
A. She got a compass as a wedding gift.
B. She enjoyed David's promise for their marriage.
C. She received more sympathy from families and friends.
D. She recalled the days spent with her father and understood life better.
6. Why did Kim feel energy full of the room?
A. Because she could keep from the pain.
B. Because she knew everyone was listening.
C. Because she got more courage for marriage and life.
D. Because she could read a piece of Kathryn Schulz's works.
7. What do we know about Kim and David’ s wedding ceremony?

B. It was a touching and happy one.
C. Kim and David turned it into a funeral.
D. There was no other activity except reading.

They asked Katherine Johnson for the moon, and she gave it to them. With little more than a pencil, a slide
rule and one of the finest mathematical minds in the country, Mrs. Johnson, who died at 101 on Monday, calculated
the precise trajectories ( 轨 道 )that would let Apollo 11 land on the moon in 1969 and, after Neil Armstrong's
history—making moonwalk, let it return to Earth.
Yet throughout Mrs. Johnson's 33 years in NASA and for decades afterward, almost no one knew her name.
Mrs. Johnson was one of several hundred strictly educated, supremely capable yet largely unrecognized
women who, well before the modem feminist movement, worked as NASA mathematicians. But it was not only her
5
sex that kept her long unsung. For some years at midcentury, the black women were subjected to a double
segregation ( 隔 离) :They were kept separate from the much large group of white women who in turn were
segregated from the agency's male mathematicians and engineers.
Mrs. Johnson broke barriers at NASA. In old age, Mrs. Johnson became the most celebrated of black women
who served as mathematicians for the space agency. Their story was told in the 2016 Hollywood film "Hidden
Figures," which was nominated for three Oscars, including best picture.
In 2017, NASA dedicated a building in her honor. That year, The Washington Post described her as “the most
high - profile of the computers” — “computers ” being the term originally used to describe Mrs. Johnson and her
colleagues, much as “typewriters” were used in the 19th century to represent professional typists.
She “helped our nation enlarge the frontiers of space,” NASA's administrator, Jim Bridenstine, said in a
statement on Monday, “even as she made huge steps that also opened doors for women and people of color in the
universal human quest to explore space.”
As Mrs. Johnson herself was fond of saying, her tenure (任期) at Langley — from 1953 until her retirement in
1986 — was “a time when computers wore skirts.”
8. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To present the Apollo moon mission.
B. To stress Mrs. Johnson's contributions
C. To honour Neil Armstrong's moonwalk.
D. To mourn a great woman—Mrs. Johnson.
9. What does the underlined word "barriers” in Paragraph 4 refer to ?
A. Gender inequality and color line.
B. Mrs. Johnson's unrecognized talents.
C. The agency's male mathematicians and engineers.
D. The hardships before the modem feminist movement.
10. Why were Mrs. Johnson and her colleagues described as "computers"?
A. Because they used computers to keep their work secret.
B. Because they were the agency's human calculators'
C. Because computer systems engaged them deeply.
D. Because they opened a door to outer space.
11. What can we learn from Mrs. Johnson's experience?
A. Try things that may not work.
B. The world awaits our discovery.
C. Use knowledge to wipe out ignorance '
D. Never be limited by the labels attached by others.
D
Although it has been indicated in recent years that plants are capable of seeing, hearing and smelling, they are
still usually thought of as silent. But now, for the first time, Itzhak Khait and his colleagues at Tel Aviv University
in Israel found that tomato and tobacco plants made ultrasonic(超声的)sounds at frequencies humans can't hear
when stressed by a lack of water or when their stem is cut.
Microphones placed 10 centimeters from the plants picked up sounds in the ultrasonic range of 20 to 100
kilohertz. Human hearing usually ranges from 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz. " These findings can alter the way we think
about the plant kingdom , " they wrote in their study, which has not yet been published.
On average, drought - stressed tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour, while tobacco plants made 11. When
plant stems were cut, tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour, and tobacco plants 15.
Unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour. It is even possible to distinguish between the sounds to
know what the stress is. The researchers trained a machine — learning model to separate the plants,sounds from
those of the wind, rain and other noises of the greenhouse, correctly identifying in most cases whether the stress
was caused by dryness or a cut, based on the sound's intensity and frequency. Water — hungry tobacco appeared to
make louder sounds than cut tobacco, for example. Although Khait and his colleagues only looked at tomato and
tobacco plants, they believe other plants may make sounds when stressed.
Enabling farmers to listen for water — stressed plants could " open a new direction in the field of precision(精
7
准) agriculture", the researchers suggest. They add that such an ability will be increasingly important as climate
change exposes more areas to drought.
Khait's study also suggests that insects and some mammals can hear and respond to from as far as 5 metres
away. A moth may decide against laying eggs on a plant that sounds water - stressed. Edward Farmer at the
University of Lausanne, Switzerland thinks the idea that moths might be listening to plants is “a little too
speculative”. After all, there are already plenty of explanations for why insects avoid some plants and not others.
12. What were tomato and tobacco plants' reactions to different stresses?
A. They reacted to different types of stress with the same sound.
B. Cut tomato plants produced more sounds per hour than water — hungry ones .
C. Cut tobacco plants seemed to make lower sounds than drought - stressed ones.
D. Tobacco plants might make louder sounds than tomato plants when short of water.
13. What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A. The potential applications of the research.
B. Challenges facing farmers in the future.
C. Farmers' contributions to the research.
D. The future development of agriculture.
14. What does the underlined word "speculative" in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Practical. B. Surprising.
C. Unsupported. D. Complicated.
15. What may be the best tide for the text?
A. Silent scream B. Mysteries of nature
C. Inner voices D. A yet - to-be - published study

Making other people feel good feels good, and, best of all, it requires little more than a generous heart.
Studies show that people feel happier when they do something kind for another person, and b 机 h recipients and
good deed-doers can get the benefits. It can't be smarter idea to create this World Kindness Day.16.
Learn a friend's language
Picking up a bit of a friend or co-worker's first language and speaking it with them shows them you care and
take an interest in their experiences. Making someone feel included and respected will feel a greater sense of
belonging, an essential component of happiness.
17.
Reaching out to someone for the first time in a long time can be an instant remedy (治 疗) for whatever
trouble you. It's as simple as a text, a note or a Face Time call. Let someone know you're thinking of them, even
after some time apart. Studies suggest strong bonds can improve physical health, too.
Genuinely compliment(赞扬)someone
A respectful comment that comes from the heart about someone's unique hair style, excellent performance in a
conceit or their great solution to a problem at work might be all it takes to improve someone's mood.18.
Collect trash you see around your neighborhood
Picking up trash and recyclables off the street beautifies your community and benefits the environment.19.
The environment can't clean itself, after all!
Thank the people in your life
They are the security guard outside of your workplace, the supermarket worker you see every day, your mom.
20. Thank people for the things, big and small, that they do that improve your life. Gratitude is priceless.
A. Others' positive words could help some people be a bit kinder to themselves, too.

segregation ( 隔 离 ) : They were kept separate from the much large group of white women who in turn were
segregated from the agency's male mathematicians and engineers.
Mrs. Johnson broke barriers at NASA. In old age, Mrs. Johnson became the most celebrated of black women
who served as mathematicians for the space agency. Their story was told in the 2016 Hollywood film "Hidden
Figures," which was nominated for three Oscars, including best picture.
In 2017, NASA dedicated a building in her honor. That year, The Washington Post described her as “the most
19
high - profile of the computers” — “computers ” being the term originally used to describe Mrs. Johnson and her
colleagues, much as “typewriters” were used in the 19th century to represent professional typists.
She “helped our nation enlarge the frontiers of space,” NASA's administrator, Jim Bridenstine, said in a
statement on Monday, “even as she made huge steps that also opened doors for women and people of color in the
universal human quest to explore space.”
As Mrs. Johnson herself was fond of saying, her tenure (任期) at Langley — from 1953 until her retirement in
1986 — was “a time when computers wore skirts.”
8. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To present the Apollo moon mission.
B. To stress Mrs. Johnson's contributions
C. To honour Neil Armstrong's moonwalk.
D. To mourn a great woman—Mrs. Johnson.
9. What does the underlined word "barriers” in Paragraph 4 refer to ?
A. Gender inequality and color line.
B. Mrs. Johnson's unrecognized talents.
C. The agency's male mathematicians and engineers.
D. The hardships before the modem feminist movement.
10. Why were Mrs. Johnson and her colleagues described as "computers"?
A. Because they used computers to keep their work secret.
B. Because they were the agency's human calculators'
C. Because computer systems engaged them deeply.
D. Because they opened a door to outer space.
11. What can we learn from Mrs. Johnson's experience?
A. Try things that may not work.
B. The world awaits our discovery.
C. Use knowledge to wipe out ignorance '
D. Never be limited by the labels attached by others.
文章大意:这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了美国登月的幕后功臣:传奇女数学家的 101 岁的传奇人
生。
8.B 推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容“They asked Katherine Johnson for the moon, and she gave it to them.
Wielding little more than a pencil, a slide rule and one of the finest mathematical minds in the country, Mrs.
Johnson, who died at 101 on Monday, calculated the precise trajectories that would let Apollo 11 land on the moon
in 1969 and, after Neil Armstrong's history—making moonwalk, let it return to Earth.( 他们向凯瑟琳·约翰逊要月
亮,她给了他们。约翰逊夫人,周一去世,享年 101 岁。凭借着不过一支铅笔,一把计算尺和最为杰出的数
学头脑,约翰逊计算出了 1969 年助力阿波罗 11 号登陆月球的精确轨迹,并让尼尔.阿姆斯特朗在历史性的
月球漫步后成功返回地球。)”由此判断出,第一段的主要目的为强调约翰逊夫人对于阿波罗 11 号登陆月球
的贡献。故选 B 项。
9.A 词义猜测题。分析可知,划线单词所在句应是本段首句,应起到承前启后的作用。结合后文“In old age,
Mrs. Johnson became the most celebrated of black women who served as mathematicians for the space agency.
Their story was told in the 2016 Hollywood film "Hidden Figures," which was nominated for three Oscars,
including best picture.( 约翰逊夫人晚年成为美国航天局最著名的黑人女数学家。2016 年的好莱坞电影《隐
藏人物》讲述了他们的故事,这部电影获得了包括最佳影片奖在内的三项奥斯卡提名。)”讲述了她后来的地
位和影响,可知,句中的“barriers”应是指前文提及的“For some years at midcentury, the black women were
subjected to a double segregation:They were kept separate from the much large group of white women who in turn
were segregated from the agency's male mathematicians and engineers.” 在上世纪中叶的一些年里,黑人女性受
到双重隔离:她们被隔离于数量庞大的白人女性群体之外,而白人女性又被隔离于该机构的男性数学家和
工程师之外。所以划线的词意思为“性别不平等和肤色界线。”故选 A 项。
10.B 细节理解题。根据文章第六段内容“That year, The Washington Post described her as “the most high - profile
of the computers” — “computers” being the term originally used to describe Mrs. Johnson and her colleagues,
much as “typewriters” were used in the 19th century to represent professional typists.( 那一年,《华盛顿邮报》称
她为“计算机界最引人注目的人物”——“计算机”一词最初用来形容约翰逊夫人和她的同事,就像 19 世纪用
来代表职业打字员的“打字机”一样。) ”且前文提及“In old age, Mrs. Johnson became the most celebrated of black
women who served as mathematicians for the space agency.( 约翰逊夫人晚年成为美国航天局最著名的黑人女
21
数学家。)”可知,称她们为计算机,是因为她们是数学家,拥有数学头脑,计算出了人类迈向月球的距离。
故选 B 项。
11.D 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段内容:She “helped our nation enlarge the frontiers of space,” NASA's
administrator, Jim Bridenstine, said in a statement on Monday, “even as she made huge steps that also opened
doors for women and people of color in the universal human quest to explore space.”(美国宇航局局长吉姆布里登
斯汀(Jim Bridenstine)在周一的一份声明中说,她“帮助我们的国家扩大了太空领域的前沿”,“她迈出了巨大
的一步,也为女性和不同肤色的人种探索太空打开了大门。”)由此判断出,可以从她身上学到不要受到别人
的束缚,走出自己的道路。选项 D. Never be limited by the labels attached by others.(永远不要被别人贴上的标
签所限制。)符合推测,故选 D 项。
D
Although it has been indicated in recent years that plants are capable of seeing, hearing and smelling, they are
still usually thought of as silent. But now, for the first time, Itzhak Khait and his colleagues at Tel Aviv University
in Israel found that tomato and tobacco plants made ultrasonic(超声的)sounds at frequencies humans can't hear
when stressed by a lack of water or when their stem is cut.
Microphones placed 10 centimeters from the plants picked up sounds in the ultrasonic range of 20 to 100
kilohertz. Human hearing usually ranges from 20 hertz to 20 kilohertz. " These findings can alter the way we think
about the plant kingdom , " they wrote in their study, which has not yet been published.
On average, drought - stressed tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour, while tobacco plants made 11. When
plant stems were cut, tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour, and tobacco plants 15.
Unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour. It is even possible to distinguish between the sounds to
know what the stress is. The researchers trained a machine — learning model to separate the plants,sounds from
those of the wind, rain and other noises of the greenhouse, correctly identifying in most cases whether the stress
was caused by dryness or a cut, based on the sound's intensity and frequency. Water — hungry tobacco appeared to
make louder sounds than cut tobacco, for example. Although Khait and his colleagues only looked at tomato and
tobacco plants, they believe other plants may make sounds when stressed.
Enabling farmers to listen for water — stressed plants could " open a new direction in the field of precision(精
准) agriculture", the researchers suggest. They add that such an ability will be increasingly important as climate
change exposes more areas to drought.
Khait's study also suggests that insects and some mammals can hear and respond to from as far as 5 metres
away. A moth may decide against laying eggs on a plant that sounds water - stressed. Edward Farmer at the
University of Lausanne, Switzerland thinks the idea that moths might be listening to plants is “a little too
speculative”. After all, there are already plenty of explanations for why insects avoid some plants and not others.
12. What were tomato and tobacco plants' reactions to different stresses?
A. They reacted to different types of stress with the same sound.
B. Cut tomato plants produced more sounds per hour than water — hungry ones .
C. Cut tobacco plants seemed to make lower sounds than drought - stressed ones.
D. Tobacco plants might make louder sounds than tomato plants when short of water.
13. What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A. The potential applications of the research.
B. Challenges facing farmers in the future.
C. Farmers' contributions to the research.
D. The future development of agriculture.
14. What does the underlined word "speculative" in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Practical. B. Surprising.
C. Unsupported. D. Complicated.
15. What may be the best tide for the text?
A. Silent scream B. Mysteries of nature
C. Inner voices D. A yet - to-be - published study
文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述植物在不同压力下能发出不同频率的声音,而这是人类无
法用耳朵听到的。同时提及了该研究发现有可能对农业带来潜在的应用。
12.C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段倒数第二句内容“Water-hungry tobacco appeared to make louder sounds than
cut tobacco, for example.”可知,缺水的烟草似乎比切断烟草发出的声音更响亮。C 项“Cut tobacco plants seemed
to make lower sounds than drought - stressed ones.( 切断烟草发出的声音似乎比缺水的烟草的声音要低。)”与
23
原文表述含义一致。故选 C 项。
13.A 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段内容“Enabling farmers to listen for water — stressed plants could “open a new
direction in the field of precision agriculture”, the researchers suggest. They add that such an ability will be
increasingly important as climate change exposes more areas to drought.( 研究人员表示,让农民能够听到缺水作
物的声音,可能会“在精准农业领域开辟一个新方向”。他们补充说,随着气候变化使更多地区面临干旱,这
种能力将变得越来越重要。) ”可知,本段在讲述这种研究发现对于农业的作用。选项 A. The potential
applications of the research.( 研究的潜在应用。)概括了本段内容。故选 A 项。
14.C 词义猜测题。根据后文“After all, there are already plenty of explanations for why insects avoid some plants
and not others.( 毕竟,对于昆虫为什么避开某些植物而不避开其他植物,已经有很多解释了。)”可知,在从
另一个已经证实的方面解释蚊子选择缺水植物的原因,可推知,前文提及的“Edward Farmer at the University
of Lausanne, Switzerland thinks the idea that moths might be listening to plants is “a little too speculative”.”应是讲
述了 Edward Farmer 对提及观点“moths might be listening to plants(飞蛾可能在听植物的声音)”的反对,认为其
不合理。因此,speculative 应理解为“不成立”或“不合理”,与选项 C. Unsupported.( 不受支持的。)表达含义
一致。故选 C 项。
15.A 主旨大意题。根据文章结构为总分结构,第一段 but 句提出本文中心话题“But now, for the first time, Itzhak
Khait and his colleagues at Tel Aviv University in Israel found that tomato and tobacco plants made ultrasonic
sounds at frequencies humans can't hear when stressed by a lack of water or when their stem is cut.( 但是现在,以
色列特拉维夫大学的 Itzhak Khait 和他的同事们第一次发现,番茄和烟草植物发出的超声波频率是人类在缺
水或茎被切断时无法听到的。)”可知,文章主要讲述植物在不同压力下能发出不同频率的声音,而这是人类
无法用耳朵听到的。选项 A. Silent scream(无声的尖叫) 合理概括了本文中心话题,可作最佳选项。故选 A
项。

第二节
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
I’ve noticed many people having a cold, and it's not even officially fall yet. Why does the cold occur more
frequently during the fall and winter 41. (month)? It’s actually not the cold weather 42. (it) that causes the cold.
But rather, it is most likely to be caused by people spending 43. (much) time indoors close to each other, making
the spread of germs (微生物) more readily. This is another reason 44. children in day care or school are more
likely to pick up the cold.
When I worked in a doctor’s clinic a few years back, it was one of the 45. (lead) reasons to visit the doctor in
fall and winter. 1 billion people suffer from the cold each year. As a result, school 46. (absent) is frequently
reported, with around 22 million days annually.
How can you avoid getting a cold? Among the commonly 47. (recognize) tips, washing your hands is 48.
most important one. The cold is spread either by directly touching infected (受感染的) secretions (分泌物), or by
taking 49. the airborne particles (悬浮粒子). Also, cold and flu viruses get into the body via the eyes, noses, or
mouth. So, 50. (try) to avoid touching your face, especially without first washing your hands.
文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了很多人还没到秋季就感冒的原因,也建议了一些方法来避免
感冒。
41. months 考查名词的数。此处应用名词作为介词 during 的宾语,根据 fall and winter 可知,应用 month 的
复数形式,故填 months。
42. itself 考查代词。句意:事实上并不是寒冷的天气本身造成了感冒。根据句意可知,此处应用反身代词作
为 weather 的同位语,故填 itself。
43. more 考查比较级。根据下文的 more readily 判断,此处意为“花更多时间呆在室内”,应用比较级,故填
more。
44. why 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处是定语从句关系词,先行词 reason 在从句中充当原因状语,

looking at their mobile phone while they are riding or driving. Lots of traffic accidents can be avoided what if
everyone obeys the traffic regulations.

6. their→our7. should 后面加 not8. looking→look9. phone→phones10. what if 中的 what 去掉
文章大意:本文为记叙文。随着经济的发展,汽车越来越多。汽车确实极大地改善了我们的生活,带
来了很多方便。然而,它们也带来了一些问题,其中交通事故是首当其冲的。只要每个人遵守交通规则,
许多交通事故是可以避免的。
1. 考查语境及介词。句意:众所周知,随着经济的发展,我们日常生活中汽车数量越来越多。分析句子可
知, 当 as 为 “随着”时是连词,后面跟句子;而 with 意为“随着”时是介词,后面跟名词短语。本句中的“the
development of economy”是名词短语,故把 as 改成 with。
2. 考查冠词。句意:众所周知,随着经济的发展,我们的日常生活中汽车的数量越来越多。分析句子可知,
“the number of ...”意为“.....的数量”,“a number of...”意思为“许多的,大量的”,此处是指汽车的数量,故把 a
改成 the。
3.考查现地完成里。句意:汽车确实极大地改善了我们的生活,带来了很多方便。分析句子可知,本句指汽
车现在极大地改善了我们的生活,所以要用现在完成时,而不是过去的过去,故把 had 改成 have。
4. 考查副词辨析。句意:然而,它们也带来了一些问题,其中交通事故是首当其冲的。分析句子可知,前
后两句是转折关系,而非因果关系,故把 Therefore 改成 However。
5. 考查副词辨析。句意:我们怎样才能有效地解决这个问题?分析句子可知,句中的 effective 在句中修饰动
词 solve the problem,修饰动词要用副词修饰,故把 effective 改成 effectively
6.考查人称代词。句意:对我们社会来说最好的解决办法是遵守交通规则。分析句子可知,此处的主语是
we,所以是我们的社会,而非他们的,因此把 their 改为 our。
7. 考查语境。句意:当我们过马路时,交通灯变成绿色我们才能走。根据语境此句考查的 not...until“直
到......才......”,故在 should 后面加 not。
8. 考查固定用法。句意:我们应该提醒人们在开车或骑车时不要手机。“warn sb. not to do...”为固定搭配,
意为“提醒某人不要做某事”,故把 looking 改成 look。
9. 考查名词的数。句意:我们应该提醒人们开车或骑车时不要看手机。本句是指提醒人们开车或骑车时不
去看他们的手机,可知,手机要用复数,故把 phone 改成 phones。
10.考查语境。句意:如果每个人都遵守交通规则,许多交通事故是可以避免的。“what if...”意为“倘
若……”,if 意为“假如,如果”。分析句子可知,此处是指“如果”而非“倘若”,故把 what if 中的 what 去掉。
