【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点:第一、找准先行词;第二、看先行词在定语从句中所
作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词,如本题第 2 题中先行词为 the plant 为名词,再分析先行
词 the plant 在定语从句中所作的成分,将先行词 the plant 带到从句中可知,只能做主语,故确
定关系词 which。

It’s never too early to start doing good deeds for others. Adults should always be role models for children and the youth, but sometimes those roles are easily exchanged. A young boy did just
that—showing that at an early age one can do more to uplift others.
Pavel, 9-year-old Russian boy, made up his mind to use his talent to reach out to those in need.
The young artist from the small city of Arzamas decided to use his love for painting into helping
animals, by exchanging his artwork for animal food and supplies, which are then donated to a local
shelter.
Pavel had this wonderful idea for helping animals when his family lost one of their own pets. He
also began to grow concerned over the situation of stray animals wandering in the city. He felt it was
his duty to help, which resulted in a project called “Kind Paintbrush”. It was set up by Pavel and his
mother. The project started as a way to honor the memory of their pet, but has since evolved into a
distinctive way of helping animals. Only one animal shelter, housing over 100 dogs, exists in the local
area, and Pavel is its youngest volunteer. To support the shelter, Pavel draws images of real pets and in
return, he is paid with animal food and other needs of the shelter.
This isn’t even the first time that mother and son have volunteered their time to a worthy
endeavor. They work on their own time and effort, with no support from other organizations. They are
simply motivated by their empathy, huge heart, and willingness to use their skills for helping animals.
This stimulating project has already grown beyond Arzamas city. Pavel has become quite a
sensation, particularly among animal lovers in Russia who have been in touch to have portraits of
their pets made. Requests for paintings of their pets have also come from abroad, such as Spain and
Germany.
Pavel’s dreams for the future are still tied to helping animals. He plans to become as much as he
can with his art and love for animals.
34. What can we know about Pavel?
A. He has won several awards.
B. He dreams to build an animal shelter.
C. He is good at drawing images of real pets.
D. He gets a lot of help from other organizations.
35 Why did Pavel start the project “Kind Paintbrush”?
A. To attract more volunteers.
B. To promote his paintings in local area.C. To learn more skills of feeding animals.
D. To memorize his lost pet and help animals.
36. Which of the following words can best describe Pavel?
A. Creative and caring.
B. Polite and intelligent.
C. Modest and ambitious.
D. Humorous and determined.
37. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. It is never too old to learn.
B. Time and tide wait for no man.
C. A kind act can make a difference.
D. Saying is one thing and doing another.
【答案】34. C 35. D 36. A 37. C

time to a worthy endeavor. They work on their own time and effort, with no support from other
organizations. 这甚至不是母亲和儿子第一次自愿花时间做有价值的努力。他们按照自己的时间
和精力工作,没有其他组织的支持。由此可知,帕维尔经常做志愿者工作,故他应是非常有
爱心的。结合选项,故选 A。

include itchy mouth, throat tightening, and difficulties in breathing.
Food allergy is a medical condition of exposure to certain foods. It occurs when the immune
system attacks the protein in food that in normal cases is harmless. According to reports, more than
170 foods cause allergic reactions. The major food allergens are in eggs, milk, peanuts, wheat, soy,
fish, tree nuts, and crustacean shellfish.
There are several reasons behind the rise in food allergies. The food being produced these days is
high in sugar, unhealthy fats, genetically modifies and some food farms have pesticides ( 农 药 )
and other food have been injected drugs. All this can have a negative impact on our microbiome (微生物群), which is the basis of good health and immunity.
In a study comparing two children, a 15-year-old who lived in urban Italy and a 14-year-old child
from rural Africa, it clearly showed a significant difference in the diversity of bacteria in their guts.
The reason lies in their diet. The child from rural Africa has his diet low in fat and rich in plant-based
foods which are grown and harvested locally by villagers. In contrast, the Italian kid’s diet was rich in
animal protein, sugar then low in fiber. Ultimately, the microbiome of the kid from Italy was less than
that of the kid from Africa.
Besides the so-called ‘hygiene hypothesis’ suggests that decreased exposure to microbes in early
life can lead to an increased chance of allergies in later life, because of individuals not having built up
immunity at a young age.
Yet another reason for the explosion in allergies may be environmental changes. The
environment has seen a rise in temperature and is estimated that in the coming decades the temperature
could rise even further by 10 degrees. As a result of this warm climate, the growing seasons will be
longer, increasing allergen count thus making allergies even worse. According to scientists, climate
change is a contributing factor that needs immediate attention.
Dr. R. Sharon, researcher of Allergy and Asthma Research Centre at Stanford University,
believes the cause of allergies will ultimately come down to a combination of many factors.
Food allergies have no cure but can be managed by avoiding food that brings the reactions.
Scientists are studying food allergies medical methods for general use. They are all trying to actively
understand a certain part of the puzzle when it comes to allergies.

Say goodbye to standing in long lines holding boarding passes and other travel documents. Step
this way, instead. Look into the camera lens and off you go.
Sound convenient? Technology companies working with travel providers and the federal
government to install facial recognition systems at airports hope you think so.
But privacy advocators don’t want you to become too comfortable. They worry that what we’re
willing to accept for convenience today will soften our resistance to the idea of filling public spaces
with cameras that can identify us and track our every move.
Facial recognition technology came suddenly into modern reality with very few people prepared
for it. Facial recognition is a biometric technology that uses distinguishable facial features to identify a
person. In many cases, we see it being used by governments and law enforcement agencies—testing
its accuracy and value for future purposes.
Today, it’s used in a variety of ways from allowing you to unlock your phone, go through security
at the airport, purchase products at stores. It checks the identities of ride-hailing drivers, permits
tourists to enter attractions and let people pay for things with a smile. Airports are increasingly adding
facial recognition technology to security checkpoints. It’s even said that past footage of unsolved
mysteries would benefit greatly from this technology as it would help identify the criminals of crimes long forgotten.
However, there has been a serious clash between the government and citizens in general over the
technology’s use cases. At an airport, travelers are requested to present their passports, from which the
software will determine whether the person standing in front of the camera matches the identity. If it
matches, then they can get through quickly. However, the surveillance system searches a large
database for the face presented to the camera. Editing such a big database, many worry, will inevitably
lead to privacy concerns down the road. The biggest drawback for facial recognition technology in
most people’s opinions is the threat to an individual’s privacy.
Some say that it’s the most powerful tool as they fear for their privacy being invaded almost on a
daily basis, while the government tries to push it as something necessary for better civil control and
crime prevention. Overall, talks usually boil down to whether facial recognition technology should be
banned or if it should be regulated.
According to IBM, the banning of facial recognition technology would be a step backward for
human scientific advancement. However, restricting it within light regulations could yield just as
many gains as it would in a “free market”.
There are many useful applications of facial recognition technology—both at the consumer level
as a matter of security and convenience, and for governments and law enforcement agencies. The
challenge is finding the balance between those benefits and the expectation of privacy. Banning facial
recognition is not the answer. Regulating it, however, may be necessary to put an acceptable
framework of rules around its use.
42. With the help of facial recognition, we can _______.
A. purchase products at home
B. figure out unsolved mysteries
C. reduce the number of criminals
D. pass the security at the airport faster
43. What does the underlined word “clash” in paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Conflict. B. Crisis.
C. Challenge. D. Consequence.
44. Facing the use of this technology, citizens _______.
A. have no idea of its benefitB. have already got well-prepared
C. worry their information is misused
D. refuse to accept the convenience
45. Which point of view may the author agree to?
A. Banning facial recognition.
B. Debating with the government.
C. Maintaining the current situation.
D. Regulating facial recognition with rules.
【答案】42. D 43. A 44. C 45. D

文章倒数第四段中 At an airport, travelers are requested to present their passports, from which the
software will determine whether the person standing in front of the camera matches the
identity. If it matches, then they can get through quickly. 在机场,旅客们被要求出示他们的护照,
该软件将从护照上判断站在摄像机前的人是否符合身份。如果匹配,那么他们可以快速通过。
由此可知,有了面部识别技术,我们可以快速机场的安检。故选 D。

第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,共 10 分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个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。
Suppose you were promised $1,440 each day that comes to $525,600 a year. That could never be
reduced or changed in your whole life. Sounds great, doesn’t it? Actually, we all do get 1,440 a
day—but in minutes, not dollars. ___46___ It’s possible to get more money, but you can’t make more
time.
Many of the management practices that help people make good use of their money can also be
applied to your “time currency”. But the question is, are you a good manager of your time? ___47___
Find out where your time is going now. Write down everything you do in a day. Include work,
study, cooking and meals, cleaning and household maintenance, sleep, family time and mindless
activities such as watching TV and getting lost in social media.___48___ Ten minutes of planning can save you an hour of time and helps stretch the time
you have, and you’ll see pockets of time you can use for things you want to do. “Once people have a
clear picture, they actually do have a lot more time than they realize.” Clark, the founder of the
Purposeful Planner says.
You can also set limits. Use kitchen timers, phone reminders, apps or other timing devices to stay
focused and work more productively, suggests Janine Adams, certified professional organizer of
Peace of Mind Organizing.
___49___ When you have missions to run, instead of making three separate trips on three
different days to buy groceries, office supplies or home store products, integrate them—visit all three
stores in one trip. It’s more efficient to finish “little one-off” tasks together rather than deal with one
at a time throughout the day.
At the end of the day, week, month and year, take a look at how well you’ve managed your time.
You’ll see where you could do better and where you’ve completed what you set out to do. Booren
compares this progress check to reviewing your annual “financial statement”.
___50___Do that over and over and “it forms habit and becomes natural.” Booren says.
A. Try these simple steps to take control of your clock and calendar.
B. Time is one of the most precious and limited resources for people.
C. Grouping small tasks into one job proves to be helpful in daily practice.
D. The most important tasks are not always the same as the most pressing tasks.
E. Focus on what you’re doing and avoid having to repeat the same process twice.
F. Invest a few minutes at the beginning of each day or week to plan and organize.
G. Take time each day to reflect on your achievements and set goals for tomorrow.

have, and you’ll see pockets of time you can use for things you want to do. 十分钟的计划可以为
你节省一个小时的时间,并帮助你延长你的时间,你会发现你可以用这些时间来做你想做的
事情。故此段主要讲述的是要有计划。故 F 项(Invest a few minutes at the beginning of each day
or week to plan and organize)在每天或每周的开始,花几分钟时间来计划和组织。承接下文,
符合题意。故选 F。

throughout the day. 你有任务要执行时,不要在三天内分三次去购买杂货、办公用品或家居用
品,而是将它们整合在一起——在一次行程中访问所有三家商店。一起完成“一次性的小任务”
比一天一次只做一件事效率更高。由此可知,本段主要讲述把小任务整合在一起做。故 C 项
(Grouping small tasks into one job proves to be helpful in daily practice.)把小任务分成一份工作
在日常实践中是很有帮助的。承接下文,符合题意。故选 C。

【答案】Dear Jim,
How is everything going? Hopefully everything is fine. From your letter, I’ve learnt that you are
going to participate in a Chinese Poetry Recital Contest and you asked for my advice in choosing a
Chinese poem for you.
I highly recommend a classical Chinese poem “A Tranquil Night”. It is written by Li Bai, one of
the well-known poets from the Tang Dynasty, which witnessed the peak of classical Chinese poetry.
In this poem, Li Bai associates the moon with his homesickness, expressing his longing for the reunion
with his families.
I have some good reasons for recommending this poem for you. First, this is a pretty simple
poem, which means that you can have an easy start with your preparation. Second, this poem is pretty
famous for establishing the typical image of the moon through which the poet conveys his homesickness. For centuries, this poem has been read and recited by millions of Chinese people. I am
sure the poem will help you build connections with the audience when you are reciting it.
What do you think of my recommendation? If you have got any question, do not hesitate to ask
me. Looking forward to your next letter.
Yours,
Li Hua
