阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
With all the attention Thanksgiving and Christmas get from travellers, it’s
easy to overlook Halloween as a destination holiday. While a few cities provide a
ghostly atmosphere all year round, annual festivals, theme park pop-up events and
other haunted happenings elsewhere have helped make the holiday a travel
mini-season all its own.
New Orleans
Home to year-round cemetery walks, New Orleans is among the cities that
naturally harmonize with Halloween. Worth noting every October is the
family-friendly Halloween parade, happening this year on Oct. 21, with floats
devoted to themes like werewolves and vampires. Float riders throw locally made
candies to the crowd. New Orleans hosts plenty of after-event-parties, but the
procession itself draws all ages in costume.
Whitby, England
This picturesque town on England’s Yorkshire coast is considered to be the
home of Dracula, though in a different way. Bram Stoker spent just a month in
Whitby, but those four weeks in July and August 1890 were important in the
creation of his most famous book, “Dracula”, which was published in 1897.
Whitby celebrated the 125th anniversary of Stoker’s visit in 2015, but this year
you can see the skeletal remains of Whitby Abbey illuminated throughout the final
week of October.
Salem, Massachusetts
Home to the infamous witch trials of the early 1690s, it should come as no
surprise that this town is a hotbed for Halloween activity. One way Salem builds
on its spectral past is with the nearly month-long festival of the Dead. Events
starting from mid-October this year include psychic readings, mourning-themed tea
and on Halloween night, a witches gathering.
Orlando, Florida
The home of Disney World and Universal Studios goes all-out with huge
Halloween events. Universal this year will hold its 27th Halloween Horror Night on Oct. 30, a seasonal pop-up featuring haunted houses and “scareactors”
employed to frighten visitors. Plus, there are many other activities like
trick-or-treating, Disney character encounters, a Halloween ball and fireworks.
1. Which of the following is most recommended for a family going together?
A. New Orleans. B. Whitby, England.
C. Salem, Massachusetts. D. Orlando, Florida.
2. Where do Halloween activities last the longest this year?
A. New Orleans. B. Whitby, England.

3. What can you do in Orlando, Florida ?

四个小黑标题下的“Universal this year will hold its 27th Halloween Horror Night on
Oct. 30”可知 Orlando, Florida 的万圣节活动时间是一天。故选 C 项。3. 细节理解题。根据题干中的“Orlando, Florida”可将答案定位在第四个小黑标题下。由

On November 7, Lewis Pugh completed a one-kilometer swim in the freezing
waters of King Edward Cove, off South Georgia in Antarctica. He was wearing only
his swimming glasses, cap and speedos!
Pugh is an advocate for our oceans and seas, working to protect these
ecosystem with their large diversity of marine life. When asked why he doesn’t
wear a wetsuit, Lewis says, “I ask world leaders to do everything they can to
protect our oceans. Sometimes the steps they need to take are difficult and
unpopular. If I’m asking them to be courageous, I must also be. Swimming in a
wetsuit would not send the right message.”
It took Pugh about 19 minutes to complete the one-kilometer swim in
Antarctica where the water averaged about 1.6 degrees Celsius . He says that his
body can only tolerate about 20 minutes in the freezing waters before it starts
shutting down. As he swims, his body temperature steadily drops, which in turn
causes his muscle control to drop, slowing him down. When he is done with his
swim, his support team rushes him to a hot shower and it takes almost an hour for
his body temperature to return to normal.
Doctors and Pugh caution that one must receive months of training to swim in
such cold waters. Even expert swimmers who are unused to freezing water can drown
within minutes because of the physical shock experienced by the body. Pugh says
he trained for six months before this swim.
This is not the first time that Lewis has swum in dangerous conditions. In
2007, he swam one kilometer in the North Pole to draw attention to the melting
Arctic ice due to climate change. In 2015, he swam in the Bay of Whales in
Antarctica’s Ross Sea as part of his successful campaign to help set up a marine
reserve there.
4. Why did Lewis Pugh swim without a wetsuit?
A. To swim faster. B. To show his bravery.C. To build up his body. D. To win public attention.
5. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. His body. B. The water.
C. His body temperature. D. The water temperature.
6. What’s Pugh’s advice about swimming in freezing waters?
A. One must be fully prepared.
B. One should be expert at swimming.
C. One should be ready to take on challenges.
D. One must be used to long-distance swimming.
7. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Lewis Pugh: swimming for a cause
B. How to survive a swim in cold waters
C. How to prepare for extreme swimming
D. Lewis Pugh: achieving the impossible
【答案】
4. B5. A6. A7. A
【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了 Lewis Pugh 为了呼吁政府采取措施保护海洋
而在南极海洋水温很低的情况下，不穿防寒泳衣游泳的勇敢事迹。
4. 细 节 理 解 题 。 根 据 第 二 段 的 I ask world leaders to do everything they can to
protect our oceans. Sometimes the steps they need to take are difficult and
unpopular. If I’m asking them to be courageous, I must also be. Swimming in a
wetsuit would not send the right message.可知，他不穿防寒泳衣的原因是展示他的勇敢，
故选 B。
5. 词义猜测题。此题要结合上文语境 He says that his body can only tolerate about 20
minutes in the freezing waters before 可知他在冰水里游泳身体只能忍受 20 分钟，下文
中提到他游泳时体温在慢慢下降，肌肉控制力也在下降，可推测出此处的 it 指的是 his
body，故选 A。
6. 细节理解题。根据第四段的 Doctors and Pugh caution that one must receive months
of training to swim in such cold waters.可知，一个人要想在冰冷的水里游泳必须得训练
很长时间才可以，即要做足准备工作才行，故选 A。
7. 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述的是 Pugh 为保护海洋而在极寒的水里游泳，他用行动去展示他保护海洋的决心和勇气，由此可知 A 项是最佳标题。

Attending college can be expensive, and applying to college can be costly as
well. With today’s college application fees averaging around $ 80, you can
expect to spend hundreds of dollars on college before you are even accepted into
a school.
One of the easiest ways to save money on college application fees before you
begin applying is to narrow down your list of schools. To save money, try to
limit the schools to which you apply to about 2-3 reach schools and 2-3 safety
schools.
At some schools, being a relative of a graduate can secure you a free
application. If you are applying to a school where one of your parents or
grandparents is a former graduate, check to see if you’ re qualified for it.
Research the preferred method of applying for each school on your list. Some
schools offer free online applications, yet charge a fee for paper submissions.
This is because online applications save schools the cost of employing a staff
member to physically enter the application information.
Several states, such as Michigan and North Carolina, take part in College
Application Week, where many schools in the participating states cancel their
application fee for the week. Be sure to contact the schools to I j which you are
applying to see if they participate in College Application Week and when the
program takes place in that state.
Apply for early admission. If you have already decided on which college is
your top choice, consider applying under an Early Action or Early Decision
admission program. If you are accepted, you won’t have to submit application
fees to other schools.
For more information regarding college applications and the fees associated
with them, contact your high I school advisor or the admissions department at
your school(s) of interest.
8. The passage is mainly written to______.
A. introduce famous universities in the United StalesB. show some practical ways to apply an ideal college
C. advertise for successful applications and advisors
D. offer tips to save money on college application fees
9. What does the author advise to do in the second paragraph?
A. Write down your favorite universities.
B. Reduce the number of your university choices.
C. Apply to two universities each time.
D. Mind your safety when applying to college.
10. Some schools offer free online application to______,
A. receive fees faster than before B. employ someone else to work
C. cut down the cost of employment D. enter the application information
11. It can be known from the passage that______,
A. application fee might be canceled conditionally
B. many countries attend College Application Week
C. applying for early admission is the best policy
D. admission departments determine your future

Every summer, the Serengeti plains ( 平 原 ) of Africa are worth visiting.
Millions of wild animals begin their 1,800-mile journey northwards on their
annual migratory (迁移的) route.
In the month of November, polar bears in their thousands cross the Canadian
Arctic, as they head towards the ice sheets of Hudson Bay. The sea ice that forms
every winter is the key to the bear’s managing to exist, for here they hunt for
seals (海豹).
The Great Bustard, one of the heaviest flying birds, migrates each year
across Europe and Asia to its wintering grounds. Unluckily, these and other
migratory animals are in danger from human activity.
We have written several articles on climate change and the effect of rising
ocean temperatures. Since 1979, ice sheets in the Arctic have gone down by 30
percent. What does this mean for polar bears? They are forced to stay on land for longer periods of time, which delays their search for food. As a result, bears
today are 60 pounds lighter than what they were. Besides, smaller bears also
produce weaker babies, and their chances of survival are at risk. In the plains
of Africa, migratory animals like gazelles are traveling long distances for food,
just to avoid falling prey (牺牲品) to humans who hunt them.
In an unusual step, experts from 120 countries have agreed to protect 31
migratory mammals, fish and birds. The United Nation’s 11th annual Conservation
of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) was held in Quito, Ecuador. For the
first time, 900 experts attended the conference, and the enthusiastic support
shows the world is united in conservation (保护) efforts.
What does getting on a protected list mean? Countries that have signed the
agreement will be required to pass laws locally and work with other countries
that fall within the animal’s migratory path. Only one animal did not make the
list. The African lion was rejected ( 拒 绝 ) for lack of information of the
countries where it lives.
12. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The Great Bustard is one of the largest flying birds.
B. The weight of polar bears today is lighter than what it was.
C. In the 1970s, ice sheets went down by 30 percent.
D. 120 experts have agreed to protect 21 migratory animals.
13. Why was the African lion not included in the list from the passage?
A. We don’t know which countries it lives in.
B. It isn’t a migratory animal.
C. Experts were not interested in this animal.
D. It was not traveling long distances for food.
14. The writer writes this passage aiming to __________.
A. let us know about the animals
B. prevent the rare animals from dying out
C. inform us of the effects of climate change
D. draw our attention to helping the migratory animals
15. All these factors have probably put the migratory animals in danger EXCEPT _______.
A. some human activity B. the enthusiastic support from experts
C. rising ocean temperatures D. climate change

12. B 13. A 14. D 15. B

what they were.”可知，现在北极熊的体重比原来少了 60 磅，故 B 项正确。
13. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Only one animal did not make the list. The
African lion was rejected for lack of information of the countries where it
lives. ”可知，非洲狮没有在名单之内是因为我们不知道它们生活在哪些国家，故 A 项正确。
14. 文章意图题。通读文章可知，文章介绍了很多野生动物在迁徙途中遭受人类的捕杀或受到
人类活动的影响导致数量急剧下降，在联合国第 11 届野生动物迁徙物种年度保护大会上，专
家们呼吁世界各国联合起来保护迁徙物种，由此可知本文的目的是引起人们的注意来帮助迁徙
动物，故 D 项正确。
15. 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“We have written several articles on climate change
and the effect of rising ocean temperatures.” 及 “In the plains of Africa,
migratory animals like gazelles are traveling long distances for food, just to
avoid falling prey to humans who hunt them.”可知，气候变化、海洋温度上升以及人类
活动都是威胁迁徙物种的因素，专家的支持则是为了保护它们，故 B 项正确。

Things to Keep Your Brain Sharp and Healthy Later in Life
These behaviors and activities are proven to help keep your brain young.
Keep learning new things.
Learning new information and skills throughout your entire life helps to keep
your brain strong even in the later years of life. Activities that have the
highest value for brain health are novel and complex to each particular person. What is easy for one person may be challenging for another. 16.
Exercise regularly.
Exercise can improve our energy levels, sense of well-being, sleep, and brain
health. 17. Identifying why we do not exercise permits us to systematically break
down our barriers, and to slowly change our behaviors towards a healthy
lifestyle.

Friends provide opportunities to enable the sharing of experiences, new
learning, challenge, emotions, trust, and understanding. Friendship also provides
the necessary motivation towards activity and involvement. Engaging in new
pursuits with friends often helps develop new life roles, which provide us with

gain more benefit from our daily experiences. A fast-paced lifestyle can cause
chronic stress and have other negative effects on our health and well-being.
Reducing demands we place on ourselves is an important step towards stress
reduction, and a more fulfilling life.

炼 ） ”。分 析 选 项 可 知 A 项 （ Engaging in it regularly also reduces the risk of
depression and anxiety.）中的词 Engaging in it regularly 与 Exercise regularly 是一
致的。再根据空前的“Exercise can improve our energy levels, sense of well-being,
sleep, and brain health.” 运动可以提高我们的精力、幸福感、睡眠和大脑健康。可知 A

好处。由此可推断出 A 项符合题意，故选 A。
18. 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段的中心句“Socialize and have fun（社交和
娱乐）”本段主要叙述了朋友间关系（即人际关系中的一种）的好处：朋友间可分享经验、学
习新知识、新挑战、情感、信任和理解的机会。友谊也为人们的活动和参与提供了必要的动力。
朋友间可感受被欣赏、享受生活、欢笑和享受乐趣。朋友间关系也是人际关系（relationships
with other people. ） 中 的 一 种 。 由 此 可 知 ， 要 搞 好 人 际 关 系 。 分 析 选 项 可 知 E 项
（ Parent-teacher organizations are great places to develop relationships with other people）即“家长——教师组织是与他人发展关系的好地方”在意义上是一致的，故选
E。
19. 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段的中心句为“Be health conscious（注重健
康）”。本段叙述对我们来说健康很重要。我们要对自己的健康负责。分析选项可知 D 项

我们工作，说到我们的身体，我们要做我们身体的主人）中的 when it comes to our
bodies, we are the boss 即是说我们要做我们身体的主人（we are the boss），即对应文中

的“physician”也在 D 项中复现。综合分析可知 D 项与本段意义一致，且有词的复现，D 项
符合题意，故选 D。
20. 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段的中心句“Slow down and appreciate the
silence（放慢脚步，欣赏寂静）” 本段说我们的快节奏的生活方式（A fast-paced
lifestyle）让我们没有时间来放松，导致我们有压力，对我们的健康和幸福有影响。分析选
项 可 知 G 项 （ Our society is developing quickly, leaving us with little time to
relax and process our environment.）“我们的社会发展很快，我们几乎没有时间来放松和
处理我们周围的环境。”与本段“快节奏的生活让我们无法放松意义”一致。且 G 项中的 A
fast-paced lifestyle 即是说明我们有“快节奏的生活 a fast-paced lifestyle”。G 项符合
题意，故选 G。

Our families lived more than 450 miles away, so a few weeks before

woman I imagined would be quiet and good-natured. When seeing her, I was wrong.
Ilse was a stubborn 78 -year-old lady, who favored spending time at the center
23 she had her own apartment.
By the end of the Thanksgiving evening, we felt as if she were an old friend.
Two weeks later, I invited her to lunch. The more time I spent with Ilse, the
more she became like my grandma, always full of energy. Since I was the only one left in her life, I felt 24 for her. I soon became her personal Uber driver
(minus the fee), and also helped her hire a 25 . As the days went on, Ilse
seemed more disconnected than before. Late one afternoon, she called from the
emergency room to tell me she had 26 over her coffee table. After I got

During the next few days, I 28 by her apartment, sadly finding that she
was so weak. And she was no longer the 29 Ilse I knew. At the end of the
week, I received an early-morning call from her caregiver. “Please come over
now,” her voice matter-of-fact. “She’s passed away.” But I was too shocked to
cry.
The morning after Ilse’s death, I pulled her 30 out of my file cabinet.
Ilse had 31 I take a copy of it a year earlier. I read through it and 32
when I saw my name. She had left me $ 50,000. I didn't 33 her saying
anything about that. 34 , I would have insisted she donate the money to
charity or give it to a friend she had known longer. Ilse was a friend I'd helped
out of loyalty and 35 , not with the expectation of being paid. I opened an
account in her honor. Over the next 20 years, Ilse's 36 grew and gave me
the opportunity to 37 funds in her name to a cause she cared about deeply :
children. Various families and charities 38 from her donations. It is beyond
my expectation that a 39 I’d taken years before when I placed a call to the
senior center and meet Ilse made my life richer and made me have a new

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了电子烟对人体的伤害，并且说明了为防止电子
烟对青少年造成伤害，人们应该注意什么。
41. 考查 with 的复合结构。句意：今年 8 月，一种神秘的严重肺部疾病的病例震惊了健康社
会，医生们正在寻找病因。空白处后面是宾语+doing 的结构，所以此处应该是 with，构成 with+
宾语+doing 的复合结构，在句中做状语。故填 with。
42. 考查名词单复数。句意：报告了 12 例死亡，所有病例都报告了电子烟使用史。因为是 12
例死亡，所以应该用复数形式。故填 deaths。
43. 考查名词。句意：除了增加成瘾的可能性和对大脑发育和呼吸系统健康的长期伤害之
外……，空白处前面是 the，后面是 of addiction，所以此处需要一个名词。需将 possible
变为名词形式。故填 possibility.
44. 考查被动语态。句意：除了增加成瘾的可能性和对大脑发育和呼吸系统健康的长期伤害之
外，电子烟的使用还与其他烟草产品的使用有关……。此句子的主语是“e-cigarette use”，
空白处需要动词的谓语形式，associate 需用被动语态，构成 A be associated with B 的结
构，意为 A 何 B 有关，结合主语性质用单数，结合上下文时态用一般现在时，故填 is
associated。45. 考查形容词比较级。句意：……这些烟草产品对身体造成更大的损害。Even 后面形容词
需要用比较级。故填 greater。
46. 考查谓语动词。句意：即使吸入别人呼出的电子烟也会带来健康风险。此句主语“breathing
in……”为动名词形式，smoke 后是由 that 引导的定语从句，空白处缺失谓语动词，动名词
做主语谓语动词用单数，又因为时态用一般现在时，故填 carries。
47. 考查冠词。句意：每个人都有自己的角色，包括父母、卫生保健提供者、教师，以及那些
与年轻人一起工作和关心他们的人。空白处后面的 role 角色是泛指。故填 a。
48. 考查定语从句关系代词。句意：以及那些与年轻人一起工作和关心他们的人。先行词是
those，指代人，并且从句中缺少主语。故填 who。
49. 考查非谓语动词。句意：访问卫生保健专业人员是一个很好的去教育您的孩子有关电子香
烟使用的潜在风险的机会。此句是系表结构，表语 chance 后面是后置定语，需用动词的非谓
语形式，又因为此处的“去教育您的孩子有关电子香烟使用的潜在风险的机会”是表示目的，
故填 to educate。
50. 考查非谓语动词。句意：和你的供应商讨论这些健康风险，包括尼古丁成瘾和尼古丁对发
育中的大脑影响等。空白处是一个定语修饰 brain。又因为前文说到是孩子，是正在发育的大
脑。故填 developing。

One cold evening during the holiday season, a little boy about six or seven
was standing in the front of a store window. The little child had no shoes and
his clothes are just rags. A young woman passed by saw the little boy and could
read the desire in his pale blue eyes. She took the child by the hand and led him
into the store. There she bought her some new shoes and a complete suit of warm clothings. They walked back into the street, so the woman told the child to go
home and has a happy holiday. The little boy looked grateful at her and asked why
she did all this to him. She smiled and replied what she was just returning a
favor she received as a child.
【答案】1.去掉 the
2.are→were
3.passed 前添加 who/that 或 passed→passing
4.her→him
5.clothings→clothing
6.so→and
7.has→have
8.grateful→gratefully
9.to→for
10.what→that
【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。本文写了在一个寒冷的晚上一位女士为一位穿着破烂的男孩买
了一些暖和的衣服和鞋子，小男孩感激地看着她，问她为什么要为他做这些。她笑着回答说，
她只是在报答小时候得到的恩惠。
【详解】
1. 考查冠词。句意：节日期间一个寒冷的晚上，一个六七岁的小男孩站在一家商店的橱窗前。
in the front of 指在某物内部的前部，而 in front of 指位置在某物的前面，在窗子前面，
故去掉 the。
2.考查动词时态。句意：这个小孩没有鞋穿，衣服也只是破布。结合上文 had 可知为一般过去
时，主语为 clothes，谓语动词用复数形式。故 are 改为 were。
3.考查定语从句或非谓语动词。句意：一个路过的年轻女人看到了这个小男孩，她能从他淡蓝
色的眼睛里看出他的渴望。本句可改为定语从句修饰先行词 woman，且先行词在从句中做主语，
指人，故关系代词用 who 或 that，故 passed 前添加 who/that；或分析句子结构可知 pass 在
句中做非谓语动词，与逻辑主语 woman 构成主动关系应用现在分词，故 passed 改为 passing。
故 passed 前添加 who/that 或 passed→passing。
4. 考查代词。句意：在那里，她给他买了几双新鞋和一套暖和的衣服。这位女士是给前文中
的小男孩买的东西，所以这里的他是男的，故 her 改成 him。
5.考查名词。句意同上。clothing 为不可数名词，没有复数形式。故 clothings 改为clothing。
6.考查连词。句意：他们回到街上，那个女人告诉孩子回家过个愉快的假期。结合上下文语境
可知是顺接关系，应用连词 and。故 so 改为 and。
7.考查动词。句意同上。根据短语 tell sb. to do sth.，此处 have 与上文 go home 为并列
结构，应用动词原形。故 has 改为 have。
8.考查副词。句意：小男孩感激地看着她，问她为什么要为他做这些。修饰动词 look 应用副
词，故 grateful 改为 gratefully。
9.考查介词。句意同上。表示“为……”应用介词 for。故 to 改为 for。
10.考查连词。句意：她笑着回答说，她只是在报答小时候得到的恩惠。本句为宾语从句，从
句中不缺少成分故用 that 引导。故 what 改为 that。
