Hiking on mountains offers both physical challenges and sweeping views. The author of America' s Great
Mountain Trails, Tim Palmer, shares some favorite paths with us.
Algonquin Peak, New York
The Adirondacks were one of the first areas in the country to attract outdoor vacationers, Palmer says. “The
trails there have been hiked for centuries.” But this outing near Lake Placid still delivers, reaching the top of New
York's second-highest mountain. “You start out in the forest and end up above tree line. It's a big climb with a long
view across an ocean of peaks.”
More information: visitadirondacks.com
Humbug Mountain, Oregon
This southeast Oregon peak is among the state's tallest, rising directly from the ocean, which rewards visitors
with dramatic Pacific views. Palmer, who lives in the region, says the state park trail offers old-growth forest
scenery and a good mountain hike. The area doesn't get a lot of snow, making it possible to climb in all seasons.
More information: stateparks.Oregon.gov
Wheeler Peak, New Mexico
The highest peak in New Mexico dominates the Sangre de Cristo range near Taos. Hikers on the 8-mile out —
and — back trail through Carson National Forest sometimes see bighorn sheep. “It's a long walk above timberline
(林木线)with grand views to the very southern end of the Rocky Mountain range,” Palmer says.
More information: fs.usda.gov
Youghiogheny Loop, Pennsylvania
Whitewater rafters (木筏工)know the challenging rapids on the Youghiogheny River, but the area is also ideal
for hiking, Palmer says. “There are waterfalls and rapids and trees that have been growing for 100 years and longer.
It’s one of these great hikes that most people can do.”

After university in 2011, Samuel went to a rural primary school for native children, where, on his first day,
another teacher told him, "Samuel, you don't have to do much, they're just Orang Asli-native children." This was
what Samuel would spend years fighting against.
The Orang Asli community has struggled with poverty, melting into society, and losing their own identity and
culture due to others' disregard of it. Samuel saw that the main barrier in teaching these children was the attitude on
the part of many teachers that the native children were not worth their efforts. It was thought that whatever was
taught would make no difference, so nobody bothered to try. The children themselves ended up believing these
stigmas (污名), often doubting what they can achieve. Teachers skipped or slept in classes, and little effort was
made to create an appropriate learning environment. Consequently, the school was one of the worst-performing in
the district.
Samuel bonded with his native students and accepted their culture, leading him to see their potential. However,
he also came to see that they did not have equal opportunities compared to urban schools, due to the lack of
facilities. So he set up a crowdfunding project to create a fully equipped 21st-century English classroom with
tablets and computers. The Orang Asli children now learn technology, experience English and communicate in
English with volunteers all over Malaysia and overseas.
Consequently, the students have improved in national standardized examinations, from a pass rate of 30% in
English (2008-2012) to an average of 80% (2013-2017). These efforts have resulted in a shift of what local children
are considered capable of academically.
4. What did the teacher's words suggest about the native children?
A. They were intelligent. B. They were hopeless.
C. They were unfriendly. D. They were independent.
5. What major problem did Samuel need to solve?
A. The poverty of local people. B. The lack of facilities in his school.
C. The prejudice against the native kids. D. The unsuitable teaching methods.
6. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The change of native students.
B. The importance of learning English.
C. The improvement of native education.
D. Samuel's work for the native kids.
7. What can we learn from Samuel's story?
A. Respect makes a big difference.
B. The academic performance comes first.
C. Everyone deserves access to education.
D. One method can't apply to each situation.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了 Samuel 尊重原居民学生,通过自己的努力改变他们的学习环境,
使他们的学业发生了很大的变化。
【4 题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中其他老师对 Samuel 所说的话“you don't have to do much, they're just Orang
Asli-native children.(你不用做太多,他们只是原居民的孩子)”以及第二段中“the native children were not
worth their efforts. It was thought that whatever was taught would make no difference,(当地的孩子不值得他们的
努力。人们认为无论教什么都不会有区别)”可推知,这些原居民学生被认为是没有希望的。故选 B。
【5 题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Samuel saw that the main barrier in teaching these children was the attitude on
the part of many teachers that the native children were not worth their efforts.(塞缪尔发现教育这些孩子的主要障
碍是许多教师的态度,认为原居民的孩子不值得他们的努力。他们认为无论教什么都不会有区别)”可知,
对这些原居民孩子的偏见是 Samuel 要解决的主要问题。故选 C。
【6 题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Samuel bonded with his native students and accepted their culture, …So he set up a
crowdfunding project to create a fully equipped 21st-century English classroom with tablets and
computers.(Samuel 与他的本土学生建立了联系,接受了他们的文化……他发起了一个众筹项目,希望建立
一个配备电脑、设备齐全的 21 世纪英语教室)”可知,该段是介绍 Samuel 为改善学生学习状态和学习环境
所做的工作。故选 D。
【7 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“the main barrier … was the attitude on the part of many teachers that the native
children were not worth their efforts.”可知,老师对本土学生有偏见,认为教他们不值得努力;根据第二段中
的词语“disregard(漠视,不尊重)”,“stigmas(污名)”可知,这些孩子受到歧视,没有得到尊重;文章第
三段提到 Samuel为改变这些学生的学习环境所做的努力;根据第四段“These efforts have resulted in a shift of
what local children are considered capable of academically.”可知,Samuel 的努力导致了本土儿童在学习能力
方面的转变。Samuel 对本土孩子的尊重,为他们做出的努力,使他们的学业有了很大的变化。由此推知,
从 Samuel 的故事中,我们可以学习到尊重能带来巨大的变化。故选 A。

The British Museum's rich collection of ancient Chinese paintings has attracted many visitors. At the heart of
this preservation and revival of Chinese art history is senior conservator (文物修复员) Qiu Jinxian.
Joanna Kosek, head of Pictorial Art Conservation at the British Museum, told the Times Publications that Qiu
is considered one of the museum's most priceless treasures. "We let the treasure treat the treasure," Kosek said.
In 1987, Qiu was introduced to Mrs. Jessica Rawson, director of the British Museum. At the time there were
no conservators specializing in ancient Chinese art at the British Museum. The large collection of Chinese ancient
paintings and cultural relics in the museum was mainly repaired by Japanese and British methods and materials. As
these methods were not suitable for Chinese paintings, the art collection was kept in storage for a long time instead
of on pubic display.
Just before Christmas in 1987, Qiu Jinxian had her first appointment at the British Museum. She was asked to
repair an ancient scroll (卷轴) by Fu Baoshi, which had been badly damaged by fire. Qiu's methods, which
included washing with warm water to separate the glue in order to repair the paper, stunned people on the spot.
Some of them even got out the camera to record her methods as they'd never seen this way of restoring ancient art.
Mrs. Rawson was completely amazed by Qiu Jinxian's incredible skills. She immediately invited Qiu to join the
British Museum.
Chinese ancient paintings are notoriously difficult to repair because of their large size, complex materials,
diverse colors, and rich composition. The most important thing is to understand the long history, meaning and
culture behind the painting. Repair is an extremely time-and-energy intensive process.Each painting normally takes
several months from cleaning to restoration and drying. Since 1987, Qiu has repaired more than 400 artworks.
Oiu told the media that she is very proud of her work. She wants more people to understand and appreciate
Chinese history and culture through art. Although the artworks originated from China, they now belong to the
people of the world.
8. Why is Qiu considered a treasure at the British Museum?
A. She understands Chinese history well.
B. She is the only Chinese conservator there.
C. She repaired the Chinese scroll successfully.
D. She has special skills to repair the treasures.
9. What does the underlined word "stunned" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Panicked. B. Inspired. C. Shocked. D. Influenced.
10. What matters most for repairing Chinese artworks?
A. A deep understanding of the objects. B. Incredible painting skills.
C. Strong determination. D. A sound knowledge of Chinese history.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Well-known Chinese Conservator
B. The Protector of Chinese Treasures at the British Museum
C. The Chinese Treasures Repaired at the British Museum
D. The Ancient Chinese Artworks Exhibited at the British Museum
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章本文主要讲述中国文物修复员邱进贤在大英博物馆修复宝藏。
【8 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Qiu's methods, which included washing with warm water to separate the glue in
order to repair the paper, stunned people on the spot. Some of them even got out the camera to record her methods
as they'd never seen this way of restoring ancient art.(邱女士的方法,包括用温水洗净胶水,以修补纸张,令人
目瞪口呆,有些人甚至拿出相机记录下她的方法,因为他们从未见过这种修复古代艺术品的方法)”可知,
邱女士修复古代艺术品的方法独特,使得其被称为大英博物馆的“珍宝”。故选 D。
【9 题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Some of them even got out the camera to record her methods as they'd never seen
this way of restoring ancient art. Mrs. Rawson was completely amazed by Qiu Jinxian's incredible skills.(有些人甚
至拿出摄像机记录下她的方法,因为他们从未见过这样复原古代艺术的方法。罗森太太对邱进贤的高超技
艺,感到十分惊讶)”可知,划线词所在处的意思为 “震惊了现场的一些人”。故选 C。
【10 题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The most important thing is to understand the long history, meaning and culture
behind the painting.(最重要的是要了解绘画背后的悠久历史,意义和文化)”可知,修复中国艺术品的重点在
于要了解中国艺术品背后的历史。故选 D。
【11 题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“he British Museum's rich collection of ancient Chinese paintings has attracted many
visitors.At the heart of this preservation and revival of Chinese art history is senior conservator (文物修复员) Qiu
Jinxian. (大英博物馆丰富的中国古画收藏吸引了众多的参观者。保存和复兴中国艺术史的核心是资深修复员
邱进贤)”及第二段中“Qiu is considered one of the museum's most priceless treasures. "We let the treasure treat
the treasure," Kosek said.(邱被认为是博物馆最无价的珍宝之一。“我们让珍宝治疗珍宝,”科塞克说)”及下
文讲述邱女士修复文物的事件,可知,本文主要讲述中国文物修复员邱进贤在大英博物馆修复文物。所以
标题应为“中国著名的文物修复员”。故选 A。
D
Purchasing a large area of forest far from downtown for a giant nature preserve, or buying a network of
smaller patches of forest throughout town that add up to the same size, which is better for protecting species in and
around town when you only have limited resources? This SLOSS debate-single large or several small has been
confusing conservation biologists and land managers for long.
Throughout the debate, both sides have exchanged strong and convincing points. Some believe that a single
large nature preserve is better. Mathematically, in the same area, one large circle has less land exposed to the edges
than four small ones of the same area. And many species don't like edges. For example, some species such as
mountain lions require a lot of space to reside, while others prefer central forested areas far from edges. If a nature
preserve was split into many small patches, they would hardly attract these species to settle down. In order to
protect rare species, it is necessary to have a larger preserve.
Hang on. What if one has to purchase a large area of land in places that are highly urbanized? Despite the
incredible cost, it might even be impossible to find a huge amount of land there. In that case, it is wise to have a
network of several small nature preserves. This set-up may make the preserves easier to manage. Some land with
sensitive properties could be enclosed by fences, while other parts could be transformed into walking trails.
Additionally, having several small preserves means more biological diversity. Different species exist in different
varieties of land. It is also much easier to protect some species from disturbances like wildfires, which could
destroy everything.
The SLOSS debate may not simply end with an absolute answer. However, it is very meaningful to have
debates like SLOSS as it gives both scientists and land managers the opportunity to discuss the best solution for
protecting local wildlife, depending on the situation at hand.
12. What does the SLOSS debate mainly focus on?
A. Where to purchase land. B. What to do to protect forests.
C. How to make use of resources. D. How to design nature preserves.
13. Which of the following might be favored by mountain lions?
A. A small area with few species. B. A large area distant from edges.
C. A central space exposed to edges. D. A small space with various species.
14. What is one consequence of having several small preserves?
A. More species move out. B. Land covers a larger area.
C. Wildfires occur less frequently. D. Fences are commonly adopted.
15. What does the author think of the SLOSS debate?
A. Interesting. B. Significant. C. Controversial. D. Time-consuming.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了 SLOSS 辩论,即是用一大块土地还是加起来同样大小的小块地
作为自然保护区。虽然 SLOSS 辩论现在没有找到方法,但也具有重要意义,因为它让科学家和土地管理者
都有机会讨论在当前情况下保护当地野生动物的最佳解决方案。
【12 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Purchasing a large area of forest far from downtown for a giant nature preserve, or
buying a network of smaller patches of forest throughout town that add up to the same size, which is better for
protecting species in and around town when you only have limited resources? This SLOSS debate-single large or
several small has been confusing conservation biologists and land managers for long.”(购买远离市中心的一大
块森林作为一个巨大自然保护区,还是在小镇上买几个加起来同样大小的小块地,当在城镇里你只有有限
的资源时哪一个对保护物种更好呢?长时间以来, SLOSS 争论——一大块地还是几块小地——一直困扰着
生物学家和土地管理者)可知,SLOSS 争论主要关注的是如何设计自然保护区——是大块森林自然保护区,
还是几个贯穿城镇的小块土地。故选 D。
【13 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“And many species don't like edges. For example, some species such as mountain
lions require a lot of space to reside”(很多物种都不喜欢边缘。例如,一些物种,如美洲狮需要很大的居住
空间)可推知,美洲狮更喜欢远离边缘的大块区域。故选 B。
【14 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“In that case, it is wise to have a network of several small nature preserves. This
set-up may make the preserves easier to manage. Some land with sensitive properties could be enclosed by fences,
while other parts could be transformed into walking trails.”(在这种情况下,建立一个由几个小型保护区组成
的网络是明智的。这种设置让保护区更容易管理。一些具有敏感属性的土地可以用栅栏围起来,而另外一
些部分可以被改造成步行道。)可知,小型保护区经常会用到栅栏。故选 D。
【15 题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The SLOSS debate may not simply end with an absolute answer. However, it is very
meaningful to have debates like SLOSS as it gives both scientists and land managers the opportunity to discuss the
best solution for protecting local wildlife, depending on the situation at hand.”(SLOSS 辩论可能不会简单地以
一个绝对的答案结束。然而,像 SLOSS 这样的辩论是非常有意义的,因为它让科学家和土地管理者都有机
会讨论在当前情况下保护当地野生动物的最佳解决方案。)可推知,作者认为 SLOSS 辩论是具有重要意义
的。故选 B。

国珍宝,四川省及其省会成都是发现和研究中国古代文明的焦点,古代文明对当代四川文化的强大影响。
【36 题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意:1929 年的一个下午,在中国四川省的一个村庄,一个农民和他的儿子在挖井
时意外地发现了一个真正的文明奇迹。当时间状语从句的主语与主句主语一致,且有 be 动词时,可以省略
从句的主语及 be 动词;此处表示过去正在发生的动作,要用过去进行时,即 when (the farmer and his son were)
digging a well。故填 digging。
【37 题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:这位农民发现了包括青铜、黄金和玉器在内的古蜀国珍宝,为 3000—5000 年前超越
中国中原地区的中华古文明提供了证据。根据介词 of可知,此处要用名词,且由including bronze, gold and jade
from the ancient Kingdom of Shu 可知,要用名词的复数。故填 treasures。
【38 题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:这位农民发现了包括青铜、黄金和玉器在内的古蜀国珍宝,为 3000—5000 年前超越
中国中原地区的中华古文明提供了证据。分析句子成分可知,此句主语是 The farmer’s discovery of treasures,
缺少谓语动词,描述过去的事情,应用一般过去时。故填 provided。
【39 题详解】
考查代词。句意:三星堆文明有自己的习俗和仪式,也有非凡的创新。根据名词 customs and rituals 可知,
此处要用形容词性代词 its。故填 its。

可知,此处要用定冠词 the,表示特指。故填 the。
【41 题详解】
考查动词时态及语态。句意:到目前为止,在这里发现了一些中国最古老的历史遗迹,提供了中国古代工
艺、习俗和实践的证据。分析句子成分可知,此句主语是 some of China’s oldest historical relics,缺少谓语动
词,且主语与 find 之间是动宾关系,因此要用被动语态,根据 So far 可知,此处时态要用现在完成时。故
填 have been found。
【42 题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:表演者进行变脸表演,他们换面具的速度比观众能跟上的速度快。分析句子可知,
此处是一个定语从句,先行词是 performance,根据定语从句 they change masks faster than audiences can follow
中主谓宾成分完整,缺少状语,此处要用关系副词 where 引导。故填 where。
【43 题详解】
考查介词。句意:它们都植根于中国古代文明,显示了古代文明对当代四川文化的强大影响。根据 the strong
effect ancient civilization has 可知,此处要用介词 on,短语 have the/an effect on sth.“对……有影响、有作用”。
故填 on。
【44 题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在四川发现的宝藏对于追溯中华文明的起源起到了重要作用。根据谓语动词 play an
important role in 且无连词,可知此处要用非谓语动词,由 Treasures 和 discover 之间是被动关系,应用过去
分词,作后置定语,修饰名词 Treasures。故填 discovered。
【45 题详解】
考查副词。句意:由于自然肥沃,该地区吸引了早期的移民,从三星堆等遗址,考古学家和历史学家可以
发现很多关于中国文明的东西。根据形容词 fertile 可知,此处要用副词,作状语。故填 naturally。

第二节(满分 25 分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I’d been invited to join a group of people who took water and breakfast to a local park where day laborers
gathered, hoping to be chosen for work. My friend Kim and I spoke with a Mexican man in his forties named Natal,
wearing a T-shirt and faded jeans. Next to him, on the low wall where he sat, rested a large backpack and a bedroll.
We had a wonderful conversation, ranging from the difficulty of finding work to artwork, from Santa Fe
history to Natal’s “beautiful home,” as he described it. Natal told us of his travels in search of work. He had
traveled all over the U.S. and Canada, taking jobs where he found them, meeting people, and seeing the sights. He
told us he’d especially loved Oregon.
He was filled with praise, too, for the beauty of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains outside Santa Fe and for all
the history in the town. We agreed that the area was extremely beautiful. He grinned and told us it was important to
appreciate beauty. Then, he invited us to visit him in his home in the mountains. He wanted to show us the beauty
of the trees and have us smell the freshness in the mountains. He wanted to be a good host.
We continued to talk and it became clear that Natal’s “home” was a clearing under the trees. His bed was the
bedroll he carried with him, spread on the ground under the starlight. He loved it there and wanted to share it with
us. We declined, telling him that we were honored by the invitation, but that our classes would keep us too busy to
make the trip.
Natal’s love of his “home” was in sharp contrast to my complaint about the water in my pipes not heating up
fast enough, about my bedroom ceiling being too low, about not having central air conditioning, about my lack of a
fenced yard. How annoying I was! If I was amazed by his appreciation for everything he had, I was completely
floored (击倒) by what happened next.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150 左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I have always hated socks and it was a warm June day, so I was wearing no socks.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
He thought I felt his socks weren’t good enough for me.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】one possible version :
I have always hated socks and it was a warm June day, so I was wearing no socks. In the midst of conversation,
Natal noticed that I had no socks on my feet. He pointed and asked if I needed socks. I looked at my feet as though
they had just grown there. He commented that I wasn’t wearing socks and that I must need socks. Without
hesitation, he opened his backpack, pulled out a package of socks, and showed me. I quickly told him that, no, no, I
didn’t need socks.
He thought I felt his socks weren’t good enough for me. He wanted me to know they had never been worn by
anyone. Brand-new! Good enough! I told him I was honored he would give me his socks but that I truly disliked
wearing socks. He accepted that I wasn’t disturbed by the idea of wearing his socks; I just didn’t want any socks at
all. What he didn’t know was that I was absolutely touched, almost to the point of tears. Let’s not forget that we
volunteers are never the only ones with something to give—and many times, when we reach out to help others, we
receive more than we give. What a blessing for us.

和朋友金与一个墨西哥人 Natal 交谈,他们谈论了很多,交谈过程中作者因 Natal 对“家”的爱而对自己常

的,这种给予和收获的行为使作者很感慨。

己不需要袜子。
②.由第二段首句内容“他认为我觉得他的袜子配不上我。”可知,第二段可描写 Natal 向作者解释这些袜
子是全新的、没穿过的。作者感谢了他并解释了自己不要袜子。作者被 Natal 的行为感动了。
