A
Every delicious steak you have ever enjoyed eating started with a good cut of meat. However, picking that perfect cut can be challenging—supermarkets are flooded with options, and it is not as straightforward as simply choosing the one with the highest price tag. Follow this guide for some advice.
Tenderloin(US), Fillet(UK), Eye Fillet(AUS/NZ)
A classic cut, the tenderloin comes from the strip of muscle tucked against the backbone of the animal. As this muscle does not do much work, this is the tenderest cut of beef—which also makes it the most expensive, and arguably the most desirable. We say “arguably” because, while the tenderloin is supremely lean and a favorite of those who love their steak to melt in their mouth, it can also be tasteless. Filet mignon, widely referred to as the creme de la creme (精华) of all steak cuts, is cut from the very tip of the tenderloin.
Ribeye(US/ UK), Scotch fillet(AUS/NZ)
This cut, from the rib section of the animal, comes with an abundance of rich marbling. The ribeye won’t give you that same “melt-in-your-mouth” feeling, but it is still one of the tenderest cuts available. Differently, the ribeye is cooked with the bone in, while the Scotch fillet is not.
Strip(US), Sirloin(UK), Porterhouse(AUS/NZ)
Coming from the hindquarter of the animal, the strip is not quite as tender as the tenderloin, or loaded with quite as much flavor as the ribeye, but for many steak lovers, it is just right. The best part is that because this all-rounder has a bit more chew and a bit less marbling than those cuts, it tends to be less expensive.
T-bone
Can’t decide between the tenderloin and the strip Why not both The T-bone is cut with strip on one side of a bone, and tenderloin on the other. With two very different textures (口感) and flavors, the T-bone gets the best of both worlds, but it can also be more difficult to cook. The meat closer to the bone is slower to cook than the rest of the steak.
1. What makes the tenderloin the most expensive part among the steak
A. Different textures. B. Much flavor.
C. Rich marbling. D. The tenderest cut.
2. What can we learn about the steaks from the passage
A. It’s not a piece of cake to pick a perfect cut.
B. All things considered, Ribeye is the best.
C. A good cut only means the most expensive one.
D. It usually takes little time to cook T-bone.
3. Which of the following is not mentioned in the article concerning steak
A. Price. B. Packaging. C. Cooking method. D. Flavor.
【答案】1. D 2. A 3. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了一些选优质牛排的方法。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Tenderloin(US), Fillet(UK), Eye Fillet(AUS/NZ)部分的“As this muscle does not do much work, this is the tenderest cut of beef—which also makes it the most expensive, and arguably the most desirable. (由于这块肌肉不做太多的工作，所以它是牛肉中最嫩的部分，这也使得它最贵，也可以说是最令人满意的)”可知，tenderloin在牛排里面是最贵的部分是因为它是最嫩的牛肉块。故选D。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“However, picking that perfect cut can be challenging—supermarkets are flooded with options, and it is not as straightforward as simply choosing the one with the highest price tag.(然而，要挑出最完美的那块是很有挑战性的——超市里琳琅满目的选择，不像选择价格最高的那块那么简单)”可知，选择一个完美的牛肉块不是那么容易的。故选A。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。Strip(US), Sirloin(UK), Porterhouse(AUS/NZ)部分的“it tends to be less expensive(所以它往往更便宜)”提到了牛排的价格；Ribeye(US/ UK), Scotch fillet(AUS/NZ)部分的“Differently, the ribeye is cooked with the bone in(不同的是，肋眼是带着骨头一起煮的)”提到了烹饪方法；Strip(US), Sirloin(UK), Porterhouse(AUS/NZ)部分的“Coming from the hindquarter of the animal, the strip is not quite as tender as the tenderloin, or loaded with quite as much flavor as the ribeye, but for many steak lovers, it is just right. (来自牛的后腿，这条肉不像里脊肉那么嫩，也不像肋眼肉那么有味道，但对许多牛排爱好者来说，它刚刚好)”和T-bone部分的“With two very different textures (口感) and flavors(有两种非常不同的纹理和口感)”提到风味。因此，选项中关于牛排没有提到的是包装。故选B。
B
The Lost City, Atlantis is a magnificent and ancient city lying beneath the waves of the sea. Does this sound like a fairy tale to you Many people have tried and failed to find it. Michael Hubner from Germany thought he had. Let us learn more about this fascinating city.
The Greek philosopher Plato, who lived in the 4th century BC, mentioned Atlantis in detail in his writings. He said that Atlantis was a city built on an island around 9,000 years before his time. Atlantis became a powerful nation that planned to conquer all other countries. However, it disappeared suddenly beneath the sea into the Atlantic Ocean because of earthquakes and floods. Plato gave 51 clues to its location. He described the city having an island at the center and being surrounded by rings of water and land. He also said how far the city was from Athens in Greece.
Many explorers had tried and failed to find Atlantis under the sea. They had been looking under the sea because of what Plato wrote about it. A German computer expert called Michael Huber came up with the theory that Atlantis was not at the bottom of the ocean. He thought that Atlantis had been destroyed by a tsunami wave. The strong force of the wave would have caused the end of the once great city.
Michael Hubner looked at all of Plato’s clues again. He used a computer program to enter all the information that Plato wrote about. The computer program would check on a map of the world for a place that matched all the clues. In this way Michael Hubner was able to find the place that Atlantis might have been. The computer program pointed to a place on the Moroccan coast in Africa, which was called the Souss-massa plain. Michael Hubner immediately boarded a plane to look for himself. When he got there, he was surprised to see many things that matched Plato’s description. There was a small mound in the centre of the plain and circular dry riverbeds. It was also very close to the distance that Plato had described.
We know that a tsunami can occur if there is an earthquake. The area of the Souss-Massa plain has had many earthquakes over years. Michael Hubner’s theory that a massive tsunami had flattened the city is not impossible. This would explain why it disappeared so suddenly.
Even though Michael Huber believed that he had found the site of Atlantis, many experts disagreed. Some scholars have suggested that Plato might have been writing about Crete and the neighbouring island of Santorini, which was badly destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 1600 BC. Others feel he made up the story and based it on old legends. Michael Hubner believed Plato. He used his time and energy to prove to himself that Atlantis existed and stood proudly along the Moroccan coast.
4. Which one fits Plato’s description of Atlantis
A. Atlantis was struck by earthquakes and floods.
B. Atlantis was far away from the city Athens in Greece.
C. Atlantis was a city built on an island about 9,000 years BC.
D. Atlantis disappeared because it was conquered by more powerful countries.
5. Why did Michael Hubner go to the Souss-massa plain
A. To explore a tsunami wave.
B. To prove he is an computer expert.
C. To explore the possible site of Atlantis.
D. To prove Atlantis was destroyed by floods.
6. What is the author’s attitude towards Michael Hubner’s theory
A. Doubtful. B. Opposed. C. Critical. D. Objective.
7. What can be learned from the text
A. The lost city proved to be merely a legend.
B. Michael Hubner was completely against Plato’s idea.
C. Lots of experts still questioned Michael Hubner’s theory.
D. Atlantis was severely affected by a volcanic eruption in 1600 BC.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍迈克尔·哈伯纳用自己的理论证明他找到了亚特兰蒂斯帝国，但一些专家对此表示怀疑。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“However, it disappeared suddenly beneath the sea into the Atlantic Ocean because of earthquakes and floods.(然而，由于地震和洪水，它突然消失在海底，沉入大西洋)”可知，根据Plato的描述亚特兰蒂斯曾经被地震和洪水袭击。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“The computer program would check on a map of the world for a place that matched all the clues. In this way Michael Hubner was able to find the place that Atlantis might have been. The computer program pointed to a place on the Moroccan coast in Africa, which was called the Souss-massa plain. Michael Hubner immediately boarded a plane to look for himself.(计算机程序将在世界地图上查找与所有线索相匹配的地方。就这样，迈克尔·哈伯纳找到了亚特兰蒂斯可能存在的地方。计算机程序指向了非洲摩洛哥海岸的一个地方，那里被称为苏斯-马萨平原。Michael Hubner立即登上飞机自己去寻找)”可知，迈克尔·哈伯纳去苏斯-马萨平原是为了探索亚特兰蒂斯可能的所在的。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“We know that a tsunami can occur if there is an earthquake. The area of the Souss-Massa plain has had many earthquakes over years. Michael Hubner’s theory that a massive tsunami had flattened the city is not impossible. This would explain why it disappeared so suddenly.(我们知道地震会引发海啸。苏斯-马萨平原地区多年来发生过多次地震。Michael Hubner认为大规模海啸夷平了这座城市的理论并非不可能。这就解释了为什么它消失得如此突然)”和最后一段“Even though Michael Huber believed that he had found the site of Atlantis, many experts disagreed. Some scholars have suggested that Plato might have been writing about Crete and the neighbouring island of Santorini, which was badly destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 1600 BC. Others feel he made up the story and based it on old legends.(尽管迈克尔·胡伯相信他已经找到了亚特兰蒂斯的遗址，但许多专家并不同意。一些学者认为柏拉图可能写的是克里特岛和邻近的圣托里尼岛，圣托里尼岛在公元前1600年的一次火山爆发中被严重摧毁。其他人则认为这个故事是他根据古老的传说编造出来的)”可知，作者认为大规模海啸将亚特兰蒂斯夷为平地这种理论是有可能的，并且陈述了一些专家对他的理论的质疑。由此推知，作者对迈克尔·哈伯纳的理论持客观态度。故选D。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Even though Michael Huber believed that he had found the site of Atlantis, many experts disagreed.

Imagine wearing high-tech body armor (盔甲) that makes you super strong and tireless. Such technology, more specifically called an exoskeleton, sounds like the preserve of the Iron Man series of superhero movies. Yet the equipment is increasingly being worn in real life around the world. And one manufacturer—California’s SuitX—expects it to go mainstream. “There is no doubt in my mind that these devices will eventually be sold at hardware stores,” says SuitX’s founder Homayoon Kazerooni.
In simple terms, an exoskeleton is an external device that supports, covers and protects its user, giving greater levels of strength and endurance. Sometimes also referred to as “wearable robots”, they can be battery-powered and computer-operated, incorporating motors and hydraulics. Or they can be more simple, passive designs that use springs and dampeners.
“Integrating humans and machines into one system opens up a new realm of opportunity,” says Adrian Spragg, an expert on the technology at management consultancy Accenture. “Many of the early applications have been focused on military and medical applications, but in the last several years there’s been an explosion of use in a range of cases.” This expansion, which has come together with rapid advances in the technology, has seen exoskeletons increasingly used by manufacturing workers. Versions for consumers are also now being developed to help people more easily do everything from DIY, to walking, climbing stairs, and other daily activities. One report says sales are now due to rocket as a result. Global exoskeleton revenues (收入) are expected to explode from $392 million in 2020 to $6.8 billion in 2030, according to a study by ABI Research.
SuitX’s “suits” are now being tested by car manufacturers General Motors and Fiat. Prof Kazerooni, who is also the director of the University of California’s Berkeley Robotics and Human Engineering Laboratory, says that the primary benefit of the firm’s exoskeletons is to prevent muscle fatigue (疲劳).
“In general I see this development as very positive for occupational health and safety,” Prof Sandra Wachter says. “Machines are supposed to help us with dull, dangerous and dirty jobs. Problems, however, arise if robotics also double as workplace monitors. Are these suits tracking your movements, how fast you move, and how often you take breaks Does a system compare this data with those of other workers to score or rank them What happens if you move slower than others, or take breaks more often ”
8. Why was the Iron Man was mentioned in Paragraph 1
A. To inspire us to be strong and determined.
B. To remind us of the popular film Iron Man.
C. To urge the readers to buy the newly designed products.
D. To illustrate the technology—exoskeleton.
9. What do the underlined word “rocket” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Climb. B. Crash. C. Stabilize. D. Vary.
10. What do you know about an exoskeleton
A. An exoskeleton is capable of working by itself using solar energy.
B. In the future, all the people will have to count on an exoskeleton.
C. An exoskeleton can be widely employed in our daily life.
D. Prof Kazerooni objects to the popularity of the exoskeleton.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Iron Man Appeals to the Young B. Exoskeletons Change Our Future Life
C. Everyone Can Be a Hero D. Exoskeletons Replace Future Humans
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了什么是外骨骼技术，以及它在日常生活中更广泛的应用将给人们带来的便利。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Such technology, more specifically called an exoskeleton, sounds like the preserve of the Iron Man series of superhero movies. Yet the equipment is increasingly being worn in real life around the world. (这种技术，更具体地说是外骨骼，听起来像是钢铁侠系列超级英雄电影的专利。然而，世界各地越来越多的人在现实生活中佩戴这种设备)”和第二段的“In simple terms, an exoskeleton is an external device that supports, covers and protects its user, giving greater levels of strength and endurance. Sometimes also referred to as “wearable robots”, they can be battery-powered and computer-operated, incorporating motors and hydraulics.(简单来说，外骨骼是一种支持、覆盖和保护其使用者的外部设备，可以提供更高水平的力量和耐力。有时也被称为‘可穿戴机器人’，它们可以由电池供电，由计算机操作，结合电机和液压系统)”推知，第一段提到钢铁侠是为了形象地说明外骨骼这门技术。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Global exoskeleton revenues (收入) are expected to explode from $392 million in 2020 to $6.8 billion in 2030, according to a study by ABI Research.(根据ABI Research的一项研究，全球外骨骼收入预计将从2020年的3.92亿美元激增至2030年的68亿美元)”可知，据估计外骨骼的销售会直线上升。由此可知，目前销售额在增加，因此猜测rocket意为“增加”，与climb同义。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“This expansion, which has come together with rapid advances in the technology, has seen exoskeletons increasingly used by manufacturing workers. Versions for consumers are also now being developed to help people more easily do everything from DIY, to walking, climbing stairs, and other daily activities. (这种扩张伴随着技术的快速进步，外骨骼越来越多地被制造业工人使用。针对消费者的版本也正在开发中，帮助人们更轻松地完成从DIY到步行、爬楼梯和其他日常活动的所有事情)”可知，外骨骼可以被广泛地应用于我们的日常生活中。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Imagine wearing high-tech body armor (盔甲) that makes you super strong and tireless. Such technology, more specifically called an exoskeleton, sounds like the preserve of the Iron Man series of superhero movies. Yet the equipment is increasingly being worn in real life around the world.(想象一下，穿上高科技防弹衣，让你变得超级强壮和不知疲倦。这种技术，更具体地说是外骨骼，听起来像是钢铁侠系列超级英雄电影的专利。然而，世界各地越来越多的人在现实生活中佩戴这种设备)”和第三段的“This expansion, which has come together with rapid advances in the technology, has seen exoskeletons increasingly used by manufacturing workers. Versions for consumers are also now being developed to help people more easily do everything from DIY, to walking, climbing stairs, and other daily activities. (这种扩张伴随着技术的快速进步，外骨骼越来越多地被制造业工人使用。针对消费者的版本也正在开发中，帮助人们更轻松地完成从DIY到步行、爬楼梯和其他日常活动的所有事情)”可知，本文主要介绍了什么是外骨骼技术，以及它在日常生活中更广泛的应用将给人们带来的便利。因此B项“外骨骼改变我们的未来生活”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选B。
D
Mozart was a genius, but he struggled like an average person during early twenties. He had to work to make ends meet. Underpaid and unsatisfied by his average performances, he felt a burning desire to devote more time and energy to his art. So after a period of doubt and thinking, that’s exactly what he did. He quit his job and began what turned out to be the most creative period of his life.
Even if you never hope to reach Mozart’s level of mastery, you may relate to his need to break free from convention. Maybe you’ve done everything right—stood out at school, and got a high-paying job—but you’re tired of being just like everyone else. Maybe you long to achieve something that is obviously you.
What, then, is holding you back Rich Karlgaard, the publisher of Forbes magazine and author of Late Bloomers, argues that our culture’s obsession with early achievement discourages us from going after what we love. Instead of having varied interests, studying widely, and taking our time—essentials for self-discovery—we’re encouraged to pass tests, become specialists right away, and pursue safe and secure careers. As a result, most of us end up choosing professional excellence over personal achievement, and often we lose ourselves in the process.
As you move forward, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, it’s never too late to become yourself. Aristotle, for example, didn’t fully devote himself to writing and philosophy until he was nearly 50. There are also benefits to taking a long, winding path to achievement. Remember that age usually brings wisdom, self-knowledge, and creativity. This is one reason the average age of founders of high-growth start-ups is 45.
If you ever get stuck, think of Joanne, a talented and creative woman who bounced from job to job throughout her twenties. She felt like a total failure. But she took that feeling of hopelessness and chose to do what she’d always wanted to do—write fantasy novels for children. As she would later recount, ”I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was.“
You’ve probably heard of her. Her pen name is J. K. Rowling.
Now get to work.
12. What does the author want to show by telling Mozart’s story in Paragraph 1
A. Suffering makes a man wise.
B. Each of us has a special beauty.
C. It’s pretty tough for genius to seek a job.
D. A man should be brave to pursue his dream.
13. In Rich Karlgaard’s opinion, what prevents people from going after what they love
A. Desire for early achievement.
B. Too wide a range of interests.
C. A waste of time on self-discovery.
D. Studying deeply in different fields.
14. What can we learn from the passage
A. All the geniuses have been total failures.
B. Age is no obstacle to going after dreams.
C. Every highly successful person hasn’t been applied to working.
D. Hopelessness discouraged people from chasing after their dreams.
15. What’s the main purpose of the passage
A. To emphasize the significance of showing talents.
B. To analyze the reasons for failure in previous jobs.
C. To share success stories of famous people in different fields.
D To encourage people to become themselves whatever the age.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章用一些名人的例子说明成为自己永远都不晚。

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的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。
Weighing yourself regularly is a wonderful way to stay aware of any significant weight changes. ____16____
As for me, weighing myself every day caused me to shift my focus from being generally healthy and physically active, to focusing only on the scale. The original training program is beneficial for me to develop muscle. ____17____ However, thinking only of lowering the number on the scale, I changed my training program.
I found that weighing myself daily did not provide an accurate description of the hard work and progress I was making in the gym. It takes about three weeks to a month to notice significant changes in your weight due to changing your training program. The most immediate changes will be observed in skill level, strength and inches lost. ____18____ Instead, I switched to a bimonthly weighing schedule. Weighing every other month allows me to observe and account for any significant weight changes. ____19____ I use my bimonthly weigh-in results to get information about my nutrition as well. If my training intensity remains the same, but I’m constantly hungry and dropping weight, this is a sign that I need to increase my daily caloric intake.
____20____ I’m experiencing increased passion for working out since I no longer carry the burden of a disappointing morning weigh-in. I’ve also experienced greater success in achieving my specific fitness goals, because I’m training according to those goals, not the numbers on a scale.
Rather than obsessing over the scale, turn your focus to how you look, feel, how your clothes fit and your overall energy level.
A. That was bad to my overall fitness goals.
B. Muscles rely on more than just activity to grow.
C. I had gained weight in the form of muscle mass before.
D. For these reasons, I stopped weighing myself every day.
E. That tells me whether I need to adjust my training program.
F. The decision to stop weighing myself every day has done a lot of wonders.
G. However, when done too often, this habit can sometimes hurt more than it helps.
【答案】16. G 17. C 18. D 19. E 20. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过作者的经历告诉读者过于关注体重有时会适得其反，人们应该更关注自己的感觉以及整体的精神面貌。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Weighing yourself regularly is a wonderful way to stay aware of any significant weight changes.(定期称重是一种很好的方法，可以随时了解体重的变化)”结合下文作者提到每天称重的负面影响推知，空处内容与上文为转折关系，指出过于频繁称重也有不好的影响。G项“However, when done too often, this habit can sometimes hurt more than it helps.(然而，如果经常这样做，这个习惯有时会弊大于利)”符合语境，承上启下。故选G。
【17题详解】
根据上文“The original training program is beneficial for me to develop muscle.(最初的训练计划有利于我发展肌肉)”并结合常识可知，前期肌肉的发展会导致体重增加。C项“I had gained weight in the form of muscle mass before.(在大量肌肉形成前，我的体重增加了)”符合语境。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据上文“I found that weighing myself daily did not provide an accurate description of the hard work and progress I was making in the gym. It takes about three weeks to a month to notice significant changes in your weight due to changing your training program. The most immediate changes will be observed in skill level, strength and inches lost. (我发现，每天称重并不能准确描述我在健身房的努力和进步。由于训练计划的改变，大约需要三周到一个月的时间才能注意到体重的显著变化。最直接的变化将在技能水平、力量和损失的英寸数上观察到)”和下文“Instead, I switched to a bimonthly weighing schedule. (相反，我改成每两个月称重的计划)”可知，每天称重不能准确描述作者的努力和进步，因为大约需要三周到一个月的时间才能注意到体重的显著变化；由此推知作者停止了每天称重的计划，改成了每两个月称重。D项“For these reasons, I stopped weighing myself every day.(出于这些原因，我停止了每天称重)”符合题意，these reasons指代上文提到的内容。故选D。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Weighing every other month allows me to observe and account for any significant weight changes.(每隔一个月称一次体重可以让我观察和解释任何显著的体重变化)”可推知，空处应陈述作者可以根据体重是否有显著变化来调节训练计划。E项“That tells me whether I need to adjust my training program.(这告诉我是否需要调整我的训练计划)”符合题意。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据下文“I’m experiencing increased passion for working out since I no longer carry the burden of a disappointing morning weigh-in. I’ve also experienced greater success in achieving my specific fitness goals, because I’m training according to those goals, not the numbers on a scale.(我对锻炼的热情越来越高，因为我再也不用背负早晨令人失望的体重负担了。在实现特定的健身目标方面，我也经历了更大的成功，因为我是根据这些目标而不是体重秤上的数字来训练的)”可知，停止每天称重给作者带来了好处。F项“The decision to stop weighing myself every day has done a lot of wonders.(停止每天称体重的决定已经产生了很多奇迹)”符合题意，引出下文。故选F。

43. has been celebrated
44. admiration
45. meaning
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了我国传统节日“龙抬头”的来历。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：龙头节是每年农历二月初二，那时龙从冬眠中醒来，这一天之后，降雨量会增加。空处引导非限制性定语从句，代替先行词the second day of the second lunar month every year在从句中作时间状语，应用关系副词when。故填when。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意：传统上，龙被认为是负责带来雨水，这是古代农业社会的一个重要因素。be in charge of“负责，掌管”是固定短语。故填in。
【38题详解】
考查固定表达。句意：传说有一年干旱袭击了一个村庄。legend has it that...“传说……，相传……”是固定句型，it作形式宾语。故填it。
【39题详解】
考查时态。句意同上。空处为从句谓语动词，根据时间状语 one year可知，陈述过去的事情，用一般过去时。故填struck。
【40题详解】
考查连词。句意：为了惩罚龙，玉皇大帝把它囚禁在一座山上，并说除非金豆开花，否则他永远不会释放它。引导条件状语从句表示“除非”应用unless。故填unless。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：一位聪明的村民发现玉米粒像黄豆一样是金黄色的，更重要的是，玉米粒在烘烤时可以开花。villager“村民”是可数名词单数形式，此处是泛指，应用不定冠词修饰，且clever的发音是辅音音素开头，故填A。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。空处应填非谓语动词和when构成时间状语，roast和逻辑主语corn kernels之间是被动关系，应用过去分词。故填roasted。
【43题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：从那时起，中国就以各种方式庆祝龙抬头节，以表达对龙的崇拜。空处为句子谓语动词，根据时间状语since then判断为现在完成时，主语the Dragon-Head-Raising Festival和celebrate是被动关系，应用现在完成时的被动语态。故填has been celebrated。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意同上。作动词show的宾语，应用admire的名词形式admiration，抽象名词不可数。故填admiration。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：最著名的传统是理发，这意味着摆脱厄运。句中已有谓语动词is且无连词，故mean应用非谓形式，它和逻辑主语getting s haircut之间是主动关系，应用现在分词。故填meaning。

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。
The familiar smell of garlic and onion filled the air as I opened my lunch bag to see what my mom had packed for me. On any other occasion, I would have been delighted to eat my mom’s pan-fried tofu: a Chinese dish that I often ate for dinner. But not today，the day a nice girl had invited me, the new girl at school, to sit with her friends during lunch.
“Charis, over here！”My new friend was waving her arms, trying to get my attention.
As I prepared to walk over to the table, memories of elementary and middle school lunch times resurfaced. I remembered my embarrassment as my friends would hold their noses when I brought homemade Chinese food. I remembered how my embarrassment shifted to anger when I complained about the smell to my mom.
I had argued with my mom that I wanted “normal” food for lunch. I remembered the look on my mom’s face, a mix between disappointment and confusion. But I was determined and she gave in. So for the remainder of middle school, my mom packed odorless(没有气味), non-Chinese food like ham and cheese sandwiches. However, that day, she was in a rush and packed me leftovers from dinner.
As soon as I got to my new lunch table, I tried to hide my lunch bag down under my seat. I sat quietly, trying not to be noticed when Katrina, a new acquaintance, asked where my food was. “I’m not really hungry,” I replied in an insecure voice. But Katrina had already seen me carry my lunch so she spoke out, “Then, I’ll eat it！” The other girls laughed-apparently Katrina was known to be a big eater.
I didn’t want to be rude to a potentially new friend, so I reluctantly dragged out my lunch bag. The moment I lifted the cover of my lunch container, I could practically taste the garlic and onion.
The girls, piqued(激起好奇心)by the smell in the air, all curiously looked at the oval-shaped container. I expected an “Ew” or a“What is that？”
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 had expected them to turn away-and turn me away before Katrina grabbed a small piece of tofu and enjoyed it.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I arrived home, my mom asked how my day went.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I had expected them to turn away — and turn me away before Katrina grabbed a small piece of tofu and enjoyed it. And I most certainly did not expect her to encourage the rest of the table to try my lunch. My new friends were going on about how lucky I was that my mom took the time to prepare a cooked meal for me. They were surprised by the fact that tofu could actually taste good. While I didn’t get to eat any of my mom’s pan-fried tofu, I was full of pride and gratitude.
When I arrived home, my mom asked how my day went. Answering with a simple “Good,” I pulled out my lunch container from my bag. “I’m sorry, but I didn’t have time to buy bread or ham yesterday.” But when she noticed that the container was empty, she hesitated before asking, “How was the food ” I paused a moment before I replied, “Perfect, mom. If it’s not too much trouble, can I still have pan-fried tofu for lunch tomorrow ”
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章以作者的午餐——煎豆腐为线索展开，讲述作者害怕自己的午餐像从前那样让新朋友Katrina觉得难闻，因此不敢在她面前打开饭盒，并谎称自己不太饿。Katrina提出她想吃作者的午餐，作者最终打开饭盒，里面的饭菜让Katrina和同学们好奇。
【详解】1.段落续写
①根据第一段首句内容“我本以为他们会转过身去——在Katrina抓起一小块豆腐享用它之前，他们会把我赶走”可知，下文可描述发生了作者意想不到的事情——同学们很喜欢煎豆腐。
②根据第二段首句内容“我到家时，妈妈问我一天过得怎么样”可知，下文可描述作者告诉妈妈新同学都喜欢煎豆腐，并要求妈妈再次做这道菜。
2.续写线索
猜想同学们会离开——同学们品尝煎豆腐——对煎豆腐称赞有加——妈妈询问学校生活——看到饭盒里的食物被吃完——告诉妈妈真相——请求妈妈再次做煎豆腐

第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)

A
Every delicious steak you have ever enjoyed eating started with a good cut of meat. However, picking that perfect cut can be challenging—supermarkets are flooded with options, and it is not as straightforward as simply choosing the one with the highest price tag. Follow this guide for some advice.
Tenderloin(US), Fillet(UK), Eye Fillet(AUS/NZ)
A classic cut, the tenderloin comes from the strip of muscle tucked against the backbone of the animal. As this muscle does not do much work, this is the tenderest cut of beef—which also makes it the most expensive, and arguably the most desirable. We say “arguably” because, while the tenderloin is supremely lean and a favorite of those who love their steak to melt in their mouth, it can also be tasteless. Filet mignon, widely referred to as the creme de la creme (精华) of all steak cuts, is cut from the very tip of the tenderloin.
Ribeye(US/ UK), Scotch fillet(AUS/NZ)
This cut, from the rib section of the animal, comes with an abundance of rich marbling. The ribeye won’t give you that same “melt-in-your-mouth” feeling, but it is still one of the tenderest cuts available. Differently, the ribeye is cooked with the bone in, while the Scotch fillet is not.
Strip(US), Sirloin(UK), Porterhouse(AUS/NZ)
Coming from the hindquarter of the animal, the strip is not quite as tender as the tenderloin, or loaded with quite as much flavor as the ribeye, but for many steak lovers, it is just right. The best part is that because this all-rounder has a bit more chew and a bit less marbling than those cuts, it tends to be less expensive.
T-bone
Can’t decide between the tenderloin and the strip Why not both The T-bone is cut with strip on one side of a bone, and tenderloin on the other. With two very different textures (口感) and flavors, the T-bone gets the best of both worlds, but it can also be more difficult to cook. The meat closer to the bone is slower to cook than the rest of the steak.
1. What makes the tenderloin the most expensive part among the steak
A. Different textures. B. Much flavor.
C. Rich marbling. D. The tenderest cut.
2. What can we learn about the steaks from the passage
A. It’s not a piece of cake to pick a perfect cut.
B. All things considered, Ribeye is the best.
C. A good cut only means the most expensive one.
D. It usually takes little time to cook T-bone.
3. Which of the following is not mentioned in the article concerning steak
A. Price. B. Packaging. C. Cooking method. D. Flavor.
B
The Lost City, Atlantis is a magnificent and ancient city lying beneath the waves of the sea. Does this sound like a fairy tale to you Many people have tried and failed to find it. Michael Hubner from Germany thought he had. Let us learn more about this fascinating city.
The Greek philosopher Plato, who lived in the 4th century BC, mentioned Atlantis in detail in his writings. He said that Atlantis was a city built on an island around 9,000 years before his time. Atlantis became a powerful nation that planned to conquer all other countries. However, it disappeared suddenly beneath the sea into the Atlantic Ocean because of earthquakes and floods. Plato gave 51 clues to its location. He described the city having an island at the center and being surrounded by rings of water and land. He also said how far the city was from Athens in Greece.
Many explorers had tried and failed to find Atlantis under the sea. They had been looking under the sea because of what Plato wrote about it. A German computer expert called Michael Huber came up with the theory that Atlantis was not at the bottom of the ocean. He thought that Atlantis had been destroyed by a tsunami wave. The strong force of the wave would have caused the end of the once great city.
Michael Hubner looked at all of Plato’s clues again. He used a computer program to enter all the information that Plato wrote about. The computer program would check on a map of the world for a place that matched all the clues. In this way Michael Hubner was able to find the place that Atlantis might have been. The computer program pointed to a place on the Moroccan coast in Africa, which was called the Souss-massa plain. Michael Hubner immediately boarded a plane to look for himself. When he got there, he was surprised to see many things that matched Plato’s description. There was a small mound in the centre of the plain and circular dry riverbeds. It was also very close to the distance that Plato had described.
We know that a tsunami can occur if there is an earthquake. The area of the Souss-Massa plain has had many earthquakes over years. Michael Hubner’s theory that a massive tsunami had flattened the city is not impossible. This would explain why it disappeared so suddenly.
Even though Michael Huber believed that he had found the site of Atlantis, many experts disagreed. Some scholars have suggested that Plato might have been writing about Crete and the neighbouring island of Santorini, which was badly destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 1600 BC. Others feel he made up the story and based it on old legends. Michael Hubner believed Plato. He used his time and energy to prove to himself that Atlantis existed and stood proudly along the Moroccan coast.

Imagine wearing high-tech body armor (盔甲) that makes you super strong and tireless. Such technology, more specifically called an exoskeleton, sounds like the preserve of the Iron Man series of superhero movies. Yet the equipment is increasingly being worn in real life around the world. And one manufacturer—California’s SuitX—expects it to go mainstream. “There is no doubt in my mind that these devices will eventually be sold at hardware stores,” says SuitX’s founder Homayoon Kazerooni.
In simple terms, an exoskeleton is an external device that supports, covers and protects its user, giving greater levels of strength and endurance. Sometimes also referred to as “wearable robots”, they can be battery-powered and computer-operated, incorporating motors and hydraulics. Or they can be more simple, passive designs that use springs and dampeners.
“Integrating humans and machines into one system opens up a new realm of opportunity,” says Adrian Spragg, an expert on the technology at management consultancy Accenture. “Many of the early applications have been focused on military and medical applications, but in the last several years there’s been an explosion of use in a range of cases.” This expansion, which has come together with rapid advances in the technology, has seen exoskeletons increasingly used by manufacturing workers. Versions for consumers are also now being developed to help people more easily do everything from DIY, to walking, climbing stairs, and other daily activities. One report says sales are now due to rocket as a result. Global exoskeleton revenues (收入) are expected to explode from $392 million in 2020 to $6.8 billion in 2030, according to a study by ABI Research.
SuitX’s “suits” are now being tested by car manufacturers General Motors and Fiat. Prof Kazerooni, who is also the director of the University of California’s Berkeley Robotics and Human Engineering Laboratory, says that the primary benefit of the firm’s exoskeletons is to prevent muscle fatigue (疲劳).
“In general I see this development as very positive for occupational health and safety,” Prof Sandra Wachter says. “Machines are supposed to help us with dull, dangerous and dirty jobs. Problems, however, arise if robotics also double as workplace monitors. Are these suits tracking your movements, how fast you move, and how often you take breaks Does a system compare this data with those of other workers to score or rank them What happens if you move slower than others, or take breaks more often ”
8. Why was the Iron Man was mentioned in Paragraph 1
A. To inspire us to be strong and determined.
B. To remind us of the popular film Iron Man.
C. To urge the readers to buy the newly designed products.
D. To illustrate the technology—exoskeleton.
9. What do the underlined word “rocket” mean in Paragraph 3
A. Climb. B. Crash. C. Stabilize. D. Vary.
10. What do you know about an exoskeleton
A. An exoskeleton is capable of working by itself using solar energy.
B. In the future, all the people will have to count on an exoskeleton.
C. An exoskeleton can be widely employed in our daily life.
D. Prof Kazerooni objects to the popularity of the exoskeleton.
11. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Iron Man Appeals to the Young B. Exoskeletons Change Our Future Life
C. Everyone Can Be a Hero D. Exoskeletons Replace Future Humans
D
Mozart was a genius, but he struggled like an average person during early twenties. He had to work to make ends meet. Underpaid and unsatisfied by his average performances, he felt a burning desire to devote more time and energy to his art. So after a period of doubt and thinking, that’s exactly what he did. He quit his job and began what turned out to be the most creative period of his life.
Even if you never hope to reach Mozart’s level of mastery, you may relate to his need to break free from convention. Maybe you’ve done everything right—stood out at school, and got a high-paying job—but you’re tired of being just like everyone else. Maybe you long to achieve something that is obviously you.
What, then, is holding you back Rich Karlgaard, the publisher of Forbes magazine and author of Late Bloomers, argues that our culture’s obsession with early achievement discourages us from going after what we love. Instead of having varied interests, studying widely, and taking our time—essentials for self-discovery—we’re encouraged to pass tests, become specialists right away, and pursue safe and secure careers. As a result, most of us end up choosing professional excellence over personal achievement, and often we lose ourselves in the process.
As you move forward, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, it’s never too late to become yourself. Aristotle, for example, didn’t fully devote himself to writing and philosophy until he was nearly 50. There are also benefits to taking a long, winding path to achievement. Remember that age usually brings wisdom, self-knowledge, and creativity. This is one reason the average age of founders of high-growth start-ups is 45.
If you ever get stuck, think of Joanne, a talented and creative woman who bounced from job to job throughout her twenties. She felt like a total failure. But she took that feeling of hopelessness and chose to do what she’d always wanted to do—write fantasy novels for children. As she would later recount, ”I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was.“
You’ve probably heard of her. Her pen name is J. K. Rowling.
Now get to work
12. What does the author want to show by telling Mozart’s story in Paragraph 1
A. Suffering makes a man wise.
B. Each of us has a special beauty.
C. It’s pretty tough for genius to seek a job.
D. A man should be brave to pursue his dream.
13. In Rich Karlgaard’s opinion, what prevents people from going after what they love
A. Desire for early achievement.
B. Too wide a range of interests.
C. A waste of time on self-discovery.
D Studying deeply in different fields.
14. What can we learn from the passage
A. All the geniuses have been total failures.
B. Age is no obstacle to going after dreams.
C. Every highly successful person hasn’t been applied to working.
D. Hopelessness discouraged people from chasing after their dreams.
15. What’s the main purpose of the passage
A. To emphasize the significance of showing talents.
B. To analyze the reasons for failure in previous jobs.
C. To share success stories of famous people in different fields.
D. To encourage people to become themselves whatever the age.

Weighing yourself regularly is a wonderful way to stay aware of any significant weight changes. ____16____
As for me, weighing myself every day caused me to shift my focus from being generally healthy and physically active, to focusing only on the scale. The original training program is beneficial for me to develop muscle. ____17____ However, thinking only of lowering the number on the scale, I changed my training program.
I found that weighing myself daily did not provide an accurate description of the hard work and progress I was making in the gym. It takes about three weeks to a month to notice significant changes in your weight due to changing your training program. The most immediate changes will be observed in skill level, strength and inches lost. ____18____ Instead, I switched to a bimonthly weighing schedule. Weighing every other month allows me to observe and account for any significant weight changes. ____19____ I use my bimonthly weigh-in results to get information about my nutrition as well. If my training intensity remains the same, but I’m constantly hungry and dropping weight, this is a sign that I need to increase my daily caloric intake.
____20____ I’m experiencing increased passion for working out since I no longer carry the burden of a disappointing morning weigh-in. I’ve also experienced greater success in achieving my specific fitness goals, because I’m training according to those goals, not the numbers on a scale.
Rather than obsessing over the scale, turn your focus to how you look, feel, how your clothes fit and your overall energy level.
A. That was bad to my overall fitness goals.
B. Muscles rely on more than just activity to grow.
C. I had gained weight in the form of muscle mass before.
D. For these reasons, I stopped weighing myself every day.
E. That tells me whether I need to adjust my training program.
F. The decision to stop weighing myself every day has done a lot of wonders.
G. However, when done too often, this habit can sometimes hurt more than it helps.

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。
The familiar smell of garlic and onion filled the air as I opened my lunch bag to see what my mom had packed for me. On any other occasion, I would have been delighted to eat my mom’s pan-fried tofu: a Chinese dish that I often ate for dinner. But not today，the day a nice girl had invited me, the new girl at school, to sit with her friends during lunch.
“Charis, over here！”My new friend was waving her arms, trying to get my attention.
As I prepared to walk over to the table, memories of elementary and middle school lunch times resurfaced. I remembered my embarrassment as my friends would hold their noses when I brought homemade Chinese food. I remembered how my embarrassment shifted to anger when I complained about the smell to my mom.
I had argued with my mom that I wanted “normal” food for lunch. I remembered the look on my mom’s face, a mix between disappointment and confusion. But I was determined and she gave in. So for the remainder of middle school, my mom packed odorless(没有气味), non-Chinese food like ham and cheese sandwiches. However, that day, she was in a rush and packed me leftovers from dinner.
As soon as I got to my new lunch table I tried to hide my lunch bag down under my seat. I sat quietly, trying not to be noticed when Katrina, a new acquaintance, asked where my food was. “I’m not really hungry,” I replied in an insecure voice. But Katrina had already seen me carry my lunch so she spoke out, “Then, I’ll eat it！” The other girls laughed-apparently Katrina was known to be a big eater.
I didn’t want to be rude to a potentially new friend, so I reluctantly dragged out my lunch bag. The moment I lifted the cover of my lunch container, I could practically taste the garlic and onion.
The girls, piqued(激起好奇心)by the smell in the air, all curiously looked at the oval-shaped container. I expected an “Ew” or a“What is that？”
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 had expected them to turn away-and turn me away before Katrina grabbed a small piece of tofu and enjoyed it.
