第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
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
The United Kingdom is a land of natural beauty and history, with many of its finest attractions discovered through hiking. Now, dust off your boots, plan according to the following routes presented by a survey of senior hikers and an incredible experience will await you.
Wales Coastal Path
Wales is the only country in the world that has an official walking path covering its whole borders. The Wales Coastal Path is a footpath stretching 870 miles from Chester to Chepstow. Walking the whole thing might be demanding, but there are plenty of stretches that can be enjoyed over a day or two.
Southwest Coast Path
You need a fair amount of annual leave, a casual 52 days or so, to undertake this in one go. The route runs from Somerset all the way to Dorset, via rugged cliffs（悬崖）, cute fishing villages and surfing spots along the coastline. You can surely jump on to any point as you like but you can’t afford to miss all the pubs full of jokes and laughter on the way!
Coast to Coast Walk
This long-distance trail isn’t official, but popular in the country, taking hikers from the Irish Sea to the North Sea as it rolls into historic Robin Hood’s Bay in Yorkshire. Following local footpaths, the route takes you through three UK National Parks: the Lakes, the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors.
Cleveland Way
You’ll want nine days to fully complete this hike, which explores both the North York Moors and the county’s world-famous coastline. Just make sure you allow enough time to properly enjoy spots like Roseberry Topping hill and pick up a gentle afternoon walk at Whitby’s clifftop church.
21. Who will be more interested in the routes
A. Explorers in the UK. B. Hiking lovers. C. Nature photographers. D. Field researchers.
22. What is highly recommended about Southwest Coast Path
A. Local pubs. B. Fishing villages. C. Surfing spots. D. National parks.
23. What do the four routes have in common
A. They are official and demanding. B. They run along the coastline.
C. They include cliffs worth visiting. D. They can be completed in a month.
B
From cottages surrounded by impressive gardens to days spent exploring sandy beaches and deep woods filled with wildlife, in My Family and Other Animals, English writer Gerald Durrell provided a vivid account of his family’s time on the Greek island of Corfu in the 1930s.
Come for the arresting descriptions of Corfu landscapes and stay for Durrell’s laugh-out-loud tales of his unusual family. This book, Durrell wrote humorously in the introduction, “was intended to be a nostalgic（怀旧的） account of natural history, but in the first few pages, I made the mistake of introducing my family.”
Durrell, later known for his zoo keeping and the preservation of wildlife, was just a child during his family’s five-year stay in Corfu. He is 10-year-old Gerry in the book — curious, passionate about animals and a detailed storyteller of his strange family: his imaginative elder brother Larry with his literary ambitions, lovestruck sister Margo, sport y brother Leslie and his ever-calm, loving mother.
Durrell’s attention to de tail is what makes the book so winning, with every sight, sound and smell of the island brought to life. One minute you’ll be laughing as Larry’s clever literary friends walk down to the daffodil-yellow cottage, the next you’ll be catching your breath as Durrell describes swimming at night in the Ionian Sea: “Lying on my back in the silky water, staring at the sky, only moving my hands and feet slightly, I was looking at the Milky Way stretching like a silk scarf across the sky and wondering how many stars it contained.”
My Family and Other Animals is quite difficult to classify, being one part travel, one part autobiography, one part natural history, and one part comedy, with a thread of descriptive language running throughout that sometimes raises it nearly to poetry.
As a real delight to read, it’s the perfect literary escapism for any adult or older teenager who is currently walking down a tough road in life.
24. Which word best describes Durrell’s life in Corfu
A. Diverse. B. Busy. C. Risky. D. Tough.
25. What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 2
A. I just introduced my family by mistake. B. I shouldn’t have introduced my family.
C. I gave false information about my family. D. I couldn’t help introducing my family.
26. What are paragraph 4 and 5 mainly about
A. Durrell’s rich imagination. B. Some interesting plots of the book.
C. The book’s writing feature. D. Some vivid descriptions of the island.
27. What is the purpose of this text
A. To share an experience. B. To introduce a writing style.
C. To recommend a book. D. To describe an unusual place.
C
Traditionally, profiting from forests often meant capitalizing on timber（木材）— choosing commercial timber. Yet increasingly, there is an understanding that it’s of greater significance to keep trees standing than cut them down for financial profit. Money is not everything. We have to recognize real and lasting value is from natural resources. But money is a fact of life.
Good news is that we can expect entire natural woodland is left undamaged and still provides a revenue （收益） stream. Leaving woodland complete does not necessarily mean that we do not touch it at all. Conservation work may involve building back biodiversity or the removal of foreign plant species.
A healthy woodland system can provide a range of yields （产物）. Besides eatable yields — top fruit, berries, and food crops, it produces substances for chemical use. The non-timber forest products provided by natural ecosystems vary significantly depending on where they are. But there are always more ways to explore to acquire revenue.
A project in the UK, for example, shows woodland itself is also a draw for visitors. It engages a community who creates a sustainable area of woodland. The community largely obtains revenue by opening up parts of the natural woodland to the public with an adventure playground and outdoor recreational activities on the site. It also offers courses on nest building, special wildlife events and more. The project is thought to have great uniqueness. It centers round the existing natural land; the yields that woodland provides become byproducts.
Recreational activities, tours, and classes are just the commencement. A rich and bio-diverse woodland can be an ecosystem that draws in more people looking for a beautiful place to stay. Woodland has great value in ecological and social terms. And when you nurse it, it could also add to the income from your land.
28. What do people increasingly think about forest conservation
A. It means making full use of timber. B. It outweighs financial benefit.
C. It is extremely difficult to carry out. D. It is all about rebuilding biodiversity.
29. Why is the project considered unique
A. It provides lots of recreational activities. B. It highlights educational experiences.
C. It makes woodland itself the main product. D. It focuses on nursing the natural land.
30. What does the underlined word “commencement” mean in the last paragraph
A. Intention. B. Beginning. C. Wish. D. Exception.
31. Which is the text mainly about
A. Forest conservation has been a top priority. B. A project helps create sustainable woodland.
C. Non-timber products help gain more benefit. D. Woodland brings profit while staying complete.
D
Israeli company Watergen has produced a device that generates clean, drinkable water out of air. The device called GENNY is small enough to be used in a home or office but can generate up to 30 liters of water a day. The water that GENNY produces is not only clean enough to drink, it’s also often cleaner than tap water.
GENNY takes air in and passes it through a filter（过滤器） to remove dust and dirt. The filter is powerful enough to work even in areas with high air pollution. The air then passes through a chamber where heating and cooling cause water vapor in the air to condense（凝结）. This water is then passed through several more filters and minerals are added to make it taste better. Finally, the water is stored in a tank where it is continually circulated to keep it fresh. A larger model, called the GEN-350, can produce up to 900 liters of water per day. The GEN-350 is now being used in hospitals that previously did not have a reliable source of fresh, clean water. Watergen has also developed an emergency response vehicle （ERV） that can carry a GEN-350 unit wherever it is needed. In addition to the GEN-350, the ERV carries a portable generator that supplies electricity for the GEN-350.
Watergen’s ERV is designed to bring water to people suffering from the effects of a serious earthquake, fire, flood or other situations. Once such an incident occurred in California in 2018. A fire started at a camp site and spread quickly over a wide area destroying many thousands of acres of trees and many homes. One of Watergen’s ERVs was driven there and it provided water for its citizens and rescue workers. Besides, they also provided clean safe water for the residents of Texas and Florida in the aftermath of the destruction caused by hurricane Harvey and Irma.
32. What can we know about Watergen’s devices
A. They’re available in different sizes. B. They’re made in numerous countries.
C. They’re extremely hard to operate. D. They’re powerless in polluted areas.
33. The GENNY adds minerals to .
A. keep the water fresh and clean B. remove dust from the water
C. improve the flavor of the water D. meet the water safety criteria
34. What can Waterge n do using its ERV
A. Help rebuild the destroyed homes. B. Outperform its competitors.
C. Supply electricity to local people. D. Respond to natural disasters.
35. What would be the best title for the text
A. GENNY: Water Generator via Filters B. GENNY: Water Production from Air
C. GEN-350: Water Source for Hospitals D. GEN-350: Water Supplier to the Needy

Over the last few years, there has been a trend to focus on gratitude. We can buy different kinds of gratitude journals, or download some apps to write down our blessings. 36 “We should also bear in mind that gratitude is free.” says Laurie Santos, who teaches a course on the science of well-being and happiness at Yale University.
37 Studies have found that keeping a gratitude journal can decrease materialism and enhance generosity among adolescents. Giving thanks can help people sleep better, lower stress and improve interpersonal relationships. 38 “It is one practice that really wins out from the field of positive psychology.” she says. Her students, in addition to keeping gratitude journals, are asked to write a thank-you letter and then read it out loud to the recipient（收信人）. “They show measurable improvements in well-being even a month after they’ve done this.” she says.
What works for some people may not work for others. There’s a lack of research on how gratitude exercises help people with anxiety or clinical depression. Indeed, for all the research on the broad benefits of expressing gratitude, it is not for everyone. 39 It can’t make injustice, loss or pain disappear.
During really tough times, like when she suffers from poor health, Santos feels like she is reaching for reasons to be grateful. But she still tries to find some. “I’m grateful for the sun that’s shining or being able to wake up,” she says. 40
A. That is, it’s not a cure-all.
B. So it does not feel pleasant.
C. Gratitude allows her to remember what is going well.
D. Those products just remind us to take time to be grateful.
E. Noting down gratitude and expressing it seem to pay off.
F. Practicing too much gratitude may have undesired effects.
G. That’s why gratitude features heavily in Santos’ happiness class.

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。
My great-grandmother Eileen is fierce, loyal and strong and a bit of a legend in her lifetime, which now stretches to 92 years. We’re not allowed to call her Gran, because it makes her feel old.
That summer, I lost my job and felt hopeless. One day, I visited her. She picked up a box. “There you go,” she said. “You are good at these things, aren’t you ” It was a new phone. Her current mobile was ancient. I was surprised it still worked.
“Yes, ”I said. “That’s why I ask you. Young people know more about such things than us oldies. You can take it home and get it all set up,” she went on. “Then, when you bring it back, you can show me how to use it, such as surfing the Internet, sending e-mails and so on.” She smiled so sweetly that I felt a surge of love for her.
I grabbed the box. Setting up the phone would be easy. It was teaching her how to use it that may prove challenging. The following day I headed back to my great-grandmother’s with the phone.
“Here’s your phone. All ready to use.” For the next hour, I was busy setting up her passcode and fingerprint recognition, which she said was like something out of James Bond.
She chose a picture for her screen and it was all going so well until I tried to show her how to swipe（滑动屏幕）. “Swipe ” she asked. She was 92, I reminded myself. This had been tiring for her.
She pressed at the up arrow and got angry when nothing happened. When I finally got her to swipe, she didn’t put the right amount of pressure on and the menu slipped away. After what seemed like hours, she threw the phone on the sofa. “Take it away!” she howled. “I want my old phone back!”
I picked up the phone and was about to leave to give her time to cool down when I realized I didn’t want to go home when she was angry and upset.
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。
“Come on, Eileen. One more try.” I said. Seeing this, I was not feeling hopeless any more.

Dear Jim,
Glad to know that you are interested in our school’s online course on Chinese folk music, I’m writing with pleasure to give you a detailed introduction to it, which I hope may help.
The online course offers a series of classes from July 10 to July 25. It just provides a platform where you can not only learn some basic knowledge of Chinese folk music, but also be immersed in the charm of the beautiful melody（旋律）. Our teachers are quite experienced in this field. Additionally, they are so willing to help that you can consult them about whatever is related to it via the Internet. The fee is 2, 000 yuan. Is it suitable for you
Should it be convenient, you could fill in the application form and sendane-mailtofolkmusic@. If possible, you can download and watch the teaching videos in advance. Wish you a pleasant learning experience!
（1） 你刚观看了你校与英国一所友好学校联合在线上举办的音乐会。请在线上留言板上写一则评论，内容包括：1．音乐会特点；2．观看感受；3.意见建议。
This online concer t is absolutely fantastic. The performers from the two schools have done their best in entertaining the audience with one song after another. Their performances are undoubtedly of high quality, which makes the concert almost no different from a live one.
I enjoyed every second of the concert and was particularly attracted when the boys and girls from Britain started to sing the traditional Chinese song “Liang Zhu”. They performed the song in a way that touched my heart and gave me a feeling of connection.
I hope there will be more opportunities in the future for the students from China and our international friends to learn about and from each other.
（应用文：online concert）
1. The online concert is a perfect combination of 3D technology and classic music.
（... build a bridge connecting the British music with us and promote the integration of different cultures/
... mix Chinese folk music with British chorus（合唱） harmoniously/ ... bring a visual feast）
2. The music in the concert is like a current of spring, streaming into my heart and tugging at my heart-string.
3. So lively（热烈地） was the atmosphere that it really appealed to me/ excited me.
4. Immersed in the music, some of the people couldn’t help swaying（摇摆） in their chairs to the beat of the music and others tapped their toes.
（2）假定你是李华，你校正在举办英语短文竞赛。请你以“Music and Me”为题，写一篇短文投稿，内容包括：1、音乐对你的重要性；2、你喜欢的音乐类型及原因。
Music and Me
It is said that music is the soul of a person. I can’t agree more on the view. I love not only listening to music, but also singing songs. Music plays an important part in my life.
Music is my faithful friend. Whether I’m cheerful or gloomy, music can know about my mood and accompany me. Among so many types of music, I like pop music most. It makes me happy when I feel upset and helps me face all the challenges with a peaceful mind. Apart from this, with beautiful melodies and powerful lyrics, some pop songs are classical. For example, the lyrics of Let it Go encourage me a lot. With the College Entrance Examination approaching, what is sung in the song offers me energy when I am busy studying or get stuck in difficulties.
I always think music is the most beautiful language in the world. Music to me is what air to life.
（3）假定你是李华，你的英国朋友Peter要参加“留学生中文歌曲大赛”，请你推荐一首适合的中文歌曲。
Dear Peter,
I feel more than delighted to know that you are going to participate in Chinese Singing Contest for Overseas students.
For the song to choose, I highly recommend Moli Hua, Jasmine Flower, which is representative（代表性的） of Chinese folk music（民乐）.
As the song enjoys wide popularity, there’s no doubt that it will draw the audience’s attention. Additionally, it has beautiful melody（旋律） and simple lyrics（歌词）, which are relatively easy for you to learn in a short time. More importantly, the smooth tunes（曲调） will make your learning process pleasant. I bet you are bound to stand out among all the competitors.
I sincerely hope my recommendation can be helpful and wish you a wonderful performance.
（4）（美育:音乐表演） As I sat down on the bench, I pressed a key（琴键） on the piano and was surprised tohear no sound. Feeling as if the whole world was watching me, I was struck dead with embarrassment. How could I perform the song without the piano I was on pins and needles when Phyllis slowly made her way to the front of the crowd of dinners and announced in a comforting tone, “This girl has come to sing for us but the piano seems to be a little nervous. ”Almost immediately, there was scattered（散） applause and several people stepped forward to help me plug （插电） in the piano and set the microphone. With everything in place, I took a deep breath and began my performance.
Nervousness melted away and I started to enjoy the performance with the old. One woman got up and began to enthusiastically dance about the room. Some of the people swayed（摇摆） in their chairs to the be at of the music while others tapped their toes. The performance ended up with a storm of applause from the crowd. I realized that it was far better than a piano recital（演奏会） because almost everyone seemed to truly appreciate my music and I’m proud that I have the power to spread kindness to them. Although the recital was canceled, it ended up being a blessing, leading to me sharing the gift of music with those who needed it most.
第二节：
Possible Version 1
Paragraph 1
“Come on, Eileen. One more try.” I said. “No,” Eileen insisted, “I just want my old phone back!”, heading to retrieve （拿回） her repaired device. Gathering my patience, I stepped forward, hugged my Gran and gently explained that the old phone, just like an antique, was incapable of providing internet access or sending emails. “Please let go off the old one, and embrace the brand-new world.” I encouraged her. Empowered by my words, she mustered the courage to give it one more shot. Smoothly and magically, through the fingerprint recognition, this time, she swiped with the right amount of pressure and located the email app on the menu.
Paragraph 2
Seeing this, I was not feeling hopeless any more. More surprisingly, a newly received e-mail blew me away, it reading “Please let go off the old job, just embrace another new opportunity.” The knowing（会意的）chuckle from my wise grandmother confirmed what I already knew deep down. The familiar yet powerful words lifted the weight from my shoulders, motivating me to seek out a better career. How wise and strong my Gran was! The words kept echoing in my mind ever since. Even now, I am constantly reminded of the transformative experience, where I got the lesson— Out with the old, in with the new!
Possible Version 2
Paragraph 1
“Come on, Eileen. One more try.” I said. “You have been making progress, and I have distilled（提炼）some skills from the former experience.” I added, in an attempt to calm her anger. Such praise seemed always to stimulate people to further efforts. Although still frowning, grandma wasn’t resistant to trying again. This time, I held her finger, with them poised（稳定） above the screen, and began to swipe. Despite some glitches（差错）, gradually, she achieved mastery — thrilled to send selfies（自拍） to her friends and even comment on videos on Tik Tok. “Thank you so much my dear. You have done a superb job!” she praised me, with gratitude and ecstasy（狂喜）.
Paragraph 2
Seeing this, I was not feeling hopeless any more. Her little higher pitch（音调） and excitement inspired me. Through the whole process of teaching, it struck me that if we were in a bind （身处困境）, a show of temper did no good. Instead, effort is the best antidote （解药） to sorrow.
