更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂What would you do if you could see into the future?And more importantly,what would you do if you
weren’t happy with what you saw?These are the questions explored in Disney’s new
movie,Tomorrowland.
Tomorrowland tells the story of a wide-eyed dreamer named Casey as she follows her curiosity down
a path of adventure and danger.When a strange sign shows an alternate(交替的) reality,Casey begins a
magical journey into another world.As she struggles to make sense of this new world,Casey meets a
scientist named Frank.Together they carry out a task to uncover the mysteries of a land that exists between
time and space:Tomorrowland.
According to Britt Robertson,the entire movie has been filled with secrecy.In fact,she had to
audition(试镜) many times for the part of Casey before she was even allowed to read the script(剧本).
Robertson says that being a part of Tomorrowland has given her a more positive outlook on the future.“I
always think about going green and trying to help the world with things I can do,” she told TFK.“I think
the greatest things we can do to help are simple things.The small stuff counts.”
Robertson auditioned for it for a very long time before she even read the script.Once she read the
script,she just loved how full the story was.She was satisfied by it.She felt happy,like she had just been on
an adventurous ride.She was also sad,joyful,and hopeful.She felt a mix of emotions after reading the script
and it really got her thinking and it made her want to be a more positive person.She was very happy when
she found out she got the role.It felt like all her hard work paid off.

The world’s insects are going down the path of extinction,threatening a “catastrophic collapse of
nature’s ecosystems”,according to the first global scientific review.More than 40%of insect species are
declining and a third are endangered,the analysis found.The rate of extinction is eight times faster than that
of mammals,birds and reptiles.
“It should be of huge concern to all of us,for insects are at the heart of every food web.They
pollinate(授粉) the large majority of plant species,keep the soil healthy,recycle nutrients,control pests,and
much more.Love them or loathe them,we humans cannot survive without insects,”said Prof Dave Goulson
at the University of Sussex in the UK.
The analysis,published in the journal Biological Conservation,says intensive(集约型)agriculture is
the main driver of the declines,particularly the heavy use of pesticides.Urbanisation and climate change are
also significant factors.
“If insect species losses cannot be stopped,this will have catastrophic consequences for both the
planet’s ecosystems and for the survival of mankind.It is very rapid.In 10 years you will have a quarter
less,in 50 years only half left and in 100 years you will have none,” said review author Francisco Sánchez-
Bayo,at the University of Sydney,Australia.
One of the biggest impacts of insect loss is on many birds,reptiles,amphibians and fish that eat
insects.“If this food source is taken away,all these animals starve to death,” he said.Such effects have
already been seen in Puerto Rico,where a recent study revealed a 98% fall in ground insects over 35 years.
Matt Shardlow,at the conservation charity Buglife,said:“It is thoughtful to see this evidence that
shows the pitiful state of the world’s insect populations.It is increasingly obvious that the planet’s ecology
is breaking and there is a need for a strong and global effort to prevent and change these terrible trends.”
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是,昆虫数量的减少对自然生态系统的危害。
28.Why are people worried about the insect decline?
A.They are vital to ecosystems.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂B.They provide food for pests.
C.They pollinate all plants.
D.They enrich the soil.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第一段中“The world’s insects are going down the path of extinction,threatening
a ‘catastrophic collapse of nature’s ecosystems’”可知,人们之所以担心昆虫数量的减少,是因为它们对
生态系统至关重要。
29.What is the main cause of insect losses?
A.More and more trees.
B.Restrictions on pesticides.
C.Upgrading agriculture.
D.Friendly environment.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第三段中“The analysis,published in the journal Biological Conservation,says
intensive agriculture is the main driver of the declines,particularly the heavy use of pesticides.”可知,发表
在《生物保护》杂志上的分析说集约农业是昆虫下降的主要驱动力,尤其是大量使用农药。
30.Where can you find the exact time of insect losses?
A.In Paragraph 1.
B.In Paragraph 2.
C.In Paragraph 3.
D.In Paragraph 4.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第四段中“In 10 years you will have a quarter less,in 50 years only half left and
in 100 years you will have none”可知,在第四段中可以找到昆虫损失的确切时间。
31.What can be a suitable title for the text?
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂A.Humans can survive the punishment of nature.
B.Insect declining is breaking nature’s ecosystems.
C.Nature’s ecosystems are influenced by humans.
D.Insects and animals are dying out in Puerto Rico.
答案B
解析主旨大意题。最后一段中提到“看到这些显示世界昆虫种群的可怜状态的证据是发人深思的。
越来越明显的是,地球的生态正受到破坏,为了预防和改变这些可怕的趋势,需要一个强大和全球的努
力”。由此推知,本文最佳主题是“Insect declining is breaking nature’s ecosystems(昆虫数量的减少正
在破坏自然生态系统)”。
D
Studies have shown most people fail to realize how much time they spend on their smart phones each
day.
Frank and Amelia’s family were put to a test,using a free app called “Moment-screen Time
Tracker”.The Vascellaros—Frank,Amelia,14-year-old twins Frankie and Joe,and 17-year-old Sam—all
said they did not really know they were spending so much time on their phones each day.
“Honestly,I don’t feel like I’m on my phone a lot,” Amelia Vascellaro said.Amelia was on her phone
far less often than Frank,according to the app.While Amelia spent about an hour per day on the
phone,Frank spent close to four hours on his phone—which came as a shock to him.The children’s times
varied but they often spent more than a couple of hours on the phone as well.
Minneapolis-based Dr Kirsten Lind Seal sees phone usage come up a lot among families.Lind Seal
said many family members’ phone use has become problematic.
“If we hear more than once,‘Do you have to be on your phone right now?Can you please put your
phone down?Did you hear what I said?’ it may be a sign that it is negatively influencing our family
relationships and our daily lives,” she said.
Lind Seal said actually paying attention to how much time one spends on the phone is a good first
step in deciding when to put it down.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂She asks parents to encourage more face-to-face communication for teens and young adults as they
continue developing their social and emotional skills.“What we find is that we are really losing out on
empathy—the ability to understand other people’s feelings and problems——when we spend a lot of time
on our smart phones to communicate with other people,”she said.
【语篇解读】本文是议论文。通过使用一款应用软件跟踪发现,很多人没有意识到自己每天花
费很多时间使用手机。文章建议人们放下手机,应该进行更多的面对面的交流。
32.How did the families tested by the app feel about the test results?
A.Satisfied. B.Doubtful.
C.Uninterested. D.Astonished.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第二段中“all said they did not really know they were spending so much time on
their phones each day.”可知,Vascellaro一家对这个测试结果感到惊讶,他们没有想到自己每天花费那
么多的时间使用手机。
33.Why did Lind Seal mention the three questions in Para 5?
A.To encourage people to live a simple life.
B.To explain the signs of problematic phone use.
C.To show the importance of close relationships.
D.To ask people if they use phones too much.
答案B
解析推理判断题。由第四段中“Lind Seal said many family members’ phone use has become
problematic.”可知,Lind Seal提出这三个问题是为了说明我们过多使用手机。
34.What did Lind Seal want to convey in the last paragraph?
A.We should make more face-to-face communication.
B.We can understand each other better using smartphones.
C.Our ability of empathy is strengthened by smartphones.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂D.Smartphone usage improves the teens’ emotional skills.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据最后一段中“She asks parents to encourage more face-to-face communication
for teens and young adults as they continue developing their social and emotional skills.”和引述的话可知,
我们应该多进行面对面的交流。
35.Where is this text most likely from?
A.A diary.
B.A guidebook.
C.A novel.
D.A magazine.
答案D
解析推理判断题。通读全文,本文从一项研究入手,讲述人们对手机的依赖,最后建议人们应该进行更
多的面对面的交流,故此篇文章最有可能来自杂志。

Futurologists are making a lot of predictions about our future life. 3 6 By 2048,some futurologists
foresee that some “talking” buildings will appear in our life.
By the middle of the century,it’s believed that buildings will be able to “talk” to people through
various sensors when the heating needs to be turned on. 3 7 Instead,a lot of networks will appear,which
can be compared to a human nervous system.In the next 30 years,buildings will be made from concrete
plastics and shape-changing materials.All of them can heal themselves at that time. 3 8 there will be a
need for new kinds of elevators,through which vehicles could even travel into the buildings.German
engineers have already started working on such technology called Multi.
By mid-century,scientists believe that buildings will be miles tall.Some of them may be very large
and they can function as small cities.By comparison,at present,the world’s tallest building,the Burj Khalifa
in Dubai,measures 829.8 metres high. 3 9 their windows will be replaced by virtual screens.In this
way,people can choose any view as they like.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂At height extremes,a London Spaceport is also likely to come into being by 2048 as the space
industry develops very quickly.There is a huge cost advantage going to space from as high a base as
possible. 4 0
A.As cities are being very crowded,
B.As a result,there will be no switches.
C.As the future building can rise through the clouds,
D.As architects are racing to develop the world’s tallest buildings,
E.They are predicting how we will travel,work and live in the next 30 years.
F.Therefore,a spaceport is very likely to be over 10km,using carbon-based materials.
G.What is more likely,though,is that planes will become smarter and may even become autonomous.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】未来学家们正在对我们的未来生活做很多预测,他们预测未来30年我们将如何旅
行、工作和生活。
36.E 根据上文提到的“未来学家们正在对我们的未来生活做很多预测”可知,E项“他们预测未来
30年我们将如何旅行、工作和生活”可承接上文。
37.B 根据上文的“will be able to ‘talk’ to people...when the heating needs to be turned on”可知,B项是
上文的结果。
38.D 根据下文的“there will be a need for new kinds of elevators...”可知,D项可作为过渡,引出下文。
39.C 根据下文的“their windows”可知,上文应该提到高楼,所以选C项。D项虽提到“the world’s
tallest buildings”,但是和下文无法衔接。
40.F 本段提到“a London Spaceport”,F项和上文构成因果关系,而且Spaceport为同词复现。

Dear Steven,
I’m glad that you’re interested in what is happening in China .I’m writing to tell you something about
the rubbish classification in my community.
Rubbish classification not only reduces unnecessary environmental pollution,but also promotes the
construction of an environmentally friendly community.But things in my community are not
optimistic.Although dustbins have been labeled recyclable and non-recyclable,many people throw waste
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂without classifying them properly,which results in great pollution and adds to the burden of workers.I think
waste classification permits of no delay.The government should make the importance of waste
classification known to the public and make laws to ban littering,while for individual,we should strengthen
our awareness of environmental protection.After all,it’s every bit of effort that counts.
What about the rubbish sorting in your country?I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词
数应为150左右。
When I was ten years old,I lived with my family in a small house in rural South Jersey.I often
accompanied my mother to the A&P to buy groceries.Without a car,we walked,and I would help her carry
the bags.
My mother had to shop everything carefully,as she was a waitress,and her salary barely sustained(勉
强维持) us.One day,while she was weighing prices,a promotional display for the World Book
Encyclopedia caught my eye.The volumes were beautifully cream-coloured.VolumeⅠ was ninety-nine
cents with a ten-dollar purchase.
All I could think of while shopping was the book.I stood at the register with my mother,holding my
breath as the cashier rang up the items.It came to over eleven dollars.My mother produced a five,some
singles,and a handful of change.As she was counting out the money,I somehow found the courage to ask
for the encyclopedia(百科全书).“Could we get one?”I said,showing her the display.“It’s only ninety-nine
cents.”
I did not understand my mother’s increasing anxiety; she did not have enough change and had to
sacrifice a large can of peas to pay the amount,“Not now,Patricia,” she said sternly(严厉地).“Today is not
a good day.”I packed the groceries and followed her home,upset.
The next Saturday,my mother gave me a dollar and sent me to the A&P alone.Two quarts of milk and
a loaf of bread—that’s what a dollar in 1957.I went straight to the World Book display.There was only one
first volume left,which I placed in my cart(购物车).I didn’t need a cart,but took one so I could read as I
went up and down the aisles.A lot of time went by and I knew I had to leave,but I couldn’t bear to part
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂with the book.With no detective in sight,I,impulsively(冲动地),put it inside my shirt and zipped up my
jacket.I was a tall,skinny kid,and I am certain the shape of the book was obvious.
Paragraph 1:
My heart beating rapidly,I headed for the register.
Paragraph 2:
Back home,I told my mother what I had promised the detective.

Paragraph 1:
My heart beating rapidly,I headed for the register.I paid the dollar for the three items and was about
to leave when I felt a heavy tap on my shoulder.It was a big detective.“You stole something.You will be
searched,” he announced.Horrified,I slid the book out from inside the shirt and handed it over.“An
encyclopedia?” he asked,somewhat surprised.“Yes,” I whispered,trembling.“Why didn’t you ask your
parents to purchase it?” “I did,but they didn’t have the money.” With a sigh,he made me promise to tell my
parents about my wrongdoing and then let me leave.
Paragraph 2:
Back home,I told my mother what I had promised the detective.Unexpectedly,she didn’t explode as
usual.She fell silent,looking extremely anxious.Consumed with guilt,I gathered my courage,apologized and
promised that it would never ever happen again.“All will be OK!” said my mother,wrapping me in her
arms.Then she told me that she would go to the A&P to tell the detective I had admitted and that I should
play outside.Hours later,when I was back home,I noticed a bag with my name on it.I opened it and packed
inside was the World Book Encyclopedia,Volume Ⅰ.
