20-year-old Colen Nulgit and his girlfriend, Shantelle Johnson, had gone out for a daytime fishing trip at Keep River National Park in Australia last week when their car became stuck in some mud (淤泥). When they were unable to free the car from the mud, they began to worry. The park’s waterways are usually full of crocodiles (鳄鱼), and the couple had already seen plenty of crocodile tracks running through the mud. Not only that, they had only brought a few bottles of water and little food for the trip.
Nulgit and Johnson tried to fall asleep in their car—but as the sun set and the nearby water levels began to rise, they feared that the high water would bring the crocodiles closer to their car. The young couple then moved towards dry land and hoped for rescue. They even used a piece of wood to write the word “HELP” into the mud along with a line pointing towards their car.
Thankfully, the couple had told Nulgit’s parents where they were going and when they expected to be home before they left. So when they failed to return the very same night, his worried mother called the police. Rescuers began searching the area by airplane the next morning. Upon hearing the sound of the plane, the couple started a fire so the rescuers would see the smoke. As the plane drew closer to the smoke, the rescuers successfully located the couple after they caught sight of the “HELP” sign pointing towards the car.
Nulgit and Johnson were very thankful for the rescue. They now plan on putting together a set of emergency survival tools for the car.
24. Why did the young couple move to dry land
A. Because their car became stuck in some mud.
B. Because they wanted to fall asleep in their car that night.
C. Because they were afraid the crocodiles would come to their car.
D. Because they only brought a few bottles of water and little food.
25. What did Nulgit and Johnson do to save themselves
A. They wrote a sign for help. B. They went fishing for food.

The Nobel economics prize was awarded on Monday to Harvard University professor Claudia Goldin for research that has advanced the understanding of the gender (性别) gap in the labor market.
The announcement went a tiny step to closing the Nobel committee’s own gender gap: Goldin is just the third woman to win the prize out of 93 economics laureates (获奖者). She has studied 200 years of women’s participation in the workplace, showing that despite continued economic growth, women’s pay did not continuously catch up to men’s and a divide still exists despite women gaining higher levels of education than men. “I’ve always been an optimist. But when I looked at the numbers, I found in the 1990s, our labor force participation rate for women was the highest in the world, and now it isn’t the highest in the world,” Goldin told The Associated Press.
“Although Goldin’s research does not offer solutions, it allows policymakers to deal with the problem,” said Randi Hjalmarsson, a member of the Nobel committee. “She explains the source of the gap, and how it’s changed over time and how it changes with the stage of development. By finally understanding the problem and calling it by the right name, we will find a solution.”
Goldin, 77, told AP that what happens in people’s homes reflects what happens in the workplace. Women often have to take jobs that allow them to be on call at home—work that often pays less.
“Goldin tried to fill in missing data for her research,” Hjalmarsson said. For parts of history, systematic labor market records did not exist, and, if they did, information about women was missing. “So Goldin had to be a detective to find novel data sources and creative ways to use them to measure these unknowns.”
28. What can we infer from the second paragraph
A. Men gained higher levels of education than women.
B. The women’s pay caught up to men’s 200 hundreds years ago.
C. Many women scientists have won the Nobel economics prize these years.
D. At the late 20th century, American women labor force participation rate was the top.
29. Which of the following is right
A. Randi Hjalmarsson didn’t agree with Goldin.
B. Most of the women usually prefer to be housewives.
C. What happens in family life often mirrors that in the workplace.
D. Goldin’s research offered the policymakers solutions to the problem.
30. Which is a challenge that Claudia Goldin faced in her research
A. Lack of experience. B. Lack of support.
C. Lack of money. D. Lack of data.
31. What’s the best title of the passage
A. A Solution to the Gender Gap in the Labor Market
B. Claudia Goldin—a Great Economics Data Detective
C. The Third Woman Who Wins the Nobel Prize in the World
D. Nobel Economics Prize Goes to Harvard University Woman Professor
D
Playing tennis might add years to your life, according to a new study of Danish men and women. The study found that adults who frequently participate in tennis or other racket (球拍) and team sports lived longer than people who were spending a lot of time sitting down. They also lived longer than people who took part in activities such as jogging, swimming and cycling. The results raise interesting questions about the role that social interactions might play in enlarging the benefits of exercise.
No one doubts that being physically active improves our health and can extend our longevity (寿命). But whether some activities might be better than others remains in argument. One widely publicized 2017 study of more than 80,000 British men and women found that those who played racket sports like tennis tended to outlive those who jogged.
The researchers widened their inquiry and looked at a variety of sports and their associations with life. To start, they turned to the same data resource they had used for the jogging study, the Copenhagen City Heart Study. The study’s participants had all completed health exams and lengthy questionnaires about their lifestyles and whether and how often they took part in some sports common in Denmark, including cycling, swimming, running, tennis, soccer and, perhaps unexpectedly, badminton.
According to the data, cycling added an average of 3.7 years to riders’ lives, compared to sedentary Danes. Running added 3.2 years while tennis 9.7 years. These associations remained unchanged even when the researchers controlled for people’s education, socioeconomic status and age.
“Why and how some sports might add more years to people’s lives than others is impossible to know from this kind of observational study,” says Dr. James O’Keefe, a study co-author. “But we know that social support probably has unique effects on helping people get more benefits from the exercise.”
For now, people who run or ride alone might consider finding a group or partner to work out together. “Raising your heart rate is important for health, he says.” But it looks like connecting with other people is, too.
32. According to the passage, which activity may help people live longer
A. Cycling. B. Running marathon.
C. Swimming. D. Playing badminton.
33. What does the underlined word “sedentary” in the fourth paragraph mean
A. Inactive. B. Outgoing. C. Depressed. D. Easygoing.
34. Which may Dr. James O’Keefe recommend according to the last paragraph
A. Exercising alone. B. Working out together.
C. Working out regularly. D. Raising one’s heart rate.
35. It is suggested in the passage that ________.
A. women who prefer team sports live longer than men
B. people’s education and socioeconomic status affect their longevity
C. the reason why some sports might add more years to people’s lives is still unknown
D. 80,000 Danish men and women participated in the survey
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The act of spending time in the forest is called shinrin-yoku, meaning bathing in the forest atmosphere. It is not exercise or hiking or jogging. It is being in nature and connecting with nature. 36 It can improve your immune (免疫) system, lower blood pressure and help with depression. Follow the tips below to experience forest bathing.
1. Find a place where you’re surrounded by trees.
The ideal place to have a forest bath is in the forest. But if you live far away from one or don’t have the means to get there, any place that has a lot of trees and quiet spaces will do. You can even get beneficial effects from a city park. 37
2. Set aside a large amount of time.
To get the final rewards of shinrin-yoku, plan to spend two to six hours in the woods. 38 If you can’t set aside a good part of your day to wander through the forest, you can also do shorter walks. Anyway, the longer the time in the forest, the better.
3. 39
The difference between normal activities and forest bathing is that we’re going to move very slowly. Forest bathing is about calming down your nervous system and reducing your heart rate and blood pressure. If you work too hard physically, your tiredness will reduce the effect of forest bathing.
Quite often, when we are bathed in the forest, it sends something back to help us make sense of what’s going on in our life. 40 You may be surprised by what you discover.
A. Aim to reduce heart rate.
B. Enjoy sweating in forest bathing.
C. Forest bathing for about that amount of time helps improve immunity.
D. But the health benefits will not be great if you don’t stay there longer.
E. Now, find a spot in the forest or the park and breathe in the smell of nature.
F. Not only is forest bathing a way to explore nature, it’s also good for your health.
G. However, the health benefits won’t be as obvious as walking in the deep woods.

I was overjoyed. Final cuts (裁员) for the school basketball team were over and I was still around. I had a false sense of safety when I went to practice on Monday. When my teammates and I were doing our stretches (伸展运动) as usual, my coach asked me to one side and then told me the last thing I wanted to hear, “Steve, I’ve been thinking about it. There seemed not much progress in your skills, so I’m afraid we aren’t going to need you any more. You can finish out today’s practice if you want.”
The whole team had stopped practice and they were staring at me as if they could see through the seemingly brave boy whose heart was actually broken. “That’s okay. Coach,” I said and walked out of the gym into the locker room (更衣室).
Alone in the empty locker room, I stood and stared at my locker. Memories of the past training came flooding. How I wished I had worked harder!
Suddenly I realized my bag was still in the gym. I didn’t have the courage to go back, so I walked out to the track and up to the top of the bleachers (露天看台). There was an hour and a half left before practice was over. I sat up there and waited. When five o’clock came, I ran through the back door, took my bag and rushed out, just hoping to avoid any of my former teammates.
As worried as I was about avoiding my former teammates, I was afraid of having to face my father. . I got into the car and he asked, “How was practice ” I said, “Fine,” and kept silent the rest of the ride home.

1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Dear Kate,
Is everything going on well I’m writing to share with you our wonderful activities during the 15th Foreign Language Week.
In order to provide a platform for students to show their foreign language talents, the event kicked off last Monday. There was indeed a great variety of activities, ranging from English dubbing competition to drama show, as well as English speech contest. Many students distinguished themselves with a high level of English competence. Personally speaking, it was a fantastic way to build our confidence in using English in different situations and challenged us to improve our comprehensive skills.
How about your school life recently Looking forward to your sharing.
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
Upon arrival, my father, who obviously noticed something unusual, started the talk. “Is everything going on well, boy ” he asked. This simple question, after an hour and a half of sitting up there in the bleachers and thinking about what a loser I was, crushed my last insistence. “I was cut out of my basketball team,” I owned up to my failure, tears streaming down my face. My father gave me an encouraging pat on the shoulder with the words “Never mind” and suggested that if I practiced hard from now on, all my efforts would pay off one day. His words soaking into my heart, the next several months witnessed me sprinkling sweat on the basketball court.
The next year the basketball team wanted new players. I mustered up all my courage to sign up for the tryout after one year’s tireless practice. Back to the same gym, I took a deep breath and moved and jumped gracefully. Obviously it was a roaring success. The coach along with my former teammates was surprised to find what great progress I had made. What had been the location of my defeat became my symbol of success and deep down in my heart. I knew it could not have been achieved without my father’s encouragement, my hard work and most importantly my adoption of the “I’ll show you” mindset instead of a “poor me” attitude.

39. A 解析：小标题概括，考查对段落的概括能力。AB选项在结构上符合小标题特点，但是AB选项语义相反，A选项在该段中能找到重复词汇，符合要求，而B选项的sweating与文段中的calming down等信息不符，故选A。
40. E 解析：段中句填空。同时考查尾段概括能力。在前文几条建议的基础上，尾段着力行动，E选项为祈使句，与后文You may be surprised by what you discover一致，故选E。

Text 10:
An endangered species of whale is experiencing a small baby boom off the coast of America. The North Atlantic right whale is one of the rarest species of whale on the planet numbering only about 411. But the Center for Coastal Studies said Friday that its research team noticed a mom with two babies in Cape Cod Bay a day earlier. That brings the number seen in nearby waters alone this year to 3. That’s big news because the whale population has been falling and no baby whales were seen last year. In all, seven baby whales have been spotted so far this year. The whale population has become endangered due to commercial whaling activities in recent years. This is because they are sometimes hunted for their meat or their skin. Over-hunting could lead to the disappearance of the whale population, possibly causing major problems to the global food chain. The whales give birth off the southeast coast of America in the winter and travel to the northeast coast in the early spring. Northeast coast is an important source of food. The animals often feed close to shore. This provides watchers on land with chances of viewing one of the rarest of marine mammals.
