阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
These days if there’s something you’re scared about while traveling, from insect bites to having your credit card stolen on the beach, there’s a piece of technology to deal with it.
The Smart Suitcase
An IndieGogo campaign has produced the Bluesmart, a suitcase for people who like every part of their travel life to be connected — and the features are pretty impressive. The Bluesmart can be locked and unlocked via your phone, tracked worldwide, weigh its own contents, charge your devices, and warn you if it’s separated from you. It costs $329.00.
The Portable Water Sterilizer
If you’ve ever had Delhi Belly or any kind of waterborne disease while travelling, this will seem like a complete life saver. The SteriPen is a handheld UV water purifier, and can kill 99.9percent of waterborne bacteria and diseases in whatever water you stick it in. It can purify a full liter of water in 90 seconds. It’s also pretty reasonable at $69.95.
The RealTime Translator
Sigmo is designed to be a small, handheld realtime translator for 25 languages. It’s tiny—barely the size of a square of chocolate— and can be used with earphones or speakers and during phone calls. Right now, they’re predicting that it will be $65.00, but keep an eye on the developers for news.
The Cooling TeeShirt
Sol Cool is designed for people hiking around in heat. The fabric of the clothes has significant cooling functions when it comes to human body heat, creating a nice cool sense next to the skin. The fabric is also very highwicking and UV protected, so you can still wear clothes in extreme heat without boiling. A woman’s shirt costs $60.00.
1. What should be bought for those sensitive to bacteria
A. Bluesmart. B. SteriPen. C. Sigmo. D. Sol Cool.
2. How much will a woman hiker pay to buy a shirt to keep cool
A. $329.00. B. $69.95. C. $65.00. D. $60.00.
3. What do the four products have in common
A. They are techfriendly. B. They protect your luggage.
C. They can drive away insects. D. They make you cool in summer.
B
Prabodh Malhotra, a retired Melbourne economist, 71, on Wednesday walked the final steps of a 1,000km, 52day hiking between the Melbourne Cricket Ground and the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) to raise funds for the McGrath Foundation.
His “crazy” idea to hike between the two great cricket (板球) grounds came this time last year when he saw a group of men walk 150km between Newcastle and the SCG for the same breast cancer charity. “I thought if they can do it and raise $1,000 per kilometre, I should be able to raise the bar,” he said on Wednesday.
Before the end of January, he signed up. But his friends thought he was crazy, pointing to the lack of footpaths and the danger caused by trucks, buses and cars passing by. But Malhotra was undeterred.
“If something happens in the process of doing something good for the country, I’m more than happy to go,” he said.
With the help of friends, he set a course through Shepparton, Jindabyne, Canberra and Moss Vale, rotating (换穿) through four pairs of shoes, including a nowrundown pair of Hokas.
Malhotra said he was amazed by the generosity of people along the way. Traders and accommodation providers declined payment and often donated to the McGrath Foundation when they discovered his charitable cause.
“To walk 1,000km up from the MCG at the age of 71 just proves you can do anything you want if you put your mind to it,” McGrath said. “It’s an incredible effort. The raised money will help fund nurses for 2,100 families going through breast cancer in 2024”.
4. What inspired Prabodh Malhotra to start his hike
A. His love for sports. B. His desire for health.
C. His sight of others hiking. D. His dream of being famous.
5. Which of the following best explains “undeterred” underlined in Paragraph3
A. Unshakable. B. Undesirable. C. Unavoidable. D. Understandable.
6. What was people’s reaction to Malhotra’s hike
A. Conservative. B. Supportive. C. Negative. D. Objective.
7. What does Malhotra think of the 1,000km hike
A. Easy and worthwhile. B. Lengthy and thrilling.
C. Comfortable and rewarding. D. Tough and meaningful.
C
Do you know what Mark Zuckerberg, Barack Obama, and Christopher Nolan all have in common They wear the same kind of clothing every day. The greatest scientist, Albert Ein-stein, had five similar gray suits in his wardrobe (衣柜). What’s with geniuses and their limited clothing choices
When asked about why they do it, many successful people cite a phenomenon called decision fatigue (疲劳). So, what is decision fatigue and how can we overcome it Will wearing the same thing every day do the trick
Like it or not, decision-making is a part of our everyday lives. From the moment we wake up, we deal with an endless stream of choices — when to get up, what to eat, what to wear, and so on. The human brain makes about 35,000 decisions per day, most of which we may not even be aware of.
Decision fatigue is a state when the mind becomes tired after making too many decisions within a short amount of time.
What should you do when you’re tired of making decisions Einstein himself said that he chose the same gray suit every day, “So that I don’t waste any brainpower in the mornings deciding which set of clothes to wear.”
Please remember: having fewer choices means less time and energy wasted—a simplified life! The best way to achieve this is to stick to regular tasks on a daily basis. That way, your brain doesn’t have to sweat those little decisions every day. While shopping or doing any kind of cognitively demanding activities, try to make a list, and cross things off as you go. This will reduce decision fatigue and help you make choices more rationally (理智地), fairly, and objectively.
8. Why is Albert Einstein mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To introduce his poor life. B. To show his preference for black suits.
C. To lead to the topic of decision fatigue. D. To compare him with other famous people.
9. What do we know about decision fatigue
A. It can wear people out. B. It is caused by too few choices.
C. It is put forward by Albert Einstein. D. It can be effectively solved by a rich life.
10. What is recommended as a good way to overcome decision fatigue
A. Having a rain plan in advance. B. Getting up early to get more time.
C. Buying as many clothes as possible. D. Sticking to regular tasks every day.
11. Which statement will the author probably support
A. The richer, the more choices. B. The simpler, the more relaxed.
C. The poorer, the fewer clothes. D. The busier, the less chances.
D
Most of us can’t start our day until we’ve had our morning coffee. However, the production of coffee makes large amounts of agricultural waste, about 50 percent of the actual weight of the coffee produced. Agricultural waste was a huge environmental issue for coffee producers and didn’t have any other purpose for it.
In the past, when coffee beans were roasted to make coffee, husks and pulp (外壳和果肉) were eventually turned into a powerful greenhouse gas. Now a company called Woodpecker mixes recycled plastic along with the coffee husks and pulp to create a new material that’s being used to build houses. The idea was not just to create any material but build one that was both affordable and lightweight. The material could change the way people build houses in hilly areas and remote destinations, where it’s usually harder to transport the traditional material such as bricks, and concrete.
Woodpecker experimented by combining various natural fibers with recycled plastic including rice, palm, and grass fiber. Through trial and error, the company came to the conclusion that the best natural fiber to combine with recycled plastic was coffee husks and pulp which lent the material strength and durability (耐久性). Most importantly, the material would be easily available. The material is also fireproof and prevents insect problems.
The company sponsored (赞助) two complete houses after a hurricane destroyed more than a thousand homes in Colombian. “The system worked perfectly considering there was no power supply, the ground was muddy, the airport was damaged, there was no food, etc., all the problems you can imagine. We believe that our houses are an excellent solution to the housing crisis there,” said Alejandro Franco, CEO of Woodpecker.
12. What makes the material a good choice to build houses in hilly areas and remote destinations
A. They are easily available. B. They are fireproof.
C. They are lightweight. D. They are durable.
13. How did Woodpecker choose coffee husks and pulp to combine with recycled plastic
A. By collecting figures online to make a decision.
B. By doing experiments to make comparisons.
C. By turning to experts to find a solution.
D. By asking local people for help.
14. What problem did Woodpecker’s houses solve in Colombia
A. The lack of power supply. B. The damage to the airport.
C. The shortage of food and water. D. The housing crisis after a hurricane.
15. What’s Alejandro Franco’s attitude to the two houses built in Colombian after a hurricane
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Subject.

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。
Anniversary (纪念日) trips were a tradition nearly as old as our marriage. Each year, we took turns planning a secret trip. After our daughter Aurora was born, she came on our adventures too. We’d stayed in a historic train car in Livingston, the Ghost Rails Inn in Montana, and Chena Hot Springs in Alaska. But this anniversary required someplace special. Somewhere completely unexpected. Could we still get a surprise during our anniversary trip
The pressure was on—and I found the perfect spot: The Shire of Montana. It was a J.R. R. Tolkien -inspired guest home, a “hobbit house (霍比特小屋)” built into a hillside near the small town of Trout Creek, a 7-hour drive from our place in Roundup. Jim and I had often talked about how fun it would be to build a hobbit house, so I knew Aurora would be excited. And she would love it, too.
Magical structures dotted the grounds—a troll mine, a wishing well, houses for dwarves (矮人) and fairies. What child wouldn’t be attracted to a village made for childsize hobbits This was going to be the best trip yet. She might love The Shire even more than we did.
I was about to book our reservation when I saw a note on the Shire’s website: No kids allowed. That ruined everything! We couldn’t leave Aurora alone at home, and I had no Plan B. A year without an anniversary adventure was unthinkable. Could it be the big surprise for this anni-versary trip Shall we find another destination Were there any other places like the village made for childsize hobbits No, No, No…All answers were the same.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

To my amazement, there was an email address on the site.

Prabodh Malhotra, a retired Melbourne economist, 71, on Wednesday walked the final steps of a 1,000km, 52day hiking between the Melbourne Cricket Ground and the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) to raise funds for the McGrath Foundation.
His “crazy” idea to hike between the two great cricket (板球) grounds came this time last year when he saw a group of men walk 150km between Newcastle and the SCG for the same breast cancer charity. “I thought if they can do it and raise $1,000 per kilometre, I should be able to raise the bar,” he said on Wednesday.
Before the end of January, he signed up. But his friends thought he was crazy, pointing to the lack of footpaths and the danger caused by trucks, buses and cars passing by. But Malhotra was undeterred.
“If something happens in the process of doing something good for the country, I’m more than happy to go,” he said.
With the help of friends, he set a course through Shepparton, Jindabyne, Canberra and Moss Vale, rotating (换穿) through four pairs of shoes, including a nowrundown pair of Hokas.
Malhotra said he was amazed by the generosity of people along the way. Traders and accommodation providers declined payment and often donated to the McGrath Foundation when they discovered his charitable cause.
“To walk 1,000km up from the MCG at the age of 71 just proves you can do anything you want if you put your mind to it,” McGrath said. “It’s an incredible effort. The raised money will help fund nurses for 2,100 families going through breast cancer in 2024”.
4. What inspired Prabodh Malhotra to start his hike
A. His love for sports. B. His desire for health.
C. His sight of others hiking. D. His dream of being famous.
5. Which of the following best explains “undeterred” underlined in Paragraph3
A. Unshakable. B. Undesirable. C. Unavoidable. D. Understandable.
6. What was people’s reaction to Malhotra’s hike
A. Conservative. B. Supportive. C. Negative. D. Objective.
7. What does Malhotra think of the 1,000km hike
A. Easy and worthwhile. B. Lengthy and thrilling.
C. Comfortable and rewarding. D. Tough and meaningful.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D
【解析】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“His “crazy” idea to hike between the two great cricket (板球) grounds came this time last year when he saw a group of men walk 150km between Newcastle and the SCG for the same breast cancer charity.(去年的这个时候，他看到一群人为了同一个乳腺癌慈善机构在纽卡斯尔和SCG之间步行150公里，于是萌生了在这两个伟大的板球场之间徒步旅行的“疯狂”想法)”可知，看到别人徒步旅行激发了Prabodh Malhotra开始他的徒步旅行。故选C。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“But his friends thought he was crazy, pointing to the lack of footpaths and the danger caused by trucks, buses and cars passing by.(但他的朋友们认为他疯了，指出这里没有人行道，而且卡车、公共汽车和汽车经过会造成危险)”提到他的朋友门对他的担心，结合but表示转折，说明Prabodh Malhotra很坚定，依然完成了两大板球场之间1000公里的徒步，故划线词underred表示“坚定不移的”。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“Traders and accommodation providers declined payment and often donated to the McGrath Foundation when they discovered his charitable cause.(交易员和住宿供应商拒绝付款，当他们发现他的慈善事业时，经常向麦格拉思基金会捐款)”可推知，一路上商人和酒店老板都给予Prabodh Malhotra帮助，即支持他的徒步。故选B。

Do you know what Mark Zuckerberg, Barack Obama, and Christopher Nolan all have in common They wear the same kind of clothing every day. The greatest scientist, Albert Ein-stein, had five similar gray suits in his wardrobe (衣柜). What’s with geniuses and their limited clothing choices
When asked about why they do it, many successful people cite a phenomenon called decision fatigue (疲劳). So, what is decision fatigue and how can we overcome it Will wearing the same thing every day do the trick
Like it or not, decision-making is a part of our everyday lives. From the moment we wake up, we deal with an endless stream of choices — when to get up, what to eat, what to wear, and so on. The human brain makes about 35,000 decisions per day, most of which we may not even be aware of.
Decision fatigue is a state when the mind becomes tired after making too many decisions within a short amount of time.
What should you do when you’re tired of making decisions Einstein himself said that he chose the same gray suit every day, “So that I don’t waste any brainpower in the mornings deciding which set of clothes to wear.”
Please remember: having fewer choices means less time and energy wasted—a simplified life! The best way to achieve this is to stick to regular tasks on a daily basis. That way, your brain doesn’t have to sweat those little decisions every day. While shopping or doing any kind of cognitively demanding activities, try to make a list, and cross things off as you go. This will reduce decision fatigue and help you make choices more rationally (理智地), fairly, and objectively.
8. Why is Albert Einstein mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To introduce his poor life. B. To show his preference for black suits.
C. To lead to the topic of decision fatigue. D. To compare him with other famous people.
9. What do we know about decision fatigue
A. It can wear people out. B. It is caused by too few choices.
C. It is put forward by Albert Einstein. D. It can be effectively solved by a rich life.
10. What is recommended as a good way to overcome decision fatigue
A. Having a rain plan in advance. B. Getting up early to get more time.
C. Buying as many clothes as possible. D. Sticking to regular tasks every day.
11. Which statement will the author probably support
A. The richer, the more choices. B. The simpler, the more relaxed.
C. The poorer, the fewer clothes. D. The busier, the less chances.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B
【解析】

Most of us can’t start our day until we’ve had our morning coffee. However, the production of coffee makes large amounts of agricultural waste, about 50 percent of the actual weight of the coffee produced. Agricultural waste was a huge environmental issue for coffee producers and didn’t have any other purpose for it.
In the past, when coffee beans were roasted to make coffee, husks and pulp (外壳和果肉) were eventually turned into a powerful greenhouse gas. Now a company called Woodpecker mixes recycled plastic along with the coffee husks and pulp to create a new material that’s being used to build houses. The idea was not just to create any material but build one that was both affordable and lightweight. The material could change the way people build houses in hilly areas and remote destinations, where it’s usually harder to transport the traditional material such as bricks, and concrete.
Woodpecker experimented by combining various natural fibers with recycled plastic including rice, palm, and grass fiber. Through trial and error, the company came to the conclusion that the best natural fiber to combine with recycled plastic was coffee husks and pulp which lent the material strength and durability (耐久性). Most importantly, the material would be easily available. The material is also fireproof and prevents insect problems.
The company sponsored (赞助) two complete houses after a hurricane destroyed more than a thousand homes in Colombian. “The system worked perfectly considering there was no power supply, the ground was muddy, the airport was damaged, there was no food, etc., all the problems you can imagine. We believe that our houses are an excellent solution to the housing crisis there,” said Alejandro Franco, CEO of Woodpecker.

D. By asking local people for help.
14. What problem did Woodpecker’s houses solve in Colombia
A. The lack of power supply. B. The damage to the airport.

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。讲述了网络上走红的一幅地图。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意：与传统地图不同的是，这张地图完全用虚线标出了该国的历史遗迹和文化遗迹。contrary to…“与……相反”是固定短语，故填to。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：与传统地图不同的是，这张地图完全用虚线标出了该国的历史遗迹和文化遗迹。修饰形容词filled用副词entirely。故填entirely。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：据央视新闻报道，该地图由90后吴云杰绘制。分析句子可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰Wu Yunjie，并在从句中作主语，用关系代词who，故填who。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意：吴偏爱历史，尤其是文物情有独钟。have a preference“偏爱”，不定冠词修饰单数名词，故填preference。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：上大学时，他经常利用业余时间周游全国，参观古迹。短语devote…to“致力于……”中，to是介词，所以填动名词traveling/travelling作宾语，故填travelling/traveling。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：到目前为止，他参观了2000多处文物遗址和200多家博物馆，拍摄了30多万张照片。根据时间状语so far，用现在完成时，表示从句过去开始一直持续到现在的事情，且主语he是第三人称单数，谓语动常用单数，故填has visited。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：现在，这张地图包括了近一万个历史地标，并用不同的颜色代表它们。修饰名词colors用形容词various作定语，故填various。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意：事实上，即使是遥远地区的古老寺庙和桥梁也被标记在地图上。as a matter of fact“事实上”是固定短语，故填a。
【44题详解】
concerned考查句型。句意：在吴看来，这幅地图并不完美，因为它只记录了76万件文物中的2%左右。as far as sb’s concerned “就……而言”，是固定短语，故填concerned。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：但吴一定会改进它，并把它放到网上。be bound to do sth.“一定会……”，用不定式作宾语，故填to improve。

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。
Anniversary (纪念日) trips were a tradition nearly as old as our marriage. Each year, we took turns planning a secret trip. After our daughter Aurora was born, she came on our adventures too. We’d stayed in a historic train car in Livingston, the Ghost Rails Inn in Montana, and Chena Hot Springs in Alaska. But this anniversary required someplace special. Somewhere completely unexpected. Could we still get a surprise during our anniversary trip
The pressure was on—and I found the perfect spot: The Shire of Montana. It was a J.R. R. Tolkien -inspired guest home, a “hobbit house (霍比特小屋)” built into a hillside near the small town of Trout Creek, a 7-hour drive from our place in Roundup. Jim and I had often talked about how fun it would be to build a hobbit house, so I knew Aurora would be excited. And she would love it, too.
Magical structures dotted the grounds—a troll mine, a wishing well, houses for dwarves (矮人) and fairies. What child wouldn’t be attracted to a village made for childsize hobbits This was going to be the best trip yet. She might love The Shire even more than we did.
I was about to book our reservation when I saw a note on the Shire’s website: No kids allowed. That ruined everything! We couldn’t leave Aurora alone at home, and I had no Plan B. A year without an anniversary adventure was unthinkable. Could it be the big surprise for this anni-versary trip Shall we find another destination Were there any other places like the village made for childsize hobbits No, No, No…All answers were the same.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】To my amazement, there was an email address on the site. Dare I ask if an exception might be possible It couldn’t hurt. At the thought of the possibility, I wrote a letter immediately. A reply wasn’t long in coming. “The rule exists because previous children destroyed large parts of the hobbit house,” wrote the owner. “But if you give me your word that your daughter is responsible and will not touch, she can come.” I sighed in relief, glancing again at Aurora. She was a good kid. Thoughtful. Well behaved. This would be okay. Right Having filled out the application form, I wrote the second letter.
The day finally arrived when my application was approved. We piled into the car for the drive to the “hobbit house”. We spent several days there. Aurora delighted in each discovery but never disturbed a thing. She took her responsibility to protect everything seriously. Respecting boundaries didn’t take away the beauty and wonder. It allowed everything to remain beautiful and wonderful into the future.
