　　Today I received my son’s school uniform.The shiny cotton jumper （針織套衫） is rich， deep green， bearing the crest （徽章） of my son’s primary school， the one he will be attending just a week from now.I admire how nice it is， and wonder how I’ll ever keep it clean.
　　My primary school uniform was dark blue trousers and a blue jumper， over a white shirt with blue checked lines.My son’s shirt is white， and doesn’t have the dark blue tie that was a must during my own schooling.Instead of facing the fact that my son is now of school age， I wonder why children no longer have to wear ties.
　　I wore a uniform every day of my schooling， and hated it.I envied the American high school kids from movies and TV， who looked cool in their jackets.Until I turned 18， most of my clothes had lettering that spelled out things like ATHLETIC， GOALS， or many other words.These were often acquired from markets that sold cheap clothes.Except Sundays， I wore my uniform almost every single day， as did most of my friends.
　　When we were young， we didn’t realize that the main advantage of uniforms was to stop our parents having to buy us eight times as many clothes. It may also be why we never gave a second thought to ripping （撕破） our trousers， dirtying our shirtsleeves （襯衣袖子） and making holes in our jumpers so that， by April each year， our uniforms had been weather-beaten and time-worn.
　　Perhaps that’s why I have a lump in my throat （哽咽） as my son tries it on， and realize that this uniform too， so shiny and clean， will go through the same experiences：the ripping， the mending， and of course， the cleaning.
24.What is different about the author’s son’s uniform？
A.It has no tie. B.It has no shirt.
C.It has no bright colours. D.It has no school crest on it.
25.What did the author think of her uniform when she was young？
A.It cost too much. B.It was not attractive.
C.It didn’t fit her perfectly. D.It made her feel very special.
26.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4？
A.She regretted not valuing her uniform.
B.She expected to wear high-quality uniforms.
C.She cared little about her uniform while wearing it.
D.She asked her parents to buy new uniforms every year.
27.The author thinks it would be hard for her son to 　　　　.
A.wear his uniform every day B.make holes in his uniform
C.try his new uniform on D.keep his uniform clean
C
　　It can be incredibly difficult to encourage ourselves to go for a run during winter， particularly when it’s wet and windy outside.But new research has found that even a super-quick run can have great health benefits.In fact， it seems that just a 10-minute session will not only make us feel better， but also improve brain health.Now， we all know that exercise can improve mental and physical health in many ways.
　　But when it comes to mental well-being， there’s been relatively little research done on the specific benefits of running， compared with other physical activities， like cycling.So this was something put to the test during a recent study.Researchers from University of Tsukuba in Japan asked participants to run on a treadmill （跑步機） for just 10 minutes.They then had to take a Stroop Colour Word Test which is used to measure reaction time in brain processing.Results showed there was a highest point in self-reported pleasure and an increase in degree of activity of the brain.
　　In other words， runners were found to have an increase in blood flow in the part of the brain that’s associated with dealing with functions and controlling mood.Researchers then compared these results with a similar study on cycling， which also showed improved cognition （認知）， but no mood improvement.Therefore， it seems various types of exercise can make us feel differently.
　　The authors noted， “Given exercise is medicine， the effects of drugs differ depending on the type of drug， and different types of exercise such as running and cycling should be observed to have different effects on mental health and brain functions as well.”
　　So pushing ourselves to get outside for a run really will make us feel better， probably more than other fitness activities.And these findings show that we don’t necessarily need to do a lot of exercise to feel the benefit of it.
28.What has the new research found？
A.Running fast benefits all of us. B.Running is the best exercise.
C.A short time run can be beneficial. D.A healthy mind encourages us to run.
29.How did the researchers get the result？
A.By using different drugs on participants. B.By interviewing some sportsmen.
C.By collecting information on the Internet. D.By doing experiments and comparisons.
30.Which is related to our happiness？
A.Cycling. B.Medicine.
C.Blood flow. D.Colours.
31.What is the main idea of the text？
A.We should go for a run in winter. B.Running really benefits us mentally.
C.We don’t need a lot of exercise. D.Running on a treadmill is better than running outside.
D
　　Coastal communities around the world are using coir， material from coconuts （椰子）， to reduce shoreline erosion （海岸線侵蝕）.People use coir to build barriers， protecting beaches from getting washed away by the force of waves.The material is common and costs a lot less than barriers made of other materials， like wood， steel or concrete.
　　One project is being built along part of an eroded riverbank in Neptune， New Jersey.The effort has already greatly improved areas that were badly damaged by erosion during Superstorm Sandy in 2012.“We’re always trying to reduce wave energy while protecting the shoreline，” said Tim Dillingham， the director of the group who runs the project.“And whenever we can， we like to use nature-based solutions.”
　　The coconut-based material is designed to break down over time.But before it does， it is sometimes pre-seeded （預(yù)先播種） with shoreline plants and grasses.The coir material holds the plants in place as they grow， finally breaking down and leaving the established plants in place to keep the shoreline from eroding.
　　In Boston， Julia Hopkins from Northeastern University is also using coir， wood chips and other materials to create barriers to slow the force of waves.A test project has four coconut-based barriers in waterways around Boston.Hopkins is pleased with the results she has seen so far.She said the coconut material is not costly and is actually being recycled rather than thrown away.
　　The method does not always work， however.In 2016， the Felix Neck Wildlife Sanctuary （a wildlife protection area） in Edgartown， Massachusetts， built barriers around a salt marsh， an area of coastal grassland， that had eroded in the past.While the effort did help reduce erosion for a while， the material did not last long because of strong waves.
　　“It got blown out many times，” said Suzan Bellincampi， the sanctuary’s director.“We had it in place for a few years and we decided not to fix it again.The project was really interesting in terms of what we wanted to do and how we changed it.It works in some places； it doesn’t work in all places.”
32.What are communities near the coast doing？
A.They are making use of wave energy.
B.They are fighting to stop shoreline erosion.
C.They are building barriers to prepare for storms.
D.They are developing new materials from coconuts.
33.What might the underlined word “established” in Paragraph 3 mean？
A.Hard to find. B.Ready to plant.
C.Well developed. D.Newly discovered.
34.What is Julia Hopkins’ attitude towards coconut-based barriers？
A.Carefree. B.Unclear.
C.Favorable. D.Doubtful.
35.Why is the project in a sanctuary mentioned in the last but one paragraph？
A.To encourage more places to follow the method.
B.To show that the method is not a one-size-fits-all solution.
C.To stress the importance of using the method to protect nature.
D.To explain how to change the method according to local conditions.

　　It was my 21st birthday and I wanted to have an unforgettable night.So I arranged to have a party at this famous hotel.It was a warm evening in the middle of August， but because it was raining heavily outside we had to stay in the hotel all night.There were a lot of guests at the party and the room was packed.I was dancing when I saw the smoke.People began to panic， but there were so many of us that we couldn’t get out quickly.Soon the room was full of smoke.I managed to open a window and get out of the burning building.The fire fighters arrived shortly after， but it took a long time for them to put out the fire.Luckily， all the guests got out in time.Some of them had to go to hospital because of burns and breathing problems.Fortunately， the fire fighters had put out the fire before it spread to the rest of the hotel.However， the room where the party was held was completely destroyed.I was told later that it was because the building had been struck by lightning.Can you believe it？

31.B　主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容尤其是第一段的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)可知，即使是短時間的跑步也會改善大腦健康。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。海濱社區(qū)利用椰殼材料制作屏障來抵御海浪侵蝕海岸線。
32.B　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的Coastal communities around the world are using coir ...to reduce shoreline erosion （海岸線侵蝕）.可知，世界各地的海濱社區(qū)都在使用椰子殼粗纖維來減少海岸線侵蝕，即都在奮力阻止海岸線侵蝕。
33.C　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段第二、三句可知，人們有時會預(yù)先在椰子殼粗纖維材料中播種植物和草，在植物生長的過程中，該纖維材料會將它們固定在原地。由此可推知，該纖維材料最終分解時，留下的是“在一個新地方成功成長的”植物，即“長勢或發(fā)育良好的”植物，從而防止海岸線受到侵蝕。
34.C　觀點態(tài)度題。根據(jù)第四段內(nèi)容可知，Julia Hopkins使用椰子殼粗纖維、木屑和其他材料制作屏障，以減緩波浪的力量，她對目前的測試結(jié)果很滿意，同時她還指出椰子材料不僅便宜而且可回收。由此可知，她對這種基于椰子的屏障表示贊許。
35.B　推理判斷題。倒數(shù)第二段首句指出，這種方法并不總是有效，隨后列舉了在一個野生動物保護區(qū)使用該方法的例子進行說明；根據(jù)該段最后一句和最后一段中該保護區(qū)負責(zé)人所說的話可知，提及該保護區(qū)是為了表明此方法并不適用于所有地方。one-size-fits-all通用的，一體適用的。
語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要針對剛進入高中的學(xué)生該如何更好地適應(yīng)高中生活給出了幾點建議。
36.G　根據(jù)空前一句可知，文章主要介紹的是學(xué)生從初中到高中面臨的情況。結(jié)合下文的小標(biāo)題可知，下文介紹的是如何更好地適應(yīng)高中生活，G項（這里有一些方法可以幫助你處理焦慮情緒，為第一年做好準(zhǔn)備）符合語境。
37.C　根據(jù)空后一句可知，這里介紹的是通過一些簡單的小事，比如和一個陌生人坐在一起吃午飯就可以讓自己交到新朋友，C項（如果你緊張，從小事做起）能夠引起下文，下文中的Simply sitting with a new person at lunch是對C項中start small的舉例。
38.F　根據(jù)本段小標(biāo)題Explore the campus.可知，本段內(nèi)容建議高一新生去探索校園。空后的They提到了人，F(xiàn)項（如果你擔(dān)心未知的事情，那就聯(lián)系學(xué)校，看看是否有人能幫助你）引出下文，下文的They與F項中的someone相呼應(yīng)，指代能夠給你提供幫助的人。
39.D　根據(jù)本段小標(biāo)題Get organised.可知，本段建議上高中后學(xué)習(xí)要有規(guī)劃，D項（盡可能地有條理，這樣你就可以在學(xué)業(yè)上表現(xiàn)優(yōu)異）符合本段主旨，D項中的organised和小標(biāo)題中的organised相呼應(yīng)，stay on top of your work和下文的Staying on top of your studies相呼應(yīng)。
40.A　根據(jù)最后一段中的Having a plan in place will help you make the most of your high school experience.可知，本段建議制訂計劃，A項（制訂一個三年計劃）能夠概括本段主旨，與本段第一句中的plan和the next three years相呼應(yīng)。
第三部分

　　It was my 21st birthday and I wanted to have an unforgettable
night.So I arranged to have a party at this famous hotel.It was a warm
evening in the middle of August， but because it was raining heavily
outside we had to stay in the hotel all night.There were a lot of guests at
the party and the room was packed.I was dancing when I saw the
smoke.People began to panic， but there were so many of us that we
couldn’t get out quickly.Soon the room was full of smoke.I managed to
open a window and get out of the burning building.The fire fighters
arrived shortly after，
but it took a long time for them to put out the fire.Luckily， all the guests
got out in time.Some of them had to go to hospital because of burns and
breathing problems.Fortunately， the fire fighters had put out the fire
before it spread to the rest of the hotel.However， the room where the
party was held was completely destroyed.I was told later that it was
because the building had been struck by lightning.Can you believe it？

　　Today I received my son’s school uniform.The shiny cotton jumper
（針織套衫） is rich， deep green， bearing the crest （徽章） of my
son’s primary school， the one he will be attending just a week from
now.I admire how nice it is， and wonder how I’ll ever keep it clean.
　　My primary school uniform was dark blue trousers and a blue
jumper， over a white shirt with blue checked lines.My son’s shirt is
white， and doesn’t have the dark blue tie that was a must during my
own schooling.Instead of facing the fact that my son is now of school
age， I wonder why children no longer have to wear ties.
　　I wore a uniform every day of my schooling， and hated it.I envied
the American high school kids from movies and TV， who looked cool in
their jackets.Until I turned 18， most of my clothes had lettering that
spelled out things like ATHLETIC， GOALS， or many other
words.These were often acquired from markets that sold cheap
clothes.Except Sundays， I wore my uniform almost every single day，
as did most of my friends.
　　When we were young， we didn’t realize that the main advantage of
uniforms was to stop our parents having to buy us eight times as many
clothes. It may also be why we never gave a second thought to ripping
（撕破） our trousers， dirtying our shirtsleeves （襯衣袖子） and
making holes in our jumpers so that， by April each year， our uniforms
had been weather-beaten and time-worn.
　　Perhaps that’s why I have a lump in my throat （哽咽） as my son
tries it on， and realize that this uniform too， so shiny and clean， will
go through the same experiences：the ripping， the mending， and of
course， the cleaning.

時，撕破褲子、弄臟襯衣袖子和磨破套衫是常有的事。由此可
知，她不愛惜校服。never give a second thought不假思索；
weather-beaten受損的；time-worn陳舊的。
27. The author thinks it would be hard for her son to 　　　　.

　　It can be incredibly difficult to encourage ourselves to go for a run
during winter， particularly when it’s wet and windy outside.But new
research has found that even a super-quick run can have great health
benefits.In fact， it seems that just a 10-minute session will not only make
us feel better， but also improve brain health.Now， we all know that
exercise can improve mental and physical health in many ways.
　　But when it comes to mental well-being， there’s been relatively
little research done on the specific benefits of running， compared with
other physical activities， like cycling.So this was something put to the
test during a recent study.Researchers from University of Tsukuba in
Japan asked participants to run on a treadmill （跑步機） for just 10
minutes.They then had to take a Stroop Colour Word Test which is used to
measure reaction time in brain processing.Results showed there was a
highest point in self-reported pleasure and an increase in degree of activity
of the brain.
　　In other words， runners were found to have an increase in blood
flow in the part of the brain that’s associated with dealing with functions
and controlling mood.Researchers then compared these results with a
similar study on cycling， which also showed improved cognition （認
知）， but no mood improvement.Therefore， it seems various types of
exercise can make us feel differently.
　　The authors noted， “Given exercise is medicine， the effects of
drugs differ depending on the type of drug， and different types of
exercise such as running and cycling should be observed to have different
effects on mental health and brain functions as well.”
　　So pushing ourselves to get outside for a run really will make us feel
better， probably more than other fitness activities.And these findings
show that we don’t necessarily need to do a lot of exercise to feel the
benefit of it.

　　Coastal communities around the world are using coir， material from
coconuts （椰子）， to reduce shoreline erosion （海岸線侵
蝕）.People use coir to build barriers， protecting beaches from getting
washed away by the force of waves.The material is common and costs a
lot less than barriers made of other materials， like wood， steel or
concrete.
　　One project is being built along part of an eroded riverbank in
Neptune， New Jersey.The effort has already greatly improved areas that
were badly damaged by erosion during Superstorm Sandy in
2012.“We’re always trying to reduce wave energy while protecting the
shoreline，” said Tim Dillingham， the director of the group who runs
the project.“And whenever we can， we like to use nature-based
solutions.”
　　The coconut-based material is designed to break down over time.But
before it does， it is sometimes pre-seeded （預(yù)先播種） with shoreline
plants and grasses.The coir material holds the plants in place as they
grow， finally breaking down and leaving the established plants in place to
keep the shoreline from eroding.
　　In Boston， Julia Hopkins from Northeastern University is also using
coir， wood chips and other materials to create barriers to slow the force
of waves.A test project has four coconut-based barriers in waterways
around Boston.Hopkins is pleased with the results she has seen so far.She
said the coconut material is not costly and is actually being recycled rather
than thrown away.
　　The method does not always work， however.In 2016， the Felix
Neck Wildlife Sanctuary （a wildlife protection area） in Edgartown，
Massachusetts， built barriers around a salt marsh， an area of coastal
grassland， that had eroded in the past.While the effort did help reduce
erosion for a while， the material did not last long because of strong
waves.
　　“It got blown out many times，” said Suzan Bellincampi， the
sanctuary’s director.“We had it in place for a few years and we decided
not to fix it again.The project was really interesting in terms of what we
wanted to do and how we changed it.It works in some places； it doesn’t
work in all places.”

語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。海濱社區(qū)利用椰殼材料制作屏障來
抵御海浪侵蝕海岸線。
32. What are communities near the coast doing？
A. They are making use of wave energy.
B. They are fighting to stop shoreline erosion.
C. They are building barriers to prepare for storms.
D. They are developing new materials from coconuts.
解析： 　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的Coastal communities
around the world are using coir ...to reduce shoreline erosion （海岸
線侵蝕）.可知，世界各地的海濱社區(qū)都在使用椰子殼粗纖維來減
少海岸線侵蝕，即都在奮力阻止海岸線侵蝕。
33. What might the underlined word “established” in Paragraph 3
mean？
A. Hard to find. B. Ready to plant.
C. Well developed. D. Newly discovered.
解析： 　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段第二、三句可知，人們有時
會預(yù)先在椰子殼粗纖維材料中播種植物和草，在植物生長的過程
中，該纖維材料會將它們固定在原地。由此可推知，該纖維材料
最終分解時，留下的是“在一個新地方成功成長的”植物，即
“長勢或發(fā)育良好的”植物，從而防止海岸線受到侵蝕。
34. What is Julia Hopkins’ attitude towards coconut-based barriers？
A. Carefree. B. Unclear.
C. Favorable. D. Doubtful.
解析： 　觀點態(tài)度題。根據(jù)第四段內(nèi)容可知，Julia Hopkins使用
椰子殼粗纖維、木屑和其他材料制作屏障，以減緩波浪的力量，
她對目前的測試結(jié)果很滿意，同時她還指出椰子材料不僅便宜而
且可回收。由此可知，她對這種基于椰子的屏障表示贊許。
35. Why is the project in a sanctuary mentioned in the last but one
paragraph？
A. To encourage more places to follow the method.
B. To show that the method is not a one-size-fits-all solution.
C. To stress the importance of using the method to protect nature.
D. To explain how to change the method according to local conditions.
解析： 　推理判斷題。倒數(shù)第二段首句指出，這種方法并不總
是有效，隨后列舉了在一個野生動物保護區(qū)使用該方法的例子進
行說明；根據(jù)該段最后一句和最后一段中該保護區(qū)負責(zé)人所說的
話可知，提及該保護區(qū)是為了表明此方法并不適用于所有地方。
one-size-fits-all通用的，一體適用的。

　　“Good.I hope we’re a million years late and there will be no piano
anymore.The people of the future will be smart.They’ll understand that
humans are better off without the piano.They’ll understand me，”
Angela said angrily.
　　“Angela， if you don’t get in the car right now，I’m going to
forbid you from using the computer.”
　　“For how long？”
　　“Until Christmas.”
　　Dad wasn’t joking.Angela got in the car.Her father dropped her off
at the music school.He told her he would come and pick her up after an
hour， and then left.
　　Angela feared to practice the piano， and her teacher， Mr
Poliakoff， made her nervous with his lisp （咬舌） and unclear
instructions.Angela found his music boring and she was afraid of playing
the wrong note or being scolded （訓(xùn)斥）.She didn’t want to go to Mr
Poliakoff’s classroom.She planned to pass the hour in the sun， or under
a tree.
　　When Angela was walking around the music school， she heard
someone playing the piano differently from Mr Poliakoff’s music.She
followed the sound.It was coming from one of the classrooms.She looked
through the glass window and saw it was Mrs O’ Hara.Feeling curious，
Angela entered the classroom.
　　“Hello，” Mrs O’ Hara said to her.“Can I help you？”
　　“No，” said Angela.“I， uh， I just heard the music，
and ...”
　　“Do you like the piano？”
　　“I hate the piano，” said Angela.
　　The woman started to laugh，“Come on.It’s okay to be
curious.Do you know anything about jazz？”
　　Mrs O’ Hara then introduced jazz music to her and played a piece
for her.Angela was attracted by Mrs O’ Hara’s playing.It was like
nothing she had ever heard before.Mrs O’ Hara noticed Angela’s
interest and invited her to try playing something herself.Angela hesitated
（猶豫）， but Mrs O’ Hara was kind and encouraging.Angela played a
simple piece of music with a smile on her face.

Hara. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　
參考范文：
　　For the first time， Angela felt like she was really playing music.Mrs
O’ Hara taught her some basic jazz and helped her create a simple
tune.Though it wasn’t perfect， Angela felt a sense of freedom and
creativity that she had never experienced before.She realized that she
didn’t hate the piano anymore； she just needed to find her own way to
play it.Angela asked Mrs O’ Hara if she could come back for more
lessons， and Mrs O’ Hara agreed.
　　The following week， Angela began taking lessons with Mrs O’
Hara.Her parents were excited to see her finally enjoy something， and
were very supportive of her.Angela learned more about jazz music and
started practicing on her own.She even started writing her own pieces.She
knew her change was inseparable from Mrs O’ Hara.She would always
remember the day she heard Mrs O’ Hara play and discovered her love
for jazz music.It was a turning point in her life， and she would forever be
thankful for the experience.
