(该节日起源于2012年，当时是为才华横溢的DJ Jay Hamilton筹集资金，他被诊断出患有癌症)可知，Future Forest最初的目的就是为了给患有癌症的DJ Jay Hamilton筹钱。故选C项。‎ ‎【3题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据Shambhala Music Festival中This is Canada’s earliest electronic music festival.(这是加拿大最早的电子音乐节)可知，Shambhala Music Festival是加拿大最早的电子音乐节。故选D项。‎ ‎（B）‎ Once a month, I volunteer at a meal center to help serve food to people who are in need. Despite the many other things that I need to do, I really look forward to meeting and serving these people, even if only briefly. Although my motivation begins with wanting to help others and be grateful for what I have been given, it is joy that helps bring me back when I am very busy. I first noticed this some time ago: at the end of our shift, after the kitchen and dining room have been cleaned up, I would experience a lightness of being.‎ A few years ago, as I was researching how kindness affected health, I came to learn that volunteerism was associated with a markedly lower risk of dying. One recent and large European study found that self-reported health scores were apparently better in volunteers than non-volunteers. Depending on the study, the decrease in death rates ranged between 20 to 60 percent or so.‎ How could volunteering decrease the risk of death? There are several factors at play. The first, and most primary, is decreased symptoms of stress and uplifted mood. Many studies have provided evidence that volunteering is good for depression, well-being, and social networking, among other effects. Secondly, people who volunteer regularly also make more effort to take care of themselves. They manage to pay visits to their doctor for preventive health care. Finally, people who volunteer may be more physically active. Volunteers have an obvious increase in walking each day compared to those who did not volunteer.‎ To try to tie this together, volunteering likely exerts its positive health effects by connecting people to others and to an activity that they find meaningful. Achieving connection, purpose, and meaning is critical to reducing stresses of life — particularly loneliness. Since stress is a major cause of disease, especially heart disease, the ability to satisfy the need for connection, purpose, and meaning can bring about beneficial changes for people. And when there is purpose and we are connected to others, we take care of ourselves.‎ ‎4. How does the author feel about doing a volunteer job?‎ A. Pleased. B. Tired.‎ C. Surprised. D. Annoyed.‎ ‎5. What is the second paragraph mainly about?‎ A. A study on volunteerism.‎ B. The health scores of volunteers.‎ C. The relationship between kindness and health.‎ D. Volunteerism’s positive effect on volunteers’ health.‎ ‎6. Volunteering decreases the risk of volunteers’ death mainly by ___________.‎ A. making them more physically active B. making them visit doctors frequently C. pushing them to take care of themselves D. reducing their stress and uplifting their mood ‎7. What does the underlined word “critical” in the last paragraph mean?‎ A. Different. B. Equal.‎ C. Important. D. Contrary.‎ ‎【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. C ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章主要描述了做志愿者服务可以降低死亡率，主要是因为去做志愿者能让人心情愉悦，可以通过跟别人沟通，并且找到生活中有意义的事情，这样来减少孤独感和压力，从而达到身心健康。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段中Although my motivation begins with wanting to help others and be grateful for what I have been given, it is joy that helps bring me back when I am very busy. (‎ 虽然我的动机开始于想要帮助别人，对我所得到的心存感激，但当我很忙的时候，是快乐让我重新振作起来)以及I would experience a lightness of being. (我常常体验到一种轻松感)可知，作者做志愿者后，心情很愉悦。A. Pleased.高兴的；B. Tired.疲惫的；C. Surprised.吃惊的；D. Annoyed.生气的。故选A项。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。第二段中One recent and large European study found that self-reported health scores were apparently better in volunteers than non-volunteers. Depending on the study, the decrease in death rates ranged between 20 to 60 percent or so. (最近的一项大型欧洲研究发现，志愿者的健康得分明显比非志愿者好。根据这项研究，死亡率的下降幅度在20%到60%之间)可知，这一段主要讲解了做志愿者对健康的益处。D. Volunteerism’s positive effect on volunteers’ health.(志愿服务对志愿者的健康有积极的影响) 符合题意。故选D项。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段中How could volunteering decrease the risk of death? There are several factors at play. The first, and most primary, is decreased symptoms of stress and uplifted mood. (志愿服务如何降低死亡风险？有几个因素在起作用。首先，也是最主要的，是压力症状的减轻和情绪的提升)可知，志愿者服务主要是通过减轻压力和提升情绪来降低死亡率。D. reducing their stress and uplifting their mood (减轻他们的压力，提升他们的情绪) 符合题意。故选D项。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句前的To try to tie this together, volunteering likely exerts its positive health effects by connecting people to others and to an activity that they find meaningful.(为了把这些联系起来，志愿活动可能会通过将人们与他人以及他们认为有意义的活动联系起来来发挥其积极的健康作用) 可知，跟别人联系、找到活动的意义能够发挥积极的健康作用。因此划线词所在句Achieving connection, purpose, and meaning is critical to reducing stresses of life — particularly loneliness.意为“实现联系、目的和意义对于减少生活压力至关重要——尤其是孤独感。由此可知，划线词意为“至关重要的”。A. Different.不同的；B. Equal.公平的；C. Important.重要的；D. Contrary.相反的。故选C项。‎ ‎(C)‎ In the summer of 2016, I gave a talk at a small conference in northern Virginia. I began by admitting that I’d never had a social-media account; I then outlined arguments for why other people should consider removing social media from their lives. The event organizers uploaded the video of ‎ my talk to YouTube. Then it was shared repeatedly on Facebook and Instagram and, eventually, viewed more than five million times. I was both pleased and annoyed by the fact that my anti-social-media talk had found such a large audience on social media.‎ I think of this event as typical of the conflicted relationships many of us have with Facebook, Instagram, and other social-media platforms. On the one hand, we’ve grown wary of the so-called attention economy, which, in the name of corporate profits, destroys social life gradually and offends privacy. But we also benefit from social media and hesitate to break away from it completely. Not long ago, I met a partner at a large law firm in Washington, D.C., who told me that she keeps Instagram on her phone because she misses her kids when she travels; looking through pictures of them makes her feel better.‎ In recent months, some of the biggest social-media companies, Facebook and Twitter, in particular, have promised various reforms. In March, Mark Zuckerberg announced a plan to move his platform toward private communication protected by end-to-end encryption (端对端加密); later that month, he put forward the establishment of a third-party group to set standards for acceptable content.‎ All of these approaches assume that the reformation of social media will be a complex, lengthy, and gradual process. But not everyone sees it that way. Alongside these official responses, a loose collective of developers that calls itself the IndieWeb has been creating another alternative. They are developing their own social-media platforms, which they say will preserve what’s good about social media while getting rid of what’s bad. They hope to rebuild social media according to principles that are less corporate and more humane.‎ ‎8. Why did the author feel annoyed when his video was spread online?‎ A. His video caused many arguments.‎ B. His video was shared without his permission.‎ C. His talk was opposed by a large amount of people.‎ D. His video’s popularity on social media is against his talk.‎ ‎9. Why does the author mention the story of his partner?‎ A. To prove that social media has some benefits.‎ B. To advise people to break away from social media.‎ C To tell the negative effects social media may produce.‎ D. To describe people’s conflicted relationships with social media.‎ ‎10. What is the purpose of the reform made by some social-media companies?‎ A. To attract more users.‎ B. To make more profits.‎ C. To improve network environment.‎ D. To provide more convenient service.‎ ‎11. What does the IndieWeb intend to do?‎ A. Develop new social-media platforms.‎ B. Set up principles of the use of social media.‎ C. Improve the existing social-media platforms.‎ D. Help social-media companies to make reformation.‎ ‎【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. A ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇议论文。社交媒体在人们带来便利的同时，也侵犯着人们的隐私。为了这一情况，一些大的社交媒体公司，如Facebook and Twitter也在进行改革，努力改善社交网络环境。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段中I was both pleased and annoyed by the fact that my anti-social-media talk had found such a large audience on social media. (我的反社交媒体演讲在社交媒体上吸引了如此多的听众，这让我既高兴又恼火)可知，前文作者在演讲中说自己没有社交账号，还希望别人不要使用社交媒体。结果他的演讲在社交媒体上的点击量超过500万次，所以他感到又喜又怒。D. His video’s popularity on social media is against his talk. (他的视频在社交媒体上的受欢迎程度与他的言论相悖) 符合题意。故选D项。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段中But we also benefit from social media and hesitate to break away from it completely.(但我们也从社交媒体中受益，所以不愿完全脱离它)，作者在这一句话后，用他朋友的例子来进行论证，就是为了说明我们可以从社交媒体中获益。A. To prove that social media has some benefits. (为了证明社交媒体有一些好处) 符合题意。故选A项。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段中In March, Mark Zuckerberg announced a plan to move his platform toward private communication protected by end-to-end encryption (端对端加密); later that month, he put forward the establishment of a third-party group to set standards for acceptable content.‎ 可知，今年3月, Mark Zuckerberg宣布了一项计划,他要对私人交流的平台移动端到端进行加密保护；当月晚些时候，他提出成立第三方，为可接受的内容设定标准。再根据前文可知，社交媒体有些不安全的因素，因此可推断出，改革的目的就是为了改善社交网络环境。C. To improve network environment. (改善网络环境) 符合题意。故选C项。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据最后一段中Alongside these official responses, a loose collective of developers that calls itself the IndieWeb has been creating another alternative. They are developing their own social-media platforms (除了这些官方的回应，一个自称IndieWeb松散的开发者团体正在创造另一种选择。他们正在开发自己的社交媒体平台)可知，IndieWeb正在开发自己的社交网络平台。A. Develop new social-media platforms. (开发新的社交媒体平台) 符合题意。故选A项。‎ ‎(D)‎ This year, German environmentalists collected 1.75 million signatures for a “save the bees” law requiring an immediate change toward organic farming. But to create healthy ecosystems worldwide, people in communities across the globe will need to take similar action based on sympathy for insects — and not only for bees and butterflies. The environmentalists presented immediate, science-based actions to slow down the insect decline.‎ ‎“It takes specific law to preserve the amazing variety of insects in the world and we need to stop the destroying of natural habitats, limit road building in parks and reserves and produce food without the use of pesticides,” said Basset, an entomologist, “Conserving insects is not the same as conserving big animals or rare frogs. You can’t keep millions of insects in a zoo.”‎ A recent article in Entomology Today suggests that successful programs to save insects have a clear and simple objective and a strategically chosen audience. By focusing on bees and butterflies and other beautiful, familiar insects, it is possible to enact the law to protect the habitat of lesser known, less attractive, but equally important species.‎ But there are still huge gaps in information about how different species of insects are doing, especially in the tropics. “It is next to useless to weigh insects collected in an area and say that insect communities are increasing or declining.” Basset said. “We need much more specific information. That is expensive and difficult because of the effort that it takes just to identify the species, especially in the tropics. What we are doing now is to group insects by their main function, and then to determine how each group is doing in a specific area of the world.”‎ ‎12. What should people do to protect insects according to the text?‎ A. Stop building roads in parks and reserves.‎ B. Open up more natural habitats.‎ C. Avoid using pesticides for crops.‎ D. Keep them in a zoo.‎ ‎13. What can we learn from the successful programs to save insects?‎ A. They have set up laws.‎ B. They focus on specific species.‎ C. They conserve important species.‎ D. They protect the habitat of lesser known species.‎ ‎14. What are the environmentalists doing now?‎ A. Classifying the insects.‎ B. Identifying the species of insects.‎ C. Doing research on insects’ function.‎ D. Weighing insects collected in an area.‎ ‎15. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Helping Insects Is Helping Ourselves!‎ B. Take Action! Insects Need Protection!‎ C. Save the Bees — They Need Your Help!‎ D. Insect Decline: Where Have All the Insects Gone?‎ ‎【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. B ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了全球的昆虫正面临着巨大的威胁，需要大家共同努力来保护他们；文中还阐释了如何更有效地保护昆虫。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It takes specific law to preserve the amazing variety of insects in the world and we need to stop the destroying of natural habitats, limit road building in parks and reserves and produce food without the use of pesticides,”(保护世界上种类繁多的昆虫需要具体的法律，我们需要停止对自然栖息地的破坏，限制公园和保护区的道路建设，生产食物不使用杀虫剂)‎ 可知，我们可以通过“停止对自然栖息地的破坏，限制公园和保护区的道路建设，生产食物不使用杀虫剂”这些措施来保护昆虫。C. Avoid using pesticides for crops. (避免在农作物上使用杀虫剂)符合题意。故选C项。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段中A recent article in Entomology Today suggests that successful programs to save insects have a clear and simple objective and a strategically chosen audience. (今日昆虫学》最近发表的一篇文章指出，成功的昆虫拯救计划有一个明确而简单的目标和精心挑选的受众)可知，成功的昆虫拯救计划在于目标非常明确。B. They focus on specific species. (他们专注于特定的物种)符合题意。故选B项。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据最后一段中What we are doing now is to group insects by their main function, and then to determine how each group is doing in a specific area of the world. (我们现在所做的是根据昆虫的主要功能对它们进行分类，然后确定每一群昆虫在世界某个特定地区的活动情况)可知，科学家们现在主要是对昆虫进行分类。A. Classifying the insects. (分类昆虫)符合题意。故选A项。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据文章第一句This year, German environmentalists collected 1.75 million signatures for a “save the bees” law requiring an immediate change toward organic farming.(今年，德国环保人士收集了175万个签名，支持一项“拯救蜜蜂”的法律，该法律要求立即向有机农业转变) 开篇点明主题，以“拯救蜜蜂”活动开始，号召全世界的人们关注昆明，拯救昆虫。B. Take Action! Insects Need Protection! (采取行动！昆虫需要保护！) 符合题意。故选B项。‎ ‎【点睛】细节理解题考查的是考生根据材料查找关键信息及重要细节、判断新组成的语句与材料原意是否一致等的能力。主要有以下陷阱“无中生有”，“颠倒黑白”，“断章取义”。如第1小题中，A. Stop building roads in parks and reserves.就属于“断章取义”B. Open up more natural habitats. D. Keep them in a zoo.就属于“颠倒黑白”。所以只能选C项。‎ 第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（共5小题，每题2分，满分10分）‎ When is the last time you slept under the stars and cooked dinner over an open fire?

We helped some patients cleaned their rooms and did everything we could serve them. I noticed a little girl between the patients. Though she was weak, but she was lovely and active. He asked to sing a song for us in return for our kindness. Stood in front of us, she began to sing. Great to our surprise, her voice was so beautifully that it fascinated us all. After that, we had the talk with her. She told us that her wish was to become a singer. We encouraged her to follow her dream.‎ ‎【答案】1. works→work ‎2. cleaned→clean ‎3. could与serve之间加to ‎4. between→among ‎5. 去掉but ‎6. He→She ‎7. Stood→Standing ‎8. Great→Greatly ‎9. beautifully→beautiful ‎10. the→a ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。作者跟几个朋友去医院做义工，在那里见到一个女孩唱歌很好听，想成为一名歌手。‎ ‎【详解】1. 考查名词。句意：前几天，我和几个朋友一起回附近的医院做义工。work作“工作”讲时是不可数名词，所以用单数形式。故将works改为work。‎ ‎2. 考查时态。help sb. do sth.是固定用法，所以用clean的原形。故将cleaned改为clean。‎ ‎3. 考查动词不定式。句意：我们帮助一些病人打扫房间，尽我们所能为他们服务。此处everything we could作did的宾语，应在could后加to表目的。故could与serve之间加to。‎ ‎4. 考查介词。between多指两者之间；among指三者或三者以上的同类事物之间。后面的名词patients指医院的病人，肯定不止两个，所以用介词among。故将between改为among。‎ ‎5. 考查连词。句意：虽然她很虚弱，但她很可爱，很活跃。连词though和but不能连用。故去掉but。‎ ‎6. 考查代词。根据前两句内容可知，此处指代前面提到的a girl，应用代词she。故将He改为She。‎ ‎7. 考查非谓语动词。句意：站在我们面前，她开始唱歌。此处表示伴随状语，主语she与动词stand之间是主动关系，应用现在分词。故将Stood改为Standing。‎ ‎8. 考查副词。句意：令我们大吃一惊的是，她的声音如此优美，使我们大家都着迷。此处应用副词修饰逗号前面的部分。故将Great改为Greatly。‎ ‎9. 考查形容词。so后面形容词，此处应用形容词修饰名词her voice。故将beautifully 改为beautiful。‎ ‎10. 考查冠词。have a talk是固定短语，意为“谈话”。故将the改为a。‎ 第三节 书面表达（满分25分）‎ ‎52.假定你是李华，正在美国学习。你打算利用业余时间做份兼职，并在网上看到了一则餐厅招聘服务员的广告，请你写封求职信，内容包括：‎ ‎1．写信目的；‎ ‎2．工作经验；‎ ‎3. 个人优势。‎ 注意：1．词数100左右；‎ ‎2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。‎ Dear Sir / Madam,‎ ‎_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【答案】Dear Sir / Madam I am writing to apply for the position of waiter at your restaurant, as advertised on the website.
