When people wish to interact with a wild creature, an easy method is to attract it with some food. However, feeding wild animals is dangerous and unwise. The first problem is that animals are not meant to eat the same foods as people do. Many cheap human snacks, like fries and bread, are just not good for animals. Also, animals ___2___ are fed by humans will lose their fear of people. This makes them easy targets for hunters,___3___ it’s also possible that they could someday attack people.‎ ‎【答案】1. us 2. that/which 3. and ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章说明了人类热爱我们周围的自然世界，我们喜欢近距离观赏野生世界。当人们希望与野生动物互动时，一个简单的方法就是用食物吸引它。文章说明了喂养野生动物的一些缺点。‎ ‎【1题详解】‎ 考查代词。句意：人类热爱我们周围的自然世界，我们喜欢近距离观赏野生世界。此处为动词surround的宾语，指代“我们”应用代词us。故填us。‎ ‎【2题详解】‎ 考查定语从句。句意：而且，被人类喂养的动物也会失去对人类的恐惧。本句为定语从句修饰先行词animals，且先行词在从句中作主语，指代动物应用关系代词that或which。故填that/which。‎ ‎【3题详解】‎ 考查连词。句意：这使得它们很容易成为猎人的目标，而且它们也有可能在某一天攻击人类。结合上下文语境可知为递进关系，所以用连词and。故填and。‎ B 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写 1 个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。‎ Bob___4___ (sort) through some of his old stuff. During the process, he came across a box full of old toys and journals, as well as some old photos from his childhood. Holding one of the photos, Bob started to look back upon the very day this photo___5___ (take) 30 years ago, and he got really emotional. It was the day he first learned how to ride a bike. In the park, his father patiently pushed his bike from behind as Bob had trouble riding on his own. Bob kept falling from the bike, but his father was always there,___6___(encourage) him. Eventually, he got the hang of it. Bob thought it was the best day of his life at the time.‎ ‎【答案】4. was sorting 5. was taken 6. encouraging ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。作者看到照片，回忆自己30年前学骑自行车的情况。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 考查过去进行时态。句意：鲍勃正在整理他的一些旧东西。根据下文中的During the process可知句子用现在进行时态，且主语是Bob，单数第三人称，故填was sorting。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 考查一般过去时态的被动语态。句意：拿着其中一张照片，鲍勃开始回想起30年前拍摄这张照片的那天，他非常激动。句中the very day this photo______ (take) 30 years ago是定语从句，从句主语this photo是单数第三人称，和take之间是被动关系，再根据30 years ago，可知句子用一般过去时态的被动语态。故填was taken。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 考查现在分词作伴随状语。句意：鲍勃不断从自行车上摔下来，但他的父亲总是在那里鼓励他。句中主语his father和encourage之间是主动关系，是现在分词作伴随状语，故填encouraging。‎ C 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写 1 个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。‎ Recycling paper is a great way to help the environment, but reusing things___7___ (make) from paper is even better.

Some readers have used them to wrap gifts for their friends and family, picking pages with colourful pictures to make the presents look bright.‎ ‎【答案】7. made 8. finish/have finished 9. with 10. different ‎【解析】‎ 本文是说明文。文章以一份杂志为例，介绍了几种重复使用纸张，制成东西的方法。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 考查非谓语动词。句意：回收纸张是保护环境的好方法，但重复使用纸张制成的东西更好。分析句子结构，空后是定语，修饰things；things和make之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，因此用过去分词作后置定语；make是不规则变化动词，过去分词为made。故填made。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 考查时态。句意：一旦你看完了，不要把它放进回收箱。在once引导的时间状语从句中，主句是祈使句，从句用一般现在时表示将来时；根据句意，也可用现在完成时，表示已经完成的动作。故填finish/have finished。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 考查固定短语。句意：相反，你可以考虑和没有看过它的人分享，或者把它送给学校图书馆，这样你的同学就可以看一看。根据句意，是短语share sth. with sb. “和某人分享……”。故填with。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 考查形容词。句意：或者，你可以为杂志的页面找到一个完全不同的用途。修饰名词use，应用形容词形式。故填different。‎ 第二节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，共 30 分）‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ A few days before Christmas 2012, I found myself in Walmart.

She asks it at nursing homes in the Harrison, Arkansas, where she lives. Even more amazing, she then sets out to make the residents’ wishes come true.‎ Ruby Kate has long been close to older folks. Her mother, Amanda Chitsey works at nursing ‎ homes in northwest Arkansas, and Ruby Kate often stays with her in the summer. The Chitseys learned that many nursing home residents are unable to afford even the smallest luxuries. So Ruby Kate decided to do something about it. “I’ve never found them scary at all, so I’m able to just go up to them and ask if they need anything,” she says.‎ She started by asking residents what three things they wanted most in the world. Amanda worried that people would ask for cars and other things an 11-year-old wouldn’t be able to provide. Instead, they asked for chocolate bars, McDonald’s fries, and pants that fit properly.‎ ‎“It broke me as a human,” Amanda says. “We left the nursing home that day and went straight to a store and bought as many items as we could.”‎ Using their own money, the Chitseys granted the wishes of about 100 people in three months. Then they started asking for donations.‎ The good people of Harrison responded enthusiastically, so much that Amanda set up a GoFundMe page, Three Wishes for Ruby’s Residents, hoping to collect $5,000. They hit their goal in a month. After GoFundMe named Ruby Kate a Kid Hero and promoted her story nationwide this past January, Three Wishes raised $‎20,000 in 24 hours and more than $‎250,000 in five months. With those funds, the Chitseys were able to get more creative: One resident asked for a man cave, so they got him a Walkman and stocked his fridge with snacks. Another wanted to go to a friend’s out-of-state wedding; they gave her money for gas and food.‎ Earlier this year, Three Wishes for Ruby’s Residents became a nonprofit and launched its first nationwide chapters. One of its new goals is to set up a communal laptop in one nursing home in each state. Ruby Kate doesn’t plan to stop there. Actually, besides Ruby Kate, more youngsters are involved in helping others as a hobby. At one high school, students turned a single dollar into a truly inspirational act.‎ ‎34. Why did the Chitseys decide to ask and meet the residents’ wishes?‎ A. It was Amanda’s duty to do that. ‎ B. The residents’ stories moved them.‎ C. They wanted to do something for the poor there. ‎ D. They had a close relationship with the residents.‎ ‎35. Amanda said “It broke me as a human,” in Para. 4, probably because _______.‎ A. the wishes were simple B. the wishes were in her plan C. she couldn’t realize the wishes D. she couldn’t help her daughter ‎36. From last two paragraphs, we know the Chitseys _______.‎ A. started a page to get profit ‎ B. wrote stories about nursing homes C. appealed to more people to join them ‎ D. carried out their project across the world ‎37. The story mainly inspires people to _______.‎ A. accompany the senior B. deliver kindness to others C. treasure what they have D. be optimistic toward life ‎【答案】34. C 35. A 36. C 37. B ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。记叙了Ruby Kate Chitsey和她的家人一起帮助养老院的居民实现他们的愿望，得到了许多同样好心的人的支持的事情。‎ ‎【34题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段中The Chitseys learned that many nursing home residents are unable to afford even the smallest luxuries. So Ruby Kate decided to do something about it. “I’ve never found them scary at all, so I’m able to just go up to them and ask if they need anything,” she says.可知Chitseys夫妇了解到，许多养老院的居民连最小的奢侈品都买不起。所以Ruby Kate决定做点什么。她说:“我从没觉得他们很可怕，所以我可以走过去问他们是否需要什么。”由此可知，Chitseys一家决定去询问并满足居民的愿望，是因为他们想为那里的穷人做些事情。故选C。‎ ‎【35题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段中Amanda worried that people would ask for cars and other things an 11-year-old wouldn’t be able to provide. Instead, they asked for chocolate bars, McDonald’s fries, and pants that fit properly.可知Amanda担心人们会向她要汽车和其他一个11岁的孩子无法提供的东西。相反，他们要求要巧克力棒、麦当劳薯条和合身的裤子。由此可推知，Amanda说“It broke me as a human”，可能是因为这些愿望很简单。故选A。‎ ‎【36题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中Three Wishes for Ruby’s Residents, hoping to collect $5,000. They hit their goal in a month. After GoFundMe named Ruby Kate a Kid Hero and promoted her ‎ story nationwide this past January, Three Wishes raised $‎20,000 in 24 hours and more than $‎250,000 in five months.可知“给Ruby居民的三个愿望”希望能募集到5000美元。他们在一个月内达到了目标。今年1月，GoFundMe将Ruby Kate命名为“儿童英雄”，并在全国推广了她的故事。之后，三个愿望在24小时内筹集到了2万美元，在5个月内筹集到了25万美元。以及最后一段中Earlier this year, Three Wishes for Ruby’s Residents became a nonprofit and launched its first nationwide chapters. 可知今年早些时候，“给Ruby居民的三个愿望”成为了一个非营利组织，并在全国范围内成立了第一个分会。由此可推知，Chitseys一家通过募集捐款和成立分会来呼吁更多的人加入他们。故选C。‎ ‎【37题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章内容记叙了Ruby Kate Chitsey和她的家人一起帮助养老院的居民实现他们的愿望，得到了许多同样好心的人的支持的事情。由此可推知，这个故事主要是激励人们向他人传递爱心和善意。故选B。‎ C Infections that cross over from other species are a deadly problem. The new coronavirus(冠状病毒) is the latest example of a disease that jumped from animals into humans. When infections do this, they can be deadly—and 2019-nCoV is no exception.‎ Nearly all viruses and bacteria that infect other organisms are completely harmless to people. But a tiny proportion can infect us and cause so-called zoonotic diseases, which come from animals rather than people. Such diseases are a massive problem. They make around 2.5 billion people ill every year and kill 2.7 million. Not all zoonotic diseases cause serious illness, but the Ebola virus, for example, currently kills most of those it infects.‎ One reason zoonotic viruses can be this deadly is that we lack pre-existing immunity( 免疫) to them. Another is that these viruses aren’t adapted to humans. Viruses that normally circulate among people can develop to become less deadly, as this helps them spread. “They don’t want you to drop dead within a day because you won’t pass it to anyone else,” says Chris Coleman at the University of Nottingham, UK.‎ To get infected, people need to come into contact with the animal the virus usually infects. This is most likely with domesticated animals. Camels carry the MERS coronavirus that causes sporadic human cases, for instance.‎ Many viruses that jump into people, like MERS, seldom spread from person to person. They ‎ can still infect thousands, though. Rabies is mostly passed on by dog bites, but kills 60,000 people a year. Others, such as Ebola, can spread from person to person, but aren’t very good at it and so cause relatively small outbreaks. The 2019 coronavirus, by contrast, appears quite good at spreading from person to person. We don’t know how deadly it is yet.‎ Biologists have been warning for decades about the risks of animal viruses spreading to people. There is good reason to worry. The last global pandemic(传染病), the 2009 flu that killed up to 400,000 people, was caused by a strain of flu that came from pigs. And that flu is thought to be a descendant of the 1918 flu, which came from birds. HIV, which has infected about 75 million people, is now thought of as a human virus. But it jumped from chimpanzees into humans relatively recently, in the 1930s.‎ Coleman thinks there is little we can do to stop people coming into contact with animals that may carry dangerous viruses. “It’s very difficult to control that,” he says. Instead, he says we need to have vaccines( 疫苗) ready in advance. This could mean creating vaccines that are effective against a wide range of viruses and developing vaccines that require only minor changes to work against a new viral strain, much like annual flu vaccines.‎ ‎38. What does the underlined word “circulate” in Para. 3 probably mean?‎ A. Pass on. B. Attack each other.‎ C. Die away. D. Work together.‎ ‎39. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. People must keep away from wild animals.‎ B. The majority of viruses are a massive problem.‎ C. The 2009 flu had no connection with the 1918 flu.‎ D. Vaccines are an effective option to fight against viruses.‎ ‎40. The passage mainly aims to _______.‎ A. analyze the origins of viruses B. explain the consequence of diseases C. draw people’s attention to zoonotic viruses D. persuade people to protect the wild animals ‎41. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?‎ A. How Are Vaccines Made?‎ B. Viruses Infected from Animals C. A Global Health Emergency D. Why Isn’t There a Coronavirus Vaccine Yet?‎ ‎【答案】38. A 39. D 40. C 41. B ‎【解析】‎ 本文是说明文。文章介绍了来自动物的人畜共患疾病致命的原因，并列举出历史上从动物传染给人类的一些病毒，以警告人们动物病毒传播给人类所带来的风险。‎ ‎【38题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据划线词后的句子“…as this helps them spread. “They don’t want you to drop dead within a day because you won’t pass it to anyone else,”（ 因为这有助于它们的传播。 “它们（病毒）不希望你在一天之内就死掉，因为你不会把它传给其他人。）”，句中的spread和pass it to anyone else 意思为“传播”。因此可以推测，circulate意思为“传播”。故选A项。‎ ‎【39题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“he says we need to have vaccines( 疫苗) ready in advance. This could mean creating vaccines that are effective against a wide range of viruses and developing vaccines that require only minor changes to work against a new viral strain,（科尔曼认为我们需要疫苗提前做好准备。这可能意味着要研制能够有效对抗多种病毒的疫苗，以及开发只需稍加改变就能对付新病毒毒株的疫苗。）”可知，研发疫苗是对抗病毒的有效选择。故选D项。‎ ‎【40题详解】‎ 推理判断题。文章第二段中“a tiny proportion can infect us and cause so-called zoonotic diseases,”说明了一小部分感染其他生物体的病毒和细菌会感染我们，引发人畜共患疾病；第三段中提到人畜共患疾病致命的原因“One reason zoonotic viruses can be this deadly is that we lack pre-existing immunity( 免疫) to them. Another is that these viruses aren’t adapted to humans.（人畜共患病毒可能致命的一个原因是我们缺乏预存免疫力。另一个原因是这些病毒不适应人类。）”；第六段提出生物学家一直在警告动物病毒传播给人类的风险。文章是关于人畜共患疾病的致命原因和风险。因此文章的目的是引起人们对人畜共患病毒的关注。故选C项。‎ ‎【41题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。文章首句提出“Infections that cross over from other species are a deadly problem. （来自其他物种的感染是一个致命的问题）”。下文介绍了从动物到人类传染的疾病——‎ 人畜共患疾病的致命的原因，并且举出曾经发生过的动物传播给人类的病毒的例子。因此文章是关于从动物传播到人类的病毒，标题应该为“从动物感染的病毒”。故选B项。‎ D How many more people can we squeeze onto our fragile planet? Surely, the Earth must be full? Pretending that human numbers can grow forever, with no ill-effects, is at best innocent and at worst utterly irresponsible.‎ Biodiversity loss, climate change, pollution, deforestation, water and food shortages — these are all worsened by our huge and ever-increasing numbers. Yet governments and most environmental groups choose to sidestep this giant elephant in the room. The human population was just 2.6 billion in 1950. But it has been 7.7 billion today and according to the UN it will reach 9.7 billion by 2050 and 11.2 billion by the end of the century. Where will so many people live? How will we feed them?‎ Unless we diffuse this “population bomb”, by the end of the century we will need several Earths to survive. But we can’t have several Earths, and so we will face a future of increasing poverty, food shortages, conflict and environmental degradation.‎ Admittedly, not everyone agrees with the UN’s predictions. But even the doubters calculate that the human population will grow to 8 or 9 billion sometime between 2040 and 2060. Ultimately, there has to be a limit.‎ The good news is that the human populations of about two dozen countries, from Poland and Italy to Cuba and Japan, are now decreasing. But that’s not true of most countries. The cradle of overpopulation is in Africa, which is where more than half of global population growth is expected to occur: from 1.3 billion people in 2020 to 4.3 billion in 2100.‎ The solution isn’t rocket science. There are two drivers of population growth: birth rates and longevity. We all aim to grow old, after all, but we can reduce birth rates. That’s not to say that anyone should be denied the right to have many children as they like. But it’s a fact that wherever women are empowered and literated, have help with family planning and have access to medical care, they generally choose to have fewer children. And the birth rate falls.‎ So why the stony silence? Why such a failure of leadership from governments and environmental groups? I think it’s for two reasons. First, calls for population control are often believed racist: relatively rich people in the developed world blaming poor people in the ‎ developing world. Second, it is often thought insincere. The problem is as much about consumerism as it is about population growth: westerners are consuming more and more, so it appears as if they are blaming the poor for the excesses of the rich. Most population growth is, indeed, taking place among those who consume almost nothing. But the uncomfortable truth is that we all need to consume much less.‎ Whatever the complications, we urgently need a UN Framework Convention on Population, just as we have for climate change. Either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us.‎ ‎42. What are the first three paragraphs mainly about?‎ A. Environmental degradation made by humans.‎ B. The increasing poverty coming with illnesses.‎ C. The problems resulting from the growing population.‎ D. Water shortages caused by climate change and pollution.‎ ‎43. How do governments react to human population?‎ A. They are too busy with other problems to solve it.‎ B. They avoid seeking solutions to reduce population.‎ C. They know the consequence and face the problem.‎ D. They think the population will decline in the future.‎ ‎44. What is practical for birth control according to the passage?‎ A. Consuming much less than before.‎ B. Removing the right to have more children.‎ C. Decreasing population in developed areas.‎ D. Educating women and providing health care.‎ ‎45. What is the author’s attitude to the ever-increasing human population?‎ A. Neutral. B. Concerned.‎ C. Skeptical. D. Indifferent.‎ ‎【答案】42. C 43. B 44. D 45. B ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。人口增长会带来各种问题，这些都会因我们庞大且不断增加的人口数量而更加恶化。无论问题有多复杂，我们都迫切需要一个联合国人口框架公约，就像我们对气候变化所做的那样。要么我们限制人口增长，要么自然世界替我们做这件事。‎ ‎【42题详解】‎ 段落大意题。根据第一段中Pretending that human numbers can grow forever, with no ill-effects, is at best innocent and at worst utterly irresponsible.“假装人口数量会永远增长，不会产生不良影响，往好里说是无辜的，往坏里说是完全不负责任的。”第二段中Biodiversity loss, climate change, pollution, deforestation, water and food shortages — these are all worsened by our huge and ever-increasing numbers. “生物多样性丧失、气候变化、污染、森林砍伐、水和粮食短缺——这些都因我们庞大且不断增加的人口数量而更加恶化。”和第三段Unless we diffuse this “population bomb”, by the end of the century we will need several Earths to survive.“除非我们扩散这颗“人口炸弹”，否则到本世纪末，我们将需要几个地球才能生存。”由此可知，前三段讲述的是人口增长所带来的各种问题。故选C。‎ ‎【43题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段中Yet governments and most environmental groups choose to sidestep this giant elephant in the room.“然而，各国政府和大多数环保组织都选择回避这个棘手的问题。”由此可知，政府避免寻求减少人口的解决方案。故选B。‎ ‎【44题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第六段中But it’s a fact that wherever women are empowered and literated, have help with family planning and have access to medical care, they generally choose to have fewer children. And the birth rate falls.“但事实是，无论妇女在哪里获得权力和知识，在计划生育方面得到帮助，获得医疗保健，她们通常会选择少生孩子。出生率下降。”由此可知，根据这篇文章，教育妇女和提供保健是节育的实用方法。故选D。‎ ‎【45题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段Whatever the complications, we urgently need a UN Framework Convention on Population, just as we have for climate change. Either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us.“无论问题有多复杂，我们都迫切需要一个联合国人口框架公约，就像我们对气候变化所做的那样。要么我们限制人口增长，要么自然世界替我们做这件事。”由此可知，作者对日益增长的人口持“关心的”态度。故选B。‎ 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，共 10 分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。‎ All book writing has to start somewhere, and the best place to kick off your manuscript (原稿) is by coming up with a great idea.___46___ It can be an article you read from your local newspaper, a conversation you overheard at Starbucks, a recent experience you had during a vacation, etc. Your overall idea should be narrowed down to one-to-two paragraphs, similar to the back cover copy you find on most books. When writing books, the idea is king. Always remember that.‎ ‎___47___ This doesn’t just mean fictional characters—memoirs (回忆录) and nonfiction books still have characters, even if those characters are based on real people. When you write your own book, you must ask yourself what makes this character unique, what is the No. 1 thing this character wants and what difficulties must he or she overcome to reach it. Readers love imperfect, yet relatable characters.‎ ‎___48___‎ Maybe the most crucial step in the steps to writing a book, setting a deadline and sticking to it is essential. ____49____ Too many writers say they are going to write a book and, after starting strong, find excuses as to why they stopped (or are on a super-long pause from writing books). There are definitely reasonable reasons that could prevent you from book writing—help needed in the family, a health issue, etc. But if you’re serious about writing a book, you have to make time for it. Deadlines will push you to do just that.‎ You can spend as much time as you want reading tips for writing a book, how to write books and how to edit your novel—and you should spend some time doing that. You should invest in studying the craft and learning how to write a bestseller.___50___ Do it during your lunch break. Do it while waiting for the kids at soccer practice. Do it after everyone goes to bed. There’s no official book writing model, there’s just you, a pen and a paper (or a computer, of course).‎ A. Strive to make your characters as interesting as possible.‎ B. But you’ll never write a book if you don’t spend time writing.‎ C. Now discover our best tips for how to write a book effectively.‎ D. It’s time to further your writing career by diving deeper into deadline.‎ E. Book ideas come in all shapes and sizes and can be found anywhere.‎ F. It’s the difference between serious writers and those who are merely dreamers.‎ G. How to start writing a book begins with an idea, but your idea needs to be carried out with ‎ well-developed characters.‎ ‎【答案】46. E 47. G 48. A 49. F 50. B ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。所有的写书都要从某个地方开始，而开始写手稿的最好地方就是想出一个好主意。文章主要就如何写出一本书提出了一些建议。‎ ‎【46题详解】‎ 根据后文It can be an article you read from your local newspaper, a conversation you overheard at Starbucks, a recent experience you had during a vacation, etc.可知可以是你在当地报纸上读到的一篇文章，在星巴克无意中听到的一段对话，最近一次度假的经历等等。由此可知，书的想法随处可见，形式各不相同。故E选项“书的想法有各种各样的形式和大小，而且随处可见”符合上下文语境，故选E。‎ ‎【47题详解】‎ 根据后文This doesn’t just mean fictional characters—memoirs and nonfiction books still have characters, even if those characters are based on real people. When you write your own book, you must ask yourself what makes this character unique, what is the No. 1 thing this character wants and what difficulties must he or she overcome to reach it. Readers love imperfect, yet relatable characters.可知这不仅仅意味着虚构的人物——回忆录和非虚构类书籍仍然有人物，即使这些人物是基于真实的人。当你写自己的书时，你必须问问自己是什么让这个角色与众不同，这个角色最想要的是什么，为了达到这个目标他或她必须克服什么困难。读者喜欢不完美但能引起共鸣的角色。由此可知，要想写一本书，首先你要用文字来完善你的想法。故G选项“如何开始写一本书从一个想法开始，但是你的想法需要用完善的文字来实现”符合上下文语境，故选G。‎ ‎【48题详解】‎ 根据上文Readers love imperfect, yet relatable characters.可知读者喜欢不完美但能引起共鸣角色。由此可知，本句承接上文说明如何创造角色。上文中characters可对应到A选项中characters。故A选项“努力让你的角色尽可能有趣”符合上下文语境，故选A。‎ ‎【49题详解】‎ 根据上文Maybe the most crucial step in the steps to writing a book, setting a deadline and sticking to it is essential.可知也许在写书的步骤中最关键的一步是，设定一个期限并坚持完成它是至关重要的。以及后文Too many writers say they are going to write a book and, after starting ‎ strong, find excuses as to why they stopped (or are on a super-long pause from writing books).可知很多作家说他们打算写一本书，在开始的时候很强烈，然后找借口说为什么他们不写了（或者长时间不写书）。由此可知，设定一个写书期限并坚持完成它是至关重要的，这也是严肃作家和那些找借口不去实践的梦想家的区别。故F选项“这就是严肃作家和梦想家的区别”符合上下文语境，故选F。‎ ‎【50题详解】‎ 结合上文You can spend as much time as you want reading tips for writing a book, how to write books and how to edit your novel—and you should spend some time doing that.可知你可以花多少时间阅读写书的技巧，如何写书，如何编辑你的小说——而且你应该花些时间去做这些。由此可知，本段旨在强调写书需要投入实践，如果不花时间，永远写不出一本书。上文中spend some time可对应到B选项spend time。故B选项“但如果你不花时间写作，你永远写不出一本书”符合上下文语境，故选B。‎ 第三部分：书面表达（共两节，35 分）‎ 第一节（15 分）‎ ‎51.假设你是红星中学高三学生李华，你的英国笔友 Jim 在邮件中谈到近年来全球掀起的剩食运动（Waste No Food Movement），例如：推行打包及食物共享文化、鼓励购买即期品，并将厨余分类回收后加以利用。请你回邮件，说明你对此现象的看法，内容包括：‎ ‎1. 你对剩食运动的看法；‎ ‎2. 你或者你周围人做法。‎ 注意 ：1．词数不少于50；‎ ‎2．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。‎ 提示词： leftover n. 剩余食物; adj. 剩余的 Dear Jim,‎ ‎__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua ‎【答案】Dear Jim,‎ It’s great to hear from you. I’m strongly supportive of “Waste No Food Movement” for the following two reasons.‎ To begin with, food shortage is a problem concerning the whole world, so we should take every small action to save food. Besides, the movement appeals to people to classify and recycle food waste, which is obviously wonderful to protect the environment.‎ In my life, I’ve witnessed many practical acts. For example, while eating outside, we tend to pack leftovers. Nowadays, more and more Chinese are practicing garbage classification.
