W: We learned that while studying at Oxford, you worked as a volunteer in Vietnam during summer vacations. Are you going to make what you are learning from Vietnam the subject of your next novel?
M: I can’t say at the moment, I’m afraid. I’m very much interested in the history of Vietnam, though. I plan to work there when I graduate.

B. Spend more time with their children.
C. Pay attention to their own habits.
【答案】17. A 18. A 19. C 20. C
【解析】
【原文】Hello, everyone! Today, I’m here to share with you a study we’ve done recently. In the study, we find children gain weight during the summer. We discover that hot weather, unhealthy food, and playing without a good plan all play a role. What happens to our children during the summer? Before we’re able to answer this question, we have to know something about our children at school. During the school year, children have to follow school rules. For example, they must have regular meal times. But this is no longer true in the summer. As far as I know, a lot of children don’t have breakfast and lunch. They just have one huge meal in the middle of the afternoon. This sort of eating behavior surely leads to weight gain. And also, unhealthy food is everywhere. It’s at schools, homes, and offices. In addition, when parents go to work, children are often left by themselves. They can choose to go outside to play or do some reading at home. But most of them just play computer games. I also want to point out that children’s being overweight has a lot to do with the parents. I advise all parents to watch their own habits. In America, almost 65% of our population is overweight, and two-thirds of our children are being raised by overweight parents.

It was a rainy day. I had no desire to drive up the winding mountain road to my daughter Carolyn’s house. But she had insisted that I come to see something at the top of the mountain.
So here I was, although unwilling to make the two-hour journey through fog and rain. After lunch, my daughter requested me to drive her to Barage. After a ten-minute drive，we parked the car and got out. We walked along a path that was thick with old pine needles. Huge black green evergreens towered over us. Gradually the peace and silence of the place began to fill my mind. Then we turned a corner and stopped--and I gasped in amazement.
From the top of the mountain to the slopes and valleys, were rivers of daffodils(水仙) in full bloom. A sea of amazing colors, like a carpet before us. It looked as though the sun had tipped over and spilled gold down the
mountainside. At the center hung a waterfall of purple hyacinths. Here and there were breathtaking tulips.
A riot of questions filled my mind. Who created such beauty? Why? How?
As we approached the home. We saw a sign that read “Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking.” The first answer was: “One Woman--Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain.”The second was: “One at a Time.”The third: “Started in 1958.”
I was so moved by what we had seen. “She changed the world,” I said, not getting over the shock. “One bulb(球茎) at the time. She started almost 40 years ago, probably just the beginning of an idea, but she kept at it.”
“Imagine,” I added, “if I had a vision and worked at it，just a little hit every day, what might I have accomplished?”
Carolyn looked sideways at me, smiling. “Start tomorrow,” she said,”Better yet, start today.”
24. Why did the author decide to visit her daughter？
A. She missed her very much.
B. She didn’t want to disappoint her.
C. She must pick her up.

B. Well begun, half done.
C. Women can shake the world.
D. Little steps add up to big success.
27. What is the best title of the passage？

Every year, hundreds of millions of Monarch Butterflies (黑脉金斑蝶) from Canada and the United States
journey as far as 2, 500 miles to the forests of Michoacan, Mexico, a place which has the world’s largest insect migration. It’s such a breathtaking sight, but as always, human greed is threatening to destroy it.
The Monarch Butterflies start to arrive in Michoacan in late October to make their winter home in the trees high up in the mountains of the natural reserve. Once there, they gather together in large masses. These masses often become so heavy that they cause tree branches to bend or even break. But there’s a purpose of all these massing - it allows the butterflies to survive in the low nighttime temperatures at these high altitudes.
The Michoacan Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary (保护区) is most impressive during the months of February and March, just before the winged insects begin their long journey home.
Mexico’s Butterfly Forest is a shelter protected by law, and one of the country’s most popular sights, but that hasn’t stopped people from slowly but steadily destroying it.
Illegal woodcutting in the heart of the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve has been a longstanding problem, but criminals are rarely brought to justice. They are often set free after paying some money.
Just last month, an even greater threat rose in Michoacan’s butterfly home. The country’s largest mining corporation gained the right to reopen an old mine in the heart of the monarch reserve. Experts believe that if the mine is reopened, it will likely spell the end of this magical place.
And as if all this wasn’t bad enough, the increasing use of herbicides (除草剂) in the American corn belt has led to the decrease of a plant which is essential to the monarchs’ development from egg into butterfly.
28. When do the Monarch Butterflies begin to fly back to Canada?
A. In January.
B. After March.
C. In October.
D. In December.
29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The weather.
B. The reserve.
C. The massing.
D. The forest.
30. What can we know about the protection of Monarch Butterflies in Mexico?
A. It is very satisfying.
B. It should be strengthened.
C. It cost the government a lot.
D. It has saved many butterflies.
31. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A. Monarch Butterflies have a worrying future.
B. America has many mines waiting for exploration.
C. Monarch Butterflies live in the centre of an old mine.
D. The use of herbicides will let Monarch Butterflies lay fewer eggs.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。

文章主要介绍了每年冬天从加拿大迁徙到墨西哥过冬的黑脉金斑蝶数量减少甚至灭绝的情况。

【28题详解】
细节理解题。

根据文章第三段中“The Michoacan Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary (保护区) is most impressive during the months of February and March, just before the winged insects begin their long journey home.”可知，黑脉金斑蝶一般在二月份或三月份开始飞回加拿大。

结合选项，故选B。

【29题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据文章第二段中“These masses often become so heavy that they cause tree branches to bend or even break. But there’s a purpose of all these massing -it allows the butterflies to survive in the low nighttime temperatures at these high altitudes”可知，此处it指蝴蝶在树上聚集这种行为。

结合选项，故选C。

【30题详解】
推理判断题。

根据文章第四段中“Mexico’s Butterfly Forest is a shelter protected by law, and one of the country’s most popular sights, but that hasn’t stopped people from slowly but steadily destroying it.”以及文章第五段中“Illegal woodcutting in the heart of the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve has been a longstanding problem, but criminals are rarely brought to justice. They are often set free after paying some money”可知，墨西哥的蝴蝶森林是一个受法律保护的庇护所，也是该国最受欢迎的景点之一，但这并没有阻止人们缓慢但稳步地破坏它。

犯罪分子往往在缴纳一定数量的钱后就被释放。

由此可以推断墨西哥对蝴蝶的保护需要加强。

结合选项，故选B。

【31题详解】
推理判断题。

分析文章最后两段可知，这两段主要介绍了黑脉金斑蝶生存的两种情况，且是不容乐观的情
况。

故黑脉金斑蝶的未来是令人担忧的。

结合选项，故选A。

【点睛】推理判断题属于主观题，是层次较高的题目。

它包括判断和推理题。

这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了作出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。

该题要求在理解表面文字的基础上，作出判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含的意思和深层的意思，也就是通过文章中的文字信息，上下逻辑关系
及事物的发展变化等已知的信息，推断出作者没有直接表达的态度和观点。

如本题第3小题，根据文章第四段中“Mexico’s Butterfly Forest is a shelter protected by law, and one of the country’s most popular sights, but that hasn’t stopped people from slowly but steadily destroying it.”以及文章第五段中“Illegal woodcutting in the heart of the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve has been a longstanding problem, but criminals are rarely brought to justice. They are often set free after paying some money”可知，墨西哥的蝴蝶森林是一个受法律保护的庇护所，也是该国最受欢迎的景点之一，但这并没有阻止人们缓慢但稳步地破坏它。

犯罪分子往往在缴纳一定数量的钱后就被释放。

由此可以推断墨西哥对蝴蝶的保护需要加强。

结合选项，故选B。

D
In the near future, IoT (Internet of Things) will drive huge innovation (革新) in the way our food is grown. Plants will have a “voice”, not a human voice, but a voice based on data that can tell people, computers, and machines
when, for example, they are thirsty, or need more sun, medicine, etc. ,
Take vertical (垂直的) farms, for example. Farming is moving indoors where the growth of plants can be monitored and controlled. The facilities are built vertically, so growing areas can be put in piles. This greatly reduces the amount of land needed for farming.
From an IoT point of view, vertical farms are connected in two ways. First, small sensors (传感器) in the soil or connected to plants tell a control system exactly how much light, water, and nutrients are needed to grow the healthiest crops. Sensors will also tell vertical farmers when crops are nearing their peak for harvesting at just the right time to make sure it’s still fresh when it reaches its final destination.
Second vertical farms will be connected to other networks and information systems, including databases that track local demand. For example, local restaurants may input when they need fresh food supplies. And vertical farmers could get that information so they know which crops to grow in what quantities. This type of IoT system would have been unimaginable a generation ago.
Today, vertical farms are being experimented. Yet, the numbers point to a bright future for the industry, especially as the world’s population continues to grow. For example, Green Sense Farms in Chicago is able to harvest
crops 26 times a year using 85 percent less energy, one-tenth the water, and no pesticides. A side benefit of lower energy use is lower CO2 output of two tons per month, with the added benefit of creating 46 pounds of oxygen every day.
32. What is the main idea of the text?
A. V oice machines help plants speak up.
B. Farmers are all turning to vertical farming.
C. IoT has brought great innovation to our future life.
D. Vertical farms driven by IoT are a future for agriculture.
33. How do sensors attached to plants work?
A. By recording farmers harvesting crops.
B. By monitoring farmers working their fields.
C. By analyzing information to preserve crops.
D. By passing information on to a control system.
34. According to Paragraph 4, the IoT system can help ________.
A. expand the output of crops
B. match supply with demand
C. determine the needs of farmers
D. move restaurants onto farms
35. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of vertical farming?
A. Negative.
B. Indifferent.
C. Optimistic.
D. Doubtful.
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. B 35. C
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。

【点睛】如果七选五阅读问题设在段尾时，我们要特别注意与前文的关系，与前文是并列或排比或总分关系。

在这种情况下，通常是该段落要求补全说明本段主题的其他细节，因此，根据段落一致性原则，在原文和选项中找到相关的特征词，通常在选项中会出现表示并列或递进关系的关联词或与前文类似的句式结构，或出现同义词等其他信号线索。

前面的一句与正确答案的第一句是紧密相连的。

要特别注意阅读这样相连的两句，通常会找到关键的线索词句。

如果所选答案是引出下一段的内容，如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联，此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。

认真阅读下一段开头几句，看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。

如果第一段的段尾是空白，要认真阅读，看此处是细节还是主题。

通常文章第一段提出文章的主题，如果在段尾提出主题，会用一些信号如转折词引出来，正确答案中应有这样的特征词。
