My favorite book ，The Secret by Rhonda Byrne，talks about a formula

called“SFF”，which stands for “stopping finding faults”.I used to be a critical person and tried to find faults.I guess I somehow inherited this character from my father.Actually many good qualities of my father are worth admiring except this. My father is the person who constantly looks for mistakes in other people and he thinks no one is perfect in the world.His character created a negative atmosphere in my family.I was the same as my father，so I often felt angry，disappointed，depressed，and lonely in school.

After I had read my favorite book I began to seek“good things” in other people.It has completely altered my life.Now I feel happier，I have more friends，I have more trust in people，and I realize everyone has their own strength! Another important lesson I got from this book is that I should always behave myself in a positive manner.Let’s admit that we sometimes complain about our situation.That’s not good.“Believe it or not，people don’t like to listen to negative opinions.” One more valuable lesson I got from the book is that I should be a good listener.When I was younger，I only wanted people to pay whole attention to my words so that I could show them how important I was.I was very proud and would show off my achievements in school without considering others’ feelings.I had very few friends and most people considered me as an “arrogant” person.Now，I find it much easier to make friends after making some changes!

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文，文中讲述了Rhonda Byrne的书《秘密》对作者人生态度的影响。

4.Why does the author like the book The Secret? A.Because he’s found the secret of success from it. B.Because the book uncovers the secrets of happiness. C.Because he’s learnt his father’s character from it. D.Because it helps him change his attitude towards life.

答案 D [推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“After I had read...in other people”和“Another important lesson I got...in a positive manner”和第四段中的“One more valuable lesson...be a good listener”可知，《秘密》这本书改变了作者的人生态度，故选D项。]

5.What do you know about the author’s father? A.He makes his son feel angry and disappointed. B.He likes finding faults with people around him. C.He seems a critical person but in fact is easy－going. D.He can create a negative atmosphere when necessary.

答案 B [推理判断题。根据第二段中的“My father is the person...in the world”可知，作者的父亲是一个不停地寻找别人错误的人，他认为世界上没有人是完美的，故B项正确。]

6.The underlined word“arrogant” probably means“____”. A.self－important C.troublesome

B.admirable D.cold－blooded

答案 A [词义猜测题。根据该画线词前的“When I was younger...without considering others’ feelings”可知，作者以前为了能够表明自己是多么重要，只希望人们全神贯注于自己说的话。作者在学校非常骄傲，总是不顾及别人的感受而炫耀自己的成绩，因此别人不愿意和他交朋友，大部分的人认为他是一个妄自尊大的(arrogant)人，self－important和arrogant同义，故选A项。] 7.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A.To persuade readers to be good listeners. B.To share his painful changing experience. C.To tell readers the influence of a book on him. D.To show the result of his father’s negative character.

答案 C [写作意图题。根据全文内容可知，本文重点讲述了Rhonda Byrne的书《秘密》对作者人生态度的影响，使其以更积极和谦恭的态度对待别人。因此作者写本篇文章的目的是告诉读者这本书对作者的影响，故选C项。]

C

Koalas normally get the water they need from the eucalyptus(桉树) leaves they eat，but as drought (干旱) and wildfires caused by climate change dry out their food supplies，many koalas are starting to drink water.

Robert Frend，a farmer from New South Wales，Australia，noticed how thirsty the koalas had gotten and helped researchers at the University of Sydney bring them water.Frend invented something called Blinky Drinkers，a water station that attaches to trees so that koalas can drink all they want.

In April 2016，researchers set up 10 of these water stations on the ground and up in the trees on a large piece of land with a sizable population of koalas.They also built up a surveillance(监视) system to see how much the koalas were using the Blinky Drinkers.

What they found was surprising：The koalas drank a lot，even waking up during the day，when they normally sleep，to go drink water from the stations on the ground.All of the Blinky Drinkers were visited—193 times in total.And this was in the fall and winter seasons，when the heat isn’t so severe.

Researchers were excited to find out something new about how animals change their behavior based on climate change—and worried about the future of the koalas. “What will happen when temperatures rise in summer to make the leaves even drier and the koalas require more relief？”Dr Valentina Mella，a researcher in the

University’s School of Life and Environmental Sciences，said.Now that researchers know koalas will accept a drink when offered，this could be a lifeline for koalas in the future，as the planet gets even warmer.“It is believed that koalas are vulnerable when climate changes，because they rely entirely on trees—not only to sleep on but also for eating.”

“I’m a big kid when it comes to koalas.I think they’re lovely animals and I’d hate to see them disappear，”said Frend.“If I can help，well I get a certain amount of enjoyment out of that.Yeah，they’re a lovely species.”

【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。受气候变化的影响，原本只靠吃桉树叶就可以保证充足水分的考拉，现在不得不开始喝水了。 8.What kind of suffering are koalas experiencing? A.Polluted water. B.A lack of water. C.Destroyed habitat. D.A shortage of food.

答案 B [细节理解题。根据第一段中的as drought and wildfires...to drink water可知，由于桉树叶水分减少，不能满足考拉的需求，考拉正遭受缺水的危机。] 9.What did the researchers discover? A.Koalas don’t like summer. B.Koalas don’t like drinking water. C.Koalas get on well with the locals. D.Koalas are adapting to climate change.

答案 D [细节理解题。根据第五段中的animals change their behavior based on climate change可知，为适应气候变化，考拉正逐渐改变自己的生活习性。] 10.What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A.Easily hurt. C.Terribly curious.

B.Really sleepy. D.Badly frightened.

答案 A [词义猜测题。根据第六段中的they rely entirely on trees—not only to sleep on but also for eating可知，考拉基本上以树为生，一旦气候变化对树造成影响，它们很容易受到伤害。] 11.What can be learned about Frend? A.He likes koalas very much. B.He thinks koalas will disappear. C.He encourages children to help koalas. D.He has a positive attitude to koalas’ future.

答案 A [推理判断题。根据最后一段中Frend所说的话可知，他很喜欢考拉，认为考拉是非常可爱的动物，并且很乐意帮助它们。]

Encouraging life to bloom(兴旺) in the middle of a desert is no easy task.But one company in the United Arab Emirates has come up with a plan to provide drinking water for the state’s citizens.The company intends to drag icebergs from Antarctica to the gulf coast in order to harvest its fresh water.

The company plans to source the massive blocks of ice from Heard Island，around 600 miles off the coast of mainland Antarctica.It will then transport them around 5，500 miles to Fujairah，one part of the UAE.One iceberg could provide enough water for one million people over five years，according to the company.

The company’s director says they have already travelled the transportation route and checked the possibility of the scheme，according to reports in Gulf News.Speaking to the site about what he is calling the UAE Iceberg Project，Abdullah Mohammad Sulaiman Al Shehi said，“We have made the technical and financial plan.We will start the project at the beginning of 2018.We want it mainly for the water.It could also be good for tourism and the weather.”

The UAE is one of the driest countries in the world，due to its extremely arid climate，which receives less than four inches of rainfall per year.Despite that，it consumes more water than double the global national average，putting the country at

severe risk of droughts over the next 25 years.

An average iceberg contains more than 20 billion gallons of water，according to the company.The iceberg takes a long time to melt as 80 percent of it is under the water，while the white ice above reflects sunlight and deflects(使转向)its heat.Blocks of ice will be placed in giant tanks，before being processed.“This is the purest water in the world，” Mr Al Shehi added.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，文中介绍了阿联酋有一家公司计划把南极洲的冰山运到附近的海湾，以解决国内的缺水问题。 12.What can we learn about the UAE project? A.It will help the UAE harvest fresh water. B.It will encourage life to boom in Antarctica. C.It will put the UAE at severe risk of droughts. D.It will completely change the climate in the UAE.

答案 A [细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“The company intends to drag...to harvest its fresh water”可知，这个项目会给阿联酋带来淡水。故选A项。] 13.Where could the block of ice come from? A.The Atlantic Ocean. C.The Gulf.

B.Fujairah. D.Heard Island.

答案 D [细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“The company plans to source...the coast of mainland Antarctica”可知，这个公司计划从Heard Island上获取冰山。source在本句中表示“从……获得”。]

14.Which of the following may NOT benefit from the project? A.The local people. C.The weather.

B.Antarctica. D.Tourism.

答案 B [细节理解题。根据文中第二段中的“One iceberg could...over five years”和第三段中的“It could also be good for tourism and the weather”可知，冰山

可以为人们带来淡水，这个项目对旅游业和气候也有利，结合题目要求可知选B项。]

15.The author mentions the nature of ice in the last paragraph to show____. A.the process of the project B.the possibility of the plan C.the purpose of the company D.the comments on the scheme

答案 B [推理判断题。根据最后一段中提到的冰山含有大量的水且融化需要很长时间，再结合“Blocks of ice will be placed in giant tanks before being processed”可以推知，作者在该段提及冰的特性意在表明该计划的可实施性，故选B项。] Ⅱ.阅读七选五

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一些写感恩日志的建议。 1.A [上文提到把你每天感恩的事情写下来，下文提到随着时间的推移，这会使写日志变得更具挑战性，并且你会发现以前几乎没有注意到的值得感谢的事情。A项表示避免重复同样的事情，前后语义衔接，故选A项。]

2.F [下文说，如果你喜欢画画，你可能会感激你所拥有的颜料，或者，如果你喜欢音乐，你可能会感激你的CD收藏。F项表示这些事情会因你的兴趣而有很大不同，前后逻辑一致，其中love to paint和like music与interests对应，故选F项。]

3.B [结合其他段可知，空处位于段首，为段落主题句。下文提到你可以从感激自己活着开始，而B项表示“描述你是如何感激你所拥有的”，符合语境，其中what you have亦为提示，故选B项。]

4.D [本段的主旨是想想你自己的能力。上文提到你可以从感激你有基本的能力开始，如看和听的能力；下文提到思考一些需要技巧的事情，如跳舞和唱歌；前后为递进关系，D项提到然后感激那些你特有的能力，前后语义衔接，故选D项。]

5.C [上文提到把你不喜欢的人写下来，找一个欣赏他们的理由也很好，根据常识及下文可知，空处应表示这可能很难，但非常令人振奋，故选C项。]
