体裁 记叙兼说明文 主题 人与社会·社会服务与人际沟通 词数 317 限时 8分钟 A cycling session at Queen Mary homeless women's hostel (寄宿舍) in London starts.Eleven women discuss what they're hoping to achieve in today's session.Then they push their bikes to a basketball court to practise in an off-road environment.Supported by instructors, they practise riding by themselves.Sometimes these women feel a little tired because they take medicine, but they have all made up their mind for cycling training.
Last year Queen Mary approached Sustrans (a charity) to set up a cycling club for women.Many of them have low levels of fitness.All have survived challenging situations ranging from social isolation (孤立) to abusive (虐待的) relationships.The hostel staff, who are experienced mental health experts, try to develop cycling to build the women's confidence and give them access to other fields of society.The hostel is moving away from traditional treatment of mental health with the belief that cycling could be a really useful tool in helping the women live on their own.After the success of a 10-week pilot project, the cycling club received financial support of ￡10,000 to continue the club.
In modern society, homelessness and mental health problems often go hand in hand.Studies have shown that physical activity, including walking and cycling, can be used to overcome and even prevent stress, depression and anxiety.It can be more effective than medical treatment.
Women, however, are less likely than men to take part in physical activity.Women in the UK make nearly three times fewer cycling journeys than men.Two main causes of this are traditional barriers — mostly because women still undertake most household tasks — and fear of judgment.The network of bike routes has been expanded yet the “build it and they will come” approach ignores the fact that not all people start from the same point.Social interventions (干预) are a useful way to achieve equality of access to cycling.

体裁 说明文 (2019·南昌模拟)Fashion is a horrible thing. One day you are cool wearing your flared jeans and the next day you're an idiot. You have nothing else to do, but put your favourite jeans in the shelf to outdated shame. However, now scientists from the University of New South Wales say that your old, worn-out clothes could be turned into building materials — solid panels (嵌板) for floors or walls.
Old, unwanted clothes are actually a huge burden on the environment. They usually end up in a landfill, where they rot away without any use for us, at the same time polluting the environment. Cheap throwaway clothes produce 10 million tons of landfill in the US alone each year. However, we could create new materials by shredding
(撕碎) them. Scientists firstly removed zippers, buttons and other hard pieces, then shredded this old mess of clothing and then added some chemicals to bond these fibers together. The last step was heating and pressing this material to form solid panels. They are strong, water-resistant and not easy to catch fire. Their quality can be further tuned by adding some other materials, such as sawdust, old foam, paper and so on. Different mixtures result in different textures (质地) and colors, some resembling wood, ceramics or stone.
These panels are strong enough to be used on the floor, but their decorative qualities allow them to be used on walls as well. However, scientists still have challenges to overcome before it becomes commercially available. The challenge is consistency — you want your walls to be consistent in color, which is difficult to achieve when the material is so diverse.
Actually, shredded material could also be used as a heat insulator for walls of the buildings, and it could become filling material for toys or some furniture as well. However, turning old clothing into construction materials could become a business, which would drive this recycling process into a new level.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了废旧衣物的重新利用。 5．What do we know about old clothes from paragraph 1? A．They are cool to wear again. B．They cost a lot to be recycled. C．They will be fashionable in time. D．They can be construction materials.

体裁 说明文 主题 人与自然·应对鲨鱼袭击 词数 291 限时 9分钟 (2019·南昌模拟)Summer is a great time to hit the beach, but a few East Coast beach goers have recently had their fun in the sun turned into a nightmare. In July alone, there have been at least five known shark attacks at Carolina beaches. Although shark attacks are actually quite rare, these animals still inspire fear in ocean waters. __9__ Skip feeding time.
__10__ Of course, an attack can happen at any hour of the day or night, but nighttime and its transitions are statistically the worst times to be in the water. It is believed that the lack of visibility during these hours makes it easier for the sharks to mistake you for one of their typical prey animals.
__11__ You don't need to dump shark repellent (驱鲨剂) into the sea when you swim, but it helps to be less attractive as a target. Since sharks tend to attack individuals, swim or surf in groups. Don't wear brightly colored or high-contrast swimwear that is attractive to sharks, and leave the shiny jewelry at home in case of being mistaken for the scales (鳞片) of a fish. __12__ Playfully splashing (泼打戏水) around resembles sharks' prey in trap.
Fight back.
When a shark wants to eat you, you'll know in advance: It will hunch its back, lower its fins, and rush at you in a zigzag pattern. Use your dive knife or anything else you're packing to discourage it. __13__ If you are completely unarmed, punch the shark's super sensitive nose or stab at its eyes or gills. If the shark bites into you, don't give up. Get aggressive and do some damage to the shark. It might just let go.
A．Don't act like dinner.
B．Don't go into the water individually. C．Also watch your movement in the water.
D．Nevertheless, the following three aspects could help. E．If you have a surfboard or bodyboard, use it as a shield.
F．If you actually get trapped, avoid irregular movements and splashing.
G．The time of a day has always been a factor in a possible shark attack on humans. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何躲避和应对鲨鱼的袭击。
9．选D 根据对下文的整体理解可知，此空是一个过渡句，起到承上启下的作用，与上文形成逻辑上的转折关系，引出下文具体的应对策略，故选D项。
10．选G 根据本段小标题“Skip feeding time.”，并结合本段的内容可推知，空处引出下文，即关注鲨鱼出没的时间，故选G项。
11．选A 根据文章结构及空处所在位置可知，空处为段落小标题；结合对本段的整体理解可推知，本段主要警示人们在海边游泳时，不要太招摇，以免引起鲨鱼的注意，与选项A呼应，故选A项。
12．选C 根据空后一句“Playfully splashing (泼打戏水) around resembles sharks' prey in trap.”可推知，空处是对水中举动的警示，故选C项。
13．选E 根据空后两句中“If”的假设可推知，空处也表示一种情况的假设；结合空后的“If you are completely unarmed”可推知，E项“如果你有一个冲浪板或冲浪趴板，把它当作盾牌”符合语境。
Ⅲ.语法填空
(2019·广州调研)A few years ago, after a long morning of sightseeing in New York, my children and I took a rest on a park bench in Central Park.
“Look！” my son said, __14__ (point) to a nearby rubbish bin. That's when we saw a raccoon (浣熊). Quite feeling at home in the big city, he paid us no attention, concentrating only on finding a __15__ (taste) lunch. He sorted through a few options before coming out with a wrapped sandwich __16__ (hold) between his paws. __17__ (surprise), rather than run away, he jumped down and walked casually to a spot on the path, not a metre from __18__ we sat. The children were spellbound, as the raccoon was providing better __19__ (entertain) than any museum. He glanced at us, perhaps checking to see __20__ we were about to steal his lunch. __21__ delicate fingers, he peeled back the layer of plastic wrap until the half-eaten sandwich __22__ (uncover)．
Then he surprised us all. Instead of starting eating his food, he turned to a nearby pool of water and __23__ (dip) his paws in it. With a casual air, he rubbed his paws together underwater for a moment, brushed his fur, and then started gracefully picking at his meal.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，主要叙述了作者与孩子们几年前遇见一只浣熊的经历。 14．pointing 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，动词point与句子的谓语动词said之间没有连词，且point与其逻辑主语“my son”之间为主谓关系，所以用其现在分词形式作状语。
15．tasty 考查形容词。此处修饰名词“lunch”，需用其形容词形式，所以填tasty“美味的”。
16．held 考查非谓语动词。根据语境并分析句子结构可知，hold和其逻辑主语“a wrapped sandwich”之间是动宾关系，故此处应用其过去分词形式作后置定语。
17．Surprisingly 考查副词。句意：令人吃惊的是，他跳下来然后漫不经心地走到路上的一个地点，而没有跑开，离我们坐的地方不到一米。根据句意可知，此处应用其副词形式Surprisingly修饰整个句子。
18．where 考查宾语从句。根据句意并结合句子结构可知，此处应用where引导宾语从句，作介词“from”的宾语。
19．entertainment 考查名词。根据空前的“better”可推知，此处应填其名词形式entertainment，意为“娱乐”，是不可数名词。
20．if/whether 考查宾语从句。句意：他看了我们一眼，也许是想查看我们是否打算偷他的午餐。根据空前的“see”，并结合句意可知，此处应用if/whether“是否”引导宾语从句，作及物动词see的宾语。
21．With 考查介词。根据句意并分析句子结构可知，此处在句中作状语，意为“用”，故填With。
22．was uncovered 考查动词的时态和语态。句意：他用纤细的手指剥去塑料包装层，直到未吃完的三明治露了出来。根据该句中的“peeled back”可知，此处应用一般过去时；且“sandwich”与uncover之间为被动关系，故此处用一般过去时的被动语态。
23．dipped 考查动词的时态。通读全文可知，本文叙述的是发生在过去的事情，且根据空前的“turned to”和并列连词“and”可知，此处用一般过去时。
