A
College visits are important. Before you commit years of your life and money to a school, be sure you’re choosing a place that is a good match for your personality and interests. You can’t get the “feel” of a school from any guidebook, so be sure to visit the campus. Below are a few tips for getting the most out of your college visit.
Explore on Your Own
Of course you should take the official campus tour, but be sure to allow time to hang around on your own. The trained tour guides will show you a school’s selling points. But the oldest and prettiest buildings don’t give you the entire picture of a college. Try to walk the extra mile and get the complete picture of the campus.
Read the Bulletin Boards
When you visit the student center, academic buildings and residence halls, take a few minutes to read the bulletin boards. They provide an easy way to see what’s happening on campus. The ads for lectures, clubs and plays can tell you what’s going on outside the classrooms.
Eat in the Dining Hall
You can get a good feel for student life by eating in the dining hall. Try to sit with students if you can. Do the students seem happy or stressed Also, is the food good Are there adequate healthy options Many admission offices will give prospective students coupons (优惠券) for free meals in the dining halls.
Visit a Class in Your Major
If you know what you want to study a class visit makes a lot of sense. You’ll get to observe other students in your field and see how involved they are in classroom discussion. Try to stay after class for a few minutes and chat with the students to get their impressions of their professors and major. Be sure to call in advance to schedule a classroom visit — most colleges don’t allow visitors to drop in at class unannounced.
Talk to Lots of Students
Your campus tour guide has been trained to market the school. Try to talk to students who aren’t getting paid to impress you. These important conversations can often provide you with information about college life that isn’t part of the admission script. Few university officials will tell you if their students spend all weekend drinking or studying, but a group of random students might.
For more tips, please go to collegeapps..
1. The best way to know about a college in an official campus tour is ________.
A. to walk around the campus alone
B. to take pictures of the campus
C. to visit the oldest and prettiest buildings
D. to hire a trained tour guide
2. If you plan to attend a class on campus, ________.
A. drop in at a class in your major
B. have talks with students before class
C. make an appointment in advance
D. ask the professor for permission
3. To get a real idea of the college during a visit, it’s best to talk to ________.
A. famous professors B. campus tour guides
C. admission officers D. random students
B
A good conversation should proceed like a tennis match: players each take turns responding, knowing instinctively (本能) when to speak and when to listen. This kind of complicated and back-and-forth talk is often considered to be possessed only by humans. However, according to a recent study, animals also seem to know when to speak and when to listen.
The study involved over 300 animals including birds, mammals (哺乳动物), insects, and frogs which practice turn-taking behavior. These animals alternate their call and response in a similar way humans communicate. Monkeys, for example, often exchange calls to locate each other in the wild and figure out whether they know one another.
While forms of communication are mostly sound-based, several species have more creative forms of viewable communication. Baby monkeys let their parents know they want to be carried with arm gestures, while birds, insects and frogs can get their messages across through colorful displays.
Kobin Kendrick, the main co-author on the study, says that making comparisons among animals that take tums when communicating can give us a better understanding of how this feature evolved in humans and our ancestors. “We know very little about the evolution and origin of the human language, so any possibility of gaining insight into it is worth going after,” he says.
Additionally, while the idea of turn-taking might bring to mind a picture of orderly, well-mannered animals, Kendrick stresses that this isn’t always the case. Owl (猫头鹰) chicks may try to outdo each other by making louder sounds in an effort to attract favor from their mothers during feeding. “This can be seen as an exception to the rule, highlighting the importance of turn-taking in general,” says Kendrick.
One problem with the study is that researchers themselves don’t know how to communicate with others outside their particular species of interest. Kendrick stresses another goal of the study is to create a wider framework that can bring together all the different researches on turn-taking, allowing scientists to conduct more cross-species comparisons. “We all believe strongly these fields can benefit from each other, and we hope the study will drive more crosstalk between humans and animals in the future,” says Kendrick.
4. What can we learn about the turn-taking behavior
A. It is a unique human quality.
B. It is an acquired athletic skill.
C. It occurs between familiar relations.
D. It features complexity and interaction.
5. Which of the following is a form of visual intercommunication
A. Frogs show skin colors.
B. Bees release smells.
C. Eagles scream in the sky.
D. Monkeys exchange calls.
6. Why are “owl chicks” mentioned in paragraph 5
A. To propose a definition.
B. To give a contrast.
C. To present an argument.
D. To make a prediction.
7. What aspect of research does the last paragraph highlight
A. Research budget.
B. Research range.
C. Research frequency.
D. Research background.
C
Everyone needs it,but no one wants to ask for it.“Help” has become a sort of dirty word,implying weakness and neediness,that we can’t handle our problems on our own. However,whether it is for your physical,mental or academic health,getting wordsof advice or encouragement from an outside-source can make all the difference.
During a time of such uncertainty,the frequency of people requesting help for anxiety and depression has increased.The current situation has made people realize that asking for help from professionals is the best way to get their problems off their chests and their minds on the road to wellness.
Still,requesting help carries a societal weight. The British Psychology Soeiety found that two types of stigmas(耻辱)exist:public stigma and self stigma. A “public stigma” is external,a collection of beliefs from around us,which holds a heavy weight on our ideas on seeking help. A “self stigma” is internal,assigning ourselves labels based on our state of mental health,claiming we are worthless and undeserving of help.“Public”and“self”stigmas go hand in hand,and when we hear the stigmas being voiced by those around us,we tend to apply them to ourselves because of social influences.
To be our better selves,we have to break the stigma around“help”and accept the fact that some problems are too ough to overcome on our own. If we fail elevant necessity of getting ourselves ‘assistance in times of need. Despite what society may tell us,it’s not odd or wrong o get help—it’s probably one of the most insightful and courageous things we can do for ourselves.
Each one of us should be able to openly admit that we need help. Sometimes we need support,and that isn’t bad—’s healthy,and remarkably brave.
8. Why is“help”considered a dirty word
A. It has bad impacts on our health.
B. It makes us confused by an outside source.
C. It prevents us from handling our problems.
D. It implies our inability to solve problems alone.
9. What can we know about two types of stigmas according to Paragraph 3
A. We can’t ignore the two stigmas. B. Public stigma weighs over self stigma.
C. We are easily affected by public stigma. D. The two stigmas are based on mental health.
10. What is the benefit of breaking the stigma around“help”
A. Improving ourselves. B. Becoming more confident.
C. Overcoming problems by ourselves. D. Facing problems bravely.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Help:A Dirty Word B. Help:Feel Free to Seek It
C. Help:A Way to Better Us D. Help:Keep a Distance from It
D
Both Roberto and Keith have a 45-minute commute(通勤) time from their homes to their workplace. When Roberto drives, he has realistic expectations of how others drive and how long the trip should take. Overall, he is able to adapt to any unexpected challenges he may face on the road. He rarely becomes angry. By contrast, Keith drives with a tendency for becoming angry easily, partly due to unrealistic expectations of other drivers, his quickness to personalize and feel threatened by the actions of others, and his inability to calm his anger.
The difference between how Roberto and Keith experience their drive to work, especially with regard to getting angry, is influenced very much by their emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is crucial for helping individuals choose constructive over destructive anger. A key aspect of healthy anger is being able to pause and reflect on, rather than react to, our thoughts, feelings, and senses associated with getting angry.
Self-regulation and empathy(同理心) are two important components of emotional intelligence, which can be a buffer(缓冲) against destructive anger. Self-regulation helps us to control our moods. Empathy helps us to recognize the humanity in others and ourselves.
Studies suggest that training in emotional intelligence can powerfully impact how anger is managed. This was supported by a three-year study of 476 young adults who showed reduced tendency of becoming angry after training. Children and adults can learn skills to boost their emotional intelligence and, by doing so, develop adaptability for dealing with various negative affect, including anger. Many workbooks offer skills in emotional intelligence to promote empathy and self-awareness regarding emotions and how they impact our beliefs and behavior.
Clearly, through training, Keith would experience greater emotional flexibility that could support a more peaceful commute to work. I firmly believe that learning skills in emotional intelligence should be the focus in helping individuals more constructively manage this highly challenging and complex emotion.
12. What is the function of the first paragraph
A. To tell a true story. B. To make a comparison.
C. To introduce the main topic. D. To present an important finding.
13. Which of the following is the main point of healthy anger
A. Thinking over the annoying situation.
B Taking action to deal with the awful situation.
C. Turning a blind eye to the unwelcome situation.
D. Expressing feelings about the disturbing situation.
14 What is the author’s attitude towards training in emotional intelligence
A. Tolerant. B. Doubtful.
C. Negative. D. Supportive.
15. What is the suitable title of the text
A. Friends Should Enjoy Peaceful Commute
B. Drivers Need to Boost Their Emotional Intelligence
C. Emotional Intelligence Is a Buffer Against Destructive Anger
D. Emotional Intelligence Has a Powerful Impact on People’s Life

A good conversation should proceed like a tennis match: players each take turns responding, knowing instinctively (本能) when to speak and when to listen. This kind of complicated and back-and-forth talk is often considered to be possessed only by humans. However, according to a recent study, animals also seem to know when to speak and when to listen.
The study involved over 300 animals including birds, mammals (哺乳动物), insects, and frogs which practice turn-taking behavior. These animals alternate their call and response in a similar way humans communicate. Monkeys, for example, often exchange calls to locate each other in the wild and figure out whether they know one another.
While forms of communication are mostly sound-based, several species have more creative forms of viewable communication. Baby monkeys let their parents know they want to be carried with arm gestures, while birds, insects and frogs can get their messages across through colorful displays.
Kobin Kendrick, the main co-author on the study, says that making comparisons among animals that take tums when communicating can give us a better understanding of how this feature evolved in humans and our ancestors. “We know very little about the evolution and origin of the human language, so any possibility of gaining insight into it is worth going after,” he says.
Additionally, while the idea of turn-taking might bring to mind a picture of orderly, well-mannered animals, Kendrick stresses that this isn’t always the case. Owl (猫头鹰) chicks may try to outdo each other by making louder sounds in an effort to attract favor from their mothers during feeding. “This can be seen as an exception to the rule, highlighting the importance of turn-taking in general,” says Kendrick.
One problem with the study is that researchers themselves don’t know how to communicate with others outside their particular species of interest. Kendrick stresses another goal of the study is to create a wider framework that can bring together all the different researches on turn-taking, allowing scientists to conduct more cross-species comparisons. “We all believe strongly these fields can benefit from each other, and we hope the study will drive more crosstalk between humans and animals in the future,” says Kendrick.
4. What can we learn about the turn-taking behavior
A. It is a unique human quality.
B. It is an acquired athletic skill.
C. It occurs between familiar relations.
D. It features complexity and interaction.
5. Which of the following is a form of visual intercommunication
A. Frogs show skin colors.
B. Bees release smells.
C. Eagles scream in the sky.
D. Monkeys exchange calls.
6. Why are “owl chicks” mentioned in paragraph 5
A. To propose a definition.
B. To give a contrast.
C. To present an argument.
D. To make a prediction.
7. What aspect of research does the last paragraph highlight
A. Research budget.
B. Research range.
C. Research frequency.
D. Research background.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了一项新的研究发现动物似乎也能像人一样，知道在交谈中什么时候该说话，什么时候该听。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A good conversation should proceed like a tennis match: players each take turns responding, knowing instinctively when to speak and when to listen. This kind of complicated and back-and-forth talk is often considered to be possessed only by humans.(一场好的谈话应该像一场网球比赛一样进行：球员们轮流做出反应，本能地知道什么时候该说，什么时候该听。这种复杂而反复的谈话通常被认为只有人类才拥有)”可知，我们能从轮流行为中了解到，它具有复杂性和交互性。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“While forms of communication are mostly sound-based, several species have more creative forms of viewable communication. Baby monkeys let their parents know they want to be carried with arm gestures, while birds, insects and frogs can get their messages across through colorful displays.(虽然交流形式主要是基于声音，但一些物种有更有创意的可视交流形式。猴子宝宝用手势让父母知道它们想被抱着，而鸟类、昆虫和青蛙可以通过彩色的展示来传达信息)”结合选项可知，青蛙展示皮肤颜色属于视觉交流的一种形式。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Additionally, while the idea of turn-taking might bring to mind a picture of orderly, well-mannered animals, Kendrick stresses that this isn’t always the case. Owl chicks may try to outdo each other by making louder sounds in an effort to attract favor from their mothers during feeding. “This can be seen as an exception to the rule, highlighting the importance of turn-taking in general,” says Kendrick.(此外，虽然轮流的想法可能会让人想到一幅有序、彬彬有礼的动物画面，但肯德里克强调，情况并非总是如此。在喂食过程中，猫头鹰雏鸟可能会试图通过发出更大的声音来吸引母亲的青睐。Kendrick说：“这可以被视为规则的一个例外，突出了轮流的重要性。”)”可知，第5段提到了“owl chicks”是为了和有序、彬彬有礼的动物画面做对比。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“One problem with the study is that researchers themselves don’t know how to communicate with others outside their particular species of interest. Kendrick stresses another goal of the study is to create a wider framework that can bring together all the different researches on turn-taking, allowing scientists to conduct more cross-species comparisons. “We all believe strongly these fields can benefit from each other, and we hope the study will drive more crosstalk between humans and animals in the future,” says Kendrick.(这项研究一个问题是，研究人员自己不知道如何与他们感兴趣的特定物种之外的其他人交流。Kendrick强调，这项研究的另一个目标是创建一个更广泛的框架，将所有不同的轮转研究汇集在一起，使科学家能够进行更多的跨物种比较。Kendrick说：“我们都坚信这些领域可以相互受益，我们希望这项研究将在未来推动人类和动物之间更多的交流。”)”可知，最后一段强调了研究的目标，也就是研究范围。故选B项。
C
Everyone needs it,but no one wants to ask for it.“Help” has become a sort of dirty word,implying weakness and neediness,that we can’t handle our problems on our own. However,whether it is for your physical,mental or academic health,getting wordsof advice or encouragement from an outside-source can make all the difference.
During a time of such uncertainty,the frequency of people requesting help for anxiety and depression has increased.The current situation has made people realize that asking for help from professionals is the best way to get their problems off their chests and their minds on the road to wellness.
Still,requesting help carries a societal weight. The British Psychology Soeiety found that two types of stigmas(耻辱)exist:public stigma and self stigma. A “public stigma” is external,a collection of beliefs from around us,which holds a heavy weight on our ideas on seeking help. A “self stigma” is internal,assigning ourselves labels based on our state of mental health,claiming we are worthless and undeserving of help.“Public”and“self”stigmas go hand in hand,and when we hear the stigmas being voiced by those around us,we tend to apply them to ourselves because of social influences.
To be our better selves,we have to break the stigma around“help”and accept the fact that some problems are too ough to overcome on our own. If we fail elevant necessity of getting ourselves ‘assistance in times of need. Despite what society may tell us,it’s not odd or wrong o get help—it’s probably one of the most insightful and courageous things we can do for ourselves.
Each one of us should be able to openly admit that we need help. Sometimes we need support,and that isn’t bad—’s healthy,and remarkably brave.
8. Why is“help”considered a dirty word
A. It has bad impacts on our health.
B. It makes us confused by an outside source.
C. It prevents us from handling our problems.
D. It implies our inability to solve problems alone.
9. What can we know about two types of stigmas according to Paragraph 3
A. We can’t ignore the two stigmas. B. Public stigma weighs over self stigma.
C. We are easily affected by public stigma. D. The two stigmas are based on mental health.
10. What is the benefit of breaking the stigma around“help”
A. Improving ourselves. B. Becoming more confident.
C. Overcoming problems by ourselves. D. Facing problems bravely.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Help:A Dirty Word B. Help:Feel Free to Seek It
C. Help:A Way to Better Us D. Help:Keep a Distance from It
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为议论文。主要告诉我们当一个人处于困难时，寻求帮助并不是一件令人羞耻的事情。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段第二句““Help” has become a sort of dirty word,implying weakness and neediness,that we can’t handle our problems on our own. (“帮助”已经成为一个肮脏的词，意味着软弱和需要，我们无法独自处理我们的问题)”可知大家不愿寻求帮助是因为这意味着我们没能力自己解决问题。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段最后一句话““Public” and “self” stigmas go hand in hand, and when we hear the stigmas being voiced by those around us, we tend to apply them to ourselves because of social influences. (“公共”和“自我”的污名是齐头并进的，当我们听到周围人表达的污名时，由于社会影响，我们倾向于将它们应用于自己。)”可知，我们容易受到公众污名的影响。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段第一句话“To be our better selves, we have to break the stigma around “help” and accept the fact that some problems are too tough to overcome on our own. (为了成为更好的自己，我们必须打破围绕“帮助”的污名，并接受这样一个事实，即：有些问题太难靠自己克服了。)”可知，当我们打破了寻求帮助的这种羞耻感就会让自己变得更好。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文围绕“帮助”一词被污名化而展开，主要告诉我们当一个人遇到困难时，向别人求助并不是一件羞耻的事情，在有需要的时候要毫不犹豫地去寻求帮助。故选B项。

Both Roberto and Keith have a 45-minute commute(通勤) time from their homes to their workplace. When Roberto drives, he has realistic expectations of how others drive and how long the trip should take. Overall, he is able to adapt to any unexpected challenges he may face on the road. He rarely becomes angry. By contrast, Keith drives with a tendency for becoming angry easily, partly due to unrealistic expectations of other drivers, his quickness to personalize and feel threatened by the actions of others, and his inability to calm his anger.
The difference between how Roberto and Keith experience their drive to work, especially with regard to getting angry, is influenced very much by their emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is crucial for helping individuals choose constructive over destructive anger. A key aspect of healthy anger is being able to pause and reflect on, rather than react to, our thoughts, feelings, and senses associated with getting angry.
Self-regulation and empathy(同理心) are two important components of emotional intelligence, which can be a buffer(缓冲) against destructive anger. Self-regulation helps us to control our moods. Empathy helps us to recognize the humanity in others and ourselves.
Studies suggest that training in emotional intelligence can powerfully impact how anger is managed. This was supported by a three-year study of 476 young adults who showed reduced tendency of becoming angry after training. Children and adults can learn skills to boost their emotional intelligence and, by doing so, develop adaptability for dealing with various negative affect, including anger. Many workbooks offer skills in emotional intelligence to promote empathy and self-awareness regarding emotions and how they impact our beliefs and behavior.
Clearly, through training, Keith would experience greater emotional flexibility that could support a more peaceful commute to work. I firmly believe that learning skills in emotional intelligence should be the focus in helping individuals more constructively manage this highly challenging and complex emotion.
12. What is the function of the first paragraph
A. To tell a true story. B. To make a comparison.
C. To introduce the main topic. D. To present an important finding.
13. Which of the following is the main point of healthy anger
A. Thinking over the annoying situation.
B. Taking action to deal with the awful situation.
C. Turning a blind eye to the unwelcome situation.
D. Expressing feelings about the disturbing situation.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards training in emotional intelligence
A. Tolerant. B. Doubtful.
C. Negative. D. Supportive.
15. What is the suitable title of the text
A. Friends Should Enjoy Peaceful Commute
B. Drivers Need to Boost Their Emotional Intelligence
C. Emotional Intelligence Is a Buffer Against Destructive Anger
D. Emotional Intelligence Has a Powerful Impact on People’s Life
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讨论了罗伯特和基斯两人上班通勤时的情绪反应差异，这种差异主要受他们的情绪智力影响。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Both Roberto and Keith have a 45-minute commute(通勤) time from their homes to their workplace. When Roberto drives, he has realistic expectations of how others drive and how long the trip should take. Overall, he is able to adapt to any unexpected challenges he may face on the road. He rarely becomes angry. By contrast, Keith drives with a tendency for becoming angry easily, partly due to unrealistic expectations of other drivers, his quickness to personalize and feel threatened by the actions of others, and his inability to calm his anger.”（Roberto和Keith从家到工作地点都有45分钟的通勤时间。当Roberto开车时，他对其他人的驾驶方式和旅行时间有着现实的期望。总的来说，他能够适应路上可能面临的任何意外挑战。他很少生气。相比之下，基思开车时很容易生气，部分原因是对其他司机不切实际的期望，他很快就对他人的行为产生了个性化和威胁感，而且他无法平息自己的愤怒。）可推知，第一段的主要作用是引出主题。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“A key aspect of healthy anger is being able to pause and reflect on, rather than react to, our thoughts, feelings, and senses associated with getting angry.”（健康愤怒的一个关键方面是能够停下来反思，而不是对我们与生气有关的想法、感觉和感觉做出反应。）可知，健康愤怒的要点是考虑恼人的情况。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Clearly, through training, Keith would experience greater emotional flexibility that could support a more peaceful commute to work. I firmly believe that learning skills in emotional intelligence should be the focus in helping individuals more constructively manage this highly challenging and complex emotion.”（显然，通过培训，基思将体验到更大的情绪灵活性，从而能够更平和地上下班。我坚信，学习情商技能应该是帮助个人更有建设性地管理这种极具挑战性和复杂情绪的重点。）可推知，作者对情商训练的态度是支持的。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“Clearly, through training, Keith would experience greater emotional flexibility that could support a more peaceful commute to work. I firmly believe that learning skills in emotional intelligence should be the focus in helping individuals more constructively manage this highly challenging and complex emotion.”（显然，通过培训，基思将体验到更大的情绪灵活性，从而能够更平和地上下班。我坚信，学习情商技能应该是帮助个人更有建设性地管理这种极具挑战性和复杂情绪的重点。）可知，情商可以缓解复杂的情绪。因此C选项Emotional Intelligence Is a Buffer Against Destructive Anger（情商是对破坏性愤怒的缓冲）是本文的最佳标题。故选C项。

【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了非洲绿色长城项目的进展情况。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Desertification, the process by which fertile(肥沃的) land becomes desert, has severe impacts on food production and is worsened by climate change. (荒漠化是肥沃土地变成沙漠的过程，对粮食生产产生严重影响，并因气候变化而恶化。)”可知，此处介绍了荒漠化的影响；下文“Africa’s Great Green Wall is a project to build an 8,000- kilometre-long forest across 11 of the continent s countries. (‘非洲绿色长城’是横跨非洲11个国家建设8000公里长的森林的项目。)”，此处介绍了针对非洲的荒漠化现象的解决措施；G项“The U.N. says up to 45 percent of Africa’s land is impacted by desertification, worse than any other continent. (联合国说，非洲有多达45%的土地受到沙漠化的影响，比其他任何大陆都严重。)”，G项起到承前启后的作用，上下文衔接连贯，故选G项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“The project is meant to contain the growing Sahara Desert and fight climate change. (该项目旨在遏制撒哈拉沙漠的扩张并应对气候变化。)”，下文“They include limited political support, lack of money, weak organizational structures, and not enough consideration for the environment. (它们包括政治支持有限、缺乏资金、组织结构薄弱以及对环境考虑不够。)”，前后有转折关系，因为下文列举的是该项目面临的困难，设空处与上文为转折关系，A项“But the project faces many problems. (但该项目面临许多问题。)”，下文的They呼应A项中的many problems。上下文衔接连贯，故选A项。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Just 4 million hectares (公顷) of land have been turned into forest since work on the Green Wall began 15 years ago. (自从15年前开始修建绿墙以来，只有400万公顷的土地变成了森林。)”可知，搞项目进展缓慢，B项“That is only 4 percent of the programme’s goal. (这仅仅是该计划目标的4%。)”，B项顺接上文，上文中的Just和B项中的only的运用，表明：该项目的进展实在太缓慢了，没有达到预想的速度。故选B项。
【19题详解】
根据上文“First proposed in 2005, the project aims to plant a forest from Senegal on the Atlantic Ocean in western Africa to Eritrea, Ethiopia and Djibouti in the east. (该项目于2005年首次提出，旨在从西非大西洋沿岸的塞内加尔到东部的厄立特里亚、埃塞俄比亚和吉布提，种植一片森林。)”，下文“It could also reduce levels of climate-related migration in the area and capture hundreds of millions of tons of carbon dioxide from the air. Several countries have struggled to keep up with the demands of the project. (它还可以减少该地区与气候有关的移民水平，并从空气中捕获数亿吨二氧化碳。几个国家一直在努力满足该项目的需求。)”可知，此处陈述了该项目的好处，F项“Supporters hope that the project will create millions of green jobs in rural Africa. (支持者希望该项目将在非洲农村地区创造数百万的绿色就业机会。)”，F项承接上文，下文的It指代F项中的the project，副词also的运用表明：下文与F项为并列关系，故选F项。
【20题详解】
此处考查段首句。根据下文“Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Sudan have all expanded their efforts. Ethiopia is producing 5.5 billion seedlings leading to thousands of hectares of restored land. Efforts in Eritrea and Sudan have also resulted in nearly 140,000 hectares of newly planted forest. (厄立特里亚、埃塞俄比亚和苏丹都扩大了他们的努力。埃塞俄比亚正在生产55亿棵幼苗，从而恢复了数千公顷的土地。厄立特里亚和苏丹的努力也带来了近14万公顷新种植的森林。)”可知，此处介绍了在某些国家中，该项目的进展情况。E项“Some progress has been made in recent years in the east of the continent. (近年来，非洲大陆东部取得了一些进展。)”，E项为本段的中心句，与下文为总分关系，故选E项。
第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：它们布满了天花板、墙壁和地板，有些甚至看起来像是在挑战重力。分析句子结构可知此处为独立主格结构“代词+现在分词”，appear和逻辑主语some之间是逻辑的主动关系，故用现在分词。故填appearing。

【44题详解】

We got to the cafe an hour before Anna was scheduled arrive. Learning that they wanted to give Anna a birthday surprise, a friendly waiter was more than happier to be our partner. He finds some colourful balloons, for which we decorated the cafe. We had just done all the work while Anna came into sight. We greeted her with our smiles or the gift we had prepared before. Anna stood there, with tears filled her eyes. When I handed the gift to her, she was too excited that she couldn’t help screaming. “This is the best birthday surprise I have ever been received!” she cried, hugging me tightly.
【答案】1.在arrive前加to
2.they→we
3.happier→happy
4.finds→found
5.for→with
6.while→when
7.or→and
8.filled→filling
9.too→so
10.去掉been
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者和其他的人在咖啡馆给安娜生日惊喜的故事。
【详解】1.考查不定式。句意：我们在安娜计划到达前一小时到达咖啡馆。be scheduled to do是固定短语，意为“被安排做某事”，故在arrive前加to。
2.考查代词。句意：得知我们想给安娜一个生日惊喜，一个友好的服务员非常高兴成为我们的合作伙伴。根据语境可知，是“我们”想要给安娜一个生日惊喜，“我们”用代词we作主语，故将they改为we。
3.考查形容词。句意：得知我们想给安娜一个生日惊喜，一个友好的服务员非常高兴成为我们的合作伙伴。“more than+形容词”意为“非常……”，happier要改为形容词的原级，故将happier改为happy。
4.考查时态。句意：他找到了一些彩色的气球，我们用它们装饰了咖啡馆。观察通篇时态可知，整篇文章描述的是过去的事情，时态用一般过去时，finds要改为过去式，故将finds改为found。
5.考查介词。句意：他找到了一些彩色的气球，我们用它们装饰了咖啡馆。根据语境可知，“我们”用气球装饰咖啡馆，“用……装饰……”是decorate sth. with sth.，因此用with which引导定语从句，故将for改为with。
6.考查固定搭配。句意：我们刚做完所有的工作，安娜就出现了。had just done...when...是固定句型，意为“刚做完……这时……”，故将while改为when。
7.考查连词。句意：我们用我们的微笑和我们之前准备好的礼物迎接她。smiles和the gift是同时出现的，而不是二选一的关系，因此用and连接，故将or改为and。
8.考查非谓语动词。句意：安娜站在那里，热泪盈眶。“with tears filled her eyes”是with复合结构，tears和fill之间是主谓关系，因此用现在分词表主动，故将filled改为filling。
9.考查固定搭配。句意：当我把礼物递给她时，她兴奋得忍不住尖叫起来。“so+形容词+that...”是固定句型，意为“如此……以至于……”，故将too改为so。
10.考查主动语态。句意：这是我收到的最好的生日惊喜！安娜收到礼物是主动的动作，用主动语态，而have ever been received是现在完成时的被动语态，因此应该去掉been，故去掉been。
