Free Official Sources to Find Unclaimed Money
Does the government owe you money? There might be unclaimed funds or property waiting for you from savings or checking accounts, wages and pensions, tax refunds(退款), life insurance policies, and a lot more. Companies may offer to find this money for a fee. And scammers may try to trick you with fake promises of money from the government. But you can find your unclaimed money yourself for free. Check out USA Gov’s list of official sources to get started:
•Search for unclaimed money and property in every state where you have lived.
You can conduct a multi-state search, and keep an eye out at state fairs and even malls, where state treasurers(ST) and other officials hold public awareness events.
•Check for unclaimed funds from bank failures or unclaimed deposits from credit union closures.
Did you have money in a checking or savings account at a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)-insured financial institution? If the financial institution is closed, you can search the FDIC database(数据库)and you will make it. FDIC has thousands of their banks across the country and deserves your trust.
•Search for unclaimed back wages, pension money, or life insurance funds.
Are you owed unpaid wages from your current employer(CP) or a past employer(PP)? Check the Labor Department’s Wage and Hour Division’s records to see if you have money waiting to be claimed. You also may be owed a pension if a company you worked for went out of business or ended a defined plan.
36. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. It is likely that several states owe money to you.
B. Malls might witness public awareness events.
C. Scammers are always ready to help you for free.
D. Your past employer might owe you unpaid wages.
37. The organization enabling consumers to confidently place money may be ______.
A. ST B. CP
C. PP D. FDIC
【答案】36. C 37. D
【解析】
这是一篇广告布告类阅读。文章主要介绍了寻找无人认领的钱免费的、官方的途径。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在第一段And scammers may try to trick you with fake promises of money from the government.（骗子可能会用政府的虚假承诺来欺骗你。）由此可知C选项“骗子总是准备免费帮助你”描述错误，故选C。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。答案定位在倒数第二段If the financial institution is closed, you can search the FDIC database(数据库)and you will make it. FDIC has thousands of their banks across the country and deserves your trust.（如果金融机构关闭了，你可以搜索FDIC的数据库，你会成功的。FDIC在全国拥有数千家银行，值得你的信任。）由此推断出，让消费者有信心存钱的机构可能是FDIC，故选D。
B
Are Coral Reefs(珊瑚礁) Adapting to Climate Change?
Scientists reported that climate change might actually be helping ancient trees thrive(长得健壮). Now there seems to be more positive news—this time about the coral in our oceans whose population has been severely affected in last few decades by rising temperatures, disease and human carelessness.
Coral reefs as you probably know are not just colorful calcium carbonate(钙碳酸盐)structures that provide shelter to a wonderful number of fish, but also a close relationship or partnership between coral polyps(珊瑚虫) and single celled living things called zooxanthellae(虫黄藻). The coral polyps give the zooxanthellae a home and in return the later provide the coral polyps with their vivid color and food. They support each other in a fantastic balance, one that is getting severely damaged by the rising temperatures which are causing the coral polyps to reject their zooxanthellae friends, removing their color and food source.
Scientists estimate the phenomenon of rising temperatures combined with disease has destroyed the coral reef population by more than 80%. It is therefore no wonder that scientists all over the world are looking for solutions to try to restore this all important link to sea life. However, while human efforts like planting the coral again have been somewhat successful, they are not enough to replace all the coral that has been dying due to climate change. That is probably why reports by various researchers about certain types of coral being able to not only survive the changing ocean conditions, but also thrive in it, are being met with such enthusiasm. The most recent findings show that despite higher temperatures the coral reefs seem to be thriving.
These findings are consistent with the lab research conducted by the scientists who tried growing different varieties of coral in waters with higher temperature to see how they would react. They were surprised to discover that most of them survived and some seemed to adapt and grow normally. Encouraged by these and other similar findings, more energetic species have been introduced to see if coral reefs can be restored to their former glory. A program is busy analyzing the world's oceans to find more varieties that can be used for this same purpose．
However, we are not out of the woods yet! Scientists are still not sure how they would introduce these varieties to areas where they are not abundant and more importantly what the consequences would be on the surrounding sea life. Hopefully, the combination of new scientific research and fewer human mistakes will allow our beautiful coral to thrive again!
38. Which word can be used to complete the following relationship?
Coral reefs are a bridge between coral polyps and zooxanthellae.
→Coral polyps and zooxanthellae depend on one another.
→The ________ between coral polyps and zooxanthellae is suffering from severe damage.
A. home B. structure
C. balance D. color
39. The underlined words in Paragraph 4 mean ________.
A. to allow coral reefs to thrive again
B. to find more varieties of coral
C. to survive the changing ocean conditions
D. to see how coral reacts in higher temperature
40. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. climate change has the same effect on both ancient trees and coral
B. replanting the coral can solve the problem of coral reefs' decrease
C. various researchers are interested in the reports on the changing ocean conditions
D. the lab research has encouraged scientists to restore coral reefs to their former glory
【答案】38. C 39. A 40. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了实验表明，通过引入更有活力的物种，珊瑚礁有望恢复昔日的辉煌。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在第二段They support each other in a fantastic balance, one that is getting severely damaged by the rising temperatures which are causing the coral polyps to reject their zooxanthellae friends, removing their color and food source.（它们在一种奇妙的平衡中互相支持，而温度的升高严重破坏了这种平衡，导致珊瑚虫排斥它们的黄藻朋友，失去了它们的颜色和食物来源。）由此可知，珊瑚虫和黄藻之间的平衡正遭受严重破坏，故选C。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。上文Encouraged by these and other similar findings, more energetic species have been introduced to see if coral reefs can be restored to their former glory.说受到这些和其他类似发现的鼓舞，更有活力的物种被引入，看看珊瑚礁是否能恢复到以前的辉煌。由此可知，下文A program is busy analyzing the world's oceans to find more varieties that can be used for this same purpose．意思是程序正忙着分析世界上的海洋寻找更多的可用于这一目的品种。“this same purpose”指的是让珊瑚礁重新繁荣起来，故选A。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。答案定位在最后一段Hopefully, the combination of new scientific research and fewer human mistakes will allow our beautiful coral to thrive again!（有希望的是，新的科学研究和更少的人为错误的结合能让我们美丽的珊瑚再次繁荣起来!）由此推断出，这项实验室研究鼓励科学家们恢复珊瑚礁昔日的辉煌，故选D。
C
A dozen international coffee experts shuffle（把脚挪来挪去）around a long wooden table, pausing at each steaming cup, heads dipping and sniffing deeply. Then the slurping（吃喝或吸吮的声音）begins. In the wings, coffee farmer Yang Fan watches intently as the judges circle, awaiting a verdict（裁定）on her latest crop of beans.
China may be the spiritual home of tea, but it is fast developing a reputation as a top coffee producer. This tasting was a side event to the first ever Pu'er International Specialty Coffee Expo in China's southwestern Yunnan province, which ran this winter and drew more than a thousand attendees, including industry aficionados(酷爱者) from across the globe.
"Coffee has huge potential in China," says Liu Ying, who swapped her life working in private-equity（私人股权） investment in Beijing to grow coffee in Pu'er five years ago. "The younger generation prefers to drink coffee in their offices much more than tea." Still, Pu'er remains synonymous with tea.
This bustling （喧闹的）town near the Laos border is surrounded by the green hills scored with tea plantations; it produces a variety of tea which is also called Pu’er, considered one of China's most refined. But the region's mild climate is also perfect for growing Arabica coffee. And as China's fast-living millennials move away from traditional tea in favor of the invigorating coffee, Pu'er's farmers are catering to the demand.
Yunnan accounts for 98% of China's coffee harvest, with half coming from the misty landscape around Pu'er. Today, China is the 13th biggest coffee producer in the world—rising from zero output three decades ago to 136,000 tons annually today.
In April, Seattle's annual Specialty Coffee Expo decided to showcase China as its portrait country of origin. It follows on the heels of Starbucks' launching its first single-origin Yunnan coffee last year after eight years of partnership with Yunnan farmers.
With global coffee prices at record lows, Yunnan farmers are processing beans in bespoke ways to create distinct flavors—allowing them to enter the market of specialty coffee.
"At current coffee prices, I can't even feed my family," says the farmer Yang. "My only way out is to produce specialty coffee, to make the best coffee beans."That means letting beans dry in their cherries, thus producing a wild, fruity flavor via environmental fermentation（发酵）,or allowing them to "honey" in their sugary inner layer, which adds a subtle sweetness.
Back in the tasting room, Yang awaits the experts' verdict on whether all that extra effort was worthwhile."If I told you this was Colombian or Panama coffee, nobody would argue with me," says Samuel Gurel, CEO of Pu'er's Torch Coffee Roasters, as Yang breaks into a huge grin. "It's a great example of how Chinese coffee is evolving."
41. What caused Liu Ying to quit her former job to grow coffee in Pu’er?
A. Yunnan accounts for 98% of China’s coffee harvest.
B. There is a huge potential of coffee market in China.

D. She is tired of her work in private-equity investment.

C. is a more invigorating drink compared with tea
D. needs mild climate to grow
43. The “extra effort” in the last paragraph refers to __________.

这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章主要讲了咖啡在中国有巨大的潜力，一些中国咖啡种植者用定制的方式加工咖啡豆，创造了独特的风味。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在第三段 "Coffee has huge potential in China," says Liu Ying, who swapped her life working in private-equity（私人股权） investment in Beijing to grow coffee in Pu'er five years ago.（“咖啡在中国有巨大的潜力，”刘英说。五年前，她放弃了在北京从事私募股权投资的工作，来到普洱种植咖啡。）故选B。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在第四段But the region's mild climate is also perfect for growing Arabica coffee.（但该地区温和的气候也非常适合种植Arabica咖啡。）由此可知，Arabica咖啡需要温和的气候才能生长，故选D。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。上文"My only way out is to produce specialty coffee, to make the best coffee beans."That means letting beans dry in their cherries, thus producing a wild, fruity flavor via environmental fermentation（发酵）,or allowing them to "honey" in their sugary inner layer, which adds a subtle sweetness.说由此可知，Back in the tasting room, Yang awaits the experts' verdict on whether all that extra effort was worthwhile.的意思是“我唯一的出路就是生产特色咖啡，做出最好的咖啡豆。”这意味着让咖啡豆在樱桃中干燥，从而通过环境发酵产生一种野生的水果味，或者让它们在含糖内层变甜，从而增加微妙的甜味。由此推断出，最后一段中的“额外努力”指的是用定制的方式加工咖啡豆，以创造独特的风味，故选A。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。答案定位在最后一段 It's a great example of how Chinese coffee is evolving.（这是中国咖啡发展的一个很好的例子。）由此可知，Samuel Gurel认为杨的咖啡豆值得称赞，故选A。
【点睛】细节理解题的解题思路：
细节理解题就是我们常见的wh-题，它们大多是根据文章中的具体信息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述等进行提问的。抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键，也是做好其它类型问题的基础。该题型几乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息，或是其变体。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节，做这类题一般采用寻读法，即先读题，然后带着问题快速阅读短文，找出与问题和选项有关的词语或句子，再对相关部分进行分析对比，找出答案。例如小题2，答案定位在第四段But the region's mild climate is also perfect for growing Arabica coffee.（但该地区温和的气候也非常适合种植Arabica咖啡。）由此可知，Arabica咖啡需要温和的气候才能生长，故选D。
D
“WHAT IS CIVILIZATION?” asked Kenneth Clark 50 years ago in the seminal BBC series on the subject. “I don’t know, and I can’t define it in abstract terms, yet. But I think I can recognize it when I see it, and I’m looking at it now.” And he turned to gesture behind him, at the soaring Gothic towers and flying buttresses of Notre Dame.
It seems inhuman to care more about a building than about people. That the sight of Notre Dame going up in flames has attracted so much more attention than floods in southern Africa which killed over 1,000 arouses understandable feelings of guilt. Yet the widespread, intense grief at the sight of the cathedral’s collapsing steeple is in fact profoundly human—and in a particularly 21st-century way.
It is not just the economy that is global today, it is culture too. People wander the world in search not just of jobs and security but also of beauty and history. Familiarity breeds affection. A building on whose sunny steps you have rested, in front of which you have taken a selfie with your loved one, becomes a warm part of your memories and thus of yourself. That helps explain why China is in mourning—WeChat, young China’s principal means of talking to itself, has been throbbing with the story, and Xi Jinping, the country’s president, sent a message of condolence to Emmanuel Macron, his French counterpart—while India was largely indifferent. Tourism from India to the West is a trickle compared with the flood from China.
This visual age has endowed beauty with new power, and social media have turned great works of art into superstars. Only a few, though, have achieved this status. Just as there is only ever a handful of world-famous actors, so the pantheon of globally recognizable cultural symbols is tiny: the Mona Lisa, Michelangelo’s David, the Taj Mahal, the Great Pyramid—and Notre Dame. Disaster, too, is visual. In the 24 hours after the fire started videos on social media of the burning cathedral were viewed nearly a quarter of a billion times.
Yet the emotions the sight aroused were less about the building itself than about what losing it might mean. Notre Dame is an expression of humanity at its collective best. Nobody could look up into that vaulted ceiling without wondering at the cumulative genius of the thousands of anonymous craftsmen who, over a century and a half, realized a vision so grand in its structural ambition and so delicate in its hand-chiselled detail. Its survival through 850 years of political turbulence—through war, revolution and Nazi occupation—binds the present to the past.
The fire also binds people to each other. The outpouring of emotion it has brought forth is proof that, despite the dark forces of division now abroad, we are all in it together. When nationalism is a rising threat, shared sadness makes borders suddenly irrelevant. When politics is polarized, a love of culture has the power to unite. When extremism divides Muslim from Christian and religious people from atheists, those of all faiths and none are mourning together. An edifice built for the glory of God also represents the unity of the human spirit.
And it will be rebuilt. The morning after the fire, the many Parisians who went to the cathedral to mourn its destruction found comfort instead. Although the spire is gone, the towers are still standing and it seems likely that the whole building can be revived. The effort to rebuild it, like the fire, will bring people together. Within 24 hours, €600m ($677m) had been raised from businesses and rich people, and a rash of crowdfunding campaigns started. A high-resolution laser scan of the building, carried out recently, should help.
It will never be the same, but that is as it should be. As Victor Hugo wrote in “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”, a three-volume love-letter to the cathedral: “Great edifices, like great mountains, are the work of centuries. Art is often transformed as it is being made…Time is the architect, the nation is the builder.”
45. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the fact that people care more about a building than floods in Africa?
A. indifferent B. critical
C. confused D. understandable
46. The underlined word “condolence” in Paragraph 3 means __________.
A. sympathy B. compliment
C. gratitude D. agreement
47. Why was India largely indifferent to the big fire of Notre Dame?
A. Because Indians care more about jobs and security.
B. Because Indians have no access to social media like WeChat.
C. Because Indians have less familiarity with Notre Dame.
D. Because Indians are not fond of travelling.
48. What can we infer from Paragraph 5 and 6?
A. People are more sad about losing the building than about what losing it might mean.
B. Not only does Notre Dame bind the present to the past but also binds people to each other.
C. Owing to the big fire, people around the world will unite forever despite their differences.
D. Unrest existed in history for quite a long time and it still exists now.
49. By saying “it will never be the same” the writer means that __________.
A. the high-resolution laser scan of the building helps but far from enough
B. it’s impossible to replicate (复制) it for lack of the cumulative genius of craftsmen
C. dark forces, nationalism and extremism are barriers to replicating it
D. time has changed and the rebuilding will change accordingly
50. What might be the best title of the passage?
A. What is civilization? B. Why do people care about Notre Dame?
C. What binds people together? D. How should we rebuild Notre Dame?

词义猜测题。上文That helps explain why China is in mourning—WeChat, young China’s principal means of talking to itself, has been throbbing with the story说这有助于解释为什么中国在哀悼——微信，年轻一代中国主要的自言自语方式，一直在随着这个故事而悸动。由此可知，and Xi Jinping, the country’s president, sent a message of condolence to Emmanuel Macron意思是中国国家主席习近平向Emmanuel Macron致慰问电。“condolence”意思是慰问。A. sympathy慰问；B. compliment称赞；C. gratitude感谢；D. agreement同意，故选A。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。答案定位在第三段Tourism from India to the West is a trickle compared with the flood from China.（与来自中国去西方旅游的洪水相比，印度到西方的旅游只是涓涓细流。）由此可知，印度对圣母院大火漠不关心是因为印度人对巴黎圣母院不太熟悉，故选C。

推理判断题。下文As Victor Hugo wrote in “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”, a three-volume love-letter to the cathedral: “Great edifices, like great mountains, are the work of centuries.

【50题详解】
主旨大意题。第二段Yet the widespread, intense grief at the sight of the cathedral’s collapsing steeple is in fact profoundly human—and in a particularly 21st-century way.是全文的主题句，结合全文内容，可知这篇文章主要讲了大火烧毁了巴黎圣母院，人们普遍而强烈的悲痛，实际上是发自内心的。由此进一步说明了人们关心巴黎圣母院的原因，故选B。

注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。
Social anxiety(社交恐惧症) is a type of anxiety problem. People with social anxiety can usually interact easily with family and a few close friends. Instead of enjoying social activities, they might fear them and avoid some of them altogether. Like other anxieties, it is a fear reaction to something that isn't actually dangerous, although the body and mind react as if the danger is real. Because the physical sensations that go with the response are real and sometimes quite strong the danger seems real. With social anxiety, a person's fears and concerns are focused on the social performance whether it's a major class presentation or small talk at the lockers. People tend to feel embarrassed and uncomfortable about being noticed or judged by others.
Social anxiety might prevent someone from chatting with friends in the lunchroom, joining an afterschool club, going to a party, or asking someone on a date. It might keep a person from volunteering an answer in class, reading aloud, or giving a presentation. It might prevent someone from acting the school play, being in the talent show, trying out for a team, or joining in a service project. It also prevents them from making the normal, everyday mistakes that help people improve their skills still further.
Social anxiety develops because the genetic features from parents and other relatives can influence how the brain senses and controls anxiety, shyness, nervousness, and stress reactions. Meanwhile, some people are born with a shy character and tend to be cautious and sensitive in new situations and prefer what's familiar. Naturally a person's shy character can be influenced by what he or she learns from role models. If parents or others react by overprotecting a child who is shy, the child won't have a chance to get used to new situations and new people. If people born with a cautious nature have stressful experiences, social anxiety can make them even more cautious and shy. Feeling pressured to interact in ways they don't feel ready for, being criticized or insulted, or having other fears and worries can make it more likely for a shy or fearful person to develop social anxiety.
Sometimes, but not always, medicines that reduce anxiety are used as part of the treatment. Family or friends are especially important and the right support from a few key people can help those with social anxiety gather the courage to go outside their comfort zone and try something new. Dealing with social anxiety takes patience, courage to face fears and try new things, and the willingness to practice.

Libraries in universities and scientific research institutes should be accessible to the public, according to a new law on public libraries adopted by the Standing Committee (常务委员会) of the National People's Congress, China's top legislature (立法机构). Beijing Youth Daily commented: Compared with their public counterparts, university libraries, the number of which is estimated to be at least 2，914, have a lot more books, but only students and teaching staff have access to them as most university libraries are not open to the public.
Thirtyfour university libraries in Beijing will accept visitors, and 12 of them have already begun to do so. Most of the dozen universities allow visitors to read in the library without the right to borrow books. However, it may still be a while before the public can visit some other university libraries in Beijing.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version one：
According to a new law, libraries in universities and scientific research institutes should be open to the public. Although readers are accessible to some university libraries in Beijing, there's still a long way to go.
Personally, I agree with the policy. Above all, if resources in university libraries are not fully used it will be a big waste. Besides, one of the key social responsibilities of universities is to serve the society. Nowadays, fewer and fewer people are interested in reading books. You can always see many people playing games on their cellphones, instead of reading. Thus, the action is actually a way to encourage more people to pick up books.
However, only depending on universities and the government will not ensure the sustainable development of the policy. Therefore, it's necessary to absorb some social support, such as setting up community clubs that bring together resources of nearby universities and even middle schools.
Possible version two：
As a new law goes, libraries in universities and scientific research institutes should be open to the public. Some have begun to do so, while others still have difficulties for some reasons.
Personally, I hold an opposite view. Firstly, even if university libraries open to the public, it's still useless if people have no interests in reading. Secondly, opening universities to the public will add universities' burdens in many aspects. Finally, outsiders may be causes of breaking laws and loosing morals. Therefore, we shouldn't seek for a mere form, but put more emphasis on enhancing the quality of national citizens.
My suggestions are as follows: The government should increase inputs to build many public libraries in society providing books for the public. It would be better for visitors to borrow books instead of reading in the library. To open university libraries to the public, we need a gradual process.

Free Official Sources to Find Unclaimed Money
Does the government owe you money? There might be unclaimed funds or property waiting for you from savings or checking accounts, wages and pensions, tax refunds(退款), life insurance policies, and a lot more. Companies may offer to find this money for a fee. And scammers may try to trick you with fake promises of money from the government. But you can find your unclaimed money yourself for free. Check out USA Gov’s list of official sources to get started:
•Search for unclaimed money and property in every state where you have lived.
You can conduct a multi-state search, and keep an eye out at state fairs and even malls, where state treasurers(ST) and other officials hold public awareness events.
•Check for unclaimed funds from bank failures or unclaimed deposits from credit union closures.
Did you have money in a checking or savings account at a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)-insured financial institution? If the financial institution is closed, you can search the FDIC database(数据库)and you will make it. FDIC has thousands of their banks across the country and deserves your trust.
•Search for unclaimed back wages, pension money, or life insurance funds.
Are you owed unpaid wages from your current employer(CP) or a past employer(PP)? Check the Labor Department’s Wage and Hour Division’s records to see if you have money waiting to be claimed. You also may be owed a pension if a company you worked for went out of business or ended a defined plan.
36. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. It is likely that several states owe money to you.
B. Malls might witness public awareness events.
C. Scammers are always ready to help you for free.
D. Your past employer might owe you unpaid wages.
37. The organization enabling consumers to confidently place money may be ______.
A. ST B. CP
C. PP D. FDIC
【答案】36. C 37. D
【解析】
这是一篇广告布告类阅读。文章主要介绍了寻找无人认领的钱免费的、官方的途径。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在第一段And scammers may try to trick you with fake promises of money from the government.（骗子可能会用政府的虚假承诺来欺骗你。）由此可知C选项“骗子总是准备免费帮助你”描述错误，故选C。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。答案定位在倒数第二段If the financial institution is closed, you can search the FDIC database(数据库)and you will make it. FDIC has thousands of their banks across the country and deserves your trust.（如果金融机构关闭了，你可以搜索FDIC的数据库，你会成功的。FDIC在全国拥有数千家银行，值得你的信任。）由此推断出，让消费者有信心存钱的机构可能是FDIC，故选D。

Are Coral Reefs(珊瑚礁) Adapting to Climate Change?
Scientists reported that climate change might actually be helping ancient trees thrive(长得健壮). Now there seems to be more positive news—this time about the coral in our oceans whose population has been severely affected in last few decades by rising temperatures, disease and human carelessness.
Coral reefs as you probably know are not just colorful calcium carbonate(钙碳酸盐)structures that provide shelter to a wonderful number of fish, but also a close relationship or partnership between coral polyps(珊瑚虫) and single celled living things called zooxanthellae(虫黄藻). The coral polyps give the zooxanthellae a home and in return the later provide the coral polyps with their vivid color and food. They support each other in a fantastic balance, one that is getting severely damaged by the rising temperatures which are causing the coral polyps to reject their zooxanthellae friends, removing their color and food source.
Scientists estimate the phenomenon of rising temperatures combined with disease has destroyed the coral reef population by more than 80%. It is therefore no wonder that scientists all over the world are looking for solutions to try to restore this all important link to sea life. However, while human efforts like planting the coral again have been somewhat successful, they are not enough to replace all the coral that has been dying due to climate change. That is probably why reports by various researchers about certain types of coral being able to not only survive the changing ocean conditions, but also thrive in it, are being met with such enthusiasm. The most recent findings show that despite higher temperatures the coral reefs seem to be thriving.
These findings are consistent with the lab research conducted by the scientists who tried growing different varieties of coral in waters with higher temperature to see how they would react. They were surprised to discover that most of them survived and some seemed to adapt and grow normally. Encouraged by these and other similar findings, more energetic species have been introduced to see if coral reefs can be restored to their former glory. A program is busy analyzing the world's oceans to find more varieties that can be used for this same purpose．
However, we are not out of the woods yet! Scientists are still not sure how they would introduce these varieties to areas where they are not abundant and more importantly what the consequences would be on the surrounding sea life. Hopefully, the combination of new scientific research and fewer human mistakes will allow our beautiful coral to thrive again!
38. Which word can be used to complete the following relationship?
Coral reefs are a bridge between coral polyps and zooxanthellae.
→Coral polyps and zooxanthellae depend on one another.
→The ________ between coral polyps and zooxanthellae is suffering from severe damage.
A. home B. structure
C. balance D. color
39. The underlined words in Paragraph 4 mean ________.
A. to allow coral reefs to thrive again
B. to find more varieties of coral
C. to survive the changing ocean conditions
D. to see how coral reacts in higher temperature
40. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. climate change has the same effect on both ancient trees and coral
B. replanting the coral can solve the problem of coral reefs' decrease
C. various researchers are interested in the reports on the changing ocean conditions
D. the lab research has encouraged scientists to restore coral reefs to their former glory
【答案】38. C 39. A 40. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了实验表明，通过引入更有活力的物种，珊瑚礁有望恢复昔日的辉煌。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在第二段They support each other in a fantastic balance, one that is getting severely damaged by the rising temperatures which are causing the coral polyps to reject their zooxanthellae friends, removing their color and food source.（它们在一种奇妙的平衡中互相支持，而温度的升高严重破坏了这种平衡，导致珊瑚虫排斥它们的黄藻朋友，失去了它们的颜色和食物来源。）由此可知，珊瑚虫和黄藻之间的平衡正遭受严重破坏，故选C。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。上文Encouraged by these and other similar findings, more energetic species have been introduced to see if coral reefs can be restored to their former glory.说受到这些和其他类似发现的鼓舞，更有活力的物种被引入，看看珊瑚礁是否能恢复到以前的辉煌。由此可知，下文A program is busy analyzing the world's oceans to find more varieties that can be used for this same purpose．意思是程序正忙着分析世界上的海洋寻找更多的可用于这一目的品种。“this same purpose”指的是让珊瑚礁重新繁荣起来，故选A。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。答案定位在最后一段Hopefully, the combination of new scientific research and fewer human mistakes will allow our beautiful coral to thrive again!（有希望的是，新的科学研究和更少的人为错误的结合能让我们美丽的珊瑚再次繁荣起来!）由此推断出，这项实验室研究鼓励科学家们恢复珊瑚礁昔日的辉煌，故选D。
C
A dozen international coffee experts shuffle（把脚挪来挪去）around a long wooden table, pausing at each steaming cup, heads dipping and sniffing deeply. Then the slurping（吃喝或吸吮的声音）begins. In the wings, coffee farmer Yang Fan watches intently as the judges circle, awaiting a verdict（裁定）on her latest crop of beans.
China may be the spiritual home of tea, but it is fast developing a reputation as a top coffee producer. This tasting was a side event to the first ever Pu'er International Specialty Coffee Expo in China's southwestern Yunnan province, which ran this winter and drew more than a thousand attendees, including industry aficionados(酷爱者) from across the globe.
"Coffee has huge potential in China," says Liu Ying, who swapped her life working in private-equity（私人股权） investment in Beijing to grow coffee in Pu'er five years ago. "The younger generation prefers to drink coffee in their offices much more than tea." Still, Pu'er remains synonymous with tea.
This bustling （喧闹的）town near the Laos border is surrounded by the green hills scored with tea plantations; it produces a variety of tea which is also called Pu’er, considered one of China's most refined. But the region's mild climate is also perfect for growing Arabica coffee. And as China's fast-living millennials move away from traditional tea in favor of the invigorating coffee, Pu'er's farmers are catering to the demand.
Yunnan accounts for 98% of China's coffee harvest, with half coming from the misty landscape around Pu'er. Today, China is the 13th biggest coffee producer in the world—rising from zero output three decades ago to 136,000 tons annually today.
In April, Seattle's annual Specialty Coffee Expo decided to showcase China as its portrait country of origin. It follows on the heels of Starbucks' launching its first single-origin Yunnan coffee last year after eight years of partnership with Yunnan farmers.
With global coffee prices at record lows, Yunnan farmers are processing beans in bespoke ways to create distinct flavors—allowing them to enter the market of specialty coffee.
"At current coffee prices, I can't even feed my family," says the farmer Yang. "My only way out is to produce specialty coffee, to make the best coffee beans."That means letting beans dry in their cherries, thus producing a wild, fruity flavor via environmental fermentation（发酵）,or allowing them to "honey" in their sugary inner layer, which adds a subtle sweetness.
Back in the tasting room, Yang awaits the experts' verdict on whether all that extra effort was worthwhile."If I told you this was Colombian or Panama coffee, nobody would argue with me," says Samuel Gurel, CEO of Pu'er's Torch Coffee Roasters, as Yang breaks into a huge grin. "It's a great example of how Chinese coffee is evolving."
41. What caused Liu Ying to quit her former job to grow coffee in Pu’er?
A. Yunnan accounts for 98% of China’s coffee harvest.
B. There is a huge potential of coffee market in China.
C. She wants to introduce the younger generation to coffee.
D. She is tired of her work in private-equity investment.
42. According to the passage, we know that Arabica coffee __________.
A. is mainly grown in Yunnan
B. appeals to Chinese, especially the young
C. is a more invigorating drink compared with tea
D. needs mild climate to grow
43. The “extra effort” in the last paragraph refers to __________.
A. processing coffee beans in bespoke ways to create distinct flavors
B. forming a business partnership with Starbucks
C. lowering the price of Yunnan coffee beans
D. replacing Yunnan coffee with Colombian or Panama coffee
44. What does Samuel Gurel think of Yang’s coffee beans?
A. praiseworthy B. arguable
C. inferior D. unsatisfactory
【答案】41. B 42. D 43. A 44. A
【解析】

这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章主要讲了咖啡在中国有巨大的潜力，一些中国咖啡种植者用定制的方式加工咖啡豆，创造了独特的风味。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在第三段 "Coffee has huge potential in China," says Liu Ying, who swapped her life working in private-equity（私人股权） investment in Beijing to grow coffee in Pu'er five years ago.（“咖啡在中国有巨大的潜力，”刘英说。五年前，她放弃了在北京从事私募股权投资的工作，来到普洱种植咖啡。）故选B。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在第四段But the region's mild climate is also perfect for growing Arabica coffee.（但该地区温和的气候也非常适合种植Arabica咖啡。）由此可知，Arabica咖啡需要温和的气候才能生长，故选D。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。上文"My only way out is to produce specialty coffee, to make the best coffee beans."That means letting beans dry in their cherries, thus producing a wild, fruity flavor via environmental fermentation（发酵）,or allowing them to "honey" in their sugary inner layer, which adds a subtle sweetness.说由此可知，Back in the tasting room, Yang awaits the experts' verdict on whether all that extra effort was worthwhile.的意思是“我唯一的出路就是生产特色咖啡，做出最好的咖啡豆。”这意味着让咖啡豆在樱桃中干燥，从而通过环境发酵产生一种野生的水果味，或者让它们在含糖内层变甜，从而增加微妙的甜味。由此推断出，最后一段中的“额外努力”指的是用定制的方式加工咖啡豆，以创造独特的风味，故选A。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。答案定位在最后一段 It's a great example of how Chinese coffee is evolving.（这是中国咖啡发展的一个很好的例子。）由此可知，Samuel Gurel认为杨的咖啡豆值得称赞，故选A。
【点睛】细节理解题的解题思路：
细节理解题就是我们常见的wh-题，它们大多是根据文章中的具体信息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述等进行提问的。抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键，也是做好其它类型问题的基础。该题型几乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息，或是其变体。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节，做这类题一般采用寻读法，即先读题，然后带着问题快速阅读短文，找出与问题和选项有关的词语或句子，再对相关部分进行分析对比，找出答案。例如小题2，答案定位在第四段But the region's mild climate is also perfect for growing Arabica coffee.（但该地区温和的气候也非常适合种植Arabica咖啡。）由此可知，Arabica咖啡需要温和的气候才能生长，故选D。
D
“WHAT IS CIVILIZATION?” asked Kenneth Clark 50 years ago in the seminal BBC series on the subject. “I don’t know, and I can’t define it in abstract terms, yet. But I think I can recognize it when I see it, and I’m looking at it now.” And he turned to gesture behind him, at the soaring Gothic towers and flying buttresses of Notre Dame.
It seems inhuman to care more about a building than about people. That the sight of Notre Dame going up in flames has attracted so much more attention than floods in southern Africa which killed over 1,000 arouses understandable feelings of guilt. Yet the widespread, intense grief at the sight of the cathedral’s collapsing steeple is in fact profoundly human—and in a particularly 21st-century way.
It is not just the economy that is global today, it is culture too. People wander the world in search not just of jobs and security but also of beauty and history. Familiarity breeds affection. A building on whose sunny steps you have rested, in front of which you have taken a selfie with your loved one, becomes a warm part of your memories and thus of yourself. That helps explain why China is in mourning—WeChat, young China’s principal means of talking to itself, has been throbbing with the story, and Xi Jinping, the country’s president, sent a message of condolence to Emmanuel Macron, his French counterpart—while India was largely indifferent. Tourism from India to the West is a trickle compared with the flood from China.
This visual age has endowed beauty with new power, and social media have turned great works of art into superstars. Only a few, though, have achieved this status. Just as there is only ever a handful of world-famous actors, so the pantheon of globally recognizable cultural symbols is tiny: the Mona Lisa, Michelangelo’s David, the Taj Mahal, the Great Pyramid—and Notre Dame. Disaster, too, is visual. In the 24 hours after the fire started videos on social media of the burning cathedral were viewed nearly a quarter of a billion times.
Yet the emotions the sight aroused were less about the building itself than about what losing it might mean. Notre Dame is an expression of humanity at its collective best. Nobody could look up into that vaulted ceiling without wondering at the cumulative genius of the thousands of anonymous craftsmen who, over a century and a half, realized a vision so grand in its structural ambition and so delicate in its hand-chiselled detail. Its survival through 850 years of political turbulence—through war, revolution and Nazi occupation—binds the present to the past.
The fire also binds people to each other. The outpouring of emotion it has brought forth is proof that, despite the dark forces of division now abroad, we are all in it together. When nationalism is a rising threat, shared sadness makes borders suddenly irrelevant. When politics is polarized, a love of culture has the power to unite. When extremism divides Muslim from Christian and religious people from atheists, those of all faiths and none are mourning together. An edifice built for the glory of God also represents the unity of the human spirit.
And it will be rebuilt. The morning after the fire, the many Parisians who went to the cathedral to mourn its destruction found comfort instead. Although the spire is gone, the towers are still standing and it seems likely that the whole building can be revived. The effort to rebuild it, like the fire, will bring people together. Within 24 hours, €600m ($677m) had been raised from businesses and rich people, and a rash of crowdfunding campaigns started. A high-resolution laser scan of the building, carried out recently, should help.
It will never be the same, but that is as it should be. As Victor Hugo wrote in “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”, a three-volume love-letter to the cathedral: “Great edifices, like great mountains, are the work of centuries. Art is often transformed as it is being made…Time is the architect, the nation is the builder.”
45. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the fact that people care more about a building than floods in Africa?
A. indifferent B. critical
C. confused D. understandable
46. The underlined word “condolence” in Paragraph 3 means __________.
A. sympathy B. compliment
C. gratitude D. agreement
47. Why was India largely indifferent to the big fire of Notre Dame?
A. Because Indians care more about jobs and security.
B. Because Indians have no access to social media like WeChat.
C. Because Indians have less familiarity with Notre Dame.
D. Because Indians are not fond of travelling.
48. What can we infer from Paragraph 5 and 6?
A. People are more sad about losing the building than about what losing it might mean.
B. Not only does Notre Dame bind the present to the past but also binds people to each other.
C. Owing to the big fire, people around the world will unite forever despite their differences.
D. Unrest existed in history for quite a long time and it still exists now.
49. By saying “it will never be the same” the writer means that __________.
A. the high-resolution laser scan of the building helps but far from enough
B. it’s impossible to replicate (复制) it for lack of the cumulative genius of craftsmen
C. dark forces, nationalism and extremism are barriers to replicating it
D. time has changed and the rebuilding will change accordingly
50. What might be the best title of the passage?
A. What is civilization? B. Why do people care about Notre Dame?
C. What binds people together? D. How should we rebuild Notre Dame?

Social anxiety(社交恐惧症) is a type of anxiety problem. People with social anxiety can usually interact easily with family and a few close friends. Instead of enjoying social activities, they might fear them and avoid some of them altogether. Like other anxieties, it is a fear reaction to something that isn't actually dangerous, although the body and mind react as if the danger is real. Because the physical sensations that go with the response are real and sometimes quite strong the danger seems real. With social anxiety, a person's fears and concerns are focused on the social performance whether it's a major class presentation or small talk at the lockers. People tend to feel embarrassed and uncomfortable about being noticed or judged by others.
Social anxiety might prevent someone from chatting with friends in the lunchroom, joining an afterschool club, going to a party, or asking someone on a date. It might keep a person from volunteering an answer in class, reading aloud, or giving a presentation. It might prevent someone from acting the school play, being in the talent show, trying out for a team, or joining in a service project. It also prevents them from making the normal, everyday mistakes that help people improve their skills still further.
Social anxiety develops because the genetic features from parents and other relatives can influence how the brain senses and controls anxiety, shyness, nervousness, and stress reactions. Meanwhile, some people are born with a shy character and tend to be cautious and sensitive in new situations and prefer what's familiar. Naturally a person's shy character can be influenced by what he or she learns from role models. If parents or others react by overprotecting a child who is shy, the child won't have a chance to get used to new situations and new people. If people born with a cautious nature have stressful experiences, social anxiety can make them even more cautious and shy. Feeling pressured to interact in ways they don't feel ready for, being criticized or insulted, or having other fears and worries can make it more likely for a shy or fearful person to develop social anxiety.
Sometimes, but not always, medicines that reduce anxiety are used as part of the treatment. Family or friends are especially important and the right support from a few key people can help those with social anxiety gather the courage to go outside their comfort zone and try something new. Dealing with social anxiety takes patience, courage to face fears and try new things, and the willingness to practice.

Libraries in universities and scientific research institutes should be accessible to the public, according to a new law on public libraries adopted by the Standing Committee (常务委员会) of the National People's Congress, China's top legislature (立法机构). Beijing Youth Daily commented: Compared with their public counterparts, university libraries, the number of which is estimated to be at least 2，914, have a lot more books, but only students and teaching staff have access to them as most university libraries are not open to the public.
Thirtyfour university libraries in Beijing will accept visitors, and 12 of them have already begun to do so. Most of the dozen universities allow visitors to read in the library without the right to borrow books. However, it may still be a while before the public can visit some other university libraries in Beijing.

【答案】Possible version one：
According to a new law, libraries in universities and scientific research institutes should be open to the public. Although readers are accessible to some university libraries in Beijing, there's still a long way to go.
Personally, I agree with the policy. Above all, if resources in university libraries are not fully used it will be a big waste. Besides, one of the key social responsibilities of universities is to serve the society. Nowadays, fewer and fewer people are interested in reading books. You can always see many people playing games on their cellphones, instead of reading. Thus, the action is actually a way to encourage more people to pick up books.
However, only depending on universities and the government will not ensure the sustainable development of the policy. Therefore, it's necessary to absorb some social support, such as setting up community clubs that bring together resources of nearby universities and even middle schools.
Possible version two：
As a new law goes, libraries in universities and scientific research institutes should be open to the public. Some have begun to do so, while others still have difficulties for some reasons.
Personally, I hold an opposite view. Firstly, even if university libraries open to the public, it's still useless if people have no interests in reading. Secondly, opening universities to the public will add universities' burdens in many aspects. Finally, outsiders may be causes of breaking laws and loosing morals. Therefore, we shouldn't seek for a mere form, but put more emphasis on enhancing the quality of national citizens.
My suggestions are as follows: The government should increase inputs to build many public libraries in society providing books for the public. It would be better for visitors to borrow books instead of reading in the library. To open university libraries to the public, we need a gradual process.
