29、able to work under a lot of stress and long hours. In my country we are very close to our elderly people and that is what we show here.

30、 “support and love.” When she arrived in the UK, Vorobet started as a junior care worker on minimum wage in a home for older people in Petersfield, Hampshire. Seven years on and having studied for an NVQ in health and social care, she is a deputy（副的）care manager at StAnthonys residential care home i

Four years later, they returned for another scan in response to a request from the researchers.The study found that the left hippocampus was bigger and heavier in the healthy eaters than in the unhealthy ones, regardless of age

49、having a BMI that categorizes them as obese（肥胖的）.Is eating late at night, especially after 8 pm, really going to make you gain weight? One theory is that your metabolism（新陈代谢）slows down when you are asleep. 37 Thus the calories you eat right before bed would not be burned off as much as they would b

50、e while youre awake.Although the science seems pretty sound，recent studies have shown that metabolism changes very little, if at all, while you are asleep. 38 The heart is still beating, lungs are still working, and the brain is still very active. All of these actions take energy, meaning while we a

51、re asleep, we are still burning calories. 39 As we know, one physiological effect of insulin（胰岛素）is storing fat. Food being consumed late at night will more likely be stored away due to the higher levels of insulin present in the blood system. However, insulin levels at night are shown to be no diff

52、erent than insulin levels during mid-day. If it is true that eating with high insulin levels causes you to gain weight, anyone eating anytime after the morning will become fat.So how come individuals have higher BMIs when they snack at night? It is simply a result of eating too many calories. Snacks

53、 that individuals tend to eat during the night are usually high in sugar and calories, such as ice cream, candy, potato chips and soft drinks. Put simply, if you eat more calories than you burn, regardless of the time of the day, you will gain weight. 40 A. With a slow metabolism, few calories are b

54、eing burned.B. While asleep, your body still functions in many ways.C. All living matter undergoes a process of metabolism.D. The time these snacks are consumed does not matter.E. Without ever questioning it, people quickly assume this to be true.F. Besides, insulin levels are dramatically lower in

55、the morning than at night.G. Another theory is that late night snacking leads to rising insulin levels.第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。The town of Paradise has suffered a fire, which lasted 17 days and caused a loss of $16.5 billion.

106、多的专有名词，容易对理解文章产生障碍。龚露老师详细解析：A篇第21题 D 由第一段第二句可知，理想候选人要有工作经验，在快节奏的新闻环境中工作准确仔细。所以CGTN Digital在选择文字编辑时看重经验和能力。故选D。第22题 C 第一段最后一句“spot spelling, punctuation, grammar and syntax mistakes consistently”说明候选人需要有识别文本错误的能力，故选C第23题 C 最后一段是申请工作所需要的信息：一份简历和详细的求职信，目前和期望的薪水，相关的工作样本。故选C。B篇第24题 C 根据第二段，他们在山顶上尝试着去找之前的

107、登山者A和G的尸体，但是却没有找到，D选项错在他们没有体验15分钟之久。第25题 B 由第二段第二句可知，Edmund和Tenzing在攀爬路上发现了Andrew和George的尸体，说明他们在爬珠穆朗玛峰的路中遇难，故选B。第26题 A 由划线词所在句可知，珠穆朗玛峰提出了巨大的、不可预测的挑战，说明高海拔对人体生理压力极大，故选A。第27题 D 由第四段最后两句可知，排队向山顶的队伍因为需要排队，所以，造成了在山中致命地带的危险的停顿，故选D。C篇第28题 C 定位到第二段，讲述了12000个职位由于人口不足而空缺，这时Vorobet成为了很重要的一部分，因此强调的是外国看护人员的重要性，

108、本题答案选择C。第29题 A 本题考察Vorobet对于他们看护人员的想法，定位到第五段第一句，可以看到她们这些看护是把老人当作自己的祖父祖母看待的 She said her approach was to treat residents as if they were her own grandparents and provide similar levels of support and love. 因此本题答案为A.第30题 C 本题为推断题，这个句子的主语为the government因此只有可能是政府可以做出的决定，而之前提到的就是英国脱欧。因此定位到第三段，脱欧之后 there

109、would be no special treatment for carers, 因此答案选择C。第31题 B 本题考察文章主旨，通篇都是在讲述Vorobet一个外国人作为看护在脱欧之后的感想和叙述，与B项最为符合。D篇第32题 B 题目中涉及到了255个实验对象，因此可以定位到第一段最后两句，最后一句说到four years later, they returned for another scan in response to a request for the researchers她们回来是为了再做一次扫描来给实验提供数据，因此答案选择B。第33题 A 通读第二段的中心句(本段第一句

110、)，我们可以知道吃健康的食物是可以对海马体有积极的影响的。结下来的句子都围绕这个中心句展开。B,C,D第二段中都没有提到，属于无中生有。因此答案选择A。第34题 C 定位到最后一段，可以看到David Hogan这个人，主要是对脑部补品进行评价。Let the buyers be cautious 是他对补品的评价，因为他发现有些要是可以导致像抑郁症这样的副作用的。因此本题答案为C。第35题 A 本题考察文章题目的选择，本文都在讲健康的饮食对海马体的积极影响，四个选项当中只有A是符合健康饮食的，B中的益智药是作者不提倡的，CD文章中也没有重点提到，因此不能为标题。本题答案为A。7选5阅读答案：

111、36-40EABGD本文分析了吃零食太多会不会导致人变胖这个观点的真实性，得出的结论是无论你什么时候吃，只要你的摄入超出你的消耗能力，你就会增肥。详细解析：第36题 E 此句为设问句，在7选5阅读中，设问句通常会自问自答，即很多人相信在深夜吃东西会增肥。第37题 A 根据前句的关键词your metabolism slows down 我们可知，能量消耗就少，这个属于因果链中的结果。第38题 B 根据后句的关键词，still beating, still working, still very active, 可知，我们需要一个主旨句，即your body still functions in

112、 many ways. 第39题 G 此句属于段与段之间的并列关系，即与第一段的one theory ,这里属于another theory. 再根据后半句的insulin is storing fat可知，此处在讲脂肪的储存问题，应该选G。第40题 D 这句话应该是一个结论句式，即你摄入食物的时间与你增不增肥没有必然的关系。03完形填空答案：41-45 DABCB46-50 ADBAD 51-55 BDCAB这篇完型主要讲了一场火灾后人们的精神重建，一场火灾摧毁了城镇，但画家通过绘画使火灾的受害者感受到希望的故事。文章本身理解起来较容易，所考察的词汇也较为简单，主要考察学生词义辨析和固定搭配

113、，属于较简单的完型，可能的难题是46,51。详细解析：第41题 根据前面说经历了一场大火，并且主语是place可知，这里是它失去了它的美丽，选lost。第42题 根据前文他很关注，并且后面图片展示的是很惨烈的景象可知，这里是他很想去帮忙，但觉无力是urgent。如果选B，说明S这个人乐于帮助。第43题 根据这里是经历了大火，并且主语是chimney可知，这里是只有烟囱存留了下来，选remained。第44 题 根据Grammer是一个艺术家以及下一段花了三小时在烟囱上画画可知，这里是想要在烟囱上画画，paint。第45题 B第46题 strikingly beautiful 为固定搭配，表示超

114、级好看。第47题 act as a reminder 为固定搭配。第48题 根据前面用的是“一看到它”以及其说的话可知，这里是火灾的受害者情难自禁，因此选contain，cant contain oneself表示控制不住自己的情感。第49题 这里是和beauty并列，并且根据前面都是褒奖，且是火灾的情境可知，这里是他带来了美和希望，并且与倒数第二段的light照应。第50题 根据前面受害者受到了鼓舞以及后面Grammer自己说的话可知，这里是单纯的艺术表达改变了更加深层次的东西，填deeper，即改变了人们的精神。第51题 根据画感动了很多人，而且后面Grammer又去花了很多壁画（mura

115、l）可知，这里是他回去接着画了，选come back。A是退回，B是回归，C是带回，D是阻止，只有B符合。第52题 这里which指代three months，因此选during，在三个月期间他又画了很多壁画。第53题 根据后面是movement运动，并且后来他去世界各地画画，带来光明可知，这里是变成了一场运动，develop into。第54题 分析句意可知，前半句是结果，后半句是原因，所以选since，因为推土机，烟囱上的壁画也没有保存很久。第55题 烟囱的壁画代表着乐园精神的崛起，因此选rising。04语法填空答案：56. which 57. industries 58. but 59

116、. to change 60. quickly61. into/to 62. employee(s )63. protecting 64. are delivered65. make这篇文章讲了如何使你的雇员们保持工作与生活之间的平衡，对于孩子们分析句式的能力要求比较高，比如第65题。详细解析:（因为语法填空比较简单，在此只附上难题的解析）第65题 前句if 这句话是条件状语从句，这句话没有主句，所以用祈使句做主句。5作文第一节:应用文写作（满分15分)Dear Jack,Knowing that you won the first prize in the Chinese Bridge Co
