90、mber crying in middle school when I had to run a mile during gym class. I huffed and puffed as I jogged. As I grew up, I would go to the gym, but I never enjoyed working out. That, I thought, was for real runners.In June 2017, my friend sent me an email that would forever change my attitude towards
91、running. He was training for a 200-mile relay (接力赛) and wanted me to be on his team. I would run three legs between four and six miles each over the course of two days. Figuring that I would never again have the chance to work with some top runners, I immediately agreed, and started running outside
92、to prepare.That first run was hard. I purposefully avoided Central Park in order to stay away from real runners. After a few blocks, I was already winded, and ran the rest of the way home. I called my mom, choked up, to say I had no hope at all of running this relay. But she encouraged me to keep at

113、 or her employer to do anything from wardrobe management to chauffeuring to pet care.”（一个私人管家可以被他或她的雇主要求做任何事情，从衣柜管理到司机到宠物护理。），可知一个私人管家可以按照雇主的要求什么都能做，换句话说，一个私人管家应该能够为他的客户量身打造他的服务。故选B项。【61题详解】短语猜测题。由第四段中的“To succeed as a butler, you needa service mind, says Vestin. You must have the mindset of someone
114、 who genuinely thrives on looking after others. You cannot do the job without this, even if you were an amazing actor.

137、Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.The World Needs ZoosZoos play an important role in the world for conservation and education. They are particul
138、arly important for endangered species. Many animals are critically endangered and may go extinct in the wild, but in zoos, they are going strong. Many others are already extinct in the wild and only survive thanks to populations kept in captivity(圈禁). Even those critical of zoos often recognize that
139、 it is better to have species preserved somewhere than lose them altogether. _67_Take the ring-tailed lemur of Madagascar(环尾狐猴)for example. These lemurs are almost common in zoos as they breed well in captivity and the public are fond of them. However, despite their high numbers in collections aroun
140、d the world, they are the most threatened mammalian group on the planet. A recent survey suggests that up to 95 percent of the wild populations have been lost since 2000. _68_One bad year or a new disease could wipe out those which still remain in the wild.Such trends are not isolated. The giraffe i
141、s another very common species in zoos. Unlike the lemurs, giraffes are widespread in the countries across much of sub-Saharan Africa. Yet giraffe populations have gone down by a third in the last thirty years. While less dramatic than the drop in lemur numbers, this is obviously a major loss and aga
142、in, whole populations (which some scientists think are of unique subspecies) are on the verge of extinction._69_ Ongoing and future issues from climate change can have unexpected effects on wildlife. It will become more difficult for conservationists to predict which species might be at risk. As it
143、is, experts are struggling to continue monitoring the species that are already known to be vulnerable, so it is easy to see why common species might be overlooked. People might not take the great loss of local species seriously on the assumption that these animals are heavily populated elsewhere, bu
144、t unfortunately that is not always the case.There will, I suspect, always be resistance to the argument for keeping animals in captivity and I will not defend the zoos that are badly managed and in desperate need of improvement or closure. But if we wish to keep any real measure of biodiversity on t
145、he planet, we may have to lean on zoos far more than many people realize. _70_A. This is a trend that is only expected to continue.B. This means that the remaining individuals are at serious risk.C. Those species that are held in zoos are already protected from any such events and trends.D. In fact,
146、 species that are common can also come under serious threat before people realize it.E. Climate change has harmed over half mammal species on the endangered species list.F. If even common species can lose their population in only several years, it may be too late to save them in the wild.【答案】67. D 6
147、8. B 69. A 70. F【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。世界需要动物园。动物园在保护和教育方面扮演着重要的角色。它们对濒危物种尤其重要。许多动物处于极度濒危状态，在野外可能会灭绝，但在动物园里，它们正在茁壮成长。还有很多已经在野外灭绝了，只有人工饲养才能存活下来。【67题详解】根据上文提示“Even those critical of zoos often recognize that it is better to have species preserved somewhere than lose them altogether. ”（即使是那些对动物园持批评态度的人也常常认识到
148、，把物种保存在某个地方总比把它们全部灭绝要好。）由此可知，D项In fact, species that are common can also come under serious threat before people realize it.（事实上，一些常见的物种在人们意识到之前也会受到严重的威胁。）切题。该项承接上文，under serious threat与上文的lose them相吻合。故选D。【68题详解】根据上文提示“A recent survey suggests that up to 95 percent of the wild populations have been
149、 lost since 2000.”（最近的一项调查显示，自2000年以来，高达95%的野生种群已经消失。）再根据下文提示“One bad year or a new disease could wipe out those which still remain in the wild.”（一个糟糕的年份或一种新的疾病可能会消灭那些仍在野外生存的物种。）承接上下文，B项This means that the remaining individuals are at serious risk.（这意味着剩下的个体处于严重的危险之中。）切题。该项中的this指代上文内容，the remaining
150、 individuals are at serious risk与下文的wipe out those which still remain in the wild相吻合。故选B。【69题详解】根据下文提示“Ongoing and future issues from climate change can have unexpected effects on wildlife.”（气候变化带来的持续和未来问题会对野生动物产生意想不到的影响。）由此可知，A项This is a trend that is only expected to continue.（这种趋势预计只会持续下去。）切题。该项中
151、的a trend指的就是上文内容。故选A。【70题详解】根据上文提示“But if we wish to keep any real measure of biodiversity on the planet, we may have to lean on zoos far more than many people realize.”（但是，如果我们希望在地球上保持任何真正的生物多样性标准，我们对动物园的依赖可能比许多人意识到的要多得多。）承接上文，F项If even common species can lose their population in only several years
152、, it may be too late to save them in the wild.（如果即使是普通物种也能在短短几年内失去数量，那么要在野外拯救它们可能就太晚了。）切题。该项中的be too late to save them in the wild与上文的have to lean on zoos far more than many people realize保持一致。故选F。IV.

While the Nordic country is still singled out as a rarity for taking the cashless route, it wont be long before more countries join it by venturing down the same path.One of the biggest benefits of getting rid of cash is the elimination of its anonymity (匿名性). Cash plays a major role in
155、 the crime world, which makes going cashless a more transparent (透明的) alternative. Since all digital transactions leave a record behind, anyone with an interest in learning about the cash flow of a business or individual could easily trace where the money came from.There is another benefit to cashle

For those services, intermediaries charge predefined fees that are always paid by the customers.However, we should not rush into
157、things. A completely digital system would leave a lot of people on the outside looking in not just the homeless, but also the elderly who would not know how to deal with cashless systems.Going cashless also has the issue of trace-ability. In a time where there are major concerns surrounding security
