主题语境:人与自我　做人与做事
There is a story about a man who lost his legs and left arm in an accident.After the accident,only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained.
He was a brilliant,creative,and educated man.He had gained a lot of experience while travelling around the world,so he became very depressed after his accident.He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way.Then,he realised that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult.An idea occurred to him.“Why not write to other people who need encouragement ”
He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners.The prison minister replied,“Writing to the prisoners is acceptable,but your letters will not be answered.”
Filled with excitement,the man knew he could write his letters.He began sending one-way messages of God’s love,hope,strength,and encouragement.He wrote twice a week,testing his strength and ability to the limit.He poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience,sense of humour,optimism,and faith.
It was difficult to write those letters,especially without hope of a reply.One day he received a letter from the prison ministry.It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail.
The letter said,“Please write on the best paper you can afford.Your letters are passed from cell to cell until they literally fall to pieces!”
No matter what circumstances life may present,we all have unique experiences,abilities,and God-given talents.We can discover ways to reach others who desperately need messages of encouragement and strength.
【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个聪明的男人,在交通事故中失去双腿和左臂后,凭借自己的能力和才华,给监狱里的犯人写了充满爱、希望和鼓励的信,让自己的生活充满意义。
1.According to the prison minister,　　　.
A.the man was not allowed to write to the prisoners
B.the man couldn’t go to see the prisoners himself
C.he was not sure if the prisoners liked receiving the letters
D.the prisoners were not allowed to answer the letters
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“The prison minister replied,‘Writing to the prisoners is acceptable,but your letters will not be answered.’” 可知,监狱长告诉故事主人公,写信可以,但是不会收到回信。这句话使用了一般将来时,很肯定地表明事实不会收到回信。可知,犯人不可以回信。
2.In order to live in a meaningful way,the man began to　　　.
A.receive the school education
B.meet the people who are depressed
C.write to other people who need encouragement
D.help other people with lost arms and legs
答案C
解析细节理解题。由第二段中的“An idea occurred to him.‘Why not write to other people who need encouragement ’” 以及第四段中的“He began sending one-way messages of God’s love,hope,strength,and encouragement.”可知,故事主人公想出了给需要鼓励的人写信的主意,并且在与监狱长确认后,他开始写信。也就是说为了生活得更有意义,故事主人公开始给需要鼓励的人写信。
3.From the officer’s short note we are told that 　　　.
A.the man would be offered free paper to write letters on
B.his letters were very popular among the prisoners
C.the prisoners eagerly wanted to write back to the man
D.some of the prisoners were not satisfied with his letters
答案B
解析推理判断题。由第六段中的“Your letters are passed from cell to cell until they literally fall to pieces!”可知,故事主人公的信被从一个囚室传到另一个囚室,直到碎成纸屑。可以推出故事主人公的信在犯人之间很受欢迎。
4.What can be the best title for the passage
A.Special Letters of Encouragement
B.Popularity of Special Letters
C.Stories about a Humorous Person
D.Life in the Prison
答案A
解析主旨大意题。这是一篇记叙文,文章中心体现在最后一段:无论我们身处什么环境,我们总有自己的长处,并能找到方法去帮助那些需要鼓励和力量的人。A选项中的“Special Letters”体现了故事主人公的处境,“Encouragement”体现了故事主人公内心的力量。

One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before.There was a man sick in bed,his wife,who took care of him and could not go out to work,and their little boy.The little boy—his name was Bernard—had interested her very much.
“I wish you could see him,”she said to her own children,John,Harry,and Clara.“He is such a help to his mother.He wants very much to earn some money,but I don’t see what he can do.”
After their mother left the room,the children sat thinking about Bernard.“I wish we could help him to earn money,”said Clara.“His family is suffering so much.”
“So do I,”said Harry.“We really should do something to assist them.”
For some moments,John said nothing,but,suddenly,he sprang to his feet and cried,“I have a great idea!I have a solution that we can all help accomplish(完成).”
The other children also jumped up all attention.When John had an idea,it was sure to be a good one.“I tell you what we can do,”said John.“You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us Well,we can make popcorn(爆米花),and put it into paper bags,and Bernard can take it around to the houses and sell it.”

I’ll try right now.”They worked together until all the corn they prepared was all popped,the paper bags filled and arranged in the basket.
With everything ready,Bernard started out on his new business.Much sooner than expected,he returned with an empty basket.He had never earned so much money before in his life.For many weeks,the Meredith family continued to offer popcorn to Bernard.People began to watch for the “little popcorn boy”,and every week he had at least fifty cents,a significant income for him and his family,to take home.All of this was thanks to the good idea that John came up with.Unit 5WORKING THE LAND

主题语境:人与自然　自然生态
The organic food has gained a lot of popularity as they are being considered healthier and tastier.A fair number of people advocate a large-scale shift to organic farming from conventional agriculture.But this might not seem well-founded.
Since the mid-19th century,conventional industrial agriculture has become incredibly efficient on a simple land to food basis.Conventional farming gets more and more crop per square foot of land,which can mean less wilderness needs to be transformed to farmland.
To make farming more efficient,conventional agriculture uses a significant amount of synthetic fertiliser(合成肥料)each year,and all that nitrogen(氮)enables much faster plant growth.However,the cost is paid in vast polluted dead zones at the months of many of the world’s rivers,because much of the nitrogen ends up running off the soil and into the oceans.This also makes conventional farming one of the major threats to the environment.
To weaken the environmental impact of agriculture,improve soil quality as well as produce healthier foods,some farmers have turned to organic farming.Environmentalists have also welcomed organic food as better for the planet than the food produced by agricultural corporations.Organic practices—refusing artificial fertilisers and chemical pesticides—are considered far more sustainable.Sales of organic food rose 7.7% in 2010,up to $26.7 billion—and people are making those purchases for their moral senses as much as their tongues.
Yet a new meta-analysis in Nature does the math and comes to a hard conclusion:organic farming produces 25% fewer crops on average than conventional agriculture.
In the Nature analysis,scientists performed an analysis of 66 studies comparing conventional and organic methods across 34 different crop species,from fruits to grains.They found that organic farming delivered a lower output for every crop type,though the difference varied widely.For crops like fruit trees,organic farming trailed(落后于)conventional agriculture by just 5%.Yet for major grain crops and vegetables—all of which provide the world’s main calories—conventional agriculture outperformed organic farming by more than 25%.
What that means is that while organic farming may be more sustainable than conventional agriculture,there are trade-offs(此消彼长)with each.So an ideal global agriculture system may borrow the best from both systems rather than upholding merely organic or conventional practices.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。有机食品越来越受欢迎,人们认为它们更健康、更美味。一个理想的全球农业系统可以从有机农业和传统农业中获得最好的利益,而不是仅仅支持有机或常规的做法。
1.What do we know about conventional farming
A.It produces more crops with fewer fertilisers.
B.It achieves efficiency at a huge cost to the environment.
C.If offers a long-term solution to global demand for food.
D.It performs far better for each crop type than organic farming.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Since the mid-19th century,conventional industrial agriculture has become incredibly efficient on a simple land to food basis.”和第三段最后一句“This also makes conventional farming one of the major threats to the environment.”可知,传统农业以牺牲环境的巨大代价来实现生产效率。
2.What does the author most probably agree with
A.Employing organic farming to plant rice.
B.Adopting organic practices to grow potatoes.
C.Using conventional methods to plant cabbage.
D.Applying conventional farming to grow apples.
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后两句“For crops like fruit trees,organic farming trailed conventional agriculture by just 5%.Yet for major grain crops and vegetables—all of which provide the world’s main calories—conventional agriculture outperformed organic farming by more than 25%.”可知作者最可能同意用传统的方法种植卷心菜。
3.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage
A.To compare two types of farming.
B.To criticise conventional agriculture.
C.To discuss the development of farming.
D.To argue for a realistic agriculture system.
答案D
解析写作意图题。根据最后一段可知作者写本文的目的是主张建立一个现实的农业体系。

(2020全国Ⅰ卷)
The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research.Recent studies have found positive effects.A study conducted in Youngstown,Ohio,for example,discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime.In another,employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.
The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have taken it a step further—changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse,even unusual functions.These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater.“We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,”explained Michael Strano,a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.
One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow(发光) in experiments using some common vegetables.Strano’s team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours.The light,about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by,is just a start.The technology,Strano said,could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self-powered street lamps.
In the future,the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant’s lifetime.The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off “switch” where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight.
Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US.Since lighting is often far removed from the power source(电源)—such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway—a lot of energy is lost during transmission(传输).Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了麻省理工学院开展的研究,力求用发光的植物代替日常用品的功能。用普通蔬菜来发光照亮房间,甚至将树木变成自供电的街灯。
4.What is the first paragraph mainly about
A.A new study of different plants.
B.A big fall in crime rates.
C.Employees from various workplaces.
D.Benefits from green plants.
答案D
解析段落大意题。由文章第一段可知,一项研究发现,城市绿化率越高的区域犯罪率越低;另一项研究发现,工作环境有室内植物装饰时,员工的效率提高15%。由此可知,本段主要讲绿色植物的好处。故选D项。
5.What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineers
A.To detect plants’ lack of water.
B.To change compositions of plants.
C.To make the life of plants longer.
D.To test chemicals in plants.
答案A
解析细节理解题。由文章第二段中的“These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water”可知,麻省理工学院的工程师们之所以在植物叶子上放置传感器,是想监测植物的缺水状况。故选A项。
6.What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future
A.They will speed up energy production.
B.They may transmit electricity to the home.
C.They might help reduce energy consumption.
D.They could take the place of power plants.
答案C
解析推理判断题。由文章最后两段,尤其是最后一段中的“Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.”可推知,将来这种发光植物可能会有助于降低能源消耗。故选C项。
7.Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A.Can we grow more glowing plants
B.How do we live with glowing plants
C.Could glowing plants replace lamps
D.How are glowing plants made pollution-free
答案C
解析标题归纳题。文章开门见山,指出人类与植物的联系一直是科研的主题;然后讲述麻省理工学院开展的研究,力求用植物代替日常用品的功能;接下来进一步阐述用普通蔬菜来发出光照亮房间,甚至将树木变成自供电的街灯。由此可知,文章最佳标题为:发光的植物能替代街灯吗 故选C项。Section B　Learning about Language

Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own.She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves:nursing.She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home.She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids.Jennifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree:Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills,and her 68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times.
Through it all,she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors.Jennifer sacrificed(牺牲) to achieve her goal,giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study.“Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,”she says.However,her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree.Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family—and that’s pretty powerful.

参考答案
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了嫦娥四号无人探测器在月球背面成功着陆,彰显了中国成为第一个使探测器在月球背面着陆的国家的民族自豪感。
1.touched　考查动词的时态。分析句子成分可知,主语为The unmanned Chang’e-4 probe,设空处为谓语动词,根据空后的last week可知,此处应用一般过去时。
2.extremely　考查副词。此处修饰形容词challenging,应用副词形式。
3.where　考查定语从句。先行词是一个表示地点的名词spot,并且引导词在从句中充当地点状语,故用关系副词where。
4.interest　考查名词。“be+of+抽象名词”为固定搭配。
5.than　考查介词。前面的more是提示,构成比较结构。
6.to find　考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知,这里用不定式短语做目的状语。
7.means　考查动词的时态。根据上文的时态可知此处应用一般现在时,这里用it做主语,故用mean的第三人称单数形式。
8.is constructed　考查动词的时态和语态。分析句子结构可知,moon与动词construct之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故用被动语态。
9.much　考查形容词。设空处后面的ice是不可数名词,故用much修饰。
10.its　考查代词。由后面的名词plans可知,此处应使用形容词性物主代词。故用its。
Ⅵ.概要写作
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
It is early in the morning and I’ve hardly caught any shut-eye.My breakfast of eggs,bread and strong coffee will keep me awake and alert before lunch.After lunch,I will face an afternoon of yawning in the office.Sometimes I feel uneasy about this situation but I am sure that I am not alone,for it is not too much to say that we all seem to be yawning more often.Are we turning into a generation of insomniacs (患失眠症的人) How is modern life influencing our sleep patterns
We can start by blaming the light bulb and other forms of man-made light.Experts say that on average people go to bed and wake up two hours later than the previous generation.Then,there are the computers.Research led by Professor Charles Czeisler of Harvard Medical School has shown that people who read electronic books before going to bed take longer time to fall asleep.They have lower levels of melatonin,a chemical which controls our body clock.And they’re less active in the morning.Professor Czeisler said,“In the past 50 years,there has been a decrease in average sleep length and quality.Since more people are choosing electronic devices for reading,communication and entertainment,especially teenagers who already experience serious sleep loss,research on the long-term influence of these devices on health and safety is urgently needed.”
So the first thing to do if you want to have a restful night is leave computers out of the bedroom.The earlier you get your fingers off the keyboard,the sooner you tend to fall asleep.Avoid alcohol,as it might reduce our cycles of the “rapid eye movement” sleep,when our brains process the information we have received during the day.It prevents our brain activity from going well.And do not eat nuts or cheese in the evening.
After that,if you still cannot sleep,start counting sheep.Maybe that is the best way to avoid another afternoon of yawning in the office.





参考范文
Modern people suffer from sleeplessness and consequently get into a state of tiredness easily.(要点1) This phenomenon results from the negative effects of artificial light and computers.(要点2) So in order to solve the problem,people are advised to reject computers,resist alcohol as well as refuse nuts or cheese before bedtime.(要点3)Even counting sheep may help solve the problem in some way.(要点4)第四单元测评

When I was five or six years old,I remember watching TV and seeing other children suffer in other parts of the world.I would say to myself,“When I grow up,when I can get rich,I will save kids all over the world.”
At 17,I started my career here in America,and by the age of 18,I started my first charity organisation.I went on to team up with other organisations in the following years,and met,helped,and even lost some of the most beautiful souls,from six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia (白血病),whose story inspired thousands of people to volunteer as donors,to my grandmother,who lost her battle with cancer in 2012,which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation(CLF).We’re all human.And we all just want a chance: a chance at life,a chance in education,a chance at a future,really.And at CLF,our mission is to impact as many lives as possible,but it starts with just one.
People make it seem too hard to do charity work.The truth is,you don’t have to be rich to help others.You don’t need to be famous.You don’t even have to be college-educated.But it starts with your neighbour,the person right next to you,the person sitting next to you in class,the kid down the block in your neighbourhood.You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can.And today,I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person,one organisation,one situation that touches your heart.My grandmother always used to say,“If you’ve got a dollar,there’s plenty to share.”

Meeting people from another culture can be difficult.From the beginning,people may send the wrong signal.Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree.For example,business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust.Even with people at work,it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”,usually over a cup of tea,before they do any job.In many European countries—like the UK or France—people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafés rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures.I once made a speech in Thailand.I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion;instead,there was an uncomfortable silence.The people present just stared at me and smiled.After getting to know their ways better,I realised that they thought I was talking too much.In my own culture,we express meaning mainly through words,but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe,cultural differences can cause serious problems.Certainly,English and German cultures share similar values;however,Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly.We think that they are rude.In fact,this is just because the culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values,and sometimes these values are quite against each other.However,if we can understand them better,a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.
【语篇解读】本文为说明文。作者主要介绍在不同的文化背景下,人们具有不同的价值观,如何才能做到更好地理解彼此。

C.Getting to know each other.
D.Keeping each other company.

29.What does the author want to show when mentioning his experience in Thailand
A.The English prefer to make long speeches.
B.Too many words are of no use.
C.People from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature.
D.Even talk and silence can be culturally different.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第三段前两句“Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures.I once made a speech in Thailand.”可知作者提到在泰国的例子就是说明“谈话”“沉默”体现不同文化。
30.According to the text,how can people from different cultures understand each other better

答案B
解析主旨大意题。本文主要介绍跨文化交际的问题,在不同文化背景下人们怎么才能更好地互相理解。故答案为B项。
D
The hit movie Notting Hill begins with a famous scene.Hugh Grant knocks into Julia Roberts and spills orange juice all over her.After it happened,Grant repeatedly says,“I’m so sorry.I’m so sorry.”
His actions in this scene are very British.If Roberts’ character were from Britain,then she would probably apologise repeatedly as well—even if it were not her fault.But this doesn’t happen in the movie,as Roberts is from the US.
A report in The Telegraph once said that three quarters of British people apologise when they ran into someone in the street—regardless of whether they are responsible or not.In fact,the British use “sorry” in many situations.For example,if they mishear someone,they say “Sorry ” The person they are talking to will also apologise by replying,“No,I am sorry!” This can go on for up to five minutes as they compete for who is the most sorry.
Why are the British so sorry Mark Tyrrell,a psychology writer in the UK,thinks that their apologetic tendencies are rooted in the British class system.“We say sorry because historically the new middle class in Britain had to apologise for not being the working class,but also for not really being the upper class.” Another theory is that they apologise to avoid conflicts.For example,if they bump into someone,he might get angry.To avoid this,they instantly say “Sorry!”
True manners are about being considerate,and today’s constant use of apologising shows that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were.The word “sorry” has lost some of its meaning.Do you see my point Sorry,it might just be a British thing.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了英国人的道歉文化及其原因:一是因为历史上英国的新中产阶级;二是为了避免冲突。
32.Why does the author mention a scene in the movie Notting Hill at the beginning
A.To give an example of British modesty.
B.To introduce different ways of saying sorry.
C.To show what kind of men are considered gentlemen in the UK.
D.To draw our attention to when and how British people say sorry.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第一段的描述可知,文章开头以电影为例,描述了英国人道歉的场景,引出文章的主题——英国的道歉文化。
33.Which of the following statements might Mark Tyrrell agree with
A.People should not apologise if they are not responsible.
B.Americans care less about manners than British people do.
C.That British people apologise so much is linked to the class system.
D.British people care too much about which social class they are from.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Mark Tyrrell...thinks that their apologetic tendencies are rooted in the British class system.”可知,Mark Tyrrell认为英国人的道歉根源于其阶级制度。由此可推断,C项正确。
34.What can be inferred from the passage
A.It’s unnecessary for British people to be so polite.
B.The overuse of apologising shows Britons are truly sincere.
C.People should give up the traditional use of the word “sorry”.
D.Using “sorry” more doesn’t necessarily mean people are more polite.

35.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage
A.To explore the best way of saying sorry.
B.To explain why the British overuse the word “sorry”.
C.To show how saying sorry has changed over time.
D.To suggest many British people lack traditional manners.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据全文内容可知,本文由电影场景引入主题,介绍了英国的道歉文化,并介绍了英国人道歉的原因及今天道歉的意义,主要目的是介绍英国人过量道歉的原因。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to start a conversation with
someone you don’t know
Introduce Yourself
It’s not necessary to be clever when you introduce yourself.Simply focus on being genuine and sincere.When you approach the other person to start the conversation,give him a warm smile and clearly state your name.　36　 Remember to speak at a regular pace,taking care not to speak too quickly or slowly,so that the other person will have no difficulty understanding you.
Begin the Conversation
　37　 A comment about the weather or a current event may be most appropriate.Avoid beginning the conversation with anything too personal,as this may make the other person feel uncomfortable to continue the conversation.After you make your opening comments,give the person enough time to respond.Show a sincere interest in the thoughts he expresses about the subject.
Continue the Conversation
If you are building a rapport,feel free to move on to a bit more personal topics to continue the conversation.　38　 Open-ended questions—those that can’t be answered by a simple “yes” or “no”—help to keep a conversation going.
　39　
When you have run out of things to say or need to move on to do something else,prepare your exit strategy.You may say that you need to use the bathroom or catch up with someone else.Let the other person know how much you enjoyed talking to her.　40　
A.End the Conversation.
B.Bring up a general topic to begin the conversation.
C.This will help keep the conversation flowing freely.
D.If appropriate,make plans to talk again at a later date.
E.Your conversational partner will feel valued and appreciated.
F.Explain who you are and why you want to have the conversation.
G.You may want to ask about his favourite hobby,his career,his classes or upcoming events.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了和陌生人交谈的技巧。如:介绍自己;开始交谈;继续交谈和结束交谈等。
36.F　本部分的小标题为“介绍自己”。根据前面的“说清楚你的名字”可知,F项“解释你是谁,为什么想交谈”符合语境。
37.B　本部分的小标题是“开始交谈”。和陌生人交谈需要有合适的话题,B项“提出一个一般话题来开始交谈”与上文语意相符。
38.G　根据上文的“私人的话题”可知,G项中的“也许你想问一下他的爱好、职业、课程和即将到来的事件”可承接上文。
39.A　根据前面的“开始交谈;继续交谈”可知,此处应为“结束谈话”,所以选A项。
40.D　本部分主要介绍如何结束交谈。D项“如果合适的话,计划稍后再谈”符合语意。

Last but not least,they are 64.　　　　　 (benefit) for people with allergy problems — they can cut your grass while you sit far away,reading your favourite novel fort.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了机器人割草机的优点。
56.designed　考查非谓语动词。设空处作后置定语修饰robot lawn mowers,design与robot lawn mowers之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,且design所表示的动作已发生,故填designed。
57.being　考查非谓语动词。此处是with复合结构作状语,因global warming与be之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,且be所表示的状态与谓语动词所表示的状态同时存在,故填being。
58.quietly　考查副词。设空处修饰谓语动词work,故填副词quietly。
59.was found　考查语态。由After careful assessment可知,此处用一般过去时,又因noise与find之间是被动关系,故填was found。
60.to return　考查非谓语动词。warn sb/sth to do sth意为“提醒某人/某物做某事”。
61.the　考查冠词。on the other hand 意为“另一方面”。
62.or/otherwise　考查连词。设空处连接两个分句,表示“否则,要不然”,故填or/otherwise。
63.that/which　考查定语从句。设空处引导限制性定语从句修饰先行词items,且在从句中作主语,故填that/which。
64.beneficial　考查形容词。设空处作表语,意为“有益的,有帮助的”,故填beneficial。
65.in　考查介词。in comfort意为“舒适地”。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I always wondered how people would react if I tried to approach a total stranger for help in a busy place like a street corner or in a bustling mall.I personally have always hurried past a stranger who tried to catch my attention in a busy place or when I am rushing around.
Yesterday I had a taste of being stuck in such a desperate situation where my only hope of help would have to come from a total stranger.
I was in a busy shopping mall buying a large piece of luggage.After the purchase in one of the large,fancy,expensive shops,I picked up my phone from my pocket to call my driver waiting in the parking lot and my phone was dead.
I then requested the shop assistant who had just sold me the luggage,which was not cheap at all,if she could ring the number of my driver for me.She replied,still all smiles,“I’m sorry sir,but it is the shop policy that we cannot use mobile phones while working in the shop.”
As I was wondering what kind of policy that was,I saw a nice-looking teenage boy coming toward me.Remembering my wife’s interesting theory that beautiful people are more likely to give you a hand when you’re in trouble,I thought I might have a chance.But before I could say a word,he walked past me.It turned out he simply didn’t see me.
I waited a bit longer in the mall but it seemed nobody bothered to look at me.Disappointed and tired,I got out of the shop onto the busy street in front.I stood there with people rushing by,looking at their faces to see if there was a sign of kindness on their face.I began wondering how many times I had reacted to strangers like the shop girl and the teenager.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
At that point I saw a young mother with her two kids.





Finally,a man wearing a cheap T-shirt and dirty jeans seemed to notice me.






参考范文
At that point I saw a young mother with her two kids.I thought that a beautiful woman with charming blue eyes must be willing to help me.So,with great expectation,I trotted briskly towards her with an appropriate smile on my face,and requested courteously if she could be kind enough to make a phone call for me.However,what I saw was a woman’s face disfigured by frowns and what I heard was a sound of dismay and suspicion under her breath.Without a word,she pulled her kids to escape from me,as if scared by a murderer.I stood there,motionless,with a blank face and a sinking heart.
Finally,a man wearing a cheap T-shirt and dirty jeans seemed to notice me.I squeezed a smile though it failed to mask my weariness,and requested him the same thing.Unexpectedly,he took out his mobile phone for me without hesitation or any probing questions.Dancing in his eyes was the real kindness that I had been struggling to seek for so long.From that day on,I began helping other strangers in distress,just like the poor-looking but kind man,with the aim of passing kindness and melting the ice in many people’s hearts.Unit 1　PEOPLE OF ACHIEVEMENT

答案A
解析一些人可能会对他为何(why)选择待在森林树端五个多月心存疑惑。
2.A.water B.animals

答案A
解析“我”不能忍受(bear)这些森林会永远消失的想法。
4.A.sold B.stolen

解析“我”打理新生活,放弃(let go of)“我”原来的工作计划,爬到六十米高的树端。
6.A.refreshing B.risky

10.A.Beyond B.Without

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了一位90岁的英国女士仍然坚持工作,被评为“年度女性”的事迹。
1.being　考查非谓语动词。for是介词,后接动词时要用动词-ing形式。
2.which　考查定语从句。先行词是the pet shop,关系词在非限制性定语从句中做宾语,所以填which。
3.finally　考查副词。分析句子成分可知,所填的词在句中做状语,所以用副词形式。
4.declared　考查时态。根据下文的“she had no plans”可知,此处讲述的是过去发生的事情,所以用一般过去时。
5.to retire　考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知,plans后接动词不定式做定语。
6.have made　考查时态。根据句中的时间状语“over the years”可知,句子应用现在完成时。
7.but　考查连词。分析句子结构可知,此处是“not...but...”结构,意为“不是……而是……”。
8.saying　考查非谓语动词。call和say有逻辑上的主谓关系,所以用动词-ing形式来解释call的内容。
9.a　考查冠词。joke是单数可数名词,此处是泛指,所以填a。
10.wonderful　考查形容词。所填的词在句中做表语,所以用形容词形式。
Ⅵ.概要写作
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
The hobby is a good thing a person gets from childhood.It can be developed at any age;however,it’s best to get it from childhood.We all do some kind of work according to our interest which can give us happiness and joy and that is called hobbies.Some people get different hobbies according to their interest,likes and dislikes.
There are many types of hobbies we can develop such as dancing,singing,drawing,playing indoor or outdoor games,birdwatching,writing,eating,reading,sports,gardening,music,watching TV,cooking,talking.Our hobbies help us in earning a livelihood and making a successful career.The hobby is something we can fully enjoy in our free time.
My hobbies are cooking,listening to music and gardening;however,I always prefer gardening.Gardening makes me relaxed and gives me more happiness.Every early morning I enjoy my blooming garden,growing plants slowly on a daily basis.I also enjoy sunrise and sunset in my garden.I generally like to do my schoolwork in my evergreen garden.I play badminton with my father in the evening and enjoy the evening walk with my mom.Every day I watch new plants develop and water the plants.I also try planting new and decorative plants in my garden in order to make it more beautiful.
My parents always encourage me to continue all my hobbies.They become so happy when I take my problems in an easy way and try to solve them without getting angry and anxious.My mom says that gardening is a good hobby.From my childhood I work daily in my garden for one hour to keep it well maintained.

W:Hello everyone.I’m very glad to be here to talk to you.People need to feel secure and comfortable so they can be creative.Well-designed workplaces often create environments that make employees better thinkers.So today,I’ll talk about how to design workplaces that inspire creativity.I hope you can find it useful.First,the colour of the office walls.Decorate your office with green.Other bright colours such as light blue and yellow can also increase creativity.Calmer colours help us concentrate.Green also reminds us of nature,which may help us to relax.Avoid red when you are choosing a colour.While it can give us a feeling of energy,it also affects our ability to analyse information.Then,let’s turn to lighting.Lighting is also important.Too dark,workers can feel sleepy.While,if it is too bright,it can make them feel
　anxious.The best kind of lighting is natural light.It makes us happier and more productive.When it comes to artificial lighting,warm colours are the best.But if we need to concentrate,a bluer light is better.Space is another important matter.A company might want to develop a variety of spaces in an office so staff can find privacy if needed,but also work in open areas for creative thinking.
18.Which colour is unsuitable for office walls
A.Green.
B.Red.
C.Yellow.
答案B
19.What effect does natural light have on office workers
A.It is good for their eyes.
B.It helps them concentrate.

Emma Watson entered our lives as the perfect Hermione Granger in 2001,and nowadays,we’re just as much in love with this charming,intelligent British girl,as ever.You may or may not be a Potter head,but a lot of people are charmed by Emma Watson’s perfection.
Despite being a star performer at the young age of 11,she’s never gone the Hollywood-spoiled-child route.In fact,she made all attempts to stay as normal as possible.She said,“Ignoring fame was my rebellion,in a funny way.I was insistent on being normal and doing normal things.It probably wasn’t advisable to go to college in America and room with a complete stranger.And it probably wasn’t wise to share a bathroom with eight other people in a dormitory.Looking back,I think that was crazy.”
She added,“I was very well-educated.My dad paid for me to go to a very good school,so I worked hard every single day at that school to make him proud of me.And I did,and I still do.”
If we had to imagine what Hermione Granger would have grown up to be like,we would say she’d be the Emma Watson of the Potter universe because there really is no way to separate the two.In the last few years,Emma has added more feathers to her cap than we imagined being humanly possible,which include actor,scholar,model and UN Women Goodwill Ambassador.In her role as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador,she’d supported powerful causes to the best of her ability and brought them all the attention they deserve.
Emma Watson gave us the most accurate description of our favourite girl from the Potter universe.“Young girls are told you have to be a delicate princess.Hermione taught them that you can be a warrior.”
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,文章主要介绍了《哈利·波特》系列电影中女主角赫敏·格兰杰的饰演者艾玛·沃特森的故事。

Violette Childe,67,is a dining companion who helps serve patients lunches.The role was introduced ten years ago by a dietitian concerning that some patients were not eating their meals.
“Many of our patients are elderly and can be confused by the noisy,busy environment of the hospital and so won’t focus on eating,” explains Yvonne Donglas-Morris,head of volunteering,who oversees the activities of all 528 of the trusty volunteers.“Staff are busy with the clinical side of things,so the dining companions were introduced.They will assist the patients and encourage them to eat.”
Violette,a retired library manager,has been helping out for six years.“It makes me feel a bit more complete,” she says simply.“Helping with the meals frees up the nurses to get on with other things.I believe in being a part of the community and this hospital is part of my community.”
Another key role is played by the discharge volunteers,who offer support to the elderly,especially those aged 70 and over—leaving hospital to return to an empty home.The team has a budget of ￡10 per person and will pop to the shops and buy milk,bread and a meal to tide them over for the first few hours.They then call the patients regularly,for as long as they need,to check how they are getting on and if they need extra support.
The volunteers in Kingston work from a dedicated office—a small room in one of the buildings on the hospital grounds,where a Christmas tree decorated with baubles (小饰物) bearing the faces of volunteers sits in the corner.“All the volunteers come and gather here;it gets very busy at times,” smiles Nicola Hutin,67,a discharge support volunteer.A mother of two,and grandmother of four,she was a membership coordinator (协调员) for a trade association until she retired,and has since volunteered at the hospital one morning a week for 18 months.

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were two young men from Germany who loved a good story.As university students,they became interested in folktales—traditional stories that people memorized and told again and again.They began to collect traditional folktales from storytellers all over Germany.Many were similar to stories told in France,Italy,Japan,and other countries.Between 1812 and 1814,the brothers published two books in German.These included stories like “Hansel and Gretel” and “Little Red Riding Hood”.
Despite the fact that Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm are often associated with Snow White and Rapunzel,the brothers didn’t actually write any of those stories.In fact,the stories existed long before the two men were born in Germany in the mid-1780s.The fairy tales,in fact,were part of a rich oral tradition—passed down from generation to generation,often by women seeking to pass the time during household chores.In 1812,Jacob and Wilhelm published the stories as part of a collection titled Nursery and Household Tales,or what is now known as Grimm’s Fairy Tales.
The Grimm brothers’ tales were about traditional life and beliefs.For example,forests are common in Germany,and this image often appears in the Grimms’ stories.In the past,many people believed forests were dangerous places.In the Grimms’ stories,a forest is the home of evil witches,talking animals,and other magical beings.
Although most people today think of these stories as fairy tales for children,the brothers first wrote them for adults.Many of their early tales were dark and a little scary.Later,the brothers changed the text of some of the original stories.They “softened” many of the tales and added drawings.This made them more appropriate(合适的) for children.Like the early tales,though,each story still has a moral:work hard,be good,and listen to your parents.
Actually,university-trained philologists (语言学者) and librarians,Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published more than fairy tales.They wrote books about mythology,and published scholarly works on linguistics and medieval studies.

(2020山东卷)
Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking.　36　 Do you want to be a good public speaker Here are some principles you must master.
People want to listen to someone who is interesting,relaxed and comfortable.Too often,when you stand up to give a speech,you focus on the “public” at the expense of the “speaking.”　37　 Focus on the speaking.Talk directly to your audience,be yourself and make a connection.
Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes.Yet,the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking.People’s attention wanders constantly.In fact,most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker’s message.So,don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a truly serious one.　38　
Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker.　39　 And like everything else in life,that takes practice.Remember,even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.
　40　 It’s rare to hear someone say,“I wish that speaker had spoken longer.”On the other hand,you probably can’t count the times that you’ve thought,“I’m glad that talk is over.It seemed to go on forever!” So surprise your audience.Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated.It’s better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.
A.Do the opposite.
B.You want to be an effective public speaker.
C.You don’t need to apologize for a minor slip.
D.When it comes to public speaking,less is usually more.
E.The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience.
F.Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners.
G.However,the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be.
答案与解析
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述成为有影响力的演说家的几种技巧。
36.G　此句为过渡句,承上启下,根据上文提到有些人天生就有在公众面前讲话的能力,联系下文的“你想成为一名出色的演讲者吗 ”两句前后存在明显的转折关系。故选G项。
37.A　此句为过渡句,承上启下,根据上文提到“你站起来演讲时,聚焦于听众,而不是如何表达”以及后一句“要聚焦于自己的表达。”由此可判断,横线处为明确表态,与前面所述相反。故选A项。
38.C　此句为总结句。本段提到,即使最成功的演说家都会犯错,人们的注意力会不断转移。大多数人只能理解演说者20%的信息。所以即使出了错也不要停下来,“你没有必要为犯小错而道歉”。a minor slip与前面a mistake同义。故选C项。
39.B　此句为过渡句。前面提到你的目标不是成为一名完美的演说家,后面一句讲“同生活中的其他事情一样,那需要大量的训练。”由此可知,“你想要成为一名有影响力的演说家”为最佳答案。故选B项。
40.D　此处考查主题句。根据后面的内容可知,人们很少希望演讲的内容冗长,尤其是“Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated.”一句是很好的概括。故选D项。

“I’m hungry,”she explained 　45　.Caught red-handed,the woman no doubt expected to be treated as a 　46　.But the police had other 　47　.“We’ll pay for her food.”One of them told the 　48　 security guard.She would not be 　49　.

答案与解析
【语篇导读】这是一篇记叙文。主要记叙了一位画家画画栩栩如生,有一天他将画送给宰相时,这位睿智的老人告诉他去漓江旅行——也许他可以从世界上最伟大的艺术家那里学到一些东西。画家最后发现这位世界上最伟大的艺术家就是大自然母亲。
56.whose　考查定语从句引导词。此处为限制性定语从句修饰先行词artist,且定语从句中缺少定语,故用whose引导。
57.finest　考查最高级。结合空前出现的all great artists可知,这里表示“呈现出他们最好的作品”,故用形容词的最高级。
58.be chosen　考查被动语态。would后需跟动词原形,主语he与谓语动词choose之间是被动关系,故用be chosen。
59.curiosity　考查名词。with为介词,后面需要跟名词做宾语,filled with curiosity表示“充满好奇”。
60.When/As　考查状语从句。当他问漓江岸上的村民在哪里能找到这位传奇的艺术家时,他们微笑着指着河的下游。此处表示“当……的时候”,故用When/As。
61.pointed　考查时态。根据空前的动词smiled可知,此处也应用一般过去时,表示当时的动作。
62.to find　考查动词不定式。第二天早晨,他租了一条船,出发去寻找那位著名的画家。这里用to find表示目的。
63.gently　考查副词。分析句子结构可知,这里需要用副词gently来修饰动词moved。
64.surrounding　考查动词-ing形式。当他看到雾从漓江上升起,而山顶上乌云环绕,他不禁流下了眼泪。see sb./sth.doing sth.表示“看到某人/某物正在做某事”。
65.on　考查介词。on earth为固定搭配,意为“在世界上”。

Though it is one of the faded memories of my life today,there are times when I remember his face clearly,especially his eyes.As he had yellow spots on his eyes we called him Spotty.He would have been a stray (流浪) dog,until he came to me.
I was seven years old.My dad had just got a new job in Nasik.We had moved into a rented house.It was raining very heavily on the day we moved.
It was a cold dark night.We had our meal and went to sleep.Somehow at midnight I heard some strange sounds outside the main door.I gathered courage and looked out through the window and I was really amused with what I saw outside.
There was a small puppy lying on an old doormat which my mother had put outside the door.It was wet and trembling.At first it was difficult to see the little one.It was the yellow spots on its eyes that made me realise its presence.
It was trying to get under the doormat to avoid the cold air outside and it had managed to get in as I could see only its head outside the doormat.Was it sick or injured
I felt pity for the poor soul.I went in and came out with an old towel.I went near the innocent one and held it in my hand and wiped the puppy till he had become dry.I took him into my room and made a bed for him with a woolen blanket and a small pillow.He seemed very healthy and comfortable in his new bed as he went to sleep immediately.
The next morning,everyone in the family came to know about the unusual guest.“Shall we keep him with us ” I questioned my mom.
Like any other parents would,my parents first totally refused my idea but my sister and I convinced them to keep Spotty.
Slowly Spotty got on with everyone and became one of the family members.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
One day,Spotty returned from his daily walk with a broken leg.

One day,Spotty returned from his daily walk with a broken leg.He came to my room and sat near me.It was then that I saw his hind leg was injured and was bleeding.I called out my mother and she quickly tied a bandage around his leg and gave him food to eat.I was very upset.But the next day,Spotty was up to his usual pranks though he limped a bit.After this incident my relation with Spotty became more intense.I really admired him a lot for his courage.
Almost a year later,one midnight we heard Spotty barking breathlessly.We came out and saw that he was barking continuously heading somewhere.After some time Spotty became quiet.I patted him on his back and came inside.The next day morning,my heart skipped a beat when I didn’t see Spotty.I searched for him in each and every corner but he was nowhere.And this time he had gone and would never come back.I cried and waited for him.We waited for one long week.But there were no signs of him.Then one day my dad got transferred to Mumbai.We shifted back to Mumbai.What would have happened to Spotty Would he have died These were the only questions in my mind,but they all remained unanswered forever.Unit 4BODY LANGUAGE

Can the way you stand or sit affect your success
This is often discussed in business—“the importance of body language”,noted the US news website Business Insider.“It actually has an impact on not just the way others look at us,but also how we actually perform.”
That’s perhaps why Harvard Business School professor Amy Cuddy shot to instant fame (一举成名) after giving a TED talk on the subject in 2012.According to The New York Times,Cuddy’s speech is among the most viewed TED talks of all time.
Cuddy and her team study body language,particularly what they call “high-power” and “low-power” poses.Their research showed that standing or sitting in a certain way,even for just two minutes,changes one’s body chemistry and self-perception.
“I wanted to equip people with tools that would help them feel stronger,less fearful,and better able to bring their full,spirited selves to stressful situations like speaking in class,” Cuddy told CNN.
“High-power” refers to the act of taking a posture of confidence,even when you don’t feel very confident.Typical high-power poses are about opening up.You stretch (伸展) and expand your body to take up as much space as possible.For example,bosses are doing high-power poses when they lean (倚靠) back in their chairs,put their hands behind their heads,and kick their feet up onto their desks.Meanwhile,people take low-power positions when they’re feeling helpless or defeated.They close up,wrapping their arms around themselves and tucking their limbs in (缩起四肢).
“This isn’t about what your body language is communicating to others,it’s about what your body language is communicating to you.Your body language is changing your mind,which changes your behaviour,which changes your outcomes,”said Cuddy.
The best-known high-power pose is nicknamed the “Wonder Woman” pose.You just stand tall with your chest out and your hands on your hips (臀部).Why not give it a shot (尝试),and see whether you feel more confident than before
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述身体语言对个人事业成功的影响和展示个人自信的重要性。
1.Why did Professor Amy Cuddy want people to know her study on body language
　　　　　 　　　　　 　　　　
A.To help people to become more confident.
B.To make people fitter and stronger.
C.To teach people how to make a better speech.
D.To help distinguish between people of different social classes.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第五段中的“I wanted to equip people with tools that would help them feel stronger,less fearful,and better able to bring their full,spirited selves to stressful situations like speaking in class”可以得出答案。
2.Which of the following is probably a high-power pose according to the article
A.Folding your arms.
B.Looking down while in the presence of others.
C.Sitting with your arm spread out around the chair next to you.
D.Resting your chin on your hands as if wondering about something.
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Typical high-power poses are about opening up.You stretch and expand your body to take up as much space as possible.”以及后面举的例子可知,high-power poses一般是那些往外伸展的动作,所以C项为正确答案。
3.What’s the main purpose of this article
A.To explain what has made Amy Cuddy’s TED talk so popular.
B.To give practical tips on how to communicate with others.
C.To help the reader to tell the difference between a high-power pose and a low-power one.
D.To explain why Amy Cuddy considers body language important.
答案D
解析主旨大意题。该文主要是解释Amy Cuddy的关于身体语言重要性的研究。

A simple gesture can be formed into a child’s memory so quickly that it will cause the child to give a false answer to a question accompanied by that gesture.A new finding suggests that parents,social workers,psychologists and lawyers should be careful with their hands as well as their words.
Gestures can be as informative as speech,but hand gestures are so common that we rarely notice we’re using them.
While memories of both adults and children are easy to react to suggestion,those of children are known to be particularly influenced,said lead researcher Sara Broaders of Northwestern University.Kids are used to looking to adults to tell events for them and can be misled even if not intentionally(故意地).
Previous research,for example,has shown that detail-loaded questions often cause false answers;when asked,say “Did you drink juice at the picnic ” the child is likely to say “yes” even if no juice had been available.It is not that the child is consciously lying,but rather the detail is quickly formed into his or her memory.
To avoid this problem,social workers have long been advised to ask children only open-ended questions,such as “What did you have at the picnic ” But an open-ended question paired with a gesture,briefly meaning a juice box,is treated like a detailed question.That is,children become likely to answer falsely.
And it isn’t just a few kids:77% of children gave at least one piece of false information when a detail was suggested by an ordinary gesture.Gestures may also become more popular when talking with non-fluent language users,such as little kids,Broaders said as hand movements can impart meaning of unfamiliar words and phrases.“It certainly seems reasonable that adults would gesture more with children.”
In general,Broaders advises parents and other adults to “try to be aware of your hands when questioning a child about an event.Otherwise,you might be getting answers that don’t reflect what actually happened.”
【语篇解读】手势语在一定程度上会增加相互间的理解。然而,它也有消极作用,即误导对方,尤其是会误导孩子,本文就介绍了这一研究结果。
4.What do we know about gestures according to the text
A.They have not any function at all.
B.They are rarely used by people.
C.They have a certain effect on children.
D.They are often used by social workers.
答案C
解析细节理解题。文章第一段就指出手势语对孩子有影响,而全文都在说这一观点,故选C项。
5.Why are kids easy to be misled by gestures according to Sara Broaders
A.These gestures are very attractive.
B.Their memories are affected easily.
C.Children are easy to tell lies.
D.These gestures are used frequently.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第一段首句 “A simple gesture can be formed into a child’s memory so quickly that it will cause the child to give a false answer to a question accompanied by that gesture.”和第三段可知,主要原因是孩子的记忆很容易受到外界的影响,故选B项。
6.What does the underlined word “impart” in Paragraph 6 mean
A.Separate. B.Tell apart.
C.Confuse. D.Pass on.
答案D
解析词义猜测题。由语境可知,大人对孩子使用更多的手势语是有原因的,手势语能够传达那些不熟悉的单词和短语的含义,故选D项。
7.What would be the best title for the text
A.Gestures—a Useful Way of Education
B.Gestures Can Mislead Children
C.Gestures Mean Adults’ Directions
D.Gestures Affect Children Too Much
答案B
解析标题归纳题。短文主要介绍了一项研究结果:手势语会对孩子产生误导作用。D项表达内容太宽泛,故选B项。Section C　Using Language (Ⅰ)

答案与解析
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。短文主要介绍了故宫博物院在世界上成为游客接待数量最多的博物馆以及故宫博物院在吸引游客方面所做的努力。
1.known　考查形容词短语。句意:故宫博物院被称为紫禁城,12月13日迎来了第1 700万名游客,成为世界上接待游客最多的博物馆。be known as “作为……而出名”,本句为形容词短语作后置定语。故填 known。
2.its　考查代词。its为形容词性物主代词,后接名词visitor 作宾语。故填its。
3.reached　考查一般过去时。句意:自2009年达到1 000万人次的里程碑以来,游客数量持续增长。分析句子可知,since引导时间状语从句,主句用现在完成时,从句用一般过去时。故填 reached。
4.an　考查冠词。句意:游客数量比去年增加了6.25%。本句中increase为可数名词,且increase首字母发音为元音音素,所以用不定冠词an来修饰。故填an。
5.to protect　考查动词不定式。句意:尽管故宫博物院限制了每天的游客数量来保护古建筑,但今年淡季时游客的数量稳步增长。动词不定式to protect 作目的状语。故填to protect。
6.steadily　考查副词。steadily为副词修饰动词has grown。故填steadily。
7.ranging　考查现在分词。句意:在过去的十年里,故宫博物院已经生产了10 000多件文化物品,从笔记本到口红。items与range在逻辑上是主动关系,所以用现在分词ranging。
8.which　考查定语从句。句意:故宫博物院官方微博账号拥有600多万粉丝,通过定期张贴精美照片,不断展现故宫四季的魅力,在与年轻人的互动和故宫博物院的推广中发挥着重要作用。分析句子可知,The official Weibo account of the Palace Museum为先行词,在后面的非限制性定语从句中作主语,所以关系代词用which。故填which。
9.photos　考查名词复数。photo为可数名词,这里指多张照片,所以用photo的复数photos。故填photos。
10.and　考查并列连词。句意:故宫博物院之所以在年轻人中如此受欢迎,根本原因在于它在保存历史和提供许多有趣的互动展览之间取得了恰当的平衡。between...and...“在……和……之间”。故填 and。
Ⅵ.概要写作
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Have you heard of an old saying “The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence” It means other places often look better,more interesting than the place where you live.“Let’s go to KFC for dinner and then watch some Japanese cartoons!” We all know it:More and more Chinese kids love American and Japanese food and movies.Some people worry that young Chinese are beginning to feel that way.They see young Chinese ignoring(忽视)Chinese culture and,instead,buying Japanese cartoon books,watching Republic of Korea’s soap operas and even celebrating Western holidays.
Foreign books and soap operas are good,but Chinese writers and actors are just as good.As for holidays,Christmas is nice,but it can never have the meaning for Chinese that the Spring Festival has,and the West has nothing to compare with the Mid-Autumn Festival.China has lots of cool things in its culture:calligraphy,Beijing Opera,quick meals on the streets,and even Jay Chou!And let’s not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best:its friendliness.Not all countries are as warm as China.
It’s good to enjoy other cultures and learn from them,but they can never replace your own culture.It’s good to look on the other side of the fence,but make sure you take a good long look.You will find that the grass isn’t always greener.
Although some people become worried about that,I don’t think they should.Will we get more powerful without learning from other countries Will Chinese people live more happily without American fast food Besides,it’s fun to learn about different cultures.Chinese kids can learn about other cultures and have fun,but they also need to learn more about their own culture.Be proud of Chinese culture and of being Chinese!

主题语境:人与社会　人际沟通
There is one language that is used in every country in the world.The people who use it are young and old,short and tall,thin and fat.It is everybody’s second language.It is easy to understand,although you can’t hear it.It is sign language.
When you wave to a friend who is across the street,you are using sign language.When you smile at someone,you are saying,“I want to be friendly”,but you are not using speech.You are using sign language.When you raise your hand in class,you are saying,“Please ask me.I think I know the correct answer.”
Babies who can’t talk can point at things.They are using sign language.A policeman who wants to stop traffic holds up his hands.He is using sign language.
Many years ago,a French priest,Charles Michel de Epee,became interested in education for deaf people.He invented a finger alphabet (字母表).It is still in use.People can make the sign for letters and spell words with their hands,and deaf people can read and understand them.Soon there were schools for the deaf in many countries.The only university for the deaf is Gallaudet College in Washington,D.C.
Today,in the United States,there are special TV news programs for deaf people.The newsreader tells the news in sign language.At the same time,the words appear on the TV screen.
The actors in the Theatre of Deaf don’t spell every word.Sometimes they use hand signs.When they put two hands together,it means sandwich.They can make a roof with them when they want to show a house.One finger in front of an actor’s mouth can mean quiet.You can talk to people who are behind windows that are closed.And when you go swimming with your friends,you can have conversations under water.
How many hand signs do you use every day

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last summer when my family was road tripping to Montana we arrived in Great Falls late one night.The kids had fallen asleep in the car,so my husband went and checked in while I stayed with the kids.When he returned with the room keys,we woke up our children and took them out of the car,through the hotel,up the elevators and into our guest room.We kept the room dark,leaving only the entry light on,and quickly put the kids into bed hoping they’d drift back to sleep.
My husband went to put our water in the mini-fridge only to notice some beers.“That’s strange,”he said and I agreed,but having discovered left-behind drinks in hotel fridges in the past I didn’t think much about it.I figured the housekeepers had forgotten to check it.In the meantime,my husband ran to the store and I went into the bathroom to get ready for bed.As I washed my face,I looked down to see cardboard beer containers in the trash.I felt my heart begin to pound.We were in someone else’s room!
Now feeling panic,I checked the closet.Nothing.I then went to the dresser drawers.Nothing.My eyes scanned the door room’s floor and there it was:A black bag that looked like one of ours.But it wasn’t!
I immediately called the front desk and the waitress in charge responded with an“Oh,my God!This is not good!”
By now the kids were wide awake,jumping on the beds as I was trying to put all of our things back into our oversized suitcase.Just while we were packing our things,I heard someone was unlocking the door,which made my heart beat wildly.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
The door opened and in came a young man.







I didn’t know how to deal with the matter but luckily the waitress arrived out of breath.

The door opened and in came a young man.Seeing us packing our things into our suitcase,he was shocked and angry.I tried to explain what had happened.However,he wouldn’t listen to me.He talked with me in a loud voice,making my kids frightened.The kids began to cry.Just at that time my husband returned,with some things bought from the store in his hands.Thinking the young man was unfriendly,he started to quarrel with him.
I didn’t know how to deal with the matter but luckily the waitress arrived out of breath.Watching the waitress,all of us stopped talking.She explained that her mother became badly ill last night,which contributed to her fault.After explaining the reason to us,the waitress burst into tears.The young man,my husband and I,even my kids,tried to comfort the waitress.We said sorry to each other.The special experience in someone else’s room made me realise forgiveness is a kind of virtue.Unit 3FASCINATING PARKS

Every year,millions of people head to London’s Trafalgar Square to see Nelson’s Column,and the four lion statues that “guard” it.And last month,during the London Design Festival,a bright red lion sculpture was added to the collection.
But this was more than just a statue:It had a large open mouth,with an LED screen inside it.At the same time,passers-by could type in random words on a screen close to the lion,which were used to produce an AI-created poem.The most interesting part of the poems lies in their randomness,as the words that people choose to enter include many things,such as the time,the weather and their mood.In the daytime,the finished poem appeared on the LED screen,but at night,it was projected (投射) onto the lion’s body and the famous Nelson’s Column,in a lovely light display.
Es Devlin,the sculpture’s creator,was inspired by the history behind the four historic lion statues.Edwin Landseer,the designer of the lions,wanted them to look much more animated,but Queen Vietoria refused his plan.This made Devlin wonder,“What if we could give a lion a poetic voice ” According to Devlin,although England has seen many poems about national identity in recent years,these works have been lacking imagination.“I wanted to make a piece that was poetic and collective,”he told BBC News.
After standing for almost 180 years,the purpose of Trafalgar Square has changed over the years.But thanks to the high-tech lion and its poetry,the square is standing the test of time.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了伦敦特拉法加广场上个月引入了一个红狮雕像,它可以利用人工智能作诗。
4.Why was the red lion more than just a statue
A.It had an LED screen inside it.
B.It had a larger mouth than the others.
C.It could produce an AI-created poem.
D.Poems were projected onto the lion’s body.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第二段中的“At the same time,passers-by could type in random words on a screen close to the lion,which were used to produce an AI-created poem.”可知,路人可以在靠近狮子的屏幕上随意输入单词,人工智能就会创作出一首诗,故C项正确。
5.Which of the following best explains “randomness” underlined in Paragraph 2
A.Lacking styles.
B.Not having regular patterns.
C.Being special.
D.Attraction to readers.
答案B
解析词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“as the words that people choose to enter include many things,such as the time,the weather and their mood.”可知,诗中最有趣的部分在于其随机性,因为人们输入的单词范围很广,包括时间、天气和心情等,由此可知画线词词义为“随机”,故B项正确。
6.What does Devlin think of poems about national identity in England in recent years
A.They are creative.
B.They are not popular.
C.They are not imaginative.
D.They are poetic and collective.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第三段中的“According to Devlin,although England has seen many poems about national identity in recent years,these works have been lacking imagination.”可知,Devlin认为这些诗都缺乏想象力,故C项正确。
7.What can be a suitable title for the text
A.Es Devlin’s New Creation.
B.The London Design Festival.
C.A Big Event in Trafalgar Square.
D.The red lion in Trafalgar Square.
答案D
解析主旨大意题。通读全文,特别是根据第一段中的“And last month,during the London Design Festival,a bright red lion sculpture was added to the collection.”可知,本文介绍了伦敦特拉法加广场上个月引入了一个红狮雕像,故D项正确。Section B　Learning about Language

主题语境:人与社会　科学与技术
If you could travel in time,where would you go Perhaps you would watch an original performance of a Shakespeare’s play in Elizabethan England What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period Or maybe you’d voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.
The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing.Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years.Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine,which was written by H.G.Wells and published in 1895 for the first time.It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name,as well as two television versions,and a large number of comic book adaptations.It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively.The term “time machine”,coined by Wells,is now universally used to refer to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.
But could time travel actually be possible Some scientists say yes,in theory.They propose using cracks in time and space called “wormholes”,which could be used as shortcuts to other periods.Einstein’s theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances.And British physicist Stephen Hawking said you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship—going at nearly the speed of light.Though building such a spaceship would of course be no simple task.
Even if you could travel into the past,there is something called the “grandfather paradox”.It asks what would happen if a time traveller were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason,and therefore prevent himself from being born.If the time traveller wasn’t born,how would he travel back in time
And would you really like to visit the future In H.G.Wells’ book,the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs.He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles(触角).If that’s what’s in store,maybe we are better just living in the present day after all.
【语篇解读】时光穿梭可能实现吗 有些科学家认为理论上是可能的。
1.The novel The Time Machine mentioned in Paragraph 2 aims to show 　　　.
A.people’s interest in time travel
B.the special features of the book
C.the long history of time travel
D.the contribution of H.G.Wells
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing”可知,时光穿梭的可能性的确是很吸引人,所以选A项。
2.Einstein’s and Hawking’s theories 　　　.
A.have similarities in many ways
B.push the invention of the first spaceship
C.have proved wrong by some time travellers
D.suggest the possibility to invent the time machine
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第三段提到的“Einstein’s theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances.And British physicist Stephen Hawking said you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship—going at nearly the speed of light”可知,爱因斯坦的相对论允许在极端的环境下时光穿梭;英国物理学家斯蒂芬·霍金说你可以用快速的宇宙飞船到未来旅行。由此可知,两个人的理论证明了时间旅行的可能性,所以选D项。
3.In Paragraph 4,“grandfather paradox” probably refers to the idea that 　　　.
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
A.the traveller is prevented from meeting his grandfather
B.the traveller goes back in time to seek for his grandfather
C.the grandfather’s death makes the traveller’s birth impossible
D.The reunion of the traveller and his grandfather brings happiness
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据第四段提到的“It asks what would happen if a time traveller were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason,and therefore prevent himself from being born”可知,如果时光穿梭者回到过去,他的祖父因为某种原因而被杀死,那么时光旅行者就无法出生。如果时光旅行者没有出生,他怎么回到过去 所以选C项。
4.What is probably the author’s attitude towards time travel
A.Unclear. B.Skeptical.
C.Supportive. D.Unconcerned.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“If that’s what’s in store,maybe we are better just living in the present day after all”可知,如果这样的事情发生,我们还是最好活在现在,所以作者对时光穿梭持怀疑的态度,所以选B项。

Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile (汽车).But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896.That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world’s first automobile.Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car’s parts to the worker,instead of making the worker move to the parts.That is not true,either.Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford.What Henry Ford did was to use other people’s ideas and make them better.And he made the whole factory a moving production line.
In the early days of the automobile,almost every car maker raced his cars.It was the best way of gaining public notice.Henry Ford decided to build a racing car.Ford’s most famous race was his first one.It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.
The race was in 1901,at a field near Detroit.All of the most famous cars had entered,but only two were left:the Winton’s and Ford’s.The Winton was famous for its speed.Most people thought the race was over before it began.
The Winton took an early lead.But halfway through the race,it began to lose power.Ford started to gain.And near the end of the race,he took the lead.Ford won the race and defeated the Winton.His name appeared in newspapers and he became well-known all over the United States.Within weeks of the race,Henry Ford formed a new automobile company.In 1903,a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company.That sale was the beginning of Henry Ford’s dream.Ford said,“I will build a motor car for the great mass of people.It will be large enough for the family,but small enough for one person to operate and care for.It will be built of the best materials.It will be built by the best men to be employed.And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce.It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one.”
The Model T was a car of that kind.It only cost $850.It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on.Doctors bought the Model T.So did farmers.Even criminals.They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation.Americans loved the Model T.They wrote stories and songs about it.Thousands of Model T’s were built in the first few years.

主题语境:人与社会　对社会有突出贡献的人物
Four Secrets to Steve Jobs’ Success
How is it that a college dropout,who was once kicked out of his own company,became one of the world’s foremost innovators
Carmine Gallo lists the four ways Jobs managed to succeed in the face of discouraging circumstances.　1　
Do what you love,no matter what it happens to be.
This is what Jobs told Stanford University graduates in a speech in 2005.Gallo says the famous talk show host Rachael Ray agrees with this advice.Rachael Ray does what she loves.　2　 She did that because she loved cooking.
Say no to 1,000 things.
Simplifying his business was the key to Jobs’ success,Gallo says.In 1997,when Jobs returned to Apple,Apple was close to bankruptcy(破产).He took 300 products and condensed them to 10 within a two-year period.
　3　 In his latter years,he decided he would wear the same dress every day so that he didn’t have to think about it.
Kick-start(启动)your brain by doing something new.
Doing new things helped Jobs,in the words of Apple’s own slogan,“Think differently.”
The inspiration for the Apple Store came from the Four Seasons Hotel.That’s why when you walk into an Apple Store,you will not find a cashier.　4　 Walk to the back of the store and there’s a bar.It doesn’t serve alcohol,but it collects advice.
　5　
“For Jobs,it wasn’t just about selling 29 million iPads this summer but entertaining the customers at the same time,” Gallo says.“Whether you run a multi-billion dollar tech company or a pizza restaurant,innovation means creating a new experience for your customers,” Jobs says.
A.Do what you are curious about.
B.Create fresh experiences.
C.Instead,you’ll find a doorkeeper.
D.Carmine Gallo says that you can do the same.
E.She was giving cooking lessons at Macy’s for free.
F.Simplicity also extends to Jobs’ personal life.
G.Jobs explained that iPad was not just a phone but a lifestyle.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文属于说明文,介绍Carmine Gallo列举了乔布斯面对困境,却依然成功的四个秘诀。
1.D　上一句“Carmine Gallo列举了乔布斯面对困境,却依然成功的四个秘诀”。D选项,“你也可以从这四方面做到”切题,该选项中的“the same”与上文“four ways”对应。
2.E　本段的小标题就是建议人们做自己喜欢的事情,Rachael Ray喜欢做饭,因此她免费教人们做饭。
3.F　根据后一句“在乔布斯后来的日子,为了不必考虑穿什么,他每天只穿同一款式的衣服”可以得出本段的大概意思,乔布斯生活得简单。
4.C　上一句“这就是为什么当你走进苹果商店时,你遇见的不是收银员”,C项“相反,你会遇见迎宾员”与上一句形成对比关系,说明苹果商店的不一样,故选C项。
5.B　本段主要阐述乔布斯的观点,无论是经营一家数十亿美元的科技公司,还是经营一家比萨店,都应该创新,给顾客提供新的体验。第二单元测评

What would you do if you could see into the future And more importantly,what would you do if you weren’t happy with what you saw These are the questions explored in Disney’s movie,Tomorrowland.
Tomorrowland tells the story of a wide-eyed dreamer named Casey as she follows her curiosity down a path of adventure and danger.When a strange sign shows an alternate(交替的) reality,Casey begins a magical journey into another world.As she struggles to make sense of this new world,Casey meets a scientist named Frank.Together they carry out a task to uncover the mysteries of a land that exists between time and space:Tomorrowland.
According to Britt Robertson,the entire movie has been filled with secrecy.In fact,she had to audition(试镜) many times for the part of Casey before she was even allowed to read the script(剧本).Robertson says that being a part of Tomorrowland has given her a more positive outlook on the future.“I always think about going green and trying to help the world with things I can do,” she told TFK.“I think the greatest things we can do to help are simple things.The small stuff counts.”
Robertson auditioned for it for a very long time before she even read the script.Once she read the script,she just loved how full the story was.She was satisfied with it.She felt happy,like she had just been on an adventurous ride.She was also sad,joyful,and hopeful.She felt a mix of emotions after reading the script and it really got her thinking and it made her want to be a more positive person.She was very happy when she found out she got the role.It felt like all her hard work paid off.
【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了迪士尼影片《明日世界》,影片中的大眼睛姑娘给观众留下了深刻的印象,她就是凯西的扮演者布丽特妮·罗伯森。

Attitudes toward new technologies often fall along generational lines.That is,generally,younger people tend to outnumber older people on the front end of a technological shift.
It is not always the case,though.When you look at attitudes toward driverless cars,there doesn’t seem to be a clear generational divide.The public overall is split on whether they’d like to use a driverless car.In a study last year,of all people surveyed,48 percent said they wanted to ride in one,while 50 percent did not.
The fact that attitudes toward self-driving cars appear to be so steady across generations suggests how varying the shift to driverless cars could be.Not everyone wants a driverless car now—and no one can get one yet—but among those who are open to them,every age group is similarly involved.
Actually,this isn’t surprising.Whereas older generations are sometimes reluctant to adopt new technologies,driverless cars promise real value to these age groups in particular.Older adults,especially those with limited moving or difficulty driving on their own,are one of the classic use-cases for driverless cars.
This is especially interesting when you consider that younger people are generally more interested in travel-related technologies than older ones.
When it comes to driverless cars,differences in attitude are easily noticeable based on factors not related to age.College graduates,for example,are particularly interested in driverless cars compared with those who have less education.59 percent of college graduates said they would like to use a driverless car compared with 38 percent of those with a high-school diploma or less.
Where a person lives matters,too.More people who live in cities and suburbs said they wanted to try driverless cars than those who lived in rural areas.
While there’s reason to believe that interest in self-driving cars is going up across the board,a person’s age will have little to do with how self-driving cars can become mainstream.Once driverless cars are actually available for sale,the early adopters will be the people who can afford to buy them.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项新科技——无人驾驶汽车。这项科技受到各个年龄段的人的欢迎。

Studies have shown most people fail to realise how much time they spend on their smartphones each day.
Frank and Amelia’s family were put to a test,using a free app called “Moment-screen Time Tracker”.The Vascellaros—Frank,Amelia,14-year-old twins Frankie and Joe,and 17-year-old Sam—all said they did not really know they were spending so much time on their phones each day.
“Honestly,I don’t feel like I’m on my phone a lot,” Amelia Vascellaro said.Amelia was on her phone far less often than Frank,according to the app.While Amelia spent about an hour per day on the phone,Frank spent close to four hours on his phone—which came as a shock to him.The children’s times varied but they often spent more than a couple of hours on the phone as well.
Minneapolis-based Dr Kirsten Lind Seal sees phone usage come up a lot among families.Lind Seal said many family members’ phone use has become problematic.
“If we hear more than once,‘Do you have to be on your phone right now Can you please put your phone down Did you hear what I said ’ it may be a sign that it is negatively influencing our family relationships and our daily lives,” she said.
Lind Seal said actually paying attention to how much time one spends on the phone is a good first step in deciding when to put it down.
She asks parents to encourage more face-to-face communication for teens and young adults as they continue developing their social and emotional skills.“What we find is that we are really losing out on empathy—the ability to understand other people’s feelings and problems——when we spend a lot of time on our smartphones to communicate with other people,”she said.
【语篇解读】本文是议论文。通过使用一款应用软件跟踪发现,很多人没有意识到自己每天花费很多时间使用手机。文章建议人们放下手机,应该进行更多的面对面的交流。
32.How did the families tested by the app feel about the test results
A.Satisfied. B.Doubtful.
C.Uninterested. D.Astonished.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第二段中“all said they did not really know they were spending so much time on their phones each day.”可知,Vascellaro一家对这个测试结果感到惊讶,他们没有想到自己每天花费那么多的时间使用手机。
33.Why did Lind Seal mention the three questions in Para 5
A.To encourage people to live a simple life.
B.To explain the signs of problematic phone use.
C.To show the importance of close relationships.
D.To ask people if they use phones too much.
答案B
解析推理判断题。由第四段中“Lind Seal said many family members’ phone use has become problematic.”可知,Lind Seal提出这三个问题是为了说明我们过多使用手机。
34.What did Lind Seal want to convey in the last paragraph
A.We should make more face-to-face communication.
B.We can understand each other better using smartphones.
C.Our ability of empathy is strengthened by smartphones.
D.Smartphone usage improves the teens’ emotional skills.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据最后一段中“She asks parents to encourage more face-to-face communication for teens and young adults as they continue developing their social and emotional skills.”和引述的话可知,我们应该多进行面对面的交流。
35.Where is this text most likely from
A.A diary.　　　　　　B.A guidebook.
C.A novel. D.A magazine.
答案D
解析推理判断题。通读全文,本文从一项研究入手,讲述人们对手机的依赖,最后建议人们应该进行更多的面对面的交流,故此篇文章最有可能来自杂志。

Futurologists are making a lot of predictions about our future life.　36　By 2050,some futurologists foresee that some “talking” buildings will appear in our life.
By the middle of the century,it’s believed that buildings will be able to “talk” to people through various sensors when the heating needs to be turned on.　37　Instead,a lot of networks will appear,which can be compared to a human nervous system.In the next 30 years,buildings will be made from concrete plastics and shape-changing materials.All of them can heal themselves at that time.　38　there will be a need for new kinds of elevators,through which vehicles could even travel into the buildings.German engineers have already started working on such technology called Multi.
By mid-century,scientists believe that buildings will be miles tall.Some of them may be very large and they can function as small cities.By comparison,at present,the world’s tallest building,the Burj Khalifa in Dubai,measures 829.8 metres high.　39　their windows will be replaced by virtual screens.In this way,people can choose any view as they like.
At height extremes,a London Spaceport is also likely to come into being by 2050 as the space industry develops very quickly.There is a huge cost advantage going to space from as high a base as possible.　40　
A.As cities are being very crowded,
B.As a result,there will be no switches.
C.As the future building can rise through the clouds,
D.As architects are racing to develop the world’s tallest buildings,
E.They are predicting how we will travel,work and live in the next 30 years.
F.Therefore,a spaceport is very likely to be over 10km,using carbon-based materials.
G.What is more likely,though,is that planes will become smarter and may even become autonomous.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】未来学家们正在对我们的未来生活做很多预测,他们预测未来30年我们将如何旅行、工作和生活。
36.E　根据上文提到的“未来学家们正在对我们的未来生活做很多预测”可知,E项“他们预测未来30年我们将如何旅行、工作和生活”可承接上文。
37.B　根据上文的“will be able to ‘talk’ to people...when the heating needs to be turned on”可知,B项是上文的结果。
38.D　根据下文的“there will be a need for new kinds of elevators...”可知,D项可作为过渡,引出下文。
39.C　根据下文的“their windows”可知,上文应该提到高楼,所以选C项。D项虽提到“the world’s tallest buildings”,但是和下文无法衔接。
40.F　本段提到“a London Spaceport”,F项和上文构成因果关系,而且spaceport为同词复现。

Another one is that a lady needed me to　43　 her and asked me to pray for her husband.I hugged her and said of course I would.I always love hearing their 　44　 if they want to 　45　.So,so much love in just dissolving any barrier between “you” and “me” and seeing all of us as family.
Afterwards I went to a cafe to do some paper work and had a sandwich　46　 heading off to one of my friends’ party.I noticed there was an elderly lady who was looking for a(n) 　47　 table.Since there were no empty tables,I pushed my papers aside and 　48　 to her.She understood,and then came to sit across from me.That then led me to get to listen to her 　49　 World War Two survivor’s life story( She is 84 years old !).It was such a gift to share lunch with her!　50　 I had to leave after a while,but it was so lovely to have lunch with a 　51　 and feel connected to her.As she said,“The only things that 　52　 in life are health,family and 　53　”.
As I was　54　 to a friend’s party,I couldn’t help but reflect on the beauty of the day in all of the interactions I had,and then I was just shocked by this full rainbow that I could see right next to my car...like the universe saying “Yeah,you got it!” I will smile to myself for the rest of my life.So much 　55　 in each day.

Professor Wass and his team found inspiration in the processes of the human body.As Professor Wass explains,“If you cut 61.　　　　　 (you) finger,there are mechanisms (结构) that repair that damage.Can we put the self-healing (自愈) functions that we have in an airplane wing If you do that,you’re not going to repair a huge hole in the airplane wing.What we should be able 62. (repair) are the tiny cracks that lead 63. the problems later on.”

Dear Steven,
I’m glad that you’re interested in what is happening in China.

参考范文
Dear Steven,
I’m glad that you’re interested in what is happening in China.I’m writing to tell you something about the rubbish classification in my community.
Rubbish classification not only reduces unnecessary environmental pollution,but also promotes the construction of an environmentally friendly community.But things in my community are not optimistic.Many people throw waste without classifying them properly,which results in great pollution and adds to the burden of workers.I think the government should make the importance of waste classification known to the public and make laws to ban littering,while for individual,we should strengthen our awareness of environmental protection.
What about the rubbish sorting in your country I’m looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One weekend in July,Jane and her husband,Tom,had driven three hours to camp overnight by a lake in the forest.Unfortunately,on the way an unpleasant subject came up and they started to quarrel.By the time they reached the lake,Jane was so angry that she said to Tom,“I’m going to find a better spot for us to camp” and walked away.
With no path to follow,Jane just walked on for quite a long time.After she had climbed to a high place,she turned around,hoping to see the lake.To her surprise,she saw nothing but forest and,far beyond,a snowcapped mountain top.She suddenly realised that she was lost.
“Tom!”she cried.“Help!”
No reply.If only she had not left her mobile phone in that bag with Tom.Jane kept moving,but the farther she walked,the more confused she became.As night was beginning to fall,Jane was so tired that she had to stop for the night.Lying awake in the dark,Jane wanted very much to be with Tom and her family.She wanted to hold him and tell him how much she loved him.
Jane rose at the break of day,hungry and thirsty.She could hear water trickling (滴落) somewhere at a distance.Quickly she followed the sound to a stream.To her great joy,she also saw some berry bushes.She drank and ate a few berries.Never in her life had she tasted anything better.Feeling stronger now,Jane began to walk along the stream and hoped it would lead her to the lake.
As she picked her way carefully along the stream,Jane heard a helicopter.Is that for me Unfortunately,the trees made it impossible for people to see her from above.A few minutes later,another helicopter flew overhead.Jane took off her yellow blouse,thinking that she should go to an open area and flag them if they came back again.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
But no more helicopters came and it was getting dark again.




It was daybreak when Jane woke up.




参考范文
But no more helicopters came and it was getting dark again.Jane had to stay alone in the forest for another cold night.At that moment,she felt a little sad,but she wasn’t so frightened.She reminded herself constantly,“Tom must have called for those helicopters.Maybe he was in one of them and will return soon!I have to guide him tomorrow.”She fell asleep and dreamed of seeing Tom.
It was daybreak when Jane woke up. She ate some berries and then walked along the stream,hoping to find a suitable place to guide the helicopter.She walked and walked,exhausted but full of hope.Suddenly,she spotted a huge flat rock.She managed to climb onto it and waited with patience.The helicopter appeared again.The nearer it got,the more she waved the yellow blouse.To her great joy,the helicopter didn’t miss Jane this time and it landed near the big rock slowly.Tom jumped off the helicopter and rushed towards Jane.They hugged each other tightly and burst into tears.Section B　Learning about Language

Have you ever wondered what you can do visiting Disney in Florida There are two activity possibilities associated with Disney in Florida.　1　,and the other is Disney Cruise Line,docked in Cape Canaveral on the Atlantic Coast.This article provides some ideas to help you out.
Choose when you want to go.Disney recommends going during the spring and fall.The best times to go to Walt Disney World are:
Mid-November through mid-December (except the week of Thanksgiving).The weather is usually cool but pleasant,the Christmas decorations are up,special events are running,and the attendance is usually moderate.Expect crowds on Saturdays,especially at the Magic Kingdom.　2　,but this doesn’t necessarily translate into huge crowds during early December.
Second week of January through mid-February.It’s cool at this time of year.　3　.However,some rides will be closed at this time of year.The first week of January can be busy due to extended holiday vacations and the Walt Disney World Marathon.Avoid any holiday weekends.
First three weeks of May.　4　.Crowds and hotel prices are suitable.Memorial Day weekend will be more crowded,but often not as bad as you might expect.
　5　.It will be extremely hot,and this is peak hurricane season.Plan on taking afternoons off and visiting water parks.Crowds are low.Off-site hotels usually have their rock-bottom deals during this period,and Disney has offered “free dining” packages in this time frame each year since 2005.
A.One is Walt Disney World in Orlando
B.So many tourists go there to enjoy themselves
C.The weather is warm in May
D.Disney’s resorts typically fill up early for all of December
E.Make a decision on what you want when visiting Florida Disney
F.This is one of the least busy times of year and hotel prices are lower
G.Late August and entire month of September (even Labour Day weekend)
答案与解析
【语篇解读】你是否想知道你在佛罗里达迪士尼乐园能做什么吗 你知道什么时间去参观最合适吗 本文给出了一些建议。
1.A　根据下文的“and the other is Disney Cruise Line,...”可知,A项可以和下文构成one...,the other...结构。
2.D　根据下文的“but this doesn’t necessarily translate into huge crowds during early December.”可知,D项中的December和下文构成同词复现,而且语意一致。
3.F　根据下文的“However,some rides will be closed at this time of year.”可知,这个时间去参观的人要少,因为一些骑乘项目关闭了,所以选F项。
4.C　根据前面的“First three weeks of May.”可知,下文提到的应该是这个时节的天气,所以选C项,与上文的“It’s cool at this time of year.”相呼应。
5.G　根据下文的“It will be extremely hot,and this is peak hurricane season.”可知,上文应该提到的是最热的季节,选项G符合语境。Unit 2LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE

Can you imagine a cloud floating in the middle of your room Do you want to know what it feels like to fly like a bird Find your answers in Time Magazine’s 25 “Best Inventions”.Here,we have picked out the most interesting 4 to share with you.
Talking Gloves
Ever felt confused by the sign language used by disabled people Here is the “helping hand” you need.Four Ukrainian students have created a pair of gloves that helps people with hearing and speech problems communicate with others.The gloves are equipped with sensors that recognise sign language and translate it into a text on a smartphone.Then the smartphone changes the text to spoken words.
Google Glasses
Google Glasses are like a computer built into the frame of a pair of glasses.With its 1.3-centimetre display,the glasses allow you to surf the Internet and make calls without even lifting a finger.The glasses also have a camera and GPS mapping system.Users can take and share photos,check maps and surf the Internet just by looking up,down,left and right.
Indoor Clouds
It’s not virtual.That’s a real world.Dutch artist Smilde managed to create a small but perfect white cloud in the middle of a room using a fog machine.But it required careful planning—the temperature,humidity(湿度)and lighting all had to be just right.Once everything was ready,the cloud formed in the air with the machine.But it only lasted for a short while.
Wingsuits
The suit fulfills your dreams of flying like a bird.Well,not exactly flying,but gliding(滑翔)through the air.It increases the surface area of the human body,which makes it easier for people to float in the air.Fliers wearing wingsuits can glide one kilometre in about 30 seconds.

A new Magic Bench designed by Disney Research lets you interact (互动) with lovely animated (动画的) character—and no special glasses or earphones are required.Instead,the complete environment—the seat,the sitter and the cartoon characters—is mirrored on a screen opposite the bench making it possible for others to watch the scene unfold.
How does the illusion work A camera and sensor catch images and gather depth information about physical objects—the bench and the person.And then a computer translates them into the 3D animations.Meanwhile sensors of touch built into the bench deliver shaking that is happening at the same time and speed to animated actions on the screen,creating the illusion that the animated figures are occupying real-world space next to the user.
“Our goal for this project was:hear characters coming,see them enter the space,and feel them sit next to you,” said Moshe Mahler,principal digital artist at Disney Research.Unlike the traditional mobile technology,one of whose limitations is that only a single user can see its illusion,the Magic Bench allows groups of people to gather in a single environment and collectively participate in an augmented-reality (扩充实境) experience,all at the same time.
In a video show,a small cartoon donkey runs into view and kicks the bench,causing sharp sound and making the seated person jump in surprise.Another test shows two people on the bench,reacting as they “feel” an animated rabbit skip up beside them and jump up and down.When a user passes his hand over the rabbit,a shadow moves across its head,as though it were occupying the same physical space as the person next to it.
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。迪斯尼公司设计出了一种新的“魔法椅”。坐上这种椅子不需要使用特殊眼镜或耳机,在观看影视作品时,画面可以与人互动。
5.What does the Magic Bench need to work properly
A.Special glasses. B.Earphones.
C.A mirror. D.A screen.
答案D

主题语境:人与社会　对社会有突出贡献的人物
Would you BET on the future of this man He is 53 years old.Most of his adult life has been a losing struggle against debt and misfortune.A war injury has made his left hand stop functioning,and he has often been in prison.Driven by heaven-knows-what motives,he determines to write a book.
The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world for more than 350 years.That former prisoner was Cervantes,and the book was Don Quixote(《堂吉诃德》).And the story poses an interesting question:Why do some people discover new vitality and creativity to the end of their days,while others go to seed long before
We’ve all known people who run out of steam before they reach life’s halfway mark.I’m not talking about those who fail to get to the top.We can’t all get there.I’m talking about people who have stopped learning on growing because they have adopted the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing years.
Most of us,in fact,progressively narrow the variety of our lives.We succeed in our field of specialization and then become trapped in it.Nothing surprises us.We lose our sense of wonder.But,if we are willing to learn,the opportunities are everywhere.
The things we learn in maturity seldom involve information and skills.We learn to bear with the things we can’t change.We learn to avoid self-pity.We learn that however much we try to please,some people are never going to love us—an idea that troubles at first but is eventually relaxing.
With high motivation and enthusiasm,we can keep on learning.Then we will know how important it is to have meaning in our life.However,we can achieve meaning only if we have made a commitment to something larger than our own little egos(自我),whether to loved ones,to fellow humans,to work,or to some moral concept.
Many of us equate(视……等同于)“commitment” with such “caring” occupations as teaching and nursing.But doing any ordinary job as well as one can is in itself an admirable commitment.People who work toward such excellence—whether they are driving a truck,or running a store—make the world better just by being the kind of people they are.They’ve learned life’s most valuable lesson.

主题语境:人与社会　科学与技术
Researchers at the University of Chicago have trained an artificial intelligence system to write fake(虚假的)reviews on Yelp,a website showing customers reviews on shopping or something else,and it’s pretty hard to tell them apart from a human review.
Their study,which will be presented at the ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security in October,aimed to stress how easily these systems can write reviews like humans and how damaging they can become if they’re not monitored properly.
Since many small businesses rely on online reviews to help grow and keep their reputation,a future where someone—like a rival or angry customer—could crazily fill their page with negative reviews written by a machine is pretty worrying.
And,according to the research team,the threat goes far beyond a bunch of fake reviews on Yelp.“In general the threat is bigger,” Ben Y.Zhao,one of the authors of the study,said.“I think the threat towards society is large and it really misleads users and shakes our belief in what is real and what is not.I think that’s going to be even unimaginable.”
To test how believable these reviews came across,the researchers invited 40 volunteers and had AI generate five fake reviews for 40 actual restaurants.The volunteers were asked how useful they thought the reviews were and whether or not they thought they were fake.The AI reviews ranked as “effectively indistinguishable” from real reviews,according to the study.Further,the fake reviews were given a 3.15 “usefulness” rating,compared to a 3.28 rating for human reviews.
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。芝加哥大学的研究人员已经培训出了一种人工智能(AI) 系统,在Yelp网站上编写虚假评论,足以乱真。其目的是强调这些系统可以很容易地写出像人类写的一样的评论,如果它们没有被恰当地运用,它们会变得具有破坏性,而威胁远远不止如此。
1.What can the new artificial intelligence system do according to the passage
A.It can help train new reviewers.
B.It can tell the real reviews from the fake ones.
C.It can write human-like reviews.
D.It can easily damage the businesses.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据文章第一段可知,芝加哥大学的研究人员培训了一种人工智能系统,让它在Yelp网站上撰写虚假评论,很难把它们与人类的评论区分开。由此可知,这种新的人工智能系统可以撰写出像人类写的一样的评论。
2.What does the underlined word “rival” mean in the passage
A.A person who respects you deeply.
B.A person who competes with you.
C.A person who loves to give fake reviews.
D.A person who can control you from a distance.
答案B
解析词义猜测题。根据文章第三段可知,由于许多小企业依赖在线评论来帮助成长和保持声誉,未来有人可能会疯狂地用机器写的负面评论填满它们的页面,这是相当令人担忧的。由此可知画线单词所在部分like a rival or angry customer是someone的同位语,对其进行解释说明。根据上下文语境以及生活常识可以判断出,企业面对的是顾客和竞争对手两类人。因此rival可以理解为竞争对手。
3.What can we infer from Ben Y.Zhao’s remarks
A.Artificial intelligence can put the society in danger.
B.The artificial intelligence is only used by the researchers.
C.Ben Y.Zhao is optimistic about the further development of artificial intelligence.
D.The artificial intelligence will help people shake.
答案A
解析推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“‘In general the threat is bigger,’” Ben Y.Zhao,one of the authors of the study,said.‘I think the threat towards society is large and it really misleads users and shakes our belief in what is real and what is not.I think that’s going to be even unimaginable.’”可知,他认为AI智能能够误导用户明辨是非的能力,会对社会带来不可想象的威胁。
4.What is the best title for the passage
A.Suggestions on Giving Reviews
B.How to Tell the Fake Reviews
C.Development of AI in Review on Yelp
D.AI is Coming to Steal Your Reviews
答案D
解析主旨大意题。通读全文可知,芝加哥大学的研究人员已经培训出了一种人工智能(AI) 系统,在Yelp网站上编写虚假评论,足以乱真,其目的是强调这种系统可以很容易地写出像人类写的一样的评论,如果它们没有被恰当地运用,它们会变得具有破坏性,而威胁远远不止如此。D选项 “AI is Coming to Steal Your Reviews.”体现了这一中心思想。

Life Back on Earth
It is 7 am in the morning and the alarm reminds me once again to prepare for the school.It is a beautiful day with clear sky and lots of bright sunshine.But I don’t have time to soak into this because my school vehicle will come sharp at 8 and in case I miss,my parent will give me a beating.So better run.
My school bus just took off and drove past the residential towers.It takes only 5 minutes to reach the school where each of us will have designated routines to follow and any deviation will be caught on CCTV and reported back to my parents online on their desk.After all,it is the year 2300.
Oh yes!We are the 4th generation people living on Europa in a habitable space which has been created specifically for us by man in the 22nd century.The earth became dangerous for living due to increasing pollution which our forefathers created and hence mankind had to look for other places for a living.All over the world,a handful of people were selected and my great grandparents traveled all the way to this place to continue a life.
It is 12 pm and lunchtime.Today we were served some delicious cream and chocolates.These are made on planet Mars these days and brought here directly.I am feeling a little sleepy but my robotic teacher won’t give me a break and also our results will be out today.I am feeling a little tensed.
Oh my God!I have come first in my class,feeling over the moon(Or,over the Europa).And,you won’t believe me-I have got a chance to visit the earth along with others on a day trip.I am so excited about the trip and my parents are equally so.I am carrying my latest camera to catch every moment of the journey.
Finally we are on the earth after the 4 hours’ journey and we are in our organo-synthetic suit to protect against the harmful environment where once mankind took their first breath.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
There are still some colonies of humans spreading across the globe mostly in the triangular land mass (historians say it Africa)and I am very eager to see them closely.

There are still some colonies of humans spreading across the globe mostly in the triangular land mass (historians say it Africa)and I am very eager to see them closely.Upon arrival,we found ourselves deep in hazy atmosphere,which,as my robot guide tells me,is the result of air pollution.We were almost out of breath,so we had to look for some places where we could breathe.How could mankind survive here I wondered.Luckily,we escaped and landed near a school,where some crazy kids are running around a ball on an open ground,shouting “Goal,Goal,Goal” all the time.My robot guide told me that it was called “football”.The most popular game on the earth I thought of my game of“Alien Invasion” which is more exciting.Then we continued our trip...
It is getting darker and we had to go back.While back,I still thought about the air pollution,the dirty water,the bare land on the earth.I can’t understand why mankind didn’t care about their home.Though I carried my camara,I took few pictures.The journey to the earth made me sad for those who live in that place.第五单元测评

第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。
A
Martín Ramírez from Argentina
I think it is okay for scientists to grow genetically-engineer food because they can develop better food and this can help with the hunger problem all around the world.Scientists can help us to have more and better meats to eat by cloning only the superior animals.I don’t think that we should worry so much about genetically-engineered food.
Angela Fernandez from Mexico
I don’t know if the tomatoes we find in supermarkets
are genetically manipulated or not.What I do know is that they are very bad!A tomato grown with sun and soil is much better.In the case of strawberries,actually,most strawberries we can find are very tasty.I guess,however,they have been genetically manipulated,too.
Vera Sirotkina from Russia
If we manipulate vegetable genes,we can also do with human genes.So it may be possible that a substance which is left in food could get into a human body while the person is eating.Then,is it possible that this substance could modify the person’s genetic structure
Pinar Müfftler from Turkey
I don’t agree with the idea that scientists should not grow genetically-engineered food because it is not safe.If they want to make progress,they should do experiments.It’s important to keep trying.If they don’t keep trying,they will never be able to develop new technologies.Maybe these technologies won’t be successful in the beginning,but if scientists keep trying,they will develop new ways.

One summer day as I was heading to the teaching building I heard someone call my name.I turned around and saw Philip,a counselor (顾问) at our admissions office,standing with another young man.Philip introduced me to him,Stephen,and reminded me that Stephen would be taking one of my classes.
Stephen looked at me.With a somewhat painful expression,he asked if my class was going to be hard and if he would be able to pass.I introduced all the things that he would be expected to learn.As we talked,I saw Stephen’s eyes getting big with fear.
I told him to do all of his assignments,and to hand them in on time.Rather than being overwhelmed (压倒) by all of the work,I told him the most successful students made a master calendar of all the assignments so they could plan their workload.
As the fall semester went on,I learned more of Stephen’s story.It had taken him longer to finish the assignments than most young people.Family members,including his mother,kept reminding him that he was a failure.But he kept at it and didn’t take them to heart.He told me that before coming to our college,no one believed he could manage it.
Stephen didn’t become an A student.Still,he managed to pass most of his courses by being in class every day,turning in all of his assignments on time and breaking down his studying into bite-sized parts.By passing course after course,he began to gain a measure of self-esteem.
On his graduation day,he walked up to me,and said,“Thank you.”

C
Dear Sir,
There is a plan to build a new supermarket on the edge of the Whitefields housing estate(住宅区),on the land where the local library now is.I live at Whitefields,and I would like to express my concern about this plan.It is not that I am completely against the idea of building a supermarket—I just think that as a community we need to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages before committing ourselves.
It is clear that the library is under-used and in poor condition.It is also clear that there are very few shops near here and a supermarket would be a good thing to have.But the people who want to build the supermarket seem to think that no one wants the library any more,and that it isn’t a must because of the Internet and so on.Is this necessarily true,especially for elderly people What about young people who don’t have the Internet at home and need to go to the library to do their homework Where can they study if they have to share a room with a younger brother or sister
On the other hand,there is an argument that a new supermarket would not only bring more choice of shopping and more convenience for local people,but it would also bring some much-needed jobs for younger people in the town—and this is a good point.What we need to do is consider the effect a supermarket will have on our quality of life.Certainly local people,including me,will find shopping a lot easier and more convenient.But there will also be extra traffic.In a few years from now,the roads in and around will be full of cars in the daytime and delivery lorries at night,and not only that—we will have got used to it,too.Are more jobs and more convenience worth such an influence on our daily lives Perhaps,but this is what we have to ask ourselves.
I believe that all the people of Whitefields,and the authority,need to discuss this question in an open-minded way—and I hope that by the time a decision is taken,we will have had a full and fair discussion of the issues involved,and that the local authority will have really listened to everyone’s view.Is that too much to ask
Yours faithfully,
Tom Watkins
【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。作者通过书信的形式向有关部门建议要谨慎考虑把图书馆改建为超市的计划。虽然超市能方便人们的日常生活,提供就业机会,但图书馆能丰富没有网络的人的精神世界,帮助学生完成作业,这一点是超市无法取代的。因此作者希望有关部门能够慎重考虑。
28.The supporters of the supermarket probably think 　　　.
A.the library is no longer needed
B.the library is too poor to be rebuilt
C.the supermarket brings down goods price
D.supermarket increases local workers’ income
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But the people who want to build the supermarket seem to think that no one wants the library any more”可知,支持建超市的人是因为他们觉得不再有人想要图书馆了。
29.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A.Shopping convenience.
B.Job opportunity.
C.Life quality.
D.Traffic condition.
答案D
解析词义猜测题。it作代词时,代表前文已提到过的一件事物。前文中提到“the roads in and around will be full of cars in the daytime and delivery lorries at night(这个住宅区的路白天会塞满车,晚上有运输卡车)”可知,此处的it指的是交通情况。
30.What is the author’s attitude toward the plan
A.Approving.
B.Neutral.
C.Negative.
D.Confident.
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I would like to express my concern about this plan.It is not that I am completely against...”可知,作者写这封信的目的是为了表达自己对于这个计划的担心,而且作者希望有关部门能权衡利弊后再做出决定,说明作者对这个计划的态度是消极的。
31.Why is the letter written
A.To promote effective public reading.
B.To call for concern over an urban project.
C.To discuss ways of improving life quality.
D.To express dissatisfaction with public equipment.
答案B
解析推理判断题。文中第一段提到社区图书馆将被改建为超市的计划,作者在信中表达了他的顾虑。根据“I just think that as a community we need to weigh up the advantages...”可知,作者希望有关部门能够权衡利弊后再做出决定,故这封信的写作目的是呼吁关注这个项目。
D
The climate change has become an issue that no one can escape from.If the world wants to limit climate change,water shortage and pollution,then we all need to choose “flexitarian (弹性素食)” diets,say scientists.
This means eating mainly plant-based food,which is one of three key steps towards a sustainable future for all in 2050,they say.Food waste will need to be halved and farming practices will also have to improve,according to the study.Without action,the impacts of the food system could increase by up to 90%.Fast on the heels of the landmark report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) comes this new study on how food production and consumption impact major threats to the planet.
The authors say that the food system has a number of significant environmental impacts including being a major driver of climate change,providing freshwater and reducing pollution through over use of nitrogen (氮) and phosphorus (磷).
The study says that thanks to the population and income growth expected between 2010 and 2050,these impacts could grow between 50%-90%.This could push our world beyond its geographic boundaries.So when it comes to climate change,the authors looked at what they called a “flexitarian diet”.
“We can eat a range of healthy diets but what they all have in common,according to the latest scientific evidence,is that they are all relatively plant-based,” said lead author Dr.Marco Springmann from the University of Oxford.
“You can go from a diet that has small amounts of animal products;some might call it a ‘Mediterranean-based’ diet;we call it a ‘flexitarian’ diet.We tried to stay with the most conservative one of these which in our view is the flexitarian one,but even this has only one serving of red meat per week,” he added.
If the world moved to this type of diet,the study found that greenhouse gas emissions (排放) from agriculture would be reduced by more than half.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。研究表明,弹性素食饮食有助于改善环境。
32.What benefit will the new diet bring to the world
A.The animals will be saved.
B.People will need more water.
C.The climate change will stop.
D.The pollution will be controlled.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“If the world wants to limit climate change,water shortage and pollution,then we all need to choose ‘flexitarian’ diets,say scientists.”可知,通过选择弹性素食饮食,人们可以限制气候变化,缓解水资源短缺并能减少污染。故选D项。
33.What can be called a “flexitarian” diet
A.Eat animal products every meal.
B.Eat plant-based vegetables every meal.
C.Eat mainly vegetables and never eat animal products.
D.Eat plant-based meal mainly and animal products sometimes.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“You can go from a diet that has small amounts of animal products;some might call it a ‘Mediterranean-based’ diet...but even this has only one serving of red meat per week”可知,弹性素食饮食主要是以蔬菜为基础的饮食,但每周至少也要吃一次红肉。由此可推知,弹性素食饮食以蔬菜为主,肉食为辅。故选D项。
34.What will happen if the new diet is popular globally
A.The climate will become warmer.
B.The food consumption will increase.
C.People will have less greenhouse gas.
D.People will produce more food waste.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据最后一段可知,如果全球都采取这种饮食方式,农业所产生的温室气体排放量将减少一半以上,即温室气体的产生量会变得更少。故选C项。
35.What is the attitude of the author to the new diet
A.Supportive.
B.Doubtful.
C.Opposed.
D.Indifferent.
答案A
解析推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了弹性素食饮食有助于改善环境。由此可推知,作者对这种饮食方式是支持的。故选A项。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question:“Should I jump ” This is what motivation or the lack of it can do.Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin.　36　 Like the child on the diving board,you will stay undecided.
　37　 More than that,how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal First,you need to evaluate yourself,your values,your strengths,your weaknesses,your achievements,your desires,etc.Only then should you set your goals.
You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation.This is quite important,because it is directly related to your commitment.There are times when your heart is not in your work.　38　 So,slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment.Clarity(清晰)of thoughts can help you move forward.
Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyse your short and long-term objectives,keeping in mind your beliefs,values and strengths.Remember that goals are flexible.　39　 They also need to be measurable.You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.
Your personal circumstances are equally important.For example,you may want to be a pilot but can’t become one because your eyesight is not good enough.　40　 You should reassess your goals,and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.
You will surely need to overcome some difficulties,some planned,but most unplanned.You cannot overcome them without ample motivation.Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.
A.This can affect your work.
B.So how should you motivate yourself
C.However,this should not discourage you.
D.So why should we try to set specific goals
E.They can change according to circumstances.
F.Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.
G.Without motivation,you can neither set a goal nor reach it.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了动机和目标的关系以及如何激发动机并设定切实可行的目标。
36.G　上文说“动机和目标设定是同一枚硬币的两面”,下文说“就像在跳水板上的孩子,你会犹豫不决”。该空承上启下,G项“没有动机,你就既不能设定目标,也无法实现它”切题,故选G项。
37.B　上一段阐述了动机和设定目标的关系,强调了动机的重要性,本段进一步讲如何激励自己并保持动机来实现目标。B项“那么你应该如何激励自己呢 ”承上启下,故选B项。
38.A　上文说“有时候你的心不在工作上”,下文说“所以,减慢速度,想一想那时候你到底想做什么”。该空承上启下,A项“这会影响你的工作”切题,故选A项。
39.E　上文说“记得,目标是灵活的”。该空承接上文,E选项“它们会根据环境的改变而改变”切题,故选E项。
40.C　上文说“你可能想当一名飞行员,但是不能成为一名飞行员,因为你的视力不够好”,下文说“你应该重新评估你的目标,并且激励自己设定一个新的目标”。该空承上启下,C项“然而,这不应该使你气馁”切题,故选C项。

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是说明文,介绍中国的二十四节气。
56.was recognised　考查被动语态。that后的表语从句中主语是the“24 Solar Terms”,与后面的recognise 构成被动关系,因此答案是was recognised。
57.invention　考查名词。the fifth great 后面应该用名词。因此答案为invention。
58.the　考查冠词。名词wisdom是特指,用the。
59.which　考查关系代词。分析句子结构,逗号后面是非限制性定语从句,因此each of后面要用which,答案是which。
60.instructions　考查名词。形容词important后面应该用名词,instruction是可数名词,用复数,答案是instructions。
61.on　考查介词。rely on为固定搭配。答案是on。
62.to protect　考查不定式。不定式作目的状语。答案是to protect。
63.Fortunately　考查副词。在句首作状语,答案是Fortunately。
64.themselves　考查反身代词。主语是young people,have involved的宾语应该是themselves。
65.writing　考查非谓语动词。taking photos,drawing pictures 和or后面的短语应该是并列结构,因此答案是writing。

The eight-year-old Carol lived with her father David,Mother May and elder brother Rob.The little family happily lived in a beautiful village surrounded with beautiful nature.The village was at the foot of a mountain,with beautiful views of the snowy mountain.The family survived on growing seasonal plants and trees.Their life is totally surrounded by nature and beauty.
While they lived a very happy life,Carol did not love the beautiful atmosphere of the village.She really wanted to move into the city and enjoy the city life.She wanted to shop,move around the city,watch movies,and eat in fantastic restaurants and cafes,etc.
However,there was hardly any chance that Carol’s family moved to the city as they had everything in the village.
One day,Carol fell asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep.Of course,she had a strange dream.She saw her grandmother in her dream as a fairy and her deceased grandmother granted her a wish.Carol requested her that she should love to enjoy the city life as she always desired.
Grandmother understood the desire of Carol,but still wanted to convince her that the peaceful village life is better than the city life.
She told Carol,“Baby,you cannot have access to fresh fruits and vegetables from plants as you have at your home.You cannot breathe fresh air.You cannot play with animals.You can hardly find any trees.You will not find peace as you see here!Do you still want to go to the city ”
Without hearing the concerns,Carol asked her grandmother to grant the wish.Grandmother granted her wish,but with a condition.Carol was told that she would only have 6 hours to spend in the city.Later,she would return to the village.Carol agreed.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

Carol’s brother Rob was calling her for lunch and Carol woke up.She recalled what happened just now in her dream and realised that her life in the village with her family was far more wonderful than the city life.Carol understood that she was having a more joyful life.She shared her dream with her family while enjoying the fresh fruits and vegetables,and they laughed together.Carol also developed love for plants,animals and beautiful nature.Section D　Using Language (Ⅱ) & Assessing Your Progress

主题语境:人与自我　生活与学习
Children used to be able to play freely,exploring and interacting with the natural world with little or no supervision(监督) by adults.They were free to invent games of their own.Nowadays,however,we control the lives of our children much more,giving them fewer chances for free play.Many children in England used to spend hours playing on their bikes,having all sorts of adventures,but this is now considered too dangerous.Some working families can’t care for their children after school,so the children have to stay indoors or attend supervised after-school activities.
The result is that some children have little time for play any more and when they do it’s often spent in front of the television or computer.In the past,children in Brazil played a game which involves spinning (旋转) a large seed with a hole in it to create a scream-like noise.They rarely play this game nowadays.
Studies show that outdoor environments help all people by reducing stress and creating a general feeling of well-being.When children play in the open air,they are more likely to have positive feelings about each other.
Outdoor environments are also important for children’s development of independence.When playing outside,children can gradually increase the distance from adults.Adults are then more willing to trust their children,an important element in confidence-building which improves the relationship between child and parents.
Outdoors,children have more chances to use all their senses.They have greater freedom not only to run and shout,but also to interact with the environment.Activities which may not be allowed indoors are perfectly acceptable outdoors;children are free to play messy games out in the open air that just wouldn’t be permitted in the home.
Children experience the natural environment differently from adults.Adults typically see nature as background to what they are doing,while for children it is a hands-on experience.The expensive toys and indoor educational games cannot substitute for the experience of direct interaction with nature.They cannot replace the sensation where a child’s attention is suddenly caught by the sunlight through leaves or the gentle noise of water flowing by.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍现在的孩子几乎没有机会进行户外活动以及户外活动对孩子的好处。
1.The author mentions a Brazilian game to show that 　　　.
A.it was common for children to invent games in the past
B.TVs and computers are more popular than outdoor games
C.Brazilian children used to play outdoor games
D.children seldom play outdoors nowadays
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In the past,children in Brazil played a game which involves spinning a large seed with a hole in it to create a scream-like noise.They rarely play this game nowadays.”可知,过去巴西儿童玩一个游戏,这个游戏里,旋转一个大的里面有孔的种子来制造像噪音一样的尖锐的声音,但是如今他们几乎不玩了。故可知,作者举例是为了说明如今的孩子很少进行户外活动,故选D项。
2.How do adults react when their children become more independent
A.They don’t control the lives of their children anymore.
B.They have more confidence in their children.
C.They want their children to stay indoors.
D.They experience less stress.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Adults are then more willing to trust their children,an important element in confidence-building which improves the relationship between child and parents.”可知,成年人会更愿意信任孩子,这是树立信心的重要因素之一,而这种信心会改善父母与子女之间关系。故可知,当孩子更独立的时候,父母往往会对孩子更有信心,故选B项。
3.Which of the following can replace the underlined part “substitute for” in the last paragraph
A.Take the place of.　　　B.Be based on.
C.Be used as. D.Get through.
答案A
解析词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的“They cannot replace the sensation where a child’s attention is suddenly caught by the sunlight through leaves or the gentle noise of water flowing by.”可推知,昂贵的玩具和室内教育性游戏无法替代这种经历。substitute for与take the place of都为“替代”的意思,故选A项。
4.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text
A.To introduce some outdoor games.
B.To present a study on outdoor play.
C.To encourage people to interact more with nature.
D.To advise parents to let children play outdoors more.
答案D
解析主旨大意题。本文介绍现在的孩子几乎没有机会进行户外活动以及户外活动对孩子的好处,因此建议父母能够给孩子更多的户外活动的机会,故选D项。

The farmer was lucky.A few days later,a young man came to the police station with a lot of journalists,saying that he saw the murderer.It was the police officer who killed the man on the snow!He saw the police officer used a knife killing the man late in the evening.He was so frightened and ran away.But the young man thought the farmer was innocent.So he took the great courage to expose the real criminal.After the investigation,the young man was right.The police officer was sent into prison and the policeman who beat up the farmer was fired,and the brave young man was regarded as the hero by the villagers.Section C　Using Language(Ⅰ)

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了茶的渊源及几个国家的茶文化。
1.itself　考查代词。此处填的代词与句子主语tea形成互指关系,用反身代词,故填itself。
2.was described　考查动词的时态和语态。根据语境中的时间状语 “A century before the birth of Christ”可知,事情发生在过去,且tea和describe之间构成逻辑上的动宾关系,用一般过去时的被动语态,故填was described。
3.longer　考查形容词的比较级。此处表示“让人活得更长”,用比较级,故填longer。
4.preventing　考查非谓语动词。介词后跟名词、代词或动词-ing形式作宾语,故填preventing。
5.is　考查主谓一致。句子主语为tea,且与下文的 “is drunk” 在时态上呼应,此处用一般现在时的第三人称单数形式,故填is。
6.The　考查冠词。the Chinese表示全体中国人。故填The。
7.flowers　考查名词复数。flower是可数名词,由前面的other可知,此处表示复数概念,故填flowers。
8.at　考查介词。at a loss 固定搭配,表示“困惑,不知所措”,故填at。
9.held　考查非谓语动词。hold和句子谓语之间没有连词,故用非谓语动词;句子主语The ceremony和hold构成逻辑上的动宾关系,用过去分词形式,故填held。
10.as　考查连词。由“as+形容词+as”的结构可知,此处用连词as引导比较状语从句,故填as。
Ⅵ.概要写作
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
A travel diary is an individual’s record of his or her travels.This may be kept in a personal journal or diary and only read by the individual,or it may be kept online in a blog.The individual may then share the travel diary with others.Many people keep travel diaries so they better remember all the details of the trip,and keep track of where they have been,particularly if they are frequent travellers.
There is no right or wrong way to keep a travel diary.Some people just buy a simple diary and set down basic notes throughout their trip.Others will buy a designated travel diary and write lengthy descriptions for each day or special events of the trip.When we keep diaries,it is important not to get bogged down in the way it is “supposed” to be done,and just write in the way that seems the most natural.
A travel diary is not only used for writing.Many diaries have places to insert photos or souvenirs,such as ticket stubs or concert shows.Keeping all of your travel memorabilia in one place is a great way to save them for later trips,and many people choose to combine their travel diaries and photo albums into a sort of scrapbook.This is another great thing to share with others.
Keeping a travel diary on a website can be a great way to connect with other people who are interested in travelling,or to share adventures with friends and family who may live far away.It is easy to upload photos to a website as well,to make it even more descriptive.Individuals can choose whether they want to protect the website with a password,and only make it accessible to certain people.Besides,a public travel blog makes the information open to anyone.If keeping a travel blog online,be sure to back it up regularly to make sure all the travel memories are not lost.

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位学生长途跋涉给老师带来了沙漠里的清泉,虽然泉水由于装在皮水壶里时间太长而变得味道苦涩,但是它承载的爱和善良却让老师深受感动。
1.travelling　考查非谓语动词。句意:一个年轻人在穿越沙漠的时候,遇到一潭清水。此处为while引导的时间状语从句的省略,完整的从句应为“While he was travelling through a desert”,省略时应该将主语和be动词同时省略,即省略he was,故填travelling。
2.who/that　考查定语从句。句意:他把他的皮容器装满水,这样他可以带些回去给做过他老师的老人。这里是定语从句,先行词是an elder(一位老人),在定语从句中作主语,故填who/that。
3.for　考查固定短语。thank sb for sth意为“就某物向某人表示感谢”,故填for。
4.left　考查时态。句意:这个学生走后,老师让另外一个学生品尝从沙漠带回的水。因为这个学生离开是过去的事情,所以谓语动词应使用一般过去时,故填left。
5.saying　考查非谓语动词。句意:他把水吐出来,说它太难喝了。本句中的动词say与句子主语he构成主动关系,所以使用现在分词的形式作伴随状语,表示动作与spit同时发生,故填saying。
6.to like　考查固定短语。句意:为什么你假装喜欢它呢 pretend to do sth是固定短语,意为 “假装做某事”,故填to like。
7.simply　考查副词。句意:水只不过是装着善意和爱的容器。此处需填入副词在句中作状语,意为“只不过”,simple的副词是simply,故填simply。
8.sweeter　考查形容词比较级。句意:没什么能比它更甜了。语境中暗含比较意味,因此使用形容词的比较级形式。否定词和比较级连用表示最高级的含义,该句可转化为The water is sweeter than anything else,故填sweeter。
9.it　考查代词。句意:无论这种礼物是一个廉价的烟斗还是一条贵重的钻石项链。此处需填入代词作主语,指代上文提到的礼物,再根据表语a cheap pipe or a diamond necklace是单数,可知使用it代替礼物,故填it。
10.appreciation　考查名词。句意:无论这种礼物是一个廉价的烟斗还是一条贵重的钻石项链,对之作出的适当的反应就是欣赏。此处需要填入名词作表语,appreciate(欣赏)是动词,它的名词是appreciation,故填appreciation。
Ⅵ.概要写作
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
For many years there’s been a debate about rewarding our children.Does it work
Some people think parents should establish a standard with kids and give them something for meeting this standard as a reward.Punishment is given out in much the same way,but it’s used when certain standards of performance or behaviour have not been met.Kids will often become more dutiful when threatened with punishment,and work harder when promised a valuable reward.The problem is what happens when parents aren’t around.
To develop responsible,self-disciplined (自律的) kids,parents need to promote certain ideas.One of these ideas is that everyone pitches in and helps in the family,even if someone is not crazy about helping.Another idea is that there can be enjoyment in doing any task.When a task is for a worthy cause (our family can enjoy the house more because I helped clean it),and when parents are cheerful about their kids’ chores,this message can have a big impact.
This is how parents help kids develop a sense of responsibility.When children develop this responsibility,they’ll be more disciplined,and they’ll control their emotions better.When parents give rewards to kids,they reduce the sense of responsibility.They also create children who may temporarily perform to a certain standard,but who aren’t likely to continue the performance without the carrot hanging in front of them.
“Rewards and punishments can change behaviour for a while,but they cannot change the person who engages in the behaviour,at least in the way we want,” said Alfie Kohn,author of Punished by Rewards.“Good values have to be grown from the inside out.” Parents can help give their children a sense of shared responsibility and discipline which can last a lifetime.The real rewards that children receive will be their readiness for the complex and demanding world that waits for them—a world that rewards those who have learned the secrets of discipline and responsibility.







参考范文
Rewards and punishments cannot make kids behave in the desired way.(要点1)Instead,parents should promote the idea of responsibility among their children.(要点2)They should try to make their kids see that certain kinds of behaviour damage the family while other kinds of behaviour make family life satisfying and enjoyable.(要点3)Only in this way can good values be grown,values that will help kids become responsible adults.(要点4)第三单元测评

Fifty years ago I had a young family of three boys.My husband Johnny and I left them with a friend while we made a rare trip to the cinema in Liverpool.
It was dark and pouring with rain but with the headlights shining on the road,we saw something ahead of us.Johnny pulled to a stop and I jumped out,ran to the grass edge and grabbed a small,wet,and frightened creature.I wrapped it safely in my woollen hat and insisted that my husband turn back and head for home.We thought it was a baby rabbit because it had long ears and was grayish-brown in colour.Once home,we filled a box with torn-up newspaper and a warm towel.We named our new animal Bobsy as we had no idea of its sex.
Sadly though,on the third day with us,it caught its back foot in a door and we quickly realised it was broken.We rushed to the vet(兽医),who said,“It’s only a rabbit.I’ll put it to sleep.” Our response was a very determined,“No way!”We found anther vet and told that she was a baby hare.We were told we should continue to keep her in her box for a week and her foot would heal.
After her recovery,Bobsy learnt to use the kitty litter tray.She would comb her long ears with her front paws.The local paper heard about this and came to our house to take her photo and write a story about her.We had her for seven wonderful years before we moved to New Zealand and we will never forget her.

The city-state of Dubai that is home to the world’s tallest building is fast improving its reputation as the city of the future.On May 22,Dubai officials added to their list of futuristic accomplishments with the introduction of the world’s first robot police officer.
Nicknamed Robocop after the 1987 action movie,the 1.7-metre tall humanoid (类人的) robot was introduced at the 4th annual Gulf Information Security Expo and Conference.First introduced in 2011 as REEM by Barcelona-based PAL Robotics,the robot was built to entertain guests at conferences and serve as an information booth at public places.However,the forward-thinking officials of the Dubai police force saw another potential application and partnered with the Spanish company to build a version that would help improve public safety.
Locals and visitors can get help from Lieutenant Robocop which is currently on duty at the Dubai Mall,using the touchscreen on its chest.Armed with technology from Google and IBM’s supercomputer Watson,the “policeman” can provide visitors with directions and other information regarding the mall in one of six languages,including Arabic and English and also accept payment for any fines,like parking tickets.It can also detect criminals with an 80 percent accuracy from 100-feet away and send the information real-time to command centre through its camera eyes.While Robocop cannot physically protect people in trouble,an SOS button on its touchscreen can connect them to a human member of the Dubai police force instantly.When not assisting people or seeking out lawbreakers,Robocop brings smiles to people’s faces by posing for selfies or showering them with compliments.
Once the robot officer has been thoroughly tested,the Smart Services Department at Dubai Police plans to “hire” more Robocops to patrol (巡逻) other public areas and also act as receptionists at police stations.

Can I talk about salary at work In a word:yes.As the HR company Insperity put it in a recent blog post:Can your employees discuss their salaries or wages with their co-workers Yes.Even if you have a company policy against it Yes.
The freedom to discuss your salary at work is a protected right under the labour law.The National Labour Relations Act of 1935 protects your right to discuss the conditions of your employment,including issues related to safety and pay,even when you’re not protected by a union.
Talking about salary with colleagues can be uncomfortable,since there’s such a taboo about discussing money matters,but it’s an important step towards achieving equal pay for equal work.One barrier,however,stems from how we think of our own financial worth.Too many people I talk to wrongly consider their salary a reflection of their worthiness,a statement about their skills,experience,or value.At the end of the day,if we can all separate our self-worth from our salaries a bit more,it’ll become easier to talk frankly with our colleagues.
Asking about money outright can be tough,so one trick I’ve picked up along the way is to ask for your colleagues to confirm or deny.For instance,you might volunteer your salary first and ask “Does that sound right to you ” by way of comparison.Or,let’s say you’re interviewing for a promotion to become a manager.You might ask a fellow manager about the kind of salary you should expect by saying,“I’m seeing salaries for this kind of position ranging from $65,000 to $70,000—does that seem accurate to you ” This way,even if your colleague isn’t comfortable sharing their salary outright,they can help you identify if your expectations are on point or way off.
【语篇解读】本文是议论文。文章主要讨论了是否可以在工作中谈论薪金的问题。
32.What makes co-workers uncomfortable to talk about salaries
A.The safety issue.
B.The labour law.
C.The wrong idea about salaries.
D.The reflection of their worthiness.
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据第三段中的“One barrier,however,stems from how we think of our own financial worth”和对第三段的整体理解可推知,对薪金的错误看法导致同事间谈论薪金时感到不舒服。
33.What does “taboo” underlined in Paragraph 3 refer to
A.A prohibited practice.
B.A firm belief.
C.A general agreement.
D.A social custom.
答案A
解析词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“Talking about salary with colleagues can be uncomfortable”可知,和同事谈薪金让人不舒服,并结合常识可推知,谈论钱的事情是一个禁忌,故选A项。
34.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4
A.One of my interview experiences.
B.My way of asking about money.
C.The method of raising questions.
D.An example of getting promoted.
答案B
解析主旨大意题。根据语境可知,第四段第一句“Asking about money outright can be tough,so one trick I’ve picked up along the way is to ask for your colleagues to confirm or deny”点出了本段要谈论的主题,并结合对本段的整体理解可推知,本段主要讲的是询问关于薪金的方法。
35.What can be the best title for the text
A.How to Discuss Salaries at Work
B.Ways of Talking about Salaries
C.Do Salaries Stand for Self-worth
D.Can Salaries be Talked about at Work
答案D
解析标题归纳题。本文第一段第一句“Can I talk about salary at work ”点出了要谈论的话题,并结合对全文的整体理解可推知,本文主要讨论了是否可以在工作中谈论薪金的问题。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I wouldn’t be the person I am today if I never travelled.Travelling has given me tons of great lessons that I’ll never forget.
Appreciating another culture
Learning about another culture at school is one thing,but actually experiencing it is another.You can visit art museums,watch landmarks,or just stop at a café.　36　Before you know it,you’ll pick up on local customs or fall in love with unfamiliar foods.
The pleasure of unplugging from social media
Social media takes up a lot of our time and it’s really distracting and even damaging.So for me,when I travel I love the fact that I’m often cut off from any Internet.I stop caring about what others are doing and instead focus on having fun.　37　
Exploring your capability(能力)
　38　 It brings the best out of you.As a shy person,I feel a sense of pride when I make friends with complete strangers or talk in broken foreign languages.Travelling has truly changed me in the best way.Now,whatever happens,I’m capable of meeting the challenge!
Patience
I have never taken a vacation where nothing goes wrong.I ever lost my luggage,got hopelessly confused with directions,and waited 5 hours on a train that broke down mid journey.　39　 Unexpected things can happen at any moment.The accidents encountered during travel teach you to be more patient with your everyday problems.
The world isn’t as scary as you think
If you watch the news as much as I do,it’s easy to start thinking that the entire world is a scary,dangerous place.　40　 But in general,the average country is just as safe as the one you live in now.Why let your fear prevent you
A.Travelling is a transforming experience.
B.Life doesn’t always go according to plans.
C.Travelling,however,makes us all stop and enjoy the moment.
D.The world is a giant place,and we each just make up a tiny part of it.
E.I find a life behind a screen can never compare with a life being lived fully.
F.It’s important when travelling to keep your wisdom and take special precautions.
G.Travelling exposes you to people and lifestyles quite different from those back at home.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。作者提倡旅行,旅行可以让人学到在学校中学不到的文化。同时作者说明了旅行给作者带来的五点宝贵的经验。
36.G　根据上文“You can visit art museums,watch landmarks,or just stop at a café.”可知旅行会让你接触到与国内截然不同的人和生活方式。故选G项。
37.E　根据上文“I stop caring about what others are doing and instead focus on having fun.”可知作者不再关注手机和网络,而是发现屏幕后的生活永远比不上充实的生活。故选E项。
38.A　根据本段倒数第二句“Travelling has truly changed me in the best way.”可知旅行真的以最好的方式改变了我。可知本段的中心内容是:旅行是一种转变的体验。故选A项。
39.B　根据后文“Unexpected things can happen at any moment.”可知旅行不总是遵循计划的。故选B项。
40.F　根据上文“If you watch the news as much as I do,it’s easy to start thinking that the entire world is a scary,dangerous place.”可知如果你像我看新闻一样多的话,很容易开始认为整个世界是一个可怕的、危险的地方。由此可推知,旅行时,保持你的智慧和采取特别的预防措施是重要的。故选F项。

I always remember one Christmas when we　41　 outside of town.My older brother had a job in a different city but he always made it home to 　42　 the holidays.During the few days before Christmas Day,we 　43　 a violent snowstorm with powerful winds.It was so bad that the country road was almost impassable.
The day before Christmas was more　44　 than I had ever imagined.My older brother was stuck at a stranger’s home where he had been 　45　 to stay overnight because of the storm.The person was 　46　 enough to let him stay until morning.But,the 　47　 was that he couldn’t get his car to start and there was no assistance available.

I always prided myself on being a wise shopper and having a good nose for bargains.So when I came across a sporting goods store with a sign “Going Out of Business Sale” I marched into the crowded store.Up and down the aisles(通道),I wandered,humming to myself and enjoying the energy and excitement of a sale.
All of a sudden,there,at the back of the store sat a canoe(轻舟) exactly like my husband’s dream Supremo Numero-Uno,whose picture had been stuck on the bathroom mirror for years.My heart beat wildly.I pushed my way through the crowds,and nearly fell into the canoe looking for the price tag.There it was,with the manufacturer’s suggested price at $6,750 plus tax crossed out and a handwritten TO CLEAR $750 AS IS.Must be a mistake.$6,000 off Salesman.I had to talk to a salesman.I spotted a young fellow with a “Hi.I’m Mathew”.“Mathew.Tell me about this El Supremo canoe.What’s wrong with it Why is it only $750 ”
“Oh.There’s nothing wrong with it.It’s brand new.We’re closing the store.It’s on clearance like everything else.I’ll go check.” A few minutes later he came back and said,“I’m sorry,ma’am.Someone made a mistake on the sale tag.It should be $4,750 for the whole package.”
I felt tears well up in my eyes.“Oh,well,”I said sadly.“Of course,it was too good to be true.This is exactly like my husband’s dreamboat.I guess I started to dream myself when I saw that price tag.He’s going to be 62 years old Friday.Had to retire early for his health.It’s been hard on just the pension but the stubborn old fool has been saving $10 every week for years to buy one just like this.I promise I won’t buy anything,but it’s just an old man’s silly dream,you know.Always said he wanted to fish in a canoe after he retired,” my voice lowered and I turned and walked away.

I was already at the mall door when Mathew caught up with me.“Do you have $750 plus $25 for delivery,ma’am ”

“Ma’am.There’s something you should know.This store was my grandpa’s and the canoe had been ordered by him.He always promised to retire one day.He said he wanted to spend time relaxing and out fishing in a canoe.My grandpa died,unexpectedly,just last week.He was only 68 years old.I think he’d be mighty happy that your husband will get this canoe.You just have to make sure he uses it a lot,okay Promise ”“I promise,”I said as I dashed off to look for my dear sweet husband.Section B　Learning about Language

Organic food is very popular.It is also expensive.Some organic food costs twice as much as non-organic food.Some parents and pet owners pay up to 200% more for organic food.However,there are people who think it is a waste of money.
There is one main difference between organic and non-organic food.Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals,such as pesticides.In many countries organic food has special labels.These guarantee that the products are natural.
Some people think organic means locally grown.Originally this was true.Over time organic farming became more difficult.The demand for organic food grew larger than the supply.Small companies had to sell out to large companies.There weren’t enough organic ingredients (原料),such as grain and cattle.This made it difficult for many organic companies to stay in business.Today,many large companies have an organic line of products.
Is organic food more nutritious This is part of the debate.Many farmers and consumers believe it is.They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer.Many health professionals disagree.Few studies prove that organic food prevents health problems.Health specialists worry more about bacteria (细菌),such as E.coli and salmonella.These can get into contact with organic and non-organic food.Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully.Handling meat carefully is important too.
Most people agree that naturally grown food tastes better.Is tastier food worth the extra money This is a matter of opinion.Whether it is healthier or not may require more research.However,organic food consumers argue it is better to be safe than sorry.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。有机食品很受欢迎,但价格也相对昂贵。一些人愿意为此支付高额的费用,也有一些人认为这是在浪费钱财。
1.What is probably the major concern of organic food consumers
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
A.Price. B.Safety.
C.Freshness. D.Variety.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Organic farms do not use agricultural chemicals”和第四段中的“They think agricultural chemicals cause health problems such as cancer”可知,有机食品不使用农药,许多消费者认为农药会引起健康问题,故可推知购买有机食品的消费者主要关心的是安全问题。故选B项。
2.What is the doctors’ suggestion
A.Grow your own food.
B.Reduce the use of pesticides.
C.Make sure the food is clean.
D.Buy large companies’ products.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Doctors recommend washing produce very carefully.Handling meat carefully is important too”可知,医生建议要保证食品是干净的。故选C项。
3.Which of the following do most people agree on organic food
A.It tastes better.
B.It is easier to grow.
C.It contains more fat.
D.It is more nutritious.

主题语境:人与自我　做人与做事
Have you ever had a wonderful idea and thought it would make a great invention,but didn’t know what to do next 　1　 They will help you make your dreams come true and become a famous inventor.
The first thing that you should do is do some research on the Internet to see if anyone else has invented it.If not,you should search through the U.S.Patent information to see if a patent was ever created for your type of invention.　2　
The easiest thing to do is working with an agency that can help you to make your dreams a reality.It can help you present your ideas and get your product to the right companies.One agency that is very reputable (声誉好的) is “Lambert in Minnesota”.　3　
If they think your product is marketable (有销路的),they will help you to get it to the right company.Call the agency and make an appointment.You will want to bring in a model of your invention and a complete description of your ideas.　4　
Then when you meet with them,you can present it and they will tell you how marketable it is.If they decide to help you,they will work to present it to different companies and help you to go to the next step.Once your invention has been sold to a large company,get ready to get the benefits of becoming the next great inventor.　5　 But the benefits are worth the wait.
A.It may take a year or two.
B.If not,go to the next step.
C.You will find something new on the Internet.
D.You will be the next inventor.
E.Write down exactly about your invention.
F.Here are some steps that you can take.
G.They offer free advice for good ideas.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。很多人有好点子,但是不知道如何把好点子变成伟大的发明,文章对此提出了几点建议。
1.F　根据本段第一句可知很多人有很棒的想法,认为自己的想法会成为伟大的发明,但是不知道该如何去做。横线句要把上下文串联起来,F项“Here are some steps that you can take.”承上启下。
2.B　本段告诉我们首先要对自己的发明项目进行研究,查看是否已经有人发明出类似的物品。如果没有,查一下相关的专利情况。如果没有类似的专利被申请,那么你就可以继续做下一步工作。故B项“If not,go to the next step.”符合上下文语境。
3.G　根据前一句“One agency that is very reputable is ‘Lambert in Minnesota’.”可知“Lambert in Minnesota”是一家声誉非常好的代理机构。本句应该介绍这一机构的良好服务,故G项“They offer free advice for good ideas.”与之对应。
4.E　根据前句可知你和代理机构联系好了以后,你要带着模型以及对这个好点子的叙述。最好是把你的想法确切地写下来,然后与对方交流。故E项“Write down exactly about your invention.”与上下文语境一致。
5.A　此处表示:如果你的发明被某一公司购买,那么你只要等待发明给你带来的好处即可。虽然等待的时间可能会比较长,但这样的等待是值得的。故A项“It may take a year or two.”符合上下文语境。Section D　Using Language (Ⅱ) & Assessing Your Progress

主题语境:人与社会　人际沟通
I left England for Sydney in September.It was a career move for my husband,and our 20-year-old daughter was feeling adventurous and decided to come,too.However,just before leaving England,my 79-year-old mother suffered a stroke(中风).Being strong and independent,she continues to live at home with the help of social services.But she couldn’t look after the garden.I thought how wonderful it would be if there was an organisation offering volunteer help.Friends asked me what I planned to do in Australia,and I told them I would be looking for a volunteer position with a gardening charitable organisation.Imagine my surprise when I found just the organisation I had been looking for—Easy Care Gardening( ECG)!
There are several reasons why I volunteer for ECG.Firstly,as a newcomer to Australia I meet many great people who,like me,volunteer some of their time.We cover a large age range,but all love gardens and helping others.
Secondly,through working with ECG I have been lucky enough to explore Sydney’s North Shore that I might not have had the opportunity to visit otherwise.
Finally,there are all those wonderful people we call “clients(客户)”,but are more like friends when we visit them often and tend their gardens.What great people I have met,and the stories they have to tell—the family histories,where they come from and the reasons for immigrating to Australia.I find it a privilege to have access to private gardens which,in many cases,have been the joy of their owners for many years.Each one is individual and reflects the character,needs and the history of each family.Indeed,the gardens reflect the multicultural and historical background of Sydney.
【语篇解读】作者因个人经历决定在澳大利亚做园艺志愿者,帮助客户打理花园。这一工作不仅让作者能帮助他人,而且也给作者带来了很多收获。
1.Why did the author move to Sydney
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
A.Her husband would work there.
B.She planned to volunteer there.
C.She was very keen on adventures.
D.She had to look after her sick mother.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I left England for Sydney in September.It was a career move for my husband...”可知,这次搬去悉尼是由于作者丈夫的事业变动,故选A项。
2.What made the author choose to be a gardening volunteer
A.The popularity of ECG.
B.The tips of her friends.
C.Her own experience.
D.Her gardening skills.
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据第一段可知,作者的母亲患中风不能打理花园,作者希望有一个能帮助他人打理花园的慈善组织,这段经历使她萌生了做园艺志愿者的想法。
3.What do the volunteers at ECG have in common
A.They make friends with their clients.
B.They like to explore Sydney’s North Shore.
C.They are of similar ages and backgrounds.
D.They are kind-hearted with the same interest.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据第二段中的“We cover a large age range,but all love gardens and helping others.”可知,该组织有各个年龄段的志愿者,他们都喜欢园艺和帮助他人。由此可知,他们都善良并有共同的兴趣。
4.What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A.Client. B.Garden.
C.Reason. D.Joy.
答案B
解析代词指代题。根据最后一段中的“I find it a privilege to have access to private gardens”可知,中心词是garden,再结合“Indeed,the gardens reflect the multicultural and historical background of Sydney.”可推断出,这里的one指的是garden。

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Long ago,in a remote village,there was a place known as the House of 1,000 Mirrors,which a great number of people visit every day.Nobody knew why the house had been built with so many mirrors.
A small,happy little dog heard of this place and decided to pay a visit himself.He ran all of his way with a happy heart.So long was the way that he spent many days on his way.When he arrived,although tired,he jumped happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house.There was a hole in the door.He looked through the hole with his ears lifting high and his tail shaking as fast as it could.To his great surprise,he found himself looking at 1,000 other happy little dogs with their tails shaking just as fast as his.He laughed a lot,and was answered with 1,000 great smiles just as warm and kind as his.As he left the house,he said to himself,“This is a wonderful place.I will come back and visit it often.And I will tell all my friends to come here to enjoy the wonderful sight.”
In this same village,another little dog,which was sad and in blue all the day,also decided to visit the house.After running on the way for so long a time,he felt tired as well as depressed.He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the hole in the door.To his great surprise,he saw the 1,000 unfriendly dogs looking at him,so he barked at them right away.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Then he was terrified to see 1,000 little dogs barking back at him.




Instead,the happy little dog came back together with lots of good friends.






参考范文
Then he was terrified to see 1,000 little dogs barking back at him.He felt depressed and frightened,and decided to leave.As he left,he thought that place was a really terrible place,and there were so many unfriendly dogs which barked at him.He decided that he would never come back and visit it again and he would advise all his friends not to come here to see the horrible dogs.Thus he left the house and never returned.
Instead,the happy little dog came back together with lots of good friends.They jumped and laughed around the house of mirrors.Therefore,they saw thousands of laughing dogs in the mirrors.They felt happy.In fact,all the faces in the world are mirrors.What kind of reflections you see in the faces of the people you meet depends on what expression they find in your face.Thus,to live in a wonderful place full of kindness and love,you have to be a kind person with love in your heart first.
