Almost
all
cultures
celebrate
the
end
of
one
year
and
the
beginning
of
another
in
some
way.
Different
cultures
celebrate
the
beginning
of
a
new
year
in
different
ways,
and
at
different
times
on
the
calendar.
In
Western
countries,
people
usually
celebrate
New
Year
at
midnight
on
December
31st
or
January
1st.
People
may
go
to
parties,
sometimes
dressed
in
formal
clothes,
and
they
may
drink
champagne(香槟)at
midnight.
During
the
first
minutes
of
the
new
year,
people
cheer
and
wish
each
other
happiness
for
the
year
ahead.
But
some
cultures
prefer
to
celebrate
the
new
year
by
waking
up
early
to
watch
the
sunrise.
They
welcome
the
new
year
with
the
first
light
of
the
sunrise.
Many
cultures
also
do
special
things
to
get
rid
of
bad
luck
at
the
beginning
of
a
new
year.
For
example,
in
Ecuador,
families
make
a
big
doll
from
old
clothes.
The
doll
is
filled
with
old
newspapers
and
firecrackers.
At
midnight,
these
dolls
are
burned
to
show
the
bad
things
from
the
past
year
are
gone
and
the
new
year
can
start
afresh(重新).
Other
common
traditions
to
keep
away
bad
luck
in
a
new
year
include
throwing
things
into
rivers
or
the
ocean,
or
saying
special
things
on
the
first
day
of
the
new
year.
Other
New
Year
traditions
are
followed
to
bring
good
luck
in
the
new
year.
One
widespread
Spanish
tradition
for
good
luck
is
to
eat
grapes
on
New
Year's
Day.
The
more
grapes
a
person
eats,
the
more
good
luck
the
person
will
have
in
the
new
year.
In
France,
people
eat
pancakes
for
good
luck
at
New
Year.
In
the
United
States,
some
people
eat
black-eyed
peas
for
good
luck—but
to
get
good
luck
for
a
whole
year
you
have
to
eat
365
of
them!

Ocean
food
plays
a
very
important
part
in
our
food
supply.
Not
so
long
ago,
the
world’s
oceans
were
filled
with
different
types
of
fish.
Now,
a
large
increase
in
global
overfishing
has
threatened
that
supply.
According
to
the
United
Nations
Food
and
Agriculture
Organization,
90
percent
of
the
world’s
fisheries
(渔场)
are
either
being
fully
exploited
(开发),
or
are
at
risk
of
being
closed
down.
With
fish
supplies
running
out
at
home,
fishermen
are
traveling
further
to
find
their
catch.
Frequently,
fishermen
are
crossing
over
into
other
countries.
As
fish
supplies
closer
to
their
homeland’s
shores
are
decreasing
fishermen
cross
borders
to
find
fish.
Overfishing
can
be
found
everywhere,
from
Mexican
fishing
boats
off
the
US
coast
of
Florida
to
Russian
fishing
boats
in
the
western
Bering
Sea.
However,
the
effect
is
felt
the
strongest
in
the
South
China
Sea.
On
the
other
side
of
the
world,
West
Africa
is
now
seeing
malign
effects
of
overfishing.
For
coastal
African
countries,
such
as
Senegal,
the
fishing
industry
is
a
large
part
of
the
national
economy.
The
World
Bank
reports
nearly
20
percent
of
the
Senegalese
are
working
in
the
fishing
industry.
Rashid
Sumaila
is
the
Director
of
Fisheries
Economic
Research
at
the
University
of
British
Columbia.
He
says
communities
that
depend
on
fish
for
income
and
food,
like
Senegal,
are
now
at
risk.
8.
Why
do
fishermen
cross
borders
to
catch
fish?
A.
Because
they
want
to
protect
the
environment.
B.
Because
they
want
to
enjoy
the
overseas
scenery.
C.
Because
fish
supplies
in
their
countries
are
decreasing.
D.
Because
fishing
is
not
allowed
in
their
own
countries.
9.
Where
can
the
most
serious
overfishing
be
seen
according
to
the
text?
A.
In
Russia.
B.
In
the
South
China
Sea.
C.
Off
the
US
coast
of
Florida.
D.
In
the
western
Bering
Sea.
10.
What
does
the
underlined
word
“malign”
in
the
last
paragraph
probably
mean?
A.
Harmful.
B.
Satisfying.
C.
Hopeful.
D.
Beneficial.
11.
What
can
be
inferred
from
the
last
paragraph?
A.
Most
people
in
Africa
will
be
out
of
work.
B.
The
World
Bank
will
lend
money
to
fishermen.
C.
Rashid
Sumaila
is
unconcerned
about
overfishing.
D.
Overfishing
has
some
bad
effects
on
African
people.

As
the
Forbidden
City
approaches
its
600th
anniversary
next
year,
a
great
change
has
been
taking
place,
with
dark
and
dusty
corners
of
the
palace
brought
back
to
their
former
glory
for
all
to
see.
As
recently
as
2012,
only
30
percent
of
the
vast
palace
was
open
to
the
public.
Now,
80
percent
is
accessible
―
quickly
filling
with
exhibition
spaces,
stylish
restaurants
and
cafes,
bookstores
and
highly
profitable
gift
stores,
as
well
as
quiet
walkways.
Besides,
great
walls
around
it
are
now
mostly
open,
allowing
an
overhead
view
of
the
grounds.
But
even
all
that
new
space
is
not
nearly
enough
to
showcase(陈列)
the
treasures
collected
over
the
centuries
by
emperors.
Now
the
Forbidden
City
can
display
only
about
30,000
objects
at
a
time,
or
2
percent
of
its
total.
By
2022,
a
new
campus
in
the
university
district
of
Haidian,
about
18
miles
to
the
northwest,
is
scheduled
to
open
to
the
public,
a
153-acre
area
that
will
have
room
to
show
imperial
carriages,
carpets
and
regalia
(礼服).
The
museum
staff
members
have
also
become
more
creative
in
using
the
space.
During
a
visit,
there
was
a
show
on
how
the
imperial
family
celebrated
the
Chinese
New
Year,
including
reproductions
of
New
Year’s
couplets
written
by
the
Emperor
Kang
Xi,
whose
six-decade
rule
ended
in
1722.
The
new
gift
stores
which
earned
$220
million
in
sales
in
2017,
have
also
lifted
their
offerings.
They
once
featured
little
more
than
key
chains
and
ugly
dolls;
now,
they
have
reproductions
of
porcelain
(瓷器),
textiles
(织物)
and
even
furniture.
Lisa
Tan,
a
38-year-old
editor
at
a
Beijing
publishing
house,
said
the
new
shops
were
attractive
because
they
offered
traditional
porcelain
made
by
government-recognized
masters
using
traditional
methods.
“It’s
good
that
the
Forbidden
City
is
taking
a
lead
in
keeping
these
traditional
practices
alive,”
Ms
Tan
said.
“The
gift
store
has
even
become
fashionable
in
some
circles.”
And
some
of
the
more
commercial
activities
are
being
limited,
including
photo
studios
where
people
can
dress
up
like
an
emperor
or
empress.
Most
visitors
are
still
part
of
package
tours
that
make
people
travel
quickly
through
the
central
part
of
the
palace.
But
taking
a
slower,
more
winding
path
through
the
Forbidden
City
is
a
better
way
to
soak
up
the
history
and
discover
some
of
its
secrets.

are

present
answers
in

C.
This
should
include
all
the
subjects.
D.
Can
anyone
study
well
while
others
around
are
watching
TV?
E.
A
good
note
shall
include
the
most
important

F.
This
will
be
of
great

fears
and
free
your

watch
the
sunrise.

light
of
the
sunrise.
Many
cultures
also
do
special
things
to
get
rid
of
bad
luck
at
the
beginning
of
a
new
year.
For
example,
in
Ecuador,
families
make
a
big
doll
from
old
clothes.
The
doll
is
filled
with
old
newspapers
and
firecrackers.
At
midnight,
these
dolls
are
burned
to
show
the
bad
things
from
the
past
year
are
gone
and
the
new
year
can
start
afresh(重新).
Other
common
traditions
to
keep
away
bad
luck
in
a
new
year
include
throwing
things
into
rivers
or
the
ocean,
or
saying
special
things
on
the
first
day
of
the
new
year.
Other
New
Year
traditions
are
followed
to
bring
good
luck
in
the
new
year.
One
widespread
Spanish
tradition
for
good
luck
is
to
eat
grapes
on
New
Year's
Day.
The
more
grapes
a
person
eats,
the
more
good
luck
the
person
will
have
in
the
new
year.
In
France,
people
eat
pancakes
for
good
luck
at
New
Year.
In
the
United
States,
some
people
eat
black-eyed
peas
for
good
luck—but
to
get
good
luck
for
a
whole
year
you
have
to
eat
365
of
them!

C
Ocean
food
plays
a
very
important
part
in
our
food
supply.
Not
so
long
ago,
the
world’s
oceans
were
filled
with
different
types
of
fish.
Now,
a
large
increase
in
global
overfishing
has
threatened
that
supply.
According
to
the
United
Nations
Food
and
Agriculture
Organization,
90
percent
of
the
world’s
fisheries
(渔场)
are
either
being
fully
exploited
(开发),
or
are
at
risk
of
being
closed
down.
With
fish
supplies
running
out
at
home,
fishermen
are
traveling
further
to
find
their
catch.
Frequently,
fishermen
are
crossing
over
into
other
countries.
As
fish
supplies
closer
to
their
homeland’s
shores
are
decreasing
fishermen
cross
borders
to
find
fish.
Overfishing
can
be
found
everywhere,
from
Mexican
fishing
boats
off
the
US
coast
of
Florida
to
Russian
fishing
boats
in
the
western
Bering
Sea.
However,
the
effect
is
felt
the
strongest
in
the
South
China
Sea.
On
the
other
side
of
the
world,
West
Africa
is
now
seeing
malign
effects
of
overfishing.
For
coastal
African
countries,
such
as
Senegal,
the
fishing
industry
is
a
large
part
of
the
national
economy.
The
World
Bank
reports
nearly
20
percent
of
the
Senegalese
are
working
in
the
fishing
industry.
Rashid
Sumaila
is
the
Director
of
Fisheries
Economic
Research
at
the
University
of
British
Columbia.
He
says
communities
that
depend
on
fish
for
income
and
food,
like
Senegal,
are
now
at
risk.
8.
Why
do
fishermen
cross
borders
to
catch
fish?
A.
Because
they
want
to
protect
the
environment.
B.
Because
they
want
to
enjoy
the
overseas
scenery.
C.
Because
fish
supplies
in
their
countries
are
decreasing.
D.
Because
fishing
is
not
allowed
in
their
own
countries.
9.
Where
can
the
most
serious
overfishing
be
seen
according
to
the
text?
A.
In
Russia.
B.
In
the
South
China
Sea.
C.
Off
the
US
coast
of
Florida.
D.
In
the
western
Bering
Sea.
10.
What
does
the
underlined
word
“malign”
in
the
last
paragraph
probably
mean?
A.
Harmful.
B.
Satisfying.
C.
Hopeful.
D.
Beneficial.
11.
What
can
be
inferred
from
the
last
paragraph?
A.
Most
people
in
Africa
will
be
out
of
work.
B.
The
World
Bank
will
lend
money
to
fishermen.
C.
Rashid
Sumaila
is
unconcerned
about
overfishing.
D.
Overfishing
has
some
bad
effects
on
African
people.

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍全球过度捕鱼带来的威胁。海洋食物在我们的食物供应中起着非常重要的作用。不久以前,世界上的海洋里充满了各种各样的鱼。现在,全球过度捕捞的大幅增加已经威胁到了这种供应。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中With
fish
supplies
running
out
at
home,
fishermen
are
traveling
further
to
find
their
catch.“由于国内的鱼类供应已经告罄,渔民们不得不前往更远的地方寻找他们的猎物。”由此可知,渔民之所以要跨越国界捕鱼,是因为因为他们国家的鱼类供应正在减少。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句However,
the
effect
is
felt
the
strongest
in
the
South
China
Sea.“然而,这种影响在南中国海最为强烈。”由此可知,在南海可以看到最严重的过度捕捞。故选B。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段中For
coastal
African
countries,
such
as
Senegal,
the
fishing
industry
is
a
large
part
of
the
national
economy.
“对于非洲沿海国家,例如塞内加尔,渔业是国民经济的一大部分。”和He
says
communities
that
depend
on
fish
for
income
and
food,
like
Senegal,
are
now
at
risk.“他说,像塞内加尔这样依靠鱼类收入和食物的社区现在面临危险。”由此可知,On
the
other
side
of
the
world,
West
Africa
is
now
seeing
malign
effects
of
overfishing.(在世界的另一边,西非正面临着过度捕捞的恶果。)所以划线词的意思是“有害的”。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中On

West
Africa
is

As
the
Forbidden
City
approaches
its
600th
anniversary
next
year,
a
great
change
has
been
taking
place,
with
dark
and
dusty
corners
of
the
palace
brought
back
to
their
former
glory
for
all
to
see.
As
recently
as
2012,
only
30
percent
of
the
vast
palace
was
open
to
the
public.
Now,
80
percent
is
accessible
―
quickly
filling
with
exhibition
spaces,
stylish
restaurants
and
cafes,
bookstores
and
highly
profitable
gift
stores,
as
well
as
quiet
walkways.
Besides,
great
walls
around
it
are
now
mostly
open,
allowing
an
overhead
view
of
the
grounds.
But
even
all
that
new
space
is
not
nearly
enough
to
showcase(陈列)
the
treasures
collected
over
the
centuries
by
emperors.
Now
the
Forbidden
City
can
display
only
about
30,000
objects
at
a
time,
or
2
percent
of
its
total.
By
2022,
a
new
campus
in
the
university
district
of
Haidian,
about
18
miles
to
the
northwest,
is
scheduled
to
open
to
the
public,
a
153-acre
area
that
will
have
room
to
show
imperial
carriages,
carpets
and
regalia
(礼服).
The
museum
staff
members
have
also
become
more
creative
in
using
the
space.
During
a
visit,
there
was
a
show
on
how
the
imperial
family
celebrated
the
Chinese
New
Year,
including
reproductions
of
New
Year’s
couplets
written
by
the
Emperor
Kang
Xi,
whose
six-decade
rule
ended
in
1722.
The
new
gift
stores,
which
earned
$220
million
in
sales
in
2017,
have
also
lifted
their
offerings.
They
once
featured
little
more
than
key
chains
and
ugly
dolls;
now,
they
have
reproductions
of
porcelain
(瓷器),
textiles
(织物)
and
even
furniture.
Lisa
Tan,
a
38-year-old
editor
at
a
Beijing
publishing
house,
said
the
new
shops
were
attractive
because
they
offered
traditional
porcelain
made
by
government-recognized
masters
using
traditional
methods.
“It’s
good
that
the
Forbidden
City
is
taking
a
lead
in
keeping
these
traditional
practices
alive,”
Ms
Tan
said.
“The
gift
store
has
even
become
fashionable
in
some
circles.”
And
some
of
the
more
commercial
activities
are
being
limited,
including
photo
studios
where
people
can
dress
up
like
an
emperor
or
empress.
Most
visitors
are
still
part
of
package
tours
that
make
people
travel
quickly
through
the
central
part
of
the
palace.
But
taking
a
slower,
more
winding
path
through
the
Forbidden
City
is
a
better
way
to
soak
up
the
history
and
discover
some
of
its
secrets.

students
study
well
but
still
may
be
much
afraid
of
exams
and
due
to
this
reason
they
get
upset
and
won't
be

to
be
confident
and
it
is
of
great
help
for
you
to
gain
success.
Prepare
a
good
timetable.
Prepare
a
timetable
before
starting
the
study.____17____Difficult
subjects
can
be
given
more
time
and

subjects
away
from
your
eyesight
so
that
you
won't
be
upset
about
all
the
things
you
have
to
learn.
Make
notes
while
studying.
This
is
a
very
important
point.
While
studying,
make
small
notes.
The
note
should
be
short
and
clear
to
make
the
review
easier.____19____Yet
don’t
try
to
cover
everything
in
it.
___20___
On
the
night
before
exam
you
have
to
sleep
well,

and
not
more
than
8

study
well
while
others
around
are
watching
TV?

good
note
shall

the
most
important
points.
F.
This
will
be
of
great
use
to
your
coming
exams.

all
your
fears
and
free
your
mind
before
starting
the

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文,如何为考试做准备?不劳无获,成功没有捷径,只有努力。同时作者给出了几条可行的建议。
【16题详解】
上文提示“一些学生学习很好,但仍然可能很害怕考试,由于这个原因,他们会感到沮丧,无法获得分数。”承接上文,G项So
leave
all
your
fears
and
free
your
mind
before
starting
the
study.(所以在开始学习之前,先放下所有的恐惧,释放你的思想。)切题。该项中的so与上文构成因果关系,故选G。
【17题详解】
上文提示“在开始学习前准备一个时间表。”承接上文,C项This
should
include
all
the
subjects.(这应该包括所有的科目。)切题。该项中的This指上文“时间表”,故选C。
【18题详解】
上文提示“学习氛围起着非常重要的作用。”再根据下文提示“所以选择一个你觉得舒服的地方。”承接上下文,D项Can
anyone
study
well
while
others
around
are
watching
TV?(当周围的人都在看电视的时候,还有人能好好学习吗?)故选D。
【19题详解】
上文提示“为了使审查更容易,说明应简明扼要。”
下文提示“但不要试图涵盖所有内容。”承接上下文,E项
A
good
note
shall
include
the
most
important
points.(一个好的注释应该包括最重要的要点。)切题。故选E。
【20题详解】

leave
all
your

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章以患有特殊疾病的男孩安格斯为例,讲述了在花园里工作可以改善身心健康。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:但对16岁的安格斯来说,在花园里工作不仅仅是一种爱好,它改变了他的生活。此处泛指“一种爱好”,hobby以辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a表泛指。故填a。
【42题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:安格斯有一种特殊的疾病,他的智商低于一个正常的男孩。结合不定冠词a可知,用单数名词illness作宾语。故填illness。
【43题详解】
考查比较级。句意:安格斯有一种特殊的疾病,他的智商低于一个正常的男孩。根据下文中比较级的标志than可知,用形容词low的比较级。故填lower。
【44题详解】
考查动名词。句意:现在,他花了几个小时在花园里种花、浇水和照料。spend
time
(in)
doing
sth.(花时间干某事),省略的介词in有两个宾语,即growing,watering和本空格,因此本空格也要用动名词形式。故填looking。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:“安格斯在花园里干活之前,上课很难集中注意力,有时他不想上学,”他的母亲金姆说。分析空格前后他母亲金姆的话,“以前安格斯很难集中精力上课,有时他不想去上学。现在他等不及上学了,每天都很开心。”可知,是安格斯在花园工作之前与现在对比,用before引导时间状语从句,首字母大写。故填Before。
【46题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:我们可以看到安格斯受到其他人的尊重,将来在花园中心愉快地工作。本句已有谓语can
see且无连词,动词respect用非谓语形式,逻辑主语Angus与动词respect是动宾关系,用过去分词表被动,做宾补。故填respected。
【47题详解】
考查连词。句意:研究表明,在花园里工作可以改善身心健康。mental和physics为并列关系,用并列连词and。故填and。
【48题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:甚至现在,一些医生建议像安格斯这样的年轻人在花园里工作。advise
sb.
to
do
sth.
(建议某人干某事)为固定用法,用动词不定式形式。故填to
work。
【49题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:近几年来,像安格斯这样有特殊需要的英国数百名儿童的生活因这种特殊教育而改变。child是可数名词,根据hundreds
of
+复数名词可知,用名词复数形式。故填children。
【50题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:近几年来,像安格斯这样有特殊需要的英国数百名儿童的生活因这种特殊教育而改变。根据时间状语in
the
recent
years可知,要用现在完成时,结合by可知,主语The
lives和谓语动词change是被动关系,用现在完成时的被动语态(has/have
been
done),主语The
lives复数,谓语也用复数形式。故填have
been
changed。

第八处:help→helping
第九处:a→an
第十处:故actual→actually
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇报道,介绍了学校将要举办一年一度的摄影比赛及其意义。
【详解】第一处:考查被动语态。句意:本周我们学校将举办一年一度的摄影比赛,其主题是“善行”。photography
competition与hold之间是被动关系,应该用被动语态,故hold改为held。
第二处:考查非限定性定语从句。句意同上。此处为非限定性定语从句,关系词指代先行词photography
competition并在从句中作定语,故who改为whose。
第三处:考查固定短语。句意:大多数学生对此项活动表现出极大的兴趣并积极参与。show
great
interest,表现出极大的兴趣,为固定短语,故去掉out。
第四处:考查代词。句意同上,此处指代上文的photography
competition,是单数意义,故them改为it。
第五处:考查被动语态。句意:所有通过微信平台展示的作品都获得了公众的高度赞扬。works与show之间是被动关系,应该用被动语态,have提示用现在完成时的被动语态。故shown前加been。
第六处:考查名词复数。句意:二十张优秀照片将被我校授予一等奖。twenty修饰可数名词复数,故photo改为photos。
第七处:考查much与many的区别。句意:这项活动为我们提供一个分享如此多善意的机会,并提高我们帮助需要帮助的人的意识。many修饰可数名词复数,此处修饰不可数名词kindness应该用much,故many改为much。
第八处:考查动名词。句意同上,介词of后接动名词作宾语,故help改为helping。
第九处:考查冠词。句意:当我们为别人做一件好事时,我们实际上也会得到快乐作为回报。act的发音以元音音素开头,应该用an修饰,故a改为an。
第十处:考查副词。句意同上。修饰动词getting用副词,故actual改为actually。
