一、阅读理解
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)
A
At
24,
Tiffany
Calver
might
worry
she
has
already
peaked
(达到顶峰)
as
a
DJ.
She
began
DJing
as
a
hobby,
uploading
mixes
to
her
SoundCloud.
Her
high-energy
selections
soon
caught
the
ears
of
the
online
station
Radar
Radio
and
then
Drake’
s
management,
leading
her
to
land
many
firsts.
“I
just
want
to
express
myself,”
she
says.
“I’m
not
interested
in
copying
anyone
else’s
work;
I
have
to
be
me.
I
love
artists
such
as
Kojey
Radical
whose
lyrics
(歌词)
are
so
aware
of
human
experiences.
There
are
also
great
examples
set
by
artists
from
the
older
generation
like
Ghetts.
Ghetts
actually
cooperated
with
Kojey
on
Black
Rose,
which
is
all
about
colourism
—
prejudice
against
darker-skinned
women
—
a
huge
problem
in
the
black
community
(团体).”
“It’s
really
exciting
to
see
the
BBC
taking
notice
of
a
new
generation
of
tastemakers
in
our
community.
I
remember
a
time
when
there
was
no
place
for
younger
voices.
Snoochie
Shy
is
taking
on
the
1Xtra
rap
(说唱)
from
Monday
to
Thursday
and
Charlie
Sloth
is
being
replaced
by
two
women,
which
is
huge
for
one
of
the
biggest
radio
stations
in
the
country.
I
think
it’ll
have
a
big
effect
and
encourage
more
women
to
follow
suit.”
“It
was
great
to
hear
women
such
as
Rico
Nasty,
who
is
aggressive,
succeed
last
year
because,
even
as
a
DJ,
I
hate
it
when
people
tell
me
I
have
to
‘play
something
for
the
ladies’.
There’s
such
a
rich
history
of
unapologetic
women
in
hip-hop,
from
Lil’
Kim
to
Cardi
B
and
Nicki
Minaj.
Even
rappers
such
as
Noname,
who
might
not
have
as
much
of
an
aggressive
sound
but
can
talk
about
politics
in
the
same
song,
are
not
afraid
to
show
all
the
layers
there
are
to
being
a
woman.
It
isn’t
just
soft
and
feminine.”

are
a

station

dare
to
express
themselves

think

is
unbelievable.

It
is
a
heavy
blow
for
many
men.
C.
It
allows
women
to
change
jobs.
D.
She

positive
attitude
towards
it.
3.

Researchers
in
Singapore
found
that
eating
mushrooms
over
twice
per
week
could
help
prevent
memory
and
language
problems
later
in
life.
According
to
the
study,
published
in
the
Journal
of
Alzheimer’s
Disease,
there
is
a
unique
antioxidant
(抗氧化物质)
present
in
mushrooms
that
helps
protect
certain
brain
functions.
Researchers
observed
663
Chinese
adults
aged
over
60
whose
diets
and
lifestyles
were
tracked
from
2011
to
2017.
In
the
study,
the
participants
were
asked
how
often
they
ate
six
different
types
of
mushrooms:
oyster,
shiitake,
white
button,
dried,
golden
and
tinned.
The
findings
showed
that
eating
more
than
two
shares
of
mushrooms
per
week
somehow
lowered
the
chances
of
mild
cognitive
impairment
(MCi)
by
50%
against
those
who
ate
fewer
than
one
share.
MCI
is
a
condition
that
can
make
people
forgetful,
affect
their
memory
and
cause
problems
with
language,
attention
and
finding
the
exact
position
of
objects
in
space.
Changes
in
behavior
can
be
not
very
noticeable
and
not
serious
enough
to
be
known
as
dementia
(痴呆).
Participants
who
ate
more
mushrooms
were
found
to
perform
better
in
thinking
and
processing
exams
and
also
exhibited
a
faster
processing
speed.
The
advantage
was
reportedly
more
apparent
in
those
who
ate
more
than
two
shares
a
week
or
more
than
300
grams.
The
scientists
pointed
out,
however,
that
they
have
yet
to
put
up
a
direct
link
between
the
fungi
and
brain
function.
The
researchers
also
acknowledged
that
since
this
study
mainly
relied
on
self-reported
information
on
mushroom
intake
and
other
dietary
factors
(因素),
further
studies
may
be
required.
Still,
the
lead
study
author
Lei
Feng
is
encouraged
by
their
findings.
“This
correlation
is
surprising
and
encouraging,”
Lei
said.
Mushrooms
are
one
of
the
richest
dietary
sources
of
ergothioneine
—
a
matter
which
humans
can’t
make
on
our
own.
1.

are
the
findings
in
paragraph
3
about?
A.
Diets
and
lifestyles.
B.
The
percent
of
MCI.
C.
The
types
of
mushrooms.
D.

of

can
we
know
about
MCI?
A.
It
can
strengthen
memory.
B.
It
can
result
in
language
problems.
C.
It
can
make
people
get
lost.
D.
It
can
lessen
the
chance
of
forgetfulness.

may

However，a

checking
out
the
London
art
scene.
As

puts
it，London’s
art
is
a
lot
like
4.
city
itself—“diverse，vast，and
in
a
constant
state
of
flux.”
From
old
masters
to
street
art
and
everything
in

has
it
all.
In

and
galleries
were
the

in

last

The

celebrated
its

in
the

Not
all

much
of
the

constantly
rotates，so
you’ll
see
something
new
with

you’re
an

or
just
looking
for
a

time，you’re

Many
students
in
my
school
feel
annoying
that
they
are
under
great
pressure.
It
has
become
a
common
problem
in
most
high
school
in
China.
As
it
is
known
to
all，China
has
large
population.
Almost
10
million
students
graduate
from
high
school
every
year，expected
to
be
admitted
by
universities
or
college.
Instead，the
competition
among
the
students
is
fierce.
We
had
to
stand
out
and
prove
to
be
better
than
others，who
means
we
have
to
work
really
hard.
Of
course，some
students
can’t
bear
the
pressure
but
drop
behind
while
others
face
the
challenge
bravely.

三、语法填空
【语篇解读】　本文介绍了去伦敦旅游不仅要游玩著名的景点，更重要的是要欣赏伦敦的艺术景点，比如博物馆和画廊等。
1.
got/were
to
get　考查虚拟语气。根据主句中的would可知，该条件状语从句应是对现在或将来的虚拟。故填got/were
to
get。
2.
cultural　考查词性转换。修饰后面的名词sites应用形容词，故填cultural，意为“文化(上)的，和文化有关的”。
3.
without　考查介词。根据However可知，作者认为只参观前面提到的著名景点是不够的，所以此处应用一个表示否定的介词。故填without。
4.
the　考查冠词。根据本段最后一句中的“London
has
it
all”(伦敦有所有这样的特点)可知，此处是说伦敦的艺术和伦敦这座城市有很多相似之处，所以用表示特指的定冠词。故填the。
5.
visited　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处作定语修饰attractions，并且attractions和visit之间是被动关系，所以要用过去分词。故填visited。
6.
which　考查定语从句。此处是对非限制性定语从句引导词的考查，指代表示物的先行词The
British
Museum，且在定语从句中作主语。故填which。
7.
popularity　考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，此空是句子的主语，所以应用名词。故填popularity。
8.
them　考查代词。根据上下句联系可知，此处应用代词指代上一句的more
than
7
million
artifacts，介词of后面要用宾格。故填them。
9.
whether　考查连词。句意为：所以，无论你是艺术爱好者还是仅仅为了寻找乐趣，在伦敦你一定会发现灵感的。根据后面的or可知，该空应填引导让步状语从句的whether。
10.
to
find　考查非谓语动词。be
sure
to
do一定会做，为固定搭配。故填to
find。
