C. was making D. is making

【名师点睛】判断时态可以从时间状语入手，题干中的in the last few years为现在完成时的时间标志词。类似的还有over/ for/ during the last/ past years/months…均为现在完成时的时间标志，所以做此类题时，需要先看句子中是否有明确的时间点，然后我再判断时态。

【点睛】解答此题，既需要正确区分非谓语和谓语的用法，又要对语态中的被动和主动有所了解，另外也要对hear 这个感官动词的用法有了解。其中的非谓语和谓语可以根据句子成分划分得出，而语态关键看主语是人还是物。当物作主语时需要用被动。

四、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30分）
A
Most of us still have lots of photographs sitting around from the days when we used cameras, not telephones, to take pictures. There are probably many photos that we do not look at and may never see again. But these images, representing memories from our past, do not have to be lost. Google has create a tool to help bring these forgotten pictures back to life in very high quality.
The PhotoScan app works the same as an image scanner. But this software program uses the camera on your phone to capture images as digital copies, which is a quick and easy way to save old photos without having to spend money on new equipment. The PhotoScan app uses new technology to improve the capturing process, which makes it possible to take a picture of a photo with a camera phone, without glare, a common problem.
After opening the app, the user first puts the desired photo within the camera’s frame. When this is done, four small circles appear in different places over the photo. The user then moves the phone over each of the circles, which change color after the process completes. That’s it! The app finds the edges of the photo, straightens the image, and puts it in the right position while removing glare. From this point, the pictures can easily be saved to the Google Photos app or somewhere else. If you do have Google Photos, images are organized by face or place and can easily be found.
The release of PhotoScan came at the same time as some changes to the Google Photos app. One change is an improved auto tool that Google says creates high-quality effects in just one step. Another tool lets users choose from 12 different looks to improve overall photo quality. The third provides high-level controls for changing light and colors.
Anil Sabharwal, the Vice President of Google Photos, explained why he created PhotoScan. In 1947, his parents lived under British colonial rule in India and were ordered to leave their home with only a few belongings. They decided to leave behind jewelry and other valuables, but gathered up as many photos as they could take.
36. What can we know about the PhotoScan app
A. It is new equipment used to scan images.
B. It can adjust the angle of cameras by moving four small circles.
C. Users can use it to take digital photos.
D. Using it to photograph pictures won’t have glare.
37. In the third paragraph, the author mentions ____________.
A. how to use the PhotoScan app B. where to find Google Photos.
C. what the benefits of the app are D. why the new app can benefit us
38. What is the advantage of Google Photo according to the passage
A. It provides various styles that users can select from to improve the apps
B. Users can easily find the desired picture through the photographing place.
C. The changed storage space is bigger than before.
D. It stores most pictures captured by PhotoScan.
39. What can we infer about Anil Sabharwal from the last paragraph
A. He got the idea for PhotoScan from his family’s experiences.
B. His parents helped him a lot while in India.
C. British colonial rule forced him to make PhotoScan.
D. His family’s poverty promotes him to create PhotoScan
40. The purpose of the passage is to__________.
A. persuade us to use the PhotoScan app.
B. tell us a new Google app brings old photographs back to life.
C. remind us of the pictures representing memories from our past.
D. offer some suggestions for Google to improve its new app.
【答案】36. D 37. A 38. B 39. A 40. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。谷歌创建了一个名为PhotoScan的工具，帮助将那些被遗忘的老照片以非常高的画质重现于世。文章介绍了这款应用程序的工作原理、使用方式以及创建原因。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The PhotoScan app uses new technology to improve the capturing process, which makes it possible to take a picture of a photo with a camera phone, without glare, a common problem.”可知PhotoScan应用程序采用了新的技术，改善了抓拍过程，使得用拍照手机拍出的照片不会出现眩光这一常见问题。由此可知，用PhotoScan拍照不会有眩光。故选D。
【37题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中“After opening the app, the user first puts the desired photo within the camera’s frame. When this is done, four small circles appear in different places over the photo. The user then moves the phone over each of the circles, which change color after the process completes. That’s it! The app finds the edges of the photo, straightens the image, and puts it in the right position while removing glare.”可知打开应用程序后，用户首先将所需的照片放入相机的框架内。当这完成后，四个小圆圈出现在照片的不同位置。然后用户将手机在每个圆圈上移动，过程完成后圆圈会改变颜色。就是这样！这款应用会找到照片的边缘，将图片拉直，并将其放在合适的位置，同时去除眩光。由此可知，作者在第三段中提到了如何使用PhotoScan应用程序。故选A。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“If you do have Google Photos, images are organized by face or place and can easily be found.”可知如果你确实有Google Photos，里面的照片是按脸部或拍摄地点组织的，可以很容易被找到。由此可知，Google Photos的优点是用户可以很容易地通过拍摄场所找到想要的照片。故选B。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Anil Sabharwal, the Vice President of Google Photos, explained why he created PhotoScan.

There exist cruel wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, so it’s not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us go through difficult times in out lives. Putting a smile on someone’s face when you know they are feeling depressed, as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart.
How would you feel if you could not joke around with wife, husband, child, co-worker, neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don’t know the person I’m joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is a common manner to speak to others that are around you.
I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their faces. They don’t get the joke that makes others laugh. I am, busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke
Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor, we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness and bring a little light into our lives.
Therefore, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.

When I graduated from high school, I wanted to major in comparative literature. But, once I found out my friends were going into “real” majors, like marketing, nursing, and engineering, I figured I needed to do the same to ensure a good career. So I changed my mind and chose Business Management as my major. I forced myself to believe that I would enjoy it and succeed in the future, but eventually I exhausted myself understanding the economy and trying new marketing ing out of this experience, I realize it is ok to be different from others and to study things like classcs, art history and other majors offered in the College of Humanities（人文学科）!
The worries most people have about a Humanitie degree and finding a career afterwards are that the majors are too abstract, and one will not obtain any applicable skills. Actually ideas discussed in Humanities classes, which are occasionally different from what people commonly believe, offer a broad perspective（视角）. How could one effectively be an unbiased（无偏见的）writer with only a knowledge of the popular opinion of society How could one speak persuasively ith closed minds Only seeing the world through a single perspective leads to missed learning, missed friendships, and missed growth! With a broader perspective, we wl be more free, more open-minded, and less limited in what we can become!
STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) graduates learn actual skills in their studie, while humanities majors learn “soft skills” like communicating effectively through writing critically and speaking persuasively, synthesizing（综合）ideas through gathering and interpreting information, and developing cultural awareness. Do those soft skills sound useless and inapplicable to you Think of it. How often do you communicate with others Produce ideas Encounter people from other cultures Every day. Every SECOND of every day. So why not master these skills
If you choose a major in the College of Humanities, you will be needed. The job market is quietly creating thousands of openings a week for people who can bring a humanist’s grace to our rapidly evolving high-tech future. Your skills will be valuable to any workplace you hope to be in. Chase after your dream major with all your energy, no matter what other people think.
46. Why did the author choose Business Management as his major at first
A. He was tired of learning comparative literature.
B. He came to enjoy learning marketing techniques.
C. He wanted to go to the same university as his friends.
D. He believed Business Management was more practical.
47. According to the author, what is a possible way to gain a broad perspective
A. Making more friends and learning from them.
B. Exchanging ideas in a philosophy seminar.
C. Opening your mind to future possibilities.
D. Getting to know the popular opinion of society.
48. In which of the following situations do soft skills play the most important role
A. Writing a software program.
B. Performing a heart operation.
C. Playing a musical instrument.
D. Negotiating with a business partner.
49. The author believes the job market for Humanities graduates is .

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了跑步的好处，它可以帮助人们减少疾病发生，延年益寿。
【51题详解】
考查副词的比较级。医学报告显示：经常跑步的人比不跑步的人多活3年。根据than可知用比较级，故填longer。
【52题详解】
考查不定式作目的状语。你不必跑的太快或时间太长就能看到它的好处。此处不定式作目的状语，故填to see。
【53题详解】
考查动名词。你也许喝酒、吸烟或超重，但仍然通过跑步会减少早亡的风险。此处of是介词，其后用动名词。故填dying。
【54题详解】
考查动词的时态。医学报告显示：跑步比散步、骑车和游泳更能有效地延长寿命。这里叙述的是一个事实，故用一般现在时。故填is。
【55题详解】
考查比较句型。跑步比散步、骑车和游泳更能有效地延长寿命。根据文章中的more effective可知，此处填than。
【56题详解】

【58题详解】
考查词形变化。锻炼以增强你腿上的肌肉。此处to是不定式符号，其后用动词原形。故填strengthen。
【59题详解】

六、阅读表达（本大题共5小题，共10分）
阅读表达
Do you jump out of bed early, wide awake and ready to start your day If so, you would be considered an “early bird”. Perhaps, though, you fear the sound of your alarm clock each morning and have little energy until the afternoon. If that is the case, you are probably a “night owl”. Most of us fall into one of these two categories but what makes us this way And is one better than the other Different people hold different opinions.
Traditionally, early risers have been praised as hard-working and productive. On the other hand, those who prefer to sleep in and get up late are considered lazy and nonproductive. This stereotype dates back to early times when most people farmed, worked and slept according to the sun. But even in the 21st century, most people still believe the early bird catches the worm. This famous expression supports the idea that early risers have an advantage over late risers. Yet, some scientists now believe that “night owls” can actually focus longer and produce more than early risers. Research has found that early bird doesn't always get the worm. In a Belgian study, both “morning people” and “evening people” were observed during their normal asleep and awake routines.
After 10 hours of being awake, the “evening people” became more active and energetic. However, the “morning people” became sleepy and less focused. Researchers believe the reason for this difference is that night owls receive a last-minute increase of energy from their brains. This added energy allows night owls to stay sharp and productive for longer periods of time, usually until bedtime. What determines our body's preference
Environment, lifestyle, activities and childhood routines are all factors, yet, genes may play the biggest role. In 2007, scientists reported discovering something they called the “after-hour” gene. People with this gene had a natural ability to stay active and late into the night. It is possible to change your sleeping patterns but if you are happy rising early or staying up late, you're probably doing what works best for your own personal body clock.
61. What does the underlined phrase refer to (No more than 2 words)
62. Why do most people still value the early risers in the 21st century ( No more than 10 words)
63. What kind of people are more likely to get absent-minded during the day (No more than 2 words)
64. Why are some people able to stay active late into the night according to the scientists (No more than 15 words)
65. Do you think it necessary to change our sleeping patterns Why (No more than 25 words)
【答案】61. Late risers.
62. Because they believe that early risers are hard-working and productive.
63. Early risers.
64. Because they have something called the "after-hour" gene.
65. Yes I want to be an early riser. Because I have much work to do during the day.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章对比早起的人和晚起的人在白天的专注力不同，证明晚起的人白天更积极，文章还分析了其原因。
【61题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据第一段中“Do you jump out of bed early, wide awake and ready to start your day If so, you would be considered an “early bird”. Perhaps, though, you fear the sound of your alarm clock each morning and have little energy until the afternoon. (你是否很早就起床，完全清醒，准备开始新的一天？如果是这样，你会被认为是“早起的人”。不过，也许你每天早上都害怕闹钟的声音，直到下午才有精力)”和“If that is the case, you are probably a “night owl”.(如果是这样的话，你可能是一个“night owl”)”可知，起床很早被称为“早起的人”，though表示“然而”，表转折，说明如果你每天早上都害怕闹钟的声音，直到下午都没有精力，那么你可能是一个起床迟的人，画线词指的是“起床迟的人”。故答案为Late risers.
【62题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段中“Traditionally, early risers have been praised as hard-working and productive. On the other hand, those who prefer to sleep in and get up late are considered lazy and nonproductive. This stereotype dates back to early times when most people farmed, worked and slept according to the sun. But even in the 21st century, most people still believe the early bird catches the worm. (传统上，早起的人被认为是勤奋和多产的人。另一方面，那些喜欢晚睡晚起的人会被认为懒惰且效率低下。这种刻板印象可以追溯到早期，那时大多数人根据太阳耕种、工作和睡觉。但是即使在21世纪，大多数人仍然相信早起的鸟儿有虫吃)”可知，21世纪的人仍然重视早起，因为他们相信早起的人是勤奋的，多产的。故答案为Because they believe that early risers are hard-working and productive.
【63题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段中“However, the “morning people” became sleepy and less focused. (然而，“早起的人”会变得昏昏欲睡，注意力不那么集中)”可知，早起的人白天可能会走神。故答案为Early risers.
【64题详解】
考查细节理解。根据最后一段中“In 2007, scientists reported discovering something they called the “after-hour” gene. People with this gene had a natural ability to stay active and late into the night. (2007年，科学家报告发现了一种他们称之为“下班后”基因的东西。拥有这种基因的人有一种天生的能力，能够保持活跃，直到深夜)”可知，一些人在很晚也能够保持积极主要是因为他们有一种叫做“下班后”基因的东西。故答案为Because they have something called the “after-hour” gene.
【65题详解】
本题为开放性题目，言之有理即可。题干：你认为有必要改变我们的睡眠模式吗？为什么？可回答：是的，我想成为一个早起的人。因为我在白天有很多工作要做。故答案为Yes, I want to be an early riser. Because I have much work to do during the day.

四、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30分）
A
Most of us still have lots of photographs sitting around from the days when we used cameras, not telephones, to take pictures. There are probably many photos that we do not look at and may never see again. But these images, representing memories from our past, do not have to be lost. Google has create a tool to help bring these forgotten pictures back to life in very high quality.
The PhotoScan app works the same as an image scanner. But this software program uses the camera on your phone to capture images as digital copies, which is a quick and easy way to save old photos without having to spend money on new equipment. The PhotoScan app uses new technology to improve the capturing process, which makes it possible to take a picture of a photo with a camera phone, without glare, a common problem.
After opening the app, the user first puts the desired photo within the camera’s frame. When this is done, four small circles appear in different places over the photo. The user then moves the phone over each of the circles, which change color after the process completes. That’s it! The app finds the edges of the photo, straightens the image, and puts it in the right position while removing glare. From this point, the pictures can easily be saved to the Google Photos app or somewhere else. If you do have Google Photos, images are organized by face or place and can easily be found.
The release of PhotoScan came at the same time as some changes to the Google Photos app. One change is an improved auto tool that Google says creates high-quality effects in just one step. Another tool lets users choose from 12 different looks to improve overall photo quality. The third provides high-level controls for changing light and colors.

In 1947, his parents lived under British colonial rule in India and were ordered to leave their home with only a few belongings. They decided to leave behind jewelry and other valuables, but gathered up as many photos as they could take.

There exist cruel wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, so it’s not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us go through difficult times in out lives. Putting a smile on someone’s face when you know they are feeling depressed, as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart.
How would you feel if you could not joke around with wife, husband, child, co-worker, neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don’t know the person I’m joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is a common manner to speak to others that are around you.
I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their faces. They don’t get the joke that makes others laugh. I am, busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke
Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor, we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness and bring a little light into our lives.
Therefore, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.

When I graduated from high school, I wanted to major in comparative literature. But, once I found out my friends were going into “real” majors, like marketing, nursing, and engineering, I figured I needed to do the same to ensure a good career. So I changed my mind and chose Business Management as my major. I forced myself to believe that I would enjoy it and succeed in the future, but eventually I exhausted myself understanding the economy and trying new marketing ing out of this experience, I realize it is ok to be different from others and to study things like classcs, art history and other majors offered in the College of Humanities（人文学科）!
The worries most people have about a Humanitie degree and finding a career afterwards are that the majors are too abstract, and one will not obtain any applicable skills. Actually ideas discussed in Humanities classes, which are occasionally different from what people commonly believe, offer a broad perspective（视角）. How could one effectively be an unbiased（无偏见的）writer with only a knowledge of the popular opinion of society How could one speak persuasively ith closed minds Only seeing the world through a single perspective leads to missed learning, missed friendships, and missed growth! With a broader perspective, we wl be more free, more open-minded, and less limited in what we can become!
STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) graduates learn actual skills in their studie, while humanities majors learn “soft skills” like communicating effectively through writing critically and speaking persuasively, synthesizing（综合）ideas through gathering and interpreting information, and developing cultural awareness. Do those soft skills sound useless and inapplicable to you Think of it. How often do you communicate with others Produce ideas Encounter people from other cultures Every day. Every SECOND of every day. So why not master these skills
If you choose a major in the College of Humanities, you will be needed. The job market is quietly creating thousands of openings a week for people who can bring a humanist’s grace to our rapidly evolving high-tech future. Your skills will be valuable to any workplace you hope to be in. Chase after your dream major with all your energy, no matter what other people think.

Do you jump out of bed early wide awake and ready to start your day If so, you would be considered an “early bird”. Perhaps, though, you fear the sound of your alarm clock each morning and have little energy until the afternoon. If that is the case, you are probably a “night owl”. Most of us fall into one of these two categories but what makes us this way And is one better than the other Different people hold different opinions.
Traditionally, early risers have been praised as hard-working and productive. On the other hand, those who prefer to sleep in and get up late are considered lazy and nonproductive. This stereotype dates back to early times when most people farmed, worked and slept according to the sun. But even in the 21st century, most people still believe the early bird catches the worm. This famous expression supports the idea that early risers have an advantage over late risers. Yet, some scientists now believe that “night owls” can actually focus longer and produce more than early risers. Research has found that early bird doesn't always get the worm. In a Belgian study, both “morning people” and “evening people” were observed during their normal asleep and awake routines.
After 10 hours of being awake, the “evening people” became more active and energetic. However, the “morning people” became sleepy and less focused. Researchers believe the reason for this difference is that night owls receive a last-minute increase of energy from their brains. This added energy allows night owls to stay sharp and productive for longer periods of time, usually until bedtime. What determines our body's preference
Environment, lifestyle, activities and childhood routines are all factors, yet, genes may play the biggest role. In 2007, scientists reported discovering something they called the “after-hour” gene. People with this gene had a natural ability to stay active and late into the night. It is possible to change your sleeping patterns but if you are happy rising early or staying up late, you're probably doing what works best for your own personal body clock.
