Epcot
Epcot is divided into two sections: World Showcase and Future World. Future World is all about futuristic rides and high-tech attractions like Test Track and Turtle Talk with Crush. World Showcase, which lies along a lake, shows international styles from different parts of the globe, including Germany, Canada, Mexico, China and a lot more.

(这四个主题公园的单日门票为成人67美元，三岁以上儿童56美元)”可知，Disney World 有四个主题公园。这四个主题公园的门票，成人每人67美元，三岁以上儿童一天56美元。根据题干中 parents bring you and your 2-year-old little brother 可知，父母两个成人（$67/人），一个青少年（$56/人），一个小于三岁的幼童（免票），由此可算出总票价为：$190。故选A项。

B
It was the toughest months after my husband Larry had returned from the navy. The only job available for him was in a city 6.5 hours away from where we lived. My illness made it impossible for me to stay with Larry in that city. So there we were, delaying our departure(离开) by passing time in a secondhand bookstore before the girls and I headed back to southwest Virginia. This was a precious time for us.
We joked as we continued our treasure hunt, all hoping to find the oldest, least expensive book. There was lots of laughter and hugging and kissing as we enjoyed each other’s company.
Only one other person was in the bookstore——a lovely, well-dressed woman about my age. I noticed her expensive clothes, shoes, and handbag. I wondered what it would be like to be rich enough to walk into a bookstore and have the money to buy any book my heart wanted. We were having so much fun, however, that I quickly forgot the woman.
Finally, I spied my perfect book! It was a hundred years old, and it was on my favorite time period——the Middle Ages. Oh, how I wanted that book! I quickly checked the inside cover for the price, and my heart fell.
“Oh, I wish I were rich,” I murmured(低语), as my eyes locked with the woman’s.
“It looks to me as though you already are” she said, with a smile.
There was a long pause, and then my heart was filled with comprehension. I was rich. Very rich. I turned quickly to thank the woman for her gentle reminder, but she was gone!
Strangely enough, within days my husband received a job offer in southwest Virginia. In less than two weeks, he was hired, and we moved to the place that is now our home.
Thank for the angel. It was she that gave me God’s rich message of love and encouragement when I was at a loss.
4. What made the writer’s family separate soon
A. Larry received a job offer.
B. Larry retired from the Navy.
C. Their daughters needed to go to school.
D. The writer suffered from an illness.
5. What does the author feel the first time she saw the well-dressed woman
A. Curious B. Uncaring
C. Surprised D. Happy
6. Why did the author feel unhappy when finding her perfect book
A. It was bought by the rich lady.
B. It was a hundred years old.
C. It was expensive for her.
D. It was in poor condition.
7. Which of the following can be the best title
A. A temporary separation
B. The love and encouragement from an angel
C. Some kindness of miracle
D. The force was with me
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是作者因为一本昂贵的书而感叹说希望自己很富有，一位陌生女士的话给了作者鼓励。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“My illness made it impossible for me to stay with Larry in that city.（我的病使我无法在那个城市和拉里呆在一起。）”可知作者患有严重的疾病，不能和Larry一起在城市里生活，一家人即将要分别。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“I noticed her expensive clothes, shoes, and handbag. I wondered what it would be like to be rich enough to walk into a bookstore and have the money to buy any book my heart wanted.（我注意到她昂贵的衣服、鞋子和手提包。我想知道，如果我足够富有，走进一家书店，有足够的钱去买任何我想要的书，那会是什么 样子。）”可知这里意思是，作者想知道如果足够有钱进入一家书店去买自己心仪的书是什么样子的，所以是感到好奇。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“I quickly checked the inside cover for the price, and my heart fell.（我很快地翻了翻里面的封面，看里面的价格，我的心一下子沉了下去。）”和第五段的 “Oh, I wish I were rich,” I murmured(低语), as my eyes locked with the woman’s.（“哦，我想我有钱就好了，”我低声说，我注视着这个女人的。）”可知作者是因为没钱买书感到不开心。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“Thank for the angel. It was she that gave me God’s rich message of love and encouragement when I was at a loss.（感谢天使。是她在我迷茫的时候给了我上帝丰富的爱和鼓励。）”可知整篇文章的主旨是爱和鼓励，主要讲的是一位陌生女士的话给了作者鼓励，因此最好的题目是B选项The love and encouragement from an angel（来自天使的爱和鼓励），故选B。
C
Have you ever looked at a fashionable item of clothing and felt confused If so, your confusion may have made sense.
Several months ago, high fashion brand Balenciaga released a “T-shirt shirt”, which is a shirt sewn on the front of a T-shirt. The unusual design has certainly confused a lot of people.
But the “double shirt” isn’t fighting alone on the frontier of strange fashion. Ever since US shoe manufacturer Crocs released its famous hole-filled foam shoes, the so-called “ugly fashion” hasn’t showed any signs of slowing down, the Business of Fashion website noted.
British designer Paul Surridge believes that the rise of ugly fashion is a sign that people are bored with looking perfect all the time. “Fashion thrives(蓬勃发展) on novelty”, he told the Financial Times.
Indeed, fashion is all about changes. Something that’s considered uncool one minute can then turn out to be the latest must-have fashion item the next.
And in the eyes of US fashion writer Megan Collins, ugly doesn’t necessarily mean the design of the item is ugly. After all, ugly is something subjective. “Ugly fashion means ‘not the mainstream’——it is not what everyone’s wearing; it is not what the general population considers as ‘in’ right now,” she told style news site Fashionista.
But throughout the history of fashion, when any new trend appears, most people tend to hate it, before it eventually becomes loved. As Italian designer Miuccia Prada told The New York Times, “Maybe because it is newer, ugly is attractive. Ugly is exciting.”
Meanwhile, popular social media fashion bloggers also help people to pick up new ugly fashion trends. These bloggers express themselves through their clothes, showing their unique personalities and making comments on their clothing choices. However, as Clever-ish Magazine noted, just being comfortable in your own skin could actually be “the best look”.
“I personally love having a unique expression because without ugly fashion and diversity, we’d all look the same,” Australian fashion influencer(网红) and model Zanita Whittington told Fashionista. “I appreciate anything that’s out of the norm(规范).”
8. How does the author lead to the topic of the passage
A. By telling a funny story.
B. By asking and answering questions.
C. By asking questions and giving examples.
D. By giving different comments from different people.
9. The underlined word “in” in the paragraph 6 could be replaced by ________.
A. ugly B. fashionable
C. affordable D. expensive
10. What will some social media fashion bloggers do to show their personalities
A. They will dress themselves to look perfect.
B. They will try some new and exciting clothes.
C. They will make comments on others’ clothes choices.
D. They will express themselves by wearing ugly clothes.
11. What can we infer from Zanita Whittington’s words
A. She is fond of ugly fashion trends.
B. She doesn’t care about fashion at all.
C. She hopes to be the same as others.
D. She wants to look ugly as a model.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章谈论了对于“丑时尚”看法。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Have you ever looked at a fashionable item of clothing and felt confused (你是否曾经看着一件时髦的衣服而感到困惑？)”以及第二段“Several months ago, high fashion brand Balenciaga released a ‘T-shirt shirt’, which is a shirt sewn on the front of a T-shirt. The unusual design has certainly confused a lot of people.(几个月前，高端时尚品牌Balenciaga发布了一款“T恤衫”，即缝在T恤正面的衬衫。这种不同寻常的设计肯定让很多人感到困惑。)”可知，本文是通过提问和举例引出文章主题的。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句前文“Ugly fashion means ‘not the mainstream’——it is not what everyone’s wearing; (丑时尚意味着‘不是主流’——它不是每个人都穿的；)”说明Ugly fashion（丑时尚）不是流行的，从而推知划线词句“it is not what the general population considers as ‘in’ right now (也不是现在普通人所认为的‘in’。)”其中‘in’应为“流行的”意思，选项B“时尚的”与之意义最为接近。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Meanwhile, popular social media fashion bloggers also help people to pick up new ugly fashion trends. These bloggers express themselves through their clothes, showing their unique personalities and making comments on their clothing choices.(与此同时，流行的社交媒体时尚博主也帮助人们了解新的丑时尚趋势。这些博主通过他们的服装表达自己，展示他们独特的个性，并对他们的服装选择发表评论。)”可知，这些博主穿一些丑衣服来表达自己的个性。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Zanita Whittington所说“I personally love having a unique expression because without ugly fashion and diversity, we’d all look the same, (我个人喜欢独特的表达方式，因为如果没有丑陋的时尚和多样性，我们看起来都一样，)”以及“I appreciate anything that’s out of the norm (我欣赏任何不寻常的事情。)”可以推知，她喜欢丑陋的时尚潮流。故选A项。
D

细节理解题。根据第一段中The incident has attracted wide attention after a video of a woman sitting on top of a Mercedes-Benz while weeping and arguing with salesmen went viral online.（一名女子坐在一辆梅塞德斯-奔驰(Mercedes-Benz)汽车上哭泣并与销售人员争吵的视频在网上疯传后，这一事件引起了广泛关注。）可知，这起事件引发了广泛关注。故选B。

【点睛】细节理解题解题方法
细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的题。但高考所占的比例大，应特别引起注意。事实和细节题的命题特点是：对文章或某一段落中的一些特定细节或文章重要事实的理解，一般包括直接理解题和语义转化题。直接理解题能在原文直接找到答案，而语义转化题则需要将题目信息与原文信息加工或整理后才能得出结论。
做细节理解题具体方法与步骤如下：
1.略读材料，大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨。经常有新技术对将来人们工作和生活不良影响的预测，但事实证明结果并不是那样，我们有必要否定预测，以减少人们的恐惧。
2.按文章的体裁，作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词。如for example, first, second…等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实。
3.将精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上。快速通篇跳读，全文扫视，找到细节出处，待找到含细节句子时，放慢速度，仔细核对比较内容，直至找到答案。
如第一小题，根据第一段中The incident has attracted wide attention after a video of a woman sitting on top of a Mercedes-Benz while weeping and arguing with salesmen went viral online.（一名女子坐在一辆梅塞德斯-奔驰(Mercedes-Benz)汽车上哭泣并与销售人员争吵的视频在网上疯传后，这一事件引起了广泛关注。）可知，这起事件引发了广泛关注。故选B。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了巴黎圣母院大火之后的感想。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：周一晚上巴黎圣母院的大火是一种盲目和可怕的破坏行为，给我们所有人带来了巨大的情感痛苦。此处应填入介词，构成介宾短语，做句子的时间状语。Monday evening 指具体的周一晚上；具体的某一天用介词 on。故填on。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：周一晚上巴黎圣母院的大火是一种盲目和可怕的破坏行为，给我们所有人带来了巨大的情感痛苦。分析句子，主系表结构完整，主语为 The fire of Notre Dame，系动词为 be 动词 was，表语为 destruction，所以设空处应填动词 cause 的非谓语形式，在句中作结构状语。因为句子主语 The fire of Notre Dame 与 cause 之间为主动关系，所以应填现在分词形式。故填causing。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：火势迅速而不受控制。设空处应填副词与其后的副词 uncontrollably 并列，修饰动词struck，quick 的副词形式为 quickly。故填quickly。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意：大约一个小时后，巴黎消防队员能够在一定程度上控制部分火势，并保护建筑物其他可能幸存的部分。空后名词hour为可数名词，此处表达“一个小时”，应填不定冠词，hour以元音开头应使用an。故填an。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：大约一个小时后，巴黎消防队员能够在一定程度上控制部分火势，并保护建筑物其他可能幸存的部分。be able to do 为固定短语，表示“能够做…”。所以此空应填入 get 的不定式。故填to get。
【46题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：大约一个小时后，巴黎消防队员能够在一定程度上控制部分火势，并保护建筑物其他可能幸存的部分。other 形容词，泛指“其他的”，其后只能接复数名词。所以此处应填 part 的复数形式 parts。故填parts。
【47题详解】
考查谓语动词时态。句意：夜幕降临，雄伟的西塔依然屹立在天空中，骄傲却又受伤。分析句子结构，可知 as 引导时间状语从句，从句的主语为 night。由设空处的前一句中的 were 可知，火灾这一系列事情发生在过去，故此处应用 fall 的过去式 fell。故填fell。
【48题详解】
考查名词。句意：它之所以闻名世界，不仅仅是因为它是一座巴黎的建筑，还因为维克多·雨果的作品，他在小说《巴黎圣母院的钟楼怪人》中生动地描述了这座建筑。分析句子，该空需要一个名词作介词through的宾语，众所周知，《巴黎圣母院》是雨果的著作，所以此处应填入 write 的名词形式 writing。故填writing。
【49题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意：它之所以闻名世界，不仅仅是因为它是一座巴黎的建筑，还因为维克多·雨果的作品，他在小说《巴黎圣母院的钟楼怪人》中生动地描述了这座建筑。主句部分主系表成分完整，主语为 It，系动词为 has been，表语为 in its place；该空需要一个关系代词，引导非限制性定语从句，补充说明先行词，从句先行词为 Victor Hugo，先行词为人时，使用引导词 who。故填who。
【50题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：这场可怕的火灾不是应该被遗忘或迅速忽视的事件。分析句子结构可知，本句为 that 引导的定语从句修饰名词event，that 指代先行词event在从句中作主语，先行词 an event 与 forget之间为被动关系，故应使用 forget的被动语态，结构为：be + forgotten；本句中 should 为情态动词，其后应接动词原形，故被动语态中 be 动词需使用其原形 be。故填be forgotten。
第三节 单词填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
51. We complained to the travel agency about the terrible service during our trip, but no one ________ (回应) so far.（根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】has responded
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。句意：我们在旅行中向旅行社投诉了糟糕的服务，但到目前为止还没有人回应。根据汉语提示可知，respond回应，动词作谓语，符合题意；由时间状语so far可知，空处谓语动词需用现在完成时态，不定代词no one作主语，所以此处助动词需用has。故填has responded。
52. Spending too much time on computer games may do h________ to our health.（根据首字母单词拼写）
【答案】harm##arm
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：花太多时间玩电脑游戏可能对我们的健康有害。根据单词首字母和句意“伤害”以及前文动词do可知，此处应用不可数名词harm作宾语，do harm to是固定短语。故填harm。
53. The price of petrol has a________ (急剧的) increase in price. (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】sharp
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：汽油价格急剧上涨。根据汉语提示可知，sharp急剧的，形容词作定语修饰名词increase，符合题意。故填sharp。
54. It doesn’t s________ her to have her hair cut short. （根据首字母单词拼写）
【答案】suit##uit
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。句意：把头发剪短不适合她。根据空前doesn't可知，该空需要一个动词原形作谓语；说剪短发型不适合她，结合首字母可知，动词suit符合题意。故填suit。
55. The tourism of Lijiang has seen a rapid growth over the last two ________ (十年). (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】decades
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：在过去的二十年里，丽江的旅游业发展迅速。根据汉语提示可知，decade十年，名词，符合题意；由空前基数词two可知，空处名词需用复数。故填decades。

【答案】escape##scape
【解析】
【详解】考查动词。句意：汤姆打破了窗户，但他很幸运地逃脱了惩罚。根据单词首字母和句意“逃脱”及前文不定式符号to可知，此处应用动词原形escape构成不定式，用于形容词后作状语。故填escape。

【答案】flexible
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：我们的计划必须足够灵活，以满足每个人的需要。表示“可变通的”用flexible，在be动词后作表语。故填flexible。
58. It o________ to me that I should finish my homework when I was about to go to sleep. （根据首字母单词拼写）
【答案】occurred##ccurred
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和固定短语。句意：当我正要睡觉时，我突然想到我应该完成我的家庭作业。“I should finish my homework”是我在正要睡觉时突然想到的，因此句中用固定短语it occurs/occurred to sb. that...，意为“某人突然想到”，根据后面的was可知，句子时态是一般过去时，因此空格处用过去式occurred，故填occurred。
59. He gave up the struggle in________ (绝望). (根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】despair
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：他绝望地放弃了斗争。根据汉语提示和空前介词in可知，despair绝望，作介词in的宾语，in despair绝望地，介词短语作状语，符合题意。故填despair。

【答案】majority##ajority
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：18岁时，她没有像大多数女孩一样遵循传统的婚姻道路，而是选择了医学。由“the traditional path of marriage”可知，句子表示“她没有像大多数女孩一样遵循传统的婚姻道路”，空格处是“大多数”，由首字母提示m可知，是majority，the majority of意为 “大多数的”，因此空格处是majority，故填majority。

It was the toughest months after my husband Larry had returned from the navy. The only job available for him was in a city 6.5 hours away from where we lived. My illness made it impossible for me to stay with Larry in that city. So there we were, delaying our departure(离开) by passing time in a secondhand bookstore before the girls and I headed back to southwest Virginia. This was a precious time for us.
We joked as we continued our treasure hunt, all hoping to find the oldest, least expensive book. There was lots of laughter and hugging and kissing as we enjoyed each other’s company.
Only one other person was in the bookstore——a lovely, well-dressed woman about my age. I noticed her expensive clothes, shoes, and handbag. I wondered what it would be like to be rich enough to walk into a bookstore and have the money to buy any book my heart wanted. We were having so much fun, however, that I quickly forgot the woman.
Finally, I spied my perfect book! It was a hundred years old, and it was on my favorite time period——the Middle Ages. Oh, how I wanted that book! I quickly checked the inside cover for the price, and my heart fell.
“Oh, I wish I were rich,” I murmured(低语), as my eyes locked with the woman’s.
“It looks to me as though you already are,” she said, with a smile.
There was a long pause, and then my heart was filled with comprehension. I was rich. Very rich. I turned quickly to thank the woman for her gentle reminder, but she was gone!
Strangely enough, within days my husband received a job offer in southwest Virginia. In less than two weeks, he was hired, and we moved to the place that is now our home.
Thank for the angel It was she that gave me God’s rich message of love and encouragement when I was at a loss.
4. What made the writer’s family separate soon
A. Larry received a job offer.
B. Larry retired from the Navy.
C. Their daughters needed to go to school.
D. The writer suffered from an illness.
5. What does the author feel the first time she saw the well-dressed woman
A. Curious B. Uncaring
C. Surprised D. Happy
6. Why did the author feel unhappy when finding her perfect book
A. It was bought by the rich lady.
B. It was a hundred years old.
C. It was expensive for her.
D. It was in poor condition.

Have you ever looked at a fashionable item of clothing and felt confused If so, your confusion may have made sense.
Several months ago, high fashion brand Balenciaga released a “T-shirt shirt”, which is a shirt sewn on the front of a T-shirt. The unusual design has certainly confused a lot of people.
But the “double shirt” isn’t fighting alone on the frontier of strange fashion. Ever since US shoe manufacturer Crocs released its famous hole-filled foam shoes, the so-called “ugly fashion” hasn’t showed any signs of slowing down, the Business of Fashion website noted.
British designer Paul Surridge believes that the rise of ugly fashion is a sign that people are bored with looking perfect all the time. “Fashion thrives(蓬勃发展) on novelty”, he told the Financial Times.
Indeed, fashion is all about changes. Something that’s considered uncool one minute can then turn out to be the latest must-have fashion item the next.
And in the eyes of US fashion writer Megan Collins, ugly doesn’t necessarily mean the design of the item is ugly. After all, ugly is something subjective. “Ugly fashion means ‘not the mainstream’——it is not what everyone’s wearing; it is not what the general population considers as ‘in’ right now,” she told style news site Fashionista.
But throughout the history of fashion, when any new trend appears, most people tend to hate it, before it eventually becomes loved. As Italian designer Miuccia Prada told The New York Times, “Maybe because it is newer, ugly is attractive. Ugly is exciting.”
Meanwhile, popular social media fashion bloggers also help people to pick up new ugly fashion trends. These bloggers express themselves through their clothes, showing their unique personalities and making comments on their clothing choices. However, as Clever-ish Magazine noted, just being comfortable in your own skin could actually be “the best look”.
“I personally love having a unique expression because without ugly fashion and diversity, we’d all look the same,” Australian fashion influencer(网红) and model Zanita Whittington told Fashionista. “I appreciate anything that’s out of the norm(规范).”
