阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
They were a happy family:four daughters were all in the same school in different grades. The youngest, Janice, who was in my class, seemed to be glued(粘) to her mother’s skirts. The three older girls took the bus to school every morning, but Janice was always driven to school by her mother.
One Friday, Janice’s mother asked for a talk with me. She said in a soft voice, “My husband is going to Europe on business for two weeks, and he insists that I go with him. I have tried to explain over and over that Janice needs me here. But he thinks that she will be fine without me so I have no choice; I have to go. I have told the babysitter to drive her every morning. Will you please give Janice special attention and help her I want to be sure everything goes well for her.”
I told her that we would make every effort to support Janice. I even volunteered to meet Janice at her car so she would see a familiar face. As a mother myself, I’d like to help. Janice’s mother thanked me for my understanding.
On Monday morning, expecting a tearful, anxious child, I planned a special program of fun and games. I waited outside to greet Janice, but just then the bus arrived and not three, but four girls got off. Janice skipped along joyfully, saying “goodbye” to her sisters as she ran with two friends into the classroom. I walked slowly into the classroom and called Janice over to ask how the bus ride went. Impatiently she said, “Oh, I always want to take the bus with the other kids, but Mother needs to be with me. You see there won’t be any more babies, so I have to be a baby a little longer. While she is away, I’ll just ride the bus every day. I am five, you know.”
1. Why did Janice’s mother want to have a talk with the author
A To ask her to help Janice with her homework. B. To ask her to pick up Janice every day.
C. To ask her to meet Janice at her car. D. To ask her to give Janice more attention.
2. What did the author not do for Janice
A. Plan a special program of fun and games. B. Wait for her outside the school.
C. Greet her when she got off the car. D. Ask about her bus ride.
3. What do we know from the passage
A. Janice is too young to go to school by bus. B. Janice likes taking a bus to school.
C. Janice doesn’t like her babysitter. D. Janice is no longer a child.
B
A young Dutch inventor is widening his effort to clean up floating(浮动的) plastic from the Pacific Ocean. He has developed a floating device(设备) to trap plastic waste moving into rivers before it reaches the oceans.
Boyan Slat was just 18 years old when he invented a system for catching waste in the ocean. He also founded an environmental group called “The Ocean Cleanup”. Its purpose is to develop the system. Last year, Slat showed the next step: a floating device called Interceptor. It removes plastic out of rivers. The device is powered by energy from the sun. “The 1,000 rivers are responsible for about 80% of plastic going into the world’s oceans,” said Slat. Three of the machines have already been used. Each machine costs about $ 775,660, but the cost might drop as production increases.
Since they were used, the machines have been doing very well, collecting the plastic bottles and all the rubbish in the rivers. According to Slat, it is necessary to close “the tap”, which means preventing more plastic from reaching the ocean in the first place. He wanted to clean them all in the next five years. “This is not going to be easy, but if we do get this done, we could truly make our oceans again,” said Slat.
The device is designed to be safe in rivers. Its nose is shaped to change directions to keep it away from larger floating things. It works by guiding plastic waste into an opening in the front of the device. The waste is then carried inside the machine where it is dropped into containers. The device sends a text message to local operators that can come and empty it when it is full.
4. What do we know about Interceptor
A. It is being under test.
B. It can help sort waste.
C. It needs solar power to work.
D. It is mainly used in the oceans.
5. What does “the tap” refer to in paragraph 3
A. The rivers.
B. The machines.
C. The oceans.
D. The waste.
6. What’s the function of the device’s nose
A. To empty the waste.
B. To serve as containers.
C. To ensure the device’s safety.
D. To send operators text messages.
7. Where is the text most likely from
A. A diary.
B. A guidebook.
C A novel.
D. A magazine.
C
It’s important for children to take part in social activities during their summer holidays. “Kids should have a break during the summer. They’ve worked hard during the school year and this is their time to relax, but they should continue communicating with their friends and meeting new people,” said Dr. Jin Han. He’s a professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
Spending time with friends and meeting new people by doing fun and educational activities such as music, arts and sports programs in summer help with their development. “If children spend a lot of time alone on their electronic equipment, then they will fail to communicate with others,” Han said. “In today’s world, it’s very easy for kids to stay indoors all day and keep in touch with others, but that is not a good way to connect with others. Face-to-face communication is necessary and important. Parents should restrict the time their children spend on electronic equipment. For example, the time they spend on their phones cannot be more than one hour a day.”
It’s also important for children to spend quality time with their parents and sisters or brothers. “It’s not the length of time, but the quality of time that families spend together that is really valuable,” Han said. “This type of communication is not something that you can get from anywhere else. It doesn’t matter how old the child is, because family bonding (人与人之间的关系) experiences can happen at any time.”
Having children spend time with friends and families doesn’t have to spend money in the wallet, either. For example, going to the neighborhood swimming pool or having a picnic is a great way to spend quality time together.
8. What does Dr. Jin Han think about the summer holidays according to the first paragraph
A. It is necessary for children to have a rest during summer holidays.
B. Children should relax as much as possible during summer holidays.
C. Making new friends in summer holidays is difficult for children.
D. Children should prepare for schoolwork in summer holidays.
9. What does the underlined word “restrict” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Increase. B. Control. C. Spend. D. Employ.
10. What can we infer from children spending time with families
A. How long children spend with families matters.
B. What to do with families depends on the parents.
C. When to spend time with families makes a difference.
D. How to enjoy the time with families is of great importance.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. The importance of friends and families. B. The introduction of some social activities.
C. The suitable ways to spend summer holidays. D. The necessity of face-to-face communication.
D
Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages. Often spoken by many people while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 Languages: the Americas about 1,000, Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6，000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150). Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
12. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times
A. They developed very fast. B. They were large in number.
C. They had similar patters. D. They were closely connected
13. Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？
A. Complex. B. Advanced.
C. Powerful. D. Modern.
14. How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present
A. About 6,800 . B. About 3,400
C. About 2,400 D. About 1,200.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. New languages will be created.
B. Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languages.
C. Human development results in fewer languages.
D. Geography determines language evolution.

(我在外面等着和Janice打招呼，但就在这时巴士来了，下了车的不是三个，而是四个女孩。Janice高兴地蹦蹦跳跳地走着，和她的姐妹们说了声“再见”，然后和两个朋友一起跑进了教室)”可知，保姆并未驾车送Janice来升学，作者也并没有在Janice下车时去迎接她。故选C项。

A young Dutch inventor is widening his effort to clean up floating(浮动的) plastic from the Pacific Ocean. He has developed a floating device(设备) to trap plastic waste moving into rivers before it reaches the oceans.
Boyan Slat was just 18 years old when he invented a system for catching waste in the ocean. He also founded an environmental group called “The Ocean Cleanup”. Its purpose is to develop the system. Last year, Slat showed the next step: a floating device called Interceptor. It removes plastic out of rivers. The device is powered by energy from the sun. “The 1,000 rivers are responsible for about 80% of plastic going into the world’s oceans,” said Slat. Three of the machines have already been used. Each machine costs about $ 775,660, but the cost might drop as production increases.
Since they were used, the machines have been doing very well, collecting the plastic bottles and all the rubbish in the rivers. According to Slat, it is necessary to close “the tap”, which means preventing more plastic from reaching the ocean in the first place. He wanted to clean them all in the next five years. “This is not going to be easy, but if we do get this done, we could truly make our oceans again,” said Slat.
The device is designed to be safe in rivers. Its nose is shaped to change directions to keep it away from larger floating things. It works by guiding plastic waste into an opening in the front of the device. The waste is then carried inside the machine where it is dropped into containers. The device sends a text message to local operators that can come and empty it when it is full.
4. What do we know about Interceptor
A. It is being under test.
B. It can help sort waste.
C. It needs solar power to work.
D. It is mainly used in the oceans.
5. What does “the tap” refer to in paragraph 3
A. The rivers.
B. The machines.
C. The oceans.
D. The waste.
6. What’s the function of the device’s nose
A. To empty the waste.
B. To serve as containers.
C. To ensure the device’s safety.
D. To send operators text messages.
7. Where is the text most likely from
A. A diary.
B. A guidebook.
C. A novel.
D. A magazine.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍荷兰年轻发明家发明的一种移除河流中塑料垃圾的机器。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。从第二段中“The device is powered by energy from the sun.（这个装置是由太阳能驱动的。）”可知，这台设备的运行需要太阳能的支持。故选C项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“it is necessary to close ‘the tap’, which means preventing more plastic from reaching the ocean in the first place（关闭“水龙头”是有必要的，这意味着首先要防止更多的塑料流入海洋）” 可知，Slat认为如果减少河里的垃圾，就能阻止垃圾进入海洋，此处close “the tap”是比喻说法，因此the tap指的是河流。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The device is designed to be safe in rivers. Its nose is shaped to change directions to keep it away from larger floating things.（这个装置被设计成在河流中是安全的。它的探头形状可以改变方向，使它远离较大的漂浮物。）”可知，探头通过遇到较大漂浮物就改变方向的设计，可以让它避免被碰撞，从而确保它自身的安全。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。本文体裁是一篇科技类说明文，主要介绍荷兰年轻发明家发明的一种移除河流中塑料垃圾的机器，因此最有可能出现在科普类的杂志上。故选D项。
C
It’s important for children to take part in social activities during their summer holidays. “Kids should have a break during the summer. They’ve worked hard during the school year and this is their time to relax, but they should continue communicating with their friends and meeting new people,” said Dr. Jin Han. He’s a professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
Spending time with friends and meeting new people by doing fun and educational activities such as music, arts and sports programs in summer help with their development. “If children spend a lot of time alone on their electronic equipment, then they will fail to communicate with others,” Han said. “In today’s world, it’s very easy for kids to stay indoors all day and keep in touch with others, but that is not a good way to connect with others. Face-to-face communication is necessary and important. Parents should restrict the time their children spend on electronic equipment. For example, the time they spend on their phones cannot be more than one hour a day.”
It’s also important for children to spend quality time with their parents and sisters or brothers. “It’s not the length of time, but the quality of time that families spend together that is really valuable,” Han said. “This type of communication is not something that you can get from anywhere else. It doesn’t matter how old the child is, because family bonding (人与人之间的关系) experiences can happen at any time.”
Having children spend time with friends and families doesn’t have to spend money in the wallet, either. For example, going to the neighborhood swimming pool or having a picnic is a great way to spend quality time together.
8. What does Dr. Jin Han think about the summer holidays according to the first paragraph
A. It is necessary for children to have a rest during summer holidays.
B. Children should relax as much as possible during summer holidays.
C. Making new friends in summer holidays is difficult for children.
D. Children should prepare for schoolwork in summer holidays.
9. What does the underlined word “restrict” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Increase. B. Control. C. Spend. D. Employ.
10 What can we infer from children spending time with families
A. How long children spend with families matters.
B. What to do with families depends on the parents.
C. When to spend time with families makes a difference.
D. How to enjoy the time with families is of great importance.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. The importance of friends and families. B. The introduction of some social activities.
C. The suitable ways to spend summer holidays. D. The necessity of face-to-face communication.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了孩子们在暑假期间应该参加社会活动，应该结识新朋友，与父母家人度过优质的家庭时间，并且不一定花钱。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Kids should have a break during the summer.(孩子们在夏天应该休息一下)”由此可知，金瀚博士认为在暑假里孩子好好休息是必要的。故选A。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“Face-to-face communication is necessary and important.”(面对面交流是必要的和重要的)以及划线词后文“the time their children spend on electronic equipment”可推知因为面对面交流是必要的和重要的，所以父母应当限制他们孩子花费在电子设备上的时间，故restrict意思与B项“控制”意思相近，A. Increase.增加；B. Control.控制；C. Spend.花费；D. Employ.雇佣。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“It’s also important for children to spend quality time with their parents and sisters or brothers.(对孩子来说，花优质的时间和他们的父母、姐妹或兄弟在一起也很重要)”以及后文中“It’s not the length of time, but the quality of time that families spend together that is really valuable,” Han said.”(韩认为：“不是时间的长短，而是家庭在一起的时间质量是非常有价值的”)故由从孩子与家人相处中我们能推断出，如何享受与家人在一起的时间是非常重要的。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段提出孩子们在暑假期间参加社会活动是很重要的。根据第二段的首句“Spending time with friends and meeting new people by doing fun and educational activities such as music, arts and sports programs in summer help with their development.” (花时间和朋友在一起，结识新的人，在夏天做一些有趣的教育活动，如音乐、艺术和体育节目，有助于他们的发展)；第三段的首句“It’s also important for children to spend quality time with their parents and sisters or brothers.”(对孩子来说，花优质的时间和他们的父母、姐妹或兄弟在一起也很重要)根据第四段的首句“Having children spend time with friends and families doesn’t have to spend money in the wallet, either.”(让孩子花时间和朋友和家人在一起也不必把钱花掉钱包里的钱)可推断，文章主要讲述了孩子们在暑假期间应该参加社会活动，应该结识新朋友，与父母家人度过优质的家庭时间，并且不一定非要花钱，因此文章主要讲述过暑假的合适方式。故选C。
D
Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages. Often spoken by many people while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 Languages: the Americas about 1,000, Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6，000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150). Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
12. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times
A. They developed very fast. B. They were large in number.
C. They had similar patters. D. They were closely connected
13. Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？
A. Complex. B. Advanced.
C. Powerful. D. Modern.
14. How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present
A. About 6,800 . B. About 3,400
C. About 2,400 D. About 1,200.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. New languages will be created.
B. Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languages.
C. Human development results in fewer languages.
D. Geography determines language evolution.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了随着社会的发展人类语言越来越少及其原因。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other... when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.可知，当世界以依靠狩猎为生的人组成的时候，小而联系紧密的群落形成了他们彼此之间独立的讲话模式……当世界上的人口数量不到一千万时，语言种类达到了12,000种。由此推知，当时的语言种类很多。故选B。
【13题详解】
猜测词义题。根据文章第二段中的dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.可知，英语、西班牙语和汉语正在快速替代其他语言。由此推知dominant languages意为“强有力的语言”。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的At present, the world has about 6,800 languages.和The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that. 可知，目前世界上大约有6800种语言，但是讲的人数少于6000人的占一半即3400。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨要义题。根据文章第一段中的主题句Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.可知，语言的产生和消失进行了几千年，但最近语言产生的少，消失的太多。故选C。
点睛：长难句解读
In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
分析：dominant前的and连接两个并列句，all和前面的名词短语trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications是同位语。
句意：在最近的几个世纪，贸易、工业化、民族国家的发展和全球义务教育的普及，尤其是过去几十年来，全球化和更好的交流，这些都导致许多语言消失。而且像英语、西班牙语和汉语等主流语言正日益占据主导地位。

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
In Canada, high school grades ____41____ (use) as the main standards for admission(准许进入) to college or university. However, a research ____42____ (do) by scientists and sociologists shows that although high school grades alone are a moderate predictor (合理的预测) of post-secondary success, nearly 75% of student success is decided by other factors (因素). These factors are often described ____43____ 21st century skills and they form a long list in the research.
The important things that contribute to ____44____ (successful) finishing post-secondary education at the individual student level are motivation (动力), good study habits, and stress management. Others include problem-solving, communication, creativity and self-direction.
While a good mix(结合，融合) of all the above factors ____45____ (seem) to be the best predictor of student success, ____46____ is likely that strengths in one area can make up for deficits ( 不足) in other areas.

【解析】
【分析】本文为一篇说明文。一项研究表明，尽管高中成绩是专上学业水平成功的一个适度预测因素，但近75%的学生成功是由其它因素决定的。 本文介绍了影响学生专上学业水平成功的相关因素，且鼓励学生全面发展及独立思考。
【详解】1.考查动词时态和语态。句意：在加拿大，高中成绩是大学入学的主要标准。分析句子可知，空处缺少谓语，grades与use构成逻辑上的被动关系，且表示客观情况，用一般现在时的被动语态。故填：are used。
2.考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，科学家和社会学家所做的一项研究表明，尽管高中成绩是专上学业水平成功的一个适度预测因素，但近75%的学生成功是由其它因素决定的。分析句子可知，空处缺少do的适当形式作a research的后置定语，research与do构成逻辑上的被动关系，用过去分词作定语。故填：done。
3.考查介词。句意：这些因素通常被描述为21世纪的技能，它们在研究中形成了一串长长的列表。分析句子可知，空处缺少介词，be described as意思为：被描述为，符合题意。故填：as。
4.考查副词。句意：对于每个学生来说，成功完成高等教育的重要因素是动力、良好的学习习惯和压力管理。分析句子可知，空处缺少副词作状语，修饰finish。successfully“成功地”符合题意。故填：successfully。
5.考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：虽然上述所有因素的良好组合似乎是学生成功的最佳预测因素，但很可能一个领域的优势可以弥补其它领域的不足。分析句子可知，空处缺少动词seem的适当形式，主语mix名词单数形式，且句意表示客观情况，一般现在时，seem用第三人称单数形式seems。故填：seems。
6.考查代词。句意同上。观察句子可知，“that strengths in one area can make up for deficits in other areas.”为主语从句，空处用形式主语it作形式主语，指代从句内容。故填：it。
7.考查定语从句。句意：例如，如果对未来有明确的目标，一个在高中成绩较低的学生可以在大学表现很好。分析句子结构可知，a student为先行词，“ has lower grades in high school”为定语从句，先行词指代人，在从句中作主语，用关系代词who或者that。故填：who/that。
8.考查代词。句意同上。分析句子可知，空处缺少形容词性物主代词作future的定语，he对应的形容词性物主代词为his“他的”。故填：his。
9.考查非谓语动词。句意：虽然高中成绩将决定一个学生是否被学术项目录取，但学生处理专上程度学术、社会和经济挑战的能力将决定他们的成功。分析句子可知，ability“能力”后用动词不定式作后置定语。故填：to deal。
10.考查非谓语动词。句意：优秀的高中成绩并不能保证高中后的成功；中学和家长可以在帮助支持全面发展、独立思考的学生的发展方面发挥关键作用，这些学生将能够在专上学业水平取得成功。分析句子可知，空处放在介词in后，缺少动名词作宾语。故填：helping。

【答案】Dear Kate,
How is everything going with you recently It's been almost two months since l entered Senior High School. I've got so much to share with you.
Since entering Senior One, a great change has happened to me. First of all, I'm studying much harder than ever with the purpose of adjusting myself to Senior high school. Besides, so many tests do we face every day that 1 feel extremely stressed, even lose sleep sometimes at night. What's more, occupied with my study, I can't afford any time to take up my hobbies, let alone playing computer games as before. However, I have made great progress in English even though physics is still a headache to me. While studying, I will make wise use of my time. By keeping a balance between study and rest, the learning efficiency, I believe, can be improved and my dream will come true.
How about your school life？I hope to visit your school in the near future so that we can learn more about the differences and similarities between us.
Best wishes！
Yours,
Li Hua
