第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）

A
As cultural symbols go, the American car is quite young. The Model T Ford was built at the Piquette Plant in Michigan a century ago, with the first rolling off the assembly line(装配线) on September 27, 1908. Only eleven cars were produced the next month. But eventually Henry Ford would build fifteen million of them.
Modern America was born on the road, behind a wheel. The car shaped some of the most lasting aspects of American culture: the roadside diner, the billboard, the motel, even the hamburger. For most of the last century, the car represented what it meant to be American—going forward at high speed to find new worlds. The road novel, the road movie, these are the most typical American ideas, born of abundant petrol, cheap cars and a never-ending interstate highway system, the largest public works project in history.
In 1928 Herbert Hoover imagined an America with "a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage" Since then, this society has moved onward, never looking back, as the car transformed America from a farm-based society into an industrial power.
The cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological disaster. In America the demand for oil has grown by 22 percent since 1990.
The problems of excessive(过度的) energy consumption, climate change and population growth have been described in a book by the American writer Thomas L. Friedman. He fears the worst, but hopes for the best.
Friedman points out that the green economy(经济) is a chance to keep American strength. "The ability to design, build and export green technologies for producing clean water, clean air and healthy and abundant food is going to be the currency of power in the new century."
1.Why is hamburger mentioned in paragraph 2
A.To explain Americans' love for travelling by car.
B.To show the influence of cars on American culture.
C.To stress the popularity of fast food with Americans.
D.To praise the effectiveness of America's road system.
2.What has the use of cars in America led to
A.Decline of economy. B.Environmental problems.
C.A shortage of oil supply. D.A farm-based society.
3.What is Friedman's attitude towards America's future
A.Ambiguous. B.Doubtful. C.Hopeful. D.Tolerant.
B
Winning one professional tennis championship is difficult. Imagine winning 100 of them! Swiss tennis star Roger Federer just did that on March 2, 2019.
Federer collected his 100th trophy (奖杯) from the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) by winning the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. He beat Stefanos Tsitsipas, a young player from Greece. "Reaching 100 is absolutely a dream coming true for me," he said at the presentation ceremony. "I'm so happy I am still playing. It's been a long, wonderful journey."
Federer's journey started in 2001. In the Milan Indoor final, Federer beat Frenchman Julien Boutter and won his first ATP title at age 20. After the match, the media described him as "one of the up-and-coming players on the men's tennis scene".
For most of his 23 years as a professional athlete, Federer has managed to keep a good image, both on and off the court. But sometimes he doubted himself and his physical abilities. He recently said that he had been suffering a hand injury since 2016." I hurt my hand in training. It's had more consequences than I thought," Federer told SonntagsZeitung, a German newspaper.
Federer is driven to continue by his perseverance and love of the game. "You need to be stubborn, and believe diligence is going to pay off," he told Tennis World USA. His determination has clearly paid off. He's now compared to legendary US player Jimmy Connors, who set the record of 109 titles. "What Jimmy did was an unbelievable achievement and I'm also proud of things I have done," Federer said.
1.Why was March 2, 2019 a special day for Roger Federer
A.He was defeated by a much younger player.
B.He had to retire because of injury.
C.He won his 100th ATP title at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.
D.He became the youngest player to win the most titles for tennis players.
2. How did the media describe Federer when he beat Julien Boutter
A.Promising. B.Talented. C.Proud. D.Creative.
3.What is the key to Federe's success
A.Never doubting your abilities. B.Keeping working hard.
C.Learning from past experience. D.Trying to follow a role model.
4.What is the best title for the article
A.The achievements of Roger Federer B.Roger Federer got the 100th trophy
C.Roger Federer's tennis skills D.The difficulties Roger Federer got through
C
For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.
"It's no secret that China has always been a source of inspiration for designers," says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion shows.
Earlier in 2015, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China had fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there was huge interest in Chinese influences.
"It is impossible to overlook China," says Hill. "Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion—they are central to its movement." Of course, not only are today's top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. "Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales," adds Hill.
For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. "The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers," she says. "China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways."
1. What can we learn about the exhibition in New York
A. It promoted the sales of artworks.
B. It attracted a large number of visitors.
C. It showed ancient Chinese clothes.
D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models.
2. What does Hill say about Chinese women
A. They are setting the fashion.
B. They start many fashion campaigns.
C. They admire super models.
D. They do business all over the world.
3. What do the underlined words "taking on" in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Learning from B. Looking down on
C. Working with D. Competing against
4. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Young Models Selling Dreams to the World
B. A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New York
C. Differences Between Eastern and Western Aesthetics
D. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends
D
One advantage of the Internet is shopping conveniently online for clothes; one disadvantage of the Internet is also shopping conveniently online for clothes.
"Nothing fits," said Lam Yuk Wong, a senior majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rice University. "Everyone says this. They order clothes and they don't fit. People get very unhappy."
Wong and her design partner, Xuaner (Cecilia) Zhang, are Team White Mirror, creators of what they call a "virtual (虚拟的) fitting room". Their goal is simple and consumer-friendly: to let online clothing shoppers have a perfect fit and a perfect look when shopping.
Both women are from China, Wong from Hong Kong and Zhang from Beijing. They both order most of their clothing online. They got the idea from their own experiences as consumers and from listening to the complaints of friends and relatives. "They say, 'The colour is wrong.' or 'I got the right size but it still does not fit.' We want to make it like you're in the store trying on the clothes," Zhang said.
Using a Kinect developed by Microsoft with its Xbox 360 video game player, Zhang scanned Wong and turned her image into, in effect, a virtual model, keeping Wong's dimensions (尺寸), and even her skin and hair colour. "We put the clothes on the shoppers' 3-D body models and show how they look when they get dressed," Wong said. So far, Wong and Zhang have adapted the software to show dresses and shirts, and they are now working on shorts.
Asked if she thought men as well as women might be interested in using their virtual fitting room, Wong said, "I think their wives will care about this, so it will also be important to men."
1. Why is shopping conveniently online for clothes a disadvantage
A. Clothes bought online may not fit.
B. Students may easily get addicted to it.
C. It attracts more online clothing shoppers.
D. It causes shoppers to waste too much money.
2. Wong and Zhang got the idea of designing a virtual fitting room from _____.
A. the Xbox 360 video game player B. a programme at their university
C. some shop-owners' complaints D. their shopping experiences
3. Which of the following shows the process of using the virtual fitting room
A. scanning-trying on clothes-getting images
B. trying on clothes-getting models-scanning
C. scanning-getting models-trying on clothes
D. trying on clothes-getting images-scanning
4. What did Wong think of the virtual fitting room
A. It is perfectly developed. B. It will have its market share.
C. It is limited to women shoppers. D. It is like a kind of video game player.

第二节 （满分25分）
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Once there was a little girl named Emily. Although her singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking of courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer, the neighbourhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, "I'm afraid to take part in it." Her mother said, "it's okay, just do it bravely." Emily followed her mum's advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的) to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily (颤抖地) forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing, but her voice was so low. What's worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词) after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said, "Emily, coward (胆小鬼)! Emily, coward!" Emily didn't argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mum and cried sadly.
"Well, my poor girl. Don't cry. Tell me what happened to you," asked her mum. Emily looked up her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her, her mum cupped her face and said, "It doesn't matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don't be beaten by a failure. You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you."
Paragraph 1:
Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her mum's suggestion. _______________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2 :
Going on singing, she walked into the park, where many people were singing and dancing. ___________

答案以及解析
第一部分 阅读理解
第一节
A
答案：1-3 BBC
解析：1.细节理解题。从文章第二段的The car shaped some of the most lasting aspects of American culture... 可知, 此处提到"hamburger"的目的是证明美国的汽车对美国文化的影响。 因此B项正确。
2.细节理解题。从第四段的The cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological disaster. 可知, 汽车的使用导致了美国的环境问题。故选B项。
3.推理判断题。从文章的最后一段可知, Friedman指出绿色经济是保持美国强大的机会。因此他对美国的未来是"充满希望的"。故选C项。
B
答案：1-4 CABB
解析：1.根据第一段中的" Imagine winning 100 of them! Swiss tennis star Roger Federer just did that on March 2, 2019"可知，2019年3月2日对 Federer来说是个特别的日子，在那天，他赢得了职业生涯中第10个冠军奖杯。
2.根据第三段中的" In the Milan Indoor final... After the match, the media described him as 'one of the up-and-coming players on the men's tennis scene' "可知， Federer20岁时在米兰室内网球赛决赛中击败 Julien Boutter，赢得了他的第一个职业网球大赛冠军，媒体把他描述为男子网球赛场上的一位有前途的运动员。故A项符合题意。
3.根据最后一段的第一句" Federer is driven to continue by his perseverance and love of the game"可知，是毅力和对这项运动的热爱促使着 Federer在职业生涯中继续前进，所以B项更符合题意。
4.本文主要报道了 Federer获得了他职业生涯中第100个冠军奖杯的事情，并揭示了 Federer取得如此优异的成绩的关键。所以B项更适合作文章的标题。
C
答案：1-4 BADD
解析：1.推理判断题。由题干中的the exhibition in New York定位到原文第三段。本段中并没有提到这次展览促进了艺术品的销售，也没有提到展示了中国古代的服装，故排除A、C两项；由“The exhibition had record attendance，showing that there was huge interest in Chinese influences.(此次展览吸引了破纪录的出席者，显示出人们对中国影响的浓厚兴趣）”可知，B项表述正确；由“...with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics on Western fashion and how China had fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries.(……旨在探索中国美学对西方时尚的影响，以及几个世纪以来中国是如何激发时尚想象力的）”可知，这次展览的目的不是介绍中国模特儿，故D项表述错误。
2.推理判断题。由原文第四段中Hill说的“...Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion—they are central to its movement.(……中国女性不仅是时尚的消费者——她们是这场运动的核心）”可以推断出，她们正在引领潮流，故选A。B项“她们发起许多时尚运动”，C项“她们崇拜超模”，D项“她们在世界各地做生意”，均不符合题意。
3.词义猜测题。由画线词后面的beating them hands down in design and sales(在设计和销售方面轻而易举地击败他们）可知， take on此处意为“与……较量”，故选D项。learn from向……学习； look down on轻视，瞧不起；work with与……共事。
4.标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章的第一段就点明了主题：对于西方设计师来说，长期以来中国及其丰富的文化一直是西方创作者的灵感来源。接下来Amanda Hill对中国文化和中国美学对国际时尚的影响进行了评价，由此可知，中国文化推动了国际时尚潮流，故D项作为文章的标题最合适。Hill说中国模特儿是向全世界女性贩卖梦想的美丽和时尚活动的代言人，旨在强调中国女性在时尚方面的重要性；在纽约举办的中国艺术展只是文章提到的一个事例，不是文章论述的中心；文章中没有提到东西方在审美方面的不同，因此A、B、C三项均不能概括全文。
D
答案：1-4 ADCB
解析：1.细节理解题。答案定位在第二段, 根据本段中的Nothing fits和"Everyone says this. They order clothes and they don't fit. People get very unhappy. "可知, 网上购买的衣服的一个不足之处就是不合身, 故选A项。
2.细节理解题。根据第四段中的They got the idea from their own experiences as consumers and from listening to the complaints of friends and relatives. 可知, Wong和Zhang设计虚拟试衣间的灵感来自她们自己网上购买衣服的经历, 故选D项。
3.细节理解题。根据第五段内容可知, Zhang使用微软开发的Kinect扫描Wong, 将她的图像转换为虚拟模型, 然后把衣服穿在三维人体模型上, 展示模型穿着服装时的样子。所以虚拟试衣间的使用过程是scanning-getting models-trying on clothes, 故选C项。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的I think their wives will care about this, so it will also be important to men. 可知, Wong认为男士的妻子会很在意男士的穿着形象, 所以男士也会对虚拟试衣间感兴趣, 由此判断出Wong认为虚拟试衣间将有它的市场占有率, 故选B项。
第二节
答案：①-⑤ GFBAE
解析：①分析文章结构可知, 本空应选择一个主旨句来概括下面几个要点, G项中的many options available是重要提示, 故选G项。
②本段主要是讲图书馆里的免费活动, 选项F中的关键词Many libraries与本段主旨句中的library相对应, 且F项与上文衔接自然, 联系紧密, 故选F项。
③根据本段主旨句以及下文中的"If there's no beach nearby" 可知, B项符合语境。
④分析文章结构可知, 本空为主旨句。本段主要讲本地社区的活动, 故答案为A项。且选项A中的local community center与空后一句中的local community center相照应。
⑤根据本段内容尤其是主旨句可知, 本段主要讲带孩子参观消防站, 结合选项可知, E项符合语境。

第一节
答案：1-5 BDCBC 6-10 DABAC 11-15 DBDCA

第二节
答案：be wiped; However; supplies; handful; that / which; a; fewer; to deliver; has been published; to
解析：①wipe out和could—起构成句子谓语, 与主语70 percent of king penguins之间是被动关系, 应用被动语态, 情态动词could后要用动词原形, 故填be wiped。
②句意为:然而, 很多人都很乐观, 因为这些统计数据显示这些企鹅目前还没有濒临灭绝。根据句意可知, 上下文是转折关系, 故填However。
③此处应用名词作从句主语, 因为句子时态为一般现在时, 故由从句谓语动词move判断从句主语是复数形式, fish supplies表示“鱼类供给”,故填supplies。
④句总为:但随着它们的鱼类供应进一步进人南大洋, 这种情况可能会改变, 那里只有少数几个岛屿可以为这些企鹅提供栖息地。a handful of为固定表达, 表示“少数”, handful意为“一把(的量)”, 故填handful。
⑤_____ are not too cold...是定语从句, 修饰先行词islands, 关系词在从句中充当主语, 所以应用关系代词。故填 that / which。
⑥trip是可数名词, 结合上下文可知, 此处意为“一次往返的旅行”, 是泛指, 应用不定冠词, 且round的发音以辅音音素开头, 故填a。
⑦此处应用形容词作表语, 再结合句意可知, 此处意为 “越来越少”, 应用比较级, 故填fewer。
⑧it takes / took sb some time to do sth 为固定句型, 表示“做某事花费某人多少时间”, 其中it是形式主语, 不定式短语是真正的主语, 故填to deliver。
⑨publish在此处是定语从句的谓语动词, 与从句主语study之间是被动关系, 再由so far判断此处时态为现在完成时, 故应用现在完成时的被动语态, 主语study是第三人称单数, 故填has been published。
⑩give rise to为固定搭配, 意为“引起, 导致”, 故填to。

第二节
答案：
Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her mum's suggestion. The next day, she began to practice singing outside. ①Gradually, her courage became greater and greater, and the sound of her singing was also louder and louder.

The Model T Ford was built at the Piquette Plant in Michigan a century ago, with the first rolling off the assembly line(装配线) on September 27, 1908. Only eleven cars were produced the next month. But eventually Henry Ford would build fifteen million of them.
Modern America was born on the road, behind a wheel. The car shaped some of the most lasting aspects of American culture: the roadside diner, the billboard, the motel, even the hamburger. For most of the last century, the car represented what it meant to be American—going forward at high speed to find new worlds. The road novel, the road movie, these are the most typical American ideas, born of abundant petrol, cheap cars and a never-ending interstate highway system, the largest public works project in history.
In 1928 Herbert Hoover imagined an America with "a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage" Since then, this society has moved onward, never looking back, as the car transformed America from a farm-based society into an industrial power.
The cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological disaster. In America the demand for oil has grown by 22 percent since 1990.
The problems of excessive(过度的) energy consumption, climate change and population growth have been described in a book by the American writer Thomas L. Friedman. He fears the worst, but hopes for the best.
Friedman points out that the green economy(经济) is a chance to keep American strength. "The ability to design, build and export green technologies for producing clean water, clean air and healthy and abundant food is going to be the currency of power in the new century."
1.Why is hamburger mentioned in paragraph 2
A.To explain Americans' love for travelling by car.
B.To show the influence of cars on American culture.
C.To stress the popularity of fast food with Americans.
D.To praise the effectiveness of America's road system.
2.What has the use of cars in America led to
A.Decline of economy. B.Environmental problems.
C.A shortage of oil supply. D.A farm-based society.
3.What is Friedman's attitude towards America's future
A.Ambiguous. B.Doubtful. C.Hopeful. D.Tolerant.

Winning one professional tennis championship is difficult. Imagine winning 100 of them! Swiss tennis star Roger Federer just did that on March 2, 2019.
Federer collected his 100th trophy (奖杯) from the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) by winning the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships. He beat Stefanos Tsitsipas, a young player from Greece. "Reaching 100 is absolutely a dream coming true for me," he said at the presentation ceremony. "I'm so happy I am still playing. It's been a long, wonderful journey."
Federer's journey started in 2001. In the Milan Indoor final, Federer beat Frenchman Julien Boutter and won his first ATP title at age 20. After the match, the media described him as "one of the up-and-coming players on the men's tennis scene".
For most of his 23 years as a professional athlete, Federer has managed to keep a good image, both on and off the court. But sometimes he doubted himself and his physical abilities. He recently said that he had been suffering a hand injury since 2016." I hurt my hand in training. It's had more consequences than I thought," Federer told SonntagsZeitung, a German newspaper.
Federer is driven to continue by his perseverance and love of the game. "You need to be stubborn, and believe diligence is going to pay off," he told Tennis World USA. His determination has clearly paid off. He's now compared to legendary US player Jimmy Connors, who set the record of 109 titles. "What Jimmy did was an unbelievable achievement and I'm also proud of things I have done," Federer said.

For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.
"It's no secret that China has always been a source of inspiration for designers," says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion shows.
Earlier in 2015, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China had fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there was huge interest in Chinese influences.
"It is impossible to overlook China," says Hill. "Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion—they are central to its movement." Of course, not only are today's top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. "Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales," adds Hill.
For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. "The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers," she says. "China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways."
1. What can we learn about the exhibition in New York
A. It promoted the sales of artworks.
B. It attracted a large number of visitors.
C. It showed ancient Chinese clothes.
D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models.
2. What does Hill say about Chinese women
A. They are setting the fashion.
B. They start many fashion campaigns.
C. They admire super models.
D. They do business all over the world.
3. What do the underlined words "taking on" in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Learning from B. Looking down on
C. Working with D. Competing against
4. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Young Models Selling Dreams to the World
B. A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New York
C. Differences Between Eastern and Western Aesthetics
D. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends
D
One advantage of the Internet is shopping conveniently online for clothes; one disadvantage of the Internet is also shopping conveniently online for clothes.
"Nothing fits," said Lam Yuk Wong, a senior majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rice University. "Everyone says this. They order clothes and they don't fit. People get very unhappy."
Wong and her design partner, Xuaner (Cecilia) Zhang, are Team White Mirror, creators of what they call a "virtual (虚拟的) fitting room". Their goal is simple and consumer-friendly: to let online clothing shoppers have a perfect fit and a perfect look when shopping.
Both women are from China, Wong from Hong Kong and Zhang from Beijing. They both order most of their clothing online. They got the idea from their own experiences as consumers and from listening to the complaints of friends and relatives. "They say, 'The colour is wrong.' or 'I got the right size but it still does not fit.' We want to make it like you're in the store trying on the clothes," Zhang said.
Using a Kinect developed by Microsoft with its Xbox 360 video game player, Zhang scanned Wong and turned her image into, in effect, a virtual model, keeping Wong's dimensions (尺寸), and even her skin and hair colour. "We put the clothes on the shoppers' 3-D body models and show how they look when they get dressed," Wong said. So far, Wong and Zhang have adapted the software to show dresses and shirts, and they are now working on shorts.
Asked if she thought men as well as women might be interested in using their virtual fitting room, Wong said, "I think their wives will care about this, so it will also be important to men."
1. Why is shopping conveniently online for clothes a disadvantage
A. Clothes bought online may not fit.
B. Students may easily get addicted to it.
C. It attracts more online clothing shoppers.
D. It causes shoppers to waste too much money.
2. Wong and Zhang got the idea of designing a virtual fitting room from _____.
A. the Xbox 360 video game player B. a programme at their university
C. some shop-owners' complaints D. their shopping experiences
3. Which of the following shows the process of using the virtual fitting room
A. scanning-trying on clothes-getting images
B. trying on clothes-getting models-scanning
C. scanning-getting models-trying on clothes
D. trying on clothes-getting images-scanning
4. What did Wong think of the virtual fitting room
A. It is perfectly developed. B. It will have its market share.
C. It is limited to women shoppers. D. It is like a kind of video game player.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Once there was a little girl named Emily. Although her singing was very pleasant to hear, lacking of courage, she never dared to sing in front of strangers.
One summer, the neighbourhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, "I'm afraid to take part in it." Her mother said, "it's okay, just do it bravely." Emily followed her mum's advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的) to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily (颤抖地) forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing, but her voice was so low. What's worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词) after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said, "Emily, coward (胆小鬼)! Emily, coward!" Emily didn't argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could. Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mum and cried sadly.
"Well, my poor girl. Don't cry. Tell me what happened to you," asked her mum. Emily looked up her mother and told her what she had experienced.
Listening to her, her mum cupped her face and said, "It doesn't matter, girl. As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little. So, my girl, don't be beaten by a failure. You can go out to practice singing every day. No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop. I believe there will be a harvest for you."
Paragraph 1:
Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her mum's suggestion. _______________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2 :
Going on singing, she walked into the park, where many people were singing and dancing. ___________

答案以及解析
第一部分 阅读理解
第一节
A
答案：1-3 BBC
解析：1.细节理解题。从文章第二段的The car shaped some of the most lasting aspects of American culture... 可知, 此处提到"hamburger"的目的是证明美国的汽车对美国文化的影响。 因此B项正确。
2.细节理解题。从第四段的The cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological disaster. 可知, 汽车的使用导致了美国的环境问题。故选B项。
3.推理判断题。从文章的最后一段可知, Friedman指出绿色经济是保持美国强大的机会。因此他对美国的未来是"充满希望的"。故选C项。
B
答案：1-4 CABB
解析：1.根据第一段中的" Imagine winning 100 of them! Swiss tennis star Roger Federer just did that on March 2, 2019"可知，2019年3月2日对 Federer来说是个特别的日子，在那天，他赢得了职业生涯中第10个冠军奖杯。
2.根据第三段中的" In the Milan Indoor final... After the match, the media described him as 'one of the up-and-coming players on the men's tennis scene' "可知， Federer20岁时在米兰室内网球赛决赛中击败 Julien Boutter，赢得了他的第一个职业网球大赛冠军，媒体把他描述为男子网球赛场上的一位有前途的运动员。故A项符合题意。
3.根据最后一段的第一句" Federer is driven to continue by his perseverance and love of the game"可知，是毅力和对这项运动的热爱促使着 Federer在职业生涯中继续前进，所以B项更符合题意。
4.本文主要报道了 Federer获得了他职业生涯中第100个冠军奖杯的事情，并揭示了 Federer取得如此优异的成绩的关键。所以B项更适合作文章的标题。
C
答案：1-4 BADD
解析：1.推理判断题。由题干中的the exhibition in New York定位到原文第三段。本段中并没有提到这次展览促进了艺术品的销售，也没有提到展示了中国古代的服装，故排除A、C两项；由“The exhibition had record attendance，showing that there was huge interest in Chinese influences.(此次展览吸引了破纪录的出席者，显示出人们对中国影响的浓厚兴趣）”可知，B项表述正确；由“...with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics on Western fashion and how China had fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries.(……旨在探索中国美学对西方时尚的影响，以及几个世纪以来中国是如何激发时尚想象力的）”可知，这次展览的目的不是介绍中国模特儿，故D项表述错误。
2.推理判断题。由原文第四段中Hill说的“...Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion—they are central to its movement.(……中国女性不仅是时尚的消费者——她们是这场运动的核心）”可以推断出，她们正在引领潮流，故选A。B项“她们发起许多时尚运动”，C项“她们崇拜超模”，D项“她们在世界各地做生意”，均不符合题意。
3.词义猜测题。由画线词后面的beating them hands down in design and sales(在设计和销售方面轻而易举地击败他们）可知， take on此处意为“与……较量”，故选D项。learn from向……学习； look down on轻视，瞧不起；work with与……共事。
4.标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章的第一段就点明了主题：对于西方设计师来说，长期以来中国及其丰富的文化一直是西方创作者的灵感来源。接下来Amanda Hill对中国文化和中国美学对国际时尚的影响进行了评价，由此可知，中国文化推动了国际时尚潮流，故D项作为文章的标题最合适。Hill说中国模特儿是向全世界女性贩卖梦想的美丽和时尚活动的代言人，旨在强调中国女性在时尚方面的重要性；在纽约举办的中国艺术展只是文章提到的一个事例，不是文章论述的中心；文章中没有提到东西方在审美方面的不同，因此A、B、C三项均不能概括全文。
D
答案：1-4 ADCB
解析：1.细节理解题。答案定位在第二段, 根据本段中的Nothing fits和"Everyone says this. They order clothes and they don't fit. People get very unhappy. "可知, 网上购买的衣服的一个不足之处就是不合身, 故选A项。
2.细节理解题。根据第四段中的They got the idea from their own experiences as consumers and from listening to the complaints of friends and relatives. 可知, Wong和Zhang设计虚拟试衣间的灵感来自她们自己网上购买衣服的经历, 故选D项。
3.细节理解题。根据第五段内容可知, Zhang使用微软开发的Kinect扫描Wong, 将她的图像转换为虚拟模型, 然后把衣服穿在三维人体模型上, 展示模型穿着服装时的样子。所以虚拟试衣间的使用过程是scanning-getting models-trying on clothes, 故选C项。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的I think their wives will care about this, so it will also be important to men. 可知, Wong认为男士的妻子会很在意男士的穿着形象, 所以男士也会对虚拟试衣间感兴趣, 由此判断出Wong认为虚拟试衣间将有它的市场占有率, 故选B项。
第二节
答案：①-⑤ GFBAE
解析：①分析文章结构可知, 本空应选择一个主旨句来概括下面几个要点, G项中的many options available是重要提示, 故选G项。
②本段主要是讲图书馆里的免费活动, 选项F中的关键词Many libraries与本段主旨句中的library相对应, 且F项与上文衔接自然, 联系紧密, 故选F项。
③根据本段主旨句以及下文中的"If there's no beach nearby" 可知, B项符合语境。
④分析文章结构可知, 本空为主旨句。本段主要讲本地社区的活动, 故答案为A项。且选项A中的local community center与空后一句中的local community center相照应。
⑤根据本段内容尤其是主旨句可知, 本段主要讲带孩子参观消防站, 结合选项可知, E项符合语境。

第二节
答案：be wiped; However; supplies; handful; that / which; a; fewer; to deliver; has been published; to
解析：①wipe out和could—起构成句子谓语, 与主语70 percent of king penguins之间是被动关系, 应用被动语态, 情态动词could后要用动词原形, 故填be wiped。
②句意为:然而, 很多人都很乐观, 因为这些统计数据显示这些企鹅目前还没有濒临灭绝。根据句意可知, 上下文是转折关系, 故填However。
③此处应用名词作从句主语, 因为句子时态为一般现在时, 故由从句谓语动词move判断从句主语是复数形式, fish supplies表示“鱼类供给”,故填supplies。
④句总为:但随着它们的鱼类供应进一步进人南大洋, 这种情况可能会改变, 那里只有少数几个岛屿可以为这些企鹅提供栖息地。a handful of为固定表达, 表示“少数”, handful意为“一把(的量)”, 故填handful。
⑤_____ are not too cold...是定语从句, 修饰先行词islands, 关系词在从句中充当主语, 所以应用关系代词。故填 that / which。
⑥trip是可数名词, 结合上下文可知, 此处意为“一次往返的旅行”, 是泛指, 应用不定冠词, 且round的发音以辅音音素开头, 故填a。
⑦此处应用形容词作表语, 再结合句意可知, 此处意为 “越来越少”, 应用比较级, 故填fewer。
⑧it takes / took sb some time to do sth 为固定句型, 表示“做某事花费某人多少时间”, 其中it是形式主语, 不定式短语是真正的主语, 故填to deliver。
⑨publish在此处是定语从句的谓语动词, 与从句主语study之间是被动关系, 再由so far判断此处时态为现在完成时, 故应用现在完成时的被动语态, 主语study是第三人称单数, 故填has been published。
⑩give rise to为固定搭配, 意为“引起, 导致”, 故填to。

第二节
答案：
Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her mum's suggestion. The next day, she began to practice singing outside. ①Gradually, her courage became greater and greater, and the sound of her singing was also louder and louder. Months later, she could sing as she was walking. A naughty boy who had laughed at her before cried to her, "Emily, coward! Emily, coward!" However, she chose to ignore his behaviour.
Going on singing, she walked into the park, where many people were singing and dancing. ②Hearing her beautiful voice, some stopped to listen to her singing and clapped for her. A grandma smiled to her and said, "Oh, little girl, you sing really well!" Emily said thanks to her. Emily felt pleased that she could sing confidently in front of strangers. The second year, the neighbourhood held the singing competition again. This time, Emily walked onto the stage bravely, and her loud and beautiful voice of singing moved all the people. They all cheered for her, including those who had laughed at her. Her mother was delighted to see the timid girl had been a brave one.
