三、阅读理解
In all the world's cultures, people sing, play instruments, and celebrate with music. It plays such an important role in our lives that all fields focus on its study, including one looking at the biology of music. Experts are finding that because of the way our brains process music, learning to play an instrument or just listening to music can have a wide range of benefits.
Music education has received a lot of attention. Learning to play an instrument can help children improve math, science, and language skills. One study in Canada tracked children's IQ scores for nine months, discovering that children who studied music had the biggest test score improvement. The secret may lie in the way reading music and playing notes use several areas of the brain, thus increasing our ability to learn school subjects. For example, reading notes improves spatial(空间的) reasoning skills, which are helpful in solving math problems.
Music is also used for medical purposes, such as the treatment of diseases which affect memory. The secret lies in the way the brain processes music. One area near the forehead, the medial prefrontal cortex, connects music with memories stored in two other areas: the amygdala and hippocampus. That's why an old song can remind you of something that happened years ago. For patients suffering from diseases like Alzheimer's, listening to music can help unlock buried memories.
With the evidence of music's benefits pouring in, it's no wonder some countries make music study a part of their education systems. People are recognizing that music is more than just a form of entertainment. It's also great for the brain.
16.Why do people study music
A.Because music can be used for medical treatments.
B.Because music plays a very important role in our lives.
C.Because our brains can process music in different ways.
D.Because music education has received a lot of attention.
17.According to the Canadian study, which children had the most increased IQ scores
A.Those who already had high IQs.
B.Those who listened to music sometimes.
C.Those who could not play any instrument.
D.Those who studied music for a period of time.
18.Which of the following is a kind of disease
A.Spatial reasoning. B.Alzheimer's.
C.The amygdala and hippocampus. D.The medial prefrontal cortex.
19.What can be the best title for the text
A.Music and mind B.Music and health
C.Music and education D.Music and instruments

答案以及解析
一、语法填空
1.答案:Hearing
解析:考查动名词短语作主语。句意:听到别人对你刚读的书的反应会产生一种额外的乐趣。分析句子结构可知,“_____(hear) how others react to the book you have just read”作主语,结合句意可知此处表示一般性概念,故应用动名词短语作主语,该空置于句首,单词首字母应该大写。故填Hearing。
2.答案:coming
解析:分析句子可知,谓语contributed to前是主语,空前为Bob's,所以用动词-ing形式。句意:鲍勃前来帮助有助于我们按时完成任务。
3.答案:predication
解析:考查名词。句意:没有多少人同意政府认为经济会好转的预测。所填的词在名词的所有格后,所以用名词形式。
4.答案:on
解析:考查介词。 reflect on为固定搭配,意为"反思,认真思考"。
5.答案:walking
解析:句意为:除了观赏展品, 游客还可以玩电脑模拟(情境), 想象自己生活在一个不同的历史时期, 或者漫步在热带雨林中。此处为imagine sb doing sth结构, 意为“想象某人做某事”, 设空处与living并列作imagine的宾语, 故此处用动名词形式。故填walking。
6.答案:carried
解析:考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,that引导宾语从句,在从句中an appropriate amount of exercise是主语,“if...regularly”是if 引导的状语从句,此处已省略主语,所以设空处应省略谓语中的be动词,且carry out 与其逻辑主语exercise之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词表示被动。故填carried。句意:实验表明,适量的运动,如果定期进行,可以改善我们的健康。
7.答案:depression
解析:考查名词。and 连接并列成分,作cause的宾语。故填depression。
8.答案:a
解析:考查冠词。all of a sudden为固定短语,意为“突然”。故填a。句意:突然,一个软件程序的广告引起了我的注意。
9.答案:be accompanied
解析:考查被动语态。动词accompany与主语they之间是被动关系,所以用被动语态。设空处前有情态动词must,故填be accompanied。句意:12岁以下的儿童不得单独前往湖边;他们必须由家长陪同。
10.答案:being left dislike
解析:后接动词-ing形式作宾语,动词leave与其逻辑主语He之间是被动关系,所以用动词-ing 形式的被动形式,故填 being left。句意:他喜欢朋友们的陪伴,不喜欢独自一人。
二、翻译句子
11.答案:When cooking, she heard a loud noise.
12.答案:The air there is too thin to breathe.
13.答案:I like this singer, whose talent in music attracts me a lot.
14.答案:The moment I listen to his music, I'll forget my sorrow and annoyance.
15.答案:It turns out that music is truly a universal language.
三、阅读理解
16.答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It plays such an important role in our lives that all fields focus on its study”可知人们研究音乐是因为它在我们的生活中起着重要的作用。故选B。
17.答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词the Canadian study定位到文章第二段,根据“children who studied music had the biggest test score improvement”可知学习过音乐的孩子的智商有了最大的改进。故选D。
18.答案:B
解析:细节理解题。第三段中提到“For patients suffering from diseases like Alzheimer's”,其中like一词体现举例说明,由此可知Alzheimer's是一种病。故选B。
19.答案:A
解析:主旨大意题。文章第一段最后一句提到由于我们大脑处理音乐的方式,学习演奏乐器或仅仅听音乐都有很多益处;第二段和第三段分别从教育和医疗两个方面说明由于大脑处理音乐的方式,音乐在这两个方面对我们的益处;最后一段进行总结,并再次点明主旨:音乐对大脑是有好处的。所以A项最适合作文章的标题。
四、七选五
答案:GCFDA
解析:①根据后文"The following are 3 key tricks you may learn to increase your confidence.(你可以学习以下3个关键技巧来增强自信)"可知,后文提到了建立自信的技巧,可见自信是可以培养的。故G选项"事实上,自信并不是与生俱来的,而是随着时间的推移学会的"符合语境,故选G。
②根据上文"Know yourself. Take a long hard look in the mirror and make an honest and accurate assessment of your strengths and weaknesses.(了解自己。认真地长时间地照照镜子,诚实而准确地评估一下自己的优缺点)"以及后文"as this will increase your confidence.(因为这会增加你的自信)"可知,本句是在说明建立优势来增加自信。故C选项"继续建立你的优势"符合语境,故选C。
③根据上文"We all have areas in our professional and personal lives that need to be improved. Ignoring them does not make them go away.(我们在工作和个人生活中都有需要改进的地方。忽视它们并不能让它们消失)"可知,上文提到了忽视需要改进的地方不会让它消失,本句为本段最后一句,故承接上文继续说明其影响:恰恰相反,它只会阻碍你的成功,让你保持低信心。故F选项"恰恰相反,它只会阻碍你的成功,让你保持低信心"符合语境,故选F。
④根据上文"Whether you like it or not, people make judgments about you based upon how you dress. You only have one chance to make a good first impression. From a confidence perspective, how you dress directly reflects how you feel about yourself.(不管你喜不喜欢,人们会根据你的穿着来判断你。你只有一次机会留下好的第一印象。从自信的角度来看,你的穿着直接反映了你对自己的感觉"以及后"if you are wearing a business suit or sweat pants and a T-shirt(如果你穿的是西装或运动裤和T恤)"可知, 后文列举了穿西装或运动裤和T恤两种不同类型的衣服,可知本句旨在说明衣服让自己对自己的不同感觉。故D选项"研究表明,你会对自己有不同的感觉"符合语境,故选D。
⑤根据后文"You can increase your confidence by seeking out one new challenge at a time. Research shows confident people consistently seek out new challenges. Move on to the next one when one challenge is successfully achieved. Success builds upon itself, therefore, success brings success—all fueled by increased confidence!(你可以通过每次接受一个新的挑战来增强自信。 研究表明,自信的人总是寻求新的挑战。当你成功地完成一个挑战时,就可以继续下一个挑战。成功是建立在自己的基础上的,因此,成功带来成功—这一切都是由更大的信心所推动的!)"可知,本段主旨是通过一次次挑战来建立自信,即通过过程来慢慢建立自信。故A选项"慢慢建立自信"符合语境,故选A。

五、重点语法
1. 动词-ing 形式作表语
动词-ing形式做表语可以用来表示主语的特性、状态、情感等,具有形容词的特征。
Your achievements are very inspiring. 你的成就很鼓舞人心。
His work is very interesting. 他的工作很有趣。
注意:
动词-ing形式做表语,常见的有:exciting,interesting,disappointing,discouraging,encouraging,puzzling,missing,surprising,confusing,amusing,charming,astonishing,shocking,inviting等。这些动词-ing形式几乎已经变成了形容词,可以用very修饰。
易混用法 区别 例句
动名词作表语 解释说明主语的内容,主语和表语可以互换 My hobby is playing chess. 我的业余爱好是下棋。
动词-ing作表语 说明主语的性质、特征、状态等,主语和表语不可以互换 The argument is very convincing. 这一论据很有说服力。
2. 动词-ed形式作表语
(1)动词-ed形式做表语,多表示主语所处的状态或所具备的特征,多位于系动词之后。这些系动词有be,remain,feel,seem,look,become等。
(2)有些动词-ed形式做表语时,已经具有了形容词的性质,最常见的有:amazed,delighted,disappointed,discouraged,amused,astonished,lost,crowded,tired,satisfied,pleased,surprised,worried,excited,married,puzzled,upset等。
Later they found that they were lost.
后来他们发现他们迷路了。
We were amazed at the beauty of the lake.
这个湖泊的美使我们感到惊奇。
She was disappointed at the news.
她对这个消息感到失望。
(3)动词-ed形式做表语与被动语态相似,区别在于动词-ed形式做表语表示的是一种状态或特征,而被动语态表示的是一个动作,被动意味很强,后面常跟by短语。比较下面两个句子:
This shop is now closed.
这家商店现在已经关门了。(状态)
This shop is closed at 6 pm every day.
这家商店每天下午6点关门。(动作)

三、阅读理解
Sam Gilliam was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, in 1933 as the seventh child of eight to a father who worked on the railroad and a homemaking mother. He attended the University of Louisville for both bachelor's and master's degrees, but in 1962moved to Washington, D.C., where he lived and had his studio(工作室) for the rest of his life. He became one of the outstanding artists of the Washington Color School—a 1950smovement that attached great importance to large fields of color.
He was very interested in freeing his paintings from the limit of canvases(画布) and frames. Instead, in his Drape works of the 1960s, he took unstretched canvases and hung them from ceilings or pinned them in great waterfalls to walls. Each time his work—part painting, part sculpture—was displayed in an exhibition, it hung differently, never the same way twice.
In a 2018 Morning Edition profile, Gilliam explained that the intention behind his Drape works was "to develop the idea of movement into shapes"—and that he was inspired by laundry(刚洗好的衣物) hanging from a clothesline.
His works are represented in the collections of some of the world's most celebrated museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, Tate Modern in London, and the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris. In 2015, he was awarded the U.S. Department of State's Medal of Arts Lifetime Achievement Award.
In the 2018 Morning Edition profile, then 84-year-oldGilliam said that he felt that he was in his prime, despite health challenges. “I've never felt better in my life. I stopped drinking, and I stopped smoking. I live for this period of being in the studio and actually working."
16.What do we know about Gilliam
A.He leads a 1950s movement. B.He stresses the large areas of color.
C.He has a deep interest in the canvas. D.He likes to exhibit his paintings himself.
17.What causes Gilliam to hang his paintings unusually
A.A detail in daily life. B.His strange imagination.
C.His attention to paintings. D.An idea of movement.
18.What can we infer about Gilliam in the last paragraph
A.He feels bad in his life. B.He loves painting deeply.
C.He makes a living by painting. D.Smoking and drinking are his favorite.
19.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A.Entertainment. B.Health. C.History. D.Culture.
四、七选五
Leonardo da Vinci and Nature
In the modern world, art and science are two dramatically separate activities, but in Leonardo's time they were closely connected. Science meant mathematics and medical studies. ①_______ Mathematics included practical work like surveying land for making maps as well as measuring the movements of the stars in the sky. An artist might need to measure the different parts of the body. He could also use mathematics to place things in relationship to each other in a drawing or painting so the scene looked correct. ②_______
Mathematics is also connected to music because musical sounds have a fixed relationship with each other that can be described in numbers. ③_______ More than this, though, Leonardo believed that numbers were a part of all things in the world, including music, and he said that "without them nothing can be done".
"Mysterious nature has kindly given us things everywhere to copy," wrote Leonardo. In all his activities, Leonardo was trying to discover the rules that controlled nature. In his search for those rules, he looked very carefully at a lot of examples and details. Actual experience was more important to him than the opinion, and he worked from facts to ideas. ④_______ His purpose was to examine the world so he could copy it in beautiful paintings and sculptures. He also wanted to learn from the clever solutions of nature.
⑤_______ His quick little sketches, often done while wandering outside, helped him to catch a movement or a shape. More careful drawings would be done at a desk with a pen and a ruler. In July 2001, a small drawing by Leonardo was sold for $ 12 million. It was the most expensive drawing in the world.
A. Leonardo was always drawing.
B. How could these be connected with art
C. Leonardo was also an influential philosopher.
D. Mathematicians and doctors worked to discover the unknown.
E. Above all, Leonardo wanted to understand how and why things worked.
F. Leonardo himself was a very good musician and liked to play an instrument and sing.
G. You will see a good example of such positioning in the painting of The Last Supper.
答案以及解析
一、语法填空
1.答案:ambitious
解析:考查形容词。设空处修饰名词project,应用形容词作定语。故填ambitious。句意:这个宏大的项目仅仅6个月就完成了。
2.答案:terrified
解析:考查动词-ed 形式作表语。句意:Linda因为被一个陌生人跟踪而感到恐惧。设空处说明Linda的状态,应用动词-ed 形式作表语。故填terrified。
3.答案:be exposed
解析:考查被动语态。分析句子成分可知,设空处作从句的谓语动词,且所给提示词expose与从句主语real name之间是被动关系,所以应用被动语态。故填be exposed。句意:由于意大利的隐私法,“Nicolo”的真实姓名不能公之于众,他完成了在都灵的一家工厂一整晚的工作。
4.答案:pleased
解析:考查-ed形式的形容词作表语。句意:她父母得知她获奖的消息非常高兴。此处应用pleased作表语,修饰主句主语Her parents。故填pleased。
5.答案:amazed
解析:考查-ed形式的形容词作表语。句意:游客们对导游展示的令人惊叹的绘画感到惊奇。主语Visitors指人,所以应用形容词amazed作表语。故填amazed。
6.答案:wandering
解析:考查现在分词。句意:当我2004年回到伦敦时,我发现自己漫步到了南岸,在那里待了几个小时。分析句子成分可知,设空处为“find+宾语+宾补”结构中的宾补,其与宾语myself之间为主动关系,所以应用动词-ing形式作宾补。故填wandering。
7.答案:to
解析:考查固定短语。句意:我们想让孩子们接触尽可能多的艺术和文化。固定短语expose...to...表示“使……接触……”,其中to是介词。故填to。
8.答案:sunburned/sunburnt
解析:句意: 我们都有点晒伤, 但是那天是如此的令人放松, 我们并不在意。此处的get是系动词, we与sunburn是被动关系, 故填过去分词, 构成"get+过去分词"式被动式。get sunburned/sunburnt意为"被晒伤"。
9.答案:seated
解析: 考查过去分词。句意:请坐好,直到飞机完全停下来。seated是动词seat的过去分词与系动词remain构成系表结构,remain seated表状态,意为“坐着不动”。
10.答案:connected
解析: 句意:对于那些与家人相距遥远的人来说,个人电脑和电话在保持联系方面很重要。stay connected保持联系。
二、翻译句子
11.答案:When I arrived home, I saw my mother cooking dinner in the kitchen.
12.答案:The tiger looked so frightening that I dared not touch it.
13.答案:Every time I hear that song, I feel happy.
14.答案:Such a difficult question is it that I can't work it out.
15.答案:While this work is difficult, it is interesting.
三、阅读理解
16.答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“He became...attached great importance to large fields of color.”可知,他重视大面积的色彩。故选B。
17.答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段可知,Gilliam的灵感来自晾衣绳上挂着的衣服。由此可推断,生活中的一个细节使得他挂画的方式与众不同。故选A。
18.答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段最后三句可知,Gilliam觉得自己这辈子从没这么好过,他戒酒了,也戒烟了,他就是为了在工作室里工作而活的。前文提到Gilliam是一名画家,此处介绍了Gilliam在绘画工作上的付出。由此可推断,Gilliam十分热爱绘画。故选B。
19.答案:D
解析:推理判断题。纵观全文,本文主要讲述著名艺术家Sam Gilliam的一生及其在艺术领域中所取得的成就。由此可推断,文章可能出自报纸的文化部分。故选D。
四、七选五
答案:BGFEA
解析:这是一篇说明文。通过对达·芬奇进行艺术创作这一事件进行以下方面的说明:数学、音乐与艺术的关系,以及自然与艺术的关系。
①由设空处前面两句可知,在莱昂纳多的时代,科学与艺术紧密相连。科学意味着数学和医学研究。B项“那这些是如何与艺术相联系的呢 ”符合语境。
②由设空处前的place things和in a drawing or painting可知接下来是对一幅画及其布局的描述。G项“你会看到一个好的例子,在《最后的晚餐》这幅画里(人物)位置的安排。”符合语境。
③本段描述的是与音乐有关的话题,数学与音乐的关系。因此可以推出达·芬奇也应该熟悉并精通音乐。F项“莱昂纳多他自己就是一个非常优秀的音乐家,喜欢演奏乐器和唱歌。”符合语境。
④在设空处前面的描述中可以得知:达·芬奇在探寻这些规则的时候,认真仔细地观察大量的实例和细节。实践经历比起他自己的观点更重要,然后他经常通过事实得出观点。接下来会描述他到底想要做什么。因此E项“首先,莱昂纳多想要理解事物是如何运作的,又为什么会这么运作。”符合语境。
⑤设空处后面的内容主要围绕画画来讲,设空处位于这一段的开头,有总领全段的作用,故A项“莱昂纳多总是画画。”符合语境。

三、阅读理解
On Friday night, Annika was swimming in Howe Sound off Bowyer Island in Canada. As she swam, she ran her hands through the dark water, admiring the beautiful sea. It was only when she was back on shore that she noticed her wedding ring was missing. "She turned the room inside out," said Crockett, Annika's husband, whose grandmother got the ring in 1944, and later passed it down to him.
The next morning, Annika contacted local diving schools, hoping someone would search for the ring. "I just sent a few emails," she said. "But I didn't think they'd be open or answering emails. Fortunately, someone did. And they arrived an hour later.
The search was not easy, though. Crockett said the two divers searched the bottom of the ocean for an hour and a half. "They'd given up hope and they were actually swimming back, but then they spotted a baby octopus(章鱼)," he said. "They followed it for just a few seconds and then it led them to the ring."
"Amazing," said Annika. "Octopuses actually like bright things, from what I've heard." This was confirmed by Chris Harley, who studies animals and their behavior. "Octopuses do like to collect various objects and leave them out in front of their homes," he said.
The ring is now safely back on Annika's finger, and she's promised not to swim with it on again. But there was one other interesting moment in their engagement(订婚) story. When Crockett asked Annika to marry him, a whale showed up in the water near them. "I do think his grandma was part of this: a guardian angel(守护天使)," said Annika.
16.What was Annika's immediate reaction when she found her ring missing
A. She contacted local divers. B. She went back to the shore.
C. She searched her room for it. D. She apologized to her husband.
17.What do we know about the divers
A. They were ready to leave empty-handed at first.
B. They actually came across the ring on the shore.
C. They found the ring after catching the octopus.
D. They stayed in the sea for more than 2 hours.
18.What might Chris Harley think of the act of the octopus
A.Silly. B. Logical. C. Unique. D. Surprising.
19.What is the main idea of the text
A. A couple had a special guardian angel.
B. A wedding ring was lost but found again.
C. A couple talked about their engagement story.
D. An octopus helped a couple find their lost ring.

Choose a specific theme
Like any other type of literary work, your poem will need a specific theme. You can’t write a poem effectively if you don’t have a set theme. A theme will give your work both focus and a set goal. ③_________. It could be about loss, love, hate, greed, etc. Your theme could also be about a very specific event in your life, such as your first love or a broken relationship.
Read it aloud
During the writing process, it is important that you check how your poem sounds. ④_________.However, it may sound awkward or lacking once you read it aloud. So take the time to read your work aloud. Read it aloud after each stanza (诗节). If you want to be more thorough, you could read it aloud to family and friends.
Polish it up
After you have your poem critiqued (评论), now is the time to polish it up. Take their advice and make any changes to the wordplay or word usage. If you see any clunky wordplay in your work, try to smoothen them out. Remember that poetry should have a flow, an almost lyrical feel.

F. It is still a very satisfying feeling to create great works of poetry
G. Think of them as references that will expand your horizons as a poet
答案以及解析
一、语法填空
1.答案:approaching
解析:考查动词-ing形式作宾语补足语。句意:突然,我看见一个高大的身影正向警察靠近。根据语境可知,动词see后接动词-ing形式作宾语补足语,表示“看到某人正在做某事”。故填approaching。
2.答案:to
解析:考查固定搭配。be contradictory to意为“与……相矛盾”。故填to。
3.答案:frozen
解析:考查形容词。句意:打扰一下,您能告诉我在哪里能找到一些冷冻水饺吗 dumplings是名词,应用形容词修饰。故填frozen,表示“冷冻的”。
4.答案:constantly
解析:考查副词。句意:我们要不断地鞭策自己努力学习。urge是动词,应用副词修饰。故填constantly。
5.答案:rewarding
解析:句意为: 很多专家提倡对孩子的良好表现进行奖励。advocate意为"提倡", 后常接动名词作宾语, 故此处填rewarding。
6.答案:sunburned/sunburnt
解析:句意: 我们都有点晒伤, 但是那天是如此的令人放松, 我们并不在意。此处的get是系动词, we与sunburn是被动关系, 故填过去分词, 构成"get+过去分词"式被动式。get sunburned/sunburnt意为"被晒伤"。
7.答案:making
解析:考查非谓语动词。句意: 后来, 他们学会了因地制宜, 在适当的时间播种, 在干旱地区, 利用每年的洪水来灌溉农田。分析句子可知, make所处的分句中无主语, 故此处需用非谓语动词。make和逻辑主语they之间是主动关系。所以此处用现在分词形式作状语。plant与make是并列的动作, planting已经给出提示, 所以抓住主干是本题的关键点。
8.答案:surrounding
解析:句意为: 并且, 当他看到江面上升腾的薄雾和环绕着山顶的轻柔的云时, 他流下了眼泪。分析句子结构并结合语境可知, 设空处为后置定语, 修饰the soft clouds, 且与其之间为逻辑上的主动关系, 应用现在分词, 故填surrounding。
9.答案:recognizing
解析:考查with的复合结构。with的复合结构在本句中作伴随情况状语,介词with的宾语countries与动词recognize(承认、认可)之间为主动关系,用动词的现在分词形式.故填recognizing。
10.答案:decorated
解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:它们是很好的礼物,你会经常看到它们装饰着红包和好运的信息。句中them指代前句中的great gifts, 与decorate之间为被动关系, 所以用过去分词作宾语补足语。故填decorated。
二、翻译句子
11.答案:Even if we can't agree with each other, we are still good friends.
12.答案:It is believed that it began in England in the early nineteenth century.
13.答案:As they entered, they found a box placed in the center.
14.答案:We can benefit a lot from Tang poetry, so let's learn it together.
15.答案:It turns out that the event organized to raise people’s awareness of environmental protection has achieved the desired effect.
三、阅读理解
16.答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It was only when she was back on shore that she noticed her wedding ring was missing. ‘She turned the room inside out,’ said Crockett”可知,Annika回到岸上才发现戒指不见了,她的丈夫说她翻遍了房间的各个角落,由此可知,在发现戒指丢失后她的第一反应是在房间内搜寻它。
17.答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They'd given up hope and they were actually swimming back”可知,在海底搜寻了一个半小时后,这些潜水者本来都放弃希望,要游回来了,由此可知,他们本来都要空手而归了。
18.答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段中的Chris Harley的话“Octopuses do like to collect various objects and leave them out in front of their homes”可知,他知道章鱼喜爱搜集各种东西,放在住处前面,由此可推断,他认为这只章鱼的行为是合乎常理的。
19.答案:D
解析:主旨大意题。阅读文章可知,本文主要讲述了一只章鱼帮助一对夫妻找回戒指的趣事,故选D项。
四、七选五
答案:①-⑤BGDCE
解析:①段落大意题。根据下文Before you start the writing process, you should make sure that you read as many great poems as possible.(在你开始写作之前,你应该确保你读了尽可能多的好诗)可知,这一段是建议在开始写诗前,要多读好诗。由此可知,选项B"Read great poems(读好诗)"和下文—致,符合语境。故选B项。
②推理判断题。根据上文This does not mean that you should copy their work of course.(当然,这并不意味着你应该抄袭他们的作品)可知,此处是建议在读优秀的诗歌,但是不要复制抄袭。由此可知,选项G"Think of them as references that will expand your horizons as a poet(把它们当作参考,可以扩展你作为诗人的视野)"指出把读过的诗当做参考,拓展视野,和下文上文一致,符合语境。故选G项。
③推理判断题。根据下文It could be about loss, love, hate, greed, etc. Your theme could also be about a very specific event in your life, such as your first love or a broken relationship.(它可能是关于失去、爱、恨、贪婪等。你的主题也可能是关于你生活中的一个非常具体的事件,比如你的初恋或破裂的关系)可知,这一段作者建议选定主题,但是主题的范围特别广泛。由此可知,选项D"Your theme can be practically anything under the sun(你的主题可以是太阳下的任何东西)“也指明主题范围很宽,和下文一致,符合语境。故选D项。
④推理判断题。根据下文However, it may sound awkward or lacking once you read it aloud.(然而,一旦你大声朗读,它可能听起来很尴尬或缺乏什么)可知,这一段建议写完诗后要读出来听听。且这一句话用转折副词however"然而"与上文连接,说明上文应该是指出:所写的诗读起来感觉很不错。由此可知,选项C"It may seem perfect when your reading it (当你读它时,它似乎是完美的)"和下文存在转折关系,符合语境。故选C项。
⑤段落大意题。根据下文However, once you put these poetry tips for beginners into practice, you'll be able to create quality poetry in no time.(然而,一旦你将这些针对初学者的诗歌技巧付诸实践,你将能够在短时间内创作出高质量的诗歌)可知,此处作者指出只要认真按照本文提供的建议学习写诗,很快就能写出好诗。且这一句话用转折副词however"然而"与上文连接,说明上文应该是指出:最开始学写诗很难很慢。选项E"Learning how to write poetry can be slow-going at first(最开始学习写诗,可能速度会很慢)"和下文形成转折关系,符合语境。故选E项。

四、重点用法
1. make+宾语+宾语补足语结构
make 在此处用作使动词,其宾语通常是名词或代词,宾语补足语用名词形容词
不带 to 的不定式过去分词等。
(1)make +名词/代词+名词,表示“使某人/某物成为……”,如果宾语补足语是表
示独一无二的职位或头衔的名词,其前不用冠词。
Make your enemy your friend.
化敌为友。
We made him captain of our team.
我们让他当队长
(2)make+名词/代词+形容词,表示“使某人/某物……”。

他的话让我们都大笑起来。

构成过去分词的动词与宾语(名词/代词)之间是逻辑上的动宾关系。
I speak slowly to make myself understood.
我说得很慢,以便别人能听懂我的话。
注意:make后的宾语补足语不能用现在分词。
2. as引导的时间状语从句
as引导时间状语从句时,意为“当……时,随着”,强调主从句的谓语动词所表示的动作同时进行。

火锅的辛辣味增加了我们的欢声笑语,使这顿饭成了和朋友一起放松的最佳方式。
五、重点语法
1. which 引导的非限制性定语从句
(1)which 引导非限制性定语从句时,先行词既可为单个的名词或代词,也可为前面的整个句子。
(2)which引导非限制性定语从句时在定语从句中可以做主语、宾语或表语,且不能省略。

2. 现在分词(短语)做结果状语
用法:(1)语法含义:表示自然而然的结果或意料之中的结果,现在分词前有时可加 thus以示强调。
(2)时态特征:现在分词表示的动作发生在谓语动词所表示的动作之后,因此做结
果状语的现在分词用一般式。
(3)逻辑主语:句子的主语或现在分词前的整个句子。当现在分词的逻辑主语为前
面的整个句子时,其作用相当于一个非限制性定语从句。
(4)位置:一般位于句末,且常用逗号与前面的句子成分隔开。
(5)扩展性:一般可转化为 so that 引导的结果状语从句。
A number of new machines were introduced, thus resulting in an increase in production.

= He did his homework carelessly so that he made a lot of mistakes

3. 动词不定式作主语和表语
(1)动词不定式作主语
①动词不定式作主语时,一般表示具体的或一次性的动作。作主语的不定式有时态和语态的变化,且谓语动词通常用单数。
To finish this job in one day is impossible.
要在一天之内完成这项工作是不可能的。(表示具体的情况)
注意:很多情况下,作主语的动词不定式都可以用动名词替代,但表示某些具体情况,或表示较强烈的对比,或在某些固定说法中时,通常不用动名词替代。
To err is human.人非圣贤,孰能无过。
To know everything is to know nothing. 样样皆通,样样稀松。
②若不定式太长,则往往用it代替不定式作形式主语,不定式移至谓语之后,以使句子结构平衡。其常见句型有以下4种:
1) It +be+形容词+(for/of sb.) to do sth.
2) It+be+名词+ to do sth.
3) It takes (sb.) some time to do sth.
4) It made sb. + adj. + to do sth.

It made me relaxed to know that I have passed the exam. 了解到我通过了考试,我感到很轻松。
(2)动词不定式作表语
①动词不定式作表语,可以说明主语的具体内容,还可以表示目的、结果、安排、命令、决定、劝告、意愿等,其主语通常为task,aim,purpose,wish,dream,duty,plan,hope,job,problem等名词,或是what引导的名词性从句。不定式作表语时,主语和表语有时可以交换位置,其意思不变。
I've had many dreams since I was a kid. Now my dream is to open a cafe.
我从小就有很多梦想。现在我的梦想是开一家咖啡馆。
The important thing in life is to have a great aim, and the determination to attain it.
人生重要的事是有一个伟大的目标,以及实现它的决心。
What I would suggest is to start work at once.
我建议马上开始工作。
②动词不定式作表语省略to的情况
动词不定式作表语时,一般情况下不定式符号to不能省略,但当主语部分含有从句且从句谓语部分有实义动词do的某种形式时,作表语的不定式符号to可以省略。
All we need to do is (to) live each day with passion.
我们需要做的就是充满激情地过好每一天。
Don't worry. What you need to do is (to) have a good sleep.
别担心,你需要做的就是好好睡一觉。
(3)动词不定式作主语和表语的注意事项
①动词不定式前通常可以加上for引导的短语,表示不定式的逻辑主语。
It would make me very happy for her to win the election.
如果她赢得选举,我会很高兴。
It only takes a few seconds for the computer to solve such a complicated problem.
只需要几秒钟计算机就可以解决这样复杂的问题。
注意:
在"It+be+形容词+(for/of sb.)to do sth."句型中,for或of均可引出不定式的逻辑主语,其区别为:如果形容词描述的是人的品质、品格,介词用of;如果形容词描述不定式所表示动作的特征,介词用for。
It's also hugely important for parents to know which apps their children are using.
对父母来说,知道孩子在使用哪些应用程序也非常重要。
It was kind of Harry to give up his seat in the bus to the old woman.
哈里真善良,在公共汽车上把座位让给了那位老太太。
②动词不定式作主语和表语时,可以有时态、语态的变化。

三、阅读理解
McDonald's food holds plenty of secrets, and Chicken McNuggets(麦乐鸡块) are no exception. The boxed, bite-size pieces of chicken are one of the fast food producer's most popular menu items. But there's something even the most devoted chicken nugget(鸡块) consumers may not know: every nugget that comes out of McDonald's is guaranteed to be one of four different shapes.
Don't worry though, it's not some strange chicken plot. It's the result of a carefully planned process that occurs in McDonald's factories. A Business Insider video, using continuous shooting mode from a McDonald's factory in Canada, offers an inside look into chicken nugget production. Before it goes to the fryer, the ground chicken breast meat that will become Chicken McNuggets goes through a "rolling cookie cutter" machine. The cutter ensures that the nuggets-to-be are all in the same width and one of four shapes. The shapes are the "boot," the "bell," the "ball," and the "bone" (or "bow tie").
But just how different are the four shapes How do you tell your boots from your bow ties Well, the ball is round, as you might expect. The bone/bow tie looks less like either of those things than like a somewhat bent rectangle(矩形). The bell is diamond-shaped, and the boot really does look somewhat like a wide boot with a thin toe.(Or like a hook, if you turn it over.) Though the shapes are somewhat less different after the batter(面糊) is added, see if you can still identify them the next time you get your Chicken McNuggets.
But why they have special shapes A curious consumer posed the question. A company representative replied that the shapes and their similar sizes ensure that they all take the same time to cook, which is necessary to ensure food safety. Plus, the shapes are fun for kids, and easy to dip for everyone!
And why is four the lucky number Well, the Q&A page claims that "Three would've been too few. Five would've been, like, silly or unreasonable." Honestly, though, we doubt McDonald's consumers would have really cared either way.
16. How are Chicken McNuggets' shapes formed
A. They are processed by a cutting machine.
B. The four shapes are made by machine freely.
C. Some batter is added to the chicken breast meat.
D. They are the natural forms of the chicken breast meat.
17. What do we know about the shapes of McDonald's Chicken McNuggets
A. The ball and the bell are of the same size.
B. The bone shape is most attractive to small kids.
C. The regular shapes make processing easier and safer.
D. The different shapes can arouse people's imagination.
18. What is the author's attitude to the number four of McDonald's Chicken McNuggets
A. Positive. B. Disapproving. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned.
19. What is the text mainly about
A. The history of McDonald's Chicken McNuggets.
B. A warning against eating McDonald's Chicken McNuggets.
C. The introduction of McDonald's Chicken McNuggets' four shapes.
D. An explanation of the processing of McDonald's Chicken McNuggets.
四、七选五
Cooking is one of the most pleasant and important human activities. However, preparing meals is more of a trouble now than a way to celebrate being alive.①____
Start with a plan, which you can find online. Choose whichever day of the week appropriate for your schedule to buy groceries, and use that as your starting point each week. Remember, it doesn't have to be Sunday or Monday. ②____ Avoiding the two days will save you a great amount of time and gas money.
③____With this in mind, you'd better check what you have in the fridge and use those as a base to process first to prevent them from going bad! Save your weekly grocery trips for fresh stuff like tomatoes, eggs, and other things that will go bad more quickly.
Make the most of money. Buy ingredients that can be used in many meals. ④____ Plus, it's kind of a fun puzzle to see how many ways you can use one ingredient. For example, I love Latin and Asian foods, so I keep things like rice, bell peppers, garlic, and hot sauce on hand at all times.
Cook with others. Who said you had to make all the preparations yourself Get a group of friends to make several different dishes. You'll try something new and get meal inspirations. The goal here is to make life easier.⑤____
A. Use fresh ingredients first.
B. Try to avoid wasting food.
C. The traffic is too heavy on the two days.
D. Buy items you often use in great amounts.
E. This will keep your taste satisfied and your wallet happy.
F. And that can give you the freedom of mind to enjoy your food.
G. Thankfully, there are lots of small ways you can make cooking easier.
答案以及解析
一、语法填空
1.答案:combination
解析:考查名词。根据a和of可知此处应用名词,故填combination。句意:对他的治疗是把手术、放射疗法和药物治疗结合为一体。
2.答案:emotional
解析:考查词性转换。句意:母亲通常是为家庭提供精神支持的人。空格后面的support为名词,所以应用形容词emotional修饰。
3.答案:to get
解析:句意为:在我们去那座房子的路上,雨下得很大,我们不禁想知道要花多长时间才能到那里。"it takes+一段时间+to do sth"为固定句型,意为"做某事需要多长时间",it作形式主语,不定式短语为真正的主语。故填to get。
4.答案:to blame
解析:句意:我觉得这个孩子被宠坏应该怪你丈夫。blame的不定式作表语时,用主动形式表示被动意义, be to blame应受责备。
5.答案:to have gone
解析:句意为:发动机无法发动,好像出了毛病。seem意为“好像”,后加不定式作宾语,此处用to have gone表示动作已经发生。
6.答案:innovation
解析:考查名词。句意:中央机关应该支持海南大胆改革和创新,努力争取在港口建设方面取得新成就。连词and连接并列的名词作动词support的宾语。故填innovation。innovation作“创新”讲时为不可数名词。
7.答案:are linked
解析:考查时态、语态和主谓一致。that 从句中缺少谓语动词,link 与主语certain diseases 之间是被动关系,此处陈述的是客观事实,所以用一般现在时的被动语态。故填are linked。
8.答案:to enhance
解析:考查动词不定式。what 引导主语从句,此处表示具体的动作,应接动词不定式作表语。故填to enhance。句意:我现在迫切需要的是提高自己的综合能力。
9.答案:to stick
解析:考查动词不定式。此处为“It is+形容词+to do sth.”句型,其中It为形式主语,不定式短语为真正的主语,故填to stick。句意:重要的是要坚持并为之努力。
10.答案:entitling
解析:考查非谓语动词。句意:当钱增长到一定程度,我们去银行开了帐户,让银行职员帮我们数钱。entitle是动词,意为:授予某人权利。分析句子可知,entitle与前面的谓语动词没有连词连接,因此要用entitle的非谓语动词形式。entitle与we之间是主动关系,应用现在分词形式。故填entitling。
二、翻译句子

13.答案:Not only is he a teacher, but he is also a poet.

三、阅读理解
16.答案:A
解析:细节理解题。由第二段中的“the ground chicken breast meat that will become Chicken McNuggets goes through a ‘rolling cookie cutter’ machine”可知,麦乐鸡块的形状是由切割机加工而成的。故选A。
17.答案:C
解析:细节理解题。由第四段第三句可知,这些形状和它们相似的尺寸确保了它们都需要相同的时间来烹饪,这是确保食品安全所必需的。所以麦乐鸡块规则的形状使加工更容易、更安全。故选C。
18.答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知,我们不能肯定麦当劳的消费者真的会在意这两种情况。由此可推知,作者认为消费者可能并不在意形状的数量,作为消费者的一员,作者也并不关心。故选D。
19.答案:C
解析:主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章以“麦乐鸡块的四种形状”为中心,介绍了它们的制作方式、不同之处,所以C项“麦乐鸡块的四种形状的介绍”符合文章主旨。故选C。
四、七选五
答案:①-⑤ GCBEF
解析:①过渡句。根据上一句可知,现在做饭与其说是庆祝活着的一种方式,不如说是一种麻烦;结合下文介绍的方法可推知,G项承上启下,引出下面几个解决麻烦的小方法,符合语境。故选G。
②细节句。根据上一句可知,买食品杂货不一定要在周日或周一,结合选项可知C项解释了不能选择这两天的原因,承接上文,符合语境。C项中the two days指代的是上文的Sunday or Monday。故选C。
③主旨句。根据下一句可知,要检查一下冰箱里有什么,把它们作为首先要处理的东西,防止它们变质。此处强调的是先处理冰箱中易变质的物品,这样可以避免浪费。所以B项引起下文,符合本段主旨。故选B。
④细节句。本段主旨句表示要充分利用金钱。根据设空处上一句可知,要购买可以在很多餐中使用的食材。由此可知此处强调的是要在购买食材过程中省钱。E项承接上文,解释了购买可以在很多餐中使用的食材的好处,E项中的This指代的就是上文的“购买可以在很多餐中使用的食材”这件事。故选E。
⑤细节句。根据上文可知,此处说明通过和其他人共同准备食材,一起做饭,让生活更轻松。结合选项可知,F项承接上文,强调最终的结果是可以轻松地享受美食,符合语境。故选F。
