There was once a boy called Mario who loved to have lots of friends at school. However, he wasn’t sure whether or not his schoolmates were his real friends, so he asked his grandpa for help. The old man told him, “I just have what you exactly need, and it’s in the attic (阁楼). Wait here a minute.” Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. “Take it. It’s a very special chair. It’s rather tricky to sit on because it’s invisible (无形的), but if you take it to school and you try to sit on it. you’ll be able to tell who your real friends are.” Grandpa said.
Mario was curious to know whether it was true or not, so he took the strange invisible chair and set off for school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. “Nobody move! You’re about to see something amazing.”
Then Mario tried to sit on the chair. But he missed and fell down onto his back. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. Mario wouldn’t be beaten. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair, and kept falling to the ground…until, suddenly, he tried again and didn’t fall. This time he sat, hovering (悬浮) in mid-air…
Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas and Diana—three of his best friends, holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall down. Meanwhile, many others he had thought of as friends had done nothing but make fun of him, enjoying his every fall.
Leaving with his three friends, he explained to them how his grandfather had so cleverly thought of a way to show him that true friends are those who care for us, and not just any acquaintance (熟人) who happens to be passing by. Even less would a friend be someone who takes joy in our misfortunes.
4. Why did Mario turn to his grandpa for help
A. He couldn’t make any friends. B. He didn’t get along with his schoolmates.
C He didn’t like his school. D. He couldn’t find out who his true friends were.
5. What did Mario’s grandpa take from the attic
A. An invisible chair. B. An old chair.
C. A real chair. D. Nothing.
6. Why was Mario able to hover in the mid-air
A. Because he managed to sit on the invisible chair finally.
B. Because his three friends held him up with their hands.
C. Because his classmates gave him a chair to sit on.
D. Because he could see the magic chair clearly.
7. Who are real friends according to the text
A. Those who laugh with us.
B. Those who take joy in our misfortunes.
C. Those who care about us when we are in trouble.
D. Those who care for us when we are popular at school.

Last Friday, a special thing took place at the National Theater of Korea. A robot called EveR 6 led an orchestra (管弦乐队) in a performance of Korean music. Robots have led orchestras in other countries, but this was the first time ever in Korea.
EveR 6 is a robot built by the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology (KITECH). It’s about as tall as a person, and has a human-like face that can show feelings. EveR 6 has joints (关节) in its neck, shoulders, etc. As a result, it can move its arms quickly in many different directions.
But EveR 6 doesn’t think on its own like some Artificial Intelligence programs. Instead, it has a limited group of movements that it has been trained to perform. To make these movements as natural as possible, EveR 6’s movements are learnt from real human conductors.
When EveR 6 moved its baton (指挥棒) for the first time, a piece of music rang out. Every movement of the robot’s arms brought more instruments into the mix, and the orchestra’s music grew louder and more exciting. Mr White, a human conductor, was impressed with the way EveR 6 moved. “The robot was able to present such difficult moves much better than I had imagined,” he said.
But the robot still is not nearly ready to supersede a human conductor. Mr White says the robot’s greatest weakness is that it can’t hear. “Some people think that conducting is just about hand waving and keeping the beat,” says Mr White. But a good conductor needs to listen to the orchestra, so that he or she can correct and encourage the orchestra as it plays.
Mr White doesn’t think robots are likely to replace human conductors. But he believes robots could be helpful in situations like practice parts where the same thing needs to be done many times.
8 What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The effect of EveR 6. B. The advantage of EveR 6.
C. The importance of EveR 6. D. The basic information of EveR 6.
9. What does the underlined word “supersede” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Look forward to. B. Show interest in.
C. Take the place of. D. Make an impression on.
10. Which of the following may Mr White agree with
A. Robots’ role as a conductor will be overlooked.
B. Robots could work in some fields of conductors’ work.
C. Robots are useless in practice parts of a conductor.
D. Robots will replace human conductors.
11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Science. B. Sports. C. Health. D. Education.
D
There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think. On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our families often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.
On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of cultural identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride in their culture and means of coping with homesickness.
Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavour can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes in the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavours that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.
We should not only embrace our heritage (传统) through our culture’s food, but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window on culture, and it should be treated as such.
12. What’s the function of food mentioned in the text
A. To help motivate homesickness.
B. To show cultural identity.
C. To reflect a country’s history.
D. To show a community’s superiority.
13. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The specific traditional food.
B. The national culture.
C. A traditional expression of food.
D. The old-fashioned taste.
14. Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurants
A. To attach cultural importance to their dishes.
B. To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.
C. To make the dishes popular among customers.
D. To present their own food culture in a new way.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards different food cultures
A. Negative.
B. Balanced.
C. Unfair.
D. Unchangeable.

In the spare time, Mrs Green always asked her sons, Alan and John to help their neighbor, Ms Maud, to clean her house because she was too old to do it herself. They helped Ms Maud throughout the spring.
Summer vacation just began. The two brothers planned to play tennis with friends every day, so they could make the freshman team. However, Alan’s racket (球拍) was lost, which disappointed him a lot.
As usual, Alan and John came to Ms Maud’s house to help her. They went down the block to the Ms Maud’s and got started. Before cleaning, John put boxes that were thrown around the garage (车库) floor on shelves. When John put a big box on a shelf, he found a tennis racket in the box. It was a new racket, which was exactly what Alan wanted.
“You’ve got to see this.” John took out the tennis racket and showed it to Alan.
“Whoa, where did you get that ” Alan asked. John pointed to the shelf, “It was just in the box over there.” Alan continued to say, “It is so beautiful. My tennis racket was missing. If we take it, I believe no one will ever know.” He looked at the garage door, which was closed.
But John didn’t think it’s a good idea, “Well, we do a lot of things for Ms Maud and don’t get paid. It’s not really stealing. It’s a kind of payment for our hard work,” said Alan. Without hesitation (犹豫), John looked at the racket, took it from Alan’s hand and put it back in the box.
“Hello, boys.” At that time, Ms Maud walked into the garage, surprising them. “I’ve made a cake. Can you come in for a piece I really appreciate all the things you do for me.” “Ugh... sure, Ms Maud,” said John. “Let us finish up and we’ll be right in.” Ms Maud went back to her house.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

There was once a boy called Mario who loved to have lots of friends at school. However, he wasn’t sure whether or not his schoolmates were his real friends, so he asked his grandpa for help. The old man told him, “I just have what you exactly need, and it’s in the attic (阁楼). Wait here a minute.” Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. “Take it. It’s a very special chair. It’s rather tricky to sit on because it’s invisible (无形的), but if you take it to school and you try to sit on it. you’ll be able to tell who your real friends are.” Grandpa said.
Mario was curious to know whether it was true or not, so he took the strange invisible chair and set off for school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. “Nobody move! You’re about to see something amazing.”
Then Mario tried to sit on the chair. But he missed and fell down onto his back. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. Mario wouldn’t be beaten. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair, and kept falling to the ground…until, suddenly, he tried again and didn’t fall. This time he sat, hovering (悬浮) in mid-air…
Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas and Diana—three of his best friends, holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall down. Meanwhile, many others he had thought of as friends had done nothing but make fun of him, enjoying his every fall.
Leaving with his three friends, he explained to them how his grandfather had so cleverly thought of a way to show him that true friends are those who care for us, and not just any acquaintance (熟人) who happens to be passing by. Even less would a friend be someone who takes joy in our misfortunes.
4. Why did Mario turn to his grandpa for help
A. He couldn’t make any friends. B. He didn’t get along with his schoolmates.
C. He didn’t like his school. D. He couldn’t find out who his true friends were.
5. What did Mario’s grandpa take from the attic
A. An invisible chair. B. An old chair.
C. A real chair. D. Nothing.
6. Why was Mario able to hover in the mid-air
A. Because he managed to sit on the invisible chair finally.
B. Because his three friends held him up with their hands.
C. Because his classmates gave him a chair to sit on.
D. Because he could see the magic chair clearly.
7. Who are real friends according to the text
A. Those who laugh with us.
B. Those who take joy in our misfortunes.
C. Those who care about us when we are in trouble.
D. Those who care for us when we are popular at school.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。Mario不确定究竟谁是他真正的朋友，他的祖父教给他一个办法，用一把“无形的椅子”去测试谁才是他真正的朋友，只有他三个最好的朋友托起他使他不摔倒，于是他明白了嘲笑他不幸的人不是真正的朋友。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“However, he wasn’t sure whether or not his schoolmates were his real friends, so he asked his grandpa for help.(然而，他不确定他的同学是否是他真正的朋友，所以他向祖父寻求帮助)”可知，因为不确定谁是自己真正的朋友，所以Mario才向祖父求助。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there.(祖父走了，很快就回来了，好像手里拿着什么东西，但马里奥什么也看不见)”可知，祖父从阁楼回来时没有拿任何东西。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas and Diana—three of his best friends, holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall down.(环顾四周，马里奥看到乔治、卢卡斯和戴安娜——他最好的三个朋友，把他托起来，这样他就不会摔倒了)”可知，是他的三个最好的朋友托起他，他才没有再次跌倒。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Leaving with his three friends, he explained to them how his grandfather had so cleverly thought of a way to show him that true friends are those who care for us, and not just any acquaintance who happens to be passing by.(和他的三个朋友一起离开时，他向他们解释了他的祖父是如何聪明地想出一种方法来向他表明，真正的朋友是那些关心我们的人，而不仅仅是任何碰巧路过的熟人)”可知，真正的朋友是关心我们的人，而不仅仅是我们人生的过客，所以可以推出真正的朋友是那些在我们遇到麻烦时关心我们的人。故选C。

Last Friday, a special thing took place at the National Theater of Korea. A robot called EveR 6 led an orchestra (管弦乐队) in a performance of Korean music. Robots have led orchestras in other countries, but this was the first time ever in Korea.
EveR 6 is a robot built by the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology (KITECH). It’s about as tall as a person, and has a human-like face that can show feelings. EveR 6 has joints (关节) in its neck, shoulders, etc. As a result, it can move its arms quickly in many different directions.
But EveR 6 doesn’t think on its own like some Artificial Intelligence programs. Instead, it has a limited group of movements that it has been trained to perform. To make these movements as natural as possible, EveR 6’s movements are learnt from real human conductors.
When EveR 6 moved its baton (指挥棒) for the first time, a piece of music rang out. Every movement of the robot’s arms brought more instruments into the mix, and the orchestra’s music grew louder and more exciting. Mr White, a human conductor, was impressed with the way EveR 6 moved. “The robot was able to present such difficult moves much better than I had imagined,” he said.
But the robot still is not nearly ready to supersede a human conductor. Mr White says the robot’s greatest weakness is that it can’t hear. “Some people think that conducting is just about hand waving and keeping the beat,” says Mr White. But a good conductor needs to listen to the orchestra, so that he or she can correct and encourage the orchestra as it plays.
Mr White doesn’t think robots are likely to replace human conductors. But he believes robots could be helpful in situations like practice parts where the same thing needs to be done many times.
8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The effect of EveR 6. B. The advantage of EveR 6.
C. The importance of EveR 6. D. The basic information of EveR 6.
9. What does the underlined word “supersede” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Look forward to. B. Show interest in.
C. Take the place of. D. Make an impression on.
10. Which of the following may Mr White agree with
A. Robots’ role as a conductor will be overlooked.
B. Robots could work in some fields of conductors’ work.
C. Robots are useless in practice parts of a conductor.
D. Robots will replace human conductors.
11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear
A. Science. B. Sports. C. Health. D. Education.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是机器人音乐指挥家EveR 6。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“EveR 6 is a robot built by the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology (KITECH). It’s about as tall as a person, and has a human-like face that can show feelings. EveR 6 has joints (关节) in its neck, shoulders, etc.(EveR 6是由韩国产业技术研究院(KITECH)制造的机器人。它和人一样高，有一张像人一样的脸，可以表达感情。EveR 6的脖子、肩膀等部位都有关节)”可知，本段介绍了EveR 6的制造商，它的身高，有一张像人一样的脸，它的脖子、肩膀等部位还有关节，由此可知，本段介绍的是EveR 6的基本信息。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词后的“Mr White says the robot’s greatest weakness is that it can’t hear.(怀特先生说，这个机器人最大的弱点是它听不到声音)”以及“But a good conductor needs to listen to the orchestra, so that he or she can correct and encourage the orchestra as it plays.(但是一个好的指挥需要倾听乐队，这样他或她才能在乐队演奏时纠正和鼓励乐队)”可知，EveR 6最大的弱点是它也听不到声音，但是，一个好的指挥需要倾听乐队，所以这个机器人远未准备好取代人类指挥，由此可知，该单词的意思应与“取代”意义接近。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据尾段中的“Mr White doesn’t think robots are likely to replace human conductors. But he believes robots could be helpful in situations like practice parts where the same thing needs to be done many times.(怀特先生认为机器人不太可能取代人类指挥。但他认为，在需要多次做同一件事的练习部分等情况下，机器人可能会有所帮助)”可知，怀特先生认为机器人不会取代人类指挥，但可以在需要重复训练的情况中会有帮助，由此可知，怀特先生应该赞成“机器人可以从事某些领域的指挥工作”。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段中的“Last Friday, a special thing took place at the National Theater of Korea. A robot called EveR 6 led an orchestra (管弦乐队) in a performance of Korean music. Robots have led orchestras in other countries, but this was the first time ever in Korea.(上周五，韩国国家剧院发生了一件特别的事情。一个名为EveR 6的机器人在一场韩国音乐表演中指挥了一个管弦乐队。机器人指挥管弦乐队在其他国家也有过，但这是韩国有史以来的第一次)”可知，一个名为EveR 6的机器人在一场音乐表演中指挥一个管弦乐队，这在韩国尚属首次，由此可知，本文介绍的是担任音乐指挥的机器人，由此可知，文章可能出自报纸中的科学部分。故选A项。

There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think. On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our families often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.
On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of cultural identity. Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride in their culture and means of coping with homesickness.
Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavour can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes in the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavours that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.
We should not only embrace our heritage (传统) through our culture’s food, but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window on culture, and it should be treated as such.
12. What’s the function of food mentioned in the text
A. To help motivate homesickness.
B. To show cultural identity.
C. To reflect a country’s history.
D. To show a community’s superiority.
13. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. The specific traditional food.
B. The national culture.
C. A traditional expression of food.
D. The old-fashioned taste.
14. Why do some immigrants have to change the original dishes in their restaurants
A. To attach cultural importance to their dishes.
B. To announce the beginning of their life on foreign soil.
C. To make the dishes popular among customers.
D. To present their own food culture in a new way.
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards different food cultures
A. Negative.
B. Balanced.
C Unfair.
D. Unchangeable.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要论述了传统食物是文化的重要组成部分，每一道菜都是了解文化的一扇窗户。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It also operates as an expression of cultural identity.”（它也是一种文化身份的表达。）可知，食物可以展示文化身份。故选B项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of cultural identity.”（在很大程度上，传统食物是文化的重要组成部分。它也是一种文化身份的表达。）可知在讲述传统食物；本句“Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride in their culture and means of coping with homesickness.”（移民走到哪里都会带着it，它是他们文化自豪的象征，也是应对乡愁的手段。）分析可知本句也是在讲述传统食物，说它是文化自豪的象征，是应对乡愁的手段，与前面说的它是文化的组成部分，是文化身份的表达这种说法相呼应，故划线单词it代指的就是前面提到的“传统食物”。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes in the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers.”（此外，移民不仅向与他们来自同一国家的人出售菜肴，而且向来自不同国家的人出售菜肴。因此，他们不得不在原有菜品上做些小改动，以迎合更广泛的顾客。）可知，移民们改进他们餐馆里原有的菜肴是为了迎合更多来自不同国家的顾客。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“We should not only embrace our heritage (传统) through our culture’s food, but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. Food is a window on culture, and it should be treated as such.”（我们不仅应该通过我们的文化食物来接受我们的传统，还应该通过尝试他们的食物来更多地了解其他文化。 重要的是要记住每道菜在它所属的文化中都有一个特殊的位置，并且对那些准备它的人来说是特别的。食物是文化的窗口，应该这样对待。）可知，作者认为我们应该通过传统食物来欣然接受我们的文化传统，并且要通过品尝其他的食物来了解其他文化。所以作者对于食物文化的态度是客观公正的，并没有带有个人感彩去偏向哪一方的文化。故选B项。

【16题详解】
根据下文“If you appear angry or unhappy in front of them, the conflict is unlikely to be solved.(如果你在他们面前表现得生气或不开心，冲突不太可能得到解决。)”可推断出在老师面前要表现友好，才能解决问题，故选D选项“在交谈中一定要有礼貌并表现出尊重。”符合题意，故选D。
【17题详解】
根据下文“Teachers have many years of teaching experience in the subjects they teach. So discussing the best ways to succeed in the classroom may give you the opportunity to see the best instructors.( 教师在他们所教的科目上有多年的教学经验。因此，讨论在课堂上取得成功的最佳方法可能会让你有机会见到最好的老师。) ”可知老师有很多经验，问老师方法如何在课堂上表现，B选项“问问你的老师你怎样才能在课堂上做得好。”符合语境，故选B。
【18题详解】
根据段首句“Learn to understand their teaching methods.( 学会理解他们的教学方法。)”可知这段是谈论理解老师教学方法的。下文“If you are used to a very relaxing class, learning to be successful in a strict environment is difficult and vice versa (反之亦然). In most cases, it is necessary to give yourself some time to get used to a new teaching method.(如果你习惯了一个非常轻松的课堂，在一个严格的环境中学习成功是困难的，反之亦然。在大多数情况下，需要给自己一些时间来适应一种新的教学方法。)”所以G选项“有时候，你可能不喜欢一些老师，因为他们的教学方法。”和下文紧密相连，并且符合本段主旨，故选G。
【19题详解】
根据段首句“Ask about your teachers’ hobbies.(询问老师的爱好。)”可知本段主要是讲了解老师的爱好，找出共同的兴趣，这样才能帮助你更好的了解老师，故选F选项“共同的兴趣爱好可以帮助你从不同的角度看待老师。”符合题意，故选F。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Consider saying something like, “I’ve always wondered why people become teachers.”(可以这样说：“一直想知道为什么人们会当老师。”)”因为要问为什么会选择老师的工作，说明要补充说明一下老师工作的性质，所以A选项“这似乎是一项困难的工作。”符合题意，故选A。

【详解】考查时态和语态、名词。句意：英语是人类而不是计算机发明的，它反映了人类的创造力。第一空作句子谓语，且结合常识可知，invent这一动作发生在过去，应用一般过去时，invent与主语English之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，主语是English，be动词应用was，即was invented；第二空用于定冠词the之后，应用名词creativity，作动词reflects的宾语。故填①was invented，②creativity。
40. People say that the British always play safe ________ what they eat. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】with
【解析】
【详解】考查介词。句意：人们说英国人总是谨慎对待他们所吃的东西。分析句子可知，空格处需要填写介词with，构成play safe with，表示“谨慎对待”。故填with。
41. I knew I had done a good job and was looking forward to ________(get) a positive comment. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】getting
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：我知道我做得很好，期待得到积极的评价。look forward to为固定短语，其中to是介词，后边应用动名词形式作宾语。故填getting。
42. With just 700 metres ________ (go), Alistair Brownlee was in third place and his younger brother, Jonny, was in the lead. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to go
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：还有700米，阿利斯泰尔·布朗利排在第三，他的弟弟乔尼领先。根据句意可知，此处表示还有700米距离的比赛需要去完成，即未完成，应用动词不定式，表将来。故填to go。
43. Throughout my entire life, I’ve had my brother ________(try) to beat me at everything I do. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】trying
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语。句意：在我的一生中，我的哥哥在我做的每一件事上都试图打败我。分析句子可知，这里考查have sb. doing sth.表“让某人一直做某事”，强调动作的持续性、连续性或者动作的反复性，所以此空应填现在分词作宾补。故填trying。
44. ________(Watch) by millions, the ending to the race has divided opinions: should the brothers have been disqualified or highly praised for their actions (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Watched
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：在数百万人的注视下，这场比赛的结局众说纷纭：兄弟俩应该因为他们的行为被取消资格还是受到高度赞扬？分析句子结构可知，空处作非谓语动词，watch和逻辑主语the race之间是被动关系，应用过去分词形式作状语，置于句首，首字母大写。故填Watched。
45. Thanks ________ advances in technology, how we make friends and communicate with them has changed ________(significant). (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】 ①. to ②. significantly
【解析】
【详解】考查介词和副词。句意：由于技术的进步，我们交朋友和与他们交流的方式发生了重大变化。thanks to为固定短语，表示“多亏，由于”，所以第一空应用介词to；第二空修饰动词changed，应用副词significantly作状语。故填①to，②significantly。
46. On social media sites, people tend ________ (post) only positive updates ________ make them appear happy and friendly. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】 ①. to post ②. that
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词和定语从句。句意：在社交媒体网站上，人们倾向于只发布让自己看起来快乐和友好的积极更新。tend to do sth.为固定搭配，表示“倾向于做某事”，所以第一空应用动词不定式形式作宾语，第二空引导定语从句，修饰先行词only positive updates，先行词指物，关系词在从句中作主语，用that引导从句。故填①to post ②that。
47. ________(正如) Aristotle said, no one would choose to live without friends, even if he had all other goods.(根据汉语提示单词拼写)
【答案】As
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：正如亚里士多德所说，没有人会选择没有朋友的生活，即使他拥有所有其他的东西。根据汉语提示可知，空处应用as，表示“正如”，引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为后边的整个句子，置于句首，首字母大写。故填As。

第二节 (满分25分)
49. 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。
In the spare time, Mrs Green always asked her sons, Alan and John to help their neighbor, Ms Maud, to clean her house because she was too old to do it herself. They helped Ms Maud throughout the spring.
Summer vacation just began. The two brothers planned to play tennis with friends every day, so they could make the freshman team. However, Alan’s racket (球拍) was lost, which disappointed him a lot.
As usual, Alan and John came to Ms Maud’s house to help her. They went down the block to the Ms Maud’s and got started. Before cleaning, John put boxes that were thrown around the garage (车库) floor on shelves. When John put a big box on a shelf, he found a tennis racket in the box. It was a new racket, which was exactly what Alan wanted.
“You’ve got to see this.” John took out the tennis racket and showed it to Alan.
“Whoa, where did you get that ” Alan asked. John pointed to the shelf, “It was just in the box over there.” Alan continued to say, “It is so beautiful. My tennis racket was missing. If we take it, I believe no one will ever know.” He looked at the garage door, which was closed.
But John didn’t think it’s a good idea, “Well, we do a lot of things for Ms Maud and don’t get paid. It’s not really stealing. It’s a kind of payment for our hard work,” said Alan. Without hesitation (犹豫), John looked at the racket, took it from Alan’s hand and put it back in the box.
“Hello, boys.” At that time, Ms Maud walked into the garage, surprising them. “I’ve made a cake. Can you come in for a piece I really appreciate all the things you do for me.” “Ugh... sure, Ms Maud,” said John. “Let us finish up and we’ll be right in.” Ms Maud went back to her house.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then, John told Alan that Ms Maud always rewarded (奖励) them for helping her.

After Alan and John finished the cake, Ms Maud walked in and handed Alan a new tennis racket.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Then, John told Alan that Ms Maud always rewarded(奖励)them for helping her. Alan nodded in agreement. John continued to say that Ms Maud always made tasty cakes for them, even bought them some books. She was very kind to them. Besides, their mom told them not to take something without permission. Luckily, John stopped Alan in time, or he could have made a mistake. After Alan and John exchanged ideas, they walked into the house and enjoyed the cake. For Alan and John, the cake that Ms Maud made today was very delicious.
After Alan and John finished the cake, Ms Maud walked in and handed Alan a new tennis racket. “This is for you. Your mother said your tennis racket was missing. So I went to the store and bought you this tennis racket. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me,” said Ms Maud. “I put it in a box in the garage, so you could find it in surprise” Alan looked at the racket, and then he looked at John. He was ashamed of what he had thought a few moment ago. “Thanks so much. I love it!”
