第一节 (共 15 小题;每小题2分,满分 30分)
A
What will our world really be like 20 years from now What does the future hold for the food we eat, the technology we use and the homes we live in It would be beyond imagination--food pills, flying cars and bases on the moon--but the reality will probably be less exciting. The world in 2040 will probably be much like it is today, but smarter.
The future of food
The next major food change will be vertical farming (垂直农业) in which we grow food in AI-controlled vertical buildings rather than horizontal land. We could be eating insects in 2040. Insects are rich in proteins, low in fat and a good source of calcium.
The future of love
The Internet has forever changed the way people meet and fall in love. Online dating and location-based services have opened up possibilities that allow people to look beyond their friends, friends of friends, and co-workers.
The future of technology
We’re heading into a future where improved battery technology will make better electric cars, personal flying machines, and private space tourism possible.
The future of work
Rather than humans working with machines, robots are likely to reduce some jobs. Taxi drivers will be replaced by self-driving cars, for example. Clearly, there will also be new jobs created: the computer engineer, mechanics who fix the self-driving taxis, programmers, space tour guides and vertical farmers. Technology will continue to disturb businesses and get rid of some jobs, creating new professions we can’t yet imagine.
The future of health
Hospitals are the costliest part in the health system, Prevention will become the center of attention as we gain greater control of our health information.
1. What is the food in 2040 like
A. People will not eat pork or beef then.
B. Insects will become the main food then.
C. The food will mainly exist in the form of pills.
D. Part of the food will come from vertical farming.
2. What can we learn from Paragraph 5
A. New professions will appear. B. Boring jobs will be abandoned.
C. Most jobs will be done by robots. D. Humans will work with machines.
3. What will be the focus of health in the future
A Hospital treatment. B. Health systems.
C. Prevention. D. Health information.
【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章描述了二十年后的世界到底是什么样子 作者对未来的各个方面做了大胆的预测。

Arun Kumar Bajaj has a very unusual skill — he can paint with a sewing machine (缝纫机). Technically, it’s embroidering (绣), not painting, but his artworks are so detailed that they can pass as paintings to the untrained eyes. And the fact that he does it all with a sewing machine just makes that much more impressive.
Arun was really good at drawing and painting while growing up and dreamed of becoming a famous painter, but his father died suddenly 15 years ago, which destroyed his plans and forced him to give up school in order to run the family business. His father was a tailor (裁缝) and he became one too, but he didn’t let the artist in him die. He started “painting” with a needle and thread, but instead of using his hands, he decided on a rather unusual tool — the sewing machine. It took him a while to master this unique art form, but today he is recognized as the world’s only sewing machine artist. His works become very popular both in India and abroad. It’s easy to see why, just by looking at them, but what really makes his embroideries special is the tool he uses.
“You need to be very careful because once you’ve stitched (缝合) the cloth, there’s no way you can repair it,” Arun said. “It’s all done in a single layer to give the painting a neat look.”
Some of Arun’s most impressive works include a 4X2 feet painting of the court of Ranjit Singh which took the artist over a year to finish, Arun runs a tailoring business in the Adalat Bazar of Patiala, but he devotes a lot of his time to his artistic dream as well.
4. Why do Arun’s paintings leave a deep impression on people
A. They have rich contents. B. They take many years to finish.
C. They give people a sense of satisfaction. D. They are finished with a sewing machine.
5. What made Arun give up his former plans
A. His father’s sudden death. B. His father’s serious illness.
C. His love for sewing machines. D. His position in his family business.
6. What should Arun do when he paints
A. Keep stitching the cloth without disturbance.
B. Stitch the cloth again when making a mistake.
C. Be very careful to make sure paintings look neat.
D. Make sure the cloth he uses is very strong.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. Arun’s Wonderful Life Journey. B. Arun’s Most Impressive Works
C. Constant Effort Needed to Succeed D. The World’s Only Sewing Machine Painter
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述的是世界上唯一的缝纫机画家 Arun 的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“And the fact that he does it all with a sewing machine just makes that much more impressive.(而事实上，他用一台缝纫机完成了这一切，这更令人印象深刻。)”可知，Arun的作品是用缝纫机完成的，因此他的画给人们留下了深刻的印象。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Arun was really good at drawing and painting while growing up and dreamed of becoming a famous painter, but his father died suddenly 15 years ago, which destroyed his plans and forced him to give up school in order to run the family business.(在成长的过程中，Arun非常擅长绘画，并梦想成为一名著名的画家，但他的父亲在15年前突然去世，这破坏了他的计划，迫使他放弃学业，以经营家族企业。)”可知，Arun 擅长绘画，并且梦想成为一名著名画家，但是他的父亲突然死亡使得他放弃学业，以经营家族企业，由此可知，是他父亲的突然去世使得他放弃了原来的计划。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““You need to be very careful because once you’ve stitched (缝合) the cloth, there’s no way you can repair it,” Arun said. “It’s all done in a single layer to give the painting a neat look.”(“你需要非常小心，因为一旦你缝好了，你就没有办法修复它了。”Arun说，“这一切都是在一个单层中完成的，让这幅画看起来很整洁。”)”可知，Arun 说到因为不能返工，因此缝布料的时候需要非常小心，而且不能缝得太多，只能缝单独的一层来确保画看起来整洁，由此可知，Arun在绘制的时候应该是非常小心确保绘画看起来整洁。故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Arun Kumar Bajaj has a very unusual skill — he can paint with a sewing machine(缝纫机). Technically, it’s embroidering (绣), not painting, but his artworks are so detailed that they can pass as paintings to the untrained eyes.(Arun Kumar Bajaj有一项非常不寻常的技能——他可以用缝纫机画画(缝纫)。从技术上讲，这是刺绣，而不是绘画，但他的作品非常细致，对于未经训练的人来说，它们可以被当作绘画。)”以及下文中的介绍的Arun Kumar Bajaj的成长经历以及对用缝纫机进行绘画这一技术的介绍可知，文章主要讲述了世界上唯一的缝纫机画家 Arun 的故事，所以题目“世界上唯一的缝纫机画家”与本文的内容一致，且能概括本文的主题，最适合作本文的标题。故选D项。

【36题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：在接下来的二十年里，他写了五百多首歌。分析句子可知，空处应为谓语动词；根据上一句的“In 1916”和本句的“During the next twenty years”可知，应用一般过去时，表示过去发生的动作。故填wrote。
【37题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：格什温的许多歌曲最初都是为在纽约剧院演出的音乐剧而写的。句中已有谓语“were first written”可知，空处应为非谓语动词，作定语修饰“musical plays”，并与其形成被动关系，表示“被表演的音乐剧”，故应用过去分词形式。故填performed。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意：他的许多歌曲一直很受欢迎，这些歌曲多年来以各种可能的方式被演唱和演奏，从爵士乐到乡村音乐。分析句子可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词“Many of his songs”，在句中作主语，故应用关系代词which。故填which。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意：在20世纪20年代，格什温同意为爵士音乐家兼管弦乐队指挥保罗·怀特曼的音乐会创作一些东西。根据“a...”可知，空处应为名词单数，作表语；leader表示“领导者，首席”，符合句意，为可数名词。故填leader。
【40题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：格什温这样做是因为他想支持自己的观点，即爵士乐是严肃的音乐。动词短语want to do表示“想做某事”，空处填不定式作宾语。故填to support.
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在很短的时间内，他创作了一首他称之为《蓝色狂想曲》的音乐。a piece of为固定短语，表示“一支、一首，一篇，一则”，a piece of music表示“一支曲子”，符合句意。故填a。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：听众听到他的音乐时都很兴奋。分析句子可知，空处应为形容词，作表语；表示人的主观感受，应用v-ed形式的形容词，excited“兴奋的、激动的”，符合句意。故填excited。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：1928年，他写了《一个美国人在巴黎》，这仍然是他最著名的作品之一。分析句子可知，空处应为谓语动词；remain为动词，表示“保持、一直是”，根据副词“still”和句意可知，应用一般现在时，表示客观事实；主语“which”代替先行词“An American in Paris”，谓语动词为单数。故填remains。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：乔治·格什温1937年英年早逝，世界各地的报纸都在头版报道了他的死讯。分析句子可知，介词短语at a(an)... age表示“在……的年纪”，故应用介词at。故填at。
【45题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：乔治·格什温1937年英年早逝，世界各地的报纸都在头版报道了他的死讯。分析句子可知，此处是 with 复合结构，故空处应为非谓语动词，report为动词，意为“报道、报告”，与“newspaper”之间为主动关系，故应用现在分词作宾补。故填reporting。

第二节 (满分 25 分)
47. 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。
The little bird perched (栖息) itself on the tree branch outside Vanessa’s bedroom window. It sang an energetic song as the first pale yellow rays of sunshine emerged from the horizon.
“Oh, what is that noise ” Vanessa complained to herself, pulling her bed sheet over her head in an attempt to block the sound from outside. It was no use, and she knew it because the loud birdsong signalled the coming of the day. A few moments later, Vanessa’s mom knocked on her door, and then came in with a smile. “Time to get up, Sleepyhead,” she whispered. “The early bird catches the worm, you know.”
“Ugh, what does that even mean ” asked Vanessa, with a pillow covering her face. “It’s just an expression, honey,” her mom replied. She gave Vanessa a kiss on the cheek and urged her to get out of bed. Vanessa rolled over and slept for a few more minutes.
Vanessa walked slowly downstairs, had breakfast slowly and missed her bus. When she finally got to school, she had to get a late pass. She missed the first part of math class, so she didn’t understand the lesson and had to get extra help. Her teacher gave her extra homework to make sure she knew it. This day was no fun.
The next morning, Vanessa was woken up by the same birdsong. Instead of ignoring it, Vanessa walked over to the window and opened the curtains. Soft light filled the room. “Well, hello there, little fellow,” she said when she saw the pretty bird outside, still singing happily. Suddenly, the bird flew down to land on the fresh grass. As she watched, the bird picked up a worm for breakfast. Vanessa seemed to instantly understand what her mother meant when she said “the early bird catches the worm”.
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。
She raced through breakfast and caught the bus.

At lunchtime, Vanessa finished her lunch early and had time to go to the library.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
She raced through breakfast and caught the bus. She was one of the first kids to enter her classroom. Her teacher reminded her that there were only a few spots left in the Robotics Club, and if she was interested, she needed to sign up right away. Vanessa was very interested! She wrote her name down in one of the last spaces happily and smiled to herself.
At lunchtime, Vanessa finished her lunch early and had time to go to the library. The librarian was stacking some new books that had just arrived. One of them was the sequel to a great story Vanessa had just finished. She was the first one to check it out! Later, when the gym teacher asked for volunteers, Vanessa put her hand up immediately and was chosen to be the captain of the softball team. “Wow, it sounds like you had a great day, Vanessa,” her mom said later when Vanessa told her all about it at dinnertime. “Yes. Just call me the early bird,” said Vanessa, with a satisfied smile.
【解析】
【导语】本文以事件为线索展开，讲述了虽然Vanessa在早上被小鸟的歌声吵醒，但却非常贪睡，妈妈叫了她起床，她还是选择继续睡。在妈妈的一再催促下，Vanessa别无选择只好起床，但是却慢吞吞地行动，导致上学迟到，错过了一部分数学课的内容，需要做额外的家庭作业来弥补。第二天早上，Vanessa又被同样的小鸟的歌声吵醒，这次她没有忽略它，而是起床和这只小鸟打招呼，并观察到小鸟捕食的过程，她似乎立刻明白了妈妈说的“早起的鸟儿有虫吃”的意思。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“她匆匆吃完早饭，赶上了公共汽车”可知，第一段可描写Vanessa早早到达学校，以及上午积极主动地参与学校活动。
②由第二段首句内容“午饭时，Vanessa很早就吃完午饭，有时间去图书馆”可知，第二段可描写Vanessa因为去图书馆而有了收获，下午积极主动地参与学校活动，以及回家后和妈妈的交流。
2. 续写线索：赶上公共汽车——早早到达学校——上午的学校生活——去图书馆——在图书馆的收获——下午的学校生活——回家后的交流

A
What will our world really be like 20 years from now What does the future hold for the food we eat, the technology we use and the homes we live in It would be beyond imagination--food pills, flying cars and bases on the moon--but the reality will probably be less exciting. The world in 2040 will probably be much like it is today, but smarter.
The future of food
The next major food change will be vertical farming (垂直农业) in which we grow food in AI-controlled vertical buildings rather than horizontal land. We could be eating insects in 2040. Insects are rich in proteins, low in fat and a good source of calcium.
The future of love
The Internet has forever changed the way people meet and fall in love. Online dating and location-based services have opened up possibilities that allow people to look beyond their friends, friends of friends, and co-workers.
The future of technology
We’re heading into a future where improved battery technology will make better electric cars, personal flying machines, and private space tourism possible.
The future of work
Rather than humans working with machines, robots are likely to reduce some jobs. Taxi drivers will be replaced by self-driving cars, for example. Clearly, there will also be new jobs created: the computer engineer, mechanics who fix the self-driving taxis, programmers, space tour guides and vertical farmers. Technology will continue to disturb businesses and get rid of some jobs, creating new professions we can’t yet imagine.
The future of health
Hospitals are the costliest part in the health system, Prevention will become the center of attention as we gain greater control of our health information.
1. What is the food in 2040 like
A. People will not eat pork or beef then.
B. Insects will become the main food then.
C. The food will mainly exist in the form of pills.
D. Part of the food will come from vertical farming.
2. What can we learn from Paragraph 5
A. New professions will appear. B. Boring jobs will be abandoned.
C. Most jobs will be done by robots. D. Humans will work with machines.
3. What will be the focus of health in the future
A. Hospital treatment. B. Health systems.
C. Prevention. D. Health information.

Arun Kumar Bajaj has a very unusual skill — he can paint with a sewing machine (缝纫机). Technically, it’s embroidering (绣), not painting, but his artworks are so detailed that they can pass as paintings to the untrained eyes. And the fact that he does it all with a sewing machine just makes that much more impressive.
Arun was really good at drawing and painting while growing up and dreamed of becoming a famous painter, but his father died suddenly 15 years ago, which destroyed his plans and forced him to give up school in order to run the family business. His father was a tailor (裁缝) and he became one too, but he didn’t let the artist in him die. He started “painting” with a needle and thread, but instead of using his hands, he decided on a rather unusual tool — the sewing machine. It took him a while to master this unique art form, but today he is recognized as the world’s only sewing machine artist. His works become very popular both in India and abroad. It’s easy to see why, just by looking at them, but what really makes his embroideries special is the tool he uses.
“You need to be very careful because once you’ve stitched (缝合) the cloth, there’s no way you can repair it,” Arun said. “It’s all done in a single layer to give the painting a neat look.”
Some of Arun’s most impressive works include a 4X2 feet painting of the court of Ranjit Singh which took the artist over a year to finish, Arun runs a tailoring business in the Adalat Bazar of Patiala, but he devotes a lot of his time to his artistic dream as well.
4. Why do Arun’s paintings leave a deep impression on people
A. They have rich contents. B. They take many years to finish.
C. They give people a sense of satisfaction. D. They are finished with a sewing machine.
5. What made Arun give up his former plans
A. His father’s sudden death. B. His father’s serious illness.
C. His love for sewing machines. D. His position in his family business.
6. What should Arun do when he paints
A. Keep stitching the cloth without disturbance.
B. Stitch the cloth again when making a mistake.
C. Be very careful to make sure paintings look neat.
D. Make sure the cloth he uses is very strong.
7. What is the best title for the text
A. Arun’s Wonderful Life Journey. B. Arun’s Most Impressive Works
C. Constant Effort Needed to Succeed D. The World’s Only Sewing Machine Painter
C
All eyes were on Jack Ma. The chairman of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd stepped down on Teachers' Day from leading the e-commerce giant he founded 20 years ago.
"I still have lots of dreams to go after." Ma wrote in an open letter last year to announce his parting. "The world is big, and I am still young, so I want to try new things." The 55-year-old businessman showed that he was ready for new things by arriving at his farewell party（欢送会）dressed up like a rock star.
In fact, his rags-to-riches（白手起家的）story is a good example of doing something different. Visiting the United States in 1995, Ma saw the internet and had the idea of setting up his own trading website. In 1999, he founded Alibaba with a group of friends in a shared apartment, struggling for years to get it off the ground. With all the challenges, the company slowly brought e-commerce to China.
Although his success has inspired a number of Chinese tech businessmen. Ma pointed out that the key is having a dream. "It's the dreams that keep us never afraid of setbacks（挫折）."Ma said in a video posted on Sept 9.
Now the experienced businessman is looking to focus on education. What can he offer "I'm not going to teach English; I'm not going to teach business. But I'm going to teach young people how to face challenges," he told Bloomberg News.
Skilled sailors were never made on calm waters. As Ma said. "Today is cruel. Tomorrow is crueler. But the day after tomorrow is beautiful."
8. What did Jack Ma announce on Teachers' Day
A. His retirement from Alibaba. B. His plan to return to teaching.
C. His dream of becoming a rock star. D. His plan to enlarge his online business.
9. What is Paragraph3 mainly about
A. The important role of Alibaba.
B. How Ma got the idea for his business.
C. Difficulties Ma went through to found Alibaba.
D. How Ma inspires others to do something different.
10. What does Ma think dreams mean to us
A. Dreams can lead us to offer more to society.
B. Dreams can give us confidence and courage.
C. Dreams can guide us to further our education.
D. Dreams can push us to set up new businesses.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Practice can help people succeed.
B. Confidence is the key to success.
C. Challenges allow us to develop new abilities.
D. Good conditions can't help people grow and learn.

Chinese Culture Shown to the World with Love Li Ziqi, a short video blogger specializing in traditional Chinese cooking and handicrafts has gained worldwide popularity.
Li has about 20 million followers on Sina Weibo, China's equivalent to Twitter，plus 7 million followers on overseas social media networks. Many foreigners say they have got to know traditional Chinese food culture via her channel.
It is the spirit of craftsmanship（技艺） behind her works that makes Li's video clips attractive. She strictly follows the authentic traditional steps and procedures in making traditional Chinese food and handicrafts, such as peach flower wine and silk, and goes to great lengths to ensure her videos are accurate. Sometimes she spends several months producing one of her videos.
Li has been inheriting（继承） traditional Chinese culture in a rather creative way. A closer look at her videos will show that they are never with any "analysis" that makes people feel bored. They just show the audience each and every detail of traditional Chinese culture so that the latter knows how Chinese live their beautiful and elegant lives. It is that universal appeal that makes her works so attractive. Thanks to Li's efforts, many intangible cultural heritages that only existed in memories and written records now appear before our eyes. Via her short videos, Li presents the image of a beautiful and friendly China.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整短文。
The little bird perched (栖息) itself on the tree branch outside Vanessa’s bedroom window. It sang an energetic song as the first pale yellow rays of sunshine emerged from the horizon.
“Oh, what is that noise ” Vanessa complained to herself, pulling her bed sheet over her head in an attempt to block the sound from outside. It was no use, and she knew it because the loud birdsong signalled the coming of the day. A few moments later, Vanessa’s mom knocked on her door, and then came in with a smile. “Time to get up, Sleepyhead,” she whispered. “The early bird catches the worm, you know.”
“Ugh, what does that even mean ” asked Vanessa, with a pillow covering her face. “It’s just an expression, honey,” her mom replied. She gave Vanessa a kiss on the cheek and urged her to get out of bed. Vanessa rolled over and slept for a few more minutes.
Vanessa walked slowly downstairs, had breakfast slowly and missed her bus. When she finally got to school, she had to get a late pass. She missed the first part of math class, so she didn’t understand the lesson and had to get extra help. Her teacher gave her extra homework to make sure she knew it. This day was no fun.
The next morning, Vanessa was woken up by the same birdsong. Instead of ignoring it, Vanessa walked over to the window and opened the curtains. Soft light filled the room. “Well, hello there, little fellow,” she said when she saw the pretty bird outside, still singing happily. Suddenly, the bird flew down to land on the fresh grass. As she watched, the bird picked up a worm for breakfast. Vanessa seemed to instantly understand what her mother meant when she said “the early bird catches the worm”.
