三、阅读理解(原创)
In my opinion, the wheel is the most important thing that human beings have ever invented. It might seem strange to say that something so simple-looking and common could be so important. 1.
Firstly, wheels influence almost every part of our lives. Wheels are used, for example, in clocks, engines and trucks. 2. You will see wheels on almost every machine.
Secondly, wheels play a great part in food production. Wheels are used to grind (磨碎) different kinds of corn into flour (面粉). They are then used to mix flour and other foods into bread. 3. If we did not have the wheel, we would have much difficulty in food production.
Thirdly, our world would be completely different if we did not have the wheel for transport. Before the wheel was invented, people used to have to travel on foot or by riding on an animal. 4. Everything would take longer to do.
We would be back to the Stone Age if some of our clever ancestors had not invented the wheel.5. The wheel is surely the most important invention of all time.
A.Without wheels, it's hard to travel alone.
B.We also need wheels to transport the wheat.
C.Our modern world would simply be impossible.
D.Traveling on the wheels seems much cooler than riding a horse.
E.That is what we would be doing now if we did not have the wheel.
F.If you visit just one factory, you will see how important wheels are.
G.But if you consider the following points, you will probably agree with me.

【参考答案】
一、1~5 DDBAB 6~8 CDB
二、1~5 DBAAC 6~10 BCBDA 11~15 CACCD
【选材理由】 为了缓解看新闻时带来的不良情绪,本文介绍了三种方法:跟信任的人谈论自己的想法,了解总有人出手相助的事实,提醒自己爱你的人依然爱你。
【答案与解析】
1.D 考查形容词词义辨析。上文提到的事情,如水灾、战争、人们受伤、房屋被毁,都是不好的事情,这会让人觉得在这个世界活着很难。
2.B 考查名词词义辨析。有些人可能会担心自己住的社区会被水淹。
3.A 考查动词词义辨析。句中even表示递进,上一句还只是“担心”(worry about)会遭遇水灾,而此处则更进一步,害怕身边的人会被迫卷入战争。
4.A 考查形容词词义辨析。由上文可知,这里所描述的一切都是可怕的。
5.C 考查从属连词词义辨析。上文提到上述反应都是正常的,周围的其他人也会这样,即使他们没有说出来。
6.B 考查动词词义辨析。下文提到“your parents, grandparents or teachers”,这些都是你可以信任的成年人。
7.C 考查动词词义辨析。父母、祖父母或老师可能会问许多问题,这些问题可以帮助你更好地了解洪涝灾害和发生的战争。
8.B 考查形容词词义辨析。由上下文可知,发生水灾后,警察、医疗工作者和志愿者都是为了让事情变得更好而过来帮忙的。
9.D 考查定语从句用法。拯救人和动物的是前面提到的“police, medical workers and lots of volunteers”,所以用表示人的关系代词“who”代替。
10.A 考查名词词义辨析。本段提到的是关于发生水灾后的救援行动,上述人员会在水退后继续帮忙做清理工作。
11.C 考查动词词义辨析。由下文可知,这里给自己心理暗示,提醒自己爱你的人依然爱你。
12.A 考查代词辨析。由上文可知,此处用them指代前面的people。
13.C 考查动词短语词义辨析。表达爱的方式有很多,他们希望你过得开心,拥有朋友,还会照顾你。
14.C 考查副词词义辨析。由下文可知,我们要始终记住:自己的感受和想法很重要。
15.D 考查名词词义辨析。此处与文章开头的“stories”“news”等呼应,再一次告诉我们,这些新闻听起来或读起来都令人难过,但身边总会有人帮助我们去理解它们。
三、1.G 2.F 3.B 4.E 5.C
【选材理由】 本文是一篇议论文。作者从机械设备、食物生产、旅游出行等方面论述了轮子是最重要的发明。通过阅读本文,我们可以感知人类历史文明的重大价值,培养创新思想,为人类的发展作出应有的贡献。
【长难句分析】 It might seem strange to say that something so simple-looking and common could be so important.
译文:这么简单普通的东西竟然如此重要,说起来可能有点奇怪。
分析:句首的“it”是形式主语,真正的主语是不定式短语“to say...”;that引导宾语从句。
四、
Dear Alice,
I'm very happy that you'll come to China to study. I learned from your letter that you want to know something about the ways Chinese people greet each other and table manners.
In China, when people meet for the first time, they will shake hands. And if you meet someone who asks you whether you have eaten, you should know that's also a way of saying hello. As for table manners, you should know that it's not good to speak loudly when you are eating. And you should wait until the elders start to eat. And don't point at others with chopsticks.
If you have any further questions, I will help you.
Yours,
Li Hua
