When Antonio Gwynn Jr. saw the rubbish from a parade (巡游) in his hometown of Buffalo New York, he picked up a broom, bought some trash bags and started cleaning the streets by himself.
Gwynn is an 18-year-old high school senior. He started at 2 a.m. on Monday and didn’t stop cleaning for the next 10 hours. He told CNN that he “knew people needed to use that street to get to work in the morning.”
When word spread of how Gwynn single-handedly took action, his community responded. Matt Block saw Gwynn’s story on the news and decided to give him his 2004 red Mustang convertible (敞篷汽车). Block, 27, said the car is one he wanted since he was a child, but these days he is only using it occasionally. He saw Gwynn ask for some car buying advice on Facebook, and Matt decided to offer up his sports car.
It turns out that gift has more meaning than Block ever imagined. Gwynn’s mother, who passed away last year, also drove a red Mustang. When he realized the coincidence, Gwynn says that he was so shocked he “didn’t have any words.”
After high school, Gwynn had planned to go to trade school while saving up to go to college. Upon hearing Gwynn’s story, Medaille College in Buffalo offered him a full scholarship where he plans to study business starting this fall. One of his many goals is to open a cleaning business.
This is the first time Gwynn received this type of recognition for his good deeds, but this is not the first time he stepped up to help others. He is a member of Kappa Phi where he enjoys doing community service, and he helps out at churches.
Gwynn is thankful for the community response, saying, “I appreciate everything everyone is doing for me.”
9. Why did Gwynn clean the street
A. He dropped a lot of rubbish there. B. He liked to help people.
C. He wanted to get paid by cleaning. D. He had a cleaning business.
10. How did Block know Gwynn wanted a car
A. From social media. B. By asking him directly.
C. From his own experience. D. By reading the news.
11. What kind of person is Gwynn, according to the story
A. Stubborn. B. Honest. C. Generous. D. Warm-hearted.
12. Which of the following proverbs best describes the story
A. A good beginning is half done. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. A good turn deserves another. D. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C
Thirteen-year-old Kaylee has a lot of friends — 532, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them.
But is it possible that Kaylee’s online friendships could be making her lonely That’s what some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say. However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships.
Could this be true During your parents’ childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone. Friends might even write letters to each other.
Today, most communication takes place online. A typical teen sends 2,000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen. Much of this time is spent on social media platforms (平台).
In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger, “There’s definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie Davis, co-author of The App Generation.
Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual words, we will have little time for our real-world friendships.” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today’s kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life. However, in tough times, you don’t need someone to like your picture or share your blogs. You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. You would like to talk face to face.
13. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To summarize the text. B. To tell about true friends.
C. To bring up a discussion. D. To encourage online friendship.
14. What does the underlined part “in the flesh” mean in Paragraph 3
A. In person. B. In advance. C. In any case. D. In full measure.
15. What is Katie’s attitude towards online communication
A. Worried. B. Positive. C. Confused. D. Unconcerned.
16. What view does Rosen hold
A. It’s wise to turn to friends online.
B. It’s easier to develop friendships in reality.
C. Social media help people stay closely connected.
D. Teenagers need focus on real-world friendships.
D
“There are more people actively learning a language through DuoLingo than in the entire US public school system.” says Luis von Ahn, founder of the free language learning app. Since its launch (投放市场) in 2012, more than 30 million people have downloaded (下载) the app, which gamified education and attracted many language learners.
The growth of technology for educational use has changed the way in which people learn and receive education. This is particularly true for languages, an area in which the explosion of mobile apps and interactive software has provided choices to a range of people who were previously unable to receive foreign language education.
Von Ahn says that when he founded DuoLingo he decided to find a way for people to learn a language for free. Free use of languages was something he had a personal interest in addressing: he grew up in Guatemala where he was surrounded by people all trying to learn English, half of whom were failing to do so and a lot of whom could not afford it.
One of the big changes caused by tech is the change in language learners. Languages have long been connected with the rich people, but now people from less rich backgrounds are finding affordable ways to learn.
Von Ahn says an unexpected result of DuoLingo being an app is that it’s attracting an unlikely type of user. DuoLingo was designed (设计) to be like a game, and what the company has found is that many users aren’t even necessarily diehard language fans, they’re just looking for an educational way to kill some time.
“They’re still procrastinating from something else, but at least it’s somewhat useful.” says Von Ahn, “The truth of the matter is that learning a language takes months or years. We have to find a way to keep them interested and that’s where the gamification came in.”
17. What can we say about DuoLingo after its launch
A. It is used by entire US schools. B. It costs 30 dollars to download.
C. It changes the use of languages. D. It makes education more enjoyable.
18. Why does the author mention Von Ahn in paragraph 3
A. To show his poverty in childhood.
B. To explain why he founded the app.
C. To prove he was interested in the app.
D. To find out how he designed the app.
19. What change does DuoLingo bring to language learners
A. They can master a language faster. B. They become language fans totally.
C. They can learn in a low-cost way. D. They can now use it to kill some time.
20. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Reasons for Learning a Language
B. How to Learn a Language Online
C. The Development of a Language App
D. Mastering a Language with DuoLingo

This is the first time Gwynn received this type of recognition for his good deeds, but this is not the first time he stepped up to help others. He is a member of Kappa Phi where he enjoys doing community service, and he helps out at churches.
Gwynn is thankful for the community response, saying, “I appreciate everything everyone is doing for me.”
9. Why did Gwynn clean the street
A. He dropped a lot of rubbish there. B. He liked to help people.
C. He wanted to get paid by cleaning. D. He had a cleaning business.
10. How did Block know Gwynn wanted a car

C. From his own experience. D. By reading the news.
11. What kind of person is Gwynn, according to the story

【答案】9. B 10. A 11. D 12. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是18岁高中生花10小时打扫街道，后来获得了跑车和大学全额奖学金。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“He told CNN that he “knew people needed to use that street to get to work in the morning.”(他告诉CNN，他“知道人们早上需要走这条街去上班。”)”可知，Gwynn要打扫街道是因为他喜欢帮助别人，因为其他人要走那条街去上班。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“He saw Gwynn ask for some car buying advice on Facebook, and Matt decided to offer up his sports car.(他看到Gwynn在Facebook上征求购车建议，于是Matt决定把他的跑车卖给他。)”可知，Facebook是一种社交媒体，所以Block是从社交媒体知道Gwynn想买车的，故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“This is the first time Gwynn received this type of recognition for his good deeds, but this is not the first time he stepped up to help others. He is a member of Kappa Phi where he enjoys doing community service, and he helps out at churches.(这是Gwynn第一次因为他的善行而得到这样的认可，但这并不是他第一次站出来帮助别人。他是Kappa Phi的成员，他喜欢做社区服务，也在教堂帮忙。)”可知，Gwynn是热心的人，故选D。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“He started at 2 a.m. on Monday and didn’t stop cleaning for the next 10 hours.(他从周一凌晨2点开始打扫，在接下来的10个小时里一直没有停止。)”，第三段“He saw Gwynn ask for some car buying advice on Facebook, and Matt decided to offer up his sports car.(他看到Gwynn在Facebook上征求购车建议，于是Matt决定把他的跑车卖给他。)”和倒数第三段“Upon hearing Gwynn’s story, Medaille College in Buffalo offered him a full scholarship where he plans to study business starting this fall. One of his many goals is to open a cleaning business.(在听到Gwynn的故事后，Buffalo的Medaille学院为他提供了全额奖学金，他计划从今年秋天开始学习商业。他的众多目标之一是开一家清洁公司。)”可知，Gwynn因为他打扫街道的善行获得了跑车和大学全额奖学金，因此可以用“善有善报”来描述这个故事，即A good turn deserves another。故选C。

Thirteen-year-old Kaylee has a lot of friends — 532, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them.
But is it possible that Kaylee’s online friendships could be making her lonely That’s what some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say. However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships.
Could this be true During your parents’ childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone. Friends might even write letters to each other.
Today, most communication takes place online. A typical teen sends 2,000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen. Much of this time is spent on social media platforms (平台).
In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger, “There’s definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie Davis, co-author of The App Generation.
Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual words, we will have little time for our real-world friendships.” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today’s kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life. However, in tough times, you don’t need someone to like your picture or share your blogs. You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. You would like to talk face to face.
13. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To summarize the text. B. To tell about true friends.
C. To bring up a discussion. D. To encourage online friendship.
14. What does the underlined part “in the flesh” mean in Paragraph 3
A. In person. B. In advance. C. In any case. D. In full measure.
15. What is Katie’s attitude towards online communication
A. Worried. B. Positive. C. Confused. D. Unconcerned.
16. What view does Rosen hold
A It’s wise to turn to friends online.
B. It’s easier to develop friendships in reality.
C. Social media help people stay closely connected.
D. Teenagers need focus on real-world friendships.
【答案】13. C 14. A 15. B 16. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。现在的青少年把更多的时间用于网上交友，这样的现象让专家很担忧。专家认为青少年如果不断地关注虚拟世界，他们将几乎没有时间在现实世界建立真正的友谊。
13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Thirteen-year-old Kaylee has a lot of friends — 532, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them.(13岁的Kaylee有很多朋友——如果算上她的网上朋友，实际上有532个。她花了很多时间和他们在一起)”可推知，第一段阐述了一种社会现象，目的是提出一个讨论的话题，从而引出下文对于这个话题的讨论。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线短语前的“During your parent’s childhoods”和划线短语后的“Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones.(孩子们围着桌子玩拼字游戏，而不是在手机上玩Words With Friends)”可推知，在你父母的童年时期，与朋友相处通常意味着亲自花时间与他们在一起。孩子们围着桌子玩拼字游戏，而不是在手机上玩Words With Friends。由此可知，划线短语in the flesh意为“亲自”，故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger, “There’s definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie Davis, co-author of The App Generation.(事实上，在很多方面，在线交流可以使友谊更加牢固，“这绝对是一种积极的影响。孩子们可以保持不断的联系，这意味着他们可以彼此分享更多的感受，”《应用程序一代》的合著者Katie Davis说)”可推知，Katie对网络交流持乐观态度。故选B。
【16题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual words, we will have little time for our real-world friendships.” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University.(然而，其他专家警告说，过多的在线交流可能会阻碍深厚友谊的形成。“如果我们总是关注虚拟世界，我们就没有时间和现实世界的友谊在一起。加州州立大学教授Larry Rosen说)”可知，Rosen认为青少年需要关注现实世界的友谊。故选D。

“There are more people actively learning a language through DuoLingo than in the entire US public school system.” says Luis von Ahn, founder of the free language learning app. Since its launch (投放市场) in 2012, more than 30 million people have downloaded (下载) the app, which gamified education and attracted many language learners.
The growth of technology for educational use has changed the way in which people learn and receive education. This is particularly true for languages, an area in which the explosion of mobile apps and interactive software has provided choices to a range of people who were previously unable to receive foreign language education.
Von Ahn says that when he founded DuoLingo he decided to find a way for people to learn a language for free. Free use of languages was something he had a personal interest in addressing: he grew up in Guatemala, where he was surrounded by people all trying to learn English, half of whom were failing to do so and a lot of whom could not afford it.
One of the big changes caused by tech is the change in language learners. Languages have long been connected with the rich people, but now people from less rich backgrounds are finding affordable ways to learn.
Von Ahn says an unexpected result of DuoLingo being an app is that it’s attracting an unlikely type of user. DuoLingo was designed (设计) to be like a game, and what the company has found is that many users aren’t even necessarily diehard language fans, they’re just looking for an educational way to kill some time.
“They’re still procrastinating from something else, but at least it’s somewhat useful.” says Von Ahn, “The truth of the matter is that learning a language takes months or years. We have to find a way to keep them interested and that’s where the gamification came in.”
17. What can we say about DuoLingo after its launch
A. It is used by entire US schools. B. It costs 30 dollars to download.
C. It changes the use of languages. D. It makes education more enjoyable.
18. Why does the author mention Von Ahn in paragraph 3
A. To show his poverty in childhood.
B. To explain why he founded the app.
C. To prove he was interested in the app.
D. To find out how he designed the app.
19. What change does DuoLingo bring to language learners
A. They can master a language faster. B. They become language fans totally.
C. They can learn in a low-cost way. D. They can now use it to kill some time.
20. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Reasons for Learning a Language
B. How to Learn a Language Online
C. The Development of a Language App
D. Mastering a Language with DuoLingo
【答案】17. D 18. B 19. C 20. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了DuoLingo软件带给语言市场的变化。
【17题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段““There are more people actively learning a language through DuoLingo than in the entire US public school system.” says Luis von Ahn, founder of the free language learning app. Since its launch (投放市场) in 2012, more than 30 million people have downloaded (下载) the app, which gamified education and attracted many language learners.(免费语言学习应用程序的创始人路易斯·冯·安表示：“通过DuoLingo积极学习一门语言的人比整个美国公立学校系统都多。”。自2012年推出以来，已有超过3000万人下载了该应用程序，该应用程序将教育游戏化，吸引了许多语言学习者)”可知，自从DuoLingo这款软件推出以来，它通过将教育游戏化，吸引了许多语言学习者。由此可推知，这个软件使教育更加愉快。故选D。
【18题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Von Ahn says that when he founded DuoLingo he decided to find a way for people to learn a language for free. Free use of languages was something he had a personal interest in addressing: he grew up in Guatemala, where he was surrounded by people all trying to learn English, half of whom were failing to do so and a lot of whom could not afford it.(冯安说，当他创建DuoLingo时，他决定为人们找到一种免费学习语言的方法。自由使用语言是他个人的兴趣所在：他在危地马拉长大，周围都是想学英语的人，其中一半人没能做到，很多人买不起)”可推知，作者在第三段提到了Von Ahn，是为了解释了他创造这个软件的原因。故选B。
【19题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“One of the big changes caused by tech is the change in language learners. Languages have long been connected with the rich people, but now people from less rich backgrounds are finding affordable ways to learn.(科技带来的一大变化是语言学习者的变化。长期以来，语言一直与富人联系在一起，但现在，来自较不富裕背景的人正在找到负担得起的学习方式。)”可知，来自较不富裕背景的人正在找到负担得起的学习方式，DuoLingo 恰恰提供了这种方式。由此可推知，学习者可以以低成本的方式学习。故选C。
【20题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一句话““There are more people actively learning a language through DuoLingo than in the entire US public school system.” says Luis von Ahn, founder of the free language learning app.(免费语言学习应用程序的创始人路易斯·冯·安表示：“通过DuoLingo积极学习一门语言的人比整个美国公立学校系统都多。”)”可知，本文主要讲述了路易斯·冯·安创造了DuoLingo 来帮助人么学习英语。因此，“用DuoLingo 掌握一门语言”适合作本文的标题。故选D。

第三节 完成句子(共5小题;每小题2分，每空一词0.5分，满分10分)
根据汉语句意完成句子
71. 他得申请一个许可证，以便可以去找一份工作。
He has to ________ ________ a permit ________ ________ he can find a job.

【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语和连词。根据中文提示可知，表示“申请”应用动词短语apply for，在本句中为谓语动词，且has to后应用动词原形，表示“以便”应用so that，为连接词，引导目的状语从句。故填①apply；②for；③so；④that。

I __________ __________ __________ __________ than I felt this morning.
【答案】 ①. feel ②. much ③. more ④. confident
【解析】
【详解】考查时态，主谓一致和形容词的比较级。对比中英文句子可知，空格处意为“感觉有信心多了”，“感觉”是feel，句子描述现在的事情，时态用一般现在时，主语是I，因此feel用原形，“有信心多了”用形容词比较级much more confident，因此空格处是feel much more confident。故填feel，much，more，confident。
73. 我的指导老师建议我选修高级文学，因为我喜欢英语，而且成绩不错。
My adviser recommended that I ________ advanced literature because I like English and I am good at it.
【答案】(should) sign up for
【解析】
【详解】考查虚拟语气。对比中英文句子可知，空格处意为“选修”，即“报名”，是固定短语sign up for，recommend后的that从句中用“should+动词原形”的虚拟语气，should可以省略，因此空格处是(should) sign up for。故填(should) sign up for。
74. 仿佛世界末日即将来临！
____________________________ the world were coming to an end!
【答案】 ①. It ②. seemed ③. as ④. if
【解析】
【详解】考查虚拟语气和固定句型。由从句谓语动词were可知，本句是虚拟语气，“It seemed/seems as if +从句”（好像/仿佛......），因为从句时态是过去进行时（were coming），所以用It seemed as if。故填①It②seemed③as④if。
75. 只有学会和自然和睦相处，我们才不会成为野生生物和地球的威胁。
__________ __________ we learn to exist in harmony with nature __________ __________ stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.
【答案】 ①. Only ②. when ③. can ④. we
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句和部分倒装。对比中英文句子可知，前两空意为“只有当……”，后两空意为“我们才会”，“只有”是only，“当……”是when，引导时间状语从句，位于句首的单词首字母大写；“我们才会”是we can，only修饰状语从句位于句首会引起主句部分倒装，即把情态动词can提前到主语we的前面，因此“我们才会”写成can we，故填Only，when，can，we。
