【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Botswana is situated in Southern Africa. There are many top-quality places to enjoy your African trip.(博茨瓦纳位于非洲南部。这里有许多高质量的地方可以让你享受非洲之旅。)”可知，文章主要介绍南非博茨瓦纳三个非常值得旅游的地方。故选B项。
【32题详解】
词义猜测题。根据单词所在段第二段“Besides the regular flooding, rainfall can drastically increase the size of this water body, up to 22,000 km .(除了经常发生的洪水，降雨还会dramatically增加这片水域的面积，达到22000平方公里。)”可知，除了洪水，雨量也可以增加了这个地区的水域面积，可以达到两万两千平方公里，因此推断此处讲述降雨明显增加水域面积，而作者把降雨和洪水相比，是表示降雨量很大，因此推断画线词C项“很大地”符合句意。故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章“The Chobe National Park”部分中“The park is also very famous for its elephants and is considered to be the largest area for elephants in Africa.(该公园也因其大象而闻名，被认为是非洲最大的大象栖息地。)”可知，想要看大象就要去Chobe National Park。故选B项。

Dear Mum,
You didn't carry me inside you,or give birth to me. Yet our connection as mother and daughter is just as deep,maybe even deeper,as it would have been if we'd had a physical connection.
Even though I’m in my twenties now,we still celebrate my "special day" every June; the anniversary of the date that I legally became your daughter,and was brought from my home to live with you and.Dad.It's a date that I never want to forget, because it marked the beginning of our lives together as a family.
I was just nine weeks old when I was given up by my birth mother. I don't know much about her,only that she wanted me to grow up in a proper family, with a better life than she could give me.I'm certain that I've had every opportunity in life that my birth mother would have dreamed for me. You paid for me to go to a private school, and encouraged me to study hard and to go on to university.When I was a teenager. You were my taxi driver, encouraging me to diving competitions and cheering me on from the sidelines.
Every year we took family holidays.As an only child, because you and Dad understandably didn't want to put yourselves through the difficult adoption process again, I was always spoiled with toys, and so much attention.
Probably the greatest gift that you've ever given me was to feel proud about being adopted. It was never kept a secret in our house and you were always very open about how I’d come to be your daughter.
You're my mother in all the ways that really matter, Mum. When I'm stressed with work, or heartbroken over a failed relationship.It's you I call. When I'm sick, you'll drive to my flat to look after me, when I have something to celebrate, we'll go out together. You're my best friend,Mum.
Love, Hannah

C
On Wednesday, two things happened. In Syria, 80 people were killed by government airstrikes. Meanwhile, in Florida, Elon Musk’s SpaceX successfully launched and fired a sports car into space. Guess which story has dominated mainstream news sites
The launch of Musk’s Falcon Heavy rocket, the most powerful ever launched by a private company, went off successfully. Musk sent his cherry-red Tesla roadster running toward Mars, launching “a new space age”. The event attracted phenomenal publicity and made the rocket launch a masterstroke of advertising for Tesla.
Meanwhile, in Syria, where hundreds of thousands of refugees(难民) may be forced to return to unsafe homes, a UN human rights coordinator for Syria said despondently(沮丧地) that he was no longer sure why he bothers to videotape the effects of bombing, since nobody ever pays attention. He wondered what level of violence it would take to make the world care.
There is, perhaps, no better way to appreciate the tragedy of 21st-century global inequality than by watching a billionaire spend $90m launching a $100,000 car into space.
Musk said he wanted to participate in a space race because “races are exciting” and that while strapping his car to a rocket may be “silly and fun … silly and fun things are important”. Thus, anyone who mentions the huge waste the project involves, or the various social uses to which these resources could be put, can be dismissed as a killjoy.
But one doesn’t have to hate fun to question the justification for pursuing a costly new space race at exactly this moment. If we examine the situation honestly, it becomes hard to defend a project like this.
A mission to Mars does indeed sound exciting, but it’s important to have our priorities straight. First, perhaps we could make it so that a child no longer dies of malaria every two minutes. Or we could try to address the level of poverty in Alabama which has become so extreme that the UN investigator did not believe it could occur in a first-world country. Perhaps when violence, poverty and disease are solved, then we can head for the stars.
Many might think that what Elon Musk chooses to do with his billions is Elon Musk’s business alone. If he wanted to spend all his money on medicine for children, that would be nice, but if he’d like to spend it making big explosions and sending his convertible on a million-mile space voyage, that’s his right.
But Musk is only rich enough to afford these money-consuming projects because we have allowed social inequalities to arise in the first place. If wealth were actually distributed fairly in this country, nobody would be in a position to fund his own private space program.
Elon Musk is right: silly and fun things are important. But some of them are an indefensible waste of resources. While there are still humanitarian crises such as that in Syria, nobody can justify vast spending on rocketry experiments.
37. Why does the writer mention the two pieces of news at the beginning of the passage

【答案】37. A 38. C 39. D 40. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是议论文。文章通过两条新闻的对比，引起人们对社会财富分配不公的关注。作者认为 解决世界上的暴力、贫穷和疾病等问题是我们要首先考虑的事情。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“On Wednesday, two things happened. In Syria, 80 people were killed by government airstrikes. Meanwhile, in Florida, Elon Musk’s SpaceX successfully launched and fired a sports car into space. Guess which story has dominated mainstream news sites (周三，发生了两件事。在叙利亚，政府的空袭造成80人死亡。与此同时，在佛罗里达州，埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）的SpaceX成功地将一辆跑车发射到太空。猜猜哪个故事占据了主流新闻网站？)”和第二段“The launch of Musk’s Falcon Heavy rocket, the most powerful ever launched by a private company, went off successfully. Musk sent his cherry-red Tesla roadster running toward Mars, launching “a new space age”. The event attracted phenomenal publicity and made the rocket launch a masterstroke of advertising for Tesla.( 马斯克的猎鹰重型火箭（Falcon Heavy）发射成功，这是私人公司发射的最强大的火箭。马斯克向火星发送了他的樱桃红色特斯拉跑车，开启了“新的太空时代”。该活动吸引了大量的宣传，并使火箭发射成为特斯拉广告的一大亮点。)”以及第三段的“ a UN human rights coordinator for Syria said despondently(沮丧地) that he was no longer sure why he bothers to videotape the effects of bombing, since nobody ever pays attention. (联合国叙利亚人权协调员沮丧地说，他不确定为什么要费心拍摄轰炸的影响，因为从来没有人关注。)”可知，第二条新闻吸引了惊人的注意力，第一条新闻却几乎无人关注。因此可以推断，作者提到这两条新闻是为了说明说明财富分配的不平等以及由此引起的注意力分配的不平等。故选A。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“a UN human rights coordinator for Syria said despondently(沮丧地) that he was no longer sure why he bothers to videotape the effects of bombing, since nobody ever pays attention. (联合国叙利亚人权协调员沮丧地说，他不确定为什么要费心拍摄轰炸的影响，因为从来没有人关注。)”可知，叙利亚的联合国人权协调员感到很沮丧，是因为他觉得不管他怎么努力，似乎没有人关心叙利亚的局势。故选C。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“If we examine the situation honestly, it becomes hard to defend a project like this.(如果我们诚实地审视形势，就很难为这样的项目辩护。)”和第七段“A mission to Mars does indeed sound exciting, but it’s important to have our priorities straight. First, perhaps we could make it so that a child no longer dies of malaria every two minutes. Or we could try to address the level of poverty in Alabama which has become so extreme that the UN investigator did not believe it could occur in a first-world country. Perhaps when violence, poverty and disease are solved, then we can head for the stars. (前往火星的任务听起来确实令人兴奋，但明确我们的优先事项很重要。首先，也许我们可以做到每两分钟一个孩子不再死于疟疾。或者，我们可以尝试解决阿拉巴马州的贫困水平，该州的贫困程度已变得如此极端，以至于联合国调查人员不相信这可能发生在第一世界国家。也许当暴力、贫困和疾病得到解决时，我们就能走向星空。)”可知，在第六段和第七段，作者认为解决暴力、贫穷和疾病问题应是我们优先考虑的事情。故选D。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第七段“First, perhaps we could make it so that a child no longer dies of malaria every two minutes. Or we could try to address the level of poverty in Alabama which has become so extreme that the UN investigator did not believe it could occur in a first-world country. Perhaps when violence, poverty and disease are solved, then we can head for the stars. (首先，也许我们可以做到每两分钟一个孩子不再死于疟疾。或者，我们可以尝试解决阿拉巴马州的贫困水平，该州的贫困程度已变得如此极端，以至于联合国调查人员不相信这可能发生在第一世界国家。也许当暴力、贫困和疾病得到解决时，我们就能走向星空。)”，第九段“If wealth were actually distributed fairly in this country, nobody would be in a position to fund his own private space program. (如果财富在这个国家得到公平分配，就没有人有资格为自己的私人太空计划提供资金了。)”和最后一段“But some of them are an indefensible waste of resources. (但是其中一些是毫无道理的资源浪费。)”可知，作者认为社会上财富分配不公，一方面资源和财富被浪费，另一方面还存在贫困、疾病、暴力等社会问题。因此推断作者想要告诉我们的是：用于太空项目的资金和资源是浪费，这些资源本可以首先用来解决社会上的贫困、疾病、暴力等社会问题。故选C。
七选五阅读
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(注意：看清楚题号，填涂在答题卡相应位置上)
Maybe you are an ordinary student. ___41___ This is not necessarily so. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:
Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First arrange your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc, then decide a good, regular time for studying. ___42___ A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.
Make good use of your time in class. ___43___ Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. ___44___ If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.
___45___ You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.
A. This will help you understand the next class.
B. You probably think you will never be a top student.
C. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.
D. No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.
E. There are other methods that might help you with your study.

G. Make full use of spare time to take note of what the teacher says in class.
【答案】41. B 42. C 43. F 44. A 45. E
【解析】
【分析】本文为介绍说明文。文章介绍了一些如何成为更优秀学生的方法。
【41题详解】
根据空前句子Maybe you are an ordinary student(也许，你是一名普通的学生)和空后句子This is not necessarily so. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to.(这并非一定如此。任何人都能成为一名更优秀的学生，如果他/她想要的话)可知，B项：You probably think you will never be a top student.(你也许认为你永远成不了尖子生)符合上下文语境。故选B。
【42题详解】
本段主要讲述时间安排，根据空前句子First arrange your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc, then decide a good, regular time for studying.(首先安排吃饭、睡觉、穿衣等事情的时间，然后确定一个好而规律的学习时间)可知，除了这些，我们还要安排娱乐的时间，这也是常识性问题，人们不可能一直工作或学习。C项：Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.(别忘了留出足够的时间娱乐。)符合语境。故选C。
43题详解】
根据空前句子Make good use of your time in class.(利用好课堂时间)和空后句子Listening carefully in class means less work later.(课上认真听课意味着稍后节省劳动量)可知，F项：Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.(利用课堂时间，认真听老师所讲的一切)符合上下文语境。故选F。
【44题详解】
根据空前句子When you get home from school,go over your notes,review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day,read that material.可知，放学后我们要做好温习和预习工作，那么第二天上课的效率才会更好一点。A项：This will help you understand the next class.(这将帮助你理解下一节课。)与上文是因果关系，故选A。
【45题详解】
根据空后句子You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.(在你试了这些方法后，你将可能发现许多其他方法)可知，E项：There are other methods that might help you with your study.(有其它方法也许能帮到你的学习)符合语境。故选E。
【点睛】七选五题型主要考查上下文的理解与推断，虽然文章整体难度一般低于阅读理解，但是却给很多同学造成了很大的心理障碍。七个选项中选五个，比四个选项中选一个，感觉干扰性更大，很大同学在做这个题目时，总有一种眼花缭乱、心烦气躁的感觉，致使往往正确率不高。在这里提醒同学们，首先要克服心理障碍，同时要注意方式方法。首先，要使用铅笔在试题上标识，确定出来的选项就用铅笔划掉，一旦发现选择有误，可以方便修改，减少干扰；第二，一定要注意文章开头的段落，文章第一段一般是主题段，会点明一篇文章要讲述的内容，做到心中有数；第三，注意设空前后的句子，因为这些句子之间是顺承和联系的，所有一定要联系和理解上下文的语境，找准原文中的关键词（组）和选项中的匹配信息。如第3小题，空前句子Make good use of（关键词组） your time in class（关键词组）.和空后句子Listening carefully in class（关键词组） means less work later.；F选项Take advantage of （与原文Make goo use of匹配）class time（与原文time in class匹配） to listen to everything（与原文Listening carefully in class匹配） the teacher says.由此可确定此处应使用F选项。
第II卷 (主观题 共50分)
第四部分：写作(共四节，满分50分)

【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：由百度开发，Robobus长5.9米。句子谓语动词是系动词is，空格处填入非谓语动词，主语Robobus和develop之间是被动关系，用过去分词作状语。故填Developed。
【57题详解】

【60题详解】

I am grateful to my English teacher Susan, at whose help I couldn’t have won first prize in the English Talent Competition for high school student last week.
I used to be poorly in spoken English. I was too shy to speak in class. Since she teaches us last term, she has been encouraging him to overcome fear and speak out in class. Thanks to her, I have made great progresses. Besides, I practiced several times in the front of her. It was her advice which made me a better speaker and full of confidence. And I owe my success to her.
Susan has set me a good example. I am determined become an English teacher when I grow up.
【答案】1. at → without
2. student → students
3. poorly → poor
4. teaches → taught
5. him → me
6. progresses → progress
7. front前的the删除
8. which → that
9. And → So
10. become前加to
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者主要记叙了自己的英语老师Susan对自己学习上的帮助。老师帮助作者克服恐惧，在课堂上发言，正是她的建议使作者成为了一个更好的演讲者。
【详解】1.考查介词。句意：我很感激我的英语老师Susan，没有她的帮助，我不可能在上周的高中生英语才艺比赛中获得一等奖。此处为“介词+关系代词”结构定语从句，且结合句意可知表示“没有”应用介词without。故at改为without。
2.考查名词的数。句意同上。student为可数名词，前面没有冠词，故应用复数形式。故student改为students。
3.考查形容词。句意：我过去英语口语很差。根据上文I used to be可知，此处作的表语应用形容词 poor，短语：be poor in“在……方面差”。故poorly改为poor。
4.考查动词时态。句意：自从她上学期教我们以来，她一直鼓励我克服恐惧，在课堂上大声说出来。根据“last term”可知应用一般过去时。故teaches改为taught。
5.考查代词。句意：自从上学期她教我们，她一直鼓励我克服恐惧，在课堂上大声说出来。结合本文是以第一人称来写的，所以此处应用 me作encouraging的宾语。故him改为me。
6.考查名词。句意：多亏了她，我取得了很大的进步。progress为不可数名词，没有复数形式，短语：make great progress“取得巨大进步”。故progresses改为progress。
7.考查固定短语。句意：此外，我在她面前练习了好几次。结合句意表示“在某人的前面”应用短语 in front of，in the front of 强调在空间内部的前面。故去掉front前面的the。
8.考查强调句。句意：正是她的建议使我成为一个更好的演讲者，充满了自信。分析句子结构可知，此处为强调句结构“it is/was +被强调部分+that/who +其他”，被强调部分为人时，that可以替换为who，此处强调her advice“她的建议”，应用that。故which改为that。
9.考查连词。句意：所以我的成功归功于她。结合上下文语境可知此处为因果关系，应用连词so。故And改为So。
10.考查动词时态。句意：我决心长大后当一名英语老师。短语：be determined to do“决心做某事”，所以在become前加to，故become前加to。

Dear Mum,
You didn't carry me inside you,or give birth to me. Yet our connection as mother and daughter is just as deep,maybe even deeper,as it would have been if we'd had a physical connection.
Even though I’m in my twenties now,we still celebrate my "special day" every June; the anniversary of the date that I legally became your daughter,and was brought from my home to live with you and.Dad.It's a date that I never want to forget, because it marked the beginning of our lives together as a family.
I was just nine weeks old when I was given up by my birth mother. I don't know much about her,only that she wanted me to grow up in a proper family, with a better life than she could give me.I'm certain that I've had every opportunity in life that my birth mother would have dreamed for me. You paid for me to go to a private school, and encouraged me to study hard and to go on to university.When I was a teenager. You were my taxi driver, encouraging me to diving competitions and cheering me on from the sidelines.
Every year we took family holidays.As an only child, because you and Dad understandably didn't want to put yourselves through the difficult adoption process again, I was always spoiled with toys, and so much attention.
Probably the greatest gift that you've ever given me was to feel proud about being adopted. It was never kept a secret in our house and you were always very open about how I’d come to be your daughter.
You're my mother in all the ways that really matter, Mum. When I'm stressed with work, or heartbroken over a failed relationship.It's you I call. When I'm sick, you'll drive to my flat to look after me, when I have something to celebrate, we'll go out together. You're my best friend,Mum.
Love, Hannah

C
On Wednesday, two things happened. In Syria, 80 people were killed by government airstrikes. Meanwhile, in Florida, Elon Musk’s SpaceX successfully launched and fired a sports car into space. Guess which story has dominated mainstream news sites
The launch of Musk’s Falcon Heavy rocket, the most powerful ever launched by a private company, went off successfully. Musk sent his cherry-red Tesla roadster running toward Mars, launching “a new space age”. The event attracted phenomenal publicity and made the rocket launch a masterstroke of advertising for Tesla.
Meanwhile, in Syria, where hundreds of thousands of refugees(难民) may be forced to return to unsafe homes, a UN human rights coordinator for Syria said despondently(沮丧地) that he was no longer sure why he bothers to videotape the effects of bombing, since nobody ever pays attention. He wondered what level of violence it would take to make the world care.
There is, perhaps, no better way to appreciate the tragedy of 21st-century global inequality than by watching a billionaire spend $90m launching a $100,000 car into space.
Musk said he wanted to participate in a space race because “races are exciting” and that while strapping his car to a rocket may be “silly and fun … silly and fun things are important”. Thus, anyone who mentions the huge waste the project involves, or the various social uses to which these resources could be put, can be dismissed as a killjoy.
But one doesn’t have to hate fun to question the justification for pursuing a costly new space race at exactly this moment. If we examine the situation honestly, it becomes hard to defend a project like this.
A mission to Mars does indeed sound exciting, but it’s important to have our priorities straight. First, perhaps we could make it so that a child no longer dies of malaria every two minutes. Or we could try to address the level of poverty in Alabama which has become so extreme that the UN investigator did not believe it could occur in a first-world country. Perhaps when violence, poverty and disease are solved, then we can head for the stars.
Many might think that what Elon Musk chooses to do with his billions is Elon Musk’s business alone. If he wanted to spend all his money on medicine for children, that would be nice, but if he’d like to spend it making big explosions and sending his convertible on a million-mile space voyage, that’s his right.
But Musk is only rich enough to afford these money-consuming projects because we have allowed social inequalities to arise in the first place. If wealth were actually distributed fairly in this country, nobody would be in a position to fund his own private space program.
Elon Musk is right: silly and fun things are important. But some of them are an indefensible waste of resources. While there are still humanitarian crises such as that in Syria nobody can justify vast spending on rocketry experiments.
37. Why does the writer mention the two pieces of news at the beginning of the passage
A. To illustrate the inequality of wealth distribution and the consequent inequality of attention distribution.
B. To highlight the significance of SpaceX’s successful launch of a rocket and a car into space.
C. To appeal to the government for more attention to the air strikes and refugee crisis in Syria.
D. To find out which news dominated the mainstream news sites.
38. Why did the UN human rights coordinator for Syria feel disappointed
A. Because nobody appreciated his work and all the efforts he made.
B. Because the violence in Syria is not serious enough to make the world care.
C. Because however hard he tried, nobody seemed to care about the situation in Syria.
D. Because he had great difficulty videotaping the effects of bombing.
39. What is implied in Paragraph 6 and 7
A. The space project of SpaceX cost the government too much money.
B. It kills the fun to question the justification of the pursuit of space programs.
C. Space programs are a waste of money that cannot be justified.
D. Addressing problems of violence, poverty and diseases should be our top priority.
40. What does the writer mainly want to tell us
A. We should pay equal attention to space projects and solving social problems.
B. No private companies should be allowed to spend money in rocketry experiments.
C. The money and resources used in space projects could have been used to deal with various social problems.
D. Elon Musk should be blamed for misleading the public.
