Four Hotels That Will Make Your Life Easier
Marriott Detroit Airport
It’s such an ideal option for business travelers in a hurry. Here is the basic idea: You download the iPhone or Android app. The night before, you can “check-in” virtually. When you arrive you get a message that the room is ready and your key, which is already tied to your reservation, is waiting for you at the desk.
Yotel New York
The self-service kiosks (一体机) at this high-tech New York hotel are open 24x7 and work just like the ones you’d see at an airport. There are just five-steps to register and obtain your room card. There’s even a luggage robot. You tap in the number of bags you’re carrying, then wait for a robot arm to swing down and store your luggage in a locker.
Hyatt Regency Minneapolis
Business travelers like the fast kiosk check-in works. Like the Yotel, the kiosk asks you to put in your credit card. The whole process takes about three minutes. When travelers leave, they can be equally impressed with the fast check-out. You never have to wait in line.
Radisson LaCrosse
The Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster, you use a mobile app to register and then receive a password by email or text. When you get to the kiosk, you can scan the password to get your key without any other steps required. It’s incredibly fast.
1. Which hotel has the self-service luggage locker
A. Marriott Detroit Airport. B. Yotel New York.
C. Hyatt Regency Minneapolis. D. Radisson LaCrosse.
2. What do Marriott Detroit Airport and Radisson LaCrosse have in common
A. They provide key-free service.
B. They both have the fastest check-in process.
C. Travelers need to check in with a credit card.
D. Travelers can check in with their mobile phones.
3 What’s the main purpose of the text
A. To assess the service of the hotels. B. To criticize the service of the hotels.
C. To recommend hotels with fast service. D. To help customers check in and check out.
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了让商务人士入住和退房更轻松便捷的4家宾馆。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据文章Yotel New York部分中“There’s even a luggage robot. You tap in the number of bags you’re carrying, then wait for a robot arm to swing down and store your luggage in a locker.(甚至还有一个行李机器人。你可以输入你携带的行李数量，然后等待机器手臂摆下来，把你的行李存放在储物柜里。)”可知，顾客在Yotel New York里使用一体机可以自助存储行李。故选B。
2. 细节理解题。根据Marriott Detroit Airport部分中“You download the iPhone or Android app. The night before, you can ‘check-in’ virtually.(你下载iPhone或 Android应用程序。前一天晚上，你可以虚拟地“签到”。)”和Radisson LaCrosse部分中 “…you use a mobile app to register and then receive a password by email or text.(你使用手机应用程序注册，然后通过电子邮件或文本接收密码)”可知，两个宾馆都可以提供客人使用手机办理入住手续，故选D。
3.推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是本文标题“Four Hotels That Will Make Your Life Easier(让你的生活更轻松的四家酒店)”可知，全文向读者介绍了4家办理入住和退房手续都很高效的酒店，由此可推知，文章的目的是推荐服务快捷的酒店。故选C。
B
My husband Robert and I had volunteered to help build an irrigation (灌溉) system for bananas in Zambia. The Heart of Africa Mission is run by local Zambians, with a focus on community development. We were there to share our agricultural (农业的) experience and knowledge with the African farmers.
We left snow-covered Alberta, Canada in January. We spent the next four weeks working side by side with the local Zambians in a banana plantation (种植园). The banana plantation would help make the Heart of Africa Mission self-supporting. It would also teach banana farming to the students there. Students would go on to teach others. It has done that and more. Through the jobs created, several families now have food, education for their children, and enough housing. The plantation is producing well and is a source of great pride for all who work there.
My husband worked hard at building the irrigation system. But the story he tells most often is of the young man who stopped us on one of our walks somewhere. He pointed to his bike, and laughing widely, told Robert, “Look, look, it still works.” Robert had repaired it for him. A bike in Zambia is like a truck in North America—necessary transportation for people and produce. Robert’s small effort made a big difference in this man’s life.
“We sure appreciate (感激) your sacrifice (牺牲),” our organizer often says. For us it was never a sacrifice, only an honor to have the chance to work in a place so far from our own, to be able to exchange ideas and thoughts. All this happened while living in a beautiful sunny country in the green of the rainy season, while at home in Alberta, the snow would cover the landscape (风景) for months. No, the volunteer work was never a sacrifice. It was only an honor.
4. What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph
A. She likes to take adventures. B. She is probably an expert in agriculture.
C. She started the Heart of Africa Mission. D. She used to live in Africa for a long time.
5. Which of the following best describes the author’s volunteer job
A. Costly. B. Tiring. C. Challenging. D. Fruitful.
6. Why did the young man stop the author and her husband
A. To ask for help. B. To express his thanks.
C. To show his cycling skills. D. To tell them about his work.
7. Why did the author consider the volunteer work an honor
A. It enabled her to work harder. B. It brought her public recognition.
C. It made her appreciate her life more. D. It allowed her to experience different things.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. D
【解析】

【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“For us it was never a sacrifice, only an honor to have the chance to work in a place so far from our own, to be able to exchange ideas and thoughts.”（对我们来说，这从来不是一种牺牲，而是一种荣誉，有机会在一个远离家乡的地方工作，能够交流思想和想法。）可知，作者认为这份志愿者工作能够在远离家乡的地方工作，让她有不同的经历和体验，了解不同的思想和想法，所以是一种荣誉。故选D。
C
Microbiologists have designed a sustainable way to remove polluting microplastics from the environment by using bacteria. Initial design as it is, it paves the way for sustainably lowering plastic pollution levels and stop the “plastification”.
Bacteria naturally tend to group together and stick to surfaces, and this creates a sticky material called “biofilm”. Researchers at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) want to use this adhesive bacteria character and capture microplastics in polluted water to form an easily disposable and recyclable blob(团) .
Sylvia Lang Liu, microbiology researcher at PolyU and lead researcher on this project, together with his team, has engineered a bacterial biofilm, which can fix and absorb microplastics floating around in the water, and make them sink to the bottom of the water. Then the researchers can separate the microplastics from the bacteria traps and get them ready to recycle.
Microplastics are the plastic fragments, usually smaller than 5mm, which are accidentally released into the environment during production and breakdown of grocery bags or water bottles, or during everyday activities such as washing synthetic (合成的) clothes or using personal care products with scrubbing microbeads in them. Microplastics are visually tiny, making it challenging to develop effective solutions to trap, collect, and recycle them.
Microplastics are not easily biodegradable (生物降解的), so they stick around for long and absorb and accumulate poisonous chemicals. They spread into wastewater and into the oceans, endangering marine animals and eventually threatening human health, Microplastics had been found in more than 114 species living in the water and also salt, lettuce, apples, and more in 2018 according to the International Maritime Organization.
“This is an innovative application of biofilm engineering l0 address the plastio pollution crisis,” said Dr Joanna Sadler, researcher at University of Edinburgh, who was not involved in this study. “One of the biggest challenges in dealing with microplastics is capturing such small particles. Liu and co-workers have denmonstrated an elegant solution to this problem, which holds great potential to be further developed into a real-world wastewater treatment technology.”
8. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “adhesive” in Paragraph 2
A. Floating. B. Sticky. C. Diverse. D. Visual.
9. Why are microplastics hard to capture
A. They are visually too small. B. They are hard to biodegrade.
C. They continue to exist for long. D. They are poisonous chemicals.
10. What can be learned from the last paragraph
A. Small particles are essential to address water pollution
B. Biofilm bas been widely used to settle plastic pollution.
C. Sadler thinks little of the biofilm engineering application.
D. Biofilm application is promising for wastewater treatment.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. Microplastic removal. B. Uses of bacteria.
C. Wastewater treatment. D. Plastic pollution.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了微生物学家设计了一种可持续的方法，利用细菌去除环境中的污染微塑料。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句“Bacteria naturally tend to group together and stick to surfaces, and this creates a sticky material called “biofilm”（细菌自然倾向于聚集在一起并粘在表面上，这就产生了一种被称为“生物膜”的粘性物质）可知，细菌会黏在表面上形成一种叫做生物膜的黏性物质，并且科学家们想利用这种细菌特性。因此可推断出，adhesive 就是“有黏性的”。故选 B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句 “Microplastics are visually tiny, making it challenging to develop effective solutions to trap, collect, and recycle them. ”（微塑料在视觉上非常微小，这使得开发有效的捕获、收集和回收它们的解决方案具有挑战性）可知，微塑料很难收集回收是因为他们看起来很微小。故选 A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“ Liu and co-workers have demonstrated an elegant solution to this problem, which holds great potential to be further developed into a real-world wastewater treatment technology.”（刘和同事们展示了一种解决这个问题的优雅方案，该方案有很大的潜力被进一步发展成现实世界中的废水处理技术）可知，生物学家们已经演示了一个处理微塑料的方法，这个方法很有潜力被研发成一项废水处理科技。所以 D 项“生物膜工程在废水处理方面很有前景”正确。故答案选 D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据本文第一段第一句“Microbiologists have designed a sustainable way to remove polluting microplastics from the environment by using bacteria.”（微生物学家设计了一种可持续的方法，利用细菌去除环境中的污染微塑料） 可知，短文主要是讲述微生物学家设计出了一种方法移除环境中有污染性的微塑料。因此本文的标题为“微塑料的移除”。故选A项。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的古建筑，介绍了其特点和独特的外观等情况。
【32题详解】
考查介词。句意：中国古代建筑因其精致的木结构、优雅的外观和美丽的装饰而著称。结合句意表示“因为”应用介词for。故填for。
【33题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：为了在频繁的洪水和其他自然灾害中幸存下来，中国古代的大多数建筑结构首选木材。根据后文in ancient China可知应用一般过去时，且主语与谓语动词构成被动关系，故应用一般过去时的被动语态，主语为wood，谓语动词用单数。故填was preferred。
【34题详解】
考查形容词。句意：中国的传统木结构是相当复杂的，有时没有钉子！修饰后文名词structures应用形容词traditional，作定语。故填traditional。
【35题详解】
考查副词。句意：除此之外，现存的中国古代建筑也因其优美的外形和各种不同的特征而广受赞誉，如悬垂的屋檐、翘起的屋角和不同形状的屋顶。修饰动词praise应用副词widely，表示“广泛地”，wide作副词时表示“宽地”不符合语境。故填widely。
【36题详解】
考查名词的数。句意同上。shape为可数名词，由different修饰应用复数。故填shapes。
【37题详解】
考查形式宾语。句意：独特的外观不仅满足了建筑的实用功能，也使其外观美观成为可能。make后跟it作形式宾语为固定用法，短语make it possible for“使……成为可能”。故填it。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：中国古代的建筑师特别注重装饰，根据特定的建筑功能或地方习俗使用不同的色彩或绘画。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词Architects，先行词在从句中作主语，指人，应用关系代词who。故填who。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：雕刻的梁，画的椽，各种图案，雕刻的板和壁画被用来增加一个丰富多彩的和美丽的风格内部。表示“被用来做某事”短语为be used to do sth.。故填to add。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：建筑物的外面装饰有石狮、屏风、装饰柱和鲜花。此处特指古建筑的外部，outside前应用定冠词the。句首单词首字母要大写。故填The。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：许多由著名建筑师设计的古建筑每年都吸引着许多游客。分析句子结构可知design在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语buildings构成被动关系，故应用过去分词作定语。故填designed。

53. 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。
Jenny lived in a small village. When she was a child, what she liked to do most was watch the blue sky and enjoy birds flying freely in the sky. She always imagined that some day she could also fly in the sky like a bird.
When Jane was in the fourth grade, one day, her teacher asked them to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up. She poured her heart into her report and wrote that she dreamed to become an airline pilot in the future. She thought that she did a great job because she expressed her real idea successfully. However, to her surprise, her paper came back with an “F” on it. The teacher told her it was nothing but a “fairy tale”, which could never become true. Jenny felt completely disappointed and sad. In her heart, she didn't want to accept that a girl couldn't become a pilot. But as the years went by, Jenny was beaten down by the discouragement again and again from people around her. “Girls can't become airline pilots; never have, never will. You're crazy.” Finally, Jenny gave up her dream.
However, when Jenny studied in her senior year of high school, she met an English teacher called Marsha, who was a strict teacher with high standards but very kind. She often inspired her students to do something meaningful in the future. One day, Mrs. Marsha asked all the students to think about the question: “What will you do in the future ” At that time, Jenny hesitated for a while. She was worried that she would be laughed at again. But soon she felt a rush of the old enthusiasm, and with excitement she wrote down the very old dream of becoming a pilot right away.
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。
The next day, Marsha came into the classroom with a bright smile on her face.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】Para 1:
The next day, Marsha came into the classroom with a bright smile on her face. She praised all the students for what they had finished including Jenny. Mrs. Marsha told Jenny that her dream was wonderful and she was sure that Jenny would have the abilities and talents to make it come true if she tried her best. Besides, she also encouraged Jenny to keep on trying without worrying about others' opinions. Hearing the words, Jenny felt a relief from her heart and made up her mind to study hard to realize her dream.
Para 2:
The hurt and fear of years of discouragement disappeared. Encouraged and full of passion, Jenny began to pursue her dream with all her effort. In the following ten years，she studied hard and never gave up even when she was faced with all kinds of difficulties. Eventually, Jenny became a pilot of a famous airline company, realizing her dream of flying in the sky like a bird. All of us may meet different difficulties on our way to success, but if we keep on trying without giving up, we will make it come true.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了珍妮在报告中写道梦想是将来成为一名航空公司飞行员，但是老师却给了她“F”，告诉她那不过是一个“童话”，不可能成为现实。结果在高中，珍妮遇到了一个叫玛莎的英语老师，再次表达了自己想成为飞行员的梦想，却得到了老师的鼓励，最终珍妮实现了自己的梦想。

A
Four Hotels That Will Make Your Life Easier
Marriott Detroit Airport
It’s such an ideal option for business travelers in a hurry. Here is the basic idea: You download the iPhone or Android app. The night before, you can “check-in” virtually. When you arrive you get a message that the room is ready and your key, which is already tied to your reservation, is waiting for you at the desk.
Yotel New York
The self-service kiosks (一体机) at this high-tech New York hotel are open 24x7 and work just like the ones you’d see at an airport. There are just five-steps to register and obtain your room card. There’s even a luggage robot. You tap in the number of bags you’re carrying, then wait for a robot arm to swing down and store your luggage in a locker.
Hyatt Regency Minneapolis
Business travelers like the fast kiosk check-in works. Like the Yotel, the kiosk asks you to put in your credit card. The whole process takes about three minutes. When travelers leave, they can be equally impressed with the fast check-out. You never have to wait in line.
Radisson LaCrosse
The Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster, you use a mobile app to register and then receive a password by email or text. When you get to the kiosk, you can scan the password to get your key without any other steps required. It’s incredibly fast.
1. Which hotel has the self-service luggage locker
A. Marriott Detroit Airport. B. Yotel New York.
C. Hyatt Regency Minneapolis. D. Radisson LaCrosse.
2. What do Marriott Detroit Airport and Radisson LaCrosse have in common
A. They provide key-free service.
B. They both have the fastest check-in process.
C Travelers need to check in with a credit card.
D. Travelers can check in with their mobile phones.
3. What’s the main purpose of the text
A. To assess the service of the hotels. B. To criticize the service of the hotels.
C. To recommend hotels with fast service. D. To help customers check in and check out.
B
My husband Robert and I had volunteered to help build an irrigation (灌溉) system for bananas in Zambia. The Heart of Africa Mission is run by local Zambians, with a focus on community development. We were there to share our agricultural (农业的) experience and knowledge with the African farmers.
We left snow-covered Alberta, Canada in January. We spent the next four weeks working side by side with the local Zambians in a banana plantation (种植园). The banana plantation would help make the Heart of Africa Mission self-supporting. It would also teach banana farming to the students there. Students would go on to teach others. It has done that and more. Through the jobs created, several families now have food, education for their children, and enough housing. The plantation is producing well and is a source of great pride for all who work there.
My husband worked hard at building the irrigation system. But the story he tells most often is of the young man who stopped us on one of our walks somewhere. He pointed to his bike, and laughing widely, told Robert, “Look, look, it still works.” Robert had repaired it for him. A bike in Zambia is like a truck in North America—necessary transportation for people and produce. Robert’s small effort made a big difference in this man’s life.
“We sure appreciate (感激) your sacrifice (牺牲)” our organizer often says. For us it was never a sacrifice, only an honor to have the chance to work in a place so far from our own, to be able to exchange ideas and thoughts. All this happened while living in a beautiful sunny country in the green of the rainy season, while at home in Alberta, the snow would cover the landscape (风景) for months. No, the volunteer work was never a sacrifice. It was only an honor.
4. What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph
A. She likes to take adventures. B. She is probably an expert in agriculture.
C. She started the Heart of Africa Mission. D. She used to live in Africa for a long time.
5. Which of the following best describes the author’s volunteer job
A. Costly. B. Tiring. C. Challenging. D. Fruitful.
6. Why did the young man stop the author and her husband
A. To ask for help. B. To express his thanks.
C. To show his cycling skills. D. To tell them about his work.
7. Why did the author consider the volunteer work an honor
A. It enabled her to work harder. B. It brought her public recognition.
C. It made her appreciate her life more. D. It allowed her to experience different things.
C
Microbiologists have designed a sustainable way to remove polluting microplastics from the environment by using bacteria. Initial design as it is, it paves the way for sustainably lowering plastic pollution levels and stop the “plastification”.
Bacteria naturally tend to group together and stick to surfaces, and this creates a sticky material called “biofilm”. Researchers at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) want to use this adhesive bacteria character and capture microplastics in polluted water to form an easily disposable and recyclable blob(团) .
Sylvia Lang Liu, microbiology researcher at PolyU and lead researcher on this project, together with his team, has engineered a bacterial biofilm, which can fix and absorb microplastics floating around in the water, and make them sink to the bottom of the water. Then the researchers can separate the microplastics from the bacteria traps and get them ready to recycle.
Microplastics are the plastic fragments, usually smaller than 5mm, which are accidentally released into the environment during production and breakdown of grocery bags or water bottles, or during everyday activities such as washing synthetic (合成) clothes or using personal care products with scrubbing microbeads in them. Microplastics are visually tiny, making it challenging to develop effective solutions to trap, collect, and recycle them.
Microplastics are not easily biodegradable (生物降解的), so they stick around for long and absorb and accumulate poisonous chemicals. They spread into wastewater and into the oceans, endangering marine animals and eventually threatening human health, Microplastics had been found in more than 114 species living in the water and also salt, lettuce, apples, and more in 2018 according to the International Maritime Organization.
“This is an innovative application of biofilm engineering l0 address the plastio pollution crisis,” said Dr Joanna Sadler, researcher at University of Edinburgh, who was not involved in this study. “One of the biggest challenges in dealing with microplastics is capturing such small particles. Liu and co-workers have denmonstrated an elegant solution to this problem, which holds great potential to be further developed into a real-world wastewater treatment technology.”
8. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “adhesive” in Paragraph 2
A. Floating. B. Sticky. C. Diverse. D. Visual.
9. Why are microplastics hard to capture
A. They are visually too small. B. They are hard to biodegrade.
C. They continue to exist for long. D. They are poisonous chemicals.
10. What can be learned from the last paragraph
A. Small particles are essential to address water pollution
B. Biofilm bas been widely used to settle plastic pollution.
C. Sadler thinks little of the biofilm engineering application.
D. Biofilm application is promising for wastewater treatment.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. Microplastic removal. B. Uses of bacteria.
C. Wastewater treatment. D. Plastic pollution.

____16____ It not only makes your to-do list more manageable, but also it gives you more control over your day and helps you prioritize your tasks. It also improves your focus and helps get rid of procrastination(拖延症), as it allows you to focus on one project at a time.

53. 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。
Jenny lived in a small village. When she was a child, what she liked to do most was watch the blue sky and enjoy birds flying freely in the sky. She always imagined that some day she could also fly in the sky like a bird.
When Jane was in the fourth grade, one day, her teacher asked them to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up. She poured her heart into her report and wrote that she dreamed to become an airline pilot in the future. She thought that she did a great job because she expressed her real idea successfully. However, to her surprise, her paper came back with an “F” on it. The teacher told her it was nothing but a “fairy tale”, which could never become true. Jenny felt completely disappointed and sad. In her heart, she didn't want to accept that a girl couldn't become a pilot. But as the years went by, Jenny was beaten down by the discouragement again and again from people around her. “Girls can't become airline pilots; never have, never will. You're crazy.” Finally, Jenny gave up her dream.
However, when Jenny studied in her senior year of high school, she met an English teacher called Marsha, who was a strict teacher with high standards but very kind. She often inspired her students to do something meaningful in the future. One day, Mrs. Marsha asked all the students to think about the question: “What will you do in the future ” At that time, Jenny hesitated for a while. She was worried that she would be laughed at again. But soon she felt a rush of the old enthusiasm, and with excitement she wrote down the very old dream of becoming a pilot right away.
