Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Thanksgiving
is
a
time
to
give
thanks
to
family，health,
and
life
in
general.
However,
Black
Friday
has
turned
it
into
business.
Traditionally，the
true
value
of
Thanksgiving
lies
at
home
not
the
shopping
centers.
However,
Black
Friday
has
nowadays
allowed
society
to
ignore
this
as
individuals
long
for
something
that
they
do
not
need
or
even
truly
want.
Shopping
on
Black
Friday
becomes
a
sign
of
a
shift
into
a
culture
that
values
material
wealth
over
spending
time
with
loved
ones.
People
are
willing
to
force
their
way
through
the
crowds
in
their
desperate
search
for
marked down
sweaters
and
necklaces.
In
recent
years，Thanksgiving
has
become
a
pre Black
Friday
holiday
for
many
families.
They
are
devoted
to
mapping
out
shopping
routes
and
making
organized
schedules
for
which
stores
to
hit
first.
By
drawing
individuals
out
to
shopping
centers
with
“matchless
savings”，
businesses
encourage
this
behavior
of
ignoring
Thanksgiving.
Many
families
take
their
home cooked
meals
while
camping
out
at
the
door
of
shopping
centers.With
each
new
year,
Thanksgiving
is
becoming
victim
to
over commercialization—switching
from
a
meaningful
time
for
family
to
a
day
dedicated
to
products
and
profit.
Black
Friday
has
shown
that
with
current
common
standards，people
cannot
even
set
aside
a
single
day
to
appreciate
what
they
already
have
without
immediately
buying
more.
Families
have
lost
sight
of
what
is
truly
important
in
life，and
have
found
reasons
in
debating
between
a
low cost
HD
television
and
appreciation
for
what
they
already
have.
Remember
that
Thanksgiving
should
be
a
day
on
which
people
are
grateful
for
all
that
they
have.
1．What
does
the
underlined
word
“this”
in
Paragraph
2
probably
refer
to
A．The
sign
of
a
shift.
B．The
material
wealth.
C．The
shopping
crowd.
D．The
true
value
of
Thanksgiving.
2．In
recent
years，what
will
many
families
do
when
Thanksgiving
comes
A．They'll
make
full
preparations
for
the
Black
Friday
shopping.
B．They'll
choose
a
big
store
for
their
first
visit.
C．They'll
visit
some
newly opened
shopping
centers.
D．They'll
go
camping
at
the
gate
of
shopping
centers
for
a
good
deal.
3．In
the
last

mainly

should
________.

aside
a
single
day
to
buy
more
B．stay
with
our
families
as
long
as
we
can
C．try
to
spend
less
to
get
low cost
products
D．appreciate
what
we've
possessed
4．The
author
is
________
about
the
present
ways
people
celebrate
Thanksgiving.

Thursday
is
the
World
Book
Day—a
celebration
of
all
things
wonderful
about
books
for
all
ages,
with
author
events，school
fancy dress
parades
and
a
￡1
book
token
(优惠券)
given
to
all
schoolchildren
under
18.
Sometimes,
reading
a
modern
novel
can
be
tough
(Booker
Prize
winner
The
Luminaries
ran
to
832
pages！),
especially
if
you
lack
confidence
in
your
literacy
skills.
In
fact,
one
in
six
people
in
the
U．K.
never
pick
up
a
book
because
they've
experienced
difficulties
or
are
out
of
the
habit
of
reading
for
pleasure.
But
the
Galaxy
Quick
Reads
series
are
designed
to
introduce
reluctant
readers
to
best selling
short
funny
novels,
which
bring
the
joy
of
reading
without
demanding
hours
of
concentrated
time.
They
cover
a
range
of
subjects,
from
romance
to
comedy.
You
can
read
Jojo
Moyes's
Paris
for
One,
a
romantic
adventure
in
which
26 year old
Nell
books
a
weekend
away
to
Paris
with
her
lazy，neglectful
boyfriend.
When
he
fails
to
turn
up，she
is
alone
in
the
city.
That
is
until
she
meets
Fabien,
who
shows
her
the
charms
of
the
French
capital—in
more
ways
than
one.
Meanwhile,
Adele
Geras's
moving
story
Out
in
the
Dark
was
set
in
World
War
I,
in
which
young
Rob
came
back
from
the
battlefields.Determined
to
find
the
officer's
widow
to
return
the
photo
of
her
and
their
daughter
that
the
captain
kept
with
him,
he
traveled
several
thousand
miles
but
never
gave
up.
Dead
Man
Talking
is
a
fantastic
tale
of
Pat，who
had
a
terrible
fight
with
his
best
friend,
Joe，ten
years
ago—but
now
hears
that
Joe
is
dead，and
he
must
attend
his
funeral.
But
Joe
is
not
going
quietly
that
good
night—he's
lying
in
his
coffin
being
very
chatty
indeed.
5．What

C
(2017·湖南郴州质检)Both
of
my
parents
worked
full time
when
I
was
a
little
girl，so
my
grandmother
would
stay
at
our
house
during
the
day.
We
would
watch
game
shows
in
the
living
room.
Our
favorite
was
The
Price
is
Right.
We
would
call
out
our
answers
along
with
the
contestants.
When
I
got
older
and
started
going
to
school,
we
couldn't
watch
our
game
shows
regularly.
That
was
okay
with
me,
though，because
the
one
thing
I
liked
better
than
watching
game
shows
with
my
grandmother
was
helping
her
bake
(烘烤)
cakes.
Watching
her
in
the
kitchen
was
amazing:
she
never
seemed
to
need
the
recipes
but
everything
she
made
tasted
delicious.
At
first
I
would
just
sit
in
the
kitchen
and
watch,
even
though
I
didn't
understand
what
she
was
doing.
As
I
got
older,
she
let
me
help
with
the
easy
parts,
such
as
measuring
the
sugar.
The
day
she
let
me
separate
the
eggs,
I
felt
like
I
had
found
complete
pleasure.
At
last,
my
parents
decided
that
I
could
take
care
of
myself，and
my
grandmother
stopped
coming
over
every
day.
The
love
of
baking,
however,
stayed
with
me.
I
started
baking
by
myself,
and
even
if
the
cookies
ended
up
burnt
sometimes,
more
often
they
turned
out
pretty
well.
I
tried
out
new
recipes,
and
whenever
I
got
to
a
thorny
part,
I
would
call
my
grandmother
for
advice.
Sometimes
I
would
call
her
just
to
talk,
too.
I
felt
like
I
could
talk
to
her
about
anything.
My
grandmother
passed
away
ten
years
ago,
but
I
still
think
of
her
every
day.
Last
week,
I
found
a
recipe
book
she
made
for
me.
It
included
her
recipes
for
brownies,
cookies,
and
my
favorite,
lemon
pie.
As
I
looked
through
the
pages,
I
thought
I
could
hear
her
voice.
She
was
the
one
who
taught
me
not
just
about
baking,
but
about
life.
8．The
passage
is
mainly
developed
by
________.
A．analyzing

comparisons
C．examining
differences

order
9．While
helping
her
grandmother
bake,

author
________.
A．turned
out
to
be
a
troublemaker
B．found
it
interesting
and
appealing
C．hoped
to
make
a
living
by
baking
D．regretted
missing
the

does
the
underlined
word
”thorny”
in
Paragraph
4
most
probably
mean
A．Basic.
B．Common.
C．Difficult.
D．Special.
11．What's
the

purpose
in
writing
this
passage
A．To
remember
her

good
baking
skills.

【语篇导读】 文章讲述了作者小时候由于父母忙于工作，奶奶每天来照顾她的经历。在这个过程中，奶奶教会了她烘烤，她对此也是乐此不疲。文中写满了对奶奶的怀念。
8．解析：选D。推理判断题。根据文章每一段的关键词：(1)when
I
was
a
little
girl；(2)When
I
got
older
and
started
going
to
school；(3)As
I
got
older；(4)my
parents
decided
that
I
could
take
care
of
myself可知，文章主要是以时间为线索来写的。故选D项。
9．解析：选B。细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后一句中的Watching
her
in
the
kitchen
was
amazing
...及第三段最后一句中的I
had
found
complete
pleasure
...可知，在帮助奶奶烘烤的过程中，作者觉得很有趣。
10．解析：选C。词义猜测题。根据画线词后一句I
would
call
my
grandmother
for
advice.可知，只有碰到问题才会征求建议。由此可以断定，thorny意思是“困难的”，与difficult意义相近。故选C项。basic意为“基础的”；common意为“常见的；普遍的”；special意为“特殊的；特别的”。
11．解析：选A。推理判断题。文章从作者小时候与奶奶相处开始描述，一直到奶奶去世，一直在回忆与奶奶相处的快乐时光，在最后一段再次提出，现在仍然天天想念奶奶。由此可知，作者写这篇文章的目的就是怀念奶奶。故选A项。
长难句分析：That
was
okay
with
me，though，because
the
one
thing
I
liked
better
than
watching
game
shows
with
my
grandmother
was
helping
her
bake
cakes.
句式分析：本句主干结构是That
was
okay
with
me。though放于主句句尾表转折；because引导原因状语从句；原因状语从句中主干结构是the
one
thing
was
helping
her
bake(烘烤)cakes，其中I
liked
better
than
watching
game
shows
with
my
grandmother是省略关系代词的定语从句，修饰先行词thing。
句意：不过，这对于我来说也挺好，因为比跟奶奶看游戏节目更有趣的一件事是帮奶奶烘烤糕点。
D
(2017·安徽合肥模拟)Why
do
people
feel
so
rushed
Part
of
this
is
a
perception
(认知)
problem.
Generally,
people
in
rich
countries
have
more
free
time
than
they
used
to.
This
is
particularly
true
in
Europe,
but
even
in
America
free
time
has
been
inching
up.
Women's
paid
work
has
risen
a
lot
over
this
period,
but
their
time
in
unpaid
work,
like
cooking
and
cleaning,
has
fallen
even
more
significantly,
thanks
in
part
to
dishwashers,
washing
machines
and
microwaves,
and
also
to
the
fact
that
men
shift
themselves
a
little
more
around
the
house
than
they
used
to.
The
problem,
then,
is
less
how
much
time
people
have
than
how
they
see
it.
Ever
since
a
clock
was
first
used
at
a
workplace
to
record
labor
hours
in
the
18th
century,
time
has
been
understood
in
relation
to
money.
Once
hours
are
financially
quantified
(量化)，people
worry
more
about
wasting,
but
tend
to
save
or
use
them
more
profitably.
When
economies
grow
and
incomes
rise，everyone's
time
becomes
more
valuable.
And
the
more
valuable
something
becomes,
the
rarer
it
seems.
Once
seeing
their
time
in
terms
of
money,
people
often
grow_stingy_with
the
former
to
maximize
the
latter.
Workers
who
are
paid
by
the
hour
volunteer
less
of
their
time
and
tend
to
feel
more
upset
when
they
are
not
working.
The
relationship
between
time,
money
and
anxiety
is
something
Gary
Becker
noticed
in
America's
post war
boom
years.“If
anything,
time
is
used
more
carefully
today
than
a
century
ago，”
he
noted
in
1965.
He
found
that
when
people
are
paid
more
to
work,
they
tend
to
work
longer
hours,
because
working
becomes
a
more
profitable
use
of
time.
So
the
rising
value
of
work
time
puts
pressure
on
all
time.
Leisure
time
starts
to
seem
more
stressful,
as
people
are
forced
to
use
it
wisely
or
not
at
all.
12．Women's
time
in
unpaid
work
has
fallen
partly
because
________.
A．men's
ability
to
support
a
family
has
been
improved
B．men's
involvement
in
housework
has
increased
C．women's
leisure
time
was
taken
up
by
heavy
housework
D．women
become
more
skilled
at
household
equipment
13．From
the
second
paragraph,
we
learn
that
________.
A．labor
hours
were
recorded
with
a
clock
B．people
haven't
realized
the
value
of
time
C．more
work
hours
bring
in
more
money
D．the
rise
of
incomes
makes
time
less
valuable
14．The
underlined
phrase
“grow
stingy
with”
can
probably
be
replaced
by
________.
A．refuse
to
delay
B．intend
to
kill
C．try
to
accumulate
D.
hesitate
to
spend
15．According
to
Gary
Becker,
what
causes
people
feel
anxious
about
time
A．The
wrong
way
of
time
being
spent.
B．People's
willingness
to
work
hard.
C．The
increasing
value
of
work
time.
D．More
and
more
leisure
time.

risen
...and
also
to
the
fact
that
men

to.可知，女性在家务中花费的时间变少的一个原因是：与以前相比，男性更多地承担了家务。故选B项。
13．解析：选C。推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后两句When
economies
grow
and
incomes

time
becomes
more
valuable.And
the
more
valuable
something

rarer
it

14．解析：选D。词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的后面一句可知，按时计酬的工人志愿活动花的时间越来越少。故选D项。
15．解析：选C。推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的最后两句So
the
rising

Unique
New
Year
Traditions
from
Around
the
World
How
do
you
celebrate
New
Year's
Day
If
I
had
to
take
a
guess，you
probably
celebrate
it
surrounded
by
family
and
friends，enjoying
drinks
of
your
choice
and
watching
the
ball
drop
with
Dick
Clark.____1____Listed
below
are
four
of
the
top
ten
“Unique
New
Year
Traditions
from
Around
the
World”．
1.
Breaking
Dishes
on
a
Neighbor's
Door
A
strange
Danish
New
Year
tradition，depending
on
how
you
look
at
it,
is
throwing
dishes
at
a
neighbor's
door.____2____The
family
with
the
tallest
pile
of
broken
plates，glasses，cups
and
other
crockery
is
considered
to
be
the
luckiest,
because
it
symbolizes
their
large
number
of
loyal
friends.
2．Talking
to
Spirits
Talking
to
spirits
is
a
part
of
Mexican
beliefs.
Mexicans
strongly
believe
that
they
can
communicate
with
the
souls
of
their
dead
loved
ones.____3____And
this
is
not
done
at
home
on
an
individual
basis,
but
is
a
legal
Mexican
practice.
Taos
Inn,
in
New
Mexico,
for
example,
offers
15
minutes'
session
of
spiritualism
and
meditation
for
$15.6.
Not
a
bad
price
for
some
helpful
guidance!
3.
Wearing
Polka
Dots
Imagine
streets
full
of
people
wearing
polka
dots
and
dining
room
tables
full
of
round shaped
food
and
fruits
on
one
single
day
of
the
year.____4____Philippines
believe
that
this
will
bring
them
prosperity
by
associating
the
round
dots
to
coins
and
wealth.
4.
Burning
Scarecrow
Dummies
Ecuador
has
a
unique
custom
of
crafting
scarecrows
and
then
burning
them
at
midnight.
They
adorn
them
and
fill
the
scarecrows
with
newspapers
and
pieces
of
wood.
As
midnight
approaches,
everyone
gathers
outside
their
home
and
each
family
burns
their
own
scarecrows.____5____The
scarecrow
also
scares
away
bad
luck，which
in
turn,
fills
their
new
year
with
luck
and
happiness.
A．New
Year's
Eve
is
considered
the
best
time
to
communicate
with
dead
spirits
to
convey
a
message
or
ask
for
guidance.
B．It
is
also
believed
in
the
Irish
culture
that
this
act
will
help
them
get
rid
of
bad
luck.
C．Have
you
ever
imagined
what
New
Year's
Day
would
look
like
in
another
country
D．This
all
actually
happens
in
the
Philippines
on
New
Year's
Eve
every
year.
E．Strangely，this
makes
them
happy
instead
of
annoying
them.
F．We
all
want
to
start
a
new，fresh
year
with
renewed
enthusiasm
and
hope.
G．The
tradition
says
that
this
destroys
all
the
bad
things
that
took
place
in
the
past
months.

【语篇导读】 本篇文章说明吃早餐的好处与重要性，提出早餐对青少年尤其重要，所以一定要养成吃早餐的习惯。
1．ability 设空处位于名词所有格kids'的后面，应用名词形式，故填able的名词形式ability。
2．consisting 句意：至少由五大食物种类中的两类组成的一餐是最健康的……。该句谓语为is，is与设空处之间没有并列连词，故设空处为非谓语形式，且作主语meal的定语，meal与consist之间为主动关系，故填consisting。
3．but/yet 根据前后句子的逻辑关系，此处表示转折，所以应填but/yet。
4．to 句意：……尤其当谈到孩子的时候。when
it
comes
to
sb./sth.为固定搭配，意为“当谈到……时”，故填to。
5．because 句意：那是因为吃早餐的青少年在学校有表现更好的倾向。根据句意可知应该填because。
6．to
keep make
it
harder
to
do
sth.中，it为形式宾语，意为“使做某事更困难”，故填to
keep。
7．Without 句意：如果不吃早餐，孩子们很难满足日常的营养需要。根据语境可知，此处表示“如果不吃早餐”应用“without＋宾语”结构，在此处作状语，表条件。
8．daily 设空处修饰名词，应用形容词，故填daily。
9．probably 句意：你早上时间可能很急。设空处修饰形容词pressed，应用副词，故填probably。
10．are 句意：……你的孩子也是这样。“so＋be动词/助动词/情态动词＋主语”表示前面所说的情况也适用于另一个人或物，与前面的肯定句呼应，意为“……也是这样”，是倒装句，谓语动词应与后面的主语一致，故填are。
【知识拓展】 如果前面的句子是否定句，表示前面的情况也不适用于另一人或物，则用“neither/nor＋be动词/助动词/情态动词＋主语”。

My
Emotional(感人的)Experience
in
Jaipur
I
came
to
India
in
February
2012
to
complete
a
volunteer
practicum
requirement
with
some
friends.
It
was
really
an
unforgettable
experience!
Before
we
set
off,
I
thought
it
would
be
a
hard
job，__1__
that
I
could
not
adapt
to
the
poor
living
conditions.
After
arriving
in
Jaipur,
we
went
straight
to
the
hotel
that
the
Center
had
__2__
for
us,
a
relief
to
us
as
we
were
tired
from
the
__3__.
During
the
following
days
we
were
__4__
to
the
city
and
had
Hindi
lessons
with
our
guide
Ravi.
On
our
fourth
day
in
Jaipur
we
were
taken
to
the
head
office.There
we
were
__5__
for
the
Child
Development
Program
and
over
the
course
we
__6__
two
studies
related
to
child
work
and
child
rights.
We
focused
on
the
experiences
of
the
children
who
were
working
and
the
__7__
that
pushed
them
into
work.
The
experience
was
entirely
new
for
me
and
I
learned
so
much
through
the
__8__.The
best
part
of
the
work,
however,
was
__9__
being
in
the
communities
and
interacting
with
the
children
and
their
parents.
I
was
__10__
to
a
way
of
life
completely
different
from
my
own.
In
spite
of
the
poor
living
situations,
people
in
Jaipur
were
__11__.We
found
that
the
parents
communicated
openly
with
each
other
and
they
were
always
__12__
to
share
their
own
thoughts
and
feelings
with
their
children.
I
could
__13__
that
people
in
Jaipur
have
positive
relationships
with
their
family
and
community
members.
Talking
with
the
people
there
and
hearing
their
stories
was
something
that
had
a
strong
effect
on
my
worldview,
continuing
to
__14__
how
I
understand
everything
around
me
now.
I
have
been
__15__
by
the
people
that
I
met
through
this
experience.
On
the
weekends
I
spent
time
in
Jaipur，__16__
the
city
and
shopping.
We
were
__17__
enough
to
be
there
during
Holi,
an
exciting
and
colorful
celebration
in
late
February
or
early
March
in
India!
We
really
__18__
every
minute
of
the
life
in
Jaipur!
Generally,
my
practicum
experience
with
volunteering
India
was
extremely
__19__.
I
know
that
I
will
be
thinking
about
everything
that
I
saw,
learned
and
__20__
in
India
and
look
forward
to
the
day
that
I
can
return
to
this
amazing
country.

【语篇导读】 众所周知，2016年的二月有29天，这是我们所知的闰年。文中介绍闰年起源于英国并且有其独特的历史，而在2016年，有人呼吁把2月29日作为一个公共假期，因为没有一个人因为这一天的加班而获得额外的报酬。
1．what 设空处引导表语从句且在从句中作call的宾语，所以应填what。
2．instead 句意：每四年，一年就有366天，而不是365天。根据句意可知，此处表示“而不是”。故填instead。
3．legally 设空处修饰动词recognized，应用副词作状语，所以应填legally。
4．associated 设空处与谓语动词is之间没有并列连词，应为非谓语动词形式，设空处限定修饰tradition且和associate之间存在被动关系，所以应填associated。
5．fifth 句意：这追溯到五世纪……。表示第几世纪应用序数词，所以应填fifth。
6．complaint make
a
complaint为固定搭配，意为“抱怨”，所以应填名词单数complaint。
7．written 句意：这种所谓的传统在13世纪被写入法律。根据句意可知此处应为一般过去时的被动语态形式，所以应填written。
8．for 在2016年，有人呼吁把2月29日作为一个公共假期。设空处位于名词calls后应填介词，根据语意，calls
for
...意为“对……的呼吁”，为固定搭配，所以应填for。
9．official 设空处位于冠词后名词前，应用形容词形式作定语，所以应填official。
10．more 句意：一些人认为它应该成为一个正式假期，因为没有人因为在闰年加班一天而获得更多的报酬。根据句意，应填比较级形式more。

It's
a
Harvest

the
height
of
the
agricultural
season,
which
not
only
means
a
variety
of
autumn
fruits

vegetables
at
the
farmers'

but
also
means
that
the

is
heating
up
with

green
of
the

that
share
these

【语篇导读】 本文是一篇说明文。伴随着秋天的来临，天气凉爽，在接下来的几个月里，人们可以去俄勒冈州游玩。可以来参加苹果丰收节，赏叶、观赏鸟类、品尝当地庄园红酒和体验空中索道。
1．解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第二段末句“Three
apple
festivals
this
fall
will
celebrate
the
diversity
and
deliciousness
of
Oregon
grown
apples.”可知当我们来到农夫市场时，我们可以参加苹果节的庆祝典礼。故选C。
2．解析：选C。推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Migratory
and
native
birds
call
Washington
County‘home’，whether
it's
for
the
winter
or
they're
just
visiting
on
their
southern
voyage.”可判断鸟类观察者会来到华盛顿县，因为这里有种类繁多的鸟类。故选C。
3．解析：选B。推理判断题。根据第五段中的“three
wineries
featuring
hands on
experiences，vineyard
exploration，a
wine
country
lunch，and
wine
tastings”可知俄勒冈州有三大酿酒厂，农夫们善于种植葡萄。故选B。
4．解析：选A。标题归纳题。根据第一段“We've
collected
some
of
the
best
reasons
why
you
should
plan
a
trip
here
in
the
coming
months.”可知这篇文章主要讲述的是去俄勒冈州游玩的原因。故选A。
B
Whether
it
is
Mozart
or
Miley,
your
choice
of
music
could
determine
whether
you
will
perform
well
all
your
work.
A
new
study
suggests
that
listening
to
music
in
the
office
improves
the
speed
and
accuracy
of
tasks
such
as
data
entry,
proof
reading
and
problem
solving.
In
an
office based
experiment,
88
per
cent
of
participants
were
found
to
produce
their
most
accurate
work
when
listening
to
music.
The
study
also
found
that
81
per
cent
completed
their
fastest
work
when
music
was
played.
And
it
matters
what
type
of
music
you
listen
to.For
instance,
if
you're
doing
your
tax
returns,
then
classical
music
is
the
most
effective
as
it
improves
maths
skills.
Listening
to
Jessie
J
or
Justin
Bieber
could
also
improve
your
speed,
with
58
per
cent
of
participants
completing
data
entry
tasks
faster
while
listening
to
pop
songs.
During
proof
reading,
dance
music,
such
as
David
Guetta,
had
the
biggest
positive
impact
with
participants
increasing
their
speed
by
20
per
cent
compared
to
tests
undertaken
with
no
music
at
all.
Dance
music
also
had
a
positive
effect
on
spellchecking
with
a
75
per
cent
pass
rate
compared
to
68
percent
when
no
music
was
played
at
all.
The
research，undertaken
by
Brighton based
Mindlab
International，suggests
that
silent
offices
may
be
the
least
productive.
“The
music
experiment
showed
that
when
listening
to
music，nine
out
of
10
people
performed
better，”
said
Dr.
David
Lewis，Chairman
of
Mindlab
International.
“Proper
music
enables
people
to
quickly
process
and
keep
information,
regulate
their
behaviors,
make
good
choices,
solve
problems,
plan
and
adjust
to
changing
mental
demands，”
a
senior
investigator
of
Mindlab
International
explains.
“While
many
schools
are
cutting
music
programs
and
spending
more
and
more
time
on
test
preparation，our
findings
suggest
that
musical
training
may
actually
help
to
set
up
children
for
a
better
academic
future，”
added
Dr.
David
Lewis.
5．What
does
the
passage
mainly
talk
about
A．The
positive
relationship
between
music
and
efficiency.
B．The
speed
and
accuracy
of
problem solving
tasks.
C．The
comparison
of
different
kinds
of
music.
D．The
experiment
on
productivity
of
office
staff.
6．According
to
the
passage,
we
can
conclude
that
________.
A．different
kinds
of
music
lead
to
the
same
effect
B．silent
offices
can
make
people
perform
better
C．listening
to
proper
music
can
improve
efficiency
in
the
office
D．more
tests
prepare
children
for
a
better
academic

Addams下的第一句话Anyone
who
has
ever
been
helped
by
a
social
worker
has
Jane
Addams
to
thank.(任何一个受到社会工作者帮助的人都要感谢Jane
Addams)可知，在历史上，Jane
Addams因她的社会工作而出名，与A项相符。文中未提及her
teaching
skills(她的教学技能)，只是谈到了promoting
education(促进教育)，故B项与文章不符；Jane
Addams获得了诺贝尔和平奖，但她不是因努力去获奖而出名的，根本上还是因为她做的社会工作，而且她也并非为了获奖才付出努力，故C项错误；是她的社会工作，以及她鼓励的社区感让她出名，D项Her
community
background.(她的社区背景)与此不相符。
9．解析：选C。细节理解题。根据Sandra
Day
O'Connor下的第一句When
Sandra
Day
O'Connor
finished
third
in
her

could
not
find
work
at
a
law
firm
because
she
was
a
woman.可知，她没能在法律事务所找到工作，是因为她是一名女性，这与C项“对于女性的歧视”相符，故选C项；文中未提及她的经济状况，故D项错误。
10．解析：选D。细节理解题。根据Rosa
Parks下的．..it

D
(2017·陕西西安质量检测)The
1920s
was
a
decade
of
wealth,
decadence(堕落)
and
social
change.
They
were
known
as
the
Roaring
Twenties,
and
the
best
place
to
experience
this
exciting
time
was
New
York
City.
But
what
was
it
really
like
Prohibition
In
1919,
a
new
law
in
the
US
known
as
Prohibition
made
it
illegal
to
buy
and
sell
alcohol.
But
Prohibition
didn't
stop
people
drinking;
it
just
drove
the
sale
of
strong
alcoholic
drink
underground.
Bootleggers(走私犯)
waited
off
the
coast
of
New
York
after
dark
and
brought
illegal
alcohol
into
the
city.
Jazz
Jazz
was
the
music
of
New
York
in
the
1920s.
In
fact,
the
decade
is
called
Jazz
Age.
The
best
place
to
listen
to
this
new
form
of
music
was
the
Cotton
Club
in
Harlem.
All
the
great
jazz
musicians
played
at
the
Cotton
Club,
including
Louis
Armstrong，Dizzy
Gillespie
and
Duke
Ellington.
Also,
in
1924
George
Gershwin
composed
the
jazz—influenced
Rhapsody
in
Blue.
The
piece
has
been
called
“a
musical
portrait
of
New
York”
and
was
used
by
Woody
Allen
in
his
film
Manhattan.
Art
Deco
Art
Deco
was
the
most
popular
style
of
the
1920s,
with
bright
colors
and
geometric
designs;
it
can
be
seen
in
the
art，architecture
and
inside
designs
of
the
period.
New
York
is
full
of
Art
Deco
buildings,
but
the
most
famous
ones
are
the
Chrysler
Building
(built
between
1928
and
1930)
and
the
Empire
State
Building
(built
between
1930
and
1931
)．
The
Great
Depression
On
29th
October,
1929,
the
Roaring
Twenties
came
to
a
dramatic
end.
On
that
day(known
as
“Black
Tuesday”),
the
US
stock
market
crashed,
causing
the
Great
Depression.
The
economic
downturn
lasted
ten
years
and
affected
most
of
the
Western
world.
Unemployment
in
America
reached
25%
and
the
country
didn't
recover
until
after
World
War

your
ability
in
a

the
time

A
(2017·新疆名校调研)Wu
Dan
has
been
trying
to
decide
wheher
or
not
to
have
a
second
child
for
about
two
years,
since
she
became
qualified,
as
she
and
her
husband
have
no
brothers
or
sisters.
Now,
she
feels
under
more
pressure
since
the
central
government
eased
the
family
planning
policy
further,
allowing
all
couples
to
have
two
children.“My
parents
and
parents in law
have
been
trying
to
persuade
me
to
have
a
second
child,
and
they
said
it
is
now
a
state
policy，”
said
Wu,
29,
a
civil
servant
in
Jiangsu
Province
who
has
a
3 year old
daughter.“I
have
not
made
up
my
mind
yet.
It
is
a
big
decision
to
have
another
baby.
I
took
six
months
leave
to
give
birth
to
my
daughter.
When
I
returned
to
the
office,
my
post
was
taken
by
another
colleague
and
I
had
to
work
in
a
new
field.”
Millions
of
women
in
China
may
suffer
from
Wu's
dilemma.“The
policy
affects
families,
especially
women,
because
women
carry
the
responsibility
of
giving
birth
and
raising
children，”
said
Tang
Fang,
director
of
the
economic
law
center
at
China
Women's
University,
Beijing.“The
lack
of
childcare
services
and
high
cost
may
cause
many
mothers
to
return
to
the
family
to
take
care
of
their
children，”Tang
said.
One
of
Wu
Dan's
main
concerns
is
the
problem
of
educating
children.“There
are
not
enough
places
in
preschool，”Wu
said.“It
was
difficult
for
us
to
find
a
place
for
my
daughter
and
I
do
not
want
to
experience
that
again.”
“An
increasing
number
of
employers,
especially
medium
and
large
companies,
are
shifting
their
focus
to
attract
talented
female
employees
by
offering
beneficial
policies
for
childbearing
and
childcare，”said
Wang
Yixin,
a
senior
consultant
from
Zhilian
Recruiting,
a
China based
recruitment
website.“However,
employers
have
to
pay
more
for
female
employees'
maternity
leave，”
Wang
said,
admitting
that
some
fast developing
small
and
medium sized
employers
would
prefer
male
employees.

This
is
how
language
began.
The
earliest
words
in
English
date
back
at
least
8,000
years—and
they
describe_themselves:_we
can
work
out
what
the
words
meant
by
the
shapes
our
lips
from
when
we
say
them.“Pe”，
for
instance,
starts
with
the
lips
together
and
separates
them
with
a
faint
pop,
which
means
“open”．“Mei”
means
smile
and
it
makes
you
do
exactly
that—your
mouth
stretches
wide,
showing
your
teeth.
The
old
sound
is
at
the
centre
of
today's
word:
smile.
Our
everyday
words
have
evolved
from
the
language
spoken
by
our
Stone
Age
ancestors.
Simple,
instinctive
and
easy
to
learn,
it
was
born
on
the
steppes
(草原)
of
modern
Russia
and
swept
through
Europe，Asia
and
India,
changing
and
developing.
We
don't
know
who
spoke
it
first,
and
it
doesn't
even
have
a
proper
name.
Archaeologists
call
it
proto Indo European,
or
IE.
Experts
have
uncovered
several
hundreds
of
its
basic
sounds.
Investigate
them,
and
you
will
uncover
details
from
history
and
hundreds
of
connections
in
our
everyday
vocabulary.
One
of
the
basic
sounds
of
Stone
Age
language
is
“an”.
It
means
to
breathe,
and
it
is
an
imitation
of
the
noise
itself.
Any
creature,
human
or
animal
that
is
alive
must
be
breathing.“Man”
is
a
combination
of
two
concepts
as
old
as
time.
The
“m”
sound,
for
me,
myself，and
the
breathing
“an”
sound.“Man”
is
my
own
living and breathing
self.
Our
ancestors'
language
is
the
reason
why
so
many
English
words
come
in
family
groups.
Negative
ones，for
instance,
have
an
“n”
at
the
front:
no,
never
and
nightmare.
And
the
empty
ones
start
with
“va”：
vacant,
vacuum,
vanity
and
vanish.
Therefore,
think
before
you
speak.
The
words
in
your
mouth
are
alive
and
are
as
old
as
time.
5．The
underlined
words
in
Paragraph
1
can
be
replaced
by
“________”．
A．are
hard
to
imitate
B．can
still
be
used
today
C．are
hard
to
pronounce
D．can
be
easily
understood
6．Which
of
the
following
has
the
closest
meaning
to
“vanish”
according
to
Paragraph
5
A．Grow.
B．Disappear.
C．Flourish.
D．Reduce.
7．Why
does
the
author
talk
about
words
starting
with
“va”？
A．To
explain
how
to
remember
words.
B．To
offer
more
word
games
for
readers.
C．To
suggest
old
language
develops
a
lot.
D．To
show
old
language
still
matters
nowadays.
8．What
is
the
author's
attitude
towards
Stone
Age
language
A．Respectful.
B．Doubtful.
C．Negative.
D．Indifferent.
【语篇导读】 语言从古至今一脉相承，英语自然也不例外。本文列举了古代英语的几个例词，体现了英语本身的魅力与博大精深。

(2017·贵州贵阳高三适应性监测)
When
we
think
of
flavor(味道),
it
is
our
noses
and
taste
buds
(味蕾)
that
we
think
of
first.
Isn't
it
natural
that
taste
and
smell
are
the
main
senses
when
we
enjoy
food
and
drink
Well,
perhaps
not.“Now
we
are
beginning
to
understand
that
flavor
depends
on
parts
of
the
brain
that
involve
not
only
taste，smell
and
touch,
but
vision.These
signals,
plus
our
emotions
and
past
experiences，result
in
perception
(感受)
of
flavors,
and
decide
whether
we
like
or
dislike
foods.”
“Years
ago,
flavor
was
a
table
with
two
legs—taste
and
odor，”
Terry
E.
Acree,
PhD,
told
National
Geographic.
A
good
example
of
“the
first
bite
is
taken
with
the
eye”
is
that
if
we
were
shown
two
plates
of
strawberries，one
red
and
the
other
pinkish,
the
majority
of
us
would
be
attracted
to
red
because
“it
signals
ripeness,
sweetness
and
calories”，
explained
The
Guardian.
The
findings
of
a
German
study
seem
to
back
this
up.Its
subjects
said
wine
tasted
50
percent
sweeter
if
drunk
under
red
light,
rather
than
under
blue
or
white.
In
a
study
released
in
mid December,
scientists
found
that
the
color
of
your
coffee
mug
can
change
the
way
your
coffee
tastes,
reported
The
Washington
Post.
And
it
is
not
just
the
color
of
the
food
that
matters.
Specifically,
the
white
mug
was
associated
with
a
more
“intense”(or
bitter)tasting
cup
of
coffee,
and
the
clear
glass
mug
was
not.
The
blue
mug,
meanwhile,
was
“kind
of
an
intermediate
(中等的)”，
Charles
Spence,
head
of
the
research
laboratory
at
Oxford
University,
told
the
newspaper.
The
opposite
was
true
for
perceived
sweetness—those
who
took
part
tasted
less
sweetness
when
drinking
from
the
white
mug
than
they
did
when
drinking
from
both
the
blue
and
clear
glass
mugs.
It's
also
possible
that
certain
colors
are
associated
with
certain
experiences.
In
the
case
of
coffee,
the
researchers
believe
the
color
brown
might
be
something
people
associate
with
bitterness.“The
white
mug
may
have
affected
the
perceived
brownness
of
the
coffee
and
this,
in
turn,
may
have
affected
the
perceived
intensity
(and
sweetness)
of
the
coffee，”
the
researchers
wrote.

D
A
few
years
ago,
pop
poets
such
as
Murray
Lachlan
Young
began
to
set
poetry
to
rock
music
with
some
surprising
results.
People
thought
that
poetry
was
the
new
rock
‘n’
roll.
However,
despite
the
brief
popularity
of
a
few
pop
poets,
poetry
and
pop
music
didn't
seem
to
mix.
But
are
they
really
so
different
If
you
look
back
at
the
origins
of
poetry，there
is
a
strong
connection
between
poems
and
popular
music.
In
Greek
mythology,
for
example,
the
muse
(女神)
Erato
is
pictured
with
a
lyre
(里尔琴)
in
her
hand,
and
looks
just
like
the
ancestor
of
the
modern
rock
star
with
his
electric
guitar.
In
addition,
the
poets
Shelley
and
Byron
were
as
famous
in
the
nineteenth
century
as
the
pop
stars
of
today.
But
despite
their
common
origins,
there
are
many
differences
between
poetry
and
pop
music.
Pop
songs
are
always
written
for
a
public
performance,
whereas
poetry
often
isn't.
And
the
lyrics
in
pop
songs
sometimes
have
less
rhythm
than
those
in
poetry.
This
is
because
the
music
provides
the
rhythm
rather
than
the
words.
Pop
lyrics
are
also
simpler
and
often
keep
on
saying
the
same
thing.
This
repetition
works
well
in
a
performance
and
means
that
pop
songs
are
easier
for
people
to
sing
and
learn
by
heart.
Both
songs
and
poems
tell
a
story
or
talk
about
feelings.
Songs
in
particular
deal
with
the
different
stages
in
a
relationship,
such
as
falling
in
love
or
breaking
up.
The
words
and
ideas
in
songs
are
usually
easier
to
understand
than
those
in
“serious”
poetry.However,
talented
performers
like
Paul
McCartney,
or
newer
stars
like
Robbe
Williams,
often
give
simple
songs
more
expression
when
they
perform
them.
And
some
of
the
best
lines
from
pop
lyrics
are
as
beautiful
as
poetry.
So
although
pop
music
and
poetry
have
many
differences,
they
do
have
one
important
thing
in
common:
the
power
to
make
us
think
about
how
we
feel.
13．What
did
Murray
Lachlan
Young
do
a
few
years
ago
A．He
had
poems
and
rock
music
combined.
B．He
surprised
people
with
his
beautiful
style
of
writing.
C．He
wrote
beautiful
music
for
some
famous
poems.
D．He
invented
a
new
kind
of
poem
for
his
fans.
14．The
difference
between
poetry
and
pop
songs
is
that
________.
A．there
is
more
rhythm
in
pop
songs
than
poetry
B．pop
songs
are
more
difficult
to
understand
than
poetry
C．some
words
in
pop
songs
are
repeated
over
and
over
again
D．pop
songs
are
not
always
performed
before
audience
15．According
to
Paragraph
4,
which
of
the
following
statements
is
TRUE
A．Songs
and
poems
are
equally
beautiful.
B．The
main

songs
is
about
relationship.
C．Songs
tell
stories
but
poems
tell
about
feelings.
D．Songs
and
poems
express
a
similar
message.
16．What
does

say
about
talented
performers
today
A．They
look

poetry
to
find
ideas
for
their
songs.
B．They
think
their
songs
are
more

C．They
give
