【语篇导读】 本文是一篇记叙文。多年来作者都是通过电话与旅行代理人联系，觉得对方说话的声音冷冰冰的。但是有一次订机票的时候作者亲自来到代理人的办公室，发现自己先前的判断是错误的。
1.
A．accepted
B．noticed
C．heard
D．met
解析：选D。上下文语境题。根据上文的have
formed
impressions
of
you，on
your
desk和下文的sometimes
from
hundreds
of
miles
away，only
by
phone，再结合全文可知that
little
device是指电话，由此可判断选D项：他们从来没有见到(meet)过你。accept接受；notice注意；hear听说；meet遇见。
2．A.came
B．moved
C．ran
D．developed
解析：选A。上下文语境题。他们对你的了解全部通过这台装置，有时是来自数百英里之外。come
from“来自”，符合语境。come来；move移动；run跑；develop开发，培养。
3．A.Thus
B．Yet
C．Then
D．Indeed
解析：选B。上下文语境题。前文提到“他们对你的了解全部通过这台装置，有时来自数百英里远的地方”，本空用副词yet表示转折含义：可是他们觉得他们能够了解你……thus因此；yet然而；then随后，那么；indeed的确，确实。
4.
A．rather
B．also
C．just
D．already
解析：选C。上文语境题。前文说他们没见过你，他们有时离你数百英里远，这里用just表示“仅仅；只是”，此处指“但是他们觉得只需要听到你的声音就能了解你”。rather很，非常；also也，还；just仅仅；already已经。
5.
A．telephone
B．voice
C．connection
D．impression
解析：选A。上下文语境题。本题很容易因为前文中的the
sound
of
your
voice而错选B项“voice”，但是文章开头说到“that
little
device”，因此这里讲的是“你书桌上的那台小装置”，下文也提到only
by
phone和travel
through
wires，因此本题选A项“电话”。telephone电话；voice嗓音；connection联系；impression印象。
6.
A．direct
B．useful
C．easy
D．accurate
解析：选D。下文语境题。通读下文可知，作者开始时因为瑞妮在电话里的声音很冷淡而生气，但见面后，却发现她是个wonderful
lady，因此该空选accurate“准确的”，此处是说(电话是)强大的，但不总是准确的。direct直接的；useful有用的；easy容易的；accurate准确的。
7.
A．in
person
B．by
myself
C．in
public
D．on
purpose
解析：选A。上文语境题。in
person表示“亲自”，never
met
in
person与上文的faceless相呼应。in
person亲自；by
oneself独自；in
public公开地；on
purpose故意地。
8.
A．annoyed
B．interested
C．discouraged
D．confused
解析：选A。上文语境题。作者的这个旅行代理人总能给他最低价格(rock bottom
prices)，但是她冷冰冰的声音让作者不开心，根据语境可知选A项“annoyed”。annoyed生气的；interested感兴趣的；discouraged沮丧的；confused困惑不解的。
9.
A．promote
B．train
C．find
D．know
解析：选C。上文语境题。作者对瑞妮冷冰冰的语气很是气恼，有时希望另外找个代理人。promote提升；train训练；find找到；know知道。
10．A.arrange
B．postpone
C．confirm
D．book
解析：选D。下文语境题。由下文的a
family
emergency可知，作者家中有急事，需要马上坐飞机回家，故选book“预订”。arrange安排；postpone推迟；confirm证实；book预订。
11.
A．for
the
first
time
B．at
any
time
C．from
time
to
time
D．in
good
time
解析：选A。上文语境题。上文提到，作者之前与瑞妮从来没有见过面，因此这里选for
the
first
time“第一次”。for
the
first
time第一次；at
any
time随时；from
time
to
time不时，偶尔；in
good
time及早，有足够的时间。
12.
A．expecting
B．seeing
C．testing
D．avoiding
解析：选B。下文语境题。作者跑到瑞妮的办公室，坐在桌旁的瑞妮看到(see)作者着急的样子就跳了起来，满是同情。expect期待；see看见；test检测；avoid避免。
13．A.shy
B．comforting
C．familiar
D．forced
解析：选B。上文语境题。根据上文中madness可知作者很着急，因此这里用comforting“令人欣慰的”；她给了我一个令人欣慰的微笑。shy腼腆的；comforting令人安慰的；familiar熟悉的；forced勉强的。
14.
A．bill
B．form
C．ticket
D．list
解析：选C。上文语境题。上文提到作者家里有急事，需要立即坐飞机回去(an
immediate
flight
home)，因此此处说的是给作者打印飞机票(ticket)。bill账单；form表格；ticket票；list清单。
15.
A．hopefully
B．disappointedly
C．gratefully
D．regretfully
解析：选C。上文语境题。作者遇到这么热心的旅行代理人，当然是心存感激(gratefully)。hopefully有希望地；disappointedly失望地；gratefully感激地；regretfully遗憾地。
16.
A．careful
B．serious
C．nervous
D．pleasant
解析：选D。下文语境题。此处应与下文的a
big
smile，waving
to
wish
me
a
safe
trip相呼应，故用pleasant“令人愉悦的”。careful仔细的；serious严肃的；nervous紧张的；pleasant愉悦的。
17．A.amused
B．worried
C．helpless
D．speechless
解析：选D。上下文语境题。作者想到自己当初对瑞妮的错误判断，而眼前的瑞妮是那么热心，因此一时竟不知道该说什么(speechless)了。amused逗乐的；worried担心的；helpless无助的；speechless说不出话的。
18．A.calm
B．nice
C．proud
D．clever
解析：选B。上文语境题。由上文可知，作者亲眼见到瑞妮后发现她是一个wonderful
lady，于是反问自己“我之前怎么会认为她冷冰冰呢？哦，瑞妮是这么友好(nice)”。calm冷静的；nice友好的，和蔼的；proud骄傲的；clever聪明的。
19．A.forgiveness
B．eagerness
C．friendliness
D．skillfulness
解析：选C。下文语境题。破折号后的“她温暖的微笑，她的点头，她的‘我在这里为你服务'……”是对该空格的解释，对比四个选项，friendliness(友好)最符合语境。forgiveness宽恕；eagerness急切；friendliness友好；skillfulness熟练。
20．A.explanation
B．attitude
C．concept
D．behavior
解析：选B。上下文语境题。结合上文引号中的内容“我在这里为你服务”及下文的silent
signals判断B选项“attitude”符合语境。explanation解释；attitude态度；concept概念；behavior行为。

(2017·山东临沂模拟)I
was
living
a
life
in
my

and
hardly
noticed
what
1.____________(be)
around
me.
I
was
always
checking
the
time
and
thinking
of
future
2.____________(plan).
My

was：“Who's

What

3.____________
one

my

went

I
browsed

and
checked
my
e mails.
When
I
woke
up
in
the
middle
of
the
night,
I
did
the
same
thing.
The
problem
with
this
was
that
I
felt
anxious
every
night.
So
when
my
friends
invited
me
5.____________(go)for
a
long
weekend
camping
without
the
cell
service,
I
thought
this
was
6.____________(exact)
what
I
needed.
Here's
how
7.____________(keep)
away
from

me
and
my

of
life.
Without
my

I
8.____________(fall)asleep
listening
to
the
songs
of
frogs
and

In

morning,
I

Sitting

riding
a

or
singing
the
old
songs,
I
9.____________(true)enjoyed
what
I
was
doing.
I
felt
free
without
my
phone
at
the
weekend
camp，10.____________
changed
me
completely.
I
listened
to
what
my
body
was
instead
of
what
my
phone
was
telling
me
to
do.
【语篇导读】 本文记叙了我通过一次48小时不带手机的野营，摆脱了原来每天睡觉前醒来后都要翻看手机网页新闻、邮件等信息的困扰。我重新得到了自由，每天听从身体及内心的召唤，而不是让手机告诉我要做什么。
1．was 设空处为宾语从句的谓语，时态与主句谓语动词noticed保持一致。故填was。
2．plans 句意：我总是看时间并思考未来的计划。plan为可数名词，前面没有a修饰。故填plans。
3．on be
centered
on为固定搭配，意为“以……为中心”。故填on。
4．Before 由句意及逻辑关系可知，此处应表示在我入睡之前，我浏览新闻网站，查看邮件。故填Before。
5．to
go invite
sb.
to
do
sth.为固定搭配，意为“邀请某人做某事”。故填to
go。
6．exactly 设空处修饰谓语动词was，应填副词形式。故填exactly。
7．keeping 句意：下面就是远离手机48小时是如何改变我及我的生活方式的。分析句子成分可知，该句为how引导的主语从句，is为系动词，here为表语。设空处为主语从句的主语，应填v. ing形式。故填keeping。
8．fell 由下一句谓语动词woke可知，该句和下句一样，都在描写当时野营的情景，应使用一般过去时态。故填fell。
9．truly 设空处修饰谓语动词enjoyed，应填副词形式。故填truly。
10．which 句意：周末野营时，没有手机让我感觉到了自由，这件事彻底改变了我。由句意及句子成分可知，该句为设空处引导的非限制性定语从句，设空处为关系代词作定语从句主语，先行词为前面整个句子。故填which。

the
region.
For
a
long
time
before
that
day，local
people
had
known
that
somewhere
in
the
jungle
there
was
an
old
Mayan
city，6.________no
one
had
seen
it
for
centuries.7.________200
and
900
AD，the
city
of
Tikal
had
been
the
center
of
Mayan
civilization
in
the
region，but
then
the
Mayans
left
8.________
and
nobody
knows
why!
After
1000
AD，the
jungle
began
to
cover
it
and
people
forgot
that
it
was
there.
Seven
years
before
Tut
looked
out
for
the
trees，two
British
explorers
had
gone
to
Guatemala
and
had
written
a
report
about
Mayan
treasures
in
the
jungle,
but
they
didn't
mention
Tikal.Even
9.________
(early)
than
this，local
Indians
had
told
European
travelers
about
a
great
city
10.________
(hide)
in
the
trees，but
no
one
would
listen
to
them.
Now
the
lost
city
had
been
found
again，and
archaeologists
went
there
immediately
to
see
it.
【语篇导读】 1848年夏天，在危地马拉有个名叫Ambrosio
Tut的采胶人在丛林中偶然发现了古代玛雅人遗址。
1．looking 考查非谓语动词作状语。主语Tut与look为逻辑上的主动关系，且表示伴随，故用looking。
2．On 考查介词。表示“在具体的某一天”应用介词on。
3．special 考查形容词。此处应用形容词special修饰不定代词something。
4．walked 考查时态。根据上下文的时态可推知本空要用一般过去时。
5．where 考查定语从句。先行词为places，将先行词代入定语从句后为：Kings
had
lived
in
the
places.由此可知关系词在定语从句中作地点状语，故答案为where。
6．but 考查并列连词。前后两个分句之间为转折关系，故用并列连词but。
7．Between 考查介词。between...and...
在……和……之间。
8．it/there 由语境可知此处应用it或there代替前面的the
city
of
Tikai。
9．earlier 考查副词比较级。根据后面的than可知设空处用副词比较级。
10．hidden 考查非谓语动词作定语。a
great
city与hide之间为逻辑上的被动关系，且表示状态，故用过去分词作定语。
Ⅲ.短文改错
(2016·高考全国乙卷)假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2016·高考全国乙卷)I
am
Peter
Hodes，a
volunteer
stem
cell
courier.Since
March
2012，I've
done
89
trips—of
those,51
have
been
abroad.I
have
42
hours
to
carry
stem
cells
(干细胞)
in
my
little
box
because
I've
got
two
ice
packs
and
that's
how
long
they
last.In
all，from
the
time
the
stem
cells
are
harvested
from
a
donor
(捐献者)
to
the
time
they
can
be
implanted
in
the
patient，we've
got
72
hours
at
most.So
I
am
always
conscious
of
time.
I
had
one
trip
last
year
where
I
was
caught
by
a
hurricane
in
America.I
picked
up
the
stem
cells
in
Providence，Rhode
Island，and
was
meant
to
fly
to
Washington
then
back
to
London.But
when
I
arrived
at
the
check in
desk
at
Providence，the
lady
on
the
desk
said：“Well，I'm
really
sorry，I've
got
some
bad
news
for
you—there
are
no
flights
from
Washington.”
So
I
took
my
box
and
put
it
on
the
desk
and
I
said：“In
this
box
are
some
stem
cells
that
are
urgently
needed
for
a
patient—please，please，you've
got
to
get
me
back
to
the
United
Kingdom.”She
just
dropped
everything.She
arranged
for
a
flight
on
a
small
plane
to
be
held
for
me，re routed(改道)
me
through
Newark
and
got
me
back
to
the
UK
even
earlier
than
originally
scheduled.
For
this
courier
job，you're
consciously
aware
that
in
that
box
you've
got
something
that
is
potentially
going
to
save
somebody's
life.
【语篇导读】 本文是一篇记叙文。大家都知道，医生是救死扶伤的典范，作者虽然不是医生，但他的工作也与很多人的性命息息相关，大家快来读一读文章，了解一下他的工作吧！

are
harvested
from
a
donor
to
the
time
they
can
be
implanted
in
the
patient，we've
got
72
hours
...可知，“我”是一个运送干细胞的人，运送有严格的时间限制，故B项“送货员”与之相符合。其他三项的意思：provider供应者；collector收集者，收藏家；medical
doctor医生。
2．Why

stem
cells
in
my
little
box
because
I've
got
two
ice
packs

...可知，她先安排“我”去了Newark，然后再转到英国，故选B项。
B
For
foreigners,
entering
a
public
toilet
in
China
can
be
a
horrifying
experience.
In
the
1990s,
a
third
of
all
complaints
to
tourism
officials
in
Beijing
concerned
the
design,
and
the
bad
smell
of
public
toilets.
China
has
battled
smelly
toilets
for
at
least
2,000
years.
In
the
Kingdom
of
Wei
(220—266
A．D.),
visitors
to
the
palace
bathrooms
would
find
boxes
to
cover
their
nose
and
ward_off
unpleasant
smells.
Both
flushing
(冲水)
toilets
and
toilet
paper
were
invented
in
China,
however,
only
for
the
use
of
the
emperor.
Today
Chinese
scientists
have
claimed
victory
in
their
battle
to
improve
public
restrooms,
introducing
a
bacterial
spray
that
can
almost
get
rid
of
all
the
bad
smell.
First,
a
set
of
six
types
of
bacteria
work
to
break
down
the
smelly
compounds
and
then
a
perfume
made
from
orange
skin
lightly
scents
(使芳香)
the
air.
The
“smell free
toilet”
study
from
the
Chinese
Academy
of
Science
was
declared
the
“ultimate”
cure
to
an_“urgent”_national_issue.
“Five
scientists
have
worked
on
this
from
2011
to
the
beginning
of
this
year，”
said
Dr.
Yan
Zhiying,
a
bacteriologist
with
the
academy's
Chengdu
Institute
of
Biology,
adding
that
they
had
spent
&140,000
on
the
project.
“Some
local
government
officials
here
visited
a
sewage(污水)
plant
and
saw
that
the
treatment
technology
had
come
from
Japan.
They
wanted
a
home grown
solution
so
they
asked
us
to
work
on
it，”
he
added.“We
obtained
bacteria
from
all
types
of
waste
from
humans,
pigs,
chicken
and
ducks,
and
we
tested
our
compounds
one
by
one，”
he
said.“The
smells
coming
out
of
public
toilets,
or
trash
cans,
are
made
up
of
more
than
160
different
compounds，”he
explained,
adding
that
their
bacteria
spray
can
change
and
absorb
many
of
them.
He
boasted
that
the
Chinese
formula
(配方),
which
costs
only
around
￡5
per
liter,
has
no
side
effects
and
can
be
used
to
remove
any
bad
smell.
4．The
underlined
words
“ward
off”
in
Paragraph
2
can
be
replaced
by
________.
A．keep
out
B．take
out
C．give
ont
D．come
out
5．The
underlined
phrase
“an
‘urgent'
national
issue”
refers
to
________.
A．the
treatment
of
sewage
B．a
horrifying
experience
C．the
bad
smell
of
public
toilets
D．the
160
smelly
compounds
6．Which
has
not
been
mentioned
as
an
advantage
of
the
bacteria
spray
A．Low
price.
B．No
side
effects.
C．Removing
bad
smells.
D．Beautiful
design.
7．Which
can
we
infer
after
the
spray
is
used
in
toilets
in
China
A．People
needn't
use
flushing
toilets.
B．A
perfume
is
given
off
in
the
air.
C．Tourists'
complaints
will
be
reduced.
D．Bacteria
break
down
smelly
compounds.
【语篇导读】 这是一篇说明文，介绍的是中国科学院成都生物研究所发明了一种除臭喷洒剂，能够除去厕所的各种异味。
4．解析：选A。词义猜测题。根据画线词前的find
boxes
to
cover
their
nose可知用盒子把鼻子盖住是为了挡住难闻的气味。keep
out意为“阻止……进入”，符合语境。take
out意为“拿出”，give
out意为“分发；发出”，come
out意为“出版；被揭晓”，均不符合语境。
5．解析：选C。词义猜测题。全文的焦点是中国公厕臭味难闻的问题，现在中科院正针对这个问题进行研究，显然这个全国性的紧急问题就是公共厕所的臭味。故选C项。
6．解析：选D。细节理解题。依据文章最后一段He
boasted
that
the
Chinese
formula，which
costs
only
around
￡5
per
liter，has
no
side
effects
and
can
be
used
to
remove
any
bad
smell.可知，这个除味喷剂的优点有：价格低、没有副作用、可去除任何臭味。文中没有提到D项(设计美观)。故选D项。
7．解析：选C。推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，三分之一的游客投诉是关于公厕的臭味问题，下文讲到中科院已经研制出一种除味喷剂，可以去除厕所的异味。由此可以推断，这种喷剂在中国的公厕中喷洒后，游客的投诉应该会减少。
C
Everyone
looks
forward
to
progress,
whether
in
one's
personal
life
or
in
the
general
society.
Progress
indicates
a
person's
ability
to
change
the
way
he
is
living
at
the
moment.
Progress
must
lead
to
a
better
life
and
a
better
way
of
doing
things.
All
these,
however，remain
true
only
in
so
far
as
people
want
to
accept
technology
and
move
forward
by
finding
new
and
more
efficient
ways
of
doing
things.
However,
at
the
back
of
the
minds
of
many
people，especially
those
who
miss
the
“good
old
days”，
efficiency
comes
with
a
price.
When
communication
becomes
more
efficient,
people
are
able
to
contact
one
another
no
matter
where
they
are
and
at
whatever
time
they
wish
to.
The
click
of
a
button
allows
people
miles
apart
to
talk
or
see
each
other
without
even
leaving
their
homes.With
the
communication
gadgets,_such
as
mobile
phones
and
iPads,
people
often
do
not
take
the
effort
to
visit
one
another
personally.
A
personal
visit
carries
with
it
the
additional
feature
of
having
to
be
in
the
person's
presence
for
as
long
as
the
visit
lasts.
We
cannot
unnecessarily
excuse
ourselves
or
turn
the
other
person
off.
With
efficiency
also
comes
mass
production.
Such
is
the
nature
of
factories
and
the
success
of
industrialization
today.
Factories
have
improved
efficiency.
Unskillful
tasks
are
left
to
machines
and
products
are
better
made
and
produced
with
greater
accuracy
than
any
human
hand
could
ever
have
done.
However,
with
the
improvements
in
efficiency
also
comes
the
loss
of
the
personal
touch
when
making
these
products.
For
example,
many
handicrafts
(手工艺品)
are
now
produced
in
a
factory.Although
this
means
that
supply
is
better
able
to
increase
demand,
now
that
the
supply
is
quick
and
efficient,
the
demand
might
fall
because
mass
production
lowers
the
quality
of
the
handicraft
and
it
is
difficult
to
find
unique
designs
on
each
item.
Nevertheless,
we
must
not
commit
the
mistake
of
analyzing
progress
only
from
one
point
of
view.
In
fact，progress
has
allowed
tradition
to
keep
up.
It
is
only
with
progress
and
the
invention
of
new
technology
that
many
old
products
can
be
brought
back
to
their
old
state.
New
technology
is
required
for
old
products
to
stay
old.
It
is
people's
attitude
towards
progress
that
causes
the
type
of
influence
that
technology
has
on
society.Technology
is
flexible.
There
is
no
fixed
way
of
making
use
of
it.
Everything
depends
on
people's
attitude.
The
worst
effects
of
progress
will
fall
on
those
who
are
unable
to
rethink
their
attitudes
and
views
of
society.
When
we
accept
progress
and
adapt
it
to
suit
our
needs,
a
new
“past”
is
created.
8．The
underlined
word
“gadgets”
in
Para.
2
is
closest
in
meaning
to
“________”．
A．tools
B．messages
C．barriers
D．skills
9．Compared
with
home made
handicrafts,
machine made
products
________.
A．lack
great
accuracy
B．lack
the
personal
touch
C．are
of
high
value
D．are
quite
welcome
10．What
can
be
learned
about
technology
from
Paragraph
4
A．It
can
destroy
old
traditions.
B．It
can
lead
to
social
progress.
C．It
can
be
used
to
correct
mistakes.
D．It
can
be
used
to
preserve
old
products.
11．What
can
be
concluded
from
the
last
paragraph
A．Progress
can
suit
the
needs
of
daily
life.
B．People
review
the
past
with
great
regret.
C．Technology
should
be
introduced
in
a
fixed
way.
D．People's
attitude
decides
the
use
of
technology.
【语篇导读】 科技的进步给我们带来了便捷的同时，也有一定的弊端。是人们的态度决定着科技对社会的进步起推进作用还是阻挠作用。
8．解析：选A。词义猜测题。根据第二段“such
as
mobile
phones
and
iPads”可知，gadgets为交流的“工具”。
9．解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第三段“However，with
the
improvements
in
efficiency
also
comes
the
loss
of
the
personal
touch
when
making
these
products.”可知机器创造的产品缺少人的接触。故选B。
10．解析：选D。推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“New
technology
is
required
for
old
products
to
stay
old.”可推出，新技术能用于保存旧的产品。故选D。
11．解析：选D。段落大意题。最后一段第一句“It
is
people's
attitude
towards
progress
that
causes
the
type
of
influence
that
technology
has
on
society.”可知，人们的态度决定技术的使用，这是本段的主题句。

in
the
day
were
terribly
obese.We're
all
scratching
our
heads
trying
to
figure
out
what
we've
introduced
to
society
to
ruin
our
kids.
But
it's
not
anything
we've
added
that
has
ruined
our
kids.
It's
stuff
we've
gotten
rid
of.
Take
the
gym
rope
for
example.
Remember
that
thing
that
stretched
from
the
floor
to
the
ceiling
in
your
gym
class
that
you
could
never
climb？Most
of
the
kids
couldn't
make
it
to
the
top.
But
that
wasn't
the
point;
the
point
was
you
had
to
try
while
some
middle aged
guy
who
couldn't
make
it
up
a
flight
of
stairs
shouted
at
you.
We
should
have
put
our
son
on
that
rope,
and
given
him
a
head
start.
But
we
didn't
want
to
shame
the
boy,
so
we
took
it
down.
Taking
down
the
rope
would
be
a
good
idea
if
there
were
no
ropes
in
life.
But
they're
everywhere.
You
just
can't
see
them.They're
in
every
goal
unrealized
and
expectation
not
met.
The
point
everyone
missed
about
the
rope
is
you
weren't
supposed
to
make
it
to
the
top.
It
was
there
to
create
a
fire
that
burned
in
the
oversized
belly
of
every
kid.

Ⅰ.完形填空
The
tradition
of
the
Herero
(赫勒娄人)
culture
is
all
about
proper
behavior.
Before
1990,
men
were
not
allowed
to
__1__
cows，but
due
to
other
religious
influences,
they
now
can
milk
them.
Something
most
don't
believe
when
I
explain
is
that
all
Herero
girls'
__2__
must
fall
below
their
knees.Girls
are
not
__3__
to
talk
to
boys,
and
they
must
cook
and
collect
wood
from
the
forest.
Youth
are
not
allowed
to
look
into
an
elder
person's
__4__
when
talking;
if
you
do,
you
will
__5__
him
or
her,
and
show
that
you
were
not
raised
__6__.
These
rules
still
__7__，
though
they
are
easing.
I
believe
they
help
__8__
discipline
and
prevent
teen
drug
use.
I
sometimes
like
__9__
the
elders
and
trying
to
obey
them
for
a
weekend,
but
it
is
very
__10__.
In
the
Herero
culture,
women
are
very
__11__
and
are
respected,
but
they
don't
have
any
say
in
many
decisions.
Moving
livestock
from
home
to
the
__12__
was
not
done
without
a
woman
because
our
sheep
and
cows
are
__13__.
Every
Herero
man
must
have
these
__14__，
or
he
will
be
seen
as
someone
who
doesn't
believe
in
the
culture
and
tradition,
and
be
__15__
by
other
Hereros.
A
Herero
man
should
__16__
a
Herero
woman，but
if
he
wants
to
marry
someone
from
another
culture
or
tradition,
his
father
__17__.Most
of
the
time,
the
father
finds
a
woman
for
his
son,
who
is
__18__
when
his
wedding
day
will
be,
even
though
he
has
never
seen
the
__19__.
With
my
parents,
my
mother
was
told
she
was
getting
married
the
next
morning，__20__
she
didn't
know
who
my
father
was,
and
she
couldn't
say
no
because
what
her
father
said
was
what
would
happen,
whether
she
wanted
to
or
not.

【范文赏读】
Dear
Mr.
Brown，
I'm
really
glad
to
receive
your
letter.
As
you
have
seen,
many
Chinese
choose
to
stick
the
character
Fu
on
the
door
upside
down
during
the
Spring
Festival.
This
actually
expresses
their
best
wishes
for
the
new
year.
In
Chinese,
the
character
for
“upside
down”
sounds
the
same
as
the
character
for
“to
arrive”，
so
this
means
that
happiness
is
arriving.
Quite
interesting,
isn't
it
By
the
way,
I'd
like
to
invite
you
to
celebrate
the
Dragon
Boat
Festival
with
my

this
year.
It's
a
day
in
memory
of
the
great
poet
Qu
Yuan
and
we
usually
eat
Zongzi
and
enjoy
dragon
boat
races.
It'll
be
a
good
opportunity
to
truly

Chinese
culture
and
tradition.
Looking

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
At
thirteen,
I
was
diagnosed
(诊断)
with
a
kind
of
attention
disorder.
It
made
school
difficult
for
me.
When
everyone
else
in
the
class
was
focusing
on
tasks,
I
could
not.
In
my
first
literature
class,
Mrs.
Smith
asked
us
to
read
a
story
and
then
write
on
it,
all
within
45
minutes.
I
raised
my
hand
right
away
and
said，“Mrs.
Smith,
you
see,
the
doctor
said
I
have
attention
problems.
I
might
not
be
able
to
do
it.”
She
glanced
down
at
me
through
her
glasses，“You
are
no
different
from
your
classmates,
young
man.”
I
tried，but
I
didn't
finish
the
reading
when
the
bell
rang.I
had
to
take
it
home.
In
the
quietness
of
my
bedroom,
the
story
suddenly
all
became
clear
to
me.
It
was
about
a
blind
person,
Louis
Braille.He
lived
in
a
time
when
the
blind
couldn't
get
much
education.
But
Louis
didn't
give
up.
Instead,
he
invented
a
reading
system
of
raised
dots
(点),
which
opened
up
a
whole
new
world
of
knowledge
to
the
blind.
Wasn't
I
the
“blind”
in
my
class,
being
made
to
learn
like
the
“sighted”
students
My
thoughts
spilled
out
and
my
pen
started
to
dance.
I
completed
the
task
within
40
minutes.
Indeed,
I
was
no
different
from
others;
I
just
needed
a
quieter
place.
If
Louis
could
find
his
way
out
of
his
problems,
why
should
I
ever
give
up
I
didn't
expect
anything
when
I
handed
in
my
paper
to
Mrs.Smith,
so
it
was
quite
a
surprise
when
it
came
back
to
me
the
next
day—with
an
“A”
on
it.
At
the
bottom
of
the
paper
were
these
words：“See
what
you
can
do
when
you
keep
trying？”
1．The
author
didn't
finish
the
reading
in
class
because
________.
A．he
was
new
to
the
class
B．he
was
tired
of
literature
C．he
had
an
attention
disorder
D．he
wanted
to
take
the
task
home
2．What
do
we
know
about

had
good
sight.
B．He
made
a
great
invention.
C．He
gave
up
reading.
D．He
learned
a
lot
from
school.
3．What
was
Mrs.
Smith's
attitude
to
the
author
at
the
end
of
the
story
A．Angry.
B．Impatient.
C．Sympathetic.
D．Encouraging.
4．What
is
the
main
idea
of
the
passage
A．The
disabled
should
be
treated
with
respect.
B．A
teacher
can
open
up
a
new
world
to
students.
C．One
can
find
his
way
out
of
difficulties
with
efforts.
D．Everyone
needs
a
hand
when
faced
with

【语篇导读】 本文讲述了作者上学时的个人经历。作者有注意力不集中的问题，但在老师的鼓励下，受到盲人故事的激励，作者最终克服了自己的问题。由此告诉我们一个人可以通过努力克服自己的缺陷。
1．解析：选C。细节理解题。此题为直接信息题，根据题干回到原文搜寻信息，定位到文章第一段At
thirteen，I
was
diagnosed
with
a
kind
of
attention
disorder.It
made
school
difficult
for
me.When
everyone
else
in
the
class
was
focusing
on
tasks，I
could
not.可知作者不能完成老师布置的任务是因为患有一种注意力障碍症。C项中had
an
attention
disorder与文中信息一致。故选C项。
2．解析：选B。细节理解题。根据文章第五段最后两句But
Louis
didn't
give
up.Instead，he
invented
a
reading
system
of
raised
dots，which
opened
up
a
whole
new
world
of
knowledge
to
the
blind.可知他发明了一套阅读体系，给盲人打开了一个全新的知识世界。故选B项。
3．解析：选D。推理判断题。此题考查对观点态度的推理。文章第三段提到史密斯老师认为作者和其他人没有什么不同，最后一段提到史密斯老师给了“我”一个“A”。又根据At
the
bottom
of
the
paper
were
these
words：“See
what
you
can
do
when
you
keep
trying？”由此可推断史密斯老师对“我”一直是鼓励的(encouraging)。故选D项。
4．解析：选C。主旨大意题。纵观全文，最初作者因自身疾病认为不能完成任务，之后读到一个肓人的励志故事，被激发勇气并努力尝试，最终出色地完成任务，都是不断努力的结果。故选C项，意为“一个人可以通过努力，找到摆脱困境的方法。”
B
Life
can
be
so
wonderful,
full
of
adventure
and
joy.
It
can
also
be
full
of
challenges,
setbacks
(挫折)
and
heartbreaks.Whatever
our
circumstances,
we
generally
still
have
dreams,
hopes
and
desires—that
little
something
more
we
want
for
ourselves
and
our
loved
ones.
Yet
knowing
we
can
have
more
can
also
create
a
problem,
because
when
we
go
to
change
the
way
we
do
things,
up
come
the
old
patterns
and
pitfalls
(陷阱)
that
stopped
us
from
seeking
what
we
wanted
in
the
first
place.
This
tension
between
what
we
feel
we
can
have
and
what
we're
seemingly
able
to
have
is
the
niggling
(烦人的)
suffering,
the
anxiety
we
feel.
This
is
where
we
usually
think
it's
easier
to
just
give
up.
But
we're
never
meant
to
let
go
of
the
part
of
us
that
knows
we
can
have
more.
The
intelligence
behind
that
knowing
is
us—the
real
us.
It's
the
part
that
believes
in
life
and
its
possibilities.
If
you
drop
that,
you
begin
to
feel
a
little
“dead”
inside
because
you're
dropping
“you”．
So,
if
we
have
this
capability
but
somehow
life
seems
to
keep
us
stuck,
how
do
we
break
these
patterns
Decide
on
a
new
course
and
make
one
decision
at
a
time.This
is
good
advice
for
a
new
adventure
or
just
getting
through
today's
challenges.
While,
deep
down,
we
know
we
can
do
it,
our
mind—or
the
minds
of
those
close
to
us—usually
says
we
can't.
That
isn't
a
reason
to
stop,
it's
just
the
mind,
that
little
man
or
woman
on
your
shoulder,
trying
to
talk
you
out
of
something
again.
It
has
done
it
many
times
before.
It's
all
about
starting
simple
and
doing
it
now.
Decide
and
act
before
overthinking.
When
you
do
this
you
may
feel
a
little,
or
large，release_from_the_jail_of_your_mind
and
you'll
be
on
your
way.
5．It
can
be
inferred
from
the
first
two
paragraphs
that
we
should
________.
A．slow
down
and
live
a
simple
life
B．be
careful
when
we
choose
to
change
C．stick
to
our
dreams
under
any
circumstances
D．be
content
with
what
we
already
have
6．What
is
the
key
to
breaking
the
old
patterns
A．To
focus
on
every
detail.
B．To
decide
and
take
immediate
action.
C．To
listen
to
those
close
to
us.
D．To
think
twice
before
we
act.
7．Which
of
the
following
best
explains
the
underlined
part
in
the
last
paragraph
A．Escape
from
your
punishment.
B．Realization
of
your
dreams.
C．Freedom
from
your
tension.
D．Reduction
of
your
expectations.
8．What
does
the
author
intend
to
tell
us
A．It's
easier
than
we
think
to
get
what
we
want.
B．It's
important
to
learn
to
accept
sufferings
in
life.
C．It's
impractical
to
change
our
way
of
thinking.
D．It's
harder
than
we
expect
to
follow
a
new
course.

jail
of
your
mind是一种比喻性说法，在本文中指代“想得太多”，即第二段首句中提到的tension(紧张状态)，且C项中的“Freedom”与原文中的release对应。故选C项。
8．解析：选A。主旨大意题。根据作者介绍的方法，尤其是最后一段的Decide
and
act
before
overthinking.及you'll
be
on
your
way可知，作者的写作目的是告诉我们“达到目的要比我们想象的容易得多”。

(2017·山东烟台模拟)The
term
“helicopter
parents”
refers
to
“a
style
of
parents
who
are
over
focused
on
their
children”．
Helicopter
parents
are
always
making
a
big
push
to
provide
children
with
every
opportunity
to
succeed,
from
baby
steps
at
age
1,
homework
at
age
8,
college
application
at
age
18,
employment
issues
at
age
25
to
family
problems
at
age
30,
40
or
even
older.
They
constantly
shadow
the
child,
always
directing
his
behavior,
allowing
him
zero
alone
time.
Helicopter
parenting
can
develop
for
a
number
of
reasons.Worries
about
the
economy,
the
job
market,
and
the
world
in
general
can
push
parents
toward
taking
more
control
over
their
child's
life
in
an
attempt
to
protect
them.
Adults
who
felt
unloved
or
ignored
as
children
can
overcompensate
their
own
children.
When
parents
see
other
overinvolved
parents,
it
can
cause
a
similar
response.
They
feel
that
if
they
don't
involve
themselves
in
their
children's
lives,
they
are
bad
parents.
The
main
problem
with
helicopter
parenting
is
that
it
can
backfire.
To
give
an
example,
the
house
where
Mary
lived
with
roommates
was
broken
into
and
things
were
stolen.
Mary
called
the
landlord(房东)to
install
an
alarm
system,
but
before
she
could
finish
the
negotiations(协商),
her
mother
rushed
in
and
demanded
action.
“I
felt
like
my
mother
ruined
my
communication
with
our
landlord.
We
could
have
gotten
it
done
ourselves.
She
was
well
intended
but
only
made
me
feel
annoyed
and
defeated，”says
Mary.
Obviously,
overparenting
is
motivated
with
the
idea
of
doing
good
things
but
it
does
the
exact
opposite.
In
the
long
run
parents
are
actually
damaging
their
child's
basic
skills
to
deal
with
matters
independently.
It
makes
the
child
feel
lacking
in
confidence,
less
competent
in
dealing
with
the
stresses
of
life
on
their
own.
They're
winning
the
battle,
but
actually
losing
the
war.
9．What's
the
purpose
of
helicopter
parents'
overparenting
A．To
do
something
good
for
their
children.
B．To
make
their
children
not
ignored.
C．To
help
their
children
find
a
good
job.
D．To
get
rid
of
the
pressure
from
other
parents.
10．What
can
we
learn
from
the
passage
A．Children
who
have
helicopter
parents
live
a
hard
life.
B．Helicopter
parenting
only
happens
to
very
young
children.
C.
Helicopter
parents
can
protect
their
children
against
all
problems.
D．Helicopter
parents
do
their
children
great
harm
in
the
long
run.
11．What
will
possibly
be
discussed
in
the
paragraph
that
follows
A．The
bad
effects
of
helicopter
parenting.
B．How
we
can
avoid
being
helicopter
parents.
C．Different
opinions
about
helicopter
parenting.
D．The
reasons
for
the
development
of
helicopter
parents.
12．What
is
the
author's
attitude
towards
“helicopter
parenting”？
A．Uninterested.
B．Objective.
C．Positive.
D．Disapproving.
【语篇导读】 本文为说明文。主要介绍了“直升机式父母”的定义，产生“直升机式父母”的原因及危害。
9．解析：选A。事实细节题。根据最后一段第一句“Obviously，overparenting
is
motivated
with
the
idea
of
doing
good
things
...”可知“直升机式父母”过分呵护孩子的目的是想做一些有益于孩子们的事情。故答案为A项。
10．解析：选D。推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，从长远看过分呵护孩子会毁掉孩子独立处理问题的基本技巧，使孩子缺乏自信心，在处理生活压力方面缺乏竞争力。由此可见从长远看，“直升机式父母”对孩子有很大危害。故答案为D项。
11．解析：选B。推理判断题。文章一、二段介绍了“直升机式父母”的定义及表现，第三段介绍了产生“直升机式父母”的原因，最后两段介绍了“直升机式父母”的危害。由此可见文章下文应该介绍如何避免成为“直升机式父母”。故答案为B项。
12．解析：选D。推理判断题。从最后一段可推知作者对“直升机式父母”的态度是不赞成的(disapproving)。故答案为D项。

(2017·河南天一大联考)500
dog
owners
played
the
same
games
at
home
that
researchers
use
in
the
laboratory
and
contributed
data
to
a
study
of
what
goes
on
inside
the
minds
of
their
dogs.
In
one
of
the
games,
the
dogs
watched
as
their
owners
hid
food
under
one
of
two
cups.
Then
while
the
dog's
eyes
were
covered,
the
owner
switched
the
food
to
the
other
cup.
And
the
owners
found
that
most
dogs
went
to
where
they
last
saw
the
food.
The
result
has
been
repeated
in
seven
different
research
groups
and
more
than
a
dozen
different
studies.“Most
people
think
dogs
use
their
sense
of
smell
for
everything，”
a
researcher
said.“But
actually
dogs
use
a
whole
range
of
senses
when
solving
problems.”
The
data
were
collected
through
a
website
called
Dognition.
com
that
was
developed
by
Brian
Hare,
an
associate
professor
who
studies
dog
cognition(认知)．
Analysis
of
the
unusually
large
data
set
created
by
Dognition.
com
has
also
found
that
all
dogs
have
a
unique
set
of
cognitive
(认知的)skills
that
they
use
to
deal
with
the
world
around
them.
Some
dogs
were
found
to
be
good
communicators,
some
had
better
memories
and
others
were
better
at
taking
their
owners'
perspective.
“Most
people
think
of
intelligence
as
a
glass
that
is
more
or
less
full，”Hare
said.“But
intelligence
is
more
like
ice
cream.
Everybody
has
different
flavors.
Being
good
at
one
thing
doesn't
mean
you
will
be
good
at
everything
else.”
Hare
said
these
kinds
of
findings
were
only
possible
with
the
big
data
sets
that
citizen
scientists
were
able
to
offer.
“So
much
is
possible
when
you
have
this
much
data，”Hare
said.“I'm
looking
forward
to
dog
owners
answering
all
the
big
questions
that
have
puzzled
scientists
for
decades.”
13．What
did
most
dogs
use
to
find
the
hidden
food
in
the
test
A．Memory.
B．Feeling.
C．Ears.
D．Nose.
14．Dog
owners
actively
participated
in
the
research
________.
A．to
entertain
themselves
B．to
test
the
IQ
of
their
dogs
C．to
train
their
dogs
to
be
more
intelligent
D．to
help
find
out
dogs'
problem
solving
skills
15．What
can
we
infer
from
what
Hare
said
A．Intelligence
is
unique
to
man
and
dogs.
B．Dogs
use
the
same
cognitive
skill
to
handle
problems.
C．There
is
still
something
about

D．Dogs
use
a

16．What
is
the
main
idea
of
the
passage
A．Dogs
are
not
as

【语篇导读】 本文为记叙文。为了弄清狗解决问题的方法，500名养狗人参与了一项研究。
13．解析：选A。事实细节题。根据第二段最后一句“...most
dogs
went
to
where
they
last
saw
the
food.”可推知在实验中狗是利用记忆力来寻找被藏起来的食物。故答案为A项。
14．解析：选D。事实细节题。根据文章第一句可推知许多养狗人积极参加这项研究是为了帮助弄清狗解决问题的技能。故答案为D项。
15．解析：选C。推理判断题。A项文中并未提及；根据第五段可知，所有的狗在解决它们周围的问题时都有自己独特的认知技巧，故排除B项；根据文章最后一句可知还有一些有关狗的问题一直困惑着科学家们，故答案为C项；第三段最后一句“But
actually
dogs
use
a
whole
range
of
senses
when

problems.”与D项相符。但与题干中的“...from
what
Hare
said”不符，故被排除。
16．解析：选B。主旨大意题。根据文章首段、尾段可知本文的主题是很多平民对狗的研究做出了很大贡献，故答案为B项。A项文中并未提及；第一段介绍了500名养狗人用研究人员在实验室中所用的方法在家里给狗做实验，但并未提及在家里做的实验结果与在实验室做的研究结果不同，故排除C项；根据最后一段“I'm
looking
forward
to
dog
owners
answering
all
the
big
questions
that
have
puzzled

for
decades.”可推知一直困惑科学家的问题还未彻底解决，故排除D项。
Ⅱ.七选五
iPads
vs.
Textbooks
What
if
you
could
have
your
whole
backpack
at
the
touch
of
your
fingertips？In
the
first
month
of
the
iPads'
release,
25
million
were
sold!
People
all
over
the
world
use
iPads
for
all
sorts
of
different
things,
but
one
of
their
finest
qualities
is
the
ability
to
be
a
textbook.____1____
To
begin
with,
iPads
are
less
expensive.
Textbooks
become
outdated
and
schools
have
to
buy
new
books,
but
with
an
iPad
schools
can
update
them
for
free.____2____Schools
don't
have
to
spend
$500
every
year
for
iPads
because
they
last
a
while
and
can
be
updated.
3____Students
usually
have
multiple
classes,
which
results
in
multiple
textbooks.
Heavy
backpacks
filled
with
books
can
cause
back
problems.
A
solution
to
that
is
an
iPad,
which
only
weighs
1.33
pounds
and
can
hold
all
of
a
student's
textbooks.
Third,
schools
should
get
rid
of
their
textbooks
and
get
iPads
because
they
have
more
capabilities.
Some
might
think
all
of
the
apps
are
distracting,
but
the
apps
actually
make
iPads
more
efficient.____4____Textbooks
cannot
do
those
tasks,
but
iPads
can
easily
do
them
with
just
a
tap
of
the
fingertip.
Lastly,
iPads
are
a
better
choice
for
schools
instead
of
textbooks
because
these
devices
allow
students
to
access
their
learning
anywhere
at
any
time.____5____With
iPads,
they
find
it
easier
to
get
their
homework
done.
In
conclusion,
schools
should
get
rid
of
their
clumsy
textbooks
and
switch
to
iPads.iPads
have
allowed
this
generation
to
have
their
entire
backpack
in
the
palm
of
their
hands.
A．Second,
iPads
cost
less
and
are
more
popular.
B．These
tablets
are
perfect
for
busy
students.
C．Therefore,
they
can
use
the
saved
money
for
other
programs.
D．Moreover,
in
high
school,
textbooks
have
an
average
of
4.8
pounds
each.
E．iPads
have
already
replaced
textbooks
in
over
600
American
counties.
F．iPads
absorb
the
need
to
buy
calculators,
dictionaries,
and
other
items
that
are
found
within
the
device.
G．Schools
have
every
reason
to
do
away
with
their
school
books
and
switch
to
iPads.
【解题导语】 本文介绍了iPad的另一个优势——iPad可以在学校充当教材使用。
1．解析：选G。由前文中的“but
one
of
their
finest
qualities
is
the
ability
to
be
a
textbook”可知，iPad可以被当作教材使用，故G项“学校有充分的理由取消他们的教材，转向使用iPad”符合语境。最后一段的第一句是全文的总结，也是本空的提示。
2．解析：选C。由上文中的“Textbooks
become
outdated
and
schools
have
to
buy
new
books，but
with
an
iPad
schools
can
update
them
for
free.”可知，使用iPad可以免费更新教材的内容，故C项“因此，他们可以把节省下来的钱用到其他项目上”符合语境。
3．解析：选D。由下文中的“Heavy
backpacks
filled
with
books
can
cause
back
problems.”可知，装满了书本的沉重的书包会引发背部疾病，故D项符合语境，表示“此外，在高中，每本教材平均重4.8磅”。
4．解析：选F。由下文中的“Textbooks
cannot
do
those
tasks，but
iPads
can
easily
do
them
with
just
a
tap
