(2017·四川成都诊断)From
sleeping
standing
up
to
shutting
down
half
of
their
brain，animals
have
some
strange
sleeping
habits.
Now
some
of
these
unusual
habits,
from
napping
giraffes
to
birds
that
sleep
while
flying,
have
been
shown
in
a
chart.
This
chart
shows
that
little
brown
bats
are
very
lethargic,_sleeping
for
around
19.5
hours
per
day.
This
long
period
of
sleep
is
thought
to
be
a
way
of
conserving
energy
and
it
means
brown
bats
only
hunt
for
a
few
hours
each
night
when
their
insect
food
is
available.
In
contrast,
giraffes
can
go
weeks
without
sleep
because
these
large
and
slow moving
animals
are
constantly
easy
to
the
attacks
from
predators.
However,
other
animals
are
experts
at
multitasking
and
can
swim
or
fly
while
sleeping.
For
example,
dolphins
and
whales
sleep
while
keeping
half
of
their
brain
alert
(警觉),
so
they
don't
drown,
with
dolphins
typically
napping
for
around
10
hours
a
day.The
method
is
known
as
“logging”
and
it
has
been
observed
in
bottlenose
dolphins,
which
keep
half
of
their
brain
at
a
low
level
of
alertness.
This
allows
the
dolphin
to
keep
enough
consciousness
to
carry
on
breathing
through
its
blowhole.
While
sea
otters
aren't
alert
while
they
sleep,
they
form
rafts
so
they
are
not
separated
from
each
other.
The
creatures
sometimes
hold
hands
or
paws
when
they
sleep
and
typically
eat,
sleep
and
rest
while
floating
in
groups
of
rafts.
1．The
underlined
word
“lethargic”
in
Paragraph
2
is
closest
in
meaning
to
________.
A．sleepy
B．inactive
C．energetic
D．movable
2．Why
do
little
brown
bats
have
a
long
period
of
sleep
A．To
avoid
sunshine.
B．To
save
more
energy.
C．To
relax
themselves.
D．To
wait
for
their
insect
food.
3．How
do
dolphins
avoid
drowning
while
sleeping
A．By
taking
extra
naps.
B．By
holding
hands
or
paws.
C．By
keeping
half
of
their
brain
alert.
D．By
breathing
through
their
blowholes.
4．What
do
sea
otters
do
in
order
not
to
be
separated
from
each
other
A．They
don't
sleep.
B．They
float
on
rafts.
C．They
float
in
groups.
D．They
hold
hands
all
the
time.
【语篇导读】 文章介绍了小棕蝠、长颈鹿、海豚、鲸和海獭等动物特殊的睡眠习惯。
1．解析：选A。词义猜测题。根据画线词后的sleeping
for
around
19.5
hours
per
day可知，小棕蝠每天大部分时间都在睡觉，由此可推断lethargic在此表示“昏昏欲睡的”，与sleepy意义相近。inactive意为“不活动的；怠惰的”；energetic意为“精力充沛的”；movable意为“活动的”。
2．解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第三段前半句This
long
period
of
sleep
is
thought
to
be
a
way
of
conserving
energy
...可知，小棕蝠睡得多是因为要保存体力。故选B项。
3．解析：选C。细节理解题。根据文章第五段第二句中dolphins
and
whales
sleep
while
keeping
half
of
their
brain
alert，so
they
don't
drown
...可知，海豚睡觉时它的部分大脑会保持警觉状态。故选C项。
4．解析：选C。细节理解题。根据文章最后一句中．..while
floating
in
groups
of
rafts可知选C项。B和D为强干扰项，但对比第六段的内容，可知这两项表达不准确。
B
Over
decades
of
studying
the
oceans'
fishes,
some
species
have
been
found
to
have
partial
warmbloodedness.
But
scientists
say
the
moonfish
circulates
heated
blood—and
puts
it
to
a
competitive
advantage.
“Nature
has
a
way
of
surprising
us
with
clever
strategies
where
you
least
expect
them，”
according
to
NOAA
Fisheries
biologist
Nicholas
Wegner，“It's
hard
to
stay
warm
when
you're
surrounded
by
cold
water
but
the
opah
has
figured
it
out.”
The
moonfish
is
not
a
small
animal;
it's
roughly
the
size
of
a
car
tire
and
often
weighs
more
than
100
pounds.
In
the
past,
it
was
often
viewed
as
a
fairly
content
dweller
of
water
that's
hundreds
of
feet
deep.
Now
researchers
say
the
moonfish
also
uses
internal
warmth
to
help
it
move
quickly
and
efficiently—and
kill
prey
such
as
squids
and
smaller
fish.
As
the
researchers
describe,
the
fish
relies
on
an
internal
heating
system
that
seems
to
have
been
developed
in
frigid
waters.
“Satellite
tracking
showed
opah
spend
most
of
their
time
at
depths
of
150
to
1,300
feet,
without
regularly
surfacing.
Their
higher
body
temperature
should
increase
their
muscle
output
and
capacity,
increase
their
eye
and
brain
function
and
help
them
resist
the
effects
of
cold
on
the
heart
and
other
organs,
Wegner
said.
“Fatty
tissue
surrounds
the
gills,
heart
and
muscle
tissue
where
the
opah
generates
much
of
its
internal
heat,
insulating
them
from
the
frigid
water.”Heat
is
generated
from
the
moonfish's
large
wing like
pectoral
fins,
which
were
previously
thought
only
to
help
it
swim
fast
enough
to
catch
prey.
The
agency's
researchers
say
they
found
an
unexpected
design
twist
in
the
moonfish's
gills
that
sets
it
apart
from
other
fish:
a
counter current
heat
exchange
in
which
blood
vessels
carrying
warm
blood
are
twined
around
vessels
that
are
bringing
oxygen—and
cold
temperatures—from
the
gills.
The
design
helps
the
opah
maintain
warm bloodedness.
“The
fish
had
an
average
muscle
temperature
about
5℃
above
the
surrounding
water
while
swimming
about
150
to
1,000
feet
below
the
surface，”
NOAA
says.

Ocean
animals
have
been
getting
bigger
over
the
last
half
billion
years.
Not
a
little
bigger.
Not
even
a
lot
bigger.They
have
been
mushroomed
(迅速增长的)
greatly，scientists
now
conclude.
Their
new
finding
lends
support
for
something
known
as
“Cope's
rule”.
It
holds
that
animals
tend
to
evolve
into
species
that
are
much
larger
than
their
distant
ancestors.
This
hypothesis
takes
its
name
from
the
19th
century
paleontologist
Edward
Drinker
Cope.While
studying
fossils
(化石),
he
was
the
first
to
notice
this_trend.
Noel
Heim
is
a
paleontologist
at
Stanford
University
in
Palo
Alto,
Calif.
He
is
also
a
co author
of
the
new
study.
His
team
compared
the
body
size
of
animals
between
the
Cambrian
Period
and
modern
times.
This
was
a
span
of
542
million
years.
The
animals
studied
included
more
than
17,000
species.
They
ranged
from
ancient
trilobites,
plesiosaurs
and
many
less
familiar
creatures
to
today's
whales
and
clams
(蛤蚌)．
Marine
animals
today
are
an
average
of
150
times
larger
than
they
were
during
the
Cambrian
Period，Heim's
group
reports.
But
there
exist
exceptions.
The
smallest
animals
alive
today—tiny
crustaceans
called
ostracods－are
only
about
one tenth
the
size
of
the
Cambrian's
tiniest
animals.
Today's
largest
marine
animals—whales—are
more
than
100,000
times
bigger
than
the
biggest
in
the
Cambrian
Period.
The
size
gains
in
marine
animals
are
much
larger
than
what
would
be
expected
by
chance,
says
Jonathan
Payne.
He's
a
co author
who
also
works
at
Stanford.
So
what
drives
the
trend
One
possibility
is
an
arms
race
(武力竞争)
between
predators
and
prey.
The
idea
here
is
that
larger
animals
are
less
likely
to
become
some
other
animals'
snacks.
Another
possibility
has
something
to
do
with
oxygen.
Land
animals
evolved
from
species
that
started
in
the
ocean.
Some
of
these
land
mammals
and
reptiles
(爬行动物)
eventually
returned
to
the
ocean.
And
they
kept
the
ability
to
breathe
oxygen rich
air.
That
may
have
made
it
easier
for
them
to
outgrow
animals
that
had
to
filter
their
oxygen
out
of
the
water.
13．What
does
the
underlined
part
“this
trend”
in
Paragraph
2
refer
to
A．Animals
tend
to
evolve
into
different
species.
B．Animals
tend
to
grow
stronger
through
evolution.
C．Animals
tend
to
look
different
from
their
distant
ancestors.
D．Animals
tend
to
grow
bigger
and
bigger
through
evolution.
14．In
order
to
do
the
study,
Noel
Heim
and
his
team
studied
________.
A．about
17,000
animals
in
total
B．uncommon
animals
of
modern
times
C．animals
from
a
span
of
542
million
years
D．17,000
species
from
the
Cambrian
Period
15．Whales
are
mentioned
as
an
example
to
show
that
________.
A．there
are
exceptions
through
evolution
B．large
marine
animals
tend
to
grow
larger
through
evolution
C．the
largest
marine
animals
remain
the
largest
through
evolution
D．large
marine
animals
can
better
live
in
the
changing
environment
16．What
is
the
main
idea
of
the
passage
A．Ocean
animals
evolve
following
“Cope's
rule”．
B．Ocean
animals
came
to
land
and
then
returned
to
ocean.
C．Ocean
animals
evolved
fast
in
the
last
half
billion
years.
D．Ocean
animals
mushroomed
in
size
in
the
last
half
billion
years.
【语篇导读】 研究发现，在过去五亿多年的进化过程中，海洋动物在进化过程中体积变大很多。

largest
marine
animals—whales—are
more
than
100,000

【语篇导读】 设定目标是当今一个热门的话题，但是说起来容易做起来难。我们该怎样去设定目标，又该怎样去实现这些目标呢？
1．A.withdraw
B．forget
C．change
D．store
解析：选B。下文提到，第二年他们再次设定同样的目标，由此可知，几个月之后就忘记(forget)了自己设定的目标。withdraw意为“(部队)撤退”；change意为“改变”；store意为“储存”。故选B项。
2．A.opposite
B．common
C．same
D．valid
解析：选C。下文中提到，目标应该设定得小而具体才容易实现。由此可以推断，那些常常半途而废的目标都是一样的。opposite意为“相反的”；common意为“常见的”；same意为“相同的”；valid意为“合理的；有效的”。故选C项。
3．A.global
B．precise
C．vague
D．realistic
解析：选A。根据__5__前的They
need
to
be
broken
apart
into
smaller
...pieces，可知，他们在完成目标时半途而废是因为目标太笼统。global意为“全面的，笼统的”；precise意为“精确的”；vague意为“模糊的”；realistic意为“现实的”。故选A项。
4．A.simple
B．achievable
C．reliable
D．clear
解析：选B。根据__6__前的Make
spoon size
goals
and
you'll
accomplish
...可知，如果目标小而具体就比较容易实现。由此可知，此处指这些目标也不是不可实现的。simple意为“简单的”；achievable意为“可实现的”；reliable意为“可靠的”；clear意为“清晰的”。故选B项。
5．A.equal
B．unusual
C．regular
D．specific
解析：选D。句意：这些目标需要分解成小而具体的部分。根据上下文可知，大而笼统的目标不容易实现，与此相反的应该是小而具体的目标。equal意为“相等的”；unusual意为“不同寻常的”；regular意为“普通的”；specific意为“具体的”。故选D项。
6．A.slowly
B．accurately
C．easily
D．instantly
解析：选C。根据空前的Make
spoon size
goals可知，将目标设定得小而具体就容易实现。slowly意为“慢慢地”；accurately意为“精确地”；easily意为“容易地”；instantly意为“立刻”。故选C项。
7．A.support
B．lead
C．force
D．follow
解析：选A。根据本段后面的内容可知，当你实现了目标的时候，他们会不高兴，因为你的成功提醒了他们，他们本来也可以做到的。由此可知，许多人可能不愿支持(support)你去实现你的目标。故选A项。lead意为“带领”；force意为“强迫；迫使”；follow意为“跟随；跟着”。
8．A.comfortable
B．familiar
C．careful
D．patient
解析：选A。根据下文的They
may
even
be
enthusiastic
about
your
...可知，他们甚至于对你想改变或完成一些新的事情的欲望充满热情。因此此处指“当你有自己的目标的时候，他们和你在一起会感到自在”。comfortable意为“舒适的”；familiar意为“熟悉的”；careful意为“细心的”；patient意为“耐心的”。此处应该是一种情绪，跟patient无关。故选A项。
9．A.means
B．desire
C．skill
D．energy
解析：选B。根据上下文可知，此处指的是他们只对你的欲望感兴趣。means意为“方法”；desire意为“欲望”；skill意为“技巧”；energy意为“精力”。故选B项。
10．A.Therefore
B．Besides
C．Otherwise
D．However
解析：选D。下文的they
may
not
like
it与上文的They
may
even
be
enthusiastic
about
your
...之间为转折关系，故应用However表转折。句意：但是，当你作出了改变并完成了目标，他们可能就会不喜欢。故选D项。therefore意为“因此”；besides意为“除此之外；而且”；otherwise意为“否则”。
11．A.inform
B．convince
C．remind
D．warn
解析：选C。下文的that
they
could
be
doing
it，too说明是你的改变和成功对他们的“提醒”。inform意为“通知”；convince意为“说服”；remind意为“提醒”；warn意为“警告”。故选C项。句意：这通常是因为你的改变和成功使他们意识到他们也可以做到的，但是他们没有！
12．A.and
B．but
C．or
D．for
解析：选B。句意见上一题解析。空后的they
aren't与空前的they
could
be
doing
it，too之间为转折关系。故选B项。
13．A.notebook
B．file
C．schedule
D．case
解析：选C。句意：你可能把你的日程表排得满满的，以至于没有去实现目标的空间了。notebook意为“笔记本”；file意为“文件夹”；schedule意为“时间表”；case意为“箱子”。四个选项中只有C项与目标的设定有关。故选C项。
14．A.doubt
B．hope
C．dimension
D．room
解析：选D。句意见上一题解析。doubt意为“怀疑”；hope意为“希望”；dimension意为“尺寸”；room意为“空间”。根据语境可知选D项。
15．A.progress
B．process
C．practice
D．promotion
解析：选A。句意：我们要注意不要把忙碌与进步混为一谈，因为目标是一步一步实现的。progress意为“进步，进程”；process意为“过程”；practice意为“实践”；promotion意为“晋升”。只有A项progress与下文中的achieved
step
by
step相对应。故选A项。
16．A.selective
B．curious
C．skeptical
D．optimistic
解析：选A。根据语境。时间有限，工作忙碌，要想一步一步地实现目标，只能在时间和关注点上有所选择。selective意为“有选择的”；curious意为“好奇的”；skeptical意为“怀疑的”；optimistic意为“乐观的”。故选A项。
17．A.figure
out
B．leave
out
C．take
out
D．send
out
解析：选B。根据下文的rather
than
what
to
include可知，该空与include相对，应表示“舍弃”。figure
out意为“算出”；leave
out意为“省去”；take
out意为“拿出”；send
out意为“派出”。故选B项。根据上题的答案selective也可知答案。
18．A.confused
B．upset
C．excited
D．worried
解析：选C。根据鸡对猪说的话Look，we've
got
double
billing
again.“我们身价又涨了一倍。”可知，鸡在看到招牌后很兴奋。confused意为“困惑的”；upset意为“不安的”；excited意为“兴奋的”；worried意为“担心的”。故选C项。
19．A.strange
B．pitiful
C．necessary
D．natural
解析：选D。句意：你当然那么说了！对你来说，那是一天的工作，对我来说，那是全部的投入。根据猪说的话可知，它认为鸡那样说是很自然的。strange意为“奇怪的”；pitiful意为“可怜的”；necessary意为“必要的”；natural意为“自然的”。故选D项。
20．A.development
B．achievement
C．management
D．assessment
解析：选B。这句话与上文中猪的话相呼应，应指目标的完成。development意为“发展”；achievement意为“完成”；management意为“管理”；assessment意为“评估”。故选B项。
Ⅱ.语法填空
(2017·黑龙江哈尔滨六中模拟)People
in
communities
have
slowly
been
pushed
apart
through
the
years,
mostly
because
people
simply
aren't
taking
the
time
to
say
a
simple
“hello”.
After
considering
this
phenomenon,
I
decided
I
was
going
to
change
the
way
I
got
on
1.____________
others.
My
opportunity
came
one
morning
when
I
was
in
the
community
library.
I
passed
by
a
girl
2.____________
dropped
her
books
out
of
her
locker
3.____________(think)
that
someone
else
would
help
her
pick
them
up.
I
continued
my
way.
However,
when
I
had
to
go
back
4.____________
I
forgot
my
book,
I
noticed
she
had
just
finished
picking
them
up
by
herself.
No
one
had
stopped
5.____________(help)
her.
“OK”，
I
thought
to
myself，“this
is
where
I
should
have
changed.”
My
best
opportunity
came
a
few
days
later
when
I
saw
a
man
sitting
by
himself
waiting
for
the
library
to
open,
so
I
sat
down
next
to
him
and
6.____________(begin)
a
conversation.
It
was
difficult
to
get
started,
and
even
when
I
had
to
say
goodbye，almost
every
7.____________(respond)
from
my
new
friend
had
a
tone
(语气)
of
doubt
in
it.
And
who
could
blame
him
People

8.____________

chat
with
a

But
a
change,
no

how
9.____________(desperate)
it
is
needed,
doesn't
just
happen.
It
takes
people
like
us
to
make
it
possible.
I
advise
you
to
take
a
small

out
of
your

【语篇导读】 社区中的人们多年关系都很生疏，主要是因为人们不会花时间去打个很简单的招呼。作者从自身做起，通过和陌生人打招呼，建议大家都行动起来，使人与人之间的关系变得更近。
1．with get
on
with
sb.是固定搭配，意为“与某人相处”。所以填with。
2．who/that 分析句子结构，设空处引导定语从句，从句中缺主语。由于先行词是a
girl，所以填关系代词who/that。
3．thinking 设空处与谓语动词passed之间没有并列连词，应用非谓语动词形式，且和主语I存在主动关系，所以填现在分词thinking作伴随状语。
4．because/as/since 句意：因为我忘记带书不得不回去的时候，我发现她刚刚自己捡起书。根据文意并结合前后两句的逻辑关系，可知此处要用一个表因果关系的连词。所以填because/as/since。
5．to
help stop
to
do
sth.是固定搭配，意为“停下来做某事”。所以填to
help。
6．began 空前and连接前面的谓语动词sat
down，形式应该相同。所以填过去式began。
7．response 分析句式结构可知设空处应作主语且前面有every限定修饰，所以填respond的名词的单数形式response。
8．an 此处chat为可数名词，意为“聊天”，而且在其前面有unprepared一词，所以填不定冠词an。
9．desperately 此处为no
matter
how＋adj./adv.，根据句意，设空处要用一个副词来修饰谓语动词，所以填desperately。
10．brighter 根据句意以及空格前的a
little可知要用比较级，所以填brighter。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2017·江西宜春调研)The
results
of
a
small
but
telling
new
study
suggest
that
medicare
and
other
insurers
could
be
spent
billions
of
dollars
on
screening
smokers
for
lung
cancer
that
would
be
better
spent
on
helping
them
stop
and
keeping
others
from
starting.
The
new
study
indicated
that
screening
more
often
supported
smokers'
beliefs
that
they
could
safely
continue
to
smoke.
Most
participants
remained
smokers
because
they
believed
screening
could
catch
cancer
early
before
it
would
threaten
their
lives.
“They
compared
how
hard
it
was
to
quit
smoking
with
how
easy
it
was
to
be
screened，”said
Steven
B.
Zeliadt,
the
lead
author
of
the
study.“They
think
there's
this
wonderful
painless
test
that
can
save
lives.”
He
and
seven
colleagues
conducted
the
study
of
37
current
smokers
who
were
offered
lung
cancer
screening
at
Department
of
Veteran
Affairs.
After
being
screened
and
told
the
results,
they
were
interviewed
about
their
smoking related
health
beliefs.
For
about
half
of
those
in
whom
cancer
was
not
found，“Screening
lowered
their
motivation
for
quitting，”the
team
reported
in
July
in
JAMA
Internal
Medicine.
The
participants
focused
only
on
lung
cancer,
ignoring
other
potential
harm
of
smoking,
the
researchers
wrote.
A
national
study
published
four
years
ago
found
that
annual
CT
screening
for
lung
cancer
three
years
in
a
row
could
reduce
deaths
among
heavy
smokers
by
about
20%.
In
an
interview,
Dr.
Harris
said，“Screening
is
being
believed
by
people
as
an
alternative
to
stopping
smoking.
But
stopping
smoking
would
have
huge
benefits
for
the
individual
and
society.”Furthermore,
smoking
causes
many
other
cancers.
Dr.
Harris
agreed
that
rather
than
screening,
money
is
better
spent
on
smoking
prevention.
He
suggested
providing
free
stop smoking
aids,
sponsoring
antismoking
advertising
and
raising
taxes
on
tobacco
products
and
the
age
at
which
people
are
allowed
to
buy
them.
1．What
does
the
new
study
suggest
A．Screening
technology
remains
to
be
advanced
and
more
effective.
B．Screening
can
find
cancer
in
patients
and
give
them
timely
treatment.
C．Helping
people
quit
smoking
is
better
than
screening
them
for
cancer.
D．Admitting
smoking
before
screening
can
help
one
to
stop
smoking.
2．What
effect
can
screening
have
on
smokers
A．They
will
be
scared
by
the
result
and
quit
smoking.
B．They
will
believe
it
can
catch
and
treat
cancer
early.
C．They
will
lose
hope
and
go
on
smoking.
D．They
will
know
screening
costs
less
than
smoking.
3．What
does
the
underlined
word
“they”(in
Paragraph
5)
refer
to
A．The
smokers
screened
in
the
study.
B．Steven
Zeliadt
and
his
colleagues.
C．Dr.
Harris
and
his
patients.
D．The
patients'
health
beliefs.
4．Which
of
the
following
can
be
a

for
the
passage
A．The

B．Screening

【语篇导读】 随着医学的发达，通过拍片能够及早发现烟民是否患有肺癌。但这一做法却带来了不好的一面：没有检查出疾病的人会继续抽烟，因为他们认为医学能够帮助他们及时发现癌症并进行治疗。
1．解析：选C。细节理解题。第一段谈到一项新研究的发现时说，该发现表明，医疗和其他保险机构花大量的钱给烟民拍X光检查肺癌，但其实这笔钱用来帮他们戒烟的效果更好，故选C项。
2．解析：选B。细节理解题。第二段说，大部分参与拍片的病人都会觉得，拍X光能够及时找出癌症，因此就会继续抽烟，故选B项。
3．解析：选A。词义猜测题。从画线词的语境看，这个代词指前面提到的史蒂文进行疾病扫描的那些烟民，故选A项。
4．解析：选D。主旨大意题。全文介绍对烟民进行肺癌疾病扫描带来的负面影响，认为烟民看到自己拍片的结果不严重时就会继续抽烟，因此本文的标题应该选D项。

“Put
your
coat
on,
Ali，”I
suggested
to
my
daughter
as
we
hurried
out
of
the
door
with
the
rest
of
the
family.
“I
don't
want
to
wear
a
coat！”From
the
way
my
daughter
complained,
you
would
have
thought
she
was
eight
years
old
instead
of
fourteen.
We
headed
to
see
the
musical，Annie.I
was
highly
anticipating
this
evening,
not
only
because
it
was
my
first
time
attending
a
musical
since
I
became
involved
with
productions
myself,
but
also
because
this
was
the
year
my
husband
and
I
had
adopted
our
own
little
orphan.
I
imagined
my
daughter
and
me
bonding
over
one
of
the
musical's
songs
Tomorrow.
As
soon
as
we
arrived,
she
found
her
friends
and
told
me
she
was
going
to
sit
together
with
them.
I
had
to
respectfully
deny
her
request.
I
very
thoughtfully
put
a
seat
between
my
husband
and
myself
for
my
daughter，but
she
chose
to
sit
with
her
friends.
I
realized
this
evening
was
not
going
to
be
what
I
had
imagined.
The
curtain
opened,
and
the
orphans
began
to
sing
about
the
parents
who
they
knew
were
out
there
somewhere
in
the
song
Maybe.
I
sang
along
in
my
head
as
we
saw
the
orphans
and
their
It's
the
Hard
Knock
Life
come
to
life
in
the
orphanage.
The
awful
headmistress
(女校长),
Ms.
Hannigan,
made
me
want
to
laugh
as
she
sang
Little
Girls
to
show
how
the
girls
in
the
orphanage
drove
her
mad.
I
was
almost
surprised
when
my
daughter
came
up
and
gave
me
a
tight
hug.“I
love
you,
Mom.”As
Daddy
Warbucks
sang
to
little
orphan
Annie
about
who
would
need
him
and
who
would
dream
he
would
find
one
little
girl;
I
hugged
my
daughter
close
and
kissed
the
top
of
her
head.
There
are
some
moments
in
life
that
only
music
or
drama
can
really
express.

Failure
is
probably
the
most
exhausting
experience
a
person
ever
has.
There
is
nothing
more
tiring
than
not
succeeding.
We
experience
this
tiredness
in
two
ways:
as
start up
fatigue
(疲惫)
and
performance
fatigue.
In
the
former
case,
we
keep
putting
off
a
task
because
it
is
either
too
boring
or
too
difficult.And
the
longer
we
delay
it,
the
more
tired
we
feel.
Such
start up
fatigue
is
very
real,
even
if
not
actually
physical，not
something
in
our
muscles
and
bones.
The
solution
is
obvious
though
perhaps
not
easy
to
apply:
always
handle
the
most
difficult
job
first.
Years
ago,
I
was
asked
to
write
102
essays
on
the
great
ideas
of
some
famous
authors.
Applying
my
own
rule,
I
determined
to
write
them
in
alphabetical
order
(按字母顺序),
never
letting
myself
leave
out
a
tough
idea.
And
I
always
started
the
day's
work
with
the
difficult
task
of
essay writing.
Experience
proved
that
the
rule
works.
Performance
fatigue
is
more
difficult
to
handle.
Though
willing
to
get
started,
we
cannot
seem
to
do
the
job
right.
Its
difficulties
appear
so
great
that,
however
hard
we
work,
we
fail
again
and
again.
In
such
a
situation,
I
work
as
hard
as
I
can—then
let
the
unconscious
take
over.
When
planning
Encyclopaedia
Britannica
(《大英百科全书》),
I
had
to
create
a
table
of
contents
based
on
the
topics
of
its
articles.
Nothing
like
this
had
ever
been
done
before,
and
day
after
day
I
kept
coming
up
with
solutions,
but
none
of
them
worked.
My
fatigue
became
almost
unbearable.
One
day,
mentally
exhausted,
I
wrote
down
all
the
reasons
why
this
problem
could
not
be
solved.
I
tried
to
convince
myself
that
the
trouble
was
with
the
problem
itself,
not
with
me.Relieved,
I
sat
back
in
an
easy
chair
and
fell
asleep.
An
hour
later,
I
woke
up
suddenly
with
the
solution
clearly
in
mind.In
the
weeks
that
followed,
the
solution
which
had
come
up
in
my
unconscious
mind
proved
correct
at
every
step.
Though
I
worked
as
hard
as
before,
I
felt
no
fatigue.
Success
was
now
as
exciting
as
failure
had
been
depressing.
Human
beings,
I
believe,
must
try
to
succeed.
Success,
then,
means
never
feeling
tired.
12．People
with
start up
fatigue
are
most
likely
to
________.
A．delay
tasks
B．work
hard
C．seek
help
D．accept
failure
13．What
does
the
author
recommend
doing
to
prevent
start up
fatigue
A．Writing
essays
in
strict
order.
B．Building
up
physical
strength.
C．Leaving
out
the
toughest
ideas.
D．Dealing
with
the
hardest
task
first.
14．On
what
occasion
does
a
person
probably
suffer
from
performance
fatigue
A．Before
starting
a
difficult
task.
B．When
all
the
solutions
fail.
C．If
the
job
is
rather
boring.
D．After
finding
a
way
out.
15．According
to
the
author,
the
unconscious
mind
may
help
us
________.
A．ignore
mental
problems
B．get
some
nice
sleep
C．gain
complete
relief

the
right
solution

could
be

best
title
for
the
passage

Built

Failure

to
Handle

Fatigue

Skin to skin
Effort
Aims
to
Cut
Newborn
Deaths
(2017·北京海淀模拟)A
social
media
campaign
has
been
launched
in
China
to
cut
down
the
number
of
newborn
babies
who
die
in
the
first
24
hours
of
life.
The
campaign,
called
First
Embrace(拥抱)
,
promotes
skin to skin
contact
between
mother
and
baby
immediately
after
birth,
a
practice
proven
to
keep
the
baby
warm
and
help
it
to
fight
infections(感染)．
There
are
16
million
babies
born
in
China
each
year,
and
approximately
150,000
of
them
die
before
they
reach
one
month
of
age.____1____Zhang
Shuyi,
a
researcher
at
the
Capital
Institute
of
Pediatrics
in
Beijing,
said
there
was
strong
evidence
for
the
First
Embrace
approach.
“When
babies
are
cold,
they
are
more
likely
to
catch
infections
or
have
difficulty
breathing，”she
said，“____2____It
provides
direct
protection
against
infections,
promotes
bonding
between
the
parent
and
child
and
supports
breast feeding.”Health
workers
who
shifted
from
the
normal
practice
of
separation
to
skin to skin
contact
have
observed
that
babies
are
more
pink,
calm
and
comfortable.
The
WHO
has
developed
the
First
Embrace
approach
to
helping
reduce
newborn
deaths
across
the
Western
Pacific
region，including
China.
Bernhard
Schwartlander,
the
WHO
Representative
in
China,
said，“As
many
as
two thirds
of
newborn
deaths
could
be
prevented
using
simple,
low cost
methods,
including
the
First
Embrace.”
3____The
WHO
will
be
posting
information
about
the
campaign,
and
hosting
online
question and answer
sessions
with
Chinese
and
international
experts.
The
public
can
participate
by
following
the
WHO
on
Weibo
and
joining
the
conversation.Schwartlander
said，“We
are
targeting
new
parents,
pregnant
women
and
couples
thinking
about
having
a
baby.____4____”
Just
last
month,
a
new
research
shows
that
child
and
mother
health
outcomes
in
Shanghai
are
equal
to
those
in
the
USA
and
Canada.____5____Hopefully,
the
messages
conveyed
by
the
new
campaign
could
help
to
bridge
that
gap.
A．The
campaign
has
now
been
launched
via
Weibo.
B．Of
that
number,
half
die
in
the
first
24
hours
of
life.
C．Skin to skin
contact
keeps
a
baby
warm
by
transferring
heat.
D．Those
parents
who
lost
their
newborn
babies
can
get
supports
on
the
platform.
E．In
other
parts
of
China,
however,
the
statistics
are
like
those
of
poor
countries.
F．It
indicates
that
related
methods
for
health
care
and
birth
quality
should
be
improved.
G．We
also
aim
to
involve
health
professionals
in
the
importance
of
early
essential
newborn
care.

Travelling
abroad
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
More
students
than
ever
before
are
taking
a
gap year(间隔年)before
going
to
university.It
used
to
be
called
the
“year
off”
between
school
and
university.The
gap year
phenomenon
originated(起源)with
the
months
left
over
to
Oxbridge
applicants
between
entrance
exams
in
November
and
the
start
of
the
next
academic
year.
This
year,25,310
students
who
have
accepted
places
in
higher
education
institutions
have
put
off
their
entry
until
next
year，according
to
statistics
on
university
entrance
provided
by
the
University
and
College
Admissions
Service(UCAS)．
That
is
a
record
14.7%
increase
in
the
number
of
students
taking
a
gap
year.Tony
Higgins
from
UCAS
said
that
the
statistics
are
good
news
for
everyone
in
higher
education.“Students
who
take
a
well planned
year
out
are
more
likely
to
be
satisfied
with，and
complete
their
chosen
course.Students
who
take
a
gap
year
are
often
more
mature
and
responsible，”he
said.
But
not
everyone
is
happy.Owain
James，the
president
of
the
National
Union
of
Students(NUS)，argued
that
the
increase
is
evidence
of
student
hardship
－
young
people
are
being
forced
into
earning
money
before
finishing
their
education.“New
students
are
now
aware
that
they
are
likely
to
leave
university
up
to
￡15,000
in
debt.It
is
not
surprising
that
more
and
more
students
are
taking
a
gap
year
to
earn
money
to
support
their
study
for
the
degree.NUS
statistics
show
that
over
40%
of
students
are
forced
to
work
during
term
time
and
the
figure
increases
to
90%
during
vacation
periods，”he
said.

in

(2017·福建福州质检)Some
people
are
so
rude!
Who
sends
an
e mail
or
a
text
message
that
just
says
“Thank
you”？
Who
leaves
a
voicemail
message
rather
than
texts
you
Who
asks
for
a
fact
easily
found
on
Google
Don't
these
people
realize
that
they're
wasting
your
time
Maybe
I'm
the
rude
one
for
not
appreciating
life's
little
politeness.
But
many
socially
agreed
standards
just
don't
make
sense
to
people
drowning
in
digital
communication.
In
texts,
you
don't
have
to
declare
who
you
are
or
even
say
hello.
E mail
is
slower
than
a
text.
Voicemail
is
a
now
impolite
way
of
trying
to
connect.
My
father
learned
this
lesson
after
leaving
me
a
dozen
voicemail
messages,
none
of
which
I
listened
to.
Exasperated,_he
called
my
sister
to
express
his
dissatisfaction
that
I
never
returned
his
phone
calls.“Why
are
you
leaving
him
voicemail？”my
sister
asked.“Just
text
him.”
In
the
age
of
the
smartphone,
there
is
no
reason
to
ask
once acceptable
questions
about
the
weather
forecast,
a
business's
phone
number,
or
directions
to
a
house,
a
restaurant,
which
can
be
easily
found
on
Google
Maps.
But
people
still
ask
these
things.
And
when
you
answer,
they
respond
with
a
thank you
e mail.
How
to
handle
these
differing
standards
Consider
your
audience.
Some
people,
especially
older
ones,
appreciate
a
thankyou
message.
Others,
like
me,
want
no
reply.
The
anthropologist(人类学家)Margaret
Mead
once
said
that
in
traditional
societies,
the
young
learn
from
the
old.
But
in
modern
societies,
the
old
can
also
learn
from
the
young.
Here's
hoping
that
politeness
never
goes
out
of
fashion
but
that
time wasting
forms
of
communication
do.
5．What
does
the
underlined
word
“Exasperated”
mean
in
the
fifth
paragraph
A．Worried.
B．Annoyed.
C．Surprised.
D．Tired.
6．Why
didn't
the
writer
reply
to
his
father
A．He
didn't
want
to
talk
with
his
father.
B．He
liked
text
messages
better.
C．He
didn't
receive
any
voicemail
messages.
D．He
enjoyed
checking
his
voicemail.
7．Which
of
the
following
does
the
writer
agree
to
A．Dealing
with
voicemail
should
vary
with
each
individual.
B．Declaring
who
they
are
or
saying
hello
in
texts
is
necessary.
C．People
needn't
learn
from
one
another
in
traditional

D．People
needn't
turn
to

for
help
when
in

8．What's
the
best
title
for
this
passage
A．Nowadays：what
means
should
we
use
in
communication
B．Nowadays：do

C．Nowadays：what

【语篇导读】 本文为说明文。随着数字通讯设备的普及，人们对通讯礼节标准的理解也发生了很大变化，那么如何应对这些不同的标准呢？
5．解析：选B。猜测词义题。根据画线词后的“he
called
my
sister
to
express
his
dissatisfaction...”可推出画线词的意思是：气愤的(Annoyed)。
6．解析：选B。推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Why
are
you
leaving
him
voicemail？”及“Just
text
him.”可推知作者没有给他父亲回电话的原因是他更喜欢文字信息，不喜欢语音信息。
7．解析：选A。事实细节题。根据倒数第二段可知，处理语音信息问题应该因人而异，故答案为A项；根据第四段第一句可排除B项；根据倒数第一段可排除C项；根据第六段“there
is
no
reason
to
ask
once acceptable
questions
about...which
can
be
easily
found
on
Google
Maps”可排除D项。
8．解析：选A。主旨大意题。根据全文尤其是文章最后一段可知作者写此文章的目的是告诉读者目前在日常交流中应采取哪种方式，故答案为A项。

(2017·天星教育第一次大联考)Last
weekend
I
visited
Rome
for
the
first
time.
I
spent
three
busy
days
in
the
capital
of
Italy,
seeing
lots
of
tourist
attractions
and
walking
down
streets
lit
with
Christmas
decorations.
There
are
a
lot
of
things
I
love
about
the
city.
Rome
is
one
of
the
most
ancient
cities
in
the
world
and
is
full
of
wonderful
relics
(遗迹)
from
its
distant
past.
These
monuments
include
the
Roman
Forum
and
the
vast
Coliseum
where
gladiators
used
to
fight
each
other
until
death
and
hunt
animals
coming
from
another
country.
The
ruins
of
buildings
and
temples
are
fascinating.You
can't
quite
believe
how
old
they
are.
I
studied
the
masterpieces
of
the
Renaissance
period
at
university
and
was
very
excited
to
see
them
in
real
life.
I
walked
around
the
museum
in
Vatican
City
and
saw
plenty
of
famous
sculptures(雕塑).
The
best
part
of
the
visit
was,
without
doubt,
the
Sistine
Chapel
ceiling,
painted
in
the
early
16th
century
by
the
great
Michelangelo.
It
was
so
breathtaking
that
I
couldn't
tear
my
eyes
away
from
it.
In
Rome,
there
is
a
lot
of
food
on
offer
for
tourists
but
some
of
it
isn't
of
very
good
quality.
I
made
an
effort
to
find
reliable
restaurants
to
taste
the
popular
meals
of
the
region,
like
pasta
with
tomato，onion
and
bacon.
I
also
loved
eating
ice
cream
and
hot
chocolate
under
the
Christmas
lights.
Rome
has
not
only
lots
of
luxury
boutiques
(精品店)
but
also
plenty
of
shops
that
were
more
in
my
price
range!
It
was
a
perfect
opportunity
to
go
and
buy
presents
for
my
family
and
friends.
There
was
also
a
Christmas
market,
where
I
bought
a
sparkly
decoration
for
the
tree.

“gladiators”
in

Rome's
distant
past
C．you
can't
help
wondering
how

are

the
Roman
Forum
and

D
(2017·福建南平质检)Once
an
old
man
rose
early
to
read
each
morning.
His
grandson
wanted
to
be
just
like
his
grandfather,
so
tried
to
emulate
him
every
way
he
could.
One
day
the
grandson
asked，“Grandpa,
I
try
to
read
just
like
you
do,
but
I
don't
understand
most
of
it,
and
I
forget
whatever
I
do
understand
immediately
I
close
the
book.
So
what
good
is
it
for
me
to
read？”
The
grandfather,
who
was
putting
coal
on
the
fire,
said，“Take
this
coal
basket
down
to
the
river
and
bring
me
back
a
basket
of
water.”
The
boy
did
as
told
to,
but
the
water
leaked
out
before
he
could
get
the
basket
home.
The
grandfather
laughed,
saying，“You'll
have
to
move
a
little
faster.”This
time
he
ran
faster,
but
again
the
basket
emptied.
Out
of
breath,
he
decided
it
was
impossible
to
carry
water
in
a
basket,
and
he
went
to
get
a
bucket
(桶).
But
the
grandfather
said，“I
want
a
basket
of
water
instead
of
a
bucket
of
water.
You're
just
not
trying
hard
enough.”
The
boy
knew
what
he
was
trying
to
accomplish
was
impossible.However,
he
decided
to
show
his
grandfather
a
third
time.
The
boy
dipped
the
basket
into
the
river
and
ran
as
hard
as
he
could.
With
the
empty
basket,
he
gasped(喘气说)，“See
Grandpa？It's
useless
！”
“So
you
think
it
useless？”the
old
man
asked.“Then
look
at
the
basket.”To
his
surprise,
the
boy
found
it
washed
clean
of
the
dirty
coal
stains
and
now
clean
inside
and
out.
“My
child,
that's
what
happens
when
you
read
the
book.
You
might
not
understand
or
remember
everything,
but
the
words
will
change
you
inside
and
out.
That
is
the
work
of
reading
in
our
lives.”
13．Why
did
the
man
tell
the
boy
to
fetch
a
basket
of
water
A．The
work
was
too
much
for
himself.
B．The
work
could
test
how
fast
the
boy
ran.
C．He
intended
to
train
the
boy
to
run
faster.
D．He
meant
to
inspire
the
boy
through
an
example.
14．What
does
the
underlined
word
“emulate”
in
Paragraph
1
most
probably
mean
A．Admire.
B．Encourage.
C．Challenge.
D．Copy.
15．Which
of
the
following
words
can
be
used
to
describe
the
grandfather
A．Wise
and
diligent.
B．Healthy
and
smart.
C．Thoughtful
and
loving.
D．Serious
and
knowledgeable.
16．What
would
be
the

for
this
passage
A．The
Power
of
Reading
B．A
Basket
of
Water
C．Old
Man
and
His
Grandson
D．On
Reading
Books
【语篇导读】 本文为记叙文。作者通过讲述一对爷孙间的故事告诉读者读书在人生中的作用。
13．解析：选D。推理判断题。根据全文尤其是最后一段可知爷爷让孙子用篮子打水的目的是告诉孙子尽管他在大多数情况下不理解甚至忘了他所读的内容，然而文字可以彻底改变一个人。由此可见爷爷想通过让孙子用篮子打水这一过程鼓励他继续读书。故答案为D项。
14．解析：选D。猜测词义题。根据画线词前面的“His
grandson
wanted
to
be
just
like
his
grandfather”可知emulate的意思是copy(模仿)。
15．解析：选A。推理判断题。根据文章第一句可知爷爷很刻苦(diligent)；通过爷爷教育孙子的方法可知爷爷很聪明(wise)，故答案为A项。
16．解析：选A。主旨大意题。作者通过讲述本故事想表达的主题是：读书能够改变人生。故答案为A项(读书的力量)。
Ⅱ.七选五
(2017·江西临川一中期中考试)Never
Over study
When
you
spend
too
much
time
studying
you
will
quickly
lose
focus
and
the
time
spent
in
studying
will
become
“junk
time”．You
think
you're
studying
but
you're
just
sitting
there
re reading
the
same
sentence
about
100
times
and
you're
not
getting
anywhere.____1____Taking
breaks
will
make
you
energetic
again
and
refresh
your
mind.
Besides,
it
will
give
your
mind
some
time
to
take
in
what
you
have
been
doing.
Plan
your
plan
2____They
actually
plan
what
they
are
going
to
do.
They
actually
plan
the
time
they
will
study
and
they
set
goals
for
what
will
be
achieved.
If
you
want
to
be
successful,
do
as
successful
people
do.
Set
a
plan
or
a
goal
and
stick
to
it,
which
will
create
a
routine
and
a
routine
is
the
first
step
towards
developing
a
habit.____3____
Front
up
to
the
toughest
work
first
Many
of
us
like
to
do
the
easy
things
first
to
build
our
confidence.
That's
fair
enough.
The
only
challenge
with
this
approach
is
that
you
use
up
your
primary
energy
at
the
start
of
any
study
period
and
so
if
you
are
dealing
with
the
easy
parts
with
your
primary
energy
your
batteries
will
be
low
when
it
comes
time
to
deal
with
the
hard
part.
So
what
happens
then？____4____We
all
do
it.
We
really
shouldn't,
though.
So
develop
the
habit
of
giving
your
primary
energy
to
the
hard
tasks
and
completing
the
easy
stuff
last.
5____
Do
we
really
have
to
explain
this
Just
turn
them
off
for
an
hour.
We
promise
the
world
will
still
be
there
when
you
log
back
in!
Don't
text
your
friends,
don't
chat
while
doing
memory
activities,
don't
make
phone
calls,
just
focus
on
what
you're
doing.
Even
if
you
focus
on
work
for
15
minutes
followed
by
5
minutes
of
chatting,
it's
better
than
30
minutes
of
work
while
also
chatting!
You
get
that
right
A．Top
students
don't
just
randomly
sit
down
and
complete
work.
B．Positive
habits
decide
future
success.
C．Taking
breaks
can
make
you

everywhere.
D．You
get
tired
and
impatient
and
just
give
up.
E．They
make
plans
ahead.
F．Instead,
take
regular
breaks.
G．Get
off
social

sites
and
turn
off
the

【解题导语】 文章主要讲的是优秀学生的一些好的学习习惯。
1．解析：选F。空格前的内容提及过度学习的弊端，空格后的内容提到休息可以使你再次精力充沛，头脑清醒。因此此空需填一个承上启下的句子。故F项符合语境。F项中的“take
regular
breaks”与空后的“Taking
breaks”相呼应。
2．解析：选A。根据本段的小标题“Plan
your
plan”和后文中的“They
actually
plan
what
they
are
going
to
do...set
goals
for
what
will
be
achieved”“Set
a
plan”可知，A项“最优秀的学生不会只是随意坐下来完成学习任务”符合语境。
3．解析：选B。空格前的内容提到要制订计划、设定目标并持之以恒，这将会形成一个惯例，而一个惯例就是养成一个习惯的第一步。因此B项承接上文，表示“积极的习惯决定未来的成功”。
4．解析：选D。空格前的内容提到我们大部分人喜欢先做容易的事情，这样当处理难的部分的时候我们的精力就会不足，那么接下来会发生什么呢？故D项承接上文，回答了上文中的疑问，指“你会变得疲惫和不耐烦，只能放弃”。
5．解析：选G。根据本段的内容尤其是下文中的“Just
turn
them
off
for
an
hour...Don't
text
your
friends，don't
chat
while
doing
memory
activities，don't
make
phone
calls，just
focus
on
what
you're
doing.”可知，G项“离开社交网站，关掉电话”作为本段小标题最佳。Unit

One
of
the
most

dictionaries
I
have
seen
among

is
the

All
you

__5__
a

you

__6__
it
in

great,
right？Well,
I
think
it's
great,
too...
but
only
sometimes.
Bilingual

are

can

I
am
against
electronic

and
even
bilingual
__10__
dictionaries
in
many
cases.
Let
me
explain.
When

you
know
__11__
of
the

You
should
be
translating
as
little
as
possible
and
__13__
in
English
as

I
strongly
recommend
that
intermediate
and
advanced
students
should
__14__
an

that
is
made
__15__
for

For
example，Foreign
Language
Teaching

Research
Press
has
good

for

and
__16__

do,
too.
I
also
feel
that
paper
dictionaries
are
better
for
studying
than
electronic

True,
they
take
longer
to

for
some
reason,
the

解析：选D。根据下文可知，这种会发声的电子词典很受学生欢迎。故选D项。
4．A.saying
B．talking
C．speaking
D．telling
解析：选C。根据下文可知，你输入一个你的母语词汇，这种电子词典就能用英语说出这个单词。此处强调机器发声的功能，所以用speaking。故选C项。
5．A.take
down
B．get
across
C．type
in
D．say
out
解析：选C。根据语境可知这里应该是输入某个词，然后听到英语单词读音。take
down意为“记下”；get
across意为“使理解”；type
in意为“输入”；say
out一般后接loud，意为“大声说出来”。根据语境选C项。
6．A.observe
B．feel
C．hear
D．say
解析：选C。根据上下文逻辑可知，你输入一个词，这种电子词典就能用英语说出这个单词，因此你可以在这个电子词典里看到单词并听到单词的英语发音。故选C项。
7．A.difficult
B．vital
C．helpful
D．easy
解析：选C。根据下文可知，在旅行或者紧急需要信息的时候，电子词典是非常有用的。因此，此处表示双语电子词典既快速又有用。difficult意为“困难的”；vital意为“至关重要的”；helpful意为“有帮助的”；easy意为“简单的”。根据语境选C项。
8．A.when
B．until
C．after
D．before
解析：选A。根据语境此处应该理解为“当你在旅行或紧急需要信息的时候，双语电子词典非常有用”。故选A项。
9．A.So
B．And
C．But
D．While
解析：选C。根据语境以及下文I
am
against
electronic
dictionaries可知，前面介绍了双语电子词典的优点，而下文作者反对使用电子词典，因此前后为转折关系。故选C项。
10．A.plastic
B．paper
C．electric
D．visual
解析：选B。根据下文提到的双语词典的弊端可知，作者反对使用电子词典和双语纸质词典。plastic意为“塑料的”；paper意为“纸质的”；electric意为“用电的；电动的”；visual意为“可视的”。根据语境选B项。
11．A.enough
B．little
C．most
D．few
解析：选A。根据句意可知，此处表示中等水平的英语学习者已经懂得足够的英语，在使用英语的过程中可以询问某些东西的意思。故选A项。
12．A.spends
B．pays
C．takes
D．invests
解析：选C。根据语境可知，在头脑中翻译语言是要花费时间的。spend的主语一般不能是物，而take作“花费”讲时，通常主语为物。故选C项。
13．A.writing
B．typing
C．thinking
D．reflecting
解析：选C。此处应理解为尽量少翻译，同时尽可能多地用英语思考问题。write意为“写”；type意为“打字”；think意为“思考”；reflect意为“反映”。根据语境选C项。
14．A.borrow
B．buy
C．keep
D．use
解析：选D。根据语境可知，这里应该是使用英英词典。故选D项。
15．A.especially
B．practically
C．generally
D．extremely
解析：选A。此处应该是对理解特别有帮助的词典。especially意为“尤其，特别”；practically意为“实用地”；generally意为“一般地”；extremely意为“非常”。根据语境选A项。
16．A.another
B．other
C．the
other
D．others
解析：选B。句意：例如，外语教学与研究出版社和其他出版社都出版适合学生的好词典。此处表泛指，用来修饰名词publishing
houses，所以用other。others为代词，后面不接名词。故选B项。
17．A.refer
to
B．check
in
C．look
up
D．put
in
解析：选C。根据语境此处表示“查阅”。refer
to
the
dictionary意为“查词典”；look
up
the
information
in
the
dictionary意为“在词典里查信息”。故选C项。
18．A.why
B．because
C．when
D．where
解析：选B。根据语境可知，这里说明推荐使用这种词典的原因。It
may
be
because
...表示“那可能是因为……”。故选B项。
19．A.mind
B．ears
C．eyes
D．mouth
解析：选A。根据上文的spell
the
word
in
your
head可推测后面应该是在脑海里形成单词清晰的词形，从而理解得更深。故选A项。
20．A.speak
B．stay
C．save
D．remember
解析：选B。根据上文提到用英语进行思维，所以此处用stay
in
English
as
much
as
possible表示“尽可能多地保持英语思维”。故选B项。
长难句分析：I
strongly
recommend
that
intermediate
and
advanced
students
should
use
an
English English
dictionary
that
is
made
especially
for
your
understanding.
句式分析：这是一个主从复合句。主句是I
strongly
recommend
...。第一个that引导宾语从句，作谓语动词recommend的宾语；第二个that引导定语从句，修饰先行词dictionary，引导词在从句中作主语。
句意：我强烈建议中、高级学生使用专门的，并侧重于理解的英英词典。

【语篇导读】 许多老师认为亲身的实践经验是学习的最好方法。美国的一组学生通过他们亲自设计出的一种新型机器人来证明这一说法的正确性。
1．best 句意：许多老师认为亲身的实践经验是学习的最好方法。设空处位于定冠词the后。所以应用best。
2．successfully 设空处位于谓语动词designed和built前，应用副词作状语。所以用successfully。
3．at at
the
bottom
of
...表示“在……的底部”。所以应用at。
4．to
answer 句意：制造这个机器人是为了回应美国国防部的一项挑战。所以用to
answer作目的状语。
5．called 设空处与谓语动词tested之间没有并列连词，根据句意，此处应用过去分词作后置定语，表示“被叫作”。所以用called。
6．its 由后面的movements可知，应用形容词性物主代词作定语。所以应用its。
7．enable 分析句子结构可知，主语是devices，为复数形式，设空处应为谓语，故应用动词enable，表示“使发生”。此处是一般性的描述。故应用一般现在时enable。
8．a a
set
of表示“一系列”，为固定搭配。所以填a。
9．to up
to表示“达到”，为固定搭配。所以填to。
10．beginning from
beginning
to
end表示“从头到尾”，为固定搭配。所以应用begin的名词形式beginning，注意双写字母n。
