【解题导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了四个夏令营的时间、收费标准、主要活动内容及联系方式等信息。
【难句分析】Pickering College has an exciting ESL summer camp for students aged 12-8 who want to learn English and experience the wonders of summer at our 42-acre campus;students enjoy the excellent dormitory,dining,academic,and social facilities of one of Canada's oldest independent schools.
分析:本句中aged 12-18作students的后置定语;who引导定语从句,修饰先行词students。dormitory, dining, academic和social facilities都作enjoy的宾语,of one of Canada's oldest independent schools作facilities的后置定语。
译文:Pickering学院有一个为(那些)想要学习英语和在学院42英亩的校区内感受夏天的奇观的12至18岁的学生们举办的令人兴奋的ESL夏令营,(参加的)学生们(可以)享受加拿大最古老的私立学校的一流食宿、学习和社交设施。

2.D 考查细节理解。综合四则信息可知,DEEP Summer Academy的时间长度是11天,与题干的the shortest camp相符合。所以D选项正确。
3.A 考查细节理解。根据第二则信息中的“provides the best of both canoe(独木舟)adventures and in-camp activities”可知,选项A与题干的“the experience of adventure”相符合。所以A选项正确。
4.C 考查推理判断。根据第一则信息中的“for students to help ensure their futures”和第四则信息中的“We provide highly motivated high school students from across the world with the opportunity for advanced study”可以推断二者都对学生的未来发展(development)有帮助。所以选项C正确。

1.Nowadays, cycling, along with jogging and swimming, ________(regard) as one of the best all-round forms of exercise.
答案:is regarded 当主语后面接由along with引起的短语时,谓语动词应和主语(cycling)保持一致;cycling与regard之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,且此处描述一般事实。
2.He was observed by officers ________(drive) at 90 miles per hour.
答案:driving observe在本句中意为“注意到,发现”,在句中构成observe sb. doing sth. 结构的被动式,用v.-ing表示动作正在进行。

【解题导语】两个大学生本想通过组织一场音乐会赚取学费,可是音乐会并不成功,但善良的受邀钢琴家的大方举动却给他们解了围。
1.C 根据设空后的He and a friend decided to host a musical concert...可知,他和朋友决定举办一场音乐会以筹集学费,这是他的想法(idea)。故选C项。
2.B 根据上文中的Not knowing where to turn for money可知,由于学费不够,他和朋友决定举办音乐会来筹集学费。receive意为“收到”;raise意为“筹集”;borrow意为“借”;donate意为“捐献”。故选B项。
3.A reach out to意为“表示对……感兴趣;表示愿意提供援助”;turn out意为“证明是;结果是”;point out意为“指出”;call out意为“大声呼叫;呼喊”。根据第二段可知,他们开音乐会要邀请著名的钢琴家,说明他们对这位钢琴家有兴趣。故选A项。
测训诊断:本题考生易误选B项。考生易把turn to“求助于”和turn out to“证明是;结果是”以及reach out to“表示对……感兴趣”混淆。
4.D 根据设空后的a guaranteed fee可知,钢琴家的经纪人要求(demanded)他们付2,000美元的保证金。故选D项。increase意为“增加”;cover意为“覆盖;遮蔽;包括;报道”;consider意为“考虑;细想;认为”。
5.B 根据设空后的began to work可知,他们之间达成了协议。strike a deal意为“达成协议”;reject意为“拒绝”;cancel意为“取消”;attract意为“吸引”。故选B项。

9.D 根据下文的They promised to honor the check at the ________ possible.可知,因为他们并没有筹到足够的钱,所以又写了400美元的支票作为欠款。故选D项。
10.A 他们承诺尽快(soonest)承兑支票,故选A项。
11.D 根据空前的Paderewski tore up the check及空后的told the two boys to keep the money they needed for the fees可知,钢琴家撕毁了支票,并且还把1,600美元还给了(returned)他们让他们当做学费。故选D项。
12.B 根据上文可知,他们本来是承诺了要给钢琴家2,000美元,但却没有筹够钱,而钢琴家又把钱还给了他们,因此,他们非常惊讶(surprised)而且非常感激。故选B项。pleased意为“高兴的;快乐的;满意的”;frightened意为“害怕的”;interested意为“感兴趣的”。
13.B 根据上文可知,钢琴家没有要保证金,而且把钱给了两个大学生充当学费,因此这是一个善举。devotion意为“献身;贡献”;kindness意为“善良”;sympathy意为“同情”;teamwork意为“团队合作”。故选B项。

17.D 根据语境可知,此处应指我们大多数,故选D项。
18.C 根据上句可知,大多数人是在想帮助别人对自己的影响,而伟大的人却想如果不帮助别人对他人有什么影响。great意为“伟大的”,符合语境。故选C项。
19.B 根据上文的“If I don't help them, what will happen to them?”可知,他们是在考虑别人,不求(expecting)回报。故选B项。
20.A 根据最后一段可知,伟大的人不求回报地去帮助别人,他们之所以这么做,是因为他们感觉这是正确的事情。因此,设空处表原因,引导原因状语从句。故选A项。
四、单句改错

五、七选五
When high temperatures are around the country,some things also go up.Here are four things expected to rise along with our desire to stay indoors and beat the heat.
1.Sales of goods that keep you cool
Malls are high on the list of places where people often go for free air conditioning outside home in summer.__1__ Goods related to keeping cool,like air conditioners,fans or sun care items,are very popular.
2.__2__
Pests like stink bugs(椿象)grow fast during summer heat waves,and many agriculture experts are expecting a repeat of last year's outbreak that harmed fruit and crops,particularly on the East Coast.
3.Energy bills
__3__ With all those air conditioners and fans working,it makes sense that energy bills will be higher than average.__4__ “Not only are people going to have extremely high energy bills for July,it will also put increased stress on power plants,and we're going to see more air pollution because of it,” says Angela Fritz.
4.Violence
Heat waves may cause violence,right? “Not necessarily,”says Richard Larrick,a researcher.He took a unique look at the relationship between violence and heat through baseball.Larrick and his research team examined 57,294 Major League Baseball games taking place between 1962 and 2017 and found that while heat may increase violence,there always has to be a motive.“__5__ Instead,heat affects a specific form of violence,” he said.
A.Air pollution
B.Pest population
C.Rising heat is the expected response in any summer.
D.Heat does not directly lead to more violence in general.
E.More and more people are worried about their expenses.
F.As more energy is used,air quality problems may occur.
G.So it's not a surprise that some sales jump during heat waves.
【解题导语】本文介绍了伴随高温天气会出现的一些事件。
1.G 空前一句提到购物中心是夏天人们外出经常去的地方之一,空后一句提到与制冷有关的商品,如空调、风扇等都很受欢迎,结合本段小标题可知,G项“因此一些(制冷商品的)销售量在酷暑期猛增就不足为奇了”与此处匹配。
2.B 根据空处所在位置可知,空处为本段小标题。根据空后的“Pests like stink bugs(椿象)grow fast during summer heat waves”可知,本段主要是说害虫的数量在酷暑期也会快速增长,故B项与此处匹配。
3.E 根据段落小标题Energy bills可知,本段和费用有关,空后又提到(电)风扇和空调的运行会使能源费用高于平均水平,故空处应讲人们对高温天气下使用这些电器的花费的担忧,所以E项符合语境。
4.F 上文提到能源费用增加,下文提到由此会造成更多的空气污染。由此可推知,F项“随着更多的能源被消耗,空气质量问题可能会出现”与此处匹配。
5.D 根据空后一句可知,高温影响一种特定形式的暴力,且由“Instead”可知,空处与下文呈转折关系,再结合上文的“Not necessarily”可知,D项“总的来说,高温不会直接导致更多的暴力”与此处匹配。
Working the land
一、阅读理解
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
He had more than 160 reports as a reporter on the Metro desk and more than 170 in 19 months as a national journalist based in Kansas City,Mo.But perhaps the most important piece of writing that A.G.Sulzberger did for The New York Times before Wednesday—when he was named deputy publisher—was not an article and was not published in The Times,but was all about The Times.
That work came to be known as the “innovation(创新)report”,which zeroed in on the importance of a digital future for the newspaper his family has owned since 1896 and said The Times risked losing its leading place if it did not make sweeping changes.
In a conversation in his office on Wednesday,Mr.Sulzberger said he saw the innovation report and the thinking that led to his conclusions as“a wake-up call to the newsroom that we were at risk of missing the moment”.
“It was always easy to see how changes will endanger the traditions of the place,”he said,“but what became really clear to me was not changing was the more dangerous course if we cared about the traditions of the place.”
Unlike some of the former deputy publishers in his role,Mr.Sulzberger has been more experienced in the newsroom than in advertising or consumer marketing.Still,his colleagues described him as a quick study whose modesty masked deep inner confidence.Besides,in the newsroom or out on an assignment,Mr.Sulzberger did not show off his connection to The Times' owners.“I recognized the name.”said Vincent Bova,a video editor who figured in a feature article that Mr.Sulzberger wrote in 2010.“I mean,I knew I was dealing with royalty.There was no reason for me to bring that up with him,and he didn't.”So Mr.Sulzberger,in some way,has qualified himself for the position since long time ago.
1.A.G.Sulzberger wrote the“innovation report”mainly to ________.
A.urge revolutions in The Times
B.gain the position of deputy publisher
C.promote changes in New York City
D.show directions to his family future
2.What is the biggest threat to traditional media according to Mr.Sulzberger?
A.Scientific developments.
B.Rapid social changes.
C.Their own stubbornness.
D.Decreasing readers.
3.How does the author show us what Mr.Sulzberger is like in the last paragraph?
A.By comparing him with others.
B.By interviewing him in person.
C.By giving examples of his routines.
D.By quoting comments from others.
4.What does the author think of Mr.Sulzberger according to the passage?
A.Casual. B.Objective.
C.Admirable. D.Critical.
【解题导语】本篇文章属于人物介绍类,介绍了著名出版人A.G.Sulzberger 对《纽约时报》的重要贡献,还介绍了他提出的“创新报道”理论以及他人对他的评价。
1.A 考查推理判断。根据第二段“That work came to be known as the ‘innovation(创新)report’ ,which zeroed in on the importance of a digital future...The Times risked losing its leading place if it did not make sweeping changes”可知,“创新报道”关注报纸数字化未来的重要性,《纽约时报》如果不改革,则将面临危机。据此可以判断,A.G.Sulzberger提及“创新报道”的目的是敦促《纽约时报》进行变革,故A项正确。
2.C 考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“and said The Times risked losing its leading place if it did not make sweeping changes”和文章中提到的“innovation report”可知,A.G.Sulzberger认为《纽约时报》如果不做出变革,则将面临危机;据此可以判断,A.G.Sulzberger认为传统媒体面临的最大的问题是它们固执己见,不思变革,故C项正确。
3.D 考查写作方法。通读最后一段可知,该段第二句介绍了同事对A.G.Sulzberger的评价,第四句和第五句介绍了视频编辑Vincent Bova对他的评价;据此可以判断,最后一段是通过别人的评价来描述A.G.Sulzberger的,故D项正确。
4.C 考查观点态度。通读全文可知, A.G.Sulzberger提出“创新报道”理论并前瞻性地认识到数字化时代对传统媒体的影响,意识到传统媒体变革的重要意义;据此可以判断,作者对A.G.Sulzberger的态度是钦佩的,故C项正确。
二、单句语法填空
1.(2017·江苏高考)________(determine) where we are in relation to our surroundings remains an essential skill for our survival.
答案:Determining 分析句子结构可知,应用动名词短语作主语,即本句中Determining where we are in relation to our surroundings作主语,remains是谓语动词。
2.The ________(produce) of coffee beans is a huge, profitable business.
答案:production 由设空前的“the”和后面的“of”可知,应填所给词的名词形式。production “生产;制造”。
3.Nowadays, children have more ________(free); they can do whatever they like.
答案:freedom freedom 名词“自由”,在本句中作宾语。
4.Cats can help rid the home ________mice.
答案:of rid ... of “使摆脱或除去……”。
5.A heavy fire reduced 90 percent of the houses ________ashes.
答案:to reduce ... to ... “使……沦为……”。
6.I bitterly ________(regret) that I had missed the wonderful film.
答案:regretted 所填词由bitterly(副词)修饰,且由从句中had missed可知,此处用动词的一般过去时。
7.It is ________(disturb) to think about so much work to do.
答案:disturbing disturbing “令人不安的”,在句中作表语。
8.The discovery of new evidence led to the thief's ________(catch).
答案:being caught 本句中,lead to后接名词或动名词(短语),且the thief和catch存在被动关系,故填being caught,即动名词的被动结构,作lead to的宾语。
9.I am not ________(satisfy) with the way he cut my hair.
答案:satisfied be satisfied with ... 为固定短语,意为“对……感到满意”。
10.Though he is young, he is struggling ________(support) a large family.
答案:to support struggle to do sth. “努力做某事”。
三、完形填空

16.D 结合下文I wish you could tell me you're ________ and I could tell you I love you.可知,作者希望父亲能够告诉他父亲是如何想的,作者也能告诉父亲作者爱他。由此可推测,此处指作者希望能够与父亲谈论他们对彼此意味着(mean)什么。故选D项。

She let me know the important of English.So I decided to learn English hardly.Although it was very difficult at first,but with the help of my teacher,I made rapidly progress.Just as the old saying goes,“Where there is a will,there is a way.”
【答案】
I still remember the first day I to this new school.Everything was new to me, made me realize I was no longer a small child.I had to depend on .Luckily,I made several good .Their interests were similar mine.I had great English teacher,Maggie.She let me know the of English.So I decided to learn English .Although it was very difficult at first, with the help of my teacher,I made progress.Just as the old saying goes,“Where there is a will,there is a way.”
第一处:come→came。考查时态。本句话叙述我第一次来到这所学校的情景,应该用一般过去时。
第二处:what→which。考查关系代词。分析句子结构可知,此处应用which引导非限制性定语从句,修饰前面的句子“Everything was new to me”。
第三处:me→myself。考查代词。句意:我不得不依靠我自己。当主语和宾语指的是同一个人的时候,宾语要用反身代词。
第四处:friend→friends。考查名词的数。由前面的several(几个)可知,此处应用名词的复数形式。
第五处:with→to。考查固定搭配。be similar to...意为“与……相似”,为固定搭配。
第六处:great前加a。考查冠词。句意:我有一位了不起的英语老师Maggie。此处表泛指,应用不定冠词。
第七处:important→importance。考查名词。句意:她让我认识到英语的重要性。由定冠词the可知,此处应用名词。
第八处:hardly→hard。考查副词。句意:因此我决定努力学习英语。hard意为“努力地”,hardly意为“几乎不”。根据句意可知,应用hard。
第九处:删除but。考查连词。although意为“尽管”,不与but连用,因此删除but。
第十处:rapidly→rapid。考查形容词。修饰名词应用形容词,因此将rapidly改为rapid。

一、阅读理解
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A new study by the British government has discovered the mental health of the country's teenage girls has become worse.
the survey,which included 30,000 14-year-old students in 2005 and 2014,showed 37 percent of girls with psychological stress,up from 34 percent in 2005.British boys' stress level was actually seen to fall over the same time period,from 17 percent to 15 percent.
The report's authors pointed out the“advent of the social media age”could be a major contributing factor for increased stress among teenage British girls.
“The adolescent years are a time of rapid physical,cognitive(认知的)and emotional development,”Pam Ramsden,a lecturer in psychology at the University of Bradford in the United Kingdom,wrote in a recent blog post.“Teenagers interact with people in order to learn how to become competent(有能力的)adults.In the past, they would engage with parents,teachers and other adults in their community as well as extended family members and friends.Now we can also add social media to that list of social and emotional development.”
Throughout adolescence,girls and boys develop characteristics like confidence and self-control.Since teenage brains have not completely developed,teens don't have the cognitive awareness and impulse(冲动)control to keep from posting inappropriate content.Furthermore,this content can easily be spread far and wide with disastrous influences.
Social media can also feed into girls' insecurities about their appearance,Ramsden said.These sites are often filled with images of people with body type unattainable to the normal person.However,these images and the messages tied to them gradually become societal standards.
1.The statistics in the second paragraph show that ________.
A.more and more children in Britain have mental health problems
B.few girls in Britain suffered from psychological stress in 2005
C.more boys in Britain are suffering from mental pressure now
D.more British girls feel psychologically stressed than boys do now
2.Contrary to traditional ways of interaction,social media ________.
A.helps teenagers develop qualities like confidence and self-control
B.has many negative effects on girls' characteristic development
C.makes teens aware of potential danger of the inappropriate content
D.teaches girls to care about their appearance to meet societal standards
3.The underlined word“advent”in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by“________”.
A.arrival B.end
C.disappearance D.invention
【解题导语】一项新研究发现,英国少女的心理健康状况变得更糟;分析表明,社交媒体时代的到来可能是造成英国少女心理压力加大的主要因素。
【难句分析】The report's authors pointed out the“advent of the social media age”could be a major contributing factor for increased stress among teenage British girls.
分析:该句为主从复合句,句中the“advent of the social media age”could be a major contributing factor for increased stress among teenage British girls为省略了that的宾语从句,作动词短语pointed out 的宾语。
译文:报告的作者指出,“社交媒体时代的到来”可能是造成英国少女心理压力增加的主要因素。
1.D 考查推理判断。根据第二段的第一句可知,调查显示,2014年37%的英国少女有心理压力,而2005年只有34%;根据第二段的第二句可知,同期调查显示,英国少年有心理压力的从2005年的17%降到2014年的15%。据此可以判断,英国少女有心理压力的比少年多,故D项正确。
2.B 考查细节理解。根据第五段的最后一句“Furthermore,this content can easily be spread far and wide with disastrous influences”和最后一段第一句的“Social media can also feed into girls' insecurities about their appearance”可知,由于青少年的思想还不成熟,自控能力有限,社交媒体对英国少女的心理健康和她们对外表美丑的判断产生了消极的影响。故B项正确。
3.A 考查词义猜测。结合该段内容和下文关于传统交流方式和社交媒体的比较可知,报告的作者指出,“社交媒体时代的到来”可能是造成英国少女心理压力增加的主要因素。据此可知,画线词意为“到来”,故A项正确。
二、单句语法填空
1.(2017·北京高考)The national park has a large collection of wildlife,________ (range) from butterflies to elephants.
答案:ranging a large collection of wildlife与range之间是主动关系,故用动词-ing形式作后置定语。
2.Shopping is no longer just a necessity; it has become a form of ________(entertain).
答案:entertainment 介词of后接名词,故填entertainment “娱乐;娱乐活动”。
3.The news said that the schools in that southwestern area are ________(bad) off for teaching equipment, and even teachers.
答案:badly be badly off for sth.“缺乏某物”。
4.To everyone's ________(astonish), he has won the game.
答案:astonishment to one's astonishment “使某人吃惊的是”。
5.The villager doesn't want more money—he is content ________what he has.

答案:is convinced be convinced that ... “确信;相信”。
7.They were ________(wear) out after working in the fields the whole day long.
答案:worn be worn out “筋疲力尽的”。
8.Up to now, I ________(read) as far as the fifth chapter, the second volume of The War and Peace.
答案:have read up to now “直到现在”,常与现在完成时连用。
9.The number of senior high school students is increasing, ________is mentioned above.
答案:as 本句中,as引导非限制性定语从句。as is mentioned above “正如上边所提到的”。
10.The season runs June through August, with additional ________(perform) in March and September.
答案:performances 形容词additional后应接名词,performance在本句中意为“表演”,是可数名词,由空后的介词短语可知表示多场表演,故填performances。

●Rest time.
If your pet seems stressed,have a safe place for him away from activity.Cats should have a quiet,cozy spot to sleep with food,water,and their litter box.__3__ Be sure to have a soft area for sleep,a toy or two,water,and some food.But you might need a nap,too,to refresh for holiday festivities.So use this time to take one together.
●__4__

●Go have a catch.
Give your pup a good run and wear him out ahead of when company visits.__5__ This way,he'll be happy and relaxed when greeting guests.Dog parks are ideal as pups can run,chase tennis balls,and socialize with others.Always remember to walk to and from the park with your pup on a leash and poop bags in hand.

难句分析:Your pet will just love being with you outdoors while you share one of the season's most honored traditions—picking out the perfect tree.(倒数第二段第二句)
译文:当你与你的宠物分享这个节日中最神圣的传统活动——挑选圣诞树时,它是非常乐意与你外出的。
1.D 根据空格前面“The decorating,the shopping, the cooking, the cleaning,the wrapping...”可知,我们通常在假期会把时间花在装饰、购物、烹饪、打扫等事情上,D项表示“但我们把宠物置于何地?”与上文衔接紧凑,符合语境。故选D项。
2.F 根据上句“In the season's craziness, our furry family members tend to get ignored or over-stimulated(过度刺激的).”可知,此处应选F项,指“这样的话,宠物可能休息不好或焦虑”,与上句构成因果关系,符合语境。故选F项。

一、阅读理解。
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A new study has found the amount of antibiotics(抗生素)given to farm animals is expected to increase by two-thirds over the next 15 years.Researchers are linking the growing dependence on the drugs to the increasing need for meat,milk and eggs.However,the drugs could quicken the development of antibiotic-resistant infections(感染).Such infections are already a major public health concern in the United States.
The World Health Organization(WHO)notes when people stop living in poverty(贫困),the first thing they want to do is eat better,rather than earn more money.For most people,that means their diet should contain more meat.With the rapid development of Asia,people there are eating nearly four times as much meat,milk and other milk products as they did 50 years ago.
To meet the need,farmers have put many animals into smaller spaces.As the animals are crowded together,the easiest way to deal with some of the problems of crowding is to give them antibiotics.It's clear that antibiotics help animals stay healthy in crowded environments and grow faster.But bacteria can develop resistance to the drugs gradually.
Nowadays,doctors find antibiotics that once worked against the infections no longer work.The bacteria have learned ways to fight against the drugs.The heavy use of antibiotics in farm animals is responsible for the growth of antibiotic resistance worldwide.Each year in the United States,at least two million people get antibiotic-resistant infections and at least 23,000 die from these infections.
Europe has banned the use of antibiotics to increase animal growth.And the United States is hoping to persuade farmers to stop using antibiotics for that purpose.
1.What accounts for the increasing amount of antibiotics given to farm animals?
A.The desire for new drugs.
B.The less effective antibiotics.
C.The outdated farm technology.
D.The need for more various foods.
2.What do most people want to do first when they get rid of poverty according to the WHO?
A.Making a lot of money.
B.Focusing more on health.
C.Having more meat in their diet.
D.Living in a better environment.
3.What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Antibiotics do harm to animals.
B.Antibiotics help animals stay healthy.
C.Antibiotics are used heavily in Europe.
D.Antibiotic-resistant bacteria spread to people.
4.What's the passage mainly about?
A.The negative effect of antibiotics on farm animals.
B.The advantages of using antibiotics.
C.The reason for banning the use of antibiotics.
D.A new way of raising farm animals.
【解题导语】本文主要围绕在农场动物身上使用抗生素的负面影响展开。
【难句分析】The World Health Organization(WHO) notes when people stop living in poverty(贫困),the first thing they want to do is eat better, rather than earn more money.
分析:本句为复合句。notes后接省略了连接词that的宾语从句;该宾语从句中含有when引导的时间状语从句when people stop living in poverty;they want to do 为省略了关系词that的定语从句,修饰the first thing; rather than连接的并列结构在宾语从句中作表语。
译文:世界卫生组织指出,当人们摆脱贫穷之后,他们想做的第一件事情就是吃得好点,而不是挣更多的钱。
1.D 考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“Researchers are linking the growing dependence on the drugs to the increasing need for meat,milk and eggs”可知,研究人员认为用于农场动物身上的抗生素的数量增加与人们对各种不同的食物的需求增加有关,故选D项。
2.C 考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“The World Health Organization (WHO) notes when people stop living in poverty(贫困),the first thing they want to do is eat better,rather than earn more money.For most people,that means their diet should contain more meat”可知,C项正确。
3.D 考查推理判断。结合第四段中的“Each year in the United States,at least two million people get antibiotic-resistant infections and at least 23,000 die from these infections”可推知,抗生素耐药细菌传播到了人身上,故选D。由第三段中的“It's clear that antibiotics help animals stay healthy in crowded environments and grow faster”可知,A项表述有误,可排除;由最后一段中的“Europe has banned the use of antibiotics to increase animal growth”可知C项表述错误,可排除;B项最具干扰性,因为B项本身是正确的,但是B项是文中的明确信息,不需要推断得出,而题干所要求的选项需要经过推理判断得来,所以B项不符合题意。诸如B项这类本身正确,但不满足题干要求的选项是考生做题时需要特别留意的。
4.A 考查主旨大意。结合文章内容可以看出,本文主要说的是在农场动物身上使用抗生素的负面影响,故选A项。
二、单句语法填空
1.(2017·天津高考)The hospital has recently obtained new medical equipment, ________(allow) more patients to be treated.

【解题导语】本文主要讲述了孩子们同时做多项任务对学业所造成的负面影响。
1.D 根据下文中的“The reality is that multi-tasking __6__ poor job performance”可推知,一次做很多事情并没有什么效果,work“奏效,起作用”。
2.B 根据语境可知,空处上下句之间存在逻辑上的转折关系,even though“即使,尽管”,符合语境。
3.A 根据下文中的“Many people believe that they can __4__ two or more tasks at the same time”可知,孩子们会声称能同时做十件事情。at once“一起,同时”。
4.C 根据语境可知,许多人相信他们可以同时做两件或是更多事情。perform“做,执行,履行”。
5.A 根据下文中的“poor job performance”可知,Dr. Edward Hallowell认为同时做多个任务是不可能的。故A项正确。
6.A 根据语境尤其是“poor job performance”可推知,同时做多项任务的结果很不好。result in“导致,造成”。
7.C 根据空后的“smartphones, iPads”可知,此处表示新的便携式装备,故C项正确。下文13空后的“hand-held devices”也是信息提示。
8.D 根据下文中的“leading to difficulty focusing on the task”可推知,多任务容易分散注意力。share“共享,共用”。
9.A 根据空后的“such as listening in the classroom or doing homework”可知,这些都是手头要做的事。at hand“在手边”。
10.B 根据第一段最后两句可知,Dr. Edward Hallowell并不赞成多任务行为,因此当大脑给这种行为以肯定或鼓励时,他认为是不幸的。
11.B 根据空后的“even though”可知,空处与worse形成对比,由此可推知大脑反而鼓励这种多任务行为。reward“奖赏,报答”。
12.D 根据上文中的“gets worse and worse”和空后的“because they feel better when they multitask”可知,孩子们并不知道自己变得更糟糕。
13.A 结合空后现在完成时的运用可知,此处应用连词since“自从……之后”引导状语从句。
14.D 根据上文的“teachers”可推知,老师们注意到学生们在学业上的差异。academic“学术的”。
15.B 根据下文中的“Multitasking prevents people from gaining a deep understanding of the information they are trying to learn”可知,这些便携式工具的出现改变了学生处理信息的方式。process“处理”。
16.A 根据空前的“Kids have a difficult time sticking with a ‘difficult to understand’ topic”可知,孩子们很难坚持一个理解起来有困难的话题,他们的注意力往往会分散。tend to do sth.“往往会做某事”。
17.D 根据语境可知,既然注意力分散了,孩子们就有可能转而关注学习之外的东西。switch over to“转向”。
18.B 根据语境可知,孩子们去玩手机或Facebook,而不是更努力地学习。rather than“而不是”。
19.A in the long run为固定短语,意为“从长远来看”,符合语境。
20.C 根据空后的“resulting in lower grades”可知,在课堂上上网的孩子考试成绩差。
四、单句改错
1.As Teachers' Day approaching, our class decided to hold a party to celebrate the important day for a change this year.
_____________________________________________________
答案:As→With或approaching前加was With Teachers' Day approaching和As Teachers' Day was approaching都表示“随着教师节的临近”。前者,with是介词,构成with的复合结构;后者,as是连词,连接句子。
2.His mind was with ease and he felt confident in the future.
_____________________________________________________
答案:with→at at ease “不拘束,放松”符合句意。
3.At the airport, he kissed me goodbye on my cheek.
_____________________________________________________
答案:my→the 表示触碰别人身上某部位时,常用“动词+sb.+介词+the+身体部位”。所涉及的动词有hit, pat, tap, beat, strike等。
4.General speaking, the number of the people who drive after drinking is smaller and smaller.
_____________________________________________________
答案:General→Generally generally speaking “一般来说”,与in general意义相近。
5.There must have been some misunderstand. I did not order all these books.
_____________________________________________________
答案:misunderstand→misunderstanding some后应接名词,故改为misunderstanding,意为“误解;误会”。
五、短文改错
(2017·石家庄市教学质量检测一)
Recently,a famous basketball player has caused public angry by writing on the Great Wall.In the fact,this happens in many place of interest. I had some suggestions to solve this problem.
First,make more posters to inform the public the damage of graffiti (涂鸦).Besides,punishments,such as a fine,is necessary to tourists with so bad behavior. Also,I think it's helpfully to put up some boards along the tourist attractions that tourists can leave messages.
I'm sure with our efforts,more and more people will become concerning about protecting cultural relics.
【答案】
Recently,a famous basketball player has caused public by writing on the Great Wall.In fact,this happens in many of interest.I some suggestions to solve this problem.
First,make more posters to inform the public the damage of graffiti (涂鸦).Besides,punishments,such as a fine, necessary to tourists with bad behavior. Also,I think it's to put up some boards along the tourist attractions tourists can leave messages.
I'm sure with our efforts,more and more people will become about protecting cultural relics.
第一处:angry→anger。考查名词。形容词public修饰名词,故用名词形式。
第二处:删除fact前的the。考查固定搭配。in fact为固定搭配,意为“事实上”,the多余。
第三处:place→places。考查名词的数。根据该句中的many可知,名词place应当用复数形式。
第四处:had→have。考查时态。根据上下文可知,该句陈述的是目前的情况,故用一般现在时。
第五处:public后加of/about。考查介词。inform sb.of/about sth.为固定搭配,表示“通知某人某事”。
第六处:is→are。考查主谓一致。该句主语为复数名词punishments,故系动词用复数形式are。
第七处:so→such。考查限定词。该句中behavior为不可数名词,只能用such修饰。so用于“so+adj.+a/an+可数名词”结构。
第八处:helpfully→helpful。考查形容词。is为系动词,后接形容词作表语。
第九处:that→where。考查定语从句的关系词。分析该句结构可知,该句为定语从句,先行词为boards,关系词在从句中作地点状语,故用where引导该定语从句。
第十处:concerning→concerned。考查固定搭配。be/become concerned about为固定短语,意为“关注……”。

一、阅读理解
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
With more sunshine than Portland or Eugene,nature on the doorstep and great craft beer and coffee,Bend may just be the perfect small US city deserving a visit.And the following will offer you an enjoyable experience of staying.
The Oxford Hotel
The 59-room, seven-storey hotel became the tallest building in downtown Bend when opened in 2010.It has smart,large rooms in natural tones,fine dining at its restaurant,regular jazz concerts,and a commitment to using natural products where possible and running on 100% renewable energy.
The McMenamins Old St.Francis School
McMenamins hotels are famed for their conversions(改建的房屋),so it's no surprise to find this former Catholic schoolhouse,dating from 1936,is now an affordable hotel,restaurant,music venue and cinema.The classrooms are now 19 guest rooms,each named after former teachers.
My Place Hotel-Bend,OR
In the historic district,this 63-room smoke-free hotel places you within a relaxing walk of Old Mill District and Les Schwab Amphitheater.It welcomes guests with conveniences like free in-room Wi-Fi,laundry facilities,and a 24-hour business center.Limited housekeeping and free parking are also available.
The Mill Inn Bed and Breakfast
Bend has several chain hotels,motels and self-catering suites,but it doesn't have many B&Bs,which makes Mill Inn a delightful discovery.The 10-room,wooden hotel is a 10-minute walk from downtown,and serves healthy and hearty breakfasts of freshly made frittatas,granola,fruit,yoghurt,and fry-ups of local bacon and sausages.
1.What can we infer about the Oxford Hotel?
A.Its rooms are relatively small.
B.It is environmentally friendly.
C.It is within walking distance of downtown.
D.It is the tallest building in downtown Bend.
2.How is the McMenamins Old St.Francis School special?
A.It provides affordable breakfasts.
B.It is located in a historic district.
C.Its rooms were built in honor of teachers.
D.It has its roots in an ancient school building.
3.In which column of a website are you likely to find this article?
A.Travel. B.Lifestyle.
C.Fashion. D.Culture.
【解题导语】本文是一篇应用文,介绍了在Bend旅游时可以选择的四个宾馆。
【难句分析】McMenamins hotels are famed for their conversions (改建的房屋),so it's no surprise to find this former Catholic schoolhouse,dating from 1936,is now an affordable hotel,restaurant,music venue and cinema.
分析:本句为so连接的并列句,在第二个分句中,it是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式短语to find this former Catholic schoolhouse...music venue and cinema;find后跟了一个省略了引导词that的宾语从句;dating from 1936是现在分词作后置定语。
译文:McMenamins宾馆以其改建的房屋而出名,所以,这个前身为1936年的天主教校舍,如今成了人们可负担得起的宾馆、餐馆、音乐会场和电影院,这是不足为奇的。
1.B 考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“...and a commitment to using natural products where possible and running on 100% renewable energy”可知,该宾馆尽可能地使用天然产品和可再生能源,因此它是环保的。故选B。D项极具干扰性,但是根据“The 59-room,seven-storey hotel became the tallest building in downtown Bend when opened in 2010”只能得出它在2010年开张时是Bend市中心的最高建筑,而不能得出该宾馆现在还是Bend市中心的最高建筑。
2.D 考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“McMenamins hotels are famed for their conversions(改建的房屋),so it's no surprise to find this former Catholic schoolhouse,dating from 1936,is now an affordable hotel,restaurant,music venue and cinema”可知,该宾馆是由学校改建而成的,故选D。本题考生易误选C项。但根据第三段中的“The classrooms are now 19 guest rooms,each named after former teachers”可知,宾馆的客房是以之前的学校老师的名字命名的,但由此并不能得出该宾馆的客房是为了纪念之前的老师而修建的这一结论,故可排除C项。
3.A 考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“Bend may just be the perfect small US city deserving a visit.And the following will offer you an enjoyable experience of staying”和下文对各个宾馆的介绍可知,本文旨在为到Bend旅游的人提供可住宿宾馆建议,应属于旅游专栏。故选A。
二、单句语法填空
1.The hotel offers its guests a wide variety of __________(amuse).
答案:amusements 此处表述各种各样的 “娱乐活动”,故需填入所给词的名词形式,且作此义讲时,多用复数。
2.Mary often does some ________(translate) work to earn extra money, which accounts for half of her income.
答案:translation 此处应用名词作定语修饰work,说明工作的内容。do some translation work “做一些翻译工作”。
3.Venice is one of the great tourist ________(attract) of the world.
答案:attractions tourist attraction “旅游景点”;由one of可知此处应用复数形式。
4.My grandfather, who is famous ________his kindness, helped the Smiths out of trouble.
答案:for be famous for ... “因……而出名”。
5.Food ________(preserve) in the refrigerator won't go bad easily.
答案:preserved 句中已有谓语动词,故所给动词应用非谓语形式作定语修饰其前的名词,且两者为被动关系,故用过去分词。
6.________(deed) are better than words when people are in need of help.
答案:Deeds 由空后are可知主语应用名词复数,deed “行动”。
7.The Silk Road has a ________(long) of more than 4,000 kilometers and a history of 2,000 years.
答案:length 由冠词a可知应填名词,length “长度”。
8.This painting represents the first ________(settle) arriving in America.
答案:settlers 由设空前的“the first”和空后的“arriving”可知此处指“定居者”,且不止一人,故填settlers。
9.His silence seems to be an ________(admit) of guilt.
答案:admission 此处表示“承认有罪”,且冠词an后应接名词;admission 名词,意为“允许进入;入场费;承认”。
10.This kind of dance ________(model) after the one of that famous dancing actress'.
答案:is modelled be modelled after ... “根据……模仿”。

【解题导语】作者用诙谐的语气质问Wi-Fi,这呈现了现代人的一种通病,那就是对无线网络的依赖。
1.C 根据语境可知,虽然(Though)作者知道Wi-Fi帮助了自己,但是正是Wi-Fi的特殊作用让作者在做事情的时候会分心。
2.D 参见上题解析。
3.A 根据语境可知,作者很多次都对自己承诺说要抑制(keep in)自己对Wi-Fi的情感。bring back“使回忆起,使想起”;approve of“同意,赞成”;give up“放弃”。
4.A 根据语境可知,此处形象生动地表现了作者不能抗拒Wi-Fi对自己的吸引。draw“吸引”符合语境。force“强迫,迫使”;observe“观察”。
5.B Wi-Fi进入了作者的家和灵魂中。下文中的“holds our mind”是关键提示。
6.A Wi-Fi(本来)只是我们娱乐(entertainment)和获取信息的窗口。argument“争论”;expansion“扩张”;struggle“斗争,奋斗”。
7.B 根据上文的“You're just a window for our... information”以及“But”所表示的转折关系可知,此处表示人们并不满足于(satisfied)Wi-Fi仅仅是个“窗口(window)”。 strict“严格的”;generous“慷慨的”。
8.D 此处表示人们将Wi-Fi的作用扩大化,不仅仅满足于其作为窗口的作用,而是将所有的“门(doors)”打开迎接Wi-Fi。某种程度上而言,door是window的“升级版”。
9.A 结合下文中的“an illness”可知,作者疑惑的是自己和其他人对Wi-Fi如此依赖的现象是否是一种病(disease)。inspiration“灵感”;routine“惯例”;phenomenon“现象”。
10.C 如果对Wi-Fi的情感是一种依赖的话,Wi-Fi能保证与作者一生都亲密无间吗?commit意为“保证(做某事、遵守协议或遵从安排等),承诺”,符合语境。recommend“推荐”;instruct“教导”;adapt“适应”。
11.B Wi-Fi不能给自己放几天假以便它和作者都能放松(relax)一下吗?persist“坚持”;progress“发展、(使)进步”;balance“平衡”。
12.D 根据本句中的“not a slow one”可知,Wi-Fi并不是慢性毒药,而是快速起效的毒药,故用fast与slow形成对比。raw“不熟练的”;ambiguous“含糊不清的”。
13.A Wi-Fi是一种能控制人们的思想并使人们随着它的音调起舞的毒药。dance to表示“随着……跳舞”。
14.A 根据下文中的“anyone can buy”可知,如今Wi-Fi的价格是如此低廉以至于任何人都能买到,并使其成为人们的伴侣。affordable“支付得起的,不算太贵的”;valuable“有价值的”;conventional“传统的”;attractive“有吸引力的”。
15.C 参见上题解析。下文中的“Because you accompany us everywhere and never let us be alone”亦是提示。addition“加,添加”;companion“伴侣,伙伴”;instrument“工具”。
16.B 毫无生命的Wi-Fi是决不会在意其用户的健康的,但是用户们会一直担心Wi-Fi的“健康”,此处用always与上文的“never”形成对比,强调人们对Wi-Fi的在意程度。
17.D 根据下文中的“person made of flesh and blood(血肉之躯)”可知,作者想知道如果Wi-Fi成为拥有血肉之躯的真实的人,人们是否会一样喜欢它。selfish“自私的”;dishonest“不诚实的”;responsible“负责任的”。
18.A 根据上文作者介绍的人们对Wi-Fi的依赖及下文中的“we even can't get rid of you”可知,人们离开了Wi-Fi简直无法生活下去,而本句中的“with your numerous talents”正是Wi-Fi控制人们的方式。control“控制”;scold“责备”;comfort“安慰”;challenge“挑战”。
19.B 根据语境可知,Wi-Fi控制了人们,也就是说人们成了被其掌控的奴隶(slaves)。colleague“同事”;employer“雇主”。
20.C 根据语境尤其是本句中的“in the previous generations”可知,作者非常疑惑的是在早期没有Wi-Fi的时候人们是如何存活(survived)下来的。suffer“受苦”;connect“联系”;surf“冲浪”。
四、单句改错
1.Once the children heard that their teacher came to himself, the whole class came to lives at once.
_____________________________________________________
答案:lives→life come to life “活跃起来”。
2.He is diligent. There is no wonder he has been admitted to Beijing University.
_____________________________________________________
答案:There→It 固定句型。It is no wonder (that) ... “难怪……”,It is可省略,直接用no wonder。
3.You will need to buy tickets for the concert in the advance, because the band is very popular.
_____________________________________________________
答案:去掉advance前的the 固定短语。in advance “提前”。
4.By doing so, not only I share good ideas with others but I also learn to express myself clearly.
_____________________________________________________
答案:only后加can 当not only在句首时,句子应使用部分倒装,即not only后需使用相应的be动词/助动词/情态动词。结合句意,此处表述我不仅能够与他人分享好的想法,而且也学会了清晰地表达自我,可知应在only后加can。
5.Your dream will be come true sooner or later as long as you do your best.
_____________________________________________________
答案:去掉be come true意为“实现”,是不及物动词词组,不用于被动语态。
五、短文改错
It is clear shown that many middle school students have physical and mental problems.68% of the students surveying have studying anxiety as well as poor eyesight too.And a larger percentage lacks sleep. 52% are short of physical exercise.42% of the students won't obey our parents or teachers.Personally,I think we student should balance our physical exercise and studies.Without sound body,one can't achieve anything.However,too much attention has been paid only on studies.As a result,I suggest we are given less homework or more time for out-of-classroom activities.Only in this way can we live a happy and healthy life.
【答案】
It is shown that many middle school students have physical and mental problems.68% of the students have studying anxiety as well as poor eyesight .And a larger percentage sleep. 52% are short of physical exercise.42% of the students won't obey parents or teachers.Personally,I think we should balance our physical exercise and studies.Without sound body,one can't achieve anything.However,too much attention has been paid only studies.As a result,I suggest we given less homework more time for out-of-classroom activities.Only in this way can we live a happy and healthy life.
第一处:clear→clearly。考查副词。此处修饰过去分词shown,要用副词clearly“清晰地”。
第二处:surveying→surveyed。考查非谓语动词。本句中的谓语动词是have,故students后应是分词作后置定语,survey与所修饰的students构成被动关系,所以用过去分词。
第三处:去掉too。考查行文逻辑。句中已经有as well as表示“也”了,故句尾的too是多余的。
第四处:lacks→lack。考查主谓一致。percentage作主语时,谓语与它所修饰的名词或指代的名词一致。此处指学生,所以谓语动词用复数。
第五处:our→their。考查代词。42%的学生不听他们父母和老师的话。主语是42%of the students,是第三人称,故此处形容词性物主代词用their。
第六处:student→students。考查名词单复数。we后面的名词是其同位语,所以用student的复数形式与we一致。
第七处:Without后加a。考查冠词。body是可数名词,且此处泛指一个好的身体,故加冠词a。
第八处:on→to。考查介词。pay attention to“注意……”是固定搭配,此处用的是该短语的被动形式。
第九处:are→be。虚拟语气。suggest在此处表示“建议”,因此后跟的宾语从句应用虚拟语气,即从句谓语用“should+do”形式,且should可以省略。故此处应把are改为be。
第十处:or→and。考查连词。我建议我们应该少布置点作业,多些时间进行课外活动。本句是肯定句,此处不表示选择意义,而指的是并列的两个名词,表示“及”,应用and。
