一、阅读理解。
Two years ago，Dimas Aliprandi and Elton Plaster didn't know of each other's existence.Then they learned they had been switched at birth by mistake more than 20 years ago.The discovery didn't bring bitterness.Rather，it led to the creation of a bigger family.
The chain of events started with Dimas，who was always wondering why he did not look like the four sisters he grew up with.He was 14 when his doubts grew after watching a TV news report on babies getting switched at birth because of mistakes at hospitals.He wanted to do a DNA test，but it was too expensive for the family.
A decade later，Dimas did it on his own.The DNA test showed that he was not the birth son of the man and woman who had raised him.The news was a shock for his parents.They at first refused to believe the results，but eventually decided to help him look for his biological parents.
The search began at the Madre Regina Protmann Hospital where records were checked.The hospital searched its records and found Elton Plaster was born there on the same day.
The records led Dimas to the 35-acre farm where Plaster lived with his parents，Nilza and Adelson，in the town of Santa Maria de Jetiba，about 30 miles from the Aliprandi home in Joao Neiva.After tests，the Plasters discovered that Elton was the biological son of the man and woman that Dimas had been calling Mom and Dad for 24 years.Meanwhile，the couple Elton had always regarded as his biological parents were Dimas' parents.
About a year ago，Aliprandi and the parents who raised him accepted an offer from the Plasters to move to their farm，where they built a home.“This is the way it should be，” Adelson Plaster recently told Globo TV.“We are all together and I now have two sons living and working here.”
1．Who was the first to discover the baby switch?
A．Elton Plaster. B．Dimas Aliprandi.
C．Globo TV. D．The hospital.
2．Where do the Aliprandis now live?
A．In Sao Pauo.
B．In Joao Neiva.
C．In Madre Regina Protmann.
D．In Santa Maria de Jetiba.
3．What did the Aliprandis do when they knew about the baby switch?
A．They took another DNA test.
B．They switched the hospital's records.
C．They helped Dimas find his birth parents.
D．They went to Globo TV for more information.
4．Who are Elton Plaster's biological parents?

C．Dimas and Elton.
D．Nilza and Adelson.
【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。两个名叫Dimas Aliprandi和Elton Plaster的同龄人由于出生时在医院被抱错，互换了父母和家庭，但这个错误反而促成了一个新的大家庭的诞生。
长难句分析：About a year ago, Aliprandi and the parents who raised him accepted an offer from the Plasters to move to their farm, where they built a home.(最后一段第一句)
分析：本句是复合句。who引导定语从句，指代先行词the parents；where引导非限制性定语从句，指代先行词“farm”。
译文：大约一年以前，Aliprandi和他的养父母接受了Plaster一家的提议，搬到了他们的农场，在那里他们组建了新家。
词汇积累：existence n．存在 switch v．调换，转变 eventually adv.终于，最终 biological adj.生物学的，有血亲关系的
1．B 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The chain of events started with Dimas...he grew up with.”并联系下文内容可知，Dimas觉得自己和一同长大的四个姐妹长得不像，于是在长大后做了DNA鉴定，所以是他首先发现自己被抱错了。故选B。
2．D 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句中的“About a year ago，Aliprandi and the parents who raised him accepted an offer from the Plasters to move to their farm”并结合下一句可知，Dimas Aliprandi和他的父母现在同Plaster一家住在一起；再联系倒数第二段第一句中的“where Plaster lived with his parents，Nilza and Adelson，in the town of Santa Maria de Jetiba”可知，Plaster一家住在Santa Maria de Jetiba；由此可知，Dimas Aliprandi和父母现在住在Santa Maria de Jetiba。故选D。
3．C 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“They at first refused to believe the results，but eventually decided to help him look for his biological parents.”可知，Dimas的父母最初拒绝相信这样的结果，但是最后决定帮助他寻找亲生父母。故选C。
4．A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句“After tests，the Plasters discovered that Elton was the biological son of the man and woman that Dimas had been calling Mom and Dad for 24 years.”可知，Elton Plaster的亲生父母是Dimas的养父母，即Aliprandi夫妇。故选A。

答案：adopted/should adopt It is time that sb. did/should do sth. “到某人该做某事的时候了”。

答案：possessions possession “所有物；财产”，常用复数形式。
4．We aim ________ finish the task by Friday.
答案：to aim to do sth. 为固定短语，意为“力求做某事”。

五、七选五
(2017～2018·第一学期福州市联考)
Having a learning disability doesn't mean you can't learn.Learning disabilities happen because of the way a person's brain takes in and processes information.__1__ The trick will be figuring out how you learn best.
Learning disabilities aren't contagious(接触传染的)，but they can be genetic.That means they can be passed down in families through the genes，like many other traits we get from our parents and grandparents.Someone with a learning disability probably has other family members who have some learning troubles，too.Kids with learning problems are sometimes surprised to find out that one of their parents had similar troubles when he or she was in school.__2__
Learning experts now know a lot more about the brain and how learning works.
It's very hard for a kid to know if he has a learning disability.But kids don't have to figure all this out on their own.__3__ Start with his teacher and his mom or dad.
Finding out you have a learning disability can be upsetting.__4__ But the truth is that learning disabilities are pretty common.And if your learning specialist or psychologist has figured out which one you're facing，you're on the right track.Now，you can start getting the help you need to do better in school.
To make this special help really work，you'll need to practise the new skills you're learning.It may take a lot of efforts every day.__5__ Soon，you'll enjoy the results of all your hard work：More fun and success at school!
A．But you'll need some help and you'll need to work extra hard.
B．What a kid needs to do is to tell someone.
C．There are people who know how to do just that.
D．You might feel different from everyone else.
E．But kids today have an advantage over their parents.
F．As a result，some people learn differently.
G．That can be a challenge，but you can do it.
【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了学习障碍的形成原因、会被遗传的性质以及如何克服学习障碍。
1．F 根据空前一句“Learning disabilities happen because of the way a person's brain takes in and processes information”可知，大脑领会和加工信息的方式不同导致了学习障碍的形成；据此可以判断，空处介绍学习障碍形成后的结果：一些人使用不同的方式学习。
2．E 根据空前一句“Kids with learning problems are sometimes surprised to find out that one of their parents had similar troubles when he or she was in school”可知，有学习障碍的孩子会发现他们的父母中会有一位在上学时有学习障碍；结合下文中的“Learning experts now know a lot more about the brain and how learning works”可知，现在学习专家已经对大脑和学习的工作原理知道得更多；据此可以判断，空处与上文形成转折，说明现在的孩子会比他们的父母更有优势，故E项符合语境。
3．B 根据空后一句“Start with his teacher and his mom or dad”可知，孩子可以从老师和父母那里得知自己是否有学习障碍，据此可知，孩子不需要自己去弄明白自己是否有学习障碍，但他所需要做的是问一下老师和父母，故B项符合语境。
4．D 根据空前一句“Finding out you have a learning disability can be upsetting”可知，发现自己有学习障碍是很难受的；据此可以推断，空处应该介绍发现自己有学习障碍后，你会感到自己和他人不一样，故D项符合语境。
5．G 根据空前一句“It may take a lot of efforts every day”可知，这种训练每天需要付出很多努力；据此可以判断，那可能是一种挑战，但是你能做到；故G项符合语境。
Unit 2 Poems
一、阅读理解。
Millions of people visit Yosemite National Park every year to see the tall waterfalls and mountains.The mountains are a splendid sight when viewed from the valley floor.Lots of stores，hotels，and restaurants are needed to handle the crowds.Also，water，roads，and other service systems are part of the infrastruc-ture(基础设施)that must be maintained.
Unfortunately，these systems are starting to break down.It's not just in Yosemite but in national parks around the nation.Yosemite is thirty years old according to Dennis Calvin，a National Park Service worker.The park is not only old but worn out.Two or three times as many visitors come every year.That is too many visitors for the park to deal with.
Four years ago a storm washed out a water pipeline in the Grand Canyon.The National Park Service had to send water trucks to provide water for the visitors.Last month pipes almost broke again and roads had to be closed for a while.
Why hasn't the National Park Service kept up the park repairs？There is a lack of money.The United States has 378 monuments，parks，and wilderness areas.Between three and four billion dollars are needed for repairs.
Yosemite is one national park that does have money for repairs.It has two hundred million dollars but cannot spend it any way it chooses.When the park workers started widening the road, they were forced to stop by the Sierra Club.The club claimed that the road work was damaging the Merced River that runs through the park.
A Sierra Club lawyer, Julia Olson, feels that the infrastructure needs to be moved out of Yosemite.That way less pressure will be put on the already crowded park.
1．According to the text，the mountains in Yosemite look splendid when they are appreciated from ________.
A．the bottom of the valleys
B．the top of the mountains
C．the side of the mountains
D．the edge of the valleys

A．an environmental group
B．an information center
C．a travel service
D．a law firm
【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。每年有大量游客来到Yosemite国家公园参观，这给公园带来了很多压力。
长难句分析：When the park workers started widening the road, they were forced to stop by the Sierra Club.(倒数第二段第三句)
译文：当公园工作人员开始拓宽道路的时候，他们被Sierra俱乐部强行阻止了。

2．C 细节理解题。Also，water，roads，and other service systems are part of the infrastructure(基础设施)that must be maintained.(第一段最后一句)
译文：此外，水、道路和其他服务系统是必须维护的基础设施的一部分。
解题思路：根据关键句及第二段第一句可知，在美国像Yosemite这样的国家公园很难满足游客的需求，因为它们的服务系统经常出问题。故选C。

译文：每年有两到三倍的游客到这儿来。公园需要应付太多的游客了。
解题思路：根据关键句可知，Yosemite国家公园的主要问题是游客太多，过度拥挤。故选B。
4．A 推理判断题。A Sierra Club lawyer, Julia Olson, feels that the infrastructure needs to be moved out of Yosemite.That way less pressure will be put on the already crowded park.(最后一段)
译文：Sierra俱乐部的律师Julia Olson认为，基础设施需要搬离Yosemite国家公园。这样一来，拥挤的公园就不会有太大的压力了。
解题思路：根据关键句及第五段最后两句可推知，Sierra俱乐部可能是一个环保组织。故选A。
二、单句语法填空
1．Is there anything ________ particular that you want to talk about?
答案：in in particular为固定的介词短语，作后置定语，修饰anything，意为“特别的”。
2．If we ________ (exchange) telephone number last week, I would have no trouble getting in touch with you now.
答案：had exchanged 该句为错综时间虚拟条件句。由last week可知，从句表示与过去事实相反，故应填had exchanged。
3．Although ________ (tease) about fatness, she still has confidence in her performance of daily life.
答案：teased 主语she与tease之间为被动关系，故应用过去分词作状语。
4．This is a poem that perfectly ________ (convey) to the readers what the poet feels.
答案：conveys 由主句谓语动词is和从句中的feels可以判断用一般现在时。定语从句的先行词为a poem，为单数形式，故从句谓语动词也应用第三人称单数形式conveys，该从句含有“convey sth. to sb.”的结构。
5．She always exchanges words ________ her neighbours.

I suddenly realized I had grown up and that I had to look after me and live independently.Not until then I know my senior high school life had real begun.
【答案】
It was on a warm autumn day that my father and I into my new high school. After in the classroom， volunteer took me to my dormitory. Altogether I had five roommates，two of arrived later.I got to know my new immediately. Although I was quite unwilling to say“Goodbye” to my father，/ he had to leave home. I suddenly realized I had grown up and that I had to look after and live independently.Not until then I know my senior high school life had begun.
第一处：walk→walked。考查动词时态。根据“It was on a warm autumn day”可知，事情发生在过去，故用一般过去时。
第二处：registered→registering。考查动名词。after是介词，后跟名词、代词或动名词作宾语，故用动名词形式。
第三处：the→a。考查冠词。volunteer是可数名词，且第一次在文中出现，故用不定冠词修饰。
第四处：which→whom。考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，应用whom引导非限定性定语从句，在从句中作介词of的宾语，修饰先行词five roommates。
第五处：roommate→roommates。考查名词复数。由上文的“I had five roommates”可知，室友不止一个，故用复数形式。
第六处：删除but或将but改为yet。考查连词。在英语中，although和but不能同时出现在一个句子中，故删除but。也可将but改为yet。补充：此处也可将Although删掉，但是语意上没有修改but好。
第七处：leave后的to改为for。考查介词。leave for意为“前往”，为固定词组，符合语境。
第八处：me→myself。考查代词。与句子主语I呼应，应用反身代词，意为“照顾好自己”。
第九处：then后加did。考查倒装句。not until置于句首时，常采用部分倒装，即把助动词放在主语之前。由时间状语then和下文的时态可知，此处用一般过去时，故用did。
第十处：real→really。考查副词。修饰动词应用副词，故将real改为really。
A healthy life
一、阅读理解
Oxford English Dictionary(OED)editors recently noted that the three-letter word “run” has indeed become the single word with the most meanings with about 645 different usage cases for the verb form alone，making it the most complicated word in the English language.
The various definitions of “run” featured in the OED's upcoming third edition begin with the obvious “to go with quick steps”，then continue to run on for 75 columns of type.How could three little letters be responsible for so much meaning？Context is everything.
Think about it：When you run a fever，for example，those three letters have a very different meaning than when you run a bath to treat it，or when your bathwater runs over and wets your cotton bath runner，forcing you to run out to the store and buy a new one.And when you ran over a nail in the parking lot and now your car won't even run properly...God—you'd do things differently if you ran the world.
When the OED's first edition came out in 1928，the longest entry belonged to another three-letter word：“set”．Even today，the print edition of the OED contains some 200 meanings，beginning with“put，lay，or stand” and continuing on for about 32 pages.
So what happened? British author Simon Winchester believes “a feature of our more energetic times” made word like “set” seem more passive by comparison.“Run” appears to have earned some major lift during the Industrial Revolution.“Machines run, clocks run, computers run—all of those meanings began in the middle of the 19th century，” Winchester says.
So，ready to run through the whole list of definitions？Ah，to read all 645 meanings you'll have to wait for the next edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.
1．Which phrase has the first meaning of “run” in the upcoming third edition of OED?
A．To run a fever.
B．To run out to the store.
C．To run a bath.
D．To run a machine.
2．What does the writer intend to tell us in Paragraph 3?
A．Various meanings of the word “run”．
B．How to use “run” in specific cases.
C．How to learn about the word “run”．
D．Different ways to run the world.
3．What can we learn from the text?
A．“Run” is the most difficult word.
B．The meaning of “set” continues on for 75 columns of type.
C．“Run” had the most meanings in 1928.
D．“Run” has 645 meanings for the verb form in the third edition of OED.
4．What made “run” become the word with the most meanings according to Winchester?
A．Oxford English Dictionary.
B．The various definitions.
C．Usage cases of the word “set”．
D．The Industrial Revolution.
【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。最近《牛津英语词典》的编辑注意到由3个字母组成的单词“run”仅作为动词便具有645个不同用法，成为了英语中最复杂的单词。无独有偶，还有“set”一词，也是用法较多，在词典中有大约200个意思。词汇意义的复杂多样化是社会发展、进步的象征。

context n．上下文，语境，背景
upcoming adj.即将到来的
1．B 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句中的“upcoming third edition begin with the obvious ‘to go with quick steps’”可知，第三版《牛津英语词典》中“run”的第一个意思是“跑”。A项意为“发烧”；B项意为“向商店跑去”；C项意为“洗澡”；D项意为“运行机器”。B项符合题意。故选B。
2．A 推理判断题。第三段作者都是在介绍“run”搭配的不同词组及其意义。A项意为“‘run’一词的多种含义”，符合题意。故选A。
3．D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“upcoming third edition”及第一段中的“become the single word with the most meanings with about 645 different usage cases for the verb form alone”可知，在第三版《牛津英语词典》中“run”作为动词就有645个意思。A项没有提及；B、C两项表述错误。故选D。
4．D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“‘Run’appears to have earned some major lift during the Industrial Revolution.‘Machines run，clocks run，computers run—all of those meanings began in the middle of the 19th century’”可知，“run”一词的含义在工业革命时期开始多起来。故选D。

一、阅读理解。
Priscilla Ouchidas' “energy-efficient” house turned out to be a horrible dream.When she and her engineer husband married a few years ago，they built a $100 000，three-bedroom home in California.Tightly sealed to prevent air leaks，the house was equipped with small double-paned windows and several other energy-saving features.Problems began as soon as the couple moved in，however.Priscilla's eyes burned.Her throat was constantly dry.She suffered from headaches and could hardly sleep.It was as though she had suddenly developed a strange illness.
Experts finally traced the cause of her illness.The level of formaldehyde(甲醛)gas in her kitchen was twice the maximum allowed by federal standards for chemical workers.The source of the gas? Her new kitchen cupboards and wall-to-wall carpeting.
The Ouchidas are victims of indoor air pollution, which is not given sufficient attention partly because of the nation's drive to save energy.The problem itself isn't new.“The indoor environment was dirty long before energy conservation came along，” says Moschandreas, a pollution scientist at Geomet Technologies in Maryland.“Energy conservation has tended to accentuate the situation in some cases.”
The problem appears to be more troublesome in newly constructed homes rather than old ones.Back in the days when energy was cheap，home builders didn't worry much about unsealed cracks.Because of such leaks，the air in an average home was replaced by fresh outdoor air about once an hour.As a result，the pollutants generated in most households seldom build up to dangerous levels.
1．It can be learned from the passage that the Ouchidas' house ________.
A．is well worth the money spent on its construction
B．is almost perfect from the point of energy conservation
C．failed to meet energy conservation standards
D．was designed and constructed in a scientific way
2．What made the Ouchidas' new house a horrible dream?
A．Lack of fresh air.
B．Poor quality of building materials.
C．Gas leakage in the kitchen.
D．The newly painted walls.
3．Why were cracks in old houses not a big concern?
A．Because indoor cleanness was not emphasized.
B．Because they were technically unavoidable.
C．Because environmental protection was more important.
D．Because energy used to be inexpensive.
4．This passage is most probably taken from an article entitled “________”．
A．Energy Conservation
B．Houses Building Crisis
C．Air Pollution Indoors
D．Traps in Building Construction
【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了Ouchida夫妇响应国家号召建造了节能的房子，但是因为房子密不透风，使室内缺少新鲜空气，而且甲醛含量超标，室内空气污染，导致他们的身体出现了状况。
长难句分析：The Ouchidas are victims of indoor air pollution，which is not given sufficient attention partly because of the nation's drive to save energy.(第三段第一句)
分析：本句是复合句。The Ouchidas are victims of indoor air pollution是主句；which引导非限制性定语从句。
译文：Ouchida夫妇是室内空气污染的受害者，这没有得到足够的重视，部分原因是国家鼓励节约能源。
词汇积累：equip v．配备 victim n．受害者
constantly adv.经常 sufficient adj.足够的
1．B 推理判断题。Tightly sealed to prevent air leaks.the house was equipped with small double-paned windows and several other energy-saving features.(第一段第三句)
译文：房子密封，防止漏气，房子配备了小的双层玻璃窗和具有其他几个节能的特点。
解题思路：根据关键句可推知，从节能的角度来看，他们的房子几乎是完美的。故选B。
2．A 推理判断题。根据第二、三段内容可推知，Ouchida夫妇的新房子缺少新鲜空气，并且甲醛含量严重超标，这也是房屋主人患病的主要原因。故选A。
3．D 细节理解题。Back in the days when energy was cheap, home builders didn't worry much about unsealed cracks.(最后一段第二句)
译文：在能源还是很便宜的时候，房屋的建造者对不密封的裂缝并不是很担心。
解题思路：根据关键句可知，过去不关心房屋裂缝是因为那时能源不贵。故选D。
4．C 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文章主要围绕节能造成室内污染的问题展开论述，因此Air Pollution Indoors适合做标题。故选C。
二、单句语法填空
1．Father is strongly opposed to ________ (go) shopping on Sunday because the streets and supermarkets are full of people.
答案：going be opposed to ... “反对……”，其中to为介词，其后应接名词、动名词作宾语。
2．The prices of this kind of wine ranged ________ ten yuan ________ 100 yuan per bottle.
答案：from; to range from ... to ... “在某范围内变化”。
3．Though he is less than one year old, he is strong enough to walk ________ (steady)．
答案：steadily 副词作状语，在句中修饰动词walk。
4．Do you know how the accident came ________ ?
答案：about come about “发生”。
5．With Spring Festival approaching, prices of fruit and vegetables ________ (go) up.
答案：have gone go up “上升；增长；升起”。
6．Quantities of money ________ (spend) in bringing up the children since they were married.
答案：have been spent “a quantity of＋名词”作主语时，谓语动词与名词的数保持一致；而“quantities of＋名词”作主语时，谓语动词用复数。且由since可知应用现在完成时，再根据money与spend之间的被动关系，故填have been spent。
7．How many times do you dine out per week ________ average?
答案：on on average “平均起来；平均来说”。句意：你平均每周在外用餐多少次？
8．Under these ________ (circumstance), what matters most is not only our persistence but also our attitude.
答案：circumstances under these circumstances “在这些情况下”。
9．The gap between the rich and the poor has a ________ (tend) to become wider and wider.
答案：tendency 由设空前的a可知，应填名词形式，tendency “趋势；倾向”。
10．The heavy snow can easily result ________ many accidents in winter.
答案：in result in “导致”。

5．B 根据该空所在句中的“I asked __5__ I could help her”可知，空处引导宾语从句，作动词asked的宾语，由“I could help her”和asked可以判断，“我”问她是否需要帮忙。因此用whether引导该宾语从句，故B项正确。
6．B 根据下文中的“find the DVD”，结合该空所在句“The woman smiled at me and showed me a __6__ on a piece of paper”可知，这位母亲微笑着递给“我”一张写有名称的纸。B项意为“名称，标题”，符合语境，故B项正确。A项意为“建议”，C项意为“票”，D项意为“收据”，都与语境不符。

四、单句改错
1．The doctor treated average of 20 patients per day.

五、短文改错
My father is the man I respect most.Strict as he may be，however he never fails to show her care and consideration.Once I broke a neighbor window.Seeing nobody around，I ran away immediately.When Dad came home，he noticed my uneasiness and asked me what has happened.I could only tell him a truth.Instead of scold，he praised my honesty and then encouraged me to apologize our neighbor.I learned from this incident that not only does Dad take care of my health and he also teaches me what to be a good citizen.How luckily I am to have such a good father!
【答案】
My father is the man I respect most.Strict as he may be， he never fails to show care and consideration.Once I broke a window.Seeing nobody around，I ran away immediately.When Dad came home，he noticed my uneasiness and asked me what happened.I could only tell him truth.Instead of ，he praised my honesty and then encouraged me to apologize our neighbor.I learned from this incident that not only does Dad take care of my health he also teaches me to be a good citizen.How I am to have such a good father!
第一处：删除however。考查连词。在as引导的让步状语从句中，表语放句首时，从句倒装，分析句子结构可知，however多余。
第二处：her→his。考查代词。与上文人称代词he保持一致，可知，此处应用形容词性物主代词his。
第三处：neighbor→neighbor's。考查名词所有格形式。此处用名词所有格形式作定语，修饰名词window。
第四处：has→had。考查动词时态。与asked呼应可知，此处应用过去完成时，表示过去的过去。
第五处：a→the。考查冠词。tell the truth为固定词组搭配，符合语境，故用定冠词the。
第六处：scold→scolding。考查动名词。介词后跟名词、代词或动名词作宾语，故用动名词scolding作介词of的宾语。
第七处：our前加to。考查介词。apologize to sb.意为“向某人道歉”，为固定词组搭配，故用介词to。
第八处：and→but。考查连词，not only...but also...意为“不但……而且……”，为固定结构，故用连词but。
第九处：what→how。考查疑问词。与teaches呼应可知，此处表示方式，故用how。
第十处：luckily→lucky。考查形容词。与I am呼应可知，此处应用形容词lucky作表语。
The power of nature
一、阅读理解。
Are you looking forward to watching some great films in this summer? Here are four films you won't miss.
Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman is this summer's most exciting film.Though being a superhero film，it is the most unique：you will see the first female superhero starred by Gal Gadot.On general release from 1 June.
The Mummy
Tom Cruise awakens an ancient princess who has now become a mummy.Cruise jumps from the sky，runs around a lot and wakes up naked in a sleeping bag—but it's Sofia Boutella as the Mummy who draws the most attention.Director Alex Kurtzman speaks highly of Sofia Boutella as the Mummy：“If you look at her eyes，there's a whole performance going on here.Even not saying anything，she can convey something very emotional to you.” On general release from 8 June.
Baby Driver
Ansel Elgort is a getaway driver，who is forced to work for a crime boss.This is a action-romantic-comedy from British writer-director Edgar Wright.The sound in the film is as great as the visuals，which makes it much like a musical，but it is quite different from La La Land.Baby Driver isn't just a series of song pieces.Instead，it finds its form in the elegant，rapid-fire combination of movement and sound.Released on 28 June in Canada and the US.
A Man Called Ove
This film has become one of Sweden's most popular comedies.In the film a lonely retiree who has given up on life，was trying to kill himself，but all his attempts failed.Meanwhile，he developed an unlikely friendship with his neighbors.It is really a tearjerker(催人泪下的电影)，which is funny，tragic，and heartwarming as well.Released on 25 May in Hong Kong,30 June in the UK.
1．If you are a big fan of Batman and Superman，which film will you like best?
A．Wonder Woman
B．The Mummy
C．Baby Driver

A．Wonder Woman is the first superhero film.
B．Sofia Boutella performs as well as Tom Cruise.
C．Baby Driver is a musical like La La Land.
D．The audience of A Man Called Ove may experience different feelings.
【解题导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了四部电影。
【难句分析】If you look at her eyes，there's a whole performance going on here.Even not saying anything，she can convey something very emotional to you.
分析：本句包含if引导的条件状语从句；going on here为现在分词短语作定语；Even not saying anything为现在分词短语作状语。
译文：如果你看她的眼睛，(会发现)她的眼里就有完整的表演，即使什么都不说，她(也)能向你传达非常有情感的东西。
1．A 考查推理判断。根据Wonder Woman部分中的“Wonder Woman is this summer's most exciting film.Though being a superhero film，it is the most unique：you will see the first female superhero starred by Gal Gadot”可知，如果你是Batman和Superman的粉丝，那么同为超级英雄电影的Wonder Woman会是你最喜欢的电影。
2．C 考查细节理解。根据The Mummy部分中的“If you look at her eyes, there's a whole performance going on here.Even not saying anything，she can convey something very emotional to you”可知，Sofia Boutella即使什么都不说，也能用眼睛很好地传达情感，说明她表演得很出色。
3．D 考查细节理解。根据A Man Called Ove部分中的“It is really a tearjerker (催人泪下的电影)，which is funny, tragic, and heartwarming as well”可知，这部电影既让人觉得有趣，也让人觉得悲伤，同时又很暖心，是一部含有多种感彩的电影，所以观众在观影过程中会有不同的情感体验。
二、单句语法填空
1．I think that the house will be ________ (suit) for the needs of your family.
答案：suitable be suitable for ... “适合……”。
2．It's impossible ________ (evaluate) these results without knowing more about the research method.
答案：to evaluate 惯用句型It's＋adj.＋to do。该句中it为形式主语，真正的主语为动词不定式，故填to evaluate。
3．He is unfortunate to have his house ________ (burn) to the ground.
答案：burnt/burned burn to the ground “全部焚毁”，burn和his house存在逻辑上的动宾关系，故应用过去分词作宾语补足语。
4．You must be ________ (absolute) silent or the birds won't appear.
答案：absolutely 此处应用副词修饰形容词silent，故填absolutely。
5．Yesterday I went to see him, only ________ (learn) that he had gone abroad two days before.
答案：to learn only to do “结果却……”，在句中作结果状语，表示出乎意料的结果。
6．Watching through their windows, the flood victims were anxious ________ (wait) for rescuers to come.
答案：to wait be anxious to do ... “焦虑地做/急于做……”。
7．My watch is still ________ guarantee, so they'll repair it for free.
答案：under under guarantee “在保修期内”。
8．She works in a theatre, ________ (follow) in her father's footsteps.

9．I would like to express my ________ (appreciate) and thanks to you all.
答案：appreciation 由空格前的my一词可知，应填名词。
10．I need to make an ________ (appoint) with Mike to discuss the matter.

【答案】

That's all.Thank you.
第一处：fully→full。考查形容词。修饰名词要用形容词，故用full。
第二处：announcement前加an。考查冠词。announcement表示“通告、公告”时是可数名词，且此处第一次提到，表示泛指，故应加上不定冠词；announcement的读音以元音音素开头，故用an。
第三处：in→from。考查介词。根据语境可知，此处表示欢迎来自美国的朋友，而不是欢迎在美国的朋友。
第四处：was→is。考查时态。这里说的是从现在看将要发生的事情，不能用过去将来时，应用一般将来时。
第五处：never→ever。考查行文逻辑。此处表示“像之前一样，像往常一样”，故用ever。
第六处：They→It。考查代词。此处指代前面的the party，故用It。
第七处：or→and。考查连词。根据句意以及下文提到的让大家准备礼品可知，此处表示并列关系而非选择关系，故用and。
第八处：删除bring前的to。考查情态动词。情态动词后应用动词原形，故to多余。
第九处：writing→write。考查固定搭配。此处应用动词原形write与pack，sign并列。
第十处：funs→fun。考查名词。fun为不可数名词，没有复数形式。
