Everyone fancies a bargain; if it is free, everyone loves it even more! Those who do not believe in a free lunch can now eat their words because it is possible to get things for free in Singapore without any conditions attached.Let me introduce you to some tips on where and how to gain some free presents， all without even touching your wallet.
Food
Go search for food festivals and fairs.These food sellers usually put out a lot of small samples for all to try.Famous ones include the Singapore Food Festival held annually in the month of July at various locations including the Takashimaya Square and Plaza Singapura.
Haircuts
There are well-known hair salons every month that require hair models for apprentices (学徒)to exercise their skills or for their hair stylists (发型)to experiment with new styles.Unbelievable as it might sound, most people come out of this experience satisfied and addicted to more of such deals.
Free Internet
Most hotels offer free wifi.There are also many cafés in Singapore that offer free wireless surfing.However, order a coffee to avoid unfriendly stares from the staff.Popular spots include the McDonald’s, Starbucks and Café Galilee outlets throughout our island.
Free City Tour
If you are a traveler in Singapore, the Singapore Tourism Board has arranged for you to enjoy a free two-hour city tour that offers you a choice to enjoy a Sentosa Island tour or a small-boat experience.
Living and traveling in Singapore is expensive, but sometimes all it takes is a closer look at all the little sheltered corners of this island to appreciate the occasional treasures that are given to those who seek.

When Frida Kahlo’s paintings were on show in London, a poet described her paintings as “a ribbon (丝带)around a bomb”．Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time.Sadly, she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time.
Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City，Kahlo suffered from polio (小儿麻痹症)at the age of seven.Her spine (脊柱)became bent as she grew older.Then, in 1925, her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident.Throughout the rest of her life, the artist had many operations, but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back.However, the accident had an unexpected side effect.While lying in her bed recovering, Kahlo taught herself to paint.
In 1929, she got married to Diego Rivera, another famous Mexican artist.Rivera’s strong influence on Kahlo’s style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s，known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.
Unfortunately, her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s, even in her home country.Her first one woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953.For more than a decade after her death in 1954, Kahlo’s works remained largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.
文章大意：本文属于人物传记。墨西哥女画家弗里达·卡罗，身残志不残，创作了无数优秀作品。虽然她的作品未能在她有生之年受到应有的关注，但最终在国际上得到了认可。
24．What does the phrase “a much bigger name” in Paragraph 1 most nearly mean？ __D__
A．A far better artist．B．A far more gifted artist.
C．A much stronger person．D．A much more famous person.
解析：词义猜测题。她去世后，能力(A项)、天赋(B项)、身体强壮程度(C项)不会发生变化，改变的只是人们对其的评价和了解而已，故选D项。第一段的第二句是答案提示。
25．The terrible pain Kahlo suffered was caused by __C__.
A．polio B．her bent spine
C．back injuries D．the operations she had
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段的第四句可知，尽管经历了多次手术，仍然没有治愈卡罗背上巨大的疼痛。再结合前面说她在一次车祸中背部受伤可知，她背上的疼痛是由背上的伤引起的。
26．Kahlo’s style had become increasingly independent since the __B__.
A．1930s B．1940s
C．1950s D．1970s
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第二句的后半句“but her later works from the 1940s，known today as her best works，show less influence from her husband”可知选B。
27．What is the author’s attitude toward Kahlo？ __B__
A．Devotion. B．Sympathy.
C．Worry. D．Encouragement.
解析：推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中的Sadly和最后一段中的Unfortunately可以看出，作者对卡罗的遭遇以及其作品只是在其去世后才引起关注感到同情。故选B。
C
I was born in Mississippi in the 1960s.My disabilities were caused by lack of oxygen to my brain when I was a five-year-old boy.I grew up knowing I was different. The first time I felt hurt and left out was in Grade Five. The other fourth and fifth graders played together in gym class, while I was put in the second grade gym class.One day, a famous football player visited the fourth and fifth grade P．E．class.All the kids got his autograph except me because I was with the second graders playing games.Mom called the school to tell them it wasn’t fair, but the school scolded me for complaining too much.
In the 1980s，when my mom was giving birth to my sister，she had suffered a major stroke (中风)and died. My dad became even more distant (冷漠的)．I was very sad and began using alcohol to ease the pain.
Dad got remarried in 1985.Everyone went to his wedding except me; he told me to stay at home and watch the house.When my high school ball came around，I wanted to go but wasn’t allowed.When I graduated, my dad and stepmother refused to hold a party for me.They put me in a group home after graduation.
My life changed when I became a local leader of the National Self-advocacy (自我辩护)Group.At first, I thought the group wasn’t for me, until I found out it was all about empowerment (授权)! My goal is to be the voice for people who haven’t been heard and to empower them.Many families, like mine, don’t believe their disabled families have a voice or mind of their own.
Looking back over my 16 years of leadership experience，I’m proud that I’ve helped disabled people. They should be encouraged never to give up and to follow their own path.
28．When the writer was in the fifth grade，he __B__.
A．was hurt by his classmates in school
B．felt left out for the first time in his life
C．studied with the second graders

29．According to the passage, the writer __D__.
A．was born disabled
B．didn’t study well at school
C．was happy in his childhood
D．didn’t get along well with his father
解析：细节理解题。 由第二段中的“My dad became even more distant(冷淡的)．I was very sad and began using alcohol to ease the pain.”以及第三段所描述的作者的遭遇可知。

A．his father was very strict with him
B．he was ill-treated by his stepmother
C．his family didn’t believe he had a voice
D．he had no freedom in his family
解析：段落大意题。由本段中所描述的被禁止参加父亲的婚礼、不被允许参加学校舞会、父母不为其举行中学毕业庆祝会等事实可知，作者在家中没有发言权。voice意为“发言权”。这一点在第四段的末句亦可得到证实。
31．From the passage we can know that the National Self-advocacy Group is __A__.
A．an organization that gives disabled people help
B．a club organized completely by disabled people
C．a hospital which only treats people with disabilities
D．a school that teaches parents how to deal with their disabled kids
解析：细节理解题。 由最后一段“...I’ve helped disabled people.”可知。
D
Many young people these days adore the advertised magazine body and become too focused on attaining this image instead of worrying more about what lasts and even grows over time.But could you imagine being considered beautiful for years, and suddenly being considered ugly after moving to another continent? It is a sad reality that people don’t realize how vacillating the idea of beauty can be from one country to another.
Think of the most typical American girl you know.Is she blonde-haired with white skin and light eyes, and does she love shopping or sports? Now place this girl in the heart of Africa, a place where beauty is placed on what you can control.The Maasai tribe in Kenya focuses on how clean people are, and how stylish their piercings (穿孔)are.This tribe’s culture is to be a brave fighter, so they will cut their skin with patterns in it to show that they are strong.If you don’t look fierce, you are not beautiful.
Other countries like North Korea and South Korea have their own unique views on beauty.In an interview, a woman who has lived in both North and South Korea claims that beauty in North Korea is based more on your ability to be a good woman and wife. She says that women in North Korea are less concerned about fashion and beauty in the physical sense.She says they did have a time when everyone wanted to get double eyelid surgery.This is something extreme and could perhaps be influenced by Western culture.And the idea of getting surgery done to look more attractive is crazy.
文章大意：许多年轻人会因为外在形象而选择自己认为美的偶像，但其实不同国家对于美都有不同的标准，即使在同一国家的不同时期美的标准也是不同的。
32．What does the underlined word “vacillating” in Paragraph 1 probably mean？ __A__
A．Inconsistent. B．Reasonable.
C．Unusual. D．Similar.
解析：词义猜测题。根据第一段第二句可知，你认为很美的人在另外一个大洲会被认为是丑的，故美的概念在不同国家是不一致的。inconsistent不一致的；reasonable合理的；unusual不寻常的；similar相似的。
33．The Maasai tribe in Kenya is mentioned to show that in their eyes __B__.
A．being dirty is stylish B．looking fierce is beautiful
C．strong people cut their skin D．American girls love shopping
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句可知，在肯尼亚马赛部落，looking fierce是评判一个人是否美丽的标准。
34．According to the woman interviewed, women in North Korea __C__.
A．care a lot about their appearance
B．put the beauty of eyes in the first place
C．pay great attention to their ability
D．aren’t crazy about double eyelid surgery
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句可知，在朝鲜，女性的美在于她的能力。
35．What does the text mainly tell us？ __B__.
A．Inner beauty is of great importance.
B．Ideas of beauty vary among culture groups.
C．Different ways are needed to admire true beauty.
D．Fashion magazines easily influence young people.
解析：主旨大意题。在第一段中作者指出It is a sad reality that people don’t realize how vacillating the idea of beauty can be from one country to another.下文用具体的国家来证明自己的观点——美在不同的文化中有不同的概念。

(2019·河北衡水校级月考)
Many people seem to love potatoes however they are cooked.But have you ever asked yourself where they came from?
It all started in Peru.There, people grew potatoes thousands of years ago.They weren’t like the ones we know today. __36.B__ The first Europeans to try to plant potatoes were the Spanish.In 1537, Spanish explorers discovered people eating what they called papas.They brought this strange vegetable back to Spain in the 1550s.
People generally didn’t like the potato. Lots of other vegetables were introduced into Europe at the same time, like tomatoes and sweet potatoes, and people preferred those to the unattractive potatoes. __37.G__ Very slowly, they spread through Europe.There is a story that King Louis XVI of France liked the potato and planted them in his royal garden. __38.F__
So, what about chips? Well, the Belgians claim that they invented fried potatoes, although nobody really knows for sure. The first mention of “chips” in England is by the writer Charles Dickens in 1859. __39.D__ The Americans call them “French fries” because soldiers from America went to France during the First World War and loved the dish. Now, the Americans eat over twenty million tons of chips a year.
Crisps are an American invention, although they call them “chips”．Everybody agrees that a native American chef, George Crum, made the first crisps in 1853.One day, a difficult customer wanted fried potatoes, sliced thinly.When they arrived, he said they weren’t thin enough. __40.A__ In the end, Crum got annoyed and sliced the potatoes as thinly as he could and fried them, and then added lots of salt.The dish was an immediate success.
Next time you are in your favourite fast-food place eating chips with your friends, amaze them with your potato knowledge!
A．He kept sending them back to be cooked again.
B．The original potatoes were smaller and tasted bitter.
C．They were found to be a good source of vitamins, surprisingly.
D．He mentioned “chips of potato” fried in oil in one of his books.
E．He asked the fried potatoes to be mixed with butter and cheese.
F．Ordinary people stole them and planted them in their own gardens.
G．They were given to slaves and prisoners, because they were so cheap.
文章大意：许多人似乎喜欢土豆，不管它们的烹饪方式是什么。但你有没有想过土豆来自哪里？本文介绍了土豆的起源。
解析：
36．根据上文中的“There，people grew potatoes thousands of years ago.They weren’t like the ones we know today”可知，人们在数千年前种植的土豆和我们今天所知道的土豆不一样。B项(原来的土豆比较小，味道也比较苦)符合语境，故选B。
37．根据上文中的“People generally didn’t like the potato.Lots of other vegetables were introduced into Europe at the same time，like tomatoes and sweet potatoes，and people preferred those to the unattractive potatoes”可知，人们一般不喜欢土豆，许多其他的蔬菜同时被引入欧洲，像西红柿和甘薯，人们更喜欢这些而不是那些没有吸引力的土豆。G项(因为它们很便宜，所以都被分给奴隶和囚犯吃)符合语境，故选G。
38．根据上文中的“There is a story that King Louis XVI of France liked the potato and planted them in his royal garden”可知，曾经有一个故事说法国国王路易十六喜欢土豆，把它们种在他的皇家花园里。F项(普通人偷了它们，把它们种在自己的花园里)符合语境且与上文存在逻辑上的衔接，故选F。
39．根据上文中的“The first mention of’chips’in England is by the writer Charles Dickens in 1859”可知，在英国“炸土豆条”是由作家查尔斯·狄更斯于1859年首次提及的。D项(他在他的一本书中提到了油炸“土豆条”)与该句存在语意及逻辑上的衔接，故选D。
40．根据上文中的“One day，a difficult customer wanted fried potatoes，sliced thinly.When they arrived，he said they weren’t thin enough”可知，有一天，一个难缠的顾客想要油炸的切成薄片的土豆，但当土豆端上来后那个顾客却说它们不够薄。A项(他不停地要求把土豆送回去重新做)与该句存在语意及逻辑上的衔接，故选A。

55．A．life B．learning

文章大意：布朗先生梦想成为一位摄影师，但终日忙碌，梦想无法实现。因工作失误，布朗先生被老板炒了鱿鱼，妻子非但没有生气，反而庆幸，鼓励他去追求自己的梦想。
解析：
61．考查名词。photographer表示“摄影师”。
62．考查连词。his work kept him too busy是在解释原因。
63．考查代词。此处him指代Mr.Brown。
64．考查动词时态。lose的动作发生在told之前，表示“过去的过去”，用过去完成时。
65．考查副词。instead“相反地”，作状语修饰整个句子。
66．考查介词。live on意为“以……为生”。
67．考查副词。此处意为“令人吃惊的是”，副词作状语修饰整个句子。
68．考查非谓语动词。be good at doing sth.擅长做某事。
69．考查非谓语动词。用不定式表目的。
70．考查动词语态。Mr.Brown和move之间是被动关系，故用被动语态。全文时态是过去，故用过去时态的被动语态。

This is the Lakewood Public Address System. This is not a test like the one we had last week. I repeat，this is not a test. The Western Hill fire is spreading toward Lakewood much quicker than we had expected. Currently，we expect the fire to come within twenty miles of Lakewood by six o’clock this evening. We are therefore requiring all people here to leave this area immediately.
Springfield to the north, Point Cabina Station to the east, and Galveston to the south are all in the safe zone.It will take less than thirty minutes to drive to any of these towns. Take as many things as you can fit in your car, but do not be slow. We have orders from the state police to make sure that the entire town of Lakewood is empty by five o’clock today. You have plenty of time to get all your family members, pets, and belongings together, so there is no need to panic. Stay calm，but get started as soon as possible.
第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
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
Has it come to this？Robots standing in for doctors at the hospital patients’ bedside?
Not exactly, but some doctors have found a way to use a robot to check on patients while they’re miles away from the hospital.
One is at Baltimore’s Sinai Hospital.Equipped with cameras，a screen and microphone，the robot is guided into the rooms of Dr Alex Gandsas’ patients where he speaks to them as if he was right there.
“The system allows you to be anywhere in the hospital from anywhere in the world，” said the surgeon, who specializes in weight-loss operation.
Besides his normal morning and afternoon personal visits, Gandsas uses the $150,000 robot to visit patients at night or when problems arise.The robot can circle the bed and adjust the position of its two cameras, giving the perception from the patient’s standpoint that the doctor is there.“They love it.They’d rather see me through the robot，” he said of his patients’ reaction to the machine.Nurse Florence Ford, who has worked with the robot since it was introduced about 18 months ago, said patients have reacted well, particularly because “seeing the doctor’s face gives them confidence”．
Gandsas presented the idea to hospital leaders as a method to more closely observe patients following weight-loss operation.Since its introduction, Dr Alex found that nearly one third of his 376 patients went out of hospital earlier than first expected.
Michael Chan, president of InTouch Technologies, said his company’s device allows doctors to “be in more than one place at the same time”．
Speaking with Gandsas through one of the robots at company headquarters, Chan said the company designs applications for the devices in remote areas and for dealing with shortages of health care workers.“They will soon be big, ”said Chan when asked about their future.
文章大意：文章讲的是一种帮助医生检查病人的机器人。
21．According to Dr Alex, the purpose of using robots in the hospital is that __B__.
A．robots can provide patients more fun than doctors
B．patients will be closely watched after being operated on
C．robots can free doctors from their great work pressure
D．hospitals can solve the problem of lacking medical workers
解析：推理判断题。根据第六段第一句话可知甘瑟斯医生向医院领导提出此主意是想在病人做过手术后能对他们更密切地观察。
22．By using robots，Dr Alex finds that __A__.
A．patients visited by robots may recover completely sooner
B．the number of patients in his hospital is reducing a lot
C．he can operate on different patients at the same time
D．their hospital doesn’t need as many medical workers as before
解析：细节理解题。根据第六段第二句话可知因为使用了机器人，近三分之一的病人比预料的要早出院，这说明病人恢复得更快一些。
23．From the last sentence, we can learn that Michael Chan thinks that __C__.
A．people won’t believe robots will do well in the future
B．in the future bigger robots will be made to satisfy the needs
C．more robots of this kind will be used in hospitals in the future
D．the prices of the robots will be greatly reduced in the future
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句话可知Michael Chan认为机器人可以解决医护人员短缺的问题，由此判断在未来更多的医院会使用这种机器人。
24．What would be the best title for the passage？ __B__
A．Robots Replace Doctors to Treat Patients
B．Robots Visit Patients When Doctors Can’t
C．High-tech Makes Patients Better Communicate with Doctors
D．Robots Have Begun to Play a Great Part in Hospital Management
解析：主旨大意题。纵观全文可知文章讲的是机器人在医生不在的时候，它们根据指令去看望病人，帮助医生检查照顾病人，并不是取代医生或参与医院管理，故A、D两项错误；C项并未指出文章的重点，只有B项能够概括文章大意。
B
Global retailers(零售商)lose nearly $450 billion every year as a result of out-of-stock items, empty shelves, and other human errors. So Simbe Robotics today announced its first product—Tally. It is the world’s first robotic autonomous shelf auditing (审计)and analytic solution.
The solution consists of one or more mobile robots that can monitor retail environments to capture, report, and analyze the state and help ensure the ideal placement of products on shelves in order to maximize sales.
Tally can help look for stock that is running low and stock that is nearing its sell-by date and so needs to be discounted. It can also analyze gaps in the shelves while also looking for products that are in the wrong place or facing the wrong direction. Pricing errors can be found too.
“When it comes to the retail industry, shopper experience is everything. If a product is unavailable at the time the shopper wants to buy it, the retailer will miss an opportunity and disappoint his customer，” according to Brad Bogolea, CEO and cofounder of Simbe Robotics. “Tally helps retailers address these challenges by providing more precise and timely analysis of the state of in-store goods and freeing up staff to focus on customer service.”
To date, the job of keeping shelves fully stocked and monitoring out-of-date items is a full-time role for supermarket employees. This approach, however, is both costly and inaccurate.Simbe Robotics insists it is not trying to replace these workers, but instead free them up to spend more time helping customers.
Tally stands 38 inches tall, and has an adjustable sensor for capturing shelf data. The overall height is variable, depending on the retailer’s shelf height requirements. Tally weighs approximately 30 lbs, and can be easily moved to anywhere within a retail store’s floor plan.
It is currently on trial with several North American retailers. If current trials of Tally show it to be genuinely effective, this clever little creation could well find its way into the stores far and wide soon.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一种即将上市的用于零售市场或超市负责检查、巡视等工作的最新机器人。
25．What is Paragraph 1 mainly talking about？ __B__
A．The working principle of Tally.
B．The necessity of inventing Tally.
C．The situation of global retailers.
D．The influence of inventing Tally.
解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句可知是说明发明Tally的必要性。
26．What cannot Tally find according to Paragraph 3？ __D__
A．Misplaced items. B．Out-of-stock items.
C．Pricing errors． D．Low-quality goods.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，该机器人可发现脱销产品、价格错误、位置错误等，但不能发现劣质产品。
27．What does the underlined word “address” in Paragraph 4 probably mean？ __A__
A．Deal with. B．Come across.
C．Meet with. D．Give up.
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“by providing more precise and timely analysis of the state of in-store goods and freeing up staff to focus on customer service”可知address意为“解决”。
28．What can be inferred from the passage about Tally？ __D__
A．It needs to be improved further.
B．It can be used to train employees.
C．It can replace the shop assistants entirely.
D．It may not be long before it’s widely used.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句可知，这款机器人通过试验后将很快投入使用。

A 1.6-meter tall robot may soon become the Best friend for lonely elderly people，as Chinese scientists are making the final sprint (冲刺)toward its market launch (投放)，said a senior researcher on the robot project on Saturday.
“We are working on testing the exact functions and ways to reduce the cost in preparations for an expected market launch of the robot in two to three years，” said Li Ruifeng，a member of the project.
He said the team hoped to reduce the cost so that the robot can be priced at 30,000 to 50,000 yuan，which is expected to be an affordable price for most of China’s better-off families.
The robot has been developed with the functions of fetching food, medicine, sounding alarms in case of water or gas leakage, sending texts or video images via wireless communications, and even singing a song or playing chess to entertain its masters.
Li said that the robot, developed independently in China, has technology at the same level as those in western labs.
China set about the research of the robot in 2007，when it was listed as a national key project.It is backed by government funding (拨款)．China has the world’s largest elderly population with 159 million people over 60，accounting for 12 percent of its total population. According to a survey by the Ministry of Civil Affairs，more than 10 million caregivers and nurses are needed to attend the elderly population, as most of Chinese elderly prefer to live their retired lives at home.

33．The underlined word “backed” in the last paragraph means __A__.
A．supported B．suggested
C．controlled D．stopped
解析：词义猜测题。由前一句的“a national key project”及其后的“by government funding(拨款)”可知。
34．From the last paragraph we know that __B__.
A．our government pays no attention to the people
B．China has the world’s largest elderly population
C．Chinese elderly people prefer to be looked after by robot caregivers
D．robots are the best friends for the lonely elderly people
解析：细节理解题。由最后一段第三句“China has the world’s largest elderly population with 159 million people over 60，accounting for 12 percent of its total population.”可知。

Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question：“Should I jump？”This is what motivation or the lack of it can do. Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin. __36.G__ Like the child on the diving board，you will stay undecided.
__37.B__ More than that，how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal？First，you need to evaluate yourself，your values，your strengths，your weaknesses，your achievements，your desires，etc. Only then should you set your goals.
You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation.This is quite important，because it is directly related to your commitment.There are times when your heart is not in your work. __38.A__ So，slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment.Clarity(清晰) of thoughts can help you move forward.
Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives，keeping in mind your beliefs，values and strengths.Remember that goals are flexible. __39.E__ They also need to be measurable.You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals.
Your personal circumstances are equally important.For example，you may want to be a pilot but can’t become one because your eyesight is not good enough. __40.C__ You should reassess your goals，and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.
You will surely need to overcome some difficulties，some planned，but most unplanned.You cannot overcome them without ample motivation.Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.
A．This can affect your work.
B．So how should you motivate yourself?
C．However，this should not discourage you.
D．So why should we try to set specific goals?
E．They can change according to circumstances.
F．Motivation is what you need most to do a good job.
G．Without motivation，you can neither set a goal nor reach it.
文章大意：主题：人与自我(做事)；话题：有动力的方法。本文是一篇议论文，主要介绍了激发动力的方法：要对自己有正确的评价；需要判断你的动机的质量和深度；设定现实的目标。
解析：
36．词汇锁定法解题。空格前有motivation and goal setting，而且说它们是同一枚硬币的两面，缺一不可，由此可知此处讲动力与设定目标的关系，故G项“没有动力，你既不能设定目标也不能实现它”符合语境。本设空类型属于细节理解类。
37．关联逻辑法解题。根据空格后的“更进一步说，你如何保持动力达到目标？”可知，空格处为比此句层次稍浅的提问，B项“那么你应如何激励自己？”符合语境。本设空类型属于细节理解类。
38．关联逻辑法解题。空前说，有时候你的心思不在工作上，这样会导致“影响你的工作”的结果，故选A。本设空类型属于细节理解类。
39．词汇锁定法解题。根据空格前的goals are flexible可知，目标是灵活的，故E项“它们可以根据情况而改变”与之对应。本设空类型属于细节理解类。
40．关联逻辑法解题。根据空格前举的例子，想当飞行员，但视力不够好，你不能因为视力不够好就泄气了，你得把自己当飞行员的目标换一下，重新设定一个目标，选项C“然而，这不应该使你气馁”与之对应。本设空类型属于细节理解类。

第二节(共10分；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
A 13-year-old American has made a cheap machine that can help blind people read.
People __61.who__ cannot see can read by using Braille—a system that people touch to read the letters. But the machines are very expensive. They usually cost at __62.least__ (little) $ 2,000. The American teenager, Shubham Banerjee, made a new machine that __63.lets__ (let)people create robots.It costs just $ 350. As you see it’s much __64.cheaper__ (cheap). It works by translating text into Braille and then __65.printing__ (print) it using a computer or mobile device.
Banerjee designed his Braigo last year for a school science fair. Since then, he __66.has caught__ (catch)the interest of Silicon Valley in the USA．The technology giant invested in Banerjee’s machine last November, but they did not say how much money they put __67.in__. Banerjee also got $ 35,000 from his father to help him start the project. His father works __68.as__ a computer engineer. He spoke about why he gave so much money to his son, saying，“We as __69.parents__ (parent)started to get involved more, thinking that he’s on to something, and his invention has to continue.”Banerjee told the news agency that, “My dream would __70.probably__ (probable)be having most of the blind people...using my Braille printer.”
文章大意：布莱叶盲文机能帮助盲人阅读，给盲人的生活带来阳光，然而，这种机器售价较高。美国一个13岁的孩子发明了一种新的盲文机，售价便宜，很有前景。
解析：
61．考查定语从句。先行词是People，后面的定语从句中缺少主语，故用who作引导词。
62．考查固定短语。这种盲人用来阅读的机器很贵，至少要2 000美元。at least是固定短语，意为：至少。
63．考查主谓一致。本句是定语从句，先行词是a new machine，是单数概念，故用谓语动词的单数形式。
64．考查形容词的比较级。这种新型的盲人阅读机比以前的要便宜很多。这是暗含的比较级，much也是比较级的暗示。
65．考查并列结构。此处应与前面的translating保持一致。
66．考查动词的时态和语态。根据本句的时间状语Since then，可知此处用现在完成时。
67．考查动词短语。美国的Silicon Valley决定投资，但没说具体投入多少资金。put in是动词短语，意为：投入。
68．考查介词的用法。as有“作为”之意，可用来指人的身份或职业。
69．考查名词的复数形式。此处主语是we，故应用复数形式。
70．考查副词。修饰谓语动词，用副词形式。
第四部分：写作(满分35分)
第一节：短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，并在其下面写出该加的词。
删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。

Robots will change our future life many ways, will make it more colorful and comfortable. ， we shouldn’t depend on intelligent robots too much, for they made to help humans rather than replace us.As helpers of humans, robots should be used properly.
解析：
71．考查副词。句中应用副词修饰谓语动词。虽然wide也可以作副词，但表示具体意义的宽；而widely表示抽象意义，意为“广泛地”。
72．考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，句中并列连词and连接两个并列的省略了to的不定式作宾补。
73．考查名词的数。根据上文可知，此处应该用复数形式，表示多项任务。
74．考查冠词。英语中，球类或棋类名词前一般不加冠词。
75．考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处用动词不定式作目的状语。
76．考查介词。固定词组in many ways表示“在很多方面”。
77．考查定语从句。这是一个含有非限制性定语从句的复合句，关系代词which在从句中作主语，指代整个主句的内容。
78．考查副词。根据语境可知，前后句子之间为转折关系，而不是因果关系。
79．考查时态。句中陈述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时。
80．考查代词。句中of为介词，后面应加宾语，故此处应用代词的宾格形式，humans为us的同位语。
第二节：书面表达(满分25分)

参考范文：
Last week, we paid a visit to the exhibition hall in our city, where we saw a variety of robots.The robots on display were in different sizes and shapes. We saw some new types of robots which we hadn’t seen before，such as household robots, nursing robots and educational robots. Some robots could do a great number of things just like human beings, including playing chess, playing table tennis, playing the piano and drawing pictures.In addition, we watched two wonderful performances given by robots.
This visit not only broadened our horizons, but also aroused our interest in science.

With an increasing number of people going outside on holidays, leading global travel search site Tianxun.cn has selected three family friendly destinations for you to explore.
Queensland
You can dive at the Great Barrier Reef and appreciate the creatures in the sea, or take a ship from Brisbane to discover Moreton Island with wild dolphins providing an escort (护送)．
A hot air balloon ride will provide a bird’s eye view of Queensland and allow you to enjoy an amazing sunrise.A road trip around Fraser Island is well worthwhile with rainforests, freshwater lakes, and a diverse range of bats and birds guaranteeing an unforgettable scene.
Los Angeles
The children and young, from the heart, will love it! After exploring Disneyland Park with its many attractions, an exciting adventure waits at the Universal Studios Hollywood. The theme park allows you to experience world-class rides, such as King Kong 360-3D and Transformers: The Ride-3D．As you catch your breath afterwards you can take photos with film characters from the Hollywood film, like Minions(小黄人)from Despicable Me.
Jeju Island
Halla Mountain is the highest in South Korea and the area around it is a national park.You can have a bite in a restaurant or teahouse halfway up the mountain to give you more energy.
Another place worth visiting is Jeju Mini Mini Land, which holds more than 100 miniature (微型的)versions of the world’s most famous structures, including Beijing’s Forbidden City and the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
The Teddy Bear Museum exhibits lovely bears from all over the world, which are shown in different scenes and themes such as Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.

21．If your kid wants to get close to nature, he probably will visit __A__.
A．the Great Barrier Reef
B．Jeju Mini Mini Land

22．What can you do in the Universal Studios Hollywood？ __B__
A．Enjoy an amazing sunrise.
B．Experience world-class rides.
C．Climb the Halla Mountain.
D．Go to the Teddy Bear Museum.

A．A travel brochure. B．A science textbook.

B
For years, the giant squid (大王乌贼)had remained a modern mystery. Living in the dark depths of the ocean, the creature is difficult for scientists to observe directly.It had also managed to avoid all attempts to film it.That changed last July: for the first time ever, scientists were able to catch the giant squid on video in its natural habitat. They were amazed by what they saw.The scientists filmed the squid in the North Pacific Ocean, south of Tokyo, Japan.They followed it down to a depth of 2,952 feet.They shot more than 23 minutes of video before the squid swam off into even darker depths.The video footage will be released to the public later this month on The Discovery Channel.
Tsunemi Kubodera, a zoologist at Japan’s National Museum of Nature and Science, led the team that filmed the squid.The team went into the ocean in a small submarine with lights invisible to both humans and squid. Since giant squid eat smaller squid, the scientists released a small squid as bait (诱饵)．Then the scientists waited in the pitch black for the giant squid to approach.
The color video shows the creature floating vertically, eating the bait squid.The giant squid is 9 to 10 feet long and is missing its two longest tentacles (触须)．With those tentacles, it could have measured up to 26 feet long.It has huge black eyes the size of dinner plates，“It was shining and so beautiful，” Kubodera said.
Because the deep ocean is so unfriendly to humans，little is known about the giant squid.Scientists say catching the mysterious creature on video is an important step toward understanding it.For centuries, sailors had reported seeing a huge, ocean-dwelling beast, thought to be the giant squid.The creature is also believed to be the subject of the Nordic myth of the kraken, a sea creature that supposedly attacked ships in Scandinavian waters over the past thousands of years.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种生活在海洋深处的特殊乌贼——大王乌贼。
24．Why is it difficult to film the giant squid？ __C__
A．Because it is illegal to film the giant squid.
B．Because it is too expensive to make such a film.
C．Because the giant squid lives in the dark deep ocean.
D．Because the giant squid is dangerous to humans.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Living in the dark depths of the ocean，the creature is difficult for scientists to observe directly.”可知，因为大王乌贼生活在大洋深处，所以人们很难拍摄到它。
25．We can learn from the first paragraph that scientists __D__.
A．first saw the giant squid in the ocean
B．discovered a new sea creature in the ocean
C．have the ocean bottom secretly recorded on video
D．have first caught the legendary giant squid on video
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，科学家在北太平洋下到深度为2 952英尺的地方第一次拍摄了一段23分钟长的有关大王乌贼的视频。 因此D项正确。
26．According to the passage, the giant squid’s longest tentacles can be __A__.
A．16 to 17 feet long B．9 to 10 feet long
C．more than 26 feet long D．about 36 feet long
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，这只大王乌贼有9到10英尺长，算上它的触须可达到26英尺长，由此可得出这只大王乌贼最长的触须有16到17英尺长。
27. The scientists released a small squid in the ocean to __B__.
A．increase the number of the giant squid
B．trick the giant squid into coming out
C．make an educational film about it
D．show concern for the giant squid
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“Since giant squid eat smaller squid，the scientists released a small squid as bait(诱饵)．”可知，科学家在大洋里放一条小乌贼目的是将大王乌贼引诱出来。

Raising children has traditionally been a mother’s role.People think that kids have to be with mothers mostly, but the modern sociology says when a father is not involved in life, it leads to problems. Children abandoned or ignored by their fathers do not succeed as well as children in families where both parents are involved.
At the River House in Maryland, a church community is running a program called the Men’s Retreat with the purpose of helping men become better fathers. Here fathers can get parental advice.The program is also open to children who don’t have fathers in their lives.For them, the program is an opportunity to interact (互动)with mate role models.
Businessman Pavel says though the Men’s Retreat may take up some of his time to earn money, it has been a good opportunity to spend quality time with his son.He has realized that for boys, father is the first teacher.And the gathering is also a great chance to think about how to improve the relationship with his wife.
Program organizer Victor Visotski notes that the son is going along his father’s path and learns from him.The father’s role in a daughter’s life is as important as that in his son’s life.A father for a daughter is a hero and he is the first man she admires. It is important that the father creates a family atmosphere filled with love, because the daughter observes the behavior of her father closely.Mr.Visotski says a father must take his duties as a parent as seriously as his career.Setting aside quality time to spend with his child is a good start.

A．It is for kids who are abandoned.
B．It aims to help men relax after work.

31．According to Victor Visotski， __C__.

There’s no end of dangerous sports to try out in Southern Africa—bungee jumping, skydiving，water rafting.But for a new rush，how about swimming face to face with a killer shark?
The public seems interested in finding danger in this activity.Cape Town’ s aquarium (水族馆)has been filled with divers who want to swim with the sharks since it opened its tanks to paying visitors last month.Around 70 tourists aged between 12 and 40 have paid 275 rand(US $55)each to spend up to an hour with Maxine，Dee and Floyd，the aquarium’s three sharks.
And conservationists say the project should help change the damage done to the shark’s image by the popular movie Jaws.
“People will always pay money to be a bit daring，”said Paul Loetter, an aquarium diver. “Most people think every shark is dangerous，but they’ve got the wrong idea，”
Each visitor can swim with the sharks and other fish that share their tank, guarded by aquarium divers armed only with a stick to keep off any over-friendly sharks.
“This is part of a communication and education programme to show sharks are not as bad as everyone makes out，”said Tony McGyre, operations manager at the aquarium.
Len Compagno, head of the South African shark research center, agreed.“It’s no joke to play around with a big dog.In the same way, a three-metre-long shark could put a few holes in you，” he said.
32．We may infer that in the movie Jaws __D__.
A．sharks are hunted everywhere
B．sharks kill other sea animals
C．sharks are disappearing in the sea
D．sharks are man eaters
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第三段可推断，鲨鱼在电影《大白鲨》中的形象是不好的，对比现在人们敢于跟它们面对面地游泳，可知该影片中鲨鱼是吃人的，故D项正确。
33．What Len Compagno said really means that __B__.
A．you had better be careful when you get close to sharks
B．you needn’t be too serious about sharks
C．sharks are more dangerous than big dogs
D．sharks are as friendly to people as dogs
解析：推理判断题。根据最后两段可知，Tony McGyre与Len Compagno的观点一致，即：鲨鱼并非人们想象的那么坏，因此对待鲨鱼不必过于严肃。
34．The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to tell us that __A__.
A．sharks are not as bad as everyone makes out
B．people will always pay money to be a bit daring
C．there’s no end of dangerous sports in Southern Africa
D．the public seems interested in finding danger in swimming with a killer shark
解析：写作意图题。文章讲述了人们可以在水族馆里和鲨鱼一起游泳，科学家们进一步评价，鲨鱼并不像人们认为的那样危险，这也正是作者的写作目的。
35．We can team that Maxine，Dee and Floyd are __B__.
A．workers in the aquarium
B．the aquarium’s three sharks
C．conservationists
D．divers in the aquarium
解析：细节理解题。第二段讲述游客与鲨鱼一起游泳。由第二段最后一句话可知，Maxine，Dee和Floyd是三条鲨鱼的名字。

文章大意：作者三年前来到武汉，并成为一名老师。中国学生以及中国的大学生活令作者印象深刻。在中国的教学经历也使作者自身有所提升和改变。
解析：
61．考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，所填词在句中作谓语。主语I与动词attract为动宾关系，所以空处应用被动语态；结合时间状语从句“When I was a university student”可知，此处叙述的是过去的情况，故用一般过去时；且主句主语为I，故此处填was attracted。
62．考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，I与动词think为逻辑上的主谓关系，故此处填Thinking。
63．考查强调句型。所强调的部分是“the students I met...in general”，包含人和事物，所以空处应填that。
64．考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，动词connect与activity是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用connect的过去分词形式作后置定语。
65．考查名词的数。根据空后的were可知，此处应用名词的复数形式。
66．考查固定搭配。由语境可知，此处表示两种情况的对比，再结合关键词the contrary可知，此处应用介词on。on the contrary为固定搭配，意为“恰恰相反”。
67．考查代词。所填词在动词后，故用人称代词I的宾格形式me。
68．考查形容词。空处作表语，和后面的rewarding是并列成分，故应用形容词形式。
69．考查名词。thanks to为介词短语，其后可接名词作宾语，又结合“politeness and”可知，空处应填warmth。
70．考查副词。结合语境可知，此处表示“最重要的是”，修饰整个句子，应用副词，故此处应填importantly。
第四部分：写作(满分35分)
第一节：短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)

With the breakthrough of technology, I believe that their life will certainly become easier, happy and more colorful.
答案：

With the breakthrough of technology, I believe that life will certainly become easier, and more colorful.
解析：
71．考查动词短语。dream of/about...是固定短语，表示“梦想……；梦见……”。
72．考查冠词。此处表示独一无二的月亮，应用定冠词the。
73．考查连词。under the sea与in space是选择关系，故将and改为or。
74．考查副词。beside是介词，意为“在……旁边”。besides是副词，意为“而且，此外”。此处修饰整个句子，应用副词。故将Beside改为Besides。
75．考查名词。此处program是可数名词，且其前有more，故应用复数形式，故将program改为programs。
76．考查非谓语动词。介词短语instead of 后应用v-ing形式，故将go改为going。
77．考查定语从句。关系代词that不能引导非限制性定语从句。先行词指物，关系代词在从句中作主语，故将that改为which。
78．考查固定短语。go shopping是固定短语，表示“去购物”，故去掉to。
79．考查代词。结合语境可知，此处应表示“我认为我们的生活会更方便”，故将their改为our。

参考范文：
Dear Sir，
I’m Li Hua, a middle school student.I’m writing to tell you about the pollution of the ocean.
Last Sunday, I went to the seaside with my friends. With the sun shining and sea birds singing, we felt relaxed and happy.While we were having fun, something unpleasant caught our attention. We saw two visitors throwing rubbish into the water. In addition, we saw some dead fish, plastic bags and empty bottles floating on the surface of the water.
I hope that you can attach great importance to this problem and take effective measures to protect our ocean.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua

When dolphins get caught accidentally in fishing nets, the outcome is usually terrible.They either get injured or spend their lives in captivity (被关起来)entertaining humans.But while 13 year-old Sampal’s story began that way, it has a perfect fairy-tale ending.
Sampal’s story began in 2011, when she was accidentally caught by fishermen in the waters off South Korea.However，instead of letting her go, the men sold her to an aquarium. Here, she was placed in a small pool where she spent her days performing tricks for visitors.
Sampal was not destined to spend her life in captivity. Shocked by the conditions she was living in, South Korean animal advocates began to help her get free.In 2013, the country’s highest court issued a release order for not just Sampal, but also another two dolphins at the Korean Zoo.At the end of May, the dolphins were handed to the Korean Animal Welfare Association where experts began their work to set the dolphins free, a two-month process that involves placing them inside a sea pen in the open waters.However，Sampal was too impatient to wait that long.On June 22nd, the clever little dolphin found a tiny tear in the net and escaped.
For those of you wondering if Sampal may have been a little hurried in her departure, here is some better news.Researchers recently tracked her down 60 miles from where she had escaped and found she was swimming happily with 50 other dolphins that they believe were members of the group she was originally swimming with three years ago.
As for the others, one of them is reportedly hanging out with two dolphins from its original group, while the other still seems to be looking for the right group to join.The best news is that all of them seem to have forgotten their captivity experience and appear to be playing happily!
文章大意：描述了一只被抓的小海豚，寻找机会逃走，并重返大海的故事。
24．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 probably mean？ __D__
A．Sampal didn’t like spending her life in a pool.
B．Sampal would have to lose her freedom.
C．Sampal’s life was brought back to normal.
D．Sampal would certainly be helped by people.
解析：句意猜测题。划线句子的意思是：小海豚Sampal命中注定不会被终身囚禁。从该句后面的内容来看，一些动物保护者想方设法营救被人类捕捉的动物，所以小海豚Sampal一定会受到人们的帮助，所以答案选D。
25．Which of the following statements is true？ __B__
A．Sampal lived a happy life in the aquarium.
B．The process of setting a dolphin free is long.
C．The order of Korean highest court was intended for Sampal.
D．Sampal was found weeping in the net before she escaped.
解析：细节理解题。从第三段．..experts began their work to set the dolphins free，a two-month process that involves placing them inside a sea pen in the open waters.一句话可知，放生海豚是一个很漫长的过程，需要两个月的时间，要先把它们放在开阔水域中的围栏(pen)里才行。
26．What was Sampal doing when researchers found her again？ __C__
A．She was trying to escape from the net.
B．She was waiting impatiently fur her companions.
C．She was swimming with her group members.
D．She was looking for the right group to join.
解析：细节理解题。从倒数第二段“Researchers recently tracked her down 60 miles from where she had escaped and found she was swimming happily with 50 other dolphins that they believe were members of the group she was originally swimming with three years ago.”可知，当研究人员发现Sampal的时候，她正在和她以前的群体成员一起游泳。
27．We can infer from the last paragraph that __A__.
A．dolphins like living in groups
B．dolphins like playing games
C．dolphins are forgetful
D．dolphins are good at looking fur partners
解析：推理判断题。从文章最后一段的内容可知，三只被释放的海豚都已经找到或正在寻找他们原来的群体，由此推断，海豚喜欢群居生活。
C
Ahmad is the founder of Conpia, which she describes as “match.com meets Uber for food recovery”．Companies use the Copia app to report when they have leftover food, what kind, and how much.When recipients (受助者) such as shelters, soup kitchens, and agencies first register with Copia, they indicate how many people they need to feed, on what days, and what kind of food they’ll take.Copia makes a profit from the fees that companies pay to remove leftover food; the companies receive a tax write-off for their food donations.
How did Ahmad create Copia? As a senior at UC Berkeley，she found nearly 50 million Americans are at the risk of going hungry every day, while more than 133 billion pounds of eatable food is deserted each year.Ahmad started a student group that recovered food from the campus and distributed it to local non-profit organizations.
As rewarding as this was, the inefficiencies(低效)bothered her.One day, she got a call from the dining hall manager, who had 500 sandwiches left over from an event.She rented a car, loaded it with the food.She found takers for only 25 sandwiches and ended up giving out the rest at a nearby park.
“I remember thinking how cool it would be if people who had food could say，’ Hey, we have stuff，’and people who needed it could speak up, and then we could connect the two.”
After she graduated, Ahmad launched Copia earlier this year.It operates in 40 cities in Northern California and has served over 700,000 people.Its biggest success—and challenge—10 date was this past Super Bowl: Copia recovered more than 14 tons of food，which fed more than 23,000 people.
Despite her busy schedule, Ahmad tries to do one food pickup a week.“When you get to the shelter，” she says，“someone opens the door, sees all the food, and says，’If you hadn’t come today, 270 women wouldn’t have eaten.’And that’s when I’m like，’This is why I do what I do.’”
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了科皮亚(Copia)网站的创始人及其运作方式。
28．Who will benefit from the Copia app？ __B__
A．Hungry people living ill Copia.
B．Registered companies donating food.
C．Charity organizations serving the poor.
D．Food recovery companies removing food.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段第二句及最后一句可知，捐赠食品的那些注册公司可以获得收益。
29．What made Ahmad create the app？ __D__
A．Too much food is wasted.
B．Too many people go hungry.
C．Her group’s work is rewarding.
D．Her group’s work doesn’t go well.
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段第一句可知，她的团队工作不顺利。
30．What is Ahmad really proud of？ __C__
A．She founds Copia and makes a profit.
B．She connects the companies and recipients.
C．She helps hungry people go through hard time.
D．She enjoys the biggest success—the Super Bowl.
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知，她最大的成功就是“帮助饥饿的人们渡过难关”。
31．What’s Copia’s operating model？ __C__
A．Consumer to consumer.
B．Production to consumer.
C．Business to consumer.
D．Business to business.
解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知，科皮亚的操作模式是“由企业到消费者”。
D
Wearable sensors (传感器)could one day interpret the gestures in sign language and translate them into English, providing a high-tech solution to communication problems between deaf people and those who don’t understand sign language.
Engineers at Texas A & M University are developing a wearable device that can sense movement and muscle activity in a person’s arms.The device works by figuring out the gestures a person is making by using two sets of sensors: one that responds to the motion of the wrist and the other to the muscular movements in the arm.A program then wirelessly receives this information and changes the data into the English translation.“Most of the technology was based on visionor camera-based solutions，”said study lead researcher Roozbeh Jafari, an associate professor of biomedical engineering at Texas A&M University.
These existing designs, Jafari said, are not enough，because often when someone is talking with sign language, he or she is using hand gestures combined with specific finger movements.“I thought maybe we should look into combining motion sensors and muscle activation，” Jafari told Live Science.“And the idea here was to build a wearable device.”
The researchers built a system that can recognize words that people use most commonly in their daily conversations.Jafari said that once the team starts expanding the program, the engineers will include more words that are less frequently used, in order to build up a more substantial vocabulary.
One drawback of it is that the system has to be “trained” to respond to each individual that wears the device, Jafari said.This training process involves asking the user to repeat or do each hand gesture a couple of times, which can take up to 30 minutes to complete.
文章大意：得克萨斯农工大学的工程师正在研发一种可穿戴设备：它能利用传感器感应腕部和手臂的动作，并将其转译成英语。这将为失聪者和不懂手语的人提供方便。
32．How does the new device work？ __D__
A．By figuring out gestures from fingers.
B．By connecting the wrist and the fingers.
C．By linking the arm and the fingers.
D．By collecting information from the wrist and the arm.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，该设备配有两套传感装置：一套感应腕部的动作，另一套感应手臂肌肉的动作。故选D项。
33．The researchers eventually decided on a wearable device to __A__.
A．make it easier to monitor the gestures when people are talking
B．make the translation process faster
C．compete with existing designs
D．make it user-friendly
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段内容和第二段第一句可知，研究人员决定研制可穿戴设备是为了使失聪者和不懂手语的人交流时更方便监测各种手势。
34．We can replace the underlined word in Paragraph 4 by“ __C__ ”．
A．necessary B．influential
C．extensive D．essential
解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“...expanding the program，...used...”可知，目前这一设备只收录了最常用的词汇，将来还会收录更多低频使用的词汇，由此可知，substantial在此表示“大量的”。extensive意为“广泛的；大量的”。故选C项。
35．What can we infer from the text？ __B__
A．The device has greatly increased in sales.
B．The device still requires much improvement.
C．We should work out of 30 minutes.
D．We should be trained to respond quickly.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“This training process involves...to complete.”可知，要使用这一设备，使用者需要先把所有的手势做几遍，这是该设备的缺陷，由此可推测，该设备还有改进的空间。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Ten years ago, many people thought that the age of physical books was coming to an end. __36.D__ Soon, we’d all be reading on little electronic screens and laughing at the memory of places called “libraries” and “bookshops”．
__ 37.F__ At least in the UK, sales of e-books are falling while sales of physical books are rising. More surprisingly, it’s young people who are buying the most physical books. More than 60 percent of 16-to 24-year-olds preferred printed books to e-books.The most popular reason was: “I like to hold the product.”
__38.A__ It often starts with the way they acquire them.Many buyers of books like to sign their names on the inside cover when they’ve bought one. And they carry books around with them everywhere.If the cover gets bent or there’s a stain made on the pages from coffee or food, all will be better.These accidents make the book even more personal. __39.G__ Turning the pages while reading a story in our favorite armchair enters our memory forever.Physical books are precious to us as items of jewelry or photographs of family members.
This“friendship”people develop with books isn’t just sentimental (情感的). Research has also shown that readers remember more information from physical books than electronic ones.However, there’s no doubt that e-books are here to stay. __40.C__ But it’s also certain that physical books, which have been in production since the fifteenth century, are here to stay, too.
A．Books become very personal objects to lovers of reading.
B．They will surely replace physical books some day.
C．It is not simply a “here today, gone tomorrow” phenomenon.
D．The companion of humans for hundreds of years was about to die out.
E．Young people are fond of devices like Kindles and iPads.
F．However, it doesn’t seem true.
G．It’s as if readers of physical books make friends with them.
文章大意：本文介绍了在电子书盛行的时代，实体书仍大量存在的原因：实体书会成为读书爱好者的私人物品，人们能记住更多从实体书中获得的信息。
解析：
36．上文提到，十年前许多人认为实体书的时代即将结束，D项内容 可与此衔接，故选D项。
37．根据下文可知，至少在英国，电子书的销量在减少而实体书的销量在增加，这说明第一段中提到的人们的预测是错误的，故选F项。
38．下文具体提到实体书如何成为阅读爱好者的私人物品，故选A项。personal是解题关键词。
39．结合空格前一句可知，一些意外事件使得实体书更加私人化，这个过程好像人们在与实体书交朋友，故选G项。
40．结合上文可知，电子书是存在的，这不是一种今天存在明天就消失的现象，C项内容与上文衔接，故选C项。

第二节(共10分；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
As the monitor as well as one of the top students in my class, I am always a proud boy.Sometimes I rely so much on __61.myself__ (me)that I won’t follow others’ suggestions.And it was because of my blind pride that I made __62.a__ stupid mistake in a physics competition __63.which/that__ needed not only personal ability __64.but(also)__ teamwork.During the competition，I thought I performed __65.better__ (well)than my partners and it was I that won the applause of the audience, so I forgot __66.to work__ (work)together with them.When our group were preparing for the last question，one of my __67.partners__ (partner)told me that there was something wrong with our last question’s answer and suggested __68.checking__ (check)it out.But I was so proud that I didn’t take his advice.To my surprise，our answer was wrong and we failed.If I __69.had taken__ (take)his advice at that moment, we would not have failed. __70.Having experienced__ (experience)the failure, I realize that it is important to listen to others’ opinions.
解析：
61．考查反身代词。根据下文“I won’t follow others’ suggestions”可知，此处说的是依靠我自己。
62．考查冠词。make a mistake表示“犯了一个错误”，stupid不是以元音音素开头，故用不定冠词a。
63．考查定语从句。此处为定语从句，先行词为a physics competition，指物，关系词在从句中作主语。
64．考查固定搭配。not only...but also...为固定搭配，表示“不但……而且……”。
65．考查副词比较级。根据后面的than可以知道此处用比较级。
66．考查动词不定式。forget to do表示“忘了做要做的事情”。
67．考查名词的形式。在one of后要接复数名词。
68．考查非谓语动词。suggest doing表示“建议做某事”。
69．考查虚拟语气。根据主句would not have failed可知，此处表示与过去事实相反。
70．考查非谓语动词。由句子结构可知，此处用非谓语动词形式作状语，主语I与experience之间为主谓关系，非谓语动词应该用现在分词形式，并且experience这一动作发生在谓语动词realize之前，而且空格位于句首，故用Having experienced。

答案：
Dear Jim，

Li Hua
解析：
71．考查固定短语。would like to do是固定搭配，所以在would like和tell间加to。
72．考查现在分词。现在分词表主动，在句中作状语表位置。
73．考查名词单复数。这里是说有6栋楼，所以用复数形式buildings。
74．考查冠词。这里area是元音音素开头，前用an，意思是：一个36平方米面积的公寓。
75．考查介词。在第几层用on。
76．考查时态。这里应该保持时态一致。全文都是一般现在时，这里也应该是，主语是It，谓语动词用is。
77．考查动词搭配。enter是及物动词，其后直接跟宾语，无须介词。
78．考查形容词。is后用形容词bright作表语，brightly是副词，常作状语。
79．考查定语从句。此处作状语，故需用关系副词，又因此处表示地点，故用 where。
80．考查代词。此处代指my flat，故用单数形式，所以把them改为it。

With my hands and knees on the floor of the airplane, I was searching for an old lady’s missing hearing aid during the flight from Sydney to Los Angeles. It occurred to me that this might not be the most dignified posture for a Buddhist nun(修女)．
I had seen the old lady from the seat in front of me as she，walked up and down the passage with a flashlight.I asked a few times what was wrong, but she didn’t answer at first—she couldn’t hear me.She was wearing a woolen coat.Judging from her accent，she came from Eastern Europe.
Do you know what hearing aids cost? Thousands, especially for the new tiny hidden-in-the-ear type she described.It takes a long time for an appointment to make a new one and many doctor visits to get the thing adjusted right.Therefore, my dignity seemed less important than finding that hearing aid.But how did one find a tiny black object in a shadowy jet cabin?
The lady wasn’t even sure where or when she had lost it.At one point, a couple of flight attendants did a random search around the lady’s seat; I wasn’t impressed.They left suggesting that she search the seat of her previous flight! My flashlight turned up all kinds of small objects—bits of plastic, broken pieces of headphones...The old lady said that she gave up.Yet I couldn’t.After we landed, as passengers streamed past us, I insisted that the lady move aside while awaiting her wheelchair.Then I got into a real down and dirty search among the dust under her seat and on the floor.
Look! A little peanut－sized shiny black object caught the light of my flashlight in a floor crack near her seat.What a rush! “I find it！” With great astonishment and gratitude, the old lady responded, “I don’t have the words to express my thanks！”
文章大意：在飞机上，一位老人的助听器掉落了，经过作者坚持不懈的努力，终于帮她找到了，她感激得无法用语言表达对作者的感谢。
24．Why did the author put her hands and knees on the floor？ __B__
A．She is a religious Buddhist nun.
B．She helped the old lady look for her hearing aid.
C．She fell down from her seat.
D．She wanted to stand out among the passengers.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“...I was searching for an old lady’s missing hearing aid during the flight...”可知，作者趴在地上是在帮老人找掉落的助听器。
25．What do we know about the old lady？ __C__
A．She ignored the author’s question on purpose.
B．She is an American.
C．It was difficult for her to get a new hearing aid.
D．She lost her hearing aid on purpose.
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It takes a long time for an appointment to make a new one and many doctor visits to get the thing adjusted right.”可知配到合适的助听器并非易事，要多次预约医生。
26．Where was the hearing aid found？ __A__
A．Close to the old lady’s seat. B．On the previous flight.
C．In the wheelchair. D．In another jet cabin.

More and more people are choosing to spend their holidays in the UK rather than travel abroad.
In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK, and more and more British people started traveling abroad for their summer holidays.After all, the British weather wasn’t very good, even in summer, so a lot of British people left the UK for a vacation. Particularly popular with families on a budget was the “ package holiday ”， where the cost of flights and hotels was offered as one discounted price by travel agents.
In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became wealthier on average, or at least had more money left after they spent on the living cost.As a result, they started to go abroad in groups, to places such as Spain and Greece.
British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. Climate change means that the UK now has a hotter climate than before, so people do not need to go abroad to find good weather. Also, the credit problem has affected the international value of the British pound, so going abroad is more expensive than it used to be.As a result, more and more British people are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK.
This year, British hotels in areas such as the English Lake District have seen a 40 percent increase in booking compared with last year.That rise is mainly owing to the British staying in their own country for their holidays. In addition, however, foreign tourists are now finding the UK cheaper to visit than previously.
In the UK, the national tourism industry—when people go on holiday in their own country—is healthier than it has been in decades. The UK has always been famous for its international explorers. It is only just starting to discover itself, however.
文章大意：越来越多的英国人选择在本国而不是出国度假。
28．The underlined phrase “package holiday” in Paragraph 2 means a holiday __D__.
A．offered by hotels B．with a package
C．including flights D．with less expense
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段倒数第一句可知特别受欢迎的是“包价度假旅游”，这里的机票和酒店的费用是按旅行社的折扣价提供的。
29．We can infer from the passage that __C__.
A．the value of British pound has become a huge problem
B．young people in the UK spend more than their parents
C．British people think of a hot summer as good weather
D．many Greek people leave for the UK for their business
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Climate change means that the UK now has a hotterclimate than before，so people do not need to go abroad to find good weather.”气候变化意味着英国现在比以前有了更热的气候，所以人们不必到国外去寻找好天气，可知选C。
30．Why do some British hotels have an increase in booking this year？ __C__
A．Because many people have seen the Lake District.
B．Because hotels in the Lake District are very cheap.
C．Because more British spend their holidays home.
D．Because foreign tourists have found these hotels.
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第五段“That rise is mainly owing to the British staying in their own country for their holidays.”这种增长主要是由于英国人在他们自己的国家度假，可知选C。
31．What’s the writer’s attitude towards the British tourism industry？ __A__
A．Optimistic. B．Negative.
C．Doubtful. D．Neutral.
解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第一句可知当人们在他们自己的国家度假时，英国的国家旅游业比过去更加健康了，因此作者的态度是乐观的。

Bacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts.The microorganisms(微生物) from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station，so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week.How is NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem？It’s turning to a bunch of high school kids.But not just any kids.It is depending on NASA HUNCH high school classrooms，like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport，New York.
HUNCH is designed to connect high school class-rooms with NASA engineers.For the past two years，Gordon’s students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity，and they think they’re close to a solution(解决方案)．“We don’t give the students any breaks.They have to do it just like NASA engineers，”says Florence Gold，a project manager.
“There are no tests，” Gordon says.“There is no graded homework.There almost are no grades，other than’Are you working towards your goal？’ Basically，it’s ’I’ve got to produce this product and then，at the end of the year，present it to NASA．’Engineers come and really do an in-person review，and...it’s not a very nice thing at times.It’s a hard business review of your product.”
Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact (影响) on college admissions and practical life skills.“These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back. I don’t teach.”And that annoying bacteria？Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem，readying a workable solution to test in space.

33．What is the purpose of the HUNCH program？ __D__
A．To strengthen teacher-student relationships.
B．To sharpen students’ communication skills.
C．To allow students to experience zero gravity.
D．To link space technology with school education.

34．What do the NASA engineers do for the students in the program？ __A__
A．Check their product. B．Guide project designs.
C．Adjust work schedules. D．Grade their homework.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的最后两句“Engineers come and really do an in-person review...It’s a hard business review of your product.”可知，NASA工程师亲自检查那些高中学生的产品，故答案为A。
35．What is the best title for the text？ __B__
A．NASA：The Home of Astronauts
B．Space：The Final Homework Frontier
C．Nature：An Outdoor Classroom
D．HUNCH：A College Admission Reform
解析：标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了一个项目：把高中的教室教学与太空的研究联系起来，使学生们得到NASA工程师们的指导。因此在选标题时既要有太空，还要有学生，选项B将其完美地结合了起来，故答案为B。

How to relax your mind
Nowadays, people everywhere seem to find less and less time available to them, and more and more things to achieve.It’s quite common to find people running around like a headless chicken meeting deadlines that they create.One doesn’t have to live this way, in stress and struggles. __36.E__
Breathing—I can’t stress enough the importance of learning how to breathe properly, not only when you’re stressed, but at all times that you can.Learning how to breathe properly at all times is essential.You should try to deepen and lengthen your breath to lower the stress level and promote relaxation. __37.F__
Relaxing—We often think that just going to the gym and working out is the right way to go to relax ourselves. __38.C__ A good hard workout is good from time to time，but you are still running at full steam ahead and not giving yourself time to relax.So lighting some fragrant candles，taking a slow hot bath or a shower, or meditating for even 10 minutes will do wonders to help you relax your mind and get out of the stress zone.
Let it all out— __39.G__ So calling or meeting up with a person who can listen and empathize with us is often a great way to relax.It’s important that we don’t go into victim mode and get too negative.When we let out our frustrations, it should be done in a positive manner, and with light-heartedness, even joking about the stress we’re under.
__40.B__ —Probably one of the most difficult skills at first to master, but in the end one of the most rewarding to learn in our fast-paced society is the attitude of gratitude.We can do some gratitude list making right on the spot to get out of our heads and away from all that we wish we had but don’t, and to be thankful for all that we do have.I swear learning how to do this will relax you in a way that will change your life for the better.
Hopefully this article helped you to find an answer to your question about how to relax your mind from stress.Try these techniques and let us know what works best for you.
A．Be thankful to your friends
B．Be grateful for what you have
C．But this pace doesn’t do much for our mind or stress levels.
D．You can either lie down on the floor or sit comfortably to relax yourself.
E．In this article we will present a few tips on how to relax your mind from stress.

答案：
One day, we were eating an early dinner it rained heavily outside.And then we received a special delivery.

For the first time in my life, I a dog of my own.Pumpkin helped me in some .It taught me what meant to be responsible another life.It also made me overcome fear of animals.
解析：
71．考查固定用法。此处为be doing...when...正在做……，这时……是固定用法，when是并列连词。
72．考查冠词。此处泛指一只可怜的狗，用不定冠词。
73．考查形容词。此处stay是系动词，其后跟形容词作表语。
74．考查动词接复合宾语。此处为name后跟复合宾语，即name＋宾语＋宾语补足语，因此此处was多余。
75．考查let的用法。此处为let sb.do sth.让某人做某事，let是使役动词，后用不带to的不定式作宾语补足语。
76．考查时态。此处根据全文时态判断，此处该用一般过去时。
77．考查名词的复数形式。此处way是可数名词，前面有some，故用复数形式。
78．考查it作形式主语。此处为it作形式主语，指代真正的主语不定式短语to be responsible for another life。
79．考查介词。此处为固定搭配be responsible for对……负有责任。
80．考查代词。此物主代词指我对动物的恐惧，作定语，用形容词性物主代词。

参考范文：
Dear David，
I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t perform well in the contest of Chinese calligraphy and that you are feeling discouraged. I’m writing to discuss the problem with you, which I hope might give you some support and comfort.
I can quite understand why you are in a bad mood, since it’s common and natural for people faced with setbacks to feel sad.But as the saying goes, failure is the mother of success.It is suggested that you find out the reason for your failure and take heart again. As far as I’m concerned, it is likely that you are not well prepared for the contest, because Chinese calligraphy is a kind of time-consuming art.Therefore, you’re supposed to practise more from now on.Besides, you might lack some experience of the contest, in which case you are encouraged to take part in more activities.
I am fully convinced that you will cheer up soon and make greater progress next time.Looking forward to your reply.
Yours，
Li Hua
