W：I agree.Hmm，right.What I'd like to do，if it's OK with you，is fix an appointment so we can meet and talk more about this.It wouldn't be anything formal，not an interview or anything like that.Er，how are you fixed for Tuesday September 9th at 4：30?
M：Ah，I'm sorry.I have a lesson then.Would Wednesday be possible?
W：The 10th？Yes，that would be fine.
Text 10
W：This summer I took part in a really interesting project.It's called One-Day Clean-up and its aim is to clear the world's rubbish of the natural environment.I heard about its work from my neighbors who used to take part some years ago.I thought it would be fun and persuaded a couple of my cousins to come along with me.But it wouldn't matter if you took part on your own.You'd soon make friends with other people there.Most of the people there were teenagers.We were a very international group in my team.Over half of the people there were from Australia，like me，but there were also people from China，Thailand and the USA．Most teams were working on the south coast of the country，but mine was working on the east.We had to pick up all the rubbish that we could find at the seaside.It has all made me realize how important it is for everyone to be aware of the environment. I'm determined now to get my family to recycle as much as possible.It'll be worth it if we can make our seas safer for all those beautiful sea animals.So，if you'd like to join me in taking part in this day next year，it'll be on January 11th.The focus on that day will be on getting rubbish out of rivers.There'll be a day later in the year on cleaning up woodlands.

I live in Minnesota, which is unfairly famous for terrible winters. Buffalo is far more wintry, whereas Seattle's winters are more bitter. Our winters tend to be brilliantly sunny and cheerful. But, of course, it's different for a visitor.
Lightweight thermal (保暖的) wear is good. Back in the day, we wore layers and layers of heavy woolens. A boy of 13 carrying 35 pounds of wet wool on his back does not feel very cold. Today you can buy outfits filled with goose feathers as well as thermal boots and caps to keep you warm.
When I was a youth, there was no such phrase as global warming. We never got warm, not even at night, when we slept under piles of blankets because Dad believed that if you couldn't see your breath when you talked, then the thermostat was turned up too high and you were wasting fuel. So 45 degrees was room temperature, and we wore long woolens to bed.
We arose in the cold, dark dawn, and walked forth into the snowstorm to catch the school bus.We huddled (蜷缩) by the highway，praying for the bus to come, while wolves moved around eyeballing us for signs of sleepiness. When you have survived wolves，then the winters of today are a walk in the park.
Enduring winter is only a start—embracing (拥抱) winter is what you should struggle for. Winter gives a sense of purpose and saves one from a life of self－gratification, lying down and posting photos on Facebook. You have promises to keep.A sidewalk to clear. Two inches of snow over a layer of ice—you may as well set a leg trap for the elderly as leave the walk unswept.
You have children to raise. Remove their fingers from their smart phones, and lead them outdoors so they can absorb the wisdom of winter. We are animals.Life is not mainly about self－expression. It is about finding food and clothing and shelter, about sticking with the pack and not wandering off.Everyone is just as cold as you. No complaining.
文章大意：虽然童年时冬天给作者带来的并不是愉快的回忆，但是成年后作者体会到不同的冬天。所以作者希望大家不要惧怕严寒，冬天一定要到户外活动，去感受冬天、拥抱冬天。
24．What are Minnesota's winters like in the author's eyes？ A
A．They are wonderful.
B．They are unbearable.
C．They are colder than Buffalo's.
D．They are comfortable for visitors.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的“unfairly famous for terrible winters”及“brilliantly sunny and cheerful”可知，作者认为明尼苏达州的冬天还是相当好的。
25．When the author was young， B .
A．he kept talking to keep warm
B．he suffered from winters' nights
C．his dad tried his best to warm him
D．his room was always at a high temperature
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的“We never got warm，not even at night”及“45 degrees was room temperature，and we wore long woolens to bed”可知，作者小时候没有现在这么好的取暖设备，漫漫冬夜，寒冷难耐。
26．The underlined part “the winters of today are a walk in the park” in Paragraph 4 implies that today's winters are D .
A．warm B．quiet
C．short D．pleasant
解析：句意理解题。根据第四段的“...praying for the bus to come, while wolves moved around eyeballing us for signs of sleepiness. When you have survived wolves”可知，作者小时候在等校车时，不仅要忍受冬天的寒冷，还是提防虎视眈眈的狼。而现在人们不用再担心狼了，所以与以前相比，冬天要舒适得多。
27．The author suggests that people C .
A．store enough food for cold winters
B．lend the neighbors a helping hand
C．step outside and appreciate winters
D．say goodbye to modern technology
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“embracing winter”及最后一段的“absorb the wisdom of winter”可知，作者希望大家不要惧怕严寒，冬天一定要到户外活动，去感受冬天、拥抱冬天。
C
When I went away to college，I chose to go to a large school in another state in an attempt to never again see those popular girls, the ones who drove quiet girls like me headlong into the arms of dusty books. Since I didn't know a soul at this university, I volunteered for a club to make friends. That's how I ended up one winter evening standing outside the student union, waiting for the night's famous speaker to drive up. My assignment was to escort (护送) her to the auditorium where her fans eagerly waited to hear Maya Angelou, author of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.
As showtime neared, Angelou's car pulled up.When its door opened，Angelou and a female friend exited，each wearing head-to-toe fur coats.I nervously guided the pair inside. Angelou was ready to sweep onstage, but first, there was her fur coat. I offered to babysit it backstage to make sure it was safe.
“No，” she said. She looked out at the audience. “You need to get out there and live.”
So I found a front－row seat and heard, for the first time，a book come alive in an author's own voice.The audience clapped and cheered as they went along on the ride of this performance.
I wish I could say that my life changed then.But out of college，I went deeper into my interior self，taking a job that required little human contact.A few years later，I became a newspaper editor，which required talking to many people.For those times，I depended on index (索引) cards.But I reminded myself that Angelou hadn't used notes.
Today，I'm in my 50s.I am speaking comfortably about what I really know to be true.I get out there now and live.
文章大意：作者讲述了一位著名的演说家所说的话和表演对自己的深远影响。
28．What kind of person did the author use to be？ D
A．Brave. B．Kind.
C．Careless. D．Shy.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的“never again see those popular girls，the ones who drove quiet girls like me”可推测，作者应该是个比较腼腆的女孩。
29．Why did Angelou decline the author's offer to take care of her fur coat？ C
A．She wouldn't trust a stranger with it.
B．She thought it was the duty of her assistant.
C．She wanted the author to enjoy the performance.
D．She thought it was safe enough to put it backstage.
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段Angelou所说的话“You need to get out there and live.”和下文作者在观众席坐下来可知，Angelou希望作者把时间用在该用的地方，应该去看表演而不是看衣服。
30．Soon after graduating from college, the author B .
A．found a job as a newspaper editor
B．kept shutting herself in her own world
C．changed a lot under Angelou's influence
D．felt more confident when speaking in public
解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“I wish I could say...human contact.”可知，作者刚毕业时，并未因Angelou的话而改变，还是把自己封闭起来。
31．What would be the best title for the text？ A
A．Get Out There and Live
B．The Night I Met Angelou
C．Speak from Your Inner Self
D．My Friendship with Angelou
解析：标题归纳题。根据第三段Angelou所说的话“You need to get out there and live.”和文章结尾“I get out there now and live.”可知，A项作标题表现出Angelou对本文作者的影响以及作者自身的改变，非常贴切。
D
You may be surprised to learn that English gets 30 to 45 percent of its words from French.The reason goes back to the year 1066，when Norman forces invaded(入侵)what is now Britain.The Normans were from northern France and spoke French.During the Norman occupation，French became the language of England's rulers and wealthy class.This lasted for more than 300 years.Other people in England continued to speak English during this period.
Over time，the two languages combined and shared words.Some researchers believe that about 10,000 French words eventually entered the English language.However，although English took many French words，their meanings have not always stayed the same.Sometimes the differences in meanings can be very important，and lead to funny or strange situations if the words are used in the wrong way.
Take，for example，the French word college.In English，college can often be used in place of the word university，or sometimes as a school within a university.However，in French，college actually means “middle school”，or the level of schooling for students in grades five or six through eight.
There are many other similar words in the two languages with completely different meanings.In English，the word chat is a verb which means “to talk casually”； but in French，the word chat is the word for an animal: a cat.
If an English speaker says someone is jolly，that means they are cheerful or friendly.But in French，jolie means someone is good-looking or pleasant to look at.In any case，both are nice things to say to someone.
文章大意：本文讲述的是“英语中的法语单词”。文中举例说明了它们不同的含义。
32．What does the author stress about the French words in English？ D
A．Their spelling forms.
B．Their changes in history.
C．Their puzzles for English.
D．Their different meanings.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中“However，although English took many French words，their meanings have not always stayed the same.Sometimes the differences in meanings can be very important，and lead to funny or strange situations if the words are used in the wrong way.”可知，作者对英语中的法语单词强调了它们的不同含义。故选D。
33．What does a Frenchman mean if he says he likes a chat？ A
A．He likes a kind of pet.
B．He wants to have a talk.
C．He hates to speak English.
D．He prefers to chat in French.
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中“In English，the word chat is a verb which means “to talk casually”； but in French，the word chat is the word for an animal: a cat.”可知，如果一个法国人说他喜欢a chat，他的意思是“他喜欢一种宠物。”故选A。
34．What is the French word “jolie” used to do？ B
A．Replace “jolly” in English.
B．Describe people's looks.
C．Refer to people's happiness.
D．Prove the change in French.
解析：词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“But in French，jolie means someone is good-looking or pleasant to look at.In any case，both are nice things to say to someone.但在法语中，jolie的意思是说某人长得好看或看上去是令人愉快的。无论如何，这两件事对某人来说都是件好事。”由此可知划线词的意思是“描述人的外表。”故选B。
35．What is the text mainly about？ C
A．Comparison between two languages.
B．Difficulty in grasping English.
C．French words in English.
D．Development of English.
解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“You may be surprised to learn that English gets 30 to 45 percent of its words from French.”和第二段中“Over time，the two languages combined and shared words.Some researchers believe that about 10,000 French words eventually entered the English language.”可知，本文讲述的是“英语中的法语单词”。故选C。
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。
Are you truly happy? Do you ever know what it means to be happy and what it takes to achieve happiness? 36.E The following are a few tips that I follow to create happiness in my life.
Make a plan for attaining goals that you believe will make you happy.Your mood will very likely increase if you are going after something you value.
Surround yourself with happy people.It is easy to begin to think negatively when you are surrounded by people who think that way. 37.G
When something goes wrong，try to figure out a solution instead of being absorbed in self-pity.Truly happy people don't allow setbacks to affect their mood because they know that with a little thought they can turn the circumstances back to their favor.
38.C These few minutes will give you the opportunity to focus on the positive things in your life and will lead you to continuous happiness.
39.D Whether you treat yourself to lunch，take a long，relaxing bath or simply spend a few extra minutes on your appearance，you will be subconsciously putting yourself in a better mood.
Keeping healthy is another way to achieve happiness. 40.F
A．Cheerfulness doesn't always imply happiness.
B．Find a way to joke about a situation that would otherwise make you happy.
C．Spend a few minutes each day thinking about the things that make you happy.
D．It's also important to take some time each day to do something nice for yourself.
E．These are important questions for anyone who is seeking happiness to ask themselves.
F．Being overweight or not eating nutritious foods can have a negative effect on your mood.
G．On the contrary，if you are around people who are happy，their emotional states will be infectious.
文章大意：本文向我们讲述了如何追求幸福的一些规则：要和积极的人在一起。要经常想一想那些让自己感觉快乐的事情，做一些让我们幸福的事情。
解析：
36．考查上下文理解和推理判断。前两句连续提出了三个问题，你真正幸福吗？你知道幸福意味着什么吗？要获得幸福需要什么？这几个问题对于追求幸福的人来说都很重要，故选E。
37．考查上下文理解和推理判断。上文“It is easy to begin to think negatively when you are surrounded by people who think that way.”提及如果你的周围都是一些消极的人，那么你也会变得消极。因此接下来应该讲的是如果你周围的人是积极的，你也会很积极。故选G。
38．考查上下文理解和推理判断。由下一句“These few minutes will give you the opportunity to focus on the positive things in your life and will lead you to continuous happiness.”可知，这几分钟会让你有机会专注于生活中积极的事情，并引导你获得持续的快乐，说明我们要每天留点时间来思考那些让我们开心的事情。因此推断C项符合语境。故选C。
39．考查上下文理解和推理判断。由下一句“Whether you treat yourself to lunch，take a long，relaxing bath or simply spend a few extra minutes on your appearance，you will be subconsciously putting yourself in a better mood.”建议无论你是请自己吃午饭，放松地洗一个澡，还是只是多花几分钟在自己的外表上，你都会下意识地让自己心情更好。因此每天花点时间为自己做点好事也很重要。故选D。
40．考查上下文理解和推理判断。由上文“Keeping healthy is another way to achieve happiness.”可知，保持健康的生活方式能让我们幸福，因此超重或者不吃有营养的食品会对我们的心情有不好的影响。故选F。

文章大意：本文为一篇记叙文。作者描述自己第一次的出国经历和心情感受。
解析：
61．考查词性转换之动词变形容词。句意：我清晨开车去机场感到很兴奋。考查系表结构。分析句子可知，本句中的excite作系动词felt 的表语，此处应用形容词，修饰人，要用excited。故填excited。
62．考查非谓语动词。分析句子“While 62 (look)for more interesting things to do...I jumped at the chance to study French”可知，本句是一个省略句。从句中的主语(I)省略了，从句的动词look与逻辑主语I是主动关系，故用looking。
63．考查代词。句意：在这个以它的(its)艺术、食物和文化而闻名的城市学习法语。这里做定语，用形容词性物主代词，故填its。
64．考查动词的时态。此文是对过去动作的描述，要用过去时来描述，故用began。
65．考查连词。句意：但是当我到达那里时我很紧张，因为我不会说这个国家的语言。分析可知，前后句之间是因果关系，故用because。
66．考查定语从句。分析句子“I was in a country 66 language I could not speak”可知，country后面是定语从句，country是先行词，在从句中作language的定语，意为“这个国家的语言”，人的/物的，要用whose。
67．考查词性转换之形容词变名词。句意：但当我找到方法时，我有了信心。分析句子“I gained 67 (confident)”可知，本句中的confident作动词gained的宾语，此处需要名词，故用confidence。
68．考查介词。句意：我心里充满了兴奋。此处的be filled with...为固定搭配，意为“充满……”。
69．考查词性转换之形容词变副词。句意：当我第一次踏上异国之地时，我非常高兴。分析句子“I was 69 (extreme) happy”可知，空格处在此修饰形容词happy，副词修饰形容词，故用extremely。
70．考查冠词。句意：我很快就有了第一次尝试用我只在学校里练习过的语言进行交流的经历。此处表示泛指一种语言，故用a。
第四部分：写作(满分35分)

答案：

文章大意：我小时候，周五晚上是我们全家游戏的晚上。晚饭后，我们在起居室里玩各种各样的卡片游戏。这对我有很大的影响。
解析：
71．考查名词。Friday morning/afternoon/night星期五的上午/下午/晚上。
72．考查固定搭配。of all sorts“各种各样的”。
73．考查冠词。此处表示泛指而非特指。
74．考查非谓语动词。ask to do sth.“要求做某事”。
75．考查情态动词。would (not)表示“意愿”时后面直接跟动词原形，不需要加to。
76．考查代词。根据行文逻辑可知，此处说的是“我”的事情，所以用对应的宾格代词me作介词to的宾语。
77．考查固定搭配。be unwilling to do sth.“不愿意做某事”。此处说的是过去的事情，主语是I，所以连系动词用was。
78．考查介词。for为了，表示目的，而此处表示“和某人一起玩某物”，故用play sth.with sb.。
79．考查动词的时态。根据主句的谓语didn't realize和until引导的时间状语从句的谓语entered可知，此处说的是过去的事情，所以are应改为were。
80．考查连词。I was a child表示的是时间而非地点，故应用when引导时间状语从句。

Today we are visiting what is probably the most unusual animal shelter in Britain.It does not house，as one would expect，a variety of wild animals rescued from zoos or sea creatures from ocean parks.So don't expect to see any lions，elephants or sharks here.What it does have is a lot of very lucky and happy cows，pigs，goats，sheep and chickens.Why lucky？Well，these poor creatures have basically been rescued from becoming your lunch by animal rights groups.They are able to live out the rest of their lives here in Woodhill Shelter.
The Shelter was set up by Jill and Ben Smith.Neither of them eats any animal products，but lives instead on a plant-based diet.They say it is a kinder way to live and better for the planet.The idea to build a shelter first occurred to them in 2011，and it was two years later that they put the idea into practice.Three years afterwards，they published a book called Our Farm Family，which was about the stories of the animals on the farm.
All the farm workers are volunteers without pay，but get free lunch and coffee in return for their work.But having done it myself，I can tell you that it is truly a rewarding experience.
If you want to visit the farm，you can phone 6978325 for more information.And if you want to become a volunteer，you must visit the website and fill in the online form.Post is not accepted because letters are easy to lose.

(2019·黑龙江省七台河市高二期中)
One of the most exciting and interesting international cities to visit is London，England.Here is a look at four free things to do during a vacation to London.
Visit the Trafalgar Square
Built more than 200 years ago，Trafalgar Square is a popular gathering place for locals and travelers，too.The area is close to good shopping and dining opportunities，and there are usually some sorts of public events or celebrations going on there during most weekends.
Wander Along the Thames
Visitors wanting to see some great architecture，attractions and views should spend an afternoon walking along the River Thames.The best place to start is at the world-famous London Bridge crossing over the river and you can walk all the way to Westminster Bridge a short distance away.Travelers doing this will find themselves passing by a great many historic buildings.
Explore the Local Markets
While purchasing items at any of the open markets in London is not necessarily free，walking through them to view the merchants (商人)，their products and the other shoppers is of great fun.Some of the popular open markets in London worth visiting include Spitafields Market，Portobello Road Market and Leadenhall Market.
Visit the British Museum
One of the top museums in the entire United Kingdom can be found in London，and it charges no admission (入场费) for entry.This museum is so highly regarded that it is not only popular with locals and tourists，it is also seen as a major and valuable scholarly resource.
文章大意：这是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了在伦敦度假期间四处可以免费参观的旅游景点。
21．What can we know about the Trafalgar Square？ D
A．It borders the Thames.
B．It has a history of over three centuries.
C．There are many factories around it.
D．From here visitors can easily do some shopping.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“The area is close to good shopping and dining opportunities”可知，Trafalgar Square靠近购物和饮食中心，所以人们很容易购物，故D正确。
22．What will attract visitors' attention while they're walking along the Thames？ D
A．Some old trees. B．Local products.
C．Great restaurants. D．Famous buildings.
解析：推理判断题。根据文章第三段最后一句“Travelers doing this will find themselves passing by a great many historic buildings.”可知，游客在泰晤士河漫步时可以看到很多历史建筑，故D正确。
23．We learn from the text that C .
A．London Bridge is far from Westminster Bridge
B．Portobello Road Market is located in Manchester
C．the British Museum is a major and valuable scholarly resource
D．visitors should pay some money to enter the British Museum

B
Almost 80% of the Americans have stated their opposition to cloning pet animals such as cats and dogs，yet companies still try to make a business out of selling cloned pets. Pet cloning has been promoted as a way to “bring back”or “copy” a beloved companion animal. However, studies have shown that cloning remains an experimental technology with many failures.
Behind each lovely picture of a cloned cat or dog lie hundreds of animals that were kept in lab cages, receiving bad treatment to produce just that one cloned animal. For all that，you end up with a cloned animal who is unlikely to appear like the original physically or behaviorally and may experience serious health problems. Also, while pet cloning companies are charging customers up to $150,000 for a cloned pet, millions of homeless animals of the same species are available in US animal shelters for around $100. Unfortunately，most of these animals are killed for lack of adopting homes.
With No Pet Cloning campaign, the American Anti-Vivisection Society (AAVS) tries to protect both animals and people from harm. They campaigned until the US companies that sold cloned animals closed their doors. First it was Genetic Savings & Clone Inc. and then it was BioArts International.
When BioArts was closed, its owner, Lou Hawthorne，finally had to acknowledge the problems of pet cloning.According to Hawthorne, he has seen numerous failures during his pet cloning attempts, “One clone—which was supposed to be black and white—was born greenish-yellow where it should have been white (we still have no good explanation for how that happened)．”
The AAVS is educating the public about the animal suffering and is seeking regulation of cloning activities. They will continue to take the lead in protecting animals from the threats of pet cloning.
文章大意：随着克隆技术的发展，猫狗等宠物也可以被克隆。但是大多数美国人反对这一做法，美国一些动物保护组织，如AAVS，力图保护人类和动物不受伤害。
24．From the passage，we know that C .
A．pets are often deserted by their owners
B．more and more people have joined the AAVS
C．most Americans are against cloning pet animals
D．the American Anti－Vivisection Society is supported by the government
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段“Almost 80% of the Americans have stated their opposition to cloning pet animals such as cats and dogs”可知，几乎80%的美国人表明他们反对克隆宠物，如猫和狗等。故选C项。
25．According to the passage，companies keep on selling cloned pets to B .
A．carry on scientific studies
B．get economic interests
C．protect pet animals
D．comfort animal lovers
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“companies still try to make a business out of selling cloned pets”可知，一些公司仍然售卖克隆宠物挣钱，获得经济利益。故选B项。
26．What does the author try to do by writing the second paragraph？ A
A．To tell the truth behind pet cloning.
B．To show the method of pet cloning.
C．To compare pet animals with homeless ones.
D．To save the animals kept in labs and shelters.
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段第一句可知在克隆猫或狗的美妙图景背后，是为了生产克隆动物，无数的动物被关在实验室的笼子里，接受不良对待这一事实。故选A项。
27．The underlined word“acknowledge”probably means C .
A．accept B．study
C．admit D．manage
解析：词义猜测题。根据下文“According to Hawthorne，he has seen numerous failures during his pet cloning attempts.”可知，据Hawthorne所说，他目睹了宠物克隆实验过程中的无数次失败，所以他终于承认宠物克隆存在的问题。故选C项。
C
Authors Kyle Kurpinski and Terry D. Johnson pretty much have me convinced that human cloning is quite possible and is a future certainty. Kurpinski and Johnson are both bioengineering experts; unlike similar scientists you have seen in the movies, they both have a sense of humor. What surprises me is that Kurpinski and Johnson are able to take something as complicated as DNA and make it understandable.
The book How to Defeat Your Own Clone teaches us what is now known as DNA－encoded (编码), how that happens, and why people with similar DNA don't look or act the same. The book not only helps us get a basic understanding of what DNA and its purpose are, but also explains cloning and stem cell (干细胞) research. It occurs to me that a lot of people who are against stem cell research don't know what they are protesting about. The authors provide a history of cloning, as well as information about stem cells.
The real fun starts when the authors attack various myths about cloning.Obviously，too many people have been watching too many bad movies and television programs.Remember they're just fictional stories.If，somehow，scientists manage to clone you, twenty years from now your clone isn't going to kill you. Among the myths explored and exploded are that a clone will know everything you know and will act as you do, that heads which are cut off can be kept alive, and that a clone has no belly button (肚脐). Many of the myths are ridiculous but many people believe them.
Kurpinski and Johnson also detail some bio－improvements “that really work”. You see, genes can be controlled to help you sleep better and become smarter, healthier, and taller.Well... not exactly you, but future generations.
If you do wind up in a battle with your own clone, who will be considerably younger than you, remember that it is not you and that it doesn't know what you know.
文章大意：本文介绍了一本关于克隆知识的书。
28．Many bioengineering experts in movies are C .
A．humorous B．wealthy
C．serious D．crazy
解析：推理判断题。从第一段的“unlike similar scientists you have seen in the movies，they both have a sense of humor”可知电影中的生物工程学家一般都是没有幽默感的。
29．Which of the following things are in book How to Defeat Your Own Clone？ B
a．What DNA and its purpose are.
b．Who is against cloning.
c．The history of cloning.
d．The myths about cloning.
e．The disadvantages of cloning.
A．a，b，e B．a，c，d
C．b，d，e D．b，c，d
解析：细节理解题。从第二段的“The book not only helps us get a basic understanding of what DNA and its purpose are...The authors provide a history of cloning...”及第三段的“The real fun starts when the authors attack various myths about cloning.”可知答案。
30．We can learn from the passage that biotechnology C .
A．has been banned in many countries around the world
B．is being used to improve one's intelligence right now

As more and more schools rush to put digital devices(数码设备)in the hands of every student，many parents are becoming increasingly concerned about the quality of their children's education.The promise of increased student academic(学业上的)achievement through the use of technology hasn't produced any significant results in the past 20 years.
Researchers at the University of California Los Angeles conducted a study in 2014 to determine if the social skills of elementary students were blocked by screen time.Two groups of sixth grade students were compared.One group was sent to an outdoor camp for one week with no screen time，while the control group live life as normal.After one week，the students at camp had made significant improvements over their peers(同龄人)．The good news is that when we limit access to screen time and give children the opportunity to interact face to face，they quickly become better at reading the emotional state of others.The bad news is that we have a generation of children that struggle with this basic emotional intelligence skill.
Too much screen time has been linked to childhood obesity，sleep disorders，behavior problems，and academic challenges.But is there a difference between schoolwork and entertainment media?
When students are using technology for academic work they are more likely to be communicating with peers，working cooperatively，and developing other important skills.However，all these are impossible when students watch entertainment media.They just sit and watch!
Parents have right to be concerned about their children's screen time at school，but they should begin by discussing the use of digital media at home.Some parents are continuously engaged in their own devices，responding to every ring of their phones，receiving and sending messages.How can they expect their children to do better?
文章大意：随着越来越多的学校急于将数字设备放在每个学生的手中，许多家长越来越担心孩子的教育质量。本文就这一问题展开了讨论。
32．What was the schools' initial(最初的)intention of using digital devices？ A
A．To improve students academically
B．To help students develop socially.
C．To make school life more entertaining and colorful.
D．To make sure students get technological education.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“The promise of increased student academic(学业上的) achievement through the use of technology hasn't really produced any significant results in the past 20 years.”可知，是为了提高学生在学术上的技能。故选A。
33．What aspect of children worries the writer a lot？ D
A．Lacking guidance on proper screen time.
B．Lacking chances to communicate with others.
C．Lacking interest in improving their study.
D．Lacking skills in reading others' emotional state.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“The bad news is that we have a generation of children that struggle with this basic emotional intelligence skill.”可知，作者担忧学生缺乏阅读他人情绪状态的技能。故选D。
34．What attitude does the writer have to the use of digital devices in schoolwork？ A
A．Positive. B．Concerned.
C．Negative. D．Uncertain.
解析：观点态度题。根据第四段第一句“When students are using technology for academic work they are more likely to be communicating with peers，working cooperatively，and developing other important skills.”可知，作者对在学校作业中使用数字设备的态度是积极的。故选A。
35．From the passage，we can learn that B .
A．parents shouldn't oppose schools in their educational approaches
B．some parents may set a bad example to their children in using digital media
C．the screen watching time shouldn't be longer than 2 hours for students
D．it's wrong for schools to focus on technological education
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“Some parents are continuously tuned into their own devices，responding to every ring of their phones，receiving and sending messages.How can they expect their children to do better？”，由此推知，在使用数字媒体上一些父母可能会给他们的孩子树立一个坏榜样。故答案为B。
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。
When many people think about planting a tree，they do not realize that there are several things that they need to consider.You can't simply just dig a single hole，throw the tree into that space，and expect it to grow without any disease. 36.G
The first thing that you need to take into account is the time of year that you are looking to plant the tree in.Believe it or not，in order to plant a tree that will stay alive and be able to survive，you have to plant it at the time of year that is right for the tree. 37.A The burning sun during these periods of time will cause a big amount of stress of the tree，which will then lead to its death. 38.D .
39.C You should choose a suitable region and climate for the tree.If you decide to plant a tree that is not a native of a particular climate，you need to consider different factors about the tree such as the growth habits of the tree and how much tolerance the tree has to different weather conditions.
40.F Sometimes in cases where people will be digging deep holes to plant a tree，they need to make sure that they are not digging around the phone lines that may be buried below the surface.Among other things，the hole determines if the tree can survive.
A．Normally you should never plant a tree in late spring or summer.
B．When digging a hole for a tree，you'd better dig as deep as possible.
C．You should then look at the place where you plan to plant the tree in.
D．The best time to consider planting your tree is around autumn or early spring.
E．The tree will not only be planted but will continue to grow well for years to come.
F．The next thing that you need to know is whether there are requirements where you'll dig.
G．There are a few basic things that you need to do in order to make sure the tree grows healthily.
文章大意：这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了种树前需考虑的问题，包括种植的时间，地域，气候以及地点。
解析：
36．上文讲述了种植树木还需要考虑其他因素。下文的三个自然段主要讲了树木种植前需要考虑的条件。所以该句承接下文，G选项“为了确保树木长的健康，你还需要做一些基本的事情。”符合题意。
37．上一句提到“你必须在一年最适宜的时间种植树木”下一句提到灼热的太阳将会导致树木死亡。 A选项“正常情况下，你不应该在晚春或者夏天种植树木。” 符合题意。
38．上文提到不要在晚春或者夏天种植树木，因为这些季节会使树木死亡。所以D选项“种植树木最好的时间是早春或者是秋天。” 符合题意。
39．该空是一个标题句。下一句提到“你应该选择一个适合树木的地区和气候”，所以该段讲的是在种植树木时需考虑地点。C选项“接下来你应该寻找计划种植树木的地点。” 符合题意。
40．该空是一个标题句。下文提到在种植树木时需要注意洞的深浅。由下一句的dig可知F选项“接下来的事情就是你需要知道挖的坑是否具备条件。” 符合题意。
第三部分：英语知识运用(共两节；满分45分)
第一节：完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)

One morning，the door to the classroom opened and a new teacher，Mrs Cosby，walked in.She looked too 41.A to handle us.And we sure gave her a 42.B time，but she never lost her temper.And then came the last day of the first month.She 43.B a bunch of papers.We 44.C the worst—a test.But oh no，it was something that totally 45.B us.
Mrs Cosby asked us to come to the front of the class，and gave each of us a piece of 46.C ，on which she had written what the student had been 47.A at during the last month.You see，no one had ever 48.C us.No one had ever liked us.We were constantly told what good-for-nothing students we were.And here， 49.D ，was someone who had been 50.D us closely for a month.We made things as difficult for her as we could.And yet she could find something 51.B to say about each of us.
Mrs Cosby did this every 52.C from then on.Each month we got a piece of paper that emphasized our 53.D .She commented on my courage，how punctual I was，how good to 54.C arguments if I wanted.Her positive attitude transformed our class.We did not want to 55.A her feelings any more.We actually started to 56.A .
And then came the day of our graduation.Mrs Cosby hugged us and told us with tears in her eyes how 57.B she was of us.Then she 58.C each one of us a book.All the encouraging words through the years were there，in hard covers.
She said，“I want you each to keep this book and if ever during your life you feel unworthy， 59.D this and read how good you are.You can be anything you want to be 60.B you believe in yourself.Promise me you'll remember that！”
文章大意： 本文为记叙文。本文介绍教师的态度和激励的重要性。一位英语老师接了一个乱班。学生难教，麻烦不断，但她却用自己的爱心来发现学生的优点，用积极的语言来激励他们上进，最终让学生成为优秀的学生而毕业。这说明了老师对学生的态度能影响甚至改变了他们的一生。
41．A．soft B．short
C．foolish D．common
解析：考查形容词辨析。soft软的，温和的，温柔的；short短的；foolish愚蠢的； common共同的，常见的。根据后一句根本不可能管住我们，可知说她看起来太温和(soft)了。故选A项。
42．A．happy B．hard
C．good D．valuable
解析：考查形容词辨析。 happy幸福的； hard辛苦的，努力的； good好的； valuable有价值的。根据空前的内容可知，这群学生不好管，根据空后内容但是她从不发火，可知是这群学生让她日子不好过，让她吃了苦头。故选B项。
43．A．picked up B．took out
C．paid for D．came across
解析：考查动词短语辨析。然后到了她作为我们老师的第一个月的最后一天。她拿出了一叠纸。pick up拾起，捡起； take out拿出；pay for 为……付报酬； come across遇到，碰到。故选B项。
44．A．hoped B．needed
C．feared D．dreamed
解析：考查动词辨析。hope希望； need需要；fear害怕；dream梦想。根据后面的“the worst—a test”．最可怕的试卷，可知是害怕。故选C项。
45．A．disappointed B．surprised
C．excited D．satisfied

46．A．sentence B．comment
C．paper D．letter
解析：考查名词辨析。sentence 宣判；comment评论；paper纸，试卷；letter信。根据上文“She 43 a bunch of papers”，可知，给我们一人一张纸(paper)。故选C项。
47．A．good B．angry
C．poor D．glad
解析：考查固定搭配。本句指的是在那张纸上，她写下了该名学生这个月以来做得最好的事情。be good at，为固定搭配，意为“擅长做某事”。故选A项。
48．A．forgot about B．played with
C．believed in D．looked for
解析：考查动词短语辨析。 forget about忘记；play with 和……一起玩，演奏；believe in相信；look for寻找。 根据空后的“No one had ever liked us.We were constantly told what good-for-nothing students we were.”你看，从来没有人喜欢过我们。我们经常被告知我们是些无用的学生。由此可推断出从来没有人相信过(believed in)我们。故选C项。
49．A．naturally B．generally
C．gradually D．suddenly
解析：考查副词辨析。 naturally 自然地；generally一般地，大体上地；gradually慢慢地；suddenly突然地。根据上文可知，从来没人相信我们，喜欢过我们，都说我们是无用的。所以现在，突然(suddenly)有那么一个人仔细观察了我们一个月。故选D项。
50．A．teaching B．praising
C．following D．observing
解析：考查动词辨析。 teach教学；praise表扬； follow 跟从； observe观察。根据第49题可知，选D项。
51．A．strange B．positive
C．wrong D．interesting
解析：考查形容词辨析。 strange奇怪的；positive正面的，积极的； wrong 错误的； interesting有趣的。根据前面的“she had written what the student had been 47 at during the last month.”可知，她写下了该名学生这个月以来做得最好的事情。所以她还是发现了我们每一个人积极向上的(positive)一面。故选B项。
52．A．day B．week

53．A．shortcomings B．mistakes
C．wishes D．strengths
解析：考查名词辨析。shortcoming缺点；mistake错误；wish愿望；strength优点，长处。根据后一句“She commented on my courage，how punctual I was” 但她对我的勇气赞许有加，说我守时。及前面的第51题可知，说的都是每个人积极的东西，所以一定是优点长处(strengths)。故选D项。
54．A．start B．continue
C．settle D．write
解析：考查动词辨析。start开始，起动； continue继续； settle安定，解决；write写。说只要我愿意，就能马上解决(settle)争端。故选C项。
55．A．hurt B．know
C．understand D．read
解析：考查动词辨析。 hurt伤害；know知道；understand理解，明白；read读。根据上文可知，Cosby夫人用她的积极态度改变了我们班。所以我们不想再伤害(hurt)她的心了。故选A项。
56．A．study B．play
C．fight D．joke
解析：考查动词辨析。study学习，研究；play表演，玩；fight斗争，打仗；joke开玩笑，戏弄。我们开始听讲学习(study)。故选A项。

58．A．promised B．bought
C．handed D．suggested
解析：考查动词辨析。promise允诺；buy 购买；hand 递给； suggest建议。然后她递给(handed)我们每人一本小册子。故选C项。
59．A．remember B．change
C．borrow D．open
解析：考查动词辨析。remember记得；change改变，变化； borrow 借；open打开。我希望你们留着这本册子，如果你们在日后的生活中觉得自己一无是处，打开它，看看自己有多棒。因为小册子里写着鼓励的话，所以只有打开(open)才能知道。故选D项。
60．A．even if B．as long as
C．unless D．as though
解析：考查连词辨析。even if即使；as long as只要；unless 除非；as though仿佛，好像。只要相信自己，你们可以成就任何梦想。根据空前空后的内容可知，是 “只要”的意思。故选B项。
第二节：(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，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。
Are you the first or the last child in your family? Or are you a middle or an only child? Some people think 61.it matters where you were born in your family.But there are different ideas about what birth order means.Some people say that oldest children， 62.who are smart and strong-willed，are very likely 63.to succeed ( succeed)．The reason 64.for this is simple.Parents have a lot of time for their first child and give him or her a lot of attention.An only child will succeed for 65.the same reason.
What 66.happens (happen) to the other children in the family? Middle children don't get so much attention，so they don't feel that important.If a family has many children，the middle one sometimes gets 67.lost (lose) in the crowd.The youngest child，however，often gets special treatment.Often this child grows up to be funny.But a recent study saw things quite 68.differently (difference)．The study found that the first children believe in family rules.They don't take many chances in 69.their lives.They usually follow 70.orders (order)．Rules don't mean much to later children in the family.They take chances and they often do better in life.
文章大意：本文为议论文。有人认为一个人出生后在家庭中的什么位置是很重要的，通常最大的和最小的孩子容易得到重视和照顾，中间的孩子却常被忽视。
解析：
61．考查固定句型。有些人认为你出生后在家庭中的位置是很重要的。it在这里做形式主语，真正的主语是后面的where you were born in your family。在英语中习惯用it做形式主语来代替后面的主语，故填it。
62．考查定语从句。本句中的先行词是oldest children，在非限制性定语从句中充当主语，做主语，指人，要用who，故答案为who。
63．考查固定搭配。有人说，聪明、意志坚强的长子很可能成功。be likely to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“可能做某事”，所以本空填to succeed。
64．考查固定搭配。the reason for ……为固定搭配，意为“……的理由”。句意：这个理由很简单。故答案为for。
65．考查定冠词。same常与定冠词the连用。the same reason意为“同样的理由”，故填the。
66．考查谓语动词。本句中的动词happen在句中作谓语动词，主语是what ，所以谓语动词要用单数。故填happens。
67．考查固定搭配。 get/be lost in...，为固定搭配，意为“迷失……，消失……”，故填lost 。
68．考查词性转换之名词变副词。副词一般修饰动词、形容词或副词。分析句子可知，此处应用副词differently作状语修饰动词saw，所以要用副词形式，故答案为differently。
69．考查形容词性物主代词。主语是they，此处指的是在他们的生命中。句意“在他们的生命中没有很多机会……”，故答案为their。
70．考查名词的数。分析句子可知，他们通常服从命令(orders)。order在此是泛指，order是可数名词，表示泛指一般用名词的复数形式，因此本题用order的复数形式，故填orders。
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处语言错误，每句中最多有两处，每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删改或修改。

(2018·全国卷Ⅲ)
It was Monday morning，and the writing class had just begin.Everyone was silent，wait to see who would be called upon to read his and her paragraph aloud.Some of us were confident and eager take part in the class activity；others were nervous and anxious.I had done myself homework，but I was shy.I was afraid that to speak in front of a larger group of people.At that moment，I remembered that my father once said，“The classroom is a place for learning and that include learning from textbooks，and mistake as well.” Immediate，I raised my hand.
答案：
It was Monday morning，and the writing class had just .Everyone was silent， to see who would be called upon to read his her paragraph aloud.Some of us were confident and eager take part in the class activity；others were nervous and anxious.I had done homework，but I was shy.I was afraid that to speak in front of a group of people.At that moment，I remembered that my father once said，“The classroom is a place for learning and that learning from textbooks，and as well.” ，I raised my hand.
文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。描写了作者在写作课上的心理活动。作者虽然完成了作业，但还是害羞，不敢在很多人面前读文章。作者突然想起父亲曾经说过的话，受到了鼓舞，于是举起了手。
解析：
71．考查谓语动词。由语境可知，此处是过去完成时，要用“had＋过去分词”结构。begin的过去分词为begun。
72．考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，was为谓语动词，主语I与wait之间为主谓关系，故用现在分词作状语。
73．考查连词。his与 her之间为选择关系，而非并列关系，故用or。
74．考查非谓语动词。(be) eager to do sth.“渴望做某事”，为固定搭配。
75．考查固定搭配。do one's/the homework 为固定搭配，意为“做家庭作业”。
76．考查固定结构。be afraid to do sth.“害怕做某事”。
77．考查句意。由语境可知，前后没有比较的意味，故用原级。
78．考查主谓一致原则。分析句子结构可知，that引导定语从句，修饰place，关系代词替代place在从句中作主语，从句谓语动词的数要与先行词保持一致。
79．考查名词的数。句意：……从书本和错误中学习。mistake是可数名词，此处所指的“错误”不止一个，应用复数形式。
80．考查副词。放于句首，作句子状语，要用副词。

As we know，more and more ladies are beginning to lose weight in different ways now.Recently，our class have had a heated discussion about it.
About 60% of students are for it. They think one can stay slim and look beautiful by losing weight. If one does this in a proper way，it can stop one from getting fat and can keep one healthy. Besides, taking everyday exercise and going on a diet can help to train a person's perseverance. However, the others have different ideas. They hold the view that it is a waste of time, energy and money. Some often try to lose weight by taking weight loss pills.As a result, their health gets damaged badly.What's worse, whoever takes weight loss seriously often lacks confidence.
In my opinion, if one is too fat and often falls ill, he or she should try to lose weight with the help of a doctor.

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
Where will you go to escape the stress of life and the noise of traffic? To find out，we turned to question-and-answer site Quora，where users have been sharing their opinions.From an Alpine palace in Germany to some amazing English views，these dreamy destinations are so magical that it's hard to believe they're real.
Gaudi's other worldly imagination
Designed by one of Spain's most famous architects，Antoni Gaudi，the Roman Catholic church Sagrada Familia is a legend in itself.Construction began in 1882，but less than a quarter of the project was complete when Gaudi died in 1926.Since then，work has progressed slowly.How about the ending? Architects plan to complete the project in 2026，the centenary of Gaudi's death.
As Barcelona's most popular tourist site，Sagrada Familia attracts three million visitors every year for one good reason: It's a masterpiece unlike anything else in the world which is largely responsible for the city's lively personality.
A setting that could steal the spotlight from any storybook hero
With its valleys surrounded by lakes，rivers，hills and peaks，the Lake District in England's northwest is quite literally taken out of fairy tales.This place was Beatrix Potter's inspiration for Peter Rabbit and the residence(居所)of the Lake Poets，including William Wordsworth，Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Robert Southey.
One of nature's most magical illusions
Once upon a time in the faraway land of the Faroe Islands，Lake Leitisvatn became known as the most striking of all the islands' lakes.At more than 6km long，it is the biggest in the Faroe Islands.In reality，Lake Leitisvatn is actually no more than about 30m above sea level.A steep cliff in front of the lake and a clever camera angle make the lake appear to be much higher than it really is.
文章大意：本文介绍了一个网站Quora。你将在哪里可以逃避生活的压力和交通的噪音？为了找到答案，我们求助于问答网站Quora，那里的用户一直在分享他们的观点。从德国的一座高山宫殿到一些令人惊叹的英国风景，这些梦幻般的目的地是如此神奇，以至于人们很难相信它们是真实的。
21．From the first paragraph，we know Quora is a site where you can C .
A．release your stress of life
B．ask your teachers questions
C．get different views about something
D．find guides to any magical attractions
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中“To find out，we turned to question-and-answer site Quora，where users have been sharing their opinions.”可知，从第一段，我们知道Quora是一个你可以对某件事得到不同看法的网站。故C项正确。
22．What do you know about Sagrada Familia？ A
A．It hasn't been fully built yet.
B．It is a museum about Antoni Gaudi.
C．It was built in honor of Antoni Gaudi.
D．It tells much about Spain's history.
解析：推理判断题。根据Gaudi's other worldly imagination中“the Roman Catholic church Sagrada Familia is a legend in itself Construction began in 1882，but less than a quarter of the project was complete when Gaudi died in 1926.Since then，work has progressed slowly.”可知，Sagrada Familia还没有完全建成。故A项正确。
23．Where did Beatrix Potter create the fairy tale character Peter Rabbit？ B
A．On Lake Leitisvatn.
B．In the Lake District.
C．From Sagrada Familia.
D．At certain hills and peaks.
解析：细节理解题。根据A setting that could steal the spotlight from any storybook hero中“With its valleys surrounded by lakes，rivers，hills and peaks，the Lake District in England's northwest is quite literally taken out of fairy tales.”可知，在the Lake District Beatrix Potter创造了童话人物Peter Rabbit。故B项正确。

Reports tell us that Americans work more and vacation less than people in other major industrial countries.Still, millions of Americans do try to get away from home for a week or two in the summer months.Some might even have time and money to spend longer on vacation.
For example, many retired Americans can be found driving around the United States in big recreational vehicles, known as R．V.'s.These serve as a home away from home.In fact, it might even be their only home as they see the country.
Some American families get in their cars and drive to historic places like Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia.There, they can experience what life was like for early Americans.If that is not exciting enough, also in Williamsburg is a water park and an amusement park with rides.
Other Americans visit national parks like Yellowstone or Yosemite out in the West.They want to spend time with nature.Or they take their vacation by a lake or the ocean.They might swim or fish.But many just want to sit and enjoy the feeling of doing nothing, except maybe read a book.
Some families fly to other countries on vacation.Or they go on a cruise ship (大型游轮)and stop in different ports.Cruise ships are like floating cities.
But not everyone goes someplace special on vacation.This might be the only time for people to work on things like home improvement projects.And while they do that, they might think of all the fun their friends are having.
文章大意：本文讲述了美国人比其他工业城市的人工作时间多，而休息时间少。当他们休息时，大部分家庭会选择在暑假离开家出去旅游一两周，甚至更长的时间，通过不同的方式去各个地方感受不一样的旅行快乐。
24．What can be the best title for the text？ B
A．Americans Work More and Vacation Less
B．Where Americans Go on Their Summer Vacations
C．Different Places for Summer Vacations
D．Not All Americans Take Summer Vacations
解析：标题归纳题。本文介绍了在暑假，美国人会花费一两周，甚至更长的时间离开家出去旅游，他们旅游的方式和地点很多，如一些人驾车环游美国、一些人去历史悠久的地方，还有一些人利用假期接近大自然，由此可推断出B项“美国人夏季去哪度假”作为文章标题最佳。故选B项。
25．If you want to spend time with nature, you can do the following things except D .
A．to visit national parks B．to see the country
C．to stay by a lake D．to visit historic places
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Other Americans visit national parks like Yellowstone...Or they take their vacation by a lake or the ocean...maybe read a book.”可知，如果想接近自然，你可以去参观国家公园，或待在湖边或去海边玩耍，甚至可以读书。而to visit historic places只是能让人们感受到早期的美国生活，不属于接近自然。故选D项。
26．Which of the following is False？ C
A．People choose different destinations depending on different interests.
B．People interested in history can have fun in Colonial Williamsburg.
C．All the people take vacations only to do nothing but relax themselves.
D．Not all Americans can afford time and money to go on a vacation.
解析：细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“But not everyone goes someplace special on vacation.This might be the only time for people to work on things like home improvement projects.”可知，并不是每个美国人都会在假期放松自己去各个地方旅游，有些人也许只有在假期才能进行他们的家庭改进工作。C项中的All the people和only用词过于绝对，C项表述错误，故为答案。
27．What does the underlined sentence of the passage mean？ D
A．They fully enjoy doing their work on home improvement projects.
B．They think of their work at home as a special kind of vacation.
C．They can imagine what fun their friends are having on vacation.
D．They might envy their friends having time going on vacation.
解析：句意猜测题。根据文章最后一段的描述可知，有的美国人会利用假期做家庭改进的工作，而这些人是不能出去旅游的，由此可推断出画线句表达的是他们可能会羡慕他们的朋友有时间出去旅游。故选D项。
C
There is a man who is dying to find the way to success，but he doesn't have an idea how to do it.One day，he meets a guru，a religious teacher，on the road.The man asks the guru，“Which way is to success？” The gum doesn't speak，but points to a place off in the distance.
The man，thrilled by the prospect of quick and easy success，rushes off in that direction.Along the way，he is occupied in looking up something special but there is nothing.Suddenly there comes a loud splat(溅泼声)．Eventually，the man limps back in rags，assuming he must have misinterpreted the message.Therefore，he returns to the guru for a reason.He repeats his question to the guru，who again points silently in the same direction.
The man was obedient to walk off once more.This time the splat is deafening，and when the man crawls back，he is bloody，broken and angry，“I asked you which way was to success，” he screams at the guru，“ I followed the direction you pointed to.And all I got was being knocked down! No more of this pointing! Tell me why? Talk！”
Only then does the guru speak，and what he says is that “Success is that way.Just a little past the splat.”
文章大意：这是一篇哲理性小故事。有一个人渴望找到成功的道路，于是询问一名智者，智者指向远处的一个地方。于是这个人就一直向前，失败后就又不再继续寻找，最终什么也没有找到，狼狈不堪。智者告诉他，成功就是经历失败后继续向前。这篇文章告诉我们，不要过早地放弃，成功就在你失败之后。
28．Why does the man fail once more？ D
A．He is so stupid that he cannot find it.
B．The way to success does not exist in life.
C．The guru gave the wrong direction to him.
D．He does not make sense of the guru's words.
解析：推理判断题。由最后一段“what he says is that ‘Success is that way.Just a little past the splat’．”可推断，这个人之所以再一次失败，是因为他们没有完全理解智者的话，成功的道路充满失败，不要过早放弃，继续坚持，你就会成功。故选D。
29．What does the underlined word “obedient” in Paragraph 3 mean？ A
A．Submitted. B．Pleasing.
C．Disappointed. D．Unwilling.
解析：词义猜测题。由第二段可知，当这个再次询问智者那条路通向成功时，智者再次重复了以前的问题，指向同一个方向，结合下文“walk off once more...”可推断，这个听了智者的话，很听话的再次离开了，再次撞得头破血流。因此可知，画线词词义是“顺从的”与A项意义相近。故选A。
30．What does the guru think of how to succeed？ C
A．Getting the help from others.
B．Achieving it all on your own.
C．Keeping on going after some failures.
D．Just facing up to many difficulties.
解析：推理判断题。由最后一段的“Success is that way.Just a little past the splat.”可推断，智者认为成功是经历许多失败以后，继续向前。故选C。
31．What does the passage mainly tell us？ B
A．Believe in yourself.
B．Don't give up too soon.
C．Listen to the wisdom's suggestion.
D．Introduce the guru's wisdom.
解析：主旨大意题。纵观全文特别是最后一段的内容可推断，文章通过讲述一个人追逐成功的故事，告诉读者不要太早的放弃，失败后继续坚持，你就会成功。故选B。
D
(2018·全国卷Ⅲ)
Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are，like a nearby port or river.People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade.New York City，for example，is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River.Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million.But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time.Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight.In 1896，Dawson，Canada，was unmapped wilderness (荒野)．But gold was discovered there in 1897，and two years later，it was one of the largest cities in the West，with a population of 30,000.
Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris.People went there for gold.They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers.The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning.An avalanche (雪崩) once closed the path，killing 63 people.For many who made it to Dawson，however，the rewards were worth the difficult trip.Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold,4,000 got rich.About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.
But no matter how rich they were，Dawson was never comfortable.Necessities like food and wood were very expensive.But soon，the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found.The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down，and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska，they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come.Today，people still come and go to see where the Canadian gold rush happened.Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City—its present population is 762.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了加拿大Dawson City的兴衰及其背后的原因。
32．What attracted the early settlers to New York City？ C
A．Its business culture.
B．Its small population.
C．Its geographical position.
D．Its favourable climate.
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二、三句“People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade.New York City，for example，is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River.”可知，New York City吸引早期定居者之处就是它靠近Hudson River河口，交通和贸易便利，所以是它的地理位置吸引了早期的定居者。文章中没有A项和D项的相关信息；B项不是吸引人们定居的原因。故选C。
33．What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson？ B
A．Two-thirds of them stayed there.
B．One out of five people got rich.
C．Almost everyone gave up.
D．Half of them died.
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段倒数第二句“Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold,4,000 got rich.”可知，约五分之一的人发财了。故选B。A、C、D三项在文中都没有提到。
34．What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson？ B
A．They found the city too crowded.
B．They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.
C．There were unable to stand the winter.
D．They were short of food.
解析：细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down，and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska，they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come.(Dawson City满是失望的人们，他们没有兴趣定居下来，当听说在Alaska发现了新的金矿时，他们离开了，和他们来的时候一样迅速。)”可知，人们离开Dawson City去Alaska碰运气了。故选B。A、C、D三项都不是他们离开的主要原因。
35．What is the text mainly about？ A
A．The rise and fall of a city.
B．The gold rush in Canada.
C．Journeys into the wilderness.
D．Tourism in Dawson.
解析：主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中“But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time.Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight.”和最后一段中“...when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska，they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come.”以及最后一句“Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City—its present population is 762.”可知，文章主要讲述了一座城市(Dawson City)的兴衰。故选A。B项的范围过大，文章主要讲的是加拿大Dawson City。C项偏离了文章的主题。D项覆盖面太小，不能够涵盖Dawson City的过去。
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。
Fast food is cheap, convenient and to many of us it tastes good. Unfortunately, eating fast food on a regular basis can lead to a lot of different health problems. Still, the quick－and－cheap temptation (诱惑) can often be hard to resist. As an informed customer, you can make healthier choices and still enjoy the price and convenience of fast－food restaurants.
36.F
“Undress” your food. Be aware of calories and fat－packed salad dressings (调味品), spreads, cheese, sour cream, etc.For example, ask for a grilled chicken sandwich without mayonnaise (蛋黄酱). You can ask for a packet of ketchup (调味番茄酱) and add it yourself. 37.G
38.A Many menu items would be healthy if it weren't for the way they were prepared. Ask for your vegetables and main dishes to be served without the sauces. Ask for olive oil and vinegar for your salads or order the dressing on the side and spoon only a small amount at a time. If your food is fried or cooked in oil or butter, ask to have it broiled (烤) or steamed.
Eat mindfully.Pay attention to what you eat and taste each bite.Chew your food more thoroughly and avoid eating on the run. 39.E It takes some time for your body to digest what you have eaten.Mindful eating makes you relaxed and feel more satisfied，so you digest better.
When is it healthy to eat fast food？ 40.C Thus，moderation (适度) becomes the key. It's OK to allow yourself to enjoy French fries every now and then, but to stay healthy you can't make it a habit. Finding a healthy and well-balanced meal in most fast-food restaurants can be a challenge, but there are always choices you can make.
A．Special order.
B．Look at the menu.
C．The short answer is: rarely.
D．Tips on what to avoid at fast－food restaurants.
E．Being mindful also means stopping before you are full.
F．Tips on making healthy choices at fast－food restaurants.
G．In this way, you can control how much you put on your sandwich.
文章大意：本文是说明文。介绍如何将快餐吃得更健康。
36．根据第一段最后一句“As an informed customer，you can make healthier choices and still enjoy the price and convenience of fast-food restaurants.”可知，此句是一句承上启下的句子，故选F。
37．根据此段主题句“‘Undress’ your food.”和空格前一句“You can ask for a packet of ketchup(调味番茄酱) and add it yourself.”可知，你可以要一包番茄酱，自己添加。由此可知，以这样的方式你可以自己控制需要添加多少量，故选G。
38．此处为主题句。由本段内容有几处都出现了“ask for”“ask to”可知，发生的场合是点餐，故选A。
39．根据此段主题句“Eat mindfully.”可知，此空是对主题句加以解释说明，故选E。
40．此空前一句是一个问句，故此处应为答语。

文章大意：每个人都有新年愿望，如何做到2020年取得更好的成绩，饮食更健康，更早上床睡觉呢？如果我们有足够的自控能力和意志力，我们就很可能实现目标。
解析：
71．考查谓语动词。will是助动词，不能单独作谓语，后接原形动词，结合句意“你希望2020年是你可以取得更高成绩，吃得更健康，更早上床睡觉的一年吗？”。故在will后加be。
72．考查副词比较等级。由上下文提到的higher和earlier可推断，此处用比较级形式。故将healthy改为healthier。
73．考查动词。be able to do sth.“能够做某事”to是不定式符号，接动词原形。strength“力量”是名词，动词形式是strengthen。故填strengthen。
74．考查固定句型。It is likely that...“很可能……”是固定句型，it是形式主语，that从句是真正的主语。故去掉likely后的to。
75．考查非谓语动词。spend some time (in)doing sth.“花费时间做某事”是固定用法，故将reflect改为reflecting。
76．考查形容词。修饰名词well-being and resolutions用形容词，故将emotionally改为emotional。
77．考查介词。be proud of “以……骄傲”，是固定搭配。故将with改为of。
78．考查连词。修饰形容词tiny用副词how，句意：我们应该对自己有耐心，以自己的成绩为自豪，无论它们是多么微小。故将what改为how。
79．考查非谓语动词。“Achieving our goals”是主语，用动名词形式，故将Achieve改为Achieving。
80．考查名词的数。句意：实现我们的目标并不罕见，也不是竞争。根据语境可知，“我们的目标”不能是一个，且goal是可数名词，故将goal改为goals。

I saw a really good video last night when I was taking care of the kids.My sister asked me to look after my two nieces for a couple of hours while she went to the doctor's.They're both nine years old; they're twins.I know they love watching films，so on my way to my sister's house I went to the video shop and rented a “Walt Disney Classics” video.I saw it myself 20 years ago when I was their age，so I was sure they'd enjoy it，and I was right.My nieces love dogs and the film is about two dogs.They sat in front of the TV for over an hour without moving！It's a complex love story because one of the dogs lives in the rich part of town and is very carefully looked after and has everything a dog could want，but the other is a street dog which lives on the poor side of town and has nothing.So it's a bit like “Romeo and Juliet”！Although there are some sad moments when my nieces both cried，there's a happy ending.Everybody who's seen the film always remembers the last scene.
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
Bandhavgarh National Park in India is best known for its amazing setting，as well as having the highest concentration of tigers in India.In addition to tigers，there are also bears，deer，wolves，birds，etc.
Location：In Madhya Pradesh state，almost 200 kilometers northeast of Jabalpur.The nearest village is Tala，which is the access point of the park.
Opening Hours and Safari (打猎)Times
Safaris operate twice a day，starting at dawn until late morning，and mid afternoon until sunset.The best time to visit the park is early in the morning or after 4 p．m.to spot the animals.the park is closed from July 1 to September 30 due to the monsoon season (季风季节)．
Bandhavgarh Zone
Bandhavgarh is divided into three main zones: Tala (the park's best zone，with the most tigers)，Magdhi (the second best zone to see tigers)，and Khitauli (scenic and less visited，although tiger sighting do occur there; particularly good for birding)．
Entry Fees and Charges for Jeep Safaris
Bandhavgarh has become expensive to visit in recent years.Entry fees have increased since October 2014.When going on a safari，separate fees must be paid for park entry and jeep hire.Entry tickets are priced per vehicle (up to six people)．For 2015-16，park entry tickets cost as follows：
Tala Zone: 2,400 rupees for Indians,4,800 rupees for foreigners.(Up to six people)
Other Zones: 1,200 rupees for Indians,2,400 rupees for foreigners.(Up to six people)
Jeep Hire
Expect to pay about 2,200 rupees to hire a jeep，in addition to the entry cost.This can be done at the park entrance.All hotels can arrange jeep hire and tours，but at a higher rate.It's much less trouble though.Besides，unlike many national parks in India，it's possible to take private vehicles into Bandhavgarh.
文章大意：这是一篇广告宣传。本文介绍了印度的班达迦国家公园，讲述了公园的地理位置，平常开放时间和由于季风气候的关闭月份，不同国家游客的入场门票以及吉普车的问题。
21．What is Bandhavgarh National Park most famous for？ B
A．Species of bears. B．Lots of tigers.
C．Beautiful birds. D．A number of wolves.
解析：细节理解题。由文中第一段开头一句“Bandhavgarh National Park in India is best known for its amazing setting，as well as having the highest concentration of tigers in India.”可知，班达伽公园以大量的老虎闻名。故B选项正确。
22.How much should five Americans pay for entry fees to visit Magdhi Zone？ B
A．1,200 rupees. B．2,400 rupees.
C．4,800 rupees. D．6,000 rupees.
解析：细节理解题。根据文章“Other Zones: 1,200 rupees for Indians,2,400 rupees for foreigners.(Up to six people)”可知，五个美国人(不是印度人)去公园的Magdhi区需要支付2 400卢比。故B选项正确。
23．Which of the following statements is TRUE about jeep hire in the park？ A
A．Tourists don't have to hire jeeps.
B．Hiring jeeps from hotels costs less money.
C．Tourists can only hire a jeep from the park.
D．Jeep hire fees are included in the entry cost.
解析：细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Expect to pay about 2,200 rupees to hire a jeep，in addition to the entry cost.”和“Besides，unlike many national parks in India，it's possible to take private vehicles into Bandhavgarh.”可知，公园允许游客开私家车进入，不用必须租借吉普车。故A选项正确。
B
Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years，but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers，small，tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other.Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago，when the world had just five to ten million people，they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards，many of those people started settling down to become farmers，and their languages，too，became more settled and fewer in number.In recent centuries，trade，industrialisation，the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education，especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades，all have caused many languages to disappear，and dominant languages such as English，Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
At present，the world has about 6,800 languages.The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven.The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages，often spoken by many people，while hot，wet zones have lots，often spoken by small numbers.Europe has only around 200 languages；the Americas about 1,000；Africa 2,400；and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200，of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800.The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000，which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡)，with only a few elderly speakers left.Pick，at random，Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers)，Chiapaneco in Mexico (150)，Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one，with a question-mark)：none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了世界上语言的种类随着人类社会的发展而逐渐减少这一现象。
24．What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times？ B
A．They developed very fast.
B．They were large in number.
C．They had similar patterns.
D．They were closely connected.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago，when the world had just five to ten million people，they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.”可知，一些语言专家认为，一万年前，当世界上只有500万到1 000万人时，他们之间可能说12 000种语言。由此可推断，采猎文明时期的语言种类很多。A项曲解文意，文中提到采猎文明时期语言很多，但这不代表语言发展快。C、D两项颠倒是非，根据第一段中“small，tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other”可知，这些语言是相互独立的，不具有相似模式，语言间也没有密切联系。
25．Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in paragraph 2？ C
A．Complex. B．Advanced.
C．Powerful. D．Modern.
解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“...all have caused many languages to disappear，and dominant languages such as English，Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.”可知，人类社会发展的很多因素导致许多语言消失，而逐渐被如英语、西班牙语、汉语等语言取代，这就暗示出这些语言是“占优势的”，故选C项powerful(强大的，有影响力的)。complex复杂的；advanced先进的；modern现代的。
26．How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present？ B
A．About 6,800. B．About 3,400.
C．About 2,400. D．About 1,200.
解析：数字计算题。根据第三段中的“At present，the world has about 6,800 languages.”可知，目前世界上有大约6 800种语言；再根据“The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000，which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.”可知，目前世界上一半的语言的使用人数少于6 000，也就是说有大约3 400种语言的使用人数少于6 000。
27．What is the main idea of the text？ C
A．New languages will be created.
B．People's lifestyles are reflected in languages.
C．Human development results in fewer languages.
D．Geography determines language evolution.
解析：主旨大意题。文章介绍了语言的种类随着人类社会的发展而逐渐减少这一现象，故C项概括全面。A项颠倒是非，文章介绍的是语言的减少而不是新语言的创造。B、D两项无中生有，文中没有提到人们的生活方式会反映到语言上，也没有提到地理决定语言的发展。
C
Tom Costello was once afraid of homeless Americans.“I was so afraid that if I saw a homeless person walking down the street，I'd cross the street，” he said.
That changed seven years ago after his wife，Nancy，a volunteer at a homeless shelter，persuaded him to help with a holiday dinner for shelter residents.Tom remembered going to a store and buying socks for the residents.He knew many of them were in need of clothing.
At the shelter，Tom said，he dropped a pair of socks into a bag for a woman.She asked him if she could have socks for a friend who wasn't with her that day.He gave her another pair.“She started to cry and told me that nobody had ever given her socks before，” Tom said，“Then she reached out and gave me a hug.” That experience at the shelter helped Tom end his fear of the homeless.
It also led him to set up a group called “The Joy of Sox”，which borrows from a name of a popular book.The group collects socks from donors and gives them mostly to shelters in the area where Tom and Nancy live.It has been expanding its reach and provides socks to homeless shelters in 21 states and other three countries now.
Why socks? Tom explains that some Americans give food，coats and other clothing to shelters.But donating socks is not something most people think about.And，he said，socks are very helpful at keeping people warm，especially in cold weather.A man named Kiwi，who has lived in homeless shelters，said most of the time he could find enough food through shelters and soup kitchens.But socks were much more difficult to get，he noted.
文章大意： 本文为记叙文。汤姆本来是一个害怕那些无家可归的人，因为一次在庇护所的经历，让他不仅摆脱了恐惧的心理，还建立了一个“The Joy of Sox”组织，给无家可归的人们提供袜子。
28．What removed Tom' s fright of the homeless？ D
A．A woman's need for socks.
B．The encouragement from Nancy.
C．The hug from a homeless person.
D．The first experience of helping the homeless.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二和三段的内容可知，汤姆的妻子说服他帮助这些庇护所的人准备节日晚餐，汤姆带着买的袜子去看这些人，得到袜子的妇女拥抱了她。在第三段中“That experience at the shelter helped Tom end his fear of the homeless.”这一次经历让他摆脱了对无家可归的人的恐惧。
29．What did Tom do when the woman asked for another pair of socks？ C
A．He felt afraid.
B．He walked away.
C．He satisfied her demand.
D．He gave her a hug.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She asked him if she could have socks for a friend who wasn't with her that day.He gave her another pair.”可知，当那个妇女想再要一双袜子时，汤姆又给了她一双，由此可知汤姆满足了这个妇女的要求。分析选项可知C项正确。
30．What can we know about “The Joy of Sox”？ A
A．It got the name from a book.
B．It was founded by Tom and Nancy.
C．It helps the homeless of three countries.
D．It buys different socks for the homeless.
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段可知，汤姆成立了一个名为“Sox的喜悦”的组织，它的名字借用了一本受欢迎的书的名字。该组织从捐赠者那里收集袜子，并把它们大部分送到汤姆和南茜居住的地区避难所的人。现在已在21个州和其他的三个国家庇护所给那些无家可归的提供袜子。由此可知这个名字是从一本书而得名的，故A正确。组织者是汤姆故B错误；帮助21 个州和其他的三个国家庇护所的无家可归的人，C只说了一部分，是错误的；袜子不是买的而是从捐赠者那收集的，故D也是错误的。所以A正确。
31．Why does Tom provide socks for the homeless？ A
A．The homeless are lack of socks.
B．Tom' s wife persuaded him to do so.
C．Socks are popular among the donators.
D．The homeless can't buy socks in shelters.
解析：细节理解题。根据第五段可知，庇护所里有许多捐赠的食物及衣服。但是大多数人想不到捐赠袜子的。尤其是在寒冷的天气，袜子对保暖非常有帮助。大多数时候可以找到足够的食物。但袜子要难得多。分析选项可知A项符合题意，故选A。
D
When parents discover their child has lied to them for the first time，it can often come as a shock to find their little treasure is capable of such tricking.But new research has suggested many parents may not even notice many of the lies their children tell them.
Psychologists have discovered that most parents are overconfident in their child's honesty and this may lower their ability to spot a lie.
The findings may help to explain why some parents seem to be willing to let their children get away with almost anything. They say that mothers and fathers suffer from a “truth prejudice” with their own youngsters but when faced with lies from other people's children，they have less difficulty telling if a statement is true or not.
Dr.Angela Evans, a psychologist at Brock University in Ontario, Canada, said，“The close relationship that parents share with their own children may be related to their lives.Parents truth prejudice may reflect a rigid and perhaps prejudiced idea of their own children based on previous experiences. This view may result in parents being less suspicious of their children and allowing for their children to be able to successfully cheat them.”
Most children are thought to start lying as early as two years old but start telling more believable lies at around the age of four. Learning how to lie is widely considered to be a key part of the social development in children. But many parents are shocked when their children start lying to them.
In their study, Dr. Evans and her colleagues filmed 118 children as they performed a test. Then videos of those children were shown to 152 parents of children aged 8 to 16 years old, 80 of whom had children who had taken part in the test. The researchers found that the parents were less able to spot lies told by their own children.However, they were better at finding truths than parents whose children hadn't taken part in the test.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。实验表明，多数父母对自己的孩子有“取真偏见”，往往不能识别自己孩子的谎言，但却能辨别真相。
32．Why do parents have difficulty finding their children's lies？ A
A．Parents are too trusting of their children.
B．Children know how to earn their parents' trust.
C．Parents may establish no close relationship with children.
D．Children don't communicate with parents about everything.
解析：细节理解题。由第二段“... most parents are over-confident in their child's honesty...”一句可知，多数父母对自己孩子的诚实过于自信。故答案选A。
33．What does the underlined word “suspicious” (Para.4) mean？ B
A．Concerned. B．Skeptical.
C．Realistic. D．Neutral.
解析：词义猜测题。由第四段可知，父母和孩子的亲密关系的建立来自长期的共同生活，由此基于以往的经历，父母对自己的孩子会产生固定或有偏向的看法，因此当孩子说谎时，他们不太怀疑。由此可以推测画线词的意思是“可疑的”。故答案选B。
34．What does the test show in the last paragraph？ D
A．Children aged 18 to 16 are better at telling lies.
B．Parents with children aged 8 to 16 tend to recognize lies.
C．Children participating in the test are better at telling truths.
D．Parents are better at telling truths rather than lies from children.
解析：推理判断题。根据短文最后两句可知，参与测试的孩子的父母不善于识别谎言，但却能辨别真相。因此答案选D。
35．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？ C
A．Should Children Tell Lies to Their Parents?
B．What Should Parents Do When Children Lie?
C．Why Parents Fail to Tell Their Children's Lies?
D．Can Parents Tell Whether Children Are Lying or Not?
解析：标题归纳题。纵观全文可知，心理学家发现多数父母都有“取真偏见”，因此往往不能识别自己孩子的谎言。故C项作标题最为合适。
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。
How to Meet New People
Everybody knows that first impressions count. If you want to know how to meet people, just follow these steps.
◆Live in the moment.
To meet new people, the first thing you have to do is enjoy the present moment of the new conversation. Let go of your expectations and fears. 36.D

Just smile, talk about the things that you love, and show everyone that you love who you are, where you are, and what you do.
38.C Stand tall, maintain eye contact, and don't fidget with your hands or look at the floor. When you introduce yourself, speak clearly and loudly enough that you'll be heard.
◆Be positive.
39.F You should smile from time to time. Talk about the things you love, the things that make you happy, and your interests to keep people engaged.
Don't talk about your long-standing hatred for a certain teacher, or classmate. 40.G The occasional “That's so true！” or “I know exactly what you mean！” will be far more positive.
A．Stay confident.
B．Communicate in a fun and casual way.
C．Body language can help you stay confident.

E．Don't ask for the person's number in the middle of the conversation.
F．Maintaining a positive attitude will make people want to talk to you.
G．Don't nod and agree with what the person is saying every five seconds.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一些与新结识的人谈话时的建议。
解析：
36．上文提到“在与新结识的人谈话时要享受当前时刻，不要有期望和恐惧”。D项意为“它们(即期望和恐惧)会阻碍谈话顺利地展开。”，与上文形成因果关系，符合语境。
37．根据下面两段话涉及的内容可以判断出，作者给第二个建议主要是让人们要自信，所以A项“保持自信。”适合用作中心句。
38．根据后面讲述的内容可知，本段主要谈的是运用肢体语言的情况，所以C项“肢体语言能帮助你保持自信。”符合语境。
39．由该段标题“Be positive。”可知，F项“保持积极乐观的态度能让人们想和你谈话。”与下文紧密相连，因此正确答案选F。
40．下文提到，当赞同对方的看法时最好能说一些表示赞同的话。G项意为“不要点头，每隔五秒说一些表示赞同对方说的话。”，与下文照应，故答案选G。

文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。大多数人收到陌生人发来的信息时，往往只是提醒对方弄错了号码。而本文的主人公丹尼斯在收到一条陌生人发来的信息后却做了不同寻常的事。他做了什么事呢？他的所作所为对别人产生了什么影响呢？让我们赶快来读这篇文章吧！
41．A．unlucky B．secret
C．new D．wrong
解析：上文语境题。 联系前文的“unknown person(不认识的人)”可知，这可能是错误的(wrong)电话号码。unlucky不幸的；secret秘密的；new新的。
42．A．received B．translated
C．copied D．printed
解析：上文语境题。联系前文的“get a text message(收到一条信息)”可知，此处表示丹尼斯·威廉姆斯收到(receive)了一条很明显本不是发给他的信息。translate翻译；copy抄写；print印刷。
43．A．reasonable B．special
C．necessary D．practical
解析：上下文语境题。前面提到，大多数人收到陌生人发来的信息时，通常只是提醒对方弄错了号码。再由后文可知，丹尼斯做了不同寻常的(special)事情。reasonable合情合理的；necessary必要的；practical实用的。
44．A．convincing B．reminding
C．informing D．warning
解析：词义辨析题。由语境可知，此处表示丹尼斯收到一条群发信息，告知(inform)他一对他不认识的夫妇在医院里等待一个婴儿的出生。convince说服；remind提醒；warn警告，提醒。发信息应是告知某人某事。
45．A．wake-up B．recovery
C．growth D．arrival

46．A．responded B．interrupted
C．predicted D．repeated
解析：上文语境题。 联系空前的“I think someone was mistaken”可知，丹尼斯回复了(respond)信息。interrupt打断；predict预测；repeat重复。
47．A．coming in B．setting out
C．passing down D．moving around
解析：上下文语境题。由上下文可知，新生儿的祖母因为孩子的出生非常高兴，所以群发了一条信息。come in到来；set out 出发；pass down传递；move around四处移动。故选A。
48．A．opinion B．anxiety
C．excitement D．effort
解析：上文语境题。由上文的overjoyed可知，新生儿的祖母因为兴奋(excitement)所以把信息发错了对象。opinion意见，看法；anxiety焦虑；effort努力。
49．A．comparing B．exchanging
C．discussing D．sharing
解析：上文语境题。由前文内容可知，新生儿的祖母发错了信息，跟陌生人分享(share)了婴儿的照片。compare比较；exchange交流，交换；discuss讨论。
50．A．accept B．know
C．believe D．bother
解析：上文语境题。由前文的“a complete stranger”可知，丹尼斯不认识(know)新生儿一家人。accept接受；believe 相信；bother打扰。
51．A．parents B．doctors
C．patients D．visitors
解析：上文语境题。由第二段中的“a couple he didn't know were at the hospital，waiting for the arrival of a baby”可知，此处是指那对初为人父母(parents)的夫妇。doctor医生；patient病人；visitor参观者。由语境可知，选A。
52．A．dream B．promise
C．agenda D．principle
解析：上文语境题。前文提到丹尼斯回复说，他尽管不认识新生儿一家人，还是要到医院跟新生儿合影。此处表示令新生儿一家人想不到的是，丹尼斯说到做到，出现在了医院里。由语境可知，他答应(promise)做的事情做到了。dream梦想；agenda议事日程；principle原则。
53．A．bearing B．collecting
C．opening D．making
解析：上下文语境题。由语境可知，丹尼斯出现在医院里，并且给那位妈妈和刚出生的男婴带(bear)了礼物。collect收集；open打开；make制作。
54．A．discouraged B．relaxed
C．astonished D．defeated
解析：上文语境题。由上文的“much to the family's surprise”可知，Lindsey的丈夫根本没有想到丹尼斯会去医院。句意：意外的来访令Lindsey的丈夫很吃惊(astonished)。discourage使气馁；relax放松；defeat打败，击败。均不符合语境。
55．A．admit B．need
C．appreciate D．expect
解析：上下文语境题。由语境可知，虽然新生儿一家人没想到偶然邀请了一个陌生人，但是还是感激(appreciate)他和他的礼物。admit承认；need需要；expect预料，盼望。
56．A．found B．selected
C．developed D．posted
解析：下文语境题。由空后的“on a social networking website”可知，丹尼斯把这次偶然见面的照片发布(post)到网上。文章最后也提到了“the post”。find发现；select选择，精挑细选；develop发展，开发。
57．A．confirmed B．simplified
C．clarified D．accompanied
解析：上下文语境题。丹尼斯把照片发到了网上，并且配上(accompany)了感人的话语。confirm确认；simplify 使简化；clarify澄清。
58．A．pity B．blessing
C．relief D．problem
解析：上文语境题。由上文内容可知，丹尼斯的来访令新生儿一家人很吃惊，他们很感激他，他的来访对新生儿一家人来说是一件幸事(blessing)。pity遗憾；relief减轻(痛苦等)；problem问题。
59．A．smart B．calm
C．sweet D．fair
解析：上文语境题。根据语境可知，四个选项中与kind并列的是sweet。句意：他做这件事真是太友好和善良了。smart聪明的，精明的；calm冷静的；sweet甜的，友好的；fair公平的。
60．A．sympathy B．attention
C．control D．trust
解析：下文语境题。由空后的“receiving more than 184,000 shares and 61,500 likes in just three days”可知，这个帖子引起了全世界社交媒体用户的关注(attention)。sympathy同情，同情心；control控制；trust信任。
第二节：(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，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。
Joris Hutchison,10 years old，of Seattle，has worked hard all year to save cheetahs(猎豹)from the very real threat of extinction.He has raised more than $14,000 to purchase GPS devices， 61.which follow and protect the animals.He earns money by selling lemonade，flowers and T-shirts，and by 62.organizing (organize) skating parties and a garage sale.What moved the public 63.was (be) that Joris donated all that he raised to a wildlife conservation organization and shelter in Namibia where he and his mother have volunteered for 64.the past three summers.
As the group's 65.youngest (young) of all the volunteers，Joris prepares food，cleans enclosures(围场)，and creates improvement 66.items (item) for the cheetahs that live there，all of whom 67.were injured (injure) or raised by human beings in the past.The shelter protects cheetahs in the wild by convincing farmers not 68.to shoot (shoot) the animals and instead，to allow the ones accused 69.of killing farm animals to be fixed with GPS devices.“I've learned that everyone can make a 70.difference (different)，even if you're just a kid！” Joris told Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes.“You just have to start somewhere.”
文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。讲述的是来自Seattle 10岁的Joris Hutchison，一直在努力工作，为拯救猎豹使其免受灭绝的真正威胁。
解析：
61．考查非限制性定语从句。他已经筹集了超过14,000美元来购买GPS设备，这些设备可以跟踪和保护这些动物。此处GPS devices是先行词，指物，在后面的非限制性定语从句中做主语，故答案为which。
62．考查动名词。介词后面用动名词做宾语，by doing sth.“通过做某事”，故答案为organizing。
63．考查主谓一致。让公众感动的是，Joris把他所有的东西都捐赠给了Namibia的一个野生动物保护组织和庇护所，在那里他和他的母亲在过去的三个夏天都是志愿者。此处是what引导的主语从句，主语从句做主语后面的谓语动词用单数形式，故答案为was。
64．考查定冠词the。让公众感动的是，Joris把他所有的东西都捐赠给了Namibia的一个野生动物保护组织和庇护所，在那里他和他的母亲在过去的三个夏天都是志愿者。习惯用法：for the past three summers“在最近的三个夏天”，故答案为the。
65．考查形容词最高级。作为该组织中最年轻的志愿者，Joris准备食物，清洁围场，为生活在那里的猎豹创造改善项目。根据the和all the volunteers可知此处用形容词的最高级，故答案为youngest。
66．考查名词的数。作为该组织中最年轻的志愿者，Joris准备食物，清洁围场，为生活在那里的猎豹创造改善项目。item“条款，项目”，是可数名词，结合句意可知此处用名词复数，故答案为items。
67．考查被动语态。此处the cheetahs是先行词，all of whom是非限制性定语从句的主语，和injure是被动关系，句子用一般过去时态的被动语态，故答案为were injured。
68．考查动词不定式。这个避难所通过说服农民不要射杀这些动物来保护野生猎豹。convince sb.to do sth.“说服某人做某事”，故答案为to shoot。
69．考查固定词组。该庇护所通过说服农民不要射杀动物从而保护野生猎豹，相反让那些被指控杀死家畜的人用GPS设备固定住。accuse sb.of sth.“指控某人做某事”，故答案为of。
70．考查固定搭配。make a difference“有影响，有关系”，故答案为difference。
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)

答案：
Nowadays，after-class activities are becoming increasingly in senior high school.We also have many of after-class activities in our school，such as English Corner，Sunshine Radio Station，Happy Reading Club and so on.I'm most interested in English Corner， can not only help me make some new friends but also my spoken English.，I'm a member of Sunshine Radio Station. Monday morning，every student able to enjoy my sweet voice all over our school.Here I can have unforgettable experience and I hope my dream of a host may come true one day.These after-class activities make me become more confident and enrich my school life as well as.
文章大意：这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了高中课外活动对学生的影响。
解析：
71．考查形容词。分析句子可知，本句中的popularly是作becoming 的表语，作表语要用形容词，故把popularly改为popular。
72．考查名词的数。文中的kind前面被many修饰，且后面的after-class activities是复数，故kind也要用复数kinds。
73．考查非限制性定语从句的关系词。分析句子“I'm most interested in English Corner，that can not only helps me make some new friends but also improving my spoken English.”可知，本句是非限制性定语从句，非限制性定语从句的关系词指物时不能用that，只能用which。
74．考查谓语动词。根据前面的“can not only help me make some new friends but also improving my spoken English”可知，本句中的谓语动词是由not only...but also连接的并列谓语动词，故后面的improve是与help用同样的时态，故improving改为improve。
75．考查副词。分析句子“I'm most interested in English Corner，that can not only helps me make some new friends but also improving my spoken English.However，I'm a member of Sunshine Radio Station.”可知我对英语角最感兴趣，它不仅能帮助我交一些新朋友，还能提高我的英语口语。而且，我是阳光广播电台的一员，……。分析内容可知，前后两句是递进关系，而非转折关系，故把However改为Besides。
76．考查介词。分析In Monday morning可知，Monday morning是确切的某一天。在确定的某一天不用介词in，而是on。
77．考查主谓一致。主语是every student，为单数，谓语动词要用单数is，故把are改为is。
78．考查冠词。experience作为“经历”时为可数名词，表示一次“经历”时时要用不定冠词，由于experience被形容词unforgettable修饰，所以在元音前要用an。故在have后添加an。
79．考查非谓语动词。分析“I hope my dream of be a host...”可知，本句中的be a host作介词of的宾语，动词不能直接做宾语，所以要用动词的ing形式做宾语，故把be改为being。
80．考查固定用法。as well，意为“也，同样地，此外”。而as well as...意为“(除……之外)也，既……又”，如果as后没有宾语时，要去掉as。本句中as后没有宾语，故把as去掉。

W：I have a question.You say that many people have several learning styles.Is that good?

Text 10
Two businessmen were invited to dinner at the home of a college professor.One of the men had not had much education and was worried that he might make a fool of himself，but his friend said，“Don't worry.Just do what I do，and don't talk about anything you don't really understand.”
The first man managed to get through the dinner successfully，but by the end of the evening he had had a lot to drink，and he began to get careless.
A guest asked him whether he liked Shakespeare，and he answered confidently，“It's very pleasant，but I prefer Coca-Cola.” There was an uncomfortable silence in the room，and soon people began to leave.
When the two friends were out of the house，the second man said to his friend，“You certainly made a fool of yourself by making that silly remark about Coca-Cola.”
“What do you mean？” asked the other man.“What was wrong with it？”
“Everyone knows that Shakespeare isn't a drink，”his friend replied.“It's a kind of cheese.”
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
Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.
What to Expect
The host will provide accommodation and meals.Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week.You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.
Meal Plans Available
※ Continental Breakfast
※ Breakfast and Dinner
※ Breakfast，Packed Lunch and Dinner
It's important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast.Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice，cereal(谷物类食品)，bread and tea or coffee.Cheese，fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England.Dinner usually consists of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert，fruit and coffee.
Friends
If you wish to invite a friend over to visit，you must first ask your host's permission.You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.
Self-catering Accommodation in Private Homes
Accommodation on a room-only basis includes a shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room.This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student.However，it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.
文章大意：这是一篇广告宣传。本文是写给要到英国学习语言的人的，主要介绍了英国的Homestay的特点以及具体的信息。
21．Which of the following will be provided by the host？__A__
A．Room cleaning. B．Medical care.
C．Physical training. D．Free accommodation.

C．Fruit juice and bread. D．Dessert and tea.
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice，cereal(谷物类食品)，bread and tea or coffee.”可知，早餐包括果汁，面包，茶，咖啡等。故C选项正确。

解析：细节理解题。由文中最后一段的“This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student.”可知，self-catering accommodation 可以给学生提供一个独立的生活方式。故A选项正确。

There have long been fears that robots may one day take over the world. But concerns that they will take over the job market may have been lessened, thanks to an experiment in Scotland.
Fabio was the first robotic shop assistant to be employed there but was let go after one week. The “ShopBot” had been developed by Heriot－Watt University and was seen attempting to fulfill his duties at upmarket store Margiotta，in Edinburgh.
At first he got off to a good start, charming customers with high fives, hugs and greetings. But within a few days Fabio began irritating and confusing shoppers at the flagship store. When one asked which aisle the beer could be found Fabio gave a vague answer—“It's in the alcohol section”. And despite his best efforts, the background noise in the busy supermarket made it difficult for him to understand customers.
Aware that the first day at a new job can be stressed for anybody, his understanding colleagues moved him from the aisles to a sampling role. But the robot became too enthusiastic when asked to hand out portions of pulled pork—alarming customers as they fled from him.
“We thought a robot was a great addition to show the customers that we are always wanting to do something new and exciting，” said Elena Margiotta, who runs the chain of shops with father Franco and sister Luisa.
But it wasn't long before Fabio was noticeably outperformed by his human colleagues. People seemed to be actually avoiding him. The robot also struggled to move around the shop fluidly and had difficulty in directing customers to the items they were looking for.
Sadly his bosses were left with no other Choice but to let him go.
And when Franco had to tell the eager robot that they would not be renewing his contact, Fabio asked, “Are you angry？”It was an emotional moment for the staff and some were reduced to tears when he was packed away and shipped back to the university.
文章大意：本文为新闻特写。讲述了一个机器人的实验。机器人Fabio被尝试投放在一个商店工作并最终被送回的经历，告诉人们不必过分担忧机器人可能代替人类劳动力。
24．Why do some people feel relieved about the experiment in Scotland？__C__
A．Because robots may take over the world.
B．Because robots are doing well in job market.
C．Because robots may not be as capable as expected.
D．Because robots are not following their bosses' instructions.

25．At first，customers felt __B__ to be greeted by Fabio.
A．angry B．happy
C．confused D．bothered
解析：推理判断题。由第三段首句“At first he got off to a good start，charming customers with high fives，hugs and greetings.”可知答案为B。
26．Fabio's responsibilities in the store include the following EXCEPT __B__.
A．giving customers samples
B．distributing the colleagues' duties
C．directing the customers to the items
D．welcoming and talking to customers

27．We can read this passage in the __A__ section of the newspaper.
A．science B．entertainment

解析：推理判断题。短文介绍了机器人的实验，由此可以推断这是科学小品文。故A项正确。
C
Once upon a time，a daughter complained to her father that her life was unhappy and that she was tired of struggling all the time.
Her father，a chef，took her to the kitchen.He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire.Once the three pots began to boil，he placed potatoes，eggs and coffee beans in them.After 20 minutes，he took them out，putting the potatoes and eggs in a bowl and the coffee in a cup.Turning to his daughter，he said，“Look closer，and touch the potatoes.” She did and noted that they were soft.He then asked her to take an egg and break it.After pulling off the shell，she observed the hard-boiled egg.Finally，he asked her to taste the coffee.Its good smell brought a smile to her face.
“Father，what does this mean？” she asked.He then explained that the potatoes，the eggs and the coffee beans were in the same adversity (逆境)—the boiling water.However，each one reacted differently.
The strong and hard potato became soft and weak in boiling water.The egg was fragile，with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid until it was put in the boiling water.Then the inside of the egg became hard.However，the coffee beans were unique.After they were exposed to the boiling water，they changed the water and created something new.“Which one do you want to be like？” he asked.“When adversity knocks on your door，how will you respond？”
In life，challenges happen to us all，but the only thing that truly matters is what happens within us.
文章大意：这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述一个女孩告诉爸爸，她厌倦于生活中的努力、奋斗，想放弃。于是爸爸将她带到厨房，用土豆，鸡蛋和咖啡分别在热水里煮，让她看这三种东西的反应，从而启发孩子在逆境的时候应该怎么做。
28．Why did the girl complain to her father？__B__
A．Because of her father's busy work.
B．Because of her hard life.
C．Because of her tiring job.
D．Because of the food her father cooked.
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段“a daughter complained to her father that her life was unhappy and that she was tired of struggling all the time.”可知，是因为生活不快乐，厌倦了一直努力奋斗而向父亲抱怨，由此可知女孩是因为生活中的困难向父亲抱怨。分析选项可知，B项符合题意。
29．What can we infer from this story？__A__
A．Different people have different reactions towards adversity.
B．The father was good at cooking.
C．The girl didn't like the potatoes and eggs.
D．The girl liked the coffee best.
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段“He then explained that the potatoes，the eggs and the coffee beans were in the same adversity (逆境)—the boiling water.However，each one reacted differently.(他解释说，土豆、鸡蛋和咖啡豆处于同一逆境——沸水。然而，每一种反应都不同。)”，然后第四段中描述了三种物品在沸水中的反应，从而得出“When adversity knocks on your door，how will you respond？”当不幸降临时，你该如何应对？你是一个土豆、一颗鸡蛋还是一粒咖啡豆？即面对逆境，你会如何回应？所以不同的人们面对逆境有不同的反应。分析选项可知，A项正确。
30．What does the underlined word “fragile” mean in the 4th paragraph？__D__
A．thick B．hard
C．strong D．easily-broken
解析：词义猜测题。 根据第四段中的“The egg was fragile，with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid until it was put in the boiling water.Then the inside of the egg became hard.”根据后一句可知，鸡蛋的外壳很薄，保护着里面的液体，直到它被放进沸水里，然后鸡蛋的内部变得坚硬。由此可推断出fragile意为“易碎的”。
31．What would be the best title for the passage？__C__
A．Father and daughter
B．A chef and coffee beans
C．Challenges and responses
D．Adversities and a chef
解析：标题归纳题。本文讲述了一个爸爸面对女儿厌倦生活的困难，不想努力时，用了土豆，鸡蛋和咖啡豆在被开水煮时不同的反应来告诉女儿，面对困境应当如何反应。故C项(挑战与反应)符合文意，为最佳标题。故选C项。
D
Most people know something about the greenhouse effect.Factories send gasses such as carbon dioxide，or CO2，into the atmosphere，the air around the earth.In the past，this wasn't a problem because trees absorbed the CO2.But now people in many countries are cutting down billions of trees all around the world.At the same time，factories are sending more CO2 into the atmosphere.It's difficult to believe，but factories put billions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere every year.One ton is over 2,000 pounds，so it is a lot of pollution.There is too much CO2 and there aren't enough trees，so the world is getting warmer.In other words，we have a greenhouse effect.This is terrible for the environment.
What can we do about this? First, we can stop using so much coal and oil.We can learn to use different kinds of energy: the sun，wind，steam from volcanoes，and heat from inside the earth.Second，instead of cutting down trees，we should plant more trees.One tree can absorb ten pounds of carbon dioxide every year.
The trees are good for the earth's atmosphere and for Guatemala (拉丁美洲国家危地马拉)．In small towns and villages in Guatemala，most women are poor and have hard lives.Trees help them in three ways.First，the Connecticut factories pay them to plant the trees.Their pay is corn，not money.The corn is good for their children.Second，these women know a lot about their environment.They know where to plant，when to plant，and what kinds of trees to plant.For example，they plant many fruit trees.The fruit gives them vitamins for their families，diets.Other trees are good for firewood.In a few years，the women won't spend so much time looking for firewood.Third，all these trees are good for the soil.Now rain can't wash the soil down from the mountains so easily.
This plan isn't enough to stop the greenhouse effect.However，it's a start.The women of Guatemala are helping themselves and helping their environment.
文章大意：这是一篇议论文。本文讲述的是引起温室效应的原因，以及针对温室效应已经应该采取的措施。包括停止使用这么多的煤和石油，种更多的树，因为一棵树每年能吸收十磅的二氧化碳。
32．Which of the following statement is NOT true？__B__
A．Factories send more CO2 into the atmosphere.
B．Trees can't absorb the same CO2 as they did in the past.
C．Billions of trees are being cut down throughout the world.
D．The greenhouse effect is extremely bad for the environment.
解析：细节理解题。由文中第一段的“There is too much CO2 and there aren't enough trees”可知，是因为树木越来越少，二氧化碳越来越多，所以才无法像以前一样能吸收掉，而不是因为树木的吸收力不如以前了，B选项表述错误。故B选项正确。
33．What's the main idea of the second paragraph？__D__
A．The reasons why we should plant more trees.
B．Ways we can adopt to take heat from volcanoes.
C．Measures to be taken to forbid the use of coal and oil.
D．Things we can do to stop or reduce the greenhouse effect.
解析：主旨大意题。第二段主要讲了针对温室效应的办法，包括停止煤和汽油的使用以及多种树木。故D选项正确。
34．How does planting trees help improve women's lives in Guatemala？__D__
A．By preventing the greenhouse effect.
B．By developing their skills of planting trees.
C．By enabling them to earn more money to support their family.
D．By making them get corn and fruit to feed their family in return.
解析：推理判断题。由文中倒数第二段的they plant many fruit trees.The fruit gives them vitamins for their families，diets可知，这些女性种植果树可以满足他们家庭的食物，这样有利于提高他们的生活水平。故D选项正确。
35．What's the author's attitude towards the plan of planting trees in Guatemala？__C__
A．Critical. B．Neutral.
C．Positive. D．Doubtful.
解析：推理判断题。根据文中倒数第二段的第一句“The trees are good for the earth's atmosphere and for Guatemala(拉丁美洲国家危地马拉)”以及最后一段可知，作者对于在危地马拉种植树木的态度是积极、乐观的。故C选项正确。

Not too long ago，a young man asked me a question: how do you make study more fun? You can improve your study habits and make your process more enjoyable.It's a matter of many things.
Manage your time
36.F All it takes is sitting down with a calendar，and just mapping out everything you need to do and the time you need to do it: projects，tests，part-time work，homework，parties，doctor appointments.
Set the mood
First，choose a good study area. 37.A Your spot may be in your dorm/bedroom or the library.If you prefer to lie on your bed or sit in a corner of the library，develop a study routine that will allow you to focus.Clean spaces are said to improve productivity.To help you focus，turn off your phone! And while you're at it，limit your access to the Internet.
Make it a game
Are you the competitive type? Try competing against yourself. 38.G Or try joining or starting a study group with fiends and take bets on who can get the most right answers when doing homework.
Take breaks
In that hour or two you've scheduled for studying，make sure you also give yourself enough breaks.Set a timer—even a short one，like 25 minutes—and work during that time.When the timer goes off，give yourself a few minutes to relax，drink some water，etc. 39.D
Reward yourself sweet treats and other snacks often come to mind as a “reward”，and that might work for you，but it's also probably not a great idea to eat a bag of potato chips after every 25-minute study session.Rewards can be as simple as allowing yourself to watch some interesting videos. 40.E
A．And we mean a specific，unique spot.
B．it's important to realize and make peace with the fact that studying isn't always going to be “fun”．
C．You can learn how to learn more effectively.
D．Then set another timer and dive back into your studying.
E．Or you can set goals，and then buy yourself something fun when you meet them.
F．Time management may be the secret weapon to succeeding at everything!
G．See if you can improve your reading speed to get yourself under a certain number of pages in five minutes.
文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。你如何让学习变得更有趣？你可以改善你的学习习惯，让你的过程更愉快。
解析：
36．根据小标题“Manage your time(管理好你的时间)”，由此可知，F项“Time management may be the secret weapon to succeeding at everything！(时间管理可能是在任何事情上成功的秘密武器！)”切题。该项中的management与小标题中Manage对应。
37．上文提到“首先，选择一个好的学习区域。”再根据下文“你的地点可能在你的房间/卧室或图书馆里。”承接上下文，A项“And we mean a specific，unique spot.(我们指的是一个特定的、独特的地点。)”切题。该项中的spot与上下文中的area/spot对应。
38．上文提到“试着与自己竞争。”下文提到“或者试着加入或开始一个有朋友的学习小组，并在做家庭作业时，打赌谁能得到最正确的答案。”承接上下文，G项“See if you can improve your reading speed to get yourself under a certain number of pages in five minutes.(看看你是否能提高你的阅读速度，让你在五分钟内把自己的阅读速度提高到一定的页数。)”切题。该项中的see if与上下文中的try保持一致。
39．上文提到“当计时器停止时，给自己几分钟放松，喝点水，等等。”承接上文，D项“Then set another timer and dive back into your studying.(然后再设定一个计时器，然后再投入到学习中去。)”该项中的then起到上下文的衔接作用。
40．上文提到“奖励可以简单到让你自己看一些有趣的视频。”承接上文，E项“Or you can set goals，and then buy yourself something fun when you meet them.(或者你可以设定目标，然后在你遇到他们的时候给自己买一些有趣的东西。)”切题。该项中的something fun与上文的interesting videos对应。
第三部分：英语知识运用(共两节；满分45分)
第一节：完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)

文章大意：本文属于说明文。京剧名家袁慧琴在瑞典的斯德哥尔摩和俄罗斯的圣彼得堡主持了两场京剧文化交流活动。
解析：
61．考查定语从句。空处引导定语从句，先行词是talks，空处在从句中作主语，故用which或that。
62．考查动词的时态和语态。此处讲述的是过去的动作，应用一般过去时；主语是The two sessions，与organize是被动关系，故应用被动语态。
63．考查名词的数。根据本句中的“of Chinese embassies”可知，应用member的复数形式。
64．考查非谓语动词。空处是非谓语动词作后置定语，show与those是逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词。
65．考查词性转换之形容词变副词。此处修饰谓语动词，故用副词。
66．考查代词。她的演讲被翻译成瑞典语和俄语。故使用she的形容词性物主代词。
67．考查词性转换之名词变形容词。这里使用形容词修饰后面的Chinese operas，表示“传统的中国戏剧”。
68．考查非谓语动词。get sb. to do sth.“使某人做某事”，experience在此作动词用，表示“经历，体验”。
69．考查介词。in addition意为“此外，除此之外”，相当于besides。
70．考查冠词。on the spot “当场”，是固定搭配，故填the。

文章大意：这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲了作者的父母希望作者能有一个好的将来，所以他们督促作者努力学习，考上大学，最终作者也没有让父母失望，考取了大学。
解析：
71．考查非谓语动词。hope与my parents是主动关系，所以这里需用现在分词。故需将Hoped 改为Hoping。
72．考查动词。push为及物动词，push sb to do sth“督促或迫使某人做某事”，所以这里不需要be动词were，故将were删除。
73．考查介词。at the first time这里需改为for the first time“第一次”。故需将at改为for。
74．考查名词性从句。that在句中只能起连接作用，而这句中did后有一个连接代词引导的宾语从句，从句中expect后也缺少宾语，所以这里需用what，可作双重身份，即引导宾语从句，又作expect的宾语。故需将that改为what。
75．考查动词短语。let sb down“让某人失望”。这里的意思是作者不想让父母失望，let off“耗尽”。故需将off改为down。
76．考查连词。这里的意思是我出生在一个富裕的家庭，我知道生活不易，该句前后应是转折关系，and表示顺承，并列关系。but表示转折。故需将and改为but。
77．考查冠词。lead a good/better life，“过着好的生活”，为固定搭配，所以这里lead后缺少a。
78．考查不可数名词。pressure作压力讲时为不可数名词，所以这里需将pressures改为pressure。
79．考查动词的时态。and并列连接的两个动词时态需一致，由前面的had以及本文时态可知，这里需用一般过去时，所以需将am改为was。
80．考查固定用法。make it“成功做到某事”，为一种固定用法，故需将them改为it。
