Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I started to learn English from the first grade.That year I was six.In class I learned basic phrases for greeting and describing objects.I don't have much memory for the first year of English learning.The only thing that I still remember is reading vocabulary list.A classmate of mine who was good at English would lead the whole class to read the list.One of the new words that I learned that year was“earth”．“The earth orbits the sun，”he said in Chinese.Every time we came to the word“earth”，he would repeat that sentence.I was secretly admiring him because he knew the earth orbits the sun.
My family moved when I was in my second grade，and I transferred to a private school.My English class continued.Luckily I could use the same series of text books.
I stayed in the same private school for my junior high school，which is from the 7th to the 9th grade.In junior high school，I hardly felt my English skill improved because the first English class here was still titled “Good Morning”and the content was still basic greetings.
Following was one year of high school life：a_different_school，the_same_story.
Then my family moved again，and I began to really use English.We came to America.I attended a couple years of high school，and now I'm in college.I learn to write essays and start to read books in English.I can see my progress.However，I still have a lot of space to improve.In writing，the flow between sentences isn't good and I'm still using basic words.In speaking，maybe because I hang out with Chinese?speaking friends too much，it takes me time to think when telling long stories.
【语篇解读】 作者讲述了她学习英语的经历。
1．In Grade One，the author admired that classmate because he ________.
A．could speak two languages
B．had a very wide vocabulary
C．often led the whole class to read
D．knew about the earth and the sun
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第一段的“I was secretly admiring him because he knew the earth orbits the sun.”可知，答案应选D项。
2．How did the author most probably feel during the first English class in junior high school?
A．Moved. B．Interested.
C．Disappointed. D．Relaxed.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第三段的“In junior high school...still basic greetings.”可推断，作者当时很失望。
3．What do we learn about the author now?
A．She is looked down upon by others.
B．She still isn't very fluent in English.
C．She has no chance to speak Chinese now.
D．She likes practicing English through telling long stories.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第五段的However后面的内容可推断，作者现在英语还不是很流利。
4．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means in senior high school the author ________.
A．didn't live a very difficult life
B．liked her new school very much
C．learned English in a different way
D．had to learn simple English all over again
解析：选D 句意理解题。根据第三段的内容可知，作者进入高中后英语又得从头学习，而画线句子的意思是：进入高中后还是这样，故选D项。
B
While an entire month free of homework or tests may sound too good to be true, that is exactly what the students at Sturenskolan School in Boden, Sweden were treated to in April. What's more, if the results of the experiment prove encouraging, starting 2019, the middle schoolers will never have to worry about after?school work or tests, aside from the national examinations, which are compulsive for students across the country.
The school's principal, Petronella Sirkka, who came up with the idea，said，“We are constantly receiving new reports that our children feel bad. And that's because they have a high level of stress all the time. This is our way of trying to reduce that stress.”
The educator says that while banning homework and tests sounds radical (激进的), it makes sense given the changes in the curriculum and approaches to education. While in the past students were primarily subjected to memorizing facts, learning today is all about reflection and analysis.As a result, it is often harder for kids, especially those with little support at home, to comprehend the material by themselves.
Sirkka is not the only one who believes after?school work does not help students learn. In March 2018, another principal in Canada also decided to do away with homework. They hope parents will spend the extra time reading to their kids.
While the long?term impact of the recent decisions made by the two educators remains to be seen, the experiment has already proved successful in Finland which has done away with homework, grades, and even teaching by subjects for many years. Yet, Finnish students always rank high in the PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) tests especially in math and science but they have the least homework! Hopefully, it will only be a matter of time before US educators follow their lead and ban after?school work as well!
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。瑞典一所学校在四月份取消了学生的家庭作业和考试，这是该校校长Petronella Sirkka看到学生作业负担太重而提出的举措，且芬兰采取的类似做法已获成功。
5．The students at Sturenskolan School had no homework in April because ________.
A．the headmaster was experimenting with her idea
B．they needed to do some experiments during the month
C．they were busy preparing for the national examinations
D．the headmaster had to carry out the government's policy
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中的“The school's principal，Petronella Sirkka，who came up with the idea”，并结合第一段的内容可知，Sturenskolan学校的学生们在四月份没有家庭作业和考试是该校校长提出的想法，故A项正确。
6．What makes children's learning hard nowadays?
A．Children have to do more analyzing.
B．The approach to education is complex.
C．Children get no support at home and school.
D．There are many more facts to memorize.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第三段第二、三句“While in the past students were primarily subjected to memorizing facts, learning today is all about reflection and analysis. As a result, it is often harder for kids, especially those with little suppor at home，to comprehend the material by themselves.”可知，在过去，学生主要是被要求记住事实，而如今学生需要的是反思和分析。因此，孩子们往往很难自己理解这些材料。据此可知，反思和分析让孩子们的学习更加困难。故A项正确。
7．What does Petronella Sirkka most likely advise parents to do?
A．Help children with their homework.
B．Free children from after?school housework.
C．Spend more time reading to their children.
D．Communicate with teachers from time to time.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第四段尾句“They hope parents will spend the extra time reading to their kids.”可推知，Petronella Sirkka很可能会建议父母花些时间为他们的孩子们阅读，故C项正确。
8．What can we infer about the students in Finland?
A．They study the hardest at school.
B．They have a more relaxing school life.
C．They enjoy great success after graduation.
D．They all have a talent for math and science.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据尾段第一句中的“the experiment has already proved successful in Finland which has done away with homework, grades, and even teaching by subjects for many years”可知，多年来，芬兰已经取消了家庭作业、成绩等级，甚至科目教学。据此可推知，芬兰学生的学校生活更加轻松，故B项正确。
Ⅱ.短文改错
Three weeks ago I bought the electronic dictionary at a shop. But I hadn't used it for several day when I found it didn't work. So I went to the shop, but only to be told that the problem could not be solved unless it was sent back the factory where it was made. Then I did like I was told without any delay. Unfortunately, the factory promised to repair the dictionary and sent it back in a week. Two weeks has past, but I haven't yet received one. I have no idea why things are like this. I'm looking forward to receive my dictionary as soon as possible.
答案：

Section Ⅰ Introduction & Reading and Vocabulary
能力提升
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
English is an important global language，but that doesn't mean it's easy to learn. Many experts have tried to make English easier for students to learn—but they weren't always successful.
In 1930，Professor C．K.Ogden of Cambridge University invented Basic English. It had only 850 words (and just eighteen verbs) and Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours. The problem was that people who learned Basic English could write and say simple messages，but they couldn't understand the answers in “real” English. It was also impossible to explain a word if it wasn't in the Basic English word list.For example，if you wanted a watermelon，you asked for “a large green fruit with the form of an egg，which has a sweet red inside and a good taste”．
R．E. Zachrisson，a university professor in Sweden，decided that the biggest problem for learners of English was spelling，so he invented a language called Anglic. Anglic was similar to English，but with much simpler spelling. “Father” became “faadher”，“new” became “nue” and “years” became “yeerz”. Unfortunately for some students of English，Anglic never became popular.
Even easier is the language which a ship's captain uses: it's called “seaspeak”. Seaspeak uses a few simple phrases for every possible situation. In seaspeak, for example you don't say, “I'm sorry. What did you say？” or “I didn't understand. Can you repeat that？”It's just “Say again.” No more grammar.
In the age of international communication through the Internet，a new form of English might appear. A large number of the world's emails are in English and include examples of “NetLingo” like OIC(Oh，I see) and TTYL (Talk to you later). In another fifty years，English might not exist and we will probably all speak fluent “Internetish”．
【语篇解读】 英语是全球性的语言。为了让更多的学生掌握英语，许多专家试图让英语变得更容易学习——但并不是很成功。
1．It will take a person about ________ weeks to learn Basic English if he spends two hours learning it every day.
A．six B．four
C．three D．two
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第二段中“...Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours”可知，每天学习两个小时的话，大约要用两周的时间。
2．According to Professor Zachrisson，what was the biggest problem for learners of English?
A．Grammar. B．Vocabulary.
C．Spelling. D．Speaking.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“R.E.Zachrisson，a university professor in Sweden，decided that the biggest problem for learners of English was spelling...”可知，答案选C项。
3．Which of the following is likely to be Anglic?
A．A graet batl. B．IOU.
C．Long time no see. D．Two five，no lights.
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Anglic was similar to English，but with much simpler spelling. ‘Father’ became‘faadher’，‘new’ became ‘nue' and ‘years’ became ‘yeerz’．”可知，答案选A项。
4．What might happen to English in another fifty years?
A．It might become a global language.
B．It might be replaced by “Internetish”．
C．It might take the place of all other languages.
D．It might become more and more difficult.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据文章最后一句中“In another fifty years，English might not exist and we will probably all speak fluent ‘Internetish’．”可知，答案选B项。
B
We humans are addicted to sugar. That makes sense. All animals need sugar to live. It's the fuel that powers our cells. So it's not surprising that we're born to want the sweet stuff.
Sugar stores the sun's energy like a battery. After a meal, your body breaks down foods into their building blocks. It uses some sugar for energy right away. The rest get stored for the body to break down later. It's a myth that sugar makes you extremely excited, but having a sugary snack can give you a quick burst of energy. That's because the sugar in sweet foods is easy for your body to turn into fuel. When you eat other kinds of foods, like vegetables, it takes longer for your body to break the sugar down.
These days it's easy to find sweet snacks. Sodas, candy, cakes and even foods that seem healthy, such as yogurt, can be packed with sugar. Food makers add sugar, because they know that to humans, sweet makes everything taste better. Americans eat about 20 teaspoons of extra sugar every day. That's way more than what is good for us.
Eating too much sugar can cause more than a stomachache. It can make people overweight, decay the teeth and even cause diabetes. However, experts aren't worried about naturally sweet foods—the problem is added sugar. So go ahead and enjoy sweet apples or even sugar?rich carrots that are also full of vitamins and other good stuff.
Even cake is great once in a while, as long as you don't overdo it. After all, no one wants life to be dull. And your body needs its fuel!
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。糖能给人体提供必需的能量，且易分解，人天生需要糖分；虽然甜食尝起来可口，但是我们不要过多食用。
5．The first two paragraphs are mainly developed by ________.
A．cause and effect B．problem and solution
C．giving examples D．making comparisons
解析：选A 写作手法题。根据第一段尾句“So it's not surprising that we're born to want the sweet stuff.”和第二段倒数第二句“That's because the sugar in sweet foods is easy for your body to turn into fuel.”，并结合第一、二段的内容可知，第一段解释了人天生需要糖的原因；第二段解释了甜食能快速补充能量的原因；据此可推知，第一、二段是通过解释因果的方法组织内容的，故A项正确。
6．People may be tricked into eating too much sugar because ________.
A．no one wants life to be boring
B．we're born to want the sweet stuff
C．so?called healthy food can be packed with sugar
D．sugar is the fuel for the plants and animals on the earth
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第三段第一、二句“These days it's easy to find sweet snacks.Sodas, candy，cakes and even foods that seem healthy，such as yogurt，can be packed with sugar.”可知，甜食随处可见，即使是看起来健康的食品也会含有大量糖分，故人们会误食很多含糖食品。
7．What does the author want to stress in Paragraph 4?
A．We'd better say no to sweet foods.
B．Experts are worried about added sugar.
C．Eating too much sugar is bad for our health.
D．We'd better consume sugar from natural sources.
解析：选D 推理判断题。通读第四段可知，该段第一、二句介绍了食用过量的糖的害处；第三句说明专家对添加糖分的食品的担忧；第四句紧接着提出建议：吃富含糖但也富含维生素和其他有益成分的天然食物。据此可推知，该段旨在强调，我们最好食用天然食物来摄入糖分，故D项正确。
8．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Sugar Is Everywhere
B．Sugar Brings Happiness
C．Why Do We Love Sugar?
D．Why Does Sugar Make Us Fat?
解析：选C 标题归纳题。通读全文可知，糖能给人体提供必需的能量，且易分解，人天生需要糖分；虽然甜食尝起来可口，但是食用过量的糖有害人体健康，我们最好食用不但富含糖分、还含有维生素和其他有益成分的天然食物。故C项最适合作本文标题。
Ⅱ.语法填空
(2019·洛阳联考)
I have never liked my English name. My parents didn't know that Cindy was short for Cynthia, or that Cindy Brady was the Cindy of the moment. They 1.________(choose) it because it sounds like my Chinese name, Shin?tzer.
My name isn't full of flowers like most Chinese girls' names. My grandfather wanted me to have 2.________(strong) of character, not mere physical beauty. “Cindy” seems colorless by comparison. It's just a couple of syllables that sound good together.
I grew up 3.________(speak) English and eating with a fork. Yet the customs about names are extremely 4.________(tradition), down to our use of an ancient naming poem.
Most Chinese names are 5.________of a kind, a coupling of two words out of thousands of possibilities expressing the family's hopes for the child. It was March when my brother and his wife 6.________(expect) their second boy. The emails began to fly as we conferred about the baby's Chinese name. My brother's wife is Korean, so the name had to sound good 7.________Korean, too. One thing was certain—his name would contain the word “shi”，or “world”，8.________can also mean “generation”. We are on the 9.________(six) word of a couplet that my family has used to name its 10.________(son) for generations.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过叙述自己名字的由来及成长经历，介绍了中国人起名的特点及寓意。
1．解析：考查动词的时态。父母为作者起名字发生在过去，所以此处用一般过去时。
答案：chose
2．解析：考查名词。作者的祖父想让作者意志力坚强。have在此处为实义动词，意为“有”，后跟名词作宾语。
答案：strength
3．解析：考查非谓语动词。作者是讲英语和用叉子吃饭长大的。此处的主语I与动词speak之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故填speaking。“and eating”也为提示。
答案：speaking
4．解析：考查形容词。然而关于名字的风俗是非常传统的。此处应用形容词作表语。
答案：traditional
5．解析：考查代词。根据下文中的“a coupling of two words out of thousands of possibilities expressing the family's hopes for the child”的提示可知，此处为泛指，且与下文中的“two words”相呼应，所以此处用代词 one的复数形式表示泛指。
答案：ones
6．解析：考查动词的时态。那是在三月份的时候，作者的哥哥和他的妻子一直期待着他们第二个儿子的出生。此处叙述的是发生在过去的事情，应用过去时态，且表示过去某一阶段持续的动作，故用过去进行时。
答案：were expecting
7．解析：考查介词。表示用某种语言用介词in。
答案：in
8．解析：考查定语从句。此处用which引导非限制性定语从句，且在从句中作主语，修饰先行词“the word‘shi’，or ‘world’”。
答案：which
9．解析：考查序数词。此处表示第六个字。故应用序数词，表示“第六个”。
答案：sixth
10．解析：考查名词复数。此处指给祖祖辈辈的子孙起名。根据语境可知，此处应用复数。
答案：sons
1．break down 分解
2．overweight adj.过重的；超重的
3．stuff n．原料
So go ahead and enjoy sweet apples or even sugar?rich carrots that are also full of vitamins and other good stuff.
[分析] 该句为主从复合句。句中“that are also full of...stuff ”为that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词“sweet apples or...carrots”，that在从句中作主语。
[翻译] 所以，去享用甜甜的苹果，或者富含糖分的胡萝卜吧，它们也富含维生素和其他有益成分。

Ⅰ.七选五
How to Make Good Conversation
“Conversation is the most sociable of all human activities.” I totally agree with this point.Conversation is the main part of everyone's daily life.__1__ What's more, good conversation is the most interesting part for us.In my view, you should pay attention to the following three issues to make good conversation.
To start good conversation we'd better prepare some questions.__2__ We can ask some questions to show our politeness and care for others.Like, do you have a good sleep last night? Or what do you do in your spare time? Think twice before you throw a question to others.
__3__ We should pay attention to what others said and think in their shoes.Allow the others to do most of the talking.Be patient and hold interest for their comments and make some sound to show you are listening carefully.__4__ In this way you will get the credit for being a good conversationalist as well as a good listener and it will help you to make friends with others.
We always say eyes are the windows to the soul. Appropriate eye contact is like a great element of the main dish which makes it more delicious.__5__ It will help us to improve mutual(相互的) understanding.Do not hesitate to look into them.But don't stare at them and don't look at them for too long a time.It would make others feel uneasy and unwilling to go on talking.
A．Good questions make people feel comfortable.
B．Without conversation, life would be as cold as a rock.
C．The most important part of conversation is to listen.
D．Enjoy good conversation and be friends with them.
E．Do not interrupt others when they share their views excitedly.
F．They have some ideas that they want us to know and even convince us.
G．During conversation, we should look at the speakers in the eye friendly.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了与人交谈应注意的三个方面。
1．解析：选B 根据空前的“Conversation is the main part of everyone's daily life.”可知，交谈是每个人日常生活中的重要部分，空处承接上文，进一步说明交谈在日常生活中的重要性，故B项“没有交谈，生活会冷若磐石”符合语境。
2．解析：选A 根据本段的主题句“To start good conversation we'd better prepare some questions.”可知，我们在开始交谈前最好准备一些问题，再结合空后的“We can ask some questions to show our politeness and care for others.”可知，空处应是在讲问问题的益处，故A项“好的问题会让人感到舒服”符合语境。
3．解析：选C 根据下文中的“pay attention to what others said and think in their shoes.Allow the others to do most of the talking...show you are listening carefully.”和“a good listener”可知，本段主要讲的是倾听方面的内容，故C项“交谈中最重要的部分是倾听”符合语境。
4．解析：选E 根据上文中的“Be patient and hold interest for their comments and make some sound to show you are listening carefully.”可知，空处应是对上文中“listening carefully”的进一步说明，故E项“当他们兴奋地分享观点时不要打断他们”符合语境。
5．解析：选G 根据本段的内容可知，本段主要说明的是交谈中眼神交流的重要性，G项中的“look at the speakers in the eye”与上文中的“eye contact”及下文中的“look into them”相呼应，故G项符合语境。
Ⅱ.完形填空
Pressure means that people are expecting a lot from you. It also means that you sometimes have to do a lot of things in a __1__ period of time. Pressure seems to be a __2__of modern life. Everyone feels it. People feel pressure at work. Students feel pressure at school and everyone sometimes feels the pressure of trying to __3__ their friends and family.
Surprising as it may sound, pressure can be a(n) __4__thing. When you are __5__ pressure, it helps you to concentrate and think hard about the problems that have to be__6__. It forces you to __7__ your time, to decide which problems are more important and which are less important. And __8__， when you have faced these problems，you __9__ a better, stronger person.
Of course, pressure isn't always __10__. Too much pressure causes stress and it can __11__ your health. It affects your heart, your blood circulation (循环) and your nervous system. People who __12__ too much pressure or stress have __13__ sleeping and eating. When this __14__， it's time to get help from a doctor. If you are feeling this way, make sure you tell someone. The worst way to handle “negative” pressure is to keep __15__；it will only make things __16__.
Your attitude has a lot to do with how you __17__ pressure. When faced with a problem, try to look at it as a challenge __18__ an annoyance (烦恼)．
Life is __19__ with problems and pressure—they are never going away, so we have to face them and __20__ them. In the end, it makes us better people and we can shine like diamonds.
