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
warming.
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.
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Dawson这座城市的发展原因、过程与现状。
1．What
attracted
the
early
settlers
to
New
York
City?
A.
Its
business
culture.
B.
Its
small
population.
C.
Its
geographical
position.
D.
Its
favourable
climate.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段中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.可知，人们选择在河边或港口设城是因为交通方便，便于做生意。而纽约就是在哈德森河口附近的一个大港口，故纽约吸引早期移民的原因是它的地理位置，故C正确。
2．What
do
we
know
about
those
who
first
dug
for
gold
in
Dawson?
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.
答案：B
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，在最初挖黄金的两万人中有4
000人变富有，所以是五分之一的人变富了，故B正确。
3．What
was
the
main
reason
for
many
people
to
leave
Dawson?
A．They
found
the
city
too
crowded.
B．They
wanted
to
try
their
luck
elsewhere.
C．They
were
unable
to
stand
the
winter.
D．They
were
short
of
food.
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中and
when
they
heard
there
were
new
gold
discoveries
in
Alaska,
they
left
Dawson
City
as
quickly
as
they
had
come.可知，人们离开Dawson的主要原因是听说在Alaska发现了黄金，也就是他们要去别的地方寻找发财的机会。故B正确。
4．What
is
the
text
mainly
about?
A．The
rise
and
fall
of
a
city.
B．The
gold
rush
in
Canada.
C．Journeys
into
the
wilderness.
D．Tourism
in
Dawson.
答案：A
解析：主旨大意题。第一段简要介绍城市发展的原因，引出Dawson这一城市的兴起，第二段介绍了该城市兴起的原因，第三段介绍人们选择离开该城市的原因及现在的状况，所以全文围绕Dawson这个城市的发展与起伏。故A正确。
Ⅱ.七选五
Please
wear
loose
clothing,
mostly
cotton.
It
is
obvious
that
wearing
clothing
that
is
loose
rather
than
tight
is
welcomed
in
summer.
1
.
This
carries
away
the
warmth
that
your
body
produces
and
allows
cooler
air
to
flow
back
in.
2
.
When
it's
really
hot
out,
materials
that
“breathe”—allowing
the
flow
of
air
through
the
fabric
(衣料)
itself—also
work
to
keep
you
cool.
Cotton
and
linen
are
among
the
most
breathable
fabrics，so
look
for
clothes
made
of
those
substances.
Your
body
controls
its
temperature
via
a
small
peanut?shaped
section
of
the
brain
known
as
the
hypothalamus
(下丘脑).
3
.
It
turns
the
temperature
up
or
down
based
on
various
factors—such
as
how
cold
or
hot
the
skin
is.
Certain
parts
of
the
skin
have
a
larger
influence
than
others.
4
.
They
get
their
name
because
you
can
feel
your
pulse
there,
and
the
reason
you
can
do
that
is
because
vessels
are
so
close
to
the
edge
of
your
skin
that
one
can
easily
hear
or
feel
the
flow
of
blood.
When
you
want
to
lower
your
body
temperature,
cooling
those
pulse
points
with
cold
water
or
ice
sends
a
signal
to
the
brain
that
says,
“Turn
cold.”
5
.
Focus
on
pulse
points
that
are
easy
to
reach:
the
insides
of
your
wrists,
the
area
around
your
temple,
and
your
neck.
Holding
an
ice
pack
or
even
a
cold
washcloth
against
the
skin
on
these
regions
will
make
your
entire
body
feel
cooler.
A．It
allows
air
to
flow
past
the
skin
B．Sweating
helps
to
cool
off
the
skin
C．These
areas
are
called
pulse
points
(脉冲点)
D．The
type
of
fabric
you
wear
has
an
influence,
too
E．This
fools
your
brain
into
turning
down
its
thermostat
(恒温器)
F．This
region
works
almost
like
a
thermostat
in
a
home
G．Exercising
in
extreme
heat
is
usually
not
recommended
本文是一篇说明文。在夏天穿宽松而不是紧身的衣服是受欢迎的。文章讲述这样的衣服在夏天是如何让你凉快的。
1．A 解析：上文提示“很明显，在夏天穿宽松而不是紧身的衣服是受欢迎的。”承接上文，A项It
allows
air
to
flow
past
the
skin.(它允许空气流过皮肤)切题。该项中的it指代上文中的clothing
that
is
loose
rather
than
tight。故选A。
2．D 解析：下文提示“当天气真的很热的时候，可以‘呼吸’的材料——允许空气通过织物本身——也能让你保持凉爽。”承接下文，D项The
type
of
fabric
you
wear
has
an
influence,
too(你穿什么面料也有影响)切题。该项中的fabric和下文中的materials相吻合。故选D。
3．F 解析：上文提示“你的身体通过大脑中一个叫作下丘脑的花生形状的小区域来控制温度。”承接上文，F项
This
region
works
almost
like
a
thermostat
in
a
home(这个区域的工作原理就像家里的恒温器)切题。该项中的This
region指上文中的hypothalamus。故选F。
4．C 解析：下文提示“它们得名是因为你能感觉到脉搏，而你能感觉到脉搏的原因是因为血管离你的皮肤边缘很近，你很容易听到或感觉到血流。”承接下文，C项These
areas
are
called
pulse
points
(脉冲点)(这些区域被称为脉冲点)切题。下文解释怎样得名，所以该项符合句意。故选C。
5．E 解析：上文提示“当你想要降低体温时，用冷水或冰冷却这些脉搏点会向大脑发出一个信号，说‘变冷’。”承接上文，E项This
fools
your
brain
into
turning
down
its
thermostat
(恒温器)(这会让你的大脑降低温度)切题。故选E。

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
I
fetched
my
mail
as
usual.
Suddenly
a
colorful
flyer
(传单)
jumped
into
my
sight.
In
the
middle
was
a
drawing
of
an
old?fashioned
phone,
like
the
one
my
great?aunt
Sara
had
owned
40
years
ago
and
at
the
bottom
was
a
phone
number.
Running
my
eyes
over
it,
I
couldn't
help
laughing.“Is
that
mail
funny？”
my
ten?year?old
daughter,
Jenny,
asked.
“Not
really，”
I
admitted.
“It's
about
Wake?up
Service.
Outdated
already.”
“What's
that？”
she
frowned
(皱眉).
I
explained
how,
before
smart?phones,
people
sometimes
paid
someone
to
wake
them
with
a
call.
“Who
sent
this
flyer？”
she
pressed.
I
shook
my
head.
“Probably
someone
older
and
he
could
use
some
money.”
I
said.
Her
eyes
lit
up.
“Can
we
order
a
wake?up？”
she
asked.
“No
kidding.
With
smart
phones
at
hand,
who
will
need
it?
And
it's
no
cheap
at
all.
$2.5
per
day.”
I
picked
up
the
flyer
and
headed
for
the
recycling
bin.
“Wait！”
she
shouted.
“I
feel
sorry
for
the
wake?up
man,
if
he
needs
some
money，”
she
said,
tearing
up.
“Can't
we
order？”
I
looked
at
the
flyer
with
its
drawing
of
an
old?fashioned
phone.
I
remembered,
again,
my
great?aunt
Sara
and
her
old
phone.
As
a
kid,
I'd
visited
her
over
Labor
Day
when
Jerry
Lewis
would
host
his
charity
(慈善)
event
for
the
disabled
kids.
Aunt
Sara
would
grasp
my
hand
tightly,
and
then
reach
for
the
telephone,
dialing
the
number
on
the
screen.
Holding
the
receiver
between
us,
we'd
announce
to
the
operator,
“We'd
like
to
help
those
kids.”
But
now
here
was
my
own
child,
showing
the
same
big
heart
I'd
once
been
encouraged
to
have,
and
how
could
I
ignore
(不理睬)
her?
I
Googled
flyer's
telephone
number.
The
number
belonged
to
a
man
called
Raymond.
答案
Paragraph
1：
Jenny
dialed
the
number.
To
her
surprise,
the
voice
was
quite
young,
soft
and
friendly.
“Can
I
order
the
Wake?up
Service？”
Jenny
asked.
“Sure.
At
your
service
all
the
time”，
Raymond
replied.
“How
about
6
o'clock
tomorrow？”
“No
problem.”
“I
will
call
you
every
five
minutes
until
you
get
up.”
Suddenly
a
strong
sense
of
warmth
and
joy
filled
her
heart
like
the
sunshine.
Paragraph
2：
“Ring,
ring,
ring”
went
the
phone
at
6
o'clock
sharp.
In
no
time
Jenny
jumped
to
her
feet
and
picked
up
the
phone.
“Good
morning.”
came
the
same
voice.
“Morning”，
Jenny
was
too
excited
to
continue
the
conversation.
“Uh,
huh
”
she
rubbed
her
eyes
and
asked,
“How
should
I
pay
you？”
“Apple
pay.”
“What？！”
Jenny
screamed.
As
if
having
read
her
mind,
Raymond
said
calmly,
“Technology
cannot
really
replace
humans
but
humans
cannot
live
without
technology
either.
By
the
way,
$2
out
of
$2.
5
will
be
given
away
to
a
charity
for
kids.
Thank
you
for
your
kindness!
Expect
another
service
for
you.
Have
a
good
day！”

Ⅰ.阅读理解
We've
all
fantasized
about
it—after
a
rough
day
at
work,
stuck
in
traffic
with
commuters
(上下班的人)
we'd
rather
not
have
in
our
personal
space,
and
bills
to
pay,
plus
the
sound
of
the
crying
baby
in
the
apartment
next
door.How
nice
would
it
be
to
go
solo
and
live
on
an
island
of
one
population:
me!
Well,
this
is
the
reality
for
84?year?old
Elsie
Eiler
of
Monowi,
Nebraska.She
is
the
sole
resident
of
her
hometown,
which
is
the
smallest
recognized
locality
in
the
United
States.
Looking
back
at
the
2000
census
(人口普查),
the
town
used
to
have
another
resident:
Elsie's
husband
Rudy.Since
he
died
in
2004,
Elsie
has
lived
in
the
town
by
herself.She
considers
herself
to
be
the
mayor,
treasurer,
and
town
librarian.
Her
main
source
of
income
is
the
bar
that
is
frequented
by
truckers
and
other
people
passing
through—the
Monowi
Tavern,
which
she
founded
with
her
late
husband
back
in
1971.
She
received
a
lot
of
public
attention
after
it
was
discovered
that
she
was
the
sole
resident
of
Monowi,
and
in
an
interview
she
stated
that
many
visitors
from
around
the
world
have
come
to
meet
her
in
Monowi.
When
asked
if
she
ever
gets
lonely,
she
said
“I
know
I
could
always
move
closer
to
my
children
or
stay
with
them
whenever
I
want,
but
then
I'd
have
to
make
all
new
friends
again.Hopefully
I
will
be
able
to
stay
here.It's
where
I
want
to
be.”
这是一篇说明文。描述了美国最小的Monowi镇上只有一个84岁的居民Elsie
Eiler。同时描述了Elsie
Eiler在镇上的生活。

with
her
late
husband
back
in
1971.(她的主要收入来源是卡车司机和其他路过的人经常光顾的酒吧——Monowi
Tavern。1971年，她和已故丈夫一起创办了这家酒吧。)可知the
Monowi
Tavern
是
the
bar
的同位语，所以是

word
“sole”
in
Paragraph
2
most
probably
means
“

A．loneliest
B．oldest
C．only

nice
would
it
be
to
go
solo
and
live
on
an
island
of
one
population:
me！(一个人住在一个只有我一个人的岛上该有多好啊！)接着下文举出了Elsie
Eiler的例子，可推测这位老太太是镇上唯一的居民。故sole意思应为“唯一的；仅有的”。故选C。

It
was
dinner
time
for
the
Rangers,
a
group
of
mostly
Indigenous
(本地的)
Australians
who
had
spent
a
long
day
cleaning
up
the
polluted
beaches
of
the
continent's
northern
coast.
Soon
they
would
be
eating
freshly
caught
fish
and
seafood
cooked
under
the
stars
on
an
open
fire,
as
their
ancestors
did.
The
Rangers
are
of
more
than
100
Indigenous
groups
spread
across
Australia
who
have
taken
on
the
job
of
protecting
the
land
of
their
forefathers.
In
Arnhem
Land,
they
are
the
protectors
of
3,300
square
miles
of
land
and
sea.
They
comb
the
beaches
by
hand,
picking
up
as
much
rubbish
as
possible.
The
task
is
very
difficult
as
each
day
it
delivers
waves
of
new
rubbish.
For
the
Rangers,
cleaning
the
beaches
is
more
than
a
vacation.
For
a
people
whose
culture
is
strongly
tied
to
the
land,
protecting
the
environment
is
equal
to
preserving
their
history.
However,
colonization
forcefully
broke
their
connection
to
the
land
generations
ago.
Indigenous
people
were
displaced
and
their
cultural
practices
outlawed.
Tens
of
thousands
of
years
of
traditional
land
management
ended,
and
as
a
result
many
parts
of
the
country
now
face
serious
disasters
from
invasive
plant
and
animal
species,
bush
fires
and
land
mismanagement.
In
recent
years,
the
government
has
restored
more
than
20
percent
of
Australia's
land
to
Indigenous
owners.
Since
2007，the
Indigenous
Rangers
Organizations
have
been
at
work
protecting
this
land.
Luck,
one
of
the
few
non?Indigenous
employees
working
with
the
Rangers,
said
the
combination
of
old
and
new
techniques
and
an
appreciation
for
the
culture
of
Indigenous
workers
has
been
critical
to
the
program's
success.
“You
are
working
with
staff
who
see
the
world
different
to
you,
so
there
is
a
much
higher
focus
on
the
cultural
aspects
of
work
and
life，”
he
said.
“Being
a
ranger
is
a
source
of
confidence.
You
feel
strong，”
said
Terence,
a
senior
ranger.
“Here
we
still
live
on
the
land.
The
culture
is
still
alive.”
这是一篇新闻报道。短文报道了澳大利亚人土著人——Rangers，他们保护环境，捡拾垃圾，承担着保护祖先土地的任务，对他们来说，保护环境就等于保护他们的历史和他们的文化。少数非土著人也与Rangers一起工作来保护他们的文化。
1．What
did
Indigenous
Australians
live
on
in
the
past?
A．Rubbish
picked
up
by
hand.
B．Protecting
the
land.
C．Catching
the
fish
and
seafood.
D．Invasive
plants
and
animals.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。由第一段“
Soon
they
would
be
eating
freshly
caught
fish
and
seafood
cooked
under
the
stars
on
an
open
fire,
as
their
ancestors
did.”可知，他们像他们的祖先一样，在星空下吃着篝火煮熟的新鲜的鱼和海鲜。所以澳大利亚土著居民过去过着以捕鱼和打捞海鲜为主的生活。故C选项正确。
2．What
do
the
Rangers
think
of
cleaning
the
beaches?
A．It's
a
job
of
their
ancestors'.
B．It's
just
a
vacation.
C．It's
a
difficult
task.
D．It's
their
culture.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。由第三段“For
a
people
whose
culture
is
strongly
tied
to
the
land,
protecting
the
environment
is
equal
to
preserving
their
history”可知，对于一个文化与土地紧密相连的民族来说，保护环境就等于保护他们的历史。所以Rangers认为清理海滩就是保护他们的文化。故D选项正确。
3．Why
has
the
government
restored
the
land
to
Indigenous
owners?
A．The
polluted
land
needs
better
management.
B．Their
cultural
practices
were
outlawed.
C．The
people
were
too
strong.
D．The
land
belongs
to
them.
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。由第四段“Tens
of
thousands
of
years
of
traditional
land
management
ended,
and
as
a
result
many
parts
of
the
country
now
face
serious
disasters
from
invasive
plant
and
animal
species,
bush
fires
and
land
mismanagement.”可知，成千上万年的传统的土地管理模式结束了，因此，这个国家的许多地区现在面临着来自外来动植物物种的入侵、丛林火灾和土地管理不善的严重灾难。所以政府要将土地归还给原著居民是因为被污染的土地需要他们更好地管理。故A选项正确。
4．What
can
we
learn
from
the
last
three
paragraphs?
A．Not
many
employees
are
the
Indigenous
Australians.
B．Culture
is
important
to
the
Indigenous
Australians.
C．Their
new
techniques
are
successful.
D．Both
Luck
and
Terence
are
rangers.
答案：B
解析：推理判断题。由倒数后三段“the
combination
of
old
and
new
techniques
and
an
appreciation
for
the
culture
of
Indigenous
workers
has
been
critical
to
the

success.”和“‘You
are
working
with

see
the

you,
so
there
is
a
much
higher
focus
on
the
cultural
aspects
of
work
and
life，’
he
said.”
及“The
culture
is
still
alive.”可知，新老技术的结合以及对土著人文化的欣赏对该项目的成功至关重要。他说：“你的同事和你有着不同的世界观，所以应更加关注工作和生活中的文化方面。”这种文化仍然存在。所以通过Luck和
Terence所说的话可以判断出，从最后三段中能学到，文化对澳大利亚土著居民很重要。故B选项正确。
Ⅱ.七选五
Reasons
you
should
make
time
for
the
sunset
Here's
why
you
should
consider
making
time
to
watch
the
sunset
1．It
can
slow
down
time.
Seriously.
By
witnessing
the
beauty
of
the
sunset,
you
can
slow
down
your
perception
(感知)
of
time.
1
Amazingly,
by
taking
the
time
to
look
at
the
vast
sky,
we're
actually
empowering
ourselves
to
regain
control
of
the
clock.
2．It
can
provide
energy
for
you.
Even
if
you
have
to
go
back
to
the
office
after
you
watch
that
last
sliver
disappear
below
the
skyline,
taking
a
few
minutes
out
of
your
day
to
experience
some
of
the
golden
hour
will
be
worth
it.
2
Often
when
we
feel
exhausted
we
reach
for
a
cup
of
coffee,
but
research
suggests
a
better
way
to
get
energized
(给予能量)
is
to
connect
with
nature.
3．It
will
force
you
to
put
your
phone
down.
When
we
regard
the
experience
of
sunsets
as
special
occasions,
we
feel
the
urge
to
document
and
save
them—as
if
keeping
photos
of
their
beauty
will
help
us
remember
that
wonderful
feeling.
3
4．It
will
inspire
you.
There's
a
reason
sunsets
are
a
timeless
and
constant
inspiration
to
poets,
writers
and
romantics.
5．
4
All
of
us
are
drawn
to
sunsets,
but
people
in
a
few
special
places
really
regard
the
sunset
as
a
daily
opportunity
to
give
thanks.
5
Crowds
gather
to
cheer
and
applaud
it,
reinforcing
(加强)the
idea
that
we
should
celebrate
and
be
thankful
for
each
day.
A．Nature
is
fuel
for
the
soul.
B．It
will
help
you
appreciate
life's
gifts.
C．Do
you
draw
inspiration
from
the
sunset?
D．It
will
allow
you
to
exercise
in
a
healthy
way.
E．Do
you
feel
like
there
aren't
enough
hours
in
the
day?
F．But
if
you
experience
the
sunset
more
regularly,
you'll
no
longer
see
it
through
a
screen.
G．In
places
like
Santorini,
Greece,
and
Maui,
Hawaii,
the
sunset
is
regarded
as
a
nightly
celebration.
这是一篇说明文。文章列举了五个应该考虑抽时间去看日落的理由。
1．E 解析：根据上文By
witnessing
the
beauty
of
the
sunset,
you
can
slow
down
your
perception
(感知)
of
time.(通过观看日落之美，你可以放慢你对时间的感知。)可推知看日落的时候，时间会放缓，会感觉时间不够。故E选项“你觉得一天没有足够的时间吗？”符合语境。故选E。
2．A 解析：根据下文Often
when
we
feel
exhausted
we
reach
for
a
cup
of
coffee,
but
research
suggests
a
better
way
to
get
energized
(给予能量)
is
to
connect
with
nature.(通常当我们感到疲惫时，我们会去喝杯咖啡，但研究表明，获得能量的更好方法是与大自然接触。)可知大自然是我们精神、灵魂上的能量。故选A。
3．F 解析：根据上文When
we
regard
the
experience
of
sunsets
as
special
occasions,
we
feel
the
urge
to
document
and
save
them—as
if
keeping
photos
of
their
beauty
will
help
us
remember
that
wonderful
feeling.(当我们把日落的经历看作是特殊的时刻时，我们会有记录和保存它们的冲动——好像保存它们的美丽照片会帮助我们记住那种美妙的感觉。)以及本段小标题It
will
force
you
to
put
your
phone
down.(这会迫使你把手机放下。)可知下文应为“如果你更经常地体验日落，你就不再想通过屏幕看它了。”符合语境。故选F。
4．B 解析：本题为小标题，根据下文All
of
us
are
drawn
to
sunsets,
but
people
in
a
few
special
places
really
regard
the
sunset
as
a
daily
opportunity
to
give
thanks(我们都被日落所吸引，但在一些特殊的地方，人们真的把日落看作是每天表达谢意的机会)可推知日落会帮助你感激生活的恩赐。故选B。
5．G 解析：根据下文Crowds
gather
to
cheer
and
applaud
it,
reinforcing
(加强)the
idea
that
we
should
celebrate
and
be
thankful
for
each
day.(人们聚集在一起为它欢呼和鼓掌，强化了我们应该庆祝和感激每一天的理念。)中celebrate可对应到G选项中celebration，且表示“在希腊的圣托里尼岛和夏威夷的毛伊岛等地，日落被视为夜间的庆祝活动。”符合语境。故选G。

这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了为了纪念故宫建城600周年，故宫博物院将在2020年举办一系列活动。将举办20多个展览，涵盖历史、艺术、节日等不同领域。
1．attractions
解析：考查名词的数。句意：北京故宫博物院所在地，拥有180多万件文物，是世界上游客最多的旅游景点之一。one
of后跟名词的复数形式，表示“……其中之一”。故填attractions。
2．To
mark
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：为了纪念故宫建城600周年，故宫博物院将在2020年举办一系列活动。本句需要不定式表目的，故填To
mark。
3．covering
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：将举办20多个展览，涵盖历史、艺术、节日等不同领域。本句已经存在谓语动词且句中没有连词，故cover只能作非谓语动词与逻辑主语构成主谓关系，故用现在分词covering。
4．widely
解析：考查副词。句意：在这个特殊的日子里，中国最广为人知的杰作之一《清明上河图》将于2020年9月展出。known为形容词，需要副词修饰，故填widely。
5．on
解析：考查介词。短语on
display“展出”，故填on。
6．its
解析：考查形容词性物主代词。preservation为名词需要形容词修饰，故填its。
7．was
displayed
解析：考查动词时态语态。句意：这幅画于2005年首次展出，以庆祝该博物馆成立80周年。根据时间2005可知用一般过去时，且主语painting与谓语动词构成被动关系，故填was
displayed。

Most

Ⅱ.语法填空
It
is
a
great
1
(true)
that
life
is
difficult.
Once
we
really
understand
and
accept
it,
then
life
is
no
longer
difficult.
2
，
most
of
us
do
not
fully
see
it.
They
just
complain
about
their
problems
and
difficulties
as
if
life
should
be
easy.
3
makes
life
difficult
is
that
the
process
of
facing
and
solving
problems
is
a
really
painful
one.
Problems,
4
(depend)
on
their
nature,
cause
sadness
or
regret
or
anger
or
fear.
These
are
5
(comfort)
feelings,
often
as
painful
as
any
kind
of
physical
pain.
It
is
in
this
whole
process
of
solving
problems
6
life
has
its
meaning.
Problems
are
the
serious
test
that
tells
us
success
from
failure.
When
we
want
to
strengthen
the
growth
of
human
spirit,
we
encourage
the
human
ability
7
(solve)
problems,
just
as
in
school
we
set
problems
for
our
children
to
deal
with.
Learning
from
the
pain
of
meeting
and
working
out
problems
is
8
great
benefit.
As
Benjamin
Franklin
9
(say),
“Those
things
that
hurt,
instruct.”
For
this
reason,
wise
people
learn
not
to
fear
but
to
welcome
10
pain
of
problems.
本文是一篇哲理感悟。生活是艰难的，这是一个伟大的真理。一旦我们真正理解并接受它，生活就不再困难。正因为如此，明智的人应学会不要害怕，而要欢迎问题带来的痛苦。
1．truth
解析：考查名词。此处great是形容词，修饰名词，故答案为truth。
2．However
解析：考查副词。句意：一旦我们真正理解并接受它，生活就不再困难。然而，我们大多数人并没有完全认识到这一点。此处前后句是一种转折关系，因为有“，”，故答案为However。
3．What
解析：考查主语从句。句意：让生活变得困难的是，面对和解决问题的过程是非常痛苦的。此处是主语从句作主语。从句缺少引导词，从句谓语动词缺少主语，结合句意可知答案为What。
4．depending
解析：考查现在分词。句意：问题，取决于其性质，会引起悲伤、后悔、愤怒或恐惧。此处是现在分词作后置定语，故答案为depending。
5．uncomfortable
解析：考查形容词。句意：这些都是不舒服的感觉，通常和身体上的疼痛一样痛苦。此处是形容词修饰名词，结合句意可知答案为uncomfortable。
6．that
解析：考查强调句式。句意：在解决问题的整个过程中，生命才有了意义。结合句意可知此处是强调句型，故答案为that。
7．to
solve
解析：考查动词不定式作后置定语。句意：当我们想要加强人类精神的成长时，我们鼓励人类解决问题的能力，就像在学校我们为我们的孩子设置问题来处理。the
ability
to
do
sth.“做某事的能力”，是动词不定式作后置定语，故答案为to
solve。
8．of
解析：考查介词。句意：从遇到和解决问题的痛苦中学习是非常有益的。固定搭配：be
of
great
benefit“非常有利”，故答案为of。
9．said
解析：考查时态。句意：正如富兰克林所说，……。所以句子用一般过去时态，故答案为said。
10．the
解析：考查定冠词the。句意：正因为如此，明智的人应学会不要害怕，而要欢迎问题带来的痛苦。此处表示“特指”，故答案为the。
Ⅲ.应用文写作
中国长城在1987年被列入世界文化遗产。请你根据下面图片所示，写一篇80词左右的英语短文，介绍中国长城，并将其推荐给外国游客。
The
Great
Wall
of
China,
the
longest
wall
in
the
world,
is
recognized
as
one
of
the
world's
cultural
heritages.
It
is
more
than
10,000
li
long
like
a
huge
dragon,
running
across
the
north
of
China
from
Lintao
in
the
west
to
Liaodong
in
the
east.
It
has
a
history
of
more
than
2,000
years
and
it
was
built
to
defend
enemies'
attack
in
ancient
times.
After
being
repaired
for
many
times,
the
Great
Wall
of
China
takes
on
a
new
look
and
offers
a
beautiful
and
interesting
view,
which
attracts
a
lot
of
visitors
not
only
from
China
but
also
from
all
over
the
world.
It
has
been
considered
as
one
of
the
greatest
wonders
in
the
world.
We
Chinese
are
proud
of
it
and
we
all
believe
that
he
who
does
not
reach
the
Great
Wall
is
not
a
true
man.

Diverse

阅读理解
A
Your
kids
learn
a
lot
from
their
friends—things
you
can't
teach
them,
no
matter
how
much
you
want
to.
Probably
the
most
important
thing
kids
learn
is
how
to
have
peer
relationships.
As
a
parent,
you
can't
do
this,
because
you
and
your
child
aren't
equals.
For
example,
when
you're
sitting
on
your
family
room
floor
and
your
very
young
child
asks
you
to
pass
him
the
blocks,
you
probably
hand
them
right
over.
If
your
child
is
sitting
with
a
peer
and
asks
the
same
thing,
though,
he
might
not
get
what
he
wants.
To
succeed,
your
child
will
need
to
learn
strategies
for
getting
what
he
wants.
For
example,
he
might
simply
yank
(猛拉)
the
toy
out
of
his
friend's
hand.
If
he
does
that,
he
may
learn
that
it's
not
the
best
way
of
getting
what
he
wants
because
it
leads
to
fighting
and
time?outs.
The
successful
child
will
learn
that
he
needs
to
negotiate
a
trade,
to
wait
patiently,
or
to
find
something
else
equally
fun
to
play
with.
Friends
also
provide
emotional
support,
something
that
is
part
of
the
foundation
of
healthy
adulthood.
You
can't
be
with
your
child
on
the
elementary
school
playground
or
at
the
high
school
dance.
Your
child's
friends
will
be
the
ones
to
stick
up
for
her,
to
include
her
in
games,
and
later,
to
tell
her
she
looks
great
even
if
her
lousy
prom
(糟糕的舞会)
date
wanders
off
instead
of
dancing
with
her.
Friends
also
help
your
children
learn.
Friends
solve
problems
together,
imitate
each
other,
and
pass
on
knowledge.
Some
experts
believe
that
the
single
biggest
predictor
of
your
child's
success
later
in
life
is
her
ability
to
make
friends.
In
fact,
they
claim
it's
even
more
important
than
IQ
and
grades.
This
doesn't
mean
that
the
kids
who
are
most
popular
in
school
do
the
best
later
on
in
life.
What
matters
is
not
the
number
of
friends
a
child
has
but
rather
the
quality
of
the
relationships.
This
is
good
news
for
those
of
us
who
hate
to
think
that
popularity
really
is
the
Holy
Grail
of
childhood
and
adolescence.
While
it's
true
that
popularity
has
many
advantages,
and
that
many
popular
kids
really
are
nice
people—and
not
just
the
best
dressed
or
best
looking—it's
better
to
have
a
few
good
friends
than
to
have
the
admiration
of
the
masses.
本文主要论述了同龄朋友对孩子成长的重要性。
1．By
giving
the
example
in
Paragraph
3,
what
does
the
author
want
to
show?
A．Kids
can
learn
how
to
deal
with
the
relationships
when
they
stay
with
their
peers.
B．Parents
should
spend
more
spare
time
playing
with
their
kids.
C．Kids
should
learn
how
to
be
polite
when
they
ask
their
parents
for
help.
D．Parents
can
teach
their
kids
how
to
be
good
members
in
the
modern
society
in
their
life.
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。一般而言，在议论文中，举例都是为了证明作者的观点。由此可知，第三段所举例子是为了证明第二段作者的观点，即“Probably
the
most
important
thing
kids
learn
is
how
to
have
peer
relationships.”。故选A。
2．What
does
the
underlined
phrase
“stick
up
for”
in
the
fifth
paragraph
mean?
A．Envy.
B．Oppose.
C．Support.
D．Ignore.
答案：C
解析：词义猜测题。根据本段第一句中的“Friends
also
provide
emotional
support”可知，此处将家长与同龄朋友进行比较是为了说明同龄朋友会给孩子们以情感上的支持。由此可知，画线词意为“支持”。故答案选C。
3．In
the
author's
opinion,
what
is
more
important
than
being
popular
for
kids?
A．Getting
high
grades.
B．Having
some
real
friends.
C．Developing
a
good
habit.
D．Knowing
how
to
dress
themselves
up.
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据文章最后三段可知，朋友的质量比朋友的数量、智商、分数和外表都重要。故选B。
4．Which
of
the
following
can
be
the
best
title
for
the
passage?
A．How
to
Bridge
the
Generation
Gap
B．What
It
Takes
to
Be
a
Good
Friend
C．Why
Friends
Are
Important
D．How
to
Be
Popular
in
School
答案：C
解析：标题判断题。文章的中心段是第一段，由此结合全文内容可知，文章主要说明了同龄朋友对孩子成长的重要性。故选C。
B
Although
it's
great
to
spend
vacations
seeing
the
world
with
family,
friends,
or
a
lover,
traveling
alone
can
also
be
completely
incredible.
A
solo
adventure
has
the
potential
to
be
life?changing.
Here
are
some
reasons
you
should
travel
alone
at
least
once.
If
you
enjoy
meeting
new
friends,
here's
your
chance;
you
will
likely
find
some
when
traveling
alone.
Since
you
won't
be
focused
on
talking
to
anyone
you
know,
you'll
be
more
likely
to
strike
up
conversations
with
strangers.
Meeting
people
from
different
backgrounds
opens
our
minds,
expands
our
world,
and
can
inspire
us
a
lot.
You
may
meet
some
amazing
locals
or
other
adventurers
like
yourself;
either
way
you're
bound
to
make
some
new
friends
during
your
journey.
A
trip
alone
can
ignite
your
creativity.
Spending
time
alone
with
an
open
mind
can
be
exactly
what
you
need
for
your
imagination
to
soar.
Your
enthusiasm
and
passion
for
life
may
sky?rocket
from
your
awesome
adventure.
When
traveling
with
a
partner
or
a
group,
every
idea
can
be
bounced
off
someone
else.
When
you
travel
alone,
you
will
learn
to
be
decisive;
you
will
be
making
every
decision
alone.
From
where
to
eat,
to
what
time
to
wake
up,
to
what
sights
to
see,
and
which
airline
to
use,
traveling
solo
forces
you
to
rely
on
yours
truly.
As
you
realize
you
can
make
good
choices
without
help
from
others,
you
will
likely
trust
your
instincts
more,
and
this
new
found
self?assurance
and
confidence
will
be
helpful
in
many
areas
of
your
life.
这是一篇说明文。作者告诉我们人生至少要有一次机会独自去旅行。并给出了三个理由：一是可以遇见新朋友，二是可以激发你的想象力，三是可以提高你的决策能力。

light
your
life
fire.
C．You
will
learn

答案：C
解析：细节理解题。选项A(遇见新朋友)，B(激发你的想象力)，D(提高你的决策能力)分别对应文章第二、三、四段内容，只有选项C(你会喜欢上独处)文章中没有提到。故选C。

learn
to
thrive
outside
your

people
from
different

opens
our

expands
our
world,

can
inspire
us
a
lot.”可知，遇到不同背景的人可以使我们开放思想，打开视野，让我们产生灵感。也就是说旅行可以让我们学到很多。故选B。

is
similar
to
the
underlined
word
in
Paragraph

alone(独自做每个决定)”属于同义替换。A.hesitate犹豫；B.independent独立的；C.fearless无畏的，大胆的；D.determined决定了的，坚决的。故选D。
