第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Some
Japanese
companies
are
producing
robots
for
use
in
the
home
as
companions.
We
would
like
to
introduce
three
models
that
are
more
or
less
affordable.
Kirobo
Mini,
a
small
robot
for
use
in
home
Japanese
carmaker
Toyota
sells
the
Kirobo
Mini,
a
small
robot
designed
for
cuteness.
So
far,
the
robot
can
only
understand
Japanese.
But
it
can
respond
when
spoken
to
and
can
ask
some
questions.
If
you
talk
with
Kirobo,
it
can
remember
the
content
of
a
discussion.
In
this
way,
the
robot
can
get
“smarter”
and
will
be
able
to
“grow
up”
over
time.
The
robot
is
small—only
10
centimetres
tall
and
its
price
is
$350.
Aibo,
a
robotic
dog
Sony
is
the
Japanese
maker,
now,
producing
a
robotic
dog
called
Aibo.
The
Aibo
is
about
30
centimetres
long
and
has
natural
looking
eyes.
It
is
also
very
cute.
The
eyes
have
a
camera,
so
you
can
take
a
picture
while
playing
with
Aibo.
The
robotic
dog
can
respond
to
a
pink
ball
and
plastic
bone
like
real
dogs.
Sony
is
considering
overseas
sales
but
has
not
decided
yet.
However,
Aibo
is
much
more
costly
with
a
price
of
about
$1,800.
Qoobo,
cushion
with
a
tail
Qoobo
looks
more
like
a
cushion
than
a
robot.
Yukai
Engineering
in
Tokyo
makes
Qoobo
which
has
no
face
or
legs.
The
robot
only
has
a
body
and
a
tail.
However,
the
company
says
the
cushion
can
wave
its
tail
slowly
as
a
response
to
caresses
and
tapping.
Qoobo
is
the
biggest
of
the
robots—at
33
centimetres
in
length.
It
is
now
available
to
order
in
Japan
and
the
United
States
and
is
expected
to
be
sent
out
later
this
year.
Qoobo
is
the
least
costly
of
these
robots
at
$90,
but
it
does
not
have
the
ability
to
“learn”
from
its
surroundings.
21．In
which
section
of
the
newspaper
does
this
passage
belong
to?
A．Economy.
B．Science
and
Technology.
C．Entertainment.
D．Education.
22．How
can
we
arrange
the
order
of
the
robots
in
length?
A．Kirobo
Mini,
Aibo,
Qoobo.
B．Qoobo,
Kirobo
Mini,
Aibo.
C．Aibo,
Kirobo
Mini,
Qoobo.
D．Kirobo
Mini,
Qoobo,
Aibo.
23．Which
of
the
following
statements
is
true?
A．Kirobo
Mini
can
respond
to
a
plastic
bone
like
real
dogs.
B．Qoobo
is
already
on
sale
in
the
United
States.
C．Kirobo
Mini
can
really
grow
up
over
time.
D．Aibo
is
the
most
expensive
among
the
three.
B
Johnson
went
to
Penquay
for
the
weekend.
He
arrived
there
late
on
Friday
evening.
The
landlady
of
the
guest
house,
Mrs
Smith,
answered
the
door
and
showed
him
to
his
room.
Johnson
was
very
tired
and
went
straight
to
bed.
He
slept
well
and
didn't
wake
up
until
nine
o'clock
the
next
morning.
Johnson
went
downstairs
for
breakfast.
Because
there
were
no
other
guests,
Mrs
Smith
invited
him
to
have
breakfast
with
her
family.
Her
only
daughter,
Catherine,
about
13,
was
already
sitting
in
the
dining
room.
Mrs
Smith
went
to
the
kitchen
to
prepare
breakfast.
Johnson
noticed
there
were
four
places
at
the
table
and
asked
Catherine
if
there
was
another
guest.
Catherine
told
him
that
it
was
an
empty
place.
And
it
used
to
be
her
father's
place.
Her
father
had
been
a
fisherman.
Three
years
before
he
had
gone
out
in
his
boat,
and
had
never
returned.
Her
mother
always
kept
that
place
for
him
and
made
his
breakfast
every
morning.
Catherine
showed
him
his
photo
on
the
wall.
Johnson
said
nothing,
but
looked
very
puzzled.
At
that
moment
Mrs
Smith
returned.
She
served
four
cups
of
tea,
and
put
one
in
the
empty
place.
Looking
at
the
empty
chair,
Johnson
was
more
puzzled.
Suddenly,
Johnson
heard
footsteps
outside
the
door
and
a
tall
man
with
a
black
beard
walked
into
the
room.
Johnson
looked
scared.
It
was
the
man
in
the
photo.
He
jumped
up
and
ran
out
of
the
room.
The
man
asked,
“What's
the
matter？”
Catherine
said,
“I
don't
know.
He's
a
guest
from
London.
He's
here
because
a
tall
man
with
a
black
beard
tried
to
kill
him.”
“Catherine，”
the
man
said,
“have
you
been
telling
stories
again？”
“Stories,
father?
Me？”
the
girl
laughed.
24．Why
did
Mrs
Smith
invite
Johnson
to
have
breakfast
with
her
family?
A．He
woke
up
too
late
for
his
breakfast.
B．There
was
an
empty
place
at
the
table.
C．He
was
the
only
guest
that
day.
D．Her
daughter
wanted
to
talk
with
him.
25．Who
is
the
tall
man
with
a
black
beard?
A．Another
guest.
B．Catherine's
father.
C．A
friend
of
the
family's.
D．Johnson's
enemy.
26．What
does
the
underlined
word
“scared”
probably
mean?
A．Excited.
B．Upset.
C．Frightened.
D．Calm.
27．What
can
we
infer
from
the
passage?
A．Catherine's
father
got
lost
on
the
sea.
B．Mrs
Smith
does
not
love
her
husband.
C．Johnson
may
be
killed
by
the
man.
D．Catherine
is
fond
of
telling
stories.
C
Imagine
a
future
where
all
farming
is
done
by
machine,
and
humans
never
set
foot
in
the
fields.
In
Shropshire
in
the
UK,
engineers
in
the
Hands
Free
Hectare
project
are
developing
automated
tractors
and
drones
to
grow
and
harvest
crops.
One
reason
why
the
sector
is
on
the
up
is
that
global
demand
for
food
is
rapidly
increasing.
The
World
Bank
estimates
we
will
need
to
produce
50%
more
food
by
2050
if
the
planet's
population
continues
to
grow
at
its
current
speed.
Add
to
this,
yields
will
decrease
by
over
a
quarter
due
to
climate
change,
and
the
situation
looks
serious.
Could
futuristic
farming
provide
the
answer?
One
company
in
Japan
believes
so.
The
firm
Spread
has
dispensed_with
farming
on
land
altogether,
and
instead
grows
vegetables
on
stacks
of
trays
indoors
in
an
automated
factory.
“In
countries
like
Japan,
where
land
is
actually
a
very
scarce
resource,
it
makes
more
sense
to
stack
your
production,
just
like
a
skyscraper，”
says
JJ
Price,
Spread's
global
marketing
manager.
Mr
Price
told
the
BBC
that
this
method
of
vertical
farming
not
only
reduces
costs
by
50%,
but
it
is
also
greener.
LED
lights
cut
energy
bills
by
a
third,
and
98%
of
water
can
be
recycled.
By
growing
crops
close
to
where
people
consume
them,
transport
costs
and
emissions
are
also
minimised,
he
says.
And
where
will
we
buy
this
futuristic
food?
Perhaps
in
shops
with
no
staff?
Amazon
has
recently
launched
its
first
Amazon
Go
store
in
the
US,
which
has
no
checkouts.
Customers
simply
pick
their
items
from
the
shelves,
and
technology
does
the
rest.
All
this
begs
the
question:
if
everything
is
automated,
what
jobs
will
people
do?
The
mechanisation
of
farming
means
fewer
and
fewer
people
work
the
land.
From
1950
to
2010,
agricultural
labourers
have
decreased
from
81%
to
48.2%
of
the
workforce
in
developing
countries,
and
from
35%
to
4.2%
in
developed
countries,
according
to
the
International
Labour
Organization.
It's
a
trend
that
looks
set
to
continue.
28．Why
do
people
develop
agricultural
robotics?
A．To
change
the
climate.
B．To
liberate
the
workforce.
C．To
control
the
population
growth.
D．To
meet
the
increasing
demand
for
food.
29．Which
of
the
following
is
closest
in
meaning
to
the
underlined
phrase
in
Paragraph
3?
A．changed
B．developed
C．done
away
with
D．taken
up
30．Why
does
Mr
Price
think
vertical
farming
makes
particular
sense
in
Japan?
A．Workforce
is
too
limited.
B．Transport
costs
may
decrease.
C．There
is
so
little
land
available
for
farming.
D．The
technology
has
reached
a
high
level.
31．What
can
be
the
best
title
for
the
text?
A．Farming
Technology
B．The
Future
of
Food
Production
C．Employment
Trend
D．Future

Traffic
jams
and
cities,
it
seems,
go
hand
in
hand.
Everyone
complains
about
being
stuck
in
traffic,
but,
like
the
weather,
no
one
seems
to
do
anything
about
it.
In
particular,
traffic
engineers,
transportation
planners,
and
public
officials
responsible
for
transportation
systems
in
large
cities
are
frequently
criticized
for
failing
to
solve
the
traffic
jam.
But
is
the
traffic
jam
a
sign
of
failure?
Long
queues
at
restaurants
or
theater
box
offices
are
seen
as
signs
of
success.
Should
transportation
systems
be
viewed
any
differently?
I
think
we
should
recognize
that
the
traffic
jam
is
an
unpreventable
by?product
(副产品)
of
successful
cities,
and
view
the
“traffic
problem”
in
a
different
light.
Cities
exist
because
they
improve
social
communication
and
economic
trade.
The
traffic
jam
occurs
where
there
are
lots
of
people
but
limited
space.
Culturally
and
economically
successful
cities
have
the
worst
traffic
problems,
while
decaying
cities
don't
have
much
traffic.
New
York
and
Los
Angeles
are
America's
most
crowded
cities.
But
if
you
want
access
to
major
brokerage
houses
(经纪行),
you
will
find
them
easier
to
reach
in
crowded
New
York
than
in
any
other
large
cities.
And
if
your
company
needs
access
to
post?production
film
editors
or
satellite?guidance
engineers,
you
will
reach
them
more
quickly
through
the
crowded
freeways
of
LA
than
through
less
crowded
roads
elsewhere.
Despite
the
traffic
jam,
a
larger
amount
of
social
communication
and
economic
trade
can
be
made
better
in
large,
crowded
cities
than
elsewhere.
Seen
in
this
light,
the
traffic
jam
is
an
unfortunate
result
of
prosperity
(繁荣),
not
a
cause
of
the
economic
fall
and
urban
decay.
So
while
we
can
consider
the
traffic
jam
as
increasing
cost
in
the
areas
of
big
cities,
the
cost
of
inaccessibility
in
uncrowded
places
is
almost
certainly
greater.
There
is
no
doubt
that
the
traffic
jam
brings
the
terrible
economic
and
environmental
damage
in
places
like
Bangkok,
Jakarta,
and
Lagos.
But
mobility
(流动性)
is
far
higher
and
traffic
jam
levels
are
far
lower
here
in
the
US,
even
in
our
most
crowded
cities.
That's
why,
for
now,
we
don't
see
people
and
capital
streaming
out
of
San
Francisco
and
Chicago,
heading
for
cities
like
El
Centro
and
McAllen.
32．We
can
conclude
from
the
first
paragraph
that
________.
A．the
traffic
jam
and
weather
are
the
two
factors
preventing
the
development
of
big
cities
B．the
traffic
jam
seems
to
be
very
difficult
to
deal
with
C．if
traffic
engineers
try
their
best,
the
traffic
jam
can
be
solved
D．public
officials
are
always
criticized
for
misusing
their
power
33．By
saying
“decaying”
(in
Para.3),
the
author
probably
means
________.
A．less
powerful
and
influential
B．developing
C．rich
and
successful
D．small?sized
34．What
can
we
learn
from
the
last
paragraph?
A．The
traffic
jam
has
caused
terrible
effects
in
cities
such
as
Bangkok
and
Lagos.
B．The
traffic
jam
in
San
Francisco
has
resulted
in
the
capital
flowing
out.
C．The
traffic
jam
level
in
Jakarta
is
lower
than
that
in
the
US.
D．McAllen
is
as
crowded
and
successful
as
San
Francisco.
35．What's
the
author's
opinion
on
the
traffic
jam?
A．In
cities,
the
traffic
jam
is
avoidable.
B．The
traffic
jam
is
both
a
sign
of
failure
and
a
sign
of
success.
C．The
traffic
jam
is
the
result
of
successful
cities.
D．The
traffic
jam
can
promote
social
communication
and
economic
trade.

the
bread
hard
like
nuts.
Besides,
the
coldness
makes
the
bread
become
hard
at
a
faster
speed.
?Coffee.
Since
ground
coffee
like
coffee
beans
require
cool,
dry
and
dark
spots
to
keep
their
taste
and
freshness,
the
refrigerator
is
not
a
good
place
for
them.
Coffee
also
needs
an
airtight
(密封的)
container.
But
if
you
have
much
coffee
that
you
won't
use
right
away,
then
you
can
freeze
it.
__37__
This
way,
you
can
store
it
for
up
to
a
month.
?Tomatoes.
__38__
But
putting
them
in
the
refrigerator
will
cause
them
to
lose
all
of
their
good
taste.
Plus,
the
cold
air
in
the
cooler
refrigerator
stops
the
ripening
(成熟的)
process
as
well.
And
as
we
all
know,
ripening
is
what
gives
every
tomato
more
taste.
For
best
results,
keep
tomatoes
out,
and
inside
a
basket
or
a
bowl
on
your
counter.
?Honey.
Make
sure
that
you
keep
honey
in
an
airtight
container.
__39__
Therefore,
storing
it
in
your
cooler
refrigerator
doesn't
make
sense.
Honey
is
a
naturally
preserved
food
so
it
needs
no
help
from
us.
Amazingly
enough,
placing
honey
in
your
refrigerator
will
in
fact
speed
up
the
sugar
crystallization
(结晶)
process.
__40__
A．Nuts.
B．Bread.
C．We
all
love
tomatoes
for
their
taste.
D．Just
make
sure
to
put
the
coffee
in
airtight
bags.
E．Honey
will
stay
good
almost
forever
in
that
way.
F．Some
of
you
dislike
the
tomatoes'
taste
because
it
is
a
little
strange.
G．As
a
result,
the
honey
will
become
harder
or
nearly
impossible
to
eat.

Many

The

Mary
waited
anxiously
for
her
turn
in
the
empty
dressing
room.
Never
had
she
been
so
nervous
before.
This
competition
was
of
vital
importance
to
her
comeback.
“If
I
can
win
today，”
she
said
to
herself,
“I
can
dance
on
the
national
stage
next
month.”
Three
months
ago,
her
left
arm
was
seriously
injured
in
a
car
accident.
After
the
medical
treatment,
she
began
to
recover
slowly.
She
practiced
over
and
over
again
in
order
to
regain
her
dancing
skills.
“Hi,
Mary，”
in
rushed
her
friend
Jessica.
“How
is
your
arm?
Is
it
going
to
influence
your
performance？”
“I
guess
it
can
be
tolerated
for
I
am
to
win
the
match，”
said
Mary
with
a
determined
look.
“Admirable!
But
I
hear
that
a
girl
called
Linda
is
really
gifted
and
strong.
She
can
be
your
real
well?matched
e
on！”
After
Jessica
left,
Mary
decided
to
practice
her
most
difficult
spin.
“If
I
don't
try
harder,
I
won't
grasp
this
chance，”
she
thought.
But
her
arm
began
to
hurt,
making
her
worried.
“Mary,
what
makes
you
think
you
have
a
chance
tonight？”
she
said
to
herself.
After
the
pain
was
gone,
she
continued
to
warm
up.
A
slim
girl
hurried
in
and
put
down
an
equipment
bag
on
the
chair.
Then,
she
took
out
her
dance
dress
quickly
and
put
it
on
skillfully.
Seeing
Mary,
she
smiled
politely
and
said,
“Hi,
I'm
Linda.
I
am
the
next
one！”
Mary
nodded
in
reply
but
felt
uncomfortable.
“This
is
just
my
competitor.
Because
of
her,
I
may
lose
tonight.”
Her
mind
was
wandering
when
Linda
let
out
a
scream,
“Oh,
God,
I
can't
find
my
music
tape！”
Linda
searched
her
bag
but
in
vain.
“It
may
be
missing
on
the
way.”
With
these
words,
she
then
rushed
out.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Suddenly,
Mary
caught
sight
of
a
black
box
under
the
chair
where
Linda
put
her
bag.________________________________________________________________________

Hearing

Oh，we
had
a

for

You'll

Harry

M:
Wonderful.
I
think
it
is
the
most
exciting

W:
Really?
M:
Yes.
Don't
you
think
so?
W:
Well，nothing
in
the
book
is
real.
They
are
all
imaginary.
I
felt
quite
disappointed
after
reading
it.
M:
But
it
is
a
reflection
of
the
future
we
may
have.
Science
is
so
powerful.
Something
magical
now
may
turn
out
to
be
true
in
the
future.
W:
Well，I
don't
deny
that.
But
I
still
do
not
like
it.
Furthermore，I
think
the
book
is
too
childish
to
read.
M:
Childish?
It
is
a
book
enjoyed
both
by
children
and
adults;
many
college

study
it

How

The
first
American
President,
George
Washington,
worked
with
the
city
planner
Pierre
L'Enfant
to
choose
the
land
for
the
new
presidential
home.
A
competition
was
held
to
find
a
building
designer.
Nine
plans
were
considered,
and
the
architect
James
Hoban
won.
Construction
began
in
1792.
The
first
president
to
live
there
was
John
Adams.
He
and
his
wife
Abigail
moved
into
the
White
House
in
1800.
During
the
war
of
1812，British
troops
burned
most
of
the
inside
of
the
White
House.
James
Hoban
helped
rebuild
it.
Over
the
years，each
president
has
made
changes
or
additions
to
the
building.
The
White
House
walls
are
made
of
stone
that
is
painted
white.
But
the
famous
building
has
had
other
names
over
time,
including
the
President's
House
and
the
Executive
Mansion.
In
the
early
1900s,
President
Theodore
Roosevelt
made
the
White
House
its
official
name.
In
the
1930s，President
Franklin
Roosevelt
decided
to
rebuild
and
expand
part
of
the
building
that
became
known
as
the
West
Wing.
Some
of
the
public
rooms
in
the
White
House
are
named
colours.
There
is
the
Blue
Room,
the
Green
Room
and
the
Red
Room.
答案：1～5 ABCBA 6～10 CBBBC 11～15 BBACC
16～20 BABCB

a
price
of
about
$1,800.”可知，Aibo是最贵的。故选D项。

by
2050...”可知，我们对粮食的需求在快速增长，为了满足这一需求，人们开始研发农业机器人。
29．答案与解析：C 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在的后半句话instead
grows
vegetables
on
stacks
of
trays
indoors
in
an
automated
factory可知，这家公司不再在土地上耕种，而是采用了一种全新的种植方式。
30．答案与解析：C 推理判断题。根据第三段的第三句“...Japan,
where
land
is
actually
a
very
scarce
resource,
it
makes
more
sense
to
stack
your
production”可知，日本土地稀少，故vertical
farming在日本有特殊意义。
31．答案与解析：B 主旨大意题。文章第一段介绍农业机器人；第二段介绍人类面临的问题使农业自动化意义重大；最后提出vertical
farming这种种植方式。全文围绕提高未来粮食产量展开，所以选B项。
D
【语篇解读】 现在许多城市都出现了交通拥挤问题。本文就交通拥挤和城市发展的关系进行了讨论。
32．答案与解析：B 考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“like
the
weather,
no
one
seems
to
do
anything
about
it”可知，人们对交通堵塞现象无能为力，说明交通堵塞问题很棘手，难以解决。
33．答案与解析：A 考查词义猜测。由该词所在句子中的while(而，却)表对比可知，decaying的意思应与上文中的successful相反，故选A项。
34．答案与解析：A 考查细节理解。根据最后一段第一句“There
is
no
doubt
that
the
traffic
jam
brings
the
terrible
economic
and
environmental
damage
in
places
like
Bangkok,
Jakarta,
and
Lagos”可知A项正确，其他选项均与文中事实不符。
35．答案与解析：C 考查观点态度。根据第二段最后一句和第五段可知，作者认为交通拥挤是城市成功的一个不可避免的副产品，应该从另一个不同的角度来看待交通拥挤现象，故选C。文中作者并没有提到交通堵塞是一种失败，B项不正确。
第二节
【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了四种食品不适合放进冰箱。
36．答案与解析：B 设空句为小标题句，根据下面三个标题的内容和句子结构，选项A和B符合条件，这部分内容中的bread，词汇复现，故选B。
37．答案与解析：D 设空句所在段落的小标题为Coffee，只有选项D中出现了coffee，词汇复现，故选D。
38．答案与解析：C 设空句所在段落的小标题为Tomatoes，七个选项中有C和F中出现的tomatoes，由设空句的下一句But
putting
them
in
the
refrigerator
will
cause
them
to
lose
all
of
their
good
taste.
但是把它们放在冰箱里会使他们失去所有的好味道。可知，设空句是谈tomatoes的好味道的，故选C。
39．答案与解析：E 设空句所在段落的小标题为Honey，选项中E和G中出现了honey，从设空句后的Therefore知道它是结论句，所以设空句不能再是结论，选项G中的As
a
result是总结和结论，不是正确选项，只有选项E切题，故选E。
40．答案与解析：G 设空句所在段落的小标题为Honey，选项中E和G中出现了honey，这个设空句在段尾，是对上文的总结，选项G中的As
a
result因此，是有总结意思的词汇，故选G。
第三部分
第一节
【语篇解读】 世界上的许多污染问题是由大量人口涌入城市造成的。人口的迅速增长和对地球资源的不合理利用也使得自然资源濒临枯竭，人类未来的生存状况取决于人们是否能够控制人口增长速度。
41．答案与解析：B 根据上文中的Many
of
the
world's
pollution
problems
have
been
caused
by...可知，人口大量涌入城市导致了污染问题。所以供应人们的需求导致了进一步的污染。lead
to意为“导致”，符合语境。run
across意为“不期而遇；撞见”；result
from意为“产生于……；由……引起”；bring
out意为“使显现；生产；出版”。
42．答案与解析：B 结合第二段最后一句If
the
population
continues
to
grow
at...可知，如果人口继续增加，污染也会随之变得更严重。根据语境选B项。
43．答案与解析：A at...rate为固定搭配，意为“以……速度”。rate意为“速度”时应与介词at连用。
44．答案与解析：C 句意为：有些科学家把人口增长称作“人口污染”。speak
of...
as
意为“把……称作”。
45．答案与解析：A 从上句的数字可以看出，世界人口一直在增长，所以本句表示人口数到1850年应是“达到”十亿左右。reach意为“达到”，是及物动词，可以直接加宾语。get作“达到”讲时是不及物动词，不能直接跟宾语。故选A项。
46．答案与解析：B 根据下文中的by
the
year
2050可知，此处讲述未来的人口状况。expect意为“预期；预料”，it
is
expected...意为“预计……”。故选B项。
47．答案与解析：C 根据上文内容可知，文章讲述的是世界人口问题，故选C项。
48．答案与解析：A 从下文内容Some
of
them
are
almost
gone.可以推断，此处指人们对资源的使用，故选A项。
49．答案与解析：C 根据前后句内容可知，资源的枯竭是由于人们对资源的加速开采使用造成的，故选C项。
50．答案与解析：C 上文提到人口的急剧增长带来了很多问题，由此判断如果想要解决资源问题，就要控制人口的增长，故选C项。
51．答案与解析：D 结合第一段第二句To
supply
the
needs
of
the
people...可知，要满足人类的“需求”，此处与前文相呼应。need此处为名词，意为“需求”。故选D项。
52．答案与解析：A present意为“目前的；现在的”，符合语境。
53．答案与解析：B 根据上文内容可知，世界资源匮乏，所以不能供给更多人去利用，人类就会遭遇饥饿问题。故选B项。
54．答案与解析：B 根据下文Many
people
believe
that
human
survival
in
the
future
__55__
on
the
answer
to
this
question.可知，此处讨论的是人口的增长是否会以现在的速度“持续”下去。故选B项。
55．答案与解析：A depend
on意为“依赖”。根据前文可知，人口持续增长会导致环境污染问题，而环境污染会直接影响人类的未来，也就是说，人类未来的生存状况取决于人口增长速度的解决情况，故选A项。
第二节
【语篇解读】 本文介绍了意大利、西班牙和希腊这几个地中海国家独特的午餐文化。
56．答案与解析：are
closed 考查动词的时态和语态。此处shops与close之间为动宾关系，故应用close的被动语态，且由空前的时态可知，此处应用一般现在时，故填are
closed。
57．答案与解析：seriously 考查副词。此处表示当地人非常重视午餐。take
sth.
seriously意为“认真对待……”，为固定搭配。因此本空填seriously。
58．答案与解析：consumed 考查非谓语动词。snack与consume之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，应用过去分词作后置定语，因此本空填consumed。
59．答案与解析：a 考查冠词。此处指去开会的路上，泛指一场会议应用a
meeting。
60．答案与解析：covering 考查非谓语动词。It
(午餐)与cover之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，应用现在分词作状语。
61．答案与解析：of 考查介词。because是连词，后接句子，而because
of是介词短语，后面可以接名词(词组)，根据空后的“the
hot
climate
in
these
countries”可知，本空应填of。
62．答案与解析：preparation 考查名词。in
preparation
for意为“为……做准备”。
63．答案与解析：But 考查连词。空前提到“luxurious
lunch”，空后是“not
just
on
the
food”，前后是转折关系，故应用连词But。
64．答案与解析：where 考查定语从句的关系词。此处为定语从句，先行词为“a
social(社交聚会)”，关系词在从句中作地点状语，应填关系副词where。
65．答案与解析：healthiest 考查形容词最高级。此处表示健康专家认为地中海饮食是世界上最健康的饮食之一。

参考范文：
Suddenly,
Mary
caught
sight
of
a
black
box
under
the
chair
where
Linda
put
her
bag.
She
bent
over
to
pick
it
up.
“Linda's
music
tape！”
She
cried
out
in
surprise.
“It
must
have
rolled
out
of
her
bag,
while
she
got
changed
here.”
At
this
moment,
an
idea
flashed
through
her
mind,
which
rooted
her
to
the
spot.
“Without
her
music
tape,
Linda
will
surely
lose;
without
this
real
competitor,
I
will
definitely
win.”
The
very
thought
of
this
made
Mary
shiver
slightly.
She
was
in
a
dilemma,
wondering
what
to
do
next.
“Do
I
really
want
to
win
so
much？”
She
hesitated
for
a
second
and
then
hurried
out
to
give
the
music
tape
to
Linda,
who
was
extremely
anxious
in
the
corridor.
Linda
was
so
grateful
to
Mary,
and
finished
her
dance
successfully.
Hearing
her
name
called,
Mary
walked
on
the
stage
with
her
heart
beating
faster
and
faster.
Nervous
as
she
was,
she
stepped
onto
the
stage
with
a
big
smile.
She
danced
skillfully
to
the
music
and
completed
her
most
difficult
spin
smoothly.
“Good，”
she
said
to
herself,
“my
injured
arm
is
awesome
today.”
As
the
music
ended,
thunderous
applause
filled
the
stadium.
With
the
final
marks
announced,
Mary
knew
she
achieved
her
goal
and
tears
began
to
well

“Congratulations!

Ⅰ.阅读
A
About
six
years
ago
I
was
going
through
a
tough
time,
having
two
jobs
to
afford
my
rent.
On
a
cold
Sunday
morning,
I
went
to
GameStop—a
video
game
retailer
(零售商),
to
cancel
the
game
I'd
booked.
A
woman
in
a
car
parked
outside
called
me
when
I
exited
the
store.
Though
it
was
in
broad
daylight,
I
was
shy
about
it
and
kept
some
distance
when
I
walked
over.
She
said
she
couldn't
walk
and
requested
me
to
purchase
a
Kinect,
a
popular
game
device,
for
her
as
her
son's
Christmas
gift.
Because
of
her
leg
disease,
it
was
painful
for
her
to
move
around.
She
called
ahead
but
the
employee
(雇员)
wasn't
willing
to
help.
She
gave
me
about
$100
in
cash
and
her
credit
card.
I
walked
back
in
and
bought
the
Kinect.
Then
it
occurred
to
me
that
this
woman,
a
complete
stranger,
trusted
me.
What
was
it
that
stopped
me
from
lying
about
the
payment
method
and
just
pocketing
her
cash?
She
couldn't
know
I
wasn't
a
cheat;
and
how
could
she
possibly
believe
in
someone
so
much?
I
handed
her
the
cash
back,
explaining
I
had
to
pay
with
her
card—it
was
above
$100
at
the
time,
and
handed
over
the
game
device
and
her
credit
card.
“This
is
what
my
son's
been
longing
for.
Thank
you!
By
the
way,
just
from
glancing
at
you,
I
know
you
are
the
one
who
will
be
a
friend
to
someone
in
need.
You
have
a
face
of
an
angel！”
she
said.
She
gave
me
$10
and
refused
to
take
it
back.
Then
she
drove
away.
She
had
no
idea
how
much
of
a
difference
even
$10
made.
I
was
able
to
buy
a
few
cheap
groceries
for
the
week
and
it
really
made
the
hard
time
in
my
life
a
little
better.
She
might
think
I
helped
her;
however,
I
truly
felt
like
the
one
who
was
being
gifted
something
amazing.

C．A
Stranger
Who
Had
Faith
in
Me
D．An
Experience
That
Changed
My
Life
B
I
took
a
motor
rickshaw
to
the
train
station
in
the
city
of
Belapur.
The
driver
didn't
speak
much
English,
but
understood
“Belapur
Railway
Station”.
I
had
my
tabla,
a
traditional
drum
from
India,
my
suitcase
with
my
clothes
and
other
essentials
(必需品).
The
feeling
of
flying
across
cars
in
this
little
machine
is
as
if
you
are
inside
a
box
with
tiny
wheels,
dashing
through
terrible
traffic.
I
arrived
at
the
station
safely,
and
took
a
heavy
breath
as
I
unloaded
my
baggage
before
the
ticket
office.
It
was
the
first
time
that
I
had
taken
a
train
in
India.
I
wanted
to
go
to
Tilak
Nagar,
where
I
was
going
to
learn
traditional
vocal
music
(声乐).
Standing
in
line,
I
counted
at
least
20
people
staring
at
me.
I
bought
my
ticket,
which
was
only
55
cents
for
a
20?minute
train
ride.
The_prices_still_blow_me_away.
When
the
train
came
after
15
minutes
or
so,
I
got
on
at
full
speed,
as
the
train
only
stopped
for
a
few
seconds.
The
locals
again
stared
at
me.
This
was
a
train
especially
for
local
transport.
After
a
while,
a
young
man
asked
me
if
he
could
talk
to
me.
He
wanted
to
know
if
I
was
in
a
band.
I
stated
no,
but
I
loved
to
play
the
tabla.
Through
the
conversation
I
knew
he
was
a
student
of
engineering
with
his
exams
to
be
taken
the
next
day,
and
I
wished
him
good
luck
for
the
exams
sincerely,
as
I
knew
what
it
meant
to
Indian
students
to
get
good
marks
on
their
exams.
If
students
did
not
get
good
enough
scores,
job
opportunities
would
be
few
in
the
highly?competitive
environment.
The
student
I
met
helped
me
unload
my
luggage
as
the
train
reached
Tilak
Nagar
Station.
He
shook
my
hand
strongly
and

The
American
company
Amazon
has
launched
a
store
that
does
not
require
you
to
stand
in
a
checkout
line
or
someone
to
process
your
payment.
__1__
People
with
the
app
can
enter
the
store,
choose
the
products
they
want
and
then
leave
the
store
with
them.
The
company
opened
its
first
Amazon
Go
store
this
week
in
the
state
of
Washington,
after
more
than
a
year
of
testing.
You
first
need
to
download
the
Amazon
Go
app.
__2__
Once
inside,
hundreds
of
cameras
and
electronic
sensors
follow
people's
movements
and
record
all
the
products
chosen.
The
products
are
then
placed
in
the
app's
virtual
shopping
cart.
In
other
words,
the
app
remembers
everything
chosen
by
the
customer.
If
you
decide
against
buying
one
or
more
products
before
leaving
the
store,
__3__
The
system
is
powered
by
artificial
intelligence
or
AI
technology.
At
the
end
of
the
visit,
the
customer
just
walks
out
of
the
store
with
all
the
desired
products.
Payment
is
made
automatically
through
the
app,
which
is
linked
to
the
buyer's
credit
card.
The
first
Amazon
Go
is
a
small
food
market,
selling
mainly
ready?to?eat
products
and
drinks.
__4__
Even
though
there
is
no
need
for
cashiers
to
take
payments,
__5__
Some
prepare
food,
while
others
refill
product
supplies
and
assist
customers.
Amazon
has
yet
to
announce
plans
for
additional
Go
stores.
Last
year,
the
online
marketer
bought
U．S.?based
Whole
Foods
Market,
giving
the
company
470
stores.
But
Amazon
said
it
has
no
immediate
plans
to
add
the
same
technology
to
the
larger
and
more
complex
Whole

markets.
A．Amazon

and
handed
over
the

device
and
her
credit
card.可知，“我”走进去买了游戏设备，然后把现金还给她，解释说“我”必须用她的卡来支付——当时游戏设备的价钱超过100美元，“我”还把游戏设备和她的信用卡给了她，由此可推知作者是一位好心、诚实的人，故选A项。
4．答案与解析：B 主旨大意题。文章介绍了作者曾经因为生活艰难，去取消早先预订的游戏时帮助一位残疾妇女的故事。这名妇人认为作者给予了她帮助，但是作者认为他才是那个得到帮助的人，这体现了帮助别人就是帮助自己的主题，故选B项。

Ⅰ.阅读
A
What
shape
the
school
of
the
future
will
take
is
uncertain,
but
most
educators
and
observers
agree
that
the
future
school
will
go
electronic.
In
the
future,
schools
as
we
know
will
no
longer
exist.
In
their
place
will
be
community?style
centers
operating
seven
days
a
week,
24
hours
a
day.
Computers
will
become
an
essential
part
for
an
effective
school
of
the
future.
Students
will
see
and
hear
teachers
on
computers.
Accessing
“classrooms”
on
their
home
computers,
students
will
learn
when
it's
most
convenient
for
them.
Yet
some
attendance
at
an
actual
school
will
be
required
to
help
students
develop
appropriate
social
skills.
One
of
American
public
schools,
A.
C.
T．Academy
in
McKinney,
Texas,
was
created
as
an
actual
“school
of
the
future”.
Originally
funded
by
a
$
5.5
million
grant
from
the
US
Department
of
Education,
the
school
is
now
supported
by
the
McKinney
Independent
School
District.
At
the
school,
knowledge
is
“actively
constructed
by
the
learner
on
a
base
of
prior
knowledge,
attitudes,
and
values”.
Sophisticated
(先进的)
technology
is
in
place
to
support
the
pursuit
of
knowledge.
The
250
Academy
students
all
have
access
to
a
computer.
The
12?to
18?year?olds
each
have
their
own
computer;
7?to
11?year?olds
have
one
portable
computer
for
every
two
students;
and
5?and
6?year?olds
use
computers
at
fixed
stations.
In
addition,
the
students
use
multimedia
computers,
printers,
CDROMs,
VCRs,
video
editing
machines,
camcorders,
cable
television,
online
services,
and
telephones—simple
but
effective
research
tools.
Whatever
the
shape
of
a
school
of
the
future
might
be,
technology
is
always
a
huge
part
of
it.
The
school
days
when
computers
mean
processing
words
or
playing
games
will
be
behind
us.
1．According
to
the
passage,
what
will
play
an
important
role
in
the
school
of
the
future?
A．Computers.
B．Environment.
C．Teachers.
D．Skills.
2．It
can
be
inferred
from
the
passage
that
________.
A．there
will
be
no
longer
schools
in
the
future
B．students
will
only
stay
at
home
to
study
in
the
future
C．many
educators
are
sure
of
the
function
of
future
schools
D．many
students
are
playing
games
on
computers
now
3．From
Paragraph
5

________.
A．from
any
age
group
B．12?to
18?year?olds
C．7?to

4．Which
of
the
following
about
A．C.T.
Academy
is
TRUE?
A．It
is
the
only
actual
public
school
in
the
future.
B．It
was
funded
by
the
McKinney
Independent
School
District.
C．All
students
in
it
have
a

In
the
future,
therapy
patients
may
spend
less
time
sitting
in
a
therapist's
office
and
more
time
exploring
virtual
worlds.
Researchers
have
created
a
new
virtual
reality
(VR)
app
to
treat
the
fear
of
heights.
The
app
just
had
a
clinical
trial.
People
developed
other
VR
therapies
in
the
past.
These
programs
needed
a
real?life
therapist
to
guide
patients
through
the
treatment.
But
the
new
system
only
uses
an
animated
avatar
(虚拟化身)
within
the
app.
The
avatar
coaches
patients
as
they
climb
a
virtual
high?rise.
This
kind
of
therapist?free
counseling
could
make
it
much
easier
for
people
to
get
help
for
fears
and
other
disorders.
“This
is
‘a
huge
step
forward’
for
VR
therapy，”
says
Jennifer
Hames,
a
clinical
psychologist.
“With
this
system,
people
don't
need
to
visit
a
therapist's
office
to
get
expert
help.
They
could
get
help
in
their
regular
doctor's
office,
or
even
at
home.
That
could
be
good
for
people
who
aren't
comfortable
with
face?to?face
therapy,
or
who
can't
afford
it，”
she
says.
To
test
how
effective
their
app
was,
Freeman
and
colleagues
recruited
(招募)
100
adult
volunteers,
who
were
moderately
to
severely
afraid
of
heights.
The
researchers
randomly
assigned
49
people
to
have
VR
treatment
while
the
other
51
participants
got
no
treatment.
Before
the
experiment
began,
participants
filled
out
a
questionnaire
that
rated
their
fear
of
heights
from
16
to
80.
They
filled
out
the
same
questionnaire
right
after
the
treatment.
Then
they
did
it
again
two
weeks
later.
The
scores
of
patients
who
got
no
treatment
stayed
the
same.
But
people
who
used
the
VR
app
dropped
an
average
of
about
25
points
on
the
scale.
“The
results
give
strong
evidence
that
the
new
VR
program
is
more
helpful
than
no
treatment
at
all.
But
it's
not
clear
how
well
this
type
of
system
could
work
for
more
complex
mental
health
issues，”
says
Mark
Hayward,
a
clinical
psychologist
at
the
University
of
Sussex.
“And
when
it
comes
to
helping
people
with
more
severe
symptoms,
VR
probably
won't
replace
trained
therapists
any
time
soon.”
5．What
is
the
passage
mainly
about?
A．The
causes
of
the
fear
of
heights.
B．The
results
of
the
fear
of
heights.
C．A
VR
app
to
treat
the
fear
of
heights.
D．The
treatment
of
the
fear
of
heights.
6．What
do
we
know
about
the
VR
therapy?
A．It
has
a
therapist
to
guide
patients.
B．It
is
convenient
and
doesn't
cost
much.
C．It
allows
patients
to
climb
a
real
high?rise.
D．It
requires
patients
to
go
to
the
therapist's
office.
7．Why
did
Freeman's
team
conduct
the
experiment?
A．To
rate
the
participants'
fear
of
heights.
B．To
check
the
effectiveness
of
the
VR
app.
C．To
find
out
how
severe
people's
fear
of
heights
is.
D．To
explore
a
new
way
to
improve
the
treatment.
8．In
helping
people
with
more
severe
symptoms,
________.
A．the
VR
app
is
very
helpful
B．the
results
of
the
app
are
not
clear
C．trained
therapists
are
still
needed
D．no
trained
therapists
are
necessary
C
Futurologists
are
making
a
lot
of
predictions
about
our
future
life
and
they
are
predicting
how
we
will
travel,
work
and
live
in
the
next
30
years.
By
2048,
some
futurologists
foresee
that
some
“talking”
buildings
will
appear
in
our
life.
By
the
middle
of
the
century,
it's
believed
that
buildings
will
be
able
to
“talk”
to
people
through
various
sensors
when
the
heating
needs
to
be
turned
on.
As
a
result,
there
will
be
no
switches.
Instead,
a
lot
of
networks
will
appear,
which
can
be
compared
to
a
human
nervous
system.
In
the
next
30
years,
buildings
will
be
made
from
concrete
plastics
and
shape?changing
materials.
All
of
them
can
heal
themselves
at
that
time.
As
architects
(建筑师)
are
racing
to
develop
the
world's
tallest
buildings,
there
will
be
a
need
for
new
kinds
of
elevators,
through
which
vehicles
could
even
travel
into
the
buildings.
German
engineers
have
already
started
working
on
such
technology
called
Multi.
By
mid?century,
scientists
believe
that
buildings
will
be
miles
tall.
Some
of
them
may
be
very
large
and
they
can
function
as
small
cities.
By
comparison,
at
present,
the
world's
tallest
building,
the
Burj
Khalifa
Tower
in
Dubai,
measures
828
metres
high.
As
the
future
building
can
rise
through
the
clouds,
their
windows
will
be
replaced
by
virtual
screens.
In
this
way,
people
can
choose
any
view
as
they
like.
At
height
extremes,
a
London
Spaceport
is
also
likely
to
come
into

develops
very
quickly.
There
is
a
huge
cost
advantage
going
to
space
from
as
high
a
base
as
possible,
so
a

is
very
likely
to
be
over
10
km
and
even
as
much
as
30
km,
using
carbon?based
materials.

Ⅱ.七选五
With
the
development
of
science
and
technology,
our
daily
life
is
becoming
more
varied
and
more
convenient.
At
the
same
time,
life
in
the
late
21st
century
will
be
different
from
that
nowadays,
because
many
changes
will
take
place
then,
but
what
will
the
changes
be?
__1__
There
will
be
more
and
more
people
in
the
world
and
most
of
them
will
live
longer
than
today.
Computers
will
be
much
smaller
and
more
useful,
and
there
will
be
at
least
one
in
every
home.
__2__
People
will
work
fewer
hours
than
they
do
now.
They
will
have
more
free
time
for
sports,
watching
TV
and
traveling.
Traveling
will
be
much
cheaper
and
easier.
__3__
__4__
More
land
will
be
used
to
build
new
towns
and
houses.
Then
there
will
be
less
room
for
cows
and
sheep,
so
meat
will
be
more
expensive.
Maybe
no
one
will
eat
it
every
day.
Instead
they
eat
more
vegetables
and
fruit.
Maybe
people
will
be
healthier
thanks
to
that.
Work
in
the
future
will
be
different,
too.
__5__
Because
of
this,
many
people
will
not
have
enough
work
to
do.
This
will
be
a
problem.
A．The
population
is
growing
fast.
B．Robots
are
most
useful
in
the
future.
C．There
will
be
changes
in
our
food,
too.
D．Dangerous
and
hard
work
will
be
done
by
robots.
E．The
population
is
becoming
smaller
and
smaller.
F．And
more
people
will
go
to
other
countries
for
travel.
G．And
computer
study
will
be
one
of
the
important
subjects
at
school.

Ⅰ.阅读
Suppose
we
built
a
robot
to
explore
the
planet
Mars.
We
provide
the
robot
with
seeing
detectors
(探测器)
to
keep
it
away
from
danger.
It
is
powered
entirely
by
the
sun.
Should
we
program
the
robot
to
be
equally
active
at
all
times?
No,
the
robot
would
be
using
up
energy
at
a
time
when
it
was
not
receiving
any.
So
we
would
probably
program
it
to
stop
its
activity
at
night
and
to
wake
up
at
dawn
the
next
morning.
According
to
evolutionary
(进化的)
theory
of
sleep,
evolution
equipped
us
with
a
regular
pattern
of
sleeping
and
waking
for
the
same
reason.
The
theory
does
not
deny
that
sleep
provides
some
important
restorative
functions.
It
merely
says
that
evolution
has
programmed
us
to
perform
those
functions
at
a
time
when
activity
would
be
inefficient
and
possibly
dangerous.
However,
sleep
protects
us
only
from
the
sort
of
trouble
we
might
walk
into;
it
does
not
protect
us
from
trouble
that
comes
looking
for
us.
So
we
sleep
well
when
we
are
in
a
familiar,
safe
place,
but
we
sleep
lightly,
if
at
all,
when
we
fear
that
bears
will
nose
into
the
tent.
The
evolutionary
theory
explains
the
differences
in
sleep
among
creatures.
Why
do
cats,
for
instance,
sleep
so
much,
while
horses
sleep
so
little?
Surely
cats
do
not
need
five
times
as
much
repair
and
restoration
as
horses
do.
But
cats
can
afford
to
have
long
periods
of
inactivity
because
they
spend
little
time
eating
and
are
unlikely
to
be
attacked
while
they
sleep.
Horses
must
spend
almost
all
their
waking
hours
eating,
because
what
they
eat
is
very
low
in
energy
value.
Moreover,
they
cannot
afford
to
sleep
too
long
or
too
deeply,
because
their
survival
depends
on
their
ability
to
run
away
from
attackers.
1．The
author
uses
the
example
of
the
robot
in
space
exploration
to
tell
us
________.
A．the
differences
between
robots
and
men
B．the
reason
why
men
need
to
sleep
C．about
the
need
for
robots
to
save
power
D．about
the
danger
of
men
working
at
night
2．Evolution
has
programmed
man
to
sleep
at
night
chiefly
to
help
him
________.
A．keep
up
a
regular
pattern
of
life
B．prevent
trouble
that
comes
looking
for
him
C．avoid
danger
and
inefficient
labor
D．restore
his
bodily
functions
3．Which
of
the
following
is
the
main
idea
of
the
passage?
A．Evolution
has
equipped
all
creatures
with
a
regular
pattern
of
sleeping
and
waking.
B．The
study
of
sleep
is
an
important
part
of
the
evolutionary
theory.
C．Sleeping
patterns
must
be
taken
into
consideration
in
the
designing
of
robots.
D．The
sleeping
pattern
of
a
living
creature
is
determined
by
the
food
it
eats.
Ⅱ.七选五
Many
countries
have
traditional
dishes,
made
from
special
ingredients
and
prepared
in
a
certain
way.
__1__，
and
when
tourists
visit,
these
are
the
foods
they
want
to
try.
But
why
are
some
foods
more
popular
than
others
in
certain
areas?
Traditional
ingredients
Typical
recipes
(菜谱)
are
usually
made
from
native
plant
and
animal
products.
For
example,
Korean
dishes
often
include
rice
and
soybeans
because
both
plants
are
native
to
East
Asia
and
grow
well
in
hot,
wet
areas.
In
contrast,
wheat
grows
well
in
drier
areas,
like
the
Middle
East,
where
bread
is
a
common
staple
(主要的)
food.
__2__，
whereas
inland
cuisine
tends
to
use
more
meat
from
farm
animals.
Food
preservation
Local
cuisine
often
depends
on
how
people
traditionally
prepared
food
for
storage.
In
warm
weather,
meat
and
fish
can
go
off
quickly,
so
they
must
be
cooked
right
away
or
preserved
for
later.
__3__.
For
that
reason,
modern
Norwegian
cuisine
includes
many
smoked
foods.
Cooking
techniques
__4__.
In
China,
people
often
fry
food
in
a
deep
metal
pan
or
steam
it
in
a
basket
over
hot
water.
In
Morocco,
people
cook
traditional
dishes
in
a
special
pot
called
a
tajine,
while
in
parts
of
India,
people
use
a
large
oven,
called
a
tandoor.
And
some
local
dishes
aren't
cooked
at
all.
Imported
(进口的)
ingredients
Sometimes
local
cuisine
includes
ingredients
that
originally
came
from
another
place.
__5__，
while
many
Russian
dishes
are
made
from
potatoes.
However,
all
of
these
ingredients
were
brought
to
Europe
from
South
America
in
the
fifteenth
and
sixteenth
centuries.
But
now
they
are
common
around
the
world.
A．Seafood
is
often
a
key
ingredient
in
coastal
areas
B．There
is
a
danger
that
local
food
traditions
will
be
lost
C．Many
different
cooking
techniques
are
used
around
the
world
D．For
example,
Italian
dishes
often
include
tomatoes
and
peppers
E．Nowadays,
we
can
buy
food
products
from
all
around
the
world
F．These
local
dishes
can
become
symbols
of
a
place
and
its
culture
G．In
Norway,
the
Vikings
used
to
“cure”
meat
and
fish
by
smoking
them
over
a
fire
Ⅲ.完形填空
A
couple
of
weeks
ago,
my
friend
offered
to
sell
some
of
our
things
for
us.
I
thought
it
was
a
good
opportunity
to
__1__
my
7?year?old
son's
room
and
__2__
some
toys
that
were
no
longer
suitable
for
him
to
play
with.
We
__3__
that
all
the
money
we
made
from
selling
the
toys
would
be
his.
The
night
before
the
sale,
we
loaded
up
the
truck
with
toys
and
a
little
bike
that
was
too
__4__
for
him.
In
the
yard
he
__5__
the
bike
for
the
last
time
and
then
happily
put
it
onto
the
truck.
This
little
bike
had
at

two
previous
owners
as
far
as
we
__6__.
It
wasn't
in
the
best
__7__
and
was
certainly
not
new,
but
the
tires
(轮胎)
were
still
good.
We
put
a
sign
a
price
of
$10
on
the
bike,
but
it
wasn't
sold.
So,
after
the
sale
was
__8__，
my
friend
put
it
on
the
sidewalk,
with
a
sign
that
__9__“FREE
BIKE”.
Within
five
minutes
the
bell
rang.
A
little
boy
was
__10__
there.
In
poor
English
he
asked
whether
the
bike
was
really
free.
We
said
yes
and
that
he
could
have
it
for
__11__.
He
smiled,
got
on
the
bike
and
rode
away.
Later
that
evening
when
I
told
my
son
how
much
money
he
had
made
at
the
sale,
he
was
very
__12__，
shouting
happily.
He
asked
about
a
few
of
his
things,
wondering
__13__
all
his
things
had
been
sold.
When
he
asked
about
the
bike,
I
told
him
about
the
little
boy
and
that
made
him
smile.
He
was
much
happier
than
when
I
told
him
how
much
money
he
had
__14__.
He
was
so
happy
to
hear
that
someone
else
would

Ⅴ.概要写作
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Healthy
eating
is
becoming
more
important
than
ever.
Teaching
your
kids
healthy
eating
habits
is
one
of
the
most
important
things
you
can
do
for
them
as
a
parent.
But
while
there's
no
miracle
tip
that
will
make
the
difference
between
healthy
children
and
obese
or
overweight
children,
there
are
some
things
you
can
do
to
instil
(逐步培养)
healthier
eating
habits
in
your
kids.
Most
parents
and
children
claim
that
breakfast
is
part
of
their
everyday
routines.
Children
who
eat
breakfast
have
higher
math
grades,
make
improvement
in
reading
scores
and
basically
perform
better
in
school.
They
also
tend
to
have
healthier
bodies
in
general,
with
better?controlled
weight
levels.
When
you
take
them
to
the
grocery
store
with
you,
there
is
no
doubt
that
your
children
will
request
the
most
sugar?filled,
fat?injected
products
on
the
shelf.
But
these
are
not
the
ones
to
have
in
your
home—and
if
possible,
you
should
avoid
purchasing
them.
Be
sure
your
kids
have
healthy
snacks.
Yes,
kids
like
white
bread.
But
any
kid
can
get
used
to
the
taste
of
whole
grains.
It
just
takes
a
little
practice.
Look
for
white
bread,
and
add
other
whole
grains
into
their
diet.
Start
toasting
their
sandwiches.
When
they
are
toasted,
it'll
be
that
much
harder
for
them
to
tell
the
difference
in
taste.
One
of
the
best
things
you
can
do
to
establish
healthy
eating
habits
in
your
kids
is
to
have
them
yourself.
When
your
children
see
you
reaching
for
an
apple
instead
of
a
bag
of
chips,
they
tend
to
do
the
same.
Involve
your
kids
in
shopping
for
and
cooking
food.
This
will
give
you
the
chance
to
teach
your
kids
about
healthy
choices
and
why
they
should
make
them.
In
short,
you
can
tell
your
kids
every
day
to
eat
healthy
foods...but
if
you
don't
do
the
same
thing
yourself,
the
lesson
will
never
stick.

countries
have
traditional
dishes,
made
from
special
ingredients
and
prepared
in
a
certain
way.(许多国家都有传统的菜肴，用特殊的原料制成，并以某种方式烹制。)以及设空处后面的and
when
tourists
visit,
these
are
the
foods
they
want
to
try(当游客参观时，这些是他们想要尝试的食物)可知，F项(这些地方菜可以成为一个地方及其文化的象征)承上启下，故选F项。
2．答案与解析：A 根据上下文可知，这里陈述不同的食物来自不同的地区，whereas表转折，所以A项(海鲜通常是沿海地区的关键食材)符合语境，故选A项。
3．答案与解析：G 根据前一句In
warm
weather,
meat
and
fish
can
go
off
quickly,
so
they
must
be
cooked
right
away
or
preserved
for
later.(在温暖的天气里，肉和鱼会很快变质，所以它们必须马上煮熟或保存起来以备以后食用。)和后一句For
that
reason,
modern
Norwegian
cuisine
includes
many
smoked
foods.(因此，现代挪威美食包括许多熏制食物。)可知，设空处应该是有关食物保存方面的内容，G项(在挪威，维京人曾经通过在火上熏制肉和鱼来保存它们)承上启下，故选G项。
4．答案与解析：C 根据主题句Cooking
techniques(烹饪技术)和下文讲述的中国、摩洛哥和印度使用不同的烹饪技术可知，设空处应该是表示世界各地使用了许多不同的烹饪技术，故选C项。

Ⅲ.完形填空
【语篇解读】 本文记叙了作者在处理儿子旧玩具的过程中儿子的表现。当儿子发现自己喜爱的自行车被送给另一个孩子时，儿子非常高兴，甚至比作者告诉他卖玩具赚了多少钱时更加高兴，说明儿子是一个非常有爱心的人。
1．答案与解析：A 根据后文可知，“我”打算把不再适合自己七岁儿子玩的一些玩具处理掉，这是“清理(clean)”儿子房间的一个好机会。
2．答案与解析：D 根据语境可知，作者想“处理(deal
with)”一些不再适合儿子玩的玩具。
3．答案与解析：B 根据最后一段中“when
I
told...he
had
made”可知，“我”和儿子达成一致意见，即卖玩具的钱全部归他所有，agree
that...“对……取得一致意见”为固定句型。
4．答案与解析：B 根据常识可知，儿子长大了，他的自行车对他来说已经太“小(small)”了。
5．答案与解析：A 根据空后的“for
the
last
time”可知，这是儿子最后一次在院子里骑他的小自行车。ride
the
bike“骑车”为固定短语。
6．答案与解析：B 句意：据我们所知，这辆小自行车此前至少有两任主人。as
far
as
we
know是固定短语，意为“据我们所知”。
7．答案与解析：D 根据“at
least
two
previous
owners”以及下文提到的“was
certainly
not
new”可推知，它并不是完好无损的。in
good
shape为固定短语，意为“状况良好”。
8．答案与解析：D 根据上文可知，这辆小自行车没有卖掉；再根据下文中的“my
friend
put
it
on
the
sidewalk”可知朋友把它放在了人行道上。故可推测此处是指售卖结束。故选D。
9．答案与解析：A 分析句子结构可知，that引导的是定语从句，修饰a
sign，故定语从句中的谓语动词应用said，意为“写着”。
10．答案与解析：B 小男孩是为自行车来的，所以按响铃后，他应该是“站(standing)”在车旁。
11．答案与解析：D “我们”告诉小男孩自行车确实是免费的。for
nothing与for
free同义。
12．答案与解析：C 根据空格后的信息shouting
happily可以推断，儿子很“激动(excited)”。
13．答案与解析：B 根据上文中的“He
asked
about
a
few
of
his
things”及语境可以推断，儿子想知道“是否(if)”所有的旧玩具都已卖掉。
14．答案与解析：D 此处表示“我”告诉儿子他已经赚到了多少钱。make
money是固定短语，意为“赚钱”。
15．答案与解析：C 根据上文可知，小男孩骑走了儿子的小自行车，故可推知，这里是说还有别人愿意继续好好“使用(
use)”他的自行车。
Ⅳ.语法填空
【语篇解读】 这是一篇议论文，针对网上的流行语“佛系”，作者强调我们应该保持平静的心态，但不要停止努力。
1．答案与解析：the 考查冠词。the
young表示“年轻人”，“the＋形容词”表示“一类人或事物”。
2．答案与解析：peaceful 考查形容词。该空与calm并列，作remain的表语，因此用形容词。
3．答案与解析：was
created 考查时态和语态。依据句中的时间状语in
2014可知，此处用一般过去时，且word与create是被动关系，因此用一般过去时的被动语态。
4．答案与解析：being
disturbed 考查非谓语动词。disturb与句子的主语They是逻辑上的动宾关系，且空处作介词without的宾语，因此用动词?ing形式的被动式。
5．答案与解析：under 考查介词。此处表示”在这个快速变化和竞争激烈的世界里，许多人承受着巨大的压力”。故填under。
6．答案与解析：which/that 考查定语从句。空处引导定语从句，修饰phrase，从句中缺少主语，因此用which/that引导。
7．答案与解析：are
losing 考查时态。结合上下文可知，此处作者在描述目前存在的状况，故应用现在进行时。
8．答案与解析：to
keep 考查非谓语动词。动词短语pretend
to
do...表示“假装做……”。
9．答案与解析：failure 考查名词。此处表示他们假装对失败保持健康、明智的态度，仅仅是因为他们没有能力成功。an
attitude
towards＋名词“对……的态度”，故答案为failure。
10．答案与解析：basically 考查副词。空处修饰动词短语keep...in
mind，应用副词，故填basically。

Dogs
are
our
best
friends.
That's
especially
true
after
a
disaster,
such
as
an
earthquake.
When
buildings
fall
down,
search?and?rescue
dogs
help
find
trapped
people.
Dogs'
amazing
noses
can
pick
up
the
smell
of
survivors.
Now
scientists
have
developed
an
electronic
tool
that
does
the
same
thing.
It's
taking
smell
detection
(探测)
to
a
whole
new
level.
The
new
invention
is
a
sort
of
electronic
nose,
which
can
detect
extremely
low
levels
of
many
compounds
(化合物)
from
people's
skin.
This
isn't
the
first
time
engineers
have
developed
such
an
object.
Earlier
models,
however,
have
been
bulky
and
expensive.
They
could
not
detect
low
levels
of
target
compounds
either.
The
new
one
is
inexpensive
and
small
enough
to
fit
inside
hand?held
equipment.
The
electronic
nose
can
detect
extremely
slight
smell
of
more
than
one
compound
at
the
same
time.
“Being
able
to
do
this,
in
such
a
small
object,
is
the
significant
discovery，”
says
Sotiris
E.
Pratsinis,
Professor
of
Process
Engineering
&
Materials
Science
at
the
Swiss
Federal
Institute
of
Technology
in
Zurich.
His
team
tested
it
in
special
spaces.
They
were
like
the
small
spaces
where
people
might
be
trapped.
Chemicals
given
off
by
the
volunteers
built
up
inside.
The
electronic
equipment
detected
those
compounds
at
unbelievably
low
levels.
The
results
were
good
news
for
the
research
team.
But
they
may
be
not
for
our
four?legged
friends,
who
could
soon
be
out
of
a
job.
“Ideally,
this
technology
could
replace
search?and?rescue
dogs，”
Pratsinis
says.
Stephen
Taylor,
an
electrical
engineer,
agrees
that
the
new
technology
has
some
benefits
over
dogs.
Still,
he
thinks
it
may
be
too
soon
to
have
our
trusty
friends
retire.
He
suspects,
“I
foresee
that
such
an
object
could
add
to
the
fine
work
done
by
the
dogs.”
Taylor
also
pointed
out
some
potential
limitations
of
the
new
invention.
“E?noses
are
useful,
but
can
be
very
likely
to
be
affected
by
unstable
readings
and
interruption，”
he
says.
1．Why
does
the
author
talk
about
dogs
at
the
beginning？A.To
catch
the
readers'
attention.
B．To
introduce
the
topic
about
e?noses.
C．To
show
what
search?and?rescue
dogs
do.
D．To
add
background
information
for
discussion.

of
the
following
best

A．Complex.
B．Fragile.
C．Handy.
D．Large.
3．What
is
Paragraph
3
mainly
about?
A．What
e?noses'
working
principle
is.
B．How
e?noses
are
made.
C．What
differences
between
dogs
and
e?noses
are.
D．How
powerful
e?noses
are.
4．What
does
Stephen
Taylor
mean?
A．Dogs
and
e?noses
could
work
together.
B．Search?and?rescue
dogs
will
retire
soon.
C．E?noses
are
more
reliable
than
noses
of
dogs.
D．Dogs
are
better
at
finding

A
young
girl
is
smiling
at
me
from
a
picture
frame
on
my
desk
as
I
write
this.
She
is
my
child
I
once
sponsored
from
the
Philippines.
Even
though
I
have
never
met
her
in
person,
she
has
found
a
__1__
place
in
my
heart.
It
doesn't
__2__
me
much
to
help
her,
about
a
dollar
a
day.
Yet,
millions
of
people
in
this
world
live
on
less.
The
__3__
that
helping
her
gives
me,
however,
is
beyond
__4__.
It
connects
me
to
her,
to
life,
and
to
love.
I
can
still
__5__
the
first
time
that
I
decided
to
help
a
child
overseas.
It
was
many
years
ago.
I
was
only
a
teenager
myself
and
had
a
little
extra
__6__
each
month.
I
didn't
feel
like
__7__
anything,
though.
We
had
__8__
everything
we
had
in
a
house
fire
a
few
years
before.
Going
through
that
had
taught
me
a
lot.
I
had
learned
that
I
didn't
need
a
lot
of
“stuff”
to
be
__9__.
I
had
also
read
a
lot
about
the
__10__
of
children
in
poor
countries
around
the
world.
It
seemed
like
a
far
better
thing
then
to
give
what
I
could
to
help
them.
With
my
Mom's
love
and
__11__，
I
soon
found
a
few
organizations
like
Children
International
that
were
__12__
others
around
the
world.
It
felt
so
good
being
able
to
reach
out
and
help
another
in
need.
It
felt
so
good
being
able
to
make
even
one
life
better.
I
could
feel
the
compassion
and
__13__
growing
within
me
and
beginning
to
change
me.
Empathy
(共鸣)
does
change
us.
It
helps
us
to
__14__，
to
be
kind,
and
to
make
this
world
a
__15__
place.

IOT
(The

huge
innovation
(革新)
in
the
way
our
food
is
grown.
Plants
will
have
a
“voice”，
not
a
human
voice,
but
a
voice
based
on
data
that
can
tell
people,
computers,
and
machines
when,
for
example,
they
are
thirsty,
or
need
more
sun,
medicine,
etc.
Take
vertical
(垂直的)
farms,
for
example.
Farming
is
moving
indoors
where
the
growth
of
plants
can
be
monitored
and
controlled.
The
facilities
are
built
vertically,
so
growing
areas
can
be
put
in
piles.
This
greatly
reduces
the
amount
of
land
needed
for
farming.
From
an
IOT
point
of
view,
vertical
farms
are
connected
in
two
ways.
First,
small
sensors
(传感器)
in
the
soil
or
connected
to
plants
tell
a
control
system
exactly
how
much
light,
water,
and
nutrients
are
needed
to
grow
the
healthiest
crops.
Sensors
will
also
tell
vertical
farmers
when
crops
are
nearing
their
peak
for
harvesting
at
just
the
right
time
to
make
sure
that
they
are
still
fresh
when
they
reach
their
final
destination.
Second,
vertical
farms
will
be
connected
to
other
networks
and
information
systems,
including
databases
that
track
the
local
demand.
For
example,
local
restaurants
may
input
when
they
need
fresh
food
supplies.
And
vertical
farmers
could
get
that
information
so
they
know
which
crops
to
grow
in
what
quantities.
This
type
of
IOT
system
would
have
been
unimaginable
a
generation
ago.
Today,
vertical
farms
are
being
experimented.
Yet,
the
numbers
point
to
a
bright
future
for
the
industry,
especially
as
the
world's
population
continues
to
grow.
For
example,
Green
Sense
Farms
in
Chicago
is
able
to
harvest
crops
26
times
a
year
using
85
percent
less
energy,
one?tenth
the
water,
and
no
pesticides.
A
side
benefit
of
lower
energy
use
is
lower
CO2
output
of
two
tons
per
month,
with
the
added
benefit
of
creating
46
pounds
of
oxygen
every
day.
5．How
do
sensors
attached
to
plants
work?
A．By
recording
farmers
harvesting
crops.
B．By
monitoring
farmers
working
their
fields.
C．By
analyzing
information
to
preserve
crops.
D．By
passing
information
to
a
control
system.
6．According
to
Paragraph
4,
what
can
the
IOT
system
do?
A．Helping
expand
the
output
of
crops.
B．Helping
match
supply
with
demand.
C．Helping
determine
the
needs
of
farmers.
D．Helping
move
restaurants
onto
farms.
7．What
is
the
author's
attitude
towards
the
future
of
vertical
farming?
A．Negative.
B．Indifferent.
C．Optimistic.
D．Doubtful.
8．What
is
the
main
idea
of
the
text?
A．Voice
machines
help
plants
speak
up.
B．Farmers
are
all
turning
to
vertical
farming.
C．IOT
has
brought
great
innovation
to
our
future
life.
D．Vertical
farms
driven
by
IOT
are
a
future
for
agriculture.
Ⅱ.七选五
Imagine
an
area
34
times
the
size
of
Manhattan.
Now
imagine
it
covered
ankle?deep
in
plastic
waste—a
total
of
about
19
billion
pounds
of
garbage.
__1__.
“We're
being
overwhelmed
(淹没)
by
our
waste，”
said
Jenna
Jambeck,
an
environmental
engineer
who
led
the
2015
study
that
determined
this
astonishing
number.
__2__，
unless
something
is
done
to
stop
the
tide
of
garbage.
Plastic—a
widely?used
material—has
in
many
ways
been
a
benefit
to
humans
but
it
has
also
caused
a
growing
problem.
Today,
plastics
are
the
No.
1
type
of
garbage
found
in
the
sea.
Ocean
Conservancy,
a
non?profit
environmental
advocacy
group
that
organises
an
annual
coastal
cleanup
event
worldwide,
said
plastic
waste
makes
up
around
85
percent
of
the
garbage
collected
from
beaches
and
oceans.
Ocean
Conservancy
says
plastics
are
believed
to
threaten
(威胁)
at
least
600
different
wildlife
species
(物种).
__3__；
a
growing
body
of
evidence
suggests
humans
are
consuming
plastics
through
the
seafood
we
eat.
Research
suggests
some
plastics
could
be
poisonous
to
humans,
and
could
potentially
increase
the
risk
of
health
problems.
__4__.
At
the
Economist
World
Ocean
Summit
this
week,
ten
nations
announced
to
reduce
plastic
sea
litter
as
part
of
UN
Environment's
Clean
Seas
campaign.
__5__.
Corporations
also
have
a
role,
as
do
individuals.
We
can
start
by
thinking
twice
before
using
single?use
plastic
products—and
when
we
do
use
them,
we
should
take
care
to
properly
throw
them
off
or
recycle.
A．The
following
is
what
we
should
do
B．And
it's
not
just
wildlife
that's
threatened
C．And
this
figure
is
likely
to
double
by
2025
D．But
it's
not
just
countries
that
need
to
do
their
part
E．By
2050,
that
figure
is
expected
to
rise
to
1,000
pieces
F．That's
how
much
plastic
waste
ends
up
in
our
oceans
every
year
G．All
of
us
have
an
important
role
to
play
in
dealing
with
the
problems
Ⅲ.语法填空
Smartphones
and
e?readers
have
become
more
common
in
recent
years.
However,
paper
books
still
have
a
key
role
1.________
(play).
In
the
UK,
the
sales
of
e?books
are
falling
2.________
those
of
traditional
books
are
rising.
More
surprisingly,
it's
young
people
who
are
buying
paper
books.
What
is
behind
the
comeback
of
the
paper
book?
First,
readers
like
to
hold
the
product.
It's
true
that
paper
books
offer
3.________
unique
reading
experience.
Japanese
students
even
said
that
they
like
the
smell
of
paper
books.
Other
students
said
that
they
get
a
sense
of
4.________
(achieve)
when
they
finish
reading
a
paper
book
and
they
enjoy
seeing
it
5.________
the
bookshelf.
Besides,
paper
books
can
also
be
personal
objects
to
lovers
of
reading,
many
of
6.________
like
to
sign
their
names
on
the
inside
cover.
If
the
cover
gets
bent
or
there's
a
stain
(污点)
7.________
(make)
on
the
pages
from
coffee
or
food,
all
the
better.
Such
8.________
(incident)
make
the
book
more
like
a
personal
friend
to
them.
Amazing
as
it
seems,
research
has
shown
readers
remember
more
information
when
reading
from
paper
books
than
e?books.
Meanwhile,
people
are
more
likely
to
have
9.________
(pain)
eyes
or
headaches
after
reading
e?books
long.
Therefore
paper
books,
which
10.________
(be)
in
production
since
the
15th
century,
still
have
an
attraction.
