Museum's
Hands?on
Learning
Service
During
the
past
100
years,
Reading
Museum
has
always
been
offering
learning
opportunities
to
schools,
and
we
hope
to
continue
this
tradition

the
next
100
years
with
your
support.
Victorian
Schoolroom
The
session
takes
place
in
a
grand
reconstruction
of
a
schoolroom
in
a
late
nineteenth
century
Board
School.
The
children
will
experience
a
wide
range
of
Victorian
style
lessons
and
use
slate
boards
and
dip
pens.
The
session
leader
will
play
the
role
of
a
Victorian
teacher
but
will
come
out
of
the
role
during
the
session
to
comfort
the
children.
We
provide
costume
for
all
children.
Victorian
Toys
Our
Victorian
nanny
delivers
this
interesting
session.
The
nanny
will
help
children
to
explore
the
differences
between
rich
and
poor
children's
toys
from
the
past.
During
the
session
the
children
have
the

take
home.
Victorian
Christmas
In
a
specially
decorated
room
the
children
will
find
out
how
the
Victorians
introduced
many

B
What
would
you
do
if
you
could
see
into
the
future?
And
more
importantly,
what
would
you
do
if
you
weren't
happy
with
what
you
saw?
These
are
the
questions
explored
in
Disney's
new
movie,Tomorrowland.
Tomorrowland
tells
the
story
of
a
wide?eyed
dreamer
named
Casey
as
she
follows
her
curiosity
down
a
path
of
adventure
and
danger.
When
a
strange
sign
shows
an
alternate(交替的)
reality,
Casey
begins
a
magical
journey
into
another
world.
As
she
struggles
to
make_sense_of
this
new
world,
Casey
meets
a
scientist
named
Frank.
Together
they
carry
out
a
task
to
uncover
the
mysteries
of
a
land
that
exists
between
time
and
space:Tomorrowland.
According
to
Britt
Robertson,
the
entire
movie
has
been
filled
with
secrecy.
In
fact,
she
had
to
audition(试镜)
many
times
for
the
part
of
Casey
before
she
was
even
allowed
to
read
the
script(剧本)
.
Robertson
says
that
being
a
part
of
Tomorrowland
has
given
her
a
more
positive
outlook
on
the
future.
“I
always
think
about
going
green
and
trying
to
help
the
world
with
things
I
can
do,”
she
told
TFK.
“I
think
the
greatest
things
we
can
do
to
help
are
simple
things.
The
small
stuff
counts.”
Robertson
auditioned
for
it
for
a
very
long
time
before
she
even
read
the
script.
Once
she
read
the
script,
she
just
loved
how
full
the
story
was.
She
was
satisfied
by
it.
She
felt
happy,
like
she
had
just
been
on
an
adventurous
ride.
She
was
also
sad,
joyful,
and
hopeful.
She
felt
a
mix
of
emotions
after
reading
the
script
and
it
really
got
her
thinking
and
it
made
her
want
to
be
a
more
positive
person.
She
was
very
happy
when
she
found
out
she
got
the
role.
It
felt
like
all
her
hard
work
paid
off.

B.She
is
the
author
of
the
story.
C.She

feeling
C.felt
successful
D.went
on
a
magical
journey
【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了迪士尼影片《明日世界》,
影片中的大眼睛姑娘给观众留下了深刻的印象,
她就是Casey的扮演者Britt
Robertson。
4.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中“she
had
to
audition
many
times
for
the
part
of
Casey”和第四段的“when
she
found
out
she
got
the
role”可知,
她在影片中扮演Casey。
5.B 词义猜测题。根据第二段的最后一句可知,
他们两人执行了一项任务,共同揭开存在于时间和宇宙之间的未来世界的秘密,
该短语的意思为“了解;弄懂”,
所以选B项。
6.A 推理判断题。根据第三段中“…being
a
part
of
Tomorrowland
has
given
her
a
more
positive
outlook
on
the
future”可知,
演这部电影使她更积极地看待未来。
7.B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“She
felt
a
mix
of
emotions
after
reading
the
script…”可知,
B项中的“a
mixed
feeling”与此相符。
C
The
world's
insects
are
going
down
the
path
of
extinction,
threatening
a
“catastrophic
collapse
of
nature's
ecosystems”,
according
to
the
first
global
scientific
review.
More
than
40%
of
insect
species
are
declining
and
a
third
are
endangered,
the
analysis
found.
The
rate
of
extinction
is
eight
times
faster
than
that
of
mammals,
birds
and
reptiles.
“It
should
be
of
huge
concern
to
all
of
us,
for
insects
are
at
the
heart
of
every
food
web.
They
pollinate(授粉)
the
large
majority
of
plant
species,
keep
the
soil
healthy,
recycle
nutrients,
control
pests,
and
much
more.
Love
them
or
loathe
them,
we
humans
cannot
survive
without
insects,”said
Prof
Dave
Goulson
at
the
University
of
Sussex
in
the
UK.
The
analysis,
published
in
the
journal
Biological
Conservation,
says
intensive(集约型)
agriculture
is
the
main
driver
of
the
declines,
particularly
the
heavy
use
of
pesticides.
Urbanisation
and
climate
change
are
also
significant
factors.
“If
insect
species
losses
cannot
be
stopped,
this
will
have
catastrophic
consequences
for
both
the
planet's
ecosystems
and
for
the
survival
of
mankind.
It
is
very
rapid.
In
10
years
you
will
have
a
quarter
less,
in
50
years
only
half
left
and
in
100
years
you
will
have
none,”
said
review
author
Francisco
Sánchez?Bayo,
at
the
University
of
Sydney,
Australia.
One
of
the
biggest
impacts
of
insect
loss
is
on
many
birds,
reptiles,
amphibians
and
fish
that
eat
insects.
“If
this
food
source
is
taken
away,
all
these
animals
starve
to
death,”
he
said.
Such
effects
have
already
been
seen
in
Puerto
Rico,
where
a
recent
study
revealed
a
98%
fall
in
ground
insects
over
35
years.
Matt
Shardlow,
at
the
conservation
charity
Buglife,
said:
“It
is
thoughtful
to
see
this
evidence
that
shows
the
pitiful
state
of
the
world's
insect
populations.
It
is
increasingly
obvious
that
the
planet's
ecology
is
breaking
and
there
is
a
need
for
a
strong
and
global
effort
to
prevent
and
change
these
terrible
trends.”
8.Why
are
people
worried
about
the
insect
decline?
A.They
are
vital
to
ecosystems.
B.They
provide
food
for
pests.
C.They
pollinate
all
plants.
D.They
enrich
the
soil.
9.What
is
the
main
cause
of
insect
losses?
A.More
and
more
trees.
B.Restrictions
on
pesticides.
C.Upgrading
agriculture.
D.Friendly
environment.
10.Where
can
you
find
the
exact
time
of
insect
losses?
A.In
Paragraph
1.
B.In
Paragraph
2.
C.In
Paragraph
3.
D.In
Paragraph
4.
11.What
can
be
a
suitable
title
for
the
text?
A.Humans
can
survive
the
punishment
of
nature
B.Insect
declining
is
breaking
nature's
ecosystems
C.Nature's
ecosystems
are
influenced
by
humans
D.Insects
and
animals
are
dying
out
in
Puerto
Rico
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是昆虫数量的减少对自然生态系统的危害。
8.A 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The
world's
insects
are
going
down
the
path
of
extinction,
threatening
a
‘catastrophic
collapse
of
nature's
ecosystems’…”可知,
人们之所以担心昆虫数量的减少,
是因为它们对生态系统至关重要。
9.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The
analysis,
published
in
the
journal
Biological
Conservation,
says
intensive
agriculture
is
the
main
driver
of
the
declines,
particularly
the
heavy
use
of
pesticides.”可知,
发表在《生物保护》杂志上的分析说集约农业是昆虫数量下降的主要驱动力,
尤其是大量使用农药。
10.D 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In
10
years
you
will
have
a
quarter
less,
in
50
years
only
half
left
and
in
100
years
you
will
have
none…”可知,
在第四段中可以找到昆虫减少的确切时间。
11.B 主旨大意题。最后一段中提到“看到这些显示世界昆虫种群的可怜状态的证据是发人深思的。越来越明显的是,
地球的生态正受到破坏,
为了预防和改变这些可怕的趋势,
需要一个强大和全球的努力”。由此推知,
本文最佳主题是“Insect
declining
is
breaking
nature's
ecosystems(昆虫数量的减少正在破坏自然生态系统)”。
D
Studies
have
shown
most
people
fail
to
realize
how
much
time
they
spend
on
their
smart
phones
each
day.
Frank
and
Amelia's
family
were
put
to
a
test,
using
a
free
app
called
“Moment?screen
Time
Tracker”.
The
Vascellaros
—
Frank,
Amelia,
14?year?old
twins
Frankie
and
Joe,
and
17?year?old
Sam
—
all
said
they
did
not
really
know
they
were
spending
so
much
time
on
their
phones
each
day.
“Honestly,
I
don't
feel
like
I'm
on
my
phone
a
lot,”
Amelia
Vascellaro
said.
Amelia
was
on
her
phone
far
less
often
than
Frank,
according
to
the
app.
While
Amelia
spent
about
an
hour
per
day
on
the
phone,
Frank
spent
close
to
four
hours
on
his
phone
—
which
came
as
a
shock
to
him.
The
children's
times
varied
but
they
often
spent
more
than
a
couple
of
hours
on
the
phone
as
well.
Minneapolis?based
Dr
Kirsten
Lind
Seal
sees
phone
usage
come
up
a
lot
among
families.
Lind
Seal
said
many
family
members'
phone
use
has
become
problematic.
“If
we
hear
more
than
once,
‘Do
you
have
to
be
on
your
phone
right
now?
Can
you
please
put
your
phone
down?
Did
you
hear
what
I
said?
'
it
may
be
a
sign
that
it
is
negatively
influencing
our
family
relationships
and
our
daily
lives,”
she
said.
Lind
Seal
said
actually
paying
attention
to
how
much
time
one
spends
on
the
phone
is
a
good
first
step
in
deciding
when
to
put
it
down.
She
asks
parents
to
encourage
more
face?to?face
communication
for
teens
and
young
adults
as
they
continue
developing
their
social
and
emotional
skills.
“What
we
find
is
that
we
are
really
losing
out
on
empathy
—
the
ability
to
understand
other
people's
feelings
and
problems
—
when
we
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
our
smart
phones
to
communicate
with
other
people,”
she
said.
12.How
did
the
families
tested
by
the
app
feel
about
the
test
results?
A.Satisfied.
B.Doubtful.
C.Uninterested.
D.Astonished.
13.Why
did
Lind
Seal
mention
the
three
questions
in
Paragraph
5?
A.To
encourage
people
to
live
a
simple
life.
B.To
explain
the
signs
of
problematic
phone
use.
C.To
show
the
importance
of
close
relationships.
D.To
ask
people
if
they
use
phones
too
much.
14.What
did
Lind
Seal
want
to
convey
in
the
last
paragraph?
A.We
should
make
more
face?to?face
communication.
B.We
can
understand
each
other
better
using
smartphones.
C.Our
ability
of
empathy
is
strengthened
by
smartphones.
D.Smartphone
usage
improves
the
teens'
emotional
skills.
15.Where
is
this
text
most
likely
from?
A.A
diary.
B.A
guidebook.
C.A
novel.
D.A
magazine.
【语篇解读】本文是议论文。通过使用一款应用软件跟踪发现,
很多人没有意识到自己每天花费很多时间使用手机。文章建议人们放下手机,
应该进行更多的面对面的交流。
12.D 推理判断题。根据第二段中“all
said
they
did
not
really
know
they
were
spending
so
much
time
on
their
phones
each
day.”可知,
Vascellaro一家对这个测试结果感到惊讶,
他们没有想到自己每天花费那么多的时间使用手机。
13.B 推理判断题。由第四段中“Lind
Seal
said
many
family
members'
phone
use
has
become
problematic.”可知,
Lind
Seal提出这三个问题是为了解释我们过多使用手机。
14.A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“She
asks
parents
to
encourage
more
face?to?face
communication
for
teens
and
young
adults
as
they
continue
developing
their
social
and
emotional
skills.”和引述的话可知,
我们应该多进行面对面的交流。
15.D 材料来源题。通读全文,
本文从一项研究入手,
讲述人们对手机的依赖,
最后建议人们应该进行更多的面对面的交流,
故此篇文章最有可能来自杂志。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,
满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,
从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Futurologists
are
making
a
lot
of
predictions
about
our
future
life.__16__
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.__17__
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.
__18__
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
in
Dubai,
measures
829.8
metres
high.__19__
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
being
by
2048
as
the
space
industry
develops
very
quickly.
There
is
a
huge
cost
advantage
going
to
space
from
as
high
a
base
as
possible.__20__
A.As
cities
are
being
very
crowded,
B.As
a
result,
there
will
be
no
switches.
C.As
the
future
building
can
rise
through
the
clouds,
D.As
architects
are
racing
to
develop
the
world's
tallest
buildings,
E.They
are
predicting
how
we
will
travel,
work
and
live
in
the
next
30
years.
F.Therefore,
a
spaceport
is
very
likely
to
be
over
10km,
using
carbon?based
materials.
G.What
is
more
likely,
though,
is
that
planes
will
become
smarter
and
may
even
become
autonomous.
【语篇解读】未来学家们正在对我们的未来生活做很多预测,
他们预测未来30年我们将如何旅行、工作和生活。
16.E 根据上文提到的“未来学家们正在对我们的未来生活做很多预测”可知,
E项“他们预测未来30年我们将如何旅行、工作和生活”可承接上文。
17.B 根据上文的“will
be
able
to
‘talk’
to
people…when
the
heating
needs
to
be
turned
on”可知,
B项是上文的结果。
18.D 根据下文的“there
will
be
a
need
for
new
kinds
of
elevators…”可知,
D项可作为过渡,
引出下文。
19.C 根据下文的“their
windows”可知,
上文应该提到高楼,
所以选C项。D项虽提到“the
world's
tallest
buildings”,
但是和下文无法衔接。
20.F 本段提到“a
London
Spaceport”,
F项和上文构成因果关系,
而且Spaceport为同词复现。

When
Heather
McHugh,
a
poet,
won
a$500,
000
“genius
grant”
from
the
MacArthur
Foundation,
she
didn't
buy
a
luxurious
car
or
fly
to
Paris.__21__,
she
put
the
money
in
the
bank
and
__22__
writing
poems.
In
2011,
she
finally
__23__
what
to
do
with
it.
That
year,
Heather's
godson
and
his
wife
__24__
their
first
child,
a
beautiful
baby
girl
but
severely
disabled.
“I
saw
how
people's
__25__
can
change
overnight.
I
started
thinking
about
people
in
a
__26__
situation,”
says
Heather.
She
__27__
there
were
millions
of
caregivers
taking
care
of
the
chronically
(慢性地)
ill
or
disabled.
So
in
2012,
Heather
__28__
a
non?profit
organization
offering
a
seven?day
vacation,
with
all
__29__
paid,
to
people
who
have
been
caregivers
for
at
least
ten
years.
Tricia
was
one
of
the
first
caregivers
to
go
on
vacation.
When
Tricia
got
a
call
saying
she
was
offered
a
__30__
vacation,
she
couldn't
believe
it;
disbelief
even
defeated
her
concern
about
leaving
her
two
kids.
Tricia
went,
and
her
favourite
parts
of
the
trip
were
to
enjoy
the
__31__
things.
“I
got
to
eat
hot
food
hot
and
cold
food
cold.
I
could
go
to
bed
when
I
wanted
to
and
wake
up
whenever
I
chose
to,”
says
Tricia.
She
was
afraid
the
__32__
would
return
when
the
__33__
was
over,
but
to
her
surprise,
it
hasn't
been
back
since.
Heather
says
Tricia's
__34__
resembles
those
of
the
other
ten
caregivers
she
helps
every
year.
“Before
the
vacation
they
are
so
stressed,
but
the
changing
is
so
amazing.
They
reflect
and
relax.
It
feels
__35__
like
another
world
and
gives
them
a
chance
to
see
their
lives
from
another
angle,”
she
adds.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述Heather
McHugh利用自己的五十万美元奖金建立了一个非营利组织,
为照顾慢性病患者和残疾人的护理员提供免费休假,
让她们到新的环境中,
从不一样的角度来看待她们的人生。
21.C 根据文章首句可知,
在获得了五十万美元的奖金后,
她并没有购买豪车或去巴黎(旅游),
反而(Instead),
她将这些钱存入银行。
22.A 根据句意:她(这位诗人)获奖后,
将奖金存进银行,
继续(continued)写诗。
23.D 根据下文中的“Heather
__28__
a
non?profit
organization
offering
a
seven?day
vacation”可知,
此处表示在2011年,
她终于决定(decided)如何使用这笔钱。
24.B Heather的教子和他的妻子迎来了他们的第一个孩子,
那是一个漂亮的女婴,
但是有严重的残疾。welcome“迎接”,
符合语境。
25.C 根据语境,
并结合上文中提到的Heather的教育孩子和他的妻子生下了一个残疾的女婴可知,
Heather看到了人的生活(lives)是如何在一夜之间发生改变的。
26.B 根据上文提到的Heather的教子和他的妻子生下了一个残疾女婴,并且Heather看到了人的生活是如何在一夜之间发生改变的可知,Heather开始关注那些有相似(similar)境遇的人。
27.A 她发现(discovered)有数百万照顾慢性病患者和残疾人的护理员。
28.D 因此Heather在2012年建立了一个非营利组织,
为那些当护理员至少十年的人提供七天免费休假。
29.C 参见上题。expense“花费”,
符合语境。tax
“税”;salary
“薪水”;rent
“租金”。
30.A 根据上文提到的“all
expenses
paid
”可知,
自然是免费的(free)休假。
31.D 根据空后的“I
got
to
eat
hot
food
hot
and
cold
food
cold.
I
could
go
to
bed
when
I
wanted
to
and
wake
up
whenever
I
chose
to…”可知,
Tricia在度假时所做的事情都是很普通、很简单的(simple)事情。
32.A 根据上文可知,
Tricia是一个护理员,
平时的工作都是照顾病人,
生活少有放松的时候,
故heaviness“沉闷”符合语境。
33.C 根据第四段第一句“Tricia
was
one
of
the
first
caregivers
to
go
on
vacation.”可知选C项符合语境。
34.B 上文讲述的是Tricia享受免费休假的故事,
故B项story
“故事”符合语境。
35.C 这感觉非常神奇(magically),
就像是另外一个世界,
并且给了她们一个从另一个角度(angle)看待她们的生活的机会。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,
根据其内容写一篇内容概要。
For
many
years
there's
been
a
debate
about
rewarding
children.
Does
it
work?
Some
people
think
parents
should
establish
a
standard
with
kids
and
give
them
something
for
meeting
this
standard
as
a
reward.
Punishment
is
given
out
in
much
the
same
way,
but
it's
used
when
certain
standards
of
performance
or
behavior
have
not
been
met.
Kids
will
often
become
more
dutiful
when
threatened
with
punishment,
and
work
harder
when
promised
a
valuable
reward.
The
problem
is
what
happens
when
parents
aren't
around.
To
develop
responsible,
self?disciplined
(自律的)
kids,
parents
need
to
promote
certain
ideas.
One
of
these
ideas
is
that
everyone
engages
and
helps
in
the
family,
even
if
someone
is
not
crazy
about
helping.
Another
idea
is
that
there
can
be
enjoyment
in
doing
any
task.
When
a
task
is
for
a
worthy
cause
(our
family
can
enjoy
the
house
more
because
I
helped
clean
it),
and
when
parents
are
cheerful
about
their
kids'
chores,
this
message
can
have
a
big
impact.
This
is
how
parents
help
kids
develop
a
sense
of
responsibility.
When
children
develop
this
responsibility,
they'll
be
more
disciplined,
and
they'll
control
their
emotions
better.
When
parents
give
rewards
to
kids,
they
reduce
the
sense
of
responsibility.
They
also
create
children
who
may
temporarily
perform
to
a
certain
standard,
but
who
aren't
likely
to
continue
the
performance
without
the
carrot
hanging
in
front
of
them.
“Rewards
and
punishments
can
change
behavior
for
a
while,
but
they
cannot
change
the
person
who
engages
in
the
behavior,
at
least
in
the
way
we
want,
”
said
Alfie
Kohn,
author
of
Punished
by
Rewards.
“Good
values
have
to
be
grown
from
the
inside
out.
”
Parents
can
help
give
their
children
a
sense
of
shared
responsibility
and
discipline
which
can
last
a
lifetime.
The
real
rewards
that
children
receive
will
be
their
readiness
for
the
complex
and
demanding
world
that
waits
for
them
—
a
world
that
rewards
those
who
have
learned
the
secrets
of
discipline
and
responsibility.
注意:
1.概要词数应为60左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

【答案】One
possible
version:
Rewards
and
punishments
cannot
make
kids
behave
in
the
desired
way(要点1).
Instead,
parents
should
promote
the
idea
of
responsibility
among
their
children(要点2).
They
should
try
to
make
their
kids
see
that
certain
kinds
of
behavior
damage
the
family
while
other
kinds
of
behavior
make
family
life
satisfying
and
enjoyable(要点3).
Only
in
this
way
can
good
values
be
grown,
which
will
help
kids
become
responsible
adults(要点4).UNIT

Ⅰ.七选五
What
do
you
want
to
be
when
you
grow
up?
__1__
When
you
are
asked
the
question,
did
you
have
an
answer
at
the
ready,
or
did
you
need
a
few
minutes
to
think
about
it?
We
all
have
dreams
of
becoming
something
great,
like
a
fireman,
a
teacher,
or
a
rock
star.
Well,
how
did
you
do?
Maybe
you
never
desire
to
be
what
you
set
out
to
be
or
said
that
you
would
become.
__2__
The
older
we
get,
our
tastes
change,
our
view
of
the
world
changes,
even
our
goals
change.
One
of
the
most
important
lessons
I've
learned
during
my
career
path
is
to
do
something
you
love
to
do.
I
feel
that
if
you
enjoy
what
you
make
a
living
at,
you
end
up
being
happy
in
more
ways
than
one.
__3__
While
no
job
or
business
is
perfect,
the
important
thing
is
to
enjoy
it,
even
learn
from
it.
If
you
are
unhappy
in
your
current
situation,
why
not
take
steps
now
to
change
it?
__4__
If
you
are
already
there,
I
applaud
(鼓掌)
you.
If
not,
realize
that
it
may
take
some
time
to
figure
out
what
you
really
want
to
do,
and
even
more
time
to
actually
get
there.
That's
all
right!
I
can
tell
you
from
experience
that
finding
and
doing
what
you
love
are
absolutely
worth
it.
All
of
the
research,
training,
and
hands?on
experience
have
made
me
a
stronger,
happier
person.
__5__
You'll
be
happier
for
it.
Trust
me.
I
promise
you
will
never
look
back.
A.But
then
again,
things
change.
B.Do
what
you
love
and
love
what
you
do.
C.Life
itself
becomes
much
more
interesting
and
fun.
D.Perhaps
you've
been
asked
the
question
some
times.
E.You
must
have
met
with
such
situation
as
a
little
child.
F.Maybe
you
will
find
that
the
new
job
is
more
suitable
for
you.
G.Somewhere
out
there
is
a
job
or
business
that
is
perfect
for
you.

be
happier
for
it.(你会因此而快乐).”与B项

Ⅰ.七选五
The
man
who
could
see
the
future
The
ability
to
predict
the
future
is
a
rare
talent.
American
author
Isaac
Asimov
(1920—1992),
one
of
the
great
science
fiction
writers
of
his
age,
had
such
a
talent.__1__
Now
that
we're
here,
let's
see
what
he
got
right.
__2__
Asimov
thought
computers
would
cause
a
revolution
comparable
to
the
industrial
revolution
of
the
19th
century.
Specifically,
he
said
that
“mobile
computerized
objects”
would
be
an
important
part
of
everyday
life.
Here,
he
clearly
predicted
our
world
of
smartphones,
tablets
and
other
devices.
He
also
had
a
great
deal
to
say
about
space
exploration.
__3__
How
did
Asimov
develop
his
special
sense
of
future
developments?__4__
He
read
the
newspapers
and
magazines
sold
in
his
parents'
candy
store.
His
scientific
interest
gained
sharper
focus
at
Columbia
University
in
New
York.
Asimov
went
to
study
chemistry,
but
became
bored
with
pure
laboratory
science.
Instead,
he
thought
hard
about
the
social
implications(影响)
of
science.
He
wanted
to
communicate
his
ideas
to
the
public.
__5__
Asimov
had
his
finger
on
the
pulse(脉搏)
of
both
scientific
and
social
change.
He
had
a
clear
vision
of
what
was
coming
around
the
corner
for
humanity
in
his
works
like
Galactic
Empire
series(《银河帝国系列》).
“His
predictions
are
absolutely
fascinating,”
Calum
Chase,
an
English
writer,
told
BBC
News.
“He
was
a
genius.”
A.As
a
smart
boy,
Asimov
taught
himself
to
read
at
the
age
of
five.
B.Space
exploration
really
can
make
our
life
more
convenient
and
comfortable.
C.Back
in
1983,
he
was
asked
to
predict
what
the
world
would
look
like
in
2019.
D.On
the
role
that
computing
would
play
in
the
future,
he
was
amazingly
accurate.
E.Asimov
has
developed
a
great
interest
in
computer
programming
since
childhood.
F.As
an
author,
his
books
would
feature
the
theme
of
social
change
caused
by
technology.
G.The
International
Space
Station
proves
his
prediction
that
we
would
not
simply
visit
space
but
seek
to
stay
there.
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了科幻大师阿西莫夫和他的预言的准确性以及他是如何培养他对未来发展的特殊意识的。
1.C 上文提到“美国作家艾萨克·阿西莫夫是他那个时代最伟大的科幻作家之一,
他有这样一种天赋”;下文提到“让我们看看他预测对了什么”。由此可知,
空格处在本段中起承上启下的作用。故C选项“早在1983年,
他就被要求预测2019年的世界会是什么样子”承上启下。
2.D 根据“Asimov
thought
computers
would
cause
a
revolution
comparable
to
the
industrial
revolution
of
the
19th
century”可知,
阿西莫夫认为计算机将引发一场与19世纪工业革命相当的革命。D项“关于计算机在未来将所扮演的角色,
他惊人准确地预测到了”是说明他预测的计算机的结果,
与本段内容符合。
3.G 根据“He
also
had
a
great
deal
to
say
about
space
exploration”可知,
关于太空探索,
他也预测了。所以空格处要接着说他预言的结果。故G选项“国际空间站证明了他的预言,
我们不仅要拜访太空,
还要设法留在那里”与太空探索相关,
且是预测结果。
4.A 根据“He
read
the
newspapers
and
magazines
sold
in
his
parents'
candy
store”可知,
他读了父母糖果店出售的报纸和杂志。所以空格处要与下一句一起来说明阿西莫夫是如何培养他对未来发展的特殊意识的。故A选项“作为一个聪明的男孩,
阿西莫夫在五岁时就开始自学”承上启下。
5.F 阅读本段可知,
本段主要在说作为一名作家,
他的书以科技引起的社会变革为主题。
Ⅱ.读后续写
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。
Life
back
on
earth
It
is
7
a.m.
in
the
morning
and
the
alarm
reminds
me
once
again
to
prepare
for
the
school.
It
is
a
beautiful
day
with
clear
sky
and
lots
of
bright
sunshine.
But
I
don't
have
time
to
soak
into
this
because
my
school
vehicle
will
come
sharp
at
8
and
in
case
I
miss,
my
parent
will
give
me
a
beating.
So
better
run.
My
school
bus
just
took
off
and
drove
past
the
residential
towers.
It
takes
only
5
minutes
to
reach
the
school
where
each
of
us
will
have
designated
routines
to
follow
and
any
deviation
will
be
caught
on
CCTV
and
reported
back
to
my
parents
online
on
their
desk.
After
all,
it
is
the
year
2300.
Oh
yes!
We
are
the
4th
generation
people
living
on
Europa
in
a
habitable
space
which
has
been
created
specifically
for
us
by
man
in
the
22nd
century.
The
earth
became
dangerous
for
living
due
to
increasing
pollution
which
our
forefathers
created
and
hence
mankind
had
to
look
for
other
places
for
a
living.
All
over
the
world,
a
handful
of
people
were
selected
and
my
great
grandparents
traveled
all
the
way
to
this
place
to
continue
a
life.
It
is
12
and
lunch
time.
Today
we
were
served
some
delicious
cream
and
chocolates.
These
are
made
on
planet
Mars
these
days
and
brought
here
directly.
I
am
feeling
a
little
sleepy
but
my
robotic
teacher
won't
give
me
a
break
and
also
our
results
will
be
out
today.
I
am
feeling
a
little
tensed.
Oh
my
God!
I
have
come
first
in
my
class,
feeling
over
the
moon(or,
over
the
Europa)
.
And,
you
won't
believe
me—I
have
got
a
chance
to
visit
earth
along
with
others
on
a
day
trip.
I
am
so
excited
about
the
trip
and
my
parents
are
equally
so.
I
am
carrying
my
latest
camera
to
catch
every
moment
of
the
journey.
Finally
we
are
on
the
earth
after
the
4
hours'
journey
and
we
are
in
our
organo?synthetic
suit
to
protect
against
the
harmful
environment
where
once
mankind
took
their
first
breath.

There
are
still
some

spreading
across
the
globe
mostly
in
the
triangular
land
mass
(historians
say
it
Africa)and
I
am
very
eager
to
see
them
closely.
Upon
arrival,
we
found
ourselves
deep
in
hazy
atmosphere,
which,
as
my
robot
guide
tells
me,
is
the
result
of
air
pollution.
We
were
almost
out
of
breath,
so
we
had
to
look
for
some
places
where
we
could
breathe.
How
could
mankind
survive
here?
I
wondered.
Luckily,
we
escaped
and
landed
near
a
school,
where
some
crazy
kids
are
running
around
a
ball
on
an
open
ground,
shouting
“Goal,
Goal,
Goal”
all
the
time.
My
robot
guide
told
me
that
it
was
called
“Football”.
The
most
popular
game
on
the
earth?
I
thought
of
my
game
of
“Alien
Invasion”
which
is
more
exciting.
Then
we
continued
our
trip…
It
is
getting
darker
and
we
had
to
go
back.
While
back,
I
still
thought
about
the
air
pollution,
the
dirty
water,
the
bare
land
on
the
earth.
I
can't
understand
why
mankind
didn't
care
about
their
home.
Though
I
carried
my
camera,
I
took
few
pictures.
The
journey
to
the
earth
made
me
sad
for
those
who
live
in
that
place.UNIT

A
new
Magic
Bench
designed
by
Disney
Research
lets
you
interact
(互动)
with
lovely
animated
(动画的)
character—and
no
special
glasses
or
earphones
are
required.
Instead,
the
complete
environment—the
seat,
the
sitter
and
the
cartoon
characters—is
mirrored
on
a
screen
opposite
the
bench
making
it
possible
for
others
to
watch
the
scene
unfold.
How
does
the
illusion
work?
A
camera
and
sensor
catch
images
and
gather
depth
information
about
physical
objects—the
bench
and
the
person.
And
then
the
computer
translates
them
into
the
3D
animations.
Meanwhile
sensors
of
touch
built
into
the
bench
deliver
shaking
that
is
happening
at
the
same
time
and
speed
to
animated
actions
on
the
screen,
creating
the
illusion
that
the
animated
figures
are
occupying
real?world
space
next
to
the
user.
“Our
goal
for
this
project
was:
hear
a
character
coming,
see
them
enter
the
space,
and
feel
them
sit
next
to
you,
”
said
Moshe
Mahler,
principal
digital
artist
at
Disney
Research.
Unlike
the
traditional
mobile
technology,
one
of
whose
limitations
is
that
only
a
single
user
can
see
its
illusion,
the
Magic
Bench
allows
groups
of
people
to
gather
in
a
single
environment
and
collectively
participate
in
an
augmented?reality
(增强现实)
experience,
all
at
the
same
time.
In
a
video
show,
a
small
cartoon
donkey
runs
into
view
and
kicks
the
bench,
causing
sharp
sound
and
making
the
seated
person
jump
in
surprise.
Another
test
shows
two
people
on
the
bench,
reacting
as
they
feel
an
animated
rabbit
skip
up
beside
them
and
jump
up
and
down.
When
a
user
passes
his
hand
over
the
rabbit,
a
shadow
moves
across
its
head,
as
though
it
were
occupying
the
same
physical
space
as
the
person
next
to
it.
1.What
does
the
Magic
Bench
need
to
work
properly?
A.Special
glasses.
B.Earphones.
C.A
mirror.
D.A
screen.
2.What
does
the
underlined
word
“illusion”
in
Paragraph
2
refer
to?
A.The
shaking
that
is
happening.
B.The
3D
animations
on
the
screen.
C.The
figures
about
physical
objects.
D.The
interaction
with
animated
figures.
3.How's
the
Magic
Bench
different
from
the
traditional
technology?
A.Its
fantasy
can
be
seen
only
by
a
single
user.
B.It
is
designed
to
create
more
animated
characters.
C.It
allows
many
people
to
experience
the
fantasy
together.
D.Its
user
and
the
animated
character
occupy
the
same
space.
4.Which
is
the
best
title
of
the
text?
A.Magic
bench
puts
you
in
the
picture
B.Audience
become
cartoon
characters
C.Entertainment
industry
enters
a
new
stage
D.Disney's
cartoon
figures
come
into
reality
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。迪士尼公司设计出了一种新的“魔法椅”。坐上这种椅子不需要使用特殊眼镜或耳机,
在观看影视作品时,
画面可以与人互动。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句
“Instead,
the
complete
environment
—
the
seat,
the
sitter
and
the
cartoon
characters
—
is
mirrored
on
a
screen
opposite
the
bench
making
it
possible
for
others
to
watch
the
scene
unfold.”可知,
the
Magic
Bench需要一块屏幕才能正常发挥作用。
2.D 词义猜测题。根据下文
“A
camera
and
sensor
catch
images
and
gather
depth
information
about
physical
objects-the
bench
and
the
person…
and
speed
to
animated
actions
on
the
screen,
creating
the
illusion
that
the
animated
figures
are
occupying
real?world
space
next
to
the
user.”可知,摄像机和传感器捕捉图像,
收集关于椅子及人的深度信息。然后由电脑把它们转换成3D动画。与此同时,
内置在椅子里的触摸传感器可以将震动同时同速传送到屏幕上,
从而产生动画人物占据用户旁边真实空间的错觉。故可知画线单词意思为“与动画人物的互动错觉”。
3.C 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知传统的移动技术有局限性,
其中之一就是只有一个用户可以看到它的错觉,
Magic
Bench允许一群人聚集在一个环境中,
并在同一时间内集体参与增强现实体验。即Magic
Bench与传统技术的不同在于它能让许多人一起体验幻象。
4.A 标题推测题。根据文章第一句“A
new
Magic
Bench
designed
by
Disney
Research
lets
you
interact
with
lovely
animated
character.”可知,
迪士尼公司设计的“魔法椅”使人们在观看影视作品时,
可以与画面互动。
Ⅱ.七选五
Last
week
after
my
motorcycle
crashed
on
the
freeway,
I
wanted
only
two
simple
things
from
technology:
to
call
911
and
tell
loved
ones
where
I
could
be
found.__1__
When
she
opened
Google
Maps,
she
could
see
precisely
where
I
was.
For
years,
tech
companies
have
offered
different
ways
for
people
to
tell
one
another
where
they
are.__2__
If
used
carelessly,
location
tracking
may
hurt
your
privacy.
But
used
thoughtfully,
it
can
be
a
powerful
and
efficient
communication
tool.
__3__
When
you
make
plans
to
meet
friends
somewhere
like
a
movie
theater,
get
in
the
habit
of
sharing
your
location
for
a
short
duration,
like
an
hour.
This
way
you
can
skip
saying
things
like
“I'm
on
my
way”
or
“I'm
running
a
few
minutes
behind”
because
people
can
simply
follow
you
on
the
map.
__4__
Location
sharing
can
be
useful
for
being
thoughtful
(考虑周到的)
of
your
partner's
time
and
space.
For
example,
I
am
less
likely
to
text
my
partner
when
I
see
she
is
at
the
office
or
driving
on
a
freeway,
but
I
will
text
when
I
see
she
is
at
the
grocery
store
to
ask
her
to
pick
something
up.
Next
time
you
plan
an
event
at
a
large
outdoor
space,
do
your
friends
a
favor:
__5__
Wandering
around
aimlessly
in
a
crowded
open
space
can
be
annoying.
A.Here
are
my
suggestions
for
the
best
times
to
use
it.
B.For
safety
reasons,
avoid
sharing
your
location
publicly.
C.Use
an
app
to
share
your
current
location
so
they
can
find
you.
D.Consider
sharing
your
location
occasionally
with
your
partner.
E.There
are
many
ways
for
third
parties
to
find
out
where
we
were.
F.Yet
location
tracking
has
caused
disagreement
for
the
last
decade.
G.Before
calling
911,
I
texted
my
partner
who
was
already
tracking
my
location
with
an
app.
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。科技的发展使得共享位置成为可能,
但是什么情况下适合共享呢?
这是一个问题。本文作者给出了几条建议。
1.G 根据上文
“I
wanted
only
two
simple
things
from
technology:
to
call
911
and
tell
loved
ones
where
I
could
be
found(我只想利用科技做两件简单的事情:
拨打911,
告诉所爱的人我在哪里).”中
“call
911
and
tell
loved
ones”可以对应到G选项中的
“calling
911,
I
texted
my
partner”。G项“在拨打911之前,
我给我的伴侣发了短信,
他已经在用一款应用程序跟踪我的位置了。”符合语境。
2.F 根据下文“If
used
carelessly,
location
tracking
may
hurt
your
privacy(如果使用不当,
位置跟踪可能会损害你的隐私).”可知,
位置跟踪引起了不同意见,
故F选项“然而,
在过去的十年里,
位置跟踪引起了分歧。”符合语境。
3.A 根据下文提出的关于共享位置的建议,
可知本空应为A项“以下是我对共享位置最佳使用时间的建议”。
4.D 根据下文
“Location
sharing
can
be
useful
for
being
thoughtful
of
your
partner's
time
and
space
(位置共享对于考虑伴侣的时间和空间是很有用的).”中的partner's可锁定D选项中的partner,
D项“考虑偶尔和你的伴侣分享你的位置。”符合语境。
5.C 根据上文
“Next
time
you
plan
an
event
at
a
large
outdoor
space,
do
your
friends
a
favor(下次你计划在大型户外活动时,
帮你的朋友一个忙).”可知,
C选项“使用一个应用程序来分享你当前的位置,
这样他们就能找到你。”符合语境,
是对前面内容的解释说明。其中they对应your
friends。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍了国内发行的高中生适用的首本人工智能教科书。
1.was
brought 考查被动语态。根据时间状语last
week可知,
此处要用一般过去时;主语textbook是单数,
与bring
out是被动关系,
故用被动语态,
且谓语用单数形式。
2.to
include 考查不定式。这里是不定式作后置定语,
用来说明被修饰词plan的内容。
3.named 考查过去分词。name与句子主语是逻辑上的动宾关系,
故用过去分词作后置定语。
4.scholars 考查名词复数。定语“from
well?known
schools
nationwide”说明编写者是来自国内著名学校的不止一位学者,
故用scholar的复数形式。
5.practical 考查形容词。空处修饰名词use,
应用形容词形式,
故填practical。
6.who 考查关系代词。空处引导非限制性定语从句,
且先行词指人,
空处在从句中作主语,
故只能用who。
7.have
undertaken 考查时态和主谓一致。时间状语“Up
till
now”表示“直到现在”,
常与现在完成时连用。且句子主语是复数形式,
故填have
undertaken。
8.by 考查介词。此处介词by后接动词?ing短语表示方式,
作状语。
9.globally 考查副词。此处修饰整个句子,
需用副词作状语。globally意为“全世界地”。
10.a 考查冠词。本句表示“出版首本AI教材是一个突破”,
breakthrough是可数名词,
根据语境可知,
此处表示泛指,
故其前应用不定冠词a。UNIT

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Researchers
at
the
University
of
Chicago
have
trained
an
artificial
intelligence
system,
to
write
fake
reviews
on
Yelp,
a
website
showing
customers
reviews
on
shopping
or
something
else,
and
it's
pretty
hard
to
tell
them
apart
from
a
human
review.
Their
study,
which
will
be
presented
at
the
ACM
Conference
on
Computer
and
Communications
Security
in
October,
aimed
to
throw
attention
onto
how
easily
these
systems
can
write
reviews
like
humans
and
how
damaging
they
can
become
if
they're
not
monitored
properly.
Since
many
small
businesses
rely
on
online
reviews
to
help
grow
and
keep
their
reputation,
a
future
where
someone—like
a
rival
or
angry
customer—could
crazily
fill
their
page
with
negative
reviews
written
by
a
machine
is
pretty
worrying.
And,
according
to
the
research
team,
the
threat
goes
far
beyond
a
bunch
of
fake
reviews
on
Yelp.
“In
general
the
threat
is
bigger,
”
Ben
Y.
Zhao,
one
of
the
authors
of
the
study,
said.
“I
think
the
threat
towards
society
is
large
and
it
really
misleads
users
and
shakes
our
belief
in
what
is
real
and
what
is
not.
I
think
that's
going
to
be
even
unimaginable.”
To
test
how
believable
these
reviews
came
across,
the
researchers
invited
40
volunteers
and
had
AI
generate
five
fake
reviews
for
40
actual
restaurants.
The
volunteers
were
asked
how
useful
they
thought
the
review
was
and
whether
or
not
they
thought
it
was
fake.
The
AI
reviews
ranked
as
“effectively
indistinguishable”
from
real
reviews,
according
to
the
study.
Further,
the
fake
reviews
were
given
a
3.15
“usefulness”
rating,
compared
to
a
3.28
rating
for
human
reviews.
1.What
can
the
new
artificial
intelligence
system
do
according
to
the
passage?
A.It
can
help
train
new
reviewers.
B.It
can
tell
the
real
reviews
from
the
fake
ones.
C.It
can
write
human?like
reviews.
D.It
can
easily
damage
the
businesses.
2.What
does
the
underlined
word
“rival”
mean
in
the
passage?
A.A
person
who
respects
you
deeply.
B.A
person
who
competes
with
you.
C.A
person
who
loves
to
give
fake
reviews.
D.A
person
who
can
control
you
from
distance.
3.What
can
we
infer
from
Ben
Y.
Zhao's
remarks?
A.Artificial

can
put
the
society
in
danger.
B.The
artificial

C.Ben

is
optimistic
about
the

D.The

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。芝加哥大学的研究人员已经培训出了一种人工智能(AI)系统,
在Yelp网站上编写虚假评论,
足以乱真。其目的是强调这些系统可以很容易地写出像人类写的一样的评论,
如果它们没有被恰当地运用,
它们会变得具有破坏性,
而威胁远远不止于此。
1.C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段
“Researchers

芝加哥大学的研究人员研发了一种人工智能系统,
让它在Yelp网站上撰写虚假评论,
很难把它们与人类的评论区分开。由此可知,
这种新的人工智能系统可以撰写出像人类写的一样的评论。
2.B 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段
“Since

…
their

由于许多小企业依赖在线评论来帮助成长和保持声誉,
未来有人可能会疯狂地用机器写的负面评论填满它们的页面,
这是相当令人担忧的。由此可知画线单词所在部分
“like
a
rival
or
angry
customer”是someone的同位语,
对其进行解释说明。根据上下文语境以及生活常识可以判断出,
企业面对的是顾客和竞争对手两类人。因此rival可以理解为竞争对手。
3.A 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“

the
authors
of
the
study,
said,‘
I
think
that's
going
to
be
even
unimaginable.'”
可知,他认为AI智能能够误导用户明辨是非的能力,
会对社会带来不可想象的威胁。
4.D 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,
芝加哥大学的研究人员已经培训出了一种人工智能(AI)系统,
在Yelp网站上编写虚假评论,
足以乱真,
其目的是强调这种系统可以很容易地写出像人类写的一样的评论,
如果它们没有被恰当地运用,
它们会变得具有破坏性,
而威胁远远不止于此。选项D
“AI
is
coming
to
steal
your
reviews”体现了这一中心思想。

It

Jaden

A

three

And

Jaden

would
give
them
a

They
behaved
awkwardly
at
first:
stepping
back
or
giving
a
__12__
smile.
In
most
cases,
however,
he
will
be
paid
in

hugs.
Those

have
worked
wonders:
the

the

For
Jaden,
he

He

He

that

there

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一个六岁的男孩失去父母后通过赠送玩具的方法来收集人们的微笑,使自己和他人摆脱悲伤的故事。
1.B 根据空后“…
then
last
month
his
mom
died
unexpectedly,
__2__
him
an
orphan
(孤儿).”可知,此处指他四岁时“失去”了爸爸。
2.B 上文提到Jaden
Hayes遭遇两次梦魇,父母相继去世,所以此处指“成为”孤儿,“leave+sb.+宾补”结构中,名词作宾补时,意为“使某人成为”。
3.D 上一句提到“Jaden
is
understandably
heartbroken.”,所以此处指他的“悲伤”,下一句中“he
was
tired
of
seeing
some
people
sad
all
the
time”也是提示。
4.C 根据“when
he
told
his
friends”可知,此处指“公开的”。
5.A 根据“he
was
tired
of
seeing
some
people
sad
all
the
time”可知,他有了“解决”这个问题的计划。
6.A 根据下文他的具体行动可知,此处指他的计划如何“开始”。
7.B 根据下文“Sometimes
it
simply
confuses
some
people
__11__
a
six?year?old
would
give
them
a
toy.”可知,他请求姑姑给他买一些“玩具”。
8.C 根据“then
turns
their
day
around”可知,他的“目标”是那些没有笑容的人,然后改变他们的一天。
9.D 根据“but
a
smile”可知,Jaden不求什么回报,只想要个微笑。
10.D 根据上文“expecting
__9__
in
return
—
but
a
smile”可知,Jaden的目的是想要微笑,所以此处指目前已经“收集”了近500个微笑。
11.A 根据“it
simply
confuses
some
people”可知,人们不知道这个六岁的男孩“为什么”要给他们玩具,所以感到困惑。
12.C 根据“They
behaved
awkwardly
at
first:
stepping
back…”可知,人们一开始表现得很拘谨,后退或者露出“生硬的”微笑。
13.A 根据上文内容可知,他厌倦了看到人们悲伤,所以这个计划的目的是让人们微笑,所以此处指“快乐”,文章最后一句“there
is
always
some
measure
of
joy”也是提示。
14.B 根据上文可知,Jaden父母都去世。所以此处指每一天都会“想念”父母。
15.C 根据上文“he
was
tired
of
seeing
some
people
sad
all
the
time”并结合本句“He
puts
smiles
back
on
the
face
of
others”可知,他厌倦看到人们悲伤,让人们重拾微笑,以振奋他们的“精神”。
Ⅲ.语法填空
As
I
went
through
school,
I
came
to
understand
that
life
was
about
1.________(compete).
The
only
thing
that
mattered
was
doing
2.________(well)
than
everyone
else.
I
watched
this
cycle
through
the
lives
of
my
four
older
brothers.
I
watched
them
win
3.________(award)
time
and
time
again
and
admired
by
teachers
and
adults
alike.
And
I
wanted
all
of
that.
But
then
I
learned
that
I
couldn't
compete
4.________
my
brothers
or
others
for
that
matter.
I
didn't
enjoy
math
and
science
nearly
as
much
as
I
enjoyed
English
literature.
My
stomach
would
often
hurt
5.________(think)
about
the
amount
of
time
I'd
have
to
put
in
studying
and
working
to
get
ahead
of
everyone.
Around
the
seventh
grade,
I
decided
that
I
didn't
care
about
being
a
top
student
anymore.
I
just
wanted
to
do
6.________
brought
me
joy.
I
wanted
to
just
read
and
write
for
days.
Then
I
watched
my
older
brothers
enter
the
workplace
and
not
enjoy
the
career
path
they
had
chosen.
That
made
my
stomach
hurt,
too.
At
the
same
time,
they
were
making
a
lot
of
money
and
were
able
7.________(afford)
expensive
cars
and
go
on
trips
that
seemed
enjoyable,
but
I
decided
that
I'd
not
trade
the
cars
and
trips
for
having
a
job
8.________
brought
me
joy.
So
I
did
just
that.
I
9.________(major)
in
English
in
college
with
a
concentration
on
creative
fictions.
For
the
past
decade,
I
have
had
a
career
in
a
non?profit
organization
serving
children
in
need.
It
has
brought
me
great
joy.
There's
not
a
daily
drive
to
compete
in
the
market
place
and
be
better
than
another
organization
so
that
we
increase
our
profits.
The
drive
is
to
serve
another
person
with
excellence.
And
the
other
unexpected
aspects
are
that
10.________
I
have
never
made
a
lot
of
money,
I
have
a
car
and
have
been
fortunate
to
take
some
pretty
amazing
trips
for
work.
【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。作者主要描述了自己在学习和工作方面没有跟随自己的四个哥哥,
而是坚持做让自己感到快乐的事情。
1.competition 考查词性转化。
句意:
上学的过程中,
我逐渐理解了生活就是竞争。故填名词competition。
2.better 考查比较级。句意:
唯一重要的事情就是比别人做得更好。根据空后than以及句意可知应填比较级better。
3.awards 考查名词的数。句意:
我看着他们一次又一次获奖。award(奖励)是可数名词,
前面没有冠词,
结合后面
“time
and
time
again”可知用复数形式awards。
4.with 考查介词。句意:但是随后我了解到我不能在这件事上与我的兄弟和其他人竞争。
compete
with
sb.
“与某人竞争”。故填with。
5.thinking 考查现在分词。句意:想起为了领先所有人不得不在学习和工作中投入的时间,
我肚子就会疼。分词作状语,
与句子主语“I”为主动关系,
故填thinking。
6.what 考查连接词。句意:我决定去做能给我带来快乐的事。此处为宾语从句,
从句中缺少主语,故填连接词what。
7.to
afford 考查不定式。句意:
与此同时,
他们挣了很多钱,
能够买得起昂贵的车,
能够享受似乎愉快的旅行,
但是我决定不拿带给我快乐的工作与豪车、旅行做交易。be
able
to
do是固定搭配。故填to
afford。
8.that/which 考查关系代词。此处为限制性定语从句,
先行词是job,
故填which或that。
9.majored 考查谓语动词。句意:我在大学主修英语专业同时专注于创作小说。由语境可知作者在回忆过往,
需用一般过去时,
故填majored。
10.while/though 考查连词。句意:
而且其他出乎预料的方面是:
虽然我从没有挣到很多钱,
但是我也有了自己的车,
而且很幸运有一些非常棒的工作旅行。由语境可知此处表让步,故填while/though。
