考查状语从句。so that以便;since因为;so…that如此……以至于;because因为。结合句意可知,回答句
是目的状语从句,而B和D常引导原因状语从句,排除B和D;而C选项so后应接形容词,因此排除C。
此句是so that引导的目的状语从句。故选A。
【点睛】so that既可引导目的状语从句 ,又可引导结果状语从句。
区别这两种从句的办法有两个:
① 目的状语从句里往往带有情态动词can、could、may、might等。
② 从意思上看,目的状语从句往往表示的目的很明确。

考查情态动词。May可能;Must必须;Need需要;Can会。根据“But I can play the guitar.”可知,此处
can表示体力、知识、技能等方面的能力。故选D。
【点睛】“can”的用法:
表示“能;会”,指脑力或体力方面的“能力”。例如: I can speak English.
表示“可能”,常用于否定句或疑问句中,指某种可能性。例如: Han Mei can’t be in the classroom.
也可以表示客观上的可能性。例如:Teachers can make mistakes.

whom定语从句中指人,who的宾格,从句中作宾语。此句为定语从句,astronaut为先行词,关系词在从
句中作主语,并且指人,因此关系代词用that或who。故选B。10. —What should we do first if we want to make our town more beautiful?
—More trees ______________, I think.
A. plant B. are planting C. have planted D. must be planted
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:—如果想让我们的小镇变得更漂亮,我们应该先做什么?—我认为应该种更多的树。
考查被动语态。plant种植,动词原形;are planting正在种,现在进行时;have planted已经种植,现在完

词用延续性动词。如He has never been late for school.

是询问将来发生的事,用一般将来时。故选B。

Creative and New Ideas from Teenagers
Teenagers are known for being creative and full of new ideas. Let's have a look at these teenage inventions
that might change the world.
Banana leaves usually go bad in two or three days. Richard, a teenager from India, used UV to
make the leaves stay fresh for a year. Richard thinks that one day the leaves will be used for
making plates, cups and other things.
David, an American teenager, built an earthworm (蚯蚓) robot. It is able to go into the smallest
places, where humans or dogs can't go. It will be finding people in a fire or an earthquake.
Sara, a 14-year-old girl, from South Africa, found it tiring and boring to hand wash clothes in the
nearby river. She reused some bicycle parts and created a washing machine that saves time,
energy and keeps people fit at the same time.
Alex, a 15-year-old boy, from England, noticed that his grandfather who got Alzheimer's disease
(老年痴呆)would often leave home and get lost. So he invented the wearable sensors(感应
器)to help people find their family members like his grandfather.
21. Who built an earthworm robot?
A. Richard. B. David. C. Sara. D. Alex.
22. The wearable sensors invented by Alex can ___________.

细节理解题。根据“Richard thinks that one day the leaves will be used for making plates, cups and other things.”
可知Richard希望未来有一天叶子能够用于制造盘子、杯子或其他事,并非现在就是由叶子制成的,因此
A选项是错误的;根据“…a washing machine that saves time, energy and keeps people fit at the same time.”可知
Sara发明的洗衣机能够帮助人们节约时间、能量,同时还能让人健康。因此B选项是正确的;根据“David,
an American teenager…”可知David是一个美国的青少年,因此 C选项是错误的;根据“So he invented the
wearable sensors(感应器)to help people find their family members like his grandfather.”可知Alex的可穿戴感
应器是为了帮助人们找到他们的亲人,而并非是让老人待在家,因此D选项是错误的。故选B。

Best Trip I've Ever Had
Clara Daly was seated on an Alaska Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles when she heard a worried
voice over the loudspeaker:“Does anyone on board know American Sign Language? We need your help.”
Clara, a fifteen-year-old girl at the time, pressed the call button. An air hostess came by and explained the
situation. “We have a passenger on the plane who's blind and deaf,” she said. The passenger seemed to want
something, but he was traveling alone and the air hostesses couldn't understand what he needed.
Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help blind and deaf people and she knew she'd be able to
finger spell into the man's palm. So she rose from her seat, walked toward the front of the plane, and knelt(跪)
by the seat of Tim Cook, a sixty-four man. Gently taking his hand, she signed, “How are you? Are you OK?" Cookasked for some water. When it arrived, Clara returned to her seat.
She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed
for a while. “He didn't need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk, ”Clara said.
So, for the next hour, that's what they did. She talked about her family and her plans for the future. Cook told
Clara how he had become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman.
"Even though he couldn't see her, she looked attentively(聚精会神地)at his face with such kindness, ”a
passenger reported.
“Clara was amazing, ”an air hostess told Alaska Airlines in a blog interview. “You could tell Cook was very
excited to have someone he could speak to, and she was such an angel.”
24. What was the air hostesses' problem?
A. They had a very difficult passenger. B. They couldn't understand the passenger.
C. They didn't know the passenger's name. D. They didn't have what the passenger wanted.
25. Tim Cook kept asking for service in order to ___________.
A. get some food B. have someone to talk to
C. know Clara well D. look for his family members
26. From the passage we can know Clara Daly is ___________.
A. brave and clever B. beautiful and lovely

推测她是耐心的、关心他人的。故选C。
CHowever exciting space travel sounds, astronauts must still suffer with bad food. Now, food in space has to be
dehydrated(使脱水)or pre-cooked and stored. This means astronauts aren't really eating fresh food.
New technology may change this. Scientific American reports that a specially-designed oven will be sent into
space this autumn with NASA's NG-12 cargo(货物).Far from the common vacuum-packed(真空包装的)
meals, astronauts may get to enjoy freshly baked cookies before the end of 2019.
Why aren't they baking cookies in space already?
For one thing, there's the risk of a fire. Engineers also have to overcome the challenge of microgravity, which
prevents heat from circling inside ovens the same way it does on Earth.
Astronauts will still have to wait a while before they can have their cookies, though. After baking, the results
will be sent back to Earth for safety testing. If successful, this will be the first oven to bake food in space.
“I believe…that will be game-changing for both science and astronauts, ”food technology researcher Maeena
Naman Shafiee told Scientific American.
One of the main driving forces behind this project has been NASA's 2018 research into the effects of "
confinement(封闭)and isolation(隔离)”. Unlike on the International Space Station(ISS), astronauts
traveling out of Earth's orbit may not be able to speak to their loved ones on future missions, which could lead to
negative feelings.
It's hoped that the chance to bake and sense familiar smells can bring joy to crews(宇航人员).
“Is the ISS going to smell like fresh-baked cookies? We don't know, ”said NanoRacks' communications
manager Abby Dickes. “But that's a feeling we all know and love…that will make someone feel at home.”
Baking cookies in space would mark an important step, offering a small comfort in the difficult and unfamiliar
environment of space travel. Astronauts have already grown plants aboard the ISS.
With commercial(商业的)space travel now being planned, who knows what other developments may
surprise us in the future
27. What can the new technology help astronauts to do in space?
A. Store more food. B. Enjoy fresh cookies.
.
C. Quickly prepare food D. Cook many different kinds of home-made meals.
28. Why is it difficult to bake cookies in space?
A. Because it's difficult and costly to send food into space.
B. Because microgravity stops food from staying in one place.
C. Because baking cookies in space would pollute the spaceships.
D. Because it is hard to heat food properly because of microgravity.
29. What was the main purpose of the cookie project?A. To improve astronauts' health. B. To make improvements in space travel.
C. To encourage more people to travel to space. D. To make space travel more comfortable for
astronauts.
【答案】27. B 28. D 29. D
【解析】
【分析】太空旅行听起来让人兴奋,但是宇航员们必须忍受那些不好吃的食物。太空中的食物要经过脱水
或者预煮熟,然后储存,因此它们尝起来就没那么新鲜。现在,新的科技带来了改变,一个特殊设计的烤
箱将被送到太空,这样宇航员在太空就能品尝到新鲜出炉的饼干。这在太空史上将是重要的一步。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Far from the common vacuum-packed(真空包装的)meals, astronauts may get to enjoy
freshly baked cookies before the end of 2019.”可知这项新科技能够让宇航员在太空吃到新鲜出炉的饼干。故
选B。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据“For one thing, there's the risk of a fire. Engineers also have to overcome the challenge of
microgravity, which prevents heat from circling inside ovens the same way it does on Earth.”可知在太空做饼干其
中一个风险就是火,因为微重力的关系,火并不能像在地球上一样加热食物。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Baking cookies in space would mark an important step, offering a small comfort in the difficult
and unfamiliar environment of space travel.”可知在太空上制作饼干是非常重要的一步,它给宇航员在艰难、
不熟悉的太空环境中提供一个小小的舒适感,因此可推断饼干计划的主要目的就是让宇航员在太空更加舒
适。故选D。

Audio Texts Signal Rise of New Literacy
Many people read physical books or e-books, but now there is a new trend—listening to audiobooks(有声读
物).
According to a recent report by the Chinese Academy of Press and Publication(CAPP), more people are
choosing to listen to audiobooks these days.
To be specific, 26 percent of adults listened to audiobooks in 2018, which was 3. 2 percentage higher than that
in 2017.
Young people have been the main driver in the development of audiobooks. Some 26.2 percent of teenagers
listened to audiobooks in 2018, which was 3. 5 percent higher than that in 2017. Ximalaya noted that the value of
audiobook purchases made by those aged 13 to 18 in 2018 increased by 330 percent over that of 2017, the BeijingEvening News reported.
One of the reasons that audiobooks are becoming increasingly popular is that people want to get more use out
of their free time, China News Service reported. Listening to e-books frees up time for them, whether they are at
the gym, on a bus, or in bed. Faster internet speeds mean that a book can be downloaded in seconds, according to
Wei Yushan, director of CAPP.
Listening to audiobooks also helps with loneliness.“When I feel bored or lonely, listening to audiobooks
makes me feel that there is someone accompanying(陪伴)me, ”Zhong Yan, an office worker who is obsessed
with audiobooks, told the Beijing Evening News.
However, audiobooks are still far from perfect.“Listening to audiobooks doesn't make you think in the way
you do when you're reading a book. It's also likely that you will miss information while you listen, ”said Zhong.
Qiang Qiang, a primary student who often listens to audiobooks, shares this perspective: " Despite(即使;尽
管)its convenience, audiobooks are less detailed than physical books you read, ”he told the Beijing Evening
News.
Li Yini, assistant general manager of Baicaoyuan Bookstore in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, told Jiangnan Times
that people who want a book with serious content should choose a paper book or e-book, but they can choose an
audiobook if the content is easy to understand.
30. What can we learn from the first four paragraphs?
A. Audiobooks have developed quickly in recent years.
B. Audiobooks are more popular than physical books in China.
C. Ximalaya is the first choice when people listen to audiobooks.
D. About half of young people in China listened to audiobooks in 2018.
31. According to the article, people like to listen to e-books because—·
A. they are more convenient B. they are cheaper than paper books
C. they are more relaxing than physical books D. they provide people with a better reading experience
32. The phrase “be obsessed with" in Paragraph 6 probably means“ ___________, , .
A. be doubtful about B. be interested in
C. be careful about D. be disappointed at
33. What can we learn from Li Yini's words?
A. Audiobooks are less detailed than physical books.
B. People should choose a book form based on its content.
C. People think differently when they listen to audiobooks.
D. Physical bookstores face a big challenge from audiobooks.【答案】30. A 31. A 32. B 33. B
【解析】
【分析】现在有声读物越来越流行,本文介绍了有声读物的优点和缺点。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。本文第一段引出有声读物,第二段通过CAPP的报告说明最近更多的人选择有声读物,第三
段和第四段介绍2018年有声读物的应用较2017年有很大增加。因此总结前四段主要是介绍有声读物在近
些年的快速发展,A选项符合大意。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Listening to e-books frees up time for them, whether they are at the gym, on a bus, or in bed.”
可知听电子书能为他们腾出时间,他们可以在体育馆、车上或者床上听。以及下文“Despite(即使;尽
管)its convenience…”可推测听电子书是非常方便的,因此A选项是正确的;而文中并未提到电子书的价
格和放松程度,因此排除B和C选项;根据“Despite its convenience, audiobooks are less detailed than physical
books you read…”可知电子书较纸质书少了些读书时候的细节,因此读书体验不如纸质书,因此D选项是错
误的。故选A。
【32题详解】
词义推断题。根据“When I feel bored or lonely, listening to audiobooks makes me feel that there is someone
accompanying me…”可知这是钟燕对有声读物的看法,在她感到无聊或孤单的时候,听有声读书能够让她
感觉有人陪伴,因此可推测钟燕对有声读物是喜欢的,B选项意为“对……感兴趣”,最贴合钟燕的想法。
故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据“…people who want a book with serious content should choose a paper book or e-book, but they
can choose an audiobook if the content is easy to understand.”可知人们选择纸质书还是电子书,很大程度是看
内容的,内容简单易懂的,他们更倾向于电子书。故选B。

Each year on Feb 21, UNESCO holds an International Mother Language Day(IMLD). The event is to draw
attention to the disappearance of the world's languages:dozens of them are vanishing each year. UNESCO sees
this as a tragedy(悲剧), and with good reason.
What happens when a language dies out? Something huge is lost—not just sounds and marks but the way that
people make sense of the world and communicate with each other. And it is through language that we have culture
and tradition. Kill a language and all this is killed too.
Through IMLD, more people are becoming aware of the destruction of linguistic(语言学的)diversity inmodern times and trying to stop it. Google's 2012 Endangered Languages Project is a good example. Speakers and
protectors of endangered languages upload text, audio and video files to the project site. They want to introduce
people to the wonders of the way that people communicate and express themselves around the world.
The Myaamia Project is a similar kind of effort. This is an attempt to revive(重新使用)the language
spoken by the Miami and Illinois tribes(部落)of the US. Project members work to encourage people to study
and communicate with this language, which formally died out in the 1960s.
These activities, which breathe life into languages on the verge(边缘)of extinction, might seem old-
fashioned to some. But those who work to keep languages alive are not enslaved(束缚)to the past. They are
enthusiastic young people who design apps and use social media to champion their activities. As the US-based
social event calendar website Upcoming puts it, they“spread the word" to save the word.
So, while the problem of disappearing languages remains a very serious one, there is hope. We all have a
special feeling for our mother tongue, although those of us who speak one that is not endangered might not always
be aware of it. This is why we should recall(回忆)the wise words of the late president of South Africa, Nelson
Mandela:“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his own
language, that goes to his heart.”

【解析】【分析】本文介绍了每年2月21日,联合国教科文组织举办一个国际母语日。这次活动旨在帮助人们关注
世界语言 的消失,其中许多语言每年都在消失。虽然语言消失的问题仍然是一个非常严重的问题,但
还是有希望的。我们应该记住南非已故总统纳尔逊·曼德拉的名言:“如果你用一种他能理解的语言与一个
人交谈,那就会进入他的头脑。如果你用他自己的语言和一个人说话,那就进入他的内心” 。
【34题详解】
根据“Each year on Feb 21, UNESCO holds an International Mother Language Day(IMLD).”可知国际母语日
是在每年的2月21日。故答案为Each year on Feb 21. /(It's) on Feb 21.
【35题详解】
根据“Something huge is lost—not just sounds and marks but the way that people make sense of the world and
communicate with each other.”可知当一种语言消失,有些重要的事就丢失了——不仅仅是语言和标识,而是
人们感知世界,互相沟通的方式丢失了。故答案为Something huge is lost./Not just sounds and marks but the
way that people make sense of the world and communicate with each other.
【36题详解】
根据“Speakers and protectors of endangered languages upload text, audio and video files to the project site. They
want to introduce people to the wonders of the way that people communicate and express themselves around the
world.”可知谷歌这个项目,他们会上传关于濒危语言的文字、影音资料到网上,然后展示给全世界看。因
此他们这个项目主要是分享关于濒危语言的资料。故答案为 It shares online materials about endangered
languages.
【37题详解】
第五段开头“These activities, which breathe life into languages on the verge(边缘)of extinction, might seem old-
fashioned to some. But those who work to keep languages alive are not enslaved(束缚)to the past.”主要介绍一
些活动看起来过时了,但是那些保护语言的人不会被过去束缚。紧接着介绍了一些年轻人用全新的方式去
保护语言。因此本文主要介绍年轻人具有创造性、全新的方式保护语言的。故答案为 Young people have
creative ways to protect languages.
【38题详解】
曼德拉的名言“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to a man in his
own language, that goes to his heart.”意思是“如果你用一种他能理解的语言与一个人交谈,那就会进入他的头
脑。如果你用他自己的语言和一个人说话,那就进入他的内心” 。可见一个人的母语的重要性。故答案为
To point out the importance of one's mother language.
