1. associated 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，所填的词作定语，由于 associate和
possibilities有逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用过去分词作定语。
2. the 考查冠词。此处是“one ..., the other ...”结构，意为“一个……，另一个……”。
3. going 考查非谓语动词。recommend后接动词时要用动词ing形式，所以填going。
4. to visit 考查非谓语动词。the best time(s) to do为固定搭配，故填to visit。
5. decorations 考查名词复数。分析句子结构可知，所填的词作主语，所以用名词形式。根
据后面的are可知，该词要用复数形式。
6. especially 考查副词。分析句子结构可知，所填的词修饰介词短语作状语，所以用副词
形式。
7. but 考查连词。分析句子结构可知，前后语境为转折关系，故填but。
8. lower 考查比较级。所给的词是形容词，根据后面的than可知，此处要用比较级。
9. be closed 考查被动语态。close和rides有动宾关系，所以用被动语态。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。在泰国南部的浅水区，一种濒临灭绝的海洋哺乳动物儒
艮已经十分罕见。近期，它们被发现重现浅水区。
1. was released 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句子的主语是a video，是单数概念，谓语动
词应用第三人称单数；video与release之间是被动关系，应用被动语态；再结合时间状语“the
other day”可知，此处应用一般过去时。故填was released。
2. to breathe 考查非谓语动词。根据语境并分析句子结构可知，此处应用动词不定式作目
的状语。
3. closely 考查副词。此处修饰形容词related，应用副词closely“密切地”。

5. have made 考查时态。根据句中的时间状语“in recent years”可知，此处应用现在完成
时。
6. to 考查介词。根据语境可知，sensitive在此处表示“敏感的，易受影响的”，应与介词
to连用。be sensitive to意为“对……敏感”。
7. freer 考查形容词比较级。根据语境和下文的than usual 可知，此处应用形容词比较级。
注意：free的比较级是freer，最高级是freest。
8. a 考查冠词。去年，在泰国水域发现的死亡儒艮数量空前。a record number of表示“数
量空前的”，为固定短语。
9. holding 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，after引导时间状语从句，从句主语是
images，谓语是spread，因主语的后置定语(of Thai animal doctors ... dugong)太长，谓语太短，而
把谓语提到了后置定语前。此处介词of后跟动名词的复合结构作宾语。因hold与doctors之间
是逻辑上的主谓关系，故填holding。
10. which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处在此引导非限制性定语从句，且在从
句中作主语，指代先行词plastic waste, 故用关系代词which。Ⅱ. 根据提示补全句子

It hasn't rained for a month, making_the_crops_hard_to_grow.

(2020·山东济南 5 月模拟)Known for its complicated, seemingly wavelike sandstone walls
and the rays of sunlight that shine into them, Arizona's Antelope Canyon (羚羊峡谷) is an
everlasting attraction for tourists. It's a slot (狭缝) canyon, meaning it formed from water carving it
out over millions of years. It sits about 3,700 feet above sea level and takes its name from the
antelope that once lived in it.
The canyon forms part of Lake Powell Navajo Tribal Park in the Navajo Nation. The Navajo
Nation limits visits to either the Upper or Lower Antelope Canyon to two hours and requires all
visitors to be led by authorised guides. If you're planning a trip and need help with deciding which
area to visit, keep these recommendations in mind.
·When: Tours are available twice a day during the week yearround, though exact times vary by
season; tours are not available on weekends or major holidays.
·Cost: Tour companies' fees vary, but tickets, including entrance to the park, generally start at
around $60 for 90minute tours of Upper Antelope Canyon. Tours of Lower Antelope Canyon tend to
be around an hour and generally cost around $40 per adult and $20 for children.
·Mustknow tip: Most of Arizona does not follow daylight saving time (夏令时), though the
Navajo Nation, where Antelope Canyon is located, does. Check with your tour operator to confirm
the precise time of your tour.
Antelope Canyon receives tons of visitors and, in order to protect the canyon walls from
damage, no bags of any kind are permitted in either the Upper or Lower section. Also keep in mind
that while most tour companies welcome small children, not all of them will.
1. What makes Antelope Canyon attractive?

A 23yearold British woman has invented a product that she hopes will one day take the place
of singleuse plastic. The new product is made by combining fishing waste and algae (藻类)．
Lucy Hughes created the material, called MarinaTex, for her final year project at the University
of Sussex. She continued her research after she left the university.
On November 13th, the James Dyson Foundation announced that Hughes was the international
winner of the 2019 James Dyson Award for design.
MarinaTex is edible, meaning it can be eaten without danger. Hughes says it also is strong and
stable. But unlike plastic, MarinaTex breaks down in four to six weeks under normal conditions and
does not pollute the soil.
The inventor said she is concerned about the growing amounts of plastics in ocean waters. She
noted one report that there would be more plastic than fish in the world's oceans by the year 2050.
The United Nations estimates that 100 million tons of plastic waste has already been left in the
oceans.
Hughes also was investigating ways to reduce the amount of waste from the fishing industry.
The industry produces an estimated 50 million tons of waste worldwide each year, UN officials say.
Hughes told Reuters that she was trying to work out how she could use the waste stream andadd value to that waste. Examining fish parts left over from processing helped to give her the idea
for a material that was useful and did not harm the environment.
To create a strong material, Hughes added the molecule chitosan, which comes from sea
creatures like crabs, and agar, a material from red algae.
After months of testing, Hughes produced a strong, flexible sheet that forms at temperatures
below 100 degrees Celsius.
Inventor James Dyson said that MarinaTex is “stronger, safer and much more sustainable” than
the plastic polyethylene. It is also easier to break down than other possible replacement products for
polyethylene, the material that singleuse plastic bags are made of.
Hughes will receive about $41,000 in prize money as the first place winner of the James Dyson
Award. She told Reuters that she plans to use the money to better develop the product and ways to
mass produce it.
4. When did Lucy Hughes create MarinaTex?
A. At university.
B. After graduation.
C. Before going to university.
D. After winning the James Dyson Award.
5. What's true about MarinaTex?
A. It is delicious.
B. It is environmentally friendly.
C. It is a type of plastics.
D. It exists for a long time in nature.
6. What helped to give her the idea for MarinaTex?
A. Observing the process of fishing.
B. Studying different parts of a fish.
C. Checking waste from the fishing industry.
D. Examining leftover fish parts after cooking.
7. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Entertainment. B. Education.
C. Lifestyle. D. Technology.

Ⅱ. 读后续写
(2020·山东潍坊模拟)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。
“Mommy, don't go，” my threeyearold son screamed as I walked to the door. My fifteenyear-
old leaned against the kitchen counter with his arms folded across his chest, not screaming, but
glaring at me as I pulled his little brother off my legs.
“Are you mad at me too？”
“You spend all your time taking care of other people's kids, but what about us？” Dylan left
angrily.
I was shocked and a little hurt. How could my own child not understand that the work I was
doing was saving lives? Then the answer hit me. He didn't know, because he had never seen what
Healing the Children actually did. Dylan had heard the stories of sick children, but had never once
looked into the eyes of a child and understood the hard truth — that without our help, the children
would likely die.
“Get dressed. You are going with me，” I said.
I spent the drive explaining the case of Hector to my son, who pretended to ignore me the
entire time. “He's seven, only weighs thirty pounds and is very sick. He has a heart condition called
Tetralogy of Fallot, which could kill him. It is a miracle (奇迹) that he is still alive.”
I went on to explain that it took a team of volunteer medical staff to get Hector to the hospital
from his remote village and care for him while he was there. Still, Dylan seemed unimpressed.
We stopped at a convenience store for water and snacks. Dylan had one large and one small
Slurpee (思乐冰饮料). He said the small one was for Hector. I doubted whether the little guy would
be able to drink it, but remained silent. This was the first interest Dylan had shown in being here. I
wasn't about to ruin it.
I stopped at the nurses' station to check on Hector's progress while Dylan went to his room.
Our patient was recovering physically, but the nurse was concerned that Hector was struggling
emotionally. She said, “Kids usually bounce back fast, but he hardly speaks and never smiles.”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Imagine my surprise when I heard laughter from Hector's room. _____________________________________________________________________________

On the way home that night, Dylan asked me several times whether Hector would be okay.

【参考范文】
Imagine my surprise when I heard laughter from Hector's room. I entered and found Dylan
sitting on the edge of Hector's bed wiping pieces of frozen drink from Hector's mouth. Both boys
were giggling and Hector was apparently enjoying the company. I spent the rest of the day speaking
to doctors and watching my son playing with the special little boy. It was truly amazing to watch
them interact, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Perhaps to the two of them it was.
On the way home that night, Dylan asked me several times whether Hector would be okay. I
told him this boy would get well but he had a hard road ahead of him. My son seemed to be lost in
thought for a while. Then he declared his decision to join Healing the Children as a volunteer to help
Hector and other children. I never thought that a moody teenager would take up the voluntary work
and never again complain about his mother's crazy work schedule.
