冠词、名词
一、2019 年高考真题
1.【2019·江苏卷·单项填空】26.Nowadays the ___________ for travelling is shifted from shopping to food and scenery.
A. priority
B. potential
C. proportion D. pension【解析】考查名词辨析。句意:当今,旅行的重点从购物转变成
了品尝美食和欣赏风景。A. priority 优先;优先权;B. potential 潜在的,可能的;C. proportion 比例,占比;D. pension
退休金,抚恤金。故选A。
2.【2019·天津卷·单项填空】7.We can observe that artificial intelligence has already made a(n) ___________on our lives in
many ways.
A. statement
B. impact
C. impression D. judgment【解析】考查名词词义辨析。句意:我们能够看到人工智能在许多方面已经对我们的生活
产生了强烈的影响。statement“陈述说明”;impact“强烈的影响,冲击力”;impression“印象,感想”;judgement“判
断力判断”。故选B。
3.【2019·新课标I 卷·语法填空】Of ___69___
nineteen recognized polar bear subpopulations, three are declining, six are
(be) stable, one is increasing, and nine lack enough data.
【答案】the【解析】考查定冠词。此处为特指,意为“在已知的19 个北极熊亚种群中”,故填the。
4【2019·新课标I 卷·短文改错】Suddenly football feel just in front of me but almost hit me.
【答案】Suddenly
football fell just in front of me
almost hit me.【解析】考查冠词。名词football 为可数名词,前
边需要有限定词。这里football 第一次出现,故在football 前加a;考查连词。句意:突然一个足球落在我前边并且
差点打到我。“足球落下来”与“打到我”两个动作是顺承关系,不是转折关系。故将but 改为and。
5.【2019·新课标II 卷·短文改错】Since I was a kid, I’ve considered different job I would like to do. First, I wanted to be a
fireman, whose uniform looked so coolly. Then, when I was in the five grade, I wanted to be a teacher because I liked my
English teacher too much.
…
【答案】
Since I was a kid, I’ve considered different (1)I would like to do. First, I wanted to be a fireman, whose uniform looked so
(2). Then, when I was in the (3)grade, I wanted to be a teacher because I liked my English teacher (4)much.【解
析】(1)考查名词的数。“job(工作;职业)”为可数名词,用different(不同的)修饰时意思为不同种类的工作,
应该用名词的复数形式。故将job 改为jobs。
(2)考查形容词的用法。句中的“looked(看起来…样)”为系动词,系动词后需用形容词作表语。故将coolly 改为
cool。
(3)考查序数词。年级、班级是按数字顺序排列的,所以“在几年级”中的数词需要用序数词。故将five 改为fifth。
(4)考查副词。句意:在五年级的时候,因为我非常喜欢我的英语老师,所以我想变成一名老师。“so much”在句
中一般表达肯定意思,可与that 连用表示“如此…以至于”。而“too much”表太多,一般与to 搭配,表达否定意思“太…
以至于不能…”。本句话表达肯定意思,非常so much 或very much,故将too 改为very/so。
6.【2019·浙江卷·语法填空】Everybody wears___57___ same style of clothes.
【答案】the【解析】考查冠词。句意:每个人都穿相同风格的衣服。same 是形容词,意思是“相同的”,常与the 连
用修饰名词。故填the。

1.【2018·天津】6. The__________ that there is life on other planets in the universe has always inspired scientists to explore
the outer space.
A. advice
B. order
C. possibility
D. invitation【解析】考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。句意:宇宙中其它星球上存在
生命这种可能性总是激励科学家们去探索外部空间。A. advice 建议;B. order 命令;C. possibility 可能性;D. invitation
邀请。故选C。
【解题指导】本题考查名词辨析。名词和动词及短语的考查是高考重点考查的知识点。本题语法上是一个同位语从
句,从句that there is life on other planets in the universe 是来解释说明前面所选择的名词。根据常识可以判断,宇宙
中其它星球上存在生命只是一种可能性,目前无法证明,从而选出正确答案。
2.【2018·江苏】32. Try to understand what’s actually happening instead of acting on the _______ you’ve made.

C. acquisition
D. assumption

has increased only 7 percent.
【答案】the 【解析】考查冠词。句意:玉米产量在过去25 年里增长了近125%,而大米只增长了7%。故是特指在
过去的25 年里。故填the。

of her lungs. That makes her baby scream, and then a 400-pound male appears.

64
(weigh) problems.

三、2017 年高考真题
1. 【2017·新课标卷I·语法填空】As
65
result, people will eat more food to try to make up for that something
missing.
【答案】a 【解析】考查冠词。固定短语as a result 表示"结果"。句意:结果,人们将吃更多的食物去弥补损失
的东西。故填a。

知,同义词辨析大多是在具体语境中,由关键固定短语来判断的。真正的词义辨析题很少。常考的名词词义辨析词
有: custom 风俗习惯;habit 个人习惯;tradition 传统;scene 场景;scenery 自然风景(总称);view 特定位置的景观;
【公众号:实用视界 +VX:18071191557】

【名师点睛】词汇辨析是每次试卷中必然出现的题型,所以平时一定要把词汇放在句中进行记忆。在复习词汇的时
候,要依据语言的横向组合和纵向聚合,按照点-线-面顺序,构建知识网络环境,对知识内容进行巩固、深化和提
升,这样才能提高复习知识点的效率。这样,再做单项填空题时,就会觉得游刃有余。对于英语中的词汇用法,平
时要多归纳总结,词汇用法的特殊语法规则更要特别记忆。最好把词汇放在句子中,连同句子一起记忆,这样能够
加强记忆。

【名师点睛】本题着重理解定冠词和不定冠词的区别,定冠词the 表示特指,不定冠词a/an 表示泛指;对于冠词特
指和泛指的考查是历年来高考的必考点,平时的学习要多进行积累,仔细分析特指还是泛指。同时,更为重要的是
要多去积累习惯表达,特殊表达,这也是近几年高考习惯考的地方。总而言之,多解题、多理解、多积累才是关键。
做冠词的题目语感非常重要,平时阅读的时候,注意出现冠词的地方,体会是特指还是泛指。

C. By the way
D. For one thing
考点:考查介词短语。
【名师点睛】介词短语的考查通常是一些易混的相似的介词短语,这题的介词短语都是out of+名词搭配,但是意思
都是大相径庭,学生在平时要注意积累这些相似短语的搭配和含义,做题时结合具体的语境代入各个选项确定答案。
这句话很明显,前后两句话意思一样,就是后面简短写,可以确定是“简言之”。

world around us.

定语从句中cultures 作宾语,那么还缺少一个介词,和cultures 搭配用介词in,故选B。

【名师点睛】这道题与其说是考查介词,还不如说是考查定语从句,因为介词in 不是和后面的influence 搭配,而
是通过分析发现这是定语从句,和前面的先行词culture 搭配需要什么介词。

62
(see) the benefit. You may drink, smoke, be
overweight and still reduce your risk of
63
(die) early by running.
【答案】62. to see ;63.dying
【解析】62.考查不定式作目的状语。你不必跑地太快或时间太长就能看到它的好
处。此处不定式作目的状语,故填to see。63.考查动名词。你也许喝酒、吸烟或超重,但仍然通过跑步会减少早亡
的风险。此处of 是介词,其后用动名词。故填dying。
8.【2018·新课标I 卷·短文改错】My grandpa said last summer they earned quite a lot by sell the fish.
【答案】sell 改为selling【解析】考查动名词。去年夏天他们通过卖鱼挣了一大笔钱。此处介词by 后用动名词,故
用selling。
9.【2018·新课标II 卷·语法填空】Another reason for corn's rise: The government encourages farmers to grow corn instead
of rice ___64___ (improve) water quality.
【答案】to improve【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意:为了改善水质政府鼓励农民种植玉米而不是大米。没有连词可
以且谓语动词是encourages,故improve 应该用非谓语动词。此处表示目的,故用不定式。故填to improve。
10.【2018·新课标III 卷·语法填空】I quickly lower myself, ducking my head to avoid ____64____(look) directly into his eyes
so he doesn't feel____65____(challenge).
【答案】64.looking;65.challened【解析】64.考查动词。动词avoid 后要加doing。此处表示避免直接看他的眼睛。
用looking。
65.考查非谓语。根据语境可知,此处表示不直视他的眼睛,他就不会感到被挑战性。feel 为系动词,表示“被挑战”,
用过去分词challenged。
11.【2018·新课标III 卷·短文改错】Everyone was silent, wait to see who would be called upon to read his or her paragraph
aloud.
【答案】wait 改为waiting【解析】考查非谓语动词。根据句子成分分析,本句有谓语为was,而且没有连词,与主
语是主动关系,所以wait 要用非谓语waiting,表伴随。
12.【2018·浙江卷·语法填空】I still remember
59
(visit) a friend who’d lived here for five years and I
was shocked
(shock) when I learnt she hadn’t cooked once in all that time.

故填visiting。
三、2017 年高考真题
1.【2017·天津卷】14. The hospital has recently obtained new medical equipment, _____ more patients to be treated.
A. being allowed
B. allowing
C. having allowed
D. allowed【解析】
试题分析:句意:近期这个医院购进了新的医疗设备,允许更多的病人被治疗。前句购进医疗设备和后面允许更多
的病人被治疗之间是必然的结果关系,用doing 即现在分词作结果状语,表示顺理成章的结果。A. being allowed 表
示被动且正在进行
C. having allowed 强调先于谓语动词发生
D. allowed 表示被动且完成,故选B。
2.【2017·天津】10. I was watching the clock all through the meeting, as I had a train ______.
A. catching
B. caught
C. to catch
D. to be caught【解析】
试题分析:句意:在整个会议期间我一直在看钟表,因为我要去赶火车。根据上文判断出as 引导原因状语从句,Sb.
have sth. to do 某人有某事要做(在本句中to do 由主语完成),根据句意判断选C。
考点:考查非谓语。
【名师点睛】本句考查的是have 的符合结构:have+ 宾语+ 非谓语,既是重点又是难点。对于have 的符合结构,
非谓语用什么形式,首先确定have 的词义,是“有”还是“让”,have(有)+ sth to do sth (由主语完成);have(让)
+ 宾语+ do / doing / done (用哪种形式需要具体分析),所以要正确理解句意和本结构的具体用法,灵活掌握才能
把题作对。
3.【2017·江苏卷】21. Many Chinese brands, _______ their reputations over centuries, are facing new challenges from the
modern market.
A. having developed
B. being developed
C. developed
D. developing
【解析】
试题分析:考查非谓语动词。brands 是逻辑主语,和develop 是主谓关系,所以用现在分词,表示伴随状
况;再根据“over centuries”可知,应该使用现在分词的完成式,故选A。句意:许多中国品牌,享誉数百
年,现在正面临着来自现代市场的新挑战。
【名师点睛】
现在分词作状语,表示主动和伴随状况;与逻辑主语是主谓关系,或叫主动关系,即现在分词表示的动作
是逻辑主语发出的。现在分词的形式有一般式doing/being done,完成式having done/having been done。
当现在分词表示的动作和主句谓语表示的动作先后发生时,使用现在分词的完成式。

because they were ordered...,故选D。

词作结果状语,表示顺理成章的结果。不定式也可以作结果状语,但是那是预料不到的结果。故选A。

【名师点睛】判断非谓语动词的形式的第一步是分析句子成分,看是用谓语动词还是非谓语动词,确定了是非谓语
动词,还要判断非谓语动词的成分,和这个动词和逻辑主语的关系。这道题还有一个考点就是同样是结果状语从句,
现在分词和不定式用法也不同,还要结合语境判断符合哪一个,来加以判断。学科=网

专题06 情态动词和虚拟语气
一、2019 年高考真题
1.【2019·江苏卷·单项填空】31.What a pity! You missed the sightseeing, or we _________a good time together.
A. had
B. will have
C. would have had D. had had【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意:真遗憾!你错过了这次观光,否
则,我们本应该在一起度过一段愉快时光的。根据上文,可知是对过去事情的虚拟,与过去事实相反的假设。其句
子结构为:从句:If+主语+过去完成时+其他,主句:主语+should(would, could, might)+现在完成时+其他,故选C。
2.【2019·天津卷·单项填空】14.The workers were not better organized, otherwise they ____________ the task in half the
time.
A. accomplished
B. had accomplished
C. would accomplish
D. would have accomplished【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意:工人们没有被更好的组织起来,
否则他们用一半的时间就能完成任务。根据上句the workers were not better organized 可知,这是对过去事情的虚拟。
与过去事实相反的假设。其句子结构为:从句:If+主语+过去完成时+其他,主句:主语+should(would, could, might)+
现在完成时+其他,故选D。
二、2018 年高考真题
1.【2018·江苏】24. It’s strange that he _______ have taken the books without the owner’s permission.
A. would
B. should
C. could
D. might【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意:真奇怪,他竟然没有主人的允许就拿走了这
些书。在句型”It is important/necessary/strange/impossible/natural that...”中,其中由that 引导的主语从句通常用
“should+动词原形”这样的虚拟语气,其中的should 可以省略。故选B。
点睛:本题考查虚拟语气。It is important/necessary/strange/impossible/natural that... 主语从句多数情况下用虚拟语
气,表达一种要求、命令或者责备、建议或主观看法。但是如果只是表示陈述一个事实而不是强烈的感情,完全可
以用一般的陈述语气。试比较:It is strange that he had made a mistake.(陈述一个事实:他犯了错误让人有点奇怪。)
It is strange that he (should) have made a mistake. (虚拟语气,说话者是在责备他本不应该犯错。)
2.【2018·江苏】27. There is a good social life in the village, and I wish I
_______ a second chance to become more
involved.
A. had
B. will have
C. would have had
D. have had【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意:在这个村里有很好的社交生活,并
且我希望我再有机会去更多的参与。本题考查wish 引导的宾语从句,表示与现在事实相反的愿望,所以从句用一般
过去时。故选A。
点睛:本题考查wish 引导的虚拟语气。由wish 引起的表示愿望的虚拟语气:1.用wish 表示对现在的愿望时,它
所引起的宾语从句中谓语动词形式为:过去式(be 动词用were)。2.用wish 表示对将来的愿望时,它所引起的宾
语从句中谓语动词形式为:would, could, might+ 动词原形。3.wish 用于对过去的事实表示一种不可能实现的愿望
时,宾语从句中的谓语动词形式为:had+动词过去分词或could, would + have +动词过去分词。分析此题需抓住前句
There is a good social life in the village 的时态是一般现在时,可以判断出此题wish 用于对现在的事实表示一种不可能
实现的愿望。
3.【2018·天津】10. I can't find my purse. I___________ it in the supermarket yesterday, but I'm not sure.
A. should leave
B. must have left
C. might leave
D. could have left【解析】考查情态动词表推测和虚拟语气。句意:我不能找到
我的钱包了,昨天我有可能把它落到超市了,但我不确定。根据句中时间状语yesterday 可知,是对过去事情的推测,
故用情态动词+ have done,再根据后句but I’m not sure.可知,此推测为不能肯定的推测,故用情态动词could,表示
“可能”。故选D。
点睛:情态动词是每年高考的热点也是难点。本题抓住两点:第一、时态。根据句中时间状语可以判断出是对过去
事情的推测,故用情态动词+ have done;如果是对现在事情的推测,才用情态动词+v 原形。第二、情态动词的选
择。must 为肯定推测,表示“一定”,could 为不肯定推测,表示“可能”,这样就能选出正确答案。
4.【2018·北京】12. In today’s information age, the loss of data _________ cause serious problems for a company.
A. need
B. should
C. can
D. must【解析】考查情态动词。句意:
在今天的信息时代,数据的丢失有时会对一个公司造成严重的问题。数据丢失造成严重问题是客观上会发生的情况,
即“客观可能性”,故该空应用情态动词can。C 选项正确。其余情态动词均没有该用法。need 需要;should 应该,
竟然;must 必须,肯定。
点睛:can 的基本用法:1. (表示能力、功能)能,会;2. (表示推测)可能,可能会;3.(表示允许,请求)可以;4.
【公众号:实用视界 +VX:18071191557】

(表示客观可能性)有时会。
5.【2018·北京】13. They might have found a better hotel if they _________ a few more kilometers.
A. drove
B. would drive
C. were to drive
D. had driven【解析】考查虚拟语气。
句意:如果他们多开几公里的话,他们也许会找到一个更好的旅馆。由“they might have found a better hotel”可知,
该句是表示对过去的虚拟。if ____ a few more kilometers 是条件句部分,表示对过去的虚拟,条件句部分要用过去完
成时态,故D 选项正确。
6.【2018·天津】15. If we ___________the flight yesterday, we would be enjoying our holiday on the beach
A. had caught
B. caught
C. have caught
D. would catch【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意:如果我们昨天赶上飞机的话,
现在我们正在海滩享受我们的假日了。根据时间状语yesterday 可知,从句表示与过去事实相反,故用had + v-ed。
故选A。
点睛:本题考查虚拟语气。虚拟语气重要做题原则:根据题干中主句或从句中动词形式判断所考查的动词的虚拟时
间,一般要保持一致,但要注意错综时间虚拟语气要根据各自所表示的虚拟时间做出调整。本题就是错综条件虚拟
语气,从句与过去事实相反,故用had + v-ed,主句与现在事实相反。
三、2017 年高考真题
1.【2017·北京卷】21. Samuel, the tallest boy in our class, ______ easily reach the books on the top shelf.
A. must
B. should
C. can
D. need
试题分析:A. must 必须;B. should 应该;C. can 能;D. need 需要。句意:Samuel,我们班最高的男生,能很轻松
地够着书架顶上的书。此处需要一个表示能力的词,故用can,答案为C。
考点:考查情态动词
2.【2017·北京卷】34. If the new safety system _______ to use, the accident would never have happened.
A. had been put
B. were put
C. should be put
D. would be put
试题分析:句意:如果这个新的安全系统被投入使用过的话,这个事故就不会发生了。根据主句确定是对过去情况
的虚拟,所以从句谓语用had done 形式,此外根据句意可知是被动,用被动语态,故A 项是正确的。
考点:考查虚拟语气。
【名师点睛】
英语中的三种语气,语气是动词的一种形式,用来说明我们对自己的话所采取的态度。
1、陈述语气(疑问,否定,肯定,感叹)
2、祈使语气(命令,要求,建议,警告)
3、虚拟语气:不可能发生的事,愿望,建议,与事实相反的假设等.
一、虚拟语气在条件中的具体用法
真实条件句
If you work hard,you’ll surely pass the exam.
虚拟条件句(假设情况不存在,实现机会很小)
If I were a bird, I could fly freely in the sky.
3.【2017·江苏
卷
】
22.
_______ not for the support of the teachers, the student could not overcome her difficulty.
A. It were
B. Were it
C. It was
D. Was it【解析】考查虚拟
语气的省略。虚拟语气中,be 动词统一用were;虚拟语气的省略形式主要是把if 省略,同时把were/should/had 提
前,即Were /Should/ Had I...,故选B。
【名师点睛】
在虚拟语气中,be 动词只能用were;虚拟条件句省去连词if 时,从句主谓部分倒装:Were/Had/Should+主
语+谓语动词...
若条件从句为否定句,否定词not 应置于主语之后,而不能与were, should, had 等缩略成Weren’t, Shouldn’t,
Hadn’t 置于句首。
if 从句的谓语动词
主句谓语动词
1.与现在事实相反
动词过去式(be 一律用were)
would/could/might/should+动词
原形
2.与过去事实相反
had done
would/could/might/should+have
done
3.与将来事实可能相反
a.动词过去式(be 一律用were)
b.should+动词原形(不能用would)
c.were to+动词原形
would/could/might/should+动词
原形

4.【2017·天津卷】2. My room is a mess, but I __________clean it before I go out tonight. I can do it in the morning.
A.
daren’t
B. shouldn’t
C. needn’t
D. mustn’t【解析】
试题分析:句意:我的房间很乱,但是在今晚我出去之前不需要打扫,我可以明天早晨再打扫。A.不敢;B.不应该;
C 不需要;D.不许。根据句意,故选C。
考点:考查情态动词。
【名师点睛】情态动词主要考查句意和说话人的语气的强弱,这几个情态动词的否定形式意思各不相同,确定各自
的含义,弄清它们的区别再结合上下文语境就不难理解了。daren’t 通常表示“不敢”,shouldn’t 强调的是没有义务,
必要性;needn’t 表示“不需要”,mustn't 表示不许,语气比较强烈,它们之间有明显不同。学科+网
5.【2017·天津卷】15. —Do you have Betty’s phone number?
—Yes. Otherwise, I ______able to reach her yesterday.
A. hadn’t been
B. wouldn’t have been
C. weren’t
D. wouldn’t be【解析】
试题分析:句意:——你有贝蒂的电话号码吗?——有。否则我昨天就联系不到她了。此处otherwise(否则)相当于
一个if 引导的条件状语从句,由yesterday 可知本句对过去进行虚拟,由此可以判断出主句用wouldn’t have done,
故选B。

C. had been injured
D. would have been injured【解析】

虚拟。故选D。

charge.
A. that
B. which
C. what
D. how【解析】考查名词性从句的引导
词。"half of _________ it used to charge"是$20 的同位语,即原来价格的一半是现在的$20;另外,of 后跟名词或
名词短语构成介宾短语,所以,这里是宾语从句;宾语从句中的charge 后面缺少宾语,所以用what 来引导宾语从
句,并充当宾语从句的宾语,故选C。
【名师点睛】
这里容易误判为定语从句的“介词+关系代词”结构,需要注意的是,half of 后面的价格是以前的价格。
如果是定语从句,那么half of 后面的价格则是$20 的一半,即$10,再结合“down to”可知,原来的价格
高于$20,因此不是定语从句。
介词of 后跟宾语,因此这里是宾语从句,通过分析句子成分可知,宾语从句缺少宾语,因此用what 引导。

考点:考查同位语从句。
【名师点睛】解答这类题目,关键在于分析清楚句子结构,知道引导词的使用习惯。通过判断引导词在从句中所作

that 引导表示陈述句的同位语从句,if 和whether,whether...or not 引导表示“是否”的一般疑问句的同位语从句。判
断是否是同位语从句,还可以用同位词+is+同位语从句,如果可以讲的通,一般就是同位语从句,例如这题中,可
以改成The suggestion is that we should have an assistant.

While
【解析】试题分析:考查连词。连词because因为;if如果;unless除非,如果不……;while尽管;然而;当时;句意:
尽管一些人被成功的渴望驱使着,但是其他人却被失败的恐惧驱使着前进。根据句意可知上下文之间存在转折关系,
所以使用“while尽管……”连接。故D项正确。
【名师点睛】
连词while 根据上下文有以下不同作用和含义。
一、引导时间状语从句译作“当……时”。例如:

2. We must work hard to gain more knowledge while we are young.
趁着现在还年轻,我们必须刻苦学习,获得更多的知识。
二、引导让步状语从句
常放在句首,译作“尽管”、“虽然”,比although 或though 语气要轻。例如:
While I believe it is true, I cannot prove it. 虽然我相信那是真的,但我无法证明。
三、引导条件状语从句

1. While there is life, there is hope.有生命,就有希望。
2. While a spark of life remains, it is a doctor's duty to save the patient.

专题11 特殊句式
一、2019 年高考真题
1.【2019·天津卷·单项填空】12.The professor warned tie students that on no account _____________ use mobile phones in
his class.
A. should they
B. they should
C. dare they
D. they dare【解析】考查部分倒装。句意:这位教授警告学生们,在他的课堂上,决不应该使用手机。
on no account 决不,否定词放在句首,句子使用部分倒装,应该做should do,敢于做dare do,根据句意表示”应该“,
故选A。
二、2018 年高考真题
1.【2018·天津】14. It was only when the car pulled up in front of our house ___________we saw Lily in the passenger seat.
A. which
B. that
C. when
D. where【解析】考查强调句。句意:只
有当汽车在我们房子前停下来我们才看到在乘客位置的莉莉。这里考查强调句,强调句型结构为:It is/ was + 被强
调部分(通常是主语、宾语或状语)+ that/ who(当强调主语且主语指人)+ 其他部分。本题强调时间状语only when the
car pulled up in front of our house。故选B。
点睛:本题考查强调句,要求有学生掌握好强调句的常用句型以及相关知识的能力。分析句子时首先要看清楚结构,
It is / was…开头而后面跟句子时就要看它是不是强调句了。强调句有一个特点:拿掉It was/is…that…后不影响整个句
子的完整性,则是强调句。判断完是不是强调句后再根据强调的部分是人还是物来选择连接词that 或者是who。
2.【2018·北京】8. In any unsafe situation, simply _________ the button and a highly-trained agent will get you the help you
need.
A. press
B. to press
C. pressing
D. pressed【解析】考查祈使句。
句意:在任何不安全的情况下,仅仅摁一下这个按钮,一个训练有素的特工就会使你得到你需要的帮助。and 是连
词,连接并列结构,and 后面是一个句子,那么,前面也应是句子,选项中。
只有动词原形可以构成祈使句,其余的都是非谓语动词,无法构成句子。故A 选项正确。
点睛:祈使句+and/or+陈述句是一种常见结构。当前后两部分间为承接关系时,用and;前后意思为相反关系时,
用or。该句式中的陈述句部分常用一般将来时态。
3.【2018·新课标II 卷·语法填空】China's approach to protecting its environment while ___70___ (feed) its citizens "offers
useful lessons for agriculture and food policymakers worldwide." says the bank's Juergen Voegele.
【答案】feeding【解析】考查省略句。句意:中国在养活了中国人民的同时又保护了环境。这一做法为全世界的农
业和粮食政策制定人提供了很有用的经验。空格处表示正在进行的动作,while 后面省略掉了China is,省略句的原
则:在时间状语从句、条件状语从句、让步状语从句中,如果从句的主语和主句的主语一致且含有be 动词时,那
么可以把主语和be 动词一块省略。故填feeding。
三、2017 年高考真题
1.【2017·江苏卷】22. _______ not for the support of the teachers, the student could not overcome her difficulty.
A. It were
B. Were it
C. It was
D. Was it【解析】试题分析:考查虚拟语
气和倒装。虚拟语气中,be 动词统一用were;虚拟语气的省略形式主要是把if 省略,同时把were/should/had 提前,
即Were /Should/ Had I...,故选B。句意:要不是老师们的支持,该生是无法克服她自己的困难的。
【名师点睛】
在虚拟语气中,be 动词只能用were;虚拟条件句省去连词if 时,从句主谓部分倒装:Were/Had/Should+主
语+谓语动词……
e.g. Were I Tom, I would refuse. 如果我是汤姆,我会拒绝。
I will go, should it be necessary. 假若有必要,我会去的。
Had it not been for the bad weather we would have arrived in time. 若不是天气坏,我们就准时到达了。

Hadn’t 置于句首。
考点:考查虚拟语气和倒装

第37 页共218 页
新邻居。根据关键词It was 开头,后面连词首选that,构成强调句型,但需要验证,本句中去掉It was 和that,
句意完整,所以确定是强调句型。故选D。
考点:考查强调句型。
【名师点睛】判断一句话是否是强调句的一个方法是去掉强调结构,如果这句话还能够成立就是强调句,例如这道
题,去掉强调结构是:when I got back to my apartment ______ I first came across my new neighbors..这句话是成立的,
所以是强调句。除了强调句的陈述句,还需要掌握强调句的一般疑问句和特殊疑问词的结构,还有强调句做名词性
从句的语序问题。
2016 年高考真题
1.【2016·江苏】34.Not until recently ______the development of tourist-related activities in the rural areas.
A. they had encouraged
B. had they encouraged
C. did they encourage
D. they encouraged【解析】
试题分析:考查部分倒装。当not until 所引导的时间状语放在句首的时候,主句要使用部分倒装句。排除AD 项,B
项为过去完成时,上下文中并没有体现出过去的过去的时间。句意:直到最近他们才鼓励在农村地区开展与旅游业
有关的活动。故C 正确。
【名师点睛】
部分倒装是指将谓语的一部分如助动词或情态倒装至主语之前。如果句子的谓语没有助动词或情态动词,则需添加
助动词do, does 或did,并将其置于主语之前。
1.句首为否定或半否定的词语,如no, not, never, seldom, little, hardly, at no time, in no way, not until… 等。例如:
Nowhere will you find the answer to this question. 无论如何你不会找到这个问题的答案的。
Not until the child fell asleep did the mother leave the room. 母亲一直到孩子入睡后离开房间。
当Not until 引出主从复合句,主句倒装,从句不倒装。
2. so, neither, nor 作部分倒装
用这些词表示"也"、"也不" 的句子要部分倒装。例如:
Tom can speak French. So can Jack. 汤姆会讲法语,杰克
也会。If you won't go, neither will I.你不去,我也不去。
3. only 在句首,且强调状语时,句子也必须部分倒装。
例如:Only in this way, can you learn English well.
Only after being asked three times did he come to the meeting.
其他部分倒装
1)so… that 句型中的so 位于句首时,需倒装。例如:
So frightened was he that he did not dare to move an inch. 他害怕得很,动也不敢动。
2)在某些表示祝愿的句型中。例如:May you all be happy. 愿你们都快乐。学科*网
考点:考查部分倒装
2.【2016·天津】13. You are waiting at a wrong place. It is at the hotel ____ the coach picks up tourists.
A. who
B. which
C. where
D. that【解析】试题分析:句意:你在一个错误的地方等待。大客
车是在旅店接送游客的。使用强调句,结构是:It is/was+强调部分+that+其余部分,如果强调部分是人,也可以用
who,这句话强调的是地点状语at the hotel。
故选D。
考点:考查强调句。
【名师点睛】判断一句话是否是强调句的一个方法是去掉强调结构,如果这句话还能够成立就是强调句,例如这道
题,去掉强调结构是:The coach picks up tourists at the hotel.这句话是成立的,所以是强调句。除了强调句的陈述句,
还需要掌握强调句的一般疑问句和特殊疑问词的结构,还有强调句做名词性从句的语序问题。

With all the programs, teamwork is key as trainees learn the importance of leadership and being part of a bigger task.
All this fun is available for ages 9 to 18. Families can enjoy the experience together, too, with Family Camp programs
for families with children as young as 7.

【名师点睛】
一般来说,解答细节理解题时都可采用"寻读法"。也就是说,考生不必通篇细看原文,而可以采取
"带着问题找答案"的方法,即先从问题中抓住关键性词语。这种关键性的词语可以被称为"定位词",找出"定
位词",然后以此为线索,快速地捕捉和理解事实或细节,恰当地运用略读、查读等技巧,在文章中寻找与此问题
相关的段落、语句,仔细品味,对照比较,确定答案。
1. 应用文是阅读理解题中常见的一种体裁,特别是广告。广告简洁明快,语言精炼,篇幅小、信息多。广告类
阅读设题多为细节理解题。做这类阅读题的技巧是:先读题目,带着问题有针对性地阅读相关部分,快速寻找有效
信息。一般情况下,只要细心都会找到正确答案。
2. 说明文中的细节理解与应用文一样,说明文中的阅读理解也偏重考查细节,我们也可以采用"先看题,然后
带着问题在材料中寻找对应信息"的办法答题。
3. 记叙文中的细节理解以理解故事、人物描写为主。做这类题一般也可采用"寻读法",即先读题,然后带着
问题快速阅读短文,找出与问题相关的词语或句子,再对相关词语或句子进行分析对比,获取准确信息,找出正确
答案。
例如第21 题中根据题干中的关键词buy 定位到Store,也就是第一段的内容。然后再结合后文中的The store is
located(位于) upstairs in Building 3 right next to the Laser Dome.就可以得出正确答案。
能在文中直接找到信息句子的细节题比较简单,一般设置在第一篇阅读里以减轻考生的紧张心理。所以考生要
抓住这一特点,灵活使用解题策略,达到快速、高效的目的。

5. 【2017·天津卷,A】
Suppose you’re in a rush, feeling tired, not paying attention to your screen, and you send an email that could get you
in trouble.
Realisation will probably set in seconds after you’ve clicked “send”. You freeze in horror and burn with shame.
What to do? Here are four common email accidents, and how to recover.
Clicking “send” too soon
Don’t waste your time trying to find out if the receiver has read it yet. Write another email as swiftly as you can and
send it with a brief title explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored.
Writing the wrong time
The sooner you notice, the better. Respond quickly and briefly, apologising for your mistake. Keep the tone measured:
don’t handle it too lightly, as people can be offended, especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their
culture(i.e. incorrect ordering of Chinese names).
Clicking “reply all” unintentionally
You accidentally reveal(透露)to the entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner,
or what holiday you’d like to take. In this instance, the best solution is to send a quick, light-hearted apology to explain your
awkwardness. But it can quickly rise to something worse, when everyone starts hitting “reply all” to join in a long and
unpleasant conversation. In this instance, step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down.

第57 页共218 页
Sending an offensive message to its subject
The most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger. You write an unkind message about someone,
intending to send it to a friend, but accidentally send it to the person you’re discussing. In that case, ask to speak in person
as soon as possible and say sorry. Explain your frustrations calmly and sensibly — see it as an opportunity to clear up any
difficulties you may have with this person.
36. After realising an email accident, you are likely to feel ____________.
A. curious
B. tired
C. awful
D. funny
37. If you have written the wrong name in an email, it is best to ____________.
A. apologise in a serious manner
B. tell the receiver to ignore the error
C. learn to write the name correctly
D. send a short notice to everyone
38. What should you do when an unpleasant conversation is started by your “reply all” email?
A. Try offering other choices.
B. Avoid further involvement.
C. Meet other staff members.
D. Make a light-hearted apology.
39. How should you deal with the problem caused by an offensive email?
A. By promising not to offend the receiver again.
B. By seeking support from the receiver’s friends.
C. By asking the receiver to control his anger.
D. By talking to the receiver face to face.
40. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Defining email errors.
B. Reducing email mistakes.
C. Handling email accidents.
D. Improving email writing.

7. 【2017·浙江卷,C】
FLORENCE, Italy — Svetlana Cojochru feels hurt. The Moldovan has lived here seven years as a caregiver to Italian kids
and the elderly, but in order to stay she’s had to prove her language skills by taking a test which requires her to write a
postcard to an imaginary friend and answer a fictional job ad.
Italy is the latest Western European country trying to control a growing immigrant(移民)population by demanding
language skills in exchange for work permits, or in some cases, citizenship.
Some immigrant advocates worry that as hard financial times make it more difficult for natives to keep jobs, such
measures will become more a vehicle for intolerance than integration(融合).Others say it’s only natural that newcomers
learn the language of their host nation, seeing it as a condition to ensure they can contribute to society.
Other European countries laid down a similar requirement for immigrants, and some terms are even tougher. The
governments argue that this will help foreigners better join the society and promote understanding across cultures.
Italy, which has a much weaker tradition of immigration, has witnessed a sharp increase in immigration in recent years.
In 1990, immigrants numbered some 1.14 million out of Italy’s then 56.7 million people, or about 2 percent. At the start of
this year, foreigners living in Italy amounted to 4.56 million of a total population of 60.6 million, or 7.5 percent, with
immigrants’ children accounting for an ever larger percentage of births in Italy.
Cojochru, the Moldovan caregiver, hoped obtaining permanent residence (居住权) would help her bring her two
children to Italy; they live with her sister in Moldova, where salaries are among the lowest in Europe. She was skeptical that
the language requirement would encourage integration.
Italians always "see me as a foreigner," an outsider, even though she’s stayed in the country for years and can speak
the local language fluently, she said.
28.Why does Cojochru have to take a language test?
A. To continue to stay in Italy.
B. To teach her children Italian.
C. To find a better job in Italy.
D. To better mix with the Italians.
29.Some people worry that the new language requirement may
.
A. reduce Italy’s population quickly
B. cause conflicts among people
C. lead to financial difficulties
D. put pressure on schools
30.What do we know about Cojochru?
A. She lives with her sister now in Italy.
【公众号:实用视界 +VX:18071191557】
第59 页共218 页
B. She enjoys learning the Italian language.
C. She speaks Italian well enough for her job.
D. She wishes to go back to her home country.【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道,首先叙述了一个叫Svetlana Cojochru
的摩尔多瓦人移民到意大利,但为了能够继续留在意大利,她必须进行语言测试;接着向我们阐述对外来人进行语
言测试的原因以及对此的不同声音,然后介绍了意大利的移民史,最后告诉我们Cojochru 的居住现状:工资水平很
低,而且虽然在意大利生活多年,但意大利本地居民仍会把她当作外国人来看。
28. A 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中的"but in order to stay she’s had to prove her language skills by taking a
test…"可知,Cojochru 是为了能够继续留在意大利才要参加语言考试的,故选A。
29. B 【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段中的"such measures will become more a vehicle for intolerance than
integration"可知一些人担心对语言水平的要求可能会引起人与人之间的不包容,即冲突,故选B。
30. C 【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的"even though she’s stayed in the country for years and can speak the local
language fluently"可知Cojochru 的意大利语已经说的得很流利了,故选C。

Measles(麻疹), which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even more, was nearly wiped out in the United
States 14 years ago by the universal use of the MMR vaccine(疫苗). But the disease is making a comeback, caused by a
growing anti-vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreading quickly. Already this year, 115 measles cases have
been reported in the USA, compared with 189 for all of last year.
The numbers might sound small, but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend. When vaccination rates are very
high, as they still are in the nation as a whole, everyone is protected. This is called "herd immunity", which protects the
people who get hurt easily, including those who can’t be vaccinated for medical reasons, babies too young to get
vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesn’t work.
But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in. When some refuse vaccination and seek a free
ride, immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger.
That’s exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from Orange County, California, where 22
measles cases were reported this month, to Brooklyn, N.Y., where a 17-year-old caused an outbreak last year.
The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades, and it is driven by a real but very small risk. Those who refuse to
take that risk selfishly make others suffer.
Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out(决定不参加) of what are supposed to be required
vaccines for all children entering kindergarten. Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption(豁免), sometimes just
by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine.
Now, several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for opting out. But no one does enough to
limit exemptions.
Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons. But personal opinions? Not good
enough. Everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits vaccines provide, but they’ll exist only as long as everyone shares in the
risks.
63. The first two paragraphs suggest that ____________.
A. a small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trB. the outbreak of measles attracts the public attention
C. anti-vaccine movement has its medical reasons
D. information about measles spreads quickly
64. Herd immunity works well when ____________.
A. exemptions are allowed
B. several vaccines are used together
C. the whole neighborhood is involved in
D. new regulations are added to the state laws
65. What is the main reason for the comeback of measles?
A. The overuse of vaccine.
B. The lack of medical care.
C. The features of measles itself.
D. The vaccine opt-outs of some people.
66. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea of exemption.
B. To discuss methods to cure measles.
C. To stress the importance of vaccination.
D. To appeal for equal rights in medical treatment.

一、2019 年高考真题
1. 【2019·全国卷I,B】
For Canaan Elementary’s second grade in Patchogue, N.Y.,today is speech day ,and right now it’s Chris Palaez’s turn.
The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the of kid who would enjoy public speaking.
But he’s, nervous.“I’m here to tell you today why you should … should…”Chris trips on the“-ld,”a. pronunciation
difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher ,Thomas Whaley ,is next to him, whispering support.“…Vote
for …me …”Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice
conclusion ,Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.
A son of immigrants, Chris stared learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls(回想起)how at the
beginning of the year,when called upon to read,Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.
Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you
make mistakes. “It takes a lot for any student,” Whaley explains,“especially for a student who is learning English as their
new language,to feel confident enough to say,‘I don’t know,but I want to know.’”
Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise
their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about
more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast(夸耀)about themselves.
“Boasting about yourself,and your best qualities,” Whaley says,“is very difficult for a child who came into the
classroom not feeling confident.”
24. What made Chris nervous?
A. Telling a story.
B. Making a speech.
C. Taking a test.
D. Answering a question.
25. What does the underlined word “stumbles” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Improper pauses.
B. Bad manners.
C. Spelling mistakes.
D. Silly jokes.
26. We can infer that the purpose of Whaley’s project is to _________.
A. help students see their own strengths
B. assess students’ public speaking skills
C. prepare students for their future jobs
D. inspire students’ love for politics
27. Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher?
A. Humorous.
B. Ambitious.
C. Caring.
D. Demanding.
【语篇解读】本文属于记叙文,讲述Thomas Whaley 为了帮助学生学英语以及树立信心专门开展了一个演讲课
程。
24.B
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段today is speech day 和本段最后一句with shining dark eyes, he seems like the
kind of kids who would enjoy public speaking. 以及第二段第一句But he’s nervous.可知,Chris 眼睛黑亮,似乎
是那种喜欢公共演讲的孩子,但是他却很紧张,故可知Chris 是因为做演讲紧张,故选B。
25.A 【解析】词义猜测题。根据第二段“I’m here to tell you today why you should…should…” Chris trips on the “-ld”,
a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. 以及后文except for some stumbles, Chris is doing
amazingly well 可知, Chris 发ld 比较困难,这对于英语不是母语的学习者来说都是一个困难,总体来说Chris
做得出奇的好。根据前文可知,ld 发音不准,因此有些结巴,停顿得不准,故选A。
26.A 【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in
public. He wants these kids to learn to boast about themselves.以及最后一段“boasting about yourself, and your best
qualities,” Whaley says, “is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”可知,这个
课程不仅仅教孩子阅读以及公共演讲,还要让孩子学会夸耀自己,而夸耀自己对于那些进入教室没有信心的
学生来说很困难,故可知,Whaley 老师这么做是为了帮助学生认识自己的优势增加信心,故选A。
27.C【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign
project when
he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president.和最后一段He
wants these kids to learn to boast about themselves 可知,当他有一天问学生认为自己当不了总统请举手的时候,
想到了一个想法,这个课程就是帮助学生树立自己的信心,故可以看出这位老师很关心学生的成长。humorous
幽默的,ambitious 有雄心壮志的;caring 关心的;demanding 要求高的。故选C。

“You can use me as a last resort(选择), and if nobody else volunteers,then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a
parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids lacrosse(长曲棍球)club.
I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an
unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings. I mention the single parent
with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t even on … At this point the
unwilling parent speaks up,“Alright. Yes, I’ll do it.”
I’m secretly relieved because I know there’s real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many. The
unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end-of-season gifts. Somewhere
along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team. The coach is able to focus on the kids
while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids
can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.
Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is coupled with a deep
understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community(社区)as you freely give
your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. Volunteering just feels so good.
In that sense, I’m pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I’d freely like to admit. However, if others
benefit in the process, and I get some reward too, does it really matter where my motivation lies?
24. What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph l?
A. She knows little about the club.
B. She isn't good at sports.
C. She just doesn't want to volunteer.
D. She's unable to meet her schedule.
25. What does the underlined phrase “tug at the heartstrings” in paragraph 2 mean ?
A. Encourage team work.
B. Appeal to feeling.
C. Promote good deeds.
D. Provide advice.
26. What can we learn about the parent from paragraph 3?
A. She gets interested in lacrosse.
B. She is proud of her kids.
C. She’ll work for another season.
D. She becomes a good helper.
27. Why does the author like doing volunteer work?
A. It gives her a sense of duty.
B. It makes her very happy.
C. It enables her to work hard.
D. It brings her material rewards.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文中讲述了作者成功说服了一个家长参加志愿者团队,作为一名志愿者作者
发挥了自己的作用,并获得了快乐。
24.C 【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的You can use me as a last resort(选择), and if
nobody else volunteers,
then I will do it.可知,你可以当我是最后的候选人,如果没有其他的志愿者,那么我就做。由此可推断出,她
不想做自愿者。故选C。
25.B【解析】词义猜测题。根据划线前句she may just need a little persuading.和下面的一句话I mention the single parent
with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren't even on ...可知,作者为
了劝服这位家长,举了两个例子。故可知,划线句此处应是“煽情”之意。故选B。
26.D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中这位家长作出的贡献及the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable
member of the team 可知,她最终成为了志愿者队伍中的重要的一员,也即是说,她成了一个好帮手。故选D。

区)as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. Volunteering just feels so good.可

Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur(创业者), who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy. By the time she
was 13,her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids' teeth,
instead of destroying them.

第63 页共218 页
It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad
reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get
round the warning, "Why can't I make a healthy candy that's good for my teeth so that my parents can't say no to it?" With
that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research
and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.
With her dad's permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was
both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently, she succeeded
in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral bacteria.
Moore then used her savings to get her business of the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first
business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell
Moore's product-Cancandy.
As CanCandy's success grows, so does Moore's credibility as a young entrepreneur. Moore is enthusiastic about the
candy she created, and she's also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean
mouth and a broad smile.
Meanwhile, with her parents' help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life. Although she founded her
company early on in life, she wasn't driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their
smiles. She donates 10% of AilicCandy's profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky
could be the limit for Alice Moore.
34. How did Moore react to her dad's warning?
A. She argued with him.
B. She tried to find a way out.
C. She paid no attention.
D. She chose to consult dentists.
35. What is special about CanCandy?
A. It is beneficial to dental health.
B. It is free of sweeteners.
C. It is sweeter than other candies.
D. It is produced to a dentists' recipe.
36. What does Moore expect from her business?
A. To earn more money.
B. To help others find smiles.
C. To make herself stand out.
D. To beat other candy companies.
37. What can we learn from Alice Moore's story?
A. Fame is a great thirst of the young.
B. A youth is to be regarded with respect.
C. Positive thinking and action result in success.
D. Success means getting personal desires satisfied

I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books.
There was not one night that I don't remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the
elegant way the words sounded.
I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say," I can't believe what's printed in the

newspaper this morning," made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and
know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be
reading.
This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed
an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom
said," The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf," I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity,
and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the
road signs we passed.
Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make
A's on my tests. Occasionally, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn't enjoy this type of reading. I liked facts,
things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.
Yet, now that I'm growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself
needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious
world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don't have to write down what happened or
what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax.
We're taught to read because it's necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of my life.
Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I've found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless.

43. What was the author's view on factual reading?
A. It would help her update test-taking skills.
B. It would allow much room for free thinking.
C. It would provide true and objective information.
D. It would help shape a realistic and serious attitude to life.
44. The author takes novel reading as a way to___________.

The 65-year-old Steve Goodwin was found suffering from early Alzheimer’s(阿尔楚海默症). He was losing his

his true passion, though he had never performed outside the family.
Melissa, his daughter, felt it more than worthwhile to save his music, to which she fell asleep catch night when she was
young. She thought about hiring a professional pianist to work with her father.
Naomi, Melissa’s best friend and a talented pianist, got to know about this and showed willingness to help.
“Why do this?” Steve wondered.
“Because she cares.” Melissa said.
Steve nodded, tears in eye.
Naomi drove to the Goodwin home. She told Steve she’d love to hear him play. Steve moved to the piano and sat at the
bench, hands trembling as he gently placed his fingers on the keys.
Naomi put a small recorder near the piano, Starts and stops and mistakes. Long pauses, heart sinking. But Steve
pressed on, playing for the first time in his life for a stranger.
“It was beautiful." Naomi said after listening to the recording. “The music was worth saving.”
Her responsibility, her privilege, would be to rescue it. The music was still in Steve Goodwin. It was bidden in rooms
with doors about to be locked.
Naomi and Steve met every other week and spent hours together. He’d move his fingers clumsily on the piano, and
then she’d take his place. He struggled to explain what he heard in his head. He stood by the piano, eyes closed, listening for
the first time to his own work being played by someone else.
Steve and Naomi spoke in musical code lines, beats, intervals, moving from the root to end a song in a new key. Steve
heard it. All of it. He just couldn’t play it.
Working with Naomi did wonders for Steve. It had excited within him the belief he could write one last song. One day,
Naomi received an email. Attached was a recording, a recording of loss and love, of the fight. Steve called it “Melancholy
Flower”.
Naomi heard multiple stops and starts, Steve struggling, searching while his wife Joni called him “honey” and
encouraged him. The task was so hard, and Steve, angry and upset, said he was quitting. Joni praised him, telling her
husband this could be his signature piece.
Naomi managed to figure out 16 of Steve’s favorite, and most personal songs. With Naomi’s help, the Goodwin family
found a sound engineer to record Naomi playing Steve’s songs. Joni thought that would be the end. But it wasn’t.
In the months leading up to the 2016 Oregon Repertory Singers Christmas concert, Naomi told the director she had a
special one in mind: “Melancholy Flower”
She told the director about her project with Steve. The director agreed to add it to the playing list. But Naomi would
have to ask Steve’s permission. He considered it an honor.
After the concert, Naomi told the family that Steve’s music was beautiful and professional. It needed to be shared in
public.
The family rented a former church in downtown Portland and scheduled a concert. By the day of the show, more than
300 people had said they would attend.
By then, Steve was having a hard time remembering the names of some of his friends. He knew the path his life was
now taking. He told his family he was at peace.
Steve arrived and sat in the front row, surrounded by his family. The house lights faded. Naomi took the stage. Her
fingers. His heart.
65. Why did Melissa want to save her father’s music?
A. His music could stop his disease from worsening.

Zachariah Fike has an unusual hobby. He finds old military(军队的)medals for sale in antique stores and on the
Internet.But unlike most collectors, Zac tracks down the medals’ rightful owners, and returns them.
His effort to reunite families with lost medals began with a Christmas gift from his mother, a Purple Heart with the
name Corrado A. G. Piccoli, found in an antique shop. Zac knows the meaning of a Purple Heart-he earned one himself in a
war as a soldier. So when his mother gave him the medal, he knew right away what he had to do.
Through the Internet, Zac tracked down Corrado’s sister Adeline Rockko. But when he finally reached her, the woman
flooded him with questions: "Who are you?What antique shop?" However, when she hung up, she regretted the way she
had handled the call. So she called Zac back and apologized. Soon she drove to meet Zac in Watertown, N.Y. "At that point,
I knew she meant business, " Zac says. "To drive eight hours to come to see me."
The Piccolis grew up the children of Italian immigrants in Watertown. Corrado, a translator for the Army during WWII,
was killed in action in Europe.
Before hearing from Zac, Adeline hadn’t realized the medal was missing. Like many military medals, the one Zac’s
mother had found was a family treasure." This medal was very precious to my parents. Only on special occasions(场
合)would they take it out and let us hold it in our hands," Adeline says.
As a child, Adeline couldn't understand why the medal was so significant. “But as I grew older,” Adeline says, "and
missed my brother more and more, I realized that was the only thing we had left." Corrado Piccoli’s Purple Heart medal now
hangs at the Italian American Civic Association in Watertown.
Zac recently returned another lost medal to a family in Alabama. Since he first reunited Corrado’s medal, Zac says his
record is now 5 for 5.
21. Where did Zac get a Purple Heart medal for himself?
A. In the army.
B. In an antique shop.
C. From his mother.
D. From Adeline Rockko.
22. What did Zac realize when Adeline drove to meet him?
A. She was very impolite.

Money with no strings attached. It’s not something you see every day. But at Union Station in Los Angeles last month,
a board went up with dollar bills attached to it with pins and a sign that read, "Give What You Can, Take What You Need."
People quickly caught on. And while many took dollars, many others pinned their own cash to the board. “People of all
ages, races, and socio-economic(社会经济的)backgrounds gave and took, ”said Tyler Bridges of The Toolbox, which
created the project. "We even had a bride in her wedding dress come up to the board and take a few dollars." Most of the
bills on the board were singles, but a few people left fives, tens and even twenties. The video clip(片段)shows one man who
had found a $ 20 bill pinning it to the board.
“What I can say for the folks that gave the most, is that they were full of smiles,” Bridges said. “There’s a certain
feeling that giving can do for you and that was apparent in those that gave the most." Most people who took dollars took
only a few, but Bridges said a very small number took as much as they could.
While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign, Bridges said the only goal was to show generosity and
sympathy. He added that he hopes people in other cities might try similar projects and post their own videos on the Internet.
“After all, everyone has bad days and good days," he said. “Some days you need a helping hand and some days you can
be the one giving the helping hand.”
24. What does the expression "money with no strings attached" in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Money spent without hesitation.
B. Money not legally made.
C. Money offered without conditions.
D. Money not tied together.

A. Women tended to be more sociable.

矶的联合车站,一块牌子上别针别满了美元,上面写着“给予你所能给与的,拿走你所需要的”。所以通过下
文的语境,判断出第1 段中的money with no strings attached 是“无条件提供的钱”的意思。故B 选项正确。
25.B

While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV
tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts, many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take
the center stage.
Their efforts have been proven fruitful. Wang Shu, a 49-year-old Chinese architect, won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture
Prize — which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture — on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win
this award.
Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art (CAA). His office is located at the
Xiangshan campus(校园) of the university in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Many buildings on the campus are his original
creations.
The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the
complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curves(曲线) of the buildings perfectly match the rise and
fall of hills, forming a unique view.
Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional
techniques to make the bricks into walls, roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture
of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).
Wang’s works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions. Through such
a balance, he had created a new type of Chinese architecture, said Tadao Ando, the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.
Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums. "That is only evidence that traditions once
existed," he said.
"Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions. They think tradition means old things from the past. In
fact, tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created, " he said.
"Today, many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions.
Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are, " said Wang.
The study of traditions should be combined with practice. Otherwise, the recreation of traditions would be artificial
and empty, he said.
28. Wang’s winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are ___________.
A. following the latest world trB. getting international recognition
C. working harder than ever before
D. relying on foreign architects
29. What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?
A. Its hilly environment.
B. Its large size.
C. Its unique style.
D. Its diverse functions.
30. What made Wang’s architectural design a success?
A. The mixture of different shapes.
B. The balance of East and West.
C. The use of popular techniques.
D. The harmony of old and new.
31. What should we do about Chinese traditions according to Wang?
A. Spread them to the world.
B. Preserve them at museums.
C. Teach them in universities.
D. Recreate them in practice.

My First Marathon(马拉松)
A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving
me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a
softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was "not athletic".

The idea that I was "not athletic"stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running
was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my
own body and mind. A test of wills!
The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but
ready to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I
wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign: "GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!"
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course
walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was starving!
As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock
sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that
the guy who came in first place had.
Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a "
marathon winner".
36. A month before the marathon, the author ____________.
A. was well trained
B. felt scared
C. made up his mind to run
D. lost hope
37. Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?
A. To acknowledge the support of his teacher.
B. To amuse the readers with a funny story.
C. To show he was not talented in sports.
D. To share a precious memory.
38. How was the author’s first marathon?
A. He made it.
B. He quit halfway.
C. He got the first prize.
D. He walked to the end.
39. What does the story mainly tell us?
A. A man owes his success to his family support.
B. A winner is one with a great effort of will.
C. Failure is the mother of success.
D. One is never too old to learn.

"May I help you?" a man asked. "No, "I said. "We’re fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long
time about a painting you weren’t that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very nosy(爱
窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures in one room.
Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me. "Where do you think you are? " he asked. I turned sharply. "The McNay Art
Museum!" He smiled, shaking his head. "Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street." "What’s this place?” I asked, still
confused. "Well, it’s our home." My heart jolted( 震颤). I raced to the staircase and called out, "Sally! Come down
immediately! "
"There’s some really good stuff(艺术作品) up there." She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the
front door, waving at the family, saying, "Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place." Outside, when I told Sally
what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing. She couldn’t believe how long they let us look around without saying
anything.
The real McNay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso. This time, we
stayed together, in case anything else unusual happened.
Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place. "Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence, long ago,
thinking it was the McNay Museum? "
"Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone. "
"That was my home. I was a teenager sitting in the hall. Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I
lived in. I never felt lucky before. You thought it was a museum. My feelings about my home changed after that. I’ve always
wanted to thank you."
41. What do we know about Marian McNay?
A. She was a painter.
B. She was a community leader.

D. She mistook him for a tour guide.
43. How did the author feel about being stared at by the people in the hall?
A. Puzzled.
B. Concerned.
C. Frightened.
D. Delighted.
44. Why did the author describe the real McNay museum in just a few words?
A. The real museum lacked enough artwork to interest her.
B. She was too upset to spend much time at the real museum.
C. The McNay was disappointing compared with the house.
D. The event happening in the house was more significant.
45. What could we learn from the last paragraph?
A. People should have good taste to enjoy life.
B. People should spend more time with their family.
C. People tend to be blind to the beauty around them.
D. People tend to educate teenagers at a museum.

curiosity 和problem,可以推断出作者当时非常困惑不解的心理感受。
4. 【2018·浙江卷,A】
In 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels
for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719—but nobody wanted to do it professionally.
The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy(识字)rate in England was under 50%. Many
works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.”Novels, for the most
part, were looked upon as silly, immoral or just plain bad.
In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved,
who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist
to Tiny Tim— were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the
pantheon(名人堂)of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.
How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the
test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901;
today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It’s partly true that Dickens’ style of writing attracted
audiences from all walks of life. It’s partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it’s
also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent,
ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a distinguished writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches,
it is possible — and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.
21. Which of the following best describes British novels in the 18th century?
A. They were difficult to understand.
B. They were popular among the rich.
C. They were seen as nearly worthless.
D. They were written mostly by women.
22. Dickens is compared with the Mona Lisa in the text to stress________.
A. his reputation in France
B. his interest in modern art
C. his success in publication
D. his importance in literature
23. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To remember a great writer.
B. To introduce an English novel.
C. To encourage studies on culture.
D. To promote values of the Victorian age.
【文章大意】本文是一篇人物传记,主要介绍了Charles Dickens 在英国小说方面的重要贡献和深远影响。在他
200 年诞辰之际,让我们永远记住这位对文学艺术做出重大贡献的小说家。
21.C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段对当时情况的描写nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered
printing press was still in its early stages; the literacy(识字)rate in England was under 50%. Many works of fiction
appeared without the names of the authors... Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral, or just
plain bad.印刷技术落后,人们识字率低,作品上没有作者名字,小说被认为是愚蠢的不正常的,毫无价值可
言。故选C。
22.D 【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged.和列举的Charles Dickens 小说的影响可知,
把他和Mona Lisa 相比是为了说明Charles Dickens 在英国小说方面的重要性和Mona Lisa 在绘画方面的重要性
是一样的,故选D。
23.A
【解析】写作意图题。根据文中对Charles Dickens 及其作品在英国小说史上重要性的描写,和文章最后But as
the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible — and important for our own culture—to understand
how he made himself a lasting one.可知本文是写于Charles Dickens 诞辰200 周年前夕,由此可知作者写本文是
为了纪念这位伟大的作家。故选A。
三、2017 年高考真题
1. 【2017·全国卷I,B】
I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to
help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply
【公众号:实用视界 +VX:18071191557】
第72 页共218 页
beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I
saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no
luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.
The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this
nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger
screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling
as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the
parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was
accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably
continue to do so.
24. What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?
A. Efforts made in vain.
B. Getting injured in his work.
C. Feeling uncertain about his future.
D. Creatures forced out of their homes.
25. Why was the author called to Muttontown?
A. To rescue a woman.
B. To take care of a woman.
C. To look at a baby owl.
D. To cure a young owl.
26. What made the chick calm down?
A. A new nest.
B. Some food.
C. A recording.
D. Its parents.
27. How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?
A. It’s unexpected.
B. It’s beautiful.
C. It’s humorous.
D. It’s discouraging.
【文章大意】救助小动物并没有那么简单,因为你所做的救助行为到最后可能都成了无用功。但无论结果怎样,
救助小动物的这种行为是美好的。本文主要介绍了作者救助一只小猫头鹰,给它做新的窝,帮助它回到父母身边的
故事。
24. A
推理判断题。根据第一段中的Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is
never certain.可知救助受伤的、流离失所的、生病的动物是令人心碎的,因为我们不知道救助的动物是否能
活下去,也就是说我们为救助动物而花费的努力可能会白费,这是不可避免的。故选A。
25. C
推理判断题。根据第二段中的She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to
3-week-old owl 可知有人给作者打电话是因为有只小猫头鹰掉在地上了,作者赶过去看看情况。文中并没有
说小猫头鹰受伤了,作者只是过去看情况,所以D 选项错误。故选C。
26. A
细节理解题。根据第四段中的I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down 可知在作者把小猫头鹰
放在窝里之后,它很快就安静下来,所以是窝让小猫头鹰安静下来的。故选A。
27. B
观点态度题。根据前文描述可知作者为小猫头鹰做了窝,并且帮助它找回了它的父母,小猫头鹰的父母还为
它带回了午餐,作者的救助成功了,说明结局是美好的。再结合第一段的However, when it works, it is simply
beautiful.可推测,作者感觉很美好。故选B。
2. 【2017·全国卷II,B】
I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,
introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film — it wanted somebody as well known as Paul
— he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or
the studio powers.
The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the
fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful
of craft(技艺) and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues
that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other — but always with an underlying
affection. Those were also at the core(核心) of our relationship off the screen.
We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back — he with his
Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute
and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported
each other financially and by showing up at events.

I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we
didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.
24. Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first?
A. Paul Newman wanted it.
B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent.
C. He wasn’t famous enough.
D. The director recommended someone else.
25. Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?
A. They were of the same age.
B. They worked in the same theater.
C. They were both good actors.
D. They had similar characteristics.
26. What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Their belief.
B. Their care for children.
C. Their success.
D. Their support for each other.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To show his love of films.
B. To remember a friend.
C. To introduce a new movie.
D. To share his acting experience.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了与Paul 的相识及与其建立友谊的原因,虽不常见面但是却因共同
的信念而保持着友谊。
24.C【解析】考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"When the studio didn’t want me for the film — it wanted somebody as well
known as Paul — he stood up for me"可知,摄影棚起初不愿意给作者角色的原因是想找一个与Paul 一样著名
的人物。故可知作者当时不够有名。该题选C 项。该题文中只是给出了一些琐碎的信息,需要考生根据这些
信息总结出两人拥有持久友谊的原因,这就要求考生具有一定的归纳推理能力。文中明确提到了作者与Paul
并不同龄,所以排除A 项;B 项文中并未提及;C 项不是两人拥有持久友谊的原因。
25. D 【解析】考查推理判断。根据文章第二段中的"We were respectful of craft(技艺) and focused on digging into the
characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American
actors" 可
知,作者与Paul 之所以拥有持久的友谊是因为他们有相似的性格特征。故D 项符合题意。
26.A 【解析】考查代词指代。根据第三段中的"We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you
should put something back"可知,下文的内容是对the belief 的解释,that 引导同位语从句,解释说明the belief
的具体内容。下文提到了我们并不经常见面,但是分享这个信念把我们带到了一起。故选A 项。该题要求考
生具有一定的句法分析能力,能从一个长难句中找出关键词,并根据上下文信息判断出代词的指代内容。而
B、C 项只是the belief 后的同位语从句中的部分内容,故排除;根据画线词后一句可排除D 项。
27.B 【解析】考查写作目的。根据全文内容,尤其是第一段中的"I first met Paul Newman in 1968"以及最后
一段中的"I last saw him a few months ago"可知,该篇文章的写作目的是回忆一位朋友,所以选B 项。
写作目的题是考查作者写这篇文章是为了什么,达到什么目的。对于记叙文而言,往往是开篇引出主题,
并以时间顺序叙述全文,最后进行总结。主旨大意题是考查文章讲什么,中心思想是什么。所以两者要有所
区分。A、C 和D 项都过于片面,故排除。
【名师点睛】
本文前三题均考查了细节题。在完成细节题时,要特别注意排除干扰项。
如24 题中的A 项“Paul Newman wanted it.”属于“颠倒黑白”类干扰项,根据“When the studio didn’t want me for the
film— it wanted somebody as well known as Paul”可知制片人不想要我,说明A 项明显错误。
干扰项的设置方法除了“颠倒黑白”之外,通常还有以下几种方式:
1. 张冠李戴。命题者把文章作者的观点与他人的观点混淆起来,题干问的是作者的观点,选项中出现的却是他人的
观点;或者题干问的是他人的观点,却把作者的观点放到选项中去。
2. 偷梁换柱。干扰项用了与原文相似的句型结构和大部分相似的词汇,却在不易引人注意的地方换了几个词汇,造
成句意的改变。
3. 无中生有。干扰项往往是生活的基本常识和普遍接受的观点,但在原文中并无相关的信息支持点,这种选项的设
置往往与问题的设问毫不相干。

Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and
gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater’s 75-year history. This time, however,

the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats
and other theater equipment in preparation for the building’s end.
The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old,
most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building. Theater owner Ed
Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie
theater is preparing to close down.
Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the
theater’s location(位置) was also a reason. "This used to be the center of town,"he said. "Now the area is mostly
office buildings and warehouses."
Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public
meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land
to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.
The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years the Plaza Theater had
shown its last movie. The theater will be missed.
24. In what way was yesterday’s cleanup at the Plaza special?
A. It made room for new equipment.
B. It signaled the closedown of the theater.
C. It was done with the help of the audience.
D. It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater.
25. Why was The Last Picture Show put on?
A. It was an all-time classic.
B. It was about the history of the town.
C. The audience requested it.
D. The theater owner found it suitable.
26. What will probably happen to the building?
A. It will be repaired.
B. It will be turned into a museum.
C. It will be knocked down.
D. It will be sold to the city government.
27. What can we infer about the audience?
A. They are disappointed with Bradford.
B. They are sad to part with the old theater.
C. They are supportive of the city officials.
D. They are eager to have a shopping center.
【答案】
【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了一家具有75 年历史的剧院因为不利的地理位置和现代剧院的竞争而
被转售的故事。
24.B 【解析】细节理解题。根据首段的最后两句可知,这次散场后的清理工作与之前不同的是工人不仅清理走了垃
圾,而且还搬走了座椅和剧院的其他设备,因为剧院已经被转卖出去了。
25.D 【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句可知,剧院老板选择这部电影是因为这部电影本身讲述的就是小镇
上唯一的电影院准备关门停业的故事,与Plaza Theater 的现状一样。
26.C【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段末句中的"which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater
is located"可以推断出这个剧院将被拆除,取而代之的是一个购物中心。
27.B 【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段中的"most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say
good-bye to the old building"可知,人们非常难过,不愿意看到老剧院被拆掉。
4. 【2017·北京卷,B】
It was a cold March day in High Point, North Carolina. The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball team were waiting for
their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm. Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered(发抖) a little
as she watched her teammate Paris White play. The two didn’t know each other well — Taylor had just moved to town a
month or so before.
Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground,"Paris’s eyes rolled back,"Taylor says. "She started shaking. I knew it was an
emergency."
It certainly was, Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die.
At first,
no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, "Does anyone know CPR?"
CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick person’s chest so that blood moves through the body
and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen, the brain is damaged quickly.
Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn’t think she knew it well
enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR. "It was scary. I knew it was the

difference between life and death,"says Taylor.
Taylor’s swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Two more ran to get the school nurse,
who brought a defibrillator, an electronic device(器械) that can shock the heart back into work. Luck stayed with them:
Paris’s heartbeat returned.
"I know I was really lucky,"Paris says now. "Most people don’t survive this. My team saved my life."
Experts say Paris is right: For a sudden heart failure, the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step
in and do CPR quickly.
Today, Paris is back on the softball team. Taylor will apply to college soon. She wants to be a nurse. "I feel more
confident in my actions now,"Taylor says. "I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation."
56. What happened to Paris on a March day?
A. She caught a bad cold.
B. She had a sudden heart problem.
C. She was knocked down by a ball.
D. She shivered terribly during practice.
57. Why does Paris say she was lucky?
A. She made a worthy friend.
B. She recovered from shock.
C. She received immediate CPR.
D. She came back on the softball team.
58. Which of the following words can best describe Taylor?
A. Enthusiastic and kind.
B. Courageous and calm.
C. Cooperative and generous.
D. Ambitious and professional.
【文章大意】讲述Taylor Bisbee 通过及时的CPR 挽救了一位学生的生命。
56.C 【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第三段It certainly was, Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure.可知Paris 是突然
的心力衰竭,肯定是心脏问题,故答案为B。
57.C 【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第三段"Most people don’t survive this. My team saved my life."可知大多数人
都没有从这样的疾病中活过来,她的队友们给她进行及时的心脏复苏,以及一系列的救治,把她救了回来,
因此她觉得自己很幸运,故选C。
58.B 【解析】推理判断题。Taylor 根据自己所学的CPR 知识及时挽救了Paris 的生命,虽然当时有所犹豫,但是很
快地进行CPR 抢救,说明她很勇敢,很镇静,不慌不忙,不像其他孩子那样陷入惊慌之中,故选B。
5. 【2017·天津卷,B】
Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的)
view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take
the best photo of this panorama.
Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of
my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.
Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I
grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have
asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess
with that.
Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And
now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its
own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.
This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in
my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom
wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……
永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.
Perhaps we all live in each others’ spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate
beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.
That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a
thin square of glass.
41. What happened when the author was about to take a photo?
A. Her camera stopped working.
B. A woman blocked her view.
C. Someone asked her to leave.
D. A friend approached from behind.

6.【2017·浙江卷,A】
Benjamin West, the father of American painting, showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age. But he
did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one. In those days, a brush was made from camel’s hair.
There were no camels nearby. Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to
make a brush.
The brush did not last long. Soon Benjamin needed more fur. Before long, the cat began to look ragged(蓬乱). His
father said that the cat must be sick. Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing.
The cat’s lot was about to improve. That year, one of Benjamin’s cousins, Mr. Pennington, came to visit. He was
impressed with Benjamin’s drawings. When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also
sent six engravings(版画) by an artist. These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever
seen.
In 1747, when Benjamin was nine years old, Mr.Pennington returned for another visit. He was amazed at what
Benjamin had done with his gift. He asked Benjamin’s parents if he might take the boy back to Philadelphia for a visit.
In the city, Mr.Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings. The boy began a landscape( 风景)
painting. William Williams, a well-known painter, came to see him work. Williams was impressed with Benjamin and gave
him two classic books on painting to take home. The books were long and dull. Benjamin could read only a little, having
been a poor student. But he later said, "Those two books were my companions by day, and under my pillow at night."
While it is likely that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction to classical paintings. The
nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist.
21.What is the text mainly about?
A. Benjamin’s visit to Philadelphia.
B. Williams’ influence on Benjamin.
C. The beginning of Benjamin’s life as an artist.
D. The friendship between Benjamin and Pennington.
22.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 suggest?
A. The cat would be closely watched.

一、2019 年高考真题
1. 【2019·全国卷II,C】
Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach’s Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her
salad. What is she reading? None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel’s “me” time. And like more Americans, she’s not
alone.
A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half(53 percent)have breakfast alone
and nearly half(46 percent)have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore,74 percent,
according to statistics from the report.
“I prefer to go out and be out. Alone,but together,you know?”Bechtel said,looking up from her book. Bechtel,
who works in downtown West Palm Beach,has lunch with coworkers sometimes,but like many of us,too often works
through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She returns to
work feeling energized. “Today,I just wanted some time to myself,”she said.
Just two seats over,Andrew Mazoleny,a local videographer,is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit
and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he's on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little
interaction( 交流). “I reflect on how my day's gone and think about the rest of the week,” he said. “It's a chance for
self-reflection, You return to work recharged and with a plan.”
That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt
awkward about asking for a table for one,but those days are over. Now,we have our smartphones to keep us company at the
table. “It doesn't feel as alone as it may have before al the advances in technology,” said Laurie Demerit,whose company
provided the statistics for the report.

A. Food variety
B. Eating habits.

For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.
【公众号:实用视界 +VX:18071191557】
第79 页共218 页
"It's no secret that China has always been a source(来源)of inspiration for designers," says Amanda Hill, chief creative
officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚)shows.
Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired
fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学)on
Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance,
showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.
"China is impossible to overlook," says Hill. "Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell
dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to
its movement. "Of course, only are today's top Western designers being influenced by China-some of the best designers of
contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese." Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galiano, Albaz, Marc
Jacobs-and beating them hands down in design and sales," adds Hil.
For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. "The most famous
designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers," she says. "China is no longer just another market; in
many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China-its influences, its
direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways."
24. What can we learn about the exhibition in New York?
A. It promoted the sales of artworks.
B. It attracted a large number of visitors.
C. It showed ancient Chinese clothes.
D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models.
25. What does Hill say about Chinese women?
A. They are setting the fashion.
B. They start many fashion campaigns.
C. They admire super models.
D. They do business all over the world.
26. What do the underlined words "taking on" in paragraph 4 mean?
A. learning from
B. looking down on
C. working with
D. competing against
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Young Models Selling Dreams to the World
B. A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New York
C. Differences Between Eastern and Western Aesthetics
D. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends
【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲了中国文化对世界时尚届的影响,中国年轻的设计师和模特如何最

结合全文内容,可知这篇文章最恰当的题目是“中国文化助力国际时尚潮流”,故选D。
3. 【2019·天津卷,D】
Would you BET on the future of this man?He is 53 years old. Most of his adult life has been a losing struggle against
debt and misfortune. A war injury has made his left hand stop functioning,and he has often been in prison. Driven by
heaven-knows-what motives,he determines to write a book.
The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world for more than 350 years. That former prisoner was
Cervantes,and the book was Don Quixote(《堂吉诃德》). And the story poses an interesting question: why do some people
discover new vitality and creativity to the end of their days,while others go to seed long before?
We've all known people who run out of steam before they reach life's halfway mark. I'm not talking about those who
fail to get to the top. We can't all get there. I'm talking about people who have stopped learning on growing because they
have adopted the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing years.

Most of us,in fact,progressively narrow the variety of our lives. We succeed in our field of specialization and then
become trapped in it. Nothing surprises us. We lose our sense of wonder. But,if we are willing to lean,the opportunities are
everywhere.
The things we learn in maturity seldom involve information and skills. We learn to bear with the things we can't change.
We learn to avoid self-pity. We learn that however much we try to please,some people are never going to love us-an idea
that troubles at first but is eventually relaxing.
With high motivation and enthusiasm ,we can keep on learning. Then we will know how important it is to have
meaning in our life. However,we can achieve meaning only if we have made a commitment to something larger than our
own little egos(自我),whether to loved ones,to fellow humans,to work,or to some moral concept.
Many of us equate(视……等同于)“commitment” with such “caring” occupations as teaching and nursing. But doing
any ordinary job as well as one can is in itself an admirable commitment. People who work toward such excellence whether
they are driving a truck,or running a store-make the world better just by being the kind of people they are. They've learned
life's most valuable lesson.
51. The passage starts with the story of Cervantes to show that_________.
A. loss of freedom stimulates one's creativity
B. age is not a barrier to achieving one's goal
C. misery inspires a man to fight against his fate
D. disability cannot stop a man's pursuit of success
52. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. End one's struggle for liberty.
B. Waste one's energy taking risks.
C. Miss the opportunity to succeed.
D. Lose the interest to continue learning.

A. Those who dare to try often get themselves trapped.
B. Those who tend to think back can hardly go ahead.
C. Opportunity favors those with a curious mind.
D. Opportunity awaits those with a cautious mind.
54. What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 5?
A. A tough man can tolerate suffering.
B. A wise man can live without self-pity
C. A man should try to satisfy people around him.
D. A man should learn suitable ways to deal with life
55. What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?
A. To provide guidance on leading a meaningful adult life.
B. To stress the need of shouldering responsibilities at work.
C. To state the importance of generating motivation for learning.
D. To suggest a way of pursuing excellence in our lifelong career.

Who cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washing machine?
Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes?
【公众号:实用视界 +VX:18071191557】
第81 页共218 页
It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people's opinions. However, they have real impacts,
as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.
The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet, has
made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so "yesterday" that they should try to live on ideas. This
belief in "post-industrial society" has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector( 制造业) with negative
consequences for their economies.
Even more worryingly, the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international
community to worry about the "digital divide" between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies
and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities. The question,
however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable
things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have
improved people's lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am
not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes
without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.
In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the
technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a "borderless world". As a
result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the
result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a
world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital,
labour and goods, with poor results.
Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national
and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with
the latest, and our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong
directions.
61. Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to __________.
A. a lack of confidence in technology
B. a slow progress in technology
C. a conflict of public opinions
D. a waste of limited resources
62. The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should __________.
A. take people's essential needs into account
B. make their programmes attractive to people
C. ensure that each child gets financial support
D. provide more affordable internet facilities
63. What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations?
A. Neglecting the impacts of technological advances.
B. Believing that the world has become borderless.
C. Ignoring the power of economic development.
D. Over-emphasizing the role of international communication.
64. What can we learn from the passage?
A. People should be encouraged to make more donations.
B. Traditional technology still has a place nowadays.
C. Making right career choices is crucial to personal success.
D. Economic policies should follow technological trends.
【语篇解读】本文属于议论文,讲述对信息技术的过分迷恋对国家,对个人,对慈善事业都会有不利的影响。
61.D 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段However, they have reak impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce

建网络中心,还不如给钱打井,铺电网或者生产他们买得起的洗衣机,这些东西更能改善他们的生活。作者不是说
这些东西一定更重要,但是很多捐赠者没有仔细考虑捐赠的东西的长期成本,因此作者建议捐赠者要考虑接受捐赠

二、2018 年高考真题
1.【2018·全国I,C】
Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a
lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系)groups developed their
own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world
had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became
more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and
the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades,
all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are
increasingly taking over.
At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general
rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often
spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2 400; and Asia and the
Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数)of
speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of, 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers
left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers),Chiapaneco in Mexico(150), Lipan Apache in the
United States(two or three)or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance
of survival.
28. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?
A. They developed very fast.
B. They were large in number.
C. They had similar patterns.
D. They were closely connected.
29. Which of the following best explains "dominant " underlined in paragraph 2?
A. Complex.
B. Advanced.
C. Powerful.
D. Modern.
30. How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present?
A. About 6,800
B. About 3,400
C. About 2,400
D. About 1,200
31. What is the main idea of the text?
A. New languages will be created.
B. People’s lifestyles are reflected in languages.
C. Human development results in fewer languages.
D. Geography determines language evolution.
【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述了随着社会的发展人类语言越来越少及其原因。
28.B 【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly
knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other... when the world had just five to
ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.可知,当世界以依靠狩猎为生的人居住的时候,
小而联系紧密的群落形成了他们彼此之间独立的讲话模式。当世界上的人口数量不到一千万时,语言种类达到了
12000 种。由此推知,当时的语言种类很多。故选B。

Many of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful
and sweet jewels form British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.
Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a
little more protein ( 蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in
antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into
vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in
vitamin C.
When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit
shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the
skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will
prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of
the freezer.
If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve”
creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party; they love feeding the fruit and
frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.
24. What does the author seem to like about cherries?
A. They contain protein.
B. They are high in vitamin A.
C. They have a pleasant taste.
D. They are rich in antioxidants.

Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published
Monday.
While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains
a big part of many children’s lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.
According to the report’s key findings, “the proportion (比例) who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8

第84 页共218 页
percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.”
The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2—8, remain largely the same. But the
amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per
session.
When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel(建议) parents looking for data about the
effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to
concerns about increased screen time.
The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important
guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to
infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and
parents who set aside time for them to read.
As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom(逼近) ahead, parents might take this chance
to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.
28. What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?
A. Children’s reading habits.
B. Quality of children’s books.
C. Children’s after-class activities.
D. Parent-child relationships.
29. Where can you find the data that best supports "children are reading a lot less for fun"?
A. In paragraph 2.
B. In paragraph 3.
C. In paragraph 4.
D. In paragraph 5.
30. Why do many parents limit electronic reading?
A. E-books are of poor quality.
B. It could be a waste of time.
C. It may harm children’s health.
D. E-readers are expensive.
31. How should parents encourage their children to read more?
A. Act as role models for them.
B. Ask then to write book reports.
C. Set up reading groups for them.
D. Talk with their reading class teachers.

Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid is used to grilling guests on the sofa every morning, but she is cooking up a
storm in her latest role — showing families how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals on a tight budget.
In Save Money: Good Food, she visits a different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top

We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply
focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.
What’s the problem? It’s possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It’s more likely that
none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the
next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable
social practice that results in big benefits.
Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t
even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease(润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo
Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. "Almost every great love story and
each big business deal begins with small talk,"he explains. "The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect
with others, not just communicate with them."
In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee
shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The
results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee
shop experience. "It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband, "
says Dunn. "But
interactions with peripheral(边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also."
Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with
others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. "Small talk is the basis of good
manners,"he says.
32. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?

【解析】主旨大意题。题干问的是:第一段描述了什么现象。在公共场合(比如在电梯里,在银行排队,或
在飞机上)人们深深地专注于他们的智能手机,或者更糟糕的是,与不舒服的沉默抗争。有此可知,陌生人之间缺
乏沟通。A 项意为:沉迷于智能手机。B 项意为:在公共场所不适当的行为。C 项意为:陌生人之间缺乏沟通。D 项
意为:对缓慢的服务不耐烦。故选C 项。
33.B
【解析】推理判断题。题干问得是对于Carducci 来说,成功的闲聊中重要的是什么。根据第三段最后一句“The
key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them”(成功闲聊的关键是
学习如何与他们交流,而不仅仅是与他们沟通。)由此推断C 符合题意。A 项意为:表现出良好的礼貌。B 项意为:

服务员聊天的人,有显著的积极情绪和更好的咖啡店体验。由此可知,D 项符合题意。A 项意为:闲聊改善了家庭
关系。B 项意为:闲聊提高了人们的信心。C 项意为:闲聊和正式谈话一样重要。D 项意为:闲聊让人感觉很好。故
选D 项。
35.C
【解析】主旨大意题。整篇文章刚开始介绍了社会的现象(公共场合人们沉迷于智能手机,陌生人之间缺乏
沟通交流),接着分析了这一问题的原因,接下来有专家对闲聊进行了研究,最后得出结论,闲聊都有什么样的好
处。A 项意为:谈话很重要。B 项意为:闲聊的方法。C 项意为:闲聊的好处。D 项意为:不舒服的沉默。故选C 项。
点睛:我们在做阅读理解时,尽量找出每段的主讲内容(可能是一句话或是一个短语),这样有利于整篇文章的把
握,有利于做文章大意题。如35 题,很显然本文讲的不是重要性也不是方法更不是沉默,所以ABD 都可以轻松排
除。

Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often assume that more is more when it
comes to kids and their belongings? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more
with less.
I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things, and it worked. Because
of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay
for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the
money into her school fund(基金)(our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor).
For weeks, I've been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train
ourselves to help them live with, need, and use less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own
theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy
would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball-simple, universally available.
We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it. It was totally,
completely enough for him. Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.
We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had his. My little
experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.
32. What do the words “more is more” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. The more, the better.
B. Enough is enough.
C. More money, more worries.
D. Earn more and spend more.
33. What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects?
A. Saving up for her holiday
B. Raising money for a poor girl
C. Adding the money to her fund
D. Giving the money to a sick mother
34. Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd?
A. To try out an idea

As cultural symbols go, the American car is quite young. The Model T Ford was built at the Piquette Plant in
Michigan a century ago, with the first rolling off the assembly line(装配线)on September 27, 1908. Only eleven cars were
produced the next month. But eventually Henry Ford would build fifteen million of them.
Modern America was born on the road, behind a wheel. The car shaped some of the most lasting aspects of American
culture: the roadside diner, the billboard, the motel, even the hamburger. For most of the last century, the car
represented what it meant to be American—going forward at high speed to find new worlds. The road novel, the road
movie, these are the most typical American ideas, born of abundant petrol, cheap cars and a never-ending interstate
highway system, the largest public works project in history.
In 1928 Herbert Hoover imagined an America with “a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.” Since then, this
society has moved onward, never looking back, as the car transformed America from a farm-based society into an
industrial power.
The cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological disaster. In America the demand for
oil has grown by 22 percent since 1990.
The problems of excessive(过度的)energy consumption, climate change and population growth have been described
in a book by the American writer Thomas L. Friedman. He fears the worst, but hopes for the best.
Friedman points out that the green economy(经济)is a chance to keep American strength. “The ability to design, build
and export green technologies for producing clean water, clean air and healthy and abundant food is going to be the
currency of power in the new century.”
28. Why is hamburger mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To explain Americans’ love for travelling by car.
B. To show the influence of cars on American culture.
C. To stress the popularity of fast food with Americans.
D. To praise the effectiveness of America’s road system.
29. What has the use of cars in America led to?
A. Decline of economy.
B. Environmental problems.
C. A shortage of oil supply.
D. A farm-based society.
30. What is Friedman’s attitude towards America’s future?
A. Ambiguous.
B. Doubtful.
C. Hopeful.
D. Tolerant.
【文章大意】文章讲述了汽车在美国经济和文化上的重要作用,也指出了汽车带来的环境问题。
28.B
【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段Modern America was born on the road, behind a wheel. The car shaped some of
the most lasting aspects of American culture: the roadside diner, the billboard, the motel, even the hamburger.可知现代美
国诞生于公路和汽车,汽车塑造了美国文化最持久的一些方面。Hamburger 就是汽车塑造的美国文化的一个方面。
用这个例子是在说明汽车对美国文化的影响,故选B。
29.B 【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段The cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological
disaster.可知美国汽车的迅速发展,导致生态灾难。故选B。
30.C 【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的He fears the worst, but hopes for the best. 和最后一段中的Friedman
points out that the green economy(经济)is a chance to keep American strength.可见Friedman 虽然对未来担心,但抱
有最好的希望,他指出了发展绿色积极的想法。可见Friedman 对未来是充满希望的,故选C。

If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions.
Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is filled with fascination, newness and
wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we
are numb(麻木的)to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple,
although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.
The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks
awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going
to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and
they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted
they’d felt cold water at first.
Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who
spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off. They no
longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.
The pressures of "time" and "destination" are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were
headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a
bit, to take a moment to see what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said. They
seemed bent on their destinations.
Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the
sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.
51. According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more ____________.
A. anxious to do wonders
B. sensitive to others’ feelings
C. likely to develop unpleasant habits
D. eager to explore the world around them
52. What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?
A. To avoid jumping to conclusions.
B. To stop complaining all the time.
C. To follow the teacher’s advice.
D. To admit mistakes honestly.
53. The bird watchers’ behavior shows that they __________.
A. are very patient in their observation
B. are really fascinated by nature
C. care only about the names of birds
D. question the accuracy of the field guides
54. Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?
A. The natural beauty isn’t attractive to them.
B. They focus on arriving at the camp in time.
C. The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.
D. They are keen to see rare birds at the destination.
55. In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should __________.

Preparing Cities for Robot Cars
The possibility of self-driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurist’s dream, years away from materializing in the
real world. Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April
for companies to test truly self-driving cars on public roads. The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out
self-driving cars, and for companies to operate driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isn’t leading the way
here. Companies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country. It’s hard to predict when driverless cars will
be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our transportation
systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is regulated.
While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars(and rightfully so), policymakers also
should be talking about how self-driving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions( 排放) and offer more
convenient, affordable mobility options. The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are
environmentally friendly and more shared.
Do we want to copy — or even worsen — the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a future where most adults
own individual self-driving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they
can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which encourages urban spread. They take their driverless car to an
appointment and set the empty vehicle to circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to
pick up a child or the dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The convenience even leads fewer people to take
public transport — an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ride-hailing(叫车) services.
A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrol-powered private cars worldwide with
electric, self-driving and shared systems could reduce carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of
transportation infrastructure(基础设施) and operations 40% by 2050. Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty
appealing. The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ride-hailing services,
considering the cost of self-driving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues(责任与维护问题). But driverless
car ownership could increase as the prices drop and more people become comfortable with the technology.
Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless vehicles doesn’t extend
the worst aspects of the car-controlled transportation system we have today. The coming technological advancement
presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more
affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it.

If you want to disturb the car industry, you'd better have a few billion dollars: Mom-and-pop carmakers are unlikely to
beat the biggest car companies. But in agriculture, small farmers can get the best of the major players. By connecting
directly with customers, and by responding quickly to changes in the markets as well as in the ecosystems(生态系统),
small farmers can keep one step ahead of the big guys. As the co-founder of the National Young Farmers Coalition (NYFC,
美国青年农会)and a family farmer myself. I have a front-row seat to the innovations among small farmers that are
transforming the industry.
For example, take the Quick Cut Greens Harvester, a tool developed just a couple of years ago by a young farmer,
Jonathan Dysinger, in Tennessee, with a small loan from a local Slow Money group. It enables small-scale farmers to
harvest 175 pounds of green vegetables per hour—a huge improvement over harvesting just a few dozen pounds by
hand—suddenly making it possible for the little guys to compete with large farms of California. Before the tool came out,
small farmers couldn't touch the price per pound offered by California farms. But now, with the combination of a better
price point and a generally fresher product, they can stay in business.
The sustainable success of small farmers, though, won't happen without fundamental changes
to the industry. One crucial factor is secure access to land. Competition from investors. developers, and established large
farmers makes owning one's own land unattainable for many new farmers.
From 2004 to 2013, agricultural land values doubled, and they continue to rise in many regions.
Another challenge for more than a million of the most qualified farm workers and managers is a non-existent path to
citizenship — the greatest barrier to building a farm of their own. With farmers over the age of 65 outnumbering(多于)
farmers younger than 35 by six to one, and with two-thirds of the nation's farmland in need of a new farmer, we must clear
the path for talented people willing to grow the nation's food.
There are solutions that could light a path toward a more sustainable and fair farm economy, but farmers can't
clumsily put them together before us. We at the NYFC need broad support as we urge Congress to increase farmland
conservation, as we push for immigration reform, and as we seek policies that will ensure the success of a diverse and
ambitious next generation of farms from all backgrounds. With a new farm bill to be debated in Congress, consumers must
take a stand with young farmers.
61. The author mentions car industry at the beginning of the passage to introduce
.
A. the progress made in car industry
B. a special feature of agriculture
C. a trend of development in agriculture
D. the importance of investing in car industry
62. What does the author want to illustrate with the example in paragraph 2?
A. Loans to small local farmers are necessary.
B. Technology is vital for agricultural development.
C. Competition between small and big farms is fierce
D. Small farmers may gain some advantages over big ones.
63. What is the difficulty for those new famers?
A. To gain more financial aid.
B. To hire good farm managers.
C. To have fans of their own.
D. To win old farmers’ support.
64. What should farmers do for a more sustainable and fair farm economy?
A. Seek support beyond NYFC.
B. Expand farmland conservation.
C. Become members of NYFC.

三、2017 年高考真题
1. 【2017·全国卷I,C】
Some of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual
International Jazz Day. UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a
day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures.
Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has
failed to connect with younger generations.
It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the
audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.
"Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite,"Moran tells National Public Radio’s reporter Neal
Conan. "What I’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is
not black and white anymore. It’s actually color, and it’s actually digital."
Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost.
"The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the
world works is not the same,"says Moran.
Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, "just to kind of put it back
in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music, "
says Moran.
"For me, it’s the
recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any insight(感悟) on how to
talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions
and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,"says Moran, "so I want to continue
those dialogues. Those are the things I want to foster."
28. Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?
A. To remember the birth of jazz.
B. To protect cultural diversity.
C. To encourage people to study music.
D. To recognize the value of jazz.
29. What does the underlined word "that"in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Jazz becoming more accessible.
B. The production of jazz growing faster.
C. Jazz being less popular with the young.
D. The jazz audience becoming larger.
30. What can we infer about Moran’s opinion on jazz?
A. It will disappear gradually.
B. It remains black and white.
C. It should keep up with the times.
D. It changes every 50 years.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Exploring the Future of Jazz

B. The Rise and Fall of Jazz
C. The Story of a Jazz Musician
D. Celebrating the Jazz Day

能挽救爵士乐。Jason Moran 认为时代在进步,为了将老一代人和年轻一代人连接起来,爵士乐也应该不断进步。
28. D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中的UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization)
recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice
across cultures.可知UNESCO 把4 月30 日定为国际爵士日是为了让人们重视爵士乐,意识到它的重要性以及它作为
连接各文化的纽带之声的潜在功能,也就是为了让人们意识到爵士乐的价值。故选D。
29. C
【解析】推理判断题。根据前文Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink
and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations 可知尽管UNESCO 为爵士乐设了纪念日,
但美国的爵士乐听众依然在减少,并且年龄在老化,爵士乐没能将年轻一代人连接起来。再结合It’s Jason Moran’s job
to help change that(Jason Moran 的工作帮助改变了那一情况)可推测that 指代的是前文中爵士乐在年轻一代人中失去
吸引力的现象。故选C。
30. C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第五段中的The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to
continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same 可知Moran 认为现在爵士乐不能以1908 或1958 年
的方式来呈现,因为世界已经不同了,所以爵士乐必须不断进步,说明随着时代的发展,爵士乐也要跟上时代才不
会被年轻一代所抛弃。故选C。
31. A
【解析】标题选择题。通读全文可知本文主要讲UNESCO 为提高人们对爵士乐的重视而设立爵士日,但实际
收效甚微。有人认为爵士乐应随着时代的进步而进步,否则它将失去对人们的吸引力,因此本文主要是探索爵士乐
的未来,故选A。

Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and
gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater’s 75-year history. This time, however,
the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats
and other theater equipment in preparation for the building’s end.
The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old,
most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building. Theater owner Ed
Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie
theater is preparing to close down.
Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the
theater’s location(位置) was also a reason. "This used to be the center of town,"he said. "Now the area is mostly
office buildings and warehouses."
Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public
meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land
to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.
The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years the Plaza Theater had
shown its last movie. The theater will be missed.
24. In what way was yesterday’s cleanup at the Plaza special?
A. It made room for new equipment.
B. It signaled the closedown of the theater.
C. It was done with the help of the audience.
D. It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater.
25. Why was The Last Picture Show put on?
A. It was an all-time classic.
B. It was about the history of the town.
C. The audience requested it.
D. The theater owner found it suitable.
26. What will probably happen to the building?
A. It will be repaired.
B. It will be turned into a museum.
C. It will be knocked down.
D. It will be sold to the city government.
27. What can we infer about the audience?
A. They are disappointed with Bradford.
B. They are sad to part with the old theater.
C. They are supportive of the city officials.
D. They are eager to have a shopping center.

A new commodity brings about a highly profitable, fast-growing industry, urging antitrust(反垄断) regulators to step
in to check those who control its flow. A century ago, the resource in question was oil. Now similar concerns are being
raised by the giants( 巨头) that deal in data, the oil of the digital age. The most valuable firms are Google, Amazon,
Facebook and Microsoft. All look unstoppable.
Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken up. But size alone is not a crime. The giants’ success
has benefited consumers. Few want to live without search engines or a quick delivery. Far from charging consumers high
prices, many of these services are free (users pay, in effect, by handing over yet more data). And the appearance of
new-born giants suggests that newcomers can make waves, too.
But there is cause for concern. The internet has made data abundant, all-present and far more valuable, changing the
nature of data and competition. Google initially used the data collected from users to target advertising better. But recently
it has discovered that data can be turned into new services: translation and visual recognition, to be sold to other
companies. Internet companies’ control of data gives them enormous power. So they have a "God’s eye view" of activities
in their own markets and beyond.
This nature of data makes the antitrust measures of the past less useful. Breaking up firms like Google into five small
ones would not stop remaking themselves: in time, one of them would become great again. A rethink is required — and as
a new approach starts to become apparent, two ideas stand out.
The first is that antitrust authorities need to move from the industrial age into the 21st century. When considering a
merger(兼并), for example, they have traditionally used size to determine when to step in. They now need to take into
account the extent of firms’ data assets(资产) when assessing the impact of deals. The purchase price could also be a
signal that an established company is buying a new-born threat. When this takes place, especially when a new-born
company has no revenue to speak of, the regulators should raise red flags.
The second principle is to loosen the control that providers of on-line services have over data and give more to those
who supply them. Companies could be forced to reveal to consumers what information they hold and how much money
they make from it. Governments could order the sharing of certain kinds of data, with users’ consent.
Restarting antitrust for the information age will not be easy. But if governments don’t want a data economy controlled
by a few giants, they must act soon.
61. Why is there a call to break up giants?
A. They have controlled the data market.
B. They collect enormous private data.
C. They no longer provide free services.
D. They dismissed some new-born giants.
62. What does the technological innovation in Paragraph 3 indicate?
A. Data giants’ technology is very expensive.
B. Google’s idea is popular among data firms.
C. Data can strengthen giants’ controlling position.
D. Data can be turned into new services or products.
63. By paying attention to firms’ data assets, antitrust regulators could
.
A. kill a new threat
B. avoid the size trap
C. favour bigger firms
D. charge higher prices
64. What is the purpose of loosening the giants’ control of data?
A. Big companies could relieve data security pressure.
B. Governments could relieve their financial pressure.
C. Consumers could better protect their privacy.
D. Small companies could get more opportunities.

This month, Germany’s transport minister, Alexander Dobrindt, proposed the first set of rules for autonomous
vehicles(自主驾驶车辆). They would define the driver’s role in such cars and govern how such cars perform in crashes
where lives might be lost.
The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the “death valley” of autonomous vehicles: the grey area between
semi-autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driverless future.
Dobrindt wants three things: that a car always chooses property(财产) damage over personal injury; that it never
distinguishes between humans based on age or race; and that if a human removes his or her hands from the driving wheel
— to check email, say — the car’s maker is responsible if there is a crash.
“The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic driving,” says Dobrindt. It will put fully driverless cars on
an equal legal footing to human drivers, he says.
Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not clear among car makers, consumers and lawyers. “The
liability(法律责任) issue is the biggest one of them all,” says Natasha Merat at the University of Leeds, UK.
An assumption behind UK insurance for driverless cars, introduced earlier this year, insists that a human “be watchful
and monitoring the road” at every moment.
But that is not what many people have in mind when thinking of driverless cars. “When you say ‘driverless cars’,
people expect driverless cars.” Merat says. “You know — no driver.”
Because of the confusion, Merat thinks some car makers will wait until vehicles can be fully automated without
human operation.
Driverless cars may end up being a form of public transport rather than vehicles you own, says Ryan Calo at Stanford
University, California. That is happening in the UK and Singapore, where government-provided driverless vehicles are being
launched.
That would go down poorly in the US, however. “The idea that the government would take over driverless cars and
treat them as a public good would get absolutely nowhere here,” says Calo.
46. What does the phrase “death valley” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A place where cars often break down.
B. A case where passing a law is impossible.
C. An area where no driving is permitted.
D. A situation where drivers’ role is not clear.
47. The proposal put forward by Dobrindt aims to _____________.
A. stop people from breaking traffic rules
B. help promote fully automatic driving
C. protect drivers of all ages and races
D. prevent serious property damage
48. What do consumers think of the operation of driverless cars?
A. It should get the attention of insurance companies.
B. It should be the main concern of law makers.
C. It should not cause deadly traffic accidents.
D. It should involve no human responsibility.
49. Driverless vehicles in public transport see no bright future in ____________.
A. Singapore
B. the UK
C. the US
D. Germany
50. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Autonomous Driving: Whose Liability?
B. Fully Automatic Cars: A New Breakthrough
C. Autonomous Vehicles: Driver Removed!
D. Driverless Cars: Root of Road Accidents

I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing all of this waiting, and what
does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the issue, let’s take a look at three types of “waits”.
The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most annoying of all. Take filling up
the kitchen sink(洗碗池) as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes
fixed on the sink until it’s full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water
runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.
A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged
noodle soup requires a Forced Wait. Directions are very specific. “Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer three
minutes, remove from heat, let stand five minutes.” I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures
strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires patience.
Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the
most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily
mean that it will happen.
Turning one’s life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optimists among us. On the
surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who
are willing to do it. As long as one doesn’t come to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.
We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time you’re standing at the sink waiting for it to fill
while cooking noodle soup that you’ll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, don’t be desperate. You’re
probably just as busy as the next guy.
51. While doing a Watched-Pot Wait, we tend to __________.
A. keep ourselves busy
B. get absent-minded
C. grow anxious
D. stay focused
52. What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?
A. The Forced Wait requires some self-control.
B. The Forced Wait makes people passive.
C. The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions.
D. The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain.
53. What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait?
A. It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait.
B. It doesn’t always bring the desired result.
C. It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait.
D. It doesn’t give people faith and hope.
54. What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting?
A. Take it seriously.
B. Don’t rely on others.
C. Do something else.
D. Don’t lose heart.
55. The author supports his view by __________.
A. exploring various causes of “waits”
B. describing detailed processes of “waits”
C. analyzing different categories of “waits”
D. revealing frustrating consequences of “waits”

Getting less sleep has become a bad habit for most American kids. According to a new survey(调查)by the National
Sleep Foundation, 51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 pm or later on school nights, even though they have to get up
early. Last year the Foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7- to 12-year-olds said they felt tired during the day, and 15%
said they had fallen asleep at school.
How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age. Babies need a lot of rest; most of them sleep about 18 hours a
day! Adults need about eight hours. For most school-age children, ten hours is ideal(理想的). But the new National Sleep
Foundation survey found that 35% of 10- to 12-year-olds get only seven or eight hours. And guess what almost half of the
surveyed kids said they do before bedtime? Watch TV.
"More children are going to bed with TVs on, and there are more opportunities( 机会)to stay awake, with more
homework, the Internet and the phone," says Dr. Mary Carskadon, a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School.
She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep. Other
experts say part of the problem is chemical. Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones not only make teenagers’
bodies develop adult characteristics, but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 pm.
Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers, some school districts have decided to start high school classes
later than they used to. Three years ago, schools in Edina, Minnesota, changed the start time from 7:25 am to 8:30 am.
Students, parents and teachers are pleased with the results.
25.What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on?
A. American kids’ sleeping habits.
B. Teenagers’ sleep-related diseases.
C. Activities to prevent sleeplessness.
D. Learning problems and lack of sleep.
26.How many hours of sleep do 11-year-olds need every day?
A.7 hours.
B.8 hours.
C.10 hours.
D.18 hours.
27.Why do teenagers go to sleep late according to Carskadon?
A. They are affected by certain body chemicals.
B. They tend to do things that excite them.
C. They follow their parents’ examples.
D. They don’t need to go to school early.

1. 【2019·全国卷I,C】
As data and identity theft becomes more and more common, the market is growing for biometric( 生物测
量)technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e-spaces. At present, these technologies are still
expensive, though.
Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device(装置)that gets around this problem:
a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence(节奏)with which one types and the pressure fingers
apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user's typing
and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people's
identities, and by extension, whether they should be given access to the computer it's connected to—regardless of whether
someone gets the password right.
It also doesn't require a new type of technology that people aren't already familiar with. Everybody uses a keyboard and
everybody types differently.
In a study describing the technology, the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch”four times using the
smart keyboard. Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed,
with very low error rates. The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is
mostly made of inexpensive, plastic-like parts. The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.
28. Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?
A. To reduce pressure on keys.
B. To improve accuracy in typing
C. To replace the password system.
D. To cut the cost of e-space protection.
29. What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?
A. Computers are much easier to operate.
B. Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.
C. Typing patterns vary from person to person.
D. Data security measures are guaranteed.
30. What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?all 1o soisgitieoco oll.
A. It'll be environment-friendly.
B. It'll reach consumers soon.
C. It'll be made of plastics.
D. It'll help speed up typing.

During the rosy years of elementary school(小学), I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes, which allowed me to keep my
high social status. I was the queen of the playground. Then came my tweens and teens, and mean girls and cool kids. They
rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jokes on others, among whom I
soon found myself.
Popularity is a well-explored subject in social psychology. Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psychology sorts the
popular into two categories: the likable and the status seekers. The likables’ plays-well-with-others qualities strengthen
schoolyard friendships, jump-start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, are employed ever after in life and work.
Then there’s the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence: status born of power and even dishonorable behavior.
Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed, Dr. Prinstein’s studies show unpleasant consequences. Those who were

第98 页共218 页
highest in status in high school, as well as those least liked in elementary school, are “most likely to engage( 从事)in
dangerous and risky behavior.”
In one study, Dr. Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235 adolescents, scoring the least liked, the most
liked and the highest in status based on student surveys(调查研究). “We found that the least well-liked teens had become
more aggressive over time toward their classmates. But so had those who were high in status. It clearly showed that while
likability can lead to healthy adjustment, high status has just the opposite effect on us."
Dr. Prinstein has also found that the qualities that made the neighbors want you on a play date-sharing, kindness,
openness — carry over to later years and make you better able to relate and connect with others.
In analyzing his and other research,Dr. Prinstein came to another conclusion: Not only is likability related to positive
life outcomes, but it is also responsible for those outcomes, too. "Being liked creates opportunities for learning and for new
kinds of life experiences that help somebody gain an advantage, ” he said.
32. What sort of girl was the author in her early years of elementary school?
A. Unkind.
B. Lonely.
C. Generous.
D. Cool.
33. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The classification of the popular.
B. The characteristics of adolescents.
C. The importance of interpersonal skills.
D. The causes of dishonorable behavior
34. What did Dr. Prinstein’s study find about the most liked kids?
A. They appeared to be aggressive.
B. They tended to be more adaptable.
C. They enjoyed the highest status.
D. They performed well academically.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. Be Nice-You Won’t Finish Last
B. The Higher the Status, the Beer
C. Be the Best-You Can Make It
D. More Self-Control, Less Aggressiveness
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲到研究表明,对别人好,讨人喜欢对人生活的各个方面有深远的有

Bacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts. The microorganisms(微生物) from our bodies grow uncontrollably on
surfaces of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week. How is NASA
overcoming this very tiny big problem? It’s turning to a bunch of high school kids. But not just any kids. It depending on
NASA HUNCH high school class, like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High
School in Fairport, New York.
HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers. For the past two years, Gordon’s
students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they’re close to a solution(解决方案). “We
don’t give the students any breaks. They have to do it just like NASA engineers,” says Florence Gold, a project manager.
“There are no tests,” Gordon says. “There is no graded homework. There almost are no grades, other than‘Are you
working towards your goal?’ Basically, it’s ‘I’ve got to produce this product and then, at the end of year, present it to
NASA.’ Engineers come and really do an in-person review, and…it’s not a very nice thing at time. It’s a hard business
review of your product.”
Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact(影响) on college admissions and practical life skills. “These kids are
so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back. I don’t teach.” And that annoying bacteria? Gordon says his students are
emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution to test in space.

Before the 1830smost newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $10 a year. Today
$8 or $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly,
newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them
that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the
1830s would change all that.
The trend, then, was toward the "penny paper"-a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant
any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the
street.
This development did not take place overnight. It had been possible(but not easy)to buy single copies of newspapers
before 1830,but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer's office to purchase a copy. Street sales were
almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first
the price of single copies was seldom a penny-usually two or three cents was charged-and some of the older well-known
papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase "penny paper " caught the public's fancy, and soon there would be papers
that did indeed sell for only a penny.
This new trend of newspapers for "the man on the street" did not begin well. Some of the early ventures(企业)were
immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change
the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.
28. Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s?
A. Academic.
B. Unattractive.
C. Inexpensive.
D. Confidential.
29. What did street sales mean to newspapers?
A. They would be priced higher.
B. They would disappear from cities.
C. They could have more readers.
D. They could regain public trust.
30. Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at?
A. Local politicians.
B. Common people.
C. Young publishers.
D. Rich businessmen.

31. What can we say about the birth of the penny paper?
A. It was a difficult process.
B. It was a temporary success.
C. It was a robbery of the poor.
D. It was a disaster for printers.
【语篇解读】本文为说明文。文章叙述了“便士报纸”的诞生历史。
28.B【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Before1830s,... Accordingly newspapers were read almost only by rich people.
In addition ,most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to mass audience. They were dull and visually
forbidding.”可知,在19 世纪30 年代之前,只有富人才能读报纸,而且大多数报纸中几乎没有能吸引大众的内容,让
人感觉无聊,,视觉上令人望而却步。由此可得出那时的报纸没有什么吸引力。分析选项,A . Academic 学术的;B.
Unattractive 没有吸引力,无魅力的;C. Inexpensive 廉价的,不贵的;D. Confidential 机密的,保密的。可知A、
C 和D 是错误的,只有B 符合题意,故选B。
29.C 【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段提到“便士报纸”针对大众,很便宜的。更重要的是,在街上可以买的到报纸。
结合第三段中间的“streets sales of newspapers would be commonplaced in eastern cities”可知,报纸的街头销售随处可
见。由此可推断出,街头销售意味读报纸的多了。分析选项可知C 符合题,故选C。
30.B 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The trend, then, was ‘penny paper’—a term referring to papers made widely
available to the public. perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.”可
知,这种“便士报纸”针对大众的,在街上可以买的到报纸。分析选项可知,选项B 符合题意,故选B。
31.A 【解析】推理判断题。第二段“The trend, then, was ‘penny paper’”及最后一段“The new trend of newspapers for ‘the
man on the street’ did not begin well. Some of the early ventures were immediately failures. Publishers already in business,
people who owners of successful papers, had little desires to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring
businessmen to get the ball rolling.”可知,“便士报纸”新趋势一开始并不好,一些早期的尝试立即失败了。已经进入商
业领域的成功的出版商,并不想改变这一传统。后来一些年轻而大胆的商人才推动了这件事。由此可推断出“便士报
纸”的诞生是一个困难而曲折的过程。分析选项可知,A 项符合题意,故选A。

Monkeys seem to have a way with numbers.
A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols consisting of numbers
and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys
combined—or added—the symbols to get the reward.
Here's how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In
their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the
other side two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the
other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops
of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers—17 in this example.
After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half
the time, indicating that they were performing a calculation, not just memorizing the value of each combination.
When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to
underestimate(低估)a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value—sometimes choosing, for
example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys
always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a fraction(小部分)of the smaller number to it.
"This indicates that there is a certain way quantity is represented in their brains, "Dr. Livingstone says. “But in this
experiment what they're doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one.”
32. What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them?
A. They fed them.
B. They named them.
C. They trained them.
D. They measured them.
33. How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment?
A. By drawing a circle.
B. By touching a screen.
C. By watching videos.
D. By mixing two drinks.
34. What did Livingstone's team find about the monkeys?
A. They could perform basic addition.
B. They could understand simple words.
C. They could memorize numbers easily.
D. They could hold their attention for long.
35. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Entertainment.
B. Health.
C. Education.
D. Science.

The problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don't know.
By next year,half of the calls we receive will be scams(欺诈).We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by
supporting and developing a group of tools ,apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through.
Unfortunately,it's too little,too late. By the time these “solutions"(解决方案)become widely available,scammers will have
moved onto cleverer means. In the near future,it's not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in
doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you're hearing is actually real.
That's because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation ( 处理) and automation technologies that are about
to become widely available for anyone to use .At this year's I/O Conference ,a company showed a new voice technology
able to produce such a convincing human –sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation
without detection.
These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse. The reason that robocalls are
a headache has less to do with amount than precision A decade of data breaches(数据侵入)of personal information has led
to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother 's name ,and far more. Armed with
this
knowledge. they're
able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means. for example,that a scammer could call you
from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller 's,ricking
you into "confirming " your address,mother's name,and card number. Scammers follow money,so companies will be the
worst hit. A lot of business is still done over the phone,and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships. Voice
manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.
We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together
to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark
videos and images, showing when and who they were made by. or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards
data-based communications—using apps like Face Time or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity.
Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going to harder from here on out.
38. How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robecalls?
A. Panicked.
B. Confused.
C. Embarrassed.
D. Disappointed.
39. taking advantage of the new technologies,scammer can______.
A. aim at victims precisely
B. damage databases easily
C. start campaigns rapidly
D. spread
information widely
40. What does the passage imply?
A. Honesty is the best policy.
B. Technologies can be double-edited.
C. There are more solutions than problems.
D. Credibility holds the key to development.
41. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Where the Problem of Robocalls Is Rooted
B. Who Is to Blame for the Problem of Roboealls
C. Why Robocalls Are About to Get More Dangerous
D. How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology

By the end of the century,if not sooner,the world's oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate,
according to a new study.
At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms(海洋微生物)called phytoplankton. Because of the way
light reflects off the organisms,these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface. Ocean colour varies from
green to blue ,depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton. Climate change will fuel the growth of
phytoplankton in some areas,while reducing it in other spots,leading to changes in the ocean's appearance.
Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface,where they pull carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)into the ocean while giving off
oxygen. When these organisms die,they bury carbon in the deep ocean,an important process that helps to regulate the
global climate. But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean's warming trend. Warming changes key characteristics of the
ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth,since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow,but also nutrients.
Stephanie Dutkiewicz,a scientist in MIT's Center for Global Change Science,built a climate model that projects
changes to the oceans throughout the century. In a world that warms up by 3℃,it found that multiple changes to the colour
of the oceans would occur. The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer.
But in some waters,such as those of the Arctic,a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton,and these areas
will turn greener. “Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing. ”she said ,“but the type of
phytoplankton is changing. ”
42. What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?
A. The various patterns at the ocean surface.
B. The cause of the changes in ocean colour.
C. The way light reflects off marine organisms.
D. The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.
43. What does the underlined word“vulnerable”in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Sensitive.
B. Beneficial
C. Significant
D. Unnoticeable
44. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Phytoplankton play a declining role in the marine ecosystem.
B. Dutkiewicz's model aims to project phytoplankton changes
C. Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate
D. Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.
45. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To assess the consequences of ocean colour changes
B. To analyse the composition of the ocean food chain
C. To explain the effects of climate change on oceans
D. To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton

How does an ecosystem(生态系统)work?What makes the populations of different species the way they are?Why
are there so many flies and so few wolves?To find an answer,scientists have built mathematical models of food webs,
noting who eats whom and how much each one eats.
With such models,scientists have found out some key principles operating in food webs. Most food webs,for instance,
consist of many weak links rather than a few strong ones. When a predator(掠食动物)always eats huge numbers of a single
prey(猎物),the two species are strongly linked;when a predator lives on various species,they are weakly linked. Food
webs may be dominated by many weak links because that arrangement is more stable over the long term. If a predator can
eat several species,it can survive the extinction(灭绝)of one of them. And if a predator can move on to another species that
is easier to find when a prey species becomes rare,the switch allows the original prey to recover. The weak links may thus
keep species from driving one another to extinction.
Mathematical models have also revealed that food webs may be unstable,where small changes of top predators can
lead to big effects throughout entire ecosystems. In the 1960s,scientists proposed that predators at the top of a food web had
a surprising amount of control over the size of populations of other species---including species they did not directly attack.
And unplanned human activities have proved the idea of top-down control by top predators to be true. In the ocean,we
fished for top predators such as cod on an industrial scale,while on land,we killed off large predators such as wolves. These
actions have greatly affected the ecological balance.
Scientists have built an early-warning system based on mathematical models. Ideally,the system would tell us when to
adapt human activities that are pushing an ecosystem toward a breakdown or would even allow us to pull an ecosystem back
from the borderline. Prevention is key,scientists says because once ecosystems pass their tipping point(临界点),it is
remarkably difficult for them to return.
46. What have scientists discovered with the help of mathematical models of food webs?
A. The living habits of species in food webs.
B. The rules governing food webs of the ecosystems.
C. The approaches to studying the species in the ecosystems.
D. The differences between weak and strong links in food webs.
47. A strong link is found between two species when a predator______
A. has a wide food choice
B. can easily find new prey
C. sticks to one prey species
D. can quickly move to another place
48. What will happen if the populations of top predators in a food web greatly decline?
A. The prey species they directly attack will die out.
B. The species they indirectly attack will turn into top predators.
C. The living environment of other species will remain unchanged.
D. The populations of other species will experience unexpected changes.
49. What conclusion can be drawn from the examples in Paragraph 4?
A. Uncontrolled human activities greatly upset ecosystems.
B. Rapid economic development threatens animal habitats.
C. Species of commercial value dominate other species.
D. Industrial activities help keep food webs stable.
50. How does an early-warning system help us maintain the ecological balance?
A. By getting illegal practices under control.
B. By stopping us from killing large predators.

In the 1960s,while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park,Bob Christiansen became puzzled
about something that,oddly,had not troubled anyone before:he couldn't find the park's volcano. It had been known for a
long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature — that's what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features.
But Christiansen couldn't find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.
Most of us,when we talk about volcanoes,think of the classic cone(圆锥体)shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro,which are
created when erupting magma(岩浆)piles up. These can form remarkably quickly. In 1943,a Mexican farmer was surprised
to see smoke rising from a small part of his land. In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high.
Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across. Altogether there
are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth,all but a few hundred of them extinct. There is,however,a second les
known type of volcano that doesn't involve mountain building. These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a
single big crack,leaving behind a vast hole,the caldera. Yellowstone obviously was of this second type,but Christiansen
couldn't find the caldera anywhere.
Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone. A
thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice
blow-up for one of the visitors' centers. As soon as Christiansen saw the photos,he realized why he had failed to spot the
caldera; almost the whole park-2.2 million acres—was caldera. The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles
across—much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown
up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.
58. What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone?
A. Its complicated geographical features.
B. Its ever-lasting influence on tourism.
C. The mysterious history of the park.
D. The exact location of the volcano.
59. What does the second-paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The shapes of volcanoes.
B. The impacts of volcanoes.
C. The activities of volcanoes.
D. The heights of volcanoes.
60. What does the underlined word "blow-up" in the last paragraph most probably mean?
A. Hot-air balloon.
B. Digital camera.
C. Big photograph.
D. Bird's view.

California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change
seems to be a major factor(因素).
The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of
California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra
Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by
more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.
Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick Mclntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study.
Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California
forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).
But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010,
Mclntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from
woodcutting or development.
The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured
out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much
they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融
雪).
Since the 1930s, Mclntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures,
which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees
during the dry season.
27. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.
B. The increasing variety of California big trees.
C. The distribution of big trees in California forests.
D. The influence of farming on big trees in California.
28. Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?
A. Ecological studies of forests.
B. Banning woodcutting.
C. Limiting housing development.
D. Fire control measures.
29. What is a major cause of the water shortage according to Mclntyre?
A. Inadequate snowmelt.
B. A longer dry season.
C. A warmer climate.
D. Dampness of the air.
30. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. California's Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?
B. Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon
C. Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?
D. Patrick Mclntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California

We may think we’re a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a
new study shows that we keep using our old devices ( 装置) well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the
environment – and our wallets – as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the
same things.
To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of
Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life – from when its minerals are
mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the
early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992.
Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before
tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.
As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn’t throw out our old ones. “The living-room television is replaced
and gets planted in the kids’ room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house,” said one researcher.
The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We’re not just keeping these
old devices – we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt’s team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with
cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions (排
放) more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.
So what’s the solution (解决方案)? The team’s data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what
would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet
for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs
and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.
32. What does the author think of new devices?
A. They are environment-friendly.
B. They are no better than the old.
C. They cost more to use at home.
D. They go out of style quickly.
33. Why did Babbitt’s team conduct the research?
A. To reduce the cost of minerals.
B. To test the life cycle of a product.
C. To update consumers on new technology.
D. To find out electricity consumption of the devices.
34. Which of the following uses the least energy?
A. The box-set TV.
B. The tablet.
C. The LCD TV.
D. The desktop computer.
35. What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices?
A. Stop using them.
B. Take them apart.
C. Upgrade them.
D. Recycle them.

Many of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful
and sweet jewels form British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.
Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a
little more protein ( 蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in
antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into
vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in
vitamin C.
When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit
shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the
skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will
prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of
the freezer.
If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve”
creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party; they love feeding the fruit and
frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.
24. What does the author seem to like about cherries?
A. They contain protein.
B. They are high in vitamin A.
C. They have a pleasant taste.
D. They are rich in antioxidants.
25. Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?
A. To make them smell better.
B. To keep their colour.
C. To speed up their ripening.
D. To improve their nutrition.
26. What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?
A. A dessert.

Cities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places
because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a
large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million.
But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896,
Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one
of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.
Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They
travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with
thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For
many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for
gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.
But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very
expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed
people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson

Plastic-Eating Worms
Humans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋
场), and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests
an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.
Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break down
polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping
bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the
worms’ chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into

paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass — apparently broken down
by enzymes (酶) from the worms’ stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017.
Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms’ ability to break down their everyday food — beeswax —
also allows them to break down plastic.
"Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the
carbon-carbon bond, is there as well, "she explains, "The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this
bond. "
Jennifer DeBruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not
surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of
breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an
enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?
Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team’s findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break down plastics in
landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process — not simply "millions of worms thrown
on top of the plastic. "
43. What can we learn about the worms in the study?
A. They take plastics as their everyday food.
B. They are newly evolved creatures.
C. They can consume plastics.
D. They wind up in landfills.
44. According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to
.
A. identify other means of the breakdown
B. find out the source of the enzyme
C. confirm the research findings
D. increase the breakdown speed
45. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might
.
A. help to raise worms
B. help make plastic bags
C. be used to clean the oceans
D. be produced in factories in future
46. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain a study method on worms.
B. To introduce the diet of a special worm.
C. To present a way to break down plastics.
D. To propose new means to keep eco-balance.

There’s a new frontier in 3D printing that’s beginning to come into focus: food. Recent development has made
possible machines that print, cook, and serve foods on a mass scale. And the industry isn’t stopping there.
Food production
With a 3D printer, a cook can print complicated chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on a wedding
cake. Not everybody can do that — it takes years of experience, but a printer makes it easy. A restaurant in Spain uses a
Foodini to “re-create forms and pieces” of food that are “exactly the same,” freeing cooks to complete other tasks. In
another restaurant, all of the dishes and desserts it serves are 3D-printed, rather than farm to table.
【公众号:实用视界 +VX:18071191557】
第110 页共218 页
Sustainability(可持续性)
The global population is expected to grow to 9.6 billion by 2050, and some analysts estimate that food production will
need to be raised by 50 percent to maintain current levels. Sustainability is becoming a necessity. 3D food printing could
probably contribute to the solution. Some experts believe printers could use hydrocolloids ( 水解胶体) from plentiful
renewables like algae(藻类) and grass to replace the familiar ingredients(烹饪原料). 3D printing can reduce fuel use and
emissions. Grocery stores of the future might stock "food" that lasts years on end, freeing up shelf space and reducing
transportation and storage requirements.
Nutrition
Future 3D food printers could make processed food healthier. Hod Lipson, a professor at Columbia University, said,
“Food printing could allow consumers to print food with customized nutritional content, like vitamins. So instead of eating
a piece of yesterday’s bread from the supermarket, you’d eat something baked just for you on demand.”
Challenges
Despite recent advancements in 3D food printing, the industry has many challenges to overcome. Currently, most
ingredients must be changed to a paste( 糊状物) before a printer can use them, and the printing process is quite
time-consuming, because ingredients interact with each other in very complex ways. On top of that, most of the 3D food
printers now are restricted to dry ingredients, because meat and milk products may easily go bad. Some experts are
skeptical about 3D food printers, believing they are better suited for fast food restaurants than homes and high-end
restaurants.
46. What benefit does 3D printing bring to food production?
A. It helps cooks to create new dishes.
B. It saves time and effort in cooking.
C. It improves the cooking conditions.
D. It contributes to restaurant decorations.
47. What can we learn about 3D food printing from Paragraphs 3?
A. It solves food shortages easily.
B. It quickens the transportation of food.
C. It needs no space for the storage of food.
D. It uses renewable materials as sources of food.
48. According to Paragraph 4, 3D-printed food _____________.
A. is more available to consumers
B. can meet individual nutritional needs
C. is more tasty than food in supermarkets
D. can keep all the nutrition in raw materials
49. What is the main factor that prevents 3D food printing from spreading widely?
A. The printing process is complicated.
B. 3D food printers are too expensive.
C. Food materials have to be dry.
D. Some experts doubt 3D food printing.
50. What could be the best title of the passage?
A. 3D Food Printing: Delicious New Technology
B. A New Way to Improve 3D Food Printing
C. The Challenges for 3D Food Production
D. 3D Food Printing: From Farm to Table
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了3D 打印技术在食物上的应用取得了进展,但目前仍面临着

Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an
environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down
the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein's jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping
bags.
Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along
highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台) . The bags are prohibited in some 90
cities
in
California,
including
Los
Angeles.
Eyeing
these
headwinds,
plastic-bag
makers
are
hiring
scientists
like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.
Among the bag makers' argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily
recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a
small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.
The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The
stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable
bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better
for the planet than plastic.
Environmentalists don't dispute(质疑)these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want
shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.
24. What has Steven Stein been hired to do?
A. Help increase grocery sales.
B. Recycle the waste material.
C. Stop things falling off trucks.
D. Argue for the use of plastic bags.
25. What does the word “headwinds”in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Bans on plastic bags.
B. Effects of city development.
C. Headaches caused by garbage.
D. Plastic bags hung in trees.
26. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers?
A. They are quite expensive.
B. Replacing them can be difficult.
C. They are less strong than plastic bags.
D. Producing them requires more energy.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Plastic, Paper or Neither
B. Industry, Pollution and Environment
C. Recycle or Throw Away
D. Garbage Collection and Waste Control

As cultural symbols go, the American car is quite young. The Model T Ford was built at the Piquette Plant in
Michigan a century ago, with the first rolling off the assembly line(装配线)on September 27, 1908. Only eleven cars were
produced the next month. But eventually Henry Ford would build fifteen million of them.
Modern America was born on the road, behind a wheel. The car shaped some of the most lasting aspects of American
culture: the roadside diner, the billboard, the motel, even the hamburger. For most of the last century, the car
represented what it meant to be American—going forward at high speed to find new worlds. The road novel, the road

movie, these are the most typical American ideas, born of abundant petrol, cheap cars and a never-ending interstate
highway system, the largest public works project in history.
In 1928 Herbert Hoover imagined an America with “a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.” Since then, this
society has moved onward, never looking back, as the car transformed America from a farm-based society into an
industrial power.
The cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological disaster. In America the demand for
oil has grown by 22 percent since 1990.
The problems of excessive(过度的)energy consumption, climate change and population growth have been described
in a book by the American writer Thomas L. Friedman. He fears the worst, but hopes for the best.
Friedman points out that the green economy(经济)is a chance to keep American strength. “The ability to design, build
and export green technologies for producing clean water, clean air and healthy and abundant food is going to be the
currency of power in the new century.”
28. Why is hamburger mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To explain Americans’ love for travelling by car.
B. To show the influence of cars on American culture.
C. To stress the popularity of fast food with Americans.
D. To praise the effectiveness of America’s road system.
29. What has the use of cars in America led to?
A. Decline of economy.
B. Environmental problems.
C. A shortage of oil supply.
D. A farm-based society.
30. What is Friedman’s attitude towards America’s future?
A. Ambiguous.
B. Doubtful.
C. Hopeful.
D. Tolerant.

In the 1760s, Mathurin Roze opened a series of shops that boasted(享有) a special meat soup called consommé.
Although the main attraction was the soup, Roze's chain shops also set a new standard for dining out, which helped to
establish Roze as the inventor of the modern restaurant.
Today, scholars have generated large amounts of instructive research about restaurants. Take visual hints that
influence what we eat: diners served themselves about 20 percent more pasta(意大利面食) when their plates matched
their food. When a dark-colored cake was served on a black plate rather than a white one, customers recognized it as
sweeter and more tasty.
Lighting matters, too. When Berlin restaurant customers ate in darkness, they couldn't tell how much they'd had:
those given extra-large shares ate more than everyone else, none the wiser—they didn’t feel fuller, and they were just as
ready for dessert.
Time is money, but that principle means different things for different types of restaurants. Unlike fast-food places, fine
dining shops prefer customers to stay longer and spend. One way to encourage customers to stay and order that extra
round: put on some Mozart(莫扎特).When classical, rather than pop, music was playing, diners spent more. Fast music
hurried diners out.
Particular scents also have an effect: diners who got the scent of lavender(薰衣草) stayed longer and spent more than
those who smelled lemon, or no scent.
Meanwhile, things that you might expect to discourage spending—"bad" tables, crowding. high prices — don't
necessarily. Diners at bad tables — next to the kitchen door, say — spent nearly as much as others but soon fled. It can be
concluded that restaurant keepers need not "be overly concerned about ‘bad’ tables," given that they're profitable. As for
crowds, a Hong Kong study found that they increased a restaurant's reputation, suggesting great food at fair prices. And
doubling a buffet's price led customers to say that its pizza was 11 percent tastier.
58. The underlined phrase "none the wiser" in paragraph 3 most probably implies that the customers were
.
A. not aware of eating more than usual
B. not willing to share food with others
C. not conscious of the food quality

Children as young as ten are becoming dependent on social media for their sense of self-worth, a major study
warned.
It found many youngsters(少年)now measure their status by how much public approval they get online, often through
“likes”. Some change their behaviour in real life to improve their image on the web.
The report into youngsters aged from 8 to 12 was carried out by Children's Commissioner (专员)Anne Longfield. She
said social media firms were exposing children to major emotional risks, with some youngsters starting secondary school
ill-equipped to cope with the tremendous pressure they faced online.
Some social apps were popular among the children even though they supposedly require users to be at least 13.The
youngsters admitted planning trips around potential photo-opportunities and then messaging friends—and friends of
friends — to demand “likes” for their online posts.
The report found that youngsters felt their friendships could be at risk if they did not respond to social media posts
quickly, and around the clock.
Children aged 8 to 10 were "starting to feel happy" when others liked their posts. However, those in the 10 to 12 age
group were "concerned with how many people like their posts", suggesting a “need” for social recognition that gets
stronger the older they become.
Miss Longfield warned that a generation of children risked growing up "worried about their appearance and image as
a result of the unrealistic lifestyles they follow on platforms, and increasingly anxious about switching off due to the
constant demands of social media.
She said: "Children are using social media with family and friends and to play games when they are in primary school.
But what starts as fun usage of apps turns into tremendous pressure in real social media interaction at secondary school."
As their world expanded, she said, children compared themselves to others online in a way that was "hugely
damaging in terms of their self-identity, in terms of their confidence, but also in terms of their ability to develop
themselves".
Miss Longfield added: "Then there is this push to connect—if you go offline, will you miss something, will you miss out,
will you show that you don't care about those people you are following, all of those come together in a huge way at once."
"For children it is very, very difficult to cope with emotionally." The Children's Commissioner for England's study—life in
Likes—found that children as young as 8 were using social media platforms largely for play.
However, the research—involving eight groups of 32 children aged 8 to 12—suggested that as they headed toward
their teens, they became increasingly anxious online.
By the time they started secondary school—at age 11—children were already far more aware of their image online
and felt under huge pressure to ensure their posts were popular, the report found.
However, they still did not know how to cope with mean-spirited jokes, or the sense of incompetence they might feel
【公众号:实用视界 +VX:18071191557】
第114 页共218 页
if they compared themselves to celebrities(名人)or more brilliant friends online. The report said they also faced pressure
to respond to messages at all hours of the day—especially at secondary school when more youngsters have mobile
phones.
The Children’s Commissioner said schools and parents must now do more to prepare children for the emotional
minefield(雷区)they faced online. And she said social media companies must also "take more responsibility". They should
either monitor their websites better so that children do not sign up too early, or they should adjust their websites to the
needs of younger users.
Javed Khan, of children's charity Bamardo's, said: "It's vital that new compulsory age- appropriate relationship and sex
education lessons in England should help equip children to deal with the growing demands of social media.
“It’s also hugely important for parents to know which apps their children are using.”
65. Why did some secondary school students feel too much pressure?
A. They were not provided with adequate equipment.
B. They were not well prepared for emotional risks.
C. They were required to give quick responses.
D. They were prevented from using mobile phones.

.
A. they didn't adequately check their users' registration
B. they organized photo trips to attract more youngsters
C. they encouraged youngsters to post more photos
D. they didn't stop youngsters from staying up late
67. Children's comparing themselves to others online may lead to
.
A. less friendliness to each other
B. lower self-identity and confidence
C. an increase in online cheating
D. a stronger desire to stay online
68. According to Life in Likes, as children grew, they became more anxious to
.
A. circulate their posts quickly
B. know the qualities of their posts
C. use mobile phones for play
D. get more public approval
69. What should parents do to solve the problem?
A. Communicate more with secondary schools.

第115 页共218 页
根据全文内容可知文章主要介绍了社交媒体对孩子的影响,所以A 正确。
点睛:推理判断试题属于高层次阅读理解题。这种题型包括判断题和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存,推理是为了
得出正确的判断,正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。做好该题型要从整体上把握语篇内容,在语篇的表面意义
与隐含意义、已知信息与未知信息间架起桥梁,透过字里行间,去体会作者的“弦外之音”。推理判断题常常可以分
为如下几类:(1)细节推断。如时间、地点、人物关系等;(2)逻辑推断。根据已知的结果推断导致结果产生的可
能原因;(3)目的、意图、态度推断。根据文章的论述,推断作者的写作目的以及作者情感态度;(4)预测想象推
断。文章没有明确说明,要求根据语篇对文章可能涉及的内容进行预测判断。
本题的第二和第四小题都属于细节推理,解答此类题目首先要准确定位信息句,然后根据信息句进行合理判断,如
第二小题根据原文信息Some social apps were popular among the children even though they supposedly require users to
be at least 13.中关键信息为even though 后的内容,即尽管他们要求使用者要13 岁以上,但在小于13 的孩子中仍
很受欢迎,说明他们的监管不力。
再如第四小题也属于细节推理题。根据文章第12 段However, the research—involving eight groups of 32 children aged 8
to 12—suggested that as they headed toward their teens, they became increasingly anxious online.可知随着孩子年龄的
增长,他们开始渴望上网,再根据13 段By the time they started secondary school—at age 11—children were already far
more aware of their image online and felt under huge pressure to ensure their posts were popular, the report found.可以
推断出他们的压力源于他们渴望自己的发帖能受欢迎,被认可,由此可见他们渴望得到公众的认可。
三、2017 年高考真题
1. 【2017·全国卷I,D】
A build-it-yourself solar still(蒸馏器)is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not
readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector.
Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but impossible to find natural substitutes.
The only components required, though, are a 5'5'sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a
container — perhaps just a drinking cup — to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and
fastened on your belt.
To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the
hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay
the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up — and out — the side of the
hole.
Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center
down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet
must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup.
The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates(蒸发) and collects on the
sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can
suck the refreshment out through the tube, and won’t have to break down the still every time you need a drink.
32. What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?
A. It’s delicate.
B. It’s expensive.
C. It’s complex.
D. It’s portable.
33. What does the underlined phrase "the water catcher"in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The tube.
B. The still.
C. The hole.
D. The cup.
34. What is the last step of constructing a working solar still?
A. Dig a hole of a certain size.
B. Put the cup in place.
C. Weight the sheet’s center down.
D. Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.
35. When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup from
.
A. the plastic tube
B. outside the hole
C. the open air
D. beneath the sheet
【文章大意】本文主要介绍了一种自己可以亲手制作的简单易行的太阳能蒸馏器的方法,并介绍了它的工作原
理。这种蒸馏器所需的材料简单,适用于任何缺水的地方。
32. D
【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句话These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on
your belt.可知制作蒸馏器的东西可以叠放在一个小包里,系在腰间,这说明制作蒸馏器的设备很轻便,portable 表
示"轻便的;手提的",故选D。
33. B
【解析】词义猜测题。根据Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity 可知
最好在潮湿的地方挖洞,以提高接水器的工作效率。"接水器"指的是在潮湿的地方挖洞,在洞的底部放一个杯子,
杯子上方用膜覆盖,整个装置构成接水器,而不是某个部分。这一题很容易错选D,但是就算在干燥的地方挖洞,
杯子也可以接水,杯子接水的事实并不会因为周围环境的变化而变化,杯子的工作效率是不变的。故选B。
34. C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with

第116 页共218 页
dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock.可知最后一步是weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock(放
一块石头在覆盖膜的中间,把它压下去),故选C。
35. D 【解析】推理判断题。结合第四段中的Ground water evaporates(蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops
of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup 可知地下水蒸发,在覆盖膜上聚集起来,直到形成小水滴
落在杯子里,覆盖膜是在杯子上面的,水滴落入杯子里,所以水滴是聚在覆盖膜的下面。故选D。
2. 【2017·全国卷II,C】
Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal
of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle — named the Transition — has two seats, four wheels and wings
that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach
around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in
the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.
Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those
numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show.
But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000. And it won’t help if you’re stuck in
traffic. The car needs a runway.
Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert.
But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already
permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through
crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.
Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision five years ago to create a separate
set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes. Terrafugia says an owner
would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would
find relatively easy to meet.
28. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The basic data of the Transition.
B. The advantages of flying cars.
C. The potential market for flying cars.
D. The designers of the Transition.
29. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?
A. It causes traffic jams.
B. It is difficult to operate.
C. It is very expensive.
D. It burns too much fuel.
30. What is the government’s attitude to the development of the flying car?
A. Cautious.
B. Favorable.
C. Ambiguous.
D. Disapproving.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Flying Car at Auto Show
B. The Transition’s First Flight
C. Pilots’ Dream Coming True
D. Flying Car Closer to Reality
【语篇解读】本文是一篇科普说明文。Terrafugia 公司研制出飞行汽车并成功进行了第一次飞行,使飞行汽车

半部分介绍它的空中飞行速度、陆地行驶速度和油耗情况,这些都是飞行汽车的基本数据。故选A 项。
29. C【解析】考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s
expected to cost $ 279,000"可知,该飞行汽车是非常贵的,所以不太可能大量出现在车道上。故选C 项。
30. B【解析】考查推理判断。根据第三段中的"The government has already permitted the company to use special
materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly"可推知,政府对该项目是支持的。故选B 项。
31. D【解析】考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的"Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first
flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year"可知,Terrafugia 公司的飞行汽
车成功进行了第一次飞行,从而使飞行汽车更加接近现实。所以选D 项。主旨大意题的解答要注意文章的首段和尾
段,同时要结合文章中大部分内容所讲述的观点。文章中只提及Transition 会出现在New York Auto Show,但这不是
文章主要内容,故排除A 项;B 项只是飞行汽车的第一次飞行,过于片面;C 项中的"Pilots’ Dream"未在文中提及。

When a leafy plant is under attack, it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin,
reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These
chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a
mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds, VOCs for short.
Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked. It’s a plant’s way of crying out. But is

anyone listening? Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbors react.
Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty. They pump out perfumes
designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the tables are turned. The
attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.
In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors. The damage is usually more
serious on the first plant, but the neighbors, relatively speaking, stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to
do.
Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or
was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to
"overhear" the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.
Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world
we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.
32. What does a plant do when it is under attack?
A. It makes noises.
B. It gets help from other plants.
C. It stands quietly.
D. It sends out certain chemicals.
33. What does the author mean by "the tables are turned" in paragraph 3?
A. The attackers get attacked.
B. The insects gather under the table.
C. The plants get ready to fight back.
D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.
34. Scientists find from their studies that plants can
.
A. predict natural disasters
B. protect themselves against insects
C. talk to one another intentionally
D. help their neighbors when necessary
35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The world is changing faster than ever.
B. People have stronger senses than before.
C. The world is more complex than it seems.
D. People in Darwin’s time were more imaginative.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了植物在受到昆虫的攻击时是如何进行自我保护的,同时引出世界比我

After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were
caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170
wolves.
Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but
they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the
Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.
The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations — major food sources (来
源) for the wolf — grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation ( 植被), which reduced plant
diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage
of the park’s red foxes, and completely drove away the park’s beavers.
As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped
that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared
that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.
The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolvers. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray
wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a
comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce
wolves to other parts of the country as well.
28. What is the text mainly about?
A. Wildlife research in the United States.
B. Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.
C. The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.

The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named "
DriveLAB"in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.
Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people,
leading to them becoming more isolated(隔绝) and inactive.
Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they
hope could help them to continue driving into later life.
These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe
explains: "For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving
their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others."
"But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any
potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving
before they really need to."
Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains: "The DriveLAB is helping us to understand
what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.
"For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found
that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at
risk of getting fined. We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.
"We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer
behind the wheel."
32. What is the purpose of the DriveLAB?
A. To explore new means of transport.
B. To design new types of cars.
C. To find out older driver’s problems.
D. To teach people traffic rules.
33. Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?
A. It keeps them independent.
B. It helps them save time.
C. It builds up their strength.
D. It cures their mental illnesses.
34. What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?
A. Improve their driving skills.
B. Develop driver-assist technologies.
C. Provide tips on repairing their cars.
D. Organize regular physical checkups.

Measles(麻疹), which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even more, was nearly wiped out in the United
States 14 years ago by the universal use of the MMR vaccine(疫苗). But the disease is making a comeback, caused by a
growing anti-vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreading quickly. Already this year, 115 measles cases have
been reported in the USA, compared with 189 for all of last year.
The numbers might sound small, but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend. When vaccination rates are very
high, as they still are in the nation as a whole, everyone is protected. This is called "herd immunity", which protects the
people who get hurt easily, including those who can’t be vaccinated for medical reasons, babies too young to get
vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesn’t work.
But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in. When some refuse vaccination and seek a free
ride, immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger.
That’s exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from Orange County, California, where 22
measles cases were reported this month, to Brooklyn, N.Y., where a 17-year-old caused an outbreak last year.
The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades, and it is driven by a real but very small risk. Those who refuse to
take that risk selfishly make others suffer.
Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out(决定不参加) of what are supposed to be required
vaccines for all children entering kindergarten. Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption(豁免), sometimes just
by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine.
Now, several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for opting out. But no one does enough to
limit exemptions.
Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons. But personal opinions? Not good
enough. Everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits vaccines provide, but they’ll exist only as long as everyone shares in the
risks.
63. The first two paragraphs suggest that ____________.
A. a small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trB. the outbreak of measles attracts the public attention
C. anti-vaccine movement has its medical reasons
D. information about measles spreads quickly
64. Herd immunity works well when ____________.
A. exemptions are allowed
B. several vaccines are used together
C. the whole neighborhood is involved in
D. new regulations are added to the state laws
65. What is the main reason for the comeback of measles?
A. The overuse of vaccine.
B. The lack of medical care.
C. The features of measles itself.
D. The vaccine opt-outs of some people.
66. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce the idea of exemption.
B. To discuss methods to cure measles.
C. To stress the importance of vaccination.
D. To appeal for equal rights in medical treatment.

Hollywood’s theory that machines with evil(邪恶) minds will drive armies of killer robots is just silly. The real problem
relates to the possibility that artificial intelligence(AI) may become extremely good at achieving something other than what
we really want. In 1960 a well-known mathematician Norbert Wiener, who founded the field of cybernetics(控制论), put
it this way: "If we use, to achieve our purposes, a mechanical agency with whose operation we cannot effectively
interfere( 干预), we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpose which we really
desire."
A machine with a specific purpose has another quality, one that we usually associate with living things: a wish to
preserve its own existence. For the machine, this quality is not in-born, nor is it something introduced by humans; it is a
logical consequence of the simple fact that the machine cannot achieve its original purpose if it is dead. So if we send out a
robot with the single instruction of fetching coffee, it will have a strong desire to secure success by disabling its own off
switch or even killing anyone who might interfere with its task. If we are not careful, then, we could face a kind of global
chess match against very determined, super intelligent machines whose objectives conflict with our own, with the real
world as the chessboard.
The possibility of entering into and losing such a match should concentrate the minds of computer scientists. Some
researchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a kind of firewall, using them to answer difficult questions but
never allowing them to affect the real world. Unfortunately, that plan seems unlikely to work: we have yet to invent a
firewall that is secure against ordinary humans, let alone super intelligent machines.
Solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in AI seems to be possible but not easy. There are probably
decades in which to plan for the arrival of super intelligent machines. But the problem should not be dismissed out of hand,
as it has been by some AI researchers. Some argue that humans and machines can coexist as long as they work in
teams—yet that is not possible unless machines share the goals of humans. Others say we can just "switch them off"
as if super intelligent machines are too stupid to think of that possibility. Still others think that super intelligent AI will
never happen. On September 11, 1933, famous physicist Ernest Rutherford stated, with confidence, "Anyone who
expects a source of power in the transformation of these atoms is talking moonshine."However, on September 12, 1933,
physicist Leo Szilard invented the neutron-induced(中子诱导) nuclear chain reaction.
67. Paragraph 1 mainly tells us that artificial intelligence may __________.
A. run out of human control
B. satisfy human’s real desires
C. command armies of killer robots
D. work faster than a mathematician
68. Machines with specific purposes are associated with living things partly because they might be able to __________.
A. prevent themselves from being destroyed
B. achieve their original goals independently
C. do anything successfully with given orders
D. beat humans in international chess matches
69. According to some researchers, we can use firewalls to __________.
A. help super intelligent machines work better
B. be secure against evil human beings
C. keep machines from being harmed
D. avoid robots’ affecting the world
70. What does the author think of the safety problem of super intelligent machines?
A. It will disappear with the development of AI.
B. It will get worse with human interference.
C. It will be solved but with difficulty.

Before birth, babies can tell the difference between loud sounds and voices. They can even distinguish their mother’s
voice from that of a female stranger. But when it comes to embryonic learning(胎教),birds could rule the roost. As recently
reported in The Auk: Ornithological Advances, some mother birds may teach their young to sing even before they hatch(孵
化). New-born chicks can then imitate their mom’s call within a few days of entering the world.
This educational method was first observed in 2012 by Sonia Kleindorfer, a biologist at Flinders University in South
Australia, and her colleagues. Female Australian superb fairy wrens were found to repeat one sound over and over again
while hatching their eggs. When the eggs were hatched, the baby birds made the similar chirp to their mothers — a sound
that served as their regular "feed me!" call.
To find out if the special quality was more widespread in birds, the researchers sought the red-backed fairy wren,
another species of Australian songbird. First they collected sound data from 67 nests in four sites in Queensland before and
after hatching. Then they identified begging calls by analyzing the order and number of notes. A computer analysis blindly
compared calls produced by mothers and chicks, ranking them by similarity.
It turns out that baby red-backed fairy wrens also emerge chirping like their moms. And the more frequently mothers
had called to their eggs, the more similar were the babies’ begging calls. In addition, the team set up a separate
experiment that suggested that the baby birds that most closely imitated their mom’s voice were rewarded with the most
food.
This observation hints that effective embryonic learning could signal neurological(神经系统的) strengths of children
to parents. An evolutionary inference can then be drawn. "As a parent, do you invest in quality children, or do you invest in
children that are in need?"Kleindorfer asks. "Our results suggest that they might be going for quality."
58. The underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 means "
".
A.be the worst
B.be the best
C.be just as bad
D.be just as good
59. What are Kleindorfer’s findings based on?
A. Similarities between the calls of moms and chicks.
B. The observation of fairy wrens across Australia.
C. The data collected from Queensland’s locals.
D. Controlled experiments on wrens and other birds.
60. Embryonic learning helps mother birds to identify the baby birds which
.
A. can receive quality signals
B. are in need of training
C. fit the environment better
D. make the loudest call
【文章大意】文章介绍了鸟类在胎教方面的超凡本领。实验发现鸟儿在孵化时不停地鸣叫是为了教会以后出生的
雏鸟歌唱的本领,从而挑选出能够适应环境的雏鸟。
58. B【解析】根据第二段"when the errs were hatched, the baby birds made the similar chirp to their mothers"可知,
鸟儿在孵化小鸟的时候,鸣叫对未出生的小鸟有很大影响,它们被孵化后也能发出类似的声音,说明鸟儿很擅长胎
教。
59. A【解析】根据第三段"the researchers sought the red-backed fairy wren, another species of Australian songbird."可
知,研究人员并未在全澳洲范围展开调查,排除B 项;未对其它鸟类进行记录研究,排除D 项。根据倒数第三段中
的"A computer analysis blindly compared calls produced by mothers and chicks, ranking them by similarity."可知,A 项
正确。
60. C【解析】根据倒数第二段中的"the baby birds that most closely imitated their mom’s voice were rewarded with the
most food"和最后一段"Our results suggest that they might be going for quality."可知,模仿母鸟模仿得最好的雏鸟
得到最多的食物,研究结果表明,母亲会选择质量好的雏鸟。由此可知,胎教帮助母鸟辨别出那些适应环境较好的

Old Problem, New Approaches
While clean energy is increasingly used in our daily life, global warming will continue for some decades after
CO2 emissions(排放) peak. So even if emissions were to begin to decrease today, we would still face the challenge of
adapting to climate change. Here I will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation.
When it comes to adaptation, it is important to understand that climate change is a process. We are therefore not
talking about adapting to a new standard, but to a constantly shifting set of conditions. This is why, in part at least, the US
National Climate Assessment says that: "There is no ‘one-size fits all’ adaptation." Nevertheless, there are some actions
that offer much and carry little risk or cost.
Around the world, people are adapting in surprising ways, especially in some poor countries. Floods have become
more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades. Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster. His
not-for-profit organization runs 100 river boats that serve as floating libraries, schools, and health clinics, and are equipped
with solar panels and other communicating facilities. Rezwan is creating floating connectivity(连接) to replace flooded
roads and highways. But he is also working at a far more fundamental level: his staff show people how to make floating
gardens and fish ponds to prevent starvation during the wet season.
Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken. Chewang Norphel lives in a mountainous region in
India, where he is known as the Ice Man. The loss of glaciers(冰川) there due to global warming represents an enormous
threat to agriculture. Without the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops. Norphel’s
inspiration came from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needed. He directed the wasted water into
shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring. His fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigation(灌溉) water.
Having created nine such ice reserves, Norphel calculates that he has stored about 200,000m3of water. Climate change is a
continuing process, so Norphel’s ice reserves will not last forever. Warming will overtake them. But he is providing a few
years during which the farmers will, perhaps, be able to find other means of adapting.
Increasing Earth’s reflectiveness can cool the planet. In southern Spain the sudden increase of greenhouses(which
reflect light back to space) has changed the warming trend locally, and actually cooled the region. While Spain as a whole is
heating up quickly, temperatures near the greenhouses have decreased. This example should act as an inspiration for all
cities. By painting buildings white, cities may slow down the warming process.
In Peru, local farmers around a mountain with a glacier that has already fallen victim to climate change have begun
painting the entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added reflectiveness will restore the life-giving ice. The
outcome is still far from clear. But the World Bank has included the project on its list of "100 ideas to save the planet".
More ordinary forms of adaptation are happening everywhere. A friend of mine owns an area of land in western
Victoria. Over five generations the land has been too wet for cropping. But during the past decade declining rainfall has
allowed him to plant highly profitable crops. Farmers in many countries are also adapting like this — either by growing new
produce, or by growing the same things differently. This is common sense. But some suggestions for adapting are not.
When the polluting industries argue that we’ve lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt,
it’s a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual.
Human beings will continue to adapt to the changing climate in both ordinary and astonishing ways. But the most
sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution. After all, if we adapt in that
way, we may avoid the need to change in so many others.
65. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 implies
.
A. adaptation is an ever-changing process
B. the cost of adaptation varies with time
C. global warming affects adaptation forms
D. adaptation to climate change is challenging
66. What is special with regard to Rezwan’s project?
A. The project receives government support.
B. Different organizations work with each other.
C. His organization makes the best of a bad situation.
D. The project connects flooded roads and highways.
67. What did the Ice Man do to reduce the effect of global warming?
A. Storing ice for future use.
B. Protecting the glaciers from melting.
C. Changing the irrigation time.
D. Postponing the melting of the glaciers.
68. What do we learn from the Peru example?
A. White paint is usually safe for buildings.
B. The global warming trend cannot be stopped.
C. This country is heating up too quickly.

【文章大意】文章关注的是我们熟悉的话题——气候变暖,不同的是,文章给出了一些应对气候变暖的新途径。
65.A
【解析】考查句意理解。根据上文中的"We are therefore...but to a constantly shifting set of conditions"可知,对
于不断变化的环境,没有一个通用的方法来解决所有这样的问题。故画线部分暗示的是适应环境也是一个不断变化
的过程。故A 正确。
66.C
【解析】考查细节理解。根据第三段首句可知,世界范围内尤其是一些贫穷地区的人们使用了令人意想不到
的方法去适应环境的改变,化劣势为优势,再结合下文的内容可知,Rezwan 就是这么做的,故答案为C。
67.A 【解析】考查细节理解。由第四段中的"...He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze,and was
stored until the spring..."可知,他把水引入盆地,水在那里结冰并被存储到春天使用,故A 正确。
68.D
【解析】考查细节理解。根据第六段的内容可知,在秘鲁当地的农民会把整个山峰涂成白色来增强对阳光的
反射,希望借此来保护冰不被融化,再结合第五段的内容可知,反射太阳光可能会减轻全球变暖,故D 项正确。
69.D
【解析】考查推理判断。根据第七段中的"When the polluting industries argue that we’ve lost the battle to control
carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt"可知,污染行业辩称因为人们没有赢得治理碳污染的战役,只能适应,
再结合下文的"it’s a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual"可知,作者认为污染行业的这种说法是荒
谬的,其目的是给自己的商业行为制造借口。由此可推知,对于污染行业来说,负责任的做法是同碳污染抗争,以
减少碳排放,故D 正确。
70.B
【解析】考查细节理解。根据最后一段第二句"But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our
energy systems to emit less carbon pollution"可知,作者认为最明智的应对全球变暖的方法是减少碳排放,故B 正确。
10. 【2017·浙江卷,B】
Getting less sleep has become a bad habit for most American kids. According to a new survey(调查)by the National
Sleep Foundation, 51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 pm or later on school nights, even though they have to get up
early. Last year the Foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7- to 12-year-olds said they felt tired during the day, and 15%
said they had fallen asleep at school.
How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age. Babies need a lot of rest; most of them sleep about 18 hours a
day! Adults need about eight hours. For most school-age children, ten hours is ideal(理想的). But the new National Sleep
Foundation survey found that 35% of 10- to 12-year-olds get only seven or eight hours. And guess what almost half of the
surveyed kids said they do before bedtime? Watch TV.
"More children are going to bed with TVs on, and there are more opportunities( 机会)to stay awake, with more
homework, the Internet and the phone," says Dr. Mary Carskadon, a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School.
She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep. Other
experts say part of the problem is chemical. Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones not only make teenagers’
bodies develop adult characteristics, but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 pm.
Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers, some school districts have decided to start high school classes
later than they used to. Three years ago, schools in Edina, Minnesota, changed the start time from 7:25 am to 8:30 am.
Students, parents and teachers are pleased with the results.
25.What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on?
A. American kids’ sleeping habits.
B. Teenagers’ sleep-related diseases.
C. Activities to prevent sleeplessness.
D. Learning problems and lack of sleep.
26.How many hours of sleep do 11-year-olds need every day?
A.7 hours.
B.8 hours.
C.10 hours.
D.18 hours.
27.Why do teenagers go to sleep late according to Carskadon?
A. They are affected by certain body chemicals.
B. They tend to do things that excite them.
C. They follow their parents’ examples.
D. They don’t need to go to school early.

1. 【2019·全国卷I】
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?
We all grew up hearing
people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.” ____36____ According to recent studies,the
answer is a big YES,if the air quality in your camping area is good.
___37___ If the air you’re breathing is clean-which it would be if you’re away from the smog of cities-then the air is
filled with life-giving,energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors,your body will learn to breathe more deeply,
allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles(肌肉)and your brain.
Recently,people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing(治愈). _____38_____ In
these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green,growing things can
reduce stress,lower blood pressure,and put people into a better mood(情绪).Greenery is good for us. Hospital patients Who
see tree branches out their window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead.
______39______ It gives us a great feeling of peace.
___40___While the sun's rays can age and harm our skin, they also give is beneficial Vitamin D. To make sure you get
enough Vitamin D—but still protect your skin— put on sunscreen right as you head outside. It takes sunscreen about fifteen
minutes to start working, and that's plenty of time for your skin to absorb a day's worth of Vitamin D.
A. Fresh air cleans our lungs.
B. So what are you waiting for?
C. Being in nature refreshes us.
D. Another side benefit of getting fresh air is sunlight.
E. But is fresh air really as good for you as your mother always said?
F. Just as importantly, we tend to associate air with health care.
G. All across the country, recovery centers have begun building Healing Gardens.
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了新鲜空气的好处:新鲜空气中的氧气,阳光对人们的身心健康均有
好处。人们已经开始利用大自然和治愈疾病的关系,建造“康复花园”,治疗病人了。
36.E
根据下一句中的“the answer is a big YES”可知,该空应该是一个一般疑问句,选项中只有E 选项是一般疑问句。故
选E:但是新鲜空气真得像你母亲说的那样对你有好处吗?空前的people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air”和选
项中的“your mother always said”亦是呼应。
37.A
根据下一句中提到的“If the air you’re breathing is clean…the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen”可知,新鲜
空气充满赋予人生命的,充满活力的氧气。下文中“…breathe more deeply, allowing more oxygen to get to your muscles
and your brain”是对前文的递进:在户外,更多的氧气进入你的肌肉和大脑。根据前面的分析可以推知,该空应该提
到新鲜空气的基本作用,根据常识,我们知道吸入的空气首先进入的是肺部,然后才会使我们的肌肉和大脑受益,
故该空应选A 选项:新鲜空气清洁我们的肺部。
38.G
根据下一句中提到的“these places”可以推知,该空应该提到表示地点的复数名词。选项中只有G 选项提到该类名词,
故选项G:在全国,康复中心已经开始建造“康复花园”。these places 就是指Healing Gardens。
39.C
前文介绍的是“康复花园”中的绿色植物对于病人康复的好的作用:绿色的正在成长的植物可以减轻压力,降低血压,
使人情绪良好。空后提到“它给我们一种平和感”。该空起承上启下的作用,仍然要提到处于“康复花园”这种自然环
境中的好处,空后的it 也要指代这种情况。故C 选项切题:身处大自然可以使人精神焕发。
40.D
根据下文中提到的“the sun’s rays…give us beneficial Vitamin D”可知,该段介绍的阳光的好处。故该选项应该提到阳
光。选项中只有D 选项涉及阳光。故选D:获得新鲜空气的另一个好处是阳光。

More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal? First, you need to evaluate yourself ,
your values your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires ,etc. Only then should your you’re your goals
You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation. This is quite important, because it is directly related to
your commitment. There are times when your heart is not in your work. ___38___ So, slow down and think what you really
want to do at that moment. Clarity(清晰)of thoughts can help you move forward.
Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives, keeping in mind your beliefs,
values and strengths. Remember that goals are flexible.____39____ They also need to be measurable. You must keep these
points in mind while setting your goals.
Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a Pilot but can’t become one
because your eyesight is not good enough.____40____You should reassess your goals, and motivate yourself to set a fresh
goal.
You will surely need to overcome some difficulties, some planned, but most unplanned. You cannot overcome them
without ample motivation. Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals.
A. This can affect your work.
B. So how should you motivate yourself?
C. However, this should not discourage you.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Much of the work in today’s world is accomplished(完成)in teams. Most people believe the best way to build a great
team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals._____46_____Companies spend millions hiring top business
people. Is their money well spent?
___47___They focused on football,basketball and baseball. The results are mixed For football and basketball,adding
talented players to a team proves a good method,but only up to the point where 70% of the players are top talent;above that
level, the team’s performance begins to decline. Interestingly,this trend isn’t evident in baseball. where additional individual
talent keeps improving the team’s performance.
To explain this phenomenon,the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its
members to coordinate( 协调)their actions.______48______In baseball ,the performance of individual players is less
dependent on teammates. They conclude that when task interdependence is high,team performance will suffer when there is
too much talent,while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence is lower.
If a basketball star is. for example,trying to gain a high personal point total,he may take a shot himself when it would be
better to pass the ball to a teammate,affecting the team's performance. Young children learning to play team sports are often
told,“There is no I in TEAM.”___49___
Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team,some players may make less effort. Just as in a game
of tug-of-war(拔河比赛),whenever a person is added,everyone else pulls the rope with less force.
___50___.An A-team may require a balance-not just A players,but a few generous B players as well.
A. It's not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent.
B. Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talent
C. The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers' attention.
D. Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.
E. Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world.
F. Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent.
G. This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball.

(2019·天津卷)阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Haze Mabry,who has worked as a school keeper for thirteen years,walks into the school building every day and
empties garbage cans,wipes down bathrooms and mops wet messes in the hallways.
Last Friday,after he arrived at the school,instead of finding garbage to clean up,he found almost 800 students lining
the hallways with handmade cards,blowing noisemakers and singing a full-throated happy birthday to him. It was his 80th.
As he walked the long hallway,some popped out of lime to hug him. They handed him so many cards that they filled
several large boxes. Touched by their enthusiastic expression of affection. Mabry thanked them all. "They're like my
children,"Mabry said.
On a regular day,students at the school sometimes come up to him to say they're not feeling well or other times to tell

him about something that happened at break. He knows most of the kids at the school,but can't name each one. Some of
them make him know them. Like Faith,who often forgets her backpack in the cafeteria,and Lucy,who just wants a hug.
“He won't brag(夸耀)on himself,but it doesn't matter what he's doing or where he is,he will always stop what he's
doing to take care of a child if that child is having a bad day. If a child approaches him,he will pause to give that child his
undivided attention. He's the most loved one in this building,"said Lori Gilreath,a reading teacher.
Mabry works circles around all the students,cleaning up messes others don't want to touch. He doesn't expect a lot.
Mabry said he hadn't planned to do much for his milestone birthday,so he was happy the students had prepared the surprise
celebration.
Over the weekend,he worked through the piles of handmade cards at his house. One card from a student stood out to
him. It read: “Mr. Haze,you are my sunshine.”
56. What is Mabry's daily work as a school keeper?(no more than 5 words)
57. How did the students celebrate Mabry's birthday?(no more than 15 words)
58. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 probably mean?(1 word)
59. Why is Mabry's presence at the school important?(no more than 10 words)
60. Who is the "sunshine” in your life?Please explain. (no more than 20 words)
【语篇解读】本文为记叙文。文中记叙了一位清洁工Mabry,他的日常工作就是清扫学校大楼。Mabry 爱学生,
关心学生。学生们也尊敬他,喜欢他。在他80 生日那天,学生们用自己的方式祝贺他的生日,表达了对Mabry 的
热爱。
56. 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段“Haze Mabry, who has works as a school keeper for thirteen years, walks into the
school building every day and empty garbage cans, wipes down bathrooms, and mops wet messes in the hallways.”可知
Haze Mabry 是一位清洁工,他的日常工作就是清扫学校大楼。因此本句的答案可为:Cleaning the (school) building;
Or:doing(the)cleaning;
Or: He cleans the (school)building;Or: He does (the) cleaning.
57.【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“Last Friday,...he found almost 800 students lining the hallways with handmade cards,
blowing noisemakers and singing a full-throated happy birthday to him.和some popped out of line to hug him.”可知,上个
周五,他发现几乎有800 名学生在走廊里排队,拿着手制卡片,吹口哨,为他唱了一首响亮的生日快乐歌,拥抱他。
因此答案为:
By lining the hallways, blowing noisemakers, singing a song, handing him cards, and hugging him.
Or: By lining the hallways with (handmade) cards, blowing noisemakers, singing a song, and hugging him.
Or: They lined the hallways, blew noisemakers, sang a song, handed him cards, and hugged him.
Or: They lined the hallways with (handmade) card, blew noisemakers, sang a song, handed him cards, and hugged him.
58.
猜测题意题。根据第二段学生们为Mabry 庆祝生日的方式和划线词后的内容“Mabry thanked them all,”以及“They’re
like my children.”可知Mabry 爱学生,把学生当作自己的孩子。那么学生们也表达了他们对Mabry 的热爱。因此
Mabry 被学生的爱所感动,故所以的“affection”相当于“Love”,故填love。
Or: liking.
Or: Fondness.
59. 【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的内容“...he will always stop what he’s doing to take care of a
child if that child is having a bad day. If a child approaches him, he will pause to give that boy his
undivided attention. He’s the most loved one in this building.”以及最后一段“Mabry works circles
around all the students, cleaning up messes others don’t want to touch. He doesn’t expect a lot.”
可知,Mabry 关心爱护孩子,帮助孩子,是一个善良、热心的人。一个不怕脏不怕累、勤奋
工作的人。因此答案为:
(Because) he loves/cares about(the)students and works hard.
Or: (Because) he loves the students and devoted to his work.
Or: (Because) he is kind/caring /helping to the students, and hard-working.
Or: (Because) he is regarded as a kind /warm-hearted /helpful/caring and hard-working man.
60.
考查学生的观察综合表达能力。本题的题目:who is the "sunshine" in your life?”谁是你生活中的阳光?只要在生活或
学习中帮助过你,关心你、爱护你的,鼓励你,安慰你的都可称为your sunshine。因此答案可为:
My father/mother.(Because) he/she loves me and encouraged me when I’m faced/confronted with difficulties.
Or: My teacher.(Because) he/she cares about me and prepares me for my future career.
Or: My friend.(Because) he/she brings me joy/happiness and gives me a lot of comfort/ help/ encouragement.

The Cost of Thinking
【公众号:实用视界 +VX:18071191557】
第130 页共218 页
Despite their many differences, all human beings share several defining characteristics. such as large brains and the
ability to walk upright on two legs.
The first unique human characteristic is that humans have extraordinarily large brains compared with other animals. It
seems obvious that evolution should select for larger brains. Mammals(哺乳动物)weighing sixty kilograms have an average
brain size of 200 cm2. Modern man has a brain averaging 1200-1400 cm2. We are so fond of our high intelligence that we
assume that when it comes to brain power, more must be better. Unfortunately, that is not the case.
The fact is that a huge brain is a huge drain—consumption of energy—on the body. I's not easy to carry around,
especially when boxed inside a massive skull(倾骨). It's even harder to provides energy. In modern man, the brain accounts
for about 2-3%of total body weight but it consumes 25% of the body's energy when the body is at rest. By comparison, the
brains of apes(类人猿)require only 8%of rest-time energy. Early humans pad for their large brains in two ways. Firstly, they
spent more time in search food. Secondly, their muscles grew smaller and weaker. It's hardly an obvious conclusion that
this is a good way to survive. A chimpanzee(黑猩猩) can't win an argument with a modern man, but it can tear the man
apart like a rag doll.
Another unique human characteristic is that we walk upright. Standing up, it's easier to find food or enemies. In
addition, their arms that are unnecessary for moving around are freed for other purposes, like throwing stones or signaling.
As a result, humans can perform very complex tasks with their hands.
Yet walking upright has its disadvantage. The bone structure of our ancestors developed for millions of years to
support a creature that walked on all fours and has a relatively small head. Adjusting to an upright position was quite a
challenge, especially when the bones had to support an extra-large skull. Humankind paid for its broad vision and skillful
hands backaches and painful necks.
We assume that a large brain makes huge advantages. It seems obvious that these have made humankind the most
powerful animal on earth. But humans enjoyed all of these advantages for a full 2 million years during which they
remained weak and marginal creature. Thus humans who lived a million years ago despite their big brains and sharp stone
tools, lived in constant fear of meat-eating animals.
The Cost of Thinking
Introduction
• Large brains for their bodies and the ability to walk upright are two
___71___ of human beings.
The ___72___ of large
human brains
• The larger brains may not be better because of the cost.
• The big brains make it harder for the body to move around and consume more
energy.
• The animal brain requires less ___73___ when the body is at rest.
•
Large human brains consume more food, and weaken muscles.
The ___74___ of walking
upright
• Walking upright makes it easy to find food or ___75___ against enemies.
• Freed hands can serve some ___76___ purpose and perform complex tasks.
• Walking upright challenges the human bone structure, and
___77___ the
size of brains.
• Walking upright results in ___78___ sufferings.
Conclusion
• With a large brain, human beings ___79___ other beings in terms of
intelligence.
• Weak and marginal, human beings remained ___80___ of meat-eating animals.
【语篇解读】本文为记叙文。主要叙述人用大脑思考的代价。人类与动物相比有两大特点:大大的大脑和直立
行走。超大的大脑使人类拥有更高的智商,但却消耗巨大的能量。直立行走让人类擅长寻找食物和抵御敌人,解放
了的双手来更复杂的事。但却让人类遭受腰痛和颈部疼痛等。人类成为地球上最强大的动物,享受无与伦比的优势,
却对食肉动物怀有恐惧。
71. characteristics 【解析】考查信息归纳。根据第一段“all human beings share defining characteristics ,such as large
brains and the ability to walk upright on two legs.” 可知,大脑袋和双腿直立行走的能力是人类共有的特点
(characteristics)。故填characteristics。
72. disadvantages
【解析】考查信息归纳。72 题就是对第三段内容的总结。第三段主要叙述了人类的大脑大的缺
点。因此本空格填写disadvantages。
73. energy 【解析】考查信息来源。根据第三段中的“a huge brain is a huge drain--consumption of energy ”以及“It (the
brain) consumes 25% of the body’s energy when the body is at rest.By comparison the brains of apes require only 8% of
rest- time energy”可知,人类巨大的大脑是一个巨大的能量消耗。当身体处于休息时,大脑要消耗25%的身体能量。
相比之下,类人猿的大脑只需要8%的休息时间能量。人类与动物相比,动物需要的能量(energy)要比人类少。故
填energy。

第131 页共218 页
74. impact(s) 【解析】考查信息归纳题。分析空后的75--78 小题所在的第五段和第六段的内容可知,此部分主要叙
述了直立行走对人类的影响。故填impact(s)。
75. guard【解析】考查信息转换。根据第五段的第一句“Another unique human characteristic is that we walk upright.
Standing up, it’s easier to find food or enemies.”可知,另一个独特的人类特征是我们直立行走。站起来,更容易找到
食物或敌人。找到敌人,就是为了防御敌人。因为or 为连词,在此句中连结两个动词短语,故空格填动词。“guard
against...”为固定搭配,意为“防御......”,故本空填写guard。
76. other 考查信息来源。根据第五段中的”...their arms that are unnecessary for moving
around are freed for other
purposes ,like throwing stones or signaling. As a result, humans can perform very complex tasks with their hands. ”可知,
解放了的双手可以用于做其它的事,即有其它的目的。故填other。
77. limits【解析】考查信息归纳。根据第五段“walking upright has disadvantages. The bone structure of our ancestors
developed for millions of years to support a creature that walked on four and a relative small head. Adjusting to an upright
position was quite a challenge , especially when the bones had to support an extra -large skull.” 可知,直立行走也有缺
点。我们祖先进化了上百亿年,⻣骼也只能支撑四肢行走和有一个相对较小的头。直立行走对人类的骨架是一个相
当大的挑战,限制了人的头脑的大小。故本空填limits。
78. physical【解析】考查信息转换。根据第六段“..., Humankind paid for its vision and skillful hands with backaches and
painful necks.” 可知,直立对人类的骨架是一个相当大的挑战,人类为自己的视力和灵巧的双手付出了代价,换来的
是腰酸背痛和脖子疼痛。由此得出,直立导致身体方面的(physical)痛苦,故填physical。
79. beat【解析】根据最后一段“We assume that a large brain makes huge advantages. It seems obvious that these have
made humankind the most powerful animal
on earth.”可知,我们假设大脑越大,优势越大。很明显,这些使得人类
成为地球上最强大的动物。由此可推断出我们的大脑比动物大,在智力方面人类比动物更聪明,即在智力方面击败
了(beat)其他动物。故本空填beat。
80. fearful/afraid【解析】根据最后一段“...humans enjoyed all of these advantages for a full 2 million years during which
they weak and marginal creatures. Thus humans who lived a million years ago, despite their big brains and sharp stone
tools, lived in constant fear of meat--eating animals.”可知,尽管人类享受着所有这些优势,但也是弱小的生物。因此尽
管拥有巨大的大脑和锋利的石器,但也曾经对食肉动物仍旧害怕/恐惧。因为空前是系动词,故本空要填形容词
(afraid/fearful)可知,此处要填名词,故填fearful/afraid。

Why Do We Get Angry?
【公众号:实用视界 +VX:18071191557】
第134 页共218 页
Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make us
examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering(触发)events, personality
traits(特征), and our assessment of situations.
51
Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However, here are
some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more. ____52____
The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one’s personal history and
psychological traits.
Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that connect
with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry.
53
Also, sometimes pre-anger
does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred.
54
Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance
and negative (消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger.
55
However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to
prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent
cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings.
A. Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.
B. But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.
C. Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it.
D. Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.
E. Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind.
F. Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.
G. Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger

51.F 【解析】考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。上一句提到导致人们生气的三个主要原因:triggering(触发)events,
personality traits(特征),our assessment of situations,下面的几段具体分析了这三个原因与生气的关系。故
该句应该起承上启下的作用,故F 选项(如果我们愿意用批判性的目光来评估自己的话,那么了解这些原因
将会控制我们的愤怒。)承上启下,故选F。
52.G 【解析】考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。该空前面两句提到引发愤怒的事件很多,例如:堵车,截止日期临
近,身体疼痛等。下一句提到:某件事会激发一个人的怒气,但其他人却不会为此而生气的原因是由于个人
的历史和心理特征。该空承上启下,应当提到某件事会使某些人生气,但不会使别人生气这个现象,故G 选
项(人们对这些事情的反应不一样,这就导致使一个人生气的事情可能会让另一个人生气,也可能不会让另
一个人生气。)承上启下,故选G。
53.E 【解析】考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。上一句提到:每个人都有自己的心里不平衡的地方。那些比较好强,
气量比较小的人更容易生气。下一句提到:而且,有时候,pre-anger 并不一定是一种持久的状态,而是一种
触发事件发生前的暂时状态。该空承上启下,既要提到上一句中的那些性格特征,又要提到下一句中的
pre-anger,故Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your
mind. (拥有这些个性特征意味着愤怒之前的状态,愤怒就在你的大脑背景中。)承上启下,故选E。
54.A 【解析】考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。下一句提到:有时候,甚至常规性的事件也会变成pre-anger 或恼
怒的来源。有时候对这些情况的无知和负面观点会产生愤怒。该空位于段首,引出下文,故A 选项(我们的
对情况的态度和看法也会在我们内心产生愤怒。)是本段的主题句,概括全段内容,故选A。
55.D 【解析】考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。下一句提到:但是生气很容易转变为暴力,所以最好了解一下愤怒
的原因来阻止它的存在。该句和上一句之间是转折关系,结合剩余选项可知,D 选项(愤怒是一种特别强烈
的感情,或许人们认为他们有理由生气。)和下文构成转折关系,故选D。

Some people live to climb the highest mountains. Some people live only dreaming about it while others live to avoid
ever climbing at all. But one thing is certain, all people encounter mountains in their life.
When I was a little girl, my family moved to a tiny town at the bottom of a big mountain. One day after school, while
exploring the green woods of this magnificent mountain, I almost fell on a set of stairs. What could these steps lead to?
Curiosity got the best of me as I knew it would be starting to get dark soon. I started climbing up those strangely
mysterious steps.
I climbed and climbed. There was nothing but just green bushes and these steps. I had to reach the top! But it was
now getting real dark. If I kept going I might not be able to see my way back. My mum would be worried sick if I didn’t
come home soon. So I ran back home almost in the dark while trying not to get too scared.
Anxiously I went to bed dreaming about what I would find at the top of this magical mountain. Could there be a castle

up there? Maybe I would find a monster(怪物). Maybe I was taking the risk of never coming back home. Or, maybe all I
would find was absolutely nothing! But something inside me was going to climb that mountain at all cost. I could hardly
wait to try this adventure again.
Now we live in a world surrounded by the "can’t do" attitudes. We all fall down. We all have doubts and regrets. Still

How Arts Promote Our Economy
When most people think of the arts, they imagine the end product, the beautiful painting, a wonderful piece of music,
or an award-winning performance in the theater. But arts groups bring broader value to our communities. The economic
impact of the arts is often overlooked and badly judged.
The arts create jobs that help develop the economy. Any given performance takes a tour bus full of artists, technical
experts, managers, musicians, or writers to create an appealing piece of art. These people earn a living wage for their
professional knowledge and skills.
Another group of folks is needed to help market the event. “If you build it they will come” is a misleading belief.
Painters, digital media experts, photographers, booking agents and promoters are hired to sell tickets and promote the

event. According to the Dallas Area Cultural Advocacy Coalition, arts agencies employ more than 10,000 people as full-or
part-time employees or independent contractors.
A successful arts neighborhood creates a ripple effect(连锁反应)throughout a community. In 2005, when the Bishop
Arts Theatre was donated to our town, the location was considered a poor area of town. After investing more than $1
million in reconstructing the building, we began producing a full season of theater performances, jazz concerts, and
year-round arts education programs in 2008. Nearly 40 percent of jazz lovers live outside of the Dallas city limits and drive
or fly in to enjoy an evening in the Bishop Arts District.
No doubt the theater has contributed to the area’s development and economic growth. Today, there are galleries,
studios, restaurants and newly built work spaces where neighbors share experiences, where there is renewed life and
energy. In this way, arts and culture also serve as a public good.
TeCo Theatrical Productions Inc. made use of Bloomberg’s investment of $35,000 to get nearly $400,000 in public and
private sector support during the two-year period. Further, Dallas arts and arts-based businesses produce $298 for every
dollar the city spends on arts programming and facilities. In Philadelphia, a metro area smaller than Dallas, the arts have an
economic impact of almost $3 million and support 44,000 jobs, 80 percent of which actually lie outside the arts industry,
including accountants, marketers, construction workers, hotel managers, printers, and other kinds of art workers.
The arts are efficient economic drivers and when they are supported, the entire small-business community benefits.
It is wrong to assume arts groups cannot make a profit. But in order to stay in business, arts groups must produce
returns. If you are a student studying the arts, chances are you have been ill-advised to have a plan B. But those who truly
understand the economic impact and can work to change the patterns can create a wide range of career possibilities.

change the patterns can create a wide range of career possibilities.中的change the patterns 转化为同义词alternative。
故填alternative。
三、2017 年高考真题
1. 【2017·全国卷I】
If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed
heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags.
They had nothing in common with me.
36
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer.
37
We slept in a tent,
cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with
Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s
food poisoning.
I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness.
38
Instead, we had a
pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the
necessities of life.
39
We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a
bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has
matching carpet and curtains.
40
It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you
find your way in style.
A. This time there was no tent.
B. Things are going to be improved.
C. The trip they took me on was a rough one.
D. I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.
E. I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.
F. After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.
G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.

和他的家人开始爱上了露营,甚至为露营购买了设备齐全的房车。作者认为露营是回归大自然的一个方式,也建议
读者找到适合自己的回归自然的方式。

根据后文We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the
bathroom 可知作者第一次露营的条件很艰苦,C 选项The trip they took me on was a rough one.中的rough 暗
示了这一点,符合语境。故选C。

根据前文We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the
bathroom 可知作者第一次露营时住帐篷,露天生火做饭,走很远的距离去洗澡、上厕所,条件很艰苦,而
后文中Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. 说明作者第二次露营有
床有空调。A 选项This time there was no tent"这次没有帐篷了"暗示作者进行了第二次露营,而且条件比
较好,符合语境。故选A。
39. F
根据后文we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a
separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.可知作

find your way in style.可知作者希望每个人能找到适合自己的回归自然的方法,而根据前文可知作者回归自然
的方式就是露营。E 选项I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.(我必须得承认我真的开始享受

Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning, and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy
morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock.
36
Here’s how to make one.
●
37
In order to make a change, you need to decide why it’s important. Do you want to get up in time to
have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about
your reasons, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.
●Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If
you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags.
38
That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.
●Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could
sound wonderful. But compensating on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study
found.
39
●Keep a record and evaluate it weekly. Keep track of your efforts and write down how you feel. After you’ve tried a
new method for a week, take a look at your record.

If not, take another look at other methods you could try.
A. Get a sleep specialist.
B. Find the right motivation.
C. A better plan for sleep can help.
D. And consider setting a second alarm.
E. If the steps you take are working, keep it up.

根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within
a month.
71
One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories.
72
We
know that, while awake, fresh memories
are recorded by reinforcing(加强) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we
sleep have been unclear.
Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神经元) in the brain can be
weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day.
73
Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right.
74
The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a
period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons
weaken while sleeping.
If Tononi’s theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night’s, we find it harder the next day to concentrate
and learn new information — our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.
Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner.
The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size.
75
"You keep what
matters,"Tononi says.
A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.
B. It’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.
C. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.
D. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.
E. That’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.
F. "Sleep is the price we pay for learning,"says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.
G. Tononi’s team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.
【语篇解读】试题分析:本文讲述了睡眠的重要性。
71.C 【解析】根据前一句When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month.老鼠如果不睡觉,一个月它
们就死了,同样,人几天不睡觉,也会生病,人和动物匹配,死和生病形成对比,故选C。
72.E 【解析】根据前一句提到的睡觉有助于帮助我们加强新的记忆,所以学生在学习新知识后有机会睡一觉,他们
在考试中就会表现得更好,前后逻辑关系很顺畅,因果联系,故选E。
73.F 【解析】根据下文中的he,可知此处要提到一个人,以及他的理论故选F。
74.G 【解析】根据下文中提到的关键词synapses in the mice 可知,他肯定做了老鼠的实验,答案为G。
75.B 【解析】根据后一句提到的You keep whatmatters 你记住重要的东西,可知大脑会把最重要的记忆保存下来,故选B。

How to Do Man-on-the-Street Interviews
The man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview
people on the spot.
31
But with these tips, your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.
●When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story, think about the topic and
develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it. For example, if your topic is about environmental problems in
America, you might ask, "Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?"
32
●Hit the streets with confidence.
33
Say, "Excuse me, I work for XYZ News, and I was wondering if you
could share your opinion about this topic."This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you.
●Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested in talking on camera. Don’t get discouraged.
【公众号:实用视界 +VX:18071191557】
第140 页共218 页
●
34
Each interview that you get on the street shouldn’t be longer than ten minutes. As soon as you get
the answer you need, move on to the next person. Make sure that as you go from interview to interview, you are getting a
variety of answers. If everyone is giving you the same answer, you won’t be able to use it. A safe number of interviews to
conduct is about six to ten.
35
●If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air, don’t leave work
without them.
A. Limit your time.
B. As you approach people, be polite.
C. If you don’t own a camera, you can buy one.
D. For new reporters, this can seem like a challenging task.
E. To get good and useful results, ask them the same question.
F. That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need.
G. With a question like this, you will get more than a "Yes"or "No"reply.【解析】

阅读表达
阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
In the years of my growing up, Dad was strict with me. He made sure I made my bed and did my homework. He would
call in advance to make sure there was no alcohol at the party. I got so angry with him for laying down the law. I would
scream, “ I hate you!” Dad would yell back, “Good! I don’t care!” Deep down I knew he did.
One time at a party, I drank too much alcohol and got so sick. I said, “ Call my dad.” Next thing, Dad was carrying me to
the car. I woke up the next morning, thinking I would definitely be criticised. As expected, I got a roasting, but I now
understand why I needed discipline.
Dad was 29 when he got his big roles in films. I had an early start at the age of nine with a role in a 1990s TV series,
but it wasn’t until I finished film studies that I pursued my career as an actress. Like those early days for Dad, I faced lots of
rejections. Working in such a competitive industry, I’ve sometimes thought, “I can’t do this any more.”
Once, after a trip to Hollywood, I returned to Australia so depressed and spent months in my bedroom painting,
listening to Eckhart Tolle’s music and trying to find myself again. Dad sat me down and said,“Alice, I know it’s hard, but it’s
all about persistence(坚持不懈).”
Now I get to work with Dad a lot, which I love. We are both passionate about acting, which comes from us being so
interested in people. If it weren’t for Dad, I wouldn’t be where I am today. He’s my biggest fan, and when you have that in
your life you can go a long way.
56. What rules did Alice’s father set for her when she was growing up?(no more than 15 words)
57. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean? (no more than 5 words)
58. What did Alice’s father do when she felt depressed? (no more than 5 words)
59. According to the last paragraph, what do Alice and her father have in common? (no more than 10 words)
60. What do you think of Alice’s father? Please explain. (no more than 20 words)
【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了一个严父、慈父对女儿的教育培养以及对女儿的影响。
56.
She should make her bed, do her homework and drink no alcohol.
Or: Making her bed, doing her homework and drinking no alcohol.【解析】根据文章第一段的句子He made sure I made
my bed and did my homework. He would call in advance to make sure there was no alcohol at the party. I got so angry with

57.

根据文章第三段的内容:Dad was 29 when he got his big roles in films. I had an early start at the age of nine with a role in
a 1990s TV series, but it wasn’t until I finished film studies that I pursued my career as an actress. Like those early days for
Dad, I faced lots of rejections.可以判断出我和父亲早年的时候一样,面对了许多次的拒绝,即受到了批评。

激励了她。

about acting, which comes from us being so interested in people.可以判断出爱丽斯和她的父亲的共同点就是对演艺事
业充满了激情,对人们感兴趣。
60.
He is a good/devoted/caring/loving father because he was strict with his daughter and encouraged her when she was in
trouble.
Or: He is always supportive/a source of strength. Whenever she is in trouble, he is there for her. 【解析】根据第一段的句
子Dad was strict with me. He made sure I made my bed and did my homework. He would call in advance to make sure
there was no alcohol at the party.和第二段的句子As expected, I got a roasting, but I now understand why I needed
discipline.可知,爱丽斯的父亲对女儿严格要求,是一个严父。由第四段内容Once, after a trip to Hollywood, I returned
to Australia so depressed and spent months in my bedroom painting, listening to Eckhart Tolle’s music and trying to find
myself again. Dad sat me down and said,“Alice, I know it’s hard, but it’s all about persistence(坚持不懈).”可以判断出爱丽
斯的父亲对女儿的关爱和鼓励,所以判断出爱丽斯的父亲是一个好父亲,是女儿力量的源泉。

注意:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。
Population Change
Why is the world’s population growing? The answer is not what you might think. The reason for the explosion is not
that people have been reproducing like rabbits, but that people have stopped dropping dead like flies. In 1900, people died
at the average age of 30. By 2000 the average age was 65. But while increasing health was a typical feature of the 20th
century, declining birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st.
Statistics show that the average number of births per woman has fallen from 4.9 in the early 1960s to 2.5 nowadays.
Furthermore, around 50% of the world’s population live in regions where the figure is now below the replacement level
(i.e.2.1 births per woman) and almost all developed nations are experiencing sub-replacement birth rate. You might think
that developing nations would make up the loss(especially since 80% of the world’s people now live in such nations), but
you’d be wrong. Declining birth rate is a major problem in many developing regions too, which might cause catastrophic
global shortages of work force within a few decades.
A great decline in young work force is likely to occur in China, for instance. What does it imply? First, China needs to
undergo rapid economic development before a population decline hits the country. Second, if other factors such as
technology remain constant, economic growth and material expectations will fall well below recent standards and this
could invite trouble.
Russia is another country with population problems that could break its economic promise. Since 1992 the number of
people dying has been bigger than that of those being born by a massive 50%. Indeed official figures suggest the country
has shrunk by 5% since 1993 and people in Russia live a shorter life now than those in 1961. Why is this occurring? Nobody
is quite sure, but poor diet and above all long-time alcoholism have much to do with it. If current trends don’t bend,
Russia’s population will be about the size of Yemen’s by the year 2050.
In the north of India, the population is booming due to high birth rates, but in the south, where most economic
development is taking place, birth rate is falling rapidly. In a further twist, birth rate is highest in poorly educated rural
areas and lowest in highly educated urban areas. In total, 25% of India’s working-age population has no education. In 2030,
a sixth of the country’s potential work force could be totally uneducated.
One solution is obviously to import foreign workers via immigration. As for the USA, it is almost unique among
developed nations in having a population that is expected to grow by 20% from 2010-2030. Moreover, the USA has a track
record of successfully accepting immigrants. As a result it’s likely to see a rise in the size of its working-age population and
to witness strong economic growth over the longer term.

Population Change
【文章大意】文章关注的是人口出生率的下降。得益于医学的进步,全世界的人口虽然在增长,但是不断下降
的出生率却是二十一世纪面临的一个严峻问题。
71. lower【解析】根据"declining birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st"可知,21 世纪的出生率比20 世纪低,
且much/ even/far/a lot/ a little 等修饰比较级,故填lower。
72. size/scale【解析】根据第二段中的"almost all developed nations are experiencing sub-replacement birth rate"可知,
发达国家人口出生率正在下降,即人口难以维持现有的规模,"maintain"一词是做题的依据,故填size/scale。
73. immediate【解析】根据第二段中的"which might cause catastrophic global shortages of work force within a few
decades"中的"within a few decades"可知,出生率的下降对发展中国家和全球的消极影响还没有发生,由此联想
The birth rate in the 21st century may be much (71)

劳动力的危机,故填older。
76. earlier【解析】根据"the country has shrunk by 5% since 1993 and people in Russia live a shorter life now than those in
1961...but poor diet and above all long-time alcoholism have much to do with it"可知,俄罗斯人口由于缩短的寿命而急
剧下降。
77. living/life【解析】此处是说,如果俄罗斯人改变他们的生活方式,他们的情况可能会好一些。
78. equality【解析】根据倒数第二段中的"but in the south, where most economic development is taking place, birth rate
is falling rapidly"可知,教育可以降低出生率,因此,可以通过普及教育来抑制人口增长。
79. immigration【解析】根据最后一段中的"One solution is obviously to import foreign workers via immigration."可知,
通过移民来引入外来工人是解决劳动力短缺的一种方法。
80. compensate【解析】根据最后一段中的"Moreover, the USA has a track record of successfully accepting immigrants.
As a result it’s likely to see a rise in the size of its working-age population"可知,美国的移民政策将会使劳动力有所增
加。接纳移民可以弥补劳动力的短缺。
【名师点睛】
任务型阅读题中的阅读能力同样要求考生在有限的时间内快速领会文章的主旨大意,快速理解句段细节意义和
理清上下文的逻辑关系,要能够理解文章作者的观点、态度和意图,同时不能忽视对语篇的整体把握和领悟。考查
题型分为以下三类:
1. 信息筛选题:信息筛选题是基础题目,一般可以直接通过将表格和短文进行对照,边读文章边找出与试题相关的
句子信息,获取到相关单词,有时试题和原文句型句式不同,需进行简单的逻辑推理然后找到相应单词,不需
变化,直接填入。例如第74、79 题。
2. 整合转换题:整合转换题是典型的二次加工题型,需要考生有基本的构词法知识,对句子成分和词性的对应关系
要明确。做题时不仅需要找到与试题相关的语句,还要根据词法和句法知识以及上下文的逻辑关系进行加工,
从而提炼出新词。可细分为如下两种情况:
(1)词形整合转换。被考查单词在原文和试题中充当的句子成分不同,因而需要在名词、动词、形容词、副词等
之间进行转换。例如第76、78 题。
(2)句型整合转换。试题中的被考查单词在原文中找不到同根词,无法获取单词进行转换,需根据原文中相应句
子的意义和上下文逻辑联系进行句型转换。例如第71、72、73 题。
①表格内词性、大小写和语法运用上要保持一致。同一单元格要注意在用词方面保持一致的格式。
②善用同义词和反义词进行转换。
③正确使用构词法。
④熟练运用语法句型转换。
3. 综合概括题:综合概括题要求考生对全文或段落进行总体语篇把握,通过观察表格的设置特点,从而归纳和概括
出所考查的单词。此类设题一般位于表格的第一行或第一列。为了更快捷地掌握概括能力,总结和熟记一些概
括性词汇及其固定搭配也是很有必要的。例如75 题。
基本的概括性词汇有:
总结、概括:conclusion, summary
建议:suggestion, tip, advice, proposal, recommendation
影响:effect, influence, impact
印象:impression
因果:reason, cause, result, consequence

【知识拓展】occur 和happen 的区别
1. occur 是比较正式的用语,可用于具体或抽象的事物,通常指按计划或规律在较为确定的时间“发生”的事。跟to
短语时,表示“想到”,而不是“发生”。例如:Something occurred 意思是“某事发生了”。
An idea occurs to me that going to Switzerland for traveling will be marvelous! 我想到去瑞士旅游会很棒!
2. happen 常指具体事件的发生,特别指那些偶然的或未能预见的“发生”,是不及物动词。例如:How did the accident
happen? 这事故是怎样发生的?
If anything happens, please let me know. 有什么事发生,请告诉我。
如果happen 后接不定式,是“碰巧”的意思。如:
I happened to meet him on my way home. 我在回家的路上碰巧遇到他。
注意:happen 和happen to 都是不及物动词或短语,不能用于被动语态。

The Homeless Hero
For many, finding an unattended wallet filled with £400 in cash would be a source(来源)of temptation(诱惑). But
the
16
would no doubt be greater if you were living on the streets with little food and money. All of this makes the
actions of the homeless Tom Smith
17
more remarkable.
After spotting a
18
on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down, he stood guard in the rain for
about two hours waiting for the
19
to return.
After hours in the cold and wet, he
20
inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find some ID so he could
contact(联系)the driver, only to
21
it contained £400 in notes, with another £50 in spare change beside it.
He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after
22
a note behind to let the owner know it was safe.
When the car’s owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the car—which was itself worth £35,
000—in Glasgow city centre, they were
23
to find two policemen standing next to it. The policemen told them
what Mr. Smith did and that the wallet was
24
.
The pair were later able to thank Mr. Smith for his
25
.
Mr. Anderson said: "I couldn’t believe that the guy never took a penny. To think he is sleeping on the streets
tonight
26
he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to stay in. This guy has nothing and
27
he
didn’t take the wallet for himself;he thought about others
28
. It’s unbelievable. It just proves there are
29
guys out there."
Mr. Smith’s act
30
much of the public’s attention. He also won praise from social media users after Mr.
Anderson
31
about the act of kindness on Facebook.
Now Mr. Anderson has set up an online campaign to
32
money for Mr. Smith and other homeless people in
the area, which by yesterday had received £8,000. "I think the faith that everyone has shown
33
him has
touched him. People have been approaching him in the street; he’s had job
34
and all sorts,"Mr. Anderson
commented.
For Mr. Smith, this is a possible life-changing
35
. The story once again tells us that one good turn deserves
another.

点睛:1. 完形填空解题技巧之一:上下联系—寻信息。完形填空中经常会出现前面的信息为后面的空白提供暗示,
而后面的信息有可能是前面空白的答案的情况。这时,要联系上下文,寻求信息以确定答案。第18 小题,考生可
以根据前两句中的“wallet”和第三段中的“wallet”来确定答案。
2. 完形填空解题技巧二:左顾右盼—找搭配。英语中,有些单词词义相近,而句型结构及跟其他词的搭配却截然不
同。考生不能单从词义上去辨析,而应审查空白前后的名词、动词、介词或非谓语动词等,比较与各选项的搭配关
系,然后确定答案。在33 题中,考生可以根据该空前的faith 确定搭配关系。如果考生从show 来入手,那么就很
困难了。

No one is born a winner. People make themselves into winners by their own
16
.
I learned this lesson from a(n)
17
many years ago. I took the head
18
job at a school in Baxley, Georgia. It
was a small school with a weak football program.
It was a tradition for the school’s old team to play against the
19
team at the end of spring practice. The old
team had no coach, and they didn’t even practice to
20
the game. Being the coach of the new team, I was excited
because I knew we were going to win, but to my disappointment we were defeated. I couldn’t
21
I had got into such
a situation. Thinking hard about it, I came to
22
that my team might not be the number one team in Georgia, but
they were
23
me. I had to change my
24
about their ability and potential.
I started doing anything I could to help them build a little
25
. Most important, I began to treat them like
26
.
That summer, When the other teams enjoyed their
27
, we met every day and
28
passing and kicking the
football.
Six months after suffering our
29
on the spring practice field, we won our first game and our second, and
continued to
30
. Finally, we faced the number one team in the state. I felt that it would be a
31
for us even if we
lost the game. But that wasn’t what happened. My boys beat the best team in Georgia, giving me one of the greatest
32
of my life!
From the experience I learnt a lot about how the attitude of the leader can
33
the members of a team. Instead
of seeing my boys as losers, I pushed and
34
them. I helped them to see themselves
35
, and they built themselves
into winners.
Winners are made, but born.

Raynor Winn and her husband Moth became homeless due to their wrong investment. Their savings had been
36
to pay lawyers’ fees. To make matters worse, Moth was diagnosed(诊断)with a
37
disease. There was
no
38
, only pain relief.
Failing to find any other way out, they decided to make a
39
journey, as they caught sight of an old
hikers’(徒步旅行者)guide.
This was a long journey of unaccustomed hardship and
40
recovery. When leaving home, Raynor and
Moth had just £320 in the bank. They planned to keep the
41
low by living on boiled noodles, with the
42
hamburger shop treat.
Wild camping is
43
in England. To avoid being caught, the Winns had to get their tent up
44
and packed it away early in the morning. The Winns soon discovered that daily hiking in their 50s is a lot
45
than
they remember it was in their 20s. Raynor
46
all over and desired a bath. Moth, meanwhile, after an initial
47
, found his symptoms were strangely
48
by their daily tiring journey.
49
, the couple found that their bodies turned for the better, with re-found strong muscles that they
thought had
50
forever. "Our hair was fried and falling out, nails broken, clothes
51
to a thread, but we
were alive."
During the journey, Raynor began a career as a nature writer. She writes, "
52
had taken every
material thing from me and left me torn bare, an empty page at the end of a(n)
53
written book. It had also given
me a

Hannah Taylor is a schoolgirl from Manitoba, Canada. One day, when she was five years old, she was walking with her
mother in downtown Winnipeg. They saw a man
36
out of a garbage can. She asked her mother why he did that
and her mother said that the man was homeless and hungry. Hannah was very
37
. She couldn’t understand why some
people had to live their lives without shelter or enough food. Hannah started to think about how she could
38
, but,
of course, there is not a lot one five-year-old can do to solve(解决) the problem of homelessness.
Later, when Hannah attended school, she saw another homeless person. It was a woman,
39
an old shopping
trolley(购物车)which was piled with
40
. It seemed that everything the woman owned was in them. This made
Hannah very sad, and even more
41
to do something. She had been talking to her mother about the lives of
homeless people
42
they first saw the homeless man. Her mother told her that if she did something to change the
problem that made her sad, she wouldn’t
43
as bad.
Hannah began to speak out about the homelessness in Manitoba and then in other provinces. She hoped to
44
her message of hope and awareness. She started the Ladybug Foudation, an organization aiming at getting rid of
homelessness. She began to
45
"Big Bosses"lunches, where she would try to persuade local business leaders
to
46
to the cause. She also organized a fundraising(募捐) drive in
"Ladybug Jars"to collect everyone’s spare change during "Make Change"month. More recently, the foundation
began another
47
called National Red Scarf Day — a day when people donate $20 and wear red scarves in support
of Canada’s
48
and homeless.
There is an emergency shelter in Winnipeg called "Hannah’s Place", something that Hannah is very

2007 BRICK Award recognizing the

of young people to change the world. But
53
all this, Hannah still

【名师点睛】
完形填空题的命题特点及答题方法:
1. 侧重基础知识,考查学生语言知识的能力
完形填空以文入手,结合文章的内容考查学生的基础知识,主要是词语搭配、固定句型、近义词辨析、辨析句
子结构、掌握语法规则的能力,其中考查实词居多。比如最后一题who are making a
55
in the world. 根据选
项提供的词马上就可以判断此处为固定短语:make a difference 起作用,有影响,故选D。
2. 上下文对照,考查学生捕捉关键词的能力
解完形填空题时,单独看一句话是找不到正确答案的,需要注意句子间的关系及句子与段落的关系。所谓上下
对照,即在上文和下文中找到与正确答案相同的关键词。因此,在做题时要边读边在大脑中储存上下文信息,捕捉
关键词。
3. 设置语境,考查学生的分析推理能力
旨在考查学生在选项都符合语法及句子结构的情况下能否利用前后语境去推断出正确答案。例如第51 空,she
has received a lot of
51
.(她收到了很多的……。)这是就要考虑到下文了,因为下文有这方面的举例,是给她颁奖,
由此可判断是对她的赞美,故答案为A。
4. 结合生活,考查学生利用常识的能力
目的考查学生的生活常识,看看学生是否善于观察生活,积累生活常识,能否利用常识去做恰当的选择。
5. 关注连词,考查学生对行文逻辑、句子关联的理解能力
此项用来考查学生在缺少连词的情况下,通过阅读能否理解句子与句子的关系,是否了解行文逻辑的要求,能
否掌握表示因果、转折、并列、条件、让步等的连词的用法。

36.D 【解析】考查动词辨析。根据“with their heavy instrument cases”可知,每天上学的时候,Gabriel 总是同情地看
着背着沉重的乐器的同学们艰难地穿梭于校园中,struggle 努力,艰难地行进,符合语境。
37. D 【解析】考查动词短语辨析。根据“ __37__at school for practice hours __38__ anyone else”可知,学习音乐的同
学需要比不学音乐的早到学校几个小时,为了练习弹奏乐器,turn up 原意“调高(音量)”,在此意为“出现”,
符合语境。
38.A 【解析】考查连词。“anyone else”指不学音乐的学生,学习音乐的要比规定的到校时间早到几个小时,before
anyone else had to be there 比规定的到校时间早几个小时。这也是Gabriel 不想学习音乐的原因之一。
39.C 【解析】考查动词辨析。本题需要结合语境进行选择。根据“as he hated getting to school extra early”可知,Gabriel
讨厌过早到校,因此他对自己发誓“不学”音乐,A 背叛;B 接受;C 避免,避开;D 欣赏。注意单词在文章中
的灵活翻译,只有C 项符合语境。
40.B
【解析】考查副词辨析。本段讲Gabriel 在一次音乐课上意外发现自己很喜欢音乐,与上一段是转折关系,故
选B。
41.A
【解析】考查名词辨析。that was __41__of his school’s standard curriculum 是定语从句,音乐课是学
校的标准课程的一部分,言外之意就是说,每个学生都得上这门音乐课。
42.D 【解析】考查形容词辨析。根据下句“actually... tried to hide... pleasure”等词或词组可以看出,Gabriel 在音乐中
找到了乐趣,并试图隐藏这份愉悦,由此可知,第38 空的意思是“演奏音乐很容易”。只有D 项符合语境。
43.C【解析】考查动词辨析。根据actually 可知,Gabriel 对音乐的看法有了变化,他实际上是喜欢音乐的,A、B、D
都是有否定倾向的词,不符合语境。
44.B
【解析】考查形容词辨析。Gabriel 不想让音乐老师看到自己表露出来的很明显的喜悦之情,transparent 指(言、
借口)易看穿的;obvious 明显的,显然的,故选B。
45.D
【解析】考查动词辨析。A.run 跑,经营;B.jogged 慢跑;C.jumped 跳;D.wandered 漫游,闲逛,徘徊。音
乐老师在教室里来回走动,听到Gabriel 弹奏钢琴的声音,就走过来聆听。wander 符合语境。
46.A
【解析】考查连词辨析。根据“and suggested that Gabriel go into the music store-room to see if any of the
instruments”可知,老师让Gabriel 挑选乐器,说明他弹得不够好,钢琴不太适合他,因此可知此处是因果
关系。
47.A 【解析】考查名词辨析。老师认为Gabriel 有着很好辨音能力,并建议他去挑一件称心的乐器。ear 辨音力,灵
敏的听力;taste 鉴赏力,欣赏力,指对作品的欣赏能力。由于Gabriel 没有经过专业的训练,不能说他有很
好的音乐鉴赏能力,taste 不符合语境。
48.C 【解析】考查动词短语辨析。A.occur to sb 某人突然想起;B.take to 开始喜欢;C.appeal to 有吸引力,引起兴
趣;D.hold to 抓住。老师让Gabriel 找一件自己喜欢的乐器。
49.B 【解析】考查名词辨析。A.change 改变,零钱;B.chance 机会,可能性;C.mission 任务;D.function 功能。Gabriel
准备试一下大提琴。给大提琴一次机会,即尝试拉一下大提琴,其余不符合语境。
50.C 【解析】考查副词辨析。根据But 可知,前后是转折关系,下句说Gabriel 发现自己很喜欢大提琴,说明前一
句是说他只是随便拉一下。
51.A 【解析】考查动词辨析。be committed to sth/ doing sth 致力于;be used to doing sth 某人习惯于做某事;be limited
to 被限制在;be admitted to 被录取,允许进入某地。根据“so that within a couple of months he was playing
reasonably well”可知,花了几个月的时间练习之后,Gabriel 的大提琴已经拉得非常好了。
52.D 【解析】考查动词辨析。本段与第一段呼应。学习音乐意味着早到学校,要把沉重的乐器背来背去,meant
在此意为“意味着”,构成句型It/This means that...这就意味着……
53.B 【解析】考查动词辨析。开始学习音乐之后,Gabriel 不得不拖着沉重的乐器早早地到学校练习拉琴。drag 指
吃力地拖、拉某物,符合语境。
54.B 【解析】考查形容词辨析。根据“non-musicians”可知,这里指不学音乐的学生的表情,根据第一段可知,不学
音乐的学生对学音乐的投去同情的目光,故选pitying。
55.C 【解析】考查介词辨析。leave aside 搁置一边;leave sb/sth behind 把……抛在后面,超过;leave out 遗漏,不

第162 页共218 页
提及。学习音乐就意味着要被其他学生用同情的目光注视,这里指Gabriel 走过去之后,身后的学生对他投来
同情的目光。同情的目光来自被Gabriel“超过”的学生。
【名师点睛】
完形填空的首句往往开宗明义,是文章的主题。细读首句可启示全文。而尾句往往是对文章主题的总结。所以,
它们是了解文章大意的一个窗口,对我们理解全文有着重要的启示作用。因此,要充分利用首句提供的信息,去挖
掘文章的思路,寻找文章的脉络与线索。一般来讲,高考完形填空的首、尾句通常是不设空的。先跳读这两句,便
可判断体裁,猜想它要讲的内容。若首句交代了when, where, who, what 即四个W,那么就是记叙文,很可能就是
一个故事,为了测试语篇的理解能力,出题者特别注意选材的趣味性,其结尾往往出人意料,耐人寻味。
本题而言,文章开头部分"For a long time Gabriel didn’t want to be involved in music at all. In his first years of high
school, Gabriel would look pityingly at music students..."告诉了我们一些很有价值的信息,比如:"For a long time"
的暗示作用。Gabriel 一点也不想接触音乐,这种想法已经存在很久了,暗示他可能会开始学习音乐。"look pityingly
at music students"同情地看着学习音乐的学生,也为下文的转折做了铺垫。
另外,完形填空题中对词汇知识的考查,主要体现在习惯用法和同义词、近义词的辨析两方面。习惯用法是英
语中某种固定的结构形态,即所谓的"习语",不能随意改动。所以,考生平时应掌握好习惯用法。对词义辨析题
的考查有加大力度的趋势。要做好这类题,需要有较大的词汇量和词语搭配能力、词语辨析能力,特别是在特定的
语境中能灵活运用的能力。本题的44、47 就是考查了近义词的辨析,第47 题的taste 误导性很大。
同时,信息的复现也是完形填空的一个特点。语篇复现的信息包括原词复现、同义词和反义词复现、上义词和
下义词复现、概括词复现和代词复现等。语篇中有词汇和结构同现的现象,如与语篇话题相关、意义相关的词汇同
时出现,结构同现,同义同现,修饰同现,因果同现等。因此,可以利用上下文寻找解题信息,从而确定正确答案。

【名师点睛】
"记叙文"类完形填空主要包括幽默故事、名人传记、人物故事等。文章以叙述为主。叙述上多半用平述的形
式,很少加入作者的评论。因此考生如果对文章上下文情景把握不准确,就可能会失分。为了减少失分,考生需注
意:
1、首先,读懂文章的首句,把握全篇主旨,弄清文章要讲什么。
【公众号:实用视界 +VX:18071191557】
第164 页共218 页
完形填空一般没有标题,因此读懂第一句很关键。第一句一般不留空,是个完整的句子,整篇文章的信息从此
句开始,因此读懂第一句不仅能够把握文章要讲什么内容,而且也可能把握作者的写作态度、目的。因此,考生在
读完第一句话后,最好不要急于看下一句,而是应先根据首句内容,对下文所要出现的故事进行推测,这有利于靠
近作者的思路,避免走弯路。根据文章第一段的第一句While high school does not generally encourage students to
explore new aspects of life, college sets the stage for that exploration 可知作者在大学期间探索某些东西。所以第41 题
I myself went through this
41
process 空格处应该填searching,和前文中的exploration 呼应。
2、其次,通读全文,掌握文章大意,理清各种角色。
记叙文中一般有两个或两个以上的角色,作者对这些角色的态度各不一样,即使同样—件事发生在不同人身上,
作者也可能采用不同的语言来进行描述。
3、最后,理顺事件的发生、发展、结局
记叙文类完形填空题多半以事情发展的顺序进行叙述,正确把握文章的发生、发展、结局对于把握文章的主旨
有着重要的意义,因此考生在选择答案时可以先理清人物的关系及他们各自所做的事情。
例如第57题The professor was deaf and any talking was
57
. I soon realized that the silence was not unpleasant.
中前面说作者报名上手语课,这里说教授是个聋人,这是符合情理的。按照事情的发展,考生可以推测在手语课上
应该是不允许讲话的,所以选择A 选项prohibit"禁止"。

本篇完形填空很好地体现出重在考查语篇理解能力,且不在情节上、词汇考查大做文章的趋势。其中对于语篇
的上下文复现考查非常之多。
语篇复现的信息包括原词复现、同义词和反义词复现、上义词和下义词复现、概
括词复现和代词复现等。语篇中有词汇和结构同现的现象,如与语篇话题相关、意义相关的词汇同时出现,结构同
现,同义同现,修饰同现,因果同现等。因此,利用上下文寻找解题信息,确定正确答案。如:
I learned that Freddy did several jobs after his
52
from high school and remained the same
53 person I met forty
years before .
53.A.daring
B.modest
C.caring
D.smart
【分析】同义词同现,根据第二段第二句“He had the rare balance of fun and compassion(同情)”,这里的compassion
与选项中的caring 虽然词性不同,但表达的是相同的意思,属于同义词同现。

【语篇解读】这是一篇夹叙夹议类的文章。在现代,野生动物正在遭受巨大威胁,每天都有一些物种灭绝。白
鹤就是其中之一。但是,有很多人正在竭尽全力保护这些物种免于灭绝。Chris 和Tim 通过努力,帮助一只名叫Emma
的雌鹤繁殖了五只幼鹤。
36.D 【解析】考查动词辨析。根据第一句“Wildlife has been greatly threatened in the modern age”和最后一句提到的
“…the species from going out of existence”可以推知,野生动物正在遭受巨大威胁,每天都有一些物种灭绝,即:“消
失”。D 选项正确。
37.B 【解析】考查动词辨析。前文提到每天都有物种消失,那么该句应指科学家们正在竭尽全力保护这些物种,使
它们免于灭绝。故B 选项正确。
38.C 【解析】考查名词辨析。上文最后一句提到科学家们竭尽全力保护濒临灭绝的物种,由此推知,该处应指Chris
和Tim 帮助濒危物种繁殖,增加它们的数量,这样它们才不至于灭绝。故该空应指“繁殖”,C 选项正确。
39.A 【解析】考查名词辨析。自从2004 年,Emma 一直由Chris 和Tim 照顾。该空和下一句中的“human caretaker”
呼应。故选A。
40.C 【解析】考查动词辨析。根据空后的“human caretakers”可知,caretaker 当然是照看Emma 的。故该句应指:出
生在一个国际鹤基地,Emma 由人类抚养照看。故选C。
41.B 【解析】考查名词辨析。根据空后的though(尽管)可知,though 前后的两个句子之间是转折关系。后面提
到,她过得很开心。根据转折关系,那么前文应该表示“但是这导致了出乎意料的结果”。B 选项正确。
42A 【解析】考查副词辨析。根据下文中的“become deeply attached to humans…even …killing some of them”等内容
可知,因为Emma 一直由人类照看,所以它没有将自己看作是一只鹤,而是深深的依恋上了人类。故选A。
43.B 【解析】考查动词辨析。根据上文,Emma 不把自己当作鹤,所以它“拒绝”和雄鹤生活在一起。B 选项正确。
44.D 【解析】考查名词辨析。根据even(甚至)这个递进关系可知,Emma 不仅拒绝和雄鹤生活在一起,而且因
为弄死了几只雄鹤而“臭名昭著”。故D 选项正确。
45.D
【解析】考查形容词辨析。Emma 拒绝和雄鹤生活,这当然使得她“不可能”生育小鹤,成为妈妈。D 选项正确。
46.C 【解析】考查连词辨析。上文提到Emma 拒绝和雄鹤生活,使得她不可能生育小鹤。下文提到两位动物园管
理员不想看到这一物种的灭绝。由此推知,上下文之间是转折关系。C 选项正确。
47.A 【解析】考查名词辨析。经过努力,Chris 和Tim 成功的将“人工繁殖”和“自然繁殖”结合在一起。A 选项正确。
48.D 【解析】考查动词辨析。Chris 和Tim 成功的将“人工繁殖”和“自然繁殖”结合在一起,这使得Emma 诞育了五
只幼鹤。enable sb. to do sth.意为“使……能够做某事”,D 选项正确。
49.C 【解析】考查形容词辨析。根据后文的more efforts must be made 可以推知,尽管两个人为自己的成就感到骄
【公众号:实用视界 +VX:18071191557】
第171 页共218 页
傲,但是他们还需要付出更多努力,因为野生鹤的数量在减少。所以他们还不能完全放心(白鹤不会灭绝)。故选C。
assured 意为“确定的,有把握的,自信的”。
50.D 【解析】考查动词辨析。根据because 可知,前后句之间是因果关系,根据more efforts must be made 可以推知,
野生白鹤数量在减少,所以,还要付出更多的努力(来挽救白鹤灭绝)。故D 选项正确。
51.B 【解析】考查介词辨析。前文提到:野生白鹤数量正在减少,很多其他物种似乎也在逐渐灭绝。该句提到,并
不是所有的人都意识到野生动物有思想,感情,以及平等生存的权利。很明显,该句是对前文出现野生动物濒临灭
绝原因的一种解释。故B 选项正确。after all:毕竟(用于解释和说明理由)。
52.B 【解析】考查动词辨析。针对上文提到的很多物种灭绝这种现象,作者提出一个问题:我们如何来消除将人类
和动物隔开的不断扩大的鸿沟呢?B 选项正确。
53.C 【解析】考查名词辨析。前文提出一个问题:我们如何来消除将人类和动物隔开的不断扩大的鸿沟呢?Chris
和Tim 的做法给我们提供了一个答案。C 选项正确。
54.A 【解析】考查名词辨析。根据下文中的“hold all the solutions”可以推断出,人类认为自己的“大脑”掌握着所有
的解决办法。即:人类认为自己的大脑可以想出所有的解决办法。A 选项正确。
55.A 【解析】考查名词辨析。根据转折词but 可以推知,人类想当然的认为自己的“大脑”掌握着所有的解决办法。
但或许他们可以用“心”更好地“引领”他们去保护这些濒危的动物。故A 选项正确。

黑夜亲自登门归还钱包。作者深受感动。文章叙述了事情的来龙去脉和作者的感受。
16. C【解析】考查形容词辨析。根据前文的“fear seized me. My wallet was gone.”可以推知,作者将钱包落在了公共
【公众号:实用视界 +VX:18071191557】
第172 页共218 页
汽车上,而汽车正在开往某个作者未知的地方,这使得找回钱包的希望渺茫,因此作者心生“恐惧”。故C 选项(unknown)
切题。
17. D【解析】考查形容词辨析。根据上一段中的“fear seized me”可以推知,作者在发现丢了钱包之后的第一感觉是“害
怕”。之后,作者开始在内心计算找回钱包里的那些东西所需要的时间和钱数。故该空应和fear 表达的意思相近,D
选项(heart-stopping)切题:令人心跳停止的,惊心动魄的。
18. B【解析】考查名词辨析。该空指下文中提到的“the credit cards,the driver’s license, the cash”,这些都是钱包里
装的东西。故选B(content):所含之物,所容纳之物。
19.B 【解析】考查动词辨析。两小时后有人敲门,丈夫去应门。B 选项(answer)切题:应(门);接(电话);应
答。
20. D【解析】考查动词辨析。结合下文的陈述可知,那位女士捡到了作者的钱包,她拾金不昧,将钱包完璧归赵。
由此可以推知,该处指“钱包里的钱一分也没有丢失”。故A 选项(missing)切题:不见的,丢失的。
21. D【解析】考查副词辨析。作者甚至还没有来得及到门口感谢那位女士,她就离开了。该空表示“甚至”,故选D
选项(even):甚至。
22. C【解析】考查动词辨析。在网上分享了这个故事之后,作者收到了某个人的来信,这个人确认了那位女士是
Erin Smith。C 选项(identify)切题:确认,认出,识别。
23. A【解析】考查动词辨析。找到了那位拾金不昧的女士,作者当然要“马上,毫不耽搁地”打电话去感谢对方。A
选项(delay)切题:耽搁,延迟。
24. D【解析】考查动词辨析。作者将钱包落在了公共汽车上,Erin 是在一个座位上发现了它。该空表示“发现”,故
选D 选项(spot):发现,认出。
25. C 【解析】考查动词辨析。根据文章最后一段中的“a bitterly cold night”可知,这件事发生在一个寒冷的晚上。同
时,Erin 又不认识作者。由此推知,该句应指:Erin 估计去一个陌生人的家是一个冒险的举动。C 选项(calculate)
正确:估算,估计,预料。
26. B【解析】考查形容词辨析。根据下文中的转折词but 可知,该句和she decided to take the chance(她决定冒险)
是转折关系。那么该句应指去一个陌生人家是一个冒险的举动。故B 选项(risky)正确:冒险的。
27. C【解析】考查名词辨析。该句叙述的是Erin 当时的想法:“如果我处在那种情况下(指丢了钱包这种情形),我
希望有个人努力地找到我”。该空表示“情况,情形”,故选C 选项(situation):情况,情形。
28.A 【解析】考查名词辨析。作者丢了钱包,对于作者来说,这是一个“危机,危难时刻”。故选A 选项(crisis):
危机,危难时刻。
29. D【解析】考查动词短语辨析。Erin 捡到了作者的钱包,在归还作者之前,钱包在Erin 的手里,Erin 暂时“拥有,
占有”作者的钱包。故D 选项正确。take possession of 意为“拥有,占有”。
30. A【解析】考查连词辨析。Erin 把作者的驾照图片发到一个论坛里,想看看是否有人认识作者。该空表示“是否”,
故选A 选项(if):是否。
31. B【解析】考查动词辨析。根据后面的转折词but 可知,该句和后面一句(她们想帮忙)转折关系,由此推知,
该句指:除了闲聊,作者和那两位妈妈从来没有说过话,即:从未和她们“交换过词语”。B 选项(exchange)正确:
交换,互换。
32. A【解析】考查动词辨析。作者曾经读到这样的说法:人们比以往更加四分五裂,即:人们不像以前那样团结,
不像以前那样互相帮助了。但是,作者遇到的这些人的行为方式不是那样的。上文中提到的Erin,two moms 都是作
者遇到的人。故A 选项(encounter)正确:偶遇,遇到,邂逅。
33. C【解析】考查动词短语辨析。回顾发生的这件事,作者感到很幸运:有人想帮助一个陌生人。C 选项(look back)
正确:回顾,追忆。
34.D 【解析】考查介词辨析。根据倒数第二段中提到的“people are more divided”可以推知,一般人在捡到别人的钱
包后,都不会像Erin 那样亲自归还失主。因此该句指:Erin 的所作所为远远超越了其他人的行为。该空表示“超过,
超越”,故选D 选项(beyond):超过,超越。
35. D【解析】考查形容词辨析。Erin 在寒冷的黑夜亲自登门归还作者的钱包,作者对此非常感激。D 选项(grateful)

27
I began my own personal weight program, I was filled with the fear that I would

【名师点睛】这篇文章是记叙文,难度适中,首先要通读文章,抓住故事情节和作者想传达的中心思想,围绕主旨
来解答会更有把握。本篇文章的故事内容体现了作者坚持不懈的毅力和不被困难压倒的精神。学生要抓住这个主题,
而且这个主题贯穿于整篇文章中。这篇文章的一个明显特点是上下文之间的联系非常紧密。做题时把握选项含义,
且要牢记上下文的关联对解题会很有帮助。
做题时要结合完形填空的特点,完形填空题有的考查词语同现、词语复现,有的则是要运用逻辑推理能力。领会和
掌握解题策略对提高完形填空的解题速度和准确率大有裨益。具体策略有:
1. 上下文串联和语境暗示。
这篇完型填空里面出现词语同现的很少,但是词语复现不少,就是指某一个词以原词、同根词、同义词、反义词等
方式重复出现在语篇中,语篇中的句子通过这种复现关系实现相互衔接。这篇完型的18 题和首句中的动词weighed
相对应;24 题中下文明显出现了project;29 题中上文出现了the fear;34 题是和下文的I lost 150 pounds and raised
$50,000!信息词对应的,都是属于这种类型。
2. 逻辑推理。
逻辑推理是通过对句子间和上下文之间逻辑关系的理解而推断出正确答案。其中,逻辑关系主要包括因果关系、转
折关系、对比关系、并列关系等。逻辑推理题需要考生全面把握上下文,难度较大,考生不能将句子独立开,要注
意对一个意群、一个段落的整体理解。这篇文章考查逻辑推理的题较多。19 题主要是上下文的逻辑关系,推断出是
程度副词seriously;27 题,根据主句和宾语内容推断出是as;还有35 题,通过通读全文和位于末端尾句推断出来
这是一个总结全文的主题句。

【2016·上海】Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each
blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the mow famous
Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively
51
work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory
Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.
In any case, despite so much evidence to the
52
, many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe,
53
,
that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from
54
without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.
Different cultures have different ways of
55
people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures,
particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making—all members of the department or work
group are asked to
56
to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have
tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general
57
. Some experts say that women will
become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional
58
managers cannot.
A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative, to make decisions on their own without
59
managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing:
60
the number of
management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be
61
with just a top level of senior
managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of
delegation (委托) much further than has
62
been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of
management control to
63
that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more
profitable under the new organization, rather than less.
Another trend is off-site or
64
management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on
projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the
65
of the team members in terms of what they
produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them.

【文章大意】本文是说明文,作者在第一段中提出道格拉斯·麦克雷戈所提出的人性假设理论中的X理论和Y理论,
并介绍了现代社会中一种新型管理理论:授权管理及其作用。
51.D
考查上下文串联。根据后半句…will do anything to avoid it可知很多人为了避免工作而愿意做任何事情,说明那
些人大多数人生性都是懒惰的,都不愿意工作,他们尽可能地逃避工作。故D项正确。
52.A
考查上下文串联。短语to the contrary 相反的;to the degree 在某种程度上;to the extreme 走向极端;在文
章第一段中提到了X 理论,大多数人都缺乏进取心和责任心,不愿对人和事负责,没有什么雄心壮志,不喜欢负责
【公众号:实用视界 +VX:18071191557】
第179 页共218 页
任,宁可被领导。而Y 理论认为大多数人愿意对工作、对他人负责,人们愿意实行自我管理和自我控制来完成应当
完成的目标。这是两种完全相反的理论,尽管对于这两种完全相反的理论有很多的证据,很多管理人仍然同意X 理
论。故A 正确。
53.B 考查上下文串联。本句中for example 表示举例说明;这些管理人仍然同意X 理论,例如他们认为如果要员工
效率高,就需要给与他们不断的监督。这属于X 理论的举例说明。故B 正确。
54.D 考查上下文串联。根据后句“...makes for authoritarian managers....”可知这属于专制的管理方法,他们的决定是
来自上而下的,没有任何商量的余地。故D 项“above 上面的”正确。
55.C 考查上下文串联。根据前段可知本文讨论的管理学的理论,使用本句使用动词manage 管理”,不同的文化中有
不同的管理人的方法。而且和下文中亚洲、西方的管理方法形成呼应。故C 正确。
56.B 考查动词短语辨析。短语refer to 提到,谈到;contributeto 做贡献;导致;object to 反对;apply to 适用于;
亚洲人使用的是协商式的管理方法,所有人都被要求对管理的过程做出自己的贡献。故B 正确。
57.A 考查上下文串联。名词agreement 同意;practice 练习,做法;election 选举;impression 印象;亚洲人使用协
商式的管理方法,这种方法是建立在共同的协议基础之上的,西方人也想学习这样的管理方法。故A 正确。
58.D 考查上下文串联。根据前半句“....women will become more effective managers than men....”可知有些专家认为女
性比男性管理更高效。因为女性更有亲和力,比男性管理人更容易与别人达成一致的目标。故D 正确。
59.A 考查上下文串联。根据前句“... encourage employees to use their own initiative...鼓励员工使用自己的首创精神”,
也就是说在做出决定的时候不要请示上级经理,自己做出决定即可。故A 项正确。
60.C 考查上下文串联。根据前句“the trend towards downsizing 缩小规模的趋势”,也就是要减少管理层的数量,可以
直接做出决定而不需要请示上级。故动词“reduce 减少”符合上下文串联。
61.B 考查短语辨析辨析。动词be honored with 被授予;be left with 留下,剩下;be crowded with 挤满;be compared
with 与.……相比;通过这种方法,公司只剩下高层管理者和前线的与公众直接联系的一线管理人。省略了很多
中央环节,提高了管理的效益。故B 正确。
62.B 考查副词辨析。副词economically 经济地;traditionally 传统地;inadequately 不充分地;occasionally 偶尔地;
根据后句“Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management...”可知授权管理是一个新型的管理方
法,与传统的管理模式不一样。故B 正确。
63.D 考查动词辨析。动词deny 否认;admit 承认;assume 假定,设想;ensure 保证,确保;授权管理是一种新型
的管理方法,省略了中央管理环节,保证了整个商业计划被采用。根据句意可知D 正确。
64.A 考查上下文串联。形容词virtual 虚拟的;ineffective 低效的;day-to-day 日常的;on-the-scene 现场的;根据后
句“where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses”可知在这种新
型的管理方法中,人们都是通过邮件和网络联系,说明这种一种新型通过虚拟网络进行的管理方法。故A 正确。
65.C 考查名词辨析。名词opinion 观点;risk 冒险;performance 表现;attractiveness 魅力;根据后半句中“
in terms of what they produce for projects,rather than the amount of time they spend on them"可知我们评价员
工的表现是根据他们的产品而不是工作的时间。故C 项正确。
【名师点睛】
本篇完形填空对于上下文串联及词汇的复现进行了集中考查,占到了三分之二。由于完形填空的文章是一个意义
相关联的语篇,围绕一个话题论述,因此在行文中词语的重复、替代、复现和同现现象是不可避免的。根据这个原
则,某一个空格所对应的答案很可能就是在上下文中复现或同现的相关词,考生可以根据这些词之间的有机联系来
确定答案。所以,解题时应联系上下文寻找相关线索,如某一个词的原词、指代词、同义词、近义词、上义词、下
义词和概括词等。但由于我们在做题时不可能总是重复地阅读文章,因此,在做完形填空时要培养一种捕捉并记忆
相关信息的能力。
如本文57 题考查上下文串联。亚洲人使用协商式的管理方法,这种方法是建立在共同的协议基础之上的,西方
人也想学习这样的管理方法。故A 项名词“agreement 同意、协议”正确。学@科网

【2014·广东卷】完形填空
Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers. Then again, teenagers have
1
feelings about their parents,
saying that it is not easy living with them. According to a recent research, the most common
2
between parents
and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. On the one hand, parents go mad over
3
rooms,
clothes thrown on the floor and their children’s refusal to help with the
4
. On the other hand, teenagers lose their
patience continually when parents blame them for
5
the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or
refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.
The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different
6
to these
problems. However, some approaches are more
7
than others. For example, those parents who yell at their
children for their untidiness, but
8
clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing their children’s
9
. On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the
10
of their actions can do better. For example,
when teenagers who don’t help their parents with the shopping don’t find their favorite drink in the refrigerator, they are
forced to
11
their actions.
Psychologists say that
12
is the most important thing in parent-child relationships. Parents should
13
to
their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say. Parents may
14
their children
when they are untidy but they should also understand that their room is their own private space. Communication is a
two-way process. It is only by listening to and
15
each other that problems between parents and children can be
settled.

2.Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each
blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their meaning, you would not
detect interest in romance among the artists.
51
, you would see plenty of animals with people running after them.
Life for ancient people’s earned to center on hunting and gathering wild foods for meals.
In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores, finding love is more
52
in people’s lives. The
53
is all around us. It is easy to prepare a list of modern stories having to do with love. An endless number of books and
movies qualify as love stories in popular culture.
Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be
54
. They ask, what is love?
Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth, but clean teeth go only so far. Scientists wonder
how much the brain gets involved. You have probably heard that opposites attract but that
55
attract, too. One thing
is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone.
First Impression
To help determine the
56
of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and had them talk for 3, 6 or
10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other’s individuality. Then students were asked to
57
what kind of
relationship they were likely to build with their partners. After nine weeks, they reported what happened.
As it turned out, their
58
judgments often held true. Students seemed to
59
at an early stage who would
best fit into their lives.
The
60
Knows
Scientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction. Many animals give off pheromones
— natural chemicals that can be detected by, and then can produce a response in, other animals of the same species.
Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling
61
to partnerships. In contrast, humans do
not seem to be as
62
as other animals at detecting such chemicals. Smell, however, does seem to play a part in
human attraction. Although we may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously, we give and receive loads of
information through smell in every interaction with other people.
Face Value
Being fond of someone seems to have a number of factors, including seeing something we find attractive. Researchers
had people judge faces for
63
. The participants had 0.013 seconds to view each face, yet somehow they generally
considered the images the same as people who had more time to study the same faces. The way we
64
attractiveness seem to be somewhat automatic.
When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations, people responded to
65
words faster
after viewing an attractive face. Seeing something attractive seems to cause happy thinking.

第184 页共218 页
【文章大意】古代和现代的人追求不同,现代人追求的是爱,但是科学家依然对爱还不是很清楚。
51.A
考查副词以及对语境的理解Instead 意为相反,Therefore 意为因此,Moreover 意为此外,Otherwise 意为否
则。观察空格前后的句式结构,可以前面用的是you would not detect.…,后面用的是you would see,使用的
动词不同,结构相同。由于前面有not,后面没有,所以可知此处表达为意思相反,所以答案为A。
52.C
考查形容词以及对语境的理解
romantic 意为浪漫的,stressful 意为压力的,central 意为中心的,artificial 意
为人工的。根据上一句话“life for ancient people seemed to center on hunting”及本句的“In modern times, finding
love is ”,分析语境,知道这两个句子是把古代和现代的情况进行对比。前一句用了center ,后一句用central, 两
者的关系是同根重现。
53.B
考查名词以及对语境的理解
priority 意为优先权,proof 意为证明,possibility 意为可能性,principle 意为
原则。后两句的意思是:很容易准备一系列的有关爱的现代故事。在当前的流行文化中,无数的故事和电影
归类为爱情故事。根据这两句,的意思,结合上下文语境可知道本句的意思就是有很多证明的例子,所以答
案为proof.
54.D
考查动词以及对语境的理解
tested 意为测试,imposed 意为强加,changed 意为改变,created 意为创造。
根据本段的最后一句话“One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone. 确定了一件事情是:爱
的真理还不确定”可以知道科学家研究的是爱是否能够创造,而不应该是测试,改变或者是强加。其中set in
stone 就像中文里说的“板上钉钉”,表示绝对不变。
55.C 考查名词以及对语境的理解appearances 意为外表,virtues 意为美德,similarities 意为相似,passions 意为激
情。根据划线部分前面的连词but 可以判断前后是转折的意思,而opposites 意为相反的,所以答案为相似
的。
56.C 考查名词以及对语境的理解ilustrations 意为说明,implications 意为含义;暗示;牵连,卷入;可能的结果,
影响,ingredients 意为成分,intentions 意为意图,目的。根据小标题First Impression(第一印象)以及后面
所描述的实验方法、内容和结果,可以知道实验的目的是决定吸引力的成分。
57.A
考查动词以及对语境的理解
predict 意为预测,investigate 意为调查,diagnose 意为诊断,recall 意为回忆。
根据58 题后面的judgment (判断),可以知道此处的答案应该是和判断同义的词。又根据该句后面的句子“after
nine weeks, they reported what happened. 9 周之后,报道发生了什么事情?”可以知道这一些是还没有发生的
事情,也就是预测到的东西。
58.B
考查形容词以及对语境的理解
critical 意为批评的,initial 意为原始的,random 意为随意的,mature 意
为成熟的。根据第57 题预测的东西,那么预测的东西相对而言就是原始的,最初的判断。
59.B
考查动词以及对语境的理解
memorize 意为记忆,distinguish 意为区别,negotiate 意为谈判,question
意为疑问。根据前一句话的意思“结果证明他们最初的判断是正确的”,该句要表达的意思和前一句相同,也
就是说“学生似乎能够在早期区别适合他们的生活人”。
60.A
考查名词以及对语境的理解
Nose 意为鼻子,Eye
意为眼睛,Heart 意为心脏,Hand 意为手。空格处的
词是小标题,是对本段的高度概括。它往往在句首或句末找答案。在本段的最后两句话都提到了一个词smell
(嗅觉),四个选项中和嗅觉有关的词只有A。
61.A
考查形容词以及对语境的理解
open 意为开放的,alert 意为警觉的,resistant 意为抵抗的,superior 意为
优越的。根据前面的搭配either… or…要么……,要么,表明此处是一个反义表达。前面使用的是战争,那么
后面应该是一种开放,也就是坦诚以对。
62.D
考查形容词以及对语境的理解
disappointed 意为失望的,amazed 意为惊奇的,confused 意为困惑的,gifted
意为有天赋的。根据In contrast(相反)以及后文“Although we may not be aware of chemicals 尽管我们没有
意识到”,结合上下文语境知道在这里表达人类没有像动物那么有天赋。
63.B
考查名词以及对语境的理解
emotion 意为情感,attractiveness 意为吸引力,individuality 意为个人的,signals
意为信号。根据上一句话最后一个单词attractive,结合上下文知道此处的答案和这个单词attractive 是同根
重现,所以答案是attractiveness.
64. D 考查动词以及对语境的理解enhance 意为加强,possess 意为拥有,maintain 意为维持,assess 意为评定。该
句是本段的总结,前面提到的是研究者做的吸引力实验,最后得出的结论就是我们评估吸引力的方法自动的。
这是评估的方法,而不能是拥有,维持,或者是加强,所以答案为assess。
65.C
考查形容词以及对语境的理解
familiar 意为熟悉,plain 意为普通的,positive 意为积极的,irritating 意为
无礼的。根据最后一句的表达“Seeing something attractive seems to cause happy thinking. 看一些吸引力的事情
似乎能够导致快乐的思考。”不能得出答案的表达应该是一种快乐思考,所以答案为positive 积极的。
【考点定位】这是一篇说明文,阐述什么是爱?
【名师点睛】这是一篇说明文,没有生词,主要是考查上下文理解和单词理解。需要正确理解4 个单词的选项,尤
其要注意一些一词多义的地方,如test, open, question。也要注意题目与题目直接的关系,如58 题和59 题;要关注
小标题以及段落的开头和结尾。结合上下文,留意那些涉及到重现的题目。

热情招待他们,还在工作之余带他们参加了很多当地的活动。
61.【解析】考查副词。句意:在我们去那座房子的路上,雨下得如此大以至于我们不能不想还要多久才能到达那里。
“so…that…”意为“如此……以至于…”,引导结果状语从句。故填so。
62.【解析】考查不定式。句中的would 提示我们作者还没有到达那座房子,wondering 后的句子不缺谓语,此处应
填非谓语动词,故填to get。
63.【解析】考查介词。“a pack of”意为“一群”。故填of。
64.【解析】考查定语从句。句意:它们被他们的主人训练地很好,它们的主人在照顾这些动物方面很有经验。先行
词为masters(主人),且从句缺主语。故关系词填who。
65.【解析】考查一般过去时。句意:我们的主人跟我们分享了很多他们的经历并推荐了一些很好的吃饭、购物和参
观的地方。“and”前后两个动作“shared”与“recommended”是并列关系,时态一致。故填recommended。
66.【解析】考查名词。由空格前的不定冠词an 与空格后的不定式to watch 可以确定空格处应该填名词形式。故填
competition。

69.【解析】考查一般过去时的被动语态。由“on the last day of our week-long stay”可知,句子时态为一般过去时。根
据句意:我们被邀请去参加一场私人音乐会,所以用被动语态。主语为we,故填were invited。
70.【解析】考查分词。本句谓语动词为“were invited”,所以70 题空格处动词listen 应用非谓语动词形式。听音乐这
个动作是由we 发出的,所以选用现在分词形式。也可由and 前后连接两个并列的结构这一规律解题,and 后meeting
interesting locals 为分词形式,故空格处填listening。

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
According to a review of evidence in a medical journal, runners live three years
61

don’t have to run fast or for long
62
(see) the benefit. You may drink, smoke, be overweight and still reduce your risk
of
63
(die) early by running.
While running regularly can’t make you live forever, the review says it
64
(be) more effective at lengthening life
65
walking, cycling or swimming. Two of the authors of the review also made a study published in 2014
66
showed a mere five to 10 minutes a day of running reduced the risk of heart disease and early deaths from all
67
(cause).
The best exercise is one that you enjoy and will do. But otherwise … it’s probably running. To avoid knee pain, you can
run on soft surfaces, do exercises to
68
(strength) your leg muscles (肌肉), avoid hills and get good running shoes.
Running is cheap, easy and it’s always
69
(energy). If you are time poor, you need run for only half the time to get the
same benefits as other sports, so perhaps we should all give

a try.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了跑步的好处,它可以帮助人们延年益寿。

其后用动名词。故填dying。

rice. Corn production has jumped nearly 125 percent over ___62___ past 25 years, while rice has increased only 7 percent.
A taste for meat is ___63___ (actual) behind the change: An important part of its corn is used to feed chickens, pigs,

(improve) water quality. Corn uses less water ___65___ rice and creates less fertilizer( 化肥) runoff. This switch has

According to the World Bank, China accounts for about 30 percent of total ___67___ (globe)fertilizer consumption.
The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture finds that between 2005—when the government ___68___ (start) a soil-testing
program ___69___ gives specific fertilizer recommendations to farmers - and 2011, fertilizer use dropped by 7.7 million

水稻多。故填has grown。

25 年里。故填the。

子。故填actually。

谓语动词是encourages,故improve 应该用非谓语动词。此处表示目的,故用不定式。故填to improve。

全。has decreased 后跟名词作宾语,故填pollution。

应该用形容词修饰。故填global。

由于时间是2005 年,故用过去时。故填started。

引导后面的句子。指物用that/which,故填that 或者which。

粮食政策制定人提供了很有用的经验。空格处表示正在进行的动作,while 后面省略掉了China is,省略句的原则:
在时间状语从句、条件状语从句、让步状语从句中,如果从句的主语和主句的主语一致且含有be 动词时,那么可
以把主语和be 动词一块省略。故填feeding。
点睛:学会分析句子成分。The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture finds that between 2005 - when the government started a
soil-testing program which /that gives specific fertilizer recommendations to farmers - and 2011,fertilizer use dropped by
7.7 million tons. 这句话中有两个定语从句。一个是关系副词when 引导的定语从句,先行词是2005,the government
是主语,a soil-testing program 是宾语,故此空缺少谓语动词,我们可以看出时态是一般过去时。另一个是关系代词
指代program 引导的定语从句,先行词是program,gives 是第三人称谓语动词,可以看出是考查关系词。代指物并
作主语,关系词要用that/which。

(high) cost on your health. Researchers have found that there is a direct link
between the increase in food eaten outside the home and the rise in

67. is
【解析】考查主谓一致。句意:快餐食物中满是脂肪和盐。fast food 的意思是“快餐”,表示一类食物,为不
可数名词,谓语动词用单数形式。故填is。

文中的by 可知此处应该填名词、动名词,所以填eating。

填careful。

is not good for the health 为非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面的整句话。

65.were used【解析】考查被动语态,此处表示过去的被动,故填were used。
66.fairly 【解析】考查副词,这里fair 是形容词,pleasant 也是形容词,所以需要将fair 变为副词来修饰形容词,故
填fairly。

Sarah

to get too absorbed in modeling. It is

(certain) fun but the lifestyle is a little unreal. I don’t want to have nothing
else to fall back on when I can’t model any more."
【文章大意】本文主要介绍了Sarah Thomas 在学业和诱人的职业面前所做出的选择,她认为在青少年时期要把
学业放在首位。
61. resting 【解析】考查非谓语动词。固定短语:spend time doing sth 花费时间做某事。
62. a 【解析】考查冠词。model 是可数名词,前面没有限定词,而此处泛指"一个",故填a。
63. was told / has been told 【解析】考查动词的时态和语态。根据语境可判断出谓语动词应该用一般过去时或现在
完成时的被动形式,又因主语Sarah 是第三人称单数,故填was told / has been told。
64. who 【解析】考查定语从句。非限制性定语从句中缺少主语,且先行词为Sarah,指人,要用who。
65. to prove 【解析】考查非谓语动词。want to do sth.想要做某事。

阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1 个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Last October, while tending her garden in Mora, Sweden, Lena Pahlsson pulled out a handful of small
56
(carrot) and was
about to throw them away. But something made her look closer, and she noticed a
57
(shine) object. Yes, there
beneath the leafy top of one tiny carrot was her long-lost wedding ring.
Pahlsson screamed
58
loudly that her daughter came running from the house. "She thought I had hurt
59
(I),"says Pahlsson.
Sixteen years
60
(early), Pahlsson had removed the diamond ring
61
(cook) a meal. When she wanted to
put the ring back on later, it was gone. She suspected that one of her three daughters — then ten, eight, and six—had
picked it up, but the girls said they hadn’t. Pahlsson and her husband
62
(search) the kitchen, checking every corner,
but turned up nothing. "I gave up hope of finding my ring again,"she says. She never replaced it.
Pahlsson and her husband now think the ring probably got
63
(sweep) into a pile of kitchen rubbish and was
spread over the garden,
64
it remained until the carrot’s leafy top accidentally sprouted (生长) through it. For
Pahlsson, its return was
65
wonder.
【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了16 年前的戒指失而复得的故事。
56.carrots【解析】考查名词单复数。根据上文的"a handful of"可知,此处表示一把小胡萝卜,所以应用carrot 的复
数形式。
57.shiny/shining【解析】考查形容词。根据上文的"a"及下文的名词"object"可知,此处需要用形容词作定语修饰名词,
故填shiny 或shining。
58.so【解析】考查固定结构。Pahlsson 的尖叫声是如此响亮以至于她的女儿从房子中跑了出来。此处是so...that...
结构,表示"如此……以至于……"。本题容易误填such,但要注意such 后面接名词,而so 后面则接形容词或副词。
59.myself【解析】考查代词。根据语境可知,hurt 这一动作的发出者和承受者为同一人,故应用I 的反身代词形式,
意为"她认为我伤了我自己",故填myself。
60.earlier【解析】考查副词的比较级。此处表示"16 年前",故填earlier"……之前,先前"。
61.to cook【解析】考查不定式。此处不定式表示"目的",意为"去掉戒指以做饭",故填to cook。
62.searched【解析】考查动词的时态。根据本段的基本时态为一般过去时及语境可知,此处应用一般过去时表示发
生在过去的动作,故填searched。

【答案】
I became
in playing football thanks to a small accident. One afternoon
I was in primary school, I was walking by
the school playground. Suddenly
football fell just in front of me
almost hit me.
I stopped the ball and kicked it
back to the playground. To everyone’s, the ball went into the net. All the football
on the playground cheered loudly, that I had a talent for football. From
on, I started to play
football with classmates
after school. I am a good player now.
【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了由于一次偶然的经历,自己喜欢上了踢足球。从此成了一名优秀球
员。
第一处:【解析】考查形容词用法。“interest(使感兴趣;使关注)”的形容词有interesting(使人感兴趣的)常修饰
物;与interested(表现出兴趣的)常修饰人。本句的意思为:多亏一个偶然的事件,我对踢足球产生了兴
趣。主语是I,故将interesting 改为interested。
第二处:【解析】考查定语从句。先行词one
afternoon 表示时间在定语从句中作状语,所以关系词使用when。故
将where 改为when。
第三处:【解析】考查冠词。名词football 为可数名词,前边需要有限定词。这里football 第一次出现,故在football
前加a。
第四处:【解析】考查连词。句意:突然一个足球落在我前边并且差点打到我。“足球落下来”与“打到我”两个动作是
顺承关系,不是转折关系。故将but 改为and。
第五处:【解析】考查副词。“hard(努力地;费力地)”与“hardly(几乎不;几乎没有)”都为副词,但是词义不同。
本句意思为:我挡住足球,并使劲地将它踢回操场。故将hardly 改为hard。
第六处:【解析】考查固定搭配。“to one’s + 名词”在句中表示结果,“to one’s
surprise”意思为“使某人惊讶的是…”。
故将surprising 改为surprise。
第七处:【解析】考查名词的数。“player(运动员)”为可数名词,所以all(所有的)后需要用player 的复数形式。
故将player 改为players。
第八处:【解析】考查现在分词。本句句意:操场上所有的足球运动员大声欢呼,说我有足球天赋。句中谓语动词
为cheered,say 在这里作伴随状语。与主语players 是主动关系,故将say 改为saying。
第九处:【解析】考查固定搭配。句意:从那时开始,我放学后跟同学一起踢足球。且“from now on(从现在开始)”
后边句子应该表示从现在开始所发生动作或存在的情况,不能用一般过去时。此处后面是一般过去时,表
示“从那时起”是from then on,故将now 改为then。
第十处:【解析】考查固定搭配。“踢足球”的英语表达为“play football”,中间不能加冠词或者代词。故将my 去掉。

so coolly. Then, when I was in the five grade, I wanted to be a teacher because I liked my English teacher too much. When I
studied chemistry high school, I reconsidered mg goal or decided to be a doctor. They were two reasons for the decision.
One was that I was amazing at the fact that a sick person could feel much more better after seeing a doctor. And the other
is that I wanted to help people in need.

【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了从小到大自己的职业梦想随着求学经历不断改变的过程。
第一处:【解析】考查名词的数。“job(工作;职业)”为可数名词,用different(不同的)修饰时意思为不同种类的
工作,应该用名词的复数形式。故将job 改为jobs。
第二处:【解析】考查形容词的用法。句中的“looked(看起来…样)”为系动词,系动词后需用形容词作表语。故将
coolly 改为cool。
第三处:【解析】考查序数词。年级、班级是按数字顺序排列的,所以“在几年级”中的数词需要用序数词。故将five
改为fifth。
第四处:
【解析】考查副词。句意:在五年级的时候,因为我非常喜欢我的英语老师,所以我想变成一名老师。“so much”
在句中一般表达肯定意思,可与that 连用表示“如此…以至于”。而“too much”表太多,一般与to 搭配,表
达否定意思“太…以至于不能…”。本句话表达肯定意思,非常so much 或very much,故将too 改为very/so。
第五处:【解析】考查介词。“在高中”需要用介词in 或者at,故在high school 前加in/at。
第六处:【解析】考查连词。句意:在高中学化学的时候,我重新考虑了自己的目标并决定变成一名医生。“重新考
虑”与“决定变成一名医生”之间是顺承关系,不是选择关系。故将or 改为and。
第七处:【解析】考查there be 句型。句意:有两个原因可以解释这个决定。句中的they 在前边句中找不到指代关
系,且后边句子中的one 与the other 是对这两个原因的解释。故将they 改为there。
第八处:【解析】考查形容词用法。“amaze(使惊奇;使惊愕)”形容词形式有amazed(大为惊奇)与amazing(令
人大为惊奇的)。本句话中主语为I,句意:病人看完医生就会感觉好很多,对此我感到惊奇,而不是我令别
人惊奇。故将amazing 改为amazed。
第九处:【解析】考查形容词比较级。句中better 为well(健康;身体好)的比较级形式,多音节的形容词或副词构
成比较级用more 加形容词或副词,即more 不能与berrer 连用。故将more 去掉。
第十处:【解析】考查一般过去时。本篇文章使用的全是一般过去时,且与最后一句并列的“one was that…”用的也是
一般过去时,所以最后一句话时态应为一般过去时。讲述当时做决定时的原因。故将is 改为was。

允许作者看卡通片,而是让他和他们一块儿玩扑克牌游戏。长大后作者才明白,这些纸牌游戏在后来的生活中很有
用。
第一处:考查名词。名词作定语,往往表明被修饰名词的时间、地点、类别、目的或用途、材料或来源等。名词所
有格作定语则强调与被修饰的词的所有关系或表示逻辑上的谓语关系。此处表示“星期五晚上”,并不是所
有关系,故把Friday’s 改为Friday。
第二处:考查名词单复数。all 表示三者或三者以上,后用名词复数。故把sort 改为sorts。
第三处:考查冠词。这里表示“作为一个孩子”,a 用在表示泛指的单数名词前,the 表示特指。故把the 改为a。
第四处:考查动词不定式。句意:无论我要求多少次要去看(卡通片)。用不定式表示目的。故把watching 改为watch。
第五处:考查情态动词。would 后跟动词原形,故把to 删除。
第六处:考查代词。句意:他们会对我说玩纸牌有助于大脑。偷换人称代词,是对“我”说,前面提到的I,而不是
we。故把us 改为me。
第七处:考查固定搭配。be unwilling to do sth.意为“不愿意做某事,不情愿做某事”。本文介绍的是过去的情况,故
用过去时。所以在unwilling 前加was。
第八处:考查介词。play the games with sb.表示“和某人一块玩游戏”,故把for 改为with。
第九处:考查时态。根据上下文语境可知此处要用一般过去时。故把are 改为were。
第十处:考查宾语从句的连接词。句意:当我是个孩子的时候我父母教给我的纸牌游戏在我日后的生活中证明非常
有用。宾语从句连接词并不是表示地点状语,而是时间状语。故把where 改为when。

【文章大意】本文为记叙文。文章主要介绍了写作课上作者克服恐惧心理主动回答问题的故事。
第一处:考查时态构成。根据语境可知,句子用过去完成时,过去完成时的构成是had done,所以begin 要改为begun。
【公众号:实用视界 +VX:18071191557】
第198 页共218 页
第二处:考查非谓语动词。根据句子成分分析,本句有谓语为was,而且没有连词,与主语是主动关系,所以wait 要
用非谓语waiting,表伴随。
第三处:考查连词。句意:每个人都沉默了,等着看谁会被要求朗读他或她的段落。一次只能叫一个人,男女两者
是选择关系,故把and 改为or。
第四处:考查固定搭配。be eager to do sth 渴望做某事,故eager 后加to。
第五处:考查代词。句意:我已经完成了自己的作业。表示“我的”用my 不用myself,或改为定冠词the 也可以。
第六处:考查固定结构。be afraid to do 害怕做某事,所以that 为多余,删掉。
第七处:考查比较级。句意:我不敢在一大群人面前说话。这里没有比较的意思,故把larger 改为large。
第八处:考查主谓一致。that 作主语,谓语动词用第三人称单数includes。
第九处:考查名词单复数。错误不是一个,所以要用复数。
第十处:考查副词。此处要用副词在句中做状语修饰整个句子,故把immediate 改为immediately。
三、2017 年高考真题
1.【2017·全国卷I】
假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10 处语言错误,每句
中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧),并在其下面写出该加的词。

In the summer holiday following my eighteen birthday, I took driving lessons. I still remember how hard first day was.
Before getting into the car, I thought I had learned the instructor’s orders, so once I started the car, my mind goes blank, I
forgot what he had said to me altogether. The instructor kept repeating the word, “Speed up!” “Slow down!” “Turning
left!” I was so much nervous that I could hardly tell which direction was left. A few minutes late, the instructor asked me to
stop the car. It was a relief and I came to a suddenly stop just in the middle on the road.

came to a
stop just in the middle
the road.
【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在暑假期间考驾照第一天发生的故事。
第一处:eighteen 改为eighteenth 考查数词。句意:在我十八岁生日后的那个暑假。eighteen 意思为“十八,十八个”,
表示数量,eighteenth 表示“第十八个的”,故将eighteen 改为eighteenth。
第二处:first 前加the/my 考查冠词。句意:我依然记得第一天是多么艰难。句中特指开始学驾照的第一天,所以
在first 前加上the。也可以加上my,my first day 表示“我(学驾照)的第一天”,故在first 前加the 或my。
第三处:so 改为but/yet 考查连词。根据句意可知作者本以为自己已经掌握了教练的话,结果一发动车,脑中一片
空白,前后文为转折关系,故将so 改为but 或yet。
第四处:goes 改为went 考查时态。根据前文中的started 可知时态为一般过去时,故将goes 改为went。
第五处:word 改为words 考查单复数。句意:教练一直喊“加速!”“减速!”“左转!”。word“单词,消息”,words 可
以表示为word 的复数,也表示某人说的话,这里指教练说的那些话,故将word 改为words。
第六处:Turning 改为Turn 考查非谓语动词。分析语境可知教练的话“加速”,“减速”,“左转”都是祈使句,根据前文
“Speed up!” “Slow down!”也可以看得出来。祈使句应该用动词原形,故将Turning 改为Turn。
第七处:much 去掉考查固定句型。句意:我如此紧张以至于无法分辨哪个方向是左。固定句型so...that…表示“如
此……以至于……”,much 为多余成分,故将much 去掉。
第八处:late 改为later 考查副词。late 在此作副词,late“迟地”,later“稍后、随后”。此处表示“几分钟之后”,故将
late 改为later。
第九处:suddenly 改为sudden 考查形容词。句意:我来了个紧急刹车。suddenly 是副词,表示“意外地,忽然地”。
sudden 为形容词,表示“突然的;迅速的”,修饰名词stop 用形容词,故将suddenly 改为sudden。a sudden
stop 表示“急刹车”。
第十处:on 改为of 考查介词。分析语境可知此处表示“在路中间急刹车”,on the road 表示“在路上”,the middle of
the road 表示“路的中央”,强调的是“the middle”,故将on 改为of。
【名师点睛】
1. 谓语动词的错误是历年考试的重点和热点,常见动词错误类型有:①一般现在时与一般过去时错用;②and
前后动词时态不一致;③主谓不一致;④缺少动词,特别是be 动词;⑤第三人称单数形式错用;⑥主动语态和被
【公众号:实用视界 +VX:18071191557】
第199 页共218 页
动语态错用。
2. 名词的常见错误:单、复数名词错用,可数名词与不可数名词错用。
例如第五处将word 改为words。word“单词,消息”,words 可以表示为word 的复数,也表示某人说的话,这
里指教练说的那些话,故将word 改为words。
3. 冠词错误:误用a 和an(根据单词的第一个音素来判定);误用a/an 和the(固定搭配,或泛指、特指;多
冠词或少冠词)
例如第二处first 前加the 或my。句中特指开始学驾照的第一天,所以在first 前加上the。也可以加上my,my
first day 表示“我(学驾照)的第一天”,故在first 前加the 或my。
4. 形容词和副词错误:系动词(am/is/are/was/were/become/go)和感官动词(smell/feel 等)后用形容词;词
性的误用(形容词修饰名词;副词修饰动词和形容词)。
例如第九处将suddenly 改为sudden。suddenly 是副词,表示“意外地,忽然地”。sudden 为形容词,表示“突然
的;迅速的”,修饰名词stop 用形容词,故将suddenly 改为sudden。a sudden stop 表示“急刹车”。
5.
代词错误:代词的主格和宾格(I/me; he/him; she/her; we/us; they/them )错误;反身代词
(myself/yourself/himself/herself/themselves/ourselves)使用错误;代词的单数和复数使用错误;代词指代错误;多
代词或少代词。
6. 非谓语动词的常见错误:不定式、动名词作主语、宾语时;and 连接的不定式或动名词前后不一致;介词后
用动名词形式作宾语;某些动词后要求接动名词或不定式。
例如第六处将Turning 改为Turn。分析语境可知教练的话“加速”“减速”“左转”都是祈使句,根据前文“Speed
up!”“Slow down!”也可以看出来。祈使句应该用动词原形,故将Turning 改为Turn。
7. 介词错误:词组中的介词误用;介词意思理解偏差;介词的多用或少用。
例如第十处将on 改为of。分析语境可知此处表示“在路中间急刹车”,on the road 表示“在路上”,the middle of
the road 表示“路的中央”,强调的是“the middle”,故将on 改为of。
2.【2017·全国卷I I】

【答案解析】
【文章大意】本文主要讲了张先生和张太太的日常工作和生活。
第一处:all 改为both:考查both 和all 的用法,both 的主语是两个,而all 的主语是三个或者三个以上,故将all
改为both。
第二处:a 改为an 或one:考查冠词,因为hour 音标的首字母是元音,所以应用an,故将a 改为an 或者one。
第三处:interesting 改为interested:考查形容词,由于此句的主语是人,而interesting 的主语是物,故将interesting
改为interested。
第四处:that 改为which:考查非限制性定语从句,非限制性定语从句需要用which 引导,故将that 改为which。
第五处:earlier 改为early:考查副词,earlier 是形容词比较级,不能修饰动词get up, 故将earlier 改为early。
第六处:将for 去掉:考查动词,bought 是及物动词,后无需跟介词,故将for 去掉。
第七处:beside 改为besides:考查连接词,beside 是介词,“在……旁边”,而这里需要一个连接词,故将beside 改
为besides。
第八处:informations 改为information:考查名词,information 是不可数名词,故将informations 改为information.
第九处:came 改为comes:考查时态,本文全篇为一般现在时,故将came 改为comes。
第十处:pick 改为to pick:考查动词,本句出现了两个动词,所以要将第二个动词变为非谓语动词,又根据句意:
摘新鲜的蔬菜是目的,所以把第二个动词变为to do 不定式的形式表目的,故将pick 前加上to。

高考短文改错考点层次一般而言可依次分为词法的测试、句法的测试和语篇的测试三个层面。考点层次越高,
就越能测试出考生运用语言的能力。低层次的考点往往侧重于语法方面的考查,而高层次的考点往往侧重于考生对
文章意义方面的理解。
一、词法改错
词法的测试包括:定冠词和不定冠词的用法;名词的单复数和名词的所有格;动词的时态、语态、语气,情态动词
和非谓语动词等;人称代词、人称代词的格、物主代词、指示代词、连接代词、不定代词等的用法;介词的搭配;
并列连词、从属连词的用法;形容词、副词的区别以及比较级和最高级的用法;固定搭配和习惯用法。
例如:本题中的
8.informations 改为information 考查名词单复数
二、句法改错
句法的测试包括:主谓语在数上的一致性;名词性从句、定语从句和强调句;句子结构的连贯性、完整性、对等性
和逻辑性。
例如:
4.that 改为which 考查非限制性定语从句。
三、语篇改错
语篇的测试包括:上下文的时态是否一致;上下文中的代词指代是否一致;上下文中的逻辑关系是否一致。例如:
9.came 改为comes 考查时态

【答案】
When I look at this picture of myself. I realize
how fast time flies. I grown not only physically, also mentally in the past few

instruments. I enjoyed studying

picture often brings back to me many happy memories of
high school days.【解析】
第一处:删除realize 后的of 考查介词。realize 是及物动词,后面接宾语时不需要介词。
第二处:had→have 考查动词时态。根据时间状语in the past few years 判断用现在完成时。
第三处:and→but 考查连词。固定短语not only…but also…意为"不但……而且……"。
第四处:took→taken 考查动词。根据句意可知此处表示被动含义,故把took 改为taken。
第五处:become→became 考查动词时态。根据and 前面的动词entered 判断该句应该用一般过去时。
第六处:在picture 前加the/ this 考查限定词的用法。单数可数名词前应该有限定词,根据句意可知在picture 前加
the 或者this。
第七处:they→that/which 考查定语从句。they 不能引导定语从句,因为指代things,所以把they 改为that 或者which。
第八处:difference→different
考查形容词。修饰名词kinds 应该用形容词形式。
第九处:late→latest 考查形容词最高级。根据句意可知此处指最新的音乐唱片,故把late 改为latest。
第十处:your→my
考查代词。根据句意可知此处是我高中时代生活的美好回忆,故把your 改为my。

【试题分析】
书面表达具有很强的开放性和选择性,给予考生畅所欲言的空间,摆脱单一方法,唯一答案的思维模式,在
展示多彩思维活动的同时,真正考查了考生语言能力、文化意识、思维品质和学习能力,让考生感受英语学习的趣
味与魅力,突出英语学科的独有特征。
2018 年全国卷I 书面表达体裁为应用文电子邮件,内容为回复外国朋友Terry 的邮件,向其介绍在中国家庭做
客方面的相关习俗。要求文中涵盖试题给出的三方面内容要点,即到达时间、合适的礼物和餐桌礼仪。该题型和内
容设计紧密联系考生实际,但是,餐桌礼仪这个普通得再普通不过的日常小节反而在生活中被很多中学生忽略了。
如果没有跨文化对比凝练出的思维品格和文化素养的意识,学生很难在短时间内写出中国老百姓的餐桌礼仪文化。
例如受邀赴宴客人可以准时到达但切忌过早到达。外地客人所带礼物常见为能体现客人当地特色的物品。但注意,
传统的中国人收到礼物后一般不会当着客人的面打开。中国餐桌为圆桌,正对门的位置为上座,一般为长者位置。
中国人特别尊敬长辈,用餐时,需等长辈先动筷子。吃饭时不得发出声响,强调“食不语寝不言”等。中国地域广文
化差异也很大,给予思维发散的考生提供了充分表达自己的空间和机会。
在宣传中国习俗文化的同时,对考生的跨文化意识、思维品质提出了更高的要求,鼓励考生站在外国人的角度
【公众号:实用视界 +VX:18071191557】
第206 页共218 页
讲中国习俗特色,积极调动语言,阐明事实,表明差异。
【思路点拨】
本文是一篇电子邮件类应用文写作。餐桌礼仪也是考生比较熟悉的话题。成文时注意以下几点:一、内容要点
要齐全1.到达时间;2.合适的礼物;3.餐桌礼仪。二、时态:主要用一般现在时和将来时;三、人称:第二、
三人称。四、注意使用恰当的高级词汇、短语或句型,以提高作文的水平;五、适当使用一些连接词和插入语,
使文章表达自然、流畅。
1. 浏览信息要点
2.三个任务点,第一段内容:问候对方,马上呈现对方所涉及的话题,拜访中国家庭,做客时间的要求和忌讳! 第
二段内容:做客拜访的合适礼物,可以适当延展,初次拜访,亲密朋友之间拜访,二次拜访,家庭情况适合的礼物,
通用的礼物等。第三段:table manners,可以描述两三个通常的中国人的餐桌礼节和忌讳的地方,有鲜明特色之处,
最后一句表达祝愿。
3.时态,给对方的建议和说明,用一般现在时,描述风俗礼仪这是客观规律性的东西,用一般现在时。
4.头脑风暴短语、句型结构,开始打草稿
5.行文
6.检查拼写和语法。
【满分范文】
Dear Terry,
How are you doing? Learning that you are about to pay a visit to a Chinese friend and confused about the Chinese
customs, I am writing to put forward some advice.
Firstly, I would like to suggest that you arrive 5 to 10 minutes earlier, which is common in Chinese traditional culture.
Secondly, if I were you, I would bring some appropriate gifts with me, such as souvenirs from my own country. Besides,
table manners are also what you should pay attention to. For example, you are not supposed to stick your chopsticks into
your food. Instead, laying them on your dish is a smart choice.
If you have any other problems, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Yours
Li Hua
【素材积累】
做客礼仪:
1. 预先约定一个时间以便对方事先作好安排。如果事先已经约定好了时间,就应遵守约定,准时到达,如需提早十
分钟二十分钟之内可以接受,不要迟到,以免主人等候,也不要太早到,以免主人未作好准备。这是一个基本礼节
问题。
2.如果有专属地域文化特色的礼物是最好的。如果朋友家有长辈,带点烟酒和茶叶或一些老人家用的保健品等;如
果朋友家有小孩,带点儿童玩具或买箱牛奶,然后加点烟酒或茶叶;
不要送钟、梨、伞等这些东西,被认为不吉祥。
3.主人会请客人入座上席,再请长辈入座客人旁。入座的时侯要从椅子的左边进入。在中餐结束时,筷子应整齐地
放在靠碗右边的桌上,并应等客人们都放下筷子以后,主人示意离席后方可以离开,不能自己吃完了放下筷子就走,
这样做是很没礼貌的表现。

近年来高考写作的命题常用的思想就是高起点低落点。高起点题目很高,中国文化,中国故事,中国礼仪等等,
但最终都把它们落在应用文的框架里,这就是低落点。写这样的作文,一定要注意不能写过于具体的内容,要找
最重要的,最熟悉的写,不要面面俱到,中国餐桌礼仪内容太多,100 单词无法写。找重点,以点带面。但选择重
要内容本身就是一种能力。

【试题分析】
2018 年高考英语书面表达体裁为通知,替学校的“英语天地”邀请学生看英文短片Growing together。继2015 年,
2016 年,2017 年连续三年考查信件认识人写信之后,全国二卷考查了应用文中的另一典型体裁,内容为邀请电影
相关的时间,地点的通知。学生对该题材和内容熟悉,对词汇的要求也相对基础。
纵观全国II 卷英语书面表达,从题材上来讲,除了2014 年考查了记叙文,十年中九年均考查了应用文,应用
文占90%。所以考生在高考的英语写作的准备中应当把重心放在应用文上,熟练掌握英语应用文写作的几个相关专
项,并且熟识高考英语基础词汇。

How are you? / How is everything going? / How are things with you? /I am writing to you about…./
I am writing to tell you something about….
写信目的:告知上课时间,内容及课前准备

的词汇和语法项目让文章更有文采。审题时注意本文时态主要是一般现在时和现在完成时,描述要尽量选择简洁的

Dear Mrs. Green,
I’m so glad to hear from you. While it has been more than a year since you taught us English, I’ve missed you a lot,
thinking about those happy moments when we stayed with you. Actually, I’ve been doing pretty well in my studies as well
as in my life. Apart from my academic studies, I always manage to find time for what I’m interested in. For example, I have
successfully got admitted as a volunteer for the 13th National Games, which is scheduled to be held at the end of this
August. To get admitted, I have made good preparations beforehand, trying to know as much as I could about my city,
Tianjin.
By the way, it’s my sincere hope that you can spare some time for a visit to Tianjin again, which has changed greatly
since you left.
Please let me know if you come to Tianjin.
Yours,
Li Jin

Dear Jim,
I’m happy to receive your letter and know you’re coming to China.
Of the two trips to the Yangtze River and Mount Tai, both are highly recommended. Personally, I prefer the tour along
the Yangtze, the longest river and one of the mother rivers of Chinese civilization. You can learn a lot about the history of
China and Chinese people. Moreover, the scenery along the river is amazing, with many well-known sightseeing spots.

Hope you’ll have a good time in China.

【思路分析】
本题考查任务型读写。此类作文对考生的能力要求极高。首先考生要以30 词左右概述短文内容。接下来要分
析票房收入变化的原因并给出自己的看法,并谈谈自己对票房走向的看法。作文以第三人称和一般现在时为主。
要点:
1. 概述:中国电影票房在2012—2016 年间呈现不断增长的趋势,但是2016 年的增长相比于前几年很缓慢。
2. 分析原因:票房增长与人们生活水平的不断提高息息相关,人们有了多余的钱,才可能消费、娱乐;另一方面,
电影的制作技术日臻成熟,许多优质的电影不断上映;再者,互联网的普及无疑起到了很大的宣传作用。
3. 看法和理由:票房增速将会小幅上涨或有所回落。只要给出恰当的理由,对票房看涨或是看落皆可。

写30 词的概述时,语言要简练、不拖沓。遣词造句要符合英语的表达习惯,尽量用上定语从句、状语从句和非谓
语动词与倒装句等语法和句型。同时注意语句的连贯性。
【参考范文】
The box-office income of Chinese movies witnessed a constant increase from about 17 billion yuan in 2012 to over 40
billion in 2015. However, that increase slowed down in 2016.
The reasons behind this are various. The fast economic development before 2016 was probably the most powerful
engine driving the constant growth in the box-office income. The application of new technologies and the wide appeal of
movie stars could also account for the increase. However, China saw a decline in its economic growth rate last year. And
the Internet increased options for movie lovers. Consequently, some viewers began to turn away from cinemas, leading to
a slower growth.
China's economy is expected to grow at a medium speed in the coming years, so an increase is possible in the
investment in the movie industry and the number of quality movies. Therefore, its box-office income will probably enjoy a
slight increase.
