二、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。
Urbanization
Until relatively recently, the vast majority(大部分) of human beings lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago.① . In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的) villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history-- a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.
Britain was only the beginn ing.② . The process of urbanization, the migration (迁移) of people from the countryside to the city, was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.
In 1900, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms. ③ .
Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies, it took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities. ④ . Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite (精英) and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing(收税) farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus(富余的) food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.
Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country. ⑤ . Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers.
A. That kept cities very small.
B. The rest live in small towns.
C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered.
D. Soon many other industrial nations became urban societies.
E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities.
F. Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive.
G. Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.

答案以及解析
1答案及解析：
答案：B
解析：略
2答案及解析：
答案：C
解析：句意:为了学好英语,我们应该尽可能找机会听别人说英语。考查非谓语动词。假设空处作宾补,宾语English与speak之间为逻辑上的被动关系,故用过去分词形式。
3答案及解析：
答案：B
解析：略
4答案及解析：
答案：D
解析：locked in her study为过去分词作伴随状语， preparing for a speech方是花三个钟头做的事。
5答案及解析：
答案：D
解析：考查动词短语的辨析。keep sb. informed of sth.不断通知某人有关某事；Have trouble ( in ) doing 在……方面有困难。
6答案及解析：
答案：told
解析：考查省略。句意为:谁应该对这次事故负责?是老板,而不是工人。工人们只按照老板的命令行事。根据省略知识可知,as told是省略了主语和be动词的方式状语从句,该从句补充完整为:as they were told。故填told。
7答案及解析：
答案：dating
解析：略
8答案及解析：
答案：in
解析：略
9答案及解析：
答案：Lost
解析：考查过去分词短语作状语。lost in thought源于be lost in thought “陷入沉思”,故由“be+过去分词”结构转化来的分词作表语、定语、宾语补足语或状语时,须用过去分词表被动。句意:由于陷入沉思,他几乎撞到前面的一辆汽车上。
10答案及解析：
答案：spent
解析：【解题思路】考查非谓语动词。句意:在2017年,他创立了自己的音乐工作室。那花费了他一大笔钱，但他说那钱花得值得。money与spend之间为被动关系，所以用动词-ed 形式作后置定语。
11答案及解析：
答案：fixing—fixed
解析：句意:我的手表坏了,后天我要找人修理一下。该句考查了"get sth. done"结构,it 与fix之间为逻辑上的动宾关系.故用动词-ed形式作宾语补足语。
12答案及解析：
答案：unlock—unlocked
解析：这里考査了 leave sth. done的结构,unlocked表宾语的状态。
13答案及解析：
答案：breaking—broken
解析：该句考查be done的结构,窗户已经被打破了,broken表示坏的状态。
14答案及解析：
答案：to carry—carried
解析：考查的是动词-ed形式作定语,修饰the plan, 计划是被实施的,因此用动词-ed形式。
15答案及解析：
答案：reminding—reminded
解析：分析句子结构知,himself与 remind之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故用动词形式作宾补。
二、七选五
答案：EDBAF
解析：1. E 第一段主要讲述了在过去，城市非常少，大多数人都是住在农场或乡村里，根据主旨可知应选择K项。
2. D[ 空格前一句中的beginning与I)项中的Soon相对应，英网只是个开始，之后一些
其他的国家也开始成为城市化的社会，故选择D项。
3. B 空格所在的段落通过列举数据来体现现在城市化的扩大，绝大多数的美同人住在城市里，少部分住在农场里，因此此空说明剩下的人居住在何地，故选择B项。
4. A 此空之前在阐述过去城市不可能大的原因，因此A项与前面的意思对应。
5. F 空格前一句阐述工业革命打破了此前城市和乡村的这种平衡，因此空格处是对前一
句内容的进一步阐述，因此选择F项。
三、短文填空
答案：listening; its; coming; expressed; reflecting; as; have been; performers; sung; but/yet
解析：1.各个年龄的,各个国家的人们都喜欢听。enjoy doing喜欢做某事。故填listening。
2.它的流行在于它的快节奏和韵律。its为形容词性物主代词,意为“它的”。
3.来自于农村地区的乡村音乐。此处考查现在分词作定语,表主动。故填coming。
4.由于乡村音乐所表达的感情。此处考查现在分词作定语,表被动。故填expressed。
5.主要反应了美国人困难生活的悲伤情感。此处考查现在分词作定语,表主动。故填reflecting。
6.这种音乐在20世纪五十年代被称作rock and roll。be known as被称作,以…著称。故填as。
7.从那以来就有各种形式的摇滚音乐。根据时间状语since可知,应填have been。
8.很多表演摇滚音乐的都是年轻人。performer为可数名词,故填performers。
9.此处考查感官的词的宾补结构。宾语these songs与sing构成逻辑的动宾关系。故填sung。
10.歌词或许不同,但是音乐带来的喜悦是普遍的。故填but/yet。

Enough sleep helps the body and the brain grow and develop. However,many Chinese do not sleep well,and many do not pay enough attention to sleep. The Chinese Medical Doctor Association released the 2013 China Sleep Quality Index(指数)on March 19 to mark World Sleep Day---March 21. According to the index,nearly a quarter of Chinese people don’t sleep well.Half said that they feel tired after getting up and 15 percent people have trouble falling asleep. Ye Jingying,a sleep expert at Beijing Tongren hospital,says:“If people often wake up during the night,or always feel weak and tired in the day,they should pay at tention to their sleep pattern.” Many people play with their cell phones or i pads before sleeping.The report said that this is one of the main reasons for bad sleep.Other reasons include stress and bad moods. How to sleep well? Above all,get enough sleep.Seven to nine hours of sleep every night is perfect for an adult,and eight to nine hours is best for a teenager. Forming good sleep habits is important.The report suggested that people need to keep away from digital devices(数码产品）for at least an hour before sleep. The lights keep their brains excited for a long while.Other suggestions include:try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day,even on weekends and during holidays,and do the same relaxing things before bed each night,like listening to soft music.

高二英语寒假作业1 训练日期：2月 1日 第一节阅读理解 One of the latest trend（趋势）in American Childcare is Chinese au pairs. Au Pair in Stamford, for example, has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au pairs from aero to around 4,000 since 2004. And that’s true all across the country. “I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age” Joseph Stocke, the managing director of s company, says of his 2-year old son. “I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future,” After only six months of being cared by 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says. Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China. She didn’t want her children to miss out on their roots.” Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触) the language and culture.” she says. “Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom,” says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of Children.” But parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce wonders. Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.” The popularity if au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years. 【小题1】What does that term” au pair” in the text mean? A. A mother raising her children on her own B. A child learning a foreign language at home C. A professor in language education of children D. A young foreign woman taking care of children. 【小题2】Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them ______.

Earthquake safety is very important and there is more to it than just keeping buildings from falling down. So if your home is in an earthquake area, you should prepare carefully before the earthquake comes. First, make sure you buy a house which is earthquake safe. All pipes should be fixed to the wall and all walls should be especially thick and strong. You also have to make sure that there are bolts underneath your house. They are one of the most important ways of protecting a house. Make sure the building has no broken windows and is well repaired. Second, look at the objects in your house. Those in the living room, which are the most likely to hurt us, are computers, televisions and lamps. They can be tied to tables or stuck to them so they won’t easily move around. The kitchen, which is also very dangerous, must have strong doors on all the cupboards. This is the place where

Since its Monday launch, its creators say more than 1,000 people have “drunk others’ sweat" in Gothenburg. They add the liquid is cleaner than local tap water. The device was built for the United Nation's child-focused charity UNICEF to promote a campaign highlighting the fact that 780 million people in the world lack access to clean water. The machine was designed and built by engineer Andreas Hammar, known locally for his appearances on TV tech show Mekatronik. He said the critical part of the sweat machine was a new water purification component developed by a company named HVR in collaboration with Sweden's Royal Institute of Technology. "It uses a technique called membrane distillation(膜蒸馏)," he told the BBC."We use a substance that's a bit like Gortex that only lets steam through but keeps bacteria, salts, clothing fibers and other substances out."They have something similar on the International Space Station to treat astronaut's urine - but our machine was cheaper to build. Volunteers have been sampling the treated sweat since the start of the week in Gothenburg .“The amount of water it produces depends on how sweaty the person is - but one person's T-shirt typically produces 10ml , roughly a mouthful."
