electrical accident，which caused him to become both blind and deaf，the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years．The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life．His family，especially hiswife，did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live．One hot summer afternoon，he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once．He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet，but he was struck by the lightning．Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree．He was trembling badly，but when he opened his eyes，he could hardly believe what he saw：a plough and a wall．When Mrs Edwards came running up to him，shouting to their neighbors to call for help，he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years．The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread，and many doctors came to examine him．Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning．However，none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened．The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that，since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock，perhaps，the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock．41．The reason for Robert's attempts to kill himself was that．A．he had to live in a dark and silent worldB．a terrible traffic accident happened to himC．he was struck by the lightning once moreD．nobody in the world cared about him42．What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning？A．Taking a walk with a stick．B．Driving a car．C．Sheltering from the rain under a tree．D．Lying on the ground．43．What did Robert see first when he regained his sight after the shock？A．A plough and a wall．B．His neighbors．C．His wife who called for help to save him．D．Many doctors surrounding him．44．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage？A．Robert had been deaf and blind for nearly ten years．B．Robert hid himself under the tree for 20 minutes．C．Robert could hear his wife's shouting for help when he woke up．D．The family's love helped Robert regain confidence to live．45．We can infer from the text that．A．many doctors came because Robert was badly injuredB．a sudden injury in the head led to Robert's recoveryC．Robert's wife sent for doctors immediately after the shockD．there was no accurate explanation for Robert's recovery．46．（10分）The temperature is sharply rising with each passing day．People，including many experts，find it difficult to slow down the process．However，leaving coal and major fossil fuels in the ground could help to limit climate change in the future，according to a new study．That is to say，a third of oil reserves on the earth，half of gas reserves and over 80 percent of current coal reserves should not be used before the year 2050．If we are to prevent global temperatures from rising above 2 degrees Celsius in the near future，we ought to carry some measures to severely control the emissions from factories vehicles and even our daily﹣life cooking．However，it is a goal that seems to be impossible in our eyes．"Policy makers in different countries must realize that their attempt to completely use the fossil fuels within their countries is wholly incompatible（矛盾的）with their hope to reach the 2﹣degree goal，"Dr．Christophe Mc Glade at University College London's Energy Institute said in a statement．"If they go ahead with developing their own resources，"he added，"they must be asked which reserves elsewhere should remain unburned in order for the carbon budget not to go beyond the limit．"It's not surprising to see how tapping into these unused reserves would be attractive．Energy﹣related industry is a big business all over the world．There aremany coal reserves in China，Russia and the United States，along with over 260 thousand million barrels of oil reserves in the Middle East．Not to mention that oil is currently being developed in the Arctic．Companies spent over $670 billion last year in the expansion of fossil fuels，but according to the new model used in this latest study，developers may need to rethink their plans to develop these underground resources so as to make some contributions to control the world temperature from rising high in the future．"We've now got practical figures of the quantities and locations of fossil fuels that should remain unused in trying to keep within the 2﹣degree temperature limit，"added Mc Glade．World leaders and policy makers should take the advice to heart，because a recent IPCC report warned that if immediate and great actions are not taken soon，climate change will cause irreversible（不可逆转的）impacts on environments worldwide，leaving the world an unsafe place for us to live in．46．According to Paragraph 1，our goal is to．A．discover more fossil fuels for the future generationB．slow down the climate changeC．refuse to use reserves on the earthD．keep the temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius47．The underlined word"emissions"in Paragraph 1refers to．A．things that are sent out into the airB．products that are made from fossil fuelsC．factors that cause the climate changeD．changes that happen after temperature rise48．According to what Mc Glade said in Paragraph 2，all countries should．A．make full use of their fossil fuelsB．work together towards the 2﹣degree goalC．find better ways to dig out the coalD．increase the global carbon budget49．We can infer from Paragraph 3 that great efforts have been made in．A．digging out the oil in the Middle EastB．getting people to rethink their fuel plansC．developing fossil fuels around the worldD．developing energy﹣related industry worldwide50．What is the author's attitude towards the future of temperature control？A．Confident．B．Negative．C．Satisfied．D．Unclear．51．（10分）It's hard to find Alice Munro in the media．Even after she won the 2013Nobel Prize in Literature，the Canadian writer just appeared for a quick interview and then dropped out of sight．On Dec 29th，she still didn't seek the spotlight when she was named one of the five Women of the Year by the Financial Times．In Munro's eyes，ordinary lives always hide larger dramas．So she records what we casually think of as the everyday actions of normal people．She often focuses on life in her hometown，a small village in Ontario which she is most familiar with．She writes about the ordinary things in the village﹣trees in the Ontario wilderness，poor country schools and long last illnesses．Above all，she talks about girls and women who have seemingly ordinary lives but struggle against daily misfortune．She has a special talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the ordinary．These are ordinary people，ordinary stories，but she has the magic．Her precise language，depth of detail and the logic of her storytelling have made her stories inviting．Runaway，one of Munro's representative works，is a good example of her writing style．One of the stories centers on the life of an ordinary woman Carla，who lives in a small Canadian town with her husband Clark．The story slowly forms a picture of Carla，trapped in a bad marriage，her unhappiness building into desperation until she decides to flee．The story of Carla is a story of the power and betrayals of love．It isabout lost children and lost chances that we can all find in life．There is pain beneath the surface，like a needle in the heart．Since she published her first collection of short stories in 1968，Munro has won many awards，with the Nobel Prize being her biggest honor．On Oct 10th，2013，the Nobel Prize committee named Munro the"master of the contemporary short story"．51．We learn from Paragraph 1that Alice Munro．A．didn't get on well with the mediaB．was surprised at winning the Nobel PrizeC．didn't value the title of Women of the YearD．remained modest though very successful52．Many of Alice Munro's works．A．center on the happy life of country womenB．are about betrayals of love and violenceC．focus on everyday life of ordinary peopleD．are romantic stories setting in her hometown53．What makes Alice Munro's stories fascinating according to the text？A．The complicated plots．B．Her rich imagination．C．The humorous language．D．Her writing techniques．54．In her representative work Runaway，Carla．A．tries to run away from her husbandB．is a faithful wife to her husbandC．leads a happy life with ClarkD．loses all hopes for a better life55．What is the text mainly about？A．Alice Munro and her hometown．B．Alice Munro and her writing style．C．Alice Munro's representative works．D．The awards Alice Munro won．第三部分：写作第一节：阅读表达阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题．56．（10分）Science has a lot of uses．It can uncover laws of nature，cure diseases，make bombs，and help bridges to stand up．Indeed science is so good at what it does that there's always a temptation （诱惑）to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful．David Brooks，author of The Social Animal：The Hidden Sources of Love，Character，and Achievement，appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation．Brooks gained fame for several books．His latest book The Social Animal，however，is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books．It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics．The book focuses on big questions：What has science revealed about human nature？What are the sources of character？And why are some people happy and successful while others aren't？To answer these questions，Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines．Considering this，you might expect the book to be a dry recitation （背诵）of facts．But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox （非常规的），and perhaps unfortunate way．Instead of introducing scientific theories，he tells a story，within which he tries to make his points，perhaps in order to keep the reader's attention．So as Harold and Erica，the hero and heroine in his story，live through childhood，we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction．Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters．On the whole，Brooks'story is acceptable if uninspired．As one would expect，his writing is mostly clear and，to be fair，some chapters stand out above the rest．I enjoyed，for instance，the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own．While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters，the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere．These problems partly involve Brooks'attempt to translate his tale into science．56．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2？（No more than 10 words）57．Why does Brooks use a story to introduce scientific theories？（No more than 15 words）58．According to The Social Animal，how can we learn about the

Wine FestivalB．La TomatinaC．Stilton Cheese RollingD．Fiery Foods Festival．In business，there's a speed difference：It's the difference between how important a firm's leaders say speed is to their competitive strategy and how fast the company actually moves．The difference is important regardless of industry and company size．Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed．In our study of 343businesses，the companies that chose to go，go，go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track．What's more，the firms that"slowed down to speed up"improved their top and bottom lines，averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three﹣﹣year period．How did they disobey the laws of business physics，taking more time than competitors yet performing better？They thought differently aboutwhat"slower"and"faster"mean．Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operational speed （moving quickly） and strategic speed （reducing the time it takes to deliver value）．Simply increasing the speed of production，for example，may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference．But that often leads to reduced value over time，in the form of lower﹣﹣quality products and services．In our study，higher﹣﹣﹣companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary．They became more open to ideas and discussion．They encouraged new ways of thinking．And they allowed time to look back and learn．By contrast，performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time，paid too much attention to improving efficiency，stuck to tested methods，didn't develop team spirit among their employees，and had little time thinking about changes．Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership．Teams that regularly take time to get things right，rather than plough ahead full bore，are more successful in meeting their business goals．That kind of strategy must come from the top．41．What does the underlined part"gain an edge"in Paragraph 2 mean？A．Get an advantageB．Increase the speedC．Reach the limit．D．Set a goal．42．The underlined part"the laws of business physics"in Paragraph 3 means ．A．spending more time and performing worseB．spending more time and performing betterC．spending less time and performing worseD．spending less time and performing better43．What can we learn from the text？A．How fast a firm moves depends on how big it is．B．How competitive a firm is depends on what it produces．C．Firms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes．D．Firms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit．44．According to the author，what is the key to deciding strategic speed？A．Pausing at key momentsB．The size of companyC．The bossD．The quality of the products45．Which could be the best title for the text？A．Improve quality？Serve better．B．Deliver value？Plough ahead．C．Reduce time？Move faster．D．Need speed？Slow down．46．（10分）My grandma whom we all called Nanny was a solid，first﹣generation，Italian immigrant．She came to this country with her family on a tiny ship during World War I when she was only 8years old．During the trip she survived stormy seas，little food，and an attack by a German U﹣boat．After getting here，her large family worked hard to build a new life in America．They never had much money but were rich in love．One day，when I was about 5or 6years old，my parents and brothers went on a trip．It was just me and Nanny in the house for the weekend．Nanny seemed so happy to be taking care of me all by herself．She made me a special breakfast that first morning．However，all I could do was to complain about how the food was not how Mom always made it．Nanny quietly put down the plate and went into the living room．I followed a minute later and saw that she had tears in her eyes．It was the first time I had ever seen my strong and proud grandmother cry and I was the one who had caused it．I walked over to Nanny，climbed on her lap，and for the first time in my short life I did something else too．I apologized without being told to and asked Nanny to forgive me．She smiled，rubbed my head，and told me I was a good boy even though I didn't feel like one then．That memory just like my Nanny's love will stay in my heart forever．It is a sign of both strength and wisdom．Asking for forgiveness helps us to learn，to grow，and to love．46．Nanny's family immigrated to America mainly because ．A．they suffered starvation in their homelandB．they wanted to start a rich life in the new landC．they tried to get away from the terrible climateD．their country was in war and they needed peace47．The boy complained to Nanny that the food ．A．wasn't cooked the way his mom didB．was served a bit later than usualC．was prepared in a special wayD．was just to his parents'taste48．When seeing Nanny crying in the living room，the author felt ．A．surprisedB．ashamedC．shockedD．annoyed49．The author mainly wants to tell us that ．A．forgiveness can be beneficial to people asking for itB．hardships can make children more indifferentC．grandparents are more tolerant than their grandchildrenD．family ties can sometimes be misused50．What kind of person is Nanny in author's eyes？A．Joyous and jealousB．Hardworking and carefulC．Strong﹣willed and wiseD．Kind and sensitive．Wouldn't it be wonderful to travel to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language？In a recent Wall Street Journal article，technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that，within a decade or so，we'll be able to communicate with one another via smallearpieces with built﹣in microphones．That's because technological progress is extremely rapid．It's only a matter of time．Indeed，some parents are so convinced that this technology is imminent that they're wondering if their kids should even learn a second language．It's true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating"No es bueno dormir mucho"as"It's not good to sleep too much．"Replacing a word with its equivalent （同义词）in the target language is actually the"easy part"of a translator's job．But even this seems to be a discouraging task for computers．It's so difficult for computers because translation doesn't﹣or shouldn't﹣involve simply translating words，sentences or paragraphs．Rather，it's about translating meaning．And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression，humans have to interpret a mass of information at the same time．Think about all the related clues that go into understanding an expression：volume，gesture，situation，and even your culture．All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use．Therefore，we should be very skeptical of a machine that is unable to interpret the world around us．If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it，how can we expect a machine to do better？Unless engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer，undoubtedly when it comes to conveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language，a machine will never fully take our place．51．What does the underlined word"imminent"in Paragraph 2probably mean？A．Ready．B．Approaching．C．Helpful．D．Advanced．52．Why is it hard for computers to replace a word with its equivalent？A．Their data is not adequate enough．B．The real meaning of words can vary．C．Their accuracy needs big improvement．D．A soul hasn't been breathed in them．53．What view does the author hold about translation？A．Proper translation can be tough for humans．B．Slight distinctions matter little in translation．C．Some machines will interpret our world properly．D．Cultures deserve more attention than words used．54．What is the best title for the text？A．An Expert's Precise PredictionB．The Complexity of TranslationC．Who Will Be a Better TranslatorD．Will Language Barrier Actually Fall55．What is the author's attitude the modern technology？A．UnclearB．ObjectiveC．OptimisticD．Negative．第三部分：写作第一节：阅读表达阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题．Some years ago industries had more freedom than they now，and they did not need to be as careful as they must today．They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed．They took little notice of the health and safety of the people who worked for them．Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them and conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers．Of course，sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes．Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore．At such times，there were inquiries into the causes of the disastersor the problems．New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries； however，the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill．Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers．In the U．S，for example，there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems．It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow．Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell．A third department looks at the places where people work，and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers．Of course，new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness，but they are having some good results．Our work places are safer and cleaner than before．The planes and cars which we use for travel are better．Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products．56．What had bad effects on the health of the workers？（No more than 6words）57．In what ways do the departments protect customers and workers？（No more than 20words）58．Please explain the underlined phrase"took little notice of"in the first paragraph in English．（No more than 5words）59．What is the passage mainly about？（No

from_____in the USA．（）A．one B．it C．those D．that【分析】中国的教育体制与每个的不同．【解答】答案是D．本题考查代词辨析．it指代上文提到的单数名词或不可数名词本身；one 泛指上文所提到的可数名词这一类中的一个，相当于"a+单数名词"；that指代上文出现的同类事物，是特指，相当于"the+单数名词"或"the+不可数名词"；those指代上文出现的同类事物复数名词，相当于the+复数名词；本题用代词指代的是"the education"，education 为抽象不可数名词，故选D．【点评】对于代词的选择，首先理解各代词的基本用法，其次结合语境判断代替什么，最后在语境中综合判断；此外积累常见代词的固定句式．4．（1分）（2017•南开区模拟）Work_____they might，they didn't get the result they expected．（）A．although B．since C．as D．as

although在引导让步状语从句不需要倒装．【点评】考生须掌握该知识点并在具体语境中灵活使用．5．（1分）（2017•南开区模拟）_____the effect of culture shock，he is trying to read a lot about it before going to France for further study．（）A．To reduce B．ReducedC．Reducing D．Having reduced【分析】为了减少文化冲击的影响，在到法国深造前他正尽力阅读大量的关于文化冲击的信息．【解答】答案：A．本题考查动词不定式表示目的．根据句子语境判断"read a lot about it（阅读大量的关于文化冲击的信息）"的"目的"是"减少文化冲击"，所以需要的是表示目的动词不定式，故答案选择A．【点评】首先判断选项中的动词在句中是以谓语还是非谓语形式出现，然后根据选项在句中的功能结合非谓语的基本用法做出合理的判断．要关注常见非谓语动词的搭配．6．（1分）（2017•南开区模拟）Mary_____to writing classes every night since June and the course will end this week．（）A．had gone B．has been goingC．is going D．went【分析】自从六月份以来Mary每天晚上都去上写作课，这门课程将于这一周结束．【解答】答案：B．根据句中的时间状语since June可知，前面的句子应该使用现在完成时，又根据后面的句子the course will end this week，说明这一动作还没有结束，所以使用现在完成进行时表示动作还将进一步持续下去，故选B．【点评】本题考查现在完成进行时，表示从过去某个时间点开始的动作，一直持续到现在，还可能继续下去．做题时，重点体现一种强烈的情感．7．（1分）（2017•南开区模拟）﹣What do you think of Putin？﹣He is an outstanding leader who _________

to"期待，期望"．根据句子所表达的意思"他没有辜负他的名声"可知，答案选C．【点评】本题考查动词短语的辨析．英语中有的词组没有捷径，只有平时加强记忆，要注意区别，记忆的时候不能忽视，这是常见的命题方式．平时要加强记忆，做题时，别忘了要结合上下文句意判断．动词常和某些其他词类用在一起，构成固定词组，形成所谓短语动词（phrasalverb）．和动词一样，短语动词也可分为及物和不及物两种．短语动词可以作为一个整体看待，同一般动词一样使用．8．（1分）（2017•南开区模拟）I think her opinion_____，because she is an experienced teacher．（）A．numbers B．calculates C．figures D．counts【分析】我认为她的观点重要，因为她是一名有经验的老师．【解答】答案是D．本题考查动词辨析；number vt．给…标号；把…算作； calculate vt．计算；估计； figure

D．Why【分析】这本书的作者想要表达的不是被困在荒岛上的孤独，而是克服前方任何困难的信念．【解答】答案是C．本题考查名词性从句的引导词；题干中is 前为主语从句，从句中缺少的是express（表达）的宾语；that在名词性从句中不担任成分，故排除A；how和why是副词，不做宾语，排除B和D；what在名词性从句中做主语、宾语、表语或定语，故答案是C．【点评】名词性从句考查的关键是连接词的选用和语序，因此，我们首先要搞清从句的性质，掌握各连接词的用法，在此基础上判断．此外，关注名词性从句用陈述语序．11．（1分）（2017•南开区模拟）He

考查倍数．根据句意：明年要建的新操场将是旧楼的三倍大．倍数+as+形容词或副词的原级+as+其他是英语中倍数的表达句型．所以答案选B．【点评】英语倍数的表达方法主要以下几种1．倍数+as+形容词或副词的原级+as+其他．2．倍数+形容词（或副词）的比较级+than+其他．3．倍数+the size/height/length/width．etc．+of+其他．4．计量名词+of+名词+be+倍数+that+of+其他．要想熟练掌握倍数的表达，必须掌握这几种句型．13．（1分）（2017•南开区模拟）Don't leave the water_____while you brush your teeth．（）A．racing B．rushing C．running D．rolling【分析】刷牙的时候不要让水一直流．【解答】答案：C解析：A：赛跑；B：冲；C：跑；流动；D：滚．根据句意"刷牙的时候不要让水一直流"及横线前面的提示可知，本题考查leave sb doing sth"让某人一直做某事"这一固定短语；其中run表示"水的流动"，另外run还有"褪色"之意（例句：The color has run．颜色褪掉了．）拓展：leave sb to do

wooden cheese in their own laneC．kick or throw their cheeseD．use a real cheese weighing about four kilos37．Where is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival held according to the passage？A．In Australia．B．In the Caribbean．C．In the USAD．In Mexico38．The celebration of La Tomatina lasts ．A．three daysB．seven daysC．less than three daysD．more than seven days39．Which of the following is TRUE according to the

in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival．D．An exciting tomato battle takes place at the beginning of La Tomatina．40．In which food festival you may meet cooks？A．Melbourne Food and Wine FestivalB．La TomatinaC．Stilton Cheese RollingD．Fiery Foods Festival．In business，there's a speed difference：It's the difference between how important a firm's leaders say speed is to their competitive strategy and how fast the company actually moves．The difference is important regardless of industry and company size．Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed．In our study of 343businesses，the companies that chose to go，go，go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track．What's more，the firms that"slowed down to speed up"improved their top and bottom lines，averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three﹣﹣year period．How did they disobey the laws of business physics，taking more time than competitors yet performing better？They thought differently about what"slower"and"faster"mean．Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operational speed （moving quickly） and strategic speed （reducing the time it takes to deliver value）．Simply increasing the speed of production，for example，may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference．But that often leads to reduced value over time，in the form of lower﹣﹣quality products and services．In our study，higher﹣﹣﹣companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary．Theybecame more open to ideas and discussion．They encouraged new ways of thinking．And they allowed time to look back and learn．By contrast，performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time，paid too much attention to improving efficiency，stuck to tested methods，didn't develop team spirit among their employees，and had little time thinking about changes．Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership．Teams that regularly take time to get things right，rather than plough ahead full bore，are more successful in meeting their business goals．That kind of strategy must come from the top．41．What does the underlined part"gain an edge"in Paragraph 2 mean？A．Get an advantageB．Increase the speedC．Reach the limit．D．Set a goal．42．The underlined part"the laws of business physics"in Paragraph 3 means ．A．spending more time and performing worseB．spending more time and performing betterC．spending less time and performing worseD．spending less time and performing better43．What can we learn from the text？A．How fast a firm moves depends on how big it is．B．How competitive a firm is depends on what it produces．C．Firms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes．D．Firms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit．44．According to the author，what is the key to deciding strategic speed？A．Pausing at key momentsB．The size of companyC．The bossD．The quality of the products45．Which could be the best title for the text？A．Improve quality？Serve better．B．Deliver value？Plough ahead．C．Reduce time？Move faster．D．Need speed？Slow down．46．（10分）My grandma whom we all called Nanny was a solid，first﹣generation，Italian immigrant．She came to this country with her family on a tiny ship during World War I when she was only 8years old．During the trip she survived stormy seas，little food，and an attack by a German U﹣boat．After getting here，her large family worked hard to build a new life in America．They never had much money but were rich in love．One day，when I was about 5or 6years old，my parents and brothers went on a trip．It was just me and Nanny in the house for the weekend．Nanny seemed so happy to be taking care of me all by herself．She made me a special breakfast that first morning．However，all I could do was to complain about how the food was not how Mom always made it．Nanny quietly put down the plate and went into the living room．I followed a minute later and saw that she had tears in her eyes．It was the first time I had ever seen my strong and proud grandmother cry and I was the one who had caused it．I walked over to Nanny，climbed on her lap，and for the first time in my short life I did something else too．I apologized without being told to and asked Nanny to forgive me．She smiled，rubbed my head，and told me I was a good boy even though I didn't feel like one then．That memory just like my Nanny's love will stay in my heart forever．It is a sign of both strength and wisdom．Asking for forgiveness helps us to learn，to grow，and to love．46．Nanny's family immigrated to America mainly because ．A．they suffered starvation in their homelandB．they wanted to start a rich life in the new landC．they tried to get away from the terrible climateD．their country was in war and they needed peace47．The boy complained to Nanny that the food ．A．wasn't cooked the way his mom didB．was served a bit later than usualC．was prepared in a special wayD．was just to his parents'taste48．When seeing Nanny crying in the living room，the author felt ．A．surprisedB．ashamedC．shockedD．annoyed49．The author mainly wants to tell us that ．A．forgiveness can be beneficial to people asking for itB．hardships can make children more indifferentC．grandparents are more tolerant than their grandchildrenD．family ties can sometimes be misused50．What kind of person is Nanny in author's eyes？A．Joyous and jealousB．Hardworking and carefulC．Strong﹣willed and wiseD．Kind and sensitive．Wouldn't it be wonderful to travel to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language？In a recent Wall Street Journal article，technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that，within a decade or so，we'll be able to communicate with one another via small earpieces with built ﹣in microphones．That's because technological progress is extremely rapid．It's only a matter of time．Indeed，some parents are so convinced that this technology is imminent that they're wondering if their kids should even learn a second language．It's true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating"No es bueno dormir mucho"as"It's not good to sleep too much．"Replacing a word with its equivalent （同义词）in the target language is actually the"easy part"of a translator's job．But even this seems to be a discouraging task for computers．It's so difficult for computers because translation doesn't﹣or shouldn't﹣involve simply translating words，sentences or paragraphs．Rather，it's about translating meaning．And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression，humans have to interpret a mass of information at the same time．Think about all the related clues that go into understanding an expression：volume，gesture，situation，and even your culture．All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use．Therefore，we should be very skeptical of a machine that is unable to interpret the world around us．If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it，how can we expect a machine to do better？Unless engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer，undoubtedly when it comes to conveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language，a machine will never fully take our place．51．What does the underlined word"imminent"in Paragraph 2probably mean？A．Ready．B．Approaching．C．Helpful．D．Advanced．52．Why is it hard for computers to replace a word with its equivalent？A．Their data is not adequate enough．B．The real meaning of words can vary．C．Their accuracy needs big improvement．D．A soul hasn't been breathed in them．53．What view does the author hold about translation？A．Proper translation can be tough for humans．B．Slight distinctions matter little in translation．C．Some machines will interpret our world properly．D．Cultures deserve more attention than words used．54．What is the best title for the text？A．An Expert's Precise PredictionB．The Complexity of TranslationC．Who Will Be a Better TranslatorD．Will Language Barrier Actually Fall55．What is the author's attitude the modern technology？A．UnclearB．ObjectiveC．OptimisticD．Negative．第三部分：写作第一节：阅读表达阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题．Some years ago industries had more freedom than they now，and they did not need to be as careful as they must today．They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed．They took little notice of the health and safety of the people who worked for them．Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them and conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers．Of course，sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes．Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore．At such times，there were inquiries into the causes of the disasters or the problems．New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries； however，the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill．Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers．In the U．S，for example，there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems．It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow．Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell．A third department looks at the places where people work，and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers．Of course，new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness，but they are having some good results．Our work places are safer and cleaner than before．The planes and cars which we use for travel are better．Producers are thinking more aboutthe safety and health of the people who buy and use their products．56．What had bad effects on the health of the workers？（No more than 6words）57．In what ways do the departments protect customers and workers？（No more than 20words）58．Please explain the underlined phrase"took little notice of"in the first paragraph in English．（No more than 5words）59．What is the passage mainly about？（No

（表达）的宾语；that在名词性从句中不担任成分，故排除A；how和why是副词，不做宾语，排除B和D；what在名词性从句中做主语、宾语、表语或定语，故答案是C．【点评】名词性从句考查的关键是连接词的选用和语序，因此，我们首先要搞清从句的性质，掌握各连接词的用法，在此基础上判断．此外，关注名词性从句用陈述语序．11．（1分）（2017•南开区模拟）He used to study in a

引导定语从句（注意不可以使用that引导）．综上，本题答案为A选项．【点评】本题考查动词短语的辨析，做此类题目时一定要清楚各个选项的含义及用法，再结合句意及其它要求确定最终答案．12．（1分）（2017•南开区模拟）The new playground to be built next year will be_____the old one．（）A．as three times big as

People, including many experts, find it difTicult to slow down （he process. However, leaving coal and major fossil fuels in the ground could help to limit南开区climate change in the future, according to a new study. That is to say, a third of oil reserves on the earth, half of gas reserves and over 80 percent of current coal reserves should not be used before the year 2050. If we arc to prevent global temperatures from rising above 2 degrees Celsius in the near future, we ought to carry some measures to severely control the emissions from factories vehicles and even our daily-lifecooking. However, it is a goal that seems to be impossible in our eyes.“Policy makers in different cou ntries must realize that their attempt to completely use the ibssil fuels within their countries is wholly incompatible （矛盾的）with their hope to reach the 2-degree goal,"Dr. Christophe Me Glade at University College London's Energy Institute said in a statement. u lf they go ahead with developing their own resources,0 he added, l4they must be asked which reserves elsewhere should remain unbumed in order for the carbon budget not to go beyond the limit』Ifs not surprising to see how tapping into these unused reserves would be attractive.Energy-related industry is a big business all over the world. There are many coal reserves in China, Russia and the United States, along with over 260 thousand million barrels of oil reserves in the Middle East. Not to mention that oil is cuncntly being developed in the Arctic. Companies spent over $670 billion last year in the expansion of fossil ftiels, but according to the new model used in this latest study, developers may need to rethink their plans to develop these underground resources so as to make some contributions to control the world temperature from rising high in the future."We've now got practical figures of the quantities and locations of fossil fuels that should remain unused in dying to keep within the 2-degre e temperature limit,” added Me Glade. World leaders and policy makers should take the advice to heart, because a recent IPCC report warned that if immediate and great actions are not taken soon, climate change■will cause irreversible （4s可逆转的）impacts on environments worldwide, leaving the world an unsafe place for us to live in.厲开区2017年髙考英语模拟试卷（二）J3 9页（共16页）46.

The story slowly forms a picture of Carla, trapped in a bad marriage, her unhappiness building into desperation until she decides to flee.

It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs,and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there^s always a temptation（诱感）to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks^ author of The Social Animal:The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement. appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.Brooks gained fame for scveial books. His latest book The Social Animal^ however, is moreambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of wgi 耳hty topi8・ The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren f t?To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines. Consideringthis, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation （背诵）of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox （非常規的）.and perhaps unfortunate way. Instead ofintroducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader's attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.On the whole. Brooks 1 story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect^ his注意事項,writing is mostly clear and. to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal \it elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks' attempt to translate his tale into science・56. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? (No more than 10 words)57. Why docs Brooks use a story to introduce scientific theories? (No more than 15 words)58. According to The Social Animal, how can we learn about the science of child development?

2017年天津市南开区高考英语模拟试卷副标题一、单选题（本大题共15小题，共15.0分）1.Why!I have nothing to explain．______ you want me to say？（）A. What is it thatB. What it is thatC. How is it thatD. How it is that【答案】A【解析】答案A．考查强调句型的用法．分析句子成分可知：动词say后面缺少宾语，所以应该使用代词，可排除C和D；强调句型的基本结构：强调句型"It is/was+被强调的成份+that+其他成份"用来强调主语、宾语和状语等成份．that只起连接作用，不作成份，但不能省略．如果强调的是特殊疑问句中的疑问词，表示"到底"、"究竟"等语气时，就用如下结构："特殊疑问词+is/was+it+that+该句的其余部分"，因此可排除B；故答案选A．为什么!我没什么好解释的，你到底想让我说什么？判断是否是强调句，可采用"还原法"．如果还原为一般句式后，句子各种成份完整，则是强调句；否则不是．2.Experts warn that medical waste from hospitals，if___ properly，may lead to spreadingdiseases．（）A. not handledB. not being handledC. not to be handledD. not having handled【答案】A【解析】答案：A解析：if引导的条件状语补充完整则是：if they are not handled properly．因为从句的主语与主句的主语一致且含有be动词，故可以将从句的主语与be动词一起省略，只保留其它部分．综上，本题答案为A选项．专家警告医院的医疗垃圾如果处理不当，有可能导致传播疾病．本题考查省略句，做此类题目时一定要仔细分析句子结构，根据句意及语法等将句子还原为完整句子，再进行省略．3.-There won't be anywhere to park．-Oh，________．Let's try the subway．（）A. that's a real bargainB. that's a good pointC. that's really somethingD. that's all settled【答案】B【解析】答案：B考查情景交际．that's a real bargain那可真划算；that's really something 真了不起；that's all settled 就这么决定了，that's a good point 有道理．根据题意B符合．---这里没有地方停车．---嗯，说的有道理．让我们试试地铁．考生需根据语境选择合适的交际语言．4.--What's that noise？一Oh，I forget to tell you．The new machine_________．（）A. is testingB. was being testedC. is being testedD. has been tested【答案】C【解析】答案是C．考查被动语态的现在进行时．主语the new machine和动词test之间是被动关系，所以用被动语态be+过去分词tested．根据文中的noise可知"机器正在被测试"，所以用现在进行时的被动语态即be+being+过去分词．句意是：--那个噪音是什么？---哦，我忘记告诉你了．新机器正在被检测．故答案是C．--那个噪音是什么？---哦，我忘记告诉你了．新机器正在被检测．解答此类题目，首先要掌握好时态的相关语法和固定句型，然后根据语境选择正确的答案．5.Varieties of solutions have been provided for us to solve the problem．We can choose____to start with．（）A. itB. thatC. eachD. one【答案】D【解析】答案是D．本题考查代词；it指代上文是提到的单数概念或不可数名词本身；that表示与上文指代的同类，特指单数名词或不可数名词；each每一个，指代单数可数概念；one泛指上文所提到的一类中的一个，即其中之一；题干中需要代词代替上文的各种解决方法中的一个，故选D．我们已经被提供了各种解决这个问题的方法．我们可以从中选择一个开始．本题考查代词词义辨析，要在熟悉各代词词义和用法的基础上结合语境做出合理的推断．6.Visit the old man this afternoon？If you______，make sure you wear sunscreens to protectyour skin．（）A. canB. mustC. mayD. shall【答案】B【解析】答案是B．考查情态动词．can 能，会；must 必须；may 也许；shall 将要．句意是：今天下午去拜访那位老人吗？如果你必须去的话，请确保涂防晒霜来保护你的皮肤．故选B．今天下午去拜访那位老人吗？如果你必须去的话，请确保涂防晒霜来保护你的皮肤．解答此类题目，首先要掌握情态动词的用法，然后根据语境选择正确的答案．7.The worse working conditions we are looking forward to___ must have attracted the localgovernment's attention．（）A. see improvedB. seeing to improveC. see improvingD. seeing improved【答案】D【解析】D 考查固定搭配和定语从句．we are looking forward to ______是定语从句，先行词是The worse working conditions，把先行词代入定语从句是we are looking forwardto____the worse working conditions_____．looking forward to中，to是介词其后应用动词的ing形式，所以用seeing，排除选项A、C．而see+宾语+宾补结构中，宾语the worse working conditions和宾补improve之间是动宾关系，所以用improved，排除选项B．故选D．我们一直期待着看到改善的更糟糕的工作条件一定引起了当地政府的关注．本题考查固定搭配和定语从句．首先根据look forward to doing排除两个选项，然后要正确分析定语从句的结构以及宾语与宾补之间的关系．8.-How did you find your trip to Water Park in the summer of 2016？-I thoroughly enjoyed it．It was______ than I expected．（）A. even much interestingB. far more interestingC. so far interestingD. far from interesting【答案】B【解析】答案：B 考查形容词比较级．根据句中than，要用比较级，因interesting是多音节形容词，其比较级在其加more，排除A、C、D项，只有B项正确．--2016年夏天你觉得你的水上公园之旅怎么样？--我非常喜欢它．它比我预料的有趣得多．多音节形容词interesting的比较级形式是在其前面加more，程度副词far应在more前面．9.This is a very interesting book．I'll buy it，____．（）A. how much may it costB. no matter how it may costC. however much it may costD. whatever may it cost【答案】C【解析】答案：C解析：A选项将情态动词may提到了主语的前面，构成了特殊疑问词，故排除；B选项谓语动词cost"花费"后面缺少宾语（how"如何"是副词，无法充当宾语），故排除；D选项情态动词may提到了主语前面，构成了特殊疑问词，排除．C选项是由however引导的让步状语从句，等同于：no matter how much it may cost．意为"无论它要花多少钱"（注意引导词however与much，即no matter how much是一个整体，不可分拆），符合句意及用法．这是一本很有趣的书，我会买它，无论它要花多少钱．本题考查让步状语从句，首先要明确从句的语序为陈述句语序；另外还要分析从句的结构，以判断缺什么、所缺成分该由什么来充当．10.I called her nearly ten minutes this morning，but I couldn't______．（）A. get throughB. go throughC. live throughD. look through【答案】A【解析】get through意为"接通"；go through意为"穿过"；live through意为"度过"；look through意为"浏览"，根据句意"今天早上我打电话给她近十分钟，但是不能接通．"故此处应选get through．故选A．今天早上我打电话给她近十分钟，但是不能接通．考点：考查动词短语以及句意理解．11.It was a difficult job for him．He had tried everything but it made little_____．（）A. useB. goodC. differenceD. result【答案】C【解析】答案：C解析：A：使用；B：好处；C：不同；D：结果．根据句意"对他而言这是份困难的工作，他尝试了一切但是没什么改变"及所给选项、题干提示可知，本题考查make （little/no）a difference"（无）有影响/作用"这一固定短语．综上，本题答案为C选项．对他而言这是份困难的工作，他尝试了一切但是没什么改变．本题考查名词的辨析，做此类题目时一定要清楚各个选项的含义及用法，再结合句意及题干确定最终答案．12.-Ann，our department may be named the Department of the Year because ofthe outstanding performance．--_________．（）A.

If I devotedB. Had I devotedC. Would I be devotedD. Should I be devoted【答案】B【解析】答案：B本题考查了if引导的虚拟语气的倒装用法．根据前后句判断，以前并没有努力学习，由此可知，努力学习是对过去的一种推测．则if的从句要使用虚拟语气．而当从句的谓语部分有had\should\were时，则可以使用倒装句，即将这三个助动词与主语进行位置的交换，再省略引导词if，由此得到B选项．如果我把更多的精力都用来学习而不是沉迷于网络游戏，那么现在我就坐在一个舒服的办公室上班了．仔细分析题干部分的考点，在结合句子的实际情况进行解答．二、阅读理解（本大题共18小题，共50.0分）APlan on traveling around the USA this summer？If you need help in arranging the trip，or want ideas about where to go and what to do，there are a number of outstanding websites that can make your American dream come true．http://byways．orgThe National Scenic Byways Program covers 150 memorable roads．Some are natural routes，such as Route 1 along the California coast．Others focus on history （such as Route 6）or man-made attractions （the Las Vegas Strip）．For each，you are provided with a map，told the route′s length and how long is allowed，and given detailed suggestions on sights and stop-offs．www．oyster．comThis is the best website for reviews of hotels in US cities and resorts．The reviews are impressively thorough，covering locations，rooms，cleanliness，food and so on．Importantly，these are not promotional photos by the hotels，but more honest and real ones taken by inspectors．Search facilities are excellent．From the 243 hotels reviewed in the New York，you can narrow down what you are looking for by locations，facilities and styles，or just pick out a selection of the best．www.101usaholidays．co．ukThis is the latest offering that features 101 holiday ideas to the USA．Ifs an impressively diverse selection，ranging from touring in the footsteps of Martin Luther King to a golfing break in Arizona and a cycling and wine-tasting trip in California's Napa Valley．Narrow down what you are looking for 一whether by price，region，theme and who will be traveling 一and then just the photos of the relevant holidays remain on view．It′s a really clever design．www．mousesavers．comWalt Disney World in California can make dreams come true，but the price is not affordable for the majority of people．，So turn to long established Mousesavers．com，dedicated to giving big discounts on tickets，hotels and dining at Walt Disney World．The website also offers general money-saving tips，suggestions for cheap and free stuff and brief coverage of other Florida and California theme parks．16.If you are going to the USA for the man-made attractions，you can drive along ______ ．A.

Blood pressure is highly related to hairdos．B. Getting cancer or heart disease is the cause of hair losing．C. Feeling older than real age may be tied to health problems．D.

Rocket scientists can ensure the CNN works properly．B. Most of the viewers don't like to watch the news at work．C. Ifs necessary to understand when people watch the news．D. It's easy to know people needn't watch the news all the time．33.The passage is mainly written to tell us that ______ ．A. old methods are changing with timeB. opportunities lead to business successC. conventional wisdom limits innovationD. successful companies need wise leaders．【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】B 【小题3】B 【小题4】D 【小题5】C【解析】ABBDC51．A 情感态度题．根据第一句话Conventional wisdom is a major barrier to innovation （创新）that threatens the survival of companies everywhere可知，作者认为传统的思维是创新的主要障碍，所以作者认为conventional wisdom 是持否定态度，即disapproving意思是不赞同，故选A．52．B 细节理解题．根据文意In 1977，Ken Olsen，co-founder and CEO of Digital Equipment Corporation （DEC），stated'There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home．"Despite being a dominant leader in the computer industry，DEC no longer exists可知DES的出现其实是CEO打破了常规，勇于创新的结果，故选B．53．B 细节理解题．根据文章Breaking from conventional wisdom has led to many of the most innovative companies and products in history across many industries，so it has a powerful effect on business success．可知CNN的创立为例子是为了支持论点，勇于创新才是成功之道，故选B．54．D 句意猜测题．根据Viewers just have to watch when they want to get information．可知听众并不是一直在关注新闻，故推出答案为D．55．C 主旨大意题．通过第一段以及整个文章来看，主要讲述了传统的思维方式阻碍了创新，勇于创新才是生存之道．故选C．文章讲述了传统的思维方式会阻碍创新，威胁公司的长期发展，勇于创新才是生存之道．本文属于观点类新闻题材，考生在答题时要从整体上把握全文，并注意从细节中推测作者的态度．三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共30.0分）Like any good mother，when Karen found out that another baby was on the way，she did what she could to help her three-year-old son，Michael，prepare for a new baby．They found out that it was going to be a girl，and day after day，night after night，Michael (34)to his sister in Mommy's tummy．He was building a bond of love with his little sister before he even met her．The pregnancy progressed(35)for Karen．In time，the labor pains came．Soon it was every five minutes…every minute．But something serious (36)during delivery．Finally，Michael's little sister was bom．But she was in serious(37)．With siren （警报）howling in the night，the ambulance(38)the infant （婴儿）to the Intensive Care Unit at St．Mary's Hospital in Knoxville，Tennessee．(39)inched by．The little girl got worse．The doctors told theparents，"There is very little hope．"Karen and her husband contacted a local cemetery （墓地）about a burial plot．They had(40)a special room in their home for the new baby-now they planned a funeral．After two weeks in ICU，it looked as if a funeral would come(41)the week was over．Michael，however，kept begging his parents to let him see hissister．"I want to sing to her，"he said．Kids were never (42)in ICU．But Karen made up her mind to take Michael (43)they liked it or not．If he didn't see his sister now，he may never see her alive．She(44)him in an oversized suit and (45)him into ICU．He looked like a walking laundry basket，but the head nurse (46)him as a child，"Get that kid out of here now!"The mother rose up strong in Karen，and the usually (47)lady glared steel-eyed right into the head nurse's face，saying in a (48)tone of voice，"He is not leaving until he sings to his sister!"Karen towed Michael to his sister's bedside．He gazed at the tiny baby．(49)the battle to live．And he began to sing．(50)the pure hearted voice of a 3-year-old，Michael sang："You are my sunshine，my only sunshine，you make me happy when pkies are gray…" (51)the baby girl responded．The pulse rate began to(52)down and became steady．"Keep on singing，Michael，"encouraged Karen．"You never know，dear，how much I love you．Please don't take my sunshine away…''As Michael sang to his sister，the baby's breath became as smooth as a kitten's purr．"Keep onsinging，Michael．""The other night，dear，as I lay sleeping…"Michael's little sister relaxed as rest，healing rest，seemed to sweep over her．Funeral plans were(53)．The next day-the very next day-the little girl was well enough to go。

electrical accident，which caused him to become both blind and deaf，the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years．The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life．His family，especially hiswife，did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live．One hot summer afternoon，he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once．He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet，but he was struck by the lightning．Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree．He was trembling badly，but when he opened his eyes，he could hardly believe what he saw：a plough and a wall．When Mrs Edwards came running up to him，shouting to their neighbors to call for help，he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years．The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread，and many doctors came to examine him．Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning．However，none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened．The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that，since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock，perhaps，the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock．41．The reason for Robert's attempts to kill himself was that．A．he had to live in a dark and silent worldB．a terrible traffic accident happened to himC．he was struck by the lightning once moreD．nobody in the world cared about him42．What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning？A．Taking a walk with a stick．B．Driving a car．C．Sheltering from the rain under a tree．D．Lying on the ground．43．What did Robert see first when he regained his sight after the shock？A．A plough and a wall．B．His neighbors．C．His wife who called for help to save him．D．Many doctors surrounding him．44．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage？A．Robert had been deaf and blind for nearly ten years．B．Robert hid himself under the tree for 20 minutes．C．Robert could hear his wife's shouting for help when he woke up．D．The family's love helped Robert regain confidence to live．45．We can infer from the text that．A．many doctors came because Robert was badly injuredB．a sudden injury in the head led to Robert's recoveryC．Robert's wife sent for doctors immediately after the shockD．there was no accurate explanation for Robert's recovery．46．（10分）The temperature is sharply rising with each passing day．People，including many experts，find it difficult to slow down the process．However，leaving coal and major fossil fuels in the ground could help to limit climate change in the future，according to a new study．That is to say，a third of oil reserves on the earth，half of gas reserves and over 80 percent of current coal reserves should not be used before the year 2050．If we are to prevent global temperatures from rising above 2 degrees Celsius in the near future，we ought to carry some measures to severely control the emissions from factories vehicles and even our daily﹣life cooking．However，it is a goal that seems to be impossible in our eyes．"Policy makers in different countries must realize that their attempt to completely use the fossil fuels within their countries is wholly incompatible（矛盾的）with their hope to reach the 2﹣degree goal，"Dr．Christophe Mc Glade at University College London's Energy Institute said in a statement．"If they go ahead with developing their own resources，"he added，"they must be asked which reserves elsewhere should remain unburned in order for the carbon budget not to go beyond the limit．"It's not surprising to see how tapping into these unused reserves would be attractive．Energy﹣related industry is a big business all over the world．There aremany coal reserves in China，Russia and the United States，along with over 260 thousand million barrels of oil reserves in the Middle East．Not to mention that oil is currently being developed in the Arctic．Companies spent over $670 billion last year in the expansion of fossil fuels，but according to the new model used in this latest study，developers may need to rethink their plans to develop these underground resources so as to make some contributions to control the world temperature from rising high in the future．"We've now got practical figures of the quantities and locations of fossil fuels that should remain unused in trying to keep within the 2﹣degree temperature limit，"added Mc Glade．World leaders and policy makers should take the advice to heart，because a recent IPCC report warned that if immediate and great actions are not taken soon，climate change will cause irreversible（不可逆转的）impacts on environments worldwide，leaving the world an unsafe place for us to live in．46．According to Paragraph 1，our goal is to．A．discover more fossil fuels for the future generationB．slow down the climate changeC．refuse to use reserves on the earthD．keep the temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius47．The underlined word"emissions"in Paragraph 1refers to．A．things that are sent out into the airB．products that are made from fossil fuelsC．factors that cause the climate changeD．changes that happen after temperature rise48．According to what Mc Glade said in Paragraph 2，all countries should．A．make full use of their fossil fuelsB．work together towards the 2﹣degree goalC．find better ways to dig out the coalD．increase the global carbon budget49．We can infer from Paragraph 3 that great efforts have been made in．A．digging out the oil in the Middle EastB．getting people to rethink their fuel plansC．developing fossil fuels around the worldD．developing energy﹣related industry worldwide50．What is the author's attitude towards the future of temperature control？A．Confident．B．Negative．C．Satisfied．D．Unclear．51．（10分）It's hard to find Alice Munro in the media．Even after she won the 2013Nobel Prize in Literature，the Canadian writer just appeared for a quick interview and then dropped out of sight．On Dec 29th，she still didn't seek the spotlight when she was named one of the five Women of the Year by the Financial Times．In Munro's eyes，ordinary lives always hide larger dramas．So she records what we casually think of as the everyday actions of normal people．She often focuses on life in her hometown，a small village in Ontario which she is most familiar with．She writes about the ordinary things in the village﹣trees in the Ontario wilderness，poor country schools and long last illnesses．Above all，she talks about girls and women who have seemingly ordinary lives but struggle against daily misfortune．She has a special talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the ordinary．These are ordinary people，ordinary stories，but she has the magic．Her precise language，depth of detail and the logic of her storytelling have made her stories inviting．Runaway，one of Munro's representative works，is a good example of her writing style．One of the stories centers on the life of an ordinary woman Carla，who lives in a small Canadian town with her husband Clark．The story slowly forms a picture of Carla，trapped in a bad marriage，her unhappiness building into desperation until she decides to flee．The story of Carla is a story of the power and betrayals of love．It isabout lost children and lost chances that we can all find in life．There is pain beneath the surface，like a needle in the heart．Since she published her first collection of short stories in 1968，Munro has won many awards，with the Nobel Prize being her biggest honor．On Oct 10th，2013，the Nobel Prize committee named Munro the"master of the contemporary short story"．51．We learn from Paragraph 1that Alice Munro．A．didn't get on well with the mediaB．was surprised at winning the Nobel PrizeC．didn't value the title of Women of the YearD．remained modest though very successful52．Many of Alice Munro's works．A．center on the happy life of country womenB．are about betrayals of love and violenceC．focus on everyday life of ordinary peopleD．are romantic stories setting in her hometown53．What makes Alice Munro's stories fascinating according to the text？A．The complicated plots．B．Her rich imagination．C．The humorous language．D．Her writing techniques．54．In her representative work Runaway，Carla．A．tries to run away from her husbandB．is a faithful wife to her husbandC．leads a happy life with ClarkD．loses all hopes for a better life55．What is the text mainly about？A．Alice Munro and her hometown．B．Alice Munro and her writing style．C．Alice Munro's representative works．D．The awards Alice Munro won．第三部分：写作第一节：阅读表达阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题．56．（10分）Science has a lot of uses．It can uncover laws of nature，cure diseases，make bombs，and help bridges to stand up．Indeed science is so good at what it does that there's always a temptation （诱惑）to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful．David Brooks，author of The Social Animal：The Hidden Sources of Love，Character，and Achievement，appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation．Brooks gained fame for several books．His latest book The Social Animal，however，is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books．It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics．The book focuses on big questions：What has science revealed about human nature？What are the sources of character？And why are some people happy and successful while others aren't？To answer these questions，Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines．Considering this，you might expect the book to be a dry recitation （背诵）of facts．But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox （非常规的），and perhaps unfortunate way．Instead of introducing scientific theories，he tells a story，within which he tries to make his points，perhaps in order to keep the reader's attention．So as Harold and Erica，the hero and heroine in his story，live through childhood，we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction．Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters．On the whole，Brooks'story is acceptable if uninspired．As one would expect，his writing is mostly clear and，to be fair，some chapters stand out above the rest．I enjoyed，for instance，the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own．While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters，the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere．These problems partly involve Brooks'attempt to translate his tale into science．56．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2？（No more than 10 words）57．Why does Brooks use a story to introduce scientific theories？（No more than 15 words）58．According to The Social Animal，how can we learn about the science of child development？（No more than 10 words）59．Please explain the underlined word"weighty"in English．（No more than 1 word）60．Do you like Brooks'way of dealing with science in The Social Animal？Why？（No more than 20 words）．书面表达61．（25分）目前，中国已经进入汽车社会，越来越多的汽车正走进寻常百姓家．但是有些驾驶员的素质令人担忧，他们的所作所为严重危害了自己和他人的安全．这种现象与社会的发展极不协调．请你以李华的身份，结合下列几点写一封倡议书，倡议所有驾驶员做"中国好司机"．主要内容包括：1．简单描述以上现象；2．你的建议：1）严格遵守交通规则；2）不隔窗抛物；3）礼让他人，不闯红灯．注意：1．词数100左右2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；3．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数．参考词汇：规则regulations

material，________ proved to be reliable．（）A．most of them B．most of whichC．most of whom D．most of those【解答】答案：B解析：分析句子结构及句意可知，后面的分句为定语从句．定语从句的先行词是指物的物the material，故应该用which做介词宾语，引导非限制性定语从句；X 选项whom代人，A选项them无法用来引导定语从句，D选项those也无法引导定语从句．综上，本题答案为B选项．6．（1分）（2017•南开区模拟）The old woman who ____ in the deserted house alone for ten years have been settled in a nursing home now．（）A．lived B．have livedC．had lived D．has been living【解答】答案：A根据句意可知，由于那对老夫妻现在已经被安顿在养老院了，不在那所废弃的房子里住了，因此"住在废弃的房子里"是发生在过去的动作，句中的时间状语now 对应的是过去；故应使用一般过去时；B．现在完成时，表示发生在过去并持续到了现在的动作；C．过去完成时，表示发生在过去某时间之前的动作；D．现在完成进行时，表示从过去某时开始一直持续到现在的动作，并且还将持续下去；B．C．D都不符合句意；故选A7．（1分）（2017•南开区模拟）﹣I phoned you yesterday morning．A girl answered，but I didn't recognize the voice．﹣Oh，it ________ my younger sister．She was in my room at that moment．（）A．must have been B．should have beenC．could have been D．may have been【解答】答案：A句意表达的是肯定的推测；对过去的推测要用情态动词加完成时态来构成；must 一定，should应该，could可能，may也许；根据句意表达的是肯定推测，故选A．8．（1分）（2017•南开区模拟）﹣Do you mind if I look at your new mobile phone？﹣Of course not．．（）A．Please don't B．It depends C．Be my guest D．No way【解答】答案：CA．Please don't请不要，请勿；B．It depends看情况而定；C．Be my guest 别客气，请便；D．No way 没门；根据答语"当然不介意"，可知此处表达的应是"我"同意你看"我"的新手机；故选C．9．（1分）（2017•南开区模拟）In the reading room，we found her ________ at a desk，with her attention ________ on a book．（）A．sitting；fixing B．to sit；fixedC．seating；fixing D．seated；fixed【解答】答案：D句中sit或seat作her的宾语补足语，即find sb doing sth发现某人正在做某事；seat是及物动词，作宾补时，与her构成动宾关系，要用过去分词；fix作attention的宾语补足语，即with+名词+非谓语动词；fix与attention构成动宾关系，要用过去分词．故选D．10．（1分）（2017•南开区模拟）How long do you think ________ the computer company brings out a new product？（）A．will it be when B．will it be untilC．it will be before D．it will be that【解答】答案：C．分析句子的结构可知，这里do you think是插入语，这是固定句式it willbe+some time+before+句子．意为：还要过多久才能…，这里是对时间段进行提问，所以用疑问词how long，因为疑问词后有插入语，当插入语用了疑问语序，它后面的成分就用陈述语序，故选C．11．（1分）（2017•南开区模拟）﹣Monitor？﹣I'm not monitor of our class．I ________with the teacher until the monitor is elected．（）A．will just help B．am just to helpC．am just helping D．have just helped【解答】答案：C根据题意可知，我现在只是帮助老师做一些事情，暗示目前我正从事的事情，所以需用现在进行时表示目前正进行的动作．12．（1分）（2017•南开区模拟）How could they reach an agreement？Some said one thing，but others ________．（）A．other B．another C．the other D．others【解答】答案：B解析：A：其他的（后接可数名词复数）；B：另一个（表示泛指）；C：另一个（表示特指）；D：其他的．根据前面的one thing"一样（东西）"可知后面与会对应的是"另一样（东西）"，又因为此处没有特指，故使用another一词来表达"另一样（东西）"之意．综上，本题答案为B选项；其余选项均不符合题意．13．（1分）（2016•浙江）It is important to pay your electricity bill on time，as late payments may affect your

fallen【解答】答案：D根据题干从句中had置于句首可知，此处为虚拟语气中连词if省略情况．由从句中谓语动词had not worked（had done）可知，是对过去情况的假设，所以主句中的谓语动词应用would/could/might/should have done来表示对过去情况的假设．故选D．第二节完形填空（满分30分）16．（30分）（2017•南开区模拟）My heart

Edwards for almost ten years．The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life．His family，especially his37/ 62017年天津南开区高考英语模拟试卷wife，did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live．One hot summer afternoon，he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once．He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet，but he was struck by the lightning．Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree．He was trembling badly，but when he opened his eyes，he could hardly believe what he saw：a plough and a wall．When Mrs Edwards came running up to him，shouting to their neighbors to call for help，he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years．The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread，and many doctors came to examine him．Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning．However，none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened．The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that，since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock，perhaps，the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock．41．The reason for Robert's attempts to kill himself was that．A．he had to live in a dark and silent worldB．a terrible traffic accident happened to himC．he was struck by the lightning once moreD．nobody in the world cared about him42．What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning？A．Taking a walk with a stick．B．Driving a car．C．Sheltering from the rain under a tree．D．Lying on the ground．43．What did Robert see first when he regained his sight after the shock？A．A plough and a wall．B．His neighbors．37/ 72017年天津南开区高考英语模拟试卷C．His wife who called for help to save him．D．Many doctors surrounding him．44．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage？A．Robert had been deaf and blind for nearly ten years．B．Robert hid himself under the tree for 20 minutes．C．Robert could hear his wife's shouting for help when he woke up．D．The family's love helped Robert regain confidence to live．45．We can infer from the text that．A．many doctors came because Robert was badly injuredB．a sudden injury in the head led to Robert's recoveryC．Robert's wife sent for doctors immediately after the shockD．there was no accurate explanation for Robert's recovery．46．（10分）The temperature is sharply rising with each passing day．People，including many experts，find it difficult to slow down the process．However，leaving coal andmajor fossil fuels in the ground could help to limit climate change in the future，according to a new study．That is to say，a third of oil reserves on the earth，half of gas reserves and over 80 percent of current coal reserves should not be used before the year 2050．If we are to prevent global temperatures from rising above 2 degrees Celsius in the near future，we ought to carry some measures to severely control the emissions from factories vehicles and even our daily﹣life cooking．However，it is a goal that seems to be impossible in our eyes．Policy makers in different countries must realize that their attempt to completelyuse the fossil fuels within their countries is wholly incompatible（矛盾的）with their hope to reach the 2﹣degree goal，Dr．Christophe Mc Glade at University College London's Energy Institute said in a statement．If they go ahead with developing their own resources，he added，hey must be asked which reserves elsewhere should remain unburned in order for the carbon budget not to go beyond the limit．It's not surprising to see how tapping into these unused reserves would be attractive．Energy﹣related industry is a big business all over the world．There are 37/ 82017年天津南开区高考英语模拟试卷many coal reserves in China，Russia and the United States，along with over 260 thousand million barrels of oil reserves in the Middle East．Not to mention that oil is currently being developed in the Arctic．Companies spent over $670 billion last year in the expansion of fossil fuels，but according to the new model used in this latest study，developers may need to rethink their plans to develop these underground resources so as to make some contributions to control the world temperature from rising high in the future．We've now got practical figures of the quantities and locations of fossil fuels that should remain unused in trying to keep within the 2﹣degree temperature limit，added Mc Glade．World leaders and policy makers should take the advice to heart，because a recent IPCC report warned that if immediate and great actions are not taken soon，climate change will cause irreversible（不可逆转的）impacts on environments worldwide，leaving the world an unsafe place for us to live in．46．According to Paragraph 1，our goal is to．A．discover more fossil fuels for the future generationB．slow down the climate changeC．refuse to use reserves on the earthD．keep the temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius47．The underlined wordemissionsin Paragraph 1refers to．A．things that are sent out into the airB．products that are made from fossil fuelsC．factors that cause the climate changeD．changes that happen after temperature rise48．According to what Mc Glade said in Paragraph 2，all countriesshould．A．make full use of their fossil fuelsB．work together towards the 2﹣degree goalC．find better ways to dig out the coalD．increase the global carbon budget37/ 92017年天津南开区高考英语模拟试卷49．We can infer from Paragraph 3 that great efforts have been madein．A．digging out the oil in the Middle EastB．getting people to rethink their fuel plansC．developing fossil fuels around the worldD．developing energy﹣related industry worldwide50．What is the author's attitude towards the future of temperature control？A．Confident．B．Negative．C．Satisfied．D．Unclear．51．（10分）It's hard to find Alice Munro in the media．Even after she won the 2013Nobel Prize in Literature，the Canadian writer just appeared for a quickth，she still didn't seek sight．On Dec 29the interview and then dropped out of spotlight when she was named one of the five Women of the Year by the Financial Times．In Munro's eyes，ordinary lives always hide larger dramas．So she records what we casually think of as the everyday actions of normal people．She often focuses on life in her hometown，a small village in Ontario which she is most familiar with．She writes about the ordinary things in the village﹣trees in the Ontario wilderness，poor country schools and long last illnesses．Above all，she talks about girls and women who have seemingly ordinary lives but struggle against daily misfortune．She has a special talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the ordinary．These are ordinary people，ordinary stories，but she has the magic．Her precise language，depth of detail and the logic of her storytelling have made her stories inviting．Runaway，one of Munro's representative works，is a good example of her writing style．One of the stories centers on the life of an ordinary woman Carla，who lives in a small Canadian town with her husband Clark．The story slowly forms a picture of Carla，trapped in a bad marriage，her unhappiness building into desperation until she decides to flee．The story of Carla is a story of the power and betrayals of love．It is 37/ 102017年天津南开区高考英语模拟试卷about lost children and lost chances that we can all find in life．There is pain beneath the surface，like a needle in the heart．Since she published her first collection of short stories in 1968，Munro has won many th，2013，the Nobel awards，with the Nobel Prize being her biggest honor．On Oct 10牐穩?潣浭瑩整?慮敭?畍牮?桴履慭瑳牥漠?桴?潣瑮浥潰慲祲猠潨瑲猠潴祲．51．We learn from

has a lot of uses．It can uncover laws of nature，cure diseases，make bombs，and help bridges to stand up．Indeed science is so good at what it does that there's always a temptation （诱惑）to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful．David Brooks，author of The Social Animal：The Hidden Sources of Love，Character，and Achievement，appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation．Brooks gained fame for several books．His latest book The Social Animal，however，is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books．It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics．The book focuses on big questions：What has science revealedabout human nature？What are the sources of character？And why are some people happy and successful while others aren't？To answer these questions，Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines．Considering this，you might expect the book to be a dry recitation （背诵）of facts．But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox （非常规的），and perhaps unfortunate way．Instead of introducing scientific theories，he tells a story，within which he tries to make his points，perhaps in order to keep the reader's attention．So as Harold and Erica，the hero and heroine in his story，live through childhood，we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction．Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters．On the whole，Brooks'story is acceptable if uninspired．As one would expect，his writing is mostly clear and，to be fair，some chapters stand out above the rest．I enjoyed，for instance，the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own．While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters，the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere．These problems partly involve Brooks'attempt to translate his tale into science．37/ 122017年天津南开区高考英语模拟试卷56．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2？（No more than 10 words）57．Why does Brooks use a story to introduce scientific theories？（No more than 15 words）58．According to The Social Animal，how can we learn about the science of child development？（No more than 10 words）59．Please

Wine FestivalB．La TomatinaC．Stilton Cheese RollingD．Fiery Foods Festival．In business，there's a speed difference：It's the difference between how important a firm's leaders say speed is to their competitive strategy and how fast the company actually moves．The difference is important regardless of industry and company size．Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed．In our study of 343businesses，the companies that chose to go，go，go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track．What's more，the firms that"slowed down to speed up"improved their top and bottom lines，averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three﹣﹣year period．How did they disobey the laws of business physics，taking more time than competitors yet performing better？They thought differently aboutwhat"slower"and"faster"mean．Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operational speed （moving quickly） and strategic speed （reducing the time it takes to deliver value）．Simply increasing the speed of production，for example，may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference．But that often leads to reduced value over time，in the form of lower﹣﹣quality products and services．In our study，higher﹣﹣﹣companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary．They became more open to ideas and discussion．They encouraged new ways of thinking．And they allowed time to look back and learn．By contrast，performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time，paid too much attention to improving efficiency，stuck to tested methods，didn't develop team spirit among their employees，and had little time thinking about changes．Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership．Teams that regularly take time to get things right，rather than plough ahead full bore，are more successful in meeting their business goals．That kind of strategy must come from the top．41．What does the underlined part"gain an edge"in Paragraph 2 mean？A．Get an advantageB．Increase the speedC．Reach the limit．D．Set a goal．42．The underlined part"the laws of business physics"in Paragraph 3 means ．A．spending more time and performing worseB．spending more time and performing betterC．spending less time and performing worseD．spending less time and performing better43．What can we learn from the text？A．How fast a firm moves depends on how big it is．B．How competitive a firm is depends on what it produces．C．Firms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes．D．Firms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit．44．According to the author，what is the key to deciding strategic speed？A．Pausing at key momentsB．The size of companyC．The bossD．The quality of the products45．Which could be the best title for the text？A．Improve quality？Serve better．B．Deliver value？Plough ahead．C．Reduce time？Move faster．D．Need speed？Slow down．46．（10分）My grandma whom we all called Nanny was a solid，first﹣generation，Italian immigrant．She came to this country with her family on a tiny ship during World War I when she was only 8years old．During the trip she survived stormy seas，little food，and an attack by a German U﹣boat．After getting here，her large family worked hard to build a new life in America．They never had much money but were rich in love．One day，when I was about 5or 6years old，my parents and brothers went on a trip．It was just me and Nanny in the house for the weekend．Nanny seemed so happy to be taking care of me all by herself．She made me a special breakfast that first morning．However，all I could do was to complain about how the food was not how Mom always made it．Nanny quietly put down the plate and went into the living room．I followed a minute later and saw that she had tears in her eyes．It was the first time I had ever seen my strong and proud grandmother cry and I was the one who had caused it．I walked over to Nanny，climbed on her lap，and for the first time in my short life I did something else too．I apologized without being told to and asked Nanny to forgive me．She smiled，rubbed my head，and told me I was a good boy even though I didn't feel like one then．That memory just like my Nanny's love will stay in my heart forever．It is a sign of both strength and wisdom．Asking for forgiveness helps us to learn，to grow，and to love．46．Nanny's family immigrated to America mainly because ．A．they suffered starvation in their homelandB．they wanted to start a rich life in the new landC．they tried to get away from the terrible climateD．their country was in war and they needed peace47．The boy complained to Nanny that the food ．A．wasn't cooked the way his mom didB．was served a bit later than usualC．was prepared in a special wayD．was just to his parents'taste48．When seeing Nanny crying in the living room，the author felt ．A．surprisedB．ashamedC．shockedD．annoyed49．The author mainly wants to tell us that ．A．forgiveness can be beneficial to people asking for itB．hardships can make children more indifferentC．grandparents are more tolerant than their grandchildrenD．family ties can sometimes be misused50．What kind of person is Nanny in author's eyes？A．Joyous and jealousB．Hardworking and carefulC．Strong﹣willed and wiseD．Kind and sensitive．Wouldn't it be wonderful to travel to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language？In a recent Wall Street Journal article，technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that，within a decade or so，we'll be able to communicate with one another via smallearpieces with built﹣in microphones．That's because technological progress is extremely rapid．It's only a matter of time．Indeed，some parents are so convinced that this technology is imminent that they're wondering if their kids should even learn a second language．It's true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating"No es bueno dormir mucho"as"It's not good to sleep too much．"Replacing a word with its equivalent （同义词）in the target language is actually the"easy part"of a translator's job．But even this seems to be a discouraging task for computers．It's so difficult for computers because translation doesn't﹣or shouldn't﹣involve simply translating words，sentences or paragraphs．Rather，it's about translating meaning．And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression，humans have to interpret a mass of information at the same time．Think about all the related clues that go into understanding an expression：volume，gesture，situation，and even your culture．All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use．Therefore，we should be very skeptical of a machine that is unable to interpret

today．They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed．They took little notice of the health and safety of the people who worked for them．Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them and conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers．Of course，sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes．Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore．At such times，there were inquiries into the causes of the disastersor the problems．New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries； however，the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill．Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers．In the U．S，for example，there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems．It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow．Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell．A third department looks at the places where people work，and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers．Of course，new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness，but they are having some good results．Our work places are safer and cleaner than before．The planes and cars which we use for travel are better．Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products．56．What had bad effects on the health of the workers？（No more than 6words）57．In what ways do the departments protect customers and workers？（No more than 20words）58．Please explain the underlined phrase"took little notice of"in the first paragraph in English．（No more than 5words）59．What is the passage mainly about？（No more than 15words）60．Do you think working or living place is safer and cleaner than before？Please give one or two examples．（No more than

from_____in the USA．（）A．one B．it C．those D．that【分析】中国的教育体制与每个的不同．【解答】答案是D．本题考查代词辨析．it指代上文提到的单数名词或不可数名词本身；one 泛指上文所提到的可数名词这一类中的一个，相当于"a+单数名词"；that指代上文出现的同类事物，是特指，相当于"the+单数名词"或"the+不可数名词"；those指代上文出现的同类事物复数名词，相当于the+复数名词；本题用代词指代的是"the education"，education 为抽象不可数名词，故选D．【点评】对于代词的选择，首先理解各代词的基本用法，其次结合语境判断代替什么，最后在语境中综合判断；此外积累常见代词的固定句式．4．（1分）（2017•南开区模拟）Work_____they might，they didn't get the result they expected．（）A．although B．since C．as D．as

it（阅读大量的关于文化冲击的信息）"的"目的"是"减少文化冲击"，所以需要的是表示目的动词不定式，故答案选择A．【点评】首先判断选项中的动词在句中是以谓语还是非谓语形式出现，然后根据选项在句中的功能结合非谓语的基本用法做出合理的判断．要关注常见非谓语动词的搭配．6．（1分）（2017•南开区模拟）Mary_____to writing classes every night since June

前为主语从句，从句中缺少的是express（表达）的宾语；that在名词性从句中不担任成分，故排除A；how和why是副词，不做宾语，排除B和D；what在名词性从句中做主语、宾语、表语或定语，故答案是C．【点评】名词性从句考查的关键是连接词的选用和语序，因此，我们首先要搞清从句的性质，掌握各连接词的用法，在此基础上判断．此外，关注名词性从句用陈述语序．11．（1分）（2017•南开区模拟）He

how fast the company actually moves．The difference is important regardless of industry and company size．Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed．In our study of 343businesses，the companies that chose to go，go，go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track．What's more，the firms that"slowed down to speed up"improved their top and bottom lines，averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three﹣﹣year period．How did they disobey the laws of business physics，taking more time than competitors yet performing better？They thought differently aboutwhat"slower"and"faster"mean．Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operational speed （moving quickly） and strategic speed （reducing the time it takes to deliver value）．Simply increasing the speed of production，for example，may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference．But that often leads to reduced value over time，in the form of lower﹣﹣quality products and services．In our study，higher﹣﹣﹣companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary．They became more open to ideas and discussion．They encouraged new ways of thinking．And they allowed time to look back and learn．By contrast，performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time，paid too much attention to improving efficiency，stuck to tested methods，didn't develop team spirit among their employees，and had little time thinking about changes．Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership．Teams that regularly take time to get things right，rather than plough ahead full bore，are more successful in meeting their business goals．That kind of strategy must come from the top．41．What does the underlined part"gain an edge"in Paragraph 2 mean？A．Get an advantageB．Increase the speedC．Reach the limit．D．Set a goal．42．The underlined part"the laws of business physics"in Paragraph 3 means ．A．spending more time and performing worseB．spending more time and performing betterC．spending less time and performing worseD．spending less time and performing better43．What can we learn from the text？A．How fast a firm moves depends on how big it is．B．How competitive a firm is depends on what it produces．C．Firms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes．D．Firms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit．44．According to the author，what is the key to deciding strategic speed？A．Pausing at key momentsB．The size of companyC．The bossD．The quality of the products45．Which could be the best title for the text？A．Improve quality？Serve better．B．Deliver value？Plough ahead．C．Reduce time？Move faster．D．Need speed？Slow down．46．（10分）My grandma whom we all called Nanny was a solid，first﹣generation，Italian immigrant．She came to this country with her family on a tiny ship during World War I when she was only 8years old．During the trip she survived stormy seas，little food，and an attack by a German U﹣boat．After getting here，her large family worked hard to build a new life in America．They never had much money but were rich in love．One day，when I was about 5or 6years old，my parents and brothers went on a trip．It was just me and Nanny in the house for the weekend．Nanny seemed so happy to be taking care of me all by herself．She made me a special breakfast that first morning．However，all I could do was to complain about how the food was not how Mom always made it．Nanny quietly put down the plate and went into the living room．I followed a minute later and saw that she had tears in her eyes．It was the first time I had ever seen my strong and proud grandmother cry and I was the one who had caused it．I walked over to Nanny，climbed on her lap，and for the first time in my short life I did something else too．I apologized without being told to and asked Nanny to forgive me．She smiled，rubbed my head，and told me I was a good boy even though I didn't feel like one then．That memory just like my Nanny's love will stay in my heart forever．It is a sign of both strength and wisdom．Asking for forgiveness helps us to learn，to grow，and to love．46．Nanny's family immigrated to America mainly because ．A．they suffered starvation in their homelandB．they wanted to start a rich life in the new landC．they tried to get away from the terrible climateD．their country was in war and they needed peace47．The boy complained to Nanny that the food ．A．wasn't cooked the way his mom didB．was served a bit later than usualC．was prepared in a special wayD．was just to his parents'taste48．When seeing Nanny crying in the living room，the author felt ．A．surprisedB．ashamedC．shockedD．annoyed49．The author mainly wants to tell us that ．A．forgiveness can be beneficial to people asking for itB．hardships can make children more indifferentC．grandparents are more tolerant than their grandchildrenD．family ties can sometimes be misused50．What kind of person is Nanny in author's eyes？A．Joyous and jealousB．Hardworking and carefulC．Strong﹣willed and wiseD．Kind and sensitive．Wouldn't it be wonderful to travel to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language？In a recent Wall Street Journal article，technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that，within a decade or so，we'll be able to communicate with one another via smallearpieces with built﹣in microphones．That's because technological progress is extremely rapid．It's only a matter of time．Indeed，some parents are so convinced that this technology is imminent that they're wondering if their kids should even learn a second language．It's true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating"No es bueno dormir mucho"as"It's not good to sleep too much．"Replacing a word with its equivalent （同义词）in the target language is actually the"easy part"of a translator's job．But even this seems to be a discouraging task for computers．It's so difficult for computers because translation doesn't﹣or shouldn't﹣involve simply translating words，sentences or paragraphs．Rather，it's about translating meaning．And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression，humans have to interpret a mass of information at the same time．Think about all the related clues that go into understanding an expression：volume，gesture，situation，and even your culture．All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use．Therefore，we should be very skeptical of a machine that is unable to interpret the world around us．If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it，how can we expect a machine to do better？Unless engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer，undoubtedly when it comes to conveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language，a machine will never fully take our place．51．What does the underlined word"imminent"in Paragraph 2probably mean？A．Ready．B．Approaching．C．Helpful．D．Advanced．52．Why is it hard for computers to replace a word with its equivalent？A．Their data is not adequate enough．B．The real meaning of words can vary．C．Their accuracy needs big improvement．D．A soul hasn't been breathed in them．53．What view does the author hold about translation？A．Proper translation can be tough for humans．B．Slight distinctions matter little in translation．C．Some machines will interpret our world properly．D．Cultures deserve more attention than words used．54．What is the best title for the text？A．An Expert's Precise PredictionB．The Complexity of TranslationC．Who Will Be a Better TranslatorD．Will Language Barrier Actually Fall55．What is the author's attitude the modern technology？A．UnclearB．ObjectiveC．OptimisticD．Negative．第三部分：写作第一节：阅读表达阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题．Some years ago industries had more freedom than they now，and they did not need to be as careful as they must today．They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed．They took little notice of the health and safety of the people who worked for them．Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them and conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers．Of course，sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes．Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore．At such times，there were inquiries into the causes of the disastersor the problems．New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries； however，the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill．Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers．In the U．S，for example，there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems．It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow．Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell．A third department looks at the places where people work，and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers．Of course，new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness，but they are having some good results．Our work places are safer and cleaner than before．The planes and cars which we use for travel are better．Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products．56．What had bad effects on the health of the workers？（No more than 6words）57．In what ways do the departments protect customers and workers？（No more than 20words）58．Please explain the underlined phrase"took little notice of"in the first paragraph in English．（No more than 5words）59．What is the passage mainly about？（No
