One night, I took a fare (出租车乘客) at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, sanding on the side way was a small woman in her 80s with a big suitcase.After I helped her into the taxi she gave me an address and asked, “Could you drive through downtown?” “It is not the shortest way,” I answered quickly. “I don’t mind,” She said, “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice (临终安养院).” I looked in the rear-view mirror (后视镜). Her eyes were wet. I quietly reached over and shut off he meter (计价器). “What route would you like me to take?” I asked.For the next two hours, we drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newly married. She had me stop in front of a shabby house, where she had gone dancing as a girl. Sometimes she asked me to slow in front of a particular building and sat staring into the darkness, saying nothing. At last, she said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”We drove in silence to the destination. It was a grey low building.“How much do I owe you?” She asked, reaching into her purse. “Nothing,” I said. Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held on to me tightly and whispered a “Thank you”. I squeezed her hand and walked into the dim morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life.I didn’t pick up any more passengers, but drove aimlessly, lost in thought. What if that woman had come across an impatient driver? What if I had refused to drive through downtown? Great moments often catch us unaware, beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.4．What caused the author to shut off the meter?A．His distrust of the fare.B．His pity for the woman.C．The breakdown of the meter.D．The cold weather at midnight. 5．What was the aim of the women’s ride downtown?A．To find a place to settle down.B．To reach the destination on time.C．To kill time before the hospice opened.D．To see the city for last time.6．What can we learn from the story?A．Giving is always a pleasure.B．People should respect elderly people.C．A small act of kindness brings people great joy.D．Strangers are family you haven’t known yet.7．Which of the following describe the author best?A．Positive and energetic.B．Helping and humorous.C．Sensitive and patient.D．Kind-hearted but demanding. 8．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．A taxi ride I will never forgetB．My strange driving experienceC．The ending of an old woman’s lifeD．An old woman passenger and her lifeThere is an old Chinese proverb that states “One generation plants the trees; another gets the shade,” and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and a daughter is sometimes confusing. The relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include a hierarchy (等级) of responsibilities and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.Marina, 27 years old, said, “I love spending time with my mom, but I wouldn’t consider her my best friend. Best friends don’t pay for your wedding. Best friends don’t remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friend: don’t tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn’t mean that the mother and daughter relationship can’t be very close and satisfying.While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common, which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if for some unfortunate reason they aren’t speaking. The mother and child relationship is closer than any other. There is not anequal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mother’s emotional well-being. It isn’t that they don’t care deeply about their mothers. It’s just that they shouldn’t be burdened with their mother’s well-being.The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mothers always “trump (胜过)” friends.9．What does the underlined word “preclude” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A．differ B．prevent C．benefit D．change 10．What do we know from the text?A．The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.B．A mother’s love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.C．The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends’ friendship.D．Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.11．How does the author mainly prove his statements?A．By listing data.B．By giving explanations.C．By quoting sayings.D．By giving examples.12．What is the best title for the text?A．How to Be a Good Mother and Daughter?B．Who Is a Mother’s Best Friend?C．Mothers or Friends?D．Can a Mother Be a Daughter’s Best Friend?二、七选五Tips for Discussing Current Events with ChildrenOften the news children see and hear can be confusing and alarming. Maybe you don’t let your child read or watch the news. 13 With some preparation, you can help your child to understand and react calmly to news and current events.The first thing to keep in mind is to find out what your child already knows. Your child may have already heard about an event but lack context for an understanding of the details. Ask your child questions about what news topics are being discussed in school or what stories they recently saw in the newspaper or on TV. 14Another way you can help your child understand the news is to seek out child-appropriate news sources. Explain to your child the importance of getting news from reliable sources. There are multiple well-regarded websites that have news stories for younger children. 15 Try to watch or read the news together and encourage your child to ask questions if they see something confusing.16 If a news story upsets you, it is okay to tell your child this, showing children that having strong feelings about world events is healthy. However, you shouldn’t try to force your child to feel the same way as you. Encourage your child to read or watch the news critically and draw their own conclusions.All in all, by talking with your child about current events, you can help your child to feel more confident in their understanding of the world. 17A．Finally, be careful not to upset your child.B．Besides, be honest with your child about your feelings.C．But they can hear about events from other children at school.D．This is not likely to be an attractive option for older children.E．Then you can help them fill in gaps in their understanding of events.F．You can also help them become a better and more informed global citizen.G．Older children may want to read the same news sources that you read or watch.三、完形填空It might sound a bit old-fashioned, but there’s something unique about handwrittenso started a correspondence(通信)that 27 for several years.Then out of the blue, he passed away. My mum was 28 as they had not really spoken for years. I went upstairs and presented a box of 29 from him. She comforted herself reading them and knowing that 30 she hadn’t been in touch, I had grown close to him by writing to him.I often think about how that one 31 childhood behavior led to such an enriching correspondence.

head．One woman tripped over（绊倒）the stone and her water pot went crashing to the ground．She picked herself up and walked away in tears，Neither she nor her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road．The king watched all day as many people complained about the stone，but he found nobody was willing to move it．The king wondered，"Is there no one in this village who feels any responsibility to keep their neighbors from harm？"Just then，the king saw a young girl coming along．She was the daughter of a local farmer，She had been working all day andwas very tired．But when she saw he stone，she said to herself．"This stone is a danger to anyone who comes down the road after dark．I′ll move it out of the way．"After a grent deal of effort，the girl finally succeeded in moving the stone to the side of the road．Imagine her surprise when she saw the gold coins where the stone had been!Just then，the king stepped out from behind the tree．"Oh sir，"the girl said，"Is this gold yours？If not，we surely must find the owner，for he will certainly miss it．"The king said，"My dear，the gold is mine，but now the gold is yours，because you are the only person who has learnt the lesson I want to teach my

was hurrying to catch the yellow schoolbus，Luckily the trafic lights turned green as she was to cross the road，so she made it．When the bus passed the golden arches（拱形门）of MeDonald′s，they reminded her of a hamburger．She hadn′t had breakfast that morning because the fruit salad on the blue dish didn′t look delicious at all．However，Amber remembered that she was still on a diet．So now she was really in a black mood．You may have noticed that several colors were used in the above story so as to help describe Amber's morning．In fact，colors influence your life more than you can ever imagine．Take language for example：You may describe a sick person as being"a bit green"．To describe a depressed（沮丧的）person，you say that the person is"feeling blue"．In short，colors do add interest to daily conversations．Besides，colors can be used in many parts of your daily life．Have you ever thought about why many school buses and taxis are painted yellow，and stop signs red？Since yellow is the most eye﹣catching color，it can catch people's attention，especially inheavy traffic．As for red，it is the color which usually shows warning；as a result，some traffic signs use this color．For the same reason，hot﹣water taps are usually marked red．The colors of a dining environment possibly decide how much you eat．Most fast﹣food restaurants are often decorated in bright colors such as red，yellow，orange，and white for the purpose of increasing people′s appetites（胃口）．This is because bright colors are natural colors found in many foods，and，therefore，able lo raise people's spirits．Blue，in comparison with bright colors，is sad to lower people′s appetites because few foods are blue in nature．For those who are on a diet，blue dishes and bowls might help!"Morning，Amber!What happened？You look a bit green，"said Violet，Amber′s best friend，"Nothing…just feeling…blue，"said Amber．"Hey! Come to my place tonight．Do you know what I just bought？A wii! It′s red﹣hot．"Amber was tickled pink to have the chance to play wth the wii and said，"Sounds great!"（1）According to the passage，if you are on a diet，A might help．A．putting your food in a blue dish or bowlB．turning on a yellow light during the mealC．painting the walls of the diningroom whiteD．covering the dining table with an orange cloth（2）Most school buses are painted yellow because C．A．it tells other divers to prepare to stopB．it helps bus divers say in a good moodC．it can easily catch other people′s attentionD．it is the color that most schoolchildren like（3）Which of the following statements is true？AA．Amber looked ill when Violet saw her first．B．Amber ate up all her fruit salad in the morning．C．Amber refused to go to Violet's house in the end．D．Amber didn′t catch the school bus and was late for school．（4）Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage？B A．Colors influence people's daily lives．B．Most fast﹣food restaurants are painted grey．C．Different colors are used for different purposes．D．Colors make daily conversations more interesting．（5）What can we infer（推断）from the passage？B A．Amber was not fat at all．B．Amber cheered up at Violet's invitation at last．C．Violet didn't know how colors influenced our lives．D．Arches of McDonald's are painted gold only to make them beautiful．解析：本文讲述了颜色对人们的生活有很大的影响，颜色能增加日常谈话的趣味性，不同的颜色可以描述不同的意思并且颜色还可以影响人的食欲．参考答案：（1）A．细节理解题．For those who are on a diet，blue dishes and bowls might help!对于那些正在节食的人来说，蓝色的盘子和碗可能会有帮助！可知如果减肥，把食物盛在蓝色盘子里．故选A．（2）C．细节理解题．Since yellow is the most eye﹣catching color，it can catch people's attention，especially in heavy traffic．因为黄色是最抢眼的颜色，它能吸引人们的注意力，特别是在交通拥挤的时候．可知校车是黄色是因为黄色最抢眼．故选C．（3）A．细节理解题．根据You may describe a sick person as being"a bit green"．可知你可以用"有点绿"来形容病人．根据"Morning，Amber!What happened？Y ou look a bit green，"said Violet．"早上好，安伯！"怎么了？你看起来有点绿，"维奥莱特说．可以得知Amber看起来生病了．故选A．（4）B．细节理解题．根据The colors of a dining environment possibly decide how much you eat．Most fast﹣food restaurants are often decorated in bright coors such as red，yelow，orange，and white for the purpose of increasing people′s appetites（胃口）．可知就餐环境的颜色可能决定你吃多少．大多数快餐店通常用鲜艳的颜色装饰，如红色、黄色、橙色和白色，以增加人们的食欲（胃口）．故选B．（5）B．细节推断题．根据Amber was tickled pink to have the chance to play with the wii and said，"Sounds great!"可知安伯有机会打Wii，说："太好了！"，从而可以推断出能打Wii，Amber 非常高兴．故选B．点拨：在通读全文的基础上，根据全文大意，展开逻辑思维，瞻前顾后，认真观察选项，仔细推敲，确定最佳答案．四、第二部分非选择题（共60分）阅读表达阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题．（10分）20．（10分）Paying for bus rides with plastic usually makes people think of plastic bus cards．But one Indonesian city has decided to accept plastic recyclable waste in place of money for city buses．Surabaya，Indonesia's second largest city，located on the eastern end of the country′s main island Java，made this decision in April 2018．Now，locals can pay for their bus rides by puttingplastic cups or bottles directly on the bus．A two﹣hour bus ride costs 10 plastic cups or 5 bottles．Indonesia is the second largest ocean plastic polluter，producing up to 2.4 million tons of plastic waste into the oceans every year according to a report．Only in Surabaya nearly 400 tons of plastic waste is produced every day．The head of Surabaya's transportation department（交通部门）said，"With this decision，we hope to raise public awareness about environment，especially people's awareness about plastic waste．"Each city bus can collect up to 550 pounds of plastic bottles and cups every day．The collected bottles are sold to recycling companies and the money earned from it goes toward running the bus companies and providing money for green spaces in the city．This is certainly turning rubbish into a national treasure．The decision is part of the city's purpose to become plastic waste﹣free by 2020．In order to encourage local people to take buses，the city also added the new Suroboyo buses．The new buses are air﹣conditioned，comfortable and easy for elderly and disabled passengers to get on and off．The program is well received．People in Surabaya said，"We can reduce waste so it doesn't pile up at home because we can just bring it in and make good use of it．It is a win﹣win situation．"This type of program can be a model for other cities worldwide and encourage citizens to recycle their plastic waste．回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过六个词．（1）Instead of money，how can locals in Surabaya pay for bus rides now？By putting plastic cups or bottles．（2）How much plastic waste does a two﹣hour bus ride cost？10 plastic cups or 5 bottles．（3）How much plastic waste is produced in Surabaya every day？400 tons．（4）What is the purpose of the new program？To become plastic waste﹣free by 2020．（5）What do local people think of the new program？It is a win﹣win situation．解析：这篇短文主要介绍了印尼第二大城市泗水市采用可回收的塑料支付公交车费的举措．这个举措提高了公众的环境意识，特别是人们对塑料垃圾的认识．收集到的瓶子卖给回收公司，从中赚来的钱用于经营公交公司和为城市的绿化提供资金，这个城市到2020年实现无塑料垃圾的目标．这种做法可以成为世界其他城市的典范，鼓励市民回收塑料垃圾．参考答案：细节理解题（1）By putting plastic cups or bottles．根据短文第二段Now，local can pay for their bus rides by putting plastic cups or bottles directly on the bus．可知：现在，当地人可以直接在公交车上放塑料杯或塑料瓶来支付乘坐公交车的费用．故填：By putting plastic cups or bottles．（2）10 plastic cups or 5 bottles．根据短语第二段A two﹣hour bus ride costs 10 plastic cups or 5 bottles．可知：乘坐两小时的巴士需要10个塑料杯或5个瓶子．故填：10 plastic cups or 5 bottles．（3）400 tons．根据短文第三段Only in Surabaya nearly 400 tons of plastic waste is produced every day．可知：仅在泗水，每天产生近400吨塑料垃圾．故填：400 tons．（4）To become plastic waste﹣free by 2020．根据短文第五段The decision is part of the city's purpose to become plastic waste﹣free by 2020．可知：这项决定是该市到2020年实现无塑料垃圾的目标的一部分．故填：To become plastic waste﹣free by 2020．（5）It is a win﹣win situation．根据短文第六段It is a win﹣win situation．可知：当地人认为这个方案是一个双赢的局面．故填：It is a win﹣win situation．点拨：首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，找。

fallen buildings and hundreds or even thousands of victims．But only 13 people were killed in the powerful earthquake in Chile on Sept 16，2015．That is the most surprising thing．According to New York Times．Chile had spent quite a lot of money on the project of making its buildings stronger．Also，it had changed its tsunami（海啸）warning system．Both of these helped prevent a disaster in the country．Besides，strict laws and rules have made people more ready for earthquakes．Schools have increasingly started doing drills（演练），all society is filled with creative ways to keep safe in earthquakes．Chile，a South American country，is one of the places where earthquakes are most likely．Its 17 million people have been taught more than enough information about earthquake．The strongest earthquakes ever recorded happened in Chile：a 9.5﹣magnitude earthquake in 1960 that killed more than 5，000 people．And most recently，an 8.8﹣magnitude earthquake in central Chile in 2010 killed more than 500 people and destroyed 220，000 homes．The 2010 earthquake was 5.6 times more powerful than the 2015 earthquake．And the 2010 earthquake hit in the middle of the night，while the 2015 earthquake happened during an evening when many people were outside for barbecues and other celebrations before the country's Independence Day on Sept 18．The biggest problem in 2010 was human mistakes．The

D．/；the【考点】定冠词（the）．【分析】当中国大陆和台湾的领导人自1949年起第一次在新加坡会面的时候，习主席说："今天将永远被铭记在历史上"．【解答】答案：B．第一空后为序数词，其前必须加the，第二空后是单词history，它和in 搭配意思是历史上，是固定搭配，故in和history间什么也不填，故答案为B【点评】本题考查定冠词的用法，在熟悉其用法规则的基础上可正确作答．2．﹣What____will you get after winning the competition in the programme Stay to the end（一站到底）？﹣A free trip to Bali Island．（）A．award B．attention C．advice D．ability【考点】名词的词义辨析．【分析】﹣在《一站到底》这个节目中赢了比赛你会得到什么奖品？﹣去巴厘岛的免费旅行．【解答】答案：Aaward奖品；attention注意；advice建议；ability能力；根据after winning the competition及A free trip to Bali

D．quiet【考点】形容词词义辨析．【分析】Simon以前很安静，但是现在他参加不同的活动，也交了许多新朋友．【解答】答案：Dhonest诚实的；lively活泼的；active积极的，活跃的；quiet安静的；根据but now he takes part in different activities and has made many new

C．will send D．is sent【考点】一般将来时的被动语态．【分析】月球探测器嫦娥5号今年将被发送到太空．它将在月球上着陆并且带着月球上的样品归来．【解答】答案：B 根据"It will land on the moon"，可知嫦娥5号是在将来着陆，也就是说发射嫦娥5号也是将来发生的事情．故应该用一般将来时（will+do）．根据选项中所呈现的谓语动词send，可知含义为"发射"．主语是"发射"的承受者，故应该用一般将来时的被动语态（will be+done）．故选B．【点评】本题考查被动语态．首先要判断出主语与谓语动词的关系（主语是动作的发出者还是承受者），进而判断语态，然后根据后半句判断出正确的时态．5．﹣Could I smoke here？﹣Sorry．I am afraid you_____．Look at the sign"No smoking"!（）A．couldn't B．needn't C．can't D．won't【考点】情态动词．【分析】﹣我可以在这吸烟吗？﹣﹣不好意思，恐怕不行，看那有"禁止吸烟"的标志！【解答】答案C．由后面的"No smoking!"知表示不可以吸烟，应在A，C里面选．can较could更加表现说话人肯定的语气，固选C．【点评】考察情态动词的用法，区别can和could的用法6．Firemen in Jingjiang，together with those from

through接通电话，put up张贴，搭建，拿起；put out扑灭；生产；出版；根据句子中"firemen消防员"以及"the big fire大火"可以推断出这里应该是："扑灭了大火"，故选：D．【点评】考查动词短语理解句子的意思及动词短语的意思，结合句意和语法来选择正确和答案．平时要多积累词汇是作答这类题型的前提．7．﹣The service is very wonderful and the weather is quite fine．A．the better one B．a good oneC．a better one D．the best one【考点】形容词的比较级和最高级．【分析】﹣服务非常好，而且天气很好．﹣是的，这个假期太棒了，我们以前从未有过一个比这更好的假期．【解答】答案：C．根据语境"the holiday is so great 及before"可知是现在和以前比较哪个更好，故应用比较级，可排除B和D，又比较级前不用冠词the，可排除A，所以答案应为C．【点评】本题考察形容词比较级、最高级的用法．考考生可结合语境作答，同时注意最高级前必须加the．8．﹣Excuse me，where's the meeting room？﹣．I will show you there．（）A．This way，please B．That's rightC．I can manage D．In your dreams【考点】常用日常交际用语．【分析】打扰一下，会议室在哪里？﹣﹣这边请．我将给你带路．【解答】答案：A 根据问句"where's the meeting room？"，可知这是在问路．故答句应该选择指路用语．A

B．anyone；EveryoneC．everyone；Anyone D．everyone；Everyone【考点】不定代词．【分析】﹣﹣教室里还有其他人吗？﹣﹣教室里没有人了．每个人都在学校大厅里听演讲．【解答】答案为B．anyone，任何人，任何一个；everyone，每一个人．anyone作代词主要用于疑问句中，故第一个空答案为anyone．根据回答，我们知道，教室是空的，所以每个人应该都在学校大厅里听演讲，所以后面一个空为everyone．故答案为B．【点评】考察不定代词辨析，同时根据语境选出答案．10．﹣As a nurse，her work goestaking care of her patients．﹣Yes，she always thinks of others．（）A．beyond B．beside C．behind D．between【分析】﹣﹣作为一名护士，她的工作超出了照顾病人．﹣﹣是的，她总是为别人着想．【解答】答案：A．结合答语"是的，她总是为别人着想．"可以推断设空处句子表达的意思是"作为一名护士，她的工作超出了照顾病人．"，所以设空处的短语表达的意思是"超越；超出"，应该为：go beyond，故选A【点评】了解每个介词的含义是做好此类题型的关键，还要从句意着手，根据句意作出解答；所以，平时的学习中要多进行积累词汇，才能很好的完成．11．﹣Mom，I want to watch The legend of Miyue（芈月传）on China 8 tonight．﹣Oh，dear，itfor a few minutes．Come on!（）A．has begun B．will begin C．has been on D．will be on【考点】现在完成时．【分析】﹣妈妈，我今晚想看中央8台的"芈月传"．﹣哦，亲爱的，它已经开始几分钟了．快点！【解答】答案：C．根据语境"for a few minutes（几分钟）和come on"，可知节目已经进行了几分钟并且现在还在演，故应用动词的现在现在完成时态（基本结构：主语+have/has+动词的过去分词）．故可排除B．D．又由于begin是非延续性动词不能和for a few minutes搭配．而has been on（表示持续性的状态）所以只有答案C合适．【点评】本题考查动词的现在完成时态，考生需结合语境、单词词义才能正确作答．12．﹣Wechat（微信）really influences people's life．﹣．It is easier for us to keep in touch with others．（）A．Mainly B．Exactly C．Simply D．Mostly【考点】副词的词义辨析．【分析】﹣微信真的影响了人们的生活．﹣确切的说．它使我们更容易与别人保持联系．【解答】答案：B；Mainly主要地；Exactly确切地、准确地；Simply简单地；Mostly大部分；根据答语It is easier for us to keep in touch with others和上句Wechat（微信）really influences people's life推测该空应填Exactly、确切地；故选B．【点评】比较和分析四个不同副词的含义及其用法是解答该题的关键；还要根据句中信息正确推测该句句意，进而作出解答．13．﹣The novel seems a little boring．﹣You won't enjoy ityou put your heart into it．（）A．when B．if C．after D．unless【分析】﹣﹣这部小说好像有点无聊．﹣﹣除非你用心读否则你不会欣赏它的．【解答】答案：D．本题考查的是从属连词的辨析．根据题意，从前半句"你不会欣赏它"和后半句"你用心读"来看，这里需要一个表假设的连词，主句用一般将来时从句用一般现在时说明后句是表假设的条件状语从句，结合选项，unless可以引导一个表假设的条件状语从句，意为"除非"，相当于if not．故选D．【点评】本题主要考查连词的用法，做此类题目一定要弄清句意，明白上下文之间的关系，才能更好地判断出所要用的连词．14．﹣Mr Ling．I have some difficultythe article．﹣Rememberit three or four times at least．（）A．to understand；reading B．understanding；readingC．understanding；to read D．to understand；to read【考点】非谓语动词．【分析】凌老师．我在理解文章方面有些困难．﹣﹣记住至少读三或四遍．【解答】答案：C 根据have some difficulty，可知此处考查固定短语"have difficulty in doing sth"（在某方面有困难），in可以省略．故第一个空用understanding．第一句提出自己的麻烦后，第二句应该为凌老师给出的建议，为还没有做的事情．记得去做某事用remember to do sth．故第二个空用to read．故选C．【点评】本题考查两个固定短语．注意区分remember to do与remember doing的区别：remember to do 意思是记住去做某事，表示这件事情还没有做．remember doing 意思是记得做过某事，表示这件事情还已经做了．15．﹣Could you tell me？﹣Every four years．The 24th will take place in China in 2022．（）A．how long the Winter Olympic Games lastB．how long do the Winter Olympic Games lastC．how often are the Winter Olympic Games heldD．how often the Winter Olympic Games are held【考点】宾语从句．【分析】﹣﹣你能告诉我冬奥会多久举行一次吗？﹣﹣每四年举行一次．第二十四届冬奥会将在2022年在中国举行．【解答】答案：D．根据Could you tell me，可知本句考查了宾语从句的用法．在宾语从句中所使用的语序应该是陈述句语序，选项BC是疑问句语序，排除掉．再根据Every four years，可知这里询问的是频率，多久一次，提问频率【点评】此题考查宾语从句．考生在答题时要注意"宾语从句必须采用陈述语序"，根据上下文语境确定合适的选项．二、完形填空阅读短文，从每题所给选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.16．On

Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life.Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregiver. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings.One study shows that babies can learn before they are born. The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant (怀孕) woman. Then, they played a recording of a short story. On the day the baby was born, the researchers tried to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother. They did this by placing a device (装置) inthe mouth of the newborn baby.The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way. If the baby moved his mouth the other way, he would hear a different story. The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born. They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again.Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children. Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. The researchers tried to measure the sensitivity (敏感度) of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children’s activities and did not interfere (干涉) unnecessarily.

The fast food chain (连锁店) will add a serving (一份食物的量) of fruit or vegetable to all of the meals, which are aimed at children, and reduce the amount of French fries.McDonald’s said it first experimented with cutting fries entirely from the Happy Meals, but children and parents disagreed. “People come to McDonald’s and, first of all, they want the choice and the control to be theirs, but their expectation of a Happy Meal does include fries,”said Jan Fields, president of McDonald’s in the US. ”When we did it without fries, there was a huge disappointment.”The new French fries in Happy Meals will contain 1.1 ounces (31 grams) of potatoes, down from 2.4 ounces. Apple slices will often be included as the healthy dish, but it could also be carrots, pineapple slices or oranges, depending on the time of year and the region(区域) in which they are being served.Although the subject to variation (变化) depends on what is ordered, the new meals will represent, on average, a 20% decrease (减少) in calories (卡路里) , the chain said. Fields said Happy Meal prices will not go up as a result of the changes. But the chain has raised prices this year as a result of increasing costs.As the world’s largest restaurant chain by sales, McDonald’s has been under careful examination for the nutritional (营养的) quality of its food. People also criticized its sales of children’s meals with a toy, connecting it to the nation’s obesity (肥胖) problem.1．Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?A．New Happy Meals contain fewer calories.B．New Happy Meal prices are not the same as the old ones.C．People do not want to eat French fries in Happy Meals.D．Old Happy Meals contain 2.4 ounces of potatoes in the form of French fries.2．According to the passage ,_____________won’t be served in the new Happy Meals.A．apple slices B．orangesC．bananas D．carrots3．Why did people criticize the sale of children’s meals with a toy at McDonald’s?A．The toy is of poor quality.B．Children prefer its toys to its meals.C．It makes the children’s meals more expensive.D．It will cause the obesity problem.4．What is the best title for the passage?A．McDonald’s to Raise Price AgainB．McDonald’s in Careful ExaminationC．McDonald’s Critici zed by Children and ParentsD．McDonald’s to Make Happy Meals HealthierE17、Many people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plane. So airlines offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree?To solve this problem , airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they don’t want to lose customers.However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude( 海拔)we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure( 气压) reduces one third of thesensibility(感觉)of our taste buds( 味蕾).So our taste buds become senseless. The sad face, however, is that our noses don’t know it.All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy( 辛辣)food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless.Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.Though scientists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they can’t deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them.1．In Paragraph2,“this problem” means _______.A．passengers stay long in the planeB．food on the plane tastes badC．passengers have no food to eatD．food on the plane is expensive2．Why do scientists feel it hard to made food on the plane taste good?A．The volunteers don’t know about food taste.B．The volunteers don’t understand them.C．They can’t find enough volunteers.D．They can’t deal with the special environment successfully. 3．What is the best title of the passage?A．Taste of Airplane FoodB．Airplane TravelC．Scientific Research on NosesD．The Change in Air Pressure.F18、1．Which of the four novels is the thinnest?

and watched．The first person down the street was a milkman with his cart （小车）．He crashed into the stone himself up and angrily went away．After a while，a group of women came along，each balancing a pot of water on her head．One woman tripped over（绊倒）the stone and her water pot went crashing to the ground．She picked herself up and walked away in tears，Neither she nor her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road．The king watched all day as many people complained about the stone，but he found nobody was willing to move it．The king wondered，"Is there no one in this village who feels any responsibility to keep their neighbors from harm？"Just then，the king saw a young girl coming along．She was the daughter of a local farmer，She had been working all day and was very tired．But when she saw he stone，she said to herself．"This stone is a danger to anyone who comes down the road after dark．I′ll move it out of the way．"After a grent deal of effort，the girl finally succeeded inmoving the stone to the side of the road．Imagine her surprise when she saw the gold coins where the stone had been!Just then，the king stepped out from behind the tree．"Oh sir，"the girl said，"Is this gold yours？If not，we surely must find the owner，for he will certainly miss it．"The king said，"My dear，the gold is mine，but now the gold is yours，because you are the only person who has learnt the lesson I want to teach my people．Nothing good can come to a nation whose people only complain and expect others to solve their problems．"（1）How did the milkman feel when he crashed into the

catch the yellow schoolbus，Luckily the trafic lights turned green as she was to cross the road，so she made it．When the bus passed the golden arches（拱形门）of MeDonald′s，they reminded her of a hamburger．She hadn′t had breakfast that morning because the fruit salad on the blue dish didn′t look delicious at all．However，Amber remembered that she was still on a diet．So now she was really in a black mood．You may have noticed that several colors were used in the above story so as to help describe Amber's morning．In fact，colors influence your life more than you can ever imagine．Take language for example：You may describe a sick person as being"a bit green"．To describe a depressed（沮丧的）person，you say that the person is"feeling blue"．In short，colors do add interest to daily conversations．Besides，colors can be used in many parts of your daily life．Have you ever thought about why many school buses and taxis are painted yellow，and stop signs red？Since yellow is the most eye﹣catching color，it can catch people's attention，especially in heavy traffic．As for red，it is the color which usually shows warning；as a result，some traffic signs use this color．For the same reason，hot﹣water taps are usually marked red．The colors of a dining environment possibly decide how much you eat．Most fast﹣food restaurants are often decorated in bright colors such as red，yellow，orange，and white for the purpose of increasing people′s appetites（胃口）．This is because bright colors are natural colors found in many foods，and，therefore，able lo raise people's spirits．Blue，in comparison with bright colors，is sad to lower people′s appetites because few foods are blue in nature．For those who are on a diet，blue dishes and bowls might help!"Morning，Amber!What happened？You look a bit green，"said Violet，Amber′s best friend，"Nothing…just feeling…blue，"said Amber．"Hey! Come to my place tonight．Do you know what I just bought？A wii! It′s red﹣hot．"Amber was tickled pink to have the chance to play wth the wii and said，"Sounds great!"（1）According to the passage，if you are on a diet，might help．A．putting your food in a blue dish or bowlB．turning on a yellow light during the mealC．painting the walls of the diningroom whiteD．covering the dining table with an orange cloth（2）Most school buses are painted yellow because．A．it tells other divers to prepare to stopB．it helps bus divers say in a good moodC．it can easily catch other people′s attentionD．it is the color that most schoolchildren like（3）Which of the following statements is true？A．Amber looked ill when Violet saw her first．B．Amber ate up all her fruit salad in the morning．C．Amber refused to go to Violet's house in the end．D．Amber didn′t catch the school bus and was late for school．（4）Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage？A．Colors influence people's daily lives．B．Most fast﹣food restaurants are painted grey．C．Different colors are used for different purposes．D．Colors make daily conversations more interesting．（5）What can we infer（推断）from the passage？A．Amber was not fat at all．B．Amber cheered up at Violet's invitation at last．C．Violet didn't know how colors influenced our lives．D．Arches of McDonald's are painted gold only to make them beautiful．四、第二部分非选择题（共60分）阅读表达阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题．（10分）20．（10分）Paying for bus rides with plastic usually makespeople think of plastic bus cards．But one Indonesian city has decided to accept plastic recyclable waste in place of money for city buses．Surabaya，Indonesia's second largest city，located on the eastern end of the country′s main island Java，made this decision in April 2018．Now，locals can pay for their bus rides by putting plastic cups or bottles directly on the bus．A two﹣hour bus ride costs 10 plastic cups or 5 bottles．Indonesia is the second largest ocean plastic polluter，producing up to 2.4 million tons of plastic waste into the oceans every year according to a report．Only in Surabaya nearly 400 tons of plastic waste is produced every day．The head of Surabaya's transportation department（交通部门）said，"With this decision，we hope to raise public awareness about environment，especially people's awareness about plastic waste．"Each city bus can collect up to 550 pounds of plastic bottles and cups every day．The collected bottles are sold to recycling companies and the money earned from it goes toward running the bus companies and providing money for green spaces in the city．This is certainly turning rubbish into a national treasure．The decision is part of the city's purpose to become plastic waste﹣free by 2020．In order to encourage local people to takebuses，the city also added the new Suroboyo buses．The new buses are air﹣conditioned，comfortable and easy for elderly and disabled passengers to get on and off．The program is well received．People in Surabaya said，"We can reduce waste so it doesn't pile up at home because we can just bring it in and make good use of it．It is a win﹣win situation．"This type of program can be a model for other cities worldwide and encourage citizens to recycle their plastic waste．回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过六个词．（1）Instead of money，how can locals in Surabaya pay for bus rides now？（2）How much plastic waste does a two﹣hour bus ride cost？（3）How much plastic waste is produced in Surabaya every day？（4）What is the purpose of the new program？（5）What do local people think of the new program？五、任务型阅读阅读下面的短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格只填一个单词。

was hurrying to catch the yellow schoolbus，Luckily the trafic lights turned green as she was to cross the road，so she made it．When the bus passed the golden arches（拱形门）of MeDonald′s，they reminded her of a hamburger．She hadn′t had breakfast that morning because the fruit salad on the blue dish didn′t look delicious at all．However，Amber remembered that she was still on a diet．So now she was really in a black mood．You may have noticed that several colors were used in the above story so as to help describe Amber's morning．In fact，colors influence your life more than you can ever imagine．Take language for example：You may describe a sick person as being"a bit green"．To describe a depressed（沮丧的）person，you say that the person is"feeling blue"．In short，colors do add interest to daily conversations．Besides，colors can be used in many parts of your daily life．Have you ever thought about why many school buses and taxis are painted yellow，and stop signs red？Since yellow is the most eye﹣catching color，it can catch people's attention，especially inheavy traffic．As for red，it is the color which usually shows warning；as a result，some traffic signs use this color．For the same reason，hot﹣water taps are usually marked red．The colors of a dining environment possibly decide how much you eat．Most fast﹣food restaurants are often decorated in bright colors such as red，yellow，orange，and white for the purpose of increasing people′s appetites（胃口）．This is because bright colors are natural colors found in many foods，and，therefore，able lo raise people's spirits．Blue，in comparison with bright colors，is sad to lower people′s appetites because few foods are blue in nature．For those who are on a diet，blue dishes and bowls might help!"Morning，Amber!What happened？You look a bit green，"said Violet，Amber′s best friend，"Nothing…just feeling…blue，"said Amber．"Hey! Come to my place tonight．Do you know what I just bought？A wii!

makes people think of plastic bus cards．But one Indonesian city has decided to accept plastic recyclable waste in place of money for city buses．Surabaya，Indonesia's second largest city，located on the eastern end of the country′s main island Java，made this decision in April 2018．Now，locals can pay for their bus rides by puttingplastic cups or bottles directly on the bus．A two﹣hour bus ride costs 10 plastic cups or 5 bottles．Indonesia is the second largest ocean plastic polluter，producing up to 2.4 million tons of plastic waste into the oceans every year according to a report．Only in Surabaya nearly 400 tons of plastic waste is produced every day．The head of Surabaya's transportation department（交通部门）said，"With this decision，we hope to raise public awareness about environment，especially people's awareness about plastic waste．"Each city bus can collect up to 550 pounds of plastic bottles and cups every day．The collected bottles are sold to recycling companies and the money earned from it goes toward running the bus companies and providing money for green spaces in the city．This is certainly turning rubbish into a national treasure．The decision is part of the city's purpose to become plastic waste﹣free by 2020．In order to encourage local people to take buses，the city also added the new Suroboyo buses．The new buses are air﹣conditioned，comfortable and easy for elderly and disabled passengers to get on and off．The program is well received．People in Surabaya said，"We can reduce waste so it doesn't pile up at home because we can just bring it in and make good use of it．It is a win﹣win situation．"This type of program can be a model for other cities worldwide and encourage citizens to recycle their plastic waste．回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过六个词．（1）Instead of money，how can locals in Surabaya pay for bus rides now？By putting plastic cups or bottles．（2）How much plastic waste does a two﹣hour bus ride cost？10 plastic cups or 5 bottles．（3）How much plastic waste is produced in Surabaya every day？400 tons．（4）What is the purpose of the new program？To become plastic waste﹣free by 2020．（5）What do local people think of the new program？It is a win﹣win situation．解析：这篇短文主要介绍了印尼第二大城市泗水市采用可回收的塑料支付公交车费的举措．这个举措提高了公众的环境意识，特别是人们对塑料垃圾的认识．收集到的瓶子卖给回收公司，从中赚来的钱用于经营公交公司和为城市的绿化提供资金，这个城市到2020年实现无塑料垃圾的目标．这种做法可以成为世界其他城市的典范，鼓励市民回收塑料垃圾．参考答案：细节理解题（1）By putting plastic cups or bottles．根据短文第二段Now，local can pay for their bus rides by putting plastic cups or bottles directly on the bus．可知：现在，当地人可以直接在公交车上放塑料杯或塑料瓶来支付乘坐公交车的费用．故填：By putting plastic cups or bottles．（2）10 plastic cups or 5 bottles．根据短语第二段A two﹣hour bus ride costs 10 plastic cups or 5 bottles．可知：乘坐两小时的巴士需要10个塑料杯或5个瓶子．故填：10 plastic cups or 5 bottles．（3）400 tons．根据短文第三段Only in Surabaya nearly 400 tons of plastic waste is produced every day．可知：仅在泗水，每天产生近400吨塑料垃圾．故填：400 tons．（4）To become plastic waste﹣free by 2020．根据短文第五段The decision is part of the city's purpose to become plastic waste﹣free by 2020．可知：这项决定是该市到2020年实现无塑料垃圾的目标的一部分．故填：To become plastic waste﹣free by 2020．（5）It is a win﹣win situation．根据短文第六段It is a win﹣win situation．可知：当地人认为这个方案是一个双赢的局面．故填：It is a win﹣win

Eugene Volokh, a law professor at the UCLA School of Law, says the machines have to be used in the right way and it will be interesting to see how state laws deal with this kind of video.William Santana Li says there is a long waiting list for the robots in theUS.

Security Robots Could Help Cut CrimeBTechnology is supposed to make our lives easier, allowing us todo things more quickly and efficiently. But too often it seems to make things harder. This increase in complexity, often called "feature creep," costs consumers time, but it also costs business money. Product returns in the U.S. cost a hundred billion dollars a year, and a recent study by Elke den Ouden, of Philips Electronics, found that at least half of returned products have nothing wrong with them. Consumers just couldn't figure out how to use them. Companies now know a great deal about problems of usability and consumer behavior, so why is it that feature creep proves unstoppable?In part, fieature creep is the product of the so-called internal-audience problem: the people who design and sell product are not the ones who buy and use them, and what engineers and marketers think is important is not necessarily what's best for consumers. The engineers tend not to notice when more options make a product less usable. And marketing and sales departments see each additional feature as a new selling point, and anew way to attract customers.You might think, then, that companies could avoid fieature creep by just paying attention to what customers really want. But that's where the trouble begins, because although consumers find overloaded gadgets（配件）unmanageable,they also find them attractive. It turns out that when we look at a new product in a store we tend to think that the more features there are, the better. It is only once we get the product home and try to use it that we realize the virtues of simplicity.It seems strange that we don't expect feature tiredness and thus avoid it. But, as numerous studies have shown, people are not, in general, good at predicting what will make them happy in the future. As a result, we will pay more for more features because we systematically overestimate how often we'll use them. We also overestimate our ability to figure out how a complicated product works.The fact that buyers want bells and whistles but users want something clear and simple creates an unusualproblem for companies. A product that doesn't have enough features may fail to catch our eye in the store. But a product with too many features is likely to annoy consumers.4.

The More Features, the BetterD. Simplicity Outweighs ComplexityCMark Bertram, 46, lost the tips of two fingers at work in 2018 when his hand became trapped in a fan belt. “It's life-changing but it's not life-ending,” he says. “Doing work is harder now. Everything is just a little different.”After two surgeries and occupational therapy, Bertram decided to make light of his condition by asking Eric Catalano, a tattoo (纹身) artist, to create fingernail tattoos. The idea made everyone in the studio laugh—until they saw the final result. “The mood changed,” Catalano recalls from his Eternal Ink Tattoo Studio. “Everything turned from funny to wow.”When Catalano posted a photo of the tattoos, a pair of fingernails that looked so real that no one couldbelieve their eyes, he had no idea the image would eventually be viewed by millions of people around the world.The viral photo pushed Catalano, 40, further into the world of paramedical (辅助医疗的) tattooing. Now people with life-altering scars come from as far away as Ireland to visit his shop. They enter Eternal Ink looking for the artistic healing they saw online. Using flesh-toned (肉色的) inks and a needle, Catalano transforms his clients' view of themselves.Leslie Pollan, 32, a dog breeder in Oxford, was bitten on the face by a puppy in 2014. She underwent countless surgeries to correct a scar on her lip.“Plastic surgery gave me no hope,” she says. “So I looked for other options.” She ultimately traveled six hours to meet with Catalano. He hid Pollan's lip scar, giving her back a piece of her confidence.“ You don't understand until you've been through it,” Pollan says. “It made me have a different look on life.”Catalano performs up to eight reconstructive tattoos. While he charges $100 per regular tattoo, he doesn't charge for paramedical tattoos. “Financially, it doesn't make sense,” Catalano says. “But every time I see that emotion from my customers, I'm 100 percent sure this is something that I can't stop doing.”8. What best describes people's attitude when first hearing of fingernail tattoos?A. Indifferent.B. Ridiculous.C. Confident.D. Surprised.9. What did Catalano do to help Leslie Pollan?A. He drew an artistic puppy.B. He inked scars on her face.C. He created a lip tattoo.D. He performed plastic surgeries on her.10. What can we infer from the passage?A. Cosmetic surgery is of no use.B.

A Life-changing EventB. Miracle TattoosC. An Amazing ArtistD. A Promising BusinessDWe interviewed two people, one who went from the country to the city and one who did the opposite.Janet Lincoln is a salesgirl who moved to St. Louisfive years ago. Here’s what Janet told us:“Five years ago I used to live in a small town called Lemon Falls. I grew up and went to high school there. After I graduated I worked in a supermarket. Lemon Falls had a population of about 800 people, and I knew every single one of them. They all knew everything about me, too. You couldn’t do anything without everyone in town knowing about it. The first chance I got I moved to St. Louis and I love it. I don’t know as many people now as I used to, but that’s OK. I have a few good friends, and I see them when I want to. I kind of like beinganonymous. I’d never go back to Lemon Falls.”Troy Henson had the opposite experience. He and his wife, Darla, and their two children moved from St. Louis to Bloomfield three years ago. Here’s what Troy told us:“The best thing we ever did was get out of St. Louis. Don’t get me wrong; St. Louis is as good a place as any other city, I suppose — if you like cities, that is. We don’t. Both Darla and I grew up in St. Louis. We met at college and got married. Then the kids came along and life got difficult. We didn’t know any of our neighbors. We both had good jobs, but it always seemed like there was never enough money. That all changed when we moved to Bloomfield. I don’t make as much money as I used to, but then we don’t have as many expenses as we did. We know our neighbors. Life is good. We’d never leave Bloomfield.”12. What troubled Janet when she was in Lemon Falls?A. She had no friends.B. There was no privacy.C. There was a lot of competition.D.
