【详解】考查代词。句意：缺乏信心确实会引起一些问题，事实上比缺乏经验严重得多。A. one指代可数名词单数；B. those那些；C. ones指代可数名词复数；D. that那个。分析句子可知，此处指代前文中出现过的problems，为可数名词复数，所以用ones。故选C项。
A.is offeredB.are offeredC.was offeredD.were offered
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。-你们社区的居民是如何对受灾地区的受害者表示同情的?-给他们提供了一大笔钱和医用口罩。分析句子可知，设空处谓语，根据上下文语境，可知是一般过去时，主语和谓语之间是被动语态，主语是A large sum of money，谓语应用单数形式，故选C。

Years later I made the same point—giving ler credit—in a college French class,and my professor was surprised by my understanding of the ler taught us to enjoy literature with particular points of view.Yet I never made the effort in later years to tell him what he meant to me.ler is certainly long dead.If she is alive,Miss Hammerman would likely be in her 90s.In preparing this article,I tried to find her but was unsuccessful.I am certain my act is common.People often forget to express love and thankfulness to their teachers.I ought to have told Miss Hammerman and ler how much they did for me.I suppose they knew their work was effective because they believed in what they were doing. Now I appreciate how special they were.41.What is the most beneficial part to the author in Miss Hammerman’s class?A.Grammar.B.Writing.C.Speaking.D.Reading.42.What is special about ler’s French class?A.He asked students to count lines.B.He stressed the importance of play.C.He analyzed literature in a new way.D.He showed great devotion to students.43.What does the underlined phrase"my act"in the last paragraph refer to?A.Preparing the article.B.Looking for the teachers.C.Failing to thank teachers.D.Copying teachers’points.44.What best describes the two teachers according to the text?A.Creative.B.Frank.C.Humorous.D.Strict.45.What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?A.To show love for French literature.B.To explore the meaning of education.C.To explain why teachers are important.D.To share memories of the two teachers.CIn spring,chickens start laying again,bringing a welcome source of protein at winter’s end.So it’s no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.Some traditions are simple,like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others promote the egg into a fancy art,like the heavily jewel-covered"eggs"that were favored by the Russians starting in the19th century.One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine.For centuries,Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs.Contemporary artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age:Life is precious,and delicate.Eggs are,too.“There’s something about their delicate nature that appeals to me,”says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast.Several years ago,she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modern characters.“I’ve broken eggs at every stage of the process—from the very beginning to the very,very end.”But there’s an appeal in that weakness.“There’s part of this sickening horror of knowing you’re walking on the edge with this,that I kind of like,knowing that it could all fall apart at any second.”Chast’s designs,such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat,reflect that delicateness.Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears.The complex patterns were believed to offer protection against evil.“There’s an ancient legend that as long as these eggs are made,evil will not take over in the world,”says Joan Brander,a Canadian egg-painter who has been painting eggs for over60 years,having learned the art from her Ukrainian relatives.Although the tradition dates back to300B.C.,the old symbols on the eggs still reflect their good wishes.A decorated egg with a bird on it,given to a young married couple,is a wish for children.A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest.46.Why do people in many cultures prize the egg?A.It is a welcome sign of the coming of spring.B.It is their major source of protein in winter.C.It can easily be made into a work of art.D.It can bring wealth and honor to them.47.What do we learn about the decorated"eggs"in Russia?A.They are shaped like jewel cases.B.They are cherished by the rich.C.They are heavily painted in red.D.They are favored as a form of art.48.Why have contemporary artists continued the egg art tradition?A.Eggs serve as an enduring symbol of new life.B.Eggs have an oval shape appealing to artists.C.Eggs reflect the anxieties of people today.D.Eggs provide a unique surface to paint on.49.Why does Chast enjoy the process of decorating eggs?A.She never knows if the egg will break before the design is completed.B.She can add multiple details to the design to communicate her idea.C.She always derives great pleasure from designing something new.D.She is never sure what the final design will look like until the end.50.What do we learn from the passage about egg-painting?A.The Russians prefer baking red eggs into breads.B.It has a history of over two thousand years.C.It is the most time-honored form of fancy art.D.It is especially favored as a church decoration.DTrees should only be pruned(修剪)when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and, fortunately,the number of such reasons is small.Pruning involves the cutting away ofovergrown and unwanted branches,and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way.First,pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size.The object may be to get a tree of the right height,and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape.Secondly,pruning may be done to make the tree healthier.You may cut diseased or dead wood,or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds.The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air.One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease,but it is a wound that will heal.Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die,so that there is a period when the tree is at risk.It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce that risk of death as far as possible.It is important to make the area,which has been pruned,smooth and clean,for healing will be slowed down by roughness.You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hours and then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose.Pruning is usually done in winter,for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without interference from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts you make will bleed.If this does happen,it is,of course,impossible to paint them properly.51.Why should pruning be done?A.To make the tree grow taller.B.To improve the shape of the tree.C.To get rid of the small branches.D.To make the small branches thicker.52.Trees will become unhealthy if the gardener______.A.gives a tree a special shape and a definite heightB.removes small side branches and makes a tree look less thickC.allows too many branches to grow in the middleD.has a tree surrounded by many other trees53.Why is a special material painted on the tree?A.To prevent disease entering a wound.B.To cover a rough surface.C.To make a wound smooth.D.To help a wound to dry.54.What can be inferred from the passage?A.The author tends to favor pruning frequently.B.It’s easy to find a reason to prune trees.C.Pruning trees properly is not easy.D.Pruned trees will always grow taller.55.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Discussing different methods of pruning.B.Introducing some potential risks of pruning a tree.C.Explaining how trees develop disease.D.Giving practical instructions for pruning a tree.第Ⅱ卷（共35分）第三部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

After being accepted into the competitive Stanford Institutes of Medicine Summer Research Program（SIMR）, and spending approximately 170 hours of the past month studying human embryonic stem cells（hESCs）（人胚胎干细胞），I was back to square on----with only one month of my internship（实习）left. How in the world was I going to make up for lost timeAs I asked myself the question, I thought back to exactly how I had spent those 170 hours working to develop the stem cells. I started my internship a little overwhelmed by the complex equipment in the lab. After I familiarized myself with the equipment, I began to find the function of PRDMI--a gene thought to control replication（复制）in hESCs. First，though，I needed to make a growth medium（培养基）for the hESCs.I painstakingly measured to the ten millionth of a liter，testing the accuracy of each measurement multiple times before finally putting it into the medium solution. After I plated the hESCs on my new medium, I waited with bated breath for the results.To my joy, two days later, my cells were growing very well and even outgrowing their new home. I successfully created hundreds of stable hESCs. Everything seemed to be going so well. But now“Nancy, I know taking the news the fir st time can be hard, but keep in mind, youprobably didn't do anything wrong. You know how sensitive they are. This sort of thing is common when working with stem cells, "the program director said gently. “I know, "I said. “I'm ready to try again. ”Thomas Edison said. “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.41. What do we know about the author from Paragraph 1A. She was seriously ill because of a cell disease.B. Her internship was shortened for some reason.C. Her research result didn't reach her expectation.D. She cried a lot after not accomplishing her goal.42. How long did the author's internship remain when the cells lost their livesA. One month.B. Two months.C. One hundred and seventy hours.D. One year.43. What are the feelings expressed in the underlined sentenceA. Doubt and confusion.B. Relief and relaxation.C. Anxiety and eagerness.D. Sadness and disappointment.44. According to the program director, what is very usual during replication in hESCsA. Efforts made in vain.B. Cells growing too big.C. Researchers getting injured.D. Medium solution incorrectly measured.45. What does the author try to tell us through this storyA. Hard work always brings good luck.B. Stick to hope and never give up.C. Think twice before you act.D. Never miss a mistake.CAs people travelling by air become increasingly aware of their carbon footprint, flying has become not only one of the most polluting industries, but also one with the most potential to turn things around.After Solar Impulse 2 completed the world's first flight by a solar-powered aircraft in 2016, airlines and aircraft producers looked to become the first to provide a commercial plane. Bertrand Piccard, one of the pilots responsible for Solar Impulse 2's journey said, “All the clean technologies we've already had can be used everywhere. We have to use them, not only for the environment, but also because they are profitable and able to create jobs. "The following year saw many projects in the aviation（航空）field as the airline industry acknowledged the future of low-carbon transportation methods. In 2017, Zunum Aero, a small aviation company which focused on delivering a range of hybrid-electric （混合电动的）planes received financial aid from JetBlue and Boeing,whist EasyJet teamed up with Wright Electric to develop battery-powered aircraft and NASA also announced its plans to develop its own electric aircraft.Orkney Islands, lying about 20 miles north of the Scottish mainland, are rich in renewable resources, especially the wind energy. Loganair, a Scottish airline, is cooperating with aviation companies to make Orkney the world's first fully electric airline routes. However, this is never easy. Due to the limited size and weight of a battery that an airplane can carry, airplane producers are faced with abottleneck---the continued power supply for electric airplanes. They believe the abundant wind energy in Orkney could be the key to solving it.The benefits of electric air travel transcend its low-carbon emissions. Aviation experts believe these aircraft's power source will also mean they will be less noisy, smaller, require less maintenance costs, and need a shorter runway to take off and land---this could lead to more airports in small cities and more rural areas being connected to the world at large.46. What did Bertrand want to convey in his wordsA. The future of aircraft pilots.B. The success of Solar Impulse 2.C. The convenience of commercial planes.D. The significance of using renewable energy.47. How did EasyJet carry out the low-carbon transportation methodsA. By asking for financial support from banks.B. By working together with another company.C. By purchasing patents from other countries.D. By improving the technology on its own.48. What will airplane producers probably do to make Orkney's electric airline routesa realityA. Use natural resources to charge airplanes.B. Build more coal-fired power stations.C. Develop shorter airline routes.D. Increase the size of battery.49. What does the underlined word "transcend" in Paragraph 5 probably meanA. Go beyond.B. Rely on.C. Differ from.D. Refer to.50. What's the benefit of electric planes besides its green footprintA. Making plane tickets cheaper.B. Making the flying time shorter.C. Making the world more connected.D. Making the plane maintenance easier.DIndustry and educators all agree that the world needs creativity. There is interest in the field, lots of urging but very little action. Everyone is a bit scared of what to do next. On the question of creativity and imagination, they are mostly uncreative andunimaginative.Educators seek artificial ways to change imaginative activity into problem-solving models that end up compromising the very creativity they celebrate. Creativity is often reduced to problem-solving. To be exact, you need imagination to solve many problems and creativity is part of what it takes. But problem-solving is far from the whole of creativity; and if you only focus creative thinking on problems and solutions, you will fall into a trap.For teaching purposes, problems are an anxious place to cultivate creativity. If you think of anyone coming up with an idea--- a new song, a dance step or a joke, it isn't necessarily about a problem but rather an opportunity for the mind to exercise its independence. This is the purpose behind the theory of scholars now called "Big C Creativity", which is the breakthrough kind of thinking that benefits culture or science, such as Mozart's Alla Turca and Einstein's theory of relativity. But the same is true of everyday" Small C Creativity" that isn't specifically problem-based. Enjoying the independence of the mind is the basis for naturally imaginative activity, like humor or amusing answers.Our contemporary education systematically damages creativity and unintentionally punishes students for exercising their imagination. Schools use grades to evaluate students, which is a passive attack to the imagination.It might be indeed impossible to teach creativity but the least we can do for our students is to make school a safe place for imagination. My viewpoint is that learning outcomes are only good for uncreative study. For education to cultivate creativity and imagination, we need to stop asking students anxiously to follow demonstrable （可论证的）proofs learning which cause a burden to students＇imagination.51. What can be learned from the first paragraphA. Educators are uncreative in teaching.B. The world has lost interest in creativity.C. People fail to do much to become creative.D. Educators have got down to cultivating creative students.52. What's the author's attitude to educators' changing creativity intoproblem-solving mnodelsA. Positive.B. Indifferent.C. Neutral.D. Disapproving.53. Which of the following is a "Big C Creativity"A. Mike finds a way to solve a math problem.B. Tom makes a discovery in the Biology field.C. Darwin answers a question humorously.D. Mary learns to sing a new song.54. According to the author, what can be done to help cultivate students' creativityA. Encouraging students to get rid of fixed rules of learning.B. Helping students to obtain better learning outcomes.C. Starting more classes to teach students creativity.D. Providing students with a safe place to study.55. What can be a suitable title for the textA. Why does the world need creativityB. Why is it impossible to teach creativityC. How can we solve problems more creativelyD. How can educators build better schools for students第II卷（共35分）第三部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：阅读表达（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，按照要求完成阅读任务。
