D由not easy living with them 〔their parents〕〔孩子觉得与父母生活在一起不易〕与difficult to live with teenagers〔父母觉得与十几岁的孩子生活在一起很难〕可知,孩子与父母有相似的〞感受.〔逻辑推断〕2. B由前两句,可知父母之间有矛盾〞,再根据regarding untidiness and daily routinetasks〔关于不整洁和日常事情〕,对照各选项,只有argument〔争吵〕适合.〔逻辑推断〕3. C由前句的untidiness和后面的clothes thrown on the floor可知,房间是messy〔凌乱不堪的〕.〔逻辑推断;也可将untidiness与messy看作是近义复现〕4. B由上文提到的收拾房间之类的事,应是housework〔家务活〕.〔上下义复现〕5. C 由后面的not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping 可知,这里应是dropping the towel in the bathroom , 一起为blame them的原因.〔逻辑推断,或词语同现,受责备的应都是负面的意思〕6. A由下句的However, some approaches提示,可知这里是指不同的父母对待这些问题有不同的方法‘〔原词复现〕7. D从下面的例子可以看出,有的方法比别的方法更能到达预期的目的〔successful〕o〞下文中的do better也有提示作用.〔逻辑推断〕8.

A 由下文中的Communication is a two-way process 可知,此处填communication o事实上,当完成第13空后,就根本上确定此题选 A 了.〔原词复现〕13. D 由but可知,要选与lend an ear to〔=listen to 倾听〕相对的talk.〔词语同现;逻辑推断〕14. B由but可知,要选与understand 〔理解〕相对的scold〔责骂〕.〔词语同现;逻辑推断〕15. C此句是强调结构,是对前两句的总结,一句是说要lend an ear to〔=listen to倾听〕,一句是说要understand 〔倾听〕,所以总结为只有通过倾听和相互理解, 父母与孩子之间的问题才可得到解决〞.〔原词复现〕第二节语法填空〔共10小题;每题1.5分,总分值15分〕阅读下面短文,根据句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求,在空格处填入一个适当的词或者括号中词语的正确形式填空,并将答案填写在做题卡标号为16~25的相应位置上.Last year, my brother and I went to Miami for a vacation.

A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth 〔收费站〕. "I'mpaying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,“ she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, up ahead already paid your fare. 〞It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend ;refrigerator:“Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty. " The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for d ays, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. "I thought it was beautiful, “ she said, explaining why she' d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters,“like a message from above. " Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much pha> tthup onthe classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn ' t k came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days."Here ' s the idea, “ Anne says. " Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly. Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says,“Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.〞The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!31. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?A. She knew the car drivers well.B.

People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver. 答案及解析:31. B细节推断题.第一段说Natalie Smith为其后面的六辆车交费,第二段交等了其中的原因,是她看到的"Practicerandom kindness and senseless acts of beauty 这句话给了她深刻印象,由此推断,她是受这句话的启发, 想给他人施恩〞,应选Bo32. A 细节理解题.由第三段第三句"thought it was beautiful, she said, explaining why she' d taken to writing it at the bottom of all h& letters可知,选A.选项B 文中无信息支持, 无中生有;选项C '决定将其写在仓库墙上〞与文中看到离家很远的一个仓库墙上看到这句话〞意义不同,张冠李戴;虽然文中有她老公将其写在教室的墙上,但并不是她要他写的, 更不是她抄写这句话的目的,与事实不符.33. D细节理解题.此题是问谁想出这句话来的〞,由第四段中的"It was in a restaurantthat Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper 可知, 是Anne Herbert 想出这句话来的. 可用排除法,Natalie Smith 是在朋友的冰霜上看到的, Judy Foreman是在仓库的墙上抄下来的,Alice Johnson是从她女儿那得知的,她女儿是由于Judy Foreman的老公将此句写在教室的墙上而得知的,故不是这三个人想出来的.34. C推断句子意义.推断词、短语或句子意思,需结合上下文去理解.本段中先是Anne Herbert解释她想出的那句话意为:你认为〔生活中或世界上〕应该多一些存在的事,那么你就随意去做这样的事.接说着她想象中的这类事包括给破旧教室粉墙〞在穷人区的厨房里留下热饭〞等善举.那么该段结尾的话善举和暴力一样可以在它们自己的根底上建立起来〞,其真正的含义是什么呢?再看看接下来这一段,特别是第一句随意的善举是可以传播或蔓延〞,可知善举同暴力一样是可以自我繁衍的",应选Co35. B推理判断题.由最后一段的第一和第二句可以推知:受到恩惠的人很可能会施惠于他人,将恩惠传播下去.CLike many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That ' seahenlI about the Lighthouse Project.I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.36. What do we know about the author?A. His university education focused on the theoretical knowledge.B.

However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way --- by studying movements of random floating garbage. A scientist with many years experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heardabout hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States. There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear.Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes - about 60,000 in total - fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn't. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents.The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing〔海滩搜寻〕becausewinds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area. Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year he collected reliable information on 1,600 shoes. With this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their study.As the result of his work, Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves.41. The underlined phrase swap meets in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to.A. fitting roomsB. trading fairsC. business talksD. group meetings42. Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out.A. what caused the shipping accidentB. when and where the shoes went missingC. whether it was all right to use their shoesD. how much they lost in the shipping accident 43. How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption?A. By collecting information from beachcombers.B. By studying the shoes found by beachcomber.C. By searching the web for ocean currents models.D. By researching ocean currents data in the library.44. Ebbesmeyer is most famous for.A. traveling widely the coastal cities of the worldB. making records for any lost objects on the seaC. running a global currents research associationD. phoning about any doubtful objects on the sea45. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A. To call people's attention to ocean pollution.B. To warn people of shipping safety in the ocean.C. To explain a unique way of studying ocean currents.D. To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach.答案及解析:本文是说明文,介绍了一种研究洋流的特别方式.41. B 词义猜想题.由前面的so many shoes和后面的to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear,特别是sell,可知是建立交易市场,应选B.42. C 细节理解题.由第二段二、三、四句"He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn't. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment 可知,选'C.43. A 细节理解题.由第三段第二句Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them (seriousbeachcombers) and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed 及其后几句可知,选A,通过海滩清理者收集信息〞.44.

AReading These4Books Will Change Your LifeWhen Warren Buffett was asked about the secret to his wealth and success,he said that he read every day—500pages,to be precise.Unfortunately,if you’re already working9-5,you might not have the time to read at all,let alone an entire book a day.But what if you could get the benefits of reading without sacrificing all of your free time?You can!With the Blinkist app, you get the key learning from the best nonfiction books in minutes,not hours or days.Our experts transform these books into quick,memorable,easy-to-understand views.Start with the4most-read titles on self-improvement and see if you feel a little more satisfied already.1.Thirteen Things Mentally Strong People Don’t DoBy Amy Morin,12min,Audio availableYou can’t escape misfortune in life.But you can change how you respond to it.Do you struggle to get over your failures?Or considering things out of your control?Getting over these obstacles can have a great influence on your everyday life.Morin shares how her most successful patients overcame these difficulties.2.How to Stop Worrying and Start LivingBy Dale Carnegie,19min,Audio availableHow would you feel if someone told you on Sunday evening that,come Monday morning,you would be thrown into a suffering chamber?Would you worry?Probably.But there would be a way to deal with those worries.Ever wondered why you can’t stop worrying about something?No matter how hard you try,are you fixed on the same issue?By defining the source of your stress,you can get over it once and for all.Carnegie came up with a timeless method that helps you deal with any over-thinking situation.3.How Will You Measure Your Life?By Clayton M.Christensen,James Allworth and Karen Dillon,13min,Audio availableWhat do you think would make you happier at work?Perhaps a little more pay might be nice,or maybe some more admiration from fellow colleagues.Are you making the right trade-offs in life?While career achievements can be satisfying, neglecting your family and friends can be disadvantageous in the long-run-in ways you can’t even imagine.4.Emotional IntelligenceBy Daniel Goleman,16min,Audio availableDo our emotions hold us back?Would we do better if our emotions were removed and we became unfeeling,logical creatures?Did you know if your pulse rate rises above100bpm,you’re deemed too emotional to think rationally?You probably let feelings cloud your judgment more often than you know.Goleman explains how you can avoid letting your emotions rule you and make better decisions in life.21.With the Blinkist app,you can finish which book in the shortest time?A.Thirteen Things Mentally Strong People Don’t DoB.How to Stop Worrying and Start LivingC.How Will You Measure Your Life?D.Emotional Intelligence22.If you feel upset about your work,which author’s work can help you become happier?A.Amy MorinB.Dale CarnegieC.Clayton M.Christensen,James Allworth and Karen DillonD.Daniel Goleman23.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To show how to use the Blinkist app.B.To introduce reading skills.C.To explain the way to succeed.D.To recommend the Blinkist app and4books on it.BI was teaching in a UK school and it was in a very rough area.There was a young girl of11whose parents didn’t have much,but she always looked happy.I recall I was starting to become rather disillusioned with teaching and thought that there were better things I could be doing with my life.One day,close to Christmas,I learned that this little girl had witnessed her father being shot and he died right there in front of her.Her mother came into school and said that because it’s so close to Christmas,she’d like to maintain the girl’s friendship groups and get her to share in the end of term fun with her peers,so she should remain in school.The school helped this happen in a very supportive way.The girl was in my class.We’d got to the end of the activities and we were waiting for the end of class bell.I asked what everyone was getting for Christmas.“A BMX bike,”said one.“My mum’s getting me a Wendy house,”said another.The little girl’s hand went up in a shot and she had a gigantic smile beaming across her face and she said,full of the joys of Christmas,“I’ve asked Santa for a hoola-hoop,”she beamed.I was floored.This is a girl that had lost her father so violently and all she wanted was a hoola-hoop.I was quite amazed that she wanted so little.But then I thought about it.All the others sounded sosure about what they were getting,about what their parents were buying them.It was clear that their belief in Santa had weakened.But it was clear from her answer that her belief was still alive.This got me thinking about my own position.That no matter what you take from a child,their heart is always open to receive.That no matter what Hell has come to them,you can always take them on their own journeys,their own discoveries.

Many people visit the Fringe and the International Festival at the same time,resulting in a large crossing of cultures.Since the International Festival tends to host more mainstream shows,the Fringe has the pleasure of showing the more barely known and amusing displays of human performance.It is definitely worthwhile attending the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.28.What can we know about the Edinburgh Fringe Festival according to the text?A.It shows talent just like the Edinburgh International Festival.B.It allows everyone who wants to register to participate.C.It lasts about24days with three short breaks.D.It is free of charge to perform.29.What can we learn from paragraph3?A.The Fringe Festival was held in companies at first.B.The goal of the Fringe Festival was to recover Europe.C.The Fringe Festival became popular by attracting more performers.D.The Fringe Festival has been popular and successful since1947.30.Why does the Fringe change from place to place?A.To hold the large number of visitors.B.To attract more visitors.C.To become more popular.D.To appeal for more employees.31.What does the passage mainly tell us?A.The origin of the Fringe Festival.B.The introduction to the Fringe Festival.C.The open access policy of the Fringe Festival.D.The future of the Fringe Festival.DRecently,computer scientists have been working on teaching machines to do a wider range of tasks around the house.In anew paper led by MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory(CSAIL)and the University of Toronto, researchers present“VirtualHome,”a system that can stimulate(激发)detailed household tasks and then have artificial “agents”complete them,opening up the possibility of one day teaching robots to do such tasks.The team’s AI agent can complete1,000of these interactions in the Sims-style world,with eight different scenes including a living room,kitchen,dining room,bedroom,and home office.“Describing actions as computer programs has the advantage of providing clear and unambiguous descriptions of all the steps needed to complete a task,”says PhD student Xavier Puig, who was the lead author on the paper.“These programs can instruct a robot or an artificial character,and can also be used as a representation for complex tasks with simpler actions.”The team trained the system using nearly3,000programs of various activities,which are further broken down into subtasks for the computer to understand.A simple task like“making coffee,”for example,would also include the step“seizing a cup.”The researchers presented VirtualHome in a3-D world inspired by the Sims video game.Unlike humans,robots need more explicit instructions to complete easy tasks--they can’t just infer and reason with ease. To better show kinds of tasks to robots,the descriptions for actions needed to be much more detailed.To do so,the team first collected verbal descriptions of household activities,and then translated them into simple code.A program like this might include steps like:walk to the television,switch on the television,walk to the sofa,sit on the sofa,and watch television.Once the programs were created,the team fed them to the VirtualHome3-D simulator(刺激器)to be turned into videos.Then,an artificial agent would complete the tasks defined by the programs,whether it was watching television,placing a pot on the stove,or turning a toaster on and off.The end result is not just a system for training robots to do housework,but also a large database of household tasks described using natural panies like Amazon that are working to develop Alexa-like robotic systems at home could eventually use data like this to train their models to do more complex tasks.In the future,the team hopes to train the robots using actual videos instead of Sims-style simulation videos,which would enable a robot to learn simply by watching a YouTube video.The team is also working on carrying out a reward-learning system in which the agent gets positive feedback when it does tasks correctly.32.What can we know about“VirtualHome”from the first two paragraphs?A.It can do a wider range of tasks.B.It can complete easy tasks.C.It can get artificial“agents”to complete tasks.D.It can complete interactions in the Sims-style world.33.What does the underlined“them”in paragraph4refer to?A.The robots.B.Kinds of tasks.C.The verbal descriptions.D.The explicit instructions.34.What kind of task can be completed by an agent through“VirtualHome”?①Watch TV②Place a pot on the stove③Turn a toaster off④Do some homework⑤Comfort a crying kidA.①②③B.①②③④C.②③④⑤D.①④⑤35.What does the last paragraph intend to tell us?A.The team made great contributions to building robots.B.The team is working on improving the system.C.The end result of the research program is just a system.D.Amazon has developed new robotic systems.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
