2019-2020学年宁波一中高三英语期末考试试题及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AMany workers have had no choice but to adapt to working from home in recent months since offices shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic (新冠疫情). And the noisy situation and endless housework may result in a terrible emotion. A new option is waiting foryou. That is WFH: work from a hotel.Hotel FigueroA special program titled Work Perks aims to reposition some of 94-year-old Hotel Figuero’s 268 rooms as day-use offices.According to Managing Director Connie Wang, the set-up launched in June and is a great opportunity to get out of their houses with high-speed Wi-Fi, unlimited printing privileges and free parking. The 350-square-foot rooms sell for $ 129 per day, with an option to extend to an overnight stay for an additional $ 20.The WytheA boutique hotel in Brooklyn. The hotel recently announced a partnership with co-working office space company Industrious through which it is recycling 13 second-story guest rooms to serve as offices for up to four people.Each of the rooms has a small outdoor platform, and dogs are welcome. Pricing starts at $ 200 and goes up to $ 275, depending on how many people use the space.The SawyerThe Sawyer, in Sacramento, California, is offering pool cabanas (更衣室) for use as outdoor offices, complete with fast Wi-Fi, free parking and catered lunch for $ 150 per day.HotelsByDayYannis Moati founded HotelsByDay back in 2015. That company has grown to include more than 1,500 hotels, and has seen a significant increase in the number of inquiries for day-use bookings lately.Moati said the current situation will force hotels to upgrade themselves to stay alive, and he predicted that offering rooms for day-use only is one of the directions they will go.1.How much should one pay for a 24-hour stay in Hotel Figuero?A.$ 129.B.$ 149.C.$ 150.D.$ 200.2.Which hotel allows pets in?A.The Wythe.B.The Sawyer.C.HotelsByDay.D.Hotel Figuero.3.What do we know about Yannis Moati?A.He started a program titledWork Perks.B.He has upgraded at least 1,500 rooms.C.He usually predicts everything correctly.D.He is optimistic about the WFH trend.BAccording to statistics published by the BPI (Buying Power Index) a couple of months ago, digital streaming (流媒体) now accounts for 80 percent of the music consumption in the UK. Despite the incredible growth of online streaming platforms like iTunes, Apple Music and Tidal over the past 15 years, a more traditional medium has also seen a return of interest and sales in the music industry. In 2020, almost one in five of all albums purchased in the UK is vinyl (黑胶唱片), and it has once again become the most popular physical musical medium.With digital streaming so easy and convenient, why are so many peopledrawn to traditional records? Some experts claim that vinyl is a physical medium for experiencing music, something tangible (有形的) to hold and own. For most people, having something tangible and interacting with it gives depth to the experience of music. Listening to an album and touching it the way the artist intended can make them feel more connected to the music and the artist. Records are physical products that can be not only displayed but also gifted, shared, traded and passed down through generations.Sound quality is another hot topic. A lot of music lovers feel that the analogue sound (模拟声音) vinyl offers is superior to modern digital audio, particularly with regards to the compressed formats streaming platforms use. There’s a common belief that old-school analogue audio has a warmer, fuller sound than digitised music. For vinyl followers, the very defect traditional recorders often have, such as the familiar crackle (劈啪作响) when the record starts, bring the music to life in a different way.There’s aritualisticaspect to vinyl that a lot of people are drawn to, too. The act of putting a record on—carefully removing the record from the sleeve, placing it on the record player and gently dropping the needle on the right groove (凹槽)—is a more assiduous (一丝不苟的), mindful way of engaging with music. When you’re listening to vinyl, you can’t tap abutton and go about your day while the streaming service provides hours of music. You need to stay close to the record player to move the needle and flip the record over.It’s clear that the vinyl interest is well underway, and vinyl records are truly making a comeback. In an increasingly digital society, there’s something to be said for analogue experiences. Perhaps one of the great things about being alive in the 21st century is our ability to have the best of both worlds—the timeless appeal of physical records alongside the easy access to vast music libraries that streaming offers.4. What are the statistics published by the BPI used to show?A. An increase in music consumption.B. The recovery of music industry.C. A comeback of a physical medium.D. The acceptance of online streaming.5. According to some experts, why does vinyl interest many people?A. It attracts people by its realistic feel.B. It offers simple access to different music.C. It shares a new way to enjoy music.D. It provides people with perfect sound effect.6. The underlined word “ritualistic” in Para.4 means something ______.A. Overlooked by society.B. Updated very frequently.C. Performed as part of a ceremony.D. Kept for a long time without changing.7. How does the writer feel about the future development of music medium?A. Traditional records will get underway.B. The analogue experiences may matter more.C. Vinyl sales will boom with technological advance.D. There should be a good mix of old and new.CConcerns about health, animals and the environment are leading more people to remove meat from their diet. Plant-based meat alternatives (替代品) increasingly appear in supermarkets and restaurants. But what some people call clean meat-meat grown from cells in a laboratory—is still an idea that is just beginning.More than 24 companies are testing lab-grown fish, beef and chicken. These businesses hope to enter the alternative meat market, which could be worth $140 billion by 2029. One of the companies, Shiok Meats, growsits product by taking shrimp cells and keeping them at a fixed temperature. They are then given nutrients in a solution (溶液). The cells become meat in four to six weeks.This lab-grown meat’s price is high. One kilogram of it now costs $5,000, said Shiok Meats’ chief executive Sandhya Sriram. At that cost, a single pork and shrimp dumpling could be as much as $300. Sriram, avegetarian, hopes to cut the cost to $50 for one kilogram by the end of this year. “We are looking at next year, so we might be the first ever company to launch a cell-based meat product in the world,” Sriram said. “Shiok Meats still needs approval from the city’s food regulator, and that matters the most at present.”Although people increasingly demand meat alternatives, cell-based meat companies still faceresistance(抵制) to their products. In Singapore, some people said they would give lab grown meat a second thought. “I may not exactly dare to eat it, but I do find the idea appealing because the animals in the oceans are declining,” said 60-year-old Pet Loh, while sheshopped for shrimps in a Singapore market.Any alternative way of making animal protein without harming the environment is positive, said Paul Teng, a specialist in agriculture technology at Nanyang Technological University. But, he added, more studies are needed to understand any negative result of making cellular protein.8. Why are more people eating less meat?A. Because lab-grown meat has more nutrition.B. Because plant-based food is getting popular.C. Because meat in the market is increasingly expensive.D. Because health and the environment are their concerns.9. What is the most important for Shiok Meats at present according to Sriram?A. Bringing down the price.B. Gaining consumers’ acceptance.C. Obtaining official permission.D. Getting ahead of other companies.10. Which word best describes Pet Loh’s attitude towards lab-grown meat?A. Doubtful.B. Uncaring.C. Negative.D. Positive.11. What is the text mainly about?A. A new way to make a fortune.B. Negative results of lab-grown meat.C. New research findings on healthy diet.D. A meat alternative grown in labs.DAs I work in theLarkwhistle Garden in Dyer's Bay, Ontario, I take my time and the garden is teaching me aboutworking with the earth. I recognize that there will be both successes and failures and there are many variables(变量)that affect them both.The quality of the seeds planted has a bearing on how the plants will grow. The weather can be too hot, too cold, or exactly right, and usually varies between all three. Weeds seem to grow in the garden and need to be taken care of, pulled, and removed to ensure they do not eat into the fruits, vegetables, and flowers we have so lovingly planted.I take time to stand back and rest, and to observe the plants and how they are growing. Each plant is unique and develops in the way that is best for them. Some have large broad leaves to shadow their fruit from the severe rays of the sun, while other plants are more open, their fruit needing the light to grow and ripen.Getting my hands dirty, feeling the sweat on my forehead, and the strength and flexibility of my body as I dig, bend and work under the warm summer sun, reminds me I am alive in ways I would not have remembered sitting on the couch.It is attractive to move things around, to transplant, and to disturb the natural order of how plants grow. The garden teaches me that it is important to know when to disturb things and when to let them be. The garden's life cycle follows a pattern that is repeated according to laws of nature, birth, growth, and then dies and it teaches us to accept this fact.12. How many variables may affect the growth of plants in the garden?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.13. What can we learn about the author?A. He feels exhausted while gardening.B. He enjoys life from working practice.C. He takes pleasure in harvesting fruits.D. He dreams away his time in the garden.14. How is the garden tended by the author?A. Its rank grass is got rid of.B. Its plants are left to grow freely.C. Its temperature is controlled properly.D. Its plants with large broad leaves are cut off.15. What fact does the author learn from gardening?A. Life takes its course.B. Hard work benefits health.C. Time is short and precious.D. Gardening brings good harvest.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2020年宁波一中高三英语上学期期末考试试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项ATheBest Placeto Camp in Each StateWashington-SecondBeach, Olympic National ParkCampers put up their tents right on the sand of thisPacific Northwestbeach. Make a campfire, photograph sunset over the sea and try to absorb this charming spot with your entire being.Alaska-Bartlett Cove Campground, Glacier (冰川) Bay National ParkIn a state full of natural riches,Glacier Bayis a wonder, home to high peaks, whales, 700 miles of coastline, and light blue glaciers that flow directly into the sea. Set within temperate rainforest along Bartlett Cove, the park's only campground is impressively green and an easy jumping-off point for boat tours.Arizona-Havasupai Campground, Havasupai ReservationGetting to Havasupai is a challenge. Permits are snatched (剥夺) up almost instantly, and even if you get one it's a 10-mile hike from the border to reach this rural campground that hugs Havasu Creek. Make the journey, however, and you're rewarded with a series of great waterfalls and natural pools.Arkansas-BuffaloNationalRiverAmerica's first national river travels 135 miles through the Ozark Mountains, winding its way over rapids, forming peaceful pools and passing rocky cliffs topped by green forest. Plan a float trip and absorb the scenery ata leisurely pace, pausing for hikes to visitLostValley's caves or the 200-foot waterfalls.1.Which state may attract people preferring glaciers?A.Alaska.B.Washington.C.Arizona.D.Arkansas.2.What makesArizonaa popular camp choice among tourists?A.The blue glaciers and green rainforests.B.The winding national river and cliffs.C.The soaring peaks and long coastline.D.The beautiful waterfalls and pools.3.What can you do when camping inArkansas?A.Take a long trip on foot.B.Visit caves and waterfalls.C.Put up a well-equipped tent.D.Enjoy a view of sunset.BWhat will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question，you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-­technology（生物技术）. With the help of new medicine，the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents，murder and war. Today’s leading killers，such as heart disease，cancer，and aging itself，will become distant memories.In discussion of technological changes，the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells（细胞）are the basic units of all living things，and until recently，scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells，such as those of brain cells，would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100，medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so，people will beable to take medicine to repair their organs（器官）. The medicine，made up of the basic building materials of life，will build new brain cells，heart cells，and so on－in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence，but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.4. According to the passage，human death is now mainly caused by ________.A. diseases and agingB. accidents and warC. accidents and agingD. heart disease and war5. In the author’s opinion，today’s most important advance in technology lies in（在于）________.A. the InternetB. medicineC. brain cellsD. human organs6. Humans may live longer in the future because ________.A. heart disease will be far away from usB. human brains can decide the final deathC. the basic materials of cells will last foreverD. human organs can be repaired by new medicine7. How long can humans live in the future according to the passage?A. Over 100 years.B. More than 120 years.C. About 150 years.D. The passage doesn’t tell us.C“They’re harming your brain.” “They’re ruining your eyes.” “They’re turning you into a violent person.” The words said publicly against video games are so common, but are these worries founded on actual science? Countless studies have offered different opinions on whether video games are bad for you. We’ve rounded up the most notable reports and studies below, so you can weigh up the evidence for yourself.In 2013,psychologist(心理学家) Simone Kuhn studied the influences of spending long hours on video games on the brains of young adults and found that several areas became bigger than before. These areas are connected with highercognitive functions(认知功能), memory formation andfinemotor(精细运动) function.Last year, psychologists said that video game players who favour violent games are more likely to be violent when offline. Dr. Mark Appelbaum of the American Psychological Association said that there was a relation between violent video game use and increases in violent behaviour.Dr. Daphne Bavelier is an expert in the field of Brain & Cognitive Sciences. Bavelier presented the audience with a colour-word test, where non-gamers are easily puzzled by the test, and those who spend long periods playing on their computers are more likely to pass the test with flying colours.“Actually, those video game players have many other advantages in terms of attention,” said Bavelier, “and one part of attention which is also improved for the better is our ability to follow the movements of objects.”“So, in a sense, when we think about the influence of video games on the brain, it’s very similar to the influence of wine on the health. There are some very poor uses of wine. There are some very poor uses of video games. But when drunk in reasonable amounts, and at the right age, wine can be very good for health,” said Bavelier.8. What can be learned from Simone Kuhn’s study？A. Video games make you happier.B. Video games make your brain grow.C. Video games play a key role in memory.D. Video games teach you how to learn fast.9. What was Dr. Mark Appelbaum’s attitude towards video games？A. He was against them.B. He was hopeful of them.C.He was in favour of them.D. He was uncertain about them.10. Which of the following may Dr. Daphne Bavelier agree with？A. Video games fix attention problems.B. Video games make kids do well in exams.C. Video games encourage violent behaviour.D. Video games help increase colour knowledge.11. Why are the uses of wine mentioned in the last paragraph？A. To remind people to avoid video games.B. To show the disadvantages of video games.C. To help people learn more about video games.D.To ask people to make good use of video games.DOwning a dog is associated with a significantly lower risk of heart disease and death, according to a comprehensive new study published by a team of Swedish researchers on Friday in the journal Scientific Reports.The scientists followed 3.4 million people over the course of 12 years and found that adults who lived alone and owned a dog were 33 percent less likely to die during the study than adults who lived alone without dogs. In addition, the single adults with dogs were 36 percent less likely to die from heart disease.“Dog ownership was especiallyprominentas a protective factor in persons living alone, which is a group reported previously to be at higher risk of heart disease and death than those living in a multi-person household,” Mwenya Mubanga, a Ph.D. student at Uppsala University in Uppsala, Sweden, and the lead junior author of the study, said in a statement announcing its findings. The link between dog ownership and lower mortality(死亡率)was less pronounced in adults who lived either with family members or partners, but still present, according to the study. “Perhaps a dog may stand in as an important family member in the single households,” Mubanga added. “Another interesting findingwas that owners of dogs which were intended originally for hunting were most protected.”The study, which is the largest to date on the health relations of owning a dog, suggested that some of the reasons dog owners may have a lower risk of mortality and heart disease were because dog owners walk more. “These kind of epidemiological (流行病学的)studies look for associations in large populations but do not provide answers on whether and how dogs could protect their owners from heart disease,” Tove Fall, a senior author of the study and a professor at Uppsala University, said in a statement“We know that dog owners in general have a higher level of physical activity, which could be one explanationto the observed results,” Fall added. “Other explanations include an increased well-being and social contacts or effects of the dog on the bacterial microbiome(微生物菌群) in the owner.” Fall added that because all participants of dog owners in Sweden or other “European populations with similar culture regarding dog ownership.”12. Why did the researchers do the study related to 3.4 million people’s health and the dogs?A. To help Europeans,B. To find their association.C. To protect unhealthy adults.D. To reduce risk of heart disease.13. What does the underlined word “prominent” probably mean in Para.3?A. Universal.B. Confusing.C. Appealing.D. Important14. What’s the main idea of the text?A. Adults living with dogs are less likely to die.B. Swedish people are very fond of animal pets.C. Keeping a dog is a popular and healthy hobby.D. Owning dogs reduces the risk of heart disease.15. What’s the writer’s attitude towards owning a dog?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Objective.D. Contradictory.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

高三（上）期末英语试卷一、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，共25.0分）AMany high school students consider a college education useless．Therefore，they choose not to go to college．If you're one of them，think again．Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there．Schools and universities are the first sources of knowledge．We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation．More knowledge will be gained after you start working，but without an education，that job will not be within easy reach．Knowledge leads to knowledge．While limited within the walls of the educational institutions，we openly explore other cultures of the world．We come to know that ours is not the only culture．Other cultures have valuable insights to share，enriching our own．Education also makes us want to travel and interact with various cultures，broadening our horizons．When there's a downturn（衰退）in the economy，those who attended college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finished grade school and have a limited skills set．The more education you have，the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary．When you're skilful and knowledgeable，you get to "rub knees" with people of similar backgrounds and tastes．It means a good education leads to excellent networking．Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life．A good education makes you a more interesting person．You can talk about ideas and events instead of just other people and what's on sale in stores．An educated person doesn't gossip，having a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say．1.What is the text mainly about？______A. Sources of knowledge．B. Benefits of attending college．C. The disadvantages of not being educated．D. The reason why some people think college useless．2.How does the writer develop the passage？______A. By giving examples．B. By listing reasons．C. By following directions．D. By offering suggestions．3.Which of the following are not mentioned by the writer about going to college？______A. Gaining more knowledge．B. Enlarging social networks．C. Becoming a humorous person．D. Experiencing diverse cultures．BFrom a child I was fond of reading，and all the little money that came into my hands was ever laid out in books．Pleased with the Pilgrim's Progress，my first collection was of John Bunyan's works，in separate little volumes．I afterwards sold them to enable me to buyR．Burton's Historical Collections；they were small chapmen's books and cheap，40 or 50 in all．My father's little library consisted chiefly of books in religion，most of which I read，and have since often regretted that，at a time when I had such a thirst for knowledge；more proper books had not fallen in my way，since I realized that I should not be a clergyman（牧师）．Plutarch's Lives there was，in which I read abundantly，and I still think that time spent to great advantage．There was also a book of Defoe's，called An Essay on Projects，and another of Dr．Mather's called Essays to Do Good which perhaps gave me a turn of thinking that had an influence on some of the principal future events of my life．This bookish preference at length determined my father to make me a printer，though he had already one son （James）of that profession．In 1717，my brother James returned from England with a press and letters to set up his business in Boston．I liked it much better than that of my father，but still have a thirst for the sea．To prevent the concerned effect of such a desire，my father was impatient to have me bound to my brother．I stood out some time but at last was persuaded，and signed the contract，when I was yet but 12years old.. I was to serve as an apprentice（学徒）till I was 2l years of age，only I was to be allowed journeyman's wages during the last year．In a little time I made great proficiency in the business，and became a useful hand to my brother．．I now had access to better books．An acquaintance with the apprentices of booksellers，enabled me sometimes to borrow a small one，which I was careful to return soon and clean．Often I sat up in my room reading the greatest part of the night，when the book was borrowed in the evening and to be returned early in the morning，in case it should be missed or wanted．And after some time an imaginative tradesman Mr．Matthew Adams who had a pretty collection of books and who visited our printing house frequently took notice of me，invited me to his library，and very kindly lent me such books as I choose to read．--From Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin4.Which of the following does NOT contribute to the author's change of thought？______A. Pilgrim's ProgressB. Plutarch's LivesC. An Essay on ProjectsD. Essays to Do Good5.What was the reason that his father made him a printer？______A. His father thought he had a gift for painting．B. He liked the printing business better than any other things．C. His brother，as a printer，promised to take good care of him．D. His father worried that his longing for sea might affect his future．6.What does the underlined sentence "I now had access to better books．" in Paragraph 3mean______A. My desire for books was completely satisfied．B. I could afford the books that I really preferred．C. My spare time was mostly occupied with readingD. I could read more books which I was interested in．CYou know the feeling -you have left your phone at home and feel anxious，as if you have lost your connection to the world．"Nomophobia"（无手机恐惧症）affects teenagers and adults alike．You can even do an online test to see if you have it．Last week，researchers from Hong Kong warned that nomophobia is infecting everyone．Their study found that people who use their phones to store，share and access personal memories suffer most．When users were asked to describe how they felt about their phones，words such as "hurt" （neck pain was often reported）and "alone"predicted higher levels of nomophobia．"The findings of our study suggest that users regard smartphones as their extended selves and get attached to the devices，" said Dr．Kim Ki Joon．"People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness when separated from their phones．" Meanwhile，an American study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure．So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety Professor Mark Griffiths，psychologist and director of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University，says it is what is on the phone that counts -the social networking that creates Fomo （fear of missing out）．"We are talking about an internet-connected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives，" says Griffiths．"You would have to surgically remove a phone from a teenager because their whole life is ingrained in this device．"Griffiths thinks attachment theory，where we develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds details of our lives，is a small part of nomophobia．For "screenagers"，it is Fomo that creates the most separation anxiety．If they can't see what's happening on Snapchat or Instagram，they become panic-stricken about not knowing what's going on socially．"But they adapt very quickly if you take them on holiday and there's no internet，" says Griffiths．7.Which of the following may Dr．Kim Ki Joon agree with？______A. We waste too much time on phones．B. Phones have become part of some users．C. Addiction to phones makes memories suffer．D. Phones and blood pressure are closely linked．8.According to Griffiths，we get nomophobia because ______ ．A. we are accustomed to having a phone on usB. we need our phones to help us store informationC. we worry we may miss out what our friends are doingD. we fear without phones we will run into a lot of trouble9.Which of the following phrase has the closest meaning to the underlined phrase "ingrainedin" in Paragraph 4______A. relied onB. opposed toC. approved ofD. determined by10.Where can you probably find the above passage？______A. In a research report．B. In a fashion brochure．C. In a science textbook．D.

moment．句意是她在那一刻带着更多的信任看着路过的人们，故选B．作者在逛街的时候看到了一位穿着邋遢身体残疾的女士在商店外面，作者给了她10美元让她买点吃的，告诉我们小的善良的行为也会起到巨大的作用．完型填空题的命题趋势解题步骤：1．通读全文，理解大意．重视首句信息，跳过空格，浏览全文，从整体上感知全文，理解文章大意，这是解题的基础．2．瞻前顾后，避难就易．在理解文章大意的情况下，结合各选项的意义和用法，遵循先易后难的原则，先解决那些自己有把握的问题．对少数难题，暂时跳过，或许在上文中难以判断的题在下文中就有暗示或者明显的提示，或许一个在前面不能解答的题在填出了另一空后会令你豁然开朗．3．复读全文，解决残敌．借助已经补全的空格，对全文有了更清楚的理解，可以集中解决所遗留的少数疑难问题．4．再次复读，弥补疏漏，全部做好后，务必要结合自己选择的答案重新阅读短文内容，确保全文文意连贯．36.【答案】accepted【解析】56．accepted．考查过去分词．That games 和accept是被动关系，用过去分词．57．a．考查冠词．泛指"一个可喜的突破"用不定冠词，welcome是辅音音素开头的单词．故填a．58．to．考查介词．turn to为固定短语，意为"求助于"．59．where．考查定语从句．先行词an active atmosphere ，表示抽象的地点，定语从句中不缺主宾表，缺少地点状语，用where引导定语从句．60．Games．考查名词复数．game是可数名词，因为谓语用 increase ，主语是复数．61．is known．考查被动语态．as引导非限制性定语从句，指代主句内容，主句内容和know是被动关系，用is known．62．stronger．考查形容词比较级．使用the+比较级；the+比较级的句型．63．since/because/as．考查连词．句意：游戏之所以具有激励作用，是因为它们既有趣又具有挑战性．表示因果关系，用since/because/as．64．absorbed．考查词性转换．和motivated 并列作表语用absorbed专注的．65．consciously．考查副词．修饰动词use用副词．文章介绍语言学习是枯燥的，但是可以通过教学游戏来学习，很多老师采取这样的方法，这样可以让学习语言增加趣味性．本题主要考查了用单词或短语的适当形式填空．做本题的关键是在理解短文的基础上，灵活运用所学的基础知识．本题考到的知识点有：固定的短语，词类的转换，名词的复数形式，副词以及祈使句的用法等．因此，这就需要在平时的学习中，牢固掌握各语言点及一些语法知识．37.【答案】We

that Oakfield House was filled with artwork worth millions of dollars．It was clear to Frank that the family inside was in danger．Would the man have a weapon Would he be strong enough to overpower him before he could harm the people inside？Frank's heart was racing with fear．He reached for his cellphone to call the police，but found it out of power．If only he had charged his phone before leaving the office，but it was too late．【解析】Paragraph 1：Now Frank knew what the man wanted to do．Everyone knew that Oakfield House was filled with artwork worth millions of dollars．It was clear to Frank that the family inside was in danger．Would the man have a weapon？Would he be strong enough to overpower him before he could harm the people inside Frank's heart was racing with fear．He reached for his cellphone to call the police，but found it out of power．If only he had charged his phone before leaving the office，but it was too late．（高分句型一）（关于Frank知道了这个人的目的之后的思考和打算）Paragraph 2：Frank couldn't just stand in the dark and wait．He had to do something，even if it meant risking his own life．At his feet he silently found several good-sized stones，and he threw them with all his strength right at the windows of the house．The clatter woke up the people inside the house and a light came on upstairs．The man froze，not quite knowing what had just happened．（高分句型二）Lights came on everywhere in the house and within a minute the night was filled with the sounds of police sirens screaming toward Oakfield House．（关于Frank采取的措施）高分句型一．If only he had charged his phone before leaving the office，but itwas too late．句中if only要是……就好了，句子使用虚拟语气要是他在离开办公室之前给他打过电话就好了，但已经太迟了．高分句型二．The man froze，not quite knowing what had just happened．句中not quite knowing what had just happened为现在分词短语作状语那人愣住了，不知道刚才发生了什么事．英语写作是一项主观性较强的测试题．它不仅考查学生的写作基础而且还考查学生在写作过程中综合运用语言的能力．在撰写时要注意主谓语一致，时态呼应，用词贴切等．要提高英语写作水平，需要两方面的训练：一是语言基础方面的训练，要有扎实的造句、翻译等基本功，即用词法、句法等知识造出正确无误的句子；二是写作知识和能力方面的训练以掌握写作方面的基本方法和技巧．。
