第一节 语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,共15分)
阅读下列短文,根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词,在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
A
I have been to many places as a news reporter. In India, I visited a city where there were many ___1___ (home) children. Some were as young as four years old. They lived in the streets ___2___ survived by begging or stealing. But then a wonderful lady ___3___ (call) Rosa opened a home for them. Within one year, she was looking after two hundred children. She clothed them, fed them and taught them. She gave them hope.
【答案】1. homeless 2. and 3. called 【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了在印度,一位名叫Rosa的女士为无家可归的孩子们开办了一个避难所。 【1题详解】
考查形容词。根据They lived in the streets ___2___ survived by begging or stealing.可知这里意思是在印度,我访问了一个城市,那里有许多无家可归的孩子。该空表示“无家可归的”,修饰名词children,用形容词,所以填homeless。 【2题详解】
考查连词。句意:他们住在街上,并且靠乞讨或偷窃为生。文中内容是并列关系,所以填and。 【3题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:但后来,一位名叫Rosa的女士为他们开办了一个避难所。a wonderful
1
lady和call之间是被动关系,用过去分词作定语,所以填called。
B
Online shopping ___4___ (welcome) by most people due to various reasons. For the consumers, it can save some time for the people ___5___ don’t have much spare time. Just clicking the mouse, they can get what they want ___6___ staying at home. For the sellers, it can cut some costs for those without enough circulating funds. Compared with the traditional trade mode, they don’t have to spend money in ___7___ (rent) a house.
【答案】4. is welcomed 5. who/that 6. while/ when 7. renting 【解析】
这是一篇议论文。文章介绍了网上购物,无论对于消费者还是商家,都有诸多好处。 【4题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:由于各种各样的原因,网上购物受到大多数人的欢迎。描述主语现在的状态,用一般现在时,“网上购物”和“欢迎”之间是被动关系,用被动语态,所以填is welcomed。 【5题详解】
考查定语从句。___2___ don’t have much spare time.
一个定语从句,先行词是the
people,关系词在从句中作主语,指人,所以填who/that。 【6题详解】
考查连词。句意:只要点击鼠标,他们就可以在家里得到他们想要的东西。文中表示“当……时”,stay是延续性动词,所以填while/ when。 【7题详解】
考查固定句型。句意:与传统的贸易模式相比,他们不需要花钱租房子。spend money in doing sth. 该句型是固定句型,所以填renting。
C
是2
Peter worked ___8___ a night watchman in a small factory. One morning his boss came in with a suitcase. He said to Peter, I’m going to New York tomorrow. See you. Peter said, “Oh, you mustn’t go. The factory owner asked him why. Peter answered that he ___9___ (have) a nightmare the night before. In the dream, he had seen the next day’s plane to New York crash over the Atlantic Ocean. Peter’s boss ___10___ (immediate) cancelled his ticket and stayed in the office. The plane crashed; the boss thanked Peter and gave him a big present. Then he fired him. 【答案】8. as 9. had had 10. immediately 【解析】
这是一篇故事类阅读。文章主要讲了彼得在一家小工厂当守夜人。一天早上,他的老板提着一个手提箱进来了。他对彼得说明天要去纽约。彼得告诉他不能去。厂主问他原因。彼得回答说,昨天晚上,他梦到第二天飞往纽约的飞机在大西洋上空坠毁了。彼得的老板立即取消了他的机票,留在了办公室。飞机失事了,老板谢过彼得,给了他一件大礼物。然后他解雇了他。 【8题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:Peter在一家小工厂当守夜人。work as担任;以…身份而工作,改短于是固定短语,所以填as。 【9题详解】
考查时态。句意:Peter回答说他昨天晚上做了一个恶梦。that he ___2___ (have) a nightmare the night before.是一个宾语从句,主句Peter answered用的是一般过去时,从句要使用相应的过去的时态,表示发生在“过去的过去”,用过去完成时,所以填had had。 【10题详解】
考查副词。句意:Peter的老板立即取消了他的机票,留在了办公室。该空修饰动词cancelled,用副词,所以填immediately。

【点睛】完形填空是高考英语中最难一个题,正确解答完形填空题是考试成功至关重要的保障。完形填空所选的文章都是具有逻辑关系、意义相连的语篇,因此,在行文中不可避免地会出现词语的复现、前后同义或反义、相互照应等现象。所以,解题时应联系上下文寻找相关线索,如某一个词的原词、指代词、同义词、近义词、上义词、下义词和概括词等。完
形填空的解题方法很多,而词汇复现法就是最常见的方法之一。词汇复现包括原词复现、同
义词复现、同根词复现、概括词复现以及结构复现等。本题中的2小题中的volunteered;4小题中的promise等都采用了同义词或原词复现的方法。但由于我们在做题时不可能总是重复地阅读文章,因此,在做完形填空时要培养一种捕捉并记忆相关信息的能力。
第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,40分)
的8
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,共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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I was in the seventh grade, and we had moved to New Jersey in November. By then, everyone already had had their own friends, and no one wanted to talk to a new girl. To make things worse, they put me in “Section L”. I found out later that everyone called Section L “Loserville”. It was sort of an open secret that it was the section for troublemakers and not-so-smart kids. When I found out, I wanted to scream. I had always been a good student and had amazing friends, and now everyone thought I was a loser!
I did text my friends in Illinois almost every night, especially my best friend, Ana. At first my friends wanted to hear all about it. But then some stopped texting back once I said something about how miserable I was. One night when I was texting with Ana, I complained about another friend who had just done that.
Ana’s texts came really fast for the next few minutes and they surprised me. She said that she was tired of hearing about how bad everything was in New Jersey, too. She said she did not want to hurt my feelings but that I needed to stop feeling so sorry for myself all the time, I had to try to make things better.
The next day, I thought a lot about what Ana had said. She was right! I wish I could say that everything changed overnight after that, but it didn’t. I was still stuck in “Loserville”, and some people were still mean to me, even though I tried to just stay out of their way.
But what did change was me—I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making friends. I signed up to make sets for the school play. I met a lot of new people there, and suddenly I had friends to say hi to in the halls!
I still miss Illinois sometimes, but life in New Jersey isn’t so hard anymore. Even though I couldn’t change my situation, I could change my attitude—and that made all the difference.
31. “Loserville” is a section for ________.
9
A. failures C. class secrets
B. good students D. newcomers
32. The writer complained all the time in the new environment because ________. A. Ana didn’t text back to her C. she was unfairly treated
B. her friends hurt her feelings D. she was a good student
33. What made a difference in changing the situation? A. She went back to Illinois. B. She ended friendship with Ana. C. She fought back with her classmates. D. She began to make friends with others.
34. The best title for the passage can be ________. A. Lasting Friendship
C. Say Goodbye to “Loserville” 【答案】31. A 32. C 33. D 34. C 【解析】 【分析】
这是一篇记叙文阅读。文章主要讲了作者在上七年级的时候,搬到了新泽西。在那里的学校,作者被放到了代表“失败者”的“Loserville”区,受到了不公平地对待,作者尽自己最大的努力,想要告别 “Loserville”。 【31题详解】
推理判断题。答案定位在第一段It was sort of an open secret that it was the section for troublemakers and not-so-smart kids.(这是一个公开的秘密,这是一个闹事者和不太聪明的孩子的区域。)和I had always been a good student and had amazing friends, and now everyone thought I was a loser!(一直是个好学生,有很棒的朋友,现在每个人都认为我是个失败者!)由此推断出“Loserville”是一个失败者待着的地方,故选A。 【32题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在第二段But then some stopped texting back once I said something about how miserable I was.(但当我说我有多痛苦时,有些人就不再回我的短信了。)由此可知作者在新环境中一直抱怨,因为她受到不公平的待遇,故选C。 【33题详解】
10
B. An Incidence at School D. Unhappiness in “Loserville”
细节理解题。答案定位在倒数第二段But what did change was me—I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making friends.(但真正改变我的是我自己——我不再为自己感到难过,而是做了一些关于交朋友的事情。)由此可知她开始和别人交朋友,改变了情况,故选D。 【34题详解】
主旨大意题。这篇文章主要讲了作者在上七年级的时候,搬到了新泽西。在那里的学校,作者被放到了代表“失败者”的“Loserville”区,受到了不公平地对待,作者尽自己最大的努力,想要告别 “Loserville”。所以这篇文章最好的题目是《和“Loserville”说再见》,故选C。
【点睛】细节理解题的解题思路:
细节理解题就是我们常见的wh-题,它们大多是根据文章中的具体信息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述等进行提问的。抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键,也是做好其它类型问题的基础。该题型几乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息,或是其变体。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节,做这类题一般采用寻读法,即先读题,然后带着问题快速阅读短文,找出与问题和选项有关的词语或句子,再对相关部分进行分析对比,找出答案。例如小题3,答案定位在倒数第二段But what did change was me—I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making friends.(但真正改变我的是我自己——我不再为自己感到难过,而是做了一些关于交朋友的事情。)由此可知她开始和别人交朋友,改变了情况,故选D。
B
These days everyone is worried about the size of their carbon footprint. In order to reduce global warming, we need to make our carbon footprints smaller. But how much CO are we responsible for?
A new book by Mike Berners-Lee (a leading expert in carbon foot-printing) might be able to help. The Carbon Foot print of Everything looks at the different things we do and buy, and calculates the amount of CO2 they produce, including the ingredients, the electricity, the equipment, the transport and the packaging. And it’s frightening how much carbon dioxide everything produces.
But all of this can help us decide which beer to drink. From Berners-Lee’s
11
calculations, it’s clear that a pint (568 ml) of locally-brewed (酿制的) beer has a smaller carbon footprint than a bottle of imported beer. This is because the imported beer has been transported from far away, and it uses more packaging. The local beer only produces 300 g of CO2-but the imported beer produces 900 g! So, one pint of local beer is better for the environment than three cans of cheap foreign beer from the supermarket.
Berners-Lee has even calculated the carbon footprint of cycling to work. Nothing is more environmentally - friendly than riding a bike, surely? Well, it depends on what you’ve had to eat before. To ride a bike we need energy and for energy we need food. So, if we eat a banana and then ride a kilometer and a half, our footprint is 65 g of CO2. However, if we eat bacon before the bike ride, it’s 200 g. In fact, bananas are good in general because they don’t need packaging. They can be transported by boat and they grow in natural sunlight.
So, does this mean that cycling is bad for the environment? Absolutely not. If you cycle, you don t use your car; and the fewer cars on the road, the fewer traffic jams. And cars in traffic jams produce three times more CO2 than cars travelling at speed. Cycling also makes you healthy and less likely to go to a hospital. And hospitals have very big carbon footprints!
So, maybe it’s time for us all to start making some changes. Pass me a banana and a pint of local beer, please.
35. Which of the followings produces the smallest carbon footprints? A. A pint of local beer. B. A bottle of imported beer.
C. A banana before a 1.5 km bike ride. D. Bacon before a 1.5 km bike ride.
36. According to the article, the author suggests choosing the local food because it is ________. A. more tasty C. better packaged
B. easier to buy D. more energy-saving
37. The purpose of writing this article is to ________.
12
A. promote a new book
B. advertise the imported beer
C. instruct how to measure the carbon footprint D. encourage people to reduce the production of CO2 【答案】35. C 36. D 37. D 【解析】
这是一篇议论文阅读。文章作者鼓励大家采取行动,减少温室气体的排放,并说明了一些具体的做法。 【35题详解】
推理判断题。答案定位在第四段So, if we eat a banana and then ride a kilometer and a half, our footprint is 65 g of CO2. However, if we eat bacon before the bike ride, it’s 200 g. In fact, bananas are good in general because they don’t need packaging. They can be transported by boat and they grow in natural sunlight.(所以,如果我们吃一根香蕉,然后骑一公里半,我们的足迹是65克二氧化碳。然而,如果我们在骑车之前吃培根,那就是200克。事实上,香蕉一般来说是好的,因为它们不需要包装。它们可以乘船运输,生长在自然阳光下。)和第五段So, does this mean that cycling is bad for the environment? Absolutely not.(那么,这是否意味着骑车对环境有害呢?绝对不是。)由此推断出一根香蕉前骑1.5公里自行车,产生的碳足迹最小,故选C。 【36题详解】
推理判断题。答案定位在第三段This is because the imported beer has been transported from far away, and it uses more packaging. The local beer only produces 300 g of CO2-but the imported beer produces 900 g! So, one pint of local beer is better for the environment than three cans of cheap foreign beer from the supermarket.(这是因为进口的啤酒是从很远的地方运来的,所以需要更多的包装。当地的啤酒只生产300克二氧化碳,而进口的啤酒却生产900克!所以,一品脱本地啤酒比超市里三罐便宜的外国啤酒更环保。)由此推断出,作者建议选择当地的食物,因为它更节能,故选D。 【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段So, maybe it’s time for us all to start making some changes. Pass me a banana and a pint of local beer, please.(所以,也许是时候让我们所有人开始做出一些改变了。请递给我一根香蕉和一品脱当地啤酒。)可知文章是鼓励大家采取行
13
动,减少温室气体的排放,故选D。
C
Most adults firmly believe that as kids reach their teens, they start to take crazy risks that get them in trouble. Do teenagers simply love taking all risks much more than adults? A recent study suggests otherwise.
Scientists designed a simple experiment involving 33 teenagers and three other age groups. In the experiment, the researchers tried to distinguish between two very different kinds of risk-taking. The first they called a willingness to take known risks (when the probability of winning is clear) and the second they called a willingness to take unknown risks (when the possibility of success is uncertain).
The study offered participants the opportunity to play two kinds of games. They had the chance to win money, with one game offering a known risk and the other offering an unknown risk. On each round of the game, each participant had to choose between taking a sure $5 and known or unknown risks of winning a lot more. If on one particular round they had picked the $5 for sure choice, then they got $ 5. But if on that round they had chosen to take a risk, the rules of the game will determine whether or not they had won. If they did win, they went home with between $8 and $125. And, of course, if they lost, they went home with nothing.
What the scientists found was really quite surprising. It turned out that the average teenager was very hesitant when risks were known—more careful than college students or parents-aged adults, and about as careful as grandparent-aged adults. This means that when the risks were known, teenagers were not risky in their behavior at all. Only when the risks were unclear did teenagers choose them more often than other groups. Under those kinds of conditions, they were much more willing to take a risk than any other group.
So, what does all of this mean? The research suggests that adults should probably focus more energy on trying to educate teenagers about risks than limiting them. Teenagers who understand the risks associated with a decision are more likely to be careful in their behavior.
14
38. This experiment was carried out by A. dividing the teens into three groups B. comparing the reactions to different risks C. giving equal amount of awards to the participants D. observing the emotional changes of the teenager
39. When facing known risks, teenagers tended to be ________. A. ambits C. anxious
B. cautious D. curious
40. Which group in the study were more likely to take unknown risks? A. Teenagers.
C. Parent-aged adults.
B. College students. D. Grandparent-aged adults.
41. According to the study, parents should focus on ________. A. guaranteeing children to be careful B. setting age limits on dangerous activities C. respecting teens to make their own choices
D. guiding teens to learn more about the effect of risks 【答案】38. B 39. B 40. A 41. D 【解析】
这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章主要讲了研究表明,当面临已知的风险时,青少年往往很谨慎。只有当风险还不清楚时,青少年才会比其他群体更经常地选择它们,所以父母应该集中精力引导青少年更多地了解风险的影响。 【38题详解】
推理判断题。答案定位在第三段On each round of the game, each participant had to choose between taking a sure $5 and known or unknown risks of winning a lot more. If on one particular round they had picked the $5 for sure choice, then they got $ 5. But if on that round they had chosen to take a risk, the rules of the game will determine whether or not they had won. If they did win, they went home with between $8 and $125. And, of course, if they lost, they went home with nothing.(在每一轮游戏中,每个参与者都必须在确定的5美元和已知或未知的赢得更多的风险之间做出选择。如果在一个特定的回合中,他们肯定选择了5美元,那么他们就得到了5美元。但如果
15
他们在这一轮中选择冒险,游戏规则将决定他们是否赢了。如果他们赢了,他们带着8到125美元回家。当然,如果他们输了,他们会一无所有地回家。)由此可知本实验是通过比较对不同风险的反应来进行的,故选B。 【39题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在第四段It turned out that the average teenager was very hesitant when risks were known—more careful than college students or parents-aged adults, and about as careful as grandparent-aged adults.(结果表明,当风险被了解时,一般的青少年都非常犹豫——比大学生或父母更谨慎,和祖父母一样谨慎。)由此可知当面临已知的风险时,青少年往往很谨慎,故选B。 40题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在第四段Only when the risks were unclear did teenagers choose them more often than other groups. Under those kinds of conditions, they were much more willing to take a risk than any other group.(只有当风险还不清楚时,青少年才会比其他群体更经常地选择它们。在这种情况下,他们比其他任何一组人都更愿意冒险。)由此可知,研究中,青少年组更有可能承担未知的风险,故选A。 【41题详解】
【
细节理解题。答案定位在最后一段The research suggests that adults should probably focus more energy on trying to educate teenagers about risks than limiting them. Teenagers who understand the risks associated with a decision are more likely to be careful in their behavior.(研究表明,成年人应该把更多的精力放在教育青少年认识风险上,而不是限制他们。了解决策风险的青少年在行为上更有可能谨慎。)由此可知根据这项研究,父母应该集中精力引导青少年更多地了解风险的影响,故选D。

Shark attacks not only disturb beach activities, but can affect associated tourist industries. Shark nets are a common solution to preventing shark attacks on beaches, but they cause dangers to sea ecosystems.
Seeking a cost-effective way to monitor beach safety over large areas, we have developed a system called Shark Spotter. It combines artificial intelligence (AI), computing power, and drone (无人机) technology to identify and warn lifesavers to
16
sharks near swimmers. The project is a cooperation between the University of Technology Sydney and The Ripper Group, which is pioneering the use of drones—called “Westpac Little Ripper Lifesavers”—in the search and rescue movement in Australia.
SharkSpotter can detect sharks and other potential threats using real-time aerial imagery. The system analyses video from a camera attached to a drone to monitor beaches for sharks, send warnings, and conduct rescues. Developed with techniques known as “deep learning”, the Shark Spotter system receives imagery from the drone camera and attempts to identify all objects in the scene. Once certain objects are detected, they are put into one of 16 categories: shark, whale, dolphin, rays, different types of boats, surfers, and swimmers.
If a shark is detected, Shark Spotter provides both a visual sign on the computer screen and an audible warning to the operator. The operator confirms the warning and sends text messages from the Shark Spotter system to the Surf Life Savers for further action. In an emergency, the drone is equipped with a lifesaving flotation pod (漂浮仓) together with an electronic shark repellent (驱逐装置) that can be dropped into the water in cases where swimmers are in severe trouble, trapped in a rip, or if there are sharks close by.
In January 2018, the Westpac Little Ripper Lifesavers was used to rescue two young swimmers caught in a rip at Lennox Head, NSW. The drone flew down the beach some 800 meters from the lifeguard station, and a lifesaving flotation pod was dropped from the drone. The complete rescue operation took 70 seconds.
We believe Shark Spotter is a win-win for both marine life and beachgoers. This unique technology combines dynamic video image processing AI and advanced drone technology to creatively deal with the global challenge of ensuring safe beaches, protecting environments, and promoting tourism. 42. A Shark Spotter is ________. A. a solution to monitor sharks B. an equipment to identify lifesavers C. a technology to prevent shark attacks
