【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。

句意：1902年至1904年，29世纪西方最伟大的画家，毕加索画了一系列以蓝色为主色调的画。

分析句子可知，the main color was blue为定语从句修饰先行词pictures，从句缺乏状语，故用关系副词where，都相当于in which，故选C。

6.It won’t be long ______ self-driving cars appear on the market.
A. until
B. after

D. before
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查连词。

句意：不久后无人驾驶汽车就会出现在市场上。

本句为句型it is not long before不久后，故选D。

【点睛】It的时间状语句型汇总。

⑴ It + is+ 时间段 + since引导的时间状语从句: 该句型中从句一般用过去时态，句意为“自从以来已多久了”Eg : It is 5 minutes since the bus left. 公汽开走已有5分钟了。

⑵ It + be + 时间段 + before引导的时间状语从句: 该句型中，主句谓语动词be若为肯定式，意为“过多
久才”；若为否定式时，意为“没过多久就”。

Eg : It will be 3 hours before he comes back.要过三个小时
他才会回来。

It was 3 hours before he came back. 过了三个小时他才回来。

⑶ It + be + 时间点 + when引导的时间状语从句。

这个句型中, it 代指时间，表示时间点的词前没有介词。

Eg : It will be Monday when he comes back. 他周一的时候回来.It was Monday when he came back. 他周一
回来的.
⑷ It + is (about/high) time + (th at) sb did/should do sth。

意为“该是某人做…的时候了”， about/high 是用于加强语气，that从句用should或动词一般过去时表虚拟。

亦可转换成 It + is+ time +(for sb )to do sth. Eg : It’s (high/about) time (that) we handed in/should hand in our homework.
⑸ It / This / That +is+ the first(second …) time +that sb has done sth: 意为“这是某人第…次做…”，注意time前有序数词，主句是 is 时，从句要用现在完成时；如果主句用was ，则从句须用过去完成时。

句意：他花了超过十年的时间来研制单人直升飞机，最后他终于成功了。

而spend的用法为sb spend time/money on sth/in doing sth, cost 的用法为sth cost sb money 某物花了某人多少钱，而pay的用法为pay sb money for sth，综述故选C。

【点睛】take、spend、pay、cost用法区别。

spend的主语必须是人，常用于以下结构：
spend time ／money on sth. 在……上花费时间/金钱例：I spent two hours on this maths problem. 这道
数学题花了我两个小时。

C. a light railway lies
D. does a light railway lie
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查部分倒装。

句意：让人啧啧称奇的是一条轻轨穿过这栋大楼。

分析句子可知，表语从句中through the middle of the building为地点状语，位于句首，句子使用部分倒装，故把系动词或者助动词放在主语之前，故选A。

【点睛】部分倒装,即谓语的一部分移到主语之前，常见的部分倒装结构如下：
1．Only＋状语或者状语从句放在句首.如：Only in this way can we improve our English．只有这样,我们才能提高英语水平.
2．含否定意义并修饰全句的词放在句首.如：not, little, hardly, scarcely, no more, no longer, in no way, never, seldom, not only, no sooner等等.如：Seldom do I go to work by bus．我很少乘公共汽车上班. 3. 副词often,短语many a time,或者so修饰形容词或副词、位于句首时.例如：So badly was he injured in the accident that he was sent to the hospital for treatment．在这次事故中他伤得很重,被送进医院治疗.
4. 虚拟条件句省略if时,将were, should或had移到主语之前.如：Should it rain, all the crops would be saved．若是下雨的话,庄稼就都得救了. Hadn't it been for his help, we wouldn't have finished the work in time．若非有他帮忙,我们就不能及时完成工作.

B. should
C. can
D. must
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查情态动词。

句意：克莱尔的车不在这里，因此她肯定去她母亲那里了。

根据前半句Claire's car wasn't there可知，本句讲述过去的事情，因而是对过去的猜测，由于车不在，因此猜测比较肯定，故选D。

【点睛】情态动词must, will, would, ought to, should, can, could, may, might都有表推测的用法，除了can只用于现在或过去时间外，其它各词都可以对过去、现在或将来的情况是否发生，做出语气强弱不同的猜测。

表示肯定的猜测时，各情态动词语气强弱如下：最强——must(一定)、
will (很有可能)、would(很有可能)、ought to(应该，很有可能)、should(应该，很有可能)、
can(可能)、could(可能)、may(可能)、might(可能)。

1.对现在或将来的情况进行猜测，用“情态动词+do”的形式;对现在或将来正在进行的情况进行猜测，用“情态动词+be doing”的形式。

如：①He may/ might come tomorrow.明天他可能会来。

(将来) ②He may/ might know it.他可能知道这事。

(现在) ③He may/ might be waiting for you now.他可能正在等你。

(现在进行)
2. 对过去或已发生的情况进行猜测，用“情态动词+have done”的形式;对过去进行或现在完成进行的情况进行猜测用“情态动词+have been doing”的形式。

(过去) ②He may/ might have arrived in Beijing by now.现在他可能已到达北京了。

(现在完成)

13.It was the first time that I ______ such a strong typhoon.
A. have experienced
B. had experienced
C. experience
D. experienced
【答案】B
【解析】

祈使句，+ and + 陈述句: 在这里祈使句相当于if 引导的条件状语从句（但此时去掉and）。

Give blood ( if you can )and many lives will be saved.
还可以用简短的形式表示，即省略动词。

Give me one more hour, and I’ll get the work finished.（祈使句）==One more hour, and I’ll get the work finished.（名词短语）== If you give me one more hour, I’ll get the work finished.（if条件句）==If I am given one more hour, I’ll get the work finished.== Given one more hour, I’ll get the work finished.第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
请阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项的标号涂黑。

A
Because Skyler and Kreed are speechless teens with autism (自闭症), making friends has n’t always been easy for them. Now that they have each other, their friendship is stronger than what any word could ever describe.
Aside from having autism, 14-year-old Skyler is currently deaf and is losing his sight. He also has no effective means to communicate. Kreed, 17, uses a device to communicate and has multiple medical conditions. Once Kreed learned Skyler was also speechless, their friendship began.
“We were able to explain to Kreed that Skyler is deaf and also speechless like him,” Kreed’s mothe r, Erin Polk, said. “He seemed to understand and ever since then has wanted to be with Skyler and calls him his best friend.”
The best friends, who live down the street from each other, hang out just like typical teenagers. They eat pizza and French fries and watch movies together. They also give each other a helping hand.
“Kreed will help Skyler by leading him to places he is afraid to walk into,” Polk said. “We think his lack of good sight makes it scary for him in new places, so Kreed will always offer his hand to help him through those times.”
For Kreed, his best friend role has given him confidence. According to his mom, being able to help
others helps him as well.
“Skyler has given Kreed more social confidence. By having a friend, he can 100 percent be himself and finally to be able to actually help another peer rather than being the person always helped,” she said.
Even though they're speechless, the teens communicate in their own way by giving certain looks or connecting through touch. Kreed doesn’t m ind if Skyler gets close to him or touches him, which seems to please Skyler. According to Polk's blog, the teens simply want to be around each other.
It's clear that something unites Kreed and Skyler, but it's more than their autism or speechless communication. It's their beautiful friendship --- that clearly has no boundaries.
16. From the passage, we can learn that Skyler and Kreed ______.
A. have something in common
B. are of the same age
C. are unable to see each other
D. have no ability to communicate
17. How does Kreed help Skyler?
A. By taking him where he dare not go alone.
B. By giving him good advice on where to go.
C. By taking him to the places where he used to go.
D. By getting rid of his scare on the way to school.
18. According to his mother, by helping Skyler, Kreed ______.
A. has gained confidence
B. is also benefited
C. is able to communicate better
D. is more outgoing
19. We can infer that in Skyler and Kreed’s culture, it is the custom for people ______.
A. to touch each other a lot in small talk
B. to talk to each other in close distance
C. to avoid eye contact while chatting
D. to keep their distance while chatting
【答案】16. A 17. A 18. B 19. D

Girls do better at school
Around the world, girls do better than boys at school. These are the findings of a recent study that looked at the test results of 1.5 million 15-year-olds in 74 regions across the globe.
The level of gender equality in those regions made no difference to the results. Other causes, such as the income level of the region also had little impact on the findings. In only three regions –Colombia, Costa Rica and the Indian state Himachal Pradesh – was the opposite with boys doing better.
So what are the causes of girls’ stronger performance? In the UK, girls outperform boys in exams that are taken at the age of 15 or 16, called GCSEs(普通中等教育证书). According to education expert Ian Toone, this is down to the way girls and boys are brought up. “Boys are encour aged to be more active from an early age, whereas the restless movements of baby girls are calmed… Hence, girls develop the skill of sitting still for longer periods of time, which is useful for something like studying for GCSEs."
He goes on to say that boys often get together in larger groups than girls. Because of this they are more likely to be influenced by peer(同龄人) pressure and develop a gang mentality (帮派心态). He says that GCSEs require a lot of personal work and are not viewed as 'cool' in a childish culture.
This is backed up by research in the UK that says girls are out-performing boys at the age of five. So what is the answer? Should girls and boys be educated separately? Or do exams and school curricula need to be changed to better reflect boys’ s kills? These are the questions facing educators in many countries.
20. What are the two things that made little or no difference to the results?
A. Gender equality and intelligence.
B. Gender equality and income level.
C. Income level and feelings.
D. Income level and intelligence.
21. According to Ian Toone, girls do better at school than boys because girls ______.
A. study harder
B. are cleverer
C. can sit still longer
D. are more restless
22. What does Ian Toone say can influence boys?
A. Gang mentality.
B. Personal work.
C. Peer pressure.
D. Childish culture.
23. What could be changed to include the skills boys have?
A. Exams and school curricula.
B. Ways of education and evaluation.
C. Outdoor activities and performances.
D. Separate education and different curricula.
【答案】20. B 21. C 22. C 23. A

What will the future be like? Good or bad? A lot of science-fiction writing imagines a world which is dark and scary. In Blade Runner, Harrison Ford hunts robots in a chaotic (混乱的) Los Angeles. Planet
of the Apes shows a hopeless future for humankind.
There's a word to describe the kind of future world which often appears in science fiction: dystopia. It means an imagined place where things are unpleasant or bad. The opposite is utopia. But does tomorrow's world have to be so disappointing?
No. A new project wants to use the power of science fiction to inspire people to create a better future. Project Hieroglyph brings together writers, scientists, engineers and artists to create optimistic stories about things which really could happen in the next 50 years.
It's just a matter of making an effort. Experts say it's easier to create a dystopia than write a feel-good story. There's more conflict in a world full of problems, and stories are interesting when there are a lot of problems to solve. No challenge, no story!
But the project produced a book with some promising plots. One of them is about environmentalists who fight to stop entrepreneurs (创业者) from building the first hotel in Antarctica. Well, there's conflict there and it seems reasonable, so it could be a good story.
But will these stories actually change anything or just keep us entertained? Ed Finn, the book's editor, thinks the former. He says: "A good science-fiction story can be very powerful. It can inspire hundreds, thousands, millions of people to do something that they want to do."
The influence of science fiction can already be seen in modern research, says Professor Braden Allenby. He asks: "Why are people working on, for example, invisibility cloaks (斗篷)? Well, it's Harry Potter, right?"
Time will tell how far we can go. Let's dream big and think outside the box. Who knows the wonderful things we can come up with?
24. The underlined word “utopia” in paragraph 2 most probably means “______’.
A. a real world where people can do anything they like
B. an imagined place where things are unpleasant or bad
C. an imaginary perfect world where everyone is happy
D. a wild and terrible place where no one can live happily
25. Experts say it’s easier to create a dystopia than a feel-good story because ______.
A. a dystopia needs less imagination
B. a feel-good story is more interesting
C. there is no conflict in a feel-good story
D. there are more problems to solve in a dystopia
26. Professor Braden Allenby takes “invisibility cloaks” as an example ______.
A. to cause readers’ attention
B. to amuse science fiction readers
C. to introduce a science fiction story
D. to show the influence of science fiction
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. What is science fiction?
B. Can science fiction help us?
C. What will man do in the future?
D. Shall we live a better life in the future?
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. D 27. B
【解析】

Four out of the 48 self-driving cars on public roads in California have been involved in accidents in the last eight months, according to the state's Department of Motor Vehicles.
The agency began issuing permits for the testing of self-driving vehicles in September 2014.
Three of the four cars belonged to Google, the fourth to parts supplier Delphi.
Both firms denied their vehicles had been at fault.
Under Californian law, details of car accidents remain secret.
However, Google said its driverless cars had never been the cause of an accident and that the majority of "minor fender-benders(擦撞)" had been in the form of rear-end(后尾) collisions from other drivers.
"Safety is our highest priority. Since the start of our programme six years ago, we've driven nearly a million miles automatically, on both freeways and city streets, without causing a single accident," said a spokesperson.
Delphi told the BBC its vehicle was hit while still at a crossroads and was in human driving mode at the time.
"A police report indicates the fault of the accident is with the second vehicle, not Delphi. No-one was hurt in the incident," said a spokesperson.
An unknown source told the Associated Press that two of the accidents occurred while the vehicles were occupied by human drivers, and all four vehicles were going very slowly at the time of the collisions.
Chris Urmson, director of Google's self-driving car programme, wrote in a blog post that there have been 11 accidents involving Google cars since the project began six years ago but not one has been caused by one of its vehicles.
"Rear-end crashes are the most frequent accidents in America, and often there's little the driver in front can do to avoid getting hit," he said.
28. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Self-driving car accidents.
B. Motor vehicle problems.
C. Self-driving vehicle problems.
D. Traffic accidents in California.
29. We can learn from the passage that the self-driving cars ______.
A. caused the accidents when driven by human drivers
B. hit other cars and caused the accidents
C. were responsible for the accidents
D. were knocked into from behind
30. The passage intends to tell us that the self-driving cars ______.
A. are just road killers
B. need to be improved
C. are in good quality
D. shouldn’t be produced
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C
【解析】
本文属于新闻，介绍一场无人驾驶汽车事故，无人伤亡。

【28题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据文章第一段Four out of the 48 self-driving cars on public roads in California have been involved in accidents in the last eight months, according to the state's Department of Motor Vehicles.可知，本文介绍谷歌公司和Delphi公司无人驾驶汽车的事故，故选A。

【29题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第六段However, Google said its driverless cars had never been the cause of an accident and that the majority of "minor fender-benders(擦撞)" had been in the form of rear-end(后尾) collisions from other drivers.可知，该事故是由于后面的车辆撞了前面的车，故选D。

【30题详解】
推理判断题。

根据倒数第二段Chris Urmson, director of Google's self-driving car programme, wrote in a blog post that there have been 11 accidents involving Google cars since the project began six years ago but not one has been caused by one of its vehicles.可知，谷歌无人驾驶汽车在六年间出现的11起事故都不是谷歌汽车的原因，因而可知，作者对无人驾驶汽车的态度还是比较积极的，故选C。

___31___ If you simply sit there and you want it to be beautiful, then it will not be --- you have to create beauty. Beauty is not there like an object or a rock. Beauty has to be created. You have to give a sight to reality, you have to give color to reality, you have to give a song to reality --- then it is beautiful.
So whenever you participate in creating beauty, it is there; whenever you stop creating, it is not. ____32____ Happiness is a creation; so is misery. You get only that which you create, and you never get anything else. That is the whole philosophy of karma: ___33___
Life is just a blank cloth---you can paint a beautiful scene, or you can paint black ghosts (鬼) and dangerous people. _____34_____ You can make a beautiful dream or a bad dream.
Once this is understood, things are very simple. You are the master; it is your responsibility. Ordinarily we think that life has some objective beauty and objective ugliness._____35_____ It gives
you all that is needed: Now do it yourself! It is a do-it-yourself affair.
A. You get only that which you do.
B. What is beauty?
C. If you pour beauty into life, it is beautiful.
D. It's up to you.
E. No! Life is just an opportunity.
F. Life is not what you think it is.
G. Beauty is a creation; so is ugliness.

33. A 34. D
