Rejected．B. Recalled．C. Repeated．D. Recognized．10.What do the underlined words "the discipline" in the last paragraph probably refer to？______A. Having many cards to your own name．B. Buying things by card and paying off in time．C. Managing to own more privileges for your card．D. Using a card to buy things as many times as possible．11.What do we know about Cavanagh's cards？______A. Some of them are useless．B. They are safely kept in his long wallet．C. They have brought him fame and privilege．D. Fewer new cards are added to his collections．【答案】【小题1】B 【小题2】A 【小题3】B 【小题4】C【解析】1．B．细节理解题．根据第二段中的"Cavanagh started collecting credit cards in the late 1960s．‘ One of my best friends and I made a silly bet：the guy who could collect more credit cards by the end of the year would win dinner，'he said．"可知，自从跟朋友打赌后，Cavanagh就开始收集信用卡了．结合选项，故选B．2．A．词义猜测题．根据第三段中的"They said he had too much credit．Therefore，so far he hasn't had a Newberry card in his collection．"可知，Cavanagh没Newberry Company的卡，表明他的申请被拒绝了．结合选项，故选A．3．B．词义猜测题．根据最后一段中的"Never use a card to buy anything you can't pay off in a couple of months．"可知，Cavanagh建议人们：如果几个月内无法偿还信用贷款，那最好别用信用卡购物．结合选项，故选B．4．C．推理判断题．根据第一段中的"holds the Guinness World Record for the most credit cards"及倒数第二段中"Despite this privilege"可知，Cavanagh收藏的信用卡给他带来名声并且使他享有一些特权．结合选项，故选C．文章讲述了Walter Cavanagh拥有将近1500张信用卡，信用额度高达170万美元，创下世界纪录．做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据．DStanding on one leg is a simple way to assess someone's risk of suffering a stroke （中风），suggests a new study．Researchers have found struggling to balance on one leg for 20 seconds or longer is linked to an increased risk of small blood vessel （血管）damage in the brain and reduced thinking ability in otherwise healthy people with no symptoms．"Our study found the ability to balance on one leg is an important test for brain health．Individuals showing poor balance on one leg should receive increased attention，as this may indicate an increased risk of brain diseases and cognitive （认知的）decline，" said Dr Tabara，a professor at Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine in Japan．The study，published in the journal Stroke，consisted of 841 women and 546 men，with an average age of 67．To measure onelegged standing time，they stood with their eyes open and raised one leg．The maximum time for keeping the leg raised was 60 seconds．The participants performed the examination twice and the better of the two times was used in the study analysis．The researchers found that the inability to balance on one leg for longer than 20seconds was associated with brain diseases without symptoms．Overall，those with brain diseases were older and had high blood pressure than those who did not have such diseases．Short onelegged standing time was also linked with lower cognitive score．Although previous studies have examined the connection between physical abilities and the risk of stroke，this is among the first studies to closely examine how long a person can stand on one leg as an indication of their overall brain health．Dr Tabara and his team also found a strong link between struggling to stand on one leg and increased age．12.Dr Tabara suggested that one who couldn't stand on one leg for more than 20 seconds______ ．A. try to improve his physical abilitiesB. receive medical treatment for brain diseasesC. be given special attention to prevent accidentsD. be examined for other symptoms of brain diseases13.Which of the following factors might decrease onelegged standing time according to thetext？______a．Heart diseases．b．Cognitive decline．c．High blood pressure．d．The aging process．e．Brain diseases．A. a，b，dB. a，c，dC. b，c，eD. b，d，e14.What can we learn about the study from the fourth paragraph？______A.

Brain Diseases Without Symptoms Require AttentionC. Can't Stand on One Leg？You May Be at Risk of StrokeD. Can't Keep Your Balance？You May Have Brain Damage【答案】【小题1】C 【小题2】D 【小题3】B 【小题4】C【解析】答案：1-4 CDBC1．C 细节理解题．根据第二段可知，研究发现单腿站立时间不超过20秒的人可能有更大的得脑部血管疾病的风险；根据第三段第二句可知，Tabara教授建议单腿站立平衡性差的人应当受到更多的关注，因为这类人患脑部疾病和认知能力下降的风险很大．故选C．2．D．理解推断题．根据倒数第二段Short onelegged standing time was also linked with lower cognitive score．Although previous studies have examined the connection between physical abilities and the risk of stroke，this is among the first studies to closely examine how long a person can stand on one leg as an indication of their overall brain health．单腿站立的时间越短，认知得分越低，尽管先前的研究已经检查了体能和中风的风险之间的联系，这是第一批深入研究单腿站立的时间长短的研究之一，以此作为大脑整体健康状况的指标．倒数第一段Dr Tabara and his team also found a strong link between struggling to stand on one leg and increased age．Tabara 博士和他的研究小组还发现，单腿站立困难与年龄增长之间存在密切联系，因此与认知、大脑健康、年龄有关，故选D．3．B 细节理解题．根据第四段第一句中的consisted of 841 women and 546 men可知，这项研究共有1，387人参与，故选B．4．C 标题概括题．本文主要介绍了一项新的研究发现：通过一个人单腿站立的时间长短，研究人员能够推断出其患中风风险的大小，故选C．一项新研究发现，通过一个人单腿站立的时间长短能够推断出其患中风风险的大小以及认知能力是否下降．考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Americans use many expressions with the word dog．People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well．(1) ．However，dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life．The expression，to lead a dog's life，describes a person who has an unhappy life．Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world．(2) ．They say if a person wants to be successful he has to work like a dog．This means they have to work very，very hard．Such hard work can make people dog-tired．And，the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog．(3) ．This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life．To be successful，people often have to learn new skills．Yet，some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks．They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things．(4) ．People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog．Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want．But mean dogs are often used guard this property．They bark or attack people who try to enter the property．However，sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad．We say his bark is worse than his bite．Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather．The dog days of summer are the hottestdays of the year．A rain in summer may cool the weather．But we do not want it to rain too hard．(5) ．A．We do not want it to rain cats and dogs．B．Still，people say every dog has its day．C．Some people are compared to dogs in bad days．D．There are many other expressions waiting for you to explore．E．Dogs are their best friends and they are loyal to people．F．That means many people are competing for the same things，like good jobs．G．They take their dogs for walks，let them play outside and give them good food and medical care．16.

考查倒装句．上句话提到的情况同样适合下文的人或物，为了避免和上文的内容重复，英语习惯用so，neither/nor引导的倒装句．so引导的倒装句表示肯定，neither/nor 引导的倒装句表示否定，其时态与前一句时态保持一致，上下文陈述的不是同一人或事物．根据文中时态应用一般现在时，且句子主语为第三人称单数形式，用does．10．on

为完整句子，此处用现在分词thinking表主动关系作后置定语，或者在think前加who构成定语从句，先行词为people，在从句作主语，指人用关系代词who，故将think改为thinking或think前加who．2．去掉had．考查动词时态．根据句子结构分析，由one

AWhile beach vacations may be a great way to take your mind off work, lakes surrounded by mountains make for an even grander experience. If you are looking for some peace on your vacation, we have some recommendations for you in the Caucasus(高加索).Lake SevanLake Sevan is situated in the central part of Armenia, in the Gegharkunik province. It is the largest lake in Armenia, located 6,200ft above sea level. Along the lake shore, there are various accommodations such as resorts and hotels with plenty of activities to partake in such as windsurfing, swimming and sunbathing. While there, do not forget to visit one of the famous cultural monuments, the Sevanavank Monastery, and it offers a great view of the lake as well.Lake ParavaniLake Paravani, located at 6,801ft above sea level, is in the south of Georgia, near the Javakheti plateau. At this level, altitude sickness can occur and it is a good idea to be prepared to adapt to it properly, or bring medication for altitude sickness. Being a volcanic lake makes for a more interesting experience. The lake is best known for fishing. Do not come home during the winter months when the lake freezes.Lake CildirLake Cildir is located in the Ardahan province, East Turkey, near the borders of Georgia and Armenia. It is the second largest freshwater lake of Eastern Turkey, and many tourists are notaware of this beautiful attraction. Lake Cildir is surrounded by mountains of the Caucasus. The lake freezes during late November. If the winter is not extremely cold, you can try some lake activities like ice skating and ice fishing.Lake VanLake Van is the must visit of all lakes in this list. The largest lake in Turkey, Lake Van is located on the eastern shore of Turkey and is also the most accessible lake here. It’s situated at 5, 380ft above sea level, and unique to lakes around the world, the water is high in salt content. 1．If you want to visit some historic sites during your travel by a lake, you can go to_______ .A. Lake CildirB. Lake ParvaniC. Lake SevanD. Lake Van2．What is special about Lake Van?A. Its water is high in salt.B. It is a volcanic lake.C. It is globally the largest lake.D. It is surrounded by mountains. 3．What challenge are travelers most likely to face while visiting Lake Paravani?A. Lack of medicine.B. V olcano eruptions.C. Altitude sickness.D. Low temperature all the year. 4．Which destinations would be attractive to a fishing lover?A. Lake Sevan and Lake Pa ravani.B. Lake Pravani and Lake Cildir.C. Lake Cildir and Lake Van.D. Lake Sevan and Lake Van.BIt is commonly believed that all over the world, boys and girls attend a mixed school, where they study together. But boys’schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.Always boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to correspond to(和……相符) the ＂boy code＂of hiding their emotions to be a ＂real man＂.Surprisingly, the findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.George Carl, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when girls do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.But in single-sex schools teach ers can adjust lessons to boys’learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote thestudy’s author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with ＂boy-focused＂approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given ＂hands-on＂lessons where they are allowed to walk around. ＂Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine(女性的) and prefer the modern genre (类型) in which violence and sexism are major themes,＂James wrote.Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel that they had to be ＂masterful and in charge＂in relationships. ＂In mixed schools, boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means,＂the study reported. 5．The writer argues that a single-sex school would __________.A. encourage boys to express their emotions more freelyB. help boys to be more competitive in schoolsC. force boys to be their emotions to be ＂real men＂D. naturally strengthen boys’traditional image of a man6．Traditionally, in a mixed school boys __________.A. behave more responsiblyB. perform relatively betterC. grow up more healthilyD. receive a better education7．In Abigail James’opinion, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is ______.A. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested inB. boys can focus on their lessons without being distractedC. teaching can be adjusted to suiting the characteristics of boysD. teaching can be designed to promote boys’team spirit8．The underlined word ＂acute＂in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ______ .A. lovelyB. seriousC. sharpD. dullC＂BANG!＂the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and me on the other side.We were both in great anger. ＂Never set foot in this house again!＂stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly.A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.But now … I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.I thought to myself: ＂Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me？＂In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.All the lights were off except father’s.Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret.This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.The light was still on. ＂Am I wrong＂I whispered, maybe… With the key in my hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love—it’s second to none.9．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage ?A. The author fully understood why he and his father had different thinking.B. The author and his father lacked communication.C. The author’s father didn’t approve of his stamp collecting.D. The author’s father opened the door for him when he came back.10．According to the author, why did his father often shout at him ?A. Perhaps the father was getting older and older.B. Perhaps the father had been used to doing that.C. Perhaps the son had already grown up.D. Perhaps they never agreed with each other.11．What wa s the author’s attitude towards his father at the end of the story?A. He was frustrated with his father.B. He loved his father.C. He was afraid of his father.D. He was dissatisfied with his father.DScientists are debating how to limit their newly-discovered power to change genetic structure.Scientists already modify the genes of farm animals and agricultural plants to make them more productive or stronger. But now they can also change genes in wild animals and plants. These genes would continue into later generations. For example, it may be possible for scientists to remove from existence the kind of mosquitoes that carry the Zika virus. They might also be able to permanently remove species of plants and animals that are destructive to other species.In a report published last week, the U. S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NAS) said it supports continued research on this kind of gene control. But it warned that it is not possible to know what will happen when these changed plants and animals are released into the wild.Sixteen biologists, ethicists(伦理学家) and policymakers are on an NAS committee that is examining the issue. They say that there is value to the new technology. But, they say, there is not enough evidence to support the release of modified organisms (生物体) from the laboratory into nature.Many people would support stopping mosquitoes and rats from carrying diseases. But scientists say we must understand the possible scientific, ethical, legal and social results of such action before we decide whether to take it. Gene modification is spread through reproduction(繁殖).Changed genes will continue to spread as long as an animal or plant continues to reproduce. They cannot be limited to a farm or kept within a country’s borders. Scientists are wondering what may happen if a modified organism mates with another species. They are not yet sure how the modified genes would affect the other species. It is possible that those genes could harm those creatures or even lead to their disappearance from our planet.12．What possible advantage does gene control in wild animals and plants have?A. Changing the Zika virus permanently.B. Removing the destructive sp ecies for ever.C. Having changed genes in their next generations.D. Making all the species more productive and stronger.13．As for genetically changed wild animals and plants ,what are scientists worried about?A. They may become weaker or die out.B. They may be more productive.C. They may cause damage to their living habitat.D. Their genes may spread to later generations.14．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Scientists are not sure what exact results gene modification leads to.B. Scientists won’t modify any genes before they make the final decision.C. Gene modification has benefited some farm animals and agricultural plants.D. Scientists have not applied gene modification to wild animals and plants in case of possible danger.15．What can be the best title for the passage?A. Stop research on gene controlB. How to change genetic structureC. Power and danger of gene controlD. Advantages of gene control in wild animals and plants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。

the most credit cards ． Mr ． Plastic Fantastic ﹣ a title given to him by Guinness World Records ﹣ is also the proud owner of the world's longest wallet ， which can hold about 800 cards ． But he uses it only to carry a few cards ， while the rest are safely kept in bank safedeposit boxes ．Cavanagh started collecting credit cards in the late 1960s ． "One of my best friends and I made a silly bet ： the guy who could collect the most credit cards by the end of the year would win dinner ，" he said ． " I got 143 cards by the end of the year ， and my friend gathered 138．" After winning that bet ， Cavanagh decided to simply keep going with his unusualcollection ． He got credit cards from gas stations ， airlines ， bars ， and even ice cream stores ．If there's one card missing from Cavanagh's collection ， it's that from the Newberry Company ． They repulsed his application for a card in the early 1970s ， even though he'd collected over 100 by then ． They said he had too much credit ． Therefore ， so far he hasn't had a Newberry card in his collection ．Cavanagh hasn't stopped applying for new cards ﹣ he's held the Guinness Record since 1971 and has no intention of letting go of it ． He copies whole pages from a U ．S ． directory of businesses and keeps sending applications ． If he receives a rejection ， he writes back to the company explaining his goal and ambition ． But he

Can't Keep Your Balance？You May Have Brain Damage【答案】【小题1】C 【小题2】D 【小题3】B 【小题4】C【解析】答案：1-4 CDBC1．C 细节理解题．根据第二段可知，研究发现单腿站立时间不超过20秒的人可能有更大的得脑部血管疾病的风险；根据第三段第二句可知，Tabara教授建议单腿站立平衡性差的人应当受到更多的关注，因为这类人患脑部疾病和认知能力下降的风险很大．故选C．2．D．理解推断题．根据倒数第二段Short onelegged standing time was also linked with lower cognitive score．Although previous studies have examined the connection between physical abilities and the risk of stroke，this is among the first studies to closely examine how long a person can stand on one leg as an indication of their overall brain health．单腿站立的时间越短，认知得分越低，尽管先前的研究已经检查了体能和中风的风险之间的联系，这是第一批深入研究单腿站立的时间长短的研究之一，以此作为大脑整体健康状况的指标．倒数第一段Dr Tabara and his team also found a strong link between struggling to stand on one leg and increased age．Tabara 博士和他的研究小组还发现，单腿站立困难与年龄增长之间存在密切联系，因此与认知、大脑健康、年龄有关，故选D．3．B 细节理解题．根据第四段第一句中的consisted of 841 women and 546 men可知，这项研究共有1，387人参与，故选B．4．C 标题概括题．本文主要介绍了一项新的研究发现：通过一个人单腿站立的时间长短，研究人员能够推断出其患中风风险的大小，故选C．一项新研究发现，通过一个人单腿站立的时间长短能够推断出其患中风风险的大小以及认知能力是否下降．考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Americans use many expressions with the word dog．People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well．(1) ．However，dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life．The expression，to lead a dog's life，describes a person who has an unhappy life．Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world．(2) ．They say if a person wants to be successful he has to work like a dog．This means they have to work very，very hard．Such hard work can make people dog-tired．And，the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog．(3) ．This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life．To be successful，people often have to learn new skills．Yet，some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks．They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things．(4) ．People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog．Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw away things they do not want．But mean dogs are often used guard this property．They bark or attack people who try to enter the property．However，sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad．We say his bark is worse than his bite．Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather．The dog days of summer are the hottestdays of the year．A rain in summer may cool the weather．But we do not want it to rain too hard．(5) ．A．We do not want it to rain cats and dogs．B．Still，people say every dog has its day．C．Some people are compared to dogs in bad days．D．There are many other expressions waiting for you to explore．E．Dogs are their best friends and they are loyal to people．F．That means many people are competing for the same things，like good jobs．G．They take their dogs for walks，let them play outside and give them good food and medical care．16.

G【答案】【小题1】G 【小题2】F 【小题3】B 【小题4】C 【小题5】A 【解析】GFBCA1．G．文章衔接题．根据前文People in the United States love their dogs and treat them well．可知美国的人们爱他们的狗，善待它们．G项：They take their dogs for walks，let them play outside and give them good food and medical care．他们带着狗出去散步，让它们在外面玩耍，给它们提供良好的食物和医疗保健．符合文意，故选G．2．F．语境辨析题．根据前文Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world．可知有些人说我们生活在一个"狗咬狗"的世界里．F项：That means many people are competing for the same things， like good jobs．这意味着许多人都在为同样的事情而竞争，比如好的工作．符合文意，故选F．3．B．联系下文题．根据后文This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life．可知这意味着每个人在一生中都享有一个成功的时期．B项：Still，people say every dog has its day．尽管如此，人们还是说每只狗都有自己的一天．符合文意，故选B．4．C．段落理解题．根据后文People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog．可知不友善或漠不关心的人可以被形容为比垃圾场的狗更卑鄙．C 项：Some people are compared to dogs in bad days．有些人在糟糕的日子里被比作狗．符合文意，故选C．5．A．联系上文题．根据本段首句Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather．可知狗的表情也用来描述天气．A项：We do not want it to rain cats and dogs．我们不希望它下猫狗雨．符合文意，故选A．本文是一篇选句填空，文章主要介绍美国人使用许多带有字的表达方式．就此作者给出了一些与dog有关的英语短语并解释了这些短语的意思以及使用语境．完成七选五阅读时，我们可以从关联词上查找答案．由于英语的句段之间经常会运用关联词表示衔接和过渡，使文章逻辑更清楚和连贯，因此文章中和选项中表示各种逻辑关系的路标性信号词在选择答案时都是很重要的线索．在做题时可将这三个层面的线索很好地结合起来．三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共30.0分）I had not yet had the opportunity to do work experience．Therefore，I was (21) to start it．I was a little nervous(22)，but everybody was so friendly and welcoming that I felt at ease (23)．My first (24)was to help with checking if the website links，telephone numbers and addresses were (25)on the website．I also learned how to construct the weekly newsletter that is(26)each Friday to all registered members．During my work (27)，the staff were always attentive and ready to (28)，which really made me understand how to work (29)at the job I was doing．I also feel that I have become more (30)and confident with learning new skills，being punctual and (31)according to the dress code （着装标准）．I would advise anyone(32)to do work experience to be on time and willing to learn new skills needed for an office (33)．I can also say that although you will initially feel (34)about your first day in work experience，(35) you have become familiar with your job and the staff，you will soon feel a part of the (36)．I have thoroughly (37)my experience and I am very grateful to all the staff for giving me the opportunity to work at their office and for making me feel (38)．In conclusion，I would (39)everybody to undertake work experience-it is an excellent way to (40) skills and experience of a work environment and will make you feel more confident for future careers．21.

cheongsam is a female dress with distinctive Chinese features and enjoys growing (1)（popular）in the international world of high fashion．The name "cheongsam" (2) （mean）simply "long dress" entered the English vocabulary from the dialect of China's Guangdong Province．In other parts of the country including Beijing，however，it (3) （know）as "qipao"，which has a history behind it．After the early Manchu（满族的）rulers came to China，the Manchu women wore (4) （normal）a onepiece dress which came to be called"qipao"．(5) the 1911 Revolution ended the rule of the Qing Dynasty，the female dress survived the political change and，with later improvements，has become the traditional dress for Chinese women．The cheongsam，(6) neck is high，collar closed，fits well the Chinese female figure，and its sleeves may be either short，medium or full (7) （long），depending on seasons or tastes．In addition，it is not too complicated (8) （make）．Nor (9) it need too much material．Another beauty of the cheongsam is that it can be worn either (10) casual or formal occasions．In either case，it creates an impression of simple and quiet charm，elegance and neatness．【答案】【小题1】popularity【小题2】meaning【小题3】is known【小题4】normally【小题5】Although/Though/While【小题6】whose【小题7】length【小题8】to make【小题9】does【小题10】on【解析】1．popularity 考查名词．enjoy是及物动词，后接名词作宾语．故填popularity．2．meaning 考查现在分词．分析句子结构可知此处应用现在分词形式作后置定语，相当于定语从句"which means…"．故填meaning．3．is known，考查被动，主语是it，而且是一般现在时，be known as：作为…被熟知，故填is known．4．normally 考查副词．wear是动词，要用副词形式来修饰动词．故填normally．5．Although/Though/While 考查连词．句意：尽管1911年的辛亥革命结束了清朝的统治，但旗袍在这次政治变革中被保留了下来…．用连词Although/Though/While引导让步状语从句．故填Although/Though/While．6．whose 考查定语从句．分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句，先行词cheongsam在从句中作定语，用关系代词whose．7．length 考查名词．根据句意：（旗袍的）袖子可以是短袖，中袖，也可是长袖．"length"表达表达"长度"之意，故填length．8．to make 考查特殊句型．too…to…句型为"too+形容词或副词+to do…"译为"太…而不能…"，它在形式上是肯定的，但在意义上是否定的，to do 不定式应用主动形式表示被动含义．故填to make．9．does 考查倒装句．上句话提到的情况同样适合下文的人或物，为了避免和上文的内容重复，英语习惯用so，neither/nor引导的倒装句．so引导的倒装句表示肯定，neither/nor 引导的倒装句表示否定，其时态与前一句时态保持一致，上下文陈述的不是同一人或事物．根据文中时态应用一般现在时，且句子主语为第三人称单数形式，用does．10．on 考查介词．表示"在…场合"时，用短语on…occasions．故填介词on．本文主要介绍旗袍．旗袍是独具中国特色的女性服饰，在高端时尚的国际世界中日益流行．上身容易，穿着舒适，旗袍特别适合中国女性的身材．它的好处在于可以使用多种材质，并以不同长度制作，因此在休闲和正式场合都可穿着．对于语法填空这类题，一是懂得分析句子结构，二是知道充当各个句子成分的词类或词性，从语法上确定答案，当然，对于某些固定搭配也要牢记，在平时的学习中要多积累这些词汇或短语，对于句子使用的时态语态也要通过语境进行确定．五、短文改错（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）42.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文．文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处．每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改．增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（︿），并在其下面写出该加的词．删除：把多余的词用斜线（\）划掉．修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词．注意：1．每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；2．只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分．There are many people think that wealth is better than health．I used to think so until one day I had read a story about Howard Joyce．He was an European billionaire who go t everything he wanted． Therefore， in the last twenty years of his life， his health be gan to get worse and he led a miserably life．Although the best doctors called for him， he could still find no relief．I have realized that health is worth all the money in the wo rld．If you have million of dollars but you are at poor health，you will not be able to do what you want to do．So I would like to advise you not to hur t yourself to trying to make money．Instead，take care of your body and be happy with which you do． Health is more important．【答案】There are many people think that wealth is better than health．I used to think so until one day Ihad read a story about Howard Joyce．He was an European billionaire who got everything he wanted．Therefore，in the last twenty years of his life，his health began to get worse and he led a miserably life．Although the best doctors ∧called for him，he could still find no relief．I have realized that health is worth all the money in the world．If you have million of dollars but you are at poor health，you will not be able to do what you want to do．So I would like to advise you not to hurt yourself to trying to make money．Instead，take care of your body and be happy with which you do．Health is more important．1．将think改为thinking或think前加who．考查现在分词或定语从句．根据句子结构分析，There are many people 为完整句子，此处用现在分词thinking表主动关系作后置定语，或者在think前加who构成定语从句，先行词为people，在从句作主语，指人用关系代词who，故将think改为thinking或think前加who．2．去掉had．考查动词时态．根据句子结构分析，由one day可知此处应该用一般过去时，故去掉had．3．将an改为a．考查冠词．根据European单词首字母发音可知是辅音，故此处不定冠词应该用a，故将an改为a．4．将Therefore改为However．考查副词．根据前后句意可知，他是一位欧洲亿万富翁，得到了他想要的一切，但在他生命的最后二十年里，他的健康开始恶化，他过着悲惨的生活．此处表达转折关系，故将Therefore改为However．5．将miserably改为miserable．考查形容词．根据句子结构分析，修饰后面名词life应。

安徽省黄山市天都中学2018年高二英语期末试卷含解析
安徽省黄山市天都中学2018年高二英语期末试卷含解析一、选择题1. For some students, professional training might be the way to go since well-developed skills, ________, can be the difference between having a job and not.A. all other factors are equalB. all other factors to be equalC. all other factors being equalD. if all other factors being equal参考答案：C考查独立主格结构。
句意：对于一小部分学生而言，职业培训也许是一种很好的途径，因为，在其他条件相同的情况下，拥有良好的技能对他们找工作结果的影响是不一样的。
该句是个主从复合句，注意主句的表语the way跟了一个不定式to go，从句由since引导，这个从句的主干结构是skills... can be the difference，其中difference带了一个介词短语between... and...，and后面的not可以补足为not having a job。
其余部分是个单句，横线处无任何连词，故不能成句；all other factors being equal是一个独立主格结构，在本句中作为插入短语，起到限制的作用。
故选C。
2. Obesity is major concern for public health officials and also may affect test scores of students.A. a; /B. a; aC. the; /D. the; the参考答案：A试题分析：考查冠词。
句意：肥胖是公共卫生官员的一个主要关注，也可能影响学生的测试分。

Where is this passage most probably taken from?A. A newspaper.B. A magazine.C. A website.D. A textbook.BMost people say that most people have not more than 30 friends at any given time, and 400 over the whole of their lives. However, on social networking sites, most users have about 150 friends. If these numbers are correct, then friendship means different things in different situations.Also, there are no rules about friendship. There are no instructions about how to make friends, how to keep friendships going, and how to finish friendships if we want to move on. People have very different opinions about this: some people would die for their friends and they value them more than family. Others say that friends are temporary, only there to help each other until they are no longer needed. If people with such different views become friends, this can lead to problems.Because of these different definitions of friendship, it is easy to be unhappy about our friendships. We may want them to be deeper or closer, or we may want to have more friends in our lives. Sometimes we simply do not have the lime to develop our friendships, or we fear we have left it too late in life to start. If we move to another country or city, we have to find ways, to make new friends again.This dissatisfaction shows us how important friendships are for most of us. We should not think that it could be too late to build friendships. We also need to understand that the need to be around other people is one that is shared by many. Therefore, we should not be too frightened about starting to talk to people who in the future may become our friends: it is likely that they too would like to get closer to us. Remember what people say: strangers are friends we have not met yet.25. According to the text, how many friends do the majority of people probably have?A. 400 internet friends in their whole lives.B. .Over 400 friends in their whole lives.C. 30 friends or fewer at a certain stage.D. 150 internet friends at a certain stage.26.

We can learn from the text that most of us ________.A. need to be with othersB. build friendships late in lifeC. are dissatisfied with our friendsD are frightened to talk to people28. What is the author’s attitude towards talking to a stranger?A. UninterestedB. DoubtfulC. PositiveD. CautiousCIt’s true that quite a few most respected scientific authorities have confirme d that the world is becoming hotter and hotter. There’s also strong evidence that humans are contributing to the warming. Countless recent reports have proved the same thing. For instance, a 2010 summary about the climate science by the Royal Society noted that: “The global warming over the last half - century has been caused mainly by human activity.”You may not believe that humans could change the planet’s climate, but the basic science is well understood. Each year, billions of tons of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere because of human activity. As has been known for years, these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible blanket.Of course, the earth’s climate has always been changing due to“natural” factors such as volcanic eruption or changes in solar, or cycles concerning the Earth’s going around the sun. According to the scientific research, however, the warming observed by now matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build-up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere---not the warming we would expect from other possible causes.Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming recorded so far, that would give birth to a difficult question. As Robert He nson puts it: “If some newly discovered factor is to blame for the climate change, then why aren’t carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?”The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths---one with human influence and one without. That obviously isn’t possible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty.29. The text is developed by ________.A. giving typical examplesB. analyzing a theory and arguing itC. comparing and finding differencesD. following the order of space30. Which of the following is not the cause of climate change?A. volcanic eruptionB. cycles concerning the Earth’s going around the sunC. changes in solarD. floods and droughts31. The underline word ‘‘identical” in the last paragraph probably means ________.A. totally differentB. exactly the sameC. extremely importantD. partly independent32. Which of the following can be the best title?A. What’s the Relation of Global Warming and Greenhouse Gases?B. Are All the Scientists Really Scientific?C. Where Is Global Warming Leading Us to?D. Are Humans Definitely Causing Global Warming?DThe old traditional saying about sleeping with one eye open in an unfamiliar place may not be too far off the mark. Over the course of three experiments on 35young and healthy volunteers, researchers in a new study measured brain activity during two continuous nights of sleep.Sasaki and colleagues performed a series of lab tests by stimulating the left and then the right hemisphere（大脑的半球）with sounds. On the second night, there wasn’t any difference in reactions to tests between the left and right hemispheres, even during deep sleep. This suggests that there is a first-night-only effect specifically in one hemisphere of the brain during deep sleep, the authors conclude. The way participants responded to the sleep lab tests points to the potential for the brain to be on high alert for danger during the first night in unfamiliar surroundings. While this may be bad news for business travelers who regularly make brief overnight trips, it may not be as troublesome for people who go away for longer periods of time, Sasaki added by email. “Frequent travel may lead to unrestful sleep,” Sasaki said. “But if you stay for a few days at the same place, your sleep might catch up.”Some birds have been found to actually sleep with one eye open and one side of the brain awake when they’re in a dangerous setting, and some marine mammals have similar abilities, the authors note. But the new study focuses on healthy volunteers but not people with insomnia or other sleep disorders, the authors note.“The clinical implications haven’t been confirmed at the moment,”Finan, a psychiatry （精神医学）and behavioral health researcher said. “However, the level of specificity provided by these analyses could be an important first step in understanding what sleep disorders like insomnia(失眠) arise from, which is thought to be driven in many patients by continuing having a lot of worries.”33. What do the underlined words “may not be too far off the mark” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. May be ridiculous.B. May make sense.C. May cause arguments.D. May be disturbing.34. What can we know from Paragraph 3?A. People are used to waking up and going to bed early when travelling.B. Business travelers usually have a brief sleep at night.C. It takes time for people to adapt themselves to a new environment.D. It brings much trouble to those who stay far away from their homes.35. According to Finan, the study is helpful in ________.A. offering ways to free the patients from the suffering of sleep disordersB. telling the effect of worries on sleep disordersC. comforting as many patients with sleep disorders as possibleD. finding out the root cause of sleep disorders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。
