1．阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

Yellow Robot deliver snacks to your home
A robot makes its way back to a supermarket after making a delivery during a demonstration in Beijing.
Along a street on the outer edges of Beijing, a yellow and black cube about the size of a small washing machine moves leisurely to its destination. This “little yellow horse” is a delivery robot, transporting daily essentials like drinks, fruit and snacks from the local store to the residents. Equipped with GPS system, cameras and radar, the robot is seen by its creator as the future of logistics(物流) in China.
“The weak point is that it can't deliver directly to the door like a human.” said one customer, who does not live on the ground floor. “But it is still quite p ractical. The robot delivers relatively quickly.”
The robot takes off for Chinese customers' love of cashless payments and smartphone shopping. China is the world's biggest online shopping market with more than half of its population making at least one smartphone purchase per month, according to professional services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers. Whether buying electronics, toilet paper or clothes, Chinese customers are used to simply tapping a button on their smartphone and getting a home delivery.
To get a delivery via the “little yellow horse”, customers select the desired products, tap in the address and pay via their phone. Then, the supermarket staff place the items in the robot.
Liu Zhiyong, founder and CEO of Zhen Robotics, which manufactures the robot, sees a bright future for his creation. “At the moment, there are 100 million packages delivered every day in China. It will be one billion in the future,” Liu said. “ There will not be enough humans to make the deliveries. We need more and more robots to fill this gap and reduce costs.” These costs are especially high in the last kilometer of a delivery.
（1）What is the yellow robot equipped with? (no more than 8 words)
（2）What is the weak point of the yellow robot? (no more than 12 words)
（3）Why is the robot popular with Chinese people? (no more than 12 words)
（4）What does the underlined word “manufactures” mean in the passage? (no more than 1 words)
（5）What do you think of the invention of the yellow robot? Why? (no more than 20words) 【答案】（1）GPS system, cameras and radar.
（2）It can't deliver directly to the door like a human.
（3）Because of Chinese customers' love of cashless payments and smartphone shopping./Because Chinese customers love cashless payments and smartphone shopping.
（4）Invents; Creates; Produces;（形式不对减一分）
（5）It is very helpful. Because the robot can replace humans to make the delivers and the robot can reduce costs.
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了黄色的快递机器人以及它的市场前景。

（1）考查信息提升能力。

根据第二段中的“Equipped with GPS system, camer as and radar, the robot is seen by its creator as the future of logistics(物流) in China.”可知黄色的机器人装备有GPS系统，摄像头和雷达，所以填GPS system, cameras and radar。

（2）考查信息提升能力。

根据第三段中的“‘The weak point is that it can't deliver directly to the door like a human.’said one customer, who does not live on the ground floor.”可知黄色机器人的缺点是它不能像人一样直接送货上门，所以填It can't deliver directly to the door like a human。

（3）考查信息提升能力。

根据第四段中的“The robot takes off for Chinese customers' love of cashless payments and smartphone shopping.”可知机器人在中国很受欢迎是因为中国消费者喜欢无现金支付和智能手机购物，所以填Because of Chinese customers' love of cashless payments and smartphone shopping./Because Chinese customers love cashless payments and smartphone shopping。

（4）考查信息提升能力。

上文“Liu Zhiyong, founder and CEO of Zhen Robotics”甄机器人创始人兼CEO刘志勇，由此推断出下文which manufactures the robot, sees a bright future for his creation.的意思是他制造了这款机器人，看到了他的创造的光明前景。

2．阅读理解
When was the last time you sat on a park bench(凳子)? Did you stay for long? A new kind of park benches will limit the amount of time you can sit there. If you don't get up in time, it could be very painful: there are many sharp spikes (钉子) on the part that you sit on!
Visitors who want a rest on the bench need to put a coin in a machine next to it. Once the money was accepted, the spikes disappear into the bench. Then visitors can sit down comfortably, but only for half an hour. When the time's up, the spikes slowly start moving up again. It doesn't hurt at first, but after a minute, they start coming up even more quickly. They aren't long enough to cause serious hurt, but they do cause pain, as tests have shown. But why have they been installed (安装)?
"Our public park is very popular in summer," a spokesperson for the park explained. "But with all the thousands of people who visit the park, there aren't enough benches for everyone. We want to make sure that the benches are shared by more visitors, and to stop people taking a bench and staying there all day. Installing spikes seems to be the fairest way of stopping people doing this."
（1）How is the new kind of park bench different from other benches?
（2）What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
（3）Why are the new benches installed?
（4）The passage says, "Installing spikes seems to be the fairest way of stopping people doing this." Do you agree with this? Please state your reasons.
【答案】（1）It can limit the amount of time people sit on it (with sharp spikes). / If you don't get up from it in limited time, it could make you painful./ There are many sharp spikes on it to limit the amount of time people sit on it.
（2）It's mainly about how the new kind of benches work.
（3）They're installed to solve the problem that some people take a bench too long and others can't share it.
（4）Yes. If people are asked to pay for benches, they will not take it too long when they don't really need it. Thus, every visitor will have the chance to share it. / No. Benches in parks should be free to visitors. The park can build more benches to solve its problem instead of limiting the time when visitors have a rest on benches.
【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文，介绍了一种新型公园长椅，其不同之处在于它上面有很多尖刺，用来限制人们坐在上面的时间。

安装这种椅子的目的是为了让更多的人都能分享到长椅。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据第一段中的“If you don’t get up in time, it could be very painful: there are many sharp spikes on the part that you sit on!”如果你没有及时起来，那将是非常痛苦的:你所坐的部位有许多锋利的刺!可知新型公园长椅与其他长椅的不同之处在于如果你不能在有限的时间内离开它，它可能会让你痛苦。

故答案为：It can limit the amount of time people sit on it (with sharp spikes). / If you don’t get up from it in limited time, it could make you painful./There are many sharp spikes on it to limit the amount of time people sit on it.。

（2）考查段落大意。

根据第二段中的“Visitors who want a rest on the bench need to put a coin in a machine next to it. Once the money was accepted, the spikes disappear into the bench. Then visitors can sit down comfortably, but only for half an hour. When the time’s up, the spikes slowly start moving up again.”想要在长椅上休息的游客需要在旁边的机器里放一枚硬币。

一旦这笔钱被接受，钉子就会消失在板凳上。

然后游客可以舒服地坐下来，但只能坐半个小时。

当时间到了，尖峰又开始慢慢地向上移动。

可知第二段主要介绍了这种新型长椅是如何工作的，故答案为It’s mainly about how the new kind of benches work.。

（3）考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的“We want to make sure that the be nches are shared by more visitors, and to stop people taking a bench and staying there all day.”我们希望确保更多的游客可以共享这些长椅，并阻止人们坐在长椅上一整天。

可知安装它们是为了解决有些人坐了太长时间的板凳，而有些人却无法分享的问题。

故答案为：They’re installed to solve the problem that some people take a bench too long and ot hers can’t share it.。

（4）本题为开放性题目，言之有理即可。

故答案为：Yes. If people are asked to pay for benches, they will not take it too long when they don’t really need it. Thus, every visitor will have the chance to share it. /No. Benches in parks should be free to visitors. The park can build more benches to solve its problem instead of limiting the time when visitors have a rest on benches.。

3．阅读下面材料，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

The autumn wind woke me up from my dream. I took a deep breath and looked around. Suddenly I saw two people approaching me. As there was no one else in the park, they caught my attention immediately.
The two people were getting closer and I heard them laughing. At first, this laugh made me annoyed as if they had broken my unity with this park and disturbed my thoughts. But all of a sudden, I noticed the age of them — they were old. I could not clearly identify their age, but the woman looked as old as my grandmother. She had grey hair, blue eyes, and a smile on her face. And all the time she was looking at HIM...
"Jim, I think we should change the park. It's the same every Saturday. You know..." "Sus! Hug me."— that was all he said. He looked at her, smiled and gave her a hug.
At this very moment, I saw an old but strong man who knew his wife, and no matter how often she could be complaining, he loved her! I imagined the many things they might go through together — so many hardships that might make them cry, all the problems that they might be experiencing right now and the probability that one of them would outlive the other. And the one that outlives will think the life they spent together was the most beautiful period of their life.
They left, and I was sitting on my bench, shocked, and I had a special feeling in my heart. This feeling was hope! The old couple with all the complaints and tons of mistakes behind their backs made me realize that it was happiness that mattered in life. Eventually, all people would get old and die, and what made a difference was the person you had dedicated your life to. I made a wish — waking up one day, being old and feeling proud of being together with the person I loved to overcome all the obstacles ( 障碍) and fight for happiness.
（1）Why did the author become angry at the old couple's laugh? (no more than 15 words) （2）Why did the old couple look at each other all the time? (no more than 10 words)
（3）What was the author doing at that moment in Paragraph 4? (no more than 20 words) （4）What does the underlined word "dedicated" mean in the last paragraph? (1 word)
（5）How do you like the old couple? What can you learn from the passage? Please express it in your own words. (no more than 20 words)
【答案】（1）Because it had broken his unity with the park and disturbed his thoughts.
（2）Because they loved each other deeply.
（3）The author was wondering what made the old couple love each other so much/The author was imagining what the old couple might have gone through in life and made them love each other deeply.
（4）Devoted/ Give entirely.
（5）I think they are admirable/ encouraging/ a good example for us!We should cherish people who love us and fight for happiness with them together.
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，作者通过记叙公园的一对彼此深爱的老夫妻而引发了自己对于追求幸福，克服所有障碍和自己爱的人在一起的感悟。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的“At first, this laugh made me annoyed as if they had
broken my unity with this park and disturbed my thoughts.”可知作者对那对老夫妇的笑声感到生气，因为它们破坏了作者与这个公园的统一，扰乱了他的思绪。

故填Because it had broken his unity with the park and disturbed his thoughts.。

（2）考查细节理解。

根据第四段中的“At this very moment, I saw an old but strong man who knew his wife, and no matter how often she could be complaining, he loved her!”可知这对老夫妇总是互相看着对方是因为他们很爱彼此。

故填Because they loved each other deeply.。

（3）考查细节理解。

根据第四段中的“I imagined the many things they might go through together — so many hardships that might make them cry, all the problems that they might be experiencing right now and the probability that one of them would outlive the other.”可知作者想象着他们可能一起经历的许多事情——那么多的困难可能会让他们哭泣，他们现在可能正在经历的所有问题，以及他们其中一个活得比另一个更长的可能性。

即作者是在思考是什么使这对老夫妇如此相爱。

故填The author was wondering what made the old couple love each other so much.或The author was imagining what the old couple might have gone through in life and made them love each other deeply.
（4）考查词义猜测。

根据上文“Eventually, all people would get old and die, and what made a difference was the person you had”可知最终，所有的人都会变老并死去，而真正起作用的是和你相伴一生的人，你为之奉献一生的人。

故可推测划线部分单词意思为"奉献"。

故填Devoted/ Give entirely.。

（5）本题为开放性题目，言之有理即可。

故填I think they are admirable/ encouraging/ a good example for us!（我认为他们是值得钦佩的/鼓舞的/为我们树立了一个好榜样!）或We should cherish people who love us and fight for happiness with them together.（我们应该珍惜爱我们的人，和他们一起为幸福而奋斗。

4．请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

If you said you were suffering from "burnout" in the early 1970s, you might have raised some eyebrows.
At the time, the term was informally to describe the side effects that heavy drug users experienced.
However, in 1974, a German-American psychologist Herbert Freudenberger found the volunteers at his clinic were struggling, too: their work was tough, and many were lacking in motivation. Freudenberger defined this condition as a state of extreme tiredness caused by constant overwork－and borrowed the term "burnout" to describe it.
Late last month, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that the problem will be recognized as a syndrome (综合征) "resulting from workplace stress that has not been successfully managed."
Feeling the burn so how can you tell if you're almost burned out?
"A lot of the signs and symptoms of pre-burnout would be very similar to depression," says
Siobhan Murray, a psychotherapist. She suggests looking out for bad habits, such as increased alcohol consumption and relying on sugar to get you through the day. Also watch out for feelings of tiredness that won't go away or not having the energy to exercise or go for a walk. As soon as you begin to feel this way, Murray advises going to see your doctor. "Depression and pre-burnout are very similar. But it is still classified as an occupational phenomenon which is still best tackled by making lifestyle changes."
And how do you know if you're really on the edge of burnout? "Stress is really important, and anxiety is what motivates us to do well," says Murray. "It's when we're continually exposed to stress and anxiety that it starts to turn into burnout."
You're pre-burnout: What's next?
"Sometimes they feel the need to be too perfect so they're having to work very hard to cover up that they're not quite as good as everyone thinks." Another therapist Walker says.
However, sometimes the work environment is the problem. According to a 2018 study of 7,500 US workers, burnout comes from unfair treatment at work, an unmanageable workload and not knowing what a person's role should involve. Workers were also stressed out by a lack of support from their manager and punreasonable time pressure.
Whatever the cause of your burnout, Murray's top tip is to be kind to yourself.
In Murray's experience, a key driver of burnout is today's culture of wanting it all. Often it's just not possible to have a healthy social life and complete a big project at the same time. She says it's vital to prioritize and not expect too much of yourself; when others seem like the perfect boss, parent and friend all at the same time, they're probably misleading us.
If you feel that you might be close to joining the burnout club, take a step back, figure out what's going wrong－and let yourself off the hook.
lack/overuse；imperfect；provide/offer /afford；avoiding；kind
【解析】【分析】本文主要介绍了"精力耗尽"这个词的定义和相应症状，造成这种症状的原因以及提出避免的方法。

（1）由文章前三段以及所填空表格右边的内容可知，讲的是burnout在不同时期的不同解释，故填Changes或Differences。

（2）原文第一段指出，在70年代burnout指的是重度吸毒者遭受的副作用，因此heavy drug users这里转换为drugabuse/addiction。

故填abuse/addiction。

（3）原文第三段a state of extreme tiredness caused by constant overwork可知，是指人们因为不断超负荷工作而劳累，而本题所填空在volunteers前，应该是形容词，因此讲tiredness转换为tired/
exhausted。

故填tired/exhausted。

（4）原文第四段最后一行stress that has not been successfully managed可知，是指没能处理好压力，而本题所填空应该是名词，固定搭配fail to do表示未能做成某事，此处转换为名词failure。

故填failure。

（5）原文第六段第一行be very similar to depression可知，burnout和depression很相似，而所填空应该是名词，固定搭配share similarities with ……表示和……很类似，故填similarities。

（6）原文第六段第三行需要酒精get you through the day 和not having the energy可知，觉得自己没有精力，或者是精力被过度消耗，所填空为名词，故填lack或overuse。

（7）原文倒数第五段可知，人们被要求很完美，因此努力去做到别人想的那样，即人们不愿意承认自己的不完美，本空应填形容词，故填imperfect。

（8）原文倒数第四段the work environment is the problem和后面具体的unfair treatment at work, an unmanageable workload and not knowing what a person's role should involve可知，公司没能提供有利的工作环境，所填空应该是动词，故填provide/offer /afford。

（9）由文章最后两段内容可知，要接纳自己，不要给自己过多的压力过多的期待，是在介绍避免burnout的方法，且固定搭配approach to doing，故填avoiding。

（10）原文倒数第三段Murray建议要be kind to yourself，故填kind。

【点评】考查任务型阅读。

要结合原文，分析原文中心和段落结构，利用原词复现、上下文关联和概括总结解题。

5．任务型阅读
The environmental group Heal the Bay organized a beach clean-up. And I was one of the volunteers. We went to Venice Beach to clean up the trash.
At first glance, the beach didn't look dirty at all. But then I saw a Styrofoam(泡沫)cup half buried in the sand on the beach. I pulled hard and finally got it out. As we moved farther, we found pieces of Styrofoam spread all over the sand. The Heal the Bay representative had told us that these little pieces of Styrofoam and other small pieces of plastic are what actually harm sea life most. Sea animals eat the plastic. After eating it, they think they are full. As a result, they can die of starvation as they are cheated by their feeling and don't think they need to eat any food. We kept on picking up the trash. Then I saw someone with a full Heal the Bay trash bag and I went to see what was inside. When I opened the trash bag, I found everything from a pair of old jeans and a brown belt to headphones and some plastic bags. It made me very angry with the people who left their things behind without thinking what effects they might have on the ocean.
It is really important to protect the ocean. The ocean covers 70 percent of the Earth's surface. A clean ocean not only helps animals in the ocean survive but also helps us survive.
By noon, the sun was shining and the temperature was rising. The volunteers that had spread out across Venice Beach were coming back to throw the trash they had collected into the truck. I could not believe how much trash there was. All together we collected more than 135 bags of trash. I do hope that next time people go to the beach, they will stop littering.
（1）Why did the environmental group go to Venice Beach? (No more than 6 words)
（2）What does the underlined word "starvation" in Paragraph 2 mean in English?(1 word) （3）How did the author feel seeing the trash in that volunteer's trash bag according to Paragraph 3?(No more than 8 words)
（4）How much trash did the volunteer collect all together that day? (No more than 8 words) （5）What do you think of throwing plastic trash on the beach? And why? (No more than 25 words)
【答案】（1）To clean up the trash.
（2）Hunger
（3）He/She felt very angry.
（4）They collected more than 135bags of trash.
（5）It is a very bad habit, because trash thrown on the beach may end up in the sea, resulting in the death of many sea creatures.
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。

环保组织Heal the Bay组织了一次海滩清洁活动,作者是志愿者之一。

他们去了威尼斯海滩清理垃圾。

在清理垃圾的过程中作者感触良多。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据第一段中的“We went to Venice Beach to clean up the trash. ”可知环我们去了威尼斯海滩清理垃圾。

所以答案为To clean up the trash。

（2）考查词义猜测。

根据第二段中的“Sea animals eat the plastic. After eating it, they think they are full. As a result, they can die of starvation as they are cheated by their feeling and don't think they need to eat any food. ”可知海洋动物吃了塑料。

吃完之后,他们认为他们已经吃饱了。

结果,因为他们会被不必吃任何食物的感觉所欺骗并觉得自己不需要吃任何东西而死于"starvation"。

根据上下文,可知这里的starvation意思是"饥饿",故答案为Hunger。

（3）考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的“It made me very angry with the people who left their things behind without thinking what effects they might have on the ocean. ”可知作者在看清楚袋子里的内容之后,对于那些没想过他们可能会对海洋有什么影响就丢垃圾的人感到很生气。

所以答案为He/ She felt very angry.
（4）考查细节理解。

根据最后一段中的“All together we collected more than 135 bags of trash. ”可知他们一共收集了超过135袋垃圾,故答案为They collected more than 135bags of trash.
（5）考查推理判断。

本文要求考生根据文章内容自由发挥,参考答案为. It is a very bad habit,because trash thrown on the beach may end up in the sea,resulting in the death of many sea creatures.
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，要求考生准确捕捉细节信息，同时根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而做
出正确答案。

6．请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

If there is one word to describe the progress made in the last 100 years, it's connectedness. From the telephone to the radio to the TV to the Internet, we have found ways to bring us all closer together, enabling，constant worldly access.
I don't think I need to highlight the benefits of all this. But the downsides are also beginning to show. Beyond the current talk about privacy and data collection, there is perhaps an even more detrimental side-effect here: We now live in a world where we're connected to everything except ourselves. According to Pascal, we fear the silence of existence, and we dread boredom and instead choose aimless distraction and use the noise of the world to block out the discomfort of dealing with ourselves.
However, we ignore the fact that never facing ourselves is why we feel lonely an anxious in spite of being so intimately connected to everything else around us.
Fortunately, there is a solution. The only way to avoid being ruined by this is to face it. It's to let the boredom take you where it wants so you can deal with whatever it is that is really going on with your sense of self. That's when you'll hear yourself think, and learn to engage the parts of you that are masked by distraction.
The beauty of this is that, once you cross that initial barrier, you realize that being alone isn't so bad. Boredom can provide its own stimulation.
When you surround yourself with moments of solitude and stillness, you become intimately familiar with your environment in a way that forced stimulation doesn't allow. The world becomes richer, the layers start to peel back, and you see things for what they really are, in all their wholeness, in all their contradictions, and in all their unfamiliarity.
You learn that there are things you are capable of paying attention to than just what makes the most noise on the surface. Just because a quiet room doesn't scream with excitement like the idea of immersing yourself in a movie or a TV show doesn't mean there isn't depth to explore there.
Sometimes, the direction that this solitude leads you in can be unpleasant, especially when it comes to introspection (内省)—your thoughts and your feelings, your doubts and your hopes—but in the long term, it's far more pleasant than running away from it all without even realizing what you are.
Being alone and connecting inwardly is a skill nobody ever teaches us. That's ironic because it's more important than most of the ones they do.
Solitude may not be the solution to everything, but it certainly is a start.
blame；solution(s)；Instead/Rather/Actually；comprehensive/thorough/ overall；exploring；loneliness
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，信息技术的发展让我们可以和除了自己以外的一切事物保持联系，也让我们害怕孤独和无聊。

事实上，独处不仅能让我们克服这种恐惧，也能让我们认清自己和更全面的看清问题。

孤独也许不是解决一切问题的办法，但它确实是一个开始。

（1）考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的”But the downsides are also beginning to show. Beyond the current talk about privacy and data collection, there is perhaps an even more detrimental side-effect here: We now live in a world where we're connected to everything except ourselves.“可知，让人们变得更近的科技最近展示出了缺点，那就是我们生活在一个除了和自己，我们和一切都有联系的世界。

故可推出"科技的发展"和"我们和一切都有联系，除了自己"之间是转折意义。

填Although/Though/While。

（2）考查推理判断。

根据第二段中的”We now live in a world where we're con nected to everything except ourselves“可知我们生活在这样的一个世界，除了自己我们和一切都有联系，即我们没能与自己联系，fail to do sth，固定短语，"没能做某事"。

空格处是主句谓语动词，一般现在时，主语是we，故用动词原形，填fail。

（3）考查推理判断。

根据第二段中的”we fear the silence of existence“可知我们害怕独处。

此处考查用a__________ state of existence替换silence of existence，通过分析可知空格处应填形容词，a silent/quiet state of existence=silence of existence(独处)。

故填silent/quiet。

（4）考查推理判断。

根据第二段中的”we dread boredom and instead choose aimless distraction and use the noise of the world to block out the discomfort of dealing with ourselves.“可知我们害怕无聊，取而代之，我们选择漫无目的的分散注意力，用世界的噪音
来阻止我们面对自己时的不舒适感觉。

故第4空处可译为We feel so uncomfortable when dealing with ourselves that we __________ from it all我们在面对自己时感到如此不舒适以至于我们想要躲避/逃离/退缩，此处是句子谓语动词，根据feel判断为一般现在时，主语是we，故用动词原形，填escape/ hide/ shrink/ withdraw。

（5）考查推理判断。

根据第三段中的”However, we ignore the fact that never facing ourselves is why we feel lonely an anxious“可知，我们却忽略了事实，那就是从未面对过自己是我们感到孤独和焦虑的原因。

never facing ourselves is to ________ for our feeling lonely and anxious.从未面对过自己应为我们的孤独感和焦虑感负责。

此处用be to blame for”对……负责“符合文意，由to判断此处用动词原形。

故填blame。

（6）考查原词重现。

根据此空后面列举的内容可知，它们都是解决孤独的方法，且原文中”Fortunately, there is a solution.“也有提示，根据the判断此处填名词。

故填solution(s)。

（7）考查推理判断。

根据第五段中的”you realize that being alone isn't so bad. Boredom can provide its own stimulation.“可知你会意识到孤独并没有那么糟糕，无聊会提供它自己的刺激。

Being alone isn't so bad. __________ , you'll be stimulated by boredom.独处并没有那么糟糕，相反/事实上，无聊会刺激你，符合文意，又此处是修饰句子，应用副词，故填Instead/Rather/Actually。

（8）考查推理判断。

根据第六段中的”The world becomes richer, the layers start to peel back, and you see things for what they really are, in all their wholeness, in all their contradictions, and in all their unfamiliarity.“可知独处时世界变得丰富，层次开始剥落，你看到事物的本质，它们的全部，它们的矛盾处，和它们的陌生处，即你对看到的事物有更全透彻的理解。

再结合名词views判断此处应填形容词，故填comprehensive/thorough/ overall。

（9）考查推理判断。

根据第七段中的”Just because a quiet room doesn't scream with excitement like the idea of immersing yourself in a movie or a TV show doesn't mean there isn't depth to explore there.“可知，仅仅因为一个安静的房间不会让你兴奋的尖叫，就像你沉浸在一场精彩的电影或电视节目一样，这并不意味着没有深度去探索，即安静的环境可以让人集中精力去深度探索。

故此处用"探索"符合文意，在结合前面的of判断此处应用动名词形式。

故填exploring。

（10）考查推理判断。

本文主要讲害怕孤独对我们的危害，以及独处和无聊的好处，再结合”Solitude is the first step you should take to save yourself from being ruined by ________ and anxiety.“可知独处是你避免被孤独和焦虑毁掉所采取的第一步，可以总结本文，又根据and anxiety可知空格处应填名词。

故填loneliness。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和原词重现三个题型的考查，是一篇生活类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而写出正确答案。

7．阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

When we were growing up in our grandparents' home, Jack, my grandfather, was always in his room sitting in the chair and listening to the radio. The voices speaking from the metal box day and night, taught us that there was a larger world outside. He would roll the black dial (刻度盘)。
