It was hard to accept, but the sad day had finally arrived. I still remember the tears welling up in my six-year-old sister’s eyes as she looked around the empty closet in wonder. The space once filled with her clothes now held only loneliness and sorrow. This little child had come to the realization that her father was gone. He had left us, and there was simply no way to change it.
Being the oldest of four girls has never been easy, but with the departure of our father, our world and dreams were broken beyond repair. My mother, the most amazingly warm-hearted person in the world, has worked harder than anyone should simply to mend our broken household. However, long hours at work often prevented her from physically being there in our times of need. This is where I have stepped up as the temporary caretaker of my three small sisters.
Many students write college essays about their leadership positions in school and the community but I feel that my greatest accomplishment is the role I have played within my own family.
Senior year in high school is not simple for anyone, especially when it feels like the entire world is resting on your shoulders, but this is how I have felt for the past two years, I have continually tried to fulfill the dream my mother holds for my future. My mother was not able to complete her college education, and so this success is her top significance for her children.
A leader is defined as one who has influence on others. I hope that my leadership affects the lives of my sisters and everyone around me. In dedicating myself to my family and school, I have set goals that I will do anything to accomplish. I am an extremely determined individual, and my university will help me take the next step in climbing the ladder of success.

在致力于家庭和学校的过程中，作者已经设定了目标来完成任何事情。

作者是一个非常有决心的人，作者希望大学将帮助作者在成功的阶梯上迈出下一步。

【4题详解】
推理判断题。

由第一段“It was hard to accept, but the sad day had finally arrived. I still remember the tears welling up in my six-year-old sister’s eyes as she looked around the empty closet in wonder. The space once filled with her clothes now held only loneliness and sorrow. This little child had come to the realization that her father was gone. He had left us, and there was simply no way to change it.”可知，这让人难以接受，但悲伤的日子终于到来了。

我还记得我六岁的妹妹惊讶地环顾空荡荡的壁橱时，眼里涌出了泪水。

曾经装满她衣服的空间现在只剩下孤独和悲伤。

这个小女孩意识到她的父亲已经走了。

他离开了我们，根本没有办法改变。

正因为父亲的离世，使家人的情感支离破碎，母亲努力工作来弥补破碎的家庭，没有太多时间照顾家庭，才促使作者在紧张的高三备考同时，又担任起了照顾妹妹们的任务。

所以第一段是故事发生的背景资料。

故判断出作者在第一段中打算介绍一些背景资料。

【5题详解】
细节理解题。

由第四段“I have continually tried to fulfill the dream my mother holds for my future. My mother was not able to complete her college education, and so this success is her top significance for her children.”可知，我一直在努力实现我妈妈对我未来的梦想。

我的母亲没能完成她的大学教育，所以这次成功对她的孩子来说是最重要的。

妈妈的梦想也是女儿的梦想，所以作者在高中最后一年的梦想是被大学录取。

故A选项正确。

【6题详解】
推理判断题。

由最后段“ In dedicating myself to my family and school, I have set goals that I will do anything to accomplish. I am an extremely determined individual, and my university will help me take the next step in climbing the ladder of success.”可知，在致力于我的家庭和学校的过程中，我已经设定了目标，我会做任何事情来完成。

我是一个非常有决心的人，我的大学将帮助我在成功的阶梯上迈出下一步。

故B选项正确。

【7题详解】
细节理解题。

由最后段“A leader is defined as one who has influence on others. I hope that my leadership affects the lives of my sisters and everyone around me”可知，领导者被定义为对他人有影响力的人。

我希望我的领导能影响我的姐妹们和我周围的每一个人的生活。

所以作者在她的家庭中扮演领导者的角色。

故C选项正确。

C
A new app aims to help parents interpret what their baby wants based on the sound of their cry. The free app ChatterBaby, which was released last month, analyzes the acoustic (声学的) features of a baby’s cry, to help parents understand whether their child might be hungry, fussy or in pain. While critics say caregivers should not rely too much on their smartphone, others say it’s a helpful tool fo r new or tired parents.
Ariana Anderson, a mother of four, developed the app. She originally designed the technology to help deaf parents better understand why their baby was upset, but soon realized it could be a helpful tool for all new parents.
To build a database, Anderson and her team uploaded 2,000 audio samples of infant(婴儿) cries. She used cries recorded during ear piercings and vaccinations to distinguish pain cries. And to create a baseline for the other two categories, a group of moms had to agree on whether the cry was either hungry or fussy.
Anderson’s team continues to collect data and hopes to make the app more accurate by asking parents to get specific about what certain sounds mean.
Pediatrician Eric Ball pointed out that evaluating cries ca n never be an exact science. “I think that all of the apps and technology that new parents are using now can be helpful but need to be taken seriously,” Ball said ,“ I do worry that some parents will get stuck in big data and turn their parenting into basically a spreadsheet(电子表格) which I think will take away
the love and caring that parents are supposed to be providing for the children. ”
But Anderson said the aim of the app is to have parents interpret the results, not to provide a yes or no answer. The B ells, a couple using this app, say it’s a win-win. They believe they are not only helping their baby now but potentially others in the future.
8. How does the app judge what babies want?
A. By collecting data.
B. By recording all the sounds.
C. By analyzing the sound of their cries.
D. By asking parents about specific messages.
9. What was the app designed for in the beginning?
A. All new parents.
B. Deaf parents.
C. Ariana Anderson.
D. Crying babies.
10. What is Ball’s opinion about the app?
A. Parents should use the app wisely.
B. The app can create an accurate result.
C. Parents and babies are addicted to the app.
D. The app makes babies lose love and caring.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. Parents should not rely too much on their smartphones.
B. A new app helps parents figure out why their babies are crying.
C. Parents can deal with babies’ hunger with the help of a new app.
D. A new app called ChatterBaby can prevent babies from crying.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇新闻报道。

短文报道了一款手机APP能帮你解读宝宝为什么会哭。

【8题详解】
细节理解题。

由第一段“A new app aims to help parents interpret what their baby wants based on the sound of their cry. The free app ChatterBaby, which was released last month, analyzes the acoustic (声学的) features of a baby’s cry, to help pare nts understand whether their child might
be hungry, fussy or in pain”可知，一款新的应用程序旨在帮助父母根据婴儿的哭声来理解他们想要什么。

上个月发布的免费应用程序ChatterBaby分析了婴儿啼哭的声音特征，以帮助父母了解他们的孩子是饿了、烦躁了还是痛苦了。

所以应用程序通过分析他们的哭声来判断婴儿想要什么。

故C选项正确。

【9题详解】
细节理解题。

由第二段“ She originally designed the technology t o help deaf parents better understand why their baby was upset,”可知，她最初设计这项技术是为了帮助失聪父母更好地理解他们的孩子为什么心烦意乱。

所以这款应用最初是为失聪的父母而设计的。

故B选项正确。

【10题详解】
推理判断题。

由第五段“I think that all of the apps and technology that new parents are using now can be helpful but need to be t aken seriously,”可知，我认为新父母现在使用的所有应用程序和技术都是有帮助的，但需要认真对待。

所以通过Ball所说的话，可以判断出，Ball对这个应用程序的看法是家长们应该明智地使用这款应用程序。

故A选项正确。

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。

通读全文可知，短文介绍了ChatterBaby应用程序的工作原理，研发的过程以及不同人对这款应用程序所持有的不同观点。

所有的这些都是在围绕着一款手机APP能帮你解读宝宝为什么哭而展开的。

故判断出短文主要在讨论一款新的应用程序可以帮助父母弄清楚他们的孩子为什么哭。

故B选项正确。

【点睛】根据文章中人物所说的话的内容是解决推理判断题的重要方法，因为通过所说的内容，我们可以判断出，作者所要想表达的观点是积极的还是消极的，是中立的还是支持或者否定某一方，对事情是关心的还是冷漠的。

是在提出建议还是在提出具体的解决措施.
由第五段“I think that all of the apps and technology that new parents are using now can be helpful but need to be taken seriously,”可知，我认为新父母现在使用的所有应用程序和技术都是有帮助的，但需要认真对待。

所以通过Ball所说的话，可以判断出，Ball对这个应用程序的看法是家长们应该明智地使用这款应用程序。

故A选项为小题3的正确选项。

D
It’s a real case of fish out of water. Blennies (鲇鱼) in the South Pacific Ocean are gradually relocating to land to escape their predators (捕食者), in an example of evolution in action.
Fish first began crawling onto dry land about 400 million years ago, kicking off an evolutionary chain of events that led to humans. But their reasons for exiting the sea have been uncertain.
To look for clues, Terry Ord at the University of New South Wales in Australia has been studying
several species of blennies at Rarotonga, the largest of the Cook Islands.
At low tide, blennies are commonly found swimming in rock pools around the edges of the island. But when high tide moves in, they climb up to dry land and move around the rocks until the tide retreats.
The researchers found that this is most likely to avoid predators that swim in with the rising tide – mainly bigger fish like lionfish.
To test what would happen if blennies did not have an escape plan, they made blenny models and sank them in the sea. The mimics ended up with wounds, bite marks and chunks-missing.
Of course, there are still dangers for blennies on land, like the occasional bird attack, but the predation risk on land is a third that of underwater.
What’s more, moving onto land has additional benefits for blennies. Holes in the rocks provide sheltered nests for laying eggs, and they can maintain their diet of bacteria.
In fact, several species of blenny fish at Rarotonga have already made the full transition to land-dwelling (陆生的) species. They continue to breathe with their gills, but have developed stronger tail fins and jump from rock to rock.
Ord believes that many evolutionary processes have been driven by the need to escape predators. “It is often assumed that animals move homes to find new sources of food, but in many cases, escaping predators is a stronger motivation.” he says.
12. Why do blennies climb to dry land when high tide comes?
A. To acquire better health.
B. To search for more food.
C. To seek safer living conditions.
D. To adapt to a new environment.
13. What does the underlined part “The mimics” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A. The rocks in the water.
B. The predators of blennies.
C. The researchers of blennies.
D. The models of blennies.
14. What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A. Ord’s research opens a new view.
B. Ord wonders why animals move homes.
C. Ord shows us the benefits of blennies’ evolution.
D. Ord has discovered how fish have become land dwellers.
15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A. Blennies’ Living Habits
B. Why Blennies Choose to Live on Land
C. Blennies’ Evolutionary Process
D. How Blennies Escape from their Predators
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。

短文主要介绍了鲇鱼离开海洋，迁移到陆地的原因。

【12题详解】
细节理解题。

由第五段“The researchers found that this is most likely to avoid predators that swim in with the rising tide –mainly bigger fish like lionfish.”可知，研究人员发现，这很可能是为了躲避那些随着潮水而来的捕食者——主要是像狮子鱼这样的大鱼。

所以为什么鲇鱼在涨潮时爬到陆地上的原因是因为他们寻求更安全的生活条件。

故C选项正确。

【13题详解】
推理判断题。

由第六段“To test what would happen if blennies did not have an escape plan, they made blenny models and sank them in the sea. The mimics ended up with wounds, bite marks and chunks-missing.”可知，为了测试如果鲇鱼模型没有逃生计划会发生什么，他们制作了鲇鱼模型，并把它们沉到海里。

这些鲇鱼模型最后留下了伤口、咬痕和大块肉不见了。

所以判断出第6段划线部分“The mimics”指的是鲇鱼的模型。

故D选项正确。

【14题详解】
推理判断题。

由最后段“It is often assumed that animals move homes to find new sources of food, but in many cases, escaping predators is a stronger motivation.”可知，人们通常认为动物搬家是为了寻找新的食物来源，但在很多情况下，逃离捕食者是更大的动机。

所以奥德的观点与人们认为动物搬家是为了寻找新的食物来源不同，他认为逃离捕食者是它们搬家的更大的动机。

这样的理论为人们认识动物搬家研究开辟了一个新的视角。

所以从最后一段可以得出结论是奥德的研究开辟了一个新的视野。

故A选项正确。

【15题详解】
标题归纳题。

由第一段“It’s a real case of fish out of water. Blennies (鲇鱼) in the South Pacific Ocean are gradually relocating to land to escape their predators (捕食者), in an example of evolution in action.”可知，南太平洋的鲇鱼正逐渐迁移到陆地上，以躲避捕食者，这是进化的一个例子。

以及下文主澳大利亚新南威尔士大学的特里·奥德的对这种现象的研究过程，研究的结论。

都是围绕
着为什么“为什么鲇鱼选择住在陆地上”而展开的。

故短文最佳的标题为“为什么鲇鱼选择住在陆地上”。

故B选项正确。

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。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Five steps to make a difference to the oceans
The oceans are being seriously polluted now. Plastics are harming the marine (海产的) life. Carbon pollution is warming the oceans and increasing their acidity(酸度). Waters are being overfished. ____16____ Here are some steps we can take to help make a difference.
1. Bring our own bags. ___17___ Try carrying a reusable bag at all times, including while traveling, and bringing our own things to work to avoid relying on plastic items.
2. Talk about it now. We should carry that conversation into public places. Talk to our friends and family about why the ocean is important and why we take steps to help it, and challenge them to do the same.
3. ____18____ A good way to make a difference is to organize a garbage cleanup now. Whether it’s an inland cleanup or one near the coast, plan one in our community.
4. Throw away our cars. ____19____ When we hang out, we should reduce our carbon footprint, which may help slow global warming and ocean acidification as well as conserve energy
5. Recycle, obviously. Experts say recycling is an obvious action to take. Check on what can be recycled in our community, and make sure you’re separating out your plastic.
In summary, think about it more and act on it more. The more someone thinks about plastics and plastics pollution, the environment and the consequences of our actions, the more likely they are to act on it. ___20___
A. Plan a cleanup.
B. Choose public transportation over driving our cars.
C. Driving cars is not a good way to protect the oceans.
D. However, experts say there’s still hope to make a difference.
E. However, marine life plays a very important role in the oceans.
F. If everyone can contribute to the oceans, the oceans will be well preserved.
G. Whenever we put something, we should bring our own bag, but not a plastic one.
【答案】16. D 17. G 18. A 19. B 20. F
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。

短文就人类如何改变海洋的生态环境，提出了五点有效的措施。

【16题详解】
由“The oceans are being seriously polluted now. Plastics ar e harming the marine (海产的) life. Carbon pollution is warming the oceans and increasing their acidity(酸度). Waters are being overfished. ____1____ Here are some steps we can take to help make a difference.”可知，现在海洋受到严重污染。

塑料正在伤害海洋生物的生命。

碳污染使海洋变暖，增加了它们的酸度。

水域被过度捕捞。

以下是我们可以采取的一些步骤来帮助做出改变。

所以小题1要起到与前面的句子转折的作用，才能够引起下文“以下是我们可以采取的一些步骤来帮助做出改变”。

故D选项“然而，专家表示，仍有希望做出改变”符合句意，故D选项正确。

【17题详解】
由小标题“ Bring our own bags. ”可知，带上自己的袋子。

所以小题2要说明当我们放东西的时候，我们应该自己带包，而不是塑料制成的袋子，在结合空处后面的句子一同来说明。

避免塑料袋子能够有效帮助改变海洋环境。

故G选项“当我们放东西的时候，我们应该自己带包，而不是塑料袋”符合句意。

故G选项正确。

【18题详解】
由“A good way to make a difference is to organize a garbage cleanup now. Whether it’s an inland cleanup or one near the coast, plan one in our community.”可知，改变现状的一个好方法是现在就组织一次垃圾清理。

无论是内陆清理还是海岸附近的清理，在我们的社区里计划一次垃圾清理活动。

所以本段主要是围绕着“计划清理垃圾”而展开的也就是本段小标题小题3的内容。

故A选项“计划清理垃圾”符合句意。

故A选项正确。

【19题详解】
由小标题“ Throw away our cars.”可知，不开车。

所以小题4要表明用什么样的方式来取代开车，从此达到节能减排的目的。

故B选项“选择公共交通而不是开车”符合句意。

故B选项正确。

【20题详解】
由“The more someone thinks about plastics and plastics pollution, the environment and the consequen ces of our actions, the more likely they are to act on it.”可知，人们越想塑料和塑料污染，环境和我们行为的后果，他们就越可能采取行动。

所以小题5与前一句都是对短文总结的内容。

故F选项“如果每个人都能为海洋做出贡献，那么海洋将会得到很好的保护”。

故F选项正确。

【点睛】找出句子之间的连接性的词语是解决7选5题的重要解题方法。

文章的语句间的组合，除了从语句间的意义关系分析外，还可借助句子之间的连接性词语来把握，因为连接性词语能表明这个语段句与句之间、层与层之间的基本关系有承接关系（如 so, therefore, thus, hence, accordingly, consequently, as a result 等）平列关系（如first, second, third…; firstly, secondly, thirdly…; first, next, then…; in the first place, in the second place…; for one thing, for another thing…;to begin with, to conclude 等）。

转折关系（如 however, nevertheless, nonetheless, still, though, yet, in spite of, at any rate, in any case, whoever, whatever on the contrary, in contrast, by contrast, in comparison, by comparison, conversely, otherwise 等）。

层递关系（如 also, further, furthermore, likewise, similarly, moreover, in addition, what’s more, too, either, neither, not…but…, not only…but also 等）。

由“The oceans are being seriously polluted now. Plastics are harming the marine (海产的) life. Carbon pollution is warming the oceans and increasing their acidity(酸度). Waters are being overfished. ____1____ Here are some steps we can take to help make a difference.”可知，现在海洋受到严重污染。

塑料正在损害海洋产品的生命。

碳污染使海洋变暖，增加了它们的酸度。

水域被过度捕捞。

以下是我们可以采取的一些步骤来帮助做出改变。

所以小题1要起到与前面的句子转折的作用，才能够引起下文“以下是我们可以采取的一些步骤来帮助做出改变”。

在对比各个选项，只有D选项中有表示转折关系的词however。

故D选项“然而，专家表示，仍有希望做出改变”符合句意，故小题1的正确选项为D选项。

第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）
第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）
