英语试题
一、阅读选择
When it comes to the greatest inventions of the world, China’s name is sure to be mentioned several times. There are hundreds of things which were invented by the Chinese. Alcohol
Shocked? I was because when they said alcohol I thought about either the US or the UK. China had never crossed my mind. In China, alcohol was made by two legendary persons named Yi Di and Du Kang who belonged to the Xia Dynasty. This period was about 2000 BC - 1600 BC．Research says that in ancient China, beer with 4% alcoholic content was widely consumed by people.
Tea
China is the proud inventor of tea which was first drunk by Shen Nong, a Chinese emperor around 2737 BC．Tea production was rapidly developed, making tea a popular drink during the Tang and Song Dynasties.
The Mechanical Clock
Have you ever wondered what on earth we would be doing without any idea of time? A clock really is an invention without which things were incomplete. The credit of making the first mechanical clock goes to ancient China. The first mechanical clock was invented by Yi Xing in the Tang Dynasty. This was during 618 and 907.
Silk Fabric
Silk, the favorite fabric of many girls out there, is also a Chinese invention. Although we all know that silk is made by silkworms, it was Chinese people who first invented a way to harvest the silk and then use it to make clothes. The oldest silk which has been found so far is in Henan Province and dates back to 3630 BC．
1．We can learn from Paragraph 2 that ________.
A．people in the US like alcohol
B．beer was popular in the Xia Dynasty

1．推理判断题。

根据第二段第一句Shocked? I was because when they said alcohol I thought about either the US or the UK.〔震惊吗?因为当他们说到酒的时候，我想到的不是美国就是英国。

〕可推测，作者并不知道酒是一项中国创造。

应选D。

2．细节理解题。

根据第四段第二句A clock really is an invention without which things were incomplete.〔时钟确实是一项没有它一切都会不完整的创造。

〕可知，第四段第一句提出的问题是为了说明机械钟创造的重要性。

应选D。

3．推理判断题。

分析四项创造可知：酒大约是公元前2000年到公元前1600年创造的；茶叶大约在公元前2737年；机械钟表是在618年和907年；丝绸产于河南省，可追溯到公元前3630年。

It's a popular belief that a fish's memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don't remember what they've eaten or where they’ve been, and they
don't identify you or any of their friends--every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.
But don't be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago. In the study, researchers from Mac Ewan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food.They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. Researchers used computer software to monitor the fis h’s movements.They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they
could remember their past experiences.
In fact. scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively(挑衅地) in front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past "fights".But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.
Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild. "If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risk,"lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.
For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals.But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.
4．According to the text, people commonly believe that ______.
A．fish don't recognize any of their friends
B．a fish's memory lasts for only seven minutes
C．fish can only remember part of their past experiences
D．fish can remember things that happened long ago
5．How can fish benefit most from a good memory?
A．They can remember their enemies and fight.
B．They can remember where to get food and survive.
C．They can remember their friends and help each other.
D．They can remember where to go when in danger.
6．What can we learn from the text?
A．Only African cichlids have a good memory.
B．African cichlids can remember things for 12 days.
C．African cichlids always treat other fish aggressively.
D．African cichlids don't belong to the list of smart animals.
7．What is the text mainly about?
A．What we can learn from fish.
B．Fish having a very bad memory.
C．How fish improve their memory.
D．Fish being smarter than we thought.
【答案】
4．A

What will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question，you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio--technology〔生物技术〕. With the help of new medicine，the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents，murder and war. Today’s leading killers，such as heart disease，cancer，and aging itself，will become distant memories.
In discussion of technological changes，the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells〔细胞〕are the basic units of all living things，and until recently，scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells，such as those of brain cells，would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100，medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so，people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs〔器官〕. The medicine，made up of the basic building materials of life，will build new brain cells，heart cells，and so on －in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.
It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence，but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.
8．According to the passage，human death is now mainly caused by ________. A．diseases and aging B．accidents and war
C．accidents and aging D．heart disease and war
9．In the author’s opinion，today’s most important advance in technology lies in〔在于〕
________.
A．the Internet B．medicine
C．brain cells D．human organs
10．Humans may live longer in the future because ________.
A．heart disease will be far away from us
B．human brains can decide the final death
C．the basic materials of cells will last forever
D．human organs can be repaired by new medicine
11．How long can humans live in the future according to the passage?
A．Over 100 years.
B．More than 120 years.
C．About 150 years.
D．The passage doesn’t tell us.
【答案】
8．A
9．B
10．D
11．D
【分析】
试题分析：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了医学的开展让未来人们的寿命会大大延长。

8．A 细节理解题。

根据第一段最后一句“Today’s leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories〞.〔今天的头号杀手，如心脏病、癌症和衰老本身，将成为遥远的记忆〕可知，现在人们死亡的主要原因是疾病和衰老。

故A正确。

9．C 细节理解题。

根据第二段“But the change in medicine can be the real tec hnological event of our times.〞〔但是，医学的变革可能是我们这个时代真正的科技事件。

〕可知，在作者看来，当今最重要的技术进步在于医学，故B正确。

10．D 细节理解题。

根据第二段“Sometime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine repair their organs(器官)〞〔在2050年到2100年之间的某个时候，医学将会开展到每10年左右，人们将能够通过服用药物来修复他们的器官〕.可知，未来人们的寿命会更长是因为可以用新药来修复器官，故D正确。

11．D 细节理解题。

根据第二段“Sometime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine repair their organs(器官)〞〔在2050年到2100年之间的某个时候，医学将会开展到每10年左右，人们将能够通过服用药物来修复他们的器官〕.可知，第二段提及人们可以用药物来替换修复细胞，故很难说人能活多久，文章也没有提及具体时间，故D正确。

考点：考查科普类短文阅读
There are 8.8 million blind people in India. In fact, there are 36 million blind people
worldwide and a quarter of them are in India; however, many cases of blindness in India are curable. The poor in India have limited access to primary eye healthcare and often do not eat foods rich in micronutrients, like vitamins and minerals, which play an important role in maintaining good eye health.
Many people worldwide are not even aware that they may have a vision (视力) problem simply because they do not get their eyes tested every year with a doctor, who tests for the functioning of the eye muscles (肌肉), as well as common diseases like night blindness. This exam is strongly recommended by experts because some changes in vision, which the patient may take longer to notice, can be found easily in this way.
Certain simple changes in diet and lifestyle can ensure better eye health for you. These include drinking plenty-of water, not smoking, and eating brightly colored and leafy fruit and vegetables. Wearing sunglasses protects your eyes from the sun, which damages otherwise healthy eyes. Learn about your family's eye disease history, and be on the lookout for any problem about your vision. Make sure that you see a doctor immediately for early intervention(干预) if you see any of these signs of worsening eye health.
If you or a loved one needs to cure blindness or other eye diseases, turn to a crowdfunding (众筹) platform. A group of eye health caregivers have fundraised with crowdfunding platform Impact Guru to raise money to perform operations on the eyes of blind women in south Asia. Running an online fundraiser enables both doctors and patients to find a way out of the dark. If you want eye care to develop, start a fundraiser today. 12．Why are there so many blind people in India?
A．There is a lack of eye hospitals in India.
B．People pay no attention to their eyes at all.
C．Poor Indians lack food good for eye health.
D．The environment damages their eyes.
13．What does the author suggest in Paragraph 2?
A．Examining your eyes annually.
B．Strengthening muscles every day.
C．Raising the awareness of physical health.
D．Attaching importance to self-examination.
14．Which of the following may do harm to your eyes?
A．Smoking a lot. B．Wearing sunglasses.
C．Drinking much water. D．Watching brightly-colored pictures. 15．What does the author want to show in the last paragraph?
A．How to start a fundraiser online.
B．The importance of raising money.
C．The role of crowdfunding in eye care.
D．What should be done to raise money.

文章讲述的是如何确保你的眼睛健康。

12．细节理解题。

根据第一段中“The poor in India have limited access to primary eye healthcare and often do not eat foods rich in micronutrients, like vitamins and minerals, which play an important role in maintaining good eye health.〞〔印度穷人获得初级眼保健的时机有限，而且往往不吃富含维生素和矿物质等微量元素的食物，而这些微量元素在保持良好的眼健康方面发挥着重要作用〕可知，印度有这么多盲人是因为贫穷的印度人缺乏对眼睛健康有益的食物。

应选C。

13．推理判断题。

根据第二段“M any people worldwide are not even aware that they may have a vision (视力) problem simply because they do not get their eyes tested every year with a doctor, who tests for the functioning of the eye muscles (肌肉), as well as common diseases like night blindness.〞〔世界上许多人甚至没有意识到他们可能有视力问题，这仅仅是因为他们没有每年请医生检查眼部肌肉的功能，以及常见的疾病，如夜盲症〕可知，作者在第二段中建议每年检查你的眼睛。

应选A。

14．细节理解题。

根据第三段“Certain simple changes in diet and lifestyle can ensure better eye health for you. These include drinking plenty-of water, not smoking, and eating brightly colored and leafy fruit and vegetables. 〞〔饮食和生活方式的一些简单改变可以确保你的眼睛更好的健康。

这些建议包括多喝水，不吸烟，吃颜色鲜艳、多叶的水果和蔬菜〕可知，吸烟太多可能对你的眼睛有害。

应选A。

15．主旨大意题。

根据最后一段“If you or a loved one needs to cure blindness or other eye diseases, turn to a crowdfunding (众筹) platform. 〞〔如果你或你所爱的人需要治疗失明
或其他眼疾，那就求助于众筹平台〕可知，最后一段讲述的是众筹在眼科保健中的作用。

A. encouraged鼓励；
B. ordered命令；
C. forced强迫；
D. employed雇用。

空后说他们想亲自感谢作者，因此他们雇了律师找作者，故D项正确。

40．考查动词词义辨析。

句意：我见到了那家人，然后我们成了朋友。

A. missed想念；
B. met遇到、见面；
C. praised表扬；
D. welcomed欢送。

空后说然后他们成了朋友，这说明他们见面了，故B项正确。

【点睛】
本篇第7题难度较大，抓住空后的暗示是关键，根据空后的“they needed to speak loudly to hear each other.〞可知，他们需要大声说话才能听清彼此，这说明她和她丈夫都快聋了〔因年龄增大而听力变弱〕，故C项〔deaf〕正确。

四、用单词的适当形式完成短文
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容〔1个单词〕或括号内单词的正确形式。

Some people believe that the Internet is 41．(harm) to friendships. Talking to people on line or 42．(communicate) through a screen makes it more difficult to concentrate or show 43．(kind) to others. While it can connect you with other people 44．use social media,
face-to-face contact with others is important to help you build lifelong friendships. This is thought-provoking because it shows that people still need face-to-face communication with others today. 45．(spend) too much time on the Internet can also make you self-centred, because you can become obsessed with 46．(popular) and gaining “followers〞. Finally you need to be careful with various online relationships, because you can never be 100 percent sure that 47．you read online is true.
However others believe that the Internet can help develop friendships in many ways. Firstly, the Internet makes communication much 48．(convenient). Secondly, the Internet has also made communication more fun. You can share photos, videos, news stories and
website49．your friends online. Thirdly, online communication can 50．(actual) bring people closer to each other.

【分析】
这是一篇议论文。

文章主要论述了互联网的优缺点。

41．
考查形容词。

句意：有些人认为网络对友谊有害。

be harmful to…为固定短语，意为“对……有害处〞。

故填harmful。

42．
考查动名词。

句意：在网上与人交谈或通过屏幕交流让人更难集中注意力或对他人表示友好。

分析句子结构，此处有or这个连词，前后保持一致，空前的talking是动名词作主语，空后也应用动名词。

故填communicating。

43．
考查名词。

句意：在网上与人交谈或通过屏幕交流让人更难集中注意力或对他人表示友好。

Show是及物动词，后跟名词做宾语。

show kindness to sb.为固定短语意为“对某人表示善意〞。

故填kindness。

44．
考查定语从句。

句意：虽然它可以把你和其他使用社交媒体的人联系起来，但面对面的接触对帮助你建立终身友谊很重要。

people为先行词且指人，从句中缺少主语，所以用关系代词who来引导。

故填who。

45．
考查动名词。

句意：花太多时间在互联网上也会让你以自我为中心，因为你会变得沉迷于受欢送和获得“追随者〞。

分析句子结构，spend在句中做的是主语成分，所以应为动词-ing形式。

故填Spending。

46．
考查名词。

句意：花太多时间在互联网上也会让你以自我为中心，因为你会变得沉迷于受欢送和获得“追随者〞。

分析句子结构，空处和and后面的gaining “followers〞并列是with的宾语，所以用popular的名词形式。

故填popularity。

47．
考查主语从句。

句意：最后，你需要小心对待各种各样的网上关系，因为你永远不能百分百确定你在网上看到的是真的。

分析句子结构，题中缺主语从句的引导词，并且引导词要在句中做谓语read的宾语，所以应用连接代词what引导，做read的宾语。

故填what。

48．
考查形容词比拟级。

句意：首先，互联网使交流更加方便。

分析句子结构，空前的much 修饰比拟级，因convenient是多音节单词，所以应用more+形容词，构成形容词的比拟级。

故填more convenient。

49．
考查介词。

句意：你可以与您的朋友在线分享照片、视频、新闻故事和网站。

share sth. with sb.为定短语，意为“和某人分享某物〞。

故填with。

50．
考查副词。

句意：第三，网上交流实际上可以拉近人与人之间的距离。

分析句子结构，空后是动词bring，修饰动词应用副词。

故填actually。

五、短文改错

I went to buy some traditional Chinese medicine on last Sunday. Just before leaving the drugstore, I noticed that some foreigners seem to have difficulty communicate with the assistant. I went over to ask if I needed. The assistant told me that she couldn’t make herself understand about how to boil the mixture correctly. Learning that I could give them the hand, they were relieved. Without some trouble，I translated that the assistant wanted to say. Both sides expressed thanks to me. I was delighted to help other. More importantly，as a Chinese，I felt proudly to see foreigners try traditional Chinese medicine.
【答案】1. last 前的on 删掉。
