1.It’s not what you have in your life but ________ you have in your life that matters。
A.who B.that
C.which D.what
A解析:句意:重要的不是你在生活中拥有什么而是你拥有谁。
题干中not what you have in your life but ________ you have in your life是强调句中的被强调部分,根据前者的what,判断but后的从句中缺少have的宾语who。
故选A。
2.—How was the televised debate last night?
—Super! Rarely ________ so much media attention。
A.a debate attracted B.did a debate attract
C.a debate did attract D.attracted a debate
B解析:否定词rarely置于句首,句子要用部分倒装语序. 句意:——昨晚电视播放的辩论会怎么样?——很棒!很少有一场辩论会引起这么多媒体的关注。
3.—I’d like to find a job in the library.
-Good idea,________ it doesn’t affect your studies。
A.now that B.as long as

5.When________to a totally different culture,we should be open。
minded and try to understand and appreciate it。
A.to expose B.having exposed
C.exposed D.exposing
C解析:考查非谓语动词。
句意:当暴露在一种完全不同的文化中时,我们应该持开放态度并尽力理解和欣赏这种文化.主句的主语we是expose的动作承受者,故应用过去分词作状语,故选C。
6.China’s vast central and western regions have accelerated the pace of development。

D解析:whose指代the computer’s, 在句中作定语修饰help, with one's help意为“在某人的帮助下”。

In the cold and plain living room, Matt is sitting in his chair。
His eyes don’t shine anymore。
His skin is wrinkled and pale. He looks extremely old and weak。
Today is his birthday, and he is by himself. The only thing that he has been doing all day is thinking about how sad and lonely his life is. As he was looking at some old pictures, he found one special with him and his friends from college. This picture brought back the days when he had friends and his life was full of happiness。
Also,it brought him a sad memory. This memory happened forty years ago, during his last year of college.
Throughout college, Matt had a friend named Mark。
Mark was tall and skinny. He wore thick glasses。
He was shy, smart and responsible。
Also, Mark didn’t have as many friends as Matt had. He considered Matt as his best friend。
As good friends,Matt and Mark knew everything about each other, and they hung out and went boating together. Also, they overcame many problems together。
They were really good friends.
On his twenty。
fourth birthday their life changed。
On the night before his birthday,Mark called Matt,“Hi!Matt.”His voice sounded strange. He continued, “I have an important project to w ork on. I’m having some problems with this。
Maybe you could come over and help me with it giving me some new ideas。
Could you?”Matt asked, “What time?” Mark kept in silence for a minute, and then he said,“8 p.m。
is good for
you?” Then Matt answered,“OK!See you later.” At that night, it was Matt’s birthday. So, he didn't want to spend his birthday helping Mark with his project。
Matt went to a club with some other guys。
The next morning, Matt noticed that Mark was acting differently。
When he went to talk to Mark, Mark ignored him completely. He left the classroom without saying one word. As Mark was walking away, Matt said in an angry voice, “You are selfish。
You are just thinking about yourself。
I was having fun on my birthday. Why can’t you understand it?"
While he was saying it, Mallory, one of his classmates and friends, stood up and started to say,“How can you say such things to Mark? You don’t know what happened!Last night, he called you many times, but he didn’t get any answer from you. He worried about what was going wrong with you。
He took his car and drove all night looking for you。
He looked at the hospital, the jail, and bars..." Matt started to apologize to Mallory and to himself, saying, “Why did he do it? He could work on the project by himself, and...” At that time Mallory spoke angrily,“Shut up! He had prepared a surprise party for you, and we waited for you or for a call all night long。
”
Tears fell from his eyes. Matt didn’t know what to say or what to do. Before he said anything, Mallory left the classroom。
He sat down and stayed there for a long time. He looked around the classroom. ________ It was empty, just like his living room is now.

Ⅱ阅读理解
A
It's well known to car drivers that red means “stop”,green means “go”, and yellow means “hurry up and make that damn light”.Why those colors, though? The answer lies in the fact that the earliest traffic signals were designed for trains, not cars.They were red and green, gas。
powered, and more than a little dangerous in the event of a leak.
Red is an inherited(继承的) symbol from railroads, which symbolizes danger in many cultures。
As red has a longer wavelength than any other color on the visible spectrum(光谱), it can be seen from a greater distance than other colors.Red has m eant “stop” since long before cars existed, with train signals’ use of red dating back to the days when mechanical arms lifted and lowered to indicate whether the rail ahead was clear.
Green’s wavelength is next to(and shorter than)yellow’s on the visible spectrum,meaning it's still easier to see than any color other than red and yellow.Back in the early days of railway lights, green meant “caution”, while the “all。
clear” light was, well, clear or white.It is said that several disastrous collisions happened after an engineer mistook stars in the night for an allclear。
Thus, green became “go”,and for a long time, railways used only green and red to signal trains。
From the earliest days of motoring up until the mid。
1900s,not all stop signs
were red-many were yellow, because at night it was all but impossible to see a red stop sign in a poorly lit area.In 1915 the yellow stopsign craze began in Detroit,a city that five years later installed its first electric traffic signal, which happened to include the very first yellow traffic light.
But what of those mysterious yellow stop signs? As materials and technologies evolved, the ability to produce highly reflective signs meant that red could resume its natural spot in the sign hierarchy, leaving the stillhighly。
visible yellow to the domain(领域)of “caution”.That's why school zones and buses, crosswalks, and other important warnings are yellow today。
【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。
我们都知道“红灯停,绿灯行,黄灯亮了快点走”的交通规则,但交通信号灯为什么是红、黄、绿三种颜色呢?本文主要介绍了交通信号灯的起源和发展.
1.What were traffic lights originally intended for?
A.Trains. B.Cars。
C.Planes。
D.Ships。
A解析:细节理解题。
根据第一段中的“The answer lies in the fact that the earliest traffic signals were designed for trains,not cars."可知,最初,交通信号灯是为火车而不是汽车的通行而设计的.故选A。

A.It can be seen even in dark areas。
B.It represents danger in many cultures。
C.It has the longest wavelength。
D.People prefer red to other colors。
C解析:细节理解题。
根据第二段中的“As red has a longer wavelength than any other color on the visible spectrum(光谱),it can be seen from a greater distance than other colors。
”可知,由于红色在可见光谱中波长最长,因此可视距离要比其他颜色更远,这也是其能长期被用作表示“停止”的交通信号的原因.故选C。
3.Which of the following may the author agree with?
A.The meaning of red is culture.specific.
B.Yellow functioned as stop signs in the 1900s。
C.Green’s wavelength is just second to that of red.
D.Green’s role in lights has changed over time。
D解析:推理判断题。
根据第三段中的内容尤其是“green meant ‘caution’”“green became‘go’”可知,随着时间的变化,绿色在交通信号灯中所扮演的角色也发生了巨大的变化。
故选D。
4.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.The significance of road traffic signs.
B.The history of railroad transportation.
C.The symbolic meaning of different colors.
D.The origin and development of traffic lights。
D解析:主旨大意题.通读全文内容可知,本文主要讲述了交通信号灯的起源与发展,并解释了这三种颜色(红、黄、绿)的物理性质及为什么会被用作交通信号灯。
故D项最为全面地概括了文章的主要内容.
B
The summer I was ten, my mother decided to bring us to the world of art. My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what our mother meant. What she meant was not that we could take drawing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum。
Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting styles. It was almost as bad as being in school。
Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool?
First we had to read about ancient Egyptians and their strange ways of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum. My 12。
yearold brother thought this was so funny, but I was not interested。
Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Ages who painted people wearing strange long clothing. We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly(卷曲的) hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings。
I certainly couldn't see what was so great about art。
On our last visit to the museum, something happened when I saw a painting by a
woman called Mary. In it, a woman was reading to a child. The colors were soft and gentle, and you could tell by the mother's expression how happy she was just to be with the child。
I couldn’t stop looking at this painting! I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made! It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much。
【解题导语】本文讲述的是作者小时候被妈妈带到艺术博物馆去了解艺术的经历。
虽然是被迫去参观的,但是最后作者却对艺术产生了兴趣。
5.The aim of the mother’s plan was to ________.

"可知作者的妈妈的计划旨在向他们引荐艺术。
故选B。
6.What was the writer’s experience in the museum before the last visit?
A.She came to feel her mother’s love.
B.She liked many paintings。
C.She hardly enjoyed herself.
D.She could understand the pictures of fat babies。
C解析:推理判断题。
根据第一段的最后一句“Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool?”和第二段的最后一句“I certainly couldn't see what was so great about art。
”可知,作者并不想去博物馆.故选C。
7.What made the writer go through a change that summer?
A.One of Mary's paintings。
B.A strange way of painting。
C.Artists in the Middle Ages.
D.Her mother’s instruction。
A解析:细节理解题。
根据最后一段的“I couldn't stop looking at this painting!
I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made! It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much.”可知,Mary的一幅画改变了作者对艺术的看法。

(2018·江苏名校高三入学摸底)请阅读下面短文,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
A pair of British researchers said Monday they had worked out a simple equation (方程式) to quantify(量化) happiness that could put an exact figure on the emotional state。
After interviewing 1,000 people, the researchers concluded that happiness equals P + 5E + 3H。
In the equation, P stands for Personal Characteristics (outlook on life,adaptability and resilience); E for Existence (health, friendships and financial stability) and H represents Higher Order (self.esteem, expectations and ambitions).The researchers asked interviewees—a mix of men and women all over 18 years old—to choose five scenarios that made them more happy or less happy from a list of 80 different situations。
They also asked a series of questions about their own natures, outlook and situations。
Not surprisingly, the results showed that different people found happiness in different ways.

One possible version:
Two British researchers interviewed 1,000 people about their opinions on happiness and concluded happiness equals “P + 5E +3H”, a simple equation to quantify happiness。
And different people define happiness differently。
Happiness is something we are willing to commit all our lives to pursuing, without which life will be empty and meaningless. Nevertheless, people’s ideas on happiness vary from person to person。
Some think possessing a great deal of money is the secret to happiness, while others feel giving aid to others will make them happy.
I am in favor of the latter。
We can do our bit to help the needy so that they can also enjoy a colorful and significant life。
As for me, building up my body is high on the agenda。
Anyway, health is the secret to happiness and, I think, nothing is more important than it. Besides, we should maintain an optimistic attitude to life,which is a must for happiness。
In addition, happiness is not wishing for what we don’t
have, but cherishing what we do possess。
Hopefully, happiness is no doubt at hand.

One possible version:
Nowadays we are very familiar with Christmas, which foreigners will celebrate by sending cards and gifts, pretending as Santa Claus and listening to chorus in church。
It is accepted that Christmas has been brought into China and gradually developed into part of Chinese culture。
However, most of Chinese don't celebrate it exactly as foreigners do。
Their celebration has nothing to do with religion but they celebrate it in a different and special way. In their view, Christmas is a good chance for them to enjoy big meals and do the shopping madly。
In order to meet their needs of mad consumption, many supermarkets and restaurants especially provide their goods at a discount on that day,which results in their large sales。
As an originally religious festival, why should many Chinese spend it only by consuming madly instead of in a more meaningful way? This is the problem that many
of us should consider carefully.

(2018·南京四校联考)请阅读下面短文,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
My friend Maria and I got our degrees at the same time—hers in Engineering, mine in Mathematics。
These subjects, in case you aren't aware, are tough! There were classes we really had to struggle with, fight to get through, and survived only by digging our fingers in with everything we had。
Along the way, many of the people who started at the same time dropped out, changed majors, etc.They quit.Maria and I didn’t and we have degrees to show for it.
Maria and I came up with a saying,“We’re not quitters, we're failures!” We’d rather fail a class three times and eventually pass it than quit and resign ourselves to the idea that we “just can't get it”.That kind of sob story defeatism has to be removed from your mind。
While there are things that you can’t do—like flying via pixie dust—you can have most of the things you want in life, but only if you treat failure as a part of the learning process。
If you see failure as an end, that makes you a quitter。
