A. where B. of which C. in which D. whose 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查介词+关系代词。句意:巴黎市中心的圣母院发生大火,这建筑可以追溯到1163年。分析句子可知,本句为定语从句,先行词为Paris,在后面的定语从句中作宾语,而定语从句中的主语为the construction of ..,所以先行词作of的宾语。故B选项正确。 【点睛】定语从句中关系词的选择可考虑以下三点: (1) 一看先行词的意义,即分清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点还是原因(如指物时不能用who或whom,指人时通常不用which等。 (2) 二看关系词的句法功能,即分清关系词是担任什么句子成分,是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等(如作定语通常用whose,有时也用which;作状语要用when, where, why。 (3) 三看定语从句的种类,即分清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句(如that和why通常不引导非限制性定语从句。 分析句子可知,本句为定语从句,先行词为Paris,在后面的定语从句中作宾语,而定语从句中的主语为the construction of ..,所以先行词作of的宾语。故B选项正确。 4.So ______ to Coca-Cola that he can hardly go without it.

A. resembled B. resemble C. to resemble D. resembling 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查现在分词。句意:这种类似塑料的材料受热后会软化。分析句子可知,material of this kind与 resemble在逻辑上是主动关系,所以用现在分词作后置定语。故D选项正确。 【点睛】非谓语动词是考试考查的重点,要掌握它的用法。首先,要弄清楚填空处要填的是非谓语。其次,要知道非谓语动词的三种形式:现在分词表示主动进行、过去分词表示被动完成、动词不定式表示目的和将要。再次,要知道非谓语动作与谓语动作是同时发生还是先后发生,还是将要发生。 分析句子可知,material of this kind与 resemble在逻辑上是主动关系,所以用现在分词作后置定语。故D选项正确。 7.—Mary is not equal to the job, and neither is Mike. — I can’t agree more.

Why we’re excited for this: The first teaser trailer looks like a near recreation of the opening of the 1994 movie. We have a lot of faith in director Jon Favreau who brought the live-action version of “The Jungle Book” to the big screen. That movie earned nearly $1 billion at theaters. Artemis Fowl Release date: August 9, 2019 What it's about: The adaptation of the Eoin Colfer novels follows 12-year-old genius Artemis Fowl who comes from a family of criminal masterminds. Fowl finds himself face-to-face with a race of fairies who may have something to do with the mysterious disappearance of his father. Why we’re a bit reserved: Disney usually makes a big fuss over its trailer (预告片) releases. This will either be the start of the next “Harry Potter”-like franchise or a simple one-off if it underperforms. Frozen II Release date: Nov. 22, 2019 What it’s about: Disney Animation hasn’t released an official synopsis for the sequel to the 2013 hit, but we do know that Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, and Josh Gad will reprise their roles as Anna, Elsa, and Olaf, respectively. The film will also include new songs about the sisters. Why we’re interested: While the last “Frozen” short caused some backlash from fans, the sequel is in good hands with returning directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee and the Oscar-winning songwriting team of Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez. Star Wars: Episode IX Release date: Dec. 20, 2019 What it's about: Disney and Lucasfilm haven't released an official synopsis yet for the ninth “Star Wars” movie, but we know it will serve as a culmination of the Skywalker storyline and will include more of Carrie Fisher’s General Leia through previously unused footage. Why you should see it: Say what you will about mixed reviews of “The Last Jedi,” but if you’ve invested years watching the “Star Wars” saga, don’t you want to see how it all ends for Kylo Ren and Rey? Maybe we’ll learn who Rey’s parents are--or not! 36. What is the purpose of the poster? A. To confirm. B. To entertain. C. To comment. D. To inform. 37. Which of the following statements about the four films is TRUE? A. The Lion King: The adult version of Simba will be voiced by Donald Glover. B.

For one species, the pied flycatcher, a new study shows that some of its clan are proving to be remarkably adaptable. Upon returning to Europe from their African wintering grounds, the flycatchers time their egg-laying to the short period when juicy caterpillars (毛毛虫) are most abundant. During the past three decades this caterpillar peak has advanced by three weeks. Pied flycatchers initially had difficulty adjusting, but over time have started laying their eggs earlier to grab the caterpillars. Some, though, are doing a lot more to improve their reproductive chances of success, according to a study in the Journal of Avian Biology led by Christian Both of the University of Groningen, in the Netherlands. Like most bird species, pied flycatchers have long been thought to lay a single clutch of eggs during the breeding (繁殖) season. This was widely considered to be a trait that wouldn’t change. Then, in 2007, a Swiss team led by Dr Ravussin began to suspect that clutch numbers were flexible. They discovered a female pied flycatcher that immediately produced a second brood with a new male after raising an early set of chicks. Aware of Dr Ravussin’s findings, Dr Both wondered whether this was just a single, odd instance or if second broods might be happening on a larger scale driven by the arrival of earlier springs. So, they cooperate to delve into the data to find out. The team studied pied-flycatcher populations in the Netherlands and Switzerland that were known to be among the earliest nesting members of the species. In total, they tracked the egg-laying times and hatchling-rearing success of 8,848 breeding pairs in the Netherlands and1,372 in Switzerland between1980 and 2018. They found that since 2006, 11 cases of second broods were observed, all of them among the earliest breeders in both populations. Further studies ruled out that the birds were making up for a failed first attempt at raising chicks or that the second group of nestlings suffered. With no obvious downside to laying a double clutch, Drs Both and Ravussin conclude that the birds are attempting to double their annual reproductive output. While this behavior is still rare, they argue that if the tendency is driven by heritable genes (which it may well be) , then a succession of early springs could make the strategy much more common. 38. As to flycatchers, we can learn that __________. A. the population of caterpillars has no effect on their egg-laying time B. climate change is the main cause of their advancing egg-laying time C. they can only lay a single clutch of eggs during the breeding season D. they’re born with the ability of raising more than one group of chicks 39. Dr Ravussin and Dr Both may both agree that __________. A. flycatchers like to winter and lay eggs in the Netherlands and Switzerland B. flycatchers know how to make up for a failed first attempt at raising chicks C. flycatchers are making adaptations to double their annual reproductive output D. flycatchers, driven by heritable genes, return early from their wintering grounds 40. Which can be the most suitable title for the passage? A. More nests, more eggs B. Earlier spring, earlier breeding C. More caterpillars, less chances D. Later arrival, less output 【答案】38. B 39. C 40. B 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。鸟类学家最担心的问题之一是,气候变化将使鸟类的筑巢活动与养育小鸟的食物供应脱节。但研究发现鹟亚科食虫鸟具有非常强的适应环境型,它会随着春天的提前来到,在多汁毛虫数量最多的时候,提前产卵下蛋。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段“One of the great concerns that ornithologists have is that climate change will throw the nesting activities of birds out of sync (同步) with the availability of food for the raising of chicks.”以及第二段“Upon returning to Europe from their African wintering grounds, the flycatchers time their egg-laying to the short period when juicy caterpillars (毛毛虫) are most abundant. During the past three decades this caterpillar peak has advanced by three weeks.”可知,鸟类学家最担心的问题之一是,气候变化将使鸟类的筑巢活动与养育小鸟的食物供应脱节。从非洲越冬地返回欧洲后,鹟亚科食虫鸟把产卵时间定在多汁毛虫数量最多的一个短暂的时期内。在过去的30年中,毛毛虫数量的高峰期已经提前了三个星期。气候的变化导致春天的提前到来,也导致毛毛虫数量的高峰期已经提前了三个星期,而鹟亚科食虫鸟也会提前下蛋已获得食物的主要来源---毛毛虫。所以这一切最终是由气候变化所导致,故判断出,对于鹟亚科食虫鸟,我们可以了解到气候变化是它们产卵时间提前的主要原因。故B选项正确。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。由最后段“ Drs Both and Ravussin conclude that the birds are attempting to double their annual reproductive output”可知,DRS博士和Ravussin博士得出的结论是,鹟亚科食虫鸟正试图使它们的年繁殖量翻倍。所以DRS博士和Ravussin博士可能都同意鹟亚科食虫鸟正在进行适应性调整,使其每年的繁殖量增加一倍。故C选项正确。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,鸟类学家最担心的问题之一是,气候变化将使鸟类的筑巢活动与养育小鸟的食物供应脱节。但研究发现鹟亚科食虫鸟具有非常强的适应环境型,它会随着春天的提前来到,在多汁毛虫数量最多的时候,提前产卵下蛋。所以短文的最佳标题为“早春早育”。故B选项正确。 C Children who qualify for free school meals are twice as likely to be out of work in later life as their better off peers, and even when they get good qualifications at school, the employment gap remains, as a research has found. A report by Impetus, a charity that supports young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, found that 26% of those on free school meals (FSM) were not in education, employment, or training (Neet) after leaving school. In contrast, only 13% of non-FSM children ended up Neet. The study found that young people from disadvantaged backgrounds were less likely to get good qualifications, but even when they had the same qualifications as their better-off peers, they were still 50% more likely to be out of education and employment as other young adults. The research is based on analysis of longitudinal education outcomes data from the Department for Education, which reveals the impact of having a disadvantaged background on life chances and connects pupils’ school records with their employment. “Qualifications play a central role,” the report said, “and it is well known that disadvantaged young people have worse qualification outcomes than their better-off peers.” It added qualifications alone were not enough to explain the difference in Neet rates. “Disadvantaged young people are around 50% more likely to be Neet than their similarly qualified but better-off peers. This is true at all levels of qualifications and regardless of age. This means that half the gap in Neet rates can be explained by qualifications, but half cannot.” The study also showed how where you grow up affects your life chances—it found that a disadvantaged young person in north-east England is 50% more likely to end up Neet than a disadvantaged young person in London. Andy Ratcliffe, the CEO of Impetus, said: “We are breaking a fundamental promise to young people in this country. We tell them that study hard, get your qualifications and good jobs will follow. For many young people this is true. But for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds it isn’t. They are less likely to get those qualifications, and even when they do, less likely to benefit from them.” 41. Why did the author mention a report by Impetus in paragraph 2? A. To offer evidence. B. To make a comparison. C. To offer examples. D. To make criticism. 42. “People from disadvantaged backgrounds” refers to those __________. A. who are well off B. from urban areas C. from rural areas D. who are badly off 43. According to the study, young people from disadvantaged backgrounds __________. A. have a tendency to get good qualifications at school B. are mostly not in education, employment or training C. are more likely to be unemployed than wealthy peers D. have equal employment chances with similar qualifications 44. What does the author want to stress in the passage? A. The benefits of being wealthy. B. The existence of employment gap. C. The meaning of having qualifications. D. The importance of educational equality. 【答案】41. A 42. D 43. C 44. B 【解析】 【分析】 这是一篇新闻报道。一项研究表明,来自弱势背景的年轻人与来自富裕背景的年轻人相比,更容易成为不升学、不就业、不进修或参加就业辅导的社会族群。他们不可能获得较好的学历和资质,也不可能获得良好的就业机会。就业差距依然存在。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。由第二段“A report by Impetus, a charity that supports young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, found that 26% of those on free school meals (FSM) were not in education, employment, or training (Neet) after leaving school. In contrast, only 13% of non-FSM children ended up Neet.”可知,一家支持贫困家庭年轻人的慈善机构Impetus的一份报告表明,26%享受免费学校午餐的人在离开学校后更容易成为不升学、不就业、不进修或参加就业辅导的社会族群。相比之下,只有13%的非享受免费学校午餐的人在离开学校后成为不升学、不就业、不进修或参加就业辅导的社会族群。所以通过对比报告中的数据可以判断出,作者在第2段中提到了Impetus报告目的是提供证据以此支持上文中的研究结果。故A选项正确。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。由第三段“The study found that young people from disadvantaged backgrounds were less likely to get good qualifications, but even when they had the same qualifications as their better-off peers,”可知,研究发现,来自弱势背景的年轻人不太可能获得良好的学历,但是即使他们拥有与富裕同龄人相同的学历。所以通过关键词“ better-off peers”可以判断出,这是在对比穷人和富人。故“People from disadvantaged backgrounds”指的是穷人。故D选项正确。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段“they were still 50% more likely to be out of education and employment as other young adults”可知,他们与其他年轻人一样失去教育和就业的可能性仍高出50%。所以根据这项研究,来自弱势背景的年轻人比富裕的同龄人更有可能失业。故C选项正确。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文尤其是第一段“the employment gap remains”可知,一项研究表明,来自弱势背景的年轻人与来自富裕背景的年轻人相比,更容易成为不升学、不就业、不进修或参加就业辅导的社会族群。他们不可能获得较好的学历和资质,也不可能获得良好的就业机会。就业差距依然存在。所以作者在文章中想强调就业差距的存在。故B选项正确。 【点睛】通过对关键词的对比或者比较是解决推理判断题的重要解题方法,通过对事物的对比,能够判断出事物的不同点,差距等,意在突出对方的优点或者缺点。 由第三段“The study found that young people from disadvantaged backgrounds were less likely to get good qualifications, but even when they had the same qualifications as their better-off peers,”可知,研究发现,来自弱势背景的年轻人不太可能获得良好的学历,但是即使他们拥有与富裕同龄人相同的学历。所以通过关键词“ better-off peers”可以判断出,这是在对比穷人和富人。故“People from disadvantaged backgrounds”指的是穷人。故D选项为小题2的正确选项。 D Charles Dickens’ joy at first arriving in Boston Harbor in 1842 reads like Ebenezer Scrooge’s awakening on Christmas morning. Biographer Peter Ackroyd reports that he flew up the steps of the Tremont House Hotel, sprang into the hall and greeted a curious crowd with a bright “Here we are!” He took to the streets that twinkling midnight in his shaggy fur coat, shouting out the names on shop signs, pulling bell-handles of doors as he passed—excited with laughter—and even screamed with (one imagines) astonishment and delight at the sight of the old South Church. He had set at last upon the shores of “the Republic of my imagination.” Though not quite 30, Dickens was a literary rock star, the most famous writer in the world, who landed like a conquering hero in a country swept up in an extreme “Boz-o-mania”. He wrote to his best friend, John Forster, that he didn’t know how to describe “the crowds that pour in and out the whole day; of the people that line the streets when I went out; of the cheering when I went to the theatre; letters of congratulations, welcomes of all kinds, balls, dinners, assemblies without end.” When Bostonians renamed their city “Boz-town”, New Yorkers determined to “outdollar…and outshine them”. Their great Boz Ball boasted flags, flowers, a huge portrait of the author with a bald eagle overhead, 22 tableaux (场景) from the great author’s works. “If I should live to grow old,” Dickens said, “the scenes of this and other evenings will shine as brightly to my dull eyes 50 years hence as now.” ① The Spirit of the Times wrote of it: “This most extraordinary fashionable, brilliant, unique, eye-dazzling, heart-delighting, superb, foolish and ridiculous celebration…came off at the Park Theatre, New York, on Monday evening.” But, the reporter predicted, “Such were silly-minded Americans, and such the ridiculous respect paid to a foreigner, who will probably return home and write a book abusing the whole nation for the excesses of a few fools.” ② In fact, Dickens wrote two. ③ Apart from the country’s great writers, he found Americans ill-mannered and invading his privacy. “I am so surrounded by people that I am exhausted from want of air.” Dickens complained to Forster. “I go to church for quiet, and there is a violent rush to the neighborhood of the bench I sit in. I take my seat in a railroad car, and the very conductor won’t leave me alone. I can’t drink a glass of water without having a hundred people looking down my throat.” ④ He disliked Americans’ table manners and the tobacco spit everywhere he looked — on even the sidewalks of the nation’s capital, where he found party politics corrupting everything, its leaders “the lice (虱子) of God’s creation,” and “despicable (卑鄙的) trickery at elections.” Even worse, everyone wanted a piece of the action, from Tiffany’s selling unauthorized copies of his bust (半身像) , to a barber selling locks of his hair. “I never knew what it was to feel disgust and contempt (蔑视),” Dickens said, “till I traveled in America.” When he departed in June, he left behind all notions of an Arcadian realm he now regarded as “a vast counting house” full of nothing but “cheaters and bores.” (See: A Christmas Carol.) Americans had soured on him, too. Dickens never missed an opportunity to accuse American publishers of openly pirating his novels to sell for mere pennies, with no recompense to the author at all. The press took offense. Within a month of his arrival, Dickens were laughed at for his “foppish” clothing and effeminate hair, described as “no gentleman,” “a contemptible Cockney (伦敦佬).” 45. When Dickens arrived in America, he was __________. A. amused and cautious B. aggressive but disappointed C. content but stressed D. delighted and curious 46. From paragraph 2 and 3, we can learn __________. A. Americans went crazy and welcomed Dickens with open arms B. New Yorkers built a park theatre in honor of Dickens C. Americans went to Boston and New York to visit Dickens D. Americans all praised Dickens and his visit to America to the skies 47. Where can the sentence “His love affair with an idealized America was short-lived and hard-felt.”most probably be put? A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 48. Which of the following is a possible factor for the change in Dickens’s opinion on America? A. He stayed there too long and gradually lost interest. B. His prejudice against America accumulated over time. C. He finally found his American dream a reality rather than a fantasy. D. He found his experiences there in contradiction to previous imagination. 49. Which of the following is the correct order of the things that happened? a. Charles Dickens set foot in Boston Harbor. b. Dickens and Americans soured on each other. c. Dickens felt uncomfortable for excessive concern. d. Americans admired Dickens and treated him royally. e. Dickens became the most famous writer in the world. A. a—b—c—d—e B. e—a—d—c—b C. a—c—e—b—d D. e—a—c—d—b 50. Which of the following can best describe the relationship between Dickens and Americans? A. Faults are sick when love is thin. B. Beauty lies in the lover’s eyes. C. Love me little and love me long D. Hatred is blind as well as love. 【答案】45. D 46. A 47. C 48. D 49. B 50. A 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。狄更斯,一位文学界的摇滚巨星,空降到他向往已久的“共和国”——美国。这个国度没有负他,报他以万分的热情:各种光环与花团锦簇、献诗贺信、崇拜追捧……他却对美国生厌,甚至生恨。不满意达到两本书的厚度。短文介绍了狄更斯憎恨美国人的原因。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段“Charles Dickens’ joy at first arriving in Boston Harbor in 1842 reads like Ebenezer Scrooge’s awakening on Christmas morning. Biographer Peter Ackroyd reports that he flew up the steps of the Tremont House Hotel, sprang into the hall and greeted a curious crowd with a bright “Here we are!” He took to the streets that twinkling midnight in his shaggy fur coat, shouting out the names on shop signs, pulling bell-handles of doors as he passed—excited with laughter—and even screamed with (one imagines) astonishment and delight at the sight of the old South Church. He had set at last upon the shores of “the Republic of my imagination.”可知,1842年,狄更斯初到波士顿港时的无限喜悦之情,读来仿佛埃比尼泽·斯克鲁奇在圣诞节早上醒来时的心情一般。传记作者彼得·阿克罗伊德写道,他飞上特里蒙特饭店的台阶,跳进大堂,向好奇的人们欢快地招呼道,“我们见面啦!” 在那个繁星点点的夜半,他身着破旧的毛皮大衣,跑到街上,蹦蹦跳跳越过冻得硬邦邦的雪,叫嚷着店铺招牌的名字,不时拉一拉街边的门铃把手——他笑得很开心人们以为)他见到老南教堂时,甚至满是惊奇、喜悦地大喊起来。他终于来到“想象中的共和国”的岸上了。所以狄更斯来到美国时高兴又好奇。故D选项正确。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段和第三段“He wrote to his best friend, John Forster, that he didn’t know how to describe “the crowds that pour in and out the whole day; of the people that line the streets when I went out; of the cheering when I went to the theatre; letters of congratulations, welcomes of all kinds, balls, dinners, assemblies without end.” When Bostonians renamed their city “Boz-town”, New Yorkers determined to “outdollar…and outshine them”. Their great Boz Ball boasted flags, flowers, a huge portrait of the author with a bald eagle overhead, 22 tableaux (场景) from the great author’s works. The Spirit of the Times wrote of it: “This most extraordinary, fashionable, brilliant, unique, eye-dazzling, heart-delighting, superb, foolish and ridiculous celebration…came off at the Park Theatre, New York, on Monday evening.”。可知,一整天里涌进涌出的人群;我出门时街上排队看我的人;我去戏院时人们的欢呼;各种献诗、贺信,各种欢迎,无尽的舞会、晚宴、聚会。”后来,波士顿人干脆把他们的城市改名为“博兹城”,这下,纽约人也坐不住了,他们决心“花更多钱……以更高规格接待”狄更斯。纽约的博兹厅里,满眼都是旗帜、鲜花、彩带、花环,还有一幅头顶上方盘旋着秃鹫的巨幅作者画像,屋顶上垂下用镀金绳链悬挂的枝形吊灯,厅中更是安放了来自这位伟大作家作品的22个经典场景。《时代精神》这样写道,“这场非凡、时尚、耀眼、独特、怪诞、妩媚、诱人、迷惑、炫目、喜乐、超级、愚蠢、荒唐的盛宴……于上周一晚,在纽约公园剧院举行。所以从第二段和第三段,我们可以了解到美国人疯狂地张开双臂欢迎狄更斯。故A选项正确。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。由倒数第四段“Apart from the country’s great writers, he found Americans ill-mannered and invading his privacy. “I am so surrounded by people that I am exhausted from want of air.” Dickens complained to Forster. “I go to church for quiet, and there is a violent rush to the neighborhood of the bench I sit in. I take my seat in a railroad car, and the very conductor won’t leave me alone. I can’t drink a glass of water without having a hundred people looking down my throat.”可知,除了大作家们之外,他感觉其他美国人都是恶臭、无礼,且常常侵犯他的隐私。“我被人们重重包围,连喘息的空档都没有。”狄更斯向福斯特抱怨说,“我想去教堂里安静一会儿,立刻就有一堆人猛冲到我坐的椅子附近。我在火车车厢里刚坐下,检票员就拉住我不放。我喝杯水,也得有上百人盯着我的嗓子看。”在乘汽船去大湖区的途中,他起床洗漱,妻子还在熟睡,却有一群人隔着船舱玻璃往里窥视。所以本段主要在说明狄更斯他与理想化了的美国的这场恋爱,短命而又难受。也就是③处本段的标题所要表达的内容。故“His love affair with an idealized America was short-lived and hard-felt”应放在③处。故C选项正确。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。由第一段最后一句“He had set at last upon the shores of “the Republic of my imagination.”可知终于来到“想象中的共和国”的岸上了。以及倒数四段可知,而当他呆了一段时间之后去发现,他感觉其他美国人都是恶臭、无礼,且常常侵犯他的隐私。国人缺乏餐桌礼仪,而且他目光所及之处,都是人们嚼烟草后吐的口水——即便这国家首都的人行道上也都是唾迹斑。更糟糕的是,每个人都想从狄更斯身上揩油。美国人也开始憎恶他了。所以他在美国的经历与他以前所想象的美国完全不是一个样子。故判断出他在美国的经历与以前的想象自相矛盾可能是狄更斯对美国看法转变的一个因素。故D选项正确。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段“Though not quite 30, Dickens was a literary rock star, the most famous writer in the world, ”第一段“Charles Dickens’ joy at first arriving in Boston Harbor in 1842 ”第二段“He wrote to his best friend, John Forster, that he didn’t know how to describe “the crowds that pour in and out the whole day; of the people that line the streets when I went out; of the cheering when I went to the theatre; letters of congratulations, welcomes of all kinds, balls, dinners, assemblies without end.” When Bostonians renamed their city “Boz-town”, New Yorkers determined to “outdollar…and outshine them”. Their great Boz Ball boasted flags, flowers, a huge portrait of the author with a bald eagle overhead, 22 tableaux (场景) from the great author’s works.”倒数第四段“he found Americans ill-mannered and invading his privacy”以及最后段“Americans had soured on him, too”可知,那时,他年不满30,却已是文学界的摇滚巨星,世界最有名的作家。1842年,狄更斯初到波士顿港时的无限喜悦之情。美国人崇拜他,像国王一样地招待他。狄更斯对过分的关心感到不安。美国与狄更斯开始憎恶彼此。故B选项是事情发生的正确顺序。故B选项正确。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知,狄更斯,一位文学界的摇滚巨星,空降到他向往已久的“共和国”——美国。这个国度没有负他,报他以万分的热情:各种光环与花团锦簇、献诗贺信、崇拜追捧……他却对美国生厌,甚至生恨。不满意达到两本书的厚度。所以A选项“一朝情义淡,样样不顺眼”最能描述美国人和狄更斯的关系。故A选项正确。 第II卷(非选择题,共35分) 第四部分 任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) 请阅读下面短文,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。 注意:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。 A fresh-faced batch of teenagers just began a new school year, but will they get the most out of it? In the mornings, many are forced to get to school much too early. And at night, screens are a temptation that’s hard to resist. This double whammy (双重灾难) is a perfect lesson in sleep deprivation (剥夺). Three out of every four students in grades 9 to 12 fail to sleep the minimum of eight hours that the American Academy of Medicine recommends for their age group. In most cases, insufficient sleep results in reduced attention, preventing students’ progress and lowering grades. More alarmingly, sleep deprivation may lead to physical and emotional problems. It is important to understand why teenagers have a particularly hard time getting enough sleep, and what adults need to do to help. First, a reminder of the basic biology: Adolescents are no longer the morning larks of their younger years. They become rewired as night owls, staying awake later and then sleeping in. This is mostly driven by changes in the way the brain responds to light. New technology habits aren’t helping. More teenagers now turn to activities involving screens at night. The growth in screen time is particularly problematic for sleep. The blue light emitted by LEDs, TVs, tablets and smartphones suppresses the body’s secretion (分泌) of melatonin, the hormone that signals it’s time to sleep. Overdosing on screens at night effectively tells the brain it’s still daytime, delaying the body’s cues to sleep even further. Parents should inform their kids of the time that can be spent on screens, and praise children who show signs of regulating their own media consumption. In the hour before bedtime, there should be a suspension on bright lights in the home, avoiding devices and harsh LED bulbs in kitchens and bathrooms. In 2016, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended that middle and high schools start no earlier than 8:30 a.m., a policy now backed by the American Medical Association and many other health organizations. Parents also need to join forces with community leaders, sleep scientists, health professionals and educators to put school start times on the local, then state agendas. Whenever schools have managed the transition to a later start time, students get more sleep, attendance goes up, grades improve and there is a significant reduction in car accidents.

I call it wonder, for those moments where a story — no matter how strange — has some semblance (样子) of truth, and then you’re able to believe it. It’s not just kids who can get there. Adults can too, and we get there when we read. It’s why people will take the walking tour of Bloomsday and see everything that happened in Ulysses. Or people visit Baker Street to see Sherlock Holmes’ apartment. We know these characters aren’t real, but we have real feelings about them. There is a word called metafiction (超小说) and that’s just stories about stories. And one metafictive technique is breaking the fourth wall. If I am going to break down the fourth wall, I want fiction to escape and come into the real world. I want a book to be a secret door that opens and lets stories out into reality. 【写作内容】 1.用约30个单词概述上文的主要内容; 2.用约120个单词发表你对好书的看法,内容包括: (1)好书的影响表现在哪些方面; (2)就如何挑选一本好书,给出2-3个建议 【写作要求】 1.写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句; 2.作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称; 3.不必写标题 【评分标准】 内容完整,语言规范,语篇规范,词数适当 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A good book can open a secret door to a weird and wonderful world where a soul can experience what it might have no access to otherwise in the real world, helping readers to grow.
