Check out these kids who’ve built big businesses while doing homework.‎ Benjamin “ Kickz” Kapelushnik，Sneaker Don Benjamin was just 15 when he decided to turn his passion for sneakers into a business， dealing in hard-to-get，limited edition shoes. He started out by paying friends to stand in line when new shoes were released but now has connections with retailers(零售商）to help him get the most sought-after shoes in large numbers for Sneaker Don. He currently counts star athletes and musicians，including DJ Khaled and P. Diddy，among his clientele.‎ Mikaila Ulmer, Me and the Bees One of the most well-known kid CEOs is Me and the Bees Mikaila Ulmer，who was just four years old when she became fascinated by bees—and was gifted with her great grandmother's recipe for flaxseed lemonade。After getting her start selling her lemonade at youth entrepreneurial events，you can now find her honey-sweetened BeeSweet lemonade in Whole Foods. A portion of the proceeds from her lemonade business ‎ goes to environmental groups.‎ Alina Morse，Zollipops Seven-year-old Alina was tired of having to turn down lollipops at the bank and other places because the candy wasn’t good for her teeth. She and her dad worked on a lollipop that’s sugar-free—and can actually help reduce the amount of acid in your mouth after a meal to reduce the chances of tooth decay. And that’s how Zollipops was born. The company has expanded to create Zolli Drops hard candies and Zaffi Taffy for a chewier treat.‎ Maxine Marcus，The Ambassador Company Unlike many young CEOs, 17-year-old Maxine Marcus built a service, not a product. Her company, The Ambassador Company，helps big companies and brands understand the teen viewpoint—and ensures that their efforts to connect with them succeed. See the most ironic items ever invented.‎ ‎1. Who is the youngest CEO?‎ A. Benjamin “Kickz” Kapelushnik. B. Mikaila Ulmer.‎ C. Alina Morse. D. Maxine Marcus.‎ ‎2. How does Benjamin make money?‎ A.

A ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了一些一边求学，一边在生意上取得成功的孩子。‎ ‎【1题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由Mikaila Ulmer, Me and the Bees中的“One of the most well-known kid CEOs is Me and the Bees Mikaila Ulmer，who was just four years ”可知，Mikaila Ulme只有四岁，是最年轻的CEO。故选B项。‎ ‎【2题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由Benjamin “ Kickz” Kapelushnik，Sneaker Don中“dealing in hard-to-get, limited edition shoes”可知，Benjamin经营难买的限量版运动鞋。所以本杰明是通过销售难以买到的限量版运动鞋来赚钱。故选C项。‎ ‎【3题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由Maxine Marcus，The Ambassador Company中的”Unlike many young CEOs, 17-year-old Maxine Marcus built a service, not a product“可知，与许多年轻的CEO不同，17岁的Maxine Marcus销售的是服务，而不是产品。所以Maxine Marcus和其他年轻的CEO不同之处在于她的公司销售的是服务而不是产品。故选A项。‎ B Last week, my wife and I took possession of this beauty，3-story country house in Pelham, New York. We haven't moved yet： the place is badly in need of renovation(翻新），which will happen a lot more quickly if our stuff isn't in the way. We still own our NYC co-op，and it won't close until July or August. We intend to get every last day of city living that we can.‎ But now seems as good a time as any to put the blog on hold—a step I've been considering for a while. I've posted 1,010 restaurant reviews in just over 11 years，which averages out to nearly two reviews per week，for roughly a decade. That’s an awfully long time. In recent months, it has felt more like a burden, and less of the joy it originally was.‎ Of course, that burden came entirely from myself: this blog has never accepted advertising. No one's livelihood—and certainly not mine—depended on its existence. Yet， having created this tiny space in my little corner of the Internet，with a very small but rather appreciative (and appreciated) amount of loyal readers，for a long time I fell I have to keep it going.‎ But my free time over the next several months will be increasingly taken up with ‎ a complex renovation, moving house，getting to know a new neighborhood, and a quite different lifestyle than I've been accustomed to. Something needs to be edited out? to make room for all that，and the blog is it.‎ If our move to the suburbs provides a convenient excuse, I might have reached the same decision earlier before that ： the sense that my food blogging had fallen into stereotypes (陈词烂调）was in my mind even before we started house-hunting, although it certainly became more clear after that. I think I'm going to enjoy dining out for its own sake，as it used to be: no more photos，no more “writing the review” in my head as I eat.‎ One thing that hasn’t changed is the pleasure of dining out which I love as much as ever. My wife and I intend to keep up our weekly Manhattan “date nights”. I still work in the city， and Pelham isn't all that far away—one of the reasons we chose it.‎ Will the blog return after we’re settled in our new home? Surely not with the frequency it has been，and perhaps not at all. As I write this, I’m feeling like I won’t miss it.‎ ‎4. What’s NOT the reason for the author to put his blog on hold?‎ A. He is moving to the countryside and doesn’t have enough time.‎ B. It has brought him more burden than joy.‎ C. This blog hasn’t received any advertising profit, which made him disappointed.‎ D. Food blogging lacks creativity for him and he wants to enjoy the pure joy of dining out.‎ ‎5. Where did the author’s burden of running the blog come from?‎ A. He depended on the blog to make a living.‎ B. He felt it his responsibility not to let his loyal readers down.‎ C. His free time has been increasingly occupied with other stuff.‎ D. He found it hard to adapt to a different lifestyle.‎ ‎6. What can we infer from this passage?‎ A. The author will soon continue his blog after he settles in his new home.‎ B. The author will not continue his blog after he settles in his new home.‎ C. The author hasn’t decided whether to continue his blog even after he settles in his new home.‎ D. The author has decided to decrease the frequency of posting the blog after he settles in his new home.‎ ‎7. Where can you most probably find this passage?‎ A. A personal blog. B. A fashion magazine.‎ C. A scientific report. D. A travel brochure.‎ ‎【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. A ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇应用文。这篇短文是一名餐馆评论博主因私决定暂停更新博客的告知书。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由第三段“Of course, that burden came entirely from myself: this blog has never accepted advertising.”可知，当然，这个压力完全来自我自己：这个博客从来没有不接广告。所以C选项“这个博客没有得到任何广告利润，这使他失望”不是作者停止更新博客的原因而是成为作者感到压力的原因。故选C项。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由第三段Yet， having created this tiny space in my little corner of the Internet，with a very small but rather appreciative amount of loyal readers，for a long time I fell I have to keep it going“”可知，然而，作者在互联网的一个小角落里创造了这个小小的空间，拥有非常少但相当忠实的读者，很长一段时间作者觉得自己必须继续坚持下去。所以作者感到压力的原因来自于作者不忍心让忠实的读者失望。故选B项。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 推理判断题。由最后一段“Will the blog return after we’re settled in our new home? Surely not with the frequency it has been, and perhaps not at all.”可知，作者安顿新家后，博客还会更新吗？当然不会像以前那样频繁地更新，也许根本不更新。所以通过关键词“Surely not with the frequency ，perhaps not at all.”可以判断出，作者并不确定以后是否继续更新博客。故选C项。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，这篇短文是一名餐馆评论博主因私决定暂停更新博客的告知书。所以作者所面对的对象是关注他博客的这些粉丝们。故判断出这篇短文极有可能出现在私人博客上。故选A项。‎ ‎【点睛】抓住特定信息进行逆向或者正向推理。做此类试题要善于抓住某一段话中的关键信息，即某些关键词或短语去分析、推理、判断，利用逆向思维或正面推理，从而推断出这句话所隐含的深层含义。‎ 由最后一段“Will the blog return after we’re settled in our new home? Surely not with the frequency it has been, and perhaps not at all.”可知，作者安顿新家后，博客还会更新吗？当然不会像以前那样频繁地更新，也许根本不更新。所以通过关键词“Surely not with the frequency ，perhaps not at all.”可以判断出，作者并不确定以后是否继续更新博客。故小题3选C项。‎ C The first thing you should know about Nightfood, a new “sleep-friendly” ice cream，is that it's a genius idea. There are certainly still some doubts whether it actually works. But many people have trouble sleeping, and many people love eating ice cream，and the possibility of cookies-and-cream-flavored Ambien (一种助眠药), even though that's not exactly how the product functions，is going to be irresistible to people with sleep problems everywhere.‎ ‎“Part of me is like，I’m jealous I’m not part of this marketing programme,” said Raj Dasgupta，assistant professor of clinical medicine specializing in sleep at Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. “They knew exactly how to appeal to customers.”‎ You could eat Nightfood any time of day without feeling sleepy，but the product is designed for sleep because surveys have shown one of the most common times people tuck into a pint of ice cream is at night, probably while watching Netflix. But can junk food really solve your sleep problems? Probably not, Dasgupta said.‎ The best way to improve your sleep is to practice good sleep hygiene: have a set bedtime and wake time every day，avoid caffeine and screens late at night, and, uh, do not eat within two hours of your bedtime. But our willpower fails us in the ‎ face of a “Russian Doll” binge with a pint of mint chocolate chip.‎ ‎“They know no one is going to listen to this advice，so，might as well cater to (迎合) them,” Dasgupta said. Sugary snacks “are the no-no foods you don’t want someone to eat before bed. If they’re going to eat it anyway，I’d rather they grab the nutritious one rather than the Twinkie or the cupcake.”‎ And here's the thing： It actually tastes really good. Unlike other “functional” ice creams that boast of higher protein and lower sugar and fat, Nightfood uses real sugar — no alternative .sweeteners. There is milk and cream in it. It has fewer calories than your typical pint，but you would hardly know it from the texture or taste.‎ Nightfood is not the only sleep-friendly product on the market. There are also several carbonated sleep drinks, including Som and Neuro Sleep. They might help a bit, but Dasgupta cautions that sleep-promoting foods are not a cure-all.‎ ‎“You’re not just going to start eating this food and get great sleep. There's other things that go into it, too,” like your overall health, stress level and the amount of time you spend aimlessly scrolling through Twitter in bed.‎ ‎8. What does Raj Dasgupta mean by saying “Part of me is like，I’m jealous I’m not part of this marketing programme”？‎ A. The idea of the new “sleep-friendly” ice cream is wonderful.‎ B. He wanted to be part of a marketing programme.‎ C. He envied the profit that workers in the ice cream marketing made.‎ D. He wanted to work as an advertiser instead of a doctor.‎ ‎9. What can we know from this passage?‎ A. People often turned to ice cream before bed.‎ B. Nightfood doesn’t taste as good as other ice creams.‎ C. Nightfood uses only a little alternative sweeter.‎ D. Nightfood can keep you awake all the time.‎ ‎10. What's NOT a good way to improve people's sleep，according to the passage?‎ A. To have a set bedtime and wake time every day,‎ B. To avoid caffeine and screens late at night C. Not to eat within two hours of bedtime.‎ D. To eat a NightPood before going to bed. .‎ ‎11. What’s the best title of this passage?‎ A. Nightfood, a delicious ice cream B. Nightfood, a cure for insomniac C. Nightfood, a replacement for sugary snacks D. Nightfood, a healthy likely sleep-helper ‎【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. D ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了Nightfood这种冰淇淋，它的卖点是有助于睡眠。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 推理判断题。由第一段“ a new “sleep-friendly” ice cream，is that it's a genius idea”第二段“Part of me is like，I’m jealous I’m not part of this marketing programme” They knew exactly how to appeal to customers”可知，一种有助于睡眠的冰激凌的这个想法真是一个天才的想法，作者很嫉妒自己没有参与这个营销计划，作者认为“他们完全知道如何吸引顾客”。所以通过说“Part of me is like，I’m jealous I’m not part of this marketing programme”可以判断出，作者认为有助睡眠的冰淇淋这个创意太棒了。故选A项。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由第三段“because surveys have shown one of the most common times people tuck into a pint of ice cream is at night”可知，因为调查显示，人们最常见在晚上时间吃冰激凌。所以从这篇文章我们能知道人们经常在睡前吃冰淇淋。故选A项。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 细节理解题。本题用排除法。由第四段“The best way to improve your sleep is to practice good sleep hygiene: have a set bedtime and wake time every day，avoid caffeine and screens late at night, and, uh, do not eat within two hours of your bedtime”可知，促进睡眠的最好方法是保持良好的睡眠习惯。设定一个固定的睡觉时间和起床时间，避免在深夜摄入咖啡因和看电子产品的屏幕，睡前两小时内不要进食。所以D选项“睡觉前吃Nightfood ”不是促进睡眠的好方法。故选D项。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是第一段“But many people have trouble sleeping, and many people love eating ice cream，and the possibility of cookies-and-cream-flavored Ambien (一种助眠药), even though that's not exactly how the product functions，is going to be irresistible to people with sleep problems everywhere.”可知，但很多人睡觉困难时喜欢吃冰激凌，这种饼干奶油混合口味的助眠药对有睡眠问题的人来说，将是不可抗拒的。所以本文主要介绍了Nightfood这种冰淇淋是健康的睡眠助手。所以短文的最佳标题为 “Nightfood这种冰淇淋是健康的睡眠助手”。故选D项。‎ D Artificial intelligence (AI) has grown into a hot spot industry in recent years，and it has witnessed an increasing number of start-up projects and expanding financing. However, the prospering trend in the field may hit a wall in 2019.‎ According to a white paper regarding the AI industry released last July by the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Economy and Information Technology? China is home to 4,040 AI companies at present. However，70 percent of the firms have failed to receive venture capital (风险投资）.‎ In this regard，it's fair enough to say that this year might bring about a cold winter for the industry，at least for those selling “fake” AI technologies.‎ ‎“It’s becoming hard for AI technologies to be applied in the market and 90 percent of the start-ups in this industry may fail if proper fields of application are not found,”said Ai Yu, Managing Director of China Everbright Limited，a Hong Kong-based financial services company.‎ Experts said that AI will see a larger application in people's work and life this year，and core sectors such as AI chips will become more and more professional, making it difficult for entry into this industry.‎ Large numbers of AI start-ups have been popping up in China, and some of them are leading the world in facial recognition，autopilot and natural language interaction，said Liu Jiong，chairman of the board of Lanting Capital, a cross-border, medical focused strategic consulting and investment firm.‎ However, there still are many AI firms that haven't found proper methods to make ‎ 、 money，which is an issue that the Chinese AI industry must face in the future.‎ ‎“Given the current money shortage in the capital market，a large number of companies will be gradually knocked out because of their relatively weak technical strength, ” said Liu Wanqing，venture partner of DayWin Asset Management. According to him, those backed by powerful technologies are expected to embrace sound development.‎ Insiders noted that more and more companies were calling themselves AI firms with the inflow of large amount of money into the AI industry, but it still couldn’t hide the fact that many of them were knocked off. Blindness and aimless investment would only hold back the healthy development of the industry, and the only way for sustained development is to smash the “bubbles” first.‎ ‎12. What does the underlined expression “hit the wall” in paragraph 1 mean?‎ A. Come to a stop. B. Experience difficulties.‎ C. Grow into a popular industry. D. Expand financially.‎ ‎13. Which is the issue that the Chinese AI industry must face in the future?‎ A. Large numbers of AI companies have been appearing in China.‎ B. Some companies are leading the world.‎ C. AI firms haven’t found proper methods to make money.‎ D. A large number of AI companies will be knocked out.‎ ‎14. Which companies are likely to have a better future?‎ A. Companies with powerful technologies. B. Companies with large investments.‎ C. Leading AI companies. D. Sustained developing companies.‎ ‎15. What’s the best title for this passage?‎ A. The development of Chinese AI technology B. China be home to many AI companies C. Chinese AI companies face a cold winter D. The future of Chinese AI technologies ‎【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇新闻报道。短文报道了中国人工智能已发展成为一个热点产业，创业项目不断增多，融资规模不断扩大。不过，这一领域的繁荣趋势可能在2019年面临着发展困难的问题。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 词句猜测题。由第三段“this year might bring about a cold winter for the industry”可知，今年可能会给这个行业带来一个寒冷的冬天。所以通过上下文语境可以判断出，第1段划线的“hit the wall”是Experience difficulties“遇到困难”的意思。故选B项。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由第七段“However, there still are many AI firms that haven’t found proper methods to make money, which is an issue that the Chinese AI industry must face in the future.”可知，然而，仍有许多人工智能企业没有找到合适的赚钱方法，这是中国人工智能产业未来必须面对的问题。所以中国人工智能产业未来必须面对的问题是人工智能公司还没有找到合适的赚钱方法。故选C项。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由短文倒数第二段“ those backed by powerful technologies are expected to embrace sound development.”可知，那些有强大技术支持的公司有望获得良好的发展。所以拥有强大技术的公司可能拥有更好的未来。故选A项。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是第一段“However, the prospering trend in the field may hit a wall in 2019和第三段“ this year might bring about a cold winter for the industry”可知，中国人工智能这一领域的繁荣趋势可能在2019年面对着发展困难的问题。2019年可能会给这个行业带来一个寒冷的冬天。所以短文的最佳标题为“中国人工智能企业面临寒冬”。故选C项。‎ ‎【点睛】由上下文语境是解决词义猜测题的重要解题方法。划线词的意思往往是我们要猜测的意思。我们可以通过已知的上下文的词汇或者句子来猜测未知的意思。‎ 由第三段“this year might bring about a cold winter for the industry”可知，今年可能会给这个行业带来一个寒冷的冬天。所以通过上下文语境可以判断出，第1段划线的“hit the wall”是Experience difficulties“遇到困难”的意思。故小题3选B项。‎ 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分3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。‎ The Lantern Festival, a traditional Chinese festival, is celebrated on the 15th day of the first lunar month.

A ‎ ‎20. C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了中国的元宵节。‎ ‎16题详解】‎ 由上句“The Lantern Festival, a traditional Chinese festival, is celebrated on the 15th day of the first lunar month. And it falls on Tuesday this year”可知，元宵节是中国的传统节日，农历正月十五是元宵节。今年元宵节是星期二。所以小题1要承接上文，在时间上说明它是新年的延续。故G选项“它是庆祝春节的延续”切题。故选G项。‎ ‎【17题详解】‎ 由下句“But during the Lantern Festival, it is a tradition that all people including those young women，come out for lantern shows”可知，但是在元宵节，这是所有人的传统，包括未出嫁的女子都要出来观花灯。所以通过“but”可以判读出，所以小题2要与后一句为转折关系。故F选项“在古代，年轻的女子，特别是大家闺秀，很少走出家门”切题。故选F项。‎ ‎【18题详解】‎ 由上句“People hang lanterns everywhere, in their house or in the streets, which depict various characters, like flying birds, leaping fishes, and shining fireworks, showing an atmosphere of joy”可知，人们在家里或街上到处挂上灯笼，上面画着飞鸟、飞鱼、焰火等各种各样的人物，表现出欢乐的气氛。所以小题3要总结性地说明几乎所有的人都会出来欣赏这美丽的景色以此说明元宵节的热闹场面。故D选项“几乎所有的人都会出来欣赏这美丽的景色”切题。故选D项。‎ ‎【19题详解】‎ 由标题“ Dragon lantern dance”可知，本段在介绍元宵节的活动之一龙灯舞。所以小题4要说明龙在中国文化中的象征意义。故A选项“中国人把龙视为吉祥的象征”切题。故选A项。‎ ‎【20题详解】‎ 由下句“The stuffing includes bean paste, sugar，hawthorn and various kinds of fruit and so on”可知，馅料包括豆沙、糖、山楂等各种水果。所以小题5要说明元宵的皮儿是什么制成的和后一句一同说明元宵的组成。故C选项“元宵是用糯米做成的，要么是实心的，要么是馅的。”切题。故选C项。‎ ‎【点睛】找出句子之间的连接性的词语是解决7选5题型的重要解题方法， 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“But during the Lantern Festival, it is a tradition that all people including those young women，come out for lantern shows”可知，但是在元宵节，这是所有人的传统，包括未出嫁的女子都要出来观花灯。所以通过“but”可以判读出，小题2要与后一句为转折关系。故F选项“在古代，年轻的女子，特别是大家闺秀，很少走出家门”切题。故小题2选F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）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ I settled into my seat in the audience at Good Morning America and stared down ‎ at the shoes I was wearing, My little sister’s shoes.
