The truck was also the only means of transportation for us.(我们花了几乎所有的钱把它修好。卡车也是我们唯一的交通工具)”可知,作者家里的生活是贫穷的。由此可知,划线单词所在句表示的是“许多年前,当我们还是一对年轻夫妇,有两个小孩,分别是2

33、 who had been so generous in helping a struggling young family. Whoever it was, we are forever grateful.(尽管我们无法感谢我们的捐赠者,因为我们从来没有发现谁曾经如此慷慨地帮助一个挣扎的年轻家庭。不管是谁,我们永远感激)”可知,文章讲述了许多年前,作者的家庭贫困,这时有人在作者家后门那儿放了一大篮子食物,这对一个挣扎的年轻家庭来说,是最及时的帮助,作者也表达了对捐赠者的感激之情。“A helping hand in time”意为“及时伸出援助之手”,能够概括文章主要内容。故选C项。CNex

58、 emojis, reaction gifs, links and even voice messages can be a more attractive option.”(当然,这种转变在很大程度上是由于更多的交流选择:用照片、视频、表情符号、反应动图、链接甚至语音信息发短信可能是更有吸引力的选择。)可知,正是因为人们有了更多的交流选择,使得传统的电话失去其对人们的吸引力。选项D与文意相符,故选D。2.词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段中“With smartphones, “we have gained mobility and privacy. ”(有了智能手机,我们获得了移动性和隐私。)及“

60、uke Fernandez,”(“共享的家庭电话充当了给以安全感的物品。”卢克 费尔南德斯说,)最后两句“With smartphones, “we have gained mobility and privacy.

61、动性和隐私。但是家庭的价值已经减少了,因为它能够引导和监控家庭行为,也许还能把家庭更紧密地联系在一起。” )据此可推断,手机的普遍应用,能够引导和监控家庭行为,也许还能把家庭更紧密地联系在一起。即手机的使用已经影响了家庭关系。选项C与文意相符,故选C。4.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Of course, as technology progresses, lives always change for better or for worse. With the loss of telephone culture, families will need to find other ways to
62、unite.”(当然,随着科技的进步,生活总是变得更好或更坏。随着电话文化的丧失,家庭将需要寻找其他方式来团结。)可知,前文讲述人们有了更多的交流选择,使得传统电话失去了其对人们的吸引力。这种变化同样使得家庭将需要寻找其他方式来团结。所以,本文主要讲述的是传统电话文化的衰落。选项A与文意相符,故选A。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。The Greeks and Romans named most of the planets in the solar system after particular g
63、ods, and we have kept those names in English. Uranus and Neptune, unknown in classical times, were named by the modern astronomers who discovered them, but still after Greek and Roman gods. _16_.The word “earth” has roots in the Old English term “eore”. Eore had multiple meanings like “soil”, “dirt”
64、, “ground”, “dry land” and “country”. Old English, used until about 1150, is the earliest known phase of what became our modern English tongue. _17_. Old English evolved from a parent language that scholars call “Proto-Germanic”.German thats spoken today is part of the same linguistic (语言学的) family.
65、 “Earth” and “eore” are therefore related to the modern German word “Erde”. Not only is this the German languages name for our home planet, but it can also be used to refer to dirt and soil._18_. For example, theres the Old Saxon “ertha”, the Old Frisian “erthe” and the Dutch word “aarde”. All these
66、 likely come from a Proto-Germanic term that was never recorded, as far as we know._19_. But if a single person gave planet Earth its English name which is unlikely his or her identity has been lost to the sands of time.Still, its clear that while Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Ne

68、onder which god or goddess Earth is named afterF. Since its not clear how Earth was namedG. Nobody knows when people started using words like “Earth” or “Erde” to refer to our planet【答案】16. B 17. A 18. D 19. G 20. C【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了地球名称的由来。【16题详解】根据前文“The Greeks and Romans named most of the plan
69、ets in the solar system after particular gods, and we have kept those names in English.( 希腊人和罗马人用特定的神,给太阳系中的大多数行星命名,在英语中我们一直保持着那些名字)”可知,太阳系中的大多数行星的命名是用特定的神命名的。下文“The word “earth” has roots in the Old English term “eore”.(“earth”这个词起源于古英语“eore”) ”说明earth并非源于神,而是源于古英语,所以空白处讲earth为一个例外。B选项However, Eart
70、h is the one exception(然而,earth是唯一的例外)符合题意,故选B。【17题详解】根据前文“The word “earth” has roots in the Old English term “eore”.(“earth”这个词起源于古英语“eore”)”和下文“Old English evolved from a parent language that scholars call “Proto-Germanic”.( 古英语是由学者们称之为“原日耳曼语”的母语演变而来的)”可知,空白处说明的“earth”这个词的来源并非是古英语里自带的,即源于古英语的母语。A选
71、项Yet the story didnt begin there.(然而故事并不是从那里开始的)符合题意,故选A。【18题详解】根据前文“Earth” and “eore” are therefore related to the modern German word “Erde”. Not only is this the German languages name for our home planet, but it can also be used to refer to dirt and soil.(因此,“earth”和“eore”与现代德语单词“ Erde”有关。这不仅是德语对我
72、们家园星球的称呼,也可以用来指代土壤和泥土)”和下文“For example, theres the Old Saxon “ertha”, the Old Frisian “erthe” and the Dutch word “aarde”. (例如,有古撒克逊语“ertha”,古弗里斯兰语“erthe”和荷兰语“aarde”)”可知,空白处要说明的是earth在其它的语言里也有类似的词语。D选项“Earth” has relatives in some other languages, too.(“earth”在其他语言里也有亲戚)与文意相符,故选D。【19题详解】根据下文“But if a
73、 single person gave planet Earth its English name which is unlikely his or her identity has been lost to the sands of time.(但是如果一个人给地球起了个英文名字这不太可能他或她的身份已经消失在时间的沙漠里)”可知,没有人知道地球名字是什么时候使用的。G选项Nobody knows when people started using words like “Earth” or “Erde” to refer to our planet.(没人知道人们什么时候开始用“Earth
74、”或”Erde”来指代我们的星球)符合题意,故选G。【20题详解】根据前文“Still, its clear that while Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune all started out as the proper names of ancient gods, “Earth” did not.(尽管如此,很明显水星,金星,火星,木星,土星,天王星和海王星,最初都是古代诸神的专有名称,而“地球”却不是)”可知,作为诸神的专有名词的其它行星,写法上是用大写的形式。地球并不是,所以接下来描述的是这样的结果就是
75、地球要小写。C选项Thats why our planet is sometimes called “the earth” with a lowercase(小写的) “e”(这就是为什么我们的星球,有时被小写称为“地球”的原因)符合题意,故选C。第三部分 语言知识运用(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、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。As a “valued customer”, which is better than being a “customer nobody

108、ateating【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者近期得了感冒,朋友建议作者喝热水,这件事让作者想起了之前妈妈给自己的家庭疗法。【详解】1.考查虚拟语气。句意:我的中国朋友建议我喝点热水,这让我想起了美国常见的家庭疗法。suggest+that.,that宾语从句要用should加动词原形,should可以省略。分析句子,本句中that为suggest的宾语从句,所以drank改为drink。故drank改为drink。2.句意同上。(1 )考查并列连词。分析句子可知,逗号前后均为简单句,后句和前句为并列关系,所以加上并列连词and。故it前加上and;(2 )考查定语从句。分析句
109、子,逗号之后为非限制性定语从句。从句的主语指前面句子的整个内容,所以it改为which,故it改为which。或it前加and。3.考查连词。句意:我大概10岁的时候,我得了流感,但我妈妈没带我去看医生。根据句意,我的了流感,妈妈没有带我去医院。两句之间为转折关系,故and变为but。4.考查非谓语动词。句意:首先,她让我洗了几个热水澡。have sb. do sth.意为“使某人做某事”,do为省略to的不定式,在此作宾补。故删去me后的to。5.考查限定词。句意:然后,她让我尽可能多穿点衣服。限定词many“许多”,常和复数名词连用;much“许多”,常和不可数名词连用。结合句中cloth
110、es,为可数名词,所以much改为many。故much改为many。6.考查介词。句意:之后,我就盖着厚厚的毯子睡觉了。根据句意,我盖着毯子睡觉了,所以是在毯子的下面。under/in the blanket意为“在毯子下面”,所以on改为under/in。故on改为under/in。7.考查被动语态和主谓一致。句意:不到一天,我的感冒就好了。be gone意为“消失”,分析句子,本句讲述的为过去的事实,所以时态用一般过去时;结合句子,句子主语my flu,为第三人称,所以在gone前加was。故在gone前加was。8.考查冠词。句意:这种”出汗”是西方常见的一种家庭疗法。结合后文,其它的疗
111、法包括喝姜汁水,此处指这是一种家庭疗法,所以用不定冠词。故the改为a。9.考查限定词。句意:其他方法包括胃痛时喝姜汁水,感冒时喝鸡汤面条。another“另一个”,表泛指,常表示三者或三者以上的另一个,其后跟单数;other“其它的”,表泛指,其后跟复数名词。本句中remedies为复数,所以another改为other,故Another改为Other。10.考查非谓语动词。句意同上。本句中including为介词,其后跟动名词。根据and可知,and后的eat应和前文的drinking形式一致,故eat改为eating。第二节 书面表达(满分25分)52. 假定你是李华,你校英文版的官方网
