42、id Lisa had left to drive home at 9 that night.(然后他们联系了Lisa的朋友，她说Lisa那天晚上9点开车回家了。)”可知Lisa晚上9:00离开朋友家，所以她本应该在9:30到家，故选B项。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“The family thought about calling the police that evening but the police typically dont define a person missing unless there is no contact for 24 hours. (当晚他们想报警，

56、be taken in so many different ways： from the side, above, below, in bright light. ( 这很sophisticated，因为可以采用多种不同的方式拍摄照片：从侧面，上方，下方以明亮的光线拍摄。)”可知拍摄动物的表情识别面部特征有多种不同的方式，由此可推出sophisticated表示“很复杂”，故选B项。【31题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“But this is the first time this kind of technology has been used for animals. It then ha

60、)”可知因为动物的面部特征，姿势；拍摄位置和光线等情况的不同，Happy Pets使要学会使用面部表情来检测动物的情感， 由此可知Happy Pets 得学会识别面部，才能更加精确地检测动物的情感，故选C项。DThe word orange describes both a color and a fruit. Which one came first might be surprising. Orange when used as the name of the fruit came before orange as a word to describe color. While the s
61、hade itself existed before the fruit, there was not a name in the English language for the color. Before the introduction of the fruit to English-speaking countries, the color was usually described as a shade of red or yellow.In the early 16th century, Portuguese traders brought oranges from India t
62、o Europe. The Europeans had not seen the bright colored fruit before and didnt have a name for it. The fruits were named narancia by Italians and narange by the French and were sometimes referred to as golden apples by English speakers.Orange was first used in a phrase to describe shades of colors,
63、including in a third-century Greek text translated into English, in 1576. It describes Alexander the Greats servants as dressed in orange colour velvet （天鹅绒）In 1578, a Latin-American dictionary defined melites as a precious stone of orange color”. While orange represents the color of the objects, it
64、 needed the word color to follow it in order for the meaning to be clear. In the mid-1590s, Shakespeare described a beard as orange tawny, one of the first instances of orange without the word color as part of the expression. Tawny is a brown color often used on its own. Orange was not yet a color,
65、just a shade of brown.In 1616, in an account describing varieties of tulips （郁金香）that can be grown, orange was used as a stand-alone color. When Isaac Newton performed his experiments on the color spectrum （色谱），he listed it as one of the seven basic colors. After almost half a century, orange was re

C【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了“orange”（橘子，橘色）这个词用于描述颜色的历史起源及经过。【32题详解】细节理解题。由文章第一段“Orange when used as the name of the fruit came before orange as a word to describe color. While the shade i
69、tself existed before the fruit, there was not a name in the English language for the color. Before the introduction of the fruit to English-speaking countries, the color was usually described as a shade of red or yellow.”（“Orange”作为水果的名称出现在作为描述颜色的单词之前。虽然这种色调（颜色）在水果之前就已经存在了，但在英语中并没有专门的名称来形容这种颜色。在这种水果
70、被引入英语国家之前，它的颜色通常被描述为红色或黄色的某种色调）可知，“这种色调（the shade itself）”是最早存在的，其次是“作为水果的名称（as a fruit）”，最后是“作为描述颜色的单词（as a color）”。故选C项。【33题详解】细节理解题。由文章第二段“In the early 16th century, Portuguese traders brought oranges from India to Europe. The Europeans had not seen the bright colored fruit before and didnt have
71、a name for it. The fruits were named narancia by Italians and narange by the French and were sometimes referred to as golden apples by English speakers.”（在16世纪早期，葡萄牙商人把橙子从印度带到欧洲。欧洲人以前没有见过这种颜色鲜艳的水果，也没有给它起名字。这种水果被意大利人命名为“narancia”，法国人命名为“narange”，有时也被说英语的人称为“金苹果”）可知，在1500年代（16世纪）早期，橙子这种水果被说英语的人（the Br
72、itish）叫为“金苹果”。故选D项。【34题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Orange was first used in a phrase to describe shades of colors, including in a third-century Greek text translated into English, in 1576.”（“Orange”一词最初用于描述颜色的深浅，这包括在1576年被翻译成英语的三世纪希腊文本中）以及“While orange represents the color of the objects, it needed the word co
73、lor to follow it in order for the meaning to be clear.（虽然橙色代表物体的颜色，但它需要“颜色”(color)这个词来跟随着它，以便让意思更清楚）”可知，“orange”16世纪时就被用来描述颜色，但是还需要跟有“color”一词来让意思更清楚。由此可推出B项表述正确。故选B项。【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章总领句“The word orange describes both a color and a fruit. Which one came first might be surprising. Orange when used a
74、s the name of the fruit came before orange as a word to describe color.”（“orange”这个词既描述一种颜色，也描述一种水果。（至于）哪一个先出现可能会令人惊讶。“orange”作为水果的名称出现在作为描述颜色的单词之前）以及下文展开的一系列关于“orange”用于描述颜色的历史起源及经过可知本文主要围绕“Orange used as a color”（“Orange”用作颜色/用于描述颜色）来展开的。文章标题彰显文章大意。故选C项。第二节（共5小题;每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出

110、在大不列颠哥伦比亚的地方被发现，但是那里曾经是一个海洋。该空是句子谓语，句子讲的是过去的事情，故为一般过去时，主语fossils与find是被动关系，故句子是被动语态，主语是复数，故谓语构成是were done，故填were found。【57题详解】考查代词。句意：这种海洋虫有10厘米长，并且它的头上有50个刺。根据空格后是名词head可知应填形容词性物主代词，it是人称代词，其形容词性物主代词是its(它的)，故填its。【58题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：这些刺能够突然闭合来抓住小一点的海洋生物。分析句子可知该句谓语是could close，结合句意可知该空应为不定式to do作目的状语

112、单数，故填was。【62题详解】考查副词。句意：Briggs说这种虫子可能是一个好猎手因为它有这么多刺。该空修饰be动词was，故为副词，probable是形容词表示“可能的”，其副词是“probably(可能地)”，故填probably。【63题详解】考查名词。句意：但是这个发现形状保持这么好。分析句子结构结合该空前面的指示代词this可知，此处应填名词作句子主语。discover是动词，其名词是discovery，故填discovery。【64题详解】考查形容词。句意：研究者能够详细地画出他们认为的虫子如何在海洋中移动。分析句子可知该空修饰名词drawing，所以应填入形容词作定语，det
113、ail是名词，其形容词是detailed表示“详细的”，故填detailed。【65题详解】考查副词比较级。句意：他说这个突破将帮助科学家比以前更好地理解来自古代的这种虫子和其他生命。分析句子可知该空修饰动词understand，所以应用副词，结合后面的than（比），可知应为副词well的比较级，表示“更好地做某事”，故填better。第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分)第一节(满分15分)66. 你校正在组织英语作文比赛。请以“My best friend”为题，写一篇短文参赛，内容包括：1.你朋友的简介；2.朋友对你的帮助。注意：1. 写作词数应为80左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相
