21、 Russian tennis superstar Maria Sharapova, 34, has announced her retirement.“How do you leave behind the only life youve ever known?” she asked herself.

26、, alongside a photo of herself as a young girl with a tennis racquet(网球拍). “Its how I tested myself and how I measured my growth.

30、on (炎症) in her forearms that may have prevented her from returning to top form. (在过去的几年中，她的右肩受伤且前臂发炎，这可能使她无法恢复正常状态。)”可知，伤病是莎拉波娃退役的原因。故选C。【5题详解】词义猜测题。根据文章第三段“As I think youve seen throughout my career, my perseverance has been my greatest tool, my greatest strength,” Sharapova said in an interview. “
31、But Ive started feeling like it was becoming a weakness, ”(莎拉波娃在一次采访中说：“我想你们在我整个职业生涯中都看到了，我的毅力是我最大的工具，也是我最大的优势。但我开始觉得这正成为一种弱点，)”可知，毅力是莎拉波娃的工具和优势，但在伤病情况下还像以前一样保持这种毅力，是以错误的理由坚持。所以stubbornness指的是“毅力”，与perseverance同义。故选C。【6题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“Sharapova rose to fame at age 17 when she won Wimbledon in 2004
32、. She won a total of four Grand Slam singles titles: the 2006 US Open, the 2008 Australian Open, and the 2012 and 2014 French Open.

35、 photo of herself as a young girl with a tennis racquet(网球拍). “Its how I tested myself and how I measured my growth.

37、r. It marks the start of spring and farming. Ancient people believed that after this day, rainfall increases because the rain-bringing Dragon King has woken up from his winter sleep. In ancient times, farming highly depended on the weather. Proper rainfall and plenty of sunlight were necessary for a
38、 good harvest at the end of the year. The Chinese dragon, besides a symbol of good luck and great power, is also the god managing weather and water. So Dragon Head-raising Day is about honoring the Chinese dragon and praying for good weather in spring.The festival celebrates ancient agrarian(农耕的) Ch
39、inese culture, and while some of traditional ways to celebrate it are no longer practiced, others persist.The most famous tradition is getting a haircut.

40、tion for people to line up outside barber shops this day after they avoided haircuts for the preceding(前面的)month.Today Chinese Dragon Head-raising Day is celebrated in many different ways, most of which are still similar to those practiced in the ancient times, including eating spring pancakes and n
41、oodles. People eat tofu balls in East Chinas Fujian Province during the festival while fried beans are the traditional festival food for people in parts of Shandong Province.

45、这一天，你还会看到很多人会理发，因为在农历一月理发是不吉利的。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The Chinese dragon, besides a symbol of good luck and great power, is also the god managing weather and water. So Dragon Head-raising Day is about honoring the Chinese dragon and praying for good weather in spring.(中国龙除了象征好运和强大的力量外，也是管理天气和环境的神。所以，龙抬
46、头日是为了纪念中国龙，为春天的好天气析祷。)”可知，古代的龙抬头日是希望有好天气，更好地耕种。故选D。【9题详解】词义猜测题。根据划线词的前句“The festival celebrates ancient agrarian(农耕的) Chinese culture, and while some of traditional ways to celebrate it are no longer practiced,(这个节日庆祝的是古老的中国农耕文化，虽然一些庆祝的传统方式已不再被采用，)”可知，此处说的是一些节日庆祝的传统方式已经不复存在，但其他的方式持续存在着。所以persist为“持续
47、”之意。故选B。【10题详解】推理判断题。阅读全文可知，本文主要讲述了中国的传统节日龙抬头。所以推断本文最有可能写给中国传统文化感兴趣的外国人。故选A。【11题详解】主旨大意题。阅读全文可知本文主要介绍了中国传统节日龙抬头。介绍了节日的起源，节日的风俗习惯等等。所以D“The introduction of Dragon Head raising Day(龙抬头日的介绍)”作为题目最合适。故选D。DTechnology use seems to be the new wave of addiction hitting people of all ages.

49、usic. It may seem ridiculous that someone is that addicted to such a small object. Ive seen people who seem to be at their wits end if their phone or iPad has been taken away, lost or left at home.Some people may ask, “Whats wrong with technology use? Its a way for people to communicate.” While this
50、 is true, the overuse of technology isnt always appropriate in certain settings. Schools are becoming stricter about the use of cell phones, iPods and other electronics in classrooms. Various workplaces have signs hanging on their walls warning employees that “Cell phone use is not permitted” or “Ce
51、ll phones are forbidden”. On the first warning you will be sent home, and on the second warning you will be fired.Electronics may be a way for people to communicate and stay in touch with each other, but the disadvantages may outweigh the benefits. People are losing the ability to hold face-to-face
52、conversations with others. However, its hard to avoid electronics in this day and age because almost everything is turning into an electronic format.

53、nternet. With this growing trend, future generations are bound to become even more addicted to technology.Is there a cure for electronic addiction?

The writers attitude to the overuse of technology can be best described as _.A. approving.B. indifferent.C. critical.D. doubt
57、ful.【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C【解析】【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章介绍了当今人们过度使用科技产品的问题，并简单论述了如何解决这个问题。【12题详解】细节理解题。第一段“Technology use seems to be the new wave of addiction hitting people of all ages. Its extreme use can be compared to the use of drugs, which is called Plug-in Heroin.”提到，不同年龄段的人都对使用科技产品上瘾，这样的极端使用简直可以和吸
58、毒相比，这种情况就叫Plug-in Heroin，下文接着通过公共场所的例子说明人们对电子产品的过度使用和依赖，由此可知，Plug-in Heroin就是不理性地依赖电子产品。故选D项。【13题详解】推理判断题。通读第二段，结合本段中“It may seem ridiculous that someone is that addicted to such a small object.(有人对这么小的东西上瘾，这似乎很可笑。)”可知，第二段通过例子旨在说明人们对电子产品上瘾。故选A项。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“However, its hard to avoid electron
59、ics in this day and age because almost everything is turning into an electronic format.(然而，在这个时代很难避免电子产品，因为几乎所有东西都变成了电子形式。)”可知，当今人们很难避免使用科技产品，因为更多的信息倾向于以电子形式提供。故选B项。【15题详解】推理判断题。由第三段中“While this is true, the overuse of technology isnt always appropriate in certain settings.(虽然这是事实，但在某些情况下，过度使用技术并不总是
60、合适的。)”及第四段中“Electronics may be a way for people to communicate and stay in touch with each other, but the disadvantages may outweigh the benefits.(电子产品可能是人们相互沟通和保持联系的一种方式，但缺点可能超过好处。)”可以看出，作者对过度使用科技产品持批评态度。故选C项。【点睛】第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。Critical（批判的）thinki
61、ng is the art of using reason to analyze ideas and dig deeper to get to our true potential.

We make a lot of assumptions about almost ever
62、ything. Its how our brain processes certain pieces of information, and how we get along in everyday life. You could say they are the foundation of our critical framework. _17_ Then the whole foundation needs to be rebuilt, from the bottom up.Dont take information on authority until youve investigate
63、d it yourself. Instead of double-checking everything anyone says, we tend to label information as either coming from a trustworthy or not trustworthy source. This keeps us from double-checking every piece of information that comes our way, saving time and energy. But it also keeps us from getting to
64、 the bottom of things we think of as coming from a trustworthy source, even when they dont. _18_Put yourself in other peoples shoes. Empathy can also help you develop your critical thinking skills. _19_ You may find that a little understanding facilitates a deeper insight into other people and their
65、 behavior. The deeper your insight into yourself and others, the wiser your decisions will be._20_ There is no way to learn better than learning from your friends. If you only want to be a big fish swimming in the little pond just because your ego（自负）feels good, keep this part. If you are wondering
66、about how to develop critical skills, make friends with smart people and throw away your ego.A. Actually, its about thinking better.B. Surround yourself with people smarter than you.C. Be someone that people know that they can count on.D. You should not judge others until you fully understand their
67、situation.E. But what if they turned out to be wrong, or at least not entirely truthful?F. The reason is that understanding does not always go with the right action.G. So what is published in a magazine or online doesnt mean its necessarily true.【答案】16. A 17. E 18. G 19. D 20. B【解析】【分析】本文为说明文。批判性思维是
68、一种运用理性分析思想、深入挖掘以达到真正潜能的艺术。这是更好地思考。文中介绍了一些帮助你建立批判性思维基础的技巧和想法：勇于质疑、会移情，为他人着想、与聪明的人相处等。【16题详解】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段是对批判性思维的定义。批判性思维是一种运用理性分析思想、深入挖掘以达到真正潜能的艺术。接着进行解释：这并不是你思考的更久或更长。那是什么呢？”而是.”。分析选项，选项A（而是关于更好的思考）。不是.而是.,正是一种常用的解释，因此A项符合题意。【17题详解】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。第二段最后一句“Then the whole foundation needs to b
69、e rebuilt, from the bottom up.” 那么整个基础就需要自下而上重建。由此可推断“如果是错误的就是重建”。分析选项，E项（但是如果他们被证明是错误的，或者至少不是完全真实的呢？）与后面的整个基础就需要重建是互为条件。故选E项。【18题详解】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段的意思是说除非你亲自调查过，否则不要把权威性的信息带进来。因为我们无法都仔细检查每件事，所以权威性的东西并不非一定是值得信赖，并非是真的。分析选项可知，只在G项（所以杂志或网络上发表的内容并不意味着这是真的。）的意思与之相符，因为杂志上发表的东西相对是权威性的。故G与本段意思 相一致。【19题详
70、解】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段的中心为：设身处地为别人着想即移情还可以帮助你培养批判性思维的技能。因为一点点理解就有助于深入了解他们。你理解他人越深，你做出的决定或判断就越明智。分析选项，可知D选项选中的动词understand与本段中的名词understanding，选项中的judge评判与本段中decisions决定，判断是词义的复现。而其句意： “不理解别人时不要评价别人”，与本段意思相一致。因此D项符合题意，故选D。【20题详解】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据空后内容：跟你身边的聪明的人学习是最好的办法，如果你想变得更聪明，那就不要自负，要与聪明的人交朋友，总之就是
71、要与聪明的人在一起。本小题是对本段的总结，分析选项可知B项（和比你更聪明的在一起）符合题意。第三部分 语言知识运用 (共两节，满分30分)第一节:完形填空(共15题，每小题1分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。The town of Paradise has suffered a fire, which lasted 17 days and caused a loss of $16.5 billion.

80、destroyed破坏，毁灭；B. created创造；C. witnessed见证；D. lost失去。根据首句“The town of Paradise has suffered a fire, which lasted 17 days and caused a loss of $16.5 billion.”可知天堂镇遭受了一场持续17天、造成严重损失的大火，也就是这个地方因大火失去了它原有的美丽，故选D。 【22题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：事实上，当看到朋友分享的照片时，他是感到相当无力回天的。A. powerless无能为力的，无力回天的；B. enthusiastic热情的；C
81、. urgent紧急的，迫切的；D. reluctant不情愿的。根据后面从句内容“in which only a white chimney of his house _3_ after the fire.”可知，大火过后房子只剩下一根白色的烟囱。这样的情景明显让人感到绝望或无能为力，故选A。 【23题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：照片里，大火过后他的房子只剩下一根白色的烟囱。A. left剩下，离开；B. remained剩下，留下；C. disappeared消失；D. collapsed倒塌。根据语境可直接判断出大火烧完“剩下”一根烟囱，remained常用于表示遗址、遗迹的留下或剩下
82、，而left是及物动词，要用被动语态。，故选B。【24题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：“我去到那里，在烟囱上作画。”A. mend修理，修补；B. rebuild重建；C. paint画画；D. preserve保护。根据下文他是一名艺术家（artist）的提示，以及下一段首句“Grammer spent three hours spray-painting”可知，他是去那里涂鸦作画，故选C。25题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：这是我自我表达，成为一名真正的艺术家的（绝佳）机会，难道不是吗？A. risk风险；B. opportunity机会；C. job工作；D. duty职责，义务。结合上
83、下文，他这样做并不带着任何功利目的，而是把断壁残垣涂鸦作为一次表达自我和追求艺术的机会，B符合语境，注意本题不能误选D，duty强调的是工作上的职责义务，是必须完成的任务使命，并不契合此处语境。综上，故选B。【26题详解】考查副词词义辨析。句意：（这幅黑白画）在那很醒目，又充满了神秘感。A. strikingly醒目地，引人注目地；B. originally最初，本来；C. deliberately故意地；D. accidentally意外地。在仅剩的一根烟囱上作画，这肯定十分醒目，此处用“副词+形容词”的结构（strikingly mysterious）表达“既醒目，又神秘”，A符合语境，他
84、的作画并不带着强烈的功利目的，C项的“故作神秘”不符合语境。故选A。【27题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：或许它作为生活美丽的一种回忆，亦或是生活本身的回忆象征。A. label标签，商标；B. object目标，物体；C. content内容，目录；D. reminder提醒物，令人回忆的东西。这场大火把小镇上人们的美好生活都毁了，所有的过往都烟消云散，眼前只有废墟。因而这幅画可作为过去美好生活的回忆物，故选D。 【28题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：看到这幅画，这场大火的受害者（终于）不能抑制住自己的情绪了，“太美了，太让人印象深刻了。”其中一个人评价道。A. support支持；B. c
85、ontain控制，抑制；C. help帮助；D. release释放。作为火灾受害者，这幅画激发了他们内心强烈的情感，contain oneself是常用搭配，表示“抑制、控制自己的情绪”，故选B。【29题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：而另一个人表示，“你带来了美好与希望。” A. hope希望；B. mystery谜题，神秘；C. entertainment娱乐；D. inspiration灵感，鼓舞。这幅废墟上的涂鸦画让他们看到美好，也看到希望，A符合语境，注意inspiration作不可数名词时可表示“灵感”，作可数名词时表示“鼓舞”， bring inspiration只能翻译为带来灵
86、感，不符语境，故选A。 【30题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这时候Grammer意识到必须从纯粹的艺术表达转向更深入的内容。A. brighter更明亮的；B. higher更高的；C. bigger更大的；D. deeper更深入的。根据上下文，第一幅壁画产生了巨大的反响，给大火的受害者带来了希望，已经具有了社会意义，所以必须从纯粹随心所欲的艺术表达转向更为深入的某些东西，故选D。【31题详解】考查固定短语语义辨析。句意：“当第一幅壁画打动了那么多人的时候，我知道我不得不回来了。” A. take back拿回，撤销；B. come back回来，归来；C. bring back拿回，带
87、回来；D. hold back阻止，隐瞒。根据下一句“Grammer returned to Paradise eight times in three months”可知，他三个月里回了八次天堂镇，后面还提到他进行了大量创作。因此，他是回来天堂镇继续作画，故选B。【32题详解】考查介词用法及定语从句。句意：在这期间，他完成了17幅受害者和其他人物的壁画。A. to到，向；B. from从；C. of属于的；D. during在期间。分析句子结构，“_12_which he completed 17 murals of victims and other figures.”为非限制性定语从句，
88、先行词是主句末尾处的three months，表示时期，“在这三个月期间”应为“during three months”也即“during which”，介词during表示在期间，故选D。 【33题详解】考查动词短语语义辨析。句意：今天，Grammer的这种艺术成就已经发展成为一种艺术潮流。A. break into闯入，破门而入；B. look into调查；C. develop into发展成为；D. dip into浸入，浸在里。下文还提到他在世界各地作画，他把这种艺术形式带到世界各地，发展成为一种艺术潮流，故选C。【34题详解】考查连词词义辨析。句意：讽刺的是，天堂镇那根烟囱上的第一
89、幅画，仅仅存留了几个月，因为推土机就是一个冷酷无情的艺术摧毁机器。A. since因为；B. while然而，当的时候；C. unless除非；D. once一旦。分析句子内容，前半句说明事实“这幅画仅仅存留了几个月”，后面解释原因“被推土机推了”，构成因果关系，用since连接，故选A。【35题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：但Grammer对此再高兴不过了，这意味着天堂镇的精神又重新升起。A. lasting持续；B. rising升起；C. fading衰退；D. accumulating积累。小镇在一片废墟中重建，小镇精神又再一次重新升起（复兴），故选B。第二节:语法填空(共10小题，每

113、the restaurant would make a wondrous impression on the customers and that she was going to enjoy life here immensely.【解析】【分析】续写应该围绕“陌生地的新友情”这一主题展开，需要充分挖掘文本中提供的信息，如中国餐馆、文化背景、Lily个性特点等，把握主人公情感的需求和变化。一次偶然的邂逅通过何种方式发展成为二次见面，由此带给女主人公什么样的感受，这是续写的落脚点。续写部分需要对话的支撑，但更需注重表情神态、心理活动等描写。【详解】1.段落续写：第一段首句内容“直到她突然有了个
114、主意，Lily才想出其他的谈话。”可知，第一段可描写Lily想办法与Gabriela建立谈话的过程。由第二段首句内容“第二天，Lily正在餐馆里做她的例行公事时，突然听到一阵意外的敲门声。”可知，第二段可描写Gabriela再一次来访的目的，Lily成功地交到了朋友，且心理得到了满足和宽慰。2.续写线索：取饼干赠送盼望、等待反馈礼物感悟3.词汇激活行为类取饼干：run into/rush into the kitchen等待回应：spend the remaining afternoon doing/wait for the reply anxiously情绪类积极：be positive/hold a positive attitude towards高兴：grinned with enthusiasm/be enthusiastic about her return【点睛】高分句型1.
