13、e and (b) not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori arent very different from most students here at Linton High School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip (闲话).I have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people, it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can ca
14、use social pressures in a group.An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually, gossip spreads information about a topicbreakups, trouble at home, even dropping outthat a person would rather keep secret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret
15、is, the juicier the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie. People often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain.If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? The answer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction
16、 it gives us. Sharing the latest rumor (传言)can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others dont. Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the in group. In other words, gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or e
17、ven superiority (优越感).Gossip also can have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. Translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around
18、with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention. The dos and donts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook.The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation

Stay away from gossipersC. Dont let gossip turn into liesD. Think twice before you gossip【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了说闲话的影响,分析
22、了人们为什么喜欢传闲话。4.A 【解析】推理判断题。根据第一和第二段“Did you hear what happened to Adam last Friday? Lindsey whispers to Tori. With her eyes shining, Tori brags, You bet I did, Sean told me two days ago.”可知,这两段叙述了两个人在说别人闲话的场景。根据第三段中的“Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about? It just happened to be yours truly, Adam Fre
23、edman, I can tell you that what they are saying is (a) not nice and (b) not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori arent very different from most students here at Linton High School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip (闲话). ”可知,说闲话这种事几乎人人都会做。根据“I have noticed three effects of gossip: it
24、can hurt people, it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group. ”可知,下文主要叙述“说闲话”的三个影响。由此推知,文章开头引用两人的交谈是为了引出“说闲话”这个话题。故选A。5.D 【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about”可知,说闲话的一个重要的负面影响
25、是它会伤害被谈论的人。即:给被谈论的人带来不愉快的体验。故选D。6.B 【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Gossip also can have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. Translated into high school terms, this means
26、that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention.”可知,闲话还有第三个作用:它强化了关于人们应该如何行动的不成文的规定。大卫威尔逊教授解释说,流言蜚语对监督一个群体的行为很重要。换句话说,这意味着:如果你周围的每个人都在嘲笑约翰穿的衣服或简说的话,那么,穿着
27、类似的衣服或说类似的话会让你得到同样的负面注意。由此推知,Professor David Wilson认为闲话可以帮助人们注意他们的行为。故选B。7.D 【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and what effects your juicy story might have.”可知,下次你想要传播最新消息的时候,想想你为什么要说闲话,你的“有趣的故事”可能会有什么影响。即:在你说闲话之前要三思。故选D。
28、CPeople like to post their selfies(自拍照) on social media. To know more about it, scientists at Syracuse University in New York recently did a research and came up with some surprising findings.People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behavior connected to n
29、arcissism(自恋), the researchers said. Makana Chock, a professor from Syracuse University, said because social media is mostly used by people to share unimportant information about their lives, it is a good place for people to “work towards satisfying their own vanity.” Those “likes” under their Faceb
30、ook selfies make them feel good.Besides, people who post group selfies show a need for popularity and a need to belong to a group, the research found. Some people feel “peer(同伴) pressure” to post selfies and some follow the popular belief that if there is no picture of an event or experience, it did
31、 not really happen. “Anyway, it shouldnt be seen as negative. People get sense of satisfaction especially when they get likes. And it does no harm,” Chock said.Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing
32、 software. But men who post selfies showed more of a need to be seen as popular than women who posted selfies.Chock said posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. On trips and special events, our parents and grandparents used cameras instead
33、 of phones to take photos. They would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. You probably commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. They were happy to hear your comments. That was the o

37、tionshipsD. to share good moments【语篇解读】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章主要讲了人们喜欢在社交媒体上发布自己的自拍。为了了解更多,纽约Syracuse University大学的科学家们最近做了一项研究,并得出了一些令人惊讶的发现。8.B 【解析】推理判断题。答案定位在最后一段You probably commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. They were happy to h
38、ear your comments. That was the old way of “clicking like”. On social media, however, people can decide not to look at photos - even if they click “like”. 这说明老一辈人展示他们的照片是希望得到赞许,由此推断出这次研究主要是关于人们在社交媒体上发布自拍的原因,故选B。9. C【解析】词义猜测题。下文Those “likes” under their Facebook selfies make them feel good.意思是脸书自拍下面的
39、“赞”让他们感觉很好。由此可知,上文it is a good place for people to “work towards satisfying their own vanity.”意思是这是一个让人们“努力满足自己虚荣心”的好地方。“vanity”意思是虚荣心,故选C。10.D 【解析】推理判断题。答案定位在最后一段Chock said posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years.(Chock说,在社交媒体上发布自拍照与人们多年来的

41、aft, called “drones”. The little planes were very costly. But as they have dropped in price more people have begun to use them.The fast rate of development of computer technology, image sensing equipment, satellite navigation and smart phones has led to lower-priced drones. Researchers and developer
42、s have learned how to build smaller and less costly drones. Nowadays, moviemakers are using drones to film from the sky. Historians use them when they explore ancient buildings. Rescue workers use them to look for people. And now farmers are also using them to watch over their crops.Romain Faroux is
43、 a French businessman, whose father was a farmer. He believed drones could help farmers. He has helped create a company which has developed a small drone that could be controlled by people on the ground. Its called “Agridrone”. It uses a special sensor to examine crops. The technology used on the dr
44、one is similar to that used on a smartphone - except it has wings. A computer program directs the drone to fly over the crops. The sensor on the drone records four different-colored “bands” of sunlight that are reflected off the crops.Jean-Baptiste Bruggeman is another farmer in France who is using
45、a drone. He says the drone flies over his crops at different times of the season and provides a lot of information about his crops. The pictures taken by the drone show him the exact amount of fertilizer the crops need. It also shows exactly where the fertilizer is needed.Romain Faroux says farmers
46、use information provided by the Agridrone to place fertilizer only in areas where it is needed. This saves money and reduces pollution. Before they used the drones, farmers would put the same amount of fertilizer everywhere. Drones also save time because farmers can examine up to three hectares (英亩)
47、 in about a minute.12. Why do rescue workers and farmers begin to use drones?A. Because they are affordable now.B. Because their sizes have become smaller.C. Because they can save people a lot of time.D. Because the technology has been developed.13. What is the sensor on the drone mainly used for?A.

92、e secretary. How could our mother-in-law 49. ( possible) have assisted someone 50. (call) jiujiu?【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。作者嫁到一个中国家庭,对中国的姻亲关系感到非常困惑。文章以一个具体的例子表明了这种困惑。41. to explore考查非谓语动词。表示“需要做某事”,应用need to do结构。其中,to do作宾语。故填to explore。42. my考查代词。该空修饰language,应用形容词性物主代词。my native language of English:我的母语英语。故
93、填my。43. in-laws考查名词。my _3_作介词with的宾语,需用名词。in-law意为“姻亲”,是可数名词,根据后面的their可知,该处应用复数形式。故填in-laws。44. in考查介词。“他们的村庄”在“浙江省境内”,表示“在里面”,应用介词in。故填in。45. had spent考查时态。句意:一天晚上吃饭的时候,我大姑姐说,婆婆一整天都在和一个“舅舅”种地。该空作谓语,且“spend the entire day”发生在said之前,即:过去的过去。应用过去完成时态。故填had spent。46. a考查冠词。句意:一天晚上吃饭的时候,我大姑姐说,婆婆一整天都在和一

98、【答案】1.fallfell2.perfectperfectly3.suchso4.need后添加to5.attentionsattention6.thatwhich7.withto8.去掉the9.wearwearing10.waswere【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。记叙了作者买了一件漂亮的衣服,得到了很多关注,有趣的是,这种风格与上世纪90年代人们的穿着非常相似。1.考查动词时态。句意:前几天我在一家商店看到一件漂亮的衣服,就爱上了它。结合上文The other day“前几天”可知应用一般过去时。故fall改为fell。2.考查副词。句意:我试了一下,觉得很合身,就买了下来!修饰动词fi
99、t应用副词,故perfect改为perfectly。3.考查固定句式。句意:这件衣服我最喜欢的地方是它有很多口袋,我再也不需要带包了。此处修饰many应用副词so,固定句式sothat“如此以至于”,引导结果状语从句。故such改为so。4.考查固定短语。句意同上。根据dont 可知,need作实义动词。所以用短语need to do sth.“需要做某事”,故need后添加to。5.考查名词的数。句意:我也得到了很多关注,我的朋友每当我穿它,这让我感到骄傲。attention表示“注意;专心”时为不可数名词,没有复数形式,故attentions改为attention。6.考查定语从句关系词。
100、句意同上。本句为非限定性定语从句修饰上文整个句子,从句中缺少主语,故用关系代词which。故that改为which。7.考查介词。句意:有趣的是,这种风格与上世纪90年代人们的穿着非常相似。短语be similar to“与相似”。故with改为to。8.考查冠词。句意:事实上,我发现了一些我母亲穿着类似衣服的旧照片。短语in fact“事实上”,中间不需要冠词。故去掉the。9.考查非谓语动词。句意同上。分析句子结构可知wear在句中做非谓语动词,且与逻辑主语mother构成主动关系,表示“穿着”的状态应用现在分词形式。故wear改为wearing。10.考查主谓一致。句意:我们开始穿20年
101、前流行的衣服,这真的很神奇。本句为定语从句,从句中主语为things,故谓语动词应用复数形式。且结合下文twenty years ago可知为一般过去时。故was改为were。第二节书面表达(满分25分)假定你是李华,给你开网店的英国朋友Peter写封信请他代卖自家产的绿茶。要点如下:1. 介绍中国茶的历史和文化。2. 说明自家产的绿茶的特点。3. 价格。注意:1.词数100左右;2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。_【范文】Dear Peter,How are you?
