I thought they were beautiful!And there were so many of them! We spent hours picking the flowers and then popping the blossoms off with
87、 a snap of our fingers. But the supply of dandelions (蒲公英) never ran out.

If only I could stretch my roots so deep and straight that something tugging on my stem couldnt separate me completely from the source
90、 that feeds me life. If only I could come back to face the world with a bright, sunshiny face after someone has run me over with a lawnmower or worse, purposely attacked me in an attempt to destroy me. If only I could spread love and encouragement as freely and fully as this flower spreads seeds of

115、entertainment industry. Mr. Cook did not announce his companys latest device. Instead, he unveiled a set of products and services, including video streaming, news games and even a credit card.Apples 900 million iPhones worldwide grant it access to a massive potential audience. Analysts speculate tha
116、t Apple will eventually offer them something similar to Amazon Prime, where customers pay a fixed monthly fee for some combination of news, games, cloud storage, music and video, and which could possibly connect with the companys iPhone subscriptions.Apple TV+, which got prioritized by Mr. Cook, wil
117、l offer original programming in more than 100 countries. The money Apple plans to spend on original shows perhaps $1 billion to $2 billion thus far is dwarfed by that of Netflix, which will spend as much as $15 billion this year on original and licensed content, or Disney, whose own video-streaming
118、is expected shortly. But Apples high-profile shows are for now meant chiefly to draw customers to its universe of apps and services. That includes subscription services for games, a long list of big American magazines and a few newspapers. You can pay for it all using your new Apple Card, developed
119、with bankers at Goldman Sachs. The credit card puts Apple in direct competition with banks: it has no fees and will give users 2% cash back on purchases made via Apple Pay, the companys payments system or 3% on purchases of Apple kit and service.Although Apple continues to earn most of its money fro
120、m devices, its business in services is growing quickly, accounting for nearly $40 billion of revenues of $266 billion in 2018. The new subscription offering, which is easier to click and buy than their predecessors, should accelerate that trend. Its new partners hope to be along for the ride. Analys
121、ts at Goldman Sachs estimated that Apple may turn 10% of the 85 million monthly users of its free News app into paying subscribers, wining a cut of newspaper and TV subscriptions sold through its services.Some content providers are cautious. The New York Times and The Washington Post have rejected A
122、pples advances on behalf of its news service. Netflix and Disney will not take part in Apple TV+, which they view as more a threat than an opportunity.63. The underlined word dwarfed in paragraph 3 most probably means _.A. made to appear insignificantB. reduced to a great extentC. limited to a fixed

Apple Card may be favoured because it offers discounts on purchases of Apple productsC. The popularity of Apple devices may bring forth
124、 huge profit potentials in its new serviceD. Apples new move is seen as an opportunity as well as a threat by its competitors65.

A【解析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了苹果公司推出一系列产品和服务,包括在线视频播放、新闻游戏,甚至还有信用卡。分析了这一举措可能带来的影响以及其他公司对此的态度。【63题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“The money Apple plans to spend on original shows perhaps $1 billion to $2 billion thus far”以及后文“Netflix, which will
127、 spend as much as $15 billion this year on original and licensed content”可知,苹果计划花在原创节目上的10亿到20亿美元的花费与Netflix花费150亿美元在原创和授权内容上相比,显得微不足道。画线词意思为“显得微不足道”。故选A。【64题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中“Apples 900 million iPhones worldwide grant it access to a massive potential audience.(苹果在全球拥有9亿部iphone,这让它能够接触到大量潜在用户)”倒数第二段中“
128、Although Apple continues to earn most of its money from devices, its business in services is growing quickly, accounting for nearly $40 billion of revenues of $266 billion in 2018. The new subscription offering, which is easier to click and buy than their predecessors, should accelerate that trend.(
129、尽管苹果的大部分收入继续来自设备,但其服务业务正在迅速增长,2018年的营收为2660亿美元,其中近400亿美元来自服务。新的订阅服务比之前的订阅服务更容易点击和购买,应该会加速这一趋势)”以及“Analysts at Goldman Sachs estimated that Apple may turn 10% of the 85 million monthly users of its free News app into paying subscribers, wining a cut of newspaper and TV subscriptions sold through its
130、services.(高盛分析师估计,苹果可能会将其免费新闻应用8500万月度用户中的10%转变为付费用户,并从通过其服务出售的报纸和电视订阅中获得分成)”可推知,苹果设备的普及可能为其新服务带来巨大的利润潜力。故选C。【65题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Some content providers are cautious. The New York Times and The Washington Post have rejected Apples advances on behalf of its news service. Netflix and Disney will not ta
131、ke part in Apple TV+, which they view as more a threat than an opportunity.(一些内容提供商则持谨慎态度。纽约时报和华盛顿邮报代表其新闻服务部门拒绝了苹果的要求。Netflix和迪士尼不会参与Apple TV+,他们认为这更多是一种威胁,而非机遇)”可推知,如果这篇文章继续下去,最有可能进一步讨论为什么一些公司对苹果的战略变化持谨慎态度。故选D。【66题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“The two-hour show on March 25, 2019 put on by Tim Cook may be remember
132、ed as a milestone for the company and the entertainment industry. Mr. Cook did not announce his companys latest device.

Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that
134、 there are two more sentences than you need.How to Make a Good Cup of TeaIn his essay, A Nice Cup of Tea, George Orwell laid out 11 basic principles to make a good cup of tea, from warming the pot beforehand to stirring the leaves before pouring. He insisted that “the water should be actually boilin
135、g at the moment of impact, which means that one should keep it on the flame while one pours”._67_ “Some people add that one should only use water that has been freshly brought to the boil, but I have never noticed that it makes any difference,” he went on to state.However, on that point at least, it
136、 seems he was wrong. William Gorman, one of Britains leading tea experts, has now put forward that the water used for making a cup of tea should never be boiled more than once. “Usually when peoples tea goes cold they reboil the kettle and make another cup. _68_ You need freshly drawn water for a go
137、od cup because reboiling it takes all the oxygen and nitrogen out of it, ruining its layered flavor.”Besides, Mr. Gorman advocates another practice of making tea, one that Orwell would surely have protested. Mr. Gorman said, “_69_ When you microwave tea, all youre doing is just moving the molecules
138、around and getting it back up to a decent temperature. It is not impacting the flavor at all.”_70_ In some countries teapots are fitted with little dangling baskets under the spout, to catch the stray leaves, which are supposed to be harmful.

140、n was that the water should be boiled just once.D. However, they both argue against the use of tea-imprisoning devices.E. He said the milk should be poured into the cup last, not first.F. A better solution is to heat it with microwave for 10s.【答案】67. C 68. B 69. F 70. D【解析】【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了正确的泡茶方式
141、,以及关于泡茶的误区。【67题详解】根据设空处后的话可知,Orwell认为水是否反复煮沸对泡茶没有影响,再根据设空处后一段中的However, on that point at least, it seems he was wrong.及has now put forward that the water used for making a cup of tea should never be boiled more than once可知,设空处后一段介绍了有些人认为泡茶的水不应反复煮沸,However表示转折含义,因此设空处与泡茶的水是否应反复煮沸有关。由此可知,C项“他没有坚持的是水应该
142、只煮一次”,引起下文,故选C项。【68题详解】根据设空处后一句You need freshly drawn water for a good cup because reboiling it takes all the oxygen and nitrogen out of it, ruining its layered flavor.可知,重复煮沸的水会失去其中包含的氧气和氮,泡出的茶会失去其风味,由此可知,B项“但这样做会使你的茶失去风味”,引起下文,符合语境,故选B项。【69题详解】设空处前讲戈德曼先生提倡另一种泡茶的方法,再结合设空处后的When you microwave teak可推
143、知,设空处应介绍提倡的方法,且这种方法与微波炉有关,由此可知,F项“更好的方法是用微波炉加热10秒钟”符合语境,故选F项。【70题详解】本段讲了泡茶工具对茶的风味的影响,再根据if the tea is not loose in the pot, it never infuses properly可知,D项“然而,他们都不同意使用泡茶工具”符合语境,故选D项。【点睛】七选五题型要求学生掌握联系上下文的技能,学生不应拘泥于设空处内容,要联系前后文,进行合理推理,从而得出最佳选项。在本文第一个小题中,仅仅根据空后内容还不能完全确定答案,结合后一段中的However及内容,即可得知答案。IV.

In parts of northern Europe, there has also been tree planting (mainly for wood and paper) and land abandonment (specifically in Mediterranean areas), which benefited many woodland species such as woodpeckers and warblers but caused damage to a number of other s
148、pecies as well. The research shows a total of 25% of birds now occupy a smaller area.Generally, farmland birds are bigger losers, suffering overall declines in population and reduced distribution because agricultural intensification means there is less food, such as insects and remainder from harves
