10、etes the sentence.1.Understanding the cultural habits of another nation, especially containing as many different subcultures as the United States, is a complex task.A. oneB. the oneC. thatD. those【答案】A【解析】【详解】考查代词。句意:了解另一个国家的文化习惯是一项复杂的任务,尤其是像美国这样包含许多不同亚文化的国家。one 可指代前面已经出现过的同种类的可数名词,在此处作可数名词 nation 的
11、同位语,表示泛指,因此不用定冠词 the,可排除B,that 指代过去的或远处的某一事物,也可用来指代同类不同物或不可数名词,可排除C,those 后修饰名词复数,因此排除D。故正确答案为A。2.Because he could not find the right theme , his explanation was vague and uncovering.A. which to center his thought aroundB. around which his thoughts to centerC. on which to center his thoughtsD. which
12、 he centers his thoughts on【答案】C【解析】【详解】考查定语从句。句意:因为他不能找到正确主题的中心思想,所以他的解释是模糊而不全的。which 引导先行词为 theme 的定语从句,center on 为固定搭配,意为“集中在;以为中心”,关系代词 which 在定语从句中作介词的宾语,因此介词 on 需前置。故选C。3.I will be surprised if you can get Calvin, who is a close-fisted man, these donation draw tickets from you.A. buyB. buyingC
13、. buysD. to buy【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:如果你能让加尔文,一个吝啬的男人,从你那里买这些捐款票,我会很惊讶。经过分析得知,句子谓语是 get,固定结构get sb. to do sth. “让某人做某事”,因此选用动词的不定式。故选D。4.The architects of the temples of ancient Rome and Greece worked anonymously(匿名的), the builders of the medieval cathedrals in Europe.A. as didB. as haveC. as ifD.
14、 as【答案】A【解析】【详解】考查倒装句。句意:古罗马和古希腊庙宇的建筑师们匿名工作,在欧洲,中世纪的大教堂的建造者也是那样。as 引导的倒装句,主要用于正式文体,在意思上跟 so 基本相同。但是,在这个句子中,as 实际是从属连词,引导方式状语从句,所以缩略形式采用了倒装语序,前面句子的谓语是 worked,所以用助动词 did 代替。故选A。【点睛】as的用法很多,常见用法如下:1. as可以作副词,连词,也可以引导时间状语从句例如:He looked behind from time to time as he went forward.当他朝前走时,不时地向后看。2. as可以引导原
15、因状语从句例如:As she has been ill perhaps shell need some help.她由于生病可能需要些帮助。3. as引导让步状语从句例如:Angry as he was, he managed to speak calmly.虽然他很生气,但是他讲话很平静。二、需要注意的是:当as作“虽然”解,引导让步状语从句时,必须将表语、状语或动词原形提到as前面。句子的倒装语序有以下三种形式:(1). 形容词或副词+as+主语+连系动词be或实义动词。例如:Rich as he is, he never spends a cent on clothes.虽然他很富有,但
16、他从不花一分钱在衣服上。Much as I admire his courage, I dont think he acted wisely.我虽然佩服他的勇气,但我认为他这样做是不聪明的。(2). 名词+as+主语+连系动词be (注意句首的名词不带冠词)。例如:Child as he is, he knows a lot.尽管他是个孩子,但懂很多事情。Boy as he was, he was chosen king.尽管他还是个孩子,但却被立为国王。(3). 实义动词+as+主语+助动词如果没有助动词,则要加上一个do(does或did)。例如:Try as he may, he nev
17、er succeeds.尽管他很努力,但总是不成功。Change your mind as you will, you will gain no additional support.即使你改变主意,你也不会得到另外的支持。5.The Qingming Festival, now a national holiday, allows more people to pay their respects to dead relatives on would otherwise be a workday like Friday.A. whereB. thatC. whenD. what【答案】D【解
18、析】【详解】考查名词性从句连接词。句意: 清明节,现在是一个国家节日,允许更多的人在周五这样的工作日向死去的亲人表达敬意。介词 on 后跟的是宾语从句。宾语从句缺主语应用 what。A、C选项是关系副词,不能做主语。that 在宾语从句中不做句子成分。故选D。【点睛】名词性从句关键在于三点:一、找准从句在主句中充当的成分即分出是名词性从句的主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句还是同位语从句。二、连接词在从句中充当的成分(主、宾、定或状语或不做任何成分)三、弄清楚每个连接词的意义。此外还要注意,近年来高考对于名词性从句的考查多从名词性从句的语序和连接词的用法区别上考查。6.In the United S
19、tates and some other countries it is the drivers responsibility to make sure that children under fourteen do not ride in the front seat they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.A. whileB. evenC. untilD. unless【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查连接词。句意:在美国和其他的一些国家,务必不要让十四岁以下的孩子坐在前排座位上是司机的职责,除非他们系好某种安全带。A. while当的时候,引导时间
20、状语从句;B. even甚至;更;C. until一直;D. unless除非,如果不,引导条件状语从句。分析句子结构可知为条件状语从句,故选D。Section B(6%)Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word;
21、 for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.How should a Nobel laureate dress? asked Kazuo Ishiguro, who, 40 minutes earlier, had found out he _7_(award) the Nobel Prize for Literature.To say the news was unexpected is an understatement. He literally couldnt believe it. Until that
22、was, his phone began to ring constantly, an orderly queue of TV crews started to form outside his front door (how do they all know where I live?), and his publishers dispatched a top team to his house as back-up.This was not fake news. This was delightful, surprising news. Maybe there were others wh
23、o _8_ (win) instead, he wondered. But that is the nature of prizes. They are a lottery. _9_ chaos reigned around him, he was calm, assured and thoughtful, talking (after nipping upstairs to fetch a smart jacket for our interview) about his belief in the power of stories and _10_ those that he wrote
24、would often explore wasted lives and opportunities.Ive always had a faith that it should be possible, if you tell stories in a certain way, to transcend barriers of race, class and ethnicity.For me, he is one of the great living writers working in any language. All writers can tell stories. Ishiguro
25、 tells stories on _11_ level.He places the reader in some sort of alternative reality - which might be the future, it might be the present, it might be the past. They feel like places that are whole and real, _12_ you dont know them.Theyre weird and not necessarily happy places. But theyre places th
26、at you can inhabit and relate to, and you become deeply involved with the characters. Thats the writers job-he just does it better than most.【答案】7. had been awarded 8. should have won 9. While/Although/Though 10. how 11. another 12. but【解析】这是一篇记叙文。当得知自己获得诺贝尔文学奖时,Kazuo Ishiguro感到非常意外,简直不敢相信。他始终坚信,一定存
27、在这样一种能跨越种族和阶级壁垒的叙述方式。【7题详解】考查动词时态语态。句意:40分钟前得知自己获得诺贝尔文学奖的Kazuo Ishiguro问道:“诺贝尔奖得主应该如何着装?”he 和 award 有逻辑上的被动关系,且 award 的动作在 find out 的过去已经发生,而 find out 是过去发生的动作,故此处应使用过去完成时。因此 award 应用过去完成时的被动形式。故正确答案为 had been awarded。【8题详解】考查虚拟语气。句意:他想也许其他人应该赢得比赛,而实际上并没有。根据句意可知should + 完成时表示过去本应做某事,而实际未做,故正确答案为 sho
28、uld have won。【9题详解】考查连词。句意:虽然他周围一片混乱,但他仍很冷静,很有自信,也很有思想。句子的前后部分为转折关系,在自然语序的让步状语从句中,although,though,while 都可表示“虽然”之意,均可置于句首。句首单词首字母应大写。故正确答案为 While 或 Although 或 Though。【10题详解】考查连接词。句意:尽管他周围一片混乱,但他很冷静,很有自信,也很有思想,他(在匆匆上楼为我们的采访拿了一件漂亮的夹克之后)谈论着他对故事的力量的信念,以及他写的那些故事如何经常探索被浪费的生命和机会。本句为名词性从句,从句中缺少方式状语,故填how 意为
29、“如何”,符合句意。故正确答案为 how。【11题详解】考查代词。句意:Ishiguro 在另一个层面上讲故事。此处泛指三个或三个以上的人或物,故正确答案为 another。【12题详解】考查连词。句意:他们感觉就像完整而真实的地方,但你并不了解他们。句子的前后部分为转折关系,因此用 but 连接。故正确答案为 but。Section C(7%)Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is
30、one word more than you need.Now, let me say a few words to our American friends. Climate change is one of the major_13_of our time. It is already changing our daily lives but it is global.

37、出,离开”。故正确答案为B。【15题详解】考查名词。结合句意,“我”几分钟前刚刚对特朗普总统说了这番话。assessment 意为“评定,评价”,this 修饰名词 assessment。故正确答案为A。【16题详解】考查形容词。结合句意,“我”呼吁他们来这里和“我们”一起工作,共同为“我们”的气候和环境找到具体的解决方案。concrete 为形容词,意为“具体的”,修饰名词 solution。故正确答案为D。【17题详解】考查非谓语动词。结合句意,“我”明确重申,巴黎协定将继续不可逆转,不仅由法国,而且由所有其他国家执行。implement 意为“实施,执行”,Paris agreement
38、 与 implement 之间是被动关系,此处是一般将来时的被动,因此 implement 应用过去分词形式。故正确答案为G。【18题详解】考查名词。结合句意,在接下来的几个小时里,“我”将有机会与“我们”的主要伙伴对话,确定一个共同的战略,并发起新的倡议。new 为形容词,修饰可数名词 initiative,initiative 意为“倡议”,此处用复数形式。故正确答案为H。【19题详解】考查形容词。结合句意,我们会成功,因为我们全身心投入,因为无论我们生活在哪里,无论我们是谁,我们都肩负着让我们的星球再次变得伟大的共同责任。此处为系表结构,用形容词作表语,fully-committed 意

53、【25题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。根据本空后的“for me to get hot under collar when I read an old man left all his money to his dog instead of his children.”可知,所以当我读到一个老人把钱留给宠物而不是他的子女时我通常(usual)会很生气。【26题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。根据本空后的“They cause physical problems.”可知,我感到英国人如此热衷于养宠物的行为是可笑的(ridiculous)。【27题详解】考查名词词义辨析。根据本空前的“It is the t

Even Kayla admits that, a
60、t the worst, her room is a mess.Most families at some point have at least one child whose room looks like a landfill(垃圾堆). The mess can disturb the whole household.

Her attitude changed after her family did that. By the time she gave in and clean

69、混乱时,有的父母一直唠叨结果适得其反,专家就此给出了一些行之有效的建议。【35题详解】主旨大意题。文章主要描述孩子们的卧室普遍存在一团糟的现象并给出了一些让孩子们打扫他们卧室的方法。如倒数第二段第一句 Humour can help, too. 和最后一段第一句中 also recommends that parents first ask children in a nice way to clean up and agree on a reasonable time limit 这些方法,因此A项“如何让孩子们打扫他们的卧室”能概括文章主旨,可作为这篇文章的标题。故A项正确。B项,“纠正孩
70、子坏习惯的方法”。太过宽泛,文章只提及不打扫卧室这一坏习惯。故B项错误。C项,“鼓励孩子们分担更多的家务”。过于片面,文章仅提及鼓励孩子们打扫自己的卧室。故C项错误。D项,“打扫房间的小窍门”。文中未提及。故D项错误。故正确答案为A。【36题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句 Even Kayla admits that, at the worst, her room is a mess. 可知,Kayla 承认她的房间有时不整洁,需要打扫。故正确答案为C。【37题详解】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段第一句 Parenting expert, Jim Fay, also recommend
71、s that parents first ask children in a nice way to clean up and agree on a reasonable time limit. 可知,当孩子的房间看起来像垃圾填埋场时,首先,父母应该用一种友好的方式问他们,并设置一个合理的时间限制。故正确答案为D。【38题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第三段前两句 Some parents let it go, believing that a bedroom is private space for children to manage as they wish. Others lecture
72、their children, offer rewards for cleaning, or punish them when they dont. 可知,父母对孩子们的卧室清洁意见不一。故B项正确。A项,“玩捉迷藏可以帮助孩子们改变他们的态度”。文章只提及 Perkins 夫人把孩子的衣服藏起来使其保持房间的干净,并无“玩捉迷藏可以帮助孩子们改变他们的态度”之意。故A项错误。C项,“如果父母像对待老板一样对待孩子,他们的表现往往会更好”。根据文章最后一段最后一句 Children often behave better if you treat them in the way you wou
73、ld want to be treated by your boss at work with respect and high expectations. 可知,如果父母以在工作中希望老板对待自己的方式那样对待孩子,他们的表现往往会更好。故C项错误。D项,“当他们的房间太干净时,大多数孩子感到不舒服”。文中未提及。故D项错误。故正确答案为B。(B)You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a
74、 cold and difficult place. They did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. They are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as they are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(内化)your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay
75、 that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they dont let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they dont blame the
76、mselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter.

102、that could be our bright future die in infancy. 可知,国家经济可能依赖于那些创新企业。故A项正确。B项,“一个人脉广泛的寡头政治的崛起与美国的理想背道而驰”。根据文章倒数第三段第二句 As such, the rise of a well-connected oligarchy (寡头政治) that protects big business at the expense of small business, and the established over the new, is opposite to American ideals. 可知
103、,一个以牺牲小企业为代价保护大企业、建立在新企业之上的关系良好的寡头政治的崛起,与美国的理想背道而驰,B项叙述不够全面。故B项错误。C项,“收入不平等是政府应该采取行动来解决的问题”。根据文章倒数第二段第一句 Income inequality which is directly caused by faulty government policy is being promoted as the reason to impose more of that bad policy. 可知,收入不平等是由政府采取错误的政策直接造成的。故C项错误。D项,“政府通过自由市场法则来选择赢家和输家”。根据

106、ith connections, distribute campaign contributions and even write regulations for themselves. 可知,成熟而成功的公司可以雇佣有关系的前议员,没有提及数量。故B项错误。D项,“政客们喜欢向经营状况较差的公司提供财务援助”。文中未提及。故D项错误。故正确答案为C。【46题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段最后一句 Policy must breed our new and small businesses or see the as-yet undreamed of innovations that co
107、uld be our bright future die in infancy. 可知,作者认为政策必须培育新企业和小企业,不然就看着那些可能成为我们光明未来的创新在襁褓中夭折。由此可推知对于中小企业的发展,作者的态度是关心的(concerned)。故D项正确。A项意为“满足的”,B项意为“自信的”,C项意为“确信的”,均不符合文意。故正确答案为D。【点睛】根据事物的定义或者对事物总体的概括,从而判断出哪些具体事物或者具体的实践应该属于定义的范围或者是概括的范围是我们经常见到的推理判断题的题型。要解决这样的判断题,首先要讲对事物的定义或者对事物的总体概括要读清楚,然后根据对比4个选项,哪个选项
