71、 in 23 years, a government report says. 可知，本文主要讲述英国禁止化石燃料汽车的运行。D 语篇解读本文为说明文。因为超过75岁的司机发生致命事故的可能性是年轻司机的两倍，所以日本警方正在努力说服他们中的许多人放弃开车。为此，去年3月对超过75岁的人更新他们的执照，进行认知测试来筛查痴呆症。经过努力，许多老年人放弃了驾照。但对于住在无公交车的农村的老年人来说，不开车出行又是一个问题。32 B细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Worried, the police are trying to persuade many of them out of drivi
72、ng, because over-75s are twice as likely to cause a fatal accident as younger drivers，”(警方正在努力说服他们中的许多人不要开车，因为超过75岁的司机发生致命事故的可能性是年轻司机的两倍。)由此可知，这是因为老年司机发生事故的几率比年轻人高，所以为了减少致命事故才劝说老年司机不要开车了。33 D猜测词义题。根据第三段的Many drivers argue that they have never had an accident and it is unfair to do that, so they rese
73、nt themselves being cast aside.可知，许多年老的司机认为他们从未发生过事故，这样做是不公平的，所以他们痛恨不让他们自己开车。由前面年老的司机认为不公平的，可知他们不会喜欢。分析选项可知resent的意思是“不喜欢，讨厌，痛恨” 。34 D主旨大意题。本段主要讲述为了让老年司机放弃开车，对超过75岁的老人进行认知测试考核来筛查痴呆症。在家人的劝说下有许多老年人放弃了开车。由此可知，对于控制老年司机人数日本政府和社会采取了相应的措施。35 A推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句However, thousands of elderly people are stuck i
74、n rural communities with no buses.的内容可知，让老年人放弃开车是好的，但对成千上万生活在没有公共汽车的农村社区的老年人来说他(他们的出行)就是一个问题了。七选五语篇解读本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。上周的停电对“我”的生活造成了很大影响，让“我”意识到珍惜电力资源的重要意义。过度用电会导致全球变暖，从而对环境有害，所以我们应当节约用电。本文体现了学科核心素养中“提升环保意识和节约意识”的文化品格。36C根据空处所在的位置可知，该句承上启下；由空处前一句“Last week the electricity in my flat went out”，结合该段倒数第二句“M
75、y roommate and I werent prepared with candles and matches”可知，上个星期“我”的公寓停电了，室友和“我”都没有准备蜡烛和火柴；据此可知，这导致“我”一整个晚上都在黑暗中度过。37F根据第一段最后一句“We just rely on electricity”可知，我们只能依靠电，结合空处后一句“That night，losing our electricity felt like losing a basic necessity，as basic as running water”可知，断电就如失去了水这一基本的生活必需品一样；据此可以判
76、断，在遭遇断电后，“我”禁不住想到，我们是不是太依赖电了。38G根据空处前一句“I use electricity all the time，even when its not really necessary”可知，“我”一直用电，即使在没有必要时；据此可以判断，空处具体陈述“我”浪费电的不良习惯。39B根据上文提到的“我”浪费电的不良习惯，结合该段第二至三句“It contributes to global warming.It is harming our environment and we need to do what we can to stop it”可推知，过度用电导致了全球
77、变暖，对我们的环境有害。据此可知，该段主要陈述过度用电这一问题。40A根据空处两句“So，shouldnt we start preparing for it now？Cutting down on our use of electricity would save energy resources so that they could last for longer”可知，减少用电将节约能源，这样电力资源就能供我们使用更长时间；据此可推知，空处说明我们必须节约用电的原因：然而终有一天我们将用完电力资源。三 完形填空41-45 BACDA 46-50CDBAD 51-55BCDAB 56-60
78、ACBDC语篇解读K教授是作者在大学最喜欢的教授之一，他用自己独特的教学方式，使学生对他的课印象深刻。41 B根据后面的整个故事内容可知，K教授允许学生在他的课堂上找出他撒谎的地方，因此选项lectures符合语境，而且后面多处出现该词。42 A教授在第一堂课开始时对他的教学方法进行了介绍。43 C根据后面的内容“From today to the class right before finals.in the Lie of the Day.”可知，教授向大家解释了他如何进行教学：从今天到期末前的每堂课里都会有一个谎言，大家的任务就是尽量把它找出来。44 D本文从头至尾都在谈论K教授在课堂上
79、欢迎同学们找谎言。45 A上文提到每堂课教授都会有一个谎言，后文中的“.causing a forest of raised.to challenge the lie.”也说明教授是让同学们尽量去发现他说谎的地方，故选A。46 C上一段K教授在第一节课开始时介绍了自己的教学特色，因此接下来自然是课程的开始，故选C。47 D教授要求同学们在他的课堂上尽量找出他说谎的地方，这种教学方法很新颖独特，大家当然会立即响应，都想挑战，故选D。48 B在课堂上，同学们会举手回答问题，故选B。49 Alie的反义相关词就是true，故选A。50 D根据前面的progressed与后面的became less可
80、知，前后是转折关系，故选D。51 B随着课程的推进，教授的谎言越来越难发现，后面的with nobody catching the lie说明了一点，故选B。52 C上一句说明谎言越来越难发现，接下来进一步说明情况，有时一节课结束了都没有人发现谎言，故选C。53 D从后面教授说的话可知，我们都安静地坐在那里，等教授发言。故选D。54 A前文提到，同学们很难找到教授的谎言，甚至一节课结束了都没有人发现任何谎言；而下文“Ah ha！Each of you has one lie in your.”说明教授对此很满意，故选A。55 B根据后面的what we had set down in our
81、notebooks中的notebooks可知，学生的笔记里有谎言，故选B。56 Ago through浏览；look for寻找；find out查明；turn in上交。教授说学生的笔记里有谎言，让学生讨论。由此可推断，这迫使学生不得不去浏览笔记，找出问题所在。故选A。57 C从下一句的“While my knowledge taught by Dr.K has faded over time，the lessons will always stay.”可推知，虽然毕业好几年了，教授教给作者的知识也被淡忘了，但是作者对那些课还记忆犹新，故选C。58 B随着时间的推移，教授教给作者的知识已经被
82、淡忘了，但是作者对那些课还记忆犹新，fresh符合语境，故选B。59 D从后面的check it against things you already accept as a fact可知，通过与那些你已经作为事实接受了的东西作对比来检查新信息，也就是对专家们讲的东西不要全盘接受，他们也可能出错。故选D。60 C专家们讲的东西也可能是错的，所以我们要养成一种质疑新信息的习惯，要对它们进行检验。故选C。语法填空语篇解读机器人越来越多地出现在人们的日常生活中，例如苹果采摘机器人。机器人的出现不仅能提高效率，还能降低风险。61by考查介词。很多国家都广泛种植苹果，并且它们通常是靠手工采摘的。固定短语
83、by hand表示“用手工”，符合句意。此题容易误填with，with后常接具体的工具，with后面的名词有单复数形式的变化。例如：We write with our hands.62the考查冠词。on the whole表示“整体上，大体上，基本上”，是固定用法，故应用the。63amazing考查形容词。神奇的机器人把苹果从树上吸下来，而且还不会损坏它们。空处所填词作定语，修饰robot，表示机器人的特征，故应填amazing(令人惊奇的)。64as考查状语从句。它甚至可以找出成熟的苹果并像人们一样将苹果从树上摘下来。从属连词as在此引导方式状语从句，表示“像一样”。65extremel
84、y考查副词。句中的happy为形容词，应用副词对其进行修饰。66to find考查非谓语动词。果园主人为此非常高兴，因为农场劳动力越来越难找。for后的分句实质上是“sb./sth.be形容词to do”结构的变体，该结构中，当do与sb./sth.为动宾关系时，不定式通常用主动形式表示被动意义，故填to find。67appearance考查名词。根据句意、空前的the及空后的of可知，此处应填名词，动词appear的名词形式是appearance。68reducing考查非谓语动词。用机器人代替人工作不仅可以提高生产效率，还可以降低风险。分析句子结构可知，此处是非谓语动词作时间状语。Rob
85、otic replacements与reduce是主谓关系，非谓语动作与谓语动作同时存在，故用reducing。69will follow考查动词的时态和语态。条件状语从句用一般现在时表示将来，主句应用一般将来时，且positive change与follow为主谓关系，故填will follow。70benefits考查名词的单复数。句中and连接两个并列分句，在第二个分句中谓语动词为have come，因此空格处应用名词的复数形式。短文改错Happy -happily ,weak 后加in ,happen-happened ,such-so ,bored-boring ,but-and ,
