19、with students.”可知,因为他很容易和学生交朋友,所以此处指他会邀请一个学生下棋。故选A。【8题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意:其他时候,他会加入学生小组讨论各种科目:农业、潜水和数学。A. questions问题;B. subjects科目; C. matters事件,物质;D. contents内容。根据空后“agriculture, diving and mathematics.”可知,此处指讨论各种科目。故选B。【9题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意:许多年轻人到他的办公室寻求学习建议;其他人来他家参加社交晚会。A. ban禁令;B. agreement协议;C. depende

22、f the learning process and how _13_ (put) knowledge gained every day into reality has interested many people. As a proverb goes, “Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.” Obviously, this saying tries to deliver the message that we ought not to stop _14_ (practice) it if we truly want
23、 to master the knowledge we learn. There are several reasons accounting for the statement. For one thing, human beings are forgetful beings, and for another, knowledge has become more and more complicated and it cant be understood if we do not practice _15_ we have learned repeatedly.【答案】13. to put
24、14. practicing 15. what【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了学习过程中练习的重要性。【13题详解】考查动词不定式。句意:获得知识是学习过程的一部分,如何把每天获得的知识变成现实引起了许多人的兴趣。分析句子结构可知,空处所在句缺少主语,所以空处需用疑问词how加动词不定式作主语。故填to put。【14题详解】考查动名词。句意:显然,这句话试图传达这样一个信息:如果我们真的想掌握所学的知识,就不应该停止练习。stop to do sth. 停下来去做某事;stop doing sth.停止做某事,此处表示不要停止练习,所以空处需用动名词作宾语。故填practicing
25、。【15题详解】考查宾语从句。句意:一方面,人类是健忘的人,另一方面,知识变得越来越复杂,如果我们不反复实践我们所学的知识,它就无法被理解。分析句子结构可知,“we have learned repeatedly.”是宾语从句,作动词 practice的宾语,从句动词learned后缺少宾语,表示具体的内容,所以此处需用连接词what引导宾语从句。故填what。B阅读下列短文。根据短文内容填空,在未给提示词的空白处仅填写 1个适当的单词,在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。Most of us assume that we communicate _16_ (good) with
26、 our friends and loved ones than we do with strangers. However, _17_ is often the case that the closer we are to somebody, the less likely we are to listen carefully to them. The reason _18_ many people unconsciously “tune out” their family members or close friends is that they think they already kn
27、ow what the other person is going to say. It is similar _19_ the way in which you might not notice signs, landmarks, or scenery on a path you have travelled down numerous times.【答案】16. better 17. it 18. why 19. to【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了亲密沟通偏见:通常情况下,我们和某人越亲近,就越不可能仔细倾听他们的意见。【16题详解】考查比较级。句意:我们大多数人都认为,我们与
28、朋友和爱人的交流要比与陌生人的交流更好。空处需用good对应的副词作状语修饰动词communicate,再由空后“ than we do with strangers. ”可知,空处需用比较级,将与朋友和爱人的交流和与陌生的交流作比较。故填better。【17题详解】考查代词。句意:然而,通常情况下,我们与某人越亲近,我们就越不可能仔细倾听他们的话。It is often the case that通常情况下,固定句型,此处it作形式主语,真正的主语是that引导主语从句。故填it。【18题详解】考查定语从句。句意:许多人无意识地“忽视”他们的家人或亲密朋友的原因是,他们认为自己已经知道对方会
29、说什么。分析句子结构可知,空处需用关系词引导定语从句,先行词是reason,指原因,关系词在定语从句中作状语,所以空处需用关系副词why引导定语从句。故填why。【19题详解】考查固定短语。句意:这就像你可能不会注意到你多次走过的一条路上的标志、地标或风景一样。be similar to与相似,固定短语。故填to。C阅读下列短文。根据短文内容填空,在未给提示词的空白处仅填写 1个适当的单词,在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。Like many major events, a marathon can generate a massive carbon footprint. Th
30、ousands travel - some by plane - to the location. Waste from food packaging and goody bags gets _20_ (leave) behind by spectators and runners. For example, during the London Marathon in 2018, 47,000 plastic bottles _21_ (collect), although some were recycled. This is becoming a big issue for cities
31、how to host a worthwhile event, encouraging people to exercise and help charities, whilst protecting the environment? Over the last few years, several cities _22_ (develop) formal plans to reduce their environmental impact and promote sustainable ideas. One event in Wales, for example, introduced re
32、cycling for old running kit and ethically sourced the race T-shirts.【答案】20. left 21. were collected 22. have developed【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。现如今,许多城市和乡镇都举办了马拉松比赛,马拉松旨在为一些公益活动募集资金,但马拉松的举办也为城市带来了环境问题。有一些城市已经采取了一些措施,来保证马拉松比赛的可持续性发展。【20题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:食物包装和糖果袋的垃圾会被观众和赛跑者留下。此处表示“食物包装和糖果袋的垃圾会被留下”,所以此处get后需接过去分词,g
33、et done使被。故填left。【21题详解】考查被动语态。句意:例如,在2018年伦敦马拉松比赛期间,共收集了4.7万个塑料瓶,尽管有些被回收了。由时间状语in 2018可知,空处谓语动词需用一般过去时,因为塑料瓶被收集,所以空处谓语动词需用一般过去时的被动语态:was/were done,主语是复数,所以be动词用were。故填were collected。【22题详解】考查时态。句意:在过去的几年里,一些城市已经制定了正式的计划来减少它们对环境的影响,并推广可持续发展的理念。根据时间状语“over the last few years”可知,空处谓语动词需用现在完成时态,表示过去发生的
34、动作一直持续到现在,且将有可能继续下去;主语是复数cities,所以此处助动词需用have。故填have developed。第三部分:阅读理解(共三节,共42分)第一节(共11小题;每小题2分,共22分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。AEvery year, Earth Day is celebrated on April 22, and people all around the world celebrate this day by taking part in environmental awareness activities and workin

58、演可以帮助孩子的语言发育,发展孩子的社交技能,帮助他们战胜恐惧心理等。【26题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Forexample, boysmaypretendtoshaveliketheirfathersorperformvarioustasksaroundtheirhomes.Girls, meanwhile, oftenpretendtobemotherstodosomedailytasks, particularlyifitinvolvescaringforyoungbabies. ”可知男孩们可能假装像父亲一样刮胡子或在家里表演各种任务,女孩们假装成妈妈做一些日常任务如照顾小宝宝

At times, the children will disagree, so they must learn to negotiate and compromise with one another, and they must learn to apologize when they have strong a
60、rguments or disagreements as well.”可知当涉及到小组活动时,孩子们有不同的角色分工,一些扮演领导者然而其他人们扮演追随者,有时孩子们会产生分歧,所以他们必须学会去协商妥协,可以得知作者相信角色扮演可以使孩子明白怎样做领导者和追随者。故选D项。【28题详解】词义猜测题。根据第五段的第一句话“Anotherbeneficialaspectofrole-playingisthatitcanhelpchildrendealwithcertainactionsthatmaycausethememotional(情感的)pain,suchasthefeartheyface

74、, college was about character building. Today, our characters are in decline.(一个世纪以前,上大学是为了塑造品格。如今,我们的品格在下降)”可知,作者对以前的大学是认可的,赞同的。故选C。【32题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段“To prevent the death of mans character, Brooks urges rediscovering our human natures through falling in love. And by love he means love for a task,

77、acter, Brooks urges rediscovering our human natures through falling in love.(为了预防人格的消亡,Brooks竭力主张通过爱来重新发现我们人类的天性)”可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是为了唤起人们对于性格培养的关注。故选D。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的七个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。Bad News for the Highly IntelligentThere are advantages to being smart.

The researchers compared the percentage of those who reported disorder to the national average and found that Mensas highly intelligent members were more likely to s

This theory holds that, for all of its advantages, being highly intelligent is associated with psychological and physiological “overexcitabilities”, or OE. _35_Th

87、易有精神障碍。【34题详解】根据上文“There are advantages to being smart.(聪明是有好处的)”与下文“The researchers compared the percentage of those who reported disorder to the national average and found that Mensas highly intelligent members were more likely to suffer from a range of serious disorders.(研究人员对比了那些报告失调的人与全国平均水平的比例
88、,发现门萨的高智商成员更有可能患有一系列严重的失调)”形成正反对比,上文讲述积极意义对高智商者有利,而下文的消极影响对于高智商者则是坏消息。所以A 选项Now theres some bad news for those smart people.(现在有些坏消息要告诉那些聪明人)符合上下语境。故选A。【35题详解】根据下文“This can include anything from an astonishing sound to conflict with another person.(这可能包括任何事情,从惊人的声音到与他人发生冲突)”可知,本句应与an astonishing sou
89、nd和conflict with another person有关。据此,C选项It is an unusually strong reaction to an environmental threat or abuse.(这是对环境威胁或虐待的异常强烈的反应)分别与an astonishing sound、conflict with another person相一致。故选C。【36题详解】根据上文“A highly intelligent person may overanalyze a disapproving comment made by a boss, imagining nega
90、tive outcomes that simply wouldnt occur to someone less intelligent.(一个高智商的人可能会过度分析老板不赞成的评论,想象出一些不那么聪明的人不会想到的负面结果)”和“This can include anything from an astonishing sound to conflict with another person.(这可能包括任何事情,从惊人的声音到与他人发生冲突)”可知,太多的负面结果会使人焦虑,且高智商人可能会与老板发生矛盾,因此更容易焦虑。E选项That may cause the bodys stre
91、ss response, which may make the person even more anxious.(这可能会引起身体的应激反应,从而使人更加焦虑)与文意相符。故选E。【37题详解】根据上文“Showing that a disorder is more common in a sample of people with high IQs than in the general population doesnt prove that high intelligence is the cause of the disorder.(研究表明,智商高的人比普通人更容易患精神障碍,这并
92、不能证明高智商是导致精神障碍的原因)”可知,高智商人更容易患精神障碍的原因可能不是高智商,而是其他原因。F选项Its also possible that people who join Mensa differ from other people in ways other than just IQ.(也有可能加入门萨的人除了智商之外还有其他不同之处)符合文意。故选F。【38题详解】根据上文“One possibility is that associations between intelligence and health outcomes reflect pleiotropy , wh
93、ich occurs when a gene influences seemingly unrelated characteristics.(一种可能性是,智力和健康结果之间的关联反映了多效性,当一个基因影响看似不相关的基因时就会发生这种多效性特征)”和下文“In a 2015 study, Rosalind Arden and her colleagues concluded that the association between IQ and living longer is mostly explained by genetic factors.(在罗莎琳德阿登和她的同事们在2015年
94、的一项研究中得出结论,智商与长寿之间的关联是不确定的主要是遗传因素造成的)”可知,上文讲的是一种结论,而后文则是一项实际研究的结果。B选项There is already some evidence to suggest that this is the case.(已经有一些证据表明这是事实)符合上下语境。故选B。第三节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)阅读短文,回答问题。Cleaning the ocean of plasticThese days, were all well aware of the plastic problem the worlds facing. Although
95、 we all realize what a serious issue plastic pollution is, its different when you actually see the overwhelming results of it for yourself.A team of researchers recently published a study on the so-called Great Pacific Garbage Patch in the journal Scientific Reports. According to the study, the patc
96、h, which is located off the coast of California in the US, is made up of 79,000 tons of plastic waste. At 1.6 million square kilometers, its over four times the size of Japan, or almost 100 times the size of Beijing.“Ive been doing this research for a while, but it was depressing to see the patch in
97、 person,” Laurent Lebreton, lead author of the study, told The Guardian. “There were things you just wondered how they made it into the ocean. Theres clearly an increasing influx of plastic into the garbage patch.”Its believed that eight million tons of plastic ends up in the sea each year and a lot
98、 of it ends up collecting near large ocean currents around the world, forming “islands” of plastic. This causes problems not only for sea creatures, but also for humans. The swirling ocean currents eventually break down some of the plastic, with a lot of it ending up in the stomachs of fish and bird
99、s. As a result, its believed that plastic has worked its way up the food chain directly onto our plates - not to mention the countless creatures that choke on plastic waste, or are poisoned by the chemicals in it.So what can we do about this? Lebreton is a member of the Ocean Cleanup Foundation, a g
100、roup thats developed technology to collect plastic waste from the ocean. This is a huge project. The group claims it will take around five years just to clean up half of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch alone. But rather than discourage people from using plastic altogether, Lebreton believes that we
101、should simply be more careful of how we use it. “In my opinion, plastic is very useful . But I think we must change the way we use plastic, particularly in terms of single-use plastic and those objects that have a very short service lifespan,” he told the BBC.39. What is the Great Pacific Garbage Pa
102、tch made up of?40. Why does plastic also cause problems for humans?41. Please paraphrase the following sentence.Its believed that the eight million tons of plastic ends up in the sea each year, and a lot of it ends up collecting near large ocean currents around world, forming “islands” of plastic.42
103、. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Laurent Lebreton thinks that plastic is very useful, but we have to stop using plastic completely to protect the ocean.43. Please provide at least two suggestions on what we can do to change the way we
104、 use plastic. (about 20 words)【答案】39. 79000 tons of plastic waste. 40. Because plastic has worked its way up the food chain directly onto our plates. 41. 略(至少对句子的两处语言进行正确改写) 42. Underline: we have to stop using plastic completely.Lebreton believes that we should be more careful of how we use plastic
105、 instead of not using it at all. 43. We can take our own bottles to buy milk tea.We can bring our own tote bags when shopping. We can buy less bottled water. We can reuse plastic bags as often as possible. We can give plastic bottles to the recycling station. We can use our own cutlery when eating t
106、akeouts【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了随处可见的塑料制品形成不计其数的塑料垃圾给海洋生物和人类带来了危害。【39题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“According to the study, the patch, which is located off the coast of California in the US, is made up of 79,000 tons of plastic waste.(根据这份研究,这块位于美国加州海岸外的垃圾带由79000吨塑料垃圾组成)”可知,太平洋垃圾带是由79000吨塑料垃圾组成的。故答案为79000 tons of p
107、lastic waste。【40题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“As a result, its believed that plastic has worked its way up the food chain directly onto our plates - not to mention the countless creatures that choke on plastic waste, or are poisoned by the chemicals in it.(因此,人们相信塑料已经沿着食物链直接进入我们的盘子更不用说无数的生物被塑料垃圾窒息,或被里面的化学物质毒害)”
108、可知,塑料垃圾对人类有害是因为塑料已经沿着食物链,直接进入了我们的盘子。故答案为Because plastic has worked its way up the food chain directly onto our plates。【41题详解】考查句子结构。It为形式主语,真正的主语为that引导的主语从句。句意:人们认为,八百万吨的塑料最终进入海洋并且很多最终聚集在世界各地的大洋洋流附近,形成“塑料岛”。分析句子结构可知,可以把主语从句中and并列的两个句子改为定语从句,去掉并列连词and并把it改为which,于是构成which引导的非限制性定语从句(指代先行词plastic并在从句
109、中作介词of的宾语)。故对句子的两处语言进行正确改写为:去掉and并把it改为which。即:Its believed that the eight million tons of plastic ends up in the sea each year, a lot of which ends up collecting near large ocean currents around world, forming “islands” of plastic。【42题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“But rather than discourage people from using pla
110、stic altogether, Lebreton believes that we should simply be more careful of how we use it.(但是Lebreton认为我们应该更加小心使用它,而不是完全阻止人们使用塑料)”可知下面的句子Laurent Lebreton thinks that plastic is very useful, but we have to stop using plastic completely to protect the ocean.( Laurent Lebreton认为塑料非常有用,但是我们不得不停止使用它来保护海洋
111、)错误描述部分是we have to stop using plastic completely。故下划线部分为we have to stop using plastic completely。【43题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“In my opinion, plastic is very useful . But I think we must change the way we use plastic, particularly in terms of single-use plastic and those objects that have a very short service
112、 lifespan,” he told the BBC.(“在我看来,塑料是非常有用的但是我认为我们必须改变使用塑料的方式,尤其是在一次性塑料和那些使用寿命很短的物品方面”他告诉BBC新闻)”可知,我们在使用塑料时要更加小心,改变我们使用塑料的方法,例如:We can take our own bottles to buy milk tea./We can bring our own tote bags when shopping. /We can buy less bottled water. /We can reuse plastic bags as often as possible.
113、/We can give plastic bottles to the recycling station. /We can use our own cutlery when eating takeouts。第四部分:课文知识(共15分)第一节 单词拼写(共5小题;每小题1分,共5分)根据句意和所给的首字母或中文提示,用单词的适当形式填空。44.
