For example, if a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and liste
11、n more attentively in class.【答案】1. had been conducted 2. better 3. without【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了早餐对于人的重要性。通过一项测试表明,吃早餐的人的工作效果比不吃早餐的人的工作效果更好,对于学生而言,吃了早餐的学生会学得更快,上课时也会更专心听讲。【1题详解】考查动词时态和被动。句意:在研究小组最后给出一个肯定的答案之前,已经进行了一个测试。后文时间状语从句“before the research team finally gave a positive answer(在研究小组最后给出一个肯定的答案之前)
12、”是由“before”引导了一般过去时句子,因此主句应是过去完成时,动词“conduct(组织;执行;进行)”与主语“A test(一个测试)”之间为被动关系,应是过去完成时被动语态:had been done。故填had been conducted。【2题详解】考查形容词比较级。句意:结果表明,如果一个人吃了一顿适当的早餐,他或她的工作效果会比那些不吃早餐的人更好。根据后文“than”可知,应用比较级形式。故填better。【3题详解】考查介词。句意:结果表明,如果一个人吃了一顿适当的早餐,他或她的工作效果会比那些不吃早餐的人更好。分析可知,句子中将“吃早餐的人的工作效果”与“没有吃早餐的
13、人的工作效果”进行对比,且空后“breakfast”为名词,为由此可知,所填空应是介词without。故填without。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。One day, a little boy entered a shop _4_ people could buy ice cream.“How much is an ice cream?” “Fifty-cents,” replied the waitress. The boy counted his limited coins. “How mu
14、ch is a dish of plain ice cream?” he asked. The waitress lost patience. “Thirty-five cents.” she said _5_ (rude). The boy counted the coins again. “I will have a plain ice cream,” he said.The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. It was not long before the waitress came back and was
15、 surprised to find there were two nickels and five pennies _6_ (place) neatly beside the empty dish her tip!【答案】4. where 5. rudely 6. placed【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲叙了一个小男孩去商店买冰淇淋,只要了一份普通冰淇淋,但是女服务员对他态度十分粗鲁。结果男孩离开后,女服务员去收盘子时,惊讶地发现空盘子旁边整齐地放着男孩给她的小费。【4题详解】考查定语从句。句意:一天,一个小男孩走进一家人们可以买冰激凌的商店。此处为定语从句修饰先行词shop,先行词在
16、从句中作地点状语,应用关系副词where。故填where。【5题详解】考查副词。句意:她粗鲁地说:“35美分”。修饰动词said应用副词rudely,作状语。故填rudely。【6题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:没过多久女服务员回来了,她惊讶地发现空盘子旁边整齐地放着两枚五分和五个一分的硬币这是她的小费!分析句子结构,可知place在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语two nickels and five pennies构成被动关系,故应用过去分词作后置定语。故填placed。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
17、形式填空。Keeping a diary in English is an effective way to improve our English writing ability. It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. If we persist in this practice, well learn how to express _7_ (we) in English. Of course, we may come across some problems. For example, _8_ often h
18、appens is that we have trouble_9_ (find) proper words to get our meaning across.In short, I believe that it is of great use _10_ (keep) a diary in English.【答案】7. ourselves 8. what 9. finding 10. to keep【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了用英语记日记是提高英语写作能力的有效方法,它可以帮助我们养成用英语思考的习惯。【7题详解】考查反身代词。句意:如果我们坚持这样做,我们就会学会如何用英语表达自
19、己。分析可知,所填空应是空前动词“express”的宾语,结合句意可知,宾语与主语一致,应是使用反身代词。故填ourselves。【8题详解】考查主语从句引导词。句意:例如,经常发生的情况是,我们很难找到合适的词来表达我们的意思。分析可知,“_2_ often happens”为主语从句,从句中缺少主语,结合谓语“happens”可知,主语应是对应“事件/事物”,表物,应用what引导从句。故填what。【9题详解】考查动名词。句意:例如,经常发生的情况是,我们很难找到合适的词来表达我们的意思。分析可知,“have trouble (in) doing”,固定短语,意为“做某事有困难”,其中介
20、词“in”可以省略,动名词作宾语。故填finding。【10题详解】考查动词不定式。句意:总之,我认为用英语记日记是很有用的。分析可知,在从句“it is of great use _4_ (keep) a diary in English”中“it”为形式主语,真正的主语应是“_4_ (keep) a diary in English”,动词不定式作主语,构成“it is of+ great+抽象名词+to do sth”句式。故填to keep。第二节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1分,共20分)阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该

30、d有技巧的。句意:做出改变,变成了不同于以前的人。故选C。【13题详解】考查名词辨析。A. education教育;B. career事业;C. tour旅行;D. change变化。我想我是在帕洛玛学院的时候开始改变的。改变这个词贯穿全文。故选D。【14题详解】考查名词辨析。A. balance平衡;B. homework家庭作业;C. degree级别;D. interest兴趣。上大学的目的,就是为了得学位,所以作者一开始,就只是为了拿学位。故选C。【15题详解】考查动词辨析。A. talked谈论;B. wrote写;C. lied说谎;D. reported报道。talk to sb
31、.和某人谈话,由上句I thought I was smarter than everyone else,可知,作者自恃清高,看不起别人,因而也不与人说话交流。故选A。【16题详解】考查形容词辨析。A. careful细心的;B. lonely孤独的;curious好奇的;guilty犯罪的。孤独的,没有朋友,正好对应下文的It seemed as if everyone but me had made friends and was having fun.故选B。【17题详解】考查名词辨析。A. argument争论;B. game运动;C. experiment实验;D. defense防
32、御。对应下文开始做的事情。根据下文I started asking people around me how they were doing, and if they were having trouble I 8 to help.可知,作者这样做,是一个尝试。故选C。【18题详解】 考查动词辨析。A. dared敢;B. offered提供;C. hesitated犹豫;D. happened发生。根据前一句if they were having trouble可推知,作者是愿意提供帮助的。offer to do sth表示主动提出做某件事情,更能体现出想改变的决心。故选B。【19题详解】考
33、查名词辨析。A. dream梦想;B. problem问题;C. duty责任;D. step台阶、步骤。表示一种进步。紧接着,对应下文的具体的进步之处。故选D。【20题详解】考查代词辨析。A. us我们;B. which哪个;C. them他们;D. whom谁,who的宾格。这是一个由and连接的并列句,前后都是一个简单句,后半句中表达“其中有两人”,所以用two of them。故选C。【21题详解】考查名词辨析。A. attitude态度;B. hobby爱好;C. hope希望;D. luck幸运。由首句可知,作者之前是个self-centered person,通过一次经历发生了变
34、化并对比自己的今昔,所以可得出是attitude(态度)的变化。故选A。【22题详解】考查名词词义辨析。A. friend朋友;B. partner伙伴;C. guide向导;D. guest客人。作者去敬老院做兼职,与老人之间成了朋友。故选A。【23题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。A. polite礼貌;B. happy快乐;C. strange奇怪;D. confident自信。通过空格后面because she thought I was her daughter可推测出old lady是非常高兴的。故选B。【24题详解】考查动词词义辨析。A. bothered打扰;B. answered回
35、答;C. visited参观;D. trusted信任。通过文中信息得知old lady是一个病人,可知她真正的女儿从来都不看望她。故选C。【25题详解】考查动词词义辨析。A. explain解释;B.guess猜测;C. declare宣称;D. see明白;理解。由后边句子making others feel good make me feel good, too可知,老人使作者明白了一个道理。故选D。【26题详解】由句意可知,当她去世的时候,“我”非常伤心(heartbroken)。homeless 意为“无家可归的”,bad-tempered 意为“坏脾气的”,hopeless 意为“
36、没有希望的”,均不符合语境。故正确答案为B。【27题详解】结合上文可知,“我”以前是一个过于以自我为中心的人,现在“我”懂得了关心别人,因此比起以前,“我”觉得自己变得更好(better)了。quiet 意为“安静的”,busy 意为“繁忙的”,rich 意为“富裕的”,均不符合文意。故正确答案为C。【28题详解】考查动词词义辨析。A. forget忘记;B. face面对;C. improve改进;D. analyze分析。作者通过这次的experience发生了好的变化,可推测作者想记住这次经历,所以选will not forget,其他均不符合语境。故选A。【29题详解】考查动词词义辨析
37、。A. forced强迫;B. preferred更喜欢;C. ordered命令;D. taught教。作者通过这次经历使自己变得更好,所以可推测这次经历“教会”了自己什么。故选D。【30题详解】考查动词词义辨析。A. miss想念、错过;B. like喜欢;C. wonder想知道;D. expect期待。通过文章可推测出与之前比较作者更“喜欢”现在的自己,故选B。第三部分:阅读理解(共两节,40分)第一节 (共15小题;每小题2分,共30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,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。ASweat rolled off my forehead

66、rch suggests that our social capital is finitewe can only handle a certain number of relationships at one time. Social scientists have used some creative approaches to measure the size of peoples social networks; these have returned estimates ranging from about 250 to about 5,500 people. Looking mor
67、e specifically at friendship, a study using the exchange of Christmas cards to test closeness put the average persons friend group at about 121 people. However vast our networks may be, our inner circle tends to be much smaller. The average American trusts only 10 to 20 people. Moreover, that number
68、 may be shrinking: From 1998 to 2017, the average number of trusted friends decreased from three to two. This is both sad and of important consequence, because people who have strong social relationships tend to live longer than those who dont.So what should you do if your social life is lacking? He
69、re the research is instructive. To begin with, dont refuse to consider the humble acquaintance(交情). Even interacting with people with whom one has weak social ties has a meaningful influence on well-being. Beyond that, building deeper friendships may be largely a matter of putting in time. A recent
70、study out of the University of Kansas found that it takes about 50 hours of socializing to go from acquaintance to casual friend, an additional 40 hours to become a “real” friend, and a total of 200 hours to become a close friend.If that sounds like too much effort, renewing inactive social ties can
71、 be especially rewarding. Reconnected friends can quickly recapture the trust they previously built, while offering each other a dash of novelty(新奇)drawn from whatever theyve been up to in the meantime. And if all else fails, you could start randomly to tell secrets to people you dont know that well
72、.
