10、),the challenge consists of three climbs on mountains in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, _9_Phillips completed in four years. Until now, only four other people_10_(conquer)all three of the extremely difficult climbs.【答案】1. greatest 2. scientific 3. bored 4. from 5. to survive 6. be used 7. turning
11、 8. known 9. which 10. have conquered【解析】第一篇短文是记叙文，讲述了作者认为自己从事的是世界上最伟大的工作。 第二篇短文是说明文，说明了地球上水资源的宝贵。第三篇短文是记叙文，讲述了攀岩运动员Robbie Phillips攻克阿尔卑斯三部曲的故事。【1题详解】考查形容词最高级形式。句意：我有世界上最伟大的工作。此处比较范围“in the world”，表示多者的同类中“最”，great应用最高级形式。故填greatest。【2题详解】考查形容词。句意：有时使用科学设备，有时会见当地人和游客，我从不感到无聊。修饰名词equipment，应该用形容词形式；s
12、cience是名词，形容词为scientific。故填scientific。【3题详解】考查形容词。句意：有时使用科学设备，有时会见当地人和游客，我从不感到无聊。在be动词am后应接形容词作表语；根据句意，应是形容词bored，意思为“感到无聊的，感到乏味的”。故填bored。【4题详解】考查介词。句意：然而，关于我的工作最重要的事情是，我帮助保护普通人不受到地球上最强大的力量之一火山的伤害。根据句意，此处是短语protect sb. from，意思为“保护某人免受。” 故填from。【5题详解】考查不定式。句意：为了生存，每个人都需要它。根据句意，此处是不定式作目的状语，意思为“为了”。故填
13、to survive。6题详解】考查被动语态。句意：地球上只有1%的水可以被人类使用。句子主语1% of water和use之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，应该用被动语态；前面有情态动词can，后接动词原形；因此是“be+过去分词”形式。故填be used。【7题详解】考查动名词。句意：一个简单的方法就是当你刷牙的时候关掉水龙头。在介词by后应该接动名词作宾语。故填turning。【8题详解】考查过去分词。句意：这种挑战被称为阿尔卑斯三部曲，包括攀登在奥地利、德国和瑞士的三座山峰。句子主语the challenge和know之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，短语be known as“作为为人所知，以著称”，此
14、处应用过去分词作状语；know是不规则变化动词，过去分词为known。故填known。【9题详解】考查定语从句。句意：这种挑战被称为阿尔卑斯三部曲，包括攀登在奥地利、德国和瑞士的三座山峰。Phillips 在4年内完成了挑战。分析句子结构，“_Phillips completed in four years”是非限制性定语从句，先行词是“three climbs on mountains in Austria, Germany and Switzerland”，关系词在从句中作Phillips completed的宾语，因此用which引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。【10题详解】考查时
15、态。句意：到目前为止，只有另外四个人攻克了这三个难度极高的攀登。根据时间状语until now可知，句子应该用现在完成时；句子主语是four other people，是复数意义， 因此谓语动词应该用复数形式。故填have conquered。完形填空阅读下面短文，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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。The spot of a red balloon in a tree was what first caught Randy Heisss _11_on December 16,2018.He then walked toward it and

49、ou want one right now?”The man missing a few teeth, paused and laughed. “Actually,” he said, “I have a funeral(葬礼)to go to this week. I was really hoping to get a haircut.”Then, Steller unloaded a red chair from the car. The man,named Edward, took a seat.As Steller was cutting his curly graying hair
50、,he told her about growing up in Mississippi,about moving to Minnesota,and how he still talked to his mom over phone every day.To date,Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city.They are all living on the margins,and she is aware of the power of her work.“Its more than a hair
51、cut,”she says.“I want it to be a gateway,to show value and respect,but also to get to know people.”Steller knows that a haircut can change a life.One changed hers:As a teen,she suffered from ulcerative colitis(溃疡性结肠炎)that was so serious,her hair thinned severely.Seeing this,her mother arranged for S
52、tellers first professional haircut.“To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness,it helped me feel cared about and less alone,”she says.After that,Steller knew she wanted to have her own hair salon so she could help people feel the way shed felt that
53、day.Not long after finishing cosmetology school(美容学校)in 2016,she realized her dream.Two years later,she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project,reaching out to people on the streets.Steller said,“I cant fix their problems,but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment.”Steller listens
54、 to peoples stories of loss,addiction,and struggle to get back on their feet.An offshoot of the Red Chair Project is the Steller Kindness Project,in which people who commit acts of kindness are invited for a free makeover(美容)at Stellers salon.In exchange,they tell their stories,which Steller shares
55、on her website.Her hope is that by reading about kind acts,others will be inspired to do their own.So far,its working.“You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you give to them,”says Steller.32.

59、【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“I have a funeral(葬礼)to go to this week. I was really hoping to get a haircut.(我这周要去参加一个葬礼。我真的希望理一次发。)”可知，Edward答应Steller提供的免费理发，是因为他想让自己在一个特殊的场合看起来好一点。故选B项。【33题详解】词义猜测题。根据第一段对Edward的描述“was sitting alone”及下一段中Steller 说的话“I want it to be a gateway, to show value and respect(我想让它成为一
60、个通向展示价值和尊重的入口)”可知，Steller是为那些缺少关爱和尊重的人免费理发，所以短语“living on the margins”意为“缺乏关爱和关注地生活”，故选A项。【34题详解】推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，Steller得了溃疡性结肠炎后，头发稀少，所以妈妈给她安排了一次专业的理发，那次理发经历让她感觉到被关爱，不那么孤独了，再结合倒数第四段“After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own hair salon so she could help people feel the way shed felt that da
61、y.(从那之后，Steller知道她想拥有自己的理发店，这样就可以帮助人感觉到她那天感受到的)”可知，是Steller自己的一次正式理发经历让她想开自己的理发店。故选C项。【35题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“Her hope is that by reading about kind acts, others will be inspired to do their own.(她的希望是通过读善良的行为，别人也会被鼓励自己做善事)”可知，Steller Kindness Project的目的是鼓励人们传播善意。故选B项。COlympiads(奥林匹克竞赛)are a kind o

D【解析】这是一篇议论文。很多家长让孩子在很小的年纪就参加奥林匹克竞赛，证明孩子的优秀，文章分析了这对孩子的不好的影响，认为孩子没有“好坏”之分，家长应该认识到这一点。【36题详解】细节理解题。第一段最后一句提出问题“为什么大部分家长想要孩子参加奥林匹克竞赛”，根据第二段最后两句“Thus, it might
73、be understandable that: a lot of pride is associated with a child qualifying at any of the Olympiad levels. Who doesnt want to be the proud parent of a smart, intelligent young child?(因此，它可能是可以理解的：与一个有资格参加任何奥林匹克竞赛的孩子相关的是很多自豪。谁不想成为这个自豪的家长，有一个聪明且年幼的孩子？)”可知，大部分家长让孩子参加奥林匹克竞赛是为了证明他们的孩子的潜力和优秀。故选A项。【37题详解】
74、推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句Vikash Anil says,“Even when students dont win,their confidence grows.”可知，Vikash Anil认为参加奥林匹克竞赛即使失败了，学生也能增长信心；再由倒数第三段中The claim that Olympiads actually make children “more confident” cannot be readily accepted. it is also true that all students will not react positively to “failing” at
75、 Olympiads (宣称奥林匹克竞赛实际上使孩子更自信不能被欣然接受所有学生不会对奥林匹克竞赛中的失败作出积极的反应，这也是真的)可知，作者认为在奥林匹克竞赛中失败不会让学生增加信心，所以对Vikash Anil的话持反对态度。故选C项。【38题详解】主旨大意题。通读文章可知，文章主要讲述很多家长让孩子参加奥林匹克竞赛，想证明孩子的潜力和优秀，但这给孩子带来很大的压力，作者认为家长不应该追逐被认可，而是应该看到自己孩子独特的优点，所以D项“奥林匹克竞赛：父母变得野心太大了吗？”适合作为文章标题。故选D项。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。

77、grees on how and when certain works should be restored._40_ For example,through careful study of the building, experts found that the Taj Mahal was sliding toward the river beside it!Restoration efforts then began to repair cracks in the building and halt(停止)its slide.However,such works as the Sisti
78、ne Chapel and the statue of David are not under any threat of serious damage or loss.Rather,restorations are planned to clean or touch up the works so that they look better.David is a perfect case in point of just such a touch-up project.For the statues 500th“birthday”,the museum in Italy where Davi
79、d stands today planned to restore the statues appearance.In reality,David was just dirty. _41_For more than 300 years,the statue stood outdoors in a square in Florence.When he carved the sculpture,Michelangelo planned for it to stand outside and naturally accumulate the marks of weathering.Therefore
80、,critics of Davids restoration claimed that cleaning the statue would change its intended appearance by the artist._42_ After nine months of careful cleaning,the restored David was revealed(展现)to the public.So,how was the statue different?For one thing,Davids hair was no longer blackened with thick
81、dirt.Also,the stains on his hands were gone,and the dirty streaks(条痕)on his left leg had been erased.As one art expert remarked,“Only someone with expert knowledge and long as familiarity with theskinof the statue will be aware that certain unattractive irregularities are no longer there.”On the oth
82、er hand,the restoration of the Sistine Chapel resulted in a dramatic difference in the works appearance.Through painstaking efforts,the frescoes(壁画)of the Sistine Chapel were beautifully restored by erasing years of dust and dirt from the ceiling and walls. _43_ However,most view its restoration as
83、a marvelous success.A. That should not have surprised anyone.B. A few critics maintain that the artists work has been ruined.C. Ignoring these cries of disapproval,the museum went ahead with the restoration.D. The museum wanted to understand how the changes were happening and the best way to restore
84、 it.E. In some cases,there is a pressing need for something to be done in order to save a historical treasure.F. Even critics of the project agreed that the touch-ups to the masterpiece were very moderate(适度的).G. Three good examples of such works are the Taj Mahal,the Sistine Chapel，and the sculptur
85、e of David.【答案】39. G 40. E 41. A 42. C 43. B【解析】本文是议论文。文章讲述了艺术杰作泰姬陵、大卫的雕塑和西斯廷教堂进行的修复工作以及由此一起的一些争议。【39题详解】此题线索是代词指代和词汇复现。选项G意思为：这类作品的三个很好的例子是泰姬陵、西斯廷教堂和大卫的雕塑。空前一句提到“certain masterpieces（某些杰作）”；空后一句中“all of these works”指代选项G中“three good examples of such works”；“masterpieces”和“works”是词汇复现。故选G项。【40题详解】选项
86、E意思为：在某些情况下，迫切需要做些什么来拯救一个历史宝藏。下文提到“专家们发现，泰姬陵正滑向旁边的河!”，是对选项E中“in some cases”的举例说明。故选E项。【41题详解】空前一句提到“事实上，大卫雕像只是很脏”。选项A意思为：这应该不会让任何人感到惊讶。下文解释了大卫雕像脏的原因“300多年来，这座雕像就耸立在佛罗伦萨的一个广场上。”空后一句是顺承选项A的话题。故选A项。【42题详解】上一段结尾句提到“修复大卫雕像的批评者们声称，清理雕像会改变艺术家原本想要的外观。”选项C意思为：博物馆不顾这些反对的呼声，继续进行修复工作。选项C中“disapproval”与上一段结尾句中“c
87、ritics”语义相关。故选C项。【43题详解】此题线索是逻辑。选项B意思为：少数批评者们坚持认为这位艺术家的作品被毁了。空后一句提到“然而，大多数人都认为它的修复是一个了不起的成功。”空后一句中however表示转折关系，其中“most”与选项B中“a few critics”相对，“a marvelous success”与“has been ruined”相对。故选B项。选词填空选用方框内的词组，并用其恰当形式完成句子。每个词组仅使用一次。appeal to become aware of in spite of be occupied with in other words44. _t
