The comet really returned on time and it was named “Halleys Comet” in honor of Edmund Halley.【答案】11. sights 12. have shown/have been showing 13. after【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了哈雷彗星命名的由来。【11题详解】考查可数名词的数。句意：彗星是宇宙中最美丽、最有趣的景观之一。根据前文“
16、among the most beautiful and interesting”可知，此处指众多有趣景观之一，所以空处名词需用复数。故填sights。【12题详解】考查时态。句意：几个世纪以来，人们对研究它们表现出极大的兴趣。根据时间状语 For centuries可知，空处谓语动词需用现在完成时态或现在完成进行时态，表示过去发生的动作一直持续到现在将会继续下去，主语是复数 people，所以助动词需用have。故填have shown/have been showing。【13题详解】考查连词。句意：根据他的计算，哈雷预测这颗明亮的彗星将在1758年或1759年回归这距离他第一次看到这颗彗
17、星大约75年。根据前一句“ In 1682, Edmund Halley, an astronomer, noticed a comet that was especially bright and large. (1682年，天文学家埃德蒙哈雷注意到一颗特别明亮和巨大的彗星。)”可知，哈雷第一次看到那颗彗星是1682年，再次看到可能是1758年或1759年，此处表示75年后，所以需用连词after。故填after。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。Emma was on her way home wh
18、en she heard a sudden scream. Looking around, she saw a little boy on the sidewalk gasping(急喘) for air, his _14_(frighten) mother begging for help.

19、eimlich maneuver(海姆利克急救法) at school. She acted quickly. Soon, the boy coughed up a piece of candy and began breathing again. He _17_(save) in time.【答案】14. frightened 15. whose 16. to perform 17. was saved【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述Emma在回家路上，救助被糖果卡住喉咙的小男孩的故事。【14题详解】考查形容词。句意：环顾四周，她看到一个小男孩在人行道上喘着气，他惊恐的母亲请求帮助。
20、空处需用形容词作定语，修饰名词 mother，因为修饰空后指人的名词mother，所以空处需用ed形容词frightened“惊恐的”。故填frightened。【15题详解】考查定语从句。句意：Emma奔向男孩，男孩的脸已经变紫了。分析句子结构可知，空处需用关系代词引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是boy，指人，关系词在定语从句中作定语，修饰名词face，表示所属关系，意为“的”，所以空处需用关系代词whose引导非限制性定语从句。故填whose。【16题详解】考查动词不定式。句意：幸运的是，Emma在学校学会了如何使用海姆利克急救法。分析句子结构可知，空处需用疑问词how接动词不定式作动词le
21、arned的宾语。故填to perform。【17题详解】考查被动语态。句意：他及时得救了。根据前一句谓语动词began 可知，空处谓语动词需用一般过去时，表示过去发生的事情，因为小男孩是被Emma救，所以空处谓语动词需用一般过去时的被动语态：was/were done，主语是第三人称单数he，所以空处be动词需用was。故填was saved。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。In Japan, the word bonsai means tray plant. It refers to the in
22、teresting _18_(combine) of art and the planting and growing of miniature trees and plants. Bonsai originated in China more than 2,000 years ago and _19_(spread) to Japan about 700 years ago.

23、ree or plant can be used, as long as it is grown _20_ a seed or a small cutting.【答案】18. combination 19. spread/was spread 20. from【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了盆景的历史。【18题详解】考查名词。句意：它指的是艺术与微型树木和植物的种植和生长的有趣结合。形容词interesting作定语修饰名词，所以空处需用名词，作refer to的宾语；combine的名词为combination“结合”，是不可数名词。故填combination。【19题详解】考查时
24、态和语态。句意：盆景起源于2000多年前的中国，约700年前传到日本。由时间状语about 700 years ago可知，空处谓语动词需用一般过去时，因为可以表示被动，所以此处谓语动词也可以使用一般过去时的被动语态：was/were done，主语是单数Bonsai，所以be动词需用was。故填spread/was spread。【20题详解】考查介词。句意：几乎任何种类的树木或植物都可以被使用，只要它是由一粒种子或一个小枝条长成的。此处表示由种子长大的，需用介词from。故填from。第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，38分）第一节（共14小题；每小题2分，共28分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A

Led by expert Maria A. Croyle, researchers have developed a thin sheet that preserves vaccines for long
50、 periods without refrigeration. This means the carefully cooled small bottles now used to ship vaccines could potentially be replaced by lightweight films that can be mailed in an envelope and stored on a shelf.Croyles laboratory began developing the technology in 2007. Inspired by ambers ability to
51、 preserve the DNA of insects, the researchers set out to create their own version of the substance by mixing “a lot of sugar and a little bit of salt, much like hard candy,” Croyle explains. The vaccine-containing film is administered by mouthsweet news for many who dislike needles.The film is tailo
52、red to suit each specific vaccine candidate and provide a protective coating. “Weve learned over time that the key to really stabilizing whatever the film holds is to have it intermixed with all the components,” Croyle says, adding that the process is quick and uses affordable, standard equipment. “
53、We really wanted to come up with something that would be transferable to developing countries.”Immunization(免疫) programs depend heavily on keeping vaccines cold(2-8) as they are transported, sometimes over thousands of kilometers to far-away locations. Delivery can be difficult and costly, and trans
54、port disruptions can cause the vaccines to be ineffective.But this new product can store live viruses, bacteria and antibodies for several months at 20. In a paper published in Science Advances, the scientists show that the live viruses in one vaccine were preserved in the film even after 36 months.
55、 They also find that a flu vaccine suspended in their film compares favourably with a traditional flu shot(流感预防针). “The study demonstrates early proof of concept for an exciting platform for vaccine product development,” says Lisa Rohan, a pharmacologist, who was not involved in the study. She also
56、notes that each vaccine type would need a custom formulation(配方) for future stages of development.Finding partners to mass-produce for clinical trials is the researchers most pressing problem, Croyle says. They are also exploring packaging methods to keep their films stable up to 40.Size is a major
57、advantagea letter-sized sheet of the film can carry more than 500 doses(剂) of vaccine, about 1900 the weight of the same amount of traditional doses. By making it easier and cheaper to ship and preserve vaccines efficiently, Croyle says, the technology could vastly improve immunization rates the wor

D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科研团队研发出了一种可以长时间保存疫苗而无需冷藏的薄片，描述了它的功能和潜在价值。【27题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“Led by expert Maria A. Croyle, researchers have deve
61、loped a thin sheet that preserves vaccines for long periods without refrigeration.”（在专家Maria A . Croyle的带领下，研究人员开发出了一种可以长时间保存疫苗而无需冷藏的薄片。）可知，这种薄膜可以装生物制品。故选D项。【28题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“The film is tailored to suit each specific vaccine candidate and provide a protective coating.”（该薄膜是量身定制的，以适合每种特定的候选疫苗，提供一种保
62、护涂层。）“the key to really stabilizing whatever the film holds is to have it intermixed with all the components”（真正使这种薄膜无论容纳什么都稳定的关键是将其与所有成分混合）以及“the process is quick and uses affordable, standard equipment.”（这一过程是快速的，使用了负担得起的标准设备。）可推断，第三段主要讲了薄膜的可能的优势。故选C项。【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段“The study demonstrates earl
63、y proof of concept for an exciting platform for vaccine product development,says Lisa Rohan(丽莎罗翰说：“这项研究为一个令人兴奋的疫苗产品开发平台提供了早期的概念证明”)”可推断，作者引用Lisa Rohan的话来暗示这个产品很有前途。故选B项。【30题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Finding partners to mass-produce for clinical trials is the researchers most pressing problem, Croyle says.”（克

But it probably wouldnt be publishable in a
65、scientific journal today.Why not? After all, it would pass with flying colours the tests of correctness and significance. And while popular belief holds that the paper was incomprehensible to its first readers, in fact many papers in theoretical physics are much more difficult.As the physicist Richa
66、rd Feynman wrote, “There was a time when the newspapers said that only 12 men understood the theory of relativity. I do believe there might have been a time when only one man did, because he was the only guy who caught on, before he wrote his paper. But after people read the paper a lot understood t
67、he theory of relativity in some way or other, certainly more than 12.”No, the problem is its style. It starts with a leisurely philosophical discussion of space and time and then continues with an exposition of known mathematics. Those two sections, which would be considered extraneous today, take u
68、p half the paper. Worse, there are zero citations of previous scientists work, nor are there any graphics. Those features might make a paper not even get past the first editors.A similar process of professionalization has transformed other parts of the scientific landscape. Requests for research tim
69、e at major observatories or national laboratories are more rigidly structured. And anything involving work with human subjects, or putting instruments in space, involves piles of paperwork.We see it also in the Regeneron Science Talent Search, the Nobel Prize of high school science competitions. In
70、the early decades of its 78-year history, the winning projects were usually the sort of clever but naive, amateurish efforts one might expect of talented beginners working on their own. Today, polished work coming out of internships(实习) at established laboratories is the norm.These professionalizing
71、 tendencies are a natural consequence of the explosive growth of modern science. Standardization and system make it easier to manage the rapid flow of papers, applications and people. But there are serious downsides. A lot of unproductive effort goes into jumping through bureaucratic hoops(繁文缛节), an
72、d outsiders face entry barriers at every turn.Of course, Einstein would have found his way to meeting modern standards and publishing his results. Its scientific core wouldnt have changed, but the paper might not be the same taste to read.31. According to Richard Feynman, Einsteins 1915 paper _.A. w
73、as a classic in theoretical physicsB. turned out to be comprehensibleC. needed further improvementD. attracted few professionals32. What does the underlined word “extraneous” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Unrealistic.B. Irrelevant.C. Unattractive.D. Imprecise.33. According to the author, what is affected a
74、s modern science develops?A. The application of research findings.B. The principle of scientific research.C. The selection of young talents.D The evaluation of laboratories.34. Which would be the best title for this passage?A. What makes Einstein great?B. Will science be professionalized?C. Could Ei
75、nstein get published today?D. How will modern science make advances?【答案】31. B 32. B 33. C 34. C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过引用物理学家的话以及现代科学爆炸式发展带来的专业化趋势来介绍爱因斯坦1915年的名著广义相对论的基础，这篇论文读起来不一样的地方以及它可能不会在今天的科学期刊上发表的原因。【31题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“As the physicist Richard Feynman wrote, “There was a time when the newspapers s
76、aid that only 12 men understood the theory of relativity. I do believe there might have been a time when only one man did, because he was the only guy who caught on, before he wrote his paper. But after people read the paper a lot understood the theory of relativity in some way or other, certainly m
77、ore than 12.（正如物理学家理查德费曼所写：“曾经有一段时间，报纸上说只有12个人理解相对论。我相信或许确实有过只有一个人懂相对论的时候因为在这篇论文之前，只有爱因斯坦理解这个问题。但当人们读了这篇论文，有很多人，绝对超过12个，或多或少都对相对论有了一定理解）”可知，爱因斯坦1915年的论文证明是可以理解的。故选B。【32题详解】词义猜测题。根据第四段划线词后句“Worse, there are zero citations of previous scientists work, nor are there any graphics.

78、ake a paper not even get past the first editors.”可知，更糟的是，文章没有对前人科学研究进行任何引用，也没有任何图。这些缺失对如今的科学论文来说是致命的。这样的文章甚至都不会被编辑送审，这说明爱因斯坦的论文在如今看来是很糟糕的，因此此处是说他在论文中花大量篇幅进行的哲学讨论和张量微积分的阐述在今天被认为是无关紧要的，所以画线词词义为“无关紧要的”。故选B。【33题详解】推理判断题。根据第七段“A lot of unproductive effort goes into jumping through bureaucratic hoops(繁文缛节
79、), and outsiders face entry barriers at every turn.（它从一个关于空间和时间的轻松的大量无用功都耗费在了突破官僚形式的层层桎梏上，也抬高了新人的准入门槛。）”可推断，在作者看来，现代科学的发展影响了年轻人才的选拔。故选C。【34题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“But it probably wouldnt be publishable in a scientific journal today.（但它可能不会在今天的科学期刊上发表。）”可知，第一段是总起句，文章围绕着这个问题展开论述，所以这篇文章最好的题目是“Could Einstein ge
80、t published today?( 爱因斯坦的相对论今天能出版吗？)”故选C。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。Reversalchange your perspective and solve your problemIts often your definition of a problem that limits you in finding a suitable solution. Creative solutions require a change of perspective. _35
81、_The reversal technique is a creative thinking technique that is based on the thought that to change your perspective, you sometimes need to change the order of the words in your problem definition.How you change the order of the words doesnt matter much, as long as the key words are reversed. _36_
82、Your challenge is “How do we make sure that fewer people take cars to their work?”. Swapping the key words, you could rephrase this challenge as “How do we make sure that fewer cars take people to their work?” In this case, the first statement will make you think of alternative means of transportati
83、on, like trains or bikes, while the second statement will probably make you think of solutions like carpoolingfewer cars for the same number of people.Not every problem statement is suitable for a reversal.

84、r instance, the question “how might we sell more washing machines?” is not easily reversedthere is no key word to swap with “washing machines”. Yet, when you rephrase the question to “How might we sell more washing machines to young parents?” you can easily change it to “How might we sell more young

Then, you could start communicating to potential buyers how much they will save each year when they choose your energy efficient washing machine.As this example sh
86、ows, some reversals will require a very flexible way of thinking. _39_ However, thinking about the tiny amount of time it will “cost” you to try out a reversal, you have very little to lose and, potentially, lots to gain.A.

90、re reversed.（你如何改变单词顺序并不重要，只要关键字颠倒过来就行。）”以及下文“Your challenge is “How do we make sure that fewer people take cars to their work?”. Swapping the key words, you could rephrase this challenge as “How do we make sure that fewer cars take people to their work?”.（你面临的挑战是“我们如何确保开车上班的人更少?”换掉关键词，你可以把这个挑战重新表述为
91、“我们如何确保更少的车载着人们去上班?”）”可知，本段是在举关键字颠倒过来的例子，并且有关于道路交通。E选项“For instance, imagine you are responsible for limiting the traffic jam in your area.”（例如，设想你要负责限制你所在地区的交通堵塞。）符合题意，故选E项。【37题详解】根据前文“Sometimes using this technique requires you to first rephrase the question altogether.（有时使用这个技巧需要你首先重新表达问题。）”以及下文“
92、For instance, the question “how might we sell more washing machines?” is not easily reversedthere is no key word to swap with “washing machines”.（例如，“我们如何才能卖出更多的洗衣机?”没有一个关键词可以和“洗衣机”互换。）”可知，重新表达问题与关键词有关。B选项“Often it helps to add one more key word to the sentence.”（通常，在句子中再加一个关键词是有帮助的。）符合题意，故选B项。【38题详
93、解】根据前文“Yet, when you rephrase the question to “How might we sell more washing machines to young parents?” you can easily change it to “How might we sell more young parents to washing machines?（然而，当你把这个问题重新表述为“我们如何才能向年轻的父母出售更多洗衣机?”你可以很容易地把它改成“我们如何才能让更多的年轻父母喜欢洗衣机?”）”可知，这种办法可以激发创造性思维。F选项“Admittedly, it
94、 is a very unusual challenge, but it might just stimulate a creative thought.”（诚然，这是一个非常不寻常的挑战，但它可能会激发创造性思维。）符合题意，故选F项。【39题详解】根据前文“As this example shows, some reversals will require a very flexible way of thinking.（正如这个例子所示，一些反转将需要非常灵活的思维方式。）”以及后文“However, thinking about the tiny amount of time it w
95、ill “cost” you to try out a reversal, you have very little to lose and, potentially, lots to gain.（然而，考虑一下你尝试逆转的时间“成本”，你不会损失什么，但潜在地，你会得到很多。）”可猜测，做出这些反转很困难，要耗脑力。G选项“Not everyone will be able to move from an unreasonable statement to a useful solution.”（不是每个人都能从一个不合理的陈述变成一个有用的解决方案。）符合题意，故选G项。第三部分：书面表达
