17、y for this - the higher the better. And the fact that it might be possible to raise EQ _13_ (mean) that schools need to make sure that their students are receiving an education they really need, not solely based on IQ _14_on developing the entire character.【答案】11. successful 12. being 13. means 14.
18、but【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述成功是否来自高情商。【11题详解】考查形容词。句意:要想在这个世界上领先并过上幸福成功的生活,需要与他人相处融洽,能够以最好的方式理解并应对各种情况。空处需用形容词作定语修饰名词 life ,success的形容词为successful“成功的”。故填successful。【12题详解】考查动名词。句意:同上。此处并列连词and连接两个并列的宾语,宾语的形式需一致,由空前“ getting on well with other people”可知,空处也需用动名词作动词require的宾语。故填being。【13题详解】考查时态。句意:提高情商是可
19、能的,这意味着学校需要确保他们的学生接受的是他们真正需要的教育,不仅仅是基于智商,而是发展整个性格。分析句子结构可知,此处 “that it might be possible to raise EQ”是同位语从句,对名词fact解释说明,所以空处mean“意味着”,动词作谓语;再结合空后宾语从句谓语动词need可知,空处谓语动词需用一般现在时态,空前主语是单数fact,所以空处谓语动词需用单数means。故填means。【14题详解】考查连词。句意:同上。由空前“not solely based on IQ”可知,空处需用连词but,notbut不是而是,并列连词,符合题意。故填but。B阅
20、读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。A key question is obviously how close to the original the film is.

I, like many people, have often left the cinema _17_(feel) “the film is not like the book”.【答案】15. what 16. to please 17. feeling【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍把一本畅销书改编成电影,有很多
22、制约因素和作者对此的看法。【15题详解】考查宾语从句。句意:由于一部典型的电影只有两个小时左右的时长,对于编剧来说,决定什么适合在银幕上放映,什么应该省略就成了一个问题。分析句子结构可知,空处需用连接词引导宾语从句,从句“is appropriate for the screen”中缺少主语,表示具体的内容,意为“什么”,所以空处需用连接代词what引导宾语从句。故填what。【16题详解】考查动词不定式。句意:编剧们发挥自己的创造力,有时可能会对情节进行改变,添加内容,甚至是不同的结局,以取悦制片人、导演和测试观众。本句已有谓语动词take ,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词;结合句意
23、可知,空处需用动词不定式作目的状语,表示“以取悦制片人、导演和测试观众。”故填to please。【17题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:和许多人一样,我经常从电影院出来时会觉得“电影和书不一样”。本句已有谓语left ,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词作状语;空处动词feel与主语I之间主动关系,所以空处需用现在分词作伴随状语。故填feeling。C阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。The Great Wall _18_ (list) as a World Heritage by UNESCO in 1987. Just like a dragon, it w
24、inds up and down _19_deserts, grasslands and mountains, running about ,196 kilometers from east to west.

25、around the world.【答案】18. was listed 19. across 20. attractions【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国长城的一些知识。【18题详解】考查被动语态和主谓一致。句意:1987年,长城被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产。由时间状语in 1987可知,空处谓语动词需用一般过去时,因为长城被列为世界遗产,所以空处谓语动词需用一般过去时的被动语态:was/were done,主语是专有名词The Great Wall,所以be动词需用单数。故填was listed。【19题详解】考查介词。句意:它像一条龙,在沙漠、草原和山脉上蜿蜒而下,从东到
26、西绵延约,196公里。结合句意和句子结构可知,空处需用介词across“从一边到另一边;横过”。故填across。【20题详解】考查名词的数。句意:长城现在是世界上最吸引人的景点之一。one of+形容词最高级+可数名词复数,表示“最之一”,所以空处需用attraction的复数attractions。故填attractions。第二部分 阅读理解(共二节,满分32分)第一节阅读下列短文,从每题所给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。(共11小题;每小题2分,共22分)AIf you are looking for a place to eat in Calgary

To ease the problem, database software makers have been trying to make security easier for cloud database managers. A
55、t the Enigma Conference in San Francisco, Kenn White, a security manager at database software maker MongoDB, will describe a new technique, called field level encryption, to make data safer on the cloud.Field level encryption works by scrambling data before its sent to a cloud database and rearrangi
56、ng it in order when the data is needed for use. The promise of the product is to protect the contents of a cloud database, even if bad guys access it.MongoDBs new feature comes as more and more companies move user data to cloud servers, rather than run their own costly data centers. It was predicted
57、 that cloud computing would be a $4 billion industry by the end of 2019. That would be up more than 17% from 2018, when it was $182 billion.Companies have rushed to the cloud without understanding all of the possible security consequences. Many companies have left countless databases exposed, reveal
58、ing personal data. A database containing details about who lives in 80 million US households was left unprotected in 2019, just like the data on Facebook users.Database managers want to store their data in an unreadable form, but they also want to be able to find specific pieces of information in th
59、e database with a simple search term. For example, someone might want to look up health care patients by their Social Security numbers, even if those numbers are stored as random characters. To make this possible, field level encryption lets database managers encrypt a search term on their machine a
60、nd send it to the database as a query. The database matches the encrypted version of the search term with the record its storing and then sends it back to you.This approach only works with specific kinds of data. For example, field level encryption isnt useful for long text entries, like notes in a
61、patients medical chart, because you cant search for individual words.Still, for data like account numbers, passwords and government ID numbers, field level encryption protects data and maintains a usable database.Most importantly, White said, its simple to set up. Database managers turn it on with a
62、 one-time configuration change when they set up the database. “Thats really powerful,” he said in an interview.28. The underlined word “scrambling” in paragraph 2 probably means_.A. mixingB. collectingC. hidingD. storing29. What can field level encryption do?A. Secure the safety of Internet pages.B.
63、 Protect files with a unique style of storage.C. Stop bad guys from accessing the database.D. Enable companies to store files on the cloud.30. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Companies should move user data to cloud servers.B. Cloud computing achieved a 17% increase in 2019.C. Companies may
64、 be unaware of the risks of the cloud.D No companies were willing to run their own data centers.31. The author wrote the passage mainly to _.A. present some factsB. offer security adviceC. introduce a techniqueD. recommend a product【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31.

65、术可以使云计算上的数据更加安全。文章说明了云计算所存在的一些问题以及字段级加密这项技术的一些优势和工作原理。【28题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“before its sent to a cloud database and rearranging it in order when the data is needed for use”可知,后文提到在需要使用数据时重新排列数据,说明字段级加密的工作原理是在数据发送到云数据库之前打乱数据,并在需要使用数据时重新排列数据,故画线词意思是“打乱,使混合”。A. mixing使混合;B. collecting收集;C. hiding隐藏;D. s
66、toring储存。故选A。【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“The promise of the product is to protect the contents of a cloud database, even if bad guys access it.(该产品的承诺是即使有坏人访问数据库,也可以保护云数据库的内容)”可知,字段级加密能以独特的存储方式保护文件。故选B。【30题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中“Companies have rushed to the cloud without understanding all of the possible security
67、consequences. Many companies have left countless databases exposed, revealing personal data.(企业在没有了解所有可能的安全后果的情况下,就纷纷涌向云计算。许多公司暴露了无数的数据库,泄露了个人数据)”可推知,公司可能没有意识到云计算的风险。故选C。【31题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中“At the Enigma Conference in San Francisco, Kenn White, a security manager at database software maker MongoDB,
68、will describe a new technique, called field level encryption, to make data safer on the cloud.(在旧金山举行的Enigma会议上,数据库软件制造商MongoDB的安全经理Kenn White将介绍一种名为“字段级加密”的新技术,该技术可以使云计算上的数据更加安全)”结合文章主要介绍了一种名为“字段级加密”的新技术,该技术可以使云计算上的数据更加安全。文章说明了云计算所存在的一些问题以及字段级加密这项技术的一些优势和工作原理。可推知,作者写这篇文章主要是为了介绍一项技术。故选C。第二节:七选五 (每题2
