19、e is in the midst of a trip that will take him to every state in the nation, mowing lawns(修理草坪).Five years ago,Smith came across a senior man mowing his lawn and stopped to help.“When I came across the elderly man, my life changed,”he said. After that, Smith went on to create the Raising Men Lawn Ca
20、re Service (RMLCS) to mow lawns for the elderly,disabled,single moms and former soldiers free of charge. As part of providing free yard work, the organization teaches children about serving their communities and lawn mower safety.A key component of RMLCS is its 50-yard challenge,which sets a goal fo
21、r children nationwide to mow 50 lawns for free in their community. When a kid signs up for the challenge, the group sends them a white shirt with the Raising Men logo(标识),shades and ear protection. The participants receive a different colored shirt after every 10th lawn they mow. When they have comp
22、leted the task for 50 yards,they receive a special visit from Smith or someone with RMLCS.

27、 Men Lawn Care Service (RMLCS) 的组织来免费为老人,残疾人,单身母亲和退伍军人修剪草坪。这个组织有个帮助所在社区修剪50片草坪的挑战,完成最终挑战的孩子会得到一台新的割草机。自2016年这项挑战开始以来,有越来越多的孩子参与到其中,甚至引起了英国女王的注意。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“to create the Raising Men Lawn Care Service (RMLCS) to mow lawns for the elderly,disabled,single moms and former soldiers free of charge
28、.”可知史密斯创建了RMLCS来免费为老人,残疾人,单身母亲和退伍军人修剪草坪。故选B项。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When they have completed the task for 50 yards,they receive a special visit from Smith or someone with RMLCS. They give the volunteer a new lawnmower, free of charge, and cut other lawns with them.”可知当这些孩子完成修剪50片草坪的任务时, Smith或RMLCS的其他人
29、会对他们进行一次特别的拜访。他们会给这些孩子一台新的割草机,并一起修剪草坪。这说明一个小孩如果收到一台RMLCS送的新的割草机意味着他/她完成了修建50片草坪的任务。故选D项。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中的“So its spreading worldwide. Even the Queen of England took notice the governor of Bermuda presented Smith with an award late last year on behalf of her.”可知这项挑战在全世界传播开来。甚至英国女王也注意到了-百慕大省长去年年底代表她
30、给史密斯颁奖。女王的奖励意味着一种肯定,由此推断作者提到英国女王是为了说明史密斯的行为受到了认可。故选C项。【7题详解】推理判断题。全文主要讲了史密斯创建了这个组织来免费为老人,残疾人,单身母亲和退伍军人修剪草坪,并发起修剪50片草坪的挑战来鼓励孩子为社区免费修剪草坪。因此C项(选择修剪草坪来帮助他人)最适合做全文的标题。故选C项。CAlthough it has been revealed in recent years that plants are capable of seeing, hearing and smelling, they are still usually though
31、t of as silent. But now, for the first time, they have been recorded making ultrasonic (超声的) cries when stressed, which researchers say could open up a new field of precision agriculture where farmers listen for water-starved crops.Itzhak Khait and his colleagues at Tel Aviv University in Israel fou
32、nd that tomato and tobacco plants made cries at frequencies humans cannot hear when stressed by a lack of water or when their stem it cut.Microphones placed 10 centimetres from the plants picked up sounds in the ultrasonic range of 20 to 100 kilohertz, which the team says insects and some mammals wo
33、uld be capable of hearing and responding to from as far as 5 metres away. A moth may decide against laying eggs on a plant that sounds water-stressed, the researchers suggest. Plants could even hear that other plants are short of water and react accordingly, they speculate (推断).On average, drought-s
34、tressed tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour, while tobacco plants made 11. When plant stems were cut, tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour, and tobacco plants 15. Unstressed plants produced fewer than one sound per hour, on average.It is even possible to distinguish betw

The researchers trained a machine-learning model to recognize between the plants sounds and the wind, rain and other noises of the greenhouse, correctly identifying in most cases whether the stress was caused by dryness or a cut, based on the sounds intensi
36、ty and frequency. Water-hungry tobacco appears to make louder sounds than cut tobacco, for example.Enabling farmers to listen for water-stressed plants could “open a new direction in the field of precision agriculture”, the researchers suggest. They add that such an ability will be increasingly impo
37、rtant as climate change exposes more areas to drought.“The suggestion that the sounds that drought-stressed plants make could be used in precision agriculture seems feasible (可行的) if it is not too costly to set up the recording in a field situation,” says Anne Visscher at the royal Botanic Gardens,
38、Kew, in the UK.She warns that the results cant yet be broadened out to other stresses, such as salt or temperature, because these may not lead to sounds. In addition, there have been no experiments to show whether moths or any other animal can hear and respond to the sounds the plants make, so that
39、idea remains based on guesses for now, she says.8. The experiment by researchers at Tel Aviv University shows that_.A. tomato plants cry more often than tobacco when hurtB. plant sounds can be heard by plants quite far awayC. humans can hear water-hungry plants cryingD. moths like laying eggs on str

Taking advantage of the new research finding,farmers can_.A. harvest crops in timeB. reduce greenhouse effectsC. diagnose plant condition fasterD. detect a
41、nd remove insects easily11. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Plants get stressed Just Like Us.B. Sounds of Plants Detected Far Away.C. Cries of plants break FarmersHeartsD. Plants scream in the presence of stress【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D【解析】本文是说明文。研究表明,植物在受到缺水或者被砍断时的
42、压力时,它们会发出尖叫声。这开创了精准农业的一个新领域。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“When plant stems were cut, tomato plants made an average of 25 sounds in the following hour, and tobacco plants 15.(当植物茎秆被切断后,番茄植株在接下来的一小时内平均发出25种声音,而烟草植株发出15种声音。)”可知,研究人员的实验显示番茄植株受到伤害时比烟草植株更容易发出尖叫声。故选A项。【9题详解】推理判断题。第八段中提到Anne Visscher所说的话“She warns tha
43、t the results cant yet be broadened out to other stresses, such as salt or temperature, because these may not lead to sounds. In addition, there have been no experiments to show whether moths or any other animal can hear and respond to the sounds the plants make, so that idea remains based on guesse
44、s for now, she says.(她警告说,这个结果还不能扩展到其他压力,比如盐分或温度,因为这些可能不会产生声音。此外,还没有实验证明飞蛾或其他动物是否能听到植物发出的声音并作出反应,所以目前这个想法仍是基于猜测。)”根据其中的“the results cant yet be broadened there have been no experiments to show .so that idea remains based on guesses ”由此可以推断,Anne Visscher对实验结果持谨慎的态度。故选B项。【10题详解】推理判断题。第六段中提到“Enabling f
45、armers to listen for water-stressed plants could “open a new direction in the field of precision agriculture”, the researchers suggest.They add that such an ability will be increasingly important as climate change exposes more areas to drought.(研究者们认为,让农民能够听到缺水植物的声音可能“在精准农业领域会开辟一个新方向”。他们补充说,随着气候变化使更
46、多地区面临干旱,这种能力将变得越来越重要。)”由此可以推断,这一新的发现让农民能够听到缺水植物的声音,农民就可以快速判断植物当前处于缺水的状况。故选C项。【11题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文,文章第一段提到“they have been recorded making ultrasonic (超声的) cries when stressed, which researchers say could open up a new field of precision agriculture where farmers listen for water-starved crops.(已经记录下当植物有
47、压力时它们发出的哭声的超声波,研究者们认为这开创了精准农业的一个新领域,农民可以听到缺水植物的声音。)”下文是说明这一研究的具体过程。文章是关于植物在受到缺水或者被砍断时的压力时,它们会发出声音。因此文章的标题应该是“植物在压力下会发出尖叫声”。故选D项。DThe first patient who died on my watch was an older man with a faulty heart. We tried to slow it down with treatment, but it suddenly stopped beating completely. Later, wh
48、enever I would have a case like that one, I found myself second-guessing my clinical management. However, it turns out that thinking twice may actually cause more harm than good.In a working paper, Emory University researchers found that when doctors delivering a baby have a bad result, they are mor
49、e likely to switch to a different delivery method with the next patient, often unnecessarily and sometimes with worse results.Because doctors make so many decisions that have serious consequences, the fallout from second-guessing appears especially large for us. A 2006 study found that if a patient
50、had a bleed after being prescribed (开药) warfarin, the physician was about 20% less likely to prescribe later patients the blood thinner that prevents strokes (中风). However, if a patient was not on warfarin and had a stroke physicians were still no more likely to prescribe warfarin to their other pat
51、ients.These findings highlight interesting behavioral patterns in doctors. In the blood-thinner study, doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm (prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm(prescribing a blood thinner that ended up
52、hurting a patient) and less affected by letting harm happen (not prescribing a blood thinner and the patient having a stroke). Yet a stroke is often more permanent and damaging than a bleed.But this phenomenon is not unique to medicine. Overreaction to Fearsome Risks holds true for broader society.F
53、or instance, sensational headlines about shark attacks on humans in Florida in 2001 caused a panic and led the state to prohibit shark-feeding expeditions. Yet shark attacks had actually fallen that year and, according to the study, such a change was probably unnecessary given the extremely small ri
54、sk of such an attack happening.Humans are likely to be influenced by emotional and often irrational (不理性的) thinking when processing information, bad events and mistakes. As much as we dont want to cause an unfortunate event to happen again, we need to be aware that a worst situation that can be imag
55、ined doesnt necessarily mean we did anything wrong. When we overthink, we fail to rely on thinking based on what we know or have experienced. Instead, we may involuntarily overanalyze and come to the wrong conclusion.I have treated dozens of patients who presented with the same illnesses as my first
56、 patient, who died more than a year ago. Instead of second-guessing myself, I trusted my clinical instinct (本能) and stayed the course. Every one of those patients survived. You should trust your instinct in your life, too.12. The first two paragraphs suggest that_.A. bad medical outcomes affect doct
57、orsB. delivering babies can be difficult workC. some doctors are not very experiencedD. doctors sometimes make silly mistakes13. In the blood-thinner study, doctors_.A. tend to prescribe less effective medicineB. are more concerned about the patients safetyC. become less confident in writing a presc
58、riptionD. believe a stroke is more treatable than a bleeding14. What does the underlined word fallout in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. ResultB. BenefitC. DifferenceD. Absence15. The author will probably agree that_.A. we should not doubt our own decisionsB. our experience will pave way for our future
59、C. humans are emotional and irrational on the wholeD. instincts dont necessarily lead to wrong directions【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D【解析】这是一篇夹叙夹议。文章通过作者自己的经历论述了,人类在处理信息、不良事件和错误时易受情绪化和非理性思维的影响,会过度思考,此时我们就不能依赖于基于我们所知或所经历的思考,反而要相信直觉。【12题详解】推理判断题。由第一段中的Later, whenever I would have a case like that one, I
60、 found myself second-guessing my clinical management.(后来,每当我遇到这样的病例时,我都会怀疑自己的临床管理。)和第二段的In a working paper, Emory University researchers found that when doctors delivering a baby have an adverse outcome, they are more likely to switch to a different delivery method with the next patient, often unnec
61、essarily and sometimes with worse results. (在一篇工作论文中,埃默里大学的研究人员发现,当医生接生婴儿时出现不良后果时,他们更有可能对下一个病人改用不同的接生方式,这往往是不必要的,有时甚至会带来更糟糕的结果。)可推断,糟糕的医疗结果会影响医生。A. bad medical outcomes affect doctors(糟糕的医疗结果会影响医生)符合以上说法,故选A项。【13题详解】推理判断题。由第三段中的A 2006 study found that if a patient had a bleed after being prescribed
62、warfarin, the physician was about 20% less likely to prescribe subsequent patients the blood thinner that prevents strokes. (2006年的一项研究发现,如果患者在服用华法林后出现出血,医生给后续患者开预防中风的血液稀释剂的可能性要低20%)可知,在血液稀释剂研究中,一旦病人服用华法林后出现出血后,医生们在开某些处方时量就减少了。由此推断,医生变得不那么自信。C. become less confident in writing a prescription(在开处方时没那
63、么自信了)符合以上说法,故选 C项。【14题详解】词义猜测题。根据第三段的Because doctors make so many decisions that have serious consequences, the fallout from second-guessing appears especially large for us.可知,因为医生要做出如此多有严重后果的决定,事后猜测的fallout对我们来说似乎尤其严重。根据句意,尤其consequences推测划线部分的意思是“后果”。A. Result(结果)符合以上推测,故选A项。15题详解】推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的Wh
64、en we overthink, we fail to rely on thinking based on what we know or have experienced. Instead, we may inadvertently overanalyze and come to the wrong conclusion. (当我们过度思考时,我们就不能依赖于基于我们所知或所经历的思考。相反,我们可能会无意中过度分析,得出错误的结论。)和最后一段中的Instead of second guessing myself, I trusted my clinical instinct and st
65、ayed the course. Every one of those patients survived. You should trust your instinct in your life, too. (我相信自己的临床直觉,坚持到底,而不是事后猜测。所有的病人都活了下来。你也应该相信你的直觉。)可推断,作者认为直觉不一定会导致错误的方向。D. instincts dont necessarily lead to wrong directions(直觉不一定会导致错误的方向)符合以上说法,故选D项。第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填

F 18. B 19. C 20. G【解析】这是一篇说明文。在物价上涨、经济状况不明朗的今天,理财变得十分重要。本文作者列出了三条理财的建议,帮助读者更好的理财。【16题详解】根据上文“Here are the
73、top three tips that might just manage your money more productively and safely.(这里有三个最重要的建议,可以让你更安全地有效地理财)”可知,上文提到了关于理财三个建议,作者列出这些建议是为了让读者选择。故E选项“找到一个最适合你的建议是迈向更好、更稳定的未来的第一步”符合语境,故选E。【17题详解】根据后文“Look at your list of purchases over the last month and see if there are any regular buys which are simply
74、not necessary, and make adjustments to ensure that your money coming in Is not overshadowed by the money that then goes out over the course of the month.(看看你最近一个月的购物清单,看看是否有不需要的常规购买,然后做出调整,确保你的进账不会被这个月的支出所掩盖)”可知,本段主要是在说明做好购物清单的重要性,做清单意味着记录下自己的购物信息,故F选项“记录下你的钱花在什么东西和花在什么地方上,会给你带来很大的好处。”符合语境,故选F。【18题详
75、解】根据上文“Having a personal financial advisor is essential if youre looking at investments or are wondering about your future. The right financial advisor will start with a fact-finding check that will cover your situation.(如果你正在考虑投资或者对自己的未来感到迷茫,有一个个人理财顾问是很重要的。合适的财务顾问会从调查事实开始,以涵盖你的情况)”以及后文“So that you
76、are better able to take advantage of a dedicated level of experience and insider insights.(这样你就能更好地利用专业水平的经验和内部消息)”可知该段主要是建议我们要有一个个人财务顾问。根据上文“a fact-finding check”可知,财物顾问会首先评估个人的财务状况。既然有评估就会有结果,故本空应该与评估结果有关。故B选项“这样你就能拿到最初的花费分析”符合语境,故选B。【19题详解】根据后文“Check your expenditures and make sure that you are n
77、ot paying out for something that you simply dont need. Cost analysis is essential when it comes to making a final decision between renting and buying. The larger the cost value, the more important that decision becomes.(检查你的支出,确保你没有买你根本不需要的东西。在做租赁还是购买的最后决定时,成本分析是必不可少的。成本价值越大,决策就越重要)”可知,本段主要是在说明在租赁还是
78、购买商品之间的权衡问题,上文中renting and buying可对应到C选项中renting or buying。故C选项“无论是租赁还是购买商品和服务,都要权衡成本收益,这是很棘手的”符合语境,故选C。【20题详解】根据上文“The most important thing is being honest with yourself about your current situation.(最重要的是诚实面对自己的现状)”可知,上文提到要诚实面对自己的现状,即应该填实事求是,本句则承接上文说明这样做的影响,故G选项“有了事实会让你更容易做决定”符合语境,故选G。第二部分 语言运用(共两

Allen, _36_ (die)at age 65 from cancer. When _37_ comes to Microsoft, the first person we think of was Bill Gates, the other co-founder o
102、f the firm. _38_, Allen was just as important to the _39_ (create)of the company. Allen was, many people say, a much quieter person. He was content with the science side of things, while Gates has the _40_ (good)head for business. When the pair started Microsoft in the mid-1970s, they focused on the
103、 microcomputer industry. Microcomputers were small computers _41_ (design)to be used in the home. _42_ they lacked, though, was an operating system, which is where Microsoft came in. The companys big break came in 1980, _43_ Microsoft created the MS-DOS operating system. Later came Windows. After Al
104、len passed away, Bill Gates made a statement _44_ (praise)Allen, “Even in high school, before most people knew what a personal computer was, Paul predicted that chips would get super-powerful and would _45_(eventual)give rise to a whole new industry. ”【答案】36. died 37. it 38. However 39. creation 40.
105、 better 41. designed 42. What 43. when 44. to praise 45. eventually【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要悼念了过世的微软创始人之一-Paul G. Allen,讲述了他和Bill Gates之间的创业经历,同时提到了Bill Gates对他的赞赏。【36题详解】考查时态。句意:2018年10月16日,微软两位联合创始人之一保罗g艾伦(Paul G. Allen)因癌症去世,享年65岁。根据语境On Oct.16, 2018可知,应是一般过去时。故填died。【37题详解】考查固定句式。句意:说到微软,我们首先想到的是该公司的
106、另一位联合创始人比尔盖茨。when it comes to 固定句式,意为“当谈及”。故填it。【38题详解】考查副词。句意:然而,艾伦对公司的创立同样重要。分析可知,本句与前一句为转折关系,应用转折副词however。故填However。【39题详解】考查名词。句意:然而,艾伦对公司的创立同样重要。to 为介词之后应用名词形式。故填creation。【40题详解】考查形容词比较级。句意:他对科学方面的东西很满意,而盖茨更擅长商业。分析可知,本句中将Allen与Gates进行对比,前一句中的形容词“quieter”暗指比较含义,因此所填空应用比较级。故填better。【41题详解】考查非谓语。
107、句意:微型计算机是设计用于家庭的小型计算机。分析可知,_6_ (design)to be used in the home应是之前名词small computers 的后置定语,动词design与其之间为被动关系,应用过去分词形式。故填designed。【42题详解】考查名词性从句。句意:不过,他们缺少的是一个操作系统,而这正是微软的切入点。分析可知,_7_ they lacked为主语从句,从句中动词lacked缺少宾语,应用引导词what。故填What。【43题详解】考查定语从句。句意:微软的重大突破出现在1980年,当时微软开发了MS-DOS操作系统。分析可知,_8_ Microsoft
108、 created the MS-DOS operating system. Later came Windows 应是之前时间名词1980的定语从句,先行词在从句中作时间状语,应用关系副词when引导。故填when。【44题详解】考查动词不定式。句意:艾伦去世后,比尔盖茨发表声明赞扬了艾伦。分析可知,此空应是动词不定式表目的。故可填to praise。45题详解】考查副词。句意:甚至在高中时,在大多数人还不知道个人电脑是什么之前,保罗就预言芯片将变得超级强大,并最终催生出一个全新的产业。分析可知,副词修饰动词短语“give rise to”,在句中作状语。故填eventually。【点睛】语法
109、填空之非谓语好判断非谓语形式在语法填空题中考查多为作定语或作状语形式比较多。判断方法如下:第一步,首先判断句中已经存在谓语;第二步,根据位置判断非谓语的句子成分;第三步,判断主被动关系,选择现在分词形式还是过去分词形式。比如文章第6小题:Microcomputers were small computers _6_ (design)to be used in the home.第一步,句中存在谓语“were”;第二步,“_6_ (design)to be used in the home”结构在名词之后,应是后置定语;第三步,与名词small computers之间为被动关系,应用过去分词。因

126、就成了作者最喜欢聊天的人之一。续写部分分为两段,第一段开头是:每年夏天,我们都会去拜访多诺万先生,和他交谈。所以应该续写作者和老人交谈的内容,以及作者和老人的关系日益亲密。且根据下一段开头提示可知,此段应为老人去世作铺垫。第二段开头是:第二年冬天,多诺万老人去世的消息传开了。本段应该写我对老人去世的态度,表明心中的悲痛之情。文章最后表明老人为作者留下的宝藏是老人的善良的心。续写时要根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右,按要求完成写作任务。【点睛】本文描写详略得当,使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如:give out,chat with,die away等高级词汇;which引导的非限制性定语从句“he left us a hidden treasure-his kind heart, which shall never die away with the passage of time.”,when引导的定语从句“I realized gone were the days when we sat together chatting with each other.”。
