It had been raining heavily near his school in Chennai, India. This delayed his school bus, and when he finally arrived, Arjuns paren
19、ts were worried.His parents concern gave Arjun an idea hed create an app, which can tell parents the location of their childrens school bus. While researching different ways to write apps, Arjun located an online programming tool on the website of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. MIT was m
20、aking the tool, called App Inventor, available to anyone who wanted to use it. As the motto on MITs website states, “Anyone Can Build Apps That Impact the World.”Arjun got to work doing just that. Using App Inventor, he created an app called “Ez School Bus Locator.” If a school introduced this app i
21、nto its bus system, parents could log on to see the locations and estimated arrival times of their childrens school bus. Like other mapping apps, Ez School Bus Locator relied on GPS. GPS helps users determine their location, based on signals from a set of twenty-four satellites that orbit Earth. GPS
22、-based apps calculate the location of a device by measuring the distances from three different GPS satellites. Thats how Arjuns app determined where the buses were located.The app could also confirm whether individual children were on the bus. Ez School Bus Locator used a specific bar code to identi
23、fy each student. Students checked in when they got on and off the bus by using bar codes on their phones. As the bus driver drove, the app sent automatic messages to parents.Does Ez School Bus Locator sound like a good idea? MIT thought so. In 2012, MIT held a contest to honor the best apps that had
24、 been created using App Inventor. Arjuns app won first place in the K-8 division, and in 2013, the app was available for purchase online.Arjun didnt stop there.

Youll see a lot of opportunities to use your skills to make this world a better place to live!”(Arjun并没有就此止步。他继续开发新的应用程序，甚至成立了自己的软件开发公司。当被问及其他年轻发明家的建议时，Arjun建议道：“寻找身边的问题，并从中获得灵感。你会看
32、到很多运用你技能的机会来让这个世界变得更美好!”)”可知，Arjun继续从事软件开发工作，是为了解决他在世界上看到的问题。故选C。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，Arjun Kumar因为暴风雨回家很晚，父母很担心这一问题中得到启发，从而开发了一款应用程序，可以告诉父母孩子的校车的位置。同时他并没有因此而止步，而是继续从事软件开发工作，来解决他在世界上遇到的问题。由此推知，Arjun Kumar的故事告诉我们：好的问题解决者首先是发现问题的人。故选D。CA century ago, millions of Quino checkerspot butterflies flew abov
33、e Southern California. Each about the size of a paperclip, the Quinos hatched in great numbers each spring.Toward the end of the twentieth century, however, the development of farms and cities dramatically reduced the butterflys habitat. By 1997, the population of the Quinos had declined to a tiny a
34、mount of its historical numbers.The Quinos situation continued to worsen. Wildfires burned much of its habitat, and temperatures were getting warmer and drier, making the environment more difficult to the butterflys host plant called the dwarf plantain.Scientists knew that Quino caterpillars relied
35、on the dwarf plantain as a food source. Each spring, the adult female butterflies laid eggs on dwarf plantains. When the caterpillars hatched, they fed on the plantain leaves. However, in the hot, dry summer, the plantains died off. The caterpillars responded by entering a state called diapause. The
36、n, when normal winter rains came and the plantains flowers came out again, the caterpillars came back to life and started eating. Once theyd grown large enough, the caterpillars formed pupae and emerged as adult butterflies. This strategy worked well in most years, but as average temperatures rose a
37、nd rainfall decreased, the caterpillars werent getting sufficient food, and fewer developed into butterflies.Because the area where they lived was surrounded by developed cities and desert landscapes, the Quinos had limited options. They took off anyway, flying eastward into the hills. They landed i
38、n mountainous open spaces east of Los Angeles and San Diego. They found no dwarf plantains there. The females began laying their eggs on the leaves of other plants, primarily the Collinsia concolor. These plants remained green longer into the summer months. When the caterpillars Quinos survived, and
39、 their numbers grew in their new home.Scientists were surprised when they began encounter innumerous Qunios in the eastern hills. They were cheered to learn that these small insects had adapted to changing conditions. The Quinos demonstrated the toughness needed to survive by finding not only a new
40、habitat, but a new food source, too.Meanwhile, scientists had been raising Quino caterpillars in a lab and released hundreds of caterpillars into protected areas around San Diego. Between the efforts of scientists and the butterflies own actions, more of those colorfully checkered wings may soon be
41、seen fluttering above the Southern California skies.8. From the passage, we know Quino checkerspot butterflies in Southern California _.A. were an endangered speciesB. couldnt survive the winter coldC. were very adaptable to environmental changesD. couldnt respond to the food shortage on their own9.
42、 How did Quino checkerspot butterflies adapt to changed conditions?A. They travelled to a new habitat.B. They found new dwarf plantains.C. They laid more eggs on host plants.D. They learned to fly high up in the mountains10. What does the underlined word “diapause” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Dy
43、ing from hunger.B. Stopping bodily functions.C. Becoming more active.D. Surviving the hot summer.11. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Quino Checkerspot Butterflies: Get HelpB. Quino Checkerspot Butterflies: EndangeredC. Quino Checkerspot Butterflies: Small, but Stron
44、gD. Quino Checkerspot Butterflies: Find a New Habitat【答案】8. A 9. A 10. B 11. C【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种名为Quino checkerspot的蝴蝶濒危物种，面临生存环境的改变，它们选择飞往新的栖息地，并在那里找到了新的食物来源，证明了它们生存所需的韧性。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“Toward the end of the twentieth century, however, the development of farms and cities dramatically redu
45、ced the butterflys habitat. By 1997, the population of the Quinos had declined to a tiny amount of its historical numbers.(然而，到了20世纪末，农场和城市的发展大大减少了蝴蝶的栖息地。到1997年，Quino checkerspot蝴蝶的数量已经下降到历史上的一小部分)”以及第三段“The Quinos situation continued to worsen. Wildfires burned much of its habitat, and temperatures
46、 were getting warmer and drier, making the environment more difficult to the butterflys host plant called the dwarf plantain.(Quino checkerspot蝴蝶的情况继续恶化。野火烧毁了它的大部分栖息地，气温变得越来越暖和和干燥，使得这种蝴蝶的寄主植物矮车前草生存环境更加困难)”可知，南加州的Quino checkerspot蝴蝶是一种濒危物种。故选A。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中“They took off anyway, flying eastwar
47、d into the hills. They landed in mountainous open spaces east of Los Angeles and San Diego. They found no dwarf plantains there.(他们还是起飞了，向东飞进了山里。他们降落在洛杉矶和圣地亚哥东部的开阔山区。他们在那里没有找到矮车前草)”以及倒数第二段中“The Quinos demonstrated the toughness needed to survive by finding not only a new habitat, but a new food sour
48、ce, too.( Quino checkerspot蝴蝶不仅能找到新的栖息地，还能找到新的食物来源，这证明了它们生存所需的韧性)”可知，Quino checkerspot蝴蝶去了一个新的栖息地来适应变化的环境。故选A。【10题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“When the caterpillars hatched, they fed on the plantain leaves. However, in the hot, dry summer, the plantains died off. The caterpillars responded by entering a state c
49、alled”以及后文“Then, when normal winter rains came and the plantains flowers came out again, the caterpillars came back to life and started eating.(然后，当正常的冬雨来了，车前叶的花又长出来了，毛毛虫又活了过来，开始进食)”可知，幼虫孵化后，以车前叶为食。然而，在炎热干燥的夏季，车前叶相继死亡，毛毛虫的反应是进入一种停止身体机能的状态，等到冬雨来临，车前叶的花又长出来了，毛毛虫才再次恢复生机并进食。即画线词意思是“停止身体机能”。故选B。【11题详解】主旨
50、大意题。根据倒数第二段中“They were cheered to learn that these small insects had adapted to changing conditions. The Quinos demonstrated the toughness needed to survive by finding not only a new habitat, but a new food source, too. (得知这些小昆虫已经适应了不断变化的环境，他们感到很高兴。Quino checkerspot蝴蝶不仅能找到新的栖息地，还能找到新的食物来源，这证明了它们生存所需
51、的韧性)”结合文章主要介绍了一种名为Quino checkerspot的蝴蝶濒危物种，面临生存环境的改变，它们选择飞往新的栖息地，并在那里找到了新的食物来源，证明了它们生存所需的韧性。可知，C选项“Quino checkerspot蝴蝶：微小但坚强”最符合文章标题。故选C。DAs Artificial Intelligence(AI) becomes increasingly sophisticated, there are growing concerns that robots could become a threat.

101、49. which 50. to satisfy【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的瓷器，包括它的发展、特性以及应用。【41题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：瓷器，又称细瓷，以其细腻的质地、赏心悦目的色彩和精致的雕刻而著称，是通过丝绸之路传入西方世界的最好的艺术品之一。分析句子结构可知call在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语Porcelain构成被动关系，故应用过去分词作状语。故填called。【42题详解】考查形容词最高级。句意：瓷器，又称细瓷，以其细腻的质地、赏心悦目的色彩和精致的雕刻而著称，是通过丝绸之路传入西方世界的最好的艺术品之一。此处为“one of+形容词最高级+

109、一篇应用文。小作者向社区管理者写信，希望能组织一些社区活动，让社区生活丰富多彩，充满乐趣。【详解】1.考查非谓语动词。句意：我是李华，是一个住在这个社区的孩子。分析句子，a child 是Li Hua 的同位语，live in this community应该是a child的后置定语，非谓语，主动关系，应使用现在分词形式；或者在先行词child之后加上who/that引导定语从句，live作谓语动词，使用单三形式则是对的。故将lives改为living或lives前加who/that。2.考查形容词。句意：我们社区的大多数孩子都感到孤独和无聊。分析句子，boring和lonely并列作表语。
110、说明主语Most of the children的情绪，形容某人感到无聊应使用bored，boring修饰事情或人令人无聊。故将boring改为bored。3.考查名词复数。句意：为了改变这种情况，我想提出一些建议。suggestion是可数名词根据前面some，“一些建议”应使用复数形式。故将suggestion改为suggestions。4.考查副词。句意：首先，请你定期组织孩子们打扫我们的小区好吗? regular是形容词，此处修饰动词organize ，应使用副词regularly。故将regular改为regularly。5.考查介词。句意：通过这次活动，我们可以互相认识，结交新朋友
111、。know为及物动词，表示“认识/结识某人”直接加名词作宾语，know sb. 故将know后的with去掉。6.考查状语从句。句意：其次，我想知道你是否能给我们找个房间做作业，这样我们可以互相帮助和互相学习。such 修饰名词或含形容词的名词短语，之后可以和that引导的结果状语从句连用，但是没有such that 引导从句的用法；so 可以修饰形容词或副词也可以和that引导的结果状语从句连用，so that也可以直接引导结果状语从句或目的状语从句。故将such改为so。7.考查介词。句意：其次，我想知道你是否能给我们找个房间做作业，这样我们可以互相帮助和学习。Learn 及物动词其宾语应
112、该是学习的内容，表示“向某人学习”应使用短语learn from sb.根据句意，本句要表示孩子们一起学习时向对方互相学习。故将learn后加上from。8.考查谓语动词时态。句意：第三，我认为鼓励孩子们加入社区足球俱乐部是一个好主意。根据语境，文章在阐述自己的想法，及对社区的一些建议。全文基本时态是一般现在时。本句也是在说作者此刻的真实想法，应该使用一般现在时。故将thought改为think。9. 考查形容词比较级。句意：我希望我们可以更多地参与到我们的社区，我们的生活将是丰富多彩的，充满乐趣。句中involved 是形容词，much不可以直接修饰形容词，get/be involved i
113、n “参与”句意要表达：希望我们大家都能更多的参与社区活动。应使用involved 的比较级形式：more involved。故将much改为more。10. 考查物主代词。句意：我希望我们可以更多地参与到我们的社区，我们的生活将是丰富多彩的，充满乐趣。Community 意为社区，根据语境，社区不是“我”自己的小区，作者写信给社区管理人员，大家同在一个社区，“我”只是其中一员。故将my改为our。第二节 书面表达（满分25分）52. 假定你是李华，你的美国朋友Peter得知：在中国，微信成为人们的重要沟通方式。想知道你对微信的看法及你对中学生使用微信的建议。请根据下面要点用英语写一封信，内容
