10、 home often. When we visited her, she would kindly listen to all of our _3_ (trouble) and then say something so wise that we would leave her home with our hearts _4_ (sing).【答案】1. was sitting 2. before 3. troubles 4. singing【解析】【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了作者第一次见到朋友May的情景。【1题详解】考查时态。句意：我第一次见到梅的时候，她正坐在我家前院，抱着我
11、的狗哈利。分析句子“The first time I saw May,”可知，此处应用一般过去时。分析句意可知，此处描述的是我第一见到May时，她正坐在我家前院里，应用进行时。由此可知，此处使用过去进行时。故填was sitting。【2题详解】考查连接词。句意：没过多久，梅就受到了我们周围每个人的喜爱。It didnt take long before.固定用法，意为“过了不久就”。分析句子可知，此处表示没过多久，梅就受到了我们周围每个人的喜爱。故填before。【3题详解】考查名词。句意：当我们去看她时，她会亲耳倾听我们所有的烦恼，然后说一些睿智的话，让我们在离开她的家时，心里都在歌唱。t
12、rouble名词，意为 “麻烦，烦恼”；当表示具体的麻烦事或烦恼时，是一个可数名词，由空前our可知，此处应使用名词复数。故填troubles。【4题详解】考查with的复合结构。句意：当我们去看她时，她会亲耳倾听我们所有的烦恼，然后说一些睿智的话，让我们在离开她的家时，心里都在歌唱。分析句子可知，此处的sing与heart之间是主动关系，故填singing。【点睛】“with+宾语+宾补”的复合结构是高中语法必考项之一。做这类题时一定要分析，动词与宾语之间的关系，若是表示主动或进行，则用dong；若是表示被动或完成，则用done；若是表示将要发生的事情，则用to do；其他请况，若是表示状态
13、则可以用形容词、副词或介词短语来充当宾补。如第4小题，sing与heart之间是主动关系，所以应使用现在分词形式。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。We are drowning in a sea of free information.

16、态应跟are repackaged保持一致，即一般现在时。且sell与主语our desires之间是被动关系，应使用被动语态。故填are sold。【7题详解】考查非限制定语从句。句意：我们用无形的货币来支付，比如我们的时间和隐私，这些东西人们现在才开始了解。分析句子可知，空后是一个非限制定语从句，且从句中动词understand后缺宾语，应使用关系代词which引导。故填which。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。Finding the opportunity to read can be

19、with the help of意为“在的帮助下”，此处位于句首，首字母应大写。故填With。【10题详解】考查时态。句意：有声读物到目前为止越来越受欢迎，为它们无疑是逃避现代生活压力的有用方法，也是保持忙碌的好方法。分析文章可知，句中有时间状语up till now，应该用现在完成时态；根据句意可知，有声读物越来越受欢迎这件事情将来还可持续下去，用现在完成进行时也符合题意。故填have grown/have been growing。第二节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，共 30 分）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

Chief among those are bees but many bee populations in the United States have
70、been in steep decline in recent decades. Thus, the decline of bees isnt just worrisome because it could disrupt ecosystems, but also because it could disrupt agriculture and economy. People have been trying to come up with replacement techniques, but none of them are especially effective yet.Scienti
71、sts have thought about using drones, but they havent figured out how to make free-flying robot insects that can rely on their own power source without being attached to a wire. “Its very tough work,” said senior author Eijiro Miyako, a chemist at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science
72、 and Technology. His particular contribution to the field involves a gel, one hed considered a mistake 10 years before and stuck in a storage cabinet. When it was rediscovered a decade later, it hadnt dried up or degraded at all. “I was so surprised because it still had high viscosity,” Miyako said.
73、 The chemist noticed that when dropped, the gel absorbed an impressive amount of dust from the floor. Miyako realized this material could be very useful for picking up pollen (花粉). He and his colleagues chose a drone and attached horsehairs to its smooth surface to mimic a bees fuzzy body. They coat
74、ed those horsehairs in the gel, and then controlled the drones over lilies, where they would pick up the pollen from one flower and then deposit the pollen at another one, thus fertilizing it.The scientists looked at the hairs under a scanning electron microscope and counted up the pollen grains att
75、ached to the surface and found that the drones whose horsehairs had been coated with the gel had about 10 times more pollen than those that had not been coated with the gel.Miyako does not think such drones would replace bees altogether, but could simply help bees with their pollinating duties. Ther

83、 humility, Id be perfect,” the media giant Ted Turner supposedly said sometime in the 1990s. Why be modest? Aristotle said: “All men by nature desire to know.” Intellectual humility is a particular instance of humility, since you can be down-to-earth about most things but still ignore your mental li

Such arrogance almost always originates from the egocentric bias the tendency to overestimate their own virtue or importance, ignoring the role of chance or the influence of other peoples actions on
