4、。分析语境可知,此处表目,意为“为了”,所以用动词不定式(to do)。故填to improve。【2题详解】考查冠词。分析语境可知,此处指“在一本素描本上”,表泛指,用不定冠词a。故填a。【3题详解】考查形容词。名词talents需要形容词修饰,所以此空用形容词。故填creative。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。In recent years, trampolining (蹦床) has become a new craze among Chinese youths.

8、害的竞技运动相比,它相对地更安全,所以用形容词比较级。故填safer。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。A news report shows that Chinas urban pet consumer market _7_ (expect) to break through the 200 billion yuan threshold this year.

11、sumer market(单数)和动词expect是被动关系,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,be expected to do意为“被期望做”故填is expected。【8题详解】考查时态。此处缺乏谓语动词,由Nowadays和语境可知,此处指中国年轻人正在承受着更大的孤独和压力,所以用现在进行时(am/is/are doing),表“正在”,主语young people是复数。故填are suffering。【9题详解】考查宾语从句引导词。explain后面接了一个宾语从句,由语境可知,此处指原因,所以用引导词why。故填why。【10题详解】考查介词。由语境可知,此处指“为了陪伴”,表目的
12、,所以用介词for。故填for。第二节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题L 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 在答题纸上将该项涂黑。I was 11 when I asked my mum for piano lessons.

66、My mum says Im much more impatient with her when Im filming Sherlock.”Mark Seton, a researcher at the University of Sydney, has even coined the term “post-dramatic stress disorder” to describe the lasting effects experienced by actors who lose themselves in a role. “Actors may often prolong habits o
67、f the characters they have embodied,” he writes.A recent finding doesnt involve acting, and it indicates that merely spending some time thinking about another person seemed to rub off on the volunteers sense of self led by Meghan Meyer at Princeton University. Across several studies, these researche
68、rs asked volunteers to first rate their own personalities, memories or physical attributes, and then to perform the same task from the perspective of another person. For instance, they might score the emotionality of various personal memories, and then rate how a friend or relative would have experi

For instance, if they had init

Remarkably, this morphing of the self with another wa
71、s still apparent even if a 24-hour gap was left between taking someone elses perspective and re-rating oneself.“By simply thinking about another person, we may adapt our self to take the shape of that person” said Meyer and her colleagues. That our sense of self should have this quality might be a l

78、 real self with their assumed characters.”(当然有证据表明演员们经历了真实的自我和他们假想的角色的融合。)和第二段中的“Actors may often prolong habits of the characters they have embodied”(演员经常会延长他们所塑造的角色的习惯。),可知前两段向读者表明:一个角色在演员身上留下了印记。故选C项。【39题详解】短语猜测题。由第三段中的“A recent finding doesnt involve acting, and it indicates that merely spending
79、 some time thinking about another person seemed to rub off on the volunteers sense of self led by Meghan Meyer at Princeton University.”(最近的一项发现并不涉及表演,它表明,仅仅花一段时间去思考另一个人,这个人似乎会影响志愿者的自我意识,这是普林斯顿大学Meghan Meyer领导的一项研究。)和第四段中的“Remarkably, this morphing of the self with another was still apparent even if
80、 a 24-hour gap was left between taking someone elses perspective and re-rating oneself.”(值得注意的是,即使在接受别人的观点和重新评价自己之间还有24小时的间隔,这种自我与他人的变化仍然是显而易见的。),可知另一人会影响自我,此处rub off意为“影响”。故选A项。【40题详解】细节理解题。由第四段中的“Remarkably, this morphing of the self with another was still apparent even if a 24-hour gap was left b
81、etween taking someone elses perspective and re-rating oneself.”(值得注意的是,即使在接受别人的观点和重新评价自己之间还有24小时的间隔,这种自我与他人的变化仍然是显而易见的。),可知接受别人的观点会给自我认识带来变化。故选A项。【41题详解】推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“Yet there is an optimistic message here, too.

84、造了我们社交网络的结构,甚至塑造了我们的自我意识。),可知在社交活动中通过角色扮演或表现出我们想成为的那种人,人们的自我意识能得到积极地改善,说明研究的重要性在于它提出了一种改进我们自己的方法。故选B项。DIn college, I was taught an elegant theory of chemical combination based on excess electrons going into holes in the orbital shell of a neighbouring atom.

86、re diverse contributors as faculty members and role models. Young scholars rudely ask their superiors why they fail to address the extinction crises clarified by their research. The inherited authoritarian political structures of science education are becoming lamebut still remain largely unchanged
87、from the old school days.A narrow, rigid education does not prepare anyone for the complexities of scientific research, applications and policy. If we discourage students from inquiring into the real nature of scientific truths, or exploring how society shapes the questions that researchers ask how

Just as a healthy democracy accommodates dissent and dissonance, the collective consciousness of science would do well to embrace doubt and diversity. This could start with teaching science as a great, flawed, ongoing human achievement, rather than

A mathematician friend let pupils discuss every statement in the textbook until

99、理判断题。由第一段最后两句“Dont ask; students arent ready to know. In physics, in biology, in any other science classes, students frequently get that answer too.”(别问,学生们还没准备好知道。在物理学、生物学、任何其他科学课上,学生也经常得到这个答案。),第三段第一句“A narrow, rigid education does not prepare anyone for the complexities of scientific research, ap
100、plications and policy.”(狭隘、僵化的教育不能使任何人为科学研究、应用和政策的复杂性做好准备。),可知当前科学培训的问题在于它不能为学生提供他们未来进行科学研究所需要的东西。故选D项。【43题详解】细节理解题。由第四段中的“In science, even foundational building blocks can be questioned. The unifying patterns of the periodic table are now questioned under closer examination.”(在科学领域,甚至基础的构成要素也可能受到质疑
101、。现在元素周期表的统一模式正在更仔细的检查下被质疑。),说明元素周期表即使是被广泛接受的,也可能会被质疑。故选A项。【44题详解】推理判断题。第三段最后一句“Diversity and doubt produce creativity: we must make room for them, and stop guiding future scientists into narrow specialties that value technique over thought.”(多样性和怀疑产生创造力:我们必须为它们腾出空间,并停止引导未来的科学家进入狭隘的专业领域,即重视技术而不是思想。),
102、可推断出如果允许学生怀疑,学生可能更具创新性。故选A项。【45题详解】推理判断题。由最后一段最后一句“Treating people at all levels as committed thinkers, whose asking teaches us all, is the key to tackling the challenges to science in the post-trust age.”(把所有层次的人都当作坚定的思考者,他们的询问教会了我们所有人,这是在后信任时代应对科学挑战的关键。),可知教师应该把所有层次的人看作是坚定的思考者,这能最好描述符合作者观点。故选C项。【点
103、睛】推理判断题不仅要求考生读懂文章中的每个句子的意思还要推理它们之间的关系,结合自己的生活常识和经验,再通过逻辑推理和判断,理解文章的言外之意,从而揭示文章的深层涵义。推理判断题的答案不可能在文章中直接找到,因此推理时我们务必要忠于原文,在文章中寻找并确定可推论的依据,即:已知部分推论的前提,从中推测出未知部分推理的结论,切忌妄加评论,把自己的观点当成作者的观点。如在第3小题中,第三段最后一句“Diversity and doubt produce creativity: we must make room for them, and stop guiding future scientist
104、s into narrow specialties that value technique over thought.”,是已知部分,通过结合原文进行合理地逻辑判断,可推断出如果允许学生怀疑,学生可能更具创新性。故选A项。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。Is there a link between social media and depression?

108、ocial media with one broad brush, youre on the right track. On the one hand, participants often described social media as a valuable way to cope with stress. On the other hand, cyberbullying via social media was also a common experience for participants. Some also said that constantly checking their
109、 own social media profile was stressful.Its certainly possible that experiences like cyberbullying, comparing yourself to idealized images, and constantly monitoring your profile, are bad for your mood. Its also true for many that social media offer community support and positive messages. Given the
110、 inconclusive research, its safe to say that at least we shouldnt write off social media altogether. _50_Anyway, you cannot use it as a crutch for coping with other stressors and mental health problems.A.

113、系。【46题详解】由下一句“具体来说,一个青少年每天花在社交媒体上的时间比她的同龄人多1个小时,她的抑郁得分可能高出0.64分。”可知,承接下文,D选项“他们发现使用社交媒体越多的人抑郁得分越高。”切题;该选项中的higher depression scores对应下文中的a 0.64 point higher depression score。故选D项。【47题详解】由上一句“你可以在你的生活中拥有酒精,不让它成为一个问题,或者你的酒精使用可能成为一个问题。”可知,承接上文,A选项“社交媒体也是如此。”切题;该选项表示社交媒体使用和酒精使用一样,可能变成问题,也可能不是问题。故选A项。【48
114、题详解】由上一句“调查研究有一件重要的事情要记住,因为两件事同时发生,不一定一件事导致另一件事。”可知,承接上文,G选项“例如,仅仅因为较高的社交媒体使用量与较高的抑郁水平并存并不意味着社交媒体使用量会导致抑郁。”切题;该选项是对上文“its not necessarily true that one causes the other.”的举例说明。故选G项。【49题详解】由下文“一方面,参与者经常将社交媒体描述为应对压力的一种有价值的方式。另一方面,通过社交媒体进行网络欺凌也是参与者的常见经历。”可知,B选项“社交媒体可以是一把双刃剑。”切题;该选项中的a double-edged swor
115、d对应下文所提及的社交媒体的好坏两方面。故选B项。【50题详解】由下一句“不管怎样,你不能把它作为一个依靠来应付其它的压力和心理健康问题。”可知,承接下文,F选项“从社交媒体中获益的关键可能在于适度使用社交媒体并保持社交联系。”切题;该选项中的using it in moderation and staying socially connected对应下文中的“不能把社交媒体作为应对压力和心理健康问题的一个依靠”。故选F项。【点睛】第一、通读全文,了解文章大意。这是一个泛读的过程,目的是了解文章大意,为以后的理解做铺垫。第二、明确关联关系。任何句子都是要么和上文有联系,要么和下文有联系,要么和
116、上下文都有联系。例如第2、3小题都与它们的上文有联系。第三、带入通读,复查。做完题目切忌直接离开,这时我们很有必要将自己修正好的文章通读一遍,将其看做一片行文通顺语意连贯的文章来读,这时如果感到有含义不连贯的地方,很有可能是我们填错了空,就要复查了,注意:七选五的特点在于,错一道,往往还会错另外的一道或几道,我们叫做“连错”,所以当你发现自己有一处填的有问题时,一定要同时检查其它空。第三部分:书面表达(共两节,35分)第一节(15分)51.假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你的美国朋友Jim得知你对探月感兴趣,发来邮件和你讨论该话题。请你给他回复邮件,内容包括:1. 月亮在中国文化中的寓意;2.
