3、m grateful for this amazing opportunity to reach out to readers every single day.【答案】1. thankful 2. surviving 3. what【解析】这是一篇议论文。通过发表对书籍的看法来讲述作者对书籍的观点。【1题详解】考查形容词作表语的用法。句意:我非常感激那些写作这些书籍的作者。这里非常感激是be 动词的表语,用形容词来表达。故填thankful。【2题详解】考查动词现在分词作状语的用法。句意:在经历学校与家庭的糟糕的事情后,幸存下来了,。这里介词后接-ing形式表示状语结构,那么使用surviv
4、ing切合文意,故填surviving。【3题详解】考查名词性从句。这里是表语从句连接词使用。从句动词doing缺少宾语,且指物,所以用what引导。故填what。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。Its a popular _4_ (believe) that fish cant remember anything for longer than seven seconds.

7、,表示“哪里”,作地点状语。故填where。【6题详解】考查时态。句意:最近的一项研究发现,鱼的记忆力比我们以前想象的要好得多。根据语境可知此处强调过去的事情对现在造成的影响,应该用现在完成时,主语是A recent study,谓语动词用第三人称单数,故填has found。【7题详解】考查形容词比较级。句意同上,空后的“than”表明此处应该用形容词比较级,而且空前的“much”也修饰比较级,故填better。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。I honestly believe theres a

10、t of you .【答案】8. without 9. But 10. be edited【解析】这是一篇说明文。作者认为联系越多,我们就越感到孤立。作者这一代人知道如何独处,但20岁以下的年轻人却从来没有体验过独处的感觉,他们通过可以编辑和更改的信息来学习对话,却忽略了学习与眼前的人实时对话的艺术。【8题详解】考查介词。句意:我认为这对我们这一代人来说不是个问题,他们已经没有科技生活了这么久。结合句意表示“没有”应用介词without。故填without。【9题详解】考查连词。句意:但20岁以下的人则是另一回事。结合上下文语境可知此处为转折关系,应用连词but,句首单词首字母要大写。故填Bu
11、t。【10题详解】考查动词语态。句意:此外,他们通过可以编辑和修改的信息来学习对话,代价是学习与你面前的人进行实时对话的艺术。本句中主语与谓语动词构成被动关系,且can后跟动词原形。故填be edited。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,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。“Hi!” Steller shouted. “Im driving around giving free haircuts.

But now, for the first time, they have been recorded making ultrasonic cries when stressed, which researchers say could open up a new field of precision agriculture where farmers listen for water-star
62、ved crops.Itzhak Khait and his colleagues at Tel Aviv University in Israel found that tomato and tobacco plants made cries at frequencies humans cannot hear when stressed by a lack of water or when their stem is cut.Microphones placed 10 centimetres from the plants picked up sounds in the ultrasonic
63、 range of 20 to 100 kilohertz, which the team says insects and some mammals would 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 s
64、hort of water and react accordingly, they speculate.On average, drought-stressed 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 th
65、an one sound per hour, on average.It is even possible to distinguish between the sounds to know what the stress is. The researchers trained a machine-learning model to discriminate between the plants sounds and the wind, rain and other noises of the greenhouse, correctly identifying in most cases wh
66、ether the stress was caused by dryness or a cut, based on the sounds intensity 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
67、researchers suggest. They add that such an ability will be increasingly important 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 if it is not too costly to set up the recording in
68、 a field situation,” says Anne Visscher at the Royal Botanic Gardens, 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 oth

B【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了,一项研究表明,植物在压力下会发出超声波叫声,这可能会开辟一个精确农业的新领域,让农民们倾听缺水作物的声音。【38题详解】细节理解题。由第四段中的“On average, drought-stressed tomato plants made 35 sounds an hour, while tobacco plants made 11.”(
73、平均来说,干旱压力下的番茄植株每小时发出35个声音,而烟草植株每小时发出11个声音。),可知缺水番茄比烟草更敏感,干旱条件下,番茄植株发声多。故选B项。【39题详解】推理判断题。由倒数第二段“The suggestion that the sounds that drought-stressed plants make could be used in precision agriculture seems feasible if it is not too costly to set up the recording in a field situation”(干旱压力下植物发出的声音可以用

75、e sounds the plants make, so that idea remains speculative(推测的)for now, she says.”(她警告说,研究结果还不能扩大到其他压力,如盐或温度,因为这些可能不会导致声音。此外,她还说,目前还没有实验证明飞蛾或其他动物是否能听到并对植物发出的声音做出反应,所以这个想法目前仍然是推测性的。),可推断出Anne Visscher对实验的发现抱有谨慎的态度。故选C项。【40题详解】推理判断题。由第一段中的“But now, for the first time, they have been recorded making ul
76、trasonic cries when stressed, which researchers say could open up a new field of precision agriculture where farmers listen for water-starved crops.”(但现在,有人首次记录到它们在压力下会发出超声波叫声,研究人员说,这可能会开辟一个精确农业的新领域,让农民们倾听缺水作物的声音。)和第五段中的“The researchers trained a machine-learning model to discriminate between the pl
77、ants 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 intensity and frequency.”(研究人员训练了一个机器学习模型来区分植物的声音和温室里的风、雨和其他噪音,根据声音的强度和频率,在大多数情况下正确地识别出压力是由干燥还是割伤引起的。),可推断出此研究可以帮助人们更快地诊断出植物状况
78、。故选C项。【41题详解】主旨大意题。由第一段中的“But now, for the first time, they have been recorded making ultrasonic cries when stressed, which researchers say could open up a new field of precision agriculture where farmers listen for water-starved crops.”(但现在,有人首次记录到它们在压力下会发出超声波叫声,研究人员说,这可能会开辟一个精确农业的新领域,让农民们倾听缺水作物的声音
79、。)和第二段“Itzhak Khait and his colleagues at Tel Aviv University in Israel found that tomato and tobacco plants made cries at frequencies humans cannot hear when stressed by a lack of water or when their stem is cut.”(以色列特拉维夫大学的伊扎克哈伊特和他的同事们发现,番茄和烟草植物在缺水或茎被割下时发出的叫声频率是人类听不到的。),可知文章讲的是植物会在压力下发出人类听不到的超声波叫声
80、,所以B选项“植物在压力下尖叫”,为短文最佳标题。故选B项。DThe first patient who died on my watch was an older man with a faulty heart the main pump had failed and his heart was beating irregularly and far too fast. We tried to slow it down with treatment, but it suddenly stopped beating completely. Later, whenever I would hav
81、e 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 an adverse outcome, they are more likely to
82、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 looms especially large for us. A 2006 study found that if a patient had a bleed af
83、ter being prescribed warfarin, the physician was about 20% less likely to prescribe subsequent patients the blood thinner that prevents strokes. However, if a patient had a stroke and was not on warfarin, physicians were still no more likely to prescribe warfarin to their other patients.These findin
84、gs 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 a patient) and less affected by letting harm happen (not prescribing a blood thinner and the patient having a st
85、roke). 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.For instance, sensational headlines about shark attacks on humans in Florida in 2001 caused a panic and led the state t
86、o 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 risk of such an attack happening.Humans are susceptible to emotional and often irrational thinking when processing infor
87、mation, adverse events and mistakes. As much as we dont want to cause an unfortunate event to recur in a medical setting or in the wider world we need to be aware that a worst case scenario doesnt necessarily mean we did anything wrong. When we overthink, we fail to rely on thinking based on what we
88、 know or have experienced. Instead, we may inadvertently overanalyze and come to the wrong conclusion.I have treated dozens of patients who presented with the same illnesses as my first patient, who died more than a year ago. Instead of second guessing myself, I trusted my clinical instinct and stay
89、ed the course. Every one of those patients survived. You should trust your instinct in your life, too.42. The first two paragraphs suggest that _A. Bad medical outcomes affect doctors.B. Delivering babies can be difficult work.C. Some doctors are not very experienced.D. Doctors sometimes make silly
90、mistakes.43. In the blood-thinner study, doctors _.A. tend to prescribe less effective medicineB. are more concerned about the patients safetyC. believe a stroke is more treatable than a bleedingD. become less confident in writing certain prescriptions44. The author develops his idea mainly by _.A.
91、giving examplesB. making comparisonsC. using metaphorsD. quoting famous sayings45. The author will probably agree that _.A. we shouldnt doubt our own decisionsB. our experience will pave way for our futureC. humans are emotional and irrational on the wholeD. instincts dont necessarily lead to wrong
92、directions【答案】42. A 43. D 44. A 45. 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。【42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 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 “In a
93、 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 unnecessarily 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
94、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。),可推断出糟糕的医疗结果影响医生。故选A项。【43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 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
95、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%。),可推断出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变得不那么自信。故选D项。【44题详解】推理判断题。由第一段讲述“自己遇到的病例情况”,第二段的“医生接生案例”,第三四段的“2006年关于给患者开预防中风的血液稀释剂的研究”和第六段的“2001年佛罗里达州禁止鲨鱼进食探险的例子”,可推断出作者主要是通过举例来发展自己的观点。故选A项。【45题详解】推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“When we overthink, we fail to rely on thinking based on what
96、 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 stayed the course. Every one of those patients survived. Yo
97、u 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。),可推断出作者认为 直觉不一定会导致错误的方向。故选D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。Optimism Bias (偏见)While we often like to think of ourselves as highly rational and logical, researchers have fou

If you were asked to estimate how likely you are to experience illness, job loss, or an accident, you are likely to underestimate the probability that such events will ever impact your life. _46_This bias leads us to believe that
99、we are less likely to suffer from misfortune and more likely to attain success than reality would suggest. We believe that we will live longer, and that we will be more successful in life than the average. _47_The optimism bias is essentially a mistaken belief that our chances of experiencing negati

102、e world. Sharot also suggests that while this optimism bias can at times lead to negative outcomes like foolishly engaging in risky behaviors or making poor choices about your health, it can also have its benefits. _49_ If we expect good things to happen, we are more likely to be happy. This optimis

106、A【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕着乐观偏见展开,介绍了什么是乐观偏见以及乐观偏见的优缺点。【46题详解】根据上文While we often like to think of ourselves as highly rational and logical, researchers have found that the human brain is sometimes too optimistic for its own good. If you were asked to estimate how likely you are to experience illness, job l
107、oss, or an accident, you are likely to underestimate the probability that such events will ever impact your life.可知虽然我们通常认为自己是高度理性和逻辑性的,但研究人员发现,人类大脑有时过于乐观,不利于自身的健康。 如果你被要求估计你经历疾病、失业或事故的可能性,你可能会低估这些事件影响你生活的可能性。由此可知,本句承接上文,解释说明产生上述这种现象的原因。故D选项“这是因为你的大脑有一种内在的乐观偏见”符合上下文语境,故选D。【47题详解】根据上文We believe that
108、we will live longer, and that we will be more successful in life than the average.可知我们相信我们会活得更久,我们会比一般人更成功。由此可知,乐观偏见会让我们认为我们比其他人更幸运,本句则应当是表明不是每个人都这么幸运,与下文介绍乐观偏见的误区紧密联系。故C选项“但肯定不是每个人都有这样的运气”符合上下文语境,故选C。【48题详解】根据后文People might skip their yearly physical, not wear their seatbelt, or fail to put on suns
109、creen because they mistakenly believe that they are less likely to get sick, get in an accident, or get skin cancer.可知人们可能会跳过每年一次的体检,不系安全带,或者不涂防晒霜,因为他们错误地认为自己不太可能生病、出事故或得皮肤癌。由此可知,下文提到的不去体检,不系安全带以及不涂防晒霜就是乐观偏见导致的决策失误以及带来的一系列后果,故E选项“它还会导致错误的决策,有时会导致灾难性的结果”符合上下文语境,故选E。【49题详解】根据后文If we expect good things
110、 to happen, we are more likely to be happy. This optimism can act as a self-fulfilling prophecy.可知如果我们期待好事发生,我们就更有可能快乐。这种乐观可以作为一种自我实现的预言。由此可知,上文已经从乐观偏见带来的弊端转到好处,那么本句则是具体解释了乐观偏见带来的好处。故F选项“这种乐观主义通过创造一种对未来的期待来增强幸福感”符合上下文语境,故选F。【50题详解】根据后文After all, if we didnt believe that we could achieve success, why
111、 would we even bother trying?可知毕竟,如果我们不相信我们能成功,我们为什么还要去尝试呢?由此可知,首先要有一个乐观的心态,认为自己能够成功,才有信心去尝试。本段是在说明乐观会激励人们追求目标。故A选项“乐观也会激励我们追求目标”符合上下文语境,故选A。第三部分:书面表达(共两节,35分)第一节51.假如你是高三(1)班班长李华,请你给曾经在你们班交换学习的英国同学Jim写信,让他录制一段视频为同学们加油,在考前班会上播放。邮件内容包括:1.此次班会的目的;2.对视频的要求(时长,内容.)。注意:1词数不少于50;2开头和结尾已给出,不计入总词数。Dear Jim,
