3、h time to spend together because my father was busy.【答案】1. which 2. largely 3. Without【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了作者在童年时期，总会和父亲一起爬上，路上进行交谈，从与父亲的交谈中，作者学到了很多有价值的东西。这极大地影响了作者的生活。【1题详解】考查定语从句。句意：一起散步时，我们交谈了很多内容，我从中学到了很多有价值的东西。分析句子可知，conversations为先行词，在后面的定语从句中作介词through的宾语，所以关系代词为which。“介词+关系代词”中关系代词不用that。 故填
4、which。【2题详解】考查副词。句意：这极大地影响了我的生活。副词largely修饰动词influenced。故填largely。【3题详解】考查介词。句意：没有爬山，我们不可能有足够的时间在一起，因为我的父亲很忙。根据句意以及句子结构可知，空处填Without，本句为含蓄虚拟语气，有时假设的情况并不是以if引导的条件从句形式出现，而是通过一些词或短语等形式暗示虚拟语气的存在，常用的词语有with, without, but for, otherwise, or，even, in case of, what if(如果将如何)等等，这种句子往往有主句而无从句。故填Without。【点睛】定语
5、从句中关系词的选择可考虑以下三点：(1) 一看先行词的意义，即分清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点还是原因(如指物时不能用who或whom，指人时通常不用which等。(2) 二看关系词的句法功能，即分清关系词是担任什么句子成分，是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等(如作定语通常用whose，有时也用which；作状语要用when, where, why。(3) 三看定语从句的种类，即分清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句(如that和why通常不引导非限制性定语从句。分析小题1的句子可知，conversations为先行词，在后面的定语从句中作which的宾语，所以关系代词为which。“介
6、词+关系代词”中关系代词不用that。 故填which。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。You have probably dreamed about _4_ you would change the world, only to find that it seems impossible.

Though/Although/While【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了BA挑战的内容以及它的积极影响。【4题详解】考查名词性从句。句意：你可能曾梦想过你将如何改变世界，却发现这似乎是不可能。分析句子，划线前后有主谓，故该空需填引导词连接两个句子。从句放在介词后，后面的从句为宾语从句。从句部分有主语“
9、you”和宾语“the world”，且句中缺“如何”之意。故填how。【5题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：然而，你可能有能力让世界变得更好，一步一个脚印。分析句子，该句已有动词“may have”故该空需填非谓语。动词不定式做后置定语。故填to make。【6题详解】考查名词。句意：自9月2日在新浪微博上首次亮相以来，BA挑战赛吸引了数百万观众和参与者。分析句意，appear（出现）是动词。不能被its修饰。its是形容词性物主代词，后面要修饰名词。故填appearance。【7题详解】考查连词。句意：虽然这些小东西在我们的日常生活中很容易被忽视，但它们却受到了很多观众的欢迎。分析句意，前半句
10、在讲“这些小事情容易被忽略”。而后半句在讲“小事情受到观众欢迎”。前后两句表示让步。故填Though/Although/While。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。Theres nothing better than flying to a foreign destination to visit the attractions it_8_ (have) to offer.

13、弱而古老的地方带来了压力，所以一些旅游景点和历史景点对游客数量实行限制或者收费。【8题详解】考查时态。句意：没有什么比乘飞机到外国目的地去参观那里的名胜更好的了。结合句意可知，本句为一般现在时，定语从句的主语为it，所以谓语动词为has。故填has。【9题详解】考查时态。句意：但问题是我们太多人同时参观它们，给这些脆弱而古老的地方带来了压力。结合句意，本句为现在进行时。主语为too many of us，所 以 谓 语为 are visiting。故填are visiting。【10题详解】考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知，the mess与空处所填词在逻辑上是被动关系，所以此处填leave的过去

48、ttering （口 吃）has nothing to do with intelligence. I know this because I stutter.

And differences,

Data showed that a 70-year-old who grew up in the countryside had the navigational abilities of an average 60-year-old across the dataset.There is a huge gap between the navigation skills of rural and city people, and the researchers think they k
66、now why. Dr. Spiers says that the brains navigational abilities probably weaken in the less challenging city environment because they are not being used as much. Although cities may appear more elaborate, they also feature more clues to help residents find their way, such as numbered streets. In the

73、析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一项研究表明，生活在乡村里的人相较于城市居民有着更好的识别方向和道路的能力。【38题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段最后“But the benefit of rural living was strong enough to offset some of that. Data showed that a 70-year-old who grew up in the countryside had the navigational abilities of an average 60-year-old across the dataset.”可知，在乡下生活的会促进、
74、提高人的方向感。故选B项。【39题详解】词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句“But the benefit of rural living was strong enough to offset some of that. Data showed that a 70-year-old who grew up in the countryside had the navigational abilities of an average 60-year-old across the dataset.”可知，前文指出识路能力与年龄相关，这里用转折则要表示“但生活在乡下足以改变、抵消这种情况”，而后在下文举
75、出了70岁的乡下老人却有着平均60岁的识路水平，即是为了佐证这一点。C选项reduce意为“减少”，最符合文意。故选C项。【40题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“However, neuro-scientists announce that, in fact, it is city living that can dull the wits.”并结合全文内容可知，本文就是通过用一项研究的结果向读者揭示，居住环境对于大脑识路、辨别位置的能力的影响。故选D项。【41题详解】主旨大意题。文章围绕一项研究，说明了居住在城市和乡下在识路、辨别方位的能力上会出现差别，选择标题时需要与这一主题有明显关
76、联。B选项“大脑在城市里会变弱”所指显然太过宽泛；C选项“航行去乡下”与文章主题无关；D选项“城市生活不好的方面”也不能正确对应文章内容；只有A选项“迷失在城市中”侧面将城市居民识路能力相对较弱这层意思表达了出来，切合主题，适合作为标题。故选A项。DCommunities across the world are starting to ban facial recognition technologies. The efforts are well intentioned but banning facial recognition is the wrong way to fight aga
77、inst modern surveillance （监 视）.Generally, modern mass surveillance has three broad components: identification, correlation and discrimination.Facial recognition is a technology that can be used to identify people without their consent. Once we are identified, the data about who we are and what we ar
78、e doing can be correlated with other data. This might be movement data, which can be used to follow” us as we move throughout our day. It can be purchasing data, Internet browsing data, or data about who we talk to via email or text. It might be data about our income, ethnicity, lifestyle, professio
79、n and interests. There is an entire industry of data brokers who make a living by selling our data without our consent.Its not just that they know who we are; its that they correlate what they know about us to create profiles about who we are and what our interests are. The whole purpose of this pro
80、cess is for companies to treat individuals differently. We are shown different ads on the Internet and receive different offers for credit cards. In the future, we might be treated differently when we walk into a store, just as we currently are when we visit websites.It doesnt matter which technolog
81、y is used to identify people. Whats important is that we can be consistently identified over time. We might be completely anonymous （匿名的）in a system that uses unique cookies to track us as we browse the Internet, but the same process of correlation and discrimination still occurs.Regulating this sys
82、tem means addressing all three steps of the process. A ban on facial recognition wont make any difference. The problem is that we are being identified without our knowledge or consent, and society needs rules about when that is permissible.Similarly, we need rules about how our data can be combined
83、with other data, and then bought and sold without our knowledge or consent. The data broker industry is almost entirely unregulated now. Reasonable laws would prevent the worst of their abuses.Finally, we need better rules about when and how it is permissible for companies to discriminate. Discrimin
84、ation based on protected characteristics like race and gender is already illegal, but those rules are ineffectual against the current technologies of surveillance and control. When people can be identified and their data correlated at a speed and scale previously unseen, we need new rules.Today, fac
85、ial recognition technologies are receiving the force of the tech backlash （抵制），but focusing on them misses the point. We need to have a serious conversation about all the technologies of identification, correlation and discrimination, and decide how much we want to be spied on and what sorts of infl
86、uence we want them to have over our lives.42. According to Para. 2, with facial recognition _.A. ones lifestyle changes greatlyB. ones email content is disclosedC. ones profiles are updated in timeD. ones personal information is released43. We can learn from the passage that _.A. discrimination base
87、d on new tech surveillance is illegalB. different browsing data bring in different advertisementsC. using mobiles anonymously keeps us from being correlatedD. data brokers control the current technologies of surveillance44. The underlined part “the point，,in the last paragraph probably refers to _.A
88、. peoples concern over their safetyB. the nature of the surveillance societyC. proper regulation of mass surveillanceD. the importance of identification technology45. The author wrote this passage to _.A. call for banning facial recognition technologiesB. advocate the urgent need for changes in rela
89、ted lawsC. inform readers of the disadvantages of facial recognitionD. evaluate three broad components in modem mass surveillance【答案】42. D 43. B 44. C 45. B【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了面部识别技术造成的数据泄露。谈及了数据泄露造成的危害。最后提出了应该立法规范而不是完全限制面部识别技术。【42题详解】细节理解题。根据第2段 It might be data about our income, ethnicity, lifestyle,
90、 profession and interests. There is an entire industry of data brokers who make a living by selling our data without our consent可知，它可能是关于我们的收入、种族、生活方式、职业和兴趣的数据。面部识别出来的数据会在未经我们同意的情况下被关联或卖掉。所以根据第2段，通过面部识别，一个人的个人信息会被泄露。故选D项。【43题详解】细节理解题。根据第3段The whole purpose of this process is for companies to treat i
91、ndividuals differently. We are shown different ads on the Internet and receive different offers for credit cards可知，公司可以根据我们在互联网上留下的数据对我们区别对待，我们可以在互联网上看到不同的广告，收到不同的信用卡优惠。故选B项。【44题详解】词义猜测题。根据最后一段“We need to have a serious conversation about all the technologies of identification, correlation and discr
92、imination, and decide how much we want to be spied on and what sorts of influence we want them to have over our lives”即我们需要严肃的讨论，决定我们希望被监视的程度以及他带给我们什么样子的影响。所以我们现在正在对面部识别技术进行科技限制。但在这一个过程中我们忽略了对大规模监控的适当监管。所以划线词的意思是“对大规模监控的适当监管”。故选C项。【45题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第一段Communities across the world are starting to ban
93、facial recognition technologies. The efforts are well intentioned, but banning facial recognition is the wrong way to fight against modem surveillance可知，禁止面部识别技术愿望是很好的,但禁止面部识别是错误的方式来对抗现代监控。另外通过第5和第6段中的“Regulating this system means addressing all three steps of the process”和“Similarly, we need rules
94、about how our data can be combined with other data”可知，我们需要规则来规范。通过倒数第2段 “Finally, we need better rules about when and how it is permissible for companies to discriminate”可知，我们需要更好的规则来指导。故作者写这篇文章的目的是倡导迫切需要修改相关法律。故选B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。Once considered an o
95、ptional lifestyle choice, recycling has become a commonplace activity in most areas. One type of recycling, called downcycling, involves re-purposing a material into a new product of lesser quality. _46_Downcycling is also known as downstream recycling. It is most common in terms of industrial mater
96、ials. These products lose their value as they are recycled, which limits their capacity for new use. _47_ White writing paper, for example, is often downcycled into cardboard; once downcycled to this new form, it can no longer be used as white paper again. Another example of downcycling includes the
97、 use of plastic components.Giving products a new life is considered a good way to reuse materials and avoid waste. Once downcycled to their full capacity, however, these materials are eventually so degraded that they cannot be reused further. Since downcycled products are considered of lower quality
98、 than their original form, they cannot be used in remaking their original product._48_ Plastic, glass, and aluminium products coded with the number one may be remade into something of equal or greater value. This type of recycling is known as upcycling, and represents the forward compatibility of re
99、cycled components. Materials available for downcycling, such as water, juice, and milk bottles, are coded with the number two. _49_Items available for downcycling often require additional chemicals, energy, and other treatments in order to transform them into something usable. Durable plastic produc
100、ts in particular require much additional treatment. Trash bins, tables, and chairs are also considered materials with a high energy cost to recycle.When a product reaches a code seven, it is considered no longer recyclable. _50_ Since these products can no longer be made into new ones, they will eit
101、her have to be reused or discarded, typically in a landfill.A. These recycled materials may often be put into new use.B. It can include varying grades of plastic, paper products, and other materials.C. Their recycled form is typically both weaker and cheaper than their original one.D. They may not b
102、e used to contain food-grade items again upon being downcycled.E. Products are provided with codes to determine their grades and whether or not they may be recycled.F. A code will determine the type of the recycled materials and give an idea of how many times they can be recycled.G. This usually occ
103、urs when a substance is blended with other substances, such as different types of plastic with various recycling codes.【答案】46. B 47. C 48. E 49. D 50. G【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了我们熟知的回收利用还分为多种类型，重点介绍了升级再利用和降级再利用。【46题详解】本段重点是引入了downcycling这一概念，空白前句“种被称为“降级循环”的回收方式，是将一种材料重新利用成一种质量较低的新”对其作了解释，B选项“其中包括多种塑料、纸制品和其
104、他材料”，这些内容在下文的进一步解释中都有提及，符合语境。故选B项。【47题详解】本段主题是进一步解释downcycling，空白前句指出这些产品再利用时会失去原有价值，功用也比较有限，后句则列举了白纸的例子来佐证这一点，C选项“它们的再利用形式通常比原有形式弱化且便宜”承上启下，符合语境。故选C项。【48题详解】本段提出了一套编码系统，将升级再利用编为1号，降级再利用编为2号。E选项“产品都会被根据可再利用程度评定相应的编号”提出评级编号系统，使下文直接编号显得不那么突兀，是最为合适的。故选E项。【49题详解】空白前句指出降级再利用的材料会被编为2号，并给了水瓶、饮料瓶和牛奶瓶三个例子，D选
105、项“它们回收再利用时不能再用于包装食物”与前句是对应一致的，符合语境。故选D项。【50题详解】本段主要讲到编号为7的产品，属于完全无法再利用的东西。空白前句提出编号7号的含义，G选项“这种通常是多种物质的混合物，比如各种编号的不同类型塑料的合成物”即是解释了7号产品的具体所指，并给出了例子，符合语境。故选G项。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。你们班拟开展“阳光心态，轻装前行”的活动，现面向全 班征集活动设计方案。请给你的英国朋友Jim写信，内容包括：1. 介绍你的方案；2. 征求他的建议。注意：1.词数不少于50;2.开头和结尾已给出，不
