29、promise承诺;B. challenges 挑战;C. requirements要求,必要条件; D. request请求,要求。request指非常正式,有礼貌的请求或恳求,多指担心因种种原因对方不能答应的意思。 requirement而强调根据实际需求或纪律或法律等提出的要求。由常识可知,大学生需要满足大学的相关规定和要求才能获得毕业证书,因此选择requirements合乎句意的需要。故选C。22.It was some time before the door opened _ his ring.A. on account ofB. in view ofC. with regard
30、 toD. in response to【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查介词短语辨析。句意:他按门铃后过了一段时间,门才打开。A. on account of 因为,由于;B. in view of 考虑到,鉴于;C. with regard to 关于,对于;D. in response to 回应。开门是对他按门铃的回应,因此选择in response to合乎句意的需要。故选D 。23.Foreign leaders were wondering how it was that the Chinese government could _ the spread of the virus s

34、. shareB. startC. circulateD. counter【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意:有时候不去抨击谣言是明智的,因为它们会随着时间的流逝而消逝。A. share 分享;B. start 开始;C. circulate 流传;D. counter 反击,抗衡。由后半部分“as they will fade away with time passing”可知,因为它们会随着时间的流逝而消逝。由此可见,对于谣言不需要做出任何反击。故选D。27.I saw a man shouting at a driver, _ the car is blocking the
35、 street.A. whoseB. of whomC. of whichD. whom【答案】B【解析】【详解】考查定语从句。句意:我看见一个人对着司机大喊大叫,因为司机的车堵在街上。本句为非限定定语从句,先行词为a driver,指人,在从句作the car的定语,所以用介词of +关系代词whom。the car of whom = whose car。故选B。28.By the time the police arrived, the old man _ dead already, with a gun in his hand.A. was foundB. had foundC. fo
36、undD. has been found【答案】A【解析】【详解】考查时态和语态。句意:警察赶到时,发现老人死了,手里拿着枪。根据主句可知,主句动作不强调已经完成,只是说明某个时候的状况,且主句是be的系表形式或者是表示像know, find, believe等表示认知的持续性动词,往往用一般时态。结合从句“By the time the police arrived,”时态可以判断,用一般过去时。句中主语the old man与动词find之间为被动关系,所以用一般过去时的被动语态。故选A。29.A total number of 172 people are now in hospital
37、 for treatment, of them 24 seriously _.A. being injuredB. injuredC. having injuredD. to be injured【答案】B【解析】【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:目前共有172人在医院接受治疗,of them 24 seriously _为独立主格结构做伴随状语,其中24人严重受伤。24后省略名词people,与injure之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词,相当于 and of them 24 seriously are injured 。故选B。30.The man took out a knife and ma
38、de a mark _ his sword was dropped, confusing the passengers on board.A. from whereB. whatC. on whichD. where【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查定语从句。句意:这名男子拿出一把刀,在剑掉的地方做了个记号,让舟上的乘客迷惑不解。分析句子可知,先行词为mark在,_ his sword was dropped在句中作地点状语,所以关系副词用where引导。故选D。31._ then what I know now, I would have made different decisions.A.
39、Should I knowB. I knewC. I did knowD. Had I known【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查If条件句中的虚拟语气和倒装。句意:如果我之前知道我现在知道的事情,我可能会做出不同的决定。分析句意可知,这是If引导的条件句,从句“_ then what I know now”表达的是“如果我之前知道我现在知道的事情”,这是对过去的一种假设,从句谓语动词需用过去完成时had known。分析句子可知,If在句中被省略,if引导的条件句中,如果if被省略,从句需进行部分倒装,将助动词had提前。故选D。【点睛】If条件句是高中语法的常考知识点,主要考核虚拟语气和倒装
40、。学生在遇到If条件句的题型,首先需要判断主从句是否表达的是一种虚拟假设。如果确定了是虚拟语气,需要再分析是对过去,现在还是将来的虚拟假设,从而对主从句谓语动词时态进行变化。此外,还要特别留意If条件句中if是否被省略,如果if被省略,从句需进行部分倒装。本题中If引导的从句“_ then what I know now”表达的是“如果我之前知道我现在知道的事情”,这是对过去的一种假设,从句谓语动词需用过去完成时had known。另外,本题中的If在句中被省略,从句需进行部分倒装,将助动词had提前。故选D。32.Thompsons business was originally _ in

42、by opening scores of chain stores across the country.”可知,起初汤普森的生意规模不太大。故选A。33.Hopefully, Chinas economic power is likely to increase in the years to come.Well, trust me, more and more foreigners _ employment here.A. seekB. are seekingC. will have soughtD. will be seeking【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查时态。句意:希望中国的经济实
43、力在未来几年有望增强。嗯,相信我,会有越来越多的外国人来这里找工作。根据句中时间状语in the years to come可知用将来时态,这里表示“越多的外国人来这里找工作”这一动作要在将来某一时间开始,并且一直持续下去。所以用将来进行时态。故选D。34.Beijing has abandoned setting a specific GDP target for this year and shifted its policy priority to ensuring employment, peoples livelihoods and the _ of businesses.A. su

88、ions of gallons of fresh water. One iceberg could provide enough for one million people over five years, according to the company. And the scheme could begin as early as the start of 2018.The firms director says they have already travelled the transportation route and used simulators to check the pr
89、acticality of the scheme, according to reports in Gulf News. Speaking to the site about what he is calling the UAE Iceberg Project, Abdullah Mohammad Shehi said: “we predict that it will take up to one year to tow (拖拉) an iceberg to UAE.” We have made the technical and financial plan. Towing is the
90、best method. We will start the project in beginning of 2018. “We want it mainly for the water. It could also be good for tourism and the weather.”The UAE is one of the most dry countries and one of the top 10 most water-scarce in the world, due to its extremely dry climate, which receives less than
91、four inches (100 mm) of rainfall per year. Despite that, it consumes more water than double the global national average, putting the country at severe risk of droughts over the next 25 years. An average iceberg contains more than 20 billion gallons of water, according to the Abu Dhabi-based company.
92、 They take a long time to melt as 80 percent of their mass is underwater, while the white ice above reflects sunlight, reducing its heat. Upon arrival at a specially constructed processing facility, workers will “mine” the icebergs for their water supplies. Blocks of ice will be sliced and placed in
93、 giant tanks, before being filtered and processed. “This is the purest water in the world”, Mr Al Shehi added. He also claims the icebergs presence could provide a more moist micro-climate in the area, perhaps even prompting rainfall. And the project may prove a boost for tourism if it proves a succ

98、阿联酋的一家公司计划从南极运送冰川,以获取淡水共当地民众引用。【61题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But one company, The National Advisor Bureau, in the United Arab Emirates has come up with a unique plan to provide drinking water for the states citizens. The firm intends to pull icebergs from Antarctica to the gulf coast in order to harvest its
99、billions of gallons of fresh water.”可知,但是,阿拉伯联合酋长国的国家顾问局公司提出了一项独特的计划,为该国公民提供饮用水。该公司打算将冰山从南极洲拉到墨西哥湾沿岸,以获取数十亿加仑的淡水。所以阿联酋的The National Advisor Bureau公司计划将南极的冰川运到中东海湾,从中获得大量淡水来解决当地民众饮水问题。故选C项。【62题详解】词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“The firms director says they have already travelled the transportation route and used simul
100、ators to check the practicality of the scheme, according to reports in Gulf News.”可知,公司经理表示他们已经行驶过运输路线并且使用simulator核实了这个项目的可行性。故推出是用一种测试潜在条件的设备来核实了这个项目的可行性。所以故划线词义的意思是“一种测试潜在条件的设备”。选D项。【63题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段“They take a long time to melt as 80 percent of their mass is underwater, while the white ice a
101、bove reflects sunlight, reducing its heat.”可知,在拖行过程中冰川有80%的部分是在水下的,而且上面的白冰反射光线,转移了温度,使得融化的过程放缓,所以冰川不易融化。故选C项。【64题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“He also claims the icebergs presence could provide a more moist micro-climate in the area, perhaps even prompting rainfall. And the project may prove a boost for tourism i
102、f it proves a success, with people travelling to see the unusual sight of an iceberg off the coast of the Arabian Gulf.”可知,冰川的出现会为当地提供更湿润的气候,甚至会带来降雨,同时如果成功还可以带动旅游业的发展。因此作者对这项计划持支持的态度。故选A项。【点睛】推理判断题是指在理解原文字面意思的基础上,通过对语篇逻辑关系的分析和细节的暗示,做出一定的判断和推理,从而得到文章的深层意义和隐含意义的过程。如第4小题,询问作者对这个项目的态度?根据最后一段“He also cla
103、ims the icebergs presence could provide a more moist micro-climate in the area, perhaps even prompting rainfall. And the project may prove a boost for tourism if it proves a success, with people travelling to see the unusual sight of an iceberg off the coast of the Arabian Gulf.”可知,冰川的出现会为当地提供更湿润的气候
104、,甚至会带来降雨,同时如果成功还可以带动旅游业的发展。因此作者对这项计划持支持的态度。故选A项。DFor more than three decades, Deirdre Taylor only knew the firefighter who saved her life through the black-and-white photos on the front page of the New York Daily News, on Dec. 30, 1983.She was only 4 then, a blond, wide-eyed toddler pictured in the
105、paper in the arms of the firefighter, Eugene Pugliese, who had just carried her out of her burning apartment building. Taylor, now a registered nurse in Alexandria, Virginia, kept the Daily News article for years. She wished as she got older that she could find Pugliese and thank him-a desire that i

She periodically searched his name on Google, finding nothing
107、. Finally, in March, Taylor thought she may have one last chance to find him. With her familys support, she decided to move from Virginia to New York for eight weeks to work in an overwhelmed Manhattan emergency room- trying to help save the lives of coronavirus patients, while searching for the man
108、 who saved hers.“When I was packing my bags, I packed the Daily News article with me, _ “ Taylor, 40, said, “and I told myself that one of the things Im going to accomplish while Im here is track him down, or track a family member down, and just say thank you. “Pugliese, 75, had never had someone tr

My baby!” Pugliese remembered. He quickly helped her out of the room before returning on his hands and knees, crawling
111、through the burning studio and blinding smoke for about six feet, when he felt the child. She was unconscious. He carried her to the living room, where he gave her mouth-to-mouth breath to bring her back. He rushed down the six flights of stairs to get her to an ambulance, when to Puglieses relief,
112、she woke up and started to cry. “ _ I was just in the right place at the right time,” Pugliese said. Pugliese later received a medal for Taylors rescue, in a ceremony that is among his most prized memories.Taylors first two weeks in New York were overwhelming, as she and her colleagues dealt with pa

During her time off, she tried on one occasion to go to the firehouse where Pugliese worked, only to find a sign on the door discouraging visitors due to covid-19. But finally, last week, Taylor caught a break. A group of firefighters came to the ER to deli
114、ver the medical staff pizzas for dinner, to show their appreciation. Taylor explained to them that she was trying to find a likely retired fireman from Ladder No. 20, and did they have any suggestions on how to start?One of the firemen gave her a phone number to connect her with the fire chief.“Oh,
115、Gene?” the chief told her. “He stops by the firehouse all the time.”“ _ “ Taylor said, “I couldnt believe it. I really didnt think he was still going to be around. I really thought I was going to hit a dead end.” He said, “Yeah, I have his phone number in my cellphone.”The chief phoned Pugliese righ

Taylor said she could only describe the moment as surreal. Pugliese asked if her hair was still blond. It was.
117、He told her the story of the fire, and she told him the story of her life afterward. They learned they had plenty in common. Both were die-hard Yankees fans. Both spent time in the military.After the call, Pugliese said, “ _ I cried for the rest of the day.”65. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 imp

122、. C【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述一位童年时,遇火灾获救的女孩,用多年时间寻找救命恩人的故事。女孩后来成为护士,继续救助病人,而她也最终在纽约寻找到当年救她的消防员。【65题详解】词义猜测题。根据文章第二段“She wished as she got older that she could find Pugliese and thank him-a desire that intensified after she became an emergency room nurse,”可知,当Taylor成为一名急救室护士后,经常见到濒危的病人,她要寻找自己救命恩人的愿望更加强烈了。从而猜测
123、,因为她知道从你帮助过的人那里得到反馈是很宝贵的。故选C。【66题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段“Pugliese, 75, had never had someone track him down to say thank you before, he said. For decades, the Daily News front-page article hung in his office. How could he forget Deirdre? “Ive had her picture on my wall for 24 years,” he said.”可知,Pugliese之前从未
124、遇到过被人如此执着的感谢一事,他也认为自己永远不会忘记救过的那个女孩,每日新闻的头版文章一直挂在他的办公室墙上。可以推断Pugliese十分珍视当时这件事,视之为职业生涯中的高光时刻。故选D。【67题详解】推理判断题。代入文中划线四处,题目中插入句My heart literally skipped a beat(我的心几乎停止了跳动),此句表现一种激动欣喜的心情,唯有 后“couldnt believe”可与之呼应。故选C。【68题详解】推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段两人电话里愉快的交谈和最后一段“After the call, Pugliese said, “I cried for the
125、 rest of the day.”可知,通过电话之后,Pugliese哭了一整天。可以推断Pugliese 在电话后的心情一定是高兴和感动。ACD中皆有负面情绪,故选B。【69题详解】推理判断题。此题可用排除法。A. Pugliese and Taylor may meet in person. Pugliese和Taylor因为在电话里交谈得很愉快,所以两人通电话之后可能会见面;B. Taylor may award Pugliese a medal for his rescue. Taylor并没有必要也没有权力奖励一块奖牌;C. Pugliese and Taylor may work
126、 together to fight the virus. Pugliese是消防员,不会治病;D. Pugliese and Taylor may lose touch again due to the virus.两人已经取得电话联系,后期再失联可能性不大。故选A。【70题详解】主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知,文章讲述一位童年时遇火灾获救的女孩用多年时间寻找救命恩人的故事,女生后来成为护士,继续救助病人,而她也最终在纽约寻找到当年救她的消防员。文章围绕“寻找救命恩人,表达感激之情”展开,所以“A Debt of Gratitude(感激的债)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。第卷非客观题(共3

158、是谈谈“截止日期”的重要性以及就如何确保在“截止日期”内完成任务提出你的建议。第二三部分是文章写作时的重点,也是同学们需要自己发挥的部分。【详解】第一步:总结文章概要。由第二段中的Yet theres no question deadlines can serve a positive psychological function(但毫无疑问,截止日期可以起到积极的心理作用)可知,这篇文章主要讲述了虽然截止日期会给人带来压力,但截止日期具有积极的心理功能。范文第一段就是总结的这篇文章的中心,However与文中的yet呼应,前边一句是对第一段中心的总结,后一句是对后边两段内容的总结。其中的po
159、sitively与 powerfully与文章中心句中的positive呼应。第二步:谈谈设置“截止日期”的重要性。文章最后一句“we can learn ways that deadlines can be used to increase focus and boost perseverance(我们能够发现截止日期能被用来提高注意力,增强毅力。)”给我们写这一段提供了方向,我们可以从如何提高注意力与增强毅力两方面来谈。例如范文中前半部分主要写part of the motivating power of deadlines has to do with our goal(截止日期的激发作
160、用与目标有关),我们可以关注目标,提升战斗力。后半部分主要写deadlines can help keep us in focus and advance our work(截止日期能让我们集中于目标,继续保持前进)。这两部分与文章最后一句中的两个方向吻合。第三步:就如何确保在“截止日期”内完成任务提出你的建议。既然截止日期与日期有关,我们就是需要做出计划,按照计划执行即可。倒数第二段中的两个建议也就是要我们做出计划,严格执行。第四步:列提纲 (重点词组)work with every fibre of their being(绷紧神经工作);have great influence on(对
161、有重要影响);has to do with(与有关);are willing to(愿意);burn the midnight oil to(熬夜去做);keep us in focus(让我们保持注意力);pace your effort(调整好你的努力)等。第五步:遣词造句:同学们在写作时不能逐句翻译,可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯,同时要点表述要完整,文章要通顺,准确使用时态和语态。第六步:连句成文:写作时要适当使用连词、过渡词和插入语,使文章浑然一体。同时恰当而合理地使用一些高级词汇和句型,如定语从句等,以提高文章档次。【点睛】范文内容完整,要点全面,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当,上下
162、文意思连贯,符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了较多句式,如:第一段第一句使用了不定式作目的状语与现在分词作状语;第二段最后一句也使用了现在分词作状语;第三段第一句使用了倒装句;第三段第三句使用了if引导的条件状语从句的省略句。此外本文还使用了一些高级词汇,如work with every fibre of their being;have great influence on;has to do with;are willing to;burn the midnight oil to;keep us in focus;pace your effort等。全文中没有中国式英语的句式,显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外,文章思路清晰、层次分明,上下句转换自然,为文章增色添彩。
