11、缓解了我们的压力。分析句子可知，relieve用非谓语动词形式，various after-school activities与relieve是逻辑主谓关系，此处表示自然而然的结果，用现在分词。故选D。10.People often turn to china _theyll find valuable information regarding everything theyll be or are going through.A. whichB. whereC. whenD. why【答案】B【解析】【详解】考查定语从句关系词。句意：人们经常访问中国日报网，他们从中可以找到有关他们将会或正
12、在经历的一切有价值的信息。分析句子可知，china 是先行词，指地点，后接一个定语从句，且定语从句中不缺少句子成分，在从句中做地点状语，所以用关系副词where。故选B项。11.Only five years after Steve Jobs death, smart-phones defeated _PCs in sales.A. controversialB. contradictoryC. confidentialD. conventional【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查形容词辨析。句意：仅仅在史蒂夫乔布斯去世五年后，智能手机在销售中击败了传统的个人电脑。Acontroversial有

14、狄更斯作为一名主要小说家的地位。先行词The publication of Great Expectations在定语从句中作主语，是单数概念，根据主谓一致的原则，所以谓语动词用单数，再根据主句谓语动词reviewed是一般过去时可知，应选C项。13.The spokesman noted _ some individuals apparently lack is not the means to get the correct information, but the courage to admit the truth.A. whetherB. thatC. whichD. what【答案
15、】D【解析】【详解】考查宾语从句连接词。句意：发言人指出有些人明显缺乏的不是获取正确信息的手段，而是承认真理的勇气和良知。分析句子可知，谓语动词noted后是一个宾语从句，此宾语从句中缺少宾语，表示“缺乏的东西”，指物，所以用what引导宾语从句。故选D项。14.I am going to the library. Do you have any books_?No, but thank you all the same.A. to returnB. returnedC. to be returnedD. returning【答案】C【解析】【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：我要去图书馆。你有书要

63、答案】40. A 41. C 42. D 43. A 44. B【解析】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在印度洋群岛上，与海龟共同度过的快乐时光。【40题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句“By the fourth or fifth time, I didnt even look when I felt something bump into me. I knew what it was.(到第四次或第五次，有东西撞到我时，我甚至不去看了。我知道它是什么。)”可知，作者最后几次在房间遇到乌龟甚至都不去看，对此已经司空见惯，由此可推知，作者内心是“平静的”。故选A项。【41题详解】细节理解题。
64、根据第二段中“Until roughly the middle of the past century, the small island nation showed signs of real environmental killinglocal vegetation（植被）cleared to make way for coconut plantations, foreign rats and mice running uncontrolled, native sea turtles and giant tortoises being exploited.(直到大约上世纪中期，这个小岛国才
65、展示出环境杀戮的迹象为椰子种植园让路，当地的植被被清理，外来老鼠失控地满地跑，当地海龟和巨龟被开发。)”可知，是由于椰子种植园，当地的野生生物才遭受损失。故选C项。【42题详解】推理判断题。第三段提到作者每天早上醒来走出房间时，可以看到不会飞的Aldabra rails、盘子大小的椰子蟹、四英尺长550英镑重的巨龟、鲨鱼、军舰鸟和鲣鸟，所以本段主要是为了展示岛上野生生物的多样性。故选D项。【43题详解】词义猜测题。划线词所在句的主语That指代上文提到的“the tortoises would drop themselves down and fall asleep with their he
66、ads outstretched(这些乌龟会掉下来，伸着头睡觉)”，下文提到“To get there, wed have to go 200 feet into the mangroves, negotiating what I called the tortoise slalom trail.(为了到那儿，我们不得不走200英尺去红树林，越过我称之为乌龟障碍物的小路。)”，由此可推知，划线句“That made nighttime trips to the outhouse perilous.”意为“那使晚上的户外旅行很冒险”，所以划线词“perilous”意为“冒险的”。故选A项。【44
67、题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章内容尤其是最后一句“Yet living among the tortoises in this primordial place, in one of the last spots where reptiles still rule; was one of the happiest times of my life.”可知，文章主要讲述了作者在印度洋Aldabra群岛上与海龟共同度过的快乐时光，Aldabra群岛是被爬行动物占领的原始地方之一，所以B项“海龟统治孤立的岛屿”适合作本文标题。故选B项。CEric Attayi, owner of the Urban

81、tched the pandemic transform his shop in a way most businesses can only dream of(看到了流行病把他的店以一种大部分商人只能做梦才能做到的方式转变)”及第二段“Bicycles are selling before he has time to assemble them for display. Attayi said now the phone doesnt stop ringing and his guys get overwhelmed(自行车在组装好展示之前就被卖掉了，阿塔伊说，现在预购电话一直响个不停，他
82、的员工都不知所措了)”可知，从第一段和第二段得知，自行车在商店里被一售而空，商店应接不暇。故选C项。【46题详解】词义猜测题。画线词前一句提到As unemployment reaches record levels and small businesses scramble to survive, bike shops have been an exception.“当失业达到记录水平，小型企业艰难求生时，自行车商店成了一个例外”，画线词所在句意为“无论是在像休斯顿这样以汽车为主的城市或者像纽约这样更传统的自行车地区，它们都正处于繁荣的势头”，由此可推知，画线词“They”指代上一句中的“b
83、ike shops”。故选C项。【47题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中“Keeping enough bikes in stock, and finishing repairs in a timely manner, has become a challenge.(保持足够的自行车库存并及时完成维修，成为一个挑战。)”可知，对自行车商店来说，保持足够的售卖库存和快速维修是个挑战。故选D项。【48题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段中“New customers are looking for ways to be active and outdoors.

85、his shop from a focus on high-end bicycles to affordable bikes people are likely to ride in their neighborhood.(他把他的商店从以高端自行车为主转向人们更愿意在附近骑的平价自行车。)”由此判断出Triathlon Lab以前主要售卖大多数人买不起的自行车。故选B项。【50题详解】推理判断题。根据最后两段内容Phil Koopman, owner of BicycleSpace in Washington DC, compared the current bicycle boom to
86、1999, when many people bought computers to prepare for Y2K.Then those companies didnt sell a lot of computers for a few years because everyone already had one, Koopman said. Thats the big question. Is this a one-time thing or is it something sustainable?可知，Phil Koopman把当今的自行车的繁荣和1999年很多人买电脑的现象相比，并说：
87、“很多人几年都不买电脑因为每个人都有了一台，这是个大问题。这是一次性的事情还是持续的一件事呢”，由此可推测，Phil Koopman对自行车的繁荣持“怀疑的”态度。故选C项。DIf you believe that scientists and artists are most creative when theyre young, you are missing an important part of the story. A new study published in De Economist looked at Nobel Prize winners in the field of

A【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了通过对一些诺贝尔奖获得者事业生涯的研究，发现人的创造力会有两种峰值，这取决于你是哪种类型的创新者，是“概念性的”的创新者还是“实验性的”创新者。【51题详解】词句猜测题。在划线短语所在的句子中，后面的非谓语动词部分“challenging conventional wisdom and suddenly coming up with new i
100、deas”是对划线短语的补充解释，意思为“挑战传统智慧，突然想出新点子”，也就是勇于突破一些旧的思维模式，跳出框框去思维。故选C项。【52题详解】细节理解题。根据第8段中“The long periods of trial and error for important experimental innovations come later in a Nobel laureates（荣誉获得者的）career.”在一位诺贝尔奖得主的职业生涯中，重要的实验性的创新经历了漫长的不断的反复实验。由此可知“实验性”的创新者是从不断的反复实验中获得发现。故选B项。【53题详解】细节理解题。根据文章倒数第
101、三段中“They found that conceptual laureates peaked between ages 25 and 29.”可知， “概念性”的诺贝尔奖获得者创造力在25岁到29岁之间达到顶峰，不是在25岁到29岁之间获得诺贝尔奖。故选D项。【54题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Our research suggests that when youre most creative is more about how you approach your work.”可知，研究人员认为，决定你什么时候达到创造力巅峰的是你如何处理你的工作。此题是语义转换，“how you a
102、pproach your work”和选项C中的“How one handles their work”是语义转换。故选C项。【55题详解】主旨大意题。文章第一段中提到“It found there are two different peaks of creativity. One comes early in a persons career, while another comes later.” 研究发现，创造力有两个不同的巅峰。在一个人的职业生涯中，有一个高峰出现得比较早，而另一个高峰出现得比较晚。倒数第二段提到“They found that conceptual laureate
103、s peaked between ages 25 and 29. Experimental laureates peaked when they were roughly twice as old, in their mid-50s.”研究还表明，“概念性的”诺贝尔奖获得者在25岁到29岁之间达到创造力巅峰，而“实验性的”诺贝尔奖获得者的巅峰时期是他们年龄的两倍，也就是50多岁的时候。因此文章主要是说明创造力巅峰可以出现在任何年龄，可能在年轻的时候，也可能是年老的时候。什么时候出现创造力巅峰与你如何处理你的工作有关。故选A项。第卷（共35分）第三部分：写作第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分

Twenty years later, in 1978, with this lifelong dislike of the way the machine worked, I decided to make a bagless o
114、ne.(我讨厌换真空吸尘器的口袋，也不喜欢去捡机器没有吸进去的东西。20年后，在1978年，因为不喜欢这个机器的工作方式，我决定制作一个没有口袋的吸尘器)可知，作者决定制作一个没有口袋吸尘器是因为他不喜欢真空吸尘器的工作方式。故填The dislike of the way the vacuum cleaner worked./ His dislike of the way the existing cleaners worked./His discontent with existing cleaners.【57题详解】主旨大意题。根据本段的主要内容，尤其是Easier said than
115、done, of course. I didnt realize that I would spend the next five years perfecting my design, a process that resulted in 5,127 different prototypes(当然，说起来容易，做起来难。我没想到我会花五年的时间，来优化我的设计，在此过程中我做了5127个样机)可知，本段主要讲述了作者研发新的吸尘器的艰辛。故填The tough process of the new invention./The tough time the author experience

Nothing beats the excitement of invention.可知，我仍然敞开双臂，拥抱风险和潜在的失败作为过程的一部分。因为没有什么比发明更令人兴奋。根据上下文，推测划线部分的意思是“我愿意接受挑战和可能的失败”。故填I welcome/(am willing to take) risk and accept possible failure./Im still ready to take risk and accept p
