32、 wind projects will most likely operate with negative subsidies paying money back to the government. The money will go towards reducing household energy bills as the offshore wind farms start producing power in the mid-2020s.(然而,最近获得批准的海上风电项目很可能会以“负补贴”的方式运营将资金返还给政府。随着海上风力发电场在本世纪20年代中期开始发电,这笔钱将用于减少家庭
33、能源账单。)”和第四段“Offshore wind power will soon be so cheap to produce that it will undercut fossil-fueled power stations and may be the cheapest form of energy for the UK.(海上风力发电很快就会变得非常便宜,它将比化石燃料发电便宜,可能成为英国最便宜的能源形式)”可知,文章主要是讲将在英国建造的海上风力发电场能够以非常低廉的价格发电,从而降低家庭能源账单。故选A项。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“However, the mos

35、发电场在本世纪20年代中期开始发电,这笔钱将用于减少家庭能源账单。)”可知,海上风力发电场将有助于减少家庭能源账单。故选C项。【10题详解】短语猜测题。根据画线词前文“subsidized (资助)”可知,名词subsidy意为“资助”,所以“the company will receive a subsidy from the government(这家公司会从政府得到资助)”是指这家公司会从政府那里得到资助,再根据上文“If a companys bid is higher than the wholesale electricity price on the UK market once
36、 the wind farm is up and running(如果一家公司的出价高于英国市场上的批发电价,一旦风电场建成并运行)”可知,此处是指这家公司会从政府得到资助来弥补价格。由此可知top up意为“弥补”,和make up含义相同。故选A项。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第五段 “Companies that want to build wind farms bid in the auctions by stating the price at which they will sell the energy they produce to the government.”(想要
37、建设风力发电场的公司在拍卖中通过说出他们把生产的能源出售给政府的价格来竞标。)”可知,风力发电公司想把生产的能源卖给政府。由此推知,目前国家规定的电价高于批发电价。故选C项。DDo you like writing a few paragraphs every day about your experiences hopes, memories or feelings?

Seeing 43. have found 44. effective 45. whoever【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了在女儿的影响下Jeff Kirschner创办了一个名叫Litterati的app,鼓励人们清理垃圾保护环境。【36题详解】考查固定搭配。句意:垃圾到处都是,对
79、我们的环境和生活有很大的坏处。动词短语do harm to意为“对有害”,该短语的现在分词形式在句中做状语。所以句中要填介词to。【37题详解】考查不定式。句意:Kirschner想要建设一个没有垃圾的世界,为了解决这个问题,他开办了一个名为Litterati的全球社区。句中不定式短语to settle this problem在句中做充当目的状语。所以句中要填不定式to settle。【38题详解】考查形容词。句意:有一天,他们正在远足,在这时他的女儿注意到河里有一个坏了的塑料浴盆。形容词broken意为“坏了的”,在句中充当定语,修饰plastic tub。所以要填broken。【39题详
80、解】考查主语从句。句意:他的女儿说的话提醒了他我们的星球所面临的这个严重的问题。句中what引导主语从句并在句中充当动词said的宾语。所以句中要填What。【40题详解】考查固定短语。句意:Jeff开始采取行动了。动词短语take action意为“采取行动”,名词action充当动词take的宾语。所以句中要填action。【41题详解】考查副词。句意:这个想法非常简单:找到一片垃圾,拍一张照片,把照片上传到网上,然后把垃圾扔进垃圾桶里。句中应该使用副词充当状语修饰形容词simple。所以要填fairly。【42题详解】考查现在分词。句意:看见了Jeff正在记录他对星球产生的积极影响,全世
81、界的人们都开始参与了进来。主句主语people worldwide与动词see构成主动关系,要用现在分词做状语。所以句中要填现在分词Seeing。【43题详解】考查时态。句意:到现在为止,40多个国家3500人上传的2,500,000张照片都到了Litterati的数码垃圾池里。动词短语find ones way to意为“到达”,时间状语up to now通常与现在完成时连用,所以要填have found。【44题详解】考查形容词辨析。句意:Litterati不仅仅是一个APP。它是一个紧急问题的有效解决方法。形容词effective意为“有效的”,在句中充当定语修饰名词solution。所
82、以句中要填形容词effective。【45题详解】考查让步状语从句。句意:无论你生活在那里,无论你做什么,无论你是谁,参加Litterati吧!让我们的世界成为一个更为清洁健康的居住的地方!句中whoever引导让步状语从句,与“Wherever you live,whatever you do”构成并列关系,所以句中要填whoever。【点睛】本文小题6考查了副词作状语修饰形容词的用法,小题9考查了形容词作定语修饰名词的用法;形容词和副词是语法填空中的重要考点,形容词和副词均属修饰性词类,但因被修饰的内容有所不同而具备不同的用法,高考非常注重对此进行考查,在完形填空和语法填空中出现过大量此类
83、试题。(形容词与系动词连用及修饰名词;修饰行为动词、形容词、副词、过去分词及整个句子用副词);两个事物进行比较应用比较级,三个或三个以上事物进行比较应用最高级;同时还会考查形容词和副词在特定的语境中词义的比较,比较级的程度修饰语(much,verymuch,alot,agreatdeal,far,byfar,even,still,abit,alittle,rather,any,数词,倍数,分数,百分数等)。还会考查易混副词的辨析。如:specially/especially/particularly等。例:Whatdoyouthinkofthefilmwesawlastnight?Ifeel_
84、thatthefilmiswellworthseeingonceagain?A.strong B.stronglyC.hardlyD.hard答案:B 解析:that引导一个宾语从句,由此可以判断feel在此不是一个系动词,而是一个实义动词。要用副词修饰动词,Ifeelstronglythat.“我坚信”,故答案为B。第三部分 写作 (共两节, 满分40分)第一节 (满分15分)46. 假如你是李华。你打算到China Daily参加记者面试。请根据以下要点,用英语写一封自荐信。1.应聘原因:公司声望、个人梦想;2.个人能力:懂英语,善编辑,对新闻有敏感在嗅觉,善沟通,团队意识强等;3.决心与

92、ouse to others?Jack said,The room is too small and can hardly accommodate all loads of our stuff. So we could only hang them on the walls.The landlord did not listen to him and turned around up to the floor.Rose began looking around her familiar room. Four years ago, she became his bride here. On th
93、e night of their marriage, he felt deeply guilty to her, saying,“I feel so sorry for you for having you live in this small room. In the future I will earn a lot of money to buy our own house.”The room was only 13 square meters with two nails on the wall next to the door, one for her to hang her bag
94、and the other for hanging umbrellas. At that time,she threw all her stuff such as her bag and umbrella on the floor once she entered the room, staring at the whole mess and feeling terribly upset.There were three nails on the left wall, on which he hung his clothes yesterday. After she lived in the
95、room, he removed all the clothes boxes and bought her a desk in the spared room because he knew she loved writing and drawing.There were four nails on the right wall that were used to fix their wedding photo frame.

100、本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Jack和Rose这一对夫妻由于决定离婚而不再租赁房东的房子,房东抱怨他们把房子的墙上钉了太多的钉子。他们开始回忆房间里这些钉子的来历以及它们背后的故事。【详解】1. 段落续写:由第一段首句内容“房东一边抱怨一边试图把钉子撬出来。”可知,第一段应该描写钉子被拔出来以后发生的事情,可以写Jack和Rose在钉子被拔出来以后的心理感受以及所做出的反应。由于下一段的开头是“They hung all the things back to the wall.(他们把所有的东西都挂回墙上。)”可知,续写的第一段中应该写出他们最终决定和好,重新租回房子。由第二段首句内容“他们把
