Yes, I’ve been planning to take photography classes in an art school in the UK, but before this, I’d already been working as a photographer for years—I started by using my phone in junior high. Some of my photograph er friends do other jobs at the same time—they are music makers, vloggers and directors. M: What does a photographer usually do? W: There are different kinds of photographers and our lives and work can be quite different, too. A National Geographic kind of photographer may travel to different places, taking photos of architecture, landscapes and animals. But fashion photographers like me, mainly do two things—commercial shoots and our own creative projects. The former is for making money and offering service to customers. The latter is for expression —we post these photos on our own social media, submit them to media outlets and contests, or host photographic exhibitions to show them off. M: What makes a good photographer? W: For commercial shooting, there are some routines that we can follow and the most important thing is to meet the needs of our customers. For our own shoots, what matters most is that you have something that you want to express, and these things can be received or understood by a certain group of people who think similarly. M: Thanks for having given the interview. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18. When did Mozart begin to compose music? A. At the age of four. B. At the age of five. C. In his early teens. 19. Where was Mozart’s first major opera performed? A. In Milan. B. In Vienna. C. In Salzburg. 20. What did Mozart do when he stopped performing? A. He did business. B. He taught for a living. C. He composed music. 【答案】18. B 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【原文】Mozart was an outstanding musician and composer whose fame continues to grow more than two centuries after his death. He was born in Salzburg, Austria, in 1756. Before the age of four, he had shown great musical talent. His father then decided to let him start taking instrumental lessons. The boy’s reputation as a musical talent grew fast. At five, he was composing music. From that time on, Mozart was performing in concerts and writing music. By his early teens, he had mastered the piano and violin, and was writing symphonies and operas. His first major opera was performed in Milan in 1770, when he was only fourteen. At fifteen, Mozart became the conductor for an orchestra in Salzburg. In 1781, he left for Vienna, where he was in great demand as both a performer and a composition teacher. His first opera was a success. But life was not easy because he was a poor businessman, and his finances were always in a bad state. His music from the next decade was not very popular, and he eventually fell back on his teaching jobs for a living. In 1788 he stopped performing in public, preferring only to compose. He died in 1791 at the age of thirty-five. Although he lived only a short life, he composed over 600 works. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 A Summer Holiday Fun The summer holidays are upon us again.

It started to rain on the way. When I left the airport, the visibility wasn’t clear because of the drops of rain. It was before 6 am. Even though the road conditions were poor, I drove at my normal speed. I was angry with the more cautious drivers ahead of me that were delaying my drive. The exit ramp (坡道) to the highway was a tight spiral (急盘旋). It is a dangerous spot in good weather and totally scary when the weather is miserable or it is dark. But I didn’t want to slow down and arrive home any later than necessary. I drove down the ramp too fast. The road was wet and my car slid, landing face down on the ramp. I didn’t like to drive by myself at the time and had insisted on taking my husband and son with me on the trip. Thankfully, I was alone in the car. My accident was slight. In fact, I was lucky enough not to have a single scratch. I started to shake when thinking the injuries my son would have suffered had he been in the backseat of that car with no seatbelt when it rolled. After the car rolled three times, I found my mobile phone was lost in a pile of small things that were all lying in the bottom of the car. A lady was kind enough to let me borrow her mobile phone, but without the numbers pre-programmed (预编的), who could I call? I was lucky enough to remember my father’s mobile phone number, and fortunate that he hadn’t yet got on his plane. You never know when an accident will happen. As a driver, I will keep safety in mind by obeying all traffic laws and have safe-driving habits, especially in bad weather. Insist your children always wear their seatbelts. Life is a journey and everyone should value it and enjoy the ride. 24. What happened to the author’s car? A. It crashed into another one. B. It lay upside down after the slide C. It slid and stopped in the middle or the highway. D. It was out of control and struck a tree by the side of the ramp. 25. Who was in the car when the accident happened? A. The author. B. The author’s son. C. The author’s husband. D. The author’s father. 26. Why did the author have to make a call to her father? A. She knew her father hadn’t got on the plane. B. Her husband was too busy to answer her phone. C. Her husband’s mobile phone was out of service at that time. D. She only brought her father’s phone number back to her mind. 27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph? A. To summarize her bad driving habits. B. To analyze the cause of the accident. C. To put forward some advice for others. D. To make some comments on traffic laws. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己在雨天发生的一次车祸告诉我们：作为驾驶员，一定要遵守交通规则，养成安全驾驶的习惯。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The road was wet and my car slid, landing face down on the ramp.(路上很湿，我的车打滑了，车底朝天地停在路边)”可知，作者的车在打滑后，车底朝天，倒了过来。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Thankfully, I was alone in the car.(谢天谢地，我一个人在车里)”可知，当车祸发生时，作者一个人在车里。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“A lady was kind enough to let me borrow her mobile phone, but without the numbers pre-programmed (预编的), who could I call? I was lucky enough to remember my father’s mobile phone number, and fortunate that he hadn’t yet got on his plane.(一位女士好心地让我用她的手机，但没有预编的号码，我应该打给谁呢？幸好我记得父亲的手机号码，也很幸运他还没上飞机)”可知，作者必须给父亲打去电话是因为她只记得父亲的手机号码。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As a driver, I will keep safety in mind by obeying all traffic laws and have safe-driving habits, especially in bad weather. Insist your children always wear their seatbelts.(作为一名司机，我会遵守所有交通规则，保持安全驾驶习惯，尤其是在恶劣的天气。坚持让你的孩子始终都系好安全带)”可推知，文章最后一段主要是作者提出了一些意见，作为司机，我们都应该遵守交通规则，保持安全驾驶习惯。故选C。 C What will restaurants look like in the future? What would your dinner taste like if a robot cooked it? A robot restaurant in Tianjin may give you the answers. Covering an area of over 400 square meters with a total of 112 seats, the X Future Restaurant is a robot restaurant that opened in November 2018.

Actually these medical professionals are trying to keep their working areas less stressful (有压力的) with the help of fish tanks. Because of the soft bubbling (冒泡声) from the fish tanks, their patients are expected to feel less nervous or worried when staying there. The sound of running water can make people feel relaxed. For this reason, places where water keeps running are often considered good choices for people to have deep thoughts and stay relaxed in mind. Even a small tabletop fountain (喷泉) can make a workspace more relaxing. Unlike loud noises, repeated natural sounds remind that everything is OK. “These slow but soft sounds are just the ones that bring us no harm,” said Orfeu Buxton, a professor at Pennsylvania State University. “It seems like they are saying, ‘Don’t worry; don’t worry; don’t worry.’” Besides bringing a sense of peace to your indoor space, a fountain can also prevent noises from coming inside. I recently had a small indoor fountain for my workspace. I enjoy the fountain even when I’m not working at home. If you want to have an indoor fountain too, there are plenty of wonderful ones on sale, which may cost you a lot. You can try making one yourself, using some inexpensive materials, like I did. And you will always keep it around — 1,000 doctor’s offices can’t be wrong about the relaxing effects of running water. 32. From the first paragraph, we can learn that ________. A. bubbling from fish tanks is a little bit noise B. bubbling from fish tanks makes patients less worried C. doctors like to collect the fish tanks in their offices D. patients feel relaxed when they see a doctor 33. According to the passage, Mr. Li feels nervous and worried, he should go to ________. A. a public library B. a science museum C. a shopping center D. a forest river 34. The underlined word “they” refers to “________”. A. fountains B. noises C. running water D. repeated natural sounds 35. What do we know about the writer’s fountain? A It cost the writer a lot of money. B. It was made by the writer himself. C. The writer bought it from a store D. The writer doesn’t like it anymore. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了医生办公室的鱼缸流水声能让人感觉到放松。鱼缸里冒出的气泡声，病人在呆在那里时不会感到紧张或担心。一个小的桌面喷泉使工作空间增添放松。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。文章第一段讲到“Because of the soft bubbling(冒泡声) from the fish tanks, their patients are expected to feel less nervous or worried when staying there. (由于鱼缸里的气泡很软，他们的病人在呆在那里时预计不会感到那么紧张或担心)”可知，从鱼缸里冒出来的气泡使病人不那么担心。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。文章第二段讲到“The sound of running water can make people feel relaxed. (流水的声音能使人感到放松)”可知，根据文中所述，李感到紧张和担忧，他应该去森林河流。故选D。 【34题详解】 词义猜测题。划线单词上文“Unlike loud noises, repeated natural sounds remind that everything is OK. “These slow but soft sounds are just the ones that bring us no harm,” said Orfeu Buxton, a professor at Pennsylvania State University. (与大声的噪音不同，重复的自然声音提醒我们一切都很好。宾夕法尼亚州立大学教授Orfeu Buxton说：“这些缓慢但柔和的声音不会给我们带来伤害。”)”以及下文“Don’t worry; don’t worry; don’t worry.( 别担心；别担心；别担心)”可知，带下划线的单词“they”指的是“重复的自然声音”。故选D。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。文章最后一段讲到“You can try making one yourself, using some inexpensive materials, like I did. (你可以试着像我一样，用一些便宜的材料自己做一个)”可知，作者的喷泉是作者自己制作的。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。 The holidays can be a difficult time to stay on track with your fitness goals. ____36____.

F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了就算在假期很难坚持自己健身计划时，也能帮助自己保持状态的四个方法。 36题详解】 前文提到“The holidays can be a difficult time to stay on track with your fitness goals.”（假期可能是一段很难坚持健身目标的时间。）以及后文提到“Even the most disciplined people can find it difficult to stick to their fitness routines during the holiday season. ”（即使是最自律的人也很难在假期坚持自己的健身计划。）由此判断，该段提到在假期期间坚持健身计划很难，E项“Your schedule will be filled with family gatherings and celebrations”（你的日程表将被家庭聚会和庆祝活动填满。）该项提到了假期会因为一些活动而影响自己的健身计划。该项符合文意，起到承上启下的作用。故选E。 【37题详解】 该空处需选择段落小标题。该段提到“Planning is the best way to make sure you don’t lose track of your goals.”（计划是确保你不会迷失目标的最好方法。）该段提到如果做好计划的话就可以保证假期内能够正常进行健身锻炼。A项“Plan ahead”（提前计划）该项提到了提前做好计划，引出后文中提前做好计划的好处。该项符合文意，起到承上启下的作用。故选A。 【38题详解】 该段小标题提到“Exercise early”（早点锻炼）以及后文提到“Make sure workouts are in the morning and you’ll set yourself up for a productive day.”（确保在早上锻炼，这样你就会为高效的一天做好准备。）由此判断，该段提到了在早上锻炼的好处，因此该段段首句应该提到早上锻炼是非常重要的。C项“Exercising in the morning is one of the biggest tips”（早上锻炼是最重要的建议之一。）该项提到了早上锻炼是这几项建议中最重要的。该项符合文意，起到承上启下的作用。故选C。 【39题详解】 前文提到“In addition to staying active, try to avoid sitting for long periods of time, such as when watching football games or eating.”（除了保持活跃，尽量避免长时间坐着，比如在看足球比赛或吃饭的时候。）该段提到了如果要保持健身计划的话就要避免长期坐着。D项提到“Remember: too much sitting is harmful to your health”（记住：久坐对你的健康有害。）该项提到了长时间坐着对于健康的伤害。该项符合文意，起到总结上文的作用。故选D。 40题详解】 前文提到“The holidays are busy, but do your best to avoid the “all or nothing” mentality when it comes to physical activity.”（假期是忙碌的，但当涉及到体育锻炼时，你要尽你最大的努力避免“要么全部要么没有”的心态。），以及后文提到“—like taking a family walk around the neighborhood before opening Christmas presents.”（比如在打开圣诞礼物前全家在附近散步。）该段提到可以抓住一切机会来进行运动，F项“Get creative with exercise and make physical activity a family affair”（创造性地锻炼身体，让体育活动成为一项家庭活动）该项提到哪怕只是家庭一起进行的活动也能成为锻炼身体的好机会，同时该项也满足该段小标题“Think out of the box”（跳出思维定式）的段落大意。该项符合文意，起到承上启下的作用。故选F。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Do you know how many languages there are in the world?

They see all kinds of fish, such as lovely dolphins, huge whales and even fierce sharks. Last weekend, Jen was on beach, standing on the hot sand. Enormous waves crashed along mile after mile of beautiful sand. Rick was happy because he had a new surfboard Rick’s favorite sport is surfing. “I’m going to look at the fish underwater,” Jen waved to Rick, putting her blue rubber fins on her feet. Then she put the yellow mask and snorkel on her face. The water was warm. Jen took a big breath and dived down and down. She could see fish and plants through her mask and the fish swam all around her. Jen observed or touched the tall or small plants growing on the rocks. Some were soft and some rough. Fish live in the plants and rocks. Jen was swimming past a large rock when she saw a blue dolphin keep still. Trapped in a net around the rock, the dolphin wasn’t able to swim up to get air. Moving its fins painfully, the poor blue dolphin was dying slowly. Immediately, Jen pulled the net from the rocks and then freed the dolphin. It moved its fins quickly and swam up. It took a breath of air. The blue dolphin looked down at Jen gratefully, swimming away. On the way home, she told her brother about her adventure with the blue dolphin with great interest. The following day it was still hot, and more people swam in the sea, playing and laughing. The hot sun shone, and the water was silver and blue. Some lifeguards watched the swimmers closely as they stared at the sea in the distance. Suddenly, one shouted loudly, “Shark! Quick!” Hungry, a shark was swimming quickly towards the swimming people. Everybody was frightened and began to swim towards the beach. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Jen and Rick were swimming a long way from the beach. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All of a sudden, Jen saw another fin in the water. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para. 1: Jen and Rick were swimming a long way from the beach. At first, they didn’t respond to the warning. When the shark was approaching Rick, Jen saw it and shouted in horror, “Rick! Look out!” Fortunately, Rick saw the shark’s black fin above the water, which was 30 metres away. Jen and Rick swam desperately towards the beach. Then the shark was 15 meters away. Jen could even see the shark’s sharp white teeth. The people on the beach were so frightened that they all screamed. Para. 2: All of a sudden, Jen saw another fin in the water. In her panic, she saw that it was a familiar blue fin. To her surprise and delight, it was the dolphin she rescued the day before. It was the blue dolphin that rushed fearlessly towards the fierce shark. Bravely, it hit the shark continually. The shark was frightened and swam away. “Rick, it’s my blue dolphin” Jen shouted excitedly, and her eyes filled with tears. Meanwhile, the lovely blue dolphin leapt out of the water with a cheerful cry. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jen和Rick把游泳和冲浪作为日常活动，某天Jen救了一只被困的海豚，蓝海豚感激地低头看着Jen，游开了。结果这天他们再次来到海滩时，人们惊恐地大叫有鲨鱼，结果海豚及时出现，勇敢地不断地攻击鲨鱼。鲨鱼受到惊吓，游走了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Jen和Rick正在离海滩很远的地方游泳。”可知，第一段可描写他们看见鲨鱼，企图摆脱鲨鱼的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“突然之间，Jen在水里看到了另一个鱼鳍。”可知，第二段可描写海豚出现，攻击鲨鱼，救了他们。 2.续写线索：游泳——鲨鱼靠近——看见鲨鱼——游向海滩——海豚出现——得救 3.词汇激活 行为类 反应：respond/reply 靠近：approach/get close to 救：rescue/save 情绪类 幸运：fortunately /luckily 害怕：frightened/scared 【点睛】[高分句型1] When the shark was approaching Rick, Jen saw it and shouted in horror, “Rick!

A 01223 810080 B. 01733 864663 C. 0845 4505157 D. 01 353 720274 B When I set out to drop my dad at the airport, it was dark and dull. It started to rain on the way. When I left the airport, the visibility wasn’t clear because of the drops of rain. It was before 6 am. Even though the road conditions were poor, I drove at my normal speed. I was angry with the more cautious drivers ahead of me that were delaying my drive. The exit ramp (坡道) to the highway was a tight spiral (急盘旋). It is a dangerous spot in good weather and totally scary when the weather is miserable or it is dark. But I didn’t want to slow down and arrive home any later than necessary. I drove down the ramp too fast. The road was wet and my car slid, landing face down on the ramp. I didn’t like to drive by myself at the time and had insisted on taking my husband and son with me on the trip. Thankfully, I was alone in the car. My accident was slight. In fact, I was lucky enough not to have a single scratch. I started to shake when thinking the injuries my son would have suffered had he been in the backseat of that car with no seatbelt when it rolled. After the car rolled three times, I found my mobile phone was lost in a pile of small things that were all lying in the bottom of the car. A lady was kind enough to let me borrow her mobile phone, but without the numbers pre-programmed (预编的), who could I call? I was lucky enough to remember my father’s mobile phone number, and fortunate that he hadn’t yet got on his plane. You never know when an accident will happen. As a driver, I will keep safety in mind by obeying all traffic laws and have safe-driving habits, especially in bad weather. Insist your children always wear their seatbelts.

Covering an area of over 400 square meters with a total of 112 seats, the X Future Restaurant is a robot restaurant that opened in November 2018. The restaurant has amazed customers with its fully-automated (全自动的) technology, which covers every step of the dining experience, from ordering to cooking to serving the dishes and even taking payment. Entering the restaurant, one can order dishes by simply scanning the QR codes on the table. There are over 40 choices of dishes. After taking the order, “robot cooks” prepare dishes using fixed time, temperature and ingredients designed by famous Chinese cooks. “As the cooking is controlled by a computer system, the taste and quality of dishes can be good,” said Li Xiaokui, manager of the X Future Restaurant. Robots also complete the delivery of dishes. Without following any designed route, the robot waiters serve meals thanks to automated driving technology, which helps each robot timely change its route when something is in the way. These eye-catching technologies have received wide praise from customers. “The dishes taste surprisingly good. I couldn’t believe that they were made by robots, especially dishes that were difficult to cook.” one customer said. “The application of robots has increased our efficiency and cut down our costs,” Li said, “I think robot restaurants will develop fast and have a bright future.” 28.

D You may have wondered why there are fish tanks (鱼缸) at many doctor’s and dentist’s offices. Actually these medical professionals are trying to keep their working areas less stressful (有压力的) with the help of fish tanks. Because of the soft bubbling (冒泡声) from the fish tanks, their patients are expected to feel less nervous or worried when staying there. The sound of running water can make people feel relaxed. For this reason, places where water keeps running are often considered good choices for people to have deep thoughts and stay relaxed in mind. Even a small tabletop fountain (喷泉) can make a workspace more relaxing. Unlike loud noises, repeated natural sounds remind that everything is OK. “These slow but soft sounds are just the ones that bring us no harm,” said Orfeu Buxton, a professor at Pennsylvania State University. “It seems like they are saying, ‘Don’t worry; don’t worry; don’t worry.’” Besides bringing a sense of peace to your indoor space, a fountain can also prevent noises from coming inside. I recently had a small indoor fountain for my workspace. I enjoy the fountain even when I’m not working at home. If you want to have an indoor fountain too, there are plenty of wonderful ones on sale, which may cost you a lot. You can try making one yourself, using some inexpensive materials, like I did. And you will always keep it around — 1,000 doctor’s offices can’t be wrong about the relaxing effects of running water. 32. From the first paragraph, we can learn that ________. A bubbling from fish tanks is a little bit noise B. bubbling from fish tanks makes patients less worried C. doctors like to collect the fish tanks in their offices D. patients feel relaxed when they see a doctor 33. According to the passage, Mr. Li feels nervous and worried, he should go to ________. A. a public library B. a science museum C. a shopping center D. a forest river 34. The underlined word “they” refers to “________”. A. fountains B. noises C running water D. repeated natural sounds 35. What do we know about the writer’s fountain? A. It cost the writer a lot of money. B. It was made by the writer himself. C. The writer bought it from a store D. The writer doesn’t like it anymore. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。 The holidays can be a difficult time to stay on track with your fitness goals. ____36____.

They see all kinds of fish, such as lovely dolphins, huge whales and even fierce sharks. Last weekend, Jen was on beach, standing on the hot sand. Enormous waves crashed along mile after mile of beautiful sand. Rick was happy because he had a new surfboard Rick’s favorite sport is surfing. “I’m going to look at the fish underwater,” Jen waved to Rick, putting her blue rubber fins on her feet. Then she put the yellow mask and snorkel on her face. The water was warm. Jen took a big breath and dived down and down. She could see fish and plants through her mask and the fish swam all around her. Jen observed or touched the tall or small plants growing on the rocks. Some were soft and some rough. Fish live in the plants and rocks. Jen was swimming past a large rock when she saw a blue dolphin keep still. Trapped in a net around the rock, the dolphin wasn’t able to swim up to get air. Moving its fins painfully, the poor blue dolphin was dying slowly. Immediately, Jen pulled the net from the rocks and then freed the dolphin. It moved its fins quickly and swam up. It took a breath of air. The blue dolphin looked down at Jen gratefully, swimming away. On the way home she told her brother about her adventure with the blue dolphin with great interest. The following day it was still hot, and more people swam in the sea, playing and laughing. The hot sun shone, and the water was silver and blue. Some lifeguards watched the swimmers closely as they stared at the sea in the distance. Suddenly, one shouted loudly, “Shark! Quick!” Hungry, a shark was swimming quickly towards the swimming people. Everybody was frightened and began to swim towards the beach. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Jen and Rick were swimming a long way from the beach. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ All of a sudden, Jen saw another fin in the water. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
