Luckily for you, we have made a list of the best science books that you should not miss. A Short History of Nearly Everything Written by Bill Bryson, it is a popular science book that explains some areas of science.It was published on February 4,2003, and was one of the best-selling popular science books of 2005 in the UK.It explains a variety of scientific topics in a vivid and comprehensive way, which makes it accessible for people with no science knowledge.But it’s quite long. Thing Explainer: Complicated Stuff in Simple Words It is a 2015 non-fiction book created by Randall Munroe, in which the author explains various complex subjects using common English words.It covers a wide range of topics and explains complex ideas using illustrations, so it’s entertaining and easily understood.However, the words and phrases used to describe the subjects are too technical to understand. Ask an Astronaut: My Guide to Life in Space Published on October 19,2017, the book is Tim Peake’s personal guide to life in space, based on his own experience. Q&A format makes it easy to quickly find answers and images are used to illustrate some of the more complex ideas, making it suitable for both children and adults. The disadvantage is that the Q&A format can become boring sometimes. Brief Answers to the Big Questions Written by Stephen Hawking, the 2018 book examines some of the universe’s greatest mysteries and promotes the view that science is very important in helping solve problems.It provides a great introduction to Stephen Hawking’s thoughts.Since complex ideas are communicated in a simple and understandable language, your previous physics knowledge is not required.For more advanced readers, it’s too basic. 1.

They seem to appeal to the general public. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一份不容错过的最佳科学书籍清单。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章A Short History of Nearly Everything部分中的“It was published on February 4,2003, and was one of the best-selling popular science books of 2005 in the UK. (它于2003年2月4日出版，是2005年英国最畅销的科普书籍之一。)”、文章Thing Explainer: Complicated Stuff in Simple Words.部分中的“It is a 2015 non-fiction book created by Randall Munroe, in which the author explains various complex subjects using common English words. (这是兰德尔·门罗在2015年创作的一本非小说类书籍，作者用常见的英语单词解释了各种复杂的主题。)”、文章Ask an Astronaut: My Guide to Life in Space.部分中的“Published on October 19,2017, the book is Tim Peake’s personal guide to life in space, based on his own experience. (这本书于2017年10月19日出版，是蒂姆·皮克根据自己的经历撰写的太空生活个人指南。)”以及文章Brief Answers to the Big Questions.部分中的“Written by Stephen Hawking, the 2018 book examines some of the universe’s greatest mysteries and promotes the view that science is very important in helping solve problems. (这本2018年出版的书由斯蒂芬·霍金撰写，探讨了宇宙中一些最大的谜团，并推广了科学在帮助解决问题方面非常重要的观点。)”可知，A Short History of Nearly Everything出版于2003年，是四本书中最早出版的书籍。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Thing Explainer: Complicated Stuff in Simple Words.部分中的“However, the words and phrases used to describe the subjects are too technical to understand.(然而，用于描述主题的单词和短语过于专业，难以理解。)”可知，这本书中用于描述主题的单词和短语过于专业，难以理解。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Ask an Astronaut: My Guide to Life in Space.部分中的“Q&A format makes it easy to quickly find answers and images are used to illustrate some of the more complex ideas, making it suitable for both children and adults. (问答的形式可以很容易地快速找到答案，并使用图像来说明一些更复杂的想法，使其适合儿童和成人。)”以及文章Brief Answers to the Big Questions.部分中的“Since complex ideas are communicated in a simple and understandable language, your previous physics knowledge is not required. For more advanced readers, it’s too basic. (因为复杂的思想是用简单易懂的语言传达的，所以不需要你以前的物理知识。对于更高级的读者来说，它太基础了。)”可知，这两本书都具有吸引普通公众的特质。故选D。 B Around the world, traditional crafts are falling victim to technology and globalization. In Hong Kong, Miru Wong Ka-lam is doing her bit to keep the art of Yue embroidery (粤绣) alive. Wong’s hand-embroidered shoe shop, Sindart, is one of a few in the city to have survived the industry. To share her skills, the third-generation owner of the 65-year-old small business holds weekly workshops for those eager to learn the dying art of embroidery. When family members gather for dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they exchange gifts. Handmade slippers (拖鞋) used to be a popular item to give to elderly members of the family. Unfortunately, the practice is now less common. “When my grandparents started the shop in the 1950s, there were a lot more orders for handmade slippers. Now, it seems that people are more focused on buying mooncakes,” Wong says. Cheaper, machine-embroidered slippers are another threat (威胁) to the traditional craft’s survival. Wong, however, believes that handmade slippers have better quality compared with machine-made ones. “Machine-made slippers feel different from handmade ones,” she says. “The material is too soft, making the slippers uncomfortable.” One element (元素) that makes Sindart’s slippers unique is the wide range of designs. “My late grandfather, who founded Sindart in 1958 in a tiny shop, created his own embroidery designs in the1950s,” Wong says. Wong has made up her mind to give new life to the art of Yue embroidery by adding modern elements and making footwear that is suitable for everyday use. “This includes applying hand embroidery to not only slippers, which is the tradition, but also to other types of shoes. Now I’m studying shoemaking techniques in a shoe factory so that I can achieve this,” she says. 4. What is Wong’s purpose in holding weekly workshops? A. To enlarge her business. B. To practice her embroidery skills. C. To promote the art of embroidery. D. To increase her influence in the industry. 5. Why have handmade slippers become less popular during the Mid-Autumn Festival? A. People think they’re out of date. B. Old people do not want to wear them. C. They’re not as good as they used to be. D. People prefer to buy mooncakes instead. 6. Why are machine-made slippers considered a threat to handmade slippers? A. They are of higher quality. B. They are more comfortable. C. They are more affordable. D. They are made of softer material. 7. What will Wong do in the future? A. Open more shoe factories. B. Expand her product range. C. Apply hand embroidery to clothes. D. Build partnerships with local shoe factories. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在香港，传统手工艺正受到技术和全球化的冲击，但Miru Wong Ka-lam正在努力保持粤绣艺术的活力。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“To share her skills, the third-generation owner of the 65-year-old small business holds weekly workshops for those eager to learn the dying art of embroidery.(为了分享她的技艺，这家已有65年历史的小企业的第三代老板每周都会为那些渴望学习刺绣这门濒临灭绝的艺术的人举办讲习班)”可知，Wong每周举办工作坊的目的是为了推广刺绣艺术。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““When my grandparents started the shop in the 1950s, there were a lot more orders for handmade slippers. Now, it seems that people are more focused on buying mooncakes,” Wong says.(Wong说：“我祖父母在20世纪50年代开这家店的时候，手工拖鞋的订单要多得多。现在，人们似乎更关注买月饼。”)”可知，手工拖鞋在中秋节变得不那么受欢迎是因为现在人们更喜欢买月饼作为礼物。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Cheaper, machine-embroidered slippers are another threat (威胁) to the traditional craft’s survival.(更便宜的机绣拖鞋是对传统工艺生存的另一个威胁)”可知，机器制造的拖鞋被认为是手工拖鞋的威胁，因为它们更便宜。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Wong has made up her mind to give new life to the art of Yue embroidery by adding modern elements and making footwear that is suitable for everyday use.(Wong决心给粤绣艺术注入新的生命，加入现代元素，制作适合日常使用的鞋子)”可知，Wong决定在粤绣艺术中加入现代元素，制作适合日常使用的鞋子，由此可知，未来她会扩大她的产品范围。故选B。 C Have you ever imagined a tennis lesson from one of the world’s greatest tennis players at your local court? This dream came true for two young players, who got to train with 20-year-old superstar Emma Raducanu after she appeared as a hologram (全息图) — a photographic recording of the image. While Sam Clague, 14, and T’nae Diamond Paisley, 12, were both in London, the British number one was in Abu Dhabi. During the world’s first holographic lesson, Ms Raducanu’s avatar (头像) appeared to feed balls to the players and gave live feedback on their shots, like “that was fast” and “there was lots of topspin (上旋) on that”. Even Sam said he thought she had been pre-recorded at first until she spoke with him directly. Their holographic training session offers a glimpse into how advancing technology could revolutionize tennis coaching, according to Dr Ian Pearson. Dr Pearson thinks that mixed reality headsets will soon allow tennis players to feel they are playing in unusual virtual environments, like on a space station or the middle of a lake. Through 5G, the future of tennis will see increased interaction between real life tennis courts and the rich imagination we see in computer games — playing whenever, wherever and whoever you want. Full sensory (全感官) virtual reality could even place the viewer inside the tennis player’s shoes in real time. Dr Pearson said, “By 2030, with active skin technology, the playing styles and even the sensations of top-level players could be captured, so that anyone could experience how it actually felt to play that game through full sensory virtual reality.” Finally, sportswear made from smart materials could allow for a digital coach powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to provide feedback on a player’s form. Dr Pearson said, “AI-controlled suits made from smart materials, such as fabrics with sensors, can help players find the perfect stroke when hitting or returning a serve by quickly learning the muscle memory of a flawless forehand. Using direct feedback from friendly virtual AI coaches, new players can develop and learn much more quickly.” 8. What did Ms Raducanu do in the first holographic lesson? A. Give players a real time guidance. B. Require players to follow her shots. C. Record coaching contents in advance. D. Analyze techniques after the holographic lesson. 9. What can full sensory virtual reality make viewers do? A. Increase their imagination of sports. B. Take the place of top level players. C. Experience the feeling of players on the spot. D. Have a sense of playing in an unusual place. 10. What’s Dr Pearson’s attitude towards virtual AI coaches? A. Critical. B. Skeptical. C. Favorable. D. Cautious. 11. What might be the best title for the text? A. The future of tennis coaching. B. The threat from AI to coaches. C. The first live coaching online. D. The appearance of digital tennis partners. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍全息训练课程让人们得以一窥先进的技术如何给网球教练带来革命性的变化。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“During the world’s first holographic lesson, Ms Raducanu’s avatar (头像) appeared to feed balls to the players and gave live feedback on their shots, like ‘that was fast’and ‘there was lots of topspin (上旋) on that’. (在世界上第一堂全息课程中，Raducanu的虚拟形象似乎会给球员传球，并对他们的击球给出实时反馈，比如‘这个球很快’和‘这上面有很多上旋’。)”可知，Raducanu在第一节全息课上给球员一个实时的指导。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“Dr Pearson said, ‘By 2030, with active skin technology, the playing styles and even the sensations of top-level players could be captured, so that anyone could experience how it actually felt to play that game through full sensory virtual reality.’ (Pearson博士说：‘到2030年，有了活性皮肤技术，顶级玩家的游戏风格甚至感觉都可以被捕捉到，这样任何人都可以通过全感官虚拟现实体验玩游戏的真实感受。’)”可知，全感官虚拟现实能让观众现场体验球员的感受。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Dr Pearson said, ‘AI-controlled suits made from smart materials, such as fabrics with sensors, can help players find the perfect stroke when hitting or returning a serve by quickly learning the muscle memory of a flawless forehand. Using direct feedback from friendly virtual AI coaches, new players can develop and learn much more quickly.’ (Pearson 博士说：‘由智能材料制成的人工智能控制套装，如带传感器的织物，可以通过快速学习完美正手的肌肉记忆，帮助玩家在击球或回发球时找到完美的击球方式。通过友好的虚拟人工智能教练的直接反馈，新玩家可以更快地发展和学习。’)”可知，Pearson博士认为虚拟人工智能教练能使新球员更快地成长和学习，所以他的态度是赞成的。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第四段中“Their holographic training session offers a glimpse into how advancing technology could revolutionize tennis coaching, according to Dr Ian Pearson. (Ian Pearson博士说，他们的全息训练课程让人们得以一窥先进的技术如何给网球教练带来革命性的变化。)”可知，文章讲述了未来先进的技术如何给网球训练带来革命性的变化，所以A项The future of tennis coaching. (网球教练的未来。)是本文的最佳标题。故选A项。 D “WHAT IS CIVILISATION?” asked Kenneth Clark 50 years ago in the seminal (开创性的) BBC series on the subject. “I don’t know, and I can’t define it in abstract terms, yet. But I think I can recognize it when I see it, and I’m looking at it now.” And he turned to gesture behind him, at the soaring Gothic towers and flying buttresses of Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院). It seems inhuman to care more about a building than about people. That the sight of Notre Dame going up in flames has attracted so much more attention than floods in southern Africa which killed over 1,000 arouses understandable feelings of guilt. Yet the widespread, intense grief at the sight of the cathedral’s (大教堂) collapsing steeple (尖塔) is in fact profoundly human — and in a particularly 21st-century way. Familiarity breeds affection. A building on whose sunny steps you have rested, in front of which you have taken a selfie with your loved one, becomes a warm part of your memories and thus of yourself. That helps explain why China is in mourning — WeChat, young China’s principal (主要的) means of talking to itself, has been following the story. And it will be rebuilt. The effort to rebuild it will bring people together. Within 24 hours, €600m ($677m) had been raised from businesses and rich people, and a rash of crowdfunding campaigns started. Yet the emotions the sight aroused were less about the building itself than about what losing it might mean. Notre Dame is an expression of humanity at its collective best. Its survival through 850 years of political turbulence — through war, revolution and Nazi occupation — binds the present to the past. It will never be the same, but that is as it should be. As Victor Hugo wrote in “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”, a three-volume love-letter to the cathedral: “Great edifices (建筑物), like great mountains, are the work of centuries. Art is often transformed as it is being made… Time is the architect, the nation is the builder.” 12. What can we infer according to Paragraph 1? A. Kenneth Clark is a staff (职员) in BBC. B. Kenneth Clark believes that Notre Dame is a symbol of civilization. C. Civilization is so abstract that Kenneth Clark can’t recognise it. D. Notre Dame is the subject of the BBC series. 13. Why has the sight of Notre Dame going up in flames attracted so much attention according to the passage? A. Because the sunny steps in Notre Dame for people to rest on is impressive. B. Because Notre Dame has boosted the local economy. C. Because numerable people around the world has been there and left good memories. D. Because social media like WeChat in China help more people know it. 14. Which of the following can best explain the underlined word in Paragraph 4? A. current B. parties C. power D. disorder 15. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The essence (精髓) of Notre Dame will be lost if we rebuild it. B. It is difficult to rebuild Notre Dame. C. If it were not for the fire, Notre Dame would always stay the same. D. Notre Dame will change as time goes by even without the fire. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述了巴黎圣母院的烧毁以及回顾该建筑赋予人类的意义。对于巴黎圣母院的烧毁，人们普遍而强烈的悲痛是发自内心的，由此进一步论述了人们关心巴黎圣母院的原因。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“‘WHAT IS CIVILISATION?’ asked Kenneth Clark 50 years ago in the seminal (开创性) BBC series on the subject. ‘I don’t know, and I can’t define it in abstract terms, yet. But I think I can recognize it when I see it, and I’m looking at it now.’ And he turned to gesture behind him, at the soaring Gothic towers and flying buttresses of Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院).(50年前，Kenneth Clark在英国广播公司关于这个主题的开创性系列节目中问道：‘什么是文明？我不知道，我还不能用抽象的术语来定义它。但我想当我看到它的时候我能认出它，我现在正在看它。’然后他转过身来，对着身后高耸的哥特式塔楼和圣母院的飞扶壁做手势。)”可知，Kenneth Clark认为圣母院是文明的象征。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段“Familiarity breeds affection. A building on whose sunny steps you have rested, in front of which you have taken a selfie with your loved one, becomes a warm part of your memories and thus of yourself. (熟悉会滋生感情。一座你在阳光明媚的台阶上休息，在它前面与你所爱的人自拍的建筑，会成为你记忆中温暖的一部分，也会成为你自己的一部分。)”可知，因为全世界无数的人都去过那里，留下了美好的回忆，所以圣母院着火的景象引起了人们的极大关注。故选C项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。由第四段“Yet the emotions the sight aroused were less about the building itself than about what losing it might mean. Notre Dame is an expression of humanity at its collective best. Its survival through 850 years of political turbulence — through war, revolution and Nazi occupation — binds the present to the past.(然而，这一景象激起的情绪与其说是关于这座建筑本身，不如说是关于失去它可能意味着什么。圣母院体现了人类最美好的集体。它在850年的政治……中幸存下来——通过战争、革命和纳粹占领——将现在与过去联系在一起。)”中through war, revolution and Nazi occupation可知，这些是属于政治“动荡或者紊乱”，所以猜测turbulence表“动荡，紊乱”的意思。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章最后一段“It will never be the same, but that is as it should be. As Victor Hugo wrote in ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’, a three-volume love-letter to the cathedral:‘Great edifices (建筑物), like great mountains, are the work of centuries. Art is often transformed as it is being made… Time is the architect, the nation is the builder.’(它将永远不会一样，但这是应该的。正如维克多·雨果在写给大教堂的三卷本情书《巴黎圣母院》中所写：“伟大的建筑，就像伟大的山脉，是几个世纪的杰作。艺术往往在制作过程中发生变化……时间是建筑师，国家是建设者。”)”特别是第一句话可知，最后一段主要讲即使没有大火，圣母院也会随着时间的推移而改变。故选D项。 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。 How to start up a library of things Rather than cluttering (乱推放) our houses, starting up a library of things allows people to borrow and share huge, pricey goods in the neighbourhood. ____16____ But instead of borrowing books, local people are borrowing drills, pasta makers and guitars for an affordable fee. Here’s how to start your own: Talk to your neighbours ____17____ Do they feel their home is too cluttered? Do they want to do their bit for the environment and spend less money? Link into local networks and ask people to vote on a “wish list” of items they could borrow. Find a space Start small in someone’s garage or local market to see what items are most popular. Then find space in buildings in urban areas with high footfall (客流量) such as libraries or community hubs. ____18____ Why start a library of things? We were living in a small house and needed some tools to put up shelves. We didn’t want to own the tools and hiring them was expensive! ____19____ Inspired by tool libraries in the US and lending libraries in Berlin, we started a small library of things locally and seven years later we’re running five library of things locations across London. What other impact on the local area? We’ve run very successful events led by borrowers such as mending meetups, sewing classes, DIY classes. ____20____ Borrowers have previously tested out new food businesses at the market by using our items. And for every £10 someone spends on borrowing, £8 stays locally, creating local jobs and supporting the local community spaces. A. Find out if local people need a sharing library. B. The library of things has a variety of effects locally. C. You’ll need some money to set up your sharing library. D. What’s more, we were also discomforted by the waste we made. E. But in suburban and rural areas, a mobile sharing library might be better. F. Speak to others who have done it and are willing to share their knowledge. G. Affordable, convenient and environmental-friendly sharing libraries are popping up. 【答案】16. G 17. A 18. E 19. D 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了开设一家共享物品馆的步骤和它对社会经济产生的积极作用。 【16题详解】 上文“Rather than cluttering our houses, starting up a library of things allows people to borrow and share huge, pricey goods in the neighbourhood.(与其让我们的房子变得杂乱无章，不如建立一个物品馆，让人们能够在邻里之间借用和分享大型、昂贵的物品)”引入共享物品馆的概念，下文“But instead of borrowing books, local people are borrowing drills, pasta makers and guitars for an affordable fee.(但当地人不是在借书，而是在借用电钻、意大利面制作机和吉他，费用合理)”与空处构成转折关系，表明人们没有去借书而是租借了其他的物品，G项“经济实惠、便捷且环保的共享物品馆正在兴起。” 承上启下，自然过渡到共享物品馆的介绍，符合语境。故选G项。 【17题详解】 上文“Talk to your neighbours(与你的邻居交谈)”指出要和邻里交流，下文“Do they feel their home is too cluttered? Do they want to do their bit for the environment and spend less money? Link into local networks and ask people to vote on a “wish list” of items they could borrow.(他们是否觉得家里太杂乱？他们是否愿意为环境尽一份力并减少开支？与当地网络联系起来，让人们对一个他们可以借用的物品“愿望清单”进行投票)”列举了可能的对话内容，A项“找出当地居民是否需要一个共享物品馆。”指出与邻居交谈的目的，local people与下文的they相呼应，符合语境。故选A项。 18题详解】 上文“Start small in someone’s garage or local market to see what items are most popular. Then find space in buildings in urban areas with high footfall such as libraries or community hubs.(可以从某人的车库或当地市场开始，小规模尝试，看看哪些物品最受欢迎。然后在城市地区人流量大的建筑如图书馆或社区中心找到空间)”指导如何在城市地区寻找场地，E项“但在郊区和农村地区，移动共享图书馆可能更合适。”与上文形成对比，指出在郊区和农村地区的不同策略，符合语境。故选E项。 【19题详解】 上文“We were living in a small house and needed some tools to put up shelves. We didn’t want to own the tools and hiring them was expensive!(我们当时住在一所小房子里，需要一些工具来搭架子。我们不想拥有这些工具，而且租赁它们很贵！)”描述了创立共享物品馆的动机，D项“更重要的是，我们也被自己产生的浪费困扰。”对创立背景进一步描述，同时也是对小标题“Why start a library of things?(为什么建立物品馆)”原因的举例说明，符合语境。故选D项。 【20题详解】 上文“We’ve run very successful events led by borrowers such as mending meetups, sewing classes, DIY classes.(我们成功举办了由借阅者主导的各类活动，如修理聚会、缝纫课、DIY课)”描述了共享物品馆产生的积极影响，下文“Borrowers have previously tested out new food businesses at the market by using our items. And for every £10 someone spends on borrowing, £8 stays locally, creating local jobs and supporting the local community spaces.(借用者之前通过使用我们的物品在市场上测试新的食品业务。每借出10英镑，就有8英镑留在当地，创造当地就业机会并支持当地社区空间)”列举了共享物品馆给当地带来的好处，B项“共享物品馆在当地产生了各种影响。”强调了共享物品馆的多方面积极效应，是对下文的概括，符合语境。故选B项。 第三部分 语言运用（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） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I used to get anxious before Father’s Day because I didn’t know what to buy as a gift.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者建议给父亲送实用礼物，并珍惜与父亲的相处时光，强调快乐比物质礼物更重要。 【21题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我过去常常搜寻无数的店为了寻找爸爸喜欢的礼物。A. search搜索，搜寻；B. design设计；C. record记录；D. restore恢复。根据原文中的“I didn’t know what to buy as a gift”可知，想买礼物，自然就会去搜寻商店。故选A项。 【22题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：那是几年前，当我天真地以为每个节日都是关于礼物时候。A. chances机会；B. gifts礼物；C. promises承诺；D. hopes希望。根据前文“I didn’t know what to buy as a gift.”可知，作者过去常常为买礼物而焦虑，说明他当时认为节日与礼物紧密相关。故选B项。 【23题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：那些年，父亲节过后好几个月，我爸爸才会收到一份礼物。A. sent发送；B. offered提供；C. received收到；D. shared分享。根据原文中的“because he always told me he never ‘needs’ anything.”可知，既然父亲说他不需要礼物，那么我寄礼物就不准时，他肯定会晚些收到礼物。故选C项。 【24题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：所以我不再给他买东西了，而是开始带他去看电影、去餐馆或去看演出，这带给他很多笑声。A. moreover而且；B. instead相反，代替；C. therefore因此；D. regardless不管。文中的“So I stopped getting him things”和空后的“started taking him out to movies, to restaurants or to shows”构成对比，所以要用instead表示这种对比。这里表明作者停止买礼物，取而代之的是带父亲出去享受时光，因此正确答案是B。故选B项。 【25题详解】 考查动词短语词义辨析。我们应该把时间和父亲一起花在他们真正热衷的事情上。A. refer to提到，涉及；B. put off推迟；C. focus on集中注意力于；D. figure out解决，弄明白。根据后文“ If he is fond of fishing, go fishing with him.”可知，父亲喜欢钓鱼，就和他一起去钓鱼，那本句作者就强调的是我们应该把时间“集中”（focus on）在与父亲一起做他真正热衷的事情上。故选C项。 【26题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我们应该把时间和父亲一起花在他们真正热衷的事情上。A. passion热情，热衷；B. optimism乐观；C. respect尊重；D. sympathy同情。根据后文“If he is fond of fishing, go fishing with him.”可知，作者是说我们应该把时间花在父亲热衷（passion）的事情上。故选A项。 【27题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：你能做的任何与你父亲共度时光的事情都比你能在盒子里包装（wrap）并系上蝴蝶结的任何事情都要好。A. wrap包装；B. discover发现；C. imagine想象；D. touch触摸。根据后文“put a bow on”可知，这里是在说把礼物包装“wrap”起来并系上蝴蝶结，作为与前面提到的与父亲共度时光的对比。故选A项。 【28题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：然而，如果你仍然决定也要送一份物质主义的礼物，那么就把需要替换的换掉。A. strange奇怪的；B. flexible灵活的；C. expensive昂贵的；D. materialistic物质主义的。根据前文的“But never had I successfully bought a satisfactory one”，可知，从没买过一个满意的礼物，用钱买到的都是“物质主义的”礼物，这是作者不推崇的，因此，D项“materialistic”符合语境。故选D项。 【29题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：如果你仍然决定也要送一份物质主义的礼物，那么就把需要更新的换掉。A. repaired修复；B. unfolded展开；C. exchanged交换；D. updated更新。根据后文的“So buy a new one for him.”可知，作者建议可以给父亲买一个新的，那就是替换掉需要“更新”的。因此，D. update“更新”最为贴切。故选D项。 【30题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：爸爸，很抱歉，但这真的是你的割草机能够工作的最后一个夏天了。A. waste浪费；B. work工作；C. quit放弃；D. lose失去。根据前文的“replace what needs to be updated”作者认为可以替换掉需要更新的东西。那么，爸爸的割草机将被替换掉了，就是说将不能再工作，B项“work”符合语境。故选B项。 【31题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：如果你爸爸像我爸爸一样，他会一直使用到需要替换的东西完全坏了为止。A. simply简单地；B. partly部分地；C. completely完全地；D. slightly稍微地。根据后文的“is-no-possible-way-it-can-be-fixed broken(没有可能修好的坏了)”，可以推断出此处是在说他会一直使用到需要替换的东西“完全”坏了为止，因此C项“completely”符合语境。故选C项。 【32题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：许多人可能不再和他们的爸爸有关系了。A. relationship关系；B.experiment实验；C.exploration探索；D.explanation解释。根据句意，这里是在说很多人和他们的爸爸之间的关系可能不再紧密或存在，因此A项“relationship”符合语境。故选A项。 【33题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：所以对于像我这样幸运的人来说，把我们的爸爸当作理所当然的是一种耻辱。A. duty职责；B.right权利；C. shame耻辱；D. challenge挑战。 根据前文“Many people may no longer have a relationship with their dad.”和“So for those who are lucky like me”可知，作者认为很多人和父亲关系不好，我们应该感到幸运因为与父亲保持亲密关系，因此不应该把父亲视为理所当然，把我们的父亲视为理所当然就是“可耻”的。故选C项。 【34题详解】 考查动词短语词义辨析。句意：我们可以笑的时候肯定能弥补我们不能笑的时候。A. take up占据；开始从事；B. make up for弥补；补偿；C. catch up with赶上；追上；D. bring back带回；使想起。这里是在对比“我们可以笑的时候”和“我们不能笑的时候”，强调的是笑的重要性，即笑的时候能够让我们感到快乐和满足，从而“弥补”或“补偿”那些不能笑的时候的不快。B项“make up for”符合语境。故选B项。 【35题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：现在，和你的爸爸一起做些让他开心的事情。忘记物质主义的礼物吧。带来欢笑吧。A. Prepare准备；B. Observe观察；C. Support支持；D. Forget忘记。根据文中的“Anything you can do to spend time with your father is better than anything you can wrap in a box and put a bow on”我们可知，作者建议忽略物质礼物，转而创造欢笑，D项Forget“忘记”符合语境。故选D项。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Nowadays, we are used to opening ____36____ app to skim public reviews for reference before going to a restaurant.

Jobos were their favorite fruit, but the tree belonged to a lady who lived in the house by the hill. They heard she was difficult, but that sometimes she would give fruit in return for an errand(差使) The girls finally gathered their courage to knock on her door. An elderly woman with a fierce look answered, staring down at the girls. “We heard …”said Sandy, her voice shaky, “that you give jobos in payment for running an errand.” The lady raised one eyebrow, then went into the kitchen and took two baskets. She pushed them into the girls’ hands.“Go fill these with jobos, and come right back.” The girls raced up the hill to the tree and filled the baskets with the ripest jobos. Back at the house, the lady filled a bag with rice and handed it to Sandy. “Take this bag and one basket of jobos to the Brown family. And ask them for the payment,” the lady added with a tight smile.“If you return without the payment, you won’t get the fruit.” The girls struggled all the way with the bag and the basket. When they were there, Mrs. Brown answered the door. Inside on the floor were three little children, each painting something on papers. Mr. Brown was lying sick in bed.Times were hard. The girls handed her the food.“This is from the lady with the jobo tree, ” said Sandy. “She asked for the payment, too.”Jane said awkwardly. “The payment! The payment!” The children repeated, waving the paper in their hands happily. Sandy and Jane looked at each other strangely. With a smile, Mrs. Brown handed Sandy a large sealed(密封的)envelope so full that it was almost starting to break open.

Tapping her chin, Sandy murmured, “If it’s money, that’s a great deal! If it’s not, what could it be?” Jane, lost in thought, didn’t reply at once. She placed her palms on envelope, reflected on the family and suddenly she claimed, “Paintings! It must be the girls’ paintings! After she explained to Sandy, they arrived at the old lady’s. Awkwardly, Jane handed the lady the envelope with trembling hands. The lady opened the envelope, took out a pile of papers and smiled. On the papers were colorful drawings from the children. At this scene, Sandy and Jane looked at each other and smiled. Then, the girls gained their payment- a full basket of ripe jobos. For them, it turned out that their errand not only gained them their favorite fruit, but also a sweet taste of getting payment by their hard work. When they took a bite, the juice was as sweet as the feeling inside their heart. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件为线索展开，讲述了两个女孩通过替人跑腿获得水果的故事，从中体会到了通过自己的劳动获得回报的愉快体验的生活故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由续写段落第一段首句内容“当她们往回走的时候，她们担心地讨论信封里面是什么东西。”可知，第一段可描写她们对于信封中内容的猜测的心理和语言活动。 ②由续写段落第二段首句内容“女士打开了信封，里面是一沓纸，她笑了”可知，第二段可描写女士接下来的反应以及女孩们获得的回报以及她们的感受。 2.续写线索：猜测信封内容——女士打开验证猜测——女士给予回报——女孩们得到回报 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①低语：murmured/talked softly/speak in a low voice ②陷入沉思：lost in thought/ pondered/ contemplated/reflected ③放置：placed/put/set ④声称：claim/assert/profess 情绪类 ①颤抖的：trembling/shaking ③焦急的：anxious/worried ③甜的：sweet/ fragrant 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Luckily for you, we have made a list of the best science books that you should not miss. A Short History of Nearly Everything Written by Bill Bryson, it is a popular science book that explains some areas of science.It was published on February 4,2003, and was one of the best-selling popular science books of 2005 in the UK.It explains a variety of scientific topics in a vivid and comprehensive way, which makes it accessible for people with no science knowledge.But it’s quite long. Thing Explainer: Complicated Stuff in Simple Words It is a 2015 non-fiction book created by Randall Munroe, in which the author explains various complex subjects using common English words.It covers a wide range of topics and explains complex ideas using illustrations, so it’s entertaining and easily understood.However, the words and phrases used to describe the subjects are too technical to understand. Ask an Astronaut: My Guide to Life in Space Published on October 19,2017, the book is Tim Peake’s personal guide to life in space, based on his own experience. Q&A format makes it easy to quickly find answers and images are used to illustrate some of the more complex ideas, making it suitable for both children and adults.

Brief Answers to the Big Questions Written by Stephen Hawking, the 2018 book examines some of the universe’s greatest mysteries and promotes the view that science is very important in helping solve problems.It provides a great introduction to Stephen Hawking’s thoughts.Since complex ideas are communicated in a simple and understandable language, your previous physics knowledge is not required.For more advanced readers, it’s too basic. 1.

In Hong Kong, Miru Wong Ka-lam is doing her bit to keep the art of Yue embroidery (粤绣) alive. Wong’s hand-embroidered shoe shop, Sindart, is one of a few in the city to have survived the industry. To share her skills, the third-generation owner of the 65-year-old small business holds weekly workshops for those eager to learn the dying art of embroidery. When family members gather for dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they exchange gifts. Handmade slippers (拖鞋) used to be a popular item to give to elderly members of the family. Unfortunately, the practice is now less common. “When my grandparents started the shop in the 1950s, there were a lot more orders for handmade slippers. Now, it seems that people are more focused on buying mooncakes,” Wong says. Cheaper, machine-embroidered slippers are another threat (威胁) to the traditional craft’s survival. Wong, however, believes that handmade slippers have better quality compared with machine-made ones. “Machine-made slippers feel different from handmade ones,” she says. “The material is too soft, making the slippers uncomfortable.” One element (元素) that makes Sindart’s slippers unique is the wide range of designs. “My late grandfather, who founded Sindart in 1958 in a tiny shop, created his own embroidery designs in the1950s,” Wong says. Wong has made up her mind to give new life to the art of Yue embroidery by adding modern elements and making footwear that is suitable for everyday use. “This includes applying hand embroidery to not only slippers, which is the tradition, but also to other types of shoes. Now I’m studying shoemaking techniques in a shoe factory so that I can achieve this,” she says. 4. What is Wong’s purpose in holding weekly workshops? A. To enlarge her business. B. To practice her embroidery skills. C. To promote the art of embroidery. D. To increase her influence in the industry. 5. Why have handmade slippers become less popular during the Mid-Autumn Festival? A. People think they’re out of date. B. Old people do not want to wear them. C. They’re not as good as they used to be. D. People prefer to buy mooncakes instead. 6. Why are machine-made slippers considered a threat to handmade slippers? A. They are of higher quality. B. They are more comfortable. C. They are more affordable. D. They are made of softer material. 7. What will Wong do in the future? A. Open more shoe factories. B. Expand her product range. C. Apply hand embroidery to clothes. D. Build partnerships with local shoe factories. C Have you ever imagined a tennis lesson from one of the world’s greatest tennis players at your local court? This dream came true for two young players, who got to train with 20-year-old superstar Emma Raducanu after she appeared as a hologram (全息图) — a photographic recording of the image. While Sam Clague, 14, and T’nae Diamond Paisley, 12, were both in London, the British number one was in Abu Dhabi. During the world’s first holographic lesson, Ms Raducanu’s avatar (头像) appeared to feed balls to the players and gave live feedback on their shots, like “that was fast” and “there was lots of topspin (上旋) on that”. Even Sam said he thought she had been pre-recorded at first until she spoke with him directly. Their holographic training session offers a glimpse into how advancing technology could revolutionize tennis coaching, according to Dr Ian Pearson. Dr Pearson thinks that mixed reality headsets will soon allow tennis players to feel they are playing in unusual virtual environments, like on a space station or the middle of a lake. Through 5G, the future of tennis will see increased interaction between real life tennis courts and the rich imagination we see in computer games — playing whenever, wherever and whoever you want. Full sensory (全感官) virtual reality could even place the viewer inside the tennis player’s shoes in real time. Dr Pearson said, “By 2030, with active skin technology, the playing styles and even the sensations of top-level players could be captured, so that anyone could experience how it actually felt to play that game through full sensory virtual reality.” Finally, sportswear made from smart materials could allow for a digital coach powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to provide feedback on a player’s form. Dr Pearson said, “AI-controlled suits made from smart materials, such as fabrics with sensors, can help players find the perfect stroke when hitting or returning a serve by quickly learning the muscle memory of a flawless forehand. Using direct feedback from friendly virtual AI coaches, new players can develop and learn much more quickly.” 8. What did Ms Raducanu do in the first holographic lesson? A.

D “WHAT IS CIVILISATION?” asked Kenneth Clark 50 years ago in the seminal (开创性的) BBC series on the subject. “I don’t know, and I can’t define it in abstract terms, yet. But I think I can recognize it when I see it, and I’m looking at it now.” And he turned to gesture behind him, at the soaring Gothic towers and flying buttresses of Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院). It seems inhuman to care more about a building than about people. That the sight of Notre Dame going up in flames has attracted so much more attention than floods in southern Africa which killed over 1,000 arouses understandable feelings of guilt. Yet the widespread, intense grief at the sight of the cathedral’s (大教堂) collapsing steeple (尖塔) is in fact profoundly human — and in a particularly 21st-century way. Familiarity breeds affection. A building on whose sunny steps you have rested, in front of which you have taken a selfie with your loved one, becomes a warm part of your memories and thus of yourself. That helps explain why China is in mourning — WeChat, young China’s principal (主要的) means of talking to itself, has been following the story. And it will be rebuilt. The effort to rebuild it will bring people together. Within 24 hours, €600m ($677m) had been raised from businesses and rich people, and a rash of crowdfunding campaigns started. Yet the emotions the sight aroused were less about the building itself than about what losing it might mean. Notre Dame is an expression of humanity at its collective best. Its survival through 850 years of political turbulence — through war, revolution and Nazi occupation — binds the present to the past. It will never be the same, but that is as it should be. As Victor Hugo wrote in “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”, a three-volume love-letter to the cathedral: “Great edifices (建筑物), like great mountains, are the work of centuries. Art is often transformed as it is being made… Time is the architect, the nation is the builder.” 12. What can we infer according to Paragraph 1? A. Kenneth Clark is a staff (职员) in BBC. B. Kenneth Clark believes that Notre Dame is a symbol of civilization. C. Civilization is so abstract that Kenneth Clark can’t recognise it. D. Notre Dame is the subject of the BBC series. 13. Why has the sight of Notre Dame going up in flames attracted so much attention according to the passage? A. Because the sunny steps in Notre Dame for people to rest on is impressive. B. Because Notre Dame has boosted the local economy. C. Because numerable people around the world has been there and left good memories. D. Because social media like WeChat in China help more people know it. 14. Which of the following can best explain the underlined word in Paragraph 4? A. current B. parties C. power D. disorder 15. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The essence (精髓) of Notre Dame will be lost if we rebuild it. B. It is difficult to rebuild Notre Dame. C. If it were not for the fire, Notre Dame would always stay the same. D. Notre Dame will change as time goes by even without the fire. 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。 How to start up a library of things Rather than cluttering (乱推放) our houses, starting up a library of things allows people to borrow and share huge, pricey goods in the neighbourhood. ____16____ But instead of borrowing books, local people are borrowing drills, pasta makers and guitars for an affordable fee.

Jobos were their favorite fruit, but the tree belonged to a lady who lived in the house by the hill. They heard she was difficult, but that sometimes she would give fruit in return for an errand(差使) The girls finally gathered their courage to knock on her door. An elderly woman with a fierce look answered, staring down at the girls. “We heard …”said Sandy, her voice shaky, “that you give jobos in payment for running an errand.” The lady raised one eyebrow, then went into the kitchen and took two baskets. She pushed them into the girls’ hands.“Go fill these with jobos, and come right back.” The girls raced up the hill to the tree and filled the baskets with the ripest jobos. Back at the house, the lady filled a bag with rice and handed it to Sandy. “Take this bag and one basket of jobos to the Brown family. And ask them for the payment,” the lady added with a tight smile.“If you return without the payment, you won’t get the fruit.” The girls struggled all the way with the bag and the basket. When they were there, Mrs. Brown answered the door. Inside on the floor were three little children, each painting something on papers. Mr. Brown was lying sick in bed.Times were hard.
