【解析】
【详解】句意:重音不同的一项是B选项“beautiful”。

【分析】一个女孩因为受不了家里的约束离家出走了,她的父母一直在寻找她。后来她看到了妈妈找她在大街上贴的照片,知道父母还爱她,所以她就回家了。作者通过这件事告诉我们父母总是爱他们的孩子,作为孩子,也要理解父母,要和父母分享快乐、悲伤以及一切事情。
【36题详解】
句意:但是她没有受过太多教育,几年之后,她不得不在大街上要饭来谋生。a little 一点儿,有点儿,修饰不可数名词;a few 一些,修饰可数名词;much 很多,修饰不可数名词;more是many或者much的比较级。空后是years可数名词,而且这里没有比较的意思,故应选B。
【37题详解】
句意:但是她仍然在寻找她的女儿。这四个介词都可以和空前的look构成短语,look for寻找;look after 照顾;look at 看…;look up向上看,查找。根据文意she left home可知,女儿离开了家,她的妈妈一直在寻找她,故应选A。
【38题详解】
句意:她每去一个地方,都会在墙上张贴一张她女儿的大照片。sets on 设置;puts up 张贴;cuts up 切碎;makes up弥补,编造。根据空后a big photo可知,这里是张贴女儿的照片,来寻找她。故应选B。
【39题详解】
句意:她感到如此吃惊以至于她不敢相信自己的眼睛。eyes 眼睛;ears 耳朵;nose 鼻子;head头。根据上文the daughter saw one of the photos可知,女儿看到了照片,她感到很吃惊,所以是不敢相信自己的眼睛。故选A。
【40题详解】
句意:她移动得更近一些,读上面的话:“我仍然爱你..” farther 更远的;further 更远的,进一步的;closer更近的;away离开,远离。根据文意read the words可知,这个女儿想读照片上的字,所以她靠得更近一些,故选C。
【41题详解】
句意:她迫不及待的回家了。going 去,现在分词形式;go 动词原形;to gone 形式错误;to go动词不定式形式。这里使用的是句型can’t wait to do sth.迫不及待去做某事,故应该用动词不定式,选D。
【42题详解】
句意:她把她的妈妈叫醒,“是我,你的女儿回家了。” wake 喊醒,叫醒,动词原形;wakes 第三人称单数形式;woke是wake的过去式;waking是现在分词形式。wake sb. up是固定短语,叫醒某人。全文用的都是一般过去时态,故应选C。
【43题详解】
句意:这个女儿问:门为什么没有锁,可能会进来小偷。what 什么;who 谁;when 什么时候;why为什么。根据文意可知,女儿问妈妈为什么不锁门。故应选D。
【44题详解】
句意:妈妈温柔地回答说:“自从你离开之后,门就没有锁过。” since 自从;for 为了,因为;before 在…之前;unless除非。根据句意可知,这里应选A,since常和现在完成时态搭配使用。
【45题详解】
句意:这样父母和孩子才能都能快乐。with 和…一起;用;in 在…里面;by 通过…方式;on在…上面。in this way是固定短语,用这种方式。故选B。
点睛:这篇短文是语篇记叙文,作者通过一个具体的例子告诉我们父母总是爱自己的孩子,孩子也应理解父母的感受,和父母一起分享自己的快乐、悲伤。短文内容还是比较容易理解的。完形填空考查学生们在具体情境中运用语言的能力,是综合性较强的一个题型,它需要学生具备较强的理解能力,同时也要熟悉单词、短语和句型的用法。做题的时候,应先通读全文,掌握大意,了解作者的写作意图;然后逐一做题,注意上下文的逻辑关系和空前后的固定搭配;最后再读短文,检查答案。有一些题目在上下文里会有前后呼应的关系,有的时候是原词复现,有的时候用同义词。这个题目中考查语法的题目比较多,例如第1小题a few,第2小题中考察了look的短语辨析,第3 小题考查动词短语辨析,第6小题考查了句型can’t wait to do sth.以及第10小题考查了in this way这个固定短语。因此在学习英语的时候,要多注意积累这些短语和句型,并熟练运用。

Dear Liz,
My stay in Thailand has certainly been a wonderful experience of my life.
Life is busy and exciting. Bangkok is just like any other big city with a large population and heavy traffic. I’m very lucky because my host family is in a nice quiet area outside the city. There are Mr. and Mrs. Phairat, their son Sanan, who is 18, the daughter Chinda, who is 16, and Grandpa and Grandma.
I go to an international school with Sanan and Chinda. The school teaches about 70 percent in English, and 30 percent in Thai. I’ve learned some spoken language, but Thai writing is very difficult. The cooking lesson is my favourite. I’m learning all about Thai food and culture. People don’t use chopsticks here, but spoons and forks. When I come back, I'm going to cook you a real Thai meal.
Last weekend we visited some temples. We also drove to Pattaya beach near Bangkok. I thought it was great, but Sanan and Chinda say that next month they’re taking me to Phuket Island, where the beaches are even more beautiful. The month after next, we’re going to travel to Mr. Phairat’s hometown in the north of Thailand. The Phairats own land there, and they have two elephants. I’m going to ride those elephants — and even wash them. Sanan and Chinda say it’s really fun.
I’m amazed by everything in this country, especially by the elephants. Elephants are an important part of Thai culture and the Thai way of life. They have been a traditional symbol (象征) of Thailand for many years in times of war and peace. In the seventh century, a Thai king trained 20,000 elephants for battle.
I’ll tell you all about my Thai boxing (拳击) lessons next time.
Love,
Mandy

55. What is the possible subject of the email?
A. Study trip in Thailand. B. Food culture in Thailand.

China is a country in East Asia. It is large in more than one way. More than 1.4 billion people live here. That’s about a fifth of all the people on Earth! And China is the third or fourth largest country by total area in the world. It covers about 3.7 million square miles.

推理判断题。本文主要讲述了中国的地理环境、河流等信息,最有可能来自地理杂志。故选A。
D
What’s going to happen in the future? Will robots control our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10 to 30 years from now, according to the BBC.
Digital money
We used to pay in cash (现金) for everything we bought. Now when we use a credit card (信用卡) to shop online, money is spent without seeing it. That means we are already using digital money. Using a card is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.
When ATM cards were first introduced, they were not accepted everywhere. But now it’s hard to live without them. It’s reported that people in Sweden have almost stopped using cash, and the US might be the next.
Bionic (仿生的) eye
It’s no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back-by wearing bionic eyes.
A blind eye can no longer sense light, it can also use a camera to “see” the environment and send data (数据) to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A high-resolution (高清的) image could be just a few years away.
Self-driving cars
Unlike a human driver, a self-driving car won’t get distracted (分神) by a phone call, the radio or something outside. The Sensors (探测器) and cameras on the car will allow it to stick strictly to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. This will greatly reduce (减少) the number of road accidents. You could even take a nap while the car drives itself. In the future, driverless cars will be widely accepted.
61. ______ has almost stopped using cash.
A. Sweden B. ATM C. The BBC D. America
62. What does the writer mainly tell us about digital money?
A. We use digital money to shop online without paying money.
B. Digital money has taken the cash’s place in the world.
C. A credit card is easier and safer than using cash.
D. ATM cards are always popular.
63. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction film.
B. Human drivers won't get distracted by something outside.
C. The blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future.
D. There will be no road accidents at all if self-driving cars are used.
64. From the report, we can learn some information about ________.
A. culture and art B. industry and farming
C. science and technology D. traffic and journey
65. Which of the following can be predicted from the passage?
A. There would be a large number of self-driving cars on the road.
B. The blind could use cameras to see things around.
C. We would live a hard life with digital money.
D. Robots would control the world.

Dear Liz,
My stay in Thailand has certainly been a wonderful experience of my life.
Life is busy and exciting. Bangkok is just like any other big city with a large population and heavy traffic. I’m very lucky because my host family is in a nice quiet area outside the city. There are Mr. and Mrs. Phairat, their son Sanan, who is 18, the daughter Chinda, who is 16, and Grandpa and Grandma.
I go to an international school with Sanan and Chinda. The school teaches about 70 percent in English, and 30 percent in Thai. I’ve learned some spoken language, but Thai writing is very difficult. The cooking lesson is my favourite. I’m learning all about Thai food and culture. People don’t use chopsticks here, but spoons and forks. When I come back, I'm going to cook you a real Thai meal.
Last weekend we visited some temples. We also drove to Pattaya beach near Bangkok. I thought it was great, but Sanan and Chinda say that next month they’re taking me to Phuket Island, where the beaches are even more beautiful. The month after next, we’re going to travel to Mr. Phairat’s hometown in the north of Thailand. The Phairats own land there, and they have two elephants. I’m going to ride those elephants — and even wash them. Sanan and Chinda say it’s really fun.
I’m amazed by everything in this country, especially by the elephants. Elephants are an important part of Thai culture and the Thai way of life. They have been a traditional symbol (象征) of Thailand for many years in times of war and peace. In the seventh century, a Thai king trained 20,000 elephants for battle.
I’ll tell you all about my Thai boxing (拳击) lessons next time.
Love,
Mandy

China is a country in East Asia. It is large in more than one way. More than 1.4 billion people live here. That’s about a fifth of all the people on Earth! And China is the third or fourth largest country by total area in the world. It covers about 3.7 million square miles.
This large country has many different kinds of land. It has some very low areas of land. In fact, the sixth lowest point on Earth is in China. It is Ayding Lake in the Turpan Depression (吐鲁番盆地). Other parts of China have mountains. For example, part of the Himalayan mountain is in the west part of the country. This area has some of the highest mountains in the world.
The snow in the mountains is a source (源头) of many rivers. In fact the snow makes two of China’s most important rivers. They are the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. The Yellow River is China’s second longest river. It is very special to the Chinese people, as it was the birthplace of Chinese civilization (文明). The Yangtze River is the longest river in Asia and the third longest river in the world!
There are thousands of rivers in China. But there is still desert in the country. And rainforests are also in some areas of the country. So visitors can enjoy diverse landscapes (景色) in this country!

What’s going to happen in the future? Will robots control our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10 to 30 years from now, according to the BBC.
Digital money
We used to pay in cash (现金) for everything we bought. Now when we use a credit card (信用卡) to shop online, money is spent without seeing it. That means we are already using digital money. Using a card is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.
When ATM cards were first introduced, they were not accepted everywhere. But now it’s hard to live without them. It’s reported that people in Sweden have almost stopped using cash, and the US might be the next.
Bionic (仿生的) eye
It’s no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back-by wearing bionic eyes.
A blind eye can no longer sense light, it can also use a camera to “see” the environment and send data (数据) to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A high-resolution (高清的) image could be just a few years away.
Self-driving cars
Unlike a human driver, a self-driving car won’t get distracted (分神) by a phone call, the radio or something outside. The Sensors (探测器) and cameras on the car will allow it to stick strictly to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. This will greatly reduce (减少) the number of road accidents. You could even take a nap while the car drives itself. In the future, driverless cars will be widely accepted.
61. ______ has almost stopped using cash.
A. Sweden B. ATM C. The BBC D. America
62. What does the writer mainly tell us about digital money?
A. We use digital money to shop online without paying money.
B. Digital money has taken the cash’s place in the world.
C. A credit card is easier and safer than using cash.
D. ATM cards are always popular.
63. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction film.
B. Human drivers won't get distracted by something outside.
C. The blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future.
D. There will be no road accidents at all if self-driving cars are used.
64. From the report, we can learn some information about ________.
A. culture and art B. industry and farming
C. science and technology D. traffic and journey
65. Which of the following can be predicted from the passage?
A. There would be a large number of self-driving cars on the road.
B. The blind could use cameras to see things around.
C. We would live a hard life with digital money.
D. Robots would control the world.

阅读短文,并根据短文回答问题。
Sarah M. went on a 6-month teaching in Indonesia and had a wonderful time learning and growing. Here she tells us her experience in her own words.
On my teaching days I would walk from my place to the classrooms wearing my long skirt and brightly coloured hijab (头巾) covering my hair to respect the culture. I would greet my class in Arabic (阿拉伯语).
The classrooms were often very crowded and I didn’t have a whiteboard to teach with, but we always had a great time. The children were happy to learn and every day we would practise our English through singing, acting or playing games.
Whatever we did, I was usually tired by the end of class but always walked out smiling. It was nice to see the students react so actively to the lesson plans I worked hard to make for them.
I think the most important thing I took home from my journey was the cross-cultural experiences and exchanging of ideas and knowledge.
It’s now clearer to me than ever that to create a better world we need to have respect and understanding between people of different cultures, groups and backgrounds.
