When writing a review, concentrate on exactly what you liked or didn't like. Give examples of strengths and weaknesses, be descriptive and provide background information on an author, director, actor or musician, if possible. Find professional reviews in magazines or newspapers and see how reviewers deal with their topics, but be sure to express your own voice in your review. Grammar Hint for Reviews：When describing a book, movie, album or anything else, use the present tense. Book Reviews Discuss an author's technique, strengths and weaknesses instead of focusing on the plot. Does the story flow？ Is there a strong sense of character and place？Did you stay up until dawn to finish it？Is it good reading for teenagers？What influence did it have on you and why？If you've read other books by the same author, discuss how this book compares. Movie Reviews Think of the major Oscar categories and consider the performances, music, lighting and setting, etc. Do these work together？ Did some hold up while others didn't？ If the movie is based on a book, discuss whether one is better than the other and why. If the movie is a remake, compare the film to its original. Remember that a well­written movie review should discuss strengths and weaknesses. Some readers may not have seen a movie yet, so don't give away an exciting scene or the ending！ College Reviews Begin by providing an overview of the college, including location, size and a description of the campus and/or dorm life. Think about all aspects of your college visit. What academic, athletic and after-class programs are available？ What are the students like？ What makes the college different from others？ Every school has strengths and weaknesses. Be objective. Consider what the school has to offer and who might enjoy or benefit the most from attending there. 15. When writing a review, you . A. cannot refer to any previous review B. must express your own views and opinions C. must provide some information about the author D. needn't give any examples to support your views 16. Which aspects should be included in all three reviews？ A. Strengths and weaknesses. B. Plot and character. C. Programs and scenes. D. Location and description. 17. Where can you probably find the passage？ A. In a personal diary. B. In an official report. C. In a tourist guidebook. D. In a popular magazine. 【答案】15. B 16. A 17. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章列举了几种常见的评论以及怎样写出好的评论。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句话but be sure to express your own voice in your review可以看出一定要在评论中表达自己的观点和心声,故选B. 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据后三段中的Discuss an author's technique, strengths and weaknesses instead of focusing on the plot.和Remember that a well-written movie review should discuss strengths and weaknesses.和Every school has strengths and weaknesses.可知这三种评论里都需要提及strengths and weaknesses（优缺点）。故选A. 【17题详解】 推理判断题。本文主要说明的是如何写出很好的评论，所以不可能是个人日记和官方报告。也不会是旅游指南。最可能的是与写作有关的杂志。故选D. 【点睛】在做阅读理解题过程中，应首先略读一下短文，了解一下短文的大致意思，然后把几个选项含义理解透，尤其注意意思相近，表达有交叉的选项之间的区别。然后再细读短文，把答案填入合适位置。答题时可以把含义相近的几个选项轮流填入同一处位置，反复阅读，反复体会，找出最佳选项，对于实在没有把握的小题可以最后完成。完成短文后，再认真通读一遍全文，看看上下语意是否通顺，是否符合逻辑关系。 另外，做题时要注意文章的首段和每一段的首句或尾句，因为它们往往就是文章的主题句。阅读中要注意要点之间的关系。 B Five days a week, 28-year-old Ebony Smith arrives at Changing Gears Bike Shop at 10:50 a.m., ten minutes before opening. Walking into the shop, she turns on the lights, opens the register, and reviews the repair orders. For the next several hours she will repair bikes with professional skill and care, and guide customers through bike choices like an experienced rider, learning about their needs and preferences, and helping them to find the perfect fit. Although Smith had almost no experience riding a bike and didn’t even enjoy riding one when she first came to Changing Gears, she has stayed in the position for nearly a decade now, and her customers are thankful to her heartfelt assistance. What’s more, many of the shop visitors are youth from families living in low-income housing named Alameda Point. Smith lived in this neighborhood throughout her childhood, and to these youngsters and families she is a positive role model-someone determined to succeed in spite of educational and financial struggles. When she first began at Changing Gears at 19 years old, Smith was living with her parents, who struggled to make a living. She had failed to earn a high school diploma when she didn’t pass California’s high school exit exam. However, when a three-month job training position opened at the bike shop in 2008, Smith took a chance to, as she says, “turn her life around”. She signed up and was quickly hired. Smith is just one of the thousands of Changing Gears’ employees around the world, and her continued success at Changing Gears embodies the shop’s duty to “operate a bicycle-based social enterprise that meets the needs of the underprivileged of our local area”. In addition, the shop has a strong environmental focus, which includes bicycle reuse and recycling. Throughout the years Changing Gears has also engaged youth and families in bicycle field trips and provided free bicycle parking and repair service at local farmers’ markets in order to encourage bike riding as a practical and green form of transportation. Through its blending（协调）of effective small business practices with a social and environmental duty, Changing Gears stays inspired to use bicycles as a vehicle for social change. 18. What can we learn about Ebony Smith? A. She is a bike shop owner. B. She is a professional rider. C. She has a good knowledge of bikes. D. She has a lot of shopping experience. 19. What helped Ebony Smith get into the career? A. Family support. B Personal interest. C. Training opportunity. D. High school education. 20. What does the underlined word “embodies” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Be an example of. B. Be similar to. C. Be the reason for. D. Be modeled after. 21. Which of the following is Changing Gears’ duty? A. Making bike donations. B. Offering help to the poor people. C. Improving bike-riding techniques. D. Drawing people’s attention to bike enterprises. 【答案】18. C 19. C 20. A 21. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述一个自行车店为了帮助当地的穷人，为他们提供培训并安排他们就业。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“For the next several hours she will repair bikes with professional skill and care, and guide customers through bike choices like an experienced rider, learning about their needs and preferences, and helping them to find the perfect fit.”（在接下来的几个小时里，她将用专业的技能和关怀来修理自行车，并像一个经验丰富的骑手一样引导顾客选择自行车，了解他们的需求和喜好，并帮助他们找到最合适的自行车。）可知，Ebony Smith对自行车很精通。故选C。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“However, when a three-month job training position opened at the bike shop in 2008, Smith took a chance to, as she says, “turn her life around”. She signed up and was quickly hired.”（然而，当2008年这家自行车店开设了一个为期三个月的职业培训职位时，史密斯抓住了一个机会，正如她所说，“改变了她的生活”。她报了名，很快就被录用了。）可知，3个月的工作培训机会让她从事这个职业。故选C。 【20题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第四段“and her continued success at Changing Gears embodies the shop’s duty to “operate a bicycle-based social enterprise that meets the needs of the underprivileged of our local area”（她在 Change Gears的持续成功embodies该店的责任，即“经营一家以自行车为基础的社会企业，满足当地贫困人口的需求”。可以猜测出embodies为“代表”之意。故选A。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“the shop’s duty to “operate a bicycle-based social enterprise that meets the needs of the underprivileged of our local are.”（该店的责任，即“经营一家以自行车为基础的社会企业，满足当地贫困人口的需求”。）可知，Changing Gears职责是为当地的穷人提供帮助。故选B。 C Heavy use of social media by young adults — up to two hours a day — doubles their chance of experiencing social anxiety, according to a 2017 study. The study also found that people who are online most frequently are three times more likely to feel social isolation (孤立) than those who are online less than nine times a week. And it isn’t just young adults affected by the social media-loneliness problem. It can be adults, feeling unable to discover new ways to find friendships offline. My patient Janette was painfully shy. At first, she saw social media as a way to experience involvement in people’s lives since she found it difficult to make friends in face-to-face situations. Several months later, her social-media-use increased to over 60 hours a week. “At first, I felt this was really helping me feel less lonely, but after a while the more time I spent scrolling the more depressed and rejected I felt. A part of me knew Facebook friends were not really rejecting me when they posted photos of parties they had not invited me to because we had never met or knew one another only informally. But I just felt worse and worse.” I gave Janette my advice. She first put her phone down and volunteered for a local environmental group which allowed her to meet like-minded people. It can be easy to conflate (混为一谈) being “social” with going to parties and get-togethers, or hanging out at music shows, but those activities aren’t the only way to make friends. Having things in common makes it easier to find things to chat about, especially when you are shy. So Janette explored her other outside interests: hiking and a Sunday movie-going group. With real friends in real life, Janette felt better. Janette started small: signing off for 24 hours, then when she logged back in, she gave herself specific goals — checking the updates of 3 to 4 people she really knew. She wasn’t ready to deactivate (停用) her Facebook profile, but she did leave the many private groups she had joined. She also downloaded software to block websites she could not reject on her own. Janette is better now and people like Janette can overcome their problems as well. 22 What does the 2017 study show? A. Heavy use of social media may cause mental health problems. B. Older people are unsatisfied with their online experiences. C. Two hours a day is the suggested amount of online time. D. Young adults may suffer more from online loneliness. 23. What happened to Janette after she was addicted to social media? A. She couldn’t deal with face-to-face conversations. B. She became less associated with people. C. She was rejected to parties too often. D She couldn’t make friends online. 24. What was the author’s advice to Janette? A. To post photos of parties she joined. B. To chat more with her online friends. C. To become engaged in the real world. D. To record the valued moments of her life. 25. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. How Janette set her specific goals. B. How Janette joined private groups. C. How Janette made new offline friends. D. How Janette broke her social media habit. 【答案】22. A 23. B 24. C 25. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了沉迷社交媒体的危害，并举例讲述珍妮特是如何改掉社交媒体习惯的。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“Heavy use of social media by young adults — up to two hours a day — doubles their chance of experiencing social anxiety, according to a 2017 study. (根据2017年的一项研究，年轻人大量使用社交媒体——每天长达两个小时——使他们经历社交焦虑的几率增加了一倍)”可知，2017的一项研究表明，过度使用社交媒体会增加年轻人的社交焦虑。由此可知，2017年的研究表明了过度使用社交媒体可能会导致心理健康问题。故选A项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Several months later, her social-media-use increased to over 60 hours a week. “At first, I felt this was really helping me feel less lonely, but after a while the more time I spent scrolling the more depressed and rejected I felt.” (几个月后，她的社交媒体使用时间增加到每周60多个小时。“起初，我觉得这真的能帮助我减少孤独感，但过了一段时间，我上网的时间越长，我就越感到沮丧和被拒绝。”)”可知，她把时间都用在社交媒体上，很少与人进行面对面的沟通与联系，由此可知，珍妮特沉迷于社交媒体后她与人的联系越来越少。故选B项。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“I gave Janette my advice. She first put her phone down and volunteered for a local environmental group which allowed her to meet like-minded people. (我给了珍妮特我的建议。她首先放下手机，自愿加入当地的一个环保组织，这让她能够结识志同道合的人)”可知，作者建议她融入现实世界，例如自愿加入当地的一个环保组织。由此可知，作者对她的建议是融入现实世界。故选C项。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Janette started small: signing off for 24 hours, then when she logged back in, she gave herself specific goals — checking the updates of 3 to 4 people she really knew. She wasn’t ready to deactivate (停用) her Facebook profile, but she did leave the many private groups she had joined. She also downloaded software to block websites she could not reject on her own. (珍妮特从小处着手：签到24小时，然后当她重新登录时，她给自己设定了具体的目标——查看她真正认识的3到4个人的更新。她还没有准备好停用她的脸书个人资料，但她确实离开了她加入的许多私人群组。她还下载了软件来屏蔽她自己无法拒绝的网站)”可知，本段内容告诉我们，为了改掉社交媒体习惯，珍妮特从小处着手，离开了她加入的许多私人群组，还下载了软件来屏蔽她自己无法拒绝的网站。由此可知，第四段的主要讲了珍妮特是如何改掉社交媒体习惯的。故选D项。 D The film, Remember the Titans, tells an inspiring story of a sports team achieving the highest level of accomplishment against great challenges. The team’s coach Herman Boone pushes the players farther than they could have imagined. On the first day of practice, he says, “When you put that uniform on, you’d better come to work. We will be perfect in every aspect of the game.” Over the course of the season, the coach and the team come to understand they are not perfect, but by working together, they can be unbeatable. Yet, when it comes specifically to the importance of the pursuit (追求) of perfection mentioned early in the movie, renowned sport psychologist Dr. Jerry Lynch has a different view: “Having such an unachievable goal positions young athletes perfectly for failure. Yet, they keep measuring their self-worth as athletes and people by outcomes and results, by winning and losing, and by achievements and failures. Parents play a huge role in this problem because they believe, usually unconsciously (下意识地) or unintentionally, that they are better parents if their kids are perfect. As a result, I often find myself working with kids who are terribly disappointed in themselves or often angry about not measuring up. Over time, these pressures lead to parents unintentionally refusing to give their love over poor performances, which harms their family relationship.” Lynch encourages parents to remind children that there are only two kinds of athletes: those who fail and those who will fail. Lynch notes, “Professional baseball hitters are considered great if they get a hit a third of the time. Professional basketball players are considered excellent if they make half of their shots from three-point range. If soccer players, on average, make one goal for every five shots they attempt, they are celebrated. Those who are the best always mean to do their best, they strive to be the best they can be, and this puts them in a position for good things to happen… but not perfect things.” 26. What does Herman Boone think is the most important at first? A. Having good opportunities. B. Wearing united uniforms. C. Perfect performance. D. Teamwork. 27. What does paragraph 3 mainly discuss? A. The outcome of obsession with perfection. B. The wrong standards set by athletes’ parents. C. The relationship pressure for teenagers in families. D. The common emotional problems faced by athletes. 28. What does Lynch want to show by giving examples in paragraph 4? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Most athletes do not set high goals. C. Great athletes also make mistakes. D. Winning is difficult for many athletes. 29. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To present a film. B. To teach an attitude to life. C. To introduce a psychologist. D. To give coaches suggestions. 【答案】26. D 27. A 28. B 29. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。本文通过一个电影来引出作者的中心论点人并不可能完美，以及论述了想要追求完美的心态会让运动员陷入压力，我们并不需要达到完美而是尽可能地做到最好，要有良好的心态面对生活。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段最后一句“but by working together, they can be unbeatable (但是通过一起努力，他们是无法被击败的)”可知，Herman Boone认为团队工作最重要。故选D。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Parents play a huge role in this problem because they believe, usually unconsciously (下意识地) or unintentionally, that they are better parents if their kids are perfect. (父母在这个问题上扮演了很大的角色，因为他们通常无意识地或无意地相信，如果他们的孩子完美，他们就是更好的父母。)”以及“Over time, these pressures lead to parents unintentionally refusing to give their love over poor performances, which harms their family relationship.” (随着时间的流逝，这种压力会让父母无意识地拒绝给糟糕的表现以爱的鼓励。)”可知，本段讲述的是迷恋完美带来的结果。故选A。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Lynch notes, “Professional baseball hitters are considered great if they get a hit a third of the time. Professional basketball players are considered excellent if they make half of their shots from three-point range. If soccer players, on average, make one goal for every five shots they attempt, they are celebrated. (林奇指出：“如果职业棒球击球手有三分之一的命中率，他们就会被认为是伟大的。职业篮球运动员如果有一半的投篮在三分范围内，就被认为是优秀的。如果足球运动员平均每五次射门进一球，他们就会受到庆祝。”)”可知，本段作者通过举例子来论述运动员应该做到自己的最好而不是盲目地去追求完美，厉害的运动员都不会给自己设定太高的目标，而是在达成小目标的时候庆祝自己的胜利，因为并不可能有永远不失败的运动员。可知，大多数运动员不去设定高的目标。故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“If soccer players, on average, make one goal for every five shots they attempt, they are celebrated. Those who are the best always mean to do their best, they strive to be the best they can be, and this puts them in a position for good things to happen… but not perfect things. (如果足球运动员平均每五次射门进一球，他们就会受到庆祝。那些最优秀的人总是尽力做到最好，他们努力成为最好的自己，这让他们处于一个让好事发生的位置，但不是完美的事情。)”以及全文可知，本文通过一个电影来引出作者的中心论点人并不可能完美，后面又论述了想要追求完美的心态会让运动员陷入压力，最后举了职业运动员的例子来说明我们并不需要达到完美而是尽可能地做到最好，要有良好的心态面对生活。可知文章主要教我们一种生活态度。故选B。 第Ⅱ节：(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In recent years, research has confirmed that providing students with meaningful feedback can greatly improve their learning and achievement. ____30____ It can even be counterproductive (适得其反的), especially if it’s presented in an only negative or corrective way. To some degree, it is easier for the teacher and the student to receive a simple grade on an assignment (作业). ____31____ It tells a student whether he has met the expectations of the assignment, and it creates a simple way for a teacher to assess a student’s work. However, once the grade is on the paper, it pretty much becomes the only thing that matters. ____32____ Whatever work might have been done on the test is outweighed by the overall low performance. ____33____ Many educational professors suggest a feedback-oriented (反馈导向的) learning system. In the classroom, this system can shift the focus of the students from their final grades to mastery of the material itself. Feedback is commentary on the student work, individualized to best consider the needs of each student, personally. A feedback-oriented learning system is something that every student can benefit from, whether it is offered verbally, or through the traditional written words. ____34____ Those students are typically not challenged as much as they should be. While they still may earn an “A”, it is helpful to know what they could be doing to improve their work even further — another learning challenge to engage, and push them forward. A. A grade is clear. B. Be as specific as possible. C. Even “A” students benefit. D. But not all feedback is equally effective. E. Less advantaged learners can also benefit. F. So how can we make students learn effectively from feedback? G. Students are hardly interested in hearing what they did well when they see a low grade. 【答案】30. D 31. A 32. G 33. F 34. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了有意义的反馈在学生学习和成就提升中的重要性，以及与单纯评分相比的优势。 【30题详解】 上文“In recent years, research has confirmed that providing students with meaningful feedback can greatly improve their learning and achievement.(近年来，研究证实，向学生提供有意义的反馈可以极大地提高他们的学习效果和成绩)”说明有意义的反馈可以提高学生的学习和成就，但并不是所有的反馈都是有效的，空格处承上启下，D项“But not all feedback is equally effective.”与上文一致，说明并不是所有的反馈都是有效的。故选D。 【31题详解】 上文“To some degree, it is easier for the teacher and the student to receive a simple grade on an assignment.(在某种程度上，教师和学生都更容易接受作业上的一个简单分数)”说明给作业打分对老师和学生来说更简单，空格处承接上文，A项“A grade is clear.”说明分数是明确的，与上文一致。故选A。 【32题详解】 上文“However, once the grade is on the paper, it pretty much becomes the only thing that matters.(然而，一旦分数写在了纸上，它几乎就成了唯一重要的事情)”，说明一旦分数写在纸上，它几乎就成了唯一重要的东西，空格处承接上文。G项“Students are hardly interested in hearing what they did well when they see a low grade.”说明学生在看到低分时几乎不关心他们做得好的地方，与上文一致，符合语境。故选G。 【33题详解】 下文“Many educational professors suggest a feedback-oriented (反馈导向的) learning system.(许多教育学教授建议采用一种反馈导向的学习系统)”说明许多教育学教授建议采用反馈导向的学习系统，空格处承接上文，F项“So how can we make students learn effectively from feedback?”说明如何让学生有效地从反馈中学习，与上文一致，符合语境。故选F。 【34题详解】 上文“A feedback-oriented learning system is something that every student can benefit from, whether it is offered verbally, or through the traditional written words.(反馈导向的学习系统是每位学生都能从中受益的，无论是通过口头还是传统的书面形式提供)”说明反馈导向的学习系统对每个学生都有好处，空格处承接上文，C项“Even “A” students benefit.”说明即使是“A”学生也能受益，与上文一致，符合语境。故选C。 第Ⅱ卷(共52分) Ⅳ. 语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分，共15分) A 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。 People from southern China normally buy ____35____ they need for just one or two meals at a time. It is normal for them to buy just half a Chinese cabbage, two ____36____ (potato) and 25 grams of beef at a time. However, a person may be laughed at if they do this in the north. The difference could be because of the different climates. Food can ____37____ (keep) for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. But southern Chinese people prefer to buy just enough food for one meal or one day due to the hot and wet weather in the south. 【答案】35. what 36. potatoes 37. be kept 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了南北方买菜的差异。 【35题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：来自中国南方的人通常一次只买一两顿饭所需的东西。此处引导宾语从句，从句中缺少need的宾语，且意为“东西”，应用what引导宾语从句，故填what。 【36题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：他们一次只买半个大白菜，两个土豆和25克牛肉都是很正常的。此处potato“土豆”为可数名词，且根据空前的two可知，此处应用名词的复数形式，作宾语，故填potatoes。 【37题详解】 考查动词语态。句意：食物在北方可以保存很长时间，因为那里通常又冷又干。此处作谓语动词，主语为food，与keep之间为被动关系，且根据空前的情态动词can可知，此处be动词用原形。故填be kept。 B 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。 The last time Yunnan caught our national attention was when some Asian elephants left their home and were guided by some experts to return to their original habitat safely without ____38____ (harm) any human. Asian elephants in China, mostly found in Yunnan, are under the ____39____ (high) level of state protection. Today, the wild elephant population in Yunnan ____40____ (grow) to about 300, up from 193 in the 1980s. The province has established 11 national or regional-level nature reserves for these mammals. 【答案】38. harming 39. highest 40. has grown 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了云南省对野象的保护，使野象的数量得到了大大的增加。 【38题详解】 考查动名词。句意：云南上一次引起全国关注是在一些亚洲象离开家园，在一些专家的指导下，在没有伤害任何人类的情况下，安全地返回其原始栖息地的时候。此处without为介词，故应用动名词作宾语，故填harming。 【39题详解】 考查形容词的最高级。句意：中国的亚洲象主要分布在云南，受到国家最高级别的保护。根据句意和空前的定冠词the可知，定冠词the修饰形容词的最高级，故此处应用形容词的最高级作定语，修饰名词level，故填highest。 【40题详解】 考查时态。句意：如今，云南的野生大象数量已经从20世纪80年代的193头增加到约300头。此处作谓语动词，主语为the wild elephant population，为单数，此处意为“已经从193头增加到了约300头”，结合时间状语 Today，故应用现在完成时表示结果，故填has grown。 C 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。 In 2016, I unpacked my luggage at a new hotel only to realize that I ____41____ (forget) my toothpaste.

I cautiously pushed the button and the lid opened, ____43____(reveal) a toothpaste tube. The digital display flashed “Thank you”. The robotic visitor then turned around and rolled away. Before it disappeared, I took a photo, sending it to a friend, ____44____ later responded, “Wow, so cool!” 【答案】41. had forgotten 42. opened 43. revealing 44. who 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者在酒店，机器人给他送货的经历。 【41题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：我在一个新的宾馆打开行李箱，意识到我忘记了带牙膏。根据句意可知，“忘记”这一动作发生在realized之前，表示过去的过去，应用过去完成时。故填had forgotten。 【42题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：两分钟后，我打开门，发现一个物体像垃圾桶一样，带有轮子、盖子、一个大的按钮和一个小的电子屏幕。此处作谓语动词，主语为I，根据时间状语“In 2016”可知，全文都在描述2016年发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故填opened。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：我小心地按下按钮，盖子打开了，露出一个牙膏管。此处作状语，reveal与其逻辑主语the lid之间为主动关系，应用现在分词。故填revealing。 【44题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：在它消失之前，我拍了一张照片，发送给一个朋友，他后来回复说：“哇，太酷了！”此处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为a friend，指人，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词who引导。故填who。 Ⅴ. 选词填空(共9小题;每小题1分，共9分) 用方块中所给词或词组的适当形式填空。 constant be grateful to appreciate associate with practice determine have access to effective passion 45.

When Renee Butts was little, her dream was to become a volunteer firefighter because her father was one. Sadly, when she was 14, her beloved father passed away and she was unable to do volunteer work with him. However, she was determined and never gave up, which makes for a good firefighter. Now Renee is a member of the Carmel Fire Department, where she is required to be an Emergency Medical Technician. She should also be ready to deal with any emergency, like fighting a fire, dealing with a car accident or helping someone who is sick. Sometimes she is in the driver’s seat or using the water pump. Renee works nine to eleven days a month on 24-hour shifts. She also has a family to care for, as her husband is also a busy firefighter. Dealing with housework and working so much can show her great determination. When I asked Renee what the best part of her job is, she replied, “Helping people and the satisfaction of saving lives.” I think that shows signs of being a true hero. She is always willing to do anything for anyone in need. Renee says that her job is frightening at times, but extremely exciting. “The worst part of my job is that I see death. Actually, sometimes, people die in the accident, for which I was very sorry,” said Renee. I was inspired by this because I know I would be very scared to do her job and do not know if I could handle seeing people die. With 140 people in her station, Renee is one of the only three women, but that does not bother her. She says everyone gets a fair shot and they all do the same jobs. We would never live without people like her who have the courage to risk their lives. Renee’s determination rubs off on me and helps me believe that I can do anything. 54.

(现在蕾妮是卡梅尔消防局的一员，在那里她被要求成为一名紧急医疗技术员。)”可知，在消防局，蕾妮的职位是一名紧急医疗技术员。故答案为An Emergency Medical Technician. 【55题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“Dealing with housework and working so much can show her great determination. (做家务和工作可以显示她的决心。)”可知，是她无比坚定的信心使得她能够很好的处理好工和家庭生活。故答案为Her determination。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段“When I asked Renee what the best part of her job is, she replied, “Helping people and the satisfaction of saving lives.” I think that shows signs of being a true hero.

Actually, sometimes, people die in the accident, for which I was very sorry,” said Renee. (当我问蕾妮她工作中最棒的部分是什么时，她回答说：“帮助别人和拯救生命的满足感。”我认为这是一个真正英雄的表现。她总是愿意为任何需要帮助的人做任何事。蕾妮说她的工作有时很吓人，但也非常令人兴奋。“我工作中最糟糕的部分是我能看到死亡。事实上，有时人们会在事故中丧生，对此我感到非常抱歉。”)”以及倒数第二段“I was inspired by this because I know I would be very scared to do her job and do not know if I could handle seeing people die. (我受到了鼓舞，因为我知道我会非常害怕做她的工作，也不知道我是否能忍受看到人们死去。)”可知，Renee是一个真正的英雄，把帮助他人为己任，同时她也很勇敢，敢于直面危险和死亡。故答案为Hero.

When writing a review, concentrate on exactly what you liked or didn't like. Give examples of strengths and weaknesses, be descriptive and provide background information on an author, director, actor or musician, if possible. Find professional reviews in magazines or newspapers and see how reviewers deal with their topics, but be sure to express your own voice in your review. Grammar Hint for Reviews：When describing a book movie, album or anything else, use the present tense. Book Reviews Discuss an author's technique, strengths and weaknesses instead of focusing on the plot. Does the story flow？ Is there a strong sense of character and place？Did you stay up until dawn to finish it？Is it good reading for teenagers？What influence did it have on you and why？If you've read other books by the same author, discuss how this book compares. Movie Reviews Think of the major Oscar categories and consider the performances, music, lighting and setting, etc. Do these work together？ Did some hold up while others didn't？ If the movie is based on a book, discuss whether one is better than the other and why. If the movie is a remake, compare the film to its original. Remember that a well­written movie review should discuss strengths and weaknesses. Some readers may not have seen a movie yet, so don't give away an exciting scene or the ending！ College Reviews Begin by providing an overview of the college, including location, size and a description of the campus and/or dorm life. Think about all aspects of your college visit.

B Five days a week, 28-year-old Ebony Smith arrives at Changing Gears Bike Shop at 10:50 a.m., ten minutes before opening. Walking into the shop, she turns on the lights, opens the register, and reviews the repair orders. For the next several hours she will repair bikes with professional skill and care, and guide customers through bike choices like an experienced rider, learning about their needs and preferences, and helping them to find the perfect fit. Although Smith had almost no experience riding a bike and didn’t even enjoy riding one when she first came to Changing Gears, she has stayed in the position for nearly a decade now, and her customers are thankful to her heartfelt assistance. What’s more, many of the shop visitors are youth from families living in low-income housing named Alameda Point. Smith lived in this neighborhood throughout her childhood, and to these youngsters and families she is a positive role model-someone determined to succeed in spite of educational and financial struggles. When she first began at Changing Gears at 19 years old, Smith was living with her parents, who struggled to make a living. She had failed to earn a high school diploma when she didn’t pass California’s high school exit exam. However, when a three-month job training position opened at the bike shop in 2008, Smith took a chance to, as she says, “turn her life around”. She signed up and was quickly hired. Smith is just one of the thousands of Changing Gears’ employees around the world, and her continued success at Changing Gears embodies the shop’s duty to “operate a bicycle-based social enterprise that meets the needs of the underprivileged of our local area”. In addition, the shop has a strong environmental focus, which includes bicycle reuse and recycling. Throughout the years Changing Gears has also engaged youth and families in bicycle field trips and provided free bicycle parking and repair service at local farmers’ markets in order to encourage bike riding as a practical and green form of transportation. Through its blending（协调）of effective small business practices with a social and environmental duty, Changing Gears stays inspired to use bicycles as a vehicle for social change. 18.

The study also found that people who are online most frequently are three times more likely to feel social isolation (孤立) than those who are online less than nine times a week. And it isn’t just young adults affected by the social media-loneliness problem. It can be adults, feeling unable to discover new ways to find friendships offline. My patient Janette was painfully shy. At first, she saw social media as a way to experience involvement in people’s lives since she found it difficult to make friends in face-to-face situations. Several months later, her social-media-use increased to over 60 hours a week. “At first, I felt this was really helping me feel less lonely, but after a while the more time I spent scrolling the more depressed and rejected I felt. A part of me knew Facebook friends were not really rejecting me when they posted photos of parties they had not invited me to because we had never met or knew one another only informally. But I just felt worse and worse.” I gave Janette my advice. She first put her phone down and volunteered for a local environmental group which allowed her to meet like-minded people. It can be easy to conflate (混为一谈) being “social” with going to parties and get-togethers, or hanging out at music shows, but those activities aren’t the only way to make friends. Having things in common makes it easier to find things to chat about, especially when you are shy. So Janette explored her other outside interests: hiking and a Sunday movie-going group. With real friends in real life, Janette felt better. Janette started small: signing off for 24 hours, then when she logged back in, she gave herself specific goals — checking the updates of 3 to 4 people she really knew. She wasn’t ready to deactivate (停用) her Facebook profile, but she did leave the many private groups she had joined. She also downloaded software to block websites she could not reject on her own. Janette is better now and people like Janette can overcome their problems as well. 22. What does the 2017 study show? A. Heavy use of social media may cause mental health problems. B. Older people are unsatisfied with their online experiences. C. Two hours a day is the suggested amount of online time. D. Young adults may suffer more from online loneliness. 23. What happened to Janette after she was addicted to social media? A. She couldn’t deal with face-to-face conversations. B. She became less associated with people. C. She was rejected to parties too often. D. She couldn’t make friends online. 24. What was the author’s advice to Janette? A. To post photos of parties she joined. B. To chat more with her online friends. C. To become engaged in the real world. D. To record the valued moments of her life. 25. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. How Janette set her specific goals. B. How Janette joined private groups. C. How Janette made new offline friends. D. How Janette broke her social media habit. D The film, Remember the Titans, tells an inspiring story of a sports team achieving the highest level of accomplishment against great challenges. The team’s coach Herman Boone pushes the players farther than they could have imagined. On the first day of practice, he says, “When you put that uniform on, you’d better come to work. We will be perfect in every aspect of the game.” Over the course of the season, the coach and the team come to understand they are not perfect, but by working together, they can be unbeatable. Yet, when it comes specifically to the importance of the pursuit (追求) of perfection mentioned early in the movie, renowned sport psychologist Dr. Jerry Lynch has a different view: “Having such an unachievable goal positions young athletes perfectly for failure. Yet, they keep measuring their self-worth as athletes and people by outcomes and results, by winning and losing, and by achievements and failures. Parents play a huge role in this problem because they believe, usually unconsciously (下意识地) or unintentionally, that they are better parents if their kids are perfect. As a result, I often find myself working with kids who are terribly disappointed in themselves or often angry about not measuring up. Over time, these pressures lead to parents unintentionally refusing to give their love over poor performances, which harms their family relationship.” Lynch encourages parents to remind children that there are only two kinds of athletes: those who fail and those who will fail. Lynch notes, “Professional baseball hitters are considered great if they get a hit a third of the time. Professional basketball players are considered excellent if they make half of their shots from three-point range. If soccer players, on average, make one goal for every five shots they attempt, they are celebrated. Those who are the best always mean to do their best, they strive to be the best they can be, and this puts them in a position for good things to happen… but not perfect things.” 26. What does Herman Boone think is the most important at first? A. Having good opportunities. B. Wearing united uniforms. C. Perfect performance. D. Teamwork. 27. What does paragraph 3 mainly discuss? A. The outcome of obsession with perfection. B. The wrong standards set by athletes’ parents. C. The relationship pressure for teenagers in families. D. The common emotional problems faced by athletes. 28. What does Lynch want to show by giving examples in paragraph 4? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Most athletes do not set high goals. C. Great athletes also make mistakes. D. Winning is difficult for many athletes. 29. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To present a film. B. To teach an attitude to life. C. To introduce a psychologist. D. To give coaches suggestions. 第Ⅱ节：(共5小题;每小题2分，共10分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In recent years, research has confirmed that providing students with meaningful feedback can greatly improve their learning and achievement. ____30____ It can even be counterproductive (适得其反的), especially if it’s presented in an only negative or corrective way. To some degree, it is easier for the teacher and the student to receive a simple grade on an assignment (作业). ____31____ It tells a student whether he has met the expectations of the assignment, and it creates a simple way for a teacher to assess a student’s work. However, once the grade is on the paper, it pretty much becomes the only thing that matters. ____32____ Whatever work might have been done on the test is outweighed by the overall low performance. ____33____ Many educational professors suggest a feedback-oriented (反馈导向) learning system. In the classroom, this system can shift the focus of the students from their final grades to mastery of the material itself. Feedback is commentary on the student work, individualized to best consider the needs of each student, personally. A feedback-oriented learning system is something that every student can benefit from, whether it is offered verbally, or through the traditional written words. ____34____ Those students are typically not challenged as much as they should be. While they still may earn an “A”, it is helpful to know what they could be doing to improve their work even further — another learning challenge to engage, and push them forward. A. A grade is clear. B. Be as specific as possible. C. Even “A” students benefit. D. But not all feedback is equally effective. E. Less advantaged learners can also benefit. F. So how can we make students learn effectively from feedback? G. Students are hardly interested in hearing what they did well when they see a low grade. 第Ⅱ卷(共52分) Ⅳ. 语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分，共15分) A 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。 People from southern China normally buy ____35____ they need for just one or two meals at a time.

When Renee Butts was little, her dream was to become a volunteer firefighter because her father was one. Sadly, when she was 14, her beloved father passed away and she was unable to do volunteer work with him. However, she was determined and never gave up, which makes for a good firefighter. Now Renee is a member of the Carmel Fire Department, where she is required to be an Emergency Medical Technician. She should also be ready to deal with any emergency, like fighting a fire, dealing with a car accident or helping someone who is sick. Sometimes she is in the driver’s seat or using the water pump. Renee works nine to eleven days a month on 24-hour shifts. She also has a family to care for, as her husband is also a busy firefighter. Dealing with housework and working so much can show her great determination. When I asked Renee what the best part of her job is, she replied, “Helping people and the satisfaction of saving lives.” I think that shows signs of being a true hero. She is always willing to do anything for anyone in need. Renee says that her job is frightening at times, but extremely exciting. “The worst part of my job is that I see death. Actually, sometimes, people die in the accident, for which I was very sorry,” said Renee. I was inspired by this because I know I would be very scared to do her job and do not know if I could handle seeing people die. With 140 people in her station, Renee is one of the only three women, but that does not bother her. She says everyone gets a fair shot and they all do the same jobs. We would never live without people like her who have the courage to risk their lives. Renee’s determination rubs off on me and helps me believe that I can do anything. 54.
