A. helpful; solving B. help; solving C. helpful; solve D. help; to solve 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：当你在解决问题时遇到困难时，向别人寻求建议可能会对你有所帮助。 考查名词用法和非谓语动词。helpful有帮助的，形容词；solving解决，为solve的动名词或现在分词形式；help帮助，名词或动词；solve解决，动词；to solve为动词不定式。根据“Asking someone for advice may be of some…to you”可知，此处指向别人寻求建议可能会对你有所帮助，be of some help to sb.“对某人有某些帮助”，固定搭配；根据“you are having difficulty…your problems”可知，have difficulty (in) doing sth.“做某事有困难”，动词短语，此处应用solving。故选B。 22. —As teenagers, we should ________ the people like scientists and engineers who make great achievements for China. —That’s true. They are the real heroes.

The film No more bets is a big success and wins high ________ from the public. A. prize B. pride C. praise D. progress 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：《无间道》这部电影取得了巨大的成功，并获得了公众的高度赞扬。 考查名词辨析。prize奖品；pride骄傲；praise赞美；progress进步。根据空前“The film No more bets is a big success and wins high”可知，这里指的是这部电影取的巨大成功，并获得高度赞扬，win high praise意为“赢得高度赞扬”，故选C。 27. —Mary, why are you so tired? —Sorry, Miss Li. I ________ late last night. A. woke up B. gave up C. stayed up D. cheered up 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——玛丽，为什么你这么累？——对不起，李老师。我昨晚熬夜了。 考查动词短语。woke up醒来；gave up放弃；stayed up熬夜；cheered up振作。根据“why are you so tired?”可知，很累是因为昨晚熬夜了。故选C。 28.

A. that the museum closes today B. if the museum closes today C. when the museum closes every day D. when does the museum close every day 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你能告诉我博物馆每天什么时候关门吗？——它通常每天晚上8点关门。 考查宾语从句引导词及语序。根据“It usually closes at 20: 00 every day.”可知，询问的是时间，因此此处应用when引导宾语从句，宾语从句应用陈述语序，故选C。 30. —Thanks for encouraging me to keep trying at that hard time. —________. That’s what friends are for. A. Don’t mention it B. With pleasure C. Never mind D. Take it easy 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——感谢你鼓励我在那个艰难的时刻继续努力。——别客气，这就是朋友的意义所在。 考查情景交际。Don’t mention it别客气；With pleasure乐意效劳；Never mind没关系；Take it easy别紧张。根据“Thanks for encouraging me to keep trying at that hard time.”可知，对对方的感谢应回答“别客气”。故选A。 三、完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） John used to have difficulties in school.

But do you know small drones (无人机) can help carry packages to your home? For two years, Google has been working hard in their secret research lab. Their latest project is called Project Wing. Project Wing is Google’s invention of a drone delivery service. It is half plane and half helicopter and is slightly bigger than a seagull. It can deliver packages to buyers by drone to door. The first drone test was made on a farm in Warwick, Australia. It sent sweets and dog treats to a farmer. The drone flew to the farm, hovered (盘旋), and dropped the package with a wire. Delivery is here! The best thing about drone delivery services is that delivery time will be greatly cut down. You’ll be able to order what you like online in the morning. And by noontime, the delivery drone will land your package. Throughout history, there have been different kinds of inventions that have helped people move things around, said Astro Teller, lead scientist of Google Wing, to CNN. Teller thinks Google drones will be the next big step. Interestingly, drones are not that young. The US has been using armed drones since 2002. But drones may also get another use. Film companies have asked to use drones to shoot videos from the sky. Yet Google’s delivery drones won’t be able to fly to buyers any time soon. However, Google has proved that drone delivery is possible. And with Amazon announcing their drone delivery service last year, the further research is going on to make delivery drones safe and suitable for buyers. 49. What is Project Wing? A. Armed drones. B. Google’s invention. C. New apple APP. D. Wings to help people fly. 50 What’s the usage of the drone in Project Wing according to the passage? A. Taking photos. B. Delivering packages. C. Ordering online. D. Hovering in the sky. 51. What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word deliver? A. 拍摄 B. 包装 C. 投递 D. 发表 52. from the text we know that ________. A. The first drone test was made in a company in Australia B. You can order things online and get them by drone quickly C. Astro Teller thinks Google will have another big step about delivery D. Film companies can’t use drones to shoot videos 【答案】49. B 50. B 51. C 52. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了谷歌的无人机快递服务。美国谷歌公司公 布了已悄然实施了两年的送货无人机研发项目。谷歌表示希望在几年内推出小型无人机快递服务。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Project Wing is Google’s invention of a drone delivery service.”可知，这里指无人机是谷歌的一个发明。故选B。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It can deliver (投递) packages to buyers by drone to door.” 可知，无人机可以为顾客投递邮包。故选B。 【51题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“It’s common to carry things on bikes... packages to buyers by drone to door.”可知，这项服务是为了投递包裹。故选C。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据“You’ll be able to order what you like online in the morning. And by noontime, the delivery drone will land your package.”可知，可以从网上下单，且很快可以收到货物。故选B。 C Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out (结果是). Sir John Gurdon is a good example of this. As a boy, he was told he was hopeless in science and finished bottom of his class. However, aged 79, the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell (干细胞) researcher Shinya Yamanaka. Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance (坚持不懈) can lead. At the age of 15 in 1948, Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in Biology and every other science subject. Gurdon’s high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was quite ridiculous. In spite of his teacher’s criticism, Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab earlier and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures. “My own belief is that we will, in the end, understand everything about how cells actually work,” said Gurdon. In 1962, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic (基因的) information into an egg cell. The egg cell grew into a clone (克隆) of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create the sheep Dolly in 1996, the first cloned mammal (哺乳动物) in the world. In 2006, Gurdon’s work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample of a person’s skin can be used to create stem cells. Using this technique, doctors can repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack. “Luck favors the prepared mind,” Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. “Ninety percent of the time things don’t work, but when they do, you have to seize (抓住) the chance.” 53. Who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine? A. Sir John Gurdon B. Shinya Yamanaka C. Sir John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka D. Gurdon’s science teacher 54. What does the underlined word “ridiculous” mean in Chinese? A. 无知的 B. 荒谬的 C. 荒废的 D. 无畏的 55. In what order are the followings mentioned in the passage? a. create the sheep Dolly b. take a cell from an adult frog c. use a person’s skin to create stem cells d. move a frog’s genetic information into an egg cell e. grow into a clone of a frog A. b-a-c-d-e B. b-d-e-a-c C. b-d-a-c-e D. b-e-d-a-c 56. What’s the main idea of this passage? A. Ninety percent of the time things don’t work. B. Luck favors the prepared mind. C. Life is full of surprises. D. How cells actually work. 【答案】53. C 54. B 55. B 56. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Gurdon通过自身努力，以勤补拙，最终实现梦想。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据“the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell (干细胞) researcher Shinya Yamanaka.”可知79岁的Gurdon与日本干细胞研究员Shinya Yamanaka共同获得了2012年诺贝尔医学奖。故选C。 【54题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in Biology and every other science subject. Gurdon’s high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was quite ridiculous.”可知15岁的Gurdon在他高中的250名男生中，在生物学和其他所有科学科目中排名最后，所以老师认为他成为科学家的梦想非常荒谬，故此处划线部分意为“荒谬的”。故选B。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic (基因的) information into an egg cell. The egg cell grew into a clone (克隆) of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create the sheep Dolly in 1996, the first cloned mammal (哺乳动物) in the world.”可知Gurdon从成年青蛙身上提取了一个细胞，并将其遗传信息转移到卵细胞中，卵细胞长成成年青蛙的克隆体，这项技术后来在1996年帮助创造了绵羊多莉；根据“In 2006, Gurdon’s work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample of a person’s skin can be used to create stem cells”可知2006年，2006年，Shinya Yamanaka对Gurdon的工作进行了进一步的研究，证明人体皮肤样本可以用来制造干细胞。故正确顺序是b-d-e-a-c。故选B。 【56题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“‘Luck favors the prepared mind,’ ”以及文章内容可知，本文主要讲述了Gurdon通过自身努力，以勤补拙，最终实现梦想，所以“Luck favors the prepared mind.”就是Gurdon在获奖时，对自己一生努力的总结。故选B。 D Unluckily, the Nautilus (鹦鹉螺号) hit a reef and stopped. It was not damaged, but it was stuck. Captain (船长) Nemo, however, was not worried. He looked at his charts. “In four days, there will be a high tide that will lift the Nautilus off the reef.” he told me. “We will wait for it.” Ned wanted to go onto the island and catch some animals to eat. To our surprise, Captain Nemo agreed to put us on land for a short time. We were allowed to use the dinghy (小艇). Captain Nemo did not come with us. We went alone, Ned was very excited. “We are going to eat meat!” he said. Half an hour of rowing brought us to the island. It was wonderful to walk on land again. Ned found some coconuts and drank the milk at once. Then we walked into the forest and found some breadfruit trees. Ned cooked some of the breadfruit, which tasted just like real bread. We found fruits like bananas and mangoes. Ned still wanted some meat, but it was time to go back to the Nautilus. We brought the food that we had found back with us. We returned to the island the next day and hunted birds, Ned shot two pigeons, a wild pig and several smaller animals like rabbits. We sat near the boat to cook and eat them, but we were suddenly attacked by about 100 savages (野蛮人). They followed us into the water as we rowed away. But They could not catch us. Back on the Nautilus, I found Captain Nemo who was playing the piano and told him about the savages. “You should not be surprised that there are savages on land. Dr, Aronmax,” he said. “They may try to come onto the Nautilus,” I said “We have nothing to fear,” he replied. He turned back to his piano. I went back outside. It was dark and I could see fires on the beach. The savages were still there. 57. What did Captain Nemo say would help lift the Nautilus? A. More fish B. Low tide C. New land D. High tide 58. How did they feel when Captain Nemo agreed to put them on land? A. Serious B. Happy C. Surprised D. Nervous 59. What did Captain Nemo tell Dr Aronmax about the savages? A. He should attack the savages. B. He should killed the savages. C. He should worry about the savages coming into the Nautilus. D. He shouldn’t feel surprised and scared to find savages on land. 60. Can you infer the reason why the savages were still there? A. They wanted to kill us for our food. B. They wanted to kill us as their food. C. They wanted to come onto the Nautilus. D. They thought the island was their homeland. 【答案】57. D 58. C 59. D 60.

You may find this reading in a(n) ________. A. sports report B. story book C. science magazine D. advertisement poster B It’s common to carry things on bikes, trains and even planes. But do you know small drones (无人机) can help carry packages to your home? For two years, Google has been working hard in their secret research lab. Their latest project is called Project Wing. Project Wing is Google’s invention of a drone delivery service. It is half plane and half helicopter and is slightly bigger than a seagull. It can deliver packages to buyers by drone to door. The first drone test was made on a farm in Warwick, Australia. It sent sweets and dog treats to a farmer. The drone flew to the farm, hovered (盘旋), and dropped the package with a wire. Delivery is here! The best thing about drone delivery services is that delivery time will be greatly cut down. You’ll be able to order what you like online in the morning. And by noontime, the delivery drone will land your package. Throughout history, there have been different kinds of inventions that have helped people move things around, said Astro Teller, lead scientist of Google Wing, to CNN. Teller thinks Google drones will be the next big step. Interestingly, drones are not that young. The US has been using armed drones since 2002. But drones may also get another use. Film companies have asked to use drones to shoot videos from the sky. Yet Google’s delivery drones won’t be able to fly to buyers any time soon. However Google has proved that drone delivery is possible. And with Amazon announcing their drone delivery service last year, the further research is going on to make delivery drones safe and suitable for buyers. 49. What is Project Wing? A. Armed drones. B. Google’s invention. C. New apple APP. D. Wings to help people fly. 50. What’s the usage of the drone in Project Wing according to the passage? A. Taking photos. B. Delivering packages. C. Ordering online. D. Hovering in the sky. 51. What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word deliver? A. 拍摄 B. 包装 C. 投递 D. 发表 52. from the text we know that ________. A. The first drone test was made in a company in Australia B. You can order things online and get them by drone quickly C. Astro Teller thinks Google will have another big step about delivery D. Film companies can’t use drones to shoot videos C Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out (结果是). Sir John Gurdon is a good example of this. As a boy, he was told he was hopeless in science and finished bottom of his class. However, aged 79, the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell (干细胞) researcher Shinya Yamanaka. Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance (坚持不懈) can lead. At the age of 15 in 1948, Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in Biology and every other science subject. Gurdon’s high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was quite ridiculous. In spite of his teacher’s criticism, Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab earlier and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures. “My own belief is that we will, in the end, understand everything about how cells actually work,” said Gurdon. In 1962, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic (基因的) information into an egg cell. The egg cell grew into a clone (克隆) of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create the sheep Dolly in 1996, the first cloned mammal (哺乳动物) in the world. In 2006, Gurdon’s work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample of a person’s skin can be used to create stem cells. Using this technique, doctors can repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack. “Luck favors the prepared mind,” Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. “Ninety percent of the time things don’t work, but when they do, you have to seize (抓住) the chance.” 53.

D Unluckily, the Nautilus (鹦鹉螺号) hit a reef and stopped. It was not damaged, but it was stuck. Captain (船长) Nemo, however, was not worried. He looked at his charts. “In four days, there will be a high tide that will lift the Nautilus off the reef.” he told me. “We will wait for it.” Ned wanted to go onto the island and catch some animals to eat. To our surprise, Captain Nemo agreed to put us on land for a short time. We were allowed to use the dinghy (小艇). Captain Nemo did not come with us. We went alone, Ned was very excited. “We are going to eat meat!” he said. Half an hour of rowing brought us to the island. It was wonderful to walk on land again. Ned found some coconuts and drank the milk at once. Then we walked into the forest and found some breadfruit trees. Ned cooked some of the breadfruit, which tasted just like real bread. We found fruits like bananas and mangoes. Ned still wanted some meat, but it was time to go back to the Nautilus. We brought the food that we had found back with us. We returned to the island the next day and hunted birds, Ned shot two pigeons, a wild pig and several smaller animals like rabbits. We sat near the boat to cook and eat them, but we were suddenly attacked by about 100 savages (野蛮人). They followed us into the water as we rowed away. But They could not catch us. Back on the Nautilus, I found Captain Nemo who was playing the piano and told him about the savages. “You should not be surprised that there are savages on land. Dr, Aronmax,” he said. “They may try to come onto the Nautilus,” I said “We have nothing to fear,” he replied. He turned back to his piano. I went back outside. It was dark, and I could see fires on the beach. The savages were still there. 57. What did Captain Nemo say would help lift the Nautilus? A. More fish B. Low tide C. New land D. High tide 58.
