A. just; just B. just now; just now C. just; just now D. just now; just 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：我同学卢卡斯刚刚参观了新的艺术博物馆。他刚才去参观了。 考查副词辨析。just刚刚，常用于现在完成时，一般放在助动词和情态动词之后，行为动词之前；just now刚才，通常用于一般过去时。第一空所在句子为现在完成时，且has为助动词，所以第一空应填just；visited为行为动词的过去式，所以第二空应填just now。故选C。 3.

A. have been; returned to B. is; returned to C. is; returned D. has been; returned 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：这位奥运冠军已经多年没有回过家乡了。 考查动词时态和短语。return作及物动词时表示“归还”，作不及物动词时表示“返回”，return to返回（某地）。“It is+一段时间+since从句”是固定结构，因此第一空应填is，第二个空需用一般过去时，用动词returned to。故选B。 6. —How long has your uncle ________ your aunt? —Over ten years. A. married with B. married to C. got married with D. been married to 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你叔叔和你阿姨结婚多久了？——超过十年了。 考查动词短语辨析。married with错误搭配；married to错误结构，正确的是be/get married to；got married with错误搭配；been married to表示持续的状态，用于现在完成时。根据“How long has your uncle...your aunt?”可知，这里需要表示持续的状态，且使用现在完成时，故选D。 7.

We can learn a lot. Popa (my grandpa) told me that his great aunt, Mary Whitmore, was the first female Mayor of Ipswich, which was exciting to know.” What should I ask questions about? Do the relatives and older people you speak to remember when the astronaut Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon in 1969? Any interviewing tips? When talking to people about the history they have lived through, try to ask interesting questions, and listen carefully to their answers. Write notes and questions down before you chat so that you will remember what to say. Oral History Do you talk to older people about what life was like when they were young? Perhaps you enjoy finding out what big events, such as the Second World War, were actually like for the people who lived through them? Oral history means listening to these stories and asking questions of the people who remember them. It is a good idea to make recordings of oral history conversations so that they can be kept and listened to in the future. This can be done with a sound recording device or an app on a smartphone. As well as historical events that affect (影响) a whole country, local events are also important. Examples could include flooding, the construction (建造) of new buildings, or a person making a big change or having strong influence on a particular area. Neal Foster, who creates the popular Horrible Histories Live stage shows, thinks oral history is vital. “Nothing competes with hearing history from people who went through the experience. What makes history fascinating is hearing the same event recalled by different people. That knowledge is priceless,” he says. 21. The text above is written to ________. A. provide information B. show an opinion C. describe details D. explain a fact 22. Sophia likes talking to older relatives about ________. A. what was exciting to know B. what their families did C. what happened at their times D. what they did during World War 23. Before interviewing someone, we should ________. A. collect information B. listen carefully C. make recordings D. prepare questions 24. People make recordings of oral history to ________. A. influence others B. make a big change C. pass down stories D. create something new 25. Which word is closest in meaning to the underlined word “vital” in the text? A. Enjoyable. B. Important. C. Helpless. D. Expensive. 【答案】21. A 22. C 23. D 24. C 25. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要由Sophia谈论是否喜欢与亲戚聊天引出了本文的主题，介绍了与亲戚聊什么，这些信息如何获取等等。 【21题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要由Sophia谈论是否喜欢与亲戚聊天引出了本文的主题，介绍了与亲戚聊什么，这些信息如何获取等等，所以文章的目的是提供信息。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Name: Sophia…I like talking to older relatives about what happened when they were younger and the times they lived through.”可知，Sophia喜欢和年长的亲戚谈论他们那个时代发生的事情。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Write notes and questions down before you chat so that you will remember what to say.”可知，采访前要先做好记录准备好问题。故选D。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It is a good idea to make recordings of oral history conversations so that they can be kept and listened to in the future.”可知，人们记录口述历史来传承故事。故选C。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“Nothing competes with hearing history from people who went through the experience. What makes history fascinating is hearing the same event recalled by different people. That knowledge is priceless,”可知，他认为这种历史是很重要的，所以划线单词与important同义。故选B。 Masa walked slowly towards the house, stopping now and then to cut off dead leaves. There were few weeds. Yuki had spent many hours of her two-week visit weeding in the garden. Masa wondered if Yuki had spent so much of her time outside just because she wanted to avoid (避免) talking to her. “But Yuki must have wanted very much to see us,” Masa told herself. She had visited in the last weeks of June, as soon as her college was out for the summer. She said she wanted to stay longer but couldn’t because she had to work. Besides, she needed to use the studio at her college for photography and she had to go to the library to read. “Why do you have to go to college to study art?” Masa asked her. “All the great artists didn’t go to college.” Yuki shook her head. “That was a different time. It’s hard to explain.” “I was thinking you could live with us all year round and still be an artist. This is a nice quiet place to live.” “I don’t know. How would I support myself here?” “You can always give lessons,” Masa said. “But I don’t want to spend along time looking at kids’ drawings.” “What will you do after you graduate, anyway? Will you become a teacher somewhere else then?” “Grandma, I don’tknow,” Yuki sighed. “What is the use of going to college if you don’t know what you’re going there for?” “Maybe I’m going because I don’t know. I just want to study art now. I don’t want to think that far ahead (提前).” The minute Masa was going to point out that this was too careless away to live, Yuki suddenly stood up and put on her straw hat. “I’m going to the garden to weed your flowerbed,” she said. “Let me know if there’s something else I can do.” On Yuki’s visit, Masa felt strained when they talked, and she was sure Yuki also felt it. But Yuki was never rude or irritable. Even when they disagreed, her face was always full of patience. 26. According to the passage, Yuki was ________. A. an artist B. a gardener C. an art teacher D. a college student 27. From the underlined sentence, we can infer that Yuki wanted to ________. A. weed the flowerbed B. end the conversation C. leave Masa’s garden D. take some photos 28. It can be learnt from the passage that ________. A. Yuki studied art because she wanted to be a teacher B. Masa wasn’t happy with Yuki’s work in the garden C. Masa and Yuki agreed on living together all year round D. Masa and Yuki had very different ideas about college 29. The underlined word “strained” in the last paragraph probably shows Masa felt something ________. A. uncomfortable B. unforgettable C. thankful D. hopeful 30. Which of the following can best describe Yuki? A. Shy but friendly. B. Hard-working and polite. C. Impatient but smart. D. Calm and confident. 【答案】26. D 27. B 28. D 29. A 30. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述Masa和孙女Yuki对于上大学的看法有很大不同，但Yuki并没有因为奶奶的话而生气，她总是很有耐心。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“She had visited in the last weeks of June, as soon as her college was out for the summer.”可知，Yuki一名大学生。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。上文讲Masa和Yuki对于上大学的看法有很大不同，结合“The minute Masa was going to point out that this was too careless away to live, Yuki suddenly stood up and put on her straw hat.”可知，Masa正要指出Yuki的生活方式太不仔细，而Yuki不愿继续谈下去才突然站起来戴上草帽，她是想终结对话。故选B。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五至十段中Masa和Yuki之间的对话可知，Masa不想Yuki去上大学，但Yuki想要去上大学，两人产生了争论，由此可推知，Masa和Yuki对大学有非常不同的看法。故选D。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“On Yuki’s visit, Masa felt strained when they talked, and she was sure Yuki also felt it.”以及上文可知，两人的对话出现了争议，Masa和Yuki的感觉一样是不好的，所以划线部分的含义是“紧张的；不自然的”，A项符合。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据“There were few weeds. Yuki had spent many hours of her two-week visit weeding in the garden.”可推知，Yuki是一个勤奋的人；根据“But Yuki was never rude or irritable. Even when they disagreed, her face was always full of patience.”可推知，Yuki是一个有礼貌的人。故选B。 三、信息还原（10%） When people have the flu, they may have a fever, a dry cough, a headache, pain in the body, a sore throat and a runny nose.

We can learn a lot. Popa (my grandpa) told me that his great aunt, Mary Whitmore, was the first female Mayor of Ipswich, which was exciting to know.” What should I ask questions about? Do the relatives and older people you speak to remember when the astronaut Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon in 1969? Any interviewing tips? When talking to people about the history they have lived through, try to ask interesting questions, and listen carefully to their answers. Write notes and questions down before you chat so that you will remember what to say. Oral History Do you talk to older people about what life was like when they were young? Perhaps you enjoy finding out what big events, such as the Second World War, were actually like for the people who lived through them? Oral history means listening to these stories and asking questions of the people who remember them. It is a good idea to make recordings of oral history conversations so that they can be kept and listened to in the future. This can be done with a sound recording device or an app on a smartphone. As well as historical events that affect (影响) a whole country, local events are also important. Examples could include flooding, the construction (建造) of new buildings, or a person making a big change or having strong influence on a particular area. Neal Foster, who creates the popular Horrible Histories Live stage shows, thinks oral history is vital. “Nothing competes with hearing history from people who went through the experience. What makes history fascinating is hearing the same event recalled by different people. That knowledge is priceless,” he says. 21. The text above is written to ________.

Helpless. D. Expensive. Masa walked slowly towards the house, stopping now and then to cut off dead leaves. There were few weeds. Yuki had spent many hours of her two-week visit weeding in the garden. Masa wondered if Yuki had spent so much of her time outside just because she wanted to avoid (避免) talking to her. “But Yuki must have wanted very much to see us,” Masa told herself. She had visited in the last weeks of June, as soon as her college was out for the summer. She said she wanted to stay longer but couldn’t because she had to work. Besides, she needed to use the studio at her college for photography and she had to go to the library to read. “Why do you have to go to college to study art?” Masa asked her. “All the great artists didn’t go to college.” Yuki shook her head. “That was a different time. It’s hard to explain.” “I was thinking you could live with us all year round and still be an artist. This is a nice quiet place to live.” “I don’t know. How would I support myself here?” “You can always give lessons,” Masa said. “But I don’t want to spend along time looking at kids’ drawings.” “What will you do after you graduate, anyway? Will you become a teacher somewhere else then?” “Grandma, I don’tknow,” Yuki sighed. “What is the use of going to college if you don’t know what you’re going there for?” “Maybe I’m going because I don’t know. I just want to study art now. I don’t want to think that far ahead (提前).” The minute Masa was going to point out that this was too careless away to live, Yuki suddenly stood up and put on her straw hat. “I’m going to the garden to weed your flowerbed” she said. “Let me know if there’s something else I can do.” On Yuki’s visit, Masa felt strained when they talked, and she was sure Yuki also felt it. But Yuki was never rude or irritable. Even when they disagreed, her face was always full of patience. 26. According to the passage, Yuki was ________.
