There’s a swimming pool, a river and a pizza restaurant. The scenery around the park is beautiful and great for walking. A week’s stay will cost you about €280. For more information please go to www.eurocamp.co.uk. Four Seasons Tented Camp, Golden Triangle (Thailand) As one of the best campsites in the world, it has a restaurant, a spa and a pool. There are only 15 cabins to rent so you’ll have to book early. The campsite can only be reached by river boat, but once there you can learn to ride an elephant. Unfortunately, it isn’t cheap, and two nights at the Four Seasons will cost you about €1,500! For more information please go to www.Fourseasons.com/goldentriangle. Three Cliffs Bay, Gower (Wales) The Three Cliffs Bay is in a beautiful part of the country, and it won’t cost you much either: a family tent is about €28 a day. There’s a camp shop where you can buy food and drinks, and there are restaurants nearby. You can water-ski from the beach, or wander along the Gower Way. For more information please go to www.Threecliffsbay.com. Longitude 131, Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park (Australia) Lying in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, near the huge red rock formerly known as Ayer’s Rock, this is more like a hotel than a campsite. There’s a restaurant, a pool and even a library. The only problem is that it’s a bit expensive — around €1,500 a night. For more information please go to www.Longitude131.com.au. 1. How much do you need to pay if you want to stay in Le Val de Cantobre for two days? A. €160 B. €560 C. €280 D. €80 2. If families like water-skiing, where can they find information? A. www.eurocamp.co.uk B. www.Longitude131.com.au C. www.Threecliffsbay.com D. www.Fourseasons.com/goldentriangle 3. What do we know about Longitude 131? A. It is made of rocks. B. It is the most expensive of the four places. C. It has a pizza restaurant. D. It is a national park in Australia. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个不同地方的露营地及相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Le Val de Cantobre, Aveyron (France)部分中“A week’s stay will cost you about €280(一周（7天）花费约280欧元)”可知，一天的费用约为280÷7=40欧元，住两天的费用就是40×2=80 欧元。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Three Cliffs Bay, Gower (Wales)部分中“You can water-ski from the beach, or wander along the Gower Way. For more information please go to www.Threecliffsbay.com.(你可以在海滩上滑水，或者沿着Gower Way漫步。欲了解更多信息，请访问www.Threecliffsbay.com)”可知，如果家庭喜欢滑水，可以在www.Threecliffsbay.com网站获取信息。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Le Val de Cantobre, Aveyron (France)部分“A week’s stay will cost you about €280(一周（7 天）花费约280欧元)”，和Four Seasons Tented Camp, Golden Triangle (Thailand)部分“Unfortunately, it isn’t cheap, and two nights at the Four Seasons will cost you about €1,500!(不幸的是，这并不便宜，在四季酒店住两晚大约需要1500欧元！)”，Three Cliffs Bay, Gower (Wales)部分“a family tent is about €28 a day.(一个家庭帐篷每天大约28欧元)”及Longitude 131, Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park (Australia)部分“The only problem is that it’s a bit expensive — around €1,500 a night.(唯一的问题是它有点贵——每晚约1500欧元)”可知，Longitude 131是四个地方中最贵的。故选B。 B Bill Buda’s daughter Alexa Buda shared a video on her Instagram, documenting her dad’s last day as a mail carrier in their neighborhood. In the clip, Bill Buda was seen delivering the mail to different houses while his family accompanied him. Community members gathered to celebrate with drawings and sweet notes. “People will NEVER forget how you made them feel.” he told Good Morning America. After being frequently asked about his retirement, he decided to choose Saturday to say goodbye to more people on his route. But he didn’t expect to be so warmly welcome. “When you sec all that on Saturday, I guess for 24 and a half years on this route, I really must have done something right. So it was fantastic.” he said. He began working as a mailman in 1993 and hardly missed work. He said “I was so lucky to work continuously for 11 years. So, that’s something to hang my hat on.” However, becoming a mailman wasn’t originally his plan. Being a basketball player in college, he was set to play professionally overseas before he suffered from a heart problem. What’s worse, he lost jobs for several times while working in a company after graduating with two college degrees. Later, his dad encouraged him to apply for the job at the post office, where he then started working and never left. Although some might think his job was “a piece of cake,” the actual responsibility was bigger than just delivering mail. “They have no idea you’re peeking in on your elderly; you’re checking if that garage door should be shut…” he explained, “If the mail piles up, you’d better go contact somebody.” As for his plan for retirement, he couldn’t wait to attend any sporting event he could and get everyone in his family on schedule. 4. Why was Bill Buda well-received? A. Because he was posted online by his daughter. B. Because he had made a difference to neighbors. C. Because he was often asked about his retirement. D. Because his family kept him company on the route. 5. What does the underlined part “to hang my hat on” likely mean in paragraph 3? A. Formal. B. Specific. C. Dependable. D. Ordinary. 6. What can we learn about Bill Buda? A. He personally found his job as easy as pie. B. He dreamed to be a mailman when in youth. C. He had to clean up the mail piling up himself. D. He was looking forward to his retirement life. 7. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. A Mail Carrier’s Retirement Life B. A Heartwarming Retirement Celebration C. The Importance of Devotion to Work D The Impression of Family Members 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Bill Buda作为邮递员在社区的最后一天工作的经历，以及他之前的人生经历和退休后的计划。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段““People will NEVER forget how you made them feel.” he told Good Morning America.(“人们永远不会忘记你给他们带来的感受。”他告诉《早安美国》)”以及““When you sec all that on Saturday, I guess for 24 and a half years on this route, I really must have done something right. So it was fantastic.” he said.(“当你在周六看到这一切时，我想在这条路线上工作的24年半时间里，我肯定真的做对了一些事。所以这感觉太棒了。”他说道)”可知，在长达 24 年半的工作时间里，他给邻居们带来了美好的感受，对邻居们产生了积极影响。由此可知，Bill Buda很受欢迎，因为他对邻居们产生了影响。故选B。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词组上文“I was so lucky to work continuously for 11 years.(我很幸运能够连续工作11年)”可推测，他工作可靠，是值得为之骄傲的事。由此可知，划线词组to hang my hat on与选项C“dependable(可靠的)”意思相近。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As for his plan for retirement, he couldn’t wait to attend any sporting event he could and get everyone in his family on schedule.(至于退休后的计划，他迫不及待地想要去参加各种体育赛事，还打算让家里的每个人都能按计划行事)”可知，他迫不及待地想按计划开启退休生活，参加体育赛事等。由此推知，他很期待退休生活。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Bill Buda’s daughter Alexa Buda shared a video on her Instagram, documenting her dad’s last day as a mail carrier in their neighborhood. In the clip, Bill Buda was seen delivering the mail to different houses while his family accompanied him. Community members gathered to celebrate with drawings and sweet notes.(Bill Buda的女儿Alexa Buda在她的Instagram上分享了一段视频，记录了她父亲作为当地邮递员的最后一天。在这段视频中，可以看到Bill Buda在家人的陪伴下，挨家挨户地投递邮件。社区居民们拿着绘画作品和温馨的纸条，聚在一起为他庆祝)”以及全文内容可知，文章围绕Bill Buda作为邮递员退休展开，讲述了他退休当天家人陪伴，社区居民拿着绘画和纸条为他庆祝，这种退休庆祝场面十分温馨感人。由此可知，B“A Heartwarming Retirement Celebration(一场温馨感人的退休庆祝)” 能很好地概括文章主要内容。故选B。 C If writing a letter a hundred years ago was like sitting down with someone in a quiet room and talking face to face, writing an email today is like shouting at someone across a noisy crossroads while they’re rushing to a meeting. Everyone is too busy. We keep getting information from emails, text messages and the web. It’s very possible that your email will be read when the receiver is on a phone or doing other tasks. This means, when writing an email, you should be clear. I often receive emails from people who are interested in some sort of knowledge communication but never make it clear how they would like me to take action. Do they want to have a coffee? Do they want to make a phone call? It’s unclear. So I won’t respond (回复) at all. It’s more possible for you to get a response from someone if it’s clear what the next step is. Let’s say you’re reaching out to a film director you admire for advice. Don’t just email him/ her with: I’ve been a fan of your films for years, and I’d love to ask you some advice. What do you say? Instead, write something like the following : I’m a longtime admire r of your films and have the greatest respect (尊重) for your filmmaking skills. I would love to ask you a few questions about how you made your first film. Would you be available to have a 15-20 minute phone call next week? My schedule is wide open all day on Thursday and Friday if you are free then. I know you’re very busy, so I promise to keep it short. The second example explains the subject matter and the fact that you just want to make a phone call. This is more acceptable because you’ve already suggested a date. In other words, you’ve respected their time, and they now know that dealing with you won’t be a headache. 8. What does the first paragraph say? A. Few people write letters nowadays. B. People seldom talk face to face nowadays. C. People are too busy to read an email carefully today. D. People can deal with different tasks at the same time. 9. Why doesn’t the author respond to some emails? A. Because he is too busy with the task at hand. B. Because he thinks it will waste too much time. C. Because he doesn’t want to communicate with strangers. D. Because he doesn’t know what the sender wants from him. 10. What does the underlined word “it” in the last but one paragraph refer to? A. The email. B. The phone call. C. The film. D. The meeting. 11. Why does the author think the second email is better? A. Because it includes detailed and clear information. B. Because it makes the film director feel proud. C. Because it is a more official email. D Because it sounds more impolite. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。现代人的生活很忙碌，因此，你的邮件必须要明确地传达你的目的，才更有可能得到回复。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“writing an mail today is like shouting at someone across a noisy crossroads while they’re rushing to a meeting. Everyone is too busy.(那么今天写一封电子邮件就像在一个嘈杂的十字路口对着一个匆匆赶去开会的人大喊大叫。每个人都太忙了。)”可知，人们今天太忙了，没有时间仔细阅读电子邮件。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I often receive emails from people who are interested in some sort of knowledge communication but never make it clear how they would like me to take action.(我经常收到那些对某种知识交流感兴趣但从未明确说明他们希望我如何采取行动的人的电子邮件)”以及“It’s unclear. (目前还不清楚)”可知，作者不回复某些邮件是因为不知道发件人想从他那里得到什么。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Would you be available to have a 15-20 minute phone call next week? My schedule is wide open all day on Thursday and Friday if you are free then. I know you’re very busy, so I promise to keep it short.(您下周是否有空进行一次15到20分钟的电话沟通？如果您周四或周五有空，我这两天全天都有时间。我知道您事务繁忙，所以我保证会简短交流。)”可知，作者询问对方下周是否有空进行 15 到 20 分钟的电话交谈，接着说自己周四和周五全天有空，承诺会缩短时间，这里的“it”指的是前面提到的“phone call”，即电话通话。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The second example explains the subject matter and the fact that you just want to make a phone call.(第二个示例说明了主题以及您只想拨打电话的事实。)”可推知，作者认为第二封电子邮件更好的原因是它包括详细而清晰的信息，故选A。 D Imagine a school where students are taught by the best teachers in every subject, regardless of location. Imagine a school where students could go on safe field trips to the Amazon rainforest or Everest base camp. Well, such schools are already being built: in virtual(虚拟的)reality. Last year, Optima Academy Online, an all-virtual school, delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people. These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 full-time students from all over Florida. In the progress of home-schooling, students use headsets for about three hours a day for formal lessons and then do course work independently with digital check-ins. Future versions(版本)of VR will doubtless be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed? There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror. A recent report concluded that digital education could significantly improve the quality and equality of schooling systems. But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access(使用)to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones. Used properly, technology can be great for enabling self-motivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. The trouble is that Edtech is too often seen as a shiny new toy that will solve all problems and save money rather than being viewed as a different way to learn, she adds. 12. What can we learn about Optima Academy Online? A. It has been widely accepted. B. It holds faraway outdoor field trips. C. It provides various online courses. D. It requires parents to help with check-ins. 13. What does paragraph 3 focus on about VR in education? A. The development. B. The concerns. C. The advantages. D. The popularity. 14. Students in Mexico are mentioned to show________． A. Mexican schooling quality has been improved B. local schooling systems are not fully developed C. technology access gaps may cause education inequality D. family backgrounds shape people’s views on education 15. What does Beeban Kidron think of digital education? A. It enriches learning. B. It’s irreplaceable. C. It needs improving. D. It’s undervalued. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍虚拟现实在教学中的应用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段“Last year, Optima Academy Online, an all-virtual school, delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people. These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 full-time students from all over Florida. (去年，Optima Academy Online，一所全虚拟的学校，提供了旨在改善年轻人心灵和训练他们心智的课程。这些课程层次不同，吸引了来自佛罗里达州各地的170名全日制学生。)”可知，Optima Academy Online提供各种层次不同的在线课程。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“Future versions(版本)of VR will doubtless be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed? There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror.(毫无疑问，未来版本的VR将在教育中广泛使用，但唯一的问题是：出于什么目的，以什么速度？有足够的理由怀疑虚拟现实学校是否代表了教育的未来。把一个孩子戴在脸上的重型VR耳机粘在卧室里，不与其他孩子进行身体社交，这会让他们中的许多人和父母感到恐惧。)”可知，本段主要就虚拟现实在教学中的应用可能存在的问题表示担忧。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段“But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access(使用)to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones.(但如果管理不善，可能会产生相反的效果，将数字鸿沟变成教育鸿沟。越来越多的证据表明这种情况正在发生。在墨西哥，贫困学校中只有24%的15岁学生能够使用家用电脑完成学业，而富裕学校中这一比例为87%。)”可知，墨西哥学生被提及是为了表明技术获取差距可能导致教育不平等。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Used properly, technology can be great for enabling self-motivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. (英国数字未来委员会成员Beeban Kidron表示，如果使用得当，技术可以很好地让有上进心的学生获得学习资源，并与世界各地的同学和老师建立联系。)”可知，Beeban Kidron认为数字教育丰富学习，使教育多元化。故选A项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读短文内容，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。 Phone addiction has a number of negative effects. Here are some ways to remove it. In order not to look at your phone as soon as you wake up in the morning, place your phone in another room or your coat pocket. Then spend at least the first 30 minutes of your day building good habits.____16____ Studies show that on average we use the phone 50 to 150 times a day.____17____You could do some reading, do a crossword puzzle or even something as simple as a walk in the yard—anything helping you get rid of your phone is OK. One of the main problems with smart phones is that you worry if you don’t check your phone regularly, you may miss out on something important, such as invitations to events or work emails.____18____ When someone has something important to tell you, they may give you a call. Therefore, it is OK to stay away from your phone sometimes. What’s going on in the real world, right in front of you, is almost always more important than what is happening online. Put away your phone when you are with someone important.____19____ For example, having dinner with friends will become awkward if you always check your phone. ____20____ That is because being addicted to the phone before going to bed greatly influences your sleep. This can harm your physical and mental health in the long run. Therefore, make it a rule to stop using your phone an hour before you go to sleep. A. Ask your friends or family for help. B. However, it is almost never the case. C. Your smart phone has almost every tool that you need. D. So you should do something meaningful to avoid looking at it. E. A good rest should be more important than your phone at night. F. This could be exercise like a morning run or cooking a good breakfast. G. Many relationships have suffered because of our addiction to the phone. 【答案】16. F 17. D 18. B 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了克服手机上瘾的几种方法。 【16题详解】 根据上文“In order not to look at your phone as soon as you wake up in the morning, place your phone in another room or your coat pocket. Then spend at least the first 30 minutes of your day building good habits.”(为了避免早上醒来时看手机，把手机放在另一个房间或外套口袋里。然后每天至少花30分钟养成好习惯。)可知，为了避免醒来时看手机，要每天至少花30分钟养成好的习惯，空处应该是具体解释好的习惯是什么，F选项“This could be exercise like a morning run or cooking a good breakfast.”(这可以是晨跑或者做早餐这样的锻炼。)符合，承接上文，其中this代指上文提到的“好习惯”，故选F。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Studies show that on average we use the phone 50 to 150 times a day.”(研究表明，我们平均每天使用电话50到150次。)和下文“You could do some reading, do a crossword puzzle or even something as simple as a walk in the yard—anything helping you get rid of your phone is OK.”(你可以读读书，做做字谜游戏，甚至做一些简单的事情，比如在院子里散散步——任何能帮助你摆脱手机的事情都可以。)可知，空处应该是承上启下，因为我们每天看手机很频繁，所以我们要做一些有意义的事情来避免频繁看手机，且空后具体列举了一些有意义的事，所以D选项“So you should do something meaningful to avoid looking at it.”(所以你应该做些有意义的事情来避免看手机。)符合，承上启下，故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文“One of the main problems with smart phones is that you worry if you don’t check your phone regularly, you may miss out on something important, such as invitations to events or work emails.”(智能手机的一个主要问题是，你担心如果你不定期看手机，你可能会错过一些重要的事情，如邀请活动或工作电子邮件。)和下文“When someone has something important to tell you, they may give you a call.”(如果有人有重要的事情要告诉你，他们可能会给你打电话。)可知，空处应该是和上文存在转折关系，说明不频繁使用手机也不必担心错过什么重要的事，B选项“However, it is almost never the case.”(然而，事情从来都不是这样。)符合，引起下文，故选B。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Put away your phone when you are with someone important.”(和重要人物在一起的时候，把手机收起来。)和下文“For example, having dinner with friends will become awkward if you always check your phone.”(例如，如果你总是查看手机，和朋友吃饭就会变得很尴尬。)可知，空处应该是具体解释上文内容，即和重要人物在一起的时候要把手机收起来，这是因为手机上瘾有损人际关系，同时下文具体举例子说明此问题。G选项“Many relationships have suffered because of our addiction to the phone.”(因为我们沉迷于电话，很多人际关系都受到了影响。)符合，承上启下，故选G。 【20题详解】 根据下文“That is because being addicted to the phone before going to bed greatly influences your sleep. This can harm your physical and mental health in the long run. Therefore, make it a rule to stop using your phone an hour before you go to sleep.”( 那是因为上床前沉迷于手机会极大地影响你的睡眠。从长远来看，这会损害你的身心健康。所以，在睡觉前一小时不要用手机。)可知，本段主要讲睡觉前看手机会损害人们的身心健康，空处位于段首，引起下文，E选项“A good rest should be more important than your phone at night.”(好好休息比晚上打电话更重要。)符合，概括了本段大意，故选E。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Robin was 12 years old when his mother sent him to me for his first piano lesson.

Unless除非；B. Because因为C. Until直到；D. Although虽然。前半部分“Robin tried very hard”和后半部分“he didn't seem to have the basic sense of music”之间存在转折关系。故选D项。 【24题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：然而，他还是继续学着钢琴，而且在每节课结束时他从来没有忘记说：“我妈妈总有一天会听到我演奏。” A. acted表现；B. continued继续；C. commanded需要；D. proved证明。根据前文可知，Robin没有基本的音乐意识，根据“However”的转折语义可知，他仍在继续坚持学习。故选B项。 【25题详解】 考查动词过去分词词义辨析。句意：但这似乎是不可能的，我对他的缓慢进展感到失望。A. encouraged受鼓励的；B. disappointed失望的；C. touched受感触的；D. guided被指导的。根据前文“But it seemed impossible”以及后文“his slow progress”可知，作者很失望。故选B项。 【26题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：有一天，他告诉我，他妈妈病了，他不能再来上我的课了。A. told告诉；B. showed出示；C. convinced使确信；D. promised承诺。根据后文“his mother was sick and he couldn't come to my class any longer”内容可知，Robin是一般事实的陈述（要请假），所以指“告诉老师”。故选A项。 【27题详解】 考查动词短语词义辨析。句意：几个月后，当我正在为我的学生准备一个音乐节目时，Robin来到我家，说他要报名参加这个节目。A. look forward to盼望；B. sign up for报名；C. focus on专注；D. learn from向……学习。根据前文“I was preparing my students for a music show”可知，作者准备为学生准备音乐节目，所以Robin前来报名参加。后文“My mom had cancer and just passed away the day I went to your ___14___ to ask for your permission to take part in the show.”可知，他要报名参加这个节目。故选B项。 【28题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我不知道是什么让我允许他这么做的。A. warn警告；B. persuade说服；C. allow允许；D. force强迫。根据后文“Maybe it was the ___9___ in his eyes or maybe it was something inside of me saying that it would be all right.”可知，作者答应了Robin的要求，所以指“允许”他报名。故选C项。 【29题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：也许是他眼中的决心，也许是我内心的某种力量在告诉我一切都会好的。A. determination决心；B. happiness幸福；C. reflections反思；D. anger愤怒。虽然老师并不看好Robin，可是却允许他报名了。其中原因之一，应该是Robin的坚决态度。故选A项。 【30题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：当Robin宣布他选择了莫扎特最困难的曲子之一时，我更惊讶了。A. excited激动的；B. satisfied满意的；C. relieved放心的；D. surprised吃惊的。根据后文“he had chosen one of the most difficult pieces of Mozart”可知，作者没有想到他竟然选择最难的曲子，所以感到惊讶。故选D项。 【31题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：然而，在节目中，他的手指在琴键上优雅地舞动着。A. gracefully优雅地；B. awkwardly笨拙地；C. slowly缓慢地；D. quickly迅速地。根据后文“He played so well ”可知，Robin弹得很好，所以这里描述他的手指“优雅地”的在琴键上舞动。故选A项。 【32题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：他演奏得非常好，当他离开舞台时，每个人都激动地鼓掌。A. shook摇动；B. clapped鼓掌；C. danced跳舞；D. laughed大笑。根据前文“He played so well ”可知，Robin弹得很好，根据后文“when he was leaving the stage”语境可知，此处指大家鼓掌喝彩。故选B项。 【33题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我激动地跑上舞台向他祝贺。A. followed跟随；B. drove驾驶；C. woke醒来；D. ran跑。根据前文“He played so well that everyone ___12___excitedly when he was leaving the stage.”可知，Robin弹得很好，所以作者激动的跑到舞台向他祝贺。故选D项。 【34题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我妈妈得了癌症，就在我去你家请求你允许我参加演出的那天，她去世了。A. house房子，家；B. office办公室；C. class班级；D. stage舞台。根据前文“Robin came to my home and said he had to ___7___ the show”可知，Robin去作者家里请求参加演出。故选A项。 【35题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我想让它与众不同。A. special专门的，特殊的；B. important重要的；C. similar类似的；D. popular流行的。根据前文Robin所说“It was the first time she could hear me play on the stage.”可知，因为是去世的妈妈第一次听Robin在舞台上演奏，所以Robin想让演奏与众不同。故选A项。 第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。 Each of us fails from time to time.

My pupils, Donnie ____44____ (include), adored her. With her frequent _____45_____ (encourage), Donnie became confident. 【答案】36. But 37. or 38. a 39. kept 40. that 41. repeatedly 42. his 43. when 44. included 45. encouragement 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者如何帮助害羞且害怕失败的学生Donnie建立自信的故事。 【36题详解】 考查连词。句意：但如果我们作为家长和老师，却常常不允许我们的孩子享有同样的权利。上文提到“如果我们明智，我们会接受这些失败作为学习过程的必要部分”，下文提到“作为家长和老师，我们常常不允许我们的孩子享有同样的权利”，上下文之间是转折关系，用连词but，句首单词首字母大写。故填But。 【37题详解】 考查固定搭配。句意：我们通过言语或行动传达出失败是可耻的，只有最好的表现才符合我们的期望。either...or...“或者……或者……”，固定搭配。故填or。 【38题详解】 考查冠词。句意：他是一个害羞又紧张的完美主义者。perfectionist“完美主义者”是可数名词，此处表泛指“一个害羞又紧张的完美主义者”，且shy是以辅音音素开头的词，用不定冠词a。故填a。 【39题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：他对失败的恐惧使他不能参加其他孩子玩的课堂游戏。keep sb. from doing sth.“组织某人做某事”。空处作谓语，此处讲述过去发生的事情，时态用一般过去时，谓语用keep的过去式kept。故填kept。 【40题详解】 考查固定句型。句意：他很少回答问题，因为他害怕自己可能错了。固定句型for fear that引导目的状语从句，表示“以免，唯恐”。故填that。 【41题详解】 考查副词。句意：他很少完成他的作业，因为他反复和我核对，以确保他没有犯错误。空处修饰动词checked，用副词repeatedly“反复地”，作状语。故填repeatedly。 【42题详解】 考查代词。句意：我尽我最大的努力建立他的自信。此处指“Donnie的自信”，用形容词性物主代词his，作定语，修饰self-confidence。故填his。 【43题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：但直到学期中期，情况才有所改变，当时实习老师Mary Anne被分配到我们班。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是midterm，关系词代替先行词在句子中作时间状语，用关系副词when引导。故填when。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：我的学生，包括Donnie，都很喜欢她。本句已有谓语动词adored，所以空处需用非谓语动词；Donnie和include“包括”之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，用过去分词，作后置定语。故填included。 【45题详解】 考查名词。句意：在她经常的鼓励下，Donnie变得自信了。空处作介词With的宾语，用名词encouragement“鼓励”。故填encouragement。 第四部分 写作(共两节 ，满分40分) 第一节 书面表达(满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，得知第32届夏季奥林匹克运动会在招募志愿者，你很感兴趣，想申请。请根据以下要点，给国奥会主席巴赫(Bach) 写一封英文申请信。 内容包括： 1.写信目的； 2,说明个人优势； 3.希望申请成功。 注意： 1词数100左右; 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 3.参考词汇：第32届夏季奥林匹克运动会；2021 Tokyo Olympic Games 【答案】Dear Bach, I’m Li Hua, a high school student.

It was a great day to play outside and the best day of my life because I got a new ball and a new bike as my sixth birthday presents, and I was visiting my cousin, Kristy, at her house. “Here I go!” shouted David while kicking my new ball. David lived next door and was older than me. I thought he was a wild child, but he was actually very kind. The ball went flying as if it were going to space. “That was high!” Kristy said in surprise and we went after the ball. We all had a great time. Later we had supper and the food my aunt made was good. While Kristy was helping do the dishes, David and I ran outside to play. We started taking turns riding my bike. David suggested that we ride it to the forest. And I agreed. David and I got on the bike and David started riding fast. As we rode through the forest, I felt the wind brushing my face. It felt so great and free. Suddenly the bike hit a fallen branch and we went flying off the bike. Lying on the ground, I felt dizzy (眩晕的). I checked myself for injuries and saw some but they didn’t upset me. “David!” I shouted out anxiously. “Hey” said a voice. I turned my head and it was David, who was standing behind me, holding my broken bike. At the sight of my disabled bike, I was so sad that I couldn’t hold back my tears. It took David some time to calm me down. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右。 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When we realized it was time to walk home, we found ourselves lost. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It was completely dark when we saw fireworks (烟花) being set off in the distance. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When we realized it was time to walk home, we found ourselves lost. It was getting darker and darker. I felt so scared that tears rolled down my face again. David tried to comfort me. He told me that he once made some marks on the trees in the forest, which might help us find the way home. Therefore, we made efforts to look for the marks but failed. Having walked anxiously for about an hour in the forest, we didn’t find our way out. It was completely dark when we saw fireworks (烟花) being set off in the distance. We ran excitedly in that direction as fast as possible. Soon we found my aunt’s house, in front of which my cousin Kristy was holding some fireworks and lighting them. Seeing us back safe, Kristy cheerfully hugged us. She told us that when noticing we had been away for long, she was concerned about our safety. She set off fireworks to draw our attention and guide us. It was an unforgettable experience. Without David’s comfort and Kristy’s fireworks, I would have lost in the forest forever. 【解析】 【分析】文章以人物为线索，讲述了作者在他六岁生日时候收到新的礼物并且带着礼物去拜访他的姑姑，在他姑姑家遇到另外一个男孩并且一起玩耍时候的遭遇。 【详解】1.段落续写： 由第一段首句内容“当我们意识到我们该回家的时候，发现我们迷路了。”可知，第一段可描写我们迷路了，设法去寻找回家的路的过程。 由第二段首句内容“当我们看到远处燃放的烟花时，天已经完全黑了。”可知，第二段可描写我们借助烟花找到回家的方向，最终回到家的过程。 2.续写线索：害怕——努力寻找回家的路——看到烟花找到方向——回到家——真相大白——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①尽力安慰：try to comfort/attempt to relieve ②.吸引注意：draw one’s attention/attract one’s attention ③.引导：guide/direct/lead 情绪类 ①.害怕：scared/frightened/ ②.高兴：cheerfully/joyfully/happily/merrily 【点睛】[高分句型1].

For more information please go to www.eurocamp.co.uk. Four Seasons Tented Camp, Golden Triangle (Thailand) As one of the best campsites in the world, it has a restaurant, a spa and a pool. There are only 15 cabins to rent so you’ll have to book early. The campsite can only be reached by river boat, but once there you can learn to ride an elephant. Unfortunately, it isn’t cheap, and two nights at the Four Seasons will cost you about €1,500! For more information please go to www.Fourseasons.com/goldentriangle. Three Cliffs Bay, Gower (Wales) The Three Cliffs Bay is in a beautiful part of the country, and it won’t cost you much either: a family tent is about €28 a day.

For more information please go to www.Threecliffsbay.com.

B Bill Buda’s daughter Alexa Buda shared a video on her Instagram, documenting her dad’s last day as a mail carrier in their neighborhood. In the clip, Bill Buda was seen delivering the mail to different houses while his family accompanied him. Community members gathered to celebrate with drawings and sweet notes. “People will NEVER forget how you made them feel.” he told Good Morning America. After being frequently asked about his retirement, he decided to choose Saturday to say goodbye to more people on his route. But he didn’t expect to be so warmly welcome. “When you sec all that on Saturday, I guess for 24 and a half years on this route, I really must have done something right. So it was fantastic.” he said. He began working as a mailman in 1993 and hardly missed work. He said “I was so lucky to work continuously for 11 years. So, that’s something to hang my hat on.” However, becoming a mailman wasn’t originally his plan. Being a basketball player in college, he was set to play professionally overseas before he suffered from a heart problem. What’s worse, he lost jobs for several times while working in a company after graduating with two college degrees. Later, his dad encouraged him to apply for the job at the post office, where he then started working and never left. Although some might think his job was “a piece of cake,” the actual responsibility was bigger than just delivering mail. “They have no idea you’re peeking in on your elderly; you’re checking if that garage door should be shut…” he explained, “If the mail piles up, you’d better go contact somebody.” As for his plan for retirement, he couldn’t wait to attend any sporting event he could and get everyone in his family on schedule. 4. Why was Bill Buda well-received? A. Because he was posted online by his daughter. B. Because he had made a difference to neighbors. C. Because he was often asked about his retirement. D. Because his family kept him company on the route. 5. What does the underlined part “to hang my hat on” likely mean in paragraph 3? A. Formal. B. Specific. C. Dependable. D. Ordinary. 6. What can we learn about Bill Buda? A. He personally found his job as easy as pie. B. He dreamed to be a mailman when in youth. C. He had to clean up the mail piling up himself. D. He was looking forward to his retirement life. 7. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. A Mail Carrier’s Retirement Life B. A Heartwarming Retirement Celebration C. The Importance of Devotion to Work D. The Impression of Family Members C If writing a letter a hundred years ago was like sitting down with someone in a quiet room and talking face to face, writing an email today is like shouting at someone across a noisy crossroads while they’re rushing to a meeting. Everyone is too busy. We keep getting information from emails, text messages and the web. It’s very possible that your email will be read when the receiver is on a phone or doing other tasks. This means, when writing an email, you should be clear. I often receive emails from people who are interested in some sort of knowledge communication but never make it clear how they would like me to take action. Do they want to have a coffee? Do they want to make a phone call? It’s unclear. So I won’t respond (回复) at all. It’s more possible for you to get a response from someone if it’s clear what the next step is. Let’s say you’re reaching out to a film director you admire for advice. Don’t just email him/ her with: I’ve been a fan of your films for years, and I’d love to ask you some advice. What do you say? Instead, write something like the following : I’m a longtime admire r of your films and have the greatest respect (尊重) for your filmmaking skills. I would love to ask you a few questions about how you made your first film. Would you be available to have a 15-20 minute phone call next week? My schedule is wide open all day on Thursday and Friday if you are free then. I know you’re very busy, so I promise to keep it short. The second example explains the subject matter and the fact that you just want to make a phone call. This is more acceptable because you’ve already suggested a date. In other words, you’ve respected their time, and they now know that dealing with you won’t be a headache. 8. What does the first paragraph say? A. Few people write letters nowadays. B. People seldom talk face to face nowadays. C. People are too busy to read an email carefully today. D. People can deal with different tasks at the same time. 9. Why doesn’t the author respond to some emails? A Because he is too busy with the task at hand. B. Because he thinks it will waste too much time. C. Because he doesn’t want to communicate with strangers. D. Because he doesn’t know what the sender wants from him. 10. What does the underlined word “it” in the last but one paragraph refer to? A. The email. B. The phone call. C. The film. D. The meeting. 11. Why does the author think the second email is better? A. Because it includes detailed and clear information. B. Because it makes the film director feel proud. C. Because it is a more official email. D. Because it sounds more impolite. D Imagine a school where students are taught by the best teachers in every subject, regardless of location. Imagine a school where students could go on safe field trips to the Amazon rainforest or Everest base camp. Well, such schools are already being built: in virtual(虚拟的)reality. Last year, Optima Academy Online, an all-virtual school, delivered courses that aim to improve the hearts and train the minds of young people. These courses are of different levels, attracting 170 full-time students from all over Florida. In the progress of home-schooling, students use headsets for about three hours a day for formal lessons and then do course work independently with digital check-ins. Future versions(版本)of VR will doubtless be widely used in education, but the only questions are: for what purpose and at what speed? There are enough reasons to doubt whether VR schools represent the future of education. Sticking a child in their bedroom with a heavy VR headset fastened to their face and no physical social interaction with other kids will fill many of them and their parents with horror. A recent report concluded that digital education could significantly improve the quality and equality of schooling systems. But if managed poorly, it could have the opposite effect, turning a digital divide into an educational one. There is growing evidence to suggest that is happening. In Mexico, only 24 percent of 15-year-old students in poor schools have access(使用)to a home computer for schoolwork compared with 87 percent in rich ones. Used properly technology can be great for enabling self-motivated students to access learning resources and connect with fellow students and teachers all over the world, says Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK’s Digital Futures Commission. The trouble is that Edtech is too often seen as a shiny new toy that will solve all problems and save money rather than being viewed as a different way to learn, she adds. 12.

David lived next door and was older than me. I thought he was a wild child, but he was actually very kind. The ball went flying as if it were going to space. “That was high!” Kristy said in surprise and we went after the ball. We all had a great time. Later we had supper and the food my aunt made was good. While Kristy was helping do the dishes, David and I ran outside to play. We started taking turns riding my bike. David suggested that we ride it to the forest. And I agreed. David and I got on the bike and David started riding fast. As we rode through the forest, I felt the wind brushing my face. It felt so great and free. Suddenly the bike hit a fallen branch and we went flying off the bike. Lying on the ground, I felt dizzy (眩晕的). I checked myself for injuries and saw some but they didn’t upset me. “David!” I shouted out anxiously. “Hey,” said a voice. I turned my head and it was David, who was standing behind me, holding my broken bike. At the sight of my disabled bike, I was so sad that I couldn’t hold back my tears. It took David some time to calm me down. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右。 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 When we realized it was time to walk home, we found ourselves lost. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It was completely dark when we saw fireworks (烟花) being set off in the distance. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
