A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述成功与失败问题。文中介绍，每个人都会遇到失败，但是对待失败，不同的人有不同的方式：有的人萎靡不振，有的人勇敢面对，前者会遇到更多的失败，后者则终有一天实现梦想。因此，只要坚持不懈，人生就会大有不同。 【1题详解】 句意：每个人都想成功，但失败是我们经常遇到的事情。 a不定冠词，表泛指，修饰辅音音素开头的单词；the定冠词，表特指；an不定冠词，表泛指，修饰元音音素开头的单词。空后thing是单数名词，所以此处表示泛指，且空后common首字母发辅音音素，所以用a修饰，故选A。 【2题详解】 句意：有时我们考试不及格。 fail不及格，原形；fails动词三单形式；failing现在分词/动名词。上文讲述了“失败经常会遇到”，所以此处应是说考试不及格，主语是复数，谓语动词用原形，故选A。 【3题详解】 句意：几乎每个人在一生中都会遇到失败。 to到；from从；with和……一起。 根据“meets ... failure”可知，此处指“遇到”失败，meet with“遭遇，经历”，故选C。 【4题详解】 句意：然而，不同的人有不同的方式来应对失败。 deal应对，原形；deals动词三单形式；to deal动词不定式。分析句子可知，空处需作后置定语修饰名词ways，所以应用动词不定式，故选C。 【5题详解】 句意：他们似乎认为这是世界末日。 think认为，原形；to think动词不定式；to thinking介词to+动名词形式。seem to do sth“似乎做某事”，故选B。 【6题详解】 句意：另一方面，其他人并不那么在意失败。 Others其他人；Other其他的，后跟名词复数；Another另一个。空处在句中作主语，结合上文“Some people”可知，此处指“其他人”，故选A。 【7题详解】 句意：他们将继续努力，尽最大努力取得最后的成功。 they他们，主格；them他们，宾格；their他们的。try one’s best to do sth“尽某人最大努力做某事”，固定短语，所以空处用their，故选C。 【8题详解】 句意：现在让我们想象一下这两种方式的结局。 way方法；ways是way的复数形式；way’s是way的所有格。two后跟名词的复数形式，故选B。 【9题详解】 句意：如果我们害怕失败，总是感到沮丧，不努力改变自己，我们可能会遇到越来越多的失败。 upset心烦意乱的；more upset更加不安的；most upset最不安的。feel后跟形容词作表语，句中没有比较之意，所以用upset，故选A。 【10题详解】 句意：但是只要我们充满希望，勇敢地面对它们，永不放弃，我们就会成功，我们的梦想总有一天会实现。 But但是；And和；Or或者。空前说的是失败的情况，空后说的是成功的情况，前后之间是转折关系，所以用but连接，故选A。 Ⅲ.完形填空(每小题1.5分，共15分) 根据短文内容，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。 根据短文内容，从 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出一个能填入相应空格内的最佳答案，并把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。 You feel tired and you have no energy.

During the mornings and afternoons, there is the “rush hour”. The last way to get around London is using your own car. It is inconvenient (不方便的) if you are driving in the “rush hour”. If there is an accident on the road, you will have to wait for a long time. The best time to travel around the city is from 9am. to 4pm. This is the time after the morning “rush hour” and before the evening “rush hour”. Traffic will be less heavy during this time. 28. How many ways are there if you travel around London? A. Three. B.

In the US, for example, there is a campaign (运动) called Meatless Mondays. The idea is to have meatless meals every Monday. By the end of 2018, 230 middle and primary schools in the US had joined this campaign, according to Southern Weekly. These schools give students a vegetarian breakfast and lunch every Monday. How did Meatless Mondays become part of food culture in the West? The first reason is that it’s healthy. Many studies have shown that eating less meat is good for people’s health. “Vegetarian diets can lower the risk (风险) of fatness, heart disease (疾病) and cancer (癌症),” scientist Sharon Palmer told CNN. “Even going meatless one day a week can make a difference.” ▲ A study from Nature found that animal products (制品) create a lot of greenhouse gases (温室气体). 78 percent of total agricultural emissions (农业排放) are from them. If we eat less meat, it will be better for the environment. In March this year, New York Mayor Bill De Blasio said that all public schools in New York City would join the Meatless Mondays campaign. Joining the campaign, he said, will help us stay healthy and keep our planet green for the future. 32. The word “vegetarian” in paragraph 1 means ________. A. eating no vegetables B. eating only fruit C. eating more meat D. eating no meat 33. The Paragraph 2-3 mainly tell about ________. A. the history of food culture in the West B. some common diseases C. how much meat we need each day D. how eating less meat can help us 34. Which sentence can you put in ▲ ? A. Another reason is about eating habits. B. But it’s not only about health. C. Eating too much meat bring us health problems. D. That’s why this campaign is becoming popular. 35. You can find the article in ________. A. a newspaper B. a dictionary C. a history book D. a movie magazine 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍“无肉星期一”活动，并且越来越多的人少吃肉，这样有助于我们保持健康，让我们的地球在未来保持绿色。 【32题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段最后一句“These schools give students a vegetarian breakfast and lunch every Monday.”（这些学校每周一为学生提供素食早餐和午餐） 和第二段第一句 “How did Meatless Mondays become part of food culture in the West? ”（“星期一无肉”是如何成为西方饮食文化的一部分的）”可知，“vegetarian”的意思是不吃肉。故选D。 【33题详解】 段落大意题。根据文章第二三段的大致内容，尤其是关键句“The first reason is that it’s healthy.”（第一个原因是它是健康的）、 “Vegetarian diets can lower the risk (风险) of fatness, heart disease (疾病) and cancer (癌症)”（素食可以降低肥胖、热病和癌症的风险）和“If we eat less meat, it will be better for the environment.”（如果我们少吃肉，对环境会更好）可知，第二三段主要介绍了少吃肉对我们的好处。故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句 “If we eat less meat, it will be better for the environment.”（如果我们少吃肉，对环境会更好）可知，这一段是接着上一段在讲述不吃肉的好处，B选项“但这不仅仅关乎健康”与上文中“The first reason is that it’s healthy.（第一个原因是它是健康的）”相呼应，说明这里是在讲除了健康之外的好处，符合题意，故选B。 【35题详解】 文章来源题。本文主要介绍了素食对我们的好处，包括保护身体健康和保护环境等。所以这篇文章应该是出现在一份报纸上。故选A。 E ①Do you often have a sound sleep? How often do you wake up at nights? Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night? If so, scientist may provide you with a good piece of advice—listen to some soft music. ②Scientists have found that soft music can help to improve sleep quality and quantity (量).

You may not notice the effects (功效) overnight, though. It could take as many as 3 weeks to see any improvements. ③Why can soft music help us sleep better? The reasons aren’t clear yet.

This prepares us for sleep. ④Scientists say that for most people, music that has 70 beats (节拍) per minute (bpm) works best. Classical, jazz and folk music usually make more differences than other musical styles. ⑤Familiar (熟悉的) songs work well, too. You may need to test to make your own playlists. If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute, you can find out by entering its title into www.songbpm.com. And remember to get volume (音量) right. Make sure that the final piece is gradually slowing down, or you may be woken up by the sudden silence. ⑥It’s very important to get enough high-quality sleep.

One day her parents went on a trip to Shanghai, so she had to stay at home alone. At first she thought she would be happy because her parents were not in. She could do everything that she liked. But it was seven o’clock in the evening, and she felt hungry. “Oh, it’s time to have supper. Where can I get my food?” she said to herself. Later she found some food in the fridge, but she didn’t know how to cook. At that moment, she missed her parents very much. At last she could only go to a restaurant to eat. Many of teenagers are the same as Joy. So I think teenagers should learn some basic life skills such as tidying up their rooms, dressing themselves, cooking some simple dishes and so on. In a word, __________. (*可能有用的词汇：depend on 依靠，依赖 be independent 独立) 45. Do most Chinese teenagers know how to do housework? ________________________________ 46. Where did Joy eat her supper at last? ________________________________ 47. According to the passage, what is the writer’s advice to solve the problem? ________________________________ 48.

They should learn some basic life skills. 48. teenagers should learn to be independent instead of depending too much on their parents 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国青少年缺乏基本生活技能的现象。 【45题详解】 根据“They don’t know how to do housework”可知大多数中国青少年不知道如何做家务。故填No, they don’t. 【46题详解】 根据“At last she could only go to a restaurant to eat”可知Joy最后去餐馆吃了晚饭。故填She ate at a restaurant. 【47题详解】 根据“So I think teenagers should learn some basic life skills ”可知作者建议青少年学习基本生活技能。故填They should learn some basic life skills. 【48题详解】 文章主要讲述了现在很多青少年过于依赖父母，连基本生活技能都没有，所以结尾应围绕青少年要学会独立，不要过度依赖父母来写。“teenagers should learn to be independent instead of depending too much on their parents”符合文章主旨。故填teenagers should learn to be independent instead of depending too much on their parents。 Ⅶ.完成句子。(每空1分，共10分) 49.

In London you can travel around the city by subway, bus, taxi or private (私人的) car. The subway runs under the city. It goes to all parts of the city. Traveling by subway is the fastest way to get around the city. The second way to travel about the city is by bus. It is a slower way to travel. This is because the road traffic is always heavy. You can also travel around the city by taxi. This is very expensive, but the taxi will take you to the every place you want to go to. If traffic is heavy, the taxi will be slow. During the mornings and afternoons, there is the “rush hour”. The last way to get around London is using your own car. It is inconvenient (不方便的) if you are driving in the “rush hour”. If there is an accident on the road, you will have to wait for a long time. The best time to travel around the city is from 9am. to 4pm. This is the time after the morning “rush hour” and before the evening “rush hour”. Traffic will be less heavy during this time. 28. How many ways are there if you travel around London? A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six. 29. What is the fastest way to get around the London? A. Traveling by bike. B. Traveling by train. C. Traveling by subway. D. Traveling by bus. 30. What’s the advantage of traveling around London by taxi? A. It’s fast. B. You can go wherever you want to go. C. It’s cheap. D. You can visit the city easily. 31. The underline words “rush hour” mean ________. A. 缓冲期 B. 高峰期 C. 忙碌期 D. 冲刺期 D Eating less meat is becoming more common all over the world. In the US, for example, there is a campaign (运动) called Meatless Mondays. The idea is to have meatless meals every Monday. By the end of 2018, 230 middle and primary schools in the US had joined this campaign, according to Southern Weekly. These schools give students a vegetarian breakfast and lunch every Monday. How did Meatless Mondays become part of food culture in the West? The first reason is that it’s healthy. Many studies have shown that eating less meat is good for people’s health. “Vegetarian diets can lower the risk (风险) of fatness, heart disease (疾病) and cancer (癌症),” scientist Sharon Palmer told CNN. “Even going meatless one day a week can make a difference.” ▲ A study from Nature found that animal products (制品) create a lot of greenhouse gases (温室气体). 78 percent of total agricultural emissions (农业排放) are from them. If we eat less meat, it will be better for the environment. In March this year, New York Mayor Bill De Blasio said that all public schools in New York City would join the Meatless Mondays campaign. Joining the campaign, he said, will help us stay healthy and keep our planet green for the future. 32. The word “vegetarian” in paragraph 1 means ________. A. eating no vegetables B. eating only fruit C. eating more meat D. eating no meat 33. The Paragraph 2-3 mainly tell about ________. A. the history of food culture in the West B. some common diseases C. how much meat we need each day D. how eating less meat can help us 34. Which sentence can you put in ▲ ? A. Another reason is about eating habits. B. But it’s not only about health. C. Eating too much meat bring us health problems. D. That’s why this campaign is becoming popular. 35. You can find the article in ________. A. a newspaper B. a dictionary C. a history book D. a movie magazine E ①Do you often have a sound sleep? How often do you wake up at nights? Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night? If so, scientist may provide you with a good piece of advice—listen to some soft music. ②Scientists have found that soft music can help to improve sleep quality and quantity (量). This works for sleepers of all ages, and even for those with sleeping problems. So music can help us fall asleep better, wake up less during the night and feel more relaxed in the morning. You may not notice the effects (功效) overnight, though. It could take as many as 3 weeks to see any improvements. ③Why can soft music help us sleep better? The reasons aren’t clear yet. It may connect with the relaxing effect of a good song. Music can have real physical effects, too. Soft music can lower our heart rate (心率) and slow down our breathing. This prepares us for sleep. ④Scientists say that for most people, music that has 70 beats (节拍) per minute (bpm) works best. Classical, jazz and folk music usually make more differences than other musical styles. ⑤Familiar (熟悉的) songs work well, too. You may need to test to make your own playlists. If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute, you can find out by entering its title into www.songbpm.com. And remember to get volume (音量) right. Make sure that the final piece is gradually slowing down, or you may be woken up by the sudden silence. ⑥It’s very important to get enough high-quality sleep. Before you go to bed tonight, play some soft music. Then, just prepare to be rocked off to dreamland. 36. The writer leads in the passage mainly by _______. A. giving an example B. listing the numbers C. comparing two facts D. asking some questions 37. It is found that soft music could help _______. A. people with sleeping problems in one week B. people of all ages but not for the old C. people feel more relaxed just at night D. people improve sleeping situation slowly 38. Which of the following is RIGHT in paragraph 5? A. You may fall asleep easily by listening to different soft music. B. You can find out the beats of a song in a minute online. C. You won’t wake up by the sudden silence of a song. D. You needn’t choose soft music and make your own playlists. 39. The structure of the passage may be _______. A. B. C. D.
