For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word；for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Introduction to English as a Second Language Teacher’s Book One of the earliest-known inventions is the bow and arrow, which is still used throughout the world today, 15,000 years ____21____ it was first invented. Of course, these days, the bow and arrow ____22____ (use) mainly in sporting events, but in some places it is still a means of killing animals for food. In western Asia, another extremely important invention was born — the ability to produce pots. As long as 6500 years ago, people were producing pottery, mostly plain and without designs, but the technique has changed little since. Some people say that the wheel is the single most important invention. Early examples from about 5000 years ago have been found in the forests of Europe. Around 1500 years later, the Phoenicians used sand, limestone and sodium carbonate to produce ____23____ else which we would be lost without — glass. How many things do you lock with a key every day? Doors, cupboards? The car? We really don’t think much about them, ____24____ we? Well, the first example of a lock and key dates back to 2750 years ago, in Assyria. This is a lock on a large wooden door in the palace of Sargon II. Another amazing invention, which we probably take for granted these days, is the skill of knitting ____25____ first appeared in the Roman Empire, some 1700 years ago. The ____26____ (early) examples are knitted socks! Eye glasses developed from just one lens in a frame, like a simple magnifying glass, way back in the 13th century. In about 1290, the idea to put two lenses in a frame to sit on the nose was developed in Florence. And, believe it or not, the modern contact lens is 120 years old!  Time flies and we spend a lot of time ____27____ (check) how much time we have left! This would be impossible ____28____ clocks and watches, ____29____ are all around us: on walls, on our wrists, on our PCs, and even on our mobiles and iPods. The first pocket watch was invented by Thomas Tompion (1639-1714) in England 330 years ago, and his watch — face design, with two (and sometimes three) hands moving around a single dial, _____30_____ (remain) largely unchanged in all that time. Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A.empowers B.hands C.innovative D.mean E.prints F.notes G.shaving H.store I.tip J.traceable K.uneconomic The health food chain Tossed has just opened the UK’s firstcashless cafe.It’s another step towards the death of cash. This is nothing ___31___. Money is tech.The casting of coins made shells, whales’ teeth and other such primitive forms of money redundant (多余的). The printing press did the same for precious metals: we started using paper ___32___ instead. Electronic banking put paid to the cheque. Contactless payment is now doing the same to cash, which is becoming less and less convenient. In the marketplace convenience usually wins. In a world without cash, every payment you make will be ___33___. Do you want governments (which are not always benevolent), banks or payment processors to have potential access to that information? The power this ___34___ them is enormous and the potential scope for Orwellian levels of surveillance is terrifying. Cash, on the other hand, ___35___ its users. It enables them to buy and sell, and ___36___ their wealth, without being dependent on anyone else. They can stay outside the financial system, if so desired. Cash has its uses for small transactions — a chocolate bar, a newspaper, a pint of milk — which, in the UK, are still ___37___ to process by other means. It will always be the fastest and most direct form of payment there is. I like to ___38___ waiters, for example, in cash, knowing they will receive that money, without it being siphoned (转移) off by some ___39___ employer. I also like to shop in markets, where I can buy directly from the producer knowing they will receive the money, without middle men ____40____ off their percentages. Cash means total financial inclusion, a luxury the better-off take for granted. Without financial inclusion — and there will always be some who, for whatever reason, won’t have it — you are trapped in poverty. So beware the war on cash. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions：For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A，B，C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Fitness experts weigh in on whether it’s safe to skip this sometimes annoying step in your exercise routine. One of the most important steps in your fitness routine comes at the conclusion.Many know the importance of properly warming up and preparing to exercise,but experts say that incorporating a cool down routine is just as important.

Choose the one that fit s best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A James Cameron, writer-director-producer of best picture Oscar winner “Titanic” (1997), has again denied a claim perennially put forth by fans: that there was room for Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) to climb aboard the floating door holding Rose (Kate Winslet) and avoid death by hypothermia (低体温) following the shipwreck in the North Atlantic. Stating that “it says on page 147 [of the script] that Jack dies,” Cameron, 63, told Vanity Fair, “Obviously it was an artistic choice, [that] the thing was just big enough to hold her, and not big enough to hold him”. Finding it “silly, really, that we’re having this discussion 20 years later.” the filmmaker pointed out that, “Had he lived, the ending of the film would have been meaningless...So whether it was that, or whether a smokestack fell on him, he was going down.” He added he believed the physics were correct as well. “I was in the water with the piece of wood putting people on it for about two days getting it exactly buoyant (漂浮) enough so that it would support one person with full free-board, meaning that she wasn’t immersed at all in the 28 degree water, so that she could survive the three hours it took until the rescue ship got there. And we very, very finely tuned it to be exactly what you see in the movie because I believed at the time, and still do, that that’s what it would have taken for one person to survive.” Winslet and fellow “Titanic” star Kathy Bates suggest otherwise, with Bates at the SAG AFTRA Foundation 2nd Annual Patron of the Artists Awards on Nov.9 introducing Winslet by saying, “He lets go of her hand and sinks into the depth of the Atlantic. And I personally think that there was plenty of room on there!” Winslet agreed, telling the audience lightheartedly, “He could have fit on it! He could have fit on that door!” She similarly said on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in February 2016 that Jack “could have actually fitted on that bit of door.” As far back as 2012, Cameron toldIGN.com, “It’s not a question of room, it’s a question of buoyancy. It’s clear that there’s really only enough buoyancy available for one person. She’s completely out of the water on the raft, and if he got on with her, they’d both be half in and half out of the water...and they would have both died of hypothermia.” As well, he had told The Daily Beast in January, “You read page 147 of the script and it says,” Jack gets off the board and gives his place to her so that she can survive “It’s that simple”. Referring to a 2012 episode of Discovery’s “MythBusters” in which he gamely guest-starred, Cameron told the website, “You’re Jack, you’re in water that’s 28 degrees, your brain is starting to get hypothermia. ‘MythBusters’ asks you to now go take off your life vest, take hers off, swim underneath this thing, attach it in some way that it won’t just wash out two minutes later — which means you’re underwater tying this thing on in 28-degree water, and that’s going to take you five to 10 minutes, so by the time you come back up you’re already dead. So that wouldn’t work. His best choice was to keep his upper body out of the water and hope to get pulled out by a boat or something before he died.” 56. What question have the fans raised about the plot of the Titanic? A. They think the ending of the story was not good enough. B. They question the director’s level of direction. C. They oppose the separation of the hero and heroine. D. They believe that the hero has a chance of survival as well. 57. According to James Cameron, Jack should have been dead because . A. it comes up to the fans’ expectations B. the process the screenplay can be satisfied C. the true story that attracts more fans D. the core role of the film is the actress not the actor 58. Which of the following people hold(s) a different viewpoint of Jack’s life? A. Kathy Bates. B. Winslet. C. James Cameron. D. The fans. 59. According to the passage, which of the following is incorrect? A. According to the director, the hero is dead on page 147 of the script. B. If the hero were still alive, the ending of the movie would be meaningless. C. James Cameron attended the Foundation 2nd Annual Patron of the Artists Awards. D. Some fans don’t want to believe that the hero is dead in the movie. B When I became a budget traveler, I discovered some of the cheapest ways to travel around the world. Don’t let money problems stop you from traveling. Here are a few ways to travel cheap that can help you see the world on a budget. 1. Pay with points You’re smart enough to know money doesn’t grow on trees, but earning credit card points and miles may have you thinking otherwise. Figure out how much money you regularly spend, and consider making those purchases on a travel card, like the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card, so that you have the potential to be rewarded with points and miles every time you swipe. You can redeem (兑换) these rewards for airfare, hotels and other qualifying expenses. 2. Want to score even cheaper flights? You may want to subscribe to Scott’s Cheap Flights.This email newsletter alerts budget travelers when airlines hold sales or mistakenly lower their prices. In the past, Scott’s Cheap Rights has notified subscribers about amazing deals like a $260 flight from New York to Paris and a flight from San Francisco to Bali for $364. TheFlightDeal.com and SecretFlying.com are two more sites that may be able to help you find cheap flights, according to Nico Atienza, a front desk agent at the Travel Hacking Cartel. 3. Timing is everything It’s typically easier to find cheap flights when your travel schedule is flexible. Often, you’ll find the best deals when you travel in the middle of the week or take a red-eye flight overnight. If you’re prepared to face less-than-idyllic weather, you could save even more money on airfare and hotels by traveling during off-peak seasons. “The most important thing is to be flexible on timing”, says Atienza. “The tighter your time frame, the less chance you’re going to get a cheap fare”. It can also help to book early. 4. When you travel together, you can split the costs with your friends and family There’s something to be said about solo travel. But if you’re on a budget, you can split the costs of hotels and rental cars when you travel with a small group of friends or family.So don’t be shy about squeezing into a small motel room or renting an entire home on Airbnb if it’s less expensive per person. “The optimal party size tends to work out to be four people, ” says Atienza. Any more than that and the hotel might charge you for another room. You should also be able to fit about four people in your rental car, depending on the type of car you rent. 60 What is learned from the passage? A. The airfare from San Francisco to Bali is only $364. B. You may find cheap flights from TheFlightDeal. com and SecretFlying. com. C. The tighter your time frame, the more chance you’re going to get a cheap fare. D. Atienza believes that the optimal party size tends to work out to be three people. 61. According to this article, which of the following is NOT a way to get cheap airline tickets? A Redeem Points for Airline Tickets. B. Notice the airlines’ price reduction and discount emails. C. Choose off-season travel times. D. Split the costs with your friends and family. 62. This article is most likely to come from ______. A. a travel magazine B. a speech C. a promotion email D. a daily newspaper C The books we read when we’re young have a special sort of power: they can inspire us to be brave and resilient (Matilda by Roald Dahi)，take us on thrilling adventures (Divergent by Veronica Roth) and even introduce us to tragedy (The Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson). They’re as formative as anything else in our young lives, and sometimes they’re the first place we encounter larger-than-life ideas. Consider the lasting cultural import of To Kill a Mockingbird or even the urgency of a newer best seller like I’ll Give You the Sun, Jandy Nelson’s 2014 novel centering on a contradictory issue. In The Magic Words, Cheryl B. Klein, an executive editor at Scholastic whose projects include the last two Harry Potter books, sets out to inform would-be writers on how great novels for young readers work. The market for YA novels is booming: sales in the children’s and YA sector have been neck and neck with those of adult books in recent years, and adult authors, including Meg Wolitzer (Belzhar) and Carl Hiaasen (Razor Girl), are getting in on the phenomenon. Magic Words aims to be a master class. If you think it sounds silly, it isn’t. In the era of elevated self-help sensations like Marie Kondo and Breníé Brown, The Magic Words is of a piece. Klein deconstructs the seemingly obvious (clear plotlines, sympathetic characters) to reveal the technical intricacies of some beloved classics. L. M. Montgomery surely didn’t whip up Anne of Green Gables as a cash — in endeavor. But for those who want to capitalize, Anne is instructive: what’s timeless and broadly appealing about Anne — her teenage heart and impulses — is what to examine. Once you understand that Klein encourages you to get personal: What makes you ideal to write your story? And what does it mean to the reader? On the latter question, The Magic Words is more than a handbook. It is also a timely social commentary on the responsibility YA writers have to young adults. Those who write to a younger demographic must start with an awareness of their readers — not only their age but also how they might connect with the issues, both the mundane (bullies) and the cultural (tolerance) that characters face. The narratives we tell young readers can influence how they understand and value the world around them. The magic isn’t in the words: it’s in how the words come together to reflect and affirm the realities of a diverse young-adult experience. 63. According to the first paragraph, it can be learned that 　 　 . A. The Bridge to Terabithia can inspire us to be brave and resilient B. Matilda by Roald Dahi can take us on thrilling adventures C. Divergent by Veronica Roth even introduce us to tragedy D. To Kill a Mockingbird has lasting cultural significance 64. Which of the following is NOT true about YA novels? A. Anne is a master in the field YA novels. B. Sales in the children’s and YA sector have been neck and neck. C. Adult authors are getting in the field of YA novels. D. The market for YA novels is booming. 65. According to the text, The Magic Words is 　 . A. full of absurd plots and complex narrative structure B. one of the masterpieces of Klein C. not only a handbook but also a timely social commentary D. a novel composed of many letters 66. According to the last paragraph, those writers who write to a younger should 　 　 . A. find someone to sponsor their writing B. fully understand their readership first C. develop a strategy to meet the market D. copy the works of historical masters Directions：Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Coming soon to a cinema near you? Ticket prices shaped by demand Chances are that if you see just one film this year, you probably saw it already. The period between Christmas and Australia Day is typically the busiest and most competitive in our film calendar. But even when you arrive at a ticket counter at a quieter time of year you will usually pay the same price to see a film irrespective of its popularity, quality or budget size. ___67___ A new smart application means this will soon be a reality for some Australian consumers. Melbourne-based start up Choovie will launch a service offering demand-based ticket pricing to filmgoers at the end of March, with over 100 screens across metropolitan and regional venues in Victoria, NSW and ACT. ___68___ Choovie’s app will allow consumers to decide, within parameters set by the cinemas, what price they pay to see a film. For example, if you don’t want to pay more than $10 to see a particular title and are prepared to compromise on where and when you see it, the app will locate a suitable session for you. The emergence of apps such as Choovie is likely to shake up the film industry by fundamentally changing our experience of going to the movies. Dynamic (or demand) ticket pricing aims to change this. So how does dynamic pricing work? ___69___This depends on a number of demand variables, such as movie life cycle, time of day, day of the week, film title, venue, size of screen, actual bookings and so on. The number of seats in each price category for every film is based on demand conditions at the time of purchase. It works by using “pricing bots”, which adjust prices in real time according to rules set by the exhibitor and on the basis of information gathered about consumer preferences. Uber’s “surge pricing” is one example of dynamic pricing. Airline tickets are another. The idea is that instead of offering customers a limited number of ticket categories, the cinema sells each seat based on the individual customer’s willingness to pay. Patrons can choose screenings by specifying things such as the amount they are prepared to spend (say, under$10), the location of the cinema (no more than 10 km from home), the time of day (any time after 2pm) and so on. Conversely, cinemagoers should also be prepared to pay higher prices for films that are close to selling out in popular sessions. ___70___ It gives them the flexibility to respond to unexpected fluctuations in demand and encouraging their patrons to pre-purchase seats. And it benefits customers by simplifying the process of finding cheaper cinema tickets and guaranteeing them a reserved seat. A. The higher the price of film ticket is, the more popular it is among youngers. B. Imagine if you could instead pay less to see films that are not in high demand? C. One of the first cinema chains to take up this initiative is Dendy. More will follow. D. Dynamic ticket pricing relies on the quality and trend of the film, varying from one to another. E. Dynamic ticket pricing gives the consumer the ability to purchase film tickets at a wider range of prices. F. Dynamic pricing benefits cinemas by optimizing the price mix for every screening of every film. Summary Writing 71. Directions： Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Scientists Discover Animal Language It is human beings’ pride that we are the only species on the Planet that can speak and think. However, recent research cast doubt on that common belief. Zuberbuhler, a psychologist at St. Andrews University, and his colleagues recorded thousands of calls made by Diana monkeys and noticed that the monkeys adapted their calls to change the meaning to warn one another about different situations. For example, they made a ‘krack’ alarm call at the sight of tiger. However, when they merely repeated calls made by other monkeys they added an ‘oo’. The researchers found that the same calls would be recognised by other species, like Campbell’s monkeys. So they are communicating across species. “And since then we have found that hornbill birds can understand these calls and they too can understand all the different meanings”, said Zuberbuhler. What is also surprising is that signs of intelligence have been found in birds, whose small brains were long assumed to be a complete barrier to sentence. However, all is changing fast. A few years ago Irene Pepperberg of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology taught a parrot to recognise and count up to six objects and describe their shapes, which couldn’t have been achieved if birds were unable to memorize. Last year, that was topped by Alex Kacelnik, a professor of behavioral ecology at Oxford, who discovered that crows (乌鸦) are capable of using tools in complex orders, the first time such behaviour has been observed in non-humans. In an experiment seven crows successfully grabbed a piece of food placed out of reach using three different lengths of stick. Crucially, they were able to complete the task without any special training, suggesting the birds were capable of a level of abstract reasoning normally associated only with humans. All this is powerful evidence against the idea that people are unique. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Translation Directions： Translate the following sentences into English， using the words given in the brackets. 72. 你介意替我去参加会议吗？(substitute) （汉译英） 73. 为了让妈妈好好休息，小王把水槽和碗柜擦的干干净净。（in order) （汉译英） 74. 春暖花开的四月是欣赏这个南方小镇美景的最佳时机。（when) （汉译英） 75. 面对网店的挑战, 这个百年老店多措并举, 终于转危为机, 再创辉煌。（turn) （汉译英） Guided Writing 76.

Store’s address choosing and price fixing for chain supermarkets. D. The importance of display. 【答案】11. D 12. B 13. A 【解析】 【原文】Every year in the U.S. about 133 million pounds of food goes to waste. A lot of it is fruits and vegetables, like three legged carrots, and fought strawberries. They are deserted simply because they are not pretty enough to be displayed on store shelves. If you look at the big picture, about a third of the planet’s food goes to waste for the same reason. That’s enough to feed 2 billion people. Now, a company called Imperfect Me is trying to change that situation. The company collects ugly fruits and vegetables from farmers and markets and sells them to local residents at a deep discount. It can be 30 to 50% of the regular price. Similar campaigns are underway in places like Boston, as well as Portugal and the UK. For now, most chain supermarkets don’t carry ugly fruits and vegetables. But Steve Clark’s of Imperfect Me hopes the supermarkets will come around because customers want such food. He says it is really easy to convince people when they realize they can pay a lower price to get the same kind of taste and health. Questions: 1. According to the passage, for what reason is a third of the world’s food deserted? 2. What can be learned about the company Imperfect Me from the passage? 3. What is the passage mainly about? 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14. A 1 million. B. 1 billion. C. 10 million. D. 10 billion. 15. A. Planting a tree for every man，woman，and child. B.

The project is called the City of Trees. Project director Tony Brown explained that the green venture has three main aims. He said, one is to plant a tree for every man, woman, and child over the next decade. Next, we are very much focused on bringing existing woodland into management because it doesn’t make any sense to plant new woodland if you can’t manage what you’ve got already. Finally, we want to engage people a lot more in their natural environment that is implanting trees in managing areas. And in understanding more about the benefits that trees and woodlands bring to our society, Mr. Brown further outlined the reasons for the recently launched environmental project. He said our city wants to be a world class region. We have a lot of fantastic economic development going on, but the natural environment needs to keep up with that. He believes the project will reconnect people with trees and the natural world, provide benefits to health and reduce stress. He said “woodlands can do great things in terms of air pollution reduction and can help to protect against noise pollution. They can also help cities and towns reduce the urban heat island effect and flooding”. Questions 14. According to the passage, how many trees will be planted in all in the next decade? 15. According to the passage, which of the following is the main goal of the project? 16. According to Tony Brown, which of the following is a reason to launch the project? 听下面一段较长对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. A. It was stolen this morning. B. It has broken down for three days. C.

Introduction to English as a Second Language Teacher’s Book One of the earliest-known inventions is the bow and arrow, which is still used throughout the world today, 15,000 years ____21____ it was first invented. Of course, these days, the bow and arrow ____22____ (use) mainly in sporting events, but in some places it is still a means of killing animals for food. In western Asia, another extremely important invention was born — the ability to produce pots. As long as 6500 years ago, people were producing pottery, mostly plain and without designs, but the technique has changed little since. Some people say that the wheel is the single most important invention. Early examples from about 5000 years ago have been found in the forests of Europe. Around 1500 years later, the Phoenicians used sand, limestone and sodium carbonate to produce ____23____ else which we would be lost without — glass. How many things do you lock with a key every day? Doors, cupboards? The car? We really don’t think much about them, ____24____ we? Well, the first example of a lock and key dates back to 2750 years ago, in Assyria. This is a lock on a large wooden door in the palace of Sargon II. Another amazing invention, which we probably take for granted these days, is the skill of knitting ____25____ first appeared in the Roman Empire, some 1700 years ago. The ____26____ (early) examples are knitted socks! Eye glasses developed from just one lens in a frame, like a simple magnifying glass, way back in the 13th century. In about 1290, the idea to put two lenses in a frame to sit on the nose was developed in Florence. And, believe it or not, the modern contact lens is 120 years old!  Time flies and we spend a lot of time ____27____ (check) how much time we have left! This would be impossible ____28____ clocks and watches, ____29____ are all around us: on walls, on our wrists, on our PCs, and even on our mobiles and iPods. The first pocket watch was invented by Thomas Tompion (1639-1714) in England 330 years ago, and his watch — face design, with two (and sometimes three) hands moving around a single dial, _____30_____ (remain) largely unchanged in all that time. 【答案】21 after 22. is used 23. something 24. do 25. which##that 26. earliest 27. checking 28. without 29. which 30. has remained 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了人类发展史上一些重要的发明：弓箭、罐、车轮、玻璃、锁和钥匙、编织、眼镜和钟表。 【21题详解】 考查从属连词。句意：已知最早的发明之一是弓和箭，在其被发明15000年后的今天，仍然在世界各地使用。弓箭在发明之后，沿用至今，设空处应用从属连词after，引导时间状语从句。故填after。 【22题详解】 考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：当然，现在弓箭主要用于体育比赛，但在一些地方它仍然是一种猎杀动物的手段。设空处为谓语动词，根据时间状语these days以及后半句的时态，此处应用一般现在时态；动词use与逻辑主语the bow and arrow为动宾关系，应用被动语态；主语the bow and arrow说的是弓箭这个整体的意思，为单数，故be动词为is。故填is used。 【23题详解】 考查不定代词。句意：大约1500年后，腓尼基人用沙子、石灰石和碳酸钠制造出了别的我们不可或缺的东西——玻璃。设空处应填不定代词something，短语something else，意为“别的东西”符合句意。故填something。 【24题详解】 考查反义疑问句。句意：我们真的没怎么想过他们，不是吗？此处为反义疑问句，前半句中有don’t，为否定句，后面的附加问句应用肯定形式，助动词应用do。故填do。 【25题详解】 考查定语从句的关系代词。句意：另一项令人惊叹的发明，我们现在可能认为是理所当然的，就是编织技术，它首先出现在罗马帝国，大约1700年前。 the skill of knitting为先行词，为物，后接限制性定语从句，先行词在从句中作主语，设空处应用关系代词which或that。故填which/that。 【26题详解】 考查形容词最高级。句意：最早的例子是针织袜子！根据上一句“Another amazing invention, which we probably take for granted these days, is the skill of knitting 　　5　 first appeared in the Roman Empire, some 1700 years ago.(另一项令人惊叹的发明，我们现在可能认为是理所当然的，就是针织技术，它首先出现在罗马帝国，大约1700年前)”可知，“发明”应该是该物出现最早的时候，编织的手艺首次出现在1700年前的罗马帝国，最早的范例是织袜子。设空处前面的the，应与形容词最高级连用，early的最高级为earliest，作名词examples的前置定语。故填earliest。 27题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：时间飞逝，我们花了很多时间检查我们还剩下多少时间！此处涉及动词短语spend...doing...，意为“花……时间做……”，设空处应填动名词形式。故填checking。 【28题详解】 考查介词。句意：这一切都是不可能的，如果没有我们身边的钟表——它们在墙上，在我们的手腕上，在我们的电脑上，甚至在我们的手机和iPod上。句中的this指代的上一句内容we spend a lot of time checking how much time we have left，根据常识，查看时间需要用到时钟或者手表，没有时钟或手表将不可能查看时间，因此设空处应填介词without。故填without。 【29题详解】 考查非限定性定语从句的关系代词。句意：这一切都是不可能的，如果没有我们身边的钟表——它们在墙上，在我们的手腕上，在我们的电脑上，甚至在我们的手机和iPod上。clocks and watches为先行词，为物，后接非限制性定语从句，作从句的主语，应填关系代词which。故填which。 【30题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：330年前，英国的Thomas Tompion (1639-1714) 发明了第一块怀表，他的两根或三根指针围绕表盘运动的设计，一直以来基本没有改变。his watch-face design为主语，后接了介词短语作定语，设空处为谓语动词，时间状语in all that time，意为“一直以来”，表明：自从发明第一块怀表以来，设计一直保持不变的状态，可用现在完成时态；主语为第三人称单数，助动词用has。故填has remained。 Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

Cash means total financial inclusion, a luxury the better-off take for granted.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A， B， C and D. Choose the one that fit s best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A James Cameron, writer-director-producer of best picture Oscar winner “Titanic” (1997), has again denied a claim perennially put forth by fans: that there was room for Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) to climb aboard the floating door holding Rose (Kate Winslet) and avoid death by hypothermia (低体温) following the shipwreck in the North Atlantic. Stating that “it says on page 147 [of the script] that Jack dies,” Cameron, 63, told Vanity Fair, “Obviously it was an artistic choice, [that] the thing was just big enough to hold her, and not big enough to hold him”. Finding it “silly, really, that we’re having this discussion 20 years later.” the filmmaker pointed out that, “Had he lived, the ending of the film would have been meaningless...So whether it was that, or whether a smokestack fell on him, he was going down.” He added he believed the physics were correct as well. “I was in the water with the piece of wood putting people on it for about two days getting it exactly buoyant (漂浮) enough so that it would support one person with full free-board, meaning that she wasn’t immersed at all in the 28 degree water, so that she could survive the three hours it took until the rescue ship got there. And we very, very finely tuned it to be exactly what you see in the movie because I believed at the time, and still do, that that’s what it would have taken for one person to survive.” Winslet and fellow “Titanic” star Kathy Bates suggest otherwise, with Bates at the SAG AFTRA Foundation 2nd Annual Patron of the Artists Awards on Nov.9 introducing Winslet by saying, “He lets go of her hand and sinks into the depth of the Atlantic. And I personally think that there was plenty of room on there!” Winslet agreed, telling the audience lightheartedly, “He could have fit on it! He could have fit on that door!” She similarly said on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in February 2016 that Jack “could have actually fitted on that bit of door.” As far back as 2012, Cameron toldIGN.com, “It’s not a question of room, it’s a question of buoyancy. It’s clear that there’s really only enough buoyancy available for one person. She’s completely out of the water on the raft, and if he got on with her, they’d both be half in and half out of the water...and they would have both died of hypothermia.” As well, he had told The Daily Beast in January, “You read page 147 of the script and it says,” Jack gets off the board and gives his place to her so that she can survive “It’s that simple”. Referring to a 2012 episode of Discovery’s “MythBusters” in which he gamely guest-starred, Cameron told the website, “You’re Jack, you’re in water that’s 28 degrees, your brain is starting to get hypothermia. ‘MythBusters’ asks you to now go take off your life vest, take hers off, swim underneath this thing, attach it in some way that it won’t just wash out two minutes later — which means you’re underwater tying this thing on in 28-degree water, and that’s going to take you five to 10 minutes, so by the time you come back up you’re already dead. So that wouldn’t work. His best choice was to keep his upper body out of the water and hope to get pulled out by a boat or something before he died.” 56. What question have the fans raised about the plot of the Titanic? A. They think the ending of the story was not good enough. B. They question the director’s level of direction. C. They oppose the separation of the hero and heroine. D. They believe that the hero has a chance of survival as well. 57. According to James Cameron, Jack should have been dead because . A. it comes up to the fans’ expectations B. the process the screenplay can be satisfied C. the true story that attracts more fans D. the core role of the film is the actress not the actor 58. Which of the following people hold(s) a different viewpoint of Jack’s life? A. Kathy Bates. B. Winslet. C. James Cameron. D. The fans. 59. According to the passage, which of the following is incorrect? A. According to the director, the hero is dead on page 147 of the script. B. If the hero were still alive, the ending of the movie would be meaningless. C. James Cameron attended the Foundation 2nd Annual Patron of the Artists Awards. D. Some fans don’t want to believe that the hero is dead in the movie. 【答案】56. D 57. B 58. C 59. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了关于《泰坦尼克号》中杰克是否能活下来的争议。 【56题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Stating that “it says on page 147 [of the script] that Jack dies,” Cameron, 63, told Vanity Fair,  “Obviously it was an artistic choice,   [that] the thing was just big enough to hold her, and not big enough to hold him”. Finding it “silly, really, that we’re having this discussion 20 years later.” the filmmaker pointed out that, “Had he lived, the ending of the film would have been meaningless...So whether it was that, or whether a smokestack fell on him, he was going down.”(63岁的卡梅隆在接受《名利场》杂志采访时表示：“剧本147页上写着杰克去世的消息。很明显，这是一个艺术上的选择，这个东西只够容纳她，而不够容纳他。”发现这“很傻，真的，我们20年后才讨论这个问题”，电影制作人指出，“如果他还活着，电影的结局将毫无意义……。所以，不管是这样，还是一个烟囱压在他身上，他都要倒下了。”)”可推断，粉丝们对泰坦尼克号的情节提出的问题是：他们相信英雄也有生存的机会。故选D。 【57题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Stating that “it says on page 147 [of the script] that Jack dies,” Cameron, 63, told Vanity Fair,   “Obviously it was an artistic choice,   [that] the thing was just big enough to hold her, and not big enough to hold him”.(63岁的卡梅隆在接受《名利场》采访时说：“剧本第147页说杰克死了。很明显，这是一种艺术选择，它只够容纳她，而不够容纳他。”)”推知，根据James Cameron的说法，Jack应该已经死了，因为剧本的制作过程可以得到满足。故选B。 【58题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段前的“Winslet and fellow “Titanic” star Kathy Bates suggest otherwise, with Bates at the SAG AFTRA Foundation 2nd Annual Patron of the Artists Awards on Nov.9 introducing Winslet by saying, “He lets go of her hand and sinks into the depth of the Atlantic. And I personally think that there was plenty of room on there!” (温斯莱特和《泰坦尼克号》的演员凯西•贝茨则不这么认为。11月9日，贝茨在美国演员工会基金会(SAG AFTRA Foundation)第二届年度艺人奖颁奖典礼上介绍温斯莱特时说：“他松开了她的手，沉入了大西洋深处。我个人认为还有足够的空间!”)以及前文讲述影迷们对卡梅隆的质疑可知，Winslet和Kathy Bates也认为杰克有机会活下来。所以持有不同观点（认为杰克能活下来）的是除了James Cameron之外的其他人。故选C。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Winslet and fellow “Titanic” star Kathy Bates suggest otherwise, with Bates at the SAG AFTRA Foundation 2nd Annual Patron of the Artists Awards on Nov.9 introducing Winslet by saying, “He lets go of her hand and sinks into the depth of the Atlantic.(温斯莱特和《泰坦尼克号》的另一位主演凯西•贝茨则不这么认为。贝茨在11月9日举行的美国演员工会AFTRA基金会第二届年度艺术家奖颁奖典礼上介绍温丝莱特时说：他放开了她的手，沉入了大西洋的深处)”可知，Winslet和Kathy Bates出席了基金会第二届年度资助艺术家奖，但并没有说Cameron去了，所以C选项表述错误。故选C。 B When I became a budget traveler, I discovered some of the cheapest ways to travel around the world. Don’t let money problems stop you from traveling. Here are a few ways to travel cheap that can help you see the world on a budget. 1. Pay with points You’re smart enough to know money doesn’t grow on trees, but earning credit card points and miles may have you thinking otherwise. Figure out how much money you regularly spend, and consider making those purchases on a travel card, like the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card, so that you have the potential to be rewarded with points and miles every time you swipe. You can redeem (兑换) these rewards for airfare, hotels and other qualifying expenses. 2. Want to score even cheaper flights? You may want to subscribe to Scott’s Cheap Flights.This email newsletter alerts budget travelers when airlines hold sales or mistakenly lower their prices. In the past, Scott’s Cheap Rights has notified subscribers about amazing deals like a $260 flight from New York to Paris and a flight from San Francisco to Bali for $364. TheFlightDeal.com and SecretFlying.com are two more sites that may be able to help you find cheap flights, according to Nico Atienza, a front desk agent at the Travel Hacking Cartel. 3. Timing is everything It’s typically easier to find cheap flights when your travel schedule is flexible. Often, you’ll find the best deals when you travel in the middle of the week or take a red-eye flight overnight. If you’re prepared to face less-than-idyllic weather, you could save even more money on airfare and hotels by traveling during off-peak seasons. “The most important thing is to be flexible on timing”, says Atienza. “The tighter your time frame, the less chance you’re going to get a cheap fare”. It can also help to book early. 4. When you travel together, you can split the costs with your friends and family There’s something to be said about solo travel. But if you’re on a budget, you can split the costs of hotels and rental cars when you travel with a small group of friends or family.So don’t be shy about squeezing into a small motel room or renting an entire home on Airbnb if it’s less expensive per person. “The optimal party size tends to work out to be four people, ” says Atienza. Any more than that and the hotel might charge you for another room. You should also be able to fit about four people in your rental car, depending on the type of car you rent. 60. What is learned from the passage? A. The airfare from San Francisco to Bali is only $364. B. You may find cheap flights from TheFlightDeal. com and SecretFlying. com. C. The tighter your time frame, the more chance you’re going to get a cheap fare. D. Atienza believes that the optimal party size tends to work out to be three people. 61. According to this article, which of the following is NOT a way to get cheap airline tickets? A. Redeem Points for Airline Tickets. B. Notice the airlines’ price reduction and discount emails. C. Choose off-season travel times. D. Split the costs with your friends and family. 62. This article is most likely to come from ______. A. a travel magazine B. a speech C. a promotion email D. a daily newspaper 【答案】60. B 61. D 62. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲的是一些省钱旅行的方法，可以帮助你省钱看世界。 【60题详解】 细节理解题。根据Want to score even cheaper flights? 部分中“TheFlightDeal.com and SecretFlying.com are two more sites that may be able to help you find cheap flights(TheFlightDeal.com和SecretFlying.com是两个可能帮助你找到廉价航班的网站)”可知，可以从TheFlightDeal.com和SecretFlying.com找到廉价航班。故选B。 【61题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章Pay with points部分中“You can redeem (兑换) these rewards for airfare (你可以用这些奖励来兑换机票)”以及Want to score even cheaper flights? 部分中“This email newsletter alerts budget travelers when airlines hold sales or mistakenly lower their prices (当航空公司进行促销或错误地降低价格时，这封电子邮件新闻简报会提醒预算有限的旅行者)”以及Timing is everything部分中“If you’re prepared to face less-than-idyllic weather, you could save even more money on airfare and hotels by traveling during off-peak seasons. (如果你准备面对不太理想的天气，你可以在淡季旅行，从而在机票和酒店上节省更多的钱。)”可知，A、B、C三项均是获得廉价机票的方式，而D项“Split the costs with your friends and family.(与你的朋友和家人分担费用)”并未在文中提及为获得廉价机票的方式，因此D项错误。故选D。 【62题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章主要介绍了几种节约旅行费用的方法，包括使用积分兑换、订阅廉价航班提醒、选择灵活的旅行时间和与朋友家人分担费用等，这些内容更符合旅游杂志的风格，因此文章最可能来自旅游杂志。故选A。 C The books we read when we’re young have a special sort of power: they can inspire us to be brave and resilient (Matilda by Roald Dahi)，take us on thrilling adventures (Divergent by Veronica Roth) and even introduce us to tragedy (The Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson). They’re as formative as anything else in our young lives, and sometimes they’re the first place we encounter larger-than-life ideas. Consider the lasting cultural import of To Kill a Mockingbird or even the urgency of a newer best seller like I’ll Give You the Sun, Jandy Nelson’s 2014 novel centering on a contradictory issue. In The Magic Words, Cheryl B. Klein, an executive editor at Scholastic whose projects include the last two Harry Potter books, sets out to inform would-be writers on how great novels for young readers work. The market for YA novels is booming: sales in the children’s and YA sector have been neck and neck with those of adult books in recent years, and adult authors, including Meg Wolitzer (Belzhar) and Carl Hiaasen (Razor Girl), are getting in on the phenomenon. Magic Words aims to be a master class. If you think it sounds silly, it isn’t. In the era of elevated self-help sensations like Marie Kondo and Breníé Brown, The Magic Words is of a piece. Klein deconstructs the seemingly obvious (clear plotlines, sympathetic characters) to reveal the technical intricacies of some beloved classics. L. M. Montgomery surely didn’t whip up Anne of Green Gables as a cash — in endeavor. But for those who want to capitalize, Anne is instructive: what’s timeless and broadly appealing about Anne — her teenage heart and impulses — is what to examine. Once you understand that Klein encourages you to get personal: What makes you ideal to write your story? And what does it mean to the reader? On the latter question, The Magic Words is more than a handbook. It is also a timely social commentary on the responsibility YA writers have to young adults. Those who write to a younger demographic must start with an awareness of their readers — not only their age but also how they might connect with the issues, both the mundane (bullies) and the cultural (tolerance) that characters face. The narratives we tell young readers can influence how they understand and value the world around them. The magic isn’t in the words: it’s in how the words come together to reflect and affirm the realities of a diverse young-adult experience. 63. According to the first paragraph, it can be learned that 　 　 . A. The Bridge to Terabithia can inspire us to be brave and resilient B. Matilda by Roald Dahi can take us on thrilling adventures C. Divergent by Veronica Roth even introduce us to tragedy D. To Kill a Mockingbird has lasting cultural significance 64. Which of the following is NOT true about YA novels? A. Anne is a master in the field YA novels. B. Sales in the children’s and YA sector have been neck and neck. C. Adult authors are getting in the field of YA novels. D. The market for YA novels is booming. 65. According to the text, The Magic Words is 　 . A. full of absurd plots and complex narrative structure B. one of the masterpieces of Klein C. not only a handbook but also a timely social commentary D. a novel composed of many letters 66. According to the last paragraph, those writers who write to a younger should 　 　 . A. find someone to sponsor their writing B. fully understand their readership first C. develop a strategy to meet the market D. copy the works of historical masters 【答案】63. D 64. A 65. C 66. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。主要写了青少年小说的市场正蓬勃发展，和作家对年轻人的责任。 【63题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Consider the lasting cultural import of To Kill a Mockingbird or even the urgency of a newer best seller like I’ll Give You the Sun, Jandy Nelson’s 2014 novel centering on a contradictory issue.(想想《杀死一只知更鸟》的持久文化意义，甚至是像《我会给你太阳》这样一本更新的畅销书的紧迫性，Jandy Nelson 2014年的小说围绕着一个矛盾的问题展开)”可知，《杀死一只知更鸟》有经久不衰的文化意义。故选D。 【64题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The market for YA novels is booming: sales in the children’s and YA sector have been neck and neck with those of adult books in recent years, and adult authors, including Meg Wolitzer (Belzhar) and Carl Hiaasen (Razor Girl), are getting in on the phenomenon.(青少年小说的市场正在蓬勃发展：近年来，儿童和青少年小说的销量与成人书籍的销量不相上下，成人作家，包括Meg Wolitzer（Belzhar的作者）和Carl Hiaasen（Razor Girl的作者），都在利用这一现象)”可知，青少年小说的市场正蓬勃发展，近年来青少年小说在儿童和青少年领域销售与成年书籍不相上下，一些成年人作家也加入这些行列，A项“Anne是青少年小说领域的大师”是不正确的。故选A。 【65题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“On the latter question, The Magic Words is more than a handbook. It is also a timely social commentary on the responsibility YA writers have to young adults.(关于后一个问题，The Magic Words不仅仅是一本手册。这也是对青少年作家对年轻人的责任的及时社会评论)”可知，The Magic Words不仅是一本手册，这也是一篇及时的社会评论。故选C。 【66题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Those who write to a younger demographic must start with an awareness of their readers —not only their age but also how they might connect with the issues, both the mundane (bullies) and the cultural (tolerance) that characters face.(那些给年轻人写信的人必须从了解他们的读者开始——不仅要了解他们的年龄，还要了解他们如何与这些问题联系起来，无论是世俗的（欺凌）还是人物所面临的文化（宽容）)”可知，给年轻读者写书的人必须首先了解他们的读者。故选B。 Directions：Read the following passage.Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Coming soon to a cinema near you? Ticket prices shaped by demand Chances are that if you see just one film this year, you probably saw it already. The period between Christmas and Australia Day is typically the busiest and most competitive in our film calendar. But even when you arrive at a ticket counter at a quieter time of year you will usually pay the same price to see a film irrespective of its popularity, quality or budget size. ___67___ A new smart application means this will soon be a reality for some Australian consumers. Melbourne-based start up Choovie will launch a service offering demand-based ticket pricing to filmgoers at the end of March, with over 100 screens across metropolitan and regional venues in Victoria, NSW and ACT. ___68___ Choovie’s app will allow consumers to decide, within parameters set by the cinemas, what price they pay to see a film. For example, if you don’t want to pay more than $10 to see a particular title and are prepared to compromise on where and when you see it, the app will locate a suitable session for you. The emergence of apps such as Choovie is likely to shake up the film industry by fundamentally changing our experience of going to the movies. Dynamic (or demand) ticket pricing aims to change this. So how does dynamic pricing work? ___69___This depends on a number of demand variables, such as movie life cycle, time of day, day of the week, film title, venue, size of screen, actual bookings and so on. The number of seats in each price category for every film is based on demand conditions at the time of purchase. It works by using “pricing bots”, which adjust prices in real time according to rules set by the exhibitor and on the basis of information gathered about consumer preferences. Uber’s “surge pricing” is one example of dynamic pricing. Airline tickets are another. The idea is that instead of offering customers a limited number of ticket categories, the cinema sells each seat based on the individual customer’s willingness to pay. Patrons can choose screenings by specifying things such as the amount they are prepared to spend (say, under$10), the location of the cinema (no more than 10 km from home), the time of day (any time after 2pm) and so on. Conversely, cinemagoers should also be prepared to pay higher prices for films that are close to selling out in popular sessions. ___70___ It gives them the flexibility to respond to unexpected fluctuations in demand and encouraging their patrons to pre-purchase seats. And it benefits customers by simplifying the process of finding cheaper cinema tickets and guaranteeing them a reserved seat. A. The higher the price of film ticket is, the more popular it is among youngers. B. Imagine if you could instead pay less to see films that are not in high demand? C. One of the first cinema chains to take up this initiative is Dendy. More will follow. D. Dynamic ticket pricing relies on the quality and trend of the film, varying from one to another. E. Dynamic ticket pricing gives the consumer the ability to purchase film tickets at a wider range of prices. F. Dynamic pricing benefits cinemas by optimizing the price mix for every screening of every film. 【答案】67. B 68. C 69. E 70. F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者介绍了一个应用程序，可以帮助电影院实施动态票价，使影院和消费者都可受益。 【67题详解】 根据前文“Chances are that if you see just one film this year, you probably saw it already. The period between Christmas and Australia Day is typically the busiest and most competitive in our film calendar. But even when you arrive at a ticket counter at a quieter time of year you will usually pay the same price to see a film irrespective of its popularity, quality or budget size. (如果你今年只看一部电影，你可能已经看过了。圣诞节和澳大利亚日之间的这段时间通常是我们电影日历上最繁忙、最具竞争力的时期。但即使你在一年中比较安静的时候到达售票处，你通常也会花同样的价格去看一部影片，无论它的受欢迎程度、质量或预算大小)”及后句“A new smart application means this will soon be a reality for some Australian consumers. (一个新的智能应用程序意味着这将很快成为一些澳大利亚消费者的现实)”可知，本段在讲述看电影及电影票价的话题，后一段介绍一个新的智能应用程序，这个智能应用程序可以让你花更少的钱去看需求不高的电影。由此可知，B. Imagine if you could instead pay less to see films that are not in high demand? (想象一下，如果你能花更少的钱去看需求不高的电影)承前启后，符合语境。故选B。 【68题详解】 根据上文“Melbourne-based start up Choovie will launch a service offering demand-based ticket pricing to filmgoers at the end of March, with over 100 screens across metropolitan and regional venues in Victoria, NSW and ACT. (总部位于墨尔本的初创公司Choovie将于3月底推出一项服务，为电影观众提供基于需求的票价，在维多利亚州、新南威尔士州和澳大利亚首都直辖区的大都市和地区场馆拥有100多个屏幕)”可知，Choovie 公司推出了一项基于观众需求的确定票价的服务。由此可知，C. One of the first cinema chains to take up this initiative is Dendy. More will follow. (Dendy公司是最早采取这一举措的连锁影院之一。接下来还会有更多)符合语境，举例说明影院对该公司这款服务的反应。故选C。 【69题详解】 根据小标题“So how does dynamic pricing work(那么，动态定价是如何运作的呢)”以及后文“This depends on a number of demand variables, such as movie life cycle, time of day, day of the week, film title, venue, size of screen, actual bookings and so on.The number of seats in each price category for every film is based on demand conditions at the time of purchase(这取决于许多需求变量，如电影生命周期、一天中的时间、一周中的哪一天、电影名称、场地、屏幕大小、实际预订等。每部电影在每个价格类别中的座位数量取决于购买时的需求条件)”可知，本段主要解释动态票价的操作过程及依据。由此可知，E. Dynamic ticket pricing gives the consumer the ability to purchase film tickets at a wider range of prices.(动态票价使消费者能够以更广范围的价格购买电影票)符合语境。故选E。 【70题详解】 根据后文“It gives them the flexibility to respond to unexpected fluctuations in demand and encouraging their patrons to pre-purchase seats.(它使他们能够灵活应对需求的意外波动，并鼓励顾客预购座位) ”可知，动态票价的实施给电影院带来的便利，由此可知，F. Dynamic pricing benefits cinemas by optimizing the price mix for every screening of every film.(动态定价通过优化每部电影每次放映的价格组合，使影院受益)符合语境，空后句子中的them指代F项中的cinemas。故选F。 Summary Writing 71. Directions： Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Scientists Discover Animal Language It is human beings’ pride that we are the only species on the Planet that can speak and think. However, recent research cast doubt on that common belief. Zuberbuhler, a psychologist at St. Andrews University, and his colleagues recorded thousands of calls made by Diana monkeys and noticed that the monkeys adapted their calls to change the meaning to warn one another about different situations. For example, they made a ‘krack’ alarm call at the sight of tiger. However, when they merely repeated calls made by other monkeys they added an ‘oo’. The researchers found that the same calls would be recognised by other species, like Campbell’s monkeys. So they are communicating across species. “And since then we have found that hornbill birds can understand these calls and they too can understand all the different meanings”, said Zuberbuhler. What is also surprising is that signs of intelligence have been found in birds, whose small brains were long assumed to be a complete barrier to sentence. However, all is changing fast. A few years ago Irene Pepperberg of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology taught a parrot to recognise and count up to six objects and describe their shapes, which couldn’t have been achieved if birds were unable to memorize. Last year, that was topped by Alex Kacelnik, a professor of behavioral ecology at Oxford, who discovered that crows (乌鸦) are capable of using tools in complex orders, the first time such behaviour has been observed in non-humans. In an experiment seven crows successfully grabbed a piece of food placed out of reach using three different lengths of stick. Crucially, they were able to complete the task without any special training, suggesting the birds were capable of a level of abstract reasoning normally associated only with humans. All this is powerful evidence against the idea that people are unique. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】It may be surprising that scientists have discovered signs of language and intelligence in monkeys and birds. Some monkeys can communicate various meanings with different calls, which are across species. Some birds, like parrot and crows, have the ability to recognize and reason. So language and intelligence are not unique to humans. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家在猴子和鸟类身上发现了语言和智力的迹象，挑战了“人类是唯一会说话、会思考的物种”的传统观点。科学家研究发现有些猴子可以通过不同的叫声传达不同的意思，这是跨物种的。有些鸟，比如鹦鹉和乌鸦，有识别和推理的能力。 【详解】1. 要点摘录 ①Human beings take pride in the fact that we are the only species on the Planet that can speak and think. However, recent research cast doubt on that common belief. ②The monkeys adapted their calls to change the meaning to warn one another about different situations. And they are communicating across species. ③It is surprising that signs of intelligence have been found in birds, whose small brains were long assumed to be a complete barrier to sentence.. ④Evidence disproves human uniqueness in intelligence/communication. 2. 缜密构思 将第1、3两个要点进行重组，将第2、3两个要点进行整合。 3. 遣词造句 It may be wrong that if you think we human beings are the only species on the Planet that can speak and think. Monkeys adapt calls for specific warnings and the warnings would be recognised by other species, like Campbell’s monkeys. Birds show advanced abilities of memorizing, tool use, and reasoning. Evidence disproves human exclusivity in intelligence/communication. 【点睛】【高分句型1】It may be surprising that scientists have discovered signs of language and intelligence in monkeys and birds. 运用一个主从复合句对原文第一段至第五段内容进行了概括。其中It为形式主语，that引导主语从句。 【高分句型2】 Some monkeys can communicate various meanings with different calls, which are across species. 概括了第二、三段内容，运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句。 【高分句型3】Some birds, like parrot and crows, have the ability to recognize and reason. 对第四、五段进行了概括，使用了动词不定式短语作后置定语。 Translation Directions： Translate the following sentences into English， using the words given in the brackets. 72. 你介意替我去参加会议吗？(substitute) （汉译英） 【答案】Would you mind my substituting for you to attend the meeting? 【解析】 【详解】考查短语。结合句意，表示委婉的请求用“would you mind...”，“介意某人做某事”表达为mind sb. doing sth.，“代替……”表达为substitute for，此处应用其动名词形式，“参加会议”表达为 attend the meeting 作目的状语用不定式形式。结合其他汉语提示，故翻译为Would you mind my substituting for you to attend the meeting? 73. 为了让妈妈好好休息，小王把水槽和碗柜擦的干干净净。（in order) （汉译英） 【答案】In order to make his mother have a good rest, Xiao Wang cleaned the sink and cupboard. /In order for his mom to have a good rest, Xiao Wang cleaned up the sink and cupboard. 【解析】 【详解】考查短语和时态。句子陈述过去的事实，应用一般过去时；“为了让妈妈好好休息”处理为目的状语，“为了让某人做某事”表达为in order for sb. to do sth.，“好好休息”have a good rest；目的状语还可处理为：“为了”表达为in order to，“让某人做某事”表达为make sb. do sth.，；“清洗”表达为clean up，作谓语，“水槽和碗柜”表达为sink and cupboard，此处特指小王家的，用定冠词修饰。结合其他汉语提示，故翻译为In order to make his mother have a good rest, Xiao Wang cleaned the sink and cupboard.或In order for his mom to have a good rest, Xiao Wang cleaned up the sink and cupboard. 74. 春暖花开的四月是欣赏这个南方小镇美景的最佳时机。（when) （汉译英） 【答案】April when the spring flowers bloom is the perfect time (the optimum/ optimal time) to enjoy the beauty of this southern town.
