While getting into Harvard Law School is never easy for anyone, Rehan, whose single-parent family was poor, made it by himself.
Rehan lived through years of family struggles, poverty, and unfairness. He saw his father do several jobs to raise his brother and him with little rest and food. Rehan admitted he was pained and “hungry for more”. Life taught him the value of hard work and self-improvement at a very young age.
Those hard times tested the family as a whole. The more stressed Rehan was, the worse his grades became. His father told him to learn to relax by exercising. With a different purpose, he channeled his energy into sports, which he hoped would become his way out of a poor life.
However things didn’t go that way. His father was in bad physical condition and then Rehan had to take a job at Bates Trucking & Trash Removal. He was smart and worked harder than any others. His co-workers spoke highly of him and tried to persuade him to go back to school. One of the company owners even helped him enroll (注册) at Bowie State University. Rehan earned a 4. 0 grade point average and was able to transfer to the University of Maryland. But Rehan’s struggles still weren’t over. During his junior year at the University of Maryland, his father suffered a stroke (中风). Instead of dropping out of school, Rehan returned to Bates Trucking & Trash Removal in order to save his father. He got up each day at 3 am to work before class and doubled his learning plans. Finally, he graduated with good grades. Moreover, he began applying to Harvard Law School and made it.
With a sick father, a younger brother, a hard job, and a little time to learn, Rehan just had his own painful story to stand on. “Yes, Rehan has a quick mind, but what makes his achievement even more admirable is his courageous journey to this moment,” said his professor.
24. What does the author mean by saying “hungry for more” in Paragraph 2?
A. Rehan was pained due to the lack of food.
B. Rehan wanted to get along well with his father.
C. Sufferings made Rehan more determined to fight.
D. Unlucky experience taught Rehan to take things easy.
25. Why did Rehan go into sports?
A. He wished to change his life. B. He found his talent for sports.
C. He wanted to improve his mood. D. He tried to develop new hobbies.
26. What happened after Rehan went to work?
A. His father’s health gradually improved. B. He was refused by Bowie State University.
C. He could continue his study with others’ help. D. His co-workers found the job difficult for him.
27. Which of the following can best describe Rehan’s days in college?
A. Colourful but busy. B. Fresh and relaxing.
C. Adventurous and funny. D. Challenging but rewarding.

“All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. ” But now scientists have given us an other warning: too much play with smart phones or computers makes you dull too.
“Many focus on the benefits of digital devices (设备) in education but ignore the costs”, said Patricia Greenfield from the University of California, “losing the ability to understand the emotions of other people is one of the costs.” Greenfield and her research team did an experiment. They worked with 105 children who spend about 4. 5 hours in front of screens on a school day. The students were asked to describe the emotions towards the pictures of people who were happy, sad, angry or scared. Then, half of them attended a five-day nature and science camp. There they had no smart phones, TV, or computers. The other half stayed in school and spent the five days as usual. Five days later, all the children took the test again.
Students who had been to the camp got about 5 percent more answers correct than they had done before the camp. But the other group of students didn’t show much improvement. The study is not perfect in some ways, said the researchers. But the result is still a warning for us, so scientists say we should stay alert for it.
“Emotional skills develop in practice and the brain develops through real interaction. ” said Professor Taylor, a professor at the University of San Francisco.
Researchers talked to 2, 000 parents of children aged 2-16 in the UK about what activities their children could do confidently. The results were surprising: Their children could use a tablet (平板电脑) (59%)and work a mobile phone (57%) more confidently than they could tie their shoe laces (鞋带) (53%)! So, spend more time away from mobile phones and computers if you want to be an understanding friend, and not a member of what the Daily Mail called “Generation Helpless”.
28. According to Professor Greenfield, using digital media in education leads to ________.
A. failing to read other people’s emotions B. making more mistakes when taking exams
C. falling far behind others in all schoolwork D. being on bad terms with family members
29. What does the underlined word “alert” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Calm. B. Relaxed. C. Satisfied. D. Alarmed.
30. What can we know from the text?
A. Most of the UK children couldn’t tie their shoe laces.
B. Too much play with digital devices raised some worries.
C. Students living without screens did much better in studies.
D. Students learned how to describe emotions in the experiment.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Stay away from the Internet. B. Here comes a digital world.
C Emotions can be understood. D. Screens harm emotion understanding.
D
Not only does the use of plastic water bottles hurt your wallet, but it also causes pollution, wastes energy, and surprisingly wastes water. Only 23% of the plastic in America ends up in recycling bins, meaning over $1 billion worth of plastic is treated as rubbish a year. Recently, Skipping Rocks Lab has invented a kind of water bottle called Ooho.
Ooho is designed for large outdoor events where a large number plastic bottles are used and frequently left behind as litter. It’s a kind of convenient, clear water bottle that can either be drunk or eaten. To drink it, you can either get rid of the membrane (膜) or tear a hole in the membrane with your teeth to pour the water into your mouth. To eat it, you simply put the whole bottle in your mouth. It’s completely tasteless so you needn’t worry about any taste.
It aims for large outdoor events where tons of plastic bottles are used and frequently left behind as litter. Too much plastic is sure to do harm to the environment, which could account for the purpose of such a new invention.
The team has been working for the past two years to develop the technology and materials that are needed to produce Ooho. The price for an only bubble (泡状物) or a unit of bubbles has not been decided yet, but it costs about two cent to create a unit, which is cheaper than plastic bottles. The team has also been selling Ooho water bottles in London for the past six months.
Ooho is catching many people’s attention and has raised over $1 million in only three days. It’s mostly being sold at events at the moment to interest the buyers while the production machine is getting up and running. It’s quickly making a rise, so keep an eye out for these bottles of the future.
32. How is most plastic in America dealt with?
A. It is reused as new energy. B. It is buried under the ground.
C. It is thrown away as rubbish. D. It is applied to new technology.
33. What can we know about the Ooho?
A. It plans to be sold at a very low price.
B. It has some advantages over plastic bottles.
C. Suitable materials of making Ooho are hard to find.
D. Most people in London use Ooho instead of plastic bottles.
34. What’s the author’s attitude towards Ooho’s future?
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Uninterested. D. Worried.
35. Who is probably the article written for?
A. Scientists. B. Experts. C. Environmentalists. D. The public.

The Power of Releasing Worry
We all worry. It’s a common feeling. We know worry does little good. It doesn’t solve problems but causes discomfort. Yet, it seems to stick to us. ____36____ Here are some ideas to help you worry less.
Firstly, worry wastes our imagination. When we worry, we often think of bad things that might never happen. It’s not like problem-solving. Problem-solving is calm and logical. Worry is just nervousness. For example, if you worry about a test, you might imagine failing. But that doesn’t help. Instead, you should focus on preparing, which is practical. ____37____

Worry can stop you from reaching your goals and enjoying life.
____39____ When you feel worried, take slow, deep breaths. It helps you relax and think clearly. Also, take small actions. Even a little progress can reduce worry. For instance, if you worry about a project, start by making a simple plan. That gives you control and relaxes your mind. The key is to direct your attention to positive actions.
In short, worry can be a lot of trouble. ____40____ By understanding its harm and learning to let go, we can live happier and more successful lives.
A. Lastly, the solution to worry is to stay present.
B. It’s important to see the difference between worrying and problem-solving.
C. If you worry about losing, you won’t play well.

While getting into Harvard Law School is never easy for anyone, Rehan, whose single-parent family was poor, made it by himself.
Rehan lived through years of family struggles, poverty, and unfairness. He saw his father do several jobs to raise his brother and him with little rest and food. Rehan admitted he was pained and “hungry for more”. Life taught him the value of hard work and self-improvement at a very young age.
Those hard times tested the family as a whole. The more stressed Rehan was, the worse his grades became. His father told him to learn to relax by exercising. With a different purpose, he channeled his energy into sports, which he hoped would become his way out of a poor life.
However, things didn’t go that way. His father was in bad physical condition and then Rehan had to take a job at Bates Trucking & Trash Removal. He was smart and worked harder than any others. His co-workers spoke highly of him and tried to persuade him to go back to school. One of the company owners even helped him enroll (注册) at Bowie State University. Rehan earned a 4. 0 grade point average and was able to transfer to the University of Maryland. But Rehan’s struggles still weren’t over. During his junior year at the University of Maryland, his father suffered a stroke (中风). Instead of dropping out of school, Rehan returned to Bates Trucking & Trash Removal in order to save his father. He got up each day at 3 am to work before class and doubled his learning plans. Finally, he graduated with good grades. Moreover, he began applying to Harvard Law School and made it.
With a sick father, a younger brother, a hard job, and a little time to learn, Rehan just had his own painful story to stand on. “Yes, Rehan has a quick mind, but what makes his achievement even more admirable is his courageous journey to this moment,” said his professor.
24. What does the author mean by saying “hungry for more” in Paragraph 2?
A. Rehan was pained due to the lack of food.
B. Rehan wanted to get along well with his father.
C. Sufferings made Rehan more determined to fight.

C. He wanted to improve his mood. D. He tried to develop new hobbies.
26. What happened after Rehan went to work?
A. His father’s health gradually improved. B. He was refused by Bowie State University.
C. He could continue his study with others’ help. D. His co-workers found the job difficult for him.
27. Which of the following can best describe Rehan’s days in college?

【答案】24. C 25. A 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了主人公Rehan克服家庭困难,通过努力进入哈佛法学院的故事。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Rehan lived through years of family struggles, poverty, and unfairness. He saw his father do several jobs to raise his brother and him with little rest and food. Rehan admitted he was pained and “hungry for more”. Life taught him the value of hard work and self-improvement at a very young age.( Rehan经历了多年的家庭斗争、贫困和不公平。他看到他的父亲做几份工作来抚养他和他的兄弟,几乎没有休息和食物。Rehan承认他很痛苦,“渴望得到更多”。在他很小的时候,生活就教会了他努力工作和自我完善的价值)”可知,Rehan经历了家庭的挣扎、贫困和不公,生活的苦难让他意识到努力工作和自我提升的价值,所以“hungry for more”意思是苦难让他更有决心去奋斗。故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“His father told him to learn to relax by exercising. With a different purpose, he channeled his energy into sports, which he hoped would become his way out of a poor life.( 他父亲告诉他要学会通过锻炼来放松。带着不同的目的,他把自己的精力投入到体育运动中,他希望这能成为他摆脱贫困生活的途径)”可知,Rehan从事体育运动是希望这能成为他摆脱贫困生活的途径,即他希望通过运动改变自己的人生。故选A项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“His co-workers spoke highly of him and tried to persuade him to go back to school. One of the company owners even helped him enroll (注册) at Bowie State University. Rehan earned a 4. 0 grade point average and was able to transfer to the University of Maryland.( 他的同事对他评价很高,并劝他回学校去。公司的一位老板甚至帮助他进入了鲍伊州立大学。Rehan的平均成绩为4.0分,并且能够转学到马里兰大学)” 可知,Rehan工作后,他的同事高度评价他并劝他回学校,公司的一位老板甚至帮他在鲍伊州立大学注册,他后来取得了好成绩并转学到了马里兰大学,所以他在别人的帮助下能够继续他的学业。故选C项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“During his junior year at the University of Maryland, his father suffered a stroke (中风) . Instead of dropping out of school, Rehan returned to Bates Trucking & Trash Removal in order to save his father. He got up each day at 3 am to work before class and doubled his learning plans. Finally, he graduated with good grades. Moreover, he began applying to Harvard Law School and made it.( 他在马里兰大学读大三的时候,父亲中风了。为了救他的父亲,Rehan没有辍学,而是回到了Bates Trucking & Trash Removal公司。他每天凌晨3点起床,课前工作,把学习计划翻倍。最后,他以优异的成绩毕业了。此外,他开始申请哈佛法学院,并成功了)”可知,在大学里,Rehan面临着父亲中风的困境,他要工作还要学习,每天凌晨3点起床工作然后去上课,学习计划加倍,这说明他的大学生活充满挑战;但最后他以好成绩毕业,还被哈佛大学法学院录取,这又是很有回报的。故选D项。
C
“All work and no play make Jack a dull boy. ” But now scientists have given us an other warning: too much play with smart phones or computers makes you dull too.
“Many focus on the benefits of digital devices (设备) in education but ignore the costs”, said Patricia Greenfield from the University of California, “losing the ability to understand the emotions of other people is one of the costs.” Greenfield and her research team did an experiment. They worked with 105 children who spend about 4. 5 hours in front of screens on a school day. The students were asked to describe the emotions towards the pictures of people who were happy, sad, angry or scared. Then, half of them attended a five-day nature and science camp. There they had no smart phones, TV, or computers. The other half stayed in school and spent the five days as usual. Five days later, all the children took the test again.
Students who had been to the camp got about 5 percent more answers correct than they had done before the camp. But the other group of students didn’t show much improvement. The study is not perfect in some ways said the researchers. But the result is still a warning for us, so scientists say we should stay alert for it.
“Emotional skills develop in practice and the brain develops through real interaction. ” said Professor Taylor, a professor at the University of San Francisco.
Researchers talked to 2, 000 parents of children aged 2-16 in the UK about what activities their children could do confidently. The results were surprising: Their children could use a tablet (平板电脑) (59%)and work a mobile phone (57%) more confidently than they could tie their shoe laces (鞋带) (53%)! So, spend more time away from mobile phones and computers if you want to be an understanding friend, and not a member of what the Daily Mail called “Generation Helpless”.
28. According to Professor Greenfield, using digital media in education leads to ________.
A. failing to read other people’s emotions B. making more mistakes when taking exams
C. falling far behind others in all schoolwork D. being on bad terms with family members
29. What does the underlined word “alert” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Calm. B. Relaxed. C. Satisfied. D. Alarmed.
30. What can we know from the text?
A. Most of the UK children couldn’t tie their shoe laces.
B. Too much play with digital devices raised some worries.
C. Students living without screens did much better in studies.
D. Students learned how to describe emotions in the experiment.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Stay away from the Internet. B. Here comes a digital world.
C. Emotions can be understood. D. Screens harm emotion understanding.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了过多使用电子设备会影响情绪理解。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中““Many focus on the benefits of digital devices (设备) in education but ignore the costs”, said Patricia Greenfield from the University of California, “losing the ability to understand the emotions of other people is one of the costs.” (加利福尼亚大学的帕特里夏·格林菲尔德说:“许多人关注数字设备在教育中的好处,但忽视了其代价,失去理解他人情绪的能力就是代价之一。”)”可知,根据格林菲尔德教授的说法,在教育中使用数字媒体会导致无法读懂他人的情绪。故选A。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“But the result is still a warning for us, so scientists say we should stay alert for it. (但研究结果仍给我们敲响了警钟,因此科学家称我们应保持alert。)”可知,这个结果对我们是一个警告,所以科学家说我们应该对此保持警觉。故alert意思是“警觉的”,与Alarmed意思相近。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“But now scientists have given us an other warning: too much play with smart phones or computers makes you dull too. (但现在科学家们又给了我们一个警告:过多地玩智能手机或电脑也会让你变得迟钝。)”以及最后一段中“So, spend more time away from mobile phones and computers if you want to be an understanding friend, and not a member of what the Daily Mail called “Generation Helpless”. (所以,如果你想成为一个善解人意的朋友,而不是《每日邮报》所说的“无助的一代”的一员,那就多花点时间远离手机和电脑吧。)”可知,过多地使用电子设备引起了一些担忧。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中“But now scientists have given us an other warning: too much play with smart phones or computers makes you dull too. (但现在科学家们又给了我们一个警告:过多地玩智能手机或电脑也会让你变得迟钝。)”可知,文章主要讲述了科学家通过实验证明过多使用电子设备会影响理解他人情绪的能力,故D选项“Screens harm emotion understanding (电子设备屏幕影响情绪理解)”最符合文章标题。故选D。
D
Not only does the use of plastic water bottles hurt your wallet, but it also causes pollution, wastes energy, and surprisingly wastes water. Only 23% of the plastic in America ends up in recycling bins, meaning over $1 billion worth of plastic is treated as rubbish a year. Recently, Skipping Rocks Lab has invented a kind of water bottle called Ooho.
Ooho is designed for large outdoor events where a large number plastic bottles are used and frequently left behind as litter. It’s a kind of convenient, clear water bottle that can either be drunk or eaten. To drink it, you can either get rid of the membrane (膜) or tear a hole in the membrane with your teeth to pour the water into your mouth. To eat it, you simply put the whole bottle in your mouth. It’s completely tasteless so you needn’t worry about any taste.
It aims for large outdoor events where tons of plastic bottles are used and frequently left behind as litter. Too much plastic is sure to do harm to the environment, which could account for the purpose of such a new invention.
The team has been working for the past two years to develop the technology and materials that are needed to produce Ooho. The price for an only bubble (泡状物) or a unit of bubbles has not been decided yet, but it costs about two cent to create a unit, which is cheaper than plastic bottles. The team has also been selling Ooho water bottles in London for the past six months.
Ooho is catching many people’s attention and has raised over $1 million in only three days. It’s mostly being sold at events at the moment to interest the buyers while the production machine is getting up and running. It’s quickly making a rise, so keep an eye out for these bottles of the future.
32. How is most plastic in America dealt with?
A. It is reused as new energy. B. It is buried under the ground.
C. It is thrown away as rubbish. D. It is applied to new technology.
33 What can we know about the Ooho?
A. It plans to be sold at a very low price.
B. It has some advantages over plastic bottles.
C. Suitable materials of making Ooho are hard to find.
D. Most people in London use Ooho instead of plastic bottles.
34. What’s the author’s attitude towards Ooho’s future?
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Uninterested. D. Worried.
35. Who is probably the article written for?
A. Scientists. B. Experts. C. Environmentalists. D. The public.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章介绍了一项新的发明——一种可以替代塑料瓶子的水瓶子Ooho,它既能装水,也可食用。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Only 23% of the plastic in America ends up in recycling bins, meaning over $1 billion worth of plastic is created as rubbish a year. (在美国,只有23%的塑料最终进入了回收箱,这意味着每年有价值超过10亿美元的塑料被当作垃圾处理。)”可知,美国大部分塑料杯当成垃圾扔掉,故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Ooho is designed for large outdoor events where a large number plastic bottles are used and frequently left behind as litter. It's a kind of convenient, clear water bottle that can either be drunk or eaten. (Ooho是为大型户外活动而设计的,那里使用了大量的塑料瓶,经常被当作垃圾丢弃。这是一种方便、透明的水瓶,既可以喝也可以吃。)”可知,这个新发明的瓶子与塑料瓶相比有很多优势,故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s quickly making a rise, so keep an eye out for these bottles of the future. (它正在迅速崛起,所以请留意这些未来的瓶子。)”可知,作者对Ooho的未来持积极态度,故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,这篇文章介绍了一种名为Ooho的新发明,一种可以吃也可以喝的水瓶,以及它解决传统塑料水瓶造成的塑料污染问题的潜力。文章还提供了例子和统计数据,以帮助说明塑料污染问题和替代解决方案的必要性,使其具有相关性并吸引广泛的读者。由此可推知,这篇文章是写给普通大众的,故选D。

The Power of Releasing Worry
We all worry. It’s a common feeling. We know worry does little good. It doesn’t solve problems but causes discomfort. Yet, it seems to stick to us. ____36____ Here are some ideas to help you worry less.
Firstly, worry wastes our imagination. When we worry, we often think of bad things that might never happen. It’s not like problem-solving. Problem-solving is calm and logical. Worry is just nervousness. For example, if you worry about a test, you might imagine failing. But that doesn’t help. Instead, you should focus on preparing, which is practical. ____37____
Moreover, worry harms our performance. It takes our attention away from the present. When you worry, you can’t think clearly. Imagine you're playing a sport. ____38____ But if you stay calm and focus, you’ll do much better. Worry is like a dark cloud over our heads, making everything seem worse. Worry can stop you from reaching your goals and enjoying life.
____39____ When you feel worried, take slow, deep breaths. It helps you relax and think clearly. Also, take small actions. Even a little progress can reduce worry. For instance, if you worry about a project, start by making a simple plan. That gives you control and relaxes your mind. The key is to direct your attention to positive actions.
In short, worry can be a lot of trouble. ____40____ By understanding its harm and learning to let go, we can live happier and more successful lives.
A. Lastly, the solution to worry is to stay present.
B. It’s important to see the difference between worrying and problem-solving.
C. If you worry about losing, you won’t play well.
D. Many people find that worry becomes a habit that's hard to break.
E. However, there are several ways to reduce worry and improve your life.
F. Taking steps to manage worry can lead to significant improvements in your daily life.
G. The serious effect of worry on our physical and mental health must be fully understood.
【答案】36. E 37. B 38. C 39. A 40. G

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了担忧的危害以及减少担忧的方法。

Yet, it seems to stick to us.(我们都会担心。这是一种常见的感觉。我们知道担心没有什么好处。它不能解决问题,反而会引起不适。然而,它似乎总是伴随着我们)”说明担心是一种常见的感觉,而且不能解决问题,E项“然而,有几种方法可以减少担忧,改善你的生活”和前文为转折关系并引出下文介绍减少担忧的方法,且E项中的“reduce worry”和后文“help you worry less”相呼应,符合语境。故选E。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Firstly, worry wastes our imagination. When we worry, we often think of bad things that might never happen. It’s not like problem-solving. Problem-solving is calm and logical. Worry is just nervousness. For example, if you worry about a test, you might imagine failing. But that doesn’t help. Instead, you should focus on preparing, which is practical.(首先,担心浪费了我们的想象力。当我们担心的时候,我们经常想到可能永远不会发生的坏事。这不是解决问题。解决问题的冷静和逻辑。担心只是紧张)”可知,我们应该却别担心和解决问题的区别,B项“重要的是要看到担心和解决问题的区别”符合语境。故选B。
【38题详解】
上文“Moreover, worry harms our performance. It takes our attention away from the present. When you worry, you can’t think clearly.(此外,担心会损害我们的表现。它会把我们的注意力从当下转移开。当你担心的时候,你不能清晰地思考)”说明担心会损害我们的表现,把我们的注意力从当下转移开,让我们不能清晰地思考,C项“如果你担心失败,你就表现不好”和前文为顺承关系,进一步说明担心会损害我们的表现。故选C。
【39题详解】
空处位于段首,为段落主旨句,应概括本段内容。下文“When you feel worried, take slow, deep breaths. It helps you relax and think clearly. Also, take small actions. Even a little progress can reduce worry.(当你感到担心时,慢慢地深呼吸。它能帮助你放松,清晰地思考。此外,采取小行动。即使是一点点进步也能减少担忧)”说明减少担忧的方法。A项“最后,解决担忧的方法是活在当下”引出下文内容。故选A。
【40题详解】
根据下文“By understanding its harm and learning to let go, we can live happier and more successful lives.(通过了解它的危害并学会放手,我们可以过上更快乐、更成功的生活)”可知,了解担心的危害对我们有帮助,G项“必须充分了解担心对我们身心健康的严重影响”符合语境。故选G。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了武术尤其是中国少林功夫的起源和发展,还提到野生动物的打斗方式也为武术发展提供了借鉴。
【56题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:三千多年前,一些格斗风格在中国被发明出来。根据时间状语“More than 3, 000 years ago”可知,该句时态为一般过去时;“fighting styles”和“invent” 之间是被动关系,要用被动语态,且 “styles”是复数,所以be 动词用 were。故填 were invented。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:大约 1500 年前,一位名叫达摩的印度僧侣来到中国。“an Indian monk”和“call”之间是被动关系,要用过去分词作后置定语。故填 called。
【58题详解】
考查副词。句意:在那里,他发现僧侣们长时间深度思考后身体虚弱且不健康。此处需用副词修饰动词“thinking”,“deep”的副词是“deeply”。故填 deeply。
【59题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:他们需要保护自己免受一些危险情况的伤害。主语和宾语是同一类人,要用反身代词,“they”的反身代词是“themselves”。故填 themselves。
【60题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:所以达摩为僧侣们发明了一些练习方法,这些方法构成了少林功夫的基础。先行词是“练习方法”,关系词在从句中作主语,要用关系代词which 引导非限制性定语从句。故填 which。
【61题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:僧侣们学会这些练习方法后,攻击他们比以前困难多了。根据“than before”可知,此处要用形容词比较级,“difficult”是多音节形容词,其比较级是“more difficult”。故填 more difficult。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意:在其 1500 年的发展过程中,少林功夫成为了最大的功夫流派之一。“its”是形容词性物主代词,后面需接名词,“develop”的名词是“development”。故填 development。
【63题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在其 1500 年的发展过程中,少林功夫成为了最大的功夫流派之一。“one of the + 形容词最高级 + 名词复数”是固定结构,表示“最……之一”。故填 the。
【64题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:在印度尼西亚、中国和其他地方,人们观察动物是如何打斗的。空处引导宾语从句,从句中缺少方式状语,要用 how 引导。故填 how。
【65题详解】
考查介词。句意:随着时间的推移,它们成为了许多武术的一部分。“with time going by”是固定短语,表示“随着时间的推移”,with位于句首,首字母大写。故填 With。
第四部分 写作(共两节,满分40分)
第一节 句子翻译(共5句;每句3分,满分15分)
66. 十年前她受到朋友的启发,于是决定成立一家IT 俱乐部。(inspire; so...that...)(汉译英)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】She was so inspired by her friends that she decided to start an IT club ten years ago.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和从句。根据句意可知,本句在陈述过去的动作,用一般过去时。此处考查固定句型so...that...,意为“如此……以至于……”,引导结果状语从句;“受到……启发”译为be inspired by……。“决定做某事”文decide to do sth;“成立一家IT 俱乐部”为“start an IT club”;“十年前”为ten years ago,作状语。故翻译成:She was so inspired by her friends that she decided to start an IT club ten years ago.
67. 属于联合王国的这四个国家在一些领域进行合作。(belong; 定语从句)(汉译英)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The four countries that belong to the United Kingdom work together in some areas.
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句和动词短语。分析句子可知,该句的主干部分为“这四个国家在一些领域进行合作”,表示客观事实,应用一般现在时,可译为The four countries work together in some areas;“属于联合王国的”为定语,修饰“这四个国家”,可用定语从句表达,用于“The four countries”后面,动词短语belong to表示“属于”,可译为that belong to the United Kindom,关系代词“that”指代先行词“four countries”,在从句中作主语。故全句译为The four countries that belong to the United Kingdom work together in some areas.
68. 我们渴望参观那座被大树环绕的公园。(eager; surround)(汉译英)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】We are eager to visit the park surrounded by big trees. / We are eager to visit the park that is surrounded by big trees.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和非谓语或者定语从句。陈述客观事实,为一般现在时。“渴望做某事”为“be eager to do sth”;“参观”为“visit”;“公园”为the park;“被大树环绕的”为 surrounded by big trees,为过去分词作后置定语。或者处理成“that is surrounded by big trees.”为that引导的定语从句。故翻译为:We are eager to visit the park surrounded by big trees. / We are eager to visit the park that is surrounded by big trees.
69. 令他感到宽慰的是,他有机会在比赛中证明自己。(relief; opportunity)(汉译英)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】To his relief, he had an opportunity to prove himself in the competition.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和时态。发生在过去用一般过去时;表示“令某人安慰的是”短语为to one’s relief;主语为he;表示“有机会做某事”短语为have an opportunity to do sth.;表示“证明自己”用prove oneself;表示“在比赛中”短语为in the competition。故翻译为To his relief, he had an opportunity to prove himself in the competition.
70. 节日有各种各样的起源,比如著名人物及重大事件。(range; origin)(汉译英)
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Festivals have a wide range of origins, such as famous figures and important events.
【解析】
【详解】考查名词短语和固定搭配。“节日”可用名词festival,在句中作主语,此处需要复数形式表示泛指。表示“各种各样的”用a wide range of,作定语;表示“起源”用origin,此处用复数形式origins作have的宾语;表示“比如”用such as,连接后面的例子;表示“著名人物”用famous figures;表示“重大事件”用important events。句子描述的是客观事实,用一般现在时,主语festivals是复数,所以谓语动词用have。故翻译为Festivals have a wide range of origins, such as famous figures and important events.
