Rosetta Stone includes lessons on pronunciation so you can improve your English accent.(这款屡获殊荣的英语学习应用程序教授词汇和英语语法。Rosetta Stone包含发音课程，这样你就可以改进你的英语口音。)”可知，Rosetta Stone最适合那些想练习发音的人。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Duolingo — Most fun app部分中的“This personalized English-learning app turns studying into a game.

Instead, he found a story on the side of the road — he got up close and personal with a group of bears begging (乞求) for food. While Doest drove on a mountain pass, the bears were hanging around on the roadside. So he stopped and rolled down his window to observe them, but a large brown bear headed directly for the vehicle and made his move, waiting for a tasty treat. “This is the shot,” thought Doest. He forced his fingers to press the button, getting six shots — one clear, five unclear. Then he realized just how close he’d been to the animal and its possible dangers. The region’s brown bears are usually shy around people. It takes just a few meals for them to get hooked on (迷上) human food. And, after that, they don’t stay wild long. They begin to depend on humans for existence. He met a tourist who proudly told him she’d been feeding bears on the roadside in the conservation area. “It was the saddest thing, " he says. "It made us realize why the bears had completely changed their behavior.” In the days that followed Doest saw other examples of how tourists’ handouts had changed the delicate ecosystem they were visiting. He realized the story of conservation in the region was as much about people as wildlife. “It’s about how to accept nature in our lives,” he says. So don’t feed the bears, says Doest — you could save an animal’s life, and a community’s commitment to wildlife conservation, along the way. 4. Why did Doest go to the Transylvanian Alps? A. To go hunting. B. To interview visitors. C. To go travelling. D. To prepare for his film. 5. What can we infer about Doest from paragraph 2? A. He was not afraid of bears. B. He was impatient with the bear. C. He was not good at taking pictures. D. He was nervous and excited when shooting. 6. What effect will humans’ feeding bring to the brown bears? A. They become dependent on humans. B. They have a higher risk of getting ill. C. They are likely to become humans’ pets. D. They tend to attack people more for food. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To promote his new documentary. B. To call on people not to feed wildlife. C. To record his encounter with bears D. To attract more visitors to help bears. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了摄影师Jasper Doest在特兰西瓦尼亚阿尔卑斯山拍摄人与野生动物共存时，发现了一个令人痛心的现象：由于游客投喂，熊变得依赖人类，这改变了当地的生态系统。Doest呼吁人们不要投喂野生动物，以保护它们的野性和生态平衡。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When photojournalist Jasper Doest arrived in the Transylvanian Alps to record the coexistence of humans and wildlife for his film, he planned on shooting in the forest of the Southern Carpathian woods.(当摄影记者贾斯珀·多斯特来到特兰西瓦尼亚阿尔卑斯山，为他的电影记录人类和野生动物的共存时，他计划在南喀尔巴阡山脉的森林中拍摄。)”可知，Doest去特兰西瓦尼亚阿尔卑斯山是为了准备他的电影。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“So he stopped and rolled down his window to observe them, but a large brown bear headed directly for the vehicle and made his move, waiting for a tasty treat. “This is the shot,” thought Doest. He forced his fingers to press the button, getting six shots — one clear, five unclear. Then he realized just how close he’d been to the animal and its possible dangers.(于是他停下车，摇下车窗观察它们，但一只大棕熊径直朝汽车走来，做好了动作，等着美味的食物。“就是这张照片，”多斯特想。他强迫自己的手指按下按钮，拍了六张照片——一张清晰，五张不清晰。然后他意识到自己离这只动物有多近，以及它可能带来的危险。)”可知，Doest在拍摄时既紧张又兴奋。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“And, after that, they don’t stay wild long. They begin to depend on humans for existence.(在那之后，它们不会在野外待太久。它们开始依靠人类生存。)”可知，人类喂养会让棕熊变得依赖人类。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“So don’t feed the bears, says Doest — you could save an animal’s life, and a community’s commitment to wildlife conservation, along the way.(所以不要喂熊，Doest说——你可以在这个过程中拯救一个动物的生命，以及一个社区对野生动物保护的承诺。)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是呼吁人们不要喂野生动物。故选B项。 C It’s time to put down the phone and look away from Instagram (一款照片分享的应用程序): Researchers found that people who look at pictures of food are less likely to enjoy the next meal they eat. Ryan Elder and Jeff Larson of Brigham Young University asked 232 people to look at photos of food and rate them. They divided the participants into two groups — one group looked at 60 photos of sweet foods, while the other examined 60photos of salty foods. Participants arranged each photo in order of how attractive the food looked. Afterward both groups enjoyed some salted peanuts (花生). The group that looked at pictures of salty foods liked the peanuts less than the group who looked at sweet foods, even though no one saw photos of peanuts. “If you want to enjoy your meal, avoid looking at too many pictures of food,” Larson said. “Even I felt a little sick after looking at all the sweet pictures we had.” The researchers believe that food doesn’t taste as good after viewing all those photos because looking at many photos makes people feel as if they have already experienced the sensation (感觉) of eating. Whatever someone eats after looking at photos doesn’t seem as good as what she saw. “In a way, you’re becoming tired of that taste without even eating the food,” said Elder. “It’s sensory boredom — you’ve kind of moved on. You don’t want that taste experience anymore.” But there is some good news: People need to look at a lot of food photos to experience sensory boredom. So if you want to enjoy your next brunch, play it safe and stay away from your foodie friend’s photo albums. 8. What did the researchers do in the experiment? A. They showed peanut pictures to participants. B. They chose 232 participants who enjoy eating. C. They asked participants to have salted peanuts. D. They reminded participants to avoid sweet food. 9. What happened to the participants in the salty group? A. They enjoyed the peanuts less. B. They enjoyed their meals more. C. They dared not rate the pictures. D. They compared food with others. 10. Which of the following shows “sensory boredom”? A. Lose sense of taste when tired. B. Get bored with a meal after shooting it. C. Enjoy meals less after seeing many food pictures. D. Eat more than before when the food tastes delicious. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. What makes food taste less delicious B. Why Instagram reduces desire for food C. How we can stay away from Instagram D. What causes people to enjoy salty foods 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员发现看食物照片会降低对食物的享受程度，并介绍了其背后的原因。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Afterward both groups enjoyed some salted peanuts (花生).(之后两组都吃了一些咸花生)”可知，研究人员让参与者吃咸花生。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The group that looked at pictures of salty foods liked the peanuts less than the group who looked at sweet foods, even though no one saw photos of peanuts.(看咸味食物图片的那组人比看甜味食物图片的那组人更不喜欢花生，尽管没有人看到花生的照片)”可知，看咸味食物图片的人不喜欢花生。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The researchers believe that food doesn’t taste as good after viewing all those photos because looking at many photos makes people feel as if they have already experienced the sensation (感觉) of eating. Whatever someone eats after looking at photos doesn’t seem as good as what she saw.(研究人员认为，在看完所有这些照片后，食物的味道就不那么好了，因为看很多照片会让人觉得自己已经体验过吃东西的感觉了。看了照片后，无论吃什么，都不如她看到的好吃)”可推知，看很多食物照片后享受美食的感觉会降低，这就是“感官疲劳”。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“It’s time to put down the phone and look away from Instagram (一款照片分享的应用程序): Researchers found that people who look at pictures of food are less likely to enjoy the next meal they eat.(是时候放下手机，不再看照片分享应用程序Instagram了：研究人员发现，看过食物图片的人不太可能享受他们接下来吃的那顿饭)”以及文章内容可知，文章主要介绍了研究人员发现看食物照片会降低对食物的享受程度，并介绍了其背后的原因。由此可知，B选项“为什么Instagram降低了人们对食物的欲望”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D “Sorry” has become common in daily conversations and communications. We say it for all sorts of things we really shouldn’t be sorry for. Is it time to stop? “I wasn’t really that sorry,” admits Louise Julig, a freelance writer, who found she was always apologizing for the “delay” (延迟) when replying to notes, even when there wasn’t much of a delay at all. “Sorry has lost its meaning, no longer a heartfelt regret but just a subconscious (下意识的) response,” said Louise Julig. Now, faced with a blank email, Ms. Julig asks herself, did I miss something, or do something wrong? If the answer is no, she’s not sorry. I understand very well how she feels. When I searched my sent emails for the phrase “Sorry for the delay”, the result was too many for Gmail to give me an exact number. I tried to cut back on my apologies. Mostly I failed, catching myself shouting sorry! I apologized to the person I contacted when I called three minutes later than I was supposed to; then I apologized for only being able to meet him on the day I suggested, not the other; I even apologized in advance for any discomfort I might cause to him during the conversation. While apologizing too much in daily life may not have serious consequences, doing so in business, especially when you’ve actually done something wrong, is just asking for trouble — you’re giving away your power, says Jeffrey Pfeffer, a professor at Stanford Graduate School of Business. People are never satisfied with an apology, he adds. Showing vulnerability only makes you look weak. Standing your ground and avoiding apologies come with risks. You might not be liked. But he thinks it’s worth it. 12. What did Louise Julig realize at last? A. She didn’t have to say sorry under many conditions. B. She couldn’t help but delay replying to others’ notes. C. She brought people trouble with delayed email reply. D. She had a misunderstanding of the meaning of “sorry”. 13. What does the author find difficult? A. Apologizing by making a phone call. B. Stopping someone from apologizing. C. Finding out why people often apologize. D. Reducing the frequency of her apologies. 14. What does the underlined word “vulnerability” mean in the last paragraph? A. Offense. B. Disability. C. Dissatisfaction. D. Weaknesses. 15. What does Jeffrey Pfeffer advise businessmen to do? A To take others’ apologies seriously. B. To avoid offending people on purpose. C. To maintain power by avoiding apologies. D. To make sincere apologies when necessary. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了在日常对话和交流中频繁使用“对不起”是否合适。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““I wasn’t really that sorry,” admits Louise Julig, a freelance writer, who found she was always apologizing for the “delay” (延迟) when replying to notes, even when there wasn’t much of a delay at all. “Sorry has lost its meaning, no longer a heartfelt regret but just a subconscious (下意识的) response,” said Louise Julig. Now, faced with a blank email, Ms. Julig asks herself, did I miss something, or do something wrong? If the answer is no, she’s not sorry.(自由撰稿人路易丝・朱利格承认：“我其实并没有那么抱歉。”她发现自己在回复便条时，总是为所谓的“延迟”而道歉，即便根本没有延迟多久。路易丝・朱利格说：“‘对不起’已经失去了它原本的意义，不再是发自内心的懊悔，而仅仅成了一种下意识的反应。”现在，面对一封空白邮件时，朱利格女士会问自己：我是不是错过了什么事情，或者做错了什么？如果答案是否定的，她就不会说抱歉。)”可知，路易丝·朱利格最终意识到在很多情况下她不必说对不起。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I tried to cut back on my apologies. Mostly I failed, catching myself shouting sorry! I apologized to the person I contacted when I called three minutes later than I was supposed to; then I apologized for only being able to meet him on the day I suggested, not the other; I even apologized in advance for any discomfort I might cause to him during the conversation.(我试图减少道歉。大多数时候我都失败了，我发现自己在喊对不起! 我向对方道歉，因为我比预定的时间晚了三分钟才打电话给他；然后我道歉，因为我只能在我建议的那天见他，而不是其他日子；我甚至提前为我在谈话中可能给他带来的任何不适道歉。)”可知，作者发现减少道歉的频率很难。故选D。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“People are never satisfied with an apology, he adds.(他补充道，人们永远不会对一个道歉感到满足。)”和划线词后文“only makes you look weak.(只会让你看起来软弱)”可知，一味地道歉会暴露自己的弱点，这样只会让你显得软弱。由此可知，vulnerability意为“弱点”。故选D。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“While apologizing too much in daily life may not have serious consequences, doing so in business, especially when you’ve actually done something wrong, is just asking for trouble — you’re giving away your power, says Jeffrey Pfeffer, a professor at Stanford Graduate School of Business.(斯坦福大学商学院教授杰弗里・菲佛表示，虽然在日常生活中过度道歉可能不会产生严重后果，但在商业领域中这样做，尤其是当你确实做错了事情的时候，那就无异于自找麻烦 —— 因为你正在放弃自己的优势。)”可知，杰弗里·普费弗建议商人通过避免道歉来维护自己的权力。故选C。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Whether you’re looking to lose a few pounds, spend more time at the gym or learn a language, turning bad habits into good ones is all about self-control. Some of us have more than others. And research shows that those with more self-control tend to be happier. But the problem is that we usually only get rewarded in the future. ____16____ Michael Inzlicht is a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto and a self-control researcher. He says that the ironic thing about self-control is that those who are really good at it don’t have to practice it. ____17____ When you love and desire something that tends to be better for you, like studying, working hard or exercising, for example, you don’t have to think about doing it. Inzlicht says that these types of individuals generally have what’s called “trait self-control” meaning it’s an aspect of their personality. When it comes to improving self-control, Inzlicht says it’s difficult to change the personality that you’re born with. ____18____ A wide body of research shows that you can improve self-control for a particular behavior you want to change or a habit you’d like to develop. For example, Inzlicht says that when we get paid to make life changes, we’re more likely to make them. Some gyms will charge you a certain amount of money for a year-long membership and then give you a few cents back every time you come. ____19____ ____20____ Part of failing at developing self-control is in getting frustrated at yourself for not changing overnight. If you’re building self-control in losing weight, for instance, don’t try switching to nothing but fruits and vegetables all at once because it’s too dramatic a change — not to mention unsustainable. A. However, this doesn’t mean you can do nothing about it. B. Another tip for success, says Inzlicht, is making gradual steps. C. Even a small amount of money can encourage people to work out. D. They can maintain the good habits all the time without much effort. E. Thus, we are constantly weighing whether to wait or to have it right now. F. Don’t be afraid of frustration, since it is necessary for your improvement. G. Actually, self-control improvement can bring about benefits to all individuals. 【答案】16. E 17. D 18. A 19. C 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了自控力强的人往往更快乐，虽然真正擅长自控的人无需刻意练习，而且人们难以改变天生性格，但依然有一些方法可以提升自控力，例如针对特定行为或习惯，用报酬加以激励，以及循序渐进。 【16题详解】 前文“And research shows that those with more self-control tend to be happier. But the problem is that we usually only get rewarded in the future. (研究表明，自控能力强的人往往更快乐。但问题是，我们通常只在未来得到奖励)”指出自控能力强可以带来快乐，但这种快乐在未来才能得到，因此E项“Thus, we are constantly weighing whether to wait or to have it right now. (因此，我们不断地权衡是等待还是现在就拥有它)”符合语境，表明我们会纠结于是自控以得到未来的快乐，还是不自控现在就获得快乐，是前文矛盾的结果，承接前文。故选E。 【17题详解】 前文“He says that the ironic thing about self-control is that those who are really good at it don’t have to practice it. (他说，具有讽刺意味的是，那些真正擅长自我控制的人并不需要练习自我控制)”指出擅长自控的人不需要练习自控，后文“When you love and desire something that tends to be better for you, like studying, working hard or exercising, for example, you don’t have to think about doing it. (当你喜欢并渴望一些对你更好的事情时，比如学习、努力工作或锻炼，你不必考虑去做)”用具体的例子说明这种自控可以自然发生，因此D项“They can maintain the good habits all the time without much effort. (他们可以毫不费力地一直保持好习惯)”符合语境，说明这样的人可以轻松保持好习惯，是对前文的解释，后文是对其例证，选项中的They指代前文的those who are really good at it。故选D。 【18题详解】 前文“When it comes to improving self-control, Inzlicht says it’s difficult to change the personality that you’re born with. (说到提高自我控制能力，Inzlicht说，很难改变你与生俱来的性格)”指出提高自控力很困难，后文“A wide body of research shows that you can improve self-control for a particular behavior you want to change or a habit you’d like to develop. (大量的研究表明，你可以提高你想要改变的特定行为或你想要养成的习惯的自制力)”说明特定行为或习惯的自控力是可以提升的，因此A项“However, this doesn’t mean you can do nothing about it. (然而，这并不意味着你对此无能为力)”符合语境，指出提高自控力也是有办法的，和前文构成转折，引出后文，其中的this指代前一句话。故选A。 【19题详解】 前文“For example, Inzlicht says that when we get paid to make life changes, we’re more likely to make them. Some gyms will charge you a certain amount of money for a year-long membership and then give you a few cents back every time you come. (例如，Inzlicht说，当我们因为改变生活而得到报酬时，我们更有可能做出改变。有些健身房会向你收取一定数额的一年会员费，然后每次你来的时候都会返还你几美分)”指出报酬可以推动人做出改变，并举出健身房返还一小部分费用的例子，因此C项“Even a small amount of money can encourage people to work out. (即使是少量的钱也能鼓励人们去锻炼)”符合语境，说明被返还的费用可以让人坚持锻炼，承接前文。故选C。 【20题详解】 后文“Part of failing at developing self-control is in getting frustrated at yourself for not changing overnight. If you’re building self-control in losing weight, for instance, don’t try switching to nothing but fruits and vegetables all at once because it’s too dramatic a change — not to mention unsustainable. (发展自我控制失败的部分原因是对自己没有在一夜之间改变而感到沮丧。例如，如果你在减肥过程中建立自我控制，不要试图一下子只吃水果和蔬菜，因为这是一个太大的变化——更不用说不可持续了)”指出培养自控不是一蹴而就的事情，并以减肥中饮食的改变为例加以说明，因此B项“Another tip for success, says Inzlicht, is making gradual steps. (Inzlicht说，成功的另一个秘诀是循序渐进)”符合语境，点明培养自控需要循序渐进，契合后文内容，适合作为段落主旨句。故选B。 第三部分 语言运用 (共三节，满分40分) 第一节 完形填空 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) I was always unhappy about wind or rain.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了作者原本总是不喜欢风和雨，认为它们给自己的出行带来不便。但通过与一位气象学家的交流，了解到台风（比风雨更猛烈麻烦）对地球上淡水资源供应、热量分布等有着重要作用，意识到自己的无知，进而思考在抱怨台风等自然现象之前应该先停下来想一想其对世界的影响。 【21题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：虽然风雨的到来是再平常不过的事了，但它给我外出带来了不便，有时甚至营造出一种糟糕的氛围，所以我非常不喜欢它。A. disliked不喜欢；B. refused拒绝；C. fought战斗；D. punished惩罚。根据上文“I was always unhappy about wind or rain.”以及“it caused inconvenience for me to go out, and sometimes it even created an awful atmosphere”可知，作者因为风和雨带来不便和糟糕氛围，所以是不喜欢它们。故选A。 【22题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：在一个下雨天，我遇到的一位气象学家对我因雨而产生的极大愤怒感到非常困惑，而这场雨只是给我带来了一点不便。A. excited兴奋的；B. delighted高兴的；C. puzzled困惑的；D. encouraged受鼓舞的。根据下文气象学家的提问“Have you ever seen typhoon? Do you know what would happen to the world if there were no typhoon?”可知，气象学家对作者因为一点不便就对雨大发雷霆感到困惑。故选C。 【23题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我摇了摇头。A. nodded点头；B. shook摇头；C. lifted举起；D. lowered降低。根据下文“I had no experience of how powerful it was when it almost blew away everything in its way.”可知，作者没有见过台风，所以对于气象学家的问题，作者是摇头表示不知道。故选B。 【24题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：没有台风，淡水短缺的情况会更严重，因为它是地球上淡水供应的一个重要来源。 A. supply供应；B. lack缺乏；C. waste浪费；D. amount数量。根据下文“for it is a great source of water supply on earth”可知，台风是地球上重要的水源，所以没有台风的话，淡水短缺的情况会更严重。故选B。 【25题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：没有台风，热量的分布会更加不平衡。A. time时间；B. wealth财富；C. energy能量；D. warmth温暖。根据下文“The equatorial (赤道的) area that receives the most sunshine on earth ____ entirely on typhoon to disperse (驱散) heat.”可知，这里说的是热量的分布，所以没有台风，热量的分布会更加不平衡。故选D。 【26题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：地球上接受阳光最多的赤道地区完全依赖台风来驱散热量。A. moves移动；B. depends依靠；C. keeps保持；D. holds持有。根据语境可知，赤道地区接受了地球上最多的阳光，完全依赖台风来驱散热量。depend on“依靠”，固定短语。故选B。 【27题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：没有台风，热带地区会变得更热，而寒带地区会更冷。A. better更好的；B. cooler更凉爽的；C. hotter更热的；D. warmer更温暖的。根据上文“The equatorial (赤道的) area that receives the most sunshine on earth ____ entirely on typhoon to disperse (驱散) heat.”以及下文“while the frigid zones much colder”可知，没有台风，热带地区会更热。故选C。 【28题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：结果，温带地区将会从世界上消失……。A. expand扩大；B. move移动；C. disappear消失；D. escape逃跑。根据上文“Without typhoon, the tropics (热带地区) would be even ____ while the frigid zones much colder.”可知，没有台风，热带更热，寒带更冷，这样温带就会从世界上消失。故选C。 【29题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：无知使我目光短浅。A. Ignorance无知；B. Knowledge知识；C. Fear害怕；D. Preference偏爱。根据上文作者因为风和雨带来的不便就不喜欢它们，而不知道台风对世界的重要性和下文“I disliked wind only because it messed up my hair.”可知，是无知让作者目光短浅。故选A。 【30题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：我讨厌雨仅仅是因为我得带把伞。A. mainly主要地；B. simply仅仅；C. partly部分地；D. totally完全地。根据下文“because I had to carry an umbrella.”可知，作者仅仅是因为要带伞就讨厌雨。故选B。 【31题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：但我根本不知道，台风——一种比风和雨更猛烈、更麻烦的东西——对人类的生存来说是必不可少的。A. amazing令人惊讶的；B. boring无聊的；C. exciting令人兴奋的；D. troubling令人烦恼的。根据上文对台风的描述“it almost blew away everything in its way”可知，台风比风和雨更猛烈、更麻烦。故选D。 【32题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：但我根本不知道，台风——一种比风和雨更猛烈、更麻烦的东西——对人类的生存来说是必不可少的。A. success成功；B. advantage优势；C. approach方法；D. must必需品。根据上文对台风作用的描述“it is a great source of water supply on earth. Without it, there would be a greater imbalance in the distribution (分布) of ____ .”，如提供淡水、平衡热量分布等，可知台风对人类的生存是必要的事物。故选D。 【33题详解】 考查连词词义辨析。句意：所以，对于一个人来说，在抱怨台风之前停下来思考片刻是明智的。A. before在……之前；B. since自从；C. after在……之后；D. until直到。根据上文“it is advisable for a man to stop to think for a moment ”及语境可知，在一个人抱怨台风之前停下来思考一下是明智的。故选A。 【34题详解】 考查固定短语辨析。句意：要是台风完全消失了会怎么样呢？A. What about……怎么样；B. What if如果…… 将会怎么样；C. Even if即使；D. How come怎么会。根据下文“What would the world become then?”可知，这里是假设如果台风完全消失会怎么样，此处用What if表示假设。故选B。 【35题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：这些答案会让他保持冷静，并引导他更接近真相——他会更好地了解自己所生活的世界。A. answers答案；B. theories理论；C. complaints抱怨；D. mysteries秘密。根据上文提出的问题“ ____ yphoon disappeared all together? What would the world become then?”可知，这些答案会让人保持冷静并接近真相。故选A。 第二节 短文语法填空 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Qingming Festival, also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day, is a traditional Chinese holiday celebrated in early April.

This holiday reflects Chinese values of family, respect, and harmony with nature. It teaches us to honor history while _____45_____ (welcome) new traditions that care for our planet. 【答案】36. to honor 37. when 38. and 39. with 40. called 41. have written##have been writing 42. appreciate 43. to value 44. respectful 45. welcoming 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了中国传统节日——清明节。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这是一个家人缅怀祖先并迎接春天到来的时刻。固定句型“It is a time for sb. to do sth.”，意思是“对某人来说是做某事的时候了”。故填to honor。 【37题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：这个节日通常在4月4日或5日，此时天气变得更暖和，大自然又恢复了生机，一片翠绿。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为April 4th or 5th，在从句中作时间状语，所以用关系副词when引导。故填when。 【38题详解】 考查连词。句意：他们打扫墓地，献上鲜花，并且焚烧纸钱或其他象征性的物品，以此来表示尊敬。“clean the tombs”（清扫坟墓）、“offer fresh flowers”（献上鲜花）和“burn paper money or other symbolic items”（焚烧纸钱或其他象征性物品）这几个动作是并列关系，都是人们在清明节期间表达对祖先尊重的方式，所以用并列连词and连接。故填and。 【39题详解】 考查介词。句意：如今，许多人也会进行文明的纪念活动，比如用鲜花代替香火，或者在坟墓附近植树。replace...with...是固定短语，意为“用…… 代替……”。故填with。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：许多人会去公园或乡村郊游，这一习俗被称为“踏青”。空处为非谓语动词作后置定语，a custom和call之间为被动关系，所以用过去分词，作后置定语。故填called。 【41题详解】 考查时态。句意：几个世纪以来，诗人们一直在描写清明节的美好。根据时间状语for centuries可知，空处可以用现在完成时，表示过去的动作持续到现在，或者用现在完成进行时，表示动作从过去持续到现在，而且还有可能持续下去，主语为复数，所以助动词用have。故填have written/have been writing。 【42题详解】 考查动词。句意：这样的诗提醒人们放慢脚步，欣赏大自然的复苏。remind sb. to do sth.是固定短语，意为“提醒某人做某事”，and连接两个并列的动词短语slow down和appreciate，都跟在to后面，所以用动词原形appreciate。故填appreciate。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：它鼓励人们珍惜生命和自然世界。encourage sb. to do sth.”是固定搭配，意思是“鼓励某人做某事”，所以空处用不定式形式。故填to value。 【44题详解】 考查形容词。句意：通过以恭敬的方式缅怀祖先并享受春天，家人们加强了彼此之间的联系，并创造了新的回忆。空处修饰空后的名词ways，用形容词作定语，respect的形容词respectful“恭敬的”符合题意。故填respectful。 【45题详解】 考查状语从句的省略。句意：它教导我们尊重历史，同时欢迎那些关爱我们星球的新传统。当状语从句中的主语与主句的主语不同，但如果是根据主、从句的对应关系判断，意思比较明确，同时从句的谓语又含有动词be的某种形式，则可省略从句中的“主语+be”部分，本句中完整的状语从句为while we are welcoming new traditions that care for ous planet，所以用现在分词welcoming。故填welcoming。 第三节 基础知识运用 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 用所给词的适当形式填空或根据汉语提示完成句子。 46. While a moderate amount of stress can be ________ (benefit) too much stress can exhaust you. （所给词的适当形式填空） 【答案】beneficial 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词。句意：适度的压力是有益的，太多的压力会让你疲惫不堪。根据上文a moderate amount of stress can be可知应填形容词beneficial，作表语，表示“有益的”。故填beneficial。 47. The park has paved pathways and wheelchair ramps to ensure that it is ________ (access) to everyone. (所给词适当形式填空) 【答案】accessible 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词。句意：公园设有铺砌的小路和轮椅坡道，以确保每个人都能进入。此处为形容词作表语，access的形容词为accessible意为“可进入的”。故填accessible。 48. It immediately ________(occur) to her that these were signs of an approaching tsunami. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】occurred 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态。句意：她立刻意识到这是海啸即将来临的迹象。分析句子可知，提示词作谓语，it occurs/occurred to somebody表示某人想到，根据were可知，用一般过去时。故填occurred。 49. It is important to raise public ________ (aware) of online security. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】awareness 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：提高公众的网络安全意识很重要。形容词public后接名词形式，在句中作宾语。aware的名词形式为awareness，表示“意识”之意，为不可数名词。故填awareness。 50. No wonder the Internet has now become the first place that the __________ (major) of people turn to for information. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】majority 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：互联网已经成为大多数人寻找信息的首选地点。major是形容词，意为“主要的”。根据句子结构，此处需要一个名词来充当主语，因此需要将 major转换为名词形式majority，意为“大多数”。另外，the majority of是一个固定短语，表示“……的大多数”，故答案是majority。 51. You can have food ________ (deliver) to you using food delivery apps and sites. （所给词的适当形式填空） 【答案】delivered 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：你可以使用食物配送应用程序和网站将食物配送给你。分析句子可知，设空处与前面的have food构成“have+宾语+宾语补足语”的结构，宾语food与宾语补足语deliver之间是被动关系，因此需填写deliver的过去分词形式delivered。故填delivered。 【点睛】 52. The ________ (destroy) power of the earthquake resulted in the collapse of buildings and loss of lives. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】destructive 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词。句意：地震的破坏力导致建筑物倒塌和人员伤亡。修饰名词power需用形容词destructive，作定语。故填destructive。 53.

(根据汉语提示完成句子) 【答案】addicted to 【解析】 【详解】考查固定短语。句意：有些学生对电脑游戏如此上瘾，以至于他们整夜都在玩。根据汉语提示可知，空处应用固定短语be addicted to，意为“对……上瘾”，此处作表语，需用形容词短语。故填addicted to。 第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 应用文写作 (满分15分) 56. 假如你是学生会主席李华，你校正在进行合理安排时间，健康上网宣传周活动，请你代表学生会用英语写一封倡议信，呼吁同学们利用好网络时间，平衡生活与学习。内容包括： 1. 现状说明； 2. 具体建议； 3. 发出倡议。 注意： 1. 词数80左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear fellow students, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best wishes!

I got angry quite easily and was not good at communicating with others. I had quarrels with my friends, and I was not polite to elders. Because of my bad behavior, I was sometimes punished by my father. However, it took me a long time to learn to control my temper and take the responsibility to make up for my mistakes. I still remember it was an early autumn. Some leaves started to turn yellow and the weather became cool. One day, as I was getting ready for school, my mother carelessly handed me my father’s T-shirt instead of mine. At that time, I was getting to have a larger size than my father, so when I put on the T-shirt, I felt as if I wasn’t able to breathe! Soon, I realized that it was a small mistake which was made by my mother, but somehow the breathless feeling was so strong that it made me very angry. I could feel my anger growing, bubbling up inside myself. I shouted at her, “Why did you give me the wrong T-shirt?” My mother said sorry with a smile, but I continued to shout at her without thinking much. I got it off my body so wildly, making a hole in it and threw it on the floor. Then I put on my own T-shirt and rushed out of the house before my mother could stop me. At that time, I didn’t consider how my mother was feeling. I just thought about myself. So after school, when I got home, I felt so regretful but I didn’t say a word to my mom. Feeling so frustrated, my mother shared her bad feeling with my father who was just after work from office, “See what your son has done.” I was so scared that maybe my father would punish me. But unexpectedly, instead of saying he would scold or beat me, my father quietly asked my mother to mend the T-shirt. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为100 左右。 2.续写一段，该段的开头语已为你写好。 Seeing my father’s response, I felt more ashamed-of my bad behavior. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Seeing my father’s response, I felt more ashamed of my bad behavior. He came close to me, sat down and asked me why I behaved like that in a gentle voice. Indeed, what my mother did was just a small mistake that wasn’t worth mentioning but I made a fuss. I realized it was my failure in controlling my temper that caused displeasure. I felt terribly sorry for having damaged my father’s T-shirt. On that day, I decided not to let anger take me anymore. Whenever I felt the urge to lose temper, I would try to hold my breath until I calmed down or transfer my attention to let out my bad emotion. Gradually, I changed to a better person, more patient, tolerant and compassionate. 【解析】 【导语】本文以父亲的T恤衫为线索展开，作者青少年时期脾气不好，有一次因为母亲拿错了衣服就大发脾气，甚至将父亲的T恤衫弄坏了，父亲并没有责怪作者而是问他为什么这样做，作者意识到自己控制不住情绪的问题，决定开始掌控自己的情绪，慢慢地，作者成为了一个更有耐心，容忍力和同情心的人。 【详解】1.段落续写： 由首句内容“看到父亲的反应，我为自己的不良行为感到更加羞愧。”可知，该段可描写作者看到父亲的反应十分内疚，抱歉，也意识到自己的问题，决定改正，最后成为了更好的人。 2.续写线索：父亲的反应——意识到问题——决定改变——控制情绪——变成更好的人 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①询问：ask/question/enquire ②意识到：realize/be aware 情绪类 ①生气、烦恼：displeasure/ annoyance ②有同情心的：compassionate/ sympathetic 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B When photojournalist Jasper Doest arrived in the Transylvanian Alps to record the coexistence of humans and wildlife for his film, he planned on shooting in the forest of the Southern Carpathian woods. “It’s a beautiful mountain landscape with the forests — a very wild place,” says Doest. Instead, he found a story on the side of the road — he got up close and personal with a group of bears begging (乞求) for food. While Doest drove on a mountain pass, the bears were hanging around on the roadside. So he stopped and rolled down his window to observe them, but a large brown bear headed directly for the vehicle and made his move, waiting for a tasty treat. “This is the shot,” thought Doest. He forced his fingers to press the button, getting six shots — one clear, five unclear. Then he realized just how close he’d been to the animal and its possible dangers. The region’s brown bears are usually shy around people. It takes just a few meals for them to get hooked on (迷上) human food. And, after that, they don’t stay wild long. They begin to depend on humans for existence. He met a tourist who proudly told him she’d been feeding bears on the roadside in the conservation area. “It was the saddest thing, " he says. "It made us realize why the bears had completely changed their behavior.” In the days that followed Doest saw other examples of how tourists’ handouts had changed the delicate ecosystem they were visiting. He realized the story of conservation in the region was as much about people as wildlife. “It’s about how to accept nature in our lives,” he says. So don’t feed the bears, says Doest — you could save an animal’s life, and a community’s commitment to wildlife conservation, along the way. 4. Why did Doest go to the Transylvanian Alps? A. To go hunting. B. To interview visitors. C. To go travelling. D. To prepare for his film. 5. What can we infer about Doest from paragraph 2? A. He was not afraid of bears. B. He was impatient with the bear. C. He was not good at taking pictures. D. He was nervous and excited when shooting. 6. What effect will humans’ feeding bring to the brown bears? A. They become dependent on humans. B. They have a higher risk of getting ill. C. They are likely to become humans’ pets. D. They tend to attack people more for food. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To promote his new documentary. B. To call on people not to feed wildlife. C. To record his encounter with bears D. To attract more visitors to help bears. C It’s time to put down the phone and look away from Instagram (一款照片分享的应用程序): Researchers found that people who look at pictures of food are less likely to enjoy the next meal they eat. Ryan Elder and Jeff Larson of Brigham Young University asked 232 people to look at photos of food and rate them. They divided the participants into two groups — one group looked at 60 photos of sweet foods, while the other examined 60photos of salty foods. Participants arranged each photo in order of how attractive the food looked. Afterward both groups enjoyed some salted peanuts (花生). The group that looked at pictures of salty foods liked the peanuts less than the group who looked at sweet foods, even though no one saw photos of peanuts. “If you want to enjoy your meal, avoid looking at too many pictures of food,” Larson said. “Even I felt a little sick after looking at all the sweet pictures we had.” The researchers believe that food doesn’t taste as good after viewing all those photos because looking at many photos makes people feel as if they have already experienced the sensation (感觉) of eating. Whatever someone eats after looking at photos doesn’t seem as good as what she saw. “In a way, you’re becoming tired of that taste without even eating the food,” said Elder. “It’s sensory boredom — you’ve kind of moved on. You don’t want that taste experience anymore.” But there is some good news: People need to look at a lot of food photos to experience sensory boredom. So if you want to enjoy your next brunch, play it safe and stay away from your foodie friend’s photo albums. 8. What did the researchers do in the experiment? A. They showed peanut pictures to participants. B. They chose 232 participants who enjoy eating. C. They asked participants to have salted peanuts. D. They reminded participants to avoid sweet food. 9. What happened to the participants in the salty group? A. They enjoyed the peanuts less. B. They enjoyed their meals more. C. They dared not rate the pictures. D. They compared food with others. 10 Which of the following shows “sensory boredom”? A. Lose sense of taste when tired. B. Get bored with a meal after shooting it. C. Enjoy meals less after seeing many food pictures. D. Eat more than before when the food tastes delicious. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. What makes food taste less delicious B. Why Instagram reduces desire for food C. How we can stay away from Instagram D. What causes people to enjoy salty foods D “Sorry” has become common in daily conversations and communications. We say it for all sorts of things we really shouldn’t be sorry for. Is it time to stop? “I wasn’t really that sorry,” admits Louise Julig, a freelance writer, who found she was always apologizing for the “delay” (延迟) when replying to notes, even when there wasn’t much of a delay at all. “Sorry has lost its meaning, no longer a heartfelt regret but just a subconscious (下意识的) response,” said Louise Julig. Now, faced with a blank email, Ms. Julig asks herself, did I miss something, or do something wrong? If the answer is no, she’s not sorry. I understand very well how she feels. When I searched my sent emails for the phrase “Sorry for the delay”, the result was too many for Gmail to give me an exact number. I tried to cut back on my apologies. Mostly I failed, catching myself shouting sorry! I apologized to the person I contacted when I called three minutes later than I was supposed to; then I apologized for only being able to meet him on the day I suggested, not the other; I even apologized in advance for any discomfort I might cause to him during the conversation. While apologizing too much in daily life may not have serious consequences doing so in business, especially when you’ve actually done something wrong, is just asking for trouble — you’re giving away your power, says Jeffrey Pfeffer, a professor at Stanford Graduate School of Business. People are never satisfied with an apology, he adds. Showing vulnerability only makes you look weak. Standing your ground and avoiding apologies come with risks. You might not be liked. But he thinks it’s worth it. 12. What did Louise Julig realize at last? A. She didn’t have to say sorry under many conditions. B. She couldn’t help but delay replying to others’ notes. C. She brought people trouble with delayed email reply. D. She had a misunderstanding of the meaning of “sorry”. 13. What does the author find difficult? A. Apologizing by making a phone call. B. Stopping someone from apologizing. C. Finding out why people often apologize. D. Reducing the frequency of her apologies. 14. What does the underlined word “vulnerability” mean in the last paragraph? A. Offense. B. Disability. C. Dissatisfaction. D. Weaknesses. 15 What does Jeffrey Pfeffer advise businessmen to do? A. To take others’ apologies seriously. B. To avoid offending people on purpose. C. To maintain power by avoiding apologies. D. To make sincere apologies when necessary. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Whether you’re looking to lose a few pounds, spend more time at the gym or learn a language, turning bad habits into good ones is all about self-control. Some of us have more than others. And research shows that those with more self-control tend to be happier. But the problem is that we usually only get rewarded in the future. ____16____ Michael Inzlicht is a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto and a self-control researcher. He says that the ironic thing about self-control is that those who are really good at it don’t have to practice it. ____17____ When you love and desire something that tends to be better for you, like studying, working hard or exercising, for example, you don’t have to think about doing it. Inzlicht says that these types of individuals generally have what’s called “trait self-control” meaning it’s an aspect of their personality. When it comes to improving self-control, Inzlicht says it’s difficult to change the personality that you’re born with. ____18____ A wide body of research shows that you can improve self-control for a particular behavior you want to change or a habit you’d like to develop. For example, Inzlicht says that when we get paid to make life changes, we’re more likely to make them. Some gyms will charge you a certain amount of money for a year-long membership and then give you a few cents back every time you come. ____19____ ____20____ Part of failing at developing self-control is in getting frustrated at yourself for not changing overnight. If you’re building self-control in losing weight, for instance, don’t try switching to nothing but fruits and vegetables all at once because it’s too dramatic a change — not to mention unsustainable. A. However, this doesn’t mean you can do nothing about it. B. Another tip for success, says Inzlicht, is making gradual steps. C. Even a small amount of money can encourage people to work out. D. They can maintain the good habits all the time without much effort. E. Thus, we are constantly weighing whether to wait or to have it right now. F. Don’t be afraid of frustration, since it is necessary for your improvement. G. Actually, self-control improvement can bring about benefits to all individuals. 第三部分 语言运用 (共三节，满分40分) 第一节 完形填空 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) I was always unhappy about wind or rain.

I got angry quite easily and was not good at communicating with others. I had quarrels with my friends, and I was not polite to elders. Because of my bad behavior, I was sometimes punished by my father. However, it took me a long time to learn to control my temper and take the responsibility to make up for my mistakes. I still remember it was an early autumn. Some leaves started to turn yellow and the weather became cool. One day, as I was getting ready for school, my mother carelessly handed me my father’s T-shirt instead of mine. At that time, I was getting to have a larger size than my father, so when I put on the T-shirt, I felt as if I wasn’t able to breathe! Soon, I realized that it was a small mistake which was made by my mother, but somehow the breathless feeling was so strong that it made me very angry. I could feel my anger growing, bubbling up inside myself. I shouted at her, “Why did you give me the wrong T-shirt?” My mother said sorry with a smile, but I continued to shout at her without thinking much. I got it off my body so wildly, making a hole in it and threw it on the floor. Then I put on my own T-shirt and rushed out of the house before my mother could stop me. At that time, I didn’t consider how my mother was feeling. I just thought about myself. So after school, when I got home, I felt so regretful but I didn’t say a word to my mom. Feeling so frustrated, my mother shared her bad feeling with my father who was just after work from office, “See what your son has done.” I was so scared that maybe my father would punish me. But unexpectedly, instead of saying he would scold or beat me, my father quietly asked my mother to mend the T-shirt. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为100 左右。 2.续写一段，该段的开头语已为你写好。 Seeing my father’s response, I felt more ashamed-of my bad behavior. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
