If everyone is ready for the work, it __________ easily. A. will be finished B. is finished C. are finished D. will finish 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：如果每个人都准备好了，工作就会很容易完成。 考查一般将来时的被动语态。根据“If everyone is ready for the work, it ... easily.”可知，本句是if引导的条件状语从句，根据“主将从现”原则，主句应用一般将来时；且主语it指代“the work”，与谓语finish是动宾关系，因此此处为一般将来时的被动结构：will be done。故选A。 19.

A. practise doing B. to practise doing C. to practise to do D. practising doing 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：随着学校运动会的临近，对我们来说更经常地练习做运动是很重要的。 考查非谓语动词。“It is + 形容词 + for sb. + to do sth.”是固定句型，意为“对某人来说做某事是……”，其中it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式短语。短语practise doing sth.“练习做某事”，其后要接动名词形式，故选B。 20.

A. noise B. sound C. cry D. voice 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：突然，他们听到了警车的声音。 考查名词辨析。noise通常指噪音或令人不悦的声音；sound泛指任何能被听到的声音；cry多指人或动物的哭喊声；voice特指人的嗓音。此处为警车的声音，故选A。 第二节 语法选择（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，从各题所给ABCD项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Dorothy lived on a farm in Kansas with her uncle and aunt.

Now, a new study suggests that coffee fans can make their drinks taste sweeter by simply changing the color of their cups. Scientists say that blue and glass cups, which are popular in some coffee shops, make the coffee less bitter, without any need for sugar. Researchers prove (证明) that coffee drunk from a white cup tastes bitter. They used 36 volunteers and three different colored cups—blue, white and transparent (透明的) glass to prove that. In the first experiment, the white cups made the coffee more bitter. Then, in the second experiment, coffee drunk from the white cup was found to taste less sweet when compared to the other colored cups, while the blue cup made the coffee taste the sweetest. “Our study clearly shows that the color of a cup does influence (影响) the taste of coffee” Dr George Doom of Federation University Australia wrote in an article for The Conversation. “The influence of the color of the cup on the taste of coffee reported here suggests that coffee shop owners should carefully think about the color of their cups,” he said. 46.

It is one of the greatest technological encyclopedias written in Chinese. But how much do you know about its author, Song Yingxing? Song was a brilliant scientist during the late Ming dynasty. He was born into an ordinary family in 1587 and had a happy childhood. He and his brother Song Yingsheng went to school together. Both of them were very smart. Song won third place while his brother won sixth in the provincial Imperial Exam (科举考试). Later, Song and his brother took the national Imperial Exam, but they both failed. They had no choice but to take up jobs offered to them by the provincial government. Song worked as a teacher for many years. Meanwhile, he sat for the national Imperial Exam for another four times. Unluckily, he never achieved success. On his repeated trips to the capital to take the exams, however, he learned about the different technologies that were being used in different fields. His wide knowledge enabled him to create Tiangong Kaiwu in the 1630s. The name of the Chinese encyclopedia refers to humans’ making good use of the wealth of nature with the help of technologies. The book covers more than 130 technologies of farming and manufacturing. The explanations are clear and detailed. There are also many pictures to help with the understanding of the text. The encyclopedia became popular soon after it was produced and sold to the public. The Ming dynasty fell in 1644, but Song and his brother refused to work for the new Qing government and gave up their jobs. Song lived a poor life until the day he died. In his final years, he wrote many articles and poems against the Qing government. Tens of years later, some Qing officials found these articles and poems. They were so angry that they destroyed all of Song’s works. Luckily, Tiangong Kaiwu had already spread to many other countries, though it wouldn’t find its way back to China until the end of the Qing dynasty in 1911. Finally, Chinese people were able to marvel at this great scientist again. 50. Why was the repeated trips to the capital important to Song Yingxing? A. He got a job offered by the provincial government. B. He finally achieved success because of his hard work. C. He could fight for his dream together with Song Yingsheng. D. He experienced a lot and learned practical scientific knowledge. 51. In what order did the following happen in Song Yingxing’s life? a．He wrote Tiangong Kaiwu encyclopedia. b．His works were destroyed by the government. c．He lived a poor life because he didn’t serve the government. d．He won good places in the provincial exam with his brother. e．He tried several times in the national Imperial Exam but failed. A. d, a, e, b, c B. d, e, a, c, b C. c, d, a, e, b D. c, a, b, e, d 52. What is the main focus of Tiangong Kaiwu? A. The life of working as a teacher. B. Song Yingxing’s poems and articles. C. The way human beings use technologies. D. The Songs’ knowledge learned from different fields. 53. What can we know about Tiangong Kaiwu according to the passage? A.

Volunteering not only is good for those who receive help, but also brings more good to the help-givers. For school-aged kids, volunteering helps build social skills and develop self-worth awareness (自我价值意识). Through volunteering, high school students may help themselves enter a good college, and college students can improve themselves for better jobs after graduation. To volunteer, one should know how to choose right work. If you are a first-time volunteer, short-term work will provide you with the best chance to see if the work is right for you. Short-term volunteering is especially valuable if you can help by providing skills not found at the organization. When you find the right volunteer program, serving (服务) a longer term gives you the chance to develop a higher level of skill and achieve more. (C) (D) Volunteering plays a key role in making our society (社会) stronger. Voluntary organizations provide services that help build a united society together with other organizations. Volunteering helps develop socially responsible business practice (惯例). The practice helps get business decisions made with respect for the neighborhood and environment. Socially responsible businesses also like to be known for setting up or supporting charity (慈善) programs. Want to do voluntary work? Join us!

Now, a new study suggests that coffee fans can make their drinks taste sweeter by simply changing the color of their cups. Scientists say that blue and glass cups, which are popular in some coffee shops, make the coffee less bitter, without any need for sugar. Researchers prove (证明) that coffee drunk from a white cup tastes bitter. They used 36 volunteers and three different colored cups—blue, white and transparent (透明的) glass to prove that. In the first experiment, the white cups made the coffee more bitter. Then, in the second experiment, coffee drunk from the white cup was found to taste less sweet when compared to the other colored cups, while the blue cup made the coffee taste the sweetest. “Our study clearly shows that the color of a cup does influence (影响) the taste of coffee” Dr George Doom of Federation University Australia wrote in an article for The Conversation. “The influence of the color of the cup on the taste of coffee reported here suggests that coffee shop owners should carefully think about the color of their cups,” he said. 46. What does the first paragraph mainly want to tell us? A. Much coffee in the world is bitter. B. Millions of people drink coffee around the world. C. Changing the color of the cup can make coffee taste sweeter. D. Changing the color of the cup can make coffee taste more delicious. 47. What kind of cups should you use if you want to make your coffee taste sweetest? A. The white cup. B. The yellow cup. C. The blue cup. D. The glass cup 48. According to the study, what can we learn? A. White cups can make the coffee less bitter. B. The color of the cup has an influence on the taste of coffee. C. Two more experiments are mentioned. D. Over 2.25 billion cups of coffee are drunk in the world every day. 49. What can we know about Dr George Doom according to the passage? A. He is a businessman. B. He wrote this passage. C. He is a coffee shop owner. D. He was a member of the study. Many of you should have heard of Tiangong Kaiwu. It is one of the greatest technological encyclopedias written in Chinese. But how much do you know about its author, Song Yingxing? Song was a brilliant scientist during the late Ming dynasty. He was born into an ordinary family in 1587 and had a happy childhood. He and his brother Song Yingsheng went to school together. Both of them were very smart. Song won third place while his brother won sixth in the provincial Imperial Exam (科举考试). Later, Song and his brother took the national Imperial Exam, but they both failed. They had no choice but to take up jobs offered to them by the provincial government. Song worked as a teacher for many years. Meanwhile, he sat for the national Imperial Exam for another four times. Unluckily, he never achieved success. On his repeated trips to the capital to take the exams, however, he learned about the different technologies that were being used in different fields. His wide knowledge enabled him to create Tiangong Kaiwu in the 1630s. The name of the Chinese encyclopedia refers to humans’ making good use of the wealth of nature with the help of technologies. The book covers more than 130 technologies of farming and manufacturing. The explanations are clear and detailed. There are also many pictures to help with the understanding of the text. The encyclopedia became popular soon after it was produced and sold to the public. The Ming dynasty fell in 1644, but Song and his brother refused to work for the new Qing government and gave up their jobs. Song lived a poor life until the day he died. In his final years, he wrote many articles and poems against the Qing government. Tens of years later, some Qing officials found these articles and poems.
