B
I took a deep breath and walked through the front door,my arms full of groceries.A challenge lay ahead of me,someone who could hardly boil water: cooking the Easter Sunday dinner.What if I made everyone sick? It could truly be our family’s last super meal.
Making the holiday meal was my brother’s job,not mine.I could never fill his shoes.Peter had died in September at the age of 45 from a heart attack,but he’d been a natural in the kitchen all his life.He planned every course in detail,from the crescent rolls to the Dutch apple pie.
My family was lost without him,and we went out to dinner for Thanksgiving and ordered pizza for Christmas.By the time Easter rolled around,though,I couldn’t bear the idea of another holiday surrounded by takeout (外卖食品) boxes.Peter would have hated that.To him,there was nothing more important than a meal made with love.So I convinced Mom that we should cook Easter dinner together.But we were terrible cooks.
I had been thinking what to cook for Easter dinner.I’d bitten off more than I could chew. No one could do this half as well as Peter.
I stepped into the family room.Mom was still at church,but her newspaper was opened on the coffee table,to the sports section,as usual.She was a huge Notre Dame women’s basketball fan,and the featured story was about the forward Devereaux Peters.I read the headline and nearly dropped my grocery bags,Filling Peters’ Shoes.
That afternoon,cooking in the kitchen,I didn’t feel so alone.Mom and I pulled together and the Easter feast was not that bad.The ham may have been a little dry,but it was all made with love—just like Peter would have wanted.
【语篇解读】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了作者接替哥哥为家人做节日盛宴的经过,虽然作者做得没有哥哥好,但她也是和妈妈一起用爱心为家人做饭。
4.What would Peter have preferred to do if holidays had come?
A.To go out to have dinner.
B.To order pizza.
C.To show off his cooking skills.
D.To cook a big dinner for his family.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句“Making the holiday meal was my brother’s job,not mine.(准备节日大餐是我哥哥的工作,不是我的。)”可知,如果节日来临,作者的哥哥Peter就会为家人准备节日大餐。故选D项。
5.The text tells us that________.
A.the Easter dinner was the family’s last dinner
B.Mom persuaded the author to cook the Easter dinner
C.Peter enjoyed cooking a dinner with love
D.their Easter dinner this year was a complete failure
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Peter would have hated that.To him,there was nothing more important than a meal made with love.Peter会不喜欢那样(外卖)。对他来说,没有什么比用爱做的一顿饭更重要了。”可知,作者哥哥Peter喜欢用爱心做饭。故选C项。
6.By saying “I’d bitten off more than I could chew.” in Paragraph 4,the author means .
A.she wasn’t confident in cooking the Easter dinner
B.she was not able to eat a lot of food
C.the Easter dinner made her sick
D.she couldn’t cook the dinner alone
解析:选A 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段可知作者要为全家做复活节盛宴,但在这之前作者只会烧开水,并且害怕家人吃了她做的饭会生病,结合画线句后一句“No one could do this half as well as Peter.(这件事没有人有Peter做得一半好。)”可知作者觉得自己不如Peter做得好,因此画线句子应表示作者对做复活节盛宴没有信心,故选A项。
7.What might be the best title for the text ?
A.Cooking in the Kitchen.
B.Filling Peter’s Shoes.
C.Happy Easter Day.
D.Terrible Cooks.
解析:选B 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要叙述了作者接替哥哥Peter用爱心为家人做节日盛宴的事情。短语fill one’s shoes意为“妥善代职”,此短语出现在文章第二段“I could never fill his shoes.(我永远也接替不了他的位置。)”以及倒数第二段“I read the headline and nearly dropped my grocery bags,Filling Peters’ Shoes.(我读了标题Filling Peters’ Shoes,差点儿把购物袋掉在地上,)”可知B项标题符合文章想要表达的中心思想。故选B项。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了支付宝推出的电子身份证的优点和使用信息。
1.解析:选B 上文说在中国,你通常需要使用身份证证明自己的身份,下文又说支付宝推出了第一张电子身份证,此处需要一个承上启下的过渡句,既要对应上文提到的身份证这一话题,又要引出下文介绍的电子身份证,故B项But now,you can prove your identity using your smartphone.(但现在,你可以用智能手机证明你的身份)符合上下文语境。故选B。
2.解析:选D 空后说用户只需在应用程序中选择“Web ID”并按照说明操作即可,这是对空处的解释说明,说明用支付宝很容易获得电子身份证,故D项It’s quite easy to get an electronic ID card by using the Alipay app.(使用支付宝应用程序很容易获得电子身份证)符合该段文意。故选D。
3.解析:选F 空前说这些城市的人们可以用电子身份证入住酒店,购买火车票和做其他的事情,此处承接上文,讲的是使用电子身份证就不用出示标准身份证了,故F项They don’t have to show their standard ID card anymore.(他们不用再出示标准身份证了)符合本段文意。故选F。
4.解析:选A 空后说就算他们忘了带身份证,也能把事情办好,这说明电子身份证让人们有了另一种选择——即使没带标准身份证也能办事,故A项This gives people another choice.(这给了人们另一种选择)符合本段文意。故选A。
5.解析:选C 空后说在使用电子身份证之前,你必须通过指纹和面部识别扫描,此处讲的是扫描之前的步骤,故C项First,you must unlock your phone,and enter your Alipay password.(首先,你必须解锁你的手机,并输入你的支付宝密码)符合本段文意。故选C。

【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能教科书开始进入中国高中课堂。
1.was brought 考查时态和语态。句意:紧接着中央政府把人工智能课程纳入初高中课程的计划,中国第一本人工智能教材上周出版了。分析句子可知,此处是谓语动词,根据last week判断为一般过去时,主语textbook和bring out之间是动宾关系,故用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是单数。故填was brought。
2.to include 考查不定式作定语。句意:紧接着中央政府把人工智能课程纳入初高中课程的计划,中国第一本人工智能教材上周出版了。根据句意可知,此处应译为“……的计划”,所以用不定式作为名词plan的后置定语。故填to include。
3.named 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处用非谓语动词作名词textbook的后置定语,逻辑主语textbook和name(命名)之间是动宾关系,故用过去分词形式。故填named。
4.scholars 考查名词的数。scholar(学者)是可数名词,联系上下句此处应是很多学者编写了这本书,故用复数形式表示泛指。故填scholars。
5.practical 考查形容词。分析句子可知,句中use是名词,应用形容词修饰。故填practical。
6.who 考查定语从句。分析句子可知,此处是非限定性定语从句,先行词是Chen Yukun,从句 6 is also a contributor to the book.缺少主语,故用关系代词who/that,但非限不能用that。故填who。
7.have undertaken 考查时态。分析句子可知,此处是句子谓语动词,根据up till now(到目前为止)判断为现在完成时,主语high schools是复数,故用have done。故填have undertaken。
8.by 考查介词。句意:到目前为止,已经有大约40所高中通过把教科书引入课程承担起了第一批人工智能高校试点工程。根据句意可知,此处应译为“通过引入教科书进课程”,表达“通过”常用介词by。故填by。
9.globally 考查副词。分析句子可知,此处是修饰前面的整个句子,故用副词形式。故填globally。
10.a 考查冠词。句意:这本书的出版是一个突破,因为它把人工智能技术带出了象牙塔,并让它成为高中学习的一部分。breakthrough是可数名词,此处译为“一个突破”,且该词是辅音音素开头,故用不定冠词a。故填a。
