The answer is yes. As cities grow ever bigger, lots of people would like to leave their city and live in the countryside. ___1___ Cities like Liverpool and Glasgow have lost about 30% of their population in 30 years. But Britain’s population is still growing. ___2___ They are moving to the countryside. The English countryside has a classic image. People imagine that life in the countryside is slow and calm; that people have more space and most houses have gardens; that there are no traffic jams, no pollution, and no crime. ___3___ People in Britain want to live in the countryside. It is causing problems in some rural areas. People live in the countryside and work in the city. ___4___ Of course they don’t use buses (they are too slow) or trains (they-don’t stop in the countryside); they use cars. Little villages now have traffic problems in the morning, just like big cities! What’s more, although many people live in the countryside, they want to use supermarkets and good fast roads. . . . But they do not want to see the crowds to and from such supermarkets or hear the noise of the roads. ___5___ There is not enough to do. There are not enough activities or excitements. A.

E 【导语】本文主要讨论了英国城市人口向农村迁移的现象，分析了人们对农村生活的想象、迁移带来的问题以及农村生活的不足。 1. 根据空后 “Cities like Liverpool and Glasgow have lost about 30% of their population in 30 years.” 可知，此处应引出 “城市人口减少” 的话题。D 项 “英国城市的人口多年来一直在下降” 符合语境，空后内容是对该句的举例说明。故选 D。 2. 根据空前 “But Britain’s population is still growing.”（但英国人口仍在增长）和空后 “They are moving to the countryside.”（他们正在搬到农村）可知，此处应提出 “人口去哪里了” 的疑问，衔接上下文。A 项 “人们要去哪里？” 符合逻辑。故选 A。 3. 空前描述了人们对农村生活 “缓慢平静、空间大、无拥堵污染和犯罪” 的美好想象，空后则转折提到农村面临的问题，因此此处应起到承上启下的作用，指出这种想象并非完全真实。B 项 “在某些地方，这是真的；但在另一些地方则不然” 符合语境。故选 B。 4. 根据空前 “People live in the countryside and work in the city.”（人们住在农村，在城市工作）可知，此处应说明这种生活方式带来的结果 —— 通勤距离远。C 项 “所以他们每天要长途跋涉去上班” 承接上文，且与空后 “他们使用汽车” 的内容衔接自然。故选 C。 5. 根据空后 “There is not enough to do.

Does this situation sound familiar (熟悉)？ You are complaining (抱怨)to your parents about something. Maybe your computer isn't powerful enough to play the latest games. 1 Then you hear... When I was your age, there weren’t any computers or video games. And I didn’t get a bike until I was sixteen. And it was second-hand. 2 ” So, is it really true that life is better for teenagers now? It is certainly true that many teenagers have got more things nowadays. 3 So parents have got more money to spend on each child. And many things are cheaper than they were when our parents were children. 4 Forty years ago, no one could imagine a world with tiny computers and amazing smartphones. And now these things are necessary — we can’t imagine living without them! However, technology often means we spend more time at home. And often it's just as, with our computer or television. Teenagers don’t do enough exercise. 5 And, although young people still get on well with their friends，some people think teenagers today don’t have so many social activities as they did in the past. What do you think? How is teenage life better these days? A．And it was too big for me. B．A typical family is smaller now. C．Or your friends’ bikes are better than yours!

Because goals can help you do and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen. Successful people in life imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. 1 It's like having a sign to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers.One has a place to go to clearly in mind which can be found on a map. He can drive straight there surely without any wasted time. The other driver has no goal , or a map. 2 But he drives aimlessly(无目的地） around, never getting anywhere, just using up oil. Which driver do you want to be? 3 They decide what they want in life and then get there by setting goals and making plans. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren't difficult to set, and they aren't difficult to reach. 4 You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life. Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it. 5 They are harder to forget. Also when you write your goals in your own way， you are able to make yourself realize situations that will bring you nearer to your goals. 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使短文意思通顺、内容完整。 A．Written goals can be reviewed usually B．He starts off at the same time from the same place. C．It's up to you to find out what your goals really are. D．By setting goals you are taking control of your life. E．Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. E 4. C 5. A 【分析】试题分析：短文大意：为什么设定目标重要？因为目标可以帮助你在生活中体验到你想要的一切。生活中的赢家设定目标，成功的人在生活中想象他们的生活应该是怎样的。研究告诉我们，当我们写下目标的时候，我们更有可能实现它。 1. D根据下一句话It's like having a sign to show you where you want to go.可知该选D，通过设定目标，你可以控制你的生活。 2. B根据上句The other driver has no goal , or a map.联系下句But she drivers aimlessly(无目的地） around, never getting anywhere, just using up oil.可知该选B，同时他从同一个地方出发。 3. E联系下文Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident.可知该选E，生活中的赢家设定目标，并跟踪目标进行活动。 4. C联系下句You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life可知该选C，是由你来找出你的目标。 5. A联系上句Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it.可知该选A，书面目标通常可以被审查。 【考点定位】任务型阅读。 Passage 3 Nowadays, more and more people love going hiking.

Taking time to know your own town or city can help you see it in a new light. With the warm weather outside, now is a good time to go exploring with a trusted adult (值得信赖的成年人). 1 ◆Act like a tourist. Many times, when you live in a place, you never really explore some of the most exciting parts that a visitor might. Start by asking yourself this question: 2 Maybe you can visit a historic building, a nice park, or a new ice cream store. ◆Think about local attractions (景点). First, do some work online and talk to an adult about where to go. 3 A local museum or zoo might have a new show. You might also head to a national park for a hike. ◆ 4 With an adult’s guide (向导), look up walking tours for a whole new way to explore your city. Some cities have walking tours about a topic, like food or local parks.

We once thought that we were unbeatable at board games like chess and go (围棋). But now we know that developed AI systems (系统) can beat the best human players. 1 But even the most intelligent (智能的) systems are good at only a few kinds of jobs. Truly intelligent machines must be able to learn. 2 For example, it takes humans only about 20-30 hours to learn how to drive properly, but at present no machine can drive independently as well as a human, even after thousands of hours. Today some machines are so intelligent that some people consider them to be a risk. They worry that machines will become smarter than us and take over the world. 3 Another problem is how to control the behavior (行为) of intelligent machines. We can “educate” machines to behave properly—the same way we educate our kids. We can make rules for them to make sure their behavior is proper. 4 I am confident (自信的) in our ability to deal with the problems of new technologies successfully as they appear. What excites me most about the future of AI is discovering more secrets of intelligence. 5 So that we can better understand the world. I also hope that we will be able to improve AI more successfully to help us live more comfortable lives in the future. A．Every new technology brings with it some unexpected results. B．Actually, intelligence does not mean one will control the other. C．Today, there are other jobs which AI systems can perform better than humans. D．That would help us build more intelligent systems. E．Humans learn naturally, but the best learning machines still cannot. 【答案】1. C 2. E 3. B 4. A 5. D 【导语】本文主要探讨了人工智能与人类能力的对比。AI在棋类等特定领域超越人类，但通用学习能力仍远不及人类。同时还分析了AI发展的挑战与机遇，强调了人机互补的关系及技术治理的重要性。 1. 根据上文“But now we know that developed AI systems can beat the best human players.”及备选项可知，人工智能系统可以击败最好的人类玩家，空处应是继续介绍AI相较于人类的优势，选项C“如今，还有许多工作是人工智能系统能够比人类做得更好的”与之匹配。故选C。 2. 根据上下文“Truly intelligent machines must be able to learn…For example, it takes humans only about 20-30 hours to learn how to drive properly, but at present no machine can drive independently as well as a human, even after thousands of hours.”及备选项可知，上文指出了人工智能应该具备学习的能力，下文在举例说明人类学习的优势，则空处应是引出人工智能无法与人类比拟的优势，选项E“人类是通过自然的方式学习的，但最优秀的学习机器仍然无法做到”与之匹配。故选E。 3. 根据下文“Another problem is how to control the behavior of intelligent machines.”及备选项可知，空处应是引出与控制人工智能行为相关的信息，选项B“实际上，智能并不意味着一方能够控制另一方”与之匹配。故选B。 4. 根据下文“I am confident in our ability to deal with the problems of new technologies successfully as they appear.”及备选项可知，作者有信心可以成功解决新技术所带来的问题，空处应是引出新技术给社会带来的改变，选项A“每一种新技术都会带来一些意想不到的结果”与之匹配。故选A。 5. 根据“discovering more secrets of intelligence…So that we can better understand the world”及备选项可知，空处应是引出发现人工智能的秘密对人类的好处，选项D“这将有助于我们构建更智能的系统”与之匹配。故选D。 Passage 1 The Mid-Autumn Festival holds great importance in China.

Imagining yourself in someone else’s experiences while talking one-on-one is a great way to experience a different point of view. When you talk with other people, listen closely. Make sure to listen even if you don’t share their opinions and make eye contact while they are talking. 2 Let them know you are listening. Respect people’s differences. 3 Whenever you interact with someone else, take a moment to remind yourself that they may not share your worldview and that is okay. For example, you might have a coworker who performs a specific task different from what you do. His approach might be very different, but still effective. Think about how you would feel in another person’s situation. If you meet someone who has experienced a misfortune, imagine how you would feel if you had a similar experience? Why might you feel that way? 4 These questions lead you to build empathy to others. 5 For example, if you work at a local homeless shelter and hear about the stories people there share about steeping on the street, then you might begin to feel fortunate for having a roof over your head and a bed to sleep. Tasting different people’s experiences is another great way to gain opinion. A．Volunteer to help less fortunate people. B．Then what could be done to make it easier? C．What might you do to handle the experience? D．Ask them questions if anything they say is unclear to you. E．Realising not everyone shares your values helps you see things differently. 【答案】1. B 2.

A 【分析】这是一篇说明文。从不同的角度看问题，你会对问题有新的理解。但是，要走出自己的世界，从别人的角度看问题，是很难的。文章主要介绍了从别人的角度看问题的方法。 1. 根据上文“By looking at things from a different view, you can gain new understanding about problems But it can be difficult to step outside of your world and see things from someone else’s point of view.(从不同的角度看问题，你会对问题有新的理解。但是，要走出自己的世界，从别人的角度看问题，是很难的)”和下文从别人的角度看问题的方法，该空应该对“从别人的角度看问题的方法”进行了提问，故B选项“那么可以做些什么使它更容易呢？”符合语境。故选B。 2. 根据上文“Listen to other people carefully. Imagining yourself in someone else's experiences while talking one-on-one is a great way to experience a different point of view. When you talk with other people, listen closely. Make sure to listen even if you don't share their opinions and make eye contact while they are talking.(认真倾听他人。在一对一交谈时，想象自己处于别人的经历中，这是体验不同观点的好方法。当你和别人交谈时，仔细听。即使你和他们的观点不同，也要确保倾听，即使他们说话的时候你没有和他们有眼神交流)”以及后文“Let them know you are listening.(让他们知道你在听)”可知，本段的主旨是认真倾听，结合后文可知本句是在说明如何让他人知道你在倾听的方法，D选项中they对应上文other people。故D选项“如果你不清楚他们说什么，问他们问题。”符合语境，表明自己真的有在倾听（才会提问）。故选D。 3. 根据上文“Respect people's differences.(尊重人的差异)”以及后文“Whenever you interact with someone else, take a moment to remind yourself that they may not share your worldview and that is okay. For example, you might have a coworker who performs a specific task different from what you do. His approach might be very different, but still effective.(当你和别人交流时，花点时间提醒自己，他们可能不同意你的世界观，这没关系。例如，你可能有一位同事，他执行的特定任务与你的不同。他的方法可能非常不同，但仍然有效)”可知，本段的主旨是尊重人的差异，下文举例讲人的差异带来的好处（知道别人的方法也有效），本句应承接上文，抽象说明人的差异带来的好处，故E选项“意识到不是每个人都认同你的价值观有助于你从不同的角度看待事物。”符合语境，故选E。 4. 根据上文“Think about how you would feel in another person's situation. If you meet someone who has experienced a misfortune, imagine how you would feel if you had a similar experience? Why might you feel that way?(想想在别人的处境下你会有什么感觉。如果你遇到一个经历了不幸的人，想象一下如果你有相似的经历，你会感觉如何？为什么你会有这种感觉？)”可知，本句与上文并列，都是在对假设和别人有相似经历的情况进行设问，故C选项“你会如何处理这段经历？”符合语境，故选C。 5. 根据后文“For example, if you work at a local homeless shelter and hear about the stories people there share about steeping on the street, then you might begin to feel fortunate for having a roof over your head and a bed to sleep. Tasting different people’s experiences is another great way to gain opinion.(例如，如果你在当地的收容所工作，听说那里的人们分享了露宿街头的故事，那么你可能会开始感到幸运，因为你有一个屋顶，有床睡觉。品尝不同人的经历是另一个获得意见的好方法)”可知，后文提到在当地的收容所工作，可见是在建议从事志愿者工作。故A选项“志愿帮助不幸的人。”符合语境，故选A。 Passage 2 Have you ever thought that settling even the smallest disagreement between you and your friend may become a battle, a tug-of-war over who is right and who is wrong? 1 But what matters is how we manage the conflicts（冲突）.Here are some rules we can follow to reach a win-win situation.

A 2. E 3. D 4. B 5. C 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了3种处理朋友间的矛盾的方法。 1. 根据后文“But what matters is how we manage the conflicts .Here are some rules we can follow to reach a win-win situation.（但重要的是我们如何处理冲突。以下是一些我们可以遵循的规则，以达到双赢的局面。）”可知，朋友之间发生矛盾是很正常的现象，但要注意如何处理。A现象“It is normal（这是正常的）”符合题意，故选A。 2. 根据前文“Everyone should be treated with respect, even during an argument.（每个人都应该受到尊重，即使是在争吵的时候。）”和后文“You should tell him or her to stop.(你应该告诉他或她停止。)”可知，朋友间应该互相尊重，如有朋友取笑你，应该制止。E选项“Sometimes your friend may make fun of you in an unkind way（有时你的朋友可能会以不友好的方式取笑你）”符合题意，故选E。 3. 根据后文“It means each side has a right to solve the conflict（这意味着双方都有权利解决冲突）”可知，解决冲突并不意味着有输赢。D选项“It doesn't mean someone wins and someone loses（这并不意味着有人赢有人输）”符合题意，故选D。 4. 根据前文“When everyone is talking, who does the listening?（当每个人都在说话时，谁在倾听?）”可知，本段讲述的是倾听的重要性。B选项“Do not be too quick to judge what you hear（不要急于判断你所听到的）”符合题意，故选B。 5. 根据后文“Please remember that "our way" isn't always the best.（请记住，“我们的方式”并不总是最好的。）”可知，最后一段重申观点，讲述处理矛盾分歧的重点。C选项“The key to solving disagreements is like this（解决分歧的关键是这样的）”符合题意，故选C。 Passage 3 How to Learn English Idioms (习语) One way to improve your English is to learn English idioms-and then use them. 1 They make you sound more like a native speaker. Like other languages, English has thousands of idioms which you can use in many different situations, or to talk about your feelings and opinions. So how do you learn them? Learn idioms in context It’s difficult to learn idioms through lists. 2 Make sure you have an example of how the idiom is used, and know clearly whether it’s common. This is important, because if you use the idiom in the wrong situation, it won’t sound natural. Don’t try to learn too many at once 3 For that reason, don’t try to learn more than five at any one time. Don’t forget: You’ll need to practise your new idioms (like any new vocabulary), so limit what you do in any lesson. Understand the feeling We often use an idiom to express a feeling or emotion. So for example, we say that someone has a heart of gold. Because gold is a precious metal, we can imagine that someone with a heart of gold is a good person. 4 Listen out for idioms If you hear two words used together in an unusual way, it might well be a new idiom. 5 However, usually you might need to make a note of it or ask the person who has spoken it. A．Idioms can be complex. B．Instead, learn their meanings in context. C．Idioms can add interest to what you say or write. D．In fact, it does mean that a person is very kind. E．Sometimes you can guess its meaning in context. 【答案】1. C 2. B 3. A 4. D 5. E 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了学习英语习语的具体方法。 1. 根据后文“They make you sound more like a native speaker.”（它们使你听起来更像一个讲母语的人）可知，这是在说习语的用途和好处。选项C中“习语可以增加你所说或所写的内容的趣味性。”也是在说习语的好处，符合文意。故选C项。 2. 本段主要讲的是“Learn idioms in context”（联系上下文学习习语），而B项中的“Instead, learn their meanings in context.”（相反，应该联系上下文学系它们），与本段中心意思一致。故选B项。 3. 后文说“For that reason, don’t try to learn more than five at any one time.”（基于这个原因，一次最多不要学习超过五个习语），结合实际，原因指的是“习语是很复杂的”，一次学太多容易混淆。故选A项。 4. 本段主要讲“Understand the feeling”要理解习语表达的感情。前面说“Because gold is a precious metal, we can imagine that someone with a heart of gold is a good person.”因为金子是很珍贵的金属，所以我们可以想象一个有金子般的心的人就是一个好人，而实际上也确实如此。选项D中的a person is very kind与前一句的a good person相一致，是对前文内容的肯定和总结。故选D项。 5. 本段主要讲“Listen out for idioms”要留神听习语。那么在听到习语之后该怎么做呢？后文给出了一种建议，即“However,usually you might need to make a note of it or ask the person who has spoken it”然而，通常你可以把它记下来并请教说它的人；However表明此处会提到一条不同于这种方法的建议，E项中的Sometimes 与后句中的usually 相对应，E项（有时，你可以根据上下文猜出它的意思）符合逻辑，故选E项。 Passage 4 When your pen is broken, the battery in your toy runs out, or you have some leftover food, what do you do with these things? 1 But actually, all of these pieces of trash need to be sorted(分类)separately. Garbage sorting is a big issue worldwide. 2 Shanghai has worked with Allpay to create a “green account(账户)”service for its residents(居民). Account holders get points by correctly sorting their garbage. Through the Allpay app, they can exchange the points for milk, phone cards and other products. 3 Wet waste is also known as household waste. “They are things you don’t want but that pigs can eat,” Guangzhou Daily explained. Paper, metal, glass and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste. Harmful waste includes things like medicine, batteries and fluorescent bulbs(荧光灯泡). Finally, any waste that’s not wet, recyclable or harmful will go in the “dry waste” bin. Many other Chinese cities are also using this method to sort their garbage. For example, Shenzhen has been sorting its garbage into the same four groups since 2012. Students there also receive waste-sorting guidebooks that they must study, China is improving its waste-sorting efforts. 4 . But it’s never too late to learn how to sort your trash properly and protect the environment. If you don’t sort your garbage, all of it will go to a landfill(垃圾填埋场) and be buried together. 5 The electronic waste you throw away, such as batteries, can pollute the soil and groundwater(地下水). Other pieces of garbage, like the metal part of a pen, can be used to make other things if they are properly recycled. A．The city is asking all of its residents to sort their garbage into four groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry. B．These landfills can take up large areas of ground that could have been used for planting trees or crops. C．In recent years, some Chinese cities have been working hard on it. D．There is still a long way to go E．You will probably throw them all into one bin 【答案】1. E 2. C 3. A 4. D 5. B 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了上海施行的垃圾分类措施，以及不将垃圾分类给环境带来的危害。 1. 根据上文When your pen is broken, the battery in your toy runs out, or you have some leftover food, what do you do with these things?可知当你的钢笔坏了，玩具的电池用完了，或者你有一些剩饭，你会怎么处理这些东西？由此可知，本句承接上文，回答上文提出的问题——你可能会把它们都扔到一个垃圾箱里。故E选项“你可能会把它们都扔到一个垃圾箱里”符合语境，故选E。 2. 根据后文Shanghai has worked with Allpay to create a “green account(账户)”service for its residents(居民).

In most cases, it is created with paint or spray paint. Sometimes it is just a person’s name or a rude word. Sometimes it is regarded as a public protest. Today, graffiti is often a mixture of writing and pictures, usually signed with a tag, which is a signature unique to an artist or group. Graffiti is now popular all over the world, and even art museums and galleries are collecting the works of street artists. However, there are many controversies over graffiti. 1 , while others see this as a rich form of non-traditional cultural expression. It is believed that graffiti in its modern form first became popular in the United States in the 1960s. Young adults in cities like New York would use paint in special cans to spray their tag on walls around the city. 2 . Some graffiti murals and paintings were signs marking the territories of city gangs or illegal crime groups. New Yorkers used to see the graffiti on the walls of poor neighbourhoods and subway trains as something threatening and as an example of urban decay. 3 , the work of vandals seeking to express themselves or even to make a political point. Up to the 1970s, most people hated graffiti, considering it disgusting. It was illegal and punishable by fines. Later, the image of graffiti and graffiti artists changed a lot and graffiti was no longer only found in the subways and the poor areas of cities. 4 . The popularity of hip-hop music in the late 1980s helped further spread the culture of graffiti, first in the United States and then internationally. Nowadays, graffiti has the status of “street art” and has become a separate movement expressing the street culture of young people living in big cities. 5 —in advertisements, on clothes, on toys, and even in newspapers and other media. Large international companies now realise the appeal of graffiti in advertising. A．You can find graffiti in places where you’d least expect it B．The messy names and slogans were seen as ugly and rough C．Some think it is a crime if done without a property owner’s permission D．This tag was a name they created to identify themselves and their artwork E．There was a craze for graffiti art and even some art galleries had displays of street art 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. B 4. E 5. A 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了涂鸦艺术的发展。最初，涂鸦仅仅出现在地铁和城市的贫困地区，创作者被看作为“城市破坏者”，他们通过涂鸦表达自己的观点，甚至表达自己的政治观点。后来，涂鸦和涂鸦艺术家的形象发生了很大的变化。如今，涂鸦已经有了“街头艺术”的地位，成为大城市年轻人表达街头文化的独立运动。 1. 根据前文“However, there are many controversies over graffiti.(然而，关于涂鸦的争议却很多。)”提及人们对于涂鸦艺术有争议，且后文“while others see this as a rich form of non-traditional cultural expression(而其他人则认为这是一种丰富的非传统文化表达形式)”提到了“正面态度”，由此可推知，设空句应于此形成对比，提及人们对涂鸦艺术的“反面态度”。选项C“Some think it is a crime if done without a property owner’s permission(有些人认为，如果未经业主许可就这样做是犯罪)”提到了“反面态度”，与后文形成对比关系。故选C项。 2. 根据前文“Young adults in cities like New York would use paint in special cans to spray their tag on walls around the city.(纽约等城市的年轻人会使用装在特殊罐子里的油漆，将他们的标签喷洒在城市的墙壁上。)”提到了新词汇“tag(标签)”，因此可推知，设空句应对新词汇进行解释。选项D“This tag was a name they created to identify themselves and their artwork(这个标签是他们创造的名字，用来识别他们自己和他们的艺术品)”解释了“tag(标签)”的作用，与前文衔接紧密，符合语境分析。故选D项。 3. 根据前文“New Yorkers used to see the graffiti on the walls of poor neighbourhoods and subway trains as something threatening and as an example of urban decay.(纽约人过去常常把贫民区墙上和地铁上的涂鸦看作是一种威胁，是城市衰败的一个例子。)”可知，该段在讲述过去人们对于涂鸦的反面看法。设空句应呼应该主题，提及“反面”，选项B“The messy names and slogans were seen as ugly and rough(混乱的名字和口号被认为是丑陋和粗糙的)”讲到了其反面，且与后文“the work of vandals seeking to express themselves or even to make a political point(故意破坏公物的人为了表达自己的观点，甚至为了表达自己的政治观点的作品)”在句意上衔接紧密，符合语境分析。故选B项。 4. 根据前文“Later, the image of graffiti and graffiti artists changed a lot and graffiti was no longer only found in the subways and the poor areas of cities.(后来，涂鸦和涂鸦艺术家的形象发生了很大的变化，涂鸦不再仅仅出现在地铁和城市的贫困地区。)”提及了涂鸦不仅仅出现在地铁和城市的贫困地区，由此可推知，设空句应提及其他更高档的地区。选项E“There was a craze for graffiti art and even some art galleries had displays of street art(当时人们对涂鸦艺术很狂热，一些画廊甚至有街头艺术展览)”提到了“画廊”，在句意表达上与前文衔接紧密，符合语境分析。故选E项。 5. 根据后文“in advertisements, on clothes, on toys, and even in newspapers and other media(在广告上，在衣服上，在玩具上，甚至在报纸和其他媒体上)”可知，提到了当今涂鸦艺术出现方式，选项A“You can find graffiti in places where you’d least expect it(你可以在你最意想不到的地方发现涂鸦)”中的“places”与其相呼应。故选A项。 30 / 30 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $春季高考·必胜 特训S-303五选五 2026年小高考专项突破（广东专用） 梯度训练100题 内 容 提 要 真题速递 感受真题，体验考点体系 初阶30题 牛刀小试，夯实核心考点 进阶40题 聚焦重点，提升解题能力 高阶30题 深度剖析，全面突破 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 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。 （2023.1・广东春季高考）City life is cool: but is country life cooler? The answer is yes. As cities grow ever bigger, lots of people would like to leave their city and live in the countryside. ___1___ Cities like Liverpool and Glasgow have lost about 30% of their population in 30 years. But Britain’s population is still growing. ___2___ They are moving to the countryside. The English countryside has a classic image. People imagine that life in the countryside is slow and calm; that people have more space and most houses have gardens; that there are no traffic jams, no pollution, and no crime. ___3___ People in Britain want to live in the countryside. It is causing problems in some rural areas. People live in the countryside and work in the city. ___4___ Of course they don’t use buses (they are too slow) or trains (they-don’t stop in the countryside); they use cars. Little villages now have traffic problems in the morning, just like big cities! What’s more, although many people live in the countryside, they want to use supermarkets and good fast roads. . . . But they do not want to see the crowds to and from such supermarkets or hear the noise of the roads. ___5___ There is not enough to do. There are not enough activities or excitements. A. Where are the people going? B. In some places, this is true; but in others it is not. C. So they travel long distances each day to go to work. D. The population of British cities has been falling for years. E. Besides, lots of young people say that life in the countryside is boring. Passage 1 Teenage life — better now，or in the past? Does this situation sound familiar (熟悉)？ You are complaining (抱怨)to your parents about something. Maybe your computer isn't powerful enough to play the latest games. 1 Then you hear... When I was your age, there weren’t any computers or video games. And I didn’t get a bike until I was sixteen. And it was second-hand. 2 ” So, is it really true that life is better for teenagers now? It is certainly true that many teenagers have got more things nowadays. 3 So parents have got more money to spend on each child. And many things are cheaper than they were when our parents were children. 4 Forty years ago, no one could imagine a world with tiny computers and amazing smartphones. And now these things are necessary — we can’t imagine living without them! However, technology often means we spend more time at home. And often it's just as, with our computer or television. Teenagers don’t do enough exercise. 5 And, although young people still get on well with their friends，some people think teenagers today don’t have so many social activities as they did in the past. What do you think? How is teenage life better these days? A．And it was too big for me. B．A typical family is smaller now. C．Or your friends’ bikes are better than yours! D．So they aren’t as healthy as they were in the past. E．Technology is probably the greatest change in our life. Passage 2 Why is setting goals(目标） important? Because goals can help you do and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen. Successful people in life imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. 1 It's like having a sign to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers.One has a place to go to clearly in mind which can be found on a map. He can drive straight there surely without any wasted time. The other driver has no goal , or a map. 2 But he drives aimlessly(无目的地） around, never getting anywhere, just using up oil. Which driver do you want to be? 3 They decide what they want in life and then get there by setting goals and making plans. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren't difficult to set, and they aren't difficult to reach. 4 You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life. Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it. 5 They are harder to forget. Also when you write your goals in your own way， you are able to make yourself realize situations that will bring you nearer to your goals. A．Written goals can be reviewed usually B．He starts off at the same time from the same place. C．It's up to you to find out what your goals really are. D．By setting goals you are taking control of your life. E．Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. Passage 3 Nowadays, more and more people love going hiking. Do you know what hiking is? 1 It is a good way to exercise and enjoy the outdoors. Whether you’re an experienced hiker or a beginner, hiking is good for you in many ways! Hiking helps you improve your physical strength. When you walk on different kinds of terrain (地形), your leg muscles get stronger. 2 You will find that you have more energy and feel less tired. Hiking in nature also makes your brain more active, which means it can help you get better at solving problems. While hiking, you may get into some trouble. 3 To deal with these problems, you have to think actively and come up with ideas. This helps you become more creative. What’s more, going hiking helps you reduce the stress and anxiety (焦虑). When you explore forests and mountains, the sound of leaves moving and the sight of big trees can make you feel peaceful and relaxed. 4 Sometimes, hiking can be hard. So doing it as a group helps people keep going. 5 However, whether you go hiking by yourself or with others, there are a few things you should know. These include being careful about setting fires, respecting wildlife and so on. Keep these tips in mind and enjoy the fun in the arms of nature! A．Hiking means taking a long walk in nature. B．For example, you may get lost or run out of water. C．You can go on a hike with friends or join a hiking group. D．If you go hiking a few times a week, your heart also gets healthier. E．It offers you a chance to take breaks from your stressful life. Passage 4 Most of us know some simple geographical facts, like the highest mountain or the deepest ocean in the world. But for some surprising facts about our planet, you’ll have to read on! 1 When we think of deserts, we usually picture sand and camels (沙子和骆驼). However, in the science world, a desert is a place that gets less than 250 mm of water each year. Although Antarctica (南极洲) is mostly covered in ice, it gets only about 150 mm of water every year. So it’s in fact a desert! Russia has 11 time zones (时区). Russia is the largest country in the world. 2 It has an island (岛) called Big Diomede, which is very close to Little Diomede, an island in the US. Although the two islands are only about 4 km from each other, they’re in different time zones. So there is a 21-hour time difference between them! The Dead Sea is getting smaller. The Dead Sea is the lowest (最低的) place on land, and it’s very important in the world. 3 It used to cover about 1,000 km² but now it covers only about 600 km2. Australia is wider than the moon. Australia is about 4,000 km wide, while the moon is only 3,400 km across. 4 The earth may be over 4.5 billion years old, but it can still surprise us. 5 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A．And it covers many areas. B．Antarctica is the world’s largest desert. C．It just goes to show what an amazing planet we live on! D．This makes Australia wider than the moon itself! E．But it is getting smaller because of human activities! Passage 5 You may be too busy to notice the wonderful world where you live. Taking time to know your own town or city can help you see it in a new light. With the warm weather outside, now is a good time to go exploring with a trusted adult (值得信赖的成年人). 1 ◆Act like a tourist. Many times, when you live in a place, you never really explore some of the most exciting parts that a visitor might. Start by asking yourself this question: 2 Maybe you can visit a historic building, a nice park, or a new ice cream store. ◆Think about local attractions (景点). First, do some work online and talk to an adult about where to go. 3 A local museum or zoo might have a new show. You might also head to a national park for a hike. ◆ 4 With an adult’s guide (向导), look up walking tours for a whole new way to explore your city. Some cities have walking tours about a topic, like food or local parks. You can also search for free self-guided walking tours in your area. ◆Take a photography walk (摄影漫步). 5 Pick a topic for your photos, like special dishes, local waterways, or lovely birds. And at the end of the day, you can look back on all your explorations. 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A．Find out a guided tour. B．Here is how to get started. C．See your living place in a new way with a camera. D．Then try to think about which is the best place to explore. E．If my friends came to town for the first time, where would I advise them to go? Passage 6 Humans are good at certain things but bad at other things. We once thought that we were unbeatable at board games like chess and go (围棋). But now we know that developed AI systems (系统) can beat the best human players. 1 But even the most intelligent (智能的) systems are good at only a few kinds of jobs. Truly intelligent machines must be able to learn. 2 For example, it takes humans only about 20-30 hours to learn how to drive properly, but at present no machine can drive independently as well as a human, even after thousands of hours. Today some machines are so intelligent that some people consider them to be a risk. They worry that machines will become smarter than us and take over the world. 3 Another problem is how to control the behavior (行为) of intelligent machines. We can “educate” machines to behave properly—the same way we educate our kids. We can make rules for them to make sure their behavior is proper. 4 I am confident (自信的) in our ability to deal with the problems of new technologies successfully as they appear. What excites me most about the future of AI is discovering more secrets of intelligence. 5 So that we can better understand the world. I also hope that we will be able to improve AI more successfully to help us live more comfortable lives in the future. A．Every new technology brings with it some unexpected results. B．Actually, intelligence does not mean one will control the other. C．Today, there are other jobs which AI systems can perform better than humans. D．That would help us build more intelligent systems. E．Humans learn naturally, but the best learning machines still cannot. Passage 1 The Mid-Autumn Festival holds great importance in China. Falling on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, the Mid-Autumn Festival is when family get together to celebrate autumn harvest (丰收). In Chinese culture, the full moon means reunion. 1 The Mid-Autumn Festival became an official celebration in China during the Tang Dynasty. Many believe the festival was first mentioned in The Book of Rites. It was described as a day for emperors (皇帝) to celebrate the year’s harvest by giving food and other things to the moon and hosting a great meal. But how much do you know about the typical ways to celebrate the festival? Here are some. ● 2 In traditional Chinese culture, it is believed that the moon on the festival night is the fullest and brightest of the whole year, meaning family reunion. Even if a family member is not at home, he or she will admire the same moon, seeming like they are together. ●Worship (祭拜) the moon. 3 On the night, people put mooncakes and other food on a table towards the moon, make wishes and kowtow (扣头) to the moon. Afterwards, the family will share mooncakes. ●Drink osmanthus wine (桂花酒). Drinking osmanthus wine during the Mid-Autumn Festival is a tradition that has been kept alive through the ages. 4 It’s an age-old practice in China, especially popular in Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces. ●Make and hang festival lanterns. This is an activity popular in Guangdong Province, loved especially by kids. 5 Today, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a very important family party. As we all know, “Full moon, full feelings.” A．Admire the full moon. B．This tradition can date back to ancient times. C．So all family members try their best to go home on that day. D．Drinking it with family means having a happy and lucky family. E．In some areas, people also fly Kongming lanterns to make best wishes. Passage 2 Life is a mix of good and bad days.

When playing poker, you are the most important player, and the cards you have are valuable things. 3 Always be sure to pay attention to your safety. Learn from mistakes. 4 You learn from mistakes, and rather than trying to avoid mistakes, you should try to avoid repeating the same mistake instead. If you are trying to avoid mistakes in a poker game, you will fall behind quickly. 5 Winning and losing are a part of life. You win some to lose some, just like in a game of poker. Some risky actions may be found valueless after you are neck-deep in them. In such cases, you must know when to stop, count your losses, and make a comeback better. A．Mistakes are a part of life. B．Know when to cut your losses. C．Following the rules in poker does not mean you will win, either. D．The game of poker shows life in so many ways.

A similar phrase, “dead of night”, means the middle of the night. At this time, like in the dead of winter, there is typically not much activity going on. The tip of the iceberg (冰山) In very cold places, icebergs can be found moving in the sea. Only a small part of these icebergs can be seen from above the water. Since it is hard to tell how large icebergs actually are, many ships, including the famous RMS Titanic, have hit them. This may have led to the phrase “the tip of the iceberg”, 3 . Break the ice When meeting someone for the first time, you need to break the ice. In this phrase, ice means a difficult atmosphere (氛围). 4 .

He felt like he wasn’t good enough and doubted his ability. However, when he took part in a public speaking competition, he practiced again and again and believed he could make it. Finally he won the first place. 2 Once Ramakrishna asked his students to steal a little rice from their own home. After a week all his students returned with rice except one. The student said that he saw himself stealing rice. Whatever you do, it is never hidden from one person and that is yourself. 3 Once a mother said, “Could you give me one apple?” The daughter bit (咬) into one apple and then another.The mother was sad. After a minute, “Mom, take this one.This is the sweeter one,” Suddenly the mother realized she should allow her daughter to explain first. 4 “I just ran fifth among 50, Dad,” a girl told her father. “But you are the first before the last 44 kids. Work hard and then anything is possible.” “So I will be the true first?” “Why so hurry? First make your legs stronger and it’s not about getting ahead of others but yourself.” 5 A father always pointed out the disadvantages in his son’s works.

Passage 6 Doctors say these tips will help people prevent trouble in the text neck. 1 Doctors encourage users to lift their phones to eye level rather than staring down at a screen. That way there’s no added pressure from bending the neck downwards. Besides, users can look down at their phones with their eyes rather than bending their necks. 2 If the previous step is too awkward (笨拙的), simply don’t use your smart phone as much. Many of the tasks performed on a smart phone can also be done on desktop-based apps. 3 For those who spend long periods of time on their phones, it’s important to take breaks. Take a five-minute pause for every 15 minutes of smart phone use, and this one goes for tablet and laptops users too. If you’re sitting, get up, walk around and if possible, engage in step. 4 There are simple stretching exercises that can make muscles and tendons happy again after a long texting session.
