Ⅰ.阅读理解
The official opening of Beijing Daxing International Airport caps a long design and building process. Designed by the late architect Zaha Hadid and her Chinese partners, the airport is built for the future, having a terminal the size of 97 soccer grounds-as well as customerservice robots that provide travelers with flight updates and airport information.
Called “starfish” by Chinese media for its shape of five concourses(大厅) connected to a main hall, Daxing aims to reduce walking for passengers. The airport authority has promised a distance of no more than 600 meters about eight minutes of walking—between security checkpoints and the remotest boarding gates.
This new modern airport employs a special intelligent lighting system, supported by eight big Cshaped columns that let in the sunlight, brightening the architecture and structure. Therefore it minimizes the need to use electric lighting.
To offer a more refreshing travel experience, five outdoor courtyards-with the themes “Silk Garden”, “Tea Garden”, “Porcelain(瓷)Garden”, “Countryside Garden” and “Chinese Garden”—feature at the end of the five departure lounges for use by passengers waiting for their flights. Travelers will be scanned on cameras using facial recognition. Counters will be fully automated to capture face photos and relay them each part of the journey through the airport, including security and the departure gate.
China is projected to overtake the United States as the world's biggest air travel market by 2022.The “modest” initial operational target at Daxing is to accommodate 72 million passengers and 2 million tons of goods annually by 2025.The ambitious master plan calls for the building of a total of seven runways, and moving at least 100 million passengers and 4 million tons of goods a year through the airport.

【语篇解读】 本文是说明文,介绍了“国际幸福日”的相关背景知识:创立“国际幸福日”的目的、庆礼方式以及去年人们庆祝的情况。
1.has celebrated/has been celebrating 考查时态和主谓一致。自2013年以来,联合国通过庆祝国际幸福日来强调幸福对世界人民生活的重要性。 Since 2013是现在完成(进行)时的时间状语,故用现在完成时或现在完成进行时;主语是 the United Nations,视作一个整体,谓语用单数。
2.the 考查冠词。此处特指“幸福对世界人民生活的重要性”,故用定冠词the。
3.in 考查介词。联合国邀请每一个年龄层的人以及每一个学生、企业和政府参加庆祝国际幸福日。 in celebration of “庆祝……”。
4.interestingly 考查副词。有趣的是,联合国甚至有一个卡通人物来代表这一天。此处作状语修饰整个句子,应该用副词形式。
5.focusing 考查非谓语动词。去年国际幸福日的主题是“在一起更幸福”,关注我们的共同之处,而不是我们之间的分歧。主句成分完整,因此空处是非谓语动词作伴随状语,focus与句子主语是逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词作状语。
6.connection 考查名词。根据空前的“make a new positive”和空后的“with others”可知,此处填名词 connection“联系”作make的宾语。
7.which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,“after 7. ”引导非限制性定语从句,空处指代前面的主句内容,故用 which来指代。
8.to follow 考查非谓语动词。此处是 intend sb to do sth“计划/打算/想要某人做某事”短语,故填不定式。
9.more 考查比较级。根据空前的“only a handful of happiness”可知,此处应是“这点小小的幸福将鼓励人们探索更多的幸福方式”,故此处表示比较含义,要用more。
10.join 考查祈使句。分析句子结构可知,and后的分句是主从复合句,if引导条件状语从句,主句没有主语,结合语境可以判定主句是祈使句,故填动词原形。
Ⅲ.写作
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Alice had just been appointed in the multinational bank. After one month of severe training, today was her first day to go to work.
She got up a bit earlier than usual, and decided to skip her gym workout as she did not want to risk being tired or getting late to her office on her first day. She went through her morning routine and spent a lot of time in selecting what to wear. None of her dresses seemed to appeal to her—they were either a little too casual or too dull and she definitely wanted to make an impression right from the start. Finally she settled on the white embroidered (刺绣的) dress.
She waved bye to her mom and set off cheerfully towards the bus stop. But she saw a bus leaving the stop just as she crossed the street. Now she would have to wait for a good 15 minutes. 15 minutes passed and then 30 minutes and there was no sign of the bus. “It must be stuck in heavy traffic,” a kind lady who was also waiting for the bus told her. Hearing that, Alice got anxious. She had to reach her office on time. Then she saw a taxi approaching but when she tried to stop it, the taxi driver sped by without even taking a glance at her. Alice was wondering what she could do.
It was then that a car stopped near her and a man waved to her. The driver asked her where she was going and after Alice told him that she was going to the bank at Nariman Point, the man said, “Oh, my office is in the nearby building. Can I give you a lift?” Alice hesitated for a moment and got into the car. They exchanged names and began to talk for a while. Then the driver switched on the radio and was absorbed in the song. Alice looked out of the window and imagined her first day at work. Worrying whether she was capable of the new job, and if she could get along well with her colleagues. After about ten minutes, Alice realized they were not on the familiar route to her office.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
She began to worry that she might get into the car of a bad man.
Then the car turned around a corner and Alice saw the tall building where her office was unexpectedly.
【参考范文】
She began to worry that she might get into the car of a bad man. So she asked cautiously whether they were going to her bank. The driver said that they took a new shortcut, as there was usually heavy traffic on the other one at this hour, and continued his song. That made some sense and Alice didn't say anything more. Another fifteen minutes passed, and the road was even stranger for her. That man was driving speedily and Alice became more and more anxious. She decided that when the car next stopped at the traffic lights she would jump out.
Then the car turned around a corner and Alice saw the tall building where her office was unexpectedly. She breathed a sigh of relief. Within minutes, they reached the gate of the building. “Here we are!”the driver pulled up and said. Alice got out of the car, her face turning red. She felt quite sorry for having doubted the driver. She believed there were indeed more kind people in the world. She said, “Thank you very much!”, with a big smile, and hurried to her office with great expectation. She knew she would have a good day.
