This is the reason we gave him a middle name:Danger. 这些都没有，它会找别的事情做。它会咬我们的鞋子，在花 园里挖洞，或者把厕所里的卫生纸拿走。这就是我们给它取 名“危险”的原因。)”可知，作者给狗取名“危险”的原因是因 为它没事的时候，会将东西弄得一团糟，故选C。 22.C细节理解题。根据文章第三段“To be frank,se- veral years ago,I didn't think I was creative.I was just an ordi- nary human sticking to my daily routine.But things changed when I came across an article written by Brene Brown.She put forward a theory I had never heard of.There're no such beings as creative people or non-creative people.There're only people who use their creativity and people who don't,Brown wrote. (老实说，几年前，我并不认为自己有创造力，我只是坚持日 常生活的普通人。但当我看到Brene Brown写的一篇文章 时，情况发生了变化。她提出了一个我从未听说过的理论。 Brown写道：“没有创造性的人或者非创造性的人。只有利 用他们创造力的人和不利用他们创造力的人。”)”可知，关于 Brom创造力的理论改变了作者关于创造力的想法，故选C。 88 father came out.He begged his elder son to come in for celebra- tion.The elder son said,"I have obeyed you all these years.I have done all your work.But you never gave me even a chicken to enjoy with my friends.This son wasted all your money and property.And you prepared a fat calf for him!" Paragraph 2: His father kept calm at those words.And then he replied, "My dear son,you are always with me.All my property is yours. Your younger brother was dead.Now he is alive.He was lost for many years.Now he is found.Therefore should we not cele- brate?"The elder son understood the love behind the words of his father.He forgot everything about his younger brother.He de- cided to take part in the celebration.He was happy. 检测卷 23.D词义猜测题。根据文章第四段画线词“benign” 后文内容“It can transform and turn into anger,sOrrOw,shame and depression..(它可以转变并成为怒气、伤心、羞愧和抑 郁。)”可知，后文说到未使用的创造力可以转变为一些消极 情绪，故此处的“benign”与“harmless(没有伤害的)”意思相 近，故选D。 24.D主旨大意题。根据文章倒数第二段“What it means is that our minds need a task.It's about releasing our cre- ative energy to keep our minds healthy.(这意味着我们的思想 需要一项任务。这是关于释放我们创造力来保持我们的头 脑健康。)”可知，文章通过对小狗总是在找事情做的描述， 表达了作者认为我们需要像小狗一样，通过不断地找事情 做，通过释放创造力来保持我们的头脑健康，故文章主要讲 述的是通过做任务来保持头脑健康，故选D。 B 【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章讲述了机器人在很多领 域发挥着重要作用，未来它在教育领域能发挥哪些影响。 25.C细节理解题。由第一段中的“If'seasy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers,but some jobs need human connection and creativity.”可知，故选C。 26.C细节理解题。由第二段中的“He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants..”预测并不是一个流行的观点，即此推测没 有被广泛接受。故选C。 27.D主旨大意题。由最后一段中的“Teachers all o- ver the world are leaving because they feel overworked..”可知， 最后一段主要讲机器人如何帮助老师。故选D。 28.B推理判断题。由第三段中的“One thing is cer- tain,though.A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. 可知，作者认为机器人老师总比没有老师好，说明作者对机 器人教师持支持的态度。故选B。 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了申请马来亚大 学(UM)的详细信息。 29.C推理判断题。根据第一段“University of Malaya (UM)is the first choice of Malaysia's top students..”可知UM 的典型特征是它具有社会和文化的多样性。故选C。 30.B细节理解题。根据第一个表格“●A Diploma from recognized Institutions with at least a CGPA of 3.00( 机构的文凭，CGPA至少为3.00”可知CGPA至少为3.00，所 以“B.Chad,a graduate with a CGPA of3.3.Chad,毕业时CG- PA为3.3)”符合要求。故选B。 3l.D推理判断题。根据最后一个表格“●inancial statement showing financial capability from the bank or relevant institution for self-financing students or a letter of guarantee for sponsored students(显示银行或相关机构为自费学生提供的 财务能力的财务报表或为受资助学生提供的担保函)”可知 学生必须有充足的资金。所以申请者必须提供资金充足的 证明。故选D。 D 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了一位获得执照的海 洋生物学家南西·布莱克，前往蒙特利海湾观赏鲸鱼的一次 难忘的经历。 32.A词句猜测题。根据第二段中“For this,Ms Black might now face up to 20 years in prison and half a million dollars in fines,""Little about the accusations makes common sense.”可推知，画线词此处指的是布莱克女士遭到一个联 邦大陪审团的“指控”，选项A符合题意。故选A。 33.C推理判断题。根据第三段中“When investigators demanded footage,she gave them one of these edited videos. Prosecutors now claim that she had changed evidence intention- ally.”排除B选项：根据第二段中“The federal law in question is the 1972 Marine Mammal Protection Act,which was intended to save whales from being killed and harassed.The law also banned feeding these animals,on the theory that doing so might damage their ability to seek food naturally in future.”排除D选 项，选项C在文中未被提及，故选C。 34.D推理判断题。根据第二段中“She says she was using what she had learned from the federal agencies that are now investigating her to observe a natural feeding that was al- ready in progress.”可以推断，一样的规则不一样的看法，选 项D与文意相符，故选D。 35.C推理判断题，根据第四段“To Harvey Silverglate, 参考答案与解析⊙ the author of 'Three Felonies a Day:How the Feds Target the Innocent',this is common in America's federal justice system today."First federal regulations are often so poorly written and so vague that they are not understandable in effect.This gives too much discretion（自由裁量权)to bureaucrats and prosecutors(检察官)，with their own career ambitions,who apply them randomly.”可推知，他对美国联邦司法系统的态 度是不赞成的。选项C符合题意。故选C。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）》 【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了热带风暴的 相关知识。 36.F设空句为本段首句，应承接上文提及的名词“a tropical cyclone(热带风暴)”，并对其进行解释说明。符合本 段主题。故选F。 37.G根据本段主题句“Depending on where a tropical cyclone is in the world,it is called either a hurricane,a ty- phoon,or a cyclone.”可知“G.Such storms moving over the northeastern Pacific or the Atlantic Ocean are termed hurri- canes.(移动在东北太平洋或大西洋上的风暴称为飓风。)” 符合分析。故选G。 38.D根据前文：The centre of a tropical cyclone is called the“eye”可知，本段的核心话题为“eye”:风眼，因此可推知，设 空句应继续解释风眼在热带风暴中的地位。故选D。 39.B设空句为段首句，应是本段中心主旨句。根据 后文“A storm that is rated as a Category1 is the weakest.A Category 5 tropical cyclone is the strongest,which has winds of over300 km per hour,can cause catastrophic damage."为本段 中心主旨句。故选B。 40.A根据前文“This doesn't stop them from causing a lot of damage before they go away.”可知，风暴登陆，强度减 弱，但仍然会带来损害，因此可推知，设空句应对其登陆后的 损害作进一步的解释，故选A。 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分) 【解析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。经历一次交通小事故 后，作者开始思考人类与动物的关系，他认为我们应该保护 野生动物，因为保护它们就是保护人类自己。 41.B考查形容词及语境理解。A.cool凉爽的：B. early早的：C.wide宽的；D.quiet安静的。结合上文的“t happened on a rainy Saturday moming last month.”可知是指早 上太早了以至于路上几乎没有车，故选B。 42.B考查副词及语境理解。A.Expectedly意料之内 地；B.Suddenly突然地；C.Fortunately幸运地；D.Obviously 明显地。根据下文的“A moose jumped out”可知事发突然， 故选B项。 89 高中英语必修第三册（人教版） 43.C考查动词及语境理解。A.delay推迟；B.keep 保持；C.avoid避免；D.excuse原谅。根据下文的“I made a quick turn to the other lane.”可知此处用“避免”符合语境，故 选C项。 44.D考查形容词及语境理解。A.shocked震惊的； B.lost丢失的；C.disappointed失望的；D.injured受伤的。 结合上文“If I had not done that,the moose might have been killed”可知，此处是指如果车撞到麋鹿，那么作者和妻子也 会受伤，故选D项。 45.A考查动词及语境理解。A.stopped停止； B.thought想，认为：C.understood明白：D.tried尝试。根据 下文的“looked back in my rear view mirror'”可推测作者当时 已经停车，所以才会从后视镜里面看，故选A。 46.D考查形容词及语境理解。A.worried担心的： B.scared害怕的：C.sad伤心的：D.fine好的。结合上文 “the moose was getting up and then ran into the bush'"和下文 “we both looked at each other with a surprised expression”可 知，此处是指作者和妻子身体和心理上都很好，故选D。 47.B考查名词及语境理解。A.lans土地：B.wild- life野生动物：C.plants植物：D.oads路。根据下文的 "However,animal species have been 50 at a much faster rate”可知此处用“野生动物”符合语境，animal和wildlife是 同义词复现，故选B项。 48.C考查副词及语境理解。A.exactly确切地；B. silent山y安静地；C.continually不断地；D.mysteriously神秘 地。结合上下文可知，此处是指动物的出现和消失是一个不 间断的过程，故选C。 49.D考查形容词及语境理解。A.strange奇怪的； B.recent最近的；C.unusual通常的；D.natural自然的。结 合常识可知，物种的出现和消失是自然现象，故选D。 50.C考查动词及语境理解。A.appearing出现；B. developing发展；C.decreasing减少；D.changing改变。根据 下文的“human factors such as pollution”可知此处用“减少” 符合语境，故选C。 51.C考查介词短语及语境理解。A.according to根 据；B.instead of而非，代替；C.because of由于；D.along with 和。句意：然而，由于人类的因素，例如污染等，动物种类在 这个世纪减少的速率快得多。结合句意可知，上下文是因果 关系，故选C。 S2.D考查名词及语境理解。A.treatment治疗；B. performance表演；C.world世界；D.knowledge知识。根据下 文的“a better understanding of our own species”可知此处用 “更好的了解”符合语境，a better knowledge和a better under- standing是同义词复现，故选D。 53.C考查名词及语境理解。A.wy方式；B.law法 90 律；C.wil意愿；D.hope希望。句意：保护动物和自然的意 愿显示了社会价值。结合下文“to protect animals and nature” 可知，此处是指人类要有主动保护动物的意愿，故选C。 54.A考查动词及语境理解。A.shows显示，表明： B.includes包括；C.predicts预测；D.protects保护。结合下 文“the value of a society”可知，此处是指保护动物体现/显示 了社会价值，故选A。 55.B考查动词及语境理解。A.escape逃避；B.sur vive生存：C.refuse拒绝：D.select选择。句意：所有动物在 自然界中都有自己的角色，它们都有权利生存。根据下文的 “because humans cannot live on the Earth alone'"可知此处用 “生存”符合语境，survive和live是同义词复现，故选B。 第Ⅱ卷 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 56.as考查介词。表示“作为，当作”。 57.which/hat考查定语从句。 58.the考查冠词。the countryside是固定短语。 59.protecting考查非谓语动词作宾语。 60.national考查形容词。 6l.to convince考查非谓语动词。be determined to do …为固定短语。 62.considered考查非谓语动词。 63.invited考查动词时态。根据上下文和并列谓语动 词announced可知是一般过去时态。 64.inquiries考查名词。 65.finally考查副词。 第四部分写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 【参考范文】 Dear Susan, I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble adapting to your new school life in America,but this situation can be easily changed if you take my advice.

Harvey Danger is a metaphor(暗喻)for my mind.He is like an active and creative mind.My experience with having a creative mind is that if I don't give it a task,something will turn on itself. To be frank,several years ago,I didn't think I was creative.I was just an ordinary hu- man sticking to my daily routine.But things changed when I came across an article written by Brene Brown.She put forward a theory I had never heard of."There're no such beings as creative people or non-creative people.There're only people who use their creativity and people UNT4检测卷O who don't,Brown wrote."Unused creativity is not benign.It can transform and turn into an- ger,sorrow,shame and depression. I have a mind that is all of those things combined and,if it doesn't have anything to take its attention,it will go searching for things.It tends to do negative things or find things like worries or troubles to focus on.That doesn't mean that those with creative minds need to be busily thinking all the time.What it means is that our minds need a task.It's about releasing our creative energy to keep our minds healthy. Before I throw a ball to Harvey-because it's not only good for both of us,but also good for the garden that I don't want dug up-I'll leave you with Brown's wisdom.Just give the dog a job,and you'll have a happier life. ( )21.Why was the author's dog named Danger? A.It warned people against possi- ble dog bites. B.He was born with an active and creative mind. C.He would put things in a mess when free. D.It showed the author's creativi- ty. 27 高中英语必修第三册（人教版） )22.What changed the author's under- standing of creativity? A.His dog's positive behaviour. B.An article about daily routine. C.Brene Brown's theory about cre- ativity. D.His strong desire to fight nega- tive feelings. ( )23.What does the underlined word "be- nign"in Paragraph 3 mean? A.Attractive. B.Abnormal. C.Common. D.Harmless. ()24.What is the text mainly about? A.Training dogs to help with house- work. B.Staying creative to add to our happiness C.Avoiding leaving a dog alone in the garden D.Keeping a creative mind healthy with tasks. 2 When it comes to the jobs robots could never do,you would probably put doctors and teachers at the top of the list.It's easy to ima- gine robot cleaners and factory workers,but some jobs need human connection and creativi- ty.But are we underestimating(低估)what ro- bots can do?In some cases,they already per- form better than doctors at diagnosing（诊断) 28 illness.Also,some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person.Could there be a place for robots in education after all? British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks so.And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom:2027.He predicts robots will do the main job of transferring infor- mation and teachers will be like assistants.In- telligent robots will read students'faces,move- ments and maybe even brain signals.Then they will adapt the information to each student.How- ever,it's not a popular opinion and it's unlikely that robots will ever have empathy(同理心) and the ability to really connect with humans. One thing is certain,though.A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all.In some parts of the world,there aren't enough teachers. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won't get stressed,or tired,or move somewhere for an easier,higher-paid job. Teachers all over the world are leaving be- cause they feel overworked.Perhaps the ques- tion is not "Will robots replace teachers?"but “How can robots help teachers?”Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work,in- cluding more than 11 hours a week marking homework.If robots could cut the time teachers spend on marking homework and writing re- ports,teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best. ()25.In the opinion of most people,what kind of jobs are robots most likely to do? A.Culture-related jobs. B.Mental jobs. C.Physical jobs. D.Tiresome jobs. ()26.What can be learned about Anthony Seldon's prediction in Paragraph 2? A.It sounds disappointing. B.It seems to be puzzling. C.It isn't widely accepted. D.It has become a reality. ()27.What's the last paragraph mainly about? A.Why teachers are badly needed. B.Teachers'working conditions. C.Disadvantages of robot teachers. D.How robots help teachers. ()28.What's the author's attitude towards robot teachers? A.Opposed. B.Favourable. C.Suspicious.D.Sympathetic.

For this,Ms Black might now face up to 20 years in prison and half a million dollars in fines,after a federal grand jury indicted her this month.Little about the accusations makes com- mon sense.The federal law in question is the 1972 Marine Mammal Protection Act,which was intended to save whales from being killed and harassed.The law also banned feeding these animals,on the theory that doing so might da- mage their ability to seek food naturally in fu- ture.Feeding is what Ms Black is now accused of.She says she was using what she had learned from the federal agencies that are now investiga- ting her to observe a natural feeding that was al- ready in progress. Just as ridiculous,says Mr Biegel,is the accusation,increasingly common in federal ca- ses,that Ms Black lied to the authorities,which carries its own prison terms.Ms Black always edits the commercial videos of her whale outings to make them more interesting.When investiga- tors demanded footage(连续镜头)，she gave them one of these edited videos.Prosecutors now claim that she had changed evidence intentionally. To Harvey Silverglate,the author of"Three Felonies a Day:How the Feds Target the Inno- cent",this is common in America's federal jus- tice system today.A couple of trends have com- bined to threaten justice and freedom.First, federal regulations are often so poorly written and so vague that they are not understandable in effect.This gives too much discretion(自由裁 量权)to bureaucrats and prosecutors(检察 官)，with their own career ambitions,who apply them randomly.Second,federal law has been moving away from mens rea(“guilty mind'"）,a common-law tradition that suggests that a person who had no idea he was breaking a law should not be accused of doing so.With swollen fede- ral law system and without mens rea you can ac- cuse most people of something or other,says Mr Silverglate.The question should be,he says, whether charges are reasonable when they run “against all human instinct and experience'”. ()32.What does the underlined word "in- dicted"in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Charged. B.Warned. C.Criticized.D.Sentenced. ()33.Which of the following is NOT what Nancy Black is accused of? UNIT4检测卷O A.Feeding killer whales on a grey whale calfs blubber. B.Providing false evidence with her edited videos. C.Going whale watching for com- mercial purposes. D.Breaking the 1972 Marine Mam- mal Protection Act. ( )34.What can we infer from the pas- sage? A.According to Mr Biegel,Nancy Black has a slim chance of proving herself innocent. B.Nancy Black thought she might get away with her filming killer whales. C.Some jealous research assis- tants reported Nancy's com- mercial outings to the police. D.Those prosecutors might have different views about federal regulations from Nancy. ( )35.What is Havey Silverglate's attitude towards America's federal justice system? A.Supportive.B.Indifferent. C.Disapproving.D.Ambiguous. 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 能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。 31 N 高中英语必修第三册（人教版） Tropical Cyclones Have you ever seen a TV weatherperson pointing to a large,white spiral of storm clouds spinning over the Earth on their video screen?If so,then you've gotten a small look at what the most powerful storm in the world looks like:a tropical cyclone(热带风暴). 36. The warm air and water at the equator(赤道)rise into the atmosphere, cool off,and then sink back down.As this cycle repeats itself over and over again,the storm be- gins to grow and the winds around the storm be- gin to move faster. Depending on where a tropical cyclone is in the world,it is called either a hurricane,a ty- phoon,or a cyclone.If tropical cyclones move over the northwestern Pacific Ocean,they're called typhoons.37.
