They can ‘absorb’ a large amount of water.”可知，屋顶花园里的植物能吸收大量水分，也就是有助于减少进入房屋的雨水量。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Under the house: There are buoyant materials beneath the house. During floods, the house can float like a boat.”可知，房屋下方有浮力材料，洪水期间房屋能像船一样漂浮起来，也就是当水进入时像船一样升起。故选A。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Drainage: The drainage system can remove water that enters the house.”可知，排水系统能排出进入房屋的水，也就是在洪水期间收集并排出水。故选C。 B Ye Lianping is a 96-year-old retired teacher from a village in Anhui Province. He has been teaching left-behind children there for free during the past 24 years. Teaching has always been an important part of Ye’s life. After he retired, he began offering free English-language classes to left-behind children. He first set up a classroom in his own house. Later, with the help of the government, he got another two classrooms. To provide education for more children, he also set up the Ye Lianping Scholarship Fund with almost all his money and the donations (捐赠物) from others. So far, it has helped hundreds of left-behind children. Ye is quite generous to these children, but he spends very little money on himself. He lives a very simple life. He lives with his wife in a house built over 30 years ago. He never buys any drinks. And he has been wearing the same jacket for over 40 years. Although he is getting older, Ye is never tired of teaching. In 2018, he got hurt while riding a bicycle to buy vegetables. Instead of resting in bed for recovery, he quickly returned to class with a walking stick. Ye is racing against time to spend as much time as possible on left-behind children’s education. People call him “the candlelight of the village”. But he said, “I’m just a firefly (萤火虫), making little light, not as much light as a candlelight can give.” 24. What did Ye first use as a classroom when he started teaching left-behind children? A. A rented space in the village. B. His own house. C. A government-provided building. 25. How did Ye manage to help hundreds of left-behind children besides teaching? A. By organizing fundraising events. B. By asking for more government support. C. By setting up the Ye Lianping Scholarship Fund. 26. What does the word underlined “generous” in Paragraph 3 mean in this context? A. Willing to give and share. B. Strict and demanding. C. Careful and cautious. 27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. “The Simple Life of a Retired Teacher” B. “Ye Lianping: The Candlelight of the Village” C. “Challenges Faced by Left-Behind Children” 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了安徽乡村96岁退休教师叶连平的事迹：24年来他坚持为留守儿童免费教授英语，自筹资金设立奖学金，自己却过着极其简朴的生活；即便受伤也坚持授课，用行动照亮留守儿童的求学路，被人们称为“乡村烛光”。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He first set up a classroom in his own house”可知，叶连平最初是把自己的家当作教室，给留守儿童上课。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据“To provide education for more children, he also set up the Ye Lianping Scholarship Fund with almost all his money and the donations from others. So far, it has helped hundreds of left-behind children”可知，除了授课之外，叶连平还通过设立以自己名字命名的奖学金，帮助了数百名留守儿童。故选C。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Ye is quite generous to these children”和“but he spends very little money on himself”可知，他在自己身上花钱极少。结合他拿出积蓄设立奖学金、免费授课的行为，可推断“generous”的意思是乐于付出和分享的。故选A。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕叶连平奉献事迹展开，结尾提到人们称他为“the candlelight of the village”，这个称号高度概括了他的精神价值，能体现文章主旨。故选B。 C The first cellphone was invented fifty years ago. The man who built that phone, Martin Cooper, is now 94 years old. He has been called the “father of the cellphone”. In the early 1970s, Cooper worked for American technology company Motorola. At the time, Motorola and other companies were competing (竞争) to create cellphones. Cooper made the first public call with a handheld telephone in New York City on April 3, 1973. The device (设备), called Dyna-TAC, weighed about 1 kilogram and was 28 centimeters long. He developed the phone with his team at Motorola for over five months. They could only talk on it for about 25 minutes. Cooper noted that such a call time was not a problem, because this phone was so heavy that you couldn’t hold it up for 25 minutes. Cooper said, “The only thing that I was worried about was, ‘Is this thing going to work?’ And it did. At the time, we had no way of knowing this was an important moment in history.” Today, the phone allows us to do many things. Cooper said the progress of cellphones is sure to continue long into the future. He thinks future phones will monitor our health at all times and batteries (电池) could even be replaced by human energy. He believes that one day, our phones might be small devices inside our ears. Cooper has also expressed his worry. “We don’t have any privacy (隐私) anymore because everything is now recorded somewhere,” Cooper said. However, he said hopefully that cellphones will continue to develop in ways that can greatly help humans. 28. What was Martin Cooper’s role at Motorola in the early 1970s? A. He was a competitor of Motorola. B. He provided devices for Motorola. C. He led a team to develop cellphones. 29. What can we infer about the first handheld telephone from the text? A It was not easy to hold for a long time. B. It was widely used at that time. C. It had a long battery life. 30. According to Cooper, what might happen to the cellphones in the future? A. They will become less useful. B. They will monitor our health. C. They will disappear. 31. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The history and future of cellphones. B. The inventor of the first cellphone and his life. C. The competition between Motorola and other companies. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了“手机之父”Martin Cooper发明首款手机的历史，并展望了未来手机的发展方向。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In the early 1970s, Cooper worked for American technology company Motorola. At the time, Motorola and other companies were competing to create cellphones. Cooper made the first public call with a handheld telephone…”可知，Martin Cooper在摩托罗拉领导团队开发手机。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The device, called Dyna-TAC, weighed about 1 kilogram and was 28 centimeters long… this phone was so heavy that you couldn’t hold it up for 25 minutes”可知，第一部手持电话因重量问题难以长时间持握。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He thinks future phones will monitor our health at all times…”可知，Cooper认未来手机可能会监测健康。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕首款手机发明历史和未来展望展开，同时提及发明者Cooper的贡献。故选A。 阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 Does it seem that the things you say often cause offense (冒犯)? If so, maybe people think that your English isn’t polite. ___32___! ◆ “I’m afraid I can’t” VS “NO.” It can be difficult to refuse an invitation from a friend. Simply saying “No.” would sound impolite. The next time you have to refuse an invitation,you can say, “I’m afraid I can’t.” ◆ ___33___ If someone does something you don’t like, would you like him to stop? To get the good result, instead of shouting “Stop talking on your phone in the cinema!”, ask him politely by saying “Would you mind not using your phone in the cinema, please?” ◆ “Can you pass me...?” VS “Give me...” ___34___, so it’s sometimes difficult to get what you want without causing frustration (懊恼). Change words that sound like commands (命令), such as “Give me the newspaper.” with a request like “Can you pass me the newspaper?” ◆ “Could you give me five minutes?” VS “Go away.” You’re really busy at work, but your co-worker needs your help. ____35____, just saying “Go away.” is certainly not proper. Instead, keep everyone happy by using the words “Could you give me five minutes?” A. “Would you mind...?” VS “Stop it!” B. People don’t like being told what to do C. “Could you spare me...?” VS “Don’t do it!” D. Learn how to be polite with this great guide E. When you’re busy and can’t do anything else 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. E 【解析】 【导语】本文通过对比直接生硬的表达与礼貌委婉的说法，指导读者如何在英语交流中更得体、更礼貌地表达拒绝、请求或提醒。 【32题详解】 根据前文“Does it seem that the things you say often cause offense? If so, maybe people think that your English isn’t polite.”可推知，此处应引出本文主旨：学习礼貌表达的方法。选项D“通过这份实用指南学习如何礼貌表达”总领全文，与上下文衔接自然。故选D。 【33题详解】 根据“…instead of shouting ‘Stop talking on your phone in the cinema!’, ask him politely by saying ‘Would you mind not using your phone in the cinema, please?’ ”可推知，此处通过对比直接命令“Stop...”与礼貌表达“Would you mind...?”来说明如何礼貌地提出要求。选项A“ ‘请问您介意……吗？’对比‘别这样！’ ”准确概括了这一对比。故选A。 【34题详解】 根据“...so it’s sometimes difficult to get what you want without causing frustration.”可推知，前半句应解释原因：人们不喜欢被命令。选项B“人们不喜欢被指挥做事”符合语境。故选B。 【35题详解】 根据“You’re really busy at work, but your co-worker needs your help.”及后文“...just saying ‘Go away.’ is certainly not proper.”可推知，此处应描述“当你很忙、无法立即帮忙”的场景。选项E“当你很忙、无法处理其他事情时”符合语境。故选E。 第三部分 知识运用（共两节，满分25分） 第一节 完形填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从短文后各题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Young Jim was glad when the ship finally arrived.

B Ye Lianping is a 96-year-old retired teacher from a village in Anhui Province. He has been teaching left-behind children there for free during the past 24 years. Teaching has always been an important part of Ye’s life. After he retired, he began offering free English-language classes to left-behind children. He first set up a classroom in his own house. Later, with the help of the government, he got another two classrooms. To provide education for more children, he also set up the Ye Lianping Scholarship Fund with almost all his money and the donations (捐赠物) from others. So far, it has helped hundreds of left-behind children. Ye is quite generous to these children, but he spends very little money on himself. He lives a very simple life. He lives with his wife in a house built over 30 years ago. He never buys any drinks. And he has been wearing the same jacket for over 40 years. Although he is getting older, Ye is never tired of teaching. In 2018, he got hurt while riding a bicycle to buy vegetables. Instead of resting in bed for recovery, he quickly returned to class with a walking stick. Ye is racing against time to spend as much time as possible on left-behind children’s education. People call him “the candlelight of the village”. But he said, “I’m just a firefly (萤火虫), making little light, not as much light as a candlelight can give.” 24. What did Ye first use as a classroom when he started teaching left-behind children? A. A rented space in the village. B. His own house. C. A government-provided building. 25. How did Ye manage to help hundreds of left-behind children besides teaching? A. By organizing fundraising events. B By asking for more government support. C. By setting up the Ye Lianping Scholarship Fund. 26. What does the word underlined “generous” in Paragraph 3 mean in this context? A. Willing to give and share. B. Strict and demanding. C. Careful and cautious. 27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. “The Simple Life of a Retired Teacher” B. “Ye Lianping: The Candlelight of the Village” C. “Challenges Faced by Left-Behind Children” C The first cellphone was invented fifty years ago. The man who built that phone, Martin Cooper, is now 94 years old. He has been called the “father of the cellphone”. In the early 1970s, Cooper worked for American technology company Motorola. At the time, Motorola and other companies were competing (竞争) to create cellphones. Cooper made the first public call with a handheld telephone in New York City on April 3, 1973. The device (设备), called Dyna-TAC, weighed about 1 kilogram and was 28 centimeters long. He developed the phone with his team at Motorola for over five months. They could only talk on it for about 25 minutes. Cooper noted that such a call time was not a problem, because this phone was so heavy that you couldn’t hold it up for 25 minutes. Cooper said, “The only thing that I was worried about was, ‘Is this thing going to work?’ And it did. At the time, we had no way of knowing this was an important moment in history.” Today, the phone allows us to do many things. Cooper said the progress of cellphones is sure to continue long into the future. He thinks future phones will monitor our health at all times and batteries (电池) could even be replaced by human energy. He believes that one day, our phones might be small devices inside our ears. Cooper has also expressed his worry. “We don’t have any privacy (隐私) anymore because everything is now recorded somewhere,” Cooper said. However, he said hopefully that cellphones will continue to develop in ways that can greatly help humans. 28. What was Martin Cooper’s role at Motorola in the early 1970s? A. He was a competitor of Motorola. B. He provided devices for Motorola. C. He led a team to develop cellphones. 29. What can we infer about the first handheld telephone from the text? A. It was not easy to hold for a long time. B. It was widely used at that time. C. It had a long battery life. 30. According to Cooper, what might happen to the cellphones in the future? A. They will become less useful. B. They will monitor our health. C. They will disappear. 31. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The history and future of cellphones. B. The inventor of the first cellphone and his life. C. The competition between Motorola and other companies. 阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 Does it seem that the things you say often cause offense (冒犯)?
