Ⅱ.七选五
根据短文内容,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。
We know that a smartphone app can bring us a lot of benefits when we learn another language.1
Many of us have to endure hours of school lessons with our heads buried in textbooks.It's no wonder then
that technology appears to be providing a better way of learning.
Having a smartphone means you can have a virtual teacher with you wherever you go,and there is
certainly a huge demand for language learning apps.Many app developers are keen to cash in on the
demand,hoping to share a piece of the app market.2 One of many popular apps,Duolingo,offers 91
courses in 30 languages and has more than 300 million users.
3 They offer languages not popular enough to be taught at evening classes,or at most
universities.And others offer"invented"language courses in Esperanto,Elvish and Star Trek's Klingon-
lessons you might not find in a traditional classroom.Whatever you want to learn,apps allow you to go at
your own pace and fit learning around other commitments.But they're not perfect-you might not get your
head round the grammar.Lacking the peer support you could get in a classroom environment is a
challenge,too.
So,does technology spell the end of traditional classrooms and teachers?Guy Baron,head of modern
languages at Aberystwyth University,thinks not.He told the BBC that the apps are very conversational...
they're not designed for degrees,but they could be additional resources.4
Certainly technology is going to help in and outside the classroom.But motivation can be a problem
when using an app.5 Of course,if you have a genuine reason to learn another language,you will no
doubt stick with it.
A.There are numerous learning apps available.
B.Some educational apps are targeted at specific small groups.
C.A coming message may easily get distracted from your online lessons
D.The content may be not what you really want and it is quite a waste of time.
E.Apps should be used alongside classroom methods,not separated from traditional teaching.
F.It opens doors,makes you more employable,helps you make new friends,and it's fun too.
G.Attending a real lesson,facing a real teacher,probably helps you to be more devoted.

5.D推理判断题。根据第三段第三句“Aggressive wildfire

2.challenging考查非谓语动词。上文of为介词,后跟动名词短

3.s考查介词。句意:因此,许多人将极限运动如蹦极,视为
一种特殊的尝试,而不是一种运动。regard..as固定短语,
“将…视为”,故填as。
4.a考查冠词。way为可数名词,此处为泛指,应用不定冠词
且great为辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。
5.weight考查名词。句意:然而,在我看来,参加极限运动是
个很好的方式,不仅有乐趣,而且可以保持健康的体重。根据
上文a healthy body可知应填名词weight,作动词keep的宾语

6.to use考查非谓语动词。句意:极限运动会让你的身体达到
极限,所以你会消耗额外的卡路里,而且许多极限运动需要你
动用全身肌肉。require sb..to do sth.固定短语,“需要某人做
某事”,故填to useo
7.s考查主谓一致。此处描述客观事实应用一般现在时,主语

形容词wonderful作后置定语。故填wonderful。

Ⅲ.参考范文:
In ancient times,there was a man who wanted the seedlings in
his field to grow faster and went to the edge of the field every day.
But one day,two days,three days passed,and the seedlings did not
seem to grow at all.He walked up and down the field anxiously,
saying to himself,"I must think of a way to help them grow."One
day,he finally thought of something to do.He rushed to the field and
pulled up the seedlings one by one.He was exhausted from working
from noon till sunset.When he got home,he gasped for breath and
said to his son,"I am tired out.My efforts have paid off.The
seedlings all grew in great lengths."His son did not understand what
was going on.He went to the field and found that all the crops were
dead.
This fable also tells a specific truth:"More haste,less
speed.

二、培优提升训练
I,文章大意:这是一篇议论文。本文主要论述的是随着航空业
的温室气体排放量的逐年增加,作为个人来讲,放弃或严格限制
飞行次数的行为是有必要的。
L.B推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“Electric and solar-
powered airliners are reportedly in development at Wright Electric
and Airbus among others,but battery technology still falls behind
jet fuels.”(据报道,Wright Electric和Airbus等公司正在研发
电动和太阳能客机,但电池技术仍落后于喷气式飞机的燃
料。)可知,由于技术原因,用于电动飞机的电池还不足以支持
电动飞机的运行,还需要继续研究。由此可推断出,对于电力
航空公司来说,想要成功还有很长的路要走。故选B项。
2.A推理判断题。根据第三段关键句“Zoe Hatch,who lives in
Maidenhead,stopped flying in 2015 after reading up on climate
change.Her husband and their two children,11 and 15,joined
her in a family decision to switch to slow travel."Zoe Hatch
在Maidenhead,在阅读了有关气候变化的文章后,于2015年
停止了飞行。她的丈夫和他们的两个孩子,11岁和15岁,加
入她的行动中,全家人决定转换为慢旅行的出行方式。)可知,
Hatch对“慢旅行”的态度是支持的,因为全家人都将出行方
式转化为“慢旅行”,Supportive意为“支持的”,符合Hatch对
“慢旅行”的态度。故选A项。
3.A推理判断题。本题需要我们推断出作者是如何支持这篇
文章的主题的。本文主要论述的是随着航空业的温室气体排
放量的逐年增加,作为个人来讲,放弃或严格限制飞行次数的
行为是有必要的。文章中分别举出了“Zoe Hatch”和“Steve

机的出行方式,为环保尽自己的力量。由此可推断出,作者是
通过列举具体人物的例子来支特这篇文章的主题的。故选
A项。
4.C主旨大意题。本文主要论述的是随着航空业的温室气体
排放量的逐年增加,作为个人来讲,放弃或严格限制飞行次数
的行为是有必要的。在文章中,为了论证这一观点,分别列举
了“Zoe Hatch”和“Steve Melia”的例子,两个人都是因为了解
到飞机运行会排放温室气体这个问题后,才决定停止乘飞机
的出行方式。“Why some people have given up flying?”意为
“为什么有些人放弃了飞行?”,能够引出文章想要表达的主
题,吸引读者的注意。故选C项。
文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究,研究发现
人体内含有大量的微塑料颗粒。
5.C细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Measuring50to500
microns in length,microplastics come from a variety of sources,
including large plastics that break down into smaller and smaller
pieces.Therefore,much remains unknown about the common
existence of these materials within the human body"可知,微塑料
颗粒的长度在50到500微米之间,有多种来源,包括可以分
解成越来越小的碎片的较大塑料,因此,关于这些物质在人体
的普遍存在还有很多未知之处。由此可知,微塑料颗粒的大
小让我们很难知道它们普遍存在于人体中。故选C。
6.A推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The team also evaluated the
potential consumption of microplastics through inhalation...Based
on these data,the researchers calculated that our annual
consumption of microplastics via food and drink ranges from 39
000to52,000 particles.”可知,基兰·考克斯的研究小组还利
用先前报告的空气中微塑性物质浓度数据和环境保护署报告
的呼吸速率,评估了吸入过程中微塑料的潜在消耗量,根据这
些数据,研究人员计算出,我们通过食品和饮料每年消耗的微
塑料颗粒从39,000到52,000不等。由此可知,基兰·考克
斯的研究小组是通过分析数据来计算微塑料的潜在消耗量
的。故选A。
7.B细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The authors of the study
found that people who drink exclusively from plastic water bottles
absorb additional 90,000 microplastics each year,compared with
4,000 among those who only consume tap water..”可知,这项a研
究的作者发现,那些只喝塑料瓶装水的人每年会摄人90,000
个微塑料颗粒,而那些只喝自来水的人每年摄入4,000个微
塑料颗粒。由此可知,少喝塑料瓶装水有助于减少微塑料的
摄人。故选B。
8.B主旨大意题。通读全文,特别是根据第一段“Microplastics
are everywhere in our environment...A new study shows that
Americans are consuming as many as 121,000 particles each
year.”可知,微塑料在我们的环境中无处不在,在人类身上也
发现这些微小的碎片并不奇怪,一项新的研究表明,美国人每
年消耗的微塑料颗粒多达12.1万个。由此可知,本文主要介
绍的是研究发现人体内含有大量的微塑料颗粒。licroplastics
Found Within Human Bodies适合做本文最佳标题。故选B。
Ⅱ.文章大意:这是一篇说明文。我们知道,当我们学习另一种
语言时,智能手机应用程序可以给我们带来很多好处。文章就
此说明了使用智能手机应用程序学习的一些优势和与传统课堂
授课相比可能存在的一些问题。
l.F根据上文“We know that a smartphone app can bring us a lot
of benefits when we learn another language."可知,我们知道,当
我们学习另一种语言时,智能手机应用程序可以给我们带来
很多好处。由此可知,本句承接上文继续说明智能手机应用
程序的一些优点。故F选项“它打开了一扇门,让你更有就业
机会,帮助你结交新朋友,而且它也很有趣”符合上下文语境,
故选F。
2.A根据后文“One of many popular apps,Duolingo,offers91
courses in 30 languages and has more than 300 million users."
知,许多流行的应用程序之一,Duolingo,提供了30种语言的
91门课程,拥有超过3亿的用户。由此可知,本句启示下文,
说明有很多学习应用程序可供使用。故A选项“有很多学习
应用程序可供使用”符合上下文语境,故选A。
3.B根据后文“They offer languages not popular enough to be
taught at evening classes,or at most universities.And others offer
invented'language courses in Esperanto,Elvish and Star Trek's
Klingon-一lessons you might not find in a traditional classroom.”可
知,他们提供的语言并不流行,不适合在夜校或大多数大学教
授。还有一些学校提供世界语、精灵语和《星际迷航》中克林贡
语的“发明”语言课程,这些课程你可能在传统课堂上找不到。
由此可知,有一些教育程序针对的是小群体用户,他们提供的
语言并不流行。故B选项“一些教育应用程序是针对特定的小
群体的”符合上下文语境,故选B。
4.E根据上文“He told the BBC that the apps are very
conversational...they're not designed for degrees,but they could
be additional resources..”可知,他告诉BBC,这些应用程序非常
口语化…它们不是为学位而设计的,但它们可以是额外的
资源。由此可知,本句承接上文的观点说明,这些应用程序并
不属于主流的学习方法,因为它非常口语化,也不是为学位而
设计的,所以要和课堂教学方法一起使用,而不是与传统教学
分离。故E选项“应用程序应该与课堂教学方法一起使用,
而不是与传统教学分离”符合上下文语境,故选E。
25
5.G根据上文“Certainly technology is going to help in and
outside the classroom.But motivation can be a problem when
using an app.”可知,当然,技术在课堂内外都会有所帮助。但
在使用应用程序时,动机可能是个问题。由此可知,使用应用
程序学习时,可能会存在分心或者只是想玩手机这种动机不
纯的问题,所以本句承接上文说明,参加一个真正的课程,面
对一个真正的老师,可能会帮助你更投入到学习中。故G选
项“参加一个真正的课程,面对一个真正的老师,可能会帮助
你更投入”符合上下文语境,故选G。

Ⅲ.文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。文章对商家各式各样的促销
手段进行了介绍。
1.to benefit考查非谓语动词。句意:然而,如果你是想买一件,
那么多买一件来享受降价是没有意义的。根据“buying extra”
和“from price reductions”可知,此处是指多买一件来享受降
价,所以应用todo不定式作目的状语。故填to benefit。
2
or考查固定句式。句意:要么你买的东西太重,搬不回家,
要么你买的东西还新鲜,就不能用了。either.·or..意为“要
么…要么…”,为固定句式,所以此处应用连词or。故
填or。
3.that/which考查定语从句。句意:当然,商店不是慈善机
构一一他们以最赚钱的方式给商品定价。在定语从句中缺少
主语,且先行词为way,所以应用关系代词that或which。故填
that/which
4.what考查名词性从句。句意:如果他们的大多数客户都乐
意大量购买,那他们就会推广。在表语从句中缺少宾语,且是
指事物,所以应用连接代词what。故填what。
5.criticism考查名词。句意:许多超市不再进行“买一送一”的
促销活动,因为有人批评这种活动会造成浪费。根据空后
“that they lead to waste”可知,此处应用名词criticism表示“批
评”作宾语。故填criticism。
6.be offered考查被动语态。句意:然而,虽然一包香肠能便宜
几美分是件好事,但如果有时能以小包装出售,那就更好了。
动词offer意为“提供”,和主语构成被动关系,主语they代指
前文中的sausages。在情态动词could后动词应用原形。故填
be offered。
7.have started考查时态。句意:在过去的两年里,一些超市开
始销售鸡肉或沙拉包装,设计成两半,拆分成两份。根据
“Over the last two years'”可知,此处应用现在完成时。动词
start意为“开始”。故填have started。
8.designed考查非谓语动词。句意:在过去的两年里.一些超
市开始销售鸡肉或沙拉包装,设计成两半,拆分成两份。动词
design意为“设计”,和谓语之间没有连词,和逻辑主语packs
构成被动关系,且动作已完成,所以应用过去分词形式作后置
定语。故填designed。
9.the考查冠词。句意:然后,当你使用其中一部分时,另一部
分保持新鲜。the other意为“另一个”,为固定搭配,所以此处
应用定冠词the。故填the。
10.ones考查代词。句意:谁知道呢,也许一些更有远见的人
可能还会推出一系列“只为你”的包装尺寸,并提供特别优
惠。代词one意为“一个人”,在some of后应用复数形式。故
填ones o
