Jules Verne’s novel, Around the World in 80 Days, has inspired many people to travel around the world in unusual ways. It has also inspired several films, TV series, theatre productions and even a board game.
So where did Jules Verne get the idea? Jules Verne told a reporter that he had been sitting in a café in Paris one day when he saw a newspaper advertisement for the first ever tourist trip around the world in 1872.
In Jules Verne’s story, a wealthy English gentleman, Phileas Fogg, accepts a bet of £20,000 that he can travel round the world in 80 days. Phileas Fogg is a man who is very hard to please. For example, he fires his servant because he brings him some water to wash in that is 29°C instead of 30°C. He has a very strict routine (惯例) and he follows it to the letter every day.
Fogg employs a new servant, Passepartout, and on Wednesday, 2nd October, 1872, they set off on the journey round the world. While he’s in India, Fogg falls in love with an Indian girl, Aouda. The journey ends back in London with Fogg believing that he has arrived a day too late and that he has lost the bet. He tells Aouda that he cannot marry her now, as he's too poor. Passepartout learns that they have got the date wrong. The party travelled east, so they gained a day. Fogg hurries to his club and arrives there in time to win the bet and the story ends happily.
The story is an easy read. The humorous twists and turns of the plot keep you entertained throughout. It is a romantic adventure story that I would strongly recommend to all my friends.
34. What does the writer mean by saying “he follows it to the letter”?
A. He follows a routine written down in a letter.
B. He writes a letter about his routine every day.
C. He follows exactly the same routine every day.
D. He has written the routine down in a letter for his servant.
35. Why does Phileas Fogg employ a new servant?
A. His new servant asks for less money. B. His old servant boils the water too hot.
C. His old servant makes one little mistake. D. His old servant is always making mistakes.
36. What is the writer’s opinion of the book?
A. The book is worth reading before setting out on a long journey.
B. The book has a very serious message about world travel for readers of all ages.
C. The book is only entertaining for people who would like to read romantic novels.
D. The book is a fun adventure story with romance that everybody will enjoy reading.
(C)
While fake (虚假) news can take many forms, it can be divided into two broad types: misinformation and disinformation.
Misinformation
Misinformation is when false information is shared by someone who believes that information to be true. Normally it isn’t done on purpose.
Disinformation
Disinformation is when misleading or even false information is shared with the intention to deceive (欺骗) others.
There are lots of reasons why people share fake news. Often the person sharing it doesn’t realize that it’s fake. Sometimes it’s done to advertise a service or product, so that someone can make money. It could even be done to make people laugh.
Fake news can also be shared by someone who wants others to hear their own personal opinions and be affected by them. Still, fake news is shared to influence the opinions and beliefs of others about organizations and business.
Fake news? Question it!
To work out whether the “news” we are reading is fake, we can use our critical (批判性) thinking skills to ask ourselves the following questions.
Is it a mistake or just a joke?
People sometimes share information, believing that it’s true, because they don’t realize that it’s a joke. It might even be April Fools’ Day!
Are there lots of spelling and grammar mistakes?
If yes, it’s a sign that no one is checking the content. This could mean that those writing the content are not professional writers or journalists and the news content is untrustworthy (不可靠的).
Is the article advertising something?
Sometimes a news article can influence us to buy something. Companies will often pay a news organization to talk about their product as if it’s “news” to encourage people to buy it.
Is the headline believable?
Sensational (耸人听闻的) headlines encourage us to click on a story because they catch our attention. Some people get paid for every click, so before clicking, ask yourself, does the story sound made-up, or even impossible?
Is there bias(偏见)?
Sometimes certain facts have been left out of a story because the writer wants the readers to believe it. Bias is an underlying (隐含的) opinion that guides our actions. See if you can fact-check the story with another news source if you’re unsure.
When fake news causes stress or hurt to the person or people it targets (将……作为目标), it is often the case that those who have helped spread it will claim they were not to blame. However, sharing fake news is just like adding fuel (燃料) to a fire. If the false information doesn’t get shared, it doesn’t get seen and cannot fulfil its purpose. When it comes to fake news, it’s not enough to not write something, we must refuse to share it too.
37. What’s the main difference between disinformation and misinformation?
A. Disinformation is harmful to the public, while misinformation is not.
B. Disinformation is shared to deceive others, while misinformation is often not.
C. Disinformation is aimed at young people, while misinformation is aimed at older ones.
D. Disinformation is produced by professionals, while misinformation by ordinary people.
38. People spread fake news for the following reasons except to ________.
A. trick or entertain people B. challenge the news industry
C. make money through advertising D. influence public opinions and beliefs
39. Which of the following can help us tell if a piece of news is fake?
①a biased fact is given ②its headline is sensational
③the news content seems like a joke ④any product or service is mentioned
A ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④
40. Which of the following best describe the writer’s opinion on sharing fake news?
A. Support. B. Praise. C. Doubt. D. Disagree.

She became interested in Wheat Straw Painting when she was 16 years old. In 2015, she set up her own workroom. Now, Zhang Li realizes that Wheat Straw Painting is what she wants to do for the rest of her life.
She collects lots of wheat straw in the countryside. She dries the straw in the sun and then cuts it by hand. Colorful straws, like red, orange and brown can be found in her artworks. “They are all natural.” Zhang Li said. Different colors make her paintings beautiful.
In order to develop Wheat Straw Painting, she came up with the idea of mixing it with other traditional Chinese art. So she spent two years learning Suzhou embroidery (苏绣) from some famous artists.
One of her greatest works is a bird among flowers. It took her the whole year to finish it. The bird’s smooth-shiny and colorful feathers are made of wheat straw, while the flowers are made of silk. “In my works, you will find paintings and embroideries mix well.” said Zhang Li.
Through great effort, Zhang Li successfully brought Wheat Straw Painting to people’s attention. She said, “What I have done is just the very beginning. There is still a long way to go.”

一、听力(10%)
二、单项选择(20%)
1. In front of these old houses ________ a river, which is not wide or deep but clean.
A. stand B. stands C. run D. runs
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:在这些老房子前面流淌着一条河,它既不宽也不深但很干净。
stand站立,动词原形;stands站立,动词第三人称单数形式;run流淌,动词原形;runs流淌,动词第三人称单数形式。根据“In front of these old houses…a river”可知,本句是倒装句,主语是后面的“a river”,为第三人称单数,谓语动词需用单数形式;表示河流流淌常用动词run,应填runs。
2. It is even hotter than it was yesterday.The temperature is likely to go on ____________.
A. to rise B. rising C. to raise D. raising
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:今天比昨天更热,温度可能会继续升高。
go on doing sth继续做某事,固定搭配,所以空上应该填rise的-ing形式“rising”。
3 —I’m going to the supermarket.
—________ you are there, could you get me some bananas?
A. While B. Because C. After D. If
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我要去超市。——当你在那儿的时候,能给我买些香蕉吗?
While当……时候;Because因为;After在……之后;If如果。根据“you are there, could you get me some bananas?”可知,是希望对方在超市的时候帮忙买香蕉,“当……时候”符合语境,应填While。
4. I know how busy you are, but could I ________ a few minutes of your time to discuss how to deal with the problem?
A. take off B. take up C. take place D. take away
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:我知道你有多忙,但我能占用你几分钟时间讨论如何处理这个问题吗?
take off起飞;take up占用;take place发生;take away带走。根据“a few minutes of your time”可知,此处表示占用时间,应填take up。
5. The boy ________ on the playground ________ to his trainer that he was hurt badly.
A. lying; lied B. lied; lay C. lying; lay D. lied; lied
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:躺在操场上的男孩向他的教练撒谎说他伤得很重。
lying躺(现在分词形式);lied说谎(过去式或过去分词形式);lay躺(过去式形式),放置(动词原形)。第一个空需要填入一个现在分词作后置定语,修饰“The boy”,表示“躺在操场上的男孩”;第二个空需要填入一个动词作谓语,表示“对教练说谎”,且根据语境可知,这个动作已经发生,因此应使用过去式lied。
6. They like to talk openly to each other whenever ________ of them feels hurt.
A. both B. everyone C. either D. neither
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:他们喜欢开诚布公地交谈,无论何时他们中的任何一个感到受伤。
both两者都;everyone每一个人;either两者中的任意一个;neither两者都不。根据“each other”可知语境涉及两者,everyone不符合语法功能;根据谓语动词“feels”为第三人称单数形式,both不符合语法功能;根据句意逻辑“感到受伤时交谈”,neither不符合语境,应填either。
7. —When will the railway that connects the two cities open?
—________next year. Only two thirds ________ been built.
A. Until; has B. Not until; has
C. Until; have D. Not until; have
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——连接两个城市的铁路什么时候开通? ——到明年才开。只有三分之二已经建成了。
回答“When will...?”时,用“Not until + 时间”表示“直到……才”,符合语境(铁路明年才开通)。若单独用“Until”则通常需要与延续性动词连用,且一般不用于简略回答时间点。主语“two thirds”,此处指“铁路的三分之二”,实际为“two thirds of the railway”,中心词是“railway”(单数),故助动词用“has”。
8. When visiting the mountain village, I ________ the special food there and I think it was worth ________.
A. tried; a try B. would try; trying C. tried; being tried D. would try; a try
【答案】A
【解析】

tried;a try尝试(tried是过去时;a try是名词);would try;trying(过去将来时;现在分词);tried;being tried(过去时主动语态;被动语态);would try;a try(过去将来时;名词)。根据后半句"it was worth"可知句子描述的是过去发生的事情,第一空应用一般过去式 tried,be worth a try 是固定搭配,意为“值得一试”,而 be worth 后接动名词时主动表被动,不能用 being tried,第二空应用a try。
9. —Has Tom got ________ first place in the race?
—No, he hasn’t. But he will have ________ second try.
A. a; the B. the; the C. a; a D. the; a
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——汤姆在比赛中得了第一名吗?——不,他没有。但是他将会有再一次尝试。
根据“Has Tom got…first place in the race?”可知,序数词前加定冠词the表示特指顺序,第一空表示“第一名”;根据“But he will have…second try.”可知,“a+序数词”表示“又一,再一”,第二空表示“再一次尝试”。应填the;a。
10. “One Belt, One Road” will serve to open up our markets to China ________ other countries.
A. as long as B. as good as C. as well as D. as far as

【解析】
【详解】句意:“一带一路”倡议将有助于我们向中国以及其他国家开放市场。
as long as只要,通常用于表示条件或假设;as good as几乎,差不多,通常用于表示两个事物在质量或程度上相似;as well as和……一样好,也用于连接两个并列的事物,表示“以及”或“和”;as far as远到……,通常用于表示距离或程度。在此上下文中,句子想要表达的意思是“‘一带一路’将为中国和其他国家打开我们的市场”,所以符合题意的答案是选项C。

Jules Verne’s novel, Around the World in 80 Days, has inspired many people to travel around the world in unusual ways. It has also inspired several films, TV series, theatre productions and even a board game.
So where did Jules Verne get the idea? Jules Verne told a reporter that he had been sitting in a café in Paris one day when he saw a newspaper advertisement for the first ever tourist trip around the world in 1872.
In Jules Verne’s story, a wealthy English gentleman, Phileas Fogg, accepts a bet of £20,000 that he can travel round the world in 80 days. Phileas Fogg is a man who is very hard to please. For example, he fires his servant because he brings him some water to wash in that is 29°C instead of 30°C. He has a very strict routine (惯例) and he follows it to the letter every day.
Fogg employs a new servant, Passepartout, and on Wednesday, 2nd October, 1872, they set off on the journey round the world. While he’s in India, Fogg falls in love with an Indian girl, Aouda. The journey ends back in London with Fogg believing that he has arrived a day too late and that he has lost the bet. He tells Aouda that he cannot marry her now, as he's too poor. Passepartout learns that they have got the date wrong. The party travelled east, so they gained a day. Fogg hurries to his club and arrives there in time to win the bet and the story ends happily.
The story is an easy read. The humorous twists and turns of the plot keep you entertained throughout. It is a romantic adventure story that I would strongly recommend to all my friends.
34. What does the writer mean by saying “he follows it to the letter”?
A. He follows a routine written down in a letter.
B. He writes a letter about his routine every day.
C. He follows exactly the same routine every day.
D. He has written the routine down in a letter for his servant.
35. Why does Phileas Fogg employ a new servant?
A. His new servant asks for less money. B. His old servant boils the water too hot.
C. His old servant makes one little mistake. D. His old servant is always making mistakes.
36. What is the writer’s opinion of the book?
A. The book is worth reading before setting out on a long journey.
B. The book has a very serious message about world travel for readers of all ages.
C. The book is only entertaining for people who would like to read romantic novels.
D. The book is a fun adventure story with romance that everybody will enjoy reading.
【答案】34. C 35. C 36. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了Jules Verne的小说《八十天环游地球》,包括其创作灵感来源、故事梗概以及作者对这本书的评价。
【34题详解】
根据文章第三段“He has a very strict routine (惯例) and he follows it to the letter every day.”可知,Phileas Fogg有一个非常严格的惯例,而且每天都严格遵循,由此可推断“he follows it to the letter”意思是“他每天都严格遵循同样的惯例”。
【35题详解】
根据文章第三段“For example, he fires his servant because he brings him some water to wash in that is 29°C instead of 30°C.”以及第四段“Fogg employs a new servant...”可知,Phileas Fogg因为老仆人犯了一个小错误(水温不对)就解雇了他,然后雇了一个新仆人。

(C)
While fake (虚假) news can take many forms, it can be divided into two broad types: misinformation and disinformation.
Misinformation
Misinformation is when false information is shared by someone who believes that information to be true. Normally it isn’t done on purpose.
Disinformation
Disinformation is when misleading or even false information is shared with the intention to deceive (欺骗) others.
There are lots of reasons why people share fake news. Often the person sharing it doesn’t realize that it’s fake. Sometimes it’s done to advertise a service or product, so that someone can make money. It could even be done to make people laugh.
Fake news can also be shared by someone who wants others to hear their own personal opinions and be affected by them. Still, fake news is shared to influence the opinions and beliefs of others about organizations and business.
Fake news? Question it!
To work out whether the “news” we are reading is fake, we can use our critical (批判性) thinking skills to ask ourselves the following questions.
Is it a mistake or just a joke?
People sometimes share information, believing that it’s true, because they don’t realize that it’s a joke. It might even be April Fools’ Day!
Are there lots of spelling and grammar mistakes?
If yes, it’s a sign that no one is checking the content. This could mean that those writing the content are not professional writers or journalists and the news content is untrustworthy (不可靠的).
Is the article advertising something?
Sometimes a news article can influence us to buy something. Companies will often pay a news organization to talk about their product as if it’s “news” to encourage people to buy it.
Is the headline believable?
Sensational (耸人听闻的) headlines encourage us to click on a story because they catch our attention. Some people get paid for every click, so before clicking, ask yourself, does the story sound made-up, or even impossible?
Is there bias(偏见)?
Sometimes certain facts have been left out of a story because the writer wants the readers to believe it. Bias is an underlying (隐含的) opinion that guides our actions. See if you can fact-check the story with another news source if you’re unsure.
When fake news causes stress or hurt to the person or people it targets (将……作为目标), it is often the case that those who have helped spread it will claim they were not to blame. However, sharing fake news is just like adding fuel (燃料) to a fire. If the false information doesn’t get shared, it doesn’t get seen and cannot fulfil its purpose. When it comes to fake news, it’s not enough to not write something, we must refuse to share it too.
37. What’s the main difference between disinformation and misinformation?
A. Disinformation is harmful to the public, while misinformation is not.
B. Disinformation is shared to deceive others, while misinformation is often not.
C. Disinformation is aimed at young people, while misinformation is aimed at older ones.
D. Disinformation is produced by professionals, while misinformation by ordinary people.
38. People spread fake news for the following reasons except to ________.
A. trick or entertain people B. challenge the news industry
C. make money through advertising D. influence public opinions and beliefs
39. Which of the following can help us tell if a piece of news is fake?
①a biased fact is given ②its headline is sensational
③the news content seems like a joke ④any product or service is mentioned
A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④
40. Which of the following best describe the writer’s opinion on sharing fake news?
A. Support. B. Praise. C. Doubt. D. Disagree.
【答案】37. B 38. B 39. A 40. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了虚假新闻的两种类型:误导性信息和假消息。作者呼吁大家拒绝分享虚假新闻。
37题详解】

【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Sometimes it’s done to advertise a service or product, so that someone can make money. It could even be done to make people laugh.”和第三段“Still, fake news is shared to influence the opinions and beliefs of others about organizations and business.”可知,人们传播虚假新闻的原因有:赚钱,娱乐别人,影响他人的看法和信念。故选B。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“Is it a mistake or just a joke?”,第十二段“Is the headline believable?”和第十四段“Is there bias?”可知,本身就是一个错误或者笑话,给出了一个有偏见的事实,标题很耸人听闻都属于虚假新闻。故选A。
【40题详解】
观点态度题。根据最后一段“When it comes to fake news, it’s not enough to not write something, we must refuse to share it, too.”可知,当涉及到假新闻时,我们必须拒绝分享。故选D。
