B When I was in middle school, I was on a family vacation in Washington DC. I found there was a homeless man down the street. On our final day in the city, when my parents went for an evening walk, I went out of our hotel room and ran down the street to the homeless man. He looked at me, surely not expecting anything from a middle school girl. I asked him what he wanted to have for dinner. He replied “Bread and water”. I ran into the store and bought a big bag of bread and a bottle of water. I ran back with a smile on my face and handed the bag and the bottle to him. His smile has been in my mind ever since. I came back to the hotel room and when my parents returned, my dad told me he had a story for me. He asked if I remembered the homeless man down the street from our hotel and I shyly nodded. He then told me a story. As they were returning from their walk, they saw the homeless man was sharing a bag full of food with other homeless people around. They were all smiling and laughing as they ate. I smiled at my dad but I have never told him to this day the other half of the story. Till today, I still haven’t forgotten that man’s smile but I wish I had the courage to do this more often. One small kind action can begin a ripple effect (连锁反应) of kindness. So please, share a smile and do something kind for the people in need. 41. Why did the author go to Washington DC? A. To visit her parents. B. To go on a vacation. C. To do some shopping. D. To meet with friends. 42. When the author went to see the homeless man, her parents _____ A. were having a walk B. were staying in the hotel C. had gone back home D. were in a food store 43. What did the homeless man do with the food the author bought him? A. He took it home and shared it with his children. B. He gave it back to the author’s parents. C. He returned it to the store for some money. D. He shared it with other homeless men. 44. It can be inferred from the passage that_________. A. homeless men usually live a happy life B. the author’s father was proud of her C. the author kept a secret to her parents D. the author was paid back by the homeless man 45. The story inspires the readers to _______ A. help those in need B. seek for their dreams C. value what they have D. face difficulties bravely C Modern technology has a strong influence on every part of our life, including the education in the universities. Ashok Goel, a professor of Georgia Institute of Technology, says he uses the Internet in almost all of the classes he teaches. Every term over 300 graduate students take his class on artificial intelligence (人工智能). The students never meet in person. All of the classes take place online — through a website, which lets students ask questions and complete their work from anywhere in the world. Having hundreds of students in a class means Ashok Goel has to answer thousands of questions. He has eight teaching assistants to help him. But even that is not enough to give all the students the help they need. So, in January, Goel had an idea. He decided to try an experiment. At the start of the spring 2016 term, he added a new member to his teaching team: Jill Watson. She was able to answer questions faster than most other teaching assistants. And she was available 24 hours a day. It was only at the end of the term that Goel’s students learned Watson’s true identity: she was not a real person like the other teaching assistants. Jill Watson was an AI computer program. And it seems Goel’s stories will become more common in the universities. A website called Campus Technology publishes stories about how colleges and universities use new technology. In August, the site published a survey of over 500 professors and their use of technology. Fifty-five percent of the professors asked students to use study materials online before coming to class. And, more than 70 percent combined (使相结合) online materials and face-to-face teaching in their classrooms. 46. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. Goel seldom uses the Internet in his class. B. The students take Goel’s class online. C. Goel occasionally meets his colleagues. D. Goel’s students dislike going to college. 47. Why does Goel have many teaching assistants to help him? A. He is not a clever professor. B. He wants to have a good sleep. C. He does not want to give answers. D. He has no time to answer all the questions. 48. What can we know about Jill Watson? A. She was a real person. B. She helped Goel with his work. C. She was one of Goel’s students. D. She could ask all the questions. 49. What does the underlined word “identity” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Who a person is. B. The name of a person. C. Where a person is from. D. A person’s contribution. 50. What is the passage mainly about? A. Ashok Goel has eight assistants to help him. B. New technology is changing our way of living. C. Modern technology greatly influences college education. D. Teachers will be completely replaced by the computers. D Gifted students in the Wichita Falls Independent School District in Texas had the opportunity to travel to STEM facilities and learn coding and other technical skills, but the transportation is not convenient. “We just started talking about, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool if we were able to design a mobile STEM lab? ’ ”says Dr. Peter E. Griffiths, the district’s associate superintendent. Educators soon realized that they could retrofit an old bus into a mobile STEM lab, which would provide increased access to career and technical education (CTE) experiences for students. Districts sold off buses when the vehicles became too old. Griffiths and his colleagues decided to retrofit one of those old vehicles. “Give me your ‘best worst’ bus,” Griffiths said to the transportation department. Soon the process of transforming began. Griffiths reached out to Reuben Rodriguez, the owner of a local car company, and explained what they wanted to do. Rodriguez agreed to work with the district on the price on condition that they could send CTE students to lend a hand with some of the building work. And bringing the bus from the dream stage to fruition has taken a lot of joint efforts of educators and the community. Called STEAM Machine, the bus looks like a device from a video game or a real-life Lego truck, and rides as a mobile maker space. “It has two touch screen TVs outside. It comes complete with drones and drone obstacle courses that will help students learn about coding in an enjoyable way,” Griffiths says. “Those are things that a lot of these kids have never experienced before.” To drive the bus, the district has hired a retiring teacher who will take the bus to various schools and engage in different lessons with students and educators. “We were so concerned about kids losing out on experiences before, and this is a solution. We aren’t going to let this go. The STEAM Machine will be equipped with all the necessary materials and resources, and it may change the way students learn and engage with their education,” Griffiths said. 51. What is the main purpose of the mobile STEM lab? A. To develop students’ interest in STEM research. B. To replace traditional school buses with electric ones. C. To provide fun activities for students during long trips D. To enable students to get more learning chances. 52. What was Rodriguez’s requirement for transforming the old bus? A. Educators needed to pay him in advance. B. Some students could help with the building work. C. The old bus should be equipped with high technology. D. The district must provide him with necessary materials. 53. What does Griffiths say about the STEAM Machine in Paragraph 3? A. It brings students fun learning experiences. B. It awakens students’ curiosity about bus driving. C. It protects students’ health with its special design. D. It saves students’ time by reducing traffic on the road. 54. What’s Griffiths’ attitude towards the future of the STEAM Machine? A. Doubtful. B. Worried. C. Hopeful. D. Unclear. 55. Which of the following best describes the features of the STEAM Machine? A. Safe and long-lasting. B. Fashionable and comfortable. C. Creative and educational. D. Cheap and eco-friendly. 第Ⅱ卷（共30分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） Normally, I loved birthdays. When my son and three daughters were little, my husband, Charles, and I always made sure to have dinner, followed by a big cake and presents. Later, when the kids grew up and lived in different states, they always called to wish me a happy birthday. But this year I could have skipped the whole day, knowing there was one call I wouldn’t be receiving, the one from my daughter Patty. She’d passed away unexpectedly just a month before. One thing which made me feel a little calm was a voice message that she’d left on my cell phone the night before she died, telling me she loved me. Over the following days I played her message of wishes over and over again, listening to the last words she said. “I love you very, very much, Mom.” Then, a couple of weeks before my birthday, while I was doing laundry (洗衣服), I accidentally dropped my phone in the washing machine. Quickly I pulled it out and dried it off, but when I checked my voicemail, Patty’s message was gone. I cried, heartbroken. Day after day I kept checking my voicemail, hoping Patty’s message would reappear. It never did. On the morning of my birthday, I received my son’s wishes. However, all I wanted for my birthday was to hear Patty’s voice again. “Happy birthday.” Charles said, “let’s go out for dinner and a movie. It might help take your mind off things.” Charles was right. I turned off my phone, settled into my seat in the movie theater and let the film take me away. But the minute it ended I started thinking about Patty again. As we were walking out of the theater, I turned on my phone. It rang, signaling I’d gotten a voice message. Probably just my youngest daughter, Leslie, calling to wish me a happy birthday, I thought. I dialed up voicemail and the message began. It was Patty’s voice, clear as a bell, saying again, “I love you very, very much, Mom.” 56. How did the family celebrate the author’s birthday when the children were young?

Have a try C. Forget it D. By all means 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：——我要去西班牙。你能告诉我你在那里的经历吗? ——当然可以。我们下课后讨论吧。A. Go ahead继续；说吧；做吧；B. Have a try试一试；C. Forget it算了吧；D. By all means当然可以。结合“Let’s discuss it after class”可知，空格处应表达肯定同意的意思，即“当然可以”，故用By all means，符合题意。故选D。 2. His vivid descriptions of wildlife quickly became popular, ________ established his reputation as one of the most famous writers. A. why B. whose C. which D. where 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：他对野生动物的生动描述迅速流行起来，这确立了他作为最著名作家之一的声誉。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面整个主句，且从句中缺少主语，需要使用关系代词which引导从句并充当主语。 3. The activity center is looking for a volunteer ______ meals to people living alone. A. to be delivered B. to deliver C. delivered D. having delivered 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：活动中心正在寻找一名志愿者为独居者送餐。句中已有谓语动词，所以用非谓语动词形式。表示将要发生的事情，用不定式作后置定语，且名词volunteer 和deliver之间是主动关系，所以用不定式的主动形式。故选B。 4. ________ is still not decided whether we will have a sports meet this term. A. It B. What C. This D. That 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：这学期我们是否举办运动会还没有决定。此处为it作形式主语，whether引导主语从句作真正主语，为了避免句子头重脚轻，英语中常用it作形式主语置于句首。 5. ______ climate change for over a decade, Mary remains increasingly concerned about its worsening effects. A. Having studied B. Studying C. To study D. Studied 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：在研究气候变化十多年后，玛丽仍然越来越担心其日益恶化的影响。句中已有谓语动词，所以用非谓语动词形式。study这个动作的执行者是Mary，两者是主动关系。并且study这个动作发生在remains increasingly concerned之前，已经持续了十多年，强调动作的先后顺序和完成性，所以用现在分词的完成式。故选A。 6. It seemed that I had become ________ my parents had wanted me to be. A. when B. where C. what D. whether 【答案】C 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】考查宾语从句。句意：似乎我已经成为了我父母希望我成为的人。动词become后面是宾语从句，从句缺少引导词，且从句中的be缺少表语，所填词应该起双重作用。故选C。 7. Doing exercise smoggy weather ________ one’s lungs instead of benefiting his health. A. causes harm to B. gives life to C. does good to D. makes use of 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：在雾霾天气锻炼会对人的肺部造成伤害，而不是有益于健康。A. causes harm to对……造成伤害；B. gives life to赋予……生命；C. does good to对……有益；D. makes use of利用。根据instead of benefiting his health(而不是有益于健康)可知，空格处应填入与benefit(有益于)意思相反的短语。 8. Jim is fond of swimming, ________ his twin brother loves reading. A. when B. and C. while D. as 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：吉姆喜欢游泳，而他的双胞胎兄弟喜欢阅读。选项词义：A. when当……时；B. and和，并且；C. while而，然而(对比两件事物)；D. as随着，因为。句中将吉姆爱游泳和他双胞胎兄弟爱阅读两种不同爱好进行对比，只有while可以用来引出对比的不同情况。 9. Generally, students’ inner motivation with high expectations from others ________ essential to their development. A. is B. are C. was D. were 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：一般来说，学生的内在动机，加上来自他人的高期望，对他们的发展至关重要。设空处作谓语，句中陈述客观事实，用一般现在时态，且主语部分有附加结构“with high expectations from others”，不影响主语students’ inner motivation的数，motivation是不可数名词，谓语用单数形式is。 10. The doctors need to be ________ about the dosage of medicine, for a tiny mistake may cause serious danger. A. exquisite B. consistent C. academic D. precise 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：医生需要对药物的剂量保持精确，因为一个微小的错误可能会导致严重的危险。A. exquisite精美的；B. consistent一致的；C. academic学术的；D. precise精确的。题干中提到a tiny mistake may cause serious danger（一个微小的错误可能会导致严重的危险），说明医生对药物剂量需要非常准确。 11. Teachers always remind us ________ we should keep promises. A. what B. that C. whether D. why 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：老师总是提醒我们应该信守诺言。空格处引导宾语从句，作动词remind的直接宾语。从句we should keep promises结构完整，不缺主干成分，且句意完整，表示陈述事实，因此需用只起连接作用、无实际词义且不充当句子成分的连词that引导。 12. I want to tell you is the deep love and respect I have for my parents. A. That B. Which C. Whether D. What 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查名词性从句。句意：“我想告诉你的是我深爱我的父母并很尊重他们。”名词性从句的连词选用规则是：根据意思，缺什么就填什么，什么都不缺就填that。我们必须特别关注what所引导的名词性从句，what引导名词性时，必须在句中担当主、宾、表等成分，意思是“……的事或东西”，一般也不能用逗号和主句分割开来，插入语除外。我们还要关注whatever与what的区别，前者有两个意思——无论什么或anything that…（任何东西），而后者只表示“……的事或东西”；whatever与no matter what的区别在于前者既可以引导名词性从句也可以引导状语从句，而后者只能引导状语从句。其他配对词的用法也是类似的。故选D。 13. How could you just ________ silently when others are in trouble? A. stand for B. stand by C. stand up D. stand out 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：当别人遇到麻烦时，你怎么能只是默默地袖手旁观呢？A. stand for代表；B. stand by；C. stand up站起来；D. stand out突出。根据“silently when others are in trouble”可知，此处表达在别人遇到麻烦时袖手旁观。 14. I’ve ordered some pizza, so we _______ worry about cooking when we get home tired. A. can’t B. dare not C. needn’t D. may not 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查情态动词的基本用法。句意：我已经点了一些披萨，所以我们回家累了就不用担心做饭了。A. can’t表示“无能力”；B. dare not表示“无勇气”；C. needn’t意为“无必要”；D. may not表示“推断”。 因为买了比萨饼，无必要担心回家后疲劳还要做饭。故选择C项。 15. — Diana, we have been working for hours. Let’s take a coffee break, shall we? — ________. But I’m up to my neck in work. A. I wish I could B. Couldn’t be better C. I have no idea D. Take your time 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——戴安娜，我们已经工作好几个小时了。我们休息一下喝杯咖啡，好吗？——我希望我能。但我的工作忙得不可开交。 A. I wish I could我希望我能；B. Couldn’t be better再好不过了；C. I have no idea我不知道；D. Take your time慢慢来。 根据后文“But I’m up to my neck in work.”可知，说话人渴望能够去休息，但实际上因为工作太忙而无法实现。 第二节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分） Like many children with autism(自闭症), my son Noah loves planes.

I found there was a homeless man down the street. On our final day in the city, when my parents went for an evening walk, I went out of our hotel room and ran down the street to the homeless man. He looked at me, surely not expecting anything from a middle school girl. I asked him what he wanted to have for dinner. He replied “Bread and water”. I ran into the store and bought a big bag of bread and a bottle of water. I ran back with a smile on my face and handed the bag and the bottle to him. His smile has been in my mind ever since. I came back to the hotel room and when my parents returned, my dad told me he had a story for me. He asked if I remembered the homeless man down the street from our hotel and I shyly nodded. He then told me a story. As they were returning from their walk, they saw the homeless man was sharing a bag full of food with other homeless people around. They were all smiling and laughing as they ate. I smiled at my dad but I have never told him to this day the other half of the story. Till today, I still haven’t forgotten that man’s smile but I wish I had the courage to do this more often. One small kind action can begin a ripple effect (连锁反应) of kindness. So please, share a smile and do something kind for the people in need. 41. Why did the author go to Washington DC? A. To visit her parents. B. To go on a vacation. C. To do some shopping. D.

Ashok Goel, a professor of Georgia Institute of Technology, says he uses the Internet in almost all of the classes he teaches. Every term over 300 graduate students take his class on artificial intelligence (人工智能). The students never meet in person. All of the classes take place online — through a website, which lets students ask questions and complete their work from anywhere in the world. Having hundreds of students in a class means Ashok Goel has to answer thousands of questions. He has eight teaching assistants to help him. But even that is not enough to give all the students the help they need. So, in January, Goel had an idea. He decided to try an experiment. At the start of the spring 2016 term, he added a new member to his teaching team: Jill Watson. She was able to answer questions faster than most other teaching assistants. And she was available 24 hours a day. It was only at the end of the term that Goel’s students learned Watson’s true identity: she was not a real person like the other teaching assistants. Jill Watson was an AI computer program. And it seems Goel’s stories will become more common in the universities. A website called Campus Technology publishes stories about how colleges and universities use new technology. In August, the site published a survey of over 500 professors and their use of technology. Fifty-five percent of the professors asked students to use study materials online before coming to class. And, more than 70 percent combined (使相结合) online materials and face-to-face teaching in their classrooms. 46. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A. Goel seldom uses the Internet in his class. B. The students take Goel’s class online. C. Goel occasionally meets his colleagues. D. Goel’s students dislike going to college. 47. Why does Goel have many teaching assistants to help him? A. He is not a clever professor. B. He wants to have a good sleep. C. He does not want to give answers. D. He has no time to answer all the questions. 48. What can we know about Jill Watson? A. She was a real person. B. She helped Goel with his work. C. She was one of Goel’s students. D. She could ask all the questions. 49. What does the underlined word “identity” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Who a person is. B. The name of a person. C. Where a person is from. D. A person’s contribution. 50. What is the passage mainly about? A. Ashok Goel has eight assistants to help him. B. New technology is changing our way of living. C. Modern technology greatly influences college education. D. Teachers will be completely replaced by the computers. 【答案】46. B 47. D 48. B 49. A 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。现代技术对我们生活的每个部分都有很大的影响，包括大学的教育。文章主要讲述了乔治亚理工学院的教授Ashok Goel几乎在他教的所有课程中都使用互联网，以及他在课程中加入人工智能的实验。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后两句“The students never meet in person. All of the classes take place online — through a website, which lets students ask questions and complete their work from anywhere in the world.(学生们从来没有见过面。所有的课程都在网上进行——通过一个网站，学生可以在世界任何地方提问并完成他们的工作)”可知，学生们在网上学习戈埃尔的课程。故选B项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Having hundreds of students in a class means Ashok Goel has to answer thousands of questions. He has eight teaching assistants to help him.(一个班有数百名学生意味着Ashok Goel必须回答数千个问题。他有八个助教帮助他)”可知，戈埃尔之所以有很多助教帮助他，是因为他没有时间回答所有的问题。故选D项。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段最后三句“At the start of the spring 2016 term, be added a new member to his teaching team: Jill Watson. She was able to answer questions faster than most other teaching assistants. And she was available 24 hours a day.(在2016年春季学期开始的时候，他的教学团队增加了一个新成员：吉尔·沃森。她能比大多数助教更快地回答问题。而且她一天24小时都有空)”可知，吉尔·沃森帮助戈埃尔工作。故选B项。 【49题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后两句“she was not a real person like the other teaching assistants. Jill Watson was an AI computer program.(她不像其他助教那样是个真实的人。吉尔·沃森是一个人工智能计算机程序)”可知，划线词是指“身份”，即一个人是谁。故选A项。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一句“Modern technology has a strong influence on every part of our life, including the education in the universities.(现代技术对我们生活的每个部分都有很大的影响，包括大学的教育)”结合下文可知，本文主要是在介绍现代技术极大地影响了大学教育。故选C项。 D Gifted students in the Wichita Falls Independent School District in Texas had the opportunity to travel to STEM facilities and learn coding and other technical skills, but the transportation is not convenient. “We just started talking about, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool if we were able to design a mobile STEM lab? ’ ”says Dr. Peter E. Griffiths, the district’s associate superintendent. Educators soon realized that they could retrofit an old bus into a mobile STEM lab, which would provide increased access to career and technical education (CTE) experiences for students. Districts sold off buses when the vehicles became too old. Griffiths and his colleagues decided to retrofit one of those old vehicles. “Give me your ‘best worst’ bus,” Griffiths said to the transportation department. Soon the process of transforming began. Griffiths reached out to Reuben Rodriguez, the owner of a local car company, and explained what they wanted to do. Rodriguez agreed to work with the district on the price on condition that they could send CTE students to lend a hand with some of the building work. And bringing the bus from the dream stage to fruition has taken a lot of joint efforts of educators and the community. Called STEAM Machine, the bus looks like a device from a video game or a real-life Lego truck, and rides as a mobile maker space. “It has two touch screen TVs outside. It comes complete with drones and drone obstacle courses that will help students learn about coding in an enjoyable way,” Griffiths says. “Those are things that a lot of these kids have never experienced before.” To drive the bus, the district has hired a retiring teacher who will take the bus to various schools and engage in different lessons with students and educators. “We were so concerned about kids losing out on experiences before, and this is a solution. We aren’t going to let this go. The STEAM Machine will be equipped with all the necessary materials and resources, and it may change the way students learn and engage with their education,” Griffiths said. 51. What is the main purpose of the mobile STEM lab? A. To develop students’ interest in STEM research. B. To replace traditional school buses with electric ones. C. To provide fun activities for students during long trips D. To enable students to get more learning chances. 52. What was Rodriguez’s requirement for transforming the old bus? A. Educators needed to pay him in advance. B. Some students could help with the building work. C. The old bus should be equipped with high technology. D.

When my son and three daughters were little, my husband, Charles, and I always made sure to have dinner, followed by a big cake and presents. Later, when the kids grew up and lived in different states, they always called to wish me a happy birthday. But this year I could have skipped the whole day, knowing there was one call I wouldn’t be receiving, the one from my daughter Patty. She’d passed away unexpectedly just a month before. One thing which made me feel a little calm was a voice message that she’d left on my cell phone the night before she died, telling me she loved me. Over the following days I played her message of wishes over and over again, listening to the last words she said. “I love you very, very much, Mom.” Then, a couple of weeks before my birthday, while I was doing laundry (洗衣服), I accidentally dropped my phone in the washing machine. Quickly I pulled it out and dried it off, but when I checked my voicemail, Patty’s message was gone. I cried, heartbroken. Day after day I kept checking my voicemail, hoping Patty’s message would reappear. It never did. On the morning of my birthday, I received my son’s wishes. However, all I wanted for my birthday was to hear Patty’s voice again. “Happy birthday.” Charles said, “let’s go out for dinner and a movie. It might help take your mind off things.” Charles was right. I turned off my phone, settled into my seat in the movie theater and let the film take me away. But the minute it ended I started thinking about Patty again. As we were walking out of the theater, I turned on my phone. It rang, signaling I’d gotten a voice message. Probably just my youngest daughter, Leslie, calling to wish me a happy birthday, I thought. I dialed up voicemail and the message began. It was Patty’s voice, clear as a bell, saying again, “I love you very, very much, Mom.” 56. How did the family celebrate the author’s birthday when the children were young? (no more than 10 words) _______________________________________________________________ 57. Why didn’t the author want to celebrate her birthday this year? (no more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________ 58. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph? (no more than 8 words) ________________________________________________________________ 59. What happened when the author was doing some washing one day? (no more than 15 words) _______________________________________________________________ 60. What do you think of the story? Give your reasons in your own words. (no more than 20 words) ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. By having dinner with a big cake and presents./They had dinner with a big cake and presents. 57. Because she knew she couldn’t receive her daughter Patty’s call/wishes. Or: Because her daughter Patty passed away and couldn’t send her wishes. 58. It might help her forget sadness/sad things/Patty’s death. 59. She accidentally dropped her phone into the washing machine and lost the voicemail from Patty. 60. (Open) I think it is moving/touching. Because whatever happens, the great love between parents and children still exists. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者以前喜欢过生日。但今年女儿帕蒂意外去世，死前留给作者一条妈妈我爱你的语音，作者伤心之余只能借助语音聊解思念。但手机意外掉入洗衣机，这条语音不见了，让作者心碎。生日当天丈夫拉着作者去看电影希望能慰藉她。最后，走出电影院，打开手机，语音信箱里又弹出了新消息，正是帕蒂的那条语音：“妈妈，我非常非常爱你。” 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“When my son and three daughters were little, my husband, Charles, and I always made sure to have dinner, followed by a big cake and presents.(当我的儿子和三个女儿还小的时候，我和丈夫查尔斯总是确保过生日时吃大餐，然后是一个大蛋糕和礼物)”可知，孩子们还小的时候庆祝生日的方式为大餐，蛋糕和礼物。回答how提问可以用by doing或完整句子回答。故答案为By having dinner with a big cake and presents.或They had dinner with a big cake and presents. 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“But this year I could have skipped the whole day, knowing there was one call I wouldn’t be receiving, the one from my daughter Patty. She’d passed away unexpectedly just a month before.(但今年我本可以跳过过生日一整天，因为我知道有一个我接不到的电话，那是我女儿帕蒂的电话。就在一个月前她意外地去世了)”可知，作者今年不想过生日是因为女儿意外去世，再也无法受到女儿的生日祝福。故答案为Because she knew she couldn’t receive her daughter Patty’s call/wishes.或Because her daughter Patty passed away and couldn’t send her wishes. 【58题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据文章第三段“I cried, heartbroken. Day after day I kept checking my voicemail, hoping Patty’s message would reappear. It never did.(我伤心地哭了。我日复一日地查看我的语音信箱，希望帕蒂的信息能再次出现。但它从来没有)”可知，作者沉浸于悲伤的情绪中，作者的丈夫邀请她一起吃饭看电影是为了慰藉她，从悲伤的情绪中抽离。故答案为It might help her forget sadness/sad things/Patty’s death. 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第三段“while I was doing laundry (洗衣服), I accidentally dropped my phone in the washing machine. Quickly I pulled it out and dried it off, but when I checked my voicemail, Patty’s message was gone.(当我在洗衣服的时候，不小心把手机掉进了洗衣机里。我很快把它拿出来，擦干了，但当我查看我的语音信箱时，帕蒂的信息不见了)”可知，作者洗衣服时发生的事情是手机误掉在洗衣机里，已故女儿留给她的语音不见了。故答案为She accidentally dropped her phone into the washing machine and lost the voicemail from Patty. 【60题详解】 开放型题目。根据文章第一段“knowing there was one call I wouldn’t be receiving, the one from my daughter Patty. She’d passed away unexpectedly just a month before.(因为我知道有一个我接不到的电话，那是我女儿帕蒂的电话。就在一个月前她意外地去世了)”和第三段“but when I checked my voicemail, Patty’s message was gone. I cried, heartbroken. Day after day I kept checking my voicemail, hoping Patty’s message would reappear. It never did.(但当我查看我的语音信箱时，帕蒂的信息不见了。我伤心地哭了。我日复一日地查看我的语音信箱，希望帕蒂的信息能再次出现。但它从来没有)”以及最后一段“I dialed up voicemail and the message began. It was Patty’s voice, clear as a bell, saying again, “I love you very, very much, Mom.”(我点开了语音信箱，那是帕蒂的声音，清晰的声音传来 “我非常非常爱你，妈妈。”)”可知，讲述了父母与儿女之间生死也斩不断的真挚深情和彼此深爱，让人深深感动。故答案可以是I think it is moving/touching. Because whatever happens, the great love between parents and children still exists. 第二节： 选词填空，注意形式变化！！！ inspire absorb passionate enhance withdraw consistent capacity assess prospect decent 61.
