一、选词填空
阅读下面句子,从方框所给选项中分别选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
A.temporary B.complexity C. target D.contributions E. previous F. presentation G. highlight
1.Accepting sadness as part of life helps us deal with the emotional of growing up.
2.Usually, sharks don’t people, and they just attack people by mistake.
3.Today we’ll read about the three great people and the they made to our society.
4.What is Lauren’s job before she became a professional photo blogger?
5.The Cove is a great documentary aimed to the cruelty of dolphin hunting.
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.D 4.E 5.G
【详解】1.考查名词。句意:接纳悲伤是生活的一部分,有助于我们应对成长中的情感复杂性。空格前有形容词 emotional 修饰,需填名词;结合句意,complexity(复杂性)符合语境。
2.考查动词。句意:通常鲨鱼不以人类为目标,它们攻击人类只是误击。句子缺少谓语动词,且 don’t 后接动词原形;结合句意,target(把……作为目标)符合语境。
3.考查名词。句意:今天我们要了解三位伟人以及他们对社会做出的贡献。空格前有定冠词the,需填名词;固定搭配 make contributions to(对……做出贡献)符合语境。
4.考查形容词。句意:劳伦成为专业摄影博主之前,她先前的工作是什么?空格修饰名词 job,需填形容词;结合时间逻辑,previous(先前的)符合语境
5.考查动词。句意:《海豚湾》是一部优秀纪录片,旨在突出猎捕海豚的残忍。不定式 to 后接动词原形;结合句意,highlight(突出、强调)符合语境。
二、所给词的适当形式填空
6.He walked slowly, with his hands (bury) in his pockets.
【答案】buried
【详解】句意:他走得很慢,双手插在口袋里。在with复合结构中,bury和宾语his hands是被动关系,用过去分词buried作宾补。
7.There is no need to get (greed) — there is plenty for everyone.
【答案】greedy
【详解】句意:不必贪心——每个人都有足够的东西。get + 形容词是常用系表结构,get在此作系动词,表示“变得……”。greed 是名词,意为“贪婪”;此处需要形容词作表语,其形容词形式为 greedy(贪婪的)。
8.His brave act won high (recognize) from the whole society.
【答案】recognition
【详解】句意:他的英勇行为赢得了全社会的高度认可。形容词high后接名词,recognize对应的名词为recognition意为“认可”,在句中作宾语。
9.Standing on the (mass) grassland and enjoying the beautiful scene, I feel relaxed and comfortable.
【答案】massive
【详解】句意:伫立在广袤草原欣赏美景,我身心倍感惬意舒畅。此处修饰名词用形容词,名词mass的形容词为massive,意为“巨大的”。
10.Weight loss success stories (highlight) balanced diets over extreme measures.
【答案】highlight
【详解】句意:减肥成功案例表明,均衡饮食比极端节食更为有效。陈述事实用一般现在时,主语为stories,谓语用原形。
三、语法填空
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Schools in the UK are making 1 effort to help deal with the growing teacher shortage with the use of classroom robots. So far, two primary schools in Plymouth 2 (start) to use the machines as possible replacements (替代) for teaching assistants. Britain’s lack of teaching staff has been a serious problem over the last twenty years. 3 (graduate) are unwilling to enter the primary education department. Many teachers are giving up the teaching jobs for careers in other fields, 4 makes matters worse.
Facing this 5 (alarm) shortage, some schools believe that robots might soon be able to fill the gap. Tests have found that, by 6 (show) various classroom techniques, teachers can train the robots to be teachers in a real teaching setting within just three hours. In one example, the robot teacher 7 (success) guided the students through difficult tasks, giving them praise and 8 (encourage) when necessary. The project has been met with 9 (mix) feelings from teachers. Some are concerned that the robots are here to take their jobs while others optimistically regard the machines 10 a way to reduce their heavy workloads.
【答案】
1.an 2.have started 3.Graduates 4.which 5.alarming 6.showing 7.successfully 8.encouragement 9.mixed 10.as
【导语】文章主要介绍了英国的学校正在尝试使用教室机器人来试图缓解不断增长的师资短缺问题。
【详解】
1.考查冠词。句意:英国的学校正在努力通过使用课堂机器人来解决日益严重的教师短缺问题。此处考查固定搭配make an effort to do sth.,意为“努力做某事”,因此空处应用冠词an。
2.句意:到目前为止,普利茅斯的两所小学已经开始使用这种机器作为助教的替代品。分析句子结构可知,本句缺少谓语,所以空处作本句谓语,根据时间状语So far可知,应该用现在完成时,主语two primary schools为复数,助动词应用have。
3.句意:毕业生不愿意进入小学教育部门。分析句子结构可知,本句缺少主语,所以空处应填名词作主语,graduate意为“大学毕业生”,为可数名词,根据are可知,graduate应用复数形式,且空处位于句首,首字母应大写。
4.句意:许多教师正在放弃教学工作,从事其他领域的职业,这使事情变得更糟。分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面的整句话,在从句中作主语,因此应用关系代词which引导从句。
5.句意:面对这种令人担忧的人才短缺,一些学校认为机器人可能很快就能填补这一空白。分析句子结构可知,空后是名词,所以空处应填形容词作定语,修饰shortage,描述的事物的性质,应该用-ing形式的形容词。
6.句意:测试发现,通过展示各种课堂技巧,教师可以在短短三个小时内将机器人训练成真实教学环境中的教师。分析句子结构可知,空前是介词,所以空处应填动名词showing作宾语。
7.句意:在一个例子中,机器人老师成功地指导学生完成困难的任务,并在必要时给予他们表扬和鼓励。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰空后的动词,应用副词successfully修饰。
8.句意:在一个例子中,机器人老师成功地指导学生完成困难的任务,并在必要时给予他们表扬和鼓励。分析句子结构可知,空处和空前的praise并列,作giving的宾语,所以空处应填encourage的名词形式encouragement,为不可数名词。
9.句意:该项目在教师中引发了褒贬不一的反应。空处修饰名词feelings,应为mix的形容词作mixed定语。
10.句意:一些人担心机器人会抢走他们的工作,而另一些人则乐观地认为机器人可以减轻他们繁重的工作量。此处考查固定搭配regard… as…,意为“把……认作/视为……”,因此空处应用介词as。
三、七选五阅读
Ask a parent today what they worry about, and many will mention screen time. 1 And is my kid really doing homework on their computer, or have they been watching YouTube for four hours?
Despite these concerns, many parents are resigned (顺从的). They’ll tell their kids they aren’t allowed on social media, only for their children to open accounts anyway. Many parents are driven to extreme despair, and others have simply given up. 2 According to my own experience, talking is just not enough. We need clear rules around technology use because they are kids. Below is my advice.
3 Six out of ten 11-to-17-year-olds use their phone between midnight and 5 a.m. at least once a week, causing them to lose sleep every time the phone buzzes (震动) and they grab their phone to see what’s going on. The mere presence of a phone in the bedroom can disturb sleep, and kids don’t even have to be using it in the middle of the night.
Then, first phones should be basic phones. 4 They have no social media and no AI companions, but they can call, text, and take pictures just like a smartphone. If you don’t want your kid on social media until they are 16 or older — and that’s the growing agreement — basic phones make that much easier, while allowing kids to text their friends.
Applying these rules is not always easy. But rules like these are much easier to follow than the unclear “every kid is different” advice. Even if you can only follow some of the rules some of the time, your kids will benefit. 5
A.The best is certain to come.
B.Teens can’t put down their phones.
C.Families care much about their kids.
D.Basic phones have no internet browser (浏览器).
E.Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
F.No electronic devices in the bedroom overnight.
G.That’s because much advice is difficult to follow.
【答案】1.B 2.G 3.F 4.D 5.E
【导语】主要探讨父母对孩子屏幕使用时间的担忧,并给出管控孩子电子产品使用的几条具体建议。
【详解】
1.根据空前“Ask a parent today what they worry about, and many will mention screen time.(如今问家长们担心什么,很多人都会提到孩子的屏幕使用时间)”以及空后“And is my kid really doing homework on their computer, or have they been watching YouTube for four hours?(我的孩子真的在电脑上写作业吗,还是已经看了四个小时的油管视频?)”可知,此空应承接前文,进一步说明孩子沉迷电子产品的现象,B选项“青少年总是放不下手机”体现了孩子对电子产品的依赖,且引出后文家长的具体顾虑,符合语境。
2.根据空前“Despite these concerns, many parents are resigned (顺从的). They’ll tell their kids they aren’t allowed on social media, only for their children to open accounts anyway. Many parents are driven to extreme despair, and others have simply given up.(尽管有这些担忧,许多家长却只能顺从。他们会告诉孩子不允许使用社交媒体,可孩子们还是会偷偷注册账号。很多家长陷入了极度的绝望,还有一些人干脆选择放弃)”以及空后“According to my own experience, talking is just not enough. We need clear rules around technology use because they are kids.(根据我的经验,光靠说教是远远不够的。因为他们还是孩子,我们需要制定明确的电子产品使用规则)”可知,此空应说明家长无奈放弃的原因,G选项“这是因为很多建议都难以执行”中的that指代前文家长的无奈处境,且衔接后文作者提出的建议,符合语境。
3.此处应为本段的小标题,与其他段落小标题格式一致。根据空后“Six out of ten 11-to-17-year-olds use their phone between midnight and 5 a.m. at least once a week, causing them to lose sleep every time the phone buzzes (震动) and they grab their phone to see what’s going on. The mere presence of a phone in the bedroom can disturb sleep, and kids don’t even have to be using it in the middle of the night.(在11到17岁的青少年中,有六成的人每周至少有一次在午夜到凌晨五点之间使用手机,每次手机震动他们就会拿起查看,进而导致睡眠不足。即便孩子半夜不玩手机,卧室里有手机这件事本身也会干扰睡眠)”可知,本段围绕“不让电子产品进卧室”展开,F选项“夜间卧室禁止放置任何电子设备”能准确概括本段主题,符合语境。
4.根据空前“Then, first phones should be basic phones. (那么,孩子的第一部手机应该是功能机)”以及空后“They have no social media and no AI companions, but they can call, text, and take pictures just like a smartphone.(它们没有社交媒体功能,也没有人工智能助手,但可以像智能手机一样打电话、发短信和拍照)”可知,此空应进一步说明功能机的特点,D选项“功能机没有互联网浏览器”承接前文的basic phones,且与后文功能机的特点并列,符合语境。
5.根据上文“Applying these rules is not always easy. But rules like these are much easier to follow than the unclear “every kid is different” advice. Even if you can only follow some of the rules some of the time, your kids will benefit.(应用这些规则并非总是轻而易举之事。但像这样的规则要比那种含糊不清的“每个孩子都是不同的”这种说法容易遵循得多。即便你只能在某些时候遵循部分规则,你的孩子也会从中受益)”可知,前文表示不必全程严格遵守所有规则,E选项“不要让追求完美成为阻碍达成良好结果的因素”符合语境。

Schools in the UK are making 1 effort to help deal with the growing teacher shortage with the use of classroom robots. So far, two primary schools in Plymouth 2 (start) to use the machines as possible replacements (替代) for teaching assistants. Britain’s lack of teaching staff has been a serious problem over the last twenty years. 3 (graduate) are unwilling to enter the primary education department. Many teachers are giving up the teaching jobs for careers in other fields, 4 makes matters worse.
Facing this 5 (alarm) shortage, some schools believe that robots might soon be able to fill the gap. Tests have found that, by 6 (show) various classroom techniques, teachers can train the robots to be teachers in a real teaching setting within just three hours. In one example, the robot teacher 7 (success) guided the students through difficult tasks, giving them praise and 8 (encourage) when necessary. The project has been met with 9 (mix) feelings from teachers. Some are concerned that the robots are here to take their jobs while others optimistically regard the machines 10 a way to reduce their heavy workloads.
三、七选五阅读
Ask a parent today what they worry about, and many will mention screen time. 1 And is my kid really doing homework on their computer, or have they been watching YouTube for four hours?
Despite these concerns, many parents are resigned (顺从的). They’ll tell their kids they aren’t allowed on social media, only for their children to open accounts anyway. Many parents are driven to extreme despair, and others have simply given up. 2 According to my own experience, talking is just not enough. We need clear rules around technology use because they are kids. Below is my advice.
3 Six out of ten 11-to-17-year-olds use their phone between midnight and 5 a.m. at least once a week, causing them to lose sleep every time the phone buzzes (震动) and they grab their phone to see what’s going on. The mere presence of a phone in the bedroom can disturb sleep, and kids don’t even have to be using it in the middle of the night.
Then, first phones should be basic phones. 4 They have no social media and no AI companions, but they can call, text, and take pictures just like a smartphone. If you don’t want your kid on social media until they are 16 or older — and that’s the growing agreement — basic phones make that much easier, while allowing kids to text their friends.
Applying these rules is not always easy. But rules like these are much easier to follow than the unclear “every kid is different” advice. Even if you can only follow some of the rules some of the time, your kids will benefit. 5
A.The best is certain to come.
B.Teens can’t put down their phones.
C.Families care much about their kids.
D.Basic phones have no internet browser (浏览器).
E.Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
F.No electronic devices in the bedroom overnight.
G.That’s because much advice is difficult to follow.
