【解析】细节理解题。短文第三段提到 The Great Troll Folk Fest 把 5–7 米高的木偶放在丹麦各地的公园里，并明确说 "Since 2014" 才把木偶放到世界其他地方，可见 2014 年之前只在丹麦公园。A "那时它们只被放在丹麦的公园里" 同义概括了该信息。B（欧洲博物馆）/ C（美国海滩）/ D（韩国学校）均与文意不符。 【考查知识点】细节理解 (18) 【答案】C 【解析】主旨大意题。全文末段点明 Dambo 的创作意图：用废木把人与自然联系起来，并希望人们重新思考破坏环境的行为、看到废物也能变美。C "无用之物可化为艺术之美，我们应保护自然" 准确概括了其核心主旨。A（艺术总应在公共空间展出）过于绝对；B（丹麦森林最美）无据；D（社交媒体是找隐藏艺术的最佳方式）以偏概全。 【考查知识点】主旨大意 三、阅读理解 B 篇（共3小题，每小题2分，计6分）逐题解析 (19) 【答案】B 【解析】细节理解题。第一段写道当时肯尼亚小学不免费，"Maruge's family didn't have enough money to pay for school"，即家境贫寒无力负担学费。B "家里太穷，付不起学费" 为该句的同义改写。A（村里没有学校）文中未提；C（参加对英战争）发生在他长大后，并非当年失学原因；D（对上学不感兴趣）与文意相反。 【考查知识点】细节理解 (20) 【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题。第三段说当一些家长反对时，校长 Jane Obinchu 相信 Maruge 是对的，并在她的帮助下 Maruge 得以留校。C "学校的校长 Jane Obinchu 支持了他" 准确同义转述。A（肯尼亚政府）只提供免费教育政策，未直接帮他留校；B（同班同学）不符；D（联合国官员）是他后来演讲的对象，非留校关键人。 【考查知识点】细节理解 (21) 【答案】A 【解析】推理判断题。Maruge 84 岁仍成为"世界上最年长的上学者"并学有所成，故事旨在告诉读者学习不分年龄。A "开始学习永远不嫌晚" 是作者借此传达的合理推断。B（只有年轻人该上学）/ C（农民不能成为好学生）/ D（教育对老人不重要）均与故事主旨相悖。 【考查知识点】推理判断 四、阅读理解 C 篇（共4小题，每小题2分，计8分）逐题解析 (22) 【答案】C 【解析】主旨大意题。全文按时间线讲述太空探索从 1957 年 Sputnik 到如今商业航天（SpaceX 等）的历程，重点落在"商业航天的兴起"。A 仅提苏联、B 仅提政府登月、D 仅提移居火星，均以偏概全；C 概括最全面。 【考查知识点】主旨大意 (23) 【答案】B 【解析】细节理解题。第一段明确 "In 1957, the Soviet Union sent

unmanned spacecraft Curiosity on Mars" 中，结合中文注释"无人驾驶的"及常识可知 unmanned = not manned，即"无人操控 / 内部无人"。B "Without any person inside（内部无人）" 正确。A（由地面人员遥控）文中未体现；C（外国制造）无据；D（仅用于科研）以偏概全。 【考查知识点】划线词语猜测 (25) 【答案】B 【解析】推理判断题。末段讲私人公司竞相进入太空、马斯克计划在火星建城，并说梦想或将成真，可推知私人公司作用增大、火星梦或可实现。A（仅政府）/ C（因事故停止）/ D（现已能建城）均与原文相反或过度推断；B 最符合。 【考查知识点】推理判断 五、六选五（共5小题，每小题1分，计5分）还原解析 【答案】26.E 27.A 28.B 29.C 30.D（多余项：F） (26) 【答案】E 【解析】段中（第1段）。紧接英国"99% 的 8–15 岁孩子每周玩游戏"的调查数据，E "这表明电子游戏在青少年中已多么普及" 顺理成章地总结数据并引出下文的利弊讨论，与后句 "Video games are now a big part of many children's daily lives" 衔接自然。 (27) 【答案】A 【解析】段首（第2段）。本段讲电子游戏的好处，A "对许多人而言，电子游戏既有趣又有教育意义" 作为段落主题句置于段首，总领全段关于趣味、益智、锻炼思维与想象力的论述。 (28) 【答案】B 【解析】段中（第2段）。承接上文 "锻炼手眼协调与创造性思维"，B "这能改善孩子大脑运作的方式" 进一步说明游戏对脑力的积极作用，与后句 "make children use their imagination" 构成并列的好处。 (29) 【答案】C 【解析】段中（第3段）。承接上文 "孩子可免费下载、无需征求父母同意"，C "这意味着父母常常不知道孩子在玩暴力或恐怖游戏" 点出由此带来的监管隐患，与后文 Second / Third 的危害列举逻辑一致。 (30) 【答案】D 【解析】段尾（第3段）。本段列举游戏危害：First（免费下载隐患）→ Second（健康）→ Third（学业），D "Finally, games can affect children's social skills" 以 Finally 收束，作为第四点危害，使段落结构完整。 【多余项】F "So video games should be completely banned for all children." 语气绝对，主张"全面禁止"，与原文"利弊并存、应由家长引导"的辩证立场相矛盾，且无法衔接任何段落，故为多余项。 六、短文填空（共15小题，计15分）逐题解析 第一节 无提示词（31-35） (31) 【答案】that 【解析】"Many visitors say (31)_____ the midnight sun is..." 中 that 引导宾语从句，作 say 的宾语；删去原并列连词 and 后此处须填 that（书面/考试设空要求填 that）。 【考查知识点】宾语从句引导词 (32) 【答案】a

the echoes). 【解析】细节归纳。第一段点明 Ben 与众不同之处在于"没有眼睛却能看见"；后文说明他靠耳朵听声音反弹来感知物体。 (47) 【参考答案】 He became blind because he had cancer in his eyes and the doctors had to remove his eyes.

They are over one meter tall and are waiting to be attached to bodies. They are the work of Danish sculptor Thomas Dambo. Dambo creates huge trolls from "trash wood" — wood that he finds on the ground or that people don't want anymore. When they are completed, Dambo puts the trolls outside in green spaces. One project — The Great Troll Folk Fest — featured five- to seven-meter-tall trolls placed in parks around Denmark. If you can't get to Denmark to find a troll, don't worry. Since 2014, Dambo has put trolls in other green spaces around the world — such as South Korea, China, Puerto Rico, France, and the United States. Dambo uses trash wood he finds in each country to make the trolls. For a project in Culebra, Puerto Rico, Dambo recycled plywood that had covered windows during a hurricane. In Maine, U.S.A., he used old pallets from a local hardware store. To make the troll's hair for The Great Troll Folk Fest in Denmark, he used fallen branches and twigs from local forests. Dambo's work has a purpose: He wants the trolls to connect us to nature. Because they are often hidden in parks, you have to walk among the trees to see them. During The Great Troll Folk Fest, Dambo gave clues about each troll's location on social media. "It's kind of a treasure hunt for families," Dambo says. Once you find a troll, you can interact with it. For example, one troll has an open mouth for you to climb through. Using trash wood to connect people with nature sends a message. Dambo hopes that people think twice about doing things that damage the environment. He hopes that people see that trash can be turned into something beautiful. If we "throw the world out," says Dambo, "then we'll have a world with no mountains, no woods." And no places where we might find trolls. 16. What does Thomas Dambo use to make his troll sculptures? A. Expensive wood bought from art stores. B. Trash wood that people throw away. C. Plastic waste collected from oceans. D. Stone and metal from old buildings. 17. Where did Dambo put his trolls before 2014? A. They were placed only in parks in Denmark at that time. B. In museums across Europe. C. On beaches in the United States. D. At schools in South Korea. 18. What is Dambo's main message through his work? A. Art should always be displayed in public spaces. B. Denmark has the most beautiful forests in the world. C. Useless things can be turned into beautiful works of art, and we should protect nature. D. Social media is the best way to find hidden art. B On January 12, 2004, Kimani Maruge knocked on the door of the primary school in his village in Kenya. It was the first day of school, and he was ready to start learning. The teacher let him in and gave him a desk. The new student sat down with the rest of the first graders: six- and seven-year-old children. However, Kimani Maruge was not an ordinary first grader. He was 84 years old — the world's oldest first grader. Kimani Maruge was born in Kenya in 1920. At that time, primary school in Kenya was not free, and Maruge's family didn't have enough money to pay for school. When Maruge grew up, he worked hard as a farmer. In the 1950s, he fought a war with other Kenyans against the British colonists（殖民者）. After years of fighting, Kenya became independent（独立的） in 1963. In 2003, the Kenyan government began offering free education at primary schools. Maruge wanted an education too, but it wasn't easy for him to attend school. Many parents didn't want an older man in their children's class. Some school officials said that primary school was only for children. But the principal（校长）, Jane Obinchu, believed Maruge was right. With Obinchu's help, he was able to stay in school. Maruge was a motivated（积极的） and successful student. While in primary school, he studied Swahili, English, and math. He did well in these subjects. In fact, he was one of the top five students in his first-grade class. By the second grade, Maruge became the school's student leader. Maruge stayed in school until the seventh grade. People from outside Kenya started hearing about Maruge's story. In 2005, he flew in a plane — for the first time in his life — to give a speech at the United Nations in New York City. He spoke about the importance of education and asked for help to educate the people of Kenya. Maruge died in 2009 at age 89, but his story continues to inspire many older Kenyans. The 2010 movie The First Grader showed Maruge's amazing fight to get an education. After watching the movie, many older Kenyans decided to start school. 19. Why couldn't Maruge go to school when he was young? A. There were no schools in his village. B. His family was too poor to pay for his schooling. C. He had to fight in a war against the British. D. He wasn't interested in learning. 20. Who helped Maruge stay in school when some parents objected? A. The Kenyan government. B. His fellow first-grade classmates. C. The school's principal, Jane Obinchu, supported him. D. Officials from the United Nations. 21. What can we learn from Kimani Maruge's story? A. It is never too late to start learning. B. Only young people should go to school. C. Farmers cannot become good students. D. Education is not important for older people. C In 1957, the Soviet Union sent Sputnik I（史普尼克一号，人类首颗人造卫星） into space. It was the first successful spacecraft to orbit Earth, and it started the time period known as the Space Age. A short time later, in the United States, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA（美国宇航局）) successfully sent another spacecraft, Explorer I, into space. In the years that followed, incredible advances were made. Astronauts orbited Earth and men walked on the moon. The world, it seemed, wanted to learn what was beyond Earth. Today, space exploration continues, and governments still compete with one another to make new discoveries. In 2012, NASA landed its unmanned spacecraft Curiosity on Mars in order to collect information about the planet. In 2016, Europe and Russia worked together and sent a spacecraft to Mars. China and India are also working on similar projects. However, there has been one big change: private companies, instead of public government organizations, are entering the Space Race（太空竞赛）. SpaceX has been very successful in commercial（商业的） space travel. They designed the spacecraft Dragon in order to deliver supplies to the International Space Station (ISS). In 2012, Dragon was the first commercial spacecraft in history to do that. Elon Musk, the man who started the company, has dreams that go beyond making deliveries.

But I do remember feeling that there was a whole layer of language that couldn't quite be conveyed through a dictionary. At some age, I assumed, I would need to know everything. Understanding the nuances（细微差别） of language seemed like an obstacle to that goal. It wasn't until after I graduated from college that I was able to read for pleasure. I realized that there's no such thing as all-encompassing（包罗万象的） knowledge. I started to see dictionaries, inexact as they are, as field guides to the life of language. I prize my 1954 copy of 3,000-page Webster's New International Dictionary, Second Edition. I keep it open, alone on a tabletop, the way dictionaries are usually found in libraries.

Recently (38)_____ examples included orrery（天象仪）, "a mechanical model, usually clockwork, devised to represent the motions of the Moon and Earth around the Sun." The Oxford English Dictionary also tells me that the word comes from the fourth Earl of Orrery, for whom a copy of the first machine was made, around 1700. Useful? Obviously not. Satisfying? Deeply. Wikipedia and Google answer questions with more questions, opening up pages of information you never asked for. But a dictionary builds on common knowledge, using simple words to give an (39)_____ of more complex ones. Unknown words become solvable (40)_____. Why leave them up to guesswork? Why not consult a dictionary and feel the (41)_____ feeling of pairing context with a definition? For me, dictionaries are an entrance to that kind of knowledge-seeking. Dictionaries have (42)_____ me that when it comes to learning, satisfying our curiosity is just as important as paying attention. After all, isn't curiosity really just another form of attention? In the digital age, language changes (43)_____, so a dictionary must always keep up. Readers can improve (44)_____ by looking up words often. But the more time you spend with a dictionary, the more you discover its value. Every learner should (45)_____ a good dictionary. It opens door after door into the vast world of human thought and expression. IV. 任务型阅读（共5小题，计10分） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 Ben Underwood was a normal teenage boy. He loved playing basketball, riding his bike, listening to music with his friends and playing video games. But in one way, Ben was different from most other teenagers — he was blind. However, Ben had a special talent. He didn't have eyes, but he could still "see". Ben was born on 26 January 1992. For the first two years of his life, Ben was a happy and healthy baby. He had a normal life, living with his mother and two older brothers in California. However, when Ben was two years old, his life changed. In 1994, he was taken to the hospital because he had problems with his eyes. The doctors looked at his eyes and told his mother the bad news — Ben had cancer. After a few months, he had an operation to remove the cancer. The operation was successful and Ben was fine. However, the doctors had to remove his eyes and Ben became blind. After his operation, Ben developed an incredible talent like a superhero. When he was three, he learnt how to "see" buildings with his ears.

He made clicking noises with his mouth and listened for the noises that bounced back from things. In this way, Ben could "see" where he was and what was around him. This is the same way dolphins see things underwater and bats see in the dark. Scientists and doctors were amazed（使惊奇） by Ben's talent. There are only a few blind people in the world who can see like Ben. People respected him because of this. He became famous. He was on TV and he travelled to different countries and talked to people about his life. Sadly, when Ben was 16, his cancer came back. He died soon after. However, during Ben's life, he taught people that anything is possible. Many people admired him because he inspired them and helped them feel strong.
