He thought that there must be 3 way to do this and he decided to think of an easier way.
Ted took out his tools and began to work. After 4 busy in the kitchen for one afternoon, he created a new invention.

【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要讨论了电脑对人类生活的利弊,涵盖学习辅助、娱乐影响及工作替代等方面,指出最终结果取决于学生自己。
16.句意:例如,电脑可以帮助我们快速解决很多问题。
根据“to solve a lot of problems quickly”可知,电脑对解决问题有帮助,固定搭配help sb. to do sth.“帮助某人做某事”,help符合语境。find“找到”;know“知道”和take“带;拿”与“电脑帮助我们解决问题”的语境不符。
17.句意:有些问题对我们来说太难了,但对电脑来说很容易。
根据but“但是”和easy“容易的”可知,前后构成转折关系,对于电脑来说容易,对于我们来说应该是难的,difficult“困难的、难的”符合语境。expensive“昂贵的”;important“重要的”和exciting“令人兴奋的”与“容易的”不能形成对比。
18.句意:人们甚至可以问电脑一些问题,电脑可以在屏幕上回答它们。
根据“ask the computer some questions”可知,问问题对应的是回答问题,answer“回答”符合语境。follow“跟随”;become“变得”和choose“选择”与“问问题,回答问题”的语境不符。
19.句意:电脑是如此有用,以至于许多父母给孩子买电脑。
根据“many parents buy computers for their children”可知,父母购买是因为电脑有用,useful“有用的”符合语境。small“小的”;cheap“便宜的”和heavy“重的”不是父母给孩子们买电脑的原因。
20.句意:他们希望电脑可以帮助他们的孩子提高在学校的学习成绩,但是有些孩子不做父母想让他们做的事情。
根据上文“parents buy computers for their children”可知,父母希望的是电脑能帮助孩子学习,computers“电脑”符合语境。teachers“老师”;parents“父母”和schools“学校”与上文提到的“买电脑”的语境不符。
21.句意:他们希望电脑可以帮助他们的孩子提高在学校的学习成绩,但是有些孩子不做父母想让他们做的事情。
上文“can help their children to improve their studies at school”与“some children don’t do what their parents want them to do”之间具有转折关系,用转折连词but“但是”。so“所以”后接结果;or“或者”表选择;and“和”表并列。
22.句意:他们用电脑玩游戏或看电影。
根据“play computer games or watch films”可知,此处考查固定短语use sth. to do sth.,意为“用某物做某事”。排除buy“买”;pay“付款”和win“赢;获胜”。
23.句意:所以他们的父母认为电脑不能帮助他们学习,反而会让他们落后。
根据上文的they“他们”,可知此处用形容词性物主代词their“他们的”,符合语境,修饰名词parents“父母”,作定语。排除our“我们的”;your“你的;你们的”和her“她的”。
24.句意:在许多工厂,电脑可以代替工人做一些工作,所以许多工人失去了工作。
根据“computers can do some work instead of workers”可知,电脑代替人力导致工人失业,lose“失去”符合语境。make“制作”;come“来”和keep“保持”与“电脑代替工人劳动导致工人失业”的语境不符。
25.句意:电脑真的会给人们带来麻烦还是给人们带来幸福?
根据“bring trouble to people or will they bring people happiness”可知,此处强调实际情况,really“真地”表示强调。排除clearly“清楚地”;loudly“大声地”和easily“容易地”。

One of the most famous scientists to study adaptations (适应性)was Charles Darwin. He was born in England in 1809. He wasn’t the best student in his school, but when he was 16, his father sent him to a medical school. Charles liked spending time outdoors discovering nature more than attending medical classes. He left the school without graduation (毕业).
Next, Charles’s father sent him to school to become a minister (牧师). This time he made it to graduation. But he didn’t want to do the work-of a minister. His friends encouraged him to follow his interest in science.
After graduation, Charles was invited to sail on the ship Beagle as a scientist without any money.
The Beagle was to travel to South America and then around the world. Their work was to make maps of the places they visited.
On December 27th, 1831 Charles Darwin sailed from England on the Beagle. The trip was planned to last two years. In fact, it lasted five years. During the time, he saw many amazing man named Wallace.

Everyone knows magic tricks are fun, but not enough people realize that math can be as well.
Here is one of the most popular tricks to show you how amazing math can be.
Firstly, pick a friend with good math skills. To play the trick, your friend needs to know how to add numbers and do subtraction (减法).
Then, write down 1089 on a piece of paper without showing anyone.
Thirdly, ask your friend to write down a number with three different digits (数位). Tell him not to show you the number. Make sure the three digits cannot be the same. For example, he could pick 481.
Next, let your friend write down the number backwards. For example, 481 backwards is 184.
After that, make it into a subtraction problem. Now your friend has two numbers. Get him to subtract the smaller one from the larger one. In our example, the result should be 481-184=297. If the result has only two digits, ask your friend to add a zero at the beginning.
Next step, reverse this number as well. Ask your friend to take his answer and reverse the digits order again. If he added the zero at the beginning, remind him to include it as part of the number. For example, the reverse of 297 is 792.
Here comes the most exciting part. As the final calculation, get your friend to add the last two numbers and write down the result. In our example, 792+297=1089.
Finally, tell everyone that you know the last number your friend wrote down. Show others the piece of paper with the 1089 you’ve written down earlier.
In the trick, the last number will always be 1089. If your friend has a different answer, he did not follow instructions, or he made a mistake.
37.To play the trick, how many steps should you follow?
A.5. B.6. C.7. D.8.
38.If your friend got “99” after doing the subtraction, what did he need to do?
A.Go on with the other steps. B.Change the number into 099.
C.Tell others the number he got. D.Choose another number to start again.
39.What does the underlined part “reverse this number” in Paragraph 7 mean?
A.Get the number subtracted.
B.Turn the number upside down.
C.Write down the number backwards.
D.Change the order of the number as you like.
40.What can we learn about the trick from the passage?
A.It is the most popular trick.
B.The numbers should be reversed twice.
C.The final number can’t always be 1089.
D.The trick is friendly to people bad at subtraction.
【答案】37.D 38.B 39.C 40.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一个神奇的数学魔术,通过一系列的数学操作,最终总能得到数字1089。文章详细描述了魔术的步骤,并解释了如果结果不是1089,则可能是操作不当或计算错误。
37.细节理解题。根据文章中的步骤“ Firstly, pick a friend with good math skills...Then, write down 1089 on a piece of paper without showing anyone...Thirdly, ask your friend to write down a number...Next, let your friend write down the number backwards...After that, make it into a subtraction problem....Next step, reverse this number as well... Here comes the most exciting part...Finally, tell everyone that you know the last number your friend wrote down”可知,首先选一个数学好的朋友;然后写下1089;接着让朋友选一个三位数;再让朋友把这个数倒过来写;之后进行减法运算;如果结果只有两位数,在前面加0;接着把这个结果再倒过来;最后把最后两个数相加。一共是8个步骤,故选D。
38.细节理解题。根据“If the result has only two digits, ask your friend to add a zero at the beginning.”可知,如果减法结果只有两位数,需要在前面加一个0。所以如果朋友得到“99”,他需要把它变成“099”,故选B。
39.词句猜测题。根据“Ask your friend to take his answer and reverse the digits order again.”可知,“reverse this number”指的是把数字的顺序再次倒过来,即“把数字倒着写”,故选C。
40.推理判断题。根据“write down the number backwards”和“reverse the digits order again”可知,魔术中数字需要被倒写两次。因此,选项B“数字需要被倒过来两次”是正确的。故选B。

第二节、阅读填空(共5小题,每小题1分,共5分)
A Frenchman, Niepce, needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. 41 He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.
The next important date in the history of photography was in 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. 42 In his picture, you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing.
In 1840, photography was developed once more. Then photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. 43 So it’s not easy to take pictures.
With the development of science and technology, a Chinese young man Wang Mengqiu, invented Hover Camera (无人相机). It can record people and things more wonderfully. He once studied at Stanford University in the United States. He became famous overnight because of the invention.
Hover Camera records movements with a 13MP camera and takes 4K videos. You can use a smartphone to control it. It can follow you, flying or staying in mid-air. 44 It is the best choice for weddings, sports games and holidays because Hover Camera is convenient for users to carry. It can be folded, so it can be put into a small bag. 45
In the future, cameras will be designed better and better. People can take more lively photos and videos.
A.He used a new kind of camera in a different way.
B.In this way, it can get the perfect pictures.
C.But the photographers had to carry many machines.
D.When the power is low, it can land safely.
E.So he invented a very simple camera in 1826.
【答案】41.E 42.A 43.C 44.B 45.D
【导语】本文介绍了摄影技术的发展历史以及每个历史阶段的重要人物。
41.上文提到Niepce需要照片但不会画画,下文说他把相机放在窗边拍了花园。此处应说明他发明了相机。E项“So he invented a very simple camera in 1826.”符合逻辑。

After graduation, Charles was invited to sail on the ship Beagle as a scientist without any money.
The Beagle was to travel to South America and then around the world. Their work was to make maps of the places they visited.
On December 27th, 1831 Charles Darwin sailed from England on the Beagle. The trip was planned to last two years. In fact, it lasted five years. During the time, he saw many amazing man named Wallace.

Everyone knows magic tricks are fun, but not enough people realize that math can be as well.
Here is one of the most popular tricks to show you how amazing math can be.
Firstly, pick a friend with good math skills. To play the trick, your friend needs to know how to add numbers and do subtraction (减法).
Then, write down 1089 on a piece of paper without showing anyone.
Thirdly, ask your friend to write down a number with three different digits (数位). Tell him not to show you the number. Make sure the three digits cannot be the same. For example, he could pick 481.
Next, let your friend write down the number backwards. For example, 481 backwards is 184.
After that, make it into a subtraction problem. Now your friend has two numbers. Get him to subtract the smaller one from the larger one. In our example, the result should be 481-184=297. If the result has only two digits, ask your friend to add a zero at the beginning.
Next step, reverse this number as well. Ask your friend to take his answer and reverse the digits order again. If he added the zero at the beginning, remind him to include it as part of the number. For example, the reverse of 297 is 792.
Here comes the most exciting part. As the final calculation, get your friend to add the last two numbers and write down the result. In our example, 792+297=1089.
Finally, tell everyone that you know the last number your friend wrote down. Show others the piece of paper with the 1089 you’ve written down earlier.
In the trick, the last number will always be 1089. If your friend has a different answer, he did not follow instructions, or he made a mistake.
37.To play the trick, how many steps should you follow?
A.5. B.6. C.7. D.8.
38.If your friend got “99” after doing the subtraction, what did he need to do?
A.Go on with the other steps. B.Change the number into 099.
C.Tell others the number he got. D.Choose another number to start again.
39.What does the underlined part “reverse this number” in Paragraph 7 mean?
A.Get the number subtracted.
B.Turn the number upside down.
C.Write down the number backwards.
D.Change the order of the number as you like.
40.What can we learn about the trick from the passage?
A.It is the most popular trick.
B.The numbers should be reversed twice.
C.The final number can’t always be 1089.
D.The trick is friendly to people bad at subtraction.
