Jeff Bezos is an American technology entrepreneur(企业家), investor, and philanthropist(慈善家), and Amazon's founder, president and CEO. His earnings as of 6 June, 2018 were $139 billion.
Born on January 12, 1964, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Jeff Bezos was an intelligent child. He was interested in science and many other things from an early age. Jeff's parents owned a garage; later Jeff transformed the garage into a science laboratory. He lived in Houston, Texas, and graduated from Princeton University in 1986 with degrees in electrical engineering and computer science.
Then he worked in the field of computer science in Wall Street. After that, Jeff did an important job in building a network for an international business called Fitted. Jeff has also served as deputy chairman in a trust company thereafter. He quit his job at D.E. Shaw and founded Amazon in his garage on 5 July, 1993. He worked very hard at Amazon, making him one of the leading Amazon business billionaires. This company was started by three people together and today, there are 20,000 employees working in this company. Jeff Bezos made a history by starting the Amazon website and he also marked the beginning of the Internet revolution, the age of online selling and net banking.
Today, Amazon is called one of the world's biggest business retailers(零售商). Bezos named his new company “Amazon” after the Amazon River in South America, as it begins with the letter “A” at the beginning of the alphabet. He took an estimated $300,000 from his parents and invested in Amazon. With the help of Amazon, Jeff has given people another approach to shopping. In this, the customer orders goods online and a company employee comes and delivers the goods home. The company first started as an online bookstore and then expanded into a wide variety of products and services, including video and audio streaming.
In 1999, Time honored him with the title of the Person of the Year. Forbes selected Jeff as one of the World's 10 Most Powerful CEOs 2018. Jeff is also known as the grandfather of e-business.

A study of 100 mobile apps for kids found that 72 broke a law aimed at protecting children's online privacy. Researchers developed a tool that can determine whether a mobile app follows the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act(COPPA). The tool was 99%right. Researchers continue to improve the technology, which they plan to make available for download at no cost.
When you download an app, it can get a lot of information on your cellphone. You have to keep in mind that all this information can be collected by these apps and sent to third parties. What do they do with it? They can pretty much do anything. We should be careful about this. Apps can get personal identifiable information, including names, email addresses, phone numbers, locations, audio and visual recordings, and unique identifiers or devices such as an International Mobile Equipment Identity(IMEI), Media Access Control(MAC) addresses, Android IDs and Android Advertising IDs. The Advertising ID, for example, allows app developers to collect information on users' interests, which they can then sell to advertisers. What's worse, games and other apps that violate the COPPA cause privacy risks, which could make it possible for someone to determine a child's ID and location. A bad man could probably get the user's email ID and geographic location and try to kidnap the child.
The COPPA requires that websites and online services directed to children get parental agreement before collecting personal information from anyone younger than 13; however, as the research found, many popular apps do not follow the rule. Researchers found that many popular games designed specifically for young children showed users' Android IDs, Android Advertising IDs and device descriptions. Researchers suggest that parents should be careful when downloading or allowing children to download apps. They advise keeping downloads to a minimum. Don't download apps unless they are needed.
8.What is the matter with most mobile apps for kids?
A.They lead children to do wrong.
B.They are too expensive for kids.
C.They collect children's private information.
D.They are too difficult to operate.
9.What can we learn about the testing tool?
A.It will be put online for sale.
B.Parents will get it for free.
C.Apps will find ways to deal with it.
D.Researchers will give it up after the study.
10.What will apps do with kids' privacy?
A.They will send it to others.
B.They will publish it online.
C.They will keep it a secret.
D.They will use it in social surveys.
11.What is the researchers' advice to parents about downloading apps?
A.Downloading as few apps as possible.
B.Downloading as many apps as possible.
C.Downloading no apps from the Internet.
D.Downloading apps that the COPPA identifies.

For a long time, people had to listen to the radio to get news, drama and music at home. This all changed with the development of the television in the early 20th century.
For most of TV's history, we have fitted our weekday evenings around broadcasts of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street, except that's no longer the case. Today, we have the power to watch whatever we want, whenever we want, and wherever we want through streaming (流式传播) services. The services have given us access to more content than was ever possible, including back catalogues of classic shows and movies.
It's not just the streaming services that are taking away audiences from traditional TV channels either. Social media sites also provide competition for traditional TV since they allow the uploading of video content, meaning users can watch more shorter clips (电影片段) at their convenience.
In the UK, adults are spending more time watching content on streaming services than ever before. In 2018, these figures were 26 minutes per day. This has been the trend for the past decade and it doesn't look like it will be changing anytime soon. While demand for streaming services is growing, the main UK channels continue to be the most watched overall. For example, in 2018 UK adults continued to watch BBC One for an average of 41 minutes per day, more than any streaming services.
While the traditional TV networks have seen a decline, the television set itself doesn't look like it's going anywhere anytime soon. Most major TV channels have their own catch-up streaming services, which significantly increase their viewing figures. Additionally, the BBC began making content that's only available through its iPlayer service. BBC Two allows its viewers to watch original content at their convenience without having to wait for the show to air on TV first.
So, while around 50% of all households now subscribe to at least one streaming service, there is no way of knowing where television is going.
12.What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The advantages of streaming services.
B.The popularity of traditional TV channels.
C.The competition among streaming services.
D.The effects of the Internet on people's lives.
13.What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Analyzing official figures.
B.The changing viewing habit.
C.Preferring to watch short videos.
D.The great demand for UK channels.
14.What do major TV channels do to attract more audiences?
A.Enrich their content.
B.Put on older TV shows.
C.Seek help from video makers.
D.Provide streaming services.
15.What is the best title for the text?
A.How Traditional TV Networks Were Formed
B.Will Traditional TV Be Replaced by Streaming Services?
C.What Were Broadcast on Early TV Programs?
D.People's Entertainment Ways Change with the Times

Ways to protect yourself from disinformation
There are so many news events, some true, some not. It can be hard to tell them apart. Many people take in the media without thinking twice about it. 16 . Here are three simple steps to become a smarter news reader.
1. 17
You probably get much of your news from apps, sites and social media. Twitter, Facebook and Google are common ones. You should change that. These are technology companies, not news companies. They want to keep you on their sites in order to get money from ads. They show you the news you will like. It may be total lies or something that you have seen before. 18 . These places share news for the benefit of the public.
2.Use Basic Math
News that can't be trusted often uses false numbers. Most readers won't take the time to check them. 19 .
3.Be ware of Bias (偏见)
News media are often called out for political bias. Bias is leans toward or against an idea. News often favors certain political parties. There is other bias. One is toward the use of simple sound bites (摘引精句)or the headlines. 20 . Studies found that false news stories often use simple and repetitive words.
Following these steps can put you back in control.
A.Concentrate on Apps
B.Find News Sources
C.Simple math can help you better spot lies
D.You can have more control over your news
E.So it is better to visit trusted news sites directly
F.These do not fully explain important problems
G.Seeing and hearing should not necessarily be believable

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。
When we make news we use primary and secondary sources. We can see this most clearly in TV programmes. As we watch the news on TV, the person 36 ( present ) the programme in the studio is the secondary source (because he tells us about the news ) 37 the reporter in Iraq or Washington is the primary source [because he is telling us about what is 38 ( actual ) happening there]. Without these reporters acting 39 primary sources, you would never find out what really 40 ( happen) in a war, earthquake, sports meeting, concert or festival. These reporters explain what is happening so we have a clearer idea of 41 is going on there. They often take 42 (photographer) with them who act as primary sources by giving pictures of events.
In a newspaper the position is 43 (difference) because these two roles are often combined. This means a reporter who investigates a story may be the same person who writes it. If this happens, the reporter is 44 the primary and the secondary sources. But the photographer who 45 (work) with him/her is still a primary source.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I wasn't the most popular kid in my first year of high school, not even close to. I was not interested in fashion. I preferred reading to sports, and I had difficulty talking to boys. As a result, the first year of high school had not been kind to me. I had no close friends.
The girl, Ashley, was very different from me. She was fashionable, and she was very artistic, listening to bands I had never heard of. She was quite popular. We were always in the same classes throughout school, but didn't talk much.
During summer school, the teacher asked us to pair up(结组工作) on a school project. Ashley didn't seem to like working with me at first, but she gave in. I guessed it was because none of her “cool” friends were in the class. We met at the library to work on the project. Ashley did most of the talking. We sat by each other the rest of the summer and when classes ended, we continued to hang out.
I admired Ashley; she was the kind of person I thought I wanted to be. I began to wear the clothes she wore. I quit reading and started watching the TV programs that Ashley watched. I decided to take an art class though I had really wanted to take the theatre. When we started school again, I met Ashley's group of friends, the “cool girls”. She was the leader of the group. To fit in with the group, I followed them around, laughing at their jokes and agreeing with their opinions I actually disagreed with. But I didn't say much.
One day, I went to join the group again. They were chatting without noticing my arrival. One girl said, “Ashley, she just follows you around, trying to be you. She copies you; she doesn't have her own personality(个性).” Ashley replied, “I wish she could find the group she actually belongs to.” I was shocked and sad. I thought I had fit in with them.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
I ran home and told my mother what had happened.
Paragraph 2:
Over the next month, I went through a lot of changes.

◎语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为了让LearnEnglish网站成为一个安全有趣的提高用户英语水平的网站,该网站制订了一些规则,希望用户遵守。
1.B 细节理解题。根据文章The age requirement部分中We welcome learners from around the world who are at least 18 years old.可知,该网站欢迎来自世界各地的至少18岁的学习者。所以该网站是针对成年学习者的。故选B项。根据本部分中If you are 12 or younger, please use LearnEnglish Kids; if you are 13—17, please use LearnEnglish Teens.可知,C项和D项与原文描述不相符;A项“英语老师”不是文章的信息内容。
2.C 细节理解题。根据文章Write in English部分中It's OK if you make mistakes—you can learn a lot from them!可知,如果你犯了错误也没关系——你可以从错误中学到很多东西!所以可知,在评论中犯了错误也没关系,所以C项“发表带有拼写错误的评论”是不违反规则的,是被允许的。故选C项。根据All comments are checked部分中You are not able to change your comments after you have posted them可知A项错误;根据Respect all users中Please also do not write in all capital letters—this is not polite.可知B项错误;根据No links to other websites or advertising中Please do not advertise anything in your profile or comments.可知D项错误。
3.A 细节理解题。根据文章第一段We have house rules to make LearnEnglish a fun and safe place to improve your English, so please make sure you follow these rules.可知,这些规则让LearnEnglish成为一个有趣又安全的提高你的英语水平的地方,所以为了给人们创造一个提高英语水平的良好环境,制订了这些规则。故选A项。

◎语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了传奇人物杰夫·贝佐斯的成功过程和主要成就。
4.C 推理判断题。根据文章第二段第二、三句He was interested in science and many other things from an early age. Jeff's parents owned a garage; later Jeff transformed the garage into a science laboratory.可知,他从小就对科学和许多其他事情感兴趣。杰夫的父母拥有一个车库,后来杰夫把车库改成了科学实验室。由此推断出,当杰夫·贝佐斯年轻的时候,他有很强的好奇心和创造力。故选C。A项“最喜欢科学”,文中只是说他对科学和许多其他事情感兴趣,并未提到最喜欢科学,故A项错误;B项“生活在一个非常富有的家庭”和D项“他比班上大多数其他孩子都聪明”是原文未提及的信息。
5.C 推理判断题。根据文章第三段前三句Then he worked in the field of computer science...also served as deputy chairman in a trust company thereafter.可知,之后,他在华尔街从事计算机科学领域的工作。在那之后,杰夫为一家名为Fitted的国际企业建立网络。此后,杰夫还在一家信托公司担任副董事长。由杰夫·贝佐斯的工作经验可知,他熟悉科技和金融,故选C。而D项“他一直专注于网上销售”与此内容不符。A项“他更喜欢独自工作”没有支撑信息。根据第三段中This company was started by three people together 可知,B项“他是亚马逊唯一的创始人”错误。
6.B 细节理解题。根据文章第四段最后一句The company first started as an online bookstore and then expanded into a wide variety of products and services, including video and audio streaming.可知,该公司最初是一家网上书店,然后扩展到各种产品和服务,包括视频和音频流播。所以亚马逊网站一开始只在网上卖书。故选B。根据第四段第三句He took an estimated $300,000 from his parents and invested in Amazon.可知A项“亚马逊没有得到贝佐斯家人的任何支持”是错误的;根据第四段第二句中Bezos named his new company “Amazon” after the Amazon River in South America可知,D项“亚马逊和亚马孙河在名字上没有什么关系”错误;C项“亚马逊提供了世界上最好的客户服务”文章没有提及。
7.D 推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章介绍了杰夫·贝佐斯的成功历程和成就。所以这篇文章属于人物传记。由此推断出,这篇文章最有可能出现在一本励志故事集里。A项“在一本虚构的书里”;B项“在科学网站上”;C项“在一本时尚设计杂志上”;D项“在励志故事集里”。故选D。
【高频词汇】 1.intelligent adj.聪明的;智能的 2.transform v.改变,使变形 3.quit v.离开(工作职位、学校等);停止;戒掉
4.found v.建立 5.revolution n.革命;大变革 6.estimate v.估计
7.approach n.方法,方式 8.deliver v.交付;发表;递送
9.expand v.扩展,发展(业务)
长难句分析
原句 Bezos named his new company “Amazon” after the Amazon River in South America, as it begins with the letter “A” at the beginning of the alphabet.
分析 这是一个主从复合句。as引导原因状语从句。
句意 贝佐斯以南美洲的亚马孙河命名他的新公司“亚马逊”,因为它以字母表开头的字母“A”开头。
C
◎语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。一项针对100款儿童移动应用程序的研究发现,其中72款程序违反了旨在保护儿童在线隐私的法律。针对这一问题,研究人员开发了一种工具,可以确定移动应用程序是否遵守《儿童在线隐私保护法》。
8.C 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句A study of 100 mobile apps for kids found that 72 broke a law aimed at protecting children's online privacy.可知,一项针对100款儿童移动应用程序的研究发现,其中72款程序违反了旨在保护儿童网络隐私的法律;结合最后一段第一句可知,这项法律要求面向儿童的网站和在线服务在收集13岁以下儿童的个人信息之前必须得到父母的同意,然而,研究发现,许多流行的应用程序并不遵循这一规定。由此可知,大多数面向儿童的移动应用程序出现的问题在于他们收集孩子的私人信息。故选C。其余三项不是原文的信息。
9.B 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句Researchers continue to improve the technology, which they plan to make available for download at no cost. 可知,研究人员继续改进这项技术,他们计划让人们免费下载这项技术。所以可知,父母将免费获得这一测试工具。故选B。其余三项原文未提及。
10.A 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句You have to keep in mind that all this information can be collected by these apps and sent to third parties.可知,你必须记住,这些应用程序可以收集所有这些信息并发送给第三方。所以可知应用程序将会把孩子的隐私发给其他人。故选A。B项“他们会将它发布在网上”、C项“他们会对此保密”和D项“他们将在社会调查中使用它”都不是原文的信息。
11.A 细节理解题。根据最后一段倒数第二句 They advise keeping downloads to a minimum. 可知,研究人员建议,父母将下载量控制在最低水平。所以研究人员对父母的建议是下载尽可能少的应用程序,故选A。同时排除B项“下载尽可能多的应用程序”和C项“不从网上下载应用程序”。D项原文未提及。
【高频词汇】 1.privacy n.隐私;秘密 2.determine v.确定,决定
3.available adj.可获得的;可购得的 4.keep in mind that记住
5.identifiable adj.可辨认的;可识别的 6.geographic adj.地理的;地理学的 7.minimum n.最小值,最低限度
长难句分析
原句 What's worse, games and other apps that violate the COPPA cause privacy risks, which could make it possible for someone to determine a child's ID and location.
分析 本句中that violate the COPPA是that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词games and other apps;which could make it possible for someone to determine a child's ID and location是which引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰前面的整个句子;在该定语从句中it作形式宾语,动词不定式短语to determine a child's ID and location作真正的宾语。
句意 更糟糕的是,违反《儿童在线隐私保护法》的游戏和其他应用程序会造成隐私风险,这可能会让某些人能够确定孩子的身份和位置。
D
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。本文讨论了流式传播服务是否将取代传统电视。
12.A 主旨大意题。根据第二段可知,如今,我们有能力通过流式传播服务观看我们想看的任何东西,无论何时何地。这些服务让我们获得了前所未有的更多内容,包括经典节目和电影这些过往的作品。所以推断出,第二段主要讲了流式传播服务的优点。故选A。B项“传统电视频道的普及”、C项“流式传播服务之间的竞争”和D项“互联网对人们生活的影响”是第二段没有提及的信息。
13.B 词义猜测题。根据第四段第一句可知,在英国,成年人在流式传播服务上观看内容所花的时间比以往任何时候都长。2018年,这个数字是每天26分钟。这是过去十年的趋势,而且看起来短期内不会改变。由此推断出,This指“不断变化的观看习惯”。故选B。
14.D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句Most major TV channels have their own catch-up streaming services, which significantly increase their viewing figures.可知,大多数主要的电视频道都有自己的回放流式传播服务,这大大提高了它们的收视数据。所以主要的电视频道提供流式传播服务以吸引更多的观众。故选D。根据第三句中的the BBC began making content that's only available through its iPlayer service可知,BBC开始制作只能通过其iPlayer服务播放的内容,所以A项是BBC吸引观众的措施;B项“播放更老的电视节目”和C项“向视频制作者寻求帮助”不是原文的信息。
15.B 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段可知,很长一段时间以来,人们只能在家里听收音机来获取新闻、戏剧和音乐。20世纪初,随着电视的发展,这一切都改变了;结合文章最后一段可知,尽管大约50%的家庭现在至少订阅了一项流式传播服务,但我们无法知道电视将走向何方。所以推断出,本文主要讨论了流式传播服务是否将取代传统电视。由此可知,B项“传统电视会被流式传播服务取代吗?”适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。A项“传统的电视网络是如何形成的”、C项“早期电视节目都播些什么”和D项“人们的娱乐方式随着时代的变化而变化”。

长难句分析
原句 Social media sites also provide competition for traditional TV since they allow the uploading of video content, meaning users can watch more shorter clips (电影片段) at their convenience.
分析 这是一个主从复合句。since引导原因状语从句; meaning users can watch more shorter clips at their convenience是现在分词短语作结果状语。
句意 社交媒体网站也为传统电视提供了竞争,因为它们允许上传视频内容,这意味着用户可以在方便的时候观看更多更短的电影片段。
第二节
◎语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章就如何避免阅读假新闻给读者三条建议。
16.D 上文讲到,现在有很多的新闻事件,一些是真的,一些不是,很难把它们区分开。许多人不假思索地看媒体上的新闻。根据下文Here are three simple steps to become a smarter news reader.可知,有三个简单的步骤可以让你成为更加明智的新闻阅读者。所以推断出,设空处应说明人们可以避免阅读假新闻。所以D项“你可以更好地控制你所阅读的新闻”符合语境,承上启下。故选D。
17.B 此空是本段的小标题。根据下文可知,你获得的大部分新闻可能是来自应用程序、网站和社交媒体。Twitter, Facebook 和Google是比较常见的几种。你应该改变那种情况。这些都是技术公司,不是新闻公司。由此推断出,本段给读者的建议是找到真正的新闻来源。所以B项“找到新闻来源”符合语境,故选B。
18.E 根据上文可知,这些是技术公司,而不是新闻公司。为了从广告上挣钱,它们设法让你留在他们的网站上。它们给你看你会喜欢的新闻,但那可能全是谎话或者你以前已经看过的东西;结合下文These places share news for the benefit of the public.可知,这些地方是为了公众的利益而分享新闻。由此推断出,设空处应建议读者到真正的新闻网站阅读新闻。所以E项“因此,直接访问可信的新闻网站更好”符合语境,承上启下,而且下文中的These places指代选项中的trusted news sites。故选E。
19.C 根据小标题Use Basic Math可知,使用基本的数学知识;结合上文News that can't be trusted often uses false numbers. Most readers won't take the time to check them.可知,没有可信度的新闻常常使用错误的数字,大多数读者不会花时间去核实。所以此处说明数学知识可以帮助我们识别新闻的真假。因此C项“简单的数学有助于你更好地发现谎言”符合语境,承接上文。故选C。
20.F 根据上文There is other bias. One is toward the use of simple sound bites (摘引精句) or the headlines.可知,还有其他的偏见。其中一个就是关于使用简单的摘引精句或者头条。由此推断出,设空处应说明简单的摘引精句或头条并不能把重要问题阐述清楚。所以F项“这些不能把重要的问题完全解释清楚”符合语境,承接上文,而且选项中的These指代上文提到的simple sound bites or the headlines。故选F。
【高频词汇】 1.tell...apart区分,分辨 2.take in观看;领会,理解,记住 3.common adj.常见的;共同的;普通的 4.for the benefit of 为了……的利益 5.political adj.政治的;党派的

长难句分析
原句 On March 19, Dennis got a group text informing him that a couple he didn't know were at the hospital,expecting the arrival of a baby.
分析 本句中informing him that...是现在分词短语作后置定语,修饰group text;that引导宾语从句,作动词informing的宾语;在宾语从句中,he didn't know是省略了that或who的定语从句,修饰先行词couple;expecting the arrival of a baby是现在分词短语作伴随状语。
句意 3月19日,Dennis收到一条群发短信,通知他一对他不认识的夫妇正在医院期待一个新生儿的到来。
第二节
◎语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新闻的主要来源和次要来源。
36.presenting 考查非谓语动词。句意:我们在电视上看新闻时,在演播室里主持节目的人是次要来源(因为他给我们讲述新闻),而在伊拉克或华盛顿的记者是主要来源(因为他告诉我们那里实际上正在发生的事情)。分析句子结构,此处已有谓语动词is,所以设空处为非谓语动词,present与逻辑主语the person之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词作后置定语。故填presenting。
37.and/while 考查连词。句意同上。结合句意可知,前后句之间是并列或对比关系,故填and或while。
38.actually 考查副词。句意同上。此处用副词作状语。故填actually。
39.as 考查介词。句意:如果没有这些记者充当主要来源,你将永远无法弄清楚在战争、地震、运动会、音乐会或节日中到底发生了什么。act as充当。
40.happened 考查动词的时态。句意同上。句子是对现在情况的假设,使用了虚拟语气,所以用一般过去时。故填happened。
41.what 考查连接词。句意:这些记者解释发生了什么,这样我们就能更清楚地知道那里发生了什么。分析句子结构可知,此处是介词of后面的宾语从句,从句中缺少主语,指事,所以用what引导。故填what。
42.photographers 考查名词复数。句意:他们经常带着摄影师,摄影师通过提供事件的照片充当主要来源。根据句意可知,那些记者带的摄影师不止一个,且空前无限定词,所以用名词的复数形式。故填photographers。
43.different 考查形容词。句意:在报纸上,这个状况是不同的,因为这两个角色经常结合在一起。be动词后用形容词作表语。故填different。
44.both 考查连词。句意:如果发生这种情况,记者既是主要来源,又是次要来源。此处构成both...and...,意为“既……又……”。故填both。
45.works 考查时态和主谓一致。句意:但与他/她一起工作的摄影师仍然是一个主要来源。根据语境可知应用一般现在时。分析句子,此处为定语从句,先行词为the photographer,因此从句中谓语应用单数形式。故填works。
【高频词汇】 1.primary adj.主要的;最初的 2.source n.来源;根源 3.act as充当 4.position n.状况;位置;姿态 5.combine v.(使)联合,(使)结合 6.investigate v.调查;研究
长难句分析
原句 These reporters explain what is happening so we have a clearer idea of what is going on there.
分析 这是so连接的并列复合句。其中what is happening是what引导的宾语从句,作动词explain的宾语;what is going on there也是what引导的宾语从句,作介词of的宾语。
句意 这些记者解释了正在发生的事情,所以我们对那里正在发生的事情有一个更清楚的了解。
第三部分 写作
第一节
One possible version:
Dear John,
Nice to learn that you want to know about a popular Chinese TV show Letters Alive. I'd like to tell you all that I know.
Letters Alive took its idea from a similar UK program. Celebrities are invited to read letters, bringing their stories alive for the audience. The stories they read come from a variety of owners and have a diverse range of subjects, which allows audience to experience someone else's life. It is also the simplest way to show the traditional culture—letters.
If you want to know more, why not watch the show and experience it in the flesh? I'm sure you'll benefit a lot.
Yours,
Li Hua

Jeff Bezos is an American technology entrepreneur(企业家), investor, and philanthropist(慈善家), and Amazon's founder, president and CEO. His earnings as of 6 June, 2018 were $139 billion.
Born on January 12, 1964, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Jeff Bezos was an intelligent child. He was interested in science and many other things from an early age. Jeff's parents owned a garage; later Jeff transformed the garage into a science laboratory. He lived in Houston, Texas, and graduated from Princeton University in 1986 with degrees in electrical engineering and computer science.
Then he worked in the field of computer science in Wall Street. After that, Jeff did an important job in building a network for an international business called Fitted. Jeff has also served as deputy chairman in a trust company thereafter. He quit his job at D.E. Shaw and founded Amazon in his garage on 5 July, 1993. He worked very hard at Amazon, making him one of the leading Amazon business billionaires. This company was started by three people together and today, there are 20,000 employees working in this company. Jeff Bezos made a history by starting the Amazon website and he also marked the beginning of the Internet revolution, the age of online selling and net banking.
Today, Amazon is called one of the world's biggest business retailers(零售商). Bezos named his new company “Amazon” after the Amazon River in South America, as it begins with the letter “A” at the beginning of the alphabet. He took an estimated $300,000 from his parents and invested in Amazon. With the help of Amazon, Jeff has given people another approach to shopping. In this, the customer orders goods online and a company employee comes and delivers the goods home. The company first started as an online bookstore and then expanded into a wide variety of products and services, including video and audio streaming.
In 1999, Time honored him with the title of the Person of the Year. Forbes selected Jeff as one of the World's 10 Most Powerful CEOs 2018. Jeff is also known as the grandfather of e-business.

A study of 100 mobile apps for kids found that 72 broke a law aimed at protecting children's online privacy. Researchers developed a tool that can determine whether a mobile app follows the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act(COPPA). The tool was 99%right. Researchers continue to improve the technology, which they plan to make available for download at no cost.
When you download an app, it can get a lot of information on your cellphone. You have to keep in mind that all this information can be collected by these apps and sent to third parties. What do they do with it? They can pretty much do anything. We should be careful about this. Apps can get personal identifiable information, including names, email addresses, phone numbers, locations, audio and visual recordings, and unique identifiers or devices such as an International Mobile Equipment Identity(IMEI), Media Access Control(MAC) addresses, Android IDs and Android Advertising IDs. The Advertising ID, for example, allows app developers to collect information on users' interests, which they can then sell to advertisers. What's worse, games and other apps that violate the COPPA cause privacy risks, which could make it possible for someone to determine a child's ID and location. A bad man could probably get the user's email ID and geographic location and try to kidnap the child.
The COPPA requires that websites and online services directed to children get parental agreement before collecting personal information from anyone younger than 13; however, as the research found, many popular apps do not follow the rule. Researchers found that many popular games designed specifically for young children showed users' Android IDs, Android Advertising IDs and device descriptions. Researchers suggest that parents should be careful when downloading or allowing children to download apps. They advise keeping downloads to a minimum. Don't download apps unless they are needed.
8.What is the matter with most mobile apps for kids?
A.They lead children to do wrong.
B.They are too expensive for kids.
C.They collect children's private information.
D.They are too difficult to operate.
9.What can we learn about the testing tool?
A.It will be put online for sale.
B.Parents will get it for free.
C.Apps will find ways to deal with it.
D.Researchers will give it up after the study.
10.What will apps do with kids' privacy?
A.They will send it to others.
B.They will publish it online.
C.They will keep it a secret.
D.They will use it in social surveys.
11.What is the researchers' advice to parents about downloading apps?
A.Downloading as few apps as possible.
B.Downloading as many apps as possible.
C.Downloading no apps from the Internet.
D.Downloading apps that the COPPA identifies.

For a long time, people had to listen to the radio to get news, drama and music at home. This all changed with the development of the television in the early 20th century.
For most of TV's history, we have fitted our weekday evenings around broadcasts of EastEnders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street, except that's no longer the case. Today, we have the power to watch whatever we want, whenever we want, and wherever we want through streaming (流式传播) services. The services have given us access to more content than was ever possible, including back catalogues of classic shows and movies.
It's not just the streaming services that are taking away audiences from traditional TV channels either. Social media sites also provide competition for traditional TV since they allow the uploading of video content, meaning users can watch more shorter clips (电影片段) at their convenience.
In the UK, adults are spending more time watching content on streaming services than ever before. In 2018, these figures were 26 minutes per day. This has been the trend for the past decade and it doesn't look like it will be changing anytime soon. While demand for streaming services is growing, the main UK channels continue to be the most watched overall. For example, in 2018 UK adults continued to watch BBC One for an average of 41 minutes per day, more than any streaming services.
While the traditional TV networks have seen a decline, the television set itself doesn't look like it's going anywhere anytime soon. Most major TV channels have their own catch-up streaming services, which significantly increase their viewing figures. Additionally, the BBC began making content that's only available through its iPlayer service. BBC Two allows its viewers to watch original content at their convenience without having to wait for the show to air on TV first.
So, while around 50% of all households now subscribe to at least one streaming service, there is no way of knowing where television is going.
12.What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The advantages of streaming services.
B.The popularity of traditional TV channels.
C.The competition among streaming services.
D.The effects of the Internet on people's lives.
13.What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Analyzing official figures.
B.The changing viewing habit.
C.Preferring to watch short videos.
D.The great demand for UK channels.
14.What do major TV channels do to attract more audiences?
A.Enrich their content.
B.Put on older TV shows.
C.Seek help from video makers.
D.Provide streaming services.
15.What is the best title for the text?
A.How Traditional TV Networks Were Formed
B.Will Traditional TV Be Replaced by Streaming Services?
C.What Were Broadcast on Early TV Programs?
D.People's Entertainment Ways Change with the Times

Ways to protect yourself from disinformation
There are so many news events, some true, some not. It can be hard to tell them apart. Many people take in the media without thinking twice about it. 16 . Here are three simple steps to become a smarter news reader.
1. 17
You probably get much of your news from apps, sites and social media. Twitter, Facebook and Google are common ones. You should change that. These are technology companies, not news companies. They want to keep you on their sites in order to get money from ads. They show you the news you will like. It may be total lies or something that you have seen before. 18 . These places share news for the benefit of the public.
2.Use Basic Math
News that can't be trusted often uses false numbers. Most readers won't take the time to check them. 19 .
3.Be ware of Bias (偏见)
News media are often called out for political bias. Bias is leans toward or against an idea. News often favors certain political parties. There is other bias. One is toward the use of simple sound bites (摘引精句)or the headlines. 20 . Studies found that false news stories often use simple and repetitive words.
Following these steps can put you back in control.
A.Concentrate on Apps
B.Find News Sources
C.Simple math can help you better spot lies
D.You can have more control over your news
E.So it is better to visit trusted news sites directly
F.These do not fully explain important problems
G.Seeing and hearing should not necessarily be believable

“Congratulations!But I think someone was mistaken,” Dennis 24 .The baby was born and update texts were 25 quickly from the overjoyed grandmother,Teresa. In her 26 ,she didn't seem to realize that she was sharing the baby's photos with a complete stranger. “Well, I don't 27 you all but I will get there to take pictures with the baby,”replied Dennis before asking which room the new 28 were in.
Much to the family's surprise, Dennis stuck to his 29 !He turned up at the hospital 30 gifts for the new mother Lindsey and her baby boy. Lindsey's husband was totally astonished by the unexpected visitor.“I don't think we would have randomly invited him over but we 31 it and the gifts.”

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
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。
When we make news we use primary and secondary sources. We can see this most clearly in TV programmes. As we watch the news on TV, the person 36 ( present ) the programme in the studio is the secondary source (because he tells us about the news ) 37 the reporter in Iraq or Washington is the primary source [because he is telling us about what is 38 ( actual ) happening there]. Without these reporters acting 39 primary sources, you would never find out what really 40 ( happen) in a war, earthquake, sports meeting, concert or festival. These reporters explain what is happening so we have a clearer idea of 41 is going on there. They often take 42 (photographer) with them who act as primary sources by giving pictures of events.
In a newspaper the position is 43 (difference) because these two roles are often combined. This means a reporter who investigates a story may be the same person who writes it. If this happens, the reporter is 44 the primary and the secondary sources. But the photographer who 45 (work) with him/her is still a primary source.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I wasn't the most popular kid in my first year of high school, not even close to. I was not interested in fashion. I preferred reading to sports, and I had difficulty talking to boys. As a result, the first year of high school had not been kind to me. I had no close friends.
The girl, Ashley, was very different from me. She was fashionable, and she was very artistic, listening to bands I had never heard of. She was quite popular. We were always in the same classes throughout school, but didn't talk much.
During summer school, the teacher asked us to pair up(结组工作) on a school project. Ashley didn't seem to like working with me at first, but she gave in. I guessed it was because none of her “cool” friends were in the class. We met at the library to work on the project. Ashley did most of the talking. We sat by each other the rest of the summer and when classes ended, we continued to hang out.
I admired Ashley; she was the kind of person I thought I wanted to be. I began to wear the clothes she wore. I quit reading and started watching the TV programs that Ashley watched. I decided to take an art class though I had really wanted to take the theatre. When we started school again, I met Ashley's group of friends, the “cool girls”. She was the leader of the group. To fit in with the group, I followed them around, laughing at their jokes and agreeing with their opinions I actually disagreed with. But I didn't say much.
One day, I went to join the group again. They were chatting without noticing my arrival. One girl said, “Ashley, she just follows you around, trying to be you. She copies you; she doesn't have her own personality(个性).” Ashley replied, “I wish she could find the group she actually belongs to.” I was shocked and sad. I thought I had fit in with them.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。

◎语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为了让LearnEnglish网站成为一个安全有趣的提高用户英语水平的网站,该网站制订了一些规则,希望用户遵守。
1.B 细节理解题。根据文章The age requirement部分中We welcome learners from around the world who are at least 18 years old.可知,该网站欢迎来自世界各地的至少18岁的学习者。所以该网站是针对成年学习者的。故选B项。根据本部分中If you are 12 or younger, please use LearnEnglish Kids; if you are 13—17, please use LearnEnglish Teens.可知,C项和D项与原文描述不相符;A项“英语老师”不是文章的信息内容。
2.C 细节理解题。根据文章Write in English部分中It's OK if you make mistakes—you can learn a lot from them!可知,如果你犯了错误也没关系——你可以从错误中学到很多东西!所以可知,在评论中犯了错误也没关系,所以C项“发表带有拼写错误的评论”是不违反规则的,是被允许的。故选C项。根据All comments are checked部分中You are not able to change your comments after you have posted them可知A项错误;根据Respect all users中Please also do not write in all capital letters—this is not polite.可知B项错误;根据No links to other websites or advertising中Please do not advertise anything in your profile or comments.可知D项错误。
3.A 细节理解题。根据文章第一段We have house rules to make LearnEnglish a fun and safe place to improve your English, so please make sure you follow these rules.可知,这些规则让LearnEnglish成为一个有趣又安全的提高你的英语水平的地方,所以为了给人们创造一个提高英语水平的良好环境,制订了这些规则。故选A项。

◎语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了传奇人物杰夫·贝佐斯的成功过程和主要成就。
4.C 推理判断题。根据文章第二段第二、三句He was interested in science and many other things from an early age. Jeff's parents owned a garage; later Jeff transformed the garage into a science laboratory.可知,他从小就对科学和许多其他事情感兴趣。杰夫的父母拥有一个车库,后来杰夫把车库改成了科学实验室。由此推断出,当杰夫·贝佐斯年轻的时候,他有很强的好奇心和创造力。故选C。A项“最喜欢科学”,文中只是说他对科学和许多其他事情感兴趣,并未提到最喜欢科学,故A项错误;B项“生活在一个非常富有的家庭”和D项“他比班上大多数其他孩子都聪明”是原文未提及的信息。
5.C 推理判断题。根据文章第三段前三句Then he worked in the field of computer science...also served as deputy chairman in a trust company thereafter.可知,之后,他在华尔街从事计算机科学领域的工作。在那之后,杰夫为一家名为Fitted的国际企业建立网络。此后,杰夫还在一家信托公司担任副董事长。由杰夫·贝佐斯的工作经验可知,他熟悉科技和金融,故选C。而D项“他一直专注于网上销售”与此内容不符。A项“他更喜欢独自工作”没有支撑信息。根据第三段中This company was started by three people together 可知,B项“他是亚马逊唯一的创始人”错误。
6.B 细节理解题。根据文章第四段最后一句The company first started as an online bookstore and then expanded into a wide variety of products and services, including video and audio streaming.可知,该公司最初是一家网上书店,然后扩展到各种产品和服务,包括视频和音频流播。所以亚马逊网站一开始只在网上卖书。故选B。根据第四段第三句He took an estimated $300,000 from his parents and invested in Amazon.可知A项“亚马逊没有得到贝佐斯家人的任何支持”是错误的;根据第四段第二句中Bezos named his new company “Amazon” after the Amazon River in South America可知,D项“亚马逊和亚马孙河在名字上没有什么关系”错误;C项“亚马逊提供了世界上最好的客户服务”文章没有提及。
7.D 推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章介绍了杰夫·贝佐斯的成功历程和成就。所以这篇文章属于人物传记。由此推断出,这篇文章最有可能出现在一本励志故事集里。A项“在一本虚构的书里”;B项“在科学网站上”;C项“在一本时尚设计杂志上”;D项“在励志故事集里”。故选D。

长难句分析
原句 Bezos named his new company “Amazon” after the Amazon River in South America, as it begins with the letter “A” at the beginning of the alphabet.
分析 这是一个主从复合句。as引导原因状语从句。
句意 贝佐斯以南美洲的亚马孙河命名他的新公司“亚马逊”,因为它以字母表开头的字母“A”开头。
C
◎语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。一项针对100款儿童移动应用程序的研究发现,其中72款程序违反了旨在保护儿童在线隐私的法律。针对这一问题,研究人员开发了一种工具,可以确定移动应用程序是否遵守《儿童在线隐私保护法》。
8.C 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句A study of 100 mobile apps for kids found that 72 broke a law aimed at protecting children's online privacy.可知,一项针对100款儿童移动应用程序的研究发现,其中72款程序违反了旨在保护儿童网络隐私的法律;结合最后一段第一句可知,这项法律要求面向儿童的网站和在线服务在收集13岁以下儿童的个人信息之前必须得到父母的同意,然而,研究发现,许多流行的应用程序并不遵循这一规定。由此可知,大多数面向儿童的移动应用程序出现的问题在于他们收集孩子的私人信息。故选C。其余三项不是原文的信息。
9.B 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句Researchers continue to improve the technology, which they plan to make available for download at no cost. 可知,研究人员继续改进这项技术,他们计划让人们免费下载这项技术。所以可知,父母将免费获得这一测试工具。故选B。其余三项原文未提及。
10.A 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句You have to keep in mind that all this information can be collected by these apps and sent to third parties.可知,你必须记住,这些应用程序可以收集所有这些信息并发送给第三方。所以可知应用程序将会把孩子的隐私发给其他人。故选A。B项“他们会将它发布在网上”、C项“他们会对此保密”和D项“他们将在社会调查中使用它”都不是原文的信息。
11.A 细节理解题。根据最后一段倒数第二句 They advise keeping downloads to a minimum. 可知,研究人员建议,父母将下载量控制在最低水平。所以研究人员对父母的建议是下载尽可能少的应用程序,故选A。同时排除B项“下载尽可能多的应用程序”和C项“不从网上下载应用程序”。D项原文未提及。
【高频词汇】 1.privacy n.隐私;秘密 2.determine v.确定,决定
3.available adj.可获得的;可购得的 4.keep in mind that记住
5.identifiable adj.可辨认的;可识别的 6.geographic adj.地理的;地理学的 7.minimum n.最小值,最低限度
长难句分析
原句 What's worse, games and other apps that violate the COPPA cause privacy risks, which could make it possible for someone to determine a child's ID and location.
分析 本句中that violate the COPPA是that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词games and other apps;which could make it possible for someone to determine a child's ID and location是which引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰前面的整个句子;在该定语从句中it作形式宾语,动词不定式短语to determine a child's ID and location作真正的宾语。
句意 更糟糕的是,违反《儿童在线隐私保护法》的游戏和其他应用程序会造成隐私风险,这可能会让某些人能够确定孩子的身份和位置。
D
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。本文讨论了流式传播服务是否将取代传统电视。
12.A 主旨大意题。根据第二段可知,如今,我们有能力通过流式传播服务观看我们想看的任何东西,无论何时何地。这些服务让我们获得了前所未有的更多内容,包括经典节目和电影这些过往的作品。所以推断出,第二段主要讲了流式传播服务的优点。故选A。B项“传统电视频道的普及”、C项“流式传播服务之间的竞争”和D项“互联网对人们生活的影响”是第二段没有提及的信息。
13.B 词义猜测题。根据第四段第一句可知,在英国,成年人在流式传播服务上观看内容所花的时间比以往任何时候都长。2018年,这个数字是每天26分钟。这是过去十年的趋势,而且看起来短期内不会改变。由此推断出,This指“不断变化的观看习惯”。故选B。
14.D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句Most major TV channels have their own catch-up streaming services, which significantly increase their viewing figures.可知,大多数主要的电视频道都有自己的回放流式传播服务,这大大提高了它们的收视数据。所以主要的电视频道提供流式传播服务以吸引更多的观众。故选D。根据第三句中的the BBC began making content that's only available through its iPlayer service可知,BBC开始制作只能通过其iPlayer服务播放的内容,所以A项是BBC吸引观众的措施;B项“播放更老的电视节目”和C项“向视频制作者寻求帮助”不是原文的信息。
15.B 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段可知,很长一段时间以来,人们只能在家里听收音机来获取新闻、戏剧和音乐。20世纪初,随着电视的发展,这一切都改变了;结合文章最后一段可知,尽管大约50%的家庭现在至少订阅了一项流式传播服务,但我们无法知道电视将走向何方。所以推断出,本文主要讨论了流式传播服务是否将取代传统电视。由此可知,B项“传统电视会被流式传播服务取代吗?”适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。A项“传统的电视网络是如何形成的”、C项“早期电视节目都播些什么”和D项“人们的娱乐方式随着时代的变化而变化”。
【高频词汇】 1.access n.机会;通道 2.content n.主要内容;容量 3.at one's convenience 在某人方便之时 4.decline n.下降;衰退 5.significantly adv.明显地,显著地 6.original adj.原来的;起初的 7.subscribe to订阅
长难句分析
原句 Social media sites also provide competition for traditional TV since they allow the uploading of video content, meaning users can watch more shorter clips (电影片段) at their convenience.
分析 这是一个主从复合句。since引导原因状语从句; meaning users can watch more shorter clips at their convenience是现在分词短语作结果状语。
句意 社交媒体网站也为传统电视提供了竞争,因为它们允许上传视频内容,这意味着用户可以在方便的时候观看更多更短的电影片段。
第二节
◎语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章就如何避免阅读假新闻给读者三条建议。
16.D 上文讲到,现在有很多的新闻事件,一些是真的,一些不是,很难把它们区分开。许多人不假思索地看媒体上的新闻。根据下文Here are three simple steps to become a smarter news reader.可知,有三个简单的步骤可以让你成为更加明智的新闻阅读者。所以推断出,设空处应说明人们可以避免阅读假新闻。所以D项“你可以更好地控制你所阅读的新闻”符合语境,承上启下。故选D。
17.B 此空是本段的小标题。根据下文可知,你获得的大部分新闻可能是来自应用程序、网站和社交媒体。Twitter, Facebook 和Google是比较常见的几种。你应该改变那种情况。这些都是技术公司,不是新闻公司。由此推断出,本段给读者的建议是找到真正的新闻来源。所以B项“找到新闻来源”符合语境,故选B。
18.E 根据上文可知,这些是技术公司,而不是新闻公司。为了从广告上挣钱,它们设法让你留在他们的网站上。它们给你看你会喜欢的新闻,但那可能全是谎话或者你以前已经看过的东西;结合下文These places share news for the benefit of the public.可知,这些地方是为了公众的利益而分享新闻。由此推断出,设空处应建议读者到真正的新闻网站阅读新闻。所以E项“因此,直接访问可信的新闻网站更好”符合语境,承上启下,而且下文中的These places指代选项中的trusted news sites。故选E。
19.C 根据小标题Use Basic Math可知,使用基本的数学知识;结合上文News that can't be trusted often uses false numbers. Most readers won't take the time to check them.可知,没有可信度的新闻常常使用错误的数字,大多数读者不会花时间去核实。所以此处说明数学知识可以帮助我们识别新闻的真假。因此C项“简单的数学有助于你更好地发现谎言”符合语境,承接上文。故选C。
20.F 根据上文There is other bias. One is toward the use of simple sound bites (摘引精句) or the headlines.可知,还有其他的偏见。其中一个就是关于使用简单的摘引精句或者头条。由此推断出,设空处应说明简单的摘引精句或头条并不能把重要问题阐述清楚。所以F项“这些不能把重要的问题完全解释清楚”符合语境,承接上文,而且选项中的These指代上文提到的simple sound bites or the headlines。故选F。
【高频词汇】 1.tell...apart区分,分辨 2.take in观看;领会,理解,记住 3.common adj.常见的;共同的;普通的 4.for the benefit of 为了……的利益 5.political adj.政治的;党派的

长难句分析
原句 On March 19, Dennis got a group text informing him that a couple he didn't know were at the hospital,expecting the arrival of a baby.
分析 本句中informing him that...是现在分词短语作后置定语,修饰group text;that引导宾语从句,作动词informing的宾语;在宾语从句中,he didn't know是省略了that或who的定语从句,修饰先行词couple;expecting the arrival of a baby是现在分词短语作伴随状语。
句意 3月19日,Dennis收到一条群发短信,通知他一对他不认识的夫妇正在医院期待一个新生儿的到来。
第二节
◎语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新闻的主要来源和次要来源。
36.presenting 考查非谓语动词。句意:我们在电视上看新闻时,在演播室里主持节目的人是次要来源(因为他给我们讲述新闻),而在伊拉克或华盛顿的记者是主要来源(因为他告诉我们那里实际上正在发生的事情)。分析句子结构,此处已有谓语动词is,所以设空处为非谓语动词,present与逻辑主语the person之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词作后置定语。故填presenting。
37.and/while 考查连词。句意同上。结合句意可知,前后句之间是并列或对比关系,故填and或while。
38.actually 考查副词。句意同上。此处用副词作状语。故填actually。
39.as 考查介词。句意:如果没有这些记者充当主要来源,你将永远无法弄清楚在战争、地震、运动会、音乐会或节日中到底发生了什么。act as充当。
40.happened 考查动词的时态。句意同上。句子是对现在情况的假设,使用了虚拟语气,所以用一般过去时。故填happened。
41.what 考查连接词。句意:这些记者解释发生了什么,这样我们就能更清楚地知道那里发生了什么。分析句子结构可知,此处是介词of后面的宾语从句,从句中缺少主语,指事,所以用what引导。故填what。
42.photographers 考查名词复数。句意:他们经常带着摄影师,摄影师通过提供事件的照片充当主要来源。根据句意可知,那些记者带的摄影师不止一个,且空前无限定词,所以用名词的复数形式。故填photographers。
43.different 考查形容词。句意:在报纸上,这个状况是不同的,因为这两个角色经常结合在一起。be动词后用形容词作表语。故填different。
44.both 考查连词。句意:如果发生这种情况,记者既是主要来源,又是次要来源。此处构成both...and...,意为“既……又……”。故填both。
45.works 考查时态和主谓一致。句意:但与他/她一起工作的摄影师仍然是一个主要来源。根据语境可知应用一般现在时。分析句子,此处为定语从句,先行词为the photographer,因此从句中谓语应用单数形式。故填works。
【高频词汇】 1.primary adj.主要的;最初的 2.source n.来源;根源 3.act as充当 4.position n.状况;位置;姿态 5.combine v.(使)联合,(使)结合 6.investigate v.调查;研究
长难句分析
原句 These reporters explain what is happening so we have a clearer idea of what is going on there.
分析 这是so连接的并列复合句。其中what is happening是what引导的宾语从句,作动词explain的宾语;what is going on there也是what引导的宾语从句,作介词of的宾语。
句意 这些记者解释了正在发生的事情,所以我们对那里正在发生的事情有一个更清楚的了解。
第三部分 写作
第一节
One possible version:
Dear John,
Nice to learn that you want to know about a popular Chinese TV show Letters Alive. I'd like to tell you all that I know.
Letters Alive took its idea from a similar UK program. Celebrities are invited to read letters, bringing their stories alive for the audience. The stories they read come from a variety of owners and have a diverse range of subjects, which allows audience to experience someone else's life. It is also the simplest way to show the traditional culture—letters.
If you want to know more, why not watch the show and experience it in the flesh? I'm sure you'll benefit a lot.
Yours,
Li Hua

I ran home and told my mother what had happened. She just hugged me while I cried for hours. I felt lonely and sad. The advice my mother gave me was so simple. I had heard it a million times, but this time it was impressive: “Just be yourself and people will like you for who you are.” Hearing that, I stopped crying and decided to find out who I was. That was exactly what I did. I didn't hang out with Ashley and her group any longer.
Paragraph 2:
Over the next month, I went through a lot of changes.I dropped the art class and took the theatre. I began making new friends who liked me for who I was. I continued reading, and developed my own opinions. I never again followed the crowd. I built up the courage to participate in each of my school plays, and played lead roles. The friends I made in the theatre are still my great friends. When looking back, I think it was that year that I found out the person I was going to be.
