I live in Mentone, a quiet, simple, restful place, where the rich never come. I met Theophile Magnan, a retired, rich, old man from Lyons yesterday, in the Hotel des Anglais. Theophile looked sad and dreamy, and didn’t talk with anybody else, which brought me back to the past.
A long time ago, Francois Millet, Claude, Carl and I were young artists—very young artists—in fact.
Yes, Francois Millet, the great French artist, was my friend.
Millet wasn’t any greater than we were at that time. He didn’t have any fame, even in his own village. We were all poor, though we had stacks and stacks of as good pictures as anybody in Europe painted. Once a person ever offered four francs for Millet’s “Angelus”, which he intended to sell for eight.
It was a fact in human history that a great artist would never be acknowledged(承认) until after he was starved and dead. His pictures climbed to high prices after his death.
Then we made a decision that one of us must die, to save the others and himself.
Millet was chosen-chosen to die.
During the next three months, Millet painted with all his might, enlarged his stock all he could, not pictures, but sketches, studies, parts of studies, fragments of studies, of course, with his cipher on them. They were the things to be sold.
Carl went to Paris to start the work of building up Millet’s name. Claude and I went to sell Millet’s small pictures and to build up his name as well.
We made Millet a master. I always said to my customer, “I am a fool to sell a picture of Francois Millet’s at all, for he is not going to live three months, and when he dies, his pictures can’t be had for love or money.” Claude and I took care to spread that little fact as far as we could. Carl made friends with the correspondents(客户), and got Millet’s condition reported to England and all over the continent, and America, and everywhere.
The sad end came at last. Millet died, not really. He became Theophile Magnan.
The pictures went up. There’s a man in Paris today who owns seventy Millet’s pictures. He paid us two million francs for them. Do you still remember the “Angelus”? Carl sold it for twenty-two hundred francs. And as for the bushels of sketches and studies which Millet produced in the last six weeks, well, it would astonish you to know the figure we sell them at nowadays.
We are no longer artists and Millet died.
24. Why did the four friends decide to choose one of them to die?
A. They wanted to be rich.
B. They wanted to be famous.
C. They wanted to save money.
D. They wanted to be respected
25. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the passage?
A. The writer lives a busy life in Mentone.
B. Millet was finally made a famous artist.
C. Millet painted best among the four friends.
D. The story was written in memory of Millet.
26. What made the four friends’ plan successful?
A. That they didn’t want to be artists any longer.
B. That Millet’s pictures were sold at very high prices.
C. People’s attitude towards the artists who were starving.
D. People’s desire to own valuable art works at low prices.
C
Tim Berners-Lee. If you don’t know his name, you’ve surely used his famous invention. The British scientist created the World Wide Web.
On Oct.29, 2019, the Internet officially turned 50 years old. To mark the day, Berners-Lee wrote online, “The Internet and the web have changed billions of lives for the better. But their power for good is under threat(威胁). This birthday must mark the moment we take on the fight for the web we want.”
Speaking at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), he pointed out three problems affecting today’s web-criminal behavior, ad-based websites, and offensive online communication. These problems led Berners-Lee to create the Web Foundation for the web. The Foundation aims to protect internet users.
Despite all of these negatives, we shouldn’t forget about all the benefits the Internet brings. In this digital age, the Internet connects the world through social media, cashless payments and has become an important source of information. It can also make a positive difference through activities that push for positive change, education or aid.
One such activity is Movember. The movement, held every November, encourages men to grow a mustache(胡子) for the whole month, post pictures online, and donate. The charity promotes physical health, mental health, and suicide(自杀) prevention for men. Not to mention, the Internet is also a source of fun. From funny kitten videos on Weibo to your very own Douyin videos, the Internet allows you to share what you create.
Speaking to the Web Foundation, Berners-Lee said, “The web has become a public square, a library, a doctor’s office, a shop, a school, and it has given marginalized groups who have few chances to express themselves in real life a voice.” In the next 30 years, if we give up on trying to build a better web, we will have failed it. We need to come together as a global community.”
27. According to Tim Berners-Lee, the Web Foundation was created to ________.
A. fight against online crime
B. celebrate the Internet’s 50th birthday
C. increase internet speeds around the world
D. build a better protected network environment
28 Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Movember is held to draw public attention to men’s mustache.
B. Tim Berners-Lee, the American scientist created World Wide Web.
C. More people prefer to use the Internet for fun instead of getting information.
D. In the future, we will probably fail to build a better web unless we keep trying.
29. The underlined phrase “marginalized groups” in the last paragraph probably refers to ________.
A. wealthy people
B. old people
C. disadvantaged people
D. powerful people
30. The article is mainly about ________.
A. the history of the World Wide Web
B. the problems of the World Wide Web
C. Tim Berners-Lee’s plans to save the World Wide Web
D. the plan to celebrate World Wide Web’s 50th birthday

九、阅读表达
阅读下面的短文，并根据短文内容回答后面的问题。
Mr. Dawson was bad-tempered and everyone in town knew it. Kids knew not to go into his yard to pick an apple, because old Dawson, they said, would come after you with his gun.
One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was walking out with her friend Amy. They had to go by Dawson’s house, but as they got close, Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and advised them to cross over the street. Like most, she was afraid of the man.
Amy said not to worry. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown (皱眉), but when he saw it was Amy, he gave a broad smile.
Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight with her, they were going to listen to music and play games. Dawson told them that sounded fun, and gave them each an apple.
Later, Janet asked Amy, “Everyone says he isn’t generous. Actually he’s the meanest man in town. How come he was so nice to us?"
Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house, he wasn’t very friendly, but she pretended (假装) he was wearing an invisible smile and so she always smiled. It took a while, but one day he half-smiled back.
After a while, he started smiling real smiles and then talked to her. She said he always offers her an apple now, and is always very kind.
“An invisible smile?” questioned Janet
“Yes,” answered Amy, “My grandma told me that if I pretended I wasn’t afraid and pretended he was smiling an invisible smile at me and I smiled back at him, sooner or later he would really smile.”
If we remember that everyone wears an invisible smile, we too will find that most people can’t resist our smile after a while.
It’s so easy to get caught up in everyday life that we forget how simply we can bring cheer to ourselves and others. Giving a smile takes so little effort. Let’s make sure that we’re not the ones that others have to pretend are wearing invisible smiles.
60. What did people in town think of Mr. Dawson?
________________
61. How did Amy make Mr. Dawson nice to her?
________________
62. Will you keep smiling in your life? Why or why not?
________________

【解析】
【详解】句意：——你叔叔四十多岁了吗？——是的。他的41岁生日下个月就要到了。
考查数词用法。“in one's+整十数的复数形式”意为“在某人几十多岁时”，故第一个空格处应为forties；表示“41岁生日”时，birthday前应用序数词表示顺序，故第二空格处应为forty-first。故选B。
9. —What do you think of my plan, Lucy?
—Well, ________ . I agree with you. But I think you’d better ask Tom. He may have some different idea.
A. in general B. in fact C. in need D. in all

考查介词短语，in general总的来说；in fact事实上；in need在危难中；in all总共。根据“I agree with you. But I think you’d better ask Tom. He may have some different idea.”，可知应是总的来说更符合语境，故选A。

B
I live in Mentone, a quiet, simple, restful place, where the rich never come. I met Theophile Magnan, a retired, rich, old man from Lyons yesterday, in the Hotel des Anglais. Theophile looked sad and dreamy, and didn’t talk with anybody else, which brought me back to the past.
A long time ago, Francois Millet, Claude, Carl and I were young artists—very young artists—in fact.
Yes, Francois Millet, the great French artist, was my friend.
Millet wasn’t any greater than we were at that time. He didn’t have any fame, even in his own village. We were all poor, though we had stacks and stacks of as good pictures as anybody in Europe painted. Once a person ever offered four francs for Millet’s “Angelus”, which he intended to sell for eight.
It was a fact in human history that a great artist would never be acknowledged(承认) until after he was starved and dead. His pictures climbed to high prices after his death.
Then we made a decision that one of us must die, to save the others and himself.
Millet was chosen-chosen to die.
During the next three months, Millet painted with all his might, enlarged his stock all he could, not pictures, but sketches, studies, parts of studies, fragments of studies, of course, with his cipher on them. They were the things to be sold.
Carl went to Paris to start the work of building up Millet’s name. Claude and I went to sell Millet’s small pictures and to build up his name as well.
We made Millet a master. I always said to my customer, “I am a fool to sell a picture of Francois Millet’s at all, for he is not going to live three months, and when he dies, his pictures can’t be had for love or money.” Claude and I took care to spread that little fact as far as we could. Carl made friends with the correspondents(客户), and got Millet’s condition reported to England and all over the continent, and America, and everywhere.
The sad end came at last. Millet died, not really. He became Theophile Magnan.
The pictures went up. There’s a man in Paris today who owns seventy Millet’s pictures. He paid us two million francs for them. Do you still remember the “Angelus”? Carl sold it for twenty-two hundred francs. And as for the bushels of sketches and studies which Millet produced in the last six weeks, well, it would astonish you to know the figure we sell them at nowadays.
We are no longer artists and Millet died.
24. Why did the four friends decide to choose one of them to die?
A. They wanted to be rich.
B. They wanted to be famous.
C. They wanted to save money.
D. They wanted to be respected
25. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the passage?
A. The writer lives a busy life in Mentone.

C. Millet painted best among the four friends.
D. The story was written in memory of Millet.

A. That they didn’t want to be artists any longer.
B. That Millet’s pictures were sold at very high prices.
C. People’s attitude towards the artists who were starving.

Tim Berners-Lee. If you don’t know his name, you’ve surely used his famous invention. The British scientist created the World Wide Web.
On Oct.29, 2019, the Internet officially turned 50 years old. To mark the day, Berners-Lee wrote online, “The Internet and the web have changed billions of lives for the better. But their power for good is under threat(威胁). This birthday must mark the moment we take on the fight for the web we want.”
Speaking at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), he pointed out three problems affecting today’s web-criminal behavior, ad-based websites, and offensive online communication. These problems led Berners-Lee to create the Web Foundation for the web. The Foundation aims to protect internet users.
Despite all of these negatives, we shouldn’t forget about all the benefits the Internet brings. In this digital age, the Internet connects the world through social media, cashless payments and has become an important source of information. It can also make a positive difference through activities that push for positive change, education or aid.
One such activity is Movember. The movement, held every November, encourages men to grow a mustache(胡子) for the whole month, post pictures online, and donate. The charity promotes physical health, mental health, and suicide(自杀) prevention for men. Not to mention, the Internet is also a source of fun. From funny kitten videos on Weibo to your very own Douyin videos, the Internet allows you to share what you create.
Speaking to the Web Foundation, Berners-Lee said, “The web has become a public square, a library, a doctor’s office, a shop, a school, and it has given marginalized groups who have few chances to express themselves in real life a voice.” In the next 30 years, if we give up on trying to build a better web, we will have failed it. We need to come together as a global community.”
27. According to Tim Berners-Lee, the Web Foundation was created to ________.
A fight against online crime
B. celebrate the Internet’s 50th birthday
C. increase internet speeds around the world
D. build a better protected network environment
28. Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Movember is held to draw public attention to men’s mustache.
B. Tim Berners-Lee, the American scientist created World Wide Web.
C. More people prefer to use the Internet for fun instead of getting information.
D. In the future, we will probably fail to build a better web unless we keep trying.
29. The underlined phrase “marginalized groups” in the last paragraph probably refers to ________.
A. wealthy people
B. old people
C. disadvantaged people
D. powerful people
30. The article is mainly about ________.
A. the history of the World Wide Web
B. the problems of the World Wide Web
C. Tim Berners-Lee’s plans to save the World Wide Web
D. the plan to celebrate World Wide Web’s 50th birthday
【答案】27. D 28. D 29. C 30. A
【解析】

【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“In the next 30 years, if we give up on trying to build a better web, we will have failed it.”可知，在未来的30年里，如果我们放弃建设一个更好的网络的尝试，我们就会失败。D选项为原文的同义句。故选D。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据修饰的定语从句“who have few chances to express themselves in real life”可知，该句是对“marginalized groups” 的解释，表示“在现实生活中很少有机会表达自己”，结合选项，C选项“弱势群体”与其意思一致。故选C。
【30题详解】

One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was walking out with her friend Amy. They had to go by Dawson’s house, but as they got close, Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and advised them to cross over the street. Like most, she was afraid of the man.
Amy said not to worry. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown (皱眉), but when he saw it was Amy, he gave a broad smile.
Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight with her, they were going to listen to music and play games. Dawson told them that sounded fun, and gave them each an apple.
Later, Janet asked Amy, “Everyone says he isn’t generous. Actually he’s the meanest man in town. How come he was so nice to us?"
Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house, he wasn’t very friendly, but she pretended (假装) he was wearing an invisible smile and so she always smiled. It took a while, but one day he half-smiled back.
After a while, he started smiling real smiles and then talked to her. She said he always offers her an apple now, and is always very kind.
“An invisible smile?” questioned Janet.
“Yes,” answered Amy, “My grandma told me that if I pretended I wasn’t afraid and pretended he was smiling an invisible smile at me and I smiled back at him, sooner or later he would really smile.”

I live in Mentone, a quiet, simple, restful place, where the rich never come. I met Theophile Magnan, a retired, rich, old man from Lyons yesterday, in the Hotel des Anglais. Theophile looked sad and dreamy, and didn’t talk with anybody else, which brought me back to the past.
A long time ago, Francois Millet, Claude, Carl and I were young artists—very young artists—in fact.
Yes, Francois Millet, the great French artist, was my friend.
Millet wasn’t any greater than we were at that time. He didn’t have any fame, even in his own village. We were all poor, though we had stacks and stacks of as good pictures as anybody in Europe painted. Once a person ever offered four francs for Millet’s “Angelus”, which he intended to sell for eight.
It was a fact in human history that a great artist would never be acknowledged(承认) until after he was starved and dead. His pictures climbed to high prices after his death.
Then we made a decision that one of us must die, to save the others and himself.
Millet was chosen-chosen to die.
During the next three months, Millet painted with all his might, enlarged his stock all he could, not pictures, but sketches, studies, parts of studies, fragments of studies, of course, with his cipher on them. They were the things to be sold.
Carl went to Paris to start the work of building up Millet’s name. Claude and I went to sell Millet’s small pictures and to build up his name as well.
We made Millet a master. I always said to my customer, “I am a fool to sell a picture of Francois Millet’s at all, for he is not going to live three months, and when he dies, his pictures can’t be had for love or money.” Claude and I took care to spread that little fact as far as we could. Carl made friends with the correspondents(客户), and got Millet’s condition reported to England and all over the continent, and America, and everywhere.
The sad end came at last. Millet died, not really. He became Theophile Magnan.
The pictures went up. There’s a man in Paris today who owns seventy Millet’s pictures. He paid us two million francs for them. Do you still remember the “Angelus”? Carl sold it for twenty-two hundred francs. And as for the bushels of sketches and studies which Millet produced in the last six weeks, well, it would astonish you to know the figure we sell them at nowadays.
We are no longer artists and Millet died.
24. Why did the four friends decide to choose one of them to die?
A. They wanted to be rich.
B. They wanted to be famous.
C. They wanted to save money.
D. They wanted to be respected
25. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the passage?
A. The writer lives a busy life in Mentone.
B. Millet was finally made a famous artist.
C. Millet painted best among the four friends.
D. The story was written in memory of Millet.
26. What made the four friends’ plan successful?
A. That they didn’t want to be artists any longer.
B. That Millet’s pictures were sold at very high prices.
C. People’s attitude towards the artists who were starving.
D. People’s desire to own valuable art works at low prices.

九、阅读表达
阅读下面的短文，并根据短文内容回答后面的问题。
Mr. Dawson was bad-tempered and everyone in town knew it. Kids knew not to go into his yard to pick an apple, because old Dawson, they said, would come after you with his gun.
One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was walking out with her friend Amy. They had to go by Dawson’s house, but as they got close, Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and advised them to cross over the street. Like most, she was afraid of the man.
Amy said not to worry. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown (皱眉), but when he saw it was Amy, he gave a broad smile.
Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight with her, they were going to listen to music and play games. Dawson told them that sounded fun, and gave them each an apple.
Later, Janet asked Amy, “Everyone says he isn’t generous. Actually he’s the meanest man in town. How come he was so nice to us?"
Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house, he wasn’t very friendly, but she pretended (假装) he was wearing an invisible smile and so she always smiled. It took a while, but one day he half-smiled back.
After a while, he started smiling real smiles and then talked to her. She said he always offers her an apple now, and is always very kind.
“An invisible smile?” questioned Janet
“Yes,” answered Amy, “My grandma told me that if I pretended I wasn’t afraid and pretended he was smiling an invisible smile at me and I smiled back at him, sooner or later he would really smile.”
If we remember that everyone wears an invisible smile, we too will find that most people can’t resist our smile after a while.
It’s so easy to get caught up in everyday life that we forget how simply we can bring cheer to ourselves and others. Giving a smile takes so little effort. Let’s make sure that we’re not the ones that others have to pretend are wearing invisible smiles.
60. What did people in town think of Mr. Dawson?
________________
61. How did Amy make Mr. Dawson nice to her?
________________
62. Will you keep smiling in your life? Why or why not?

【解析】
【详解】句意：——你叔叔四十多岁了吗？——是的。他的41岁生日下个月就要到了。
考查数词用法。“in one's+整十数的复数形式”意为“在某人几十多岁时”，故第一个空格处应为forties；表示“41岁生日”时，birthday前应用序数词表示顺序，故第二空格处应为forty-first。故选B。
9. —What do you think of my plan, Lucy?
—Well, ________ . I agree with you. But I think you’d better ask Tom. He may have some different idea.

考查介词短语，in general总的来说；in fact事实上；in need在危难中；in all总共。根据“I agree with you. But I think you’d better ask Tom. He may have some different idea.”，可知应是总的来说更符合语境，故选A。

I live in Mentone, a quiet, simple, restful place, where the rich never come. I met Theophile Magnan, a retired, rich, old man from Lyons yesterday, in the Hotel des Anglais. Theophile looked sad and dreamy, and didn’t talk with anybody else, which brought me back to the past.
A long time ago, Francois Millet, Claude, Carl and I were young artists—very young artists—in fact.
Yes, Francois Millet, the great French artist, was my friend.
Millet wasn’t any greater than we were at that time. He didn’t have any fame, even in his own village. We were all poor, though we had stacks and stacks of as good pictures as anybody in Europe painted. Once a person ever offered four francs for Millet’s “Angelus”, which he intended to sell for eight.
It was a fact in human history that a great artist would never be acknowledged(承认) until after he was starved and dead. His pictures climbed to high prices after his death.
Then we made a decision that one of us must die, to save the others and himself.
Millet was chosen-chosen to die.
During the next three months, Millet painted with all his might, enlarged his stock all he could, not pictures, but sketches, studies, parts of studies, fragments of studies, of course, with his cipher on them. They were the things to be sold.
Carl went to Paris to start the work of building up Millet’s name. Claude and I went to sell Millet’s small pictures and to build up his name as well.
We made Millet a master. I always said to my customer, “I am a fool to sell a picture of Francois Millet’s at all, for he is not going to live three months, and when he dies, his pictures can’t be had for love or money.” Claude and I took care to spread that little fact as far as we could. Carl made friends with the correspondents(客户), and got Millet’s condition reported to England and all over the continent, and America, and everywhere.
The sad end came at last. Millet died, not really. He became Theophile Magnan.
The pictures went up. There’s a man in Paris today who owns seventy Millet’s pictures. He paid us two million francs for them. Do you still remember the “Angelus”? Carl sold it for twenty-two hundred francs. And as for the bushels of sketches and studies which Millet produced in the last six weeks, well, it would astonish you to know the figure we sell them at nowadays.
We are no longer artists and Millet died.
24. Why did the four friends decide to choose one of them to die?
A. They wanted to be rich.
B. They wanted to be famous.
C. They wanted to save money.
D. They wanted to be respected
25. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the passage?
A. The writer lives a busy life in Mentone.
B. Millet was finally made a famous artist.
C. Millet painted best among the four friends.
D. The story was written in memory of Millet.
26. What made the four friends’ plan successful?
A. That they didn’t want to be artists any longer.
B. That Millet’s pictures were sold at very high prices.
C. People’s attitude towards the artists who were starving.
D. People’s desire to own valuable art works at low prices.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述的是作者和他的几位朋友都是非常年轻的艺术家，虽然他们有一堆的好画，但是却卖不了高价。他们知道一个伟大的艺术家在死后，他的画可以卖到很高的价格，所以他们当中的Millet被选中了死亡。他们到处宣传Millet快要死的消息，终于Millet成了大师，他的画也卖到了很高的价格。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据“It was a fact in human history that a great artist would never be acknowledged(承认) until after he was starved and dead. His pictures climbed to high prices after his death.”和“Then we made a decision that one of us must die, to save the others and himself.”可知，很多画家都是在挨饿和死亡之后作品的价格才上涨，得到认可，这些人决定死一个人，以拯救其他人和他自己。所以他们是想致富，故选A。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据“The sad end came at last. Millet died, not really. He became Theophile Magnan.”可知，可悲的结局终于来了，Millet死了，但不是真的死了，他成了Theophile Magnan。所以小米最终成为一位著名的艺术家，故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。本文讲述这些艺术家知道艺术家死后作品才值钱，所以到处宣扬Millet快要死的消息，计划之所以成功是因为人们渴望以低价拥有有价值的艺术品。故选D。

Tim Berners-Lee. If you don’t know his name, you’ve surely used his famous invention. The British scientist created the World Wide Web.
On Oct.29, 2019, the Internet officially turned 50 years old. To mark the day, Berners-Lee wrote online, “The Internet and the web have changed billions of lives for the better. But their power for good is under threat(威胁). This birthday must mark the moment we take on the fight for the web we want.”
Speaking at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), he pointed out three problems affecting today’s web-criminal behavior, ad-based websites, and offensive online communication. These problems led Berners-Lee to create the Web Foundation for the web. The Foundation aims to protect internet users.
Despite all of these negatives, we shouldn’t forget about all the benefits the Internet brings. In this digital age, the Internet connects the world through social media, cashless payments and has become an important source of information. It can also make a positive difference through activities that push for positive change, education or aid.
One such activity is Movember. The movement, held every November, encourages men to grow a mustache(胡子) for the whole month, post pictures online, and donate. The charity promotes physical health, mental health, and suicide(自杀) prevention for men. Not to mention, the Internet is also a source of fun. From funny kitten videos on Weibo to your very own Douyin videos, the Internet allows you to share what you create.
Speaking to the Web Foundation, Berners-Lee said, “The web has become a public square, a library, a doctor’s office, a shop, a school, and it has given marginalized groups who have few chances to express themselves in real life a voice.” In the next 30 years, if we give up on trying to build a better web, we will have failed it. We need to come together as a global community.”
27. According to Tim Berners-Lee, the Web Foundation was created to ________.
A fight against online crime
B. celebrate the Internet’s 50th birthday
C. increase internet speeds around the world
D. build a better protected network environment
28. Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Movember is held to draw public attention to men’s mustache.
B. Tim Berners-Lee, the American scientist created World Wide Web.
C. More people prefer to use the Internet for fun instead of getting information.
D. In the future, we will probably fail to build a better web unless we keep trying.
29. The underlined phrase “marginalized groups” in the last paragraph probably refers to ________.
A. wealthy people
B. old people
C. disadvantaged people
D. powerful people
30. The article is mainly about ________.
A. the history of the World Wide Web
B. the problems of the World Wide Web
C. Tim Berners-Lee’s plans to save the World Wide Web
D. the plan to celebrate World Wide Web’s 50th birthday
【答案】27. D 28. D 29. C 30. A
【解析】
【分析】本文主要讲了万维网的发展历史。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“These problems led Berners-Lee to create the Web Foundation for the web. The Foundation aims to protect internet users..”可知，该基金会的创建是为了保护网络用户，即为人们创建更好的网络环境，故选D。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“In the next 30 years, if we give up on trying to build a better web, we will have failed it.”可知，在未来的30年里，如果我们放弃建设一个更好的网络的尝试，我们就会失败。D选项为原文的同义句。故选D。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据修饰的定语从句“who have few chances to express themselves in real life”可知，该句是对“marginalized groups” 的解释，表示“在现实生活中很少有机会表达自己”，结合选项，C选项“弱势群体”与其意思一致。故选C。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据“These problems led Berners-Lee to create the Web Foundation for the web. The Foundation aims to protect internet users.”结合全文可知，本文主要讲了万维网的发展历史。故选A。

【详解】结合语境可知本句用一般过去时。“少吃”eat less；“多运动”exercise more；“和”and。此处“少吃和多运动”是句子主语，所以动词要用动名词；“让某人做某事”make sb.do sth.，“感觉更好”feel better。故填Eating less and exercising more didn’t make her feel better.
57. 没人知道他如何成功地让总经理改变了主意。
________________
【答案】No one knows how he succeeded in getting the general manager to change his mind.
【解析】
【详解】no one表示“没有人”，作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数，know表示“知道”，后接how引导的宾语从句，主句时态是一般现在时，从句描绘发生过的事，用一般过去时。succeed in doing sth表示“成功做某事”；get sb to do sth表示“让某人做某事”；the general manager表示“总经理”；change his mind表示“改变主意”。故填No one knows how he succeeded in getting the general manager to change his mind.
58. 如果被嘲笑, 为什么不更努力些取得更大进步?
If ________, why not work harder ________?
【答案】①. you are laughed at②. and make greater progress
【解析】
【详解】“if”引导的条件状语从句是一般现在时, 主语是“you”，表达“嘲笑”用动词短语“laugh at”。表达“被嘲笑”用一般现在时的被动结构“are laughed”。表达“取得进步”用动词短语“make progress”，表达“更大”用形容词比较级“greater”做定语修饰名词“progress”。与前面的“work harder”并列, 用连词“and”连接两个动词短语。故填you are laughed at；and make greater progress。
59. 每当他灰心时，他妈妈总能给他提供一些建议，帮他振作起来。
________, his mum always offers him some advice ________.
【答案】①. Whenever he loses heart②. to help him cheer up
【解析】
【详解】根据“每当他灰心时”可知用一般现在时。“每当……时”whenever；“他”he；“灰心”lose heart；“帮他振作起来”to help him cheer up，不定式作目的状语。故填Whenever he loses heart；to help him cheer up。
九、阅读表达
阅读下面的短文，并根据短文内容回答后面的问题。
Mr. Dawson was bad-tempered and everyone in town knew it. Kids knew not to go into his yard to pick an apple, because old Dawson, they said, would come after you with his gun.
One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was walking out with her friend Amy. They had to go by Dawson’s house, but as they got close, Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and advised them to cross over the street. Like most, she was afraid of the man.
Amy said not to worry. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown (皱眉), but when he saw it was Amy, he gave a broad smile.
Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight with her, they were going to listen to music and play games. Dawson told them that sounded fun, and gave them each an apple.
Later, Janet asked Amy, “Everyone says he isn’t generous. Actually he’s the meanest man in town. How come he was so nice to us?"
Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house, he wasn’t very friendly, but she pretended (假装) he was wearing an invisible smile and so she always smiled. It took a while, but one day he half-smiled back.
After a while, he started smiling real smiles and then talked to her. She said he always offers her an apple now, and is always very kind.
“An invisible smile?” questioned Janet.
“Yes,” answered Amy, “My grandma told me that if I pretended I wasn’t afraid and pretended he was smiling an invisible smile at me and I smiled back at him, sooner or later he would really smile.”
