【详解】考查倒装。句意:直到我走得更近,我才看到树下躺着一个男孩,显然他睡得很熟。第一空,Not until位于句首时,其后要进行部分倒装,第二空,地点状语位于句首,其后要进行完全倒装,故D项正确。

【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意:这些肉经过化学处理,以延长保质期。A. expand扩大,扩展;B. enlarge扩大,增大;C. extend延长;D. broaden拓宽。根据句意可知,此处意为“延长”,表达为extend。故选C。

【详解】考查连词辨析。句意:他们认为是高税收和低收入导致了底层工人悲惨的生活。根据句子结构可知,第一空为宾语从句,从句中不缺少成分,用that或者省略,第二空为强调句,其句型为:It is/was+被强调部分+that从句。因此,第二空用that。故选A。

A. being given B. having given
C. to be given D. having been given
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:演讲结束后,接下来是现场提问时间。句中逻辑主语lecture与动词give是被动关系,故需要用被动语态。being given指正在进行的演讲;to be given将要发表的演讲。having been given则强调时间先后,指的是此动作发生在谓语动词follow的动作之前。故D正确。
8. I had as much fun sailing the seas as I now do _with students.

C. to work D. worked
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查动名词。句意:我在海上航行和现在和学生一起工作一样快乐。分析句子可知,have fun doing sth.做某事很开心,as I now do working with students补充完整为as I now have fun working with students。故选A。
9. The homework is not as heavy as ________he used to get. All________ he needs to do is to improve English.
A. what, that B. that, which C. which, that D. what, which
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查比较状语从句和定语从句。句意:家庭作业没有他以前的那么繁重了。他所要做的就是要提高英语。在as引导的比较状语中缺少get的宾语,故用what。第二空后he needs to do是定语从句,当先行词是all时且指物时,关系词用that,不能用which。故选A。

A. acquisition B. identification C. certificate D. qualification
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意:Angela和Ajani在网上见过几次面后就去领取结婚证,这是不明智的。A. acquisition习得;B. identification识别;C. certificate证明;D. qualification资格。结合句意和句中“which is not sensible”可推知,Angela和Ajani在网上见过几次面后就结婚领证,是不明智的行为。名词词组marriage certificate意为“结婚证书”,符合句意。故选C项。
二. 阅读理解【满分50】
A
Conventional wisdom may tell you that a master’s degree from Harvard Business School in the US is the key to a Fortune 500 job, while the same degree from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, the US, means a possible career on Wall Street.
It seems that the graduate school you go to somewhat decides your future. A recent New York Times article reveals the correlation between MBA (Master of Business Administration) graduates at certain US schools and career prospects.
To work at Amazon
Ross School of Business (University of Michigan)
Amazon regularly hires more MBAs from top 10 business schools than big Wall Street firms.And a large chunk of American employees are from Ross. Graduate Peter Faricy, vice president of Amazon Marketplace, says the reason behind this is that Ross’ curriculum-related offerings, a problem-solving course for instance, are particularly well suited to Amazon.
To work at McKinsey&Company
Kellogg School of Management (Northwestern University)
For an MBA, landing a job at McKinsey is like trying to get into a competitive business school over again. However, Kellogg graduates perform well in the fiercest competition. The school’s MBAs are in demand at elite consulting firms, which hired 35 percent of Kellogg graduates last year, a higher percentage than at Harvard (23 percent) and Stanford (16 percent).
To work at Apple
Fuqua School of Business (Duke University)
Silicon Valley hasn’t always welcomed MBAs. However, two of Apple’s top 10 executives come from Fuqua. Apple has hired 32 Fuqua graduates over the past five years, and provided 42 internships for Duke students.
To start your own company
Harvard Business School
The extensive resources Harvard has devoted to its entrepreneurial offerings in recent years are starting to show real results. By many accounts, it has surpassed Stanford as the top entrepreneurial hot-bed in the US.
11. Which university offers students a course on various approaches to difficulties at work?
A. Harvard Business School B. Ross School of Business
C. Fuqua School of Business D. Kellogg School of Management
12. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. Consulting companies favor MBA students from Kellogg.
B. To work at Apple, MBA graduates have an advantage.
C. Stanford produces the greatest number of business leaders.
D. Wall Street employs more MBAs from top 10 than Amazon.
13. If you want to work in the area of hi-tech electronic products, you may choose to study in_______.
A. Ross School of Business B. Harvard Business School
C. Kellogg School of Management D. Fuqua School of Business
【答案】11. B 12. A 13. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。《纽约时报》最近的一篇文章揭示了某些美国学校的MBA(工商管理硕士)毕业生与职业前景之间的相关性。文章对此进行了介绍。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Graduate Peter Faricy, vice president of Amazon Marketplace, says the reason behind this is that Ross’ curriculum-related offerings, a problem-solving course for instance, are particularly well suited to Amazon.(毕业生、亚马逊市场副总裁彼得·法里西表示,这背后的原因是,罗斯商学院提供的与课程相关的内容,比如解决问题的课程,特别适合亚马逊。)”可知,罗斯商学院为学生开设了一门关于解决工作困难的各种方法的课程。故选B。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“The school’s MBAs are in demand at elite consulting firms, which hired 35 percent of Kellogg graduates last year, a higher percentage than at Harvard (23 percent) and Stanford (16 percent).(精英咨询公司对凯洛格商学院的MBA毕业生很有需求。去年,凯洛格商学院雇佣了35%的毕业生,这一比例高于哈佛(23%)和斯坦福(16%)。)”可知,咨询公司青睐凯洛格商学院的MBA学生。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Silicon Valley hasn’t always welcomed MBAs. However, two of Apple’s top 10 executives come from Fuqua. Apple has hired 32 Fuqua graduates over the past five years, and provided 42 internships for Duke students.(硅谷并不总是欢迎MBA。然而,苹果前10名高管中有两人来自福库。过去5年,苹果聘用了32名福库商学院的毕业生,并为杜克大学的学生提供了42个实习机会。)”可知,如果你想在高科技电子产品领域工作,你可以选择在福库商学院学习。故选D。
B.
Everyone gathered around and Paddy read out loud, slowly, his tone growing sadder and sadder. The little headline said: BOXER RECEIVES LIFF SENTENCE.
Frank Cleary, aged 26, professional boxer, was today found guilty of the murder of Albert Gumming, aged 32, laborer, last July. The jury (陪审团) reached its decision after only ten minutes, recommending the most severe punishment to the court. It was, said the Judge, a simple case. Gumming and Cleary had quarreled violently at the Harbour Hotel on July 23rd and police saw Cleary kicking at the head of the unconscious Gumming. When arrested, Cleary was drunk but clear-thinking.
Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, “Just don’t tell my mother.”
“It happened over three years ago,” Paddy said helplessly. No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do. “Just don’t tell my mother,” said Fee numbly(麻木地). “And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor Frank!”
Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said. “Fee, pack your things. We’ll go to see him.”
She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. “I can’t go,” she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there. “It would kill him to see me. I know him so well — his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants. We’ve got to help him keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us?”
Paddy was still weeping, not for Frank, but for the life which had gone from Fee’s face, for the dying in her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself. He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children. Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away. But Paddy’s love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.
So he said, “Well, Fee, we won’t go. But we must make sure he is taken care of. How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?”
There was no excitement in the eyes, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. “Yes, Paddy, do that. Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out. Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don’t know.”
14. Paddy cried because he thought ___________.
A. Frank did kill someone and deserved the punishment
B. Frank should have told Fee what had happened
C. what had happened to Frank was killing Fee
D. Frank had always been a man of bad moral character
15. The underlined sentence “She half-rose before sinking back…”in Paragraph 6 shows that___________.
A. Fee was so heart-broken that she could hardly stand up
B. Fee didn’t want to upset Paddy by visiting Frank
C. Fee couldn’t leave her family to go to see Frank
D. Fee struggled between wanting to see Frank and respecting his wish
16. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The jury and the judge agreed on the Boxer’s Sentence of Life Imprisonment.
B. The police found Gumming unconscious, heavily struck by Frank.
C. The family didn’t find out what had happened to Frank until 3 years later.
D. Frank didn’t want his family to know the sentence to him, most probably out of his pride.
17. What is Frank and Paddy’s probable relationship with Fee?
A. Frank is Fee’s son and Paddy is Fee’s brother.
B. Frank is Fee’s son and Paddy is Fee’s husband.
C. Frank is Fee’s brother and Paddy is Fee’s lover.
D. Frank is Fee’s lover and Paddy is Fee’s husband.
【答案】14. C 15. D 16. D 17. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章节选自小说《荆棘鸟》,描写了母亲Fee在得知儿子Frank因犯谋杀罪被判刑后的挣扎与纠结,想去看儿子,但是又想尊重儿子的愿望,维护儿子的自尊。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Paddy was still weeping, not for Frank, but for the life which had gone from Fee’s face, for the dying in her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself. He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children. Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away. But Paddy’s love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.(Paddy还在哭泣,不是为了Frank,而是为了Fee脸上消失的生命,为了她眼中垂死的神情。Frank总是带来痛苦和不幸,总是站在Fee和他自己之间。他是她从他和他的孩子们的心里消失的原因。每一次它看起来像是要花钱才能得到幸福的时候,Frank就把它拿走。但Paddy对她的爱就像她对Frank的爱一样深,无法消除。)”可知,Paddy哭是因为他认为发生在Frank身上的事让Fee非常痛苦、难过。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段划线句的下文“‘I can’t go,’ she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there. ‘It would kill him to see me. I know him so well — his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants. We’ve got to help him keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us?’(‘我不能去,’她说,没有一丝痛苦,但却让每个人都觉得痛苦就在那里。‘他要是看见我,会死的。我很了解他,他的骄傲,他的野心。让他独自承受耻辱吧,这是他想要的。我们得帮他保守秘密。他看见我们有什么好处呢?’)”可知,Fee想去见Frank,但是又想尊重Frank的愿望,维护他的骄傲与自尊,由此可知,划线句“She half-rose before sinking back(撑起半身又坐下了)”显示了Fee在想要见Frank和尊重他的意愿之间的挣扎与纠结。故选D。
【16题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, ‘Just don’t tell my mother.’(Cleary被判处终身监禁并服苦役。当被问及他是否有什么要说的时候,Cleary回答说:‘只要别告诉我妈妈就行了。’)”以及第六段中的“ ‘I can’t go,’ she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there. ‘It would kill him to see me. I know him so well — his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, it’s what he wants. We’ve got to help him keep his secret. What good will it do him to see us?’(‘我不能去,’她说道,没有一丝痛苦,但却让每个人都觉得痛苦就在那里。‘他要是看见我,会死的。我很了解他,他的骄傲,他的野心。让他独自承受耻辱吧,这是他想要的。我们得帮他保守秘密。他看见我们有什么好处呢?’)”可知,Frank不想让他的家人知道对他的判决,很可能是出于他的自尊心。故选D。
17题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Cleary was sentenced to life imprisonment with hard labour. Asked if he had anything to say, Cleary answered, ‘Just don’t tell my mother.’(Cleary被判处终身监禁并服苦役。当被问及他是否有什么要说的时候,Cleary回答说:‘只要别告诉我妈妈就行了。’)”以及第四段“‘It happened over three years ago,’ Paddy said helplessly. No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do. ‘Just don’t tell my mother,’ said Fee numbly(麻木地). ‘And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor Frank!’(‘这是三年前的事了,’Paddy无助地说。没有人回答他,也没有人动,因为谁也不知道该怎么办。‘别告诉我妈妈就行了,’Fee麻木地说。‘可是没有人这样做!哦,上帝!我可怜的、可怜的Frank!’)”可知,Fee是Frank的妈妈;再根据倒数第三段中的“But Paddy’s love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.(但是Paddy对她的爱和她对Frank的爱一样深,一样无法抹去。)”可推知,Paddy是Fee的丈夫。故选B。
C.
After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together.
Together, these deep human urges (驱策力) count for much more that ambition. Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground. Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, “Why? Why? Why?”
Fortunately, curiosity and discontent don’t have to be learned. We are born with them and need only recapture them.
“The great man,” said Mencius (孟子), “is he who does not lose his child’s heart.” Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd. And the crowd desires restful average. It encourages us to occupy our own little corner, to avoid foolish leaps into the dark, to be satisfied.
Most of us meet new people, and new ideas, with hesitation. But once having met and liked them, we think how terrible it would have been, had we missed the chance. We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake.
How should you start? Modestly, so as not to become discouraged. I think of one friend who couldn’t arrange flowers to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. How she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement.
One way to begin is to answer your own excuses. You haven’t any special ability? Most people don’t; there are only a few geniuses. You haven’t any time? That’s good, because it’s always the people with no time who get things done. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom’s Cabin while cooking. You’re too old? Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78.
However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, for you’ll never be more alive than you are at this moment.
18. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________.
A. propose a definition B. make a comparison
C. reach a conclusion D. present an argument
19. What does the example of Galileo tell us?
A. Trial and error leads to the finding of truth. B. Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious.
C. Creativity results from challenging authority. D. Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore.
20. What can you do to recapture curiosity and discontent?
A. Observe the unknown around you. B. Develop a questioning mind.
C. Lead a life of adventure. D. Follow the fashion.
21. What can we learn from Paragraphs 6 and 7?
A. Gaining success helps you become an expert.
B. The genius tends to get things done creatively.
C. Lack of talent and time is no reason for taking no action.
D. You should remain modest when approaching perfection.
【答案】18. D 19. D 20. B 21. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了获得成就的两个关键因素——好奇心和不满足,以及如何获得这两种品质的方法。
【18题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent. I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together.(经过多年对人性的观察,我断定有两种品质决定了成就巨大的人和表现平平的人之间的区别好奇和不满。我从来没有见过一个杰出的人缺乏这两样。我从来没见过一个普通的男人同时拥有这两种能力。这两者属于一起)”可推知,作者写第一段的目的是提出一个论点。故选D。
【19题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, “Why? Why? Why?”(像伽利略一样,历史上所有的伟人都感到好奇,并不满地问:“为什么?为什么?为什么?”)”可推知,伽利略的例子告诉我们,伟大来自于持久的探索欲望。故选D。
【20题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, “Why? Why? Why?”(像伽利略一样,历史上所有的伟人都感到好奇,并不满地问:“为什么?为什么?为什么?”)”以及第四段中““The great man,” said Mencius (孟子), “is he who does not lose his child’s heart.” Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd.(孟子认为“不失去孩子的心,就是伟大的人。”然而,我们大多数人确实失去了它。我们不再问问题。我们不再挑战习俗。我们只是随大流)”可知,你可以通过培养了一个善于提问的头脑,来重新获得好奇心和不满。故选B。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“She was curious about how the experts did it. How she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement.(我想起了我的一位朋友,她连鲜花的摆放都不能满足自己。她很想知道专家们是怎么做的。她是花卉插花方面的专家之一)”以及第七段中“Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom’s Cabin while cooking. You’re too old? Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78.( Harriet Stowe是六个孩子的母亲,她在做饭时写了《汤姆叔叔的小屋》的部分内容。你太老了吗?记得Thomas Costain 57岁时发表了他的第一部小说,Moses奶奶在78岁时第一次展示了她的照片)”可推知,这两段想告诉我们“缺乏天赋和时间不是不采取行动的理由”。故选C。
D.
First two hours, now three hours—this is how far in advance authorities are recommending people show up to catch a domestic flight, at least at some major U.S. airports with increasingly massive security lines.
Americans are willing to tolerate time-consuming security protocols in return for increased safety. The crash of Egypt Air Flight 804, which terrorists may have downed over the Mediterranean Sea, provides another tragic reminder of why. But demanding too much of air travelers or providing too little security in return undermines public support for the process. And it should: Wasted time is a drag on Americans' economic and private lives, not to mention making people angry.
Last year, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) found in a secret check that undercover investigators were able to sneak weapons — both fake and real — past airport security nearly every time they tried. Enhanced security measures since then, combined with a rise in airline travel due to the improving economy and low oil prices, have resulted in long waits at major airports such as Chicago's O'Hare International. It is not yet clear how much more effective airline security has become — but the lines are obvious.
Part of the issue is that the government did not anticipate the steep increase in airline travel so the TSA is now rushing to get new screeners on the line. Part of the issue is that airports have only so much room for screening lanes. Another factor may be that more people are trying to overpack their carry-on bags to avoid checked-baggage fees, though the airlines strongly dispute this.
There is one step the TSA could take that would not require remodeling airports or rushing to hire: Enroll more people in the PreCheck program. PreCheck is supposed to be a win-win for travelers and the TSA. Passengers who pass a background check are qualifies to use expedited (加速的) screening lanes. This allows the TSA to focus on travelers who are higher risk, saving time for everyone involved. TSA wants to enroll 25 million people in PreCheck.
It has not gotten anywhere close to that, and one big reason is sticker shock: Passengers must pays 85 every five years to process their background checks. Since the beginning, this price tag has been PreCheck's fatal flaw. Upcoming reforms might bring the price to a more reasonable level. But Congress should look into doing so directly, by helping to finance PreCheck enrollment or to cut costs in other ways.
The TSA cannot continue diverting resources into underused PreCheck lanes while most of the traveling public suffers in unnecessary lines. It is long past time to make the program work.
22. The crash of Egypt Air Flight 804 is mentioned to .
A. stress the urgency to strengthen security worldwide
B. highlight the necessity of upgrading major U.S. airports
C. explain American's tolerance of current security checks
D. emphasize the importance of privacy protection
23. Which of the following contributes to long waits at major airports?
A. Frequent unexpected secret checks.
B. New restrictions on carry-on bags.
C. The declining efficiency of the TSA.
D. An increase in the number of travellers.
24. One problem with the PreCheck program is .
A. a dramatic reduction of its scale
B. its wrongly-directed implementation
C. govemment’s reluctance to back it
D. an unreasonable price for enrollment
25. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Less Screening for More Safety
B. PreCheck-a Belated Solution
C. Getting Stuck in Security Line
D. Underused PreCheck Lanes
【答案】22. C 23. D 24. D 25. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章解释了美国人对当前安全检查的容忍度,为了安全,他们愿意容忍耗时的安全协议。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段中的“Americans are willing to tolerate time-consuming security protocols in return for increased safety. The crash of Egypt Air Flight 804, which terrorists may have downed over the Mediterranean Sea, provides another tragic reminder of why.”(美国人愿意容忍耗时的安全协议,以换取更高的安全性。恐怖分子在地中海上空击落的埃及航空804航班,再次悲剧性地提醒人们为什么要这样做),可知埃及航空公司804航班失事,提醒人们要为了安全性去容忍耗时的安全协议,因此推断埃及航空公司航班失事一事被提及是为了解释美国人对当前安全检查的容忍度。故选C项。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“Enhanced security measures since then, combined with a rise in airline travel due to the improving economy and low oil prices, have resulted in long waits at major airports such as Chicago's O'Hare International.”(自那以后,加强了安全措施,加上经济好转和油价低导致航空旅行增加,导致了芝加哥奥黑尔国际机场等主要机场的长时间等待),可知航空旅行增加,游客人数增加,才是导致主要机场长时间等待的原因。故选D项。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“Since the beginning, this price tag has been PreCheck's fatal flaw. Upcoming reforms might bring the price to a more reasonable level.”(从一开始,这个价格标签就是PreCheck的致命缺陷,即将到来的改革可能会使价格达到更合理的水平),可知不合理的登记价格是PreCheck的致命缺陷。故选D项。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。由第二段中的“Americans are willing to tolerate time-consuming security protocols in return for increased safety.(美国人愿意容忍耗时的安全协议,以换取更高的安全性)”,第三段中的“Enhanced security measures since then, combined with a rise in airline travel due to the improving economy and low oil prices, have resulted in long waits at major airports such as Chicago's O'Hare International.(自那以后,加强了安全措施,加上经济好转和油价低导致的航空旅行增加,导致芝加哥奥黑尔国际机场等主要机场的长时间等待)”,第四段中的“Part of the issue is that the government did not anticipate the steep increase in airline travel so the TSA is now rushing to get new screeners on the line.(部分问题是,政府没有预料到航空旅行的急剧增加,所以运输安全管理局现在正抓紧让新的安检人员上线。)”,以及第五段中的“There is one step the TSA could take that would not require remodeling airports or rushing to hire: Enroll more people in the PreCheck program.(美国运输安全管理局可以采取一个步骤,即不需要改造机场或匆忙招聘:让更多的人加入PreCheck计划。)”,可知美国人为了安全,愿意容忍耗时的安全协议,为了加强安全,机场等待时间变长,政府也正抓紧让新的安检人员上线,作者也提出让更多的人加入PreCheck计划减少安检等待时间,说明美国人对安全很看重,紧紧把握住安全线,C项“卡在安全线里”符合文意。故选C项。
Take back control
There are times in life when nothing seems to go to plan. The trip you were looking forward to is called off, your house sale falls through, and you haven't exercised in three weeks. All of these things have happened to me and, on occasion, at the same time.____26____ Either that, or you end up giving up and feeling like your life is always going to be full of problems.
So, how do you keep your calm in testing times, but also hold it together for long enough to pull yourself out? Contrary to what you may think, I'm a believer in giving in to how you're feeling, at least for a moment.____27____
But how do you turn things around? The first thing I do is write everything down. I draw a line down the middle of a page. On the left, I write down all the things that are stressing me out. On the right, I write down everything that needs to be done to fix these problems. Then, I look at the list and I cross out all the points over which I have no control.____28____ Next, I write down the possible actions against each point on the list.

【分析】这是一篇说明。作者就当我们生活中出现事情并不如计划时的情况给出一些建议。
【26题详解】
根据上文“There are times in life when nothing seems to go to plan. The trip you were looking forward to is called off, your house sale falls through, and you haven't exercised in three weeks. All of these things have happened to me and, on occasion, at the same time. (生活中总有一些时候,事情似乎无法按计划进行。你期待已久的旅行取消了,你的房子卖不出去了,你已经三个星期没有锻炼了。所有这些事情都发生在我身上,有时,同时发生)”及常识可知,E. The truth is, it's hard not to lose control of yourself in these moments.(事实是,在这些时刻你很难不失去控制)能够衔接上文,其中“in these moments”和前面的“there are times”对应。故选E。
【27题详解】
根据上文“Contrary to what you may think, I'm a believer in giving in to how you're feeling, at least for a moment.(与你所想的相反,我相信你会屈服于自己的感觉,至少在那一刻)”可知,我们会屈服于自己感受。由此可知,F. Better to fall into it, accept the situation for what it is, then get back on your feet and go again.(更好地陷入困境,接受现状,然后重新站起来,继续前行)符合语境,其中“accept the situation”与前文的“giving in to how you're feeling”相对应。故选F。
【28题详解】
根据上文“Then, I look at the list and I cross out all the points over which I have no control. (然后,我看着这个列表,划掉所有我无法控制的点)”及下文“Next, I write down the possible actions against each point on the list.(接下来,我写下针对列表上每个点可能采取的行动)”可知,此处指删除不能做的,做自己能做的。由此可知,A. I focus on the things that I can do something about.(我只关注我能做的事情)符合此处语境,其中“focus on the things that I can do something about”和前文“cross out all the points over which I have no control”对应。故选A。

根据上文“I force myself into taking action by picking up the phone and asking someone for help(我强迫自己采取行动,拿起电话并向人们求助)”及下文“After all, a problem shared is a problem halved.(毕竟,分享一个问题就是问题的一半)”可知,打电话并向人们求助能够让自己的问题让他人分担一部分,解决起来应该就快一些了。由此可知,D. I always find that this simple act makes me fix things quicker.(我总是发现这个简单的动作能让我把事情处理得更快)符合此处语境。故选D。
【30题详解】
根据上文“In my experience, the easiest way to keep calm is to regain control of your situation.(以我经验,最方便的方式是保持冷静来重新控制你的情况) ”可知,此处讲述了保持冷静重要性。由此可知,G. No matter how bad things are, keeping your calm will always help you find a better outcome.(不管事情有多糟糕,保持冷静总是会帮助你找到更好的结果)符合此处语境,其中“keep calm”和G选项中“keeping your calm”相对应。故选G。

【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述中国动漫《雄狮少年》自上映就收到了热烈好评。
【46题详解】
考查名词。句意:虽然自从12月17日开播以来票房收入略有增长,中国动漫《雄狮少年》一直都是头条并且收获了广泛的好评。根据句子结构和意思可知,这里考查名词作动词receive的宾语,是抽象名词,所以用单数形式。故填applause。
【47题详解】

【49题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:见第3题详解。此处为动词不定式做目的状语。故填to pursue。
【50题详解】
考查冠词。句意:中国影评人协会会长饶曙光在新华社的采访中说到,这部接地气的电影也许标志着中国动漫制作的方向的改变,要从使得奇迹在日常生活中发生而努力拼搏的普通人身上抓取鼓舞人心的东西,而不是虚构的故事中的神。根据句子结构和意思可知,这里考查定冠词表示特指,修饰后面的名词“down-to-earth” film,指《雄狮少年》这部电影,上文已经提过,所以是特指。故填the。
【51题详解】
考查名词。句意:见第5题详解。根据句子结构和意思可知,这里考查可数名词复数做介词in的宾语,表示泛指。故填stories。
【52题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:中央电视台的一篇评论说,这部电影已经把舞狮文化融入到了青少年们追求梦想的故事里,这反映出了中国文化的魅力,并且呈现出来国家精神。根据句子结构和意思可知,这里考查非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面整个主句的内容,在从句中做主语。故填which。
【53题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:到目前为止,关于《雄狮少年》为中国动画电影注入新的活力的重要性的讨论在社交媒体平台上还是很热烈。根据句子结构和意思可知,这里有时间状语So far,所以谓语可以用现在完成时或者现在完成进行时;主语是discussion,所以助动词要用单数形式has。故填has been running/has run。
【54题详解】
考查连词。句意:不管它是否是一个巨大的商业成功,这部电影都代表了探索以现实为主题的中国动画电影制作的一次伟大尝试。根据句子结构和意思可知,这里考查让步状语从句的连词,表示“无论”的意思。故填Whether。

【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:卵巢癌是女性常患的第六大癌症。动词contract意为“感染(疾病);得(病)”符合句意;句子结构分析可知,“____ by women”在句中作后置定语,修饰名词短语the sixth most common cancer,cancer与动词contract之间是被动关系,设空处填contract的过去分词形式。故填contracted。

【详解】考查动词短语。结合句意表示“被归为”可知,应用动词短语be categorized as,根据后文for a long time in 1990可知,为一般过去时,主语为disease,谓语用单数。故填was categorized as。

七. 【题目】
72. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
A little boy selling magazines for school walked up to a house that people rarely visited. The house was very old and shabby and the owner hardly ever came out. When he did come out, he would not say hello to his neighbors or passers-by but simply just glare at them.
The boy knocked on the door and waited, sweating from fear of the old man. The boy’s parents told him to stay away from the house, and a lot of the other neighborhood children were told the same thing from their parents.
As he was ready to walk away, the door slowly opened. “What do you want?” the old man said impatiently. The little boy was very afraid but he had a quota(份额) to meet for school with selling the magazines. So he got up the courage and said, “Uh, sir, I am selling these magazines and uh, I was wondering if you would like to buy one from me.”
The old man just stared at the boy without a word. The boy could see inside the old man’s house and saw that he had dog figurines(小雕像) on the fireplace mantle. “Do you collect dogs?” The little boy asked. “Yes, I have many collections in my house. They are my family here and they are all I have.” The boy then felt sorry for the man, as it seemed that he was a very lonely soul.
“Well, I do have a magazine here for collectors. It is perfect for you. I also have one about dogs since you like dogs so much.” The old man was ready to close the door on the boy and said, “No, boy. I don’t need any magazines of any kind, now goodbye.”
The little boy was sad that he was not going to make his quota with the sale. He was also sad for the old man being so alone in the house that he owned. The boy went home and then had an idea. He had a little dog figurine that he got some years ago from an aunt. The figurine did not mean nearly as much to him since he had a real live dog and a large family.

The little boy headed back down to the old man’s house.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
From that day on something changed inside the old man.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The boy headed back down to the old man’s house. He knocked on the door again and this time the old man came right to the door. “Boy, I thought I told you no magazines!” The old man stared at him angrily. “I know that, sir. I just wanted to bring you a gift.” The little boy handed him the dog figurine. Looking at the boy, the old man was too surprised to say anything and simply smiled in tears, as no one had ever shown him so much kindness.
From that day on something changed inside the old man. He started coming out of the house and talking to his neighbors. Soon, he and the boy became friends. The boy visited the old man frequently and brought his real live dog to his house once in a while. He even invited the old man to join his family for Christmas dinner. With the boy’s company, the old man was no longer alonely soul.

【分析】本篇考察的作文类型是读后续写。
【详解】前文主要讲的是男孩去老人家里推销杂志,发现老人家里有很多小狗的雕像,于是和老人交谈中了解到老人喜欢收集狗,但是拒绝买男孩的杂志。于是男孩第二天准备将一个几年前从一个阿姨那里得到的小狗雕像拿去送给老人。在给的第一段开头中,“The little boy headed back down to the old man’s house.”“headed back”意思是“朝……走去”,第一段后文围绕着老人的反应来展开;第二段开头From that day on something changed inside the old man.中something changed是关键词,后文主要围绕着老人的变化而展开。
【高分句型一】
After he knocked on the door again, the old man came right to the door. 他又敲了敲门,这次老人正好来到门口。运用after引导时间状语从句。
【高分句型二】
The boy visited the old man so frequently that he even invited the old man to join his family for Christmas dinner. 这个男孩经常去看望老人,他甚至邀请老人和他的家人一起吃圣诞晚餐。运用so…that…引导结果状语从句。
