参考答案：
语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道,主要介绍了致力于农村教育和扶贫的先进个人——张桂梅。
1.C 推理判断题。根据第一段第三句“Netizens are deeply tuched rural areas.”可知,这张照片上的张桂梅与现在的张桂梅形成鲜明的对比,而张桂梅之所以会变成这样,是因为她一生致力于推动农村地区的教育和扶贫,所以网民被她的奉献精神感动。故选C“因为这让他们想起了一个令人钦佩的人物”。
2.B 词义猜测题。画线短语所在句的前一句讲到,尽管张桂梅有严重的健康问题,但她仍然与学生一起上了12年的早课。后一句讲到,她的薪水和奖金大部分都花在了学生身上。根据前后文内容可推测,这里也是讲张桂梅的付出与奉献,由此可推断画线短语表示“累计”,强调累积的数量,故选B“积聚,积累”。
3.A 推理判断题。文章主要讲述了张桂梅致力于农村教育和扶贫的先进事迹。由此可推知本文最有可能来自新闻报道。故选A。

Gerge Shull was brn in 1874 n a farm in Clark Cunty, Ohi, and his knwledge f plants and hybrids came at an early age. Being needed n the farm, Shull received his early frmal educatin ff and n.

In 1901, he graduated frm Antich and went t the University f Chicag t d graduate wrk. With his knwledge f btany and experience with farming practices, Shull passed the civil service exam, and tk up a psitin as a btanical assistant at the U.S. Natinal Herbarium. He als wrked at the U.S. Bureau f Plant Industry as a btanical expert examining as well as evaluating the plants and animals f the Chesapeake Bay and the Currituck Sund.

The pure lines were less healthy and prductive, but when he crssed the pure lines, apparently the hybrid yields were better than any f the parents r thse pllinated in the pen fields. As a cnsequence, he immediately recgnized the ptential fr using this strategy and device t imprve crp yields.
In 1915, Shull accepted a prfessrship at Princetn University. With his encuragement, Princetn University Press began the publicatin f a new jurnal, Genetics. Shull was the managing editr fr ten years. Genetics is still ne f the tp internatinal science jurnals.

参考答案：
语篇解读：这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了著名植物学家Gerge Shull的学习和工作经历以及他的重要成就。
4.D 词义猜测题。根据第一段第二句中的“Being needed n the farm”可知,Gerge Shull小时候需要干农活,所以无法正常接受正规教育。所以ff and n意为“断断续续地,间歇性地”,与D项“不定期地”意思最为接近。故选D。
5.C 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“d graduate wrk” “tk up a psitin as a btanical assistant” “He als wrked at...”“in 1904 he was appinted t be in charge f plant wrk”等信息可知,第二段主要是在讲述Gerge Shull的工作经历。故选C。
6.D 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句和第四句“The pure lines were less healthy and imprve crp yields.”可知,杂交品种能够提高作物产量,所以Shull的玉米育种方法的特殊之处在于专注于杂交纯系。故选D。
7.B 推理判断题。
根据以上关键信息可知,文章以时间顺序讲述了著名植物学家Gerge Shull的人生经历。故选B。
C

Hw’s this fr a cincidence (巧合)? Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincln were brn in the same year, n the same day: Feb. 12, 1809. Althugh peple hardly think f them tgether, yet we want t say that they belng tgether. It’s nt just because they were bth great men, and nt because they happen t live at the same time. Rather, it’s because the scientist and the plitician each started a revlutin that changed the wrld.
They were bth revlutinaries in the sense that bth men changed the realities when they were brn. They seem and sund mdern t us, because the wrld they left behind them is mre r less the ne we still live in. S, cnsidering the jint greatness f their cntributins and the cincidence f their birthdays ---- it is hard t wnder: wh was the greatest man? It’s an apples and ranges--- r Superman vs. Santa---cmparisn. But if yu limit the questin t influence, very quickly the balance tips in Lincln’s favr.
As great as his bk n evlutin is, it des n harm t remember that Darwin hurried t publish The Origin f Species because he thught he was abut t be scped (抢先) by his fellw naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace. Lincln, hwever, is unique. True, his electin as the president did cause the recessin (衰退) and the war, but that war seems certain t happen---nt a questin f if but when. Certainly we knw what happened after he was murdered: Recnstructin was rganized and then abandned, leaving the issue f racial (种族的) equality unslved fr anther century.
Surely we shuld nt deny Darwin’s accmplishment. But their same birthdays gave us a great pprtunity t bserve these men f their time.
12．Why des the authr say Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincln belng tgether?
A．They were brn n the same day.
B．They lived in the same perid f time.
C．They started revlutins changing the wrld.
D．They were bth great men in the histry.
13．What des the authr mean by “an apples and ranges---- r Superman vs. Santa --cmparisn” ?
A．It is hard t tell which ne is greater as they are bth utstanding.
B．The cmparisn between Darwin and Lincln is easy and bvius.
C．It is difficult t cmpare them as they are as famus as Superman and Santa.
D．There is n pint cmparing them because they were brn n the same day.
14．Lincln’s cntributin t the wrld can be best described as__________
A．narrw.B．aggressive.
C．independent.D．grund-breaking.
15．What can we learn frm the passage?
A．Lincln’s success in electin caused recnstructin.
B．Lincln had tried t slve the racial prblem.
C．Darwin was unique cmpared with Lincln.
D．Darwin’s thery is similar t Lincln’s belief.

参考答案：
A 根据上下文，“我”突然感到（felt）一只手放在肩上。其他选项（fix 固定，watch 观看，hear 听到）与“手放肩上”这一触觉感知不符。
D 抬头去看（see）是谁。see 强调“看见”的结果，符合语境。watch 强调观看过程，interview 采访，discver 发现，均不贴合。
C 爷爷说“这不容易（easy），是吧？” 对应前文“我”因离家而流泪，difficult 和 hard 也表困难，但句中已有否定词 isn’t，若用 difficult 或 hard 则构成双重否定，意为“不难”，与语境矛盾。cmfrtable 舒适的，不合逻辑。
B 爷爷轻轻地把我的手握在他手里（taking my hand in his）。take ne’s hand 是固定搭配，意为“握住某人的手”。make 制作，lead 带领，carry 携带，均不匹配。
A 引导定语从句，修饰 the frnt yard，表示地点，用 where。
B “不知道如何（hw）说”。what 需接名词性成分，wh 谁，whether 是否，均不符合“不知如何表达”的语境。
D 根据后文爷爷说的“不仅仅是玫瑰美丽”，可知“我”看到了柔软且美丽（beautiful）的东西。red 红色，tasty 美味的，funny 有趣的，均不如下文的 beautiful 贴切。
A 爷爷把我拉近（clse）。pull sb. clse 是固定短语，意为“把某人拉近”。hard 努力，far 远，arund 周围，均不适用。
B 爷爷在儿子出生时“种下”（planted）这些玫瑰。bught 买，treated 对待，discvered 发现，均不如 planted 符合栽种玫瑰的语境。
C 这是我对上帝说“谢谢”的一种方式（way）。way 表示“方式，方法”。chice 选择，methd 方法（更正式，常指系统的方法），slutin 解决方案，均不如 way 口语化和贴切。
D 我过去常常（used）看他为母亲摘玫瑰。used t d 表示“过去常常做某事”。preferred 更喜欢，wanted 想要，prmised 承诺，均不能准确表达过去的习惯。
C 永远不要向悲伤和孤独屈服（give in）。give in t 是固定搭配，意为“屈服于”。give up 放弃，give ff 发出，give away 赠送，均不与 t 构成此意。
B 记住快乐和幸福（happiness）。与 jy 并列，意义最接近。wrd 话语，sight 景象，memry 记忆，均不如 happiness 贴合。
A 爷爷病重（ill）。weak 虚弱，ld 年老，serius 严重，但“became very ill”是常见表达，指“病得很重”。
C 当轮到我（my turn）的时候。When it cmes t ne’s turn 是固定表达，意为“当轮到某人时”。pleasure 乐趣，duty 责任，wish 愿望，均不符合语境。
D 我轻轻地（gently）握住他的手，正如他曾温柔地握住我的手一样。与上文的 gently 呼应。happily 快乐地，sadly 悲伤地，carefully 仔细地，均不如 gently 贴合情感氛围。
D 我低声说（whispered），与下文爷爷缓慢睁眼回应形成柔和、温情的场景。laughed 大笑，shuted 大喊，added 补充，均不符合此刻安静、庄重的氛围。
C 随着一丝微笑（smile），他去世了。sign 标志，sigh 叹息，wave 挥手。smile 最能体现爷爷安详、无悔的离去，与主题“拒绝悲伤”呼应。
B 我明白了爷爷所说的（meant）“永不说再见”的含义。mean abut 意为“关于…的意思”。thught 思考，wrried 担心，cared 关心，均不如 meant 准确。
40. A 此处需要填入一个名词，与上文爷爷的教导“Never give in t the sadness and the lneliness”形成直接呼应和强调。文章结尾点明主题，“我”在那一刻完全理解了爷爷关于永不道别、永不向悲伤（sadness）屈服的真谛。故A为最佳答案。
四、语法填空

参考答案：
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了中国现代建筑学家、作家林徽因的主要求学经历和她取得的重大成就。
41.t hnur 考查动词不定式。句意:中国建筑学家兼作家林徽因被追授宾夕法尼亚大学斯图尔特·韦茨曼设计学院的建筑学学士学位以表彰她作为中国现代建筑先驱的杰出贡献。该句为简单句,was awarded 为谓语,所以设空处应填非谓语动词,根据句意可知设空处表目的,故填t hnur。
42.Cmmenting 考查现在分词。said为主句谓语,所以设空处应填非谓语动词。Fritz Steiner和cmment在逻辑上为主动关系,所以用现在分词作状语。设空处位于句首,首字母应该大写,故填Cmmenting。
43.rejected 考查过去分词。逗号后面的had t study为主句谓语,设空处位于with复合结构中,处于宾补的位置,应填非谓语动词。动词reject和宾语之间为被动关系,需用过去分词作宾补。故填rejected。句意:1924年,林徽因向宾夕法尼亚大学建筑系提交的入学申请被拒绝了,她不得不在唯一接受女学生的系——美术学院学习。
44.that 考查定语从句。accepted female students中缺少主语,且主语为空前的department, 故设空处引导定语从句, 先行词是department且被the nly修饰,所以只能用that引导定语从句。
45.wrked 考查动词时态。句意:除了完成美术课程和大部分必修建筑课程外,林徽因还担任建筑设计助教,在学术上的表现优于大多数男性同龄人。这里描述的是过去的事情,故用一般过去时,故填wrked。
46.academically 考查副词。设空处作状语,表示“在学术上”,应用副词。故填academically。
47.despite 考查介词。句意:回到中国后,作为中国现代第一位女建筑师,尽管有战争和疾病的困扰,林徽因仍然在建筑历史、设计和教育方面取得了巨大的成功。根据句意可知,设空处前后为让步关系,且后面为名词短语,所以介词despite“尽管,虽然”符合语境。
48.equality 考查名词。gender equality意为“性别平等”,故填名词equality。句意:随着海外正在对性别平等进行历史性修正,林徽因的传奇故事现在已经为一代代年轻人所熟知。
49.generatins 考查名词复数。generatin表示“一代”时是可数名词,且这里表示“一代代年轻人”,应用其复数形式。故填generatins。
50.but 考查连词。nt (als)...意为“不仅……,而且……”。故填but五、读后续写
