I needed to get some money so, after Christmas, I took a job in the clothes department at Graham’s for the first fortnight of the January sale. I can’t say that I enjoyed it, but it was an experience I’ll never forget. I could never understand why there were so many things in the sales; where did they all come from? Now I know the secret! Firstly, there is the special winter stock and the stock that people buy all the year round; some of these things are slightly reduced. Secondly, there are the summer clothes they couldn’t sell last year; these are heavily reduced to clear them. Thirdly, there are cheap clothes bought in specially for the sales; these are put out at high prices ten days before the sale begins and then are reduced by 60% in the sale. Clever! Lastly, they buy in “seconds” (clothes not in perfect condition) for the sale and they are sold very cheaply.
When I arrived half an hour before opening on the first day of the sale, there was already a queue around three sides of the building. This made me very nervous. When the big moment arrived to open the doors, the security guards, looking less confident than usual, came up to them, keys in hand. The moment they had unlocked the doors, they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowd charged in. I couldn’t believe my eyes; this wasn’t shopping, it was a battlefield! One poor lady couldn’t keep her feet and was knocked over by people pushing from behind. Clothes were flying in all directions as people searched for the sizes, colors and styles they wanted. Quarrels broke out. Mothers were using their small children to crawl(爬行) through people’s legs and get hold of things they couldn’t get near themselves.
Within minutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose, each wanting to be the first served. Where had the famous English Queue gone? The whole day continued like that, but I kept my temper! I was taking money hand over fist and began to realize why, twice a year, Graham’s were happy to turn their expensive store into a battlefield like this. In the sale fever, people were spending money like water without thinking whether they needed what they were buying. As long as it was a bargain it was OK. You won’t believe this but as soon as I got home I crashed out for four hours. Then I had dinner and went back to bed, fearing the sound of the alarm which would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale.
4. What kind of clothes is likely to be sold 5% cheaper?
A. Last summer’s clothes. B. Clothes not in perfect condition.
C. Clothes bought in specially for the sales. D. Clothes for winter.
5. In the author’s opinion, why were Graham’s happy to make their expensive store into “Battlefield”?
A. There were too many clothes and they wanted to clear them in the sales.
B. They were eager to show that they were clever at doing business.
C. They could take the chance to raise the prices of all their clothes.
D. They wanted to make more money by having sales.
6. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The customers gave up the queuing for which the English are famous.
B. The customers kept their temper while looking for clothes they wanted.
C. Small children enjoyed crawling through people’s legs.
D. The security guards were fearless of the crowd.
7. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Best Bargain. B. Hunting For a Job.
C. Sale Fever. D. A Pleasant Fortnight.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】
本文是记叙文。文章叙述了作者在Graham’s百货公司的一月大减价做销售时的人们疯狂抢购商品的经历。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。第一段中提到各类降价的衣服以及降价幅度。根据“Firstly, there is the special winter stock and the stock that people buy all the year round; some of these things are slightly reduced.”，可知，对于冬季库存的衣服和人们常年购买的库存的衣服，降价幅度不大，只是稍微降价。因此冬季的衣服有可能便宜5%卖出。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“In the sale fever, people were spending money like water without thinking whether they needed what they were buying. As long as it was a bargain it was OK.”在销售热潮中，人们花钱如流水，不考虑是否需要他们所买的东西。只要是便宜就行。因此可以推断， Graham’s百货公司乐意把昂贵的商场变成“战场”是因为Graham’s百货公司想从大减价销售中赚钱。故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。第三段中提到“Within minutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose, each wanting to be the first served. Where had the famous English Queue gone?（几分钟之内，就有六个人把衣服送到我的鼻子底下，每个人都想成为先得到衣服。英国著名的排队到哪里去了?）”。根据背景知识，英国人有着排队的传统。但是在降价热中，人们都争先恐后抢便宜的衣服，根本不排队，放弃了这一传统。 故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。文章中多次提到“sale”，如第一段中“why there were so many things in the sales”，第二段中“on the first day of the sale”。根据最后一段“ In the sale fever”可知，作者在文章中描绘了在Graham’s百货公司“the January sale（一月大降价）”时，人们疯狂抢购的场面。因此本文的标题应该是“Sales Fever(降价热)”。故选C项。
C
We've certainly seen a dog nursing a wound, or a deer calling out in pain. But many animals suffer in silence. The most silent sufferers in the animal world may be fish.
Do fish feel pain? A new study from the University of Liverpool has found that fish feel pain in a way that's "strikingly similar" to humans. For the study, Lynne Sneddon, from the university's Institute of Integrative Biology, reviewed the existing body of research 98 studies in all and concluded that they feel pain just as sharply as we do."
When subject to a potentially painful event, fish show changes in behavior such as stopping feeding and reduced activity, which are prevented when a pain-relieving drug is provided. In fact, like us, they breathe heavily and stop eating when they're hurting. They will even rub the part of their body that aches." Sneddon notes in a university release.
To understand pain in other species, scientists look at nociceptors (疼痛感受器), which send signals to the brain when the body is being damaged. Humans have them throughout their skin, bones and muscles. Nociceptors have also been found in many other species, including even those tiny fruit flies.
Fish have the same means to detect pain signals and the equipment to receive them. Besides, the fishermen's opinion that fish feel no pain just doesn't add up from an evolutionary view. Pain is an efficient messenger that tells, us that we've got a problem. An animal that can't feel it won't get that memo (ER), even if it hurts itself.
"If we accept fish experience pain, then this has great significance for how we treat them," Sneddon says. "Care should be taken when handling fish to avoid damaging theirs sensitive skin and they should be humanely caught and killed."
8. What can we learn about fish?
A. They are insensitive to pain. B. They are able to sense pain.
C. They won't react to painkillers. D. Their brain is the first to send pain signals.
9. What will a fish do when its lips get hurt?
A. It might rub its lips. B. It will keep its mouth open.
C. It will swim around like crazy. D. It will keep eating to forget pain.
10. What is the significance of the study according to Sneddon?
A. People will treat fish in a kinder way.
B. People can understand evolution better.
C. People can develop more drugs to save fish.
D. People will think of more ways to catch fish.
11. What does the underlined part "add up" probably mean?
A. Disappear. B. Put forward.
C. Make sense. D. Happen.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一项研究，研究表明鱼可以感觉疼痛，鱼感到疼痛后做法与人相似，会停止进食和减少活动；科学家们观察了其它物种疼痛感受器，了解了疼痛感受器是如何运作的，Sneddon呼吁人们人道主义地对待鱼。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段的句子“For the study, Lynne Sneddon, from the university's Institute of Integrative Biology, reviewed the existing body of research 98 studies in all and concluded that they feel pain just as sharply as we do.”可知，在这项研究中，从现有的98项研究得出结论，鱼类和我们一样感到疼痛，说明鱼能感受疼痛，B项切题，A项排除；由第三段的句子“When subject to a potentially painful event, fish show changes in behavior such as stopping feeding and reduced activity, which are prevented when a pain-relieving drug is provided.”可知，鱼受伤会停止进食和减少活动，而当提供止痛药物时，这些都会被阻止，所以对止疼药有反应，排除C项；由第四段的第一句“To understand pain in other species, scientists look at nociceptors (疼痛感受器), which send signals to the brain when the body is being damaged.”可知，当身体受到损伤时，疼痛感受器会向大脑发送信号，不是大脑发送的，排除D项。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段地句子“In fact, like us, they breathe heavily and stop eating when they 're hurting. They will even rub the part of their body that aches.”可知，鱼受伤时和我们一样，呼吸沉重，停止进食，甚至会摩擦身体疼痛的部位，可以推理出鱼的嘴唇受伤时鱼会摩擦自己的嘴唇。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段“"If we accept fish experience pain, then this has great significance for how we treat them," Sneddon says. "Care should be taken when handling fish to avoid damaging theirs sensitive skin and they should be humanely caught and killed."”可知，Sneddon说：“如果我们接受鱼的痛苦，那么这对我们如何对待它们有着重要意义。”在处理鱼类时应小心，避免损坏它们敏感的皮肤，并应人道地捕获和杀死它们。”说明研究鱼会让我们更小心地对待鱼，尽量避免鱼感受痛苦。故选A项。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。add up本意意为“相加、合乎情理、说得通、积少成多”。由倒数第二段的句子“Besides, the fishermen's opinion that fish feel no pain just doesn't add up from an evolutionary view.”可知，另外，渔民们认为鱼不会感到疼痛的观点，从进化论的角度说不通，所以add up在此处意为make sense（说得通）。故选C项。
【点睛】词义猜测是应用英语的重要能力，也是高考中必考的题型。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。做这种类型的技巧之一：要根据词、词组、句子所在的语境上下文来判断其意义，上下文语境是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。命题者在出这类题时惯用常规词义来麻痹考生，我们要特别注意熟词生义，切不可脱离语境主观臆断。在第4小题中，同学们要把add up带入“Besides, the fishermen's opinion that fish feel no pain just doesn't add up from an evolutionary view.”这句话的语境中，才可得知add up在此处意为make sense（说得通）。故选C项。
D
If you are reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The oh-ohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, global, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?
Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies to become successful in real life—or “IRL”, as you would say?
Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents", who were always there to guide and help their children with a busy schedule filled with homework and after-class activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.
With these taken into account, does the face down generation need a warning? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They seem to be enthusiastic and willing to be become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school.
So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there are reasons to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you will do GR8 (great) and LOL (laugh out loud).
12. Which of the following words can not be used to describe the oh-ohs?
A. Creative. B. Caring.
C. Ignorant. D. Intelligent.
13. What does the underlined phrase “helicopter parents” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. parents who are rich and travel by helicopter.
B. parents who always watch over their children.
C. parents who have a very busy schedule.
D. parents who only turn up when necessary.
14. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The writer is a member of the face-down generation.
B. The writer is optimistic about the future of the oh-ohs.
C. The oh-ohs are more good-looking than their parents.
D. The oh-ohs care about nothing other than their phones.
15. What can be a best title for the passage?
A. The “helicopter parents” B. The over-worried parents
C. The spoiled generation D. The face-down generation
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇议论文，论述了成年人对于00后的担忧。作者认为00后受过更好的教育和更有创造力，也能关爱他人，对他们的未来充满了希望。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“That would make you young, creative, connected, global, and no doubt smart. ”以及第四段中“More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. ”可知，作者认为00后有创造力、聪明、关爱他人。文中没有关于00后ignorant的描述。故选C项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中关于helicopter parents后定语从句的描述“… who were always there to guide and help their children with a busy schedule filled with homework and after-class activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. ”可知，“直升机父母”是指总是在那里指导和帮助他们的孩子，让孩子的日程安排充满了家庭作业和课后活动。从guide and help可知，“直升机父母”是总是监管孩子的父母。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there are reasons to be hopeful about the future. ” 可知，作者认为00后的未来充满了希望。作者对00后的未来还是很乐观的。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段最后一句提出“But what do other people think about your generation? ”，下文论述了成年人对于00后的种种担忧，认为他们经常使用手机，称他们是“脸朝下”的一代，也担心“直升机父母” 将他们宠坏了。作者认为00后受过更好的教育和更有创造力，也能关爱他们，对他们的未来充满希望。 因此文章是讨论关于00后的不同的看法。故选D项。
【点睛】词义猜测之根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测。
有时文章中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语，下面接着出现其定义或解释，包括标点符号，如逗号后的解释(名词同位语)、破折号后的解释、括号内的解释等。这都是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。例如：
（1）Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly.
（分析：句子给了annealing一个明确的定义，可以猜测意思为“退火”。 ）
（2）It will be very hard but also very brittle — that is, it will break easily.
（分析：从that is(也就是说)后的解释中我们可以了解到，brittle意思为“脆的”。）
（3）Some good readers find it helpful to use their sense to visualize — or picture — what they read.
（分析）visualize的意思由破折号后的picture(想象)给出了说明，可猜测意思为“想象”。
如本题第2 小题，根据helicopter parents后定语从句 who were always there to guide and help their children with a busy schedule filled with homework and after-class activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports可以猜测，“直升机父母”是指对的孩子管得过多的父母 。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Experienced⁃Based Education
Everyone is familiar with traditional education. You sit in a class and a teacher teaches. This is an important part of development. But at some point, every individual has to take charge of their own education. To do this, one must look at the root of learning.___16___
Basically, unfamiliar experiences usually add more value than experiences that are familiar.
___17___ And we are in a better state to learn something new. Honestly, someone who never experiences the same thing twice will never have a chance to benefit from anything learned. However, new experiences are generally what make people interesting and push them to grow.
High school is a new experience. College is a new experience. However, at some point traditional education becomes repetitive. It is not that you won’t learn anything else, but that the environment is so familiar.___18___
To solve this, an individual needs to introduce new experiences into their life. You may spend a summer in a different part of the country or learn a new language through trial and error. You can also go to a drive⁃in movie（or some other entertainment event that is new to you）.___19___
These types of experiences often result in very little“book knowledge”. Instead, they will often provide you with a better understanding of yourself as you experience your reaction to different situations.____20____ It can be invaluable for you to work effectively with others. Becoming a well ⁃ rounded human isn’t something that happens by accident. You can spend your entire lifetime developing your potential.
A. Has education changed so much in the last decade?
B. They will also provide you with a better understanding of others.
C. Those new experiences may not lead to great personal development.
D. These are all things that can stretch and expand your experience in life.
E. This is because unfamiliar experiences require much more of our attention.
F. As a result, you can easily become less aware of your experience and not learn as much.
G. What makes some experiences add great value to our lives while other experiences do not?
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. F 19. D 20. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了是什么让一些经历给我们的生活增加了巨大的价值，而另一些却没有。
【16题详解】
由下文Basically, unfamiliar experiences usually add more value than experiences that are familiar.可知，基本上，不熟悉的经历通常比熟悉的经历更有价值。所以上文是对选项的回答，且选项统领全文。故G选项“是什么让一些经历为我们的生活增添了巨大的价值，而另一些却没有?”切题。故选G项。
【17题详解】
由下文And we are in a better state to learn something new.可知，我们处在一个更好的状态，会学习一些新的东西。所以选项与后一句为并列关系，且在解释选项上一句的原因。故E选项“这是因为不熟悉的经历需要我们更多的注意力”切题。故选E项。
【18题详解】
由前文It is not that you won’t learn anything else, but that the environment is so familiar.可知，这并不是说你不会学到别的东西，而是环境太熟悉了。所以选项与前句为因果关系。故F选项“因此，你很容易对自己的经验缺乏意识，也学不到很多东西”切题。故选F项。
【19题详解】
由前文You may spend a summer in a different part of the country or learn a new language through trial and error. You can also go to a drive⁃in movie（or some other entertainment event that is new to you）可知，你可以在一个不同的地方度过一个夏天，或者通过反复试验来学习一门新的语言。你也可以看汽车电影(或其他娱乐事件这对你来说都是新的)。所以选项是对空前所叙述的三个例子的总结。故D选项“这些都可以扩展你的生活经验”切题。故选D项。
【20题详解】
由前文Instead, they will often provide you with a better understanding of yourself as you experience your reaction to different situations.可知，相反，它们会让你在体验不同情况下的反应时，更好地了解自己。所以选项与前文话题相关且为并列关系。故B选项“他们也会让你更好地理解别人”切题。故选B项。

In order to keep the Chinese traditional culture alive, we held the Chinese Character Dictation Competition in our school on last Saturday. Lucky , I was selected to take part in an activity on behalf of my classmates. Some of my classmates helped me review many Chinese characters when aren't commonly used today, while others reminded me of unfamiliar one whenever they were free. My head teacher also encouraged us to try my best. During the competition, I manage to answer all the questions giving by the judges because I had made great efforts for it. When I got the first place, I came to realize that it was my classmates' kind help or my head teacher's encouragement which contributed to my success.
【答案】1.去掉on
2.Lucky→Luckily
3.an→the
4.when→that
5.one→ones
6.us→me
7.manage→managed
8.giving→given
9.or→and
10.which→that
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者在老师和同学的帮助下，在上周六的汉字听写比赛中获得第一名。
【详解】第一处：考查介词。句意：为了保持中国传统文化的活力，上周六我们在学校举办了汉字听写比赛。上周六last Saturday作为时间状语，不需要接冠词，故去掉on。
第二处：考查副词。句意：幸运的是，代表我的同学，我被选去参加这个活动。Lucky放在句首，用来修饰整个句子，应用它的副词形式，故将Lucky改为Luckily。
第三处：考查冠词。句意：同上。分析句子可知，这里的activity指的是上文说的汉字听写比赛，是特指，应用定冠词the修饰，故将an改为the。
第四处：考查定语从句的关系词。句意：我的一些同学帮我复习了很多今天不常用的汉字，还有一些人一有空就会帮我记起不熟悉的汉字。分析句子可知， aren't commonly used today为定语从句，修饰先行词Chinese characters，先行词在从句中做主语，应用that引导，故将when改为that。
第五处：考查代词。句意：同上。分析句子可知，one指代的是上文Chinese characters，应用复数形式ones，故将one改为ones。
第六处：考查代词。句意：我的班主任也鼓励我们要尽我最大的努力。分析句子可知，本句的宾语us应和后面的try my best保持指代一致，应用me，故将us改为me。
第七处：考查时态。句意：在比赛中，我成功地回答了评委提出的所有问题，因为我为此付出了巨大的努力。文章是描述上周六发生的事情，全文应用一般过去时，故将manage改为managed。
第八处：考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。分析句子可知，giving在这里修饰questions作定语，但它和修饰语之间为被动关系，应用过去分词，故将giving改为given。
第九处：考查连词。句意：当我拿到第一名的时候，我意识到这是我同学的善意帮助和班主任的鼓励，为我的成功做出了贡献。分析句子可知，my classmates' kind help my head 和my teacher's encouragement并列作表语，不是选择关系，是并列关系，故将or改为and。
第十处：考查强调句型。句意：同上。分析句子可知，it was my classmates' kind help or my head teacher's encouragement which contributed to my success为强调句型，强调句型为it is/was+被强调部分+that+其他，故将which改为that。

I needed to get some money so, after Christmas, I took a job in the clothes department at Graham’s for the first fortnight of the January sale. I can’t say that I enjoyed it, but it was an experience I’ll never forget. I could never understand why there were so many things in the sales; where did they all come from? Now I know the secret! Firstly, there is the special winter stock and the stock that people buy all the year round; some of these things are slightly reduced. Secondly, there are the summer clothes they couldn’t sell last year; these are heavily reduced to clear them. Thirdly, there are cheap clothes bought in specially for the sales; these are put out at high prices ten days before the sale begins and then are reduced by 60% in the sale. Clever! Lastly, they buy in “seconds” (clothes not in perfect condition) for the sale and they are sold very cheaply.
When I arrived half an hour before opening on the first day of the sale, there was already a queue around three sides of the building. This made me very nervous. When the big moment arrived to open the doors, the security guards, looking less confident than usual, came up to them, keys in hand. The moment they had unlocked the doors, they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowd charged in. I couldn’t believe my eyes; this wasn’t shopping, it was a battlefield! One poor lady couldn’t keep her feet and was knocked over by people pushing from behind. Clothes were flying in all directions as people searched for the sizes, colors and styles they wanted. Quarrels broke out. Mothers were using their small children to crawl(爬行) through people’s legs and get hold of things they couldn’t get near themselves.
Within minutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose, each wanting to be the first served. Where had the famous English Queue gone? The whole day continued like that, but I kept my temper! I was taking money hand over fist and began to realize why, twice a year, Graham’s were happy to turn their expensive store into a battlefield like this. In the sale fever, people were spending money like water without thinking whether they needed what they were buying. As long as it was a bargain it was OK. You won’t believe this but as soon as I got home I crashed out for four hours. Then I had dinner and went back to bed, fearing the sound of the alarm which would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale.
4. What kind of clothes is likely to be sold 5% cheaper?
A. Last summer’s clothes. B. Clothes not in perfect condition.
C. Clothes bought in specially for the sales. D. Clothes for winter.
5. In the author’s opinion, why were Graham’s happy to make their expensive store into “Battlefield”?
A. There were too many clothes and they wanted to clear them in the sales.
B. They were eager to show that they were clever at doing business.
C. They could take the chance to raise the prices of all their clothes.
D. They wanted to make more money by having sales.
6. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The customers gave up the queuing for which the English are famous.
B. The customers kept their temper while looking for clothes they wanted.
C. Small children enjoyed crawling through people’s legs.
D. The security guards were fearless of the crowd.
7. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Best Bargain. B. Hunting For a Job.
C. Sale Fever. D. A Pleasant Fortnight.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】
本文是记叙文。文章叙述了作者在Graham’s百货公司的一月大减价做销售时的人们疯狂抢购商品的经历。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。第一段中提到各类降价的衣服以及降价幅度。根据“Firstly, there is the special winter stock and the stock that people buy all the year round; some of these things are slightly reduced.”，可知，对于冬季库存的衣服和人们常年购买的库存的衣服，降价幅度不大，只是稍微降价。因此冬季的衣服有可能便宜5%卖出。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“In the sale fever, people were spending money like water without thinking whether they needed what they were buying. As long as it was a bargain it was OK.”在销售热潮中，人们花钱如流水，不考虑是否需要他们所买的东西。只要是便宜就行。因此可以推断， Graham’s百货公司乐意把昂贵的商场变成“战场”是因为Graham’s百货公司想从大减价销售中赚钱。故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。第三段中提到“Within minutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose, each wanting to be the first served. Where had the famous English Queue gone?（几分钟之内，就有六个人把衣服送到我的鼻子底下，每个人都想成为先得到衣服。英国著名的排队到哪里去了?）”。根据背景知识，英国人有着排队的传统。但是在降价热中，人们都争先恐后抢便宜的衣服，根本不排队，放弃了这一传统。 故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。文章中多次提到“sale”，如第一段中“why there were so many things in the sales”，第二段中“on the first day of the sale”。根据最后一段“ In the sale fever”可知，作者在文章中描绘了在Graham’s百货公司“the January sale（一月大降价）”时，人们疯狂抢购的场面。因此本文的标题应该是“Sales Fever(降价热)”。故选C项。
C
We've certainly seen a dog nursing a wound, or a deer calling out in pain. But many animals suffer in silence. The most silent sufferers in the animal world may be fish.
Do fish feel pain? A new study from the University of Liverpool has found that fish feel pain in a way that's "strikingly similar" to humans. For the study, Lynne Sneddon, from the university's Institute of Integrative Biology, reviewed the existing body of research 98 studies in all and concluded that they feel pain just as sharply as we do."
When subject to a potentially painful event, fish show changes in behavior such as stopping feeding and reduced activity, which are prevented when a pain-relieving drug is provided. In fact, like us, they breathe heavily and stop eating when they're hurting. They will even rub the part of their body that aches." Sneddon notes in a university release.
To understand pain in other species, scientists look at nociceptors (疼痛感受器), which send signals to the brain when the body is being damaged. Humans have them throughout their skin, bones and muscles. Nociceptors have also been found in many other species, including even those tiny fruit flies.
Fish have the same means to detect pain signals and the equipment to receive them. Besides, the fishermen's opinion that fish feel no pain just doesn't add up from an evolutionary view. Pain is an efficient messenger that tells, us that we've got a problem. An animal that can't feel it won't get that memo (ER), even if it hurts itself.
"If we accept fish experience pain, then this has great significance for how we treat them," Sneddon says. "Care should be taken when handling fish to avoid damaging theirs sensitive skin and they should be humanely caught and killed."
8. What can we learn about fish?
A. They are insensitive to pain. B. They are able to sense pain.
C. They won't react to painkillers. D. Their brain is the first to send pain signals.
9. What will a fish do when its lips get hurt?
A. It might rub its lips. B. It will keep its mouth open.
C. It will swim around like crazy. D. It will keep eating to forget pain.
10. What is the significance of the study according to Sneddon?
A. People will treat fish in a kinder way.
B. People can understand evolution better.
C. People can develop more drugs to save fish.
D. People will think of more ways to catch fish.
11. What does the underlined part "add up" probably mean?
A. Disappear. B. Put forward.
C. Make sense. D. Happen.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一项研究，研究表明鱼可以感觉疼痛，鱼感到疼痛后做法与人相似，会停止进食和减少活动；科学家们观察了其它物种疼痛感受器，了解了疼痛感受器是如何运作的，Sneddon呼吁人们人道主义地对待鱼。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段的句子“For the study, Lynne Sneddon, from the university's Institute of Integrative Biology, reviewed the existing body of research 98 studies in all and concluded that they feel pain just as sharply as we do.”可知，在这项研究中，从现有的98项研究得出结论，鱼类和我们一样感到疼痛，说明鱼能感受疼痛，B项切题，A项排除；由第三段的句子“When subject to a potentially painful event, fish show changes in behavior such as stopping feeding and reduced activity, which are prevented when a pain-relieving drug is provided.”可知，鱼受伤会停止进食和减少活动，而当提供止痛药物时，这些都会被阻止，所以对止疼药有反应，排除C项；由第四段的第一句“To understand pain in other species, scientists look at nociceptors (疼痛感受器), which send signals to the brain when the body is being damaged.”可知，当身体受到损伤时，疼痛感受器会向大脑发送信号，不是大脑发送的，排除D项。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段地句子“In fact, like us, they breathe heavily and stop eating when they 're hurting. They will even rub the part of their body that aches.”可知，鱼受伤时和我们一样，呼吸沉重，停止进食，甚至会摩擦身体疼痛的部位，可以推理出鱼的嘴唇受伤时鱼会摩擦自己的嘴唇。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段“"If we accept fish experience pain, then this has great significance for how we treat them," Sneddon says. "Care should be taken when handling fish to avoid damaging theirs sensitive skin and they should be humanely caught and killed."”可知，Sneddon说：“如果我们接受鱼的痛苦，那么这对我们如何对待它们有着重要意义。”在处理鱼类时应小心，避免损坏它们敏感的皮肤，并应人道地捕获和杀死它们。”说明研究鱼会让我们更小心地对待鱼，尽量避免鱼感受痛苦。故选A项。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。add up本意意为“相加、合乎情理、说得通、积少成多”。由倒数第二段的句子“Besides, the fishermen's opinion that fish feel no pain just doesn't add up from an evolutionary view.”可知，另外，渔民们认为鱼不会感到疼痛的观点，从进化论的角度说不通，所以add up在此处意为make sense（说得通）。故选C项。
【点睛】词义猜测是应用英语的重要能力，也是高考中必考的题型。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。做这种类型的技巧之一：要根据词、词组、句子所在的语境上下文来判断其意义，上下文语境是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。命题者在出这类题时惯用常规词义来麻痹考生，我们要特别注意熟词生义，切不可脱离语境主观臆断。在第4小题中，同学们要把add up带入“Besides, the fishermen's opinion that fish feel no pain just doesn't add up from an evolutionary view.”这句话的语境中，才可得知add up在此处意为make sense（说得通）。故选C项。
D
If you are reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The oh-ohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, global, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?
Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family. Are today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies to become successful in real life—or “IRL”, as you would say?
Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents", who were always there to guide and help their children with a busy schedule filled with homework and after-class activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.
With these taken into account, does the face down generation need a warning? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They seem to be enthusiastic and willing to be become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school.
So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there are reasons to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you will do GR8 (great) and LOL (laugh out loud).
12. Which of the following words can not be used to describe the oh-ohs?
A. Creative. B. Caring.
C. Ignorant. D. Intelligent.
13. What does the underlined phrase “helicopter parents” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. parents who are rich and travel by helicopter.
B. parents who always watch over their children.
C. parents who have a very busy schedule.
D. parents who only turn up when necessary.
14. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The writer is a member of the face-down generation.
B. The writer is optimistic about the future of the oh-ohs.
C. The oh-ohs are more good-looking than their parents.
D. The oh-ohs care about nothing other than their phones.
15. What can be a best title for the passage?
A. The “helicopter parents” B. The over-worried parents
C. The spoiled generation D. The face-down generation
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇议论文，论述了成年人对于00后的担忧。作者认为00后受过更好的教育和更有创造力，也能关爱他人，对他们的未来充满了希望。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“That would make you young, creative, connected, global, and no doubt smart. ”以及第四段中“More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. ”可知，作者认为00后有创造力、聪明、关爱他人。文中没有关于00后ignorant的描述。故选C项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中关于helicopter parents后定语从句的描述“… who were always there to guide and help their children with a busy schedule filled with homework and after-class activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. ”可知，“直升机父母”是指总是在那里指导和帮助他们的孩子，让孩子的日程安排充满了家庭作业和课后活动。从guide and help可知，“直升机父母”是总是监管孩子的父母。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there are reasons to be hopeful about the future. ” 可知，作者认为00后的未来充满了希望。作者对00后的未来还是很乐观的。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段最后一句提出“But what do other people think about your generation? ”，下文论述了成年人对于00后的种种担忧，认为他们经常使用手机，称他们是“脸朝下”的一代，也担心“直升机父母” 将他们宠坏了。作者认为00后受过更好的教育和更有创造力，也能关爱他们，对他们的未来充满希望。 因此文章是讨论关于00后的不同的看法。故选D项。
【点睛】词义猜测之根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测。
有时文章中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语，下面接着出现其定义或解释，包括标点符号，如逗号后的解释(名词同位语)、破折号后的解释、括号内的解释等。这都是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。例如：
（1）Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly.
（分析：句子给了annealing一个明确的定义，可以猜测意思为“退火”。 ）
（2）It will be very hard but also very brittle — that is, it will break easily.
（分析：从that is(也就是说)后的解释中我们可以了解到，brittle意思为“脆的”。）
（3）Some good readers find it helpful to use their sense to visualize — or picture — what they read.
（分析）visualize的意思由破折号后的picture(想象)给出了说明，可猜测意思为“想象”。
如本题第2 小题，根据helicopter parents后定语从句 who were always there to guide and help their children with a busy schedule filled with homework and after-class activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports可以猜测，“直升机父母”是指对的孩子管得过多的父母 。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Experienced⁃Based Education
Everyone is familiar with traditional education. You sit in a class and a teacher teaches. This is an important part of development. But at some point, every individual has to take charge of their own education. To do this, one must look at the root of learning.___16___
Basically, unfamiliar experiences usually add more value than experiences that are familiar.
___17___ And we are in a better state to learn something new. Honestly, someone who never experiences the same thing twice will never have a chance to benefit from anything learned. However, new experiences are generally what make people interesting and push them to grow.
High school is a new experience. College is a new experience. However, at some point traditional education becomes repetitive. It is not that you won’t learn anything else, but that the environment is so familiar.___18___
To solve this, an individual needs to introduce new experiences into their life. You may spend a summer in a different part of the country or learn a new language through trial and error. You can also go to a drive⁃in movie（or some other entertainment event that is new to you）.___19___
These types of experiences often result in very little“book knowledge”. Instead, they will often provide you with a better understanding of yourself as you experience your reaction to different situations.____20____ It can be invaluable for you to work effectively with others. Becoming a well ⁃ rounded human isn’t something that happens by accident. You can spend your entire lifetime developing your potential.
A. Has education changed so much in the last decade?
B. They will also provide you with a better understanding of others.
C. Those new experiences may not lead to great personal development.
D. These are all things that can stretch and expand your experience in life.
E. This is because unfamiliar experiences require much more of our attention.
F. As a result, you can easily become less aware of your experience and not learn as much.
G. What makes some experiences add great value to our lives while other experiences do not?
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. F 19. D 20. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了是什么让一些经历给我们的生活增加了巨大的价值，而另一些却没有。
【16题详解】
由下文Basically, unfamiliar experiences usually add more value than experiences that are familiar.可知，基本上，不熟悉的经历通常比熟悉的经历更有价值。所以上文是对选项的回答，且选项统领全文。故G选项“是什么让一些经历为我们的生活增添了巨大的价值，而另一些却没有?”切题。故选G项。
【17题详解】
由下文And we are in a better state to learn something new.可知，我们处在一个更好的状态，会学习一些新的东西。所以选项与后一句为并列关系，且在解释选项上一句的原因。故E选项“这是因为不熟悉的经历需要我们更多的注意力”切题。故选E项。
【18题详解】
由前文It is not that you won’t learn anything else, but that the environment is so familiar.可知，这并不是说你不会学到别的东西，而是环境太熟悉了。所以选项与前句为因果关系。故F选项“因此，你很容易对自己的经验缺乏意识，也学不到很多东西”切题。故选F项。
【19题详解】
由前文You may spend a summer in a different part of the country or learn a new language through trial and error. You can also go to a drive⁃in movie（or some other entertainment event that is new to you）可知，你可以在一个不同的地方度过一个夏天，或者通过反复试验来学习一门新的语言。你也可以看汽车电影(或其他娱乐事件这对你来说都是新的)。所以选项是对空前所叙述的三个例子的总结。故D选项“这些都可以扩展你的生活经验”切题。故选D项。
【20题详解】
由前文Instead, they will often provide you with a better understanding of yourself as you experience your reaction to different situations.可知，相反，它们会让你在体验不同情况下的反应时，更好地了解自己。所以选项与前文话题相关且为并列关系。故B选项“他们也会让你更好地理解别人”切题。故选B项。

In order to keep the Chinese traditional culture alive, we held the Chinese Character Dictation Competition in our school on last Saturday. Lucky , I was selected to take part in an activity on behalf of my classmates. Some of my classmates helped me review many Chinese characters when aren't commonly used today, while others reminded me of unfamiliar one whenever they were free. My head teacher also encouraged us to try my best. During the competition, I manage to answer all the questions giving by the judges because I had made great efforts for it. When I got the first place, I came to realize that it was my classmates' kind help or my head teacher's encouragement which contributed to my success.

【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者在老师和同学的帮助下，在上周六的汉字听写比赛中获得第一名。
【详解】第一处：考查介词。句意：为了保持中国传统文化的活力，上周六我们在学校举办了汉字听写比赛。上周六last Saturday作为时间状语，不需要接冠词，故去掉on。
第二处：考查副词。句意：幸运的是，代表我的同学，我被选去参加这个活动。Lucky放在句首，用来修饰整个句子，应用它的副词形式，故将Lucky改为Luckily。
第三处：考查冠词。句意：同上。分析句子可知，这里的activity指的是上文说的汉字听写比赛，是特指，应用定冠词the修饰，故将an改为the。
第四处：考查定语从句的关系词。句意：我的一些同学帮我复习了很多今天不常用的汉字，还有一些人一有空就会帮我记起不熟悉的汉字。分析句子可知， aren't commonly used today为定语从句，修饰先行词Chinese characters，先行词在从句中做主语，应用that引导，故将when改为that。
第五处：考查代词。句意：同上。分析句子可知，one指代的是上文Chinese characters，应用复数形式ones，故将one改为ones。
第六处：考查代词。句意：我的班主任也鼓励我们要尽我最大的努力。分析句子可知，本句的宾语us应和后面的try my best保持指代一致，应用me，故将us改为me。
第七处：考查时态。句意：在比赛中，我成功地回答了评委提出的所有问题，因为我为此付出了巨大的努力。文章是描述上周六发生的事情，全文应用一般过去时，故将manage改为managed。
第八处：考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。分析句子可知，giving在这里修饰questions作定语，但它和修饰语之间为被动关系，应用过去分词，故将giving改为given。
第九处：考查连词。句意：当我拿到第一名的时候，我意识到这是我同学的善意帮助和班主任的鼓励，为我的成功做出了贡献。分析句子可知，my classmates' kind help my head 和my teacher's encouragement并列作表语，不是选择关系，是并列关系，故将or改为and。
第十处：考查强调句型。句意：同上。分析句子可知，it was my classmates' kind help or my head teacher's encouragement which contributed to my success为强调句型，强调句型为it is/was+被强调部分+that+其他，故将which改为that。
