【点睛】同位语从句的学习是英语学习者都要过的一关，虽然有些难，但小编为大家整理了与同位语从句相关的语法知识，首先，我们从引导词讲起：引导同位语从句的词语通常有连词that，whether，连接代词和连接副词等。
1. 由that引导
We heard the news that our team had won. 我们听到消息说我们队赢了。
注意：在某些名词（如demand, wish, suggestion, resolution等）后面的同位语从句要用虚拟语气。如：
They expressed the wish that she accept the award. 他们表示希望她接受这笔奖金。
There was a suggestion that Brown should be dropped from the team.有一项建议是布朗应该离队。
2. 由whether引导
There is some doubt whether he will come. 他是否会来还不一定。
We are not investigating the question whether he is trustworthy. 我们不是在调查他是否可以信任的问题。
注意：whether 可引导同位语从句，但if不能引导同位语从句。
3. 由连接代词引导
Have you any idea what time it starts? 你知道什么时候开始吗？
Then I had no idea what a casino was.当时我不知道赌场是什么样的地方。
4. 由连接副词引导
I have no idea when he will come back. 我不知道他什么时候回来。
It is a question how he did it. 那是一个他如何做的问题。
He had no idea why she left. 他不知道她为什么离开。
You have no idea how worried I was! 你不知道我多着急
如本题设空处引导同位语从句，从句句子成分齐全，应使用只起连接作用、无实意的that引导。故选A。
14.____to the students at home, the textbooks enabled them to study more efficiently.
A. Distributing B. Having distributed
C. Being distributed D. Distributed
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：课本被分发给家里的学生，使他们能更有效地学习。分析句子结构可知distribute在句中作非谓语动词，与逻辑主语textbooks构成被动关系，故用过去分词形式，故排除A/B选项；C选项Being distributed表示“正在被……”，句子没有体现动作正在进行，与前后语境不符。故选D。
15.— Here you are.You can do it by six o'clock.
—By six o'clock?______！I'm not superman.
A. Beats me B. Allow me C. Lend me a hand D. Give me a break

Once you have your kit, you are not required until 10:30 a.m., so you can relax in the Student Centre until you are called over the PA system.” 上午9：00至上午10:00（不迟于）您应该到旧教堂建筑的门厅，领取您的新生信息袋，一旦你有信息袋，要求你在上午10:30之前拿，所以你可以在学生中心休息一直到通过广播系统呼叫你。由此可知拿到信息袋后至少可以有30分钟放松。故选D。

Scientists say they’ve developed a system using machine learning to predict when and where lighting will strike.The research was led by engineers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland.
European researchers have estimated that between 6,000 and 24,000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year. The strikes can also cause power outages, destroy property, damage electrical equipment and start forest fires. For these reasons, climate scientists have long sought to develop methods to predict and control lightning. In the United States and other places, ground-based sensing devices are used to identify strikes as they happen. But, no system has been created to effectively predict lightning.
The system tested in the experiments used a combination of data from weather stations and machine learning methods. The researchers developed a prediction model that was trained to recognize weather conditions that were likely to cause lightning.
The model was created with data collected over a 12-year period from 12 Swiss weather stations in cities and mountain areas. The data related to four main surface conditions: air pressure, air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed.
The atmospheric, data was placed into a machine learning algorithm (算法), which compared it to records of lightning strikes. Researchers say the algorithm was then able to learn the conditions under which lightning happens.
Amirhossein Mostajabi is a PhD student at the institute who led the development of the method. He said, “current systems for gathering such data are slow and complex and require costly collection equipment like radar or satellites.”
“Our method uses data that can be obtained from any weather station,” Mostajabi said. “This will improve data collection in very remote areas not covered by radar and satellite or in places where communication systems have been cut,” he added.
The researchers plan to keep developing the technology in partnership with a European effort that aims to create a lightning protection system. The effort is called the European Laser Lightning Rod project.
40. Why have climate scientists tried to predict and control lighting?
A. To collect relative data.
B. To reduce the destruction lightning has been causing.
C. To create a scientific system.
D. To do research in relation to machine learning.
41. The four mentioned surface conditions include all the following EXCEPT________.
A. air pollution
B. wind speed
C. relative humidity
D. air temperature
42. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A. Lighting.
B. The system being tested.
C. The atmospheric data.
D. The machine learning algorithm.

【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家们开发出的一种系统，利用机器学习能力有效地预测闪电，以减少闪电袭击带来的危害和损失。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“...that between 6,000 and 24,000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year. The strikes can also cause power outages, destroy property, damage electrical equipment and start forest fires. For these reasons，climate scientists have long sought to develop methods to predict and control lightning.(世界各地每年有6,000至24,000人死于闪电。闪电袭击还可能导致停电、破坏财产、损坏电气设备和引发森林火灾)”可知，科协家们想预测、控制闪电是因为想找到办法，以减少闪电所带来的危害和损失。故选B项。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The data related to four main surface conditions: air pressure, air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed.”可知，与四个主要表面条件有关的数据有气压、空气温度、相对湿度和风速，没有提到空气污染。故选A项。
【42题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段“The atmospheric data was placed into a machine learning algorithm (算法), which compared it to records of lightning strikes.(将大气数据输入到机器学习计算法中，随后计算法会将这些数据与闪电袭击记录进行比较)”可以推测，it指代上一句中的the atmospheric data。故选C项。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。第六段中提到“current systems for gathering such data are slow and complex and require costly collection equipment like radar or satellites”可知，Mostajabi认为目前收集此类数据的系统缓慢而复杂，需要昂贵的雷达或卫星等收集设备；第七段中提到“Our method uses data that can be obtained from any weather station…This will improve data collection in very remote areas not covered by radar and satellite or in places where communication systems have been cut”可知，Mostajabi认为他们这种方法使用的数据可以从任何气象站获得，这将改善雷达和卫星未覆盖的非常偏远地区或通信系统被切断的地方的数据收集。因此可以推断，Mostajabi相信他们的系统在数据收集方面比原来的做得更好。故选D项。
【44题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第1段讲到：科学家们开发出的一种系统有效地预测闪电。后又提到这个预测系统减少闪电袭击带来的危害和损失以及它的作用。由此可知，Scientists Test Systems to Predict Lightning.(科学家测试系统来预测闪电)能够概述文章大意。故选B项。
C
Dad and I loved baseball and hated sleep. One midsummer dawn when I was nine, we drove to the local park with our baseballs, gloves, and Yankees caps.
“If you thought night baseball was a thrill, just wait,” Dad told me. “Morning air carries the ball like you’ve never seen.”
He was right. Our fastballs charged faster and landed more lightly. The echoes of our catches popped as the sun rose over the dew-sprinkled fields.
The park was all ours for about two hours. Then a young mother pushed her stroller toward us. When she neared, dad politely leaned-over the stroller, waved, and gave the baby his best smile.
The mother stared at him for a second, and then rushed away.
Dad covered his mouth with his hand and walked to the car. “Let’s go,” he said. “I’m not feeling well.”
A month earlier, Bell’s palsy(贝尔氏神经麻痹）had struck Dad, paralyzing the right side of his face. His smile, which once eased the pain of playground cuts and burst forth was gone.
As I slumped in the car, I began suspecting that our sunrise, park visit wasn’t about watching daylight lift around us. This was his effort to avoid stares.
After that day, Dad spent more time indoors and no longer wanted to play catch.
For Bell’s palsy suffers, most recover in several weeks. Other cases take a few months to heal. But after nine weeks of therapy, the doctor admitted she couldn’t help Dad.
Dad coped through humor. He occasionally grabbed erasable markers and drew an even-sided wide smile across his face. Other times, he practiced his Elvis impersonation, joking that his curled lips allowed him to perfect his performance of “Hound Dog”.
By the time I entered fourth grade that September, dad could blink his right eye and speak clearly again.But his smile still hadn’t returned.So I made a secret vow I would abstain from smiles of any kind.
Nothing about fourth grade made this easy. Classmates were both old enough to laugh about pop culture and young enough to appreciate jokes. Kids called me Frowny the Dwarf.(I was three foot ten.) Teachers accompanied me into hallways, asking what was wrong. Breaking the promise I had made myself was tempting, but I couldn’t let Dad not smile alone.
When I asked my PE coach, “What’s so great about smiling?” He made me do push-ups while the rest of the class played ball game. Then he called Dad.
I never learned what they discussed. But when I got off the school bus that afternoon, I saw Dad waiting for me, holding our gloves and ball. For the first time in months, we got in the family car and went to the park for a catch.
“It’s been too long,” he said.
Roughly a half-dozen fathers and sons lined the field with gloved arms in the air.
Dad couldn’t smile, but he beamed, and so did I. Sundown came quickly. The field’s white lights glowed, and everyone else left. But dad and I threw everything from curve balls to folly floaters into the night. We had catching up to do.
45. Why did Dad choose to play baseballs one summer dawn?
A. They could perform better in the morning.
B. Morning air was more suitable for playing baseball.
C. He tried to escape others attention to his face.
D. The park was empty and they could enjoy themselves
46. The underlined phrase “abstain from” in Paragraph 12 means_______.
A. seek for B. give up
C. recover from D. break into
47. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 13?
A. The boy lost his ability to smile.
B. The boy couldn’t appreciate pop culture
C. The boy must have suffered many wrongs.
D. The boy tried his best to make Father smile.
48. Why did the father accompany his son to the park for a catch that night?
A. He had made a complete recovery.
B. He thought night baseball was a thrill.
C He was instructed by the PE coach to do so."
D. He intended his son to return to normal
49. Which of the following can best describe the author’s father?
A. Selfless and lucky
B. Responsible, and humorous.
C. Sensitive and stubborn.
D Generous and determined.
50. What is the best title for the passage?

【答案】45. C 46. B 47. C 48. D 49. B 50. A
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。作者在文章中讲述了爸爸的微笑消失的原因以及给作者带来的影响。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据第八段As I slumped in the car, I began suspecting that our sunrise, park visit wasn’t about watching daylight lift around us. This was his effort to avoid stares. 当我躺在车里时候，我开始怀疑我们的日出、公园之旅并不是为了看日出。他这样做是为了避免别人盯着他看。可知，爸爸选择在一个夏天的黎明打棒球是因为他尝试不让别人注意到他的脸。故选C项。
46题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第十二段中…dad could blink his right eye and speak clearly again. But his smile still hadn’t returned. 爸爸眨了眨右眼，又能清楚地说话了。但他的微笑仍然没有回来。由作者描写爸爸的微笑仍然没回来，可知，作者因此发誓放弃任何微笑，故猜测划线词abstain from意为“放弃，戒绝”。故选B项。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据第十三段中Kids called me Frowny the Dwarf. (I was three foot ten.) Teachers accompanied me into hallways, asking what was wrong. 孩子们叫我小矮人弗鲁尼。(我身高三英尺十英寸。)老师们陪着我走进走廊，问我出了什么事。由孩子们叫作者为小矮人，老师又问发生了什么，可知，这个男孩一定受了不少冤屈。故选C项。

推理判断题。根据第十一段Dad coped through humor. He occasionally grabbed erasable markers and drew an even-sided wide smile across his face. Other times, he practiced his Elvis impersonation, joking that his curled lips allowed him to perfect his performance of “Hound Dog”. 爸爸通过幽默应对生活。他偶尔会拿起可擦的记号笔，在脸上画出一个对称的大大的笑容。其他时候，他练习模仿埃尔维斯，开玩笑说，他的噘嘴可以让他完美地表演《猎犬》。可知，作者的爸爸是幽默的；由最后一段中Dad couldn’t smile, but he beamed, and so did I. 爸爸不会笑，但他微笑了，我也一样。可知，作者的爸爸为了儿子让自己微笑了，因此是负责任的。因此，作者的爸爸是幽默且负责任的。故选B项。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中When she neared, dad politely leaned-over the stroller, waved, and gave the baby his best smile. 当她走近时，爸爸礼貌地从婴儿车上探过身来，向她挥手，并给了婴儿一个最好的微笑。作者描述了爸爸不微笑的原因；第七段中His smile, which once eased the pain of playground cuts and burst forth was gone. 他的微笑，曾经缓解疼痛的操场割伤和爆发，已消失。作者描述了爸爸的微笑已经消失；以及最后一段中Dad couldn’t smile, but he beamed, and so did I. 爸爸不会笑，但他微笑了，我也一样。作者描述了爸爸的微笑回来了。可知，本文主要是讲述了爸爸的微笑消失的原因以及给作者带来的影响，因此本文的最佳标题是“失去了父亲的笑容”。故选A项。

The recent widespread interest in all branches of psychology has accustomed us to accepting an idea which,when first offered,seemed laughable:We all,at some level,spend most of the time on reverie(幻想）。We dream either consciously or unconsciously,awake or asleep,of a situation in which we feel we should be happier than we are in real life.Occasionally some childish ideas of happiness or success break out in to confuse or prevent us from living an adult life.Sometimes the dream is refusing to leave the safe shelter of the nursery,where all wants were met as soon as felt,where warmth and food and love were given freely and unearned.As Emerson wrote,"We do not believe there is any force in today to match or recreate that beautiful yesterday.We linger in(徘徊）the ruins of the old tent where once we had bread and shelter."To some extent this is true of all of us,but less true of the happy and successful adult than of others.
At other times,funnily enough,the life-wasting reverie is about success:The mild man is Napoleon or the ugly woman is a charming singer.If reality never broke in upon such reverie,the dreamer might be happier than if he were to find himself in a position to realize some part of it.Such reverie is in itself compensation for a life of dull routine.But,the world being what it is,the dreamer must live,for part of his time at least,in the cold atmosphere of fact.This is no Land of Cockaigne:Roast 1t pigs do not run about crying,"Eat me!"Fruit does not fall from the trees into our mouths..
The deeply rooted dreamer will struggle only just as much as he needs,and no more.He will do anything half-heartedly to get his bread and butter.Then,when his daily task is over,he will be hack to his dreams again,whether he realizes it or not. He succeeds at only one thing:in clearing away a little space,gaining each day a few hours of free time,for just one purpose-to go on wasting his life.But his
dream is happy.It is,for him,a true compensation for his failure in every other relation,and so he continues in it.Yet,since after all happiness is the true goal,he believes that the smallest success in reverie brings with it more happiness.
However,it is important to remember that failure is real,for otherwise we will not prepare ourselves to fight it.
51. People's spending most of the time on reverie is something that
A. was laughed at by people in the past
B. most people are greatly fed up with
C. psychologists are very interested in
D. psychologists have widely accepted
52. People who are living in reverie
A. are filled with fear of the future life
B. usually have a happy childhood
C. always enjoy recalling their past life
D. are happier than any successful adult
53. People living in the Land of Cockaigne______
A. think that they are the greatest of the world
B. could enjoy all they need for life without work
C. will realize life means struggle
D. usually live a life of dull routine
54. Which of the following about deeply rooted dreamers is TRUE?
A. They'll never work for life even when they're starving.
B. They admire heroes so much as to become Napoleon.b
C. They don't feel happy due to the little things they have.
D. They'll never do any more than keeping themselves alive.
55. The writer suggests in the passage that_____
A. we should stop spending most of our time on reverie
B. people can realize something vital through dreaming
C. we should prepare ourselves to fight failure
D. people can gain more happiness from reality
【答案】51. C 52. A 53. B 54. D 55. A

细节理解题。根据第二段中This is no Land of Cockaigne: Roast 1t pigs do not run about crying, "Eat me!" Fruit does not fall from the trees into our mouths.可知，现实生活可不是安乐乡：烤猪不会跑来跑去哭喊着“吃我吧!”果实不会从树上掉到我们嘴里。故安乐乡是不劳而获之地，故选B。

阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题
Since it never occurred to anybody at the school to provide the services of an interpreter,I had to sit in the front row so that I could read the teacher's lips. Classroom discussions were virtually impossible to follow because I couldn't hear what was being said around the room.In a vain effort to keep up with them,I was always asking whoever happened to be sitting next to me what was being said. Eventually,I got tired of watching everyone shrug their shoulders indifferently and rolling their eyes.I began to pretend that I knew what was going on.Fitting in was so important to me that every time the kids laughed,I laughed along even though I felt muddle-headed most of the time.
Luckily then fate threw me light.
On one sunny afternoon,my teacher,Mrs.Jordan,asked the class a question.I read her lips from my front-row seat and immediately raised my hand.I couldn't believe it-despite my fears,I felt incredibly confident because-for once-I was sure I had the right answer.But,when she called on me,I was suddenly afraid. Here was an opportunity to impress the powerful teacher and show her I was worthy of her love.I didn't want to blow it.I took a deep breath and nervously answered her question.
Her explosive response shocked all of us.She enthusiastically stepped her right foot on the floor,pointing directly at me.With sparkling eyes and a wide smile she cried,“THAT'S RIGHT,STEPHEN!”
For the first time in my young life,I felt like an instant star.My heart burst with pride.My confidence soared.It was amazing what a great effect the simple three-word phrase delivered with incredible enthusiasm had on my young life. THAT'S RIGHT,STEPHEN!It got me to think that I would make a place for myself in this world no matter how many obstacles I had to overcome.From that day,my grades and speech improved dramatically and my peers suddenly looked at me with new respect.

【答案】Hi, Chris,
I learned from the forum that you have traveled to several different countries with the help of translation APPs. But you are wondering whether we need to learn a foreign language in the future.
In my opinion, it is necessary for us to learn foreign languages. First of all, translation APPs also have shortcomings. For example, it is not only inaccurate, but also it is not timely enough. There are also some situations in which translation APPs are not available. In addition, mastering a foreign language also has many advantages. By learning a foreign language well, we can not only communicate freely but also feel its cultural charm.
So I think it is necessary for us to learn foreign languages.
Yours,
Li Jin

【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查主谓一致。句意：规律运动配合适当的饮食，从长远来看对我们的健康有益。在主谓一致中，along with采取就远原则，即谓语动词的单复数取决于regular exercise，故谓语用第三人称单数，主语与动词之间为主动关系。故选C。

【详解】考查同位语从句。句意：小组活动可以帮助孩子们获得团队精神对取得更多成就至关重要的观念。此处是同位语从句，从句句子成分齐全，应使用只起连接作用、无实意的that引导。故选A。
【点睛】同位语从句的学习是英语学习者都要过的一关，虽然有些难，但小编为大家整理了与同位语从句相关的语法知识，首先，我们从引导词讲起：引导同位语从句的词语通常有连词that，whether，连接代词和连接副词等。
1. 由that引导
We heard the news that our team had won. 我们听到消息说我们队赢了。
注意：在某些名词（如demand, wish, suggestion, resolution等）后面的同位语从句要用虚拟语气。如：
They expressed the wish that she accept the award. 他们表示希望她接受这笔奖金。
There was a suggestion that Brown should be dropped from the team.有一项建议是布朗应该离队。
2. 由whether引导
There is some doubt whether he will come. 他是否会来还不一定。
We are not investigating the question whether he is trustworthy. 我们不是在调查他是否可以信任的问题。
注意：whether 可引导同位语从句，但if不能引导同位语从句。
3. 由连接代词引导
Have you any idea what time it starts? 你知道什么时候开始吗？
Then I had no idea what a casino was.当时我不知道赌场是什么样的地方。
4. 由连接副词引导
I have no idea when he will come back. 我不知道他什么时候回来。
It is a question how he did it. 那是一个他如何做的问题。
He had no idea why she left. 他不知道她为什么离开。
You have no idea how worried I was! 你不知道我多着急
如本题设空处引导同位语从句，从句句子成分齐全，应使用只起连接作用、无实意的that引导。故选A。
14.____to the students at home, the textbooks enabled them to study more efficiently.
A. Distributing B. Having distributed
C. Being distributed D. Distributed
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：课本被分发给家里的学生，使他们能更有效地学习。分析句子结构可知distribute在句中作非谓语动词，与逻辑主语textbooks构成被动关系，故用过去分词形式，故排除A/B选项；C选项Being distributed表示“正在被……”，句子没有体现动作正在进行，与前后语境不符。故选D。
15.— Here you are.You can do it by six o'clock.
—By six o'clock?______！I'm not superman.
A. Beats me B. Allow me C. Lend me a hand D. Give me a break
【答案】D
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查情景交际。---给你。你可以在六点前做完。--- 6点钟之前?让我休息一下吧!我又不是超人。A. Beats me我不知道; B. Allow me让我试试; C. Lend me a hand 帮我一下；D. Give me a break让我休息一下。根据“I'm not superman.”可知，我又不是超人，需要休息一下。故选D项。

Scientists say they’ve developed a system using machine learning to predict when and where lighting will strike.The research was led by engineers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland.
European researchers have estimated that between 6,000 and 24,000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year. The strikes can also cause power outages, destroy property, damage electrical equipment and start forest fires. For these reasons, climate scientists have long sought to develop methods to predict and control lightning. In the United States and other places, ground-based sensing devices are used to identify strikes as they happen. But, no system has been created to effectively predict lightning.
The system tested in the experiments used a combination of data from weather stations and machine learning methods. The researchers developed a prediction model that was trained to recognize weather conditions that were likely to cause lightning.
The model was created with data collected over a 12-year period from 12 Swiss weather stations in cities and mountain areas. The data related to four main surface conditions: air pressure, air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed.
The atmospheric, data was placed into a machine learning algorithm (算法), which compared it to records of lightning strikes. Researchers say the algorithm was then able to learn the conditions under which lightning happens.
Amirhossein Mostajabi is a PhD student at the institute who led the development of the method. He said, “current systems for gathering such data are slow and complex and require costly collection equipment like radar or satellites.”
“Our method uses data that can be obtained from any weather station,” Mostajabi said. “This will improve data collection in very remote areas not covered by radar and satellite or in places where communication systems have been cut,” he added.
The researchers plan to keep developing the technology in partnership with a European effort that aims to create a lightning protection system. The effort is called the European Laser Lightning Rod project.
40. Why have climate scientists tried to predict and control lighting?
A. To collect relative data.
B. To reduce the destruction lightning has been causing.
C. To create a scientific system.
D. To do research in relation to machine learning.
41. The four mentioned surface conditions include all the following EXCEPT________.
A. air pollution
B. wind speed
C. relative humidity
D. air temperature
42. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A. Lighting.
B. The system being tested.
C. The atmospheric data.
D. The machine learning algorithm.
43. What can we learn about Mostajabi from the passage?
A. He developed the method and the system himself.
B. He thinks the current systems are too slow and simple.
C. He is a professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.
D. He believes their system does much better in data collection.
44. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
A. Lightning Causes Huge World Wide Damage.
B. Scientists Test Systems to Predict Lightning.
C. Machine Learning Has Made New Breakthrough.
D. A New Approach Has Improved Data Collection.
【答案】40. B 41. A 42. C 43. D 44. B
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家们开发出的一种系统，利用机器学习能力有效地预测闪电，以减少闪电袭击带来的危害和损失。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“...that between 6,000 and 24,000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year. The strikes can also cause power outages, destroy property, damage electrical equipment and start forest fires. For these reasons，climate scientists have long sought to develop methods to predict and control lightning.(世界各地每年有6,000至24,000人死于闪电。闪电袭击还可能导致停电、破坏财产、损坏电气设备和引发森林火灾)”可知，科协家们想预测、控制闪电是因为想找到办法，以减少闪电所带来的危害和损失。故选B项。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The data related to four main surface conditions: air pressure, air temperature, relative humidity and wind speed.”可知，与四个主要表面条件有关的数据有气压、空气温度、相对湿度和风速，没有提到空气污染。故选A项。
【42题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段“The atmospheric data was placed into a machine learning algorithm (算法), which compared it to records of lightning strikes.(将大气数据输入到机器学习计算法中，随后计算法会将这些数据与闪电袭击记录进行比较)”可以推测，it指代上一句中的the atmospheric data。故选C项。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。第六段中提到“current systems for gathering such data are slow and complex and require costly collection equipment like radar or satellites”可知，Mostajabi认为目前收集此类数据的系统缓慢而复杂，需要昂贵的雷达或卫星等收集设备；第七段中提到“Our method uses data that can be obtained from any weather station…This will improve data collection in very remote areas not covered by radar and satellite or in places where communication systems have been cut”可知，Mostajabi认为他们这种方法使用的数据可以从任何气象站获得，这将改善雷达和卫星未覆盖的非常偏远地区或通信系统被切断的地方的数据收集。因此可以推断，Mostajabi相信他们的系统在数据收集方面比原来的做得更好。故选D项。
【44题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第1段讲到：科学家们开发出的一种系统有效地预测闪电。后又提到这个预测系统减少闪电袭击带来的危害和损失以及它的作用。由此可知，Scientists Test Systems to Predict Lightning.(科学家测试系统来预测闪电)能够概述文章大意。故选B项。
C
Dad and I loved baseball and hated sleep. One midsummer dawn when I was nine, we drove to the local park with our baseballs, gloves, and Yankees caps.
“If you thought night baseball was a thrill, just wait,” Dad told me. “Morning air carries the ball like you’ve never seen.”
He was right. Our fastballs charged faster and landed more lightly. The echoes of our catches popped as the sun rose over the dew-sprinkled fields.
The park was all ours for about two hours. Then a young mother pushed her stroller toward us. When she neared, dad politely leaned-over the stroller, waved, and gave the baby his best smile.
The mother stared at him for a second, and then rushed away.
Dad covered his mouth with his hand and walked to the car. “Let’s go,” he said. “I’m not feeling well.”
A month earlier, Bell’s palsy(贝尔氏神经麻痹）had struck Dad, paralyzing the right side of his face. His smile, which once eased the pain of playground cuts and burst forth was gone.
As I slumped in the car, I began suspecting that our sunrise, park visit wasn’t about watching daylight lift around us. This was his effort to avoid stares.
After that day, Dad spent more time indoors and no longer wanted to play catch.
For Bell’s palsy suffers, most recover in several weeks. Other cases take a few months to heal. But after nine weeks of therapy, the doctor admitted she couldn’t help Dad.
Dad coped through humor. He occasionally grabbed erasable markers and drew an even-sided wide smile across his face. Other times, he practiced his Elvis impersonation, joking that his curled lips allowed him to perfect his performance of “Hound Dog”.
By the time I entered fourth grade that September, dad could blink his right eye and speak clearly again.But his smile still hadn’t returned.So I made a secret vow I would abstain from smiles of any kind.
Nothing about fourth grade made this easy. Classmates were both old enough to laugh about pop culture and young enough to appreciate jokes. Kids called me Frowny the Dwarf.(I was three foot ten.) Teachers accompanied me into hallways, asking what was wrong. Breaking the promise I had made myself was tempting, but I couldn’t let Dad not smile alone.
When I asked my PE coach, “What’s so great about smiling?” He made me do push-ups while the rest of the class played ball game. Then he called Dad.
I never learned what they discussed. But when I got off the school bus that afternoon, I saw Dad waiting for me, holding our gloves and ball. For the first time in months, we got in the family car and went to the park for a catch.
“It’s been too long,” he said.
Roughly a half-dozen fathers and sons lined the field with gloved arms in the air.
Dad couldn’t smile, but he beamed, and so did I. Sundown came quickly. The field’s white lights glowed, and everyone else left. But dad and I threw everything from curve balls to folly floaters into the night. We had catching up to do.
45. Why did Dad choose to play baseballs one summer dawn?
A. They could perform better in the morning.
B. Morning air was more suitable for playing baseball.
C. He tried to escape others attention to his face.
D. The park was empty and they could enjoy themselves
46. The underlined phrase “abstain from” in Paragraph 12 means_______.
A. seek for B. give up
C. recover from D. break into
47. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 13?
A. The boy lost his ability to smile.
B. The boy couldn’t appreciate pop culture
C. The boy must have suffered many wrongs.
D. The boy tried his best to make Father smile.
48. Why did the father accompany his son to the park for a catch that night?
A. He had made a complete recovery.
B. He thought night baseball was a thrill.
C He was instructed by the PE coach to do so."
D. He intended his son to return to normal
49. Which of the following can best describe the author’s father?

The recent widespread interest in all branches of psychology has accustomed us to accepting an idea which,when first offered,seemed laughable:We all,at some level,spend most of the time on reverie(幻想）。We dream either consciously or unconsciously,awake or asleep,of a situation in which we feel we should be happier than we are in real life.Occasionally some childish ideas of happiness or success break out in to confuse or prevent us from living an adult life.Sometimes the dream is refusing to leave the safe shelter of the nursery,where all wants were met as soon as felt,where warmth and food and love were given freely and unearned.As Emerson wrote,"We do not believe there is any force in today to match or recreate that beautiful yesterday.We linger in(徘徊）the ruins of the old tent where once we had bread and shelter."To some extent this is true of all of us,but less true of the happy and successful adult than of others.
At other times,funnily enough,the life-wasting reverie is about success:The mild man is Napoleon or the ugly woman is a charming singer.If reality never broke in upon such reverie,the dreamer might be happier than if he were to find himself in a position to realize some part of it.Such reverie is in itself compensation for a life of dull routine.But,the world being what it is,the dreamer must live,for part of his time at least,in the cold atmosphere of fact.This is no Land of Cockaigne:Roast 1t pigs do not run about crying,"Eat me!"Fruit does not fall from the trees into our mouths..
The deeply rooted dreamer will struggle only just as much as he needs,and no more.He will do anything half-heartedly to get his bread and butter.Then,when his daily task is over,he will be hack to his dreams again,whether he realizes it or not. He succeeds at only one thing:in clearing away a little space,gaining each day a few hours of free time,for just one purpose-to go on wasting his life.But his
dream is happy.It is,for him,a true compensation for his failure in every other relation,and so he continues in it.Yet,since after all happiness is the true goal,he believes that the smallest success in reverie brings with it more happiness.
However,it is important to remember that failure is real,for otherwise we will not prepare ourselves to fight it.
51. People's spending most of the time on reverie is something that
A. was laughed at by people in the past

C. psychologists are very interested in
D. psychologists have widely accepted
52. People who are living in reverie

阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题
Since it never occurred to anybody at the school to provide the services of an interpreter,I had to sit in the front row so that I could read the teacher's lips. Classroom discussions were virtually impossible to follow because I couldn't hear what was being said around the room.In a vain effort to keep up with them,I was always asking whoever happened to be sitting next to me what was being said. Eventually,I got tired of watching everyone shrug their shoulders indifferently and rolling their eyes.I began to pretend that I knew what was going on.Fitting in was so important to me that every time the kids laughed,I laughed along even though I felt muddle-headed most of the time.
Luckily then fate threw me light.
On one sunny afternoon,my teacher,Mrs.Jordan,asked the class a question.I read her lips from my front-row seat and immediately raised my hand.I couldn't believe it-despite my fears,I felt incredibly confident because-for once-I was sure I had the right answer.But,when she called on me,I was suddenly afraid. Here was an opportunity to impress the powerful teacher and show her I was worthy of her love.I didn't want to blow it.I took a deep breath and nervously answered her question.
Her explosive response shocked all of us.She enthusiastically stepped her right foot on the floor,pointing directly at me.With sparkling eyes and a wide smile she cried,“THAT'S RIGHT,STEPHEN!”
For the first time in my young life,I felt like an instant star.My heart burst with pride.My confidence soared.It was amazing what a great effect the simple three-word phrase delivered with incredible enthusiasm had on my young life. THAT'S RIGHT,STEPHEN!It got me to think that I would make a place for myself in this world no matter how many obstacles I had to overcome.From that day,my grades and speech improved dramatically and my peers suddenly looked at me with new respect.

【答案】Hi, Chris,
I learned from the forum that you have traveled to several different countries with the help of translation APPs. But you are wondering whether we need to learn a foreign language in the future.
In my opinion, it is necessary for us to learn foreign languages. First of all, translation APPs also have shortcomings. For example, it is not only inaccurate, but also it is not timely enough. There are also some situations in which translation APPs are not available. In addition, mastering a foreign language also has many advantages. By learning a foreign language well, we can not only communicate freely but also feel its cultural charm.
So I think it is necessary for us to learn foreign languages.
Yours,
Li Jin
