20. What sort of exams do British children have to take?
A. Nation-wide standard exams. B. Local exams. C. School set tests.
【答案】18. B 19. B 20. A
【解析】
【原文】Let me begin by saying thatahthe history and culture of these two countriesGreat Britain and the United Statesseem to be similar in many ways, but ahnot in others. In the field of education, for example, the school systems of these two English-speaking countries are quite different.
Let's look at the matter of examinations.
In England they are standard. That is, students all over the country take the same examination. Most children begin school at five, you seeand study the basics for about eight years then, if they decide to go on, they select certain subjects and study for these nation-wide standard exams. This process ends at about age 16, except for those who want to enter universities. These students mustah, study for yet more difficult examinations, known in England as the "A Levels".
As you can see, these national examinations are very important to British studentsbut in the United States there are none oh, of course we have other kinds of tests that are important but I mean there are no nationally set examinations that determine whether students can graduate from our public schools. Each local school system has its own standards.
Generally speaking, there are twelve grades in the American system. Each grade takes one year so children who begin the first grade at the age of six usually graduate when they are about seventeen. If they want to go on to college they have to write and find out what the entrance requirements are, because each college and university is different.
第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分 35 分)
第一节(共 10 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 25 分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C 和D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
NASA’s (美国宇航局的) newly announced space tourism program is possibly the biggest mistake in the agency’s history.
Beginning as early as 2020, NASA will offer visits to the International Space Station for $35,000 per night, not including transportation, to pretty much anyone who can pass a physical.
The reason this is a mistake, and a big one, is that NASA has worked for generations to create an image of astronauts as extraordinarily skilled, highly trained, courageous heroes. For example, NASA invites grade schools to participate in creating experiments that are carried on the space station. The astronauts talk to kids from space, sending a message that if you study, work hard and learn math and science, you may reach these heights, too.
According to one report, Las Vegas-based Bigelow Aerospace is making plans to haul four tourists at a time to the space station on SpaceX rockets. U.S. taxpayers forked over a hundred billion dollars to build the International Space Station. It would be nice to try to preserve the image of it as an inspirational achievement, instead of turning it into a flying Howard Johnson’s.
NASA’s press release about the space tourism program tries to cast it as a partnership with the private sector to “provide expanded opportunities” at the space station to “manufacture, market and promote commercial products and services.” But it also states that one goal is “quantifying NASA’s long-term demand for activities in low-Earth orbit.”
The space station has been costing U.S. taxpayers between $1.5 billion and $3 billion each year. If it’s perceived as a private Disneyland for the top tax bracket, public support for the entire space program could be at risk.
But worse, we will have degraded what once inspired us. Sometimes a nation needs stars in its eyes.
21. What is NASA’s space tourism program?
A. To invite students to attend their experiments.
B. To send visitors to the space station.
C. To run a restaurant in the space station.
D. To build a Disneyland in the space station.
22. Why does the writer view the space tourism program as a big mistake?
A. It may influence the science experiment negatively.
B. It will cost people a lot of money.
C. It is too dangerous for visitors.
D. It may destroy the image of astronauts.
23. What does the underlined word “stars” refer to?
A. Planets. B. Satellites. C. Wealthy tourists. D. Astronauts.
【答案】21. B 22. D 23. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国航天局的新的旅游计划,最早在2020年,只要支付足够的钱以及健康状况允许,普通人将可以登上国际空间站。作者认为这是一个极大的错误。因为在美国,宇航员是一种英雄的形象,是青少年努力学习的榜样。此举将大大削弱宇航员的形象。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中Beginning as early as 2020, NASA will offer visits to the International Space Station for $35,000 per night, not including transportation, to pretty much anyone who can pass a physical.(早在2020年,NASA提出,对于健康情况允许的几乎任何人,只要支付35000美金,不包含交通费,就可以在国际空间站过一晚。)可知,NASA的太空旅游项目是将游客送上空间站。故选B。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段首句The reason this is a mistake, and a big one, is that NASA has worked for generations to create an image of astronauts as extraordinarily skilled, highly trained, courageous heroes. (太空旅游项目是一个很大的错误的原因是NASA通过几代人的努力将宇航员的形象塑造为非常熟练的、训练有素的并且勇敢的英雄。)以及第四段最后一句It would be nice to try to preserve the image of it as an inspirational achievement(努力将宇航员的形象保持为鼓舞人心的成就是比较好的)可推断,这个计划最大的错误就是破坏了宇航员的形象。故选D。
【23题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第四段最后一句(继续将宇航员的形象保持为鼓舞人心的成就是比较好的)以及画线前一句But worse, we will have degraded what once inspired us.(但更糟糕的是,我们会贬低曾经激励我们的东西)可知,宇航员在人们心中一直是值得尊敬和学习的,我们贬低激励我们的东西是糟糕的。所以画线单词所在句子意思为一个民族需要这样的值得学习的人,也就是指需要这样享有盛誉的宇航员。故选D。
B
Most dog owners have probably been puzzled waiting for their dog to do its business. Instead of just finding a soft area of grass to go number two, they make a whole ritual(仪式) out of it, spinning in a circle before finally squatting(蹲下). Luckily, the ultimate pet owners’ question may finally have been answered.
A few theories have circulated about why dogs might circle before pooping, and most are similar to the reasons they spin before lying down. Trampling around in a circle would flatten the grass around, which would keep tall blades(叶片) from trapping their waste. Another explanation could be that they’re scanning for snakes and predators before they become completely occupied.
But Czech researcher Hynek Burda didn’t quite buy into those theories. Dogs evolved from wolves, which didn’t need to worry much about tall grass. And if they were scanning their environment, keeping still to listen and sniff would be more effective than giving the area a quick once-over. Instead, Burda suggested that dogs spin to get a feel for the Earth’s magnetic pull.
The Earth has a magnetic field around it protecting it from radiation from space, and some animals seem to use it to get a sense of where its North and South poles are. For instance, it’s how birds know which way to migrate. In 2013, Burda published a study in the journal Frontiers in Zoology suggesting dogs have a strong internal compass, too. He and his team spent two years watching 70 dogs poop and pee and recording which way they faced and how strong the magnetic(磁的) field was.
As it turns out, when the magnetic field was calm, dogs preferred to poop facing either north or south.
The pattern couldn’t explain why dogs like facing the Earth’s poles, but the researchers think it might help them remember where they marked their territory.
If they can remember which way they were facing, they might find it easier to find that spot again. So before you roll your eyes when your dog takes ages to do his business, remember that Fido might just be getting scientific about his potty spot.
24. What is the ritual for dogs when they do their business?
A. They poop twice daily.
B. They circle before pooping.
C. They usually make their owner impatient.
D. They just find a soft area to poop.
25. According to Burda, dogs ________.
A. look for snakes and predators before pooping
B. spin to flatten the grass
C. sniff around to scan the environment
D. circle to face a certain direction
26 The writer cites “birds” in order to show ________.
A. how magic they are
B. dogs also can migrate
C. dogs have inner compass
D. the differences between birds and dogs
27. It might be concluded that dogs ________.
A. have good reasons to take ages to do his business
B. are more scientific than human beings
C. are sensitive to radiation from space
D. often play tricks with their owners
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。为什么狗在大便之前要花费很多时间转圈找地方?最新研究表明,狗和鸟类一样有一个体内“指南针”。转圈的目的是定位,对地球磁场感应使得狗可以对准北极或者南极上“二号”。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段中第二句话Instead of just finding a soft area of grass to go number two, they make a whole ritual(仪式) out of it, spinning in a circle before finally squatting(蹲下).可知,狗大便时不仅是要找一块软软的草地,还要做一个有仪式感的动作,在蹲下之前要转个圈。do business, go number two 和poop都是指的同一回事,指狗狗大便。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段最后一句Instead, Burda suggested that dogs spin to get a feel for the Earth’s magnetic pull.可知,Burda认为狗狗绕圈是为了感受地球磁场,由第五段可知,当地球磁场平静的时候,狗狗会朝着北极或南极大便。也就是说狗狗绕圈是为了面向一个方向。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。鸟迁徙是第四段采用的一个例子,例子一般都是来证明中心的。由第四段“The Earth has a magnetic field around it protecting it from radiation from space, and some animals seem to use it to get a sense of where its North and South poles are”可知,本句为中心句,地球有一个磁场保护它不受外空的辐射,一些动物就是依靠它来判断南极北极在哪儿。结合本文论述的狗狗大便的话题,所以这个例子是为了证明狗狗也有内部指南针,能感受到南北极。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段中最后一句 So before you roll your eyes when your dog takes ages to do his business, remember that Fido might just be getting scientific about his potty spot.可知,主人在狗长时间转圈的时候不要翻白眼(不耐烦),因为他们正在寻找“科学”的位置,也许为了下次能够更容易找到这个地方,也许是上一段提到的更好地标记地盘,总之,他们有理由这么做。故选A。
【易错分析】A项“他们大便两次”文章没有提到;根据第一段第一句Most dog owners have probably been puzzled waiting for their dog to do its business.(大多数狗主人等待他的狗大便时,可能一直困惑。),故C项“他们通常会让主人不耐烦”错误;根据第一段的Instead of just finding a soft area of grass to go number two, they make a whole ritual(仪式) out of it, spinning in a circle before finally squatting(蹲下). (他们不只是找到一片柔软的草地,他们做一个完整的仪式,在最后蹲下来之前转一圈。),故D项“他们只是找到一片柔软的地方”是错误。根据第一段中第二句话Instead of just finding a soft area of grass to go number two, they make a whole ritual(仪式) out of it, spinning in a circle before finally squatting(蹲下).可知,狗大便时不仅是要找一块软软的草地,还要做一个有仪式感的动作,在蹲下之前要转个圈。do business, go number two 和poop都是指的同一回事,指狗狗大便。故本题选B。
C
You may have heard that humans only use ten percent of their brain, and that if you could unlock the rest of your brainpower, you could do so much more. You could become a super genius, or acquire psychic powers like mind reading.
This “ten-percent myth” has inspired many references in the cultural imagination. In the 2014 movie Lucy, for example, a woman develops godlike powers thanks to drugs that release the previously inaccessible 90 percent of her brain.
Contrary to the ten-percent myth, however, scientists have shown that humans use their entire brain throughout each day.
Over the years, brain scientists have shown that different parts of the brain are responsible for specific functions, whether it’s recognizing colors or problem solving. Contrary to the ten-percent myth, scientists have proven that every part of the brain is integral for our daily functioning.
Research has yet to find a brain area that is completely inactive. Even studies that measure activity at the level of single neurons(神经元) have not revealed any inactive areas of the brain.
Many brain imaging studies that measure brain activity when a person is doing a specific task show how different parts of the brain work together. For example, while you are reading this text on your smartphone, some parts of your brain, including those responsible for vision and reading comprehension, will be more active.
A more direct counter to the ten-percent myth lies in individuals who have suffered brain damage – like through a stroke(中风)– and what they can no longer do, or do as well, as a result of that damage. If the ten percent myth is true, then damage to many parts of our brain shouldn’t affect your daily functioning. Studies have shown that damaging a very small part of the brain may have devastating consequences.
If someone experiences damage to Broca’s area(布罗卡氏区), for example, they can understand language but can’t speak fluently.
In one highly publicized case, a woman in Florida permanently lost her “capacity for thoughts, perceptions, memories, and emotions that are the very essence of being human” when a lack of oxygen destroyed half of her brain.
28. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The ten percent myth is not true.
B. Brain scientists have a long way to go.
C. Human brain is much more powerful than we imagine.
D. All parts of the brain are equally important.
29. Why does the writer mention the movie “Lucy”?
A. To show the power of women.
B. To introduce an interesting story.
C. To fight against the ten percent myth.
D. To show the influence of ten percent myth.
30. It can be inferred that Broca’s area is responsible for ________.
A. listening B. writing C. speaking D. reading
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章反驳了一个长期以来大家相信的谬论,即人脑只被利用了百分之十。科学研究表明,人脑的每一部分都参与到日常活动中。没有发现任何一部分是静止不动的。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一二段提出了人脑只被利用了百分之十这个谬论以及它带给人们的影响。由第三段Contrary to the ten-percent myth, however, scientists have shown that humans use their entire brain throughout each day可知,然而,与10%的神话相反,科学家已经证明人类每天都在使用他们的整个大脑。后面的段落都是为了反驳这个谬论。所以整篇文章就是为了证明人脑只被利用了百分之十这个谬论是错误的。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。提到这部电影的名称就是为了说明段落主题句This “ten-percent myth” has inspired many references in the cultural imagination.(这个人脑只被利用了百分之十的谬论在文化界有很多人参考),也就是作者提到电影《露西》是为了说明这个谬论对人们的影响。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。由倒数第二段“If someone experiences damage to Broca’s area(布罗卡氏区), for example, they can understand language but can’t speak fluently.”可知,如果一个人布罗卡氏区受损,他们只能理解语言但是不能流利地说出来,由此可推知,布罗卡氏区负责说话的能力。故选C。
【点睛】主旨大意题是篇章阅读一个主要的考察方式,也是高考阅读中每年的必考题。主旨大意题解题技巧是不要被文章细节所干扰。一般有两种方式解题:一是看首尾段,根据首尾段内容总结主题思想;二是看每段段首句,根据所有段首句总结主题思想。本文第一题就是主旨大意题,首先根据说明文的问题推断,主旨一般会在文章首段或前几段提出,我们确定主旨后,再分析篇章结构,确定下文是通过一定的方法论证主旨的,这样可以二次确定文章主旨选的对不对。具体解题过程参看详解,同学们需要抓住的是这个解题思路。
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。
___31___ While these compulsive(无法控制的) actions may appear to be irrational or pointless, and may even result in negative consequences, the individual experiencing the compulsion feels unable to stop him or herself.
The compulsive behavior can be a physical act, like hand washing, or a mental activity, like counting objects. When an otherwise harmless behavior becomes so consuming that it negatively impacts oneself or others, it may be a symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)(强迫症).
___32___The former is an overwhelming desire to do something, while an addiction is a physical or chemical dependence on a substance or behavior. People with addictions will continue their addictive behavior, even when they understand that doing so is harmful to themselves and others. ___33___
Unlike compulsions and addictions, which are acted out uncontrollably, habits are actions that are repeated regularly and automatically.
Habits typically develop over time through a natural process called “habituation,” during which repetitive actions that must be consciously initiated eventually become subconscious and are carried out habitually.
While there are good habits and bad, unhealthy habits, any habit can become a compulsion or even an addiction. ___34___ For example, the good habit of exercising regularly can become an unhealthy compulsion or addiction when done to excess.
Common habits often develop into addictions when they result in a chemical dependency, as in the cases of smoking. The habit of having a glass of beer with dinner, for example, becomes an addiction when the desire to drink turns into a physical or emotional need to drink.
___35___While we can choose to add good, healthy habits to our routines, we can also choose to break old harmful habits.
A. A compulsion is different from an addiction.
B. It currently affects about 1 in 40 adults and 1 in 100 children in the U.S.
C. Some of these behaviors are visible actions while others are mental behaviors.
D. In other words, you really can have “too much of a good thing.”
E. Compulsive behaviors are actions that a person feels “compelled” or driven to do over and over again.
F. Alcoholism, smoking, and gambling are perhaps the most common examples of addictions.
G. Of course, the key difference between a compulsive behavior and a habit is the ability to choose to do them or not.
【答案】31. E 32. A
33. F 34. D
35. G
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇选句填空。文章说明了强迫症是什么,强迫症与上瘾有什么区别以及强迫症与习惯的区别与关系。
【31题详解】
空格位于文章首句。由第二句中的“these compulsive(无法控制的) actions”可知,首句中一定会出现一些无法控制的行为。选项E中的“Compulsive behaviors”符合语境,且选项E使用下定义的方法,在首句中引出文章谈论的对象,也是符合语篇结构的。故选E。
【32题详解】
空格位于段首。由空格后第二句中的“the former…while an addiction…”可知,上句是将两个概念进行对比。选项A(强迫行为与上瘾是不同的。)是将a compulsion与an addiction进行对比,且an addiction与下句中的 an addiction呼应,a compulsion与下句中的an overwhelming desire to do something呼应,故选A。
【33题详解】
空格位于段尾。是对上一句的举例说明。选项F中的the most common examples of addictions与上句中的“People with addictions will…”呼应,故选F。
【34题详解】
空格位于段中。由空格后的For example可知,例子是来证明空格处观点的。举例的内容为(经常锻炼的好习惯当做的过度的时候也能变成不健康的强迫性行为或者成瘾),选项D(换句话说,你真的可能在一件好事情上过度)与这一例子的中心符合,故选D。
【35题详解】
空格位于段首。空格后内容为:我们可以在日常生活中增加好的健康的习惯,也可以选择打破旧的有害的习惯。选项G中的“the ability to choose to do them or not(选择做与不做的能力)”与空格后句子中的两个choose呼应,故选G。
【点睛】七选五题目主要考查学生综合的英语逻辑思维能力。一篇好的短文,不仅在内容上要前后一致,而且还要语篇结构清晰,上下文逻辑意义严谨。内容的前后一致体现在段内及语篇内话题的自然过渡。语篇结构主要体现为:文章是总分结构,还是按时间或空间顺序发展的,还是辩证三段论的编排的。逻辑意义的严谨最主要的可以通过代词、连词和副词等形式来体现。例如本文中的第一题主要通过代词these的指代关系解题,第五题主要通过主旨句与后边句子之间谓语动词的呼应解题。这两题明显体现着句子之间的逻辑关系。第二题主要通过句式解题,第三题是给出观点选例子,第四题是给出例子选观点,解题方法是一致的。具体解题步骤参看详解,这里罗列出来的七选五的解题技巧的类型同学们要积累,便于需要时能及时发现用什么技巧解题准确度最高。

【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在一场龙卷风之后,Peggy回到废墟中的第一件事情就是找到一本《圣经》。因为和其他家庭一样,圣经中夹着家庭成员的照片、女儿的头发以及其他有纪念意义的东西。在志愿者的帮助下,书被找到而且完整无缺。这算得上是一个奇迹。
【36题详解】
考查语境判断之其它线索。句意:前一分钟,Peggy和她的丈夫还正在看房子外边被风吹着的树。A. day一天;B. minute分钟;C. year年;D. night晚上。此空格与下一分钟(the next)形成对比关系,形容龙卷风来得之快,故选B。
【37题详解】
考查词义判断之词义辨析。句意同上。A. cutting切割,凿成;B. watching观看;C. planting播种;D. drawing画画。根据句意,只能看被风吹着的树,故选B。
【38题详解】
考查语境判断之其它线索。句意:下一分钟他们周围就已经全是破碎的窗户上掉下来的碎玻璃。A. broken破碎的;B. beautiful美丽的;C. designed精心设计的;D. charming迷人的。从后一句房顶被掀开,墙倒塌可以推测窗户破裂。故选A。
【39题详解】
考查语境判断之其它线索。句意:龙卷风过后,很多邻居才把他们送到医院。A. passed过去;B. arrived到达;C. formed形成;D. hit打击,袭击。龙卷风过后,大家才敢出门,故选A。
【40题详解】
考查语境判断之其它线索。句意:Lewis说我以为我们要死了。A. leave离开;B. remember记得;C. die死;D. lose失去。由上句中很多个邻居把他们送到医院,可以推测他们伤的很重,所以他们以为自己要死了。故选C。
【41题详解】
考查语境判断之对应原文。句意:在六月那个糟糕的夜晚后的第三天这对夫妇回到他们的房产处。A. stuck卡住;B. aimed目标;C. returned返回;D. referred参考。此空格与第五段首句“when she returned to the house”中的returned呼应,故选C。
【42题详解】
考查语境判断之其它线索。句意:很明显房子剩下的部分也需要被拆除。A. lucky幸运的;B. impossible不可能的;C. mad疯狂的;D. clear清楚的,明显的。前文已经交代房顶没了,墙也倒了,所以很明显废墟得拆除。故选D。
【43题详解】
考查语境判断之逻辑关系。句意:Lewis在让拆房子之前,要找到一个东西——她家族的《圣经》。A. before在……之前;B. after在……之后;C. when在……时候;D. until直到。找东西一定是在拆房子之前找,故选A。
【44题详解】
考查语境判断之其它线索。句意:35年前Lewis买了这本圣经,那时她的婚姻刚刚开始。A. life生活;B. marriage婚姻;C. work工作;D. college大学。根据上下文,这本书里面夹着的都是和家庭有关的物件,所以自从结婚以来比较符合逻辑。故选B。
【45题详解】
考查语境判断之其它线索。句意:跟很多人一样,她用它保存家庭的历史。A. children’s孩子的;B. mother’s妈妈的;C. father’s父亲的;D. family’s家庭的。后面提示不仅有女儿的,还有叔叔的纪念品,所以用家庭一词。故选D。
【46题详解】
考查语境判断之其它线索。句意:书里有几十年的老照片,女儿的一缕头发,甚至还有她叔叔从朝鲜战场带回来的围巾。A. still仍然;B. even甚至;C. such这样的;D. so因此。从老照片到女儿到叔叔之间是逐层递进的关系,故选B。
【47题详解】
考查语境判断之其它线索。句意:圣经是Lewis回家后第一件要找的东西。A. took away拿走;B. prepared for准备;C. handed in上交;D. looked for寻找。由下句中的find可知,这里指的是Lewis想要找的东西。故选D。
【48题详解】
考查语境判断之逻辑关系。句意:这本书早就不在原来的地方了。由后边的(它之前在卧室梳妆台上,但是现在,梳妆台都不见了)可知,空格处强调的是它的地点。where引导表语从句,表示“……的地方”。故选A。
【49题详解】
考查语境判断之其它线索。句意:它之前在卧室梳妆台上,但是现在,梳妆台都不见了。 A. at朝;B. beside在……旁边;C. on在……上;D. in在……里。on top of…意为“在……之上”,为固定搭配,符合句意。故选C。
【50题详解】
考查语境判断之其它线索。句意:当两名志愿者出现来帮这对夫妇挖掘的时候,Lewis告诉他们,你们要是能找到东西,一定先要找到我的圣经。A. slowed down慢下来;B. showed up出现;C. got off下车;D. turned on打开。志愿者肯定是自己出现的,故选B。
【51题详解】
考查语境判断之其它线索。句意:经过一个小时的搜索。A. recalling回忆;B. guiding指导;C. searching搜寻;D. treating处理。此空格与上段中的find呼应,故选C。
【52题详解】
考查语境判断之其它线索。句意:使人目瞪口呆地,很多家里的书都被损坏的辨认不出模样,这本圣经却一直完好无损。A. words言语;B. dreams梦;C. imagination想象;D. recognition识别。由于是形容书,所以只能说书辨认不出来了。故选D。
【53题详解】
考查语境判断之感情色彩。句意:尽管这本圣经在雨里呆了好几天,却完好无损。Lewis说“我彻底惊呆了”。A. seldom很少;B. completely完全;C. generally普遍地;D. mostly主要地。这里形容让Lewis彻底吃惊地样子,故选B。
【54题详解】
考查语境判断之其它线索。句意:我以为它已经永远消失了,它是一个奇迹。A. accident事故;B. chance机会;C. mystery神秘事物;D. miracle奇迹。根据上文 “while many books inside the home had been destroyed beyond 52 , the Bible was still intact(完好无损),”可知,很多家里的书都被损坏的辨认不出模样,这本圣经却一直完好无损,尽管在雨里呆了好几天。可推断是一个奇迹。故选D。
【55题详解】
考查语境判断之忠于原文。句意:虽然每一本好书都讲述了灾难性天气和不太可能生存下来的故事,但这本书却实实在在经历了一番。A. retold重述;B. painted油漆;C. wanted想要;D. lived生存。这里强调书在灾难中存活了下来,故选D。
【易错分析】A项life“生活”,如果选此项,表示早在35年前,她的生活开始时候,说明她刚出生,不可能就买了这本圣经;C项work“工作”,表示35年前是她工作的开始,下文提到她用这本圣经保存生活历史,包括旧照片,女儿的头发等,因此不可能是工作开始的时候;D项college“大学”,表示大学开始的时候,更不符合语境,不可能大学刚开始就生育了女儿,故D项错误。故44题选B。
第二节(共 10 小题;每小题 1.5 分,满分 15 分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Cards and digital(数字的) technologies ___56___(kill) off cash slowly, but is it a cause for concern? Not ___57___(necessary). Here are some ways of making the most of digital finance.
Cash is no longer king. Over recent years fewer and fewer transactions have been made with cash. The most recent figures show coins and notes are used just 34% of ___58___ time, down from 63% a decade ago. And usage ___59___(predict) to fall to just 10% in 15 years.
Instead we’re paying with cards and digital technologies. Some of this is down to user choice, with contactless cards and smartphones making spending ___60___(fast) and more convenient.
But it’s also being forced upon us. Some retailers are refusing physical money as they can avoid the high bank charges levied(征收) at them for ___61___(handle) cash. Meanwhile it’s harder to get your hands on notes as cash machines and ___62___(bank) disappear from the high street. And these are trends which are likely ___63___(increase) in the coming years.
This could be bad news if you still primarily use cash, ___64___ that’s how you pay your bills or how you budget. For some, cash is just what you know. For _____65_____, cash is a necessity—especially when going digital is the alternative.
As a result this move towards cashless society makes many uneasy.
【答案】56. are killing
57. necessarily
58. the 59. is predicted
60. faster 61. handling
62. banks 63. to increase
64. whether
65. others
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了银行卡和数字科技正在慢慢取代现金,阐述了这种趋势对人们生活的影响。
【56题详解】
考查现在进行时与主谓一致。句意:银行卡和数字科技正在慢慢取代现金。这句话缺少谓语动词,且根据句意,表示现阶段存在的状态,应使用现在进行时。主语“Cards and digital technologies”为复数形式,所以谓语为are killing。故填are killing。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意:但是这是否令人担忧?没必要。空格处单词修饰前边整个句子,应用副词形式。故填necessarily。
【58题详解】
考查冠词。句意:最近的数据显示钱只占到交易时间的34%。time特指需要使用金钱交易的时间,需要用定冠词修饰。故填the。
【59题详解】
考查一般现在时的被动语态。句意:并且,金钱的使用被估计15年内将会降到10%。这句话与上一句都是数据显示的结果,上一句使用的一般现在时,所以这句话也应使用一般现在时。Usage作主语,与predict是被动关系,应使用被动语态,且谓语动词用单数形式。故填is predicted。
【60题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:非接触式卡片和手机使得消费更加快捷更加方便。and前后连接两个并列成份,由more convenient可知,空格处应该也填形容词比较级。故填faster。
【61题详解】
考查动名词。句意:一些零售商拒绝使用纸币因为他们能避免由于处理现金而带来的银行征收的费用。空格后有宾语cash,且位于介词for之后,所以应使用动名词作宾语。故填handling。
【62题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:现在取钱也越来越难因为大街上的取款机和银行正在慢慢消失。and前后连接两个并列的成份,bank“银行”是可数名词,根据语境,此处说的不止一家银行,空格处应填名词的复数形式。故填banks。
【63题详解】
考查不定式。句意:接下来几年中这些趋势有可能继续加强。be likely to do sth.意为“有可能做某事”,为固定搭配。故填to increase。
【64题详解】
考查连词。句意:如果你还使用现金的话这可能是一个坏消息,无论你是使用现金付钱还是使用现金做预算。分析句子可知,whetheror引导让步状语从句,翻译为“无论……还是……”,故填whether。
【65题详解】
考查不定代词。句意:对于一些人,现金仅仅是你知道的一个东西。对于另一些人,现金是必需品。由some(一些)可知,空格处填others(另一些人)。故填others。

第二节:概要写作(满分 25 分)
67.阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
Whether you’re looking for a quick hotel in the city or a isolated resort in the tropics, where you choose to stay can make or break your vacation experience. But even the most seasoned travelers may not know the difference between the two main types of homes-away-from-home. Besides their first letter, is there any real difference between hotels and motels?
These two types of lodging(宾馆) have the same basic purpose—a place for travelers to sleep—but there are plenty of features that set them apart. For instance, they came to be for different reasons, and at very different times. The word “hotel” dates back to the 1600s and comes from a French word, hotel. That word, just like the English one, referred to a place that provides lodging, meals, entertainment, and other services to travelers.
Motels, on the other hand, are a much more recent—and pretty much exclusively American—lodging option. This word dates back to the 1920s and combines the words “hotel” and “motor.” As America’s major highway system developed, so did motels, filling the need for roadside stops for motorists traveling cross-country.
There are also some smaller differences that can help you figure out which type of place you’re in. Hotels tend to be built for longer stays, while motels are geared more for one- or two-night stops along a journey. Because of this, hotels are much more likely to have offerings like lounges, gyms, and entertainment.
So, in the end, it comes down to what you want from your trip and from your lodging. Want the place you stay to be just as much a part of your travel experience as anything else? Opt for a hotel. Just need a place to pop in and out of to shower and sleep? A motel might be the better choice.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Motels and hotels have real differences other than their first letters in spelling(要点1). Although serving the same purpose of offering travelers a place to sleep, they have different features(要点2). Take their origin as an example, hotels appear much earlier than motels, which stem from the necessity to cater for/accommodate highway motorists(要点3). Another slight difference is that hotels are intended for longer stay and motels for shorter stops(要点4). It’s up to the travelers to decide which one they prefer(要点5)
.

【答案】18. B 19. B 20. A
【解析】
【原文】Let me begin by saying thatahthe history and culture of these two countriesGreat Britain and the United Statesseem to be similar in many ways, but ahnot in others. In the field of education, for example, the school systems of these two English-speaking countries are quite different.
Let's look at the matter of examinations.
In England they are standard. That is, students all over the country take the same examination. Most children begin school at five, you seeand study the basics for about eight years then, if they decide to go on, they select certain subjects and study for these nation-wide standard exams. This process ends at about age 16, except for those who want to enter universities. These students mustah, study for yet more difficult examinations, known in England as the "A Levels".
As you can see, these national examinations are very important to British studentsbut in the United States there are none oh, of course we have other kinds of tests that are important but I mean there are no nationally set examinations that determine whether students can graduate from our public schools. Each local school system has its own standards.
Generally speaking, there are twelve grades in the American system. Each grade takes one year so children who begin the first grade at the age of six usually graduate when they are about seventeen. If they want to go on to college they have to write and find out what the entrance requirements are, because each college and university is different.
第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分 35 分)
第一节(共 10 小题;每小题 2.5 分,满分 25 分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C 和D 四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
NASA’s (美国宇航局的) newly announced space tourism program is possibly the biggest mistake in the agency’s history.
Beginning as early as 2020, NASA will offer visits to the International Space Station for $35,000 per night, not including transportation, to pretty much anyone who can pass a physical.
The reason this is a mistake, and a big one, is that NASA has worked for generations to create an image of astronauts as extraordinarily skilled, highly trained, courageous heroes. For example, NASA invites grade schools to participate in creating experiments that are carried on the space station. The astronauts talk to kids from space, sending a message that if you study, work hard and learn math and science, you may reach these heights, too.
According to one report, Las Vegas-based Bigelow Aerospace is making plans to haul four tourists at a time to the space station on SpaceX rockets. U.S. taxpayers forked over a hundred billion dollars to build the International Space Station. It would be nice to try to preserve the image of it as an inspirational achievement, instead of turning it into a flying Howard Johnson’s.
NASA’s press release about the space tourism program tries to cast it as a partnership with the private sector to “provide expanded opportunities” at the space station to “manufacture, market and promote commercial products and services.” But it also states that one goal is “quantifying NASA’s long-term demand for activities in low-Earth orbit.”
The space station has been costing U.S. taxpayers between $1.5 billion and $3 billion each year. If it’s perceived as a private Disneyland for the top tax bracket, public support for the entire space program could be at risk.
But worse, we will have degraded what once inspired us. Sometimes a nation needs stars in its eyes.
21. What is NASA’s space tourism program?
A. To invite students to attend their experiments.
B. To send visitors to the space station.
C. To run a restaurant in the space station.
D. To build a Disneyland in the space station.
22. Why does the writer view the space tourism program as a big mistake?
A. It may influence the science experiment negatively.
B. It will cost people a lot of money.
C. It is too dangerous for visitors.
D. It may destroy the image of astronauts.
23. What does the underlined word “stars” refer to?
A. Planets. B. Satellites. C. Wealthy tourists. D. Astronauts.
【答案】21. B 22. D 23. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国航天局的新的旅游计划,最早在2020年,只要支付足够的钱以及健康状况允许,普通人将可以登上国际空间站。作者认为这是一个极大的错误。因为在美国,宇航员是一种英雄的形象,是青少年努力学习的榜样。此举将大大削弱宇航员的形象。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中Beginning as early as 2020, NASA will offer visits to the International Space Station for $35,000 per night, not including transportation, to pretty much anyone who can pass a physical.(早在2020年,NASA提出,对于健康情况允许的几乎任何人,只要支付35000美金,不包含交通费,就可以在国际空间站过一晚。)可知,NASA的太空旅游项目是将游客送上空间站。故选B。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段首句The reason this is a mistake, and a big one, is that NASA has worked for generations to create an image of astronauts as extraordinarily skilled, highly trained, courageous heroes. (太空旅游项目是一个很大的错误的原因是NASA通过几代人的努力将宇航员的形象塑造为非常熟练的、训练有素的并且勇敢的英雄。)以及第四段最后一句It would be nice to try to preserve the image of it as an inspirational achievement(努力将宇航员的形象保持为鼓舞人心的成就是比较好的)可推断,这个计划最大的错误就是破坏了宇航员的形象。故选D。
【23题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第四段最后一句(继续将宇航员的形象保持为鼓舞人心的成就是比较好的)以及画线前一句But worse, we will have degraded what once inspired us.(但更糟糕的是,我们会贬低曾经激励我们的东西)可知,宇航员在人们心中一直是值得尊敬和学习的,我们贬低激励我们的东西是糟糕的。所以画线单词所在句子意思为一个民族需要这样的值得学习的人,也就是指需要这样享有盛誉的宇航员。故选D。
B
Most dog owners have probably been puzzled waiting for their dog to do its business. Instead of just finding a soft area of grass to go number two, they make a whole ritual(仪式) out of it, spinning in a circle before finally squatting(蹲下). Luckily, the ultimate pet owners’ question may finally have been answered.
A few theories have circulated about why dogs might circle before pooping, and most are similar to the reasons they spin before lying down. Trampling around in a circle would flatten the grass around, which would keep tall blades(叶片) from trapping their waste. Another explanation could be that they’re scanning for snakes and predators before they become completely occupied.
But Czech researcher Hynek Burda didn’t quite buy into those theories. Dogs evolved from wolves, which didn’t need to worry much about tall grass. And if they were scanning their environment, keeping still to listen and sniff would be more effective than giving the area a quick once-over. Instead, Burda suggested that dogs spin to get a feel for the Earth’s magnetic pull.
The Earth has a magnetic field around it protecting it from radiation from space, and some animals seem to use it to get a sense of where its North and South poles are. For instance, it’s how birds know which way to migrate. In 2013, Burda published a study in the journal Frontiers in Zoology suggesting dogs have a strong internal compass, too. He and his team spent two years watching 70 dogs poop and pee and recording which way they faced and how strong the magnetic(磁的) field was.
As it turns out, when the magnetic field was calm, dogs preferred to poop facing either north or south.
The pattern couldn’t explain why dogs like facing the Earth’s poles, but the researchers think it might help them remember where they marked their territory.
If they can remember which way they were facing, they might find it easier to find that spot again. So before you roll your eyes when your dog takes ages to do his business, remember that Fido might just be getting scientific about his potty spot.
24. What is the ritual for dogs when they do their business?
A. They poop twice daily.
B. They circle before pooping.
C. They usually make their owner impatient.
D. They just find a soft area to poop.
25. According to Burda, dogs ________.
A. look for snakes and predators before pooping
B. spin to flatten the grass
C. sniff around to scan the environment
D. circle to face a certain direction
26 The writer cites “birds” in order to show ________.
A. how magic they are
B. dogs also can migrate
C. dogs have inner compass
D. the differences between birds and dogs
27. It might be concluded that dogs ________.
A. have good reasons to take ages to do his business
B. are more scientific than human beings
C. are sensitive to radiation from space
D. often play tricks with their owners
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. A

这是一篇说明文。为什么狗在大便之前要花费很多时间转圈找地方?最新研究表明,狗和鸟类一样有一个体内“指南针”。转圈的目的是定位,对地球磁场感应使得狗可以对准北极或者南极上“二号”。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段中第二句话Instead of just finding a soft area of grass to go number two, they make a whole ritual(仪式) out of it, spinning in a circle before finally squatting(蹲下).可知,狗大便时不仅是要找一块软软的草地,还要做一个有仪式感的动作,在蹲下之前要转个圈。do business, go number two 和poop都是指的同一回事,指狗狗大便。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段最后一句Instead, Burda suggested that dogs spin to get a feel for the Earth’s magnetic pull.可知,Burda认为狗狗绕圈是为了感受地球磁场,由第五段可知,当地球磁场平静的时候,狗狗会朝着北极或南极大便。也就是说狗狗绕圈是为了面向一个方向。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。鸟迁徙是第四段采用的一个例子,例子一般都是来证明中心的。由第四段“The Earth has a magnetic field around it protecting it from radiation from space, and some animals seem to use it to get a sense of where its North and South poles are”可知,本句为中心句,地球有一个磁场保护它不受外空的辐射,一些动物就是依靠它来判断南极北极在哪儿。结合本文论述的狗狗大便的话题,所以这个例子是为了证明狗狗也有内部指南针,能感受到南北极。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段中最后一句 So before you roll your eyes when your dog takes ages to do his business, remember that Fido might just be getting scientific about his potty spot.可知,主人在狗长时间转圈的时候不要翻白眼(不耐烦),因为他们正在寻找“科学”的位置,也许为了下次能够更容易找到这个地方,也许是上一段提到的更好地标记地盘,总之,他们有理由这么做。故选A。
【易错分析】A项“他们大便两次”文章没有提到;根据第一段第一句Most dog owners have probably been puzzled waiting for their dog to do its business.(大多数狗主人等待他的狗大便时,可能一直困惑。),故C项“他们通常会让主人不耐烦”错误;根据第一段的Instead of just finding a soft area of grass to go number two, they make a whole ritual(仪式) out of it, spinning in a circle before finally squatting(蹲下). (他们不只是找到一片柔软的草地,他们做一个完整的仪式,在最后蹲下来之前转一圈。),故D项“他们只是找到一片柔软的地方”是错误。根据第一段中第二句话Instead of just finding a soft area of grass to go number two, they make a whole ritual(仪式) out of it, spinning in a circle before finally squatting(蹲下).可知,狗大便时不仅是要找一块软软的草地,还要做一个有仪式感的动作,在蹲下之前要转个圈。do business, go number two 和poop都是指的同一回事,指狗狗大便。故本题选B。
C
You may have heard that humans only use ten percent of their brain, and that if you could unlock the rest of your brainpower, you could do so much more. You could become a super genius, or acquire psychic powers like mind reading.
This “ten-percent myth” has inspired many references in the cultural imagination. In the 2014 movie Lucy, for example, a woman develops godlike powers thanks to drugs that release the previously inaccessible 90 percent of her brain.
Contrary to the ten-percent myth, however, scientists have shown that humans use their entire brain throughout each day.
Over the years, brain scientists have shown that different parts of the brain are responsible for specific functions, whether it’s recognizing colors or problem solving. Contrary to the ten-percent myth, scientists have proven that every part of the brain is integral for our daily functioning.
Research has yet to find a brain area that is completely inactive. Even studies that measure activity at the level of single neurons(神经元) have not revealed any inactive areas of the brain.
Many brain imaging studies that measure brain activity when a person is doing a specific task show how different parts of the brain work together. For example, while you are reading this text on your smartphone, some parts of your brain, including those responsible for vision and reading comprehension, will be more active.
A more direct counter to the ten-percent myth lies in individuals who have suffered brain damage – like through a stroke(中风)– and what they can no longer do, or do as well, as a result of that damage. If the ten percent myth is true, then damage to many parts of our brain shouldn’t affect your daily functioning. Studies have shown that damaging a very small part of the brain may have devastating consequences.
If someone experiences damage to Broca’s area(布罗卡氏区), for example, they can understand language but can’t speak fluently.
In one highly publicized case, a woman in Florida permanently lost her “capacity for thoughts, perceptions, memories, and emotions that are the very essence of being human” when a lack of oxygen destroyed half of her brain.
28. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The ten percent myth is not true.
B. Brain scientists have a long way to go.
C. Human brain is much more powerful than we imagine.
D. All parts of the brain are equally important.
29. Why does the writer mention the movie “Lucy”?
A. To show the power of women.
B. To introduce an interesting story.
C. To fight against the ten percent myth.
D. To show the influence of ten percent myth.
30. It can be inferred that Broca’s area is responsible for ________.
A. listening B. writing C. speaking D. reading
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C
【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章反驳了一个长期以来大家相信的谬论,即人脑只被利用了百分之十。科学研究表明,人脑的每一部分都参与到日常活动中。没有发现任何一部分是静止不动的。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一二段提出了人脑只被利用了百分之十这个谬论以及它带给人们的影响。由第三段Contrary to the ten-percent myth, however, scientists have shown that humans use their entire brain throughout each day可知,然而,与10%的神话相反,科学家已经证明人类每天都在使用他们的整个大脑。后面的段落都是为了反驳这个谬论。所以整篇文章就是为了证明人脑只被利用了百分之十这个谬论是错误的。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。提到这部电影的名称就是为了说明段落主题句This “ten-percent myth” has inspired many references in the cultural imagination.(这个人脑只被利用了百分之十的谬论在文化界有很多人参考),也就是作者提到电影《露西》是为了说明这个谬论对人们的影响。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。由倒数第二段“If someone experiences damage to Broca’s area(布罗卡氏区), for example, they can understand language but can’t speak fluently.”可知,如果一个人布罗卡氏区受损,他们只能理解语言但是不能流利地说出来,由此可推知,布罗卡氏区负责说话的能力。故选C。
【点睛】主旨大意题是篇章阅读一个主要的考察方式,也是高考阅读中每年的必考题。主旨大意题解题技巧是不要被文章细节所干扰。一般有两种方式解题:一是看首尾段,根据首尾段内容总结主题思想;二是看每段段首句,根据所有段首句总结主题思想。本文第一题就是主旨大意题,首先根据说明文的问题推断,主旨一般会在文章首段或前几段提出,我们确定主旨后,再分析篇章结构,确定下文是通过一定的方法论证主旨的,这样可以二次确定文章主旨选的对不对。具体解题过程参看详解,同学们需要抓住的是这个解题思路。
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。
___31___ While these compulsive(无法控制的) actions may appear to be irrational or pointless, and may even result in negative consequences, the individual experiencing the compulsion feels unable to stop him or herself.
The compulsive behavior can be a physical act, like hand washing, or a mental activity, like counting objects. When an otherwise harmless behavior becomes so consuming that it negatively impacts oneself or others, it may be a symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)(强迫症).
___32___The former is an overwhelming desire to do something, while an addiction is a physical or chemical dependence on a substance or behavior. People with addictions will continue their addictive behavior, even when they understand that doing so is harmful to themselves and others. ___33___
Unlike compulsions and addictions, which are acted out uncontrollably, habits are actions that are repeated regularly and automatically.
Habits typically develop over time through a natural process called “habituation,” during which repetitive actions that must be consciously initiated eventually become subconscious and are carried out habitually.
While there are good habits and bad, unhealthy habits, any habit can become a compulsion or even an addiction. ___34___ For example, the good habit of exercising regularly can become an unhealthy compulsion or addiction when done to excess.
Common habits often develop into addictions when they result in a chemical dependency, as in the cases of smoking. The habit of having a glass of beer with dinner, for example, becomes an addiction when the desire to drink turns into a physical or emotional need to drink.
___35___While we can choose to add good, healthy habits to our routines, we can also choose to break old harmful habits.
A. A compulsion is different from an addiction.
B. It currently affects about 1 in 40 adults and 1 in 100 children in the U.S.
C. Some of these behaviors are visible actions while others are mental behaviors.
D. In other words, you really can have “too much of a good thing.”
E. Compulsive behaviors are actions that a person feels “compelled” or driven to do over and over again.
F. Alcoholism, smoking, and gambling are perhaps the most common examples of addictions.
G. Of course, the key difference between a compulsive behavior and a habit is the ability to choose to do them or not.
【答案】31. E 32. A
33. F 34. D
35. G
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇选句填空。文章说明了强迫症是什么,强迫症与上瘾有什么区别以及强迫症与习惯的区别与关系。
【31题详解】
空格位于文章首句。由第二句中的“these compulsive(无法控制的) actions”可知,首句中一定会出现一些无法控制的行为。选项E中的“Compulsive behaviors”符合语境,且选项E使用下定义的方法,在首句中引出文章谈论的对象,也是符合语篇结构的。故选E。
【32题详解】
空格位于段首。由空格后第二句中的“the former…while an addiction…”可知,上句是将两个概念进行对比。选项A(强迫行为与上瘾是不同的。)是将a compulsion与an addiction进行对比,且an addiction与下句中的 an addiction呼应,a compulsion与下句中的an overwhelming desire to do something呼应,故选A。
【33题详解】
空格位于段尾。是对上一句的举例说明。选项F中的the most common examples of addictions与上句中的“People with addictions will…”呼应,故选F。
【34题详解】
空格位于段中。由空格后的For example可知,例子是来证明空格处观点的。举例的内容为(经常锻炼的好习惯当做的过度的时候也能变成不健康的强迫性行为或者成瘾),选项D(换句话说,你真的可能在一件好事情上过度)与这一例子的中心符合,故选D。
【35题详解】
空格位于段首。空格后内容为:我们可以在日常生活中增加好的健康的习惯,也可以选择打破旧的有害的习惯。选项G中的“the ability to choose to do them or not(选择做与不做的能力)”与空格后句子中的两个choose呼应,故选G。
【点睛】七选五题目主要考查学生综合的英语逻辑思维能力。一篇好的短文,不仅在内容上要前后一致,而且还要语篇结构清晰,上下文逻辑意义严谨。内容的前后一致体现在段内及语篇内话题的自然过渡。语篇结构主要体现为:文章是总分结构,还是按时间或空间顺序发展的,还是辩证三段论的编排的。逻辑意义的严谨最主要的可以通过代词、连词和副词等形式来体现。例如本文中的第一题主要通过代词these的指代关系解题,第五题主要通过主旨句与后边句子之间谓语动词的呼应解题。这两题明显体现着句子之间的逻辑关系。第二题主要通过句式解题,第三题是给出观点选例子,第四题是给出例子选观点,解题方法是一致的。具体解题步骤参看详解,这里罗列出来的七选五的解题技巧的类型同学们要积累,便于需要时能及时发现用什么技巧解题准确度最高。

考查语境判断之感情色彩。句意:尽管这本圣经在雨里呆了好几天,却完好无损。Lewis说“我彻底惊呆了”。A. seldom很少;B. completely完全;C. generally普遍地;D. mostly主要地。这里形容让Lewis彻底吃惊地样子,故选B。
【54题详解】
考查语境判断之其它线索。句意:我以为它已经永远消失了,它是一个奇迹。A. accident事故;B. chance机会;C. mystery神秘事物;D. miracle奇迹。根据上文 “while many books inside the home had been destroyed beyond 52 , the Bible was still intact(完好无损),”可知,很多家里的书都被损坏的辨认不出模样,这本圣经却一直完好无损,尽管在雨里呆了好几天。可推断是一个奇迹。故选D。
【55题详解】
考查语境判断之忠于原文。句意:虽然每一本好书都讲述了灾难性天气和不太可能生存下来的故事,但这本书却实实在在经历了一番。A. retold重述;B. painted油漆;C. wanted想要;D. lived生存。这里强调书在灾难中存活了下来,故选D。
【易错分析】A项life“生活”,如果选此项,表示早在35年前,她的生活开始时候,说明她刚出生,不可能就买了这本圣经;C项work“工作”,表示35年前是她工作的开始,下文提到她用这本圣经保存生活历史,包括旧照片,女儿的头发等,因此不可能是工作开始的时候;D项college“大学”,表示大学开始的时候,更不符合语境,不可能大学刚开始就生育了女儿,故D项错误。故44题选B。

Cards and digital(数字的) technologies ___56___(kill) off cash slowly, but is it a cause for concern? Not ___57___(necessary). Here are some ways of making the most of digital finance.
Cash is no longer king. Over recent years fewer and fewer transactions have been made with cash. The most recent figures show coins and notes are used just 34% of ___58___ time, down from 63% a decade ago. And usage ___59___(predict) to fall to just 10% in 15 years.
Instead we’re paying with cards and digital technologies. Some of this is down to user choice, with contactless cards and smartphones making spending ___60___(fast) and more convenient.
But it’s also being forced upon us. Some retailers are refusing physical money as they can avoid the high bank charges levied(征收) at them for ___61___(handle) cash. Meanwhile it’s harder to get your hands on notes as cash machines and ___62___(bank) disappear from the high street. And these are trends which are likely ___63___(increase) in the coming years.
This could be bad news if you still primarily use cash, ___64___ that’s how you pay your bills or how you budget. For some, cash is just what you know. For _____65_____, cash is a necessity—especially when going digital is the alternative.

65. others
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了银行卡和数字科技正在慢慢取代现金,阐述了这种趋势对人们生活的影响。
【56题详解】
考查现在进行时与主谓一致。句意:银行卡和数字科技正在慢慢取代现金。这句话缺少谓语动词,且根据句意,表示现阶段存在的状态,应使用现在进行时。主语“Cards and digital technologies”为复数形式,所以谓语为are killing。故填are killing。
【57题详解】
考查副词。句意:但是这是否令人担忧?没必要。空格处单词修饰前边整个句子,应用副词形式。故填necessarily。
【58题详解】
考查冠词。句意:最近的数据显示钱只占到交易时间的34%。time特指需要使用金钱交易的时间,需要用定冠词修饰。故填the。
【59题详解】
考查一般现在时的被动语态。句意:并且,金钱的使用被估计15年内将会降到10%。这句话与上一句都是数据显示的结果,上一句使用的一般现在时,所以这句话也应使用一般现在时。Usage作主语,与predict是被动关系,应使用被动语态,且谓语动词用单数形式。故填is predicted。
【60题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:非接触式卡片和手机使得消费更加快捷更加方便。and前后连接两个并列成份,由more convenient可知,空格处应该也填形容词比较级。故填faster。
【61题详解】
考查动名词。句意:一些零售商拒绝使用纸币因为他们能避免由于处理现金而带来的银行征收的费用。空格后有宾语cash,且位于介词for之后,所以应使用动名词作宾语。故填handling。
【62题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:现在取钱也越来越难因为大街上的取款机和银行正在慢慢消失。and前后连接两个并列的成份,bank“银行”是可数名词,根据语境,此处说的不止一家银行,空格处应填名词的复数形式。故填banks。
【63题详解】
考查不定式。句意:接下来几年中这些趋势有可能继续加强。be likely to do sth.意为“有可能做某事”,为固定搭配。故填to increase。
【64题详解】
考查连词。句意:如果你还使用现金的话这可能是一个坏消息,无论你是使用现金付钱还是使用现金做预算。分析句子可知,whetheror引导让步状语从句,翻译为“无论……还是……”,故填whether。
【65题详解】
考查不定代词。句意:对于一些人,现金仅仅是你知道的一个东西。对于另一些人,现金是必需品。由some(一些)可知,空格处填others(另一些人)。故填others。

第二节:概要写作(满分 25 分)
67.阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。
Whether you’re looking for a quick hotel in the city or a isolated resort in the tropics, where you choose to stay can make or break your vacation experience. But even the most seasoned travelers may not know the difference between the two main types of homes-away-from-home. Besides their first letter, is there any real difference between hotels and motels?
These two types of lodging(宾馆) have the same basic purpose—a place for travelers to sleep—but there are plenty of features that set them apart. For instance, they came to be for different reasons, and at very different times. The word “hotel” dates back to the 1600s and comes from a French word, hotel. That word, just like the English one, referred to a place that provides lodging, meals, entertainment, and other services to travelers.
Motels, on the other hand, are a much more recent—and pretty much exclusively American—lodging option. This word dates back to the 1920s and combines the words “hotel” and “motor.” As America’s major highway system developed, so did motels, filling the need for roadside stops for motorists traveling cross-country.
There are also some smaller differences that can help you figure out which type of place you’re in. Hotels tend to be built for longer stays, while motels are geared more for one- or two-night stops along a journey. Because of this, hotels are much more likely to have offerings like lounges, gyms, and entertainment.
So, in the end, it comes down to what you want from your trip and from your lodging. Want the place you stay to be just as much a part of your travel experience as anything else? Opt for a hotel. Just need a place to pop in and out of to shower and sleep? A motel might be the better choice.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Motels and hotels have real differences other than their first letters in spelling(要点1). Although serving the same purpose of offering travelers a place to sleep, they have different features(要点2). Take their origin as an example, hotels appear much earlier than motels, which stem from the necessity to cater for/accommodate highway motorists(要点3). Another slight difference is that hotels are intended for longer stay and motels for shorter stops(要点4). It’s up to the travelers to decide which one they prefer(要点5)
