【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Thoughts from Brazil 中的“As Daniel Emmerson talks to learners and teachers of English in Sao Paulo，Brazil，he discovers that many of them have found for themselves the principle of learning by doing and have readily adapted it to the Internet era”．可知在圣保罗通过做来学习的原则被学习者广泛接受，分析选项可知，D项符合题意，故选D。
【点睛】文章主题和中心思想的阐述往往需要大量细节信息的支持，这些细节对于理解全文内容至关重要，同时也是归纳和概括文章中心思想的基础。细节理解是指原文提到了某事，某种现象或理论，题干一般针对原文具体叙述的事情本身提问。命题人往往会要求考生根据不同的要求阅读文章，以获得某些特定的信息，或准确地寻求所需的细节，并对细节进行直接或间接辨认和理解。文章细节的理解可以细化为：（1）一一对应型。答案与题目在表达形式和意义上直接吻合，（2）语言转述型。这是一类间接事实细节题，答案与题目在意义上运用了词义之间的转述关系，即正确选项是原文有关词语和句子的另一种表达。如第3小题。（3）语意理解型。这是一类深层事实细节理解题，答案与题目之间存在着一定的逻辑联系，这种联系需要建立在事实的基础上通过上、下文来进行判断、分析、归纳和整合，才能得出正确答案。（4）是非辨别型。这是一类综合事实细节题，出题形式常常是“三正一误”(三项正确，只有一项不符合原文内容或“三误一正”。（5）事实排序型。这是一类运用多项事实进行排序的事实细节题，要求根据动作发生的先后顺序、时间顺序或者句子之间的逻辑关系，找出时间发生，发展的正确顺序。细节理解题有时考查的并不是单一的信息，而是多处信息的整合。如第1小题，根据Encounters in the UK （17 minutes）中的最后一句“It’s going to be a great experience, not only in terms of learning English, but in learning about life.”；Insights from China中的“Insights from China” …committed to learning English”； Stories from Morocco 中的“Staff and learners discuss the advantages and challenges of English language learning in Morocco. …the similarities of English to French and Spanish.”和Thoughts from Brazil （17 minutes）中的“Thoughts from Brazil also looks at modern trends in learning English”可知学习英语视频节目是一系列短的视频节目，故选C。解答此类“综合”信息细节题时，一定要全面捕捉相关信息，进行综合分析、归纳，切忌根据“一面之词”草率地作出结论。
B
Maybe it's because it was our first purchase as homeowners. The salesman must have spotted just how green we were, so he began persuading. And soon he led us to a classic leather chair. All these years later, I remember he used words like rich and handsome, the thing every living room needed.
We believed him. So we bought that chair — just less than $100, a great deal in the 1970s for a young couple!
How we loved that chair! It always occupied a place of honor in our various living rooms, moving with us from our first tiny house to our beloved new house.
Somehow, conversations were better on that chair, and life was more fun around it. Three daughters spilled their secrets on it. Old friends seemed to be attracted by it on those wonderful occasions. Crazy as it sounds, that leather chair seemed to have — well, powers. All for good.
At first, we didn't really care that the leather was showing signs of wear or that it had lost its sheen (光泽). But in our most recent move, when the chair was moved in our new living room, it suddenly looked terribly lonely sitting close to newly painted walls and a couple of shiny new tables.
My husband and I tried but still we couldn't ignore the rough spots. Our chair had a skin disease. Even our adult kids raised eyebrows, urging us to at least remove the chair to some dark comer of the room. Neither of us could imagine such a retirement for it.
So we had an inspired idea. We'd call in an upholsterer (修理工) to give our old chair a whole new life. Our friend Joe studied the chair and then took out a simple leather conditioner. He explained that although it wouldn't work miracles, it would definitely get our weary chair looking younger again. It certainly doesn't look new, but its seat and back are shining, and some of its deeper wrinkles have lightened.
Best of all, it's back in the living room, looking like a wise old friend to the furniture around it. And, yes, there it will stay.
Because some things, like some people, just deserve a happy old age.
4. How did the salesman persuade the author into buying the chair?
A. By thinking highly of the author.
B. By saying that the author was green.
C. By describing how great the chair was.
D. By comparing the chair with others.
5. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A. Sweet memories with the chair.
B. Various functions of the chair.
C. People's comments on the chair.
D. Family activities and parties of friends.
6 Why did the author finally decide to repair the chair?
A. Because he was persuaded by Joe.
B. Because he didn't have enough money.
C. Because it showed signs of hardness.
D. Because it couldn't match his new house.
7. What can we learn from the text?
A. East or west, home is best. B. From saving comes having.
C. It is never too late to mend. D. Old friends and wine are best.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. D
【解析】
文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是一把一直跟随作者一家的椅子，它从崭新变得老旧，从小房子里到大房子里，再到他们决定翻修它的经过。由此感叹，一些东西，就像一些人，值得拥有一个快乐的晚年。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段And soon he led us to a classic leather chair. All these years later, I remember he used words like rich and handsome, the thing every living room needed.可知，销售员把我们带到一把经典的皮革椅子那儿。这些年，作者一直记得他用得的词语，比如富贵、帅气、每个歌厅都需要等。所以销售员是用通过描述椅子的出众来劝作者够买的。故选C。
【5题详解】

推理判断题。由第五段But in our most recent move, when the chair was moved in our new living room, it suddenly looked terribly lonely sitting close to newly painted walls and a couple of shiny new tables.可知，在最近一次搬家后，当椅子被搬到新的起居室后，在新墙壁和闪亮的新家具中，它看起来非常孤单。由第六段Even our adult kids raised eyebrows, urging us to at least remove the chair to some dark comer of the room. Neither of us could imagine such a retirement for it.可知，作者成年的孩子都皱眉了，督促他至少把椅子搬到黑暗的角落去，而他们都不想椅子就这样退休。由此可知，因为椅子老旧不合时宜了，他们才最终决定要修理它。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段Because some things, like some people, just deserve a happy old age.可知，一些东西，就像一些人，值得拥有一个快乐的晚年。由此可知，陈酒味醇，老友情深。故选D。
C
Internet firms should help deal with the threat of terrorism or face terror tax , the security minister has said. Ben Wallace said such profiteers as Facebook and Google were failing to play their part, forcing the government to spend hundreds of millions to police internet extremism. The minister added, “If they continue to be less than co-operative, we should look at things like tax as a way compensating for their inaction. Because content is not taken down as quickly as they could do, we have to spend millions. WhatsApp, owned by Facebook, was turning the internet into a violent space.”
Mr Wallace did not give more details about a possible terror tax, but it would probably take the form of a windfall tax. The minister also accused internet companies of putting profit before public safety.
Simon Milner, Facebook’s UK policy director, said: “Mr Wallace is wrong to say that we put profit before safety, especially in the fight against terrorism. We’ve invested millions of pounds in people and technology to identify and remove terrorist content.” YouTube, which is owned by Alphabet, Google’s parent company, said: “Violent extremism is a complex problem and addressing it is a critical challenge for us all. We are committed to being part of the solution and we are doing more every day to deal with these issues. “Over the course of 2017 we have made significant progress through investing in machine learning technology, recruiting more reviewers, building partnerships with experts and collaboration with other companies”.
Anthony Glees, an intelligence expert at Buckingham University, told The Times: “What the government is proposing makes excellent theoretical sense when it comes to making us more secure from the appalling things that are broadcast by the service providers.” He added: “But in practice it may not be enough, because we are dealing with Goliaths here and the United Kingdom is increasingly becoming a lone David.”
8. What do we know from Ben Wallace’s words?
A. The internet firms have been put on a terror tax.
B. The internet companies only concentrate on profit.
C. The profit of the Internet firms should be cut down.
D. The internet companies are not cooperative enough.
9. What did “they” in the first paragraph refer to?
A. internet firms B. internet extremism
C. violent spaces D. terror taxes
10. Anthony Glees thought the government’s behavior was ______.
A. unpractical B. positive
C unexpected D. disapproving
11. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Profit or Safety?
B. Policing Internet Extremism.
C. Internet Giants Threatened with Tax.
D. Demonstrating the Government’ Determination.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。互联网公司应该帮助应对恐怖主义的威胁或面临恐怖主义税，否则互联网巨头面临被征税。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中Ben Wallace said such profiteers as Facebook and Google were failing to play their part, forcing the government to spend hundreds of millions to police internet extremism. “Ben Wallace表示，像Facebook和谷歌这样的暴利者未能发挥他们的作用，迫使政府花费数亿美元来监管互联网极端主义。”根据Ben Wallace 的话可知，互联网公司不够合作。故选D。
【9题详解】
词义指代题。根据第一段中Internet firms should help deal with the threat of terrorism or face terror tax , the security minister has said. Ben Wallace said such profiteers as Facebook and Google were failing to play their part, forcing the government to spend hundreds of millions to police internet extremism.“安全部长表示，互联网公司应该帮助应对恐怖主义威胁，否则将面临恐怖主义税。本•华莱士表示，像Facebook和谷歌这样的暴利者未能发挥他们的作用，迫使政府花费数亿美元来监管互联网极端主义。”由此推知下文If they continue to be less than co-operative, we should look at things like tax as a way compensating for their inaction.“如果他们继续不合作，我们应该把税收等事情视为他们不作为的一种补偿。”中的they指的就是“Internet firms”，故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。 根据最后一段中He added: “But in practice it may not be enough, because we are dealing with Goliaths here and the United Kingdom is increasingly becoming a lone David.” 他补充道:“但在实践中，这可能还不够，因为我们面对的是歌利亚，而英国正日益变成一个孤独的大卫。”可知，安东尼·格雷斯认为政府的行为是不切实际的。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据整篇文章，因特网公司被征税，尤其是第一段第一句Internet firms should help deal with the threat of terrorism or face terror tax , the security minister has said.“安全部长表示，互联网公司应该帮助应对恐怖主义威胁，否则将面临恐怖主义税。”由此可知，C项Internet Giants Threatened with Tax.“互联网巨头被威胁要征税。”为最佳主题。故选C。
【点睛】代词指代题要求同学们根据语境的逻辑关系、判断画线的人称代词或指示代词在文章中指代的对象，包括考查it（指动物，无生命的事物、特定的事件或人），they/them(指代人、物、事件的复数名词)，he/she等人称代词的指代意义，以及指示代词this，that，these，those等在文章中的指代意义。本题第2小题，根据第一段中Internet firms should help deal with the threat of terrorism or face terror tax , the security minister has said. Ben Wallace said such profiteers as Facebook and Google were failing to play their part, forcing the government to spend hundreds of millions to police internet extremism.“安全部长表示，互联网公司应该帮助应对恐怖主义威胁，否则将面临恐怖主义税。本•华莱士表示，像Facebook和谷歌这样的暴利者未能发挥他们的作用，迫使政府花费数亿美元来监管互联网极端主义。”由此推知下文If they continue to be less than co-operative, we should look at things like tax as a way compensating for their inaction.“如果他们继续不合作，我们应该把税收等事情视为他们不作为的一种补偿。”中的they指的就是“Internet firms”，故选A。
D
One day, gardeners might not just hear the buzz of bees among their flowers, but the whirr of robots, too. Scientists have managed to turn an unassuming drone (无人机) into a remote-controlled pollinator (授粉媒介) by attaching horsehairs coated with a special, sticky gel to its underbelly.
Animal pollinators are needed for the reproduction of 90% of flowering plants and one third of human food crops. Chief among those are bees — but many bee populations in the United States have been in steep decline in recent decades. Thus, the decline of bees isn't just worrisome because it could disrupt ecosystems, but also because it could disrupt agriculture and economy. People have been trying to come up with replacement techniques, but none of them are especially effective yet.
Scientists have thought about using drones, but they haven't figured out how to make free-flying robot insects that can rely on their own power source without being attached to a wire. “It’s very tough work,” said senior author Eijiro Miyako, a chemist at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. His particular contribution to the field involves a gel, one he’d considered a mistake 10 years before and stuck in a storage cabinet. When it was rediscovered a decade later, it hadn’t dried up or degraded at all. “I was so surprised because it still had high viscosity,” Miyako said.
The chemist noticed that when dropped, the gel absorbed an impressive amount of dust from the floor. Miyako realized this material could be very useful for picking up pollen (花粉). He and his colleagues chose a drone and attached horsehairs to its smooth surface to mimic a bee’s fuzzy body. They coated those horsehairs in the gel, and then controlled the drones over lilies, where they would pick up the pollen from one flower and then deposit the pollen at another one, thus fertilizing it.
The scientists looked at the hairs under a scanning electron microscope and counted up the pollen grains attached to the surface and found that the drones whose horsehairs had been coated with the gel had about 10 times more pollen than those that had not been coated with the gel.
Miyako does not think such drones would replace bees altogether, but could simply help bees with their pollinating duties. There’s a lot of work to be done before that's a reality, however. Small drones will need to become more controllable and energy efficient, as well as smarter, with better GPS and artificial intelligence.
12. What does the underlined word “viscosity” in Para.3 probably mean?
A. Hardness. B. Stickiness.
C. Flexibility. D. Purity.
13. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. bees disrupt both agriculture and economy
B. scientists have invented self-powered robot insects
C bees in the United States are on the edge of extinction
D. Miyako found the special feature of the gel by chance
14. A drone works best in picking up pollen when ______.
A. its body is made like a bee’s
B. its GPS works more efficiently
C. some flowers are coated with the gel
D. horsehairs with the gel are attached to it
15. According to Eijiro Miyako, the drones ______.
A. are not yet ready for practical use
B. may eventually replace bees in the future
C. are much more efficient than bee pollinators
D. can provide a solution to economic depression
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. A
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了蜜蜂数量的减少令人担忧，因为这可能破坏生态系统，也可能破坏农业和经济。人们一直在试图想出替代技术，科学家们通过在马毛的下腹部贴上一层特殊的粘性凝胶，成功地将一种不起眼的雄蜂变成了一种遥控传粉器。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段中“When it was rediscovered a decade later, it hadn’t dried up or degraded at all.”可知，十年后被重新发现时，凝胶根本没有干枯或退化。因此Miyako惊讶的是它仍然具有很高的粘性。结合选项，故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“ His particular contribution to the field involves a gel, one he’d considered a mistake 10 years before and stuck in a storage cabinet. When it was rediscovered a decade later, it hadn’t dried up or degraded at all.”可知，Miyako是偶然间发现凝胶这种特殊特性的。结合选项，故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The scientists looked at the hairs under a scanning electron microscope and counted up the pollen grains attached to the surface and found that the drones whose horsehairs had been coated with the gel had about 10 times more pollen than those that had not been coated with the gel.”可知，科学家们在扫描电子显微镜下观察了这些毛发，并对附着在表面的花粉粒进行了计数，发现那些马毛上涂有凝胶的雄蜂的花粉量大约是没有涂有凝胶的雄蜂的10倍。结合选项，故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“ There’s a lot of work to be done before that's a reality, ”可知，在投入使用之前，还有很多工作需要做。故可知，这种无人机还未投入使用。结合选项，故选A。

Give old favorites a re-read
There is a particular kind of pleasure that comes with easing open a well-worn book, flipping through pages you have thumbed before, maybe multiple times. ____17____ It can bring you back to the time in your life when you last met those characters. You’re left with a rich reflection on who you were, who you are and where you turn for meaning and inspiration.

Give yourself permission to move on
Sometimes you just can’t get through a book — and that’s okay.

A. Get social

【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章叙述的是研究人员对冠状病毒疫苗的研究。
【36题详解】
考查一般过去时态的被动语态。句意：今年1月初，随着中国出现类似肺炎的奇怪病例，美国国立卫生研究院(National Institutes of Health)的研究人员准备寻找预防这种新疾病的疫苗。此处as引导的时间状语从句的主语cases是复数形式，和report之间是一种被动关系，再根据In the early days of January可知，这里用一般过去时态的被动语态，故填were reported。
【37题详解】
考查固定词组。句意：今年1月初，随着中国出现类似肺炎的奇怪病例，美国国立卫生研究院(National Institutes of Health)的研究人员准备寻找预防这种新疾病的疫苗。固定词组：hunt for“寻求”。故填for。
【38题详解】
考查动词不定式作目的状语。句意：澳大利亚的科学家也在研究候选疫苗，以阻止疾病的传播。此处是动词不定式作目的状语。故填to stop。
【39题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：从历史上看，疫苗一直是预防疾病的最伟大的公共卫生工具之一。根据one of+名词复数，所以此处tool用名词复数，故填tools。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意：但是，尽管新技术、基因组学的进步和全球协作的改善使研究人员得以以前所未有的速度前进，疫苗开发仍然是一个昂贵和危险的过程。此处vaccine是形容词，意思是“疫苗的”，修饰名词，且句子缺少主语，所给词develop是动词，其名词形式是development。故填development。
【41题详解】
考查表语从句。句意：这是因为疫苗必须在动物和人类身上进行广泛的测试。此处是be动词后面用because引导表语从句。故填because。
【42题详解】
考查比较级。句意：在最好的情况下，任何疫苗都需要至少一年的时间——很可能更长——才能向公众提供。此处表示很可能“更长”，所以用形容词比较级，故填longer。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：每次爆发疫情，科学家通常都要从头开始。此处是副词修饰谓语动词，所给词typical是形容词，意思是“典型的，特有的”，其副词是typically。故填typically。
【44题详解】
考查it用法。句意：在2003年非典爆发后，研究人员花了大约20个月的时间才从病毒基因组的释放中获得了用于人体试验的疫苗。固定句型：It takes sb. some time to do sth.“做某事花费某人多长时间。”此处是it作形式主语，动词不定式是真正的主语。故填it。
【45题详解】
考查过去分词作后置定语。句意：到2015年寨卡病毒爆发时，研究人员将时间缩短到了6个月。此处epidemic和cause之间是一种被动关系，是过去分词作后置定语，故填caused。

47.阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A Special Appointment
Years ago I moved to Woodland Hills to take a job in a small hospital’s emergency department. No one wanted to work on Christmas Eve, so the shift（轮班）went to me. I kissed my family goodbye and went off to spend the night in the hospital. It was a thankless job.
At 9 pm, the ambulance brought in a man in his 60s who was having a heart attack. His face was pale, and he was frightened. The whole night I did my best to save his life. Before I left in the morning to spend Christmas with my family, I stopped by to see how he was doing. It was still tough, but he had survived the night and was sleeping.
The following year I got Christmas Eve duty again. At 9 pm sharp, the ward clerk told me there was a couple who wanted to speak with me. When I approached them, the man introduced himself as Mr. Lee and said, “You probably don’t remember me, but last Christmas Eve you saved my life. Thank you for the year you gave me.” He and his wife hugged me, handed me a small gift, and left.
The following year a new doctor had joined the group, but I wanted to see if Mr. And Mrs. Lee would return. This time, I volunteered for the shift. I kept an eye on the door. Once again, at exactly 9 pm, the Lees appeared, carrying a warmly wrapped bundle. It was their new grandchild.
Mr. Lee his family and I spent 13 Christmas Eves together. In the later years the staff all knew about the story and would work to give me time with him in the break room, where we spent a half-hour each Christmas Eve.
