First, if you enjoy reading science fiction, there's an exciting new book by Alan Cooper called Shallow Earth. It takes place in the future when the earth has almost been destroyed. The main characters are a group of soldiers who are fighting to save the earth from total disaster. If you're in the mood for something romantic, there's Give Me Shelter, by Kathleen Wang. It's a historical novel set in China, and tells a story of two teenagers growing up in Shanghai in the 1930s. They decided to run away together after their families tried to stop them from seeing each other. Finally there's Jump for the Stars, a biography of one of Houston Rockets most popular players Tracy McGrady. Find out how he started his NBA career, which had the greatest effect on his life, and how he's made his fortune by doing what he loves. That's all for Book Talk this week. See you next week and keep reading!

第一节(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B. C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Guinness World Records Set by Kids
♦ The youngest club DJ
Oratilwe A J Hongwane likes putting in more efforts when playing music for a crowd. In 2012, he became the youngest club DJ—he was five when he played a one- hour set to 100 people at a bar in South Africa. Known in the business as DJ Arch Jnr, he broke the record previously held by a six-year-old in Japan.
♦The most viewed video game-unboxing video
Kids love watching someone unbox a new purchase—especially if it's something they can't get themselves. Maybe that's why more than 25 million people have watched YouTube HD. What's really cool about Evan is that he actually donates most of the toys to those in need. He also uses his popular YouTube channel to draw people's attention to worthy organizations for helping the poor.
♦The youngest drummer
The rules of Guinness World Records say a drummer must record a real song and be paid for his skills and that the drummer must give at least 20 concerts of 45 minutes or longer within five years. At the age of just four Julian Pavone met all those qualifications.
♦The fastest assembly (组装)of 10,000 Lego pieces and the longest Lego chain
A group of school kids in New Jersey went for their world records to increase public awareness about a fellow student who is suffering from a rare and deadly disease. The group put together 10,000 Lego pieces in just three hours, breaking the old one by five hours. They also set the record for the longest Lego chain, which ended up at 947 meters, beating the old record by 40.
21. Who is devoted to charity?
A. Oratilwe A J Hongwane. B. Evan.
C. DJ Arch Jnr. D. Julian Pavone.
22. What do we know about the youngest drummer?
A. He has recorded 20 real songs.
B. He gave at least 20 concerts at five.
C. He must earn a lot of money by recording.
D. He was qualified for the Guiness World Reords at four.
23. Why did the school kids set the world record?

【23题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段中的“A group of school kids in New Jersey went for their world records to increase public awareness about a fellow student who is suffering from a rare and deadly disease.(一组学生努力去创建这个世界纪录是为了提高人们对于正在遭受一种罕见的致命的疾病的同学的关注)”可知,这群学生创建世界纪录是为了帮助同学。故选A。
B
A letter to the editor complained about someone stringing toilet paper on their trees. That letter brought a flood of responses defending this act as being harmless to friends: “ It's an honor to get toilet papered", said one writer, “and good fun for teenagers."
Reading these letters brought me chuckles (轻声笑)and then tears as they woke old memories of my mother’s ninety-second year. She was seriously ill that autumn. And I watched, powerless.
A decade before, I helped her break out" of the nursing home. It was a fine place with a caring staff. But Mom didn't want skilled care: she wanted to live on her own and just needed some assistance to do so. Being in a more restrictive environment than necessary was bad for her condition. The risk paid off, and I was rewarded by seeing my mother once again enjoying her life.
Ten years later, Mom's health declined, and my care-giving duties increased. One evening, for some unexplainable reason, I invited my mother to go toilet papering!
This outing would push my mother to her physical limits. Was I making a mistake? Secretly we went to my brother's home. In his backyard, I handed Mom a roll of toilet paper. Without hesitation she shot it skyward...
Mom papered a dozen trees in four family yards that unforgettable evening. The day after our big adventure, Mom and I sent a card to each of our victim, signed “From your decorators". We laughed all the way home from the post office, like two schoolgirls.
My mother's last year was marked by physical decline. However, we shared some simple fun each day. Those light-hearted moments were like a salve (慰藉),and they are the ones I'll always remember. Toilet papering has taught us that play is powerful medicine!
24. Why did the author cry when reading the letter?
A. She was blamed for toilet papering.
B. It brought her childhood memory.
C She thought of her sick mother.
D. It was very stressful.
25. The author helped her leave the nursing home in order that ____.
A. Mom could enjoy a free life
B. Mom could get more skilled home care
C. the nursing cost could be cut down
D. they could avoid taking risk
26. What can we learn from the mother's experience of toilet papering?
A. They did some damage to four family yards.
B. They were made to apologize for their mistakes.
C. Toilet papering made her illness worsened.
D. Toilet papering brought them much pleasure.
27. What would be the best title for the text?
A. A Letter of Complaint
B. Love Between Daughter and Mother
C. The Curing Power of Toilet Papering.
D. An Unforgettable Evening in Family Yards
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章由读者来信抱怨有人在他们家树上挂满卫生纸一事,勾起了作者对母亲的思念。为了让年迈的母亲开心,作者与母亲也曾做过相似的事情。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段中的“Reading these letters brought me chuckles (轻声笑)and then tears as they woke old memories of my mother’s ninety-second year.(读者这些信件不由得让我发笑,然后泪流满面,因为它们让我想起了母亲92岁那年的一些陈旧的记忆)”可知,作者哭了的原因是她想起了她当年生病的母亲。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“A decade before, I helped her break out of the nursing home. It was a fine place with a caring staff. But Mom didn't want skilled care: she wanted to live on her own and just needed some assistance to do so. Being in a more restrictive environment than necessary was bad for her condition.(十年前,我帮妈妈离开了养老院。那个地方有很贴心的护士。但是妈妈不需要专业的照顾:她想独自生活,只需要一些帮助就可以。在一个超过需要的严格的环境中对她的情况不好。)”可知,作者帮助妈妈离开养老院是为了让妈妈过更自由的生活。故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段中的“We laughed all the way home from the post office, like two schoolgirls.(我们从邮局回去的一路上都笑得很开心,像两个学生)”可知,扔卫生纸的经历给作者和她妈妈带来很大欢乐。故选D。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。这是一篇记叙文,文章中心一般会在最后一两段中指出。由文章最后一段中的“Toilet papering has taught us that play is powerful medicine!(扔卫生纸让我们明白开心地玩就像是一剂很有效的良药)”可知,本文强调扔纸的治愈能力。故选C。
【点睛】主旨大意题是篇章阅读一个主要的考查方式,标题题(best title)是其一个典型的考点,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。例如本文中的第四题,这是一篇记叙文,根据文体特点可知,记叙文一般会在文章最后点名文章中心,所以由文章最后一段中的“Toilet papering has taught us that play is powerful medicine!”可知本文的中心。故选C。
C
A 23-year-old British woman has invented a product she hopes will one day replace single-use plastic.
The new product is made by combining fishing waste and algae (水藻).It could be used to replace plastic bags or containers that people use once and throw away. Lucy Hughes created the material, called MarinaTex, for her final year project at the University.
MarinaTex is edible, to put it in another way, it can be tasted without danger. Hughes says it is also strong and stable. But unlike plastic, MarinaTex biodegrades (生物降解)in four to six weeks under normal conditions and does not pollute the soil. The inventor said she is concerned about the growing amounts of plastics in ocean waters. She noted one report that there would be more plastic than fish in the world's oceans by the year 2050. The United Nations estimates that 100 million tons of plastic waste has already been left in the oceans. Hughes also was investigating ways to reduce the amount of waste from the fishing industry. The industry produces an estimated 50 million tons of waste worldwide each year, UN officials say.
Examining fish parts left over from processing helped to give her the idea for a material that was useful and did no harm to the environment. “Why do we need to have hundreds of man-made polymers (聚合体)when nature has so many already available?" she asked. After months of testing, Hughes produced a strong, flexible sheet that forms at temperatures below 100 degrees Celsius. Inventor James Dyson said that MarinaTex is “stronger, safer and much more sustainable (可持续的)”than plastic. It is also easier to break down. Hughes will receive about $ 41,000 prize money as the first place winner of the James Dyson Award. She plans to use the money to further develop the product and ways to mass produce it. "Further research and development will ensure that MarinaTex evolves further, and becomes part of a global answer to the abundance of single use plastic waste," Dyson said.
28. What do we know about MarinaTex?
A. It is a safe seafood.
B. It is a kind of waste.
C. It is a new kind of plastic.
D. It is a safe material that can replace plastic.
29. What does the underlined word “edible" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Useful. B. Eatable.
C. Replaceable. D. Delicious.
30. What gets Hughes to creat MarinaTex?
A. Her concern about the growing amount of plastic in ocean.
B. Her occupational habit of trying out new things.
C. Her hope to help develop the fishing industry.
D. Her desire to win the prize money.
31. What can we infer from the last paragrach?
A. We need to have hundreds of MarinaTex available.
B. Hughes produced MarinaTex without much effort.
C. MarinaTex will be a good solution to plastic waste.
D. Hughes is the first winner of the James Dyson Award.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。一位23岁的英国女孩发明了一种可以替代塑料的材料,被叫做MarinaTex。文中介绍了这种材料的制作材料、它的环保性、安全性以及制作初衷与后续的发展前景。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段中的“It could be used to replace plastic bags or containers that people use once and throw away.(它能够被用来替代制作人们用一次就扔掉的塑料袋或包装盒)”可知,这种新型材料可以替代塑料。由第三段中的“it can be tasted without danger(食用它没有任何危险)”可知,这种新型材料是很安全的。故选D。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。由划线单词后的“to put it in another way(换一种方式说)”可知,后边半句话“it can be tasted without danger(食用它没有任何危险)”是对前半句话的解释。所以“edible”的意思应该是“可食用的”。A. Useful有用的; B. Eatable可以吃的;C. Replaceable可替代的;D. Delicious好吃的。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“The inventor said she is concerned about the growing amounts of plastics in ocean waters.(这位发明者说她很关心海洋里逐渐增加的塑料)”可知,这位发明者发明新材料的原因是她关心海洋里的塑料问题。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段中Dyson所说的话“Further research and development will ensure that MarinaTex evolves further, and becomes part of a global answer to the abundance of single use plastic waste(进一步的研究和发明才能确保MarinaTex材料进一步优化,最后使得MarinaTex变成解决单一用途的塑料垃圾过分使用带来的全球问题的答案的一部分)”可知,MarinaTex将是解决全球塑料垃圾问题的一个好方案。故选C。
【点睛】猜测词义题在高考中有三种考查形式:生词猜测词义或熟词生义、猜测一句话的意思、指代关系猜词(代词或者名词)。从近三年考查形势看,三种考查方式同等重要。本文中考查的是生词猜测词义。这种题型的解法主要是在生词后找到其释义句。例如本文第二题考查的就是词义猜测题,由句子中插入语“to put it in another way”可知,前后两个半句话是解释与被解释的关系,所以由“it can be tasted without danger”可推知划线单词处表达的意思是“可食用的”。据此可选出正确答案。
D
Britain's got talent——but we're still wasting it. That's the main finding of a new report by researchers from Oxford University. Children of similar cognitive (认知) ability have very different chances of educational success; it still depends on their parents' economic, socio-cultural and educational resources. This contradicts a commonly held view that our education system has developed enough to give everyone a fighting chance. The researchers looked at data from groups of children born in three decades: 1950s, 1970s and 1990s.
They found significant evidence of a wastage of talent. Individuals with high levels of cognitive ability but with disadvantages in their social origins are unable to translate their ability into educational achievement to the same extent as their more advantaged counterparts (对照组). The research, funded by the Nuffield Foundation, found that only about half of the difference in educational achievement between children from advantaged and disadvantaged parental backgrounds is due to differences in their cognitive ability. The other half is due to other factors (因素)associated with their backgrounds.
“If we compare the educational achievement of children born in the 1990s to those in the late 1950s and early 1970s, we see that parents' economic resources have become a less important factor, but their socio-cultural and educational resources have grown in significance," says Dr. Bukodi. “That means that your parents' place in society and their own level of education still play a big part in how well you may do."
These experts are now calling for policy-makers to acknowledge that formal qualifications is only one channel for upward mobility (流动性)for high-ability individuals of disadvantaged backgrounds. Dr. Bukodi says, “These findings show that there are limits to how far inequalities of opportunity can be reduced through educational policy alone. Changes in educational policy aren't having the powerful effect we want."
32. What is the main finding of the research?
A. We're wasting talent due to education system.
B. Children of similar cognitive ability have different chances of educational success.
C. Children's cognitive ability depends on different educational resources.
D. Education system has developed enough to give chilidren a fighting chance.
33. How does the author mainly develop the text?
A By making a comparison.
B. By discussing a result.
C. By giving examples.
D. By presenting reasons.
34. According to Dr. Bukodi, what affects children's educational achievement greatly?
A. Children's cognitive ability.
B. Parents' economic resouces.
C. Educational policy.
D. Parents' socio-cultural and educational backgrounds.
35. What is the author's attitude towards the finding of the new report?
A. Favorable. B. Objective.
C. Doubtful. D. Negative.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了牛津大学研究人员发表的一份新报告的主要发现:认知能力相似的儿童获得教育成功的机会却不同;这取决于他们父母的经济实力、社会文化和教育资源。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段中的“Britain's got talent——but we're still wasting it. That's the main finding of a new report by researchers from Oxford University. Children of similar cognitive (认知) ability have very different chances of educational success; it still depends on their parents' economic, socio-cultural and educational resources.(英国人很有才华---但是我们还在浪费它。这是牛津大学科学家在一项研究中的新发现。相同认知能力的孩子有不同的学业成功的机会。它依旧依赖于父母的经济、社会文化以及教育资源)”可知,研究的主要发现是相同认知能力的孩子有不同的学业成功的机会。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。由文中的“The researchers looked at data from groups of children born in three decades: 1950s, 1970s and 1990s.(研究人员查看了生于三个不同年代的孩子的数据:20世纪50年代、20世纪70年代、20世纪90年代)”以及“If we compare the educational achievement of children born in the 1990s to those in the late 1950s and early 1970s, we see that…(如果我们对比生于90年代的孩子与生于50年代后期、70年代早期的孩子教育成就的数据,我们会发现……)”可知,文章采用的是对比的方法来组织文章的。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。由题干中的“Dr. Bukodi”可将本题答案定位在第三段。由Dr. That means that your parents' place in society and their own level of education still play a big part in how well you may do.(这意味着父母的社会地位以及他们自己的教育水平依然在孩子能变多好的过程中发挥着重要作用)可知,社会、文化、教育背景依然在孩子的学业成就中起着重要作用。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段中的内容“这些专家现在呼吁政策制定者承认,正式的资格证书只是家境不好的知识分子向上提升的一个渠道。Bukodi 博士说:“这些发现表明,仅仅通过教育政策就可以减少机会不平等的程度是有限的。教育政策的变化没有产生我们想要的影响。”可知,作者对新报告中的发现是很客观的。A. Favorable赞许的,赞同的;B. Objective客观的;C. Doubtful怀疑的;D. Negative否认的。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

Are you crying because you're sad or because something moves you? It's all okay. Some people try to hold back tears because they are scared it makes them seem weak, which is not a wise practice. Don't try to fight the tears, but let them flow freely, ___36___ .
1. It gives you more support
Sometimes people don't understand how much something is bothering you,___37___ . Research carried out in 2018 shows that crying is so-called attachment behavior. This means that crying makes people want to comfort you and support you.
2. ___38___
When you cry because something made you sad, the pain is often quite sharp, but you do feel relieved after you cry. That is not that strange. Researchers found out that your body produces oxytocin and endorphins when you cry. These components make people feel good and that's why you experience the sharp pain a little less intense.
3. It is said to cause less stress
___39___ , but researchers are convinced that crying can lessen stress. When you cry, your tears contain a certain concentration of stress hormones (激素). These stress hormones leave your body when you cry and researchers have developed a theory that you experience less stress after crying because of it.
4. It can improve your sight

【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章给大家提出了感到悲伤或者感动时应该哭出来的四个理由。
【36题详解】
空格位于首段段尾。由第二段以下的四个小标题可知,这句话应起到承上启下的作用。选项E(因为哭有四个好处)与下文中四个要点呼应。故选E。
【37题详解】
空格位于段中。由空格位于逗号后,可知答案只能在CEG之间进行选择。空格前半句意思为“有时候人们不知道你遇到事情有多么让你烦心”,可知选项G(但是当你哭得时候,他们会很好的理解了)与之呼应。且选项G中的they与前半句中的people形成指代关系,其中的understand也与上句中的understand呼应。故选G。
【38题详解】
空格位于小标题处。由空格位置以及其它三个小标题都是简短的陈述句可知,此题答案应该也是一个简短的陈述句。由段中的“lessen stress(减少压力)”与These components make people feel good and that's why you experience the sharp pain a little less intense(这些成分能让人们感觉好一些,这也是为什么你会感觉伤痛减轻一些的原因)可知,这段内容与“缓解伤痛”有关。选项A“It really eases the pain(它真的可以减轻伤痛)”与段落内容相符合。故选A。
【39题详解】
空格位于段首。由这句话中的but可知前后句之间是转折关系。由后半句句意为“但是研究人员相信哭能减轻压力”,可知选项F(虽然还需要做很多研究)与其内容一致。故选F。
【40题详解】
空格位于段中。由本段小标题“It can improve your sight(它能改善你的视力)”可知,这段话内容都与视力有关。由前半句“Sometimes your eyes can be a bit dry(有时你的眼睛会有点干)”可知,选项C(这会使得你看不清楚)即与本句话内容一致,也与段落小标题内容一致。故选C。
【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。例如本文通过看首段及后续段落首句可知:是总分总的形式。本题中的第一题和第三题就是利用篇章结构解题。第二题和第四题利用句子之间的前后呼应关系解题。第五题利用段落内容与小标题的一致性解题。具体解题步骤参看详解。所以拿到一篇文章,同学们首先要根据篇章类型与空格位置推断使用什么方法解题,有助于加快解题速度。

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。
A group of researchers and scientists from China and other countries are working together ___61___ (record) and collect digital images of cultural relics from the Mogao Caves, which were a key stop ___62___ the Silk Road throughout China's ancient history.

【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了莫高窟文物数字图像采集工作的进程、历史重要性以及采集来的数字图像的用途。
【61题详解】
考查不定式。句意:从中国和其他一些国家来的科学家正在一起工作,来记录和收集莫高窟文物数字图像,莫高窟曾是中国历史上丝绸之路上的一个重要驿站。空格处单词表达科学家们一起努力工作的目的,所以使用不定式作目的状语。故填to record。
【62题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。根据句意,莫高窟是沿着丝绸之路上一个重要驿站。“沿着”可翻译为along,所以应填along。
【63题详解】
考查现在完成时的被动语态。句意:自从1994年这个国际项目开始后,大约已经生成五十万份高质量的数字影像。由since可知,这句话应使用现在完成时。主语digital photographs与produce之间是被动关系,所以应使用被动语态。且主语是复数形式,故填have been produced。
【64题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:很多国家都研究的莫高石窟已经是不同文化之间的一个交集点。这句话的位于动词是have been,所以空格处应填非谓语动词。主语The Mogao Caves与study之间是被动关系,所以使用过去分词作定语。故填studied。
【65题详解】
考查定语从句的关系词。句意:现在这些石窟就像当年人们走丝绸之路时一样具有国际性。这是一个定语从句,先行词为the time,且先行词在从句中作时间状语,所以关系词用when。故填when。
【66题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:世界各地的游客来敦煌看石窟,洛杉矶盖蒂博物馆复印了这些石窟和画,让人们在美国就可以欣赏。“and”前后连接两个并列的连词,由caves可知,空格处也应填名词。“paint(画画)”的名词形式为painting,且我们知道莫高石窟的壁画不只是一个,所以填名词的复数形式。故填paintings。
【67题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:通过在网上分享这些数字影像,这个小组的成员希望提高世界各地的人们对中国历史、文化、传统更广泛的兴趣。空格位于名词前,应用形容词形式。even修饰形容词的比较级,故填wider。
【68题详解】
考查状语从句的连词。句意:正如从事这个项目的一名研究员所说的:“欣赏自己的文化遗产对于了解自己是很重要的。欣赏其它国家的文化遗产对国际交流和文化遗产很重要。”根据句意,这是一个方式状语从句,“正如”可翻译为as,故填As。
【69题详解】
考查动名词作主语。句意同上。根据句意,空格处单词作主语,且空格处单词与其后边单词还有主谓关系,所以空格处应填动名词。故填Appreciating。
【70题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意同上。句子主语是Recognizing the cultural heritage of other countries,是动名词形式作主语,所以句子谓语动词应使用第三人称单数形式。故填does。
第四部分 写作(共两节,满分35分)
第一节 短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)

【答案】box→boxes
it→them
useful→use
去掉for
have→had
real→really
how→what
or→and
is后面加上a
make→makes
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者看到小区内的两个捐赠箱,引发的一些感想。作者认为捐赠箱是一个很好的主意,能让世界变得更美好。
【详解】1. 考查名词的数。句意:最近我在小区内发现了两个捐赠箱。“box(箱子)”是可数名词,用a couple of(两个)修饰时,应使用名词的复数形式。故将box改为boxes。
2.考查人称代词。句意:当人们有不穿的衣服的时候,人们就来到它们这里。这里的代词指代上句中提到的a couple of donation boxes,所以应使用复数意义的代词。故将it改为them。
3.考查名词短语。句意:我认为,捐赠箱有很大的用途。“be of great use”意为“非常有用”,为固定搭配。故将useful改为use。
4.考查动词短语。句意:我有很多不再适合我的衣服。表达“某物适合某人”可以表达为 “sth. fit sb.”或“sth. be fit for sb.”,本句话中fit前没有be动词,所以去掉fit后的for。
5.考查一般过去时。句意:我以前不知道如何处理那些不穿了的,但是真的还很新并且保存的很好的衣服。由句中的“before(以前)”可知,这句话前半句应使用一般过去时。故将have改为had。
6.考查副词。句意同上。“new(新的)”为形容词,应用副词修饰。故将real改为really。
7.考查宾语从句连接词。句意:现在我知道下一步该做什么了。`这是一个宾语从句,从句也缺宾语,所以连接词使用what。故将how改为what。
8.考查并列连词。句意:我将捐赠它们,帮助那些有需要的人。“donate”与“help”之间是并列关系。故将or改为and。
9.考查不定冠词。句意:我认为捐赠箱是一个好主意,它能点亮我们的生活,让这个世界变成更加适合生存的地方。“idea(主意)”是一个可数名词,且其在本文中第一次出现,所以应在is后加a。
10.考查主谓一致。句意同上。这句话中and前后连接两个并列的短语,句子主语the donation box(捐赠箱)使用的是第三人称单数,且make与is是并列的谓语,由主语及is可知,make处也应使用第三人称单数形式。故将make改为makes。
第二节 书面表达(满分25分)
72.假定你是李华,你校将要接待一个英国中学生交流团,现在正招聘志愿者,请根据 以下题示写信应聘,内容包括:

If you take my request into consideration, I’ll be more than grateful and happy.
Looking forward to your reply.

【解析】
【分析】
这是一封应聘信。题干中给出了写作时需要涵盖的三个要点,但是每个要点还需要同学们根据自己的学习及生活经验适当发挥。
【详解】第一步:审题:确定时态和人称。这封信主要是你作为李华,申请英国中学生交流团的志愿者,所以时态应以一般现在时为主,人称以第一人称为主。
第二步:列提纲 (重点词组)
looking for volunteers to do sth.(寻找志愿者做某事);feel excited to do sth.(很激动做某事); the Spoken English Contest(英语演讲比赛);there is no doubt…(毫无疑问……);have…problem (in) doing sth.(在……方面有问题);some experience of serving foreigners(服务外国人的经验);eager to do sth.(渴望做某事);take… into consideration(考虑……)等。
第三步:遣词造句:同学们在写作时不能逐句翻译,可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯,同时要点表述要完整,文章要通顺,准确使用时态和语态。
第四步:连句成文:写作时要适当使用连词、过渡词和插入语,使文章浑然一体。同时恰当而合理地使用一些高级词汇和句型,如定语从句等,以提高文章档次。
【点睛】范文内容完整,要点全面,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当,上下文意思连贯,符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了较多句式,如:第一段第一句使用了that引导的宾语从句与and引导的并列句;第四句使用了so引导的并列句;第七句使用了if引导的条件状语从句。此外本文还使用了一些高级词汇,如looking for volunteers to receive them;feel excited to write you for the job;the Spoken English Contest;there is no doubt that…;have any problem communicating with them;some experience of serving foreigners;eager to be accepted;take my request into consideration等。全文中没有中国式英语的句式,显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外,文章思路清晰、层次分明,上下句转换自然,为文章增色添彩。

M: OK, thanks. Actually, I’m here to attend a conference. I need to be downtown by 3 o’clock. So I think I’ll take your advice. Where is the nearest underground station?
W: Walk straight on this street for a block, and you’ll see an underground station between the Plaza Hotel and the post office.

阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B. C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Guinness World Records Set by Kids
♦ The youngest club DJ
Oratilwe A J Hongwane likes putting in more efforts when playing music for a crowd. In 2012, he became the youngest club DJ—he was five when he played a one- hour set to 100 people at a bar in South Africa. Known in the business as DJ Arch Jnr, he broke the record previously held by a six-year-old in Japan.
♦The most viewed video game-unboxing video
Kids love watching someone unbox a new purchase—especially if it's something they can't get themselves. Maybe that's why more than 25 million people have watched YouTube HD. What's really cool about Evan is that he actually donates most of the toys to those in need. He also uses his popular YouTube channel to draw people's attention to worthy organizations for helping the poor.
♦The youngest drummer
The rules of Guinness World Records say a drummer must record a real song and be paid for his skills and that the drummer must give at least 20 concerts of 45 minutes or longer within five years. At the age of just four Julian Pavone met all those qualifications.
♦The fastest assembly (组装)of 10,000 Lego pieces and the longest Lego chain
A group of school kids in New Jersey went for their world records to increase public awareness about a fellow student who is suffering from a rare and deadly disease. The group put together 10,000 Lego pieces in just three hours, breaking the old one by five hours. They also set the record for the longest Lego chain, which ended up at 947 meters, beating the old record by 40.
21. Who is devoted to charity?
A. Oratilwe A J Hongwane. B. Evan.
C. DJ Arch Jnr. D. Julian Pavone.
22. What do we know about the youngest drummer?

B
A letter to the editor complained about someone stringing toilet paper on their trees. That letter brought a flood of responses defending this act as being harmless to friends: “ It's an honor to get toilet papered", said one writer, “and good fun for teenagers."
Reading these letters brought me chuckles (轻声笑)and then tears as they woke old memories of my mother’s ninety-second year. She was seriously ill that autumn. And I watched, powerless.
A decade before, I helped her break out" of the nursing home. It was a fine place with a caring staff. But Mom didn't want skilled care: she wanted to live on her own and just needed some assistance to do so. Being in a more restrictive environment than necessary was bad for her condition. The risk paid off, and I was rewarded by seeing my mother once again enjoying her life.
Ten years later, Mom's health declined, and my care-giving duties increased. One evening, for some unexplainable reason, I invited my mother to go toilet papering!
This outing would push my mother to her physical limits. Was I making a mistake? Secretly we went to my brother's home. In his backyard, I handed Mom a roll of toilet paper. Without hesitation she shot it skyward...
Mom papered a dozen trees in four family yards that unforgettable evening. The day after our big adventure, Mom and I sent a card to each of our victim, signed “From your decorators". We laughed all the way home from the post office, like two schoolgirls.
My mother's last year was marked by physical decline. However, we shared some simple fun each day. Those light-hearted moments were like a salve (慰藉),and they are the ones I'll always remember. Toilet papering has taught us that play is powerful medicine!
24. Why did the author cry when reading the letter?
A. She was blamed for toilet papering.
B. It brought her childhood memory.
C She thought of her sick mother.
D. It was very stressful.
25. The author helped her leave the nursing home in order that ____.
A. Mom could enjoy a free life
B. Mom could get more skilled home care

D. they could avoid taking risk
26. What can we learn from the mother's experience of toilet papering?
A. They did some damage to four family yards.
B. They were made to apologize for their mistakes.
C. Toilet papering made her illness worsened.
D. Toilet papering brought them much pleasure.
27. What would be the best title for the text?
A. A Letter of Complaint

【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章由读者来信抱怨有人在他们家树上挂满卫生纸一事,勾起了作者对母亲的思念。为了让年迈的母亲开心,作者与母亲也曾做过相似的事情。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段中的“Reading these letters brought me chuckles (轻声笑)and then tears as they woke old memories of my mother’s ninety-second year.(读者这些信件不由得让我发笑,然后泪流满面,因为它们让我想起了母亲92岁那年的一些陈旧的记忆)”可知,作者哭了的原因是她想起了她当年生病的母亲。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“A decade before, I helped her break out of the nursing home. It was a fine place with a caring staff. But Mom didn't want skilled care: she wanted to live on her own and just needed some assistance to do so. Being in a more restrictive environment than necessary was bad for her condition.(十年前,我帮妈妈离开了养老院。那个地方有很贴心的护士。但是妈妈不需要专业的照顾:她想独自生活,只需要一些帮助就可以。在一个超过需要的严格的环境中对她的情况不好。)”可知,作者帮助妈妈离开养老院是为了让妈妈过更自由的生活。故选A。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段中的“We laughed all the way home from the post office, like two schoolgirls.(我们从邮局回去的一路上都笑得很开心,像两个学生)”可知,扔卫生纸的经历给作者和她妈妈带来很大欢乐。故选D。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。这是一篇记叙文,文章中心一般会在最后一两段中指出。由文章最后一段中的“Toilet papering has taught us that play is powerful medicine!(扔卫生纸让我们明白开心地玩就像是一剂很有效的良药)”可知,本文强调扔纸的治愈能力。故选C。
【点睛】主旨大意题是篇章阅读一个主要的考查方式,标题题(best title)是其一个典型的考点,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。例如本文中的第四题,这是一篇记叙文,根据文体特点可知,记叙文一般会在文章最后点名文章中心,所以由文章最后一段中的“Toilet papering has taught us that play is powerful medicine!”可知本文的中心。故选C。
C
A 23-year-old British woman has invented a product she hopes will one day replace single-use plastic.
The new product is made by combining fishing waste and algae (水藻).It could be used to replace plastic bags or containers that people use once and throw away. Lucy Hughes created the material, called MarinaTex, for her final year project at the University.
MarinaTex is edible, to put it in another way, it can be tasted without danger. Hughes says it is also strong and stable. But unlike plastic, MarinaTex biodegrades (生物降解)in four to six weeks under normal conditions and does not pollute the soil. The inventor said she is concerned about the growing amounts of plastics in ocean waters. She noted one report that there would be more plastic than fish in the world's oceans by the year 2050. The United Nations estimates that 100 million tons of plastic waste has already been left in the oceans. Hughes also was investigating ways to reduce the amount of waste from the fishing industry. The industry produces an estimated 50 million tons of waste worldwide each year, UN officials say.
Examining fish parts left over from processing helped to give her the idea for a material that was useful and did no harm to the environment. “Why do we need to have hundreds of man-made polymers (聚合体)when nature has so many already available?" she asked. After months of testing, Hughes produced a strong, flexible sheet that forms at temperatures below 100 degrees Celsius. Inventor James Dyson said that MarinaTex is “stronger, safer and much more sustainable (可持续的)”than plastic. It is also easier to break down. Hughes will receive about $ 41,000 prize money as the first place winner of the James Dyson Award. She plans to use the money to further develop the product and ways to mass produce it. "Further research and development will ensure that MarinaTex evolves further, and becomes part of a global answer to the abundance of single use plastic waste," Dyson said.
28. What do we know about MarinaTex?
A. It is a safe seafood.
B. It is a kind of waste.
C. It is a new kind of plastic.
D. It is a safe material that can replace plastic.
29. What does the underlined word “edible" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Useful. B. Eatable.
C. Replaceable. D. Delicious.
30. What gets Hughes to creat MarinaTex?
A. Her concern about the growing amount of plastic in ocean.
B. Her occupational habit of trying out new things.
C. Her hope to help develop the fishing industry.
D. Her desire to win the prize money.
31. What can we infer from the last paragrach?
A. We need to have hundreds of MarinaTex available.
B. Hughes produced MarinaTex without much effort.
C. MarinaTex will be a good solution to plastic waste.
D. Hughes is the first winner of the James Dyson Award.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。一位23岁的英国女孩发明了一种可以替代塑料的材料,被叫做MarinaTex。文中介绍了这种材料的制作材料、它的环保性、安全性以及制作初衷与后续的发展前景。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段中的“It could be used to replace plastic bags or containers that people use once and throw away.(它能够被用来替代制作人们用一次就扔掉的塑料袋或包装盒)”可知,这种新型材料可以替代塑料。由第三段中的“it can be tasted without danger(食用它没有任何危险)”可知,这种新型材料是很安全的。故选D。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。由划线单词后的“to put it in another way(换一种方式说)”可知,后边半句话“it can be tasted without danger(食用它没有任何危险)”是对前半句话的解释。所以“edible”的意思应该是“可食用的”。A. Useful有用的; B. Eatable可以吃的;C. Replaceable可替代的;D. Delicious好吃的。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“The inventor said she is concerned about the growing amounts of plastics in ocean waters.(这位发明者说她很关心海洋里逐渐增加的塑料)”可知,这位发明者发明新材料的原因是她关心海洋里的塑料问题。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段中Dyson所说的话“Further research and development will ensure that MarinaTex evolves further, and becomes part of a global answer to the abundance of single use plastic waste(进一步的研究和发明才能确保MarinaTex材料进一步优化,最后使得MarinaTex变成解决单一用途的塑料垃圾过分使用带来的全球问题的答案的一部分)”可知,MarinaTex将是解决全球塑料垃圾问题的一个好方案。故选C。
【点睛】猜测词义题在高考中有三种考查形式:生词猜测词义或熟词生义、猜测一句话的意思、指代关系猜词(代词或者名词)。从近三年考查形势看,三种考查方式同等重要。本文中考查的是生词猜测词义。这种题型的解法主要是在生词后找到其释义句。例如本文第二题考查的就是词义猜测题,由句子中插入语“to put it in another way”可知,前后两个半句话是解释与被解释的关系,所以由“it can be tasted without danger”可推知划线单词处表达的意思是“可食用的”。据此可选出正确答案。
D
Britain's got talent——but we're still wasting it. That's the main finding of a new report by researchers from Oxford University. Children of similar cognitive (认知) ability have very different chances of educational success; it still depends on their parents' economic, socio-cultural and educational resources. This contradicts a commonly held view that our education system has developed enough to give everyone a fighting chance. The researchers looked at data from groups of children born in three decades: 1950s, 1970s and 1990s.
They found significant evidence of a wastage of talent. Individuals with high levels of cognitive ability but with disadvantages in their social origins are unable to translate their ability into educational achievement to the same extent as their more advantaged counterparts (对照组). The research, funded by the Nuffield Foundation, found that only about half of the difference in educational achievement between children from advantaged and disadvantaged parental backgrounds is due to differences in their cognitive ability. The other half is due to other factors (因素)associated with their backgrounds.
“If we compare the educational achievement of children born in the 1990s to those in the late 1950s and early 1970s, we see that parents' economic resources have become a less important factor, but their socio-cultural and educational resources have grown in significance," says Dr. Bukodi. “That means that your parents' place in society and their own level of education still play a big part in how well you may do."
These experts are now calling for policy-makers to acknowledge that formal qualifications is only one channel for upward mobility (流动性)for high-ability individuals of disadvantaged backgrounds. Dr. Bukodi says, “These findings show that there are limits to how far inequalities of opportunity can be reduced through educational policy alone. Changes in educational policy aren't having the powerful effect we want."
32. What is the main finding of the research?
A. We're wasting talent due to education system.
B. Children of similar cognitive ability have different chances of educational success.
C. Children's cognitive ability depends on different educational resources.
D. Education system has developed enough to give chilidren a fighting chance.
33. How does the author mainly develop the text?
A By making a comparison.
B. By discussing a result.
C. By giving examples.
D. By presenting reasons.
34. According to Dr. Bukodi, what affects children's educational achievement greatly?
A. Children's cognitive ability.
B. Parents' economic resouces.
C. Educational policy.
D. Parents' socio-cultural and educational backgrounds.
35. What is the author's attitude towards the finding of the new report?
A. Favorable. B. Objective.
C. Doubtful. D. Negative.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了牛津大学研究人员发表的一份新报告的主要发现:认知能力相似的儿童获得教育成功的机会却不同;这取决于他们父母的经济实力、社会文化和教育资源。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段中的“Britain's got talent——but we're still wasting it. That's the main finding of a new report by researchers from Oxford University. Children of similar cognitive (认知) ability have very different chances of educational success; it still depends on their parents' economic, socio-cultural and educational resources.(英国人很有才华---但是我们还在浪费它。这是牛津大学科学家在一项研究中的新发现。相同认知能力的孩子有不同的学业成功的机会。它依旧依赖于父母的经济、社会文化以及教育资源)”可知,研究的主要发现是相同认知能力的孩子有不同的学业成功的机会。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。由文中的“The researchers looked at data from groups of children born in three decades: 1950s, 1970s and 1990s.(研究人员查看了生于三个不同年代的孩子的数据:20世纪50年代、20世纪70年代、20世纪90年代)”以及“If we compare the educational achievement of children born in the 1990s to those in the late 1950s and early 1970s, we see that…(如果我们对比生于90年代的孩子与生于50年代后期、70年代早期的孩子教育成就的数据,我们会发现……)”可知,文章采用的是对比的方法来组织文章的。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。由题干中的“Dr. Bukodi”可将本题答案定位在第三段。由Dr. That means that your parents' place in society and their own level of education still play a big part in how well you may do.(这意味着父母的社会地位以及他们自己的教育水平依然在孩子能变多好的过程中发挥着重要作用)可知,社会、文化、教育背景依然在孩子的学业成就中起着重要作用。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段中的内容“这些专家现在呼吁政策制定者承认,正式的资格证书只是家境不好的知识分子向上提升的一个渠道。Bukodi 博士说:“这些发现表明,仅仅通过教育政策就可以减少机会不平等的程度是有限的。教育政策的变化没有产生我们想要的影响。”可知,作者对新报告中的发现是很客观的。A. Favorable赞许的,赞同的;B. Objective客观的;C. Doubtful怀疑的;D. Negative否认的。故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

这是一篇说明文。文章给大家提出了感到悲伤或者感动时应该哭出来的四个理由。
【36题详解】
空格位于首段段尾。由第二段以下的四个小标题可知,这句话应起到承上启下的作用。选项E(因为哭有四个好处)与下文中四个要点呼应。故选E。
【37题详解】
空格位于段中。由空格位于逗号后,可知答案只能在CEG之间进行选择。空格前半句意思为“有时候人们不知道你遇到事情有多么让你烦心”,可知选项G(但是当你哭得时候,他们会很好的理解了)与之呼应。且选项G中的they与前半句中的people形成指代关系,其中的understand也与上句中的understand呼应。故选G。
【38题详解】
空格位于小标题处。由空格位置以及其它三个小标题都是简短的陈述句可知,此题答案应该也是一个简短的陈述句。由段中的“lessen stress(减少压力)”与These components make people feel good and that's why you experience the sharp pain a little less intense(这些成分能让人们感觉好一些,这也是为什么你会感觉伤痛减轻一些的原因)可知,这段内容与“缓解伤痛”有关。选项A“It really eases the pain(它真的可以减轻伤痛)”与段落内容相符合。故选A。
【39题详解】
空格位于段首。由这句话中的but可知前后句之间是转折关系。由后半句句意为“但是研究人员相信哭能减轻压力”,可知选项F(虽然还需要做很多研究)与其内容一致。故选F。
【40题详解】
空格位于段中。由本段小标题“It can improve your sight(它能改善你的视力)”可知,这段话内容都与视力有关。由前半句“Sometimes your eyes can be a bit dry(有时你的眼睛会有点干)”可知,选项C(这会使得你看不清楚)即与本句话内容一致,也与段落小标题内容一致。故选C。
【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。例如本文通过看首段及后续段落首句可知:是总分总的形式。本题中的第一题和第三题就是利用篇章结构解题。第二题和第四题利用句子之间的前后呼应关系解题。第五题利用段落内容与小标题的一致性解题。具体解题步骤参看详解。所以拿到一篇文章,同学们首先要根据篇章类型与空格位置推断使用什么方法解题,有助于加快解题速度。

【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了莫高窟文物数字图像采集工作的进程、历史重要性以及采集来的数字图像的用途。
【61题详解】
考查不定式。句意:从中国和其他一些国家来的科学家正在一起工作,来记录和收集莫高窟文物数字图像,莫高窟曾是中国历史上丝绸之路上的一个重要驿站。空格处单词表达科学家们一起努力工作的目的,所以使用不定式作目的状语。故填to record。
【62题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。根据句意,莫高窟是沿着丝绸之路上一个重要驿站。“沿着”可翻译为along,所以应填along。
【63题详解】
考查现在完成时的被动语态。句意:自从1994年这个国际项目开始后,大约已经生成五十万份高质量的数字影像。由since可知,这句话应使用现在完成时。主语digital photographs与produce之间是被动关系,所以应使用被动语态。且主语是复数形式,故填have been produced。
【64题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:很多国家都研究的莫高石窟已经是不同文化之间的一个交集点。这句话的位于动词是have been,所以空格处应填非谓语动词。主语The Mogao Caves与study之间是被动关系,所以使用过去分词作定语。故填studied。
【65题详解】
考查定语从句的关系词。句意:现在这些石窟就像当年人们走丝绸之路时一样具有国际性。这是一个定语从句,先行词为the time,且先行词在从句中作时间状语,所以关系词用when。故填when。
【66题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:世界各地的游客来敦煌看石窟,洛杉矶盖蒂博物馆复印了这些石窟和画,让人们在美国就可以欣赏。“and”前后连接两个并列的连词,由caves可知,空格处也应填名词。“paint(画画)”的名词形式为painting,且我们知道莫高石窟的壁画不只是一个,所以填名词的复数形式。故填paintings。
【67题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:通过在网上分享这些数字影像,这个小组的成员希望提高世界各地的人们对中国历史、文化、传统更广泛的兴趣。空格位于名词前,应用形容词形式。even修饰形容词的比较级,故填wider。
【68题详解】
考查状语从句的连词。句意:正如从事这个项目的一名研究员所说的:“欣赏自己的文化遗产对于了解自己是很重要的。欣赏其它国家的文化遗产对国际交流和文化遗产很重要。”根据句意,这是一个方式状语从句,“正如”可翻译为as,故填As。
【69题详解】
考查动名词作主语。句意同上。根据句意,空格处单词作主语,且空格处单词与其后边单词还有主谓关系,所以空格处应填动名词。故填Appreciating。
【70题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意同上。句子主语是Recognizing the cultural heritage of other countries,是动名词形式作主语,所以句子谓语动词应使用第三人称单数形式。故填does。

【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者看到小区内的两个捐赠箱,引发的一些感想。作者认为捐赠箱是一个很好的主意,能让世界变得更美好。
【详解】1. 考查名词的数。句意:最近我在小区内发现了两个捐赠箱。“box(箱子)”是可数名词,用a couple of(两个)修饰时,应使用名词的复数形式。故将box改为boxes。
2.考查人称代词。句意:当人们有不穿的衣服的时候,人们就来到它们这里。这里的代词指代上句中提到的a couple of donation boxes,所以应使用复数意义的代词。故将it改为them。
3.考查名词短语。句意:我认为,捐赠箱有很大的用途。“be of great use”意为“非常有用”,为固定搭配。故将useful改为use。
4.考查动词短语。句意:我有很多不再适合我的衣服。表达“某物适合某人”可以表达为 “sth. fit sb.”或“sth. be fit for sb.”,本句话中fit前没有be动词,所以去掉fit后的for。
5.考查一般过去时。句意:我以前不知道如何处理那些不穿了的,但是真的还很新并且保存的很好的衣服。由句中的“before(以前)”可知,这句话前半句应使用一般过去时。故将have改为had。
6.考查副词。句意同上。“new(新的)”为形容词,应用副词修饰。故将real改为really。
7.考查宾语从句连接词。句意:现在我知道下一步该做什么了。`这是一个宾语从句,从句也缺宾语,所以连接词使用what。故将how改为what。
8.考查并列连词。句意:我将捐赠它们,帮助那些有需要的人。“donate”与“help”之间是并列关系。故将or改为and。
9.考查不定冠词。句意:我认为捐赠箱是一个好主意,它能点亮我们的生活,让这个世界变成更加适合生存的地方。“idea(主意)”是一个可数名词,且其在本文中第一次出现,所以应在is后加a。
10.考查主谓一致。句意同上。这句话中and前后连接两个并列的短语,句子主语the donation box(捐赠箱)使用的是第三人称单数,且make与is是并列的谓语,由主语及is可知,make处也应使用第三人称单数形式。故将make改为makes。
第二节 书面表达(满分25分)

【解析】
【分析】
这是一封应聘信。题干中给出了写作时需要涵盖的三个要点,但是每个要点还需要同学们根据自己的学习及生活经验适当发挥。
【详解】第一步:审题:确定时态和人称。这封信主要是你作为李华,申请英国中学生交流团的志愿者,所以时态应以一般现在时为主,人称以第一人称为主。
第二步:列提纲 (重点词组)
looking for volunteers to do sth.(寻找志愿者做某事);feel excited to do sth.(很激动做某事); the Spoken English Contest(英语演讲比赛);there is no doubt…(毫无疑问……);have…problem (in) doing sth.(在……方面有问题);some experience of serving foreigners(服务外国人的经验);eager to do sth.(渴望做某事);take… into consideration(考虑……)等。
第三步:遣词造句:同学们在写作时不能逐句翻译,可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯,同时要点表述要完整,文章要通顺,准确使用时态和语态。
第四步:连句成文:写作时要适当使用连词、过渡词和插入语,使文章浑然一体。同时恰当而合理地使用一些高级词汇和句型,如定语从句等,以提高文章档次。
【点睛】范文内容完整,要点全面,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当,上下文意思连贯,符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了较多句式,如:第一段第一句使用了that引导的宾语从句与and引导的并列句;第四句使用了so引导的并列句;第七句使用了if引导的条件状语从句。此外本文还使用了一些高级词汇,如looking for volunteers to receive them;feel excited to write you for the job;the Spoken English Contest;there is no doubt that…;have any problem communicating with them;some experience of serving foreigners;eager to be accepted;take my request into consideration等。全文中没有中国式英语的句式,显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外,文章思路清晰、层次分明,上下句转换自然,为文章增色添彩。
