A
The following four famous paintings—from Jan van Eyck’s portrait to Pablo Picasso’s masterpiece—have stood the test of time.
The Arnolfini Portrait
Jan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is not only visually interesting but also famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through Jan van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism—while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.
The Starry Night
Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, an oil on canvas (油画布), a moderately abstract landscape painting of a night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of Vincent van Gogh’s most famous works.
The Harvesters
The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts (描绘) the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of July and August. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, once held this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.
Guernica
Guernica, a large oil painting, was painted by the Cubist (立体派的) Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed during the war. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an antiwar symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid.
21.Which of the following paintings was produced earliest?
A. Guernica. B. The Harvesters.
C. The Starry Night. D. The Arnolfini Portrait.
22.Who created the painting describing the harvest seasons?

B. It described the painter’s life in hospital.
C. It wasn’t widely recognized before 1941.
D. It was given away to the museum by a collector.
B
Adventure seeker Emma broke her ankle when she fell awkwardly while climbing a rock and spent a week in hospital waiting for an operation on her foot. When she was sent home to recover under strict instructions not to bear any weight, she became so fearful of crutches (拐杖) that she didn’t move for three weeks. “I tried crutches but I kept falling over and injuring myself. So I literally just stayed on the sofa all day,” says Emma.
She was gutted at the thought of missing the Wolf Run—a quarterly (季度的) event that she hasn’t missed since 2014. “If you complete four Wolf Runs in a year, one in each season, you can get Alpha Wolf status,” explains Emma. “This year was going to be my fifth in a row as an Alpha Wolf and I was really upset that I’d lose my status.” So she was willing to try anything to get through the course—even with her injured ankle.
“I was telling my friend that I was going to cancel, but he persuaded me to give it a go. Having something to aim for really kept me going.” Emma completed the run wearing an iWALK2.0, which is a medically approved device and it basically functions like a hi-tech artificial leg, allowing users to walk freely. “I decided to get one and it completely changed my recovery. I could move around the house and start getting out and about again, which had a real impact on my mental well-being.”
On the day of the race, Emma was nervous but the sound of people cheering her on kept her motivated. Emma made it over the finish line in just under six hours and clocked up (达到) her 23rd Wolf Run in six years. “It was an incredible day and my determination to finish combined with the support I received along the way kept me going,” says Emma.
24.Why was Emma frightened to use crutches?
A. She was afraid of recovering slowly. B. She was warned not to move around.
C. She just had an operation on her foot. D. She often got injured when using them.
25.What does the underlined word “gutted” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Extremely sad. B. A bit relieved.
C. Very surprised. D. Pretty cheerful.
26.What actually made Emma take part in the race?
A. Her new hi-tech artificial leg. B. Her fear of letting her friend down.
C. Her strong desire to achieve her ambition. D. Her complete recovery from the operation.
27.Which of the following best describes Emma?
A. Strong-willed. B. Supportive.
C. Creative. D. Humorous.
C
Erik Kobayashi-Solomon spent a day with Dr. Paul Gauthier, a plant physiologist specializing in vertical (垂直的) farming research and came away with several important ideas about vertical farming.
Humans have 12,000 years of experience in growing food, but only a generation’s worth of experience or so in growing crops indoors. We are still progressing up the technology learning curve (曲线). What’s more, traditional farming techniques are based on conditions that are not applicable to vertical farming. Therefore, without taking time to understand the science, vertical farming is not likely to be able to live up to its implied promise.
The cost of powering LED grow lights is one of the biggest problems a vertical farm must overcome. Dr. Louis Albright at Cornell has characterized vertical farms as the “pie-in-the-sky” business. He famously calculates, for instance, that the cost of a loaf of bread would be $ 24 if farmed indoors—the cost is too high. Gauthier acknowledges that energy prices are high but points out that scientific work has shown that only about 6% of available sunlight is used in crop photosynthesis (光合作用), so there may be ways of growing the same plants with less light.
Gauthier also points out that while energy costs are a bit high, vertical farming does create enormous efficiencies in other areas. Water usage may be significantly reduced because the same water can be recycled time and again. Fertilizer use can be greatly reduced and pesticides for pest control are unnecessary. It’s clear that vertical farming offers real value to society.
The future is probably mixed. In some environments—the Middle East, for instance—a move to vertical farming is a no-brainer. An indoor farm in Saudi Arabia, for instance, can use solar energy to power LEDs at low cost without shading other farmland. In other environments, though, the expense of establishing a facility places a high bar on growth and profitability. A large vertical farming and equipment operation only started generating a small profit eight years into its nine-year life.
28.What can we infer about vertical farming in Paragraph 2?
A. It will replace traditional farming one day.
B. It relies on research of more basic science.
C. It can be applicable under different conditions.
D. It actually came into being 12,000 years ago.
29.What does Dr. Louis Albright think of vertical farms?
A. They use less light than traditional ones.
B. They may seem very unlikely to succeed.
C. They can overcome many problems in farming.
D. They do not need any natural sunlight any longer.
30.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A. The ways of reducing costs of vertical farming.
B. The secrets of developing vertical farming.
C. The recent trend of vertical farming.
D. The benefits of vertical farming.
31.Why is the example of “an indoor farm in Saudi Arabia” mentioned?
A. To show vertical farming can work well in some places.
B. To prove solar energy is vital for farming in Saudi Arabia.
C. To confirm the expense of setting up a vertical farm is high.
D. To argue that vegetables do not need to be imported any longer.
D
Researchers discovered a hidden continent on Earth, but it’s not Atlantis. They found it while reconstructing the evolution of Mediterranean region’s complex geology, which rises with mountain ranges and dips with seas.
The continent is called Greater Adria. It’s the size of Greenland and it broke off from North Africa, only to be buried under Southern Europe about 140 million years ago. And chances are you’ve been there without even knowing it. “Forget Atlantis,” said Douwe van Hinsbergen, the study author and professor at Utrecht University. “Without realizing it, vast numbers of tourists spend their holiday each year on the lost continent of Greater Adria.” This area is called Adria by geologists, so the researchers for this study refer to the previously undiscovered continent as Greater Adria.
Most of Greater Adria was underwater, covered by shallow seas, coral reefs and sediments (沉淀物). The sediments formed rocks and those rocks became mountain ranges in these areas: the Alps, the Apennines, the Balkans and Greece. The researchers found that Greater Adria started to become its own continent about 240 million years ago.
This isn’t the first time a lost continent has been found. In January 2017, researchers announced the discovery of a lost continent left over from the supercontinent Gondwana, which began breaking apart 200 million years ago. The leftover (剩余的) piece, which was covered in lava (岩浆), is now under Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean. And in September 2017, a different research team found the lost continent of Zealandia through ocean drilling in the South Pacific. It’s two-thirds of a mile beneath the sea.
Greater Adria isn’t the first lost continent to be found. But if research in past years shows anything, it likely won’t be the last discovery.
32.How did the researchers find Greater Adria?
A. They found it accidentally.
B. They got inspired by the tales of Atlantis.
C. They discovered it after years of searching.
D. They followed the steps of exploring mountain ranges.
33.What do we know about Greater Adria?
A. It is hidden under the sea level.
B. It is much smaller than Greenland.
C. It has existed for about 240 million years.
D. It has been known to many tourists before.
34.Why are the discoveries mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A. To describe how the researchers explored continents.
B. To show some other lost continents have been found.
C. To prove they are closely related to Greater Adria.
D. To explain the reason why Greater Adria got buried.
35.What is the main idea of the text?
A. Atlantis was discovered finally.
B. The undersea world was explored.
C. A hidden mountain was undiscovered.
D. A lost continent was found under Europe.

Easy Ways to Give Yourself a Fresh Start
It doesn’t need to be complicated or challenging to turn a fresh page on each new day.
Whenever we mark a new year—by turning the calendar, returning to school or celebrating a holiday—we are looking for a fresh start. 36 But how? Here are some easy ways to connect with that feeling of starting fresh, whether it’s a new year or simply a new day in our life.
37 This means you have realized what serves your life now and what can stay in your past. Or invest in a new pen and a new notebook. Having fresh supplies can simulate even the common task of creating your to-do list.
Moreover, you can learn something new by opening a book you’ve been expecting to read, searching a question that’s been in your mind, enrolling in a class that motivates your interest. Of course you can simply ask a friend for a fresh idea about an issue. 38
Take a break from technology for an hour, a day, or a week. 39 You should be able to put some space between yourself and digital devices.
One reason why we sometimes struggle to start fresh is that you get stuck with reflecting on worrisome thoughts about the past, the present or even the future. 40 Allow these thoughts into your day only at a brief (30 minutes or less), specific time. The rest of the time, focus on what you are doing that’s new and positive.
How do you give yourself that “fresh start” feeling?
A. Electronic products might not be serving you best.
B. Newness or freshness can guide us on a positive path.
C. Limit your daily “worry time” and make an appointment with yourself.
D. All of us enjoy newness, but what is it that leads to a sense of freshness?
E. Realizing your past mistakes, you should move forward with enthusiasm.
F. Increasing your knowledge on any topic means taking your mind into a fresh area.
G. First, even letting go of a single box or bag of items can give you a refreshing sense.

第二节 书面表达
Dear Allen,
Hearing that you’re interested in the labor practice activity we are involved in at present, I’d like to introduce it to you.
In our school, every student is required to take part in at least sixteen hours of labor practice per semester, including housework and labor activities in and out of school, which is aimed at raising students’ awareness of working. As for me, I usually help to do the housework, which can not only strengthen my family bond, but also relieve the burdens of my parents.
If there are still other questions regarding it, please feel free to contact me.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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。
A
The following four famous paintings—from Jan van Eyck’s portrait to Pablo Picasso’s masterpiece—have stood the test of time.
The Arnolfini Portrait
Jan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is not only visually interesting but also famed. It is also an informative document on fifteenth-century society, through Jan van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism—while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.
The Starry Night
Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, an oil on canvas (油画布), a moderately abstract landscape painting of a night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of Vincent van Gogh’s most famous works.
The Harvesters
The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts (描绘) the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of July and August. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, once held this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.
Guernica
Guernica, a large oil painting, was painted by the Cubist (立体派的) Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed during the war. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an antiwar symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid.
21.Which of the following paintings was produced earliest?
A. Guernica. B. The Harvesters.
C. The Starry Night. D. The Arnolfini Portrait.
22.Who created the painting describing the harvest seasons?
A. Pieter Bruegel the Elder. B. Vincent van Gogh.
C. Jan van Eyck. D. Pablo Picasso.
23.What do we know about the painting The Starry Night?

B. It described the painter’s life in hospital.
C. It wasn’t widely recognized before 1941.
D. It was given away to the museum by a collector.
B
Adventure seeker Emma broke her ankle when she fell awkwardly while climbing a rock and spent a week in hospital waiting for an operation on her foot. When she was sent home to recover under strict instructions not to bear any weight, she became so fearful of crutches (拐杖) that she didn’t move for three weeks. “I tried crutches but I kept falling over and injuring myself. So I literally just stayed on the sofa all day,” says Emma.
She was gutted at the thought of missing the Wolf Run—a quarterly (季度的) event that she hasn’t missed since 2014. “If you complete four Wolf Runs in a year, one in each season, you can get Alpha Wolf status,” explains Emma. “This year was going to be my fifth in a row as an Alpha Wolf and I was really upset that I’d lose my status.” So she was willing to try anything to get through the course—even with her injured ankle.
“I was telling my friend that I was going to cancel, but he persuaded me to give it a go. Having something to aim for really kept me going.” Emma completed the run wearing an iWALK2.0, which is a medically approved device and it basically functions like a hi-tech artificial leg, allowing users to walk freely. “I decided to get one and it completely changed my recovery. I could move around the house and start getting out and about again, which had a real impact on my mental well-being.”
On the day of the race, Emma was nervous but the sound of people cheering her on kept her motivated. Emma made it over the finish line in just under six hours and clocked up (达到) her 23rd Wolf Run in six years. “It was an incredible day and my determination to finish combined with the support I received along the way kept me going,” says Emma.
24.Why was Emma frightened to use crutches?
A. She was afraid of recovering slowly. B. She was warned not to move around.
C. She just had an operation on her foot. D. She often got injured when using them.
25.What does the underlined word “gutted” mean in Paragraph 2?
A. Extremely sad. B. A bit relieved.
C. Very surprised. D. Pretty cheerful.
26.What actually made Emma take part in the race?
A. Her new hi-tech artificial leg. B. Her fear of letting her friend down.
C. Her strong desire to achieve her ambition. D. Her complete recovery from the operation.
27.Which of the following best describes Emma?
A. Strong-willed. B. Supportive.
C. Creative. D. Humorous.
C
Erik Kobayashi-Solomon spent a day with Dr. Paul Gauthier, a plant physiologist specializing in vertical (垂直的) farming research and came away with several important ideas about vertical farming.
Humans have 12,000 years of experience in growing food, but only a generation’s worth of experience or so in growing crops indoors. We are still progressing up the technology learning curve (曲线). What’s more, traditional farming techniques are based on conditions that are not applicable to vertical farming. Therefore, without taking time to understand the science, vertical farming is not likely to be able to live up to its implied promise.
The cost of powering LED grow lights is one of the biggest problems a vertical farm must overcome. Dr. Louis Albright at Cornell has characterized vertical farms as the “pie-in-the-sky” business. He famously calculates, for instance, that the cost of a loaf of bread would be $ 24 if farmed indoors—the cost is too high. Gauthier acknowledges that energy prices are high but points out that scientific work has shown that only about 6% of available sunlight is used in crop photosynthesis (光合作用), so there may be ways of growing the same plants with less light.
Gauthier also points out that while energy costs are a bit high, vertical farming does create enormous efficiencies in other areas. Water usage may be significantly reduced because the same water can be recycled time and again. Fertilizer use can be greatly reduced and pesticides for pest control are unnecessary. It’s clear that vertical farming offers real value to society.
The future is probably mixed. In some environments—the Middle East, for instance—a move to vertical farming is a no-brainer. An indoor farm in Saudi Arabia, for instance, can use solar energy to power LEDs at low cost without shading other farmland. In other environments, though, the expense of establishing a facility places a high bar on growth and profitability. A large vertical farming and equipment operation only started generating a small profit eight years into its nine-year life.
28.What can we infer about vertical farming in Paragraph 2?
A. It will replace traditional farming one day.
B. It relies on research of more basic science.
C. It can be applicable under different conditions.
D. It actually came into being 12,000 years ago.
29.What does Dr. Louis Albright think of vertical farms?
A. They use less light than traditional ones.
B. They may seem very unlikely to succeed.
C. They can overcome many problems in farming.
D. They do not need any natural sunlight any longer.
30.What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A. The ways of reducing costs of vertical farming.
B. The secrets of developing vertical farming.
C. The recent trend of vertical farming.
D. The benefits of vertical farming.
31.Why is the example of “an indoor farm in Saudi Arabia” mentioned?
A. To show vertical farming can work well in some places.
B. To prove solar energy is vital for farming in Saudi Arabia.
C. To confirm the expense of setting up a vertical farm is high.
D. To argue that vegetables do not need to be imported any longer.
D
Researchers discovered a hidden continent on Earth, but it’s not Atlantis. They found it while reconstructing the evolution of Mediterranean region’s complex geology, which rises with mountain ranges and dips with seas.
The continent is called Greater Adria. It’s the size of Greenland and it broke off from North Africa, only to be buried under Southern Europe about 140 million years ago. And chances are you’ve been there without even knowing it. “Forget Atlantis,” said Douwe van Hinsbergen, the study author and professor at Utrecht University. “Without realizing it, vast numbers of tourists spend their holiday each year on the lost continent of Greater Adria.” This area is called Adria by geologists, so the researchers for this study refer to the previously undiscovered continent as Greater Adria.
Most of Greater Adria was underwater, covered by shallow seas, coral reefs and sediments (沉淀物). The sediments formed rocks and those rocks became mountain ranges in these areas: the Alps, the Apennines, the Balkans and Greece. The researchers found that Greater Adria started to become its own continent about 240 million years ago.
This isn’t the first time a lost continent has been found. In January 2017, researchers announced the discovery of a lost continent left over from the supercontinent Gondwana, which began breaking apart 200 million years ago. The leftover (剩余的) piece, which was covered in lava (岩浆), is now under Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean. And in September 2017, a different research team found the lost continent of Zealandia through ocean drilling in the South Pacific. It’s two-thirds of a mile beneath the sea.
Greater Adria isn’t the first lost continent to be found. But if research in past years shows anything, it likely won’t be the last discovery.
32.How did the researchers find Greater Adria?
A. They found it accidentally.
B. They got inspired by the tales of Atlantis.
C. They discovered it after years of searching.
D. They followed the steps of exploring mountain ranges.
33.What do we know about Greater Adria?
A. It is hidden under the sea level.
B. It is much smaller than Greenland.
C. It has existed for about 240 million years.
D. It has been known to many tourists before.
34.Why are the discoveries mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A. To describe how the researchers explored continents.
B. To show some other lost continents have been found.
C. To prove they are closely related to Greater Adria.
D. To explain the reason why Greater Adria got buried.
35.What is the main idea of the text?
A. Atlantis was discovered finally.
B. The undersea world was explored.
C. A hidden mountain was undiscovered.
D. A lost continent was found under Europe.

Easy Ways to Give Yourself a Fresh Start
It doesn’t need to be complicated or challenging to turn a fresh page on each new day.
Whenever we mark a new year—by turning the calendar, returning to school or celebrating a holiday—we are looking for a fresh start. 36 But how? Here are some easy ways to connect with that feeling of starting fresh, whether it’s a new year or simply a new day in our life.
37 This means you have realized what serves your life now and what can stay in your past. Or invest in a new pen and a new notebook. Having fresh supplies can simulate even the common task of creating your to-do list.
Moreover, you can learn something new by opening a book you’ve been expecting to read, searching a question that’s been in your mind, enrolling in a class that motivates your interest. Of course you can simply ask a friend for a fresh idea about an issue. 38
Take a break from technology for an hour, a day, or a week. 39 You should be able to put some space between yourself and digital devices.
One reason why we sometimes struggle to start fresh is that you get stuck with reflecting on worrisome thoughts about the past, the present or even the future. 40 Allow these thoughts into your day only at a brief (30 minutes or less), specific time. The rest of the time, focus on what you are doing that’s new and positive.
How do you give yourself that “fresh start” feeling?
A. Electronic products might not be serving you best.
B. Newness or freshness can guide us on a positive path.
C. Limit your daily “worry time” and make an appointment with yourself.
D. All of us enjoy newness, but what is it that leads to a sense of freshness?
E. Realizing your past mistakes, you should move forward with enthusiasm.
F. Increasing your knowledge on any topic means taking your mind into a fresh area.
G. First, even letting go of a single box or bag of items can give you a refreshing sense.

40.C 本空是一个过渡句。空前一句中提到了“worrisome thoughts”，空后一句提到“Allow these thoughts...specific time”，所以本句讲的应该是与担忧时间相关的内容，C选项中的“worry time”与之呼应，所以选C选项。
第三部分 语言知识运用
第一节
【语篇解读】作者参加了一个名为Blue Stockings的演出，有一位叫Ben Walker的科学老师在其中扮演一个主要的角色。不幸的是，这位科学老师在踢足球时弄伤了鼻子，而碰巧休息的Ella Jones被拉来替演。面对时间紧、任务重、台词记忆和舞台表演技巧不足以及女扮男装等困难，Ella Jones勇于接受挑战，并成功地完成了演出。
41.A 根据下文讲述的Ella勇敢接受挑战，并最终成功地完成了演出可知，当女孩勇敢时，她们会在学习和生活中自由地探索，这种探索可以发现她们的才华和热情。
42.B 根据该句中的“act so bravely”以及下文表述的Ella勇于接受挑战可知，Ella的勇敢表现令作者惊叹不已。take sb.’s breath away“令某人惊叹”。
43.D 根据空后的“Ben broke his nose very badly”可知，这是一件非常不幸的事情。D项意为“不幸地”，符合语境。
44.B 根据语境可知，Ben伤到了鼻子，因此他无法演出了。
45.C 根据下文表述的Ella接受挑战并成功地完成了表演可推知，碰巧休息的Ella被要求去饰演Ben的角色。happen to do sth．“碰巧做某事”。
46.A 参见上题解析。
47.C 根据上文中的“On Saturday night”“playing football on Saturday”可知，Ben周六踢球时伤了鼻子，而演出是在周六晚上，并结合语境可推知，Ella提前三个小时接到了替演通知。three hours’ notice表示“提前三个小时的通知”。
48.C 根据最后一段第一句中的“the audience seemed to love the male character I played”可知，Ella扮演的是一个男性角色。
49.D 根据空后的“the impact of the whole play would be diminished (减弱)”可推知，如果她不能成功地完成演出，整部剧的影响将减弱。carry sth．off “成功地完成”符合语境。
50.B 根据语境可知，不能成功地完成演出并不是世界末日，但是对有关各方来说，这将是令人失望的。
51.A 根据上文讲到的那么多困难并结合语境可知，这里作者想表达的是如果替演的人是自己，自己会逃跑。
52.B 根据该句中的“But”的转折并结合下文的内容可知，Ella接受了这个挑战。rise to the challenge表示“迎接挑战”。
53.C 根据语境可知，尽管Ella感到很吃惊，但她还是接受了安排；空处前后形成了转折关系，故选C。
54.D 根据该句中的“I figured the show must go on”可知，Ella想要帮忙。
55.A 结合该句中的“I wasn’t scared”“realized how much there was”以及语境可推知，Ella到达剧场后才开始感到害怕。not until“直到……才”。
56.C 空后一句表述它不仅仅是关于台词，还和舞台表演技巧有关，结合语境可知，Ella意识到需要应付很多事情。work out“应付，解决”符合语境。A项意为“将……收起”；B项意为“提交，上交”；D项意为“接替，接任”。
57.D 根据该句中的“to perform a role with someone who isn’t as invested，especially if it is an emotional scene”可知，Ella担心其他演员，因为她知道和一个临时替演的人在一起演出一个角色有多难。
58.B 参见上题解析。tough“艰难的”，符合语境。
59.D 根据该段Ella所说的话可知，此处应是演出后Ella被问到演出的进展情况。go“进展，进行”，符合语境。
60.A 此处与第一段中的“When our girls are brave”呼应，升华文章主题，故选A。
第二节
【语篇解读】跨界音乐人郭峰创作的长1014.37米的画作《永生》获得了一项“单人创作的最长的画作”吉尼斯世界纪录称号。
61.length 考查词形转换。此处表示一幅长达1014.37米的画作，根据空前的a和空后的of可知，此处应用名词，a length of...“长达……”，所以填length。
62.which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处引导非限制性定语从句，在从句中充当主语，修饰前面的先行词“the Simatai Great Wall”，应用关系代词which来引导该从句。
63.in 考查固定用法。此处表示当着许多观看者的面，in the presence of sb．意为“在某人面前，当着某人的面”，为固定用法。
64.It 考查代词。分析句子结构可知，该句真正的主语为“to complete the...meaning living forever”，空处作形式主语，所以填It。
65.inspired 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构和空后的“by”可知，inspire和其逻辑主语he为动宾关系，所以填inspired。
66.more familiar 考查形容词的比较级。根据该句中的比较级符号than并结合语境可知，空处含有比较的含义，应用形容词的比较级，familiar为多音节词，比较级为more familiar，所以填more familiar。
67.decades 考查名词的单复数。此处表示数十年来，他的歌曲《让世界充满爱》享誉全国，for decades为习惯用法，表示“数十年来”。
68.largely 考查词形转换。修饰空后的动词using，需要用副词，所以填largely。
69.have been drawing 考查动词的时态。根据该句中的“for more than 10 hours a day over the past months”可知，此处应用现在完成进行时，表示一个动作从过去某时开始，一直延续到说话时刻，强调动作在完成过程中的持续性、重复性。所以填have been drawing。
70.to Iook 考查动词不定式。分析句子结构可知，此处应用动词不定式to look作定语。
第四部分 写作
第一节 短文改错
I have been decided to become a pilot since I am a little kid. Each time I see a plane flying across∧sky, I feel
① ②was ③the
extremely excited but want to fly it. That is why I believe it can make me happily and free. To make my dream
④and ⑤because ⑥happy
come true, I have to be physically fit by keeping a healthy diet and work out regularly. Besides, I must work hard
⑦working
to make great progresses with my studies. Although it is not that easy to being a pilot, I’ll never give up my dream
⑧progress ⑨be
and spare no effort to realize them.
⑩it
①删除been。语态误用。此处表示“我从小就决定要成为一名飞行员，主语I和动词decide为主动关系，故been多余，应删除。
②am改为was。时态误用。此处叙述的事发生在过去，应用一般过去时。
③sky前加the。冠词漏用。修饰独一无二的自然现象或事物应用定冠词the。
④but改为and。连词误用。根据语境可知，“我感到非常激动”和“想要开飞机”为逻辑上的顺承关系，故应用and。
⑤why改为because。连接词误用。根据语境可知，此处表示“这是因为我相信它能让我快乐和自由”，故此处应用because。
⑥happily改为happy。副词和形容词混用。分析句子结构可知，此处与and后的free并列作宾语补足语，故用形容词happy。
⑦work改为working。动词形式误用。分析句子结构可知，此处和keeping a healthy diet并列作介词by的宾语，故用working。
⑧progresses改为progress。名词误用。progress为不可数名词，没有复数形式。
⑨being改为be。动词形式误用。分析句子结构并结合句意可知，此处考查“it is+adj.+to do sth．”的用法，故此处应用be。
⑩them改为it。代词误用。此处指代的是上文出现的my dream，其为单数形式，应用代词it。
第二节 书面表达
Dear Allen,
Hearing that you’re interested in the labor practice activity we are involved in at present, I’d like to introduce it to you.
In our school, every student is required to take part in at least sixteen hours of labor practice per semester, including housework and labor activities in and out of school, which is aimed at raising students’ awareness of working. As for me, I usually help to do the housework, which can not only strengthen my family bond, but also relieve the burdens of my parents.
If there are still other questions regarding it, please feel free to contact me.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
