Ⅲ.阅读理解
话题：节假日活动 难度星级：☆
There are many unique festivals around the world.Here are some of them.
Las Fallas，Spain
Las Fallas is one of Spain’s strangest and craziest festivals.The focus of this festival is to create and destroy dolls.These dolls are lifelike and usually make fun of dishonest politicians and famous people in Spain.Many dolls are several feet tall.They remain complete until March 19th，after which men fill them with fireworks.All the streetlights are turned off and the dolls are set on fire on March 19th.
Day of the Dead，Mexico
Day of the Dead is traditionally celebrated on the 1st and 2nd of November in Mexico.This festival celebrates the lives of loved ones around you who have died.Celebrations can take a humorous tone as celebrants remember funny events about the dead.Toys are brought for the dead children and bottles of wine for adults.
Mardi Gras，U.S.A.
This day can occur anytime between February 3rd and March 9th，depending on when Easter is held that year.It is also called Fat Tuesday，reflecting the practice of eating richer and fatty foods.Other practices include wearing masks and parades，etc.
Night of the Radishes，Mexico
It’s one of the most colorful and unique festivals of Mexico.It is celebrated on December 23rd.As crazy as it sounds，the festival lasts only a few hours due to the limited lifetime of vegetables as folk art.
语篇解读 本文主要介绍了世界上比较特殊的四个节日：西班牙的法雅节、墨西哥的亡灵节、美国的狂欢节和墨西哥的萝卜节，并对这四个节日的意义以及活动内容作了简要介绍。
23．What do we know about the Las Fallas?
A．Politicians love it very much.
B．It is held mainly for the dead.
C．It’s celebrated on the 1st of November.
D．Dolls are the essential elements.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据Las Fallas，Spain部分的“The focus of this festival is to create and destroy dolls.These dolls are lifelike and usually make fun of dishonest politicians and famous people in Spain.”可知，这个节日的重点是创造和摧毁玩偶，这些玩偶栩栩如生，经常取笑西班牙不诚实的政客和名人。因此这个节日的主要焦点就是玩偶。
24．Who would probably love the Mardi Gras?
A．Those who love watching parades.
B．Those who enjoy drinking wine.
C．Those who are fond of sporting events.
D．Those who want to eat foods with low fat.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据Mardi Gras，U.S.A.部分的“reflecting the practice of eating richer and fatty foods.Other practices include wearing masks and parades，etc.”可知，狂欢节的其他习俗有戴面具和游行等，因此那些喜欢观看游行的人可能喜欢这个节日。
25．Why does the Night of the Radishes last only a few hours?
A．The artworks don’t last long.
B．Mexicans can’t afford the time.
C．Vegetables will be sold at the market.
D．People aren’t interested in the festival.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据文章最后一句中的“the festival lasts only a few hours due to the limited lifetime of vegetables as folk art”可知，由于作为艺术品的蔬菜保存时间有限，这个节日只持续几个小时。
话题：文学 难度星级：☆☆
Amazon China，one of the largest online booksellers，unveiled the bestselling books in China for the first half of 2017 on Tuesday，disclosing Chinese people’s reading habits.
Japanese author Keigo Higashino’s Miracles of the Namiya General Store topped the list of the most popular paper books，followed by late Chinese writer Yang Jiang’s We Three and Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari’s Homo Deus：A Brief History of Tomorrow.
In the list of paid ebooks on Kindle，the top three places were taken by Chinese writer Zhou Meisen’s In the Name of People，Keigo Higashino’s Miracles of the Namiya General Store and Fall of Giants—the first part of British author Ken Follett’s historical The Century Trilogy.
Amazon has also released a ranking of Chinese cities where people read most.Hefei and Zhengzhou occupy the first and second spot respectively for the second straight year.The ranking was based on the ratio of books sales compared to the volume of all products sold on Amazon during the first six months of the year.
Popular TV dramas have increased the sales of the original books.In the Name of People，an anticorruption novel，has become the most favored choice on Kindle’s paid ebooks and the eighth popular printed book in Amazon.The company has attributed the sales boom to the novel’s super TV adaptation，and it went online in March.Statistics show the purchases of the book’s eversion increased 24 times three months after its screening，and printed copies rose 12 times.Hong Kong author Isabel Nee Yehsu’s The First Half of My Life is another example.The recent TV adaptation of the novel caused a book buying craze in China.Purchases of the book’s hard copies rose 600 times a week after the TV play was aired earlier this month.
语篇解读 亚马逊中国公布了2017年畅销书榜单，也因此揭示了中国人的阅读习惯。亚马逊也发布了中国读书人数量最多的城市，也展现了一个现象：现在流行的电视剧刺激了原著的销量。
26．Which is listed among the top three in terms of both paper books and paid ebooks?
A．We Three.
B．In the Name of People.
C．Homo Deus：A Brief History of Tomorrow.
D．Miracles of the Namiya General Store.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Japanese author Keigo Higashino’s Miracles of the Namiya General Store topped the list of the most popular paper books”和第三段中的“In the list of paid ebooks on Kindle，the top three places were taken by...Keigo Higashino’s Miracles of the Namiya General Store”可知，在纸质书和电子书榜单中都在前三的是《解忧杂货店》。
27．What does “it” mean in Paragraph 5?
A．The sales boom.
B．The most favored choice.
C．The TV adaptation of the novel.
D．The purchase of the book’s eversion.
答案 C
解析 代词指代题。it为代词，由前面的“The company has attributed the sales boom to the novel’s super TV adaptation”可知，该公司将销售量的激增归因于这部小说的电视改编版，故推断出it指小说的电视改编版。
28．Which column does the passage probably come from?
A．Culture. B．News.
C．Sports. D．Entertainment.
答案 A
解析 文章出处题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了亚马逊中国公布的中国2017年畅销书榜单，由此推断，本文很可能来自文化专栏。
话题：现代技术 难度星级：☆☆☆
A Japanese company is developing a pair of smart glasses that can help those with visual or comprehension problems to read written text more easily.Called the Oton Glass，the glasses are meant to translate text into sound using two cameras and an earpiece，both fitted to its frame.
Half of the lens(镜片) is a mirror that reflects the wearer’s eyes back to the first camera，which tracks eye movement.The other camera captures the text.Wearers use the glasses by staring at the text they can’t read and blinking(眨眼) to trigger the glasses.Then the captured words are sent to a cloud system，which processes the text and turns it into sound played through the earpiece.If the system is unable to identify the words，the images are sent to a remote worker who can deal with them.
The Oton Glass lead designer，Keisuke Shimakage，started working on the glasses in 2012 to aid his father，who had developed dyslexia，a condition that makes it difficult for someone to read and spell.While his father eventually recovered，Shimakage continued his development in order to help others with the disorder.
Currently，the Oton Glass is seeking funding.Backers can get a pair of the glasses for 5,000 yen(roughly $47)．
Smart glasses aren’t a new concept，but it’s difficult to point to any single pair of smart glasses that people have reviewed favorably.It could，perhaps，be that previous products tried to do too much，or were too expensive.That’s why Intel’s Vaunt smart glasses stripped out some features，like its camera，LCD screen，and speakers.The Oton Glass is for a very specific audience，and its relatively low price could make it more appealing to those who want an affordable way to understand the text around them.
语篇解读 本文主要介绍了一家日本公司正在研发的一款智能眼镜Oton，它可以帮助那些有视力障碍或理解力有问题的人更加容易地阅读。
29．What was Keisuke’s original purpose in designing the Oton Glass?
A．To treat his father’s disease.
B．To translate text into sound.
C．To assist his father to read.
D．To make written text easier to read.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“...started working on the glasses in 2012 to aid his father，who had developed dyslexia，a condition that makes it difficult for someone to read and spell.”可知，该设计师设计这款眼镜的初衷是帮助他的父亲阅读。
30．What is the right order how the Oton Glass works?
a．The camera captures the words.
b．The wearer stares at the text.
c．The wearer hears the sound via the earpiece.
d．The cloud system turns the text into sound.
e．The wearer blinks to get the glasses working.
A．a，b，e，c，d B．e，b，c，d，a
C．b，d，a，e，c D．b，e，a，d，c
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Wearers use the glasses by staring at the text they can’t read and blinking(眨眼) to trigger the glasses.Then the captured words are sent to a cloud system，which processes the text and turns it into sound played through the earpiece.”可知，该眼镜的使用步骤是：使用者首先盯着文本看，接着眨眼睛启动眼镜，眼镜中的照相机捕捉到文本信息发送到云系统，之后云系统处理信息把它变成声音播放给使用者。故选D。
31．The underlined part “stripped out” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “ ”．
A．improved B．removed
C．increased D．invented
答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的“...that previous products tried to do too much，or were too expensive.That’s why...”及“and its relatively low price could make it more appealing to those who want an affordable way to understand the text around them”可知，之前的智能眼镜产品功能过多、价格高昂，而Oton眼镜价格相对较低。由此可推知，鉴于以上这些原因，Vaunt智能眼镜制造者才“移除”了一些功能。strip out意为“拆掉，拿走”，故选B。
32．What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．The advantages of the Oton Glass.
B．The characteristics of smart glasses.
C．Consumers’ evaluation of the Oton Glass.
D．The target audiences of various smart glasses.
答案 A
解析 段落大意题。通读最后一段可知，前两句描述了先前的智能眼镜功能过多、且价格高的缺陷，最后一句突出了Oton眼镜的目标顾客针对性较强，且价格适中，故本段主要介绍了Oton眼镜的优势。
Ⅳ.七选五
Art is for everyone and it exists everywhere.When it comes to appreciating an art painting，there is no right or wrong way. 33
·Know the artist.To know the artist is the first step toward appreciating an art painting. 34 Once you get familiar with the paintings from a particular artist，you will start relating to their unique style.
· 35 This is really tough.There are different styles and types of art mediums，realism，surrealism，and impressionism，to name but a few.So for beginners，it’s advisable to keep things simple.Try to understand if the art you see is a watercolor，oil painting or acrylics(丙烯画) or sketch(速写) on paper.You also need to figure out the styles of the work—figurative(形象的) or abstract.
·Try and find a meaning.To read between lines and colors and understand what the artist means can be very difficult. 36 So here’s a simple guide.Figurative paintings are easy because they are an honest description of emotions on the canvas(油画布)．Still，it doesn’t mean your understanding is the same as the artist’s.Abstracts attempt to create magic with shapes，lines and colors and their meaning is different for everyone who sees it.
·Search for emotions.Not every work of art will catch your eyes or emotions at first sight. 37 Explore the art work with your eyes.
Once you are aware of these things，you will be able to break the ice with art.
A．Discover your taste and styles.
B．Know the type of art and medium used.
C．Some of these art works will take time to reach you.
D．You just might find that art changes the way you see the world.
E．Learning something about the artist adds to the appreciation of art.
F．A simple art painting might be understood for different people.
G．The following ideas may help you join in the conversation between you and the artist.
语篇解读 当今社会艺术品很多，喜欢艺术的大有人在。然而欣赏艺术要求人们有一定的欣赏水平和艺术知识。本文从提前了解艺术家、了解艺术种类、发现其所含意义等几个方面向读者介绍了欣赏艺术画作的方法。
33．答案 G
解析 根据空前一句“When it comes to appreciating an art painting，there is no right or wrong way.”可知，欣赏艺术画作没有什么对或错的方式。而下文从几个方面介绍了欣赏艺术画作的方法，所以，本空应为承上启下的句子。G项中的The following ideas为重点提示，引出下文的信息。故选G项。
34．答案 E
解析 根据空前一句可知，了解艺术家是欣赏其艺术画作的第一步。E项中的Learning something about the artist(了解艺术家)与之相呼应，故选E项。
35．答案 B
解析 根据下文中的“There are different styles and types of art mediums，realism，surrealism，and impressionism，to name but a few.”可知，艺术有不同的风格以及不同的表现方法，后文则具体地介绍了不同的风格和表现方法，由此可知本段主要是关于艺术风格和表现方法的。本空位于段首，所以本空为总结句，对下文进行概括。故选B项。
36．答案 F
解析 根据空前一句可知，通过阅读线条和颜色来理解艺术家的心思很难，而空后则提出了一些简单的指导方法。所以本空与不同的人对艺术品有不同的理解有关，故选F项。
37．答案 C
解析 根据空前一句“Not every work of art will catch your eyes or emotions at first sight.”可知，并非每一件艺术品都能让你第一眼便被吸引或激起你的情感，空后一句则提到了让读者用眼睛去探索，所以本空为过渡句，C项(理解某些艺术品会需要一些时间。)符合语境。

Ⅵ.语法填空
We are currently living in a world 58. rapid advances in medicine and technology influence our lives on 59. regular basis.One technology，which in recent years 60.
(develop) very quickly，is cloning.
Clones refer to animals or plants that are produced to be exact 61. (copy) of one another.Clones of different kinds are produced in various ways，and they have become 62.
(value) in many medical applications and biological experiments.Most are produced in the laboratory，with some of them 63. (occur) in several species in a natural way.
A report in 2018 had pictures of Macaque monkeys that had been cloned successfully.Since they are primates(灵长目动物) like us，it gets us to come even 64. (close) to finding the right procedures of the cloning of humans.
This comes to the question why we would need or want to do this.Would it be 65.
the best interest of humankind to develop this technology？Besides，the moral questions that will be raised 66. (be) unbelievable，and would it be an accomplishment that could benefit humankind enough 67. (balance) the ill effects that it might produce?
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍飞速发展的医学和技术常常影响着我们的生活，其中一种技术就是克隆。本文介绍了克隆的概念、现状以及存在的一些问题。
58.答案 where
解析 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可以发现，空前是主句，空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词world，空处在从句中作地点状语，故用where。
59．答案 a
解析 考查冠词。飞速发展的医学和技术常常影响我们的生活。on a regular basis定期地，经常地，故填不定冠词a。
60．答案 has developed/has been developing
解析 考查动词时态。根据时间状语“in recent years”可知，develop的动作从过去开始持续到现在，并有可能持续下去，故应用现在完成时或现在完成进行时，故用has developed或has been developing。
61．答案 copies
解析 考查名词复数。copy在此表示“复制品”，是可数名词。根据后面的one another“彼此，互相”可知，此处copy不止一个，故用copy的复数形式。
62．答案 valuable
解析 考查形容词。克隆在很多医疗应用和生物实验中变得很重要。根据语境和系动词后跟形容词的用法可知，此处用value的形容词形式valuable “珍贵的，很重要的”。
63．答案 occurring
解析 考查非谓语动词。大多数克隆是在实验室中进行的，还有一些在一些物种身上自然发生。逗号前是完整的一个句子，逗号后是“with＋宾语＋宾补”的复合结构，因为occur是不及物动词，且occur与其主语在逻辑上是主谓关系，故用现在分词作宾补。注意：occur的现在分词形式是先双写r再加ing。
64．答案 closer
解析 考查副词的比较级。根据句意和空前的even可知，空处应用副词的比较级closer。
65．答案 in
解析 考查介词。in the best interest of...意思是“对……最有利”，是固定搭配。
66．答案 are
解析 考查时态和主谓一致。此处描述客观事实，故用一般现在时；由句子主语moral questions为复数可知，谓语动词应用are。
67．答案 to balance
解析 考查非谓语动词。此外，将要提出的道德问题是令人难以置信的，它是否会是一项成就，足以使人类受益，以平衡其可能产生的不良影响？enough to do sth.足以做某事。
Ⅶ.应用文写作
假如你是Sam，早上接到牙医电话，催促你去接受牙齿治疗。因为牙痛，在过去的两个星期你经常睡不好觉。考虑到最近的工作安排，因为星期三(4月4日)不像其他工作日那么忙，所以你决定在那天请一天假，恳求经理能准假。请根据以上内容写一个假条。
注意：
1．词数80左右；
2．可适当增加内容，以使行文连贯；
3．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。
Dear Manager，
Yours，
Sam
参考范文
Dear Manager，
I would like to know if I could ask for a casual leave of absence for one day on April 4th，this Wednesday.This morning I received a telephone call from my dentist，urging me to go to his practice for immediate treatment of my teeth.I have been suffering a stinging pain，depriving me of my sleep during the past fortnight.As Wednesday is not as busy as the other weekdays，I think a oneday leave，this Wednesday may be the best solution.I apologize for the inconvenience my absence from work may cause.
I’m looking forward to your kind answer.
Yours，
Sam

Ⅲ.阅读理解
话题：节假日活动 难度星级：☆
There are many unique festivals around the world.Here are some of them.
Las Fallas，Spain
Las Fallas is one of Spain’s strangest and craziest festivals.The focus of this festival is to create and destroy dolls.These dolls are lifelike and usually make fun of dishonest politicians and famous people in Spain.Many dolls are several feet tall.They remain complete until March 19th，after which men fill them with fireworks.All the streetlights are turned off and the dolls are set on fire on March 19th.
Day of the Dead，Mexico
Day of the Dead is traditionally celebrated on the 1st and 2nd of November in Mexico.This festival celebrates the lives of loved ones around you who have died.Celebrations can take a humorous tone as celebrants remember funny events about the dead.Toys are brought for the dead children and bottles of wine for adults.
Mardi Gras，U.S.A.
This day can occur anytime between February 3rd and March 9th，depending on when Easter is held that year.It is also called Fat Tuesday，reflecting the practice of eating richer and fatty foods.Other practices include wearing masks and parades，etc.
Night of the Radishes，Mexico
It’s one of the most colorful and unique festivals of Mexico.It is celebrated on December 23rd.As crazy as it sounds，the festival lasts only a few hours due to the limited lifetime of vegetables as folk art.
语篇解读 本文主要介绍了世界上比较特殊的四个节日：西班牙的法雅节、墨西哥的亡灵节、美国的狂欢节和墨西哥的萝卜节，并对这四个节日的意义以及活动内容作了简要介绍。
23．What do we know about the Las Fallas?
A．Politicians love it very much.
B．It is held mainly for the dead.
C．It’s celebrated on the 1st of November.
D．Dolls are the essential elements.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据Las Fallas，Spain部分的“The focus of this festival is to create and destroy dolls.These dolls are lifelike and usually make fun of dishonest politicians and famous people in Spain.”可知，这个节日的重点是创造和摧毁玩偶，这些玩偶栩栩如生，经常取笑西班牙不诚实的政客和名人。因此这个节日的主要焦点就是玩偶。
24．Who would probably love the Mardi Gras?
A．Those who love watching parades.
B．Those who enjoy drinking wine.
C．Those who are fond of sporting events.
D．Those who want to eat foods with low fat.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据Mardi Gras，U.S.A.部分的“reflecting the practice of eating richer and fatty foods.Other practices include wearing masks and parades，etc.”可知，狂欢节的其他习俗有戴面具和游行等，因此那些喜欢观看游行的人可能喜欢这个节日。
25．Why does the Night of the Radishes last only a few hours?
A．The artworks don’t last long.
B．Mexicans can’t afford the time.
C．Vegetables will be sold at the market.
D．People aren’t interested in the festival.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据文章最后一句中的“the festival lasts only a few hours due to the limited lifetime of vegetables as folk art”可知，由于作为艺术品的蔬菜保存时间有限，这个节日只持续几个小时。

Amazon has also released a ranking of Chinese cities where people read most.Hefei and Zhengzhou occupy the first and second spot respectively for the second straight year.The ranking was based on the ratio of books sales compared to the volume of all products sold on Amazon during the first six months of the year.
Popular TV dramas have increased the sales of the original books.In the Name of People，an anticorruption novel，has become the most favored choice on Kindle’s paid ebooks and the eighth popular printed book in Amazon.The company has attributed the sales boom to the novel’s super TV adaptation，and it went online in March.Statistics show the purchases of the book’s eversion increased 24 times three months after its screening，and printed copies rose 12 times.Hong Kong author Isabel Nee Yehsu’s The First Half of My Life is another example.The recent TV adaptation of the novel caused a book buying craze in China.Purchases of the book’s hard copies rose 600 times a week after the TV play was aired earlier this month.
语篇解读 亚马逊中国公布了2017年畅销书榜单，也因此揭示了中国人的阅读习惯。亚马逊也发布了中国读书人数量最多的城市，也展现了一个现象：现在流行的电视剧刺激了原著的销量。
26．Which is listed among the top three in terms of both paper books and paid ebooks?
A．We Three.
B．In the Name of People.
C．Homo Deus：A Brief History of Tomorrow.
D．Miracles of the Namiya General Store.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Japanese author Keigo Higashino’s Miracles of the Namiya General Store topped the list of the most popular paper books”和第三段中的“In the list of paid ebooks on Kindle，the top three places were taken by...Keigo Higashino’s Miracles of the Namiya General Store”可知，在纸质书和电子书榜单中都在前三的是《解忧杂货店》。
27．What does “it” mean in Paragraph 5?
A．The sales boom.
B．The most favored choice.
C．The TV adaptation of the novel.
D．The purchase of the book’s eversion.
答案 C
解析 代词指代题。it为代词，由前面的“The company has attributed the sales boom to the novel’s super TV adaptation”可知，该公司将销售量的激增归因于这部小说的电视改编版，故推断出it指小说的电视改编版。
28．Which column does the passage probably come from?
A．Culture. B．News.
C．Sports. D．Entertainment.
答案 A
解析 文章出处题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了亚马逊中国公布的中国2017年畅销书榜单，由此推断，本文很可能来自文化专栏。
话题：现代技术 难度星级：☆☆☆
A Japanese company is developing a pair of smart glasses that can help those with visual or comprehension problems to read written text more easily.Called the Oton Glass，the glasses are meant to translate text into sound using two cameras and an earpiece，both fitted to its frame.
Half of the lens(镜片) is a mirror that reflects the wearer’s eyes back to the first camera，which tracks eye movement.The other camera captures the text.Wearers use the glasses by staring at the text they can’t read and blinking(眨眼) to trigger the glasses.Then the captured words are sent to a cloud system，which processes the text and turns it into sound played through the earpiece.If the system is unable to identify the words，the images are sent to a remote worker who can deal with them.
The Oton Glass lead designer，Keisuke Shimakage，started working on the glasses in 2012 to aid his father，who had developed dyslexia，a condition that makes it difficult for someone to read and spell.While his father eventually recovered，Shimakage continued his development in order to help others with the disorder.
Currently，the Oton Glass is seeking funding.Backers can get a pair of the glasses for 5,000 yen(roughly $47)．
Smart glasses aren’t a new concept，but it’s difficult to point to any single pair of smart glasses that people have reviewed favorably.It could，perhaps，be that previous products tried to do too much，or were too expensive.That’s why Intel’s Vaunt smart glasses stripped out some features，like its camera，LCD screen，and speakers.The Oton Glass is for a very specific audience，and its relatively low price could make it more appealing to those who want an affordable way to understand the text around them.
语篇解读 本文主要介绍了一家日本公司正在研发的一款智能眼镜Oton，它可以帮助那些有视力障碍或理解力有问题的人更加容易地阅读。
29．What was Keisuke’s original purpose in designing the Oton Glass?
A．To treat his father’s disease.
B．To translate text into sound.
C．To assist his father to read.
D．To make written text easier to read.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“...started working on the glasses in 2012 to aid his father，who had developed dyslexia，a condition that makes it difficult for someone to read and spell.”可知，该设计师设计这款眼镜的初衷是帮助他的父亲阅读。
30．What is the right order how the Oton Glass works?
a．The camera captures the words.
b．The wearer stares at the text.
c．The wearer hears the sound via the earpiece.
d．The cloud system turns the text into sound.
e．The wearer blinks to get the glasses working.
A．a，b，e，c，d B．e，b，c，d，a
C．b，d，a，e，c D．b，e，a，d，c
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Wearers use the glasses by staring at the text they can’t read and blinking(眨眼) to trigger the glasses.Then the captured words are sent to a cloud system，which processes the text and turns it into sound played through the earpiece.”可知，该眼镜的使用步骤是：使用者首先盯着文本看，接着眨眼睛启动眼镜，眼镜中的照相机捕捉到文本信息发送到云系统，之后云系统处理信息把它变成声音播放给使用者。故选D。
31．The underlined part “stripped out” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “ ”．
A．improved B．removed
C．increased D．invented
答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的“...that previous products tried to do too much，or were too expensive.That’s why...”及“and its relatively low price could make it more appealing to those who want an affordable way to understand the text around them”可知，之前的智能眼镜产品功能过多、价格高昂，而Oton眼镜价格相对较低。由此可推知，鉴于以上这些原因，Vaunt智能眼镜制造者才“移除”了一些功能。strip out意为“拆掉，拿走”，故选B。
32．What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．The advantages of the Oton Glass.
B．The characteristics of smart glasses.
C．Consumers’ evaluation of the Oton Glass.
D．The target audiences of various smart glasses.
答案 A
解析 段落大意题。通读最后一段可知，前两句描述了先前的智能眼镜功能过多、且价格高的缺陷，最后一句突出了Oton眼镜的目标顾客针对性较强，且价格适中，故本段主要介绍了Oton眼镜的优势。
Ⅳ.七选五
Art is for everyone and it exists everywhere.When it comes to appreciating an art painting，there is no right or wrong way. 33
·Know the artist.To know the artist is the first step toward appreciating an art painting. 34 Once you get familiar with the paintings from a particular artist，you will start relating to their unique style.
· 35 This is really tough.There are different styles and types of art mediums，realism，surrealism，and impressionism，to name but a few.So for beginners，it’s advisable to keep things simple.Try to understand if the art you see is a watercolor，oil painting or acrylics(丙烯画) or sketch(速写) on paper.You also need to figure out the styles of the work—figurative(形象的) or abstract.
·Try and find a meaning.To read between lines and colors and understand what the artist means can be very difficult. 36 So here’s a simple guide.Figurative paintings are easy because they are an honest description of emotions on the canvas(油画布)．Still，it doesn’t mean your understanding is the same as the artist’s.Abstracts attempt to create magic with shapes，lines and colors and their meaning is different for everyone who sees it.
·Search for emotions.Not every work of art will catch your eyes or emotions at first sight. 37 Explore the art work with your eyes.
Once you are aware of these things，you will be able to break the ice with art.
A．Discover your taste and styles.
B．Know the type of art and medium used.
C．Some of these art works will take time to reach you.
D．You just might find that art changes the way you see the world.
E．Learning something about the artist adds to the appreciation of art.
F．A simple art painting might be understood for different people.
G．The following ideas may help you join in the conversation between you and the artist.

33．答案 G
解析 根据空前一句“When it comes to appreciating an art painting，there is no right or wrong way.”可知，欣赏艺术画作没有什么对或错的方式。而下文从几个方面介绍了欣赏艺术画作的方法，所以，本空应为承上启下的句子。G项中的The following ideas为重点提示，引出下文的信息。故选G项。
34．答案 E
解析 根据空前一句可知，了解艺术家是欣赏其艺术画作的第一步。E项中的Learning something about the artist(了解艺术家)与之相呼应，故选E项。
35．答案 B
解析 根据下文中的“There are different styles and types of art mediums，realism，surrealism，and impressionism，to name but a few.”可知，艺术有不同的风格以及不同的表现方法，后文则具体地介绍了不同的风格和表现方法，由此可知本段主要是关于艺术风格和表现方法的。本空位于段首，所以本空为总结句，对下文进行概括。故选B项。
36．答案 F
解析 根据空前一句可知，通过阅读线条和颜色来理解艺术家的心思很难，而空后则提出了一些简单的指导方法。所以本空与不同的人对艺术品有不同的理解有关，故选F项。
37．答案 C
解析 根据空前一句“Not every work of art will catch your eyes or emotions at first sight.”可知，并非每一件艺术品都能让你第一眼便被吸引或激起你的情感，空后一句则提到了让读者用眼睛去探索，所以本空为过渡句，C项(理解某些艺术品会需要一些时间。)符合语境。

Ⅵ.语法填空
We are currently living in a world 58. rapid advances in medicine and technology influence our lives on 59. regular basis.One technology，which in recent years 60.
(develop) very quickly，is cloning.
Clones refer to animals or plants that are produced to be exact 61. (copy) of one another.Clones of different kinds are produced in various ways，and they have become 62.
(value) in many medical applications and biological experiments.Most are produced in the laboratory，with some of them 63. (occur) in several species in a natural way.
A report in 2018 had pictures of Macaque monkeys that had been cloned successfully.Since they are primates(灵长目动物) like us，it gets us to come even 64. (close) to finding the right procedures of the cloning of humans.
This comes to the question why we would need or want to do this.Would it be 65.
the best interest of humankind to develop this technology？Besides，the moral questions that will be raised 66. (be) unbelievable，and would it be an accomplishment that could benefit humankind enough 67. (balance) the ill effects that it might produce?
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍飞速发展的医学和技术常常影响着我们的生活，其中一种技术就是克隆。本文介绍了克隆的概念、现状以及存在的一些问题。
58.答案 where
解析 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可以发现，空前是主句，空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词world，空处在从句中作地点状语，故用where。
59．答案 a
解析 考查冠词。飞速发展的医学和技术常常影响我们的生活。on a regular basis定期地，经常地，故填不定冠词a。
60．答案 has developed/has been developing
解析 考查动词时态。根据时间状语“in recent years”可知，develop的动作从过去开始持续到现在，并有可能持续下去，故应用现在完成时或现在完成进行时，故用has developed或has been developing。
61．答案 copies
解析 考查名词复数。copy在此表示“复制品”，是可数名词。根据后面的one another“彼此，互相”可知，此处copy不止一个，故用copy的复数形式。
62．答案 valuable
解析 考查形容词。克隆在很多医疗应用和生物实验中变得很重要。根据语境和系动词后跟形容词的用法可知，此处用value的形容词形式valuable “珍贵的，很重要的”。
63．答案 occurring
解析 考查非谓语动词。大多数克隆是在实验室中进行的，还有一些在一些物种身上自然发生。逗号前是完整的一个句子，逗号后是“with＋宾语＋宾补”的复合结构，因为occur是不及物动词，且occur与其主语在逻辑上是主谓关系，故用现在分词作宾补。注意：occur的现在分词形式是先双写r再加ing。
64．答案 closer
解析 考查副词的比较级。根据句意和空前的even可知，空处应用副词的比较级closer。
65．答案 in
解析 考查介词。in the best interest of...意思是“对……最有利”，是固定搭配。
66．答案 are
解析 考查时态和主谓一致。此处描述客观事实，故用一般现在时；由句子主语moral questions为复数可知，谓语动词应用are。
67．答案 to balance
解析 考查非谓语动词。此外，将要提出的道德问题是令人难以置信的，它是否会是一项成就，足以使人类受益，以平衡其可能产生的不良影响？enough to do sth.足以做某事。
Ⅶ.应用文写作
假如你是Sam，早上接到牙医电话，催促你去接受牙齿治疗。因为牙痛，在过去的两个星期你经常睡不好觉。考虑到最近的工作安排，因为星期三(4月4日)不像其他工作日那么忙，所以你决定在那天请一天假，恳求经理能准假。请根据以上内容写一个假条。
注意：
1．词数80左右；
