At the age of 4, I began attending the choir at St. James Church. My mother decided that joining the choir would provide me with musical instruction. I was initially joined by a lot of kids at St. James, making choir a fun, social task, but as I grew older, one by one, my friends began dropping out.
St. James was situated on the Upper East Side, one of the fanciest areas in New York, while I came from the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bushwick. Some children at the choir proudly showed off the signs of their good education whose cost was nearly as much as my mother’s yearly wage, while I wore my uniform of jeans and a Tshirt. They knew me as the girl from Brooklyn, the chorister who went to public school. This discrepancy (差异) made me very uncomfortable.
I begged my mom to let me follow the path of my friends, but she replied with a “NO”. As the years went on, I continued to bother my mother. Her answers began to lessen in severity. She said “Just do it for one more year” or “Are you sure?” Not seeing much hope, I began to withdraw my constant requests. Gradually I enjoyed finding my voice every week in church. After years in the choir, people started to acknowledge me for my voice rather than my address and I began to appreciate music and my habitual complaints (抱怨) about the choir were completely gone.
Through the choir, I learned that if you continue with something long enough, you will receive some sort of benefit from it and maybe even grow to love it. Because of the choir，I found my voice in a small church. Because of the choir, I am willing to go wherever life will take me with an open mind.
34. Why did the author’s mother send her to the choir?
A. She expected to make her sociable. B. She wanted her to learn to sing.
C. She was too busy to take care of her. D. She followed a friend’s suggestions.
35. Why did the author want to give up the choir?
A. She lost interest in singing. B. She felt uneasy and embarrassed.
C. She hoped to get a better education. D. She decided to help support her family.
36. How did the author’s mother react to her repeated requests?
A. She didn’t refuse them flatly. B. She was very angry about them.
C. She agreed to them completely. D. She simply ignored them.
37. What lesson has the author learned from her choir experience?
A. Treasure what we have. B. Stick to what we are doing.
C. Be curious about our daily life. D. Be grateful to people around us.
【答案】34. B 35. B 36. A 37. B
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了作者在唱诗班时因为和其他孩子的差异，感觉不舒服和尴尬，想要放弃，在妈妈的鼓励下坚持下来，最终获得收获的故事。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“My mother decided that joining the choir would provide me with musical instruction.”（我母亲断定加入唱诗班将为我提供音乐指导。）可知，作者的母亲想让作者加入唱诗班，因为她认为加入唱诗班将为作者提供音乐指导，由此可知，作者的母亲把她送到唱诗班是因为她想让她学唱歌。故选B项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“St. James was situated on the Upper East Side, one of the fanciest areas in New York, while I came from the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bushwick.”（圣詹姆斯位于上东区，纽约最繁华的地区之一，而我来自布鲁克林的布什维克区。）和They knew me as the girl from Brooklyn, the chorister who went to public school. This discrepancy (差异) made me very uncomfortable.（他们知道我是来自布鲁克林的女孩，一个上公立学校的唱诗班歌手。这种差异让我很不舒服。）可知，作者接触的同学都是来自繁华地区的孩子，而作者只是公立学校的普通学生，这种落差让作者很不舒服，很尴尬，所以她想放弃去唱诗班。由此可推断出，作者想放弃唱诗班是因为在那里她感觉不舒服和尴尬。故选B项。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“As the years went on, I continued to bother my mother. Her answers began to lessen in severity. She said “Just do it for one more year” or “Are you sure?””（随着时间的推移，我继续追问我的母亲。她的回答开始变得没那么严肃。她说“再做一年”或者“你确定吗？”）可知，在作者的反复要求下，作者的母亲不再直接拒接作者，态度开始缓和起来，会用“再做一年”或者“你确定吗？”这样的话来回答作者。由此可知，作者的母亲面对她一再提出的要求没有断然拒绝，只是希望她坚持下去。故选A项。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“Through the choir, I learned that if you continue with something long enough, you will receive some sort of benefit from it and maybe even grow to love it.”（通过唱诗班，我了解到，如果你持续做某件事足够久，你会从中得到某种好处，甚至可能会逐渐爱上它。）可知，通过唱诗班作者明白了，只要坚持，就会有所收获的道理。由此可推断出，作者从她的唱诗班经历中学到了我们应该坚持我们正在做的事情。故选B项。

Encouraging life to bloom(兴旺) in the middle of a desert is no easy task. But one company in the United Arab Emirates has come up with a plan to provide drinking water for the state’s citizens. The company intends to drag icebergs from Antarctica to the gulf coast in order to harvest its freshwater.
The company plans to source the massive blocks of ice from Heard Island, around 600 miles off the coast of mainland Antarctica. It will then transport them around 5,500 miles to Fujarirah, one part of the UAE. One iceberg could provide enough water for one million people over five years, according to the company.
The company’s director says they have already travelled the transportation route and checked the possibility of the scheme, according to reports in Gulf News. Speaking to the site about what he is calling the UAE Iceberg Project, Abdullah Mohammad Sulaiman Al Shehi said, “We have made the technical and financial plan. We will start the project at the beginning of 2018. We want it mainly for the water. It could also be good for tourism and the weather.”
The UAE is one of the driest countries in the world, due to its extremely arid climate, which receives less than four inches of rainfall per year. Despite that, it consumes more water than double the global national average, putting the country at severe risk of droughts over the next 25 years.
An average iceberg contains more than 20 billion gallons of water, according to the company. The iceberg takes a long time to melt as 80 percent of it is underwater, while the white ice above reflects sunlight and deflects(使转向) its heat. Blocks of ice will be placed in giant tanks, before being processed. “This is the purest water in the world.” Mr. Al Shehi added.
38. What can we learn about the UAE project?
A. It will help the UAE harvest freshwater.
B. It will encourage life to boom in Antarctica.
C. It will put the UAE at severe risk of droughts.
D It will completely change the climate in the UAE.
39. Where could the block of ice come from?
A. The Atlantic Ocean. B. Fujariah.
C. The Gulf. D. Heard Island.
40. Which of the following may NOT benefit from the project?
A. The local people. B. Antarctica.
C. The weather. D. Tourism.
41. The author mentions the nature of ice in the last paragraph to show ________.
A. the process of the project B. the possibility of the plan
C. the purpose of the company D. the comments on the scheme
【答案】38. A 39. D 40. B 41. B
【解析】
文章主要介绍了阿联酋一家公司想出的沙漠地区缺水问题的解决办法，即从南极运送冰川去阿联酋，以解决这个国家的缺水问题。
38题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句The company intends to drag icebergs from Antarctica to the gulf coast in order to harvest its freshwater.以及第二段It will then transport them around 5,500 miles to Fujarirah, one part of the UAE. One iceberg could provide enough water for one million people over five years, according to the company.可知，这家公司是计划把南极的冰川运到UAE，帮他们解决缺水问题。故选A。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段The company plans to source the massive blocks of ice from Heard Island, around 600 miles off the coast of mainland Antarctica.可知，冰川是从南极的Heard Island运来的。故选D。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段One iceberg could provide enough water for one million people over five years, according to the company.以及第三段We will start the project at the beginning of 2018. We want it mainly for the water. It could also be good for tourism and the weather.” 可知，这一项目有利于当地人，有利于旅游业和当地的天气。但南极洲未从中受益，故选B。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。首先根据第一段可知该公司提出了冰川取水的计划，第二段提到It will then transport them around 5,500 miles to Fujarirah, one part of the UAE.可知，运输的距离很远。而根据文章最后一段的内容An average iceberg contains more than 20 billion gallons of water, according to the company. The iceberg takes a long time to melt as 80 percent of it is underwater, while the white ice above reflects sunlight and deflects(使转向) its heat. Blocks of ice will be placed in giant tanks, before being processed.可知，这一段主要分析了冰川的含水量大，冰川要花很长时间才会融化，所以冰川经过长途跋涉被运到沙漠地区为那里提供淡水是有可能的。所以B正确。
【名师点睛】
本文第2和3小题考查了细节题。在完成细节题时，要特别注意排除干扰项。如第3小题的B项属于无中生有。文章在第二段One iceberg could provide enough water for one million people over five years, according to the company. 提到这一项目有利于当地人，第三段It could also be good for tourism and the weather.”提到有利于旅游业和当地的天气。但没有提到有利于南极洲。所以B错误。
干扰项的设置方法通常有以下几种方式：
1. 张冠李戴。命题者把文章作者的观点与他人的观点混淆起来，题干问的是作者的观点，选项中出现的却是他人的观点；或者题干问的是他人的观点，却把作者的观点放到选项中去。
2. 偷梁换柱。干扰项用了与原文相似的句型结构和大部分相似的词汇，却在不易引人注意的地方换了几个词汇，造成句意的改变。
3. 无中生有。干扰项往往是生活的基本常识和普遍接受的观点，但在原文中并无相关的信息支持点，这种选项的设置往往与问题的设问毫不相干。
4. 以偏概全。考生在做猜测文章中心思想、给文章添加标题或判断推理题时，往往会犯以偏概全的错误。产生这类错误的原因是考生受思维定势的影响或考虑不周，以局部代替整体。其具体表现为合理关联与不合理关联、准确概括与不准确概括之间的错位。不合理关联就是表层理解与深层理解相混淆。表层理解是对文章中客观事实的感知和记忆，往往是文章直接表述的结论；深层理解则是对文章中的客观事实进行逻辑推理、总结或概括后得出的结论。不准确概括是指不能准确地按题目要求概括或提取文中的表层或深层信息。
D
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend（hurt）many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong , but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. They should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
42. The underlined phrase “sour the pleasure of society” in Para.2 most nearly means_____.
A. have a good taste with social life B. make others unhappy
C. tend to scold others openly D. enjoy the pleasure of life
43. We can conclude from the passage that________.
A. we should pity all such unhappy people
B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C. unhappy people can not understand happy persons
D. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
44. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit , the author suggests that people should ________.
A. prevent any communication with them
B. show no respect and politeness to them
C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes
45. In this passage, the writer mainly________.
A. describes two types of people B. laughs at the unhappy people
C. suggests ways to help unhappy people D. tells people how to be happy in life
【答案】42. B 43. D 44. A 45. C
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。短文对比了快乐的人和不快乐的人的相同之处和不同之处，作者还给了不快乐的人提出了一些建议，让他们如何保持快乐。
【42题详解】
词义猜测题。由第二段“ By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend（hurt）many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere”可知，通过他们的言论，他们破坏了社会群体的乐趣，伤害了许多人，使他们在任何地方都不讨人喜欢。and并列连接了三个表示贬义的动词，所以A和D选项被排除。社会是由人构成的，破坏了社会的乐趣也就是让别人不开心。所以根据上下文的语境，可以判断出第2段中的带下划线的短语“ sour the pleasure of society”最接近于B选项“让别人不开心”。故B选项正确。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段“...but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes”可知，但当那些有这种习惯的人意识到它对他们的兴趣和爱好有不良影响时，这种习惯可能会被改掉。所以通过关键词“ be cured”可以判断出，人们能够改掉这种不快乐的习惯。故D选项正确。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。由最后段“ If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. ”可知，如果他们不这样做，那么其他人最好避免与他们接触。所以如果这些不快乐的人坚持保持这种坏习惯，作者建议人们应该不要和他们交流。故A选项正确。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，短文对比了快乐的人和不快乐的人的相同之处和不同之处，并着重向不快乐的人提出了一些保持快乐的建议，希望他们能够快乐。所以短文主要提出了一些帮助不快乐的人的方法。在故C选项正确。

Rise and shine! Morning time just became your new best friend.

Exercise.
Most people that work out daily, work out in the morning. Exercising before work gives you an increase of energy for the day and a sense of accomplishment .Even if you aren’t bright eyed and bushy tailed at the thought of a 5 am jog, try waking up 15 minutes early for a quick bedside set of pushups or stretching. ___47___
Map Out Your Day.
Maximize your potential by mapping out your schedule for the day, as well as your goals and to dos. The morning is a good time for this as it is often one of the only quiet times a person gets throughout the day. The early hours foster easier reflection that helps when prioritizing (优先) your activities. ___48___
Visualize your day.
___49___ The morning is the perfect time to spend some quiet time inside your mind planning or visualizing. Take a moment to visualize your day ahead of you, focusing on the successes you will have.

___50___
We all have that one item on our to do list that we fear. It troubles you all day (or week) until you finally do it after much procrastination (拖延). Instead of anticipating the unpleasantness of it from first coffee through your lunch break, do that least desirable task on your list first. The morning is the time when you are generally more well rested and your energy level is up. Therefore, you are more well equipped to handle more difficult projects. Look at it this way, and your day will get progressively easier, not the other way around. By the time your work day is ending, you’re winding down with easier to dos and heading into your free time more relaxed. Success!

这是一篇说明文。作者讲述了早上时间的重要性和成功人士在早上8点之前做的4件事。

根据上文“Love it or hate it, using the morning hours before work may be the key to a successful and healthy lifestyle.” 不管你喜欢还是讨厌，在上班前利用早晨的时间可能是成功和健康生活方式的关键。选项承接上文继续说明早起的重要性。故E项“人们发现早起的人更活跃、更有效率。” successful and healthy lifestyle对应be more active and more productive。故选E。
【47题详解】
根据上文“Exercising before work gives you an increase of energy for the day and a sense of accomplishment .” 上班前锻炼可以增加你一天的精力和成就感。所以本段讲早起锻炼的好处，C项“它会唤醒你的身体，为你的一天做好准备”。也是早起锻炼的好处。选C。

【49题详解】
根据“The morning is the perfect time to spend some quiet time inside your mind planning or visualizing.”本段讲想象你的一天，早晨是在你的头脑里计划或想象的最好的时间。提醒我们在重视身体健康的同时注重心理健康，符合本段内容，故G选项“这些天我们无休止地谈论我们的身体健康，但有时我们的心理健康却被忽视了”切题。故选G。
【50题详解】
根据本段中“Instead of anticipating the unpleasantness of it from first coffee through your lunch break, do that least desirable task on your list first. The morning is the time when you are generally more well rested and your energy level is up.”可知，与其从第一次喝咖啡到午休时就预料到不愉快，不如先做清单上最不想做的事情。早晨是你休息得更充分、精力更充沛的时候。所以本段的标题为“先做最难做的事情”。故选B.

【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了学校邀请了一位著名的艺术家来教我们如何画中国传统风格的竹子的事情。
【详解】1.考查动词时态。句意：前几天，我们学校邀请了一位著名的艺术家来教我们如何画中国传统风格的竹子。根据句意和句中“The other day(前几天)”可知，句子讲述的是过去的事情，应用一般过去时，动词要用过去式。故将invite改为invited。
2.考查“特殊疑问词+动词不定式”结构。句意：前几天，我们学校邀请了一位著名的艺术家来教我们如何画中国传统风格的竹子。句中涉及“特殊疑问词+动词不定式”结构，作teach的直接宾语，句中表示教我们“如何”画中国传统风格的竹子，故特殊疑问词应用how意为“如何，怎样”。故将what改为how。
3.考查动词。句意：当艺术家走进教室时，他受到了热烈的欢迎。句中entered意为“进入”，为及物动词，后面直接加地点，表示“进入某地”，故句中into多余。故将into删除。
4.考查冠词。句意：当艺术家走进教室时，他受到了热烈的欢迎。句中welcome意为“欢迎”，为可数名词，句中泛指一个热烈的欢迎，应用不定冠词修饰，warm的音标的第一个音素为辅音音素，故应用不定冠词a修饰。故在warm前加a。
5.考查代词。句意：首先，他向我们展示了许多画竹子的技巧。根据文章内容可知，艺术家是教“我们”画竹子的技巧，showed为动词，后接人称代词宾格，us意为“我们”，为人称代词宾格，符合句意，them意为“他们”，不符合语境。故将them改为us。
6.考查副词。句意：我们把他团团围住，仔细地看着他。句中watched意为“看，注视”，应用副词修饰，在句中作状语。故将careful改为carefully。
7.考查定语从句。句意：终于，在几次失败后，我成功地画了一幅竹子的画，这让我很高兴。根据句意和句子结构可知，句子为非限制性定语从句，关系词代指前面整个句子“after failing several times I succeeded in drawing a picture of bamboo”的内容，在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导。故将that改为which。
8.考查固定短语。句意：在这节课上，中国画的美给我们留下了深刻的印象，我们为自己是中国人而自豪。句中涉及固定短语“sb. be deeply impressed by sth.”意为“某物给某人留下了深刻的印象”，句中指中国画的美给我们留下了深刻的印象。故将impressing改为impressed。
9.考查非谓语动词。句意：在这节课上，中国画的美给我们留下了深刻的印象，我们为自己是中国人而自豪。句中涉及固定短语“be proud of…”意为“对……感到自豪”，of为介词，后接动词ing形式。故将be改为being。
10.考查名词复数。句意：我们希望以后能有更多这样的活动。句中activity意为“活动”，为可数名词，根据句意和句中more可知，句中表示不止一项活动，应用activity的复数形式。故将activity改为activities。

A. which B. it C. what D. that
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句。句意：似乎过了几个小时，他带着苦笑出来了。根据句意和句子结构可知，空格处单词引导从句作介词After的宾语，从句中缺少seemed的主语，指物，且没有选择范围，故应用what引导从句。故选C项。

At the age of 4, I began attending the choir at St. James Church. My mother decided that joining the choir would provide me with musical instruction. I was initially joined by a lot of kids at St. James, making choir a fun, social task, but as I grew older, one by one, my friends began dropping out.
St. James was situated on the Upper East Side, one of the fanciest areas in New York, while I came from the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bushwick. Some children at the choir proudly showed off the signs of their good education whose cost was nearly as much as my mother’s yearly wage, while I wore my uniform of jeans and a Tshirt. They knew me as the girl from Brooklyn, the chorister who went to public school. This discrepancy (差异) made me very uncomfortable.
I begged my mom to let me follow the path of my friends, but she replied with a “NO”. As the years went on, I continued to bother my mother. Her answers began to lessen in severity. She said “Just do it for one more year” or “Are you sure?” Not seeing much hope, I began to withdraw my constant requests. Gradually I enjoyed finding my voice every week in church. After years in the choir, people started to acknowledge me for my voice rather than my address and I began to appreciate music and my habitual complaints (抱怨) about the choir were completely gone.
Through the choir, I learned that if you continue with something long enough, you will receive some sort of benefit from it and maybe even grow to love it. Because of the choir，I found my voice in a small church. Because of the choir, I am willing to go wherever life will take me with an open mind.
34. Why did the author’s mother send her to the choir?
A. She expected to make her sociable. B. She wanted her to learn to sing.
C. She was too busy to take care of her. D. She followed a friend’s suggestions.
35. Why did the author want to give up the choir?
A. She lost interest in singing. B. She felt uneasy and embarrassed.
C. She hoped to get a better education. D. She decided to help support her family.
36. How did the author’s mother react to her repeated requests?
A. She didn’t refuse them flatly. B. She was very angry about them.
C. She agreed to them completely. D. She simply ignored them.
37. What lesson has the author learned from her choir experience?
A. Treasure what we have. B. Stick to what we are doing.
C. Be curious about our daily life. D. Be grateful to people around us.

这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了作者在唱诗班时因为和其他孩子的差异，感觉不舒服和尴尬，想要放弃，在妈妈的鼓励下坚持下来，最终获得收获的故事。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“My mother decided that joining the choir would provide me with musical instruction.”（我母亲断定加入唱诗班将为我提供音乐指导。）可知，作者的母亲想让作者加入唱诗班，因为她认为加入唱诗班将为作者提供音乐指导，由此可知，作者的母亲把她送到唱诗班是因为她想让她学唱歌。故选B项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“St. James was situated on the Upper East Side, one of the fanciest areas in New York, while I came from the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bushwick.”（圣詹姆斯位于上东区，纽约最繁华的地区之一，而我来自布鲁克林的布什维克区。）和They knew me as the girl from Brooklyn, the chorister who went to public school. This discrepancy (差异) made me very uncomfortable.（他们知道我是来自布鲁克林的女孩，一个上公立学校的唱诗班歌手。这种差异让我很不舒服。）可知，作者接触的同学都是来自繁华地区的孩子，而作者只是公立学校的普通学生，这种落差让作者很不舒服，很尴尬，所以她想放弃去唱诗班。由此可推断出，作者想放弃唱诗班是因为在那里她感觉不舒服和尴尬。故选B项。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“As the years went on, I continued to bother my mother. Her answers began to lessen in severity. She said “Just do it for one more year” or “Are you sure?””（随着时间的推移，我继续追问我的母亲。她的回答开始变得没那么严肃。她说“再做一年”或者“你确定吗？”）可知，在作者的反复要求下，作者的母亲不再直接拒接作者，态度开始缓和起来，会用“再做一年”或者“你确定吗？”这样的话来回答作者。由此可知，作者的母亲面对她一再提出的要求没有断然拒绝，只是希望她坚持下去。故选A项。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“Through the choir, I learned that if you continue with something long enough, you will receive some sort of benefit from it and maybe even grow to love it.”（通过唱诗班，我了解到，如果你持续做某件事足够久，你会从中得到某种好处，甚至可能会逐渐爱上它。）可知，通过唱诗班作者明白了，只要坚持，就会有所收获的道理。由此可推断出，作者从她的唱诗班经历中学到了我们应该坚持我们正在做的事情。故选B项。
C
Encouraging life to bloom(兴旺) in the middle of a desert is no easy task. But one company in the United Arab Emirates has come up with a plan to provide drinking water for the state’s citizens. The company intends to drag icebergs from Antarctica to the gulf coast in order to harvest its freshwater.
The company plans to source the massive blocks of ice from Heard Island, around 600 miles off the coast of mainland Antarctica. It will then transport them around 5,500 miles to Fujarirah, one part of the UAE. One iceberg could provide enough water for one million people over five years, according to the company.
The company’s director says they have already travelled the transportation route and checked the possibility of the scheme, according to reports in Gulf News. Speaking to the site about what he is calling the UAE Iceberg Project, Abdullah Mohammad Sulaiman Al Shehi said, “We have made the technical and financial plan. We will start the project at the beginning of 2018. We want it mainly for the water. It could also be good for tourism and the weather.”
The UAE is one of the driest countries in the world, due to its extremely arid climate, which receives less than four inches of rainfall per year. Despite that, it consumes more water than double the global national average, putting the country at severe risk of droughts over the next 25 years.
An average iceberg contains more than 20 billion gallons of water, according to the company. The iceberg takes a long time to melt as 80 percent of it is underwater, while the white ice above reflects sunlight and deflects(使转向) its heat. Blocks of ice will be placed in giant tanks, before being processed. “This is the purest water in the world.” Mr. Al Shehi added.
38. What can we learn about the UAE project?
A. It will help the UAE harvest freshwater.
B. It will encourage life to boom in Antarctica.
C. It will put the UAE at severe risk of droughts.
D It will completely change the climate in the UAE.
39. Where could the block of ice come from?
A. The Atlantic Ocean. B. Fujariah.
C. The Gulf. D. Heard Island.
40. Which of the following may NOT benefit from the project?
A. The local people. B. Antarctica.
C. The weather. D. Tourism.
41. The author mentions the nature of ice in the last paragraph to show ________.
A. the process of the project B. the possibility of the plan
C. the purpose of the company D. the comments on the scheme
【答案】38. A 39. D 40. B 41. B
【解析】
文章主要介绍了阿联酋一家公司想出的沙漠地区缺水问题的解决办法，即从南极运送冰川去阿联酋，以解决这个国家的缺水问题。
38题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句The company intends to drag icebergs from Antarctica to the gulf coast in order to harvest its freshwater.以及第二段It will then transport them around 5,500 miles to Fujarirah, one part of the UAE. One iceberg could provide enough water for one million people over five years, according to the company.可知，这家公司是计划把南极的冰川运到UAE，帮他们解决缺水问题。故选A。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段The company plans to source the massive blocks of ice from Heard Island, around 600 miles off the coast of mainland Antarctica.可知，冰川是从南极的Heard Island运来的。故选D。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段One iceberg could provide enough water for one million people over five years, according to the company.以及第三段We will start the project at the beginning of 2018. We want it mainly for the water. It could also be good for tourism and the weather.” 可知，这一项目有利于当地人，有利于旅游业和当地的天气。但南极洲未从中受益，故选B。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。首先根据第一段可知该公司提出了冰川取水的计划，第二段提到It will then transport them around 5,500 miles to Fujarirah, one part of the UAE.可知，运输的距离很远。而根据文章最后一段的内容An average iceberg contains more than 20 billion gallons of water, according to the company. The iceberg takes a long time to melt as 80 percent of it is underwater, while the white ice above reflects sunlight and deflects(使转向) its heat. Blocks of ice will be placed in giant tanks, before being processed.可知，这一段主要分析了冰川的含水量大，冰川要花很长时间才会融化，所以冰川经过长途跋涉被运到沙漠地区为那里提供淡水是有可能的。所以B正确。
【名师点睛】
本文第2和3小题考查了细节题。在完成细节题时，要特别注意排除干扰项。如第3小题的B项属于无中生有。文章在第二段One iceberg could provide enough water for one million people over five years, according to the company. 提到这一项目有利于当地人，第三段It could also be good for tourism and the weather.”提到有利于旅游业和当地的天气。但没有提到有利于南极洲。所以B错误。
干扰项的设置方法通常有以下几种方式：
1. 张冠李戴。命题者把文章作者的观点与他人的观点混淆起来，题干问的是作者的观点，选项中出现的却是他人的观点；或者题干问的是他人的观点，却把作者的观点放到选项中去。
2. 偷梁换柱。干扰项用了与原文相似的句型结构和大部分相似的词汇，却在不易引人注意的地方换了几个词汇，造成句意的改变。
3. 无中生有。干扰项往往是生活的基本常识和普遍接受的观点，但在原文中并无相关的信息支持点，这种选项的设置往往与问题的设问毫不相干。
4. 以偏概全。考生在做猜测文章中心思想、给文章添加标题或判断推理题时，往往会犯以偏概全的错误。产生这类错误的原因是考生受思维定势的影响或考虑不周，以局部代替整体。其具体表现为合理关联与不合理关联、准确概括与不准确概括之间的错位。不合理关联就是表层理解与深层理解相混淆。表层理解是对文章中客观事实的感知和记忆，往往是文章直接表述的结论；深层理解则是对文章中的客观事实进行逻辑推理、总结或概括后得出的结论。不准确概括是指不能准确地按题目要求概括或提取文中的表层或深层信息。
D
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend（hurt）many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong , but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. They should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
42. The underlined phrase “sour the pleasure of society” in Para.2 most nearly means_____.
A. have a good taste with social life B. make others unhappy
C. tend to scold others openly D. enjoy the pleasure of life
43. We can conclude from the passage that________.
A. we should pity all such unhappy people
B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C. unhappy people can not understand happy persons
D. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
44. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit , the author suggests that people should ________.
A. prevent any communication with them
B. show no respect and politeness to them
C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes
45. In this passage, the writer mainly________.
A. describes two types of people B. laughs at the unhappy people
C. suggests ways to help unhappy people D. tells people how to be happy in life
【答案】42. B 43. D 44. A 45. C
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。短文对比了快乐的人和不快乐的人的相同之处和不同之处，作者还给了不快乐的人提出了一些建议，让他们如何保持快乐。
【42题详解】
词义猜测题。由第二段“ By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend（hurt）many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere”可知，通过他们的言论，他们破坏了社会群体的乐趣，伤害了许多人，使他们在任何地方都不讨人喜欢。and并列连接了三个表示贬义的动词，所以A和D选项被排除。社会是由人构成的，破坏了社会的乐趣也就是让别人不开心。所以根据上下文的语境，可以判断出第2段中的带下划线的短语“ sour the pleasure of society”最接近于B选项“让别人不开心”。故B选项正确。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段“...but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes”可知，但当那些有这种习惯的人意识到它对他们的兴趣和爱好有不良影响时，这种习惯可能会被改掉。所以通过关键词“ be cured”可以判断出，人们能够改掉这种不快乐的习惯。故D选项正确。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。由最后段“ If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. ”可知，如果他们不这样做，那么其他人最好避免与他们接触。所以如果这些不快乐的人坚持保持这种坏习惯，作者建议人们应该不要和他们交流。故A选项正确。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，短文对比了快乐的人和不快乐的人的相同之处和不同之处，并着重向不快乐的人提出了一些保持快乐的建议，希望他们能够快乐。所以短文主要提出了一些帮助不快乐的人的方法。在故C选项正确。

Rise and shine! Morning time just became your new best friend. Love it or hate it, using the morning hours before work may be the key to a successful and healthy lifestyle. ___46___ In addition, the health benefits for those with a life before work go on and on. Let us explore 4 of the things successful people do before 8 am.
Exercise.
Most people that work out daily, work out in the morning. Exercising before work gives you an increase of energy for the day and a sense of accomplishment .Even if you aren’t bright eyed and bushy tailed at the thought of a 5 am jog, try waking up 15 minutes early for a quick bedside set of pushups or stretching. ___47___
Map Out Your Day.
Maximize your potential by mapping out your schedule for the day, as well as your goals and to dos. The morning is a good time for this as it is often one of the only quiet times a person gets throughout the day. The early hours foster easier reflection that helps when prioritizing (优先) your activities. ___48___
Visualize your day.
___49___ The morning is the perfect time to spend some quiet time inside your mind planning or visualizing. Take a moment to visualize your day ahead of you, focusing on the successes you will have. Even just a minute of visualization and positive thinking can help improve your mood and outlook on your work load for the day.
___50___
We all have that one item on our to do list that we fear. It troubles you all day (or week) until you finally do it after much procrastination (拖延). Instead of anticipating the unpleasantness of it from first coffee through your lunch break, do that least desirable task on your list first. The morning is the time when you are generally more well rested and your energy level is up. Therefore, you are more well equipped to handle more difficult projects. Look at it this way, and your day will get progressively easier, not the other way around. By the time your work day is ending, you’re winding down with easier to dos and heading into your free time more relaxed. Success!

B. Make Your Day Top Heavy.

这是一篇说明文。作者讲述了早上时间的重要性和成功人士在早上8点之前做的4件事。

根据上文“Love it or hate it, using the morning hours before work may be the key to a successful and healthy lifestyle.” 不管你喜欢还是讨厌，在上班前利用早晨的时间可能是成功和健康生活方式的关键。选项承接上文继续说明早起的重要性。故E项“人们发现早起的人更活跃、更有效率。” successful and healthy lifestyle对应be more active and more productive。故选E。
【47题详解】
根据上文“Exercising before work gives you an increase of energy for the day and a sense of accomplishment .” 上班前锻炼可以增加你一天的精力和成就感。所以本段讲早起锻炼的好处，C项“它会唤醒你的身体，为你的一天做好准备”。也是早起锻炼的好处。选C。

【50题详解】
根据本段中“Instead of anticipating the unpleasantness of it from first coffee through your lunch break, do that least desirable task on your list first. The morning is the time when you are generally more well rested and your energy level is up.”可知，与其从第一次喝咖啡到午休时就预料到不愉快，不如先做清单上最不想做的事情。早晨是你休息得更充分、精力更充沛的时候。所以本段的标题为“先做最难做的事情”。故选B.

【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了学校邀请了一位著名的艺术家来教我们如何画中国传统风格的竹子的事情。
【详解】1.考查动词时态。句意：前几天，我们学校邀请了一位著名的艺术家来教我们如何画中国传统风格的竹子。根据句意和句中“The other day(前几天)”可知，句子讲述的是过去的事情，应用一般过去时，动词要用过去式。故将invite改为invited。
2.考查“特殊疑问词+动词不定式”结构。句意：前几天，我们学校邀请了一位著名的艺术家来教我们如何画中国传统风格的竹子。句中涉及“特殊疑问词+动词不定式”结构，作teach的直接宾语，句中表示教我们“如何”画中国传统风格的竹子，故特殊疑问词应用how意为“如何，怎样”。故将what改为how。
3.考查动词。句意：当艺术家走进教室时，他受到了热烈的欢迎。句中entered意为“进入”，为及物动词，后面直接加地点，表示“进入某地”，故句中into多余。故将into删除。
4.考查冠词。句意：当艺术家走进教室时，他受到了热烈的欢迎。句中welcome意为“欢迎”，为可数名词，句中泛指一个热烈的欢迎，应用不定冠词修饰，warm的音标的第一个音素为辅音音素，故应用不定冠词a修饰。故在warm前加a。
5.考查代词。句意：首先，他向我们展示了许多画竹子的技巧。根据文章内容可知，艺术家是教“我们”画竹子的技巧，showed为动词，后接人称代词宾格，us意为“我们”，为人称代词宾格，符合句意，them意为“他们”，不符合语境。故将them改为us。
6.考查副词。句意：我们把他团团围住，仔细地看着他。句中watched意为“看，注视”，应用副词修饰，在句中作状语。故将careful改为carefully。
7.考查定语从句。句意：终于，在几次失败后，我成功地画了一幅竹子的画，这让我很高兴。根据句意和句子结构可知，句子为非限制性定语从句，关系词代指前面整个句子“after failing several times I succeeded in drawing a picture of bamboo”的内容，在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导。故将that改为which。
8.考查固定短语。句意：在这节课上，中国画的美给我们留下了深刻的印象，我们为自己是中国人而自豪。句中涉及固定短语“sb. be deeply impressed by sth.”意为“某物给某人留下了深刻的印象”，句中指中国画的美给我们留下了深刻的印象。故将impressing改为impressed。
9.考查非谓语动词。句意：在这节课上，中国画的美给我们留下了深刻的印象，我们为自己是中国人而自豪。句中涉及固定短语“be proud of…”意为“对……感到自豪”，of为介词，后接动词ing形式。故将be改为being。
10.考查名词复数。句意：我们希望以后能有更多这样的活动。句中activity意为“活动”，为可数名词，根据句意和句中more可知，句中表示不止一项活动，应用activity的复数形式。故将activity改为activities。
