Ⅰ. 阅读理解

When I was a little girl, my father had a unique way to put me into bed. Following my bedtime story, he would give me a nose kiss, rub my stomach and whisper the most wonderful words into my ear. “Michelle, of all the little girls in the whole wide world, ” he paused.

　　“Yes, Daddy? ”

　　“How did your mommy and I get so lucky to get the best one? ”

　　Before he had time to finish, I would say, “You got me! ” And then he would continue, “The best little girl in the whole wide world, and we got you. ”

　　“You got me! ” I would scream and clap.

　　“Yes, you, Michelle, and we’re so lucky. ” He would end with a bear hug and another kiss to my forehead.

　　Years passed and my father never missed a night, even when I thought he should have. After my basketball team was defeated, he came into my room.

　　“Michelle, of all the basketball players in the whole wide world, ” he paused.

　　“Yes, Daddy? ” I stared at the floor.

　　“How did your mom and I get so lucky to get the best one? ”

　　“You didn’t. ”

　　“Of course we did, Michelle. We have you. ”

　　“But, Dad. . . ”

　　“Yes, you, Michelle, and we’re so lucky, ” he cheered, as he gave me a high five followed by a bear hug and a kiss to my forehead.

　　I thought becoming a teenager would end the ritual, but it didn’t.

　　“Michelle, of all the teenagers in the whole wide world. . . ” he would pause.

　　“Dad, I’m too old for this, ” I would sigh.

　　“How did your mother and I get so lucky to get the best one? ”

　　“ Come on, Dad, ” I grunted (咕哝着说).

　　“We have you, Michelle, and we’re so lucky. ” Then the embarrassing hug and kiss.

　　Following college, I became engaged. My father never missed a night to call or leave a message reminding me how special I was to him. I even wondered if he would continue calling after I got married, but he didn’t. The daily calls I had taken for granted all my life ended the day he died from cancer, only weeks before my wedding.

　　I deeply missed sharing the day with my father.

　　Standing behind the white church doors with my arm in my brother’s, my brother reached inside his pocket and handed me a white napkin decorated with pink ribbon. Written on it were the words:

　　Of all the precious wives in the whole wide world, how did Mark get so lucky to marry the best one?  He married you, Michelle, and he is so lucky!  I am so proud of you, my little girl.

Love,

Dad

　　Without a doubt, it was the best wedding gift I received. One I would never forget. My father showered me with his gifts every day of his life. How did I get so lucky?

【文章大意】本文是记叙文, 讲述父亲对女儿深厚的爱和女儿对他的缅怀。

1. Which one can best describe the author’s life as a little girl?

A. She could tell good bedtime stories.

B. She lived a happy life in her family.

C. Her brother usually kept her company.

D. Her mummy always patted her into bed.

【解析】选B。推理判断题。从她父亲对待她的方式及下文她父亲反复对她所说话的内容可知作者童年生活很幸福。

2. How did Michelle feel as she gradually grew up and went to school?

A. She didn’t want her father to say those childish words.

B. She got tired of her father’s daily calls.

C. She left home, not wanting to hear from her father any more.

D. She always missed the sharing days with her father.

【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据“Dad, I’m too old for this, ”和 “ Come on, Dad, ”可知, 作者觉得父亲的话有些幼稚不合时宜, 她已经长大了, 不愿意再听这些。

3. Which of the following statements agrees with the author? 

A. If her father hadn’t died, she would not marry so quickly.

B. She was the best child of her siblings, so her parents loved her most.

C. Never did she think her father would fail to attend her wedding.

D. She was really the lucky one to get a husband one in a million.

【解析】选C。细节理解题。从文章I even wondered if he would continue calling after I got married, but he didn’t. The daily calls I had taken for granted all my life ended the day he died from cancer, only weeks before my wedding. 我甚至疑惑他是否会在我婚后继续打电话(说这些), 但他没有。那些我曾经想当然认为一辈子都会如此的日常电话, 在他因癌症死亡的那天终止了, 就在我婚礼前的几周时间。从定语从句I had taken for granted all my life 可知, 作者压根没想到父亲会在她婚礼前死亡, 所以也不会想到父亲会缺席她的婚礼。 

4. Where does the author think the best wedding gift come from?

A. It was made up by her brother.

B. It was prepared by her dear mother.

C. It was prepared by her father before his death.

D. It was written by her husband Mark.

【解析】选C。推理判断题。从最后一段handed me a white napkin 可知, 这些话是写在餐巾纸上, 应该是父亲病中所书, 因当时条件所限只好因陋就简; 而且这些熟悉的话、这种熟悉的语气一下子就让她感受到了父亲的存在, 父亲虽然去世却以这种方式出席了她的婚礼, 弥补了她心中的缺憾。

【误区警示】A项不对, 因为她哥哥只是从口袋里掏出礼物递给她, 并没有说是他所写。B、D文中未提及。

阅读理解

Your next car could have two seats,  three wheels—two in front and one in the back and a top speed of more than 100 miles per hour.  Elio Motors plans to make such a tiny car named the Elio.  Its two seats sit front and back instead of side by side.  The driver is positioned in the center with the passenger directly behind.

The starting price for the car is just $6, 800. It has only one door,  on the left side,  which cuts a few hundred dollars off the manufacturing costs.  Having three wheels also makes it cheaper.  It has air conditioning,  power windows and door locks and an AM/FM radio.  More features can be ordered through Elio’s long list of suppliers.  Elio will also sell the cars directly through its own stores and not through franchised dealers (特约经销商).

Paul Elio dreamed as a kid that he would one day own a car company called Elio Motors.  In 2008,  tired of high gas prices,  he started working on a car that burns gas in a more effective way.  Equally important to him was creating US manufacturing jobs and making the car inexpensive enough to attract buyers who might otherwise be stuck in their old,  unreliable cars.  “Whatever matters to you,  this can move the needle on it, ” he said.

Already,  more than 27, 000 people have reserved one.  Paul hopes to make 250, 000 cars a year by 2020. So far,  reservation holders are those who will use the Elio as a second or third car for work.  Paul Elio believes the car will interest college students as well as used-car drivers who want something newer and more reliable,  though.

【文章大意】本文为说明文。本文主要介绍了一款有三个轮子和两个座椅的机动车。

1. Which of the following shows the design of the Elio?  (○= wheel,  □= seat)

【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第一段第一句中的two seats,  three wheels—two in front and one in the back 和 Its two seats sit front and back可知, 这辆车有两个座位, 三个轮子——前面两个, 后面一个; 两个座位一前一后。故选C。

2. Paragraph 2 shows that the Elio _______.  

A. will be available in most stores

B. does no harm to the environment

C. has a fixed temperature

D. is sold at affordable prices

【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第二段的The starting price for the car is just $6, 800以及第三段中的“making the car inexpensive enough to attract buyers who might otherwise be stuck in their old,  unreliable cars. ”可知, Elio是一款便宜的小汽车, 故选D。

3. Who will probably buy this kind of cars?

A. People who want to take part in car races.

B. Students who study in colleges.

C. Families who are rich and yet don’t have a car.

D. High school students who want to practice driving.

【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据第二段中的“the car is just $6, 800”以及第三段中的“making the car inexpensive enough to attract buyers who might otherwise be stuck in their old,  unreliable cars. ”以及最后一段最后一句中的“the car will interest college students”可知, “使制造的汽车足够便宜以吸引那些可能会因自己旧的车不听使唤了而犯愁的汽车买家”“这种车还会吸引大学生”。故选B。

4. What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To describe the history of Elio Motors.

B. To introduce an inexpensive and reliable type of car.

C. To introduce a great car-maker.

D. To advise buyers on how to buy cars.

【解析】选B。写作意图题。本文第一段介绍了一款有三个轮子和两个座位的机动车。从第二段一直到最后叙述此款车价格不贵, 低廉的价格足以吸引那些觉得手中的车不可靠的买主来买这款可靠而价廉的车。故选B。

【知识拓展】长难句分析

Paul Elio believes the car will interest college students as well as used-car drivers who want something newer and more reliable,  though.

分析: 本句为复合句。Paul Elio believes为主句, 其后为believes的宾语从句。宾语从句中as well as连接college students和 used-car drivers, 作interest的宾语, who引导的定语从句修饰used-car drivers; though是副词, 在句中独立作状语。

翻译: 尽管如此, Paul Elio相信这款车会让大学生以及想要更新、更可靠的东西的二手车主们感兴趣的。

【文章大意】本文为说明文。本文主要介绍了世界上最长的跨海大桥香港-珠海-澳门大桥。

1. 【解析】 longest。考查形容词最高级。根据前面的“the world’s”可知, 此处要用形容词最高级。2018年10月24日上午9时, 世界上最长的跨海大桥——港珠澳大桥正式通车。故填longest。

2. 【解析】its。考查代词。分析句子可知, 句子的主语是“港珠澳大桥”的通车, 需用形容词性物主代词修饰动名词opening。故填its。

3. 【解析】held。考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知, 本空在句中作定语, 修饰ceremony, 它与动词hold 之间是逻辑上的被动关系, 且动作已发生了。故填held。

9. 【解析】has been。 考查时态。根据“since 9 am on Tuesday”可知, 本句要用现在完成时, 而主语是动名词, 所以谓语动词要用单数。故填has been。

10. 【解析】be shortened。考查被动语态。句意: 珠海至香港国际机场的往返时间将从4小时(被)缩短到45分钟。分析句子可知, 主语(the travelling time)与谓语动词(shorten)之间是被动关系, 因此要用被动语态, 又因在助动词will后面, 故填be shortened。

Ⅳ. 读后续写

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

The end of my sophomore year was approaching. Mom called me at the dorm one evening during the last week of May. My summer break would be spent with grandma and grandpa, helping out around their farm. The arrangement made good sense to all the family.

I arrived late that afternoon, deciding I was there to help, not be a burden.

Weeks passed. I gradually settled into a routine of daily work with grandpa and shared stories with grandma.

The last Saturday in June, grandpa suggested going fishing. We hadn’t expected what we saw when we got to the pond that morning: One of the swans was dead. Grandpa had given the pair of swans to grandma on their 50th anniversary. “Why don’t we see about buying another one, ” I suggested, hoping the situation could somehow be righted. Grandpa thought for a few moments before answering.

He finally said, “No. . . it’s not that easy, Bruce. You see, swans mate for life. ” He raised his finger to point, holding the fishing pole in his other hand. “There’s nothing we can do for the swan that’s left. He has to work it out for himself. ”

A few days later, we drove by the pond while doing our morning check on the cows. We found the other swan lying near the same spot we had found the first one. It was dead too.

 Then July 12 came. That was the day grandma passed away. Grandma had died suddenly that morning of a stroke. By the afternoon, my parents were there. The old house was soon crowded with relatives and grandma’s friends.

 The funeral was held the next day. Grandpa had insisted on having it as soon as possible. On the second day after the funeral, grandpa urged that the rest of the relatives should get back to their own lives. This was grandpa’s way of telling them to go home. Grandpa was not a man who could outwardly express his grief around others, and we were all worried about him.

The rest of the summer flowed by. We stayed busy working.

　　注意: 续写部分分为两段, 每段的开头语已为你写好。

【参考范文】

September was nearing, and I did not want to leave. I thought of skipping the fall semester and staying around a few more months. When I mentioned it,  grandpa quickly told me that my place was back at college. The day finally came for me to pack my car and leave. I shook his hand and chanced a hug. As I drove down the driveway, I saw him in the rear view mirror. He waved to me and then walked to the pasture gate to start the morning live stock check.

Mom called me at school on a stormy October day to tell me grandpa had died. A neighbor had stopped by that morning for coffee and found him in the kitchen. He died of a stroke, the same as grandma. At that moment, I understood what he’d clumsily tried to explain to me about the swan that morning we fished together by the pond.
