I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books. There was not one night that I don’t remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the wonderful way the words sounded.
I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning,” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading.
This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,” I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.
Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A’s on my tests. Sometimes, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading. I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.
Now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax.
We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is an important part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless.
4. Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom’s hands？
A. She wanted mom to read the news to her.
B. She couldn’t wait to tear the newspaper apart.
C. She couldn’t help but stop mom from reading.
D. She was eager to know what had happened.
5. According to Paragraph 3, the author’s reading of road signs shows___________.
A. her own way to find herself
B. her eagerness to develop her reading ability
C. her growing desire to know the world around her
D. her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rules
6. The author takes novel reading as a way to___________.
A. explore a mysterious land
B. develop an interest in learning
C. get away from a confusing world
D. learn about the adult world
7. What could be the best title for the passage？
A. The Pleasure of Reading B. Growing Up with Reading
C. The Magic of Reading D. Reading Makes a Full Man
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要介绍了作者在阅读中成长的故事，从小时候通过阅读了解世界和长大后通过阅读远离现实的成长历程。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew．（我想像我妈妈一样，知道她知道的所有事情。）可知作者想从妈妈手里夺过报纸，因为她很想知道发生了什么事。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.（我在阅读方面的进步引起了我的好奇心，我想知道一切。我经常告诉我妈妈开慢点，这样我就能看清我们经过的所有路标。）可见作者对路标的解读表明她越来越渴望了解周围的世界。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中I find myself needing a way to escape． By opening a novel， I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character．（我发现自己需要一种逃避的方式，打开一本小说，我可以放下负担，进入一个奇妙而神秘的世界，在那里我现在是一个新角色。）可知作者把阅读小说作为一种摆脱纷乱世界的方法。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。结合文章第一段I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books. There was not one night that I don’t remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the wonderful way the words sounded.（我一直都知道读书是很重要的，因为我小时候的第一段记忆就是读书。没有一个晚上我不记得妈妈在我床边给我读故事书。我被那些美妙的声音所鼓舞。）以及文章主要介绍了作者在阅读中成长的故事，从小时候通过阅读了解世界和长大后通过阅读远离现实的成长历程。故选B。
C
A new concept vehicle, Pod was introduced by Toyota and Sony at the Tokyo motor show. The car is intended as a four-wheeled friend. It aims to provide affection, sympathy and encouragement. Like a dog welcoming its master, the car sits up, wags its tail and recognizes its owner’s presence using hydraulics (液压装置) and a multi-coloured LED display panel (引擎) across the front.
While on the road, the car constantly monitors the driver’s mood with pulse and sweat (汗) sensors on the joystick (操纵杆). Cameras fixed on the eyes keep watch for any sigh of drowsiness. If a driver appears to be losing his or her cool, Pod will display warnings, play soft music and blow cold air at the face. Drivers are shaken awake with loud music and a shaking chair.
To improve driving skills, Pod uses a comparison to score drivers, offer advice and rank all Pod owners. Toyota states that the car will eventually be able to learn its owner’s likes and dislikes by monitoring passenger conversations. If the car hears a favorite song being discussed, it will download the track from the Internet and play it without being asked. It will also recommend (推荐) restaurants that might suit the driver’s taste and take photographs of passengers when they sound particularly happy.
In keeping with the moodiness that is the car’s main selling point, Pod expresses a form of road anger. If a driver brakes or swerves (急转弯) suddenly, the LED panel shows an angry red and the tail rises at the back.
Anger is one of the car’s ten “emotional states”. Another is sadness—a blue front with tear-shaped lights seemingly dropping from headlights—which appears after a flat tyre or when gas is low.
“We wanted to show that the cars can be cheerful and entertaining,” said Yasunori Sakamoto, part of the Toyota design team. Mr Sakamoto said Toyota has no plans to put Pod on the market. Sad, really.
8. The underlined word “drowsiness” in Paragraph 2 means _________.
A. fear B. boredom
C. excitement D. sleepiness
9. According to the text, Pod can ________.
A. rank the restaurant nearby B. recommend a song to passenger
C. have a conversation with drivers D. test the driver’s driving skills
10. If the new concept vehicle is running out of gas, _________.
A. the LED panel turns red
B. the tail rises at the back of the car
C. the front lights turn blue and look like tears
D. the car stops and shake with loud music
11. What is the author’s attitude towards Pod?
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful.
C. Negative. D. Curious.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种能够帮助司机驾驶的新型汽车并详细介绍了这种汽车的特点和用途。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线单词后面的句子“If a driver appears to be losing his or her cool, Pod will display warnings, play soft music and blow cold air at the face. Drivers are shaken awake with loud music and a shaking chair.(如果司机似乎正在失去冷静，Pod将显示警告，播放柔和的音乐，并向面部吹冷空气。响亮的音乐和摇动的椅子使司机们惊醒)”可知，Pod 一直关注司机的睡意，如果看到司机有了睡意，它就会采取一系列措施使司机清醒过来。所以drowsiness的意思为“睡意”。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“To improve driving skills, Pod uses a comparison to score drivers, offer advice and rank all Pod owners. (为了提高驾驶技能，Pod使用比较为驾驶员打分，提供建议并对所有Pod所有者进行排名。)”可知，这种汽车可以测试司机的驾驶技能。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句话“Another is sadness—a blue front with tear-shaped lights seemingly dropping from headlights—which appears after a flat tyre or when gas is low.(另一个是悲伤——一个蓝色的车头，泪珠状的灯似乎从车头灯上掉下来，车头灯是在轮胎瘪了或汽油不足时出现的)”可知，当汽油含量低的时候，前灯变成蓝色，看起来像眼泪。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章可知，这种新出现的汽车可以表现出很多的情绪。文章最后两句话“Mr Sakamoto said Toyota has no plans to put Pod on the market. Sad, really.( 坂本表示，丰田没有将Pod投放市场的计划。真的很难过)”可知，作者引用坂本的话，想表达的是对Toyota还没有计划把这种汽车投入市场感到难过。由此可知，作者对这种汽车是持积极的态度。故选A。
D
The Canadian government announced a plan to ban single-use plastics as early as 2022. As someone who performs research on plastic pollution, I see this as a positive step forward. However, I wonder whether it will go far enough.
Some people may feel that this announcement is simply a “feel-good measure” and a distraction from bigger problems such as the climate disaster. The truth of the matter is that plastic pollution and the climate disaster are signs of the same disease. As much as 8% of global oil goes directly to plastic production—a figure that doesn’t include the transportation of single-use plastics to global markets, the energy used to transport plastics to landfills and the energy used to sort or recycle things.
In the past years, some bans have actually resulted in an increase in other forms of waste. For example, paper bags may be seen as a sustainable (可持续的) choice since, unlike plastics, paper breaks down in the environment. However, a paper bag has a carbon footprint three times that of a plastic bag and is still “single-use” just as much as a plastic bag is.
Adopting (采用) a science-based method, which the government has promised, will ensure the ways of using single-use plastics are more sustainable. I’m, however, concerned about the announcement because “as early as 2022” is very different from “by 2022”, which has a strict timeline. If we’re truly going to carry out an effective ban on single-use plastics, our government will need to spend a large amount of money on innovation (改革) and research into sustainable materials and our waste treatment system to prevent plastics from going into our oceans or landfills.
So the question remains: is this announcement simply smoke and mirrors, to hide a lack of determined action on both plastic waste and the climate disaster, or is this a real effort that will be carried out to stop the production of single-use plastics? We will have to wait and see.
12. How does the author feel about Canada’s new plan?
A. She is more excited than worried. B. She never believes in Canada.
C. She considers it a great success. D. She has mixed feelings about it.
13. The purpose of Paragraph 3 is to_________.
A. stress paper bags are sustainable materials
B. explain paper bags are greener than plastics
C. prove some measures are unsatisfactory
D. show paper bags are no different from plastics
14. Which aspect of the announcement makes the author concerned?
A. Its coming a little too late. B. Its lacking scientific support.
C. Its having no strict timeline. D. Its appearing far from practical.
15. What is mainly talked about in the text?
A. Canada’s efforts to reduce the use of plastics.
B. The author’s views on Canada’s single-use plastic ban.
C. Reasons for the author’s criticism of Canada’s new plan.
D. Similarities between plastic pollution and the climate disaster.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。加拿大政府宣布最早于 2022年禁止使用一次性塑料制品计划，作者对此发表了自己的看法。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中的“As someone who performs research on plastic pollution, I see this as a positive step forward. However, I wonder whether it will go far enough. (作为一个从事塑料污染研究的人，我认为这是向前迈出的积极一步。然而，我不知道这是否足够)”可知，作者认为加拿大的新计划有积极意义，但又不知道这个计划是否能够得到切实、深入的落实，可得出作者对加拿大的新计划喜忧参半，情感复杂。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段中的“In the past years, some bans have actually resulted in an increase in other forms of waste. For example, paper bags may be seen as a sustainable (可持续的) choice since, unlike plastics, paper breaks down in the environment. However, a paper bag has a carbon footprint three times that of a plastic bag and is still “single-use” just as much as a plastic bag is. (在过去几年中，一些禁令实际上导致了其他形式废物的增加。例如，纸袋可能被视为一种可持续的选择，因为与塑料不同，纸张在环境中会分解。然而，纸袋的碳足迹是塑料袋的三倍，并且与塑料袋一样“一次性使用”)”可知，用纸袋代替塑料袋的做法并没有达到预期的效果，反而导致了纸袋浪费；由此可知，第三段作者借用纸袋意在证明有些方法是不令人满意的。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“I’m, however, concerned about the announcement because “as early as 2022” is very different from “by 2022”, which has a strict timeline. (然而，我对这一宣布感到担忧，因为“最早2022年”与“到2022年”非常不同，后者有一个严格的时间表)”可知，政府的声明没有严格的时间线，这是让作者感到担忧的地方。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读本文可知，作者在首段提到加拿大政府宣布最早于2022年禁止使用一次性塑料制品的计划，下文各段重点论述了自己对此的观点，B项“作者对加拿大一次性使用塑料禁令的看法”最能概括本文的大意。故选B项。

【答案】surrounded
【解析】
【详解】考查过去分词。句意：在回家的路上，我们看到一个四周环山的安静公园。本句已有谓语saw且无连词，动词surround (围绕)用非谓语形式，逻辑主语a quiet park与动词surround是动宾关系，surround用过去分词表被动。故填surrounded。

【答案】51 greater
52. achievement
53. is 54. on
55. as 56. studies
57. regularly
58. a 59. to bring
60. make
【解析】
【分析】本文属于说明文，告诉我们当工作压力太大的时候，应该怎么做来合理释放压力。
【51题详解】
考查比较级。本空所填之词和and后的比较级less是并列关系，使用相同的比较级形式greater。故填greater。
【52题详解】
考查名词。句意：首先处理重要的事情，那么你会有成就感。横线前面有介词of，横线上要使用名词achievement作of的宾语，表示“成就感”。故填achievement。
【53题详解】
考查句子结构和主谓一致。本句中动名词短语“Leaving... tomorrow”在句中作主语，谓语动词使用单数形式，所以使用is。
【54题详解】
on 考查固定搭配。句意：很多人早晨对任务的注意力要比晚些时候的注意力更集中。be focused on“集中于……”，故填on。
【55题详解】
考查固定搭配。正是因为人们早晨的注意力更为集中，所以我们要早起，要在午饭之前尽可能地高效。短语as...as possible“尽可能……”，故填as。
【56题详解】
考查名词单复数。本句的谓语动词是show，说明主语是复数名词studies。故填studies。
【57题详解】
考查副词。副词通常作状语修饰形容词、副词或动词，形容词通常在句中作定语或表语修饰名词。所以本句中使用副词regularly作状语修饰动词短语take short breaks。故填regularly。
【58题详解】
考查固定短语。本句是指通过锻炼或做一些你喜欢的事情，让你的身体和思维休息一会。介词短语for a while“一会儿”。故填a。
【59题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：如果你找到了喜欢做的事情，你就不太可能把工作带回家去做。be likely to do sth.可能做某事，故填to bring。
【60题详解】
考查祈使句。此处表示要保证它是让你释放压力，而不是让你担忧的事。本句是祈使句，要用动词原形。故填make。
【点睛】在语法填空中，我们要特别注意词性转换题。如本文的2小题，横线前面有介词of，横线上要使用名词achievement作of的宾语。如7小题，英语副词通常作状语修饰形容词、副词或动词，形容词通常在句中作定语或表语修饰名词。所以本句中使用副词regularly作状语修饰动词take short breaks。
词类转换题要先确定所要填的单词在句中的成分。
技巧1：作表语、定语或补语，通常用形容词形式。
技巧2：作主语，或在及物动词或介词后作宾语，用名词形式。
技巧3：修饰动词、形容词、副词，或整个句子，作状语，用副词形式。
技巧4：括号中所给词为动词时，也不一定是考查动词的时态语态或非谓语动词， 有可能考查词类转换；若是形容词或副词，有可能考查其比较级或最高级。
技巧5：词义转换题。词类不一定要变，主要是考查具有与词根意义相反的派生词，需根据句子意思及前后逻辑关系，在词根前加un-, im-，il-, ir-，in-, non-, dis-等，在词根后加-less等。

第二部分： 写作（共两节; 满分30分）
第一节：单句改错（每小题1分, 满分10分）
请修改以下句子，每句只有一处语言错误。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号（/\），并在其下面写出该加的词。
删除：把多余的词用斜线（\）划掉。
修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。
61. That impressed me most was their teamwork spirit.
62. The government has taken measure to protect the environment recently.
63. I caught a sight of an old woman with a walking stick lying on the ground.
64. The boy, rather than his parents, have been to the Great Wall.
65. I heard the good news a shelter will be set up to save poor animals.
66. What you said have nothing to do with the matter we are discussing.
67. I intend to go abroad after graduation although I didn’t get my parents’ support at that time.
68. The most terrified thing about the trip was that he was bitten by a snake.
69. He is more hard-working than any other students in this class.
70. The fact whether women can work as well as men is clear.
【答案】61. That→What
62. measure→measures
63. 删除a 64. have →has
65. news后加that
66. have→has
67. intend →intended
68. terrified→terrifying
69. students→student
70. whether→that
【解析】
【61题详解】
考查主语从句。句意：给我印象最深的是他们的团队精神。分析句子结构可知，“That impressed me most ”为主语从句，主语从句中缺少主语，表示“令我印象最深的事情”，所以用关系代词what引导t。故将That改为What。
【62题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：政府最近采取了保护环境的措施。take measures to do sth.“采取措施做某事”。故将measure改为measures。
【63题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：我看见一位老妇人拿着拐杖躺在地上。catch sight of“看见”。故删除a。
【64题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意：这个男孩，而不是他的父母，去过长城。rather than“而不是”，连接两个并列主语时，谓语动词的单复数和它前面的名词保持一致，the boy为第三人称单数，所以谓语动词也用第三人称单数形式。故将have改为has。
【65题详解】
考查同位语从句。句意：我听到一个好消息，将建立一个庇护所来拯救可怜的动物。分析句子结构可知，“a shelter will be set up to save poor animals”为news的同位语从句，同位语从句中不缺成分，意思完整，所以用that引导，而且不能省略。故在news后加that。
【66题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意：你说的与我们正在讨论的事情无关。本句的主语为主语从句，从句充当主语时，视为第三人称单数，所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故将have改为has。
【67题详解】
考查时态。句意：我打算毕业后出国，尽管当时没有得到父母的支持。根据 at that time可知，本句为一般过去时态，所以谓语动词用过去式。故将intend改为intended。
【68题详解】
考查形容词。句意：这次旅行最可怕的事是他被蛇咬伤了。terrified“感到害怕的”，一般形容人的感受，terrifying“令人害怕的”，一般形容某事令人害怕。根据语境可知，这次旅行中最令人害怕的事情是他被蛇咬伤了。所以用terrifying作定语。故将terrified改为terrifying。
【69题详解】
考查可数名词的单复数。句意：他比这个班的任何其他学生都用功。any other+可数名词的单数形式，表示“其他的任何一个”。故将students改为student。
【70题详解】
考查同位语从句。句意：很明显，女性工作能力和男性一样好。分析句子结构可知，“women can work as well as men”为fact的同位语从句，从句中不缺成分，意思完整，所以用that引导从句，而不是whether。故将whether改为that。
