【解析】
【详解】考查语态和固定搭配。句意:由这种布料做成的外套很好洗。我认为值得购买。动词wash和副词连用表示主语的特点时,用主动语态表示被动含义;本句中“wash well”表示“这种衣服好洗”。形容词短语sth be worthy of being done/be worthy to be done值得做某事。故选C。
19. He has two sons, work as chemists.
A. both of which B. both of whom
C. both of who D. both of them

【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:他有两个儿子,都是化学家。逗号前后是两个句子,逗号不能充当连词,所以空处为从句,根据句意和选项可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词two sons,指人,“两者都”应用both of...,关系词在从句中作介词of的宾语,应用whom来引导,故选B。

D. are busily preparing
【答案】B
【解析】

23. ______ a little money, Jimmy was able to buy his mother a lovely new lamp.
A. To save B. Saving C. Saved D. Having saved
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:存下了一点钱后,吉米能给他妈妈买一盏漂亮的新灯了。分析句子可知,save做状语,用非唯一的动词形式,句子主语Jimmy和save之间是逻辑上的主动关系,“save a little money”的动作在主句谓语动词的动作“was able to buy…”之前发生,因此用现在分词完成式作状语。故选D。
24. After his son, he walked out, in a blue hat, with his son.
A. Dressed...dressed B. being dressed...dressed
C. dressing...dressed D. having dressed...being dressed
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:给儿子穿好衣服后,他戴着一顶蓝色的帽子,带着儿子走了出来。句中有谓语walked,第一空在介词after后面,应用动名词形式,dress sb.意为“给某人穿衣服”,第一空表示主动关系,应用动名词dressing作宾语;第二空是非谓语动词作状语,be dressed in固定搭配,意为“穿着”,所以此处应用过去分词形式作状语,故选C。
25. Hardly when the wedding ceremony to begin.
A. had the limousine arrived...announced
B. did the limousine arrive...announced
C. had the limousine arrived...was announced
D. arrived the limousine...was announced
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型,时态,语态和主谓一致。句意:豪华轿车刚到,婚礼就宣布开始了。hardly...when...是固定句型,意为“刚……就……”,前半句用过去完成时,后半句用一般过去时,hardly是否定副词,位于句首,引起部分倒装,因此前半句中用部分倒装,即had位于主语前面,因此第一空是had the limousine arrived;婚礼是被宣布,因此第二空中用一般过去时的被动语态,ceremony是单数,因此第二空是was announced,故选C。
26. Only when you have been familiar with the plan ______.
A then you’ll be able to carry it out
B. were you able to carry it out
C. and you will be able to carry out it
D. will you be able to carry it out
【答案】D
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查倒装句。句意:只有你熟悉了该计划,你才能将它执行。“only+ when引导的时间状语从句”位于句首,主句需要使用部分倒装语序(一般疑问句的语序),因此A项错误;空格处应填入主句,因此出现并列连词and是不合理的,即C项错误;B项使用了倒装语序,但是它使用的时态(一般过去时)是错误的,由语境可知,执行计划是“将来”要发生的事情,应使用一般将来时。故选D。
【点睛】“only+状语(从句)”位于句,句子(主句)通常要用部分倒装语序。
1. “only+副词”位于句首。如:
Only then did I realize that I was wrong. 只是到了那时我才意识到是我错了。
2. “only+介词短语”位于句首。如:
Only by working hard can you succeed. 只有努力工作你才能成功。
Only in the reading-room can you find him. 你只有在阅览室你才能找到他。
3. “only+状语从句”位于句首。如:
Only when one loses freedom does one know its value. 一个人只有在失去自由后才知道自由的可贵。
27. After the war, a new school building was put up ____________ there had once been a theatre.
A. that B. where
C. which D. when
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查地点状语从句。句意:战争结束后,在曾经是剧院的地方建起了一座新的校舍。定语从句中有表示地点的先行词,而地点状语从句中则没有;定语从句的关系词根据需要可用“介词+which”来代替where,而地点状语从句则通常只能由where引导。该题中无表示地点的先行词,是表示地点的状语从句。故选B。
28. much advice you give him, he does exactly what he wants.
A. No matter B. Whether C. Whatever D. However
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查让步状语从句。句意:不管你给他多少建议,他总是为所欲为。由“much advice you give him, he does exactly what he wants”可知,句子表示“不管你给他多少建议,他总是为所欲为”,修饰much用however,故选D。
29. It was in the lab was taken charge of by Professor Harris they did the experiment.
A. which; that B. that; what C. whom; that D. that; which
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句和强调句型。句意:他们是在哈里斯教授负责的实验室里做实验的。分析句子可知,本句使用了强调句型“It + is/was + 被强调部分 + that/who + 句子其它部分”,在强调句中,当被强调部分是人时,可以使用who代替that。本句中强调的是原句中地点状语“in the lab was taken charge of by Professor Harris”,所以第2空处填that;在被强调部分“in the lab was taken charge of by Professor Harris”中,空格后是限制性定语从句,修饰先行词lab,指物,关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语,应使用关系代词which或that引导该定语从句。结合选项,故选A项。
30. Many people now make a rule to buy cards for their friends before Christmas.
A. themselves B. it C. that D. this
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查it用法。句意:现在很多人都习惯在圣诞节前给朋友买贺卡。A. themselves他们自己;B. it它;C. that那个;D. this这个。make it a rule to do是固定短语,意为“养成……的习惯”,其中it是形式宾语,真正的宾语是不定式,因此空格处是it。故选B。

My first shopping in a general store was in Miss Bee’s when I spent the summer with my grandmother in New York.
“Go get them yourself” Miss Bee said, ignoring the shopping list held up before her nose. “I’m not your servant, so just get yourself a basket from that pile over there and start filing.”
It took me three wall-to-wall searches before I found the first item on my list―a pork can be placed between boxes of cereal and bread. Next up was toilet paper, found under the daily newspaper, and Band-Ads, found next to the face cream. The store was a puzzle, but it held some surprises too. I found a new Superman comic behind the peanut butter.
I visited Miss Bee a couple of times a week that summer. Some times she short-charged me. Other times she overcharged or sold mean old newspaper instead of a current one. Going to the store was more like going into battle. I left my Grandma’s house armed with my list—memorized to the letter—and marched into Miss Bee’s like General Patton (巴顿将军) marching into North Africa.
All summer long she found ways to trip me up. No sooner had I learned how to pronounce bicarbonate of soda (小苏打) and memorized its location on the shelf than Miss Bee rearranged the shelves and made me hunt for it all over again. By summer’s end, however, the shopping trip that had once taken mean hour was done in 15 minutes.
The morning I was to return to Brooklyn, I stopped into tell her that she was mean (刻薄的). To my amazement she laughed and said. “Well, I don’t care! Each of us is put on this earth for a reason. I believe my job is to teach every child I meet ten life lessons to help them. Think what you will, but when you get older you’ll be glad our paths crossed!”
I thought the idea was absurd until one day my daughter came to me with homework troubles.
“It’s too hard,” she said. “Could you finish my math problems for me?”
“If I do it for you, how will you ever learn to do it yourself?” I said.
Suddenly, I was back at that general store where I had learned the hard way totally up (结算) my bill along with the cashier. As my daughter went back to her homework, I wondered: Had Miss Bee really taught me something all those years ago? I took out some scrap paper and started writing.
34. Why did the writer spend a long time doing her first shopping in the general store?
A. She was too young to remember all the items on the list.
B. Miss Bee didn’t treat her kindly.
C. Her grandmother asked her to buy too many things.
D. The store was in disorder and she was not familiar with the shop.
35. What did the writer mean when comparing herself to “General Patton” in Paragraph 4?
A. She was well prepared and full of confidence.
B. Going shopping in the store was a challenge to her.
C. She was very aggressive, taking Miss Bee as the enemy.
D. Going shopping was so fun that it was like playing a war game.
36. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 6 probably suggest?
A. The writer would benefit from the experience of shopping in Miss Bee’s.
B. The writer would find shopping in Miss Bee’s store very interesting.
C The writer would be happy to meet Miss Bee again later in life.
D. The writer would realize that Miss Bee could become her friend.
37. At the end of the story, the writer might write down the following EXCEPT .
A. Don’t be so quick to judge other people
B. The best teacher isn’t only in school
C. Stick to your dream whatever happens
D. Things can be learned in daily routines
【答案】34. D 35. B 36. A 37. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了小时候作者去商店买东西时,商店主人Miss Bee总是重新摆放货架上的东西,让作者出丑,作者认为她很刻薄,但是多年后作者意识到Miss Bee并不像她所想的那样,反而她在日常生活中教会了作者一些东西。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“It took me three wall-to-wall searches before I found the first item on my list―a pork can be placed between boxes of cereal and bread. Next up was toilet paper, found under the daily newspaper, and Band-Ads, found next to the face cream. The store was a puzzle, but it held some surprises too. I found a new Superman comic behind the peanut butter. (我搜索了三个墙,我发现第一个物品在我的清单上——猪肉可以放在麦片和面包盒子之间。接下来是卫生纸,在日报下面找到的,还有邦迪广告,在面霜旁边找到的。商店是一个谜,但它也有一些惊喜。我在花生酱后面发现了一本新的超人漫画。)”可推知,这家商店杂乱无章,作者对这家商店不熟悉,这使得作者花了很长时间在杂货店里购物,故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Going to the store was more like going into battle. I left my Grandma’s house armed with my list—memorized to the letter—and marched into Miss Bee’s like General Patton (巴顿将军) marching into North Africa. (去商店更像是去打仗。我离开奶奶家的时候,手里拿着我的名单——一字不差地背下来——然后像巴顿将军(General Patton)进军北非一样,大步走进比小姐家。)”可知,作者将自己去商店买东西类比成General Patton进军北非打仗一样,由此可推知,去商店购物对于作者来说并不是件简单的事,即去商店购物对作者来说是个挑战。故选B。
【36题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线句子前文“To my amazement she laughed and said. “Well, I don’t care! Each of us is put on this earth for a reason. I believe my job is to teach every child I meet ten life lessons to help them. (令我惊讶的是,她笑着说。“好吧,我不在乎!我们每个人来到这个世界上都是有原因的。我相信我的工作就是教会我遇到的每一个孩子十个人生课程以此来帮助他们。)”和划线句子“Think what you will, but when you get older you’ll be glad our paths crossed!” (随你怎么想,等你长大了,你会很高兴我们相遇了!”)”可知,Miss Bee认为,每个人来到世界都是有原因的,她的工作就是教会她遇到的每一个孩子十个人生课程,以此来帮助他们。由此可推知,Miss Bee说“随你怎么想,等你长大了,你会很高兴我们相遇了!”这句话是在表明作者将从她身上学到一些东西,即受益,故选A。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“To my amazement she laughed and said. “Well, I don’t care! Each of us is put on this earth for a reason. I believe my job is to teach every child I meet ten life lessons to help them. Think what you will, but when you get older you’ll be glad our paths crossed!” (令我惊讶的是,她笑着说。“好吧,我不在乎!我们每个人来到这个世界上都是有原因的。我相信我的工作就是教会我遇到的每一个孩子十个人生课程以此来帮助他们。随你怎么想,等你长大了,你会很高兴我们相遇了!”)”和最后一段中“Suddenly, I was back at that general store where I had learned the hard way totally up (结算) my bill along with the cashier. (突然,我又回想起了那家杂货店,在那里我学到了一条艰难的道路,那就是和收银员一起把账单全部结清。)”可知,小时候作者去商店买东西时,商店主人Miss Bee总是重新摆放货架上的东西,让作者出丑,作者认为她很刻薄,但是多年后作者意识到Miss Bee并不像她所想的那样,反而她在日常生活中教会了作者一些东西,由此可知,作者接下来可能会写Miss Bee教会她的一些东西,A“别这么快就评判别人”,B项“ 最好的老师不仅仅是在学校”和D项“在日常生活中可以学习一些东西”符合,C项“无论发生什么,都要坚持你的梦想”不符合,文章没有提到梦想,故选C。
C
My best friend traveled to stay with our family last weekend. When she arrived, she went straight to the kitchen and, without asking, ate a spoonful of raspberry jam and some dried fruit. She wasn’t being rude. I knew she would do this. We’ve known each other for almost 20 years. She can eat anything she wants from my kitchen. Indeed, I bought her favorite fruits and snacks at the shop that morning.
Our long weekend together was luxuriously (惬意地) simple. I was recovering from surgery (手术) and couldn’t go to shopping malls. We passed the time running errands (做杂事), going to the post office and collecting dry cleaning. We drank way too many cappuccinos. But we talked about every little detail of our lives.
There’s never been a quiet moment in our friendship. We’ve lived in different cities for almost a decade. Reunions demand constant conversation. our personalities are matched, to be sure, and a shared history is indescribably valuable. We were competitors in high school before bonding over a bad experience. Then we discovered the many interests that we had in common. Our friendship cemented (巩固) itself quickly. We stayed companions through law school, through our first jobs and our first boyfriends. We supported each other through break-ups and breakthroughs. Ours is a friendship for the ages.
There is something special about friends who know everyone and everything about you. They are rare. These are the people you’ve chosen to witness your life. They have seen the bright lights of achievement, the depths of despair (绝望) and the boring routine (平淡乏味) of the in-between.
It’s special to unpack feelings and frustrations without wasting time filling in the blanks. As my long weekend shows, with such friends we don’t have to “do”, we simply have to “be”. We drop the act, the performance, the public version of ourselves.
The special friendships are those which never fail to delight, the continuation of which is worth the extra effort, despite distance and difference sneaking (溜进) into your separate lives. I had the very great joy of this reminder last weekend. I’m lucky to have found this friend, to see a future where her companionship remains. Being together is perfection.

From self-driving cars to care bots for elderly people, the rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat(威胁) to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to change businesses.
“The next fifteen years will see a change in how we work, and a change will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, director of Work pace Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific. A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.
The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates. But the report states, “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs—just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research. “The growth of companies that have the speed and technological knowledge will directly challenge big companies,” it states.
A report by Pew Research Center found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and-robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. “The optimists pictured a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith, the reports co-author. “Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been people out of work, when we reach a few billion people there will be billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,” Jonathan Grudin told researchers.
42. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The result of job reduction.
B. The fast development of AI.
C. The future life of elderly people.
D. The influence of technology on jobs.
43. What will people most probably do in the future?
A. Take the place of AI.
B. Work in a traditional way.
C. Take up jobs requiring creativity.
D. Enjoy better and changeable workplaces.
44. What can be known from Grudin’s words in the last paragraph?
A. More people will suffer unemployment.
B. More jobs tend to appear in the future.
C. Job competition is likely to grow sharper.
D. Technology will have less control over jobs.
45. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Are People Losing Their Jobs?
B. The Requirements for Future Jobs
C. The Challenging Life in the Future
D. Does Technology Simplify Everything?
【答案】42. D 43. C 44. B 45. A
【解析】

考查动词时态语态。句意:这笔钱将在四年时间内分发,目的是帮助阿瓦达县大约1000名无家可归的人。分析句子可知,句中in the following 4 years表示动作发生在将来,同时distribute主语The money是被动关系,故用一般将来时的被动语态,故填will be distributed。
【77题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一家机构,总部在Woodbridge,预计将获得150万美元。分析句子可知,句中谓语动词为is,base与One agency是被动关系,故用过去分词作定语。故填based。
【78题详解】
考查不定式。句意同上。be expected to do sth.“被预计……”,用不定式作主语补足语,故填to receive。
【79题详解】
考查动名词。句意:该机构负责人表示,他们将把资源集中在教育无家可归者上。介词后接动名词作宾语。故填educating。
80题详解】
考查表语从句。句意:一所“学校之家”就是它听起来的样子。分析句子可知,空处引导表语从句,从句like是介词,缺少宾语,指物,用从属连词what引导表语从句,故填what。
【81题详解】
考查连词。句意:我们让无家可归的人离开街头,我们教育他们,这样他们就不必回到街头。根据句意并分析句子可知,空处用连词连接两个句子,前后文是顺承关系,故填and。
【82题详解】
考查冠词。句意:你不会相信我们已经取得的成功。修饰名词用冠词,根据句意此处特指“我们已经取得的成功”。故填the。
【83题详解】
考查动词。句意:他做得比我好。分析句子,设空处使用动词作谓语,句子表示动作正在发生,故使用现在进行时。故填is doing。
【84题详解】
考查介词。句意:他免费修理了我们的空调。for free“免费地”是固定短语,根据句意,故填for。
【85题详解】
考查代词。句意:我想我也可以自己报名参加空调课。分析句子并根据句意可知,空处与主语指同一人,故用反身代词作状语,故填myself。
第四部分 写作(满分25分)
86. 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。
At six years old, I dreamed of becoming an artist. My mom knew this, so she gave the perfect gift to a first-grade artist like me. My friends and I called them “Stampy Markers (马克笔)”. They quickly became my treasure.
Unfortunately, my little sister thought they were amazing, too. For three days in a row, she would ask to play with my markers. However, each time, she would receive my firm “No”. Finally, maybe realizing it was impossible to take them from.me, she stopped asking. And I was able to leave them out in my room when I went to school, certain that she understood they were forbidden to her.
The first day that I didn’t hide them, I got home from school and went upstairs to my room. Right away, I saw that my markers were not where I had left them. My rainbow-colored treasures were gone!
Suspecting that my sister might have something to do with their ds appearance, I searched the entire house for her. Finally, I found her in the basement and, sure enough, she was working on some rainbow drawing with my markers surrounding her.
“Hey! Why did you take them while I was away?” I started yelling at her.
“Sorry...but I...” she murmured.
Before she could make any explanation, I grabbed the markers—at least the ones I could reach—and ran back up to my room, slamming the door shut behind me. I sat there for at least half an hour, but it seemed like much longer. Then, I heard my sister’s footsteps coming up the stairs.
I opened my mouth, about to demand that she give the rest of my markers back, when I noticed a folded piece of paper being pushed underneath the door.
Once it reached my side of the door, I picked it up. As I read the words written on the cover, my anger quickly fell away.
What was on the paper was something that I would never forget.

I opened the door, reached out to her and gave her a hug.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】What was on the paper was something that I would never forget. On the cover were those words carefully written “Best Sister Ever”, though crooked. As I unfolded it, I was amazed at what I saw—a picture, in which she and I smiled happily with hands holding tightly and a rainbow above. Moved yet guilty, I couldn’t help but regret that I had yelled at my younger sister, while she was making a so lovely gift for me. Leaning against the door, I suddenly realized my sister must be standing on the other side of the door, nervously expecting my response and my forgiveness.
I opened the door, reached out to her and gave her a hug. “I’m sorry. You are surely my best sister too.” With guilt and shame stirring in me, I murmured, “Could you forgive me?”, holding her in my arms even closer. She nodded her head, eyes twinkling with joy. Later that afternoon we finished the rainbow drawing together, with laughter echoing in our room. The “stampy markers” ended up running out of color or getting lost, but the memory of that day will never faded away from my mind, constantly reminding me that the greatest treasure of all is love and forgiveness you have for your family and of course, theirs for you, too.
