二、语法单选(共 15 小题，每小题 1 分，满分 15 分)
1. –Tom, you are late for school again!
–I am sorry, but you cannot imagine _________ difficulty I had _________ up this morning.
A. which; getting B. which; got C. what; getting D. what; got
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句和动名词。句意：—汤姆，你又迟到了！—对不起，但是你不能想象我今天早上起床有多么困难。分析句子可知，从句是宾语从句，从句中缺定语，根据句意引导词用what；短语have difficulty（in）doing sth.中in 是介词，其后接动名词作宾语。故选C项。
2. After the fire，________________ would otherwise be a cultural center is now reduced to a pile of ashes.
A. that B. it
C. what D. which
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句。句意：大火过后，原来是文化中心的地方现在变成了一堆灰烬。分析句子结构可知，此处为主语从句，从句中缺少主语，故C项正确。
3. When we start gazing into the night sky with a telescope, soon we’ll be astonished by the realization _________ we and our world are part of this giant system.
A. that B. why C. as D. whether
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查名词性从句连接词。句意：当我们开始用望远镜凝视夜空时，我们会突然意识到我们和我们的世界都是这个巨大系统的一部分。分析句子结构，“we and our world are part of this giant system”是同位语从句，解释说明the realization；同位语从句中不缺少任何成分，句意完整，应用连词that引导从句，不作成分，无词义。故选A项。
4. We choose this hotel because the price for a night here is down to $20, half of _______ it used to charge.
A. that B. which
C. what D. how
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查名词性从句。句意：我们之所以选择这家酒店，是因为这里一晚的价格降到20美元，是过去收费的一半。分析句子可知，介词of后跟宾语从句，在从句中作charge的宾语，表示“所……的”，要用what，故选C项。
5. There is no doubt _________ this candidate’s advantage _________ his ability to communicate with foreigners in English.
A. that; makes up B. whether; goes against
C. that; lies in D. whether; leaves out
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查同位语从句的引导词和动词短语辨析。句意：毫无疑问，这位候选人的优势在于他用英语和外国人交流的能力。分析句子结构可知第一个空格用来引导同位语从句，且在从句不作成分。that引导同位语从句时，不作成分，也没有意义。whether引导同位语从句时，不作成分，但意为“是否”。句中no doubt意为“没有疑问”，所以后面不能加“是否”的意思，故第一个空用that。也可将“there is no doubt that…”句型按固定搭配去记忆。第二个空考查动词短语辨析。A. makes up组成，编造；B. goes against违反；C. lies in在于；D. leaves out遗漏，不考虑。根据语境可知，候选人的优势是在于他用英语和外国人交流的能力。故选C。
6. It is universally acknowledged that money flows to ________ it is that controls the scarce thing.
A. whom B. whomever C. who D. whoever
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句的连接词。句意：人们普遍认为，无论谁控制着这个稀缺的东西，资金都会流向他。根据主句谓语动词flows to可知此处是一个宾语从句，分析可知，宾语从句使用了强调句型结构，去掉it is that后句子缺少主语，根据句意，whoever“无论谁”引导宾语从句，作主语，whom和whomever不能作主语，who“谁”表示疑问。故选D项。
7. ____ the flight to Beijing will be delayed is ____ I’m especially worried about.
A. If; what B. Whether; that C. When; that D. Whether; what
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】 考查名词性从句。句意：是否去北京的航班回推迟是我特别担忧的事。分析句子结构可知，第一空为主语从句，在主语从句中句子结构完整表“是否”含义，所以用whether引导；第二空为表语从句，在表语从句中缺宾语故用what。故选D。
8. The exciting moment ________ Gerry will always remember is ________ he approaches the Harbor Bridge and the Opera House.
A. that; that B. that; when C. when; that D. when; when
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句和表语从句。句意：格里永总是记得的激动人心的时刻是当他接近海港大桥和歌剧院的时候。第一空为定语从句，关系词指代先行词moment并在从句中作remember的宾语，所以用that引导；第二空为表语从句，从句不缺主宾表，缺少时间状语，所以用when引导，故B项正确。
【点睛】解答定语从句关键分两步，一是找准先行词，二是确定关系词在从句中所做的成分，例如本题第一空，分析句子结构可知此处为定语从句，先行词为moment，从句中的remember缺少宾语而不缺时间状语，所以用关系代词that而不用关系副词when引导。
9. _______is known to us all is that Johnson broke his promise ______ he would come to help me as soon as possible.
A. It; that B. What; that C. As; which D. What; which
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查名词性从句。句意：我们都知道，Johnson违背了他会尽快来帮助我的诺言。分析句子结构可知，第一空为主语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以用what，第二空为同位语从句，从句结构完整，所以用that解释promise的内容，故B项正确。
10. The policeman asked the little boy to remain ______ he was and wait for his parents.
A. where B. what C. how D. who
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查表语从句。句意：警察让小男孩留在原地等他的父母。A. where哪里；B. what什么；C. how如何；D. who谁。句中动词不定式后remain为系动词，后接表语从句，表语从句中缺少表语，表示地点。故选A。
【点睛】remain是高中重点动词，高考经常出现。关于它的用法有以下几点：
1.作不及物动词
1）表示“剩下”、“仍有”，只能用于主动语态，不可直接接宾语。
This visit will always remain in my memory.这次拜访将永远留在我的记忆当中。
2）表示“留下”、“逗留”
They went, but I remained. 他们走了，但我留下来了。
3）表示“尚待”、“留待”
This problem remains to be solved. 这个问题尚待解决。
2.作系动词
表示“一直保持”、“仍然（处于某种状态）”
1）后接名词
In spite of their quarrel, they remained the best friends. 他们虽然吵过架，但仍然是最好的朋友。
2）后接形容词
We must always remain modest and calm. 我们必须经常保持谦虚、谨慎。
3）后接动名词
She remained standing though we asked her to sit down. 虽然我们请她坐下，但她还是站着。
4）后面接seat时，seat要变成seated，看成形容词形式，意思“就座的”。也就是remain+形容词的句式
Please remain seated until the plane has come to a complete stop. 在飞机完全停稳前，请不要离开您的座位。
11. You probably can’t get much sleep if you live near ___________ a wedding reception ___________.
A. the place；is being held B. the place where；has been held
C. where；is being held D. which；has been held
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句和动词的时态。句意：如果你住的地方离一直举办婚宴的地方较近的话，你极可能得不到足够的睡眠。第一空如果视为先行词加定语从句的话，应为a/the place where；此处也可视为near的宾语从句，where在宾语从句中充当地点状语。现在进行时可表示最近一段时间一直发生的事情或持续的状态。根据句意及句子成分分析可知选C。
12. The policeman analyses the chief reasons ________ some cyclists and pedestrians will get caught in traffic accidents and ________they should do to prevent them.
A. when; that B. why; how
C. why; what D. that; where
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句和宾语从句。句意：警察分析了骑自行车和步行的人陷入交通事故的主要原因以及他们应该做什么来预防。分析句子结构并结合句意可知，第一空为定语从句，先行词为reasons，从句中缺少原因状语，用why；第二空为宾语从句，连接词在从句中作do的宾语，表达“做什么”，用what。故C项正确。
13. —Come on, please give me some ideas about the project.
—With so much work ________ my mind, I’ll almost ________.
A. filling; break up B. filled; break out C. filled; break off D. filling; break down
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词和动词短语辨析。句意：——快点，请告诉我有关这项工程的一些意见。——对不起，我满脑子都是工作，我快垮掉了。break up打破，结束；break out爆发；break off断开，中止；break down分解，出故障，垮掉。第一空是“with＋宾语＋宾补”结构，宾语work和动词fill是主动关系，用现在分词作宾语补足语，排除B、C选项；再根据语境可知，第二空指“身体垮掉”。故选D项。
14. The company is putting more money into the building of a new factory ________ the fast-growing demand for the products in the market.
A. in response to B. in return for C. in case of D. in place of
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查介词短语辨析。句意：公司投入更多的资金建设新工厂以应对市场对产品快速增长的需求。A. in response to作为对……的回应；B. in return for作为回报；C. in case of万一；D. in place of代替；根据下文“the fast-growing demand for the products in the market(市场对产品快速增长的需求)”可知，公司建设新工厂的目的是应对市场需求，故选A项。
15. We have a wide selection of sweaters that is suitable for all ages, and _________ the teenager market.
A. in general B. in short C. in turn D. in particular
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查介词短语辨析。句意：我们有很多适合各个年龄层，特别是青少年市场的毛衣可供选择。A. in general总的来说；B. in short简而言之；C. in turn反过来；D. in particular特别是。根据句意及所给句子可知，此处应用in particular，强调青少年市场。故选D。

B
Bob Cheek grew up on his parents’ farm in northern Tasmania and became a professional Australian rules football player. While many of his footballing peers went into running pubs, he was more interested in fitness, and invested in gyms “with varying degrees of success”.
He borrowed money to put into opening his first 24-hour gym in Hobart, Tasmania’s capital. “It was a risk. If it hadn’t worked out, I probably would have lost my house and everything else.” It was a struggle at first, he says, to get the local government officials to agree to it. “Twenty-four-hour gyms were unknown. They thought they were going to be the headquarters for drug distribution and murders. They couldn’t believe that people were going to go in at night and there would be no supervision (监管).”
The first opened in March 2009. It was far cheaper than most gyms and appealed to a wider range of people, including those who worked shifts and wanted to exercise at less common times. 700 people joined before it even opened. He built more in Tasmania, usually taking over old video rental shops, which had gone out of business.
Cheek ended up owning 37 gyms across Australia, with plans to move into south-east Asia. Most of the members were under 40, and he says “it kept me young, too, being involved with all these younger people coming in. Gyms are the new meeting places for young people. In my day, everyone went to the pub; now they go to the gym. It was great seeing all these young people getting fit and having a good time, and older people as well.”
“It gave me a new lease of life,” he says. “My life has got better as it’s gone on: My 60s were one of the best decades of my life, and I think my 70s are even better. I know health can have a big say in that, but for me it was like a magic carpet ride, flying into my 60s. I didn’t even feel it—I felt like I was 35 again—and that’s about having a sense of purpose, building something and helping people. I worked really hard, but I loved it.”
19. What was the barrier to Cheek’s opening of his first 24-hour gym?
A. Lacking fund. B. Getting government approval.
C. Making profits. D. Addressing security issues.
20. How did Cheek keep his running cost down?
A. He employed part-time workers. B. He had fewer employees.
C. He made use of closed shops. D. He charged membership fees.
21. What makes younger people go to the gym nowadays?
A. The desire to meet older people. B. The closure of pubs.
C. The curiosity about novelty. D. The shift in their way of life.
22. What does running gyms bring Cheek?
A. A great wealth. B. A meaningful life.
C. A virtual world. D. A heavy burden.
【答案】19. B 20. C 21. D 22. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。介绍了一位澳大利亚运动员开办24小时健身馆的经历。
【19题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It was a struggle at first, he says, to get the local government officials to agree to it. “Twenty-four-hour gyms were unknown. They thought they were going to be the headquarters for drug distribution and murders. They couldn’t believe that people were going to go in at night and there would be no supervision (监管).”(他说，起初很难让当地政府官员同意。“24小时健身房是未知的。他们认为他们将成为毒品分布和谋杀的场地。他们不能相信有人要在晚上进去，而且没有监管”)”可知要开24小时健身馆起步艰难是因为很难让政府官员同意，因为他们认为里面可能会出现毒品和谋杀而且不相信晚上会有人去锻炼，所以政府可能不会批准，故开24小时健身馆最大的障碍是获得政府的批准；故选B项。
【20题详解】
细节理解题。跟根据文章第三段“It was far cheaper than most gyms and appealed to a wider range of people, including those who worked shifts and wanted to exercise at less common times. 700 people joined before it even opened. He built more in Tasmania, usually taking over old video rental shops, which had gone out of business.(它比大多数健身房便宜得多，而且吸引了更广泛的人群，包括那些轮班工作的人，他们希望在不那么平常的时间锻炼。还没开张就有700人加入了。他在Tasmania建立更多的健身馆，通常是接管那些已经倒闭的老录像出租店)”可知他的健身馆比大多数的健身馆要便宜的多，因为他通常是接管哪些倒闭的的店铺，这样成本肯定比重新租赁新场所要低，故他利用倒闭的店铺来降低运营成本；故选C项。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Gyms are the new meeting places for young people. In my day, everyone went to the pub; now they go to the gym. It was great seeing all these young people getting fit and having a good time, and older people as well.(健身房是年轻人新的聚会场所。在我的那个年代，每个人都去酒吧；现在他们去健身房。很高兴看到所有这些年轻人变得健康并享受美好时光，还有老年人)”可知，在Cheek那个年代，年轻人去酒吧，但是现在，他们去健身房，由此可知这是每个时代的生活方式的不同，导致年轻人的喜好发生改变，即如今年轻人热爱健身运动是因为他们的生活方式发生了转变；故选D项。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““It gave me a new lease of life,” he says. “My life has got better as it’s gone on: My 60s were one of the best decades of my life, and I think my 70s are even better. I know health can have a big say in that, but for me it was like a magic carpet ride, flying into my 60s. I didn’t even feel it—I felt like I was 35 again—and that’s about having a sense of purpose, building something and helping people. I worked really hard, but I loved it.”(“它让我重获新生，”他说。“随着时间的推移，我的生活变得越来越好:我的60岁是我生命中最美好的十年之一，我认为我的70岁甚至更好。我知道健康在这方面有很大的发言权，但对我来说，这就像是骑魔毯一样，飞向我的60岁。我甚至没有这种感觉——我感觉自己又回到了35岁——这就是有目标感，建立某种东西和帮助别人。我工作很努力，但我很喜欢。”)”可知开健身馆让Cheek重获新生一般，让他感觉生活变得越来越好，因为他有了建立某种东西来帮助别人的目标感，他很喜欢并且工作很努力，因为他觉得这些都是很有意义的，故推知开健身馆给Cheek带来一个有意义的人生；故选B项。
C
Awe is generally defined as the sense that you are in the presence of something larger and more consequential than yourself. According to a study called “awe walks”, people who took a fresh look at the world around them during brief, weekly walks felt more upbeat and hopeful in general than walkers who did not. Feeling a sense of awe also seems to up our overall feelings of gladness and improve health.
Previous studies have linked increased physical activity to greater happiness and reduced risks for anxiety, depression and other mental illnesses. But no studies had looked into whether mixing awe and activity might increase the benefits of or, on the other hand, reduce them. So, for the new study, scientists concentrated on people in their 60s, 70s and 80s, an age when some people can face risks for declining mental health.
The scientists asked 52 volunteers to add a weekly 15-minute walk to their normal schedules. All of them were physically healthy and psychologically well-adjusted, with little anxiety or depression. Then they were randomly divided into two groups. One, as a control group, was asked to start walking, preferably outside, but given few other requirements. The other group was not only asked to walk once a week, but also were instructed in how to cultivate awe as they walked. “Basically, we told them to try to go and walk somewhere new, since novelty helps to cultivate awe,” says Virginia Sturm, an associate professor who led the new study.
Both groups were asked to take a few selfies during their walks and upload them to a lab website and also complete a daily online assessment of their current mood. After eight weeks, the scientists compared the groups’ responses and photos. Not surprisingly, the awe walkers felt happier, less upset and more socially connected than the control group members.
The findings are subjective, though, since awe, like other emotions, is difficult to quantify, but Dr Sturm thinks awe walks could be a simple thing for small wonders without any downside.
23. What makes the new study different from the previous ones?
A. It concentrated on older people.
B. It found the solution to mental health.
C. It associated physical exercise with happiness.
D. It took both activity and awe into consideration.
24. What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A. Only the control group practiced weekly walks
B. The volunteers were suffering mental diseases .
C. Some volunteers were given directions.
D. The volunteers were divided by age .
25. Why are the findings regarded subjective?
A. The number of volunteers is small.
B. The 15-minute walk is not enough.
C. The awe emotion is hard to measure.
D. No downside of awe walks is found.
26. What is the attitude of Dr Sturm to “awe walks”?
A. Reserved. B. Supportive. C. Indifferent. D. Critical.
【答案】23. D 24. C 25. C 26. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了将敬畏感和活动结合起来能增强人的幸福感，有利于精神健康。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“But no studies had looked into whether mixing awe and activity might increase the benefits(但是没有研究调查过是否把敬畏感和运动结合起来会提高益处)”可知，新研究不同于之前的研究的地方在于把敬畏感和活动结合起来考虑，故选D项。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The other group was not only asked to walk once a week, but also were instructed in how to cultivate awe as they walked.(另一组不仅被要求每周散步一次，而且被指导在散步的时候如何培养敬畏感)”可知，有一些志愿者被给予了指导，故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The findings are subjective, though, since awe, like other emotions, is difficult to quantify(然而这一发现是很主观的，因为敬畏感和其他的情绪一样是很难量化的)”可知，敬畏感难以测量，故选C项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dr Sturm thinks awe walks could be a simple thing for small wonders without any downside.( Sturm先生认为有敬畏感的散步对于小奇迹来说可能是一件简单的事情，没有任何负面影响)”可以推理出，Sturm先生对于有敬畏感的散步持支持的态度，故选B项。
D
Quantum (量子) computers have been on my mind a lot lately. A friend has been sending me articles on how quantum computers might help solve some of the biggest challenges we face as humans. I’ve also had exchanges with two quantum-computing experts. One is computer scientist Chris Johnson who I see as someone who helps keep the field honest. The other is physicist Philip Taylor.
For decades, quantum computing has been little more than a laboratory curiosity. Now, big tech companies have invested in quantum computing, as have many smaller ones. According to Business Weekly, quantum machines could help us “cure cancer, and even take steps to turn climate change in the opposite direction.” This is the sort of hype ( 炒 作 ) that annoys Johnson. He worries that researchers are making promises they can’t keep. “What’s new,” Johnson wrote, “is that millions of dollars are now potentially available to quantum computing researchers.”
As quantum computing attracts more attention and funding, researchers may mislead investors, journalists, the public and, worst of all, themselves about their work’s potential. If researchers can’t keep their promises, excitement might give way to doubt, disappointment and anger, Johnson warns. Lots of other technologies have gone through stages of excitement. But something about quantum computing makes it especially prone to hype, Johnson suggests, perhaps because “quantum” stands for something cool you shouldn’t be able to understand. And that brings me back to Taylor, who suggested that I read his book Q for Quantum.
After I read the book, Taylor patiently answered my questions about it. He also answered my questions about PyQuantum, the firm he co-founded in 2016. Taylor shares Johnson’s concerns about hype, but he says those concerns do not apply to PyQuantum.
The company, he says, is closer than any other firm “by a very large margin ( 幅 度 )” to building a “useful” quantum computer, one that “solves an important problem that we would not have been able to solve otherwise.” He adds, “People will naturally discount my opinions, but I have spent a lot of time quantitatively comparing what we are doing with others.”
Could PyQuantum really be leading all the competition “by a wide margin”, as Taylor claims? I don’t know. I’m certainly not going to advise my friend or anyone else to invest in quantum computers. But I trust Taylor, just as I trust Johnson.
27. How does the author feels about Johnson’s concerns?
A. Approving. B. Unconcerned C. Doubtful D. Excited.
28. What leads to Taylor’s optimism about quantum computing?
A. His dominance in physics. B. The competition in the field.
C. His confidence in PyQuantum. D. The investment of tech companies.
29. What does the underlined word “prone” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A. Open. B. Cool. C. Useful. D. Resistant.
30. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Is Quantum Computing A Solution to all Challenges?
B. Is Quantum Computing Redefining Technology?
C. Will Quantum Computers Ever Come into Being?
D. Will Quantum Computing Ever Live Up to Its Hype?
【答案】27. A 28. C 29. A 30. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕“量子计算真的会像它宣传的那样成功吗？”展开论述，并展示了计算机科学家克里斯·约翰逊和物理学家菲利普·泰勒的观点。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But I trust Taylor, just as I trust Johnson (但是我相信泰勒，就像我相信约翰逊一样)”可知，作者相信约翰逊，所以对约翰逊的担忧会持支持的态度，故选A项。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“The company, he says, is closer than any other firm ‘by a very large margin ( 幅 度 )’ to building a ‘useful’ quantum computer, one that ‘solves an important problem that we would not have been able to solve otherwise.’ He adds, ‘People will naturally discount my opinions, but I have spent a lot of time quantitatively comparing what we are doing with others.’(他说，这家公司比其他任何公司都在很大程度上接近于制造出有用的量子计算机，它解决了一个有影响力的问题，否则我们无法解决这个问题。他还补充说道：“人们自然不会相信我的观点，但是我已经花了很多时间来定量地比较我们与他人的做法”)”可推知，泰勒对量子计算的乐观来自于他对PyQuantum的信心，故选C项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“But something about quantum computing makes it especially prone to hype, Johnson suggests, perhaps because “quantum” stands for something cool you shouldn’t be able to understand.(但是约翰逊表明，量子计算的某些方面使得它特别……被炒作，或许是因为量子代表了一些你可能不理解的很酷的东西)”可推出，量子计算因量子代表了很酷的东西，所以容易被人炒作，划线词的含义应为“容易……的”，与形容词open“(容易)受……的”意思相近。故选A项。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段“Quantum (量子) computers have been on my mind a lot lately. A friend has been sending me articles on how quantum computers might help solve some of the biggest challenges we face as humans. I’ve also had exchanges with two quantum-computing experts. One is computer scientist Chris Johnson who I see as someone who helps keep the field honest. The other is physicist Philip Taylor. (量子计算机最近一直萦绕在我的脑海里。一位朋友一直在给我发文章，讨论量子计算机如何帮助解决我们人类面临的一些最大挑战。我还和两位量子计算专家交流过。其中一位是计算机科学家克里斯·约翰逊，我认为他是一个帮助保持该领域诚实的人。另一位是物理学家菲利普·泰勒。)”、第二段中“This is the sort of hype ( 炒 作 ) that annoys Johnson.(这种炒作让约翰逊很恼火。)”和第五段中“Taylor shares Johnson’s concerns about hype, but he says those concerns do not apply to PyQuantum.(泰勒和约翰逊一样担心炒作，但他说这些担忧并不适用于PyQuantum。)”可推知，作者通过计算机科学家克里斯·约翰逊和物理学家菲利普·泰勒的交流，探讨了量子计算是否是炒作，探讨了它成功的可能。所以D项“Will Quantum Computing Ever Live Up to Its Hype?(量子计算会像它宣传的那样成功吗？)”是文章主题的最佳概括，适合作为标题，故选D项。

Up in the air—a history of ballooning
The first kind of air transportation was the balloon. People traveled by balloon one hundred years before there were planes or jet aircraft. Those early days of ballooning were exciting, but they were also risky. ___31___ However, the danger did not stop the balloonists.
The first real balloon flight was in France in 1783. Two French brothers made a balloon. ___32___Hot air is lighter than cold air, so it goes up. The hot air balloon went up 1,000 feet in the sky.
___33___They built a fire under the balloon to make the air hot. This made the balloon stay up in the air for a few hours. But their balloon was tied to the ground. So it could not go anywhere.
Soon balloonists tried longer flights. In 1785, an American and a Frenchman flew over the English Channel. They left England on a cold, clear January day. Halfway across, their balloon began to drop toward the water. They threw out some equipment and food to make the balloon lighter. The balloon continued to fall, so they threw out almost everything in the basket -even some of their clothes. ___34___
During the nineteenth century, ballooning became a popular sport and balloons were also used by scientists to study the air and by armies in war time. After the airplane was invented, however, interest in balloons decreased dramatically. But some people today still like to go up in balloons. ___35___What’s more, they have a wonderful view of the world below.
A. They filled a very large paper bag with hot air.
B. High up in the balloon basket, they find quiet.
C. Sometimes the balloons fell suddenly and sometimes they burned.
D. Back then, few people understood how they were able to fly so far.
E. Finally, after about three hours, they landed in France, cold but safe.
F. Balloon races and displays remain popular all over the world to this very day.
G. Later that same year, two other Frenchmen ascended in a basket under a balloon.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了卤菜的起源，发展以及它的特色。
【51题详解】
考查副词。句意：它最初的意思是用盐水煮肉，然后凉着吃，还有蔬菜。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰动词，需要副词。origin为名词“起源”，其副词形式为originally，意为“最初”。故填originally。
【52题详解】
考查介词。句意：盐是卤菜的核心，甚至比香料更重要。the core of意为“……的核心”，空格处用of表所属。故填of。
【53题详解】
考查连词。句意：香料可以增加一种宜人的气味或去除一些气味，但盐对味道至关重要。根据空前可知，香料可以增加一种宜人的气味或去除一些气味，但是盐对味道至关重要，前后为转折关系，所以用转折连词but。故填but。
【54题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：最早的制作卤菜的秘方可以追溯到《齐民要术》，这是一本写于5世纪的中国古代农业著作。分析句子结构可知，句中已经有谓语动词date back to，所以空处需要非谓语动词作定语，recipes和preserve之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此空格处用过去分词表被动，故填preserved。
【55题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：曹认为，我们今天所知道的卤菜出现在明代，当时中国出现了私营农业企业和食品市场。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词the Ming dynasty，先行词在定语从句中作时间状语，所以用关系副词when来引导。故填when。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：为了吸引顾客，这些企业开始通过向卤菜添加调味品引进新口味。分析句子结构可知，句子已有谓语动词began，空格处用非谓语动词，根据语境可知，句子表示“为了吸引顾客，这些企业开始通过向卤菜添加调味品引进新口味”，空格处用不定式表目的，位于句首的单词首字母大写，故填To attract。
【57题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：然后他们用它来调味冷藏出售的熟肉和蔬菜，作为外卖。分析句子结构可知，空处为定语从句的谓语动词，熟肉和蔬菜被卖，句子用被动语态，句子描述过去的事情，时态为一般过去时，因此空格处是一般过去时的被动语态，关系代词that指代先行词meats and vegetables，“meats and vegetables”为复数，因此空格处是were sold，故填were sold。
【58题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意：在此后的几个世纪里，卤菜已经变得多样化，呈现出中国各地区菜系的特点。century是可数名词，此处表示不止一个世纪，因此空格处用复数，故填centuries。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意：例如，在四川省，香喷喷的胡椒被放入卤菜中，以增加风味和浓度。根据and前面的favor可知，空处需要名词作add的并列宾语。intense为形容词“强烈的”，其名词形式为intensity，意为“浓度”，是不可数名词。故填intensity。
【60题详解】
考查冠词。句意：有些Lu甚至含酒精：早露是一种清淡的酒，用中国黄酒酿造的发酵大米残渣制成。根据语境可知，早露是一种清淡的酒，所以要用不定冠词表示泛指，空后的单词light为辅音音素开始的单词，要用不定冠词a。故填a。

What shapes a great scientist?
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】What shapes a great scientist?
Talking about great scientists, we are often reminded of people like QianXueSen or HuangXuHua. It is true that they are great, but what shapes them in their growth? Actually, I strongly believe that hobby and determination are what shape a great scientist.
As we all know, YuanLongPing was one of the greatest scientists of our country. When he was young he had a dream and determined to solve his motherland’s crop problem. It was determination that carried him from a common citizen to one of the greatest scientists. If you are familiar with him I think you should know that YuanLongPing enjoy swimming, volleyball as well as motor cycling in his spare time. It is hobbies that add color to his scientific life and help him rest for a while after a day’s hard work.
Therefore as far as I am concerned hobby and determination are two elements that shape a great scientist.
