【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查介词+关系代词。句意:扬州,以其令人惊叹的园林抓住了游客的心,正在实现交通现代化。分析句子可知,此句为非限制性定语从句,关系代词of which在定语从句做定语,相当于the amazing gardens of Yangzhou.故选C。
【点睛】关系代词whose引导定语从句时,既可指人,又可指物,在从句中只能作定语,of whom只能指人,of which只能指物,有时whose可与of whom和of which互换。但以下情况中只能用of which和of whom:1. 定语从句的主语是few,some,most,many,much。2. 定语从句的主语是数词、形容词的最高级。3. 定语从句的主语是all,none,both,neither,each等不定代词。

A. whether B. what C. that D. when
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查名词性从句。句意:他开始写论文,因为他知道他一整天都不会被打扰。分析句子可知,that引导同位语从句,解释knowledge的内容。故选C。
24.________ chairman of the committee, he felt on top of the world.
A. Electing B. Elected C. To be elected D. Having elected
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:由于被选举为委员会的主席,所以他特别开心。elect与主语he是被动关系,所以用过去分词。故选B。

A. even if B. so that C. except that D. as long as
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句。句意:只要你有诚实的态度和强大的意志,就没有你无法达到的目标。A. even if即使……也,B. so that因此或为了,C. except that除了……之外,D. as long as只要。even if引导让步状语从句,so that引导结果状语从句或目的状语从句,except that整个介宾短语充当让步状语,与句意不符,故选D。

C. should have abandoned D. were to abandon
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意:要不是来自音乐老师的鼓励,我可能会放弃成为钢琴家的梦想。表达的是与过去事实相反的假设,所以用的是might have + 过去分词。故选A。
28.— Did you have difficulty finding that cave?
—Not really. The guide ________ us clear directions and we were able to find it easily.
A. was to give B. had given C. was giving D. would give
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意:——你在找山洞时有困难吗?——不会。导游给我们指明了方向,所以我们很轻松就找到了。分析句子可知,向导为我们指明方向发生在我们后来得以轻松找到那个山洞之前,所以用过去完成时。故选B。

【点睛】当“only+状语”位于句首时,后面的句子要用部分倒装,其中only后的状语可以是副词、介词短语、从句等。但在only后作状语的是从句时,从句不用倒装,要部分倒装的是主句。
32.It is said that the bills ________ at the coming session will address the international conflict.
A. to be signed B. signed C. having been signed D. being signed
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查动词不定式做后置定语。句意:据说在之后的会议上即将签署的议案将可以解决这一国际争端。bills与sign之间是被动关系,而且目前尚未签署,所以用动词不定式的被动式。故选A。

【45题详解】
考查名词辨析。句意:我在房主提供的篮子铺上松树枝,让鸟巢舒适。A. nuts坚果;B. trunks树干;C. weeds杂草;D. branches树枝。作者是给鸟类做巢,因此需要用到树枝,故选D。

【51题详解】

考查动词辨析。句意:小猫头鹰的父母找来了食物,放在鸟巢中,陪伴小猫头鹰的就是——午餐。A. covered覆盖;B. occupied占据;C. accompanied陪伴;D. placed放置。最后一段倒数第三句提到“I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active.”可知,作者开车过去看到经过一晚后,小猫头鹰看着非常的健康活泼,说明猫头鹰父母为小猫头鹰带来了食物,并且很好地照顾了它。故选C。
【55题详解】
考查名词辨析。句意:小猫头鹰父母尽到了自己的养育责任,并且很有可能会继续下去。A. homework家庭作业;B. right权力;C. dream梦想;D. part部分。do one’s part意为“尽自己的责任”。第二段提到“2-to-3-week-old owl”作者帮助的是一只2-3周的小猫头鹰,因此非常需要父母的照顾。同时,后一句提到“would probably continue to do so”,即猫头鹰父母也会继续承担养育小猫头鹰的责任。故选D。
【点睛】完形填空的解题技巧之一就是要根据上下文来学会“推理”出最佳选项。同学们要遵循“上下求索”的原则来查找信息。例如,第13小题要求是什么样的录音。该题可根据最后一段中的the greatest sight of all — LUNCH!可知,小猫头鹰处于一种饥饿的状态,它现在需要的是午餐。故选B.
还可以根据生活常识进行解答。比如:10小题判断放在篮子里的是什么,因为是在野外救助了一只小猫头鹰,而且一般鸟巢都是用干草和树枝搭建的,因此该空选D项。
第三部分:阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳 选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Huawei Technologies Co. displayed its much-anticipated in-house operating system Harmony OS on Friday, marking what some call the Chinese tech giant’s biggest push yet to build its own software ecosystem for the era of the internet of things.
The move is also expected to weaken the influence of the United States government’s restrictions on Huawei using Google’s Android operating system in smartphones, analysts said.
Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei’s consumer business group, speaking in Dongguan, Guangdong province, said it is difficult to deliver a smooth experience across different devices with the huge amount of codes involved in the Android and Linux operating systems. Linux is an open-source operating system widely used in personal computers and other hardware.
“Harmony is a next-generation operating system designed to address the challenge,” Yu said, adding that it will be able to support a wide range of application situations, including smart TVs, automobiles and wearables.
The internet of things refers to a network of devices and other objects that can connect with each other and exchange data.
Yu said the US government’s restrictions have accelerated the company’s marketing of the system, which now has about 4,000 employees working on it.
The senior executive said Harmony can be used in its smartphones. But Android is still Huawei’s preferred choice for handsets if the company is allowed to use it.
“But when Android is not available, Harmony can be applied immediately to smartphones. Harmony is ready,” Yu added.
Jia Mo, an analyst at market research company Canalys, said even if Huawei does not use Harmony in its smartphones in the short term, its smartwatches and smart TVs can be equipped with Harmony to widen its use and accumulate more experience in building an ecosystem.
“Also, more importantly, Huawei chose to build Harmony into an open-source operating system and allow it to be compatible with Android. Thus Harmony will be more accepted by current Android users. This will prevent Huawei from repeating the fate of Microsoft in promoting smartphone systems,” Jia said. Microsoft failed to popularize the use of its Windows system in smartphones years ago.
58. What is the significance of the Harmony OS?
A. It symbolizes Huawei has finished its own software ecosystem.
B. It may reduce the threat from US government’s restrictions.
C. It will accumulate more experience in building an ecosystem.
D. It successfully borrows from Microsoft's Windows system.
59. Which of the following may take the place of the underlined word “compatible” in the last paragraph?
A. Used harmoniously. B. Operated quickly.
C. Resisted fiercely. D. Monitored closely.
60. Where may we find this article?
A. Fashion magazines. B. TV interviews.
C. Historic documents. D. News websites.
【答案】58. B 59. A 60. D

这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了华为的鸿蒙系统的发布。此系统的发布还有望削弱美国政府对华为在智能手机中使用谷歌Android操作系统的限制。更重要的是,华为选择将鸿蒙系统构建为开源操作的系统,并允许它与Android系统兼容。这样就可以阻止华为重蹈微软在智能手机系统推广上的覆辙。
【58题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中The move is also expected to weaken the influence of the United States government’s restrictions on Huawei using Google’s Android operating system in smartphones, analysts said.可知,华为希望鸿蒙操作系统能够削弱来自美国政府禁止华为在智能手机里使用谷歌安卓系统的影响。故选B。
【59题详解】
词义猜测题。文中最后一段提到“Also, more importantly, Huawei chose to build Harmony into an open-source operating system and allow it to be compatible with Android. Thus Harmony will be easily accepted by current Android users.”可知,鸿蒙是一个开源操作系统,华为选择将鸿蒙安装在一个对各种资源开放的操作系统中,就是让它能够与安卓系统兼容。故选A。

C
Since we’ve headed into the snowy part of the year, it seems like a good time to solve a language puzzle that Eskimos have a huge number of words for snow. The idea was popularized by the now well-known expert Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s. His number was approximately five Eskimo words for snow, but somehow the story was so wide spread and romantic that it got out of control and grew bigger and bigger.
There are two problems with the concept of Eskimos having tons of words for snow.
First, Eskimos speak at least two different languages—Inuit and Yupik. Just as we have talked about how English and many other languages developed from a common language called Proto-Indo-European, Inuit and Yupik come from a different common language called Eskimo-Aleut. So saying Eskimos have 100 words for snow is like saying Europeans have 100 words for kings or queens. It might be telling you something broad about culture, but it isn’t really telling you much about language.
The second problem is “What is a word?” The Inuit and Yupik languages make words in different ways from how we make words in English. For example, the West Greenlandic word ‘siku,’ (sea ice), is used as the root for ‘sikursuit (pack ice),’ Sikuliaq (new ice), and ‘sikurluk’ (melting ice). But I’'s not that West Greenlandic has so many more words for describing snow than English, it’s just that West Greenlandic expresses ideas by combining meaningful units of language together into one word while English uses more phrases and compounds. We express all the same ideas; we just do it a little differently because of the way our language is built.
So you’re probably still wondering, “If it’s not 50 or 100 or 400 words, how many is it?” Well, Woodbury lists 15 that are present in a Yupik dictionary published in 1984, but he says that depending on how you look at it this is not an exact number. It could be 12; it could be 24. But it’s certainly not 100.
Sometimes, the “hundred words for snow” puzzle is used to argue that because Eskimos have so many words for snow, they think about snow in ways that we can’t even begin to imagine—that your language decides or limits your thoughts. Languages are just different. They don’t decide what we are able to think about or are not able to think about. I can think about snow floating on water even if we don’t have a word for that in English.
So when you’re out skiing or snowboarding or just shoveling your driveway this winter, don’t believe the people who try to tell you that Eskimos have 100 words for snow.
61. Why are Eskimos thought to have so many words for snow?
A. Because snow is everywhere where Eskimos live.
B. Because the story about it got enriched and believed.
C. Because snow is of great importance to Eskimos.
D. Because Eskimos have great affection for snow.
62. How does the writer explain the first problem?
A. By presenting figures. B. By making comparisons.
C. By quoting sayings. D. By adopting idioms.
63. The example of the west Greenlandic word ‘siku’ shows that ________.
A. the making of words varies from language to language
B. the Inuit and Yupik languages have more words for snow
C. the richness of words and phrases leads to different ideas
D. more phrases about snow are found in the English language
64. What conclusion can we safely draw from the last two paragraphs?
A. Eskimos better understand snow than other people.
B. Languages deeply influence people's ability to think.
C. There is no point counting Eskimo’s expressions for snow.
D. What comes into our mind is limited by our language.
【答案】61. B 62. B 63. A 64. C
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了爱斯基摩人描述雪的词语虽然多但并非传言中的100多个。出现这一想象的原因是1. 爱斯基摩人本身就说两种语言,不同的语言就会有不同的描述。2. 词汇方面的融合也使得他们有很多能描述雪的词语。
【61题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中His number was approximately five Eskimo words for snow, but somehow the story was so wide spread and romantic that it got out of control and grew bigger and bigger.可知,本身Benjamin Lee Whorf对于雪的词汇可能就只有5个,但是故事不断的传播,甚至带着浪漫主义气息,使得故事传播的越来越广泛,故事内容也越来越夸张。故选B。
【62题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Just as we have talked about how English and many other languages developed from a common language called Proto-Indo-European …”可知,作者将英语和从原始印欧语发展而来的其他语言进行了比较,由此可知采用了比较的方法。故选B。
【63题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段所述及最后一句总结性的句子We express all the same ideas; we just do it a little differently because of the way our language is built.可知,不同语言、不同词汇表达的都是同一个意思,唯一不同的是语言构建方式的不同而已。故选A。
【64题详解】
推理判断题。综合两段论述,作者认为词汇数量的多少并不能反映思想是否丰富,一味地纠结爱斯基摩人有关雪的词组有多少,是无意义的。倒数第二段第二句提到“Languages are just different. They don't decide what we are able to think about or are not able to think about.”语言都是不一样的,而且语言也决定不了我们能或不能想什么。最后一段最后一句也提到“don't believe the people who try to tell you that Eskimos have 100 words for snow.”不用相信那些想要告诉你爱斯基摩人有100种描述雪的词汇,即不用在意究竟有多少词。由此可知,词汇的多少并不影响思想,故选C。
D
In 1963, at age 65, my grandfather, Erwin, decided to build a new house. He wasn’t quite sure what to do with the old house since it sat where the new house would be. He finally hired a powerful vehicle to push it far out into a small group of trees. That old house sits there to this very day.
Erwin and his wife, Elida, passed away, and I purchased the farm from their estate. My wife and I raised our sons on this place and have lived here for more than 30 years. When we first moved in, my wife took one look at the deserted house and declared it a hidden danger. I agreed and planned on a large bonfire. But I thought it appropriate to check out the house first, just in case something of worth had been left behind.
I walked through the tall grass in the meadow where the old house sat. Time had worn it out. The entrance floor had fallen down on itself and most of the windows were gone. We entered through an open window. ① Here lay the reminders of my grandparents’ lives: a broken chair, some old clothes But the thing that drew my eye was a cardboard box stuffed with papers. I dug through its contents and was instantly transported back in time. There was a tax return from 1957. Greeting cards from old friends and relatives, now all dead and gone. An uncle’s third-grade spelling book. So sweet were the memories that the old house was spared the torch.
As we hurried through our lives, my visits grew infrequent. I might catch a glimpse of the house through the trees and remembered how, as a child, I would struggle to walk in my father’s footprints. Even then, I could imagine no nobler calling than farming, just like Dad. Then, one April morning, my father was felled by a massive heart attack, at age 68. The entire family was shocked by his passing, none more than me. Why I visited that old house on a day shortly after my father’s funeral is still beyond me. It was as though it were calling; even the trees seemed to whisper an invitation to come, to visit, to stay awhile.
② As I stood once again on that ancient floor, my eye was drawn to a pile of papers on the floor. An envelope, yellowed with age, lay on top. A blue stamp on the envelope read “Passed by Naval Censor”. How could I have missed this treasure? My father had served aboard the USS Washington during World War II and had written home whenever he could. My grandmother saved all of his letters.
I removed one letter carefully from its envelope. ③ It was dated September 1944. My father would have been somewhere in the South Pacific at that time and all of 18 years old. I studied the familiar handwriting. Dad wondered how the com harvest had been. He supposed that his youngest brother was starting first grade and imagined that he was becoming quite the little man. He asked his mother to greet everyone and said that he missed them all.
It wasn’t hard to read between the lines. Here was a homesick young man, a kid really, who had spent his entire life living upon a sea of flat land grass. Now he was on a different kind of sea, an ocean that was being disturbed by the thunder and the lightning of a world at war. At the bottom of the page, my father had passed on one last message. ④ Tears burned my eyes as I read those words he had so carefully emphasized: “All is well here. Please don’t worry. I am doing fine.”
As I left the old house that day, I took one last glance back at it over my shoulder. I don’t care what any one thinks, I decided. That old house gets to stay there until it rots into the earth.
65. Why did the writer visit the long forgotten house?
A. He had to ensure his family's safety.
B. There were some antiques inside.
C. He wanted to sort valuable stuff.
D. His wife asked him to check it out.
66. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 implies that ________.
A. the shabby house proved of great use
B. the house held his childhood memories
C. the writer could not erase grandpa’s past
D. the writer finally gave up the initial plan
67. Where does the following sentence fit in best?
“I felt as though I had stepped into a time capsule.”
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
68. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Father’s death caused a disaster to the writer’s family.
B. Father had a strong influence on the writer’s childhood.
C. The writer wanted to find Father's letters in the old house.
D. The house was totally forgotten by the writer's family.
69. During his serving in the US Navy, the writer’s father could be described as ________.
A. ambitious and energetic B. proud and patient
C. considerate and homesick D. confident and helpful
70. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Saving Grandpa’s Home B. Treasuring Old Stuff
C. Grandpa, Father and I D. Letters From Father
【答案】65. C 66. D 67. A 68. B 69. C 70. A
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章围绕着作者本来要烧毁祖父的老房子,但却在老房子里找到了父亲在外打仗期间写给家人的信,信里讲述了作者父亲对家人的关心以及流露出来的思乡之情,最后作者放弃了烧毁房子的计划。
【65题详解】
细节理解题。文中第二段提到作者和妻子决定烧毁老房子,但第二段最后一句提到“But I thought it appropriate to check out the house first, just in case something of worth had been left behind.”可知,作者想要先去房子里看看还有什么值钱的留下来,故选C。
【66题详解】
句意猜测题。第三段提到了许多与这个老房子相关的记忆,第二段中提到I agreed and planned on a large bonfire.可知,作者在来老房子之前想要烧掉老房子,而在看过老房子之后才发现,老房子承载着美好的回忆,于是作者放弃了烧毁它的计划。故选D。
【67题详解】
推理判断题。第三段We entered through an open window.表明作者进入了房子,后面一句提到Here lay the reminders of my grandparents’ lives房子里都是有关爷爷的东西,感觉一下就把作者从现在拉回到了过去,就像是进入了时空舱一样,①符合。故选A。
【68题详解】
推理判断题。这一段讲述了父亲对作者的深厚影响。第四段第三、四句提到“The entire family was shocked by his passing, none more than me”,作者父亲在六十八岁时因为心脏病去世,整个家庭都非常的震惊,但谁也没有作者那么难过,说明作者与父亲之间的感情非常的深厚。故选B。
【69题详解】
细节理解题。第六、七段提“He asked his mother to greet everyone and said that he missed them all. Here was a homesick young man, he had so carefully emphasized: “All is well here. Please don’t worry. I am doing fine.”可知,作者父亲在信中关心了自己的弟弟,叫妈妈代自己向大家问好,字里行间都让家人不要担心自己,由此可见父亲信中对家人的关心以及流露出来的思乡之情。故选C。
【70题详解】
主旨大意题。文中第二段提到“I agreed and planned on a large bonfire. ”作者本来准备要把老房子烧掉的,但在老房子中发现了父亲对这个家浓浓的爱,由此产生了深刻的羁绊,在最后一段中作者提到That old house gets to stay there until it rots into the earth.要让老房子一直待在那里,直到与世界交融在一起,说明作者最后是保留了老房子,即拯救了老房子。故选A。
第四部分:任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分W分)
请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 注意:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。
A psychotherapist once taught me a little trick that helped me feel less angry at my partner and less sad about the failings of our relationship.
She said, "Look at him and imagine him as a very little boy; that way, you separate yourself somewhat from the adult, and you are likely to understand and forgive him."
It actually helped. I couldn't be as mad at or disappointed by a child as I could be with a grown man. So, at least on some occasions, we were both spared the heartache of an uncomfortable silence or a not-so-silent argument. And I sometimes still use versions of that trick whenever I feel frustrated or angry in other relationships or personal exchanges.
But what if you could mentally change the form of the emotion itself? According to scientists at the University of Texas, maybe you can.
Focusing specifically on sadness, the researchers asked two groups of study participants to write about a time in their lives when they felt very sad. They then asked one group to imagine sadness as a person, and write down a description of the person they imagined would be sadness. Not surprisingly, the participants described sadness in such ways as an older person with gray hair and sunken eyes or a young girl holding her head down as she slowly walked along.
The researchers asked the other group of participants to write down a description of sadness with respect to its impact on their moods. When asked to rate their levels of sadness after completing their descriptions, the participants who wrote about the emotion itself and how it affects them reported higher levels of sadness than the group that anthropomorphized (人格化)sadness into a specific type of person with familiar human characteristics. The researchers suggest that by giving life to the emotion, participants can view sadness as something (or someone) separate and somewhat distant from themselves, helping them relieve their negative feelings.
While it's okay to feel sad, many people behave in unconscious and sometimes self-destructive ways to distract or "save" themselves when they are consumed by negative emotions. So in the study authors wanted to know whether or not the group that reported feeling less sad would make smarter shopping decisions.
They tested this by asking participants in both groups to first choose between a salad or a cheesecake dessert to go with the main dish they were having for lunch. The researchers also asked participants to choose between a computer loaded with features for productivity or a computer loaded with features for entertainment. Those study participants who had anthropomorphized their emotions were more likely to choose the salad and the productive computer than those who had simply written about their feelings.
For obvious reasons, then, they say this technique is best for reduce negative emotions.

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了缓解悲伤情绪的方法——将悲伤的情绪具体化,但要将悲伤的情绪与相应的人分割开。同时文章中还介绍了一些实验,要求实验对象将自己悲伤的情绪想象成一个人,并赋予这个“人”以生命,从而达到减轻悲伤情绪的目的。
【71题详解】
文中第一段提到“a little trick that helped me feel less angry at my partner and less sad about the failings of our relationship.”心理治疗师告诉了作者一个帮助自己对父母不那么生气以及对关系不那么难过的方法。文章第一段为主旨段,提取关键词less。在做文章标题时应注意大写。故填Less。

73题详解】
第三段we were both spared the heartache of an uncomfortable silence or a not-so-silent argument. 可知。我们都可以免于一个不舒服沉默带来的心痛或不那么沉默带来的争论。be spared of意为幸免于,即对双方都有好处或益处。故填beneficial/helpful。
【74题详解】
第五段提到Not surprisingly, the participants described sadness in such ways 可知,毫无意外的是,参与者用那样的方式描述了悲伤。Not surprisingly=It is no surprise that。故填surprise。
【75题详解】
第六段提到the participants who wrote about the emotion itself --- reported higher level of sadness than --描述情绪本身的参与者有着更高层次的悲伤,因此与之相对应的,将悲伤描述成一个人的,悲伤的层次较低。故填lower。
【76题详解】
倒数第二段Those study participants who had anthropomorphized their emotions were more likely to choose the salad and the productive computer than those who had simply written about their feelings.接受了心理治疗的参与者更有可能选择沙拉作为作为主菜,且会选择装有工具性软件的电脑,说明心理治疗会对参与者造成影响,故填affect/influence/impact。
【77题详解】
倒数第三段提到While it's okay to feel sad, many people behave in unconscious and--可知。当沉浸在悲伤里时,很多人就会表现的无意识,即失去了对自己的控制。故先control。
【78题详解】
根据anthropomorphized一词,及第六段最后一句提到The researchers suggest that by giving life to the emotion, participants can view sadness as something (or someone) separate and somewhat distant from themselves, helping them relieve their negative feelings.通过将情绪赋予生命,参与者可以将悲伤从别的事情中分离开来,帮助他们减少负面情绪。故填life。
【79题详解】
由倒数第二段choose between a salad or a cheesecake dessert 可知,这些都是高甜、高热量的食物,故填rich/high/abundant。
【80题详解】
最后一段提到For obvious reasons, then, they say this technique is best for reduce negative emotions.这样的方式是减低负面情绪最好的方法。最后一段是对整篇文章的归纳总结,故填Conclusion。

China to promote garbage classification
Updated: Mar 30, 2017 5:47 PM english.gov.cn
The State Council issued a plan to promote garbage classification on March 30, setting a goal for the recycling rate in cities where household garbage is sorted to reach 35 percent by 2020.The first batch of cities that are required to sort garbage by 2020 include Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Chongqing and all capitals of provincial regions. They need to release their own regulations on related issues by the end of this year.
Beijing to enforce stricter garbage sorting rules
Xinhua | Updated: 2019-05-30 00:42
BEIJING — Beijing will introduce mandatory garbage sorting rules at schools, hospitals, office buildings, tourist attractions and hotels,
Major progress has been achieved in garbage sorting in Beijing, said Zhang Jiaming, the city's deputy mayor .However, it will still take some efforts to develop the habit of sorting waste for residents in Beijing.
Shanghai to realize household garbage classification by 2020

【答案】 Confronted with the growing garbage output and worsening environment, Chinese government spares no effort to carry out the policy of garbage classification. Major cities such as Beijing and Shanghai have taken action.
In my opinion, the new policy has brought with it a variety of benefits, compared with the traditional way of collecting waste. Firstly, garbage classification ensures an easy and economical way to deal with waste. The sorted waste saves time for the recycling process and can be transformed into useful stuff more effectively. Secondly, it reduces the workload of garbage workers because waste from people’s daily life will be classified and collected in different dustbins. Besides, this new policy raises people’s awareness of environmental protection, which guarantees the cleanness and tidiness of our environment.
Garbage classification policy reflects a determined attitude towards garbage treatment and marks a giant step forward to fight pollution. Therefore, it should be supported and strengthened.

这是一篇议论文写作。阅读文章后可知,这是三篇关于全国范围内及北京和上海地区实行垃圾分类的新闻报道。由此要针对这两篇报道进行30字左右概要总结,另要针对报道内容阐述自己的观点、态度等,字数在120字左右。
【详解】归纳总结段。根据第一篇新闻的标题可以判断出,垃圾分类这一制度将在全国范围内进行,第二篇新闻介绍了北京在垃圾分类做出的努力,并要继续加大实施力度,第三篇则介绍了上海实施垃圾分类的最终日期。这三篇新闻由大到小范围的介绍了垃圾分类实施的进度及力度。
观点陈述段。垃圾分类是目前讨论热度较高的话题,这关系到亿万人赖以生存的环境,对应着环保主题的写作。因此首先要肯定实行垃圾分类制度的好处,即陈述自己的观点。其次针对自己的观点具体表明有哪些益处,如垃圾分类是一种简单、经济的垃圾处理方式,前期垃圾分类能减轻环卫工作者的工作强度,体现了人性化的工作方式,垃圾分类还能提高人们对于环境保护方面的意识。最后,再此重申自己的观点,升华主题即可。
【点睛】文章条理清晰,逻辑思维严谨,观点表述清楚,是一篇比较优秀的应试作文。文章采取了比较规范的三段式结构,第一段总结内容,第二段陈述观点,第三段升华主题。第一段中背景提取非常的准确“Confronted with the growing garbage output and worsening environment”垃圾数量增多、坏境污染严重等问题,是实施垃圾分类的大背景,很好的总结了第一篇新闻的内容。同时,该句使用了过去分词短语作原因状语,增加了文章句型的丰富性。使用了高频短语spares no effort to“毫不余力做…”。第二段中观点表述非常明确,运用了议论文写作中常用短语“In my opinion In my opinion, Firstly, Secondly, Besides, ”,一条条的表明观点,此结构经常用于议论文写作,可以积累。高频词组有:a variety of大量的,deal with处理、解决,raises people’s awareness of引起人们的重视。同时,第二段最后一句“this new policy raises people’s awareness of environmental protection, which guarantees the cleanness and tidiness of our environment.”还使用了非限制性定语从句,提高了句型的多样性。第三段则再次重申了观点,使得文章结构更加完整。

【点睛】当“only+状语”位于句首时,后面的句子要用部分倒装,其中only后的状语可以是副词、介词短语、从句等。但在only后作状语的是从句时,从句不用倒装,要部分倒装的是主句。
32.It is said that the bills ________ at the coming session will address the international conflict.

【点睛】完形填空的解题技巧之一就是要根据上下文来学会“推理”出最佳选项。同学们要遵循“上下求索”的原则来查找信息。例如,第13小题要求是什么样的录音。该题可根据最后一段中的the greatest sight of all — LUNCH!可知,小猫头鹰处于一种饥饿的状态,它现在需要的是午餐。故选B.
还可以根据生活常识进行解答。比如:10小题判断放在篮子里的是什么,因为是在野外救助了一只小猫头鹰,而且一般鸟巢都是用干草和树枝搭建的,因此该空选D项。
第三部分:阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)

Huawei Technologies Co. displayed its much-anticipated in-house operating system Harmony OS on Friday, marking what some call the Chinese tech giant’s biggest push yet to build its own software ecosystem for the era of the internet of things.
The move is also expected to weaken the influence of the United States government’s restrictions on Huawei using Google’s Android operating system in smartphones, analysts said.
Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei’s consumer business group, speaking in Dongguan, Guangdong province, said it is difficult to deliver a smooth experience across different devices with the huge amount of codes involved in the Android and Linux operating systems. Linux is an open-source operating system widely used in personal computers and other hardware.
“Harmony is a next-generation operating system designed to address the challenge,” Yu said, adding that it will be able to support a wide range of application situations, including smart TVs, automobiles and wearables.
The internet of things refers to a network of devices and other objects that can connect with each other and exchange data.
Yu said the US government’s restrictions have accelerated the company’s marketing of the system, which now has about 4,000 employees working on it.
The senior executive said Harmony can be used in its smartphones. But Android is still Huawei’s preferred choice for handsets if the company is allowed to use it.
“But when Android is not available, Harmony can be applied immediately to smartphones. Harmony is ready,” Yu added.
Jia Mo, an analyst at market research company Canalys, said even if Huawei does not use Harmony in its smartphones in the short term, its smartwatches and smart TVs can be equipped with Harmony to widen its use and accumulate more experience in building an ecosystem.
“Also, more importantly, Huawei chose to build Harmony into an open-source operating system and allow it to be compatible with Android. Thus Harmony will be more accepted by current Android users. This will prevent Huawei from repeating the fate of Microsoft in promoting smartphone systems,” Jia said. Microsoft failed to popularize the use of its Windows system in smartphones years ago.
58. What is the significance of the Harmony OS?
A. It symbolizes Huawei has finished its own software ecosystem.
B. It may reduce the threat from US government’s restrictions.
C. It will accumulate more experience in building an ecosystem.
D. It successfully borrows from Microsoft's Windows system.
59. Which of the following may take the place of the underlined word “compatible” in the last paragraph?
A. Used harmoniously. B. Operated quickly.
C. Resisted fiercely. D. Monitored closely.
60. Where may we find this article?
A. Fashion magazines. B. TV interviews.
C. Historic documents. D. News websites.
【答案】58. B 59. A 60. D
【解析】
这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了华为的鸿蒙系统的发布。此系统的发布还有望削弱美国政府对华为在智能手机中使用谷歌Android操作系统的限制。更重要的是,华为选择将鸿蒙系统构建为开源操作的系统,并允许它与Android系统兼容。这样就可以阻止华为重蹈微软在智能手机系统推广上的覆辙。
【58题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中The move is also expected to weaken the influence of the United States government’s restrictions on Huawei using Google’s Android operating system in smartphones, analysts said.可知,华为希望鸿蒙操作系统能够削弱来自美国政府禁止华为在智能手机里使用谷歌安卓系统的影响。故选B。
【59题详解】
词义猜测题。文中最后一段提到“Also, more importantly, Huawei chose to build Harmony into an open-source operating system and allow it to be compatible with Android. Thus Harmony will be easily accepted by current Android users.”可知,鸿蒙是一个开源操作系统,华为选择将鸿蒙安装在一个对各种资源开放的操作系统中,就是让它能够与安卓系统兼容。故选A。
【60题详解】
推理判断题。这篇文章讲述的不是时尚、学术或科学问题,它的文体属于新闻,所以可以在新闻网站上找到。A. Fashion magazines.时尚杂志,B. TV interviews.电视采访,C. Historic documents.历史文件,D. News websites.新闻网站。故选D。
C
Since we’ve headed into the snowy part of the year, it seems like a good time to solve a language puzzle that Eskimos have a huge number of words for snow. The idea was popularized by the now well-known expert Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s. His number was approximately five Eskimo words for snow, but somehow the story was so wide spread and romantic that it got out of control and grew bigger and bigger.
There are two problems with the concept of Eskimos having tons of words for snow.
First, Eskimos speak at least two different languages—Inuit and Yupik. Just as we have talked about how English and many other languages developed from a common language called Proto-Indo-European, Inuit and Yupik come from a different common language called Eskimo-Aleut. So saying Eskimos have 100 words for snow is like saying Europeans have 100 words for kings or queens. It might be telling you something broad about culture, but it isn’t really telling you much about language.
The second problem is “What is a word?” The Inuit and Yupik languages make words in different ways from how we make words in English. For example, the West Greenlandic word ‘siku,’ (sea ice), is used as the root for ‘sikursuit (pack ice),’ Sikuliaq (new ice), and ‘sikurluk’ (melting ice). But I’'s not that West Greenlandic has so many more words for describing snow than English, it’s just that West Greenlandic expresses ideas by combining meaningful units of language together into one word while English uses more phrases and compounds. We express all the same ideas; we just do it a little differently because of the way our language is built.
So you’re probably still wondering, “If it’s not 50 or 100 or 400 words, how many is it?” Well, Woodbury lists 15 that are present in a Yupik dictionary published in 1984, but he says that depending on how you look at it this is not an exact number. It could be 12; it could be 24. But it’s certainly not 100.
Sometimes, the “hundred words for snow” puzzle is used to argue that because Eskimos have so many words for snow, they think about snow in ways that we can’t even begin to imagine—that your language decides or limits your thoughts. Languages are just different. They don’t decide what we are able to think about or are not able to think about. I can think about snow floating on water even if we don’t have a word for that in English.
So when you’re out skiing or snowboarding or just shoveling your driveway this winter, don’t believe the people who try to tell you that Eskimos have 100 words for snow.
61. Why are Eskimos thought to have so many words for snow?
A. Because snow is everywhere where Eskimos live.
B. Because the story about it got enriched and believed.
C. Because snow is of great importance to Eskimos.
D. Because Eskimos have great affection for snow.

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了爱斯基摩人描述雪的词语虽然多但并非传言中的100多个。出现这一想象的原因是1. 爱斯基摩人本身就说两种语言,不同的语言就会有不同的描述。2. 词汇方面的融合也使得他们有很多能描述雪的词语。
【61题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中His number was approximately five Eskimo words for snow, but somehow the story was so wide spread and romantic that it got out of control and grew bigger and bigger.可知,本身Benjamin Lee Whorf对于雪的词汇可能就只有5个,但是故事不断的传播,甚至带着浪漫主义气息,使得故事传播的越来越广泛,故事内容也越来越夸张。故选B。
【62题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Just as we have talked about how English and many other languages developed from a common language called Proto-Indo-European …”可知,作者将英语和从原始印欧语发展而来的其他语言进行了比较,由此可知采用了比较的方法。故选B。
【63题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段所述及最后一句总结性的句子We express all the same ideas; we just do it a little differently because of the way our language is built.可知,不同语言、不同词汇表达的都是同一个意思,唯一不同的是语言构建方式的不同而已。故选A。
【64题详解】
推理判断题。综合两段论述,作者认为词汇数量的多少并不能反映思想是否丰富,一味地纠结爱斯基摩人有关雪的词组有多少,是无意义的。倒数第二段第二句提到“Languages are just different. They don't decide what we are able to think about or are not able to think about.”语言都是不一样的,而且语言也决定不了我们能或不能想什么。最后一段最后一句也提到“don't believe the people who try to tell you that Eskimos have 100 words for snow.”不用相信那些想要告诉你爱斯基摩人有100种描述雪的词汇,即不用在意究竟有多少词。由此可知,词汇的多少并不影响思想,故选C。
D
In 1963, at age 65, my grandfather, Erwin, decided to build a new house. He wasn’t quite sure what to do with the old house since it sat where the new house would be. He finally hired a powerful vehicle to push it far out into a small group of trees. That old house sits there to this very day.
Erwin and his wife, Elida, passed away, and I purchased the farm from their estate. My wife and I raised our sons on this place and have lived here for more than 30 years. When we first moved in, my wife took one look at the deserted house and declared it a hidden danger. I agreed and planned on a large bonfire. But I thought it appropriate to check out the house first, just in case something of worth had been left behind.
I walked through the tall grass in the meadow where the old house sat. Time had worn it out. The entrance floor had fallen down on itself and most of the windows were gone. We entered through an open window. ① Here lay the reminders of my grandparents’ lives: a broken chair, some old clothes But the thing that drew my eye was a cardboard box stuffed with papers. I dug through its contents and was instantly transported back in time. There was a tax return from 1957. Greeting cards from old friends and relatives, now all dead and gone. An uncle’s third-grade spelling book. So sweet were the memories that the old house was spared the torch.
As we hurried through our lives, my visits grew infrequent. I might catch a glimpse of the house through the trees and remembered how, as a child, I would struggle to walk in my father’s footprints. Even then, I could imagine no nobler calling than farming, just like Dad. Then, one April morning, my father was felled by a massive heart attack, at age 68. The entire family was shocked by his passing, none more than me. Why I visited that old house on a day shortly after my father’s funeral is still beyond me. It was as though it were calling; even the trees seemed to whisper an invitation to come, to visit, to stay awhile.
② As I stood once again on that ancient floor, my eye was drawn to a pile of papers on the floor. An envelope, yellowed with age, lay on top. A blue stamp on the envelope read “Passed by Naval Censor”. How could I have missed this treasure? My father had served aboard the USS Washington during World War II and had written home whenever he could. My grandmother saved all of his letters.
I removed one letter carefully from its envelope. ③ It was dated September 1944. My father would have been somewhere in the South Pacific at that time and all of 18 years old. I studied the familiar handwriting. Dad wondered how the com harvest had been. He supposed that his youngest brother was starting first grade and imagined that he was becoming quite the little man. He asked his mother to greet everyone and said that he missed them all.
It wasn’t hard to read between the lines. Here was a homesick young man, a kid really, who had spent his entire life living upon a sea of flat land grass. Now he was on a different kind of sea, an ocean that was being disturbed by the thunder and the lightning of a world at war. At the bottom of the page, my father had passed on one last message. ④ Tears burned my eyes as I read those words he had so carefully emphasized: “All is well here. Please don’t worry. I am doing fine.”
As I left the old house that day, I took one last glance back at it over my shoulder. I don’t care what any one thinks, I decided. That old house gets to stay there until it rots into the earth.
65. Why did the writer visit the long forgotten house?
A. He had to ensure his family's safety.
B. There were some antiques inside.
C. He wanted to sort valuable stuff.
D. His wife asked him to check it out.
66. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 implies that ________.
A. the shabby house proved of great use
B. the house held his childhood memories
C. the writer could not erase grandpa’s past
D. the writer finally gave up the initial plan
67. Where does the following sentence fit in best?
“I felt as though I had stepped into a time capsule.”
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
68. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Father’s death caused a disaster to the writer’s family.
B. Father had a strong influence on the writer’s childhood.
C. The writer wanted to find Father's letters in the old house.
D. The house was totally forgotten by the writer's family.
69. During his serving in the US Navy, the writer’s father could be described as ________.
A. ambitious and energetic B. proud and patient
C. considerate and homesick D. confident and helpful
70. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Saving Grandpa’s Home B. Treasuring Old Stuff
C. Grandpa, Father and I D. Letters From Father
【答案】65. C 66. D 67. A 68. B 69. C 70. A

【65题详解】
细节理解题。文中第二段提到作者和妻子决定烧毁老房子,但第二段最后一句提到“But I thought it appropriate to check out the house first, just in case something of worth had been left behind.”可知,作者想要先去房子里看看还有什么值钱的留下来,故选C。
【66题详解】
句意猜测题。第三段提到了许多与这个老房子相关的记忆,第二段中提到I agreed and planned on a large bonfire.可知,作者在来老房子之前想要烧掉老房子,而在看过老房子之后才发现,老房子承载着美好的回忆,于是作者放弃了烧毁它的计划。故选D。
【67题详解】
推理判断题。第三段We entered through an open window.表明作者进入了房子,后面一句提到Here lay the reminders of my grandparents’ lives房子里都是有关爷爷的东西,感觉一下就把作者从现在拉回到了过去,就像是进入了时空舱一样,①符合。故选A。

细节理解题。第六、七段提“He asked his mother to greet everyone and said that he missed them all. Here was a homesick young man, he had so carefully emphasized: “All is well here. Please don’t worry. I am doing fine.”可知,作者父亲在信中关心了自己的弟弟,叫妈妈代自己向大家问好,字里行间都让家人不要担心自己,由此可见父亲信中对家人的关心以及流露出来的思乡之情。故选C。
【70题详解】
主旨大意题。文中第二段提到“I agreed and planned on a large bonfire. ”作者本来准备要把老房子烧掉的,但在老房子中发现了父亲对这个家浓浓的爱,由此产生了深刻的羁绊,在最后一段中作者提到That old house gets to stay there until it rots into the earth.要让老房子一直待在那里,直到与世界交融在一起,说明作者最后是保留了老房子,即拯救了老房子。故选A。
第四部分:任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分W分)
请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 注意:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。
A psychotherapist once taught me a little trick that helped me feel less angry at my partner and less sad about the failings of our relationship.
She said, "Look at him and imagine him as a very little boy; that way, you separate yourself somewhat from the adult, and you are likely to understand and forgive him."
It actually helped. I couldn't be as mad at or disappointed by a child as I could be with a grown man. So, at least on some occasions, we were both spared the heartache of an uncomfortable silence or a not-so-silent argument. And I sometimes still use versions of that trick whenever I feel frustrated or angry in other relationships or personal exchanges.
But what if you could mentally change the form of the emotion itself? According to scientists at the University of Texas, maybe you can.
Focusing specifically on sadness, the researchers asked two groups of study participants to write about a time in their lives when they felt very sad. They then asked one group to imagine sadness as a person, and write down a description of the person they imagined would be sadness. Not surprisingly, the participants described sadness in such ways as an older person with gray hair and sunken eyes or a young girl holding her head down as she slowly walked along.
The researchers asked the other group of participants to write down a description of sadness with respect to its impact on their moods. When asked to rate their levels of sadness after completing their descriptions, the participants who wrote about the emotion itself and how it affects them reported higher levels of sadness than the group that anthropomorphized (人格化)sadness into a specific type of person with familiar human characteristics. The researchers suggest that by giving life to the emotion, participants can view sadness as something (or someone) separate and somewhat distant from themselves, helping them relieve their negative feelings.
While it's okay to feel sad, many people behave in unconscious and sometimes self-destructive ways to distract or "save" themselves when they are consumed by negative emotions. So in the study authors wanted to know whether or not the group that reported feeling less sad would make smarter shopping decisions.
They tested this by asking participants in both groups to first choose between a salad or a cheesecake dessert to go with the main dish they were having for lunch. The researchers also asked participants to choose between a computer loaded with features for productivity or a computer loaded with features for entertainment. Those study participants who had anthropomorphized their emotions were more likely to choose the salad and the productive computer than those who had simply written about their feelings.
For obvious reasons, then, they say this technique is best for reduce negative emotions.

【答案】 Confronted with the growing garbage output and worsening environment, Chinese government spares no effort to carry out the policy of garbage classification. Major cities such as Beijing and Shanghai have taken action.
In my opinion, the new policy has brought with it a variety of benefits, compared with the traditional way of collecting waste. Firstly, garbage classification ensures an easy and economical way to deal with waste. The sorted waste saves time for the recycling process and can be transformed into useful stuff more effectively. Secondly, it reduces the workload of garbage workers because waste from people’s daily life will be classified and collected in different dustbins. Besides, this new policy raises people’s awareness of environmental protection, which guarantees the cleanness and tidiness of our environment.
Garbage classification policy reflects a determined attitude towards garbage treatment and marks a giant step forward to fight pollution. Therefore, it should be supported and strengthened.

这是一篇议论文写作。阅读文章后可知,这是三篇关于全国范围内及北京和上海地区实行垃圾分类的新闻报道。由此要针对这两篇报道进行30字左右概要总结,另要针对报道内容阐述自己的观点、态度等,字数在120字左右。
【详解】归纳总结段。根据第一篇新闻的标题可以判断出,垃圾分类这一制度将在全国范围内进行,第二篇新闻介绍了北京在垃圾分类做出的努力,并要继续加大实施力度,第三篇则介绍了上海实施垃圾分类的最终日期。这三篇新闻由大到小范围的介绍了垃圾分类实施的进度及力度。
观点陈述段。垃圾分类是目前讨论热度较高的话题,这关系到亿万人赖以生存的环境,对应着环保主题的写作。因此首先要肯定实行垃圾分类制度的好处,即陈述自己的观点。其次针对自己的观点具体表明有哪些益处,如垃圾分类是一种简单、经济的垃圾处理方式,前期垃圾分类能减轻环卫工作者的工作强度,体现了人性化的工作方式,垃圾分类还能提高人们对于环境保护方面的意识。最后,再此重申自己的观点,升华主题即可。
【点睛】文章条理清晰,逻辑思维严谨,观点表述清楚,是一篇比较优秀的应试作文。文章采取了比较规范的三段式结构,第一段总结内容,第二段陈述观点,第三段升华主题。第一段中背景提取非常的准确“Confronted with the growing garbage output and worsening environment”垃圾数量增多、坏境污染严重等问题,是实施垃圾分类的大背景,很好的总结了第一篇新闻的内容。同时,该句使用了过去分词短语作原因状语,增加了文章句型的丰富性。使用了高频短语spares no effort to“毫不余力做…”。第二段中观点表述非常明确,运用了议论文写作中常用短语“In my opinion In my opinion, Firstly, Secondly, Besides, ”,一条条的表明观点,此结构经常用于议论文写作,可以积累。高频词组有:a variety of大量的,deal with处理、解决,raises people’s awareness of引起人们的重视。同时,第二段最后一句“this new policy raises people’s awareness of environmental protection, which guarantees the cleanness and tidiness of our environment.”还使用了非限制性定语从句,提高了句型的多样性。第三段则再次重申了观点,使得文章结构更加完整。
