一、阅读理解。
“How do you account_for your remarkable achievements in life?”Queen Victoria of the UK asked Helen Keller.“How do you explain the fact that even though you were both blind and deaf,you were able to achieve so much?”
Ms.Keller's answer is a tribute(致敬)to her kind teacher.“If it had not been for Anne Sullivan,the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.”
According to American speaker Zig Ziglar,Anne Sullivan was no stranger to hardship.She was almost sightless and was,at one time,diagnosed as hopelessly“insane” by her caregivers.She was locked in the basement of a mental institution.Occasionally,Anne would violently attack anyone who came near.Most of the time she generally ignored everyone in her presence.
An elderly nurse believed there was hope,however,and she made it her work to show love to the child.Every day she visited Anne,and she left cookies for her and spoke words of love and encouragement.She believed Anne could recover,if only she were shown love.
Eventually,doctors noticed the change in the girl.Where they once witnessed anger and hate,they now noted gentleness and love.They moved her upstairs where she continued to improve.Then the day finally came when this seemingly “hopeless”child was released.
Anne Sullivan grew into a young woman with a desire to help others as she,herself,was helped by the kind nurse.It was she who saw the great potential in Helen Keller.She loved her,disciplined(管教)her, played with her, pushed her and worked with her until the flickering candle that was her life became a beacon(灯塔)of light to the world.Anne Sullivan worked wonders in Helen's life;but it was a loving nurse who first believed in little Anne and lovingly transformed an uncommunicative child into a kind teacher.
“If it had not been for Anne Sullivan,the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.”But if it had not been for a kind and dedicated nurse,the name of Anne Sullivan would have remained unknown.
1.What does the underlined part“account for”in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.show B.prove
C.explain D.present
7
2.What do we know from the third paragraph?
A.Anne Sullivan had very normal behavior.
B.Anne Sullivan was ignored by everyone.
C.Anne Sullivan was kept away from her parents.
D.Anne Sullivan was believed to have a mental problem.
3.What would be the best title for the text?
A.The Power of Love
B.Making a Difference
C.A Good Teacher
D.Remarkable Achievements
【解题导语】本文主要介绍了一个有奉献精神的护士用自己的爱挽救了海伦·凯勒的老师Anne Sullivan,而她又成就了伟大的海伦·凯勒的故事。
【难句分析】Anne Sullivan worked wonders in Helen's life;but it was a loving nurse who first believed in little Anne and lovingly transformed an uncommunicative child into a kind teacher.
分析:本句中it was...who...是强调句,强调的部分是“a loving nurse” ,transform...into...意为“把……变成了……”。
译文:Anne Sullivan在海伦的生命中创造了奇迹,但是正是富有爱心的护士第一次相信小安妮,并慈爱地把一个寡言少语的小孩变成了一个亲切的老师。
1.C 考查词义猜测。根据第一段最后一句“‘How do you explain the fact that even though you were both blind and deaf, you were able to achieve so much?’”,并结合第一句的语境可推知,account for与explain同义,故选C。
2.D 考查细节理解。根据第三段第二句和第三句“She was almost sightless and was,at one time,diagnosed as hopelessly‘insane’by her caregivers.She was locked in the basement of a mental institution”,并结合对本段的整体理解可推知,当时人们认为Anne Sullivan患有精神疾病,故选D。A项表示Anne Sullivan的行为非常正常,这与第三段倒数第二句“Occasionally, Anne would violently attack anyone who came near”相悖;B项表示Anne Sullivan被大家都忽略了,这与下文中提到的护士对她的关爱不符;C项表示Anne Sullivan远离她的父母,文章中并没有提到,故排除。
3.A 考查标题判断。根据全文尤其是对文章最后一段的整体理解可知,如果没有Anne Sullivan,海伦·凯勒就不会为人所知;如果没有那个富有爱心的护士,Anne Sullivan也不会被人知晓,这些都体现了爱的力量,故选A。
二、阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

(2017·四川绵阳高中诊断性考试)Many teachers believe that handson experience is the 61.____________(good) way to learn.A group of students in the United States are putting that belief to the test.They 62.____________(success) designed and built a robot for discovering unexplored mines 63.____________ the bottom of the sea.Students made the robot 64.____________(answer) a challenge from the U.S.Department of Defense.
The students recently tested the underwater vehicle 65.____________(call) Perseus Ⅱ in a 95meterlong tank of water at the Stevens Institute of Technology.
The robot costs about $15,000 to build.The students use a video game control to direct 66.____________(it) movements in the tank.What’s more, devices known as Japters 67.____________ (able) the robot to go up, down and toward its target in the water.Video cameras on the robot send images back to a computer through a 13meterlong cable.Perseus Ⅱ also has 68.____________ set of lasers(激光), which are used to measure the size of an object.
The robot is the creation of five undergraduate students.For over six months, they worked up 69.____________ 20 hours a week to design and build Perseus Ⅱ.
DeLorme supervised the project from 70.____________ (begin) to end.He says the specialized requirements of robots were demanding.
【解题导语】 本文通过事实证明:亲身的实践经验是学习的最好方法。
61.best 解析:考查形容词最高级。此处表示“亲身的实践经验是学习的最好方法”,故用best。
62.successfully 解析:考查副词。副词修饰动词designed和built作状语,故用successfully。
63.at 解析:考查介词。at the bottom of表示“在……的底部”,故用at。
64.to answer 解析:考查非谓语动词。在这里to answer是动词不定式作目的状语,表示 “制造这个机器人是为了回应美国国防部的一项挑战”。
65.called 解析:考查非谓语动词。此处应用过去分词作后置定语,表示 “被叫作”,故用called。
66.its 解析:考查代词。由后面的movements可知,应用形容词性物主代词作定语。
67.enable 解析:考查动词和时态。分析句子结构可知,主语是devices,谓语是设空处,故应用动词enable,表示 “使能够”。且此处是一般性的描述,故应用一般现在时。
68.a 解析:考查冠词。a set of表示“一系列”,故用a。
69.to 解析:考查固定短语。up to表示“达到”,故用to。
7
70.beginning 解析:考查固定短语。from beginning to end表示“从头到尾”。
三、短文改错。
假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧),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:在错的词下画一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词。
注意:1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词;
2.只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分。

四、七选五。
While you are travelling abroad, cultural mistakes are more serious than linguistic mistakes, which can lead to serious misunderstanding and even ill feeling between individuals. 1.___________
·Touching Someone
2.___________ In Mediterranean countries, if you don’t touch someone’s arm when talking to them or if you don’t greet them with kisses or a warm hug, you’ll be considered cold. But backslap(拍背) someone who isn’t a family member or a good friend in Korea, and you’ll make them uncomfortable. In Thailand, the head is considered sacred—never even pat a child on the head.
·Talking over Dinner
In some countries, like China, Japan and some African nations, the food is the thing, so don’t start chatting about your day’s adventures while everyone else is digging into dinner.
3.___________ It’s not because your group is unfriendly, but because mealtimes are for eating, not talking.
·Removing Your Shoes or Not
Take off your shoes when arriving at the door of a London dinner party and the hostess will find you uncivilized, but fail to remove your shoes before entering a home in Asia, Hawaii, or the Pacific Islands and you’ll be considered disrespectful. So, if you see a row of shoes at the door, start undoing your laces. 4.___________
Once you are on the ground of a different country, remain highly sensitive to native behavior. 5.___________ And don’t feel offended if something seems offensive—like queue jumping. After all, this is a global village, and we are all very different.
A.Personal space varies as you travel the globe.
B.Asians consider removing shoes impolite at home.
C.Never be completely surprised by anything.
D.The linguistic mistake means that someone is not fully expressing his idea.
E.Look out for the following cultural mistakes and try to avoid them.
F.If not, keep the shoes on.
G.You’ll likely be met with silence.

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文,讲述了一些出国旅游时应当注意的文化上的错误。
1.E 解析:该空是一个总结句,用来引出下面要提到的话题,起承上启下的作用,故选E项。
2.A 解析:结合小标题“Touching Someone”及下文提到的不同国家对于触碰有不同的习俗可知,不同的地方对个人空间的理解各不相同。故选A项。
3.G 解析:上文介绍在中国、日本和一些非洲国家,吃饭时不要闲谈。由此可知,吃饭时要保持沉默,只有G项与此相关。故选G项。
4.F 解析:该空与前一句是相反的情况,上文提到“如果你在门口看到一排鞋子,就松开你的鞋带”,接下来就应当描写与之相反的情况,故选F项。
5.C 解析:从空后的“And don’t ...like queue jumping.”可知,此空与该句表并列关系,也应是“不要……”,故选C项。
五、书面表达。
