A. that B. which C. as D. when
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查非限制性定语从句。句意:在过去几年里“加油”这个说法很流行,它上个月被收录进了牛津英语词典。分析句子结构可知,此处是非限制性定语从句,从句______ was collected into the OED last month.缺少主语,所以用关系代词,先行词为add oil,指物,故用关系代词which。故选B项。
【点睛】定语从句解题步骤:找出先行词;分析定语从句成分(确定关系词);考虑特殊情况
The expression add oil has enjoyed so much popularity in the past years, ______ was collected into the OED last month.
1)先行词是:add oil(指物)
2)定语从句: ______ was collected into the OED last month.缺少主语,使用关系代词
3)因为是非限制性定语从句,排除关系代词that
最后得出用关系代词which

【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:青春期是青少年从童年走向成年的人生阶段,是一个艰难的生理和心理过程。第一空后的从句不缺主要成分,用关系副词,先行词是phase(青春期这一阶段),表时间,定语从句中用when。第二空格代前面整个句子,此时要用which。综合可知选A。
6. There were more than 1,400 occasions last year ________ access to humanitarian aid was denied in some conflict zones.

C. on which D. at which
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:去年,在一些有冲突的地区,人道主义援助被拒绝的次数超过了1400次。短语“on…occasions”为固定搭配,意为“在……场合上”。分析句子可知,本句是定语从句,其中的“occasions”是先行词,放入从句中为access to humanitarian aid was denied in some conflict zones on the occasions可知,occasions在从句中作on的宾语,即on which,故选C。
7. The authorities say nearly 3,000 people died as a result of Hurricane Maria, 46 times more than ______ thought.
A. historically B. originally
C. normally D. frequently

8. Such a man ______ leaves his work half done is not reliable.
A. that B. whose
- 33 -
C. which D. as
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:做事半途而废的人是不可靠的。分析句子可知,从句缺主语。先行词man在从句中作主语,要用关系代词。从句先行词有such,所以用as引导定语从句,故选D。
9. Louis Cha (金庸) passed away. As for his achievement, there is such a comment, “He ______ the Nobel Prize for Literature with his written works translated into English.”
A. could have been rewarded B. must have been rewarded
C. should be rewarded D. need have been rewarded
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查情态动词+have done用法。句意:金庸去世了,至于他的成就,有这样的评论:他本能获得诺贝尔文学奖用他的被翻译成了英语的著作。A. could have been rewarded本可以被授予;B. must have been rewarded一定被授予;C. should be rewarded应该被授予;D. need have been rewarded本必要被授予。根据语境,A选项正确。
【点睛】could have done可用于肯定句、疑问句和否定句。用于肯定句既可以表示过去能够做而实际未做,有惋惜、遗憾或委婉批评之意,通常译为“本来可以”“本来能”,也可以表示对过去动作的推测,常可译为“可能(已经)”。本句表达金庸本能获得诺贝尔文学奖,但却没有获得的惋惜。故A选项正确。
10. Sometimes the best is not available to us, and we just ______ the existing situation.
A. settle for B. substitute for
C. answer for D. make for
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意:有时我们得不到最好的,我们只能满足于现状。A. settle for勉强接受;B. substitute for取代;C. answer for对……负责;D. make for朝……前进。由“not available to us,”和“just”可知,settle for符合语境。故A选项正确。
- 33 -

A. associated B. authentic
C. consistent D. convincing
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词辨析。句意:根据调查的原则,受访者应如实回答与自己领域的现实相符的问题。A. associated联合的; B. authentic真实的; C. consistent一致的; D. convincing令人相信的。be consistent with“与..一致”。根据句意,C选项正确。
12. A good government is not to pick technologies, but to establish conditions ________ innovation is supported and encouraged into the marketplace.
A. when B. that
C. as D. where
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:一个好的政府不是挑选技术,而是建立一个支持和鼓励创新进入市场的条件。句中包含定语从句,先行词是conditions指物,在定语从句中作地点状语,用关系副词where引导,故选D。
【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点:第一、找准先行词;第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词,如本题中先行词为名词conditions指物,再分析先行词conditions在定语从句中所作的成分,将先行词conditions指物带到从句中可知,只能作地点状语,故确定关系词where,相当于in which。故选D。
13. If you see things in a negative light, you will find faults everywhere and problems where there are really ________.
A. none B. some
C. many D. nothing
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查代词辨析。句意:如果你用消极的眼光看待事物,你会发现到处都是错误,到处都是问题。A. none没有任何东西;B. some一些;C. many许多;D.
- 33 -
nothing无事,无物。此处指没有问题的地方也有问题,故选A。
14. Thanks to the “sugar tax”, food factories have reduced sugar in their products, ________ about 45 million kilograms of sugar.
A. to save B. saved
C. saving D. having saved
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:由于“糖税”,食品工厂在食品中减少了糖,节省约4500万公斤的糖。句中主语food factories和动词save是主动关系,用现在分词的一般形式作结果状语。故选C.
【点睛】现在分词短语在句中可以作结果状语,它的逻辑主语便是句中的主语,该短语相当于一个结果状语从句,且用主动语态。分词短语在句中作结果状语时,通常位于句末,中间有逗号。有时为了加强语气,就在分词前加thus。
Their car was caught in a traffic jam, thus causing the delay. = Their car was caught in a traffic jam, thus it caused the delay. 他们的车遇上交通阻塞,因而耽误了。
15. —Mr Johnson, I have something I would like to trouble you with.
—________. Just tell me what I can do.
A. You have my word B. Don't give me that
C. You can say that again D. Don't stand on ceremony

【解析】
【详解】考查情景交际。句意:——约翰逊先生,我有件事想麻烦你。——别太拘谨,告诉我我能做什么。A. You have my word我向你保证;B. Don't give me that少来那套;C. You can say that again 说得好;D. Don't stand on ceremony别太拘谨。此处指别拘谨,别客气,根据语境,故选D。

The power and ambition of the giants of the digital economy is astonishing — Amazon has just announced the purchase of the upmarket grocery chain Whole Foods for $13.5bn, but two years ago Facebook paid even more than that to acquire the WhatsApp messaging service, which doesn’t have any physical product at all. What WhatsApp offered Facebook was an intricate and finely detailed web of its users’ friendships and social lives.
Facebook promised the European commission then that it would not link phone numbers to Facebook identities, but it broke the promise almost as soon as the deal went through. Even without knowing what was in the messages, the knowledge of who sent them and to whom was enormously revealing and still could be. What political journalist, what party whip, would not want to know the makeup of the WhatsApp groups in which Theresa May’s enemies are currently plotting? It may be that the value of Whole Foods to Amazon is not so much the 460 shops of owns, but the records of which customers have purchased what.
Competition law appears to be the only way to address these imbalances of power. But it is clumsy. For one thing, it is very slow compared to the pace of change within the digital economy. By the time a problem has been addressed and remedied it may have vanished in the marketplace, to be replaced by new abuses of power. But there is a deeper conceptual problem, too. Competition law as presently interpreted deals with financial disadvantage to consumers and this is not obvious when the users of these services don’t pay for them. The users of their services are not their customers. That would be the people who buy advertising from them — and Facebook
- 33 -
and Google, the two virtual giants, dominate digital advertising to the disadvantage of all other media and entertainment companies.
The product they’re selling is data, and we, the users, convert our lives to data for the benefit of the digital giants. Just as some ants farm the bugs called aphids for the honeydew they produce when they feed, so Google farms us for the data that our digital lives yield. Ants keep enemy insects away from where their aphids (蚜虫) feed; Gmail keeps the spammers out of our inboxes. It doesn't feel like a human or democratic relationship, even if both sides benefit.
41. According to Paragraph1, Facebook acquired WhatsApp for its________.
A. digital products B. user information
C. physical assets D. quality service
42. Linking phone numbers to Facebook identities may________.
A. worsen political disputes B. mess up customer records
C. pose a risk to Facebook users D. mislead the European commission
43. Competition law as presently interpreted can hardly protect Facebook users because________.
A. they are no defined as customers B. they are not financially reliable
C. these services are generally digital D. the services are paid for by advertisers
44. The ants analogy is used to illustrate_________.
A. a win-win business model between digital giants
B. a typical competition pattern among digital giants
C the benefits provided for digital giants' customers
D. the relationship between digital giants and their users
【答案】41. B 42. C 43. D 44. D

Foods为135亿美元,但两年前Facebook甚至比获得WhatsApp消息传递服务更多,它没有任何实体产品。WhatsApp为Facebook提供的是一个复杂而精细的用户友谊和社交生活网络。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的What WhatsApp offered Facebook was an intricate and finely detailed web of its users’ friendships and social lives.可知,WhatsApp提供给Facebook的是一个复杂和精细化的用户朋友圈和社交生活网络。由此可知, Facebook获得了WhatsApp的用户信息。故选B。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的Facebook promised the European commission then that it would not link phone numbers to Facebook identities, but it broke the promise almost as soon as the deal went through. Even without knowing what was in the messages, the knowledge of who sent them and to whom was enormously revealing and still could be.可知,Facebook当时向欧盟委员会承诺,不会将电话号码与Facebook的身份联系起来,但几乎在交易达成后不久,它就违背了这一承诺。即使不知道这些信息中有什么,但知道是谁发送了这些信息,以及对谁发送这些信息的信息是非常有启发性的,而且仍然是可能的。由此推知,将电话号码与Facebook身份联系起来可能会给Facebook用户带来风险。故选C。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的Competition law as presently interpreted deals with financial disadvantage to consumers and this is not obvious when the users of these services don’t pay for them. The users of their services are not their customers.可知,目前所解释的竞争法涉及对消费者的财务不利,而当这些服务的用户不为这些服务付费时,这一点并不明显。他们服务的用户不是他们的客户。由此推知,竞争法很难保护Facebook的用户,因为这些服务是由广告商付费的。故选D。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中The product they’re selling is data, and we, the users, convert our lives to data for the benefit of the digital giants. Just as some ants farm the bugs called aphids for the honeydew they produce when they feed, so Google farms us for the data that our digital liver yield.可知,他们销售的产品是数据,而我们,用户,为了数字巨头的利益,将我们的生活转化为数据。就像一些蚂蚁养殖蚜虫来获取它们进食时产生的蜜露一样,谷歌养殖我们来获取我们的数字生活产生的数据。由此可知,此处用蚂蚁来比喻数字巨人和他们的用户之间的关系。故选D。

Shelly hugged her husband."Be careful, Billy."
"Come on, Shell!" Bill rolled his eyes. "You worry too much, Honey. Me and the boys will be OK. It's just a three — day trip. We'll catch enough halibut to be able to fix up the baby's room the way you want it." '
"Billy, I love you and worry every time you go to sea, especially in winter."
"Shell, I promise I'll be careful. I may be the youngest captain in this port, but I'm the most careful. I learned at the helm of Daddy's boat, which I was practically raised on."
They hugged again. Bill planted a tender kiss on her cheek, rested his open palm on her slightly swollen stomach, "Besides, I need to be here. Little Billy will need his daddy." Shelly slapped him on the shoulder. "It's Billy Jean and you know it.”
Bill laughed, "Not on my watch, Girl. I gave you a boy to take over as captain."
Their laughter broke the tension. "I have to go, Shell. See you in a few days?" He turned to leave and then turned back, reached into the pocket of his heavy coat and pulled out an envelope."I almost forgot. Here's my letter?"
Shelly took the crisp envelope and slipped into the pocket of her dress. "Thanks,Billy.” It had been their custom since they started dating. Billy gave her a note before he went to sea. She wasn't allowed to open it until the next day. He usually wrote of love or sometimes something silly - both made her smile. She wrote a reply and left it on the kitchen table for him. Reading her reply was the first thing he did when he came home.
She watched as her husband walked the'length of the pier to where the forty-five foot “Shelly Girl” and his crew waited He gave a final wave and climbed aboard.
Shelly stood by their pickup truck and watched until the boat rounded the point and disappeared from view. "I love you, Billy.” she whispered. "Be safe." ①
That evening, five hundred miles to the south, a small winter depression moved north along the Atlantic coast of the USA. Experts found an unexpected change in the jet stream, which would make the small depression become a raging winter storm. ②
- 33 -
Shelly woke in the morning and listened to the weather report on the battered radio sitting on kitchen table. The phone rang."Hello."
“Shelly?"
"Hi, Gail!" She recognized the voice of her friend, who was the wife of one of Billy's crew. “Have you heard the weather?"
"Hang on a second. I just turned the radio on." Shelly's face paled as she heard the weather person say a major winter depression had moved into the area. "Oh crap!"
"That's what [ said too.”
"They'll be OK, Gail. They're experienced fishermen." Shelly said to Gail It was a attempt to convince herself that her man would be safe. ③
Off the south shore of Nova Scotia, Bill struggled to control the Shelly Girl in the growing waves. Wind and water attacked Bill and his crew from all directions. The forty- and fifty-foot walls of water were too much of a challenge for the young captain.
The force of the water flipped the boat over, tore the wheelhouse off and tossed Bill and his crew into the icy Atlantic.
The water, only a few degrees above the freezing point, soon overcame Bill's will to live. “Shelly!
He took a last painful breath of salt water and slipped below the surface. ④
The crisp envelope bent beneath her fingers as she laid it on her lap and read. "Shelly, you are my life,, my love and soon-to-be mother of our son一girl if that is what you really want. I'll always come home."
Shelly reached for the pen in her dress pocket. Tears dripped from her face and stained the paper she wrote on, “________."
Her note sits on their kitchen table still — never read.
45. Why was Shelly worried too much when Billy go to sea this time?
A. Because she and their baby Billy Jean needed Billy's protection and care.
B. Because she knew from the radio that a major winter depression would come.
C. Because she had a feeling that Billy would never return home.
D. Because she cared about Billy's safety in the sea, especially in winter.
- 33 -
46. What can we learn from the passage?

这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了男主人工和女主人公之间的爱情故事。男主人公在出海之前都会留给女主人公一张纸条,直到第二天她才被允许打开它,而女主人公会写会一封回信,把它放在厨房的桌子上。男主人公出海回家第一件事就是看她的回信。女主人公目送男主人出海,而这次出海,男主人公在也没有回来,更没有人去读她的回信。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段“Billy, I love you and worry every time you go to sea, especially in winter.”可知,比利,我爱你,你每次出海我都会担心,尤其是在冬天。所以比利这次出海,雪莉为什么很担心,是因为她关心比利在海上的安全,尤其是在冬天。故选D项。
- 33 -
【46题详解】
细节理解题。由第八段“Reading her reply was the first thing he did when he came home.”可知,他回家第一件事就是看她的回信。所以只有当比利出海归来时,比利才能读雪莱的回信。故选A项。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。由第十七段“ Shelly's face paled as she heard the weather person say a major winter depression had moved into the area.”可知,雪莉听到气象预报员说一场可怕的冬季低气压已经进入这个海域,她脸色变的苍白。所以通过上文语境可以判断出,她试图使自己相信她的男人是安全的,但这是缺乏说服力的。所以空处填weak“缺乏说服力的”。故选A项。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。由第十七段“ Shelly's face paled as she heard the weather person say a major winter depression had moved into the area.”雪莉听到气象预报员说一场可怕的冬季低气压已经进入这个海域,她脸色变的苍白。再由二十段“Off the south shore of Nova Scotia, Bill struggled to control the Shelly Girl in the growing waves. Wind and water attacked Bill and his crew from all directions. The forty- and fifty-foot walls of water were too much of a challenge for the young captain.”在新斯科舍省的南岸,比利在汹涌的海浪中挣扎着控制 Shelly Girl号。风和水从四面八方袭击比尔和他的船员。四五十英尺高的水墙对年轻的船长来说是一个太大的挑战。可知,雪莱很担心比利,她什么都做不了,只能在心里为他祈祷。所以“雪莱坐在被受风雨侵蚀的房子的门廊上,这是她最喜欢的地方,咸咸的空气粘在她厚重的冬衣上, 即将来临的暴风雨将沙子吹过了她的冬靴”这句话应放在 ③处,说明了雪莱来此地的原因,也与下文比利战暴风雨的画面相互呼应,以此说明他们的心永远在一起。故选C项。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。由倒数第三段“Shelly, you are my life, my love and soon-to-be mother of our son一girl if that is what you really want. I'll always come home.”可知,雪莱,你是我最爱的妻子,是我的爱人,是我们的儿子后者女儿的妈妈,那是你所想要的。我会回家的。再由倒数第二段“Tears dripped from her face and stained the paper she wrote
- 33 -
on”眼泪从她脸上流下来,滴在了她写信的纸上。所以通过比利写给雪莱的内容和雪莱含泪写回信可以判断出,比利再也不会回来了,雪莉给比利的回信的内容是“比利,我知道海洋是你的家”。故选B项。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。短文叙述了男主人工和女主人公之间的爱情故事。男主人公在出海之前都会留给女主人公一张纸条,直到第二天她才被允许打开它,而女主人公会写会一封回信,把它放在厨房的桌子上。男主人公回家第一件事就是看她的回信。女主人公目送男主人出海,而这次出海,男主人公就在也没有回来,更没有人去读她的回信。所以短文的最佳标题是“永未读的回信”。故选D项。

The GREATEST Journey
I had lunch last week with a high-ranking business woman for a fortune 500 company. I asked her what tips she would give to someone early in their career. Without hesitation she jumped right into four keys to her professional climb:
Know your business. Never get satisfaction with your industry or your position. In most cases, the knowledge you hold now is not good enough to stand the test of time. Thus, you must keep working to stay on top of what’s new and what’s coming down the pipeline. This is what really counts, especially early in a professional career, as many entry level associates are content to be gainfully employed.
Pick careers with care. Again, early in your career it is easy to run after the job that offers the most money. In the case of a life-long career money cannot answer all things. If you are going to be an entrepreneur then you’ll probably start with a budget of zero. Yet, if you have the discipline, working for yourself could be the best choice you’ve ever made.
If you are going to work for a company you have to do your homework. If you find a company that consists with your values and produces a product that you 100% believe in, then you’ll have an easy time giving that organization your all.
Be personable. If everyone hates to be around you at the office, it’s time to check your attitude. We’ve all heard at least one anecdote about a great thinker with great skills who drove coworkers crazy. Someway, somehow many of the brightest and best
- 33 -
lack the “people skills” to advance beyond an entry-level position.
In short, you must have the interpersonal insight to interact with internal and external contacts. If not, you may find that you are unimportant once someone with soft-skills joins the organization. Why? People have to buy you before they ever buy the product you’re selling.
Be willing to move. This is where I got puzzled. She shared how she lived in seven states still working for the same organization.
Much is made of moving in today’s attempts to climb the corporate ladder. As more and more companies extend to have a global reach, it is easy to understand why new opportunities birth in various locations.
Whatever the path, outline in your heart what destination you hope to reach and this will be a key indicator as to which journey will be greatest for you.

if not lower, prices as the print editions.
Mary Beth Roche, publisher of Macmillan Audio, says many of their readers use audio books as a “multitasking tool”, a way to consume books when their eyes are busy. For others, whose work may involve spending lots of time looking at the screen, audio books are a way to relax. “It’s sort of nice to sit back and have a story told to you,” said Roche.
In the United States, audio books have long been a serious business, simply because Americans on average spend so much time in their cars. “It is a good way for consumers to make the time in traffic quality time,” said Roche. “Even way back when it was the cassette and then the CD, the number one place where people listened was in car. When audio books became available in the digital format, people started using them during other activities—when they are shopping, jogging, performing household tasks and so on.

【答案】Nowadays, many people choose to listen to audio books in various situations instead of reading paper books. Publisher Roche explains why and how the trend has been developing.
From my point of view, it’s reasonable for people to enjoy listening to audio books. As for me, I have developed a habit of listening to them before I go to bed. Therefore, I am in favour of this kind of books, and my reasons are as follows.
First of all, listening to audio books is good for our eyes as we just need to listen. Second, audio books are usually cheaper than their print editions, which allows us easier and even free access to books we like. Finally, listening to audio books is extremely convenient. We can carry audio books with us wherever we go. And we can also listen to them while we are performing other tasks, such as taking exercise, doing the laundry, and driving a car.
