Why bother?何苦呢？根据“For them, it is too good an opportunity to miss.”可知，对他们来说，这是一个不容错过的好机会，所以他们不可能不来，故C项正确。‎ ‎2.— My grandson really loves this place.

Lowering B. Having lowered C. To lower D. To have lowered ‎【答案】C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：为了降低房子的价格，在过去的两年里一些办法已经被采纳。不定式在句中表示目的。‎ ‎【点睛】动词不定式的基本用法：动词不定式能起名词、形容词和副词的作用，可在句中作主语、表语、宾语补足语、定语和状语用。同时还要注意动词不定式的被动语态用法：如果动词不定式的逻辑主语为这个不定式所表示的动作的承受者时，不定式一般就用被动语态形式，如：What is to be done next hasn’t been decided yet.‎ 即学即练：It’s too late. Go to bed right away. Forget you need to get up as early as you can ______ the early train?‎ A. catch B. catching C. caught D. to catch 选D ‎8.What an unforgettable experience!

All right, if you insist B. Not likely C. Mind your own business D. You must be kidding ‎【答案】A ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查交际用语。句意：——Jenny， 我也不想说，但是你真的得走了。——那好吧，如果你坚持的话。A. All right, if you insist那好吧，如果你坚持的话；B.Not likely不见得，不大可能； C. Mind your own business别管闲事；D. You must be kidding 你一定是在开玩笑。所以选A。‎ ‎12.Friends have to learn to _____ annoying habits and to bear differences of opinion．‎ A. put up with B. come up with C. keep up with D. end up with ‎【答案】A ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：朋友们要学会忍受一些恼人的习惯并接受不一样的观点。A. put up with忍受；B. come up with想出；C. keep up with跟上；D. end up with 以……结束。根据“and to bear differences of opinion．”可知，朋友必须学会忍受。故A正确。‎ ‎【点睛】本题都是与介词with有关的短语，在平时的学习中要加强对这些形式相近的短语的识记和辨析。本题的AB项是常考的短语。‎ ‎13.Many companies don’t realize ____ important the customers are, which is why they lose their customers unconsciously.‎ A. what B. whether C. how D. which ‎【答案】C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查宾语从句。句意：很多公司都没有意识到顾客是多么重要，这就是它们在不经意间失去顾客的原因。A. what什么；B. whether是否；C. how如何，多么；D. which哪一。分析句子结构可知，此处是用感叹句作宾语从句，important是形容词，故用how引导，故选C项。‎ ‎【点睛】本题考查感叹句作为宾语从句，强调形容词/副词用how引导，强调名词用what引导。例如 You can’t imagine how difficult the problem is.你想象不到这个问题有多难。‎ You can’t imagine what a difficult problem it is.你想象不到它是一个多么难的问题。‎ ‎14.American fathers ______ more than twice the amount of time with their children than they used to in years past, due to a sweeping new trend called "unemployment".‎ A. were spending B. spent C. are spending D. have spent ‎【答案】C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查时态。句意：美国的父亲们用在陪他们孩子身上的时间比之过去的几年多了两倍，因为一个刚刚兴起的名字“失业”。根据句意较之“ used to in years past”可见当前这种状态正在发生着，故选择现在进行式，答案为C。‎ ‎15.He ______ writing the paper now. He hadn’t written a single word when I left him ten minutes ago.‎ A. shouldn’t be B. can’t have finished C. can’t be D. mustn’t have finished ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查推测句。句意：他现在不可能写完了卷子。我十分钟之前留下他时，他还没有写一个字。根据句意可知，此处考查对过去情况的否定推测，其表达为can’t have done不可能做某事，故选B项。‎ ‎【点睛】本题考查推测句 对过去情况的肯定推测是must have done 对过去情况的否定推测是can’t/couldn’t have done 例如:‎ The ground is wet, so it must have rained last night.‎ He can’t have finished his work, because he played basketball all day yesterday.‎ III. 完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 完形填空 It wasn’t yet 8:30 am.

"But did someone really" make me angry "or are we felling the anger in us getting kicked up in response to the way someone behaved towards us？‎ The difference between the two is in who the responsible party is for the way we feel. If we blame others for our feelings we will eventually feel reasonable at whatever our retaliation（报复）may be，and we will explain that it was their fault，not ours. "They were driving me mad”.‎ When we blame others for the way we feel we have in fact given power to others for the state of our emotional wellbeing（健康）. The truth is，no one controls our feelings but us. If we are finding that people in our lives really know how to" push our buttons" then we are not doing a good enough job at protecting our " buttons. "We are the ones leaving our buttons out in the open so that other people can" push them. "Ultimately，the switch for our buttons is inside us-not on the outside.‎ While there are some things in life that are clearly out of our control，like the weather or a flight that's two hours late，how we act and respond to other people's behavior is not among them. Our responses to others are well within our control.‎ If someone is "making us" so mad，for example，that we get angry，we are not doing enough to learn about what drives our anger and how to properly cope with it. My suggestion is taking time before you get angry. and putting some work into taking an inventory（清单）of the past. An ‎ inventory can show you how much of your past experiences influence your feeling reactions in the current moment.‎ When we finally realize that so much of our present feelings and reactions are driven from within ourselves and our own past experiences，we will be ready to make the changes in our lives that will better secure our buttons so that they are no longer left out in public for everyone to push at will.‎ ‎36. What result will appear if we blame others for our emotions?‎ A. We consider others to be correct.‎ B. We consider ourselves to be correct.‎ C. We consider we were driving ourselves mad.‎ D. We consider they were driving themselves mad.‎ ‎37. What's the author's attitude towards feelings?‎ A. We should blame others for the way we feel.‎ B. We should enable others to control our feelings.‎ C. We should let others know our daily life clearly.‎ D. We should control personal feelings ourselves.‎ ‎38. According to the author, which can always be under our control?‎ A. The weather conditions.‎ B. The delay of a flight C. Other people's feelings.‎ D. Our own behavior.‎ ‎39. Which proverb best suits the author's advice in Paragraph 5?‎ A. A burden of one's choice is not felt.‎ B. A friend is easier lost than found.‎ C. Think twice before acting.‎ D. A good beginning is half done.‎ ‎40. What does the underlined phrase "push our buttons" probably mean in Paragraph3?‎ A. Force us to do a god job.‎ B. Make us angry.‎ C. Take off our buttons.‎ D. Let us down.‎ ‎【答案】36. B 37. D 38. D 39. C 40. B ‎【解析】‎ 本文为议论文。我们把自己的愤怒归咎于他人，但是，到底是别人的行为让我们生气，还是我们自己激发了内心的愤怒来回应别人对我们的行为? 事实上，除了我们自己，没有人能控制我们的情绪。‎ ‎【36题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段的If we blame others for our feelings we will eventually feel reasonable at whatever our retaliation（报复）may be，and we will explain that it was their fault，not ours.可知如果我们把自己的情绪归咎于他人，我们将会辩称这是他们的错，不是我们的。选项B符合题意，故选B。‎ ‎【37题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段的The truth is，no one controls our feelings but us.可知，除了我们自己，没有人能控制我们的感情，故选D。‎ ‎【38题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第四段的While there are some things in life that are clearly out of our control，…，how we act and respond to other people's behavior is not among them. Our responses to others are well within our control.可知，虽然生活中有一些事情是我们无法控制的，我们自己的行为完全在我们的控制之中。故选D。‎ ‎【39题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第五段My suggestion is taking time before you get angry. and putting some work into taking an inventory（清单）of the past. An inventory can show you how much of your past experiences influence your feeling reactions in the current moment.可知，作者建议在你生气之前先慢下来，花点时间盘点一下过去。选项C. Think twice before acting（三思而后行）符合题意，故选C。‎ ‎【40题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据第三段The truth is，no one controls our feelings but us. If we are finding that people in our lives really know how to" push our buttons" then we are not doing a good enough job at protecting our " buttons. "可知，除了我们自己，没有人能控制我们的情绪。如果我们发现生活中如果有人激起了我们愤怒的情绪，那是因为我们在保护“情绪”方面做得不够好。因此，"push our buttons"意为“使我们愤怒”，故选B。‎ B Liminal: Tate Britain, Information desk; Every weekend 11:00-15:00, and on Thursdays during school holidays 26 July-31 August 2019; Free；No booking required.

Warkentin made the surprising discovery while studying red—eyed tree frogs in Costa Rica.‎ ‎ In this species，female frogs attach jellylike clumps（果冻一样的块状物）of their eggs to the undersides of leaves．The leaves hang on branches that dangle（悬挂）over ponds．After they hatch from the eggs，the tadpoles（蝌蚪）then fall into the water，where they eventually grow into adult frogs.‎ ‎ Tree frog eggs usually grow for 6 days before hatching．If they sense that a hungry snake is about to attack，however，they can hatch up to 2 days ahead of schedule. As the snakes are unable to swim，by falling into the water early，the tadpoles can escape.‎ ‎ If hatching early helps protect red—eyed tree frogs from snakes，you might wonder why their eggs don’t always hatch sooner．It turns out that hatching early brings its own danger．Once tadpoles land in the water，hungry fish and other animals like to eat them too．Staying in their eggs for a full 6 days，then，allows frog embryos（胚胎）to grow big and strong．This extra growth improves their chances of surviving in the water．‎ ‎45. It can be inferred from the passage that fears .‎ A. help animals grow bigger and stronger B. are less common among young animals C. help animals move a lot to fit the environment D. are more or less important in order for animals to survive ‎46. We are told in the passage that tree frogs .‎ A. face danger both inside their eggs and in the water B. will grow fast if they fall into the water later C. are surprisingly clever when inside their eggs D. stay in their eggs longer if they are frightened ‎47. Why do the tadpoles hatch up to 2 days ahead of the schedule？Because A. They like falling into the water early B. They want to grow into adult frog C. They sense a hungry snake is about to attack D. Frog embryos can grow strong ‎48. What is the best title of the passage?‎ A. What is Fear B. Why do we feel afraid C. You feel afraid，animals do too D. Fear is a good thing ‎49. What do you think would be discussed in the following paragraph?‎ A. Further explanations as to why tree frogs hatch ahead of schedule．‎ B. How the unborn frogs know when a snake is about to attack them．‎ C. Another example of animals that responds to fear in an unexpected way．‎ D.

Because I love music, I started singing in the choir (合唱队), where I met Lisa. We were about the same age. Finding people with similar interests helped reduce my feelings of ‎ loneliness after moving to a new city.‎ ‎“Are you going to go on the retreat (静修)?” Lisa asked. Once or twice a year, the young adult group put on a retreat. I hesitated. I had little experience with retreats and I still felt like an outsider. “Come on,” Lisa said. “Everyone goes.” “Okay.” I agreed. After all, some cute guys were in the group. As the retreat weekend approached, I learned that the theme was forgiveness.‎ In my twenties, the world revolved(旋转)around me and what I wanted. And, as most people do, I learned how to be pleasant enough without giving in and having to apologize any more than necessary. In short, the forgiveness theme made me uncomfortable. I would attend the retreat, but I planned to sit quietly in the background and watch.‎ The retreat was held at a camp in Prescott, Arizona. The first night we gathered in the common room where we also ate our meals. According to the plan, I found a spot in the back where I could watch, unnoticed. The leader got up and spoke about the healing power of forgiveness. His words were touching. “Now comes the hard part,” he said. “I want to invite you to look into your hearts and if you feel moved to do so, go to a person here in the room and ask to be forgiven for something you’ve done.”‎ At the beginning, there was total silence. Was he kidding? Then Lisa stood up and made her way through the crowd toward me. Lisa planted her feet firmly in front of me. “Kathleen, I’d like to ask your forgiveness.” I shook my head. Then nodded, not sure how to respond. I felt the heat rise into my cheeks. I could hardly breathe knowing that everyone could hear and see all this. I had no idea what I was forgiving her for. I wanted her to just go away.‎ ‎“I have been angry at how easily you joined our group. Even though you became my friend when we worked on music together, I still thought you were doing it for yourself. I’ve held that against you and I’m sorry.” “It’s okay,” I choked out. Stunned, I stood up, gave her an awkward hug and then sat back down. Lisa turned and went back to her seat. Lisa’s bravery broke the ice and everyone started to ask forgiveness for various injuries, some big, some small.‎ The world began to change for me. I learned empathy the day that Lisa asked my forgiveness. I had read To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee several times. But I realized that I had never understood the message Atticus Finch taught his children: “You never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them.” Through the years my friendships were better, stronger and deeper. I apologized and forgave quickly. Lisa allowed me the gift of friendship because her ‎ example taught me to forgive.‎ ‎50.

He was raised in Missouri where he worked in his father’s store while attending school. This was his first retailing(零售业)experience and he really enjoyed it. After graduation, he began his own career as a retail merchant.‎ He soon opened his first Wal-Mart store in ‎1962 in Rogers, Arkansas. Wal-Mart specialized in name brands at low prices and Sam Walton was surprised at the success. Soon a chain of Wal-Mart stores sprang up across rural America.‎ Walton’s management style was popular with employees and he founded some of the basic concepts of management that are still in use today.‎ After taking the company public in 1970, Walton introduced his “profit sharing plan”. The profit sharing plan was a plan for Wal-Mart employees to improve their income dependent on the profits of the store. Sam Walton believed that “individuals don’t win, teams do”. Employees at Wal-Mart stores were offered stock options(认股权)and store discounts. These benefits are commonplace today, but Walton was among the first to implement (实现) them. Walton believed that a happy employee meant happy customers and more sales. He also believed that by giving employees a part of the company and making their success dependent on the company’s success, they would care about the company.‎ By the 1980s, Wal-Mart had sales of over one billion dollars and over three hundred stores across North America. Wal-Mart’s unique decentralized (分散的) distribution system, also Walton’s idea, created the edge needed to further encourage growth in the 1980s during growing complaints that the “superstore” was stopping smaller and traditional stores from developing. By 1991, Wal-Mart was the largest US retailer with 1,700 stores. Walton remained active in managing the company, as president and CEO until 1988 and chairman until his death. He was awarded the Medal of Freedom shortly before his death.‎ ‎56. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

He also believed that by giving employees a part of the company and making their success dependent on the company’s success, they would care about the company.”可知，利润分享计划是沃尔玛员工依靠门店利润提高收入的计划，山姆·沃尔顿相信“个人不会赢，团队会赢”，他认为，快乐的员工意味着快乐的顾客和更多的销售，他还认为，通过让员工成为公司的一部分，让他们的成功依赖于公司的成功，他们会关心公司，欧此可知，‎ 沃尔顿实施“利润分享计划”的目的是依靠商店的利润提高员工的收入/依靠公司的成功来促进员工成功/使员工快乐并促进销售/鼓励员工关心公司，故填：To improve the employees’ income dependent on the profits of the store./To make the employees’ success dependent on the company’s success./To make the employees happy and promote sales./To encourage the employees to care about the company。‎ ‎【59题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据最后一段内容，特别是根据“By the 1980s, Wal-Mart had sales of over one billion dollars and over three hundred stores across North America.”及“By 1991, Wal-Mart was the largest US retailer with 1,700 stores.”可知，到20世纪80年代，沃尔玛在北美的销售额超过10亿美元，门店超过300家；到1991年，沃尔玛已成为美国最大的零售商，拥有1700家门店，由此可知，本段主要讲的是沃尔玛的成功，故填：The great achievements / success of Wal-Mart (and Sam Walton)./The great development / success of Wal-Mart。‎ ‎【60题详解】‎ 主观题。抓住要点并给出合理的原因即可，如：他是一个有天赋的（有创造性的）商人，因为他经营的沃尔玛取得了巨大的成功/实施了利润分享计划/他创立了一些至今仍在使用的管理理念，故填：I think he is / was a talented businessman / active and creative. （He made Wal-Mart a great success.）（He introduced “profit sharing plan” and promoted sales.）（He founded some concepts of management that are still in use today.）（He developed his unique management style.）‎ ‎【点睛】代词指代形式的词义猜测题难度较大，抓住画线词的上文是关键，因此这种指代关系往往存在于这个代词与前面出现的某一（些）名词之间，例如本篇第1题，根据画线词前的“This was his first retailing(零售业)experience”可知，这是他的第一次零售经历，因此处是说：这是他第一次零售经历，他非常喜欢它，由此可知it指的就是“他的第一次零售经历”，故填：His first retailing experience。‎
