- 33 -
【解析】
【详解】考查现在分词作时间状语。句意:村庄发展成为一个重要的电子商务中心,回顾过去,村民们把他们的成功归功于改革开放政策。句子主语the villagers和review之间是一种主动关系,是现在分词作时间状语,故答案为C。

A. What it is that; To be forbidden B. What is that; Forbidden
C. What is it that; Being forbidden D. That is what; Having forbidden
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查强调句型和非谓语动词。句意:——是什么让你儿子今天心情不好?——不让他看他最喜欢的卡通《狗狗巡逻队》。分析句子结构可知,第一空为强调句型的特殊疑问句,即:疑问词What+ it is+ that+其余部分;第二空为非谓语动词,作主语用动名词,且son与forbide之间是被动关系,所以用Being forbidden,故C项正确。
【点睛】注意强调句型的特殊疑问句形式为:疑问词+ is it+ that+其余部分,根据句意“是什么让你儿子今天心情不好?”判断疑问词用what,即:What is it that makes your son feel blue today?

【解析】
- 33 -
【详解】考查状语从句的省略和动词的用法。句意:当我们走进办公室时,我们发现Winifred坐在一张桌子旁。主从句主语一致,状语从句主语省略,seated表示“坐”的状态,,所以不能用seating,故选C。
11.After _______ into more than 50 languages, SpongeBob SquarePants,also simply _______ as SpongeBob has earned numerous awards including four Emmy Awards.
A. translating; being referred to
B. having been translated; referring to
C. translated; referring to
D. being translated; referred to
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:在被翻译成50多种语言后,SpongeBob SquarePants,又名海绵宝宝,赢得了包括四次艾美奖在内的众多奖项。介词after后接动名词作宾语,SpongeBob SquarePants与translate之间是被动关系,而且被翻译成多种语言和获奖几乎同时发生,没有明显的先后顺序,所以第一空用being translated,SpongeBob SquarePants与refer to之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,应该用过去分词表示被动,所以第二空用referred to,故D项正确。
12.His strong sense of humor was make everyone in the room burst out laughing.
A. so as to B. such as to
C. so that D. such that
【答案】B
【解析】

【名师点睛】做本题时,要抓住横线后动词make是动词原型,而非句子,故可以排除C、D两项;so as to“为的是; 是为了;以便”的意思,与其后的动词原形一起作目的状语,用来强调目的,故也可以排除。such as to的用法再举一例:His manner was such as to offend
- 33 -
nearly everyone he met.他的举止几乎冒犯了所有他认识的人。
13.Do not make complaints about being left out___you shy away from sharing your joys and sorrow with others.

The year 2018 will mark the 100h anniversary of the deadliest influenza outbreak
- 33 -
in history. It is estimated that the influenza pandemic (瘟疫) of 1918 killed more than 50 million people around the world. Other estimates go much higher. Because of a lack of medical record-keeping, we may never know the exact number.
The influenza was a fast killer. Some victims died within hours of their first symptoms. Others died after a few days. “Their lungs filled with liquid and they choked to death.” The 1918 flu pandemic was also different from other outbreaks. It struck many young. healthy people. Viruses usually affect sick or old people.
Although modern medicine effectively controls many diseases, influenza remains difficult to protect against. The World Health Organization estimates that every year influenza kills 250,000 to 500,000 people around the world. Each year, medical scientists develop flu vaccines (疫苗) which offer immunity (免疫) from some influenza viruses. But they can only guess which form of the virus will spread.
Health officials remain concerned about another flu pandemic. New forms of the flu virus appear regularly. One example was the “swine flu” or H1N1 outbreak in 2009. Anthony Faucal, Director of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases in the United States says that virus caused a true pandemic.
To stop the next pandemic, scientists are now researching how to create a universal influenza vaccine. In October 2017, Vanderbilt University Medical Center in the U. S. announced the Universal Influenza Vaccine Initiative. The university said researchers are leading an international effort to develop a universal influenza vaccine that will protect everyone against all forms of the flu anywhere in the world. The university added that researchers will begin tests in early 2018. The Human Vaccines Project, a public-private partnership, is funding the project. However, until a universal influenza vaccine is available, today’s seasonal flu vaccine remains important.

C
It doesn’t kill germs better than cooler water, but turning tap temperatures high, the US burns carbon equal to the emissions of Barbados.
People typically wash their hands seven times a day in the United States, but they do it at a far higher temperature than is necessary to kill germs, a new study says. The energy waste is equivalent to the fuel use of a small country.
It’s cold and flu season, when many people are concerned about avoiding germs. But forget what you think you know about hand washing, say researchers at Vanderbilt University. Chances are good that how you clean up is not helping you stay healthy; it is helping to make the planet sick.
Amanda R. Carrico a research assistant professor at the Vanderbilt Institute for Energy and Environment in Tennessee, told National Geographic that hand washing is often “a case where people act in ways that they think are in their best interest, but they in fact have inaccurate beliefs or outdated perceptions.”
Carrico said, “It’s certainly true that heat kills bacteria, but if you were going to use hot water to kill them it would have to be way too hot for you to tolerate.”
She explained that boiling water, 212°F (99.98°C), is sometimes used to kill germs — for example, to clean drinking water that might be polluted with germs. But “hot” water for hand washing is generally within 104°F to 131°F (40°C to 55°C).
- 33 -
At the high end of that range, heat could kill some germs, but the sustained contact that would be required would scald the skin.
Carrico said that after a review of the scientific literature, her team found “no evidence that using hot water that a person could stand would have any benefit in killing bacteria.” Even water as cold as 40°F (4.4°C) appeared to reduce bacteria as well as hotter water, if hands were scrubbed, rinsed (冲洗) and dried properly.
In fact, she noted that hot water can often have an unfavorable effect on hygiene. “Warmer water can harm the skin and affect the protective layer on the outside, which can cause it to be less resistant to bacteria,” said Carrico.
Using hot water to wash hands is therefore unnecessary, as well as wasteful, Carrico said, particularly when it comes to the environment. According to her research, people use warm or hot water 64 percent of the time when they wash their hands. Using that number, Carrico’s team calculated a significant impact on the planet.
“Although the choice of water temperature during a single hand wash may appear minor, when multiplied by the nearly 800 billion hand washes performed by Americans each year, this practice results in more than 6 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions annually,” she said.
That’s roughly equal to the emissions of two coal-fired power plants, or 1,250,000 passenger vehicles, over the course of a year. It’s higher than the greenhouse gas emissions of small countries like EI Salvador or Armenia, and is about equivalent to the emissions of Barbados. If all US citizens washed their hands in cooler water, it would be like eliminating the energy-related carbon emissions of 299,700 US homes, or the total annual emissions from the US zinc or lead industries.
The researchers found that close to 70 percent of respondents said they believe that using hot water is more effective than warm, room temperature, or cold water, despite a lack of evidence backing that up, said Carrico. Her study noted research that showed a “strong cognitive (认知的) connection” between water temperature and hygiene in both the United States and Western Europe, compared to other countries,
- 33 -
like Japan, where hot water is associated more with comfort than with health.
The researchers published their results in the July 2013 issue of International Journal of Consumer Studies. They recommended washing with water that is at a “comfortable” temperature, which they noted may be warmer in cold months and cooler in hot ones.
41. What does the writer mainly focus on when writing this passage?
A. Whether hot water helps kill germs effectively in hand washing.
B. How hot water contributes to the serious worsening of our planet.
C. Why the consumption of hot water is unnecessary and wasteful.
D. What the advantages and disadvantages of using hot water are.
42. The underlined word scald in paragraph six probably means_________.
A. burn B. improve
C. soften D. wrinkle
43. According to the passage, all the following share roughly the same CO2 emissions yearly EXCEPT______.
A. two coal-fired power plants B. US zinc or lead industries
C. 1,250,000 passenger vehicles D. EI Salvador or Armenia
44. Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?
A. Boiling water at 212°F (99.98°C) works effectively in killing germs.
B. Warmer water can damage the protective layer of the outside skin.
C There is much difference between cold water and hot water in reducing bacteria.
D Americans have inaccurate beliefs or outdated perceptions in hand washing.
45. Which of the following is the standard of a comfortable water temperature for washing hands?
A. Warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
B. Between 104°F to 131°F (40°C to 55°C).
C. Below 104°F (40°C) or above 131°F (55°C).
D. Warm enough to kill germs and clean up.

本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了用热水洗手杀死细菌的是不必要的,也是浪费的。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文及根据第一段It doesn’t kill germs better than cooler water, but turning tap temperatures high, the US burns carbon equal to the emissions of Barbados. (它杀死细菌的能力并不比冷水强,但把水龙头的温度调高,美国消耗的碳相当于巴巴多斯岛的排放量)可知,写这篇文章时,作者主要关注用热水洗手是否有助于有效杀灭细菌。故选A项。
【42题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文But “hot” water for hand washing is generally within 104°F to 131°F (40°C to 55°C). At the high end of that range, heat could kill some germs(洗手用的“热”水一般在104到131华氏度(40到55摄氏度)之间,在这个范围的高端,高温可以杀死一些细菌)可知,可以杀死细菌的热水温度处于高温范围,再根据常识可知,如果持续接触高温热水,皮肤可能被烫伤。由此推测scald意为“烫伤”与A项burn“燃烧,烫伤”意思相近。故选A项。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段That’s roughly equal to the emissions of two coal-fired power plants, or 1,250,000 passenger vehicles, over the course of a year. It’s higher than the greenhouse gas emissions of small countries like EI Salvador or Armenia, and is about equivalent to the emissions of Barbados. If all US citizens washed their hands in cooler water, it would be like eliminating the energy-related carbon emissions of 299,700 US homes, or the total annual emissions from the US zinc or lead industries.(这大约相当于两座燃煤发电厂一年的排放量,即1250000辆乘用车的排放量。它比像萨尔瓦多或亚美尼亚这样的小国家的温室气体排放量要高,大约相当于巴巴多斯的排放量。如果所有美国公民都用冷水洗手,那就好比减少了29.97万户美国家庭与能源相关的碳排放,或是美国锌或铅工业的年度总排放量)可知,两座燃煤发电厂,美国锌或铅工业,1250000辆乘用车的二氧化碳排放量大致相同。因此选项中除了萨尔瓦多或亚美尼亚其他的二氧化碳排放量每年大致相同。故选D项。

【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段They recommended washing with water that is at a “comfortable” temperature, which they noted may be warmer in cold months and cooler in hot ones.(他们建议在“舒适”的温度下用水清洗,在寒冷的月份水温可能更高,而在炎热的月份水温可能更低)可知,冬天用暖和的水,夏天用凉爽的水是洗手时舒适的水温标准。故选A项。
D
“Could you see the whites of their eyes?" said the man, who was seated on a soap box.
“Nothing of the kind.," replied old Henry warmly.“Just a lot of figures running towards us, and I let go at where there appeared to be most. Bang!"
“Mr. Fleming:”said the grocer一his respectful voice expressed somehow the old man's exact social weight-' "Mr. Fleming. you never were frightened much in those battles, were you?"
The veteran (老兵) looked down and smiled. Observing his manner, the entire group laughed a little.“Well, I guess I was." he answered finally.“Pretty well scared. sometimes. Why. in my first battle, I thought the sky was falling down. I thought the world was coming to an end. You bet I was scared."
Everyone laughed. Perhaps it seemed strange and rather wonderful to them that a man should admit the thing. and in the tone of their laughter there was probably more admiration than if old Fleming had declared that he had always been a lion Moreover, they knew that he had ranked as an orderly sergeant (中士). and so their opinion of heroism was fixed. None, to be sure, knew how an orderly sergeant ranked. but then it was understood to be somewhere just shy of a major-general's stars. So, when old Henry admitted that he had been frightened, there was a laugh.
- 33 -
“The trouble was," said the old man,“I thought they were all shooting at me. Yes, sir, I thought every man in the other army was aiming at me in particular. and only me. And it seemed so unreasonable. you know. I wanted to explain to them what an almighty good fellow I was. because I thought then they might quit all trying to hit me. But I couldn't explain, and they kept on being unreasonable. Blimp! Blam! Bang! So. I ran!"
Two little triangles of wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes. Evidently he appreciated some comedy in this storytelling. Down near his feet, however, little Jim, his grandson, was obviously horror-stricken. His hands were clasped nervously. and his eyes were wide with astonishment at this terrible scandal (丑闻), his most magnificent grandfather telling such a thing.
“That was at Chancellorsville. Of course, afterwards I got kind of used to it A man does. Lots of men, though, seem to feel all right from the start. I did. as soon as I got on to it" as they say now, but at first I was pretty well scared. Now, there was young Jim Conklin, old Si Conklin's son- that used to keep the leather factory- you none of you recall him- -well, he went into it from the start just as if he was born to it. But with me it was different. I had to get used to it."
When little Jim walked with his grandfather. he was in the habit of skipping along on the stone pavement, in front of the three stores and the hotel of the town, and betting that he could avoid the cracks. But upon this day he walked calmly. with his hand gripping two of his grandfather's fingers. Sometimes he kicked abstractedly at dandelions that curved over the walk. Anyone could see that he was much troubled.
“Um," said the boy. with a strange lack of interest. He continued his reflections. Then finally he asked:“Grandpa- now- -was that true what you were telling those men?"
“What?" asked the grandfather. “What was I telling them?"
“Oh, about your running.
“Why. yes, that was true enough, Jimmie. It was my first fight, and there was an awful lot of noise, you know.'
Jimmie seemed a bit confused that this idol (偶像). of its own will, should be so weak. His stout boyish idealism was injured and then lapsed into a moody silence.

46. What can be inferred from everyone's laugh when Fleming admitted he was scared sometimes?
A. They didn't expect a man like Fleming should admit his fright.
B. They thought that he was just making some kind of joke.
C. They were scared of his social weight and could do nothing else.
D. They teased him for his not being ashamed of his escape from the battlefield.
47. Why was little Jim astonished when Fleming told his story?
A. Because people laughed at his grandfather.
B. Because his grandfather failed to keep the secret.
C. Because his grandfather disappointed him.
D. Because people knew how an orderly sergeant ranked.
48. Which of the following can best describe Henry Fleming?
A. Shy but brave. B. Smart and admirable.

little..“Well, I guess I was." he answered finally. “Pretty well scared…(老兵低下头,笑了。看到他的行为举止,大家都笑了起来。“嗯,我想是的”。他最后回答。“很害怕……。)”。第五段中“Everyone laughed. Perhaps it seemed strange and rather wonderful to them that a man should admit the thing. and in the tone of their laughter there was probably more admiration than if old Fleming had declared that he had always been a lion”大家都笑了。也许对他们来说,一个男人承认这件事(说他在战争中害怕)似乎很奇怪,也很奇妙。在他们的笑声中,也许比老弗莱明宣称他一直像是头狮子更令人钦佩。由以上的内容可知,当大家看到老兵承认在战争中自己会恐惧,他们很奇怪,由此可推断出老弗莱明承认自己有时恐惧出乎大家的意料,故选A。

You bet I was scared." 老兵低头一笑。观察他的举止,整个人群都笑了。“嗯,我想我是。”他最后回答。“有时候非常害怕。在我的第一场战斗中,我以为天要塌下来了。我以为世界要结束了。我肯定很害怕。”第七段中的“Down near his feet, however, little Jim, his grandson, was obviously horror-stricken. His hands were clasped nervously. and his eyes were wide with astonishment at this terrible scandal (丑闻), his most magnificent grandfather telling such a thing.” 然而,在他脚下的小吉姆,他的孙子,显然是吓坏了。他的手紧张地握着。他的眼睛睁得大大的,对这件可怕的丑闻感到惊讶,他最伟大的祖父竟说了这样一件事。结合第9段到最后,小吉姆和他爷爷一起走时,又再一次质疑老弗莱明说的是否是真的(“Grandpa- now- -was that true what you were telling those men?")时,他那种失望跃眼纸上。由此可推断出小吉姆听到爷爷讲他的故事时,非常惊讶,可知他对爷爷的行为非常失望,故选C。

嗯,我想是的。”他最后回答。“很害怕。在我的第一次战斗中,我以为天要塌下来了。我以为世界末日到了。我肯定吓坏了。” 从弗莱明坦言说他害怕,可知他是一个诚实的人。第八段中的“Of course, afterwards I got kind of used to it A man does. Lots of men, though, seem to feel all right from the start. I did. as soon as I got on to it"当然,后来我就习惯了。不过,很多男人似乎从一开始就感觉很好。我也做到了“结合前面杂货商等人认为他是个受人尊重的中士,是个英雄。作为一个英雄,他是勇敢的。综合可知,弗莱明是个诚实的人,是个勇敢的战士。故选C。

Observing his manner, the entire group laughed a little.“Well, I guess I was." he answered finally.“Pretty well scared. sometimes. Why. in my first battle, I thought the sky was falling down. I thought the world was coming to an end. You bet I was scared." 老兵低头一笑。观察到他的举止,整个人群都笑了。“嗯,我想我是。”他最后回答。“有时候非常害怕。在我的第一场战斗中,我以为天要塌下来了。我以为世界要结束了。我肯定很害怕。”从这些自然的叙述中,可以看出弗莱明的性格。这些描述自然朴实,可知选D。

Deep reading, as opposed to superficial (shallow) reading we do on the Web, is an endangered practice, one we ought to take steps to preserve as we would a historic building or a significant work of art.
- 33 -
Recent research has illustrated that deep reading, characterized as a unique experience different kind from the mere understanding of words, is slow, immersive (沉浸的), rich in sensory detail and emotional and moral complexity. Although deep reading does not, strictly speaking, require a conventional book, the limits of the printed page are uniquely helpful to the deep reading experience. A book’s lack of hyperlinks (超链接), for example, frees the reader from making decisions—should I click on this link or not—allowing her to remain fully absorbed in the story.
That immersion is supported by the way the brain handles language rich in detail, indirect reference and figures of speech: by creating a mental representation that draws on the same brain regions that would be active if the scene were unfolding in real life. The emotional situations and moral dilemmas that are the material of literature are also vigorous (有活力的) exercise for the brain, driving us inside the heads of fictional characters and even, studies suggest, increasing our real-life capacity (能力) for recognition.
None of this is likely to happen when we’re browsing through a website. Although we call the activity by the same name, the deep reading of books and the information-driven reading we do on the Web are very different, both in the experience they produce and in the capacity they develop. A growing body of evidence suggests that online reading may be less satisfying, even for the “digital natives” to whom it is so familiar. Researchers reported that 39% of children and teens read daily using electronic devices, but only 28% read printed materials every day. Those who only read onscreen were three times less likely to say they enjoy reading very much and tell which book they like best. The study also found that young people who read daily only onscreen were nearly twice less likely to be above-average readers than those who read daily in print or both in print and onscreen.
All in all, the disappearance of deep reading would harm the intellectual and emotional development of generations growing up online, as well as the preservation of a critical part of our culture: the novels, poems and other kinds of literature that can be appreciated only by readers whose brains have been trained to understand them.

第二节读写任务
61.请阅读下面短文,并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。
The National Outline (纲要) for Educational Reform and Development is bringing change to China’s annual College Entrance Examination.
Currently, a student’s score on the College Entrance Examination is the only factor determining his or her future. Universities set minimum scores in screening (筛选) prospective students, and only those whose scores are higher than the minimum are admitted. The outline suggests that universities choose students based on not only the results of the entrance exam, but also other criteria. For example, if a student’s score is lower than his peers’, but he shows great potential in the subject he’s applying for, then the college might consider admitting him despite the lower general score.
The outline also proposes that some subjects, as a pilot project (试点项目), carry out multiple exams each year. This means that if a student fails an exam, he may have other chances at the exam in the coming semester. And to improve the system for higher education, China will gradually classify exams according to different kinds of education. The outline states that entrance exams for colleges and universities should be organized by the Ministry of Education, while exams for vocational schools (职业学校) should be organized by provincial educational departments.

【答案】The report tells the upcoming reform of the College Entrance Examination, including new ways to improve the examination and enrollment system and separate exams for some subjects according to different kinds of education.
Having read the news, I am filled with great joy. The measures to be taken will better the prevailing system, the most widely acknowledged system of choosing talents. Apart from the scores, other standards will be established so that colleges and universities will focus on students’ individuality and overall qualities.
Among these proposals, I prefer the one that multiple exams each year should be carried out for some subjects. As we all know, once a student performs badly in the College Entrance Examination for some reasons, he may lose the chance to continue his study at college. Therefore, multiple tests makes up for this.
As far as I’m concerned, on the one hand, we can’t deny the role the present system plays. For example, many people couldn’t have changed their fate but for it. On the other hand, caring the score too much brings about many people with high scores and low abilities. So some proper reform is needed.
