【答案】1. on/upon
2. were invited
3. copies
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。记叙了作者从小热爱音乐,并和自己的乐队靠“滑稽爵士乐”出名的经过。
【1题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:起初,我们靠在街上演奏乐器赚钱。短语depend on/upon“取决于;依靠”。故填on/upon。
【2题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意:不久,我们的“滑稽爵士乐”就出名了,我们被邀请到各地演出。本句主语与谓语动词构成被动关系,且根据上文our “funny jazz” became famous可知应用一般过去时,故填were invited。
【3题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:大约售出了一百万册,我们变得富有和受欢迎。copy为可数名词,根据上文one million可知应用复数形式,故填copies。
B
Voyages of people from England played ____4____ important part in spreading the English language.

6. gradually
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。主要说明了英国人的航海对英语的传播起了重要作用。
【4题详解】
考查冠词。句意:英国人的航海对英语的传播起了重要作用。固定短语play an important part in“起重要作用”,故填an。
【5题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:以英式英语为基础,这些国家说的英语可以被以英语为母语的人很好地理解。本句已经存在谓语动词且句中没有连词,故base只能做非谓语动词与逻辑主语构成被动关系,故填过去分词Based。
【6题详解】
考查副词。句意:但实际上,英语在口音、拼写、表达方式和词汇用法方面都在逐渐发生变化。change为动词需要副词修饰,故填gradually。
C

【答案】7. who/that
8. watching
9. us 10. has astonished
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一位杰出的演员查理·卓别林,他独特的幽默感直到今天仍然让世界各地的人们感到惊讶。
【7题详解】
考查定语从句连接词。句意:查理·卓别林是一位杰出的演员,他出演并导演了许多杰出的喜剧。本句为定语从句修饰先行词performer,且先行词在从句中做主语,指人,故填who/that。
【8题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:很少有人对他的胡子、他的手势或他被侦探追捕时的有趣反应感到厌烦。in为介词后跟动名词做宾语,故填watching。
【9题详解】
考查人称代词。句意:他喝醉了,踩在香蕉皮上滑倒了,或者对着别人窃窃私语自己的失败,这些都让我们对自己的生活感到更加满意,甚至不需要用一个词。本空做谓语动词make的宾语,故填人称代词宾格us。
【10题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:直到今天,他独特的幽默感仍然让世界各地的人们感到惊讶。根据下文even till this day“直到今天”,可知应用现在完成时,且主语为单数名词,故填has astonished。
【点睛】定语从句中的关系词选择,可考虑以下几点:
1、看清楚先行词的意义,就是理清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点、原因。指物时不能用
who或whom,指人时通常不用which等等。
2、看清楚关系词的句法功能,就是理清关系词是担任什么句子成分,是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等等。作定语通常用whose,有时也用which。作状语要用when, where, why。
3、看清楚定语从句的种类,就是理清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句。that、why通常不引导非限制性定语从句。
4、看清楚文体,就是理清是正式文体,还是非正式文体。是书面语体还是口语体。
如第一小题,句意:查理·卓别林是一位杰出的演员,他出演并导演了许多杰出的喜剧。本句为定语从句修饰先行词performer,且先行词在从句中做主语,指人,故填who/that。

Are no two snowflakes alike? The snowflakes we see in the winter are most likely completely unique from one other.
Beaver Creek is a great place to experience the beauty of the snow, with programs for everyone—from children, teens, and women-only lessons to small groups and private-guided experiences.

Once you have skied, you are treated to a delicious breakfast at Allie’s Cabin.
If you are looking for a higher level of comfort there is the White Carpet Club, from Beaver Creek Reserve. Located in the heart of Beaver Creek Village, it maximizes your time on the mountain by streamlining your access to it. At the club, there are private lockers and boot dryers, along with preferred self-parking and a slope-side ski waiter. A receptionist can assist with lift tickets, pass purchases, dinner reservations, and activity recommendations.
Of course, there is more to explore during the winter in Beaver Creek as well. There is ice skating, snowshoeing, shopping, and spas—you name it, Beaver Creek has it. It is the perfect place to take advantage of the snow and be in the moment, in the mountains, together.
The extraordinary is a rare combination of one-of-a-kind experiences designed to be shared with service that exceeds expectation. The extraordinary brings you closer to one another and offers a special place to
belong together. Belong in The Extraordinary.

I said, “Papi, let me finish school.” None of his other daughters completed more than three grades. “I still can do my chores(家务),” I told him. “Pay for me to finish school.”
He dug his boot into the dry earth of Quanajuato the state he never left in his entire life. But he still was the smartest man in our village. He read books about Egypt and knew how to handwrite, unlike my mother, who never had an education.
“Why do you want to return to school?” he said, lowering his eyes to me. “So you can meet a man, marry, and quit? You want me to pay for that?”
“No, Papi,” I said. “I won’t marry in school and I promise I’ll graduate.”
The wind whistled through the trees. My father saw a fisherman with a pole bent over the riverbank. I said urgently, “Papi,” and I almost grabbed his thick brown wrist. In the country, my father would stop and talk with any stranger, no matter what he was doing.He would talk aboutthe harvest, the weather, the family, but mostly, he would listen.
He turned, making his way to the fisherman. I followed behind him in my open-toed shoes, carefully picking my steps. I knew I had lost his attention and I searched around me for something to fill the time I would spend waiting. But there was nothing and nobody.
“Buenos dias,” my father said to the fisherman.
I took my seat ten feet from them. The two men stared across the lake and talked. Their voices
droned on and were blended with the wind. I daydreamed.
“Marta, come here,” my father called to me.
I lifted myself up and walked very slowly toward them without lifting my feet off the ground.
“Marta,” my father said, “I have asked Don Toms what he thinks about your promise.”
I stared at this fisherman, this stranger, and then back at my father with wide eyes.
“I told him about your promise to stay single, and he told me—let her go.”
The fisherman looked down at his worn shoes. “If you want it,” he said to the earth beneath his feet.
Later, I became Father’s only daughter to complete high school education, and the only one to leave his house unmarried.
34. The author spoke to her father to ________.
A. share her school life
B. beg for her school fee
C. learn about her sisters’ study
D. complain about the housework
35. The author felt ________ when her father went over to the fisherman.

C. angry D. helpless
36. Why did the author’s father talk with the fisherman?

C. To ask for advice. D. To get away from the author.
37. The last paragraph suggests that the author _______.
A. kept her words B. missed her father
C. regretted the decision D. lived a comfortable life
【答案】34. B 35. D 36. C 37. A
【解析】

【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段I said, “Papi, let me finish school.” None of his other daughters completed more than three grades. “I still can do my chores(家务),” I told him. “Pay for me to finish school.”
我说,“爸爸,让我完成学业吧。”他的其他女儿都不超过三个年级。“我仍然可以做我的家务,”我告诉他,“给我钱让我完成学业。”可知,作者和她父亲谈话,要求支付她的学费。故选B项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段He turned, making his way to the fisherman. I followed behind him in my open-toed shoes, carefully picking my steps. I knew I had lost his attention and I searched around me for something to fill the time I would spend waiting. But there was nothing and nobody. 他转身向渔夫走去。我穿着露趾鞋跟在他后面,小心翼翼地走着。我知道我已经失去了他的注意,于是我在周围寻找一些东西来填补我将要等待的时间。但是什么也没有,也没有人。由此判断出当她父亲去见渔夫时,作者感到很无助。故选D项。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第五段Marta,” my father said, “I have asked Don Toms what he thinks about your promise.”可知,玛尔塔,父亲说,我已经问过汤姆斯先生他对你的承诺有何看法。所以为什么作者的父亲要和渔夫谈话是为了寻求建议。故选C项。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Later, I became Father’s only daughter to complete high school education, and the only one to leave his house unmarried.可知,后来,我成了父亲唯一完成高中教育的女儿,也是唯一一个离开家不结婚的女儿。由此判断出,最后一段暗示了作者遵守了诺言。故选A项。

Love the way you walk
Listen carefully to the footsteps in the family home, and you can probably work out who is walking about. The features most commonly used to identify people are faces, voices and fingerprints. But the way they walk is also a giveaway.
Researchers have used video cameras and computers to analyze people’s gaits, and are now quite good at it. But translating such knowledge into a practical identification system can be tricky. Cameras are often visible, are difficult to set up, require good lighting and may have their view blocked by other people. A team led by Dr. Ozanyan and Dr. Scully have been looking for a better way to recognize gait. Their answer: pressure-sensitive mats.
Such mats are nothing new. They have been part of security systems. But Ozanyan and Scully use
a complicated version that can record the amount of pressure applied in different places as someone walks across it. These measurements form a pattern unique to the walker. The researchers turned to an artificial-intelligence system to recognize such patterns, and it seemed to work. In a study in 2018, they tested the system on a database of footsteps of 127 people. They found its error rate in identifying who was who was a mere 0.7%. And Scully says even without a database of footsteps to work with, the system can determine someone’s sex and, with reasonable accuracy, a subject’s age.
One application of the mat-based gait-recognition system might be in health care, particularly for the elderly. A mat placed in a nursing home or an old person’s own residence could monitor changes in an individual’s gait that indicates certain illnesses. That would provide early warning of someone being at greater risk of falling over.
Gait analysis might also be used as a security measure in the workplace, monitoring access to restricted areas, such as parts of military bases, server farms or laboratories dealing with dangerous materials.
Perhaps the most interesting use of the mats, though, would be in public places, such as airports. For that to work, the footsteps of those to be recognized would need to have been stored in a database, which would be harder to arrange than the collection of photographs and fingerprints that existing airport security systems rely on. Many aircrew or preregistered frequent flyers would welcome anything that speeded up one of the most tiresome parts of modern travel.
38. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2?
A. Research equipment. B. Research findings.
C. Research assumption. D. Research background.
39. According to Paragraph 3, the mat is used to _______.
A. collect data B. ensure safety
C. determine age D. analyse pressure
40 The gait-recognition system might be applied to _____.
A. monitor security work progress B. detect potential health problems
C. keep track of travelling frequency D. warn passengers of possible dangers
41. The main purpose of the passage is to _____.
A. compare and educate B. examine and assess
C. discuss and persuade D. explain and inform
【答案】38. D 39. A 40. B 41. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。本文主要向我们介绍了通过步态来识别人的身份的一项新的科学研究:压敏垫。可用它来识别身份和监控健康。
【38题详解】

Overtourism: A growing global problem
The summer holidays are in full swing—and protests against overtourism have begun in a
number of popular European cities. Barcelona, in particular, is at the centre of these mounting concerns about the rapid growth of tourism in cities, especially during peak holiday periods. In fact, there were 30 million overnight visitors in 2017, compared to a resident population of 1,625,137 in Barcelona.
While many tourists want to “live like a local” during their visits, the residents of many tourism-dependent destinations are seeing the unique sense of place that characterised their home towns vanish beneath a wave of souvenir shops, crowds, tour buses and noisy bars. Overtourism is harming the landscape, damaging beaches, and pricing residents out of the housing market. It is a hugely complex issue that is often oversimplified.
It can have an impact in multiple ways. The international cruise(游轮) industry, for example, delivers thousands of passengers daily to destination ports. While comparatively little is returned to communities, cruise activity creates physical and visual pollution.
City residents also bear the cost of tourism growth. As cities transform to offer service to tourists, the global travel supply chain advances. This goes with increasing property speculation(房产投机) and rising costs of living for local communities. Airbnb, for example, has been accused of reducing housing affordability and displacing residents.
In addition, overcrowding and the establishment of typical tourism-focused businesses, such as clubs, bars and souvenir shops, overpower local businesses—and noisy and unmanageable tourist behaviour is common. This weakens the uniqueness of destinations and leads to crowd and waste management pressures.
Clearly, tourism brings jobs, investment and economic benefits to destinations. But overtourism occurs when tourism expansion fails to acknowledge that there are limits. Local government and planning authorities have so far been powerless to deal with the irresistible influence of the global tourism supply chain. This has led to widespread “tourist-phobia”—first described by Manuel Delgado more than a decade ago as a mixture of rejection, mistrust and disrespect for tourists.
Dealing with overtourism must now be a priority. Managing the flow of tourists seems an improbable and unwelcome task. But some cities have taken extreme measures to limit the effects of overtourism, including the introduction of new or revised taxation arrangements, fines linked to new local laws, and “demarketing”, whereby destinations focus on attracting fewer, high-spending and low impact tourists, rather than large groups.
Overtourism is a shared responsibility. City administrators and destination managers must acknowledge that there are definite limits to growth. Putting the wellbeing of local residents above the needs of the global tourism supply chain is vital. Primary consideration must be given to ensuring that the level of visitation fits within a destination’s capacity. We need to urgently rethink the way cities are evolving to uphold the rights of their residents.
42. Why is Barcelona mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. To describe how unique the city is.
B. To warn people away from popular cities.
C. To show how crowded a destination can be.
D. To compare the number of visitors to that of locals.
43. What is the problem of overtourism?
A. It has destroyed local businesses.
B. It has led to higher living expenses.
C. It has increased the unemployment rate.
D. It has caused mistrust among local communities.
44. The reason for overtourism is that _______.
A. destinations misjudge their capacity
B. tourists lack a sense of responsibility
C. governments fail to support the supply chain
D. tourists’ travelling preference is oversimplified
45. According to the writer, what should the local governments do?
A. Take full advantage of tourism.
B. Guarantee local people’s welfare.
C. Advocate a ban on global tourism.
D. Control tourism-related businesses.
【答案】42. C 43. B 44. A 45. B
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要谈论了过度旅游的问题。一些景点由于误判了当地游客的容纳量,导致大量游客在当地旅游,带来一系列恶劣后果。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段In fact, there were 30 million overnight visitors in 2017, compared to a resident population of 1,625,137 in Barcelona.可知,作者列出当地有3千万游客,1,625,137常住人口。由此判断出提及Barcelona是为了体现当地的拥挤状况。故选C项。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段City residents also bear the cost of tourism growth.可知,城市居民也承受着旅游增长的成本。所以游客的大量来访,导致当地是物价上涨,生活成本提高。故选B项。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段But overtourism occurs when tourism expansion fails to acknowledge that there are limits. 但当旅游业扩张没有认识到存在限制时,就会出现过度旅游。可知,由于误判了当地游客容纳量,导致大量游客在当地旅游,带来一系列恶劣后果。故选A项。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段Putting the wellbeing of local residents above the needs of the global tourism supply chain is vital. 将当地居民的福祉置于全球旅游供应链的需求之上至关重要。可知,要保障当地人们的福利。故选B项。
【点睛】本文主要考查细节理解题和推理判断题。在做事实细节题时,首先看题目要求我们理解什么细节,找出关键词,迅速在文章里找出相应的段落、句子或短语,认真比较选项和文中细节的区别。如,第2小题考查过度旅游的问题是什么,根据第四段City residents also bear the cost of tourism growth.可知,城市居民也承受着旅游增长的成本。所以游客的大量来访,导致当地物价上涨,生活成本提高。故选B项。
在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断。如,第4小题中推断当地政府采取什么措施,根据最后一段Putting the wellbeing of local residents above the needs of the global tourism supply chain is vital.可知,要保障当地居民的福利。故选B项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Healthy See, Healthy Do
Visit the grocery store on an empty stomach, and you will probably come home with a few things you did not plan to buy. But hunger is not the only cause of additional purchases. The location of store displays (摆放) also influences our shopping choices.___46___
The checkout area is a particular hotspot for junk food. Studies have found that the products most commonly found there are sugary and salty snacks.___47___ A 2012 study in the Netherlands found that hospital workers were more likely to give up junk food for healthy snacks when the latter were more readily available on canteen shelves, for example. In 2014 Norwegian and Icelandic researchers also found that replacing unhealthy foods with healthy ones in the checkout area significantly increased last-minute sales of healthier foods.
___48___ It has been working with more than 1,000 store owners to encourage them to order and promote nutritious foods. “We know that the stores are full of cues (暗示) meant to encourage consumption,” says Tamar Adjoian, a research scientist at the department, “Making healthy foods more convenient or appealing can lead to increased sales of those products.”
Adjoian and her colleagues wondered if such findings would apply to their city’s crowded urban checkout areas, so they selected three Bronx supermarkets for their own study. ___49___ Then they recorded purchases over six three-hour periods in each store for two weeks.
Of the more than 2,100 shoppers they observed, just 4 percent bought anything from the checkout area. Among those who did, however, customers in the healthy lines purchased nutritious foods more than twice as often as those in the standard lines.___50___ The findings were reported in September in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior.
The potential influence may seem small, but Adjoian believes that changing more checkout lines would open customers’ eyes to nutritious, lower-calorie foods. Health department officials are now exploring ways to expand healthy options at checkout counters throughout New York City.
A. These foods give people more energy.
B. They bought unhealthy foods 40 percent less often.
C. And it may make or break some healthy eating habits.
D. The supermarkets began to offer nutritious, lower-calorie foods.
E. These findings caught the attention of New York City Department of Health.
F. They replaced candies and cookies with fruits and nuts near the checkout counter.
G. And a few studies have suggested that simply swapping in healthier options can change customer behavior.
【答案】46. C 47. G 48. E 49. F 50. B
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章用几个实验向我们证明了商店里商品的摆放位置,特别是结账处附近的商品摆放会影响我们购物的选择。所以健康部门和专家都呼吁将健康食品放在这些地方,提高大家对健康食品的关注度。
【46题详解】
空格位于首段最后一句。空格前一句句意为:店内商品的摆放位置也会影响购物的选择。选项C中的it与上句话中的“The location”可形成指代关系,并且“make or break some healthy eating habits”与文章主题(Healthy See, Healthy Do看到的健康的,买的就是健康的)呼应。故选C。
【47题详解】
空格位于段中。空格前句意为:结账处摆放的商品经常是糖或者咸的零食。空格后的两个举例都是强调如果购物者看到的经常是健康食品的话,他们会更多的选择健康食品。由此可推知,空格处应该是强调换一下摆放在结账处的食品的重要性。选项G中的“simply swapping in healthier options can change customer behavior(简单地将垃圾食品换成健康一点的食品能改变顾客的购物行为)”与这一语境呼应,起到承上启下的作用。故选G。
【48题详解】
空格位于段首。由本段中的“a research scientist at the department”可知,前边应该出现过department,选项E中的“Department of Health”与之呼应。故选E。
【49题详解】
空格位于段中。分析文章结构,第四段和第五段主要讲述Adjoian和她同事们做的试验。空格前句意为:为了证明把健康食品放在收银处,是不是影响拥挤的市区内的顾客的购买行为,他们选择了三家超市。空格后句意为:他们连续三周每天分六次每次三小时记录购买情况。可以推知,中间一句话应该是实验的设置方式。选项F中的“They replaced candies and cookies
with fruits and nuts near the checkout counter(他们把收银处附近的糖和饼干换成了水果和坚果)”与这个试验的目的一致。故选F。
【50题详解】
空格位于段中。这一段讲述Adjoian和她同事们做的试验的结果。由空格后的these findings可知,前边至少有两项发现。空格前句意为:在那些在收银处买了东西的人当中,站在健康食品队列的人比站在不健康食品队列的人买了多于两倍的东西。这是一个发现,选项B中的“They bought unhealthy foods 40 percent less often.(他们买不健康食品的概率也降低了40%。)”与上一句句式接近,并且表达的是与上一句意思一致的一个发现,又与下句中的“these findings”呼应。故选B。
【点睛】七选五题目主要考查学生综合的英语逻辑思维能力。一篇好的短文,不仅在内容上要前后一致,而且还要语篇结构清晰,上下文逻辑意义严谨。内容的前后一致体现在段内及语篇内话题的自然过渡。语篇结构主要体现为:文章是总分结构,还是按时间或空间顺序发展的,还是辩证三段论的编排的。逻辑意义的严谨最主要的可以通过代词、连词和副词等形式来体现。例如本文中的第一题、第四题要分别借助于篇章结构和段落结构解题。第二题依据段落内空格前后语义之间的关系解题,第三题和第五题依据词汇呼应解题。这篇七选五是比较难的题目,大家要着重分析文章和段落的结构。具体解题过程看详解。
