阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Indonesia has said the country would be removing its capital city, in part because it's sinking into the Java Sea. Jakarta is one of the fastest sinking cities in the world, according to the World Economic Forum, due to rising sea levels and the over-extraction of groundwater. But it isn't the only city in trouble. Here's a look at some others that are also at risk.
Houston
Houston has been sinking for decades and, like Jakarta, the over-extraction of groundwater is partly to blame.
The Houston Chronicle reported that parts of Harris County, which contains Houston, have sunk between 10 and 12 feet (about 3 meters), since the 1920s, according to data from the US Geological Survey. Areas have continued to fall as much as 2 inches per year, an amount that can quickly add up.
Lawmakers have tried to address the issue, creating a special purpose district meant to regulate the withdrawal of groundwater in 1975. But the problem has persisted, with privately owned wells and water suppliers continuing to pull from aquifers (蓄水层).
Lagos
The city of Lagos sits on the coast of Nigeria, constructed partly on the mainland, partly on some
- 21 -
nearby islands. It's also Africa's most populous city. Its geography makes Lagos especially easily flooded, and the coastline has already been eroding. As sea levels rise due to global warming, the city is increasingly at risk.
One study from 2012 revealed that, because Nigeria's coastline is so low, a sea level rise of just 3 to 9 feet (about 1 to 3 meters) "will have a catastrophic effect on the human activities in these regions."
Washington
Washington is one of the most important cities in the US — and it's also sinking. Research from 2015 showed that America's capital will drop more than 6 inches (15 centimeters) in the next 100 years.
But unlike Jakarta, Washington's sinking has nothing to do with aquifers or rising sea levels — it's actually because of an ice sheet from the last ice age. A mile-high ice sheet pushed land beneath the Chesapeake Bay upward. When the ice sheet melted, thousands of years ago, the land settled back down. The researchers now believe that the area is gradually sinking, a process that could last thousands of years.
1. What is the common reason for the sinking between Houston and Jakarta?
A. the soft land B. rising sea level
C. the eroding coastline D. over-extraction of groundwater
2. What does the writer’s attitude towards the result of Huston lawmakers addressing the sinking problems?
A. positive B. indifferent
C. unknown D. negative
3. Which of the following sinking cities has a striking different reason with others?
A. Houston B. Lagos
C. Washington D. Jakarta
【答案】1. D 2. D 3. C
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了根据世界经济论坛的数据,由于海平面上升和地下水过度开采,雅加达是全球下沉速度最快的城市之一。但它并不是唯一陷入困境的城市,文章还说明了Houston、Lagos以及Washington三个城市下沉的原因。
【1题详解】
- 21 -
细节理解题。根据Houston部分中Houston has been sinking for decades and, like Jakarta, the over-extraction of groundwater is partly to blame.可知,数十年来,休斯顿一直在下沉,与雅加达一样,地下水的过度开采也是部分原因。由此可知,休斯顿和雅加达之间下沉的共同原因是地下水过度开采。故选D。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据Houston部分中 But the problem has persisted, with privately owned wells and water suppliers continuing to pull from aquifers (蓄水层).可知,但问题依然存在,私人拥有的水井和供水商继续从含水层抽水。由此可推知,作者对休斯顿立法者解决下沉问题的结果持反对态度。故选D。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Washington部分中But unlike Jakarta, Washington's sinking has nothing to do with aquifers or rising sea levels — it's actually because of an ice sheet from the last ice age.可知,但与雅加达不同的是,华盛顿的下沉与含水层或海平面上升没有任何关系——事实上,这是由于上个冰河时代形成的冰原。由此可知,华盛顿的下沉原因与其他城市明显不同。故选C。
B
Daban town is famous for girls and windmills, while Loulan is a myth (神话) in the desert. Two thousand years ago, beside the beautiful Luobu Lake, there lay Loulan ancient city of the Silk Road. Businessmen from every country gathered here and there were lots of dancing parties. Everything shows that people in Loulan lived a rich life then.
However, two thousand years later, this rich land suddenly disappeared from the map of China. It became an area covered with sand and dead tree trunks.
Loulan was first “discovered” by a Swedish man named Sven Hedin in 1900, and people from America, Britain, Japan and Sweden all set foot here. Then in the 1930s, a Chinese named Huang Wenbi came to Loulan for the first time. He visited and studied this area and found many relics that were beautifully and carefully made. It is recorded that the ancient city of Loulan was the capital of the Loulan Kingdom during the Han and Jin Dynasties, and covered an area of some 10,000 square kilometres. Inside the city, there are the ruins of government offices, temples and other old buildings. Outside the city there are some driedup rivers and much farmland. In the past century many things have been dug up there including Han Dynasty coins, mirrors and many others of Greek and Roman times. All these things show that a lot of business between the East and the West once took place there.
- 21 -
Lying on the northwest of the Lop Nur area, the Loulan Kingdom is now a lifeless area with endless “forests” of mounds (小丘) which aren't easily seen in other parts of the world. Its mystery has been attracting many people from many countries.
4. The first person setting foot in Loulan in the 20th century was ________.
A. a European B. an American
C. a Chinese D. a Japanese

A. there was no government in that area
B. people from America and Japan had been there
C. a lifeless area with lots of mounds could be easily seen there

D. How Loulan ancient city disappeared is still unknown to us.
7 What makes so many people visit the Loulan Kingdom now?

Your colleague’s sharp comment keeps replaying in your mind. Two of your students are trapped in a “he said/she said” battle. When you reflect on your emotional reactions, you sometimes get caught up in cycles of negative feelings, which can make you feel even worse. If so, the answer may lie in a skill called “self-distancing”,the ability to take a step back and view yourself more objectively. According to a research, when people adopt self-distancing while discussing a difficult event, they make better sense of their reactions, experience less emotional suffering, and display fewer signs of stress.
But what might self-distancing look like in action? Consider a typical “he said/she said” student conflict where they are each focusing on their own feelings. One is thinking,“I can’t believe he did that to me.” And another insists, “She really hurt my feelings.” However, if you ask them to take the self-distancing, they might step outside of themselves and ask broader questions: “Why was he so hurt in this situation?” or “How did her anger affect him?”
Although this approach may sound too simple to be effective, studies indicate that a change in point of view can have a powerful effect on the way people think, feel, and behave. Here are several different techniques you can try.
First,consider how a thoughtful friend might respond after quietly observing their situation. Besides, avoid using the pronoun “I”. Focus on using third-person pronouns, he, she, they, and they were able to see the stressful event as challenging rather than threatening. Finally, ask yourself, “How would I feel about this one week from now or ten years from now?” This form of mental time travel may be effective because our attention is directed away from our immediate, concrete circumstances.
- 21 -
8. What is self-distancing?
A. Getting stuck in negative emotions. B. A stressful situation.
C A study on relieving emotional stress. D. Reflecting on yourself objectively.
9. Paragraph 2 is developed by____.
A. example B. definition
C. classification D. process
10. Which of the following statement uses the techniques of self-distancing?
A. I’m angry with him.
B. How I wish I could go back to the past!
C. How did these two people get to this point?
D. He grabbed my notes, and then, and then...
11. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Why Self-distancing Matters
B. The Application of Self-distancing
C. Breaking the Cycle of Negative Reflection
D. Ways to Reflect on Emotional Reactions
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍的是一种有助于打破消极循环的技巧——自我疏远。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“the ability to take a step back and view yourself more objectively”可知,自我疏远指的是客观地反思自己,故D项正确。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Consider a typical “he said/she said” student conflict where they are each focusing on their own feelings.”及“However, if you ask them to take the self-distancing, they might step outside of themselves and ask broader questions: “Why was he so hurt in this situation?” or “How did her anger affect him?””可知,本段以学生冲突为例说明了自我疏远在实际行动中的应用,因此本段是通过举例的手法展开的,故A项正确。
【10题详解】
- 21 -
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Besides, avoid using the pronoun “I”. Focus on using third-person pronouns, he, she, they,”可知,避免使用代词“我”,专注于使用第三人称代词他、她或他们,故C项(这两个人是怎么走到这一步的?)正确。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。结合本文内容,尤其是根据第一段中的“When you reflect on your emotional reactions, you sometimes get caught up in cycles of negative feelings, which can make you feel even worse. If so, the answer may lie in a skill called “self-distancing””可知,当你反思自己的情绪反应时,你有时会陷入消极情绪的循环,如果是这样,答案可能是一种叫自我疏远的技巧,由此可知本文介绍的是打破消极循环的技巧——自我疏远,故C项正确。
【点睛】说明文的主旨大意题的难度较大,抓住文章第一段是关键,例如本篇第4题,根据第一段中的“When you reflect on your emotional reactions, you sometimes get caught up in cycles of negative feelings, which can make you feel even worse. If so, the answer may lie in a skill called “self-distancing””可知,当你反思自己的情绪反应时,你有时会陷入消极情绪的循环,如果是这样,答案可能是一种叫自我疏远的技巧,由此可知本文介绍的是打破消极循环的技巧——自我疏远,而不是自我疏远的应用或自我疏远的重要性。

Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms. Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experience. Keep on reading to know all those amazing powers of music.
A recent study suggests that preterm (早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music. Experts led by Dr. Manoj Kumar of the University of Alberta, Canada, found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests. It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during operations.
Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems. Music can help recover from brain injuries. As a different and effective treatment, doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain responsible for these two functions. When people with neurological (神经的) disorders hear a musical beat, it helps them to regain a balanced walk.
Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it really can stave off the loss of hearing. There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians. Participants were asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians, and this difference gets
- 21 -
clearer with age. This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician, even in a noisy environment.
Besides, music mends a broken heart. It is not about a thrown-away love, but about a heart attack. The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate, and reducing anxiety. Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular (心血管的) system.
12. How does music affect preterm babies?
A. It helps reduce their pain.
B. It helps develop their potential in music.
C. It helps improve their hearing systems.
D. It helps repair their neurological systems.
13. What does the underlined phrase “stave off” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Lead to
B. Increase
C. Prevent
D. Break into
14. Why can music mend a broken heart?
A. It has a positive effect on human body systems’ work.
B. It can help people prevent diseases caused by anxiety.
C. It helps make a person feel optimistic about life.
D. It can help patients recover in a slow way.
15. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Who can benefit from music
B. The best time to listen to music
C. The way to choose quality music
D. How music affects our mind and body
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文,主要说明了音乐对人大脑和心理的所能够产生的积极影响。
- 21 -
【12题详解】
细节理解题。第二段第一句“A recent study suggests that preterm (早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music.”可知最近的一项研究表明,早产儿在听音乐时,似乎经历的痛苦更少,吃得更多。故音乐可以帮助早产儿减少痛苦,故选A。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。划线部分第四段第一句“Participants were asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians, and this difference gets clearer with age. This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician, even in a noisy environment.”可知,音乐家比非音乐家听到的声音好,而且这种差异随着年龄的增长而越来越明显。这意味着,即使在嘈杂的环境中,70岁的音乐家的听觉也比50岁的非音乐家强。所以通过下文语境可以判断出,stave off意思为“预防;阻止”。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。最后一段最后一句“Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions, improves the movement of blood, and expands blood vessels, thus, promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular (心血管的) system.”可知听高质量的音乐可以产生积极的情绪,促进血液运动,扩张血管,从而促进整个心血管系统的快速恢复。所以为什么音乐能治愈一颗破碎的心 是因为它对人体系统的工作有积极的影响。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,主要说明了音乐对人身体和心理的影响。所以短文的最佳标题为“音乐如何影响我们的身心”。故选D。

【36题详解】
考查时态。句意:2018年10月16日,微软两位联合创始人之一保罗·g·艾伦(Paul G. Allen)因癌症去世,享年65岁。根据语境On Oct.16, 2018可知,应是一般过去时。故填died。

考查固定句式。句意:说到微软,我们首先想到的是该公司的另一位联合创始人比尔·盖茨。when it comes to… 固定句式,意为“当谈及……”。故填it。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:然而,艾伦对公司的创立同样重要。分析可知,本句与前一句为转折关系,应用转折副词however。故填However。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:然而,艾伦对公司的创立同样重要。to 为介词之后应用名词形式。故填creation。
【40题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:他对科学方面的东西很满意,而盖茨更擅长商业。分析可知,本句中将Allen与Gates进行对比,前一句中的形容词“quieter”暗指比较含义,因此所填空应用比较级。故填better。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语。句意:微型计算机是设计用于家庭的小型计算机。分析可知,___6___ (design)to be used in the home应是之前名词small computers 的后置定语,动词design与其之间为被动关系,应用过去分词形式。故填designed。
【42题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意:不过,他们缺少的是一个操作系统,而这正是微软的切入点。分析可知,___7___ they lacked为主语从句,从句中动词lacked缺少宾语,应用引导词what。故填What。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:微软的重大突破出现在1980年,当时微软开发了MS-DOS操作系统。分析可知,___8___ Microsoft created the MS-DOS operating system. Later came Windows 应是之前时间名词1980的定语从句,先行词在从句中作时间状语,应用关系副词when引导。故填when。
【44题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:艾伦去世后,比尔·盖茨发表声明赞扬了艾伦。分析可知,此空应是动词不定式表目的。故可填to praise。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:甚至在高中时,在大多数人还不知道个人电脑是什么之前,保罗就预言芯片将变得超级强大,并最终催生出一个全新的产业。分析可知,副词修饰动词短语“give rise
- 21 -
to”,在句中作状语。故填eventually。
【点睛】语法填空之非谓语好判断
非谓语形式在语法填空题中考查多为作定语或作状语形式比较多。判断方法如下:第一步,首先判断句中已经存在谓语;第二步,根据位置判断非谓语的句子成分;第三步,判断主被动关系,选择现在分词形式还是过去分词形式。比如文章第6小题:
Microcomputers were small computers ___6___ (design)to be used in the home.
第一步,句中存在谓语“were”;第二步,“___6___ (design)to be used in the home”结构在名词之后,应是后置定语;第三步,与名词small computers之间为被动关系,应用过去分词。因此答案为designed。

“Oh! Too bad!” everybody said. “Mr. Plumbean will have to paint his house again.”
So Mr. Plumbean got some blue paint and some white paint, and that night he got busy. He painted at night because it was cooler. When the paint was gone, the roof was blue. The walls were white.

In the morning the other people on the street came out of their houses. Their houses were all the same. But Mr. Plumbean's house was like a rainbow. It was like a jungle. It was like an explosion. There was the big orange splot. And there were little orange splots. There were stripes. There were
