【答案】1. trapped 2. to reach 3. comforted 4. with
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。记叙发生在南宁的一个在网上走红的救人事情的视频。两岁的小孩被卡在防护栏里,一位五年前的退役军人勇救小孩的经过。
【1题详解】
考查动词过去分词作形容词做表语的用法。句意:星期天,这个刚学走路的幼童一人在家,爬上了在五楼她家的阳台,然后被困在防护栏里。became后面加形容词做表语,这是一般语法规则,这里因为是动词trap,所以将动词trap用它的过去分词形式做形容词的用法改成形容词trapped,表示被困住在……。故填trapped。
【2题详解】
考查非谓语动词不定式做目的状语的用法。句意:徐宏伟(音)一名已经退役的武装警察,爬上建筑的阳台去够这个小女孩,然后用手托住她接近半个小时,以免她掉下来。这里爬上阳台的目的是去够这个女孩,以便托住她不让她掉下来。表示目的的词语使用不定式结构:to reach。故填to reach。
【3题详解】
考查动词的时态用法。句意:他安慰她说,“我和你在一起,来,爬下阳台。”这里安慰这个动词使用一般过去时态,因为整个事情记叙的是发生了的事情,是描述过去的某一事情。故填comforted。
【4题详解】
考查介词搭配的用法。句意:在其他邻居的帮助下,这个小女孩最终得救了。这里the help of….前面应该加上介词构成固定搭配表示在……的帮助下。而这个固定搭配是with the help of…。故填with。
B
阅读下列短文,根据短文内容填空,在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词,在给出提示词的 空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
Many colleges and universities support gap — year projects by permitting students to delay their admission. Experts say students can grow emotionally and intellectually ___5___ they work at something they enjoy. The Harvard admissions office has an essay on its web site called "Time Out or Burn Out for the Next Generation." ___6___ praises the idea of taking time off to step back, think and enjoy gaining life experiences outside the pressure of studies. It also notes that students sometimes ___7___ (admit) to Harvard or other colleges in part because they did something unusual with that time.
【答案】5. as/because/since 6. It 7. are admitted
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。很多大学支持休学一年再去上大学的方式,哈佛大学对此也表示支持。
【5题详解】
考查原因状语从句。句意:专家说学生可以在情感和智力上成长,因为他们从事他们喜欢的工作。分析句子可知,“they work at something they enjoy”是“students can grow emotionally and intellectually”的原因,空处应使用引导原因状语从句的连词。故填as/because/since。
【6题详解】
考查代词。句意:它表扬了休学一年再回归的想法。上文提到“哈佛大学招生办公室在自己的网站上有一篇论文”,此处指“这篇论文”表扬了休学一年再回归的想法,所以空处应使用it指代上文中的“an essay”,在句中做主语。置于句首,首字母大写。故填It。
【7题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:它也指出,有时学生被录取到哈佛大学或其他大学部分是因为他们用那些时间做了不寻常的事情。be admitted to“被......录取”为固定短语,动词admit与主语students之间是被动关系,应使用被动语态,根据时间状语“sometimes”可知应使用一般现在时,主语students是复数,故填are admitted。
C
阅读下列短文,根据短文内容填空,在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词,在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
Our school produces a lot of rubbish every day, such as leftover food, waste paper and plastic bottles, ___8___ brings a wide range of environmental problems as well as the waste of resources. Therefore, it's time we took immediate action to change the situation.
First of all, it is necessary for us to raise ___9___ (aware) of environmental protection and develop the good habit of garbage sorting. What's more, we should voluntarily differentiate recyclable rubbish from non-recyclables in our daily life.
In a word, if everyone does his bit responsibly in garbage sorting, our school ___10___(become) better and better.
【答案】8. which 9. awareness 10. will become
【解析】
这是一篇议论文,文章主要论述了我们应提高环保意识,养成垃圾分类的好习惯。
【8题详解】
考查非限定性定语从句关系词。句意:我们学校每天产生大量的垃圾,比如剩饭剩饭,废纸和塑料瓶,这带来了广泛的环境问题和资源浪费。从句是先行词的附加说明,去掉了也不会影响主句的意思,它与主句之间通常用逗号分开,故此句为非限定性定语从句。先行词指代前面的整个句子,故用关系代词which。故填which。
【9题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:首先,我们有必要提高环保意识,养成垃圾分类的好习惯。固定短语raise awareness of提高自觉性,提高意识。故此处应用aware的名词形式。故填awareness。
【10题详解】
考查if引导的条件状语从句。句意:总之,如果每个人在垃圾分类中尽自己的一份责任,我们的学校会变得越来越好。分析句子结构可知,如果从句“每个人在垃圾分类中尽自己的一份责任”发生,那么主句“我们的学校会变得越来越好”也会发生,从句为一般现在时,主句用一般将来时表示将来的情况。故填will become。
【点睛】定语从句有限制性和非限制性两种。限制性定语从句是先行词不可缺少的部分,去掉它主句意思往往不明确;非限制性定语从句是先行词的附加说明,去掉了也不会影响主句的意思,它与主句之间通常用逗号分开,将非限定性定语从句放在句子中间,其前后都需要用逗号隔开。例如,第1小题,从句是先行词的附加说明,去掉了也不会影响主句的意思,它与主句之间通常用逗号分开,故此句为非限定性定语从句,先行词指代前面的整个句子,故用关系代词which。故填 which。

For or Against?—That Is the Question
Andy is the most unreasonable and he makes me so angry that I could even scream
sometimes! Of course, I sort of have to love him because he is my twin brother. Andy and Amy (that is me) have the same curly hair and dark eyes and are equally stubborn. Yet, on most issues we usually take opposite positions.
Just this week in our school, there was a heated discussion on whether to adopt a school dress code. Every student would be required to wear a uniform. The teachers are divided: Some are in favor of the uniforms while others are opposed. The principal has asked the students to express their opinions by voting on the issue before decisions are made. But she will have the final word on the dress code.
I think a dress code is a good idea. The reason is simple. The less I have to decide first thing in the morning, the better. I can't tell you how many mornings I look into my closet and just stare, unable to decide what to wear.
Andy is shocked at my opinion. Last night, he even dragged out my parents' high school photo albums to show me how brilliant they looked without uniforms! He also declared, "Bruce Springsteen never wore a school uniform. Bob Dylan wouldn't have been caught dead in a school uniform! Besides, when I am feeling political, I want to be able to wear clothes made of natural, undyed fibers, sewn or assembled in countries that do not pollute the environment or exploit child labor. If I have to wear a uniform, I won't feel like me!"
To that I replied, "So your personal heroes didn't wear school uniforms. But they went to high school about a million years ago! I feel sorry for you since I had no idea that your ego(自我)is so fragile that it would be completely destroyed by a uniform." That really made him angry and he shouted, "You're just copying what you hear that new music teacher saying because you are crazy about him!"
Fortunately, the bell rang before we could do each other physical harm, and we went to our separate classes. The vote for or against uniforms took place later that day. The results of the vote and the principal's decision will be announced next week. I wonder what it will be. I know how I voted, and I'm pretty sure I know how Andy voted. How would you vote---for or against?
31. Amy and Andy often get angry with each other because ______ .
A. they're both stubborn B. they like different teachers
C. they always hold different views D. they don't like each other very much
32. Amy holds the idea that ______.
A. school clothing should reflect parents' values
B. teenagers should never follow the latest clothing fashion
C. the way one dresses should be an expression of one's personality
D. wearing school uniforms means one makes less decision every morning
33. Who will decide whether the students should wear uniforms?
A. The principal. B. Their parents.
C. Their teachers. D. Students themselves.
34. In Paragraph 5, Amy aims to say that ______.
A. Andy shouldn't look up to his heroes so much
B. our clothes should decide people's attitudes towards us
C. Andy's lack of self-confidence is reflected in his clothing
D. our clothes shouldn't determine how we feel about ourselves
【答案】31. C 32. D 33. A 34. D
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了,Andy和Amy虽是双胞胎,但他们在许多问题上通常采取相反的立场,例如在是否采用校服规定的问题上有争执。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段中的“Yet, on most issues we usually take opposite positions.”(然而,在大多数问题上,我们通常采取相反的立场。),可知他们经常互相生气是因为他们总是持有不同的观点。故选C项。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段中的“The less I have to decide first thing in the morning, the better. I can't tell you how many mornings I look into my closet and just stare, unable to decide what to wear.”(我早上第一件事做决定的时间越少越好。我无法告诉你有多少个早晨我在衣橱里看了看,却无法决定该穿什么。),可推断出Andy认为穿校服意味着一个人每天早上做的决定更少。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“The principal has asked the students to express their opinions by voting on the issue before decisions are made. But she will have the final word on the dress
code.”(校长要求学生们在作出决定前就这个问题进行表决,以表达他们的意见。但她对着装要求有最终决定权。),可知校长决定学生们是否应该穿校服。故选A项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。由第五段中的“I feel sorry for you since I had no idea that your ego(自我)is so fragile that it would be completely destroyed by a uniform.”(我为你感到遗憾,因为我不知道你的自我如此脆弱,以至于会被制服彻底摧毁。),可推断出Amy想告诉Andy,我们穿的校服并不应该决定我们对自己的看法。故选D项。
B
Video chat is now the go-to outlet for many social distancers longing for social interaction. But having a successful fete isn't only a question of hopping on camera with friends and kicking off. Social grace is a big part of a successful virtual party — and etiquette doesn't go out the door just because you're in your pajamas in front of a camera.
Introduce everyone to the group
Gone are the days during which you can introduce yourself to new people at your leisure. Instead, the second you click 'Join Meeting', you're pushed in front of potentially dozens of faces staring straight at you.
This is particularly problematic if not everyone on the call knows each other — Zoom itself recommends short ice-breaking sessions for everyone to introduce themselves on meetings.
"I like to use the wait room," says Tamiko Zablith, founder of Minding Manners International. "For security reasons, it means outsiders don't come crashing into your meeting. But also, you can let people come in one at a time, and then you can take that time to introduce them to the group as well."
Learn the art of the pause
Another wildly confusing thing about Zoom parties: everyone has to talk one at a time. There's no chance for small groups to organically form, for joking talk to fill a room, or for guests to talk at the same time. The whole group, no matter how large, can only listen to one person at a time.
That's why putting pauses in your speech is critical, especially since low internet speeds or weird audio may mean it's easy for someone to talk over someone else, drowning out what they have to say to the group.
"If the internet is a bit unreliable, you have those unstable signals. If I keep rambling, and the
other person starts, there's that delay," says Zablith. "Work those pauses into your conversation."
Know when to change backgrounds
Using Zoom's backgrounds can actually be a courtesy to eliminate distractions behind you.
Hiding those dirty dishes or pizza boxes, or obscuring other members of the household coming and going, eliminates distractions and makes the other people feel like they're getting your full attention.
"Wouldn't it be better if that distraction just wasn't there?" Zablith says, pointing to the advantage of virtual backgrounds being able to hide anything unsightly behind you. For others, virtual backgrounds also provide a sense of comfort or normalcy to the audience.
35. According to the passage, which of the following is considered impolite?
A. To introduce everyone individually to the group.
B. To use virtual backgrounds to avoid distraction.
C. To put several pauses in your online speech.
D. To keep silent when joining in the meeting.
36. According to Tamiko Zablith, ______.
A. Internet speed matters little in Zoom parties
B. the wait room makes it easy to introduce everybody
C. for some, real room background has a comforting effect
D. pauses in speaker's conversation may delay the conference
37. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To attract more people to use Zoom.
B. To explain how to maintain social manners.
C. To offer guidance on Zoom social etiquette.
D. To compare online meetings with offline ones.
【答案】35. D 36. B 37. C
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了视频聊天现在是许多渴望社交互动的社交人士的必经之路,但也要注意参加虚拟派对的社交风度,文章给出了一些社交礼仪指导。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段的“This is particularly problematic if not everyone on the call knows each
other — Zoom itself recommends short ice-breaking sessions for everyone to introduce themselves on meetings.”(如果与会的每个人都不认识对方,这就会产生问题—Zoom公司建议大家在会议上做简短的打破僵局的自我介绍。),可知大家在Zoom party上要进行简短的打破僵局的环节来自我介绍,可推断出参加Zoom party时一直沉默是不礼貌的。故选D项。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。由Introduce everyone to the group的“But also, you can let people come in one at a time, and then you can take that time to introduce them to the group as well.”(但同时,你可以让人们一次一个人进来,然后你也可以花时间把他们介绍给小组其它成员。),可知等候室很容易介绍每个人。故选B项。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段尾句“Social grace is a big part of a successful virtual party — and etiquette doesn't go out the door just because you're in your pajamas in front of a camera.”(社交风度是成功的虚拟派对的重要组成部分,而礼仪并不是仅仅因为你在摄像机前穿着睡衣就出门了。)和黑体字小标题“Introduce everyone to the group”(把每个人介绍给小组),“Learn the art of the pause”(学习停顿的艺术),“Know when to change backgrounds”(知道什么时候改变背景),可推断出本文的目的在于提供Zoom party的社交礼仪指导。故选C项。
C
Traveler
My fifteen-year-old son has just returned from abroad with rolls of exposed film and a hundred dollars in uncashed traveler’s checks, and is asleep at the moment.His blue duffel(粗呢) bag lies on the floor where he dropped it.Obviously, he postponed as much sleep as he could: when he walked in and we hugged, his electrical system suddenly switched off, and he headed directly for the bed, where I imagine he beat his old record of sixteen hours.
It was his first trip overseas, so weeks before it, I pressed travel books on him, and a tape cassette of useful French phrases; drew up a list of people to visit; advised him on clothing and other things.At the luggage store where we went to buy him a suitcase, he headed for the duffels, saying that suitcases were more for old people.
During the trip, he called home three times: from London, Paris, and a village named Ullapool.Near Ullapool, he climbed a mountain in a rainstorm that almost blew him off.In the village, a man spoke to him in Gaelic, and, too polite to interrupt, my son listened to him for ten or
fifteen minutes, trying to nod in the right places.The French he learned from the cassette didn’t hold water in Paris.The French he talked to shrugged and walked on.
When my son called, I sat down at the kitchen table and leaned forward and hung on every word. His voice came through clearly, though two of the calls were like ship-to-shore communication.When I interrupted him with a “Great!” or a “Really?”, I knocked a little hole in his communication.So I just sat and listened. I have never listened to a telephone so attentively and with so much pleasure.It was wonderful to hear news from him that was so new to me.In my book, he was the first man to land on the moon, and I knew that I had no advice to give him and that what I had already given was probably not much help.
The unused checks are certainly evidence of that.Youth travels light.No suitcase, not much luggage and a slim expense account, and yet he went to the scene, and came back safely.I sit here amazed.The night when your child returns with dust on his shoes from a country you’ve never seen is a night you would gladly turn into a week.
38. During the trip, the author’s son ______.
A. ran out of money
B. had inadequate sleep
C. forgot to call his mother
D. failed to take good pictures
39. According to the passage, which of the following could best describe the author’s son?
A. Polite and careless.
B. Creative and stubborn.
C. Considerate and independent.
D. Self-centered and adventurous.
40. What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. It is important to listen to your child’s story.
B. It’s easy to interrupt the chat with your child.
C. The author is proud of her son landing on the moon.
D. The son no longer needs much help from his mother.
41. What can we infer from the passage?
A Good parents should protect their children from potential dangers.
B. The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.
C. It’s a win-win choice to give a child space to experience and explore.
D. Communication between parents and children is extremely important.
【答案】38. B 39. C 40. D 41. C
【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了作者十五岁儿子的旅行,同时介绍了旅行中所发生的事情,作者认为给予自己孩子足够的自由空间让他们自己去经历和体验是一种双赢的选择。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的My fifteen-year-old son has just returned from abroad with rolls of exposed film and a hundred dollars in uncashed traveler’s checks, and is asleep at the moment,可知作者的儿子刚旅游回到家的蒙头大睡了,因此可推断他在旅游的过程中缺乏睡眠,故B选项正确。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的too polite to interrupt, my son listened to him for ten or fifteen minutes,由此可推断作者的儿子的其中一个性格是considerate(体贴的,考虑周全的);又根据文章说作者的儿子自己去旅行,很多事情都一个人去处理,也可推断他是一个独立的(independent)的人。结合各个选项的意思,可知选C。
【40题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词的所在的句子中的上一句的内容In my book, he was the first man to land on the moon, and I knew that I had no advice to give him and that what I had already given was probably not much help.,可知上一句所说的是作者作为家长实际上也没有给到他儿子多少的建议和意见,由此分析,可知选D正确。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。纵观全文,根据作者对他儿子这次去旅游之前,去的时候给家里打电话以及回来之后的一连串的分析和思考,可知作者认为给予自己孩子足够的自由空间让他们自己去经历和体验是一种双赢的选择,故选C

The cancer death rate in the U.S. fell by the most on record as advances in treatments for lung tumors (肿瘤) like video-assisted surgery helped prolong the lives of patients.
The death rate from cancer has been gradually declining for 26 years, thanks in large part to fewer people smoking cigarettes. But from 2016 to 2017, the most recent period available, it dropped by 2.2%, the most ever in a single year, according to a report released Wednesday by the American Cancer Society. That compares with an average 1.5% yearly decline over the decade. The drop translates to roughly 2.9 million fewer cancer deaths than would have occurred had death rates remained at their peak. For lung cancer specifically, the death rate declined 4.3% annually from 2013 to 2017.
"It is really lung cancer that is driving this," said Rebecca Siegel, scientific director of surveillance research at the American Cancer Society, and lead author on the new study. "We found increases in survival for lung cancer at every stage in diagnosis.”, She attributed the lower deaths to improvements in treatments, including video-assisted surgery that enables more patients with early lung tumors to become eligible for operations; more precise radiation treatment; and better scanning technology that allows doctors to better assess the stage of tumor, so the patient gets the best treatment right away. At later stages of illness, new, targeted drugs that aim at specific disease-causing genes are helping patients whose tumors have those genetic flaws (缺陷).Overall, lung cancer death rates have dropped by 51% for men since their peak in 1990, and by 26% for women since their peak in 2002.
There's the potential for more progress in future reports. That's because the latest death-rate statistics go only through 2017, and likely don't include the potential impact in lung cancer death from immune-therapy drugs. They became widely used in lung cancer only in the past few years.
The report, based on U.S. government data, isn't all good news. Prostate (前列腺)cancer death rates have leveled off recently after a period of decline. That may be because many doctors pulled back on using the controversial prostate-specific antigen test, or PSA, which can spot the disease but can lead to over-treatment of men who may never have died from their tumors.
"Though it was definitely causing harm, it was also contributing to declines in death," Siegel said. What's needed now is better screening tests to detect only the prostate cancers that will go on to cause harm.
Population death rates are considered one of the most reliable ways of measuring progress in cancer treatment and prevention. By contrast cancer survival rates can sometimes be influenced by
improvements in diagnosing tiny, early stage tumors that wouldn't necessarily be deadly.
42. According to Paragraph 2, ______.
A. cancer death rate reached its peak in 2017
B. death rate decreases over the past 2 decades
C. 2.9 million people die of cancer in America every year
D. most of the cancer patients in America suffer from lung cancer
43. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. female death rate of lung cancer drops more than that of male
B. targeted drugs have led to rapid increase in cancer death rates
C. better scanning technology will lead to improvement in treating genetic flaws
D. improper use of prostate-specific antigen test can lead to over-treatment of men
44. The underlined expression "level off” in Paragraph 5 means ______.
A. remain unchanged B. show up
C take off D. become sharp
45. What might be the best title of the passage?
A. Medical Progress Prolonging Patients’ Lives
B. Cancer Death Rates Dropping at the Fastest Pace
C. Significant Improvement in Treating Lung Cancer
D. Advanced Technologies Applied in Cancer Treatment
【答案】42. B 43. D 44. A 45. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。近年来美国癌症死亡率以最快的速度下降,文章主要分析了其原因。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“The death rate from cancer has been gradually declining for 26 years, thanks in large part to fewer people smoking cigarettes.”可知,癌症死亡率在26年连续下降,大部分是由于更少的人吸烟。所以B项“在过去的20年死亡率下降”表述正确。故选B项。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段最后两句“…using the controversial prostate-specific antigen test, or PSA, which can spot the disease but can lead to over-treatment of men who may never have died
from their tumors.”可知,使用有争议的前列腺特异抗原测试可以发现疾病,但是会导致男性的过度治疗。故选D项。
【44题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段内容“That may be because many doctors pulled back on using the controversial prostate-specific antigen test, or PSA, which can spot the disease but can lead to over-treatment of men who may never have died from their tumors.”可知,很多医生放弃使用有争议的前列腺特异抗原测试,它可以发现疾病但是可能导致对可能永远不会死于肿瘤的男性的过度治疗。由此可推知,放弃使用能发现疾病的测试会导致死亡率不再下降,所以“Prostate (前列腺)cancer death rates have leveled off recently after a period of decline.”的意思是“前列腺癌死亡率在一段时间的下降后最近保持平稳”,“leveled off”意为“保持不变”。故选A项。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段“The cancer death rate in the U.S. fell by the most on record…(美国癌症死亡率有史以来降幅最大……)”是文章的主题句,结合全文内容可知,本文主要讲述了美国死亡率近年来下降最快并分析了其原因。所以短文的最佳标题为“癌症死亡率以最快的速度下降”。故选B项。
