—Sorry!________.
A. See you later B. I didn’t know that
C. Hold on,please D. I hope I didn’t bother you
【答案】D
【详解】考查情景交际。句意:——恐怕你打错电话了。——抱歉,希望没有打扰到你。听到对方说自己打错电话了,向对方道歉,用I hope I didn’t bother you.希望没有打扰对方。See you later再见;I didn’t know that我不知道那事; Hold on,please别挂电话。故选D。

C. would just pass D. has just passed
【答案】A
【详解】考查时态。句意:——既然你的车昨天在路上坏掉了,你赶上回家的火车没?——我刚好错过了最后一列。幸运的是,一个朋友刚好路过,他顺路捎了我。结合语境可知,此处表达“我”在无助的时候“朋友刚好经过”,故用进行时,又事情发生在过去,所以用过去进行时,主语a friend是第三人称单数,故用was passing, 故选A项。
3.While visiting another online bookstore, I found that most of the books in it were the same as _____ in the first one.
A. any B. ones C. those D. all
【答案】C
【详解】考查代词。句意:当浏览另一个在线书店时,我发现它里面大部分数的书和之前那个书店的书差不多。A. any任何;B. ones多个;C. those那些;D. all所有。结合句意可知,此处考查“同类异物”的指代,应用that/those,又比较的对象books是复数,故用those
指代,故选C项。
4.Fear is one of the many enemies hidden inside us, and if _____ uncontrolled, it can destroy our lives.
A. leaving B. left C. having left D. to be left
【答案】B
【详解】考查状语从句的省略。句意:恐惧是潜藏在我们身上的敌人之一,如果不控制,它会毁掉我们的生活。分析句子结构可知,此处考查状语从句的省略,其完整句子为if it is left uncontrolled(状语从句中主从句主语一致,且从句有be时,可省略从句的主语和be),句中it指代fear和leave之间是动宾关系,故用被动语态,故选B项。
【点睛】本句考查状语从句的省略
状语从句中主从句主语一致,且从句有be时,可省略从句的主语和be。例如:
When they were asked what happened, they told lies.→When asked what happened, they told lies.
If I am admitted into a college, I will be more than happy.→If admitted into a college, I will be more than happy.
5.They remained full of hope and determination _____their repeated failures.

8.After completing the training, I, together with my classmates, ____ to the town that was far from the city.
A. were sent B. was sent C. have been sent D. has been sent
【答案】B

确定定语从句关系词一般分为三步:找出先行词;分析先行词在从句中充当什么成分(确定用关系代词还是关系副词);考虑特殊情况。以本题为例:
1.找出先行词:culture
2.分析先行词在从句中充当什么成分:culture在从句 ____ it is spoken.中充当地点状语,故用关系副词。

Most of the time, travelers in foreign countries rely on public transportation to get around. But having your own car provides freedom and is especially helpful. There are a few best car rental companies in the U. S. for travelers to choose from.
Enterprise
One of the car rental industry’s most expensive providers, Enterprise’s daily price averages
close to $50. What they do well, however, might help you save money. The company reduces or gets rid of a lot of the sneaky(暗中的) additional costs that most other companies make their money from. It’s super-convenient and there are almost 6,000 locations across the U. S. You can return the car to any location.
Courtesy of National
National Car Rental, a sister company of Enterprise, excels when it comes to customer service, taking the No.2 spot in J. D. Powers’ annual report and taking a five-star score for both whole satisfaction and its book process among customers. National’s offerings and programs are aimed especially at business travelers, with companies taking advantage of the company’s business rental program, which lets employees at any sized company get cars at a fair price.
Courtesy of Hertz
Although it’s one of the largest car rental companies there--- it has more than 1,600 airport locations in the U. S. alone--- it’s definitely not the cheapest, with an average daily price of $48.50, putting it on a par with Enterprise. We love the range of cars that the company offers: There’s definitely your business-trip standards, as well as high-capacity cars for families and compact economy cars(紧凑的经济型轿车) for those on a budget.
Courtesy of Budget
Budget true to its name, has some of the cheapest car rentals in the industry, with an average rental cost of about $35/day and an extra discount--- up to 35 percent--- if you pay when you book. They also do the Mustang weekend program where you can get a free third day--- although it offers four-door full-size cars only, it’s still an offer that’s attractive to families hitting the road for a quick weekend trip.
36. If Mike rents a car from Enterprise, he _____.
A. will avoid some additional costs
B. can rent a car for a month at most
C. must return the car to the rental place

B
In one of the old buildings near our school,one could see an old man sitting by a large window on the first floor.His name was James.During the three years at schoo1, I had hardly ever found him missing from his usual position.
He was a high-ranking government official and lived happily with his wife.Once there was a bus accident,in which a number of passengers were seriously injured and were taken to the hospital for treatment.James was responsible for the rescue operation.It was a big hospital,but James was shocked to notice how ill-equipped it was.There were no enough life-saving drugs and life—supporting equipment. The injured and their companions had to struggle there.James attempted to help.However,though he emptied his pockets,many of them died that day.
That was a turning point in his life.He made a decision to devote his life to helping others,particularly the poor and needy patients and their companions.He began spending much of his income on these people.Since this required a lot of time and energy,he found it difficult to fulfill
his official duties and therefore chose to retire,which,in turn,reduced his income considerably.
His wife was deeply worried. Most of the time,James was out and paid least attention to home affairs.Meanwhile,as he was spending a lot helping others,she had to struggle even to meet the household expenses.Though she was not opposed to his helping the poor,she urged him not to overlook his own life and home,but it had no effect on him.One day they had a heated argument and in the end she left him,never to return.Though he continued with his work,this was a great blow and did serious harm to his health and enthusiasm and was soon forced to stay indoors.That was when he took his position by the window,spending his time looking outside.
A few weeks after my graduation,I returned to school,only to find the buildings gone.I heard that they were torn down.All the people left except James.He refused to go and the next morning,he was found at his usual place by the window,dead.
41. What changed James’ view towards life?
A. The difficulties in his career.
B. The deaths in the bus accident.
C. The bad conditions in the hospital.
D. The responsibilities in the operation.
42. James chose to retire in order to____________________.
A. take care of the injured passengers
B. find a better job to increase his income
C. spare more time and energy to help others
D. stay away from the difficult official duties
43. James’ wife left because_________________________.
A. she was strongly against his deeds
B. James paid too little attention to his work
C. her work to support their daily life was too tiring
D. James failed to keep a balance between charity and home
44. The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refers to ____________.
A. His decision to retire B. The departure of his wife
C. The argument with his wife D. His devotion to helping others
45. What is possibly the reason why James sat by the window every day?
A. He expected his wife to return.
B. He looked forward to going out.
C. He desired to watch the students.
D. He attempted to know the outside life.
【答案】41. C 42. C 43. D 44. B 45. A
【解析】
试题分析: 该文讲述了一个叫James的老人决心献身慈善事业,却忽略了慈善与家庭之间的平衡,以至于妻子愤而离去;受到打击的James身体从此衰弱、精神日减,终日坐于窗前等待妻子归来,直到死去。
【41题详解】

Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats, or homelands, are disappearing.
Traditional migration paths take birds through countries that are not protecting locations to stop, rest and feed. The scientists studied the migration, or flight, paths, of almost 1,500 species and decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas. The major danger for migratory birds is development in human society. Building and paving has covered over nature where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another. For example, a bird called the bar-tailed godwit migrates from its breeding grounds in the Arctic flying all the way to the southern earth in Australia and New Zealand stopping at Yellow Sea mudflats in China along the way.
One of the scientists who worked on the study says “many of these critical sites have been taken up owing to urban, industrial and agricultural expansion.” The problem, according to researchers, is that many of these small birds die along their migration because they don’t have a safe place to eat and rest to restore their energy for the next part of their journey. Countries in North Africa, Central Asia and those along the coasts of East Asia are having the most difficult time conserving land. The scientists say these countries do not have enough areas that are safe for birds. In addition, many of the sanctuaries(避难所) are not wide enough to cover the paths of migratory birds.
One species that doesn’t exist any longer is the Eskimo curlew. “Our world gets poorer every time we lose a species,” one of the scientists says. The researchers say if one country might have preserved safe zones for migratory birds while a neighboring country might not, a bird might die.
One scientist who is not involved in the report says that while some habitats are changing, more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds. He says small changes--- like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of areas birds would be likely to use--- could make a big difference.
46. Why is development in human society considered as the major danger for migratory birds?
A. Construction activities occupy birds’ paths.
B. Serious industrial pollution damages birds’ habitats.
C. Hunting activities happen more frequently.
D. Airplane flights directly harm birds’ safety.
47. What’s the current situation of protecting migratory birds?
A. Countries in East Asia don’t want to make any changes.
B. The progress still remains at the primary stage.
C. Some of the efforts of humans aren’t working well.
D. Not many countries are involved in the activities.
48. According to the researchers, __________.
A. governments need to work together and provide safe areas
B. safe zones in neighboring countries need to be combined together
C. more bird species will die out if they continue migrating through countries
D. human activities should give way to the birds when the migrating season comes
49. What can we know about the migratory birds according to the passage?
A. They always travel from the north to the south.
B. They need to stop during the migration to correct directions.
C. All of them are endangered because of lacking protection.
D. Some of them take rests or feed in cities.
50. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The migration of birds influences society development.
B. Migratory birds are dying from losing their homes.
C. Countries need to work together to protect migratory birds.
D. Protecting migratory birds is very necessary.
【答案】46. A 47. C 48. A 49. D 50. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍城市化建设和工农业发展,使得候鸟栖息地遭到严重破坏,这将直接导致大量鸟类物种的消失。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的The scientists studied the migration,or flight,paths,of almost 1,500 species and decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas. The major
danger for migratory birds is development in human society(科学家们研究了近1500个物种的迁徙或飞行路线,发现其中91%都经过了危险地带。候鸟面临的主要危险是人类社会的发展)可知人类社会的发展被认为是候鸟的主要危险是因为建筑活动占据了鸟类活动的路径。A. Construction activities occupy birds’ paths.(人类活动占据了鸟类的路径)符合以上说法,故选A项。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的One scientist who is not involved in the report says that while some habitats are changing,more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds(一位没有参与这份报告的科学家说,虽然一些栖息地正在改变,但是可以做更多的工作来保证城市地区鸟类的安全)故推测人类保护鸟类的一些努力并没有起到作用。C. Some of the efforts of humans aren’t working well.(人类的一些努力并不凑效)符合以上说法,故选C项。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的The researchers say if one country might have preserved safe zones for migratory birds while a neighboring country might not,a bird might die.(研究人员说,如果一个国家可能为候鸟保留了安全区域,而一个邻国可能没有,那么一只鸟可能会死亡)可推测各国政府需要共同努力为鸟类提供安全的区域。A. governments need to work together and provide safe areas(政府需要合作,提供安全区域)符合以上推测,故选A项。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的Building and paving has covered over nature where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another可推测候鸟中的一些在城市里休息或进食。D. Some of them take rests or feed in cities.(候鸟中的一些在城市休息或者进食)符合以上推测,故选D项。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。这是一篇说明文,其主旨大意一般在首段或者尾段。根据第一段Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats,or homelands, are disappearing(科学家表示,很大比例的鸟类物种正处于危险之中,因为它们的栖息地或家园正在消失)可知文章主要介绍了候鸟因失去家园而濒临死亡。B. Migratory birds are dying from losing their homes.(候鸟因为失去家园而濒临灭绝)可概括本文,故选B项。

When you were at school, the last thing you probably wanted to do was to spend your
weekends going to work. There was homework to do, sport to play and fun to have. But our parents probably persuaded us to find a job to earn some money and get some life experience. When I was a teenager I had a paper round: delivering newspapers to people’s homes.
Today in the UK you are allowed to work from the age of 13, and many children do take up part-time jobs. It’s one of those things that are seen almost as a rite of passage (成人仪式). It’s a taste of independence and sometimes a useful thing to put on your CV(简历). Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing their own money.
Some research has shown that not taking up a Saturday or holiday job could be deleterious to a person later on. A 2015 study by the UK Commission on Employment and Skills found that not participating in part-time work at school age had been blamed by employers’ organizations for young adults being ill-prepared for full-time employment, but despite this, recent statistics have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years.
So does this mean that British teenagers are now afraid of hard work? Probably not. Some experts feel that young people feel going out to work will affect their performance at school and they are under some pressure now to study hard and get good exam result and a good job in the long term. However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, told BBC News that “Properly regulated part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives.” In reality, it’s all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest.
Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom. One 13-year-old girl called Rachel, who has a Saturday job in a shop, told the BBC that “I enjoy my job because I’m earning money and it helps me socialize with people I work with.” That seems like something worth getting up for a Saturday morning. Did you do a part-time job when you were at school?
51. What conclusion can we draw from Para2?
A. Children over 13 in the UK must take up part-time jobs.
B. Taking up part-time jobs is good for students in many ways.
C Students taking up part-time jobs are more independent.
D. Taking up part-time jobs can help students save money.
52. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “deleterious”?
A. Threatening. B. Important.
C. Beneficial. D. Harmful.
53. Why don’t some British schoolchildren take up part-time jobs according to some experts?
A. Because they are not ready to go out to work.
B. Because they cannot endure hardships.
C. Because they want to study hard and get good academic performance.
D. Because they lack confidence and skills needed to work.
54. Which of the following will Geoff Barton agree with?
A. Students should put all their energies into their studies.
B. It is good for students to do part-time jobs as long as they are proper.
C. Students with good grades and no study pressure can do part-time jobs.
D. The more part-time jobs they do, the more beneficial it is for students.
55. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Should schoolchildren have part-time jobs?
B. What kind of part-time job should schoolchildren do?
C. What benefits can part-time jobs bring to schoolchildren?
D. Why do British schoolchildren show less interest in part-time jobs?
【答案】51. B 52. D 53. C 54. B 55. A

这是一篇议论文。本文讲述了学生兼职对学习的影响。由于担心兼职增长会影响他们的学业成绩,很多学生选择不兼职,导致兼职的人数下降。但是兼职是可以增加学生的社会经历,有利于学生增长见识。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing their own money(青少年一致认为,它教会了与成年人一起工作和管理自己的钱的宝贵经验)可知从事兼职工作在很多方面对学生有好处。B. Taking up part-time jobs is good for students in many ways.(从事兼职工作在很多方面对学生有好处)符合以上说法,故选B项。
【52题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后面not participating in part-time work at school age had been blamed by employers’ organizations(在学龄期不从事兼职工作会受到雇主组织的责备)故推测不再周六或周日做兼职工作可能对会在以后对一个人有害,即划线词的意思为“有害的”,故选D项。

Because they want to study hard and get good academic performance.(因为他们想努力学习,取得好成绩)符合以上说法,故选C项。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的Geoff Barton,general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders,told BBC News that "Properly regulated part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives." In reality,it’s all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest.(学校和学院领导协会的秘书长Geoff Barton告诉BBC新闻,"适当管理的兼职工作是帮助年轻人学习他们在工作中需要的技能的好方法。"实际上,关键是要在做兼职和有足够的时间学习和休息之间取得平衡)可知Geoff Barton 认为学生做兼职工作是好的,只要他们是适当的。B. It is good for students to do part-time jobs as long as they are proper.(对于学生来说做适当的兼职工作是好的)符合以上推测,故选B项。
【55题详解】

第三部分:写作(共两节;满分35分)
第一节 阅读表达
A few weeks ago, I came back from work and found my young daughter waiting for me in the hallway. She greeted me and laughed. As I put my bike into the house, she asked me to say the word---butterfly. So I did. “Butterfly,” I said. “Daddy,” she said, trying to prevent a laugh. “It’s pronounced butterfly, not bu-uh-fly.” It was then that I realized she asked me to pronounce the word on purpose. She was clear that the way I pronounced such words was different from hers. She ran off laughing aloud, almost as if she couldn’t believe her luck that I had fallen into her trap. This is her new trick. If I pronounce something in a way she is not familiar with, she will make her feelings known.
All of this is due to my London accent. And it is fairly obvious. Her trick first started when she asked how old I was. I told her, “I’m 37 years old.” She said, “Thur-eee? Not thur-eee. Thir-tee.” She shook her head at me in disappointment for I couldn’t get my basic pronunciation right.
My daughter’s obsession with my dropped “t”s is becoming wearing. I find myself paying attention to everything I say. And by everything, I mean e-ver-y-thing, not every-fing.
I tried to explain the concept of accents to her. Because she is growing up in Bristol, she starts to develop some strange West Country accent, like her pronunciation of the number two. It sounds like that it has an extra “w” on the end. She sometimes also adds a doing word to the end of her sentences, like “I’m going to the park, I am.” Or “Your pronunciation is funny, you do.”
She refused to accept she had an accent. She told me that she sounded like herself, which was true. But I want to make her aware of the importance of accepting that people say things in different ways and that there’s no correct way to speak. I wanted my daughter to appreciate differences, instead of wanting us all to conform to one voice.
56. What is the author’s daughter’s new trick? (no more than 12 words)
57. Why did the author speak in that way? (no more than 10 words)
58. How does the author react to her daughter’s obsession? (no more than 10 words)
59. How do you understand the underlined part in paragraph 5? (no more than 10 words)
60. What do you learn from the text? (no more than 20 words)
【答案】56. Asking/ To ask him to say words he pronounced differently from her./She asks the author to pronounce words in a way different from hers.
57. Because he had a very strong London accent./Due to his London accent.
58. He starts to pay attention to the proper pronunciation.
59. Everyone’s way of speaking is correct.
60. We should try to accept the others’ differences and learn to respect them.
【解析】
本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章,主要通过作者的女儿就作者的发音和作者开玩笑这件事说明了说话方式没有对错之分,只是方式不同。
【56题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的It was then that I realized she asked me to pronounce the word on purpose.She was clear that the way I pronounced such words was different from hers.(就在那时,我才意识到她是故意让我念这个词的。她很清楚我念这个词的方式和她不一样。她笑着跑开了,好像她不敢相信我掉进了她的陷阱,这是她的新把戏)可知作者女儿的新把戏是让作者以不同的口音来说这个词。故填Asking/ To ask him to say words he pronounced differently from her./She asks the author to pronounce words in a way different from hers.
【57题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的All of this is due to my London accent.And it is fairly obvious.(所有这些都是由于我的伦敦口音,这是相当明显的)可知是因为作者的伦敦口音很重,所以才以这样的方式说话。故填Because he had a very strong London accent./Due to his London accent.
【58题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的My daughter’s obsession with my dropped "t"s is becoming wearing.I find myself paying attention to everything I say.(我女儿对我掉下来的"t"字的迷恋正在逐渐加深,我发现自己对自己说的每一句话都很在意)可知作者开始注意到自己的发音。故填He starts to pay attention to the proper pronunciation.
【59题详解】
推理判断题。根据画线句的前半句 But I want to make her aware of the importance of accepting that people say things in different ways(但我想让她意识到接受人们用不同方式说话的重要性)可知人们说话的方式有很多种,所以画线句子there’s no correct way to speak
就是指有很多的说话方式都是没有对错之分的,只是方式不同。故填Everyone’s way of speaking is correct.
【60题详解】
个人观点题。本题是个人观点题,只要符合原文,合情合理即可。故填We should try to accept the others’ differences and learn to respect them.

【答案】Dear Mr. Woods,
How are you doing these days?
Although it has been a year since I came back to China, I still relive the thirty thrilling and
fascinating days once in a while. I owe so much to you. I know without your kindness, my stay back then would have been quite different. It is you who have opened a new world to me and taught me to see the world from different perspectives and to be grateful to people who smooth away my difficulties during that time. Looking back, never had I known a language could be taught and learnt that way, which, up to this day, remains a guide to my English learning and an inspiration for my future development.
By the way, I was wondering if I could ask you for a favour. My friend, Wang lei, is going to apply to your school this summer. Would you mind if he contacted you directly and consulted for more details about his application?
I hope you can pay a visit to China and come to my home someday when it is convenient for you.
Best regards.
Yours,
Li Jin
