London's skyline is justly famous for the different buildings that can be seen such as the Post Office Tower, the “Gherkin” and the Tower of London, to name just a few. Finally, there is Big Ben and the House of Parliament where the government is based. England does have a monarchy (君主) but it is really the government that is in power. London is particularly great on 5th November when we celebrate Guy Fawkes Night. This was the night in 1605 when Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Parliament. On that night every year the sky around London is full of fireworks.‎ Yoshi: Because our country is a group of islands, most of our food comes from the sea and we are particularly famous for our raw fish. Noodles and rice are also important. Japanese food has changed very little through the ages. For example, it is still considered correct to eat with chopsticks instead of a knife and a fork. It is also expected that before we staff eating we say “itadakimasu”. We even say it to ourselves when we are alone. English people can find this strange when eating with us. There is no translation really, the best being “I shall receive”, but that doesn't mean much I suppose.‎ Helen: The Isles of Scilly is not really a different country but it certainly has a different way of life and that life is controlled by the world around us. Our islands are not very inviting. They are very rocky with lots of hills and valleys and it is almost impossible to get away from the sea. It is also very,‎ - 28 -‎ ‎ very windy here because it is the place where the Atlantic begins. However, it is also very beautiful and the summers are great. On the Isles of Scilly we believe in living close to nature. We still live a quite traditional life on the island and we take great care to preserve the natural character of the islands.‎ ‎1. The author writes the passage to .‎ A. provide tourist information B. introduce various cultures C. attract more students from overseas D. explain some historical events ‎2. What happened in London in 1605?‎ A. Guy Fawkes set off fireworks in parliament.‎ B. People began to celebrate Guy Fawkes Night.‎ C. The Parliament narrowly escaped being exploded.‎ D. The sky around London was full of fireworks on 5th November.‎ ‎3. Yoshi tells about Japanese culture mainly through their .‎ A. food B. architecture C. climate D. religion ‎4. What does Helen say about the Isles of Scilly?‎ A. It is rich in natural resources.‎ B. People there like to invite visitors to their homes.‎ C. It has quite a few scenic spots.‎ D. People there enjoy living close to the nature.‎ ‎【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 4. D ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章中作者主要通过三个不同国家的人，描述他们自己国家的文化，来介绍世界上的多种不同文化。‎ ‎【1题详解】‎ 推理判断题。通读文章可知，George主要讲述伦敦城市文化；Yoshi主要讲述日本食物文化； Helen - 28 -‎ 主要讲述锡利群岛上人们喜欢亲近大自然的生活方式。可推测出，作者写这篇文章就是为了介绍多种不同的文化。B. introduce various cultures (介绍多种文化) 符合题意。故选B项。‎ ‎【2题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段中London is particularly great on 5th November when we celebrate Guy Fawkes Night. This was the night in 1605 when Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Parliament. (伦敦在11月5日庆祝Guy Fawkes Night时特别好。在1605年的晚上Guy Fawkes试图炸毁议会)可知，Guy Fawkes只是试图炸了议会，但是并没有炸成功。C. The Parliament narrowly escaped being exploded. (议会险些被炸毁) 符合题意。故选C项。‎ ‎【3题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段中Because our country is a group of islands, most of our food comes from the sea and we are particularly famous for our raw fish. Noodles and rice are also important. Japanese food has changed very little through the ages. (因为我们的国家是一群岛屿，大部分的食物来自海洋，我们尤其以我们的生鱼闻名。面条和米饭也很重要。这些年来日本食物变化不大)可知，Yoshi通过食物来讲述日本文化。故选A项。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 细节理解题。On the Isles of Scilly we believe in living close to nature. We still live a quite traditional life on the island and we take great care to preserve the natural character of the islands. (在Isles of Scilly群岛上，我们相信亲近大自然。我们仍然在岛上过着非常传统的生活，我们非常注意保护岛屿的自然特征)可知，当地人们喜欢岛上的大自然生活。D. People there enjoy living close to the nature. (人们喜欢亲近大自然的生活) 符合题意。故选D项。‎ B Russia has announced that it is developing a specialized washing machine for astronauts to use in space. The announcement came from a missile, spaceship and space station manufacturer RKK.‎ Normal washing machines require gravity to function, not to mention significant amounts of water that has to be stored somewhere and increases weight — they are not suitable for space missions (任务). This means that astronauts cannot wash their clothes and either have to pack enough for their whole trip or rely on costly resupply missions and throw used items into space.‎ - 28 -‎ Crewmembers taking part in long-term missions on the International Space Station (ISS) often end up wearing the same garments for several continuous days and just change into new ones when they get dirty. Aside from this issue, wearing dirty clothes can be uncomfortable for the astronauts and could also provide perfect conditions for dangerous bacteria to grow and spread.‎ RKK has previously outlined plans for a space washing machine in a Russian space industry journal paper published in 2017. In the paper, the authors estimated (估计) that 1,450 pounds of clothes are surprisingly transported to the ISS every year to cover the requirements of just three astronauts. And this quantity could increase to three tons for a two-year voyage to Mars involving six crewmembers and could increase the costs and complexity of a mission.‎ The Russian scientists said that, instead of water, the washing machine would use the carbon dioxide produced by the astronauts’ breathing in the spaceship. Special technology would then turn the gas into a liquid under high pressure in order to clean the clothes.‎ The Russian designs are not the first proposals for a space washing machine. NASA has previously made a model of a low-power, low-water washing device (设备) which was designed to work in the microgravity of low-Earth orbit or that of the moon or Mars.‎ ‎5. Normal washing machines are not suitable in the spaceship mainly because __________.‎ A. they lead to serious space pollution B. they make some bacteria spread C. they require gravity to function D. they increase the weight of the spaceship ‎6. What might be the biggest advantage of the specialized washing machine?‎ A. Helping astronauts dry their clothes.‎ B. Having a competition against NASA.‎ C. Making the missions cheaper and easier.‎ D. Getting astronauts to adapt to the environment.‎ - 28 -‎ ‎7. Where can astronauts get the liquid for washing clothes in the spaceship?‎ A. From the water tank in the spaceship. B. From the outer space.‎ C. From the recycling water in the spaceship. D. From the gas carbon dioxide.‎ ‎8. What does the text mainly talk about?‎ A. Russia is developing a space washing machine.‎ B. A space washing machine has been used in Russia.‎ C. NASA’s made a model of a space washing machine.‎ D. RKK transports tons of clothes to astronauts in space.‎ ‎【答案】5. C 6. C 7. D 8. A ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。俄罗斯宣布正在开发一种宇航员在太空中使用的专用洗衣机。洗衣机将使用宇航员在宇宙飞船中呼吸产生的二氧化碳，而不是水。特殊的技术将气体在高压下变成液体，以便清洗衣服。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句Normal washing machines require gravity to function, not to mention significant amounts of water that has to be stored somewhere and increases weight-they are not suitable for space missions.（普通的洗衣机需要重力才能正常工作，更不用说大量的水了，这些水必须储存在某处并增加重量——它们不适合太空任务。）可知普通的洗衣机不适合在宇宙飞船里使用，主要是因为它们需要重力来运转。故选C。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句And this quantity could increase to three tons for a two-year voyage to Mars involving six crewmembers and could increase the costs and complexity of a mission.（这一数量可能会增加到3吨，用于为期两年的火星之旅，包括6名宇航员，这可能会增加任务的成本和复杂性。）可推测定制洗衣机最大的优点是使在太空洗衣更便宜更容易。故选C。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段The Russian scientists said that, instead of water, the washing machine would use the carbon dioxide produced by the astronauts’ breathing in the - 28 -‎ ‎ spaceship.（俄罗斯科学家说，洗衣机将使用宇航员在宇宙飞船中呼吸产生的二氧化碳，而不是水。）可知宇航员会从气体二氧化碳得到洗衣服的液体。故选D。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据第一段Russia has announced that it is developing a specialized washing machine for astronauts to use in space.（俄罗斯宣布正在开发一种宇航员在太空中使用的专用洗衣机。）以及文章主要内容围绕着俄罗斯正在研制一种太空洗衣机这一事件，故选A。‎ ‎【点睛】推理判断题要求考生在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的判断和推理，从而得出文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题属于主观性较强的高层次阅读理解题，做这类题目时，同学们应严格依据作者所陈述的细节、事实以及作者的措词、态度和语气等，找出能够表露作者思想倾向和感情色彩的词语，然后利用自己已获得的相关知识进行推理判断，从而得出符合逻辑的结论。如第二小题，根据第四段最后一句And this quantity could increase to three tons for a two-year voyage to Mars involving six crewmembers and could increase the costs and complexity of a mission.（这一数量可能会增加到3吨，用于为期两年的火星之旅，包括6名宇航员，这可能会增加任务的成本和复杂性。）可推测定制洗衣机最大的优点是使在太空洗衣更便宜更容易。故选C。‎ C Today I would like to give you a powerful technique that you can use to become outstanding.‎ This technique is called anchoring, which has its roots in Pavlovian behavior modification. You remember Pavlov. He was the Russian scientist who made dogs salivate (分泌唾液) by ringing a bell.‎ Here's how he did it: He would start by ringing a bell while letting dogs smell meat powder. They would salivate from smelling the meat powder. Eventually, he only needed to ring a bell and this alone caused the dogs to salivate. The dogs had associated the bell with hunger. The bell was an anchor for salivation. Pretty simple, huh?‎ It is possible to apply this same basic technique to almost any problem. Now let's take a look at how Pavlov's discovery can help you to feel powerful and confident.‎ Here is how positive anchoring works: Step l. Think of three times in your life when you felt very powerful and write them down; Step 2. Stand alone in a room and ‎ - 28 -‎ think of the first situation. Recall it in full color with sound and anything else that could make it real to you; Step 3. At the moment when you feel fully back in that moment, slap (拍击) your left shoulder with your right hand and say, “Power!”; Step 4. Repeat steps 1-3 for each of the three memories.‎ Remember, you want to anchor each feeling by slapping your shoulder when you feel the memory at its most intense moment.‎ Now that you have created an anchor, you can “fire it off” as needed. The next time you are in a situation requiring confidence, slap your left shoulder with your right hand and say, “Power!” Just as sure as Pavlov's dogs salivated when they heard that bell, you will gain full confidence because now your mind associates confidence with that slap and the word “power”!‎ Occasionally feeling a lack of confidence is a normal part of being human. Having an effective strategy for immediately turning this into confidence is a normal part of being outstanding.‎ ‎9. When did Pavlov ring a bell in the beginning of his experiment?‎ A. When the dogs stopped salivating.‎ B. When the dogs stopped smelling meat powder.‎ C. When the dogs were smelling meat powder.‎ D. When the dogs were salivating.‎ ‎10. What does the underlined “that moment” in Step 3 refer to?‎ A. Any of the situations. B. The first situation.‎ C. The time you say “Power!” D. The time you stand alone in a room.‎ ‎11. Which of the following plays the same role as the bell ringing in Pavlov's experiment?‎ A. Repeat of steps 1-3. B. The three memories.‎ C. Your right hand. D. The slap and the word “power”.‎ ‎12. What is the purpose of the four-step process?‎ A. To refresh memories. B. To remain confident.‎ C. To solve a problem. D. To get an anchor.‎ ‎【答案】9. C 10. B 11. D 12. D - 28 -‎ ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。作者通过巴甫洛夫摇铃让狗垂涎三尺的故事，得出人们其实也可以用右手拍打左肩来勉励自己，让自己更加自信和有力量；作者讲述了四个步骤，帮助人们找到人生的精神支柱，让自己成为一个优秀的人。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段中He would start by ringing a bell while letting dogs smell meat powder. 可知，当狗闻到肉粉的味道时，他就会摇铃。 C. When the dogs were smelling meat powder. (当狗闻到肉粉的味道时)符合题意。故选C项。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据第五段中Step l. Think of three times in your life when you felt very powerful and write them down; (第一步：想想你生命中有三次感到非常有力量的时候，把它们写下来)，再根据At the moment when you feel fully back in that moment. (在你感觉完全回到那一刻的时候)可知，you feel fully back你完全回到的那一刻是指前文讲的写下三个自己觉得最有力量的时刻。B. The first situation. (第一种情况) 符合题意。故选B项。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中Just as sure as Pavlov's dogs salivated when they heard that bell, you will gain full confidence because now your mind associates confidence with that slap and the word “power”! (正如巴甫洛夫的狗听到铃声垂涎三尺一样，你将获得充分的信心，因为现在你的大脑将信心与那个掌击和“力量”这个词联系在一起！) 可知，和巴甫洛夫的铃声起着一样作用的会是那个掌击和“力量”这个词。D. The slap and the word “power”. (掌击和“力量”这个词) 符合题意。故选D项。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第四段中Now let's take a look at how Pavlov's discovery can help you to feel powerful and confident. (现在让我们来看看巴甫洛夫的发现是如何帮助你感到强大和自信的)然后下文通过列举了4个步骤，可推断出这4个步骤就是为了帮助你找到生活中的“锚”，从而又感到自信和有力量。D. To get an anchor. (去得到一个锚) 符合题意。故选D项。‎ D The first study to examine generational differences in perfectionism over the ‎ - 28 -‎ past three decades reports that young people's desire to be flawless has sharply increased over the past thirty years. Today's college-age students are much more likely to have perfectionism than prior generations, according to the new report.‎ This study was recently published in the journal Psychological Bulletin. For this study, lead author Thomas Curran and co-author Andrew Hill, analyzed data from 41,641 college students in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. They also used the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale to measure generational changes in perfectionism from the late 1980s to 2016. During their analysis, Curran and Hill investigated three types of perfectionism:‎ l. Self-oriented perfectionism: having an irrational desire to be perfect on oneself.‎ ‎2. Other-oriented perfectionism: Placing unrealistic standards of perfection on others.‎ ‎3. Socially-perfectionism: Feeling excessive expectations of perfection from others.‎ The statistics are alarming: Between 1989 and 2016, self-oriented perfectionism scores increased by 10 percent, other-oriented perfectionism increased by 16 percent, and socially-perfectionism increased largely by 33 percent.‎ The rise in perfectionism among college students is driven by a variety of factors, according to Curran. The raw data suggests that the growing use of social media could be fueling the pressure young adults feel to perfect themselves in comparison to others. That said, Curran emphasizes that more research is needed to confirm the relation between an increase in social media usage and increased perfectionism.‎ Curran also assumes that college students' drive to perfect their grade point average represents a rise in meritocracy (精英教育) among the new generation.‎ ‎“Today's young people are competing with each other in order to meet societal pressures to succeed and they feel that perfectionism is necessary in order to feel safe, socially connected and of worth.” Curran said.‎ Andrew Hill sees these findings as a strong call for colleges and policymakers to increase their efforts to control unnecessary competition among young people in - 28 -‎ ‎ order to preserve their mental health. Unfortunately, this may be easier said than done.‎ ‎13. What does the underlined word “flawless” in the first paragraph probably mean?‎ A. without effort B. without competition C. without weakness D. without strength ‎14. What can you infer from the passage?‎ A. All college students of this generation have serious perfectionism.‎ B. Self-oriented perfectionism increased the most according to the latest study.‎ C. The increase in perfectionism is completely driven by some obvious factors.‎ D. It is uncertain whether increased social media usage causes more perfectionism.‎ ‎15 What's the writer's attitude toward the effect of the study on the change of the situation?‎ A. Concerned. B. Negative.‎ C. Positive. D. Critical.‎ ‎【答案】13. C 14. D 15. B ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章主要内容是在过去的三十年里，年轻人对完美无瑕的渴望急剧增长。主要有三种完美主义：自我导向型完美主义；他人导向型完美主义；社会型完美主义。然而，这些完美主义会让年轻人有更大的精神压力，所以作者强烈呼吁大学和政策制定者努力控制年轻人之间的不必要竞争。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据第一段中The first study to examine generational differences in perfectionism over the past three decades reports that young people's desire to be flawless has sharply increased over the past thirty years. (对过去三十年来完美主义的代际差异的首次研究报告显示，在过去的三十年里，年轻人对完美无瑕的渴望急剧增长)可知，句中的desire to be flawless指的是前文的perfectionism。C. without weakness (没有缺点) 符合题意。故选C项。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ - 28 -‎ 推理判断题。根据第四段中The raw data suggests that the growing use of social media could be fueling the pressure young adults feel to perfect themselves in comparison to others. (原始数据显示，社交媒体的使用日益增多，可能会增加年轻人的压力，迫使他们在与他人的比较中完善自己)可推断出，较多的使用社交媒体是迫使年轻人追求完美的可能原因之一，但是并不是绝对的。D. It is uncertain whether increased social media usage causes more perfectionism. (目前还不确定社交媒体使用的增加是否会导致更完美主义)符合题意。故选D项。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段Andrew Hill sees these findings as a strong call for colleges and policymakers to increase their efforts to control unnecessary competition among young people in order to preserve their mental health. Unfortunately, this may be easier said than done. (Andrew Hill认为，这些发现强烈呼吁大学和政策制定者努力控制年轻人之间的不必要竞争，以保持他们的心理健康。不幸的是，说起来容易做起来难)可推测出，作者对这30年来人们对完美主义的代际差异是持消极态度的，因为年轻人过多的追求没有必要的竞争。A. Concerned.关心的；B. Negative.消极的；C. Positive.积极的；D. Critical.批评的。故选B项。‎ ‎【点睛】词义猜测题着重考查考生根据上下文猜测词义的能力，这也是一个从“已知”得出“未知”的过程，就是利用上下文已知的部分（尤其是该词或短语前后的句子）进行推理，有时候还需要依靠常识和经验来猜测词义。如本题第1小题，就是词义猜测题，前句讲到过去三十年来完美主义的代际差异，后面就提到了现代年轻人对完美无瑕的渴望急剧增长，可推测出可知，句中的desire to be flawless指的是前文的perfectionism。‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。‎ Music is an international language that is beautiful to people all over the world.

There you'll meet people from all over the world and learn about lots of different subject, like history, geography and languages. There’re clubs there, that can be a lot of fun because we meet new people and enjoy your hobbies. Many people say that attend university are the best time of their life. But it's also a time to work hard and did all your homework. Books can be very expensive, but the school library is so a wonderful place that you can find most of the books you want, so that you don't need to buy them.‎ ‎【答案】1. institution前加an ‎2. before→after ‎3. subject→subjects ‎4. that→which ‎5. we→you ‎6. attend→attending ‎7. are→is或was ‎8. did→do ‎9. so→such ‎10. 去掉that ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ - 28 -‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了大学一个高等学府，大学的生活丰富多彩，是人生中最美好的时候。‎ ‎【详解】1. 考查冠词。institution“机构”，是个可数名词，并且是以元音发音开头的单词，这里表示一个机构，所以前面需要加不定冠词an。故在institution前加an。‎ ‎2. 考查连词。根据常识可知，我们是高中毕业之后才能读大学，before“在……之前”， after“在……之后”。故将before改为after。‎ ‎3. 考查名词复数。subject为可数名词，并且前面有lots of different修饰，所以这里应该用可数名词的复数形式。故将subject改成subjects。‎ ‎4. 考查连词。分析句子可知，此处是非限制性定语从句，并且先行词为clubs，指物，在从句中做主语，应使用which引导。故将that改成which。‎ ‎5. 考查代词。分析句子可知，文章是以第二人称来写作的。故将we改成you。‎ ‎6. 考查动名词。分析句子可知，宾语从句中attend university是句子的主语成分，但动词不能做主语，所以需要把它改为动名词。故将attend改成attending。‎ ‎7. 考查主谓一致。根据上一题可知，宾语从句由动名词做主语，那谓语动词必须要单数。如果理解为客观的事实，就用is；如果理解为人们认为过去读大学的时光，就用was。故将are改成is或was。‎ ‎8. 考查时态。分析句子可知，But it's also a time to work hard and did all your homework.这句话描述的是读大学时该怎么做，这是一个要求，所以应该用一般现在时。故将did改成do。‎ ‎9. 考查形容词。so…that /such…that “如此……以致于”，so为副词，修饰形容词和副词；such是个形容词，修饰名词，a wonderful place是名词，所以用such修饰。故将so改成such。‎ ‎10. 考查连词。so that是固定搭配“以便于，为了”，引导目的状语从句；so为并列连词，前后两句话之间是因果关系；根据句意可知，图书馆可以提供你想要的任何书籍，所以你不需要花钱去买它们。这两句话之间的关系是因果关系，而不是目的关系。故去掉so 后的that。‎ 第二节 书面表达（满分25分）‎ ‎52.转眼新的一年已经来到。在过去的一年中，帮助和关心你的人很多，但此时此刻你最想感谢的人是谁？请你根据提示写一篇英语短文，内容包括：‎ ‎1. 你所感谢的对象；‎ ‎2. 感谢他（她）的原因；‎ - 28 -‎ ‎3. 你想对他（她）说的话。‎ 注意：1. 词数100左右；‎ ‎2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。‎ ‎_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎【答案】Thanks to the generous help and selfless love of Ms. Wang, I have become more confident and made great progress in my subjects, especially in English in the last year.‎ It was Ms. Wang who, regardless of her health and rest time, always accompanied us in the classroom, giving us timely help.
