We had two dogs, Lucky and Lily Bit. Lucky loved to find ways to leave the confines (束 缚) of her indoor living routine, which made her a masterful escape artist. Lily Bit, on the other hand, did exactly as she was told, never straying, always staying close to home except when she came under the influence of Lucky.
Whenever the two got out together, they could be seen out of sights often staying away for hours. More often than not, they’d arrive home near suppertime, covered in mud and leaves and smelling to high heaven from their afternoon outing in the woods.
I remember one such occasion when they’d once again mysteriously escaped, except this time, they returned clean and no worse for wear. It wasn’t until a few days later that we learned why. My wife ran into our neighbor Carl who lived a few houses down from us.
“I saw your two dogs the other day,” Carl said with a smile,
“Oh, yes? I’m so sorry. They’d been so good lately, so it was such a surprise when they got out. I sure hope they didn’t cause any trouble.” my wife replied,
“Oh, no, no trouble at all. Did you have any idea where they went?”
“No,” my wife answered.
“They attended my dog’s funeral (葬礼)” Carl said sadly.
“What?” Ann exclaimed, “Oh, no. I didn’t know Toby had died.
“Yep, it died a couple days ago. I was burying him in the back lot when your two dogs came running up. They sat down not far from me while. I finished burying him, then they left.”
“Wow that’s amazing! ” my wife replied. “Toby was Lily Bit’s father, you know. ”
“No, I didn’t know that,” Carl replied, “but I guess that explains why she felt like she needed to be there. She had to say her final goodbye.”
4. What words can best explain the meaning of the word “straying” underlined in Para. 1?
A. Wandering away. B. Staying still
C. Shouting loudly. D. Disobeying impolitely.
5. What difference between Lucky and Lily Bit is suggested in the first paragraph?
A. Their abilities were different. B. Their hobbies were different.
C. Their personalities were different D. Their physical features were different.
6. What would generally happen to the two dogs after they got home from outside?
A. They got more united. B. They looked in a mess.
C. They smelled nice as usual. D. They got willing to do as told to.
7. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?
A. To show his respect for dogs. B. To be in memory of his dogs.
C. To suggest learning from dogs, D. To think highly of his two dogs.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D
【分析】
本文为记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者家两只狗的故事。两只狗很淘气,经常在外面玩耍,回来时浑身是泥土和草叶。但有一次例外,两只狗回家还是干干净净的,后来作者从邻居那里获知其原因,它们去参加一只狗父亲的葬礼了。
【4题详解】
词义猜测题。根据always staying close to home(总是呆在离家近的地方)可知,never straying是指从不乱走开,所以straying意为“走开、走失”,故选A项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Lucky loved to find ways to leave the confines (束缚) of her indoor living RoutineLily Bit, on the other hand, did exactly as she was told, never straying, always staying close to home.(Lucky喜欢找方法摆脱室内生活的限制……另一方面,Lily Bit却完全按照她被告知的去做,从不乱跑,总是呆在离家很近的地方)可知,一个想办法摆脱束缚,而另一个服从,这说明它们的性格不一样,故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第二句More often than not, they’d arrive home near suppertime, covered in mud and leaves . (通常,它们在晚饭前回到家,浑身是泥和树叶……)可推断,它们回来时浑身是脏的,故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后的对话“Wow that’s amazing! ” my wife replied. “Toby was Lily
Bit’s father, you know. ”“No, I didn’t know that,” Carl replied, “but I guess that explains why she felt like she needed to be there. She had to say her final goodbye.”( “哇,太神奇了!”我妻子回答说,“你知道,Toby是Lily Bit的父亲。”“不,我不知道,”卡尔回答,“但我想这就是为什么她认为她需要在那里。她必须作最后的告别。”)可知,这些说明狗也重感情。由此可推断,作者的写作目的是为了称赞自己的狗,故选D项。
【点睛】词句猜测题中的词义猜测在文章中可以找到对应句子解释,所以要认真阅读前后文来理解。例如第1小题,问下划线“straying”意思,根据always staying close to home(总是呆在离家近的地方)可知,never straying是指从不乱走开,所以straying意为“走开、走失”,故选A项。

Two years ago, Kiirsat Ceylan was in New York to give a talk about disability rights at the U. N. Blind since birth, the Turkish man was struggling to find his hotel, holding a cane in one hand and pulling his luggage with the other.
"Not surprisingly, suddenly I bumped into a pole, and he says, "It was a bit bloody."

Assistive technology is often expensive for blind people, says Eelke Folmer, a computer science professor at the University of Nevada! Reno. "But developers fail to realize their devices are out of reach for many blind people, To Folmer, the price point-﹩ 500-- sets the WeWalk cane apart from other technologies.
Ceylan sees WeWalk as part of an attempt to help blind people achieve greater freedom of movement, which he believes will give them greater access to education and jobs. The canes are already having an impact on users, Ceylan says. He recently received an email from a teacher in Ireland who had become blind as an adult. He'd been depressed and housebound. But since getting a WeWalk cane, your device forced me to go out. It became my anti- depressant. " he wrote.

When you think of a national park, you generally picture fresh air and wild animals, right? Well, now you're going to have to add tea shops and something called "the Tube" to your definition, because London, England has signed up to be the first "National Park City."
London was established by the Romans around 2,000 years ago and has been continually inhabited (居住于) since then. In all that time, however, nobody had the idea to replace all the parks with big box stores or high buildings, which means London already has a much lower urban density (密度)than most of the worlds cities. Nowadays about a third of the city is green space,
In July 2019, London announced its willingness to become the world’s first National Park City. Now the city is moving toward the goal of achieving 50% green space by the year 2050 by connecting and expanding public parks, greening up unused parking lots and the private yards of existing and new houses, fixing some green roofs on existing buildings and even cutting holes in fences for wildlife to pass through.
"Inspired by the aims and values of our precious rural national parks, the London National
Park City is basically about making life better in the capital through both small everyday things and long-term strategic thinking," Daniel Raven-Ellison, who began the campaign to make London a National Park City six years ago said in a press release. "We've been doing that in London for centuries, which is why London is so green and diverse. "
London will have a much easier job achieving this type of green transformation than more densely-urbanized cities like Paris and New York, which have 10% and 27% greenspace, respectively. But that doesn't mean it's not possible——the National Park City Foundation hopes to employ 25 more cities in addition to London by the year 2025. Glasgow, Scotland and Newcastle upon Tyne in northeast England are both currently considering becoming National Park Cities.
12. What makes London more likely to become a national park city than other cities?
A. Its smaller population. B. The government’s efforts.
C. Its less dense urbanization. D. Its citizens’ great support.
13. Where can we find the data on London’s measures to achieve its goal?
A. In Paragraph 1. B. In Paragraph 2.
C. In Paragraph 3. D. In Paragraph 4.
14. What is Daniel Raven-Ellison trying to talk about in the fourth paragraph?
A. London’s long-term strategic thinking.
B. The significance of London’s campaign.
C. The effects of national parks on London.
D. The resources of London’s green space.
15. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Trying to be a national park city is turning new trend.
B. National park cities are springing up around the world.
C. It is so easy for London to become a national park city.
D. National park cities are making improvements to our life.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
本文为说明文。文章就英国伦敦已经签约成为第一个“国家公园城市”为话题,介绍伦敦市民为实现这一目标而努力,同时其他城市也考虑成为国家公园城市。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的nobody had the idea to replace all the parks with big box stores or high buildings, which means London already has a much lower urban density (密度)than most of the worlds cities. Nowadays about a third of the city is green space(没有人想到要把所有的公园都换成大型商店或高楼大厦,这意味着伦敦的城市密度比世界上大多数城市低得多,如今城市的三分之一是绿地)和最后一段London will have a much easier job achieving this type of green transformation than more densely-urbanized cities like Paris and New York, which have 10% and 27% greenspace, respectively.(与巴黎和纽约等人口密度更高的城市相比,伦敦实现这种绿色转型要容易得多,巴黎和纽约的绿化面积分别为10%和27%),可判断出,伦敦的低密度城市化是其优势。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的by connecting and expanding public parks, greening up unused parking lots and the private yards of existing and new houses, fixing some green roofs on existing buildings and even cutting holes in fences for wildlife to pass through.(通过连接和扩展公共公园,绿化未使用的停车场和现有和新建房屋的私人庭院,在现有建筑上固定一些绿色屋顶,甚至在栅栏上开洞让野生动物通过)可知,第三段列出伦敦为实现目标采取了很多措施。故选 C 项。

【分析】
本文是说明文。文章主要介绍用塑料垃圾修路。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意:塑料对我们的星球来说是个大问题。要想除掉塑料真的很有挑战性,很多塑料最终进入大自然,特别是进入海洋。该空作系动词is的表语,应使用形容词“
有挑战的”。故填challenging。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:在那里,它对我们的动物和植物有威胁。固定搭配a threat to sb./sth.“对……的威胁”。故填to。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:现在,一家来自西欧小国荷兰的公司表示,他们将使用在海洋中发现的塑料来修路。此处与plastic是逻辑动宾关系,应使用过去分词做后置定语,表示被动。故填found。
【44题详解】
考查时态。句意:Volker Wessels会把这些塑料变成道路用的积木。根据上下文多处出现一般将来时可知,此处也是表将来的动作,应使用一般将来时。故填will turn。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:他们会像拼图一样拼凑在一起。根据句意可知,该空引导限制性定语从句并作主语,puzzle pieces是先行词,关系词在从句中做主语,应使用关系代词that/which引导。故填that/which。
【46题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:如果道路的一部分被破坏,很容易将其拆下并用另一块替换。if引导条件状语从句时,主句使用将来时,从句谓语动词使用一般现在时表将来;damage与a part of the road是逻辑动宾关系,应使用被动语态。故填is damaged。
【47题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:该公司表示,几乎任何类型的塑料都可以用来制作路砖。be used to do sth.“被用来做某事”。故填to make。
【48题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:从事该项目的科学家说,他们正处于测试材料安全性的最后阶段。work与Scientists是逻辑主谓关系,应使用现在分词作后置定语,表主动。故填working。
【49题详解】
考查名词。句意:从事该项目的科学家说,他们正处于测试材料安全性的最后阶段。该空作介词for的宾语,故用名词形式。故填safety。
【50题详解】
考查冠词。句意:他们说,第一条道路将是荷兰某个地方的自行车道。bicycle path为单数可数名词,此处表泛指,应使用不定冠词,因bicycle是以辅音音素开头的词,应使用不定冠词a。故填a。
【点睛】if引导的条件状语从句,有“主将从现”特点,即主句是将来时,从句是一般现在时。例如第6小题:If a part of the road ____6____ (damage), it will be easy to remove it and replace it with another piece.这句if引导的从句用一般现在时,道路和破坏之间应为被动,故填is damaged。
