When Emma Yang was 8,her grandmother became increasingly forgetful.Over the next few years,those memory problems caused by early Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默病) worsened.Yang,who learned to code at an early age,decided to create an app to help.
“I have personal experience with how the disease can affect not only the patient,but also family and friends.When I was about 11 or 12,I got really interested in using technology for social good to help other people around the world,” says Yang,who is now 14.In her app under development,called Timeless,Alzheimer’s patients can scroll through (上下滚动) photos of friends and family,and the app will tell them who the people are and how they’re related to the patient.If a patient doesn’t recognize people in the same room,they can take a picture and the technology will also try to recognize them.
The app also includes a simple contact screen that shows photos of family members along with names.If a patient tries to call a contact repeatedly — something that can sometimes happen because of the disease — the app will show a quick reminder: “Are you sure you want to call?You just called less than five minutes ago.” A “me” page shows the patient’s own name,age,phone number,and address.The app is still in development,and Yang doesn’t yet have evidence that it will work.But she is optimistic that it can help,especially if introduced to someone in the early stages of the disease.
Katherine Possin,an associate professor at the UCSF Memory and Aging Center,agrees,“It can be hard for somebody who has a lot of memory problems to learn a new technology,” Possin says.“But if somebody is in the early stages of the disease,and if the app is simple enough,it’s possible that they can learn to use it through repetition and practice.”
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了Emma Yang正在研发的一款能帮助阿尔茨海默病人的应用软件的相关情况。
24.Why did Emma Yang come up with the idea of creating the app?
A.She decided to develop some codes.

When Babbage was working at Cambridge,a new idea occurred to him.He wanted to construct a calculating machine to work out the solutions(解法) to maths problems not only with correctness but also with a speed beyond the power of any human mind.His machine could solve problems involving long rows of figures in one continuous operation (运算).
In 1822 Babbage exhibited his invention and won a prize from the government.After that,he immediately started to work on a larger machine designed to solve more difficult problems.Although he received some money left by his father,the money was not enough to support his design.He wrote to the government about his plan and was given￡2 500 to start with,a sum worth much more in those days than it is now.
Babbage continued his work in London for four years.Then his health broke down,and he had to take a long holiday abroad.When he returned to London in 1828,he was at the end of his resources.Many bills remained unpaid.His chief assistant and co-workers quarreled with him and left with many expensive tools.For one year no work was done.During his period,Babbage,whose mind was always active,suddenly thought of a completely new idea for the machine.He rushed to meet the government officials to explain his new idea.But this time,they were unwilling to help him.For eight years,they refused to say whether they wanted it or not,and their final answer was “No.”
From 1828 to 1839,Babbage held the position of professor at Cambridge very successfully.But his greatest work was the unfinished calculating machine which stood covered in dust in his house.It was the beginning of the modern computer.
【语篇解读】查尔斯·巴贝奇在剑桥大学工作时专心从事计算机方面的研究,他于1834年发明了分析机。虽然他遇到了很多困难而最终放弃,然而,他留给计算机界后辈们的是一份极其珍贵的精神遗产。

Extinctions are seldom a cause for celebration.Humans are wiping out species at a frightening rate,whether hunting them into history or,far more threateningly,damaging the habitats on which they depend.How,then,to think about a new technology that will make driving a species to extinction far easier?
That technology is known as a gene drive,so called because it uses genetic engineering to drive certain features through a population.Those characteristics need not be harmful;they might become stronger against disease among crops or,perhaps,greater tolerance to warming waters on the part of corals.And if the species in question were the three types of mosquitoes responsible for spreading malaria(疟疾),it could save close to half million lives a year,and many of them are children.The same approach could be used against other diseases such as Lyme disease,and Zika.Gene drives also offer us potential weapon against foreign species such as foxes,mice,rabbits and rats which are threatening native species in some parts of the world.
Normally genes have a 50:50 chance of being passed on during reproduction.Gene drives tip the evolutionary scales.One area of research focuses on genes that can copy themselves to the second,ensuring that they will be passed on by all offspring(后代).Like many technologies,however,gene drives may lead to bad outcomes as well as good.They could in theory make species extinct.One concern is practical: removing a species from the food chain could have unintended consequences,particularly if gene drives can move to a closely related species.Another relates to governance.Genetically modified crops can be kept relatively contained: animals carrying gene drives could be mobile and respect no borders.One country’s decision to use gene drives will have consequences for its neighbours.A third worry concerns improper uses of the technology,and not only by states.A mosquito,engineered to inject toxins(毒素) could be used as a weapon.But putting the brakes on research may pay real costs: not just the annual rising number of deaths taken by malaria and other killer before an answer is found,but also slower progress towards making gene drives safer.
【语篇解读】本文为议论文,作者就gene drives可能带来的利弊进行了探讨。
32.What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?
A.Diseases spread among crops.
B.The definition of gene drives.
C.The bright sides of gene drives.
D.The possible ways against diseases.
答案C
解析主旨大意题。第二段中的“And if the species in question were the three types of mosquitoes responsible for spreading malaria,it could save close to half million lives a year,and many of them are children.”可知,本段主要介绍了gene drives的优点,故选C项。
33.What does the underlined word “governance” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Management. B.Adjustment.
C.Instructions. D.Relevance.
答案A
解析词义猜测题。该词可根据构词法并结合下文语境猜测。由该词的下文举例可知,基因驱动的植物还相对好管理,而动物是流动的,一个国家关于基因驱动的决策会给其他国家造成影响。这些都属于管理方面的问题,所以选A项。
34.What attitude does the author have towards gene drive research?
A.Unconcerned. B.Disapproving.
C.Ambiguous. D.Supportive.
答案D
解析推理判断题。文章最后一段提到了作者对基因驱动研究的看法:对基因驱动研究采取刹车态度则会付出真真切切的代价。所以作者是支持该方面的研究的,故选D项。
35.What’s the best title for the passage?
A.Pros and Cons of Gene Drives
B.Gene Drives Make Our Life Safer
C.Dangers Gene Drives Bring to Us
D.One Concern We Don’t Ignore
答案A
解析主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要讨论了基因驱动科技的优缺点,所以A项可作为本文的标题。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Often,when you buy a computer,the laptop bag is overlooked,but it is one of the most valuable things a computer owner can have.Most choose a laptop simply because they want to be able to transport it from place to place. 36 The bag not only protects the computer from dirt or damage,it can also be used to carry other laptop parts,such as spare batteries,a computer mouse and any portable equipment you may have.
The first thing to consider when choosing the best laptop bag is what style of bag you may want.The most common styles are the briefcase(公文包)and the backpack. 37 The briefcase gives a sense of professionalism while the backpack may be easier to carry much of the time.
A laptop bag should have both a computer sleeve along with several separate sections.The sleeve helps keep the laptop from moving too much in the bag.The sections are good for storage of documents and other things you may want to transport along with the computer; 38
Another thing when you buy a laptop bag is making sure it is strongly sewed and has a solid bottom.These two things will make your bag much stronger,especially if it is the backpack style. 39 In some cases,it may just be a few months before a computer owner needs a new one.However if made properly,laptop bags can last five or more years.
40 Buying a cloth bag may be a cheaper option,but leather bags are generally made better and are able to stand up to use much better.Besides,leather offers a natural barrier to water when the computer is transported through rain or snow.
A.obviously the former is more important,though.
B.Each one has their own advantages as laptop bags.
C.Materials also make a difference,especially in the briefcase style.
D.But without a good laptop bag that becomes much more difficult
E.There are lots of choices when it comes to choosing the best laptop bag.
F.this will prevent them rubbing up against the computer and scratching it.
G.Choosing a cheap bag without these could greatly reduce the life of the bag.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文,主要讲述了如何选择并购买电脑包。
36.D 空前提到the laptop bag,人们在买电脑的时候,电脑包是被忽略的。有些人选择手提电脑是因为可以随身携带。空后说的是电脑包的优势。所以D项 “But without a good laptop bag that becomes much more difficult”符合上下文。D项的But起到了结构上的作用,将空前空后连接起来。
37.B 空前提到了“the briefcase and the backpack”公文包和双肩包两种电脑包的形式,空后提到了各自的优势,与B项中Each one相一致,所以B项符合。
38.F 根据“...The sleeve helps keep the laptop from moving...”,并结合空前分号说明此处和空前谈论的是同一个内容,空前提到了分区有利于文件和其他东西的存放,是在讲分区的优势,所以此处也是讲优势,可以帮助避免物品之间的摩擦。这与F项“prevent them rubbing up against the computer and scratching it”相一致,故选F项。
39.G 根据“...much stronger...”和下文“...be a few months...”可知,空前提到了两个因素可以使得电脑包更加牢固,空后提到很多情况下,没几个月就要换一个新的。所以此处是讲电脑包的质量问题。如果选择一个没有以上优势的便宜的电脑包,会减少电脑包的使用寿命。这与G项中“...reduce the life of the bag”相一致。
40.C 空后提到了“cloth”和“leather”两种材料,所以此处是要讲“material”,这与C项一致。

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Cards and digital technologies 56 (kill) off cash slowly,but is it a cause for concern?Not 57 (necessary).Here are some ways of making the most of digital finance.
Cash is no longer king.Over recent years fewer and fewer transactions have been made with cash.The most recent figures show coins and notes are used just 34% of 58 time,down from 63% a decade ago.And the usage 59 (predict) to fall to just 10% in 15 years.
Instead we’re paying with cards and digital technologies.Some of this is down to user choice,with contact-less cards and smart phones making spending 60 (fast) and more convenient.
But it’s also being forced upon us.Some retailers are refusing physical money as they can avoid the high bank charges levied(征收) at them for 61 (handle) cash.Meanwhile it’s harder to get your hands on notes as cash machines and 62 (bank) disappear from the high street.And these are trends which are likely 63 (increase) in the coming years.
This could be bad news if you still primarily use cash, 64 that’s how you pay your bills or how you budget.For some,cash is just what you know.For 65 ,cash is a necessity—especially when going digital is the alternative.
As a result this move towards cashless society makes many uneasy.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了银行卡和数字科技正在慢慢取代现金以及这种趋势对人们生活的影响。
56.are killing 考查主谓一致。 根据语境可知,此处应使用现在进行时,表示现阶段正在发生的动作以及一种趋势;且主语Cards and digital technologies为复数形式,故填are killing。
57.necessarily 考查副词。not necessarily为固定词组,表示“不一定,未必”。
58.the 考查定冠词。此处the time特指“需要使用现金交易的时间”,故填the。
59.is predicted 考查语态。此处用一般现在时陈述客观事实,且usage作主语,谓语动词用单数形式,与predict构成被动关系,故填is predicted。
60.faster 考查比较级。and前后连接两个并列成分,由more convenient可知,此处应该也用形容词比较级。
61.handling 考查非谓语动词。此处作介词for的宾语,故使用动词-ing形式作宾语。
62.banks 考查名词。and前后连接两个并列的成分,bank作名词意为“银行”,为可数名词,由于前面没有出现表单数概念的词来修饰,故用复数形式。
63.to increase 考查非谓语动词。be likely to do sth表示“有可能做某事”,故填to increase。
64.whether 考查连词。whether...or...引导让步状语从句,表示“无论……还是……”,故填whether。
65.others 考查代词。根据语境可知,some...others...表示“一些人……另一些人……”。

Her name was Mrs Thompson.And as she stood in front of the 5th grade class on the very first day she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same.But that was impossible because there in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard.Mrs Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he didn’t play well with the other children,that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath.She paid no attention to Teddy.
However,when she read his file,she was in surprise.Teddy’s first grade teacher wrote,“Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh.He does his work neatly and has good manners...he is the joy to be around.”His second grade teacher wrote,“Teddy is an excellent student,well liked by his classmates.But he is troubled because his mother has a deadly illness and life at home must be a struggle.”His third grade teacher wrote,“His mother’s death has been hard on him.He tried to do his best but his father doesn’t show much interest.”Teddy’s fourth grade teacher wrote,“Teddy is withdrawn and doesn’t show much interest in school.He doesn’t have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class.” By now,Mrs Thompson realized the problem and she was ashamed of herself.She thought that she could make a difference.
She felt even worse when her students brought her Christmas presents,wrapped in beautiful paper and tied with pretty ribbons,except for Teddy’s.His present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy,brown paper that he got from a grocery bag.Mrs Thompson opened it in the middle of the other presents.Some of the children started to laugh when she found a stone bracelet(手镯)with some of the stones missing,and a bottle that was one-quarter full of perfume.
Paragraph 1:
Mrs Thompson,whose voice choked up with tears,thanked her students for their presents.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Ten years later,Teddy invited Mrs Thompson to attend his wedding as his mother.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
参考范文
Paragraph 1:
Mrs Thompson,whose voice choked up with tears,thanked her students for their presents.And then she showed how she liked Teddy’s presents,putting the bracelet on,and using some of the perfume on her wrist.From then on,Mrs Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy.As she worked with him,his mind seemed to come alive.The more she encouraged him,the faster he responded and he showed much interest in study.By the end of the year,Teddy had become one of the excellent children in the class.
Paragraph 2:
Ten years later,Teddy invited Mrs Thompson to attend his wedding as his mother.She used the bracelet and the perfume which were the present of that year.At the wedding ceremony,she met the man with good manners.He said to her,“Thank you,Mrs Thompson.Today you smelled just like my mom used to.”Mrs Thompson,with tears in her eyes,whispered back.She said,“Teddy,you were the one who taught me that I could make a difference.I’m so proud that today I can be your mother!”

When Emma Yang was 8,her grandmother became increasingly forgetful.Over the next few years,those memory problems caused by early Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默病) worsened.Yang,who learned to code at an early age,decided to create an app to help.
“I have personal experience with how the disease can affect not only the patient,but also family and friends.When I was about 11 or 12,I got really interested in using technology for social good to help other people around the world,” says Yang,who is now 14.In her app under development,called Timeless,Alzheimer’s patients can scroll through (上下滚动) photos of friends and family,and the app will tell them who the people are and how they’re related to the patient.If a patient doesn’t recognize people in the same room,they can take a picture and the technology will also try to recognize them.
The app also includes a simple contact screen that shows photos of family members along with names.If a patient tries to call a contact repeatedly — something that can sometimes happen because of the disease — the app will show a quick reminder: “Are you sure you want to call?You just called less than five minutes ago.” A “me” page shows the patient’s own name,age,phone number,and address.The app is still in development,and Yang doesn’t yet have evidence that it will work.But she is optimistic that it can help,especially if introduced to someone in the early stages of the disease.
Katherine Possin,an associate professor at the UCSF Memory and Aging Center,agrees,“It can be hard for somebody who has a lot of memory problems to learn a new technology,” Possin says.“But if somebody is in the early stages of the disease,and if the app is simple enough,it’s possible that they can learn to use it through repetition and practice.”
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了Emma Yang正在研发的一款能帮助阿尔茨海默病人的应用软件的相关情况。
24.Why did Emma Yang come up with the idea of creating the app?
A.She decided to develop some codes.

When Babbage was working at Cambridge,a new idea occurred to him.He wanted to construct a calculating machine to work out the solutions(解法) to maths problems not only with correctness but also with a speed beyond the power of any human mind.His machine could solve problems involving long rows of figures in one continuous operation (运算).
In 1822 Babbage exhibited his invention and won a prize from the government.After that,he immediately started to work on a larger machine designed to solve more difficult problems.Although he received some money left by his father,the money was not enough to support his design.He wrote to the government about his plan and was given￡2 500 to start with,a sum worth much more in those days than it is now.
Babbage continued his work in London for four years.Then his health broke down,and he had to take a long holiday abroad.When he returned to London in 1828,he was at the end of his resources.Many bills remained unpaid.His chief assistant and co-workers quarreled with him and left with many expensive tools.For one year no work was done.During his period,Babbage,whose mind was always active,suddenly thought of a completely new idea for the machine.He rushed to meet the government officials to explain his new idea.But this time,they were unwilling to help him.For eight years,they refused to say whether they wanted it or not,and their final answer was “No.”
From 1828 to 1839,Babbage held the position of professor at Cambridge very successfully.But his greatest work was the unfinished calculating machine which stood covered in dust in his house.It was the beginning of the modern computer.
【语篇解读】查尔斯·巴贝奇在剑桥大学工作时专心从事计算机方面的研究,他于1834年发明了分析机。虽然他遇到了很多困难而最终放弃,然而,他留给计算机界后辈们的是一份极其珍贵的精神遗产。

答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第三段的第三、四句“When he returned to London in 1828,he was at the end of his resources.Many bills remained unpaid.”可知,Babbage 回到伦敦后,他的财产快用完了,他还有很多账未付。由此可知,B项正确。
30.From the passage,we can infer that .
A.Babbage failed to be a famous scientist at Cambridge
B.Babbage had new ideas but gave them up easily
C.Babbage always needed support from the government officials
D.Babbage was the first designer of the modern computer
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据文章最后一段,特别是“It was the beginning of the modern computer.”可知,巴贝奇是现代计算机的最初设计者。
31.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The idea. B.The government.
C.The machine. D.The bill.
答案C
解析词义猜测题。根据上文的“...suddenly thought of a completely new idea for the machine.”可知,it指的是the machine。

Extinctions are seldom a cause for celebration.Humans are wiping out species at a frightening rate,whether hunting them into history or,far more threateningly,damaging the habitats on which they depend.How,then,to think about a new technology that will make driving a species to extinction far easier?
That technology is known as a gene drive,so called because it uses genetic engineering to drive certain features through a population.Those characteristics need not be harmful;they might become stronger against disease among crops or,perhaps,greater tolerance to warming waters on the part of corals.And if the species in question were the three types of mosquitoes responsible for spreading malaria(疟疾),it could save close to half million lives a year,and many of them are children.The same approach could be used against other diseases such as Lyme disease,and Zika.Gene drives also offer us potential weapon against foreign species such as foxes,mice,rabbits and rats which are threatening native species in some parts of the world.
Normally genes have a 50:50 chance of being passed on during reproduction.Gene drives tip the evolutionary scales.One area of research focuses on genes that can copy themselves to the second,ensuring that they will be passed on by all offspring(后代).Like many technologies,however,gene drives may lead to bad outcomes as well as good.They could in theory make species extinct.One concern is practical: removing a species from the food chain could have unintended consequences,particularly if gene drives can move to a closely related species.Another relates to governance.Genetically modified crops can be kept relatively contained: animals carrying gene drives could be mobile and respect no borders.One country’s decision to use gene drives will have consequences for its neighbours.A third worry concerns improper uses of the technology,and not only by states.A mosquito,engineered to inject toxins(毒素) could be used as a weapon.But putting the brakes on research may pay real costs: not just the annual rising number of deaths taken by malaria and other killer before an answer is found,but also slower progress towards making gene drives safer.
【语篇解读】本文为议论文,作者就gene drives可能带来的利弊进行了探讨。
32.What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?
A.Diseases spread among crops.
B.The definition of gene drives.
C.The bright sides of gene drives.
D.The possible ways against diseases.
答案C
解析主旨大意题。第二段中的“And if the species in question were the three types of mosquitoes responsible for spreading malaria,it could save close to half million lives a year,and many of them are children.”可知,本段主要介绍了gene drives的优点,故选C项。
33.What does the underlined word “governance” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Management. B.Adjustment.
C.Instructions. D.Relevance.
答案A
解析词义猜测题。该词可根据构词法并结合下文语境猜测。由该词的下文举例可知,基因驱动的植物还相对好管理,而动物是流动的,一个国家关于基因驱动的决策会给其他国家造成影响。这些都属于管理方面的问题,所以选A项。
34.What attitude does the author have towards gene drive research?
A.Unconcerned. B.Disapproving.
C.Ambiguous. D.Supportive.
答案D
解析推理判断题。文章最后一段提到了作者对基因驱动研究的看法:对基因驱动研究采取刹车态度则会付出真真切切的代价。所以作者是支持该方面的研究的,故选D项。
35.What’s the best title for the passage?
A.Pros and Cons of Gene Drives
B.Gene Drives Make Our Life Safer
C.Dangers Gene Drives Bring to Us
D.One Concern We Don’t Ignore
答案A
解析主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要讨论了基因驱动科技的优缺点,所以A项可作为本文的标题。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Often,when you buy a computer,the laptop bag is overlooked,but it is one of the most valuable things a computer owner can have.Most choose a laptop simply because they want to be able to transport it from place to place. 36 The bag not only protects the computer from dirt or damage,it can also be used to carry other laptop parts,such as spare batteries,a computer mouse and any portable equipment you may have.
The first thing to consider when choosing the best laptop bag is what style of bag you may want.The most common styles are the briefcase(公文包)and the backpack. 37 The briefcase gives a sense of professionalism while the backpack may be easier to carry much of the time.
A laptop bag should have both a computer sleeve along with several separate sections.The sleeve helps keep the laptop from moving too much in the bag.The sections are good for storage of documents and other things you may want to transport along with the computer; 38
Another thing when you buy a laptop bag is making sure it is strongly sewed and has a solid bottom.These two things will make your bag much stronger,especially if it is the backpack style. 39 In some cases,it may just be a few months before a computer owner needs a new one.However if made properly,laptop bags can last five or more years.
40 Buying a cloth bag may be a cheaper option,but leather bags are generally made better and are able to stand up to use much better.Besides,leather offers a natural barrier to water when the computer is transported through rain or snow.
A.obviously the former is more important,though.
B.Each one has their own advantages as laptop bags.
C.Materials also make a difference,especially in the briefcase style.
D.But without a good laptop bag that becomes much more difficult
E.There are lots of choices when it comes to choosing the best laptop bag.
F.this will prevent them rubbing up against the computer and scratching it.
G.Choosing a cheap bag without these could greatly reduce the life of the bag.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文,主要讲述了如何选择并购买电脑包。
36.D 空前提到the laptop bag,人们在买电脑的时候,电脑包是被忽略的。有些人选择手提电脑是因为可以随身携带。空后说的是电脑包的优势。所以D项 “But without a good laptop bag that becomes much more difficult”符合上下文。D项的But起到了结构上的作用,将空前空后连接起来。
37.B 空前提到了“the briefcase and the backpack”公文包和双肩包两种电脑包的形式,空后提到了各自的优势,与B项中Each one相一致,所以B项符合。
38.F 根据“...The sleeve helps keep the laptop from moving...”,并结合空前分号说明此处和空前谈论的是同一个内容,空前提到了分区有利于文件和其他东西的存放,是在讲分区的优势,所以此处也是讲优势,可以帮助避免物品之间的摩擦。这与F项“prevent them rubbing up against the computer and scratching it”相一致,故选F项。
39.G 根据“...much stronger...”和下文“...be a few months...”可知,空前提到了两个因素可以使得电脑包更加牢固,空后提到很多情况下,没几个月就要换一个新的。所以此处是讲电脑包的质量问题。如果选择一个没有以上优势的便宜的电脑包,会减少电脑包的使用寿命。这与G项中“...reduce the life of the bag”相一致。
40.C 空后提到了“cloth”和“leather”两种材料,所以此处是要讲“material”,这与C项一致。

Cards and digital technologies 56 (kill) off cash slowly,but is it a cause for concern?Not 57 (necessary).Here are some ways of making the most of digital finance.
Cash is no longer king.Over recent years fewer and fewer transactions have been made with cash.The most recent figures show coins and notes are used just 34% of 58 time,down from 63% a decade ago.And the usage 59 (predict) to fall to just 10% in 15 years.
Instead we’re paying with cards and digital technologies.Some of this is down to user choice,with contact-less cards and smart phones making spending 60 (fast) and more convenient.
But it’s also being forced upon us.Some retailers are refusing physical money as they can avoid the high bank charges levied(征收) at them for 61 (handle) cash.Meanwhile it’s harder to get your hands on notes as cash machines and 62 (bank) disappear from the high street.And these are trends which are likely 63 (increase) in the coming years.
This could be bad news if you still primarily use cash, 64 that’s how you pay your bills or how you budget.For some,cash is just what you know.For 65 ,cash is a necessity—especially when going digital is the alternative.
As a result this move towards cashless society makes many uneasy.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了银行卡和数字科技正在慢慢取代现金以及这种趋势对人们生活的影响。
56.are killing 考查主谓一致。 根据语境可知,此处应使用现在进行时,表示现阶段正在发生的动作以及一种趋势;且主语Cards and digital technologies为复数形式,故填are killing。
57.necessarily 考查副词。not necessarily为固定词组,表示“不一定,未必”。
58.the 考查定冠词。此处the time特指“需要使用现金交易的时间”,故填the。
59.is predicted 考查语态。此处用一般现在时陈述客观事实,且usage作主语,谓语动词用单数形式,与predict构成被动关系,故填is predicted。
60.faster 考查比较级。and前后连接两个并列成分,由more convenient可知,此处应该也用形容词比较级。
61.handling 考查非谓语动词。此处作介词for的宾语,故使用动词-ing形式作宾语。
62.banks 考查名词。and前后连接两个并列的成分,bank作名词意为“银行”,为可数名词,由于前面没有出现表单数概念的词来修饰,故用复数形式。
63.to increase 考查非谓语动词。be likely to do sth表示“有可能做某事”,故填to increase。
64.whether 考查连词。whether...or...引导让步状语从句,表示“无论……还是……”,故填whether。
65.others 考查代词。根据语境可知,some...others...表示“一些人……另一些人……”。

Her name was Mrs Thompson.And as she stood in front of the 5th grade class on the very first day she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same.But that was impossible because there in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard.Mrs Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he didn’t play well with the other children,that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath.She paid no attention to Teddy.
However,when she read his file,she was in surprise.Teddy’s first grade teacher wrote,“Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh.He does his work neatly and has good manners...he is the joy to be around.”His second grade teacher wrote,“Teddy is an excellent student,well liked by his classmates.But he is troubled because his mother has a deadly illness and life at home must be a struggle.”His third grade teacher wrote,“His mother’s death has been hard on him.He tried to do his best but his father doesn’t show much interest.”Teddy’s fourth grade teacher wrote,“Teddy is withdrawn and doesn’t show much interest in school.He doesn’t have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class.” By now,Mrs Thompson realized the problem and she was ashamed of herself.She thought that she could make a difference.
She felt even worse when her students brought her Christmas presents,wrapped in beautiful paper and tied with pretty ribbons,except for Teddy’s.His present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy,brown paper that he got from a grocery bag.Mrs Thompson opened it in the middle of the other presents.Some of the children started to laugh when she found a stone bracelet(手镯)with some of the stones missing,and a bottle that was one-quarter full of perfume.
Paragraph 1:
Mrs Thompson,whose voice choked up with tears,thanked her students for their presents.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Ten years later,Teddy invited Mrs Thompson to attend his wedding as his mother.

Mrs Thompson,whose voice choked up with tears,thanked her students for their presents.And then she showed how she liked Teddy’s presents,putting the bracelet on,and using some of the perfume on her wrist.From then on,Mrs Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy.As she worked with him,his mind seemed to come alive.The more she encouraged him,the faster he responded and he showed much interest in study.By the end of the year,Teddy had become one of the excellent children in the class.
Paragraph 2:
Ten years later,Teddy invited Mrs Thompson to attend his wedding as his mother.She used the bracelet and the perfume which were the present of that year.At the wedding ceremony,she met the man with good manners.He said to her,“Thank you,Mrs Thompson.Today you smelled just like my mom used to.”Mrs Thompson,with tears in her eyes,whispered back.She said,“Teddy,you were the one who taught me that I could make a difference.I’m so proud that today I can be your mother!”
