2019届英语卷(北京)
第一部分:知识运用(共两节,45分)
第一节　语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,共15分)
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。
A
On the first day of my first grade,I stood by the door with butterflies in my stomach.I 　1　 (voice) my biggest concern to my mother,“How will I make friends?”She handed me advice,“Be yourself.”For the past 20 years,I have lived by these words.Soon I will graduate and become part of the real world.Nervously 　2　 (face) challenges,I know I will whisper to 　3　 (I) the two simple words “Be yourself”. 
答案与解析
【语篇解读】上一年级的第一天,妈妈告诉我“做你自己”。从那时起,妈妈的这条建议就一直伴随着我。
1.voiced　考查动词时态。提示词voice是动词,句中缺少谓语动词;由上一句中的stood可知,此处应用一般过去时。
2.facing　考查非谓语动词。由于句子的主语I与face之间存在主动关系,所以应用facing。
3.myself　考查反身代词。由于句子的主语I与to的宾语是指同一个人,所以此处应用I的反身代词myself。

B
Earth Day,　4　(mark) on 22 April,is an annual event aiming to raise public awareness about environmental protection.First celebrated 　5　 1970,the Day now includes events in more than 190 countries and regions(地区).No matter what you like to do,there is a way to get involved in various 　6　(activity) on Earth Day.You can plant a tree,make a meal with locally grown vegetables,or save power—the possibilities are endless. 
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文介绍了“地球日”设立的目的、起源以及人们在“地球日”的活动。
4.marked　考查非谓语动词。EarthDay后已经有了谓语动词is,故此处应用mark的非谓语动词形式;又因为EarthDay与mark之间存在被动关系,故填marked。
5.in　考查介词。表示“在某一年”要用介词in。
6.activities　考查名词。提示词activity是名词,various后要接复数名词,所以填activities。

C
Does the name of the college you attend really matter?Research on the question 　7　 (suggest) that,for most students,it doesn’t.What students do at college seems to matter much more than 　8　 they go.The students benefitting most from college are those 　9　 are totally engaged(参与) in academic life,taking full advantage of the college’s chances and resources(资源).Students should have a proper attitude towards college before thinking about which college to attend,and it’s never too early to make necessary preparations for a healthy and 　10　(meaning) college experience. 
答案与解析
【语篇解读】对于大多数学生来说,所上大学的名字其实不重要,重要的是他们在大学里所做的事情。
7.suggests/suggested/has suggested　考查动词时态。提示词suggest是动词,而that前面的主句部分缺少谓语;根据空后的itdoesn’t可知,此处应用与现在相关的时态,也可用一般过去时。
8.where　考查引导词。than后的从句中缺少状语,再根据第一句“Doesthenameofthecollegeyouattendreallymatter?”可知,此处用where表示“他们所上的大学”。
9.who/that　考查定语从句引导词。此处those用来指人,其定语从句引导词常用who/that引导。
10.meaningful　考查形容词。and连接并列的成分,由其前的healthy可知,此处应填meaning的形容词形式。
第二节　完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,共30分)
阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A retired engineer,76-year-old Wilson has been 　11　 free rides to college students for the past eight years.Since he first started 　12　 his car to the young people,Wilson has 　13　 an astonishing 64,000 miles,and has had countless pleasant and often humorous 　14　 with the students he transports to and from school.The students who he’s 　15　 have gone on to become physicians,teachers and engineers,but what they’ve also got out of their time in school is finding a role model and a friend in Wilson.Some students 　16　call him “Grandpa”. 
Tina Stern 　17　 rides from Wilson for all her four years in college, and the trips meant much more to her than just free 　18　.“It’s not just a ride;you’re not just sitting there in 　19　 silence or with your headphones on,”Stern said.“He asks you questions and actually 　20　 the answers,so the next time you ride with him,he’ll 　21　 those things.” 
Wilson first worked as a driver through a student-support programme of the non-profit organisation,On Point for College.Although the 　22　 asks the members only to drive students to and from their classes,Wilson often goes 　23　 to ensure the welfare and safety of the students.If they have problems with registration,Wilson is there to 　24　 them.If they run out of certain daily necessities,Wilson will drive to the nearest store and purchase what’s needed.If a student gets hungry on the long drives to and from school,Wilson never 　25　 to buy them a meal. 
For many students,Wilson’s help is not only appreciated,it’s also entirely 　26　 for them to be able to complete their college education.Some students don’t have a reliable car,while others have to 　27　 vehicles with parents who work six days a week.For them,riding with Wilson has 　28　 them to complete their education—but according to Wilson,he benefits just as much from the 　29　.“I just love driving,and I love these kids,”Wilson said.“It’s such a(n) 　30　 to be a part of these kids’ lives,even just for a few hours,getting to know them and hearing their stories.”

Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur(创业者),who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy.By the time she was 13,her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids’ teeth,instead of destroying them.

It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad.On the outing,she was offered a candy bar.However,her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth.But Moore was sick of missing out on candies.So she desired to get round the warning,“Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it?”With that in mind,Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company.He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.
With her dad’s permission,she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly.She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning.Consequently,she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners,which can reduce oral bacteria.
Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground.Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore’s product—CanCandy.
As CanCandy’s success grows,so does Moore’s credibility as a young entrepreneur.Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created,and she’s also positive about what the future might bring.She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile.
Meanwhile,with her parents’ help,Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life.Although she founded her company early on in life,she wasn’t driven primarily by profit.Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles.She donates 10% of AilieCandy’s profits to Big Smiles.With her talent and determination,it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.

The problem of robocalls has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don’t know.By next year,half of the calls we receive will be scams(欺诈).We are finally waking up to the severity of the problem by supporting and developing a group of tools,apps and approaches intended to prevent scammers from getting through.Unfortunately,it’s too little,too late.By the time these “solutions”(解决方案)become widely available,scammers will have moved onto cleverer means.In the near future,it’s not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt.Soon you will also question whether the voice you’re hearing is actually real.
That’s because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation(处理) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use.At this year’s I/O Conference,a company showed a new voice technology able to produce such a convincing human-sounding voice that it was able to speak to a receptionist and book a reservation without detection.
These developments are likely to make our current problems with robocalls much worse.The reason that robocalls are a headache has less to do with amount than precision.A decade of data breaches(数据侵入) of personal information has led to a situation where scammers can easily learn your mother’s name,and far more.Armed with this knowledge,they’re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people.This means,for example,that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller’s,tricking you into “confirming” your address,mother’s name,and card number.Scammers follow money,so companies will be the worst hit.A lot of business is still done over the phone,and much of it is based on trust and existing relationships.Voice manipulation technologies may weaken that gradually.
We need to deal with the insecure nature of our telecom networks.Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real.That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images,showing when and who they were made by,or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications—using apps like FaceTime or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity.
Credibility is hard to earn but easy to lose,and the problem is only going to get harder from here on out.
【语篇解读】本文是议论文。自动拨号电话越来越打扰人们的生活,虽然我们也采取一些措施来应对,但往往落后一步。随着科技的发展,自动拨打的电话将对我们造成更大的困扰。
38.How does the author feel about the solutions to the problem of robocalls?
A.Panicked. B.Confused.

解析推理判断题。根据第一段的第四、五句“Unfortunately,it’stoolittle,toolate.Bythetimethese‘solutions’becomewidelyavailable,scammerswillhavemovedontocleverermeans.”可知,作者对有关自动拨号电话的解决办法很失望。所以选D项。

By the end of the century,if not sooner,the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate,according to a new study.
At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms(海洋微生物) called phytoplankton.Because of the way light reflects off the organisms,these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface.Ocean colour varies from green to blue,depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton.Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas,while reducing it in other spots,leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.
Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface,where they pull carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)into the ocean while giving off oxygen.When these organisms die,they bury carbon in the deep ocean,an important process that helps to regulate the global climate.But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend.Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth,since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.
Stephanie Dutkiewicz,a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science,built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century.In a world that warms up by 3 ℃,it found that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur.The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer.But in some waters,such as those of the Arctic,a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton,and these areas will turn greener.“Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing,”she said,“but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”
And why does that matter?Phytoplankton are the base of the food web.If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean,Dutkiewicz said,“it will change the type of fish that will be able to survive.”Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.
Whatever colour changes the ocean experiences in the coming decades will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable,but they could mean significant changes.“It’ll be a while before we can statistically show that the changes are happening because of climate change,”Dutkiewicz said,“but the change in the colour of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”
【语篇解读】本文是说明文。本文介绍了全球气候变化对海洋颜色的影响。
42.What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?
A.The various patterns at the ocean surface.
B.The cause of the changes in ocean colour.
C.The way light reflects off marine organisms.
D.The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.
答案B
解析主旨大意题。根据文章前两段的内容可知,这两段主要介绍了海洋颜色发生变化的原因。所以选B项。
43.What does the underlined word“vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Sensitive. B.Beneficial.
C.Significant. D.Unnoticeable.
答案A
解析词义猜测题。根据下一句“Warmingchangeskeycharacteristicsoftheoceanandcanaffectphytoplanktongrowth”可知,浮游生物容易受到气候变暖的影响,vulnerable的含义与sensitive最为接近。所以选A项。
44.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Phytoplankton play a declining role in the marine ecosystem.
B.Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.
C.Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.
D.Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第四段第四句“Butinsomewaters...,awarmingwillmakeconditionsriperforphytoplankton,andtheseareaswillturngreener.”可知在某些海域,气候变暖给浮游生物提供更成熟的条件,而这些水域将会变得更绿。所以选D项。
45.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To assess the consequences of ocean colour changes.
B.To analyse the composition of the ocean food chain.
C.To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.
D.To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.
答案C
解析写作意图题。通读文章的第一段以及最后一段的内容可知,作者写这篇文章的主要目的就是解释气候变化对海洋的影响。所以选C项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个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。
Much of the work in today’s world is accomplished(完成) in teams.Most people believe the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals.　46　 Companies spend millions hiring top business people.Is their money well spent? 
　47　 They focused on football,basketball and baseball.The results are mixed.For football and basketball,adding talented players to a team proves a good method,but only up to the point where 70% of the players are top talent;above that level,the team’s performance begins to decline.Interestingly,this trend isn’t evident in baseball,where additional individual talent keeps improving the team’s performance. 
To explain this phenomenon,the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate(协调) their actions.　48　 In baseball,the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates.They conclude that when task interdependence is high,team performance will suffer when there is too much talent,while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence is lower.If a basketball star is,for example,trying to gain a high personal point total,he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate,affecting the team’s performance.Young children learning to play team sports are often told,“There is no I in TEAM.”　49　 
Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team,some players may make less effort.Just as in a game of tug-of-war(拔河比赛),whenever a person is added,everyone else pulls the rope with less force.
　50　 An A-team may require a balance—not just A players,but a few generous B players as well. 
A.It’s not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent.
B.Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talent.
C.The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers’ attention.
D.Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.
E.Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world.
F.Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent.
G.This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一个团队的成功与顶尖队员之间的关系。
46.B　本题考查细节句。根据下文提到的“Companiesspendmillionshiringtopbusinesspeople.Istheirmoneywellspent?”可知,B项在句子结构和句意上均与下文吻合。
47.E　本题考查主旨句。根据本段第二句“Theyfocusedonfootball,basketballandbaseball.”内容可知,本段讲述天赋在运动中的作用。
48.G　本题考查过渡句。空前一句表明,“为了解释这一现象,研究人员探索了团队队员的协调程度对团队表现的影响”,选项G中的“taskinterdependence”与空前句中的“coordinatetheiractions”文意对应,同时,在空格后也多次重现。而G项正好起到承上启下的作用。所以选G项。
49.D　本题考查段尾句。根据本段空前的句子“ThereisnoIinTEAM.”是人们经常告诉小孩子的话。D项中的thisbasicprincipleofsportsmanship正好与这条原则相符。所以选D项。
50.F　本题考查主旨句。本段下文讲述一个优秀的团队需要一种平衡,而不仅仅是顶尖队员。故F项“Buildingupadreamteamismorecomplexthansimplyhiringthebesttalent.”可作为本段的主旨句。
第三部分:书面表达(共两节,35分)

参考范文
Last week,a social activity,whose subject is“Labour is the most glorious”,was organized by our school to develop the students’ love for labour.First,our teacher told us the importance of labour and the meaning of the social activity.After packing my suitcase,I as well as my classmates set off for our destination—a farm in the morning.The moment we arrived there,we started to help the farmers harvest watermelons,for which the farmers praised us.We arrived home in the afternoon,tired but pleased.While having dinner,I told my parents what we had done on the farm.They were also delighted and satisfied with the social activity.
