阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Chinese food is considered to be the biggest cultural exchange between China and other countries. The following dishes are each special in their own way.
Peking Duck
This famous dish can be found at restaurants all around Beijing. High class restaurants take this dish so seriously that some even have their own duck farms and use only a special kind of duck for their specific Peking Duck dish. Peking Duck is famous for its, thin skin, and its delicious meat, which is highly popular among all foreigners, including foreign celebrities and leaders.
Won Ton Soup
Won Ton Soup, called "Hun Dun" in Chinese, is a highly welcoming dish in China. Since China is a country of many nationalities and different cultures, each region has their own shapes for won tons. Won tons are usually boiled and served in soup, but they can also be deep- fried.
Dumplings
During the Spring Festival, Chinese families will get together and have dumpling parties. It is said that the dish was invented by Zhang Zhongjing, one of the finest Chinese physicians in history. Dumplings have a 1,800-year-long history, which is why it is one of the most popular traditional foods in China and extremely popular in Western countries. They may be cooked by boiling, steaming, simmering, frying or baking.
Egg-fried Rice
Firstly from China's ancient western regions, egg-fried rice has now become part of Chinese people's daily food. Famous for its pleasant smells, soft taste and handsome appearance, one can easily find this popular dish anywhere in China, from high class hotels to family-run restaurants on the street. While it is fairly easy to make, there are some points that should be kept in mind: use left-over rice rather than newly cooked rice for better taste. Additionally, before frying, the rice should be churned up.
21. Which of the following has its own farm?'
A. Restaurants serving Won Ton Soup.
B. Restaurants, serving Peking Duck.
C. Restaurants serving dumplings.
D. Restaurants serving Egg-fried Rice.
22. What makes dumplings so popular in China and Western countries?

Florence, a 17-year-old senior student in High School, was busy ,composing(编曲)a song. She plans to release an album(唱片)with three other music lovers whom she met at the 2016 Campus Singing Competition. Edward, 18, is another one of the four students to make their own album. Actually, he was the one who came up with this fun idea in the first place.
"Everyone loves music. Being a good way to express our feelings and emotions, music can tell something about who we are and our experience of the world. We hope we can use our music to touch our peers(同龄人)." Edward said.
The album includes 15 songs across three themes - love, campus life, and youth, with pop and electronic music styles. The inspiration for the songs came from the students' lives. Take the song Sea of Tranquility for example - it was written by Edward during a flight back to Chengdu after he took part in the China High School Biology Olympiad in summer. "The sky is clear and the ground looks small from the plane. This scene makes me feel calm and peaceful." Edward explained.
The songs were created one by one with the efforts of the four writers. But a challenge soon appeared. The students found that they didn't have enough money to produce the album. So to cut down their budget, they used an iPad and headphones to record the songs in an empty classroom on the weekend.
Apart from reducing their cost, they also tried to raise money through crowd funding on the internet. They raised more than 7,000 dollars before the album was released in October. "Thanks to all the supporters, we'll keep working on our own music." Edward said.
24. Why did they make the album?
A. To earn money. B. To be famous.
C. To influence young people. D. To make friends.
25. Which of the following best describes Edward and his music team?
A. Upset. B. Stubborn.
C. Generous. D. Determined.
26. What was the problem when they produced the album?
A. Short of money. B. Disagreement on the theme.
C. Stress from teachers. D. Poor abilities on making music.
27. What's the best title of the text?

C. Theme Music D. School Life

Do you think it enough to have eight hours of sleep per might? Napoleon didn't agree with it. His saying went something like this: "Six hours for a man, seven for a woman and eight for a fool." But Napoleon's words weren't right, either. The ideal amount of sleep is different for everyone and depends on many factors, including age and genetic makeup.
In the past 10 years, my research team has surveyed sleep behavior in more than 150,000 people. About 11 percent slept six hours or less, while only 27 percent clocked eight hours or more. Most people fell in between. Women tended to sleep longer than men, but only by 14 minutes. Bigger differences are seen when comparing various age groups. Ten-year-olds needed about nine hours of sleep, while adults older than 30, including senior citizens, averaged about seven hours. We recently-found the first gene related to sleep length—if you have one kind of this gene, you need more sleep than if you have another.
Although it's common to hear warnings about .getting too much sleep—and 80 percent of the world uses an alarm clock to wake up on workdays—it's not difficult to figure out how much sleep we need. We sometimes overeat, but we generally cannot oversleep. When we wake up naturally, feeling comfortable, we have slept enough. In our modern society, we sleep about two hours less per night than 50 years ago. This sleep deprivation greatly decreases our work performance and harms our health and memory.
28. What main point does the writer try to make in Paragraph 1?
A. Napoleon has his own sense of sleep time.
B. The quality of sleep time is more important.
C. Having 8 hours of sleep per night is common sense.
D. Different people needs different amount of sleep time.
29. What do we know from Paragraph 2?
A. Women sleep much more than men. B. The older one is, the longer one sleeps.
C. Most people sleep between 6-and 8 hours. D. The sleep time is decided by gene.
30. What does the underlined phrase “steep deprivation” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Too much sleep. B. A light sleep. C. No enough sleep. D. A deep sleep.
31. Where does this passage probably come from?
A. A guidebook. B. A school report. C. A novel. D. A scientific research.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. C 31. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项调查了超过15万人的睡眠研究，介绍了其研究发现和现代社会人们的睡眠特点。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Do you think it enough to have eight hours of sleep per might? Napoleon didn't agree with it. His saying went something like this: "Six hours for a man, seven for a woman and eight for a fool." But Napoleon's words weren't right, either. The ideal amount of sleep is different for everyone and depends on many factors, including age and genetic makeup.(你认为每个人睡八小时够吗？拿破仑不同意这个说法。他的说法大致是这样的：“男人六个小时，女人七个小时，傻瓜八个小时。”但是拿破仑的话也不对。理想的睡眠时间因人而异，取决于很多因素，包括年龄和基因组成)”可知，作者在第一段中试图表达的主要观点是不同的人需要不同的睡眠时间。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“About 11 percent slept six hours or less, while only 27 percent clocked eight hours or more. Most people fell in between.(约11%的人睡6个小时或更短，只有27%的人睡8个小时或更久。大多数人介于两者之间)”可知，大多数人睡6到8个小时。故选C。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“In our modern society, we sleep about two hours less per night than 50 years ago.(在现代社会，我们每晚的睡眠时间比50年前少了大约两个小时)”以及后文“greatly decreases our work performance and harms our health and memory”可知，现在的人们比以前少睡了两个小时，即睡眠不足，这种睡眠不足会大大降低我们的工作表现，损害我们的健康和记忆力。故画线词意思是“睡眠不足”。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“In the past 10 years, my research team has surveyed sleep behavior in more than 150,000 people.( 在过去的10年里，我的研究团队调查了超过15万人的睡眠行为)”结合文章主要介绍了一项调查了超过15万人的睡眠研究，介绍了其研究发现和现代社会人们的睡眠特点。可推知，文章可能选自科学研究。故选D。

American businessman Tom Stevens thinks that a robot dog could help people with Alzheimer's disease. He recently presented a test of a yellow dog to old people of a nursing home in California.
To develop the device, Stevens company Tombot worked with Jim Henson's Creature Shop, a company set up by the famous creator of the Muppets.
Stevens believes the robot dog, which moves its head from side to side and shakes its tail, can help people with Alzheimer's. It is also easier to care for than a real dog, he said. The robot has 16 motors to control its movements and has sensors that cause it to respond to voice commands and discover how people are touching it.
Stevens said he came up with the idea for the robot after his mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2011 Stevens had a background in investing in robotics and he wondered whether the technology could help people like his mother.
The Sage Mountain nursing home is a place where many people suffer from Alzheimer's disease and other memory-related illnesses. People there often pet the robot, which puts smiles on their faces. “The dog is very interactive, the tail shaking, responding to them calling her name.” said Caroline Gibson, a spokeswoman for the nursing home. She added that it was "rally, amazing" to see the nursing home's old people feel at ease.
Tombot plans to have its first commercial sales of its robot dogs in 2020. It will enter a robot dog market that includes Sony's Aibo, among others. P&S Market Research guesses that the market for personal robots may reach over. $30 billion by 2022.
32. What can we infer from the text?
A. Tombot developed the robot by himself.
B. A robot dog is a good helper for old people.
C. It is easier to care for a real dog than a robot dog.
D. A robot dog can respond to people's facia1 expressions.
33. Why did Stevens develop the robot dog?
A. He had befitted a Tot from robotics.
B. He wanted to help a nursing house.
C. He was interested in making robot dogs for the old.
D. He wanted to help people with Alzheimer's disease.
34. What's the attitude of Caroline Gibson towards the robot dog?
A. Discouraged. B. Supportive. C. Unconcerned. D. Doubtful.
35. What's the purpose of the text?
A. To introduce a new device. B. To tell a moving story.
C. To give a useful advice. D. To present a research test.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. B 35. A

___39___
At present, the basic method of controlling locusts is with insecticides（杀虫剂）sprayed from the ground or the air. There are also biological pest control measures.___40___The biggest enemies are birds. Frogs, spiders, and mantises are natural enemies too. The method has proved effective and at a low cost.
A. Are locusts of no use at all?
B. The locust has its natural enemies
C. Is there no way to stop the locusts?
D. Many insect species compete with us for food.

这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了文物的重要性和作用，以及面对目前文物被破坏的情况，提出了一些建议。
【61题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：上个月，我家乡的警察抓到了一些卖文物给外国人的人。根据上文“Last month”可知描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故填caught。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：正如我们所知，大多数文物能让我们很好地了解我们国家的历史和文化，是非常有价值的，因为他们见证了我们国家的历史。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词cultural relics，先行词在从句中作主语，指物，故应用关系代词which引导，that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
【63题详解】
考查形容词。句意：我们也可以从我们的祖先那里学到很多，并为自己是一个中国人而感到自豪。feel为系动词，后跟形容词proud，作表语。故填proud。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意：此外，当保护完好的文物向公众开放时，我们能够发展旅游业，促进经济。结合句意表示“此外”可知短语为in addition，句首单词首字母要大写。故填In。
【65题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：然而，到目前为止，一些文物已经被人们破坏了。根据后文“so far”可知应用现在完成时，且主语与谓语动词构成被动关系，故应用现在完成时的被动语态，主语为some cultural relics，助动词用have。故填have been damaged。
【66题详解】
考查比较级。句意：所以毫无疑问，如果人们不断地破坏它们，会有更多的遗迹消失。根据后文“than ever”可知应用比较级more。故填more。
【67题详解】
考查it作形式主语。句意：买卖文物是违法的。此处为it作形式主语，后文不定式“to sell or buy cultural relics”为真正主语。句首单词首字母要大写。故填It。
【68题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：我们必须采取措施保护他们。measure为可数名词，表示“采取措施做某事”短语为take measures to do sth.。故填measures。
【69题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：首先，我们可以发表演讲，张贴海报来教育人们保护文物的重要性。分析句子结构可知educate在句中应用非谓语动词形式，此处作目的状语，应用不定式。故填to educate。
70题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：此外，可以筹钱来修理一些建筑物。此处为“have+宾语+宾补”结构，且repair与some buildings构成被动关系，故应用过去分词作宾补。故填repaired。

4.silent→silence
5.去掉out
6.teach→teaching
7. which→that或者去掉which
8.strongly→strong
9.an→a
10.Late→Later
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了海伦·凯勒的故事。
【详解】1.考查名词的数。句意：海伦·凯勒是20世纪最伟大的女性之一。one of+形容词最高级+可数名词复数，表示“最……之一”，所以此处woman需用其复数形式women。故将woman改为women。
2.考查时态。句意：她生于1880年，卒于1968年。由时间状语in 1968可知，此处谓语动词需用一般过去时，表示过去发生的事情。故将dies改为died。
3.考查固定短语。句意：当她19个月大的时候，她因为一场严重的疾病变得又盲又聋。本句中a serious illness是名词短语，所以此处需用because of引导，because因为，从属连词，其后需接句子，because of介词短语，其后需接名词或名词性短语。故在because后加of。
4.考查名词。句意：从那时起，她就生活在黑暗和寂静之中。介词in后需用名词作宾语，所以此处需用名词silence“寂静”和前文的 darkness并列作介词in的宾语。故将 silent改为silence。
5.考查动词。句意：当她七岁时，她的父母为她找了一位名叫Miss Sullivan小姐的老师。find out查明，弄清楚，此处表示找到一位老师需用动词find。故去掉out。
6.考查动名词。句意：虽然Miss Sullivan教她有困难，但她们克服了遇到的所有困难。have trouble (in) doing sth.“做某事有困难”，是固定搭配，所以此处需用动名词作宾语。故将teach改为teaching。
7.考查定语从句。句意同上。此处 they met是定语从句，先行词是the difficulties ，且先行词被all修饰，关系词在定语从句中作宾语，所以此处需用关系代词that引导宾语从句，因为关系代词在定语从句中作宾语，所以关系代词也可以省略。故将which改为that或者去掉which。
8.考查形容词。句意：由于海伦坚强的意志，她成为了一名优秀的学生。修饰名词will需用形容词，副词常用来修饰动词，所以此处需用形容词strong作定语。故将strongly改为strong。
9.考查冠词。句意：最终她获得了英国文学的大学学位。university是以辅音音素开头的单词，表示泛指时需用不定冠词a。故将an改为a。
10.考查固定短语。句意：后来，她致力于帮助盲聋儿童。later on“后来”，是固定短语，作状语，符合题意。故将Late改为Later。
