A
Singapore is a very modern country in Southeast Asia. If you’ve been traveling in its capital city, Singapore, it can be a shock when it comes to accommodation prices. For backpackers they have no choice but to stay outside of the central area. If you are a visitor, I think it’s best to stay in the historic central area to make the most of your time. For first-timers I have put together this list of the best areas to stay in Singapore.
Chinatown
Chinatown is where the original community of Chinese immigrants settled in Singapore. The area is lined with Chinese stores, markets, and great places to eat for all budgets. It lies next to the downtown area and there is a variety of accommodation choices, from hostels (招待所) to 5-star hotels.
Little India
Little India is where most of the original Indian migrants made their home. Today it is still famous for temples, markets, and lots of places to eat delicious Indian foods. It’s the most popular spot for backpackers and there are some good mid-range choices here.
Kampong Glam
A short walk from Little India is the Kampong Glam area. This is where Arab traders set up shops, with street names such as Haji Lane, Baghdad St, and Arab St. The neighborhood is now one of the trendiest in Singapore.
Changi Airport
With one of the biggest airports in the region, the chances are you might just be passing without time to stay. Changi Airport is awarded as one of the best in the world, so if you have to do an overnighter at an airport, then you couldn’t have a better experience than at Changi. I didn’t get any sleep but it was an enjoyable stay for an airport.
1. What will make backpackers disappointed in Singapore?
A. The remote location of the hotels. B. The system of accommodation.
C. The high charges of the hotels. D. The accommodation with poor facilities.
2. Which area is close to the center of Singapore?
A. Chinatown. B. Little India. C. Changi Airport. D. Kampong Glam.
3. What do we know about Changi Airport?
A. It witnesses a noisy environment. B. It has gained a fairly good reputation.
C. It offers passengers worse service. D. It is the biggest airport in Singapore.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇应用文。本文介绍了作者为初到新加坡的人提供住宿的建议。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“If you’ve been traveling in its capital city, Singapore, it can be a shock when it comes to accommodation prices. For backpackers they have no choice but to stay outside of the central area.（如果你在新加坡的首都旅行过，当谈到住宿价格时，你可能会感到震惊。对于背包客来说，他们别无选择，只能待在市中心以外。）”可知，在住宿价格方面，新加坡可能会让人大为震惊，背包客不得不住在市中心之外的地方。由此可知，高昂的住宿费迫使这些背包客远离市中心，让他们很失望。故选C项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据题干中的“close to the center of Singapore”可把解题线索定位到Chinatown 部分中的“It lies next to the downtown area and there is a variety of accommodation choices, from hostels to 5-star hotels.（它毗邻市中心，有各种各样的住宿选择，从招待所到五星级酒店。）”可知，Chinatown（唐人街）靠近新加坡市中心附近。故选A项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Changi Airport部分中的“Changi Airport is awarded as one of the best in the world, so if you have to do an overnighter at an airport, then you couldn’t have a better experience than at Changi. （樟宜机场被认为是世界上最好的机场之一，所以如果你必须在机场过夜，那么没有比樟宜机场更好的体验了。）”可知，该机场被评为世界上最好的机场之一，即有着很好的名声。故选B项。
B
A Bachelor of Arts degree requires basic skills in a second language. It means you have to complete two years of university-level language study. I was lucky because I had studied Spanish before, though I wasn’t good at it, so I chose this language to learn at college. But that first day of Spanish class practicing mock(模拟的) conversations in an overcrowded room felt like the worst days of middle school Spanish classes. I felt I was not improving.
After my first year in college, I decided to travel to a Spanish-speaking country for part of the summer to improve my Spanish. I traveled to Guatemala for three weeks study: two in Quetzaltenango, which is a mid-sized town, and one in rural area. I lived with a host family, had one-on-one language classes, learned traditional weaving, and drank the most delicious hot chocolate I have ever tasted and went to strange places by myself. I communicated. I learned.
It was not until I traveled that I discovered the power of a second language. I had opened the door to conversations with people on a whole continent. By the time I did my official study abroad in Valdivia, Chile for the spring quarter of my second year of college, I was already at a fluent speaking level. I could make friends. I could talk about ideas and people’s lives. I could ask questions. I could be myself.
When you’re trying to learn a second language in a classroom, you’re surrounded by other people who also don’t speak the language. So whatever stage of language learning you’re now at, try to push yourself to find a couple of non-class opportunities to improve your skills. If you’re in a university town, there are probably language learners looking for language partners. There are increasing opportunities for formal and informal tutoring online in various languages. They’re all out there; it’s just up to you to find them.
4. How did the author most probably find his Spanish class at college?
A. Useful. B. Interesting. C. Disappointing. D. Challenging.
5 What did the author do in Guatemala?
A. He took private Spanish classes.
B. He taught the locals to weave.
C. He traveled all around the country.
D. He explored strange places with friends.
6. What can be learned about the author from Paragraph3?
A. He traveled a lot during college.
B. He found language learning difficult.
C. He had a difficult time in Valdivia.
D. He made great progress in Spanish.
7. Why does the author write the text?
A. To advertise online language classes.
B. To encourage language learners to put the language to use.
C. To show the power of a second language.
D. To explain how to get a Bachelor of Arts degree.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B
【解析】

About 6.000 different languages are spoken around the world. The Foundation for Endangered Languages estimates that between 500 and 1,000 of those are spoken by only a handful of people. And every year the world loses around 25 mother tongues. This week a conference organized by the foundation is being attended by about 100 academics. They are discussing rare languages in Ireland, China, Australia and Spain.
“I do think it is a good thing for a child on the Isle of Man to learn Manx(the language of the Isle of Man with about 100 speakers now). I value continuity in a community,” says Nicholoas Ostler, the foundation’s chairman. In Europe, Mr Ostler’s view seems to command official support. There is the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (ECRML), which every European Union (EU) member has signed, and the EU has a project called the European Language Diversity for All (ELDIA), designed to protect the most threatened native tongues. At the end of last year the project received $2.7m to identify those languages most at risk.
But for some this is not just a waste of resources but a misunderstanding of how language works. “To have a public policy that a certain culture or language should be preserved shows a fundamental misunderstanding. In the end, whether or not a language can exist is very simple. If a language is one that people don’t participate in, it’s not a language anymore,” says writer and broadcaster Kenan Malik.
American journalist Jeff Bell agrees that languages are decided by people not politicians. And Mr Bell says politicians make a “category mistake” when they try to get in the way of language, mentioning an experiment in Glasgow’s schools. “Offering Gaelic to children of people who don’t speak it seems like the preservation of lost glories. It’s very romantic to try and save a language but nonsense,” says Bell.
“Language is not a plant that rises and falls, lives and dies. It’s a tool that is perfectly adapted by the people using it. Get on with living and talking.” adds Bell.
8. What do the ECRML and the ELDIA aim at?
A. Studying the origins of minority languages.
B. Introducing more official languages to the EU.
C. Identifying regional languages across the EU.
D. Preventing rare languages from extinction(灭绝).
9. Which of the following might Malik agree with?
A. The development of a language is in the hands of speakers.
B. Languages are equally important.
C. Language protection lies in governmental effort.
D. The preservation of a language is to preserve a culture.
10. What is Bell’s prediction for the experiment in Glasgow’s schools?
A. It will be considered a glory.
B. It will very likely be a vain attempt.
C. It will make Gaelic popular again.
D. It will be opposed by the teachers.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. How should we protect threatened tongues?
B. Why is it important to learn our mother tongues?
C. Are dying languages worth saving?
D. Do we speak the languages our ancestors speak?
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章就“濒危语言值不值得救”展开讨论。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段第三句内容“There is the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages (ECRML), which every European Union (EU) member has signed, and the EU has a project called the European Language Diversity for All (ELDIA), designed to protect the most threatened native tongues. (有每个欧盟成员国都签署的《欧洲区域或少数民族语言宪章》(ECRML)，欧盟也有一个名为“全民欧洲语言多样性”(ELDIA)的项目，旨在保护那些最受威胁的母语。)”可知，ECRML and the ELDIA的宗旨都是为了保护濒危语言。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段第四句内容“If a language is one that people don’t participate in, it’s not a language anymore,” says writer and broadcaster Kenan Malik. (如果一种语言是人们不参与的，那它就不再是一种语言，”作家兼播音员凯南·马利克说。)”可知，他认为一门语言最后是否能存活下来在于有没有人说这门语言。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第第四段最后一句内容“It’s very romantic to try and save a language but nonsense,” says Bell. (试图拯救一门语言是非常浪漫的，但却毫无意义。”贝尔说。)”可推知，在Bell看来，这一做法很可能会失败。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段最后两句内容“This week a conference organized by the foundation is being attended by about 100 academics. They are discussing rare languages in Ireland, China, Australia and Spain. (本周，该基金会组织了一场会议，约有100位学者参加。他们正在讨论爱尔兰、中国、澳大利亚和西班牙稀有语言。)”以及文章内容围绕“濒危语言值不值得救”展开的讨论可知，C选项为最合适的标题。故选C项。
D
One step too far
Scientists have been trying to figure out how to alter the genes of humans for many years now, and it looks like they've finally cracked (破解) the code. But while this may seem like a great step forward in science, some also believe that it's one step back when it comes to ethics.
In August, a group of scientists from the US and South Korea worked together to successfully edit a human embryo and remove a genetic mutation (突变) that would have led to heart disease, reported The Guardian.
This was achieved with the help of CRISPR, a gene-editing tool that allows scientists to “cut and paste” human DNA.
Although this was the first example of an embryo's genes being changed successfully, the benefits of gene editing have already been tested in living patients.
In 2015, a five-month-old girl from the UK was saved after doctors used edited cells to fight off her cancer. As of today, she's alive and well.
And in the US last year, scientists managed to remove HIV cells from several patients by editing the genes inside their bodies.
Some people hope that in the future, diseases or birth detects could simply be “edited out”. However, others believe this could lead to so-called designer babies, giving parents the option to choose everything from eye color to intelligence.
“You could find wealthy parents buying the latest ‘upgrades’ for their children, leading to even greater inequality than we already live with,” Marcy Darnovsky, director of the San Francisco Center for Genetics, told BBC News.
In spite of these ethical concerns, experts say it’s not possible to create the “perfect” human being. Despite the progress scientists have made, we don’t understand human genes enough to give all unborn child great brainpower or amazing singing abilities.
“Right now, we know nothing about genetic enhancement,” Hank Greely, a director of sciences at Stanford University, US, told The New York Times. “We’re never going to be able to say, honestly, ‘This embryo looks like it would score high on the two-part SAT.’”
So it looks like if we want good exam results, or to impress people with our piano skills, we’ll have to stick with the old fashioned method of plain hard work — at least for now.
12. The underlined word “alter” in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.
A. record
B. change
C. remove
D. increase
13. Why do some people consider human gene editing a step backwards？ ______
A. They don't think it is an effective way to light diseases.
B. They are concerned that it could lead to genetic mutations.
C. They think it could lead to designer babies and increased inequality.
D. They worry that it could make parents abandon children with birth defects.
14. What was the first successful example of human embryo gene editing？ ______
A. A genetic mutation related to heart disease was removed by scientists
B. A newborn baby with cancer was saved by edited cells.
C. HIV cells were removed from patients’ bodies.
D. Some birth defects were simply edited out.
15. What can we conclude from the text？ ______
A. Gene editing is regarded as the perfect way to treat birth defects.
B. There is still a long way to go to fully understand human genes.
C. Gene editing could help enhance human intelligence in the near future.
D. Scientists are pessimistic about the future of gene editing.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家们在研究人类基因上取得的一些成果以及仍然面临的问题。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后的and it looks like they've finally cracked (破解) the code.可知，看起来他们终于破解了密码，这说明科学家们一直在研究如何改变人类的基因，由此可知划线词词义为“改变”。故B项正确。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第七段中的However，others believe this could lead to so-called designer babies，giving parents the option to choose everything from eye color to intelligence.可知，然而，另一些人认为，这可能会导致所谓的“设计师婴儿”，让父母可以选择从眼睛颜色到智力等一切东西；再根据第八段中的You could find wealthy parents buying the latest ‘upgrades’ for their children, leading to even greater inequality than we already live with 可知，你可能会发现富有的父母为他们的孩子购买最新的基因升级产品，导致比我们已经所拥有的更严重的不平等，由此可知，有些人认为人类基因编辑是一种倒退是他们认为这可能会导致“设计师婴儿”和加剧不平等性。故C项正确。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段In August, a group of scientists from the US and South Korea worked together to successfully edit a human embryo and remove a genetic mutation (突变) that would have led to heart disease, reported The Guardian.可知，据英国《卫报》报道，今年8月，一组来自美国和韩国的科学家共同努力，成功编辑了一个人类胚胎，并移除了一个可能导致心脏病的基因突变，由此可知，人类胚胎基因编辑的第一个成功例子是一个与心脏病有关的基因突变被科学家们移除了。故A项正确。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的Despite the progress scientists have made, we don’t understand human genes enough to give all unborn child great brainpower or amazing singing abilities.可知，尽管科学家们已经取得了进步，但我们对人类基因的了解还不足以让所有未出生的孩子拥有强大的智力或惊人的歌唱能力；再根据最后一段So it looks like if we want good exam results, or to impress people with our piano skills, we’ll have to stick with the old fashioned method of plain hard work — at least for now.可知，所以看来，如果我们想取得好的考试成绩，或者想用我们的钢琴技巧给人们留下深刻的印象，我们就必须坚持用传统的方法，至少现在是这样，由此可知，要完全了解人类基因还有很长的路要走，故B项正确。
【点睛】本篇第4题推理判断题难度较大，抓住科学家在基因研究方面取得的成果以及仍然面临的问题是关键，根据倒数第三段中的Despite the progress scientists have made, we don’t understand human genes enough to give all unborn child great brainpower or amazing singing abilities.可知，尽管科学家们已经取得了进步，但我们对人类基因的了解还不足以让所有未出生的孩子拥有强大的智力或惊人的歌唱能力；再根据最后一段So it looks like if we want good exam results, or to impress people with our piano skills, we’ll have to stick with the old fashioned method of plain hard work — at least for now.可知，所以看来，如果我们想取得好的考试成绩，或者想用我们的钢琴技巧给人们留下深刻的印象，我们就必须坚持用传统的方法，至少现在是这样，由此可知，要完全了解人类基因还有很长的路要走，故B项正确。

Expect More from Your Memory
How many African countries can you remember? Try to say as many as you can before reading on...
There are 54 countries in Africa. If you got them all, well done! Hardly anyone does, of course. But most people could have gotten more than they did. Motivation is a big part of memory. Be honest: if there had been a big prize of this task, wouldn’t you have pushed yourself a bit more? ___16___And, since most people don't expect much from their memory, they limit their chances of success from the word go.
Not everyone, though. When people get competitive about memory, they do amazing things. Back in the 1980s, I broke a world record by memorizing six packs of playing cards.___17___Psychologist Carol Dweck popularized the “growth mindset” -the belief that you can keep improving your abilities, with commitment. Here are four ways to use that approach.
Step 1: Admit what you're good at. Think about the things that you remember with ease. There’s no reason why your memory can't work that well all the time.
Step 2: ___18___ Notice people who seem to have a clever trick for names, or manage to hold their to-do list in their head. See if you can spot some of their secrets.
Step 3: Find ways to get better. Any information can be made more memorable by organizing it effectively, and using your imagination.___19___
Step 4: Practise: Take every opportunity to use your memory. Stretch it a little each day by setting yourself challenges.
Now, go back to the challenge at the beginning.___20___
A. Practice more!
B. Watch how others do it.
C. But self-belief is often an even bigger factor.
D. Now, the record is 37 packs-in just one hour.
E. Experiment with a range of creative memory techniques.
F. People always limit their abilities for lack of confidence.
G. Push yourself to do better, and really believe that you can.
【答案】16. C 17. D 18. B 19. E 20. G
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了提升记忆力的四个方法。建议督促自己做得更好，相信自己可以做到。
【16题详解】

【17题详解】
根据上文Back in the 1980s,I broke a world record by memorizing six packs of playing cards.可知早在20世纪80年代，我就打破了记住六副扑克牌的世界纪录。由此可知，本句承接上文继续说明记住扑克牌目前的世界记录。故D选项“现在的记录是一小时内37包”符合上下文语境，故选D。
【18题详解】
根据后文Notice people who seem to have a clever trick for names, or manage to hold their to-do list in their head. See if you can spot some of their secrets.可知注意那些似乎对名字有聪明技巧的人，或者设法把他们要做的事情记在脑子里的人。看看你能否发现他们的一些秘密。由此可知，此步骤强调的是看看别人是怎么做的。故B选项“看看别人是怎么做的”符合上下文语境，故选B。
【19题详解】
根据上文Find ways to get better. Any information can be made more memorable by organizing it effectively, and using your imagination.可知想办法让自己变得更好。任何信息都可以通过有效地组织和运用你的想象力而变得更加令人难忘。由此可知，本段强调是创造让自己记忆力更好的方法，此处承接上文说明要尝试一系列创造性的记忆技巧。故E选项“尝试一系列创造性的记忆技巧”符合上下文语境，故选E。
【20题详解】
根据上文Now, go back to the challenge at the beginning.可知现在，回到一开始的挑战。由此可知，本句为文章最后一句，应当是在说明了方法之后给予人们鼓励。故G选项“督促自己做得更好，相信自己可以做到”符合上下文语境，故选G。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要论述了在过去一年里，交通事故和由此造成的死亡人数有所增加，我们应该意识到遵守交通规则的重要性，遵守交通规则。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：在过去一年里，交通事故和由此造成死亡人数有所增加。根据空后的over the past year可知，此处应用现在完成时。The number of作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。故填has increased。
【37题详解】
考查主语从句。句意：所以，对我们所有人来说，有必要的是，我们应该意识到遵守交通规则的重要性，因为事故影响车辆的司机，以及骑自行车和行人。分析句子结构，题中缺主语从句的引导词，并且引导词在句中做is的主语，应用连接代词what指代“对我们所有人来说必要的事情”。故填what。
【38题详解】
考查动词。句意：所以，对我们所有人来说，有必要的是，我们应该意识到遵守交通规则的重要性，因为事故影响车辆的司机，以及骑自行车和行人。分析句子可知，这里应用动词affect，意为“影响”。故填affect。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意：所以，对我们所有人来说，有必要的是，我们应该意识到遵守交通规则的重要性，因为事故影响车辆的司机，以及骑自行车和行人。分析句子结构，根据空后的pedestrians可知，空处与其为并列关系，也是指人，且为复数。故填cyclists。
【40题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意：一方面，当司机开车时，他们必须注意周围的交通，如果遇到交通堵塞要有耐心。分析句子结构，在状语从句中，当状语从句的主语与主句主语一致且谓语中含有be动词时，可将从句的主语和be动词一起省去。此题中是在if后省略了they are，因此只剩下过去分词held。其完整形式为if they are held。故填held。
【41题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意：开车时不能打电话，开车前不能喝酒。分析句子结构，在状语从句中，当状语从句的主语与主句主语一致且谓语中含有be动词时，可将从句的主语和be动词一起省去。此题中是在when后省略了they are，因此只剩下了现在分词driving。其完整形式为when they are driving。故填driving。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：他们最好以合适的速度行驶。以......速度应用介词at。at a proper speed意为“以适当的速度。”故填at。
【43题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：另一方面，一些事故与行人有关。be related to为固定短语，意为“与......有关”，且前面的主语为复数。故填are related。
【44题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。句意：他们通常认为交通规则与他们无关，这当然是错误的。分析句子结构，关系词指代前面整句话的内容，在从句中作主语，因此应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这是我们所有人的责任来防止事故，使人们安全。It’s up to sb. to do sth.为固定短语，意为“由某人决定做某事”。故填to prevent。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a dull, cold and cloudy Monday morning. I had planned to take a journey and visit my grandfather who lived in Tennessee. As I set out on my journey and boarded the bus whose final destination was Tennessee, joy was written all over my face.It had been quite a long time since I last visited the countryside. Though the road leading to Tennessee was quietly rocky, the journey was interesting and fantastic. I enjoyed myself so much since I was able to take pictures of wild animals like giraffe and antelopes(羚羊）and along the way.
After about five hours’ drive, we were finally at Tennessee. I carried my luggage and followed the other passengers. However, I realized that there were many people at the bus station who had come to meet their relatives. My grandfather had informed me that there was no need for anyone to come for me as I would easily find my way to his home.
I tried to talk to a few people to ask about the road leading to my grandfather’s home, but unfortunately, we couldn’t understand each other because of the language barrier. I had to make signs, pointing towards the direction where my grandfather lived to see if they could help me. However, the people I asked seemed not to understand me very well, and ended up giving me mixed directions. I felt so desperate because it was already getting late. What’s worse, the countryside had network problems, so I could not reach my grandfather over the phone. I had no option but to look for a suitable place of shelter for the night. I carefully walked through the bushes, along the road and found a tree that had a lot of thick bushes around it. I felt that this was a nice place for me to hide for the night before daybreak.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个字左右;

【答案】One possible version:
Luckily enough, before I could close my eyes. I heard the sound of a vehicle in the distance. I quickly ran out of the bushes, shouting and waving at the car to slow down. What a relief it was to me when the driver politely responded to my call and slowed down at the place where I was standing. The vehicle had two people inside who were very old, a man and a woman almost the same age as my grand father. They introduced themselves and I did the same.
The couple told me that day they were on their way back home from their son’s wedding. I told them my dilemma, giving every inch of the misfortune that I had undergone so that they could help me out. The couple were moved by my story, and they couldn’t hesitate to offer help. The following day, they drove me up to the grandfather’s home which was only a few kilometers away, and I was so happy to reunite with my grandfather. My grandfather thanked my rescuers warmly for helping me out of the bushes.
