【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:中国排球运动员朱婷已成为世界公认的体育明星。
考查冠词。a不定冠词,泛指一个;the定冠词,表示特指。world-recognized sports star的中心词为单数可数名词star,所以其前面需加冠词,根据句意,这里泛指一名体育明星,故选B。

A. From B. On C. In
【答案】B
【解析】

【解析】
【详解】句意:随着交通的改善,一些小村庄的学生不再走索道过河上学。
考查非谓语动词。to cross动词不定式形式;crossing动名词形式;crossed动词过去分词形式。根据空前的go on ropeways结合选项动词cross可知,此处是动词不定式表目的状语,走索道过河上学go on ropeways to cross rivers to schools符合句意。故选A。

A. send B. are sent C. were sent
【答案】B

考查一般现在时的被动语态。A. send动词原形;B. are sent一般现在时的被动语态;C. were sent一般过去时的被动语态。根据前半句they are picked by和常识可知,茶叶的加工生产都是人来操作的,故茶叶与动词send之间为被动关系,故应用一般现在时的被动语态,故选B。

A
An Experiment Report on Growing Potato Plants
Things prepared:
a potato that has sprouts
a flower pot with soil
a camera to record progress
Observation:
Day One
The color of the soil looks darker because I have just watered it. In the center of the pot, I can see a tiny sprout that has grown from the potato under the soil. I’ll call it Buddy. Buddy is green and yellow. I wonder how fast it will grow.
Day six
Without much change in the past six days, I finally see some new progress on Buddy as it has grown taller. It’s exciting to see new life like this. I hope Buddy can grow faster.
Day Eleven
Buddy is getting larger! Three more new sprouts have grown around Buddy! Green leaves have grown on the new sprouts, but they have not fully grown yet. I guess I need to be a bit more patient.
Day Thirteen
Buddy continues to grow taller. The leaves on the new sprouts have grown a bit. I’m also excited to see more new sprouts that have grown from under the soil.
Day Fifteen
Finally, the leaves on the other sprouts are 3 cm tall. They’re so green. I hope they will soon grow into new potatoes.
What I have learned
It’s really interesting to grow potatoes. During these fifteen days, I have learned that growing potato plants needs plenty of water. If soil is dry, the potato will fail to grow. I have also learned that the temperature needs to be right. If it is too cold, it won’t grow.
I feel that growing plants is just like trying to succeed with anything in life it takes not only time, but also lots of efforts and patience.

B
In the town of Lampang in northern Thailand, there is an unusual group of musicians. They play many different kinds of music—from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven. Both children and adults love this group. What makes them so popular? Is it their music? Their looks? Yes, it's both of these things, but it's also something else:they're elephants.
These musical elephants are from the Thai Elephant Conservation Center (TECC)in Lampang. The TECC protects elephants. It teaches people to understand and care for these huge, but gentle, animals. And, like many zoos around the world, the TECC encourages elephants to paint.
Richard Lair works with the TECC. He knew that elephants hear better than they see. So he had an idea:if elephants are intelligent and they have good hearing, maybe they can play music. To test his idea, Lair and a friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra. During a performance, the elephants play a variety of instruments, including the drums and the xylophone.

第七大题 任务型阅读
第一节阅读短文,根据其内容完成文后的句子。
How would you feel if moving to a new town meant losing track of your friends? What if the only way of getting news from faraway friends was writing letters that took ages to be delivered(递送)? This was how things worked not very long ago. Thanks to advances in technology, how we make friends and communicate with them has changed greatly.
Nowadays, we can move around the world and still stay in touch with our friends. Social media tools(社交媒体工具) let us see what our friends are busy with and maintain friendships.
The digital (数字)age also enables us to find people who share our interests. Whatever our hobbies, the Internet can connect us with others who also enjoy doing them, even if they live on the other side of the world.
But when you friend people online, does this mean that they really are your friends? It depends.
If people always exchange true personal information online, then yes, these friendships can be real and meaningful. But we need to remember that what we see on social media is often not the whole truth about a person. Sometimes smiling photos can hide real problems. On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog. A young person could be old;a woman could be a man;we could even be sharing our information with criminals.
But this doesn't mean that we should throw the baby out with the bathwater. Although technology has changed the way we acquire(获得)friends, the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same. As Aristotle said, no one would choose to live without friends, even if he had all other goods.
66. Ways of making friends and communicating with them have changed greatly because of ________.
67. To stay in touch with our faraway friends, we can ________.
68. Online friendships can be real and meaningful if people ________ with each other.
69. The phrase “throw the baby out with the bathwater” means “________” in Chinese.
70. This passage mainly talks about ________ of making friends online.
【答案】66. advances in technology/ developments in technology
67. use social media tools
68. exchange true personal information/share true personal information
69. 丢弃不想要的东西的同时失去宝贵的东西
70. advantages and disadvantages
【解析】
本文是一篇议论文,论述了发达的网络技术使得人们交友和保持友谊更简单了;但网络是把双刃剑,网络上的友情有真也有假,所以人们也要谨慎。
【66题详解】
根据“Thanks to advances in technology, how we make friends and communicate with them has changed greatly”,可知是因为技术的发展,故答案为advances in technology/ developments in technology。
【67题详解】
根据“Nowadays, we can move around the world and still stay in touch with our friends. Social media tools(社交媒体工具) let us see what our friends are busy with and maintain friendships”,可知我们可以使用社交工具,故答案为use social media tools。
【68题详解】
根据“If people always exchange true personal information online, then yes, these friendships can be real and meaningful”,可知是如果人们交换真实的个人信息,那就是真的友谊,故答案为exchange true personal information/share true personal information。
【69题详解】
该句字面意思为“把孩子连洗澡水一起丢掉”,再结合作者的观点,可知其深层含义是“丢弃不想要的东西的同时失去宝贵的东西”,故答案为“丢弃不想要的东西的同时失去宝贵的东西”。
【70题详解】
通读全文,可知文章主要论述了在网上交友的好处和坏处,故答案为advantages and disadvantages。
第二节阅读短文,根据其内容完成文后的表格。
Trash collection is problem for Curitiba. First, the city has only one landfill. Second, its garbage trucks do not fit on some of the streets in the city's low- income(低收入)neighborhoods. Curitiba knew the solution lay in getting everyone involved(参加).
In 1989, the city started a recycling program called Garbage That Is Not Garbage. The city set up a central recycling center for sorting(把…分类)recyclable materials, food-based and waste. Colorful cartoon characters were symbols of different kinds of recyclable materials, which could help children get to know the importance of recycling. Collection bins were the same colors as the cartoons, reinforcing(加强) the message. People made money by picking up the trash at these bins and taking it to the center for processing. Today, Curitiba claims to have the highest recycling rate of any city in the world.
Câmbio Verde, the Green Exchange program, and Compra do Lixo, the Buying of Garbage program, are successful recycling programs in Curitiba. They get low-income- residents(居民)to join in the city's recycling program by having them transport trash from neighborhoods that are hard for garbage trucks to reach.
Depending on what they deliver, people exchange their trash for cash, food and services. Their way of life is improved, and the city is better able to manage its trash. These programs are one way Curitiba has gotten creative as a green city. It shows how involving everyone can make green living possible.

【解析】
本文主要分析了造成库里提巴这个城市垃圾收集问题的原因,及政府采取的有效措施。
【71题详解】
根据上文Trash collection is problem for Curitiba First, the city has only one landfill. Second, its garbage trucks do not fit on some of the streets in the city's low- income(低收入)neighborhoods. Curitiba knew the solution lay in getting everyone involved垃圾收集是库里蒂巴的问题,首先,城市只有一个填埋场。第二,它的垃圾卡车不适合在城市的低收入社区的一些街道上。库里蒂巴知道解决办法是让所有人都参与进来。可知第一段主要讲造成库里蒂巴垃圾收集问题的两个原因,故答案为Reasons/The reasons/ Two reasons。
【72题详解】
根据上文Second, its garbage trucks do not fit on some of the streets in the city's low- income(低收入)neighborhoods. 它的垃圾卡车不适合在城市的低收入社区的一些街道上。可知垃圾卡车不能到达这个城市的每个角落,故答案为Garbage trucks。
【73题详解】
根据上文The city set up a central recycling center for sorting recyclable materials, food-based and waste. 该市设立了一个中央回收中心,用于把可回收材料、食品和废物分类。本句主语为单数名词The city,由谓语动词set up,可知此处为“set”的一般过去式,所以其被动应改为一般过去时的被动语态:A central recycling center was set up by the city.根据句意,故答案为was set up。
【74题详解】
根据上文They get low-income- residents(居民)to join in the city's recycling program by having them transport trash from neighborhoods that are hard for garbage trucks to reach.他们让低收入居民加入城市的回收计划,让他们到垃圾车难以到达的社区运送垃圾。故答案为transport trash。
【75题详解】
根据上文It shows how involving everyone can make green living possible.它展示了如何让每个人都能让绿色生活成为可能。可知每个人都为绿色生活成为可能而发挥着作用。动词短语make a difference/ can play a role“发挥着作用”,原句为一般现在时。主语Everyone为单数,故动词用三单形式,故答案为makes a difference/ can play a role。
