My kids lifted the Christmas ornaments(饰品) out of a wooden box in Gee’s living room. They were so happy and excited to see tiny stuffed cats and cartoon characters. Gee stood beside them, quietly explaining each treasure. She told me that she and Tom built their Christmas ornament collection piece by piece each year. She smiled as we left with the box, because her precious heirlooms, gathered over a life time, had found a new home.
We first met Tom and Gee in the early days of our marriage. Someone had been returning our garbage cans to the garage each garbage day, and Jim and I had wondered who. Then one day we spotted him: a man who lived across the street. I baked cookies and left them on a bench outside the garage with a thank-you note. We then found a typed letter from Tom, explaining that he had begun returning cans for people he hardly knew, because neighbors had done this for Gee when he was in hospital. Now he paid it forward by doing the same for all of us.
A few years after we’d moved in, Tom died, much to our sorrow. Gee told us she still talked to Tom every day. When we left her house with the precious box, I realized how hard it must be for Gee to part with that box, a piece of Tom.
These days, we’re planning a move. The house that seemed so huge six years ago is filled with furniture, books, toys and, of course, people. We know it’s time to go, but soon realize gaining a third bedroom seems like a bad trade for all we stand to lose.
This Christmas, we’ll decorate our tree with Gee and Tom’s ornaments. Maybe I’ll talk to Tom just as Gee still does. Thank you, I’ll say for teaching us what it means to be a neighbor.
24. What does the underlined word “heirlooms” in the first paragraph refer to?
A. Wooden box. B. Stuffed cats.
C. Christmas ornament collection. D. Cartoon characters.
25. What did the author do to express her thanks to Tom?
A. She typed a thank-you letter. B. She baked some cookies for him.
C. She cared for Gee when Tom was ill. D. She started to do the same voluntary work.
26. Why are the author’s family planning to leave?
A. Their caring neighbor has died. B. Nobody will help them as Tom did.
C. Gee wants to move to another place. D. Their house has become too crowded.
27. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. The Gift of a Great Neighbor. B. Returning Garbage Cans.
C. An Unforgettable Experience. D. Wonderful Christmas Ornaments.

There are lots of ways to educate yourself on the Internet. You can find photos, documents, and films on almost any topic you can imagine. And at www.ted.com, you can access lectures by artists, scholars, designers, technicians and others.
TED began in 1984 as a conference that brought together individuals from the fields of technology, entertainment and design. It was intended to be a one-time event focusing on technology and design. The event ended up losing money, and it was six years before the founders tried it again. This time it worked, and since 1990, the TED conference has been an annual event. There are now two held every year, with topics as diverse as music, medicine, and money. Other specialized spin-off conferences address narrower issues.
The TED website came from a desire to share the conferences with the world, to “offer free knowledge from the world’s most inspired thinkers,” as the website puts it. The current version of the site was launched in April 2007, and contains videos of talks given at the TED conferences around the world. The talks are transcribed into hundreds of languages.
The TED website is owned by the Sapling Foundation, a non-profit devoted to fostering the spread of great ideas. The Sapling foundation acquired TED in 2001. Since then, it has been focusing on using TED to broadcast ideas that might change the world.
TED, of course, isn’t immune to criticism. It’s been called elitist(精英) for its high ticket prices (more than 6,000 dollars total). It’s been accused by a few people of censorship for not publishing their talks. One controversial speaker was upset about being criticized by the conference’s host afterward.
The complaints, however, seem to be relatively few for such a large, long-running organization. And accusations of elitism ring hollow when so much is given away for free on TED’s website. Whatever its failings, TED is a source of inspirational information for those who seek it out.
28. What is the main topic of the article?
A. The case against TED. B. What’s on TED today.
C. Pros and cons of www.ted.com. D. What is TED.
29. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The TED conference came after the success of www.ted.com.
B. Two TED conferences are now held every year.
C. TED talks are available in many languages.
D. The Sapling Foundation owns www.ted.com.
30. From the last two paragraphs, we can infer that ________.
A. it is accepted to all involved that some TED talks might not be published
B. the host of the conference is one who plays a supportive role to the speakers
C. TED is criticized for giving special treatment to the wealthy or powerful
D. the negative comments on TED greatly affects its reputation
31. This author probably believes that________.
A. TED is elitist B. TED is beneficial
C. TED isn’t important D. TED is the best website
D
Last year in Arizona, 19 firefighters died in an unpredictably fast wildfire. It was the highest firefighter deaths for a single fire since 1933.The same year, Sierra Nevada saw its largest fire ever, which destroyed 402 square miles, and Colorado suffered its most destructive wildfire in state history—nearly 500 homes were destroyed.
Why do there seem to be more fires in more places in recent years?The simple answer is us. First, until the 1980s, we didn't know that fire can be good for ecosystems, so firefighters operated under a policy of fire suppression(抑制). By preventing fires, though, they let underbrush build up in forests, fueling bigger fires later on. Then,the increasing average temperatures are responsible for drier,longer,and more extreme fire seasons. Finally,our cities are spreading into fire-prone(易于着火的) areas.
To avoid greater losses,experts first need to fully understand wildfires. Starting this year,a team of engineers,including the National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST)and the U.S. Forest Service,has been carrying out controlled burns and using the data to build computer models to improve fire predictions. They are also testing new building materials that can withstand wildfire conditions and make for safer homes.
We need a system that warns people against danger even before a fire starts. Scientists at NIST recently developed a hazard scale(危险等级) for marking areas most at risk of wildfires. It would predict the severity and destructiveness of a fire in a particular area. It could also inform building criteria for new construction in fire zones and insurance costs. You pay insurance for deciding to live in the path of quakes and hurricanes,after all,so why not fires?
The method is tried and true. When general warnings won't do the job,why not use the market to discourage people from doing stupid things like building in fire zones? Without a hazard scale in place, we're just moving into areas that are more and more likely to burn.
32. Why does the author mention the data in paragraph 1?
A. To describe a disastrous scene.
B. To stress the serious situation.
C. To prove the scientificity of the method.
D. To show the complexity of ecosystems.
33. What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A. The spreading of cities reduces chances of fires.
B. The policy of fire suppression proves to be effective.
C. Extreme fires are the main result of global warming.
D. Wildfires can be necessary part of ecosystems.
34. Why do the engineers carry out controlled burns?
A. To monitor the forest fires.
B. To predict wildfires more accurately.
C. To develop new building materials.
D. To assess insurance costs.
35. What is "a hazard scale" in the text?
A. A computer testing model.
B. A set of building criteria.
C. A fire warning system.
D. A fire loss assessment.

64. will turn
65. that/which
66. is damaged
67. to make
68. working

【解析】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍用塑料垃圾修路。
61. 考查形容词。句意:塑料对我们的星球来说是个大问题。要想除掉塑料真的很有挑战性,很多塑料最终进入大自然,特别是进入海洋。该空作系动词is的表语,应使用形容词“有挑战的”。故填challenging。
62. 考查介词。句意:在那里(自然界和海洋),它对我们的动物和植物都有威胁。固定搭配a threat to sb./sth.“对……的威胁”。故填to。
63. 考查非谓语动词。句意:现在,一家来自西欧小国荷兰的公司表示,他们将使用在海洋中发现的塑料来修路。此处与“plastic”是逻辑动宾关系,应使用过去分词做后置定语,表示被动。故填found。
64. 考查时态。句意:Volker Wessels会把这些塑料变成道路用的材料。根据上下文多处出现一般将来时可知,此处也是表将来的动作,应使用一般将来时。故填will turn。
65. 考查定语从句。句意:他们会像拼图一样把它们拼凑在一起。根据句意可知,该空引导定语从句并作主语,“puzzle pieces”是先行词,关系词在从句中做主语,应使用关系代词that/which引导。故填that/which。
66. 考查被动语态。句意:如果道路的一部分被破坏,很容易将其拆下并用另一块替换。if引导条件状语从句时,主句使用将来时,从句谓语动词使用一般现在时表将来;“damage”与“a part of the road”是逻辑动宾关系,应使用被动语态。故填is damaged。
67. 考查非谓语动词。句意:该公司表示,几乎任何类型的塑料都可以用来制作路砖。be used to do sth.“被用来做某事”。故填to make。
68. 考查非谓语动词。句意:从事该项目的科学家说,他们正处于测试材料安全性的最后阶段。“work”与“Scientists”是逻辑主谓关系,应使用现在分词作后置定语,表主动。故填working。
69. 考查名词。句意:从事该项目的科学家说,他们正处于测试材料安全性的最后阶段。该空作介词for的宾语,故用名词形式。故填safety。

第四部分 写作(共两节;满分35分)
第一节 短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
【答案】
1. that→when
2. for后加the
3. have→had
4. putting→put
5. second→seconds
6. known→knowing
7. but→and
8. 删除returned后的back
9. something→nothing
10. carefully→careful
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者小学时独自在家煎鸡蛋,不小心把蛋煎糊了,还差点儿酿成火灾的故事。
1. 考查定语从句关系词。分析句子结构可知,先行词“morning”在从句中充当时间状语,故应用关系副词when,故将that改为when。
2. 考查冠词。序数词first前应加定冠词the,故在for后加the。
3. 考查时态。结合语境可知,“我烹饪”的动作发生在过去之前,故应用过去完成时,其结构为had done,故将have改为had。
4. 考查动词。分析句子可知,此处用“and”连接“took”, “put”和 “cracked”三个谓语动词,故put也应用过去时形式,故将putting改为put。
5. 考查名词的数。second“秒”是可数名词,根据短语a few判断,此处应用复数形式,故将second改为seconds。
6. 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处是非谓语动词作状语,“know”和逻辑主语“I”之间是主动关系,故用现在分词,故将known改为knowing。
7. 考查并列连词。句意:不知道该怎么做,我尖叫着,并且冲出了厨房。结合句意可知,此处是顺承关系,故将but改为and。
8. 考查逻辑关系。return(返回)不能和back搭配,否则意义就重复了,故删除returned后的back。
9. 考查不定代词。句意:过了一会儿,我意识到我应该把火灭掉,因此我返回厨房,除了一个烧黑的鸡蛋什么都没发现。结合句意可知,此处应为“除了烧黑的鸡蛋什么也没有发现”,故将something改为nothing。
10. 考查形容词。此处应用形容词作表语,故将carefully改为careful。

My kids lifted the Christmas ornaments(饰品) out of a wooden box in Gee’s living room. They were so happy and excited to see tiny stuffed cats and cartoon characters. Gee stood beside them, quietly explaining each treasure. She told me that she and Tom built their Christmas ornament collection piece by piece each year. She smiled as we left with the box, because her precious heirlooms, gathered over a life time, had found a new home.
We first met Tom and Gee in the early days of our marriage. Someone had been returning our garbage cans to the garage each garbage day, and Jim and I had wondered who. Then one day we spotted him: a man who lived across the street. I baked cookies and left them on a bench outside the garage with a thank-you note. We then found a typed letter from Tom, explaining that he had begun returning cans for people he hardly knew, because neighbors had done this for Gee when he was in hospital. Now he paid it forward by doing the same for all of us.
A few years after we’d moved in, Tom died, much to our sorrow. Gee told us she still talked to Tom every day. When we left her house with the precious box, I realized how hard it must be for Gee to part with that box, a piece of Tom.
These days, we’re planning a move. The house that seemed so huge six years ago is filled with furniture, books, toys and, of course, people. We know it’s time to go, but soon realize gaining a third bedroom seems like a bad trade for all we stand to lose.
This Christmas, we’ll decorate our tree with Gee and Tom’s ornaments. Maybe I’ll talk to Tom just as Gee still does. Thank you, I’ll say for teaching us what it means to be a neighbor.
24. What does the underlined word “heirlooms” in the first paragraph refer to?
A. Wooden box. B. Stuffed cats.
C. Christmas ornament collection. D. Cartoon characters.
25. What did the author do to express her thanks to Tom?
A. She typed a thank-you letter. B. She baked some cookies for him.
C. She cared for Gee when Tom was ill. D. She started to do the same voluntary work.
26. Why are the author’s family planning to leave?
A. Their caring neighbor has died. B. Nobody will help them as Tom did.
C. Gee wants to move to another place. D. Their house has become too crowded.
27. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. The Gift of a Great Neighbor. B. Returning Garbage Cans.
C. An Unforgettable Experience. D. Wonderful Christmas Ornaments.

There are lots of ways to educate yourself on the Internet. You can find photos, documents, and films on almost any topic you can imagine. And at www.ted.com, you can access lectures by artists, scholars, designers, technicians and others.
TED began in 1984 as a conference that brought together individuals from the fields of technology, entertainment and design. It was intended to be a one-time event focusing on technology and design. The event ended up losing money, and it was six years before the founders tried it again. This time it worked, and since 1990, the TED conference has been an annual event. There are now two held every year, with topics as diverse as music, medicine, and money. Other specialized spin-off conferences address narrower issues.
The TED website came from a desire to share the conferences with the world, to “offer free knowledge from the world’s most inspired thinkers,” as the website puts it. The current version of the site was launched in April 2007, and contains videos of talks given at the TED conferences around the world. The talks are transcribed into hundreds of languages.
The TED website is owned by the Sapling Foundation, a non-profit devoted to fostering the spread of great ideas. The Sapling foundation acquired TED in 2001. Since then, it has been focusing on using TED to broadcast ideas that might change the world.
TED, of course, isn’t immune to criticism. It’s been called elitist(精英) for its high ticket prices (more than 6,000 dollars total). It’s been accused by a few people of censorship for not publishing their talks. One controversial speaker was upset about being criticized by the conference’s host afterward.
The complaints, however, seem to be relatively few for such a large, long-running organization. And accusations of elitism ring hollow when so much is given away for free on TED’s website. Whatever its failings, TED is a source of inspirational information for those who seek it out.
28. What is the main topic of the article?
A. The case against TED. B. What’s on TED today.
C. Pros and cons of www.ted.com. D. What is TED.
29. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The TED conference came after the success of www.ted.com.
B. Two TED conferences are now held every year.
C. TED talks are available in many languages.
D. The Sapling Foundation owns www.ted.com.
30. From the last two paragraphs, we can infer that ________.
A. it is accepted to all involved that some TED talks might not be published
B. the host of the conference is one who plays a supportive role to the speakers
C. TED is criticized for giving special treatment to the wealthy or powerful
D. the negative comments on TED greatly affects its reputation
31. This author probably believes that________.
A. TED is elitist B. TED is beneficial
C. TED isn’t important D. TED is the best website
D
Last year in Arizona, 19 firefighters died in an unpredictably fast wildfire. It was the highest firefighter deaths for a single fire since 1933.The same year, Sierra Nevada saw its largest fire ever, which destroyed 402 square miles, and Colorado suffered its most destructive wildfire in state history—nearly 500 homes were destroyed.
Why do there seem to be more fires in more places in recent years?The simple answer is us. First, until the 1980s, we didn't know that fire can be good for ecosystems, so firefighters operated under a policy of fire suppression(抑制). By preventing fires, though, they let underbrush build up in forests, fueling bigger fires later on. Then,the increasing average temperatures are responsible for drier,longer,and more extreme fire seasons. Finally,our cities are spreading into fire-prone(易于着火的) areas.
To avoid greater losses,experts first need to fully understand wildfires. Starting this year,a team of engineers,including the National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST)and the U.S. Forest Service,has been carrying out controlled burns and using the data to build computer models to improve fire predictions. They are also testing new building materials that can withstand wildfire conditions and make for safer homes.
We need a system that warns people against danger even before a fire starts. Scientists at NIST recently developed a hazard scale(危险等级) for marking areas most at risk of wildfires. It would predict the severity and destructiveness of a fire in a particular area. It could also inform building criteria for new construction in fire zones and insurance costs. You pay insurance for deciding to live in the path of quakes and hurricanes,after all,so why not fires?
The method is tried and true. When general warnings won't do the job,why not use the market to discourage people from doing stupid things like building in fire zones? Without a hazard scale in place, we're just moving into areas that are more and more likely to burn.
32. Why does the author mention the data in paragraph 1?
A. To describe a disastrous scene.
B. To stress the serious situation.
C. To prove the scientificity of the method.
D. To show the complexity of ecosystems.
33. What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A. The spreading of cities reduces chances of fires.
B. The policy of fire suppression proves to be effective.
C. Extreme fires are the main result of global warming.
D. Wildfires can be necessary part of ecosystems.
34. Why do the engineers carry out controlled burns?
A. To monitor the forest fires.
B. To predict wildfires more accurately.
C. To develop new building materials.
D. To assess insurance costs.
35. What is "a hazard scale" in the text?
A. A computer testing model.
B. A set of building criteria.
C. A fire warning system.
D. A fire loss assessment.

One morning that I was in primary school, I tried cooking for first time. As my parents weren’t in, I have to cook something to eat. I took an egg from the refrigerator, putting some oil in the pan and cracked an egg into it. After a few second, I tried to turn the egg over in case it would get burnt. Unexpectedly, it caught fire. Not known what to do, I screamed but rushed out of the kitchen. After a while, I realized I should put out the fire, so I returned back, only to find something but a black burnt egg. I’ve learned that I can’t be too carefully while cooking.

【答案】21-23 DCC
【解析】本文是应用文,介绍每年一度的巧克力节组织的几项的活动。
21. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Ca-r-ma Charlotte County Coffee Morning”部分的“Sponsored by Ca-r-ma Charlotte County and adoption programs—caring for homeless and feral cats”可知,该项目是为关爱无家可归的人和流浪猫的,所以对于喜欢宠物的人来说该项目是很好的选择。故选 D 项。
22. 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“$38/Family Day Pass, $16/Adult, $12/Students and Seniors, Free/Children 6 and younger and Family Season Pass Holders.”可知,老人是票价$12, 6岁及以下的孩子免费。 因此一个 5 岁的小孩免费,两位老年人共$24,票价为 0+12*2=24。故选 C 项。
23. 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“invite you to join us this August for the sweetest festival of the year Chocolate Fest 2018!”可知,这篇文章的写作意图是欢迎大家参加2018年8月的巧克力节的活动。故选 C 项。
B
【答案】24-27 CBDA
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者的邻居Tom 帮助作者家及其他人送回垃圾箱是因为Tom的妻子曾受到邻居的帮助。Tom的妻子Gee将自己一生的圣诞节装饰收藏慷慨相送。这些都展现了邻居间的互助和和睦相处。
24. 词义猜测题。根据上文“She told me that she and Tom built their Christmas ornament collection piece by piece each year. She smiled as we left with the box, because her precious heirlooms, gathered over a life time, had found a new home.”可知她告诉我,她和汤姆每年都要一件一件地收集圣诞装饰品。当我们拿着盒子离开时,她笑了,因为她一生中收集的珍贵宝贝找到了新家。可知heirlooms意思为“圣诞装饰品收藏”。故选C。
25. 细节理解题。根据第二段中“I baked cookies and left them on a bench outside the garage with a thank-you note.”(我烤了些饼干,把它们和一张感谢信一起放在车库外的长凳上。)可知她烤了一些饼干给汤姆,以表达她对汤姆的谢意。故选B。
26. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The house that seemed so huge six years ago is filled with furniture, books, toys and, of course, people.”(6年前看起来很大的房子现在摆满了家具、书籍、玩具,当然还有人。)可知作者一家要搬家是因为房子太拥挤了。故选D。
27. 主旨大意题。文章记叙了因为Tom的妻子曾受到邻居的帮助,作者的邻居Tom 帮助作者家及其他人送回垃圾箱。Tom的妻子Gee将自己一生的圣诞节装饰收藏慷慨相送。故A选项最能体现文章主旨,故选A。
C
【答案】28-31 DACB
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了TED以及它的历史发展。
28. 主旨大意题。根据第一段“And at www.ted.com, you can access lectures by artists, scholars, designers, technicians and others.”(在www.ted.com,你可以访问艺术家、学者、设计师、技术人员和其他人的演讲。)以及以下几个段落的内容,可知这篇文章的主题是“TED是什么”,故选D。
29. 细节理解题。根据第三段“The TED website came from a desire to share the conferences with the world, to ‘offer free knowledge from the world’s most inspired thinkers,’ as the website puts it.”(TED网站源于一种与世界分享研讨议的愿望,用网站的话说,就是“免费介绍全世界最优秀的思想家们的想法”。)由此可知,“TED研讨会是在www.ted.com网站成功之后召开的”是表述错误,故选A。
30. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“TED, of course, isn’t immune to criticism. It’s been called elitist(精英) for its high ticket prices.”(当然,TED也免不了受到批评。它因其高昂的票价被称为精英主义)和倒数第一段的“And accusations of elitism ring hollow when so much is given away for free on TED’s website.”(而当这么多东西在TED的网站上免费赠送时,精英主义的指责就显得空洞了。)由此推断出,TED因给予富人或有权势的人特殊待遇而受到批评,故选C。
31. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Whatever its failings, TED is a source of inspirational information for those who seek it out.”(不管它的缺点是什么,TED都是那些寻找它的人鼓舞人心的信息来源。)由此推断出,这位作者可能认为TED是有益的,故选B。
D
【答案】32-35 BDBC
【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了近年来美国森林大火造成了严重损失,大火频发的原因,并且提出了一些可以减少危害的方法。
32. 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“highest firefighter deaths”(最多的消防死亡人数),“its largest fire”(最大的火灾),“its most destructive wildfire”(最具毁灭性的森林火灾)等词汇可推断,作者列举这些数字的目的是为了强调火灾所造成的严重后果。故选B项。
33. 推理判断题。根据文章第二段的“First,until the 1980s,we didn't know that fire can be good for ecosystems,so firefighters operated under a policy of fire suppression. By preventing fires,though,they let underbrush build up in forests,fueling bigger fires later on.”可知直到20世纪80年代人们才知道山火对生态系统有好处,抑制它会造成灌木疯长,造成更大的森林大火,故推断山火是生态系统所需要的。故选D项。
34. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段的“Starting this year,a team of engineers,including the National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST)and the U.S. Forest Service,has been carrying out controlled burns and using the data to build computer models to improve fire predictions.”可知工程师们实施受控燃烧,然后使用这些数据建立电脑模型,其目的是提高对火灾的预测。故选B项。
35. 词义猜测题。根据画线部分前面的“We need a system that warns people against danger even before a fire starts.”可推测a hazard scale是一个警告人们火灾危险的系统。故选C项。
第二节(共5 小题;每小题2分,满分10 分)
【答案】36-40 BEDGF
【解析】本文为说明文。文章主要介绍持续性学习的好处和培养持续性学习的方法。
36. 根据空格下文“For example, we can learn about the general workforce and how the application process works to better prepare us for job searching. This can help if for some reason you lose your job and need to find other work.”例如,我们可以了解一般的劳动力,以及申请过程是什么样的,以便更好地为求职做准备。如果你因为某种原因丢了工作,需要另找工作的话,这可能会有所帮助,由此可判断,学习可以让我们为意外做准备,故选B项。
37. 根据空格前文“it builds your attitude towards change”持续性学习让你建立应对改变的态度,E 项“Being excited about change can affect others around you positively.”对改变感到兴奋会对你周围的人产生积极的影响,这句的“change”和前文相呼应,故选E项。
38. 根据空格后文“They are always looking for new experiences and do different things. Moreover, they not only have knowledge on various topics that aren’t always related to present roles but also know about the latest trends and technologies in the industry.” 他们总是在寻找新的体验,做不同的事情。此外,他们不仅了解与当前职责不相关的各种主题,还了解行业的最新趋势和技术,可推断这句呼应了D项中“Excellent continuous learners behave in a specific manner.” 优秀的持续学习者举止与众不同, 且“They”指代D项中的“Excellent continuous learners”,故选D项。
39. 根据空格前一句“To develop continuous learning, you have to begin with setting a clear and specific goal”为了培养持续性学习,你必须从设定一个明确而具体的目标开始。可知,知道自己想要达到什么目标,可以促进你不断学习,故选G项。

【答案】
61. challenging
62. to
63. found
64. will turn
65. that/which
66. is damaged
67. to make
68. working
69. safety

【解析】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍用塑料垃圾修路。
61. 考查形容词。句意:塑料对我们的星球来说是个大问题。要想除掉塑料真的很有挑战性,很多塑料最终进入大自然,特别是进入海洋。该空作系动词is的表语,应使用形容词“有挑战的”。故填challenging。
62. 考查介词。句意:在那里(自然界和海洋),它对我们的动物和植物都有威胁。固定搭配a threat to sb./sth.“对……的威胁”。故填to。
63. 考查非谓语动词。句意:现在,一家来自西欧小国荷兰的公司表示,他们将使用在海洋中发现的塑料来修路。此处与“plastic”是逻辑动宾关系,应使用过去分词做后置定语,表示被动。故填found。
64. 考查时态。句意:Volker Wessels会把这些塑料变成道路用的材料。根据上下文多处出现一般将来时可知,此处也是表将来的动作,应使用一般将来时。故填will turn。
65. 考查定语从句。句意:他们会像拼图一样把它们拼凑在一起。根据句意可知,该空引导定语从句并作主语,“puzzle pieces”是先行词,关系词在从句中做主语,应使用关系代词that/which引导。故填that/which。
66. 考查被动语态。句意:如果道路的一部分被破坏,很容易将其拆下并用另一块替换。if引导条件状语从句时,主句使用将来时,从句谓语动词使用一般现在时表将来;“damage”与“a part of the road”是逻辑动宾关系,应使用被动语态。故填is damaged。
67. 考查非谓语动词。句意:该公司表示,几乎任何类型的塑料都可以用来制作路砖。be used to do sth.“被用来做某事”。故填to make。
68. 考查非谓语动词。句意:从事该项目的科学家说,他们正处于测试材料安全性的最后阶段。“work”与“Scientists”是逻辑主谓关系,应使用现在分词作后置定语,表主动。故填working。
69. 考查名词。句意:从事该项目的科学家说,他们正处于测试材料安全性的最后阶段。该空作介词for的宾语,故用名词形式。故填safety。
70. 考查冠词。句意:他们说,第一条道路将是荷兰某个地方的自行车道。bicycle path为单数可数名词,此处表泛指,应使用不定冠词,故填a。
第四部分 写作(共两节;满分35分)
第一节 短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
【答案】
1. that→when
2. for后加the
3. have→had
4. putting→put
5. second→seconds
6. known→knowing
7. but→and
8. 删除returned后的back
9. something→nothing
10. carefully→careful
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者小学时独自在家煎鸡蛋,不小心把蛋煎糊了,还差点儿酿成火灾的故事。
1. 考查定语从句关系词。分析句子结构可知,先行词“morning”在从句中充当时间状语,故应用关系副词when,故将that改为when。
2. 考查冠词。序数词first前应加定冠词the,故在for后加the。
3. 考查时态。结合语境可知,“我烹饪”的动作发生在过去之前,故应用过去完成时,其结构为had done,故将have改为had。
4. 考查动词。分析句子可知,此处用“and”连接“took”, “put”和 “cracked”三个谓语动词,故put也应用过去时形式,故将putting改为put。
5. 考查名词的数。second“秒”是可数名词,根据短语a few判断,此处应用复数形式,故将second改为seconds。
6. 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处是非谓语动词作状语,“know”和逻辑主语“I”之间是主动关系,故用现在分词,故将known改为knowing。
7. 考查并列连词。句意:不知道该怎么做,我尖叫着,并且冲出了厨房。结合句意可知,此处是顺承关系,故将but改为and。
8. 考查逻辑关系。return(返回)不能和back搭配,否则意义就重复了,故删除returned后的back。
9. 考查不定代词。句意:过了一会儿,我意识到我应该把火灭掉,因此我返回厨房,除了一个烧黑的鸡蛋什么都没发现。结合句意可知,此处应为“除了烧黑的鸡蛋什么也没有发现”,故将something改为nothing。
10. 考查形容词。此处应用形容词作表语,故将carefully改为careful。
