A disastrous fire surrounded Notre Dame(巴黎圣母院)completely and destroyed large parts of the Gothic(哥特式的) architecture on Monday.
“Notre Dame is our history, our literature; part of our spirit, the place of all our great events, our wars, our liberations, the center of our lives" French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters in front of the still burning Paris landmark and promised to rebuild Notre Dame Cathedral.
“Notre Dame is burning, and know the sadness and this tremble felt by so many fellow French people. But tonight, I’d like to speak of hope too, "he said, announcing the launch of a fundraising campaign.
“Let’s be proud, because we built this cathedral more than 800 years ago, we’ve built it and, throughout the centuries, let it grow and improve it. So I gravely say tonight: we will rebuild it together, ”he added.
The disastrous fire engulfed(吞没) the upper reaches of Paris’ towering Notre Dame Cathedral as it was undergoing renovations(翻新)。
Tourists and Parisians looked on horrified from the streets below. France’s Interior Ministry said firefighters might not be able to save the structure.
The fire collapsed the cathedrals’ spire(尖顶) and spread to one of its landmark towers "Everything is burning; nothing will remain from the frame, "Notre Dame spokesman Andre Finot told French media. The 12th-century cathedral is home to incalculable works of art and is one of the world’s most famous tourist attractions, immortalized by Victor Hugo’s 1831 novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
The cause of the fire was not known, but French media quoted the Paris fire brigade(消防队) as saying the fire is “potentially linked" to a 6 million—euro($6. 88 million)renovation project on the church’s spire and its 250 tons of lead. Officials opened an investigation as Paris police said there were no reported deaths. Some 400 firefighters were battling the fire well into the night.
4. What Emmanuel Macron said mainly shows that____________
A. Notre Dame was the symbol of Paris in history.
B. The French government are going to rebuild Notre Dame.
C. It took more than 800 years to build Notre Dame
D. He was desperate when he made the announcement.
5. Which of the following is true according to the text?
A. Notre Dame Cathedral was burnt down entirely.
B. The structure was well saved by the firefighters.
C. People who were killed in the fire are some firefighters.
D. The fire was likely caused by a renovation project on the church’s spire.
6. What does the underlined part probably mean?
A. The novel made the cathedral famous.
B. The cathedral is repeatedly mentioned in the novel.
C. The novel became a bestseller thanks to the cathedral.
D. The novel became more mysterious due to the cathedral.
7. What is the tone of the author in writing the article?
A. Disappointed. B. Humorous.
C. Matter-of-fact. D. Critical.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】
这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了法国总统在燃烧的巴黎圣母院前的讲话、巴黎圣母院的重要性、闻名原因以及对失火原因的调查。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。由题干中“What Emmanuel Macron said”可将答案定位在文章2~4段内。文章第二段中法国总统说的话是表示巴黎圣母院在人们心中的重要地位,由本段最后一句话可知,下边两段主要是总统表达了重建巴黎圣母院的信心。再由第三段尾句“announcing the launch of a fundraising campaign(宣布集资开始)”可知,总统就是想让大家知道他们一定要重建巴黎圣母院。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段中的the fire is “potentially linked” to a 6 million-euro ($6. 8 million) renovation project on the church’s spire and its 250 tons of lead.可知,这场大火与塔尖正在翻新的项目有关。故选D。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。immortalized意为“使永恒,使不朽,使名垂千古”。所以这句话的意思是雨果的《巴黎圣母院》这部小说使得巴黎圣母院作为旅游景点,永垂不朽。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。综合全文,可看出作者是在客观描述大火以及领导人及市民的反应。A. Disappointed失望的;B. Humorous幽默的;C. Matter-of-fact.实事求是的; D. Critical批评的,故选C。
C
Until the 1990s coffee was rarely served in China except at luxury hotels aimed at foreigners. When Starbucks opened its first outlet there in 1999, it was far from clear that the country’s avid tea-drinkers would take to such a different-and usually more costly- source of caffeine. Starbucks tried to attract customers unused to coffee’s bitter taste by promoting milk and sugar-heavy concoctions(调和) such as Frappuccinos.
But coffee has become fashionable among the middle class in China. Starbucks now has about 3, 800 outlets in China- more than in any other country outside America. Statista, a business-intelligence portal(门户网站), says the roast coffee market in China is growing by more than 10 % a year. Starbucks and its rivals see big opportunities for expanding there.
So too, however, do home-grown competitors. A major new presence is Luckin Coffee, Beijing- based chain. Since its founding less than two years ago, it has opened more than 2,300 outlets. On May 17th Luckin’s initial public offering on the Nasdaq stockmarket raised more than $570m, giving it a value of about $4bn.
Luckin’s remarkable growth is sign of change. No longer do Chinese consumers see coffee as such a luxury. Most of Luckin’s outlets are merely kiosks where busy white-collar workers pick up their drinks, having ordered them online. Super-fast delivery can also be arranged through the company’s app. Independent coffee shops are springing up. The growth is striking given the country’s reputation for its tea-drinking culture where many residents like to relax in teahouses sipping tea served gracefully.
But the two markets are different. The teahouses tend to cater to older people who like to spend long hours playing mahjong and gossiping. At the coffee shops it is rare to see anyone over 40. Young people use them for socialising, but much of their interaction is online -sharing photos of their drinks and of the coffee-making equipment. An option on the Chinese rating app Dianping allows users to search for wanghong ("internet viral") coffee houses: ones with particularly photogenic decor(照片装饰) where better to sip and We Chat?
8. How did Starbucks try to appeal to Chinese consumers?
A. By reducing the price slightly. B. By introducing the benefits of coffee.
C. By making coffee taste not so bitter. D. By promoting its products effectively.
9. What does Luckin Coffee’s growth suggest?
A. People tend to like coffee’s bitter taste.
B. People’s views on coffee-drinking have changed.
C. People in China can afford coffee now.
D. Tea is no longer part of Chinese culture.
10. What does the underlined word “kiosks” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Places where people can drink beer.
B. Restaurants where food can be taken away.
C. Shops aimed at people who like drinking coffee.
D. Small shops or stores where newspapers and drinks are sold.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Coffee is taking off in China.
B. Tea-drinking is not popular.
C. Coffee or tea, which do you prefer?
D. Coffee has become people’s favorite in China.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了咖啡进入中国市场的历史以及现状。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句 Starbucks tried to attract customers unused to coffee’s bitter taste by promoting milk and sugar-heavy concoctions可知,星巴克通过加牛奶和多糖调和物的方式吸引更多顾客来尝试这种不习惯的咖啡的苦味。也就是说他们试图让咖啡不是那么苦。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第一和第二句可知瑞幸咖啡的快速增长是一个改变的标志,意味着中国消费者不再把咖啡当做是奢侈品。也就是说中国人对咖啡的看法发生了改变,故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段该词后内容可知,在这个地方忙碌的白领员工能拿他们之前网上定好的咖啡。并且由下文中的“Independent coffee shops are springing up.(独立的咖啡店正在兴起)”可知,划线单词意味着不是独立的咖啡店,那可以推测就是像书报亭一样的地方。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。本文从1999年星巴克入住中国,到中国本土的瑞幸咖啡的兴起,从中国人不习惯咖啡的苦味道到态度的转变,主要讲述了咖啡在中国的兴起。故选A。
【点睛】猜测词义题在高考中有三种考查形式:生词猜测词义或熟词生义、猜测一句话的意思、指代关系猜词(代词或者名词)。从近三年考查形势看,三种考查方式同等重要。本文中考查的是生词猜测词义。这种题型的解法主要是在生词后找到其释义句。但除了释义句我们还可以利用篇章结构找到其对应词语帮助我们解题。例如本文主要可以通过现在的kiosks与正在兴起的Independent coffee shops的对比关系,确定kiosks不是独立的咖啡店。再根据其后的定语从句确定它应该是路边小店。故选D。
D
Older women who walk a little over three kilometers each day might live longer than less active women of the same age, a new study suggests.
Many Americans hoping to stay healthy set a daily goal of 10, 000 steps, or about eight kilometers. They often have this goal because they are wearing electronic devices which set that target, note researchers in the United States. Their findings appeared recently in the publication JAMA Internal Medicine.
But it is not clear how much intensity(强度)or speed matter when counting the health benefits of every step, the researchers write. They add that 10,000 steps per day might not be the right goal for everyone.
For the study, researchers observed 17,000 women, all in their early 70s. They asked the women to wear accelerometers for at least four days. Accelerometers are small devices that measure the number of steps and the intensity of movement. The researchers followed up with the women much later, around 4. 3 years later, on average. Since the beginning of the study, 504 women had died. Compared to women who took no more than 2, 718 steps daily, the women who took at least 4,363 steps per day were 41 percent less likely to die.
“Even a modest amount of steps is associated with lower death rates, "said I-Min Lee, the lead writer of a report on the study. "The rate of stepping did not matter in these older women: it was the number of steps that mattered.
The study had a few limitations. For example, the researchers only measured women’s movements once, at the start of the study period. It is possible that the women’s behaviors changed over time. Still, the results are "good news for older adults who may have difficulty walking at faster paces, "said Keith Diaz, a researcher at Columbia University. He was not involved in the study.
“Any walking is better than nothing, " Diaz said by email. "With even small amounts of walking, your risk of death will be sharply reduced "For those who have difficulty walking, other research shows that any form of aerobic activity provides health benefits," he added. "Swimming, bicycling or any form of activity that is continuous in nature will provide health benefits.
12. What conclusion can we come to from the text?
A. People who walk about 10,000 steps can live longer.
B. 10,000 steps per day might be the right goal for people.
C. The more steps one walks per day, the longer life he may live.
D. The number of steps is important for a long life among older women.
13. How is paragraph 4 mainly developed?
A. By giving examples. B. By comparison.
C. By listing statistics. D. By explaining reasons.
14. What can be leaned from what Diaz said?
A. People who walk fast will get more health benefits.
B. If people have a habit of walking, the risk of death will be reduced.
C. People with walking difficulty can not benefit from activities
D. Activities such as swimming and bicycling are not as beneficial as walking.
15. Where is the text most likely from?
A. A medical journal. B. A news report.
C. A magazine about fashion. D. A traveler brochure.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章通过一个研究向大家说明了,对于老人,走了多少步很重要,每天走4363步的人比每天走不多于2718步的人死亡概率降低41%。虽然研究也存在一些缺陷,但是可以说明只要走路就是对身体有益的。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文,尤其第5段的内容“The rate of stepping did not matter in these older women: it was the number of steps that mattered.”可知,每天走的步数对身体健康很重要。并且第二段明确指出10000步这个目标不是适用于每个人的。所以选项AB都不正确。选项C(走的越多越长寿)描述太偏激,也不正确。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段内容看出,该段主要通过列举一系列数字来说明一项研究结果。A. By giving examples 举例;B. By comparison 对比;C. By listing statistics列数据;D. By explaining reasons 解释原因。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后两段,尤其最后一段Keith Diaz所说的话“Any walking is better than nothing”与“With even small amounts of walking, your risk of death will be sharply reduced”能看出,即使每天走的数量不多,也会极大地减少死亡风险,故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。文章是关于健康的一项研究报道,应出现在医学杂志上。A. medical journal医学杂志;B. A news report.新闻报道;C. A magazine about fashion.时尚杂志;D. A traveler brochure.旅行手册。故选A。
【点睛】文章来源的推断题在高中英语中常见。主要有根据文体和题材特点推断文章来源或根据文章内容和结构推断文章来源。例如如果文中出现日期、地点或通讯社名称,我们可以推知文章来自于报纸,如果文中出现网络用词(click 点击;online在线;web网络等)可以推知文章来自于网站,例如本篇文章中的第四题就属于推断文章来源题目,由文章涉及的话题(live longer,health,death)以及文章中科学研究的举例,可以推知这篇文章出自于医学杂志。这类题目同学们多积累这些词汇,特别是还要积累选项中的词汇(避免下次选项不认识),解题准确度会提升很多。
第二节(共5小题每小题2分,满分10分
根据短文内容,从短文后的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。
We don’t meet people by accident. ___16___Some will help you grow, some will hurt you, some will inspire you to do better. At the same time, you are playing some role in their lives as well. Know that paths cross for a reason and treat people with significance.

But that doesn’t mean you have to fix them or enable them;___18___Offer them support and motivation as they find their own way and show you what they’re capable of. All you have to do is believe in them.
Never look down on someone unless you are helping them up. We like to think of life as a meritocracy(精英统治),so it’s easy to look down on someone who isn’t as successful or accomplished or well educated as you are. But you have no idea how far that person has already climbed or where they will end up. Time could easily reverse(颠倒) your positions,___19___
Appreciate those who have supported you, forgive those who have hurt you, help those who need you. ___20___ Treat all people -including yourself-with love and compassion, and you can’t go wrong.

B. therefore, cherish every person you meet.

18. E 19. A
20. F
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇应用文。我们和他人相遇并非偶然,我们生活中遇到的每个人对我们都会有或大或小的影响。本文就如何与别人相处提出了三点建议。
【16题详解】
空格位于段中。空格前句意为:我们遇见的人不是偶然。空格后句意为:一些人帮助你成长,一些人伤害你,一些人激励你做的更好。选项G中的“Every person you meet”与上句中的meet people呼应,选项G中的“have a role in your life”与下句中的各种影响呼应。故选G。
【17题详解】
空格位于段首。空格后句意为:再没有比帮助别人自己看到未来、看到他们到达了他们原来也没想到的高度让人更高兴的事了。选项D中的“show the way”与下句中的helping people see a vision for themselves 呼应,并且还与第三个空格后的Offer them support and motivation呼应,所以选项D可以作为本段主旨句,故选D。
【18题详解】
空格位于段中。这个空格位于分号后,所以句子首字母小写。据此可将答案锁定在A、B、E之间。空格前句子意思为:但这不意味着你必须要更正他们或者武装他们。选项E中的instead(取而代之的是)符合上下逻辑关系,且选项E中的guide them to the source of their own 与下句中的find their own way呼应,故选E。
【19题详解】
空格位于段尾。这个空格位于逗号后,所以句子首字母小写。据此可将答案锁定在A、B、E之间。空格前句意为:时间会很容易颠倒你们的位置。选项A中的so符合上下文逻辑关系。且选项A中的treat everyone with dignity与本段中心句Never look down on someone(不要小看别人)呼应。故选A。
20题详解】
空格位于段中。空格前一句意思为:感恩那些支持过你的人,原谅那些伤害过你的人,帮助那些需要你的人。选项F(创业不易,生活艰难,领导难当)中的complicated, complex,difficult与上句中描述的情景相符合。故选F。
【点睛】七选五题目主要考查学生综合的英语逻辑思维能力。一篇好的短文,不仅在内容上要前后一致,而且还要语篇结构清晰,上下文逻辑意义严谨。内容的前后一致体现在段内及语篇内话题的自然过渡。语篇结构主要体现为:文章是总分结构,还是按时间或空间顺序发展的,还是辩证三段论的编排的。逻辑意义的严谨最主要的可以通过代词、连词和副词等形式来体现。例如本文通过看首段及后续段落首句可知:是总分总的形式。所以第二个空格应该与第三段第四段首句是并列关系,也就是它所在段落的主旨句。第一题和第五题是根据上下文逻辑关系,根据上下句关键词意义复现解题,第三题第四题根据句子间的逻辑关系解题。这道题是相对有些难度的,仅凭借意义解题是不够的,还要掌握上下句关键词意义复现这些技巧才能有所突破。
第三部分英语知识运用(共两节满分45分

第二节(共10小题;每小题1. 5分,满分15分
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词或括号内单词的正确形式
We’ve all turned to sad music to make us feel ___41___ (good)at some point in our lives, but why does doubling down on the sadness help drag us out of the mire(泥沼 )?
A new study sheds light on what’s going on inside our brains ___42___we match our music to our feelings. It looks like sad music can be enjoyable -rather than ___43___(simple) depressing- because it triggers positive memories that can help to lift our mood. Psychologist Adrian North from Curtin University in Australia says there ___44___ (be)two groups of possible___45___ (explain)for why we enjoy listening to sad music like this: one from social psychology, and one from cognitive neuroscience(认知神经学).
In terms of social psychology, one way of ___46___(think) about this is that we feel much better about ___47___ (we) if we focus on someone who’s doing even worse, a process known as downward social comparison. Everything’s going to be okay, because this person ___48___(have) an even worse day than you are.
Another theory from social psychology is that people like to listen ___49___ music that mirrors the tone of their current life circumstances -the songs act as ____50____sort of tuning fork(音叉) for our own situations and they resonate(共鸣) with us
【答案】41. better
42. when/as
43. simply 44. are
45. explanations
46. thinking
47. ourselves
48. is having/has
49. to 50. a
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。我们都曾在生命中的某些时刻通过听悲伤的歌来让自己好受一些,但是为什么更多的悲伤反而会让我们走出低谷呢?社会心理学有的派别认为是通过下行社会比较让我们感觉好一些,有的派别认为是那些悲伤的音乐让我们产生心理共鸣,所以感觉会好一些。
【41题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:我们都曾在生命中的某些时刻通过听悲伤的歌来让自己好受一些。空格处单词位于系动词feel后,应用形容词形式。根据句意“让我们感受更好受一些”,应使用形容词比较级形式。且空格处单词与第三段中的“feel much better”呼应,故填better。
【42题详解】
考查时间状语从句中的连词。句意:一项新的研究阐明了当我们将所听的音乐与心中感受配对的时候我们大脑里到底发生了什么。根据句意,这是一个时间状语从句。由于空格后句子使用的是一般现在时,所以空格处连词可以填when/as。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:其结果显示:悲伤的音乐也能带来愉悦而不是简单地令人低落。空格处单词修饰形容词depressing,应用副词形式。故填simply。
【44题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意:关于我们为什么喜欢听悲伤的音乐有两派可能的解释。这里使用的是there be句型,be动词与其后主语保持一致。句中“two groups of”为复数意义,故be动词填are。
【45题详解】
考查名词的复数形式。句意同上。空格处单词位于形容词后介词前,应用名词形式。“explain(解释)”的名词形式为explanation,且为可数名词。这句话后列出了来自社会心理学与来自认知神经科学的两派解释,所以空格处名词用复数形式。故填explanations。
【46题详解】
考查动名词。句意:从社会心理学这一派来讲,有一种思路是:当我们把注意力集中在一个比我们过得还惨的人身上时,我们会觉得好受些。空格位于介词of后,且think about是动词词组,所以空格处填动名词形式。故填thinking。
【47题详解】
考查反身代词。句意同上。由于表语从句的从句部分主语we与about后的宾语指代的是同一类人,所以介词后宾语使用反身代词。we的反身代词为ourselves,故填ourselves。
【48题详解】
考查时态语态与主谓一致。句意:一切都会好起来的,因为这个人比你过得更惨。这是原因状语从句,前半句使用的是一般现在时,所以从句部分也使用一般时态。根据句意,从句部分使用一般现在时或现在进行时都可以,主语this person是第三人称单数,故填is having/has。
【49题详解】
考查介词。句意:另一个假说是人们喜欢听那些能反映自己现在生活境况基调的音乐,这些歌对于我们的境况来讲起到了类似音叉的作用,它们与我们产生了共鸣。“listen”是不及物动词,后边加名词时需要加介词to,故填to。
【50题详解】
考查冠词。句意同上。空格位于单数名词sort前,空格前为介词,所以空格处需要填冠词。“a sort of”意为“一种”,为固定搭配。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)
51.假定英语课上老师要求同学们交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(˄),并在其下面写出该加的词。
删除:把多余的词用斜线(\)划掉
修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词。
注意:1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词2. 只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分
Linda I am afraid that I won’t be in our dormitory tonight because my mother has come here see me and I plan to sleep in the room where she has booked in a nearby hotel. I wanted to tell you that in person and you are not back yet. So I have to leave this note for you. My mother has brought me several bag of beef jerky. It is a special product making in my hometown.
I’ve left two of them on your desk. Help yourself and I sincere hope you’ll enjoy them. Besides, I have been asked our teacher for a day’s leave. So I will not be presence in tomorrow’s class. Would you help me hand out my history homework to the teacher? It is on her desk beneath the beef jerky.
Thanks.
【答案】1. 第一句中here后加to
2. 第一句中where→which/that或者删除where
3. 第二句中and→but
4. 第四句中bag→bags
5. 第五句中making→made
6. 第七句中sincere→sincerely
7. 第八句中been去掉
8. 第九句中presence→present
9. 第十句中out→in
10. 第十一句中her→your
【解析】
【分析】
这是一个便条。作者给Linda留了一个便条解释自己今晚不回宿舍的原因以及请Linda帮忙明天把她的作业交了。
【详解】1. 考查不定式。句意:我今晚不回宿舍因为我妈妈来看我,我计划住在她在附近订好的酒店的房间里。妈妈来的目的是来看我,所以come here应用不定式做目的状语。且and前后come to see与plan to sleep是并列的平行结构。故在here后加to。
2. 考查定语从句。句意同上。and后的句子是一个定语从句。先行词为the room,指物,且先行词在从句中作book的宾语,所以可以不用连接词或连接词使用which/that。故将where改为which/that或者删除where。
3. 考查并列连词。句意:我想当面告诉你但是你还没有回来。前后两个分句之间是转折关系,故将and改为but。
4. 考查名词的复数形式。句意:我妈妈给我带来了几包牛肉干。several(几个的)修饰可数名词的复数形式,故将bag改为bags。
5. 考查分词作定语。句意:它是我们家乡的特产。“product”与“make”之间是被动关系,故用过去分词made作定语。故将making改为made。
6. 考查副词作状语。句意:你自便并且我真心希望你喜欢它们。hope(希望)是动词,需要用副词修饰。故将sincere改为sincerely。
7. 考查现在完成时的主动语态。句意:我已经向老师请了一天假。“I”与“ask for a leave”之间是主动关系,是我自己提出请假,所以不用使用被动语态。故将been去掉。
8. 考查形容词作表语。句意:因此明天的课上我不在。be动词后应用形容词作表语,be present意为“出席”,故将presence改为present。
9. 考查动词短语。句意:你可以帮我把我的历史作业交给老师吗?“hand out”意为“分发,施舍”,不符合句意。“上交”应翻译为“hand in”,故将out改为in。
10. 考查物主代词。句意:作业在你桌子上的牛肉干下面。由本段中第一句话“I’ve left two of them on your desk.”可知,作者将牛肉干放在了Linda的桌子上,所以作业也在Linda的桌子上。最后一句话中的物主代词与第一句话中的物主代词一致,故将her改为your。
第二节书面表达(满分25分)
52.假定你是李华,你的美国朋友Tom来信询问你的近况。请根据以下提示给他回复一封邮件
1. 上周刚参加了高三开学典礼,并代表高三学生发言;

【答案】Dear Tom,
I am more than delighted to hear from you. Everything has been going well with me so far.

At the ceremony, I gave a speech on behalf of all the Senior Three students, expressing our thanks to all the teachers for their hard work and help.

But I will take the challenge bravely, making full use of my time to improve my study, and meanwhile, trying to keep in a good state physically.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
【解析】
【分析】
这是一封给朋友的回信。学生们需要作为李华,按照题干中的要点介绍最近的高三开学典礼情况以及自己的感受以及对高三的规划。
【详解】第1步:审题。确定时态和人称。根据提示:你作为李华,向Tom介绍近况。介绍上周刚参加的高三开学典礼时时态应以一般过去时为主,介绍规划时以一般将来时为主。人称以第一人称为主。
第2步:确定关键词(组),提炼写作要点。如:more than delighted (特别高兴),going well with me(我一切都很好),the opening ceremony(开学典礼),gave a speech (发表演讲),on behalf of(代表),expressing our thanks to…(对……表达感谢),make every effort to(全力做),making full use of(利用好)等。
第3步:遣词造句:同学们在写作时不能逐句翻译,可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯,同时要点表述要完整,文章要通顺,准确使用时态和语态。
第4步:连句成文:写作时要适当使用连词、过渡词和插入语,使文章浑然一体。同时恰当而合理地使用一些高级词汇和句型,如定语从句等,以提高文章档次。
【点睛】范文内容完整,要点全面,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当,上下文意思连贯,符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了较多句式,如:第二段第一句使用了过去分词作定语,第二句使用了现在分词作状语,第三句使用了宾语从句。第三段第一句使用了定语从句和倒装句,第二句使用了两个现在分词短语作状语等。本文还使用了一些高级词汇,如more than delighted; expressing our thanks to ; make every effort to achieve our dreams; take the challenge bravely; making full use of my time; keep in a good state physically等。全文中没有中国式英语的句式,显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外,文章思路清晰、层次分明,上下句转换自然,为文章增色添彩。

A disastrous fire surrounded Notre Dame(巴黎圣母院)completely and destroyed large parts of the Gothic(哥特式的) architecture on Monday.
“Notre Dame is our history, our literature; part of our spirit, the place of all our great events, our wars, our liberations, the center of our lives" French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters in front of the still burning Paris landmark and promised to rebuild Notre Dame Cathedral.
“Notre Dame is burning, and know the sadness and this tremble felt by so many fellow French people. But tonight, I’d like to speak of hope too, "he said, announcing the launch of a fundraising campaign.
“Let’s be proud, because we built this cathedral more than 800 years ago, we’ve built it and, throughout the centuries, let it grow and improve it. So I gravely say tonight: we will rebuild it together, ”he added.
The disastrous fire engulfed(吞没) the upper reaches of Paris’ towering Notre Dame Cathedral as it was undergoing renovations(翻新)。
Tourists and Parisians looked on horrified from the streets below. France’s Interior Ministry said firefighters might not be able to save the structure.
The fire collapsed the cathedrals’ spire(尖顶) and spread to one of its landmark towers "Everything is burning; nothing will remain from the frame, "Notre Dame spokesman Andre Finot told French media. The 12th-century cathedral is home to incalculable works of art and is one of the world’s most famous tourist attractions, immortalized by Victor Hugo’s 1831 novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
The cause of the fire was not known, but French media quoted the Paris fire brigade(消防队) as saying the fire is “potentially linked" to a 6 million—euro($6. 88 million)renovation project on the church’s spire and its 250 tons of lead. Officials opened an investigation as Paris police said there were no reported deaths. Some 400 firefighters were battling the fire well into the night.
4. What Emmanuel Macron said mainly shows that____________
A. Notre Dame was the symbol of Paris in history.
B. The French government are going to rebuild Notre Dame.
C. It took more than 800 years to build Notre Dame
D. He was desperate when he made the announcement.
5. Which of the following is true according to the text?
A. Notre Dame Cathedral was burnt down entirely.
B. The structure was well saved by the firefighters.
C. People who were killed in the fire are some firefighters.
D. The fire was likely caused by a renovation project on the church’s spire.
6. What does the underlined part probably mean?
A. The novel made the cathedral famous.
B. The cathedral is repeatedly mentioned in the novel.
C. The novel became a bestseller thanks to the cathedral.
D. The novel became more mysterious due to the cathedral.
7. What is the tone of the author in writing the article?
A. Disappointed. B. Humorous.
C. Matter-of-fact. D. Critical.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C
【解析】
这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了法国总统在燃烧的巴黎圣母院前的讲话、巴黎圣母院的重要性、闻名原因以及对失火原因的调查。

推理判断题。由题干中“What Emmanuel Macron said”可将答案定位在文章2~4段内。文章第二段中法国总统说的话是表示巴黎圣母院在人们心中的重要地位,由本段最后一句话可知,下边两段主要是总统表达了重建巴黎圣母院的信心。再由第三段尾句“announcing the launch of a fundraising campaign(宣布集资开始)”可知,总统就是想让大家知道他们一定要重建巴黎圣母院。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段中的the fire is “potentially linked” to a 6 million-euro ($6. 8 million) renovation project on the church’s spire and its 250 tons of lead.可知,这场大火与塔尖正在翻新的项目有关。故选D。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。immortalized意为“使永恒,使不朽,使名垂千古”。所以这句话的意思是雨果的《巴黎圣母院》这部小说使得巴黎圣母院作为旅游景点,永垂不朽。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。综合全文,可看出作者是在客观描述大火以及领导人及市民的反应。A. Disappointed失望的;B. Humorous幽默的;C. Matter-of-fact.实事求是的; D. Critical批评的,故选C。

Until the 1990s coffee was rarely served in China except at luxury hotels aimed at foreigners. When Starbucks opened its first outlet there in 1999, it was far from clear that the country’s avid tea-drinkers would take to such a different-and usually more costly- source of caffeine. Starbucks tried to attract customers unused to coffee’s bitter taste by promoting milk and sugar-heavy concoctions(调和) such as Frappuccinos.
But coffee has become fashionable among the middle class in China. Starbucks now has about 3, 800 outlets in China- more than in any other country outside America. Statista, a business-intelligence portal(门户网站), says the roast coffee market in China is growing by more than 10 % a year. Starbucks and its rivals see big opportunities for expanding there.
So too, however, do home-grown competitors. A major new presence is Luckin Coffee, Beijing- based chain. Since its founding less than two years ago, it has opened more than 2,300 outlets. On May 17th Luckin’s initial public offering on the Nasdaq stockmarket raised more than $570m, giving it a value of about $4bn.
Luckin’s remarkable growth is sign of change. No longer do Chinese consumers see coffee as such a luxury. Most of Luckin’s outlets are merely kiosks where busy white-collar workers pick up their drinks, having ordered them online. Super-fast delivery can also be arranged through the company’s app. Independent coffee shops are springing up. The growth is striking given the country’s reputation for its tea-drinking culture where many residents like to relax in teahouses sipping tea served gracefully.
But the two markets are different. The teahouses tend to cater to older people who like to spend long hours playing mahjong and gossiping. At the coffee shops it is rare to see anyone over 40. Young people use them for socialising, but much of their interaction is online -sharing photos of their drinks and of the coffee-making equipment. An option on the Chinese rating app Dianping allows users to search for wanghong ("internet viral") coffee houses: ones with particularly photogenic decor(照片装饰) where better to sip and We Chat?
8. How did Starbucks try to appeal to Chinese consumers?
A. By reducing the price slightly. B. By introducing the benefits of coffee.
C. By making coffee taste not so bitter. D. By promoting its products effectively.
9. What does Luckin Coffee’s growth suggest?
A. People tend to like coffee’s bitter taste.
B. People’s views on coffee-drinking have changed.
C. People in China can afford coffee now.
D. Tea is no longer part of Chinese culture.
10. What does the underlined word “kiosks” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Places where people can drink beer.
B. Restaurants where food can be taken away.
C. Shops aimed at people who like drinking coffee.
D. Small shops or stores where newspapers and drinks are sold.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Coffee is taking off in China.
B. Tea-drinking is not popular.
C. Coffee or tea, which do you prefer?
D. Coffee has become people’s favorite in China.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了咖啡进入中国市场的历史以及现状。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句 Starbucks tried to attract customers unused to coffee’s bitter taste by promoting milk and sugar-heavy concoctions可知,星巴克通过加牛奶和多糖调和物的方式吸引更多顾客来尝试这种不习惯的咖啡的苦味。也就是说他们试图让咖啡不是那么苦。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第一和第二句可知瑞幸咖啡的快速增长是一个改变的标志,意味着中国消费者不再把咖啡当做是奢侈品。也就是说中国人对咖啡的看法发生了改变,故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段该词后内容可知,在这个地方忙碌的白领员工能拿他们之前网上定好的咖啡。并且由下文中的“Independent coffee shops are springing up.(独立的咖啡店正在兴起)”可知,划线单词意味着不是独立的咖啡店,那可以推测就是像书报亭一样的地方。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。本文从1999年星巴克入住中国,到中国本土的瑞幸咖啡的兴起,从中国人不习惯咖啡的苦味道到态度的转变,主要讲述了咖啡在中国的兴起。故选A。
【点睛】猜测词义题在高考中有三种考查形式:生词猜测词义或熟词生义、猜测一句话的意思、指代关系猜词(代词或者名词)。从近三年考查形势看,三种考查方式同等重要。本文中考查的是生词猜测词义。这种题型的解法主要是在生词后找到其释义句。但除了释义句我们还可以利用篇章结构找到其对应词语帮助我们解题。例如本文主要可以通过现在的kiosks与正在兴起的Independent coffee shops的对比关系,确定kiosks不是独立的咖啡店。再根据其后的定语从句确定它应该是路边小店。故选D。
D
Older women who walk a little over three kilometers each day might live longer than less active women of the same age, a new study suggests.
Many Americans hoping to stay healthy set a daily goal of 10, 000 steps, or about eight kilometers. They often have this goal because they are wearing electronic devices which set that target, note researchers in the United States. Their findings appeared recently in the publication JAMA Internal Medicine.
But it is not clear how much intensity(强度)or speed matter when counting the health benefits of every step, the researchers write. They add that 10,000 steps per day might not be the right goal for everyone.
For the study, researchers observed 17,000 women, all in their early 70s. They asked the women to wear accelerometers for at least four days. Accelerometers are small devices that measure the number of steps and the intensity of movement. The researchers followed up with the women much later, around 4. 3 years later, on average. Since the beginning of the study, 504 women had died. Compared to women who took no more than 2, 718 steps daily, the women who took at least 4,363 steps per day were 41 percent less likely to die.
“Even a modest amount of steps is associated with lower death rates, "said I-Min Lee, the lead writer of a report on the study. "The rate of stepping did not matter in these older women: it was the number of steps that mattered.
The study had a few limitations. For example, the researchers only measured women’s movements once, at the start of the study period. It is possible that the women’s behaviors changed over time. Still, the results are "good news for older adults who may have difficulty walking at faster paces, "said Keith Diaz, a researcher at Columbia University. He was not involved in the study.
“Any walking is better than nothing, " Diaz said by email. "With even small amounts of walking, your risk of death will be sharply reduced "For those who have difficulty walking, other research shows that any form of aerobic activity provides health benefits," he added. "Swimming, bicycling or any form of activity that is continuous in nature will provide health benefits.
12. What conclusion can we come to from the text?
A. People who walk about 10,000 steps can live longer.
B. 10,000 steps per day might be the right goal for people.
C. The more steps one walks per day, the longer life he may live.
D. The number of steps is important for a long life among older women.
13. How is paragraph 4 mainly developed?
A. By giving examples. B. By comparison.
C. By listing statistics. D. By explaining reasons.
14. What can be leaned from what Diaz said?
A. People who walk fast will get more health benefits.
B. If people have a habit of walking, the risk of death will be reduced.
C. People with walking difficulty can not benefit from activities
D. Activities such as swimming and bicycling are not as beneficial as walking.
15. Where is the text most likely from?
A. A medical journal. B. A news report.
C. A magazine about fashion. D. A traveler brochure.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章通过一个研究向大家说明了,对于老人,走了多少步很重要,每天走4363步的人比每天走不多于2718步的人死亡概率降低41%。虽然研究也存在一些缺陷,但是可以说明只要走路就是对身体有益的。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文,尤其第5段的内容“The rate of stepping did not matter in these older women: it was the number of steps that mattered.”可知,每天走的步数对身体健康很重要。并且第二段明确指出10000步这个目标不是适用于每个人的。所以选项AB都不正确。选项C(走的越多越长寿)描述太偏激,也不正确。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段内容看出,该段主要通过列举一系列数字来说明一项研究结果。A. By giving examples 举例;B. By comparison 对比;C. By listing statistics列数据;D. By explaining reasons 解释原因。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后两段,尤其最后一段Keith Diaz所说的话“Any walking is better than nothing”与“With even small amounts of walking, your risk of death will be sharply reduced”能看出,即使每天走的数量不多,也会极大地减少死亡风险,故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。文章是关于健康的一项研究报道,应出现在医学杂志上。A. medical journal医学杂志;B. A news report.新闻报道;C. A magazine about fashion.时尚杂志;D. A traveler brochure.旅行手册。故选A。
【点睛】文章来源的推断题在高中英语中常见。主要有根据文体和题材特点推断文章来源或根据文章内容和结构推断文章来源。例如如果文中出现日期、地点或通讯社名称,我们可以推知文章来自于报纸,如果文中出现网络用词(click 点击;online在线;web网络等)可以推知文章来自于网站,例如本篇文章中的第四题就属于推断文章来源题目,由文章涉及的话题(live longer,health,death)以及文章中科学研究的举例,可以推知这篇文章出自于医学杂志。这类题目同学们多积累这些词汇,特别是还要积累选项中的词汇(避免下次选项不认识),解题准确度会提升很多。

All you have to do is believe in them.
Never look down on someone unless you are helping them up.

这是一篇应用文。我们和他人相遇并非偶然,我们生活中遇到的每个人对我们都会有或大或小的影响。本文就如何与别人相处提出了三点建议。
【16题详解】
空格位于段中。空格前句意为:我们遇见的人不是偶然。空格后句意为:一些人帮助你成长,一些人伤害你,一些人激励你做的更好。选项G中的“Every person you meet”与上句中的meet people呼应,选项G中的“have a role in your life”与下句中的各种影响呼应。故选G。
【17题详解】
空格位于段首。空格后句意为:再没有比帮助别人自己看到未来、看到他们到达了他们原来也没想到的高度让人更高兴的事了。选项D中的“show the way”与下句中的helping people see a vision for themselves 呼应,并且还与第三个空格后的Offer them support and motivation呼应,所以选项D可以作为本段主旨句,故选D。
【18题详解】
空格位于段中。这个空格位于分号后,所以句子首字母小写。据此可将答案锁定在A、B、E之间。空格前句子意思为:但这不意味着你必须要更正他们或者武装他们。选项E中的instead(取而代之的是)符合上下逻辑关系,且选项E中的guide them to the source of their own 与下句中的find their own way呼应,故选E。
【19题详解】
空格位于段尾。这个空格位于逗号后,所以句子首字母小写。据此可将答案锁定在A、B、E之间。空格前句意为:时间会很容易颠倒你们的位置。选项A中的so符合上下文逻辑关系。且选项A中的treat everyone with dignity与本段中心句Never look down on someone(不要小看别人)呼应。故选A。
20题详解】
空格位于段中。空格前一句意思为:感恩那些支持过你的人,原谅那些伤害过你的人,帮助那些需要你的人。选项F(创业不易,生活艰难,领导难当)中的complicated, complex,difficult与上句中描述的情景相符合。故选F。
【点睛】七选五题目主要考查学生综合的英语逻辑思维能力。一篇好的短文,不仅在内容上要前后一致,而且还要语篇结构清晰,上下文逻辑意义严谨。内容的前后一致体现在段内及语篇内话题的自然过渡。语篇结构主要体现为:文章是总分结构,还是按时间或空间顺序发展的,还是辩证三段论的编排的。逻辑意义的严谨最主要的可以通过代词、连词和副词等形式来体现。例如本文通过看首段及后续段落首句可知:是总分总的形式。所以第二个空格应该与第三段第四段首句是并列关系,也就是它所在段落的主旨句。第一题和第五题是根据上下文逻辑关系,根据上下句关键词意义复现解题,第三题第四题根据句子间的逻辑关系解题。这道题是相对有些难度的,仅凭借意义解题是不够的,还要掌握上下句关键词意义复现这些技巧才能有所突破。

第二节(共10小题;每小题1. 5分,满分15分
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词或括号内单词的正确形式
We’ve all turned to sad music to make us feel ___41___ (good)at some point in our lives, but why does doubling down on the sadness help drag us out of the mire(泥沼 )?
A new study sheds light on what’s going on inside our brains ___42___we match our music to our feelings. It looks like sad music can be enjoyable -rather than ___43___(simple) depressing- because it triggers positive memories that can help to lift our mood. Psychologist Adrian North from Curtin University in Australia says there ___44___ (be)two groups of possible___45___ (explain)for why we enjoy listening to sad music like this: one from social psychology, and one from cognitive neuroscience(认知神经学).
In terms of social psychology, one way of ___46___(think) about this is that we feel much better about ___47___ (we) if we focus on someone who’s doing even worse, a process known as downward social comparison. Everything’s going to be okay, because this person ___48___(have) an even worse day than you are.
Another theory from social psychology is that people like to listen ___49___ music that mirrors the tone of their current life circumstances -the songs act as ____50____sort of tuning fork(音叉) for our own situations and they resonate(共鸣) with us
【答案】41. better
42. when/as
43. simply 44. are
45. explanations
46. thinking
47. ourselves
48. is having/has
49. to 50. a
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。我们都曾在生命中的某些时刻通过听悲伤的歌来让自己好受一些,但是为什么更多的悲伤反而会让我们走出低谷呢?社会心理学有的派别认为是通过下行社会比较让我们感觉好一些,有的派别认为是那些悲伤的音乐让我们产生心理共鸣,所以感觉会好一些。
【41题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:我们都曾在生命中的某些时刻通过听悲伤的歌来让自己好受一些。空格处单词位于系动词feel后,应用形容词形式。根据句意“让我们感受更好受一些”,应使用形容词比较级形式。且空格处单词与第三段中的“feel much better”呼应,故填better。
【42题详解】
考查时间状语从句中的连词。句意:一项新的研究阐明了当我们将所听的音乐与心中感受配对的时候我们大脑里到底发生了什么。根据句意,这是一个时间状语从句。由于空格后句子使用的是一般现在时,所以空格处连词可以填when/as。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:其结果显示:悲伤的音乐也能带来愉悦而不是简单地令人低落。空格处单词修饰形容词depressing,应用副词形式。故填simply。
【44题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意:关于我们为什么喜欢听悲伤的音乐有两派可能的解释。这里使用的是there be句型,be动词与其后主语保持一致。句中“two groups of”为复数意义,故be动词填are。
【45题详解】
考查名词的复数形式。句意同上。空格处单词位于形容词后介词前,应用名词形式。“explain(解释)”的名词形式为explanation,且为可数名词。这句话后列出了来自社会心理学与来自认知神经科学的两派解释,所以空格处名词用复数形式。故填explanations。
【46题详解】
考查动名词。句意:从社会心理学这一派来讲,有一种思路是:当我们把注意力集中在一个比我们过得还惨的人身上时,我们会觉得好受些。空格位于介词of后,且think about是动词词组,所以空格处填动名词形式。故填thinking。
【47题详解】
考查反身代词。句意同上。由于表语从句的从句部分主语we与about后的宾语指代的是同一类人,所以介词后宾语使用反身代词。we的反身代词为ourselves,故填ourselves。
【48题详解】
考查时态语态与主谓一致。句意:一切都会好起来的,因为这个人比你过得更惨。这是原因状语从句,前半句使用的是一般现在时,所以从句部分也使用一般时态。根据句意,从句部分使用一般现在时或现在进行时都可以,主语this person是第三人称单数,故填is having/has。
【49题详解】
考查介词。句意:另一个假说是人们喜欢听那些能反映自己现在生活境况基调的音乐,这些歌对于我们的境况来讲起到了类似音叉的作用,它们与我们产生了共鸣。“listen”是不及物动词,后边加名词时需要加介词to,故填to。
【50题详解】
考查冠词。句意同上。空格位于单数名词sort前,空格前为介词,所以空格处需要填冠词。“a sort of”意为“一种”,为固定搭配。故填a。

10. 第十一句中her→your
【解析】
【分析】
这是一个便条。作者给Linda留了一个便条解释自己今晚不回宿舍的原因以及请Linda帮忙明天把她的作业交了。
【详解】1. 考查不定式。句意:我今晚不回宿舍因为我妈妈来看我,我计划住在她在附近订好的酒店的房间里。妈妈来的目的是来看我,所以come here应用不定式做目的状语。且and前后come to see与plan to sleep是并列的平行结构。故在here后加to。
2. 考查定语从句。句意同上。and后的句子是一个定语从句。先行词为the room,指物,且先行词在从句中作book的宾语,所以可以不用连接词或连接词使用which/that。故将where改为which/that或者删除where。
3. 考查并列连词。句意:我想当面告诉你但是你还没有回来。前后两个分句之间是转折关系,故将and改为but。
4. 考查名词的复数形式。句意:我妈妈给我带来了几包牛肉干。several(几个的)修饰可数名词的复数形式,故将bag改为bags。
5. 考查分词作定语。句意:它是我们家乡的特产。“product”与“make”之间是被动关系,故用过去分词made作定语。故将making改为made。
6. 考查副词作状语。句意:你自便并且我真心希望你喜欢它们。hope(希望)是动词,需要用副词修饰。故将sincere改为sincerely。
7. 考查现在完成时的主动语态。句意:我已经向老师请了一天假。“I”与“ask for a leave”之间是主动关系,是我自己提出请假,所以不用使用被动语态。故将been去掉。
8. 考查形容词作表语。句意:因此明天的课上我不在。be动词后应用形容词作表语,be present意为“出席”,故将presence改为present。
9. 考查动词短语。句意:你可以帮我把我的历史作业交给老师吗?“hand out”意为“分发,施舍”,不符合句意。“上交”应翻译为“hand in”,故将out改为in。
10. 考查物主代词。句意:作业在你桌子上的牛肉干下面。由本段中第一句话“I’ve left two of them on your desk.”可知,作者将牛肉干放在了Linda的桌子上,所以作业也在Linda的桌子上。最后一句话中的物主代词与第一句话中的物主代词一致,故将her改为your。

【答案】Dear Tom,
I am more than delighted to hear from you. Everything has been going well with me so far.
Last week, I attended the opening ceremony designed for Senior Three students in our school. At the ceremony, I gave a speech on behalf of all the Senior Three students, expressing our thanks to all the teachers for their hard work and help. I also promised that all my schoolmates and I would make every effort to achieve our dreams.
As you know, in China, the students, who have to take college entrance examinations, will always have a tough time in the last year in senior high school, and so will I. But I will take the challenge bravely, making full use of my time to improve my study, and meanwhile, trying to keep in a good state physically.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

这是一封给朋友的回信。学生们需要作为李华,按照题干中的要点介绍最近的高三开学典礼情况以及自己的感受以及对高三的规划。
【详解】第1步:审题。确定时态和人称。根据提示:你作为李华,向Tom介绍近况。介绍上周刚参加的高三开学典礼时时态应以一般过去时为主,介绍规划时以一般将来时为主。人称以第一人称为主。
第2步:确定关键词(组),提炼写作要点。如:more than delighted (特别高兴),going well with me(我一切都很好),the opening ceremony(开学典礼),gave a speech (发表演讲),on behalf of(代表),expressing our thanks to…(对……表达感谢),make every effort to(全力做),making full use of(利用好)等。
第3步:遣词造句:同学们在写作时不能逐句翻译,可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯,同时要点表述要完整,文章要通顺,准确使用时态和语态。
第4步:连句成文:写作时要适当使用连词、过渡词和插入语,使文章浑然一体。同时恰当而合理地使用一些高级词汇和句型,如定语从句等,以提高文章档次。
【点睛】范文内容完整,要点全面,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当,上下文意思连贯,符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了较多句式,如:第二段第一句使用了过去分词作定语,第二句使用了现在分词作状语,第三句使用了宾语从句。第三段第一句使用了定语从句和倒装句,第二句使用了两个现在分词短语作状语等。本文还使用了一些高级词汇,如more than delighted; expressing our thanks to ; make every effort to achieve our dreams; take the challenge bravely; making full use of my time; keep in a good state physically等。全文中没有中国式英语的句式,显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外,文章思路清晰、层次分明,上下句转换自然,为文章增色添彩。
