Mark Elliot Zuckerberg was born on May the 14th, 1984. He is the creator of the social media site Facebook. He was a star student at school, winning prizes in astronomy, maths and physics. He was also good at Classical studies. He studied Psychology and Computer Science at Harvard University, which is where he created Facebook. His invention led to his becoming Time magazine’s Person Of The Year for 2010.
Zuckerberg excelled in everything he did in his youth. He was captain of the school fencing team, spoke many languages and was a highly skilled computer programmer. While other kids played computer games, he designed them. He created his first network while in high school to connect all of the computers - in his father’s dental surgery. He also built a media player which attracted the interest of Microsoft and AOL.
Zuckerberg started at Harvard in September 2002. In his first year, he created Facemash, a Facebook predecessor (前身), which let students select the college’s best looking people from a selection of photos.
He launched Facebook from his Harvard room in February 2004. It was the start of a rollercoaster ride that would connect half a billion people worldwide and make him the world’s youngest billionaire.
Mark Zuckerberg is now one of the most influential people on the planet. He has dined with the president of the USA and regularly attends global economic summits and technology conferences. He stated: “The thing I really care about is the mission, making the world open.” In 2010, Zuckerberg signed a promise, in which he promised to donate at least half of his life wealth to charity.
4. The underlined word “excelled in” can be replaced by ________.
A. was addicted to B. did well in
C. was absorbed in D. looked forward to
5. The 2nd paragraph is mainly about young Zuckerberg's ________.
A. advantages in sports B. computer programming ability
C. brilliant performance in many fields D. great attraction to Microsoft and AOL.
6. When did Zuckerberg invent Facebook?
A. In 1984 B. In 2010
C. In 2002 D. In 2004
7. What can we infer from the text?
A. Zuckerberg built his social media site after graduating from university.
B. Zuckerberg’s Facebook predecessor helped him become world famous.
C. Zuckerberg’s donation made him Time magazine's Person Of The Year for 2010.
D. Zuckerberg is not only an intelligent computer giant but also a kind billionaire.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. D
【解析】
【分析】
本文为记叙文。马克·艾略特·扎克伯格是社交媒体网站Facebook的创建者，是世界上最年轻的亿万富翁。他在天文学、数学和物理学方面获过奖，在电脑和网络方面做的非常出色。他的发明使他成为《时代》杂志2010年度最佳人物。
【4题详解】
猜测词义题。根据第二段中的“Zuckerberg excelled in everything he did in his youth. He was captain of the school fencing team, spoke many languages and was a highly skilled computer programmer. While other kids played computer games, he designed them. He created his first network while in high school to connect all of the computers …”可知，“扎克伯格年轻时是学校击剑队的队长，会多种语言，是一名熟练的计算机程序员。当其他孩子玩电脑游戏时，他设计了电脑程序。他在高中时创建了第一个连接所有计算机的网络，引起了微软的兴趣”。由此可知，扎克伯格年轻时做的每件事都很出色。由此可推断出“excelled in”可被B. did well in（做的好，非常棒）符合题意，故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段首句“Zuckerberg excelled in everything he did in his youth.”以及全段的内容，可知“扎克伯格年轻时做的每件事都很出色。他是学校击剑队的队长，会多种语言，是一名熟练的计算机程序员。他在高中时创建了第一个连接所有计算机的网络甚至吸引了微软和美国在线的兴趣”，可知，他在许多领域内有精彩的表现。分析选项可知C符合题意，故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的内容可知，“He launched Facebook from his Harvard room in February 2004”。由此可知他在2004推出了Facebook，故选D。
【7题详解】
推断判断题。第一段“Mark Elliot Zuckerberg was bom on May the 14th, 1984. He is the creator of the social media site Facebook”可知，只知他是社交网站的创始人，但没说何时建立的，故A错误的。第三段“he created Facemash, a Facebook predecessor (前身), which let students select the college’s best looking people from a selection of photos.”可知B是错误的，根据第一段最后一句“His invention led to his becoming Time magazine’s Person Of The Year for 2010.”可知，是他的发明而不是他的捐款让他成为《时代》杂志2010年度最佳人物，故C错误。通读全文可知，扎克伯格在电脑和网络方面做的非常出色，是社交媒体网站Facebook的创建者。他还是世界上最年轻的亿万富翁。在2010年，扎克伯格签署了一项承诺，承诺将至少一半的财富捐给慈善机构。由此可推断出“不仅是一个聪明的电脑巨人，也是一个善良的亿万富翁”。故D正确。
【点睛】高考逻辑用推理猜测词义是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式。词义推断可以是一个单词的意义推断，也可以是一个短语或句子的意义推断，既可以是生词意义，也可以是熟词新意；还可以是对替代词所替代内容的判断。在阅读理解题中，所考查的词或短语的意义往往不停留在字面上，要根据短文提供的语境，通过阅读上下文，根据已知的信息或常识来推测尚不熟悉的词或词组的含义。这要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力，充分利用上下文中相关的词汇并结合具体的语境，从形式和内容上把握语言之间的内在联系，理顺语言之间的逻辑关系，进而达到猜词的目的。如第1小题属于猜测词义题。根据第二段中的“Zuckerberg excelled in everything he did in his youth. He was captain of the school fencing team, spoke many languages and was a highly skilled computer programmer. While other kids played computer games, he designed them. He created his first network while in high school to connect all of the computers …”可知，“扎克伯格年轻时是学校击剑队的队长，会多种语言，是一名熟练的计算机程序员。当其他孩子玩电脑游戏时，他设计了它们。他在高中时创建了第一个连接所有计算机的网络，引起了微软的兴趣”。由此可知，扎克伯格年轻时做的每件事都很出色。由此可推断出“excelled in”可被B. did well in（做的好，非常棒）符合题意，故选B。
C
China has become the first country to successfully land a spacecraft on the far side of the moon. The Chang’e-4 probe (探测器) has also made the first lunar landing since 1972. It has the task of exploring the side of the moon that never faces the earth. The dark side of the moon is older and has a thicker surface than the visible side. It takes the moon as long to go around on its own axis (轴) as it does for one complete orbit around the Earth.

The Chinese probe landed in a huge crater 2500 km in diameter and 13 km deep. The crater is one of the oldest parts of the moon and our solar system.
Scientists hope to learn more about the geology of the far side of the moon. The craft has two cameras on board which will send images back to earth. It will also attempt to send signals to distant regions of space, something that cannot happen on earth because of too much radio noise.
Chang'e-4 also has instruments on board to examine minerals as well as a container with seeds which will try to create a miniature (微型的) biosphere (生物圈).
Communication with the spacecraft is not easy. Images and other data must be transmitted to a separate satellite because no direct communication with the earth is possible.
For China the Chang'e-4 mission is an important achievement, because the country has successfully done something no other nation on earth has. It wants to become a leading power in space exploration and has announced plans to send astronauts to the moon and set up its own space station.
8. Where did the Chang'e 4 probe land?
A. On the lunar side facing the earth B. On the invisible side of the moon
C. In a younger crater on the moon. D. In a previous space station.
9. Why is the craft equipped with a container?
A. To see what seeds can come out on the moon.
B. To collect some important matter on the moon.
C. To find whether the seeds can grow on the moon.
D. To check whether some minerals exist on the moon.
10. What can we learn from the text?
A. The dark side of the moon is as cold as the other side.
B. The bright side is younger and thinner than the other side.
C. Other places in space may hardly receive signals from the craft.
D. The two cameras on the craft can send pictures to the earth easily.
11. According to the text, what will China do in the future?
A. China will land manned space craft on the moon.
B. China will built another space station on the moon.
C. China will launch more space probes to the moon.
D. China will become the first country in exploring space.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
本文为说明文。中国已成为第一个在月球远端成功着陆航天器的国家。嫦娥4号探测器也于1972年首次登月，它的任务是探索月球永不面对地球的一面。长安四号任务使中国成功地完成了地球上其他国家所没有的事情。它希望成为太空探索的领军力量，中国宣布计划将宇航员送上月球并建立自己的空间站。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The Chang’e-4 probe (探测器) has also made the first lunar landing since 1972. It has the task of exploring the side of the moon that never faces the earth.”可知，嫦娥4号探测器也于1972年首次登月。它的任务是探索月球永不面对地球的一面。“the side of the moon that never faces the earth”即是“the invisible side of the moon”。月球永不面对地球的一面即是在月球看不见的一面。分析可知， B项符合题意，选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Chang'e-4 also has instruments on board to examine minerals as well as a container with seeds which will try to create a miniature (微型的) biosphere”可知，“嫦娥4号上还装有矿物检测仪器，以及一个装有种子的容器，试图用这些种子来创造一个微型生物圈。”由此可知，用容器的种子来看看是否能在月球上生长。分析选项可知C符合题意，故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The dark side of the moon is older and has a thicker surface than the visible side.” 月球的暗面比能看到的（即亮的）那一面古老、表面要厚些。也就是说亮的那一面比另一面（暗的一面）要年轻些，要薄一些。分析选项可知B项符合题意，故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“ It wants to become a leading power in space exploration and has announced plans to send astronauts to the moon and set up its own space station.”可知“中国已宣布有计划将宇航员送上月球并建立自己的空间站。”由此可推断出中国将会让载人航天飞机登上月球。分析选项可知A正确。

As the weather gets colder, we start wearing jackets, and most of us stop thinking about the sun. But the sun’s rays can be just as harmful when it’s cold and cloudy outside. “Any exposed area of your body can still get sunburned,” Dr. Apple Bodemer, an associate professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, told Live Science.
Whether you spend a day on the slopes, skating on a pond or clearing snow out of your driveway, your face is still getting exposed to the sun’s radiation in the form of ultraviolet (紫外线) (UV) light, which can go deep into your skin cells causing DNA damage, according to Bodemer.
The sun’s long ultraviolet A (UVA) waves can cause earlier aging, sunspots and wrinkles, while its short ultraviolet B (UVB) rays are known for causing skin reddening and burns.
Skin damage caused by UV exposure increases over time. More exposure to radiation contributes to more severe damage, even skin cancer. In addition, snow and ice can also make sun damage worse. They reflect up to 80 percent of UV rays reaching the ground. That means you get hit from both the sky and the ground. And skiers and snowboarders increase their risk of getting sunburned even more because UV exposure increases at higher altitudes.
“Generally, the biggest factor for sun-sensitivity is how pale your skin is,” he said. “But, the reality is that even the darkest individual can get sun damage.”
Luckily, the solution for protecting your skin is simple: Wear sunscreen every day. Rigel recommended using sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30, and going higher at high altitudes. As a rule of thumb, SPF 30 will block 97 percent of UVB rays, SPF 50 blocking 98 percent, and SPF 100 blocking 99 percent. Whatever kind of sunscreen you use, it’s important to apply SPF about once every 2 hours.
Rigel also suggested sunscreens with “broad spectrum (光谱)”—to protect against both UVB and UVA rays—as well as sunscreens that are water resistant for up to 80 minutes. That way, you can go about your day without it wearing off too quickly.
12. Which of the statements best describes UV lights?
A. UVB lights cause much less damage to skin than UVA lights.
B. Skin damage from UV lights can he totally prevented by sunscreen.
C. Snow and ice make people suffer much more from UV light damage.
D. People outdoors needn’t worry about getting sunburned on a cold day.
13. Which is the most vital factor as for sun damage?
A. Your skin color. B. The clothes you wear.
C. The altitude of your place. D. The weather when you are outside.
14. What do we know about sunscreen?
A. The lower sunscreen SPF is, the better effect it will have.
B. People working in high mountains need sunscreen SPF30.
C. Applying sunscreen once when outside is necessary.
D. Water resistant sunscreen can be applied once every 80 minutes.
15. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Being Exposed to Sun Rays B. Ultraviolet A & Ultraviolet B
C. Getting Less Sunburn in Winter D. Different Kinds Of Sunscreens
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
本文为说明文。天气变冷，室外的太阳也可能会让我们暴露在外面的身体部位被晒伤。太阳长紫外线会导致早衰、黑斑和皱纹，短红外线则会导致皮肤变红或灼伤。因此冬天也要预防晒伤。文章还就如何防止皮肤晒伤给出一点建议。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“snow and ice can also make sun damage worse. They reflect up to 80 percent of UV rays reaching the ground. That means you get hit from both the sky and the ground. And skiers and snowboarders increase their risk of getting sunburned even more because UV exposure increases at higher altitudes.”可知“雪和冰也会使人受到太阳的损伤更严重。雪和冰能反射高达80%到达地面的紫外线。…滑冰和滑雪的人更容易被晒伤，因为在高海拔地区紫外线照射会增加”，由此可判断出，雪和冰使人们遭受更多的紫外线伤害。分析选项可知C符合题意，故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Generally, the biggest factor for sun-sensitivity is how pale your skin is”，可知，“对阳光敏感的最大因素是皮肤的苍白程度”。分析选项可知A符合题意，故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Rigel also suggested sunscreens with‘broad spectrum (光谱)’—to protect against both UVB and UVA rays—as well as sunscreens that are water resistant for up to 80 minutes. That way, you can go about your day without it wearing off too quickly”可知，每80分钟可涂抹一次防水防晒霜以此防紫外线B和紫外线A射线以及防水，这样不会因为防晒霜消失地太快而被晒伤，有利于防晒。分析选项可知D符合题意，故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。本文一开头叙述天气变冷，室外的太阳也可能会让我们暴露在外面的身体部位被晒伤。太阳长紫外线会导致早衰、黑斑和皱纹，短红外线则会导致皮肤变红或灼伤。因此冬天也要减少晒伤。分析选项可知C项符合题意，故选C。
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。
Are you trying to find ways to be more efficient at your job? If so, please follow these habits of naturally productive people.
They take breaks. ___16___ Studies show that prolonged tasks that require high levels of focus, energy, and attention can cause you to become less productive and focused over time. Take brief mental breaks. Setting aside a little time here and there to release your focus can significantly help maintain it for longer periods of time.
___17___ Settle down, super men and women. While it's fine to pride yourself on your abilities to multitask, it's in your best interest (and your employer's) if you stick to one to-do at a time. Somewhere along the lines, our culture has embraced and promoted this idea that the more we can do at once, the better. ___18___ In fact, the more we multi-task, the less efficient and productive we become in all the tasks we are trying to accomplish.
They have a full night's sleep. In school, you may have found that too many students stay up late to finish a paper or study for an exam, but, despite your best efforts, research shows this is not the way to do business. ___19___ Actually, studies have linked insufficient sleep to decreased levels of productivity, unsatisfactory work performance, and poorer safety outcomes.
___20___ You know the countless benefits of exercise. It also seriously improves your mood by releasing something to relieve stress and increase your brains productivity. Even 30-minute bursts of moderate-to-high physical activity just three to four times a day can go a long way in helping you accomplish your personal and professional goals.
A. They value fitness.
B. Pressing pause Is Important.
C. They prefer to do more every day.
D. However, research shows the opposite.
E. They don't try to do everything at once.
F Enough sleep makes great contribution to efficient work.
G. Poor sleep or lack of sleep carries some pretty negative rewards.
【答案】16. B 17. E
18. D 19. G
20. A
【解析】
本文为应用说明文。作者认为只有遵循自然规律才能提高工作效率。如工作中要有休息，即使是短暂的休息也可让你养精蓄锐，提高注意力。不要同时做多重任务，任务越多，效率越低。还要有充足的睡眠，锻炼身体也有非常多的好处。
【16题详解】

本文为应用文。每年情人节前后，男人开始担心要买什么礼物，女人则充满了希望和期待。在中国，越来越多的夫妇在同一天结婚，为他们爱的承诺增添了浪漫色彩。但更多年轻、有工作的城市居民推迟甚至选择不积极寻找伴侣。而且中国的离婚率已超过结婚率，晚婚的趋势也越来越大。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：每年情人节前后，男人们开始关注买什么礼物。分析句子可知，主语是复数men，买的礼物也要用复数，故填presents。
【42题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：女人心中充满了希望和期望。be filled with…为固定搭配，意为“充满…”。分析句子可知，本句的主语是复数women，所以系动词be要用复数形式。故填are filled。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：在中国，越来越多的夫妇在情人节这一天结婚，为他们的承诺增添了浪漫色彩。分析句子可知，本空是作结果状语，前面的句子的导致后面的结果，要用非谓语中的动词ing形式，故填adding。
【44题详解】

【45题详解】

It was 9 a. m.. The sun has shone brilliantly. I stood by the lake, waited for my turn to boat. Just then, a little dog lie at my feet quietly. “Am I supposed to touch them?” With little experience of dealing with animals, I hesitated. After while, it seemed to be disappointing and disappeared from my sight. Later I got a chance to row a boat in the lake. Seeing some pigeon flying the white wings in the sky and others feeding themselves on the bank, I merrily rowed the boat, a gentle wind passing me pleasant.
It is not until you experience in person when you can get the real meaning from nature.
【答案】
【解析】
【分析】
本文为记叙文。本文记叙了上午9点时阳光灿烂，我站在湖边及在湖上划船所看到的情景。
【详解】1.考查时态。句意：上午9点。阳光灿烂。分析句子可知，根据It was 9a.m可知，要用一般过去时，而不能用现在完成时。故去掉has。
2.考查非谓语做状语。句意：我站在湖边，等着上船。分析句子可知，本句中的wait修饰前面的动词stood，做stood的伴随状语，故把waited改为waiting。
3.考查动词的时态。句意：就在这时，一只小狗静静地躺在我的脚边。根据文章的时间状语可知，本文讲述的是过去的事，所以要用一般过去时，因此要把lie改为lay 。
4.考查代词。句意：我该摸摸它吗？分析上下文可知，本句是摸那只小狗，所以要用单数，故把them改为it。
5.考查冠词。句意：过了一会儿，它似乎有点失望，从我的视线中消失了。after a while为固定搭配，意为“一会儿”，故在while前添加a。
6.考查语境及形容词。句意：它（狗）似乎有点失望。Disappointing“令人失望的”，一般修饰物；而disappointed“失望的”，一般修饰人或有生命的动物，分析句子可知本句是指小狗有点失望，因此把disappointing改为disappointed 。
7. 考查介词。句意：后来我有机会在湖里划船。船是在湖面上的，要用on。因此把in改为on 。
8.考查名词的复数。句意：看到一些鸽子在天空中展翅飞翔，另一些则在岸边觅食。分析句子可知，本句中的pigeon在句中被some修饰，所以要用复数形式，故把pigeon改为pigeons。
9.考查副词形式。句意：我快乐地划着船，一阵微风轻拂着我，令人愉快。分析句子可知，本句中的pleasant 用于修饰代前面的句子，修饰前面的一个句子要用副词，故把pleasant改为pleasantly 。
10.考查强调句型。句意：只有亲身体验，才能从大自然中获得真正的意义。 when改为that。
【点睛】动词-ing形式作伴随状语。
动词-ing形式作状语表示在进行一动作的同时所进行的另一动作，它对谓语动词起修饰和陪衬的作用。
He lay on the grass, staring at the sky for a long time.他躺在草地上，长时间地望着天空。
Mary sat by the window of the classroom, reading a book. (伴随状语，表示动作的同时进行)
一般情况下，动词-ing所表示的动作和谓语动词所表示的动作同时发生，它没有相应的状语从句可以转换，但可以用并列句转换。
1）女孩走进教室时边唱着歌跳着舞：
The girl came into the classroom, singing and dancing.
=The girl came into the classroom and they sang and danced.
2）他躺在草地上，盯着天空看了很久：
He lay on the grass, staring at the sky for a long time.
= He lay on the grass,and stared at the sky for a long time
如本大题中的第2小题考查非谓语做伴随状语。分析句子可知，本句中的wait修饰前面的动词stood，做stood的伴随状语，故把waited改为waiting。
