When people think about British music, for the most part they think about the 60s or 70s with the likes of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones or more modern artists like Adele or Ed Sheeran. However, stuck between these two ages was, in my opinion, British music’s best period. The 90s were an optimistic time for Britain and indeed Europe, with the economy recovering from the lows of the 80s and the Cold War ending.
One of the defining features of 90s music was the birth of “Britpop”. This was a style of pop music that aimed to promote “Britishness” and commonly featured electric guitars, drums and male singers. Britpop was the style used by world-famous bands such as Oasis, Blur, Pulp and Suede who became known as “The Big Four”. The summer of 1995 was dominated by the “Battle of Britpop” which was between Blur and Oasis for the number one spot. Eventually, Blur won the battle and Oasis settled for second.
However, the 90s weren’t only for the boys, with major female groups also finding fame, the most well-known of which were “the Spice Girls” who were extremely popular in Britain and around the world. Once again they promoted “Britishness” and had catchy melodies and lyrics, but they also started the “Girl Power” movement which helped empower girls and women worldwide. It isn’t too far to assume that without their music, many female singers and artists who we love today would not have had the confidence to pursue their dream.
British music may have had many great times, however the 90s are often overlooked. Although I was not alive to enjoy the music properly, the 90s had a huge impact on British culture that can be felt today and I feel that the decade should get the recognition it deserves!
4. What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A. The Cold War came to an end in the 80s.
B. Britain’s economy began to pick up in the 90s.
C. The Beatles represented the best British music.
D. Adele is better than Ed Sheeran in modern music.
5. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Britpop. B. Britishness.
C. The Big Four. D. Battle of Britpop.
6. What’s the most important influence of “the Spice Girls” according to the text?
A. Promoting “Britishness”. B. Empowering girls and women.
C. Creating catchy melodies. D. Finding fame for female groups.
7. The writer thinks the impact of the 90s music on British culture is ________.
A. underestimated B. well-recognized
C. fairly evaluated D. reasonably doubted
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. A
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了英国90年代的音乐。作者认为英国90年代音乐被忽视了,90年代音乐对英国文化产生了巨大的影响,应该得到它应得的认可。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的The 90s were an optimistic time for Britain and indeed Europe, with the economy recovering from the lows of the 80s and the Cold War ending.(对于英国乃至欧洲来说,随着经济从80年代的低谷复苏和冷战结束,90年代是一个乐观的时期。)可知,英国经济在90年代开始复苏。故选B。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段首句One of the defining features of 90s music was the birth of “Britpop”.和下文内容可知,本段主要介绍了90年代音乐的特征英式摇滚的诞生,并介绍了这种流行音乐的盛行,这种音乐旨在促进“英国化”,通常有电吉他、鼓和男歌手。故选A。

推理判断题。根据第三段的However, the 90s weren’t only for the boys, with major female groups also finding fame, the most well-known of which were “the Spice Girls” who were extremely popular in Britain and around the world. Once again they promoted “Britishness” and had catchy melodies and lyrics, but they also started the “Girl Power” movement which helped empower girls and women worldwide. (然而,90年代不仅仅是男孩的,主要的女性群体也找到了荣誉,其中最著名的是“辣妹组合”,他们在英国和世界各地都非常受欢迎。他们再次推断了“英国化”,有着令人着迷的旋律和歌词,他们也发起了“女孩力量”运动,有助于世界各地的女孩和妇女拥有权力。 )可推断,“辣妹组合”最重要的影响是增强女孩和妇女的力量。故选B。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的British music may have had many great times, however the 90s are often overlooked. 以及下文可知,作者认为英国90年代音乐被忽视了,90年代音乐对英国文化产生了巨大的影响,作者觉得这十年应该得到它应得的认可! 故选A。

America’s first transcontinental railroad, completed 150 years ago today at Promontory Summit in Utah, connected the vast United States and brought America into the modern age. Chinese immigrants contributed greatly to this notable achievement, but the historical accounts that followed often ignored their role.
Between 1863 and 1869, as many as 20,000 Chinese workers helped build the dangerous western part of the railroad, a winding ribbon of track known as the Central Pacific. At first, the Central Pacific Railroad’s directors wanted a whites-only workforce. When not enough white men signed up, the railroad began hiring Chinese men for the backbreaking labor. Company leaders were skeptical of the new recruits’ ability to do the work, but they proved themselves not only capable but even superior to the other workers.
Chinese workers cut through dense forests, filled deep narrow steep-sided valley, constructed long trestles(高架桥) and built enormous retaining walls(防护墙) -- some of which remain complete and undamaged today. All work was done by hand using carts, shovels and picks but no machinery. However, progress came at great cost: an estimated 1,200 Chinese laborers died along the Central Pacific route.
Despite these facts, Chinese workers were often left out of the official story because of their identity of foreigners. On the transcontinental railroad's 100th birthday, the Chinese workers were still not honored. It was another fifty years later that their role was gradually highlighted. To celebrate the railroad’s 150th anniversary in 2019, the California assembly passed a resolution in 2017 to recognize and honor the Chinese railroad workers by designating May 10, 2017, and every May 10 thereafter, as California Chinese Railroad Workers Memorial Day.
8. What might be the best title for the text?
A. The Birth of the Central Pacific Cost Dearly
B. May 10--A Special Day for Chinese Immigrants
C. Chinese Workers’ Contributions Gained Recognition
D. The 150th anniversary of the Central Pacific Railroad
9. What does “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Chinese laborers. B. White workers.
C. Company leaders. D. Railroad directors.
10. Why does the author make such detailed descriptions in Paragraph 3?
A. To prove Chinese workers’ superior skills.
B. To stress the danger and difficulty of the work.
C. To describe the grand scenery along the railroad.
D. To show notable achievements made by Chinese workers.
11. What does the text intend to tell us?
A. None so blind as those who won’t see. B. No pains, no gains.
C. Truth will come to light sooner or later. D. Doing is better than saying.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C

本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了中国移民对美国第一条横贯大陆的铁路作出的巨大贡献,但随后的历史叙述忽视他们的作用。但是纸包不住火,最终中国工人做出的贡献得以被认可。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的Chinese immigrants contributed greatly to this notable achievement, but the historical accounts that followed often ignored their role.以及最后一段的To celebrate the railroad’s 150th anniversary in 2019, the California assembly passed a resolution in 2017 to recognize and honor the Chinese railroad workers by designating May 10, 2017, and every May 10 thereafter, as California Chinese Railroad Workers Memorial Day.最终,中国工人的贡献得以被认可,因此推断,文章主要讲述了中国移民对美国第一条横贯大陆的铁路作出的巨大贡献,但随后的历史叙述忽视他们的作用。但是纸包不住火,最终中国工人做出的贡献得以被认可。因此推断C项“中国工人的贡献得到了认可 ”为最佳标题。故选C。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文When not enough white men signed up, the railroad began hiring Chinese men for the backbreaking labor. Company leaders were skeptical of the new recruits’ ability to do the work可知,当没有足够的白人报名时,铁路开始雇用中国男子从事艰苦的劳动。公司领导对新员工的工作能力表示怀疑,因此推断划线句“但他们证明自己不仅有能力,甚至优于其他工人。”中they指代上文提的中国劳动力。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。通读第三段可知,本段主要阐述中国工人穿过茂密的森林,深谷狭窄陡峭,建造了高架桥,建造了巨大的防护墙——其中一些至今仍然完整和无损。没有机械所有的工作都是用手推车、铲子和镐手工完成的。 进展付出了巨大的代价:估计有1200名中国劳工在铁路建设中死亡。因此推断详细描述修建铁路的工作过程是为了强调工作的危险和困难。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的 To celebrate the railroad’s 150th anniversary in 2019, the California assembly passed a resolution in 2017 to recognize and honor the Chinese railroad workers by designating May 10, 2017, and every May 10 thereafter, as California Chinese Railroad Workers Memorial Day.(为了庆祝2019年铁路150周年,加州议会在2017年通过了一项决议,指定2017年5月10日和此后每5月10日为加州中国铁路工人纪念日,以表彰和纪念中国铁路工人。)可推断,尽管历史中国工人对铁路的贡献一直不被认可,但是最终在2017年他们的奉献得以承认。故C项“纸包不住火”是文章要告诉读者的。故选C。
【点睛】标题确定题属深层理解题,它要求考生在通读全文的基础上,认真分析主人公的特定心态、文章大意及作者的写作意图。在此基础上,还应做到概括性、针对性、醒目性的有机结合。
概括性原则:要求标题应在最大程度上覆盖全文,囊括文章的主要内容,体现文章的主题要旨。从全局的角度归纳概括出文章的标题。要防止本末倒置,主次不分,以点代面,以偏概全。
针对性原则:针对性原则是对标题外延的一种界定。即标题的外延既不能太大也不能太小,要量体裁衣,大小适度。
醒目性原则:标题是文章的点睛之笔,是文章的灵魂和门面。标题的好坏往往影响文章的可读性。读者往往从标题上决定文章的阅读取舍,故标题往往比较醒目,甚至比较离奇,目的是为了吸引读者的注意力,唤起读者对文章阅读的兴趣。
如第1小题,根据第一段的Chinese immigrants contributed greatly to this notable achievement, but the historical accounts that followed often ignored their role.提到中国移民对修筑铁路作出了巨大贡献,但随后的历史叙述往往忽视了他们的作用。以及最后一段的To celebrate the railroad’s 150th anniversary in 2019, the California assembly passed a resolution in 2017 to recognize and honor the Chinese railroad workers by designating May 10, 2017, and every May 10 thereafter, as California Chinese Railroad Workers Memorial Day.提到最终,中国工人的贡献得以被认可,因此可推断,文章主要讲述了中国移民对美国第一条横贯大陆的铁路做出的巨大贡献,但随后的历史叙述忽视他们的作用。但是纸包不住火,最终中国工人做出的贡献得以被认可。因此推断C项“中国工人的贡献得到了认可 ”为最佳标题,故选C。

Recently, researchers at the University of Toronto figured out a way with a quick video selfie to accurately measure blood pressure with your smartphone’s camera by developing a technology known as transdermal optical imaging (TOI)(透皮光学成像).
Cameras on smartphones can catch red light reflected from hemoglobin (血红素)under our skin, which permits TOI to visualize and measure blood flow changes. Researchers measured the blood pressure of 1,328 Canadian and Chinese adults by getting two-minute videos of their faces on an iPhone. “From the video got by the technology, you can see how the blood flows in different parts of the face and through this flow, you can get a lot of information,” said Kang Lee, lead author of the study.
Lee also helped create an app called Anura, which allows people to try out the TOI software for themselves, giving them the ability to record a 30-second video of their face and receive measurements for stress levels and resting heart rate. Lee said more research was needed to make sure that the measurements were as accurate as possible, explaining that the study didn’t test people with very dark or very fair skin.
“In order to improve our app to make it usable, particularly for people with hypertension (高血压),we need to collect a lot of data from them, which is very hard because a lot of them are already taking medicine,” Lee explained. “We cannot tell them not to take medicine, but from time to time, we get participants who don’t take medicine so we can get hypertensive people this way.”
The scientists said there were many potential applications of the technology, including providing health services for those who lived in remote areas.
12. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2?
A. Information offered by TOI. B. New findings on hypertension.
C. How TOI is put into smart phones. D. How the TOI technology works.
13. What might people benefit from the new technology mentioned above?
A Living a life free from stress. B. Improving the heart function gradually.
C. Accessing health services for free. D. Knowing abnormal blood pressure earlier.
14. What can be done for a better Anura?
A. Equipping phones with better cameras.
B. Allowing phones to record longer videos.
C. Collecting data from more diverse samples.
D. Persuading participants not to take medicine.
15. Why does the author write this text?
A. To predict future applications of TOI.
B. To introduce TOI and an app related.
C. To describe functions of cameras on phones.
D. To evaluate the quality of an app called Anura.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新科技。多伦多大学的研究人员想出了一种快速视频自拍的方法,通过开发一种称为透皮光学成像的技术,用智能手机的相机准确地测量血压。文章还介绍了与之相关的手机应用软件。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段首句Cameras on smartphones can catch red light reflected from hemoglobin (血红素)under our skin, which permits TOI to visualize and measure blood flow changes. 可知,智能手机上的相机可以捕捉从我们皮肤下的血红蛋白反射的红光,这允许透皮光学成像可视化和测量血流变化。因此推断本段主要讲述TOI科技如何起作用的。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的From the video got by the technology, you can see how the blood flows in different parts of the face and through this flow, you can get a lot of information(从技术获得的视频中,你可以看到血液是如何在面部的不同部位流动的,通过这种流动,你可以得到很多信息)和第三段的giving them the ability to record a 30-second video of their face and receive measurements for stress levels and resting heart rate.(让他们能够记录30秒的面部视频,并收到压力水平和静息心率的测量。)可推断,这项新技术可以让人们较早知道不正常的血压。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的Lee said more research was needed to make sure that the measurements were as accurate as possible, explaining that the study didn’t test people with very dark or very fair skin.(李说,需要更多的研究来确保测量尽可能准确,解释说这项研究没有测试皮肤非常暗或非常白皙的人。)可知,需要收集更多不同的样本才能改进Anura。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,文章主要介绍了一种新科技 TOI ,研究人员想出了一种快速视频自拍的方法,通过开发一种称为透皮光学成像的技术,用智能手机的相机准确地测量血压。接下来介绍了应用这项科技研发出的手机应用。因此推断本文的写作目的是介绍TOI和相关应用程序。故选B。

Daniela Galarza, from the US, is one of these young people. She told the New York Post that she spent nearly 10 hours on her work every day. She said, “Engaging with my friends and families on social media platforms for about half an hour every day always helps me feel more connected with them. _____19_____”
“Today, ‘togetherness’ is more of a feeling than a physical state, and people get creative to stay connected,” a spokesperson for The Highbush Blueberry Council told the New York Post. “_____20_____”
A. I’m not lonely any more.
B. Do you feel pity for them?
C. Being together all the time is great.
D. Does it mean there are a lot of lonely people?

'Usual boring day!' This would be the answer from Roman if somebody asked him how his day was. These days he found everything boring, nothing excited him.
One day he was lying in his room as usual. Suddenly light went off. His room was rather hot without an air conditioner. Though he did not want to leave his room, he had to. Unwillingly, he left his room and came to living room. Living room was slightly cool as it had two huge windows.
His young brother was playing with his friend. They were rolling on the floor. He was looking out for the TV remote, but couldn't find. He got up and searched it everywhere, but remote was nowhere. He looked at his brother who was still lying on the floor playing.
He asked him, "Where is the remote?"
"Under the Sofa," his brother yelled.
He tried to look through, but it was dark. He put his hand under the sofa. He touched something, grabbed it and took his hand out. OMG! It was a snake in his hand!
After seeing that his brother started to yell, “ Snake, snake!” Mom came as soon as she heard their shouting. She too was horrified to see a snake. She was so scared that she even couldn’t speak a word. Two kids were trying to hide into each other's back. “What an old trick!” Roman thought and threw it over kids.
As the snake landed on the floor near to the kids, it started moving from left side to the right. Only then did Roman realize that the snake was real, not a toy. He threw the snake over kids because he thought it was a fake snake and kids were playing some tricks.
This time mom almost got heart attack. Now he was scared too. The snake was only 10 meters away from kids and was staring at kids. They even couldn’t call a rescue team. There might be some deadly damage before their arrival. There was not much time to think. It was the time for a quick action.
Paragraph 1:
As Roman was farther from the snake, he jumped to the window and grabbed the curtain.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
After the rescue team caught and took the snake away, everyone went inside the home.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version 1:
As Roman was farther from the snake, he jumped to the window and grabbed the curtain. He pulled it so hard that curtain ended up landing in his hand. Then without waiting a second, he threw the curtain over the snake. When the snake came under the curtain, he grabbed two kids by their hands and brought them out of the room. He again went inside and took his mother to the front yard. Mom was shaking like a leaf and kids were sweating hard. Later, he called the rescue team from his cell phone.
After the rescue team caught and took the snake away, everyone went inside the home. Roman went back to his room and tried to sleep, but couldn't, so he went upstairs to living room where he found his brother was watching cartoon. He sat next to his brother and his cell phone beeped. It was another text from his friend asking how his day was. Roman slowly typed: "Jaw-breaking day". Then he kept his mobile aside and dragged his brother's head to his chest and started to play with his hair gently. Then he whispered something in his ear which sounds something like "Sorry".
Possible version 2:
As Roman was farther from the snake, he jumped to the window and grabbed the curtain. He pulled it so hard that curtain was torn off immediately. Without hesitation, he threw the curtain at the moving snake and covered it. Then he grabbed two extremely-frightened kids by their arms and pushed them out of room. The moment the kids went out, they started screaming. Roman went inside the room again and brought his mom out, who was standing still, frozen with fear. Later, he called the rescue team.
After the rescue team caught and took the snake away, everyone went inside the home. Everything returned to normal except that the two kids were still scared. Roman felt guilty and even angry with himself. How could he have thrown the snake to two kids. But for the quick action, it would have hurt them! He went up to the kids, patting them on the head, and said carefully, “I’m so sorry. I mistook it for a fake one. Well….” After a short pause, he said in an excited voice, “Shall we play some game together now?” The kids burst into a smile. “What a thrilling day!” Roman texted his friend later that day.

When people think about British music, for the most part they think about the 60s or 70s with the likes of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones or more modern artists like Adele or Ed Sheeran. However, stuck between these two ages was, in my opinion, British music’s best period. The 90s were an optimistic time for Britain and indeed Europe, with the economy recovering from the lows of the 80s and the Cold War ending.
One of the defining features of 90s music was the birth of “Britpop”. This was a style of pop music that aimed to promote “Britishness” and commonly featured electric guitars, drums and male singers. Britpop was the style used by world-famous bands such as Oasis, Blur, Pulp and Suede who became known as “The Big Four”. The summer of 1995 was dominated by the “Battle of Britpop” which was between Blur and Oasis for the number one spot. Eventually, Blur won the battle and Oasis settled for second.
However, the 90s weren’t only for the boys, with major female groups also finding fame, the most well-known of which were “the Spice Girls” who were extremely popular in Britain and around the world. Once again they promoted “Britishness” and had catchy melodies and lyrics, but they also started the “Girl Power” movement which helped empower girls and women worldwide. It isn’t too far to assume that without their music, many female singers and artists who we love today would not have had the confidence to pursue their dream.
British music may have had many great times, however the 90s are often overlooked. Although I was not alive to enjoy the music properly, the 90s had a huge impact on British culture that can be felt today and I feel that the decade should get the recognition it deserves!
4. What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A. The Cold War came to an end in the 80s.
B. Britain’s economy began to pick up in the 90s.
C. The Beatles represented the best British music.
D. Adele is better than Ed Sheeran in modern music.
5. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. Britpop. B. Britishness.
C. The Big Four. D. Battle of Britpop.
6. What’s the most important influence of “the Spice Girls” according to the text?
A. Promoting “Britishness”. B. Empowering girls and women.
C. Creating catchy melodies. D. Finding fame for female groups.
7. The writer thinks the impact of the 90s music on British culture is ________.
A. underestimated B. well-recognized
C. fairly evaluated D. reasonably doubted
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. A
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了英国90年代的音乐。作者认为英国90年代音乐被忽视了,90年代音乐对英国文化产生了巨大的影响,应该得到它应得的认可。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的The 90s were an optimistic time for Britain and indeed Europe, with the economy recovering from the lows of the 80s and the Cold War ending.(对于英国乃至欧洲来说,随着经济从80年代的低谷复苏和冷战结束,90年代是一个乐观的时期。)可知,英国经济在90年代开始复苏。故选B。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段首句One of the defining features of 90s music was the birth of “Britpop”.和下文内容可知,本段主要介绍了90年代音乐的特征英式摇滚的诞生,并介绍了这种流行音乐的盛行,这种音乐旨在促进“英国化”,通常有电吉他、鼓和男歌手。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的However, the 90s weren’t only for the boys, with major female groups also finding fame, the most well-known of which were “the Spice Girls” who were extremely popular in Britain and around the world. Once again they promoted “Britishness” and had catchy melodies and lyrics, but they also started the “Girl Power” movement which helped empower girls and women worldwide. (然而,90年代不仅仅是男孩的,主要的女性群体也找到了荣誉,其中最著名的是“辣妹组合”,他们在英国和世界各地都非常受欢迎。他们再次推断了“英国化”,有着令人着迷的旋律和歌词,他们也发起了“女孩力量”运动,有助于世界各地的女孩和妇女拥有权力。 )可推断,“辣妹组合”最重要的影响是增强女孩和妇女的力量。故选B。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的British music may have had many great times, however the 90s are often overlooked. 以及下文可知,作者认为英国90年代音乐被忽视了,90年代音乐对英国文化产生了巨大的影响,作者觉得这十年应该得到它应得的认可! 故选A。

America’s first transcontinental railroad, completed 150 years ago today at Promontory Summit in Utah, connected the vast United States and brought America into the modern age. Chinese immigrants contributed greatly to this notable achievement, but the historical accounts that followed often ignored their role.
Between 1863 and 1869, as many as 20,000 Chinese workers helped build the dangerous western part of the railroad, a winding ribbon of track known as the Central Pacific. At first, the Central Pacific Railroad’s directors wanted a whites-only workforce. When not enough white men signed up, the railroad began hiring Chinese men for the backbreaking labor. Company leaders were skeptical of the new recruits’ ability to do the work, but they proved themselves not only capable but even superior to the other workers.
Chinese workers cut through dense forests, filled deep narrow steep-sided valley, constructed long trestles(高架桥) and built enormous retaining walls(防护墙) -- some of which remain complete and undamaged today. All work was done by hand using carts, shovels and picks but no machinery. However, progress came at great cost: an estimated 1,200 Chinese laborers died along the Central Pacific route.
Despite these facts, Chinese workers were often left out of the official story because of their identity of foreigners. On the transcontinental railroad's 100th birthday, the Chinese workers were still not honored. It was another fifty years later that their role was gradually highlighted. To celebrate the railroad’s 150th anniversary in 2019, the California assembly passed a resolution in 2017 to recognize and honor the Chinese railroad workers by designating May 10, 2017, and every May 10 thereafter, as California Chinese Railroad Workers Memorial Day.
8. What might be the best title for the text?
A. The Birth of the Central Pacific Cost Dearly
B. May 10--A Special Day for Chinese Immigrants
C. Chinese Workers’ Contributions Gained Recognition
D. The 150th anniversary of the Central Pacific Railroad
9. What does “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Chinese laborers. B. White workers.
C. Company leaders. D. Railroad directors.
10. Why does the author make such detailed descriptions in Paragraph 3?
A. To prove Chinese workers’ superior skills.
B. To stress the danger and difficulty of the work.
C. To describe the grand scenery along the railroad.
D. To show notable achievements made by Chinese workers.
11. What does the text intend to tell us?
A. None so blind as those who won’t see. B. No pains, no gains.
C. Truth will come to light sooner or later. D. Doing is better than saying.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C

本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了中国移民对美国第一条横贯大陆的铁路作出的巨大贡献,但随后的历史叙述忽视他们的作用。但是纸包不住火,最终中国工人做出的贡献得以被认可。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的Chinese immigrants contributed greatly to this notable achievement, but the historical accounts that followed often ignored their role.以及最后一段的To celebrate the railroad’s 150th anniversary in 2019, the California assembly passed a resolution in 2017 to recognize and honor the Chinese railroad workers by designating May 10, 2017, and every May 10 thereafter, as California Chinese Railroad Workers Memorial Day.最终,中国工人的贡献得以被认可,因此推断,文章主要讲述了中国移民对美国第一条横贯大陆的铁路作出的巨大贡献,但随后的历史叙述忽视他们的作用。但是纸包不住火,最终中国工人做出的贡献得以被认可。因此推断C项“中国工人的贡献得到了认可 ”为最佳标题。故选C。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文When not enough white men signed up, the railroad began hiring Chinese men for the backbreaking labor. Company leaders were skeptical of the new recruits’ ability to do the work可知,当没有足够的白人报名时,铁路开始雇用中国男子从事艰苦的劳动。公司领导对新员工的工作能力表示怀疑,因此推断划线句“但他们证明自己不仅有能力,甚至优于其他工人。”中they指代上文提的中国劳动力。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。通读第三段可知,本段主要阐述中国工人穿过茂密的森林,深谷狭窄陡峭,建造了高架桥,建造了巨大的防护墙——其中一些至今仍然完整和无损。没有机械所有的工作都是用手推车、铲子和镐手工完成的。 进展付出了巨大的代价:估计有1200名中国劳工在铁路建设中死亡。因此推断详细描述修建铁路的工作过程是为了强调工作的危险和困难。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的 To celebrate the railroad’s 150th anniversary in 2019, the California assembly passed a resolution in 2017 to recognize and honor the Chinese railroad workers by designating May 10, 2017, and every May 10 thereafter, as California Chinese Railroad Workers Memorial Day.(为了庆祝2019年铁路150周年,加州议会在2017年通过了一项决议,指定2017年5月10日和此后每5月10日为加州中国铁路工人纪念日,以表彰和纪念中国铁路工人。)可推断,尽管历史中国工人对铁路的贡献一直不被认可,但是最终在2017年他们的奉献得以承认。故C项“纸包不住火”是文章要告诉读者的。故选C。
【点睛】标题确定题属深层理解题,它要求考生在通读全文的基础上,认真分析主人公的特定心态、文章大意及作者的写作意图。在此基础上,还应做到概括性、针对性、醒目性的有机结合。
概括性原则:要求标题应在最大程度上覆盖全文,囊括文章的主要内容,体现文章的主题要旨。从全局的角度归纳概括出文章的标题。要防止本末倒置,主次不分,以点代面,以偏概全。
针对性原则:针对性原则是对标题外延的一种界定。即标题的外延既不能太大也不能太小,要量体裁衣,大小适度。
醒目性原则:标题是文章的点睛之笔,是文章的灵魂和门面。标题的好坏往往影响文章的可读性。读者往往从标题上决定文章的阅读取舍,故标题往往比较醒目,甚至比较离奇,目的是为了吸引读者的注意力,唤起读者对文章阅读的兴趣。
如第1小题,根据第一段的Chinese immigrants contributed greatly to this notable achievement, but the historical accounts that followed often ignored their role.提到中国移民对修筑铁路作出了巨大贡献,但随后的历史叙述往往忽视了他们的作用。以及最后一段的To celebrate the railroad’s 150th anniversary in 2019, the California assembly passed a resolution in 2017 to recognize and honor the Chinese railroad workers by designating May 10, 2017, and every May 10 thereafter, as California Chinese Railroad Workers Memorial Day.提到最终,中国工人的贡献得以被认可,因此可推断,文章主要讲述了中国移民对美国第一条横贯大陆的铁路做出的巨大贡献,但随后的历史叙述忽视他们的作用。但是纸包不住火,最终中国工人做出的贡献得以被认可。因此推断C项“中国工人的贡献得到了认可 ”为最佳标题,故选C。

Recently, researchers at the University of Toronto figured out a way with a quick video selfie to accurately measure blood pressure with your smartphone’s camera by developing a technology known as transdermal optical imaging (TOI)(透皮光学成像).
Cameras on smartphones can catch red light reflected from hemoglobin (血红素)under our skin, which permits TOI to visualize and measure blood flow changes. Researchers measured the blood pressure of 1,328 Canadian and Chinese adults by getting two-minute videos of their faces on an iPhone. “From the video got by the technology, you can see how the blood flows in different parts of the face and through this flow, you can get a lot of information,” said Kang Lee, lead author of the study.
Lee also helped create an app called Anura, which allows people to try out the TOI software for themselves, giving them the ability to record a 30-second video of their face and receive measurements for stress levels and resting heart rate. Lee said more research was needed to make sure that the measurements were as accurate as possible, explaining that the study didn’t test people with very dark or very fair skin.
“In order to improve our app to make it usable, particularly for people with hypertension (高血压),we need to collect a lot of data from them, which is very hard because a lot of them are already taking medicine,” Lee explained. “We cannot tell them not to take medicine, but from time to time, we get participants who don’t take medicine so we can get hypertensive people this way.”
The scientists said there were many potential applications of the technology, including providing health services for those who lived in remote areas.
12. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2?
A. Information offered by TOI. B. New findings on hypertension.
C. How TOI is put into smart phones. D. How the TOI technology works.
13. What might people benefit from the new technology mentioned above?
A Living a life free from stress. B. Improving the heart function gradually.
C. Accessing health services for free. D. Knowing abnormal blood pressure earlier.
14. What can be done for a better Anura?
A. Equipping phones with better cameras.
B. Allowing phones to record longer videos.
C. Collecting data from more diverse samples.
D. Persuading participants not to take medicine.
15. Why does the author write this text?
A. To predict future applications of TOI.
B. To introduce TOI and an app related.
C. To describe functions of cameras on phones.
D. To evaluate the quality of an app called Anura.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新科技。多伦多大学的研究人员想出了一种快速视频自拍的方法,通过开发一种称为透皮光学成像的技术,用智能手机的相机准确地测量血压。文章还介绍了与之相关的手机应用软件。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段首句Cameras on smartphones can catch red light reflected from hemoglobin (血红素)under our skin, which permits TOI to visualize and measure blood flow changes. 可知,智能手机上的相机可以捕捉从我们皮肤下的血红蛋白反射的红光,这允许透皮光学成像可视化和测量血流变化。因此推断本段主要讲述TOI科技如何起作用的。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的From the video got by the technology, you can see how the blood flows in different parts of the face and through this flow, you can get a lot of information(从技术获得的视频中,你可以看到血液是如何在面部的不同部位流动的,通过这种流动,你可以得到很多信息)和第三段的giving them the ability to record a 30-second video of their face and receive measurements for stress levels and resting heart rate.(让他们能够记录30秒的面部视频,并收到压力水平和静息心率的测量。)可推断,这项新技术可以让人们较早知道不正常的血压。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的Lee said more research was needed to make sure that the measurements were as accurate as possible, explaining that the study didn’t test people with very dark or very fair skin.(李说,需要更多的研究来确保测量尽可能准确,解释说这项研究没有测试皮肤非常暗或非常白皙的人。)可知,需要收集更多不同的样本才能改进Anura。故选C。
【15题详解】

No-friend eating trend
When you eat lunch in a restaurant you might see many people eating by themselves, watching videos on their phones. _____16_____ Do you worry they’re lonely?
You probably didn’t even notice because you were looking at your own phone. The New York Post says that eating alone with electronic devices is a growing trend among young people around the world.
According to a new survey conducted by OnePoll on behalf of the US-based Highbush Blueberry Council, the average adult eats six meals alone each week and 387 meals each year.
___17___ Maybe not.
“The way we define ‘togetherness’ and what it means to be connected seems to be evolving as technology evolves. Keeping our relationships strong doesn’t always require being together physically,” wrote the report.
Nowadays, many young people spend more time studying and working in competitive environments. _____18_____ Instead, it’s natural to communicate with others through text, email and social media.
Daniela Galarza, from the US, is one of these young people. She told the New York Post that she spent nearly 10 hours on her work every day. She said, “Engaging with my friends and families on social media platforms for about half an hour every day always helps me feel more connected with them. _____19_____”
“Today, ‘togetherness’ is more of a feeling than a physical state, and people get creative to stay connected,” a spokesperson for The Highbush Blueberry Council told the New York Post. “_____20_____”
A. I’m not lonely any more.
B. Do you feel pity for them?
C. Being together all the time is great.
D. Does it mean there are a lot of lonely people?
E. They enjoy eating alone with electronic devices.
F. They have less time to gather and eat with their friends or families.

'Usual boring day!' This would be the answer from Roman if somebody asked him how his day was. These days he found everything boring, nothing excited him.
One day he was lying in his room as usual. Suddenly light went off. His room was rather hot without an air conditioner. Though he did not want to leave his room, he had to. Unwillingly, he left his room and came to living room. Living room was slightly cool as it had two huge windows.
His young brother was playing with his friend. They were rolling on the floor. He was looking out for the TV remote, but couldn't find. He got up and searched it everywhere, but remote was nowhere. He looked at his brother who was still lying on the floor playing.
He asked him, "Where is the remote?"
"Under the Sofa," his brother yelled.
He tried to look through, but it was dark. He put his hand under the sofa. He touched something, grabbed it and took his hand out. OMG! It was a snake in his hand!
After seeing that his brother started to yell, “ Snake, snake!” Mom came as soon as she heard their shouting. She too was horrified to see a snake. She was so scared that she even couldn’t speak a word. Two kids were trying to hide into each other's back. “What an old trick!” Roman thought and threw it over kids.
As the snake landed on the floor near to the kids, it started moving from left side to the right. Only then did Roman realize that the snake was real, not a toy. He threw the snake over kids because he thought it was a fake snake and kids were playing some tricks.
This time mom almost got heart attack. Now he was scared too. The snake was only 10 meters away from kids and was staring at kids. They even couldn’t call a rescue team. There might be some deadly damage before their arrival. There was not much time to think. It was the time for a quick action.
Paragraph 1:
As Roman was farther from the snake, he jumped to the window and grabbed the curtain.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
After the rescue team caught and took the snake away, everyone went inside the home.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version 1:
As Roman was farther from the snake, he jumped to the window and grabbed the curtain. He pulled it so hard that curtain ended up landing in his hand. Then without waiting a second, he threw the curtain over the snake. When the snake came under the curtain, he grabbed two kids by their hands and brought them out of the room. He again went inside and took his mother to the front yard. Mom was shaking like a leaf and kids were sweating hard. Later, he called the rescue team from his cell phone.
After the rescue team caught and took the snake away, everyone went inside the home. Roman went back to his room and tried to sleep, but couldn't, so he went upstairs to living room where he found his brother was watching cartoon. He sat next to his brother and his cell phone beeped. It was another text from his friend asking how his day was. Roman slowly typed: "Jaw-breaking day". Then he kept his mobile aside and dragged his brother's head to his chest and started to play with his hair gently. Then he whispered something in his ear which sounds something like "Sorry".
Possible version 2:
As Roman was farther from the snake, he jumped to the window and grabbed the curtain. He pulled it so hard that curtain was torn off immediately. Without hesitation, he threw the curtain at the moving snake and covered it. Then he grabbed two extremely-frightened kids by their arms and pushed them out of room. The moment the kids went out, they started screaming. Roman went inside the room again and brought his mom out, who was standing still, frozen with fear. Later, he called the rescue team.
After the rescue team caught and took the snake away, everyone went inside the home. Everything returned to normal except that the two kids were still scared. Roman felt guilty and even angry with himself. How could he have thrown the snake to two kids. But for the quick action, it would have hurt them! He went up to the kids, patting them on the head, and said carefully, “I’m so sorry. I mistook it for a fake one. Well….” After a short pause, he said in an excited voice, “Shall we play some game together now?” The kids burst into a smile. “What a thrilling day!” Roman texted his friend later that day.

【详解】本文是一篇读后续写。读后续写一般要求学生阅读一篇记叙文,然后发挥想象,运用自己所学的英语知识去续写一篇中心思想跟全文一致、合乎情理的记叙文。本文的中心思想是:一天,罗曼感到很无聊,来到客厅里乘凉,他的弟弟和朋友玩,罗曼错把一条蛇当做遥控器扔向了孩子们,罗曼必须采取措施把蛇弄走。考生在写作的过程中要注意:要根据以上内容写出罗曼如何救孩子的。本文要使用一般过去时。写作时注意准确地运用时态,使上下文意思连贯,符合逻辑关系,尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式,同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。特别注意在选择句式时要赋予变化。
【点睛】本篇作文要点齐全,结构完整,条理清晰,应用了较多的语法结构和词汇,When the snake came under the curtain, he grabbed two kids by their hands and brought them out of the room.使用了when引导时间状语从句;Roman went back to his room and tried to sleep, but couldn't, so he went upstairs to living room where he found his brother was watching cartoon.使用了where引导定语从句,熟练地使用了语句间的连接成分,使整个文章结构紧凑,很好地完成了写作任务。
