Desiree was only four when she lost her Dad. Instead of gradually adjusting to his death, Desiree refused to accept it and even wanted to die so as to be with her father. Concerned about her daughter, Rhonda turned to her mother, Trish Moore, for help.
November 8 of 1993 would have been Ken’s 29th birthday. So Trish advised Desiree to send her father a card. Desiree’s eyes lit up as she dictated a letter, “Happy birthday, Daddy. I love you and miss you. I hope you get this and can write to me on my birthday.” Trish wrote the message and their address on a small piece of paper and tied it to the end of the string on a balloon with a drawing of the Little Mermaid (美人鱼). Finally, Desiree released the balloon.
On November 12 in eastern Canada, Wade MacKinnon was duck-hunting. Suddenly something in the bushes caught his eye. Curious, he approached to find a silver balloon. The letter finished with a mailing address in Live Oak, California. The balloon traveled 3,000 miles. What a coincidence! A Little Mermaid balloon landed at Mermaid Lake. To help Desiree, the MacKinnons wrote her a letter with a birthday card and an adaptation of The Little mermaid.
The MacKinnons’ package arrived later on Desiree’s birthday. The letter read, “Happy birthday from your daddy. You must be wondering who we are. Well, it all started... There are no stores in heaven, so your daddy picked us to do the shopping. We know your daddy loves you very much and wants you to be happy and not sad. Lots of love, the MacKinnons.”
Tears in eyes, Desiree said, “I knew Daddy would find a way not to forget me.” Next, Trish began to read the Little Mermaid to her, in which the mermaid was finally carried away by angels. “The mermaid goes to heaven just like Daddy!” Desiree said with delight. She understood then her father was with her always.

We have heard some interesting ways that 5G wireless technology might change our lives in the future.
5G, short for the 5th generation mobile communication technology, promises Internet speeds between 50 to 100 times faster than current 4G systems. While 5G is set to be used in some limited areas of America this year, much of the world is not expected to receive widely available service until 2023.
One project in Britain, however, is already testing this superfast technology on an unlikely group of Internet users-cows. The project was developed by American technology company Cisco Systems. It also receives money from the British government. Cisco says the program seeks to explore the future of 5G connectivity in rural areas around the world.
Testing areas were set up at farms in three rural areas of England. The cows are equipped with 5G-connected devices (装置) that link up to a robotic milking system, which uses sensors and machine learning to fully automate the process. System designers say technology takes over after a cow feels ready to be milked and walks toward an automatic gate. The device is designed to recognize each individual cow. It then positions equipment to the right body position for milking. During the process, machines release food for the cow as a reward.
Other 5G technology tools include automated brushes that turn on when the cow rubs up against them. Sensors also control the amount of light to the cows’ living areas depending on the weather. And, an automatic feeding system makes sure the animals always get enough to eat.
Duncan Forbes, head of the project, told Reuters that the project shows the farm’s cow operations can be greatly improved with 5G technology and that the experiment provides strong evidence that 5G technology can be widely used in the future, not just on farms in Britain, but in rural communities across the world.
8. What is the purpose of Cisco Systems’ program?
A. To win financial support from British government.
B. To test the effects of 5G technology on animals
C. To promote its technological development in Britain
D. To expand the future use of 5G in rural communities.
9. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The project. B. The company.
C. The technology. D. The group.
10. What can we learn about 5G according to the text?
A. It is no worse than 4G in terms of speed.
B. It is already widely available in the world.
C. It enables cows to control their own milking.
D. It is based on sensors and machine learning.
11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Entertainment. B. Lifestyle.
C. Education. D. Technology.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。美国思科公司在一个项目中将5G技术应用于奶牛身上来实现挤奶的自动化。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的Cisco says the program seeks to explore the future of 5G connectivity in rural areas around the world.可知思科表示，该项目旨在探索全球农村社区5G连接的未来。也就是该项目是为了扩大未来在农村社区5G的使用。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段中的The project was developed by American technology company Cisco Systems. It also receives money from the British government.可知该项目由美国科技公司思科系统网络公司开发。它还得到了英国政府的资金支持。这里的it指的就是上文中的the project,故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的The cows are equipped with 5G-connected devices (装置) that link up to a robotic milking system …the right body position for milking. During the process, machines release food for the cow as a reward.可知奶牛身上配备的5G连接设备与一个机器人控制的挤奶系统相连。该系统利用传感器和机器学习实现整个挤奶过程的自动化。系统设计人员称，当奶牛感觉准备好挤奶并走向一个自动门时，接下来的流程将由技术完成。该设备可以识别出每一头奶牛。然后，它将（挤奶）设备准确地锁定到挤奶的位置。在这个过程中，机器会给奶牛投放食物作为奖励。由此判断5G可以用来让奶牛自己控制挤奶。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。本文主要是讲的将5G技术应用于奶牛身上，实现挤奶的自动化，由此推断这篇文章属于科学技术板块。故选D项。

D
Does the amount of cash in a lost wallet influence how likely a person is to return it? Classical economic theories suggest that the greater the appeal, the less likely we are to be honest—but a new study turns the idea on its head, finding altruism(利他主义), and a powerful hate for viewing oneself as a “thief” outweigh the financial attraction.
A team of researchers conducted a huge experiment concerning 355 cities in 40 countries. More than 17,000 identical wallets were dropped off at public places, each containing a grocery list, a key, and three business cards in the local language using made-up names and an email address. Some had no money while others contained the equivalent (等值) of $13.45.
According to the research, people on average returned 40% of wallets with no money in them but 51%with money. It also shows extreme differences between countries. But although rates of people’s honesty varied greatly from country to country, one thing remained remarkably constant: wallets with money, as opposed to no money, raised reporting rates.
In the US, the UK and Poland, they repeated the experiment with even more money: $94.15, which increased reporting rates by an average of 11% compared to the smaller amount. They also found that having a key expanded reporting rates by 9.2%.
The findings, which run counter to a fundamental principle of classical economics, suggest honesty, altruism and self-image can sometimes be more influential than economic self-interest.
A purely economic approach to behavior suggests people would keep the wallets with the larger amounts of money due to the increased financial reward, but economics often doesn’t account for a person’s sense of honesty or self-image, according to behavioral scientists. Altruism also influenced the findings, the researchers say. Since the key is valuable to the owner but not the finder, this pointed toward an altruism concern in addition to the cost of negatively updating one’s self image.
12. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?
A. Introduce a new topic for discussion.
B. Add some background information.
C. Describe a widely conducted experiment.
D. Provide the research results for the readers.
13. What’s the average reporting rate of a wallet with $94.15 inside?
A. 11%. B. 20.2%.
C. 51%. D. 62%.
14. What does the underlined phrase “run counter to” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Go against. B. Account for.
C. Agree with. D. Focus on.
15. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Classical economic theories have already been out of date.
B. People are more likely to return a lost wallet with more cash.
C. An experiment conducted worldwide proves people’s altruism.
D. Rates of people’s honesty vary greatly from country to country.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。遗失钱包内的现金数量是否会影响一个人归还钱包的可能性? 古典经济理论表明,（钱的）吸引力越大,我们就越不太可能是诚实的。但是一项新研究却发现研究发现钱包的钱越多，人们越有可能归还钱包。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段内容A team of researchers conducted a huge experiment concerning 355 cities in 40 countries. …of $13.45.可知一组研究人员针对40个国家的355个城市进行了一项大型实验。超过17000个相同的钱包被丢在公共场所，每个钱包里都有一张购物清单、一把钥匙和三张用当地语言写的名片，上面有自己的名字和电子邮件地址。一些钱包没有钱，另外一些钱包有价值13.14美元的东西。由此可知第二段作者主要是介绍了一个大型实验，故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据According to the research, people on average returned 40% of wallets with no money in them but 51%with money.可知根据这项研究，人们会还没带钱的钱包的平均概率是40%，而归还带钱的钱包的概率是51%。根据In the US, the UK and Poland, they repeated the experiment with even more money: $94.15, which increased reporting rates by an average of 11% compared to the smaller amount.可知研究人员在美国、英国和波兰用更多的钱重复了这个实验，也就是他们在钱包里放了94.15美元，与较少的钱相比，钱包被归还的概率平均提高了11%。所以在钱包里放94.15美元的这个实验中，钱包被归还的概率应该是51%加上11%得到62%。故选D项。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词所在的句子The findings, which run counter to a fundamental principle of classical economics, suggest honesty, altruism and self-image can sometimes be more influential than economic self-interest.可知研究发现表明诚实、利他主义和自我形象有时可能比经济利己主义更具影响力，研究发现run counter to古典经济学的基本原则。根据第一段的Classical economic theories suggest that the greater the appeal, the less likely we are to be honest可知古典经济理论表明（钱包的）吸引力越大,我们就越不太可能归还钱包。对比可知这项研究的发现与古典经济理论是相反的，由此猜测run counter to的意思是“与….相反”，故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容，文章主要讲了一项新研究，研究结果表明发现钱包的钱越多，人们越有可能归还钱包。所以B项（人们更有可能归还一个装有更多现金的丢失的钱包）能够概括本文的主要内容，故选B项。

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

本文是一篇应用文，介绍了几个可以帮助保护宠物免受蜱虫的叮咬的安全提示。
【16题详解】
根据前文. “Tick season” actually takes up most of the year. _可知实际上一年的大部分时间都是“蜱虫季节”。根据后文The following safety tips may help you protect your pet from harmful tick bites.可知以下的安全提示可以帮助你保护你的宠物免受蜱虫的叮咬。承上启下，E项（而在夏季，（蜱虫的）叮咬次数往往会增加。）切题，故选E项。
【17题详解】
根据后文Usually they are particularly fond of tall grasses and brush. If possible, clear your yard regularly to create a safer environment for your pet to play in.可知通常他们特别喜欢高的草和灌木。如果可能的话，经常清理你的院子，为你的宠物创造一个更安全的环境。承接下文，B项（蜱虫可以生活在所有类型的环境中。）切题，后文中的they指代的就是B项中的ticks。
【18题详解】
根据上文Check your pet for ticks daily, especially if he or she has been playing outside or in a wooded or grassy area.可知每天检查你的宠物是否有蜱虫，特别是当他或她一直在户外或树木繁茂的地方玩耍时。D项 （要检查的地方包括身体的大部分。）能够连接上文，跟本段标题（检查你的宠物是否有蜱虫的迹象）相呼应，故选D项。
【19题详解】
根据上文Removing a tick from your pet can be a terrible task, but it’s important to act quickly if you find evidence of a tick on it, as diseases can be spread from the creatures within a few short hours.可知清除宠物身上的蜱虫是一项艰巨的任务，但如果你发现了蜱虫存在的证据，就必须迅速采取行动，因为疾病可以在短短几小时内从动物身上传播。根据下文Among them using the tick remover is the most commonly used one.可知其中，使用蜱虫去除剂是最常用的一种。连接上下文，G项（网上可以找到各种各样的清除方法。）切题，后文中的them指的G项的varieties of removal methods，故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据最后一段内容可知这一段主要是关于宠物被蜱虫叮咬之后的症状，A项（了解症状）能够概括这一段，故选A项。
【点睛】七选五题型要求考生从整体上把握文章的逻辑结构和内容上的联系，理解句子之间、段落之间的关系，对诸如连贯性、一致性等语段特征有较强的意识和熟练的把握。所以懂得整篇文章的基本结构或段落的语篇结构对解题很有用。
分析本文的语篇结构，可以知道第一段是文章的主题句，然后接下来各段的语篇结构都是主题句（总）+支撑句（分）（分述主题的具体内容/说明原因/举例证明等）。所以第3小题本段的主题句是Check Your Pet for Signs of Ticks，而空格前文Check your pet for ticks daily, especially if he or she has been playing outside or in a wooded or grassy area和后文Run your hands along your pets body, feeling for small bumps (肿块) and looking for dark spots.都是讲检查宠物身体的，D项跟检查动物身体有关，故选D项。

第Ⅱ卷
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。
Ever wondered how many calories are in the human body? Or ever wondered why old people have ____41____ (big) ears than they used to? The winners of Ig Nobel Prizes (搞笑诺贝尔奖) have got the answers.
He Ig Nobel Prizes, founded in 1991, are to honor achievements ____42____ first make people laugh, and then make them think, The ceremony ____43____ ( take) place at Harvard University every year. Winners’ acceptance ____44____(speech) are limited to 60 seconds, ____45____ (strict) policed by an eight-year-old girl.
The honored research might seem ridiculous ____46____ first sight, but that doesn’t mean it lacks scientific value. For example, the research in 2006 on why dry spaghetti tends to break into more than two pieces was important ____47____ (discover) failure in bridge spans (跨度) or human bones And a follow-up paper ____48____ (publish) by MIT physicists several years later. But people are more likely to read about ____49____ (break) spaghetti than to read an academic paper. Even when there is no immediate usefulness, ____50____ is still good to encourage people to observe and think.
【答案】41. bigger
42. that/ which
43. takes 44. speeches
45. strictly
46. at 47. to discover
48. was published
49. breaking
50. it
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。搞笑诺贝尔奖听起来似乎很搞笑，但是这并不意味着它缺乏科学价值。
【41题详解】
考查形容词的比较级。句意：或者想知道为什么老年人的耳朵比以前大? 根据句意和than可知这里要用形容词的比较级，故填bigger。
【42题详解】
考查限定性定语从句。分析可知空格处引导限定性定语从句，先行词为achievements，指物。空格处在句中做主语所以要用that或者which引导这个定语从句，故填that/which。
【43题详解】
考查主谓一致和时态。分析可知take在句中做谓语。这里介绍的是一般事实，要用一般现在时。主语the ceremony为单数，谓语动词也要用单数，故填takes。
【44题详解】
考查名词单复数。speech为可数名词，根据后面的are判断这里要用其复数形式，故填speeches。
【45题详解】
考查副词。空格处修饰动词police要用副词，故填strictly。
【46题详解】
考查介词。句意：乍一看，这项久享盛名的研究似乎很荒谬，但这并不意味着它缺乏科学价值。at first sight为固定搭配，意为“乍一看；一看到…就”，故填介词at。
【47题详解】
考查不定式。这里使用了sth/sb+be+adj+to do的结构，故填to discover。
【48题详解】
考查语态和时态。本句的事情已经发生，事情发生在过去要用一般过去时。谓语动词publish和主语a follow-up paper是被动关系，要用被动语态。a follow-up paper是单数，谓语动词也要用单数。故填was published。
【49题详解】
考查动名词作宾语。about为介词，后面的动词要用动名词形式，故填breaking。
【50题详解】
考查it做形式主语。句意：即使没有立竿见影的效果，鼓励人们去观察和思考也是好的。根据句意，分析可知在主句中，to encourage people to observe and think是真正的主语，要用it做形式主语，故填it。
【点睛】选择关系词要考虑以下几点：
(1) 一看先行词的意义，即分清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点还是原因(如指物时不能用who或whom，指人时通常不用which等)。
(2) 二看关系词的句法功能，即分清关系词是担任什么句子成分，是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等(如作定语通常用whose，有时也用which；作状语要用when, where, why等关系副词。
(3) 三看定语从句的种类，即分清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句(如that和why通常不引导非限制性定语从句)。
本文第2小题，分析可知空格处引导限定性定语从句，先行词为achievements，指物。空格处在句中做主语，根据语法规则要用that或者which引导这个定语从句，故填that/which。

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桌之间交换修改作文，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。每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。
One day, when I was on the train, there were a crowd at one of the stations. A old man and a little girl tried to get on. Just as she stepped on the train, the guard shut the gate and leave the girl outside. The girl ran after the train and cried, “Mister, let me to go with him. My grandpa is blind.” Not knew where he was, the old man felt through the air for the gently hand of the girl. I took care the old man and got him off at the next station, when we waited till the girl came. That was the most touching thing I had never experienced.
【答案】第一句：were→was
第二句：A→An
第三句：she →he
leave →left
第四句：去掉to
第五句:knew→knowing
gently →gentle
第六句：在care后加of
when →where
第七句：never →ever
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己在火车上帮助一位失明老人的经历。
【详解】第一处：考查主谓一致。There be句型中be动词的单复数与离它近的名词的单复数一致。a crowd表达的是单数意义，be动词也要用单数，故将were改成was。
第二处：考查不定冠词。old由元音开头，因此应该用不定冠词an修饰old man,故将A改成An。
第三处：考查人称代词。根据上下文，这里是指“那位老男人”上了火车，应该用he而不是she指代an old man,故将she改成he。
第四处：考查时态。本句讲的是过去发生的事情，应该用一般过去时，故将leave改成left。
第五处：考查固定搭配。let sb do sth是固定搭配，意为“让某人做”，to 在这里是多余，故将to去掉。
第六处：考查非谓语。分析可知本句的谓语动词为felt, know句中做非谓语，know与逻辑主语the old man之间是逻辑上的主谓关系也就是主动关系，故要用其现在分词形式在句中做原因状语，故将knew改成knowing。
第七处：考查形容词。修饰名词hand 应该用形容词，故将gently改成gentle。
第八处：考查固定搭配。句意：我照顾了老人，在下一站让他下车。短语take care意为“当心，小心”，不符合句意。根据句意，这里要表达的是“照顾”老人，take care of意为“照顾”符合句意，故在care后面加of。
第九处：考查定语从句的关系词。分析可知when we waited till the girl came.是一个定语从句，先行词next station表地点，关系词在句中做地点状语不是时间状语，应该用where而不是when引导这个定语从句，故将when改成where。
第十处：考查副词。句意：那是我经历过的最感人的事。根据语境，这里要表达的是“经历过的事情”而不是“从未经历的事情”，never在这里不符合语境，应该用ever。故将never改成ever。
【点睛】不定冠词a (an)表示泛指，是"一个"的意思。a用于辅音音素前，一般读作[e]，而an则用于元音音素前，一般读做[en]。本文第二句中，old由元音开头，因此应该用不定冠词an修饰old man,故将A改成An。
