Ⅰ.根据提示填空
Bored with your life? ❶Dreaming (dream) of something different? I always wonder what life would be like 400km above my head.That's where the International Space Station ❷orbits (orbit) the earth, with six ❸astronauts (astronaut) living and working on board, for months at a time.
How do they sleep? They spend the night ❹floating (float) in a sleeping bag inside a small cubicle (小隔间) on the ceiling.American astronaut Sunita Williams explains，“It's like a little phone booth, but it's pretty ❺comfortable (comfort) and it doesn't matter if I turn over and sleep upside down.”
Brushing your teeth in a place where you can't have a tap or a sink can be a ❻challenge (挑战)．Can you imagine the mess that running water would make in zero ❼gravity (重力)? Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield uses a straw to put a big blob of water from a sealed bag onto an ordinary toothbrush and adds a little toothpaste which he has to swallow when he's done.
Daily exercise is ❽essential (必要的)．The lack of gravity makes bones more fragile and muscles lose strength — so astronauts are encouraged to work out for at least two hours a day.
Ⅱ.片段选词填空
be equipped with， reflect， old­fashioned， smartphone， payment， head for， die out， in return， instead of， increasingly

Today, in many places, like restaurants and hotels, people use WeChat or other kinds of ❶payment_to pay for their bills.So some scholars say that the wallet is ❷heading_for extinction.It will ❸die_out with the generation who read printed newspapers.The kind of shopping where you hand over notes and count out change ❹in_return now happens only in small retail (零售) counters, like buying a bar of chocolate or a pint of milk from a corner shop.At the shops where you spend any real money, that money is ❺increasingly abstract.At the most famous retail store Victoria Beckham on Dover Street, you don't have to stand at any kind of cash register when you decide to pay.The staff (员工) ❻are_equipped_with iPads to take your payment while you relax on a sofa.
Wherever you go, you can get an excellent service, if you have the money.But across society, the abstraction of the idea of cash makes me uneasy.Maybe I'm just ❼old­fashioned.But earning money isn't quick or easy for most of us.Isn't it a bit weird (怪异的) that spending it should happen in half a blink of an eye?
But I'll leave the economics to the experts.What bothers me about the death of the wallet is the change it ❽reflects in our physical environment.The opposite of a wallet is a ❾smartphone or an iPad.When we pay for anything, instead_of digging through pieces of paper and peering into corners in a wallet, what we need to do is to move our fingers left and right.Show your wallet, if you still have one.It may not be here much longer.

(加彩词汇为本单元话题词汇，读文时请揣摩其用法)
(2018·全国卷Ⅰ)We may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices (装置) well after they go out of style. That's bad news for the environment — and our wallets — as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.
To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life — from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box­set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e­readers showed up in 2007.
As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn't throw out our old ones. “The living­room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house，” said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We're not just keeping these old devices — we continue to use them. According to the analy­sis of Babbitt's team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions (排放) more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.
So what's the solution (解决方案)? The team's data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on­demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，过时的电子设备比新设备要消耗更多的能源，而且危害环境。因此从环保的角度来看，文章建议用多功能的新设备来替换过时的设备。
32. What does the author think of new devices?
A．They are environment­friendly.
B．They are no better than the old.
C．They cost more to use at home.
D．They go out of style quickly.
解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things”可知，这些过时的设备比那些做同样事情的新设备消耗更多的能源，也就是说新的设备更节能、更环保。
33.Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research?
A．To reduce the cost of minerals.
B．To test the life cycle of a product.
C．To update consumers on new technology.
D．To find out electricity consumption of the devices.
解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“To figure out how much power these devices are using ... ”可知，Babbitt和她的团队进行这项研究的目的是计算这些设备的用电量。
34．Which of the following uses the least energy?
A．The box­set TV.　 B．The tablet.
C．The LCD TV. D．The desktop computer.
解析：选B　细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“They found that more on­demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.”可知，在平板电脑上观看更多的点播娱乐节目，而不是看电视和台式电脑，可以将能耗降低44%，由此可知，平板电脑消耗最少的能源。
35．What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices?
A．Stop using them. B．Take them apart.
C．Upgrade them. D．Recycle them.
解析：选A　推理判断题。文章通过科学家的研究表明，过时的旧电子设备会消耗更多的能源，不环保。由此推知，文章建议人们停止使用旧电子设备。
学习目标 ——题后把脉规律，练后得法理解更透
四诀窍快速定位主题句
(1)首先浏览首段的首、尾句，及尾段的首、尾句，这是主题句常出现的地方。
(2)段落中出现表示转折的词语(如however, but, in fact, actually等)时，该句很可能是主题句。
(3)作者有意识地重复的观点，通常是主旨；反复出现的词语，一般为体现文章主旨的关键词。
(4)表示总结或结论的句子常包含therefore, thus, in short, conclude, conclusion等词。
本文主题句是首段尾句“these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things”，本句话的意思是“这些过时的设备比那些做同样事情的新设备消耗更多的能源”，据此可推知32,35题答案。

(2019·兰州诊断)A successful businessman, addressing the commercial club of his city, told a story of an orphan (孤儿) named Jim.
Jim was 12 years old, who was the_laughing_stock of the whole town. He never remembered having a kind word spoken to him in his whole life. One day as Jim walked down the street, he saw some flowers slip from a little lady's arms just in front of him. Jim gathered up the flowers and replaced them in her arms. “Thank you, dear; you are a nice little boy.” she said kindly, and went on her way after giving him a bright smile.
Jim was amazed. These were the first kind words he had ever heard in his whole twelve years of existence. He stood and stared after her until she was out of sight, then he made straight for a stream. He sat down on the bank of the stream and did some thinking. “Thank you, dear; you are a nice little boy，” he thought. Finally the boy pulled from his pockets a piece of broken mirror and looked at himself. He saw nothing but dirt. He went down to the water and washed his face carefully, almost painfully. Then he looked again. He scarcely recognized himself. He stood straight and looked up instead of down for the first time since he could remember.
A feeling of self­respect awoke within his being. At that moment the course of his life was changed; the determination to be worthy of the kind words spoken to him by the little lady, and to pass them on, took possession of his soul. After telling this story of Jim, the speaker paused and then he shocked the audience by saying, “Gentlemen, I was that boy. That gentle woman implanted in my life the first seed of kindness. As a tribute (敬意) to her I have told you this story.”

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者四岁时，在父母房间里衣柜的壁板上绘画的经过，表达了妈妈对他的爱大于一切。
1．A.relevant B．special
C．fair D．regular
解析：选B　根据下一句中的“looked around for fantastic paper”对比空处所在句中的“the usual paper”可以推断，作者认为自己的画纸太普通，即不够“特别”，所以选special。relevant“有关的”，fair“公平的，适当的”，regular“有规律的，定期的”，均不符合语境。
2．A.color B．shape
C．quality D．price
解析：选A　句中these sticks指的是首句提到的crayons，所以空处应该是指蜡笔的颜色，所以选color。

6．A.Flying B．Skipping
C．Waving D．Slipping

C．walls D．books
解析：选B　根据常识可以知道衣柜里常常放置的是大量的衣服(clothes)。
8．A.images B．cameras

解析：选C　参见上题解析。
12．A.broke down B．came up
C．got off D．went away

13．A.ambitious B．energetic
C．pleasant D．still
解析：选D　根据空后两句可以推断作者欣喜之余突然又产生了担心，因为在父母衣柜的壁板上画画是否会引起妈妈的批评呢？所以作者突然站在那里纹丝不动，陷入了思考，所以选still“静止不动的”。ambitious“野心勃勃的，有雄心的”；energetic“精力充沛的”；pleasant“令人愉快的”。
14．A.left B．escaped
C．approached D．jumped
解析：选C　根据空后“衣柜的门开了”可以判断妈妈进到房间里面来了，所以选approached“走近，靠近”。
15．A.actively B．confidently

Ⅲ.语法填空
More than 700 years ago, a 17­year­old Italian youth followed his father and uncle on a journey to the East, dreaming about the mysteries of China. The three set __1__ on a path that might have frightened even the most ambitious travellers. The young adventurer was Marco Polo.

Marco Polo's journey to China and the contents of the __7__ (vivid) written book, The Travels of Marco Polo, which __8__ (think) to be a fairy tale in Europe at the time, triggered a wave of European interest in the Orient.
Marco Polo's story is both one about an explorer's search for riches and a Westerner __9__ (follow) his dream to reach China. More than 700 years later, China, the once mysterious oriental nation, is igniting the Chinese dream of many modern Marco Polos, attracted by its rapid __10__ (develop) and its growing importance in the world.
语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。马可·波罗在17岁时就随父亲和叔叔来到中国，看到了中国那时的发展情况。七百多年后的今天，中国以其快速的发展和在世界上日益重要的地位吸引了更多人。
1．off/out　考查动词短语。该句意为：这三个人踏上了一条可能连最雄心勃勃的旅行者都害怕的道路。set off/out为固定短语，意为“启程，出发”，故可知答案。
2．travelled/traveled　考查动词的时态。根据第一段第一句中的时间状语“More than 700 years ago”可知，此处讲述的事情发生在七百多年前，故用一般过去时。
3．to record　考查动词不定式。一路上，他停下来详细记录当地的风俗、地理和人们的价值观，以便向可汗汇报。根据语境可知，空处表示停下来的目的，故用动词不定式作目的状语。
4．countless　考查形容词。根据语境可知，他从东方带回了无数的珍宝，一夜之间成了富翁。空处修饰名词treasures，故用形容词形式，再根据语境可知，应填countless，表示“数不尽的”。
5．a　考查不定冠词。该处泛指“一位富翁”，且wealthy的发音以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词a。
6．What　考查主语从句。分析该句结构可知，空处引导主语从句，也在从句中作及物动词witnessed的宾语，故用What引导该主语从句。
7．vividly　考查副词。空处修饰动词written，故用副词形式。
8．was thought　考查时态和语态。which指代The Travels of Marco Polo，为从句的主语，且该主语和动词think之间是被动关系，故用被动语态；再根据前文时态可知，应用一般过去时。
9．following　考查非谓语动词。a Westerner和动词follow之间是主动关系，且该处作后置定语，故用动词­ing形式。
10．development　考查名词。空前的形容词rapid修饰空处，且空处与后面的importance并列，故空处用名词形式。
