这是一篇说明文。文章讲到随着越来越多的电子产品面世,给人们的生活增添了情趣。但他们同时也成为了“第三者”,尤其是年轻人之间。这一存在的普遍现象影响了人们的关系。
【1题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在某些关系中,电子设备似乎是一个“第三者”,因为有些人花在电子设备上的时间比两人在一起的时间还多。分析句子,表示一个“第三者”,表示泛指,third首字母的发音为辅音音素。故填a。
【2题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:当他们被领到座位,她开始点餐时,他就埋头于手机。分析句子可知,主语和lead之间表示被动逻辑,且时间发生于过去时。所以用过去时的被动。故填were led。
【3题详解】
考查介词。句意:他的手机似乎在我们之间走来走去。分析句子可知,此处缺“两者之间”的介词。故填between。
【4题详解】
考查情态动词+have done。句意:一场本应属于我们的约会变成了我男朋友和第“三者”约会,我感到被冷落了。分析句子可知,此处表示对过去的猜测,should have done译为“本应该做某事确没有做某事”,此处符合句意。故填should。
【5题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:2017年4月发表在《流行媒体文化心理学》杂志上的一项研究对近200名大学生进行了调查。分析句子可知,简单句中除了publish外还有动词questioned,故提示词需填非谓语动词。又因为publish和逻辑主语表示被动,所以用过去分词表示被动。故填published.
【6题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:结果显示,那些更依赖手机的人对他们的关系不太确定。be dependent on 译为“依赖于,依靠”是固定短语。故填on。
【7题详解】
考查形容词的比较级。句意:那些认为伴侣过分依赖他们的设备的人对他们的关系不太满意。分析句子可知,and前提到“过分依赖手机的人对关系不太确定”,该处用了形容词的比较级less sure。and前后级别一致,根据句意,此处也应用形容词的比较级。故填less satisfied。
【8题详解】
考查时间状语从句。句意:北京的关系顾问林媛(Lin Yuan)指出,随着越来越多的电子产品问世,给人们的生活增添了情趣,他们同时也成为了关系中的“第三者”,尤其是年轻人。分析句子可知,此处缺“随着”之意来引导后面的时间状语从句。故填as。
【9题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。句意:林说,她认识一些人,他们建议把电子产品放在卧室外面,她认为这对大多数夫妇来说都很有挑战性,很难付诸实践。分析句子可知,设问处考查非限制性定语从句,从句部分缺宾语且先行词指代前面的主句部分内容。故which。
【10题详解】
考查条件状语从句。句意:她建议,如果人们在恋爱中感到被忽视,他们需要尊重地让伴侣知道他们的感受。分析句子,根据后面的“他们需要尊重地让伴侣知道他们的感受”可知,前句需表达“如果”感觉被忽略。所以此处需填if来引导条件状语从句。故填if。
Section B
Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Robert Frost had aimed to be a poet since he was a teenager. But the American literary icon would not publish his first book of poetry until he was 39, and his best works would not follow until he was well into middle and old age. “Young people are good at discovering. They have a ____11____ here and there. It is like the stars coming out in the early evening,” he ____12____ at age 63, but “it is later in the dark of life that you see forms, patterns”
Frost’s ____13____ journey to fame during the dark of life, however, is far from the road less taken. Despite science society and silicon valley’s common belief that creativity, innovation and excellence are the near-exclusive province of the young, a surprising number of late bloomers mark the records of human history — women and men who ____14____ years of hardship, failure and missed opportunities before making an impact in the later stages of life. And once you move past the impressive stare of history’s Mozart-like geniuses, you find that late bloomers are quite ____15____: in fact, there are many more roads to becoming an old master than a young prodigy.
Sometimes you don’t discover your passion in life until you’ve done some other things first. Sometimes you don’t get the opportunity to make the most of your experiences until relatively late in life. Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonald’s, didn’t start building his business empire until he was 53 years old. Until that point, the former Red Cross ambulance driver was a traveling salesman, peddling milk shake machines and paper cups. “I was a(n) ____16____ success all right,” Kroc wrote in his autobiography, “but 30 years is a long, long night.”
Sometimes, instead of opportunities, life ____17____ obstacles on the road to success. It wasn’t until Laura Ingalls Wilder turned 65 that her epic Little House on the Prairie series was published. By then, she had already devoted decades to being a farm wife and mother, schoolteacher, loan officer and newspaper columnist, and she had endured more than her fair ____18____ of hardship, from droughts to house fires. Another influential writer, Miguel de Cervantes, wrote Don Quixote in his late 50s after an eventful life in which he spent years behind bars and as a captive of Barbary pirates.
Therefore, unlike the youthful genius, whose rocket-fast ____19____ impresses as well as depresses the rest of the world, the late bloomer demonstrates what is possible as people ______20______ their own versions of full bloom.
【答案】11. B 12. J
13. G 14. E
15. K 16. A
17. H 18. C
19. F 20. I

Section B
Reading comprehension
A
Some plants get so hungry that they eat flies, spiders, and even small frogs. What’s more amazing is that these plants occur naturally (in special environments) in every state. In fact, they’re found on every continent except Antarctica.
You’ve probably seen a Venus’ flytrap. It’s often sold in museum gift stores, department stores, and even supermarkets. A small plant, it grows 6 to 8 inches tall in a container. At the end of its stalks (茎) are specially modified leaves that act like traps. Inside each trap is a lining of tiny trigger hairs. When an insect lands on them, the trap suddenly shuts. Over the course of a week or so, the plant feeds on its catch.
The Venus flytrap is just one of more than 500 species of meat-eating plants, says Barry Meyers-Rice, the editor of the International carnivorous (食肉的) Plant Society’ s Newsletter. Note: Despite any science-fiction stories you might have read, no meat-eating plant does any danger to humans.
Dr. Meyers-Rice says a plant is meat-eating, only if it does all four of the following “attract, kill, digest, and absorb” some from of insects, including flies, butterflies, and moths. Meat-eating plants look and act like other green plants -- well, most of the time.
All green plants make sugar through a process called photosynthesis (光合作用). Plants use the sugar to make food. What makes “meat-eating” plants different is their bug-catching leaves. They need insects for one reason: nitrogen. Nitrogen is a nutrient that they can’t obtain any other way. While almost all green plants on our planet get nitrogen from the soil, “meat-eating” plants can’t. They live in places where nutrients are hard or almost impossible to get from the soil because of its acidity. So they’ve come to rely on getting nitrogen from insects and small animals. In fact, nutrient-rich soil is poisonous to “meat-eating” plants. Never fertilize them! But don’t worry, either, if they never seem to catch any insects. They can survive, but they’ll grow very slowly.
36. According to the passage, carnivorous plants ________.
A. only grow in wild field B. are rare to see
C. are as common as flies D. cannot grow on Antarctica
37. Venus flytrap preys on insects with ________.
A. its numerous long an thin stalks B. a container where it grows
C. its insect-catching leaves D. the lining of tiny trigger hairs
38. We can conclude from the third paragraph that ________.
A. carnivorous plants are dangerous
B. carnivorous plants are fictional
C. carnivorous plants occasionally eat book
D. carnivorous plants are harmless to humans
39. In the eyes of the author, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Carnivorous plants cannot grow in acid soil
B. Carnivorous plants can grow in nutrient-poor soil
C. Carnivorous plants will die if they cannot catch any insects
D. Carnivorous plants can get nitrogen from nutrient-rich soil
【答案】36. D 37. C 38. D 39. B
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章以捕蝇草为例主要介绍了食肉植物的生长地方、捕食猎物的方式以及它们捕捉昆虫的原因。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的最后一句“In fact, they’re found on every continent except Antarctica.”可知,除了南极洲,其他大陆都有食肉植物的踪影。故选D项。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“At the end of its stalks (茎) are specially modified leaves that act like traps. Inside each trap is a lining of tiny trigger hairs. When an insect lands on them, the trap suddenly shuts. ”可知,捕蝇草茎的末端是经过特殊改造的类似陷阱一样的叶子,每个陷阱里都有一个小小的刺针。当昆虫落在它们身上时,陷阱突然关闭。由此可知,捕蝇草捕食昆虫是用了专门捕虫的叶子。故选C项。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的最后一句“Note: Despite any science-fiction stories you might have read, no meat-eating plant does any danger to humans.”可知,但食肉植物对人类是没有任何伤害的。由此可推知,食肉植物对人类是无害的。故选D项。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“In fact, nutrient-rich soil is poisonous to “meat-eating” plants. Never fertilize them! But don’t worry, either, if they never seem to catch any insects. They can survive, but they’ll grow very slowly.”可知,营养丰富的土壤对食肉植物是有毒的。永远不要给它们施肥!但如果它们不能抓到昆虫的话也别担心。它们是能活下来的,只不过生长的很慢。由此可知,食肉植物可以在贫瘠的土壤中生长。故选B项。

Philosophy of Education is a label applied to the study of the purpose, process, nature and ideals of education. It can be considered a branch of both philosophy and education. Education can be defined as the teaching and learning of specific skills, and the imparting of knowledge, judgment and wisdom, and is something broader than the societal institution of education we often speak of.
Many educationalists consider it a weak and imprecise field, too far removed from the practical applications of the real world to be useful. But philosophers dating back to Plato and the Ancient Greeks have given the area much thought and emphasis, and there is little doubt that their work has helped shape the practice of education over the millennia.
Plato is the earliest important educational thinker, and education is an essential element in “The Republic” (his most important work on philosophy and political theory, written around 360 B.C.). In it, he advocates some rather extreme methods: removing children from their mothers’ care and raising them as wards of the state, and differentiating children suitable to the various castes(社会等级), the highest receiving the most education, so that they could act as guardians of the city and care for the less able. He believed that education should be holistic(全面的), including facts, skills, physical discipline, music and art. Plato believed that talent and intelligence is not distributed genetically and thus is to be found in children born to all classes, although his proposed system of selective public education for an educated minority of the population does not really follow a democratic model.
Aristotle considered human nature, habit and reason to be equally important forces to be cultivated in education, the ultimate aim of which should be to produce good and virtuous citizens. He proposed that teachers lead their students systematically, and that repetition be used as a key tool to develop good habits, unlike Socrates’ emphasis on questioning his listeners to bring out their own ideas. He emphasized the balancing of the theoretical and practical aspects of subjects taught, among which he clearly mentions reading, writing, mathematics, music, physical education, literature, history, and a wide range of sciences, as well as play, which he also considered important.
During the period of Middle Age, the idea of Perennialism was first formulated by St. Thomas Aquinas in his work “De Magistro”. Perennialism holds that one should teach those things deemed to be of everlasting importance to all people everywhere, namely principles and reasoning, not just facts (which are apt to change over time), and that one should teach first about people, not machines or techniques. It was originally religious in nature, and it was only much later that a theory of worldly Perennialism developed.
During the Renaissance(文艺复兴), the French doubter Michel de Montaigne (1533 - 1592) was one of the first to critically look at education. Unusually for his time, Montaigne was willing to question the conventional wisdom of the period, calling into question the whole structure of the educational system, and the assumption that university-educated philosophers were necessarily wiser than uneducated farm workers, for example.
43. Why do many educationists consider philosophy a ‘weak and imprecise field’?
A. It is the practical applications of the real world.
B. Its theoretical concepts are easily understood.
C. It is irrelevant for education.
D. It is not practically applicable.
44. What is the difference between the approaches of Socrates and Aristotle?
A. Aristotle felt the need for repetition to develop good habits in students; Socrates felt that students need to be constantly questioned.
B. Aristotle felt the need for rote-learning; Socrates emphasized on dialogic learning.
C. There was no difference.
D. Aristotle emphasized on the importance of paying attention to human nature; Socrates emphasized upon science.
45. According to the passage, the underlined word “Perennialism” most probably refers to something _____________
A. that is unnecessary. B. that is of ceaseless importance.
C. that is abstract and theoretical. D. that exists no more.
46. Why did Aquinas propose a model of education which did not lay much emphasis on facts?
A. Facts are not important.
B. Facts do not lead to holistic education.
C. Facts change with the changing times.
D. Facts are frozen in time.

【分析】
本文是一篇说明文,介绍了几位历史上几位最著名的哲学家柏拉图、亚里士多德、苏格拉底、阿奎那以及蒙田的教育理论。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Many educationalists consider it a weak and imprecise field, too far removed from the practical applications of the real world to be useful.”可知,很多教育家认为哲学是一个薄弱而不精确的领域是因为他们认为哲学并不实用,故D项正确。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Aristotle considered human nature…and that repetition be used as a key tool to develop good habits, unlike Socrates’ emphasis on questioning his listeners to bring out their own ideas.”可知,亚里士多德认为应该将重复作为培养良好习惯的关键工具,苏格拉底则认为应该通过不断地提问学生来引出自己的观点,故A项正确。
【45题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“Perennialism holds that one should teach those things deemed to be of everlasting importance to all people everywhere, namely principles and reasoning, not just facts”可知,永恒主义认为一个人应该教授那些对世界上所有人都重要的东西,即原则和推理,而不仅仅是事实,由此可知Perennialism指的是非常重要的理论,故B项正确。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“…not just facts (which are apt to change over time)”可知,阿奎那提出一种不注重事实的教育模式是因为事实随着时间的变化而变化,故C项正确。
【点睛】本文介绍了几位历史上几位最著名的哲学家对教育的理论,由于话题原因比较难理解,难度很大,涉及到对比人物观点的时候,我们可以利用定位法,根据题干中出现的人物快速在文中找到对应的内容,例如第2题,题干问的是亚里士多德和苏格拉底教学方法的不同之处,根据题干中的Socrates and Aristotle我们定位第四段中的“Aristotle considered human nature…and that repetition be used as a key tool to develop good habits, unlike Socrates’ emphasis on questioning his listeners to bring out their own ideas.”可知,亚里士多德认为应该将重复作为培养良好习惯的关键工具,不像苏格拉底认为应该通过不断地提问学生来引出自己的观点。故选A项。

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given behind. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Living off grid
When you need electricity, you just plug in the machine and switch it on. If you need water, you turn on the tap. ____47____ For many people, these facilities are the basics of civilized society and the idea of living without them seems risky. Yet for a growing number of people, the idea of living off grid — without electricity, water or sewage — is an increasingly attractive lifestyle.
Off-gridders do not have to give up electricity or a modern lifestyle — some choose to, but most use small hydroelectric power systems, solar panels or windmills to generate enough power for their needs. Heating and cooking needs are met by solar energy or wood burning systems, and toilet facilities range from non-water toilets to outside compost toilets. ____48____ It ranges from traditional yurts (a type of tent) to luxury house with high-speed internet and central heating. Whether they live in simple homes or luxury houses, what they all have in common is that their lifestyles do not create any pollution or carbon emissions — the ultimate goal for off-gridders.
Around 100,000 people are thought to be living off grid in the UK now. ____49____ They grow their own food, home-school their children and provide their own medical care. They are people who have been priced out of the housing market or who have grown disillusioned with what modern society can offer and who decides that an alternative lifestyle isn’t a pipe dream, but a viable option.
A part from living an alternative lifestyle, cost is a big factor in choosing to live off-grid. Off-grid houses are far cheaper to build than ordinary homes since they don’t need to be connected to the electricity or water supplies and even road access is not necessary. Materials tend to be cheaper, too. Popular options include straw or old tyres and cement.
Surprisingly, the biggest problem off-gridders face is not building their homes or becoming self-sufficient but getting permission to build. Rural areas away from town are the perfect choice but these are often protected by law from construction of any kind or have building restrictions. There are now several websites dedicated to land-sharing so that the costs of buying land and getting permission can be shared, and there are increasing numbers of off-grid communities. ____50____ Off-gridding could soon be common all over Europe and America.
A. Many are self-sufficient, not just providing their own electricity, water and sewage systems, but in all aspects.
B. After you use the toilet, you flush it and the waste disappears.
C. This shift from individual to group off-gridding reflects the fact that the trend is growing noticeably.
D. They live in a huge variety of types of accommodation.
E. Living off-grid still has a long way to go before it becomes a mainstream way of living.
F. Rather than building permanent homes, vans or mobile homes or even old shipping containers are other options.

Ⅳ. Summary Writing
51.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.
In spite of all of the years spent in school preparing to enter the workplace, many recent graduates say that they struggle with the transition from classroom to career world and have difficulty adjusting to life on the job.
Writer and editor Joseph Lewis suggests one reason why this is the case. Lewis believes that most of our school experiences — from childhood through university -are fairly predictable, while life in the working world is far more ambiguous. In school, for example, the pattern stays more or less the same from year to year. In the workplace, however, constant change is the norm, and one has to adapt quickly. A project you are working on this month might suddenly change next month or next week, and it’s often hard to anticipate what you’ll be doing six to twelve months from now.
Another problem that graduates entering the workforce encounter is that they are unprepared to think analytically. In school, many students including those in college, spend a lot of time memorizing facts and repeating what they “learned” on tests. But in the workplace employees are often expected to think critically and make decisions about their work, not just follow a supervisor’s instructions.
Finally, many recent graduates say that one of the biggest difficulties they face is adapting to teamwork on the job. In some ways, school does prepare one for collaborative nature of the workplace. Learners sit classes every day with many other students. They must listen to others’ opinions, participate at times in group discussions, and learn how to get along outside the classroom. Nevertheless, in school, a student normally works independently to complete most tasks and receives a grade according to how well he or she has done. In the workplace, however, employees must regularly interact with others and are often dependent on their co-workers for their success.
【答案】Many graduates have difficulty adjusting to work life with three problems. First, they can predict school experiences but cannot predict the ones in workplace. Second, they cannot think analytically. Finally, adapting to job’s teamwork is difficult. This article mentions a phenomenon and explain the reasons in three aspects with the comparisons between the school life and workplace life.
