With the new semester about to start, our school is welcoming a group of new international students. We have some apps here with an English version that will make your life easier. We hope you will have a wonderful life here.
★WeChat
WeChat is now the most popular social media app in China. Almost everyone is using WeChat. You can send both text and voice messages on WeChat. You can also make voice and video calls. You can also post texts, pictures and video clips. If your friends in your home country have this app, you can also chat with them through voice or video. WeChat is also widely used now as a form of payment which can be used in stores, online, and in other shopping apps.
★Alipay
Alipay is a similar app to PayPal. It was first used on Taobao and now people can use it as a mobile payment option. You can even use mobile payment at street vendors, so if you have this app, you can leave your wallet at home.
★Didi
Now Didi seems to be the smartest way to travel around. With one tap, a car comes directly to you. Didi is a Chinese car-hailing service app. It has a function called “ride sharing”, which saves a lot of money for passengers, but it does not have an English version, so if you want to use it, you will have to learn some Chinese.
★Pleco
This is one of the top Chinese/English dictionary apps and it covers 130,000 Chinese words and includes 20,000 example sentences with pinyin. It is perfect for those who want to learn Chinese, and also for tourists who need to translate words or phrases from English to Chinese.

【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据★Didi部分中“It has a function called “ride sharing”, which saves a lot of money for passengers, but it does not have an English version, so if you want to use it, you will have to learn some Chinese.(它有一个叫“拼车”的功能，这为乘客节省了很多钱，但它没有英文版本，所以如果你想使用它，你必须学习一些中文)”可知，如果一个外国朋友想使用滴滴，他应该学习一些汉语。故选A。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据★Pleco部分中“It is perfect for those who want to learn Chinese, and also for tourists who need to translate words or phrases from English to Chinese.(它非常适合那些想学中文人，也适合那些需要将英语单词或短语翻译成中文的游客)”可知，Pleco对学习中文有帮助。故选B。

One Sunday night, a high school student, Rory Campbell, heard noises next door to his home in Bonita Mews, off St Asaph Road, Brockley. When he went outside, he saw his neighbor climbing out of a front window of his second floor flat, which was on fire. He then saw the man covered in black soot(黑灰), shouting for help.
The 15-year-old boy called the fire service and tried to calm the neighbor, who is in his thirties, until firefighters arrived. Rory said, “He was shouting ‘Help me, help me! Get a ladder, get a ladder!’ He was a bit hysterical(歇斯底里的). I didn’t have time to think. I just tried to calm him by telling him the firefighters were on the way.”
Rory was told by the man that the fire had been caused by a candle falling over. Firefighters from New Cross, Peckham, Lewisham and Forest Hill rescued the man by ladder and got the fire under control within minutes of arriving. The man was taken to a south London hospital where he is still recovering from smoke inhalation(吸入).
25% of the flat was damaged by the fire.
Rory, studying music, added, “As the man walked past me, he said ‘Thanks’ and that meant a lot to me. I do feel good because I helped save his life.”
Another neighbor said, “I heard a lot of noise but thought it was coming from the railway opposite. I couldn’t believe it when I saw the man hanging there. The boy next door really did save his life by calling the firefighters.”

A. Rory’s smoking.
B. Careless cooking.

D. A lighted candle.
5. Before the firefighters arrived, what did Rory do?

【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The 15-year-old boy called the fire service and tried to calm the neighbor, who is in his thirties, until firefighters arrived. ”可知，这个15岁的男孩打电话给消防局，试图让30岁的邻居平静下来，直到消防员赶到为止。即在消防人员到达之前，Rory他使他的邻居平静下来。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Firefighters from New Cross, Peckham, Lewisham and Forest Hill rescued the man by ladder and got the fire under control within minutes of arriving.”可知，来自New Cross、Peckham、Lewisham和Forest Hill的消防员通过梯子将其救出，并在抵达后数分钟内将火势控制住。即该名男子是由消防员通过梯子救出的。故选A。

C
There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier, "Paper or plastic？"Well, which type of bag would you choose？
While both types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are kinder. They are made from a renewable source, are broken down easily, burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled. However, the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true？
Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production.
And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher. Besides, the influence on forests is very serious. It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags, which happen to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling, the idea that paper bags are more environment friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded. Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does to recycle paper.
Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones, plastic still seems to be considered as the more harmful of the two by governments. In Ireland, for example, a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags. People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag, and as a result, their use has dropped quickly.
There’s no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However, we don’t seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so, cloth bags are a better choice, but still, their production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what to do? How should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic?” It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question: “What can I do to help the environment?”
8. The question at the end of Paragraph 1 is used to ________.
A. introduce points for discussion
B. tell readers how to save money
C. express the author's doubts
D. show the kindness of the cashier
9. Compared with plastic bags, paper bags ________.
A. take more time to break down
B. require less energy to recycle
C. need more water to produce
D. have less influence on forests
10. The underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 3 probably means "________".
A. share B. put forward
C. discuss D. give up
11. Which question does the author probably hope the cashier ask?
A. Paper or cloth?
B. A new bag or your own one?
C. A small bag or big one?
D. Paper or plastic？
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了生产和回收购物纸袋实际要比塑料袋消耗更多的能源，并不有利于环境，但人们仍然认为塑料袋对环境的危害要大一些，作者认为无论何种材质，重复使用这些袋子才有利于环境。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第一句话While both types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are kinder.可知，作者提出问题是为了引出下文的讨论“纸袋真的更好吗？”，故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher.可知，制作纸袋的用水量是制作塑料袋的20倍。故选C。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段中的Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does to recycle paper.可知，回收塑料比回收纸要更节约能源，故the idea that paper bags are more environment friendly than plastic ones(纸袋比塑料更环保的想法可能很快会被放弃)，故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的There’s no doubt that it make more sense to reuse these bags.可知，毫无疑问，重新使用这些袋子更有意义，因此推断作者建议人们循环使用纸袋，故选B。
【点睛】词义猜测题做题技巧
词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一，可以大致分为①定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer to，be called或that’s to say，such as等。②逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly, the same as, but, however, while, on the other hand, since ,because等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。③语法猜词，可以根据构词法，再结合上下文进行猜词。④语境猜词，猜测词义离不开上下文的语境，通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析，同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。⑤指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容，做题时要注意指代词的位置，以便于判断，然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致，最后比较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。
比如小题3，根据第三段中的"Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does to recycle paper"可知，回收塑料比回收纸要更节约能源，故"the idea that paper bags are more environment friendly than plastic ones"可能很快会被放弃，故选D。
D
Dive into the classical world via the remains of an ancient merchant ship that dates all the way back to 5 BC as Greece is constructing its first underwater museum.
Some of Greece’s vast heritage of ancient shipwrecks are accessible to the public (divers and non-divers) for the first time ever in a series of underwater museums. The first opened on August 3, allowing visitors to explore the “Peristera shipwreck”, which has been at the bottom of the Aegean Sea for more than two thousand years after it sank in the 5th century BC near the northern Greek island of Alonissos. Since a fisherman discovered the ship in 1985, it has remained off-limits to the public but now visitors can explore it by sea or by virtual reality.
Researchers believe it’s the most important shipwreck from the classical era. It had been believed that a trading ship of that type didn’t exist until the Roman era some 400 years later. So when it was discovered years ago, it completely changed our understanding of shipbuilding in the ancient world.
Experts have yet to determine how or why it sank although there are some indications that a fire may have broken out. It’s believed that it was carrying 4, 000 vases of wine when it sank, most of which are still lying on the seabed, along with fishes and some little creatures who now call it home.
Greece had banned diving until 2004 or so, due to worries that undersea ancient heritage would be taken away but now the country is wholeheartedly hugging its rich underwater heritage. Access to the Peristera shipwreck is available through a new project that will create underwater museums across the Greek islands over the next two years. Divers will be able to tour the shipwreck with licensed guides and non-divers can feel like they’re underwater with virtual reality information centres on land.
12. What is the main idea of the text?
A. An underwater museum is under construction.
B. An ancient merchant ship is discovered.
C. Greece is trying to protect its heritage.
D. Divers are interested in Greece.
13. How long has the ship remained off-limits to the public?
A. For about 2,000 years. B. For about 400 years.
C. For about 40 years. D. For about 20 years.
14. Why do researchers regard it as the most important shipwreck?
A. It carried 4,000 vases of valuable wine.
B. It becomes the first underwater museum.
C. It corrected some of our misunderstanding.
D. It is the oldest merchant ship in the world.
15. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Some virtual reality equipment is on the ship.
B. All the visitors need to stay underwater to visit.
C. A fire must have broken out on the ancient ship.
D. There is more than one way to visit the museum.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍希腊正在筹建第一家水下博物馆。
【详解】1.主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Dive into the classical world via the remains of an ancient merchant ship that dates all the way back to 5 BC as Greece is constructing its first underwater museum.(通过一艘可以追溯到公元前5年的古代商船的遗骸潜入古典世界，希腊正在建造它的第一个水下博物馆。)”可知，本文主要介绍了希腊正在筹建第一家水下博物馆。故选A项。
2.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Since a fisherman discovered the ship in 1985,it has remained off-limits to the public but now visitors can explore it by sea or by virtual reality.(自1985年一名渔民发现这艘船以来，公众一直禁止进入，但现在游客可以通过海上或虚拟现实探索它。)”可知该沉船从1985年与大众隔绝至今，由此可以计算出大约40年。故选C项。
3. 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“So when it was discovered years ago.it completely changed our understanding of shipbuilding in the ancient world.(所以当它在几年前被发现时，它彻底改变了我们对古代造船的理解。)”可知该发现重要的原因是它完全改变了我们对于远古时代商船建造的错误观点。故选C项。
4. 推理判断题。根据最后一句“Divers will be able to tour the shipwreck with licensed guides and non-divers can feel like they're underwater with virtual reality information centres on land.(潜水员可以在领有执照的导游陪同下游览沉船，而非潜水员可以通过陆地上的虚拟现实信息中心感觉自己在水下。)”可知参观并非只有水下这一种形式。故选D项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了几个帮助你开始写诗的方法。
【16题详解】
根据“This is hardly unusual, but the good news is that once ideas begin to flow, the craft of poetry is remarkably satisfying.( 这并不罕见，但好消息是，一旦思想开始流动，诗歌的技艺就非常令人满意)”以及接下来所给出的几点建议可知，有抱负的诗人刚开始坐下来写诗的时候可能会感到害怕，但是一旦思想开始流动，结果就会非常令人满意。所以文章会介绍一些如何开始写作的建议。由此可知，B项“这里有几个提示可以帮助你开始写作”符合语境，能够承上启下。故选B。
【17题详解】
根据标题“Don't obsess about（纠结）your first line.(不要纠结你的第一行)”以及“If you don't feel you have exactly the right words to open your poem, don't give up there.(如果你觉得你没有合适的词来打开你的诗，不要放弃)”可知，如果你在写第一行时就没有灵感，不要纠结，也不要放弃。由此可知，E项“继续写，准备好后再写”符合语境，而且E项中的it指的是上文中的first line。故选E。
【18题详解】
根据标题“Get tools.(获取工具)”以及“ You’d be surprised how many professional writers also make use of these tools. (你会惊讶于有多少专业作家也在使用这些工具)”可知。很多作家也会选择一些工具。由此可知，空处和写作的工具有关。G项“如果押韵字典能帮你完成一首诗，你应该用它”符合语境，G项中的 a rhyming dictionary 和标题相呼应。故选G。
【19题详解】
根据“Like any form of writing, poetry is enhanced by literary devices. Develop your poetry writing skills by inserting metaphor, allegory, synecdoche, metonymy, imagery, and other literary devices into your poems.( 像任何形式的写作一样，诗歌也是通过文学手段来增强的。通过在你的诗歌中插入隐喻、寓言、提喻、转喻、意象和其他文学手段来发展你的诗歌写作技巧。尽可能地读诗)”可知，本段主要表述像任何形式的写作一样，诗歌也通过文学手法得到增强，并介绍了一些文学手法。由此可知，C项“用文学手法提升诗歌形式” 适合作为本段的主旨句。故选C。
【20题详解】
根据标题“Read poetry whenever possible.(尽可能地读诗)”以及“both the classics and living, working artists(既有经典，也有生活、工作的艺术家)”可知，本段主要介绍要尽可能的多读诗歌，不管是由经典的作家写的，还是生活、工作的艺术家写的。由此可知，F项“通过阅读其他诗人使诗歌的语言成为第二天性”符合语境，既能照应标题，也能呼应破折号后面的内容。故选F。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was time to go home.“Remember to work on your class speeches for homework, ”Miss Walker called, as everyone started talking and packing their school bags. Jenny felt sick. She hated having to read aloud in class. She was sure everyone got really bored listening to her. Once, when Jenny was reading out her holiday diary, Lee was even looking at his watch, a silver and blue one which seemed just magical.
Jenny watched Lee walk ahead of her as they left school. He seemed so clever, and he had a certain sort of shining confidence. He was just one of those people who were good at everything. Jenny sighed. As she turned the corner, she saw Lee’s watch lying right in the middle of the path.
Jenny knew she should just pick it up and return it to him, but she didn’t want to run after him. Jenny bent down quickly, picked up the watch and ran home. On arriving home, Jenny put it on almost without thinking. She was surprised it fitted so well. She walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech. Words just flooded out of her.“I’m going to talk about swimming. I have been lucky. I’ve won lots of competitions. But when I’m in a race, I’m not really thinking about winning. I’m just loving the feeling of being in the water...”Jenny laughed with excitement. She walked across the room. She suddenly seemed to have a certain sort of confidence. Turning back to the mirror, Jenny saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass. The flashes of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lee’s watch really DID have something magic.
The next day, as the lesson began, Miss Walker asked who was going to be brave and go first. No-body moved. Jenny slowly raised her arm. Before Miss Walker could say anything, there was a shout from behind. “She’s stolen my watch!” Lee said angrily,“ It went missing at school yesterday.”
注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；             
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；

Paragraph 1: Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jenny, waiting for an explanation.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: At that moment, Miss Walker smiled and asked the class to listen to Jenny’s speech first.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Everybody was fixing their eyes in Jenny, waiting for an explanation. Dead silence suddenly fell. So embarrassed was Jenny that she felt her face burning and her mind going blank. Despite the unwillingness to admit it, she had actually made the most shameful mistake. Jenny was thrown into a dilemma whether to tell the truth or not. Considering the well-prepared speech and the magic of the watch, she plucked up her courage, uttering in a begging tone, “But Miss Walker, could I deliver the speech first?” All the classmates fell into tremendous curiosity, eager to witness her performance.
At that, Miss Walker smiled and asked the class to listen to Jenny’s speech. Overwhelmed with excitement, Jenny confidently made her way to the platform, words flooding out of her fluently. Never before in her life had she delivered such a terrific speech. Praises spread around the classroom and even Miss Walker nodded with approval. Feeling incredibly refreshed, Jenny finished her speech, which was greeted with thunderous applause. Relieved, Jenny exposed the truth and especially the magic of the watch. “But it’s just an ordinary watch without any magic.” announced Lee. Not until then did Jenny realize the real source of confidence comes from his effort rather than the watch.
【解析】
【分析】本文为读后续写。前文是Jenny捡到了Lee的手表，感觉自己的演讲变得流畅了。可是在她第二天要上台演讲时，Lee指认Jenny偷了他的手表，Jenny恳求老师让自己先演讲，Jenny流利的演讲得到了老师和同学们的赞扬，Jenny分享了手表有魔力的事情，可是Lee说手表没有魔力，其实是Jenny自己努力的结果。
【详解】根据前文的故事以及第一段Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jenny, waiting for an explanation.可知第一段应该是Jenny在被Lee揭穿后所做的反应，再根据第二段At that moment, Miss Walker smiled and asked the class to listen to Jenny’s speech first.可知第一段中Jenny应该是要求先听完Jenny的演讲，或者是老师要求先听Jenny的演讲，稍后处理Lee的watch的事。第二段则应该主要写Jenny演讲的效果良好以及演讲后对Lee的手表做出解释。
高分句型1:
倒装句型
So embarrassed was Jenny that she felt her face burning and her mind going blank. 本句使用了倒装句型。本句使用了so…that句型，so+形容词放句首句子用部分倒装。
