A few weeks ago，my eldest son，who is in his first year teaching fourth grade in a public elementary school， （1）　 　 （decide） to put a suggestion box in his classroom，though he wasn't quite sure （2）　 　 the box would yield.The result was not so much suggestions as appeals （3）　 　 kindness.From "Lots of people don't mind their own business" to "I am stressed out because everybody keeps arguing about little things，" there was a class﹣wide desire for compassion，even if there is no clear sense of how to get it.
As a new teacher，my son is routinely surprised by things his 9﹣year﹣old students do，but more than anything he is surprised by how badly they treat one another.The children want to be on the receiving end of kindness but have trouble （4）　 　 （hand） it out.On a daily basis，they （5）　 　 （trip） up by three obstacles：lack of impulse control，thoughtlessness；and difficulty with forgiveness，or letting things go.
The episode reminds me of the well﹣known Henry James quote： "Three things in human life are important.The first is to be kind.The second is to be kind.And the third is to be kind." I think of these words when I'm with my kids，or just being a human in our world，struggling to understand （6）　 　 kindness is learned or innate （与生俱来的），or a little bit of both.Shortly after last year's election，I bought a book called On Kindness.The authors also present a tour of kindness through the ages，from the Stoics through today， （7）　 　yields one surprising truth：kindness，which seems immutable （永恒不变的） a part of the human experience as love or hate，joy or sorrow，is subject to cultural shifts， （8）　 　（govern） by the thinking and mood of the age.
Published back in 2009，On Kindness ends on something of a down note when it gets to our modern times.In our striving for success，we have become so individualistic，too selfish，loath to admit that we are dependent on anyone，which brings me back to my eldest son.Twenty﹣two years old，he is all too aware of what gets lost in growing up，and so he wrestles daily with how to promote and sustain a feeling of kindness in his classroom，for these children who are our future.His students are extremely sympathetic when one of （9）　 　 peers is upset. "They are very good at comforting each other，" my son recently told me. "But it's like they （10）　 　 destroy each other first."
Section BDirections： Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

No wonder they are called "patients".When people enter the health﹣care systems of rich countries today，they know what they will get：endless tests，baffling jargon，rising costs and，above all，long waits.This week three of the biggest names in American business﹣ Amazon，Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan Chase﹣ announced a new （1）　 　 to provide better，cheaper health care for their employees.A fundamental problem with today's system is that patients（2）　 　 knowledge and control.Access to data can bestow both.
The Internet already enables patients to（3）　 　 online consultations when and where it suits them.You can take over﹣the﹣counter tests to analyze your blood，sequence your genome and check on the bacteria in your gut.Yet radical change demands a（4）　 　 in emphasis，from providers to patients and from doctors to data.Technologies such as the smartphone allow people to（5）　 　 their own health.The possibilities （6）　 　 when you add the crucial missing ingredients – access to your own medical records and the ability to share information with those you trust.That allows you to reduce inefficiencies in your own treatment and also to provide data to help train medical algorithms （计算程序；算法）.You can enhance your own care and everyone else's too.
Medical data may not seem like the type of kindling to （7）　 　 a revolution，but the flow of information is likely to （8）　 　 fruit in several ways.One is better diagnosis.Someone worried about their heart can now buy a watch strap containing a medical﹣grade monitor that will（9）　 　 arrhythmias （心律不齐）.APPs are competing to see if they can diagnose everything from skin cancer to Parkinson's disease.Research is under way to see whether sweat can be analyzed for molecular biomarkers without the need for an invasive blood test.Some think that changes in how quickly a person swipes a phone's touchscreen might（10）　 　 the onset （开端） of cognitive problems.

Now elsewhere in the world，Iceland may be spoken of，somewhat breathlessly，as western Europe's last pristine wilderness.But the truth is，once you're off the （1）　 　 track of the low﹣lying coastal areas where everyone lives，the roads are few，and they're all bad， （2）　 　 Iceland's natural wonders have been out of reach and unknown even to its own （3）　 　 .For them the land has always just been there，something that had to be dealt with and，if possible，（4）　 　﹣the mind﹣set being one of land as commodity rather than land as priceless art on the scale of the " Mona Lisa".
When the opportunity arose in 2003 for the national power company to enter into a 40﹣year （5）　 　with the American aluminum company Alcoa to supply hydroelectric power for a new smelter （冶炼厂），those who had been dreaming of something like this for decades（6）　 　 the opportunity.For a long time，life here had meant little more than a hut，dark all winter，cold，no hope，children dying left and right，plagues，starvation，volcanoes erupting and destroying all vegetation and livestock，all spirit﹣ a world （7）　 　 almost entirely around the welfare of one's sheep and，later，on how good the cod catch was.In the outlying regions，it still largely does.
Ostensibly，the Alcoa project was intended to save one of these dying regions﹣the remote and sparsely populated east﹣where the way of life had steadily（8）　 　to a point of desperation and gloom.After fishing quotas （定额） were（9）　 　in the early 1980s to protect fish stocks，many individual boat owners sold their allotments or gave them away，fishing rights ended up mostly in the hands of a few companies and small fishermen were virtually（10）　 　.Technological advances drained away even more jobs previously done by human hands，and the people were seeing everything they had worked for all their lives turn out to be（11）　 　 and their children move away.With the old way of life doomed，aluminum projects like this one had come to be perceived，wisely or not，as a last chance. "Smelter or death."
The contract with Alcoa would infuse the region with foreign（12）　 　 ，an estimated 400 jobs，and spin﹣off service industries.It also was a way for Iceland to develop expertise that（13）　 　 could be sold to the rest of the world and（14）　 　an economy historically dependent on fish. "We have to live，" Halldor Asgrimsson said.Halldor，a former prime minister and longtime member of parliament from the region，was a driving（15）　 　 behind the project. "We have a right to live."

Section BDirections： Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A， B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
17．Is there a magic cutoff period when children become responsible for their own actions？Is there a wonderful moment when parents can become spectators in the lives of their children and shrug， "It's their life，" and feel nothing？
When I was in my twenties，I stood in a hospital passage waiting for doctors to put a few stitches （缝线） in my son's head.I asked， "When do you stop worry？" The nurse said， "When they get out of the accident stage." My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing.
When I was in my thirties，I sat on a little chair in a classroom and heard how one of my children talked continually and disrupted the class.As if to read my mind，a teacher said. "Don't worry，they all go through this stage and then you can sit back，relax and enjoy them." My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing.
When I was in my forties，I spent a lifetime waiting for the phone to ring，the cars to come home，the front door to open.A friend said， "They're trying to find themselves.Don't worry，in a few years，you can stop worrying.They'll be adults." My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing.
By the time I was 50，I was sick and tired of being weak.I was still worrying over my children，but there was a new wrinkle，there was nothing I could do about it.My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing.
I continued to suffer from their failures，and be absorbed in their disappointments.My friends said that when my kids got married I could stop worrying and lead my own life.I wanted to believe that，but I was haunted （萦绕心头） by my mother's warm smile and her occasional "You look pale.Are you all right？Call me the minute you get home.Are you depressed about something？" Can it be that parents are sentenced to a lifetime of worry？
One of my children telephoned me last month，saying， "Where were you？I've been calling for three days，and no one answered.I was worried."
I smiled a warm smile.

18．
Virtual reality
Probably the most exciting tech development of recent times，virtual reality （VR） has arrived，with sufficient options available to the consumer who's searching for an extra amount of high﹣tech fun.The cheapest way to get a high﹣end VR experience comes courtesy of Sony.Its PlayStation VR doesn't require a tricked﹣out PC or expensive phone﹣ it works with the Playstation 4 control board and comes with a few great games in its library.There is some equipment you can purchase to enhance the experience，but if you've already got a PS4 you can enter the world of VR for just ﹩400.Other high﹣end offerings like the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift，as well as mobile options like Samsung's Gear VR，will get your head in the game.
Wireless headphones
Combining ease of use with the ability to move wild around your home，gym or workplace，wireless headphones just make sense.And there are plenty of practical options to suit any budget.The Bose QuietComfort 35 wireless headphones are definitely worth a test drive，though.The full﹣size，around﹣ear Bluetooth headphones highlight active noise cancellation and double as a headset for making phone calls.They've even earned the Editor's Choice award at Cnet.com and can be purchased for less than ﹩400 online.
Digital cameras
While your phone is a worthy assistant，there's no substitute for a real camera when it comes to taking the perfect picture.And these days you can get quality specifications in a package that's almost as small as your smartphone.The shiny design of the Fujifilm X70， ﹩699，makes it the perfect companion，or you could go retro with the Olympus PEN﹣F （﹩1，200）that offers old school looks alongside cutting﹣edge technology.Domestically，it's worth checking out Xiaomi's mirrorless Yi M1 for a more affordable option.With a high﹣end 20﹣megapixel（兆像素）sensor and the ability to host multiple lenses，it's available from just 2，199 yuan.

（1）Sony can provide high﹣tech fun at the lowest cost because 　 　.
A.players can play free games online
B.PS4 owners don't need any other device
C.it gives players adequate experience
D.players have purchased expensive PCs
（2）What is Bose QuietComfort 35 wireless headphones' selling point promoted in the passage？ 　 　
A.They have various types to meet users' needs.
B.Users can reduce noise manually.
C.They work better in the wild.
D.Users can make phone calls with the headphones.
（3）If your friend，who favors everything in the styles of the past，plans to make perfect pictures with a new device，you will most probably recommend 　 　.
A.A smart phone.
B.Fujifilm X70.
C.Olympus PEN﹣F.
D.Yi M1.
19．Of all the changes that have taken place in English﹣language newspapers during the past quarter﹣century，perhaps the most far﹣reaching has been the inexorable decline in the scope and seriousness of their arts coverage.
It is difficult to the point of impossibility for the average reader under the age of forty to imagine a time when high﹣quality arts criticism could be found in most big﹣city newspapers.Yet a considerable number of the most significant collections of criticism published in the 20th century consisted in large part of newspaper reviews.To read such books today is to marvel at the fact that their learned contents were once deemed suitable for publication in general﹣circulation dailies.
We are even farther removed from the unfocused newspaper reviews published in England between the turn of the 20th century and the eve of World War II，at a time when newsprint was dirt﹣cheap and stylish arts criticism was considered an ornament to the publications in which it appeared.In those far﹣off days，it was taken for granted that the critics of major papers would write in detail and at length about the events they covered.Theirs was a serious business，and even those reviews who wore （展示） their learning lightly，like George Bernard Shaw and Ernest Newman，could be trusted to know what they were about.These men believed in journalism as a calling（使命），and were proud to be published in the daily press. "So few authors have brains enough or literary gift enough to keep their own end up in journalism，" Newman wrote， "that I am tempted to define ‘journalism' as a term of contempt（轻蔑）applied by writers who are not read to writers who are".
Unfortunately，these critics are virtually forgotten.Neville Cardus，who wrote for the Manchester Guardian from 1917 until shortly before his death in 1975，is now known solely as a writer of essays on the game of cricket.During his lifetime，though，he was also one of England's foremost classical﹣music critics，and a stylist so widely admired that his Autobiography （1947）became a best﹣seller.He was knighted in 1967，the first music critic to be so honored.Yet only one of his books is now in print，and his vast body of writings on music is unknown save to specialists.
Is there any chance that Cardus's criticism will enjoy a revival？The prospect seems remote.Journalistic tastes had changed long before his death，and postmodern readers have little use for the richly polished Vicwardian（维多利亚和爱德华时代）prose in which he specialized.Moreover，the amateur tradition in music criticism has been in headlong retreat.

（1）It is indicated in Paragraphs 1 and 2 that 　 　.
A.arts criticism has disappeared from big﹣city newspapers
B.English﹣language newspapers used to carry more arts reviews
C.high﹣quality newspapers retain a large body of readers
D.young readers doubt the suitability of criticism on dailies
（2）Newspaper reviews in England before World War 2 were characterized by 　 　.
A.free themes.
B.casual style.
C.elaborate layout.
D.radical viewpoints
（3）Which of the following would Shaw and Newman most probably agree on？ 　 　
A.It is writers' duty to fulfill journalistic goals.
B.It is contemptible for writers to be journalists.
C.Writers are likely to be tempted into journalism.
D.Not all writers are capable of journalistic writing.
（4）What can be learned about Cardus according to the last two paragraphs？ 　 　
A.His style caters largely to modern specialists.
B.His reputation as a music critic has long been in dispute.
C.His music criticism may not appeal to readers today.
D.His writings fail to follow the amateur tradition.
Section CDirections： Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
20．Directions：Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A.Even being good at getting others to fight most efficiently is not being civilized.
B.Most people believe those who have conquered the most nations are the greatest.
C.However，every year conflicts between countries and nations still claim thousands of lives.
D.And not only has it won，but also because it has won，it has been in the right.
E.So there has been little time to learn in，but there will be oceans of time in which to learn better.
F.People don't fight and kill each other in the streets，but nations still behave like savages.
Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals，while the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned.We do not know who first set a broken leg，or launched a seagoing boat，or calculated the length of the year but we know all about the killers and destroyers.People think so much of them that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general. （1）　 　
It is possible they are，but they are not the most civilized.Animals fight，so do savages；so to be good at fighting is to be good in the way an animal or a savage is good，but it is not to be civilized. （2）　 　.People fight to settle quarrels.Fighting means killing，and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some ways of settling their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off greater number of the other side，and then saying that the side which has killed most has won. （3）　 　.For that is what going to war means；it means power is right.
This is what the story of mankind has been like.But we must not expect too much.After all，the race of men has only just started.From the point of view of evolution，human beings are very young indeed，babies of a few months old.Scientists assume that there has been life of some sort on the earth for about twelve hundred million years；but there have been men for only one million years，and there has been civilized men for about eight thousand years.
（4）　 　.Taking man's civilized past at about seven or eight hours，we may estimate his future at about one hundred thousand years.Thus mankind is only at the beginning of its whole a pretty beastly business，a business of fighting and killing.We must not expect even civilized peoples not to have done these things.All we can ask is that they will sometimes have done something else.

The New Dinner and a Movie

Dinner and a movie was a two﹣part affair.But increasingly，the two have blended into a single experience，allowing moviegoers to get fries and a beer while they watch the latest superhero blockbuster.Full﹣service theaters have become a Friday﹣night pastime as Americans are going to the movies.
Dine﹣in cinemas are not altogether new.In the late 1980s，brothers Mike and Brian Mc Menamin opened one in Portland，Ore.A decade later，inspired by the Mc Menamins，Tim and Karrie League began pairing trendy beer with hits like The Craft at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin.But in recent years，the trend has expanded from marginal to mainstream.There are now 29 Alamo locations nationwide，from Omaha to El Paso.
Full﹣service theaters appeal to a broader，more regionally diverse customer base.At Movie Tavern in Roswel，Ga.，for instance，you can order popcorn seafood and a "Jumbo Jar" cocktail while watching Jumanji：Welcome to the Jungle.AMC，the biggest U.S.movie﹣theater company，launched Dine﹣In，where meals can be ordered with the push of a button.
The rise in full﹣service moviegoing coincides with declining ticket sales across the industry more broadly.North American movie attendance in 2017 dropped to what appears to be a 27﹣year low.The downward tendency is the continuation of a 15﹣year trend.As younger audiences choose to consume content on their smartphones and the popularity of streaming rises dramatically，it's no wonder that theater owners are seeking creative ways to stimulate customers off their couches.It's working：despite a 2% decline in movie attendance over four years，AMC Dine﹣In achieved 4% growth in just two.
Full﹣service theaters are not without complaints.Despite servers' attempts to quiet down，many find them distracting when serving food.Besides，prices tend to get steeper once varieties of food enter the mix.
But for those with the funds，the full﹣service theater offers reason enough to quit online movies.

II. Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections： After reading the passage below， fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word， fill in each blank with the Proper form of the given word， for the other blanks， use one word that best fits each blank.
14．ADirections：After reading the passage below，fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct.For the blanks with a given word，fill in each blank with the Proper form of the given word，for the other blanks，use one word that best fits each blank.
A few weeks ago，my eldest son，who is in his first year teaching fourth grade in a public elementary school， （1）　decided　 （decide） to put a suggestion box in his classroom，though he wasn't quite sure （2）　what　 the box would yield.The result was not so much suggestions as appeals （3）　for　 kindness.From "Lots of people don't mind their own business" to "I am stressed out because everybody keeps arguing about little things，" there was a class﹣wide desire for compassion，even if there is no clear sense of how to get it.
As a new teacher，my son is routinely surprised by things his 9﹣year﹣old students do，but more than anything he is surprised by how badly they treat one another.The children want to be on the receiving end of kindness but have trouble （4）　handing　 （hand） it out.On a daily basis，they （5）　are tripped　 （trip） up by three obstacles：lack of impulse control，thoughtlessness；and difficulty with forgiveness，or letting things go.
The episode reminds me of the well﹣known Henry James quote： "Three things in human life are important.The first is to be kind.The second is to be kind.And the third is to be kind." I think of these words when I'm with my kids，or just being a human in our world，struggling to understand （6）　whether　 kindness is learned or innate （与生俱来的），or a little bit of both.Shortly after last year's election，I bought a book called On Kindness.The authors also present a tour of kindness through the ages，from the Stoics through today， （7）　which　yields one surprising truth：kindness，which seems immutable （永恒不变的） a part of the human experience as love or hate，joy or sorrow，is subject to cultural shifts， （8）　governed　（govern） by the thinking and mood of the age.
Published back in 2009，On Kindness ends on something of a down note when it gets to our modern times.In our striving for success，we have become so individualistic，too selfish，loath to admit that we are dependent on anyone，which brings me back to my eldest son.Twenty﹣two years old，he is all too aware of what gets lost in growing up，and so he wrestles daily with how to promote and sustain a feeling of kindness in his classroom，for these children who are our future.His students are extremely sympathetic when one of （9）　their　 peers is upset. "They are very good at comforting each other，" my son recently told me. "But it's like they （10）　have to　 destroy each other first."
【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者儿子所教班级的一个意见箱演变成善意呼吁箱引发了作者对"善良是后天习得的还是与生俱来的"这一问题的思考。
【解答】（1）decided.考查时态。句意：几周前，我在一所公立小学教四年级的大儿子决定在教室里放一个意见箱，尽管他不确定这个意见箱会产生什么结果。空处作谓语，根据时间状语a few weeks ago可知，本句陈述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时，故填decided。
（2）what.考查宾语从句。句意：几周前，我在一所公立小学教四年级的大儿子决定在教室里放一个意见箱，尽管他不确定这个意见箱会产生什么结果。此处为宾语从句，从句中缺少宾语，指物，应用连接代词what引导该从句，故填what。
（3）for.考查介词。句意：结果与其说是建议，不如说是呼吁善意。名词appeal常与介词for搭配，表示"对.…的呼吁"，故填for。
（4）handing.考查动名词。句意：孩子们想成为善意的接受方，但却很难给予。have trouble doing为固定搭配，表示"做某事有困难"，故填handing。
（5）are tripped.考查时态语态。句意：每天，他们都会被三个障碍绊倒：不能控制冲动、轻率、以及难以宽恕，或者难以放手。空处作谓语，根据时间状语on a daily basis（每天）可知，用一般现在时，they与trip up（绊倒）之间是被动关系，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，故填are tripped。
（6）whether.考查宾语从句。句意：当我和我的孩子们在一起时，或者只是作为一个在我们这个世界里的个体，努力去理解善良是后天习得的还是与生俱来的，或者两者兼而有之时，我就会想起这些话。根据句意，表示"是…还是…"，用whether…or…引导宾语从句，故填whether。
（7）which.考查定语从句。句意：作者还介绍了从斯多葛学派到今天的历代善良之旅，得出了一个令人惊讶的事实：善良似乎是人类经验中永恒不变的一部分，如爱或恨、喜或悲，它受制于文化变迁，受时代思维和情绪的支配。此处是一个非限制性定语从句，关系词指代前面整个主句内容，并在从句中作主语，所以用which引导该从句，故填which。
（8）governed.考查过去分词。句意：作者还介绍了从斯多葛学派到今天的历代善良之旅，得出了一个令人惊讶的事实：善良似乎是人类经验中永恒不变的一部分，如爱或恨、喜或悲，它受制于文化变迁，受时代思维和情绪的支配。分析句子可知，此处应用非谓语动词作状语，kindness与govern之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，应用过去分词表被动，故填governed。
（9）their.考查代词。句意：当其中一个同学感到沮丧时，孩子们表现得非常富有同情心。此处指代前面的his students，应用形容词性物主代词their（他们的）修饰名词peers，故填their。
（10）have to.考查动词短语。句意：他们很擅长互相安慰，但他们好像不得不先伤害对方。根据句意可知此处强调客观环境，表示"不得不；必须"，应用动词短语have to，故填have to。
【点评】语法填空考查学生英语综合知识的运用，做题时要首先明确短文大意，从词语搭配，固定句型，语法，时态等方面综合考虑，结合上下文语境找出正确答案。

No wonder they are called "patients".When people enter the health﹣care systems of rich countries today，they know what they will get：endless tests，baffling jargon，rising costs and，above all，long waits.This week three of the biggest names in American business﹣ Amazon，Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan Chase﹣ announced a new （1）　K　 to provide better，cheaper health care for their employees.A fundamental problem with today's system is that patients（2）　D　 knowledge and control.Access to data can bestow both.
The Internet already enables patients to（3）　G　 online consultations when and where it suits them.You can take over﹣the﹣counter tests to analyze your blood，sequence your genome and check on the bacteria in your gut.Yet radical change demands a（4）　H　 in emphasis，from providers to patients and from doctors to data.Technologies such as the smartphone allow people to（5）　E　 their own health.The possibilities （6）　F　 when you add the crucial missing ingredients – access to your own medical records and the ability to share information with those you trust.That allows you to reduce inefficiencies in your own treatment and also to provide data to help train medical algorithms （计算程序；算法）.You can enhance your own care and everyone else's too.
Medical data may not seem like the type of kindling to （7）　J　 a revolution，but the flow of information is likely to （8）　A　 fruit in several ways.One is better diagnosis.Someone worried about their heart can now buy a watch strap containing a medical﹣grade monitor that will（9）　B　 arrhythmias （心律不齐）.APPs are competing to see if they can diagnose everything from skin cancer to Parkinson's disease.Research is under way to see whether sweat can be analyzed for molecular biomarkers without the need for an invasive blood test.Some think that changes in how quickly a person swipes a phone's touchscreen might（10）　I　 the onset （开端） of cognitive problems.

Now elsewhere in the world，Iceland may be spoken of，somewhat breathlessly，as western Europe's last pristine wilderness.But the truth is，once you're off the （1）　A　 track of the low﹣lying coastal areas where everyone lives，the roads are few，and they're all bad， （2）　A　 Iceland's natural wonders have been out of reach and unknown even to its own （3）　B　 .For them the land has always just been there，something that had to be dealt with and，if possible，（4）　C　﹣the mind﹣set being one of land as commodity rather than land as priceless art on the scale of the " Mona Lisa".

（2）A.考查连词及语境理解。A.so因此；B.when当什么时候；C.if如果；D.as因为，当。句意：但真相是，一旦你脱离了人们居住的低洼沿海地区那被踩平的路线，道路就很少了，而且路况都很糟糕，因此冰岛的自然奇观是难以企及的，甚至也不为本地的居民所知。联系上下文"路况糟糕"和"自然奇观无法被接触"是因果关系。故选A。
（3）B.考查名词及语境理解。A.government政府；B.inhabitants居民；C.countryside农村；D.scale范围。句意：但真相是，一旦你脱离了人们居住的低洼沿海地区那被踩平的路线，道路就很少了，而且路况都很糟糕，因此冰岛的自然奇观是难以企及的，甚至也不为本地的居民所知。联系上文low﹣lying coastal areas where everyone lives中的every就是指住在当的人，故此处用居民符合逻辑。故选B。
（4）C.考查动词及语境理解。A.designed设计；B.retained保持；C.exploited开发；D.preserved保护。句意：对于他们来说，这片土地就在那儿，有些事情需要处理，如果可能的话也叫开发，定势思维把土地作为商品而不是像蒙娜丽莎那样价值连城的艺术品。根据下文提到的有冶炼厂，电力公司入住，可知此处用"开发"符合语境。故选C。
（5）B.考查名词及语境理解。A.stage阶段；B.contract合同；C.transition过渡；D.prosperity繁荣。句意：机会出现在2003年，国家电力公司进入了一个与美国冶炼厂长达40年的合同期，那些人对这件事已经期待很久了，所以欣然接受。联系上下文，此处是指两个公司签订了个长达40年的合同。故选B。

（7）A.考查动词及语境理解。A.revolving围绕；B.developing发展；C.Stirring搅动；D.Initiating开始。句意：在很长时间里，这里的生活仅仅意味着一间小屋，黑暗的一冬，寒冷，没有希望，到处都是死去的孩子，瘟疫，饥饿，火山喷发毁坏了植被，牲畜和人的精神世界，这个世界几乎围绕着一个人的羊的福利，以及后来的鳕鱼捕获量。根据前文提到的，几乎所有牲灵都消失了，所以好像整个世界只围绕着少数东西运转。故选A。
（8）B.考查动词及语境理解。A.transferred转移；B.declined降低，衰落；C.grew增长；D.reformed改革。句意：在那儿，生活已经慢慢衰落到一个绝望和灰暗的程度。根据前文提到的dying regions可知，生活方式衰落了。故选B。

（10）A.考查短语及语境理解。A.wiped out清除；B.held up耽搁；C.kept down镇压；D.put aside搁置。句意：为了保护渔业市场，在20世纪80年代早期捕鱼定额被推行后很多的个体船主卖掉了他们的工具或者送给别人，捕鱼权最终落在一些公司手里，小型渔民最终被清除出渔业市场。联系句意，小型渔民因为没有捕鱼权，所以被清除出市场，符合语境。故选A。
（11）C.考查形容词及语境理解。A.priceless价值连城的；B.superficial肤浅的；C.worthless不值钱的；D.negative消极的，否定的。句意：科技的进步导致更多由人工完成的工作流失，人们看到他们一生工作为之奋斗的一切东西最终被证明是没有价值的，他们的孩子也搬走了。之前通过人工做的工作，现在由机器来完成，使得人觉得自身和生活都没有意义没有价值，觉得人甚至不如机器。故选C。
（12）A.考查名词及语境理解。A.investment投资；B.exclusion排斥；C.invasion入侵；D.landscape风光。句意：与美国铝业公司的合同将为这个地区带来外来投资，大约400个工作岗位和附带的其它服务业。联系上下文，在冰岛的美国公司属于国外投资。故选A。
（13）D.考查副词及语境理解。A.socially社会地；B.immediately立刻地；C.accidentally偶然地；D.potentially有潜力地。句意：这也是冰岛发展专业技能的方式，这些技能可能被卖给世界其它地方，并且让传统以渔业为主的经济多元化。联系上下文，能否把科技买到世界其它地方还未可知，所以此处只是表达一个可能性。故选D。

Section BDirections： Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A， B. C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
17．Is there a magic cutoff period when children become responsible for their own actions？Is there a wonderful moment when parents can become spectators in the lives of their children and shrug， "It's their life，" and feel nothing？
When I was in my twenties，I stood in a hospital passage waiting for doctors to put a few stitches （缝线） in my son's head.I asked， "When do you stop worry？" The nurse said， "When they get out of the accident stage." My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing.
When I was in my thirties，I sat on a little chair in a classroom and heard how one of my children talked continually and disrupted the class.As if to read my mind，a teacher said. "Don't worry，they all go through this stage and then you can sit back，relax and enjoy them." My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing.
When I was in my forties，I spent a lifetime waiting for the phone to ring，the cars to come home，the front door to open.A friend said， "They're trying to find themselves.Don't worry，in a few years，you can stop worrying.They'll be adults." My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing.
By the time I was 50，I was sick and tired of being weak.I was still worrying over my children，but there was a new wrinkle，there was nothing I could do about it.My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing.
I continued to suffer from their failures，and be absorbed in their disappointments.My friends said that when my kids got married I could stop worrying and lead my own life.I wanted to believe that，but I was haunted （萦绕心头） by my mother's warm smile and her occasional "You look pale.Are you all right？Call me the minute you get home.Are you depressed about something？" Can it be that parents are sentenced to a lifetime of worry？
One of my children telephoned me last month，saying， "Where were you？I've been calling for three days，and no one answered.I was worried."
I smiled a warm smile.

（3）C.推理判断题。根据文章第二、三、四、五段内容分别提到了自己在20多岁、30多岁、40多岁、50多 岁时对孩子们的担心，以表明她的一生中都一直在为孩子们担心。故选C。
（4）B.推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段One of my children telephoned me last month，saying， "Where were you？I've been calling for three days，and no one answered.I was worried."（上个月，我的一个孩子给我打电话，问我："你去哪儿了？我打了三天电话，都没人接。我很担心。"）可推断，作者之所以笑是因为之前一直都是自己在为孩子担心而现在孩子也知道担心自己了，作者因此感到很欣慰而高兴。故选B。
【点评】做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据．

Virtual reality
Probably the most exciting tech development of recent times，virtual reality （VR） has arrived，with sufficient options available to the consumer who's searching for an extra amount of high﹣tech fun.The cheapest way to get a high﹣end VR experience comes courtesy of Sony.Its PlayStation VR doesn't require a tricked﹣out PC or expensive phone﹣ it works with the Playstation 4 control board and comes with a few great games in its library.There is some equipment you can purchase to enhance the experience，but if you've already got a PS4 you can enter the world of VR for just ﹩400.Other high﹣end offerings like the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift，as well as mobile options like Samsung's Gear VR，will get your head in the game.
Wireless headphones
Combining ease of use with the ability to move wild around your home，gym or workplace，wireless headphones just make sense.And there are plenty of practical options to suit any budget.The Bose QuietComfort 35 wireless headphones are definitely worth a test drive，though.The full﹣size，around﹣ear Bluetooth headphones highlight active noise cancellation and double as a headset for making phone calls.They've even earned the Editor's Choice award at Cnet.com and can be purchased for less than ﹩400 online.
Digital cameras
While your phone is a worthy assistant，there's no substitute for a real camera when it comes to taking the perfect picture.And these days you can get quality specifications in a package that's almost as small as your smartphone.The shiny design of the Fujifilm X70， ﹩699，makes it the perfect companion，or you could go retro with the Olympus PEN﹣F （﹩1，200）that offers old school looks alongside cutting﹣edge technology.Domestically，it's worth checking out Xiaomi's mirrorless Yi M1 for a more affordable option.With a high﹣end 20﹣megapixel（兆像素）sensor and the ability to host multiple lenses，it's available from just 2，199 yuan.

（1）Sony can provide high﹣tech fun at the lowest cost because 　B　.

19．Of all the changes that have taken place in English﹣language newspapers during the past quarter﹣century，perhaps the most far﹣reaching has been the inexorable decline in the scope and seriousness of their arts coverage.
It is difficult to the point of impossibility for the average reader under the age of forty to imagine a time when high﹣quality arts criticism could be found in most big﹣city newspapers.Yet a considerable number of the most significant collections of criticism published in the 20th century consisted in large part of newspaper reviews.To read such books today is to marvel at the fact that their learned contents were once deemed suitable for publication in general﹣circulation dailies.
We are even farther removed from the unfocused newspaper reviews published in England between the turn of the 20th century and the eve of World War II，at a time when newsprint was dirt﹣cheap and stylish arts criticism was considered an ornament to the publications in which it appeared.In those far﹣off days，it was taken for granted that the critics of major papers would write in detail and at length about the events they covered.Theirs was a serious business，and even those reviews who wore （展示） their learning lightly，like George Bernard Shaw and Ernest Newman，could be trusted to know what they were about.These men believed in journalism as a calling（使命），and were proud to be published in the daily press. "So few authors have brains enough or literary gift enough to keep their own end up in journalism，" Newman wrote， "that I am tempted to define ‘journalism' as a term of contempt（轻蔑）applied by writers who are not read to writers who are".
Unfortunately，these critics are virtually forgotten.Neville Cardus，who wrote for the Manchester Guardian from 1917 until shortly before his death in 1975，is now known solely as a writer of essays on the game of cricket.During his lifetime，though，he was also one of England's foremost classical﹣music critics，and a stylist so widely admired that his Autobiography （1947）became a best﹣seller.He was knighted in 1967，the first music critic to be so honored.Yet only one of his books is now in print，and his vast body of writings on music is unknown save to specialists.
Is there any chance that Cardus's criticism will enjoy a revival？The prospect seems remote.Journalistic tastes had changed long before his death，and postmodern readers have little use for the richly polished Vicwardian（维多利亚和爱德华时代）prose in which he specialized.Moreover，the amateur tradition in music criticism has been in headlong retreat.

（1）It is indicated in Paragraphs 1 and 2 that 　B　.
A.arts criticism has disappeared from big﹣city newspapers
B.English﹣language newspapers used to carry more arts reviews
C.high﹣quality newspapers retain a large body of readers
D.young readers doubt the suitability of criticism on dailies
（2）Newspaper reviews in England before World War 2 were characterized by 　A　.
A.free themes.
B.casual style.
C.elaborate layout.
D.radical viewpoints
（3）Which of the following would Shaw and Newman most probably agree on？ 　D　
A.It is writers' duty to fulfill journalistic goals.
B.It is contemptible for writers to be journalists.
C.Writers are likely to be tempted into journalism.
D.Not all writers are capable of journalistic writing.
（4）What can be learned about Cardus according to the last two paragraphs？ 　C　
A.His style caters largely to modern specialists.
B.His reputation as a music critic has long been in dispute.
C.His music criticism may not appeal to readers today.
D.His writings fail to follow the amateur tradition.
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英文报纸在艺术评论板块的变化史。
【解答】（1）B.推理判断题。根据文章第一段的the inexorable decline in the scope and seriousness of their arts coverage.（艺术报道在发行范围和严肃性上不可阻挡的减少。）和文章第二段的imagine a time when high﹣quality arts criticism could be found in most big﹣city newspapers.（想象一个高品质的艺术评论可以在众多大城市报纸上出现的年代。）可以推测出，从前的英语报纸上有大量关于艺术评论的内容。故选B项。
（2）A.推理判断题。根据文章第三段的We are even farther removed from the unfocused newspaper reviews published in England between the turn of the 20th century and the eve of World War II.（我们与 20 世纪之交和二战前夕在英国发表的没有重点的报纸评论相去甚远。），中的unfocused可知，在第二次世界大战之前的英文报纸是没有主题的。A.free themes（自由主题）符合以上说法。故选A项。
（3）D.推理判断题。根据文章第三段的So few authors have brains enough or literary gift enough to keep their own end up in journalism.（很少有作家有足够的头脑或文学天赋来让自己最终从事新闻业。）可知，他们认为极少有作者足够有头脑和天赋能够从事新闻行业。D.Not all writers are capable of journalistic writing.（并非所有的作家都能够写作新闻）符合以上说法。故选D项。
（4）C.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的Is there any chance that Cardus's criticism will enjoy a revival？The prospect seems remote.Journalistic tastes had changed long before his death.（卡杜斯的批评有没有可能重振旗鼓？前景似乎很遥远。在他去世之前，新闻业的品味已经发生了变化。）可知，他的评论不会再复兴，因为大众对于新闻的品味早在他去世前就已经变了。C.His music criticism may not appeal to readers today.（现在他的音乐评论可能对读者没有吸引力）符合以上说法。故选C项。
【点评】做题时要通读全文，把握大意，然后结合题干及选项做出正确的选择。
Section CDirections： Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
20．Directions：Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below.Each sentence can be used only once.Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A.Even being good at getting others to fight most efficiently is not being civilized.
B.Most people believe those who have conquered the most nations are the greatest.
C.However，every year conflicts between countries and nations still claim thousands of lives.
D.And not only has it won，but also because it has won，it has been in the right.
E.So there has been little time to learn in，but there will be oceans of time in which to learn better.
F.People don't fight and kill each other in the streets，but nations still behave like savages.
Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals，while the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned.We do not know who first set a broken leg，or launched a seagoing boat，or calculated the length of the year but we know all about the killers and destroyers.People think so much of them that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general. （1）　B　
It is possible they are，but they are not the most civilized.Animals fight，so do savages；so to be good at fighting is to be good in the way an animal or a savage is good，but it is not to be civilized. （2）　A　.People fight to settle quarrels.Fighting means killing，and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some ways of settling their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off greater number of the other side，and then saying that the side which has killed most has won. （3）　D　.For that is what going to war means；it means power is right.
This is what the story of mankind has been like.But we must not expect too much.After all，the race of men has only just started.From the point of view of evolution，human beings are very young indeed，babies of a few months old.Scientists assume that there has been life of some sort on the earth for about twelve hundred million years；but there have been men for only one million years，and there has been civilized men for about eight thousand years.
（4）　E　.Taking man's civilized past at about seven or eight hours，we may estimate his future at about one hundred thousand years.Thus mankind is only at the beginning of its whole a pretty beastly business，a business of fighting and killing.We must not expect even civilized peoples not to have done these things.All we can ask is that they will sometimes have done something else.
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章批评了历史书中最常出现、最光荣的人物，大多是伟大的征服者和将军，而那些真正推动文明进步的人，往往从未被提及的现象，希望人类社会走向没有凶残的战斗和杀戮的文明。
【解答】（1）B.细节理解题。上文"We do not know who first set a broken leg，or launched a seaworthy boat，or calculated the length of the year，but we know all about the killers and destroyers.People think so much of them that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general. （我们不知道是谁第一个接合断腿，或是让一艘船下水，或计算出一年的时间，但我们知道所有的杀手和毁灭者。人们对他们的评价很高，以至于在世界上各大城市最高的柱子上，你会发现征服者或将军的形象。）"说明人们对真正推动人类文明的人并不在意，而对那些征服者、毁灭者却评价很高，选项B"大多数人认为征服了大多数国家的人是最伟大的。"承接上文，继续表述大多数人都认为征服者最伟大的现象。选项中those who have conquered the most nations和上文中a conqueror or a general语义一致。故选B项。
（2）A.逻辑关系题。上文"Animals fight，so do savages；so to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good，but it is not to be civilized. （动物会打架，野蛮人也会打架；所以，擅长打架（战斗）就是像动物或野蛮人一样优秀，但不是文明化。）"说明擅长打架，擅长战争并不是推动了文明，选项A"即使善于让他人以最有效的方式战斗，也不是文明化。"承接上文，和上文是递进关系，说明既使善于让他人搞战争，也不是推动文明。语义通顺合理。故选项A。
（3）D.推理判断题。上文"Fighting means killing，and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some ways of settling their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off greater number of the other side，and then saying that the side which has killed most has won. （战争意味着杀戮，文明的民族应该能够找到解决争端的办法，而不是看哪一方能杀死更多的人，然后说杀人最多的那一方就赢了。）"说明文明的民族应该以和平的方式解决争端，而不应该以杀戮最多为胜利，选项D"它不仅赢了，而且因为它赢了，它一直是正确的。"承接上文，解释了为什么一些人那么好战，因为杀戮最多，所以赢了，因为赢了就有了话语权，引出下文"For that is what going to war means；it means saying that power is right.（因为这就是参战的意义；它的意思是说权力是正确的。）"继续阐述某些人好战的原因，是为了赢得权力。故选D项。
（4）E.逻辑关系题。上文"Scientists assume that there has been life of some sort on the earth for about twelve hundred million years；but there have been men for only one million years，and there has been civilized men for about eight thousand years. （科学家们假定地球上已经存在了大约1.2亿年的某种生命；但是人类的历史只有一百万年，而文明人的历史大约有八千年。）"说明相对于整个地球生命来说，人类的历史很短，文明人的历史则更短，选项E"因此，我们人类几乎没有时间学习，但我们将有大量的时间来更好地学习。"和上文存在因果关系，因为我们人类的历史很短，所以我们没有足够的时间学习，人类的历史来日方长，我们将有大量的时间更好地学习，推动人类社会走向更加文明。逻辑合理。故选E项。
【点评】这样的题型，主要目的在于考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。解题时最主要的两个步骤就是1．理清文章的逻辑和结构，2．在所给的原文中找出关键词或者说是线索词。文章的整体思路能帮助你在答案中筛选出符合逻辑的选项，关键词则能帮助你确定更多的细节，排除相近的选项。得出正确的答案。

The New Dinner and a Movie

Dinner and a movie was a two﹣part affair.But increasingly，the two have blended into a single experience，allowing moviegoers to get fries and a beer while they watch the latest superhero blockbuster.Full﹣service theaters have become a Friday﹣night pastime as Americans are going to the movies.
Dine﹣in cinemas are not altogether new.In the late 1980s，brothers Mike and Brian Mc Menamin opened one in Portland，Ore.A decade later，inspired by the Mc Menamins，Tim and Karrie League began pairing trendy beer with hits like The Craft at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin.But in recent years，the trend has expanded from marginal to mainstream.There are now 29 Alamo locations nationwide，from Omaha to El Paso.
Full﹣service theaters appeal to a broader，more regionally diverse customer base.At Movie Tavern in Roswel，Ga.，for instance，you can order popcorn seafood and a "Jumbo Jar" cocktail while watching Jumanji：Welcome to the Jungle.AMC，the biggest U.S.movie﹣theater company，launched Dine﹣In，where meals can be ordered with the push of a button.
The rise in full﹣service moviegoing coincides with declining ticket sales across the industry more broadly.North American movie attendance in 2017 dropped to what appears to be a 27﹣year low.The downward tendency is the continuation of a 15﹣year trend.As younger audiences choose to consume content on their smartphones and the popularity of streaming rises dramatically，it's no wonder that theater owners are seeking creative ways to stimulate customers off their couches.It's working：despite a 2% decline in movie attendance over four years，AMC Dine﹣In achieved 4% growth in just two.
Full﹣service theaters are not without complaints.Despite servers' attempts to quiet down，many find them distracting when serving food.Besides，prices tend to get steeper once varieties of food enter the mix.
But for those with the funds，the full﹣service theater offers reason enough to quit online movies.

【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了虽然在电影院吃饭已经存在了十年，但提供电影和晚餐的全方位服务的影院正变得越来越受欢迎。

【点评】概要写作，简言之就是对所读过的文章简要概括，写出文章的中心大意，也可称之为摘要。写概要时，读者要是把文章的具体信息用一些具有概括功能的词和句表述出来，而不是抄袭文章的原句，更不是把细节性信息作为中心，而是要通过对文章中的单词、词组和句子进行合理转换，对文章的具体信息进行概括，再用合适的语言表述出来。这一题型主要考查学生对文章主旨大意的概括和准确获取关键词的能力，同时考查学生用简洁的语言概括文章重要信息的能力以及对文章整体结构的把握能力。因此，概要写作是基于阅读理解和书面表达，是二者的有机结合体，是阅读理解和书面表达的沟通桥梁。

【解答】Dear Sir/Madam，
In response to the article seeking public opinion on what kind of person is suitable to be a role model for young people，I strongly recommend Jay Chou，the famous singer and composer from Taiwan.【高分句型一】（点明主题）
There is hardly any young person who has never heard of Jay，a man in his forties，who has produced a great number of wonderful songs.【高分句型二】He is smart，handsome and humorous but also speaks and acts in a modest way.（简单介绍这位名人）
However，physical appearance，a good personality and a talent for musical creation are not the most important reason for my choice.What touches me most deeply is the fact that he has a heart of the purest gold.As the only son of a single mother，he has gone through considerable hardships，and because of this，he has formed a strong attachment to his mother and great sympathy for the underprivileged and disadvantaged.That's why he has owed his success to his dear mother，who always keeps him company and has always been actively involved in charity activities.It is said that intelligence impresses people，good looks attract people，and a kind soft heart moves people.Nowadays we don't lack celebrities who are attractive and smart；what young people need is someone who has strong moral standards and puts them to practice，year in year out.（为何这位名人适合做年轻人的榜样）
I'd appreciate it very much if my letter is published.I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely，
Li Ming
