选择题部分

第一部分　听力(共两节,满分30分)(略)

第二部分　阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)

第一节(共10个小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

A

No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”,until it has been read aloud by someone,teacher or student.Better still,perhaps,is the practice of reading it twice,once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end,so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.

All discussions of poetry are,in fact,preparations for reading it aloud,and the reading of the poem is,finally,the most telling ‘interpretation’ of it,suggesting tone,rhythm,and meaning all at once.Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice,on records or on film,is obviously a special reward.But even those aids to teaching cannot replace the student and teacher reading it or,best of all,reciting it.

I have come to think,in fact,that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it,if there isn’t time for both.I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry.Poetry is “a criticism of life”,“a heightening of life,enjoyment with others”.It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”,and it “can save your life”.It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.

I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry.Those who don’t like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else.But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature,about its sound as well as its sense,and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.

21.The passage indicates that analyzing a poem is 　　　. 

A.not essential at all             B.a preparation for appreciating it

C.an approach to understanding it D.optional in class sometimes

22.The recitation of a poem by the teacher or a student in the classroom 　　　. 

A.is the best way to understand it

B.easily arouses some discussion among the students

C.helps the teacher to analyze it

D.can not take the place of the poet reading it

23.Which of the following statements may the author agree with?

A.The most important teaching goal is to have students read and recite every poem they learn.

B.Poetry is the foundation of all languages and literature courses.

C.The teaching of poetry should have been much more stressed.

D.Every English teacher is supposed to convey their love of poetry to their students.

语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。在文章中,作者阐述了诗歌教学的重要性。

答案及剖析:

21.D　由文章第三段第一句话“I have come to think,in fact,that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than ‘analyzing’ it,if there isn’t time for both”可知,如果课堂上没有时间同时朗读和分析诗歌的话,把时间花在朗读上比花在分析上要值得多,因此“分析诗歌”是可选择的(optional)的。

22.A　第二段第一句话“the reading of the poem is,finally,the most telling ‘interpretation’ of it,suggesting tone,rhythm,and meaning all at once”告诉我们,朗读归根到底是对诗的最全面诠释;这一段最后一句话“But even those aids to teaching cannot replace the student and teacher reading it or,best of all,reciting it”又告诉我们,即使是那些教学辅助手段也不能取代学生和老师朗读,更不能取代理解诗歌的最有效方法——背诵。可见,A是正确答案。

23.C　第三段最后一句话“It(指poetry) also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies”告诉我们在语言和文学教学中,诗歌本应该获得比目前更加重要的位置,即诗歌教学本该得到更多的重视。因此C项正确。

B

It is made from grapes grown without pesticides (杀虫剂) and chemicals, is kind to the environment and rarely causes hangovers (宿醉).Sales of organic(有机的) wine are booming in the UK.

According to the organic food and farming group Soil Association, sales of organic beers, wines and spirits rose by 14.3% last year to reach nearly ￡6 million, driven by the demand from consumers who are increasingly seeking “natural” food.

“It seems that people are rediscovering their link with the environment through organic food.Organic wines also taste better, perhaps due to less use of man-made chemicals.” said Finn Cottle of Soil Association.As well as the benefits of producing grapes without using pesticides, organic wine also contains less sulphur dioxide (二氧化硫), which can contribute towards hangovers.

Supermarkets are increasing supplies on their shelves to meet consumer demand, while the switch to online shopping has also helped, as people are more easily able to find what they are looking for.Vintage Roots is now one of the UK’s biggest online shops of organic wine, while Ocado provides more than 100 different organic wines and Daylesford, best-known for its organic vegetable boxes, has branched out into organic wine and spirits.

The discount supermarket Aldi is set to start its first collection of so-called “green” wines this week, offering eight wines with organic certificates.Aldi expects the wines to appeal to the young shoppers who are increasingly concerned about the environmental influence of the produce that they are buying and consuming.

English organic wine producer Oxney Estate’s Noir Rosé recently won the Waitrose prize for the most outstanding rosé wine at the competition.A spokeswoman for Waitrose said:“Organic wine is a growing trend globally and we have seen sales increase by 16% in the last year”.

24.Sales of organic wine are increasing probably because 　　　. 

A.consumers are now more environmentally aware

B.it offers a very different taste from traditional wine

C.consumers are tired of hangovers after drinking

D.it contains no sulphur dioxide or pesticide

25.The underlined word “Waitrose” in the last paragraph is probably 　　　. 

A.a wine producer     B.an organic wine

C.a wine competition D.a news agency

26.The writing purpose of the text is to 　　　. 

A.persuade readers to go green while drinking 

B.compare organic wine and traditional wine

C.share with readers wines without hangovers 

D.introduce a new consuming trend in the UK

语篇解读:本文主要向我们介绍了有机葡萄酒以及它的销售前景。它是由种植无农药的葡萄酿造的,是一种对环境无危害和很少引起宿醉的葡萄酒。有机葡萄酒的销售在英国蓬勃发展。

答案及剖析:

24.A　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Aldi expects the wines to appeal to the young shoppers who are increasingly concerned about the environmental influence of the produce that they are buying and consuming.”可知,有机葡萄酒的销量增加可能是因为消费者现在更具有环保意识。故选A。

25.C　词义猜测题。根据倒数第一段中的English organic wine producer Oxney Estate’s Noir Rosé recently won the Waitrose prize for the most outstanding rosé wine at the competition.“英国有机葡萄酒生产商Oxney Estate’s Noir Rosé 最近在竞赛中获得了最杰出玫瑰红葡萄酒的奖项。”可知,Waitrose指的是一个葡萄酒竞赛。故选C。

26.D　写作目的题。通读全文可知本文主要向我们介绍了有机葡萄酒以及它的销售前景。它是由种植无农药的葡萄酿造的,是一种对环境无危害和很少引起宿醉的葡萄酒。有机葡萄酒的销售在英国蓬勃发展。可知本文主要介绍英国的一种新的消费趋势。故选D。

C

As anyone who freelances(做自由职业) knows,there are lots of advantages of working at home alone.But there are drawbacks too,like the potential loneliness.No wonder co-working spaces are becoming so popular:they permit self-employed individuals to feel like they are part of all office environment,while making them get some work done too.But renting a co-working space does cost money.

Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people’s under-used homes into temporary co-working spaces,available to freelancers for free.Hoffice was started by freelancers Christofer Gradin Franzen and Johline Zandra about a year ago in Stockholm when they invited a few people into their home office to work together.It was a great success,and the project has since spread to a number of cities in Europe,North and South America,Australia,India and Japan.Anyone can sign up and offer their home space as a free co-working space,or go to find a Hoffice near them.

On a Hoffice day,everyone arrives and starts work at a certain hour.After 45 minutes,everyone gets up to take a break,stretch,do qigong or yoga for 10 to 15 minutes.Afterwards,people can gather around again,and restate their intentions and goals for the rest of the workday,as a way to motivate each other.Meals can be eaten together at a certain hour,potluck-style(家常饭) or by bringing your own lunch.

This process creates an encouraging and supportive work environment.As some freelancers describe,“By working at Hoffice,we give ourselves and each other the gift to spend our days in a social working environment,where we are extremely productive without ignoring our other human needs.We also make sure to give us and each other what we need to feel calm,happy,inspired and creative during the working day.”

So Hoffice is not just about sharing space;it’s also about a free exchange of ideas.And perhaps the best thing is that Hoffices are free to use.

27.Hoffice was started to 　　　. 

A.change people’s attitude to work     B.encourage people to be more social

C.improve people’s working conditions D.provide a co-working space for free

28.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A.How people respond to Hoffice. B.How a Hoffice day works.

C.What people share at Hoffice.   D.What Hoffice means to people.

29.Some freelancers’ descriptions of Hoffice suggest that they 　　　. 

A.benefit a lot from the working style B.work longer than before

C.expect more people to join them     D.can’t be separated from each other

30.What do we know about Hoffice according to the text?

A.It is becoming increasingly popular.  

B.It has been around for quite a few years.

C.It has created many new job opportunities. 

D.It is suitable for people from all walks of life.

语篇解读:文章主要介绍了为自由职业者免费提供的集体工作场所Hoffice。

答案及剖析:

27.D　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句Now a Swedish project is aiming to change that by turning people’s under-used homes into temporary co-working spaces,available to freelancers for free.可知,Hoffice是为自由职业者免费提供的集体工作场所。所以答案为D项。

28.B　段落大意题。本段主要介绍了Hoffice是如何运转的。所以答案为B项。

29.A　推理判断题。根据第四段中一些自由职业者的描述,we are extremely productive without ignoring our other human needs.We also make sure to give us and each other what we need可知他们在Hoffice这种环境下工作,效率很高,精神高涨,应该很有收获。所以答案为A项。

30.A　细节理解题。根据第二段中It was a great success,and the project has since spread to a number of cities in Europe,North and South America,Australia,India and Japan.可知,Hoffice这种工作模式自创建之初就受到欢迎,已经传播到世界许多城市。所以答案为A项。

第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Managing your time is a lot like managing money.31.　　　 With 24 hours a day multiplied by seven days a week,your weekly time budget is 168 hours per week. 

Step 1:32.　　 

Estimate(估计) the amount of time per week you spend on each activity,such as class time,athletics fitness,socializing with friends and other hobby time and so on.

Step 2:Assess your use of time.

a) Add together the total time you will use per week.

b) Now subtract(减去)the total time from 168 hours.

If the number you get is negative,you have used more time than there is in a week.You should cut back in certain area.

If you have time left over,ask yourself what choices can be made.33.　　　 Volunteering?Friends? If your time used equals 168,great! Now take a look at any hours you may be spending in some areas that you want to start using in other ways. 

Step 3:Determine a goal and plan of action for better time use.

What would you most like to do to better manage your time? You should consider using a calendar or planner(记事簿).34.　　 

Some tips:Color-code your calendar or planner by the activities listed above,and once you make a schedule,do your best to stick with it.

Step 4:35.　　 

You’ll want to take a look at this again at the start of each term,if you get a job,or if you notice any changes in your physical or emotional condition.

Besides,it is advisable to make a long-term goal in the first year and work towards it in the very beginning.

A.You are in trouble.

B.This is a good start.

C.Repeat,when necessary.

D.Do you have time for more sleep?

E.Figure out how you use your time each week.

F.Once you spend it,it’s gone,so you have to make it all count.

G.It can help you keep track of time,projects,tasks and be more efficient.

语篇解读:学会管理时间很重要,本文给出了管理时间的具体步骤。

答案及剖析:

31.F　本空前说管理时间就像管理钱,为什么呢?因为“一旦你把时间用了,它就再也回不来了,所以你要让你的时间花得有价值”。

32.E　根据本空后面的内容可知,第一步是要估计每周每项活动所需的时间,即E项内容“弄清楚你每周是如何使用时间的”。

33.D　第二步是要评定对时间的使用。根据本空前的what choices can be made可知,D项符合此处语境,同时也与本空后的Volunteering?和Friends?构成并列。

34.G　第三步是确定一个目标和行动方案来更好地使用时间。作者建议大家使用日历或者记事簿,此处应该指出这样做的好处,故选G项。

35.C　根据本空后面接下来的You’ll want to take a look at this again可知,这一步是建议大家“在有必要的情况下,重复以上步骤”。C项中的Repeat和下文中的again是解题的关键。

语篇解读:这是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者带着父母游玩塞维利亚的经历。

答案及剖析:

56.came　考查时态的用法。根据上文中的“This weekend”“was”可知,此处讲的是过去发生的事情,故应用一般过去时。下文中的“wasn’t ”“made”亦是提示。

58.brings　考查时态和主谓一致的用法。和你所爱的人在一个新的地方团聚是如此让人兴奋。此处陈述客观事实,应用一般现在时;且动名词在句中作主语,谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填brings。

第二节　概要写作(满分25分)(2018·浙江著名重点中学领航高考冲刺卷)

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Calling Latin a dead language is a matter of semantics (语义学).There are those who would suggest Latin is not dead,and that it lives on in everyday language used by billions of people worldwide.Others argue that because there’re routine updates on Latin published by the Roman Catholic Church,it is still alive and developing.

However,Latin is no longer used,on a daily basis,by the vast majority of people outside of specific religious settings,where tradition influences its use.It is no longer anyone’s native language.While its use is still taught,Latin is no longer considered to be a developing language to the degree of most modern languages.

The reasons for Latin dying out are numerous.Perhaps the most significant one has to do with the decline of the Roman Empire.During the Roman period,language was standardized to a greater degree.Because Rome was the most powerful political country in the Western world at the time,most of those who had any ambition to succeed had a desire to learn Latin.As a result,the language spread rapidly.However that rapid expansion would eventually begin to plateau (处于停滞状态)and finally decline.

Latin continued to be used during the medieval period.Throughout Europe,it remained the language of choice.However,with nothing to unite the continent,there was no need for a uniform language.So slowly,over a period of hundreds of years,Latin began to change as different regions developed their own dialects (方言),known as the Romance languages today,among which the most commonly spoken and recognizable are Spanish,Portuguese,Italian and French.

Though not directly related to the Romance languages,Latin still has had an effect on many other languages.English,for example,which is not one of the Romance languages but a Germanic one,can trace nearly two-thirds of its words back to Latin roots.

One possible version:

Some people assume Latin is a living and developing language,not a dead one.(要点1)But most people don’t use it in daily life anymore except on specific religious occasions.(要点2)Its gradual disappearance resulted from many factors,especially the fall of the Roman Empire.(要点3)With the Roman Empire rising and falling,Latin experienced its expansion,stability and then decline.(要点4)Although Latin changed as the Romance languages came into being,it still influences many other languages,like English,today.(要点5)
