A
Resorts of every kind have sprung up to cater to the Englishman need to spend a part of the year, however briefly, by the seaside. No town in Britain is more than eighty miles from the sea and there are seaside resorts all round the coast. On a summer Sunday most of the roads that lead to the sea axe congested (拥挤) with cars full of people eager to get a breath of sea air. In the evening when everyone is full of food, ice-cream and lollypops, there is the long slow drive home on roads crowded with returning cars.
Brighton
Brighton is one of the best-known south coast resorts and is very popular for day trip excursions. It is only fifty miles from London and can be reached by fast train in an hour. At the weekend the pebbled beaches are thronged with people sunbathing or picking their way to the water’s edge for a dip.
Bournemouth
Located a hundred miles from London, the beaches are wide and sandy. White houses line the cliff tops and narrow valleys, densely wooded with pine trees, reach down to the shore. The area near to the town of Torquay on the Devon coast is sometimes called Britains Riviera and the climate is so mild that palm trees grow along the sea front.
Blackpool
On the north-west coast, a popular resort for the people in the industrial north, Blackpool is a gay, noisy town, famous for its amusement facilities and the magical lights. At night people travel from miles around to see the extravaganza of lights decorating the sea front.
Southend
On the east coast at the mouth of the Thames, Southend is, like Brighton, one of the favorite resorts of Londoners. The pier here is the longest in Britain and offers a great variety of differing entertainments.
1. Why do people often have a long slow drive home on roads in summer?

For most of her life, Suanne Laqueur’s passion for storytelling was shown on the dance floor.
Although Laqueur began writing at a young age, dancing always took center stage. She majored in dance and theater at Alfred University and taught at her mother’s dance studio in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, for years. But when her mother was ready to retire and an opportunity opened for Laqueur to take over the studio, she realized she had no interest in taking on the business side of her art: “Owning a studio is a lot of work—financially, logistically. I love the teaching, the choreographing(编舞), the staging, but I didn’t want to own it.”
Yet Laqueur’s disinterest in running the studio changed when she became a self-published author. In the fall of 2013, she decided to pursue Self-publishing as a way of sharing her first completed novel with friends and family. During the process, she realized that following her true passion—telling stories through writing—made the business of the art worthwhile, and owning that business meant she could direct her writing career however she chose.
Starting with her second self-published novel she began investing more time in marketing and building her audience. Her investment paid off. Since 2014, Laqueur, now 49, has self-published six novels, which collectively have hundreds of ratings and reviews on Goodreads. Her 2016 novel An Exaltation of Larks stole the show at the 25th Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards, topping more than 2,300 entries to win the grand prize.
“You have to write the most truthful story to you, and I think self-publishing allows that freedom,’ she says. “If you work with traditional publishing, it’s more about what’s marketable, There are trade-offs, which everyone will tell you, but by self-publishing I have control of the book, I have control of the story, and I’m cool with that.”
4. From Paragraph 2，we can learn that Laqueur _______.
A. was a part-time writer when she was young
B. didn’t like teaching dancing in fact
C. wanted to own a publishing house
D. was interested in running her mother’s studio
5. What made Laqueur change her attitude to business?
A. Her mother’s persuasion. B. The desire to make money
C. Self-publishing her novels. D. Her own passion toward art.
6. Which of the following can best replace the phrase “stole the show” in Paragraph 4?
A. became a failure. B. was shown to people.
C. got all the attention. D. was accidentally stolen.
7. What can be inferred from what Laqueur’s said?
A. Self-publishing will replace traditional publishing.
B. She will never use traditional publishing.
C. Traditional publishing only focuses on the market.
D. She enjoys the way of self-publishing.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. D
【解析】

While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementary school students in Auckland, New Zealand. They became the world’s first kids to be “taught” by a digital teacher. Before you start imagining a human-like robot walking around the classroom, Will is just an avatar that appears on the student’s desktop, or smartphone screen, when ordered to come.
The autonomous animation platform has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system, allowing it to show human-like behavior. The digital teacher is assigned to teach Vector’s “Be sustainable with energy”— a free program for Auckland elementary schools.
Just like the humans it replaced, Will is able to instantly react to the students’ responses to the topic. Thanks to a webcam and microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have, but also picks up non-verbal cues. For instance, if a student smiles at Will, he responds by smiling back. This two-way interaction not only helps attract the students’ attention, but also allows the program’s developers to monitor their engagement, and make changes if needed.
Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like avatars could be a novel way to catch the attention of the next generation. He says, “I have a lot of hope in this technology as a means to deliver cost-effective, rich, educational experience in the future.”
The program, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. Ravishankar says, “ What was fascinating to me was the reaction of the children to Will. The way they look at the world is so creative and different, and Will really captured their attention.” However, regardless of how popular it becomes, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.
8. What was special for some elementary school students in Auckland?
A. A digital teacher taught them.
B. They first saw something digital.
C. This was the start of a new school year.
D. They could get close to smartphone screen.
9. What is the benefit of this two-way interaction?
A. It can smile back. B. It can use microphone.
C. It can talk any topic for free. D. It can change if necessary.
10. What’s Ravishankar’s attitude to Will’s replacing Human educators soon?
A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful.
C. Unclear. D. Disapproving.
11. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. New High-tech Contributes to Education
B. The World’s First Digital Teacher Appears in Classroom.
C. The World’s First Digital Teacher, a Help to Students
D. New Zealand Will Replace Teachers in Classrooms
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. B
【解析】

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段“While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementary school students in Auckland, New Zealand. They became the world’s first kids to be “taught” by a digital teacher”可知，从新学年开始，新西兰奥克兰的小学生将成为世界上第一批被机器人老师教的孩子。之后文章就此展开，由此可推断出he World’s First Digital Teacher Appears in Classroom最符合本文的标题。故选B。
【点睛】确定最佳标题的方法。在阅读文章时，要注意文章中反复出现的或强调的信息，寻找与文章大多数内容相关的信息。尤其是寻找文章的主题句。文章主要论题的关键是找到文章的主题句。主题句通常在文章的首段，也可能在文章的末段，在文章的某一段落，或分散在文章的各个段落中。如果每个段落都有主题句，那么把各段落的主题句的中心集中起来，即为全文的主题句。如第4小题，本文的中心句在首段 “文章第一段“While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementary school students in Auckland, New Zealand. They became the world’s first kids to be “taught” by a digital teacher”可知，从新学年开始，新西兰奥克兰的小学生将成为世界上第一批被机器人老师教的孩子。之后文章就此展开，由此可推断出he World’s First Digital Teacher Appears in Classroom最符合本文的标题。故选B。

According to a recent study, a new genetically modified rice can prevent infections of HIV, the virus responsible for the disease AIDS.
The study reports the newly-developed rice produces proteins that attach directly to the HIV virus. This process prevents the virus from mixing with human cells. The scientists say it can remove the effect of the virus and block its spreading.
The Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS reports that worldwide, nearly 37 million people were living with HIV in 2017. The organization says the largest number of those are in developing countries. Nearly two-thirds of HIV cases are in Africa. Now there is no cure for HIV/AIDS though there have been developments in oral drug treatments to slow the progression of the disease.
The new study predicts the rice-based method will lead to long-term use of the anti-HIV treatment across the developing world. Researchers said the “groundbreaking” discovery is “realistically the only way” that anti-HIV combination treatments can be produced at a cost low enough for the developing world.
They say the easiest and most cost-effective way to use the rice will be to make it into a cream to be put on the skin. The HIV-fighting proteins can then enter the body through the skin. People all over the world could grow the rice and make the cream themselves. This would prevent the cost and travel required for many patients to receive treatments and medicine.
The process of changing the genetic structure of food crops has been debated for some time. Critics of genetically engineered crops believe they can harm people. The scientific team says further testing is needed to ensure that the genetic engineering process does not produce any additional chemicals that could be dangerous to people.
12. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?
A. Stress the urgency of HIV treatments.
B. Provide some data about HIV.
C. Remind readers of HIV prevention.
D. Introduce HIV to the public.
13. In which way will the rice be used at the lowest cost?
A. By transforming it into proteins. B. By adding it to an oral drug.
C. By attaching it to the HIV virus. D. By processing it into a cream.
14. What can we infer about the genetic engineering process?
A. It can prevent infections of HIV. B. It can produce dangerous chemicals.
C. It still requires perfecting. D. It applies to the developed world.
15. From which is the text probably taken?
A. A biology textbook. B. A health magazine.
C. A social webpage. D. A first aid brochure.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【分析】

【12题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段的“nearly 37 million people were living with HIV in 2017. Now there is no cure for HIV/AIDS though there have been developments in oral drug treatments to slow the progression of the disease” 可知，“2017年全世界有近3700万人感染艾滋病毒。尽管口服药物治疗已经有了进展减缓了疾病的发展，但现在还没有治愈艾滋病毒/艾滋病的方法”。由此可推断出对于艾滋病的治疗迫在眉睫，非常紧迫。分析选项可知A项符合题意， 故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“They say the easiest and most cost-effective way to use the rice will be to make it into a cream to be put on the skin.”可知，最简单、最划算的使用方法是将大米制成面霜涂在皮肤上。“the most cost-effective”与“the lowest cost”是同义词，“make it into a cream”与“process it into a cream”是同义的。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“The scientific team says further testing is needed to ensure that the genetic engineering process does not produce any additional chemicals that could be dangerous to people.”可知，科学研究小组认为要进一步的测试，以确保基因工程过程不会产生任何可能对人类有害的额外化学物质。由此可推断这种基因工程的过程还需要进一步的完善。分析选项可知C符合题意，故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。文章主要叙述了根据最近的一项研究，一种新的转基因水稻可以预防艾滋病病毒的感染。因此与人类的健康有关，所以本文可能是出现在健康杂志上，故选B。
【点睛】推理判断试题属于高层次阅读理解题。这种题型包括判断题和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了得出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。如第4小题属于推理判断题。文章主要叙述了根据最近的一项研究，一种新的转基因水稻可以预防艾滋病病毒的感染。因此与人类的健康有关，所以本文可能是出现在健康杂志上，故选B。
推理题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，根据事实细节，作出一定判断和推论，推断合理信息。推理时要做到判断有据, 推论有理, 忠实原文。切忌用自己的观点代替作者的本意，切忌片面思考，得出片面结论。

【41题详解】

第四部分 写作（共两节 满分35分）
第一节 短文改错（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）
51.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在下面写出该加的词。
删除：把多余的词用斜线（﹨）划掉。
修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。
注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；
2.只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。
Have you ever had headaches during a test? Have you ever been too concerned about something that you even can’t sleep at night? If so, then you know that stress is. Too much stress can result in angry, depression and other related problems, which we need to take them seriously.
However, not all stress was harmful to you. Some kinds of stress can help you getting things done better, like when you are running towards the finishing line or when you are asking to deliver a speech to your class. Stress sometimes can push you to make full preparation for a test.
The best approach reducing stress is to have a balanced life. If you get enough sleep, eat proper, take more exercise and have enough fun time, you might feel less stressed.
【答案】1. too →so
2. that →what
3. angry →anger
4. 去掉them
5. was →is
6. getting →get
7. asking →asked
8. preparation→ preparations
9. approach 后面加to
10. proper →properly
【解析】
【分析】
本文为议论文。文章介绍了压力对人造成的后果， 以及如何减轻压力的方法。
【详解】1. 考查固定句型。句意：你是否曾经过于担心一些事情，以至于晚上睡不着觉？“so…that”为固定句型，意为“太…以至于”。因此把too 改为so。
2. 考查宾语从句。句意：如果是这样的话，你要知道压力是什么。此句为宾语从句，由that引导宾语从句时，从句不缺少成分。分析此句可知，此宾语从句中缺少表语，缺少表语一般用“what”。故把 that改为what。
3. 考查名词。句意：压力过大会导致愤怒、抑郁和其他相关问题，。分析句子可知，句中的angry作result in的宾语，作介词宾语要用名词形式，故把形容词angry 改为anger。
4. 考查非限制性定语从句。句意：压力过大会导致愤怒、抑郁和其他相关问题，这些问题我们需要认真对待。分析句子可知，which we need to take seriously是一个非限制性定语从句，修饰整个主句内容，关系词which在从句中作take的宾语，them多余，故删掉them。
5. 考查时态。句意：然而，并不是所有的压力都对你有害。根据语境可知，本句描述一个客观的事实，要用一般现在时，故把was改为is 。
6. 考查固定搭配。句意：有些压力可以帮助你把事情做得更好。help sb.do sth.为固定用法，意为“帮助某人做某事”，可知要把getting 改为get。
7.考查语境及非谓语。句意：或者要求你给班级发表演讲。分析句子可知，本中的主语you与动词ask二者被动关系，即你被要求，因此把 asking 改为asked。
8.考查固定搭配。句意：压力有时会促使你为考试做充分的准备。make preparations for为固定搭配，意为 “为作准备”。因此把preparation改为 preparations。
9. 考查固定搭配。句意：缓解压力的最好方法是有一个平衡的生活。 the approach to (doing) sth.为固定搭配，意为“的方法”，其中的to为介词，因此在approach 后面加to。
10. 考查比较级。句意：如果你有足够的睡眠，饮食合理，参加更多的运动，并且有足够的娱乐时间，你可能会感觉到压力少些。分析句子可知，句中的eat是动词，被proper修饰，修饰动词要用副词，故把proper 改为properly。

【解析】
【分析】
本文为应用文。你的美国朋友Brown来信询问中国改革开放以来取得的成就，请你写封邮件告知有关信息。内容包括收到来信感到很高兴和中国改革开放后取得的成就（生活、教育、住宅、交通等）。
【详解】本文为书信体。书信体作文一般分为三个部分。第一部分写信的原因。即你的美国朋友Brown来信询问中国改革开放以来取得的成就，你写封邮件告知有关信息。对此表示很高兴收到对方的来信。第二部分主要叙述中国改革开放以来取得的成就，主要是中国在生活、教育、住宅、交通等取得的成就。这一部分是重点。要用到的词组如：make much progress in（在取得成就）；receive basic education（接受教育）；living conditions（生活条件）。第三部分期待对方的回信。写作进尽量使句式灵活些，词汇要多变些，叙述时运用连词使文章过渡自然，有条理。
【点睛】本文内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯。文中运用了许多的较高级的词汇如：be delighted to; be interested in; share with; take pride in; have the right to; make much progress in; get sth done等。文中的句式较为灵活多变。定语从句As is known to all, China is a developing country, which has recent years.宾语从句 I’m delighted to know that you are extremely interested in the great achievements made in China和I’m know that you the great achievements made in China以及I am writing to you what I know about it。由as引导的状语从句 Our living conditions have greatly improved, as most families have moved into new houses。非谓语作状语making travel much convenient；having enough fresh water and food及非谓语作后置定语you the great achievements made in China等语法句式，显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外，文章思路清晰、层次分明，上下句转换自然，为文章增色添彩。
