1.—I feel so nervous about the National English Speech Competition tomorrow.
— .
A. I really envy you B. Glad to hear that
C. Sounds great D. Take it easy
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查情景交际。句意：—对于明天的全国英语演讲比赛我感到非常紧张。—不要紧张。I really envy
you 我真的很嫉妒你；B.Glad to hear that 听到这个消息很高兴；C. Sounds great 听起来太好了。D. take it easy
放松一下，别紧张。根据题干中的 nervous(紧张)可推知答案为 A 。故选 A 项。
2.The disappearance of dinosaurs is not necessarily caused by astronomical incidents. But _______ explanations are
hard to find.
A. alternative B. aggressive
C. ambiguous D. apparent
【答案】A
【解析】【详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：恐龙的消失并不一定是由天文事件引起的。但是很难找到可供选择
的解释。A. alternative 供选择的；B. aggressive 好斗的，有进取心的；C. ambiguous 模糊不清的；D. apparent
显然的。根据 but 可知，与前文意思相反，所以可供选择的解释很少。故选 A。
3.It was when I got back to my apartment ________ I first came across my new neighbors.
A. who B. where
C. which D. that
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查强调句型。句意：当我回到我的公寓的时候，我首先遇见了我的新邻居。根据关键词 It was 开
头，可能会与 that 构成强调句型，但需要验证，本句中去掉 It was 和 that，句子 When I got back to my apartment
I first came across my new neighbors 完整，所以确定是强调句型。故选 D。
【点睛】判断一句话是否是强调句的一个方法是去掉强调结构，如果这句话还能够成立就是强调句，例如
这道题，去掉强调结构是：when I got back to my apartment ______ I first came across my new neighbors..这句话
是成立的，所以是强调句。除了强调句的陈述句，还需要掌握强调句的一般疑问句和特殊疑问词的结构，
还有强调句应用于名词性从句的语序问题。
4.【2018·江苏】Developing the Yangtze River Economic Belt is a systematic project which _______ a clear road
map and timetable.

A. calls for 需要；B. calls on 号召；C. calls off 取消；D. calls up 使想起。故选 A。
点睛：本题考查动词短语辨析。分析全句句意，再联系所学短语就不难选出正确答案。同学平时学习过程
中要多注意词汇和短语 积累，尤其是含义比较多的词汇和短语。

为纪念，为庆祝。故选 A。
点睛：本题侧重考查在特定的语境中辨析介词短语的能力。考生平时在学习中多积累之外还需要充分利用
特定语境理解词义，还应注意多辨析意思相近的介词短语，重点关注它们用法上的区别。

A. at first B. after all
C. above all D. at random

去了。A. at first 起初；B. after all 毕竟，终究。C. above all 首先；D. at random 随便地。根据前面的转折连词
可知，与前面情况相反，故选 B。
点睛：本题侧重考查在特定的语境中辨析短语的能力。对于短语而言，没有捷径可言，只有老老实实的记
忆。考生除了要充分利用特定语境理解词义，还需要重点关注他们用法上的区别。

A. who B. which C. whose D. that
【答案】C

系代词，指人；B. which 关系代词，指物；C. whose 关系代词；D. that 关系代词。分析句子结构可知，此处
是定语从句关系词，先行词 workshop 在从句中充当定语，应用关系代词 whose，故选 C 项。
【点睛】本题考查定语从句关系词。确定定语从句关系词一般分为三步：找出先行词；分析先行词在从句
中充当什么成分；考虑特殊情况。以本题为例：
找出先行词：workshop
分析先行词在从句中充当什么成分：先行词 workshop 在从句_______windows were broken 中充当 Windows
的定语，故用关系代词 whose。
考虑特殊情况：无
故用 whose，选 C 项。

A. being carried out B. carrying out
C. carried out D. to carry out【答案】C

当主从句的主语一致的情况，可以省略从句的主语和 be 动词，If carried out=if proper amounts of exercise are
carried out。选 C。
【点睛】如果主句的主语和从句的主语一致，且状语从句的谓语动词中有 be 动词，从句的主语连同 be 可
一起省略，该类状语从句多为时间、地点、条件、方式或让步等，连词为 when, while, though, if, unless,
although, as if 等，后面通常接分词、不定式、形容词、名词等。
9.There’s no doubt ______ hard work is the key to _____ your result.
A. whether; improving B. that; improving
C. whether; improve D. that; improve
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查同位从句和动名词。句意：毫无疑问，努力工作是提高成绩的关键。There’s no doubt that---“毫
无疑问” 为同位语从句； the key to doing sth.“做某事的关键”。to 为介词后接动名词。故选 B。
10.— How does Jane put on so much weight?
— Large quantities of fat ____ recently.
A. are consumed B. is being consumed C. has been consumed D. have been consumed
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意：——Jane 怎么长这么胖？——最近吃了大量富含脂肪的食物。由
recently 判断为现在完成时，主语 fat 和 consume 之间是被动关系，故用现在完成时的被动语态，“large
quantities of + 名词” 作主语时谓语动词用复数形式，故用 have been consumed。故选 D 项。
【点睛】本题考查关于 quantity 短语的主谓一致。quantity 一般构成连个短语 a quantity of 和 quantities of，
它们的用法如下：
quantities of 无论修饰可数还是不可数名词、谓语动词都用复数。
例如:
Quantities of food (nuts) were on the table. 桌子上有许多食品(坚果)。
a quantity of+可数名词复数、谓语动词用复数;+不可数名词、谓语动词用单数。即修饰可数或不可数名词均
可,作主语时采取就近一致的原则,其谓语动词通常与短语中 of 后面的名词的数保持一致。例如:
A large quantity of beer was sold out. 大量的啤酒被售出。
A large quantity of blouses were on sale. 大量罩衫有售。
11.A dog’s eating habit requires regular training before it is ________ established.
A. properly B. widely
C. originally D. temporarily

【解析】
【详解】考查副词辨析。句意：在狗的饮食习惯被正确地建立之前，需要定期的训练。A. properly 正确地；
B. widely 广泛地；C. originally 最初；D. temporarily 临时地。狗的饮食习惯不可能是被“广泛地、最初地、
临时地”建立，故选 A。
12.________ who are able to work through the struggle are the ________ who are going to be successful.
A. Someone; one B. Anyone; one
C. He; ones D. Those; ones
【答案】D
【解析】
考查定语从句和代词。句意：那些努力工作的人是那些能够成功的人。第一空根据后面定语从句中的系动
词 are 判断先行词是复数，故只能用 those；第二空同样根据后面定语从句中的系动词 are 判断先行词是复数，
故选 D。
13.My sister met him at the cinema yesterday afternoon, so he _________ your lecture.
A. couldn't have attended B. needn't have attended
C. mustn't have attended D. shouldn't have attended
【答案】A

A. couldn't have attended 不可能做某事；B. needn't have attended 本不必做某事；C. mustn't have attended 无此
表达；D. shouldn't have attended 本不应该做某事。结合句意可知，此处考查对过去情况的否定推测，其结构
为 can't/couldn't have done 不可能做某事，故选 A 项。
14._____ you may have, you should gather your courage to face the challenge.
A. However a serious problem B. What a serious problem
C. However serious a problem D. What serious a problem【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查让步状语从句。句意：无论你遇到多么严重的问题，你都应该鼓足勇气面对挑战。根据句意
可知，此处是让步状语从句。特殊疑问词+ever/no matter +特殊疑问词，可以引导让步状语从句，又因为
however 引导让步状语从句时，其后应接形容词或副词，故 However serious a problem 符合要求。故选 C 项。
15.—Let’s take a coffee break.
—________ We’ve been working for hours.
A. Why bother? B. What for? C. You got me there. D. You said it.
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查情景对话。——句意：我们休息一下喝杯咖啡吧。——你算说对了。我们已经工作好几个小
时了。根据下文说“我们已经工作好几个小时了”，上文应该是赞同这个建议。A. Why bother? 没有必要；
B. What for? 为什么；C. You got me there. 你把我搞糊涂了；D. You said it.你算说对了。故选 D 符合语境。

【名师点睛】
解答完形填空 技巧：
1、可以根据词语之间的习惯搭配，或固定搭配。
2、结合生活，利用生活常识，去做恰当的选择。
3、运用上下文对照。解完形填空题时，单独看一句话是找不到正确答案的，需要读下句或者若干句才能明
白。所谓上下对照，即在上文和下文中找到与正确答案相同的关键词。因此，在做题时要边读边大脑中储
存上下文信息的能力，捕捉关键词。例如第 2 题，根据下文“I carefully________ the old color on their nails. As
I applied new color...”可知，作者是帮助老人美甲，除去旧颜色，涂上新颜色。从而选择出正确答案。
4、词语或词义复现。词汇复现往往会使语篇中的句子相互衔接得更紧密，利用词语的复现，对解题很有帮
助。

Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered
cousins.
People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions(排放) vehicles”, but people in California seem to be
clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants mostly use fire to make it. Aside from the new folks who
have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators(发电机). Generators are fueled by
something--usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and
geothermal
(地热) plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.
In other words, those "zero-emissions" cars are likely coal-burning cars. It’s just because the coal is burned
somewhere else, it looks clean. It is not. It's as if the California Greens are covering their eyes—“If I can't see it, it's
not happening.” Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But
when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy,
mostly in the form of wasted heat—at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.
A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you
nearly as far—so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes
or geothermal, or hydro or wind or solar, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and
economic reasons, we don't use much of those energy sources.
In addition, electric cars' batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. And
finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it's a power plant, though, all the
junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer
when all the garbage is in one spot.

本文是一篇科普类阅读。电动车真的没有污染吗？实际上并不是这样的，电动车比现在的汽油车可能会导
致更多的污染，因为它所使用的电主要是靠燃烧煤炭来产生的。
【41 题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第二段 People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions(排放) vehicles”, but people
in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from.说明，加利福尼亚的人喜欢谈论零排放的汽
车，但是加利福尼亚的人似乎对电的来源不清楚。再根据本段最后一句 There are a few wind farms and
geothermal(地热) plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.可知，该词应该指“不
清楚，不理解电动车所需要的电主要来自于火力发电”。故选B。
【42 题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一句 Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty
than their gasoline-powered cousins.说明，电动车一点也不环保，有可能更脏。故选 A。
【43 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中 A gallon of gas may drive your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that
gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far 说明，一加仑汽油可能让你的汽车跑 25 英里，但用一加仑汽油发出来
的电则不能让你的电动汽车跑 25 英里，也就是不超过 25 英里，故选 D。【44 题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段 But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far—
so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-powered ones.可知，电动车消耗的能源比汽油车要多。故选 B。
【45 题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容可知，电动车所需要的电，是需要通过燃烧煤炭等自然资源的，所以电
动车并不如人们所认为的那样清洁无污染。故选 D。
C
In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastest growing U.S. minority. As their children began
moving up through the nation schools，it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their
achievements are reflected in the nation’s best universities，where mathematics，science and engineering
departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly
explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their education abroad arrived in the U.S. with a solid
grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good
job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they
will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like
engineering than with an art degree.
Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their
children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental
attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps.
Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that makes success，such as ideals that stress
family values and emphasize education.
Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial
image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social isolation(隔
离). Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.
46. With making outstanding achievements at college，Asian- American students ________.
A. feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English
B. are afraid that their academic successes are not recognized
C. still worry about unfair treatment in society for their origin
D. generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents
47. What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans?
A. A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian culture.B. Hard work and intelligence.
C. Parents’ help and a limited knowledge of English.
D. Asian culture and the American educational system.
48. Few Asian American students major in human sciences mainly because ________.
A. their English is not good enough
B. they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgment in these areas
C. there is a wide difference between Asian and Western cultures
D. they know little about American culture and society
49. Why do “both explanations” (Para.3) worry Asian Americans?
A. They are afraid that they would again be separated from American society.
B. People will think that Asian students rely on their parents for success.
C. Asian Americans will be a threat to other minorities.
D. Americans fear the academic achievements made by Asian Americans.
50. Before 1952 in America，________.
A. Asian Americans could not be academically successful
B. there were few immigrants from East and Southeast Asia
C. immigrants were not equally treated by Asian Americans
D. immigrants from East and Southeast Asia were looked down upon
【答案】46. C 47. D 48. B 49. A 50. D
【解析】

It's amazing how we grow from careless kids to responsible teens. What happens in the course that makes us
responsible now? It’s the seed that we sow in the beginning which grows and becomes a huge tree.
As a kid, I used to read a lot of story books. In one particular book, I read a story of a bird. It described a male
bird which takes a lot of pain to build a nest and the female bird takes shelter in it and nourishes the baby. When the
bird learns to fly, the whole family flies off to a different place leaving behind the beautiful nest for other birds to
grow their family in it. It made me wonder. How could they so easily sacrifice their house built with so much effort?
One night, when I was deep in sleep, I got this particular dream. I was walking miles on the endless road, totally
isolated but lined with beautiful trees on either side. I happened to stop upon seeing something. It was a wonderful house with every corner touched artistically and lovingly. I don’t know why I felt that it was done lovingly. Maybe
because, things turn out to be beautiful only when we put our love into it - just like the food prepared by mom which
tastes more delicious with her love.
I explored the house only to fall more in love with it. There was a sloping roof which matched with the greenery
around; the large central open courtyard reminded me of the activities that might have taken place there which felt
lively even now when it is completely deserted. The small water body that kept the house cool added to the beauty of
the house - of course, it was all dried up now. It's really wonderful how such things add life to the spaces which
otherwise just become structures. Such liveliness and happening turns the house into a home.
When I woke up from the dream, I was clear about everything. I realized where that mile of walk was intending
me to lead. I realized what message my dream wanted to convey me. And years later, when finally my turn of
choosing my destination came, I simply closed my eyes. When I opened my eyes, I was sure what to do. I decided to
choose the road - less traveled. Yes, I took up architecture as my profession because this is what I am destined to do.
I wanted to do the same thing that the male bird in the story did, to take pain in building a beautiful house and let
others stay in it.
51. When the writer read the story of the bird, he probably felt _______.
A. upset B. confused
C. amazed D. amused
52. To the writer, ''the seed that we sow in the beginning'' (Paragraph 1) is _______.
A. the story of the bird B. his mother's food

A. mom cooks with her love B. we are so familiar with mom's food
C. moms are better cooks than fathers D. mom is experienced in cooking
54. In the writer's dream, what part of the house attracted him most?
A. The greenery surrounding the house.
B. The body of water that keeps the house cool.
C. The liveliness he sensed around the house.
D. The fact that the house was very large.
55. The above passage is mainly about _______.
A. how the writer finally becomes an honest citizen
B. where the true meaning of responsibility liesC. what we need to do when we are seeking fortune
D. why the writer takes up architecture as his career
【答案】51. B 52. A 53. A 54. C 55. D

因为这是我命中注定要做的事)可知，本文主要讲述作者为什么选择建筑作为他的职业。D. why the writer
takes up architecture as his career(为什么作者选择建筑作为他的职业)符合以上说法，故选 D 项。

Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight while the French, who consume rich food, continue to
stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight.
Researchers conclude that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when
their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.
According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style.
They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be
squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are
actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans
drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily,
walking to small shops and farmers' markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as
high-quality meats for each meal.
After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women. Don’t Get Fat, decided to write
about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay
slim and rarely goes to the gym.
In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating
habits. Today the rate of obesity among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the
young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has been growing.
56. What does the research by Cornell University show? (No more than 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
57. What do the French think of eating according to Dr. Joseph Mercola? (No more than 15 words)____________________________________________________________________________
58. Why do you think Mireille Guiliano can stay thin though she rarely goes to the gym? (No more than 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
59. What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph? (No more than 15 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
60. Do you think enjoying food has close connection with getting fat? Give your reasons. (No more than 25 words)
____________________________________________________________________________
【答案】56. How life style and decisions about eating may affect weight.
57. They think of / see eating as an important part of their life style.
58. Because she knows when to stop during a meal. / She can control the amount of food she eats. / She knows the
importance of stopping when she's full.
59. The rate/percentage of being fat among French children has been growing
60. I don't think so, because you can enjoy food and avoid getting fat at the same time if you know when to stop
during a meal.
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了为什么美国人很难控制自己的体重，而吃油腻食物的法国人却能保持苗条呢?
的原因。
【56 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的 Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about
eating may affect weight.可知，一个由美国康奈大学的研究表明，生活方式和饮食决定可能会影响体重。故
回答为 How life style and decisions about eating may affect weight.
【57 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的 According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an
important part of their life style.可知，健康专家 Dr. Joseph Mercola 说，法国人把吃看作他们生活中的重要部分。
故回答为 They think of / see eating as an important part of their life style.
【58 题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的 After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women.
Don’t Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid
food.(《法国女人》的作者 Mireille Guiliano 在访问美国后说：《不要发胖》决定写关于何时停止进食的重要
性，而非建议如何避免进食)可推测，Mireille Guiliano 很少去健身房，但又没有长胖的原因是她知道何时应
.该停止进食。故回答为 Because she knows when to stop during a meal. / She can control the amount of food she
eats. / She knows the importance of stopping when she's full.
【59 题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段的 However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older
traditions, the obesity rate among French children has been growing.可知，然而，随着美国快餐逐渐被接受，法
国年轻人拒绝传统食物。所以这些导致了 the obesity rate among French children has been growing.“法国儿童
的肥胖率也在上升”。所以猜测划线部分的意思是“法国年轻一代的肥胖率一直在增长”。故回答为The
rate/percentage of being fat among French children has been growing.
【60 题详解】
开放题型。先表明自己的观点，然后陈述原因。例如：I don't think so, because you can enjoy food and avoid
getting fat at the same time if you know when to stop during a meal.故回答为 I don't think so, because you can enjoy
food and avoid getting fat at the same time if you know when to stop during a meal.

Thank you!【答案】Dear friends,
How time flies! It is more than two months since our English Club was set up by several classmates and me. On
behalf of my classmates, I’d like to talk about something about our club.
So far we have conducted a variety of activities on English learning, such as watching English films, reading
classic English novels, holding a Christmas party and so on. Every member took an active part in the activities. Many
members said the activities benefited them a lot. Not only did they improve their English, but also they brought them
much fun. Personally, I think it is really a good idea to set up the club.
It is hoped that our club is growing stronger and more mature. And welcome more classmates to the club.
That’s all Thank you.
