第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
A
We may be only three weeks into December, but artist Jonnie Hartman has been in the holiday spirit for months, designing and building the Grand America Holiday Window Stroll.
The goal with each window stroll is to create playful and uplifting displays (展示), according to Hartman. “I really try to do something lighthearted, something whimsical, that is, something everyone can connect with and maybe not see every day in the real world,” Hartman said.
She designs all of the window displays by hand, starting with pencil sketches, then illustrating the designs on her computer and sending parts of the drawings to be printed. From there, Hartman works with a team of five people to build the displays, creating, sewing and embellishing (润色) many elements by hand.
- 5 -
However, a challenge Hartman has faced over the years as she has designed the displays is making sure all of the measurements are right for elements to fit inside the windows.
“When I was in college, I was an art major, and I thought, ‘I don’t need math. I will never use it. I’m an artist,’ and guess what, it’s the most important thing that I use, ‘‘Hartman said. “If I don’t get that right, then the windows don’t fit, the pieces don’t come together and it just doesn’t work out.”
The holiday window stroll gives Hartman a unique opportunity to hear feedback from those who observe her creations, which is something she doesn’t always get to experience with her other artworks. She said it’s fun to hear people’s reactions as they go through the holiday window stroll.
“It just makes me happy that I can kind of set the tone for people’s holiday season and just maybe bring a smile to their face,” Hartman said. 21. What challenges Hartman most in designing the displays?
A. The pattern. B. The fit. C. The colour. D. The teamwork. 22. What does Hartman think about math now?
A. She values it very much. B. She still thinks it’s useless.
C. It is a piece of cake for her. D. It’s not suitable for her to learn. 23. Why is the holiday window stroll unique for Hartman? A. It just can make her happy. B. She has a chance to create by hand. C. It can help improve her other artworks. D. She can get some remarks from the viewers. 【答案】21. B 22. A 23. D 【解析】
本文是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了Jonnie Hartman设计的the Grand America Holiday Window Stroll的有关内容。 【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“However, a challenge Hartman has faced over the years as she has designed the displays is making sure all of the measurements are right for elements
- 6 -
to fit inside the windows.”可知她的设计遇到的最大的挑战是要确保设计的尺寸要适合窗户的大小。故B项正确。 【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句“Hartman said. “If I don’t get that right, then the windows don’t fit, the pieces don’t come together and it just doesn’t work out.””可知如果她没有计算好尺寸,就无法安装,他的设计就完全没有了作用。所以他非常重视这方面的数学知识。故A项正确。 【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第一句“The holiday window stroll gives Hartman a unique opportunity to hear feedback from those who observe her creations, which is something she doesn’t always get to experience with her other artworks.”可知通过“window stroll”,她可以得到人们的评论和反馈,这些评论和反馈是其他的艺术作品无法得到的。故D项正确。
B
My wife, daughter, and I moved into our home nine years ago and we spent a lot of time and energy in the yard to get it looking like the way it does today. We live on a corner, higher than street level, and the entire side of the yard is surrounded by a professionally built rock wall. The front of the house though is another story because instead of a wall along the sidewalk, the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish.
We did the best we could with what we had to work with and called this area our “rock garden”. Whenever we had leftover flowers or plants, Denise or I would stick them out front, just to bring some color to the area. We would do all of the yard work on our own, even the tiring weed-pulling.
Last summer I had reached the end of the rock garden and found a tiny little plant that I could not immediately identify, I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise claimed that she didn’t either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could figure out what it was.
Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the mystery plant, it appeared to be a sunflower with a tall skinny stalk(茎,杆) and only one head on it. I decided to
- 7 -
baby it along and weed around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The sunflower had not started where I saw the stalk begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.
That’s when I realized that if a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability of doing the same thing. Once our environment begins to see that we believe in ourselves like that little sunflower, we can attain the same nourishment(营养) and growth as well.
Stand tall like the sunflower and be proud of who and what you are and the environment will begin to support you. You will find a way to go under or around your big obstacle in order to reach your desires.
24. We can know from the first paragraph that _______. A. there is a wall along the sidewalk B. the author’s home is made of rock walls C. the author finished building his home hurriedly
D. the author’s family have lived in this home for nine years 25. The author found it unusual that_______.
A. the mystery plant turned out to be a sunflower B. the sunflower had a tall stalk and only one head
C. the sunflower grew under and around a big rock D. the sunflower had started where the stalk was seen
26. Which of the following best describes the sunflower? A. Brave and stubborn. B. Confident and persistent. C. Optimistic and modest. D. Mysterious and devoted. 27. What can be inferred from this passage? A. Human beings are able to remove obstacles. B. The universal truth made the sunflower survive. C. A big rock blocked out the sunlight of the sunflower. D. We can achieve success as long as we are self-confident. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. D

【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文,一颗向日葵的种子在一块大石头下面很深的地方,但它不畏艰难,突破重重阻力最终从下面长了出来迎接阳光。我们要像这株向日葵一样自信,就能清除障碍实现目标。 【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一句“My wife, daughter, and I moved into our home nine years ago and we spent a lot of time and energy in the yard to get it looking like the way it does today.”可知作者一家人九年前来到这里,花了很多时间和精力让这座房子成为现在的样子。故D项正确。 【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段后三句“As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The sunflower had not started where I saw the stalk begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.”可知我注意到向日葵的根部在大石头的下面,它从很深的地方长出来照射阳光。故C项正确。 【26题详解】
推理判断题。这一株向日葵的种子在一块大石头下面很深的地方,但它不畏艰难,突破重重阻力最终从下面长了出来迎接阳光,说明它非常有毅力也很有信心。与固执、谦虚和神秘无关。故B项正确, 【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Stand tall like the sunflower and be proud of who and what you are and the environment will begin to support you. You will find a way to go under or around your big obstacle in order to reach your desires.”可知作者建议我们要像这株向日葵一样自信,我们就能清除障碍实现目标。故D项正确。
C
Food blogs, celebrities, and nutritionists all advocate the benefits of eating organic (有机的) fruits and vegetables. But a new study published in Science Advances paints a more complex picture. While organic produce is likely slightly healthier to eat and, in some ways, more sustainable to grow, there are also downsides.
Organic fruits and vegetables typically cost more than conventional ones. To get
- 9 -
a certificate as organic, farmers must meet specific criteria, including growing produce without the use of genetic engineering and chemical inputs. Without these methods, the growing process typically requires more labor, time, and money, a cost that is passed down to consumers.
It’s true that in many ways, organic is more sustainable than conventional farming. But when it comes to environmental concerns such as greenhouse gas output and water loss, the comparison gets complex. Organic farms produce less greenhouse gas output per acre. However, because they are barred from using genetic engineering, pesticides (杀虫剂), and other methods that increase efficiency (效率), organic farms also produce an estimated 19% to 25% less yield than conventional farms. While there isn’t a whole lot research on the topic, the few studies that do exist suggest green gas output and water loss might actually be higher on organic farms, on a per unit basis, says study author Verena Seurfert.
In addition, while organic produce is likely more nutritious than conventional fruit and vegetables, there’s not a lot of evidence to support the claim that these often slight differences influence consumer health. The same is true for pesticide remainder. In developed countries, where pesticide use is tightly regulated, there’s no scientific consensus on how these often slight differences influence human health.
Still, Seurfert stresses that if you can afford to eat organic, you should do so. Organic farms provide safer work environments for workers, plus they support great biodiversity. The real takeaway from her study is not that organic is bad but that the practice needs more studies to increase yield without lowering sustainability.
But if you can’t afford to buy organic produce, don’t stress too much, particularly from a nutritional perspective.
28. What does the underlined word “downsides” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. Dangers. B. Drawbacks. C. Benefits. D. Differences.
29. Which key factor makes it hard to compare organic farming and conventional farming when it comes to environmental concerns?
A. The yield. B. The price. C. The water loss. D. The labor. 30. Which of the following will the author most probably agree with?
- 10 -
A. Farmers, work environment should be improved. B. Organic produce should be made more efficiently. C. It isn’t wise for consumers to buy organic products. D. Pesticide remainder does no harm to people’s health.
31. In the author’s opinion, why should we support organic produce? A. It’s environmentally friendly. B. It’s more nutritious.
C. It helps keep the variety of plants. D. It’s safer for consumers. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【分析】
本文是一篇议论文,虽然有机植物有很多好处,如环保和利于植物多样性,同时也有一些缺点和问题,文章具体说明了有机植物的缺点。 【28题详解】
猜测词义题。第一段告诉我们很多人都倡议人们食用有机植物,但是有机食物也有很多缺点。第一段最后一句中的信息词“while….”表示转折关系,说明有机植物也有不利之处。文章2-5段详细说明了这些缺点。该词意为“缺点,不利之处”,故B项正确。 【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段三四句“Organic farms produce less greenhouse gas output per acre. However, because they are barred from using genetic engineering, pesticides (杀虫剂), and other methods that increase efficiency (效率), organic farms also produce an estimated 19% to 25% less yield than conventional farms.”和文章倒数第二句“The real takeaway from her study is not that organic is bad but that the practice needs more studies to increase yield without lowering sustainability.”可知尽管有机植物产生的温室气体较少,但是有机植物的产量较低。要想和传统方法生产出同样多的食物,对环境的影响也很大。所以生产量是其中的一个重要的因素,故A项正确。 【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第四句“However, because they are barred from using genetic engineering, pesticides (杀虫剂), and other methods that increase efficiency (效率), organic farms also produce an estimated 19% to 25% less yield than conventional farms.”可知因为有机植物不用杀虫剂和化肥而产量较低,所以产量是有机植物的一个重要
- 11 -
问题。故B项正确。 【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第二句“Organic farms provide safer work environments for workers, plus they support great biodiversity.”可知有机农场可以提供更安全的工作环境,同时他们也支持生物多样性。说明有机植物可以保持生物的多样性,这也是我们支持有机植物的原因之一。故C项正确
【点睛】本文小题1考查了猜测词意题。第一段最后一句中的信息词“while….”表示转折关系,说明有机植物有好处,但也有不利之处。文章2-5段详细说明了这些缺点。所以该词意为“缺点,不利之处”,解题时可以利用“对比转折法”完成。
对比转折法:根据反义词或对比关系猜测词义。有时作者会用表示对比或转折的信号词连接意思相反的两个词或句子,这时就可根据反义词线索猜测词义。表示对比或反义的信号词/词组常见的有:(whether)or, unlike, but, yet, however, while, although, nevertheless, instead, rather than, in contrast, on the contrary, on the other hand,but, however, although , though,while(然而), rather than, instead of 等标志词。

Imagine you’re standing in line to buy an after-school snack at a store. You step up to the counter and the cashier scans your food. Next, you have to pay. But instead of scanning a QR code (二维码) with your smartphone, you just hold out your hand so the cashier can scan your fingerprint. Or, a camera scans your face, your eyes or even your ear.
Now, this type of technology might not be far away. As technology companies move away from the traditional password, biometric(生物识别的) security, which includes fingerprint, face and voice ID, is becoming increasingly popular.
In 2013, Apple introduced the iPhone 5s, one of the first smartphones with a fingerprint scanner. Since then, using one’s fingerprint to unlock a phone and make mobile payments has become commonplace, bringing convenience to our lives. And since last year, Samsung has featured eye-scanning technology in its top smartphones, while Apple’s new iPhone X can even scan a user’s face. But despite its popularity, experts warn that biometrics might not be as secure as we’d imagined. “Biometrics are ideally good, but in practice, not so much” said John Michener, a biometrics expert.
- 12 -
When introducing the new iPhone’s Face ID feature, Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president, said, “The chance that a random person in the population could look at your iPhone X and unlock it with their face is about one in a million.” But it’s already been done. In a video posted on community website Reddi, two brothers showed how they were each able to unlock the same iPhone X using their own face. And they aren’t even twins.
“We may expect too much from biometrics,” Anil Jain, a computer science professor at Michigan State University, told CBS News. “No security systems are perfect.”
Earlier this year, Jain found a way to trick biometric security. Using a printed copy of a thumbprint, she was able to unlock a dead person’s smartphone for police, according to tech website Splinter. “It’s good to see biometrics being used more,” Jain told CBS News, “because it adds another factors for security. But using multiple security measures is the best defense.”
32. What is the latest technology to unlock a smartphone according to the article? A. QR code scanning. B. Face scanning. C. Fingerprint scanning. D. Eye scanning.
33. What’s a major problem of the iPhone X’s Face ID system? A. It takes too long to unlock the phone. B. It often fails to recognize its owner’s face. C. Face data could be used for other purposes.
D. Different faces could be used to unlock the same phone. 34. What does Anil Jain think of biometric security? A. It’s as secure as traditional measures. B. It has caused much trouble for police.
C. It should be used with other security measures. D. It is perfect without any room for improvement. 35. The author wrote this article mainly to ______. A. describe the popularity of biometrics B. show how biometrics has changed our lives
- 13 -
C. point out various problems with biometrics D. discuss the security problems of biometrics 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. D 【解析】
本文是一篇议论文,近年来生物识别技术被广泛运用,如指纹、眼部扫描以及脸部扫描,人们认为这些系统非常安全,但实际情况并非如此,生物识别安全系统并不是完全安全,文章中列举了很多人对生物识别技术的观点。 【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“And since last year, Samsung has featured eye-scanning technology in its top smartphones, while Apple’s new iPhone X can even scan a user’s face.”可知苹果公司运用了脸部识别技术,这是最新的生物识别方法。故B项正确。 【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“In a video posted on community website Reddi, two brothers showed how they were each able to unlock the same iPhone X using their own face. And they aren’t even twins.”可知有两个兄弟用自己的脸揭开了对方的苹果手机,而且他们还不是双胞胎。说明脸部识别并不安全,故D项正确。 【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段We may expect too much from biometrics,” Anil Jain, a computer science professor at Michigan State University, told CBS News. “No security systems are perfect.”可知Anil Jain认为人们对生物识别期望太高了,没有一种安全系统是完美的。再根据最后两句“It’s good to see biometrics being used more,” Jain told CBS News, “because it adds another factors for security. But using multiple security measures is the best defense.” 可知Anil Jain认为我们应该使用多样化的安全防范保证安全。也就是说他认为我们也要使用其他的安全措施。故C项正确。 【35题详解】
主旨大意题。本文是一篇议论文,近年来生物识别技术被广泛运用,如指纹、眼部扫描以及脸部扫描,人们认为这些系统非常安全,但实际情况并非如此,生物识别安全系统并不是完全安全,文章中列举了很多人对生物识别技术的观点。故D项正确。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

Last week the electricity in my flat went out.___36___ My typical evening is spent watching TV and scrolling (滚动) through social media. Tonight this wasn’t possible. My roommate and I weren’t prepared with candles and matches. We just rely on electricity.
So for me it was an early night, ___37___ That night, losing our electricity felt like losing a basic necessity, as basic as running water. But really, electricity is a luxury that we’ve grown to take for granted. I use electricity all the time, even when it’s not really necessary.
___38___ And as I’m writing this, I have my lights on, even in the middle of the day when I don’t really need them.
___39___It contributes to global warming. It is harming our environment and we need to do what we can to stop it. Not only that, but if we continue to use the same large amount of energy, we will soon run out of it.
How would we survive in a world without electricity? Our daily lives go around it. We wouldn’t be able to function. ___40___So, shouldn’t we start preparing for it now? Cutting down on our use of electricity would save energy resources so that they could last for longer. And if everyone does it, we can make a big difference. A. Yet we know one day we will run out of it. B. Our over-use of electricity is a big problem. C. This left me in complete darkness the whole night.
D. It is a real problem to cut down on the use of electricity. E. I know for sure I could cut down on my use of electricity. F. I couldn’t help but think, do we rely too much on electricity? G. I turn on the TV in the background even when Tm not watching it. 【答案】36. C 37. F 38. G 39. B 40. A 【解析】
这是一篇议论文。文章叙述的是“电”在我们日常生活中所起到的作用以及号召我们要节约用电。作者希望如果每个人都节约用电,我们就能做出很大的改变。
- 15 -
【36题详解】
上一句提到Last week the electricity in my flat went out.(上一周我公寓停电了)。承接上文,C选项(这让我整晚都在黑暗中。)是上句的结果。该项中的in complete darkness对应上文中的went out。故选C。 【37题详解】
上句提到So for me it was an early night(所以对我来说,这是一个早睡的夜晚);再根据下句提到(那天晚上,停电就像失去了基本的必需品,就像自来水一样。),F项(我不得不想,我们是不是太依赖电力了?)承接上下文。故选F。 【38题详解】
根据下句提到as I’m writing this, I have my lights on, even in the middle of the day when I don’t really need them.(当我写这篇文章的时候,我的灯还亮着,即使是在我不需要它们的时候。),G项(即使我不看电视,我也会打开电视。)与下句都是并列的讲自己如何浪费电。该选项中的turn on the TV与下文中have my lights on吻合。故G选项正确。 【39题详解】
根据下文提到It contributes to global warming. It is harming our environment and we need to do what we can to stop it.(它导致了全球变暖。它正在损害我们的环境,我们需要尽我们所能阻止它。),B项(我们过度使用电力是一个大问题。)是下句的原因。该项中的Our over-use of electricity就是下文中it所指代的。故选B。 【40题详解】
根据上文提到How would we survive in a world without electricity? Our daily lives go around it. We wouldn’t be able to function.(在没有电的世界里,我们如何生存?我们的日常生活围绕着它。没有它我们就不能正常工作了。)再根据下文So, shouldn’t we start preparing for it now? Cutting down on our use of electricity would save energy resources so that they could last for longer.(所以我们现在就不能开始准备吗?减少我们的电力使用将节省能源,这样它们就能持续使用更长的时间),故A项Yet we know one day we will run out of it(但我们知道总有一天我们会耗尽它。)承上启下,该项中的Yet与上文表示转折;run out of it与下文的Cutting down构成一种因果关系。故A选项正确。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节,满分45分) 第一节 (共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)

【点睛】本文小题11可以根据前一句中“he yelled, “One more try!”父亲让她再试一次,于是她又尝试了一次,所以选择了again。这属于从上下文寻找信息词, 完形填空所选的文章都是具有逻辑关系、意义相联的语篇,而词语的重复出现、同义词和反义词的使用是重要的连句成篇的词汇纽带,因此,在行文中不可避免地会出现词语的复现、前后同义词、反义词相互照应等现象。
警示:考生在答题时,不要急于求成。而要充分利用上下文信息词,在继续阅读中寻找和斟酌答案。 充分利用文章的上下文和前后句,找到对选择有提示作用的词或句。这些词有时可能是同义词或反义词。 例如: Mrs. O‘Neill asked _
_ questions and she didn’t scold us either. A. no B. certain C. many D. more
解析:and是一个并列连词;either为副词,用在否定句或否定词后加强语势,由此可以确定所填的词也应是一个否定意义的词,因此答案是A。

- 22 -
70. herself 71. ranking 72. opportunities 73. such 74. upon 75. whose 【解析】 【61题详解】
考查比较级。句意:我很钦佩我的妹妹,当面对困难的时候,她总是比我更乐观。根据句中than可知应该使用比较级形式,所以要填more optimistic。 【62题详解】
考查时态。句意:当涉及到满意的公司的时候,近七年以来商科学生一直把中国银行当成最高的选择。句中时间状语for seven years通常要和现在完成时连用,所以要填have named。 【63题详解】
考查副词。句意:只有那些冒险走得更远的人才可能找到一个人的极限。副词在句中通常作状语修饰形容词、副词、动词或整个句子,本句中副词possibly修饰谓语部分,所以要填possibly。 【64题详解】
考查语态。句意:看到人们因为被陌生人偶尔踩到脚了而当众吵架,我们感觉很尴尬。主语they与动词短语step on构成被动关系,要用过去分词构成被动语态,所以要填are stepped 或者have been stepped。 【65题详解】
考查形容词。句意:脸上带着困惑的表情,我走向这位陌生人并请他重复他的请求。形容词puzzled意为“感到困惑的”,通常修饰人或与人有关的事物,句中look意为“表情”是与人有关的事物,所以要填puzzled修饰look。 【66题详解】
考查形容词。句意:即使英语不再是官方语言,在欧盟里英语也许仍然是一个工作语言。形容词official官方的,正式的,该词在句中做定语修饰名词language,所以要填official。 【67题详解】
考查时态。句意:几天以后我们有机会在附近一个宁静的湖泊里划我们的木船,我们都穿着救生衣。根据前句谓语动词“had”可知本句叙述过去发生的事情,要用一般过去时,所以要
- 23 -
填wore。 【68题详解】
考查时态。句意:这是Kelly第一次在尼泊尔教书,并且她决定还要再次去那里。固定句式:It/That is/was +the+序数词+time that sb+现在完成时/过去完成时;意为:这是某人第几次做某事的时候了。如果前面用is,后面要使用现在完成时;如果前面是was,后面要用过去完成时。本句中用了was,所以后句中要填过去完成时had taught。 【69题详解】
考查时态语态。句义:那次飓风两年以后,现在街道上很干净,很多房子都已经被重建了。根据句意可知重建房子是一个已经完成的事情,要用现在完成时;而且many houses与动词rebuild构成被动关系,所以要填现在完成时的被动语态have been rebuilt。 【70题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:Lin Qiaozhi致力于中国女性和儿童的医疗事业。动词短语devote oneself to致力于,该短语在句中做谓语,反身代词herself充当devote的宾语,所以要填herself。 【71题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中国正在运营的高铁总里程超过了7千5百公里,排名世界第一。本句主语China’s operating high-speed railway与动词rank构成主动关系,要用现在分词做状语,所以要填ranking。 【72题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意:尽管性别差异已经被缩小了,但是男性仍然获得更多的机会。名词opportunity意为“机会”,是一个可数名词,前面有more修饰,说明要填复数形式,所以要填opportunities。 【73题详解】
考查固定句式。句意:天气如此好以至于我们决定去野餐。固定句式:such …that…如此…以至于…;such的后面要接名词或名词短语,句中fine weather恰好是名词短语,所以要填such。 【74题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:很久以前,一个戴着小红帽的女孩穿过森林。固定短语once upon a time意为“很久以前”,在句中做时间状语,通常与过去时连用,所以要填upon。 【75题详解】
- 24 -
考查定语从句。句意:因为放假校园商店关门了,校园商店的顾客主要是学生。本题定语从句的先行词是the school shop,关系代词whose引导定语从句,并在句中作定语修饰customers,所以要填whose。 第四部分 写作(共两节,满分35分)

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Susan,
How are you? I attended an Anti-addition Campaign last weekend, which aimed at raising our awareness of the negative impact of addition to the internet.
The organizers went to extreme lengths to ensure that the campaign was accessible and interesting. In the beginning, they successfully drew everybody’s attention with a humorous short play, presenting an embarrassing day of a phubber who failed to communicate with people in real life. What impressed me most was the debate where knowledgeable schoolmates voiced their opinions on whether we should allow smart phones on campus. The campaign came to an end with a movie showing real cases of online addition, which left me deep in thought.
To stay away from online addition, I think it is necessary to cut the use of mobile devices. A healthy lifestyle may also help to make good use of the internet. What
