【解析】

短文是通过一群已经很成功的年青人,在看望老教授的时候,谈论起对生活的压力,教授以喝咖啡选杯子的行动来解释对生活的认识。短文最后总结出:最快乐的人并不拥有最好的一切。他们只是充分利用一切。简单的生活,慷慨的爱,深切的关怀,善意的表达。

1句意:教授去了厨房,回来时带着一壶咖啡和各种杯子:有水晶的,玻璃的,塑料的;看起来不错,有些朴实;学生们发现有些很贵,有些很便宜。

第一段已经提到学生来拜访老教授,所以这里是再次提及,特指这位教授去了厨房,特指用定冠词the表示那位,不用不定冠词a/an,也不能使用零冠词,故选D

2句意:句意:教授去了厨房,回来时带着一壶咖啡和各种杯子:有水晶的,玻璃的,塑料的;看起来不错,有些朴实;学生们发现有些很贵,有些很便宜。

A. for为了;B. in……里面;C. with带有:D. at……。这里是表示教授回来,带着咖啡和杯子,表示伴随用介词with,故选C

3句意:他让学生们自便,喝点咖啡。

A. them(宾格)他们;B. themselves(反身代词)他们自己;C. yourself(反身代词)你自己;D. everyone每一个人。短语help oneself to…意为“自用……,请自便”,这里是让学生们自便,对应“他们”them的反身代词是themselves,故选B

4句意:我注意到,所有漂亮,昂贵的杯子都被占用了,而普通和便宜的杯子留了下来。

动词take意为“拿”,短语take up意为“占用”。选项A是其一般过去时的被动语态,选项B是其一般过去时形式。 动词mix意为“混合”,选项C是其一般过去时形式;选项D是其一般过去时的被动语态。这里是表示杯子“被占用”,需要使用被动语态,故选A

5句意:尽管你们只为自己争取最好是正常的,但这是你们的问题和压力的根源。

A. this这个;B. that那个;C. there那里;D. it它;做形式主语无实际意义。这里是结构it is + adj + for sb to do的结构,表示“做……对某人来说是……样的”,it在这里做形式主语,表示“你们只为自己争取最好是正常的”,故选D

6句意:而你们真正想要的是咖啡,而不是杯子,但你们所有人都想要最好的杯子。

A. who谁;B. how如何;C. what什么;D. that那个。这里what引导主语从句,意思是“所……的事/物”,不是“如何/谁”,what在这里相当于the thing(s) that…,that which those which…,what做主语从句的宾语部分。如果that引导主语从句,that为连词,不作成分,故选C

7句意:而你们真正想要的是咖啡,而不是杯子,但你们所有人都想要最好的杯子。

A. and并且;B. but但是;C. so所以;D. however然而。这里是表示转折,真正想要的和实际去获取的是不一样的,but是个并列连词,而however却是个副词,而且however位于分句之首时,通常用逗号;位于分句之中时,通常在其前、后各加一个逗号;位于分句之尾时,则必须在其前加逗号,这里是用but连接并列句,故选B

8句意:有时,仅注意杯子,我们就无法享受上帝所提供给我们的咖啡。

A. attention注意力;B. money金钱;C. advantage优势;D. record记录。短语pay attention to意为“注意……”,这里是表示“只注意杯子”,故选A

9句意:最幸福的人并不是拥有一切事物中最好的东西。

A. happy快乐的;B. happier更快乐的;C. happiest最快乐的;D. happily快乐地。这里是和best“最好的”呼应,表示最开心幸福的人并非拥有最好的,故选C

The winners of one of the greatest prizes in the world-the Nobel Prize--were known last October. According to Alfred Nobel1 the prize should go to people who2“the greatest benefit (利益) to humankind”already.

Fourteen greatest people,3 scientists, politicians and authors, won awards in the prize's six fields. Many of the winners have one thing in common: the4 they made dated back years ago. For example, John B. Goodenough, one of the three winners of last year's chemistry prize, is 97,5 person ever to win a Nobel Prize. He and the other two scientists won the prize for6 the lithium-ion batteries(锂离子电池)that we use today in mobile phones, laptops and electric cars. His technology first appeared in the 1970s7 50 years ago.

The reason it took so long for this prize to be announced(宣布) is that it takes time to see the real 8 of a new breakthrough (突破).“Every year, there are lots of claims(声称) of amazing discoveries, and quite a few of them turn out to be not as amazing as everyone thought," said Sven Lidin, former chairman of the Nobel Committee for Chemistry. “We want to make sure that we award those who open the first door into new9insight(见解). The whole process always takes a long time, so10 there is a delay(延迟)."

【题目】 Frank is a student. He likes playing with his phone very much. And he keeps the phone with him at all times. His dad thinks he is addicted (上瘾的) to his phone. But Frank doesn’t think so. They write to each other.

Dear Frank,

You’ve heard the warnings. It’s reported that fifty percent of the teenagers depend on their phones too much. I think you have this problem too. That’s why I think you should give up your phone. Not forever, just for a week. I’m worried that you are developing some bad habits. You keep your phone with you all the time – you even check the basketball scores at the dinner table. It’s not a good idea to use your phone while you are doing homework. You can’t put your heart into your homework at all. And you may make more mistakes when you can’t fully put your heart into it. There are many good reasons to take a break from your phone. Have a try! So what do you say? Are you ready to give up using your phone?

Love

Dad

Dear Dad,

I know you think I depend on my phone too much. But I’m just using technology to help my life to be better. My phone helps me in many ways.

Do you remember that time when the car broke down? I sent a message to tell you that I was going to be late. If I didn’t, you would be worried about me. My phone helps me with my homework too. I can look up anything in a second. It’s really hard to be successful today if you don’t have a phone. Social media, games, and apps might seem silly to you, but they help me to keep in touch with my friends. I promise to cut back my phone use, and I won’t use it at the dinner table anymore. But giving it up for a week would be a mistake and it wouldn’t change anything in the long term.

Love

Frank

【题目】阅读短文,并按要求完成文后小题。

A road is a bridge between two places. The Silk Road has been a bridge between East and West for more than 2,000 years.

But did you know that the Silk Road is not a single route? It is actually a series of trade and cultural transmission(传送)routes. It started to take shape during the Western Han Dynasty. The trade route started from the city of Xi'an in Shaanxi Province and ended in eastern Europe, near today’s Turkey and the Mediterranean Sea(地中海). The Silk Road was about 6,500 kilometers long. It went across one-fourth of the planet.

The Silk Road got its name because Chinese silk used to be carried along this road. In addition to silk, jade (玉), tea and iron also went west to Rome. From the West came glass, gems(宝石), and foods like carrots and sesame.

The Silk Road was very important to both China and the rest of the world. In addition trade, knowledge about science, arts and literature, as well as craftsmanship and technology, was shared across the Silk Road. In this way, languages and cultures developed and influenced each other.

Today, various historical sites along the Silk Road are popular travel destinations, such as the Terracotta Warriors(兵马俑)in Xi’an and Mogao Grottoes(莫高窟) in Dunhuang, Gansu .A new train line, the New Orient Express, is running from Beijing across the Silk Road.
