English was once 1 (speak) only by people in a part of Britain. But during the twentieth century, it became a world language-a language used by speakers of many different languages 2 (communicate) with each other. 3 it is called a “world language”, more than five billion people- most of people on the earth-do not speak English as either their first 4 second language. However, hundreds of millions of people use it, and hundreds of millions are learning it. Because so many people learn and use English, it may be hard to imagine that one day English may not be the world’s 5 (lead) language. Remember that there were other important languages in the past which lost their 6 (important) or even disappeared. In Europe, Latin was used as a common language for many centuries before people stopped using it. French was once a language 7 (know) by all well-educated people, and was 8 (popular) than English. But since the nineteenth century, English 9 (become) more popular than French. Today, many people 10 want to learn a new language are learning Chinese, Spanish or Arabic. It may be that, one day, instead of English, another language will be used across the world.

【答案】

1spoken

2to communicate

3Although/Though/While

4or

5leading

6importance

7known

8more popular

9has become

10who/that

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了尽管英语被称为“世界语言”,但超过50亿人——地球上的大多数人不会把英语作为第一语言或第二语言。文章分析了过去一些重要的语言,并分析也许有一天,世界各地会用另一种语言来代替英语。

1考查动词时态语态。本句中主语与谓语动词构成被动关系,且根据上文English was once可知为一般过去时的被动。故填spoken

2考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知communicate在句中作非谓语动词,且为动词不定式作目的状语。故填to communicate

3考查连接词。句意:尽管英语被称为“世界语言”,但超过50亿人——地球上的大多数人不会把英语作为第一语言或第二语言。本句为让步状语从句,表示“尽管”应用although/though/while引导,句首字母要大写。故填Although/Though/While

4考查固定短语。根据短语either…or…表示“要么……要么……”。故填or

5考查形容词。修饰后文名词language应用形容词leading,表示“主流的”。故填leading

6考查名词。根据上文their为形容词性物主代词修饰名词importance,表示“重要性”。故填importance

7考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知know在句中作非谓语动词,与逻辑主语language构成被动关系,故用过去分词。故填known

8考查比较级。句意:法语曾经是所有受过良好教育的人都知道的语言,而且比英语更受欢迎。结合句意可知表示“更受欢迎”应用比较级形式。故填more popular

9考查动词时态。根据上文since the nineteenth century可知应用现在完成时,且主语为English,助动词用has。故填has become

10考查定语从句。句意:今天,许多想学一门新语言的人正在学习汉语、西班牙语或阿拉伯语。本句为定语从句修饰先行词people,且先行词在从句中做主语,指人应用关系代词whothat。故填who/that

定语从句中的关系词选择,可考虑以下几点:

1、看清楚先行词的意义,就是理清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点、原因。指物时不能用whowhom,指人时通常不用which等等。

2、看清楚关系词的句法功能,就是理清关系词是担任什么句子成分,是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等等。作定语通常用whose,有时也用which。作状语要用when, where, why

3、看清楚定语从句的种类,就是理清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句。thatwhy通常不引导非限制性定语从句。

4、看清楚文体,就是理清是正式文体,还是非正式文体。是书面语体还是口语体。

如第十小题,句意:今天,许多想学一门新语言的人正在学习汉语、西班牙语或阿拉伯语。本句为定语从句修饰先行词people,且先行词在从句中做主语,指人应用关系代词whothat。故填who/that

【题目】Three simple keys to success

Being successful means different things to different people. 1 My point is, the specifics involved in finding success can vary greatly, depending on your goal.

There are three basic components necessary for finding success, regardless of the specifics of your pursuit. And, since the desire for ownership is the driving force behind acquisition, I’ll use the word OWN as my simple three-item method for success.

1.O-Opportunity: one of the most important components in finding success is being able to identify opportunity. It is to success what wind is to sailing. 2 Identifying opportunity is the first step; awareness sets your sails for success while your motivation provides the wind.

2.W-Wisdom: By definition, wisdom is the accurate application of knowledge. 3 It requires clear understanding, great insight and good judgment. Once opportunity is identified, you must use all your inner resources to seize it and make the most of it. 4 Finding success when opportunity presents itself often means reaching out for help in areas where you have weakness.

3.N-Never give up: This might possibly be the most important for success. The key is to first break your goal down into workable parts so you don’t feel pressured, and then to work each part at ease with both enthusiasm and purpose. It takes a lot of time, effort and determination to succeed. 5

A.Being successful demands doing well.

B.But wisdom involves more than just knowing.

C.You simply can’t have one without the other.

D.Having this attitude keeps you moving in face of trouble and becomes the driving force.

E.Besides, wisdom means knowing your limitations.

F.You’ll finally succeed if you follow these steps.

G.The road to success is being largely determined by what result you want to achieve.

【题目】 Cala didn’t like us. Any of us. We didn’t do anything to offend her and she didn’t know us but that didn’t matter; she still didn’t like us.

As new teachers in the Emirati school, we Westerners greeted her every day. She ignored us. She came into our rooms and bypassed us as she shook hands with all the non-Westerners. Whenever we saw her, she avoided eye contact with us. Eventually, we stopped trying to befriend her.

Then came the day. We all gathered in the meeting room. When you gave your gift, you said a few kind words about your secret friend and passed the gift to her. What could I say? Everyone knew she didn’t like the Westerners. She taught music in the school so I said “My secret friend is someone who brings music to our ears every day.” She came forward with a huge warm smile. She hugged me and kissed me on both cheeks and accepted my gift.

【题目】 On Hoxton Street in East London there is a very special children’s writing and mentoring(辅导) center called the Ministry of Stories, which is fronted by its shop , Hoxton Street Monster(怪兽) Supplies, where you can expect to find monster food. The store raises funds for this very special program that fires children’s imagination.

The youth aged 8 to 18 enter the Ministry, through a secret door that is designed to open a world of opportunity by encouraging a love for writing. The organization believes that, “Writing increases self-respect, improves communication and can change lives.” That’s because writing allows children’s voices to be heard.

This year, the workshop is celebrating 10 years of helping children discover a love for writing through creative programs. Founded by Lucy Macnab, Ben Payne and best-selling author Nick Hornby, the organization works with around 1,000 children per year participating in schools, and community programs across Hackney, Islington, and Tower Hamlets. It now has over 400 volunteers and runs its program free of charge for the youth of the areas.

“Through a range of creative writing programs, and one-to-one mentoring, we aim to help young people find their own qualities that can be developed,” Macnab told The Telegraph. “We build confidence, self-respect, and communication skills in both workshops for schools and out of school writing clubs.”

One 10-year participant, Nmeso, said that the weekly after-school club he attends at the Ministry has helped him grow his imagination and improve his academic performance. In fact, he was able to move up a grade in school. What’s even more remarkable is that Nmeso has had a story he wrote published ── along with other writers in the program ──titled Andre Has a Hard Time .This is Nmeso’s success story.

【题目】 Brook wanted a dollhouse and some sugar cookies. So the 6-year-old asked Alexa to get them. Alex, a vice-activated home assistant powered "by artificial intelligence"(Al), made Brooke's wishes come true. A few days later, much to her parents' surprise, four pounds of cookies and a $170 dollhouse showed up. And that's not the end of the story. When a news anchor told Book's story on TV, Alexa devices in many listeners' homes woke up and tried to order dollhouses!

Alexa isn't the only Al willing to order. Apple HomePod has Siri, Google Home has its Assistant, and the upcoming Galaxy Home device will have Bixby. People who own these devices use them mainly for listening to music, checking the weather and setting timers. But many experts predict a boom in voice shopping in the near future. Is that a good thing?

Convenience is the main benefit of voice shopping. You can shout out an order as soon as you think of it, even if you're cooking, cleaning, or driving. In addition, people with disabilities who are unable to use a keyboard or mouse can shop without assistance.

But voice shopping has its downsides. Unwanted dollhouses aren't the biggest problem. It's usually very easy to cancel an order or return items. The thing that creeps some people out is that these assistants are always listening. They have to be able to respond when you want them. So they listen for "Alexa" or "OK Google" or another command. When they hear it, they start recording the conversation. Some have worried about what happens to these recordings. Should companies be allowed to use them to learn about people's shopping habits? Should police access them to solve a crime? And what if someone hacks the device? The CIA found a way to hack smart TVs to turn them into spies that listen all the time. Others could do the same with any smart device.

1The writer mentions Brook and Alex in the first paragraph to __________.

A.share an interesting experienceB.show Brook's eagerness for cookies

C.introduce the topic of voice shoppingD.show the functions of a new smart device

2What does the underlined phrase "creeps... out" in the last paragraph most probably mean?

A.Terrifies.B.Affects.

C.Impresses.D.Excites.

3According to the passage, what's the major disadvantage of voice shopping?

A.The return policy is complicated.

B.There are safety and privacy concerns.

C.Quality of the goods can't be guaranteed.

D.The device is not smart and reliable enough to process orders.

【题目】 They are probably the longest-standing and biggest rivals (对手) in international sport— Chinese badminton player Lin Dan, with his deadly smashes (扣球) and drop shots, and his Malaysian rival Lee Chong Wei, who is known for his spirit and determination.

Over the years, the two have competed with each other many times, and both have experienced victory and defeat. But Lin beat Lee the first two times they faced each other in the Olympic Games—in Beijing in 2008 and then in London in 2012.

And that was inadmissible for Lee. In fact, according to BadmintonBlaze.com, Lee once said that if he had the choice between winning an Olympic gold and beating Lin, he would absolutely choose victory over his old rival.

And he eventually did, at the 2016 Rio Games. When he beat Lin that day, Lee dropped to the floor, covered his face with his hands and looked around the stadium like a gold-medal moment although Lee eventually lost out in the final to another Chinese player, Chen Long.

All the years of trying to outdo each other have not only driven Lin and Lee to surpass (超越) themselves as players, but also developed a special friendship between the two.

They care for and encourage each other. They invited each other to their own weddings. And right before this year’s Malaysia Open, Lee, who wasn’t able to compete there on account of his nose cancer, wrote on social networking site Facebook, “My friend Lin Dan, you have my best wishes for this Malaysian Open. If I were to hope for a non-Malaysian to win the men’s singles title, I hope that it’s you my friend, my greatest rival.”

Lin and Lee are now pushing 36 and 37 respectively—ages by which most athletes would have retired—but they are planning to compete at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, in the hope that they can play each other once again.

It’s as Badminton Association of Malaysia vice president David Wee once said of the two, “they bring out the best in each other”.

1Which phrase can best describe their relationship?

A.Familiar strangers.B.Friends and enemies.

C.Colleagues and rivals.D.Teammates and competitors.

2What does the underlined word “inadmissible” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A.Unacceptable.B.Inescapable.

C.Unexpected.D.Impossible.

3What did Lee’s reaction at the 2016 Rio Games indicate?

A.He mistakenly believed he had won the gold medal.

B.He was confident to defeat Lin Dan next time.

C.He didn’t care about the Olympic gold medals.

D.He took his victory over Lin most seriously.

4What can we learn from the passage?

A.Lin ranks second to Lee in the world badminton.

B.Lin is sure to compete against Lee at the 2020 Olympics.

C.Lee has no intention to quit playing badminton in spite of his nose cancer.

D.Lee wished Lin to win the men’s singles title in this year’s Malaysia Open.
