【题目】阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
When an important holiday comes, I usually think of what gifts to buy or prepare for my family members. It is the act itself rather than the thing you buy that 【1】(matter). Either a small present, a text message or a phone call can mean a lot to the receivers. 【2】, I had never got anything from my son, who is a university student. Parents never forget to celebrate their children’s birthday, but their children seem to be very 【3】 (forget). They seldom do something in return.
Life is unpredictable, and you never know what will happen tomorrow. When my son came back during the summer vacation, my wife and I, as usual, 【4】 (meet) him at the station. 【5】arriving home, much to my surprise, my son took out a wrist watch and gave it to me, 【6】 (say) it was a birthday gift for me. It is a very fashionable watch, 【7】shows not only hours, minutes and seconds but days as well. You can imagine how surprised and excited I was at that moment.
Some people say children get too much care and love from their parents and just take them for granted. It is natural for people to have such concerns and 【8】(worry), but things may not turn out as badly as【9】(expect). We need to look more at the positive side of life, as a famous writer once said, “Life is 【10】best classroom one can never get.”
【答案】
【1】matters
【2】However
【3】forgetful
【4】met
【5】On/Upon
【6】saying
【7】which
【8】worries
【9】expected
【10】the
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的儿子在他生日时送了他一只手表作为礼物,这让他很意外也很高兴。作者通过这件事情明白了我们应该多看生活的积极面。
【1】考查主谓一致。分析句子可知,此处是定语从句谓语动词,主语that指代先行词the thing,故它是第三人称单数,由前文的is判断为一般现在时,故谓语动词用三单现形式,故填matters。
【2】考查副词。句意:然而,我却没有从儿子那儿得到过任何东西,他是一个大学生。结合上下文可知,此句和上文是转折意义,且位于句首修饰整个句子,故填However。
【3】考查形容词。此处应填形容词作为表语,再结合语境可知,此处意为“孩子们似乎是健忘的”,forgetful“健忘的”,故填forgetful。
【4】考查时态。此处是主句谓语动词,由上文的came判断为一般过去时,故填met。
【5】考查介词。此处考查固定用法on/upon doing sth.“一……就……”,故填On/Upon。
【6】考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,此处应用非谓语动词作状语,say和my son之间是逻辑上的主动关系,故用现在分词作状语,故填saying。
【7】考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处是非限制性定语从句关系词,先行词watch在从句中充当主语,故用关系代词which,故填which。
【8】考查名词。此处应填名词作为have的宾语,worry“担心”是可数名词,由concerns判断此处用复数形式,故填worries。
【9】考查状语从句的省略。此处考查比较状语从句的省略,expect和它的主语things之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,完整句子为things may not turn out as badly as they are expected,主动句主语一致,且从句有be动词时,可以省略从句的主语和be,故省略为things may not turn out as badly as expected,故填expected。
【10】考查冠词。根据best判断此处应填定冠词the构成最高级结构,故填the。
第7小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:watch
分析先行词在从句中充当什么成分:先行词watch在从句___7___shows not only hours, minutes and seconds but days as well.中充当主语,应用指物的关系代词
考虑特殊情况:非限制性定语从句中不能用that
故填which

【题目】 When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming many things. Sometimes, I wished I was an astronaut going up into space, finding new planets and jumping around in a cool space suit. Other times, I imagined being a cowboy in the Wild West, wearing stylish cowboy boots. On other occasions, I pretended to be a famous footballer, using my skills to score lots of goals for my team.
Looking back, I realize that imagination is a wonderful thing. I was able to create entire environments and scenarios in my head, using nothing more than my brain, and to be able to adapt things in my everyday surroundings to fit the specific story of the day. Growing up with siblings (兄弟姐妹) also helped, as it meant that even bigger stories could be created, combining our ideas and putting our thoughts into action. It also allowed for more varieties in the stories, as sometimes I could be the hero while on other occasions, I would be the bad guy.
One of my all-time favorite memories as a kid was playing in my back garden. I played the role of Indiana Jones, which cleaned up at the cinema at that time, with my younger sister as my assistant and my brother as a bad person. We used everything in our garden, from the path to the fence, as part of the storyline to create obstacles that needed to be overcome, and we would keep the story going for hours!
My personal favorite game was Indiana Jones and the Stolen Easter Eggs, where my brother hid small chocolate eggs around the garden and my sister and I had to find them by answering questions or solving a puzzle. It was difficult, but eventually we found all the eggs and shared them together.
Since then, I have seen many great things and met many amazing people. The elements of fun and varieties of my creative imaginations are what I try to bring into every part of my positive life. So I can enjoy sharing with and hearing about other people’s stories, too.

【2】Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “scenarios” in Paragraph 2?

【题目】 Surprise! High School Student Discovers New Planet Three Days Into NASA.
When 17-year-old Wolf Cukier accepted an internship (实习) at NASA, he expected to be challenged and gain insights into pursuing a career in astrophysics (天体物理学) . Instead, he attained worldwide fame for an achievement finding a new planet!
The teenager came across the distant world while examining images of the variations in star brightness captured by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and uploaded to Planet Hunters TESS by amateur citizen astronomers. “I was looking through the data for everything the volunteers had marked,” Cukier said. “About three days into my internship, I saw a signal from a system called TOI 1338. At first, I thought it was a stellar eclipse (日食) but the timing was wrong. It turned out to be a planet.” Further research revealed that TOI 1338 b, as it is now called, is a rare circumbinary planet (环双星行星) — a world orbiting two stars. Even more exciting, TOI 1338 b is the first circumbinary world discovered by the TESS mission.
The researchers believe that TOI 1338 b is about 6.9 times larger than Earth. The experts claim that TOI 1338 b's two stars vary in size. It is also the only planet in the TOI 1338 system, which lies 1,300 light-years away from Earth.
Not surprisingly, the High School senior is looking to pursue a career in physics and astrophysics. When asked of his plans to seek out a job at NASA, the youngster said, “I've no idea about NASA's hiring practices but it can't hurt!” He added, “A career in space research is appealing.”
【1】What kind of writing does the text belong to?
A.A biography.B.A novel.
C.A diary.D.A news report.
【2】What can we know about TOI 1338 b?
A.It is a rare planet with only one star.
B.It is about 6.9 times smaller than Earth.
C.It lies 1,300 light-years away from Earth.
D.It is the first cirumbinary planet discovered by human.
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Cukier is very proud of himself.
B.NASA is very strict on hiring practices.
C.Cukier has great interest in working at NASA.
D.Cukier knows nothing about NASA'S hiring practices.
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

【题目】 Are visible tattoos an invitation to stare at a person? A blog post on LinkedIn titled “But You Asked Me to Stare At Your Tattoos” is causing debate after its author declared that if someone has a visible tattoo, they are inviting attention on themselves.
The magazine columnist Jeff Haden writes that while in a meeting recently, he met a man with a full sleeve tattoo. After looking at his body art for “a couple of seconds”, the man asked Haden, “Would it be easier if you just took a picture?” Haden goes on to write, “You have this huge, colorful, incredibly eye-catching tattoo. And you’re wearing a shirt with unusually short sleeves. It’s like you’re paraphrasing Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men: ‘You want me to see your tattoo. You need me to see your tattoo.’”
But not everyone who has a visible tattoo thinks about it when getting dressed in the morning, replied some commenters. For those with tattoos, they often become a part of the person. “For most people who have had their tattoos, it isn’t something that you think about with any frequency. I don’t even notice it as ‘different’. It’s just a part of you - like grey hair or a large nose.” Writes Kristen Stine. “People say to me ‘What’s that?’, pointing at my arm. I often get flustered expecting to see a bug when I look down. However, I just see my arm.”
Still others agree with Haden and say that visible tattoos have no place in the workplace. “If you don’t want people to stare, wear a long sleeve shirt in this air-conditioned office. Clearly you want people to stare,” writes Mike Avelar.
Haden closes his piece with the following: “Make a statement with your apparel, your tattoos, your piercings or your actions. I think it’s great. Just don’t get mad when people look for a bit longer than usual… and occasionally even stare. That must be your intention. After all - you invited us to.”
【1】What is the text mainly about?
A.The introduction of a magazine.
B.A hot debate about tattoos.
C.The bad effects of tattoos.
D.The blog of Jeff Haden.
【2】Jeff Haden thinks that ______.
A.more discussion should be made about tattoos
B.people with tattoos hope to attract attention
C.people with tattoos shouldn’t take pictures
D.it’s improper for people to get tattoos
【3】According to Kristen Stine, ________.
A.people needn’t worry about tattoos
B.people with tattoos should cover them
C.tattoos have become important for him
D.he didn’t pay much attention to tattoos
【4】What is Mike Avelar’s idea about tattoos?
A.Air-conditioned offices are fit for people with tattoos.
B.People shouldn’t show tattoos in the workplace.
C.It’s reasonable for people to have tattoos.
D.People with tattoos should be blamed.

【题目】阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
The fire at Notre-Dame Cathedral de Paris has raised questions about the condition of thousands of other cathedrals and historic 【1】 (structure) across Europe. It also raises questions about whether European government are doing enough 【2】 (keep) up and care for such buildings.
Tibor Navracsics, the European Union’s top cultural official, told The Associated Press that “we are so used to our outstanding cultural heritage in Europe that we tend to forget that it 【3】 (need) constant care and attention.” Some people say the fire was a wake-up call, not just for Europe,【4】 for the whole world.
Large fires have long robbed humanity 【5】 knowledge, art and treasures. In 2015, the German engineering company Siemens 【6】 (find) that Scotland had about ten damaging fires a year, while England lost at least a dozen listed buildings a year. In Germany, seventy historic buildings have been 【7】 (heavy) damaged since 2000.
Experts say that 【8】 is needed is continuous attention and maintenance. Some say world-famous monuments like Notre-Dame are the 【9】 (drive) force behind tourism and should get more respect. Sneska Quaedvlieg-Mihailovic, who heads the heritage group Europa Nostra, noted the 【10】 (important) of such respect. “Cultural heritage is a gold mine. You cannot exploit it and then just leave the mine and go to another one.” She said.

【题目】 As recently as 15 years ago, if you wanted to catch up on the news, you could look at a handful of publications or a few nightly programs. And if you wanted to listen to music, you could turn on MTV or fiddle with your radio. People in major cities had more options, because a large population can support specialty shops. 【1】.
Today, as we all know, access to information has exploded. One consequence, according to Toure, a cultural critic writing in Salon, is that the ability of pop culture to unify us-- he refers to the massive interest in Michael Jackson’s Thriller, or Nirvana’s Nevermind--has been eroded, probably forever. Steven Hyden, also writing in Salon, counters that whatever the advantages and disadvantages of a centralized pop-culture authority, the monoculture never actually existed.
【2】 Even when it supposedly existed, its content largely depended on other characteristics of your little corner of the world. In the 1992-1993 school year, I was a student at a multiracial and relatively urban junior high school in California’s central valley. We listened to Salt-n-Pepa, Snoop Doggy Dogg, and Kris Kross, with the latter having inspired a trend in which kids wore their clothes backwards. The next year I was enrolled in a mostly white junior high school in leafy Chiago suburb. One of the houses was famous for having appeared in the 1990 film “Home Alone”; the popular bands were Nirvana, Hole and the Smashing Pumpkins; and the biggest pop-cultural event of the school year was Kurt Cobain’s suicide.
But Toure’s point is about the virtues of common cultural experience. It seems he is recalling centralized media only in so far as it’s a distribution system that fostered ( 促进) that outcome.
【3】 It doesn’t matter whether a record is released by an important label or an indie ( 独立制片人); if it’s online, people can usually find, forward, share and promote it. But what’s interesting and perhaps surprising, given that both Toure and Mr Hyden seem to agree that the old distribution favored big media, is that we still have widely shared cultural experiences. Just think of Barack Obama doing the little hand gesture from Beyonce’s “Single Ladies ” video.
【4】. It’s safe to say that the monoculture never really existed, and that some artists still reach a wide audience, whether we like it or not.
A.That suggests that we like pop culture partly because it’s a shared experience, regardless of quality.
B.However, in vast areas of the world you had to work to get outside the mainstream.
C.Whether you like it or not, “monoculture” is here with us.
D.I think Mr Hyden is correct that the concept of a “monoculture” is a bit of a myth.
E.They see globalization as being the spread of a monoculture, based on western values, which is killing the cultural diversity of the world.
F.And it’s true that the ways we now consume pop culture to some extent level the playing field.
