A. become B. get C. turn D. remain

【答案】B

【解析】

【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：过这条繁忙的街道时不要看你的智能手机，如果你这样做，你可能会被车辗过。you与run over之间是被动关系，应该用被动语态，be done=get done，故B项正确。

—Always in my mind! You ________ ‘A Red, Red Rose’ by Robert Burns.

A. recited B. had recited C. are reciting D. were reciting

【答案】D

【解析】

【答案】B

【解析】

【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：他看着她的眼睛，语气变得严肃起来。A. took off脱下；B. took on采取、呈现；C. took in吸收；D. took down记下。根据“a more serious tone”可知，此处表示“呈现”，故B项正确。

【答案】C

【解析】

【详解】考查固定短语辨析。句意：正当我要动身的时候，刚从国外回来的约翰叔叔来看我。A. was able to能够；B. was supposed to应该；C. was about to刚要；D. was likely to可能。根据“Uncle John, who had just come back from abroad, came to see me.”可知，我刚要动身的时候，约翰叔叔来看我了，故C项正确。

5.The bell rang and ________, heading for the playground in high spirits.

A. rushed out the boys B. did the boys rush out

C. out rushed the boys D. out the boys rushed

【答案】C

【解析】

【详解】考查时态和倒装。句意：铃一响，男孩子们就冲了出来，兴高采烈地朝操场跑去。“rang”表明用一般过去时，表示地点或方位的副词位于句首表示强调，需要用完全倒装语序，故C项正确。

【点睛】使用完全倒装通常有以下两种情况：1） here, there, now, then, thus等副词置于句首, 谓语动词常用be, come, go, lie, run等表示来去或状态的动词。例如： Then came the bus. 　　 Here is your letter. 2） 表示运动方向的副词或地点状语置于句首，谓语表示运动的动词。 Out rushed a boy. Ahead sat an old woman. 注意如果主语是人称代词，不用完全倒装语序，比如：Here you are. Away they went.

A. dropped by B. dropped off C. dropped behind D. dropped in

【答案】C

【解析】

【详解】考查情态动词辨析。句意：实验前每一件设备都应该被检查一遍是很重要的。A. would将会；B. could能；C. should应该；D. might可能。根据“be checked before the experiment”可知，每一件设备都应该在实验前被检查一遍，故C项正确。

8.—You should have attended your daughter’s graduation ceremony.

A. to do B. having done so C. to have D. doing so

【答案】C

【解析】

【详解】考查动词的固定结构。句意：——你本应该参加你女儿的毕业典礼。——我本打算去的，但发生了点急事。根据“You should have attended”可知，第二人没有去参加女儿的毕业典礼， mean to have done表示“本打算做而没有做”，此处省略了done，故C项正确。

9.Senior family members, especially parents, should create an atmosphere ________ would encourage their children to read books.

A. that B. what C. where D. when

【答案】A

【解析】

【详解】考查定语从句。句意：年长的家庭成员，尤其是父母，应该创造一种鼓励孩子读书的氛围。此处为定语从句，关系词指代先行词atmosphere，并在从句中作主语，故A项正确。

【点睛】定语从句的解题关键是要分两步走，一是找准先行词，二是判断关系词在从句所做的成分，例如本题，关系词指代先行词atmosphere，并在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词that，试与下面这个例句作比较，I think our school should create a relaxing atmosphere where we students can study without stress. 我认为我们学校应该营造一种轻松的氛围，在那种氛围下我们学生可以毫无压力地学习。（先行词同样为atmosphere，但从句中不缺主宾表，缺少地点状语，所以用关系副词where）

10.Reading light fiction, going out to see a romantic comedy, or sharing a pleasant time with friends is not ________ my bad feelings now.

A. in tune with B. in touch with C. in honour of D. in defence of

【答案】A

12.Nearly 3,500 years ago, people chewed on leaves ________ a special chemical to reduce body pains and fever.

A. possessed B. to possess C. having possessed D. possessing

【答案】D

【解析】

【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：大约3500年前，人们咀嚼含有一种特殊化学物质的树叶来减轻身体疼痛和发烧。leaves 与possess之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，表示主动，用现在分词作后置定语，现在分词表示的动作不先于主语动作，所以不用现在分词的完成式，故D项正确。

13.Robert Redford, a famous actor and director, wanted to expose the public to films made outside of the Hollywood system that ordinary people might have no access to ________.

A. otherwise B. though C. thus D. therefore

【答案】A

C. What is it that D. How it is that

【答案】C

【解析】

【详解】考查强调句的特殊疑问句形式。句意：——是什么让你儿子最近感到沮丧？——所有他申请的大学都拒绝了他（这一事情）。强调句的特殊疑问句形式为；疑问词+is it that+其余部分，其中特殊疑问词是被强调的部分，根据答语可知强调的是主语，表示“什么”，故C项正确。

15.—I love the film “Aquaman” and the heroine, Mera, in particular.

—________. Don’t you think the violence in it goes too far?

A. That’s not the point B. I beg to differ

C. I feel the same way D. I can’t agree more

【答案】B

【点睛】情景交际的难度较大，除了解个选项的意思外，抓住答语的暗示也很重要，例如本题，根据答语“Don’t you think the violence in it goes too far?”可知，第二人不喜欢电影《海王》，四项中只有B项I beg to differ（恕我不敢苟同）表示不同意别人的观点，故B项正确。

第三部分 阅读理解 （共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）

请认真阅读下列短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Cooloola National Park

The park protects the largest undamaged sand dune(沙丘) system in the world, and also includes rainforest, open forest and heathlands. Significant features of the park are the coloured sand cliffs, extensive beaches, forests and peaceful lakes.

Visitors can enjoy bushwalking, scenic drives, beach fishing, lake and surf swimming. Many rough tracks within the park are 4WD (four-wheel drive) only — day tours and safaris(游猎) are available.

◆Walks

Cooloola National Park provides many day and extended walks opportunities. The Noosa river is also a great river to canoe(划独木舟) up and many people do. Spring is the best time to walk, and the wildflowers are impressive.

The old foot bridge that was washed away over Kin Creek has now been replaced further upstream and the track here upgraded.

◆Walks from Harrys Hut

Harrys Hut provides a good base to explore this area. Some walks may require the crossing of the Noosa River so it is good to either have a lilo or some other means to cross it.

◆Campsite 3

From the campground, cross the Noosa River and pick up the track on the east bank. This path follows the Noosa River upstream to Campsite 3, a large bush campsite with a toilet provided. Water may be picked up along the track. It is nice to have a swim here after a long hot walk. It is about a 1.5 hour easy walk from Harrys.

◆Fig Tree Point

The point could also be done as an easy extended walk. It is best to follow the old forestry road, 1km back along the road from Harrys, to the point. There is no water. The walk would be about a18km walk return to Harrys Hut.

◆ Wandi Waterhole

An easy day walk of about 9kms to the campsite. This walk could be used as an introduction to extended walks. The track follows the Wilderness Trail and there is no navigational(导航的) problem.

◆ Information and booking

Rainbow Beach Road

PO Box 30 Rainbow Beach Q 4581 (074) 86 3160 (7am-4pm) Fax (074) 86 3335

A. canoeing along the Noosa river is quite risky

B. long distance walkers need an experienced guide

C. a lot of scenic drives need reliable 4WD vehicles

D. lake and surf swimming is the most challenging

A. it has breathtaking sights and activities

B. it opens all year round and is free of charge

C. there is no navigational problem

D. there is a newly-built foot bridge

【答案】36. C 37. A

【解析】

本文是一篇应用文，介绍了澳大利亚的著名旅游景点库鲁拉国家公园。

【36题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段“ Many rough tracks within the park are 4WD (four-wheel drive 四驱) only”可知，公园内许多粗糙的轨道都是四轮驱动的，也就是说欣赏公园里的很多美景需要驾驶四轮驱动汽车，故C项正确。

【37题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段“Significant features of the park are the coloured sand cliffs, extensive beaches, forests and peaceful lakes.”可知，公园的显著特色是彩色的沙崖、广阔的海滩、森林和宁静的湖泊，再根据第二段“Visitors can enjoy bushwalking, scenic drives, beach fishing, lake and surf swimming.”可知，游客可以享受丛林漫步，开车赏景，海滩垂钓和冲浪游泳等活动，由此可知，该公园吸引人的地方不仅是拥有迷人的风景，还有各种各样的活动，故A项正确。

B

Mythology(神话) is rich with tales of dragons and the magical characteristics of their blood. It was supposed to be capable of curing certain diseases and was widely sought after.

A new study at George Mason University in Virginia suggests that the blood of the Komodo dragon, the largest living lizard on the planet, is loaded with chemicals that could be used as antibiotics(抗生素).

Komodo dragons, which are native to parts of Indonesia, attack large animals like water buffalo and deer with a bite to the throat. If their prey (猎物) does not fall immediately, the dragons rarely continue the fight. Instead, they back away and let the mix of mild poison and dozens of disease-causing bacteria found in their saliva(唾液) finish the job. They track their prey until it falls, victim to the poison and the bacteria, and then they can feast without a struggle. The strange thing is Komodo dragons are not affected by the bites of other dragons.

This fact interested the researchers who then examined the blood of Komodo dragons and discovered that it possessed qualities that are likely to have important medicinal uses. They recognized 48 elements that had previously been unknown to science and decided to test them in their laboratory. They exposed two types of disease-causing bacteria to eight of the most promising elements found in dragon blood. They found that the growth of both bacteria were strongly affected by seven of the dragon blood elements.

These results are important because antibiotic-proof bacteria are an increasing problem in hospitals. Such bacteria are thought to cause 700,000 deaths in hospitals each year around the world. It could be that the work of scientists with Komodo dragon blood could solve this increasingly common problem and their work may prove that dragon’s blood is just as magical as myths suggest.

细节理解题。根据第三段“they back away and let the mix of mild poison and dozens of disease-causing bacteria found in their saliva(唾液) finish the job.”可知，在捕食过程中，科摩多巨蜥后退一步，用唾液中的毒素和几十种致命的细菌杀死猎物，由此可知，科摩多巨蜥唾液中的毒素和细菌是致命的，故D项正确。

word/media/image2_1.png39题详解】

C

To me, my parents’ relationship is like a Bollywood movie. Anil, an actor, and Sunita, a former model and fashion designer, met in high school, fell in love, and have been happily married for 35 years. They support one another’s goals and work together to raise their family, regardless of what society demands.

When my dad was struggling at the start of his acting career, my mom supported the two of them financially through modeling work, even though she hated being in front of the camera. And when I was five or six, my dad — who was always identified as a feminist(女权主义者)— would help to take the pressure off my mom, which was unheard of at the time and still uncommon.

With these kinds of actions, my parents taught us their progressive principles. Watching them, I learned the value of hard work, honesty, tolerance and a strong moral compass, and that what I could accomplish didn’ t have to be limited or decided by my sex.

While this may be common knowledge in other parts of the world (in theory if not always in practice), growing up in India, this was revolutionary. Here, many of us worship(敬奉) goddesses and elect women to the most powerful offices, yet women still aren’ t seen as equal to men. ①

But at home, there was no difference between my brother and I, between my mom and my dad. Seeing my parents interact as equals, I knew I too could have a voice someday. I felt powerful enough to stand up for myself. ② In the past, this meant walking away from so-called great films where I wasn’t receiving the treatment or pay I felt I deserved, and others that didn’t agree with my worldview. But my upbringing has also led to exciting projects that have the power to spread my values further.

Cinema can be a reflection of what society is going through, but once in a while, you can be part of something that can actually change the way people think. ③ My dad and I recently worked on our first film together, “This is How I Felt When I Saw That Girl”, in which he plays my father, and I play his secret lesbian(女同性恋) daughter, trying to find a way to come out to him.

As the first Bollywood movie about a lesbian relationship, we knew it wasn’t going to be a commercial hit in conservative India, and since we filmed it before gay(男同性恋) sex was made legal last September, we weren’ t sure whether the film would come out. But my dad said, “We need to change the way people think about these things. You have to be OK with loving whoever you want to love, or being whoever you want to be.” I couldn’t agree more. ④

Last year, I followed in my parents’ footsteps and married my own best friend, a kind, sensitive man who is comfortable expressing his feelings and cares deeply about the world around him. When I look at him, I see so many of the values that were passed down to me. In fact, I don’t know if I would have chosen him had I not been raised to value those qualities — and I have my parents to thank for that. Inheritance(遗产) is not about money, or property. It’s the values you teach your children. Teach them to do the right thing and to stand up for themselves and others, for the benefit of their future selves and the people around them.

41. It is safe to assume that the author’s parents ________.

A. are used to living a typical Indian lifestyle

B. fell in love at first sight when starring in a movie

C. struggled to become famous immediately they got married

D. have a deep affection for each other and are committed to family

42. What does the word “this” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. The positive influence that her parents had on her in her youth.

B. The value of hard work, honesty, tolerance and a moral compass.

C. The belief that one’s achievements shouldn’t be decided by sex.

D. Common knowledge that is widely accepted in Indian society.

43. Where should the sentence “The actions and values I observed at home have guided me throughout my career, and in many ways shaped it.” be put in the article?

44. The author mentions the film “This is How I Felt When I Saw That Girl” in Paragraph 6 because ________.

【解析】

word/media/image2_1.png分析】

本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者是印度的一名知名影星，她分享了在父母的言传身教下，她是如何看待生活、看待爱以及看待女性地位的。

【41题详解】

推理判断题。根据第一段“have been happily married for 35 years. They support one another’ s goals and work together to raise their family”可知，作者的父母已经结婚35年了，他们互相支持对方的目标，共同努力养家糊口，由此可知，作者的父母彼此之间有深厚的感情，对家庭有责任感，故D项正确。

【42题详解】

词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句中“what I could accomplish didn’t have to be limited or decided by my sex.”可知，我所能取得的成就并不受性别的限制或决定，此处是说虽然这在世界其他地方可能是常识，但在印度长大，这是革命性的，由此可知this指代的就是前面提到的我认识到我所能取得的成就并不受性别的限制或决定，故C项正确。

【43题详解】

推理判断题。所需填入句子的意思是“我在家里看到的行为和价值观指导着我的整个职业生涯，并在许多方面塑造了我的职业生涯”，根据②处前的“Seeing my parents interact as equals, I knew I too could have a voice someday. I felt powerful enough to stand up for myself.”可知，看到父母平等地互动，我知道有一天我也会有自己的声音，我觉得自己有足够的力量为自己挺身而出，此处承接上文，讲述的是父母对我职业生涯的影响，故B项正确。

【44题详解】

细节理解题。根据该段第一句“Cinema can be a reflection of what society is going through, but once in a while, you can be part of something that can actually change the way people think. ”可知，电影可以反映社会正在经历的事情，但有时你也可以成为改变人们思维方式的一部分，因此作者提到电影“This is How I Felt When I Saw That Girl”是因为它有助于进一步传播她的价值观，故A项正确。

【45题详解】

细节理解题。根据最后一段“I have my parents to thank for that. Inheritance (遗产) is not about money, or property. It’ s the values you teach your children. . Teach them to do the right thing and to stand up for themselves and others, for the benefit of their future selves and the people around them.”可知，作者感激父母帮助她塑造了世界观，包括做正确的事，为自己和他人站起来，为将来的自己和周围的人谋利益。故B项正确。

【点睛】代词指代形式的词义猜测题难度较大，抓住画线词前的一两句是关键，因为这种指代关系往往存在于离画线词很近的上文中，例如本篇第2题，需要猜测的代词在第四段首句，所以要从第三段最后部分寻找依据，根据第三段最后一句中“what I could accomplish didn’t have to be limited or decided by my sex.”可知，我认识到所能取得的成就并不受性别的限制或决定，此处是说虽然这在世界其他地方可能是常识，但在印度长大，这是革命性的（印度是一个重男轻女的社会），由此可知this指代的就是前面提到的我认识到我所能取得的成就并不受性别的限制或决定。

Keeping it in the family

This can be painful. Not sharing your first language with loved ones is hard. Not passing it on to your own child can be especially tough. Many immigrant(移民) parents feel a sense of failure; they share stories on parenting forums and social media, hoping to find the secret to raising bilingual(双语的) children successfully. Children are good at learning languages but this doesn’t mean that rough exposure is enough. They must hear a language quite a bit to understand it — and use it often to be able to speak it comfortably. This is mental work, and a child who doesn’t have a motivation to speak a language will often avoid it. Children’s brains are already busy enough. So languages often fade away and die when parents move abroad.

In the past, governments discouraged immigrant families from keeping their languages. Former President Roosevelt worried that America would become a “multi-lingual boarding-house”. These days, officials tend to get involved less; some even see a valuable resource in immigrants’ language abilities. Yet many factors combine to ensure that children still lose their parents’ languages, or never learn them. A big one is institutional pressure. A child’s time spent with a second language is time not spent on their first. So teachers often discourage parents from speaking their languages to their children. Parents often unwillingly agree, worried about their children’s education.

This is a shame; children really can master two languages or even more. Research does indeed suggest their vocabulary in each language may be somewhat smaller for a while. But other studies show cognitive(认知的) advantages among bilinguals. They may be better at complex tasks, better at paying attention, and suffer the attack of Alzheimer’s disease later.

Even without those side-effects, though, a bilingual child’s connection to relatives and another culture is a good thing in itself. How to bring it about? When both parents speak the same heritage language, the strategy is often to speak that at home, and the national language outside. But when they have different languages, perhaps the most common approach is “one parent, one language”.

François Grosjean, an expert in foreign languages at the University of Neuchâtel in Switzerland, emphasizes necessity. He recommends reserving occasions on which the only language that may be spoken is the one that needs support.

Sabine Little, an expert in foreign languages at the University of Sheffield, puts the emphasis elsewhere. Making the heritage language yet another task forced by parents can lead to rejection, she argues. She recommends letting the child develop their own emotional connection to the language. She suggests learning through apps and entertainment made for native speakers.

Languages are an important part of identity; it is painful to try and fail to pass them on to a child. Success may be a question of remembering that they are not just another thing to be drilled into a young mind, but a matter of the heart.

【答案】The Effects of AI on Our Lives

The person waiting in line for a job interview looks confused and anxious because the other applicants are robots, which shows the fierce competition in the job market caused by AI.

Undoubtedly, AI does benefit us a lot. With the application of AI, the cost can be significantly reduced by employing fewer workers. The efficiency can be improved by accelerating the production process. Meanwhile, robots are used to undertake some dangerous jobs. Despite the convenience AI brings to human beings, many people are likely to be laid off with robots replacing them.

With the fast development of AI, many people in the world today can’t live without it. However, we’d better take a cautious attitude towards it. For one thing, the use of AI should be placed under the authority of the government. For another, researchers are expected to further develop AI devices so that they can serve us better.
