【解析】
【详解】考查表语从句。句意：对于这起暴力事件我所知道的是它已经导致了至少三人死亡。句中that引导表语从句，陈述事实并没有疑问含义，排除AD项（whether和when表示疑问含义）。而且该从句结构完整，不需要使用连接代词what，故选择B项。
7.It had the dusty smell of an apartment ________ windows were rarely opened.
A. that B. which
C. where D. whose
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：它有很少开窗透气的公寓里的灰尘的味道。在定语从句中AC项通常不能做定语，which做定语时，后面通常接time和case。本句定语从句的先行词是an apartment，关系代词whose指代先行词，并在从句中做定语修饰名词windows。故选择D项。
【点睛】本题考查了关系代词whose，它是定语从句中考查较多的内容，其具体用法如下：
1. whose用作关系代词时，它并不表示“谁的”，而是表示“……的……”，在具体语境需要灵活处理。如：
He is the man whose car was stolen. 他就是汽车被窃的人。
The boys whose names were called stood up. 叫到名字的男孩们站了起来。
You are the only one whose advice he might listen to. 你是惟一可能使他听从劝告的人。
2. 不要以为whose引导定语从句时，其先行词就是指人的名词，其实也可以是指事物（包括动物）的名词。如：
It was an island whose name I have forgotten. 这是一座岛，名字我忘了。
Wolves are highly social animals whose success depends upon cooperation. 狼是高度群体化的动物，它们的成功依赖于合作。
3. whose 不仅可以引导限制性定语从句，也可引导非限制性定语从句。如：
My bitch, whose temper is very uncertain, often bites the judges at dog shows. 我的母狗脾气不稳定，常常在狗展上咬裁判。
One of the Britons, whose identity has not been revealed, was taken to hospital. 其中一位英国人被送往医院。他的身份还没有透露。
Now was not the time to start thinking of mother, whose death had so distressed me. 现在还不是开始想念母亲的时候。她的逝世令我极度痛苦。
4. 引导定语从句的“whose+名词”，有时可换成其他结构，注意词序的变化。比较：
破了窗户的那座房子是空的。
正：The house whose windows are broken is empty.
正：The house the windows of which are broken is empty.
正：The house of which the windows are broken is empty.
正：The house with broken windows is empty.
5. 根据语境的需要，whose 前可以使用语义需要的介词。如：
I wish to thank Professor Smith, without whose help I would never have got this far. 我要感谢史密斯教授，没有他的帮助，我不会走到今天这一步。
Last month, part of Southeast Asia was struck by floods, from whose effects the people are still suffering. 上个月东南亚的部分地区受到洪水侵袭，现在人们仍在遭受洪水带来的影响。
8.________ his school uniform in the stadium, David rushed back to get it and an acquaintance had taken it away.
A. To lose B. Lost
C. Having lost D. Losing
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查分词做状语。句意：把校服忘记在操场上了，David跑回去拿校服，一个熟人已经把它拿走了。句中动词短语lose his school uniform与David构成主动关系，且该短语表示的动作发生在谓语动词“rushed back to …”，要用现在分词的完成式表示主动和已经完成的动作，故选择C项。
9.I couldn’t make sense of the passage. You must have ________ some important information while copying it.
A. found out B. held out
C. given out D. left out
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意：我无法理解这一段，在抄写的时候，你一定遗漏了一些重要信息。A. found out发现；找到；B. held out伸出，坚持；C. given out分发，散发；D. left out遗漏，省略；根据句意可知“leave out遗漏”符合语境，故选择D项。
10.Tom was so wild about computer games that he would stay online for ten hours ________ a day.
A. in the end B. in particular
C. on end D. on purpose
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查介词短语辨析。句意：Tom对于电脑游戏如此痴迷以至于他常常会在一天里连续在线十个小时。A. in the end最后；B. in particular尤其；C. on end连续；D. on purpose故意地；根据句意可知“on end连续”符合语境，故选择C项。
11.Doctor Wang says that ________ what forceful arguments against cigarette there are, many people insist on smoking.
A. though B. however
C. no matter D. even if
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查让步状语从句。句意：王医生说无论反对吸烟的争论多么强烈，很多人坚持抽烟。句中no matter what引导让步状语从句，表示上下文转折关系。故C项正确。
12.In children’s minds, winter is always _______ skiing, skating and making an snowman.
A. attached to B. blessed with
C. involved in D. associated with
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词短语辨析。句意：在儿童的思维里，冬天总是与滑雪、滑冰和堆雪人联系在一起。形容词定语be attached to依附于…；be blessed with幸运地拥有…；be involved in参与…；涉及…；be associated with与…有关。根据句意可知D项“与…有关”符合上下文语意，故选择D项。

【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查名词辨析。句意：《拯救大兵瑞恩》是一部令人难忘的反战电影，也是一个关于勇气和牺牲的故事。A. burden负担；B. depression压抑，压力；C. benefit好处，益处；D. sacrifice牺牲；根据句意可知“sacrifice牺牲”符合上下文语境，故选择D项。
14.More and more cancer patients _________ in hospital owing to polluted environment and people’s bad lifestyles.
A. treated B. have treated
C. have been treated D. had been treated
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查时态语态。句意：由于被污染了的环境和人们糟糕的生活方式，越来越多的癌症病人正在医院里接受治疗。本句主语more and more cancer patients与动词treat构成被动关系，要使用被动语态；而且很多病人接受治疗是已经发生的事情，要用完成时表示，所以本句使用现在完成时的被动语态，故选择C项。
15.—It rained cats and dogs this morning. I’m glad we took an umbrella.
—Yeah, we would have got wet all over if we ________ .
A. didn’t B. hadn’t
C. haven’t D. don’t
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查虚拟语气及省略。句意：—今天早晨雨下得很大。很高兴我们带了雨伞。—是的，如果我们没有带伞，全身都会湿透的。根据句意可知表示对过去发生的事情的虚拟，if从句里要使用过去完成时“had done”，主句部分使用“情态动词+have done”，B项承前省略了taken an umbrella。故B选择B项。
【点睛】虚拟语气用在条件状语从句中，通常从句由连词if 引导。

If +主语 +动词过去式

如果你早来几分钟，你就会碰上他。
If there had been no air in the tube, the result of the experiment would have been more accurate.
如果试管中没有空气，实验结果就会更精确。
3.与将来事实相反的虚拟条件句

I grew up in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. When the holiday decorations went up, there were houses on my block with trees lit up for Christmas in front yards and behind living room windows. I was born in a Jewish family. Even though I received eight presents for Hanukkah (an eight-day Jewish holiday in
November or December), it just wasn’t fair. My friends had beautiful trees with lights and presents brought by a man in a red suit. I didn’t have a tree, and I lived in an apartment building, so I had no chimney(烟囱).
That year, some neighbors bought a Christmas tree, but it was too tall for their living rooms, They cut off the top and, knowing I wanted to celebrate Christmas, gave the top to my family. After my parents fell asleep, I opened a window in our apartment. I imagined Santa could park his sleigh(雪橇) on our fire escape. When I woke up the next morning, the window was closed and Santa had delivered a present. I can’t even remember what it was, but my memory of the morning lasts.
My relationship with Santa took a break until my daughter, Amanda, was born in 1992. My wife and I saw no reason to deprive(剥夺) her of meeting Santa. In 1998, a friend of mine portrayed(扮演) Santa at the South Street Seaport in Manhattan. He told me to stop by with my wife and daughter, and asked for their names in advance so he could greet them. When he saw us at the seaport, he greeted us by our names. My daughter’s mouth opened wide and she pulled back. Maybe she was too young to appreciate this. But other families waiting to see him seemed delighted by his appearance and the gifts he brought.
My two children are now grown up and do not visit Santa, and we do not have a Christmas tree, yet our family still enjoys the holiday. On Christmas Eve, in the spirit of the night, we leave a plate of my favorite cookies on the kitchen table in hopes Santa will leave a present.
41. What was the young author’s wish?
A. Receiving many presents at Hanukkah. B. Visiting his friends at Christmas.
C. Celebrating Christmas at home. D. Living in a house with a tree.
42. Why did the author open a window that night?
A. To let Santa deliver a gift. B. His parents asked him to do so.
C. His Christmas tree was too tall. D. To enjoy a Christmas night scene.
43. What made Amanda pull back?
A. Meeting many people in Santa’s clothes. B. Being greeted by Santa by name.
C. Recognizing her father’s friend. D. Receiving gifts from Santa.
44. What might the author’s family do now on Christmas Eve?
A. Visit Santa. B. Eat cookies.
C. Decorate a Christmas tree. D. Take pleasure from the holiday.
45. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段后两句“Even though I received eight presents for Hanukkah (an eight-day Jewish holiday in November or December), it just wasn’t fair. My friends had beautiful trees with lights and presents brought by a man in a red suit. I didn’t have a tree, and I lived in an apartment building, so I had no chimney.”可知虽然作者也收到了礼物，但他认为这并不公平。因为他的朋友们可以快乐地庆祝圣诞节，有圣诞树和圣诞老人送礼物，他却没有。说明他希望能够在家里庆祝圣诞节。故C项正确。
【42题详解】

With the New Year just months away, you are probably looking forward to watching the wonderful fireworks(烟花) shows. Unfortunately, the over ten million blind Americans, and scores more around the world, have never been able to experience this joyful celebration. That may change soon thanks to Feeling Fireworks, a tactile(可触摸的) fireworks experience invented by the masterminds at the Disney Research Lab in Switzerland.
To experience the show, users stand in front of a large screen, which is made of special material. They then place their hands at the base of the screen and move them around to feel the fireworks. Alternatively, their hands can be placed in the center of the screen, where the initial explosions happen, and then moved across to explore other fireworks.
As the fireworks begin to explode, one of five nozzles(喷嘴) at the back of the screen starts to send out water, creating shaking movements. One specializes in the “blooming(开花) flower effect,” while another reproduces the“crackle(噼啪声)” effect. The rest take care of rockets and explosions. A computer controls the timing, while a Microsoft Kinect camera tracks the person’s movement. According to the inventors, Feeling Fireworks allows users to experience“tactile fireworks that are similar to physical fireworks happening in the sky.”
First appearing at the User Interface Software and Technology conference held in Quebec City, Canada from October 22 to October 25, 2017, the low-cost technology is still in its early stage, with only a 66 percent success rate. However, the team plans to continue-improving the experience and believes the day when everyone will be able to enjoy the thrill of fireworks shows is not far. When ready, Feeling Fireworks will initially be available only at Disney theme parks, and then hopefully, at fireworks shows worldwide.
46. What does the underlined word “That” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?
A. The New Year celebration.
B. The blind people's attitude.
C. The Disney Research Lab in Switzerland.
D. Some people’s having no access to fireworks shows.
47. What should blind people do to experience the fireworks show?
A. Move their hands around the screen. B. Pour some water onto the screen.
C. Stand at the back of the screen. D. Sit at the base of the screen.
48. What role does the Microsoft Kinect camera play during the fireworks show?
A. It tracks the explosions. B. It films the nozzles’ work.
C. It follows the users’ actions. D. It records the movement of water.
49. What can be inferred about the Feeling Fireworks technology?
A. It is in its final stage. B. It is extremely costly.
C. It is being used widely. D. It is in need of perfecting.
50. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To discuss methods to treat blindness.
B. To introduce the idea of tactile fireworks.
C. To appeal for equal rights for blind people.
D. To present a new Disney sightseeing show

例题1：（2008年全国卷C篇）
…
The theory is supported by the facts that, so far, none of the stolen cars have been returned. Also, the amount of money demanded-under 3,000 Taiwanese dollars –seems too little for a car worth many times more.
Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story. And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal. “We have more important things to do, ” he said.
52. The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to .
A. criminals B. pigeons C. the stolen cars D. demands for money
答案与解析：选D。从文中最后一段可知，they 应当对应该段前面的“Demands for pigeon-delivered money”。该部分大意为“媒体报道这些事件之后，发案率有所下降。即使demands for money的势头有所上升，陈表明，捉住罪犯也没什么希望，因为他们（警察）有更重要的事要做。”。

Eating chips, chocolates and cakes may damage a child’s intelligence, according to researchers at Bristol University. Their study suggests a link between diet high in processed(加工的) food and a slightly lower IQ. Writing in the journal of Epidemiology and Community health, they suggest poor
nutrition may affect brain development.
The eating habits of 3,966 children taking part in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children were recorded at the ages of three, four, seven and eight and a half. The researchers said three types of diet appeared: processed diet which was high in fat, sugar and fast food, traditional diet of meat, potatoes and vegetables, and healthy diet of salads, fruit and fish. The children all took IQ tests when they were eight and a half.
The researchers found a link between IQ and diet, even after taking into consideration other factors such as the mother’s level of education and social class. Diet high in processed food at the age of three was linked to a slightly lower IQ at the age of eight and a half, suggesting early eating habits have a long-term influence. Dr Pauline Emmett, who carried out the study at Bristol University, said, “Brain development is much faster in early life, and it’s when it does most of its growing.”
Although the relationship between diet and IQ was very strong, the influence was quite small. Processed food was linked with IQs only a few points lower. Experts in the field said the results had shown common sense was right. Fiona Ford, spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association, said, “It’s well worth looking at the long-term influence of diet, for everyone’s familiar with the short term. The research agrees with the type of advice we already know, but that’s not always enough. Sometimes a society has to help a person change; we need to educate more young parents about healthy eating.”
51. All the following can lead to a slightly lower IQ except ___________.
A. birthday cakes B. fruit salad
C. chocolates D. KFC food
52. The longest period of the research on eating habits might reach ____________.
A. one year and a half B. two years and a half
C. four years and a half D. five years and a half
53. What does the underlined sentence mean in the third paragraph?
A. The brain grows all the time in one’s life.
B. People grow quickly physically in early life.
C. The brain development mainly happens at the early stages.
D. For most people the development of the brain finishes in early life.
54. Which of the following agrees with Fiona Ford’s opinion?
A. Diet affects people’s intelligence greatly.
B. The research has shown the short-term influence of diet.
C. The British Dietetic Association has predicted the results of the research.
D. The British Dietetic Association has a duty to encourage young parents to adopt healthy diet.
55. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Processed food reduces children’s intelligence.
B. Healthy food makes children grow rapidly.
C. Eating habits change children’s intelligence.
D. Proper diet makes children wise and healthy.
【答案】51. B 52. D 53. C 54. D 55. A

细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Diet high in processed food at the age of three was linked to a slightly lower IQ at the age of eight and a half, suggesting early eating habits have a long-term influence.”可知高度加工的食物与更低的智商有关系，根据第二段第二句可知ACD三项都属于高脂肪、高糖和快餐类的高度加工的食物。而fruit salad属于健康食物，会导致较高的智商。故B项符合题意。
【52题详解】

It’s becoming more and more common for people to live to 100 or longer. In fact, researchers say that more than a third of all babies now born in wealthy nations are likely to reach their 100th birthdays, thanks to advanced medical technology and treatment. Here are some of the best strategies for becoming a centenarian.
Eat vegetables and nuts. A study found that those who ate mainly vegetables gained an extra year and a half over meat-eaters; those who ate nuts regularly lived two years longer.
Make friends. Another study found that people with strong social networks were 50 percent less likely to die over a certain period. If you don’t have many friends or relatives in your local community, you can join in the voluntary activities or take part in a hobby group. You will stay happy and healthy through building the connections.
Don’t smoke. This is important: With occasional exceptions, smokers die younger than non-smokers. Even if you have had the habit for decades, quitting will help with your health greatly. It’s important to get your loved ones to stop it, too. People who breathed in secondhand smoke were 26 percent more likely to get heart disease than those who rarely stayed with smokers.
Improve your lifestyle. Along with healthy eating, you should focus on stress management, regular exercise, and building healthy relationships. When you eat more healthily, manage stress, exercise and love more, your brain actually gets more blood flow and more oxygen.
Have a sense of purpose. A study found that the common feature in communities with many people who are 100 or older was that older people still took part in daily life, through tasks such as cooking, cleaning and gardening. They feel the motivation(动机) to stay active, to get out of bed in the morning and live for a purpose.
56. What does the text mainly talk about? (No more than 8 words.)
57. Please explain the underlined word “centenarian” in English? (No more than 8 words.)
58. Why is secondhand smoke harmful to people according to the passage? (15 words.)
59. How can we make friends if we don’t have many friends or relatives nearby in the author’s opinion? (No more than 10 words)
60. If you want to live longer, which of the strategies do you think is the best and why?(No more than 25 words.)
【答案】56. Strategies for becoming a centenarian./ How to live more than 100 years old. /Tips on how to becoming a centenarian.
57. A person who can live more than 100 years old./A person living to 100 or longer.
58. Because they were 26 percent more likely to get heart disease.
59. We can join in/take part in the voluntary activities or a hobby group./By joining in /taking part in the voluntary activities or a hobby group.
60. I like making friends best. Because I can share my happiness and sorrow with them and we can help each other to go through the worst days.
【解析】

【57题详解】
猜测词义题。根据划线词的前一句“In fact, researchers say that more than a third of all babies now born in wealthy nations are likely to reach their 100th birthdays, thanks to advanced medical technology and treatment.”可知由于先进的医疗技术，三分之一出生于发达国家的孩子可能活过100岁。文章介绍的是成为百岁老人的具体建议，故该词意为“百岁老人”，故答案可以为A person who can live more than 100 years old./A person living to 100 or longer.
【58题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“People who breathed in secondhand smoke were 26 percent more likely to get heart disease than those who rarely stayed with smokers.”可知吸二手烟要比那些很少接触香烟的人患心脏病的可能性要更高，比率达到百分之26。故答案可以为Because they were 26 percent more likely to get heart disease.
【59题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“If you don’t have many friends or relatives in your local community, you can join in the voluntary activities or take part in a hobby group.”可知我们可以通过参加志愿活动或参加兴趣小组，通过各种活动交到更多的朋友。故答案可以为We can join in/take part in the voluntary activities or a hobby group./By joining in /taking part in the voluntary activities or a hobby group.
【60题详解】
本题是一个开放性的话题，仁者见仁智者见智。考生可以从2-5段中提及的5个建议中选择一个，并给出具体的原因。故答案可以为I like making friends best. Because I can share my happiness and sorrow with them and we can help each other to go through the worst days.
