Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur(创业者), who in May 2015 set up her business
AilieCandy. By the time she was 13, her company was worth millions of dollars with
the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids’ teeth, instead of
destroying them.
It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered
a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth.
But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning,
“Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it?” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own
candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about
what a healthier candy would contain.
With her dad’s permission, she spent the next two years researching online and
conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also
approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently, she succeeded
in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral
bacteria.
Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground. Afterwards, she
and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who
finally agreed to sell Moore’s product—CanCandy.
As CanCandy’s success grows, so does Moore’s credibility as a young entrepreneur.
Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and she’s also positive about
what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a
broad smile.
Meanwhile, with her parents’ help, Moore is generally able to live a normal
teenage life. Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasn’t driven
primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their
smiles. She donates 10% of AilicCandy’s profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and
determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.
4. How did Moore react to her dad’s warning?
A. She argued with him. B. She tried to find a way out.
C. She paid no attention. D. She chose to consult dentists.
5. What is special about CanCandy?
A. It is beneficial to dental health. B. It is free of sweeteners.
C. It is sweeter than other candies. D. It is produced to a dentists’
recipe.
6. What does Moore expect from her business?
A. To earn more money. B. To help others find smiles.
C. To make herself stand out. D. To beat other candy companies.7. What can we learn from Alice Moore’s story?
A. Fame is a great thirst of the young.
B. A youth is to be regarded with respect.
C. Positive thinking and action result in success.
D. Success means getting personal desires satisfied

C
The Scottish composer Evelyn Glennie lost nearly all her hearing as a young girl,
yet w ent on to a very successful career in music including winning Grammy awards.
When somebody asks her, “How do you hear?” She responds, “How do you hear? Is it
的only with your ears?” For Glennie, and for us too, listening is not only hearing;
it is understanding. We need to listen to w hat is said and unsaid, and also how it
is said.
It’s important to hear what people say accurately. As Mark Twain said, “The
difference betw een the right word and the almost right word is the difference between
lightning and the lightning bug (萤火虫).” If you miss something or you’re not sure
you’ve heard accurately, ask the speakers. At this point you’re not evaluating,
just looking for accuracy and understanding. Here are some ways to get clear about
what they say and don’t say. Why are they saying this now, instead of sooner or later?
Why are they emphasizing these points, instead of something else?
Listen to how it is said. People send signals about what they mean with their
voices and body language that sometimes differ from the words they say. While going
through the next points, think about someone whose real meaning you might sometimes
miss, and see if any of these signals might come up. First, voices. When others speak,
notice changes in their volume, pace, and tone. Second, body language. Notice gestures,
eye contact, and facial expressions. Do these sync what they are saying, or do they
tell a different story? Third, emotions. What is the person apparently feeling? Now
you might not know for sure, but be considerate, open to understanding, and ask
thoughtful questions.
8. What’s the writer ’s purpose of mentioning Evelyn Glennie?
A. To give an example of wise words.
B. To introduce a world-famous musician.
C. To help explain the meaning of listening.
D. To encourage us to fight against disability.
9. What can we learn from what Mark Twain said?
A. It is important to have a good knowledge of English words.
B. People should know words can be used in many different ways.
C. English is a very complicated language with a large vocabulary.
D. Slight difference between words may result in misunderstanding.
10. What does the underlined word “sync” probably mean?A. Match. B. Prove.
C. Describe. D. Analyze.
11. Which is the best title of this passage?
A. Speak While You Listen B. Listen Beyond Words
C. Read Betw een Lines D. Think As You Talk
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。 文章讲述了聆听的内涵。我们要听懂说话人想要表达的言外之意,
并且要注意说话方式。
【8 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段 For Glennie, and for us too, listening is not only hearing; it
is understanding. 可知,对于 Glennie 和“我们”来说,聆听不仅是用耳朵听而且是理解,
这里说明了聆听的内涵。所以选项 C 正确。故选 C。
【9 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段 It’s important to hear what people say accurately. 和 At this
point you’re not evaluating, just looking for accuracy and understanding. 可知,
准确听懂说话者的意思很重要。因此,选项 D “词语的细微差异可能导致误解”与 Mark
Twain 所说的话意思相吻合。故选 D。
【10 题详解】
词义猜测题。画线词前的修饰词 these 指代前一句中的“gestures, eye contact,and
facial expressions”(手势、眼神交流和面部表情) ;再根据划线词后的“what they are
saying, or do they tell a different story?”( 他们在说什么,还是在讲一个不同的故事?)
可推断出,match 与画线词意思相近。故选 A。
【11 题详解】
主旨大意题。本文主要说明通过观察说话人的说话方式来听懂说话人想表达的言外之意。所
以这篇文章最好的标题是“听言外之意”,故选 B。
D
Making beers on the moon might seem like a pipe dream to many, but for a group
of students from the University of California at San Diego, there is a chance to take their research beyond Earth’s surface.
The Lab2Moon competition, held by TeamIndus, is offering students the chance to
secure a spot on the TeamIndus rocket this year.
Taking craft beer to the next level, the students want to test whether it’s
possible for yeast(酵母) to work and create beer on the moon. However, they believe
the experiment is not just a creative concept for astronauts, it’s also important
for the development of drugs and yeast-containing food, like bread.
“The idea started out with a few laughs among a group of friends,” said Neeki
Ashari, a fifth-year bioengineering students at UC San Diego. “We all appreciate
the craft beer. When we heard that there was an opportunity to design an experiment
that would go up on India’s moonlander, w e thought we could combine our hobby with
the competition by focusing on the practicality of yeast in outer space.”
The preparation work for the beer — up to the stage of adding yeast — will all
be done on Earth, and rather than separating the fermentation ( 发酵) and carbonation
stage of making beer, the team plans to combine them.
This removes the need to release CO2 accumulated in the process, which may result
in cleanliness and safety issues out in space.
If selected, Team Original Gravity will be the first to make beer in outer space,
and the fermentation will take place in a container no bigger than a soda can.
All teams competing for the place will showcase their ideas in Bangalore, India,
in March.
Sadly, you won’t be enjoying moon beer in your local craft beer bar anytime soon,
as no samples will be brought back. However, this small experiment could provide
important data on just how practical it is for us to make and create our own resources
on other planets and moons by learning how consumables (消耗品) behave in different
environments.
12. How did the students feel when they got the chance to design the experiment ?
A. Excited. B. Nervous.
C. Confident. D. Casual.
13. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 6 refer to?A. The mixing of two stages. B. Adding yeast on Earth.
C. The preparation work on Earth. D. Fermentation and carbonation.
14. What can we learn about the experiment from the passage?
A. It has been designed based on similar experiments.
B. It’s quite competitive compared with other designs.
C. It’s design has already been approved by TeamIndus.
D. Its process was adapted to make it safer and greener.
15. What does the author think of the students ’ idea?
A. It seems like a pipe dream. B. It’s extremely complicated.
C. It’s meaningful and hopeful. D. It’s creative but impractical.
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章主要讲了对许多人来说,在月球上酿造啤酒似乎是天方夜谭,
但对于一群来自加州大学圣地亚哥分校的学生来说,这是一个将他们的研究带出地球表面的
机会。
【12 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段 Making beers on the moon might seem like a pipe dream to
many, but for a group of students from the University of California at San Diego,
there is a chance to take their research beyond Earth’s surface.(对许多人来说,
在月球上酿造啤酒似乎是天方夜谭,但对于一群来自加州大学圣地亚哥分校的学生来说,这
是一个将他们的研究带出地球表面的机会。)由此推断出,当学生们有机会设计实验时,他们
感觉很兴奋,故选 A。
【13 题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文 The preparation work for the beer — up to the stage of adding
yeast — will all be done on Earth, and rather than separating the fermentation (
发酵) and carbonation stage of making beer, the team plans to combine them.可知,
啤酒的准备工作——直到添加酵母的阶段——都将在地球上完成,而不是将酿造啤酒的发酵
和碳酸化阶段分开,团队计划将它们结合起来。所以通过上下文的语境可以判断出。“This”
指的是两个过程的混合,故选 A。
【14 题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第四段 This removes the need to release CO2 accumulated in the
process, which may result in cleanliness and safety issues out in space.(这消除了
释放过程中积累的二氧化碳的需要,这可能会导致清洁和安全问题。)由此推断出,我们能从
文章中了解到这次实验的生产过程经过了调整,使其更安全、更环保,故选 D。
15 题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段 However, this small experiment could provide important data
on just how practical it is for us to make and create our own resources on other planets
and moons by learning how consumables (消耗品) behave in different environments.(然而,
通过了解消耗品在不同环境中的行为,这个小实验可以为我们提供重要的数据,告诉我们在
其他行星和卫星上制造和创造我们自己的资源有多实际。)由此推断出,作者认为这些学生的
想法有意义和充满希望,故选 C。

第二节(共 10 小题;每小题 1.5 分,满分 15 分)
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。
A Japanese company has just invented Pepper, a human-like robot. It has arms and

companies have been creating robots for various purposes, very little has been done

do just that .
【答案】41. has
42. commands
43. to 44. a
45. is connected
46. to crash
47. behavior/behaviour
48. rapidly
49. largest
50. While/Although/Though
【解析】
这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了日本发明的机器人 Pepper。
【41 题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。此处介绍的是一种客观情况,故需用一般现在时;又因句子的主语
Pepper 为第三人称单数,故其谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式,所以填 has。
【42 题详解】
考查名词单复数。句意:Pepper 的胸口有一个显示器,你可以在这个显示器中输入许多不同
的指令。根据空前的"many different"和提示词 command 作"命令,指令"讲时为可数名词可
知,此处应用其复数形式,所以填 commands。
【43 题详解】
考查介词。句意:它也可以阅读,回答问题并对人们的情感作出回应。react to"对……作
出反应",为固定用法,所以填 to。
【44 题详解】考查冠词。句意:Pepper 通过面部和语音识别软件等一系列摄像头获取信息。a series of"
一系列……"为固定用法,所以填 a。
【45 题详解】
考查时态和语态。此处应用一般现在时表示客观情况;再结合动词 connect 与主语 It (指代
Pepper)之间为被动关系可知,此处应用其被动语态,所以填 is connected。
【46 题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:特殊的安全性能使得这个软件几乎不可能崩溃。it 是形式宾语,真
正的宾语是后面的不定式结构,所以填 to crash。
【47 题详解】
考查名词。句意:Pepper 是一个学习型机器人,它在识别人类行为方面变得越来越好。分析
句子结构可知,空处应用名词作宾语,所以填 behavior/behaviour。
【48 题详解】
考查副词。该空修饰形容词 aging,用副词,所以填 rapidly。
【49 题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:日本是世界上最大的机器人市场之一。one of the + 形容词最高
级 + 名词复数结构,表示“最……之一”,所以填 largest。
【50 题详解】
考查让步状语从句。句意:尽管许多公司一直在为各种各样的目的创造机器人,但很少有人
让机器人在情感层面上工作。表示“尽管”,所以填 While/Although/Though。
第四部分写作(共两节,满分 35 分)
第一节短文改错(共 10 小题;每小题 l 分,满分 10 分)
51.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有
10 处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧),并在其下面写出该加的词。删除:把多余的词用斜线
(\)划掉。 修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词。
注意:1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词;
2. 只允许修改 10 处,多者 (从第 11 处起) 不计分。
While I was considering what food to buy in a store, a young man worked there
asked me how I was doing. As usual, I told truth. He said, “I’ll be right back.” I thought he was another person who thought I talked too many, and politely excuse
himself. I was heading out while he came back and handed to me a beautiful bunch of
flowers. Tied to him was a note saying “Have a Happy New Year”. The act of this
young man almost moved me to tear. It had been an extreme difficult day. My heart
was hurt and an angel came to treat me with kindness.
【答案】第一处: worked→working 或在 worked 前面加 who / that。
第二处: truth 前面加 the
第三处: many→much
第四处: excuse→excused
第五处: while→when
第六处: 去掉 to
第七处: him→it
第八处: tear→tears
第九处: extreme→extremely
第十处: and→but
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了在作者非常艰难的一天中,一位店员送给作者一束写有“新
年快乐”的鲜花,作者感动得流泪。
【详解】第一处:考查非谓语动词或定语从句。“一个年轻人”和“在那里工作”之间主动
关系,用现在分词作定语,所以 worked 改成 working;这里含有一个定语从句,修饰先行词 a
young man,关系词在从句中作主语,指人,所以在 worked 前面加 who / that。
第二处:考查冠词。句意:像往常一样,我说了实话。特指的抽象名词前,用定冠词,所以 truth
前面加 the。
第三处:考查固定用法。句意:我以为他是另一个认为我话太多的人,礼貌地为自己找了个
借口。too many 意为“太多”,其后接可数名词的复数形式;too much 意为“太多”,其后接
不可数名词;还可作状语修饰动词,所以 many 改成 much。
第四处:考查时态。描述发生在过去的事情,用一般过去时,所以 excuse 改成 excused。
第五处:考查连词。句意:我正要出门,他回来了,递给我一束漂亮的花。when 表示“当……
的时候”。从句中既可用延续性动词,又可用非延续性动词,这些动词既可以表示动作,又可表示状态,常跟一般过去时。while 表示“在……的时候”“在……期间”。while 从句中必
须是表示动作或状态的延续性动词,常跟过去进行时。从句中的谓语 came back 为非延续性动
词,所以 while 改成 when。
第六处:考查固定短语。句意:我正要出门,他回来了,递给我一束漂亮的花。hand sb.
sth.递给某人某物,固定短语,所以去掉 to。
第七处:考查代词。句意:系着一张纸条,上面写着“新年快乐”。指代上文提到的“a beautiful
bunch of flowers”,所以 him 改成 it。
第八处:考查固定短语。句意:这个年轻人的行为几乎使我感动得流泪。move sb. to
tears. 使某人感动得流泪,该短语是固定短语,所以 tear 改成 tears。
第九处:考查副词。句意:这是极其艰难的一天。修饰形容词 difficult,用副词,所以 extreme
改成 extremely。
第十处:考查连词。句意:我的心受到伤害,但一位天使来善待我。文中表示转折关系,所
以 and 改成 but。
【点睛】小题 3 考查 too many, too much 用法的区别。too many, too much 和 much too 在使用
时容易混淆。下面谈谈它们的用法:
这三个词语的主要区别在于它们的中心词以及它们所修饰的词不同。三者之中的前一个词都
是修饰词,用来加强语气,后一个词是中心词。因此,在使用时只需要考虑后一个词的用法
就行了。分述如下:
一、too many 的中心词是 many, 用法与 many 相同,用来修饰复数可数名词。例如:
He's got too many questions to ask you. 他有很多问题要问你。
They bought too many eggs yesterday. 昨天他们买了太多的鸡蛋。
二、too much 的中心词是 much, 用法与 much 相同,用来修饰不可数名词。例如:
We both have too much work to do. 我们俩都有很多工作要做。
She spent too much money on clothes. 她花太多钱买衣服。
The teacher told him not to spend too much time playing games.
老师叫他不要花太多时间玩游戏。
I'm afraid that I've given you too much trouble. 恐怕我太麻烦你了。
另外, too much 还可作名词性短语,用作宾语; 也可作副词性短语,在句中用作状语,修饰
动词。例如:
You've given me too much. 你给我的太多了。I have too much to do every day, so I am very busy.
我每天都有很多事情要做,所以我很忙。
He talked too much at the meeting, didn't he? 他在会上讲得太多了,是吗?
Don't eat too much. 不要吃得太多。
三、much too 的中心词是 too, 用法与 too 相同,用来修饰原级形容词或副词。例如:
You're walking much too fast. Slow down. 你走得太快了, 慢点。
I'm afraid that this cap is much too big for me. 这顶帽子我戴恐怕太大了。
It's much too cold outside. You'd better put on your overcoat.
外面太冷了, 你最好把大衣穿上。
根据该题句意“他吃了太多的事物,因此他很胖”可知,该题正确答案为 D 项。
