【1 题详解】
细节理解题。根据 Drayton Manor Theme Park, Staffordshire 部分的 The new Tamarin Trail takes adventurers
through beautiful gardens, allowing kids and adults to come face-to-face with a troop of monkeys.(Tamarin Trail 让
冒险者穿越美丽的花园,让孩子和大人与一群猴子面对面)可知,喜欢动物的孩子们可以去德雷顿庄园主
题公园。故选 C。
【2 题详解】
细节理解题。根据 Thorpe Park, Surrey 部分的 Adults from £28, children from £24(under -3s free)可知,一对
夫妇的门票是 28*2=56,三岁以下的孩子是免费的,因此一对夫妇带着他们两岁的儿子在索普公园至少应该
付 56 英镑。故选 A。
【3 题详解】
细节理解题。根据四个公园的最后一句可知,这些公园的共同点是对于 2 岁或者 3 岁以下的孩子免费入园,
所以这些公园的共同点是有些孩子可以免费进入公园。故选 D。
B
“I believe in holding onto traditions because they helped our family flourish(兴旺)in a new country. But this
concept is more concretely expressed this way: I believe in feeding monkeys on my birthday — something I’ve done
without fail for 35 years.
In the Burmese jungle, monkeys are as common as pigeons. But in America, feeding monkeys means violating
the rules.
As a kid, I thought that was cool. I learned English through watching bad television shows and expected that I
was the chosen warrior(勇士)sent to defend my family. Dad and I would go to the zoo early in the morning, just
the two of us. When the Coast was clear, I would throw my peanuts to the monkeys.
I never had to explain myself until my 18th birthday. It was the first year I didn’t go with my father. I went with
my friends and arrived 10 minutes after the zoo gates closed. “Please,” I begged the zookeeper, “I feed monkeys for
my family, not for me. Can’t you make an exception?” “Go find a pet store,” she said.
If only it were so easy. That time, I got lucky. I found out that a high school classmate trained the monkeys for
the movie Out of Africa, so he allowed me to feed his monkeys. Once a man with a pet monkey suspected that my
story was a ploy — that I was an animal rights activist out to liberate his monkey. Another time, a zoo told me that
outsiders could not feed the monkeys without violating the zookeepers’ collective bargaining agreement. Once in a
pet store, I managed to feed a marmoset(狨)being kept in a birdcage. Another time, I was asked to wear a special
suit to feed a laboratory monkey.
It’s rarely easy and, yet, somehow I’ve found a way to feed a monkey every year since I was born.
4. Why has the author fed monkeys all these years?
A. To please his father.
B. To develop a new hobby.
C. To celebrate his birthday.
D. To keep up his family tradition.
5. How did the author and his father feed the zoo monkeys?
A. They did it in a secret way.
B. They pretended to be warriors.
C. They did it with the help of friends.
D. They got the zookeeper’s permission.
6. What does the underlined word “ploy” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Joke. B. Trick.
C. Excuse. D. Adventure.
7. How is the fifth paragraph mainly developed?
A. By providing examples. B. By giving explanations.
C. By following time order. D. By making comparisons.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲了作者在过去的 35 年里为了延续家族传统一直坚持喂猴子,但因为在美国喂猴
子是犯法的,作者从儿时起总是想方设法地去喂猴子。在喂猴子时发生了许多趣事。
【4 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的 I believe in holding onto traditions because they helped our family flourish(兴旺)in
a new country.(我相信要坚持传统,因为它们帮助我们的家庭在一个新的国家兴旺发达)可知,此处的“它
们”指的是下文提到的 monkeys,可见作者这么多年来一直喂猴子的原因是保持他的家庭传统。故选 D。
【5 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的 But in America, feeding monkeys means violating the rules.(但是在美国,给猴子
喂食意味着违反规定)和第三段的 Dad and I would go to the zoo early in the morning, just the two of us. When
the Coast was clear, I would throw my peanuts to the monkeys.(爸爸和我会一大早去动物园,就我们两个。如果
没有危险,我就会把花生丢给猴子)可知,在美国给猴子喂食违反规定,作者和他的父亲早早去动物园,
如果没有危险就会把花生丢给猴子,所以作者和父亲是用秘密的方式去味动物园里的猴子。故选 A。
【6 题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段的 Once a man with a pet monkey suspected that my story was a ploy — that I was an
animal rights activist out to liberate his monkey.(有一次,一个带着一只宠物猴子的男人怀疑我的故事是一个
计谋——我是一个动物权利活动家,想让他的猴子摆脱束缚)可知,居中的破折号后的句子是一个同位语
从句,用来解释说明 ploy 的内容,作者在讲述自己的一个故事,却被人误以为自己是一名动物权利活动家,
自己的故事被误以为是一个计谋,故划线的 ploy 相当于 trick(计谋、诡计),故选 B。
【7 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段的 That time, .... Once a man with a pet monkey ... Another time, ... Once
in a pet store, .... Another time, ]....可知,作者为了延续家族传统,在法律规定的边缘游走着,小心
翼翼地去获取喂猴子的机会,但这并不是每次都那么顺利,作者列举了几个自己跌跌撞撞喂猴子的经历,
由此判断出,第五段主要是通过提供例子展开的。故选 A。
【点睛】词义猜测题的答题技巧之一是在划线词或词组后观察是否有破折号或同位语从句,破折号起解释
说明的作用,同位语从句则是用来解释从句前的名词的内容。比如第 3 题,根据第五段的 Once a man with
a pet monkey suspected that my story was a ploy — that I was an animal rights activist out to
liberate his monkey.(有一次,一个带着一只宠物猴子的男人怀疑我的故事是一个计谋——我是一个动物
权利活动家,想让他的猴子摆脱束缚)可知,居中的破折号后的句子是一个同位语从句,用来解释说明 ploy
的内容,作者在讲述自己的一个故事,却被人误以为自己是一名动物权利活动家,自己的故事被误以为是
一个计谋,故划线的 ploy 相当于 trick(计谋、诡计),故选 B。
C
“While extroverts(性格外向者)often make great first impressions with their outgoing manner and lively
personalities in interviews, their value and reputation at work diminish(缩减)over time,” says Corinne Bendersky,
an associate professor of Management.
“Extroverts disappoint us over time when they are part of a team,” Bendersky says. “On a team you’re expected
to work hard and contribute a lot. But they are often poor listeners, and they don’t collaborate.”
“On the other hand introverts(性格内向者)work hard on a team because they care what others think of
them. They don’t want to be seen as not pulling their weight or contributing 100%,” Bendersky says.
So while companies may be attracted to hiring extroverts because they impress managers greatly in job
interviews, bosses also may want to consider whether the extrovert they are considering will be a valuable team
player, Bendersky says.
Amy Jen Su and Muriel Maignan Wilkins, two writers agree and say managers should recognize the strengths of
introverted employees, such as their ability to put themselves in someone else’s shoes.
“These team members are often easy-going, which can make them exceptional mentors to more junior staff or
particularly good sounding boards when you interact with them in one-on-one situations,” Su says.
“Managers must try to help introverts find their voice,” Wilkins says. “Help them see that speaking up is not
about self-promotion or being in conflict but rather about offering the team key insights, making better decisions or
increasing the efficiency for all.”
What about those extroverts who never seem to be at a loss for words? Should managers cut them off? Managers
definitely should weigh in on how an extrovert is affecting others. Wilkins suggests saying something in private to
make adjustments.
8. What do we know about outgoing people according to Bendersky?
A. They are good listeners.
B. They are good at cooperating.
C. They often make great contributions.
D. They tend to perform well in interviews.
9. Which can best replace the underlined part “pulling their weight” in Paragraph 3?
,
A. Making the team lag.
B. Making good choices.
C. Doing their full share of work.
D. Trying to share their thoughts.
10. What is Su’s attitude towards Bendersky’s words?
A. Critical. B. Tolerant.
C. Doubtful. D. Approving.
11. What does Wilkins advise managers to do?
A. Promote more introverts.
B. Learn to work more efficiently.
C. Encourage introverts to speak up.
D. Avoid conflict among employees.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. C
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了外向型员工和内向型员工拥有的特质,外向型员工虽在面试中容易留下好
印象,但内向型员工更具有团队精神和奉献精神。并鼓励内向的员工人说出自己的想法,并对外向型员工
私下进行调整。
【8 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的 While extroverts(性格外向者)often make great first impressions with their
outgoing manner and lively personalities in interviews(外向的人在面试中往往以他们外向的举止和活泼的个
性给人留下良好的第一印象)由此判断出,根据 Bendersky 的观点,外向的人倾向于面试中表现良好。故选
D。
【9 题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段的 On the other hand, introverts(性格内向者)work hard on a team because they care
what others think of them. They don’t want to be seen as not pulling their weight or contributing 100%(内向的人在
团队中努力工作是因为他们在乎别人对他们的看法。他们不想被认为没有 pulling their weight 或没有百
分之百的贡献)可知,划线所在的句子和前句是顺承关系,前句提到内向的人在乎别人的看法,不想被认
为自己没有尽本分,由此可知,pulling their weight 意为“做好自己的分内工作”,故 C 项(做好自己的分
内工作)是替代第 3 段的划线部分最好的选项。故选 C。
【10 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段的 Amy Jen Su and Muriel Maignan Wilkins, two writers agree and say managers should
recognize the strengths of introverted employees(Amy Jen Su 和 Muriel Maignan Wilkins 两位作家都同意这一
观点,并表示管理者应该认识到内向员工的优点)由此判断出,Su 对 Bendersky 的话持赞同的态度。故选 D
。
【11 题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的 Managers must try to help introverts find their voice(管理者必须努力帮助内向
的人找到自己的声音)可知,Wilkins 鼓励内向的人说出自己的想法。故选 C。
D
Imagine you’re standing in line to buy an after-school snack at a store. You step up to the counter and the cashier
scans your food. Next, you have to pay. But instead of scanning a QR code (二维码) with your smartphone, you just
hold out your hand so the cashier can scan your fingerprint. Or, a camera scans your face, your eyes or even your ear.
Now, this type of technology might not be far away. As technology companies move away from the traditional
password, biometric(生物识别的) security, which includes fingerprint, face and voice ID, is becoming increasingly
popular.
In 2013, Apple introduced the iPhone 5s, one of the first smartphones with a fingerprint scanner. Since then,
using one’s fingerprint to unlock a phone and make mobile payments has become commonplace, bringing
convenience to our lives. And since last year, Samsung has featured eye-scanning technology in its top smartphones,
while Apple’s new iPhone X can even scan a user’s face. But despite its popularity, experts warn that biometrics
might not be as secure as we’d imagined. “Biometrics are ideally good, but in practice, not so much” said John
Michener, a biometrics expert.
When introducing the new iPhone’s Face ID feature, Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president, said, “The
chance that a random person in the population could look at your iPhone X and unlock it with their face is about one
in a million.” But it’s already been done. In a video posted on community website Reddi, two brothers showed how
they were each able to unlock the same iPhone X using their own face. And they aren’t even twins.
“We may expect too much from biometrics,” Anil Jain, a computer science professor at Michigan State
University, told CBS News. “No security systems are perfect.”
Earlier this year, Jain found a way to trick biometric security. Using a printed copy of a thumbprint, she was able
to unlock a dead person’s smartphone for police, according to tech website Splinter. “It’s good to see biometrics
being used more,” Jain told CBS News, “because it adds another factors for security. But using multiple security
measures is the best defense.”
12. What is the latest technology to unlock a smartphone according to the article?
A. QR code scanning. B. Face scanning. C. Fingerprint scanning. D. Eye scanning.
13. What’s a major problem of the iPhone X’s Face ID system?
A. It takes too long to unlock the phone.
B. It often fails to recognize its owner’s face.
C. Face data could be used for other purposes.
D. Different faces could be used to unlock the same phone.
14. What does Anil Jain think of biometric security?
A. It’s as secure as traditional measures.
B. It has caused much trouble for police.
C. It should be used with other security measures.
D. It is perfect without any room for improvement.
15. The author wrote this article mainly to ______.
A. describe the popularity of biometrics
B. show how biometrics has changed our lives
C. point out various problems with biometrics
D. discuss the security problems of biometrics
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
本文是一篇新闻报道,近年来生物识别技术被广泛运用,如指纹、眼部扫描以及脸部扫描,人们认为这些
系统非常安全,但实际情况并非如此,生物识别安全系统并不是完全安全,文章中列举了很多人对生物识
别技术的观点。
【12 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“And since last year, Samsung has featured eye-scanning technology in its top
smartphones, while Apple’s new iPhone X can even scan a user’s face.”可知,自去年以来,三星在其顶级智能手
机中加入了眼球扫描技术,而苹果的新款 iPhone X 甚至可以扫描用户的面部。所以解锁智能手机的最新技
术是面部扫描。故 B 项正确。
【13 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“In a video posted on community website Reddi, two brothers showed how they
were each able to unlock the same iPhone X using their own face. And they aren’t even twins.”可知有两个兄弟用自
己的脸解锁了对方的苹果手机,而且他们还不是双胞胎。由此判断出脸部识别并不安全,故 D 项正确。
【14 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段 We may expect too much from biometrics,” Anil Jain, a computer science professor at
Michigan State University, told CBS News. “No security systems are perfect.”可知 Anil Jain 认为人们对生物识别
期望太高了,没有一种安全系统是完美的。再根据最后两句“It’s good to see biometrics being used more,” Jain
told CBS News, “because it adds another factors for security. But using multiple security measures is the best
defense.” 可知生物识别安全认为我们应该使用多样化的安全防范保证安全。所以 Anil Jain,认为生物识别
安全应该与其他安全措施一起使用。故 C 项正确。
【15 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段 But despite its popularity, experts warn that biometrics might not be as
secure as we’d imagined.但是,尽管它很受欢迎,专家警告说,生物识别技术可能并不像我们想象的那
样安全。根据第四段 No security systems are perfect.没有安全系统是完美的。根据最后一段 But using
multiple security measures is the best defense.但是使用多种安全措施是最好的防御。由此判断出作者写这篇文
章主要是为了讨论生物识别的安全问题。故 D 项正确。
第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 10 分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to protect your ears
You and your friends are leaving a concert on a Friday night. When you get outside, your ears are ringing. You
have to shout to be heard. ___16___ So no harm done…right?
Not quite. Temporary buzzing may be easy to ignore, but repeated exposure to loud noise will eventually cause
serious--- and irreversible(无法治愈的)--- hearing loss. A new study conducted by researchers at Brigham and
Women’s Hospital in Boston shows that one in five people between the ages of 12 and 19 are experiencing slight
hearing loss, and one in 20 have mild hearing loss. ___17___But the good news is that there plenty of ways you can
protect your ears from further damage — and still listen to the music you love:
Ask around. Put your earbuds in or your headphones on, and then ask a friend next to you whether or not he or
she can hear what you’re listening to. ___18___Turn it down.
Buy noise-canceling headphones. A pair of earbuds or headphones that fits comfortably will limit outside
noise so that you can hear your music better at lower volumes.
Take breaks. ___19___ So when listening to music, take your headphones off for 15 or 20 minutes and let
your ears enjoy the quiet.
___20___You can buy a cheap pair at any drugstore as an easy way to lower volume at concerts — or while
playing or practicing your own music — without changing the quality of the sound.
A. Use earplugs.
B. Keep the volume below 70 percent.
C. If the answer is yes, your music is too loud.
D. But by morning, your hearing is totally back to normal.
E. Like every other part of your body, your ears need rest.
F. Unfortunately, there’s no way to get back hearing you’ve already lost.
G. The exposure to noise is louder and longer than in any previous generation.
【答案】16. D 17. F
18. C 19. E
20. A
【解析】
【分析】
本文为说明文。本文讲述听力损害的危害,研究表明当前 12 到 19 岁人群中五分之一的人听力受损现象严
峻,针对此现象本文提出了四大保护耳朵免受更深远损害的方法。
【16 题详解】
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据上句:当你听完音乐会走到外面,你的耳朵响。必须大声喊你
才能听见。空格下一句:所以你没受伤害。根据空前的耳朵听不见,到后面的没受伤害,可知前后是转折
的。分析选项可知 D 项(但是到第二天早上,你的听力完全恢复正常)符合题意,放入句中验证,符合题
意,故选 E。
【17 题详解】
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。空前说新的研究表明,有许多人的听力有不同程度的损伤。空格下
一句:但是有好消息,你可以有许多方法来保护你的听力免遭更深的伤害。可知前面应该再说:很遗憾,
你没有办法让你失去的听力恢复。故选 F。
【18 题详解】
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据上一句说“你戴上耳机听音乐,问你周围的人是否能听见,下
一句 Turn it down.关掉。可知上一句表达的是:如果回答是 yes,说明你的音乐声音太大。分析选项 C 项(如
果答案是肯定的,你的音乐太吵了),可知 C 项符合题意,故选 C。
【19 题详解】
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据此处的小标题 Take breaks 休息和下文 So when listening to music
,take your headphones off for 15or 20minutes and let your ears enjoy the quiet,关掉耳机 15-20 分钟,让耳朵享
受安静。可知应该表达的意思是:你的耳朵也需要休息。分析选项可知 E 项(就像你身体的其他部位一样,
你的耳朵需要休息)符合题意,故选 E.
【20 题详解】
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。此处需要填一个小标题。根据下一句 You can buy a cheap pair at any
drugstore as an easy way to lower volume at concerts-or while playing or practicing your own music-without
changing the quality of the sound。在音乐会上降低音量的一个简单的方法就是买一付便宜的耳塞,也不改变
声音的质量.分析选项可知 A 项有词 Use earplugs 的复现,且意义一致.可知此处的标题应该是:使用耳塞.
故选 A.
【点睛】七选五题型看似简单,实际上有时完全做对并不容易,需要方法技艺和分析能力。试题的位置不
同,解题策略也不同。
1.七选五题型空格的设计主要分布在句首、句中、句尾,另一种就是小标题的空格设计。凡是作为标题
的句子,一定要短小精悍,概括性强。比如第 5 小题,此处需要填一个小标题。根据下一句:在音乐会上
降低音量的一个简单的方法就是买一付便宜的耳塞,也不改变声音的质量分析选项可知 A 项有词 Use
earplugs 的复现,且意义一致,可知此处的标题应该是:使用耳塞。故选 A。
2.若问题是在段落中间,这时要瞻前顾后找启示,即阅读上一段结尾部分,通常正确答案与上文与下文
有机地衔接起来,看所选的答案是否将两段内容连贯起来。如第 2 小题,空前说新的研究表明,有许多人
的听力有不同程度的损伤。空格下一句:但是有好消息,你可以有许多方法来保护你的听力免遭更深的伤
害。可知前面应该再说:很遗憾,你没有办法让你失去的听力恢复。故选 F。
3.若问题在段尾。空白前的一句或两句是重点语句,重点阅读以锁定关键词。在做七选五时一定要注意
空格前后句子的暗示词,可以准确确定空格上的选项。比如第 3 小题,根据下一句 Turn it down.可知上一句
表达的是:如果回答是 yes,说明你的音乐声音太大。故选 C。关键词是 Turn down 把音量调小。
第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节,满分 45 分)
第一节:完形填空(共 20 小题;每小题 1.5 分,满分 30 分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和 D)中,选出可以填入空白处的

【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了新加坡南洋理工大学推出了一款社交机器人,介绍了这款叫做 Nadine 机器
人的特性。机器人在制造业得到了广泛的应用。
【41 题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这个名叫 Nadine 的机器人是由该大学的一个研究小组制造的。分析句子结构可知,空处
填冠词,再根据句意可以,此处的 research team 表示泛指,故用不定冠词,且 research 首字母的发音为辅
音音素。故填 a。
【42 题详解】
考查名词。句意:机器人可以表现出多种情绪,比如愤怒和悲伤,并根据谈论的话题变化成不同的情绪。
分析句子结构可知,空处填名词,作介词 like 宾语。sadness 是 sad 的名词形式,意为“悲伤”,故填 sadness
。
【43 题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:机器人可以表现出情绪,比如愤怒和悲伤,并根据谈论的话题变化成不同的情绪。
分析句子结构可知,空处填非谓语动词,又因为 depend 和逻辑主语 the robot 是主动关系,故用现在分词做
伴随状语,故填 depending。
【44 题详解】
考查时态。句意:Nadine 不仅能记住她以前见过的人,还能回忆起她在之前的谈话中说过的话。分析句子
结构可知,空处填时态,再根据语境可知,此处强调 Nadine 机器人能记住以前见过的人,强调的是 meet 这
个动作对现在造成的影响,再根据空后的 before 也可推知,又因主语是 she,故填 has met。
【45 题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:Nadine 不仅能记住她以前见过的人,还能回忆起她在之前的谈话中说过的话。

早些时候的”,故填 earlier。
【46 题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:到目前为止,机器人在制造业中得到了广泛的应用。分析句子结构可知,空处填时
态,再根据句中的 up to now 可知,此处用现在完成时,又因为 robot 和 use 之间是被动关系,所以用现在完
成时的被动语态,故填 have been used。
【47 题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:同时,我们也会发现越来越多的机器人具备了社交功能。分析句子结构可知,空
处填非谓语动词,因为 equip 和其逻辑主语 robots 是被动关系,所以用过去分词作 robots 的定语,故填
equipped。
【48 题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:工作机器人可以解决劳动力减少的问题。根据句意可知,solution to 是固定搭配,以
为“……的解决方法”,故填 to。

Dear Tom,
How is it going these days? I keep wondering what you feel about your school life in Beijing. I hope you have
got used to live in China. Let me tell you a piece of good news: I’m going to take active part in an English speech
competition in the coming summer vacation. I’m busy with preparing for it. But now I have some difficulties in
collecting useful information. And I can’t use proper English words to express my thoughts. However, I sincerely
hope you can give me some practical advice. In addition, I would visit you after the competition. That is no doubt that
we will have a wonderful time together! I can hard wait to see you.
Looking forward to you early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

第四处:去掉 with
第五处:difficulties→difficulty
第六处:However→Therefore
第七处:would→will
第八处:That→There
第九处:hard→hardly
第十处:you→your
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇应用文。李华写信询问 Tom 关于准备英语演讲比赛的一些建议。
【详解】第一处:考查宾语从句。句意:我一直想知道你对北京的学校生活感觉如何。分析句子结构可知,
wonder 后是宾语从句,what 在宾语从句中可充当主语或宾语,而从句中主干中不缺主语或宾语,再结合句
意可知,此处应用 how 做方式状语,故将 what 改为 how。
第二处:考查非谓语动词。句意:我希望你已经习惯了在中国生活。根据句意可知,be/get used to 意为“习
惯于”,其中to 是介词,其后用 doing,而 be used to do 意为“被用来做……”,与题意不符,故将live 改
为 living。
第三处:考查固定搭配。句意:在即将到来的暑假里,我要积极参加英语演讲比赛。take an active part in 是
固定搭配,意为“积极参加”,故在 take 后加 an。
第四处:考查固定搭配。句意:我正忙着准备呢。根据句意可知,be busy with 后直接加名词,意为“忙于
某事”,be busy (in) doing 意为“忙于做某事”,故去掉 with。
第五处:考查名词。句意:但现在我在收集有用信息方面有些困难。根据句意可知,have some difficulty (in)
doing sth.是固定搭配,意为“在做某事上有困难”,故将 difficulties 改为 difficulty。
第六处:考查副词。句意:我不能用适当的英语单词来表达我的想法。因此,我真诚地希望你能给我一些
实际的建议。根据句意可知,此处的两个句子是因果关系,而非转折关系,故将 However 改为 Therefore。
第七处:考查时态。句意:另外,比赛结束后我会去拜访你。根据句意可知,本句为一般将来时,而 would
do 是过去将来时,此处应用一般将来时,故将 would 改为 will。
第八处:考查固定句式。句意:毫无疑问,我们会度过一段美好的时光。根据句意可知,there is no doubt that
是固定句型,意为“毫无疑问的是……”,故将 That 改为 There。
第九处:考查副词。句意:我迫不及待地想见你。根据句意可知,hard 做副词时,意为“困难地”,can not/hardly
wait to do 是固定搭配,意为“迫不及待做……”,故将 hard 改为 hardly。
第十处:考查代词。句意:期待您的早日回复。分析句子结构可知,reply 是名词,其前应用形容词性物主
代词,故将 you 改为 your。

“I believe in holding onto traditions because they helped our family flourish(兴旺)in a new country. But this
concept is more concretely expressed this way: I believe in feeding monkeys on my birthday — something I’ve done
without fail for 35 years.
In the Burmese jungle, monkeys are as common as pigeons. But in America, feeding monkeys means violating
the rules.
As a kid, I thought that was cool. I learned English through watching bad television shows and expected that I
was the chosen warrior(勇士)sent to defend my family. Dad and I would go to the zoo early in the morning, just
the two of us. When the Coast was clear, I would throw my peanuts to the monkeys.
I never had to explain myself until my 18th birthday. It was the first year I didn’t go with my father. I went with
my friends and arrived 10 minutes after the zoo gates closed. “Please,” I begged the zookeeper, “I feed monkeys for
my family, not for me. Can’t you make an exception?” “Go find a pet store,” she said.
If only it were so easy. That time, I got lucky. I found out that a high school classmate trained the monkeys for
the movie Out of Africa, so he allowed me to feed his monkeys. Once a man with a pet monkey suspected that my
story was a ploy — that I was an animal rights activist out to liberate his monkey. Another time, a zoo told me that
outsiders could not feed the monkeys without violating the zookeepers’ collective bargaining agreement. Once in a
pet store, I managed to feed a marmoset(狨)being kept in a birdcage. Another time, I was asked to wear a special
suit to feed a laboratory monkey.
It’s rarely easy and, yet, somehow I’ve found a way to feed a monkey every year since I was born.
4. Why has the author fed monkeys all these years?
A. To please his father.
B. To develop a new hobby.
C. To celebrate his birthday.
D. To keep up his family tradition.
5. How did the author and his father feed the zoo monkeys?

B. They pretended to be warriors.
C. They did it with the help of friends.
D. They got the zookeeper’s permission.

C. Excuse. D. Adventure.
7. How is the fifth paragraph mainly developed?
A. By providing examples. B. By giving explanations.
C. By following time order. D. By making comparisons.

“While extroverts(性格外向者)often make great first impressions with their outgoing manner and lively
personalities in interviews, their value and reputation at work diminish(缩减)over time,” says Corinne Bendersky,
an associate professor of Management.
“Extroverts disappoint us over time when they are part of a team,” Bendersky says. “On a team you’re expected
to work hard and contribute a lot. But they are often poor listeners, and they don’t collaborate.”
“On the other hand, introverts(性格内向者)work hard on a team because they care what others think of
them. They don’t want to be seen as not pulling their weight or contributing 100%,” Bendersky says.
So while companies may be attracted to hiring extroverts because they impress managers greatly in job
interviews, bosses also may want to consider whether the extrovert they are considering will be a valuable team
player, Bendersky says.
Amy Jen Su and Muriel Maignan Wilkins, two writers agree and say managers should recognize the strengths of
introverted employees, such as their ability to put themselves in someone else’s shoes.
“These team members are often easy-going, which can make them exceptional mentors to more junior staff or
particularly good sounding boards when you interact with them in one-on-one situations,” Su says.
“Managers must try to help introverts find their voice,” Wilkins says. “Help them see that speaking up is not
about self-promotion or being in conflict but rather about offering the team key insights, making better decisions or
increasing the efficiency for all.”
What about those extroverts who never seem to be at a loss for words? Should managers cut them off? Managers
definitely should weigh in on how an extrovert is affecting others. Wilkins suggests saying something in private to
make adjustments.
8. What do we know about outgoing people according to Bendersky?
A. They are good listeners.
B. They are good at cooperating.
C. They often make great contributions.
D. They tend to perform well in interviews.
9. Which can best replace the underlined part “pulling their weight” in Paragraph 3?
A. Making the team lag.
B Making good choices.
C. Doing their full share of work.
D Trying to share their thoughts.
10 What is Su’s attitude towards Bendersky’s words?
A. Critical. B. Tolerant.
C. Doubtful. D. Approving.
11. What does Wilkins advise managers to do?
A. Promote more introverts.
B. Learn to work more efficiently.
C. Encourage introverts to speak up.
D. Avoid conflict among employees.
D
Imagine you’re standing in line to buy an after-school snack at a store. You step up to the counter and the cashier
scans your food. Next, you have to pay. But instead of scanning a QR code (二维码) with your smartphone, you just
hold out your hand so the cashier can scan your fingerprint. Or, a camera scans your face, your eyes or even your ear.
Now, this type of technology might not be far away. As technology companies move away from the traditional
password, biometric(生物识别的) security, which includes fingerprint, face and voice ID, is becoming increasingly
popular.
In 2013, Apple introduced the iPhone 5s, one of the first smartphones with a fingerprint scanner. Since then,
using one’s fingerprint to unlock a phone and make mobile payments has become commonplace, bringing
convenience to our lives. And since last year, Samsung has featured eye-scanning technology in its top smartphones,
.
.
.
while Apple’s new iPhone X can even scan a user’s face. But despite its popularity, experts warn that biometrics
might not be as secure as we’d imagined. “Biometrics are ideally good, but in practice, not so much” said John
Michener, a biometrics expert.
When introducing the new iPhone’s Face ID feature, Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president, said, “The
chance that a random person in the population could look at your iPhone X and unlock it with their face is about one
in a million.” But it’s already been done. In a video posted on community website Reddi, two brothers showed how
they were each able to unlock the same iPhone X using their own face. And they aren’t even twins.
“We may expect too much from biometrics,” Anil Jain, a computer science professor at Michigan State
University, told CBS News. “No security systems are perfect.”
Earlier this year, Jain found a way to trick biometric security. Using a printed copy of a thumbprint, she was able
to unlock a dead person’s smartphone for police, according to tech website Splinter. “It’s good to see biometrics
being used more,” Jain told CBS News, “because it adds another factors for security. But using multiple security
measures is the best defense.”
12. What is the latest technology to unlock a smartphone according to the article?
A. QR code scanning. B. Face scanning. C. Fingerprint scanning. D. Eye scanning.
13. What’s a major problem of the iPhone X’s Face ID system?
A. It takes too long to unlock the phone.
B. It often fails to recognize its owner’s face.
C. Face data could be used for other purposes.
D. Different faces could be used to unlock the same phone.
14. What does Anil Jain think of biometric security?
A. It’s as secure as traditional measures.
B. It has caused much trouble for police.
C. It should be used with other security measures.
D. It is perfect without any room for improvement.
15. The author wrote this article mainly to ______.
A. describe the popularity of biometrics
B. show how biometrics has changed our lives
C. point out various problems with biometrics
D. discuss the security problems of biometrics

How to protect your ears
You and your friends are leaving a concert on a Friday night. When you get outside, your ears are ringing. You
have to shout to be heard. ___16___ So no harm done…right?
Not quite. Temporary buzzing may be easy to ignore, but repeated exposure to loud noise will eventually cause
serious--- and irreversible(无法治愈的)--- hearing loss. A new study conducted by researchers at Brigham and
Women’s Hospital in Boston shows that one in five people between the ages of 12 and 19 are experiencing slight
hearing loss, and one in 20 have mild hearing loss. ___17___But the good news is that there plenty of ways you can
protect your ears from further damage — and still listen to the music you love:
Ask around. Put your earbuds in or your headphones on, and then ask a friend next to you whether or not he or
she can hear what you’re listening to. ___18___Turn it down.
Buy noise-canceling headphones. A pair of earbuds or headphones that fits comfortably will limit outside
noise so that you can hear your music better at lower volumes.
Take breaks. ___19___ So when listening to music, take your headphones off for 15 or 20 minutes and let
your ears enjoy the quiet.
___20___You can buy a cheap pair at any drugstore as an easy way to lower volume at concerts — or while
playing or practicing your own music — without changing the quality of the sound.
A. Use earplugs.
B. Keep the volume below 70 percent.
C. If the answer is yes, your music is too loud.
D. But by morning, your hearing is totally back to normal.
E. Like every other part of your body, your ears need rest.
F. Unfortunately, there’s no way to get back hearing you’ve already lost.
G. The exposure to noise is louder and longer than in any previous generation.
