阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
We can all think of times when people didn’t make remembering easy. Directions given at machine-gun speed.
New people introduced in a flood of names and handshakes. Whenever information is passed between people, it’s all
too easy for it to go in one ear and straight out of the other. Thankfully, the opposite is also true. Look around you, and
you’ll see parents who can get their children to remember exactly what they were told; advertisers who know how to
imprint their sales messages on our brains.
So, how do they do? Their secrets can be summed up in four simple words: focus, imagery, reasons and
engagement.
FOCUS means ensuring that the person you’re talking to can concentrate on learning. Choose your moment
carefully. Check that they can properly hear or see the information. Communicate slowly and clearly enough for their
memory to cope.
IMAGERY helps information to stick. Do everything your can to make other people “see” the ideas you’re
giving them. Add visual details to directions, and illustrate abstract concepts with metaphors.
REASONS to remember help people to put in the mental effort. So, make it clear that your words are important,
and be explicit about why. Maybe this information will save them time, protect them from embarrassment, or let them
enjoy a particular experience or event.
EMGAGEMENT requires you to ask questions. Point out links between new concepts and things listeners
already know. Activate their senses, spark their curiosity, get them doing something physical, or simply make them
laugh.
The next time you’ve got an important message to pass on, put some of these techniques to the test. You’ll
discover that there are benefits on both sides when you know how to FIRE people’s memories into action.
1. What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To report new research.
B. To provide some advice.
C. To explain a problem.
D. To define some terms.
2. How can you do to help a listener “focus” on what you are saying?
A. Select the appropriate time to raise the topic.
B. Do something humorous to get their attention.
C. Make sure the information provided is correct.
D. Speak as slowly and clearly as you possibly can.
3. Explaining to listeners why your information is important is an example of ________.
A. FOCUS B. IMAGERY
C. REASONS D. ENGAGEMENT
【答案】1. B 2. A 3. C
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。主要针对如何让人们记住你所说的事情，提出了四点意见。
【1 题详解】
推理判断题。问整篇文章的目的是什么。根据最后一段 The next time you’ve got an important message to pass
on, put some of these techniques to the test. 下次你有重要的信息要传递时，试试这些技巧。可知，作者的目的
是想要提供一些建议，选项 B 正确。A. 报道一篇研究；C. 解释一个问题；D. 定义一些术语，不是文章的
意图，文章没有传达。故选 B。
【2 题详解】
细节理解题。根据关键词“focus”定位到第三段 Choose your moment carefully. Check that they can properly
hear or see the information. 认真选择时机。检查他们是否能正确地听到或看到信息。可知，选项 A. Select the
appropriate time to raise the topic. 选择适当的时机提出话题。为正确选项；B. Do something humorous to get
their attention. 做一些幽默的事情来吸引他们的注意力，没有提到；C. Make sure the information provided is
correct. 确保被提供的信息是正确的；没有提及 D. Speak as slowly and clearly as you possibly can. 尽可能地说
得慢而清楚。为干扰选项。根据 Communicate slowly and clearly enough for their memory to cope. 沟通要慢而
清晰，让他们的记忆能应付。可知，D 不是让听者集中注意力在你说的话中的做法，而是使听众集中注意
力后需要注意的事项。故选 A。
【3 题详解】
细节理解题。根据关键词“why your information is important”定位到REASONS to remember help people to put
in the mental effort. So, make it clear that your words are important, and be explicit about why. 记住理由有助于人
们投入精神上的努力。所以，要清楚地表明你的话是重要的，并明确说明原因。可知，选项 C. 理由为正确
选项。故选 C。
【点睛】细节理解题的做题方法：题干中定位关键词-根据关键词在文中寻找关键句-对比选项-运用排除法，
选出答案。例如 2.3 小题都是细节题，根据关键词“focus”以及 “why your information is important”由此找出
文章中对应的关键句 Choose your moment carefully. Check that they can properly hear or see the information.以及
REASONS to remember help people to put in the mental effort. So, make it clear that your words are important, and
be explicit about why.从而选答案，故第 2 小题选 A，第三小题选 C。
B
Special boxes lie at the bottom of my locked filing cabinet. Deposited there are important letters and cards
collected throughout my life, from my grandparents, school friends, parents, wife and son. Since the invention of
e-mail though, they’ve been few and far between.
Tonight is New York’s Eve 2029 and there’s a very special box of letters I want to look at. But first there’s
something I have to do – The Ritual(惯例).
I go to my trusted computer and start. I begin to type: Dear -- . I leave the name blank for now, anticipating the
thrill of typing it in. “I hope you are well and I wonder how this will find you. And you still planning to move to that
villa in Portugal? Did your son marry Fiona? Is your mother still alive? Questions surge into my mind.
For the next two hours I sit writing. About what I’ve been doing for the last year, my failing health, my
increasing wealth and sometime difficult marriage. Then about my goals and ambitions. Will he be interested? Do I
climb Mt. Kilimanjaro? Do I get that novel published? the one that’s been rejected more times than I carte to think
about.
Finally, it’s finished. 11:30 pm. I fill in the recipient’s name, print my letter, sign and address it and then seal it
up with tape. I then delete the document and empty the trash folder – to avoid the possibility of temptation. That
completes the ritual!
I walk over to my “special box”. It contains ten long, white, thick envelopes, all with the same handwriting. I
place the one I have just written in at the back and take out the one at the front. It’s dated 2019, and labelled “to be
opened 31st December 2029”.
The cycle is finally complete! I open it, trembling with anticipation. I begin to read, my eyes tearing up a little as
I do so. Throughout the last ten long, eventful years, of life, death, joy and heartbreak, it has been waiting patiently in
this box for me, though I now have no memory of ever having written it.
4. Why does the author receive fewer “important letters” these days ?
A. He has moved from his original address.
B. He is rarely in contact with his friends and family.
C. People communicate with each other less often than before.
D. Electronic communication has largely replaced physical letters.
5. Who does the underlined word “he” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The author himself.
B. The author’s son.
C. The author’s school friend.
D. The author’s book publisher.
6. Why does the author probably delete the completed letter from his computer?
A. So that no one else will be able to read it.
B. So that he won’t read it ahead of schedule.
C. Because he decides at last not to send it.
D. Because he wants forget what has happened.
7. How does the author feel as he is about to open his special letter?
A. Relieved B. Moved
C. Excited D. Afraid
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了因为电子邮件的发明，导致作者收到重要纸质信件和卡片的机会越来越少。
他开始给未来的自己写信，谈论他的生活、工作等。按照信件日期，他到时在打开信件来阅读。
【4 题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Since the invention of e-mail though, they’ve been few and far between.自从电子
邮件的发明，这些信件变少了。”可知，作者受到重要信件的数量越来越少的原因是电子邮件取代了纸质
的信件。故 D 选项切题。
【5 题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第二段“For the next two hours I sit writing. About what I’ve been doing for the last year,
my failing health, my increasing wealth and sometime difficult marriage. Then about my goals and ambitions.接下来
两个小时我坐在那里写信。信件内容关于我去年做了什么，我每况愈下的健康，我增长的财富和有时困难
的婚姻，然后是我的目标和雄心。”可知，作者是写给自己的信，所以“he”就是指作者本人。故 A 选项
切题。
【6 题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“I fill in the recipient’s name, print my letter, sign and address it and then seal it up
with tape. I then delete the document and empty the trash folder – to avoid the possibility of temptation. That
completes the ritual!我完成之后，填上收件人的名字，打印信件，签名并且添加地址，用胶带封存起来。然
后我删除电脑上的文件、清空垃圾箱。这样做就是避免诱惑的可能性。这完全是一种惯例。”可知作者删
除邮件的目的是不想让自己提前去看到这些信件。故 B 选项切题。
【7 题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“I open it, trembling with anticipation. I begin to read, my eyes tearing up a little
as I do so.我打开这封信，因为期待而颤抖，我开始阅读信件，眼里有了泪水。”可知我在打开信件的时候心
情是激动的。故 C 选项切题。
【点睛】推理判断题是指在理解原文字面意思的基础上，通过对语篇逻辑关系的分析和细节的暗示，做出
一定的判断和推理，从而得到文章的深层意义和隐含意义的过程。如第 3 小题，问题是作者为什么要从电
脑中删除信件，根据文章第五段“I fill in the recipient’s name, print my letter, sign and address it and then seal it
up with tape. I then delete the document and empty the trash folder – to avoid the possibility of temptation. That
completes the ritual!我完成之后，填上收件人的名字，打印信件，签名并且添加地址，用胶带封存起来。然
后我删除电脑上的文件、清空垃圾箱。这样做就是避免诱惑的可能性。这完全是一种惯例。”可推出作者
删除邮件的目的是不想让自己提前去看到这些信件。故 B 选项切题。
C
Texas rancher(牧场主) Charles Goodnight had a problem. He needed skilled cowboys to drive his herd of two
thousand longhorn cattle to New Mexico to be sold. He couldn't offer high wages. He couldn't promise easy jobs or
even nice weather. But he decided that decent, warm meals might entice men to work for him.
In the mid-to-late 1800s, cattle drives sometimes took three to four months, and once the drive began, there were
no stores for hundreds of miles. All the food and supplies needed for the trip were carried on two-wheeled carts.
Usually, the cowboy's food was boring and unappetizing.
Goodnight went to work and solved the problem. His invention of a mobile kitchen, the chuck wagon(四轮马车
), got its name from the cowboy word for food, "chuck." Goodnight took an old army wagon and rebuilt it with Osage
orange, a wood so tough that Indians used it to make bows. The wagon's iron axles were stronger than the wooden
ones found on standard wagons, and the wider wheels lasted longer. Besides food, coffee sugar and eating utensils, it
held everything from first-aid supplies to needles and thread. It even contained cooking stove.
The first chuck wagon was an instant success. Eighteen cowhands joined Goodnight and his partner, Oliver
Loving, to drive the cattle to New Mexico for a handsome profit. The route they took—later called the
Goodnight-Loving Trail—became one of the most heavily used cattle trails in the Southwest.
The chuck wagon soon was the backbone of all successful cattle drives. Other ranchers created their own
moving kitchens, and eventually the Studebaker Company produced chuck wagons that sold for $75 to $100 apiece,
about $1,000 today.
The chuck wagon was much more than a mobile kitchen. Sometimes called "the trail drive's mother ship," it was
like a magnet that drew the men together. The wagon and the ground around it were the cowboy's home. There he
enjoyed hot meals, a warm fire, and good companionship. He could also get a bandage, a haircut, or horse liniment
for his sore muscles. And there, under the stars and around the chuck wagon, he crawled into his bedroll each night.
8. Who does the underlined word “entice” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Inform B. Direct
C. Enable D. Attract
9. Why were cattle drives in the mid-to-late 1800s so tough ?
A. All the cattle were carried on two-wheeled vehicles.
B. Fresh food supplies were hard to find on the drive.
C. There were not enough cowboys to drive the cattle.
D. There was no place to store food and necessary supplies.
10. What do we know about Goodnight’s chuck wagon from the text?
A. It was stronger than the ordinary wagons.
B. It was mainly used to provide first aid.
C. It could be changed into a sleeping area.
D. It was sold to other ranchers by Goodnight.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Cowboys’ Problem
B. Goodnight-Loving Trail
C. The Cowboys’ Home on Wheels
D. Exciting Cattle Drives in the West
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。开头引入一名牧场主所面对的赶牛去出售途中的困难，进而这位牧场主发明了新的马车，
之后讲到卡车的出现，阐述了卡车带给牛仔们的意义：解决了牛仔们赶牛期间的饮食困难，提供了舒适的
环境，同时也让赶牛的工作变得更容易。
8 题详解】
词义猜测题。结合文章的第一段 He couldn't promise easy jobs or even nice weather. But he decided that decent,
warm meals might entice men to work for him.可知，对此工作，他不能保证轻松，甚至不能保证好天气。 但他
觉得体面温暖的食物，可能会吸引男人为他工作。A. inform 告知；B. direct 指导; C. enable 使能够，使实现
；D. attract 吸引。带入文章理解，比较前面的工作不轻松，可知食物应当是有吸引力的，选项 D 符合题意。
故选 D 项。
【9 题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段：In the mid-to-late 1800s, cattle drives sometimes took three to four months, and
once the drive began, there were no stores for hundreds of miles. All the food and supplies needed for the trip were
carried on two-wheeled carts. Usually, the cowboy's food was boring and unappetizing.在 19 世纪中后期，赶牛有
时需要三到四个月，一旦开始赶牛，方圆数百英里都没有商店。所有的食物和补给都是用两轮车运送的。
【
通常牛仔的食物都很无聊，让人没胃口。可以了解到赶牛的工作很困难，结合选项理解只有 B 项：Fresh food
supplies were hard to find on the drive 路上很难找到新鲜的食物，符合文章题意。故选 B 项。
【10 题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段 The wagon's iron axles were stronger than the wooden ones found on standard
wagons, and the wider wheels lasted longer. 马车的铁轴比普通马车上的木轴结实，宽轮子使用时间更长。可知
道，这个马车比普通马车结实。选线 A 符合题意。故选 A 项。
【11 题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开头提到了赶牛是一件苦差事，随后 Goodnight 为此发明了新的马车，改变了之前在赶牛
途中的困难：车子更结实，而且车子上除了食物之外，也能携带咖啡糖、餐具，从急救用品到到针线的所
有东西，甚至还有烹饪炉。新马车的使用，带来了很大的成功，最终成就了马车的发明，带给了人们更多
地方便和好处：在马车上，有热腾腾的食物，温暖的炉火，还有美好的友谊。 有绷带、理发或者马用的搽
剂来治疗肌肉酸痛。 同时在星空下，在马车周围，每天晚上牛仔们都会到这个卧室。马车就是牛仔的家。
据此，可知文章主要阐述了马车对于牛仔们的意义。选项 C. The Cowboys’ Home on Wheels(车轮上的牛仔之
家)符合题意。故选 C 项。
D
Depending on what language you speak, your eye perceives colours — and the world — differently than
someone else.
The human eye can physically perceive millions of colours. But we don’t all recognise these colours in the same
way. Some people can’t see differences in colours — so called colour blindness — due to a defect or absence of the
cells in the retina that are sensitive to high levels of light: the cones. But the distribution and density of these cells also
varies across people with ‘normal vision’, causing us all to experience the same colour in slightly different ways.
Language affects our colour perception too. Different languages and cultural groups also categorize colours
differently. Some languages like Dani, spoken in Papua New Guinea, and Bassa, spoken in Liberia and Sierra Leone,
only have two terms, dark and light. Dark roughly translates as cool in those languages, and light as warm. So colours
like black, blue, and green are glossed as cool colours, while lighter colours like white, red, orange and yellow are
glossed as warm colours. Other cultural groups have no word for “colours” at all.
Remarkably, most of the world’s languages have five basic colour terms. As well as dark, light, and red, these
languages typically have a term for yellow, and a term that refers to both blue and green. That is, these languages do
not have separate terms for “green” and “blue” but use one term to describe both colours. Also, Russian, Greek,
Turkish and many other languages have two separate terms for blue — one referring exclusively to darker shades,
and one referring to lighter shades.
The way we perceive colours can also change during our lifetime. Greek speakers, who have two fundamental
colour terms to describe light and dark blue, are more likely to see these two colours as the same after living for long
periods of time in the UK. There, these two colours are described in English by the same fundamental colour term:
blue.
Different languages can influence our perceptions in all areas of life, not only colour. Scientists are now
investigating how different languages changes the way we perceive everyday objects. Ultimately, this happens
because learning a new language is like giving our brain the ability to interpret the world differently.
12. What is mainly discussed in paragraph 2?
A. The medical causes of people’s colour blindness.
B. The different types of colours that people can see.
C. The physical causes of variation in people’s vision.
D. The cultural reasons for differences in colour perception.
13. What colours are commonly referred to using the same word by many language groups?
A. Yellow and red.
B. Warm and cold.
C. Dark and light.
D. Blue and green.
14. What do we know about the Russian language?
A. It classifies colours as either warm or cold.
B. It has more than one word for the colour blue.
C. It mainly describes objects in terms of their colour.
D. It has only five basic terms to describe colours.
15. Why does the author mention Greek speakers living in England?
A. To illustrate how social context can affect our senses.
B. To provide an example of cultural miscommunication.
C. To highlight the variation in the words used to describe colour.
D. To demonstrate how languages can combine to produce new words.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文，介绍了语言影响我们对颜色的感知。
【12 题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段内容，特别是根据 Some people can’t see differences in colours — so called colour
blindness — due to a defect or absence of the cells in the retina that are sensitive to high levels of light: the cones. But
the distribution and density of these cells also varies across people with ‘normal vision’, causing us all to experience
the same colour in slightly different ways.可知，有些人看不到颜色的差异，这就是所谓的色盲，原因是视网膜
上感光细胞：视锥细胞的缺陷或缺失，但这些细胞的分布和密度在“正常视力”的人群中也有所不同，这
使得我们所有人对同一种颜色的体验略有不同，由此可知，本段主要介绍的是人类视觉变化的物理原因，
故 C 项正确。
【13 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的 Remarkably, most of the world’s languages have five basic colour terms. As well as
dark, light, and red, these languages typically have a term for yellow, and a term that refers to both blue and green.
That is, these languages do not have separate terms for “green” and “blue” but use one term to describe both colours.
可知，值得注意的是，世界上大多数语言都有五个基本颜色术语，除了深色、浅色和红色，这些语言通常
有一个术语表示黄色，一个术语表示蓝色和绿色，也就是说，这些语言对“绿色”和“蓝色”没有单独的
术语，而是使用同一个术语来表示这两种颜色，故 D 项正确。
【14 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的 Also, Russian, Greek, Turkish and many other languages have two separate terms
for blue — one referring exclusively to darker shades, and one referring to lighter shades.可知，此外，俄语、希腊
语、土耳其语和许多其他语言都有两个单独表示蓝色的术语——一个专门指较深的色调，另一个则指较浅
的色调，也就是说在俄语中，不止有一个词表示蓝色，故 B 项正确。
【15 题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的 The way we perceive colours can also change during our lifetime. Greek
speakers, who have two fundamental colour terms to describe light and dark blue, are more likely to see these two
colours as the same after living for long periods of time in the UK.可知，我们感知颜色的方式在我们的一生中也
会改变，说希腊语中有两个基本的颜色术语来描述浅蓝色和深蓝色，在英国生活了很长一段时间后，他们
更可能认为这两种颜色是一样的，这说明社会环境如何影响我们的感知，作者提到在英国生活的希腊人就
是为了证明这一点，故 A 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。
Tropical Cyclones
Have you ever seen a TV weatherperson pointing to a large, white spiral of storm clouds spinning over the Earth
on their video screen? If so, then you’ve gotten a small look at what the most powerful storm in the world looks like:
a tropical cyclone (热带风暴).
___16___ The warm air and water at the equator(赤道) rise into the atmosphere, cool off, and then sink back
down. As this cycle repeats itself over and over again, the storm begins to grow and the winds around the storm begin
to move faster.
Depending on where a tropical cyclone is in the world, it is called either a hurricane, a typhoon, or a cyclone. If
tropical cyclones move over the northwestern Pacific Ocean, they’re called typhoons. ___17___ In the South Pacific
or the Indian Ocean, they’re called cyclones.
The center of a tropical cyclone is called the “eye”. ___18___ Most of the strong winds do not reach the eye of
the storm, so the eye is the calmest part.
___19___ A storm that is rated as a Category 1 is the weakest. A Category 5 tropical cyclone is the strongest,
which has winds of over 300km per hour, can cause catastrophic damage.
Once these storms come onto land, they no longer have the warm ocean water they need to grow larger. This
means that they begin to grow weaker. This doesn’t stop them from causing a lot of damage before they go away.
___20___
A. They still may produce strong rain and tornadoes.
B. Tropical cyclones are categorised based on their strength.
C. They withdraw as quickly as they arrive and leave the land untouched.
D. The rest of the storm moves in a circle around the eye at incredibly high speeds.
E. Tropical storms with wind speeds that reach 74 miles per hour are called hurricanes.
F. Tropical cyclones start as tropical storms that form in warm ocean waters near the Earth's equator.
G. Such storms moving over the northeastern Pacific or the Atlantic Ocean are termed hurricanes.
【答案】16. F 17. G 18. D 19. B 20. A
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了热带风暴的相关知识。
【16 题详解】
设空句为本段首句，应承接上文提及的名词“a tropical cyclone(热带风暴)”，并对其进行解释说明。且根据
后文“The warm air and water at the equator(赤道) rise into the atmosphere, cool off, and then sink back down. As
this cycle repeats itself over and over again, the storm begins to grow and the winds around the storm begin to move
faster.( 赤道的暖空气和水上升到大气中，冷却，然后下沉。当这个循环不断重复时，风暴开始增长，风暴
周围的风开始移动得更快。)”可知，本段在解释热带风暴的形成过程。选项F. Tropical cyclones start as tropical
storms that form in warm ocean waters near the Earth’s equator.(热带风暴一开始是在地球赤道附近温暖的海水
中形成的热带风暴。)解释了热带风暴是怎样开始的，符合本段主题。故选 F 项。
【17 题详解】
根据本段主题句“Depending on where a tropical cyclone is in the world, it is called either a hurricane, a typhoon,
or a cyclone.( 根据热带风暴在世界上的位置，它被称为飓风、台风或气旋。)”可知，本段在讲述热带风暴
根据位置而来的三个名字，设空句的前文“If tropical cyclones move over the northwestern Pacific Ocean, they’re
called typhoons.”和后文“In the South Pacific or the Indian Ocean, they’re called cyclones.”分别已经提及的其
中的两个：typhoons 和 cyclones，因此可推知，设空句应解释“hurricane”。G. Such storms moving over the
northeastern Pacific or the Atlantic Ocean are termed hurricanes.(移动在东北太平洋或大西洋上的这样的风暴称
为飓风。)符合分析。故选 G 项。
【18 题详解】
根据前文：The center of a tropical cyclone is called the “eye”.( 热带风暴的中心被称为“风眼”。)可知，本段
的核心话题为“eye”：风眼，因此可推知，设空句应继续解释风眼在热带风暴中的地位。选项 D. The rest of
the storm moves in a circle around the eye at incredibly high speeds. 解释了风暴的其余部分以令人难以置信的高
速绕着风眼旋转，解释了风眼的地位以及与其他部分之间的关系，符合分析。故选 D 项。
【19 题详解】
设空句为段首句，应是本段中心主旨句。根据后文“A storm that is rated as a Category 1 is the weakest. A
Category 5 tropical cyclone is the strongest, which has winds of over 300km per hour, can cause catastrophic
damage.( 1 级风暴是最弱的。5 级热带风暴是最强的，风速超过每小时 300 公里，可以造成灾难性的破坏。
)”可知，在解释热带风暴的等级划分，因此选项 B. Tropical cyclones are categorised based on their strength.(
热带风暴是根据其强度分类的。)贴合主旨，为本段中心主旨句。故选 B 项。
【20 题详解】
根据前文“This doesn't stop them from causing a lot of damage before they go away.( 但这并不能阻止它们在消失
之前造成很多损害。)”可知，风暴登陆，强度减弱，但仍然会带来损害，因此可推知，设空句应对其登陆
后的损害作进一步的解释。选项 A. They still may produce strong rain and tornadoes.解释了登陆后，它们仍然
可能产生强降雨和龙卷风，符合分析。故选 A 项。
【点睛】七选五技巧之篇章结构很重要
有的题利用文章或段落的“总—分”结构关系即可获得答案。段落的语篇结构通常是主题句（总）+支撑句
（分；分述主题的具体内容/说明原因/举例证明等。）比如文章的第 2 小题：
Depending on where a tropical cyclone is in the world, it is called either a hurricane, a typhoon, or a cyclone. If
tropical cyclones move over the northwestern Pacific Ocean, they’re called typhoons. ___2___ In the South
Pacific or the Indian Ocean, they’re called cyclones.
G. Such storms moving over the northeastern Pacific or the Atlantic Ocean are termed hurricanes.
通过阅读可知，本段应是总分结构。空前主题句提及了“a hurricane, a typhoon, a cyclone”三个名称，空
前后句分别提及了 typhoons 和 cyclones，所以设空句应解释“hurricane”。故选 G 项。
第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45 分）
第一节（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
最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
In today's world, we find ourselves communicating more through online channels such as messaging, social
media and video calls, often at the ___21___ of face-to-face dialogue. There are certain situations where online
communication is ___22___ but others where we opt for virtual over a real-life conversation. Which begs the
___23___: is online communication ___24___ in today's world?
To begin with, I'd like to outline the advantages of online communication. One of the main arguments in its
___25___ is that it opens up the possibility of communicating with people in different places around the globe. This
has considerable benefits in the workplace as ___26___ can take place via video conferencing between Stockholm,
San Francisco and Shanghai without the need for ___27___ , exhausting, long-haul business trips. ___28___ , it
provides opportunities for long-distance families and friends to keep in touch on a daily basis. Another point is that

Flowing through the centre of Guangzhou, the Pearl River plays an important role in the life of city. Each day,
boats take people in and from work, and ships transport goods to factory and markets. The river is also a great source
of entertain. Along the river banks, where you can see people walking, exercising and enjoy beautiful views. In recent
years, locals had worked hard to improve the river environment. Among their efforts are planting trees along the
banks or creating several new parks. Most important, they’ve reduced river pollution, making the water so clean as
people can now fish in the river.

2. in→to
3. factory→factories
4. entertain→entertainment
5.去掉 where
6. enjoy→enjoying
7. had→have
8. or→and
9. important→importantly
10. as→that
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了珠江在广州城市生活中起着运输、休闲等重要的作用。
【详解】第一处：考查冠词。这里的 city 特指的“广州市”，所以需要用定冠词 the。故在 city 前加 the。
第二处：考查介词。这里考查短语 take sb. to sp.带某人到某地。故将 in 改为 to。
第三处：考查名词的数。名词 factory 为可数名词，根据后面的并列名词 markets 可知用复数形式。故将
factory 改为 factories。
第四处：考查名词。介词 of 后接名词形式。故将 entertain 改为 entertainment。
第五处：考查句法。分析句子可知，这里 单句，句中 Along the river banks 作地点状语，所以不需要关
系副词 where 引导非限定性定语从句。故将 where 去掉。
第六处：考查非谓语动词。这里考查 see sb. doing sth.，与 walking, exercising 同时作 see 的宾语补足
语。故将 enjoy 改为 enjoying。
第七处：考查时态。根据句中时间状语 In recent years 可知用现在完成时。故将 had 改为 have。
第八处：考查连词。句意：他们的努力包括沿河岸植树和建造几个新的公园。根据句意可知，这里为并列
关系而非选择关系。故将 or 改为 and。
第九处：考查副词。句意：最重要的是，他们减少了河流污染，使河水如此干净，人们现在可以在河里钓
鱼。这里用副词修饰整个句子。故将 important 改为 importantly。
第十处：考查状语从句。这里考查 so … that …“如此……以至于……”引导的状语从句。故将as 改为 that
。

【答案】Dear Chris,
Glad to learn that you will take part in a Chinese poem recitation contest. Here is my interpretation of the poem
you’ll recite.
The poem is about a son who is leaving his hometown to pursue his dream. Feeling concerned about his son, the
mother decides to make a coat for him. She is worried that her son might not come home soon, so she sews every stich
carefully hoping to make it last longer. This poem praises the love of mothers. In the first two lines, the characters
“thread” and “coat” imply the inseparable bond between mother and son. In the last two lines, the poet compares a
mother’s love to sunlight, which helps the grass grow day by day. And such great kindness cannot be easily repaid.
Good luck in the upcoming contest! Looking forward to the news of your victory.
Yours,
Li Hua

helps the grass grow day by day.”使用的是非限制性定语从句，展现了作者对复合句较好的驾驭功底，使得文
章句子的关系紧密，句式更加灵活，为文章的表达增添色彩。
