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
By the end of the year, editors of New York Times have picked the 4 best
books of 2019, including fiction and non-fiction. Let’s see which one will take
your fancy.
Disappearing Earth
By Julia Phillips
In the first chapter of this novel, two young girls vanish, sending shock
waves through a town on the edge of the remote and mysterious Kamchatka Peninsula.
What follows is a novel of overlapping short stories about the different women
who have been affected by their disappearance. Each tale pushes the narrative
forward another month and exposes the ways in which the women of Kamchatka have
been destroyed — personally, culturally and emotionally — by the crime.
No Visible Bruises
By Rachel Louise Snyder
Snyder’s thoroughly reported book covers what the World Health Organization
has called “a global health problem”. In America alone, more than half of all
murdered women are killed by a current or former life partner; domestic violence
cuts across lines of class, religion and race. Snyder reveals pervasive myths
(restraining orders are the answer, abusers never change) and writes movingly
about the lives (and deaths) of people on both sides of the equation. She
doesn’t give easy answers but presents a wealth of information that is its own
form of hope.
Midnight in Chernobyl
By Adam Higginbotham
Higginbotham’s superb account of the April 1986 explosion at the Chernobyl
nuclear power plant is one of those rare books about science and technology that
read like a tension-filled thriller. Filled with vivid detail and sharply etched
personalities, this narrative of astonishing incompetence moves from mistake to
mistake, miscalculation to miscalculation, as it builds to the inevitable,
history-changing disaster.Exhalation
By Ted Chiang
Many of the nine deeply beautiful stories in this collection explore the
material consequences of time travel. Reading them feels like sitting at dinner
with a friend who explains scientific theory to you with no airs and graces. Each
thoughtful, elegantly crafted story poses a philosophical question; Chiang
arranges all nine into a conversation that comes full circle, after having
travelled through remarkable areas.
1. Which of the following tells about the violence from a husband to a wife in a
family?
A. Disappearing Earth B. No Visible Bruises
C. Midnight in Chernobyl D. Exhalation
2. How may readers feel when reading the book Midnight in Chernobyl?
A. Delighted. B. Awkward.
C. Tense. D. Calm.
3. What kind of book is Exhalation?
A. A folk tale. B. A biography.
C. A love story. D. A sci-fi story.
【答案】
1. B2. C3. D
【语篇解读】这是一篇应用文。短文介绍了纽约时报推荐的 2019 年度最佳书籍。
1. 细节理解题。根据第三段中 In America alone, more than half of all murdered women
are killed by a current or former life partner 可知,仅在美国一半以上被谋杀的妇女

B。
2. 推理判断题。根据第四段中第一句话 Higginbotham’s superb account of the April 1986
explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant is one of those rare books about
science and technology that read like a tension-filled thriller.(希金博塔姆对
1986 年 4 月切尔诺贝利核电站爆炸的高超描述是那些罕见的关于科学和技术的书籍之一,读
起来就像一部充满张力的惊悚片。)可推断,这本书读起来像一部充满紧张气氛的惊悚片。
A.delighted 高兴的;B.awkward 尴尬的;C.tense 紧张的;D.calm 平静的。故选 C。3. 推理判断题。根据第五段中的关键词 time travel 和 scientific theory 可知,时光旅游

When Tony took up running as a hobby he was 42 years old. Now 42 years later
he's a national champion and a world record holder.
He never imagined at the age of 84 this is where he'd be, but then he doesn't
meet many people in their 80s who are out training four times a week.
"I can see it's a bit unusual, yes. But it's been my life, " he told the
reporter.
The retired officer runs at a track near his home in Leeds.
At an event in Italy last month he set a world record in the 80 metres
hurdles (跨栏)with a time of under 17 seconds. But he sees no reason to slow
down and his ambition is still to be competing when he passes a hundred.
"I probably won't be doing a crouch start (蹲式起跑),but it's only 16 years
away," he joked. Like anyone his age, he's had health problems. He's had a string
of severe heart attacks, but doctors have told him as long as it makes him feel
good, he should carry on running.
"I can't let my heart get in the way of my training. When I am sprinting I
have to give it my absolute all. My heart is the last thing on my mind." he said.
He trains every other day, dances and plays hockey and he recently cuts down
on alcohol and chocolate. He said, "I've heard alcohol can lead to dementia and I
don't want that. I've cut down to one glass of wine every other day. I now have
to stay as fit as I can be to keep up my lifestyle."
Tony's next birthday is next September. And the first thing he wants to do is
become the world's fastest 85-year-old.
4. What will Tony do after the competition in Italy?
A. He decides to slow down.
B. He decides to retire as an officer.
C. He plans on running until he's 100.
D. He plans to compete in the 100 metres hurdles.
5. What do the doctors suggest to Tony?A. Continuing to run if he feels good.
B. Stopping running to treat his heart disease.
C. Trying to run as fast as he can.
D. Cutting down on alcohol and chocolate.
6. Which of the following best describes Tony?
A. Imaginative. B. Positive.
C. Caring. D. Demanding.
7. What's the best title of the text?
A. The Fastest Man in the World.
B. The World's Fastest 85-year-old.
C. A National Champion and a World Record Holder.
D. Granddad Crowned Fastest 84-year-old in the World.

the 80 metres hurdles (跨栏)with a time of under 17 seconds. But he sees no
reason to slow down and his ambition is still to be competing when he passes a
hundred.”可知,上个月在意大利以不到 17 秒的成绩创造了 80 米栏的世界纪录后,托尼认为
他没有理由放慢脚步,他想在 100 岁的时候还能参加比赛,也就是说他打算一直跑到 100 岁,
故 C 项正确。
5. 细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Like anyone his age, he's had health problems. He's
had a string of severe heart attacks, but doctors have told him as long as it
makes him feel good, he should carry on running.”可知,像他这个年纪的人一样,他也
有健康问题。他曾有过多次严重的心脏病发作,但医生告诉他,只要他感觉良好,他就应该继
续跑下去,故 A 项正确。
6. 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“But he sees no reason to slow down and his ambition
is still to be competing when he passes a hundred.”可知,托尼在创造 80 米栏的世界
纪录后仍想跑到 100 岁,再根据倒数第二段“He trains every other day, dances and plays
hockey and he recently cuts down on alcohol and chocolate. He said, "I've heard alcohol can lead to dementia and I don't want that. I've cut down to one glass of
wine every other day. I now have to stay as fit as I can be to keep up my
lifestyle."”可知,他坚持训练,跳舞和打曲棍球,减少酒精和巧克力的摄入量以保持健康,
这些都表明托尼是一个积极的人,故 B 项正确。
7. 主旨大意题。通读全文,特别是根据第一段“When Tony took up running as a hobby he
was 42 years old. Now 42 years later he's a national champion and a world record
holder.”及最后一段中的“And the first thing he wants to do is become the world's

成为世界上跑得最快的 84 岁老人,故 D 项最适合做文章标题。故 D 选项正确。
C
Maple syrup (枫糖浆) is a sweetener from maple tree sap (树汁). Many people
use it in baking in place of sugar or other sweeteners, some use it in tea
instead of honey and it is frequently used as a topping for pancakes, waffles,
and other breakfast foods. Since true maple syrup is rather expensive, a wide
range of false maple syrup exist.
This sweetener originated in the northeast region of North America, and it is
in this region that most of the world’s maple syrup is still produced. Vermont,
New Hampshire Maine, and the eastern portion of Canada are all known for their
fine syrup, each with slightly different flavor qualities.
This sweetener is produced by tapping maple trees to release and collect
their sap. A tree's sap is the liquid that, much like blood in animals, carries
water and food to different parts of the tree to keep it nourished. A mature
maple produces about ten gallons of sap in a given season, after which the tree
will wall off the channel that has been tapped, so that a new tap has to be
drilled the next season. Maples are not tapped for syrup until they are at least
40 years old and have reached a certain size, to ensure that no harm comes to the
tree through the tapping process .
An immense amount of sap is required to produce maple syrup because the
watery sap must be reduced to achieve the proper thickness and taste. Although
the exact amount depends on the sweetness of the sap, in general it takes about
40 times as much maple sap to produce a portion of syrup. This may be further reduced to create thicker delicacies, such as maple butter, maple cream , and
maple sugar.
In the Us, there are grade A and Grade B syrups, with three sub-divisions of
Grade A: light amber, medium amber, and dark amber. Grade B is even darker than
Grade A dark amber. Many people assume that the grading system is also indicative
of quality, but in reality, it only helps to differentiate the color and taste of
the syrup, which is a matter of personal preference. The tastes are different,
but to say one is objectively “better” than another would be incorrect.
8. What do we know about the maple syrup from the first two paragraphs?
A. It can be a substitute of sugar and honey.
B. It varies greatly in flavor qualities.
C. It is produced in the northeast of the US.
D. It is too expensive to gain popularity.
9. The underlined word "nourished" in paragraph 3 can be replaced by
“__________”.
A. warm. B. healthy.
C. complete. D. mature.
10. Why is a large amount of sap needed?
A. Because it is widely used in most delicacies.
B. Because it helps to protect old trees from harm.
C. Because it needs to be concentrated to make maple syrup.
D. Because the more sap is used, the better maple syrup tastes.
11. What's the main purpose of writing the text?
A. To teach people how to make maple syrup.
B. To attract more people to buy maple syrup.
C. To introduce basic knowledge of maple syrup.
D. To help people choose maple syrup of good quality.

甜味剂,也有些人用它来代替蜂蜜用于泡茶,枫糖浆是糖和蜂蜜的替代品。故选 A 项。
9. 词义猜测题。根据第 3 段 A tree's sap is the liquid that, much like blood in
animals, carries water and food to different parts of the tree to keep it
nourished(树的汁液就像动物的血液一样,把水和食物输送到树的不同部分,以保证它的营
养)可知,树的汁液的主要作用是保证树木有营养,能够存活。 故选 B 项。
10. 推理判断题。根据第 4 段 An immense amount of sap is required to produce maple
syrup because the watery sap must be reduced to achieve the proper thickness and
taste 和 it takes about 40 times as much maple sap to produce a portion of syrup
可知,生产枫糖浆需要大量的树汁,因为必须减少汁液中的水分才能达到适度的浓度和味道,
需要将汁液浓缩。一般需要 40 倍的汁液才能生产一份枫糖浆。故选 C 项。
11. 推理判断题。文章介绍了在人们日常生活中广泛使用的枫糖浆如何从枫树汁液中提取,枫
糖浆有不同的风味,分不同的级别。因此 本文是介绍有关枫糖浆的一些基本知识。故选 C 项。
D
Most squirrels don’t hibernate(冬眠). Instead, they store food for the cold
season and spend the winter in their nests. But the 13-lined ground squirrel, one
species of squirrel in the U.S. Midwest, is not the case. For up to 8 months, the
tiny mammals won’t eat or drink anything at all and the heart rate, metabolism(新
陈代谢), and body temperature dramatically drop during their long rest, which is
similar to bears and other hibernating animals.
To find out how the hibernating squirrels hold back their thirst, a powerful
force that could potentially wake them up, and researchers measured the blood
fluid of dozens of squirrels. Generally, a high blood concentration( 血 液 浓 度 )
makes animals, including humans, feel thirty. The sleeping squirrels' blood
concentration was low, preventing them from waking up for a drink. Even when
researchers woke up the torpid squirrels, they wouldn’t drink a drop until the
team artificially increased the concentration of their blood serum.
Next, the researchers wanted to know how the squirrels’ blood concentration
dropped so low. Perhaps the squirrels drank a lot of water before hibernation to
dilute(稀释) their blood, the researchers thought. But when they filmed squirrels preparing for their winter snooze, they found the animals actually drank less
water than they normally did.
Instead, chemical tests revealed the squirrels regulate their blood
concentration by getting rid of electrolytes( 电 解 质 )like sodium and other
chemicals like glucose and urea and storing them elsewhere in the body (possibly
in the bladder), the researchers reported last month in Current Biology. The
finding could also explain how other hibernating animals stay containing water.
This new knowledge might one day help humans with conditions such as
diabetes( 糖 尿 病 ), or astronauts who have launched on long space flights.
Unfortunately, even if people can figure out how to drop their blood
concentration, it’s unlikely they’ll ever be as cute as sleeping squirrels.
12. What do we know about the 13-lined ground squirrels?
A. They don’t hibernate like many other squirrels.
B. They are endangered species in the U. S. Midwest.
C. They can live for months without water during hibernation.
D. Their heart rule and body temperature are extremely abnormal.
13. The hibernating squirrels don' feel thirsty because of their___________.
A. high blood concentration B. low blood concentration
C. low body temperature D. high heart rate
14. Hibernating squirrels adjust their blood concentrations by_____________.
A. Drinking much water before hibernation
B. Not eating anything during hibernation
C. Drinking less water than they normally do
D. Removing certain chemicals and storing them somewhere
15. What is the author’s attitude towards the new findings?
A. Objective B. Positive
C. Disappointing D. Uncaring

12. C13. B14. D15. B
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种冬眠的松鼠,地松鼠。它以将电解质从血
液中换到其他地方储存的方式来降低血液浓度,而这项发明可能用于治疗糖尿病等人类疾病。12. 细节理解题。由第一段 For up to 8 months, the tiny mammals won’t eat or drink
anything at all 可知,地松鼠可以多达 8 个月不吃不喝。即地松鼠冬眠时可以数个月不喝水。
故选 C。
13. 推 理 判 断 题 。 由 第 二 段 a high blood concentration( 血 液 浓 度 ) makes animals,
including humans, feel thirty 可知血液浓度高促使动物包括人类感到口渴,由此可以推断
出冬眠的松鼠不口渴是因为血液浓度低。故选 B。
14. 细节理解题。由倒数第二段 chemical tests revealed the squirrels regulate their
blood concentration by getting rid of electrolytes(电解质)like sodium and other
chemicals like glucose and urea and storing them elsewhere in the body 可知,化学
测试表明松鼠调节血液浓度是通过将电解质转移至身体其他部位储存的方式进行的,即移走某
种特定的物质即电解质,并储存到其他地方。故选 D。

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。
Surveillance ( 监 视 ) is a fact of life. Your boss is monitoring your
performance at work. Supermarkets are collecting data on your grocery shopping.
16.
In a few months, European Union law-makers are due to approve proposals that
will make driver assistance systems mandatory (强制的) in cars within three years.
All new models of car will come with black boxes (event data recorders),
intelligent speed assistance, lane-keeping assistance and more besides.
A large number of technologies will soon be monitoring a driver’s every move.
Are we prepared for devices that watch how we drive and try to help us do it
better?
17. In a report published in April 2018, it found that the suite of changes
could save at least 7,300 lives by 2030, and reduce the number of serious
injuries from car crashes by 38,900. “We can have the same kind of impact as
when safety belts were first introduced,” says Oliver Carsten, who studies
transport safety at the University of Leeds, UK.18. The black box is the most controversial (有争议的) tech because of fears
that the tech encourages surveillance. It would be easy to worry about being
watched in your car. But the EU rules say the system is only checked in the event
of an accident to help with insurance claims and police investigation. The point
is to provide for a fair allocation (分配) of responsibility when a crash occurs.
Some people choose to have a black box because it can reduce their individual
insurance premium (保险费). 19. What’s more, the data collected in human-driven
cars will help train automated driving systems to the point that they could be
ready for large-scale deployment in the future.
20. Drivers should think of it as an extra layer of protection, rather than
the vehicle trying to take over driving from you.
A. Now there is a new field: the automobile.
B. There is concern about these technologies, however.
C. The tech is reducing costs because it’s reducing the number of crashes.
D. Safety isn't much discussed, principally because cars are already very safe.
E. While the EU is taking the boldest steps, these technologies aren't far behind
in other parts of the world.
F. As a result, what may at first glance seem like a surveillance technology is
actually a benefit for society.
G. The European Commission says that introducing these advanced driver assistance
systems will make driving safer.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了气候变化和其他人为活动导致蜜蜂数量的减少以及养蜂人蒂勒独特的养蜂方法及感悟。
41. 考查可数名词复数。句意:专家说,由于气候变化和其他人为活动,蜜蜂的数量正在减少。
other 修饰可数名词复数,故填 activities。
42. 考查定语从句。句意:我们在它们生活的地方建造房屋和城市,并使用正在杀死它们的化
学物质。此处为定语从句,先行词为chemicals,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,故填that/which。
43. 考查时态。句意:去年冬天,美国养蜂人失去了将近40%的蜂群。根据时间状语“Last winter”
可知,事情发生在过去,应该用一般过去时,故填 lost。
44. 考查冠词。句意:养蜂人蒂勒说,人们饲养蜜蜂的常规方法对它们的健康有害。beekeeper
是发音以辅音音素开头的可数名词,此处需要用不定冠词 a 表泛指,故填 a。
45. 考查时态和主谓一致。句意同上,陈述的是客观事实,用一般现在时,主语为 the usual
ways,be 用复数,故填 are。
46. 考查形容词。句意:他拒绝使用传统养蜂人用的白蜂箱。修饰名词 beekeepers 用形容词,
故填 traditional。
47. 考查介词。句意:他赤手触摸它们。分析句子结构可知此处需要填介词,根据句意可知此
处表示“用”,故填 with。
48. 考查副词。句意:当蜜蜂爬到他的手和胳膊上时,他说:“感觉如此亲近,我觉得我们是
多么的亲密,保护它们不受伤害是多么的重要”。修饰动词 belong 用副词,故填 deeply。
49. 考查不定式。句意同上, it is adj to do sth 表示“做某事是……的”,it 为形式主语,
后面的不定式是真正的主语,故填 to keep。
50. 考查形容词比较级。句意:他进一步说,“好像它们真的反映了我们现在在这个星球上的
位置”。上一句说他补充说蜜蜂显示了生命是多么脆弱,此处有一个隐晦的比较意义,表示“进
一步说”,故填 further。

the responsibilities of contributing to your country.
【答案】
【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。讲述的是作者和同学为祖国 70 华诞制作短片的故事。
【详解】
1. 考查动词。shoot 在句子中是谓语,根据时间状语可知用一般过去时。故将 shoot 改为
shot。
2. 考查动词。consist of 是不及物动词,没有被动。故去掉 was。
3. 考查名词的数。one of 后接名词复数,故将 singer 改为 singers。
4. 考查冠词。此处 dance 为泛指。故将 the 改为 a。
5. 考查副词。beside 意为在…旁边,此处应为除…以外,故将 beside 改为 besides。
6. 考查非谓语动词。provide 与逻辑主语 English teacher 之间为主动关系,应该用现在分
词。故将 provided 改为 providing。
7. 考查副词。此句不是 be 后面用形容词,而是表示真地,副词。故将 true 改为 truly。
8. 考查固定搭配。determine to do sth。故在 work 前面加 to。9. 考查介词。adj+for\of+sb+to do,用 of 时 adj 是修饰人的,故将 of 改为 for。

【答案】
Dear Mrs. Smith,
I'd like to express my utmost gratitude for your kindness and hospitality
during my visit to America.I'm extremely blessed to have you as my host family.
It's your considerate care and warm reception that make my journey a most
unforgettable experience.
I hate to mention it, but I have one personal matter to bother you. The
moment I opened my suitcase when I arrived home ,I realized my camera had been
left behind or misplaced somewhere in the guestroom . It is a black Canon EOS and
I could have placed it in the drawer near the bed. All the memorable moments were
captured and recorded with that camera, which meant a lot to me. I'm wondering if it is convenient for you to bring it to me on your next visit to China.
I can't wait to meet you and I am sure your stay in China will definitely
live up to your expectations!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
