第二部分：閱讀理解
第一節***共15小題，每小題2分，滿分30分***
閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。
A
Pizza is a pretty universal treat, but where did it start? Here are three things you probably didn’t know about pizza.
1: Pizza’s Origins Are Half-Baked.
The Neapolitans***那不勒斯人***in Italy are proud of saying they invented pizza, but it’s probably more accurate to say, they perfected it. The idea of putting toppings on a flatbread and baking it started in the 6th century B. C. But the people of Naples were the first to put tomato on a flatbread in the 16th century. From its start, pizza was a food of the poor, as it was cheap, filling and easy to eat on the run. In Italian, the word “pizza” refers to anything that is made and then pressed flat.
2: Pizza Margherita Is Not Exactly a Symbol of Italy.
It was said some day in 1889, a local baker named Raffaele Esposito created three pizzas for Queen Margherita when she was on a tour of Italy. The queen loved the version that had tomato, basil and mozzarella cheese--- and just happened to match the colors of the Italian flag. So Esposito named the pizza after her.
But Pizza historian Scott Wiener points out that Italy was unified in name only in 1889 so it was unlikely any Neapolitan baker would want to celebrate “the Northern conquerors.” Further, the letter of gratitude for the pizza from the royal household that Pizzeria Brandi displays appears to be a fake***贗品***and may just have been a marketing plan.
3: Hawaliian Pizza Invented by a Canadian.
Sam Panopoulos, from Greece originally moved to Canada at the age of 20. In 1962, he decided to put some ham and pineapple on a pizza at one of his restaurants in Ontario.
“We just put it on for fun to see how it was going to taste,” he told the BBC in 2017. Panopoulos named it the Hawaiian pizza after the brand of canned pineapple he used. The mix of sweet and savory toppings caught on with a certain part of the pizza-loving public. The inventor died in 2017.
1. Who was pizza first made for?
A. The people of Naples.
B. The poor Neapolitan people.
C. The rich Italian people.
D. Queen Margherita specially.
2. What can we learn about Pizza Margherita?
A. It was intended to match the colors of the Italian flag.
B. It was made to celebrate "the Northern conquerors."
C. It was made to cater for Queen Margherta.
D. It was displayed in the royal house.
3. How did the name of Hawaiian Pizza come?
A. It was named after a brand of canned pineapple.
B. It was named after a restaurant in Ontario.
C. It came from a local Hawaiian cook.
D. It came from the pizza-loving public.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A
【解析】
本文是一篇說明文，介紹了三個關於披薩的常識。
【1題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據第二段中的“From its start, pizza was a food of the poor, as it was cheap, filling and easy to eat on the run.”可知，披薩最初是為貧窮的那不勒斯人制作的，因為它很便宜，故B項正確。
【2題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第三段中的“The queen loved the version that had tomato, basil and mozzarella cheese …So Esposito named the pizza after her. ”可知，瑪格麗特披薩是烘焙師在瑪格麗特女王義大利旅行時為她準備的，並以她的名字命名，故C項正確。

In 2012 my wife and I decided to open our bookstore in spite of unfavorable situations. The challenges facing small bookstores were-and remain-significant. Apart from the obvious rise in online selling, the increase in the popularity of e-books has negatively affected independent providers.
The question is why a new, small-scale***小規模的***provide would voluntarily enter such a challenging market? From a personal view, our reasoning was sound: we wanted to share our love of great books and reading for pleasure with as many like-minded people as possible.
Having done our homework, one thing became clear. In order for us to succeed, we would have to offer something that none of our larger competitors already provided. And so we started the Willoughby Book Club. We set up our website in the summer of 2012, and we haven’t looked back.
The idea of service is simple. We offer a range of book subscription gift packages, available in three-month, six-month and 12-month options. Our customers choose a package, tell us a little about the person they’re buying it for, and we use this information to send the receiver a hand-picked, gift-wrapped book once a month. We also recently decided to give one new book to Book Aid International for every gift subscription sold. These books are sent out to sub-Saharan Africa, supporting the educational work there. Within four months of starting out, we won the Young Bookseller of the Year Award at the 2013 Bookseller awards.
Our brief journey from new booksellers to award receivers has been challenging and rewarding. The biggest thing we’ve learned is that, despite the pressures facing independent providers, there is a place for them in the UK market. It’s just a question of finding it.
4. What challenges do the couple have to face when opening their bookstore?
A. Their bookstore is in an unfavourable place.
B. They are short of money and manpower.
C. Their books tore has limited great books.
D. Online selling and e-books are gaining popularity.
5. What does the underlined word “sound” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. accurate B. controversial
C. reliable D. safe
6. In order to succeed, the couple have taken practical measures except ________ .
A. setting up a book club
B. building their website
C. sending the customers gifts every month
D. aiding some Africans by giving them new boos
7. What’s the author’s opinion on being an independent provider?
A. It is anything but challenging.
B. It is difficult but worth it.
C. It is too difficult to succeed.
D. It is just a question.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. B
【解析】

本文是一篇夾敘夾議文，講述了儘管線上銷售的明顯增長，電子書的普及也對供應商產生負面影響，作者夫婦二人仍然開了一家書店，目的是與更多志同道合的人分享對好書的熱愛，分享閱讀的樂趣，作者認為儘管獨立供應商面臨很大的壓力，但在英國市場仍有一席之地。
【4題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第一段中的“Apart from the obvious rise in online selling, the increase in the popularity of e-books has negatively affected independent providers.”可知，除了線上銷售的明顯增長，電子書的普及也對供應商產生了負面影響，故D項正確。
【5題詳解】
詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞後的“we wanted to share our love of great books and reading for pleasure with as many like-minded people as possible.”可知，我們的理由是合理的：我們想要與更多志同道合的人分享對好書的熱愛，分享閱讀的樂趣，由此可知畫線詞詞義為“合理的、可靠的”，故C項正確。

【7題詳解】
觀點態度題。根據最後一段中的“The biggest thing we’ve learned is that, despite the pressures facing independent providers, there is a place for them in the UK market. It’s just a question of finding it.”可知，儘管獨立供應商面臨很大的壓力，但在英國市場仍有一席之地，只是找到它的問題，由此可知，作者對成為獨立供應商持積極的態度，雖然艱難但很值得，故B項正確。
【點睛】觀點態度題的難度通常很大，通過文中的已知資訊把握作者的態度是關鍵，根據最後一段中的“The biggest thing we’ve learned is that, despite the pressures facing independent providers, there is a place for them in the UK market. It’s just a question of finding it.”可知，儘管獨立供應商面臨很大的壓力，但在英國市場仍有一席之地，只是找到它的問題，由此可知，作者對成為獨立供應商持積極的態度——雖然艱難但很值得。

Humans’ invention of zero was vital for modern mathematics and science, but we’re not the only species to consider “nothing” a number. Parrots and monkeys understand the concept of zero, and now bees have joined the club, too.
Honey bees are known to have some numerical skills such as the ability to count to four, which may come in handy when keeping track of landmarks in their environment. To see whether these abilities extended to understanding zero, researchers trained 10 bees to identify the smaller of two numbers. Across a series of trials, they showed the insects two different pictures displaying a few black shapes on a white background. If the bees flew to the picture with the smaller number of shapes, they were given delicious sugar water, but if they flew toward the larger number, they were punished with bitter-tasting food.
Once the bees had learned to consistently make the correct choice, the researchers gave them a new choice: a white background containing no shapes at all. Even though the bees had never seen an empty picture before, 64% of the time they chose it rather than a picture containing two or three shapes, the authors report today in Science. This suggests that the insects understood that “zero” is less than two or three. And they weren’t just going for the empty picture because it was new and interesting. Another group of bees trained to always choose the larger number tended to pick the nonzero image in this test.
In further experiments, the researchers showed that bees’ understanding of zero was even more complex: for example, they were able to distinguish between one and zero-a challenge even for some other members of the zero club. Advanced numerical abilities like this could give animals an evolutionary advantage, helping them keep track of predators***捕食者***and food sources. And if an insect can display such a thorough grasp of the number zero, write the researchers, then this ability may be more common in the animal kingdom than we think.
8. According to the trials, the researchers have found that bees ________.
A. have the same intelligence as parrots and monkeys
B. can count many numbers after being trained
C. can identify the smaller number quickly
D. understand the concept of zero
9. The researchers trained another group of bees to ________ .
A. confirm the bees are able to identify the smaller number
B. find the big difference between the two groups of bees
C. prove the bees are interested in new things
D. show the bees can be distinguished easily
10. What do the researchers suggest in further experiments?
A. Bees should be trained more.
B. Numerical abilities could help predators find bees.
C. Insects are better at understanding zero than animals.
D. Animals may display a thorough grasp of the number zero.
11. What is the best the title for the text?
A. New Findings About Bees’ Concept of Zero
B. Experients on Bees’ Numerical Skills
C. Complex Trials About the Zero Club
D. A Science Report of the Species of Bees
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. A
【解析】

本文是一篇說明文，介紹了研究人員通過試驗發現蜜蜂能夠理解數字零的概念。
【8題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第三段中的“This suggests that the insects understood that “zero” is less than two or three.”可知，根據試驗，研究人員發現蜜蜂能夠理解零的概念，故D項正確。
【9題詳解】
推理判斷題。第二段說研究人員訓練十隻蜜蜂來識別兩個數字中較小的那一個，再結合第三段中的“Another group of bees trained to always choose the larger number tended to pick the nonzero image in this test.”可知，另一組訓練總是挑選較大數字的蜜蜂傾向於選擇非零影象，研究人員訓練這組蜜蜂的目的就是為了證實蜜蜂能夠識別較小的數字，故A項正確。
【10題詳解】
細節理解題。根據最後一段中的“And if an insect can display such a thorough grasp of the number zero, write the researchers, then this ability may be more common in the animal kingdom than we think.”可知，進一步的研究表明動物能夠完全掌握零的概念，故D項正確。
【11題詳解】
主旨大意題。通讀全文，特別是第一段中的“Parrots and monkeys understand the concept of zero, and now bees have joined the club, too.”可知，本文介紹了研究人員通過試驗發現蜜蜂能夠理解數字零的概念，故A項正確。
【點睛】科普類說明文的主旨大意題難度很大，抓住文章的主題句是關鍵，這類文章的主題句一般會出現在文章第一段，例如本篇第4題，根據第一段中的“Parrots and monkeys understand the concept of zero, and now bees have joined the club, too.”可知，本文介紹了蜜蜂也像鸚鵡和猴子一樣能夠理解數字零的概念。
D
Some people dream about becoming engineers, Luckily, the new IMAX film Dream Big shows how engineering can improve people’s lives. It teaches viewers how engineers use high-tech to help the world. The film hits IMAX theaters nationwide on February 17 to celebrate Engineers Week.

Find a quiet location. Keep a routine. Focus on one subject at a time. It all seems like sound advice for students who need to hit the books, ____16____ . Here’s a list of tips from Carey, a scientist, for getting the most out of your study time:
___17___
Doing practice quizzes can help you retrieve***檢索***information on test day. “Tests have a very bad reputation as a measurement tool,” Carey says. But psychologists have found self-tests slow down the forgetting of material you’ve studied. “If you study something once, and then you test yourself on it,” Carey says, “you do better than if you study it twice over.”
Move around
___18___ . “If you move around and study the same material in several places,” he says, “you may be forming multiple associations for the same material. So it’s better anchored in your brain, and you can pull it out easier.”
Mix it up
Think about a football who does strength training, speed training and drills. Carey says alternating between different facets facts of a subject in a single sitting can “leave a deeper impression on the brain”. For example, when studying French, do some verbs, some speaking and some reading. ____19____ .
Space it out
Information learned in a hurry is lost just as fast. So if you really want to learn, space out shorter, hour-long study sessions. “There’s no doubt that you can cram for***突擊備考***an exam.” Carey says, “____20____ . And once it’s gone, “it’s gone. You’re not getting it back.”
A. Test yourself
B. Study it and practice more
C. and it turns out that some of them are in great help
D. but recent studies indicate the conventional wisdom is wrong
E. The problem is that it’s so easy to forget what you just crammed
F. Changing up where you study can help you keep more information
G. Spending your time in deep concentration on just verbs isn’t effective

【18題詳解】
根據本空後的“If you move around and study the same material in several places,” he says, “you may be forming multiple associations for the same material.”可知，如果你在不同的地方學習同一種材料，你會產生多種聯想，此處講的是在不同的地點學習的好處，故F項***改變學習地點可以幫助你儲存更多資訊***符合語境。
【19題詳解】
根據本空前的“For example, when studying French, do some verbs, some speaking and some reading.”可知，學習法語時，做一些動詞，說一些，讀一些，此處承接上文，講的還是關於學習法語的內容，故G項***把時間集中在動詞上是沒有效果的***符合語境。
【20題詳解】
根據本空後的“And once it’s gone, “it’s gone. You’re not getting it back.”可知，一旦它消失了，你就想不起來了，此處說的是有關遺忘的內容，故E項***問題是你很容易忘記剛剛記住的東西***符合語境。

本文是一篇說明文，以密西西比河為例介紹了河流對人們的生活有重要作用，但隨著城市規模的擴大和工業數量的增加，河流受到了嚴重的汙染，所有國家應該行動起來阻止河流繼續受到汙染。
【41題詳解】
考查非謂語動詞。句意：每個國家都至少有一條河流經其國土，這在其人民的生活中扮演重要角色。river 與flow之間是邏輯上的主謂關係，表示主動，用現在分詞做後置定語，故填flowing。
【42題詳解】
考查代詞。句意參考上題解析，修飾名詞people用形容詞性物主代詞，故填its。
【43題詳解】
考查時態。句意：自古以來，人們就利用河流作為交通工具。時間狀語Since the beginning of history表明此處使用現在完成時，故填have used。
【44題詳解】
考查形容詞。句意：密西西比河是美國最長的河流，它在歷史上對美國人民產生了巨大的影響。定冠詞the修飾形容詞最高階，故填longest。
【45題詳解】
考查副詞。句意參考上題解析，修飾動詞influenced用副詞，故填greatly。
【46題詳解】
考查不定式。句意：河流為沿岸居民提供了飲用、種植莊稼和娛樂的機會。此處表示目的，應該用不定式做目的狀語，故填to。
【47題詳解】
考查定語從句。句意參考上題解析，先行詞為those，指人，關係詞在定語從句中作主語，故填who/that。
【48題詳解】

【49題詳解】

Nowadays online voting is very popular in China and it has bad effects for people. Some people feel annoyed when ask to do what they don't like it. In general，online voting don't depend on the competitors' strength. But it usually lies in how much social networking resources we have，so it is unfair. Worse still，it might be commercial trick played by the organizer.
Therefore，it was very necessary that regulation should be worked out and strictly observed.
【答案】第一處：and改為but
第二處：for改為on
第三處：ask改為asked
第四處：去掉it。
第五處：don't改為doesn't
第六處： much改為many
第七處： we改為they
第八處：commercial前加a
第九處： was改為is
第十處： regulation改為regulations
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇說明文，介紹了網上投票在中國非常流行，但它對人們有不好的影響。
【詳解】第一處：考查連詞。句意：現在，網上投票在中國非常流行，但它對人們有不好的影響。前後是轉折而非並列關係，故and改為but。
第二處：考查固定搭配。句意參考上題解析， have effects on sb表示“對某人有影響”，故for改為on。
第三處：考查非謂語動詞。句意：有些人在被要求做他們不喜歡做的事情時會感到很煩。Some people與ask之間是邏輯上的動賓關係，應該用過去分詞表示被動，故ask改為asked。
第四處：考查代詞。句意參考上題解析，賓語從句中，what作like的賓語，it是多餘的，故去掉it。
第五處：考查主謂一致。句意：一般來說，網上投票並不取決於競爭對手的實力。動名詞作主語，謂語動詞用第三人稱單數形式，故don't改為doesn't。
第六處：考查much與many的區別。句意：這通常取決於他們有多少社交網路資源，修飾可數名詞複數resources用many，故much改為many。
第七處：考查代詞。句意參考上題解析，此處指代competitors，故we改為they。
第八處：考查冠詞。句意：更糟糕的是，這可能是主辦方的一種商業伎倆。trick是可數名詞，用不定冠詞a表示泛指，故在commercial前加a。
第九處：考查時態。句意：因此，制定和嚴格遵守規章制度是非常必要的。文章的基礎時態為一般現在時，故was改為is。
第十處：考查名詞。句意參考上題解析，regulation是可數名詞，此處用複數形式表示泛指，故regulation改為regulations。

Glad to receive your email. You asked me to recommend some Chinese traditional gifts that you will buy for your family and friends. Here I’d like to make some recommendations. The first one is the Chinese knot, which stands for friendship, love and good luck. The second one is the Chinese paper cutting, for it is a world cultural heritage. Paper-cuts vary in form and style and they are attractive. Chinese silk is one of the most popular handcrafts representing China so I think the silk scarf is a very good choice for you.

At schools across the United States，students often sit down to cafeteria lunches made from processed foods that are high in fat，sodium，and sugar.But kids at Public School***P.S.***216 in Brooklyn have a different dining experience.Principal Donna Neglia reports that her students love eating flesh fruits and vegetables.
P.S.216 participated in the Edible Schoolyard Project，a nonprofit program founded by Chef Alice Waters in 1995.The program that Waters created helps public schools across the country start on-site gardens and weave principles of healthy eating into the curriculum.Students grow and maintain crops，harvesting the fruits and vegetables for cafeteria meals.
Waters expressed her passion for the principles of the farm-to-table movement.She advised schools to connect with the farmers in their area and change their buying practices when planning meals for students.
Waters has long been inspiring people to care about where their food comes from.In 1993，she put forward the idea of a White House vegetable garden.It was not until 2009 that Michelle Obama started the garden in the backyard of the White House.She and members of the kitchen staff spent hours tending to the garden，often with help from local school children.
“That gave people a sense that she cared about children and cared about where our food comes from，”Waters said，praising the former First Lady’s concern for young people’s health.“We are just building this movement，and it is very exciting.”
“Through the Edible Schoolyard Project，students also learn about the benefits of healthy eating in the classroom.”Neglia said.“P.S.216 is teaching kids about careers in the food industry—such as farming and agriculture，nutrition，food safety，and the restaurant business.”
Similar classes are taking place around the country.So far，the Edible Schoolyard Project has reached more than 1 million students in more than 367 schools.“I'm thinking about the future of the planet，”Waters said.“I'm doing this for our generation.”
4. What’s the purpose of the Edible Schoolyard Project?

6. From the text we can infer that___________.

B. P.S.216 mainly teaches kids about careers in food industry
C. Waters’ project is not well received by me us schools
D. Waters had no difficulty in starting vegetable garden
7. What can be the best title for the text?

C
All across the nation，in Americans’backyards and garages and living rooms，wild animals kept as pets live side by side with their human owners.It’s believed that more exotic animals live in American homes than are cared for in American zoos.The exotic-pet business has drawn criticism from animal welfare advocates and wildlife conservationists alike，who say it’s not only dangerous to bring wildlife into households but it’s cruel and criminal.Yet the issue is far from black or white.
The term exotic pet has no firm definition.It can refer to any wildlife kept in human households or simply to a pet that’s more unusual than the common dog or cat.Privately owning exotic animals is currently permitted in a handful of states with no restrictions in America.Adam Roberts of Born Free USA keeps a running database of deaths and injuries caused by exotic-pet ownership：In Connecticut a 55-year-old woman’s face was permanently disfigured by her friend’s lifelong pet monkey;in Ohio an 80-year-old man was attacked by a 200-pound kangaroo;in Nebraska a 34-year-old man was strangled***勒***to death by his pet snake.And that list does not include the number of people who become sick from coming into contact with zoonotic***動物傳染的*** diseases.
Some people see wild animals as pets as a way to connect with the natural world.Other exotic-pet owners say they are motivated by a desire to preserve threatened species.They believe climate change and human population growth could wipe out a species in record time，so having a backup population is a good idea.
But some groups like Born Free USA and the World Wildlife Fund gay that captive breeding***圈養***of endangered species by private owners—whether for commercial，conservation，or educational reasons—serves only to continue a booming market for exotic animals.That，in turn，results in a greater risk to animals still living in their natural habitat.
8. Which word can replace the phrase“far from black or white”in Paragraph 1?
A. contradictory B. ridiculous
C. controversial D. universal
9. Why does the writer list some deaths and injuries in the text?
A. To give us a clear and firm definition of exotic pets.
B. To show keeping exotic animals can be very dangerous.
C. To prove humans can not be infected by animal diseases.
D. To tell us it’s illegal to have exotic-pet ownership in USA.
10. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. The reasons for keeping exotic animals as pets.
B. Worries about the endangered wild animals.
C. The differences between people who keep exotic pets.
D. The disadvantages of privately owning exotic animals.
11. The last paragraph of the text is intended to_______.
A. introduce some animal protection groups
B. argue against keeping exotic animals in captivity
C. warn people of the danger of animals being caught
D. prove captive breeding can encourage exotic-pet business
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】
這是一篇議論文。文章主要講了一些美國人在家裡飼養野生動物，他們把野生動物帶入家庭很危險，各界對此事件充滿爭議。
【8題詳解】
詞義猜測題。上句說The exotic-pet business has drawn criticism from animal welfare advocates and wildlife conservationists alike，who say it’s not only dangerous to bring wildlife into households but it’s cruel and criminal.說外來寵物業務引起了動物福利倡導者和野生動物物種保護者的批評，他們把野生動物帶入家庭不僅很危險，而且是殘酷和罪惡的。由此推知這個問題有爭議，“far from black or white”意思是有爭議的，A. contradictory矛盾的;B. ridiculous荒謬的;C. controversial有爭議的;D. universal普遍的，故選C。
【9題詳解】
推理判斷題。答案定位在第二段Adam Roberts of Born Free USA keeps a running database of deaths and injuries caused by exotic-pet ownership***Adam Roberts記錄著因養寵物而導致的死亡和受傷情況***以及結合下面慘痛的事例，可知作者在文中列舉了一些傷亡事件是為了表明飼養野生動物是非常危險的，故選B。
【10題詳解】
段落大意題。這一段的意思是一些人認為把野生動物當寵物是與自然世界聯絡的一種方式。其他外來寵物的主人說，他們的動機是希望保護瀕危物種。他們認為氣候變化和人口增長可能在很短的時間內消滅一個物種，所以有一個備份是一個好主意。由此推斷出第三段主要講了人們把野生動物當寵物飼養的原因，故選A。
【11題詳解】
寫作意圖題。答案定位在最後一段That，in turn，results in a greater risk to animals still living in their natural habitat.***反過來，結果在一個更大的風險中，動物仍然生活在它們的自然棲息地。***由此推斷出最後一段目的在於反對圈養野生動物，故選B。
D
The United States Postal Service***LISPS***is offering a way to people who are interested in seeing tomorrow’s mail today.The postal service will send consumers images***影象***of their letters，magazines and other mail before they arrive.The new service is called Informed Delivery.It is an attempt to remain competitive in an ever—changing world.
Postal service officials say the increased use of email，digital messaging services and social media has made it difficult to stay relevant.David Rupert is a media relations specialist who spoke about the competition the agency now faces.Whether you turn on a television or your computer，or people come to your door with different products and services，all of those are competing for consumers’time and energy，he said.
Interested users are first required to sign up for Informed Delivery.Once registered，the consumer receives a daily email with virtual***虛擬***images of letters or other things to be delivered.The US Postal Service says it can especially help those who have a mailbox at their local post office，so they know when to get their mail：
Another postal offering is a service that seeks to make advertising-related mail-often called junk mail—more fun.The service uses virtual and augmented reality***虛擬現實和增強現實***to let consumers interact with their junk mail.Many companies put special coding on their advertising，which can give users an interactive experience.Some companies even put virtual reality eyeglasses in the mail to make their ads come to life.Consumers have mixed reactions to virtual and augmented reality advertising.“You can find some good things within junk mail.It is a good idea.We’11 see how it works，”Postal service user Victor Teah said.But Jocelyn Coatney doesn’t think it would change her mind about junk mail.“For some，that might be fun.But for me，it would be useless，”she said.
12. What does the underlined word“they”in the first paragraph refer to?
A. The images of the mail.
B. Informed Delivery services.
C. Letters，magazines and other mail.
D. The traditional advertising—related mail.
13. Why does the US Postal Service create Informed Delivery?
A. To make people interested in mails.
B. To improve its competitiveness.
C. To be relevant to other services.
D. To make a great fortune.
14. Which of the following best summarizes Paragraph 2?
A. The fall of the US Postal Service.
B. The replacement of the mail service.
C. The potential market for the new service.
D. The challenge the US Postal Service faces.
15. Why does the author write what Victor and Jocelyn said at the end of the text?
A. To prove virtual and augmented reality is helpful.
B. To show us many users are using advertising—related mail.
C. To give examples of users’mixed reactions to junk mail.
D. To wish virtual and augmented reality advertising to work better.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
這是一篇說明文。文章主要講了美國郵電業為對未來信件感興趣的使用者提供了一種瀏覽信件的方法。
【12題詳解】
推理判斷題。The postal service will send consumers images***影象***of their letters，magazines and other mail before they arrive.這句話的意思是在它們到達之前，郵政服務將向用戶傳送他們信件的影象，雜誌和其他郵件。由此推斷出“they”指的是信件、雜誌和其他郵件，故選C。
【13題詳解】
細節理解題。答案定位在第一段The new service is called Informed Delivery.It is an attempt to remain competitive in an ever—changing world.可知美國郵政業建立Informed Delivery是為了提高它的競爭力，故選B。
【14題詳解】
段落大意題。第二段David Rupert is a media relations specialist who spoke about the competition the agency now faces.是這一段的主題句，結合本段內容，可知這一段主要講了美國郵政業面臨的挑戰，故選D。

細節理解題。答案定位在最後一段Consumers have mixed reactions to virtual and augmented reality advertising.可知作者通過舉例說明使用者對垃圾郵件的不同反應，故選C。

【點睛】完形填空是高考英語中最難的一個題，正確解答完形填空題是考試成功至關重要的保障。完形填空所選的文章都是具有邏輯關係、意義相連的語篇，因此，在行文中不可避免地會出現詞語的復現、前後同義或反義、相互照應等現象。所以，解題時應聯絡上下文尋找相關線索，如某一個詞的原詞、指代詞、同義詞、近義詞、上義詞、下義詞和概括詞等。完形填空的解題方法很多，而詞彙復現法就是最常見的方法之一。詞彙復現包括原詞復現、同義詞復現、同根詞復現、概括詞復現以及結構復現等。本題中的4小題中的idea;9小題中的card等都採用了同義詞或原詞復現的方法。但由於我們在做題時不可能總是重複地閱讀文章，因此，在做完形填空時要培養一種捕捉並記憶相關資訊的能力。
第二節***共10小題;每小題1.5分，滿分15分***

【解析】
這是一篇說明文。文章介紹了中國將為農民們設立豐收節。
【41題詳解】
考查非謂語動詞。create 與the first festival之間是被動關係，用過去分詞作定語，所以填created。
【42題詳解】
考查冠詞。文中泛指“一次新聞釋出會”，press的首字母發音是子音，所以填不定冠詞a。
【43題詳解】
考查時態。根據usually，可知表示經常或反覆發生的事情，用一般現在時，主語Autumnal equinox是第三人稱單數，謂語動詞用單數，所以填falls。
【44題詳解】
考查介詞。句意：秋分通常在九月二十二和九月二十四之間到來，在全國農業收穫季節期間。文中表示“在…期間”，所以填during。
【45題詳解】
考查名詞。句意：這個節日賦予農村工作更大的重要性，並且奮力爭取農業和農村地區的更快發展。作動詞give的賓語，用名詞，所以填importance。
【46題詳解】
考查比較級。句意：這個節日賦予農村工作更大的重要性，並且奮力爭取農業和農村地區的更快發展。文中表示“更快發展”，暗含比較含義，用比較級，所以填faster。
【47題詳解】
考查不定式。句意：為了展示農業豐收，各種各樣的慶祝活動被組織。文中表示“為了…”，作目的狀語，用不定式，所以填to display。
【48題詳解】
考查時態和語態。句意：農民被鼓勵參與與工作和生活相關的活動，但是在慶祝活動中，應該避免浪費。表示經常或反覆發生的動作，用一般現在時，“農民”和“鼓勵”之間是被動關係，用被動語態，主語Farmers是複數，所以填are encouraged。
【49題詳解】
考查連詞。句意：農民被鼓勵參與與工作和生活相關的活動，但是在慶祝活動中，應該避免浪費。文中表示轉折關係，所以填but/yet。
【50題詳解】

I like the Spring Festival，during that I usually enjoy myself greatly.All the family members will get together to have a big dinner.We also visit our relatives or friends.To my great joy，my grandparent always give me some lucky money.Last year，I spent the spring Festival happily as usual，but one thing made me surprising.My grandparents didn’t give me 1ucky money at the first! It seemed that they had forgotten about them.Seeing I was puzzled，my grandpa laughed.Several minutes late，my mobile phone received a message.It was my grandpa sent lucky money to me secret through WeChat!What modern and humorous my grandpa was!
【答案】第一處： that改成which
第二處： or改成and
第三處： surprising改成surprised
第五處：去掉the
第六處： them改成it
第七處： late改成later
第八處： grandpa後面加who或that
第九處： secret改成 secretly
第十處： what改成how
【解析】
【分析】
這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講了每年春節，爺爺奶奶都給我壓歲錢。但是去年，起初，我的爺爺奶奶沒有給我壓歲錢。正在我吃驚的時候，收到了爺爺發來的微信紅包。
【詳解】第一處：考查定語從句。這裡含有一個定語從句，the Spring Festival是先行詞，介詞+關係代詞引導的定語從句，指物，只能用which，所以that改成which。
第二處：考查連詞。句意：我們也拜訪我們的親戚和朋友。文中表示並列關係，所以or改成and。
第三處：考查名詞單複數。句意：令我十分高興的是，我的爺爺奶奶總是給我一些壓歲錢。文中表示“我的爺爺奶奶”是複數意義，用名詞複數，所以grandparent改成grandparents。
第四處：考查形容詞。句意：去年，我像往常一樣愉快地過春節，但有一件事讓我驚訝。v+ed修飾人，v+ing修飾物，這裡修飾人，所以surprising改成surprised。
第五處：考查固定短語。句意：起初，我的爺爺奶奶沒有給我壓歲錢。at first起初，該短語是固定短語，所以去掉the。
第六處：考查代詞。指代上文的some lucky money，是不可數名詞，用it，所以them改成it。
第七處：考查常見用法。句意：幾分鐘以後，我的手機收到一條資訊。表示“幾分鐘以後”，用later，所以late改成later。
第八處：考查強調句。把It was去掉，這個句子仍然成分完整，語義清晰，所以這是一個強調句。強調句的基本結構是：it is / was + 被強調部分 + that + 句子的其他成分，如果被強調的部分是人，也可以用who代替that，所以grandpa後面加who或that。
第九處：考查副詞。修飾動詞sent，用副詞，所以secret改成 secretly。
第十處：考查感嘆句。what和how都能引導感嘆句，what後面接名詞，而how之後接形容詞， modern and humorous是形容詞，所以what改成how。
【點睛】小題8考查強調句，能夠準確判斷出強調句是關鍵。判斷是否是強調句的一個簡便的方法就是：把It was，that結構去掉，如果句子結構完整就是強調句;如果句子結構不完整，那句子中就缺少了成分，可能是狀語也可能是從句 。這道題目把It was去掉，這個句子仍然成分完整，語義清晰，所以這是一個強調句。強調句的基本結構是：it is / was + 被強調部分 + that + 句子的其他成分，如果被強調的部分是人，也可以用who代替that，所以grandpa後面加who或that。
