Students in a college French class have helped fill the empty bookshelves of a very poor Haitian(海地的) school by writing 90 books. Although many children in Haiti speak Creole(克里奥尔语) at home, French is taught in classrooms and used by the government , and students are asked to know the language in order to get further education. Therefore, the class hoped to provide resources to help the young students learn French well.
The project, called Little French Books, was headed up by Jennifer Shotwell, a French professor at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia. Shotwell had visited Haiti with a group of students in 2013 to support a Haitian student and give books to a new library. Following the trip, Shotwell brought the experience back to her classroom.
“My students have a chance to use the French language in a special way by writing children’s books,” Shotwell said. “Though some learners don’t think they can produce much with a new language, my students are learning to express themselves and create entertaining stories that we finally share with disadvantaged children who are also learning French.”
Shotwell had sent French books to Haitian schools, but they were printed on cheap paper that could be easily broken. So she started a Kickstarter, which collected more than $1,000 to make books with durable covers.
The books, which included stories about princesses, dinosaurs and exciting experiences, were given to the St.Gabriel’s school in Lascahobas.
“Each time a child gets into a new book, he will no doubt get new knowledge and new understanding. The Little French Books means a lot to our students, said Gardy Myrtil, a teacher at the school.
5．Why do the college students create books for children in Haiti?
A．To help the children learn French.
B．To follow the government’s requirements.
C．To stop the children from speaking Creole.
D．To make the library open with enough books.
6．What can we learn about the Little French Books?
A．It was started in 2003 by a student.
B．It is in charge of Jennifer Shotwell.
C．It helps set up many new libraries in Haiti.
D．It provides textbooks as well as story books .
7．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “durable” in Paragraph 4 ? A．strong B．colorful
C．beautiful D．thin
8．What does Gardy Myrtil want to say in the last paragraph?
A．More libraries should be open for kids.
B．She is thankful to the project for its effort.
C．kids should read more books in their free time.
D．The more books kids read, the clever they’ll be.
Archerfish(射水鱼), a species famous for spitting (吐) water to shoot insects out of the air, can recognize one human face from another.
In the laboratory, instead of shooting insects, the fish were taught to spit at pictures of human faces showed on a computer screen outside their aquarium. The fish were first introduced to two faces, and taught to spit at one of them in exchange for a food reward. The researchers then tested whether the fish would recognize and spit at the face they had learned from among 44 new ones. And they were right more than 80% of the time.
To the researchers’ surprise, even when they did that with faces that were in black and
white, the fish were still able to find the face they were trained to recognize.
Telling one human face from another is a surprisingly difficult task. As we all have two eyes above a nose and a mouth, doing so depends on recognizing some extremely small differences.
“It has been supposed that this task is so difficult that it can only be completed by higher animals, which have a large and complex brain,” said Newport, whose study was published in the journal Scientific Reports. “But the archerfish were able to do this without having a neocortex, the most recently developed part of the brain. In humans, the neocortex governs our sense and language.”
“Fish have a simpler brain than humans and they don’t have the section of the brain that humans use for recognizing faces,” Newport said. “Even though, many fish show amazing visual (视力的) behaviors and therefore make the perfect subjects to test whether simple brains can complete complex tasks.”
9．What were the archerfish asked to do in the laboratory?
A．Pick out the face they knew.
B．Shoot the computers from a far distance.
C．Count the number of faces on the screen.
D．Pick out black and white pictures from colorful ones.
10．What can we learn about the archerfish?
A．They have a complex brain. B．Their neocortex is very large. C．They belong to higher animals. D．They have excellent eyesight. 11．What is the purpose of the text?
A．To encourage people to protect fish.
B．To introduce a kind of fish with special ability.
C．To introduce the result of a study on archerfish.
D．To show that animals with simpler brains are smarter.
A bicycle may be seen by most people as just another vehicle (交通工具), but for many Londoners, cycling is a way of life. According to an official UK government survey in 2017, about 570,000 bike journeys are made every day in London. In fact, almost half of the vehicles that pass over London Bridge each day are bikes.
London introduced a public bike-sharing system in 2010. “There can be no doubt that our
trusty bicycles have changed the way people get around our great city,” Johnson told the Guardian in 2015.
In London, bikes are used for more than just taking short trips to and from the subway. No matter where you want to go in the city, taking a bike is usually the quickest and easiest choice.
And it’s not just shared bikes that the government is encouraging people to ride. In many companies across the UK, the UK government’s Cycle to Work s cheme (骑行倡议) allows employees to buy a brand new bike without having to pay any tax (税). This means that it’s common to see many people cycling to and from work, and some employers even provide workplace showers and lockers (储物柜) for their workers. More importantly, a cycle-friendly boss may let you off for being late if you rode a bike to work.
Not only is it great for the environment and our body, cycling is also good for the mind. According to National Geographic Magazine, “Bike riding can improve people’s happiness.”12．How does the author show the popularity of cycling in London?
A．By using numbers. B．By giving examples.
C．By making comparisons. D．By using famous sayings. 13．What’s Johnson’s attitude toward the bike-sharing system in London? A．Disappointed. B．Concerned.
C．Supportive D．Uninterested.
14．What can employees get from the government under the “Cycle to Work” scheme? A．Free bike-sharing services. B．Workplace showers and lockers. C．Shorter working hours. D．A tax-free bike.
15．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A．Cycling as a healthy way of life.
B．How cycling has become popular in London.
C．Why Londoners are encouraged to ride bikes.
D．London’s public bike-sharing system.

细节事实理解题主要考查考生对文章中某一些特定细节或文章的重要事实的理解能力。它一般包括直接理解题和语义理解题两种。直接理解题的答案与原文直接挂钩，从阅读材料中可
以找到。此外，在阅读中可以使用定位法与跳读法解决细节理解题。定位法即根据题干和选项所提供的信息直接从原文中找到相应的句子(即定位)，然后进行比较和分析(尤其要注意一些同义转换)，从而找出正确答案。跳读法即根据题干和选项所提供的信息跳读原文，并找到相关的句子(有时可能是几个句子)或段落，然后进行分析和推理等，从而找出正确答案。以2小题为例，本题运用定位法：我们根据题干Which hotel should you choose if you would like to swim during your stay?，其关键词是swim，从而直接定位到含有swim相关的文本，即Home Hotel部分中的There's an outdoor swimming pool and a garden with green trees.，而其它酒店没有这样的配置，由此可知正确答案。

【名师点睛】学生解答完形填空试题关键在于能否准确理解上下文中的“照应关系”迅速排除干扰选项，学生要想做到这一点，一些做题技巧也是非常必要的。例如：代入法。如果不能很有把握地直接选出某一道题的答案，可以将各选项代入空白处，排除明显不符合题意的选项，从而缩小选择的范围。例如：I will always ____19____ this special memory of bringing some Christmas joy and pleasant ___20___ to Grandma and her fellow residents.19题四个选项分别代入句中，“珍惜回忆”符合语境，其它三个选项分别是“钦佩、鼓励和认出”，与文章完全不符，故选A。所以解答完形填空，掌握一定的技巧而是必不可少的。

【分析】
本文为议论文。许多人认为老朋友比新朋友更重要。但是作者论证了老朋友和新朋友之间实际上没有什么不同。
41．考查状语从句。句意：正如一个老谚语说的，“朋友像酒，越老越好。”此处为方式状语从句，应使用as“正如”引导。故填As。
42．考查语态。句意：如果给出两条建议来解决一个问题。give与two pieces of advice构成逻辑动宾关系，应使用被动语态，同时描述的又是客观事实，应使用一般现在时。故填are given。
43．考查冠词。此处泛指“一个老朋友”，又处于old之前，应使用不定冠词an。故填an。44．考查固定短语。固定短语：prefer A to B“比起B更喜欢A”。句意：人们会更喜欢后者而不是前者。故填to。
45．考查动词。根据空前however可知，此处指“然而，我不同意这句老话，认为新朋友不一定比老朋友差。”故填disagree。
46．考查非谓语动词。句意：用时间长短来决定你们的友谊并不总是正确的。此处为句型：It is+adj.+ to do sth.“做某事是怎么样的”。故填to determine。
47．考查形容词。句意：一旦你称某人为朋友，他必须是一个可靠的人。此处做表语，应使用形容词reliable“可靠的”。故填reliable。
48．考查代词。句意：他的兴趣与你相同。此处指代your interests，应使用名词性物主代词。故填yours。
49．常考副词。句意：事实上，这与时间关系不大。此处修饰动词has，应使用副词形式。故填actually。
50．考查名词。句意：因此，在这一点上，老朋友和新朋友是没有区别的。根据句意及句子成分可知，此处应使用名词difference，意为“区别”。故填difference。

【分析】
本文为记叙文。作者描述了上周末观看一场令人兴奋的篮球比赛时发生的事情。
【详解】
第一处：考查形容词。excited“感到兴奋的”，exciting“令人兴奋的”。此处指“一场令人兴奋的篮球比赛”。故excited改为exciting。

第四处：考查名词。固定结构：to one’s + n.“令某人怎么样的是”。故surprised改为surprise。第五处：考查名词复数。此处指“球员们跳起、拥抱”。故player改为players。
