A new trend is taking hold in China — guochao, or “China-chic”.The term characterizes the rise o f China’s native fashion trends. It has expanded the concept of “Made in China”, which has been recognized as the representation of Chinese culture and aesthetics (美学) offered by homegrown Chinese brands.China-chic came into the spotlight in 2018. Before that, big-name foreign companies, such as NIKE, ADIDAS and PUMA, dominated the world market. But that year, Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning changed things up. During the 2018 New York Fashion Week, Li-Ning introduced its Taoism-inspired Wu Dao collection. The collection not only had a trendy look, but also included elements of traditional Chinese culture. It immediately grabbed attention at home and abroad. As a result, the company recorded 20 percent profit growth in 2018, marking the first time the brand’s revenue had hit the 10-billion-yuan mark since its founding.The trend to embrace domestic brands has since spread rapidly to various sectors and products, from food and drinks to clothing, mobile phones and electric vehicles. For example, White Rabbit, whose sweet candy brings back childhood memories for many, launched its perfume and lip balm. “We want White Rabbit to be a brand that young people want to share,” said Shen Qinfeng, the company’s marketing manager.Now, the guochao trend is “moving to th e next stage, where its success will rely, first and foremost, on gaining cultural confidence rather than Western recognition.” according to Kerra Zhou, founder of brand strategy consultancy Kerrisma. No matter how the guochao trend develops, there’s onet hing that won’t change: Behind the craze is people’s positive attitude toward the country’s development and their recognition of growing confidence in national culture, added Zhou.4. What’s the function of Paragraph 1?A．To introduce a new trend in China.B．To highlight the popularity of guochao.C．To describe a common scene on the street.D．To show Chinese brands beat foreign companies.5. Which of the following statements about guochao is correct?A．Li-Ning stimulated the development of guochao.B．Guochao is a new trend popular throughout the world.C．Guochao refers to people’s preference for ancient culture.D．It’s before 2018 that guochao had received great attention.6. What may Kerra Zhou agree with?A．Chinese is still following the western trend.B．Guochao’s success relies on western recognition.C．National pride arouses the passion for guochao.D．Cultural awareness is the key to winning market share.7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A．The Popularity of Native Brands B．The Boom of China-chicC．The Recognition of National Culture D．The Root of GuochaoAutomation (自动化) was a hot topic. Nearly everyone agreed that people would be working less once computers and other kinds of automatic machinery became widespread. For optimists, this was a promise of liberation: At last humanity would be freed from constant toil, and we could all devote our days to more refined pursuits. But others saw a threat: Millions of people would be thrown out of work, and desperate masses would roam the streets. Looking back from 50 years hence, the controversy over automation seems a quaint and curious episode. The dispute was never resolved.A. J. Hayes, a leader(and no relation to me), wrote in 1964: Automation is not just a new kind of mechanization but a revolutionary force capable of overturning our social order. Whereas mechanization made workers more efficient-and thus more valuable-automation threatens to make them superfluous (过剩的)-and thus without value. The opinions I have cited here represent extreme positions, and there were also many milder views. But I think it’s fair to say that most early students of automation, including both critics and enthusiasts, believed the new technology would lead us into a world where people worked much less.As for economic consequences, worries about unemployment have certainly not gone away-not with job losses in the current recession approaching 2 million workers in our country alone. But recent job losses are commonly attributed to causes other than automation, such as competition from overseas or a roller-coaster financial system. In any case, the vision of a world where machines do all the work and people stand idly by has simply not come to pass.The spread of automation outside of the factory has altered its social and economic impact in some curious ways. In many cases, the net effect of automation is not that machines are doing work that people used to do. Instead we’ve dispensed with the people who used to be paid to run the ma-chines, and we’v e learned to run them ourselves. These trends contradict almost all the expectations of early writers on automation, both optimists and pessimists. So far, automation has neither liberated us from the need to work nor deprived us of the opportunity to work. Instead, we’re working more than ever.What about trades closer to my own vital interests? Will science be automated? Technology al-ready has a central role in many areas of research; for example, genome sequences could not be read bytraditional lab-bench methods. Replacing the scientist will presumably be a little harder than re-placing the lab technician, but when a machine exhibits enough curiosity and tenacity, I think we’ll just have to welcome it as a companion in zealous research. And if the scientist is elbowed aside by an automaton, then surely the science writer can’t hold out either. I’m ready for my 15-hour work-week.8. In Paragraph 1, the writer mainly wants to convey that .A．automation results in unemployment onB．automation does more harm than goodC．the issue of automation is still in discussionD．automation brings in much convenience in life9. According to A. J. Hayes, we can infer .A．automation is more valuable than what we imagineB．automation is a revolutionary force to better developmentC．the disadvantages of automation far outweigh the advantagesD．the new technology would lead people into working much less10. What does the underlined word possibly mean?A．Put. . . down for. B．Set. . . free from.C．Bring. . . into. D．Take. . . away from.11. What can we conclude from this passage?A．People needn’t work so hard due to automation.B．Traditional labor force will be replaced in the near future.C．Automation should be accepted reasonably in development.D．Automation r esults in more job losses in the writer’s country.Artificial cloud technology could soon be used in the fight against environmental damage. Researchers in Australia have used machines to spray salt water into the air, and noted that the reflective qualities of these artificial clouds helped protect the Great Barrier Reef from sun bleaching (漂白).The so-called cloud brightening project works by thickening existing clouds and reducing sunlight exposure to protect the reef. No artificial chemicals make it into the clouds in the sky. When water droplets steam, they leave only small salt crystals that float up into the atmosphere. This provides a larger surface area for water vapor to be liquids around them, forming thicker clouds.The past two years have seen uncommon forest fires and droughts triggered by the climate change emergency, meaning that widespread use of this technique may become more commonplace if carbon emissions are not checked.Drones, unmanned flying vehicles, have also entered the cloud controlling picture, used in the United Arab Emirates, a country desperately in need of more rainfall, to deliver electrical shocks to clouds in order to facilitate rainfall. Zapping (击打) clouds to produce a positive or negative charge within clouds can cause water droplets to form together. The greater the charge, the larger the droplets, which is vital for ensuring that as much rain as possible reaches the surface before steam gives off all the hard-won moisture (水分).Even if one waves aside climate change, global waterfall shortages are still an increasing concern, given the planet’s booming population. More people means more mouths to feed, and the demand for water in agriculture for animals and crops further increases urgency for cloud controlling technology. An increase in rain also leads to positive economic growth in many countries, as large harvests stabilize financial systems and living standards in all climates.Increasingly, scientists are looking to our skies in providing solutions to protect our environment. Cloud controlling technologies have promise. However, for this field of science to become practical economically, more research needs to be done in making this process a practicable option in protecting our environment.12. How does the cloud brightening project work?A．By creating more water vapor which later becomes liquids.B．By spraying chemicals and small salt crystals into the atmosphere.C．By expanding the water vapor arca and blocking more sunlight.D．By steaming water droplets to provide a larger surface area.13. What do we know about drones from paragraph 4?A．They spread larger water droplets.B．They charge clouds to promote rain.C．They will be popularized in dry years.D．They control the movements of clouds.14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A．Problems of overpopulation.B．Solutions to waterfall shortage.C．Urgency of economic development.D．Additional benefit of cloud technology.15. Which aspect does the author think should be improved?A．High cost.B．Research method.C．Environmental impact.D．Complicated process.We all regard receiving presents as a pleasant experience and yet it can be one of the most embarrassing situations. 16All you can do is exchange it after your friend or relative has gone home. 17 Worse still, the agreement on the sale is between the person who bought it and the shop.So you will have to tell your favourite aunt that the T-shirt does not fit. But an exchange is not always that simple because there has to be a good reason for it. 18 For example, if the buyer was told that a switch was voice-operated and later found out it was not, then action could be taken. You would have the right to return it and get the money back.Many big stores have a much more tolerant policy towards return and see it as a gesture of good will to exchange goods without question. Stores including Marks & Spencer are well-known for their “no argument” policy on returned goods. However, shoppers sho uld remember this is a privilege, not a right.So if a shop refuses to exchange the goods or to offer a refund, the seller is likely to be within his legal rights unless there is something wrong with the goods. 19 You have every right to demand a cash r efund or a replacement, but only if you have returned it within a “reasonable” time.20 Some shops and stores expect things to be returned within a week of purchase, while others may permit a much longer time limit. In any case, if you return a thing after what is considered a “reasonable” time, then all you are legally entitled to is the cost of repair.The recently concluded 19th Asian Games were _______ the most spectacular sporting event of the year, with 15 world records broken.The Games featured 11, 830 athletes from 45 Asian countries and regions who _______ in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, to _______ for 481 gold medals in 40 sports at 56 competition venues.These 45 countries _______ 55 percent o f the world’s population.

named Pierre Chevalier got on a train in Lyon to go to Paris．When he started his journey，he didn't know that it was the beginning of almost 40years of accidents and near death experiences．During the journey，the train fell into an icy river，killing 12passengers．Chevalier managed to swim back to the river bank．He only had a broken leg．Two years later，Chevalier was on a plane from Paris to Moscow when a door suddenly opened and he fell out．A few minutes later，the plane crashed（坠毁）；27people were killed．Chevalier was so lucky that he landed in a haystack（干草堆）．A few years later，he was hit by a bus，but again had no serious injuries．Then a year after that，he was driving on a mountain road when he saw a truck coming straight at him．He drove the car off the road，jumped out，landed in a tree﹣and watched his car fall 100metres down the mountain．"There are two ways you can look at it，"Chevalier said．"I'm either the world's unluckiest man，or the world's luckiest．"When a reporter asked Chevalier what he thought，he chose the"luckiest"one．Two years ago，aged 71，Chevalier bought his first lottery ticket（彩票）in 50years and won more than 2million．After this，a TV company in America said they wanted him to make an advertisement．At first he accepted，but then he changed his mind．Chevalier said he wouldn't fly to Los Angeles for the filming，because he didn't want to push his luck．Who knows？If he had accepted the invitation，maybe he would have had another accident．But Mr Chevalier is a lucky man．If he'd had another accident，he probably would have survived that too!51．In the train accident many years ago，Chevalier．A．didn't get injured at allB．was lucky enough to be aliveC．was finally pulled out of the riverD．was the only passenger to survive52．Why did Chevalier refuse to make the advertisement？A．Because he had won 2million．B．Because he didn't want to leave home．C．Because he didn't want to risk his life．D．Because he didn't like the TV company．53．The text mainly talks about．A．a man with nine livesB．the unluckiest man in the worldC．a man who traveled around the worldD．a man who earned 2million in a lottery．27．（6分）When Mark Levine，an English﹣language instructor at Beijing's Minzu University of China，was first invited to attend a Chinese colleague's wedding in Jiangsu Province in 2016，his second year in China，the California native was ready to present a small decorative gift for the new couple as he used to do in the United States．However，his gesture suddenly seemed inappropriate as he realized the Chinese at the ceremony had red envelopes filled with cash to present rather than a packed gift．"It's a little bit embarrassing when you present something that people didn't expect to receive on certain occasions，"Levine told China Daily recently．"In the US，people do that as well but only for close relatives．People would normally give things as presents，while here in China red envelopes are more commonly welcomed．"It was the first time that the 66﹣year﹣old had discovered the Chinese rules in gift giving．He was not alone．British Minister of State for Transport Baroness Susan Kramer presented a watch in January to Ko Wen﹣je，mayor of Taipei，when she visited the city，immediately sparking headlines as she broke a long﹣held tradition in Chinese culture．A clock or watch，or zhong in Mandarin，represents"the end"in Chinese，and many associate it with death．Therefore，giving someone，especially an elder，a clock or watch implies"your time is up"．Kramer later apologized for the mistake，but Ko also came under fire for his response as he told reporters that he had no use for the watch and would sell it for cash．However，some foreigners in China stand by Ko in this particular debate，such as Mark Dreyer，a British citizen who has lived and worked in China since 2007．"After all，'don't give clocks or watches to your hosts'is on page l of most China travel guides．I'm embarrassed by the lack ofrespect shown by the British for not even reading about the customs beforehand．"54．What does the underlined word"that"in Paragraph3refer to？A．Giving cash．B．Presenting gifts．C．Receiving money．D．Attending weddings．55．How did the public view Ko's response to the gift？A．They thought it appropriate．B．They believed he had no other choice．C．They considered it a smart move．D．They saw it as a rude response．56．What was Dreyer's attitude to the British Minster's gift to Ko？A．Positive．B．Doubtful．C．Negative．D．Supportive．28．（8分）John Blanchard stood up from the bench，straightened his Army uniform，and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station．He looked for the girl whose heart he knew，but whose face he didn't，the girl with the rose．His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in a Florida library．Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued，not with the words of the book，but with the notes penciled in the margin．The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind．In the front of the book，he discovered the previous owner's name，Miss Hollis Maynell．With time and effort he located her address．She lived in New York City．He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond．The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War II．During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through the mail．Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart．A romance was starting Blanchard requested a photograph，but she refused．She felt that if he really cared，it wouldn't matter what she looked like．When the day finally came for him to return from Europe，they scheduled their first meeting﹣7：00PM at the Grand Central Station in New York．"You'll recognize me，"she wrote，"by the red rose I'll be wearing on my lapel．"So at 7：00he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart heloved，but whose face he'd never seen．I'll let Mr．Blanchard tell you what happened：A young woman was coming toward me，her figure long and slim．Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears；her eyes were blue as flowers．Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness，and in her pale green suit she was like springtime come alive．I stared at her，entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose．As I moved，a small，attractive smile curved her lips．"Going my way，sailor？"she murmured．Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her，and then I saw Hollis Maynell．She was standing almost directly behind the girl．A woman well past 40，she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat．She was more than plump，her thick﹣ankled feet thrust into low﹣heeled shoes．The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away．I felt as though I was split in two，so keen was my desire to follow her，and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned me and upheld my own．And there she stood．Her pale，plump face was gentle and sensible，her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle．I did not hesitate．My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify（识别）me to her．This would not be love，but it would be something precious，something perhaps even better than love，a friendship for which I had been and must ever be grateful．I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out the book to the woman，even though while I spoke I felt choked（哽咽）by the bitterness （痛苦）of my disappointment．"I'm Lieutenant （中尉）John Blanchard，and you must be Miss Maynell．I am so glad you could meet me；may I take you to dinner？"The woman's face broadened into a tolerant smile．"I don't know what this is about，son，"she answered，"but the young lady in the green suit who just went by，she begged me to wear this rose on my coat．And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner，I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street．She said it was some kind of test!"It's not difficult to understand and admire Miss Maynell's wisdom．The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to the unattractive．"Tell me whom you love，"Houssaye wrote，"And I will tell you who you are．"57．How did John Blanchard get to know Miss Hollis Maynell？A．They lived in the same cityB．They were both interested in literatureC．John came across Hollis in a Florida libraryD．John knew Hollis's name from a library book58．Hollis refused to send Blanchard a photo becauseA．she thought true loves is beyond appearanceB．she wasn't confident about her appearanceC．she was only a middle﹣aged womanD．she had never taken any photo before they knew59．When Blanchard went over to greet the woman，he was．A．disappointed but well﹣behavedB．satisfied and confidentC．annoyed and bad﹣manneredD．shocked but inspired60．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？A．Don't Judge a Book by its CoverB．The Symbol of RoseC．Love is blindD．A Test of Love．第一节：任务型阅读（满分10分）请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词．注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上．每个空格只填一个单词．（10分）Here are a number of English learning tips to help you improve your English．Choose a few of them of get started today．Ask yourself weekly：What do I want to learn this week？Asking yourself this question every week will help you stop and think for a moment about what is most important to you．It is easy to focus only on the current unit，grammar exercise，etc．If you make a moment to stop of make a careful plan for each week，you will notice the progress you are making and，in turn，become more inspired by how quickly you are learning English!You will be surprised at how this feeling of success will motivate you to learn even more English．Quickly review important new information shortly before going to bed．Research has shown that our brains process information that is fresh in our brains while we sleep．By shortly（this means very quickly﹣just a glance at what you are working on at the moment）going over some exercise，reading，etc．before you go to sleep，your brain will work away on this information while you sleep!While doing exercises and alone at home or in your room，speak English aloud．Connect the muscles（肌肉）of your face to the information in your head．Just as understanding the basics of tennis does not make you a great tennis player，understanding grammar rules does not mean you can automatically speak English well．You need to practice the act of speaking often．Speaking by yourself at home and reading the exercises you are doing will help connect your brain to your facial muscles and improve pronunciation and make your knowledge active．Do five to ten minutes of listening at least four times a week．In the past，I decided I needed to get fit and went jogging﹣usually three or four miles．Well after not having done anything for many months，those three or four miles really hurt!Needless to say，I did not go jogging for another few months!Learning to understand spoken English well is very similar．If you decide that you are going to work hard and listen for two hours，chances are that you will not do extra listening exercises any time soon．If，on the other hand，you start off slowly and listen on a regular basis（five to ten minutes at least four times a week），it will be easier to develop the habit of listening to English．Look for situations in which you must speak，read，and listen to English．This is probably the most important tip．You need to use English in a"real world"situation．Learning English in a classroom is important，but putting your English knowledge into practice in real situations will improve your fluency in speaking English．If you do not know of any"real life"situation，create new ones for yourself by using the Internet to listen to news，write English responses in forums，exchange emails in English with email pals，etc．（61）on Learning EnglishSetting a weekly（62）※By this means you will find it a great（63）to seehow much you have（64）your English by the end ofthe week．Reviewing before goingto bed ※While（65），you still process information in

minutes at least four times a week rather thanonce two hours a week），for one meal won't makes a fatman．（69）Englishin realsituations ※Catching every （70）to put what you have learned into practice is a good idea．第二节：单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）阅读下列句子，根据首字母或中文意思填写单词，并注意运用其正确的形式．71．（1分）From the c look on his face，I knew he didn't quite catch me．so I explained again．72．（1分）Although his present isn't worth

a mess一团糟．故选：B．【点评】本题考查冠词的用法，有的冠词是用于一些固定搭配，平常要注意积累．17．【分析】习主席接见了曼联前成员及大使们，并参观了曼彻斯特城市足球学院博物馆的展览，重要足球文物都在展览中．【解答】动词短语"be greeted by"意为"收到……的欢迎/致敬/招呼"；分析句子结构可知，整个句子的谓语动词为"enjoyed "，主语为"Chinese President Xi Jinping"，第一个横线处至"byManchester United former players and ambassadors"为后置定语，名词"Chinese President Xi Jinping"与动词"greet"之间为被动关系，因此用过去分词作后置定语，相当于定语从句"who was greeted by Manchester United former players and ambassadors"；第二横线处至句末为非限制性定语从句，从句中句子结构已完整，先行词为" an exhibition "，指代地点，因此用关系副词"where"/"in which"引导非限制性定语从句，因此C项符合语境．故选：C．【点评】本题考查非谓语动词用法．解答此类题目首先要读懂句意分析句子结构，判断分词在句中所作的成分，若分词与所修饰的名词是主动关系则用doing，被动关系用done，表将来用to do．本题考查非限制性定语从句．解答此类题目首先要分析句子结构，非限制性定语从句中逗号是一个明显的标志，然后分析非限制性定语从句中的成分，如果缺成分用关系代词，如果不缺成分用关系副词．18．【分析】﹣﹣这个东西花费很高吗？﹣﹣不．事实上，在周末这是免费的．【解答】根据第二句的回答No．可知，前面的句子应该是一个一般疑问句的句型，可排除掉A和C两个特殊疑问句，第二句话表达商品是免费的，所以D项中的一般疑问句的问话和实际答语是相矛盾的，不是不告诉他花了多少钱，而是没有花钱，可排除D．故选：B．【点评】本题考查疑问句，根据答语判断特殊疑问句的疑问词，和习惯的问法，平时多积累这样的句式．19．【分析】我多么希望每个家庭都能有一种带有大花园的大房子啊！【解答】考查虚拟语气．考查I wish后面的从句的虚拟语气．句意：我多么希望每个家庭都能有一种带有大花园的大房子啊！根据句意说明是对现在的情况的虚拟，故使用一般过去时，故B正确．故选：B．【点评】虚拟语气在高考命题中不是重点，但是难点．考点常集中在含蓄条件句以及主语、宾语从句等特定句型中虚拟语气的使用上，因此考生应熟练掌握含蓄条件句中主从句的时态要求以及一些典型句型中虚拟语气的具体形式．20．【分析】多么可怕的经历！不管怎样，你现在安全了．那是最重要的．【解答】本题考查副词辨析．anyhow不管怎样；besides此外；though可是；somehow不知怎么地．故选：A．【点评】本题考查副词词义辨析，考生在平时的学习中应注意积累相应的词汇和搭配，并牢记其意思．在做题时，将词义和题干相结合，从语法、句子结构尤其是句意上去判断，句意通顺，符合逻辑，即正确答案．21．【分析】你脑海中对他英语学得好没有疑问，对吗？【解答】答案是A．本题考查反意疑问句；反意疑问句的陈述句部分包含主从句时，反意疑问句的疑问句部分通常与主句一致，本题中与There is little doubt 一致；反意问句的陈述句中是there be 结构时，相应的简略疑问句部分的主语和动词分别用there和be；题干中little 表示否定，故疑问句部分用肯定；故选：A．【点评】本题考查反意疑问句；掌握反意疑问句的作用和基本结构的基础上牢记陈述句中特殊的主语、动词和句式在简略疑问句部分相对应的特殊的主语和助动词的要求，最后结合语境进行判断．22．【分析】从那天起，我向自己承诺，无论我身处何种境地，我都能帮助别人，就像这个人帮助我一样，我将遵循这个例子．【解答】考查定语从句．句意：从那天起，我向自己承诺，无论我身处何种境地，我都能帮助别人，就像这个人帮助我一样，我将遵循这个例子．分析句子可知第一个空先行词是situation在定语从句中做状语，用where来引导"在这种状况下"；第二个空先行词是way，在定语从句this person helped me中做方式状语，所以用that/in which或者省略．故选：B．【点评】定语从句又称为形容词性从句，综观历年高考试题，我们可以发现该语法项目是测试中的热点与难点，解定语从句的题目首先要知道哪一句是主句，哪一句是从句，被修饰的词是谁，从句中的句子成分缺失什么，根据缺失成分的不同从而选出相对应的关系代词或者关系副词，从而选出正确的答案，解题的关键是从句句子的成分分析．23．【分析】我很高兴再次见到你．你去哪里了？加拿大！我在那里学了四年医学．【解答】考查时态．句意：我很高兴再次见到你．你去哪里了？加拿大！我在那里学了四年医学．在过去某个时间段内持续反复做某事用一般过去时．故选：A．【点评】动词时态的考点是近几年高考试题考查的重中之重．各地高考试题对动词时态的考查越来越侧重于语境化、交际化的理解，这加大了试题的难度，没有明确的时间状语，这就要求考生对句子的语境进行正确的判断，从而选出正确的时态．24．【分析】在一定程度上，很多人求助的来自网络的不加控制的信息最后结果是虚假的．【解答】答案是D．本题考查谓语动词．题干中存在以the Internet为先行词的定语从句，that 指代先行词，从句完整的表达是"many people turn to the Internet"，可见从句中缺少短语turn to 中的介词to；主句以不可数名词uncontrolled information 为主语，turn out 是主句的谓语动词，且讲述的是一般情况，可见需要一般现在时；主句完整的表达是"uncontrolled information from the Internet turns out false．"．故选：D．【点评】首先判断选项中的动词在句中是以谓语还是非谓语形式出现，然后根据选项在句中的功能结合非谓语的基本用法做出合理的判断．要关注常见非谓语动词的搭配．25．【分析】我们要求他向妈妈道歉，但他坚持说那不是他的过错．【解答】考查虚拟语气．句意：我们要求他向妈妈道歉，但他坚持说那不是他的过错．require 做"要求"讲引导虚拟语气用should+动词原形，should可以省略；insist做坚持说讲时，时态前后一致，用wasn't．故选：C．【点评】虚拟语气在高考命题中不是重点，但是难点．考点常集中在含蓄条件句以及主语、宾语从句等特定句型中虚拟语气的使用上，因此考生应熟练掌握含蓄条件句中主从句的时态要求以及一些典型句型中虚拟语气的具体形式．26．【分析】我们不应该对体重感到羞愧，因为我们内在美是重要的．【解答】本题考查形容词辨析．guilty有罪的；内疚的；ashamed羞愧的；energetic精力充沛的；distant遥远的．根据句意和of our weight 可知是对体重感到羞愧．故选：B．【点评】本题考查形容词词义辨析，考生在平时的学习中应注意积累相应的词汇和搭配，并牢记其意思．在做题时，将词义和题干相结合，从语法、句子结构尤其是句意上去判断，句意通顺，符合逻辑，即正确答案．27．【分析】住在高层建筑顶层的一个好处是你能看到附近社区好的景象．【解答】考查名词的词义辨析．sight 既可以指场景、眼前看到的景观（多指人工的事物，如大建筑史迹等有名的处所），又可以指名胜、风景，只是在表示后者的含义时，必须要用复数；scene剧场情景，景象，场面，现场；view 普遍用语，常指从远处或高处看到的景象，到的风景包含人文景观和自然风景．这里指的是从楼顶看到的景象；scenery "景致"、"外景"，指某地乃至国家总的外景或外貌，尤指美丽的乡间景色．句意：住在高层建筑顶层的一个好处是你能看到附近社区好的景象．故选：C．【点评】本题考查名词的词义辨析．名词词义辨析题一直都是高考考查的一个热点，它注重考查考生结合语境准确选用词语的能力．由于英语词汇丰富，且用法多变，考生掌握起来有较大难度，因此在平时应注意词汇的积累，理解词语的含义及其常见的习惯搭配，再联系句子所表述的意义和语境，选出正确的答案．28．【分析】这家工厂每年生产50万双鞋子，其中80%的鞋销往国外．【解答】分析句子结构可知，逗号之前为主句，逗号之后为非限制定语从句，先行词为"half a million pairs of shoes "，指代物，从而排除C和D；根据语境理解表示"其中的"，因此用介词+关系代词"of +which"来引导定语从句；此题容易误选C，如果选C，则应改为"The factory produces half a million pairs of shoes every years and 80% of them are sold abroad．"故选：A．【点评】本题考查非限制性定语从句．解答此类题目首先要分析句子结构，非限制性定语从句中逗号是一个明显的标志，然后分析非限制性定语从句中的成分，如果缺成分用关系代词，如果不缺成分用关系副词．。
2017-2018学年江苏省苏州市高一(上)第一次月考英语试卷(J)

to．例如：I've written it down in order not to forget．He shouted and waved so as to be noticed．在句子中作谓语动词的状语的不定式或不定式短语，表示的是主语的目的，因此，其逻辑主语通常是句子的主语．比较：To draw maps properly，you need a special pen．（正）To draw maps properly，a special pen is needed．（误）由in order to 引导的目的状语，既可以置于句尾，也可以置于句首，而由so as to 引导的目的状语，只能置于句尾，而不能置于句首．比较：They started early in order to get there in time．（正）In order to get there in

It tastes good. And reading is the ho bby I like best. , however, can be dangerous. When you are lo st in a book, you stop paying attention to what’s going on arou nd you. It’s a wonderful feeling, but it sometimes can be hazar dous. []When I was young, one day, I was eating spaghetti with meat balls, and I was reading an interesting book. At the time, my f amily had a pet bird named Luke. He was free to fly around in side the house. And Luke enjoyed “talking” to people.As I was reading and eating, Luke was “talking” to me, but I w as lost in my book. So Luke decided to get closer. He suddenl y landed on top of my spaghetti! I shooed him off my food. This wouldn’t have been so bad except for one thing: When Luke had landed on my plate, he had grabbed(抓) my spaghetti with his feet. So when Luke took off again, the spaghetti went flying everywhere. It landed on my shirt. It hit me in the face. Red sauce splattered(溅) up the wall and onto the ceiling. See how dangerous reading can be. If you really like to read while you eat, you must keep one eye on your food. But you’d better eat up your food and then read your book. Why? If you find a novel at the library with red spots on two pages, you’ll k now that I’ve read that book.4. What does the underlined word “hazardous” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. excitingB. strangeC. dangerousD. special5. What did Luke do when the author was reading and eating ?A. It made a mess in the room.B. It learned to talk to the author.C. It took away the author’s book.D. It ate all the spaghetti with meatballs.6. What does the author advise readers to do?A. Keep pets in the house all the time.B. Take good care of pets when you eat.C. Enjoy your book after finishing your eating.D. Spend more time reading books in the library.7. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this text?A. To introduce a delicious food.B. To tell an interesting experience.C. To suggest ways to choose books.D. To show reading is a wonderful thing.CBeing an astronaut(宇航员) sounds cool, doesn’t it? In space, they can float(漂浮) in zero gravity. However, there are also plenty of things th at astronauts can’t do because of their weightless environmen t, and that’s very sad. What’s worse, they can’t even let their s adness show— because it’s impossible to cry in zero gravity. Of course, astronauts can still produce tears. But without grav ity, tears don’t flow downward out of the eyes. This means tha t when you cry in space, your tears have nowhere to go— the y just stick to your eyes which can cause physical pain. Back on Earth, tears usually bring comfort to the eyes. But that’s no t the case in space. The space environment dries out astrona uts’ eyes, and when tears suddenly wet the eyes, it can cause pain rather than comfort.Since gravity doesn’t work in space, astronauts need some extra help to get rid of the tears. They can also rub(擦) his eyes t o wipe the tears away. Another choice is to just wait—when the tears get big enough they simply break free of the e ye and float around.There are lots of small things that we are so used to on Earth. We usually take them for granted, until they become a proble m in a totally different environment, like space. There, astrona uts can’t talk to each other directly. They also can’t eat or drin k in normal ways. They can’t even burp(打嗝), because there is no gravity to hold the food down in their stomach. If they do burp, they just end up throwing up(呕吐) everything in their stomach.Thus, perhaps it’s only space explorers who can honestly say,“Gravity,you’re the best.”8. What bad effect do tears have on astronauts?A. They cause physical pain.B. They bring comfort to them.C. They help them get better sight.D. They float around and cause trouble.9. What can the astronaut do to get rid of the tears?A. Close their eyes.B. Wait till tears flow down.C. Let the tears dry up.D. Wait till the tears get big enough.10. What’s the second-to-last paragraph mainly about?A. Suggestions on how astronauts can stay comfortable in s pace.B. Other basic things that are difficult to do in space.C. The environment in space is totally different.D. Why burping is impossible in space.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. What can you do in space?B. Better life with gravity.C. In the sky, you can’t cry.D. No gravity, no tears.DA group of homeless children in the Indian capital of publis h a newspaper telling about their own lives.

Some U.S. companies are already using graphene for new technology products.Graphene is often described as a one-atom-thick layer of carbon. The material has some extraordinary qualities. It is 100 times stronger than steel of the same thickness. The nearly transparent material also conducts heat and electricity very well.Dan Scheffer is vice-president of the manufacturing company, Vorbeck Materials. "This material has so many potential applications that you don't know where to start to look in the beginning." Mr. Scheffer says 100 percent pure graphene is difficult to make. But he adds manufacturers can make graphene of lesser purity that still has many of the features of the pure version. Mr. Scheffer says his company produces a layer of graphene that is 80 percent pure.Graphene can be mixed into ink for printers. Stretchable parts can be printed for products such as antennas for radio frequency identification.Louise Brooks is the manager of the product development team at Vorbeck Materials. She says graphene can even be used on wearable electronic clothing. She says the clothing can be washed and dried in a machine without damaging the graphene.The new material can also be used to make very sensitive microphones. Ray Sauro is a chemical engineer at Vorbeck Materials. He says a graphene membrane(膜) less than one micron(微米) thick can pick up signals that no other kind of membrane can. "And, it has a working range of less than one hertz to 200,000 hertz. The human ear for example can hear from about 15 hertz to 20,000 hertz. So, way beyond anything you can hear." The microphone can pick up signals without any radio or magnetic interference.Mr. Sauro says graphene membranes can resist vibrations(振动) and heat. He adds that the membranes are not expensive to manufacture. Mr. Sauro imagines the car industry will be able to use graphene products in vehicles to collect information about engine health. He says such products would not cost more than $300.51. Which of the qualities below does grapheme have, as is mentioned in the article?A. It is the size of an atomB. It can block lightC. It is thicker than steelD. It carries electricity well52. Which of the following is NOT a potential application of graphene, according to the article?A. It can be used to make printersB. It can be used in carsC. It can be used to make microphonesD. It can be used on clothing.BYou may have already heard about the trimester system in Western universities. For example, in the UK, an academic year is usually divided into three terms, each made up of 10 weeks – the autumn term (October to December), the spring term (January to March) and the summer term (April to June). This system is believed to bring more flexibility when scheduling classes, internships and personal projects.Now China is introducing the system to its own students. In fact, nearly half of the country’s Project 985 universities have already added the third term into their academic timetables. But our trimester system is a little bit different from that in the West.Take China University of Political Science and Law (CUPL) as an example, which has started to start the new schedule from this month. Its academic year will now be divided into the autumn term (September to January), the spring term (February to July) and the summer term (July).Lu Chu nlong, director of the dean’s office at CUPL, told The Beijing News that during summer terms students would be able to take classes in other subjects. They are also encouraged to join various courses in the form of social practice and internships. It’s hop ed that this new method will allow students to experience a broader and more diverse academic environment and help them to more adaptive and ready for their future career.However, some students worry that summer term courses are too short, pointing out that they would have to attend classes every day without having time to digest what they’ve learned.This is why Lu suggests that students don’t overdo it during summer. “One course is the best, two tops,” she advises.Xiong Bingqi, vice-president of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, said in an interview with Beijing News, “What’s important is not how the academic year is divided, but how the studying contents are distributed among each term.”53. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?A. The trimester system has found its way into nearly half of the Chinese universitiesB. Some students at CUPL worry about the demanding schedule of the spring termC. A Chinese academic year now is made up of a spring, a summer and an autumn termD. In the UK the trimester system is in use because it can bring flexibility to the timetables54. Which of the following will Xiong Bingqi probably agree with?A. The division of an academic year is more important than the distribution of the studying contentsB. The division of an academic years is not so important as the distribution of the studying contentsC. The division of an academic year, rather than the distribution of the studying contents, is importantD. The division of an academic year is not important, nor is the distribution of the studying55. What does the underlin ed word “diverse” probably mean?A. including many different typesB. needing complete attentionC. requiring creativity and originalityD. limited to a small area of interest.56. Which of the following serves best as the title?A. The trimester system in the UKB. Trimester system at CUPLC. Time to ‘tri’ something newD. Trimesters vs SemestersCHave you ever loved a TV show? I mean really loved it? Like, you can’t wait to get to work to talk about it ? What about the cliffhanger? That’s the unresolved situation at the end of the episode which makes you want to watch the next one. But, when will the next one be?In the past, viewers had to wait up to a week for the next episode of their favourite shows. What pain! But, that’s not the case any more. And hand in hand with that comes a possibly dangerous, growing social trend. We speak of binge-watching.Binge-watching is when a person watches more than one episode of a show for a long time without stop. With developments in the speed and connectivity of the internet, increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies, people can now have their favourite shows streamed directly to their television at their convenience.This behaviour is nothing new. In fact, ‘binge-watching’ has been officially listed in dictionaries since 20XX. The entertainment companies recognize this behaviour and many take steps to encourage it. Often, instead of releasing each episode on a week-by-week basis, an entire series will become available concurrently(同时发生). Once the episode finishes, many platforms will display pop-ups with ‘you might like’ suggestions, or will automatically play the next episode.However, this seemingly wondrous gift may in fact be harmful. Recent research from British media supervisory body Ofcom suggests that this behaviour may have become a problem. Out of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of ashow back-to-back, almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and one quarter have neglected their household chores. Next we'll be missing work!Bingeing has other connections – binge eating, binge drinking and binge smoking, all of which are often associated with compulsive behaviour, a lack of control and a possible route to addiction. Lindsey Fussell, consumer group director at Ofcom, said: "The days of waiting a week for the next episode are largely gone, with people finding it hard to resist watching multiple episodes around the house or on the move.” If people find binge-watching hard to resist; meanwhile it has led to negligence(疏忽；失职), are we witnessing the birth of a new type of addiction?The large amount of information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is, many would say, a good thing. It offers us opportunities to better understand the world we live in, educate ourselves and enjoy much relaxation after work. However, like any behaviour done to excess, it can become dangerous. And when the activity begins to spread to other areas, causing us to stop functioning –then it becomes a problem. So, what’s the answer? Moderation(适度)! Neither a tiny amount, nor too much. After all, as the old proverb says… _______________.57. What does the word “trend”(underlined in paragraph 2) refer to?A. It refers to the fact that viewers are growing more and more impatient.B. It refers to the fact that viewers want to socialize with coworkersC. It refers to the fact that viewers tend to watch TV episodes on endD. It refers to the fact that viewers feel like chatting with fellow fans.58. Which does NOT contribute to binge-watching according to the article?A. Fast Internet wit good connectivityB. People’s interest in social mediaC. Advanced technologyD. Encouraging entertainment companies59. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the article?A. Binge-watching is probably a sign of new addictionB. These days, people can watch TV episodes at home or while travellingC. Binge-watching has something to do with compulsive behavior, a lack of controlD. In the UK almost a third of the adults who binge-watch have admitted missing sleep60. Which is most likely to be the proverb mentioned in the last paragraph of the article?A. a little of what you fancy does you goodB. the early bird catches the wormC. every dog has its dayD. all that glitter is not gold江苏省苏州中学20XX-2018学年第一学期期中考试英语试卷单选CBDAB CADAB BADCC完型BBDD CADBC BCDDA BDACA阅读DA DBAC CBDA江苏省苏州中学20XX-2018学年第一学期期中考试英语试卷单选CBDAB CADAB BADCC完型BBDD CADBC BCDDA BDACA阅读DA DBAC CBDA江苏省苏州中学20XX-2018学年第一学期期中考试英语试卷单选CBDAB CADAB BADCC完型BBDD CADBC BCDDA BDACA阅读DA DBAC CBDA江苏省苏州中学20XX-2018学年第一学期期中考试英语试卷单选CBDAB CADAB BADCC完型BBDD CADBC BCDDA BDACA阅读DA DBAC CBDA江苏省苏州中学20XX-2018学年第一学期期中考试英语试卷单选CBDAB CADAB BADCC完型BBDD CADBC BCDDA BDACA阅读DA DBAC CBDA江苏省苏州中学20XX-2018学年第一学期期中考试英语试卷单选CBDAB CADAB BADCC完型BBDD CADBC BCDDA BDACA阅读DA DBAC CBDA江苏省苏州中学20XX-2018学年第一学期期中考试英语试卷单选CBDAB CADAB BADCC完型BBDD CADBC BCDDA BDACA阅读DA DBAC CBDA江苏省苏州中学20XX-2018学年第一学期期中考试英语试卷单选CBDAB CADAB BADCC完型BBDD CADBC BCDDA BDACA阅读DA DBAC CBDA江苏省苏州中学20XX-2018学年第一学期期中考试英语试卷单选CBDAB CADAB BADCC完型BBDD CADBC BCDDA BDACA阅读DA DBAC CBDA江苏省苏州中学20XX-2018学年第一学期期中考试英语试卷单选CBDAB CADAB BADCC完型BBDD CADBC BCDDA BDACA阅读DA DBAC CBDA江苏省苏州中学20XX-2018学年第一学期期中考试英语试卷单选CBDAB CADAB BADCC完型BBDD CADBC BCDDA BDACA阅读DA DBAC CBDA江苏省苏州中学20XX-2018学年第一学期期中考试英语试卷单选CBDAB CADAB BADCC完型BBDD CADBC BCDDA BDACA阅读DA DBAC CBDA。
