8、tor comes it will be【解析】句意：只有主编来了，才有可能解决这个问题。“Only状语”放在句首时，主句需要部分倒装，但要注意作状语的从句不能倒装。【答案】B11The famous musician，as well as his students，_ to perform at the opening ceremony of the 2019 Taipei Flower Expo.Awere invitedBwas invitedChave been invitedDhas been invited【解析】句意：这位著名的音乐家和他的学生被邀请为2019年台北花卉展的开幕式

9、表演。“被邀请”是一个发生在过去的动作，而且不表示对现在造成了影响，也不表示动作持续到现在，所以不能用完成时。根据主谓一致的语法规则，A as well as B作主语时，遵循“就前原则”，也就是说谓语动词要和A保持一致。也可以理解为本句的主语是A而不是B，所以本题谓语动词的单复数要和the famous musician保持一致，故用was invited。【答案】B12I'm familiar _this city so I don't lose my way.AforBonCwithDat【解析】考查介词辨析。句意：我熟悉这座城市，因此我不会迷路。sb.be famili

12、fficulty【解析】句意：他们承诺，无论可能有什么困难，到今年年底都要开发出一个软件包。本题是一个主从复合句，由句意“无论”可知是让步状语从句，从而排除B，D项。从句中的关键词是实义动词have，用还原法，可知是短语have difficulty，所以从句为whatever difficulty they might have。如果选B，则从句要改为：however difficult it might be。【答案】C.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分)Roland，a carpenter in Virginia，and Sheila had three kidstwo bo

24、满分30分)AFive years ago，when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students.I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said：“Make something out of the Tinkertoys.You have 45 minutes todayand 45 minu

25、tes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start.They waited to see what the rest of the class would do.Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided.Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I h

26、ad a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time.His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home.I was delighted at the presence of such a student.Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work.His presence meant that I had an unexpect

27、ed teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downsideI ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking.Without fail one would declare, “But I'm just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when yo

28、u're asleep？”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.”The student would tell something wildly imaginative.Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads.“That's pretty creative.Who does that for you？”“Nobody.I do it.”“Reallyat night，when you're asleep？”“

29、Sure.”“Try doing it in the daytime，in class，okay？”【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作为一名教师，作者用一种玩具培养孩子们的创造性和动手能力，其中一个孩子的创造性引起了作者的注意。36The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to _Aknow more about the studentsBmake the lessons more excitingCraise the students' interest in artDteach the students about toy desig

30、n【解析】细节理解题。从题干的in order to判断，本题询问作者在课堂使用这种玩具的目的，第一段提到as a test.to find out something about my students，由此可知作者的目的是更多地了解自己的学生，因此选A项。B项“让课程更激动人心”，C项“提高学生们对艺术的兴趣”，D项“教学生玩具设计”，均不是作者的目的。【答案】A37What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?AHe liked to help his teacher.BHe preferred to study alone

31、.CHe was active in class.DHe was imaginative.【解析】推理判断题。第三段作者描述这个学生，说他特别有创造性(was an exceptionally creative mind at work)，因此选D项。imaginative有想象力的。作者在该段说他的创造力能够感染班上其他学生，这让作者意外地有了一个教学帮手，没有说他喜欢帮助老师(A项错)，文章没有提到他更喜欢独自一个人学习(B项错)，也没有提到他在课堂上非常活跃(C项错)。【答案】D38What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph

32、 4 probably mean?AMistake.BDrawback.CDifficulty.DBurden.【解析】词义猜测题。前文提到作者很喜爱这个学生，说这个学生的创造性能够感染其他学生，下文说“冒着失去那些有不同的思考风格的学生的风险”，根据语境前后的对比判断，downside的含义应该是drawback“不利条件，缺点”，而不是mistake“错误”，difficulty“困难”，burden“负担”。【答案】B39Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?ATo help them to see

33、 their creativity.BTo find out about their sleeping habits.CTo help them to improve their memory.DTo find out about their ways of thinking.【解析】推理判断题。根据题干信息可知本题考查的是文章后半部分对话的信息。作者鼓励学生讲述他们最有趣的梦，然后鼓励学生说，“白天在课堂上也试一试做梦，好吗？”由此推断，作者让学生讲述他们的梦，是为了帮助学生看到自己的创造性，因此选A项。B项“为了弄清楚他们的睡眠习惯”，C项“为了帮助他们提高记忆力”，D项“为了弄清楚他们的

34、思维方式”，均不是作者的目的。【答案】ABDear Mr.Wolfson，The purpose of this letter is to inform you of one of our citizens who I believe should receive some special recognition for dedicated(敬业的)community service.The person I recommend is Elizabeth Samuelson.I believe you know her in your position as volunteer coordin

35、ator(协调员)I have known Elizabeth for more than 20 years as both a friend and a neighbor.During that time I have seen her work tirelessly on scores of community projects and committees.As far as I know，she has never received any kind of recognition from the community for her work.I believe she should

36、be given some sort of special recognition.Just last year alone，she worked on at least six different community projects including the Park Renewal Project and the Heritage Homes Fund­Raising Banquet.In addition，she is a weekly driver for the Meals­on­Wheels program and she visits patie

37、nts in the care unit on a regular basis.Whenever a project or committee needs her，she will put herself into the work wholeheartedly.I'm sure that if you check with a few of your staff members who have been there over the years，they will confirm Elizabeth's community service record and probab

38、ly be able to add many examples to the few I have given here.By the way，Elizabeth has no idea that I am writing this.She is a humble(谦虚的) person，and if she were aware of it，she would not allow me to send it.I thought about writing such a letter about her a number of times in the past but just never

39、took action.Then last week，I noticed in the paper that you sponsor(主办) an annual dinner at which dozens of awards are given out to people with much less community service than Elizabeth.In fact，I checked with her and she has never even been invited to that annual event!I urge you to correct that omi

40、ssion (疏忽) now and take action to see that Elizabeth is properly recognized for her many years of silent but outstanding service to this community.Sincerely，Linda Sullivan【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文。作者写信向Wolfson先生推荐一位多年来默默无闻为社区工作做出杰出贡献的人。40Linda is Elizabeth's _Afriend and colleagueBneighbor and leaderCneigh

41、bor and workerDfriend and neighbor【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，作者认识Elizabeth 20多年了，她们既是邻居又是朋友。故选D。【答案】D41From the letter we know that Linda _ Elizabeth much.Adepends onBlooks down uponCignoresDrespects【解析】推理判断题。作者在这封信里称赞了Elizabeth为社区工作不求名利、默默奉献并且很谦虚，希望Wolfson先生认可并表彰Elizabeth；由此可推知，她很尊敬Elizabeth。故选D。【答案】D42A

42、ccording to the letter，Elizabeth _Awants to be asked to take part in the annual eventBcontributes much to the communityChas been invited to the annual dinnerDhas been given a lot of honors【解析】细节理解题。通过作者的介绍可知，Elizabeth在社区兢兢业业工作了20多年，为社区工作做出了贡献，但她却从未受到过表彰，也未被邀请参加社区年会。故选B。【答案】B43What can we learn about

43、 Mr.Wolfson from the letter?AHe knows Linda quite well.BHe is a careless person.CHe tries something to reward those who have done much community service.DHe tries his best to find Elizabeth and do something to reward her.【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段第二句中的“Then last week，I noticed in the paper that you sponsor(主办)

44、an annual dinner at which dozens of awards are given out to people”可知，Wolfson先生将举办年会奖励那些为社区工作做出贡献的人。故选C。【答案】CCIn a world where work­related stress has rocketed，could the most intelligent option be simply to find the least­taxing，most profitable job on offer? Could the smartest choice for a

55、senior”，可以看出Chris Leong本身是名computer programmer，然后他的建议是“除非你是名资深的电脑程序员，否则最好working for the government，其原因就是大部分公务员每周工作35小时每周”，由此可推断出computer programmer可能较长。【答案】C46According to Matthew Kuzma，the key to finding an ideal job is to_Aidentify activities others have difficulty in performingBfind the people w
