B1915. C1916. D1937. 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段第一句中的“Reuel Tolkien(18921973)”以及第二段的第三句“Tolkien graduated from Oxford University when he was 23 years old，and participated in the First World War”可知，瑞尔托尔金生于1892年，他23岁时参加了第一次世界大战；据此可以判断，他是在1915年参加第一次世界大战的，故B项正确。 答案：B 2Which of the following statements is true? ATolkiens father died of “trench fever” . BTolkien wrote the New English Dictionary himself. CThe Lord of the Rings was finished about half a year. DTolkien began his writing career in the hospital. 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句“It was during the days in the hospital that he began his writing career first”可知，托尔金是在医院开始他的写作生涯的，故D项正确；根据第二段倒数第二句中的“During the war，Tolkien suffered fromtrench fever”可知，托尔金在战时患上了“战壕热”，而不是他的父亲，故A项错误；根据第三段的第二句“He was an editor of the New English Dictionary of 19181920”可知，他是新英语词典的编辑，并没有说是他一人完成了该词典的编纂，故B项错误；根据第四段的最后一句“The works of writing went on for almost a year with the support from his good friend Lewis”可知，The Lord of the Rings的成稿历时大约一年，故C项错误。 答案：D 3What is Tolkiens The Lord of the Rings considered to be? AThe first works of Tolkien. BAlways serious and dark. CBeneficial to the development of the fantasy novels. DThe most popular literary works in the 20th century. 解析：细节理解题。根据文章的最后一句“Tolkiens influence is important，for the success of The Lord of the Rings makes the fantasy novels of this literature genre(体裁)develop rapidly”可知，The Lord of the Rings促进了魔幻小说的快速发展，故C项正确。 答案：C 4The word “evaluation” in the last paragraph is close to the meaning of “_” . Aopinion Bvalue Cinterest Dhobby 解析：词义猜测词。根据本文倒数第二句中的“The Lord of the Rings was one of the most popular literary works in the 20th century in terms of sales and readers.”可知，The Lord of the Rings是20世纪最受欢迎的文学作品之一，这是读者和书商的评价；据此可以判断，画线词意为“评价”，故A项“观点，看法”正确。B项意为“价值”，C项意为“兴趣”，D项意为“业余爱好”，都与语境不符。 答案：A B A bride caused a stir among shoppers at a supermarket in Torfaen when she went shopping in her wedding dress. Anna Savery enjoyed a meal with her husband James and guests at a Cwmbran restaurant after the ceremony but decided to carry on the celebrations at her mothers house.But first she stopped off at a nearby supermarket to pick up some essentials.She was greeted by a flood of good wishes from customers astonished to spot her in the vegetable aisle (侧廊) Mrs Savery，39，who married James Savery，26，at Pontypool Register Office on Saturday said: “It was a very impromptu (即兴的) idea.Thats when I decided to go to the supermarket，but it was shutting in 45 minutes so I didnt have time to go and change.But I have been in my pyjamas (睡衣)before，why not in my wedding dress？” Mrs Savery，who dashed around the supermarket to buy alcohol with her new motherinlaw and sisterinlaw，was overwhelmed by the reactions of staff and customers.“People were smiling and asking for photos.It was unimaginable；I just cant find exact words to describe my feelings，”she said.“I felt like a celebrity (名人)I had people saying I looked beautiful and one man said his daughter said I looked like a princess.” Among those to congratulate Mrs Savery was Cwmbran blogger Ben Black who captured her out shopping on video.Afterwards he wrote on his blog: “Im smiling and have goose bumps (鸡皮疙瘩) as I type this blog.” “To Anna and James: have a fantastic night and wonderful future together.You put a smile on a lot of peoples faces tonight，” he added. 【语篇解读】 一位新娘因时间仓促而身着婚纱去购物，这一举动却带来了出乎意料的反响。 5How did the staff and customers feel when they saw Mrs Savery in her wedding dress?

AShe was too lazy to get changed. BShe was used to doing so when shopping. CShe was in a hurry to buy something. DShe loved to be envied by others. 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段“It was a very impromptu idea.Thats when I decided to go to the supermarket，but it was shutting in 45 minutes so I didnt have time to go and change.”可知，她是临时起意想去超市，因为时间仓促所以没有换衣服。 答案：C 7The underlined word “overwhelmed” in the fourth paragraph means “_” Ato know too much information about something secret about sb Bto have a strong emotional effect and dont know how to react Cto find a lot of strange people and cant get along well with them Dto be aware of what others think of sb but can only keep silent 解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“It was unimaginable；I just cant find exact words to describe my feelings”可知，她觉得这不可思议，一时找不到适合的话语来表达自己的心情。故可知画线词的意思是“受宠若惊”。 答案：B 8All of the following made Mrs Savery feel like a star EXCEPT that _ Apeople were smiling and asking for photos Bshe had people saying she looked beautiful Ca girl said she looked like a princess Dher new husband was a famous actor 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段“People were smiling and asking for photos.It was unimaginable.I had people saying I looked beautiful and one man said his daughter said I looked like a princess.”可知，人们向她微笑，要求跟她合照，并夸奖她漂亮，这些都让她感到受宠若惊。但是没有提到她的丈夫是位著名的演员。 答案：D C Philips Complete Road Atlas Britain and Ireland Voted Britains clearest and most detailed road atlas(地图集)in a consumer survey，the 2016 edition of Philips Complete Road Atlas Britain and Ireland contains 160 pages of road maps and clearly marked service areas.It also includes 10 big city approach maps and 64 extra-detailed town and city plans.

This effects my motivation to learn because I figure that studying is not worth it anymore if everyone is cheating and I might as well not study as hard.This can be frustrating.Cheating widely affects others too._20_ It ruins the learning environment in the classroom. In conclusion，no matter what the motivation is，it is wrong to cheat.But today，so many do it that teachers have to watch even more carefully.

BIt seems as if teachers dont care，and you can get away with it. CCheating is a big problem and a headache for teachers to watch out for. DCheating only sends a negative message to everyone.
