Grammar and Vocabulary (19%)Section A(6%)Directions: Beneath each of the following sentences there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. choose the one answer that best completes the sentence.1.Understanding the cultural habits of another nation, especially containing as many different subcultures as the United States, is a complex task.A. oneB. the oneC. thatD. those【答案】A【解析】【详解】考查代词。句意：了解另一个国家的文化习惯是一项复杂的任务，尤其是像美国这样包含许多不同亚文化的国家。one 可指代前面已经出现过的同种类的可数名词，在此处作可数名词 nation 的同位语，表示泛指，因此不用定冠词 the，可排除B，that 指代过去的或远处的某一事物，也可用来指代同类不同物或不可数名词，可排除C，those 后修饰名词复数，因此排除D。故正确答案为A。2.Because he could not find the right theme , his explanation was vague and uncovering.A. which to center his thought aroundB. around which his thoughts to centerC. on which to center his thoughtsD. which he centers his thoughts on【答案】C【解析】【详解】考查定语从句。句意：因为他不能找到正确主题的中心思想，所以他的解释是模糊而不全的。which 引导先行词为 theme 的定语从句，center on 为固定搭配，意为“集中在；以为中心”，关系代词 which 在定语从句中作介词的宾语，因此介词 on 需前置。故选C。3.I will be surprised if you can get Calvin, who is a close-fisted man, these donation draw tickets from you.A. buyB. buyingC. buysD. to buy【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：如果你能让加尔文，一个吝啬的男人，从你那里买这些捐款票，我会很惊讶。经过分析得知，句子谓语是 get，固定结构get sb. to do sth. “让某人做某事”，因此选用动词的不定式。故选D。4.The architects of the temples of ancient Rome and Greece worked anonymously(匿名的), the builders of the medieval cathedrals in Europe.A. as didB. as haveC. as ifD. as【答案】A【解析】【详解】考查倒装句。句意：古罗马和古希腊庙宇的建筑师们匿名工作，在欧洲，中世纪的大教堂的建造者也是那样。as 引导的倒装句，主要用于正式文体，在意思上跟 so 基本相同。但是，在这个句子中，as 实际是从属连词，引导方式状语从句，所以缩略形式采用了倒装语序，前面句子的谓语是 worked，所以用助动词 did 代替。故选A。【点睛】as的用法很多，常见用法如下：1. as可以作副词，连词，也可以引导时间状语从句例如：He looked behind from time to time as he went forward.当他朝前走时，不时地向后看。2. as可以引导原因状语从句例如：As she has been ill perhaps shell need some help.她由于生病可能需要些帮助。3. as引导让步状语从句例如：Angry as he was, he managed to speak calmly.虽然他很生气，但是他讲话很平静。二、需要注意的是：当as作“虽然”解，引导让步状语从句时，必须将表语、状语或动词原形提到as前面。句子的倒装语序有以下三种形式：(1). 形容词或副词+as+主语+连系动词be或实义动词。例如：Rich as he is, he never spends a cent on clothes.虽然他很富有，但他从不花一分钱在衣服上。Much as I admire his courage, I dont think he acted wisely.我虽然佩服他的勇气，但我认为他这样做是不聪明的。(2). 名词+as+主语+连系动词be (注意句首的名词不带冠词)。例如：Child as he is, he knows a lot.尽管他是个孩子，但懂很多事情。Boy as he was, he was chosen king.尽管他还是个孩子，但却被立为国王。(3). 实义动词+as+主语+助动词如果没有助动词，则要加上一个do(does或did)。例如：Try as he may, he never succeeds.尽管他很努力，但总是不成功。Change your mind as you will, you will gain no additional support.即使你改变主意，你也不会得到另外的支持。5.The Qingming Festival, now a national holiday, allows more people to pay their respects to dead relatives on would otherwise be a workday like Friday.A. whereB. thatC. whenD. what【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查名词性从句连接词。句意: 清明节，现在是一个国家节日，允许更多的人在周五这样的工作日向死去的亲人表达敬意。介词 on 后跟的是宾语从句。宾语从句缺主语应用 what。A、C选项是关系副词，不能做主语。that 在宾语从句中不做句子成分。故选D。【点睛】名词性从句关键在于三点：一、找准从句在主句中充当的成分即分出是名词性从句的主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句还是同位语从句。二、连接词在从句中充当的成分（主、宾、定或状语或不做任何成分）三、弄清楚每个连接词的意义。此外还要注意，近年来高考对于名词性从句的考查多从名词性从句的语序和连接词的用法区别上考查。6.In the United States and some other countries it is the drivers responsibility to make sure that children under fourteen do not ride in the front seat they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.A. whileB. evenC. untilD. unless【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查连接词。句意：在美国和其他的一些国家，务必不要让十四岁以下的孩子坐在前排座位上是司机的职责，除非他们系好某种安全带。A. while当的时候，引导时间状语从句；B. even甚至；更；C. until一直；D. unless除非，如果不，引导条件状语从句。分析句子结构可知为条件状语从句，故选D。Section B(6%)Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.How should a Nobel laureate dress? asked Kazuo Ishiguro, who, 40 minutes earlier, had found out he _7_(award) the Nobel Prize for Literature.To say the news was unexpected is an understatement. He literally couldnt believe it. Until that was, his phone began to ring constantly, an orderly queue of TV crews started to form outside his front door (how do they all know where I live?), and his publishers dispatched a top team to his house as back-up.This was not fake news. This was delightful, surprising news. Maybe there were others who _8_ (win) instead, he wondered. But that is the nature of prizes. They are a lottery. _9_ chaos reigned around him, he was calm, assured and thoughtful, talking (after nipping upstairs to fetch a smart jacket for our interview) about his belief in the power of stories and _10_ those that he wrote would often explore wasted lives and opportunities.Ive always had a faith that it should be possible, if you tell stories in a certain way, to transcend barriers of race, class and ethnicity.For me, he is one of the great living writers working in any language. All writers can tell stories. Ishiguro tells stories on _11_ level.He places the reader in some sort of alternative reality - which might be the future, it might be the present, it might be the past. They feel like places that are whole and real, _12_ you dont know them.Theyre weird and not necessarily happy places. But theyre places that you can inhabit and relate to, and you become deeply involved with the characters. Thats the writers job-he just does it better than most.【答案】7. had been awarded 8. should have won 9. While/Although/Though 10. how 11. another 12. but【解析】这是一篇记叙文。当得知自己获得诺贝尔文学奖时，Kazuo Ishiguro感到非常意外，简直不敢相信。他始终坚信，一定存在这样一种能跨越种族和阶级壁垒的叙述方式。【7题详解】考查动词时态语态。句意：40分钟前得知自己获得诺贝尔文学奖的Kazuo Ishiguro问道:“诺贝尔奖得主应该如何着装?”he 和 award 有逻辑上的被动关系，且 award 的动作在 find out 的过去已经发生，而 find out 是过去发生的动作，故此处应使用过去完成时。因此 award 应用过去完成时的被动形式。故正确答案为 had been awarded。【8题详解】考查虚拟语气。句意：他想也许其他人应该赢得比赛，而实际上并没有。根据句意可知should + 完成时表示过去本应做某事，而实际未做，故正确答案为 should have won。【9题详解】考查连词。句意：虽然他周围一片混乱，但他仍很冷静，很有自信，也很有思想。句子的前后部分为转折关系，在自然语序的让步状语从句中，although，though，while 都可表示“虽然”之意，均可置于句首。句首单词首字母应大写。故正确答案为 While 或 Although 或 Though。【10题详解】考查连接词。句意：尽管他周围一片混乱，但他很冷静，很有自信，也很有思想，他（在匆匆上楼为我们的采访拿了一件漂亮的夹克之后）谈论着他对故事的力量的信念，以及他写的那些故事如何经常探索被浪费的生命和机会。本句为名词性从句，从句中缺少方式状语，故填how 意为“如何”，符合句意。故正确答案为 how。【11题详解】考查代词。句意：Ishiguro 在另一个层面上讲故事。此处泛指三个或三个以上的人或物，故正确答案为 another。【12题详解】考查连词。句意：他们感觉就像完整而真实的地方，但你并不了解他们。句子的前后部分为转折关系，因此用 but 连接。故正确答案为 but。Section C(7%)Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Now, let me say a few words to our American friends. Climate change is one of the major_13_of our time.

It is not the futurewe want for ourselves.It is not the futurewe want for our children.It is not the futurewe want for our world.Today, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced his decision to_14_the United States from the Paris Agreement. I do respect his decision, but I do think it is an actual mistake both for the US and for our planet.I just said it to President Trump, in a few words a few minutes ago this_15_. Tonight, I wish to tell the United States: France believes in you. The world believes in you. I know that you are a great nation. I know your history, our common history.To all the scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, and responsible citizens who were disappointed by the decision of the president of the United States, I want to say they will find in France a second homeland. I call on them-come and work here with us, to work together on_16_solutions for our climate, our environment. I can assure you: France will not give up the fight.I reaffirm clearly that Paris agreement will remain irreversible and will be_17_not just by France, but by all the other nations.

I already know that I can count on them.I call on you to remain confidence. We will succeed, because we are_19_, because wherever we live, whoever we are, we all share the same responsibility to make our planet great again.【答案】13. C 14. B 15. A 16. D 17. G 18. H 19. E【解析】这是一篇说明文。温度变化是我们这个时代的一个主要问题，它已经在改变我们的日常生活，每个人都受到影响。美国总统特朗普宣布美国将退出巴黎协定，我认为这是一个错误。我可以向大家保证：法国永远不会放弃和环境及气温的斗争。我希望大家保持信心。【13题详解】考查可数名词复数。句意：气候变化是我们这个时代的主要问题之一。issue 是可数名词，意为“问题”，one of 后接可数名词复数。故正确答案为C。【14题详解】考查固定搭配。结合句意，今天，美国总统唐纳德特朗普宣布他决定退出巴黎协定。withdraw from 为固定搭配，意为“退出，离开”。故正确答案为B。【15题详解】考查名词。结合句意，“我”几分钟前刚刚对特朗普总统说了这番话。assessment 意为“评定，评价”，this 修饰名词 assessment。故正确答案为A。【16题详解】考查形容词。结合句意，“我”呼吁他们来这里和“我们”一起工作，共同为“我们”的气候和环境找到具体的解决方案。concrete 为形容词，意为“具体的”，修饰名词 solution。故正确答案为D。【17题详解】考查非谓语动词。结合句意，“我”明确重申，巴黎协定将继续不可逆转，不仅由法国，而且由所有其他国家执行。implement 意为“实施，执行”，Paris agreement 与 implement 之间是被动关系，此处是一般将来时的被动，因此 implement 应用过去分词形式。故正确答案为G。【18题详解】考查名词。结合句意，在接下来的几个小时里，“我”将有机会与“我们”的主要伙伴对话，确定一个共同的战略，并发起新的倡议。new 为形容词，修饰可数名词 initiative，initiative 意为“倡议”，此处用复数形式。故正确答案为H。【19题详解】考查形容词。结合句意，我们会成功，因为我们全身心投入，因为无论我们生活在哪里，无论我们是谁，我们都肩负着让我们的星球再次变得伟大的共同责任。此处为系表结构，用形容词作表语，fully-committed 意为“全身心投入的”。故正确答案为E。III. Reading Comprehension (43%)Section A(15%)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.A recent survey in the United States showed that the average family spent more money on its pets than on its children. Although rather shocking, it should not_20_anyone who has seen the doggy parlors(客厅)where loved pets rest. It is possible that: Americans are unique in treating their little friends in this way, but the information we have suggests that the English, too, are_21_to their pets.This can clearly be seen when we look at pet foods, which often contain more vitamins than human food or at least, are_22_less nutrition. They certainly cost much. Last year the British public spent two hundred million pounds on pet food alone,_23_veterinary(兽医的)bills or animal furniture. It is difficult not to feel_24_with this when considering what the same amount could do for victims of starvation and poverty, so it is_25_for me to get hot under collar when I read an old man left all his money to his dog instead of his children.There are a variety of reasons why I find the popularity of British pets_26_. They cause physical problems. An example of this is New York where they have great difficulty getting rid of the mess that dogs leave on the streets. Many people find this funny, but in a number of large cities it is a major problem. Animals can cause disease, too. It is the threat of rabiesa disease with no known curethat has made the English government impose strict_27_on animals coming into the United Kingdom. When the Spanish government recently_28_a number of stray dogs as protection against the same threat, English tourists immediately wrote letters to the newspapers_29_about mass murder.Another problem is the_30_of pet owners. Most little children want a dog or a cat, and they continually push their mothers and fathers until they get one. It is only when the sweet little thing has been brought home that the parents realize how much time and money must be spent on Rover or Bonzo. Then they just_31_it. This brings me to my last point. Pets, which run free, are often not_32_at all. English farmers lose hundreds of sheep a year, killed by someones pet and you must have read of children being hurt by some pets of their own._33_, I would only suggest that we have got our_34_wrong and that something should be done about it. In my view, its time we stopped being sentimental about pets.20. A. alertB. surpriseC. disappointD. interest21. A. kindB. politeC. subjectD. available22. A. seldomB. farC. frequentlyD. totally23.

It is only when the sweet little thing has been brought home that the parents realize how much time and money must be spent on Rover or Bonzo.”可知，还有一个题是主人的欠考虑（thoughtlessness）。【31题详解】考查动词词义辨析。根据本空后的“It is only when the sweet little thing has been brought home that the parents realize how much time and money must be spent on Rover or Bonzo.”可知，由于花费太大，主人开始遗弃（abandon）宠物。【32题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。根据本空后的“English farmers lose hundreds of sheep a year, killed by someones pet”可知，宠物狗自由自在地跑这并不有趣（funny），因为一年之中有很多羊都被它们咬死了。【33题详解】考查副词词义辨析。根据本空后的“I would only suggest that”可知，此处与前面是因果关系，此处表示“所以”。【34题详解】考查名词词义辨析。根据本空后的“wrong and that something should be done about it. In my view, its time we stopped being sentimental about pets.”可知，此处是说我们把重点（priority）搞错了，我们是时候停止对宠物的爱了。Sec
