B.Strongandhelpful.C.Smartbutnoisy. D.Braveanddetermined.【答案】4.B5.C6.D7.D【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了一个勇敢的叫Mera的狗，不畏艰辛与登山队员一起登上了尼泊尔的巴伦茨山（MountBaruntse）山顶，打破了世界纪录。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“MerawaseasilyfrightenedwhentheclimbersfirstmetherdowninthevillageofKhare(当登山者第一次在哈雷村遇到梅拉时，她很容易受到惊吓)”可知，Mera在登山之前，给人的印象是，她很容易受到惊吓。因此，当登山者第一次遇见梅拉时，B项“Clearlyitwaseasyforhertobescared.(很显然，她很容易受到惊吓)”符合题意。故选B项。【5题详解】句意猜测题。根据“Innotimetheywerelikepeasandcarrots.Donhappilysharedhissleepingbag,tent,andmealswithhisnewcompanionwhilethecrewwashikingtotheMountBaruntseBaseCampoverthenexttwoweeks.(很快，他们就像豌豆和胡萝卜。在接下来的两个星期里，当队员们徒步前往巴伦斯山营地时，唐高兴地和他的新同伴分享他的睡袋、帐篷和食物。)”可知，探险队的领队Don非常喜欢Mera，他与Mera同吃同住了两个星期，可见他们之间相处非常愉快。因此，第二段中这个句子“theywerelikepeasandcarrots”的意思是他们相处地非常好，形影不离，就像豌豆与胡萝卜一样，C项“theygotalongverywelltogether(他们相处的非常好)”符合题意，故选C项。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“Afterreachingthelastmountaincampbeforethesummit,theclimbingcrewleftMerasleepinginDon’stentwiththehopethatshewouldnottrytofollowthemupthesteepclimb.(到达山顶前的最后一个登山营后，登山队员把Mera留在Don的帐篷里，希望她不要试图跟着他们爬陡峭的山峰。)”可知，最后登山队员要爬的这个山峰很陡峭，他们认为，爬这个山峰对于Mera来说很危险，因此，他们把Mera留在Don的帐篷里睡觉。D项“theclimbwasmoredangerousforher(这次攀登对Mera来说更加危险)”符合题意。故选D项。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“whenshesuddenlyboundedupnexttothemwhiletheywerecomingdownanothermountainat17,000feet.(当他们从17000英尺高的另一座山下来时，她突然跳到他们旁边，他们都很震惊。)”以及第三段“HalfanhourintoourclimbIfeltatickle（发痒）onthebackofmyknee.IlookeddownandsawMerafollowingrightbehindmejustlikebefore.(爬了半个小时后，我感到膝盖后面一阵痒。我低头一看，发现梅拉跟在我身后，跟以前一样。)”以及最后一段“Donwasthensurprisedwhenhelaterturnedaroundat22,000feetinordertotakeaphotoonlytoseeMeraclimbingtowardsthemslowly.(当唐后来在22000英尺高的地方转身拍照时，唐惊讶地发现梅拉慢慢地向他们爬去。)”可知，在爬山的整个历程中，Mera始终紧紧跟随着登山队员，不管山峰多么陡峭，即使她被留在营地，她也会在后来跟上去，直到最后她跟队员们一起登上了山顶。因此，Mera是一个勇敢而又坚定的狗狗。最好的描述Mera的词语就是D项“Braveanddetermined.(勇敢而又坚定)”符合题意，故选D项。CLawmakersinMassachusettshaveintroducedalawthatwouldbanchildrenintheseventhgradeoryoungerfromplayingtacklefootball（冲撞式橄榄球）.TheActforNoOrganizedHeadImpactstoSchoolchildren,ortheNOHITSAct,wasintroducedlastmonthinanefforttoprotectchildren’sheadsfromblowswhileataparticularlyfragileage.Thebill,whichwouldstillallowflagortouchfootballtobeplayed,wouldcausefinesofupto$2,000foreachtimethelawisbroken.Peoplewhofrequentlybreakthelaw,orthosewhoseactionscausephysicalharm,wouldfacebiggerfines.“It’sallaboutkids’healthandwehaveanumberofstudiesthatsaythatrepeatedcontacts（接触）totheheadareverybadforyouandtheyoungerthatstarts,theworseitis,"saidRep.PaulA.SchmidIII（D）,whointroducedthebillwithHouseMinorityLeaderBradleyJones（R）.Accordingtoa2017studypublishedintheJournaloftheAmericanMedicalAssociation,researchersexamining111brainsbelongingtoformerNFL（NationalFootballLeague）playersfoundthebraindiseaseChronicTraumaticEncephalopathy,orCTE,in110ofthem.Thediseaseisassociatedwithrepeatedheadinjuries,notjustconcussions（脑震荡）,andisgenerallyfoundinathletes,retiredsoldiersandotherswithahistoryofrepetitivebraininjuries,accordingtotheConcussionLegacyFoundation,anon—profitorganizationthatworkstostudy,treatandpreventfuturecasesofbraininjuriesamongathletesandotherat—riskgroups.Similarlawshavebeenconsideredelsewhereinthecountry,includingCaliforniaandIllinoislastyear,thoughtheydidn’tsecureenoughvotestobecomelaw.Thoseagainstpreviouslyproposed（提议的）banshavearguedthatadequateprogresshasbeenachievedtomakethesportsaferandthatthesportofferstoomanybenefitsforchildrentototallyavoidit.SeveralformerNFLplayers,whohavebeendirectlyorindirectlyaffectedbyCTE,haveargueddifferently,however.“Imadethemistakeofstartingtacklefootballat9yearsold.Now,CTEhastakenmylifeaway.Youthtacklefootballisallriskwithnoreward,"ProFootballHallofFamerNickBuonicontitoldCNNlastyear.8.WhywasthelawintroducedbylawmakersinMassachusetts?A.Tomaketacklefootballsaferforplayers.B.Tobanchildrenfromdoingsportstooyoung.C.Toencouragethepopularityofsomesafesports.D.Tokeepyoungchildrenfromsufferingbraininjuries.9.WhatisParagraph2mainlyabout?A.Thereasonwhythesportisforbidden.B.Theconsequencesofbreakingthenewlaw.C.ThecausesofthenewlawinMassachusetts.D.Thefinesofplayingtacklefootballincorrectly.10.Whatdoestheauthorwanttoshowbymentioningthe2017study?A.Futurecasesofbraininjuriescanbereduced.B.NFLplayersusedtopaymuchattentiontoCTE.C.Repeatedheadblowscanresultinbraindiseases.D.Braininjuriescanreallybepreventedwithaction.11.WhichwouldmostprobablyshowNickBuoniconti’sopinion?A.Tacklefootballislessdangerousthanpeoplethink.B.Youngchildrenshouldavoidplayingtacklefootball.C.Tacklefootballshouldbemadeeasiertoplaythanbefore.D.Youngchildrenoftenmakemistakeswhileplayingtacklefootball.【答案】8.D9.B10.C11.B【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在Massachusetts律师们出台了一项禁止七年级或以下孩子玩冲撞式橄榄球的法律，并解释了出台这个法律的原因。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“TheActforNoOrganizedHeadImpactstoSchoolchildren,ortheNOHITSAct,wasintroducedlastmonthinanefforttoprotectchildren’sheadsfromblowswhileataparticularlyfragileage.”(上个月，为了保护儿童在特别脆弱的年龄段头部不受撞击，该法案或“禁止撞击行为”出台)可知，该法律出台的原因是为了确保小孩子免受脑部受伤。故选D项。【9题详解】主旨大意题。根据第二段内容“Thebill,...,wouldcausefinesofupto$2,000foreachtimethelawisbroken.Peoplewhofrequentlybreakthelaw,orthosewhoseactionscausephysicalharm,wouldfacebiggerfines.”(根据该法案，但一旦违反该法，将被处以高达2000美元的罚款。那些经常违法的人，或者那些行为造成身体伤害的人，将面临更大的罚款)可知，本段主要是在说明如果违反新法律都会受到相应的罚款。即违反新法律的后果。故选B项。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据文中“Thediseaseisassociatedwithrepeatedheadinjuries,notjustconcussions（脑震荡）,andisgenerallyfoundinathletes,retiredsoldiersandotherswithahistoryofrepetitivebraininjuries,”(通过2017年的研究报告可知这种疾病是跟反复的头部损伤有关，而不仅仅是脑震荡，而且常见于运动员、退役军人和其他有反复性脑损伤病史的人身上。)可知，作者通过2017研究想要表达的是：反复的头部打击会导致脑部疾病。故选C项。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据文中最后一段“Imadethemistakeofstartingtacklefootballat9yearsold.Now,CTEhastakenmylifeaway.Youthtacklefootballisallriskwithnoreward,"ProFootballHallofFamerNickBuonicontitoldCNNlastyear.”(NickBuoniconti认为他9岁开始玩冲撞式橄榄球是他的一个错误，现在CTE已经夺走了他的生命。青少年冲撞式橄榄球运动是一种没有回报的冒险。)可推知，NickBuoniconti很有可能认为小孩子应该避免玩冲撞式橄榄球。故选B项。【点睛】对于细节理解题，考生需要在做题时要结合问题，将选项与原文进行一一对比，然后进行逐一筛选，才可以找到正确答案，做题时也需要考生足够细心。如第3小题，根据文中“Thediseaseisassociatedwithrepeatedheadinjuries,notjustconcussions（脑震荡）,andisgenerallyfoundinathletes,retiredsoldiersandotherswithahistoryofrepetitivebraininjuries,”可知，通过2017年的研究报告可知这种疾病是跟反复的头部损伤有关，而不仅仅是脑震荡，而且通常见于运动员、退役军人和其他有重复性脑损伤病史的人身上，结合选项，A项：脑损伤在未来会减少；B项：NFL运动员过去常常更关注CTE；C项：反复的头部撞击会导致脑部疾病；D项：脑部损伤真地可以用行为阻止。C项是作者通过2017研究想要表达的意思。故选C项。DThereishopeforourplanet’ssurvival.Innovativeproductsarebeingdesignedtoreduceourrelianceonplastic,single—useplasticinparticular.OnesuchinnovationcomesfrominternationaldesignfirmCarloRattiAssociatiwithits“FeelthePeel”machine,anexperimentalroundedjuicebarthatnotonlymakesfreshlysqueezedorangejuice,butalso3Dprintsarecyclablebioplasticcupwiththeleftoverorangepeels.DesignedwithglobalenergycompanyEni,thejuiceris10feettallandtoppedwithamassivedome（圆顶）,feedingthejuicerwithorangesondemand.Thedomeismadeupofroundtracksthatholdupto1,500oranges.A3Dprinterissetupinthebaseofthemachine.Themachinegoeslikemagic.Whenanorderisplaced,theorangesslidedownthetrackstoasqueezer,andthejuiceisthendepositedintoan“orangepeel”bioplasticcup,readytoenjoy.Meanwhile,thefreshlysqueezedpeelsfalldownatubeandaccumulateatthebottomofthemachinewheretheyaredried,milled（碾磨）andmixedwithPolylacticAcid,creatingabioplasticmaterial.Thebioplasticisthenheatedandmeltedintoafilamentandthe3Dprinterthencreatesrecyclablebioplasticcups,readytobefilledwithfreshlysqueezedjuice.Howcoolthatis!ItseemsthatCarloRattiAssociatiandEnihaveplanstotakeFeelthePeelbeyondjustorangejuice.“Theprincipleofcircularityisamustfortoday’sobjects,”saysCarloRatti.“WorkingwithEni,wetriedtoshowcircularityinaverytangible（有形的）way,bydevelopingamachinethathelpsustounderstandhoworangescanbeusedwellbeyondtheirjuice.ThenextimprovementofFeelthePeelmightincludenewfunctions,suchasprintingfabricforclothingfromorangepeels.”12.Whatistheaimofcreatingthe“FeelthePeel”machine?A.Todesigninnovativeproducts.

无论你目前生活中的挑战是什么，要知道它会帮助你成长和扩展。)”可知，生活中有许多挑战，利用你遇到的挑战来帮助你建立自信。选择项中的“challenge”与前句的“challenges”相一致。故选E。第三部分英语知识运用（共两节,满分30分）第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Whenyouarestormchasing（追逐）,mostmorningsstartoffinacheaphoteltryingtorememberwhereyouendedupthenightbefore.Thismorning,wewereinWichita,Kansas,midwaythroughaprojectto___21___thedramaticanddestructiveweatherthattravelsacrossthemiddleoftheUnitedStateseveryspring.Weloadedthecarwithour___22___,andoffwewent,drivingundercloudlessblueskiesforhundredsofmiles.Thenwereachedtheborderofourtargetedstormandenteredadarksceneofcloudsandoccasionalrain.Aswe___23___theheartofthestorm,wefoundourselves___24___withhighwinds,violentrain,andseverehail（冰雹）,PhotographerKrystle,atthewheel,___25___togetinfrontofthestorm,butitwasmovingtoofast.Wecould___26___keeppacewithit.Thenwecaughtsightofsomething___27___,createdbythestorm：arain—wrappedtornadohalfamiletoourright.Thechaoticconditionsmadeit___28___forustokeepitinsight.Welostourcellphonesignalsandallthedataweweredesperately___29___forcommunication.Wecouldn’tseebeyond20feet.ThatwaswhenNick,ourexpeditionleaderandweatherexpert,called,“Wehavetoflee.”Krystle____30____changeddirection,drivingthecarnorthontoacountryroad,____31____themadnessofthatdangerouschase.Weweren’tdone.Afterastretchofclearskies,wefoundanother____32____waitingforus.Thistime,we____33____togetinfrontofit,stoppingtophotographitandracingbacktothecarto____34____itsextremeanger.Alittlepastmidnight,weletthestormgo.Wewatchedasthelightning—filledcloudrolledaway,displayingthenightsky—abeautiful____35____forthosereckless（不顾危险的）enoughtoseekit.21.A.recognize
