第二部分：知识运用（共两节，45 分）
第一节 语法填空（共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，共 15 分）
二、分评
（一）具体知识模块考查方式
1. 语法填空：语法部分依然是以时态／非谓语为重要考点，其中时态题3 道，非谓语 2 道。此外，从句 1 道，连词 1 道，介词 1 道，名词单复数转换 1 道，形容词 1 道。因此，学生在平时语法复习过程中一定要抓住重要考点，并兼顾其他词性用法的学习，学会准确识别考点并熟练运用相应的解题步骤。
A
阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写 1 个适当的单词， 在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
The first time I saw May, she ___1___ (sit) in my front yard, hugging my dog Harley. She had just moved into a small house down the road from us. From the second I talked to her, I knew May would be a cherished friend. Her smile and good cheer made me feel better when I was around her.
It didn’t take long ___2___ May was beloved by everyone in our neighborhood. Children and adults visited her home often. When we visited her, she would kindly listen to all of our ___3___ (trouble) and then say something so wise that we would leave her home with our hearts ___4___ (sing).
【答案】1. was sitting 2. before 3. troubles 4. singing
【刘凯老师解析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了作者第一次见到朋友May的情景。
1题详解】考查时态。句意：我第一次见到梅的时候，她正坐在我家前院，抱着我的狗哈利。分析句子“The first time I saw May,”可知，此处应用一般过去时。分析句意可知，此处描述的是我第一见到May时，她正坐在我家前院里，应用进行时。由此可知，此处使用过去进行时。故填was sitting。
【2题详解】考查连接词。句意：没过多久，梅就受到了我们周围每个人的喜爱。It didn’t take long before..固定用法，意为“过了不久就……”。分析句子可知，此处表示没过多久，梅就受到了我们周围每个人的喜爱。故填before。
【3题详解】考查名词。句意：当我们去看她时，她会亲耳倾听我们所有的烦恼，然后说一些睿智的话，让我们在离开她的家时，心里都在歌唱。trouble名词，意为 “麻烦，烦恼”；当表示具体的麻烦事或烦恼时，是一个可数名词，由空前our可知，此处应使用名词复数。故填troubles。
【4题详解】考查with的复合结构。句意：当我们去看她时，她会亲耳倾听我们所有的烦恼，然后说一些睿智的话，让我们在离开她的家时，心里都在歌唱。分析句子可知，此处的sing与heart之间是主动关系，故填singing。
【刘凯老师点睛】“with+宾语+宾补”的复合结构是高中语法必考项之一。做这类题时一定要分析，动词与宾语之间的关系，若是表示主动或进行，则用dong；若是表示被动或完成，则用done；若是表示将要发生的事情，则用to do；其他请况，若是表示状态则可以用形容词、副词或介词短语来充当宾补。如第4小题，sing与heart之间是主动关系，所以应使用现在分词形式。
B
阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写 1 个适当的单词， 在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
We are drowning in a sea of free information. The Internet is in our businesses, homes and our bedrooms. An army of designers and data engineers spend their working life figuring out ways ___5___ (make) us stay plugged in longer. Our desires are repackaged by giant tech companies and then ___6___ (sell) back to us under the cover of free content, but it isn't free. We are paying for it with invisible currencies, such as our time and privacy, ___7___ people are only now beginning to understand.
【答案】5. to make 6. are sold 7. which
【刘凯老师解析】这是一篇议论文。我们淹没在自由信息的海洋中，互联网在我们身边各处。直到现在人们才意识到一直以来消费的都是自己的时间和隐私。
【5题详解】考查不定式作状语。句意：一大群设计师和数据工程师花费他们的工作时间，想办法让我们更长久地保持联系。分析句子可知，设计师和数据工程师的目的就是，想办法让我们更长久地保持联系。应使用不定式，表目的。故填to make。
【6题详解】考查语态。句意：我们的欲望被大型科技公司重新包装，然后在免费内容的掩护下卖给我们，但并不是免费的。分析句子可知，此处是and并列了两个谓语动词，时态应跟are repackaged保持一致，即一般现在时。且sell与主语our desires之间是被动关系，应使用被动语态。故填are sold。
【7题详解】考查非限制定语从句。句意：我们用无形的货币来支付，比如我们的时间和隐私，这些东西人们现在才开始了解。分析句子可知，空后是一个非限制定语从句，且从句中动词understand后缺宾语，应使用关系代词which引导。故填which。
C
阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写 1 个适当的单词， 在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。
Finding the opportunity to read can be a challenge, so it comes ___8___ (nature) that audiobooks (有声书) have become a preferred choice. ___9___ the help of audiobook, people can enjoy their favorite books while exercising or commuting to school. Audiobooks ___10___ (grow) in popularity up till now, for they are undoubtedly a useful way to escape the stresses of modern life and a good way to keep busy.
【答案】8. naturally 9. With 10. have grown/have been growing
【刘凯老师解析】这是一篇议论文。文章论述了有声读物给人们带来的好处。有声读物既是逃避现代生活压力的有用方法，也是保持忙碌的好方法。
【8题详解】考查副词。句意：寻找阅读的机会是一个挑战，因此有声读物自然成为首选。分析句子可知，此处修饰动词comes，应用副词形式。故填naturally。
【9题详解】考查介词。句意：在有声读物的帮助下，人们可以在锻炼或上下班上学时欣赏自己喜爱的书籍。固定搭配with the help of意为“在……的帮助下”，此处位于句首，首字母应大写。故填With。
【10题详解】考查时态。句意：有声读物到目前为止越来越受欢迎，为它们无疑是逃避现代生活压力的有用方法，也是保持忙碌的好方法。分析文章可知，句中有时间状语up till now，应该用现在完成时态；根据句意可知，有声读物越来越受欢迎这件事情将来还可持续下去，用现在完成进行时也符合题意。故填have grown/have been growing。
第二节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，共 30 分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
2.完形填空：文章题材仍延续了往年的出题风格，文体为记叙文。讲述的是“作者
要去参加沙利文秀的试镜，她朋友都觉得她不行，但是她还是决定参加，并且面带微笑，最终获得最后演出机会”的故事。题目考查数量为动词 10 题，名词 3 题，形容词 5 题，副词 1 题，连词 1 题。考生在答题时，动词题需关注动作的先后顺序、上下文逻辑，以及与其他词性的搭配，名词题需重点关注复现及上下文对应，形容词题和副词题需要关注对应的感情色彩；此外，本次完形填空还需要我们特别关注一词多义。

【刘凯老师点睛】完形填空的解题技巧之一就是要根据上下文来学会“推理”出最佳选项。同学们要遵循“上下求索”的原则来查找信息。例如，第17小题要求判断在什么中没有喷气式飞机。该题可根据They constantly needed performers for their new shows. This time they were looking for six dancers to support the star performer Jimmy Durante可知，作者是去为一次演出试镜。故选A项。
还可以根据生活常识进行解答。比如：6小题判断在镜子当中作者看到的东西，根据常识可知，作者看到的是自己的影子。故选C项。

My Grandpa Forgets Who I Am
我爷爷忘了我是谁【阿尔兹海默症“老年痴呆症”】
A few days ago I visited my grandfather in hospital. He has Alzhemier’s—a degenerative disease that usually starts slowly and gets worse over time. I thought I was prepared to see him. I knew chances were slim that he'd actually recognize me.
几天前我去医院看望了我的祖父。他患有阿尔兹密尔氏病，这是一种退行性疾病，通常发病缓慢，随着时间的推移病情会恶化。我以为我准备好见他了。我知道他认出我的机会很小。
He didn’t. As a matter of fact, he had no idea that he even had grandchildren. But he was excited that somebody came to visit him. I tried to explain to him who I was. But after he told me multiple times that he didn’t have grandchildren, I gave up. And my heart broke into a million little pieces.
他没有。事实上，他甚至不知道自己有孙子孙女。但他很高兴有人来看他。我试图向他解释我是谁。但在他多次告诉我他没有孙子后，我放弃了。我的心碎成无数小碎片。
I was tired of explaining things to him. So I just smiled. He smiled back. It's a genuine smile. Like a long time ago, when he’d take me by the hand and made this big world a little bit less scary for me. Now I have to take his hand.
We sat in silence for a little while, before he told me to call my grandma. This was the first time I had tried so hard to hold back tears. My grandma died four years ago and he didn't remember. He thought she was stuck on her way to pick him up.
我厌倦了向他解释事情。所以我只是笑了笑。他笑了。这是一个真诚的微笑。就像很久以前，他会牵着我的手，让这个大世界对我来说不那么可怕。现在我得拉着他的手。我们沉默地坐了一会儿，然后他让我给奶奶打电话。这是我第一次如此努力地忍住眼泪。我奶奶四年前去世了，他不记得了。他以为她在去接他的路上被困住了。
My grandpa used to be a strong, hard-working man. He was the person you turned to when you needed your car fixed, your tires changed or something heavy to be carried. Sadly, that man left this world a long time ago, and left behind a man that is lost and scared.
我爷爷曾经是一个强壮、勤劳的人。当你需要修车、换轮胎或搬运重物时，他是你求助的对象。可悲的是，那个人很久以前就离开了这个世界，留下了一个迷失和恐惧的人。
I want to help him. I want to make him feel better. I want to tell him about his old life, and how great it was. So I sat with him and I held his hand, and every once in a while I told him how good he looked and how much I liked the color of his shirt and how it brought out the blue in his eyes. I told him that my grandma was on her way whenever he asked about her, and I made sure the glass in his hand was always filled with water.
我想帮助他。我想让他感觉好点。我想告诉他他过去的生活，那是多么美好。所以我和他坐在一起，握着他的手，每隔一段时间，我就会告诉他，他看上去有多好，我有多喜欢他衬衫的颜色，以及它如何衬托出他眼睛里的蓝色。每当他问起奶奶时，我就告诉他她马上就来。我确保他手里的杯子里总是装满水。
I can’t take away his pain. I can’t help him remember. I can’t make the disease go away. All I can do is hold on to the memories—hold on for both of us.
我无法消除他的痛苦。我不能帮助他回忆。我无法使疾病消失。我所能做的就是保存这些回忆——为我们俩保存。

One day, gardeners might not just hear the buzz of bees among their flowers, but the whirr of robots, too. Scientists have managed to turn an unassuming drone (无人机) into a remote-controlled pollinator (授粉媒介) by attaching horsehairs coated with a special, sticky gel to its underbelly.
总有一天，园丁们不仅能听到蜜蜂在花丛中的嗡嗡声，还能听到机器人的嗡嗡声。科学家们成功地将一个谦逊的无人驾驶飞机到一个遥控授粉通过附加马鬃涂有一层特殊,粘性凝胶最隐秘的地方。
Animal pollinators are needed for the reproduction of 90% of flowering plants and one third of human food crops. Chief among those are bees — but many bee populations in the United States have been in steep decline in recent decades. Thus, the decline of bees isn't just worrisome because it could disrupt ecosystems, but also because it could disrupt agriculture and economy. People have been trying to come up with replacement techniques, but none of them are especially effective yet.
90%的开花植物和三分之一的人类粮食作物的繁殖都需要动物传粉者。其中最主要的是蜜蜂，但是最近几十年美国的蜜蜂数量急剧下降。因此，蜜蜂数量的减少不仅令人担忧，因为它会破坏生态系统，还会破坏农业和经济。人们一直试图想出替代技术，但没有一个是特别有效的。
Scientists have thought about using drones, but they haven't figured out how to make free-flying robot insects that can rely on their own power source without being attached to a wire. “It’s very tough work,” said senior author Eijiro Miyako, a chemist at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. His particular contribution to the field involves a gel, one he’d considered a mistake 10 years before and stuck in a storage cabinet. When it was rediscovered a decade later, it hadn’t dried up or degraded at all. “I was so surprised because it still had high viscosity,” Miyako said.
科学家们曾想过使用无人机，但他们还没有找到制造自由飞行的昆虫机器人的方法，这种昆虫可以依靠自己的能量来源，而不需要连接电线。这是一项非常艰巨的工作，国家高级工业科学技术研究所的化学家宫古荣次郎说。他对这一领域的特殊贡献包括一种凝胶，10年前他曾认为这是一种错误，后来被塞进了一个储物柜。十年后，当它被重新发现时，它并没有干涸或退化。宫古说:我很惊讶，因为它的粘度仍然很高。
The chemist noticed that when dropped, the gel absorbed an impressive amount of dust from the floor. Miyako realized this material could be very useful for picking up pollen (花粉). He and his colleagues chose a drone and attached horsehairs to its smooth surface to mimic a bee’s fuzzy body. They coated those horsehairs in the gel, and then controlled the drones over lilies, where they would pick up the pollen from one flower and then deposit the pollen at another one, thus fertilizing it.
化学家注意到，凝胶掉在地上时，吸收了地板上大量的灰尘。宫古岛意识到这种材料可以是非常有用的捡花粉。他和他的同事们选择了一架无人机，并在其光滑的表面粘上马毛，模仿蜜蜂毛茸茸的身体。他们在马毛上涂上凝胶，然后控制雄蜂在百合花上飞行，从一朵花上采集花粉，然后将花粉沉积在另一朵花上，使之受精。
The scientists looked at the hairs under a scanning electron microscope and counted up the pollen grains attached to the surface and found that the drones whose horsehairs had been coated with the gel had about 10 times more pollen than those that had not been coated with the gel.
科学家们在扫描电子显微镜下观察了这些毛发，计算了附着在其表面的花粉粒，发现涂了凝胶的雄蜂的花粉量是没有涂凝胶的雄蜂的10倍。
Miyako does not think such drones would replace bees altogether, but could simply help bees with their pollinating duties. There’s a lot of work to be done before that's a reality, however. Small drones will need to become more controllable and energy efficient, as well as smarter, with better GPS and artificial intelligence.
宫古并不认为这种无人机会完全取代蜜蜂，但它可以帮助蜜蜂完成授粉任务。然而，在这成为现实之前还有很多工作要做。小型无人机需要变得更可控、更节能、更智能，配备更好的GPS和人工智能。
38. What does the underlined word “viscosity” in Para.3 probably mean?
A. Hardness. B. Stickiness. C. Flexibility. D. Purity.
39. We can learn from the passage that ______.
A. bees disrupt both agriculture and economy
B. scientists have invented self-powered robot insects
C. bees in the United States are on the edge of extinction
D. Miyako found the special feature of the gel by chance
40. A drone works best in picking up pollen when ______.
A. its body is made like a bee’s
B. its GPS works more efficiently
C. some flowers are coated with the gel
D. horsehairs with the gel are attached to it
41. According to Eijiro Miyako, the drones ______.
A. are not yet ready for practical use
B. may eventually replace bees in the future
C. are much more efficient than bee pollinators
D. can provide a solution to economic depression
【答案】38. B 39. D 40. D 41. A
【刘凯老师独家解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了蜜蜂数量的减少令人担忧，因为这可能破坏生态系统，也可能破坏农业和经济。人们一直在试图想出替代技术，科学家们通过在马毛的下腹部贴上一层特殊的粘性凝胶，成功地将一种不起眼的雄蜂变成了一种遥控传粉器。
【38题详解】词义猜测题。根据第三段中“When it was rediscovered a decade later, it hadn’t dried up or degraded at all.”可知，十年后被重新发现时，凝胶根本没有干枯或退化。因此Miyako惊讶的是它仍然具有很高的粘性。结合选项，故选B。
【39题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“ His particular contribution to the field involves a gel, one he’d considered a mistake 10 years before and stuck in a storage cabinet. When it was rediscovered a decade later, it hadn’t dried up or degraded at all.”可知，Miyako是偶然间发现凝胶这种特殊特性的。结合选项，故选D。
【40题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The scientists looked at the hairs under a scanning electron microscope and counted up the pollen grains attached to the surface and found that the drones whose horsehairs had been coated with the gel had about 10 times more pollen than those that had not been coated with the gel.”可知，科学家们在扫描电子显微镜下观察了这些毛发，并对附着在表面的花粉粒进行了计数，发现那些马毛上涂有凝胶的雄蜂的花粉量大约是没有涂有凝胶的雄蜂的10倍。结合选项，故选D。
【41题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“ There’s a lot of work to be done before that's a reality, ”可知，在投入使用之前，还有很多工作需要做。故可知，这种无人机还未投入使用。结合选项，故选A。
D
“If I only had a little humility, I’d be perfect,” the media giant Ted Turner supposedly said sometime in the 1990s. Why be modest? Aristotle said: “All men by nature desire to know.” Intellectual humility is a particular instance of humility, since you can be down-to-earth about most things but still ignore your mental limitations.
“如果我有一点谦卑，我就完美了，”媒体巨头特德·特纳(Ted Turner)在上世纪90年代的某个时候说。为什么是适度的?亚里士多德说:“所有的人都有求知欲。”“智力上的谦逊是一种特别的谦逊，因为你可以脚踏实地地对待大多数事情，但仍然忽略你的智力限制。
Intellectual humility means recognising that we don’t know everything. Actually, it means we should acknowledge that we're probably biased in our belief about just how much we understand and seek out the sources of wisdom that we lack.
理智上的谦逊意味着承认我们并非无所不知。实际上，这意味着我们应该承认，我们可能在我们的信仰中有偏见，我们对自己的理解有多少，并寻找我们所缺乏的智慧的来源。
The Internet and digital media have created the impression of limitless knowledge at our fingertips. But, by making us lazy, they have opened up a space that ignorance can fill. The psychologist Tania Lombrozo of the University of California explained how technology enhances our illusions (错觉) of wisdom. She argues that the way we access information is critical to our understanding — and the more easily we can recall an image, word or statement, the more likely we’ll think we’ve successfully learned it, and so withdraw from effortful cognitive processing. Logical puzzles presented in an unfriendly font (字体), for example, can encourage someone to make extra effort to solve them. Yet this approach runs counter to the nice designs of the apps and sites that populate our screens, where our brain processes information in a “smooth” way. What about all the information that presents online? Well, your capacity to learn from it depends on your attitudes. Intellectually humble people don’t hide or ignore their weaknesses. In fact, they see them as sources of personal development, and use arguments as an opportunity to refine their views. People who are humble by nature tend to be more open-minded and quicker to resolve disputes, since they recognise that their own opinions might not be valid.
At the other end of the scale lies intellectual arrogance. Such arrogance almost always originates from the egocentric bias – the tendency to overestimate their own virtue or importance, ignoring the role of chance or the influence of other people’s actions on their lives. This is what makes these people credit success to themselves and failure to circumstance. From an evolutionary perspective, intellectual arrogance can also be seen as a way of achieving dominance through forcing one’s view on others. Intellectually arrogant people hardly invest mental resources in discussion or working towards group consensus, thus making it hard for groups to work successfully.
天平的另一端是智力上的傲慢。这种傲慢几乎总是源于以自我为中心的偏见，即倾向于高估自己的美德或重要性，忽视机遇的作用或他人的行为对他们生活的影响。这就是为什么这些人把成功归功于自己，把失败归于环境。从进化的角度来看，智力上的傲慢也可以被看作是通过强迫别人接受自己的观点来获得统治地位的一种方式。智力傲慢的人很难在讨论或工作中投入精神资源来达成团队共识，这使得团队很难成功工作。
The Thrive Center for Human Development in California, which seeks to help young people tum into successful adults, is funding a series of major studies about intellectual humility. Their hypothesis is that humility, curiosity and openness are key to a fulfilling life. “Without humility, you are unable to learn,” Laszlo Bock, Google’s Head of People Operations, notes.
位于加州的茁壮成长人类发展中心(Thrive Center for Human Development)致力于帮助年轻人成长为成功的成年人，该中心正在资助一系列有关智力谦逊的大型研究。他们的假设是，谦逊、好奇和开放是充实生活的关键。“没有谦逊，你就无法学习，”谷歌的人力运营主管拉兹洛博克(Laszlo Bock)指出。
42. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. the harm arrogance does to us
B. the key elements to a fulfilling life

始”。通篇来看，文章首段提出观点：“理财教育与日常生活息息相关”。第二段举例说明人们对理财知识的匮乏；第三段和第四段举例说明了理财教育对在社会中的重要性，最后一段提出了解决的方法是理财教育要从小开始。文章出题考查了 1 道段首题，2 道段中题，和 2 道段尾题。出题手法与往年相似，考查学生获取段落主旨、辨别段落内部细节、鉴别过渡性语句的能力。
When it comes to financial education, the majority of today's youth will regard it as a necessity for certain specific people who want to make their career in the financial world. ___46___ Actually, elementary financial education is a must for all, as money transaction is an essential part of our day-to-day life.
Suppose you have $100 in a saving account that pays simple interest at the rate of 2%per year. lf you leave the money in the account, how much will you have accumulated after 5 years: more than $102, exactly $102, or less than $102? The test might look simple, but only half of the people surveyed gave the correct answer.
___47___The explanation goes as follows: People with low levels of financial literacy suffer from that lack of knowledge at every stage of their lives. Researchers on this subject say people with a high degree of financial literacy are more likely to plan for their retirement. ___48___
On the contrary, people who have a lower degree of financial literacy tend to borrow more, accumulate less wealth, and pay more in fees related financial products. They are less likely to invest, more likely to experience difficulty with debt, and less likely to know the terms of their mortgages and other loans. Thus, the cost of this financial ignorance is very high. ___49___
What is the solution? ___50___ Like reading and math, financial education must become part of the core curriculum in our schools. Likewise, parents should engage in regular, constructive conversations about money matters. This will give their kids a solid foundation for financial well-being, which will keep on giving returns throughout the course of their lives.
A. Financial education must start early.
B. However, they miss an important point.
C. Why does each of us have to face a financial challenge?
D. Why does financial literacy matter so much in our society'?
E. Rich people are generally better educated on financial management.
F. Besides, these people have more than double the wealth of people who don’t.
G. For example, they frequently make late credit card payments, overspend their credit limit, etc.
【答案】46. B 47. D 48. F 49. G 50. A

【答案】 Last week, together with my classmates, I organized a meaningful activity with the theme “Say No to White Pollution”.
One evening, while I was reading a newspaper, a piece of news on white pollution caught my eye. The seriousness of this issue left me wondering what I should do as a citizen of the earth.
During a class break the next day, I shared the news with some of my classmates. We all agreed that something must be done to make a change, no matter how trivial it might seem. After a thorough discussion, we set our plan for a 2-day campaign and made some necessary preparations.
Last weekend, our plan became reality. At the front gate of Hongxing Community, we promoted the idea of environmental protection. Meanwhile, we gave out eco-friendly bags to passers-by, hoping that the bags could serve as a daily reminder of the green life we advocated. Impressed with our efforts, they all promised to do as best as they could to avoid white pollution.
Before the activity came to an end, I was interviewed by BTV, which meant I could make our message heard by a much larger crowd of people. What a pleasant surprise! While introducing what we had done, I couldn’t help but to picture the day when this issue was finally solved with every individual’s effort. The earth will surely be a better place then.
