【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了Al是一位有兩個(gè)兒子的藝術(shù)家。由于大意,他的長(zhǎng)子病死了;正在Al悲傷難過(guò)之際,他的妻子也離開(kāi)了他。Al悲傷絕望,酗酒度日,幾個(gè)月后死在一個(gè)小酒吧里。我認(rèn)為Al是一個(gè)徹底的失敗者,但后來(lái)從Al的小兒子身上看到了Al曾經(jīng)給予孩子的關(guān)愛(ài),改變了對(duì)Al的看法。

1句意:Al和他的妻子都認(rèn)為這只是普通的疾病,都沒(méi)有認(rèn)真對(duì)待這個(gè)情況。

考查形容詞辨析。usual通常的;common普通的;special特別的;serious嚴(yán)肅的。根據(jù)下文“neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously”可知Al和他的妻子都沒(méi)有認(rèn)真對(duì)待長(zhǎng)子的胃疼,因此夫妻倆都認(rèn)為這只是普通的疾病,故選B。

2句意:他知道如果他意識(shí)到情況的嚴(yán)重性,孩子本可以得以挽救,他總是感到內(nèi)疚。

考查動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去分詞辨析。saved挽救;taken帶走;killed殺害;brought帶來(lái)。分析題干可知,此處四個(gè)動(dòng)詞都是過(guò)去分詞的形式;根據(jù)下文“if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation”可知如果他意識(shí)到情況的嚴(yán)重性,孩子本可以得以挽救,故選A。

3句意:更糟糕的是,不久他的妻子也離開(kāi)了他,只留下他和六歲的小兒子相依為命。

考查動(dòng)詞辨析。helped幫助;asked詢問(wèn);loved愛(ài);left離開(kāi)。根據(jù)句意和下文的“leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son”可知只剩下他和六歲的小兒子相依為命,所以他的妻子離開(kāi)了他,故選D。

4句意:這兩種情況的傷害和痛苦讓Al無(wú)法承受,于是他從酒中尋找慰藉。

考查名詞辨析。happiness幸福;luck運(yùn)氣;pain痛苦;fun樂(lè)趣。分析句子成分可知,此處應(yīng)和前面名詞hurt傷害并列,所以也用表示不幸的名詞;又因下文“the two situations were more than Al could stand”可知這兩種情況所帶來(lái)的傷痛讓Al無(wú)法承受,所以此處用名詞“痛苦”,故選C。

5句意:這兩種情況的傷害和痛苦讓Al無(wú)法承受,于是他從酒中尋找慰藉。

考查名詞辨析及短語(yǔ)搭配。help幫助;interest興趣;sadness悲傷;work工作。根據(jù)句意和上文“and he turned to alcohol(酒精)for”可知,此處需要一個(gè)名詞,構(gòu)成turn to...for help“向……尋求幫助”的短語(yǔ),故選A。

6句意:Al大量飲酒,他開(kāi)始失去自己擁有的一切東西——他的土地、房屋等等。

考查不定代詞辨析。something某物;anything任何事物;nothing沒(méi)什么;everything一切。根據(jù)句意和下文的“he possessed(擁有)—his land, house, etc.”可知他的土地、房屋等都是他所擁有的一切東西,故選D。

7句意:聽(tīng)聞Al的死訊,我想:“多么沒(méi)有意義的一生!真是徹底的失敗!”

考查名詞辨析。life生命、生活;death死亡;health健康;happiness幸福。根據(jù)句意和上文“Finally Al died alone in a small bar”可知Al死在一個(gè)小酒吧里,此處表示Al的死亡,故選B。

8句意:他是我所認(rèn)識(shí)的最善良、最有同情心和最有愛(ài)心的人之一。

考查形容詞最高級(jí)。busiest最忙的;richest最富的;kindest最善良的;smartest最精明的。分析題干,此處和下文“most caring, most loving”形成并列,都用形容詞最高級(jí),并且應(yīng)該是表示心地善良的形容詞。根據(jù)句意和下文“kindness and caring had to come from somewhere”可知他的善良和關(guān)愛(ài)一定來(lái)自某處,所以此處用形容詞kind的最高級(jí),故選C

9句意:我看到了Ernie和他自己孩子之間的愛(ài),想到Ernie的善良和關(guān)愛(ài)一定來(lái)自某處。

考查名詞辨析。love愛(ài);hate恨;help幫助;work工作。根據(jù)下文“kindness and caring had to come from somewhere”可知他的善良和關(guān)愛(ài)一定來(lái)自某處,所以此處表示Ernie的愛(ài),故選A

10句意:Ernie柔聲說(shuō):“小時(shí)候直到18歲離家,爸爸每天晚上都會(huì)來(lái)我的房間,親吻我說(shuō),‘兒子,愛(ài)你’!

考查名詞辨析。brother兄弟;father父親;sister姐妹;friend朋友。根據(jù)前文提到在Ernie的哥哥過(guò)世和他媽媽離開(kāi)后,每晚來(lái)Ernie房間的只能是他的父親,故選B。

做完形填空時(shí),首先應(yīng)跳過(guò)空格通讀全文,明白文章大意,然后再做題。做題時(shí)記住“瞻前顧后想結(jié)果”這一原則,從詞義用法、固定搭配、邏輯推理和上下文的聯(lián)系等方面去綜合考慮。最后應(yīng)再把全文通覽一遍,細(xì)心檢查所選答案能否使短文上下連貫,前后呼應(yīng),詞句通順,意思完整。另外,平時(shí)還要多多積累詞匯。完型填空常考名詞、動(dòng)詞、形容詞和副詞等辨析。做詞義辨析題時(shí),首先要確認(rèn)四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的含義,然后分析語(yǔ)境和邏輯關(guān)系,確定答案。例如小題3,此處四個(gè)動(dòng)詞均為一般過(guò)去時(shí),helped幫助;asked詢問(wèn);loved愛(ài);left離開(kāi)。根據(jù)句意和下文“leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son”可知只剩下他和六歲的小兒子相依為命,所以他的妻子離開(kāi)了他,故選D

【題目】 Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on planet Earth. What many people don't know is that junk has become a problem in outer space too.

According to BBC News, there are more than 22, 000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes. There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can't see.

Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites(衛(wèi)星), move around the planet at very high speeds fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle(軌道).

To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.

To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth's atmosphere after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.

Many scientists also suggest different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth's atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed.

The problem is becoming more challenging because we're sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers,” says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space Researcher.

“The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become,” he says.

1What does the underlined word “these” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.Telescopes.B.Satellites.C.Pieces of space junk.

2Why is space junk considered a problem?

A.It burns up after it re-enters the atmosphere.

B.It could force new space tools to travel at slower speeds.

C.It may crash into other space tools causing damage or death.

3Countries want future space tools to be able to fall back into the earth's atmosphere so that________.

A.the tools can be reused later

B.the tools don't become space junk

C.the effects of space flight can be studied

4How do the Germans plan to deal with space junk?

A.Use robots to collect it.

B.Burn it in the earth's atmosphere.

C.Send it further away from the earth.

5In which section of the newspaper would you probably read this article?

A.Environment.B.Local News.C.Education.

【題目】先通過(guò)讀下面的短文,然后根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,在文章后表格的空格內(nèi)填入一個(gè)最恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。

Since the beginning of human evolution(演變,進(jìn)化), men have migrated(遷移) across continents() in search of food, shelter, safety, and comfortable weather. People still move for these reasons, but new reasons for human migration are arising, such as job relocation(重新安置) and overpopulation.

Three million migrants(移民) are moving from poor countries to wealthier ones each year, and increasingly, their destination(目的地) is a neighboring country in developing parts of the world. People are moving within the developing world for the same reasons as they migrate to wealthier nations. People from poor countries are going to less poor countries, getting away from wars and conflicts. They are also leading to population pressures because some countries are now crowded with people, and they often have high population growth. Those people need to go somewhere else.

There are three main reasons why people move. The basic kinds and percentages are as follows, according to the Current Population Surveys(CPS):

Family-related reasons account for 26.3%, including changes in marriage and other family reasons; work-related reasons 16.2%, including job transfer, retirement, and other job-related reasons; housing-related reasons 51.6%, including new and better houses, better neighborhood, cheaper housing and other housing reasons; the remaining 5.9% of other reasons are attending college, the change of climate and health reasons.

Americans have been migrating south and west for many years in search of better job opportunities and warmer climates. They have also been moving to places a little far from cities, in search of bigger yards and houses, lower crime rates and better schools. In 1950, nearly a fifth of the population lived in the nation’s 20 largest cities. In 2006, it was about one in ten. That’s why many American people say, “Big Cities Shrink as People Move South, West.” They like to live in the countryside.

Between March 2005 and March 2007, 73.4 million Americans moved. Fifty-six percent of these moves were within the same country. Some families even went abroad.

Title: People on the move

【題目】請(qǐng)閱讀這則新聞,根據(jù)所提供的信息,回答問(wèn)題,把答案寫(xiě)在相應(yīng)的位置上。

On October 28, 2018, a serious traffic accident happened in Chongqing. A bus and a red car collided (碰撞) at the second bridge of the Yangtze River. The bus ran out of control on the bridge and crashed into the river. All 15 passengers and the driver in the bus were killed.

At the beginning of the accident, many people doubted that the red car was going the wrong way, causing the bus to fall into the river. Others guessed that the accident was caused by the driver’s sudden illness. However, a few days later, based on the black box saved from the scene of the accident, together with the traffic records, the police announced the truth.

Before the bus reached the bridge, a female passenger had a quarrel with the bus driver because she missed her station, but the driver refused to stop the bus. So they got into a fight. Because the speed was very high, the bus was out of control.

People from all walks of life paid more attention to the accident and expressed their opinions. Some people think the woman passenger made the trouble without reason. She was regarded as the chief culprit(罪魁禍?zhǔn)?/span>). She shouldn't argue with the driver. Some people think drivers shouldn't fight with passengers and they should keep calm and put the passengers’ safety first at any time. As for the other passengers, they failed to dissuade (勸阻) them in time. Maybe they didn’t know the result would be so serious.

Nowadays, hundreds of people die or get injured(受傷的) on the roads every year in China. In my opinion, all of us should follow the rules and put the safety in our heart.

【題目】 These years, big changes to city life in China have attracted the world. Among them, four stand out. They are famous as “China’s four great modern inventions”.

Online shopping

China has many big online shopping platforms, such as Taobao, T-mall and JD.com. They have made online shopping a lifestyle choice for many people in China. Taobao even started “online shopping festival”, the Double Eleven. It’s reported that Taobao and T-mall may have more than 800 million goods. Their company Alibaba has developed into the world’s largest ecommerce(電子商務(wù)) company.

Bike sharing

Bike sharing is not a new idea. But China has given it a whole new meaning. It encourages people to ride the public-sharing bike over short distances, aiming to solve the “l(fā)ast mile” problem in big cities. We use mobile apps or cards to unlock bikes. We can leave the shared bikes at any bike station. This makes bike sharing much easier.

Cashless payment(無(wú)現(xiàn)金支付)

In China, now you don’t need cash or bankcards to buy things. You could just pay with your mobile phone. You can scan(掃描) a store’s QR code(二維碼) to pay. Even a fruit seller on the roadside has a QR code for WeChat Pay or Alipay.

High-speed trains

On September 21, China’s new high-speed train Fuxing made its first run from Beijing to Shanghai. It ran at a speed of 350 km/h. This makes it the fastest train in the world. China has the world’s longest high-speed railway network. It’s more than 22,000 kilometers leading the game in these areas. And they are greatly changing people’s lives.
