A.Astheyaredifferentnow

B.Differentaretheyasnow

C.Differentastheynoware

式寄。故正确答案为B。

walk,theonewemaytakeeveryday,isneverthesamefromoneday

toanother,fromoneweekandseasontoanother.

参考答案：步行唤回我们的知觉。我们看到的、听到的、闻到的世界与我们

乘车时感知到的世界绝对不一样。无论乘坐什么车，运动的是车，而不是我们

自己。我们被困在固定的环境里，一旦接受了它所给予我们的感觉，我们就封

闭了自己的知觉，不是睡觉，就是打开一本杂志，睁着眼睛打起盹来。可是当

我们步行的时候，周围的环境每时每刻都在变化，我们的知觉不断地为外界事

物所警示。在城市街道的每一处拐角，在乡间道路的每个转弯，总有一些新的

东西映入我们的眼帘，窜入我们的耳朵，扑入我们的鼻子。即使我们日复一

日，年复一年走着同一条路，但我们所感知的事物却没有一天是相同的。

参考解析：本题考查的翻译要点有：①givesth.back意为“把某物归还

给……”，这里指的应当是步行唤醒我们的知觉。②itis…that…属于强调句

式，所以应当同样把原句强调的东西点出来，即“运动的是车”。③trap

inside,被困在...里。④Butwhenwewalk…属于时间状语从句，要翻译成

“当...的时候”。⑤greettheeyes意为"映入眼帘"，此处greet不做

“欢迎”的意思。

［问答题］2.SectionB(10marks)

Translatetheunderlinedsentencesinthefollowingparagraphinto

English.Remembertowritetheanswersontheanswersheet.

77.近日，一份关于未来生活的报告称，超级摩天大楼、水下城市和3D打

印房屋将在100年内全部成为现实。(beareality)该报告由一群学者和未来

学家们撰写而成。他们表示，不出一个世纪，人们便有望住进向地下延伸至25

层的“摩地大楼”。

包括未来建筑师、城市规划专家和威斯敏斯特大学讲师在内的学者表示，

未来水下将建成一种“泡泡城市”，以使深水成为人类的宜居地。他们还相

信，个人无人机将成为一种主要的交通方式，并被当作一种未来派“骡子”，

用来载着整个家在世界各地度假旅行。

报告合作者、空间科学家玛吉•阿德林-波得克博士说：78.“我们今天的生

活和100年前相比发生了翻天覆地的变化，互联网彻底改变了我们交流、学习

和掌控生活的方式”。(revolutionise)

“就在10年前，像这样的技术仍是不可思议的，而如今，我们只需触碰一

下智能手机，便可监视、控制我们的生活空间。”

79.报告还表示，不仅家里的家具可以3D打印，就连整个房屋都可以复制

打印。(notonly-butalso)而在办公场所，全息图将使虚拟会议成为可能。

80.3D打印已经在食物上得到了应用，未来这一技术将变得更加智能。

(smart)只需几分钟，我们便可从中意的大厨那儿下载菜品，打印即食。

如今，商业太空飞行已是惯常之事，愈加智能的房屋也将装上能随情绪变

化的LED屏墙面，省去重新装修的需要，人们拓殖月球和火星也必将实现。

科学家称，智能手机革命已经引发了智能家居革命。81.我们的房屋将变得

更加智能，它可以检测各种物质的存在，如人、宠物、烟雾、湿度、灯光和水

分,而这还仅仅是个开始。(detect)

参考答案：77.Superskyscrapers,underwatercitiesand3D-printed

homeswillallbearealityin100years'time,accordingtoa

reportonlifeinthefuture.

【分析】beareality意为“成为现实”，be动词应当为句子的谓语，

reality为名词作表语。“摩天大楼"的英文是skyscraper。

78.Ourlivestodayhavechangedremarkablycomparedwithacentury

ago.TheInternethasrevolutionisedthewaywecommunicate,learnand

controlourlives.

【分析】revolutionise为动词，意为“彻底改变”，做句子的谓语。“翻天覆

地”可以用副词remarkably,修饰动词change。注意时态应当为完成时。

79.Thereportalsosuggestedthatnotonlywillfurnitureathome

become3D-printed,butentirehousescouldbeduplicatedandprinted.

【分析】notonly-butalso…属于固定句式，表示“不仅...还"。“打

印”对应动词print,复制对应动词duplicate。

80.3D-printingisalreadyusedinfood,anditwillbecomesmarterin

thefuture.

【分析】smart属于形容词，在这里对应"智能"。smart的比较级为

smarter0

81.Ourhomeswillbecomesmarterandcandetectthepresenceofall

kindsofmatter,likepeople,pets,smoke,humidity,lightingand

moisture.Andthisisjustthebeginning.

【分析】detect为动词，意为“检测”，翻译时做句子的谓语。”……的存

在”对应名词presence。湿度对应humidity。

［问答题］3.TherearefiveIQtestquestionsinthispart.Writethe

answersontheanswersheet.

WhatoccursonceinJune,onceinJulybuttwiceinAugust?

参考答案:TheletterU.

参考解析：由单词June、July和August的拼写可以看出，字母U在July和

June中只出现了一次，在August中出现了两次。

［问答题］4.Howmanymistakesarethereinthesentencebelow?

This

srntance

containes

two

mistakes.

参考答案：Fourmistakes.

参考解析：句子本身包含三个错误，“句子”的正确拼写是sentence,而不是

sentance0contain的第三人称单数应当为contains而不是containes；"错

误”的拼写应当是mistake而不是misstake；由于句子的拼写存在三个错误，

所以句子的描述“本句包含两个错误”也是错误的，所以一共四个错误。

［问答题］5.WhenIwas14,mymotherwas41andsheisnowtwiceasold

asIam.HowoldamI?

参考答案：27.

参考解析：当我14岁时，母亲41岁，可知母亲比我大27岁；所以当我27岁

时，母亲依然比我大27岁，是我的年龄的两倍。故答案为27。

［问答题］6.Moveonlytwomatchestomakesevensquares.

参考答案：'/1•

参考解析：将左上角的两根火柴移动至任一剩余的方块中，可以得到7个方

形。

参考答案：E

参考解析：由图形的规律可以推出，包含字母X的图形全黑，包含Y的图形带

有阴影，包含Z的图形带有横线；包含字母A的图形是方形，包含字母B的图

形是圆形，包含字母C的图形是三角形。所以问号图对应的是CZ,即E选项。

参考解析：范文首先概括了本图表的内容，是介绍2015到2018年之间内容付

费用户的数量增长状况，以及付费内容类型的所占比例。可以看出，2015年到

参考解析：本篇文章要求讨论明星收入过高，而相比之下，医生、教师这类平

凡却贡献巨大的工作岗位收入较低的这种现象是否公平。范文首先点出描述了

这一现象，并表达了自己的观点：明星确实工资过高，他们的工作并不能匹配

这样的工资。第二段陈述了明星工资高的部分理由，如运动明星的辉煌期只有

几年，电影明星也容易被年轻面孔取代。但是这些也并不足以解释其他为人类

服务的岗位工资低的缘由。随后在第三段，范文点出，科研人员和教师等职业

对人类的进步有重大贡献，但是却从未成为高收入人群。最后，对全文进行了

总结，明星的收益过高，教师等值得更高的工资。

［填空题］5.

参考答案：However

参考解析：前文提到，如果一个孩子经常听到两种语言，他们的大脑就会为每

种语言形成不同的通路。本句则又说，当大脑在七岁左右的时候巩固了这些语

言通路，就很难形成新的。所以前后两句表转折。故填However。
