D.Surprised.【答案】12.B13.D14.D15.A【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一款由荷兰的Lightyear公司研发的太阳能电动汽车。【12题详解】细微环节理解题。由第一段中的“whichcanconstantlyrefillitspowerusingthesunandtravelarangeofupto800kmwhenfullypowered.That’sjustthestart:Thecompanyclaimsthatinsunnyenvironments(say,Hawaii),theOnecouldpotentiallydriveformonthsatatimebetweencharges.(它可以通过太阳能不断补充能量，在充溢能量的状况下可以行驶800公里。这仅仅是个起先：该公司声称，在阳光足够的环境下（比如夏威夷），theOne可能一次充电可以行驶数月)”可知，最影响这款车的最大续航里程的因素是天气。在阳光足够的环境下，该车可以开好几个月而不须要通过插座充电。故选B。【13题详解】词句揣测题。依据前一句“Thesolarpowercollectedbythecar’spanelscouldbeusedtopowermorethanjusttheOneitself,allowingownerstoconnecttheenergytotheirhomes,devices,andevenotherelectriccars.

(汽车面板收集的太阳能不仅可以为汽车本身供电，还可以让车主将能源连接到他们的家庭、设备甚至其他电动汽车上)”可知，这款车相当于一个可移动的电能共享系统，这是一个很好的创意。由此可知，“This”指的是“Themobilepower-sharingsystem.(移动电源共享系统)”。故选D。【14题详解】推理推断题。由第五段中的“Lightyear’sfoundersaren’tnewtothesolarcar...ThecompanywasstartedbyfiveformermembersofSolarTeamEindhoven,thegroupthatcreatedthefour-seat,solar-poweredcarStellawhichhittheUSstreetsbackin2014.(Lightyear的创始人对太阳能汽车并不生疏，这使得One比其他几乎没有真实数据支持的新概念略显可信。这家公司是由5名前Eindhoven太阳能团队的成员创立的，该团队于2014年创建了四座太阳能汽车斯特拉，并在美国街头上市)”可知，介绍斯特拉太阳能车是为了说明theOne的独创者们的相关工作背景。故选D。【15题详解】推理推断题。尽管作者对这款新型汽车能否像公司宣称的那样精彩不确定，但是全文作者旨在介绍这款新型汽车，并在最终一句“Ifthecompanysucceeds,however,wecouldbelookingatanewfuture

ofcars,directlypoweredbythesun.(然而，假如该公司胜利了，我们将看到干脆由太阳能驱动的汽车的新将来)”表达了作者对这款革命性汽车的将来的期盼。由此可知，作者对theOne充溢了期盼。故选A。其次节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选岀可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。HowtolivewithanelderlypersonLivingwithanelderlypersonhasbothrewardsandchallengesforeveryoneinvolved.____16____Bothpartiesneedtobepatientandunderstandtheiruniquelivingsituationinordertomakeitwork.Herearesometipstolivewithanelderlyperson.Communicatewithyourelderlyroommate.____17____Ifyoudon’tcommunicate,youwon’tknoweachother’sproblemsandconcerns.Asaresult,youwon’tbeabletoformarelationshipthatrespectsbothofyouruniquequalities.____18____Bothpartiesneedtocometoanagreementabouteachother’sspace,independence,andautonomy(自主性).Youneedtounderstandwhatyourelderlypersoniscomfortablewithwhenitcomestobeingassisted.Talktothemabouttheirexpectationsaboutyourrelationship.Discussuseofsharedspacelikethebathroom,kitchen,orlivingroom.Figureoutfinances.Figureoutwhopaysforwhataheadoftime.Havingfinancesdecidedandagreeduponaheadoftimecouldsaveyoufromaheadacheorevenlegalfeesinthefuture.Recordswillmakeabigdifferencehere,soifyoustartoutknowingwhopaysforwhat,andhaveitwrittendown,youareaheadofthegame.____19____Givethepersonprivacy.Whenpossible,theyshouldhaveasmuchprivacyandpersonalspaceasitispracticaltoallow.Don’tturnyourselfintoacaregiver.Don’tbecomeanursewithoutneed.____20____Alwayscommunicatefirstifyouareconcernedaboutyourelderlyroommate.A.Decideboundaries.B.Respecteachother.C.Don’tleavethemalone.D.Don’tentertheirpersonalspace.E.Thiswillhelpyouavoidproblemsinthefuture.F.Communicationisthemostimportantelementofanyrelationship.G.Butwealsoneedtorespecttheneedofolderpeopletofeelindependent.【答案】16.G17.F18.A19.E20.D【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何和老人一起生活。【16题详解】依据上文“Livingwithanelderlypersonhasbothrewardsandchallengesforeveryoneinvolved.（和老人住在一起对每个人来说都是一种嘉奖和挑战。）”和下文“Bothpartiesneedtobepatientandunderstandtheiruniquelivingsituationinordertomakeitwork.（双方都须要耐性，了解他们独特的生活状况，以便使其工作。）”可知，空处与上文形成转折关系，说明要敬重老年人独立的须要。故选G。【17题详解】空处为该段主题句“Communicatewithyourelderlyroommate.（和你年长的室友沟通）”的支撑句，下文提到了“Ifyoudon’tcommunicate,youwon’tknoweachother’sproblemsandconcerns.（假如你们不沟通，你们就不会知道彼此的问题和担忧。）可知，此处为不沟通造成的不良后果。F项中的“Communication”为关键词，与上下文呼应。故选F。【18题详解】空处为段落主题句。依据下文“Bothpartiesneedtocometoanagreementabouteachother’sspace,independence,andautonomy…Discussuseofsharedspacelikethebathroom,kitchen,orlivingroom.（双方须要就彼此的空间、独立性和自主权达成一样。你须要了解你的老人接受帮助时的舒适程度。和他们谈谈他们对你们关系的期望。探讨共享空间的运用，如浴室，厨房，或客厅。）”可知，本段是在说明确定各自的边界，包括空间和情感上的边界。A项：Decideboundaries.（确定边界）符合语境。故选A。【19题详解】空处为段落结尾句。依据上文“Recordswillmakeabigdifferencehere,soifyoustartoutknowingwhopaysforwhat,andhaveitwrittendown,youareaheadofthegame.（记录在这里会有很大的不同，所以假如你起先知道谁为什么买单，并把它写下来，你就占了主动权。）”可知，该句总结了这样做的结果。E项：Thiswillhelpyouavoidproblemsinthefuture.（这将帮助你避开将来的问题。）符合语境。故选E。【20题详解】依据上文“Don’tturnyourselfintoacaregiver.Don’tbecomeanursewithoutneed.（不要把自己变成一个照看者。不要成为没有须要的护士。）”可知，空处与前两句构成并列关系，且D项中的“personalspace”和本段的主题句“Givethepersonprivacy.（给对方隐私）。”对应。故选D。第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Itwasoneafternoon,onlyafewweeksintotheschoolyearatEdgewoodPrimarySchool.JuliaKoch,afirstgrade____21____,receiveda(n)____22____fromCynthiaPhillips,havingtechnicaldifficultieswithhergranddaughter’stoolsforonlinelearning.Kochimmediately____23____somethingwaswrongwithPhillips.Thetwowomenhad____24____alotbefore,butshehadneverheardthegrandmothersoundquitelikethis.Herwordswereso____25____thatKochcouldbarelyunderstandher.Kochcalledherheadmaster,DanielSmith,who____26____herthathewouldcallandcheckonPhillipshimself.JustlikeKoch,Mr.SmithcouldhardlyunderstandPhillips.He____27____shemightbehavingastroke(中风)—herecognizedthe____28____fromwhenhisownfatherhadsufferedone.Mr.Smithwasableto____29____theword“kids”andimmediatelybecame____30____thatPhillips’stwograndchildren,agedsixandeight,wereprobablyhomealonewithher,and____31____.Mr.Smithcalledanambulanceandthenrushedtherewithtwomen.Whentheypulleduplessthantenminuteslater,____32____weretreatingPhillips,thetwochildren____33____shocked.ThankGoodness!Phillipssurvived.“I’mproudofthepeopleIworkwith,thatthey____34____soquicklyandthatitdidmakeadifferenceforMrs.Phillips,”saysKoch.“Iamsopleasedtobepartofsucha(n)____35____community.”21.A.freshman
