B.Astonished.C.Touched. D.Upset.答案A解析推理判断题。根据第四段末句中的“...anditturnedoutperfect”和第五段中的“...shedeservesallthespecialarrangements...I’mdoinggoodparenting”可以推断出,这位父亲对这次为女儿准备的惊喜是非常满意的(content)。所以选项A正确。23.WhydidMelendezplanthesurpriseforSolymar?A.Togetinvolvedinherschoollife.B.Toshowhisconcernforherinaspecialway.C.Tobuildastrongemotionalbondwithher.D.Tomakeupforwhatshelostinhergrowth.答案D解析推理判断题。根据第四段的描述可知,Solymar的父亲在外工作,把她托付给他的姐姐照顾,这次提前回来并在他姐姐和学校的帮助下安排了这次特别的见面。同时结合第五段父亲的话可以看出,他之所以这样做就是为了弥补(makeupfor)Solymar在成长过程中缺失的父爱。所以选项D正确。24.Whatcanbethebesttitleforthepassage?A.Father’sSelflessLoveforHisDaughterB.GirlExpectingtheReturningofHerDadC.GirlSurprisedatSchoolbyHerDad’sReturnD.FatherandDaughter’sExpectedReunion答案C解析主旨大意题。根据全文的内容,尤其是首段第一句中的“untilanunexpectedvisitorarrived”以及末段中的“Melendezsaidofbeingabletosurprisehisdaughterthisway.”可知,父亲为了给女儿一个惊喜,所以提前回家,并在女儿所在的教室精心准备了这次见面。所以选项C更加直接,并具有概括性,因此适合作标题。B导学号06844050DoyousupposeDarwin,oneofthegreatestscientistsofalltime,reallydidfools’experiments?Ordidhedoexperimentsthatweresosimpleandbasicthatotherpeoplejustthoughttheywerefoolish?Sometimes,peoplethinktheyalreadyknowtheanswertoaquestionorthesolution(解决办法)toaproblem.Sometimes,theyreallydoknowananswerorasolution,butwithoutthinkingtheyareimportant.CharlesDarwindidn’tsettlefor(满足于)justthinkingheknewsomething.And,hebelievedallthingscouldbeimportanthoweversimpletheyseemedtobe.Supposeyoudropsheetsofpaperthatareexactlythesamesizeandshape.Ifyoudropthematthesametimeinthesameplace,theywillfallinthesameway.Nowmakeoneofthesheetsofpaperintoatight(紧的)littleballandletitdropalongwiththeothersheet.Whathappens?Youhavedoneanexperimentthatissosimplethatyoumightthinkitcouldn’tbeworthanything.Butthissimpleexperimentisimportant.Itexplainspartofourpresent-dayunderstandingofsomephysicsideasthatwereworkedoutlongagobyGalileoandNewton.AndtheseunderstandingssetasidesomeofancientGreekphysics.

A.wasagreatEnglishscientistB.alwayslikeddoingtheexperimentsthatothersthoughtdifficultC.thoughteventhesimplestthingwasimportantD.didn’tgetwellwithothers答案C解析推理判断题。短文并没有说CharlesDarwin是哪个国家的科学家,可排除A项;由第三段Darwin的许多实验都看似很简单,可把B项排除;文中没有论述Darwin与人相处的事情,可排除D项。由第三段中的“hebelievedallthingscouldbeimportanthoweversimpletheyseemedtobe.”可推出答案为C项。26.Theunderlinedphrase“setaside”mostprobablymeans“”.

A.throwaway B.storeupC.puttouse D.realize答案A解析词义猜测题。由上文可知作者认为做这个简单实验是重要的,它解释了目前人们对于物理方面的理解。因此这些理解当然是推翻了一些希腊物理学的观点。由此可推知setaside与throwaway同义。27.Theauthorofthepassagetriesto.

A.theycaredaboutkids’healthB.theyaregoodatplayingbridgeC.theyareworld-famoussuccessfulbusinesspartnersD.theymadeeffortstoencouragebridgeplayingamongkids答案D解析推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“In2019,BillGatesandWarrenBuffettgave$1milliontohelpstartbridgeprogramsinschools.”及“Bridgeplayers...startednineyearsago.”可知,本段提到比尔·盖茨和巴菲特是为了展现他们在发展桥牌上所做的努力及贡献。32.InSarah’seyes,bridgeis.

A.easy B.creativeC.childish D.interesting答案D解析推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Sheenjoysplaying...keepplayingwhensheisincollege.”及“...issomethingyoucanplayforalongtime.”可知,Sarah认为桥牌运动很有趣。D导学号06844052ThemostimportantdayHelenKellerrememberedinallherlifewastheoneonwhichherteacher,AnneSullivan,cametoher.Itwasthreemonthsbeforeshewassevenyearsold.Ontheafternoonofthatday,Helenknewthatsomethingwashappening.Shewentoutsideandwaitedatthedoorofthehouse.Shecouldfeelthesunonherfaceandshecouldtouchtheleavesoftheplants.Thenshefeltsomeonewalkingtowardsher.Shethoughtitwashermotherandshewenttoherandheldherclose.Thiswastheteacherwhohadcometoteachallthingstoherand,aboveall,toloveher.Thenextmorning,theteachertookherintoherroomandgaveheradoll.WhenHelenwasplayingwithit,MissSullivanslowlyspelledtheword“d-o-l-l”ontoherhand.Helenlearntalotofwordslikethis.Aftertheteacherhadbeenwithherforseveralweeks,Helenunderstoodthateverythinghadaname.OnedayHelendidn’tunderstandthedifferencebetween“mug”and“water”.Shebecameangryandthrewthedollonthefloor.Inherquiet,darkworldshedidn’tfeelsorryfordoingit.Thenherteachertookheroutintothewarmsunshine.Theywalkeddowntothewellwheresomeonewasdrawingwater.Herteacherputherhandunderthewaterandspelledtheword“w-a-t-e-r”atthesametimeinherotherhand.Suddenly,Helenfeltanunderstanding.Sheknewthenthat“w-a-t-e-r”wasthewonderfulcoolsomethingflowingoverherhand.Thatlivingwordawakenedherspirit,gaveitlight,hope,funandsetitfree!33.Howwasthegirldifferentfromotherchildren?A.Shedidn’tknowhowtoplaygames.B.Shewasangryallthetime.C.Shecouldn’tspeak.D.Shewasdeafandblind.答案D解析推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“Inherquiet,darkworld...”,可推断她是一个聋哑人并且眼睛也看不见,故D项正确。34.Helenlearntnewwordswhen.

【语篇导读】本文是记叙文。作者讲述了自己九岁的时候游泳考试的一段经历。从这段经历中,作者认识到了这一点:有价值的目标是值得一个人为之努力和奋斗的。最后作者顺利通过了游泳考试。41.A.skip B.referC.advance D.add答案C解析空处所在句子表示作者要参加游泳考试以便确认能否“升级到”更高一个层次的课程。advanceto“达到(某地等),前进到”,符合语境。42.A.taketurns B.insistonC.takerisks D.putoff答案A解析根据onebyone可知,作者和同学们是“轮流”进行考试的,taketurnsdoingsth.“轮流做某事”,符合语境。insiston“坚持”;takerisks“冒险”;putoff“推迟”。43.A.competitors B.classmatesC.students D.instructors答案B解析根据首段首句“Attheageofnine,Iwastakingswimminglessonsatapool.”可知,作者参加了一个游泳班,由此可知,作者观看的是“同班同学”轮流考试,所以答案是petitor“竞争者”;student“学生”;instructor“指导者”。44.A.show B.leaveC.fail D.observe答案C解析上文讲到,作者眼看着他的同学们一个跟着一个进行游泳考试,但都失败了,接下来,轮到自己“失败”了,所以答案是fail。show“显示,显出”;leave“离开”;observe“观察”。45.A.injured B.blamedC.trapped D.choked答案D解析根据下文中的“Igotwaterinmynose”可知,作者在游泳考试中被水“呛”着了,由此可知答案是choked,choke“呛,窒息”,getchoked“被呛着了”。getinjured“受伤”;getblamed“被责备”;gettrapped“被困住”。46.A.pushed B.pressedC.grabbed D.controlled答案C解析作者被水呛到后马上停止了游泳,“抓住”了泳池的边,结束了考试。grab“抓住”,符合语境。push“推”;press“按,压”;control“控制”。47.A.above B.belowC.beside D.beyond答案A解析作者因为被水呛着而停止了游泳考试,抓住了泳池的边,此时,他的教练,一个大学生,正站在他的“上方”。作者在泳池里,教练应是站在游泳池边上,所以要用above,表示“在……上方”。below“在……下面”;beside“在……旁边”;beyond“超出(某个数量、水平或限度)”。48.A.surprised B.sympatheticC.annoyed D.cold答案B解析作者因为被水呛着而停止了考试,抓住了泳池的边。结合下文可知,此时,教练用毫不“同情的”声音对作者喊:“你为什么不游了?”所以答案是sympathetic“同情的”。surprised“吃惊的”;annoyed“烦恼的”;cold“冷淡的,不友好的”。49.A.explained B.reactedC.answered D.shouted答案A解析当教练用毫不同情的声音质问作者为什么停止游泳的时候,作者“解释”说:“我的鼻子进水了。”所以答案是explained“解释”。50.A.delivered B.owedC.taught D.promised答案C解析teachsb.alesson是固定短语,意思是“给某人一个教训”,符合语境,所以答案是taught。deliver“分送”;owe“欠”;promise“许诺”。51.A.sothat B.asifC.incase D.evenif答案D解析作者感慨,这个大学生,也就是教练,给了他人生中一个很大的教训,“虽然”他(教练)很可能并没有意识到这一点。evenif“虽然,即使”,符合语境。sothat“以便”;asif“好像”;incase“以防”。52.A.problem B.excuseC.question D.voice答案C解析根据So可知,此处表示这个“问题”使作者很吃惊,所以答案是blem“难题”;excuse“理由,借口”;voice“声音”。53.A.logical B.difficultC.different D.impossible答案A解析在作者看来,解决痛苦的办法就是清除引起“不适”的事物,这似乎是“合乎逻辑的”,所以答案是logical“合乎逻辑的”。54.A.disaster B.discomfortC.damage D.fear答案B解析disaster“灾难”;discomfort“不舒服,不适”;damage“破坏,毁坏”;fear“害怕”。B项符合情境。55.A.result B.advantageC.goal D.task答案C解析作者九岁的脑袋此前还不明白这个事实:一个有价值的“目标”是值得实现的,无论实现它有多么难。goal“目标”,符合语境。result“结果”;advantage“优势,长处”;task“任务”。56.A.concerned B.sensitiveC.embarrassed D.sure答案D解析作者意识到无论多么难,一个有价值的目标是值得实现的之后,“确信”什么也阻挡不了自己完成这次考试。sure“确信的,有把握的”,符合语境。concerned“担心的”;sensitive“敏感的”;embarrassed“难堪的”。57.A.slowly B.easilyC.clumsily D.eagerly答案B解析作者在坚定了信心之后,在下一次的尝试中,很“轻易地”通过了考试,所以答案是easily“容易地,轻易地”。slowly“缓慢地”;clumsily“笨拙地”;eagerly“热切地,渴望地”。58.A.attend B.takeC.give D.pass答案D解析根据第二段中的“myturntoattempttopassthetest”及该段中的“Ididitrather57onmynextattempt”可知选D项。

59.A.always B.sometimesC.ever D.seldom答案A解析生活如同一场旅行,道路不会“总是”平坦的。always“总是”;sometimes“有时候”;ever“曾经”;seldom“很少”。60.A.sights B.barriersC.surprises D.harvests答案B解析我们要关注最终的目的地,而不是沿途的“障碍”。sight“景象”;barrier“障碍”;surprise“令人惊奇的事物”;harvest“收获”。第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。AbrahamLincoln,61.isregardedasoneofAmerica’sgreatestheroes,becamethe16thPresidentofAmericainMarchof1861at62.ageof52.TheCivilWar63.(begin)onApril12,1861inSouthCarolinajustamonthafterLincolntookoffice.Lincolnwas64.(determine)tokeepthestatesunited.Hecalledforanarmyfromthenorthernstatestofightagainstthesouth.65.followedwasabloodywarthatlastedfouryearsandcostthe66.(life)ofover600,000Americans.Lincolnfacedallsortsofdifficultiesduringthewar,butmanaged67.(hold)thecountrytogether.OnJanuary1,1863Lincolnissued(发布)theEmancipationProclamation.Thiswasanorderthatfreedtheslaves(奴隶)intheConfederateStates.Although
