D.Fightingforwomen’ssocialstatus.【答案】1.B2.A3.B【解析】【导语】这是一篇应用文。主要介绍了四部歌颂伟大女性的电影。【1题详解】推理判断题。根据StillAlice中“Thefilm’smaincharacterAlice,aged50,copesbravelywithAlzheimer’sdisease:she’stheperfectexampleofaniron-willedwoman.”（这部电影的主角爱丽丝，50岁，勇敢地应对阿尔茨海默氏症：她是一个意志坚强女人的完美例子。）可知，如果你的祖母病得很重，你会推荐她看StillAlice这部电影。故选B项。【2题详解】推理判断题。根据ErinBrockovich中“ThefilmisaboutErinBrockovich,astrongyeteasily-hurtwoman,butordinaryweaknessisnotallowedinhersituation.Shemaynotbeagenius,butherpersistenceandconcernforothersallowhertoachievetheimpossible:avictoryoverapowerfulandmajorcorporationthatisliterallypoisoningpeople.”（这部电影讲述的是艾琳·布罗科维奇，一个坚强但容易受伤的女人，但在她的情况下，普通的软弱是不允许的。她可能不是一个天才，但她的坚持和对他人的关心让她实现了不可能的目标：战胜一家强大的大公司，这家公司实际上是在毒害人们。）和“Whenyouareabouttogiveuponsomething,simplywatchthismovieformotivation.”（当你打算放弃某件事时，只要看这部电影就可以获得动力。）可知，电影ErinBrockovich讲述了艾琳·布罗科维奇在任何情况下都不妥协的故事，传达了永远不要妥协的精神。故选A项。【3题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“Thereisakindofwomanintheworldwhohastheabilitytoaccomplishthedifficultchallengesoftheirownlifeandtoinspireotherstoachievegreatthings.They’restrongandindependent,wiseandsuccessful,talentedandbrave,andcanteachallofusalot.”（世界上有这样一种女人，她有能力完成自己生活中的困难挑战，并激励他人成就伟大的事业。她们强壮而独立，聪明而成功，才华横溢而勇敢，可以教会我们很多。）可知，文章介绍的四部电影都在歌颂伟大的女性。故选B项。BMikeMushawjoinedthenationalbonemarrowregistry(骨髓登记)threeyearsagobychance.Sixmonthslater,hegotacall.The21-year-oldfootballplayer'sbonemarrowmatchedapatientinVirginia.Mushawgaveasecondthoughttothedonation,becauseapartfromsomerisks,heneverknewwhetherhisdonationworked.“FinallyIsaidyes,”Mushawtoldthejournalist.“Oncetheytookmyblood,Ithought,‘Allright,thisisreal.Thisisgoingtohappen.’”Mushawdidn'tknowitatthetime,buthisdonationwouldgotoafive-month-oldgirlnamedEleanorwhowassickwithararediseasediagnosedwhenshewasonlythreemonthsold.Daysandweekspassing,herconditionhadbecomemoredire.“Eleanorwasgoingtodiewithoutabonemarrowtransplant,”hermother,Jessica,said.“Thechoicesweretoeithergetatransplantordieearly.Luckily,Mushaw’sbonecuredher.”Mushawdidn'tknowanyofthisuntilmonthsafterhisdonation.Aboutsixmonthsaftertheprocedure,Eleanor'sparentssenthimane-mailtothankhimforhisselflesslove.Theirsurprisingconnectionwasbeginning.Mushawkeptcheckingonherprogress.Eleanorfocusedherattentiononhim,too,bywatchinghisfootballgamesonTV.InAugust,MushawinvitedherfamilytodrivefromVirginiatoConnecticuttomeetatoneofhisgames.Theyhadagoodtimetogether.InJanuary,MushawreunitedwithEleanor,thistimeinVirginia,tocelebrateherbirthday.Itwilllikelybefirstofmanycelebrationstogether.“Asaparent,itfeelsreallygreattowatchsomeoneloveyourkidasmuchasyoudo,”Jessicasays.“Weweretwocompletestrangers,andnowwe'vebecomesuchabigpartofeachother'slives.”4.WhydidMushawhesitateatfirst?A.Hewasafootballplayer.

B.Nevermakeexcuses.C.Howtobeagoodperson. D.Lovebringspeopletogether.【答案】4.D5.A6.D7.D【解析】【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了MikeMushaw的骨髓与一位患有一种罕见免疫缺陷疾病且只有五个月大的小女孩配对成功。他不仅救了这个小女孩，并与小女孩的一家建立了深厚的友谊。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Mushawgaveasecondthoughttothedonation,becauseapartfromsomerisks,heneverknewwhetherhisdonationworked.（Mushaw重新考虑了捐赠，因为除了一些风险，他从不知道他的捐赠是否有效。）”可知，起初Mushaw怀疑他的捐赠是否有效。故选D项。【5题详解】词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句“Mushawdidn'tknowitatthetime,buthisdonationwouldgotoafive-month-oldgirlnamedEleanorwhowassickwithararediseasediagnosedwhenshewasonlythreemonthsold.（Mushaw当时并不知道，他的捐款将捐给一个名Eleanor的5个月大的女孩。埃莉诺在3个月大时就被诊断出患有一种罕见的疾病。）”以及第四段第一句““Eleanorwasgoingtodiewithoutabonemarrowtransplant,”hermother,Jessica,said.（如果不进行骨髓移植，Eleanor就会死去，”她的母亲Jessica说。）”可知，三个月大的Eleanor病情日益加重，得不到救治就会死去，因此可以推断出dire与A项的serious意思相同，意为“严重的”。故选A项。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段内容“Mushawdidn'tknowanyofthisuntilmonthsafterhisdonation.Aboutsixmonthsaftertheprocedure,Eleanor'sparentssenthimane-mailtothankhimforhisselflesslove.（Mushaw捐款几个月后才知道这些。手术后大约六个月，Eleanor的父母给他发了一封电子邮件，感谢他无私的爱。）”以及最后一段第一句内容“InJanuary,MushawreunitedwithEleanor,thistimeinVirginia,tocelebrateherbirthday.（1月，Mushaw和Eleanor团聚，这次是在弗吉尼亚，庆祝她的生日。）”可知，Mushaw的捐赠以及为被捐助者庆祝生日，都可以体现出Mushaw的无私和体贴。故选D项。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句““Asaparent,itfeelsreallygreattowatchsomeoneloveyourkidasmuchasyoudo,”Jessicasays.“Weweretwocompletestrangers,andnowwe'vebecomesuchabigpartofeachother'slives.”（Jessica说：“作为一名家长，看到有人像自己一样爱自己的孩子，感觉真的很棒。”“我们曾经是完全陌生的两个人，现在我们已经成为彼此生活中如此重要的一部分。”）”以及结合全文内容可推知，我们能从Mushaw的故事中学到爱可以使人们紧紧地团结在一起。故选D项。CManyrobotshavebeensenttoexploreMars.Suchrobotshaveusuallylookedlikeaboxwithwheels.Theserobotsareusefulbutextremelyexpensive,andtheybreakeasily.Also,theycannotdomanytasks.Soscientistshavebeendeveloping“snakebots”,whichmovelikesnakes.Thewayasnakeisshapedletsitgetintoverysmallspaceslikecracksinrocks.Itcanalsopushitswaybelowthegroundorclimbupdifferentkindsofobjects,likehighrocksandtrees.Asnakebotwouldbeabletodothesethings,too,makingitmuchmoreeffectivethanregularrobotsonwheelswhicheasilygetstuckorfallover.Sincetheycancarrytools,snakebotswouldbeabletoworkinspaceaswell.Theycould,forexample,helprepairtheInternationalSpaceStation.Asnakebotisbuiltlikeachainmadeofaboutthirtypartsormodules.Eachmoduleisbasicallythesameinthattheyallhaveasmallcomputerandawheeltoaidmovement.Thelargecomputerinthe“head”ofthesnakemakesallofthemodulesinasnakebotworktogether.Themodulardesignofthesnakebothasmanyadvantages.Ifonemodulefails,anothercanbeaddedeasily.Snakebotmodulescanalsocarrydifferentkindsoftools,aswellascameras.Sinceeachmoduleisactuallyarobotinitself,onemodulecanworkapartfromtherestifnecessary.Thatis,allthemodulescanseparateandmoveontheirown,andthenlater,reconnectbackintoalargerrobot.Researchersarealsotryingtodevelopsnakebotsmadeofaspecialkindofplasticthatcanchangeitsshapeusingelectricity,almostlikeanimalmuscles.Snakebotsmadewiththisplasticwillbeverystrongandhardtobreak.Overall,thesnakebotdesignismuchsimplerthanthatofcommonrobots.Thus,snakebotswillbemuchlessexpensivetobuild.Withtheirversatility(多功能性)andaffordability,snakebotsseemtobethewaveofthefuture,atleastasfarasspacerobotsareconcerned.8.Whichcharacteristicmakessnakebotsusefulforexploringspace?A.Theyaremadeofplastics.

国外用第二语言问路、点餐，方便了与当地人的交流，把上文的好处具体化了。下文“Plus,localsmaybefriendlierandmorehelpfulifyouspeaktheirlanguage.(另外，如果你说当地人的语言，他们可能会更友好、更乐于助人。)”，下文与D项为并列关系，都说明在国外时，能使用第二语言的好处。上下文语意连贯顺畅。故选D项。【20题详解】根据上文“Openingyourmindtonewideasandnewchallengesleadstopersonalgrowth.(接受新想法和新挑战会带来个人成长。)”可知，学习第二语言使人接触到新思想、新挑战，能促进个人发展，E项“Bylearninganewlanguage,youmaybegintoseeyourselfdifferently.(通过学习一门新语言，你可能会开始以不同的方式看待自己。)”，学习第二语言可以更全面的了解自己，下文“Youmayalsounderstandandappreciateyourownlanguageevenmore.(你也会更加理解和欣赏自己的母语。)”，学习第二语言能促进人们对母语的了解，这里总结了学习第二语言的三个好处，三者为并列关系；本段最后一句“Inaword,learningasecondlanguageissomethingtobeproudof.(总之，学习第二语言是一件值得骄傲的事情。)”为总结句。本段各句之间语意连贯顺畅。故选E项。第三部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题的A，B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入对应空白处的最佳选项。WhenIwasayoungstudent,noneofmyfriendslistenedtoclassicalmusic.Fewstudieda(n)____21____formorethanayearortwo.Theywerelisteningtothebigbands.ButDad____22____metostudytoplaythepianoforthreeyears.Andlater,youknow,Igaveitup.Butonedayonethingchangedme____23____.OneSaturday,Iwenttoa(n)____24____birthdaypartyofoneofmyclassmatesandtherewasquiteacrowdofpeopleofmy____25____.Andsomeofthekidswerefoolingaroundatthepianowhiletheparentsare____26____usabigmeal.Thenoneofthegirls____27____stoppedtalking,lookedatmeandsaid,“Robert,youtookpianolessons.____28____,playsomething!”“No...,I’mnotgoingtoplaythepiano.”I____29____thatnooneinthatroomshow_____30_____inthekindofmusicthatIcouldplay.ButthoughIwas_____31_____objecting,Iwaspushedbymyfriendstowardsthepiano.Iwas“_____32_____”tositdown.AndthereIwasface-to-facewitheighty-eightblackandwhite_____33_____.Whattoplay?Theonlythingthatcametomy_____34_____wasBeethoven’sMoonlightSonata.So,Ibeganwiththeslow_____35_____.Andaftertwomeasures,Ibecameawarethattherewasa_____36_____intheroom.“Afterthenexttwomeasures,Ifeltpeople_____37_____towardsme,andthentheparentscameoutofthekitchen_____38_____.IplayedthewholefirstmovementandwhenIwasthrough,theapplauseandcheerswere_____39_____tobelieve.IfIhadknownthatthiswouldhavehappened,Ineverwouldhavegivenup_____40_____playingthepiano.21.A.project
