【答案】

1myself

2stayed

3be described

4from

5performances

6so

7who

8truly

9a

10spending

【解析】本文主要介绍了作者自己的性格从外向,热情到内敛、谨慎的变化过程。

1myself

考查反身代词。当主语和宾语是同一个人或事时,宾语要用反身代词,本句主语是I,故填myself.

2stayed

考查时态此句中三个谓语动词并列held,stayedplayed,说的是过去的事情,所以都用一般过去时态。故填stayed.

3be described

考查语态。句意:此时,我的个性可以被描述为友好而容易相处的。根据句意应该是被动语态:情态动词+be done,故填be described.

4from

考查介词。句意:没有人能阻止我达到未来的目标。固定搭配:stop…from…(阻止某人做某事),句意:故填from.

5performances

考查名词。句意:但到了大学一年级结束的时候,我对自己的表现并不满意。可数名词performance(表现)作介词宾语,因为是指很多方面,所以用复数形式。故填performances.

6so

考查连词。句意:我不能取得完美的成绩,同时过着我过去所熟悉的社交生活,所以我选择牺牲我过去喜欢做的大部分社交活动。前后是因果关系,所以用连词so(所以)连接,故填so.

7who

考查关系代词。定语从句,先行词是someone(某人),从句中缺少主语,所以关系代词who,故填who.

8truly

考查副词。句意:对我而言,沉默真正是金。副词truly(真正地)作状语,修饰谓语动词,故填truly.

9a

考查冠词。名词conversation(对话)在此处是泛指,所以用不定冠词a构成短语a normal conversation(一个正常的对话)作held的宾语故填a.

10spending

考查动名词。介词after后接名词或动名词,故填spending.

【题目】I went to the Tsavo National Park in northern Kenya for a film. We set off early for a distant water hole. A huge elephant covered with dry mud, drank calmly and deeply. He might have traveled 50 km to reach the water. He wasn’t going to hurry now. We thought that he’d drink a while and rest in the shade, and then drink again. What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away. Then he suddenly fell down. Within minutes he was dead.

We called animal doctor Jeremiah Poghon immediately. He removed the head of a poisoned arrow from the elephant’s body, and let out over 100 liters of pus()--the result of the elephant’s meeting with a poacher months ago.

Today’s poacher shoots from a distance. An arrow, covered with poison, is fired into the body of an elephant. If the poacher is lucky, the elephant might die in an hour or two; if not, he might have to follow the elephant for days before it dies. Often the arrow head fails to kill the elephant at once-- it doesn’t mean the poison won’t finally kill the elephant, but it will be a slow death.

Living in Tsavo through these times, I could see the results of poaching from time to time. When I think about the death of that elephant, what stays with me is the extraordinary silence after the shocking sound of his body hitting the ground. I took some comfort from the knowledge that as the dead body returned to the soil, some animals would benefit-- but I couldn’t escape the feeling that with the death of such a large animal, the world seemed to be a poorer and emptier place.

1While filming near the water hole, the author and his team ______.

A. knew the elephant was injured

B. found the elephant acted violently

C. tried their best to save the elephant

D. thought the elephant was in good condition

2According to the passage, the underlined word “poacher” is probably ______.

A. A hunter who kills or catches animals illegally

B. A kind of fierce meat-eating animal

C. A serious disease that can infect elephants

D. A kind of deadly poison

3Further examination showed that the dead elephant ______.

A. had suffered a lot

B. was killed by a poisonous needle

C. had suffered an hour or two

D. had had a good fight with a poacher

4Why did the author write the article?

A. To introduce the African elephant.

B. To show the cruelty of poaching.

C. To describe his filming experience.

D. To ask readers to protect wild animals.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Settled by the Celts, invaded by the Romans and the Normans, and ruled by the English, Wales' population has regularly changed over the ages. Wales, particularly South Wales, became a melting pot (熔炉) of European nationalities and cultures. At first workers from England, Ireland and the rural areas of Wales rushed into the coal mines of South Wales. By 1911, workers from Ireland, Italy and Spain had joined the industrial workforce (劳动大军) there. Many of these newcomers were prepared to work for less pay.
But during this period, workers, dissatisfied with regular pay cuts, poor safety, returned to the land. In 1891, the rural population of Wales was about 616,000 and by 1911 just over 649,000 people lived and worked in these areas.
The rural population continues to grow slowly even today. People from richer parts of the UK, particularly southern England, are buying holiday homes in Wales. In some areas this has led to a lack of housing for local people. This, combined with the lack of employment in rural Welsh communities, has started a new movement of people in search of jobs and homes into the towns and cities of Wales and to other parts of the UK and Europe.
As so many Welsh people have moved to other countries over the last 200 years, it's really no surprise that many visitors come to see friends and relatives. These visitors strengthen their links to their land of origin and continue to support the Welsh's development. During the hot summer days, about 28% of the visitors visit the countryside and nearly 70% visit the seaside.
(1)Why was South Wales so attractive to people in the early 20th century?
A.Because its coal industry needed a large number of workers.
B.Because it was rich in many different kinds of culture.
C.Because people could buy holiday homes there.
D.Because people could get the highest pay there.
(2)What does the writer want to tell us in the second paragraph?
A.Many people got tired of city life at this time.
B.The working conditions were terrible at this time.
C.Welsh workers couldn't get any pay for their work.
D.The number of rural population of Wales grows slowly at this time.
(3)What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Wales, a land with a promising past and future
B.Wales, a land with a population on the move
C.Wales, the biggest melting pot of Europe
D.Tourism, the main income source of Wales

【题目】B

(2017·北京卷)It was a cold March day in High Point, North Carolina. The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm, Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered(发抖) a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play. The two didn’t know each other well Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.

Suddenly, Paris fell to the ground, “Paris’s eye rolled back,” Taylor says. “She started shaking. I knew it was an emergency.”

It certainly was, Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die. At first no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, “Does anyone know CPR?”

CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick person’s chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen the brain is damaging quickly.

Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn’t think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR, “It was scary. I knew it was the difference between life and death,” says Taylor.

Taylor’s swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an electronic devices(器械) that can shock the heart back into work. Luck stayed with them: Paris’ heartbeat returned.

“I now I was really lucky,” Paris says now. “Most people don’t survive this. My team saved my life.”

Experts say Paris is right: For a sudden heart failure, the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.

Today, Paris is back on the softball team. Taylor will apply to college soon. She wants to be a nurse. “I feel more confident in my actions now,” Taylor says. “I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation.”

【1】What happened to Paris on a March day?

A. She caught a bad cold.

B. She had a sudden heart problem.

C. She was knocked down by a ball.

D. She shivered terribly during practice

【2】Why does Paris say she was lucky?

A. She made a worthy friend.

B. She recovered from shock.

C. She received immediate CPR.

D. She came back on the softball team.

【3】 Which of the following words can best describe Taylor?

A. Enthusiastic and kind.

B. Courageous and calm.

C. Cooperative and generous.

D. Ambitious and professional.
