【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了英国人喝茶的传统历史。

【1】

考查固定搭配。句意：英国人喝茶的量是出了名的。分析句子可知，be known for 译为“因……出名”是固定短语。故填for。

【2】

考查被动语态。句意：茶被社会各阶层所喝。分析句子可知，本句为简单句，除了提示词外无其余动词且提示词drink和逻辑主语tea之间表示被动。所以, 此处需被动语态。又因句子在陈述一个客观事实，所以此处需填一般现在时的被动语态。故填is drunk。

【3】

考查非谓语动词。句意：18世纪初，到达英国的茶叶数量逐渐增加。分析句子可知，本句为简单句。除了arrive外还有谓语动词increased，所以此处的提示词需填非谓语动词。又因为提示词和逻辑主句之间表示主动。故填arriving。

【4】

考查副词。句意：起初，人们喝茶的方式和中国一模一样。分析句子可知，提示词的词性为形容词，不可被动词drank修饰。动词修饰副词，所以此处要改词性。故填exactly。

【5】

考查非谓语动词。句意：在19世纪，茶还是有钱人才会享用的产品。分析句子可知，本句为简单句。其中主句为tea was still a product. 提示词enjoy和逻辑主语之间product之间为动宾关系，根据非谓语动词的使用规则，所以此处需过去分词表示被动。故填enjoyed。

【6】

考查形容词。句意：这包括在下午4点左右喝点茶，避免在午餐和晚餐之间感到饥饿。分析句子可知，划线前有感官动词felt，后面修饰形容词作表语。故需将提示词改为形容词词性。故填hungry。

【7】

考查连词。句意：这个传统在今天仍然存在，但在当代已经不那么流行了。分析句子可知，此处前后表示转折。前句提到“这个传统今天仍然存在”，然后后句提到“在当代已经不那么流行了”。此处前后表示转折关系。故填but。

【8】

考查定语从句。句意：可以买茶和喝茶的茶馆开始在全国各地出现。分析句子可知 ___8__ you could buy and drink tea 是一个定语从句，修饰先行词shops，关系词在从句中作地点状语。故填关系副词where。

【9】

考查冠词。句意：20世纪初，英国人开始在家里泡茶，只要他们喜欢。分析句子可知，at the start of 译为“在……开始的时候”是固定短语。故填the。

【10】

【题目】Where the streets smell like cheese: Milwaukee tries dairy waste as de-icer

In response to the winter storm striking the area last weekend, street crews of Milwaukee, a city in Wisconsin, will be spreading cheese brine(卤水)along its ice-covered streets this winter as an alternative of normally used rock salt, which serves as an essential road de-icer despite its damaging impact on the environment.

The trial was inspired by a successful experiment in rural Polk County. In addition to being a more effective de-icer due to a lower freezing point, the cheesy liquid prevents rock salt from bouncing and scattering off roadways, which means less has to be used and less of it ends up entering the surrounding environment.

Milwaukee can make good use of the difficult-to-dispose type of organic waste found in great abundance across the state: salty leftover cheese-making juice. Sometimes you just have to get creative and work with the type of waste byproduct and turn it into something beneficial. When the first cheese brine salt trucks of the city appeared in the street last week, Tom Barrett, Mayor of Milwaukee, compared the act to “thinking outside of the cheese box”.

To be clear, Milwaukee won’t completely replace rock salt with thousands of gallons of salty cheese juice. The project, which will first be tested in Bay View neighborhood, will involve a mixture of rock salt and cheese brine. The brine will be sourced from a production plant owned by F&A Dairy in Polk County. Milwaukee will save in rock salt costs while F&A Dairy, which transforms 900, 000 pounds of milk into cheese every day, will save cash in the brine disposal.

While it is noted that the cheese brine solution has a “distinctive odor.” Emil Norby, the gentleman who originally thought of using cheese brine to treat ice-covered roads, explains that Milwaukee residents can expect to experience the slight bad milk smell once the cheese brine is applied to streets. He smiles, “I don’t really mind it. Our roads smell like Wisconsin!”

【1】Why does the cheese brine become an option as a road de-icer?

A.It increases the consumption of cheese.B.It decreases milk byproducts.

C.It is from experiences of Polk County.D.It’s more effective and eco-friendly.

【2】What can the underlined idiom in the 3rd paragraph be used to describe?

A.A test with an expected result.B.A trial made creatively.

C.A company benefiting the locals.D.A volunteer who protects environments.

【3】What do people think of the project of the city and F&A Dairy?

A.It will make a fortune for the city.B.It will change the life of local people.

C.It will attract more investment.D.It will be a win-win co-operation.

【4】How do the locals respond to the smell of cheese brine according to Norby?

A.It will lead to bad appetite.B.It may make them sick.

C.It is still acceptable.D.It cannot be noticed.

【题目】 You’re in your office when you learn there’s someone with a gun wandering outside. You can hear gunshots and screams. What do you do?

That’s the challenge for users of a new virtual (虚拟)reality program called SurviVR, designed to train employees how to deal with an active shooter situation in the workplace. The program works with HTC Vive, the virtual reality headset released earlier this year.

An active shooter situation is when an armed person or people actively shoot in a small, populated area with the intention to kill. There were 20 such situations in the United States last year and 20 the year before, according to FBI statistics, resulting in a total of 231 deaths. This year saw the deadliest active shooter situation in US history, with 49 people killed in a nightclub in Orlando.

In the training situation, users have four choices. They can lock themselves in the office. They can hide, perhaps in the office closet. They can run for an exit. Or they can use something in the office—a computer or a cup a pair of scissors-as a weapon to fight the shooter. This is an improvement on standard active shooter training. Gallo says, which typically teachers people to lock themselves in place and hide. The ＂lock down＂ method is often ineffective, he says, and has resulted in many deaths in recent years.

In the training’s basic level, no one gets killed. But as the trainings become more advanced, players who make a wrong choice be shot. There’s no blood; the screen simply turns black slowly.

If this sounds terrifying, that’s the point, says Gallo. There are plenty of training programs to teach employees how to deal with workplace violence, sometimes involving role play with toy guns. But these trainings are basically games. Gallo says, with employees relaxed and even enjoying themselves. To teach people what they really need to know for an active shooter situation, they need to be scared.

＂SurviVR will take the fear and turn it into confidence.＂ Gallo says.

【1】What’s the author’s purpose of describing a dangerous scene in Para. 1?

A.To attract the readers’ attention on the new virtual reality program.

B.To show the challenge that the readers are required to face.

C.To warn the readers of the possible dangers in the working place.

D.To inform the readers of the correct response in such a situation

【2】What is the suggested response in the standard active shooter training?

A.Fighting the shooter

B.Running for the exit

C.Using a computer as a weapon

D.Locking down

【3】What does Gallo think of the training programs involving role play with toy guns?

A.SearingB.Violent

C.IneffectiveD.Helpful

【4】What would be the best title?

A.A New Virtual Reality Program on Active Shooter Training

B.What Should You Do When Meeting Gunshots in the Workplace?

C.How to Deal with an Active Shooter Situation?

D.Employees Need to Be Scared of the Workplace Violence.

【题目】 The boy sat on his chair, with his hands above the keyboard. He thought about what to write.

He recalled that the competition deadline was merely a week away. But he still had not even started on his piece. He looked at the brochure again.“WRITING COMPETITION！” the title read. His mom had encouraged him to enter the writing competition, and now he was taking it on as his personal task for the holidays.

As the boy reflected on his previous writing efforts, he realized how hopeless his task of winning was. Every story he ever wrote was based on other stories. He had little imagination, and unfortunately, imagination was the key to writing.

Suddenly, he had a brainwave. This time, he came up with an original and imaginative story.

The words shot towards him like a storm of leaves. Words were coming easily, flowing through him, faster than he could type. He typed faster than he ever had before. He continued to type, amazed how easy writing this story was. The boy could not stop writing. He looked at the word count and saw the number “248” staring right back at him. He was not even halfway yet.

Then he heard his mother’s call of saying time for bed. He continued writing the piece, ignoring her. He had to make up for the time he had lost in thinking about a topic to write.

Finally, he finished. The word count now read “498”.

“Perfect，” he thought, “just under the word limit.” He knew this was the story that would win.

He went to the website and searched for the competition. He found the page but there was no “Enter” button.

Confused, he then reread the page again. It read COMPETITION CLOSED.

【1】What caused the boy to take part in the writing competition?

A.A new computer.

B.The prize money.

C.His own interest.

D.His mom’s encouragement.

【2】How did the boy finish his earlier writing?

A.His mom helped him.

B.He copied others’ ideas.

C.His friends assisted him.

D.He used his imagination.

【3】Why did the boy delay his writing?

A.Because he was terribly lazy.

B.Because he didn’t know what to write.

C.Because he wasn’t confident.

D.Because he read too many stories.

【4】Which might be the maximum word limit for each entry?

A.100.B.250.

C.500.D.1000.
