题目内容

【题目】在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

What are the British like when it comes to learning languages? According to a survey published by the European Commission, the British are【1】(office) the worst language learners in Europe —62 percent of them can’t speak any other language apart from【2】(they) own.

Learning a foreign language is not a popular option at school in Britain; children start studying a foreign language【3】 11 and many give up completely several years later. So why don’t young people continue with languages at school? A research suggests that students think it is more difficult to get good grades in languages than in other subjects, such as science or history. The government is now looking at different ways【4】(improve) language learning. One idea is to start much younger and introduce foreign languages from the age of five. 【5】 idea is to give school children more【6】 (choose) and expand the range of languages【7】(teach) to include Arabic, Mandarin and Urdu.

Mandarin Chinese is predicted to become the second most popular foreign language learned in UK schools. Brighton College headmaster Richard Cairns says, “One of my key tasks is to make sure pupils 【8】(equip) for the realities of the 21st century. One of those realities is【9】China has the fastest-growing economy in the world.” It may be an ambitious task to change the Brits’ attitude to 【10】(learn) languages but the government is determined to try.

【答案】

【1】 officially

【2】 their

【3】 at

【4】 to improve

【5】 Another

【6】 choices

【7】 taught

【8】 are equipped

【9】 that

【10】 learning

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文，欧洲委员会的一项调查显示英国人是欧洲最糟糕的语言学习者，很多英国人只会讲英语。英国政府正着手解决这一问题，常识改变英国人对语言学习的态度。

【1】考查副词。句意：根据欧洲委员会的一项调查，据公布英国人是欧洲最糟糕的语言学习者。句中副词officially意为“据公布”，在句中做状语修饰谓语部分。所以要填officially。

【2】考查形容词性物主代词。句意：百分之62的英国人除了会讲他们的自己的语言之外不会讲任何其他语言。句中形容词性物主代词their做定语修饰own。所以要填their。

【3】考查介词。句意：在11岁的时候孩子们开始学习一门外语，很多人几年以后就彻底放弃了。介词at与具体年龄利用表示“在…岁时”，所以本句要填介词at。

【4】考查不定式。句意：现在政府正在寻找不同的方法来改善语言学习。固定短语the way to do sth意为“做某事的方法”，其中不定式to do sth做定语修饰名词the way，所以要填to improve。

【5】考查上下文串联。句意：一个观点是更早开始学习外语，从5岁起就介绍外语。另外一个观点是给孩子们更多的选择并拓宽被教授的语言的范围。句中another与前句one idea形成呼应。所以要填Another。

【6】考查名词。句意：一个观点是更早开始学习外语，从5岁起就介绍外语。另外一个观点是给孩子们更多的选择并拓宽被教授的语言的范围。句中应该使用名词choices做动词give的宾语，所以要填choices。

【7】考查分词做定语。句意：一个观点是更早开始学习外语，从5岁起就介绍外语。另外一个观点是给孩子们更多的选择并拓宽被教授的语言的范围。名词languages与动词teach构成被动关系，用过去分词做的定语修饰它。所以要填过去分词taught。

【8】考查固定短语。短语“be equipped with…”意为“配备有…，装备有…”，该短语在句中充当谓语部分，名词短语the realities of the 21st century做它的宾语。所以要填are equipped。

【9】考查表语从句。句意：这些现实之一就是中国用世界上发展最快的经济。句中that引导表语从句，在句中起连接作用并不充当任何成分，所以要填that。

【10】考查动名词。句意：要改变一个人对待学习语言的态度也许是一个艰难的任务，但是政府决定要试一下。名词attitude意为“态度”要和介词to/towards连用，介词to/towards后面要接名词或动名词做宾语，所以要填动名词learning。

本文小题4考查了非谓语动词中的不定式用法，若句中已有谓语动词，又不是并列谓语时，所给动词就是非谓语动词。若是非谓语动词就要确定用—ing形式、—ed形式，还是用不定式形式。（to do/ to be done)；确定方法如下：

V ing形式表主动，进行.或做主语；宾语

V ed形式表被动，完成

To do形式表主动，将来，

例句1：It is important for us __________(learn) English.

解析：句中有谓语动词is, it是形式主语，后面用不定式作真正的主语。所以填to learn.

例句2：________(take) exercise is of great benefit to us.

解析：句中有谓语动词is, 所以take应为非谓语；分析句子成分，作主语，表示一般情况，要用动名词。故填Taking.

例句3：________(catch) the first bus, he got up early.

解析：句中有谓语动词got up, 所以catch 应为非谓语动词。根据句子成分分析，作状语，表目的，故要用不定式而且主动的，To catch.

例句4：The teacher entered the classroom, ________( follow) by some students.

解析：句中已有谓语entered, 而follow又不是与之并列的，故为非谓语动词；又因为the teacher 与follow 是被动关系，故用过去分词作伴随状语,followed.

例句5：He saw the stone, _________(say) to himself, “The night will be dark”.

解析：句中已有谓语saw, 且没有并列连词构成并列谓语，所以，所给动词应当是非谓语；又因He和say是主动关系，故填saying 作伴随状语。

例句6：Lessons _______(learn) in sports can help us in our dealing with other people.

解析：因句中已有谓语can help, 所以learn 应为非谓语动词；又因lesson与learn 是被动关系，要用过去分词短语作后置定语，故填learned.

【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

China has once again showed its ability to change the world with its “new four great 【1】(invent)”—high-speed rail, electronic payment, shared bicycle, and online shopping.

China’s new-generation high-speed train, the Fuxing, is now one of the 【2】(fast) trains in the world, which can travel at a speed of 350 km/h. Besides high-speed rail, China 【3】(improve) people’s lives in many other innovative(创新的) ways over the last decade.

Bike sharing, for example, is not new itself. But China has made 【4】 much more convenient and popular both in China 【5】 overseas. When riding a shared bike, you can stop 【6】(buy) and eat whatever you want 【7】(simple) with a tap of your phone. You can easily pay with your smart phone by 【8】(scan) the seller’s QR code. Cashless payment has grown into a 【9】(choose) for Chinese people—even a pancake seller is using Alipay.

Besides, the four innovative ways of life are most appealing 【10】 youths from 20 countries participating in the Belt and Road innovation, and they wish their countries would emulate (效仿) China in terms of technological achievements.

【题目】 At 23 I applied for full-time positions with no intention of working five days a week. As a housewife, I had two pre-school children then but wanted to work three days a week.

This was a huge deal for me. I needed to work, but also wanted to spend time with my children while they were young. I didn’t want to miss out on school drop-offs and pick-ups. But I also didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity of promotion.

Before the interviews, I prepared a plan of how I was going to make this work for me and the employer. I saw it as a two-way agreement — the business adapting to me and me adapting to the business.

Finally I became a member of EY at 33. EY was the only firm that seemed receptive to my plan; in fact, we spent time during that first interview talking about how we could make it work together. Most importantly, the person interviewing me worked flexibly too — four days a week.

I appreciated that I’m one of the lucky ones. Even 10 years on, flexible hiring and working remains the exception rather than the rule for most.

What will help shift views and behavior, in addition to organizations updating their hiring policies, is talking more openly about how most of us organize our day around our responsibilities. We all have a life outside of work and we shouldn’t be embarrassed to talk about it, even during a job interview.

It’s a change in the way of thinking, not just for employers but employees too. In the early days I was confident about my ability but I probably did have a preconception (先入之见) that working part-time would limit my career progression. What I quickly realized was that if I took responsibility for my development, I could make sure that I got the same opportunities as if I was working full-time. So I offered solutions to how we could make it work, and it made me stand out.

【1】Why did the author want a flexible job?

A.To balance her work and life.B.To have more time to relax.

C.To avoid too much stress in life.D.To stand out as a special woman.

【2】What perhaps made the author become a member of EY?

A.The time spent discussing her plan.

B.Her relationship with the interviewer.

C.Her great confidence in the interview.

D.The interviewer’s understanding her.

【3】What does the author advise to apply for a flexible job?

A.Trying to seize every opportunity one can get.

B.Persuading the company to change its hiring policies.

C.Being honest about one’s personal life outside of work.

D.Convincing the employer of one’s responsibility for the job.

【4】What can we infer about her job from the passage?

A.It weakened her ability.

B.It made her highly noticeable.

C.It limited her career promotion.

D.It caused her to earn less money.

【题目】How to Be a Good Listener to Your Family

Communication is important for strong family relationships. However, if you don't truly listen to others, it can be difficult to communicate. Working on your listening skills can help you communicate better and form stronger bonds.【1】

Stay in the present.

When listening to a family member, do not let your mind wander to other things. It's important to strive to stay in the present to make your family member feel heard and valued.

【2】Instead, focus only on what's being said. If you feel your mind wandering, return your thoughts to the speakers’ words.

【3】

When talking to someone, you often are focusing on what you're going to say next. This tendency can get more intense when talking to a family member. If you're, say, discussing a family problem or disagreement, you may be eager to share your thoughts. However, do not think about how you feel or wish to respond. Focus only on the speaker and their thoughts and opinions on the matter.

Show you're listening using non-verbal cues.

You want the speaker to feel valued. Make sure to show you're listening. You can convey you're paying attention via non-verbal cues. 【4】 Smiles and laugh when necessary, and keep eye contact.

Make sure the speaker has finished talking before you talk.

It's okay to accept a pause. A couple of seconds of silence in a conversation is not a bad thing, and allows the speaker a chance to fully express themselves. Instead of immediately launching into your response, pause for a moment after the speaker finishes talking.【5】

People have a natural tendency to pause when they speak. If you notice the speaker has paused, do not assume they've done talking. Give them a few seconds before you respond.

A.Focus on the speaker’s words and not what you'll say next.

B.Never think about other things when someone is talking.

C.You can think of how you will respond later.

D.Thus, it is necessary to make sure to listen actively and here are how.

E.This will allow you to make sure they’ve completely finished talking.

F.Therefore, the following will tell you how to be interactive with the speaker.

G.Nod as the speaker talks.
