A

(2017·广州检测二)Philadelphia is a city known for many things. It is where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, and it was also the first capital of the United States. 1.________ It is home to nearly 3，000 murals(壁画) painted on the sides of homes and buildings around the city. That’s more murals than any other city on Earth. 2.________ More than 20 years ago, a New Jersey artist named Jane Golden started a program pairing troubled youth with artists to paint murals on a few buildings around the city. 3.________ The teenagers involved helped to create magnificent pieces of art, and there were other, even more important, benefits. The young people learned to cooperate and get along with many different kinds of people during the painting. They learned to be responsible, because they needed to follow a schedule to make sure the murals were completed. 4.________ It is hard for anyone to see the spectacular designs and not feel proud to be a part of Philadelphia.

Take a walk around some of the poorest neighbourhoods in Philadelphia and you will find beautiful works of art on the sides and fronts of buildings. Of course the murals are not just in poor neighbourhoods, but richer ones as well. Special buses take tourists to different parts of the city to see the various murals, which show the diverse ethnic groups that call Philadelphia home.

5．________ It is also a model for other cities throughout America seeking to help troubled youth.

A．How did this come to be?

B．What happened to the murals on earth?

C．They also learned to take pride in their community.

D．But one fact about Philadelphia is not so well-known.

E．From this small project, something magical happened.

F．The program encouraged troubled youth to paint together with their teachers.

G．As a result of its success, the mural program has now become the nation’s largest public art program.

[解题导语] 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了费城壁画的发展历史及其重大意义。

1．D 解析：由本段第一句可知，费城因为许多东西而闻名。D项“但是有一个事实不是很为人所知”是对前文的转折，同时引出本文所要介绍的内容，承上启下，符合语境。故选D项。

2．A 解析：上一句介绍了费城拥有比世界其他城市都多的壁画；下文介绍了费城壁画发展的历史。A项“这是怎么出现的？”承上启下，符合语境。故选A项。

3．E 解析：根据下一句中的“there were other, even more important, benefits?可知，这些问题少年参与到壁画的创作中，并且在这个过程中带来了更重要的益处。E项“从这个小小的项目中，一些神奇的事情发生了”引出了对壁画益处的介绍，符合语境。故选E项。

4．C 解析：根据下一句“It is hard for anyone...not feel proud to be a part of Philadelphia.”可知，人们开始将这些壁画当作是费城引以为傲的一部分。C项意为“他们同样学会了为自己的社区感到骄傲”，句中的“also”承接上文，take pride in与下文中的“feel proud”相呼应，承上启下，符合语境。故选C项。

5．G 解析：根据下一句“It is also a model for other cities...”可知，最后总结了壁画对费城产生的影响。G项意为“由于它的成功，这个壁画项目已经成为整个国家最大的公共艺术项目?，是对费城壁画的地位评价，总结全文，符合语境。故选G项。

Until 【答案】C 点睛：条件状语从句通常由引导词if或unless引导。条件是指某一件事情实现之后（状语从句中的动作），其它事情（主句中的动作）才能发生，通常译作“假如”。 2.【2018·北京】5. She and her family bicycle to work, _________ helps them keep fit.[来源:https://www.wendangku.net/doc/5a18516349.html,] A. which B. who C. as D. that 【答案】A 【解析】考查非限制性定语从句。句意：她和家人骑自行车去上班，这有助于她们保持健康。“____ helps them keep fit” 是非限制性定语从句，该从句修饰整个主句，引导词在从句中做主语，故该从句应用关系代词which 引导。A选项正确。 点睛：非限制性定语从句即可修饰主句的一部分，也可以修饰整个主句。其引导词的选择和限制性定语从 句的判断规则一致，即：第一、找准先行词；第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。需要注意的是，that 不能引导非限制性定语从句。 3.【2018·北京】8.

Task 1：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。 (2014·新课标全国Ⅱ，C)One of the latest trends(趋势) in American childcare is Chinese au pairs.Au Pair in Stamford，Conn.，for example，has got increasing numbers of requests for Chinese au pairs from zero to around 4,000 since 2004.And that's true all across the country. “I thought it would be very useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age，”Joseph Stocke，the managing director of a company，says of his 2-year-old son.“I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future.”After only six months of being cared for by a 25-year-old woman from China，the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions，his dad says. Li Drake，a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband，had another reason for looking for an au pair from China：She didn't want her children to miss out on their roots.“Because I am Chinese，my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触) the language and culture，”she says. “Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom，”says Suzanne Flynn，a professor in language education of children.“But parents must understand that just one year with an au pair is unlikely to produce https://www.wendangku.net/doc/5a18516349.html,plete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.” The popularity of au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese.It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years. 【语篇解读】本文讲到了美国现在存在的一种趋势，即越来越多的美国人想找中国女佣照顾孩子，以利于孩子学习汉语。 1．What does the term“au pair”in the text mean? A．A mother raising her children on her own. B．A child learning a foreign language at home. C．A professor in language education of children. D．A young foreign woman taking care of children. 答案D[词义猜测题。根据文章第二段中“After only six months of being cared by 25-year-old woman...daily expressions”和第三段中“...had another reason for looking for an au pair
