第二部分：知识运用（共两节，45 分）

第一节语法填空（共 10 小题；每小题 1.5 分，共 15 分）

A

阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写 1 个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。

The first time I saw May, she ___1___ (sit) in my front yard, hugging my dog Harley. She had just moved into a small house down the road from us. From the second I talked to her, I knew May would be a cherished friend. Her smile and good cheer made me feel better when I was around her.

It didn’t take long ___2___ May was beloved by everyone in our neighborhood. Children

and adults visited her home often. When we visited her, she would kindly listen to all of

our ___3___ (trouble) and then say something so wise that we would leave her home with our

hearts ___4___ (sing).

【答案】1. was sitting

2. before

3. troubles

4. singing

【解析】

【分析】

这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了作者第一次见到朋友May的情景。【1题详解】考查时态。句意：我第一次见到梅的时候，她正坐在我家前院，抱着我的狗哈利。分析句子“The first time

I saw May,”可知，此处应用一般过去时。分析句意可知，此处描述的是我第一见到May时，她正坐在我

家前院里，应用进行时。由此可知，此处使用过去进行时。故填was sitting。

【2题详解】

考查连接词。句意：没过多久，梅就受到了我们周围每个人的喜爱。It didn’t take long before..固定

用法，意为“过了不久就……”。分析句子可知，此处表示没过多久，梅就受到了我们周围每个人的喜爱。

故填before。

【3题详解】

考查名词。句意：当我们去看她时，她会亲耳倾听我们所有的烦恼，然后说一些睿智的话，让我们在离开

她的家时，心里都在歌唱。trouble名词，意为“麻烦，烦恼”；当表示具体的麻烦事或烦恼时，是一个

可数名词，由空前our可知，此处应使用名词复数。故填troubles。

【4题详解】

考查with的复合结构。句意：当我们去看她时，她会亲耳倾听我们所有的烦恼，然后说一些睿智的话，让

我们在离开她的家时，心里都在歌唱。分析句子可知，此处的sing与heart之间是主动关系，故填singing。

【点睛】“with+宾语+宾补”的复合结构是高中语法必考项之一。做这类题时一定要分析，动词与宾语之间

的关系，若是表示主动或进行，则用dong；若是表示被动或完成，则用done；若是表示将要发生的事情，

则用to do；其他请况，若是表示状态则可以用形容词、副词或介词短语来充当宾补。如第4小题，sing

与heart之间是主动关系，所以应使用现在分词形式。

B

阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写 1 个适当的单词，在给出提示词

的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。

We are drowning in a sea of free information. The Internet is in our businesses, homes and our bedrooms. An army of designers and data engineers spend their working life figuring out ways ___5___ (make) us stay plugged in longer. Our desires are repackaged by giant tech companies and then ___6___ (sell) back to us under the cover of free content, but it isn't free. We are paying for it with invisible currencies, such as our time and privacy, ___7___ people are only now beginning to understand.

【答案】5. to make

6. are sold

7. which

【解析】

这是一篇议论文。我们淹没在自由信息的海洋中，互联网在我们身边各处。直到现在人们才意识到一直以来消费的都是自己的时间和隐私。

【5题详解】

考查不定式作状语。句意：一大群设计师和数据工程师花费他们的工作时间，想办法让我们更长久地保持联系。分析句子可知，设计师和数据工程师的目的就是，想办法让我们更长久地保持联系。应使用不定式，表目的。故填to make。

【6题详解】

考查语态。句意：我们的欲望被大型科技公司重新包装，然后在免费内容的掩护下卖给我们，但并不是免费的。分析句子可知，此处是and并列了两个谓语动词，时态应跟are repackaged保持一致，即一般现在时。且sell与主语our desires之间是被动关系，应使用被动语态。故填are sold。

【7题详解】

考查非限制定语从句。句意：我们用无形的货币来支付，比如我们的时间和隐私，这些东西人们现在才开始了解。分析句子可知，空后是一个非限制定语从句，且从句中动词understand后缺宾语，应使用关系代词which引导。故填which。

C

阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写 1 个适当的单词，在给出提示词

的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。

Finding the opportunity to read can be a challenge, so it comes ___8___ (nature) that audiobooks (有声书) have become a preferred choice. ___9___ the help of audiobook, people can enjoy their favorite books while exercising or commuting to school. Audiobooks ___10___ (grow) in popularity up till now, for they are undoubtedly a useful way to escape the stresses

of modern life and a good way to keep busy.

【答案】8. naturally

9. With 10. have grown/have been growing

【解析】

这是一篇议论文。文章论述了有声读物给人们带来的好处。有声读物既是逃避现代生活压力的有用方法，也是保持忙碌的好方法。

【8题详解】

考查副词。句意：寻找阅读的机会是一个挑战，因此有声读物自然成为首选。分析句子可知，此处修饰动词comes，应用副词形式。故填naturally。

【9题详解】

考查介词。句意：在有声读物的帮助下，人们可以在锻炼或上下班上学时欣赏自己喜爱的书籍。固定搭配with the help of意为“在……的帮助下”，此处位于句首，首字母应大写。故填With。

【10题详解】

考查时态。句意：有声读物到目前为止越来越受欢迎，为它们无疑是逃避现代生活压力的有用方法，也是保持忙碌的好方法。分析文章可知，句中有时间状语up till now，应该用现在完成时态；根据句意可知，有声读物越来越受欢迎这件事情将来还可持续下去，用现在完成进行时也符合题意。故填have grown/have been growing。

第二节完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，共 30 分）

My Grandpa Forgets Who I Am

A few days ago I visited my grandfather in hospital. He has Alzhemier’s—a degenerative disease that usually starts slowly and gets worse over time. I thought I was prepared to see him. I knew chances were slim that he'd actually recognize me.

He didn’t. As a matter of fact, he had no idea that he even had grandchildren. But he was excited that somebody came to visit him. I tried to explain to him who I was. But after

he told me multiple times that he didn’t have grandchildren, I gave up. And my heart broke into a million little pieces.

I was tired of explaining things to him. So I just smiled. He smiled back. It's a genuine smile. Like a long time ago, when he’d take me by the hand and made this big world a little

bit less scary for me. Now I have to take his hand.

We sat in silence for a little while, before he told me to call my grandma. This was the first time I had tried so hard to hold back tears. My grandma died four years ago and he didn't remember. He thought she was stuck on her way to pick him up.

My grandpa used to be a strong, hard-working man. He was the person you turned to when you needed your car fixed, your tires changed or something heavy to be carried. Sadly, that man left this world a long time ago, and left behind a man that is lost and scared.

I want to help him. I want to make him feel better. I want to tell him about his old life, and how great it was. So I sat with him and I held his hand, and every once in a while I told him how good he looked and how much I liked the color of his shirt and how it brought out the blue in his eyes. I told him that my grandma was on her way whenever he asked about her, and I made sure the glass in his hand was always filled with water.

I can’t take away his pain. I can’t help him remember. I can’t make the disease go away. All I can do is hold on to the memories—hold on for both of us.

34. When the author first saw her grandpa in hospital ______.

A. she gave up on him

B. they were both excited

C. he didn’t recognize her

D. they talked about the past

35. The author was close to tears because ______.

A. grandma died about four years ago

B. grandpa needed to be taken care of

C. grandma didn’t make it to the hospital

D. grandpa believed grandma was still alive

36. Which of the following best describe the author?

A. Tolerant and merciful.

B. Considerate and patient.

C. Warm-hearted and grateful.

D. Strong-minded and generous.

37. The author wrote this passage to ______.

A. show pity towards her grandpa

B. record memories of her grandpa

C. express deep love for her grandpa

D. call on further study on Alzheimer’s

【答案】34. C 35. D 36. B 37. C

One day, gardeners might not just hear the buzz of bees among their flowers, but the whirr of robots, too. Scientists have managed to turn an unassuming drone (无人机) into a

remote-controlled pollinator (授粉媒介) by attaching horsehairs coated with a special, sticky

gel to its underbelly.

Animal pollinators are needed for the reproduction of 90% of flowering plants and one third of human food crops. Chief among those are bees — but many bee populations in the United States have been in steep decline in recent decades. Thus, the decline of bees isn't just worrisome because it could disrupt ecosystems, but also because it could disrupt agriculture and economy. People have been trying to come up with replacement techniques, but none of them are especially effective yet.

Scientists have thought about using drones, but they haven't figured out how to make free-flying robot insects that can rely on their own power source without being attached to a wire. “It’s very tough work,” said senior author Eijiro Miyako, a chemist at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology. His particular contribution to the field involves a gel, one he’d considered a mistake 10 years before and stuck in a storage cabinet. When it was rediscovered a decade later, it hadn’t dried up or degraded at all. “I was so surprised because it still had high viscosity,” Miyako said.

The chemist noticed that when dropped, the gel absorbed an impressive amount of dust from the floor. Miyako realized this material could be very useful for picking up pollen (花粉). He and his colleagues chose a drone and attached horsehairs to its smooth surface to mimic a bee’s fuzzy body. They coated those horsehairs in the gel, and then controlled the drones over lilies, where they would pick up the pollen from one flower and then deposit the pollen at another one, thus fertilizing it.

The scientists looked at the hairs under a scanning electron microscope and counted up the pollen grains attached to the surface and found that the drones whose horsehairs had been coated with the gel had about 10 times more pollen than those that had not been coated with the gel.

Miyako does not think such drones would replace bees altogether, but could simply help bees with their pollinating duties. There’s a lot of work to be done before that's a reality, however. Small drones will need to become more controllable and energy efficient, as well as smarter, with better GPS and artificial intelligence.

38. What does the underlined word “viscosity” in Para.3 probably mean?

A. Hardness.

B. Stickiness.

C. Flexibility.

D. Purity.

39. We can learn from the passage that ______.

A. bees disrupt both agriculture and economy

B. scientists have invented self-powered robot insects

C. bees in the United States are on the edge of extinction

D. Miyako found the special feature of the gel by chance

40. A drone works best in picking up pollen when ______.

A. its body is made like a bee’s

B. its GPS works more efficiently

C. some flowers are coated with the gel

D. horsehairs with the gel are attached to it

41. According to Eijiro Miyako, the drones ______.

A. are not yet ready for practical use

B. may eventually replace bees in the future

C. are much more efficient than bee pollinators

D. can provide a solution to economic depression

【答案】38. B 39. D 40. D 41. A

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了蜜蜂数量的减少令人担忧，因为这可能破坏生态系统，也可能破坏农业和经济。人们一直在试图想出替代技术，科学家们通过在马毛的下腹部贴上一层特殊的粘性凝胶，成功地将一种不起眼的雄蜂变成了一种遥控传粉器。

【38题详解】

词义猜测题。根据第三段中“When it was rediscovered a decade later, it hadn’t dried up or degraded at all.”可知，十年后被重新发现时，凝胶根本没有干枯或退化。因此Miyako惊讶的是它仍然具有很高的粘性。结合选项，故选B。

【39题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段中“ His particular contribution to the field involves a gel, one he’d considered a mistake 10 years before and stuck in a storage cabinet. When it was rediscovered a decade later, it hadn’t dried up or degraded at all.”可知，Miyako是偶然间发现凝胶这种特殊特性的。结合选项，故选D。

【40题详解】

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The scientists looked at the hairs under a scanning electron

microscope and counted up the pollen grains attached to the surface and found that the drones whose horsehairs had been coated with the gel had about 10 times more pollen than those that had not been coated with the gel.”可知，科学家们在扫描电子显微镜下观察了这些毛发，并对附着在表面的花粉粒进行了计数，发现那些马毛上涂有凝胶的雄蜂的花粉量大约是没有涂有凝胶的雄蜂的10倍。结合选项，故选D。

【41题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“ There’s a lot of work to be done before that's a reality, ”可知，在投入使用之前，还有很多工作需要做。故可知，这种无人机还未投入使用。结合选项，故选A。

D

“If I only had a little humility, I’d be perfect,” the media giant Ted Turner supposedly said sometime in the 1990s. Why be modest? Aristotle said: “All men by nature desire to know.”Intellectual humility is a particular instance of humility, since you can be down-to-earth about most things but still ignore your mental limitations.

Intellectual humility means recognising that we don’t know everything. Actually, it means

we should acknowledge that we're probably biased in our belief about just how much we understand and seek out the sources of wisdom that we lack.

The Internet and digital media have created the impression of limitless knowledge at our fingertips. But, by making us lazy, they have opened up a space that ignorance can fill. The psychologist Tania Lombrozo of the University of California explained how technology enhances our illusions (错觉) of wisdom. She argues that the way we access information is critical

to our understanding — and the more easily we can recall an image, word or statement, the more likely we’ll think we’ve successfully learned it, and so withdraw from effortful cognitive processing. Logical puzzles presented in an unfriendly font (字体), for example, can encourage someone to make extra effort to solve them. Yet this approach runs counter to the nice designs

of the apps and sites that populate our screens, where our brain processes information in

a “smooth” way. What about all the information that presents online? Well, your capacity

to learn from it depends on your attitudes. Intellectually humble people don’t hide or ignore their weaknesses. In fact, they see them as sources of personal development, and use arguments

as an opportunity to refine their views. People who are humble by nature tend to be more open-minded and quicker to resolve disputes, since they recognise that their own opinions might not be valid.

At the other end of the scale lies intellectual arrogance. Such arrogance almost always originates from the egocentric bias – the tendency to overestimate their own virtue or importance, ignoring the role of chance or the influence of other people’s actions on their lives. This is what makes these people credit success to themselves and failure to circumstance. From an evolutionary perspective, intellectual arrogance can also be seen as a way of achieving dominance through forcing one’s view on others. Intellectually arrogant people hardly invest mental resources in discussion or working towards group consensus, thus making it hard for groups to work successfully.

The Thrive Center for Human Development in California, which seeks to help young people tum into successful adults, is funding a series of major studies about intellectual humility. Their hypothesis is that humility, curiosity and openness are key to a fulfilling life. “Without humility, you are unable to learn,” Laszlo Bock, Google’s Head of People Operations, notes.

42. The passage is mainly about ______.

A. the harm arrogance does to us

B. the key elements to a fulfilling life

C. the significance of intellectual humility

D. the way people access information online

43. Technology enhances our illusions of wisdom because it ______.

A. enables people to think critically

B. offers too much unreliable information

C. allows easy access to abundant information

D. makes it hard for people to recall information

44. According to Para. 4, intellectually humble people ______.

A. value others’ opinions more than their own

B. use online information to better themselves

C. are unwilling to show their strengths

D. prefer to solve difficult problems

45. The author will probably agree that ______.

A. intellectual arrogance is the result of evolution

B. intellectually arrogant people often lack team spirits

Web sites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with care. On－line shoppers who enter their credit－card information may never receive the goods they thought they bought.The thieves then go shopping with your card number—or sell the information over the Internet. Computers hackers (黑客) have broken down security（安全）systems, raising questions about the safety of cardholder information. Several months ago, 25,000 customers of CD Universe, an on－line music retailer (零售商) , were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit－card numbers were posted on a Web site after the retailer refused to pay US $157,828 to get back the information. Credit－card firms are now fighting against on－line fraud. Mastercard is working on plans for Web－only credit card, with a lower credit limit. The card could be used only for shopping on－line. However, there are a few simple steps you can take to keep from being cheated (欺骗). Ask about your credit－card firm’s on－line rules: Under British law, cardholders have to pay the first US $78 of any fraudulent (欺骗性的) spending. And shop only at secure sites; Send your credit－card information only if the Web site offers advanced secure system. If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right－hand
