【答案】b

【分析】

【详细】审查目前完成时与主述一致。 在过去的三个月里，这位音乐家和他的乐队成员已经完成了10场演出。 从“in the last three months”可以看出，该语句的时态是当前完成时，因此排除了AD选项。 文中主语为the musician，为第三人称单数形式。 文中“along with his band members”为附加成分，谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。 所以选b。

【答案】b

【分析】

【详细调查】调查同位语的从句。 科学家已经取得了很多证据，塑料正在进入人们的体内。 从句不缺少句子结构，且指与evidence相同的事件，用that导出同义词的从句。 所以选b。

26.nowadays the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ fortravellingisshiftedfromshoppingtofodandscenery。

a.priority b.potential c.proportion d.pension

【答案】a

【分析】

a.toenjoyb.enjoying c.tohaveenjoyedd.enjoy

【答案】a

【分析】

【详细调查】调查谓语以外的动词。 这里是不定式作宾语。 为了享受数字支付的便利，很多老年市民开始使用智能手机。 所以选a。

31.What a pity！ You missed the sightseeing，or we _________a good time together。

a.hadb.willhavec.wouldhavehadd.had had

【答案】c

【分析】

【详细】调查虚拟的语气。 真遗憾啊。 你错过了这次观光。 否则，我们本应该一起度过快乐的时光。 从以上内容可以看出，这是对过去事件的假想，与过去的事实相反。 其句子结构在从句： If主语过去完成时为其他，主句：主语should(would，could，might )现在完成时为其他，因此记为c。

32.China \’ simageisimprovingsteadily，withmorecountries _ _ _ _ _ itsroleininternationalaffairs。

a.resembling b.reflecting c.reviewing d.restoring

【答案】b

【分析】

【答案】d

【分析】

【详细】调查情景进行对话。 —— )休息一下喝咖啡吧。 ——你说得对。 我们已经工作了好几个小时了。 接下来说“我们已经工作了好几个小时”，上述应该赞同这个建议。 不需要why bother； 为什么加微信？ You got me there你把我弄糊涂了； You said it你是对的，所以选择d。

第二节：完形填空(共20小题； 每小题1分，满分20分)

请仔细阅读以下短文，从短文后各问题给出的A、b、c、d四个选项中选择最佳选项，并在答题卡上将其涂黑。

【分析】

这是一篇类似叙利亚剪辑会议的文章。 在现代，野生动物受到很大的威胁，每天都有一些物种灭绝。 白鹤就是其中之一。 但是，很多人正在竭尽全力保护这些物种免遭灭绝。 克里斯和Tim努力，帮助一只叫Emma的雌性鹤繁殖了五只幼鹤。

【36题详细情况】

根据最初的“wildlifehasbeengreatlythreatenedinthemodernage”和最后的“…thespeciesfromgoingoutofexistence”，野生动物受到很大威胁，每天

【37题详细情况】

前文说物种每天都在消失，应该意味着科学家们正在竭尽全力保护这些物种免遭灭绝。 因此，b选项是正确的。

【38题详细解】

根据最后一句所述的科学家们竭尽全力保护濒危物种，推测Chris和Tim应该帮助濒危物种繁殖，并增加数量以避免灭绝。 因此，这片天空应该指向“繁殖”，C选项是正确的。

【39题详细解】

自2004年以来，Emma一直由Chris和Tim照顾。 这片天空与下一句中的“human caretaker”相呼应。 所以选a。

【40题详细情况】

根据空后的“human caretakers”，caretaker当然是在照顾Emma。 因此，此文应意味着Emma出生于由人类养育和照顾的国际鹤基地。 所以选择c。

【41题详细】

根据空后的though，可以看出though前后的两个句子之间是转换关系。 如后所述，她很开心。 根据转换关系，前言应表示“但这导致了意想不到的结果”。 b选项是正确的。

【42题详细情况】

根据下面的“becomedeeplyattachedtohumans…even…killingsomeofthem”等，可以看出Emma一直被人照顾着，不把自己当成鹤，而是深深地留恋着人类。 所以选a。

【43题详细情况】

根据上述内容，Emma不认为自己是鹤，所以“拒绝”和雄鹤一起生活。 b选项是正确的。

【44题详细情况】

根据even这一递归关系，我们发现Emma不仅拒绝与雄鹤生活，还因为杀死了几只雄鹤而“臭名昭著”。 因此，d选项是正确的。

【45题详细情况】

由于Emma拒绝与雄鹤生活，她当然“不可能”生下鹤，成为母亲。 d选项是正确的。

【46题详细情况】

前述Emma拒绝与雄鹤生活，因此她没能生下小鹤。 以下是两位动物园管理员不想看到这种物种的灭绝。 由此可见，语境之间是一种转换关系。 C选项是正确的。

【47题详细情况】

经过努力，克里斯和Tim成功地将“人工繁殖”和“自然繁殖”联系起来。 a的选择是正确的。

【48题详细解】

克里斯和Tim成功将“人工繁殖”和“自然繁殖”结合起来，Emma诞生了5只幼鹤。 enable sb. to do sth .的意思是“……使之能做某事”，d的选择是正确的。

【49题详细解】

根据后文

more efforts must be made推测，尽管两人对自己的成果感到自豪，但野生鹤的数量正在减少，因此还需要更加努力。 所以他们还不能完全放心。 所以选择c。 assured的意思是“可靠、自信、自信”。

【50题详细情况】

据because报道，前后文之间存在因果关系，据more efforts must be made报道，野生仙鹤的数量正在减少，因此可以推测需要更加努力。 因此，d选项是正确的。

【51题详细】

根据前文，野生仙鹤的数量正在减少，其他许多物种似乎也在灭绝。 该文称，并不是所有人都意识到野生动物有思想、感情和平等生活的权利。 很明显，这解释了前文提到的野生动物濒临灭绝的原因。 因此，b选项是正确的。 全部：只不过。

【52题详细情况】

对于上述许多物种灭绝的现象，作者提出了一个问题。 如何消除将人与动物隔开的不断扩大的鸿沟呢？ b选项是正确的。

53题详细解说】

前言提出了一个问题。 我们如何消除将人与动物隔开的不断扩大的鸿沟呢？ 克里斯和Tim的做法为我们提供了答案。 C选项是正确的。

【54题详细】

根据以下的“hold all the solutions”，可以推测人类认为自己的“大脑”掌握着所有的解决方案。 也就是说，人类认为自己的大脑会想出所有的解决方案。 a的选择是正确的。

【55题详细情况】

转而通过but，人们当然可以认为自己的“大脑”掌握了所有的解决方案。 但是，他们也许可以用“心”更好地“引领”他们，保护濒危物种。 因此，a的选择是正确的。

第三部分：阅读理解(共15小题； 每小题2分，满分30分)

请仔细阅读以下短文，从短文后各问题给出的A、b、c、d四个选项中选择最佳选项，并在答题卡上将其涂黑。

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。短文向游客介绍了去布克斯顿旅游可以去的一些景点的相关信息。

【56题详解】

细节理解题。由High energy中的“…… journey beneath the earth at Poole\’s Cavern”可知，在 Poole\’s Cavern，可以在地下旅行，也就是乘坐地铁旅行。所以如果你想乘地铁旅行，Poole\’s Cavern是你最好的选择。故A选项正确。

【57题详解】

细节理解题。由High minded中的“Buxton is justifiably proud of it’s cultural life and you will find much to suit all tastes with art ,music,opera,and the performing arts at Buxton Opera House&Pavilion Arts Center and Green Man Gallery”可知，Buxton 以其丰富的文化生活而自豪，在Buxton Opera House&Pavilion Arts Center and Green Man Gallery，您将发现许多适合各种品味的艺术、音乐、歌剧和表演艺术。所以Buxton Opera House&Pavilion Arts Center特别是因为它提供艺术和文化活动。故C选项正确。

B

In the 1960s，while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park，Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that，oddly，had not troubled anyone before:he couldn\’t find the park\’s volcano. It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature — that\’s what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features. But Christiansen couldn\’t find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.

Most of us，when we talk about volcanoes，think of the classic cone(圆锥体)shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro，which are created when erupting magma(岩浆)piles up. These can form remarkably quickly. In 1943，a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land. In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high. Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across. Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth，all but a few hundred of them extinct. There is，however，a second les known type of volcano that doesn\’t involve mountain building. These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack，leaving behind a vast hole，the caldera. Yellowstone obviously was of this second type，but Christiansen couldn\’t find the caldera anywhere.

Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors\’ centers. As soon as Christiansen saw the photos，he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera; almost the whole park-2.2 million acres—was caldera. The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles across—much too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.

58. What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone？

A. Its complicated geographical features.

B. Its ever-lasting influence on tourism.

C. The mysterious history of the park.

D. The exact location of the volcano.

59. What does the second-paragraph mainly talk about？

A. The shapes of volcanoes.

B. The impacts of volcanoes.

C. The activities of volcanoes.

D. The heights of volcanoes.

60. What does the underlined word \”blow-up\” in the last paragraph most probably mean？

A. Hot-air balloon. B. Digital camera.

C. Big photograph. D. Bird\’s view.

【答案】58. D 59. A 60. C

【解析】

本文为记叙文。讲述了二十世纪六十年代Bob Christiansen在研究黄石公园的火山历史时，奇怪地发现到处看不到火山的影子，原来，这儿的火山并不是像我们大部分人想象的那种圆锥体形状的高耸的样子，而是一个巨大的洞，这个洞太大了以至于从地面上的任何地方都看不见。

Who cares if people think wrongly that the Internet has had more important influences than the washing machine? Why does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes?

It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people\’s opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.

The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so \”yesterday\” that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in \”post-industrial society\” has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector(制造业) with negative consequences for their economies.

Even more worryingly, the fascination with the Internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the \”digital divide\” between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipment and Internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people\’s lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.

In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a \”borderless world\”. As a result, in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.

Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level. However, our fascination with the latest, and our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.

61. Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to __________.

A. a lack of confidence in technology

B. a slow progress in technology

C. a conflict of public opinions

D. a waste of limited resources

62. The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that donators should __________.

A. take people\’s essential needs into account

B. make their programmes attractive to people

C. ensure that each child gets financial support

D. provide more affordable internet facilities

63. What has led many governments to remove necessary regulations?

A. Neglecting the impacts of technological advances.

B. Believing that the world has become borderless.

C. Ignoring the power of economic development.

D. Over-emphasizing the role of international communication.

64. What can we learn from the passage?

A. People should be encouraged to make more donations.

B. Traditional technology still has a place nowadays.

C. Making right career choices is crucial to personal success.

D. Economic policies should follow technological trends.

【答案】61. D 62. A 63. B 64. B

【解析】

本文属于议论文，讲述对信息技术的过分迷恋对国家，对个人，对慈善事业都会有不利的影响。

【61题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段However, they have reak impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources. 可知，对信息技术的错误判断会导致有限资源的错误使用，也就是资源的浪费，故选D。

【62题详解】

推理判断题。根据第四段Perhaps giving money for those less fashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks and making more affordable washing machines would have improved people\’s lives more than giving every child a laptop computer or setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily more important, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes without carefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.可知，与其给那些贫困地区孩子笔记本电脑或者建网络中心，还不如给钱打井，铺电网或者生产他们买得起的洗衣机，这些东西更能改善他们的生活。作者不是说这些东西一定更重要，但是很多捐赠者没有仔细考虑捐赠的东西的长期成本，因此作者建议捐赠者要考虑接受捐赠的人的实际情况，而不是一味地追求信息化，故选A。

【63题详解】

推理判断题。根据第五段In yet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe that the recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation are so revolutionary that now we live in a \”borderless world\”. 以及Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.可知，对新东西的迷恋让人们认为如今通讯技术和交通的变革让我们生活在一个无国界的世界。正是认为我们生活在这样一个世界，很多政府取消了关于跨国界的资本、劳动力以及商品流动的法律法规，故选B。

【64题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so \”yesterday\” that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in \”post-industrial society\” has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector(制造业) with negative consequences for their economies.可知，对互联网呈现的通讯技术变革的迷恋让很多富裕国家做出一个错误的结论，制造产品已经过时了，他们应该靠创意生活，因而忽略了制造业，从而对经济造成不利影响，故可知，传统的技术依然有它的地位，不能新兴的信息技术取代，故选B。

The 65-year-old Steve Goodwin was found suffering from early Alzheimer’s(阿尔楚海默症). He was losing his memory.

A software engineer by profession, Steve was a keen lover of the piano, and the only musician in his family. Music was his true passion, though he had never performed outside the family.

Melissa, his daughter, felt it more than worthwhile to save his music, to which she fell asleep catch night when she was young. She thought about hiring a professional pianist to work with her father.

Naomi, Melissa’s best friend and a talented pianist, got to know about this and showed willingness to help.

“Why do this?” Steve wondered.

“Because she cares.” Melissa said.

Steve nodded, tears in eye.

Naomi drove to the Goodwin home. She told Steve she’d love to hear him play. Steve moved to the piano and sat at the bench, hands trembling as he gently placed his fingers on the keys.

Naomi put a small recorder near the piano, Starts and stops and mistakes. Long pauses, heart sinking. But Steve pressed on, playing for the first time in his life for a stranger.

“It was beautiful.\” Naomi said after listening to the recording. “The music was worth saving.”

Her responsibility, her privilege, would be to rescue it. The music was sill in Steve Goodwin. It was bidden in rooms with doors about to be locked.

Naomi and Steve met every other week and spent hours together. He’d move his fingers clumsily on the piano, and then she’d take his place. He struggled to explain what he heard in his head. He stood by the piano, eyes closed, listening for the first time to his own work being played by someone else.

Steve and Naomi spoke in musical code lines, beats, intervals, moving from the root to end a song in a new key. Steve heard it. All of it. He just couldn’t play it.

Working with Naomi did wonders for Steve. It had excited within him the belief he could write one last song. One day, Naomi received an email. Attached was a recording, a recording of loss and love, of the fight. Steve called it “Melancholy Flower”.

Naomi heard multiple stops and starts, Steve struggling, searching while his wife Joni called him “honey” and encouraged him. The task was so hard, and Steve, angry and upset, said he was quitting. Joni praised him, telling her husband this could be his signature piece.

Naomi managed to figure out 16 of Steve’s favorite, and most personal songs. With Naomi’s help, the Goodwin family found a sound engineer to record Naomi playing Steve’s songs. Joni thought that would be the end. But it wasn’t.

In the months leading up to the 2016 Oregon Repertory Singers Christmas concert, Naomi told the director she had a special one in mind: “Melancholy Flower”

She told the director about her project with Steve. The director agreed to add it to the playing list. But Naomi would have to ask Steve’s permission. He considered it an honor.

After the concert, Naomi told the family that Steve’s music was beautiful and professional. It needed to be shared in public.

The family rented a former church in downtown Portland and scheduled a concert. By the day of the show, more than 300 people had said they would attend.

By then, Steve was having a hard time remembering the names of some of his friends. He knew the path his life was now taking. He told his family he was at peace.

Steve arrived and sat in the front row, surrounded by his family. The house lights faded. Naomi took the stage. Her fingers. His heart.
