【4题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“Thismorning,Icalledmybrother,Larry,andsaid,“Ihaveapieceofgoodnewsandadpieceofbadnews.Whichdoyouwanttohearfirst?”“Goodnewsfirst,”Larryanswered.“Youcangotosleepearlytonight,”Isaid.“Okay.What’sthebadone?”heasked.“We’regoingtotheopera!”Ianswered,laughingloudly.”（今天早上，我打电话给我哥哥拉里，说：“我有一个好消息和一个坏消息。你想先听哪个？“先说好消息，”拉里回答。“今晚你可以早点睡觉，”我说。“好吧。哪个是坏的？他问。“我们要去看歌剧！”我大声笑着回答。）可推知，作者是通过引用对话来展开第二段的。故选D项。【5题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“Actually,mostofthetime,whenthegamewason,I’dbetextingordaydreaming.”（事实上，大多数时候，当比赛开始时，我都在发短信或做白日梦。）可推知，作者对篮球比赛的最初反应是满不在乎的。故选C项。【6题详解】词义猜测题。根据最后一段中“However,today,asIlookedaroundatthousandsofpeoplecheeringandgettingincreasinglyexcited,Iwasdeterminedtoatleastgiveitatry—formybrother’ssake,ifnotformyown.”（然而，今天，当我看到周围成千上万的人在欢呼，越来越兴奋时，我决定至少试一试——如果不是为了我自己，也是为了我哥哥。）以及“Mybrotherwassurprisedtoseemegettinginvolved.Iwasastonishedmyself!”（我哥哥看到我参与进来很惊讶。我自己也惊呆了！）由此可知，此处为游戏很激烈，我很快就被迷住了。故可猜测划线单词hooked为“迷住”的意思，结合选项Addicted“沉迷的”意思一致。故选A项。【7题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“LarryandIhavealwayshadourbasicvaluesincommon,butourinterestsareasfarapartasoperaandbasketball.Iloveart,andheisahugesportsfan.”（拉里和我一直有共同的基本价值观，但我们的兴趣就像歌剧和篮球一样相去甚远。我热爱艺术，而他是一个狂热的体育迷。）可知，提到作者喜欢歌剧。和最后一段中“However,today,asIlookedaroundatthousandsofpeoplecheeringandgettingincreasinglyexcited,Iwasdeterminedtoatleastgiveitatry—formybrother’ssake,ifnotformyown.Thegamewasintense,andIwashookedsoon.Whentheotherteamscored,Ieventuallyfeltabitdisappointedwiththerestofmycrowd.Mybrotherwassurprisedtoseemegettinginvolved.Iwasastonishedmyself!”（然而，今天，当我看到周围成千上万的人在欢呼，越来越兴奋时，我决定至少试一试——如果不是为了我自己，也是为了我哥哥。游戏很激烈，我很快就被迷住了。当另一支球队得分时，我终于对我的其他观众感到有点失望。我哥哥看到我参与进来很惊讶。我自己也惊呆了！）可知，讲的是作者被篮球比赛吸引住了。由此可知，文章主要讲的是作者从一开始的喜欢歌剧，对哥哥喜欢的篮球不感兴趣，到后来决定试一试认真观看比赛，居然被篮球比赛给吸引住了，对此产生了浓厚的兴趣的故事。故文章最好的 标题是“从歌剧到篮球”。故选B项。CAncientbuildersacrosstheworldcreatedstructuresthatarestillstandingtoday,thousandsofyearslater.Romanbuildersbuiltthickconcreteseabarriersagainstwaves.Mayanbuilderscreatedgreatsculptures,andChinesebuildersconstructedwallsagainstforeignenemies.Agrowingnumberofscientistshavebeenstudyingmaterialssincealongtimeago.Theyarebreakingapartpiecesofbuildingsandreadinghistoricaltextshopingtolearnhowtheyhavestoodforthousandsofyears.Theresearchhasturnedupasurprisinglistofmaterialsthatweremixedintooldbuildings.Theyincludetreebark,volcanicash,riceandbeer.Theseunexpectedmaterialscanhavetheabilitytogetstrongerovertime.Figuringouthowtocopythesefeaturescanhaverealimpactstoday.Whilesomeofourmodernconcretehasthestrengthtoholdupverytallbuildingsandheavystructures,itcannotcompetewiththedurabilityoftheseancientmaterials.ManyscientistshaveturnedtotheRomans.Startingaround200BC,theRomanEmpirewasbuildingconcretestructuresthathavestoodthetestoftime.Eveninplaceswhereseawaterhasbeenhittingstructuresforages,youwillfindconcretebasicallythewayitwaswhenitwaspoured2,000yearsago.TheythinktheyhavefoundanimportantreasonwhysomeRomanconcretehasheldupstructuresforthousandsofyears.Thattheancientmaterialshaveanunusualpowertorestorethemselvesand“cure”cracks(裂缝)whentheyformisthemostshockingforthem.Exactlyhowisnotyetclear,butscientistsarestartingtofindthereasons.Today’sbuilderscannotjustcopytheancientprocesses.EventhoughRomanconcretelastedalongtime,itcouldn’tholdupheavybuildings.Instead,researchersaretryingtotakesomeoftheancientmaterialsandaddthemintomodernmixes.Peopledon’tneedtomakethingslastquiteaslongastheRomansdid.Ifweadd50or100yearstoconcrete’slifespan,we’llsurelyrequirelesspullingdown,lessmaintenanceandlessmaterialinthelongrun.8.WhatwerethementionedRomanandChinesebuildingsbothusedfor?A.Travel.B.Defence.C.Soldiertraining.D.Seawatercontrol.9.Whichwordcanbestdescribetheancientbuildings?A.Long-lasting.B.Energy-efficient.C.Delicate.D.Flexible.10.Whatsurprisesthescientistsmostabouttheancientbuildingmaterials?A.Theirlargecracks.B.Theirclearconcrete.C.Theirinternalstructures.D.Theirself-repairingability.11.Whatistheauthor’sattitudetothefutureconcrete?A.Tolerant.B.Expectant.C.Suspicious.D.Indifferent.【答案】8.B9.A10.D11.B 【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了世界各地的古代建筑者所建造的建筑在几千年后的今天仍然屹立不倒的原因。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中“Romanbuildersbuiltthickconcreteseabarriersagainstwaves.Mayanbuilderscreatedgreatsculptures,andChinesebuildersconstructedwallsagainstforeignenemies.”（罗马的建造者建造了厚厚的混凝土防波堤。玛雅工匠创造了伟大的雕塑，中国工匠建造了抵御外敌的城墙。）可推知，罗马和中国的建筑都是用来起到防御作用的。故选B项。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中“Ancientbuildersacrosstheworldcreatedstructuresthatarestillstandingtoday,thousandsofyearslater.”（世界各地的古代建筑者所建造的建筑在几千年后的今天仍然屹立不倒。）以及第二段中“Agrowingnumberofscientistshavebeenstudyingmaterialssincealongtimeago.Theyarebreakingapartpiecesofbuildingsandreadinghistoricaltextshopingtolearnhowtheyhavestoodforthousandsofyears.”（长久以来，越来越多的科学家一直在研究材料。他们正在拆除建筑物的碎片，阅读历史文献，希望了解它们是如何屹立数千年的。）可推知，这些古建筑能够持久的存在。故选A项。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“Thattheancientmaterialshaveanunusualpowertorestorethemselvesand“cure”crackswhentheyformisthemostshockingforthem.”（这些古老的材料具有一种不寻常的力量，可以在裂缝形成时自我修复和“治愈”裂缝，这对他们来说是最令人震惊的。）可知，古代建筑材料中最令科学家惊讶的是它们的自我修复能力。故选D项。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Ifweadd50or100yearstoconcrete’slifespan,we’llsurelyrequirelesspullingdown,lessmaintenanceandlessmaterialinthelongrun.”（如果我们将混凝土的寿命延长50年或100年，从长远来看，我们肯定需要更少的拆除，更少的维护和更少的材料。）可推知，作者对未来混凝土的态度是期待的。故选B项。DAnewstudyshowshomingpigeons(鸽子)combinepreciseinternalcompassesandmemorizedlandmarkstoretraceapathbacktotheirhome—evenfouryearsaftertheprevioustimewhentheymadethetrip.Testingnonhumanmemorykeepingischallenginginresearchstudies.“It’srarethatthereisagapofseveralyearsbetweenwhenananimalstorestheinformationandwhenitisnextrequiredtogetitback,”saysDoraBiro,azoologistattheUniversityofOxford.Inarecentstudy,Biroandhercolleaguescompareddomestichoming

6.such→so7.out去掉8.robots→robot9.amazing→amazed10.What→How【解析】【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了作者在餐馆遇见机器人的事情。【详解】1.考查时态。句意：今天早上，我在网上看了一段视频，视频显示一个机器人在图书馆里。结合Thismorning可知，事情发生在过去，故句子用一般过去时。动词应为过去式watched。故watch改为watched。2.考查定语从句。句意：这听起来像一个女孩，她与人类的对话很有趣，但很愉快。分析句子结构可知，逗号后为定语从句，修饰先行词girl，且dialogues前缺少定语，故填whose，引导定语从句。故which改为whose。3.考查连词。句意：这听起来像一个女孩，她与人类的对话很有趣，但很愉快。interesting“有趣的”和pleasant“令人愉快的”是并列的，没有转折关系，应用连词and连接。故but改为and。4.考查非谓语动词。句意：下午，我去了一家餐厅，在那里我碰巧遇到了一个工作机器人，它看起来和我早上在网上看到的有点不同。分析句子结构可知，where引导的定语从句中谓语为happened，故look应为非谓语动词，且look“看起来”无被动，故应为现在分词looking，作定语，修饰workingrobot。故looked改为looking。5.考查冠词。句意：下午，我去了一家餐厅，在那里我碰巧遇到了一个工作机器人，它看起来和我早上在网上看到的有点不同。one代指机器人，此处是特指早晨在网上看到的机器人，故one前应加定冠词the，表示特指。故one前加the。6.考查副词。句意：我说：“你好，你如此聪明！”修饰形容词smart“聪明的”，应为副词so“如此”，而such修饰名词。故such改为so。7.考查固定用法。句意：当我离开时，我问门口的店员关于那个机器人的事。leaveout表示“遗漏，省去”，这里表示“我离开了”，leave是离开的意思。故去掉out。8.考查名词。句意：当我离开时，我问门口的店员关于那个机器人的事。此处“机器人”指的是和作者对话的机器人，且由下文的“It’soffdutynow.”也可判断，本句中的“机器人”为单数形式。故robots改为robot。9.考查形容词。句意：我很惊讶它能像人类一样工作。形容词amazing“令人惊叹的”，通常修饰物；形容词amazed“吃惊的”，通常修饰人。本句主语是I“我”，形容人应为amazed，作表语。故amazing改为 amazed。10.考查感叹句。句意：多么有趣啊！在感叹句中what修饰名词；而how为副词，修饰形容词或副词；所以本题修饰形容词interesting，要用How。故What改为How。第二节书面表达(满分25分)52.你所在的英语俱乐部正在开展以“OurFamily,OurLove”为主题的演讲比赛。你打算参赛，请写一篇演讲稿，内容包括：1.你对家庭的理解；2.如何维持和谐的家庭关系。注意：1词数100左右；2.开头和结尾已为你写好。__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】Hello,everyone.I’mhonoredtosharewithyouthespeech“OurFamily,OurLove”.Inmyview,familiescomeinallshapesandsizes,buttheyallshareonethingincommon:love.Astrongfamilybondcanprovideasenseofsecurity,supportandbelonging,whichareessentialforourwell-being.However,maintainingaharmoniousrelationshipbetweenfamilymemberscanbechallenging,especiallyintoday’sfast-pacedworld.Wecantrysomeways.First,itisimportantforfamilymemberstocommunicateeffectively,showappreciationandrespecteachother’sdifferences.Besides,spendingqualitytimetogether,suchassharingmealsorengaginginactivities,canalsostrengthenourfamilybonds.Inaword,lovecanbringourfamilyclosertogetherandliveinharmony.Thanksforlistening.【解析】【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生对于你所在的英语俱乐部正在开展以“OurFamily,OurLove”为主题的演讲比赛这一情况，写一篇演讲稿。【详解】1.词汇积累荣幸的：honored→privileged
