The local authorities want it to be populated and attractive. You can buy a small house in the industrial district for just $1. The buyer is supposed to live in this house for 3 years.‎ Buffalo. USA Buffalo offers whoever qualifies to buy a house for $1. All you need is to be a lawful citizen of the city and invest amount of money into its decoration. Doing this, the authorities are hoping to make the city beautiful again without spending money.‎ Liverpool, Great Britain In Liverpool, most of houses were abandoned by the working class during the years of unemployment. The government is trying to sell the houses for just $1. If you want to buy such a house, it has to be your first deal on buying property (不动产).‎ Candela, Italy If you still have any doubts about spending SI on a house, you should know: the government will pay you some money, if you move to Candela. In order to be paid, you need to become a permanent citizen and have an income of $7500 per year. If moving a, ne, you will get S800, and if you are going with your family, the pay can be four times as much as only one person.‎ For more information of other cities, please Click Here.‎ ‎1. Why do the authorities of Buffalo provide a house for people with 1$?‎ A. To improve the lives of poor people.‎ B. To make the city attractive at no cost.‎ C. To solve the problems of employment.‎ D. To attract people to the industrial areas.‎ ‎2. What is required to buy a house for 1 dollar in Liverpool?‎ A. You need to be an unemployed citizen.‎ B. You should live in the house for 3 years.‎ C. You must make the first house purchase.‎ D. You have to repair and decorate the house.‎ ‎3. How much money can you get if moving to Candela with a whole family?‎ A. $3200 B. $1‎ C. $800 D. $7500‎ ‎4. Where does this passage come from?‎ A. a textbook B. a magazine.‎ C. the Internet. D. an announcement.‎ ‎【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 4. C ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇应用文。Bright Side在全世界很多地方做了一些研究，向读者介绍了在哪些地方可以用1美元买房子或免费获得房子。‎ ‎【1题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由Buffalo. USA 中的“ Doing this, the authorities are hoping to make the city beautiful again without spending money.”可知，当地政府这样做，希望不用花钱就能让这座城市再次变得美丽。所以为什么Buffalo当地政府会为那些只有1美元的人提供房子的目的是不花一分钱就让这座城市变得有吸引力。故B选项正确。‎ ‎2题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由Liverpool, Great Britain中的“ If you want to buy such a house, it has to be your first deal on buying property (不动产)”可知，如果你想买这样的房子，它必须是你第一次购买的不动产。所以在Liverpool ‎ 1美元买一套房子，需要你必须是第一次买房。故C选项正确。‎ ‎【3题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由Candela, Italy “If moving to Candela，you will get S800, and if you are going with your family, the pay can be four times as much as only one person ”可知，如果你搬到Candela，你会得到800英镑，如果你和全家人一起去，得到的钱数是一个人的四倍。所以如果你和全家搬到Candela，你能得到的是$800x4=$3200。故A选项正确。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 推理判断题。由最后段“For more information of other cities, please Click Here.”可知，有关其它城市的详细信息，请单击此处。所以通过关键词“click”可以判断出，这篇短文来自于因特网。故C选项正确。‎ B When the tornado(龙卷风) passed, Lewis returned to her house after that awful night, and the Bible was the first thing she looked for. She had bought it 35 years earlier, at the start of her marriage. Like many folks, she’d used it to preserve the family’s history: decades-old photos, newspaper obituaries(讣告) of loved ones, a handkerchief from her great-grandmother, even a piece of a scarf her uncle had brought back from the Korean War.‎ The Bible was not where she’d last seen it, on top of an antique dresser in her bedroom. The only thing left was the solid pieces of marble that had been on the top of the furniture. After an hour of searching, one of the volunteers ran up to her and found the Bible while clearing through ruins. She had tears streaming down her cheeks. It had flown about ten feet from the dresser. Surprisingly, while many books had been destroyed beyond recognition, the Bible was still intact, even though it had sat in the rain for days. “It was a miracle,” says Lewis.‎ A few of the Bible’s treasures did go missing. Yet ever so slowly, they, too, began reappearing in Lewis’s life. Days after the Bible was found, volunteers discovered one of the newspaper obituaries outside the home. Two weeks later, a neighbor found another newspaper clipping（剪辑） by her house. “It was a shock,” says Lewis.‎ Now the Bible already has its well-deserved place of honor, on the dresser. She knows that while every good book tells stories of disastrous weather and unlikely survival, this one actually lived it.‎ ‎5. What does the underlined word “intact” probably refer to?‎ A. Unfolded B. New C. Undamaged D. fragile ‎6. Why was the Bible the first thing to look for?‎ A. It is a book telling good stories.‎ B. It was a valuable gift at her marriage.‎ C. It records her family’s trees and history.‎ D. It keeps things recalling family’s stories.‎ ‎7. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. The Bible Beats a Tornado B. The Bible Blesses Lewises C. Antique Treasures Are Never Gone D. Family Treasures Are Along With US ‎【答案】5. C 6. D 7. A ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文为记叙文。主要介绍了一次龙卷风过后，主人公Lewis在志愿者们的帮助之下寻找对于自己来说至关重要的《圣经》以及其中夹杂的一些有纪念意义的照片，讣告，手帕，围巾等物件，最后更加突出了这本圣经对于这次龙卷风的记录意义。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据文章第2段第五句Surprisingly, while many books had been destroyed beyond recognition, the Bible was still intact, even though it had sat in the rain for days.可知许多书被毁得面目全非，句中的while放在句首，引导让步状语从句，表达转折含义，因此，后半句可以理解为圣经没有遭到毁坏。故选C项。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第1段第2句至段末She had bought it 35 years earlier, at the start of her marriage. Like many folks, she’d used it to preserve the family’s ‎ history: decades-old photos, newspaper obituaries(讣告) of loved ones, a handkerchief from her great-grandmother, even a piece of a scarf her uncle had brought back from the Korean War.她是在35年前结婚的时候买的这本圣经。像许多人一样,她用它来保全家庭的历史:几十年的照片,报纸讣告(讣告)所爱的人,从她的曾祖母一块手帕,甚至一块围巾她叔叔带回来了朝鲜战争。可知这本圣经对于她来说意义非凡，充满记忆。故选D项。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段Now the Bible already has its well-deserved place of honor, on the dresser. She knows that while every good book tells stories of disastrous weather and unlikely survival, this one actually lived it. 可知《圣经》已经获得了它当之无愧的荣誉地位—在梳妆台上。她知道，虽然每一本好书都讲述了灾难性的天气和不太可能的生存故事，但这本书却却幸存了下来。文章末段点明主旨，突出主题。所以短文的最佳标题是“圣经战胜了龙卷风”。故选A项。‎ ‎【点睛】词义猜测题的命题特点是考查根据上下文推测生词和短语的能力,突出考查对语境的分析和把握的能力。有些时候可以利用反义关系推测语义。有些生词的后面往往会出现一个或几个反义词，或者表转折意义的连词，词组等，抓住这些可以帮助我们推断生词语义。标志词有 although, but, however, whereas（反之）,nevertheless（然而，不过），on the contrary, in contrast（相对）, on the one hand, on the other hand, for one thing, for another, instead（of）, rather than while 引导的让步状语从句等。‎ 比如文章第1题，属于词义猜测题。‎ ‎1. What does the underlined word “intact” probably refer to?‎ A. Unfolded B. New C. Undamaged D. fragile 此题划线单词在文章第二段第五句中Surprisingly, while many books had been destroyed beyond recognition, the Bible was still intact, even though it had sat in the rain for days. 含有while引导的让步状语从句，可以理解为与主句为反义关系，while句中提及的书籍已经被龙卷风破坏的面目全非，因此，主句中提及圣经时用到的intact可以理解为完好无损，即未被损坏。故C项正确。‎ C You can’t see your sleeping pets brain waves, but its behavior can tell you when your cat might be dreaming. If you watch closely, you’ll see that as she falls asleep,‎ ‎ her breathing becomes slow and regular with her body still. She has entered the first stage of sleep, called slow-wave sleep. After about 15 minutes you’ll notice a change in her breathing. Her eyes move under her closed lids, her paws twitch (抽动) and she flicks (尤指用手指或手快速地轻抚) an ear. She has entered dreaming. Although she twitches and makes little grunting (嘟嘟) noises, messages from her brain to the large muscles in her legs are blocked, so she can’t run about. She is in a state of “sleep paralysis (麻痹)”.‎ Michel Jouvet, a French scientist, interrupted their sleep paralysis. Even though they were completely asleep, the dreaming cats began to run for balls that Jouvet couldn’t see and arched (弓起) their backs at unseen enemies. He figures he was watching them act out their dreams! Obviously, the dreaming cats seemed to be practising important cat skills: following, pouncing (猛扑), and fighting.‎ In another study, Matt Wilson recorded rats brain waves while they learned mazes (迷宫). One day, he left the brain-wave-recording machine on while the rats fell asleep. The pattern of brain waves in the sleeping rats matched the pattern from the maze so closely that Wilson could figure out exactly which part of the maze each rat was dreaming about!‎ Many researchers now think that in both people and animals, one purpose of dreams is to practise important skills and figure out recent caning. This may explain why so many people dream about fighting and escaping, skills that were probably important to our ancestors, and why dreaming affects our ability to learn.‎ Do all animals dream? From looking at the brain waves of sleeping animals. How often animals dream seems to be tied to body size. Cats dream about every 15 minutes, mice every 9 minutes, and elephants every 2 hours. And though cows and horses usually sleep standing up, they only dream when lying down.‎ ‎8. What does Michel Jouvet find in his study?‎ A. The dreaming cats are in a state of body paralysis.‎ B. The dreaming cats often practise their important skills.‎ C. The eyes of dreaming cats moved while bodies are still.‎ D. The muscles of the dreaming cats are blocked to move.‎ ‎9. What can you know about dreaming from the passage?‎ A. Dreaming a lot can help humans learn more.‎ B. Learning mazes is the basic skill for cats to learn.‎ C. Rats often dreams to make certain their recent learning D. Fighting and escaping are not important skills for ancestors.‎ ‎10. Which animal may dream most frequently?‎ A. Rats. B. Dogs.‎ C. Cows. D. Elephants ‎11. How does the author develop his passage?‎ A. By making comparisons. B. By using figures C. By telling stories D. By showing facts ‎【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。研究表明对人和动物来说，做梦的一个目的是练习重要的技能,弄清楚最近所学的东西。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由第二段“Obviously, the dreaming cats seemed to be practising important cat skills: following, pouncing (猛扑), and fighting.”可知，显然，做梦的猫似乎在练习重要的猫技能:跟随、猛扑，还有打架。所以Michel Jouvet在他的研究中发现,做梦的猫经常会练习它们所学的重要技能。故B选项正确。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 推理判断题。由第四段“Many researchers now think that in both people and animals, one purpose of dreams is to practise important skills and figure out recent learning”许多研究人员现在认为，对人和动物来说，做梦的一个目的是练习重要的技能，弄清楚最近所学的东西。老鼠是动物的一种，所以判断出，老鼠经常做梦目的是清楚它们最近所学的东西。故C选项正确。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由第五段“Cats dream about every 15 minutes, mice every 9 minutes, and elephants every 2‎ ‎ hours”可知，猫每15分钟做梦一次，老鼠每9分钟做梦一次，大象每2小时做梦一次。通过对动物做梦频率的对比，可以看出老鼠做梦最频繁。故A选项正确。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 推理判断题。由第二段“Michel Jouvet, a French scientist, interrupted their sleep paralysis. Even though they were completely asleep, the dreaming cats began to run for balls that Jouvet couldn’t see and arched (弓起) their backs at unseen enemies. He figures he was watching them act out their dreams! Obviously, the dreaming cats seemed to be practising important cat skills: following, pouncing (猛扑), and fighting.”第三段“In another study, Matt Wilson recorded rats brain waves while they learned mazes (迷宫). One day, he left the brain-wave-recording machine on while the rats fell asleep. The pattern of brain waves in the sleeping rats matched the pattern from the maze so closely that Wilson could figure out exactly which part of the maze each rat was dreaming about!以及最后段“. Cats dream about every 15 minutes, mice every 9 minutes, and elephants every 2 hours. ”可知，法国科学家米歇尔·茹维特打断了他们的睡眠瘫痪。即使它们完全睡着了，做梦的猫也开始跑向朱维特所看不见的球，并拱起他们的背对着看不见的敌人。他想他是在看它们表演他们的梦！显然，做梦的猫似乎在练习重要的猫技能:跟随、扑向，还有打架。在另一项研究中，马特·威尔逊记录了老鼠学习迷宫时的脑电波。一天，当老鼠睡着的时候，他把脑波记录仪开着。睡眠中老鼠的脑电波模式与迷宫中的模式非常接近，以至于威尔逊能够准确地找出每只老鼠梦到了迷宫的哪个部分。猫每15分钟做梦一次，老鼠每9分钟做梦一次，大象每2小时做梦一次！。所以每个研究所得出的结论，以及对问题的回答都是基于事实。故判断出作者通过展示事实来展开短文的。故D选项正确。‎ ‎【点睛】根据事物的定义或者对事物总体的概括，从而判断出哪些具体事物或者具体的实践应该属于定义的范围或者是概括的范围是我们经常见到的推理判断题的题型。要解决这样的判断题，首先要讲对事物的定义或者对事物的总体概括要读清楚，然后根据对比4个选项，哪个选项在定义或者概括范围内的。哪个就是正确的答案。‎ 由第四段“Many researchers now think that in both people and animals, one purpose of dreams is to practise important skills and figure out recent caning. ”许多研究人员现在认为，对人和动物来说，做梦的一个目的是练习重要的技能，弄清它们最近所学的东西。老鼠是动物的一种，所以判断出，老鼠经常做梦来弄清它们最近所学的东西。故小题2的正确选项为C选项。‎ D Nowadays six Amazon Scout delivery robots rolled out in a pilot program in Snohomish County, Wash. The robots carry meals, groceries and packages to homes and offices in this region just north of Seattle. They have appeared on the sidewalks of London, Beijing and other cities and communities worldwide. These machines must overcome pedestrian legs, naughty dogs and broken pavement, which raises some questions.‎ These services are gaining attraction as a growing number of city residents expect immediate or scheduled delivery for just about everything. Between 2017 and 2018 online retail sales in the U.S. increased by 16 percent. On the final step of all these deliveries, called the last mile, humans on bicycles, motorized scooters ( 电动车) or large delivery trucks typically deliver packages. All the vehicles compete for space on busy urban streets. “Deliveries are trending upwards in all crowded city centers, and if city and state leaders don’t start thinking about creative solutions like robot deliveries, we can expect even worse traffic jams,” says Paul Mackie, director of a transportation policy research center in Arlington.‎ A study by this center found 73 percent of delivery vehicles in Arlington were parked outside of authorized areas, often blocking bike lanes and crosswalks. By moving the last step of deliveries from the road to the sidewalk, cities could reduce traffic jams and solve the parking problem entirely, Mackie says.‎ Companies such as Amazon are not developing this delivery technology simply to clear up urban traffic. Self-driving vehicles and sidewalk robots could cut down last-mile delivery costs in cities by as much as 40 percent, according to a 2018 report by a consultancy firm. A delivery robot can cost thousands of dollars to manufacture, and most currently require human management and conservation. But in the long run companies that use autonomous delivery vehicles in the next several years could end up saving billions of dollars, the report stated.‎ ‎12. Why does Amazon introduce delivery robots ?‎ A. To amuse its customers.‎ B. To avoid pedestrians, dogs and broken pavement.‎ C. To meet the increasing demand of delivering packages.‎ D. To confirm the company’s innovation spirit.‎ ‎13. What does Paul Mackie mean by his words in paragraph 2?‎ A. Retail sales in the U.S. increased fast.‎ B. Deliveries stay steady in all crowded city centers.‎ C. Regardless of robot deliveries, traffic jams will remain the same.‎ D. Robot can help ease the traffic pressure.‎ ‎14. What can robots delivery bring to the city?‎ A. Block bike lanes and crosswalks.‎ B. Relieve urban traffic as well as save delivery costs.‎ C. Increase danger to pedestrians.‎ D. Lead to traffic traffic jams.‎ ‎15. Which word can best describe the future of the robot delivery?‎ A. Uncertain. B. Hopeless. C. Promising. D. Unacceptable.‎ ‎【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇科普类短文阅读。文章主要介绍亚马逊引进送货机器人以帮助缓解交通压力，节约配送成本。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章第二段These services are gaining attraction as a growing number of city residents expect immediate or scheduled delivery for just about everything.可知，随着越来越多的城市居民希望几乎所有东西都能立即或按计划交付，这些服务越来越有吸引力，从而可以推断出，亚马逊要引入送货机器人其目的是以满足日益增长的包裹投递需求。故选C。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第二段Deliveries are trending upwards in all crowded city centers, and if city and state leaders don’t start thinking about creative solutions like robot deliveries, we can expect even worse traffic jams Paul ‎ Mackie认为，在所有拥挤的市中心，快递呈上升趋势，如果城市和州领导人不开始考虑机器人快递等创造性的解决方案，我们可能会面临更严重的交通堵塞。可知，机器人可以帮助缓解交通压力。故选D。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段Companies such as Amazon are not developing this delivery technology simply to clear up urban traffic. Self-driving vehicles and sidewalk robots could cut down last-mile delivery costs in cities by as much as 40 percent, according to a 2018 report by a consultancy firm.和But in the long run companies that use autonomous delivery vehicles in the next several years could end up saving billions of dollars可知，机器人送货缓解城市交通，节约配送成本。故选B。‎ ‎15题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段及最后一句But in the long run companies that use autonomous delivery vehicles in the next several years could end up saving billions of dollars, the report stated. 从长远来看，未来几年使用自动送货车的公司最终可能节省数十亿美元，可以推断，送货机器人有广泛的前景。故选C。‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Moving into a new home in a new neighborhood is an exciting experience.

We were enjoying the fantastic scenery around while I noticed anything unpleasant happening. A young couple were taking some photo on the grass. The man was shouting excitedly, "How beautiful!" They completely forgot what they should bear in mind when travelling or ignored the sign say “ Keep off the grass ". What shame! Such behavior left me deep on thought. If all visitors to the People's Park do as the couple did so, the park will be severe damaged and become messy.‎ ‎【答案】1. visit—visited ‎2. while—when ‎3.anything —something ‎4. photo—photos ‎5. or—and ‎6. say—saying ‎7. 加a shame ‎8. on---in 9. 去掉so ‎10. severe---severely ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文为记叙文。主要介绍了作者一次旅游时见到的不文明旅游现象及作者的对此现象的感慨。‎ ‎【详解】1. 考查时态。句意：上周末，我和我的父母去了人民公园。Last weekend 为过去时间，句子应为一般过去时。故将visit 改为visited。 ‎ ‎2. 考查连词。句意：当我注意到有什么不愉快的事情发生时，我们正在欣赏周围奇异的景色。while引导时间状语从句时，从句谓语动词应为延续性动词，when引导的时间状语从句谓语动词既可以是延续性也可是非延续性。此句中notice为非延续性动词。故将while改为when。‎ ‎3. 考查复合不定代词。句意：当我注意到有什么不愉快的事情发生时，我们正在欣赏周围奇异的景色。此句为肯定句，故将anything改为something。‎ ‎4. 考查名词。句意：一对年轻的夫妇正在草地上拍照。photo为可数名词，之前有some 修饰，应用复数形式。故将photo改为photos。‎ ‎5. 考查连词。句意：他们完全忘记了旅行时应该记住什么而且忽视了“请勿践踏草坪”的标志。前后句为并列结构递进关系，or 为选择关系。故将or 改为and。‎ ‎6. 考查非谓语动词。句意：他们完全忘记了旅行时应该记住什么而且忽视了“请勿践踏草坪”的标志。句中已有并列谓语动词forgot 和ignored, 动词say位于名词sign之后，作其后置定语，与所修饰词为主动关系，故将say 改为saying。‎ ‎7. 考查冠词。句意：真丢脸！shame 为抽象名称，通常被看作为不可数名词，但在此句中只具体事件，即这对夫妇的不文明旅游现象。不可数名词具体化时要在之前加不定冠词。且shame首字母的发音为辅音音素。故在shame前加a。 ‎ ‎8. 考查介词。句意：这种行为使我深思。deep in thought 意为“深思”，是固定短语。故将on改为in。‎ ‎9. 考查状语从句。句意：如果所有去人民公园的游客都像这对夫妇那样做的话。此句含有as引导的方式状语从句as the couple did。as在引导方式状语从句中不做任何成分,as sb. do/did中的do/did是代替上文中的动词，它不是及物动词, 所以这个 do/did 无需宾语，此句中的so多余。故将so删掉。‎ ‎10. 考查副词。句意：公园将严重受损，变得一片混乱。修饰动词damage用副词形式。故将severe改为severely。‎ ‎【点睛】抽象名词在某种场合表示具体意义，这时一般可数，如：‎ ‎　　She had great beauty in her youth. 她年轻的时候非常美丽。‎ ‎　　She was a beauty in her youth. 她年轻的时候是个美人。‎ ‎　　beauty表示“美丽”是抽象概念，而句2中beauty表示具体的一个美人，是可数名词。‎ 本道题目中的第七处错误：What shame! 中shame表示文中提到的具体不文明旅游行为，视为可数名词。故在shame前加不定冠词a。‎ 书面表达(满分25分)‎ ‎72.假设你是李华，即将去澳大利亚一所学校短期交流，被安排住在Eric先生家，请你写封电子邮件与他联系并询问以下情况：‎ ‎1. 住宿条件；2. 膳食安排；3. 交通情况。‎ I am Li Hua, a student from China.‎ ‎_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ Yours sincerely,‎ Li Hua ‎【答案】Dear Eric,‎ I am Li Hua, a student from China.
