What makes the twin sisters’ achievement more remarkable is the fact that both of them returned from giving birth to baby daughters to do so.‎ ‎"I’ve been their coach for over 20 years," said Ms Zheng. Women’s Duet coach, "ever since they were 8 years old. When they came back after having babies, their training plans were completely changed. I think they have already showed that female athletes can return to their best form after having a baby. "‎ The twin sisters announced their retirement after finishing a third at the 2013 China National Games. They went on to get married on the same day and their baby daughters arrived in 2015 and 2016. And after a three-year absence, the twins decided to come back to the pool.‎ ‎"I think to reach a mature state in artistic swimming, athletes have to go through years of training. What keeps us going is our love of the sport," said one of them.‎ The 31-year-old twins won a well-deserved gold at the 2017 China National Games. At the third Asian Games, they claimed their sixth gold at the multi-sports meet to be a record in artistic swimming at the Games, and a result their coach wasn’t sure could happen when they first decided to come back.‎ ‎"Because of our love of the sport, we overcame many hard times, especially the physical obstacles.

C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇新闻报道。中国花样游泳运动员江女士和她的双胞胎妹妹在亚运会上赢得了第六枚金牌，这是花样游泳历史上运动员赢得奖杯最多的一次。让人不可思议的是她们都是生完宝宝后重回体坛，她们的成就证明了生育后运动员仍可以达到她们最好的水平。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由第一段中的What makes the twin sisters’ achievement more remarkable is the fact that both of them returned from giving birth to baby daughters to do so（使得这对双胞胎的成绩更加引人注目的原因是她们都是刚生完宝宝回来游泳）可知，她们的成绩很令人惊奇的原因是她们都是刚生完宝宝回来。故选D。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 推理判断题。由第五段中的At the third Asian Games, they claimed their sixth gold at the multi-sports meet to be a record in artistic swimming at the Games, and a result their coach wasn’t ‎ sure could happen when they first decided to come back（在第三届亚运会上，她们在多项目比赛中获得了第六枚金牌，成为了亚运会上花样游泳比赛的一个记录，当她们刚决定回来时，她们的教练没有想到会有这个结果）可知，她们的教练对她们的这个成绩是预想不到的，不敢相信的。A. Skeptical持怀疑态度的；B. Determined确定的；C. Confident自信的；D. Unclear不清楚的。故选A。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 推理判断题。由第五段内容I think to reach a mature state in artistic swimming, athletes have to go through years of training. What keeps us going is our love of the sport（我认为在花样游泳上达到一个成熟的状态，运动员不得不经历多年的训练。让我们继续前行的是我们对运动的热爱）、第七段中的Because of our love of the sport, we overcame many hard times, especially the physical obstacles. After all, we’re no longer young. But now I think we are even better than before（因为对运动的热爱，我们克服了很多困难的时刻，特别是身体上的障碍。毕竟我们不再年轻了，但是我认为我们比之前甚至更好了）以及她们所取得的成就，可知，只要意志坚定，没有什么事情是困难的。故选D。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 推理判断题。由文章第一段中的“China’s artistic swimming duoMs Jiang and her twin sister made history on Tuesday…”中的时间可知，这篇文章是一篇体育新闻报道。A. A sports textbook体育教科书；B. A research paper研究论文；C. A news report新闻报道；D. A sports brochure体育小册子。故选C。‎ ‎【点睛】文章来源的推断题在高中英语中常见。主要有根据文体和题材特点推断文章来源或根据文章内容和结构推断文章来源。例如如果文中出现日期、地点或通讯社名称，我们可以推知文章来自于报纸，如果文中出现网络用词（click 点击；online在线；web网络等）可以推知文章来自于网站，例如本篇文章中的第四题就属于推断文章来源题目，由文章第一段首句中的日期（on Tuesday），可以推知这篇文章是一篇新闻报道，因为如果不是新闻报道最新发生的事情，时间都应该写具体的时间或日期。这类题目同学们多积累这些文体特点与词汇，特别是还要积累选项中的词汇（避免下次选项不认识），解题准确度会提升很多。‎ ‎(C)‎ Something’s happening at the lowest point on our planet.‎ The Dead Sea, a salt lake bordered by Jordan to the east and Israel and Palestine to the west, is shrinking at an alarming rate - about 3. 3 feet per year, according to the environmentalist group Eco ‎ Peace Middle East. And human actions are largely to blame.‎ ‎"It's not just like one country is punishing the Dead Sea: it's more like the whole area,” said photographer Moritz Kustner, who visited the area in February to work on his series "The Dying Dead Sea”.‎ The Dead Sea needs water from the other natural sources surrounding it, such as the Jordan River basin. But around the 1960s, some of the water sources it relied upon were diverted. Israel, for instance, built a pipeline during that time so it could supply water throughout the country.‎ Mineral extraction industries are another main reason the water levels are falling experts say. The Dead Sea's minerals have been used as medicine and can often be found in cosmetics and other consumer products.‎ And then, of course, there's the Middle East's hot, dry climate, which makes it difficult for the lake to replenish itself. Last year, Israel and Jordan signed a $900 million deal in an effort to keep the Dead Sea's water levels stable. It includes building a canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea which would be able to not only supply water to Israel and Jordan but also to pump water into the Dead Sea.‎ But for now, Kustner shows us that the Dead Sea remains very much a place of interest, with people from all over the world going there to swim in its salty waters The Dead Sea, known as the Salt Sea in the language of Hebrew, is one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world. And because of what has been happening over the years, the salt is only getting saltier.‎ ‎8. How many reasons for the Dead Seas shrinking does the author mention in the text?‎ A One B. Two C. Three D. Four ‎9. What can we learn about the Dead Sea 's minerals?‎ A. They have practical value.‎ B. They are controlled by Israel.‎ C. They can be extracted very easily.‎ D. They are mainly used in heavy industry.‎ ‎10. What does the underlined word "replenish” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?‎ A. To clean something. B. To improve something.‎ C. To fill something again. D. To find something again.‎ ‎11. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. What we should do to save the Dead Sea. B. More people travel to the Dead Sea.‎ C. Why the Dead Sea is salty. D. The Dead Sea is drying out.‎ ‎【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲了死海，位于约旦和以色列交界，它是世界上最咸的湖，由于人为的原因，这里的水位正在以惊人的速度下降。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由But around the 1960s, some of the water sources it relied on were diverted.可知，上世纪60年代，死海赖以生存的部分流域被改道，这是死海萎缩的原因之一；由Mineral extraction industries are another main reason the water levels are falling，experts say. The Dead Sea's minerals have been used as medicine and can often be found in cosmetics and other consumer products可知专家表示，矿物开采是死海水位下降又一主因。死海中富含的矿物因其良好的疗效而受到欢迎，常被添加在护肤品以及其它消费品上，这是死海萎缩的原因之二；由And then, of course, there’s the Middle East’s hot, dry climate, which makes it difficult for the lake to replenish itself.可知中东炎热的天气，干燥的气候，也使得死海很难能够重新积蓄水分，这是死海萎缩的原因之三。故选C。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 推理判断题。由第五段中的Mineral extraction industries are another main reason the water levels are falling, experts say. The Dead Sea’s minerals have been used as medicine and can often be found in cosmetics and other consumer products（矿物开采是死海水位下降又一主因。死海中富含的矿物因其良好的疗效而受到欢迎，常被添加在护肤品以及其它消费品上。）由此推断出死海的矿物质有实用价值，故选A。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。上文提到了死海萎缩的几个原因，所以这里意思是：此外，中东炎热的天气，干燥的气候，也使得死海很难能够重新积蕃水分。由划线单词所在句子的下句话：Last year, Israel and Jordan signed a $900 million deal in an effort to keep the Dead Sea's water levels stable（去年，以色列和约旦签署了9亿美金的生意，试图保持死海的水位保持稳定）也可推知，划线句句意是强调死海的自我修复功能。所以“replenish”的意思是再加满，故选C。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。由文章第一段和第二段中的Something’s happening at the lowest point on our planet. The Dead Sea, a salt lake bordered by Jordan to the east and Israel and Palestine to the west, is shrinking at an alarming rate（在地球的最低点有事情在发生。位于约旦和以色列交界，世界上最咸的湖死海，正在以惊人的萎缩）可知，这篇文章主要讲死海的萎缩、枯萎。故选D。‎ ‎【点睛】主旨大意题是篇章阅读一个主要的考查方式，标题题（best title）是其一个典型的考点，也是高考阅读中每年的必考题。主旨大意题解题技巧是不要被文章细节所干扰。一般有两种方式解题：一是看首尾段，根据首尾段内容总结主题思想；二是看每段段首句，根据所有段首句总结主题思想。本文中第四题就是此类的主旨大意题，由于这是一篇说明文，文章开头就给我们点明了本文想要讲述的话题。所以由文章第一段和第二段中的内容可知，这篇文章主要讲死海的萎缩、枯萎。具体的解题步骤参看详解。同学们要抓住说明文标题题的这个技巧。‎ ‎(D)‎ Stephen Hawking was both one of the world's most famous scientists and most famous disabled people. His life was a juxtaposition of sparkling intellect and failing body. Prof Hawking was diagnosed with a rare form of motor neurone(运动神经元) diseases when he was 21.‎ The nerves that controlled his muscles were failing and he became trapped in his body, but his mind was still free. He reached the height of his field while being a wheelchair user.‎ Professor Hawking certainly raised awareness of motor neurone diseases. One of his major contributions to disability in general was simply being visible---often at a time when disabled voices were missing from popular culture. He made small-screen appearances on The Simpsons, Star Trek and The Big Bang Theory. His life was dramatised (将…改成剧本)by the BBC and in the film The Theory of Everything.‎ Steve Bell, from the MND association, said: "He was probably the most famous person with a physical disability and it almost normalises it to see his absolute genius. I think it affected a lot of people, seeing he's more than a trapped body. The public's view of disability has changed.‎ But Prof Hawking’s life was exceptional. He lived five decades longer than doctors expected. Many others with motor neurone diseases die in the years after diagnosis. He was a theoretical physicist. His laboratory was in the mind; his scientific equipment was mathematics.‎ Prof Hawking was able to continue to pursue his career in a way that would have been much ‎ harder in other scientific disciplines and impossible in many other professions. It remains an open question how much he would have achieved if he was disabled from birth rather than after graduating with a first at Oxford. Today, disabled people are more than twice as likely to be unemployed than people without disability. Prof Hawking 's only advice on disability was to focus on what could be achieved. "My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn’t prevent you doing well, and don 't regret the things it interferes with. Don't be disabled in spirit, as well as physically,” he said in an interview with the New York Times.‎ ‎12. What does the underlined word juxtaposition in Paragraph 1 mean?‎ A. Combination. B. Trouble.‎ C. Difficulty. D. Mess.‎ ‎13. How did Hawking raise awareness of motor neurone diseases?‎ A. By trying not to get trapped by the disease.‎ B. By making the voice of the disabled heard.‎ C. By making people be used to the small screen.‎ D. By working for the BBC and film companies.‎ ‎14. What did Steve Bell think of Hawking?‎ A. He was the most well-known person.‎ B. He was affected greatly by many people.‎ C. He changed people's view of disabled people.‎ D. His physical disability affected his mind.‎ ‎15. What's Hawking’ s tip to disabled people?‎ A. Try to find a job and don't be unemployed.‎ B. Don't ignore your health.‎ C. Stick to the goals that you can reach.‎ D. Don’t think you are physically disabled.‎ ‎【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. C ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。介绍了著名的科学家史蒂芬·霍金。他从20岁的时候就得了很严重的病，医生说他只能活两年多，但是他迹般地活了下来。随后凭借他强的毅力与聪明才智在科学界获得了一个又一个的辉煌。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。由第二段中的He reached the height of his field while being a wheelchair user（他是一个使用轮椅的残疾人，同时还达到了他所从事领域的最高高度）可知，霍金是聪明才智与无法行动的身体的结合。A. Combination组合；B. Trouble麻烦；C. Difficulty困难；D. Mess一团糟。故选A。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 推理判断题。由文中的One of his major contributions to disability in general was simply being visible---often at a time when disabled voices were missing from popular culture（他对残疾的主要贡献之一就是简单地被注意到---曾有一段时间残疾人的声音在流行文化中是消失的）可知，霍金通过让残疾人的声音被听到来提高大家对运动神经元疾病的意识。故选B。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由题干中的Steve Bell可将本题答案定位在第四段。由其中的I think it affected a lot of people, seeing he's more than a trapped body. The public's view of disability has changed（我认为它影响了很多人，人们看霍金不仅仅看到他是残疾人。大众对于残疾人的看法改变了）可知，Steve Bell认为霍金改变了人们对残疾人的看法。故选C。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由最后一段中的Prof Hawking’s only advice on disability was to focus on what could be achieved（霍金教授对残疾人唯一的忠告就是集中在能达到的事情上）可知，霍金建议残疾人坚持你能达到的目标。故选C。‎ 第二节 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。（共5小题，每题2分，满分10分）‎ What Is Emotional Eating?‎ Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of satisfying hunger.______16______Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing for a big test? But when done a lot — especially without realizing it — emotional eating can affect weight, health, and overall well-being.‎ Not many of us make the connection between eating and our feelings.‎ ‎___17___One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it’s caused by negative feelings. Yes, people often turn to food when they’re stressed out, lonely, sad, anxious, or bored. But emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too, like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine’s Day or ‎ the celebration of a holiday feast. Sometimes emotional eating is tied to major life events, like a death or a divorce. ___18___‎ Emotional eating patterns can be learned: A child who is given candy after a big achievement may grow up using candy as a reward for a job well done. _____19_____It’s not easy to “unlearn” patterns of emotional eating. But it is possible. And it starts with an awareness of what’s going on.‎ We’re all emotional eaters to a degree. But for some people emotional eating can be a real problem, causing serious weight gain or other problems. The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone, the feelings that cause it remain. _____20_____That’s why it helps to know the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger.‎ Next time you reach for a snack, wait and think about which type of hunger is driving it.‎ A. Believe it or not, we’ve all been there.‎ B. If a crying boy gets some cookies, he may link cookies with comfort.‎ C. One study found that people who eat food like pizza become happy afterwards.‎ D. And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like.‎ E. Understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it.‎ F. Boys seem to prefer hot, homemade comfort meals, while girls go for chocolate and ice cream.‎ G. More often, though, it’s the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort in food.‎ ‎【答案】16. A 17. E ‎ ‎18. G 19. B ‎ ‎20. D ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文。本文讲述了情绪化进食是用吃来排解心中的情绪，但并非都是消极的情绪。情绪化进食对健康有危害，所以要注意控制。‎ ‎【16题详解】‎ 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据下句Have you ever finished a whole bag of chips out of boredom or downed cookie after cookie while preparing for a big test?（你曾有过准备考试前是否因为无聊而吃完一大袋薯片。）可知，A项Believe it or not，we've all been there．（信不信由你，我们都曾这样过。）符合上下文逻辑，故选A。‎ ‎【17题详解】‎ 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据上句Not many of us make the connection between eating and our feelings.可知，我们中没有多少人把饮食和感情联系在一起；根据后句One of the biggest myths about emotional eating is that it's caused by negative feelings.可知，情绪饮食最大的误解是它是由负面情绪引起的。E项Understanding what drives emotional eating can help people take steps to change it.(了解驱使情绪进食的因素可以帮助人们采取措施改变情绪。)符合上下文逻辑，故选E。‎ ‎【18题详解】‎ 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据上句Sometimes emotional eating is tied to major life events，like a death or a divorce.可知，有时情绪化的饮食与重大的生活事件有关，比如死亡或离婚。G项More often, though, it’s the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort in food.（然而，更多的时候，每天都有无数的压力促使人们去寻求食物的安慰。）符合本段文意。故选G。‎ ‎【19题详解】‎ 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段用小孩子的举例，前一句说如果小时候孩子被用糖果奖赏，长大就容易保持这样的习惯，B项If a crying boy gets some cookies, he may link cookies with comfort.(相应地说如果孩子在哭的时候得到饼干作为安慰，那就会把饼干和安慰联系在一起)是对上文的进一步解释，故B项符合题意。‎ ‎【20题详解】‎ 考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段讲这样做的危害，D 选项也是讲危害。后面的that's why 支撑了D选项的观点。上句“The trouble with emotional eating is that once the pleasure of eating is gone, the feelings that cause it remain.”（情绪化进食的麻烦是一旦没有了吃的乐趣，但想吃东西的感觉还在。）这样的话，你经常会因为吃了你喜欢的食物而感到不舒服。因此D项And you often may feel worse about eating the amount or type of food you like.是上文发展的结果。故选D。‎ ‎【点睛】该题型对学生的考查总体从两个方面来考察；第一，把握整篇文章的布局和逻辑层次关系。第二，把握微观信息间关联性，即空格前后句间关系。该题型选项大致可分为主旨概括句（文章整体内容）；过渡性句子（文章结构）和注释性句子（上下文逻辑意义）三类。‎ 对于此类题型的解答，可以将整个文段首先浏览一遍，大概理解意思。答题过程中，根据所提供的答语或是后文进行作答，同时，精读空格前后两句，利用各种衔接手段选择正确的选项填入空格。如第1、2和3‎ 小题就是通过分析空前后的句意而得出正确答案。另外可分析选项，找出与空前空后句中心词同义，近义或相关性的词语。实现关键词的对接，先易后难，各个突破。如此外要通过句子的逻辑关系或句子的标点来判断该句在文章的位置。从而选择正确的答案。做题过程中也可以使用排除法，将选项带到文章中逐一的作答，答完后注意通读检查是否符合逻辑，语义顺畅。‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用 完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ In this age of environmental crises, perhaps it comes no surprise that Stella Bowles found one in her own backyard.

Some students regarded it as a great helper. Because there has a lot of information on line, so you can surf the Internet for any information you need in a short time without working hard in the library. This is also very convenient to talk with others by using the Internet. Moreover, other students think that there is some information on line which is not good for students.
