考查固定搭配。句意：这个女孩刚一(几乎还没有)按门铃，门突然就被打开了，她的朋友冲出来迎接她。hardly...before“几乎还没有……就……”，“刚一……就……”，暗含“快”的意思。此处等于when表示“一……就”、“刚刚……就”.与hardly．scarcely连用o故选A。 【名师点睛】
B. No problem. D. Why bother?
B. feature D. gesture
B. until D. since
hardly…when...它的意思是“几乎未来得及做完A这件事，紧接着就开始B这件事。” 使用这个短语时，一般用于过去完成时；并且when有时可改用before。例如： He had hardly finished the article when the light went out.他刚写完文，灯就熄了。
He had hardly had time to settle down when he sold the house.他还未安顿下来，就卖掉了那所房子。另外，如果把hardly放于句首，主句要用倒装结构即谓语动词要提前。如：Hardly had I finished eating when he came in.我刚吃完他就进来了。
Hardly had she gone out when a student came to visit her.她还没走出家门，就有一个学生来看望她。
4.The differences in the children’s achievements can not be completely explained _________ their social backgrounds. A. in terms of B. in case of C. in need of D. in charge of 【答案】A 【解析】

【详解】考查主语从句连接词。句意：她告诉我说于她而言最重要的是保持健康。she told me是插入语，不影响整个句式的表达，句子中的谓语是（was to keep healthy），空格处表示“所……的”，在主语从句中作主语，用what。故选C。
6.The church which is easily ________ from my home is being rebuilt. A. accessible C. acceptable
B. This D. As
B. available D. responsible
【答案】A 【解析】
考查形容词辨析。A. accessible 易接近的； B. 句意为：有一个教堂从我家可以很容易地到达。available可获得的；C. acceptable 可接受的； D. responsible负责任的。 accessible 在此意为 “ 可到达的 ” 。故答案为A。

11.Various efforts ________ in the past decades to protect the environment. A. had made C. were made 【答案】D 【解析】
考查时态和语态。句意：在过去的几十年里，为保护环境做出了各种努力。根据in the past decades可知句子用现在完成时态，efforts是句子主语，复数形式，和谓语动词make之间是被动关系，所以此处用现在完成时态的被动语态，故答案为D。 12.—I will fix your printer right now. — Oh, ________. I’m in no hurry. A. take your time C. you are welcome 【答案】A 【解析】

B. have made D. have been made
B. that’s a great idea D. I’d like to
B. allowing D. allowed
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：近期这个医院购进了新的医疗设备，允许更多的病人被治疗。前句购进医疗设备和后面允许更多的病人被治疗之间是必然的结果关系，用doing即现在分词作结果状语，表示顺理成章的结果。A. being allowed表示被动且正在进行；C. having allowed 强调先于谓语动词发生；D. allowed表示被动且完成，故选B。
【点睛】判断非谓语动词的形式的第一步是分析句子成分，看是用谓语动词还是非谓语动词，确定了是非谓语动词，还要判断非谓语动词的成分，和这个动词和逻辑主语的关系。 14.--- Hello, I ________ to ask if I can book a flight ticket to London tomorrow? --- Sorry, we’ve already sold out. A. phone B. will phone C. am phoning D. have phoned 【答案】C 【解析】
【详解】考查时态。句意：—你好，我打电话来询问是否可以预订一张明天前往伦敦的机票？—对不起，机票已经卖完了。根据语境可知前者正在通过电话预订机票，应该使用现在进行时表示现在正在发生的事情。故C项正确。
【点睛】本题考查了现在进行时表示“正在发生的事情”的用法，在实际运用时，现在进行时常用以下几种情况：
(1)当句子中有now时，常表示动作正在进行，这时要用现在进行时。如： They are playing basketball now. 现在他们正在打篮球。
(2)以look, listen开头的句子，提示我们动作正进行，这时要用现在进行时。如： Listen! She is singing an English song. 听，她正在唱英语歌。
(3)表示目前一段时间或现阶段正在进行的动作，且此时有this week，these days等时间状语，这时常用现在进行时。如：
We are making model planes these days. 这些天我们在做飞机模型。
(4)描述图片中的人物的动作，也为了表达更生动，此时也常用现在进行时。如：
Look at the picture. The children are flying kites in the park.看这幅图，那些孩子正在公园放风筝。 15.（2017·天津）Nowadays, cycling, along with jogging and swimming, ___________ as one of the best all-round forms of exercise.
A. regard C. are regarded 【答案】B 【解析】
B. is regarded D. regards
【详解】考查被动语态和主谓一致。句意：现在骑自行车，慢跑和游泳被认为是最全面的锻炼方式之一。根据动词短语regard…as…“把……看作……”和句意确定应该用被动语态，排除A和D。再根据主语部分是由介词短语along with 连接的三个动名词做主语，应该谓语动词应该就前一致，即用单数，排除C，故选B。
【点睛】本题考查方向涉及到动词的语态和主谓一致，首先要把握句意，判断主谓之间是主动还是被动关系，再者就是考查学生的考虑是否全面，即加之判断谓语动词的单复数，考查了学生对主谓一致中就前一致的把握。

The Governor’s School is described as a unique opportunity for high school students to involve themselves in math science, and technology. When I signed up for computer programming, I expected to learn about coding (编程). However, what I didn’t expect was that I would also learn how to build strong friendships.
Just before I went there, I didn't know what to expect in the school, feeling quite at a loss. A sense of uncertainty about my future was flooding over me. On the first day, the students awkwardly moved around at the opening ceremonies. Although it is embarrassing to admit, I hadn't been able to succeed in my friendship in the past because I was too focused on myself. This time, I got rid of the desire to share personal stories and instead was eager to ask others about themselves.
After sunset on the second night, I heard three girls trying to recall the schedule for an upcoming museum trip. After effective communication, I knew they were Bree, Megan and Avery. Bree and Avery were in environmental science， and Megan was studying mathematics.
We had a lot in common among us four, such as our love for movies, which strengthened our friendships. Meanwhile, we were able to introduce each other to new activities. Bree introduced us to anime (日本动漫). Enthusiastically, Megan encouraged us to play tennis. Avery and I kept the other two motivated to work out at the gym. The fact that none of us was particularly skilled with equipment resulted in shared laughter almost every day.
After four weeks, I left with the ability to successfully code an educational computer game. More importantly, I also left with knowledge about the code of friendship -- the fact that I could make more friends in a month by showing interest in them than I could in a year by trying to attract others’ interest in me.
41. The author went to the Governor's School to originally learn how to _______. A. code computer programs B make friends with others
C. develop her personal hobby and interest
D. share her personal stories with others
42. The author had failed in her friendship mainly because _________. A. she was embarrassed to stay with her friends B. she cared little about others C. she longed to know about others D. she focused her attention on her study 43. What can we learn from the passage? A. Avery studied mathematics in the school. B. The four girls had a wonderful time at school.
C. Though the four girls had nothing in common, they became good friends.
D. Before going to the Governor's School, the author had the basic knowledge about computers. 44. According to the author, the success code of friendship is _____. A. getting others to be interested in her B. adding more laughter to others’ life C. keeping others motivated by stories D. becoming more interested in others 45. What does the author tell us in the passage? A. Her interest in the Governor’s School. B. A close relation with three schoolmates. C. Her experience in the Governor’s School. D. Big changes in her study.
【答案】41. A 42. B 43. B 44. D 45. C 【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文。作者在介绍自己在Governor学校的经历。通过作者的亲身经历告诉我们“友谊的成功密码是对他人越来越感兴趣。” 【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中When I signed up for computer programming, I expected to learn about coding (编程).“当我报名学习计算机编程时，”可知，我希望学习编程。作者最初到the Governor学校学习如何编写计算机程序。故选A。 【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中Although it is embarrassing to admit, I hadn't been able to succeed in my friendship in the past because I was too focused on myself.“虽然承认这很尴尬，但我在过去的友谊中没能成功，因为我太专注于自己。”可知，作者的友谊失败主要是因为她不关心别人。故选B。 【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句The fact that none of us was particularly skilled with equipment resulted in shared laughter almost every day.“事实上，我们中没有一个人对设备特别熟练，这导致我们几乎每天都在一起大笑。”可知，四个女孩在学校玩得很开心。故选B。 【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中More importantly, I also left with knowledge about the code of friendship -- the fact that I could make more friends in a month by showing interest in them than I could in a year by trying to attract others’ interest in me.“更重要的是，我也留下了关于友谊密码的知识——事实是，我可以通过对他们表现出兴趣而在一个月内交到更多的朋友，而不是通过吸引别人对我感兴趣而在一年内交到更多的朋友。”可知，根据作者的观点，友谊的成功密码是对他人越来越感兴趣。故选D。 【45题详解】
推理判断题。纵观全文，作者在介绍自己在Governor学校的经历。故选C。
C
In some islands north of Scotland, if head lice (头虱) left their host, he became sick and feverish. Therefore, sick people had lice put in their hair intentionally. There was a method in their madness： As soon as the lice had settled in again, the patient improved. The story explains the confusion of cause and effect. If the lice leave the sick host, it is because he has a fever and they simply get hot feet，and when the fever breaks，they return. Such false causality (假因果关系）misleads us every day.
Consider the headline: “Fact: Women Who Use Shampoo XYZ Every Day Have Stronger Hair.” It says very little -- least of all, that the shampoo makes your hair stronger. It might simply be the other way round: women with strong hair tend to use Shampoo XYZ -- and perhaps that’s because it says “especially for thick hair” on the bottle.
Another example: Scientists found that long periods in the hospital did harm to patients. But, clearly, patients who are dismissed immediately are healthier than those who must stay on for treatment.
Recently I read that students get better grades at school if their homes contain many books. This study was surely a shot in the arm for booksellers, but it was also false causality. This simple truth is that educated parents tend to value their children's education more than uneducated ones do, and they often have more books at home. In short, a dust-covered copy War and Peace alone isn't going to influence anyone's grades; what counts is parents' education levels, as well as their genes.
There was also the supposed relationship between the birth rate and the numbers of stork (鹳）pairs in Germany. Both were in decline, and if you plot (描绘） them on a graph (曲线图)，the two lines of development from 1965 to 1987 appeared almost the same. Does this mean the storks actually bring babies? Obviously not. This was a purely accidental connection.
In conclusion: Connection is not causality. Take a closer look at linked events: Sometimes what is presented as the cause turns out to be the effect, or just the other way round， and sometimes there is no link at all -- just like with storks and babies.
46. According to the first paragraph, people in some islands north of Scotland _________. A. found a way to get rid of head lice B. used an effective method to keep flt C. made head lice a part of their life D. died due to infections with head lice 47. Which is an example of false causality?
A. Women with strong hair tend to use a certain shampoo. B. The birth rate and the stork population are connected. C. Longer periods in the hospital benefit patients. D. Lice can make a person sick and feverish.
48. The underlined phrase “ a shot in the arm” in Paragraph 4 means _______. A. pain C. guidance
B. defeat D. encouragement
49. According to the author, students get better grades probably because ______. A. their homes are full of books B. they have read War and Peace C. their educated parents value education D. their parents are successful booksellers
50. We can draw the conclusion from the passage that _______. A. connection arc pure accidents B. cause and effect are interdependent C. connections are mostly cause and effect D. linked events may turn out to be unrelated 【答案】46. C 47. B 48. D 49. C 50. D 【解析】
本文是一篇议论文。这篇文章论述的是“联系不是因果关系。仔细看看相关事件：有时提出的原因是效果，还是相反，有时没有联系——就像鹤和婴儿。关联的事件可能是不相关的。” 【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中In some islands north of Scotland, if head lice (头虱) left their host, he became sick and feverish. Therefore, sick people had lice put in their hair intentionally.“在苏格兰北部的一些岛屿上，如果头虱离开宿主，它就会生病发烧。因此，病人故意把虱子放在头发里。”可知，根据第一段，在苏格兰北部的一些岛屿上，人们把头虱作为生活的一部分。故选C。 【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段第一句There was also the supposed relationship between the birth rate and the numbers of stork (鹳）pairs in Germany.“在德国，”出生率和鹳对数量之间也存在假定的关系。可知，“出生率和鹳的数量是相关的。”是错误的因果关系。故选B。 【48题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段第一句Recently I read that students get better grades at school if their homes contain many books.“最近我读到，”如果学生的家里有很多书，他们在学校的成绩会更好。由此可知“书多”是对书商的一种“鼓励”，所以划线词的意思是“鼓励”。 【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中This simple truth is that educated parents tend to value their children's education more than uneducated ones do,“这个简单的事实是，受过教育的父母往往比没有受过教育的父母更重视孩子的教育，”可知，根据作者的观点，学生取得更好的成绩可能是因为他们受过教育的父母重视教育。故选C。 【50题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段In conclusion: Connection is not causality. Take a closer look at linked events: Sometimes what is presented as the cause turns out to be the effect, or just the other way
round， and sometimes there is no link at all -- just like with storks and babies.“总之:联系不是因果”关系。仔细看看相关事件:有时提出的原因是效果,还是相反,有时没有联系——就像鹤和婴儿。可知，我们可以从这篇文章中得出结论，关联的事件可能是不相关的。故选D。
D
I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the issue, let’s take a look at three types of “waits”.
The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most annoying of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink(洗碗池) as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it’s full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.
A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup required a Forced Wait. Directions are very specific. “Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remove from heat, let stand five minutes.”I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires patience.
Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.
Turning one’s life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optimists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn’t come to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.
We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time you’re standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you’ll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, don’t be desperate. You’re probably just as busy as the next guy. 51. While doing a Watched-Pot Wait, we tend to ___________. A. keep ourselves busy B. get absent-minded
C. grow anxious D. stay focused
52. What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?\\ A. The Forced Wait requires some self-control. B The Forced Wait makes people passive. C. The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions. D. The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain. 53. What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait? A. It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait. B. It doesn’t always bring the desired result. C. It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait. D. It doesn’t give people faith and hope.
54. What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting? A. Take it seriously. B. Don’t rely on others. C. Do something else. D. Don’t lose heart.
55. The author supports his view by _________. A. exploring various causes of “waits”. B. describing detailed processes of “waits”. C. analyzing different categories of “waits” D. revealing frustrating consequences of “waits” 【答案】51. B 52. A 53. B 54. D 55. C 【解析】
本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了等待分为三种，我们不应该在等待时失去信心 【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的句子During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. 可知，在等待的过程中，大脑从身体中溜走，四处游荡，直到水从柜台边缘流到你
的袜子上。所以我们在等待一壶水煮开的时候我们总是心不在焉的。故选B。 【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段After all，Forced Waiting requires patience可知强迫等待需要耐心。所以强迫等待需与被监视的等待的区别是强迫等待需要自控。故选A。 【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的句子waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.可知等待你的好运不一定意味着就会发生，即e Lucky-Break Wait不一定带来渴望的结果 。故选B。 【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据第最后一段中The next time you’re standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you’ll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, don’t be desperate.可知，下次站在水槽边煮面时，一定不要灰心。所以作者建议我们下一次等待的时候，我们不要绝望，不要灰心。故选D。 【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段To understand the issue，let's take a look at three types of“waits”.可知，为了理解这个问题，让我们看看三种类型的“等待”。所以判断出作者是通过分析不同种类的等待来支持自己的观点的。故选C。
四、阅读表达：
阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
In the years of my growing up, Dad was strict with me. He made sure I made my bed and did my homework. He would call in advance to make sure there was no alcohol at the party. I got so angry with him for laying down the law. I would scream, “ I hate you!” Dad would yell back, “Good! I don’t care!” Deep down I knew he did. One time at a party, I drank too much alcohol and got so sick. I said, “ Call my dad.” Next thing, Dad was carrying me to the car. I woke up the next morning, thinking I would definitely be criticised. As expected, I got a roasting, but I now understand why I need discipline.
Dad was 29 when he got his big roles in films. I had an early start at the age of nine with a role in a 1990s TV series, but it wasn’t until I finished film studies that I pursued my career as an actress. Like those early days for Dad, I faced lots
of rejections. Working in such a competitive industry, I’ve sometimes thought, “ I can’t do this any more.”
Once, after a trip to Hollywood, I returned to Australia so depressed and spent months in my bedroom painting, listening to Eckhart Tolle’s music and trying to find myself again. Dad sat me down and said,“Alice, I know it’s hard, but it’s all about persistence(坚持不懈).”
Now I get to work with Dad a lot, which I love. We both passionate about acting, which comes from us being so interested in people. If it weren’t for Dad, I wouldn’t be where I am today. He’s my biggest fan, and when you have that in your life you can go a long way.
56. What rules did Alice’s father set for her when she was growing up?(no more than 15 words)
57. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?(no more than 5 words) 58. What did Alice’s father do when she felt depressed?(no more than 5 words) 59. According to the last paragraph, what do Alice and her father have in common?(no more than 10 words)
60. What do you think of Alice’s father? Please explain.(no more than 20 words) 【答案】56. She should make her bed, do her homework and drink no alcohol. Or: Making her bed, doing her homework and drinking no alcohol. 57. I got/was criticised/scolded.
58. He encouraged/comforted/inspired her.
59. They are both passionate about acting and interested in people. 60. He is a
good/devoted/caring/lovingfatherbecausehewasstrictwithhisdaughterandencouragedherwhenshewasintrouble.Or:Heisalwayssupportive/asourceofstrength.Wheneversheisintrouble,heisthereforher. 【解析】
