1．Which activity will you choose if you want to go camping? A．OUT. C．CRF. 答案 A

解析 细节理解题。根据题干中的go camping可以定位到第一则广告。由该则广告中的“You will be able to take part in a number of activities from canoeing to wild camping on Dartmoor.”可知，这是户外探险活动，参与该活动可以划独木舟(canoeing)，也可以野营，因此选A项。 2．What will the students do on Tuesday with Mrs Wilson? A．Travel to London. B．See a parade and fireworks. C．Tour central Paris.

D．Visit the WWⅠ battlefields. 答案 D

解析 细节理解题。根据题干中的Mrs Wilson可以定位到第二则广告。由该则广告中的“On Monday we travel to London.After staying overnight in London，we travel on Day 2 to northern France to visit the World War Ⅰ battlefields.”可知，星期一参观者到达伦敦，第二天即星期二到法国北部参观第一次世界大战的战场，这与D项内容吻合。 3．How long does Potty about Potter last?

解析 推理判断题。根据题干可以定位到最后一则广告。该广告提到参观华纳兄弟工作室、去商店买野餐、在青年旅馆住一晚(stay overnight)，那么后面交代的坐船游览查韦尔河就应该是第二天的活动，由此推断这个活动的持续时间是两天。

B．Four days. D．One week. B．WBP. D．POT.

(2018·溧阳高三调研考试)

In English the sky is blue，and the grass is green.But in Vietnamese there is just one color category for both sky and grass：xanh.For decades cognitive(认识的) scientists have pointed to such examples as evidence that language largely determines how we see color.But new research with four-to-six-month-old babies indicates that long before we learn language，we see up to five basic categories of color—a finding that suggests a stronger biological element to perceive(感知) color than previously thought.

The study，published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of USA，tested the color-discrimination abilities of more than 170 British babies.Researchers at the University of Sussex in England measured how long babies spent staring at color swatches，a system known as looking time.First babies were showed one swatch repeatedly until their looking time decreased—a sign they had grown bored with it.Then the researchers showed them a different sample and noted their reaction.Longer looking time was explained to mean the babies considered the second sample to be a new color.Their increasing responses showed that they distinguished among five colors：red，green，blue，purple and yellow.

“The finding suggests you come by nature to make color distinctions，but given your culture and language，certain distinctions may or may not be used，” explains lead author Alice Skelton，a doctoral student at Sussex.

“The study systematically explored babies’ color perception，revealing how we perceive colors before we have the words to describe them，”says Angela M．Brown，an experimental psychologist at the Ohio State University’s College of Optometry，who was not involved with the new research.The results add a new challenge to the long nature-versus-nurture debate and the so-called Sapir-Whorf hypothesis(假设)—the idea that the way we see the world is shaped by language.

In future work，Skelton and her colleagues are interested in testing babies from other cultures.“The way language and culture interact is a really interesting question，” she says.“We don’t know the exact systems yet，but we do know how we start off.”

语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要是关于婴儿对颜色的感知能力是先天还是后天随语言而产生的研究。 4．What’s the finding of the new research? A．It clarifies what makes babies perceive colors. B．It proves human color recognition is inborn.

C．It finds how many colors babies can perceive. D．It shows the color culture is shaped by language. 答案 B

解析 细节理解题。根据第三段“The finding suggests you come by nature to make color distinctions...”可知，新研究发现，人类对颜色的认知是天生的。 5．According to the new research，we can learn that . A．swatches affect babies in memory and attention B．longer looking time is based on psychology C．researchers determine babies’ color perception D．babies can tell the differences of some colors 答案 D

解析 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Their increasing responses showed that they distinguished among five colors：red，green，blue，purple and yellow.”可推断出，婴儿可以辨别几种不同的颜色。

6．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A．A Rainbow in the Baby’s World B．A Journey to the World of Colors C．A New Challenge：Language vs.Culture D．Different Babies，Different Color Perception 答案 A

解析 标题归纳题。根据对全文的理解可知，这是一篇科学研究类文章，通常第一段就是文章的主旨。这篇文章主要是关于婴儿对颜色的感知能力是天生的还是后天随语言而产生的研究。A项中A rainbow用了修辞，指代颜色。

Are you always disturbed by the noise made by your co-workers while you’re working hard at your task？What kind of feelings will you have on hearing such noise？Have you ever got an idea that a certain helmet will help you out of the trouble so you can focus on your work at the office？Now，you needn’t worry，for the “Helmfon” will help you ignore noisy co-workers and other distractions(使人分心的事)．

Created by Ukrainian design company Hochu Rayu，the Helmfon is a big helmet that uses special equipment to absorb the sound so as to completely block out any outside noise，giving the wearers their own quiet personal space so they can better focus their attention on their work.Made

of a glass fiber shell，membrane cloth and foamed polyethylene(泡沫聚乙烯)，the helmet not only blocks outside sound，but it also keeps the noise you make in，allowing you to answer calls，hold Skype conferences，watch or edit videos，privately.

The company came up with the idea for the Helmfon after being asked to design a new phone booth for an IT company.The project made the team think about the way we communicate and finally begin working on a device(装置) that would allow you to be in two worlds just sitting on your chair in the office，at a meeting，or everywhere you feel like just wearing your helmet.

The Helmfon comes complete with a system board，a microphone，speakers，and a special holder for your phone.The only disadvantage is that it makes you look like a character from Mel Brooks’ famous Star Wars parody，Space Balls，but the company also made public a variety of great choices，including Batman-inspired design，and even a Native American headgear.

The Helmfon is still in prototype(雏形) stage，but the Ukrainian company is already working on a commercially possible design and plans to offer the design for sale.A release date has not yet been revealed.

语篇解读 工作的时候旁边的同事很吵？或者说你需要全神贯注地工作？有一款设备完全适合你。Helmfon是一款头盔，它可以给予我们所有人想要的一个隐私空间，阻挡来自外面的任何噪音。 7．Why does the author ask questions in Paragraph 1? A．To introduce the new device—the Helmfon. B．To ask readers’ opinions on noise at the office. C．To ask people not to make noises at the office. D．To introduce the noise trouble we’re facing. 答案 A

解析 推理判断题。第一段大意为：当你在努力工作的时候经常受到同事噪音的打扰吗？你是否想过某个头盔将帮助你摆脱这种困境？现在Helmfon将帮助你忽略吵闹的同事和其他使你分心的事。由此可推知，作者在文章的开头提出这些问题是为了引出新的装置——the Helmfon，故选A项。

8．What is the function of the Helmfon? A．Protecting wearers’ safety.

B．Giving wearers a quiet personal space. C．Helping wearers talk secretly.

D．Preventing people from making noises. 答案 B

解析 细节理解题。根据第二段的“the Helmfon is a big helmet...giving the wearers their own quiet personal space so they can better focus their attention on their work”可知，Helmfon是一个大的头盔，它使用特殊的设备来吸收声音，给戴头盔者一个安静的个人空间，这样他们就可以更好地将注意力集中在工作上。故选B项。 9．What do the underlined words “The project” refer to? A．Holding a special phone meeting. B．Inventing a helmet everyone likes. C．Designing a device we can wear. D．Designing a new phone booth. 答案 D

解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的上一句“The company came up with the idea for the Helmfon after being asked to design a new phone booth for an IT company.”可知，当(这家乌克兰)公司被要求为一家IT公司设计一个新型电话亭时，他们想出了Helmfon，故the project指的是为一家IT公司设计新型电话亭。

10．We can infer from the text that the Ukrainian company . A．is in need of a lot of money for the project B．has received lots of orders for the Helmfon C．hasn’t designed a fully successful helmet D．has begun to sell the helmet online 答案 C

解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，Helmfon目前仍处于初期阶段，但是这家乌克兰公司已经在忙于一个商业上可行的设计，并计划出售此设计。由此可推知，目前这家乌克兰公司还未设计出完全成功的新型头盔。 Ⅱ.任务型阅读

(2017·前黄高级中学一模)

The loss of handwriting in our high-tech world saddens me.People of all ages openly admit their handwriting is becoming worse as keyboards replace pen and paper.Increasingly，schoolchildren deal with assignments on computer and struggle to write，having had little practice.I

am of the generation that learnt to write with a dip pen in kindergarten and a fountain pen in high school；by the time I reached university，like everyone else，I used a functional ballpoint.Handwriting has filled every aspect of my life since I was first taught to shape letters on the lined pages of my exercise books.

From the age of 12，I have kept a handwritten journal，recording my thoughts and feelings regarding both the significant and boring aspects of my life.Through this daily practice I connected with myself，explored experiences and found a way to interpret and make sense of my relationships.Although I rarely reread my written material，the process of writing has remained with me as a means of processing my feelings and filtering(过滤) my experiences.

Yet today，handwritten letters are as rare as a red panda.Few of us write letters any longer，even to those to whom we are close.We communicate differently when we e-mail or text，both methods characterised by speed and informality.The deep thinking，which accompanied a handwritten letter，is almost entirely absent.We may be communicating more frequently and with more people，but the depth and quality of our communication has reduced.

Sadly，modern technology tends to be temporary.Few of us keep old e-mails or even print them out，so a sense of history and memory is lost.Archivists(档案管理者) report that more information has been lost in the past decade than in the previous 150 years.It is too easy to press the delete button.

In many other areas of records，material is now in the digital format.Yet saving material in a digital format only is extremely unstable.How it will survive the future remains a problem.

In this digital world of text，e-mails and instant messaging，the perceived value of writing is no longer obvious and the case for retaining the practice of writing needs to be made.Should we save the humble pen and paper when laptops and mobiles are functional，universal and unstoppable？Should children continue to be taught to write with a pen and paper?

With its passing，a good mode of self-expression is being lost.I invite readers to engage with handwriting and become aware of this special skill that has created civilization for centuries.

Paragraph outline The current 11. of handwriting Detailed information ·Students 12. to computers to complete their homework. ·With little practice，students have 13. writing. ·We seldom write letters even to people we are close to. ·The author 14. himself to handwriting from kindergarten to university.

解析 根据文章第一句“The loss of handwriting in our high-tech world saddens me.”及右栏的内容可知此处指当前的书写状况。故填situation。 12．答案 turn

解析 根据第一段中“...as keyboards replace pen and paper.Increasingly，schoolchildren deal with assignments on computer and struggle to write，having had little practice.”可知，目前学生改用电脑来完成他们的作业。turn to改用，开始使用，故填turn。 13．答案 trouble/difficulty/problems

解析 根据第一段中“struggle to write，having had little practice”可知，因为书写练习少，学生在书写上有困难。固定搭配：have trouble/difficulty/problems (in) doing sth.在做某事上有困难。故填trouble/difficulty/problems。 14．答案 committed/devoted/dedicated

解析 根据第一段倒数第二句可知，作者从幼儿园起到大学一直致力于书写。固定搭配：commit/devote/dedicate oneself to...致力于……，根据句意可知，此空填committed/devoted/ dedicated。 15．答案 track

解析 根据第二段首句“From the age of 12，I have kept a handwritten journal，recording my

thoughts and feelings regarding both the significant and boring aspects of my life.”可知，作者坚持写日志来记录自己的思想和感情。固定词组：keep track of记录，与……保持联系。故填track。 16．答案 advantage

解析 根据第二段最后一句“Although I rarely reread my written material，the process of writing has remained with me as a means of processing my feelings and filtering(过滤) my experiences.”可知，作者还利用文字处理自己的情感和过滤自己的经历。固定词组：take advantage of利用。故填advantage。 17．答案 problems

解析 根据第三至七段的内容以及右栏内容可知，现代交流方式存在问题。故填problems。 18．答案 absence

解析 根据第三段中“The deep thinking...is almost entirely absent...but the depth and quality of our communication has reduced.”可知，电子邮件和文本中缺乏深度和质量。故填absence“缺乏，缺席”。 19．答案 rise/birth

解析 根据第四段前两句可知，现代技术的临时性会产生一些历史和记忆的丢失。固定搭配：give rise/brith to产生，出生。故此空填rise/birth。 20．答案 appeal

解析 根据最后一段中的“I invite readers to engage with handwriting and become aware of this special skill that has created civilization for centuries.”可知，作者呼吁人们多动手写字。根据句意可知此空填appeal“呼吁”。
