18、用情态动词shall。故选A项。【点睛】情态动词shall用于第三人称作主语的陈述句中，表示条约、规定、法令等文件中的义务或规定，在该小题中是适用的。7._ the content of this letter can be confidential; security is an issue that you must address.A. AlthoughB. SinceC.

20、致可分为两大类：1、名词性从句里的从属连词：that （无词义，不做成分），if、whether （表达是否的意义，但不做句子成分）；2、状语从句里的从属连词：before、after、since、if、because、though等。8.Mr. Smith gave her one of the pills that he _ for stomachache or something like that.A. will have takenB. had been takenC. has takenD. had been taking【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查动词时态。句意：Smith先生

21、给了她一片他一直服用的治胃病之类的药。分析句子可知，这是一个定语从句，根据从句句意得知，这个药是Smith先生之前就在服用，而且这个药也会一直持续服用下去，所以动词时态应该是现在完成进行时。又因为定语从句前面的主句部分是用的一般过去时，也就是说在Smith先生给她药之前，他就在服用这个治胃病的药，所以综上所述，动词应该用过去完成进行时，故选D项。9.I always read newspapers backwards because the back pages are _ the sport is.A. thatB. whereC. howD. what .【答案】B【解析】【详解】考察名词

22、性从句。句意：我总是倒着看报纸，因为报纸的后页是关于运动的。分析句子可知，表语从句“_ the sport is”中缺少地点状语，故选B。10.Shes always suggesting ways _ I can improve my cooking. I know she means well but this really annoys me.A. thatB. whichC. howD. when【答案】A【解析】【详解】考查定语从句。句意：她总是建议我改进厨艺的方法。我知道她是好意，但这真的让我很恼火。句中先行词为ways，在定语从句中作方式状语，则关系词选用以下三种其中任意一种：i

23、n which, that或省略不用关系词。故选A。11._ as a platform, the Belt and Road Initiative strengthens the ties between China and the rest of the world, as well as between various regions with China.A. To serveB. Having servedC. ServedD. Serving【答案】D【解析】【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：作为一个平台，“一带一路”倡议增强了中国和世界其他国家的联系，也增强了不同区域和中国之间的联系

24、。分析句子结构可知，动词serve在句中作状语，和主语“the Belt and Road Initiative”之间是主动关系，需用现在分词Serving。故选D。12.But for his determination to stick it out, he _ it as a top-ranked player in tennis.A. shouldnt have madeB. could makeC. wouldnt have madeD. wouldnt make【答案】C【解析】【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意：要不是他坚持到底的决心，他就不会成为一流的网球选手。but for表示“要不

25、是、倘若没有”，需要用虚拟语气，属于隐含虚拟条件句，根据“his determination to stick it out”可知此处表示对过去情况的虚拟，主句谓语用would(not)+have done，故C项正确。13._ the opening ceremony of the first China International Import Expo in Shanghai was President Xi, where he announced new measures to further expand opening-up,A. AttendingB. AttendedC. To

26、 attendD. Having attended【答案】A【解析】【详解】考查完全倒装和表语提前。句意：参加首次中国国际进口博览会开幕仪式的是习主席，他在此宣布将会采取新的措施扩大对外开放。动词的现在分词一般式和过去分词适用于表语提前，主语President Xi和attend（出席）构成主动关系，所以用现在分词一般式的主动，表示“正在参加”，故选A。14.I just feel _! How could I have made such a stupid mistake in yesterdays competition? Hi, come on cheer up! Its not tha

27、t bad.A. off the top of my headB. down in the dumpsC. hot under the collarD. on cloud nine【答案】B【解析】【详解】考查情景交际及习惯表达。句意：我实在心情太失落了。我怎么能在昨天的竞赛中犯如此愚蠢的错误呢？嗨，加油，振作起来！没有那么差。A. off the top of my head 不假思索；B. down in the dumps 情绪低落；C. hot under the collar 怒气冲冲；D. on cloud nine 九霄云上。由后文“Hi, come on cheer up! I

28、ts not that bad.” 表达的是“嗨，加油，振作起来！没有那么差。”，这是一种对对方的鼓励和安慰。由此可见，我此时的心情是失落的，选项B. down in the dumps 情绪低落，符合语境。故选B。15.I will hang out with friends this afternoon. May I do the homework tomorrow?_ You have to finish it today.A. What of it?B. You dont sayC. Whats upD. Not on your life!【答案】D【解析】【分析】【详解】考查情景交际

You dont say你还别说。C.Whats up? 到底怎么了？D.Not on your life.绝对不可以。第一个人说：要出去逛街，提出明天做家庭作业的要求。根据You have to finish it today.可知家长显然是不同意的。“绝对不可以”符合语境，故选D。第二节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。Since the age

67、39. C 40. C【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章通过引用生物学家J. B. S. Haldane的预测，讲述了科学进步会给传统道德标准带来挑战，最终提出：理性与人性的结合可以创造更有效的道德。【38题详解】细节理解题。根据题干关键词J. B. S. Haldane forecasted可以定位到文章第一段。结合第一段第二句Haldane forecasted that scientific progress would destroy every belief and value. Haldane预测科学的进步会摧毁所有的信仰和价值。第四句Haldane had a point: our p

68、owers have led to challenges that have never existed before. 霍尔丹有一个观点: 我们的力量带来了前所未有的挑战。据此可以得出，霍尔丹预言科学的发展将对传统道德提出挑战。故选B项。【39题详解】推理判断题。根据题干关键词，结合文章第二段第一句In the face of such challenges, our evolved moral sense often proves not enough. “Society is now too big a concept for our brains to analyze.面对这样的挑战，

69、我们进化出来的道德感往往证明是不够的。“社会”现在是一个太大的概念，我们的大脑无法分析。由此判断出，我们进化出来的道德观念太过局限，无法解决现代社会的问题。故选C项。【40题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段We are not simply prisoners of our emotions: we can reason our way to workable solutions. 我们不仅仅是情感的囚徒，我们可以通过理性的方法找到可行的解决方案。由此判断出理性与人性的结合可以创造更有效的道德。故选C项。CSomewhere in the highlands of Afghanistan, a

70、hungry fox pounces （猛扑）on a tasty-looking leopard gecko （豹纹 壁虎）.But the lizard has a get out of jail free card: a separable tail.

So how do these animals adapt to losing so much of it that quickly?When geckos lose their tail, they take this more sprawled pos

72、ture （四肢伸开的姿势）and walk with their limbs spread out farther from their body, says Chapman University biologist Kevin Jagnandan. Most researchers initially assumed this posture was a response to a suddenly shifted center of mass. But when Jagnandan observed leopard geckos with a tail in his laboratory

73、, he realized that they wag it as they walk, suggesting that these movements may be key to the lizards movements.To test this assumption, Jagnandan and his team assessed the postures of 10 geckos walking in various conditions: with their tail intact （完整的）；with their tail restricted by a small sectio

This result suggests the sprawling walk they adopt after losing their tail is not compensating for the missing mass but rather for the lack of tail-wagging. Jagnandan thinks tail movements help the lizards keep balance

76、and stability as they walk. He suspects that the tails of mammals living in trees, such as cats and monkeys, serve a similar purpose.Bill Ryerson, a biologist at Saint Anselm College, who was not involved in the study, was surprised by the findings.

B 42. B 43. D 44. C【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述研究发现蜥蜴在失去尾巴之后，采用四肢伸开的姿势行走是为了弥补摇尾巴这个动作，而不是为了失去的重量。【41题详解】推理判断题。由第一段的最后一

82、句“The dropped part waves in an energetic but uncontrolled way around long enough to distract the fox, allowing the gecko itself to run off and hide.”可知，这个脱落部分以一种剧烈，但不受控制的方式一直挥动着，这足以使这只狐狸分心，从而使这只壁虎能自己逃脱和躲藏起来。由此可见，这只狐狸受到了这只壁虎的欺骗。结合选项可知，选项B正确。【42题详解】细节理解题。由第三段的第二句“Most researchers initially assumed thi

83、s posture was a response to a suddenly shifted center of mass.”可知，大部分的研究者们一开始假设这个姿势是对突然重心转移的一种反应。由此可见，大部分研究者们曾经认为壁虎采用四肢展开姿势是因为它们的重心发生变化了。结合选项可知，选项B正确。【43题详解】推理判断题。由最后一段“Jagnandan hopes that understanding how animals react to missing body parts could ultimately help engineers design robots that can m

84、ove more efficiently as heavy loads or even entire limbs - are added and removed.”可知，Jagnandan希望了解动物对身体缺失部分是如何做出反应的，这最终能够帮助工程师设计出当超重负荷或者甚至是整个肢体被增加或者移开时，仍然能够更加有效地移动的机器人。 由此可见，这项研究的发现可能会被应用到人工智能领域。结合选项可知，选项D正确。【44题详解】主旨大意题。由全文内容可知，第二段最后一句“So how do these animals adapt to losing so much of it that quic

85、kly?”，第三段的第一句“When geckos lose their tail, they take this more sprawled posture （四肢伸开的姿势）and walk with their limbs spread out farther from their body, says Chapman University biologist Kevin Jagnandan.”，以及第五段第二句“This result suggests the sprawling walk they adopt after losing their tail is not compen

86、sating for the missing mass but rather for the lack of tail-wagging.”可知，这些动物是如何迅速地适应失去如此多的尾巴？查普曼大学生物学家Kevin Jagnandan说，当壁虎失去它们的尾巴时，它们会采用这种四肢伸开的姿势，然后用从身体伸展开来的四肢来行走。这个结论表明它们在失去它们的尾巴之后采用的四肢伸开行走不是对缺失重量的弥补，而是对摇尾巴动作缺失的弥补。由此可见，本文都是在讲述壁虎是如何去适应失去尾巴的。结合选项可知，选项C正确。DFor most of recorded history, the struggle to

87、 eat has been the main focus of human activity, and all but a handful of people were either farmers or farm workers. Starvation was ever-present threat. Even the best years rarely yielded much of a surplus to carry over as an insurance against leaner times. In the worst situation, none but the power

88、ful could be sure of a full stomach.Now most people in rich countries never have to worry about where the next meal is coming from. In 1900 two in every five American workers laboured on a farm: now one in 5Q does. Even in poor places such as India, where famine still struck until the mid-20th centu

89、ry, the assumption that everyone will have something to eat is increasingly built into the rhythm of life.That assumption, though, leads to complacency（自满情结）. Famine has ended in much of the world, but it still stalks parts of Africa -Ethiopia, Mozambique and Zimbabwe, to name three countries, depen

90、d on handouts of food. And millions of people still suffer from malnutrition. According to the UNs Food and Agriculture Organisation（FAO）, some 2 billion of the worlds 7.3 billion people do not have enough to eat. Moreover, by 2050, the total population is projected to grow to almost 10 billion. Add

91、 this to the rising demand for meat, fish, milk and eggs, which is born of prosperity and which requires extra fodder to satisfy, and 70% more food will be needed in 2050 than was produced in 2009, the year the FAO did the calculation. That is a tall order. But it is not impossible.Since the time of

92、 Thomas Malthus, an economist writing a little over 200 years ago, people have worried that population growth would outstrip（超过）food supply. So far, it has not. But neo-Malthusians spot worrying signs. One is that in some places the productivity of staples（主食）such as rice and wheat has reached a pla

93、teau（停滞期）.Neither new strains nor fancy agrochemicals are raising yields. Nor is there much unfarmed land left that is suitable to be brought under the plough. Neo-Malthusians also suggest that, if global temperatures continue to rise, some places will become unfarmable -particularly poor, tropical

94、regions.These are reasonable, concerns. But they can be overcome by two things: the application and spread of technology, and the implementation of sensible government policies.Agricultural technology is changing fast. Much of this change is brought about by rich-world farmers and by rich fanners in

95、 middle-income places like Brazil. Techniques developed in the West 一 especially genome-based breeding that can create crops with special properties almost to order 一 are being adapted to make tropical crops. Such smart breeding, in alliance with new, precise techniques of genetic modification, shou

96、ld break through the yield plateaus. It can also produce crops with properties such as drought and heat-resistance that will. reduce the effects of global warming. Drought-resistant maize created in this way is already on the market.The developing world applies as little to existing farming techniqu

97、es as it does to the latest advances in genetic modification. Yield plateaus are a phenomenon only of the most intensively farmed parts of the world. Extending to the smallholders and subsistence farmers of Africa and Asia the best of todays agricultural practices, in such simple matters as how much

98、 fertilizer to apply and when, would get humanity quite a long way towards a 70% increase in output.Indeed, government policy on reducing waste more generally would make a huge difference. The FAO says that about a third of food is lost during or after harvest. In rich countries a lot of food is thr

99、own away by consumers. In poor ones it does not reach consumers in the first place. Bad harvesting practices, poor storage and slow transport mean that food is damaged, spoiled or lost to pests. Changing that, which is mostly a question of building things like better, pest-proof grain silos and moni

100、toring their contents properly, would take a big bite out of the 70% increase.The neo-Malthusians may throw up their hands in despair, but consider this: despite all the apparent obstacles, from yield plateaus to climate change, in the six years following the FAO analysis cereal production rose by 1

101、1%. If growth like that continues it should not only be possible to feed the 10 billion, but to feed them well.45. According to Paragraphs 1 and 2, we can know that most people in the modern world _ .A. usually take food for granted .B. are successfully getting rid of farmingC. tend to deal with lea

102、n years skillfullyD. enjoy equal rights to get good food46. What does the underlined sentence, in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Feeding a population of almost 10 billion can be expensive.B. A precise calculation of the food growth rate is hard to make.C. Increasing the output of food by 70% in given

103、years is very difficult.D. There is no parallel to the rising demand for high-quality food in history.47. According to the passage, neo-Malthusians _.A. have disproved Thomas Malthus argumentB. have contributed to the increased output of cropsC. have found that population growth will exceed food sup

104、plyD. have claimed that climate change may influence food production48. What can we infer from the example of the develop world in Paragraph 7?A. Technology is of little use if it is not adopted.B. Yield plateaus are common to see all over the world.C. The developing world has got used to existing f

A 49. D 50. B【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章作者分析了世界粮食的状况以及随着人口增长人们对粮食供应的担忧，指出粮食增长的一些措施并且认为未来世界粮食供应是有希望的。【45题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第

107、一段“For most of recorded history, the struggle to eat has been the main focus of human activity(在有记录以来的大部分历史中，人类活动的主要焦点是争夺食物)”和第二段“Now most people in rich countries never have to worry about where the next meal is coming from.(现在，富裕国家的大多数人从来不用担心下一顿饭从哪里来。)”和“the assumption that everyone will have some

108、thing to eat is increasingly built into the rhythm of life.(人人都有东西吃的假设也越来越成为生活节奏的一部分。)”可知，其实食物缺乏一直都存在，从而推断，现代社会的大多数人通常认为食物是理所当然的。故选A。【46题详解】句意猜测题。根据文章第三段划线句That is a tall order. 字面意思是“这是一个很高的要求。”结合前句“Add this to the rising demand for meat, fish, milk and eggs, which is born of prosperity and which r

109、equires extra fodder to satisfy, and 70% more food will be needed in 2050 than was produced in 2009, the year the FAO did the calculation.( 再加上人们对肉、鱼、奶和蛋不断增长的需求，这些都源于经济繁荣，需要额外的饲料来满足需求，2050年的粮食需求量将比2009年(粮农组织计算的那年)高出70%。)”可猜测，这句话的意思是“在特定年份将粮食产量提高70%是非常困难的。”故选C。【47题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Neo-Malthusians als

110、o suggest that, if global temperatures continue to rise, some places will become unfarmable -particularly poor, tropical regions.( 新马尔萨斯主义者还认为，如果全球气温继续上升，一些地方将无法耕种尤其是贫穷的热带地区。)”可知，新马尔萨斯主义者声称气候变化可能会影响粮食生产。故选D。【48题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第七段“The developing world applies as little to existing farming techniques as

111、 it does to the latest advances in genetic modification. (发展中国家对现有农业技术的应用和对转基因技术的最新进展一样少。)” 及发展中国家的例子可知，如果技术不被采用，它就没有什么用处。故选A。【49题详解】词义猜测题。根据文章倒数第二段划线句take a big bite out of字面意思是“咬一大口”，结合本段中心句“Indeed, government policy on reducing waste more generally would make a huge difference.(事实上，政府在更广泛的范围内减少浪费

112、的政策将会产生巨大的影响。)”及划线句前句“Changing that, which is mostly a question of building things like better, pest-proof grain silos and monitoring their contents properly,( 改变这一现状，主要的问题是建造更好的、防虫害的谷物筒仓，并对其内容进行适当的监控，)”可猜测，这里指“大量减少”之意。故选D。【50题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The neo-Malthusians may throw up their hands in despair

113、, but consider this: despite all the apparent obstacles, from yield plateaus to climate change, in the six years following the FAO analysis cereal production rose by 11%. If growth like that continues it should not only be possible to feed the 10 billion, but to feed them well.”可知，粮农组织分析认为之后的六年里谷物产量

114、会增长了11%。如果这样的增长继续下去，那么不仅有可能养活这100亿人口，而且还能养活好他们。由此可以推断出，作者认为未来的世界粮食供应是很有希望的。故选B。第II卷（非选择题，共三大题，35分）第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意；每个空格只填1个单词.请将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上。The future belongs to the flexible mind.
