第一节:阅读下列材料, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项。
(A)
We have all heard of the smartphone and most of us will have one. Not far behind: the smart home. In the latest issue of Journal Science, Washington State University’s Diane Cook says it won’t be long before our homes act as “intelligent agents” to predict our needs and deal with tasks that improve our health, energy efficiency, even social media.
“Many homes are already halfway there, with computer chips helping microwave food, record TV shows, and turn on coffee makers. What we’re trying to do is get the home to think about what you need as a whole and use different parts to do the right things. ” she says.
Cook has been working on smart homes since 2006. Some test homes in Seattle already show that the technology can help monitor the elderly people and remind them to complete ordinary activities like rising, eating and taking medicine.
Similarly, the home can itself control energy use. Smart home technologies can run washers at off-peak times, turn off unneeded appliances(家用电器)and put out lights in empty rooms. Many communities, including Pullman, are testing the concept of the smart home.
While the smartphone lets people take their social media with them, the home could act like a car’s Bluetooth, making hands-free conversation from any room a reality and cameras will let the people “talk face to face from anywhere” .
Although the technology is available, technologies like in-home cameras raise privacy concerns. The technologies, like many others, face a challenge of being accepted and adopted, says Cook. She has seen that in particular with the elderly participants in her studies.
“People will soon understand what these technologies do and see how user-friendly they are. I bet some technologies will develop fast once they’re starting to be used. ”
41. According to the passage, all of the following statements about the smart home technology are TRUE except that .
A. it is a completely new concept
B. some tests are being carried out
C. it helps improve home management
D. it will soon become a reality
42. According to Cook, the smart home technology can benefit .
A. the parents monitoring their kids’ behavior
B. the housewives with babies to attend
C. the nurses in the hospital nearby
D. the senior people who need taking care of
43. According to Paragraph 4, the smart home technology will help people .
A. make more money
B. use a new form of energy
C. improve the energy efficiency
D. develop the sense of saving
44. One of the obstacles that prevent the smart home technology from being accepted is .
A. the concern about people’s privacy
B. the concern about the cost from it
C. the concern about the loss of tradition
D. the concern about elderly people
45. What does Cook think of the smart home technology?
A. Useful but much too costly.
B. Challenging but promising.
C. Convenient and affordable.
D. User-friendly and practical.

Here are many different Londons, and they appeal to people with many different passions: museum lovers, theatergoers, opera buffs(爱好者, 迷; 热心人), devotees of royalty, students of history, people who like to walk in the rain. But richest of all, perhaps, is the London for book lovers.
Because the city is the star and the backdrop of so much great literature, it is possible to believe you know it very well—how it looks, how it feels—without ever leaving your home country, or indeed your home. But it is better to visit, if only for the joy of seeing the landscape of your imagination come to life. How breathtaking to happen upon Pudding Lane, where a bakery accident led to the Great Fire of 1666, after reading Pepys’ account in his diaries. Or to wander along Baker Street, where Sherlock Holmes once fictionally solved the unsolvable. Walk across London Bridge and gaze down, towards Southwark Bridge: this is the stretch of the Thames where Dickens’ sinister characters dredged up corpses in “Our Mutual Friend” .
The city is not so foggy as it was in 1952, when Margery Allingham published “The Tiger in the Smoke” , or as socially stratified as it when Marianne Dashwood waited in “Sense and Sensibility” for a suitor who never called; or as greedy as it was in the thrusting 1980s of Martin Amis’ “Money” . But it is all of those Londons, an accrual of different descriptions and eras. It is a city made for description—reread the first passages of “Bleak House” , also on the subject of fog, for a moody introduction—and one that so respects its authors that it buried a number of the best ones in style, in Westminster Abbey.
There are plenty of organized literary-themed tours around the city, easily found on the Internet. Or you can wander characteristically on your own, which is more fun. If you take the tube or the bus, make sure to carry a book.
50. What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A. Most people of London like visiting museums.
B. No Londoners go to cinemas to see the films.
C. A majority of Londoners are book lovers.
D. All the Londoners like to walk in the rain.
51. From Pepys’ diaries we can get to know .
A. Great Fire of 1666 caused by an accident in a bakery
B. Sherlock Holmes once lived in Baker Street
C. London Bridge is next to Baker Street
D. “Our Mutual Friend” is one of Dickens’works
52. Sherlock Holmes is .
A. a book lover
B. a character of Dickens’ novel: “Our Mutual Friend”
C. a detective
D. a person who set the Great Fire of 1666
53. In which book can’t you find the description about the fog in London?
A. “The Tiger in the Smoke” .
B. “Sense and Sensibility” .
C. “Money” .
D. “Our Mutual Friend” .
54. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Most kinds of tours around London may be found on the Internet.
B. You must be shown around London by a guide.
C. There are many kinds of literary-themed activities including tours.
D. You’d better take a book when you travel in London.

Joe came to New York from the Middle West, dreaming about painting. Delia came to New York from the South, dreaming about music. Joe and Delia met in a studio. Before long they were good friends and got married.
They had only a small flat to live in, but they were happy. They loved each other, and they were both interested in art. Everything was fine until one day they found they had spent all their money.
Delia decided to give music lessons. One afternoon she said to her husband,
“Joe, I’ve found a pupil, a general’s daughter. She is a sweet girl. I’m to give three lessons a week and get $5 a lesson. ” But Joe was not glad.
“But how about me?” he said.
“Do you think I’m going to watch you work while I play with my art? No, I want to earn some money, too. ”
“Joe, you are silly, ” said Delia.
“You must keep at your studies. We can live quite happily on $15 a week. ”
“Well, perhaps I can sell some of my pictures, ” said Joe.
Every day they parted in the morning and met in the evening. A week passed and Delia brought home fifteen dollars, but she looked a little tired.
“Clementina sometimes gets on my nerves. I’m afraid she doesn’t practice enough. But the general is the best old man! I wish you could know him, Joe. ”
And then Joe took eighteen dollars out of his pocket.
“I’ve sold one of my pictures to a man from Peoria, ” he said,
“and he has ordered another. ”
“I’m so glad, ” said Delia.
“Thirty-three dollars! We never had so much to spend before. We’ll have a good supper tonight. ”
Next week Joe came home and put another eighteen dollars on the table. In half an hour Delia came, her right hand in a bandage.
“What’s the matter with your hand?” said Joe. Delia laughed and said,
“Oh, a funny thing happened! Clementina gave me a plate of soup and spilled some of it on my hand. She was very sorry for it. And so was the old general. But why are you looking at me like that, Joe?”
“What time this afternoon did you burn your hand, Delia?”
“Five o’clock, I think. The iron—I mean the soup—was ready about five. Why?”
“Delia, come and sit here, ” said Joe. He drew her to the couch and sat beside her.
“What do you do every day, Delia? Do you really give music lessons? Tell me the truth. ”
She began to cry.
“I couldn’t get any pupils, ” she said,
“So I got a place in a laundry ironing shirts. This afternoon a girl accidentally set down an iron on my hand and I got a bad burn. But tell me, Joe, how did you guess that I wasn’t giving music lessons?”
“It’s very simple, ” said Joe.
“I knew all about your bandages because I had to send them upstairs to a girl in the laundry who had an accident with a hot iron. You see, I work in the engine-room of the same laundry where you work. ”
“And your pictures? Did you sell any to that man from Peoria?”
“Well, your general with his Clementina is an invention, and so is my man from Peoria. ”
And then they both laughed.

第二节:下面文章中有5处(第61~65题)需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。
(2017·温州模拟)
A. How to take notes and rewrite in one’s own words
B. Advantages of taking notes
C. Taking some useful notes
D. Taking notes is a help to create new ideas in the future
E. Need to change information from an encyclopedia into one’s own
F. Two ways of writing a note and their advantages
61.
In school and out, many people need to put the information they find in an encyclopedia into words of their own. The student who is writing a composition, the businessman who is writing a report, and the housewife who is preparing a talk for a woman’s club often need the kind of information they find in an encyclopedia. But no one wants what he writes to read as it was copied from an encyclopedia. What you write should read as if it came from you.
62.
Even if you have every intention of rewriting the material in your own words, it is unwise to copy information from an encyclopedia word for word. Instead, write brief notes to remind yourself of the facts you wish to express. Later with the encyclopedia closed, you can expand those notes into sentences and paragraphs of your own.
63.
The advantage of note-taking over copying is that it forces you to think for yourself at least twice—first when you are reading and second when you are using your notes. It is easy to copy a paragraph without being sure of what it means. But to make a note expressing the meaning of a paragraph in your own words requires you to prove to yourself that you have understood that paragraph. Note-taking also helps you to remember what you have read. It is much easier to remember what you have said in a note that someone else has said in a book. Even if the author’s vocabulary is easily understood, it isn’t the vocabulary you naturally think of. Putting his ideas into your vocabulary makes those ideas yours, and yours are the ideas you best remember.
64.
Some people write notes in complete sentences. Others write notes that are phrases of topics. For example, a sentence note on the paragraph above might be “Notes help you remember. ” A topical note for the same paragraph might be “Notes as memory helps” . Both of these are four-word notes, and therefore either has an advantage to save time at the moment of note-taking.
65.
Remember that the purpose of taking notes is always for some future use, often for some future writing that you will do. Notes that make you think as you write are better than notes that merely help you remember information. The thinking writer is the one who creates something new, something that no one can point to and say,
“Oh, I have seen that same paragraph in an encyclopedia. ”

Ask your friend that he can use a glass of water as a musical instrument. Of course, he can’t. Then you take a glass of water. You put your finger in water and then move it slow round the rim of the glass, as shown in the picture. Your finger must not be much wet, but it must not be dry. So you must try many time. At last you will hear clear music which comes from the glass. When your finger moves round the rim, it makes the glass to vibrate and the glass makes a musical voice. The same principle makes the violin or its strings give music. The America scientist Benjaming Franklin made a musical instrument out of glass bowls. He used the different principle.

13. 【解析】选A。考查非谓语动词。句意:根据二月份发表的一项研究, 在美国Facebook的使用者平均有245个朋友。publish和a study之间是动宾关系, 而且是发生过的事情, 因此用过去分词。
14. 【解析】选D。考查定语从句。句意:近年来, 全世界发生了很多灾难, 我想这是全球变暖的结果。这是一个非限制性定语从句。I think是插入语, which在从句中作主语。
15.【解析】选B。考查情景交际。句意:——很抱歉, 我忘记给你买《暮光之城:破晓》的电影票了。——算了吧, 不必在意。it是高考重点也是难点, 除了要掌握它作为代词的用法, 还要注意其与一些动词构成的句型, 如I can’t help it我爱莫能助; Get it了解, 懂得; That’s it说对了; Let it be随它去吧; Forget it算了吧。
16. 【解析】选B。考查动词辨析。句意:因为有多年的工作经验, 杰克胜任这项工作。qualified是qualify的过去分词, 意为 “有资格的, 胜任的” , 符合句意。require要求, 需要; substitute代替, 替换; distribute分配, 分发。
17. 【解析】选B。考查代词。句意:科学家希望, 进一步的研究会加深对这种疾病的了解, 包括它的传播和其他可能涉及的因素。it在此指代前面提到的the disease。
18. 【解析】选A。考查倍数表达法。用as. . . as句型表达倍数, 其语序是:倍数+as +形容词或副词原级+as. . . , 故选A。
19. 【解析】选C。考查主谓一致和特殊句型。together with连接两个主语时, 谓语动词和前一个主语保持一致;
“no sooner had+主语+done. . . +than+一般过去时态” 为常用句型, 其中主句用过去完成时态且为部分倒装语序, 从句用一般过去时态。

本文讲述作者去买维生素时, 爱好钢琴的老太太请求同样弹钢琴的作者为她演奏一曲, 盛情难却, 作者投入所有感情, 力求发挥出自己的最佳水平。一曲终了, 正当作者要离开时, 另一位久病在床的老人却下床向作者道谢。作者深受感动, 同时, 对《心灵回归》这首曲子有了更深的理解。
21.【解析】选C。考查动词。一进房子, 就注意(notice)到靠墙摆放着一台电子琴。notice强调无意中注意到, 正合语境。 “我” 是来买维生素的, 不是专门来看电子琴的。而observe, watch均指有意注意, 强调 “观察; 注视” , D项caught明显不合语境。
22.【解析】选D。考查介词。against在此处意为 “倚着, 靠着” 。电子琴靠墙摆着。这由常识也可判断出来。

27. 【解析】选D。考查动词。此题属于近义词复现。request表示 “请求” , 与下文asked me to play中的asked意思一致。听说 “我” 弹了8年的钢琴, 老太太很想让 “我” 为她弹一曲, 故特意请求 “我” 。而不是 “建议、命令” 等。
28. 【解析】选B。考查动词。老太太请 “我” 为她演奏一曲,
“我” 以为她只是开玩笑, 所以没有放在心上, 只是笑笑而已。买完维生素,
“我” 准备要走了。此时, 老太太提醒(remind) “我” 我们俩刚刚的音乐 “交易(deal)” 。
29.【解析】选D。考查名词。从上题解析可知。
30. 【解析】选A。考查连词。她领 “我” 到放着一架旧钢琴的客厅, 并请 “我” 为她演奏一曲。这儿前后两句之间为并列关系, 而不是转折关系、因果关系或递进关系。

“我” 想了一会儿。for the moment意为 “暂时” , at the moment意为 “此刻, 当时” , at a. . . moment意为 “在一个……时刻” 。
32. 【解析】选A。考查名词。此题属于原词复现。从倒数第二段的 “your music made me feel good” 中的your music可知。另外, 上文提到老太太虽然54岁了, 但仍在学习音乐。当然, 由常识可知, 钢琴演奏的是乐曲。
33. 【解析】选C。考查动词。pour意为 “倾注” , 此词用得很贴切。 “我” 发挥出自己最佳的水平, 尽可能地投入(倾注)自己的感情去演奏。
34.【解析】选B。考查连词。as在此处意为 “当……时候” , 从句中可接短暂性动词, 如此处的step, 而while表 “当……时候” 时, 从句中谓语动词应该用延续性动词。正当 “我” 要走出门时, 听到一个微弱的声音喊道: “年轻人! ”
35.【解析】选A。考查动词。take a step属于固定搭配, 意为 “迈出一步” 。
36.【解析】选A。考查动词。另一位老太太认为 “我” 弹得很优美, 使她感觉很好, 故出来表示感谢。
37. 【解析】选C。考查动词短语。这位老太太一直病得很重, 下床都很难。
38. 【解析】选D。考查副词。因为这位老太太病得很重, 所以走回房间应该动作很慢。

A good relationship benefits us all
As a middle school student, I think it necessary to build a good relationship with our teachers, for it is the teachers who show love and concern for us students in study and life. We students can always seek support and advice from them, from which we benefit and learn a great deal.
In this case, an ideal relationship between teachers and students is very important. In my opinion, this relationship should be one filled with love, care, understanding and respect, so we can exchange ideas freely. To build a relationship of this kind, teachers should become our friends while we students ought to trust teachers and express our feelings frankly. Only by joint efforts can we enjoy a warm relationship between teachers and students, and live a happy and harmonious life.
