1.A.symbol
B.signal

答案:A
2.A.applied to
B.turned to
C.referred to
D.pointed to
解析:“空军一号”有时被称为“飞行中的白宫”。refer to sth.“提到,谈到”,符合语意。apply to“应用于”;turn to“求助于”;point to“指向,暗示”。
答案:C
3.A.smoothly
B.basically
C.practically D.technically
解析:根据下一句“‘空军一号’是无线电呼叫名称”可知,严格来讲,“空军一号”不是一架飞机。technically“严格来讲”;smoothly“顺畅地,流利地”;basically“基本地”;practically“从实际出发”。
答案:D
4.A.fetching
B.carrying
C.searching D.removing
解析:“空军一号”是对运送美国总统的任何一架美国空军飞机的无线电呼叫名称。carry表示“运送,输送”。fetch“拿来”;search“搜索”;remove“移开”。
答案:B
5.A.generally
B.commonly
C.naturally
D.highly
解析:事实上,“空军一号”指的是两架高度定制的波音747-200B系列飞机中的一架。highly“高度地,高水平地”;generally“普通地,通常”;commonly“通常情况下”;naturally“自然而然地”。
答案:D
6.A.Careful
B.Capable
C.Aware
D.Proud
解析:此处是形容词短语作状语,相当于状语从句Because it is capable of refueling in midair,意为:由于在空中能够加油。be capable of“能够,有能力干”。

答案:A
11.A.meanings
B.services
C.choices
D.features
解析:因为“空军一号”运送的是总统,而且某些旅程比较长,所以这种飞机具有很多商务飞机没有的特点。feature指“特征,特点”。

答案:C
14.A.much
B.many
C.little

Ⅱ.阅读理解
(2017·厦门质量检测)Alone Together, an amazing description of our changing relationship with technology, is written by Sherry Turkle, an MIT professor of the Social Studies of Science and Technology.
In the book's first half, devoted to robots, Turkle gives out toys like the Tamagotchi, Furby, and Zhu Zhu robotic hamster (仓鼠),then explores children's deep attachments to the creatures and assessments of whether they are alive. Such quasipets set the psychological stage for what Turkle is really worried about: robot lovers.
One woman even says that if a robot acted like it cared, she'd trade in her boyfriend.
The book's second half explores the “network” — instant messages, social networks, confessional websites, and the like — and how it reshapes the self. Fifteenyearolds send and receive close to 6,000 messages a month.“They communicate all day but are not sure if they have connected.They develop friendships on social networking sites and then wonder if they are among friends.” In texting, a typical question is“Where are you?”, not an openended one like “How are you?” Just as robots produce confusion about whether one is alone or with another, Turkle sighs,
“We_are_connected_to_each_other,_but_strangely_more_alone.”
“What can't be denied (否认) is that technology, with all its faults, makes life a lot easier. It allows us to get in touch with more people in less time;
it can make conversation simple — no small talk required. But are any of those feelings equal to the kind we feel when engaged in a real, facetoface setting? Online, you can ignore others' feelings.
In a text message, you can avoid eye contact. A number of studies have found that this generation of teens is becoming unconcerned. That doesn't spell disaster, but it does mean we might want to start thinking about the way we want to live. We've gone through terribly rapid change, and some of these things just need a little sorting out.”Turkle says.
This book is not to be missed and worthy of every dollar you spend.
语篇解读:科技的发展给人们生活带来了种种便利,但我们又从中失去了什么呢?在作者推荐的这本书中,我们或许能找到些答案。
1.In her book, Turkle worries that ________.
A.the robotic creatures are not alive
B.all women would fall in love with robots
C.children are addicted to keeping animal pets
D.more people are lost in the world of technology
解析:推理判断题。通读全文可知,Sherry Turkle担心人们迷失在现代科技世界中,故答案选D项。
答案:D
2.What can be implied from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?
A.Internet sets us apart from each other.
B.Social network is not the real world.
C.Internet brings us closer to each other.
D.Messages are used a lot in people's daily life.
解析:句意理解题。从第三段的内容可知,虽然互联网把我们联系在一起,但它却隔离着我们,我们都是孤独的个体,故选A。
答案:A
3. If a child keeps using messages a lot, he or she may ________.
A.get engaged in small talks
B.care little for others' feelings
C.get stuck in many disasters
D.well sort out personal relationship
解析:细节理解题。从倒数第二段的“In a text message, you can avoid eye contact...is becoming unconcerned.”可知,如果孩子经常用短信交流,则他/她会很少关注他人的感受,答案选B项。
答案:B
4.The purpose of writing this passage is to ________.
A.recommend a good book to readers
B.urge people to keep away from technology
C.analyze the dangers of keeping robots as lovers
D.explore the relationship between human and technology
解析:写作意图题。从文章最后一段“This book is not to be missed and worthy of every dollar you spend.”可知,写作本文主要是为了推荐Sherry Turkle写的书,所以A项正确。
答案:A
Ⅲ.选做题
任务型读写
Few Americans stay in one place for a lifetime. We move from the city to the suburbs (郊区), from high school to college in a different state, from a job in one area to a better job elsewhere, from the home where we raise our children to the home where we plan to live in retirement. With each move we are forever making new friends, who become part of our new life.
For many of us the summer is a special time for forming new friendships. Today, millions of Americans go on vacation abroad, and we go not only to see new sights but also — in those places where we don't feel too strange — with the hope of meeting new people. No one really expects a vacation trip to produce a close friend, but the beginning of a friendship is possible. Surely in every country people value friendship.
The word “friend” to American people can be applied to
a wide range of relationships — to someone one has known for a few weeks in a new place, to a close business companion, to a childhood playmate, to a man or a woman, or to a trusted colleague. There are real differences among these relations for Americans — a friendship may be shallow, casual, situational or deep and lasting. But to a European, who sees only our surface behavior, the differences are not clear.
As Europeans see it, all kinds of “friends” flow in and out of Americans' homes with little ceremony. They may be parents of the children' s friends, house guests of neighbors, members of a committee, business associates from another town or even another country.
Coming as a guest into an American home, the European visitor finds no obvious landmarks. The atmosphere is relaxed.
Most people, old and young, are called by first names. Americans' characteristic openness to different styles of relationship makes it possible for us to find new friends abroad with whom we feel at home.
Title American Friendship
Chances for
Americans to
make friends Most Americans(1) ________ from place to place.
Many Americans go abroad on vacation for (2)________ or meeting new people.
One (3)________ for a vacation is to begin a friendship.

Being a guest in an American home, the European visitor feels (9)________.
Due to their (10)________ characteristics, Americans find new
friends all over the world.
答案:1.move 2.sightseeing 3.possibility 4.understand/apply 5.widely 6.difference(s) 7.friendship 8.casually
9.comfortable/relaxed 10.open

任务型阅读
What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? __1__ Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings.__2__ If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
__3__ A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.__4__ A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides (自杀) than any other bridge in the area — until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
__5__ It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
A. On the other hand, black is depressing.
B. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as grow up — we are born with our preference.
C. The rooms are painted in different colours as you like.
D. If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.
E. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active.
F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colours.
G. Colours do influence our moods — there is no doubt about it.
