　　A. which; what

　　C. what; which

　　D. which; that

　　答案：B　考查从句。句意：把他的年收入的一半捐给残疾人的承诺被证实是谎言，这让公众有上当受骗的感觉。由句意可知，第一空为同位语从句，同位语从句多由that引导；第二空为非限制性定语从句，which指代前面整个句子。

　　29．(2017·台州二调)Knowing they couldn't understand what I had said, I gave several examples and________I got my idea across.

　　A. eventually

　　B. occasionally

　　C. constantly

　　D. generally

　　A．kept

　　B．is keeping

　　C．had kept

　　D．keeps

　　B．hadn't known

　　C．don't know

　　D．haven't known

　　答案：A　考查时态。句意：对不起，我本打算早来，但是我不知道你在等着我。由句意可知，but在此处表示暗含条件if I had known that you were waiting，而此处but后的内容是真实内容，所以选一般过去时。

　　35．(2017·台州二调)“Without Chinese toys, kids around the world________not have so much happiness.” said an European Union official.

　　A. would

　　B. should

　　C. will

　　D. shall

　　答案：A　考查虚拟语气。句意：一位欧盟官员说“如果没有中国制造的玩具，全世界的孩子将不会这么高兴。”由句意可知，“如果没有中国制造的玩具”是一种对现在的事实的假设，所以主句用“would＋动词原形”表虚拟语气。

　　第二节：完形填空(共20小题：每小题1.5分，满分30分)

　　阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

　　Well, our__39__is for sale and the last thing we needed was for something to__40__.

　　He was so__41__and tried with all his strength to get it__42__together, using a few less than pleasant words (I am sorry to say). After twenty minutes he still could not get it__43__. That's when my 23­year­old__44__told his dad to__45__for a minute and he would try to fix it with me.

　　It's amazing how you can see things more clearly and do things more__46__when you are__47__. He and I fixed the window in three minutes! I called my husband in to see! He couldn't__48__it!

　　I know this isn't really a gift__49__， in a way, it was. My son__50__my husband to leave to cool down, and__51__him from the worry for a moment. And my son fixing it with me was a__52__to me, because I saw him as a man__53__the kid he always seems to be in my__54__.

　　Calm is good. Breathe through difficult times and maybe even take a break from stressful times. Return with a clear mind and things will usually__55__much better!

　　36．A.windows B．tables

　　37．A.dry B.clean

　　C． smooth

　　D．destroy

　　答案：B　第一段提到：昨天“我”和丈夫一起擦窗子。由此可知是便于“我们”“擦洗”窗户的里面和外面。故clean“把……擦干净”符合语境。

　　38．A.painting

　　B.repairing

　　C． washing

　　D．changing

　　答案：C　由文章第一段可知，夫妻二人正在擦洗窗户，此处指的应该是“我”的丈夫正在“洗”一扇窗户。故wash“冲；洗”符合语境。

　　39．A.car B．home

　　C． house

　　D．family

　　答案：C　由语境可知应该是“我们”的“房子”要出售。

　　40．A.fly B．lose

　　C． dirty

　　D．break

　　答案：D　由前面的“...and it popped out of its frame！”可知，窗子坏了。故此处应该表示“我们”最不需要的事情就是东西“坏了”。break“打破、弄坏”符合语境。

　　41．A.interested B．delighted

　　C． excited

　　D．worried

　　答案：D　由下文中的“...，using a few less than pleasant words(I am sorry to say)。”可知，丈夫感到那么地不安(worried)。

　　B.away

　　C． out D．up

　　答案：A　由上文中提到的“it popped out of its frame！”应该使窗户恢复原样。get...back意为“恢复”符合语境。

　　B.fixed

　　C． delivered

　　D．separated

　　答案：B　由下文中的“...he would try to fix it with me.”可知，丈夫尽力把窗户“安装”在一起。

　　D．fortunately

　　答案：A　由前面的“clearly”及后面的语境可知应该用“easily”合适。

　　47．A.frightened

　　B.nervous

　　48．A.satisfy B．believe

　　C． doubt

　　D．hate

　　答案：B　由第三段中的“After twenty minutes he still couldn't get it...，”可知丈夫二十分钟后仍没能把窗户安装好。再由下文中的“He and I fixed the window in three minutes！”可知，他无法“相信”。

　　D．or

　　答案：A　由上下文语境可知是转折关系。故选but。

　　50．A.promised

　　答案：D　由上下文语境可知，应该是儿子让自己的父亲走开一会儿……。

　　51．A.kept B．freed

　　C． saved

　　答案：B　儿子帮助父亲从焦虑中摆脱出来。free...from...意为“使……摆脱……”符合语境。而 keep... from...“阻止某人……”；protect...from...“保护……免受……”；save...from...“从……挽救……”均不符合语境。

　　53．A.surprise

　　B.wonder

　　C． gift

　　D．hurt

　　答案：C　由本段第一句知，我知道这并不真的是一份礼物，但是在某一方面来说，它又是。故推知，“我”的儿子和“我”一起修理窗户，对“我”而言是一份“礼物”。

　　(2017·稳派教育新课改质检)

　　While both Europe and the United States of America are considered the Western World, Europeans and Americans differ in many ways.

　　Metric(公制的)system.

　　The metric system is taught in American schools. However, most people in the United States use the old English Imperial(英制的) system of measure which includes yards, feet, miles, pounds, and Fahrenheit. European countries, however, use the metric system which is meters, grams, liters, and Celsius.

　　Time and history.

　　For example, a house in the United States that is 200 years old would be considered ancient. This is probably because America is a fairly young country. However, in Europe, something would not be considered ancient unless it was at least 2,000 years old.

　　Education and political issues.

　　In America, parents may save for many years and even go into debt to pay for their children to attend college. Most schools and universities in Europe, however, are free of tuition. In fact, it when referring to alcohol, soft drinks and drugs, Europeans do not take them major issues. In America, however, those things are regularly debated. Americans are allowed to have firearms, while this is illegal in Europe. The average age for driving in Europe is eighteen years of age, but sixteen in the US.

　　Food.

　　European countries tend to be more cultural in their dishes, with specialties that are localized(地方特色的). Their meals are generally more balanced than Americans and they eat less fast food. They also enjoy eating more cheese, yogurt and wines than Americans.

　　Religion.

　　Many Americans think of church as a social event. In the United States, politicians frequently mention God, the Bible, and religion. Quite the opposite is true in Europe. There is a very strict separation between politics and religion in Europe, politicians there never mention religion.

　　文章大意：美国与欧洲尽管都是西方国家，但两者在度量衡、历史观、政治问题及宗教等方面存在分歧。

　　59．What is TRUE about Europeans?

　　A. They use Fahrenheit instead of Celsius.

　　B. They eat more fast food than Americans.

　　C. They consider attending college an advantage.

　　D. They think it illegal to take firearms.

　　答案：D　细节理解题。文章第四段倒数第二句说“Americans are allowed to have firearms, while this is illegal in Europe.”，即在欧洲持枪是非法的，因此D项正确。

　　60．We can infer from the passage that________

　　A. There are many ancient buildings in Europe.

　　B. Europeans are eating more healthily than Americans.

　　C. Europeans can drive at a relatively younger age.

　　D. Europeans take going to church part of their social life.

　　答案：B　推理判断题。根据文章第五段第二句“Their meals are generally more balanced than Americans and they eat less fast food”可以判断，欧洲人的饮食比美国人更健康。

　　61．How many aspects were compared in the passage?

　　A. Six.

　　B. Five.

　　C. Seven.

　　D. Four.

　　答案：A　细节理解题。文章围绕度量衡、历史观、教育、政治问题、饮食、宗教等六个方面对欧洲与美国进行了对比，因此A项正确。

　　62．What is this passage mainly about?

　　A. Similarities and differences

　　B. A young country—America

　　C. One world, different ways

　　D. A safer and healthier Europe

　　答案：C　主旨大意题。综合全文内容分析判断，尽管美国与欧洲各有特点，但它们都是西方国家。故选C。

　　(2017·四川眉山一诊)

　　Cheating is nothing new.But today, educators and administrators are finding that instances of academic dishonesty on the part of students have become more frequent and are less likely to be punished than in the past .Cheating appears to have gained acceptance among good and poor students alike.

　　Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows .Some blame the trend on a general loosening of moral values among today's youth.Others have attributed increased cheating to the fact that today's youth are far more pragmatic(实用主义的) than their more idealistic predecessors(前辈)．While in the late sixties and early seventies, students were filled with visions about changing the world, today's students feel great pressure to conform(随大流) and succeed.In interviews with students at high schools and colleges around the country, both young men and women said that cheating had become easy.Some suggested they did it out of spite for teachers they did not respect; others looked at it as a game.Only if they were caught, some said, would they feel guilty.“People are competitive.” said a second­year college student named Anna, from Chicago.There's an underlying fear .If you don't do well, your life is going to be ruined .The pressure is not only from parents and friends but from yourself.To achieve.To succeed.It's almost as though we have to outdo other people to achieve our own goals.

　　Edward Wynne, editor of a magazine blames the rise in academic dishonesty on the schools.He claims that administrators and teachers have been too hesitant to take action.Dwight Huber, chairman of the English department at Amarillo sees the matter differently, blaming the rise in cheating on the way students are evaluated.“I would cheat if I felt I was being cheated，” Mr.Huber said.He feels that as long as teachers give short­answer tests rather than essay questions and rate students by the number of facts they can memorize rather than by how well they can combine information, students will try to beat the_system. “The concept of cheating is based on the false assumption that the system is reasonable and there is something wrong with the individual who's doing it，” he said, “That's too easy an answer.We've got to start looking at the system.”

　　文章大意：本文对越来越多的学生作弊现象进行了剖析。有些人将之归咎于现代青年人道德价值观普遍松弛。另一些人则将之归咎于现在的学生比过去的学生更为实际。还有些人认为这种上升趋势应归咎于校方评估学生的方式。

　　63．Educators are finding that students who cheat________.

　　A.are more likely to be punished than before

　　B.have poorer academic records than before

　　C.can be academically weak or strong

　　D.use the information in later years

　　答案：C　细节理解题。文章第一段最后一句话提到，学生不论成绩优劣，似乎都认可作弊行为，因此选C“成绩优或者劣的学生”符合原文意思。

　　64．According to the passage, youth cheat because of________.

　　A.the eagerness to succeed

　　B.the easiness to cheat

　　C.the fear of competition

　　D.the impossibility to be punished

　　答案：A　推理判断题。文中提到了多种学生方面的作弊原因。只有A的表达与原文相符，可以回答题干的问题。B是文中提到的内容，但不是原因。学生们恐惧的是失败，不是竞争，不选C。作弊受惩罚可能性小了但不是没有，所以不选D。

　　65．What does the underlined part“the system” refer to?

　　A.The education system.

　　B.The school system.

　　C.The system by which schools punish cheating.

　　D.The system by which students are evaluated.

　　答案：D　语义理解题。原文说Huber将作弊现象的原因归咎于评估学生的方式，后面引用他的话说明他的观点，学生们如果觉得考题和评分标准不理想，他们就会设法击败该制度。考题和评分标准正是学生评估体系的内容。

　　66．Which of the followings would Dwight Huber probably agree with?

　　A.The educational system is sound and students must follow every rule.

　　B.parents alone must take responsibility for the rise in student cheating.

　　C.There should be some changes in the evaluation system.

　　D.Students who cheat should be expelled from school.

　　答案：C　推理判断题。第三段中将作弊现象增加的原因归咎于评估学生的方式，最后说应该对这个体系加以审视。可以推测C正确。

　　D

　　(2017·稳派教育新课改质检)

　　Having a hobby helps to make you a more interesting person and gives you something fascinating to talk about with others. It can also help you to avoid feeling bored and often provides the opportunity to meet new people with similar interests. Learning something new is always good for keeping the mind alert and active, as is maintaining a long­term interest in something that attracts you. This will also make you more of an interesting person than a person who is addicted to MySpace, watching TV, or doing other time wasting and unhealthy tasks.

　　Think of a hobby that might interest you. It might be an interest that you always wished you had time to explore, but never had the time or money required to pursue your interest.

　　Collect things for a fashion magazine. Look at the walls in your post office, and think about collecting stamps and what you might need to do to start and maintain a stamp collection. Think of other items you might like to collect, for example, coins, dolls or chocolate wrappers.

　　________________.

　　Have you ever gone to a museum, looked at the paintings on the walls, and wondered if you could do the same thing? How about trying painting for yourself—in oils or watercolors? Or maybe try drawing with charcoal or colored pencils.

　　Enjoy sport as a hobby. Watch soccer, basketball, golf, athletics or tennis tournaments on television or at your local sports ground. Do you feel that a sport is something that you would love to learn? Think about what it would cost, and the time it would take to learn and play. Do you have the funds available for this type of hobby? Would you have the patience it would take to really learn to play or train for any of these sports? Would you rather play a team sport or an individual sport? Maybe there are friends or family members who already have equipment and uniforms you can have, as well as tips for how to begin your chosen sport. Ask them about their experiences and listen to their suggestions.

　　文章大意：本文主要介绍了爱好对一个人的好处，以及怎样找到适合自己的一个业余爱好等。

　　67．It is implied in the first paragraph that________.

　　A. having a hobby will waste a lot of time.

　　B. a hobby will mean a lot of unexpected chances

　　C. a hobby is no more than a time­killing activity

　　D. having a hobby will do you good a lot

　　答案：D　推理判断题。根据第一段第三句的“Learning something new is always good for keeping the mind alert and active”和“This will also make you more of an interesting person than a person who is addicted to MySpace, watching TV...”等可知这一段主要讲的是有一个爱好对一个人的好处。

　　68．Which of the following is most suitable for the blank?

　　A. Discover art for a hobby.

　　B. Learn art in a museum.

　　C. Make art in your own community.

　　D. Copy art from other painters.

　　答案：A　细节判断题。从第四段的“...a museum, the paintings，in oils or watercolors，charcoal or colored pencils”等可知是属于艺术方面的，故选A。

　　69．The questions in the 5th paragraph are used to________.

　　A. show the curiosity of the writer about sports.

　　B. present some advice for you to consider.

　　C. express the doubt of the writer about sports.

　　D. provide some choices on sports activity.

　　答案：B　细节理解题。结合最后一段第三句的“Do you feel that a sport is something that you would love to learn？”“Would you rather play a team sport or an individual sport？”可知这些问题的提出是为了给读者考虑的建议。

　　70．The purpose of writing this passage is to________.

　　A. introduce the importance of a hobby

　　B. explain how a hobby is developed

　　C. teach us how to find a hobby

　　D. prove the effect of a hobby on a person

　　答案：C　写作意图题。本文主要介绍了一个业余爱好的好处，以及如何找到适合自己的爱好的各种建议等，所以C项符合意图。

　　(2017·安徽省皖南高三联合测评)

　　Did you know tigers are the largest living species of cat? Bengal tigers aren't the biggest, but they are still pretty large. The males weigh 180 to 258 kg and females weigh 100 to 150 kg.

　　Adult male tigers are larger than adult females. Another thing that is different about male tigers is that they have a ruff of hair around their necks.

　　Have you ever heard a tiger roar(嚎叫)? If you have then you know what a loud and sometimes scary sound it can be. Tigers roar for many reasons. They actually roar less often than lions. This is because lions live in groups and most tigers spend a lot of time alone. One of the reasons their roar is so loud is so that it can be heard over long distances. A tiger's roar can be heard for many miles.

　　Here's something really interesting, in 2000, researchers discovered that tigers also communicate in frequencies(频率)that are too low for humans to hear. These frequencies are called infrasounds(次声波). They can travel for really long distances. What's really amazing is that these low sounds go through objects like buildings, forests, and mountains!

　　Besides roaring, tigers also make a growl, hiss, purr and chuff sound. Tigers make the churl sound when greeting other tigers. They roar during the mating (交配) season to communicate over long distances.

　　Tigers also use chemicals to communicate. Males and females mark the boundary of their areas by spraying a mixture of urine (尿液) and scent on trees, grass, and bushes. Tigers also put scratches on tree trunks to mark their boundaries.

　　A tiger's body is built for capturing and killing large prey. Tigers have powerful legs and a flexible backbone. This helps the tigers to quickly chase and catch prey over short distances. Bengals can leap 10 yards and can jump 15 feet in the air.

　　Wild tigers are found only in Asia.

　　Bengal tigers are protected, and they are the national animal of both Bangladesh and India. To help protect the tigers, the government in India had a special conservation program called project Tiger. Due to this project, the population of wild tigers in India now numbers about 3,500 which is up from the 1,200 tigers that lived there in 1970.

　　Tigers can live in almost any climate. They live in large hunting areas. To survive they need water, shade and food. Tigers are found in rainforests, hot, dry woods, and cold, snowy forests.

　　My future plan

　　As we all know, different students have different choices for future jobs. As for me, I prefer to be a farmer in the future.

　　It's well­known that agriculture is essential to people. Without it, people would starve to death. Many people die of hunger in the poor countries. So I'll grow as much grain as I can to help those in hunger. Besides, I'll make full use of what I've learnt to protect the environment, and figure out the best way to all kinds of resources.To reach my goal, I'll study hard, equipping myself with modern knowledge to develop more advanced crops to meet people's demands. I think my job will make a difference in the future.
