　　1． [解析]　结合语境考查连词。注意前面的关键词taller，再由下文内容可知本文主要涉及建塔高度超标的问题。

　　[答案]　than

　　2． [解析]　结合语境考查固定搭配。on display “在展览中”。此处意为“在浙江省的省会杭州展出了该塔的最新蓝图”。

　　[答案]　on

　　3． [解析]　结合语境考查不定冠词的用法。此处a用来表示“一个”。考生应注意名词前设空，答案应首选冠词之类的限定词。

　　[答案]　a

　　4． [解析]　结合语境考查非谓语动词作定语。由谓语动词replaces可知，此处应用propose的分词作定语；building与propose之间为动宾关系，所以用过去分词作定语。

　　[答案]　proposed

　　5． [解析]　结合语境考查which引导非限制性定语从句。which指代前面的the West Lake scenic spot，在后面的定语从句中充当主语。

　　[答案]　which

　　6． [解析]　结合语境考查非谓语动词作宾语。decline后需要接不定式作宾语，意思为“委婉拒绝做某事”。句意：昨天开发商Kerry Property拒绝评论。

　　[答案]　to comment

　　7． [解析]　结合语境考查人称代词。从设空的特点可以看出此处宾语从句中缺少主语，因此答案首选人称代词；由上文中的“Staff from Hangzhou’s municipal urban planning bureau”可得出此处应用they指代表示整体概念的staff“全体职工”。

　　[答案]　they

　　8．[解析]　考查词性转换。从前面的修饰语any可知，此处需要一个名词形式，apply为动词，根据语境可知，此处应用其名词形式application。

　　[答案]　application

　　9． [解析]　结合语境考查介词。take...into consideration”把……考虑在内”。此处意为：开发商应该把整个地区的利益考虑在内。

　　[答案]　into

　　10．[解析]　结合语境考查动词的时态和语态。主句为一般过去时，且stories与动词need之间为动宾关系。此处意为”开发商说要想获得更大的利润需要多建几层塔”。

　　[答案]　were needed

　　阅读理解(2017·山东实验中学一模)

　　Global Positioning Systems (全球定位系统) are now a part of everyday driving in many countries.These satellite­based systems provide turn­by­turn directions to help people get to where they want to go.However，they can also cause a lot of problems，send you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost.Many times，the driver is to blame.Sometimes a GPS error is responsible.Most often，says Barry Brown，it is a combination of the two.

　　Barry Brown is with the Mobile Life Centre in Stockholm，Sweden.He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States.There he borrowed a GPS­equipped car to use during his stay.Mr Brown says，“They just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination.And，then it wasn’t until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived.They actually put their home address in.So again，the GPS is kind of ‘garbage in garbage out’．”

　　Mr Brown says this is a common human error，but what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings，or failures，of GPS equipment.He says，“One problem with a lot of the GPS units is they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn.Because they just give you the next turn，sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it’s going to the wrong place.”

　　Mr Brown says，“One of the things that struck us，perhaps the most important thing was that you have to know what you’re doing when you use a GPS.There are these new skills that people have developed.There are these new competencies (资格) that you need to have to be able to use a GPS because they sometimes go wrong.This goes against a common belief that GPS systems are for passive drivers who lack navigational skills.”

　　Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers，passengers and GPS systems work together.

　　1．According to Barry Brow，in most cases，________are blame for the problems.

　　A．human errors

　　B．GPS errors

　　C．errors caused by both drivers and GPS

　　D．errors caused by putting in a wrong address

　　2．The example of Barry Brown’s friend is used to show that________.

　　A．GPS is nothing but garbage

　　B．GPS is still not accurate enough

　　C．it is difficult for drivers to use GPS equipment

　　D．sometimes drivers are responsible for the problem

　　3．It can be inferred from the second paragraph that________.

　　A．it’s impossible to drive from the east to the west in the US

　　B．Barry Brown’s friend went to Stockholm，Sweden by plane

　　C．given wrong instructions，the GPS will produce wrong results

　　D．GPS systems are for passive drivers who lack navigational skills

　　4．Which of the followings is one of the shortcomings of GPS equipment?

　　A．It just tells the driver to turn once at a time.

　　B．It gives the driver the overview.

　　C．Its screen is too small to be seen clearly.

　　D．It is only suitable for passive drivers.

　　5．What’s the main idea of the text?

　　A．GPS systems are helpful for drivers.

　　B．Driving with GPS can be difficult to navigate (导航)．

　　C．Drivers should understand how GPS systems work.

　　D．Drivers should learn to use GPS systems correctly.

　　【安徽省蚌埠市三县联谊校2017高考二模】

　　Last weekend, a girlfriend that I’ve known since college was visiting. As we left the airport, we had to stop at the grocery for a case of diet soda. On our way to lunch she asked me “Do you think that drinking diet soda makes you fat?”

　　“Depends on whom you ask,” I said. Last year, researchers from the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio reported that adults who drink diet soda did not lose weight. They were actually more likely to become overweight than those adults who did not drink soda at all or those that drink regular soda. In fact, the more diet soda consumed, the more likely someone would become overweight. To be specific, there was a 41% increase in the risk of being overweight for every can or bottle of diet soda consumed daily.

　　In this study, researcher Sharon Fowler followed over 600 normal weight adults ages 25-64 over a seven to eight year period of time. She has a number of theories as to why weight gain may be a result of drinking a zero-calorie beverage:

　　1.Artificial sweeteners may affect your body’s ability to judge how many calories you consume. When no calories are consumed, the body may continue to crave(渴望) what it expected and could lead to overeating.

　　2.

　　Some people give up regular sodas to justify their favorite dessert and still take in too many calories. A regular soda contains about 150 calories while your dessert may be double that in calories easily.

　　3. For others who were gaining weight already, switching to diet soda wasn’t enough to stop the gain.

　　Since her first piece of research, Fowler has tracked another 2000 people with similar results. Do the faux sweet products induce people to want more sweets? Fowler suggests that perhaps it’s not the soft drinks themselves that cause weight gain but that there is some link between diet soda drinking and overweight.

　　64.Why do people give up regular soda and take diet one according to Fowler’s research?

　　A. Some want to gain weight.

　　B. Some want excuses to have dessert.

　　C. Some mistake diet soda as no-calorie drink.

　　D. Diet soda can help people lose weight.
