When Katherine and her daughter drove past Katherine?s beloved old home, she would say, “I?d like to have that house back.” On her 90th birthday, that wish came true.

All Katherine wanted for her 90th birthday was to 36 her childhood home. Her daughter, Emily wasn?t so 37 on the idea. And, as the old saying goes, you can

38 really go home again. However, the mom and daughter often drove from their

39 town to cruise past Katherine?s beloved old home.

One day, as Emily visited her local craft store, inspiration 40 her: Her mother could have her house back---in replica（复制品）41 . Emily connected with Ray Meyers, a local retired dentist with a 42 for woodworking. Ray took precise measurements and 43 details with the help of the current homeowners.

The replica home and the amazing story behind it deserved a special _44 . Emily arranged

a surprise party at which the replica and Katherine would be 45 . But keeping Katherine in the

remember…? and ask her something about the house. She would give details from her memory about the 50 and the color. She would tell me 51 what something looked like or where it was in the house.”

On the very day, Emily went to 52 Katherine to her house. “When we went inside, I was just 53 .”Katherine says. “There was a house load of people singing …Happy Birthday?to me.”Emily presented Katherine with the carefully

54 replica home.

“I just couldn?t believe it,” Katherine says. “I have 55 memories of that house. I have had several family dinners where we eat around it. I now turn on the tiny lights within it. It?s so pretty.” For Katherine, it turned out that it is possible to go home again.

Inspired by the USA’s recent solar eclipse(日蚀)? These equally impressive events and activities will inspire your desire for a visit.

Witness a desert superbloom

Occasionally, the normally dry Mojave Desert, Sonoran Desert, and Chihuahuan Desert will burst into a carpet of yellow, purple, and pink flowers in spring. This is a surperbloom,

and it happens if there’s significant rainfall between September and November. There’s one wildflower bloom every 5.3 years on average, and a superbloom on average once every 11.2 years.

WHERE TO GO: Death Valley National Park, California, the USA

WHEN TO GO: February—March

Watching rockets launching

Every launch is very impressive and exciting because you don’t know what will happen until the last moment. You hear the fire and fury for several minutes—seeing a launch in person is a billion times better than watching on TV. The current hot ticket, though, is going to watch a SpaceX reusable rocket launch, then land back at Cape Canaveral.

WHERE TO GO: Wallops Fights Facility, Virginia or Kennedy Space Center, Florida BEST TIME TO GO: Check https://www.wendangku.net/doc/dc19017832.html, or https://www.wendangku.net/doc/dc19017832.html,

Enjoy a never-ending lightning storm

Think lighting never strikes twice? The odds are more generous over the mouth of the Catatumbo River at Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela, which hosts lighting storms for up to 297 nights a year, thanks to its unique geographical location. “Watching the Catatumbo lightning is an experience you will get nowhere else,”says Jonas Piontek, a German photographer who has travelled there twice to capture the storms. “You are basically isolated from everyone no network, no Internet, no real civilization around. It’s just you and nature, and one of the best shows on Earth.”

WHERE TO GO: Catatumbo Camp, Venezuela

WHEN TO GO: October—November

56.what causes a superbloom to happen in the desert?

A.Steady rainfall in a year.

B. Occasionally rainfall in winter.

C. Heavy rainfall in spring.

If every public interaction were filmed, would the world be a better place? Common sense suggests it would, and to some extent, we already live in such a world, with closed-circuit television cameras everywhere and smart phones in every pocket.

However, the routine filming of everyday life is about to go to

the next level. A number of countries are rolling out body cams

for police officers and other public-facing agencies such as

school.

Private citizens are getting in on the act too: cyclists increasingly wear headcams as an insurance against aggressive drivers. As camera technology gets smaller and cheaper, it isn?t

hard to foresee a future where we?re all filming everything all the time, in every direction. Would that be a good thing?

The available evidence suggests that it discourages behavior such as police brutality. Another upside is that it would be harder to get away with crimes or to escape blame for accidents. But a world on camera could have subtle negative effects. The flood of data we pour into the hands of Google, Facebook and others has already proved a mixed blessing. Those companies would no doubt be willing to upload and store our body-cam data for free, probably with the assistance of machine learning algorithms(算法)---but at what cost to privacy and freedom of choice? Body-cam data could also create a legal mine field. Disputes over the validity and interpretation of police footage(执法镜头)have already surfaced. Eventually, events not caught on camera could be treated as if they didn?t happen, like a tree falling in the forest. Alternatively, footage could be faked or doctored to escape blame or incriminate others.

Of course, there?s always the argument that if you?re not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear. But most people have done something embarrassing, or even illegal, that they regret and would prefer hadn?t been caught on film. People already inspect their social media feeds---or avoid doing anything inadequate in public---for fear of damaging their reputation. Would widespread application of body cams have a further frightening effect on our freedom? The always-on-camera world could even threaten some of the natures that make us human. We are natural gossips and backbiters, and while those might not be desirable behavior, they oil the wheels of our social interactions. Once people assume they are being filmed, they are likely to shut up. We are nowhere near that point yet where everyone will feel they need one as an insurance policy, but we should think hard about whether we really want to say lights, body cam, action.

58.What is the benefit of filming to average people?

A.Promoting the widespread use of smart phones in public.

B.Fighting crimes or bad behavior by providing solid evidence.

C.Guaranteeing cyclists and pedestrians more safety on roads.

D.Encouraging better performance of the police and teaching staff.

59.In the author?s view, the data flooding into tech giants is fairly .

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/dc19017832.html,forting

B. puzzling

C. worrying

D. satisfying

60.Certain undesirable behavior is important because if .

A.functions as an insurance policy

B. warns us not to be caught on film

C. prevents inadequate social behavior

D. motivates human daily communication

A so-called “smart drug” intended to improve cognitiv（e to protect the brain from altitude

sickness.认知的）performance also seems

Even more people are visiting high-altitude sites for work, sport, religious pilgrimages and military can lead to cognitive effects, including memory loss and attention difficulties.

There?s little you can do to prevent these symptoms other than acclimatize—but this takes time and doesn?t always work. A drug called oxiracetam might be the answer.

ShengLi Hu at the Third Military Medical University, Chongqing, China and her colleagues studied the performance of male military personnel at altitude. All lived in towns around 1800 meters above sea level. During the study, they spent eight days at this altitude and then climbed for three days to reach 4000 meters, where they stayed for up to a month.

Twenty participants took oxriacetam three times a day for the first 15 days of the study, while another 20 received no intervention. The man did tests of attention and memory at the start and end of the study and 20 days in, by which time they had been at 4000 meters for nine days.

While all the participants experienced a drop in cognitive ability at 4000 meters, those who took oxiracetam showed a much smaller decline than the control group.

Blood flow measurements indicated that at high altitude, parts of the brain?s cerebral circulatory system contracted and dilated（扩张）in a way that promoted blood flow to the brain stem. This isn?t surprising, since the brain stem plays a critical role in the maintenance of basic vital signs.

The team also found that the brain stem received blood at the expense of areas responsible for more advanced cognitive functions. But in people who took oxiracetam, more arteries dilated, so blood flow throughout the brain rose. This may be how the drug seems to lessen cognitive problems liked with low oxygen.

It isn?t yet known whether diverting blood in this way could have negative effects in the long run.

“The results are striking and imply that oxiracetam may be beneficial for helping to relieve cognitive deficits caused by altitude,” says Timothy Hales at the University of Dundee, UK.

Oxiracetam is not licensed for medical use globally, but it is known to be a mild stimulant, says Hales. “Coca leaves have been used by native Andeans for centuries to overcome altitude sickness and this is attributed to their modest cocaine content. So perhaps it is not surprising that benefit can be derived from another, though mild, stimulant.”

61.The underlined word “acclimatize” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .

A.adapt

B. interact

C. exist

D. object

62.What does the experiment done in China reveal?

A.The higher altitude you are at, the slower your brain will be.

B.At 4000 meters, the two subject groups show no difference.

C.Memory tests are beneficial to relieving attention difficulties.

D.“Smart drug” largely counters negative effects of altitude sickness.

63.According to the passage, the root cause of the cognitive effects lies in .

A.physical tiredness

B. low oxygen content

C. cognitive training

D. extreme high altitude

64.What is the best title for the passage?

A.Fight high anxiety

B. Oxiacetam—a magic drug

C. Keep sharp at altitude

D. Problems on high-altitude sites

If you read The Fault in our stars only to find a young adult romance of Hazel Grace and Augustus Waters, then you definitely underestimate the power of sophisticated symbolism, emotions, and literature John Green offers. I remember someone saying “You

d on’t read a great book; it reads you.”Th

e fault in our stars is one o

f those books. It gives you the concept of what cancers are like, of how children in particular fight them, reveals and reminds you of your first love in life, always the youngest and the most innocent. I will resist my urge to tell you the plot and spoil the whole story, but I promise you every single page here is worth a great deal of excitement, humor and a bunch of other stuff listed down here which I think are interesting.

The book gives lives to where we find deaths. The joy of living comes in when terminal cancer is nothing more than just, “a side effect of dying”, when you can laugh in the misfortunes of disease and say “ I?m on a rollercoaster that only goes up, my friend.”The fault in our stars, however, stars with Hazel?s “depression” like many of us starts a new day. Thus, Hazel?s mother wants her cancer-stricken daughter to have a life, putting her in the Support Group. Later on, Issac and Augustus give her hope and something to believe in. The friendship tied by the shared intellectual curiosity and dreams. The story is so carefully plotted that even though Hazel doesn?t go to school like other kids, her life is so in touch with ours. Everyone in a while will feel as if everything goes wrong, that it sucks at being what it?s supposed to be. Bad grades, getting dumped, or even having a terminal disease. “The pain demands to be felt.” But after all, how long should it take us to give sufferings a break is subject to be viewed personally, since it would determine whether or not we become a type of Peter Van Houten, Hazel?s favorite writer in the novel.

John Green also cares about your dreams and ambitions. As you read through chapters, especially toward the end, you will find out Hazel and Augustus have widely different ideas of what they think is a “good life.” Here I find a reflection of my soul in Augustus?s, with all his desire to leave a mark on the world. Such a guy he is seeking for glories and meanings of life, fearing most oblivion. Others may find themselves, in contrast, caring not about recognition. They are like Hazel Grace, seeing heroism as an act of noticing and loving and sharing. Both

ideas are beautiful and proofed to be fearless to be together despite any mental or physical challenges lying on their way to the pursuit of happiness.

①“Apparently, the world is not a wish-granting factory.” The book embraces the restless, innocent desires of young minds.

②Would you care for a trip to Amsterdam

when you?re at the 4th stage of cancer to find out what happens after the end of your favorite book? Would you dare to love the dying, to be okay to love when you?re dying, or to forgive

yourself for hurting those who love you in case you die?

③_ In the book, you will find

John Green mentions about how “some infinities are greater than other infinities,”which means, I think, infinities can be defined, expanded and shrunk. _ ④

Infinities are created

by taking chances, and if we fail while doing so, then the fault is simply in out stars, not ourselves.

Funny, romantic, unputdownable and profound, The fault in our stars is definitely one of the best young adult fiction books in the century. It may touch the readers in many different ways. In here some will find humor, some will find encouragement, and some will find a book as a bond for a new love story. But if you insist that you only want to read a good love story in The fault of in our stars, that?s fine too. It?s an excellent book that reminds us of those who are important.

65.The underlined part in Paragraph 1 implies

A.readers? views tend to vary on the same book

B.readers choose books based on their tastes

C.books are created to cater to different needs

D.books can reflect readers? life

66.According to John Green, what is the basis for the friendship between Hazel and Augustus?

A.Dreaming of the same good life.

B.Suffering from the common disease.

C.Being curious and enterprising in life.

D.Being attracted to each other for uniqueness.

67.The author believes that he is somewhat like _

A.Hazel

B. Issac

C. Augustus

D. Peter Van Houten

68.Where does the sentence “We can all learn a lot from how Hazel and Augustus take chances and make the best out of them.” belong?

A. ①

B. ②

C. ③

D. ④

69.What is to blame if we fail to create infinities?

A.Our luck.

B. Our desire

C. Our ability.

D. Our identity.

70.Who is the book The fault in our stars mainly intended for?

A.Patients with terminal diseases.

B.Kids wishing for a bright future.

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：请将答案写在答题卡相应题号的横线上，每个空格只填一个单词。

Everything we do involves risk. In our professional lives, trying to avoid risk is itself a risk: work too cautiously, and we risk missing the chance to grow and shine, and our careers may suffer for it.

We cannot avoid risk yet we often avoid thinking about it. That is a shame, because if we think strategically about risk, we can use it to increase our chances of coming through difficult situations with our goals intact. Rather than pretending risk doesn?t exist, why not learn to manage it to our own benefit?

The first step: Acknowledge the risks your projects face. Start by writing a list of the things that can go wrong. That may sound gloomy, but it?s essential. Your list need to be very thorough, and probably never can be. But try to identify common risks-like the departure of a key colleague for a new job or the failure of a new technique upon which your project depends. The types of risks you identify will depend on the specifics of your work.

Once you have a list of risks, evaluate each one in two scales:

Likelihood. Force yourself to honestly assess how likely each risk is.

Impact. Then think about how much damage could occur under each situation.

Now it?s time to draft a second, more-detailed list. Go back through your initial list and consider how you might make each potential negative outcome less likely to occur, and also how you might minimize the damage to your project if one does happen. In

project-management term, this step is known as risk mitigation. A mitigation is anything that makes a risk less likely to spoil your overall goal.

Once you have drafted your list of mitigations, the final step is to go down that list and think about which ones are “worth it”. Look at all the information you?ve gathered about your risks and mitigations, and make a call about what it makes sense to do. You probably

have more intuition in this area than you realize, because most of us instinctively do

risk-mitigation calculations in the nonwork areas of our lives. For instance, every time you decide whether or not to buy a guarantee on a new electronic toy, you ?re doing this calculation in your head.

You have probably been intuitively doing some sort of risk analysis in your work life, too. Moving to a more explicit analysis (but one that is more qualitative than

quantitative-unless you like to play with numbers) can encourage you to acknowledge when you ?re making overly optimistic assumptions. And this gives you a better chance to make plans that will withstand the failure of at least a couple of those assumptions.

Bringing your risk analysis out from the field of intuition can also help you overcome a tendency to overly ignore risk. It is easier to go ahead and take a big risk when you know that you have mitigations in place and a backup plan if things go wrong.

Thinking about risk can be a big scary, but really, ignoring risk is the riskiest behavior of all.

Libraries have played an important role in helping generations of immigrants ，young people ， job seekers and readers to learn ，stay connected and get ahead in life. Offering access to books ， newspaper and ，later ，computers ，they opened up a world of knowledge and ideas for

millions of people. The public library transcends national and cultural boundarie — no matter where you are in the world ，they are an essential part of creating and maintaining an educated and literate population.

But today ，public libraries are at a turning point. The way we access and consume information has changed dramatically in the 21st century ，and this presents major challenges and opportunities for public library systems across the world.

【解析】本题考查独立主格结构。句意，“一场大雪之后，白雪覆盖了小村庄，游客们发现他们步入了一个美轮美奂的仙境。”先看选项，都是blanket 的非谓语动词形式，观察句子，逗号右边是个完整的句子；而左边也有主格white snow，因此我们知道要判断white snow 和blanket 作“覆盖”讲时的关系，不难分析，二者应该是主动关系，BC 选项皆为被动，D 表示将来，时态不对，因此答案是A。【点评】本题难度适中。在做此类题型时，考生首要判断语态，即主被动，再考虑时态即可。

29.The best books are treasures of good words and golden thoughts, , remembered and cherished, become our constant companions.

A.that

B. which

C. where

D. where

【答案】B

【解析】本题考查非限制性定语从句。句意：最好的书籍都是财富，富有金玉良言，闪光思想，让我们铭记它，视其为珍宝，并成为我们永恒的伴侣。不难判断remembered，cherished，become 这三个词之前需要主语，排除B,C 选项，此题是非限制性定语从句，因此不能选that，答案是B。

【点评】本题难度一般，找到从句所缺成分为主语，且分析该句是非限制性定语从句，不难选择。

30.During my first year abroad, I was so busy studying and meeting new people that I did not phone my parents as often as _.

A.should

B. would

C. should have

D. would have

【答案】C

【解析】本题考查情态动词。句意“在国外留学的第一年，我忙于学习和与新朋友见面，我打电话给父母的次数没有我本应该的那么多。”这个句子时态是过去时，补充完整应该是“…as often as I should have phoned”，“should have done”表示本应该做某事而实际上没有。

【点评】本题难度较低，可以算作一道送分福利题，要注意不能简单的根据题意选择A，要注意这个句子的时态是过去时。

31.---David has been _since he got the offer in this company.

---He has to. You know, the boss is a fault-finder.

A.facing the music

B. crying for the moon

C. walking on eggshell

D. waking a sleeping dog

【答案】C

【解析】本题考查习语。句意“---自从进了这个公司，David 就一直过着提心吊胆的日子，十分小心谨慎。---那没办法，你知道，他的老板是个吹毛求疵的人。”walking on eggshells ，这个不难猜出，在鸡蛋壳上行走，那必须是小心谨慎，因为情形十分微妙和危险。Face the music 是“勇敢的面对困难”，crying for the moon“痴人说梦，异想天开”之意，“waking a sleeping dog”是“招惹是非”（let the sleeping dog lie 不要打草惊蛇，别多事）。

【点评】难度一般，因为基本可以猜出含义，习语平时要多多积累。

32.Men who stay fit can lower their risk of dying from a heart condition by 30% as compared with those who are .

A.out of order

B. out of place

C. out of shape

D. out of control

【答案】C

【解析】此题考查动词短语。句意“保持身材比身材走形的人可以降低30%死于心脏病风险”。这题很容易，只要区分各个选项含义即可。out of order 发生故障，秩序混乱；out of place 不合适，不相称；out of shape 身材走样，身体欠佳；out of control 失控。

【点评】此题很简单，是送分题。

33.Most people have to get to a point where they don?t have a choice

they will change something.

A.since

B. before

C. while

D. once

【答案】B

【解析】本题考查状语从句。梳理句意，多数人都要经历一种走投无路的时刻，才会做出改变。

【点评】本题难度适中。这道题主要考察before 在状语从句中表示“…才…”的意思。

34.Our health is we make of it — give it attention and it improves; give it none and it weakens.

A.what

B. whether

C. how

D. who

【答案】A

【解析】本题考查名词性从句。句意“健康就在于你如何对待它，多给它一点关心，它就善待你；不闻不问，它就亏待你”。

【点评】本题难度一般，很常规的名词性从句。试看例句，Time is what you make of it. 时间在于你怎样利用它。（一则手表广告）

35.---Making a computer program is a Herculean task for me. Can you give me a hand?

--- Oh, . Turn to Jackson, who is an expert in it.

A.it counts for nothing

B. it?s not the case

C. it doesn?t hurt to ask

D. it?s all Greek to me

【答案】D

【解析】本题考查俗语。梳理句意，“---编程对我来说简直太难了，你能帮帮我吗？---噢，我也一窍不

通啊，去问Jackson 吧，他是这方面的专家”。联系四个选项，A. it counts for nothing “一文不值”，

B.it?s not the case “情况并非如此”，

C. it doesn?t hurt to ask “问问没有坏处”，皆不符合题意，

D. it?s all Greek to me “一窍不通”，符合题意。

【点评】本题简单。这道题选项平时都出现过，要做好积累。

题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答

首段大意：每当Katherine 和女儿Emily 开车经过Katherine 最心爱的旧房子时，Katherine 总会说“好想再回去住”。在她九十大寿当天，她居然梦想成真了。

36.A. access B. decorate C. build D. own

【答案】D

【解析】本题考查动词辨析。根据句意“对于九十岁生日，Katherine 唯一想的就是再回到儿时的房子住”可知，D 选项own 最符合题意，且与首段“... have that house back.”相呼应。A 项“入口、接近、进入”；B 项“装饰、装潢”；C 项“建造、建立”均不符题意。

37.A. keen B. soft C. dependent D. hard

【答案】A

【解析】本题考查形容词短语“be … on”。根据本句和下一句的句意可知，Katherine 的女儿Emily 并不同意她的看法，be keen on“对…喜爱、对…感兴趣”，故正确答案选A。C 项be dependent on 依赖、依靠；D 项be hard on 对…苛刻。B 选项没有这种搭配。

38.A. generally B. sometimes C. frequently D. never

【答案】D

【解析】本题考查副词的用法。在Emily 看来“再也回不去了”，因此D 项符合题意。A 项“一般地、通常”；B 项“有时”；C 项“频繁地、屡次地”均不符题意。

39.A. primary B. temporary C. current D. permanent

【答案】C

【解析】本题考查形容词的用法。A 项“首要的、基本的”；B 项“暂时的、临时的”；C 项“目前的、现在的”；D 项“永恒的、永久的、稳定的”。结合句意“虽然不能再回去住，但是Katherine 和Emily 经常开车从她们现在住的小镇经过老房子”。故正确答案选择C。

【解析】本题考查动词辨析。A 项“克服”；B 项“撞、打、罢工、猛然想起”；C 项“失败、衰退”；

41.A. appearance B. pattern C. outline D. form

【答案】D

【解析】本题考查名词（短语）。根据句意“以复制品的形式”可知，in … form“以…的形式”符合题意，故正确答案选D。A 项“出现、外貌”；B 项“图案、花纹、模式”；C 项“大纲、提纲、概要”。

【答案】B

【解析】本题考查动词词义辨析。A 项“创作、组成、为…谱曲”；B 项“编辑、编纂、编制”；C 项“承诺、保证、全身全意投入、犯罪”；D 项“对比、比较”。根据句意“在现有房主的帮助下，Ray 对房子结构进行了精确地测量，并对细节进行了详细地考究”。

【答案】A

【解析】本题考查名词辨析。A 项mention“提及、提到”；B 项analysis“分析”；C 项research“研究”；

【答案】D

【解析】本题考查动词词义辨析。A 项“向（某人）道贺；（为成就或成功）感到高兴”；B 项“感激、欣赏”；C 项“陈列、展览”；D 项“为…庆祝”。Emily 安排了一个特殊的聚会，并在聚会上同时为新房子和Katherine 的寿辰庆祝。

46.A. back B. shadows C. clouds D. dark

【答案】D

【解析】本题考查名词搭配。前文提到Emily 为Katherine 安排了一个surprise party，由此可以推断出这句话的意思是把Katherine 瞒住是一个艰巨的工作。Keep in the dark 为固定搭配，意思为隐瞒；对……

保密。符合题意。B 选项阴影；C 选项云；D 选项后面，背部，均不符合题意。

47.A. expectation B. process C. advance D. destination

【答案】B

【解析】本题考查名词。前一题说到Emily 要给自己的母亲准备房子的复制品，这边就在展开具体计划的流程，包括Ray 会问什么问题，怎么从母亲那儿得知房子的颜色和细节等等，因此四个选项中只有B 选项process 过程；步骤符合题意。A 选项期望；C 选项发展，前进，增长；D 选项目的地均不符合题意。

48.A. because B. till C. as if D. so that

【答案】A

【解析】本题考查连词。根据句子前后逻辑关系，我不能记住所有事情（房子的细节）和最后一次在房子里面的时候我还是一个青少年之间是先果后因的关系。因为我青少年之后就不再住在老房子里了，因此我遗忘了房子的细节。选A。B 直到；C 似乎，好像；D 因此均不符合题意。

49.A. visit with B. stick with C. deal with D. hold with

【答案】A

【解析】本题考查词组搭配。根据上下文，为了知道房子的细节，作者准备通过与母亲聊天的方式

（见后文中conversation）来得知母亲对于房子细节的记忆（见后文give details from her memory），因此本空应该选填A 选项，visit with，意思为看望，在……家里做客，与……交谈，聊天。B 选项意

为坚持，继续做；C 选项处理；D 选项支持，赞同均不符合题意。

50.A. management B. equipment C. arrangement D. measurement

【答案】C

【解析】本题考查名词。根据上下文，作者希望从母亲那儿知道有关房子的颜色以及房间布局的细节（根据下文where it was in the house 可得知），因此选C，arrangement 布置，安排方式。要注意不要误选D 选项，measurement，尺寸，因为作者的母亲在回忆房子细节的时候只能回忆起颜色和布局等，而不会具体到尺寸多少。B 选项设备，装备，器材（不符合家居环境背景）；D 选项管理不符合题意。

51.A. briefly B. partly C. thoroughly D. vaguely

【答案】C

【解析】本题考查副词。可以用代入法一一排除。当和母亲聊起房子细节的时候，她一定会

告诉我所有有关颜色和布局的细节。A 选项短暂地，简略地；B 选项部分地，在一定程度上地；C 选项完全地，彻底地；D 选项模糊地，不明确地。根据文章大意，母亲一直都心心念念老房子，对于

谈到这个话题一定是知无不言的，因此选C 最符合题意。

52.A. fetch B. join C. welcome D. receive

【答案】A

【解析】本题考查动词。当天，Emily 把母亲接到了自己家并给她展示礼物，因此这个空应该表示“接”的意思，只有A 接来符合题意。B 选项加入；C 选项欢迎（虽然welcome sb to 有欢迎某人来的意思，但是没有接的意思，因为是在Emily 的家中为Katherine 准备礼物，需要将Katherine 带过来）。D 选项收到。均不符合题意。

53.A. embarrassed B. shocked C. inspired D. confused

【答案】B

【解析】本题考查形容词。当Katherine 进门，看到许多人在屋里唱生日歌的时候，当时的感受应该是“shocked”，震惊的；震撼的。A 选项尴尬的；C 选项有灵感的；D 选项困惑的均不符合题意。

54.A. sorted B. wrapped C. folded D. restored

【答案】B

【解析】本题考查形容词。Emily 把她细心的复制品递给了Katherine。既然是礼物，而且是细心准备的礼物，应该是细心包裹的，因此选B。A 选项挑选的不符合题意，因为本文的礼物并非挑

选，而是专门制作的。C 选项折叠的；D 选项精力充沛的均不符合题意。

55.A. recent B. distant C. fond D. selective

【答案】C

【解析】本题考查形容词搭配。Have fond memories of sth/sb 的意思是对某事／某人有愉快的回忆，符合文中Katherine 对老房子的感觉。其他选项recent（最近的），distant（遥远的）和selective（选择性的）都不符合题意。

【点评】本篇完型填空难度中等偏上。与往年同期相比，生词和难词的考查比重相对减少，而重点考查了平时大家所熟悉的单词及其搭配用法，容易出错。例如keep sb. in the dark, visit with sb., fetch sb. to 等。在回归基础的同时，又强化了对词汇活用的考查。同学们在平时一定要重视积累，全面掌握考纲词

汇及其在具体语境的活用。
