B
Recently，as I watched my son Nathan play basketball for his high school team，I was starting to feel sorry for myself and for him．His team was facing adversity（逆境）on the court and he was playing in a hostile environment-it was the opponent's home gym filled with their supporters，and Nathan's team was trailing（落后）for three quarters of the game．As for me，I had been dismissed from my job earlier in the day．
During my drive home，I kept telling myself that I will find work again in a short time-I am confident in my experience and abilities．This is the same belief that I tried to instill in my son．
The basketball game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan's team still trailing．I saw the determination on his，as well as his teammates'faces as they fought back to not only tie the game（平局），but then go ahead by three points．Then，a player from the other team made an unbelievable shot to tie the game up again．With a tie game and seconds on the clock，Nathan found himself with the ball and with skill and confidence，he proceeded to make the basket with a defender hanging all over him．The other player was called for a foul（犯规）．
As Nathan stood at the foul line preparing for a shot that would put his team up by three points，I saw the focus and determination on his face，there was no room for self doubt．Nathan was able to turn out all the distractions and nail the free throw with such skill，it was as if he had done it a thousand times．
As I sat there，my heart bursting with pride，it dawned on me．I had taught him perseverance in the face of adversity，and he had just taught me the same lesson．That brief moment of self-doubt and feeling sorry for myself was blown away by the actions of my son on the basketball court．He will play in the finals，but it doesn't matter if he wins or loses，at this moment，we both won．

C
'There's no place like home．'This English saying has much truth in it：the best place to be is surrounded by our treasured possessions and our loved ones and with a roof over our head．And for many young adults，it's the only affordable place to stay；somewhere where they can receive first-class service from mum and dad．But this comes at a price!
In some countries，it's quite traditional for people in their late teens and early 20s to live at home with their parents，but in other places，flying the nest to start their own independent life is very desirable．But there's been a growing trend，in the UK at least，for young people to return home to live-or not to leave home at a11．
A survey by a price comparison website found that 18%of adult children in the UK said they were moving back home because of debt，compared with 8%last year．More young people had lost their jobs，and others couldn't afford their rent compared with the previous year．So，it's easy to see why they're increasingly becoming home birds．
The BBC's Lucy Hooker explains that many returning adult children enjoy home comforts．But for the 'hoteliers'，that's mum and dad，the survey found the average cost to them has gone up sharply，and that they are sacrificing luxuries and holidays to look after their 'big kids'．Emma Craig from Money supermarket says"they're trying to look after their children more．If your child comes home and you see them struggling financially，you feel more awkward asking them for rent or to contribute．It tugs on your heartstrings more．"
With parents splashing out around ￡1，886 on takeaway food，buying new furniture and upgrading their Wi-Fi for the benefit of their offspring，it's easy for the returning children to put their feet up and make themselves at home．That's before they learn a home truth-that one day it might be their own kids who'll be checking into the hotel of mum and dad！
8. Which proverb might present the young British's living conditions？ ______
A. A lazy youth，an awful age．
B. East or west，home is best．
C. Two heads are better than one．
D. Nothing comes wrong to a hungry man．
9. Which might be the reason for the increase of home birds？ ______
A. The popularity of living independently．
B. Looking after their old parents．
C. The increase of unemployment rate．
D. Their parents'financial offer．
10. What's Emma Craig's attitude towards home birds？ ______
A. Doubtful． B. Uncertain．
C. Objective． D. Understandable．
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about？ ______
A. Returning to live with parents comes at a price．
B. Parents are willing to receive their returning children．
C. Flying the net is becoming popular at present．
D. Home birds take it for granted to live with their parents．
【答案】
【小题1】B
【小题2】C
【小题3】D
【小题4】A
【解析】1．B．细节理解题，根据文章第一段的句子'There's no place like home．'This English saying has much truth in it可知，对英国的年轻人来说合适的谚语是：金窝银窝不如自己的草窝．故选B．
2．C．细节理解题，根据文章第三段的句子More young people had lost their jobs，and others couldn't afford their rent compared with the previous year．可知，失业率增加是越来越多的孩子喜欢回家住的原因．故选C．
3．D．观点态度题，根据文章倒数第二段的句子If your child comes home and you see them struggling financially，you feel more awkward asking them for rent or to contribute可知， Emma Craig对回家的孩子的态度是可以理解的．故选D．
4．A．段落大意题，根据文章最后一段的句子With parents splashing out around ￡1，886 on takeaway food，buying new furniture and upgrading their Wi-Fi for the benefit of their offspring可知，和父母一起生活是有代价的．故选A．
本文介绍现在很多英国年轻人喜欢回家和父母一起居住，文章分析其中的原因．

D
A company called Compass Pools has some good news for height and swimming enthusiasts． Recently，the company announced their novel design-a first of its kind 360-degree pool which is set to be placed on a skyscraper in London．The Infinity London will be the first and only building in the world to include this cutting-edge pool design．The pool will be laid on top of a 55-story skyscraper and will allow people to float over 200 meters above the London skyline with unobstructed（无障碍）views of the city．
The entrance to the pool is hidden．People began to raise questions about how anyone would get inside the poo1．Compass Pools explains："Swimmers will access the pool through a rotating spiral（螺旋）staircase based on the door of a submarine，rising from the pool floor when someone wants to get in or out．"
But that is not the only unique technology of the poo1．The designers found a way to make sure the wind doesn't blow the water down to the streets．They included a built-in anemometer（风力计）to monitor the wind speed．It is linked to a computer-controlled building management system which will also take care of the temperature of the water．
Alex Kemsley promises that this unique pool will surpass everyone's expectations．"Swimming in the SkyPool at The Shard，it's quite a strange feeling to have helicopters flying past at your level but this pool takes it a step further，"he says．"Putting your goggles（防水镜）on and with a 360-degree view of London from 220m up，it really will be something else-but it's definitely not one for the acrophobic（恐高）!"
While the exact date of the construction is not clear yet，if things go well，it may begin in 2020．The location has yet to be confirmed too．
12. What can we learn from the first paragraph？ ______
A. The Infinity London is the only building to swim in．
B. Swimmers can enjoy the views of London in the poo1．
C. The pool is located on the first floor of a skyscraper．
D. Compass Pools has built many 360-degree pools in the world．
13. What does the underlined word"that"in Paragraph 3 refer to？ ______
A. The pool floor． B. A built-in anemometer．
C. The door of a submarine． D. The entrance to the poo1．
14. Who might not be suitable to swim in the SkyPool？ ______
A. People who enjoy flying． B. People who lose weight．
C. People who fear heights． D. People who have poor sight．
15. What can we know about the SkyPool at The Shard？ ______
A. It is not certain when people can swim in it．
B. Its exact location of the construction is clear．
C. Swimmers can expect its designs easily．
D. It's impossible to monitor the temperature of the water．

二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）
How to protect your privacy when you travel
It hasn't been an easy year for the privacy of travelers，at least so far．Data leaks，surveillance（监视）worries and those troublesome cameras in airplane seatbacks and hotel rooms are enough to make passengers anxious． (1) Fortunately，there are ways to safeguard your privacy on land and in the air．These tips can help you deal with these troubles．
(2) "It's not clever to declare on Facebook that you're traveling to somewhere，reminding a wide range of people that your property is sitting empty，"says Danny McLoughlin．"That puts your security at risk．"Wait until you return to start posting vacation photos．
Some homeowners renting their residences may install security cameras．Travelers should find out if the hosts are required to disclose the presence of surveillance devices．If the rental comes with cameras，ensure they aren't in a sensitive area by conducting a careful sweep (3)
Although you can't control how a hotel or airline handles-or mishandles-your data，you can take reasonable steps to ensure the information it has won't get you into trouble． (4)
But some of the worst data leaks happen when you're staying at a hotel．For example，a hotel clerk sometimes asks for your name and then announces your room number after you've checked in．You're better off handing the employee your ID when he or she asks for your name and asking the employee to write your room number on a piece of paper．Why？ (5) Just to be sure，never leave the customer copy behind．You can destroy it later，but keep it under your contro1．

A．It's never been better．
B．Perhaps they should be．
C．Travelers say they're taking privacy seriously．
D．Never broadcast your journey on social media．
E．There are other people on the other side of the wall．
F．Some travelers only offer the bare minimum，such as a P．O．box instead of a home address．
G．Report anything doubtful to the host immediately-and if you don't like what you hear， leave．

【答案】【小题1】who/that
【小题2】using
【小题3】began
【小题4】what
【小题5】better
【小题6】from
【小题7】ways
【小题8】patience
【小题9】variety
【小题10】satisfying
【解析】1．who/that，考查定语从句，句子的先行词是artist，指人，使用who或that引导定语从句，在从句中充当主语，故答案为who/that．
2．using，考查动名词，介词by后接动词时，应使用其动名词形式，故答案为using．
3．began，考查时态，由时间状语more than two years ago可知表示过去发生的事件，因此谓语动词使用一般过去时，故答案为began．
4．what，考查引导词，作为doing后的宾语从句，从句缺少loved后的宾语，因此使用表示"什么"的what引导宾语从句，故答案为what．
5．better，考查比较级，根据语境指的是当她觉得身体比较好的日子，她就会做立体蛋糕，因此使用形容词well的比较级形式，故答案为better．
6．from，考查介词，此处指她专注于3D果冻蛋糕的时候，能帮助她把注意力从身体的疼痛中转移开，使用短语away from远离…，故答案为from．
7．ways，考查名词，way是可数名词，前没有冠词，因此使用名词的复数形式，故答案为ways．
8．patience，考查名词，and连接两个并列的成分，由creativity可知使用patient的名词形式patience，为不可数名词，故答案为patience．
9．variety，考查名词，此处指它们由各种各样独特的味道，使用短语a variety of各种各样的，故答案为variety．
10．satisfying，考查形容词，此处使用satisfy的形容词形式satisfying"令人满意的"，修饰后面的名词part，故答案为satisfying．
短文主要介绍了Siew Boon，她是一位3D果冻艺术家，她创造了一种特别的3D果冻蛋糕，并介绍了她对抗疾病的过程．
对于语法填空这类题，一是懂得分析句子结构，二是知道充当各个句子成分的词类或词性，从语法上确定答案，当然，对于某些固定搭配也要牢记，在平时的学习中要多积累这些词汇或短语，对于句子使用的时态语态也要通过语境进行确定．

五、书面表达（本大题共2小题，共40.0分）

I'm happy to receive your letter and know that you're coming to China．I'm writing to sincerely express my warmest welcome．（表示欢迎）
I'd like to tell you something about some places of interest in China．Personally，one of the best is the Great Wall of China．It came into being during the Warring States period and reached its best in Ming Dynasty as defence working against enemies．【高分句型一】With a history of over 2，000 years， it runs like a huge dragon across North China．And now it's a world-famous tourist attraction．As an old Chinese saying goes，"A man who hasn't been to the Great Wall is not a true man，" it's almost a must for foreigners to visit in China．（推荐一个景点及理由）
If you come to visit the Great Wall，you'd better come a day before climbing the Wall and avoid weekends or holidays，when it is too crowded with tourists， so as to enjoy its beauty more peacefully．【高分句型二】Moreover，I can be your guide if you like．（注意事项）
Yours，
Li Hua
【解析】高分句型
1．It came into being during the Warring States period and reached its best in Ming Dynasty as defence working against enemies．
句子里came into being 表示"产生于"；defence working表示"防御工事"
它产生于战国时期，在明朝达到了防御敌人的最佳状态．
2． If you come to visit the Great Wall，you'd better come a day before climbing the Wall and avoid weekends or holidays， when it is too crowded with tourists， so as to enjoy its beauty more peacefully．
句子里If引导条件状语参加 you come to visit the Great Wall；when 引导时间状语从句it is too crowded with tourists
如果你来参观长城，为了更安静地享受它的美丽，你最好提前一天，避免周末或假日，因为那时那里挤满了游客．
英语写作是一项主观性较强的测试题．它不仅考查学生的写作基础而且还考查学生在写作过程中综合运用语言的能力．在撰写时要注意主谓语一致，时态呼应，用词贴切等．要提高英语写作水平，需要两方面的训练：一是语言基础方面的训练，要有扎实的造句、翻译等基本功，即用词法、句法等知识造出正确无误的句子；二是写作知识和能力方面的训练以掌握写作方面的基本方法和技巧．

38. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文．续写的词数应为150左右．
I was ten years old，when some people from a nearby government school came and told my parents that they should send me to a one-year education camp．
My parents replied，"What's the use？ Education never got us Villagers anywhere． What good will it do to a girl？ Girls should stay at home and learn household work． That comes in handy when they get married．And anyway，how can we send our child so far away all by herself for a whole year？"
But the people persuaded my parents．They said there would be about a hundred girls coming from different villages and all of them would be safe and taken care of well． My parents had to agree finally．They felt that if other families sent their girls，they would also have to．
My friend，Mala，was going too．We were the only two girls from our village，‘Swaroop ka Talaab'We would sit in the evenings and wonder how things would be in an unknown place．Once，Mala asked me，"Will there be any sand dunes（沙丘）there？"I didn't understand her question．How could any place in the world not have sand dunes？ I have traveled far with my goats，sat on hills and looked at the desert beyond．For miles and miles there is only sand．
The day before leaving home，I was very nervous．I had dreamt of going to this unknown place but I couldn't imagine living without my parents and goats．They would surely miss me．My mother was sad too．With tears in her eyes，she packed my clothes and wrapped snacks for me．
When they took me away，I sobbed the whole way．I kept crying for the first few days in the camp．Then gradually，I started making friends with the other girls．There were so many girls．We would all study together，play together，eat together and sleep together．Sometimes，my parents would send me clothes and food．I also sent messages telling them not to worry and that I was well．
Para I：At the end of the term I studied hard for the examination．________
Para 2：When Mala and I went back home，we became different persons．________
【答案】Para 1：
At the end of the term I studied hard for the examination．I passed the fifth standard examination．The teachers were very happy with me．I was happy too because it was time to go back home．But I was also sad as I would never again see the new friends I had made here．（高分句型一）We hardly slept the last night in the camp．While we packed，we kept talking and crying as we would soon part．（活动结束成绩优秀，但是和老师同学感情深不愿离开）
Para 2：
When Mala and I went back home，we became different persons．My parents were overjoyed to see me and I met my goats again．Everyone in the village came and asked me how the camp was．When I told them how good it was and how much we had learnt，they decided to send their daughters the next time．（高分句型二）We often talked about much fun we had in the camp．I decided to go to school to study more．（回家后告诉家人和朋友自己的收获，他们也愿意把自己的孩子送去训练）
【解析】高分句型：
1．But I was also sad as I would never again see the new friends I had made here．
但是我也很难过因为我再也见不到我在这里认识的新朋友了．
该句中as引导一个原因状语从句，I had made here为一定语从句，修饰friends．
2．When I told them how good it was and how much we had learnt，they decided to send their daughters the next time．
当我告诉他们那里是如何的好以及我们学到了很多知识时，他们决定下次也把自己的女儿送去那里训练学习．
该句中when引导一个时间状语从句，how引导两个并列的宾语从句，作动词told的宾语．
我们在写作文的时候，一般应该把亮点句型放在明显的位置，以便于能够吸引阅卷老师的眼球；同时对于高分句型的使用也要慎重，应该用自己有把握的句子，特别是高考时，应该以正确为首要目的．另外，长短句的搭配使用会使文章显得灵活，不死板，是写作的首选
