D.THEPHANTOMOFTHEOPERA.【答案】1.B2.C3.C【解析】【導語】這是一篇應用文。文章對百老匯四部最佳劇目進行了介紹。【1題詳解】細節理解題。根據HAMILTON部分中的“It’sacompletelyfreshtakeonhistory,withahip-hopflavor.Sungandrapped(說唱),thewordplayissuperimpressive.(這是對歷史的全新詮釋，帶有嘻哈的味道。唱歌和說唱，這個文字游戲是超級令人印象深刻。)”可知，HAMILTON的特色是用音樂的方式講述歷史。故選B。【2題詳解】推理判斷題。根據COMEFROMAWAY部分中的“Theshowisaboutagroupof7,000airpassengersstranded(被困)inasmalltowninNewfoundlandduetothe9/11attacks.Itfocusesonhowthelocalssprangintoaction,preparingtohouse,feed,andcomfortthepassengers.(這部劇講述的是由于9.11襲擊事件，7000名乘客被困在紐芬蘭的一個小鎮上。它關注的是當地人如何迅速采取行動，準備為乘客提供住所、食物和安慰。)”可知，話劇《來自遠方》可能是關注黑暗時刻的人性光輝。故選C。【3題詳解】細節理解題。根據BEETLEJUICE部分中的“Thisfantasy-horrormusicalisoneofthenewesttheatershowsinNYC,butitmaintainstheappealoftheoriginalfilm.(這部奇幻恐怖音樂劇是紐約最新的劇院演出之一，但它保持了原版電影的吸引力。)”可知，《BEETLEJUICE》改編自一部電影。故選C。BWhenIwasinmythirties,IhadagoodjobinthemarketingdivisionofaFortune500company.However,afterworkingforthisfirst-classcompanyforfourteenyears,IgottothinkingaboutwhatitwouldbeliketodesignajobaroundwhatIenjoyedmostwhileusingmystrongestskills.IhopedtospendthenextstageofmycareerdoingwhatIlovedmostandspendmoretimewiththepeopleIlovedmost—mywifeandsons.Thenat37,Ihadawindowofopportunitytochasemydream—torunahome-basedbusiness.Withouthesitation,IpulledtheplugandstartedmyadvertisingandspeechwritingbusinessinJune1991.Mywifewasastay-at-homemom,soIwouldsacrifice(犧牲)ouronlyincomeandinsurance(保險)fornothingmorethanadream.Yet,afterconductinglotsofresearch,readingbooksonhowtostartthistypeofbusiness,callingtheauthorsforadditionaldetails,andfreelancing(從事自由職業)foradagenciesanddesignfirmstoensureIcouldwriteonanysubject,thisgoalslowlywentfromimpossibletopossible.Lookingback,Ithinkit’soneofthebestdecisionsI’veevermade.Whileworkingwithdifferentclients(客戶)andsharpeningmywritingskillsonvarioussubjects,Iwatchedmysonsgrowupfortenyears,playedhundredsofunscheduledbackyardbaseballgames,andenjoyedcountlessfather-sonchatswhilewalkingaroundtheblock.HenryDavidThoreauoncesaid,“Thepriceofanythingistheamountoflifeyouexchangeforit.”Now,basedonmyownexperiences,Iunderstandhowplausiblethisstatementis.Lifeprovideswindowsofopportunity—buttheyclosequickly.Forme,toremaininmyformercompanyduringthis“window”cameatapricetoohigh.NeverwillIbewillingtoexchangemoreofmyfamilylifeformyprofessionallife.4.Whydidtheauthordecidetostartahome-basedbusiness?A.Tomakemoremoney.

D.Optimistic.【答案】12.A13.C14.B15.D【解析】【導語】這是一篇說明文。文章主要說明了雖然棕櫚油被廣泛利用，但是帶來了嚴重環境問題，對此開發了微生物油，并且很有前景。【12題詳解】細節理解題。根據第一段“Palmoil(棕櫚油)istheworld’smostpopularvegetableoil,foundinhalfofallsupermarketgoodsandsevenoutofeverytenpersonalcareproducts.It’salsousedinsomesnacks,cleaningpowder,andtoothpaste.Since2016,globalpalmoilconsumptionhasrisen73percent.(棕櫚油是世界上最受歡迎的植物油，一半的超市商品和十分之七的個人護理產品都含有棕櫚油。它也被用于一些零食、洗衣粉和牙膏中。自2016年以來，全球棕櫚油消費量增長了73%)”可知，棕櫚油被廣泛使用。故選A。【13題詳解】推理判斷題。根據第二段“Theclearingofforeststomakewayforoilpalmplantationsisamajordriverofthecuttingdownoftreesinthehottestpartoftheworld:Between1972and2015,theworld’stwolargestpalmoil-producingnations,IndonesiaandMalaysia,lost16percentand47percentoftheirforests,respectively,tothecrop.Andthatbringsaboutenvironmentalproblems,suchasclimatechange,andpoorwaterquality.Biodiversitysuffersasevereblow,too.(在世界上最熱的地區，砍伐森林為油棕種植園讓路是砍伐樹木的主要驅動力：1972年至2015年間，世界上最大的兩個棕櫚油生產國印度尼西亞和馬來西亞分別因種植油棕而失去了16%和47%的森林。這帶來了環境問題，比如氣候變化和水質差。生物多樣性也遭受了嚴重的打擊)”可推知，作者在第2段提到印度尼西亞和馬來西亞是為了表明生產棕櫚油要付出高昂的代價。故選C。【14題詳解】細節理解題。根據第三段“Forinstance,hesays,“Microbescanbegrownquicklyinaclimate-controlledindoorspacetoproducehighamountsofoil.Wehavesofaridentifiedmorethan40algae(藻類)and70othermicrobeswhicharerichinoil.”(例如，他說：“微生物可以在一個氣候可控的室內空間中快速生長，從而產生大量的油。到目前為止，我們已經確定了40多種藻類和70多種其他富含油的微生物。”)”可知，充足的材料來源讓PhilippArbter轉向微生物油。故選B。【15題詳解】推理判斷題。根據最后一段“Whenaskedifthenewoilcanmatchpalmoilprices,especiallywhenit’susedinfood,ChristophChuck,achemicalengineerattheUniversityofBathinEngland,said,“Weshouldbeintouchingdistanceoftheeatableoilmarketaslongasmassproductionhappenstobringthepricedown.”(當被問及這種新油的價格是否能與棕櫚油相媲美，尤其是當它用于食品時，英國巴斯大學的化學工程師ChristophChuck說，“只要大規模生產能把價格降下來，我們就應該與食用油市場保持距離。”)”可知，ChristopherChuck對這種油的未來是樂觀的。故選D。第二節（共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）閱讀下面短文，從文后選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。It’snevereasytosayno,especiallywhenwe’reinvitedsomewherebysomeoneclosetous.____16____Maybeit’stimetolearnhowtoturndownaninvitationwithouthurtingpeople’sfeelings.Putoffyourresponse.Avoidimmediatelyrespondingtoarequestthatyoubelieveyouwillturndown.Aquick“No”willdeprive(剝奪)youoftimetocomeupwithakindrefusal.Instead,asimple“Letmecheckmycalendarandgetbacktoyou”willoftenwork.____17____.Checkyourcalendarforconflicts.Ifyouarelucky,youmaydiscoveraschedulingconflictthatenablesyoutohonestlydeclineduetothepreviouspromise.____18____.Whenyouseeyourcalendarisbusy,takealittleextratimeinadvancetothinkaboutakindrefusal.____19____Ifyoualreadyknowyouwanttodeclinebeforecheckingyourcalendar,youmayhaveaspecificreasoninmind.Doyoudislikethetask?Areyouplanningtoattendtheeventwithsomeoneelse?Thinkaboutreasonsyoucangivethatfocusonaspectsoftherequestratherthanthepersonmakingit.Remembertorespond.____20____Youmayleavethemwiththeimpressionthatyoudon’tvaluethem.Therefore,it’simportanttoreplytorequestsinatimelymanner.Whendeclining,trytoemphasizenon-personalreasonsfordoingso.A.Avoidadmittingyourscheduleisopen.B.Identifytheexactreasonwhyyouwanttodecline.C.However,thepersonmayaskyouforanothertime.D.Thisgivesyoutimetocreatearesponseinyourhead.E.Butoften,wefindourselvessayingyesandlaterregrettingit.F.Keeptheseinmindiftheotherpartyaskswhyyouaredeclining.G.Forgettingarequestmayhurtpeopleormakeyouanimpoliteperson.【答案】16.E17.D18.C19.B20.G【解析】【導語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要講述了如何委婉地拒絕別人的請求，以避免傷害對方的感情。【16題詳解】根據空前“It’snevereasytosayno,especiallywhenwe’reinvitedsomewherebysomeoneclosetous.(說“不”從來都不是件容易的事，尤其是當我們被親近的人邀請去某地的時候)”可知，對親近的人說不，或者說拒絕親近的人的邀請是一件困難的事。選項E“Butoften,wefindourselvessayingyesandlaterregrettingit.(但是，我們經常發現自己答應了，然后又后悔了)”延續上文內容，指的同意之后又后悔，反面表示拒絕困難。同時自然引出下文“Maybeit’stimetolearnhowtoturndownaninvitationwithouthurtingpeople’sfeelings.(也許是時候學習如何在不傷害別人感情的情況下拒絕邀請了)”。故選E。【17題詳解】根據上文“Putoffyourresponse.Avoidimmediatelyrespondingtoarequestthatyoubelieveyouwillturndown.Aquick“No”willdepriveyouoftimetocomeupwithakindrefusal.Instead,asimple“Letmecheckmycalendarandgetbacktoyou”willoftenwork.(推遲你的回答。避免立即回應你認為你會拒絕的請求。一個快速的“不”將剝奪你的時間來想出一個友好的拒絕。相反，一句簡單的“讓我看看我的日程表，然后回復你”通常會起作用)”可知，本段講述的是我們可以通過一些方法來推遲自己的回答，從而相處一個友好的拒絕方式。選項D“Thisgivesyoutimetocreatearesponseinyourhead.(這給了你時間在頭腦中做出反應)”是上文內容的自然延續，指出可以通過一句簡單的“讓我看看我的日程表，然后回復你”讓自己可以有時間在頭腦中想出一個友好的拒絕。故選D。【18題詳解】根據上文“Ifyouarelucky,youmaydiscoveraschedulingconflictthatenablesyoutohonestlydeclineduetothepreviouspromise.(如果幸運的話，您可能會發現一個日程沖突，使您能夠誠實地拒絕之前的承諾)”可知，通過檢查日程表，幸運的話，會發現日程沖突，就可以拒絕。選項C“However,thepersonmayaskyouforanothertime.(然而，這個人可能會問你另一個時間)”中的“however”表明下文與上文存在轉折，指的是當你發現日程沖突，婉拒對方的邀請后，對方可能會提出另一個時間。與上文內容一致。故選C。【19題詳解】根據下文內容“Ifyoualreadyknowyouwanttodeclinebeforecheckingyourcalendar,youmayhaveaspecificreasoninmind.Doyoudislikethetask?Areyouplanningtoattendtheeventwithsomeoneelse?Thinkaboutreasonsyoucangivethatfocusonaspectsoftherequestratherthanthepersonmakingit.(如果你在查看日歷之前就已經知道你想要拒絕，你可能已經有了一個具體的理由。你不喜歡這個任務嗎？你打算和別人一起參加這個活動嗎？考慮一下你可以給出的理由，把重點放在請求的各個方面，而不是提出請求的人)”可知，本段講述的是要清楚自己為什么想要拒絕對方的邀請。選項B“Identifytheexactreasonwhyyouwanttodecline.(明確你想要拒絕的確切原因)”是下文內容的總結。故選B。【20題詳解】根據空后“Youmayleavethemwiththeimpressionthatyoudon’tvaluethem.(你可能會給他們留下你不重視他們的印象)”可知，空處指的是可能會給對方留下不好印象的行為。選項G“Forgettingarequestmayhurtpeopleormakeyouanimpoliteperson.(忘記一個請求可能會傷害別人，或者讓你成為一個不禮貌的人)”指的是將對方的請求遺忘會傷害對方，成為一個不禮貌的人，同時也自然引出下文內容，指出這會讓對方覺得自己沒有被重視。故選G。第三部分語言運用第一節完型填空（滿分15分）TimGjoraasdoesn’thavemuchtimeleft.However,there’sno____21____ofsupportivepeopleinhiscorner.Lastyear,Timfoundouthehadcancer.Inthefollowingmonths,hishealth____22____andthenhegotthenewsthathelikelyonlyhasmonthslefttolive.HequicklyretiredfromtheWashingtonHighSchoolanddecidedtodevoteeverymomenttospendingwithhis____23____.After____24____thathemaynothavemuchtimeleft,Timbegantakingstepstoensurehislovedoneswillbe____25____.WhilehewascatchingupwithDougRinken,afriendandretiredteacher,Timaskedhimto____26____hishousenextsummer.He____27____thathiswifeLisahasalwayswantedbluewalls.Littledidheknowthatthejobwouldbefinishedmuch____28____!OneSaturdayinSeptember,Timopenedhisdoorstoa(n)____29____sight.DoughadshownupwithpainttoolsandaboutadozenofTim’sfellowteachersandfriends.Thiswasn’tthefirsttimetheyhad____30____him.Aftertheyheardabouthisdisease,theyorganizedfundraiserstohelpwithhismedical____31____.Theprojecttooklessthanaday____32____theirefforts.Ofcourse,itlefta____33____markonTim.Whatapowerfulactofkindness!Nomatterwhathappens,Tim____34____knowsheandhisfamilymemberswillalwaysholdaplaceintheircommunity’s____35____.21.A.record
