一，在20世纪学习拉丁语的人却少得多，导致拉丁语被列为“死亡”语言，但这提高了公众保护拉丁语的意识。21.推理判断题。根据第一段中EventhoughknowingLatinindicatedapersonwaseducated,accordingtoBrit

annica,inthe20thcenturyfarfewerpeoplelearnedLatin,leadingittobeclassifiedasa“dead”language.尽管懂拉丁语意味着一个人受过教育，但根据《大英百科全书》的记载，在2

0世纪学习拉丁语的人却少得多，导致拉丁语被列为“死亡”语言。可知，从第一段我们能了解到在20世纪大多数人没有学习拉丁语。故选A项。22.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Itisawindowintoafascinatingancientcivilization,andstu

dyinganancientcivilizationteachesustorespectdifferentpointsofviewandunfamiliarculturalpractices,”saysKathleenColeman,JamesLoebProfessorofHarvard

University.哈佛大学詹姆斯•勒布教授凯瑟琳•科尔曼说：“这是一扇通向迷人的古代文明的窗户，研究古代文明教会我们尊重不同的观点和不熟悉的文化习俗。”可知，根据科尔曼的观点，人们学习拉丁语是为了了解古代的社会。故选D项。23.推理判断题。根据最后一段中Thoughit’shard

.C26.C【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章由虚拟现实会让人产生晕动病为切入点，介绍了自动驾驶车辆也会有类似的情况。本文讲述了产生晕动病的因素，哪些行为更容易导致晕动病以及减轻这种症状的方法。24.推理判断题。根据第一段的主要内容，尤其“Unfortunate

ly,amongotherissues,testersreportedlydevelopedheadachesandmotionsicknessusingtheheadset不幸的是，在其它问题中，测试者在使用耳机时产生了头痛和晕动病”和第二段的“Areportjustiss

uedbytheUniversityofMichiganTransportationResearchInstitute,suggestsasimilarproblemcouldbefoundinself-drivingcars.密

歇根大学交通研究所刚刚发布的一份报告显示，自动驾驶车辆也存在类似的问题”结合下文所陈述的自从驾驶车辆导致晕动病的原因和一些解决方案可推知，第一段讲述虚拟现实会让人产生晕动病是为了引出本文的话题——自动驾驶车辆也会导致晕动病。故选B项。25.细节理解

题。根据第三段的“Thosereading,watchingmoviesortelevision,textingandworkingwhileonautopilotshouldsufferthemostmotionsickness那

些在自动驾驶状态下阅读、看电影或电视、编辑信息和工作的人可能患最严重的晕动病”可知，在自动驾驶状态下一直专心写作可能导致严重的晕动病，因为一直处于工作状态中。故选C项。26.细节理解题。根据最后一段的“AuthorsSivakandSchoettlesuggestaut

omakersdesignself-drivingcarsspecificallytohelpreduceit,includinghavinglargetransparentwindowstomaximi

zevisualfield,andsettingseatsanddisplayssothatridersarefacingforward.作者AuthorsSivak和Schoettle建议汽车制造商专门设计自动驾驶车辆来减少这种情况，包括安装

大而透明的窗户来最大化视野，设置座椅和显示器以便乘客面向前方”可知，大而透明的窗户和面向前方的座椅会降低晕动病。故选C项。CIamanactiveplaygoerandplay-reader,andperhapsmybestreasonforeditingthisbookisahopeofsh

.C30.B【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作者的书籍的序言部分，包括其编写目的，书籍内容主体，以及如何实现有乐趣的阅读本书的建议。27.细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“…andperhapsmybestreasonforeditingt

hisbookisahopeofsharingmyenthusiasmforthetheaterwithothers”可知，作者编辑这本书的最好的原因是希望与他人分享对戏剧的热情，因此可知作者对于戏剧饱含热情。故选B项。28.细节理解题。

根据文章第二段内容“Itisnotmyintentiontopointoutthecentralthemeofeachoftheplaysinthiscollection,forthatwould,indeed,ruinthepleasur

eofreading,discussing,andthinkingabouttheplaysandtheeffectivenessoftheplaywright.”可知，作者并不想指出这本书中每一部戏剧的中心主题，因为那样确实会破坏阅读

、讨论和思考戏剧以及剧作家的有效性的乐趣。A项“Statingtheplays”centralideas(陈述戏剧的中心思想)”与原文表达信息一致。故选A项。29.细节理解题。根据文章末尾段内容“Togetthemostoutofthereadingtheseplays,tr

ytopicturetheplayonstage,withyou,thereader,intheaudience.”可知，作者建议读者试着想象戏剧在舞台上上演，不再是读者而是成为观众，才能实现最佳的阅读乐趣。C项“Usetheirimaginat

ion”与原文“trytopicturetheplayonthestage”表达信息一致。故选C项。30.推理判断题。根据文章首段内容“Iamanactiveplaygoerandplay-reader,andperhapsmybestreasonforeditingthisbooki

sahopeofsharingmyenthusiasmforthetheaterwithothers”可知，该句内容应是书籍的“自序”内容，且结合末尾“Togetthemostoutofthereadingtheseplays,trytopicturetheplayonstage

,withyou,thereader,intheaudience.”可知，在讲述如何更好地实现阅读乐趣，再结合全文内容可推知，作者通过该文章介绍自己的一本书。故选B项。第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文

后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Iexperiencedyearsoflonelinessasachild.31.Hisfriendsteasedhimaboutbabysi

几个生活习惯的原因。31.设空在段中，应是承前启后句。根据后文“Hisfriendsteasedhimaboutbabysittinghissisterandhisinterestswerefardifferentfrommine”可知，设空句应提及“his”的身

份，即G项中的“Myelderbrother”，且G项“我哥哥懒得和我一起玩”在此起到了承上启下的作用。故选G项。故选G项。32.根据前句提到“我对文字的爱始于母亲每天晚上给我读故事的时候”可知，D项“我喜欢书中的彩色照片”和上句构成进一步说明。同时D项中的“书”指代上句提到

的母亲每天给我读故事的书。D项切题。故选D项。33.根据前句提到“阅读为我打开了新世界”可知，A项“我不在孤独”和上句构成了因果关系。A项切题。故选A项。34.根据前句“当我的母亲看到我的创作时，她说我的设计很有创意”可知，

F项“于是，我开始对制造东西产生了长久的兴趣”和上句构成因果关系，我正是在听了母亲那句话后才开始了对制造东西产生兴趣。F项切题。故选F项。35.根据后句“无论天气或季节，我的父母都要让他们的两个孩子花时间在户外”可知，E项“我很早养成的另一个习惯是去户外”和前句

表示因果逻辑。作者有去户外的习惯是因为后句提到的父母的影响。E项切题。故选E项。第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，共30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，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。Iw

osth.“对于某人来说做某事是……”，其中it是形式主语，不定式是真正的主语，故填tounderstand。58.考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知，此处应用非谓语动词作后置定语，逻辑主语questions和ask之间是被动关系，应用过去分词，故填asked。59.考查时态和语态。分析句子可知

，设空处是主句谓语，结合语境和下文的is判断为一般现在时，主语university和fund之间是被动关系，故应用一般现在时的被动语态，主语是第三人称单数，be应用is，故填isfunded。60.考查形容词比较级。句意：公立大学没有私

the。63.考查定语从句。分析句子可知，设空处引导定语从句，关系词代替先行词state在从句中充当地点状语，应用关系副词where，故填where。64.考查副词。分析句子可知，此处应用high的副词hi

ghly修饰形容词reputable，故填highly。65.考查短语。此处是固定短语focuson“关注，聚焦在”，故填on。第四部分：写作(共两节，满分40分)第一节：应用文写作（满分15分）假如你是李华，你市戏剧院响应国家在校园促进传统曲文化的号召，将在12月20日表演传统京剧《霸王别姬》，

根据提供的文章开头，续写成文，也可以根据文章的结尾，写出故事的延续和可能的结局，续写文章时要注意，一是根据所提供的文章开头、结尾或其他线索，明确续写的方向和路子。二是续写时，情节的发展要合乎逻辑，人物的思想要前后一致，叙述的语气上也要一致。【详解】本文为续写作文。首先要认真读懂提供的材料

，弄清整篇文章的中心，然后根据中心，围绕文章中心，联系生活，运用想象，补续事情的发展和故事的结局。本文是根据文章的内容，续写两段，每段的开头语已写好，但至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语，因此叙述要保证根据所给的思路进行合理的想象叙述即可。如第一段以“Later,aswestoodbytheb

urningtenttokeepwarm,weconsideredourdifficultsituation.”可知，是主要描述事故刚发生时所面临的困境如日用品没有了，天气寒冷，无助等。第二段以“Suddenly,weheardanoiseintheforest.”开头，此时是绝境逢生，

外援出现。如护林员的出现等。细节想象中的人物和事物要与原文保持连续性和一致性，融为一体。续写的文章要有明确的中心，重点突出，有详有略。故事情节的向后延续发展要合乎情理。【点睛】本文续写部分能根据提供的开头写作，运用了要求

使用的词，进行合理的想象。想象与原文一致，文章中心明确，内容有详有略，情节跌宕起伏，延续部分合乎情理。文章单句与复句相结合，句式相对灵活：续写部分运用了许多的句式，如：由as引导的状语从句aswestoodbytheburningtenttokeepwa

rm,weconsideredourdifficultsituation；省略了that的限制性定语从句，Theonlythingwecoulddowasjustsittinginthecoldairandwond

eringhowtogetoutoftheforest.由where引导的非限制性定语从句：…,droveustotherangerstation,whereweweregivenclothesandwereabletocallourparents；

强调句型itwasonthistripthatStevebegantotreatmemorelikeafriendandequal,ratherthanayoungercousin；以及非谓语作状语，如wearingonlyunderwe

ar,withoursuppliesburntintoashes。这使得文章有张有驰，增加了文章的档次。附：听力原文：Text1M:Kate,don’tmakenoise.Thisfootballmatchisgreat.W:Ithinkyoushouldt
