第一节(共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Pizza is a pretty universal treat, but where did it start? Here are three things you probably didn’t know about pizza.
1: Pizza’s Origins Are Half-Baked.
The Neapolitans(那不勒斯人)in Italy are proud of saying they invented pizza, but it’s probably more accurate to say, they perfected it. The idea of putting toppings on a flatbread and baking it started in the 6th century B. C. But the people of Naples were the first to put tomato on a flatbread in the 16th century. From its start, pizza was a food of the poor, as it was cheap, filling and easy to eat on the run. In Italian, the word “pizza” refers to anything that is made and then pressed flat.
2: Pizza Margherita Is Not Exactly a Symbol of Italy.
It was said some day in 1889, a local baker named Raffaele Esposito created three pizzas for Queen Margherita when she was on a tour of Italy. The queen loved the version that had tomato, basil and mozzarella cheese--- and just happened to match the colors of the Italian flag. So Esposito named the pizza after her.
But Pizza historian Scott Wiener points out that Italy was unified in name only in 1889 so it was unlikely any Neapolitan baker would want to celebrate “the Northern conquerors.” Further, the letter of gratitude for the pizza from the royal household that Pizzeria Brandi displays appears to be a fake(赝品)and may just have been a marketing plan.
3: Hawaliian Pizza Invented by a Canadian.
Sam Panopoulos, from Greece originally moved to Canada at the age of 20. In 1962, he decided to put some ham and pineapple on a pizza at one of his restaurants in Ontario.
“We just put it on for fun to see how it was going to taste,” he told the BBC in 2017. Panopoulos named it the Hawaiian pizza after the brand of canned pineapple he used. The mix of sweet and savory toppings caught on with a certain part of the pizza-loving public. The inventor died in 2017.
1. Who was pizza first made for?
A. The people of Naples.
B. The poor Neapolitan people.
C. The rich Italian people.
D. Queen Margherita specially.
2. What can we learn about Pizza Margherita?
A. It was intended to match the colors of the Italian flag.
B. It was made to celebrate "the Northern conquerors."
C. It was made to cater for Queen Margherta.
D. It was displayed in the royal house.
3. How did the name of Hawaiian Pizza come?
A. It was named after a brand of canned pineapple.
B. It was named after a restaurant in Ontario.
C. It came from a local Hawaiian cook.
D. It came from the pizza-loving public.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A
【解析】

In 2012 my wife and I decided to open our bookstore in spite of unfavorable situations. The challenges facing small bookstores were-and remain-significant. Apart from the obvious rise in online selling, the increase in the popularity of e-books has negatively affected independent providers.
The question is why a new, small-scale(小规模的)provide would voluntarily enter such a challenging market? From a personal view, our reasoning was sound: we wanted to share our love of great books and reading for pleasure with as many like-minded people as possible.
Having done our homework, one thing became clear. In order for us to succeed, we would have to offer something that none of our larger competitors already provided. And so we started the Willoughby Book Club. We set up our website in the summer of 2012, and we haven’t looked back.
The idea of service is simple. We offer a range of book subscription gift packages, available in three-month, six-month and 12-month options. Our customers choose a package, tell us a little about the person they’re buying it for, and we use this information to send the receiver a hand-picked, gift-wrapped book once a month. We also recently decided to give one new book to Book Aid International for every gift subscription sold. These books are sent out to sub-Saharan Africa, supporting the educational work there. Within four months of starting out, we won the Young Bookseller of the Year Award at the 2013 Bookseller awards.
Our brief journey from new booksellers to award receivers has been challenging and rewarding. The biggest thing we’ve learned is that, despite the pressures facing independent providers, there is a place for them in the UK market. It’s just a question of finding it.
4. What challenges do the couple have to face when opening their bookstore?
A. Their bookstore is in an unfavourable place.
B. They are short of money and manpower.
C. Their books tore has limited great books.
D. Online selling and e-books are gaining popularity.
5. What does the underlined word “sound” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. accurate B. controversial
C. reliable D. safe
6. In order to succeed, the couple have taken practical measures except ________ .
A. setting up a book club
B. building their website
C. sending the customers gifts every month
D. aiding some Africans by giving them new boos
7. What’s the author’s opinion on being an independent provider?
A. It is anything but challenging.
B. It is difficult but worth it.
C. It is too difficult to succeed.
D. It is just a question.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，讲述了尽管在线销售的明显增长，电子书的普及也对供应商产生负面影响，作者夫妇二人仍然开了一家书店，目的是与更多志同道合的人分享对好书的热爱，分享阅读的乐趣，作者认为尽管独立供应商面临很大的压力，但在英国市场仍有一席之地。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Apart from the obvious rise in online selling, the increase in the popularity of e-books has negatively affected independent providers.”可知，除了在线销售的明显增长，电子书的普及也对供应商产生了负面影响，故D项正确。

【7题详解】
观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“The biggest thing we’ve learned is that, despite the pressures facing independent providers, there is a place for them in the UK market. It’s just a question of finding it.”可知，尽管独立供应商面临很大的压力，但在英国市场仍有一席之地，只是找到它的问题，由此可知，作者对成为独立供应商持积极的态度，虽然艰难但很值得，故B项正确。
【点睛】观点态度题的难度通常很大，通过文中的已知信息把握作者的态度是关键，根据最后一段中的“The biggest thing we’ve learned is that, despite the pressures facing independent providers, there is a place for them in the UK market. It’s just a question of finding it.”可知，尽管独立供应商面临很大的压力，但在英国市场仍有一席之地，只是找到它的问题，由此可知，作者对成为独立供应商持积极的态度——虽然艰难但很值得。

Humans’ invention of zero was vital for modern mathematics and science, but we’re not the only species to consider “nothing” a number. Parrots and monkeys understand the concept of zero, and now bees have joined the club, too.
Honey bees are known to have some numerical skills such as the ability to count to four, which may come in handy when keeping track of landmarks in their environment. To see whether these abilities extended to understanding zero, researchers trained 10 bees to identify the smaller of two numbers. Across a series of trials, they showed the insects two different pictures displaying a few black shapes on a white background. If the bees flew to the picture with the smaller number of shapes, they were given delicious sugar water, but if they flew toward the larger number, they were punished with bitter-tasting food.
Once the bees had learned to consistently make the correct choice, the researchers gave them a new choice: a white background containing no shapes at all. Even though the bees had never seen an empty picture before, 64% of the time they chose it rather than a picture containing two or three shapes, the authors report today in Science. This suggests that the insects understood that “zero” is less than two or three. And they weren’t just going for the empty picture because it was new and interesting. Another group of bees trained to always choose the larger number tended to pick the nonzero image in this test.
In further experiments, the researchers showed that bees’ understanding of zero was even more complex: for example, they were able to distinguish between one and zero-a challenge even for some other members of the zero club. Advanced numerical abilities like this could give animals an evolutionary advantage, helping them keep track of predators(捕食者)and food sources. And if an insect can display such a thorough grasp of the number zero, write the researchers, then this ability may be more common in the animal kingdom than we think.
8. According to the trials, the researchers have found that bees ________.
A. have the same intelligence as parrots and monkeys
B. can count many numbers after being trained
C. can identify the smaller number quickly
D. understand the concept of zero
9. The researchers trained another group of bees to ________ .
A. confirm the bees are able to identify the smaller number
B. find the big difference between the two groups of bees
C. prove the bees are interested in new things
D. show the bees can be distinguished easily
10. What do the researchers suggest in further experiments?
A. Bees should be trained more.
B. Numerical abilities could help predators find bees.
C. Insects are better at understanding zero than animals.
D. Animals may display a thorough grasp of the number zero.
11. What is the best the title for the text?
A. New Findings About Bees’ Concept of Zero
B. Experients on Bees’ Numerical Skills
C. Complex Trials About the Zero Club
D. A Science Report of the Species of Bees
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. A
【解析】

【9题详解】
推理判断题。第二段说研究人员训练十只蜜蜂来识别两个数字中较小的那一个，再结合第三段中的“Another group of bees trained to always choose the larger number tended to pick the nonzero image in this test.”可知，另一组训练总是挑选较大数字的蜜蜂倾向于选择非零图像，研究人员训练这组蜜蜂的目的就是为了证实蜜蜂能够识别较小的数字，故A项正确。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“And if an insect can display such a thorough grasp of the number zero, write the researchers, then this ability may be more common in the animal kingdom than we think.”可知，进一步的研究表明动物能够完全掌握零的概念，故D项正确。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是第一段中的“Parrots and monkeys understand the concept of zero, and now bees have joined the club, too.”可知，本文介绍了研究人员通过试验发现蜜蜂能够理解数字零的概念，故A项正确。
【点睛】科普类说明文的主旨大意题难度很大，抓住文章的主题句是关键，这类文章的主题句一般会出现在文章第一段，例如本篇第4题，根据第一段中的“Parrots and monkeys understand the concept of zero, and now bees have joined the club, too.”可知，本文介绍了蜜蜂也像鹦鹉和猴子一样能够理解数字零的概念。

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。
Find a quiet location. Keep a routine. Focus on one subject at a time. It all seems like sound advice for students who need to hit the books, ____16____ . Here’s a list of tips from Carey, a scientist, for getting the most out of your study time:
___17___
Doing practice quizzes can help you retrieve(检索)information on test day. “Tests have a very bad reputation as a measurement tool,” Carey says. But psychologists have found self-tests slow down the forgetting of material you’ve studied. “If you study something once, and then you test yourself on it,” Carey says, “you do better than if you study it twice over.”
Move around
___18___ . “If you move around and study the same material in several places,” he says, “you may be forming multiple associations for the same material. So it’s better anchored in your brain, and you can pull it out easier.”
Mix it up
Think about a football who does strength training, speed training and drills. Carey says alternating between different facets facts of a subject in a single sitting can “leave a deeper impression on the brain”. For example, when studying French, do some verbs, some speaking and some reading. ____19____ .
Space it out
Information learned in a hurry is lost just as fast. So if you really want to learn, space out shorter, hour-long study sessions. “There’s no doubt that you can cram for(突击备考)an exam.” Carey says, “____20____ . And once it’s gone, “it’s gone. You’re not getting it back.”
A. Test yourself
B. Study it and practice more
C. and it turns out that some of them are in great help
D. but recent studies indicate the conventional wisdom is wrong
E. The problem is that it’s so easy to forget what you just crammed
F. Changing up where you study can help you keep more information
G. Spending your time in deep concentration on just verbs isn’t effective
【答案】16. D 17. A
18. F 19. G
20. E
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何充分利用你的学习时间的几点建议。
【16题详解】
上文说找一个安静的地方，保持常规，一次只关注一个科目，这似乎都是很合理的建议，下文又介绍了如何充分利用你的学习时间的几点建议，此处需要一个承上启下的过渡句，既与上文的建议形成转折关系，又要引出下文介绍的建议，故D项(但是，最近的研究表明传统的观点是错误的)符合语境。
【17题详解】
根据本段内容，特别是“Doing practice quizzes can help you retrieve information on test day”可知，做练习题可以帮助你在考试当天检索信息，本段讲的是要进行自我测试，故A项(自我测试)符合语境。
【18题详解】
根据本空后的“If you move around and study the same material in several places,” he says, “you may be forming multiple associations for the same material.”可知，如果你在不同的地方学习同一种材料，你会产生多种联想，此处讲的是在不同的地点学习的好处，故F项(改变学习地点可以帮助你保存更多信息)符合语境。
【19题详解】
根据本空前的“For example, when studying French, do some verbs, some speaking and some reading.”可知，学习法语时，做一些动词，说一些，读一些，此处承接上文，讲的还是关于学习法语的内容，故G项(把时间集中在动词上是没有效果的)符合语境。
【20题详解】
根据本空后的“And once it’s gone, “it’s gone. You’re not getting it back.”可知，一旦它消失了，你就想不起来了，此处说的是有关遗忘的内容，故E项(问题是你很容易忘记刚刚记住的东西)符合语境。

第三处：ask改为asked
第四处：去掉it。
第五处：don't改为doesn't

本文是一篇说明文，介绍了网上投票在中国非常流行，但它对人们有不好的影响。
【详解】第一处：考查连词。句意：现在，网上投票在中国非常流行，但它对人们有不好的影响。前后是转折而非并列关系，故and改为but。
第二处：考查固定搭配。句意参考上题解析， have effects on sb表示“对某人有影响”，故for改为on。
第三处：考查非谓语动词。句意：有些人在被要求做他们不喜欢做的事情时会感到很烦。Some people与ask之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，应该用过去分词表示被动，故ask改为asked。
第四处：考查代词。句意参考上题解析，宾语从句中，what作like的宾语，it是多余的，故去掉it。
第五处：考查主谓一致。句意：一般来说，网上投票并不取决于竞争对手的实力。动名词作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，故don't改为doesn't。

第七处：考查代词。句意参考上题解析，此处指代competitors，故we改为they。
第八处：考查冠词。句意：更糟糕的是，这可能是主办方的一种商业伎俩。trick是可数名词，用不定冠词a表示泛指，故在commercial前加a。
第九处：考查时态。句意：因此，制定和严格遵守规章制度是非常必要的。文章的基础时态为一般现在时，故was改为is。
第十处：考查名词。句意参考上题解析，regulation是可数名词，此处用复数形式表示泛指，故regulation改为regulations。

【点睛】细节理解题的解题思路：
细节理解题就是我们常见的wh-题，它们大多是根据文章中的具体信息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述等进行提问的。抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键，也是做好其它类型问题的基础。该题型几乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息，或是其变体。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节，做这类题一般采用寻读法，即先读题，然后带着问题快速阅读短文，找出与问题和选项有关的词语或句子，再对相关部分进行分析对比，找出答案。例如小题1，根据The Finest Asian Cruise Explorations部分A most popular voyage is one that starts from Hong Kong to Singapore.可知最受欢迎的乘船游览路线是从香港到新加坡，故选A。

At schools across the United States，students often sit down to cafeteria lunches made from processed foods that are high in fat，sodium，and sugar.But kids at Public School(P.S.)216 in Brooklyn have a different dining experience.Principal Donna Neglia reports that her students love eating flesh fruits and vegetables.
P.S.216 participated in the Edible Schoolyard Project，a nonprofit program founded by Chef Alice Waters in 1995.The program that Waters created helps public schools across the country start on-site gardens and weave principles of healthy eating into the curriculum.Students grow and maintain crops，harvesting the fruits and vegetables for cafeteria meals.
Waters expressed her passion for the principles of the farm-to-table movement.She advised schools to connect with the farmers in their area and change their buying practices when planning meals for students.
Waters has long been inspiring people to care about where their food comes from.In 1993，she put forward the idea of a White House vegetable garden.It was not until 2009 that Michelle Obama started the garden in the backyard of the White House.She and members of the kitchen staff spent hours tending to the garden，often with help from local school children.
“That gave people a sense that she cared about children and cared about where our food comes from，”Waters said，praising the former First Lady’s concern for young people’s health.“We are just building this movement，and it is very exciting.”
“Through the Edible Schoolyard Project，students also learn about the benefits of healthy eating in the classroom.”Neglia said.“P.S.216 is teaching kids about careers in the food industry—such as farming and agriculture，nutrition，food safety，and the restaurant business.”
Similar classes are taking place around the country.So far，the Edible Schoolyard Project has reached more than 1 million students in more than 367 schools.“I'm thinking about the future of the planet，”Waters said.“I'm doing this for our generation.”
4. What’s the purpose of the Edible Schoolyard Project?

B. P.S.216 mainly teaches kids about careers in food industry
C. Waters’ project is not well received by me us schools
D. Waters had no difficulty in starting vegetable garden
7. What can be the best title for the text?

C
All across the nation，in Americans’backyards and garages and living rooms，wild animals kept as pets live side by side with their human owners.It’s believed that more exotic animals live in American homes than are cared for in American zoos.The exotic-pet business has drawn criticism from animal welfare advocates and wildlife conservationists alike，who say it’s not only dangerous to bring wildlife into households but it’s cruel and criminal.Yet the issue is far from black or white.
The term exotic pet has no firm definition.It can refer to any wildlife kept in human households or simply to a pet that’s more unusual than the common dog or cat.Privately owning exotic animals is currently permitted in a handful of states with no restrictions in America.Adam Roberts of Born Free USA keeps a running database of deaths and injuries caused by exotic-pet ownership：In Connecticut a 55-year-old woman’s face was permanently disfigured by her friend’s lifelong pet monkey;in Ohio an 80-year-old man was attacked by a 200-pound kangaroo;in Nebraska a 34-year-old man was strangled(勒)to death by his pet snake.And that list does not include the number of people who become sick from coming into contact with zoonotic(动物传染的) diseases.
Some people see wild animals as pets as a way to connect with the natural world.Other exotic-pet owners say they are motivated by a desire to preserve threatened species.They believe climate change and human population growth could wipe out a species in record time，so having a backup population is a good idea.
But some groups like Born Free USA and the World Wildlife Fund gay that captive breeding(圈养)of endangered species by private owners—whether for commercial，conservation，or educational reasons—serves only to continue a booming market for exotic animals.That，in turn，results in a greater risk to animals still living in their natural habitat.
8. Which word can replace the phrase“far from black or white”in Paragraph 1?
A. contradictory B. ridiculous
C. controversial D. universal
9. Why does the writer list some deaths and injuries in the text?
A. To give us a clear and firm definition of exotic pets.
B. To show keeping exotic animals can be very dangerous.
C. To prove humans can not be infected by animal diseases.
D. To tell us it’s illegal to have exotic-pet ownership in USA.
10. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. The reasons for keeping exotic animals as pets.
B. Worries about the endangered wild animals.
C. The differences between people who keep exotic pets.
D. The disadvantages of privately owning exotic animals.
11. The last paragraph of the text is intended to_______.
A. introduce some animal protection groups
B. argue against keeping exotic animals in captivity
C. warn people of the danger of animals being caught
D. prove captive breeding can encourage exotic-pet business
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】
这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲了一些美国人在家里饲养野生动物，他们把野生动物带入家庭很危险，各界对此事件充满争议。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。上句说The exotic-pet business has drawn criticism from animal welfare advocates and wildlife conservationists alike，who say it’s not only dangerous to bring wildlife into households but it’s cruel and criminal.说外来宠物业务引起了动物福利倡导者和野生动物物种保护者的批评，他们把野生动物带入家庭不仅很危险，而且是残酷和罪恶的。由此推知这个问题有争议，“far from black or white”意思是有争议的，A. contradictory矛盾的;B. ridiculous荒谬的;C. controversial有争议的;D. universal普遍的，故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。答案定位在第二段Adam Roberts of Born Free USA keeps a running database of deaths and injuries caused by exotic-pet ownership(Adam Roberts记录着因养宠物而导致的死亡和受伤情况)以及结合下面惨痛的事例，可知作者在文中列举了一些伤亡事件是为了表明饲养野生动物是非常危险的，故选B。
【10题详解】
段落大意题。这一段的意思是一些人认为把野生动物当宠物是与自然世界联系的一种方式。其他外来宠物的主人说，他们的动机是希望保护濒危物种。他们认为气候变化和人口增长可能在很短的时间内消灭一个物种，所以有一个备份是一个好主意。由此推断出第三段主要讲了人们把野生动物当宠物饲养的原因，故选A。
【11题详解】
写作意图题。答案定位在最后一段That，in turn，results in a greater risk to animals still living in their natural habitat.(反过来，结果在一个更大的风险中，动物仍然生活在它们的自然栖息地。)由此推断出最后一段目的在于反对圈养野生动物，故选B。
D
The United States Postal Service(LISPS)is offering a way to people who are interested in seeing tomorrow’s mail today.The postal service will send consumers images(图像)of their letters，magazines and other mail before they arrive.The new service is called Informed Delivery.It is an attempt to remain competitive in an ever—changing world.
Postal service officials say the increased use of email，digital messaging services and social media has made it difficult to stay relevant.David Rupert is a media relations specialist who spoke about the competition the agency now faces.Whether you turn on a television or your computer，or people come to your door with different products and services，all of those are competing for consumers’time and energy，he said.
Interested users are first required to sign up for Informed Delivery.Once registered，the consumer receives a daily email with virtual(虚拟)images of letters or other things to be delivered.The US Postal Service says it can especially help those who have a mailbox at their local post office，so they know when to get their mail：
Another postal offering is a service that seeks to make advertising-related mail-often called junk mail—more fun.The service uses virtual and augmented reality(虚拟现实和增强现实)to let consumers interact with their junk mail.Many companies put special coding on their advertising，which can give users an interactive experience.Some companies even put virtual reality eyeglasses in the mail to make their ads come to life.Consumers have mixed reactions to virtual and augmented reality advertising.“You can find some good things within junk mail.It is a good idea.We’11 see how it works，”Postal service user Victor Teah said.But Jocelyn Coatney doesn’t think it would change her mind about junk mail.“For some，that might be fun.But for me，it would be useless，”she said.
12. What does the underlined word“they”in the first paragraph refer to?
A. The images of the mail.
B. Informed Delivery services.
C. Letters，magazines and other mail.
D. The traditional advertising—related mail.
13. Why does the US Postal Service create Informed Delivery?
A. To make people interested in mails.
B. To improve its competitiveness.
C. To be relevant to other services.
D. To make a great fortune.
14. Which of the following best summarizes Paragraph 2?
A. The fall of the US Postal Service.
B. The replacement of the mail service.
C. The potential market for the new service.
D. The challenge the US Postal Service faces.
15. Why does the author write what Victor and Jocelyn said at the end of the text?
A. To prove virtual and augmented reality is helpful.
B. To show us many users are using advertising—related mail.
C. To give examples of users’mixed reactions to junk mail.
D. To wish virtual and augmented reality advertising to work better.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了美国邮电业为对未来信件感兴趣的用户提供了一种浏览信件的方法。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。The postal service will send consumers images(图像)of their letters，magazines and other mail before they arrive.这句话的意思是在它们到达之前，邮政服务将向用户发送他们信件的图像，杂志和其他邮件。由此推断出“they”指的是信件、杂志和其他邮件，故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在第一段The new service is called Informed Delivery.It is an attempt to remain competitive in an ever—changing world.可知美国邮政业创建Informed Delivery是为了提高它的竞争力，故选B。
【14题详解】
段落大意题。第二段David Rupert is a media relations specialist who spoke about the competition the agency now faces.是这一段的主题句，结合本段内容，可知这一段主要讲了美国邮政业面临的挑战，故选D。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。答案定位在最后一段Consumers have mixed reactions to virtual and augmented reality advertising.可知作者通过举例说明用户对垃圾邮件的不同反应，故选C。

【点睛】完形填空是高考英语中最难的一个题，正确解答完形填空题是考试成功至关重要的保障。完形填空所选的文章都是具有逻辑关系、意义相连的语篇，因此，在行文中不可避免地会出现词语的复现、前后同义或反义、相互照应等现象。所以，解题时应联系上下文寻找相关线索，如某一个词的原词、指代词、同义词、近义词、上义词、下义词和概括词等。完形填空的解题方法很多，而词汇复现法就是最常见的方法之一。词汇复现包括原词复现、同义词复现、同根词复现、概括词复现以及结构复现等。本题中的4小题中的idea;9小题中的card等都采用了同义词或原词复现的方法。但由于我们在做题时不可能总是重复地阅读文章，因此，在做完形填空时要培养一种捕捉并记忆相关信息的能力。

42. a 43. falls
44. during 45. importance
46. faster 47. to display
48. are encouraged
49. but/yet
50. developing
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国将为农民们设立丰收节。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。create 与the first festival之间是被动关系，用过去分词作定语，所以填created。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。文中泛指“一次新闻发布会”，press的首字母发音是辅音，所以填不定冠词a。
【43题详解】
考查时态。根据usually，可知表示经常或反复发生的事情，用一般现在时，主语Autumnal equinox是第三人称单数，谓语动词用单数，所以填falls。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：秋分通常在九月二十二和九月二十四之间到来，在全国农业收获季节期间。文中表示“在…期间”，所以填during。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：这个节日赋予农村工作更大的重要性，并且奋力争取农业和农村地区的更快发展。作动词give的宾语，用名词，所以填importance。
【46题详解】
考查比较级。句意：这个节日赋予农村工作更大的重要性，并且奋力争取农业和农村地区的更快发展。文中表示“更快发展”，暗含比较含义，用比较级，所以填faster。
【47题详解】
考查不定式。句意：为了展示农业丰收，各种各样的庆祝活动被组织。文中表示“为了…”，作目的状语，用不定式，所以填to display。
【48题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：农民被鼓励参与与工作和生活相关的活动，但是在庆祝活动中，应该避免浪费。表示经常或反复发生的动作，用一般现在时，“农民”和“鼓励”之间是被动关系，用被动语态，主语Farmers是复数，所以填are encouraged。
【49题详解】
考查连词。句意：农民被鼓励参与与工作和生活相关的活动，但是在庆祝活动中，应该避免浪费。文中表示转折关系，所以填but/yet。
【50题详解】
考查常见用法。By是介词，后面接v+ing形式，所以填developing。

I like the Spring Festival，during that I usually enjoy myself greatly.All the family members will get together to have a big dinner.We also visit our relatives or friends.To my great joy，my grandparent always give me some lucky money.Last year，I spent the spring Festival happily as usual，but one thing made me surprising.My grandparents didn’t give me 1ucky money at the first! It seemed that they had forgotten about them.Seeing I was puzzled，my grandpa laughed.Several minutes late，my mobile phone received a message.It was my grandpa sent lucky money to me secret through WeChat!What modern and humorous my grandpa was!
【答案】第一处： that改成which
第二处： or改成and
第三处： surprising改成surprised
第五处：去掉the
第六处： them改成it
第七处： late改成later
第八处： grandpa后面加who或that
第九处： secret改成 secretly
第十处： what改成how
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了每年春节，爷爷奶奶都给我压岁钱。但是去年，起初，我的爷爷奶奶没有给我压岁钱。正在我吃惊的时候，收到了爷爷发来的微信红包。
【详解】第一处：考查定语从句。这里含有一个定语从句，the Spring Festival是先行词，介词+关系代词引导的定语从句，指物，只能用which，所以that改成which。
第二处：考查连词。句意：我们也拜访我们的亲戚和朋友。文中表示并列关系，所以or改成and。
第三处：考查名词单复数。句意：令我十分高兴的是，我的爷爷奶奶总是给我一些压岁钱。文中表示“我的爷爷奶奶”是复数意义，用名词复数，所以grandparent改成grandparents。
第四处：考查形容词。句意：去年，我像往常一样愉快地过春节，但有一件事让我惊讶。v+ed修饰人，v+ing修饰物，这里修饰人，所以surprising改成surprised。
第五处：考查固定短语。句意：起初，我的爷爷奶奶没有给我压岁钱。at first起初，该短语是固定短语，所以去掉the。
第六处：考查代词。指代上文的some lucky money，是不可数名词，用it，所以them改成it。
第七处：考查常见用法。句意：几分钟以后，我的手机收到一条信息。表示“几分钟以后”，用later，所以late改成later。
第八处：考查强调句。把It was去掉，这个句子仍然成分完整，语义清晰，所以这是一个强调句。强调句的基本结构是：it is / was + 被强调部分 + that + 句子的其他成分，如果被强调的部分是人，也可以用who代替that，所以grandpa后面加who或that。
第九处：考查副词。修饰动词sent，用副词，所以secret改成 secretly。
第十处：考查感叹句。what和how都能引导感叹句，what后面接名词，而how之后接形容词， modern and humorous是形容词，所以what改成how。
【点睛】小题8考查强调句，能够准确判断出强调句是关键。判断是否是强调句的一个简便的方法就是：把It was，that结构去掉，如果句子结构完整就是强调句;如果句子结构不完整，那句子中就缺少了成分，可能是状语也可能是从句 。这道题目把It was去掉，这个句子仍然成分完整，语义清晰，所以这是一个强调句。强调句的基本结构是：it is / was + 被强调部分 + that + 句子的其他成分，如果被强调的部分是人，也可以用who代替that，所以grandpa后面加who或that。
