能?！?題詳解】考查時態(tài)語態(tài)。句意：考古學家們被派往該地進行一項建立新博物館的長期項目。此處主語與謂語構成被動關系，且描述過去發(fā)生的事情應用一般過去時的被動語態(tài)，主語為Archaeologists，謂語用復數(shù)。故填weresent?！?題詳解】考查時態(tài)語態(tài)。句意：1979年，在大約2000名戰(zhàn)士被發(fā)現(xiàn)后，博物館向公眾開放。此處主語與謂語構成被動關系，且結合上文In1979可知描述過去發(fā)生的事情應用一般過去時的被動語態(tài)，主語為2,000warriors，謂語用復數(shù)。故填werediscovered。【3題詳解】考查介詞。句意：展出的兵馬俑是一支由大約8000個真人大小的陶俑組成的軍隊，埋葬在統(tǒng)一中國的第一位皇帝秦始皇的陵墓附近。結合句意表示“展出”可知，短語為ondisplay。故填on。4題詳解】考查非謂語動詞。句意：展出的兵馬俑是一支由大約8000個真人大小的陶俑組成的軍隊，埋葬在統(tǒng)一中國的第一位皇帝秦始皇的陵墓附近。分析句子結構可知bury在句中應用非謂語動詞形式，與邏輯主語anarmyofaround8,000life-sizedpotteryfigures構成被動關系，故用過去分詞作定語。故填buried?！?題詳解】考查狀語從句。句意：因此，他希望在自己的墳墓里復制地上生命的財產(chǎn)，包括他的帝國的一個縮影和一個私人收藏室，因為他認為國家越大，家庭越富有，埋葬就應該越精致。引導原因狀語從句，表示“因為”應用because。故填because。【6題詳解】考查時態(tài)和主謂一致。句意：雖然他們的功能不同，但每個戰(zhàn)士都穿著適合他的角色的制服，并有獨特的身體特征。根據(jù)上文“therearedifferencesintheirfunction”可知用一般現(xiàn)在時，且主語由each修飾，謂語用第三人稱單數(shù)形式。故填wears?！?題詳解】考查非謂語動詞。句意：這些兵馬俑是為了在秦始皇死后保護他而建造的，另外還有大約700匹兵馬俑和130輛戰(zhàn)車。作介詞of的賓語，guard應用動名詞形式。故填guarding?！?題詳解】考查非謂語動詞。句意：它的基本規(guī)劃和設計源自中國傳統(tǒng)的皇家陵墓，但西方的影響改進了新的技術，使工匠能夠增加他們制作的陶俑的尺寸。結合句意表示“使……能夠……”短語為enable…todosth.。故填toincrease?！?題詳解】考查最高級。句意：最近最驚人的發(fā)現(xiàn)之一是一個巨大的坐像（大到他可以穿18碼的鞋）。此處為“oneof+形容詞最高級+可數(shù)名詞復數(shù)形式”結構，astonishing應用最高級，在前面加themost。故填themostastonishing?！?0題詳解】考查代詞。句意：但對這些影響的研究還需要很長一段時間才能得出決定性的答案，因為皇帝的陵墓本身還沒有被挖掘，因為擔心破壞里面的東西。此處指代陵墓本身，應用反身代詞itself。故填itself。SectionB(10’)Directions:Completethefollowingpassagebyusingthewordsinthebox.Eachwordcanonlybeusedonce.Notethatthereisonewordmorethanyouneed.A.profitablyB.fallenC.sellD.dangerousAB.dumpAC.efficientlyAD.plasticBC.endlessBD.civilizationCD.throwawayABC.stylishThevalueofupcyclingRecyclingisawell-knownideathatreferstoreusingwastematerialsinanywaypossible.Butwhatabout“upcycling”?It’sanewword,eventhoughit’ssomethingthathasbeengoingonsincehuman____11____began.Itmeansreusingwastematerialssothattheyhavegreatervalue.Throughouthistory,peoplehavealwaysdonecreativethingswith“trash”.Forexample,they’veusedstrawanddeadleavestomakeroofs,skinfromdeadanimalstomakeleathergoods,andwoodfrom____12____treestomakeboats.Sowhyisthereanewwordforitnow?Oneanswertothisquestionisthatwereusefewerandfewerthings,andsohavebecomea(n)“____13____”society.Thishasraisedhugequestionsaboutwaste:Wherecanwe____14____itall?Willitpollutetheenvironment?Coulditbe____15____toourhealth?Theevidenceiseverywhere—eveninthePacificOcean,wherebillionsofbitsofbroken____16____floatnearthesurface.Fisheatthem,andthenweeatthefish.Soupcyclershaveadoptedthisnewwordtofocuspeople’sattentiononhowwastecannotsimplybereused,butbereused____17____.Infact,upcyclersdon’tliketheideaofwasteandprefertocallitan“asset”,somethingofvalue.Nowadays,therearelotsoforganizationsthat____18____productswithupcycledmaterial.Someartistsanddesignershaveupcycledthingslikedenimfromoldjeanstomakerugs,andwoodfromoldhousestomakefurniture.Othershaveevenusedcandywrapperstomakehandbags!Sometimesthey’lladda(n)____19____elementtotheirproducts,suchasabeautifulmosaic(馬賽克)madewithbrokendishes.Witha(n)_____20_____supplyof“assets”,itseemsthatupcyclinghasagreatfuture.【答案】11.BD12.B13.CD14.AB15.D16.AD17.A18.C19.ABC20.BC【解析】【分析】這是一篇議論文。主要論述了“upcycling”（升級再造）的含義及意義?！?1題詳解】考查名詞。句意：雖然這是人類文明開始以來一直在發(fā)生的事情，但這是一個新詞。根據(jù)句意及分析句型可知此處填名詞，構成名詞短語humancivilization在句中作主語。故選BD項?！?2題詳解】考查形容詞。句意：例如，他們用稻草和枯葉做屋頂，用死去動物的皮做皮革制品，用倒下的樹木做船。分析句子結構可知此處填形容詞，作定語修飾名詞trees。根據(jù)句意，可知此處表示倒下的、死去的樹木。故選B項?！?3題詳解】考查形容詞。句意：對于這個問題，答案之一就是我們重復使用的東西越來越少，因此已經(jīng)成為一個一次性商品充斥的社會。分析句型可知，此處要填形容詞修飾后面的名詞society；根據(jù)“wereusefewerandfewerthings”（我們重復使用東西越來越少了），可知現(xiàn)代社會人們習慣使用一次性物品了。故選CD項。【14題詳解】考查動詞。句意：這引發(fā)了關于垃圾的巨大問題：我們可以把垃圾傾倒在哪里?分析句型可知，此處填動詞。根據(jù)句意，此處意指把垃圾傾倒在哪里。故選AB項。【15題詳解】考查形容詞。句意：它對我們會有害嗎？分析句型可知，此處填形容詞；根據(jù)句意，此處考查短語bedangerousto（對......有害）。故選D項。【16題詳解】考查名詞。句意：即使在太平洋，這種證據(jù)也無處不在，那里有數(shù)十億的塑料碎片漂浮在海面附近。根據(jù)分析句子結構可知此處填名詞，在句中作主語；根據(jù)句意，此處意指有大量的塑料漂浮在太平洋上。故選AD項。【17題詳解】考查副詞。句意：因此，升級回收者采用了這個新詞，讓人們關注垃圾如何不簡單地重復利用，而是有利可圖地重復利用。分析句子結構可知，此處要用副詞來修飾前面的動詞reuse；根據(jù)句意，此處意指要有利潤可圖地去回收垃圾。故選A項?！?8題詳解】考查動詞。句意：現(xiàn)在，有很多組織銷售升級后材料的產(chǎn)品。分析句型可知，此處填動詞在定語從句中作謂語動詞。根據(jù)前句“Infact,upcyclersdon’tliketheideaofwasteandprefertocallitan“asset”,somethingofvalue.”（事實上，升級回收者們不喜歡廢品這個想法，而是更愿意把它稱作資產(chǎn)。），所以很多組織銷售改造升級后的廢品。故選C項?！?9題詳解】考查形容詞。句意：有時他們會給一個產(chǎn)品添加時尚元素，比如由破碎的盤子做成的漂亮的馬賽克。分析句子結構，可知此處要填形容詞修飾后面的名詞element；根據(jù)“suchasabeautifulmosaic(馬賽克)madewithbrokendishes”，可知藝術家往產(chǎn)品中加入了時尚元素。故選ABC項?！?0題詳解】考查形容詞。句意：有著無窮無盡的“資產(chǎn)”供應，升級回收似乎有著一個偉大的未來。分析句子結構，可知此處要填形容詞修飾后面的名詞supply；根據(jù)句意，此處意指廢品數(shù)量很多，利用廢品改造升級回收利用有著無盡的資源供應。故選BC項。III.ReadingComprehensionSectionA(15’)Directions:ForeachblankinthefollowingpassagetherearefourwordsorphrasesmarkedA,B,CandD.Fillineachblankwiththewordorphrasethatbestfitsthecontext.Formostpeople,thelongestrelationshiptheywillhaveiswiththeirsibling(兄弟姐妹).It’sashame,then,thatwecan’tchoosethem.Aschildren,myyoungersisterandIwerealways____21____witheachother.Iwasjealousofherlooksandshefeltthreatenedbymyacademicsuccess.Butourrivalry(競爭)was____22____comparedtothatofsomefamoussiblings.Take1940smoviestarOliviadeHavillandandJoa
