訓(xùn)練1.完形填空One of my teammates said it best on our last day of the season：“Guys, you are my family. We are all brothers.” Our tennis team is more than just a group of individual players thrown _1_；there is a friendship _2_ by no other group with which I have been involved. We are _3_， yet connected. We have studentathletes from all four years of high school, from different parts of the city, and from different families and social _4_. Nevertheless, we are all _5_ by a shared love of tennis. The tennis team _6_ to me because it contains two things that I treasure most: tennis and _7_.Ever since I was ten years old, the _8_ aspect of tennis has attracted me to the physical sport. My first tennis coach always used to say, “Tennis is 10% physical and 90% mental.”_9_ the mental strength to stay _10_ and controlled under pressure, skills are _11_. Sometimes I feel like I have two _12_ in a match: me against the person on the other side of the net, and me against the person inside my head, telling me to hit a better shot.However, despite the _13_ pressures of tennis, the brotherhood _14_ by working together as a team helps spread the _15_ of the pressure over an entire group. We _16_ each other on and off the court. We do this because we have become a(n) _17_ away from home. I play my best tennis when I have my team's full support, _18_ in the knowledge that they are always backing me _19_. I know that each one of us puts everything we have into every _20_ whether we are playing or cheering.篇章導(dǎo)讀：本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。我們是有著不同背景的網(wǎng)球隊(duì)員，對(duì)網(wǎng)球的熱愛使我們組成一個(gè)大家庭；在比賽中，由于得到了隊(duì)員的全力支持，“我”常常能發(fā)揮出最佳球技。網(wǎng)球隊(duì)讓我們成為好兄弟。1A.around BbackCforward Dtogether答案：D根據(jù)第一段首句中的“Guys, you are my family.

I should have paid a man to do it, but foolishly confident in my driving ability, I decided to hire a lorry and drive it myself.Moving the lorry backward in my yard, I crashed into a small shed, causing permanent damage. Fortunately I owned the shed. I loaded up with the furniture and set out. By now it was rush hour. My nerves broke down, as I drove the huge lorry through the streets nervously.At last I arrived at Charlotte Street and found an available parking space. I moved the lorry into it only to notice three people at a pavement cafe waving to me. I got out, trembling violently, like one who had just finished a stormy Atlantic crossing. “You've hit the car parked behind you，” they said. I examined the car. There were white scratches on its front face. It bore a disabled sign. So, now I was a bad driver and a bad man. Under the severe look of the three, I left an apologetic note on the damaged car's windscreen, giving my phone number.I unloaded the furniture, dripping the sweat, wanting only to escape from the monster. I drove it back to its base at Edgware. On arrival, the boss told me I must fill it up with petrol before returning it. “Just charge me，” I cried, still shaking with fear. He stared at me with understanding. No doubt he'd witnessed others in this state before. “How about I drive you to a petrol station, you fill up, and I drive it back？” he asked.He danced the great lorry through the traffic so carefully that it would have shamed me if I had not been so grateful.篇章導(dǎo)讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章描述了“我”因?yàn)閷?duì)自己的駕駛技術(shù)有信心而租用卡車自己裝運(yùn)家具，結(jié)果導(dǎo)致一系列問題的故事。4The man felt _ to have delivered the furniture himself.Agrateful BproudCconfident Dregretful答案：D推理判斷題。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵信息第一段第二句“I should have paid a man to do it, but foolishly confident in my driving ability, I decided to hire a lorry and drive it myself.”可知，“我”本應(yīng)付費(fèi)讓別人裝運(yùn)家具的，但是出于對(duì)自己駕車能力的愚蠢的自信，“我”決定租一輛卡車自己裝運(yùn)；結(jié)合下文描述的“我”停車時(shí)撞上別人的車以及不得已讓出租卡車的老板送自己去加油站為卡車加油以便符合卡車歸還要求可知，“我”對(duì)決定自己裝運(yùn)家具的事感到后悔。D項(xiàng)意為“后悔的”，符合語境，故D項(xiàng)正確。5The man trembled violently because _.Athe lorry was too difficult to driveBhe caused a terrible traffic accidentChe was afraid to see the three peopleDthe furniture was too heavy for him答案：A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“I got out, trembling violently, like one who had just finished a stormy Atlantic crossing.”可知，“我”下了車，緊張得渾身劇烈地顫抖，就像橫渡了波濤洶涌的大西洋；再結(jié)合第二段最后一句“My nerves broke down, as I drove the huge lorry through the streets nervously.”可知，由于卡車難以駕駛，“我”戰(zhàn)戰(zhàn)兢兢駕車駛過大街，故A項(xiàng)正確。6The man said he was a bad man most probably because _.Ahe shouldn't have driven the lorry himselfBhe made the traffic accident on purposeChe shouldn't have caused trouble for the disabledDhe parked the big lorry on the pavement答案：C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“There were white scratches on its front face. It bore a disabled sign. So, now I was a bad driver and a bad man.”可知，由于刮壞了帶有殘疾人標(biāo)志的車，這可能會(huì)給其造成不便，因此“我”覺得自己是一個(gè)壞人，故C項(xiàng)正確。7The writer intended to suggest that _.Ait was thrilling to drive a lorryBbeing too confident is foolishCit was hard to avoid accidentsDthe boss was expert in driving答案：B推理判斷題。通讀全文可知，本文的主題句是第一段第二句“I should have paid a man to do it, but foolishly confident in my driving ability, I decided to hire a lorry and drive it myself.”；結(jié)合全文描述可知，“我”因?yàn)閷?duì)自己的駕駛技術(shù)有信心而租用卡車自己裝運(yùn)家具，結(jié)果卻導(dǎo)致一系列問題，所以本文旨在說明“過分自信是愚蠢的”，故B項(xiàng)正確。CPeople who have red hair and people who have lost their hair could finally get their own emoji (表情符號(hào)). The Emojipedia website has shown new emojis following demands that they should be more diverse. If its ideas are approved, the new emojis could be added in 2018, alongside new characters that have grey, curly or Afro hair.“New styles focus on appearances that aren't currently supported in the informal skin tone and hair color pairings (搭配) used on many cellphones，” showed one page on the website. The page gave Jessica Chastain and Ed Sheeran as examples of people with red hair. Sinead O'Connor and Samuel I. Jackson were given as examples of people with no hair or a shaven head.The emojis could be released in 2018 if chosen by the Unicode Consortium which met in January, 2017 following a number of complaints about lack of diversity. “Nonnaturally occurring features, such as blue hair and tattoos, are not included in this project，” the website added.At the end of 2016, Apple published its iOS 10.2 software update which included 72 new emojis such as firefighters, astronauts, rockstars and so on. But people who have red hair were notably absent, causing a global protest.A website in Scotland demanding ginger emojis got 20,000 signatures. The main issue is that there is one organization, known as Unicode Consortium, who controls emojis on iPhone.In March, a new list of emojis was published by Emojipedia which might be released later this year. However, the emojis need to be approved by the Unicode Technical Committee before people can use them.In 2015, ginger emojis were published on the Google Play Store for Android. But up until now, the Unicode Consortium has not been willing to give in to ginger campaigners.篇章導(dǎo)讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了表情庫(kù)里將有可能增加紅發(fā)人士和光頭人士等專屬的表情符號(hào)。8Which of the following emojis could be included in 2018?ACharacters with black hair.BCharacters with white skin.CCharacters with shaven heads.DCharacters with smiling faces.答案：C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)前兩段可知，紅發(fā)人士和光頭人士有可能會(huì)獲得他們的專屬表情符號(hào)，因?yàn)槿藗儽г贡砬閹?kù)中的表情符號(hào)不夠豐富。如果這些表情符號(hào)獲得批準(zhǔn)，在2018年就可以增加到表情庫(kù)里，此外，表情庫(kù)里還會(huì)有擁有灰白發(fā)、卷發(fā)以及非洲式發(fā)型等新的表情符號(hào)。所以C項(xiàng)正確。9Tattoos are rejected by the Unicode Consortium because _.Athere is no demand for themBpeople dislike such emojisCthey are out of fashionDthey are not natural identity答案：D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段中的“Nonnaturally occurring features, such as blue hair and tattoos, are not included in this project”可知，諸如藍(lán)頭發(fā)和紋身之類不是天然產(chǎn)生的特征是不被包括在這個(gè)項(xiàng)目中的。因此D項(xiàng)正確。10What is the Unicode Consortium's attitude to ginger emojis?AFavorable. BAmbiguous.CDisapproving. DUncaring.答案：C推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句“But up until now, the Unicode Consortium has not been willing to give in to ginger campaigners.”可知，直到現(xiàn)在，統(tǒng)一碼協(xié)會(huì)仍然不愿讓姜黃發(fā)色表情符號(hào)的倡導(dǎo)者們使用這個(gè)表情符號(hào)，故統(tǒng)一碼協(xié)會(huì)的態(tài)度是“不贊成的(Disapproving)”。故選C項(xiàng)。favorable意為“贊成的”，ambiguous意為“模棱兩可的”，uncaring意為“冷漠的，無同情心的”，都不符合題意。11What is the best title for the text?ANew Emojis to Be Added in 2018BComplaints about the Present EmojisCDemands for New and Informal EmojisDGlobal Protests Against Lack of Diversity答案：A標(biāo)題判斷題。通讀全文可知，本文介紹了表情庫(kù)里將有可能增加紅發(fā)人士和光頭人士等專屬的表情符號(hào)，并講述了增加這些表情符號(hào)的原因；同時(shí)結(jié)合文章第一段首句和最后一句(主題句)，可判斷A項(xiàng)最適合作標(biāo)題。- 10 -
