【題目】No one could say that Katy Perry is an ordinary artist. Her songs are not just about sweet love and heartbreaks, 【1】 usually have bigger themes. Take the songs Firework (2010) and Roar(2013) for example, 【2】 Perry sings about being our own master and 【3】 (discover) our true value. Earlier this year, she 【4】 (announce) her new album (專輯) Witness, together with a new idea for W music Perry calls her new style “purpose pop”, meaning a 【5】 (society) and political message. It seems that Perry has become tired 【6】 simply encouraging people. Now, she wants to educate them politically as well. The best example of Perry’s purposeful pop is 【7】 (probable) the song Chained to the Rhythm, in which Perry criticizes the 【8】 (behave) that people are unwilling to think more critically (批判的) about the world.

But when it comes to the concept (概念) of purposeful pop, it is, in fact, something a lot of pop stars have been doing for a while. For example, Beyonce’s 2016 song Formation deals with various problems such as an 【9】 (argue) between white policemen and black citizens (公民) in the US, 【10】 (hope) to create change through music.

【答案】

【1】but

【2】where

【3】discovering

【4】announced

【5】social

【6】of

【7】probably

【8】behavior(u)r

【9】argument

【10】hoping

【解析】本文介紹了藝術(shù)家Katy Perry創(chuàng)作歌曲的有關(guān)理念。

【1】but 考查連詞。not…but…固定短語“不是……而是……”。

【2】where 考查定語從句。先行詞the songs在定語從句中作地點狀語類似于in the songs，用關(guān)系副詞where表示地點。

【3】discovering 考查非謂語動詞。discovering和being our own master一道都是作介詞about的賓語。

【4】announced 考查動詞時態(tài)。Early this year這是一個過去的時間狀語，本句用一般過去時，表示發(fā)生在過去的一個事實。

【5】social 考查形容詞。social和后面的political構(gòu)成并列形容詞一起作名詞message的定語。

【6】of 考查介詞。become(be) tied of 固定短語，意思是“對……感到厭倦”。

【7】probably 考查副詞。這里是副詞修飾謂語動詞is,表示“可能是”。

【8】behavior(u)r 考查名詞。the behavior(u)r（行為） 作為criticized的賓語。that后面引導的是定語從句限定the behavior(u)r。

【9】argument 考查名詞。argument “爭論”的意思，此空前面的an 和后面的介詞短語between white policemen and black citizens (公民) in the US都是作名詞argument的定語。

【10】hoping 考查非謂語動詞。這里的現(xiàn)在分詞短語作謂語動詞的伴隨狀語，起著補充說明作用。

【題目】Charles Babbage was born on 26 December 1791, probably in London, the son of a banker. By the time he went to Cambridge University in 1810 he was very interested in mathematics.

In 1812, Babbage and several other friends formed theAnalytical Society. As a student, he was also a member of other societies such asThe Ghost Club, concerned with finding out supernatural phenomena (超自然現(xiàn)象), and the Extractors Club, devoted to freeing its members from the madhouse(精神病院), should any be placed in one.

After graduation Babbage was hired by the Royal Institution to lecture on calculus(微積分). Within two years he had been elected a member of the Royal Society and, with his Cambridge friends, succeeded in setting up the Astronomical Society in 1820, the first to challenge the influence and power of the Royal Society. From 1828 to 1839, Babbage was Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge.

The 1820s saw Babbage work on his 'Difference Engine', a machine which could perform mathematical calculations. At the beginning a six-wheeled model was constructed. He then developed plans for a bigger, better, machine - Difference Engine 2. He also worked on another invention, the more complex Analytical Engine, on which his fame as a computer pioneer now largely rests. It was designed to be able to perform any arithmetical calculation using punched（打孔的） cards that would take the instructions, as well as a memory unit to store numbers and many other most important parts of today's computers. But neither the Analytical Engine nor Difference Engine 2 was finished in Babbage's lifetime.

Babbage also worked in the fields of philosophy and code-breaking. He died at his home in London on 18 October 1871.

【1】What did the Extractors Club aim to do?

【題目】Sarah Bigler, who lives in Indianapolis, was shopping with her kids at a Target last week, according to a Facebook post. When Bigler joined the checkout line, she ended up behind an elderly woman who not only wanted to pay in change, but also requested to pay for her items one by one.

The employee, Ishmael Gilbert, remained calm and accommodating, helping the woman with whatever assistance she needed. “Never once did this employee get unfriendly, angry or roll his eyes.” Bigler wrote. “He was nothing but patient and kind.”

The mom, whose daughter had watched the employee’s understanding conduct, took a picture of Gilbert’s interaction with the elderly woman and shared it on Facebook. She mentioned that that day, both she and her daughter were reminded of how important patience is. “We left Target with a cart full of consumable items, but what is more—a heart full of gratitude for such an invaluable lesson.” Bigler wrote. “If you are ever in the Glendale Target give Ishmael a smile and a nod. The world could use mole people like him.”

Gilbert had started working at the store a few days before Bigler’s visit. The Indianapolis Star reported. While the elderly woman was checking out, she became visibly nervous. Gilbert reacted by treating her with respect and care. Having counted out the change, he answered her a few questions and even went to another checkout lane to find the shopper a reusable bag, all while other shoppers were leaving his line for faster lanes.

While watching Gilbert for a while, the mom wrote that she was no longer angry. In fact, she realized it was a privilege to catch such polite behavior. “I realized I hadn’t been inconvenienced at all—that my daughter was instead witnessing the man’s patience and taught this valuable lesson by a complete stranger;” Bigler wrote in the Facebook post. “Furthermore, I realized that I, too, needed a refresher on this lesson.”

【1】What can we learn about the elderly woman?

A. She wanted to be given small change.

B. She required a separate payment in change.

C. She had no change for her items.

D. She demanded to change a large note.

【2】What did the employee do for the old lady?

A. He accepted her credit card.

B. He packed up all her items.

C. He helped her count the change.

D. He let other shoppers leave his line.

【3】What was the mother’s original attitude towards the old lady’s request?

【4】What’s the purpose of the passage?

A. To blame some particular customers.

【題目】Failure means the beginning of something new. It opens yourself to new opportunities. 【1】As a matter of fact, sometimes it helps people realize the right thing to do.

【2】 Failing at something is not the end of the world. In fact, it is more like a warning to re-think about your decisions. It is important that we all fail sometimes in order to strengthen ourselves.

Failing at something often brings new experiences and opportunities that can improve you at whatever you failed at. 【3】Knowing well the situation you are in is the basis of your future success. Having another opportunity at something can be important in life when trying to reach your goals or to accomplish something important to you.

We have all learned new skills in life and we learned them only after first failing to do them properly. 【4】However, we are all humans and it is human nature to hate failure. I think it is especially difficulty for us as teenagers. Somehow, because we are getting older, we feel we should learn more quickly and succeed more quickly than we did when we were younger. Failure is the most natural thing on the way towards achievements. 【5】.

The opportunities brought on from failure are usually more rewarding than actually succeeding in the first place. Failure isn’t always something to fear or to avoid. In lots of cases failure provides a greater chance to learn the right way.

A. We know this is true.

B. Failure isn’t always bad.

C. Failure can be avoided in some cases.

D. Failing helps you realize the reality.

E. A fear of failure is likely to lead to pressure.

F. Failure helps you adjust your plans.
