2.阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式.
For you,the"Clear and Bright"day that falls in every April might be no more than just another holiday-the fact that it comes with three days off school matters to most students(61)more  (much) than the fact that it is part of the 24 solar terms (二十四节气).
But this ancient system that Chinese people have used(62)to keep (keep) track of the time of year was added to the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(人类非物质文化遗产) on Nov.30.
To be fair,the terms do sound old;they(63)were invented(invent) thousands of years ago to offer weather information for agricultural(64)activities (activity).But the truth is(65)that they still have an influence on our lives today,even if we don't realize it most of the time.For example,people from(66)northern(north)China are in the habit of eating dumplings(67)on  the day of Winter Solstice (冬至).And on Start of Autumn,some treat(68)themselves(they) to a big feast,especially of meat,something they call"putting on autumn weight",or tieqiubiao.According to Chinese writer and academic Yu Shicun,the system is a philosophy of time,(69)whichapplies to everything.And this means they are(70)unlikely(likely) to die out.

分析 本文主要讲述与二十四节气相关的一些习俗.

解答 61.more 考查副词比较.根据句中than,用比较级.
62.to keep 考查动词不定式.此处动词不定式表示目的,用目的状语.
63.were invented 考查动词时态和语态.they与invent之间是动宾关系,且根据句中时间状语 thousands of years ago,用一般过去时的被动语态.
64.activities 考查名词复数."农业活动"不止一个,要用复数形式.
65.that 考查连词.表语从句they still have an influence on our lives today,even if we don't realize it most of the time是完整的,用连接词that引导.
66.northern 考查形容词.China是名词,其前加形容词northern作定语.
67.on 考查介词.在具体的一天用介词on.
68.themselves 考查代词.根据句意:一些人犒赏自己一顿大餐.用反身代词themselves.
69.which 考查定语从句.分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句,先行词a philosophy of time在从句中作主语,用关系代词which.
70.unlikely 考查固定搭配.根据句意:这意味着它们不太可能消失.be unlikely to do意为"不大可能做",是固定搭配.

点评 在一篇200词左右的语篇(短文或对话)中留出10处空白,部分空白的后面给出单词的基本形式,要求考生根据上下文填写空白处所需的内容或所提供单词的正确形式,所填写词语不得多于3个单词.要做好语法填空题,理解短文是解题的前提,扎实的词汇、句型和语法知识是基础,英语国家的背景知识是必要的补充.考生须灵活运用语法知识,如单词词性、单词时态、名词单复数、连接词、代词、冠词等判断各空白处应填写的内容.答完后,还要通读全文,核对所填单词形式是否正确,是否符合语境.

12.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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.选项中有两项为多余选项.
This Way to Dreamland
Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant,especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing.Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what's happening around them.They can seem forgetful and clumsy.(36)BThey annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things.
But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history.(37)C Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions?
So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool?
First,understand that some opportunities for daydreaming are better than others.Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.(38)AAnd if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you're daydreaming,try to do it while you are involved in another task-preferably something simple,like taking a shower or walking,or even making meaningless drawings.
It's also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate."Mindfulness",being focused,is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep.(39)E
Finally,you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.(40)G
Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds.

A.Having interesting things to think about also helps.
B.They stare off into space and wander by themselves.
C.Without wandering minds,we wouldn't have relativity,Coke or Post-it notes.
D.At one time,daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses.
E.It involves slow,steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive.
F.Daydreams are often very simple and direct,quite unlike sleep dreams,which may be hard to understand.
G.Therefore,it's a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you're in the daydream zone.

10.第二节根据短文内容,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.
Success Is On The Other Side of Failure
Everybody wants success.Some people aim for it; others just talk about it.(36)DBut the truth is that it's closer than you think.It's just on the other side.You have to want it enough,and be willing enough to get it.
It has no excuses.Fear is your biggest obstacle(障碍).It will cause you to make decisions that may seem"right"at the time.(37)EYou either get it or you don't.The minute you find a reason not to take another step towards success is the moment you stop being successful.In the symphony of success,excuses are just noise.
It is on the other side of obstacles.Everyone faces challenges;different ones at different times.We all handle the same challenges differently; we all have different results.It's how you handle each one and what you do with the results that count.(38)GRemember,you're got to pass obstacles in order to succeed.
(39)BThey call it a ladder of success for a reason.You need to climb it in order to get somewhere.It's no tan escalator(自动扶梯).You can't stand there and let it do the work for you.(40)AIt's going to take determination and commitment on your part to get up and over that wall.

A.You have to do the work yourself.
B.It takes effort,commitment and follow-though.
C.You'll be carrying a heavy load on your shoulders.
D.Often times it just seems like something too far out of reach.
E.But they're preventing you from actually getting over that wall.
F.Even if it works for other people,the same thing just doesn't work for us.
G.An obstacle is something you either find a way around or allow to stop you.

17.
A.Finally,it has taken a giant leap forward.
B.All of the factors pushing online education toward the mainstream of higher education are now crashing together.
C.Over the past few years,he has been teaching himself programming.
D.In other words,Coursera's approach is a long way from a simple online video lecture.
E.Yet the most exciting promise of their company and the like is the role they might play in improving education for the poor around the world.
F.Ng's course in machine learning attracted 104,000 enrollees around the world.
A School That Can Educate Us All
Christos Porios,16,lives in a small Greek city."My mother's a teacher and my father's a mechanic,"he explains,adding that neither is knowledgeable about computers-especially compared with him.(67)C
Porios was taking a free class in machine learning offered by Andrew Ng,a professor at Stanford University,over an online platform Ng developed with his colleagues.Drawing on what he learned,Porios was able to participate in the International Space Apps Challenge,a virtual hackathon (编程马拉松) using data from NASA and other government agencies.
If one teenager in one small city can become a genius hacker through an online course,does it mean the world has changed?We have been hearing about the potential of online education for decades.
(68)A A number of online education platforms have appeared,featuring professors from top universities offering free courses.
(69)F Ng was amazed."It would take me 250 years to teach this many people at Stanford,"he says.And so,just one month into the course,Ng and his Stanford colleague,Daphne Koller,decided to leave their faculty posts (教职) and dive into online teaching full-time.In April,they launched their company,Coursera,with a $16 million round of venture funding.So far,it has managed to team up with 35colleges in nine countries.
To Ng and Koller,Coursera's mission is simple and yet grand.That is to teach millions of people around the world for free,while also transforming higher education.
According to Ng,the world's top 20universities enroll only about 200,000 students.There are million more who could participate in classwork at the higher level,but most of them are far from any of the leading universities.(70)E
Koller says Coursera's total registration has hit 15 million.Porios,the young Greek,is only one of those registrants.His hope is to study in Germany or England someday.He is even toying with the idea of taking classes at MIT or Stanford-but this time in person.
