35、ood5.waved goodbye topete with.1.shelves考查名词复数。 句意:架子被各种各样的蔬菜摆满了茄子、黄瓜、卷心菜和西红柿。shelf 为可数名词, 根据空后的were可知应用复数形式。 2.to support考查动词不定式。 句意: 该疫苗目前在其他多个国家获得批准,以支持世界卫生组织在非洲抗击该疾病的努力。动词不定式在此处表示目的。 petition考查词性转换。句意:还要进行两天的角逐,中国队已处于无敌手的地位。由介词of可以判断此处应该填名词形式。4.in考查介词。句意:如果我们开始在每天的生活中采取一些小措施来留意我们对塑料的使用,我们就可以在减少对

36、塑料的依赖性中发挥重要作用。 play an important role in.在中发挥重要作用。.1.was closing考查时态。根据后文内容可知,这家书店即将关闭。 此处应用过去进行时,表示过去即将发生的动作。2.to run考查非谓语动词。此处it为形式主语,应用动词不定式作真正的主语。3.reading考查非谓语动词。 根据前后语境可知年轻人更愿意读电子书。prefer to do sth.强调特定的或某次具体的动作,即在一定的场合下宁愿做某事。prefer doing sth.强调一般性倾向,即对某种行为的偏爱。4.had happened考查虚拟语气。 根据语境可知,此处表示

37、对过去的虚拟,故用过去完成时。 5.seated考查非谓语动词。此处为固定搭配(be) seated on.,意为“坐在”,表示状态。易错分析该题很容易误填seating。seat是及物动词,意思不是“坐”,而是“使坐”,即主语使宾语坐(在某个位置)。因此,一个坐在某处的人和seat之间是被动关系,要用过去分词来表示。即“使坐”这个动作结束后的状态(坐着)。因此seated表示被动和完成的一种状态。6.surprised考查形容词。主语是I,故填surprised,意为“惊讶的”。7.a考查冠词。 此处表示泛指,且后面的different以辅音音素开头,故填a。8.who考查定语从句。此处为非

38、限制性定语从句,先行词为 a saleswoman,指人,从句中缺少主语, 故填who。 9.into考查介词。turn.into.将变成,此处为被动形式,故填介词into。10.were考查时态和主谓一致。 此处为there be 结构。根据前文可知为一般过去时。由后面的more community events可知应填were。能力提升练.A本文讲述了作者在机器人餐厅的用餐体验,作者对此并不满意,而是渴望有真人服务的餐馆。由此可见, 改变有时也是有利有弊的。1.B词义猜测题。根据第四段中的I watched the little toaster showing customers to t

39、ables while I ate my main dish.可知,机器人把顾客带到餐桌前。It escorted me to a nice table in the back.中的escorted应与guide意义相近,即escort意为“指引,护送”。 register登记,guide指引,conduct组织,rush迅速移动。故选B项。2.A推理判断题。根据第四段中的Pretty soon, I wanted to talk to someone real, even if it was just a few sentences.可知作者想和一个真人说说话。 第五段中作者采取行动,即故意

40、把盘子掉在地板上,结合at last, a real live person would arrive以及下一段可知,作者摔盘子的目的是想和一个真正的人交流。B项“为了吸引机器人的注意”,C项“为了和机器人开玩笑”和D项“为了抱怨糟糕的服务”都不符合题意。故选A项。3.C推理判断题。根据第四段中I was starting to feel extremely angry可知,作者对在这家餐厅吃饭感到非常生气。因此annoyed“恼怒的”最能描述作者在机器人餐馆的就餐心情。satisfied满意的, shocked震惊的,curious好奇的,都不符合作者当时的心情。故选C项。4.D主旨大意题。

41、通读文章可知,本文主要讲述了作者在一家机器人餐厅就餐的经历,故选D项。A项“与机器人吃饭的趋势”,B项“机器人餐厅的优势”和C项“机器人餐厅的饮食种类”都与文章主旨不符。故选D项。B本文是一篇议论文。作者在文中谈到了无现金支付的利弊。5.D细节理解题。根据第一段中的最后一句可知,作者在付账时,商家不让他用现金支付。A选项与文章信息不符;通过第一段中的As I dig into my wallet and start to pull out some cash可知,作者带了现金,因此B项错误;C项文章没有提及。故选D项。6.A细节理解题。根据第二段中的The use of cash in 201

42、9 dropped by 3 percentage points可知, 2019年美国现金使用率在下滑。根据第二段中的because cash is most likely to be used in small transactions可知,现金支付最有可能在小型交易中进行,B项说法太绝对,不符合文意;根据第二段中的it accounted for only 9 percent of the total payment value in the same year可知C项错误;D选项文中没有提及。故选A项。7.C推理判断题。根据第三段的主题句Nearly cashless societies

43、 are already a reality outside the US.可知,作者举瑞典和中国的例子是为了说明从全球来看,有些国家无现金支付普及率很高。故选C项。8.B推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的Critics argue that cashless establishments unfairly affect those who are less likely to have access to noncash payment methods可推断,并不是每个人都有条件选择无现金支付,因此无现金支付对某些社会群体不公平。A、C两项文中没有提及相关信息;由倒数第二段中的while a c

44、ashless society could decrease physical crimes可知,D项错误,无现金社会可以减少暴力犯罪。故选B项。.本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大学的图书馆在科技改革的巨浪中不断转变自己的模式,迎合时代发展的需求。1.A根据上文可知,图书管理员角色转变,大学的图书馆呈现出新的面貌,由此推知,图书馆不会被淘汰,会继续得以存留并繁荣发展,故A项符合此处语境。2.D根据本段的第一句To support modern research,libraries will need to offer students access to the digital versio
