训练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 teams 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.篇章导读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。我们是有着不同背景的网球队员，对网球的热爱使我们组成一个大家庭；在比赛中，由于得到了队员的全力支持，“我”常常能发挥出最佳球技。网球队让我们成为好兄弟。1A.around BbackCforward Dtogether答案：D根据第一段首句中的“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. “Youve 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 cars 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 hed 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.篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章描述了“我”因为对自己的驾驶技术有信心而租用卡车自己装运家具，结果导致一系列问题的故事。4The man felt _ to have delivered the furniture himself.Agrateful BproudCconfident Dregretful答案：D推理判断题。根据关键信息第一段第二句“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”本应付费让别人装运家具的，但是出于对自己驾车能力的愚蠢的自信，“我”决定租一辆卡车自己装运；结合下文描述的“我”停车时撞上别人的车以及不得已让出租卡车的老板送自己去加油站为卡车加油以便符合卡车归还要求可知，“我”对决定自己装运家具的事感到后悔。D项意为“后悔的”，符合语境，故D项正确。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推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I got out, trembling violently, like one who had just finished a stormy Atlantic crossing.”可知，“我”下了车，紧张得浑身剧烈地颤抖，就像横渡了波涛汹涌的大西洋；再结合第二段最后一句“My nerves broke down, as I drove the huge lorry through the streets nervously.”可知，由于卡车难以驾驶，“我”战战兢兢驾车驶过大街，故A项正确。6The man said he was a bad man most probably because _.Ahe shouldnt have driven the lorry himselfBhe made the traffic accident on purposeChe shouldnt have caused trouble for the disabledDhe parked the big lorry on the pavement答案：C细节理解题。根据第三段中的“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，由于刮坏了带有残疾人标志的车，这可能会给其造成不便，因此“我”觉得自己是一个坏人，故C项正确。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推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文的主题句是第一段第二句“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.”；结合全文描述可知，“我”因为对自己的驾驶技术有信心而租用卡车自己装运家具，结果却导致一系列问题，所以本文旨在说明“过分自信是愚蠢的”，故B项正确。CPeople who have red hair and people who have lost their hair could finally get their own emoji (表情符号). 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 arent 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 OConnor 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.篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了表情库里将有可能增加红发人士和光头人士等专属的表情符号。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细节理解题。根据前两段可知，红发人士和光头人士有可能会获得他们的专属表情符号，因为人们抱怨表情库中的表情符号不够丰富。如果这些表情符号获得批准，在2018年就可以增加到表情库里，此外，表情库里还会有拥有灰白发、卷发以及非洲式发型等新的表情符号。所以C项正确。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细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Nonnaturally occurring features, such as blue hair and tattoos, are not included in this project”可知，诸如蓝头发和纹身之类不是天然产生的特征是不被包括在这个项目中的。因此D项正确。10What is the Unicode Consortiums attitude to ginger emojis?AFavorable. BAmbiguous.CDisapproving. DUncaring.答案：C推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“But up until now, the Unicode Consortium has not been willing to give in to ginger campaigners.”可知，直到现在，统一码协会仍然不愿让姜黄发色表情符号的倡导者们使用这个表情符号，故统一码协会的态度是“不赞成的(Disapproving)”。故选C项。favorable意为“赞成的”，ambiguous意为“模棱两可的”，uncaring意为“冷漠的，无同情心的”，都不符合题意。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标题判断题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了表情库里将有可能增加红发人士和光头人士等专属的表情符号，并讲述了增加这些表情符号的原因；同时结合文章第一段首句和最后一句(主题句)，可判断A项最适合作标题。- 10 -
