第一节 语法选择 (共 15 小题, 每小题 1 分, 满分 15 分)
When you’re leaning 1 new language, there are a lot of things to remember: spelling rules, grammar

rules, punctuation rules...the list is endless. But there’s 2 that can help you: mnemonics (助记符号).

Mnemonics are techniques to help you remember things. There are a variety of them, 3 rhymes,

spelling acronyms (首字母缩略词) and sentence mnemonics.

Rhymes are a great way 4 things. The sounds, unusual words and rhythm of them help you recall ideas.

Do you know when Columbus sailed to America? There’s a thyme to help you which goes like this, “ 5

fourteen-hundred and ninety-two, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” Most people 6 that since they 7

young and never forget it!

Spelling acronyms involve creating a sentence 8 on the letters of a target word. For example, the

following sentence can help you with the spelling of the word “because”, “Big elephants can always understand small elephants”. Notice how the 9 letter of each word in the sentence spells out the word “because”. This

one 10 to remind you to include the “h” in the word “which”, “Which house is Cath’s house?” To spell

Mississippi, a rhythm mnemonic is combined with a spelling one: “miss iss ippi”. And 11 you can’t

remember the spelling of the word “mnemonics”, use this one “Mike never eats meat or nuts in case he is sick.” Sentence mnemonics are also 12 . The following can help you with the difference between the words
“principal” and “principle”, “A principal is your pal at school, and a principle is a belief or rule.” Or this one to help you remember the difference in spelling between “deserts” (such as the Sahara) and “desserts” (such as Tiramisu), “A dessert has two sugars so it’s 13 but a desert only has one.” The two “sugars” mentioned in
the sentence refer to the two s’s in the word “dessert”. Or this one to clear up the confusion between “stationery” and “stationary”, “The car is stationary. An envelope is stationery”.
You can learn grammar rules with sentence mnemonics too. For example, this one 14 help you with the

position of adjectives, “Adjectives come before nouns just as ’A’ comes before ‘N’.” And this one can help you learn about the use of apostrophes (撇号), “Apostrophes show possession (拥有).”
Mnemonics can help a lot with language learning. Why not 15 inventing a few of your own!

【解析】

【导语】本文讲述了助记符号能够帮助我们学习语言。

【1 题详解】

句意：当你学习一门新语言的时候，有很多东西要记：拼写规则、语法规则、标点符号规则……这个清单无穷无尽。
an 一（不定冠词，表示泛指，用于元音音素前）；the 这个，那个定冠词，表示特指）；a 一（不定冠词，表示泛指，用于辅音音素前）；/不填，零冠词。根据“When you’re leaning...new language”可知，此处表示学习一门新语言，表示泛指，new 以辅音音素开头，故选 C。
【2 题详解】

句意：但是有样东西可以帮助你：助记符号。

something 某物；anything 任何事；nothing 没有什么；everything 所有东西。根据“But there’s...that can help you: mnemonics (助记符号).”可知，此处表示有样东西可以帮助你，故选 A。
【3 题详解】

句意它们有很多种，包括押韵、首字母缩略词和句子助记符。

to include 包括（动词不定式）；includes 包括（include 的第三人称单数形式）；including 包括（include 的动词-ing 形式）；included 包括（include 的过去式和过去分词）。分析“There are a variety of them...rhymes,

第 4 页/共 24 页

spelling acronyms (首字母缩略词) and sentence mnemonics.”可知，此句是一个简单句，句中已包含 be 动 词，主语 a variety of them 和动词 include 之间是主动关系，所以空格处用 include 的动词-ing 形式作伴随状语，故选 C。
【4 题详解】

句意：押韵是一个记住事物的好方法。

remember 记住；to remember 记住（动词不定式）；remembered 记住（remember 的过去式和过去分词）；

remembering 记住（remember 的动词-ing 形式）。a way to do sth.表示“一个做某事的方法”，故选 B。

【5 题详解】

句意：在 1492 年，哥伦布航行在蓝色的海洋中。

For 为了；To 到；With 和；In 在……里面。根据空后的“fourteen-hundred and ninety-two”可知，此处表示 1492 年，in+年份表示“在某年”，故选 D。
【6 题详解】

句意：大多数人从小就学会了它，并且永远不会忘记它！

learns 学会（learn 的第三人称单数形式）；learned 学会（learn 的过去式和过去分词）；have learned 已经学会（现在完成时）；is learning 正在学（现在进行时）。根据“since”可知，空格处应用现在完成时，其结构是 have/has+动词过去分词，主语 Most people 表示复数所以助动词用 have，故选 C。
【7 题详解】

句意：大多数人从小就学会了它，并且永远不会忘记它！

are 是；were 是（are 的过去式）；have been 是（现在完成时）；is being 是（现在进行时）。since +从句（从句用一般过去时）表示“自从……”，所以空格处应填动词的过去式，故选 B。
【8 题详解】

句意：首字母缩略词需要基于目标单词的字母创造一个句子。

to base 以……为基础（动词不定式）；basing 以……为基础（base 的动词-ing 形式）；base 以……为基础； based 以……为基础（base 的过去式和过去分词）。结合选项和“Spelling acronyms involve creating a sentence...on the letters of a target word.”可知，空格处作后置定语修饰名词 sentence，sentence 和动词 base 之间是被动关系，所以空格处应用 base 的过去分词作后置定语，故选 D。
【9 题详解】

句意：注意这个句子中的每个单词的第一个字母是如何拼出单词“because”的。

one 一；first 第一；ones 人们，它们（指代前面提到的人或事）；second 第二。根据“Big elephants can always understand small elephants”可知，这句话中的每个单词的第一个字母可以拼出单词“because”，所以空格处应填 first，first letter 表示“第一个字母”，故选 B。

第 5 页/共 24 页

【10 题详解】

句意：这个方法被设计出来提醒你在单词“which”中加上“h”。

designing 设计（design 的动词-ing 形式）；designed 设计（design 的过去式和过去分词）；is designed 被设计

（被动语态）；is designing 正在设计（现在进行时）。分析“This one”可知，此处表示这个方法，所以主语 This one 和动词 design 之间是被动关系，空格处应用被动语态，故选 C。
【11 题详解】

句意：并且如果你记不住“助记符”这个单词的拼写， 你就用这句话“迈克从不吃肉和坚果，以防生病”。 because 因为；if 如果；when 当……时；until 直到。结合选项和“And...you can’t remember the spelling of the word ‘mnemonics’”可知，空格处应填 if 引导条件状语从句，表示假设，故选 B。
【12 题详解】

句意：句子助记符也很有用。

useful 有用的；use 使用；usefully 有用地；useless 无用的。结合 also 和选项可知，此处表示句子助记符也很有用，空前有 be 动词 are，所以空格处应填形容词 useful“有用的”作表语，故选 A。
【13 题详解】

句意：甜点有两块糖，所以它更甜，但是沙漠只有一块。

sweetest 最甜；sweet 甜的；sweeter 更甜；sweets 糖果。根据“A dessert has two sugars so it’s...but a desert only has one.”可知，此处暗含“dessert”和“desert”之间的比较，空格处应用比较级，结合选项可知，sweeter符合语境，故选 C。
【14 题详解】

句意：例如，这个方法可以帮助你记住形容词的位置。

should 应该；can 可以；had better 最好；must 一定。结合选项和“this one...help you with the position of adjectives”可知，此处表示这个方法可以帮助你记住形容词的位置，空格处意为“可以”，故选 B。
【15 题详解】

句意：为什么不尝试发明一些自己的助记符号呢？

try 尝试，努力；to try 尝试，努力（动词不定式）；trying 尝试，努力（try 的动词-ing 形式tried 尝试，努力（try 的过去式和过去分词）。why not do sth“为什么不做某事”，是固定句型，故选 A。

三、阅读理解 (共 20 小题, 每小题 2 分, 满分 40 分)

A
One plus one equals two. There are 60 seconds in one minute. Sixty minutes equals one hour. There are 24 hours in one day. One year includes 365 days. These are all basic facts that we know by heart. But have you ever stopped to think how numbers came into being and how they developed?
It’s safe to say that our society would have never developed without numbers. However, the development of numbers is still a puzzle to us. That’s because when ancient people developed simple ways of counting, they didn’t leave any records behind.
It’s not difficult to guess that numbers and counting began with the number “1”, though ancient people probably didn’t call it “one.” They likely counted by ones and recorded by carving lines on a bone.
The earliest evidence of this is the Ishango Bone (伊尚戈骨), which was found in 1960 in Africa. The bone is

believed to be more than 20,000 years old. It has many lines on it. The lines look like what we would call “tally marks” today. Scientists think those lines show how ancient people used numbers.
52. According to the article, we still don’t know .

• the basic facts of numbers B. where numbers come from

C. how to count with numbers D. the importance of numbers

53. Why is the development of numbers a puzzle?

• Because people today are not smart enough to find it out.

• Because people today can’t find any records of ancient ways of counting.

• Because ancient people forgot to leave any records of their ways of counting.

• Because ancient people didn’t record their ways of counting at all.

54. Where was the Ishango Bone found?

A. In China. B. In Africa. C. In Egypt. D. In India.

55. Which picture best stands for the phrase “tally marks” mentioned in the last paragraph?

A. B. C. D.

第 9 页/共 24 页

56. Which of the following statements is true according to the article?

• The Inshango Bone was found 20,000 years ago.

• There are many numbers on the Inshango Bone.

• Numbers are important to a society’s development.

• Ancient people carved lines on the stones as a way of counting.
