11. It was when I got back to my apartment ______ I first came across my new neighbors. A. who B. where C. which D. that
参考答案：
D
试题分析：句意：当我回到我的公寓的时候，我首先遇见了我的新邻居。根据关键词It was开头，后面连词首选that，，构成强调句型，但需要验证，本句中去掉It was 和that，句意完整，所以确定是强调句型。故选D。 考点：考查强调句型。
【名师点睛】判断一句话是否是强调句的一个方法是去掉强调结构，如果这句话还能够成立就是强调句，例如这道题，去掉强调结构是：when I got back to my apartment ______ I first came across my new neighbors..这句话是成立的，所以是强调句。除了强调句的陈述句，还需要掌握强调句的一般疑问句和特殊疑问词的结构，还有强调句做名词性从句的语序问题。
Maria has written two novels, both of ________ have been made into television series. A. them B. that C. which D. what 【答案】C 【解析】
试题分析：考查非限制性定语从句。句意：Maria已经写了两部小说，它们都被制作成了电视剧。句中有逗号，说明是非限制性定语从句，them不能引导定语从句，that不用于非限制性定语从句和介词之后，what不用于定语从句，排除A、B、D；both of which相当于and both of them，故选C。 考点：考查非限制性定语从句
12. John plays basketball well, ___his favorite sport is badminton. A. so B. or C. yet D. for 参考答案：
C。
解析： 考查连词的用法。约翰篮球打的好，然而他最喜欢的运动却是羽毛球。用yet表示转折。

三、 阅读理解
20. 阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A class with tens or even hundreds of thousands of students might sound like a teacher's bad dream. But a big idea in higher education these days is the massive open online course, or MOOC.
Some universities offer free, non-credit（无学分的）MOOCs available to anyone in the world. Others charge for courses and provide credits. The idea is still developing. So far, most massive open online courses are in computer science, technology, mechanics and engineering. For example, students around the world are taking a free course called \"Building a Computer Search Engine.\" Two computer scientists, Sebastian Thrun and David Evans, are offering this course through udacity.com.
There are no education requirements for the course. The students watch short videos. Then, says Mr. Evans, they take informal quizzes（测试）after the videos each week for six weeks.
DAVID EVANS: \"Quizzes are part of the lecture to keep students engaged and keep them thinking, for students to be able to check that they understood what we covered. Those are not graded and students try those as often as they wish. They can repeatedly watch the videos and take the quizzes whenever they want.”
Students receive homework. They join online groups to exchange questions and answers about the course. The teachers hold office hours to answer questions that the
students have voted to send them. They also present their own questions and observations to the students in order to help them make a deeper impression of the course.
The students take a final examination to show where they rate in the class Everyone who finishes the course receives a grade and proof of completion. Top students get letters documenting their work.
Mr. Thrun started Udacity, which supports free MOOCs. Udacity hopes to make a profit in the future by connecting possible employers with interested students. On his Stanford homepage he says he wants to \"democratize\" education. “Education”, he says, should be free, accessible for all, anywhere and any time 66. What can we know about MOOCs from the passage? A. Not all of them are free. B. They are bad dreams for teachers.
C. They are popular among high school students. D. All of them are about computer science and technology. 67. Building a Computer Search Engine __________. A. is a free course that is provided on the Internet B. is mainly for students from American universities C. is offered by two scientists from the same university D. can be taken only by those excellent college students
68. According to the passage, the students who take the course Building a Computer Engine _________.
A. will take an informal quiz every day
B. learn mainly by watching short videos on the Internet
C. can ask the teachers any question about the course anytime on the Internet D. will get a grade and a proof of completion if they do well in the final examination 69. The underlined word “democratize” in the last paragraph probably means __________.
A. improve B. limit C. popularize D. receive 70. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Enjoy online education, which is more popular B. Join Udacity, which supports free online courses. C. Take an online course to study computer. D. Get a free education in huge online classes. 参考答案： AABCD
21. For many people, the “golden years” are a time to slow down and recall past achievements. Nola Ochs—a Guinness record holder as the world’s oldest college graduate at the age of 95—saw age as an opportunity to take on new challenges and satisfy unfulfilled goals.
Born in 1911 in Illinois, Nola always loved learning. She was a good student who graduated from high school in 1929 and began college via correspondence course（函授课程）from Fort Hays State University in Kansas. After getting the degree of the college, she taught in county schools for four years before marrying her husband, Vernon Ochs.
Soon, the realities of farming stopped any thoughts of furthering her education, though Nola lived a good, full life on the farm, raising four sons. She always yearned to learn more about the world she lived in, but not until after Vernon died in 1972, did Nola consider resuming her formal education.
“I just thought something off the farm would be fun,” Nola explained. “Really, I had no
thought of ever graduating. For 10 years, I just took classes that were of interest to me, mostly history and composition. And then one of the professors came to me and told me if I would take college algebra, I would have enough credit hours to graduate. And I finally made it.”
For most people, graduating at the age of 95 with a 3.7 GPA might be enough of an accomplishment, but not for Nola. In May 2010, at the age of 98, Nola Ochs received her master’s degree, making her the oldest person to receive that distinction.
By the time Nola passed away in 2016, at the incredible age of 105, she had achieved her goal of writing a book about her life experiences. At one point in the process, when asked for her life advice, she said, “Buy the plane ticket!” She meant that people should take advantage of life’s opportunities and not wait until tomorrow. 4. What did Nola do before getting married? A. A farmer. B. A writer. C. A scientist. D. A teacher.
5. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “resuming” in paragraph 3? A. beginning B. changing C. restarting D. stopping
6. How many degrees did Nola get according to the text? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
7. What can we learn from Nola?
A. Respecting old people is a virtue everyone should have. B. Knowledge is important for everyone including old people. C. People should get their college degrees as young as possible. D. People should grasp every chance to pursue goals in life.
参考答案：
4. D 5. C 6. B 7. D 【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了吉尼斯世界纪录保持者，95岁高龄，世界上年龄最大的大学毕业生---诺拉·奥克斯。 【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的she taught in county schools for four years before marrying her
husband, Vernon Ochs.可知，在结婚之前，Nola是个老师，故选D。 【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文务农的现实使她停止了继续接受教育的念头。她总是渴望更多地了解她生活的世界，尤其是根据上文的but not until after Vernon died in 1972由此可推测出，此处是指直到Nola在丈夫死后，才考虑重新进行她的正规教育，结合四个选A. beginning 开始；B. changing改变；C. restarting 重新开始；D. stopping 停止。可知，resuming是重新开始的意思，故选C。 【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的After getting the degree of the college, she……；第四段的then one of the professors came to me and told me if I would take college algebra, I would have enough credit hours to graduate. And I finally made it.”（大学毕业，修够学分即拿到学士学位）；第五段的In May 2010, at the age of 98, Nola Ochs received her master’s degree。共获得三个学位，故选B。 【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章对Nola的介绍，她到了很大年龄的时候依然在学习，利用一切机会去追求自己的理想，尤其是最后一段的At one point in the process, when asked for her life advice, she said, “Buy the plane ticket!” She meant that people should take advantage of life’s opportunities and not wait until tomorrow.可知，通过Nola我们学到了，我们应该抓住机会，去追求人生的目标，故选D。
【点睛】阅读理解常从细节理解，推理判断，主旨大意，词义猜测四个方面出题。推理判断类题信息含量大，可能是文中的某句话也可能是几句话，要求考生在原文的基础上对文章中的信息进行分析、逻辑推理，揭示其深层含义，属于难度较高的题型。它常常从细节推断；文章来源或对象类推断；写作意图类推断和态度倾向类推断四个方向进行考查。推理判断题常用的方法有1.抓住特定的信息进行正向或逆向推理。2.整合全文信息进行推断。3.根据上下文的逻辑进行推理得出结论。在做题中要注意那些张冠李戴、颠倒是非、无中生有、曲解文意、扩缩范围的干扰项。本文中的第4小题属于推理判断题，需要结合文章对Nola的介绍及文中给定的信息进行正向推断，根据文章最后一段的she said, “Buy the plane ticket!” She meant that people should take advantage of life’s opportunities and not wait until tomorrow.，这一信息可以推断出，我们能从Nola那学到要抓住机会去实现人生的目标。
