B．Health.C．Culture.D．Science.B 解析：推理判断题。纵观全文可知，香蕉不仅有助于减肥，8\n还能降低人们患中风、糖尿病及癌症的风险，而且香蕉皮也有用处。由此可知，本文最有可能出现在报纸的健康专栏。故选B。***语法填空。Anyonewhohashadalongtermdiseaseknowsthatrecoveringathomecanbelonely.Thiscanbe__1__(especial)trueofchildren.Theymayfeel__2__(leave)out.Now,thesechildrenmayhaveahightechfriendtohelpfeellesslonely.Asmallrobotmayhelpchildrenwhoarerecoveringfromalongterm__3__(ill).Therobotlikehumanbeingstakestheirplaceatschool.Andtheirschoolfriendsmusthelpcarrytherobotbetweenclassesandplacetherobotontheirdesks.Throughtherobot,achildcanhearhisorherteachersandfriends.Heorshecanalsoattendclassesfromwherevertheyarerecovering—whetherathome__4__fromahospitalbed.Dolva,oneofthescientistswho__5__(be)concentratingondevelopingtherobot,explains__6__therobotAV1works.Shesaysfromhome,thechildusesatabletorphonetostarttherobot.__7__(use)thesamedevice,heorshecancontroltherobot'smovements.Insidetherobot,thereisasmallcomputerlinked__8__a4Gnetwork.Therobotis__9__(equip)withspeakers,microphonesandcameras,whichmakescommunicating__10__(easy).Soit'stheeyesandtheearsandthevoicesatschool.HopefullyAV1willhelpsomechildrenfeellesslonelywhiletheyareabsentfromclass.1．________

考查词性转换。设空处修饰形容词true，要用副词，故填especially。2．left 考查非谓语动词。leaveout表示“遗漏；忽略”，与主语they构成逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用过去分词作表语。故填left。3．illness 考查词性转换。longterm为形容词，意为“长期的”，后应接名词。故填illness。4．or 考查连词。根据句中的whether可知应填or，whether...or...为固定搭配，“无论……还是……”。5．are 考查主谓一致和动词的时态。本句中，who引导定语从句，先行词为the8\nscientists，故从句谓语动词应用复数形式；全文客观地介绍一种机器人，应用一般现在时。故填are。6．how 考查宾语从句的连接词。设空处引导宾语从句，作explains的宾语。分析句子结构可知，句中缺少状语，表“方式”，故用how连接该从句。7．Using 考查非谓语动词。句中已有谓语cancontrol，因此，设空处应用非谓语动词；use与其逻辑主语heorshe之间为主动关系，且非谓语动词在句中作方式状语。故填Using。8．to/with 考查介词。belinkedto/with...为固定搭配，“与……连接”。故填to/with。9．equipped 考查动词的语态。beequippedwith...为固定搭配，“装配有……”。故填equipped。10．easier 考查形容词的比较级。设空处在定语从句中作宾语补足语，而且本句暗含比较意义，应用形容词的比较级。故填easier。***完形填空。阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可能填入空白处的最佳选项。Iwasashykid.Nothingseemedharderthantalkingtopeople.Ididn'tevenliketoanswerthephoneforfearthatI'dhavetotalktosomebodyIdidn'tknow.__1__，atschoolIhadtospendalldayinthecompanyofothers.My__2__wasstudying.ItwassomethingIcoulddo__3__andbymyself.Ispentalotoftimestudyingandwas__4__withgoodgrades.EventuallyIwenttocollege.Icametorealizethatsomepeoplewereratherfunto__5__with.Yetmychildhood__6__carriedoverandIfoundmyselftonguetiedand__7__wheneverIfoundmyselfinaconversation.Onedaywhileoncampus，I__8__anadvertisementforapositiononthelocalclassicalmusic__9__station.Ihadgrownuplisteningtoclassicalmusic，andIlovedit.Inordertogetthejob，applicantsneededtobeinterviewed.Ihadabsolutelynobackgroundinradio，andtheideaoftalkingtothousandsoflisteners__10__me.Ididn'treallywantthejob.IjustwantedtoprovethatIcouldtalktoa(n)__11__.Twoweeks__12__，IwasevenmoreterrifiedtodiscoverthatIhadactuallylandedthejob.Itwasa__13__job，butIgrewtoenjoyit.Iannouncedmusictothousandsof8\n__14__inthecity，sometimesansweringtheircallsand__15__totheirrequests.Ibegantofeelcomfortabletalkingtothesepeople，thesestrangerswhoIcouldn'teven__16__.AlthoughInowspendmuchtimetalkingwithpeople，I'mstillbasicallya__17__person.Myformershynessisagift，asIcan__18__peoplewhofeeldiscomfortwhentheytalktostrangers.Istillenjoymomentsofbeing__19__.ButI'malsogladIdecidedtomakea__20__inmylifethathadopenedmanydoorsandopportunitiesthatIneverknewexisted.1．A.HoweverB．ThereforeC．OtherwiseD．Besides2．A.adviceB．practiceC．taskD．escape3．A.obviouslyB．simplyC．quietlyD．poorly4．A.filledB．rewardedC．decoratedD．faced5．A.helpoutB．catchupC．putupD．hangout6．A.happinessB．shynessC．kindnessD．goodness7．A.excitedB．astonishedC．embarrassedD．interested8．A.noticedB．postedC．realizedD．believed9．A.fireB．gasC．TVD．radio10．A.terrifiedB．pleasedC．satisfiedD．amazed11．A.childB．singerC．interviewerD．applicant12．A.agoB．laterC．beforeD．since13．A.wellpaidB．puzzlingC．comfortableD．challenging8\n14．A.listenersB．followersC．viewersD．dancers15．A.referringB．respondingC．offeringD．comparing16．A.feelB．moveC．hearD．see17．A.busyB．warmC．quietD．smart18．A.lookintoB．relatetoC．combinewithD．worrywith19．A.aloneB．aliveC．activeD．awake20．A.planB．mistakeC．changeD．dream【解题导语】该文主要讲述了害羞的作者通过应聘电台工作而实现自我突破的故事。1．A 根据上下文可知，此处表示逻辑上的转折关系。然而，作者在学校里不得不和同学们相处。2．D 根据上文的“Iwasashykid”可推知，害羞的作者在学校用学习来逃避与人交流。3．C 与语境“bymyself”呼应可推知，作者一个人安安静静地做功课。4．B 与语境“withgoodgrades”呼应可推知，作者在学习上的付出得到了丰厚的回报，成绩突出。5．D 由“Eventually”的提示可推知，作者最终意识到了和朋友相处是有趣的。hangout“常去某处”。6．B 根据上文的“Iwasashykid”并结合“Ifoundmyselftonguetied”可推知，作者童年时代的害羞个性还存在。7．C 根据“Ifoundmyselftonguetied”可推知，和他人交流时沟通不顺畅是令人尴尬的。8．A 根据语境可知，作者在校园里注意到了一则让他感兴趣的广告。9．D 根据下文的“Ihadabsolutelynobackgroundinradio”可推知，这是一则电台的招募广告。10．A 根据“Ihadabsolutelynobackgroundinradio”并结合下文的“Ididn'treallywantthejob”可推知，作者因自己没有广播方面的背景而打退堂鼓，与下文的“IwasevenmoreterrifiedtodiscoverthatIhadactuallylandedthejob”呼应。8\n11．C 作者害怕与成千上万的听众交流，只想证明自己能够和面试官交谈。12．B 根据语境可推知，时间已经过去了两周。13．D 根据上文可知，这项工作需要与成千上万的听众交流，这对作者来说有一定的挑战性，且与语境“butIgrewtoenjoyit”形成呼应。14．A 与上文的“andtheideaoftalkingtothousandsoflisteners__10__me”呼应可推知，此处表示作者给听众播放音乐。15．B 与语境“answeringtheircalls”呼应可推知，作者回应听众的要求。16．D 根据上文可知，作者应聘的是电台工作，和听众们基本上是不见面的。17．C 根据“still”的提示并结合上文的“Iwasashykid”可推知，作者尽管现在花费很多时间和人们交流，但是本质上还是一个不多说话的人，与下文的“Myformershynessisagift”呼应。18．B 结合“Myformershynessisagift”可推知，作者能够理解那些和他相同的人。relateto“理解，认同”。19．A 根据上文的“Myformershynessisagift”可推知，作者仍旧喜欢独处。20．C 根据语境可推知，作者通过做电台工作有了重大改变，从而人生有了更多的可能性。***短文改错。Mistakesareunavoidableinlife.Butattitudestowardsitmaymakeadifference.IstillrememberhowmyspokenEnglishwasimproved.Inabeginning,Ialwayskeptsilentinouroralclasstoavoidmakemistakes.Beforelongmyteachergottoknowaboutmysituation.HeencouragedmetospeakoutthatIthought.WheneverImademistakesandfeltdiscouraging,myteacherandmyclassmateswouldhelpmefigureouthowImustavoidthem.IalsojoinedinanEnglishclubtogetmorechancestospeak.Practicemadeperfect.NowIcantalkfluentinEnglish.Justasthesayinggoes,“Everybeanhasitsblack.”Don'tafraidofmakingmistakes.Learnfrommistakes,andsuccessisjustwaitingforus.答案：Mistakesareunavoidableinlife.Butattitudestowardsmaymakeadifference.IstillrememberhowmyspokenEnglishwasimproved.Inbeginning,Ialwayskeptsilentinouroralclasstoavoidmistakes.Beforelongmyteachergot8\ntoknowaboutmysituation.HeencouragedmetospeakoutIthought.WheneverImademistakesandfelt，myteacherandmyclassmateswouldhelpmefigureouthowIavoidthem.IalsojoinedanEnglishclubtogetmorechancestospeak.Practiceperfect.NowIcantalkinEnglish.Justasthesayinggoes,“Everybeanhasitsblack.”Don'tafraidofmakingmistakes.Learnfrommistakes,andsuccessisjustwaitingforus.难项分析：第四处：that→what 考查宾语从句。分析该句结构可知，该句为含有宾语从句的主从复合句，what既作宾语从句的引导词，也作从句中及物动词thought的宾语，而that在宾语从句中不作成分，故将that改为what。第六处：must→could 考查情态动词。根据语境可知，该句表示“帮我弄明白怎样才能避免这些错误”，作者回顾提高英语口语的过程，是过去发生的行为，故用coulddosth.。第十处：afraid前加be 考查祈使句。分析句子结构可知，该句为祈使句，afraid为形容词，故afraid前加动词原形be。***8
