考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“theGoldenGateBridgestartedintheyear1933toconnecttheSanFranciscoPeninsulawithMarinCounty.Itwasfinallythrownopentopublicin1937”可推知，金门大桥的建筑时间约有四年，故D项正确。2．B 考查细节理解。由题干关键词“wasbuilttheearliest”定位到每座大桥的建筑时间；根据文中各座大桥的建筑时间可知，布鲁克林大桥是最古老的大桥，故B项正确。3．A 考查细节理解。根据第四段尾句“Peopleusingthisbridgearechargedacertainamountofmoney”可知，使用麦基诺大桥的人会被收取一定量的钱，故A项正确。二、单句语法填空1．ItwaswhenIgotbacktomyapartment________Ifirstcameacrossmynewneighbors.答案：that 本句是强调句。被强调部分是时间状语，故应填that。2．Lilycan'tfallasleep,extremely________(concern)abouttheresultofhermathstest.答案：concerned 短语beconcernedabout...“担忧，挂念……”，本句中逗号后没有连词，故逗号后的部分为状语，此处应用形容词短语作伴随状语。3．It'snopleasure________(go)campingonsuchafoggyday.答案：going It'snopleasuredoingsth.“做某事没有乐趣”。4．Thelittleboyiscleverenoughtohavenotrouble________(find)hishousewithoutothers'help.答案：finding

happentodosth.“碰巧做某事”，再由后一并列分句“没有必要告诉他”可知，前一分句谓语部分应用不定式的完成式。7．Hesethisalarmclockbeforegoingtobedinorder________(get)upearlierthanusualthenextmorning.答案：toget inordertodosth.“为了做某事”。8．Severalweekshadgoneby________theyknewthepaintingwasmissing.答案：before before引导的时间状语从句，表示“在……以前”，从句常用一般过去时，主句用过去完成时。9．While________(wait)forthebusbytheroadside,Ifoundawalletontheground.答案：waiting 时间状语从句的主语和主句主语一致，且从句谓语部分含有be动词，故从句中省略主语和be动词，填waiting。whilewaiting可看作是whileIwaswaiting的省略。10．Thewindowshaven'tbeencleanedforatleastayearandare________(dust)now.答案：dusty dusty“脏的，布满尘土的”，是形容词，在此处作表语。三、完形填空。Ahomelessmanwalkeduptomeandaskedmeforsomesmallchange,“I’llgiveyouaquarterifyoutellmeyourstory,”Isaid.Helaughed,“You’llgivemeaquarterformystory?’Ilaidthe1infrontofhimand2myself—“No,here’sthequarterbutitwouldbenicetohearyourstory.”Seeinghimlostin3,Isatdownnexttohimandwaited.“Iwasonceasniper(狙击手)inthearmy.”hesaid.“Iwas4toshootdowntheenemyfromthedistance.”Ilistenedattentivelyashe5hisstory.Hetoldmehowhe6tohuntwithhisfamilyandwasreallygoodatit.Hehadhisown7torespectinganimalsbynotkillingmorethanbeneeded.Whenthearmycameknockingonhisdoor,hefelt8andjoinedup.Allthoseyearsofdevelopinghishuntingskillscouldnowservealarger9—todefendusfromthebadguys.Hesetoutto10atthefront.“IwasasniperbutIneverreallykilledanyone.”hecontinued.“Onedaytheyaskedmeto11aladyfromthedistance.Isawthekidsnearherandmyhandswereonthetrigger(扳机).ButI9\ncouldn’t12it.Shewasn’tdoinganythingtoanyoneandshewas13thekids—Icouldn’tseethroughmytears.Itjustdidn’tmakeany14tome.”Thestorywentonashedescribed15beingputintoprisonfor180daysfor16tofolloworders.“Ihaveno17,”hesaid.“Imaybehomelessnow,18Ineverkilledthatlady.”Hecontinued,“Icanlivewithbeinghomeless,butIwouldn’tbeabletostandkilling19people.”OnthatlonelyFridaynight,Imetahero.Itjustnever20tomethataherocouldbeasmellyoldsniper.语篇解读：本文介绍了一位曾在部队服役的狙击手的故事。狙击手在一次战斗中因为拒绝执行枪杀一位带着孩子的妇女的命令，被判处180天监禁。出狱后却找不到工作，沦为街头乞丐。但是他却一直不后悔自己的行为。他是一位真正的英雄。1.A.note

本文介绍了几种如何使自己变得更有创造力的方法。1.E 解析：上文提到它有点像吹奏萨克斯，设空处应该介绍如何像萨克斯，主语应该与上文一致，但意义上转折，以便引出下文的建议。故选E项。2.F 解析：本段主题是更好奇。设空前提到每天寻找新的观点很重要，F项（这样你可以从不同的角度思考和处理问题）与上文一致，也与下文的tokeepanopenmind相照应。故选F项。3.C 解析：本段主题是给自己空间。本段第一句提到进入大脑的每一条信息都会阻碍你的创造性，并建议每天给自己留一定空间。空格后提出，这有助于让你的思维模式远离潜在的干扰，给创造性的思维留下更多的空间。C项（晚8点到早8点的手机禁令就是一个好的开始方式）符合上下文语境。故选C项。4.G 解析：本段主题是尝试新事物。G项（在不同的领域使用你的技能是跳出框架思考的一个好方法）与主题一致。故选G项。5.B 解析：本题考查段落主题。本段第一句提出在社交媒体上，我们成功与否常常会以喜欢或评论的方式呈现出来，这让我们总是怀疑自己。其中的关键词doubt表明一种不自信，再结合最后一句可知，本段的主题是要让自己自信。故选B项。9
