【答案】1.hadread2.slowly3.What
【解析】本文属于记叙文,描述作者游览巴黎的经历。
【1题详解】考查过去完成时。句意:这个宾馆俯瞰塞纳河,这条河流我在很多诗里读到过。分析句子可知,I___1___(read)aboutinsomanypoems作定语从句修饰river,从句缺乏谓语,read动作发生在overlook之前,因此发生在过去的过去,故用过去完成时hadread。
【2题详解】考查副词。修饰动词runby用副词slowly。
【3题详解】考查主语从句。Ienjoyedmost为主语从句,从句缺乏enjoy的宾语,故用引导词What。

【答案】4.known5.havegot6.points
【解析】本文属于说明文,介绍桌上足球的历史和玩法。
【4题详解】考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,know作后置定语修饰game,与其属于动宾关系,故用过去分词known。beknownas作为……而出名
【5题详解】考查现在完成时。分析句子可知,本句缺乏谓语,句子有sincethen修饰,故用现在完成时havegot。
【6题详解】考查名词。句意:跟真实的足球一样,当把球放进对方的球门的时候就会得分。分析句子可知,本句缺乏主语,point为可数名词,由于无冠词,故用复数形式points。
C

【解析】本文属于说明文,介绍鲨鱼一般不伤人,与鲨鱼对人类的伤害相比,人类对鲨鱼的伤害更大。
【7题详解】考查动词时态和语态。分析句子可知,本句缺乏谓语,injure与主语people为动宾关系,陈述一般事实,故用一般现在时的被动语态areinjured。
【8题详解】考查定语从句。touriststhrowinfoodtobringinsharks为定语从句修饰先行词sea,从句缺乏地点状语,故用关系副词where。
【9题详解】考查介词句意:每年约有6000万只鲨鱼被杀用作食物和医药。分析句子可知,for表示用途,故用for。

【解析】本文属于议论文,主要介绍拖延症的影响以及处理拖延症需要注意的事项。
【42题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段Procrastinating,asputtingthingsofflikethisiscalled,isinourcharacterwehavenaturallysincebirth;weavoiddullordifficultjobsuntilit’stoolatetodoanythingelse.可知,拖延症是我们出生就在我们的性格里面的东西,我们逃避一些枯燥或者困难的事情直到太晚而什么都做不了,故可知,拖延症是很多人无法摆脱的,因为天生就有,故选A.
【43题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“We’veevolvedtorespondtothemoment,andnottosetoursightstoofarinanuncertainworld,”Dr.Steeladds.可知,我们进化为对当下的东西做出反应,而对未来的没有前瞻性,故可知,要克服拖延症,还必须要克服天性,故选A。
【45题详解】推理判断题。本句意思为,最终解决拖延症落实到了计划,但是如果不小心,计划本身就会成为拖延症的一种表现,故可知,要计划,计划之后要立即落实,故作者说这句话的意义在于警告计划不能太拖延,故选C。
