【解析】
【原文】M: I have with me this evening Louise Graham, a group leader at Ravensfield Outdoor Adventure Center for children. Louise, how long have you been there
W: Well, before I first went there, two years ago, I thought I'd probably only stay for a year, but after six months or so I really started to enjoy the job. So I've been there ever since. To be honest, I was lacking in self-confidence, and when I first arrived, I was a bit worried about making mistakes. I was frightened I might put the children in danger because of my inexperience.
M: What's the best thing about your work
W: One thing I like is seeing them have so much fun, even if sometimes their behavior isn't perfect. And I can suggest activities that haven't been tried before. But there are always some children who haven't quite got as much ability as others, and for me the most rewarding part of the job is getting them to succeed in things they haven't managed to do before. It's hard work though. Sometimes you are on duty at night.
M: Mm…what do you think about that
W: Well, I can't say I look forward to starting work at 10:00 pm, but the kids have to be looked after 24 hours so someone has to do it and all the staff take turns.

18. What organizations used to have a lot of power

B. Universities and bookstores.
C. Newspapers and publishers.

20. What can we learn about Border’s Group
A. They were bought by a tech company.
B. They made billions of dollars this year.
C. They used to have more than 600 stores.
【答案】18. C 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【原文】M: Books have always been an important part of people’s lives. Libraries were important parts of both universities and town centers, and many of the first successful companies in modern times made their money by selling books. Like newspapers, publishers used to have a lot of power and influence, but nowadays, the companies that control digital information seem to have taken over. In particular, e-books have replaced traditional books for most modern readers, especially in big cities, for whom everything has to be easy to carry and convenient to use. Tech companies like Amazon and Apple sell “e-readers” that can contain thousands of books, and their online stores list millions of titles, far more than any bookstore could ever hold. As more and more people buy computers, smart phones, and tablets, the market for e-books continues to grow. Many traditional book publishers and bookstores have gone out of business. For example, Border’s Group used to be one of the largest bookstores in the United States, with more than 600 locations and billions of dollars in sales every year. But after e-books appeared, they started losing money and had to close all their stores.

Two British teachers have broken the world record for the longest journey in a tuk-tuk after pulling their failing vehicle for 43 miles. Richard Sears and Nick Gough traveled 37,500 kilometers around the world and passed through 37 countries. They did this to support grassroots education project in Africa,Asia and South America.
The pair, who set off from London, thought their expedition was over when the vehicle started to fail. When the tuk-tuk broke, they were only 43 miles from their destination. They decided to pull it the rest of the way. The tuk-tuk,which weighs 800 kilograms, was pulled in turns by Richard and Nick over three days. On arrival in Chepen, Peru, they discovered a mechanic who specialized in tuk-tuks and managed to fix it.
The pair were back on the road and aiming for their next goal. Along their journey they had to tackle deserts and jungles. They also survived close encounters with elephants in Uganda and Botswana and an accident in Malaysia. The greatest hardship on the tuk-tuk was the mountainranges lying in their path, including the Alps, the Himalayas and the Andes.
Nick and Richard uncovered some inspirational projects across Africa, Asia and South America. They witnessed firsthand the educational challenges facing these areas today. They joined street children in the slums of Cairo, Khartoum, Kampala, Mumbai and Phnom Penh. They visited Congolese refugees(难民)in camps in Eastern Burundi. They witnessed how education could free sex-workers in Delhi and victims of human trafficking in Nepal.
The pair established The Tuk Tuk Educational Trust, a UK registered charity. Talking about their motivation, Richard said, “The world's leaders have made a commitment to achieving universal primary education but, in spite of this pledge(誓言),over 57 million primary-aged children worldwide are still out of school; many more are in school, but still cannot access quality learning opportunities. ”
24. Why did the two teachers travel the world
A. To entertain themselves. B. To support an education project.
C. To create a new world record. D. To challenge themselves.
25. How far did the two teachers pull the tuk-tuk each day on average
A. A little more than 8 miles. B. 20 miles.
C. 43 miles. D. About 14 miles.
26. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. How they realized their next goal.
B. Their exciting experience on the road.
C. The beautiful scenery of famous mountains.
D. The difficulties and dangers they faced in the journey.
27. Which of the following best describes the two teachers

Flying over a desert area in an airplane, two scientists looked down with trained eyes at trees and bushes. After an hour's flight one of the scientists wrote in his book, “Look here for probable metal.” Scientists in another airplane, flying over a mountain area, sent a message to other scientists on the ground, “Gold possible.” Walking across hilly ground, four scientists reported, “This ground should be searched for metal.” From an airplane over a hilly wasteland a scientist sent back by radio one word: “Uranium.”
None of the scientists had X-ray eyes: they had no magic power of looking down below the earth's surface. They were merely putting to use one of the newest methods of locating minerals in the ground... trees and plants as signs that certain minerals may lie beneath the ground on which the trees and plants are growing.
This newest method of searching for minerals is based on the fact that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow in the surface.
At Watson Bar Greek, a brook (小溪) six thousand feet high in the mountains of British Columbia,Canada, a mineral search group gathered bags of tree seeds. Boxes were filled with small branches from the trees. Roots were dug and put into boxes. Each bag and box was carefully marked. In a scientific laboratory the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes and tested. Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it.
Study of the roots, branches, and seeds showed no silver. But there were small amounts of gold in the roots and a little less gold in the branches and seeds. The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunks had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches.
28. Scientists were flying over a desert or a hilly wasteland or a mountain area in order to search for_____ in the ground.
A. gold B. silver C. minerals D. metals
29. The scientists were searching for minerals by using_______.
A. X-ray B. trained eyes
C. a special instrument D. magic power
30. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as part of a tree that can help find minerals
A. Branches. B. Roots. C. Leaves. D. Seeds.

C. Gold Could Be Found by Trees and Plants
D. A New Method of Searching for Minerals-Using Trees and Plants
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. D

【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“They were merely putting to use one of the newest methods of locating minerals in the ground... trees and plants as signs that certain minerals may lie beneath the ground on which the trees and plants are growing.

【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“a mineral search group gathered bags of tree seeds. Boxes were filled with small branches from the trees. Roots were dug and put into boxes. (一个矿物研究小组收集几包树种。盒子里装满树上砍下的树枝。树根被挖出也放进盒子里)和“Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it. (树木的每一个部分都会进行科学研究,以此了解是否内部含有矿物质)”可知,科学家通过研究树木的根部、枝干和树种来确定树木生长的地方是否蕴藏矿物。文章没有提及植物的叶子。故选C项。

It was early morning. Peter Corbett helped Mark Wellman out of his wheelchair and onto the ground. They stood before El Capitan, a huge mass of rock almost three-quarters of a mile high in California's beautiful Yosemite Valley. It had been Mark's dream to climb El Capitan for as long as he could remember. But how could a person without the use of his legs hope to try to climb it
Mark knew he couldn't finish the climb alone, but his friend Peter, an expert rock climber, would be there to lend a helping hand. He and Mark thought that it would take seven days to reach the top.
Peter climbed about 100 feet up and hammered a piton (岩钉) into the rock. Fastening one end of a 165-foot rope to the piton, he let one end of the rope fall down. Mark caught the rope and fastened it to his belt with a special instrument. This instrument would allow Mark to move upward, but would prevent him from falling even as much as a single inch. He next reached above his head and fastened a T-shaped bar to the rope, using the same kind of instrument.
Mark took a deep breath, pushed the T-bar up almost as far as his arms could reach, and began the first of the 7, 000 pull-ups needed to reach the top. High above, Peter let out a cheer. “You're on your way. ”
Seven years before, at the age of twenty-one, Mark had fallen while mountain climbing, injuring his backbone. The fall cost him the use of his legs, but he never lost his love of adventure or his joyful spirit.
For the first four days the two men progressed steadily upward without incident. But on the fifth day an unbearably hot wind began to blow, and as time went by, it became stronger and stronger, causing Mark to sway (摇摆) violently on his rope. But Mark kept on determinedly pushing up the T-bar and pulling himself up. In spite of that, he had to admit that he felt a lot better when the wind finally died down and his body touched solid rock again.
It took them one day more than they had expected, but on July 26 at 1:45 in the afternoon, the crowd of people waiting on the top went wild with joy as the two heads appeared. Mark Wellman had shown that if you set your heart and mind on a goal, no wall is too high, no dream impossible.
32. What had Mark Wellman long desired to do
A. To finish one of the most difficult rock climbs in the world.
B. To be the first to climb El Capitan.
C. To climb the highest mountain in California.
D. To help his friend Peter climb El Capitan.
33. How did Mark climb the mountain
A. He fastened the rope to his wheelchair.
B. He pulled himself up using a T-bar and special equipment.
C He held on to the T-bar and Peter pulled him up.
D. He hammered in pitons so that he had something to hold on to.
34. What was the worst problem Mark had during the climb
A. He struck against the rock and hurt his arms.
B. While swaying in space, he became terrified.
C. He kept falling several inches.
D. A strong wind blew him away from the rock.
35. How did Mark react to difficulties during the climb
A. He admitted that he was frightened.
B. He was able to remain calm and determined.
C. He often worried about his friend's condition.
D. He was joking to cheer himself up.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。Mark Wellman长久以来梦想攀登卡皮坦山,但是七年前的一次攀爬让他失去了双腿,但是七年后在朋友Peter Corbett的帮助下Mark Wellman完成了梦想。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段倒第二句“It had been Mark's dream to climb El Capitan for as long as he could remember.(从Mark记事起,攀登卡皮坦山一直是他的梦想)”可知,Mark Wellman长久以来的梦想是攀登卡皮坦山,根据最后一句 “But how could a person without the use of his legs hope to try to climb it (但是,一个不使用双腿的人怎么能希望尝试攀登它呢?)”可知,这个梦想对Mark来说几乎是不可能的。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“He next reached above his head and fastened a T-shaped bar to the rope, using the same kind of instrument.(接着,他把手伸到头顶上方,用同样的工具将一根T形杆固定在绳子上)”可知,Mark用T形杆和特殊设备爬上山。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段前两句“For the first four days the two men progressed steadily upward without incident. But on the fifth day an unbearably hot wind began to blow, and as time went by, it became stronger and stronger, causing Mark to sway violently on his rope.(在最初的四天里,这两个人稳步上升,没有发生任何意外。但是到了第五天,一股无法忍受的热风开始刮来,随着时间的推移,它变得越来越强,使得马克在绳子上剧烈地摇摆)”和最后一句“In spite of that, he had to admit that he felt a lot better when the wind finally died down and his body touched solid rock again.(尽管如此,他不得不承认,当风终于停了下来,他的身体又碰到了坚硬的岩石时,他感觉好多了)”可知,第五天的一股很强的热风将他吹离了岩石,这是他在过程中遇到的最严重的问题。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段第三句“But Mark kept on determinedly pushing up the T-bar and pulling himself up.(但是马克继续坚定地推着T形杆,把自己拉了起来)”可知,在面对攀爬过程中的困难时Mark仍然能够保持平静和坚定。故选B。

Caneze and her parents moved to the United Sates when she was only two years old and they haven't visited their motherland for ten years. Last month, Caneze's grandfather came to see them, and the family threw a big party. But Caneze didn't spend much time with him that day. He didn't speak English,so how could she have any sort of conversation with him Caneze spent most of that day in the study room,texting her best friend, Maya, and watching her cousins play video games. There was a huge art competition coming up at school,and Caneze and Maya were planning to compete.
“I wish you'd spent time with your grandfather instead of your phone, Caneze,” Mom said one day on the way home.
“But I don't even know him,” Caneze said, “and he doesn't speak any English. How could I talk to him ”
“And you don't speak any Ukrainian(乌克兰语), Caneze, but he'd love to get to know you. I think you may find that you two have a lot in common. ”
Two weeks later, Caneze came home from school in the afternoon to find her grandfather sitting at the kitchen table chatting with Mom happily. On the table sat some books. The old man smiled warmly at Caneze, and she smiled back as she sat down at the table. As Grandpa and Mom spoke in Ukrainian, Caneze let her mind wander. As the art competition was around the corner,
Maya and she had to be quick for their project. Suddenly, an idea for a picture came to her, so she fetched her sketchbook. Sitting at the table, she sketched while the adults talked. Then Caneze heard Mom say, “I have to run out for a few minutes. You can stay here with Grandpa. ”
Caneze suddenly felt unsure and shy, what would the two of them talk about “This is going to be awkward,” she thought as her mind was racing for an idea for this embarrassed moment. She gave Grandpa a polite smile and then returned to the lines and shapes she had drawn on the page.
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly she sensed Grandpa was watching her.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“This is beautiful - I didn't know you were an artist,”Caneze said.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Suddenly she sensed Grandpa was watching her. Pointing at the page, Caneze said, “This is a sketchbook. ” The old man nodded with happiness. Then she stood up, walked away and came back minutes later carrying a laptop. He typed as Caneze sketched. After a few minutes, Grandpa tapped Caneze on the shoulder and pointed to the laptop screen. Caneze moved her chair closer to his so that she could see better. The open page was an online picture from whose name Caneze could tell that it was just Grandpa's.
“This is beautiful—I didn't know you were an artist,” Caneze said. On hearing this, Grandpa's face broadened into a big smile. Swiftly, Caneze showed her grandfather some of her own work. He smiled, giving her a thumb-up. Later, when Mom returned, neither Caneze nor Grandpa seemed to notice. They were occupied in drawing together. “Apparently, Caneze finally found a common language between her and grandfather, which boosted their mutual understanding.” Mom thought, with a sweet smile brightening(across)her face. It is drawing/art that is/becomes a common language between people.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Caneze小时候和父母一起移民到美国,住在乌克兰的爷爷来看望他们,由于语言不通,爷孙俩无法交流。妈妈让Caneze和爷爷多交流,但Caneze将心思都放在了即将到来的艺术节比赛上。在一次不经意间交流中,Caneze发现爷爷是一位艺术家,并给爷爷展示了自己的绘画作品,Caneze终于在她和爷爷之间在艺术上找到了共同的语言。
【详解】1.段落续写:

Two British teachers have broken the world record for the longest journey in a tuk-tuk after pulling their failing vehicle for 43 miles. Richard Sears and Nick Gough traveled 37,500 kilometers around the world and passed through 37 countries. They did this to support grassroots education project in Africa,Asia and South America.
The pair, who set off from London, thought their expedition was over when the vehicle started to fail. When the tuk-tuk broke, they were only 43 miles from their destination. They decided to pull it the rest of the way. The tuk-tuk,which weighs 800 kilograms, was pulled in turns by Richard and Nick over three days.

The pair were back on the road and aiming for their next goal. Along their journey they had to tackle deserts and jungles.

They joined street children in the slums of Cairo, Khartoum, Kampala, Mumbai and Phnom Penh. They visited Congolese refugees(难民)in camps in Eastern Burundi. They witnessed how education could free sex-workers in Delhi and victims of human trafficking in Nepal.
The pair established The Tuk Tuk Educational Trust, a UK registered charity. Talking about their motivation, Richard said, “The world's leaders have made a commitment to achieving universal primary education but, in spite of this pledge(誓言),over 57 million primary-aged children worldwide are still out of school; many more are in school, but still cannot access quality learning opportunities. ”

Flying over a desert area in an airplane, two scientists looked down with trained eyes at trees and bushes. After an hour's flight one of the scientists wrote in his book, “Look here for probable metal.” Scientists in another airplane, flying over a mountain area, sent a message to other scientists on the ground, “Gold possible.” Walking across hilly ground, four scientists reported, “This ground should be searched for metal.” From an airplane over a hilly wasteland a scientist sent back by radio one word: “Uranium.”
None of the scientists had X-ray eyes: they had no magic power of looking down below the earth's surface. They were merely putting to use one of the newest methods of locating minerals in the ground... trees and plants as signs that certain minerals may lie beneath the ground on which the trees and plants are growing.
This newest method of searching for minerals is based on the fact that minerals deep in the earth may affect the kind of bushes and trees that grow in the surface.
At Watson Bar Greek, a brook (小溪) six thousand feet high in the mountains of British Columbia,Canada, a mineral search group gathered bags of tree seeds. Boxes were filled with small branches from the trees. Roots were dug and put into boxes. Each bag and box was carefully marked. In a scientific laboratory the parts of the forest trees were burned to ashes and tested. Each small part was examined to learn whether there were minerals in it.
Study of the roots, branches, and seeds showed no silver. But there were small amounts of gold in the roots and a little less gold in the branches and seeds. The seeds growing nearest to the tree trunks had more gold than those growing on the ends of the branches.
28. Scientists were flying over a desert or a hilly wasteland or a mountain area in order to search for_____ in the ground.
A. gold B. silver C. minerals D. metals
29. The scientists were searching for minerals by using_______.
A. X-ray B. trained eyes
C. a special instrument D. magic power
30. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as part of a tree that can help find minerals
A. Branches. B. Roots. C. Leaves. D. Seeds.
31. Which is the best title suggested below
A. Scientists Searching for Metals with Special Power
B. New Methods of Searching for Minerals
C. Gold Could Be Found by Trees and Plants
D. A New Method of Searching for Minerals-Using Trees and Plants

It was early morning. Peter Corbett helped Mark Wellman out of his wheelchair and onto the ground. They stood before El Capitan, a huge mass of rock almost three-quarters of a mile high in California's beautiful Yosemite Valley. It had been Mark's dream to climb El Capitan for as long as he could remember. But how could a person without the use of his legs hope to try to climb it
Mark knew he couldn't finish the climb alone, but his friend Peter, an expert rock climber, would be there to lend a helping hand. He and Mark thought that it would take seven days to reach the top.
Peter climbed about 100 feet up and hammered a piton (岩钉) into the rock. Fastening one end of a 165-foot rope to the piton, he let one end of the rope fall down. Mark caught the rope and fastened it to his belt with a special instrument. This instrument would allow Mark to move upward, but would prevent him from falling even as much as a single inch. He next reached above his head and fastened a T-shaped bar to the rope, using the same kind of instrument.
Mark took a deep breath, pushed the T-bar up almost as far as his arms could reach, and began the first of the 7, 000 pull-ups needed to reach the top. High above, Peter let out a cheer. “You're on your way. ”
Seven years before, at the age of twenty-one, Mark had fallen while mountain climbing, injuring his backbone. The fall cost him the use of his legs, but he never lost his love of adventure or his joyful spirit.
For the first four days the two men progressed steadily upward without incident. But on the fifth day an unbearably hot wind began to blow, and as time went by, it became stronger and stronger, causing Mark to sway (摇摆) violently on his rope. But Mark kept on determinedly pushing up the T-bar and pulling himself up. In spite of that, he had to admit that he felt a lot better when the wind finally died down and his body touched solid rock again.
It took them one day more than they had expected, but on July 26 at 1:45 in the afternoon, the crowd of people waiting on the top went wild with joy as the two heads appeared. Mark Wellman had shown that if you set your heart and mind on a goal, no wall is too high, no dream impossible.
32. What had Mark Wellman long desired to do
A. To finish one of the most difficult rock climbs in the world.
B. To be the first to climb El Capitan.
C. To climb the highest mountain in California.
D. To help his friend Peter climb El Capitan.
33. How did Mark climb the mountain
A. He fastened the rope to his wheelchair.
B. He pulled himself up using a T-bar and special equipment.
C. He held on to the T-bar and Peter pulled him up.
D. He hammered in pitons so that he had something to hold on to.
34. What was the worst problem Mark had during the climb
A. He struck against the rock and hurt his arms.
B. While swaying in space he became terrified.
C. He kept falling several inches.
D. A strong wind blew him away from the rock.
35. How did Mark react to difficulties during the climb
A. He admitted that he was frightened.
B. He was able to remain calm and determined.
C. He often worried about his friend's condition.
D. He was joking to cheer himself up.

Caneze and her parents moved to the United Sates when she was only two years old and they haven't visited their motherland for ten years. Last month, Caneze's grandfather came to see them, and the family threw a big party. But Caneze didn't spend much time with him that day. He didn't speak English,so how could she have any sort of conversation with him Caneze spent most of that day in the study room,texting her best friend, Maya, and watching her cousins play video games. There was a huge art competition coming up at school,and Caneze and Maya were planning to compete.
“I wish you'd spent time with your grandfather instead of your phone, Caneze,” Mom said one day on the way home.
“But I don't even know him,” Caneze said, “and he doesn't speak any English. How could I talk to him ”
“And you don't speak any Ukrainian(乌克兰语), Caneze, but he'd love to get to know you. I think you may find that you two have a lot in common. ”
Two weeks later, Caneze came home from school in the afternoon to find her grandfather sitting at the kitchen table chatting with Mom happily. On the table sat some books. The old man smiled warmly at Caneze, and she smiled back as she sat down at the table. As Grandpa and Mom spoke in Ukrainian, Caneze let her mind wander. As the art competition was around the corner,
Maya and she had to be quick for their project. Suddenly, an idea for a picture came to her, so she fetched her sketchbook. Sitting at the table, she sketched while the adults talked. Then Caneze heard Mom say, “I have to run out for a few minutes. You can stay here with Grandpa. ”
Caneze suddenly felt unsure and shy what would the two of them talk about “This is going to be awkward,” she thought as her mind was racing for an idea for this embarrassed moment. She gave Grandpa a polite smile and then returned to the lines and shapes she had drawn on the page.
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly she sensed Grandpa was watching her.
