My body hit the water with a pounding and I suddenly felt afraid that terrible things could happen. Water gushed(涌出)through my mouth and left its salty taste. My feet touched the ground as I attempted to float back up to the surface. I could see the speed boats in the distance and I started to panic.
I saw something gray from a distance coming closer and closer. As it approached me, I realized that it was not a good one-it was a SHARK! Its fin(鳍)was moving closer and I attempted to swim as fast and as far away from it as possible. My heart beat faster and faster as my body got all stiff(僵硬的). I looked behind me and saw the huge sharp teeth pointing directly at me. As I turned away, I heard jaws shut with a mighty bite! The shark turned away and left me alone.
I looked at my feet and saw bright red blood flow into the water. I cleaned it with some water and a thought went into my mind-sharks love blood, and that was not good for me. I knew more fins were surrounding me from every direction. I was stuck in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by about ten sharks and they were all heading for me.
They all stared at me with their white sharp teeth sticking out, ready to attack. Slower and slower they got ready to bite. Just then I heard an engine heading my way and I saw a speed boat pushing some heavy waves away. As it came closer, I saw a tall man driving it. The engine roared in my ears and it began to scare the sharks away.
As they swam away, I began to make my way back to the shore. The boat sped towards me and I slowly climbed on it. With relief we headed back towards the shore.
24. What did the author do when the first shark came close to him/her
A. He/She hit the shark. B. He/She tried to swim away fast.
C. He/She dived deep into the water. D. He/She stayed in the water quietly.
25. Why did the sharks finally swim away without attacking the author
A. The engine drove them away. B. A man scared them away.
C. They couldn't find the author. D. They found a new target.
26. How did the author feel in the end
A. Frightened. B. Nervous. C. Anxious. D. Relaxed.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. An Exciting Trip B. A Helpful Speed Boat
C. An Unforgettable Experience D. A Brave Tall Man

A Journey to the Yosemite Firefall
Each year, thousands of people are attracted to the Yosemite National Park in California for a chance of seeing — and photographing — the unique “firefall”. The amazing “firefall” comes to life only when there is enough water from the melting (融化) snow to keep the Horsetail Fall flowing and when the light of the setting sun hits the waterfall at the right angle. It can only be seen for a short time in February on clear sunny days.
This year, the weather isn’t stopping the “firefall” from happening, but it is making the journey to see it more difficult.
“What would have been a 10-minute walk turned into a two-hour hike through deep snow ” photographer Ryan Fitzsimons said about his recent trip to see the phenomenon. “Our clothes were all wet by the time we got to a viewing site. But the heavy snow made the sight much more beautiful since the waterfall is much bigger this year.”
Another photographer Andy Heitz was making his first trip to see the “firefall”. He had to wait five hours in the extreme cold for his turn to take a picture.
“I got to the site at about 12:00 at noon. The place was already filled with hundreds of people waiting to see and photograph the ‘firefall’. I was so lucky that I shot a really wonderful burner! I was completely amazed with what I saw,” he said. “You know, only on a couple days of the year in February and when the sun sets down at the perfect angle to shine on Yosemite’s Horsetail Fall can we see the ‘Fire Fall’. I’ll never forget what I have seen.”
The “firefall” should continue to be there from 20 to 24 February. But park officials said that there’s no guarantee (保证) that visitors will see it on any given day.
28. When might be the best time to take pictures of the “firefall”
A. Early in the morning. B. At noon.
C. Late in the afternoon. D. At night.
29. What does the underlined word “burner” in paragraph 5 refer to
A. A worker in the kitchen.
B. The fire in the Yosemite National Park.
C. A part of a cooker or stove.
D. The unique Horsetail Fall in the setting sun.
30. Why might the “firefall” disappear between 20 to 24 February this year
A. There wouldn’t be enough snow. B. It might be too cloudy.
C. The waterfall might not freeze. D. The snow might met too fast.
31. What is the main purpose of this text
A. To introduce an attraction. B. To give suggestions for a trip.
C. To advertise a park in the US. D. To explain what is a “firefall”.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国加州约塞米蒂的“火瀑布”。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The amazing “firefall” comes to life only when there is enough water from the melting (融化) snow to keep the Horsetail Fall flowing and when the light of the setting sun hits the waterfall at the right angle.”可知,只有当融雪中有足够的水来保持马尾瀑布的流动,当夕阳以合适的角度照射到瀑布时,神奇的“火瀑布”才会出现。由此可知,“火瀑布”形成于日落时分,也是最好的拍照时间。故选C。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句子后面内容“You know, only on a couple days of the year in February and when the sun sets down at the perfect angle to shine on Yosemite’s Horsetail Fall can we see the ‘Fire Fall’.”可知,你知道,只有在每年2月的这几天,当太阳以完美的角度落在约塞米蒂的马尾瀑布上时,我们才能看到“火瀑布”。在划线词所在的句子中,摄影师安迪 海茨说“I was so lucky(我是如此幸运)”可推知,他拍到了完美的“火瀑布”。由此推知,划线词burner 指的就是The unique Horsetail Fall in the setting sun.(夕阳下独特的马尾瀑布)。故选D项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“It can only be seen for a short time in February on clear sunny days.”可知,只有在二月份晴朗的晴天才会看到它。结合文章第二段中的“But the heavy snow made the sight much more beautiful since the waterfall is much bigger this year.”可知,但是大雪使景色更加美丽,因为今年的瀑布更大了。由此可知,今年刚下了大雪,所以“火瀑布”可能会消失的原因只能是没有太阳。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。结合文章的题目“A Journey to the Yosemite Firefall(约塞米蒂“火瀑布”之旅)”和文章内容可知,文章的主要目的是介绍一个著名的景观——约塞米蒂“火瀑布”。故选A项。
【点睛】细节理解题是指原文提到了某事物、现象或理论,题干针对原文具体叙述本身发问。一般包括直接理解题可以在原文中可直接找到答案,常用who, what, when, where, why和how等提问。做这类题一般采用寻读法,即先读题,然后带着问题快速阅读短文,找出与问题有关的词语或句子,再对相关部分进行分析对比,找出答案。如第1小题,根据第一段中的“The amazing “firefall” comes to life only when there is enough water from the melting (融化) snow to keep the Horsetail Fall flowing and when the light of the setting sun hits the waterfall at the right angle.”可知,只有当融雪中有足够的水来保持马尾瀑布的流动,当夕阳以合适的角度照射到瀑布时,神奇的“火瀑布”才会出现。由此可知,“火瀑布”形成于日落时分,也是最好的拍照时间。故选C。
D
Take a walk down the street of any city and you are sure to pass signs for KFC, McDonald's, and Pizza Hut. In 2010, there are fast food restaurants in over 650 cities throughout China. Last year, the fast food industry in China grew 13%, compared to just 2.9%in the USA. This year, there were over 560 Pizza Huts, 1,200 McDonald's, and 3,000 KFCs throughout the country.
Why is fast food so popular in China The people behind KFC, McDonald's, and other companies realized the need for adaptation. You can find items in Chinese KFCs that you cannot find in the West. That is because they not only realize that Chinese palates (味觉) are different, but also willingly spend the time and money to create new food specifically for those palates. This localization of an international brand makes fast food eaters in China feel as if they are part of a larger community, yet can enjoy their regional tastes.
Curiosity also played heavily into the popularization of fast food restaurants in China. There's no better way to get people to enter your restaurant than to have something different that everyone is curious to try. There is also a general idea that things from the West are better, or if something is good enough for western people, it is good enough for Chinese people. This could also have encouraged Chinese people, especially the young, to frequently go to fast food restaurants.
People are willing to spend a bit more on these fast food because of the general concern for food safety that seems to be becoming more and more important to most Chinese people. While there are still countless food shops on the roadside that have no government control over safety standards, there are many people who demand higher health standards. These foreign fast food restaurants that follow western standards of food safety attract this crowd. Until they stop providing what the Chinese people obviously want, they will continue to remain popular.
32. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The introduction to fast food. B. The popularity of fast food in China.
C. The development of fast food industry. D. The reasons for the popularity of fast food.
33. How do foreign fast food restaurants make their food popular in China
A. By changing their own brands. B. By reducing the cost of fast food.
C. By making new food fit for Chinese palates. D. By opening restaurants in large communities.
34. Why are Chinese willing to enter western fast food restaurants
A. Eating fast food is a fashion. B. Western fast food is cheaper.
C. Western food is more delicious. D. They think western fast food is safer.
35. Where is the text most probably from
A. A news report. B. A travel book. C. A sports magazine. D. A storybook.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。本文说明了近年快餐业在中国迅速发展的原因。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。通读第一段,尤其是最后两句“Last year, the fast food industry in China grew 13%, compared to just 2.9%in the USA. This year, there were over 560 Pizza Huts, 1,200 McDonald's, and 3,000 KFCs throughout the country. (去年,中国的快餐业增长了13%,而美国只有2.9%。今年,全国有560多家比萨饼店、1200家麦当劳和3000家肯德基)”可知,中国的快餐业仅仅去年就增长了13%,今年,全国有560多家比萨饼店、1200家麦当劳和3000家肯德基,这些数字表明中国的快餐业非常流行。因此,第一段主要讲的是B项“The popularity of fast food in China.(快餐在中国的流行)”符合题意,故选B项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Why is fast food so popular in China The people behind KFC, McDonald's, and other companies realized the need for adaptation.You can find items in Chinese KFCs that you cannot find in the West. That is because they not only realize that Chinese palates are different, but also willingly spend the time and money to create new food specifically for those palates. (为什么快餐在中国如此受欢迎 肯德基、麦当劳和其他公司背后的人意识到了适应的必要性。你可以在中国的肯德基找到在西方找不到的东西。这是因为他们不仅意识到中国人口味是不同的,但也愿意花时间和金钱,创造新的食物,特别是那些口味)”可知,
外国快餐店意识到了适应中国人口味的必要性,也愿意花时间和金钱创造新食物迎合中国人的口味。因此,外国快餐店使其食品在中国流行的方式是通过制作适合中国人口味的新食物。故选C项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“While there are still countless food shops on the roadside that have no government control over safety standards, there are many people who demand higher health standards. These foreign fast food restaurants that follow western standards of food safety attract this crowd. (尽管路边仍有无数食品店没有政府对安全标准的控制,但仍有许多人要求更高的健康标准。这些遵循西方食品安全标准的外国快餐店吸引了这群人)”可知,许多人认为路边许多食品店不够安全卫生,而遵循西方食品安全标准的外国快餐店吸引了他们,他们认为西式快餐更安全。因此,中国人愿意进入西式快餐店的原因是他们认为西式快餐更安全。故选D项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段“In 2010, there are fast food restaurants in over 650 cities throughout China. Last year, the fast food industry in China grew 13%, compared to just 2.9%in the USA. This year, there were over 560 Pizza Huts, 1,200 McDonald's, and 3,000 KFCs throughout the country. (2010年,中国650多个城市都有快餐店。去年,中国的快餐业增长了13%,而美国只有2.9%。今年,全国有560多家比萨饼店、1200家麦当劳和3000家肯德基)”可知,本文用详尽的数据表明中国快餐业发展迅速,陈述了外国快餐店在中国受到欢迎的原因,很可能来自新闻报道。故选A项。

(使用一个加重的物体,如一瓶水,使自己与肩同宽。肩膀向后,手臂抬高至90度,当你将瓶子举国头顶时,呼出气;当你放低手臂时,吸气)”可知,上文建议举着重物(例如一瓶水)锻炼。因此E选项“如果这些东西太轻,找一个重一点的东西。”符合语境。故选E。
【39题详解】
根据上句“Dancing can improve the health of your heart and lungs and keep you healthy as you perform daily tasks. (跳舞能改善你心肺功能,当你完成日常任务时,让你保持健康)”可知,跳舞时需要音乐。因此D选项“打开你喜爱的歌曲,跟随音乐节奏运动。”符合语境。故选D。
【40题详解】
根据下文“Higher daily step counts have also been linked with lower all-cause mortality (死亡率). It can also keep you healthy as you observe nature in your own backyard. (较高的每日步数也与较低的全因死亡率有关。当你在自家后院观察自然时,就能让你保持健康)”可知,走路多,全因死亡率低,说明要多去外面走走。因此A选项“常去外面散步可以改变你的生活。”符合语境。故选A。

Hello everyone! I've just came back from a wonderful trip to Tibet. It's such beautiful that I seemed to be taken into a fairyland(仙境). The scenery is so impressive or the air is so bright and clean. Visitors are being told to pay attention to protect the environment. Therefore, this beautiful countryside is being spoiled by careless visitors. Cans, plastic bags and paper is being thrown away by many tour groups as they pass through Tibet. I am worrying about the effect this will have the local wildlife. How can we make the visitors more aware(意识到)of who is being done to the environment We should all to think about this.
【答案】1.came→come
2.such→so
3.or→and
4.protect→protecting
5.Therefore→However
6.is→are
7.worrying→worried
8.have后加on
9.who→what
10.去掉to
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章讲述了西藏之旅,介绍了西藏美丽的风景,阐述了游客对当地环境造成的破坏,呼吁游客应该保护环境。
【详解】1.考查时态。句意:我刚从一次美妙的西藏之旅回来。根据句意,描述过去发生的事情对现在的影响用现在完成时,故将came改为come。
2.考查副词。句意:它是如此美丽,以至于我好像被带进了一个仙境。修饰形容词用副词so,so…that…“如此……以至于……”是固定短语,such修饰名词,故将such改为so。
3.考查连词。句意:那里的风景是如此的令人赞叹,并且空气是如此的明亮和干净。前后文是并列关系不是选择关系,故将or改为and。
4.考查非谓语动词。句意:游客们被告知要注意保护环境。pay attention to“注意”,to是介词,接动名词作宾语,故将protect改为protecting。
5.考查副词。句意:游客们被告知要注意保护环境。然而,这个美丽的乡村正被粗心的游客破坏。根据句意,前后文是转折关系,有逗号与句子隔开,用however“然而”,故将Therefore改为However。
6.考查主谓一致。句意:许多旅游团在经过西藏时,扔下罐子、塑料袋和纸。主语“Cans, plastic bags and paper”是复数,谓语动词用复数,表示现在正存在的动作用现在进行时,故将is改为are。
7.考查形容词。句意:我担心这会对当地的野生动物产生的影响。表示人的感受用worried“担心的”,worrying“令人担心的”,常用来修饰物,此处表示作者是担心的,故将worrying改为worried。
8.考查介词。句意:我担心这会对当地的野生动物产生影响。分析句子可知,“this will have the local wildlife”是定语从句,省略了关系代词,修饰the effect,have the effect on“对……产生影响”是固定短语,先行词effect作介词on的宾语,故在have后加on。
9.考查宾语从句。句意:我们如何让游客更加意识到正对环境做什么呢?根据上文“Cans, plastic bags and paper are being thrown away by many tour groups as they pass through Tibet. (许多旅游团在经过西藏时,扔下罐子、塑料袋和纸。)”可推断,此处说的是“让游客更加意识到正对环境做什么”,指代上文游客做的事情,用what“什么”引导宾语从句, 故将who改为what。
10.考查动词。句意:我们都应该考虑这个。should是情态动词,接动词原形,故去掉to。

My body hit the water with a pounding and I suddenly felt afraid that terrible things could happen. Water gushed(涌出)through my mouth and left its salty taste. My feet touched the ground as I attempted to float back up to the surface. I could see the speed boats in the distance and I started to panic.
I saw something gray from a distance coming closer and closer. As it approached me, I realized that it was not a good one-it was a SHARK! Its fin(鳍)was moving closer and I attempted to swim as fast and as far away from it as possible. My heart beat faster and faster as my body got all stiff(僵硬的). I looked behind me and saw the huge sharp teeth pointing directly at me. As I turned away, I heard jaws shut with a mighty bite! The shark turned away and left me alone.
I looked at my feet and saw bright red blood flow into the water. I cleaned it with some water and a thought went into my mind-sharks love blood, and that was not good for me. I knew more fins were surrounding me from every direction. I was stuck in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by about ten sharks and they were all heading for me.
They all stared at me with their white sharp teeth sticking out, ready to attack. Slower and slower they got ready to bite. Just then I heard an engine heading my way and I saw a speed boat pushing some heavy waves away. As it came closer, I saw a tall man driving it. The engine roared in my ears and it began to scare the sharks away.
As they swam away, I began to make my way back to the shore. The boat sped towards me and I slowly climbed on it. With relief we headed back towards the shore.
24. What did the author do when the first shark came close to him/her
A. He/She hit the shark. B. He/She tried to swim away fast.

A Journey to the Yosemite Firefall
Each year, thousands of people are attracted to the Yosemite National Park in California for a chance of seeing — and photographing — the unique “firefall”. The amazing “firefall” comes to life only when there is enough water from the melting (融化) snow to keep the Horsetail Fall flowing and when the light of the setting sun hits the waterfall at the right angle. It can only be seen for a short time in February on clear sunny days.
This year, the weather isn’t stopping the “firefall” from happening, but it is making the journey to see it more difficult.
“What would have been a 10-minute walk turned into a two-hour hike through deep snow ” photographer Ryan Fitzsimons said about his recent trip to see the phenomenon. “Our clothes were all wet by the time we got to a viewing site. But the heavy snow made the sight much more beautiful since the waterfall is much bigger this year.”
Another photographer Andy Heitz was making his first trip to see the “firefall”. He had to wait five hours in the extreme cold for his turn to take a picture.
“I got to the site at about 12:00 at noon. The place was already filled with hundreds of people waiting to see and photograph the ‘firefall’. I was so lucky that I shot a really wonderful burner! I was completely amazed with what I saw,” he said. “You know, only on a couple days of the year in February and when the sun sets down at the perfect angle to shine on Yosemite’s Horsetail Fall can we see the ‘Fire Fall’. I’ll never forget what I have seen.”
The “firefall” should continue to be there from 20 to 24 February. But park officials said that there’s no guarantee (保证) that visitors will see it on any given day.
28. When might be the best time to take pictures of the “firefall”
A. Early in the morning. B. At noon.
C. Late in the afternoon. D. At night.
29. What does the underlined word “burner” in paragraph 5 refer to
A. A worker in the kitchen.
B. The fire in the Yosemite National Park.
C. A part of a cooker or stove.
D. The unique Horsetail Fall in the setting sun.
30. Why might the “firefall” disappear between 20 to 24 February this year
A. There wouldn’t be enough snow. B. It might be too cloudy.
C. The waterfall might not freeze. D. The snow might met too fast.
31. What is the main purpose of this text
A. To introduce an attraction. B. To give suggestions for a trip.
C. To advertise a park in the US. D. To explain what is a “firefall”.
D
Take a walk down the street of any city and you are sure to pass signs for KFC, McDonald's, and Pizza Hut. In 2010, there are fast food restaurants in over 650 cities throughout China. Last year, the fast food industry in China grew 13%, compared to just 2.9%in the USA. This year, there were over 560 Pizza Huts, 1,200 McDonald's, and 3,000 KFCs throughout the country.
Why is fast food so popular in China The people behind KFC, McDonald's, and other companies realized the need for adaptation. You can find items in Chinese KFCs that you cannot find in the West. That is because they not only realize that Chinese palates (味觉) are different, but also willingly spend the time and money to create new food specifically for those palates. This localization of an international brand makes fast food eaters in China feel as if they are part of a larger community, yet can enjoy their regional tastes.
Curiosity also played heavily into the popularization of fast food restaurants in China. There's no better way to get people to enter your restaurant than to have something different that everyone is curious to try. There is also a general idea that things from the West are better, or if something is good enough for western people, it is good enough for Chinese people. This could also have encouraged Chinese people, especially the young, to frequently go to fast food restaurants.
People are willing to spend a bit more on these fast food because of the general concern for food safety that seems to be becoming more and more important to most Chinese people. While there are still countless food shops on the roadside that have no government control over safety standards, there are many people who demand higher health standards. These foreign fast food restaurants that follow western standards of food safety attract this crowd. Until they stop providing what the Chinese people obviously want, they will continue to remain popular.
32. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. The introduction to fast food. B. The popularity of fast food in China.
C. The development of fast food industry. D. The reasons for the popularity of fast food.
33. How do foreign fast food restaurants make their food popular in China
A. By changing their own brands. B. By reducing the cost of fast food.
C. By making new food fit for Chinese palates. D. By opening restaurants in large communities.
34. Why are Chinese willing to enter western fast food restaurants
A. Eating fast food is a fashion. B. Western fast food is cheaper.
C. Western food is more delicious. D. They think western fast food is safer.
35. Where is the text most probably from
A. A news report. B. A travel book. C. A sports magazine. D. A storybook.
