Guam is a beautiful, small island in the Pacific Ocean. You'll find happy songbirds, clear blue water, and leafy forest there. But the small island has a big problem: snakes. There are about 2 million brown tree snakes living in Guam.
The snakes likely arrived in the 1940s. They probably slipped (滑行) unseen onto ships and planes heading to Guam. Once there, the snakes laid eggs. Snake families grew. The snakes have no natural enemies to eat them on Guam. Soon, the island was covered with these snakes.
The brown tree snake has had a devastating effect. The snakes eat birds. There used to be 12 kinds of birds on the island. But these snakes have killed off nine kinds of the birds. The snakes can grow to be 10 feet long. They often bite humans. They climb onto power lines and make the electricity go out. This causes millions of dollars in damage.
Scientists have tried many different ways to control the number of snakes. They have used snake traps and snake sniffing dogs. Nothing seemed to work. Nothing, that is, until they found a surprising secret weapon: killer mice.
Scientists found out that there is one easy way to kill brown tree snakes. They could give them a medicine called Tylenol. People take Tylenol for headaches and other pains. Even a little bit of Tylenol can kill a brown tree snake.
But how would scientists get the tree snakes to eat Tylenol They came up with a plan. First, the experts put the medicine into dead mice. Then they attached each mouse to a mini paper parachute (降落伞).Planes dropped the mice over Guam. The parachutes got caught in the trees. The mice became dinner for the snakes that live there.
Has it worked So far, research shows that there are fewer snakes because of the mice. The worry is that it may be too late to clear the snakes, but Mr. Vice from Guam's Department of Agriculture says this should not stop the islanders from trying. “Our long term goal is to kill the snake off completely，” he says.
1．What can we learn about the brown tree snakes
A．They were shipped to Guam on purpose.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了关岛是一个美丽的地方，但是有一个很大的问题——到处是棕树蛇。杀死棕树蛇一个有效的方法是让它们吃携带Tylenol的老鼠。关岛农业部的Vice先生鼓励岛民们尝试，希望未来可以彻底消灭蛇。
1．答案与解析：B 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The snakes likely arrived in the 1940s.They probably slipped (滑行) unseen onto ships and planes heading to Guam.”可知，蛇可能是在20世纪40年代出现的，它们可能趁人不注意溜上了前往关岛的船只和飞机。由此推断出，棕树蛇不是关岛的本地物种。
2．答案与解析：D 词义猜测题。根据后句可知，棕树蛇吃鸟，岛上曾经有12种鸟类，但是这些蛇已经杀死了九种鸟类。蛇可以长到10英尺长，它们经常咬人。他们爬上电线，让电力供应中断，这造成了数百万美元的损失。以上说明了这种蛇的危害性很大。由此可以推断出画线词“devastating”意思是“有破坏性的”。Magical有魔力的； Interesting有趣的； Short term短期的； Damaging造成破坏的。
3．答案与解析：D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Has it worked So far, research shows that there are fewer snakes because of the mice.”可知，杀死棕树蛇一个有效的方法是让它们吃携带Tylenol的老鼠。
4．答案与解析：B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中最后一句可知， Guam岛农业部的Vice先生说，这不应该阻止岛民的尝试。“我们的长期目标是彻底消灭蛇。”由此推断出， Vice先生对解决蛇的问题满怀希望。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一群青蛙在穿过树林时，其中两只掉进了一个深洞里，其余的青蛙都在说它们死定了，其中的一只信以为真，最终死了，而另一只青蛙以为是鼓励的话最终不断的尝试，终于跳出来了。
1．答案与解析：F 根据上下文内容可知，上文提到两只青蛙掉进了洞里，后文则提到洞外的青蛙，故本句应是在说明其他的青蛙并没有跳进洞中，而是在洞外朝掉入洞中的两只同伴叫喊，故F项“所有其他的青蛙都聚在一起看着它们掉下去的两个朋友”符合语境。
2．答案与解析：E 根据上文可知，洞外的青蛙认为落入洞中的两只青蛙应该停止努力，认为他们试图跳出来是浪费时间，故E项“青蛙告诉它们，它们只是在浪费时间”符合语境。
3．答案与解析：D 结合上下文内容可知，上段提到一只青蛙死了，所以本句是在说明另一只青蛙的情况，故D项“另一只青蛙继续比以前跳得更用力”符合语境。
4．答案与解析：G 根据下文内容可知，另外一只青蛙最后通过努力跳出了洞外，故G项“最后，令所有其他青蛙惊讶的是，他从深洞里跳了出来”符合语境。
5．答案与解析：B 根据上文可知，此处通过故事总结出道理：我们的语言对他人产生巨大的影响，故B项“我们的话确实有伤害或帮助的力量”符合语境。

While cities are known for being centers of culture and entertainment, small towns often have just as much to offer. The following are among the best small towns in the US.
ALASKA: Sitka
Population: 8，493
Sitka is located on Baranof Island, making it only accessible by plane or boat. Lying between mountains and the Pacific ocean, it gives residents splendid views and even incredible wildlife.
From whale watching to incredible hikes Sitka has everything an adventure traveler needs within a small town setting.
COLORADO: Crested Butte
Population: 1，681
Crested Butte, situated in the Rocky Mountains, is known for its flowers. In fact, the town is called the “Wildflower Capital of Colorado.” One of the town's most beautiful seasons is July, when it hosts the Wildflower Festival. The warmer months also offer 750 miles of biking trails and camping in the forest.In the winter, Crested Butte becomes a popular skiing destination.
LOUISIANA: St.Francisville
Population: 1，616
St.Francisville, Louisiana, is so peaceful and beautiful that it even made it to the big screen, becoming the set for movies like Tom Cruise's “Oblivion” and “TheMazeRunner.” You can also explore historic plantations alongside some of the most beautiful scenes. The Bluffs is another attraction in town for those who love golf.
WISCONSIN: Stockholm
Population: 66
Lying along the Mississippi River, Stockholm, Wisconsin, has remained relatively untouched over the years. With just over 60 residents, Stockholm has no chain stores or restaurants in town. Its local businesses still attract travelers, though, especially its famous pie shop, Stockholm Pie and General Store. Owing to its location, the town was able to preserve its Swedish heritage.

Traveling with kids is 90 percent reminding yourself to live in the moment and 10 percent making up your mind to never again leave your house.
I have an uncanny ability to forget this as soon as we return home from a trip and I've finished washing piles of dirty clothes in our luggage and cleaning all the mess caused by the kids. Extremely tired and annoyed, I would actually begin to miss the place we just left!
Family travel is like childbirth, I suppose. Painful, loud, messy, sort of awful, actually, but also wonderful. And you remember only the wonderful—until you're back on a plane and your kids are fighting over who gets the aisle seat. Then you remember the bad stuff.
Last weekend, my kids and I flew to Texas for a trip we would have nothing to complain (抱怨) about—big hotel, wonderful view.
And yet—we found things to complain about. The pool was bigger in that other hotel! Why do you get to shower first They call this coffee Luckily, I've learned to put my metaphorical coat of armor (盔甲) on as soon as we land somewhere, and it forces complaints to bounce off me and land in a pile at my feet.
For three days, genuine fun was had and annoying complaints were heard and ignored, until it was time to catch a plane and fly home.
Unfortunately, our flight was canceled. We spent hours finding a hotel room. We hit the hotel pool before bed and swam well into the night, my kids making up songs and laughing so hard at their silly lyrics (歌词) and their crazy good fortune to be swimming at 10：30 on a school night.
And that was when it hit me that family travel is all those things I said before but it's also a lot more. It's taking your kids to parts of the world that will open their eyes and finding that actually, yours need opening too. It's remembering that joy and memories are where you make them, not where you find them.
4．What does the underlined word “uncanny” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Unknown. B．Uncertain.
C．Unexpected. D．Unusual.
5．According to the passage, family travel is like childbirth in that ________．
A．they both cause financial trouble and pain
B．they are both hard as well as rewarding
C．childhood memories come flooding back when they travel
D．both of them need many preparations
6．What does the sentence “I've learned to put my metaphorical coat of armor on” in Paragraph 5 mean
A．She tries to deal with the complaints more wisely and properly.
B．She turns those annoying complaints into a means of educating kids.
C．She has improved her language skills when handling the complaints.
D．She has succeeded in escaping kids' fighting thanks to the armor.
7．From the author's experience in the passage, we CANNOT learn that ________．
A．family vacation benefits her kids as well as her
B．joy and memories should be created rather than discovered
C．the most unforgettable memory for her is about the complaints
D．she has to spend some time on housework after the family vacation
Ⅱ.语法填空
It isn't unusual for foreigners to experience some level of culture shock in China. The country is famed for 1.________ (it) unique culture, and you will have no shortage of new things 2.________ (explore) and learn about. China's fast development is likely to make the adjustment more 3.________ (comfort) for most new arrivals.
The language barrier can be 4.________ big challenge for foreigners. There are a few reasons for this. Apart 5.________ Chinese Mandarin, hundreds of other dialects exist. In some rural areas, 6.________ (disappointing), some people can't even speak Mandarin.
The second reason is 7.________ even though young people learn English nowadays, the education system doesn't give them many 8.________ (opportunity) to use it. This means that while many people can understand easy phrases, they're often quite shy when it comes to 9.________ (speak).
People generally don't bother translating things into English outside big cities, where the biggest numbers of foreigners 10.________ (find). As such, it's a good idea for foreigners to learn a few useful phrases in Chinese before arriving in the country.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了美国的几个小镇。
1．答案与解析：A 细节理解题。根据ALASKA: Sitka 部分的介绍及“splendid views and even incredible wildlife”可知， Sitka 有各种各样的探险活动，是冒险家的理想目的地。
2．答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据COLORADO: Crested Butte中“One of the town's most beautiful seasons is July, when it hosts the Wildflower Festival.”和LOUISIANA: St.Francisville中“You can also explore historic plantations alongside some of the most beautiful scenes.”可知，这两个小镇都有着美丽的风景。
3．答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据WISCONSIN: Stockholm中的内容可知， Stockholm之所以保留着原来的风貌，跟它独特的地理位置密不可分。
B
【语篇解读】 本文是夹叙夹议文。带孩子出游90%是提醒我们活在当下，10%是让我们下定决心不要离开自己的家，但带孩子出游会让全家受益。一次航班被取消，全家一起在宾馆度过的快乐时光让作者意识到快乐和回忆需要被创造而不是被发现。
4．答案与解析：D 词义猜测题。根据首段中“带孩子出游90%是提醒我们活在当下，10%是让我们下定决心不要离开自己的家”以及第二段中“I have an uncanny ability to forget this as soon as we return home from a trip...”可知，作者有一种不同寻常的能力就是出游一回到家就忘记这一点。A.unknown未知的； B．uncertain不确定的； C．unexpected出乎意料的； D．unusual 不同寻常的。这是一种不同寻常的能力。
5．答案与解析：B 推理判断题。根据第三段“Family travel is like childbirth, I suppose. Painful, loud, messy, sort of awful, actually, but also wonderful.”可知，作者认为家庭出游就像生孩子，痛苦，混乱，可怕但是也很奇妙。作者这样比喻是表示它们都很难却又有回报。
6．答案与解析：A 推理判断题。根据第五段“Luckily, I've learned to put my metaphorical coat of armor (盔甲) on as soon as we land somewhere, and it forces complaints to bounce off me and land in a pile at my feet.”以及第六段“For three days, genuine fun was had and annoying complaints were heard and ignored.”可知，作者更明智地处理孩子们的抱怨。
7．答案与解析：C 细节理解题。根据文章内容可知，作者已经学会了远离抱怨，而C项说作者最难忘的记忆是关于抱怨。
Ⅱ.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。很多外国人来到中国都会经历某种程度的文化冲击，文章对此现象解释了原因。
1．答案与解析：its 考查代词。句意：这个国家以其独特的文化而闻名，你将不会缺少新的东西去探索和学习。修饰名词culture应用形容词性物主代词。
2．答案与解析：to explore 考查非谓语动词。have things to explore表示“有东西去探索”，为常用搭配形式。
3．答案与解析：comfortable 考查形容词。此处作名词adjustment的宾语补足语应用形容词，构成“make sth.＋adj.”结构。
4．答案与解析：a 考查冠词。句意：语言障碍对外国人来说是一个很大的挑战。此处是第一次提到challenge，故用不定冠词表泛指。
5．答案与解析：from 考查介词。句意：除了汉语普通话，还有数百种其他方言。apart from意为“除了”，为固定搭配。
6．答案与解析：disappointingly 考查副词。句意：在一些农村地区，令人失望的是，有些人甚至不会说普通话。修饰整个句子作状语应用副词disappointingly。
7．答案与解析：that 考查表语从句。句意：第二个原因是，即使现在的年轻人学习英语，教育系统并没有给他们很多机会使用它。表语从句中不缺少成分和意思，所以应用that引导。
8．答案与解析：opportunities 考查名词复数。many后应用可数名词复数。
9．答案与解析：speaking 考查动名词。句意：这意味着，虽然很多人能理解简单的短语，但他们在说话时往往很害羞。when it comes to...为固定句型，介词to后应用动名词作宾语。
10．答案与解析：are found 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：在外国人最多的大城市以外，人们一般不会费事把东西翻译成英语。在定语从句中，动词find和主语foreigners构成被动关系。此处讲述客观事实，应用一般现在时。主语the biggest numbers of foreigners是复数。

Ⅲ.读后续写
In 1945, a 12 year old boy saw a beautiful brooch (胸针) in a shop window that set his heart racing. But the price—five dollars—was too high for Reuben Earle. Five dollars would buy almost a week's food for his family.
Reuben couldn't ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Dora. Slim and beautiful, she was the center of the home, the glue that held it together. The housework was never ending, and she was struggling to support their five children but she was happy as her family and their well being were all she cared about.
Nevertheless, he opened the shop's weathered (饱经风霜的) door and went inside. Standing proud and straight in his flour sack (面粉袋改做的) shirt and washed out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, “But I don't have the money right now. Can you please hold it for some time？”
“I'll try，” the shopkeeper smiled. “People around here don't usually have that kind of money to spend on things. It should keep for a while.”
Reuben respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out.
He would raise the money and not tell anybody, for he thought Mum would get surprised when she saw that brooch. On hearing the sound of hammering from a side street, Reuben suddenly had an idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags. People built their own buildings in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in bags from a local factory. Sometimes the used nail bags were thrown away at the construction site, and Reuben knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece.
That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a rusty soda tin. Every day after school, Reuben started his plan. Cold and hungry, Reuben wandered the streets, searching for the nail bags carefully. To save more money, he even decided to deliver papers in the early morning.
