Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards
A yearly contest for
the Wildlife Photographer of the Year was held in London this year. The contest
had 38, 575 entries from around the world. Let's have a scanning of four of
this year's best works.
The great prize this
year belonged to Karine Aigner of the US for an incredible shot of a ball of
bees. The "ball" was formed with a lot of male bees fighting to win a
single female bee. The picture was taken in southern Texas. Ms Aigner says that
soon after the picture was taken, a female bee flew off with one of the males.
Dmitry Kokh of Russia
won the award for Urban Wildlife. His picture of polar bears in an old house
was taken on an island in the Chukchi Sea, between Russia and Alaska. Mr Kokh
was on a boat when he noticed polar bears walking through an area where no one
had lived for years. To get the picture without disturbing the bears， he used a quiet drone (无人机)to take the
picture.
Fernando Constantino
Martinez Belmar of Mexico had to wait in the dark in a cave filled with bats
and snakes to get the image. Rat snakes in Yucatàn
hang from cracks in the ceiling of the cave, hoping to grab one of the many
bats that are flying out of the cave for the night. Using a red light that
wouldn't disturb the animals, Mr Martinez Belmar waited until just the right
moment to take the picture. He won the Amphibian and Reptile Behavior prize.
Nick Kanakis of the US
took the picture of a wood wren (鹧鸪) —a bird that spends most of its time on the ground. The bird has its
ear to the ground, listening for insects to catch and eat. After spotting a
bird looking for food farther away, he stayed very still to get the shot, which
won the prize for Bird Behavior.
1．Why do the bees develop a ball in Ms Aigner's picture
A．To protect them from being shot.
B．To struggle to get a female partner.
C．To fight with their common enemy.
D．To express their greetings to humans.
2．Which animals in the pictures are hunting other animals
A．Bees and polar bears. B．Polar bears and the snakes.
C．The snakes and the bird. D．The bird and bees.

When I was a child, my
grandmother often said interpersonal communication mattered. She backed that up
with her own behavior, and she invested her time and energy in interacting with
people. When she walked down the street, she spoke to everyone, whether an
elderly or a child, speaking whether English or Spanish.
However, as she aged, she
noticed that most people wouldn't have time for communication that's longer
than a 160-character text message, much less time to develop genuine
friendships that last decades. In fact, people are barely speaking to one
another nowadays. As much as I hate to admit it, I have noticed it too.
My grandmother opened
my mind to having a pen pal on the other side of the world. It all started in
2013 when I was at University of Southern California. I met with Kerstin Zilm, a
German radio personality who wanted to interview me about being a student
struggling financially. I didn't know much about German culture or the German
audience who would listen to the show, but I agreed to do so. I had
internalized（使内在化）my grandmother's
concept and I felt this was another way of communication and that speaking
about my story was better than keeping it to myself. You never knew who could
learn from your life experiences.
After the story aired,
a woman named Renate reached out to Kerstin, inquiring how she could find me
and help me financially with college. I was grateful, but my pride didn't allow
me to accept the money.
However, I didn't let
the opening halt. Encouraged by Kerstin, I emailed Renate back, thanking her
for her kindness. This was the beginning of a beautiful intercontinental
friend-ship. From then on, Renate and I often emailed each other. And whenever
I was in trouble, she was always there. She sent me virtual hugs at the moments
when I needed them most. Though I have never met her in person, she is one of
the most important people in my life.
4．What do we know about the author's grandmother
A．She made lots of foreign friends.
B．She valued family relationships.
C．She liked to wander on the streets.
D．She kept bonding with other people.
5．What does the author think of the people today
A．They show little respect to the elderly.
B．They look forward to having a pen pal.
C．They have limited communication with others.
D．They like chatting through long text messages.
6．What made the author decide to accept the interview
A．Her grandmother's wisdom.
B．Her pen pal's encouragement.
C．Her poverty-stricken situation.
D．Her curiosity about German culture.
7．What does the underlined word "halt" in the last paragraph mean
A．Continue. B．Appear. C．Extend. D．Stop.

Software expert James
Curran helped rewrite Australia's new curriculum (全部课程) for information technology subjects. He said the changes to the
current curriculum could stop teenagers avoiding computing and maths subjects
in high school. "Kids are naturally curious, but we don't set up the
curriculum in a way that awakens their curiosity so that they can learn the
things they want to, and the things they have to, "Curran said. "Teaching
maths and computing in a new way makes a very big difference. "
As more and more high
school students drop out of advanced maths subjects, Dr Curran warned that
computing subjects were in an even more difficult position than them. Only 1, 748
year-12 students enrolled (登记) in software
design and development in New South Wales last year—about
half the 3, 300 who studied the subject 10 years ago. Enrolments in information
technology have declined sharply, from 10, 000 in 2001 to just 1, 939 students
in 2021.
"Students are not
taking computing subjects at the senior level because the subject is a bit out
of date, "Curran said. "Computing is a subject that changes all the
time and needs to be changed every few years, so I would like to see a
continuous process of smaller changes and updates to it."
As schools struggle to
make students stick with the subjects of information technology, engineering
and maths, 1, 000 primary schools across Australia have signed up for a new
pro-gram to get young kids interested in high-tech jobs. The program uses
online lessons to show children as young as six the process of designing the
Olympics logo, and how Netflix collects information to decide which movies to
make.
11-year-old student
Mia Lucas had fun completing a model on UX design. It is the "user
experience" process that design teams use to create products. "I've
always been interested in creating a website or an app but didn't know the
first step in doing that," she said. "The pro-gram helps me a lot."
8．What is the new curriculum supposed to be according to Curran
A．Typical. B．Controversial. C．Appealing. D．Challenging.
9．What can we know about computing subjects in Australian schools
A．They are less popular with today's teenagers.
B．They are valued negatively by many schools.
C．They are harder than advanced maths subjects.
D．They are keeping a continuous rate of updating.
10．How does the new program encourage the students to take computing subjects
A．By offering high-tech jobs to them.
B．By turning lessons into virtual ones.
C．By letting them choose subjects freely.
D．By showing applications of the subjects.
11．What can be the best title for the text
A．Australian students are deserting the computing subjects
B．A new curriculum fails to work with Australian students
C．How did an Australian student fall in love with computing
D．Why did Australian schools stick with computing subjects

Many sensing systems
used in water have a problem: They rely on batteries that are often made from
unsustainable materials, so such batteries will need replacing at some point.
To look for a cleaner,
more long-lasting alternative, Zhonglin Wang at the Chinese Academy of Sciences，Beijing，and his colleagues have created a
self-charging buoy (浮标). It uses nanogenerators (纳米发电机) to gain power from the movement of waves.
The buoy consists of
an acrylic (丙烯酸的) ball about 10
centimeters across and four nanogenerators connected to a part that collects
the produced charge. As the water moves back and forth through the
nanogenerators, they generate around 24.5 milliwatts of power.
It is suggested that
the buoy could be used to check and monitor water levels for early flood
warning systems. However, there are already many effective and cheap
alternatives for this task, says Wouter Buytaert at Imperial College London. Non-contact
methods, such as lidar (激光雷达), are
probably more suitable for sensing water levels， he
explains.
"The new power
generation method could prove useful for situations in which non-contact
methods aren't workable, though, such as water quality sensing," Buytaert
says. "There have been devices similar to the buoys in measuring and
checking long-term water quality. But if such application is combined with the
function of power collecting shown here, it could be more promising, "Buytaert
says.
However, if used in rivers,
the buoy would possibly be damaged by rising or violently moving water, especially
if they are fixed at the rapids of the flood as an early warning system. "In
these environments, there is often a high sand load in the river during a flood,
so any sensor actually in the river is likely to get destroyed, "says Liz
Stephens at the University of Reading, UK.
12．What advantage does the new buoy have
A．It is more easily operated. B．It is much greener.
C．It is more functional. D．It is lower-cost.
13．What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on
A．The inspiration of creating the buoy.
B．The practical applications of the buoy.
C．The design and working principle of the buoy.
D．The drawback and probable danger of the buoy.
14．Which word best describes Buytaert's attitude to the new buoy
A．Objective. B．Appreciative. C．Doubtful. D．Uncaring.
15．Which of the following is a potential problem of the new buoy
A．It works unstably. B．It breaks down easily.
C．It causes a high sand load. D．It gives unreliable test results.

We live in an age where we expect instant satisfaction from everything. Packages must be delivered within 24 hours and meals at a restaurant need to arrive within 30 minutes. 　16． 　The good news is that patience can be developed with time and practice. Here are some ways to help you become more patient.
　17． 　Take a slightly longer route on your walk home. Appreciate the smell of your food before having a meal you love. Practice things like word puzzles that will test your patience. By doing these small things, you'll develop your patience.
Knowing your triggers (诱因) will help you take better charge of a situation the next time you find yourself impatient. 　18． 　For example, maybe you grow impatient when you see a long line at your favorite coffee shop. You can choose another time to go when you know it'll be less busy.
Slowing things down when appropriate can help you build patience. Take some aspects in your life you can afford to slow down. For example， wait for your coffee to brew (冲泡) on a weekend morning. 　19． 　
Accept things that are out of your control. If you are stuck in a traffic jam, there's little you can do to get out of it. 　20． 　You can either observe the cars around you or play some music in your car.
A. Looking at things from another perspective.
B. Being more patient reduces your stress levels.
C. Enjoy such process occasionally rather than rush to do it.
D. Identify the things, places or people that make you impatient.

Lucy Marlow had everything an eleven-year-old girl could possibly want except one thing: a pair of pink leather roller skates (旱冰鞋). Unfortunately, the skates cost over $1, 700. Even though Lucy's parents were very indulgent (纵容的), they thought it was too much for a toy. "It's not a toy!" Lucy cried. "It's transportation!" Lucy's parents gave in and promised that she could have them only if she had straight A on her report card.
Soon at the end of the term, Lucy proudly presented her parents with the straight—A re-port card they'd demanded, and the next weekend, Lucy was whizzing (飞速行驶)around the neighborhood faster than anyone else with her new skates.
Then one day when Lucy went to school, she was surprised to discover there was a new girl in her class. She was sitting at the desk next to Lucy in geography and she looked very friendly.
"Hi! I'm Lucy, "Lucy whispered. "Want to go roller skating after school " "Hi! My name is Heather. But I'm afraid I can't!" Heather said.
"Listen, if you don't have skates, you can use my old ones, "Lucy said. "I have a brand new pair…"
The bell rang, Heather reached to pick up a pair of crutches (拐杖)under the desk and got up. Lucy was shocked to find one of her legs was missing above the knee. She gasped, "Oh, I'm so sorry! What happened " Heather shrugged, "It was a car accident."
That night, Lucy couldn't sleep. She got up and turned on her laptop. There were all kinds of prosthetic limbs (假肢)for kids. Lucy wondered why Heather didn't have one.
The next day, over lunch, Lucy asked Heather, "So, how come you don't have a prosthetic limb " Heather blushed. "I had one, three years ago, after the accident, "she explained. "But I outgrew it. My dad lost his job so we don't have insurance anymore. We've contacted a non-profit that helps kids like me, but I'm on a waiting list…"Hearing her words, Lucy fell into a short silence, remembering how she pressured her parents into buying her the pink skates.
注意：
1）续写词数应为150左右；
2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then looking at Heather, Lucy had an idea.
……
The next day, Lucy and her parents contacted the school principal.

【知识点】语法填空
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了被代代相传、保护下来的文化——辛巴人的神奇红色美容膏。
【点评】考查语法填空，本题考点涉及代词，名词，非谓语动词，冠词，时态语态，形容词，定语从句，介词，副词以及固定搭配等多个知识点的考查，要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，并结合相关语法知识，进行分析推理，从而写出正确的单词形式。
36．句意：然而，并不是所有的希望都没了，因为某些文化已经找到了保护历史的方法，通过口述传统、书面记录和代代相传的文化实践，例如，辛巴人的神奇红色美容膏Otjize。根据该空后的名词 ways可知，此处应该用形容词性物主代词来修饰该名词。故填their。
37．句意：然而，并不是所有的希望都没了，因为某些文化已经找到了保护历史的方法，通过口述传统、书面记录和代代相传的文化实践，例如，辛巴人的神奇红色美容膏Otjize。与空前traditions和空后的 practices保持一致，作介词through后的宾语。account意为“描述”，是可数名词，故此处应该用其复数形式。故填accounts。
38．句意：辛巴人在今天的纳米比亚北部，是一个非洲部落，大约有5万人。分析句子可知，空处是名词population的前置定语。estimate和被修饰词population是动宾关系，故此处应该用过去分词作定语，estimated也可以看作形容词化的过去分词，表示“估计的，预计的”。故填estimated。
39．句意：辛巴部落通常被认为是纳米比亚最后的游牧民族。根据下文中的last可知，此处应该用定冠词，the last表示“最后的”修饰名词people。故填the。
40．句意：辛巴妇女以红粘土的皮肤和头发而闻名，到目前为止，她们一直被描绘为非洲部落的象征形象。根据时间状语up to now可知，应填现在完成时，与and后的谓语（have been）described保持一致。动词 picture“想象，描绘”和主语the Himba women之间是被动关系，此处应该用现在完成时的被动语态。故填have been pictured。
41．句意：辛巴妇女使用的红色美容膏Otjize使她们的皮肤呈现独特的红色，这为她们赢得了“非洲红色人民”的称号。此处形容词作表语，be responsible for固定短语，“为……负责，是……的原因”。 故填responsible。
42．句意：辛巴妇女使用的红色美容膏Otjize使她们的皮肤呈现独特的红色，这为她们赢得了“非洲红色人民”的称号。 has earned them the name" Red People of Africa" 是非限制性定语从句，先行词是是前面的一句话（整个主句），在从句中作主语，用which引导该从句。故填which。
43．句意：Otjize由多种物质混合而成，为他们的皮肤提供了深红色，被认为是辛巴人理想的美丽标准。be regarded as…，固定短语，“被认为是……”。 故填as。
44．句意：事实上，Otjize通常对辛巴人有重要意义，代表着大地的红色、血液和生命的本质。根据下文中的动词 holds可知，此处应该用副词修饰动词。故填usually。
45．句意：事实上，Otjize通常对辛巴人有重要意义，代表着大地的红色、血液和生命的本质。分析句子结构可知，本句有谓语动词holds，所以空处填非谓语动词。stand和逻辑主语Ojize是主谓关系，故此处应该用现在分词，作伴随状语。故填standing。
46．【答案】How Can We Relieve Pressure

2022
Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards
A yearly contest for
the Wildlife Photographer of the Year was held in London this year. The contest
had 38, 575 entries from around the world. Let's have a scanning of four of
this year's best works.
The great prize this
year belonged to Karine Aigner of the US for an incredible shot of a ball of
bees. The "ball" was formed with a lot of male bees fighting to win a
single female bee. The picture was taken in southern Texas. Ms Aigner says that
soon after the picture was taken, a female bee flew off with one of the males.
Dmitry Kokh of Russia
won the award for Urban Wildlife. His picture of polar bears in an old house
was taken on an island in the Chukchi Sea, between Russia and Alaska. Mr Kokh
was on a boat when he noticed polar bears walking through an area where no one
had lived for years. To get the picture without disturbing the bears， he used a quiet drone (无人机)to take the
picture.
Fernando Constantino
Martinez Belmar of Mexico had to wait in the dark in a cave filled with bats
and snakes to get the image. Rat snakes in Yucatàn
hang from cracks in the ceiling of the cave, hoping to grab one of the many
bats that are flying out of the cave for the night. Using a red light that
wouldn't disturb the animals, Mr Martinez Belmar waited until just the right
moment to take the picture. He won the Amphibian and Reptile Behavior prize.
Nick Kanakis of the US
took the picture of a wood wren (鹧鸪) —a bird that spends most of its time on the ground. The bird has its
ear to the ground, listening for insects to catch and eat. After spotting a
bird looking for food farther away, he stayed very still to get the shot, which
won the prize for Bird Behavior.
1．Why do the bees develop a ball in Ms Aigner's picture
A．To protect them from being shot.
B．To struggle to get a female partner.
C．To fight with their common enemy.
D．To express their greetings to humans.
2．Which animals in the pictures are hunting other animals

2．考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“Rat snakes in Yucatàn hang from cracks in the ceiling of the cave, hoping to grab one of the many bats that are flying out of the cave for the night. ”Yucatàn的鼠蛇悬挂在洞穴天花板的裂缝上，希望抓住一只飞出洞穴过夜的蝙蝠；以及第五段中的“The bird has its ear to the ground, listening for insects to catch and eat. ”这只鸟把耳朵贴在地上，听着昆虫的动静，以便捕捉和食用。可知，鼠蛇和鸟正抓捕其他动物。故选C。
3．考查推理判断。根据第一段“A yearly contest for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year was held in London this year. The contest had 38,575 entries from around the world. Let's have a scanning of four of this year's best works. ”今年，一年一度的年度野生动物摄影师大赛在伦敦举行。比赛共有来自世界各地的38575份参赛作品。让我们浏览一下今年的四部最佳作品。可知，文章主要介绍了四张获奖的照片并讲述了它们背后的故事。故选B。

When I was a child, my
grandmother often said interpersonal communication mattered. She backed that up
with her own behavior, and she invested her time and energy in interacting with
people. When she walked down the street, she spoke to everyone, whether an
elderly or a child, speaking whether English or Spanish.
However, as she aged, she
noticed that most people wouldn't have time for communication that's longer
than a 160-character text message, much less time to develop genuine
friendships that last decades. In fact, people are barely speaking to one
another nowadays. As much as I hate to admit it, I have noticed it too.
My grandmother opened
my mind to having a pen pal on the other side of the world. It all started in
2013 when I was at University of Southern California. I met with Kerstin Zilm, a
German radio personality who wanted to interview me about being a student
struggling financially. I didn't know much about German culture or the German
audience who would listen to the show, but I agreed to do so. I had
internalized（使内在化）my grandmother's
concept and I felt this was another way of communication and that speaking
about my story was better than keeping it to myself. You never knew who could
learn from your life experiences.
After the story aired,
a woman named Renate reached out to Kerstin, inquiring how she could find me
and help me financially with college. I was grateful, but my pride didn't allow
me to accept the money.
However, I didn't let
the opening halt. Encouraged by Kerstin, I emailed Renate back, thanking her
for her kindness. This was the beginning of a beautiful intercontinental
friend-ship. From then on, Renate and I often emailed each other. And whenever
I was in trouble, she was always there. She sent me virtual hugs at the moments
when I needed them most. Though I have never met her in person, she is one of
the most important people in my life.
4．What do we know about the author's grandmother
A．She made lots of foreign friends.
B．She valued family relationships.
C．She liked to wander on the streets.
D．She kept bonding with other people.
5．What does the author think of the people today
A．They show little respect to the elderly.
B．They look forward to having a pen pal.
C．They have limited communication with others.
D．They like chatting through long text messages.
6．What made the author decide to accept the interview
A．Her grandmother's wisdom.
B．Her pen pal's encouragement.
C．Her poverty-stricken situation.
D．Her curiosity about German culture.
7．What does the underlined word "halt" in the last paragraph mean
A．Continue. B．Appear. C．Extend. D．Stop.
【答案】4．D
5．C
6．A
7．D
【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；细节理解题；人物故事类；记叙文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者的祖母十分重视人与人之间的交流。在她的影响下，作者成功地结识了一位笔友，并与其建立了深厚的友谊。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。
4．考查细节理解。根据第一段“When I was a child, my grandmother often said interpersonal communication mattered. She backed that up with her own behavior, and she invested her time and energy in interacting with people. When she walked down the street, she spoke to everyone, whether an elderly or a child, speaking whether English or Spanish.”当我还是个孩子的时候，我的祖母经常说人际交流很重要。她用自己的行为来支持这一点，她投入时间和精力与人互动。当她走在街上时，她和每个人说话，无论是老人还是孩子，说英语还是西班牙语。可知，作者的祖母总是与人保持着联系。故选D。
5．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“In fact, people are barely speaking to one another nowadays. As much as I hate to admit it, I have noticed it too.”事实上，现在人们几乎不互相说话了。尽管我不愿承认，但我也注意到了。可推断，人们之间的交流是有限的。故选C。
6．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“I had internalized(使内在化)my grandmother's concept and I felt this was another way of communication and that speaking about my story was better than keeping it to myself. ”我已经内化了祖母的观念，我觉得这是另一种交流方式，把我的故事说出来比憋在心里要好。可推断，是祖母的智慧影响着作者并且促使作者决定接受采访的。故选A。
7．考查词义猜测。根据第四段“After the story aired, a woman named Renate reached out to Kerstin, inquiring how she could find me and help me financially with college. I was grateful, but my pride didn't allow me to accept the money.”故事播出后，一个叫Renate的女人找到Kerstin，问她怎么能找到我，在经济上帮我上大学。我很感激，但我的自尊心不允许我接受这笔钱。可知，采访播出后，Renate想联系作者并打算给作者提供资助，但作者没有接受她的资助。结合表示转折意义的however可知，作者不想让这段（故事的）开场就此停止，于是作者给她回了邮件。由此可知，halt 意为“停止”。故选D。

Software expert James
Curran helped rewrite Australia's new curriculum (全部课程) for information technology subjects. He said the changes to the
current curriculum could stop teenagers avoiding computing and maths subjects
in high school. "Kids are naturally curious, but we don't set up the
curriculum in a way that awakens their curiosity so that they can learn the
things they want to, and the things they have to, "Curran said. "Teaching
maths and computing in a new way makes a very big difference. "
As more and more high
school students drop out of advanced maths subjects, Dr Curran warned that
computing subjects were in an even more difficult position than them. Only 1, 748
year-12 students enrolled (登记) in software
design and development in New South Wales last year—about
half the 3, 300 who studied the subject 10 years ago. Enrolments in information
technology have declined sharply, from 10, 000 in 2001 to just 1, 939 students
in 2021.
"Students are not
taking computing subjects at the senior level because the subject is a bit out
of date, "Curran said. "Computing is a subject that changes all the
time and needs to be changed every few years, so I would like to see a
continuous process of smaller changes and updates to it."
As schools struggle to
make students stick with the subjects of information technology, engineering
and maths, 1, 000 primary schools across Australia have signed up for a new
pro-gram to get young kids interested in high-tech jobs. The program uses
online lessons to show children as young as six the process of designing the
Olympics logo, and how Netflix collects information to decide which movies to
make.
11-year-old student
Mia Lucas had fun completing a model on UX design. It is the "user
experience" process that design teams use to create products. "I've
always been interested in creating a website or an app but didn't know the
first step in doing that," she said. "The pro-gram helps me a lot."
8．What is the new curriculum supposed to be according to Curran
A．Typical. B．Controversial. C．Appealing. D．Challenging.
9．What can we know about computing subjects in Australian schools
A．They are less popular with today's teenagers.
B．They are valued negatively by many schools.
C．They are harder than advanced maths subjects.
D．They are keeping a continuous rate of updating.
10．How does the new program encourage the students to take computing subjects
A．By offering high-tech jobs to them.
B．By turning lessons into virtual ones.
C．By letting them choose subjects freely.
D．By showing applications of the subjects.
11．What can be the best title for the text
A．Australian students are deserting the computing subjects
B．A new curriculum fails to work with Australian students
C．How did an Australian student fall in love with computing
D．Why did Australian schools stick with computing subjects
【答案】8．C
9．A
10．D
11．A

Many sensing systems
used in water have a problem: They rely on batteries that are often made from
unsustainable materials, so such batteries will need replacing at some point.
To look for a cleaner,
more long-lasting alternative, Zhonglin Wang at the Chinese Academy of Sciences，Beijing，and his colleagues have created a
self-charging buoy (浮标). It uses nanogenerators (纳米发电机) to gain power from the movement of waves.
The buoy consists of
an acrylic (丙烯酸的) ball about 10
centimeters across and four nanogenerators connected to a part that collects
the produced charge. As the water moves back and forth through the
nanogenerators, they generate around 24.5 milliwatts of power.
It is suggested that
the buoy could be used to check and monitor water levels for early flood
warning systems. However, there are already many effective and cheap
alternatives for this task, says Wouter Buytaert at Imperial College London. Non-contact
methods, such as lidar (激光雷达), are
probably more suitable for sensing water levels， he
explains.
"The new power
generation method could prove useful for situations in which non-contact
methods aren't workable, though, such as water quality sensing," Buytaert
says. "There have been devices similar to the buoys in measuring and
checking long-term water quality. But if such application is combined with the
function of power collecting shown here, it could be more promising, "Buytaert
says.
However, if used in rivers,
the buoy would possibly be damaged by rising or violently moving water, especially
if they are fixed at the rapids of the flood as an early warning system. "In
these environments, there is often a high sand load in the river during a flood,
so any sensor actually in the river is likely to get destroyed, "says Liz
Stephens at the University of Reading, UK.
12．What advantage does the new buoy have
A．It is more easily operated. B．It is much greener.
C．It is more functional. D．It is lower-cost.
13．What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on
A．The inspiration of creating the buoy.
B．The practical applications of the buoy.
C．The design and working principle of the buoy.
D．The drawback and probable danger of the buoy.
14．Which word best describes Buytaert's attitude to the new buoy
A．Objective. B．Appreciative. C．Doubtful. D．Uncaring.
15．Which of the following is a potential problem of the new buoy
A．It works unstably. B．It breaks down easily.
C．It causes a high sand load. D．It gives unreliable test results.
【答案】12．B
13．C
14．A
15．B
【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；段落大意题；科普环保类；说明文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，科学家发明了一种利用纳米发电机从海浪运动中获取能量，从而实现自动充电的新型的浮标，并介绍了它的设计、工作原理和功能，并客观分析了它的优势和局限性。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和段落大意三个题型的考查，是一篇科技类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
12．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“To look for a cleaner, more long-lasting alternative”为了寻找一种更清洁、更持久的替代品；以及“It uses nanogenerators(纳米发电机)to gain power from the movement of waves.”它使用纳米发电机从波浪的运动中获得能量。可知，这个新浮标更加洁净，同时它是利用海浪运动的能量实现自动充电，因而节约能源，更加环保。故选B。
13．考查段落大意。根据第三段中的“The buoy consists of an acrylic(丙烯酸的)ball about 10 centimeters across and four nanogenerators connected to a part that collects the produced charge. ”该浮标由一个直径约10厘米的丙烯酸球和四个连接到收集产生电荷的部分的纳米发电机组成。可知，这里主要描写浮标的设计；以及“As the water moves back and forth through the nanogenerators, they generate around 24.5 milliwatts of power.”当水在纳米发电机中来回流动时，它们会产生大约24.5毫瓦的电力。可知，这里主要描写浮标的工作原理；所以第三段主要描写的是浮标的设计和工作原理。故选C。
14．考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“It is suggested that the buoy could be used to check and monitor water levels for early flood warning systems. However, there are already many effective and cheap alternatives for this task”建议该浮标可用于检查和监测水位，用于早期洪水预警系统。然而，对于这项任务，已经有许多有效且廉价的替代方案。可知，Buytaert既肯定了新浮标可以用于水质检查和检测，又指出了有一些更好的替代方案的现状，是非常客观的。故选A。
15．考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“if used in rivers, the buoy would possibly be damaged by rising or violently moving water, ”如果在河流中使用，这种浮标可能会被上升或剧烈流动的水损坏。可知，这种新浮标很容易发生故障。故选B。

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了被代代相传、保护下来的文化——辛巴人的神奇红色美容膏。
【点评】考查语法填空，本题考点涉及代词，名词，非谓语动词，冠词，时态语态，形容词，定语从句，介词，副词以及固定搭配等多个知识点的考查，要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，并结合相关语法知识，进行分析推理，从而写出正确的单词形式。
36．句意：然而，并不是所有的希望都没了，因为某些文化已经找到了保护历史的方法，通过口述传统、书面记录和代代相传的文化实践，例如，辛巴人的神奇红色美容膏Otjize。根据该空后的名词 ways可知，此处应该用形容词性物主代词来修饰该名词。故填their。
37．句意：然而，并不是所有的希望都没了，因为某些文化已经找到了保护历史的方法，通过口述传统、书面记录和代代相传的文化实践，例如，辛巴人的神奇红色美容膏Otjize。与空前traditions和空后的 practices保持一致，作介词through后的宾语。account意为“描述”，是可数名词，故此处应该用其复数形式。故填accounts。
38．句意：辛巴人在今天的纳米比亚北部，是一个非洲部落，大约有5万人。分析句子可知，空处是名词population的前置定语。estimate和被修饰词population是动宾关系，故此处应该用过去分词作定语，estimated也可以看作形容词化的过去分词，表示“估计的，预计的”。故填estimated。
39．句意：辛巴部落通常被认为是纳米比亚最后的游牧民族。根据下文中的last可知，此处应该用定冠词，the last表示“最后的”修饰名词people。故填the。
40．句意：辛巴妇女以红粘土的皮肤和头发而闻名，到目前为止，她们一直被描绘为非洲部落的象征形象。根据时间状语up to now可知，应填现在完成时，与and后的谓语（have been）described保持一致。动词 picture“想象，描绘”和主语the Himba women之间是被动关系，此处应该用现在完成时的被动语态。故填have been pictured。
41．句意：辛巴妇女使用的红色美容膏Otjize使她们的皮肤呈现独特的红色，这为她们赢得了“非洲红色人民”的称号。此处形容词作表语，be responsible for固定短语，“为……负责，是……的原因”。 故填responsible。
42．句意：辛巴妇女使用的红色美容膏Otjize使她们的皮肤呈现独特的红色，这为她们赢得了“非洲红色人民”的称号。 has earned them the name" Red People of Africa" 是非限制性定语从句，先行词是是前面的一句话（整个主句），在从句中作主语，用which引导该从句。故填which。
43．句意：Otjize由多种物质混合而成，为他们的皮肤提供了深红色，被认为是辛巴人理想的美丽标准。be regarded as…，固定短语，“被认为是……”。 故填as。
44．句意：事实上，Otjize通常对辛巴人有重要意义，代表着大地的红色、血液和生命的本质。根据下文中的动词 holds可知，此处应该用副词修饰动词。故填usually。
45．句意：事实上，Otjize通常对辛巴人有重要意义，代表着大地的红色、血液和生命的本质。分析句子结构可知，本句有谓语动词holds，所以空处填非谓语动词。stand和逻辑主语Ojize是主谓关系，故此处应该用现在分词，作伴随状语。故填standing。

Lucy Marlow had everything an eleven-year-old girl could possibly want except one thing: a pair of pink leather roller skates (旱冰鞋). Unfortunately, the skates cost over $1, 700. Even though Lucy's parents were very indulgent (纵容的), they thought it was too much for a toy. "It's not a toy!" Lucy cried. "It's transportation!" Lucy's parents gave in and promised that she could have them only if she had straight A on her report card.
Soon at the end of the term, Lucy proudly presented her parents with the straight—A re-port card they'd demanded, and the next weekend, Lucy was whizzing (飞速行驶)around the neighborhood faster than anyone else with her new skates.
Then one day when Lucy went to school, she was surprised to discover there was a new girl in her class. She was sitting at the desk next to Lucy in geography and she looked very friendly.
"Hi! I'm Lucy, "Lucy whispered. "Want to go roller skating after school " "Hi! My name is Heather. But I'm afraid I can't!" Heather said.
"Listen, if you don't have skates, you can use my old ones, "Lucy said. "I have a brand new pair…"
The bell rang, Heather reached to pick up a pair of crutches (拐杖)under the desk and got up. Lucy was shocked to find one of her legs was missing above the knee. She gasped, "Oh, I'm so sorry! What happened " Heather shrugged, "It was a car accident."
That night, Lucy couldn't sleep. She got up and turned on her laptop. There were all kinds of prosthetic limbs (假肢)for kids. Lucy wondered why Heather didn't have one.
The next day, over lunch, Lucy asked Heather, "So, how come you don't have a prosthetic limb " Heather blushed. "I had one, three years ago, after the accident, "she explained. "But I outgrew it. My dad lost his job so we don't have insurance anymore. We've contacted a non-profit that helps kids like me, but I'm on a waiting list…"Hearing her words, Lucy fell into a short silence, remembering how she pressured her parents into buying her the pink skates.
注意：
1）续写词数应为150左右；
2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then looking at Heather, Lucy had an idea.
……
The next day, Lucy and her parents contacted the school principal.
【答案】 Then looking at Heather, Lucy had an idea. That night, she talked to her parents. "Mom, Dad, I want to sell my skates. "Her parents looked at each other with their jaw dropping. "But you begged for those skates for months. What's going on " Dad pointed out. Lucy gave a detailed description of the newcomer, Heather, including the facts that she doesn't have a leg and her family can't afford to buy her a prosthetic limb. As a result, she wanted to assist her to stand up. That night, they had a long talk and made an important decision.
The next day, Lucy and her parents contacted the school principal. Two days later came a piece of exciting news that the school promised to raise money for a new prosthetic limb for Heather. Lucy was more than delighted when she saw Heather walk into school on her amazing new leg a week later. Heather was wearing a big smile. She said, "Perhaps now I can join you in roller skate!"

【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知，在露西的要求下，露西的父母给她买了昂贵的旱冰鞋。班上来了新学生希瑟，露西邀请希瑟一起去滑旱冰，并承诺让希瑟用她的旧冰鞋，但露西发现希瑟失去了一条腿，感到很抱歉。露西了解到希瑟因为家里没钱无法安装新假肢，露西决定卖掉新冰鞋帮助希瑟安装新假肢。最后，在露西和学校的帮助下，希瑟装上了新假肢。露西的父母为露西的决定感到自豪。段落续写：①由第一段首句内容“然后看着希瑟，露西有了一个主意。”可知，第一段可描写露西和父母商量决定卖掉旱冰鞋帮助希瑟买假肢。②由第二段首句内容“第二天，露西和她的父母联系了校长。”可知，第二段可描写露西通过学校向希瑟提供帮助，帮希瑟装上了新假肢。露西的父母为露西的决定感到自豪。写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。
【点评】本书面表达要点齐全，上下文连贯，使用一定数量的句式结构，让句子更加生动丰满，同时运用了许多高级词汇和固定短语，提高文章的档次，体现了对英语的熟练的驾驭能力。例如：Dad pointed out.
