A
Longing for the most amazing places on the planet You can do no wrong with these lakes across the globe.
Five Flower Lake
Set in the striking karst landscape of the Jiuzhaigou Valley in Sichuan province, China, Five Flower Lake is extraordinarily clear, with visibility to a depth of 40 metres. Five Flower is one of a series of blue-, green-and sky-colored lakes blocked by rock falls, but it differs from the others as its waters change color, looking sometimes yellow, sometimes green, but usually diamond blue. In winter, Five Flower never freezes; in summer, it never dries up. Local wildlife living in the surrounding mountain forests include the rare giant panda and the golden snub-nose monkey.
Crater Lake
The deep-blue waters of Crater Lake in Oregon, US, fill the outlet of an ancient volcano that collapsed 7,700 years ago. Its strangest occupant is the “Old Man of the Lake”, a nine-metre-tall tree stump(树桩), which has stood upright in the water for more than a century. No rivers or streams enter the lake. Water loss in summer is compensated by winter snow and rain, the entire body of water being replaced every 250 years.
Lake Ohrid
Ancient Lake Ohrid has been around for about five million years and crosses the mountainous border between Macedonia and Albania. It has unique plants and wildlife, including the Ohrid “plashica”, a fish native to the lake, whose scales(鳞片) are used to make Ohrid pearls.
Lake Maggiore
Surrounded on three sides by the Lipontine Alps and touching the plain of Lombardy to the south, Lake Maggiore is Italy’s longest lake. Considered part of the country’s lake district, it is shared with Switzerland. Characterized by a Mediterranean-style climate, temperatures here are mild all year. This has given rise to some of northern Italy’s most wonderful gardens, which appear to float like flower-decked boats on the water.
1.What makes Five Flower Lake different from other lakes
A.Its agreeable climate. B.The rare local wildlife.
C.Its color-changing waters. D.The visibility of waters.
2.How does Crater Lake mainly get water supply

Not all heroes wear capes(斗篷) and Steve Montelongo proved the statement. While he doesn’t consider himself a hero, he has saved the lives of three people during the last two decades.
The 80-year-old man was in the right place at the right time, when he pulled a man out of his sinking car after he had accidentally driven into a river. Montelongo jumped to the man’s help without any hesitation(犹豫) or regard to his own health.
The accident happened while the elderly man was taking his granddaughter home after a dentist’s appointment. They had stopped at a traffic light when the girl saw the car fall into the river. Montelongo got out of his car to check out the scene and instantly noticed that water had begun rushing into the vehicle of the trapped driver. He walked into the river and managed to open the automobile’s back door, which fortunately was unlocked. As the water began to rush into the car faster, the 80-year-old managed to pull the 62-year-old Jack Swarts from the car by his shirt.
He later said in an interview—“I don’t consider myself a hero. I was just a man that got put in the right place at the right time”—words from a genuine modern-day good person.
This, however, wasn’t Montelongo’s only act of heroism. Nearly 20 years ago, he helped two of his neighbors get to safety as their house was caught in a fire. He was 62 years old at the time and had to kick open his neighbor’s front door to pull out 80-year-old Kathirne Mattox and 79-year-old Wayne Maxwell. During the rescue, Montelongo suffered chest pains and had to be hospitalized but made a quick recovery (恢复). He was awarded the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission medal for this bravery and act of heroism.
4.What does the underlined part in paragraph 1 mean
A.Heroes like special clothes. B.Everyone wants to be a hero.
C.Heroes deserve to be praised. D.Ordinary people can be heroes.
5.How did Montelongo save Jack Swarts
A.By managing to start the car. B.By pulling him out of the car.
C.By clearing the car of water. D.By giving him first aid treatment.
6.What can we infer about Montelongo from his words in the interview
A.He is modest. B.He is brave.
C.He is responsible. D.He is clever.
7.What can we learn from Montelongo’s story
A.A hero is a man of confidence.
B.Care is an important part of courage.
C.For what they ought to do, such a person is brave.
D.The most terrible enemy is the lack of strong faith.

Specialists(专家)say it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock” is what these specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. The specialists say that there are three stages of culture shock. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to get used to their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more.
There are some evident factors(因素)in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems—the telephones, post office, or transportation—may be difficult to work out. The simplest things seem to be the biggest problems. The language may be difficult.
Who feels culture shock Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their own country. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same positions as they have back home. They find themselves without any identify. They have to build a new self-image.
Culture shock gives rise to (使发生)a feeling of helplessness. This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a sense of security (安全). This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for a short time, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience—these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock.
8.When people move to a new country, they_______.
A.will get used to their new surroundings with difficulty
B.have well prepared for the new surroundings
C.will get used to the culture of the country quickly
D.will never be familiar with the culture of the country
9.According to the passage, factors that give rise to culture shock include all of the following except_______.
A.the language communication B.the weather conditions and customs
C.the public service systems D.the homesickness
10.According to the passage, the more successful you are at home,_______.
A.the fewer difficulties you may have abroad B.the more difficulties you may have abroad
C.the more money you will earn abroad D.the less homesick you may feel abroad
11.The writer tells us that the best way to overcome culture shock is to _______.
A.protect ourselves from unfamiliar environment B.develop a strange sense of self-protection
C.get familiar with new culture D.return to our own country
D
Twins may be more common today than at anytime in history. Researchers analyzed records from 165 countries and found a significant rise in twin birth rates since the 1980s, with one in 42 people now born a twin. According to the survey, the global twin birth rate has risen by one-third, on average, over the past 40 years.
“The trends are really quite striking,” said Christiaan Monden, a professor at Oxford University. “Over the past 40 years we’ve seen a strong increase in twinning rates in rich and developed countries. Globally, twinning rates have risen from nine to twelve per 1,000 births since the 1980s, but the picture varies from country to country. The greatest rises are seen in North America (71%), Europe (60%) and Asia (32%). In the UK, twinning rates rose about 62%. In the Oxford study, a decrease of more than 10% was found in only seven countries over the dates surveyed. “The absolute number of twin deliveries (分娩) has increased everywhere except South America,” Monden said. “In North America and Africa, the numbers have increased by more than 80%, and in Africa this increase is caused almost entirely by population growth.”
Raj Mathur, a doctor at St. Mary’s Hospital in Manchester, said, “It doesn’t surprise us that twinning rates have increased because the availability of assisted reproduction (生殖) has increased and also because women are slightly older when they have their first children, and both those things will increase the twinning rate.”
“The majority of twin babies are completely fine, but there is no doubt that a twin pregnancy (怀孕) carries greater risks for the mother and the baby. So when we can avoid it, we should avoid it. The principle we follow is simply summed up by the phrase ‘one at a time’,” Mathur said.
12.What do we know about the survey
A.It saw a world population growth. B.It lasted nearly fifty years.
C.It was the first research about twins. D.It was based on plenty of data.
13.Where can we hardly find the twinning rates rise
A.South America. B.Asia. C.Europe. D.Africa.
14.What can we infer from Mathur’s words
A.It’s dangerous to be with child. B.It’s wise to bring up a single baby.
C.It’s best to have one baby at a birth. D.It’s unavoidable to give birth to a twin.
15.What can be a suitable title for the passage
A.The Principle of Delivering Babies
B.More Twin Babies Than Ever Before
C.No Doubt About the Present Twinning Rates
D.A Great Breakthrough in Human Reproduction

When I was twelve, my parents let me babysit for Mr. and Mrs. Joseph who lived down the street with their two little preschool girls.

One day she asked if I could stay with her daughters in the evening, promising she and her husband would be home by ten p. m. After pleaded with (恳求) them, desperate to earn fifty cents an hour for six hours—three whole dollars!—my parents agreed.

We played hide-and-seek, did some finger painting together, and I fixed them scrambled eggs (炒鸡蛋) and toast soldiers for dinner. Then, at about eight p, m., I gathered the two kids beside me on the sofa and began to read them a story.
I heard a soft click, as if the front door had been opened, and I stopped. “Go on,” said Melanie, the four-year-old. “Keep reading.” “Wait.” I put my finger to my lips, “I thought I heard someone come in.” I heard the click again, and the lamp beside me switched on. All three of us jumped. Then the drapes (帘子) closed across the big window.
I screamed, put a little girl under each of my arms, and ran upstairs to the bathroom. As I locked the door behind us, I heard music begin to play from a radio somewhere downstairs. The girls clutched (紧紧抱住) each other in fear as I calmed them down, saying, “There's a bad man in the house. You have to be perfectly quiet. ”
The three of us sat on the floor, ears pressed to the wooden door ... listening. Even two-year-old Tricia was very quiet. For two hours we listened to the music playing, but we never heard another sound. No footsteps, no creaking (嘎吱作响的) doors, or breaking of china. Definitely no one walking up the stairs.

21.考查名词词义辨析。句意:令小男孩失望的是,妈妈说她愿意去。A. enjoyment乐趣,享受;B. disappointment失望,沮丧,扫兴;C. surprise惊讶,惊喜;D. sorrow悲伤。根据后文“Although she was a beautiful woman, there was a severe scar that ____3___ nearly the entire right side of her face.(虽然母亲非常漂亮,但她整个右脸几乎……有一块严重的伤疤)”可知,尽管妈妈很漂亮,但是妈妈的脸上有一道疤痕,因此可知,他应是不想让妈妈参加家长会的,而妈妈答应去参加,这令他感到失望和沮丧。故选B项。
22.考查形容词词义辨析。句意:这将是他的同学和老师第一次见到他的母亲,他为她的外表感到尴尬。A. sick生病的;B. ashamed羞愧的,尴尬的;C. afraid担心的;D. tired疲倦的。根据后文可知妈妈的脸上有一道疤痕,该空与后文“but the little boy was still embarrassed(但是小男孩还是很尴尬)”中“embarrassed”相呼应,此空应是B项“ashamed(羞愧的,尴尬的)”。故选B项。
23.考查动词词义辨析。句意:虽然母亲非常漂亮,但她整个右脸几乎被一块严重的伤疤覆盖了。A. included包含,包括;B. passed通过;C. covered覆盖,遮盖;D. shaded给……遮挡(光线)。根据后文老师的提问“How did you get the scar on your face (您脸上的伤疤是怎么来的?)”可知,伤疤在妈妈的脸上,覆盖了半边脸。故选C项。
24.考查动词短语辨析。句意:小男孩从来不想谈论她为什么或如何得到这个伤疤。A. talk about谈论;B. think about考虑,思考;C. care about关心,在乎;D. bring about引起,导致。根据后文小男孩得知妈妈脸上伤疤的来历的反应“At this point, the little boy came out running toward his mother with tears in his eyes.(听到这里,小男孩走了出来,满含热泪奔向妈妈,拥抱着她)”可知,他应是在这次家长会之前从不知道伤疤的来历,没有和妈妈谈论过。故选A项。
25.考查动词词义辨析。句意:在会上,尽管有伤疤,人们还是被他母亲的善良和自然美所打动,但小男孩仍然很尴尬,躲藏了自己不让大家找到。A. impressed给……留下深刻的好印象;B. shocked使……震惊;C. excited使激动兴奋;D. comforted安慰。根据后文“by the kindness and natural beauty of his mother(被他母亲的善良和自然之美)”可知,妈妈的善良和自然美给家长会的人们留下了深刻的印象。故选A项。

30.考查名词辨析。句意:因为火势失控,大家太害怕而都不敢进去,所以我就进去了。A. control控制;B. order顺序,命令;C. danger危险;D. focus焦点。根据后文“As I was running toward his bed, I saw a piece of wood coming down(当我跑向他的床时,我看到一块木头掉了下来)”提及有木头因着火掉下来,火势应该很大,失去控制。out of control“失去控制”。故选A项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍英国著名诗人艾略特的生平与成就。
【详解】1. 考查非谓语动词。句意:托马斯·斯特尔那斯·艾略特被认为是二十世纪最具影响力的诗人之一。be thought to be...意为“被认为是……”。此处动词不定式to be作宾语。故填to be。
2. 考查非谓语动词。句意:他成年后的大部分时间都在英国伦敦度过,1928年成为了英国公民。设空处作状语,又因为he与spend之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,且spend所表示的动作发生在主句谓语动作之前,故填Having spent。
3. 考查动词的时态。句意:他成年后的大部分时间都在英国伦敦度过,1928年成为了英国公民。由下文的时间状语in 1928可知,设空处是对过去事实的描述,则时态应用一般过去时,用动词过去式became。故填became。
4. 考查非谓语动词。句意:他为孩子写的其中一本书名为《老负鼠的群猫英雄谱》。books后的成分是后置定语,又因为write与books之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,且write所表示的动作已完成,所以此处应用过去分词written,故填written。
5. 考查名词单复数。句意:安德鲁·劳埃德·韦伯的音乐剧《猫》里面的歌曲正是基于书中的诗而创作的。由该句中的are可知,此处不只一首歌,所以应填名词复数形式songs。故填songs。
6. 考查介词。句意:安德鲁·劳埃德·韦伯的音乐剧《猫》里面的歌曲正是基于书中的诗而创作的。be based on/upon是固定搭配,意为“以……为基础”。故填on或upon。
7. 考查代词。句意:他的朋友,另一位现代诗人埃兹拉·庞德帮助他完成了这首诗。分析句子结构,设空处作helped的宾语,所以应填宾格him。故填him。
8. 考查形容词。句意:他的诗《普鲁弗洛克的情歌》及诗剧《大教堂谋杀案》均十分成功。分析句子结构,设空处应填形容词successful作表语,意为“成功的”。故填successful。
9. 考查定语从句。句意:他曾在英国的一家银行工作,后来担任伦敦一家著名出版公司的总编辑,该公司现在名为费伯与费伯出版社。设空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词company,是物,且在从句中作主语,所以可用关系代词that或which。故填that或which。
10. 考查固定短语。句意:1948年,60岁的他获得了诺贝尔文学奖。at the age of...是固定搭配,意为“在……岁时”。故填the。

47.One possible version:
Then the front door opened with a bang and we all jumped. Both girls leaped into my arms and the three of us trembled until we heard Mrs. Joseph call, “Peggy Where are you ” Melanie and Tricia and I burst out of the bathroom and ran downstairs. The girls threw themselves against their astonished parents' legs, talking about “bad men in the house.” In the middle of my explanation, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph exchanged a look and began laughing.
Mr. Joseph explained he had bought a smart home device. It could close the electric drapes and turn on a light and a radio at sunset on nights when they went out. “I guess I just switched it on automatically when we left tonight. In all honesty, I don't even remember doing it,”he explained Mr. Joseph walked me to my house. He apologized and handed me not just three dollars, but five. “Good night,” I said as he turned to walk home, “and thanks.” Now I was so happy. I not only made more money, but experienced a smart home in person.
【导语】本文讲述了作者在12岁时为邻居的两个小女孩做临时保姆的经历。一天晚上,作者听到了奇怪的声音,以为有坏人进了屋子,于是带着两个女孩躲进了浴室。经过两个小时的紧张等待,最后发现原来是主人Joseph购买的智能家居设备自动开启了。最后,邻居道歉并给了作者比原定报酬更多的钱。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“前门砰的一声开了,我们都跳了起来。”可知,第一段可描写孩子们之后的反应以及作者下楼寻找声音的过程,同时可以描写Joseph夫妇进屋对状况的询问。
②由第二段首句内容“Joseph先生解释说,他买了一个智能家居设备。”可知,第二段可描写Joseph先生解释事实的真相,并因为因为作者的负责和勇敢而对作者做出奖励。
2.续写线索:听到奇怪声音——女孩害怕——作者下楼寻找声音——Joseph先生解释真相——赞扬并奖励作者——最终感悟
