Welcome to MACHU PICCHU!
Often considered as "The Lost City of the Incas", Machu Picchu is probably the most familiar symbol of the Inca Empire (印加帝国) . It was built around the year 1450, but abandoned a hundred years later, at the time of the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire. Forgotten for centuries, the site was brought to worldwide attention in 1911 by Hiram Bingham, an American historian. Since then, Machu Picchu has become an important tourist attraction. It was announced a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983. It is also one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. But it has recently come to light that the site may have been discovered and robbed secretly as early as in 1867 by a German businessman, Augusto Berns.
About 7,000 feet above sea level and located on a small hilltop between the Andean mountain range, the majestic city rises above the Urabamba Valley below. Separated into three areas—farming areas, urban areas, and religious areas—the structures are arranged so that the function of the buildings matches the forms of their surroundings. The agricultural terracing and ditches (梯田和沟渠 ) take advantage of the natural slopes; the lower areas contain buildings occupied by farmers and teachers, and the most important religious areas are located at the crest of the hill, overlooking the fresh green Urabamba Valley thousands of feet below.
Hikers, tourists, and the early explorers describe similar emotions as they climb their way through the Inca Trail. Many call the experience magical and say the area creates a wonderful green paradise, making it a must for anyone who travels to Peru.
1.What can we learn about Augusto Berns from the passage
A.He reported his finding to the government in time.
B.He was the first one who discovered the ruins of Machu Picchu.
C.He helped make Machu Picchu a UNESCO World Heritage site.
D.He worked together with Bingham on the research into Machu Picchu.

A.After Hiram Bingham found the ruins.
B.After Spanish conquered the Inca Empire.
C.After it was named a UNESCO World Heritage site.
D.After Augusto Berns' work became known to the public.

In many developed nations, environmental groups challenge the view that water from a bottle is healthier than that from a tap (水龙头).
The Natural Resources Defense Council, which carried out a four-year review of the bottled water industry, concluded "there is no guarantee (保证) that just because water comes out of a bottle, it is any cleaner or safer than water from the tap".
The New York City-based action group added that about 25 percent of bottled water is "really just tap water in a bottle — sometimes treated, sometimes not".
In Great Britain the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management recently published a report questioning the quality of bottled water. "Making bottled water where there already exists a healthy and safe supply of drinking water cannot be seen as a sustainable (可持续的) use of natural resources," said Nick Reeves, the institution's executive director.
He said the view that bottled water is purer than tap water is unfounded.
"For example," he said, "the high mineral content of some bottled water makes it unsuitable for babies and young children."
But the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) points out that bottled water is fully controlled by government agencies, such as the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, and is guaranteed to be safe to drink.
Meanwhile, in many developing countries, tap water is either unavailable or unsafe, making bottled water a better choice. Even when bottled water is safer to drink, campaigners say that the packaging(包装) is threatening environmental health.
Worldwide some 2.7 million tons of plastic are used to bottle water each year, and about 86 percent of plastic water bottles in the U. S. become garbage, which does a lot of damage to the environment, according to the Container Recycling Institute in Washington D. C.
To help reduce environmental harm from plastic, some companies are adopting a more eco-friendly bottling choice.
1.What can we learn from the passage
A.Environmental groups think that people should drink more bottled water.
B.Bottled water is cleaner and safer to drink than tap water because it comes from a bottle.
C.Environmental groups doubt if water from a bottle is healthier than that from a tap.
D.The Natural Resources Defense Council advised people to drink tap water.
2.The underlined word "purer" in the fifth paragraph probably means "________".
A.more expensive B.more eco-friendly C.more reliable D.more natural
3.According to the passage, what is the disadvantage of bottled water
A.The bottles are made of plastic.
B.Water safety can't be controlled.
C.It can only be used in developing countries.
D.Few plastic bottles are not recycled.
4.What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows
A.The future of bottled water.
B.How to make bottled water safer.
C.How to make the most of tap water.
D.An environmentally friendly way to bottle water.

When I was about 4 years old, I decided to go to Disney World. For most young kids, it's a normal request, but I had cerebral palsy (脑瘫).Walking into anywhere, let alone a crowded place like Disney World was, to put it lightly, a tall order. Luckily, I had people in my comer to help me. Over the next three years, I worked with physical doctors, acquired a walker, and practiced walking, standing, and balance—all skills that I would need to turn my goal into a reality.
I remember the feeling when my legs would protest doing any more work. Despite this, everyone else told me I could do it, so I kept it up. It was all because of people like my parents, brothers, teachers, and doctors that I was able to grow so much, both physically and mentally. Constantly they pushed me to "walk on", yet encouraged me whenever I needed it.
On June 9, 2008, as I stood in the tunnel leading into Main Street, my dad asked me if I wanted any help. I instantly replied "No!" and situated myself facing the end of the tunnel, feet planted firmly, heart most likely beating out of my chest. Then I went, walking ever so slowly at first, then gradually speeding up. Step, step, step, step, bump. Holding fast onto the handlebars, I gathered up all my strength, picked up my walker and straightened out, picking up my pace once again. It wasn't too long before the cheering increased because I had made it to the end, where my mom was waiting with tears in her eyes and arms open wide ready to hug her son and tell him how proud she was.
Looking back on that experience, I realize something pretty thoughtful. Every once in a while, life will throw a few bumps in the road. Though it may set you back for a bit, don't let it stop you. Pick yourself back up and finish. It's worth it. Besides, there just might be someone there cheering you on along the way.
1.Which of the following best explains "a tall order" underlined in Paragraph 1
A.An easy decision.
B.An available action.
C.A reasonable order.
D.A challenging task.
2.Why does the author say he's lucky
A.He eventually has his brain disease well cured.
B.He constantly gets courage and support from others.
C.He is likely to do any kind of work in his later life.
D.He is naturally gifted in keeping balance on his own.
3.The author gives a vivid picture of himself in Paragraph 3 to _______.
A.explain he was terrified to take the first step
B.describe he took pride in his mother and friends
C.show how he managed to walk by himself
D.prove how he understood to respect others
4.What can be the best title of the text
A.Where Dreams Come True B.When Bad Fortune Falls
C.How I Value Friendship D.Why I Look Back My Life
D
The history of the modern train industry started with the appearance of the first steam engines, which enabled the human race for the first time to transport goods and people using a fast, reliable and cheap way. With the initial (最初的) great expansion of railways and locomotive (机车) designs, countless inventors focused their careers on improving trains and enabling goods and people to be transported much more safely and faster than ever before. But all those trains had to start from one point, and that point was steam engines.
Steam engines were introduced to the public during the 1770s, but their Scottish inventor James Watt sat on the patent(专利证书) and did not allow anyone to gain any commercial benefit from his designs. When his patent expired in the 1800s, gates of innovation opened all around the world and many inventors jumped to the opportunity to create their own vision of locomotives powered by steam. Richard Trevithick was the first one who took this chance, and showed to the world his innovative design of high-pressure steam engines that enabled him to create much more power from the locomotive of the same weight and size than before. Even though nobody believed that steam can deliver enough power for industrial use, he managed to show his design to a mine owner by pulling the weight of 10 tons over his 10-mile-long course. Even though his initial train design was not successful, he continued to innovate, even managing to publicly show his "Catch Me Who Can" locomotive.
Much more success today is owned to English inventor Matthew Murray who in 1804 created the first moving steam locomotive, and the more famous Salamanca locomotive that was used publicly in 1812. However he was not the inventor who designed the steam locomotive that was used on the first public railway system. That honor went to George Stephenson, the famous English engineer who created "Locomotion" in 1825.
Today, steam locomotives are mostly used in museums as windows to the past, but sometimes preserved and working models are used as tourist attractions enabling anyone to feel for themselves how the train industry began.
1.What does the underlined word in the second paragraph mean
A.To come to an end. B.To begin taking effect.
C.To be agreed. D.To be protected.
2.Which of the following can best describe Richard Trevithick
A.Stubborn and crazy. B.Easy-going and rich.
C.Creative and determined. D.Caring and loving.
3.What would be the best title of the text
A.Interesting Facts about Trains B.Modern Subway Transport Systems
C.History of Rapid Transit D.History of the Steam Locomotive

第二节 （满分25分）
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
At sixty degrees below zero, Harry walked down the trail on a cold, gray day. Pure white snow and ice covered the earth for as far as he could see. This was his first winter in Alaska. He was wearing heavy clothes and fur boots, but he still felt cold and uncomfortable.
Harry was on his way to a camp near Henderson Creek where his friends were waiting. He expected to reach Henderson Creek by six o'clock that evening. It would be dark by then. He was refreshed when he realized his friends would have a fire and hot food ready for him. To make things better, there was a dog accompanying him on the journey.
The dog loved its owner but did not like the extreme cold. It knew the weather was too cold to travel. In spite of this bad situation, Harry with the dog continued to walk down the trail. He came to a frozen stream called Indian Creek. He began to walk on the snow-covered ice. It was a trail that would lead him straight to his friends.
As he walked, Harry looked carefully at the ice in front of him. Once, he stopped suddenly, and then walked around a part of the frozen stream. He saw an underground spring flowing under the ice at that spot. It made the ice thin. If he stepped there, he might break through the ice into a pool of water. To get his boots wet in such cold weather might kill him. His feet would turn to ice quickly and he would freeze to death.
At about twelve o'clock, Harry decided to stop to eat his lunch. He took off the glove on his right hand, opened his jacket and pulled out his food, which took less than twenty seconds. Yet, his fingers began to freeze.
Harry hit his hand against his leg several times until he felt a sharp pain. Then he quickly put his glove on his hand. He made a fire, beginning with small pieces of wood and adding larger ones. He sat on a snow-covered log and ate his lunch, enjoying the warm fire for a few minutes. Then he stood up and started walking on the frozen stream again.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
Several minutes later, the ice broke suddenly and Harry's feet sank into the water.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
What's worse, his dog ran away and the fear of death came over Harry.

答案以及解析
第一部分 阅读理解
第一节
A
答案：1-3 BAD
解析：1.细节理解题.由第一段段末的 "But it has recently come to light that the site may have been discovered and robbed secretly as early as in 1867 by a German businessman, Augusto Berns." 可以得出答案.
2.细节理解题.由第一段中的 "…the site was brought to worldwide attention in 1911 by Hiram Bingham, an American historian. Since then, Machu Picchu has become an important tourist attraction." 可以得出答案.
3.词义猜测题.由后文的overlooking可以看出,宗教区位于山顶.故选D.
B
答案：1-4.CCAD
解析：1.考查细节理解。根据文章第一段内容可知A项错误,C项正确;根据文章第二可知B项错误;自然资源保护委员会并没有建议人们喝自来水,所以D项错误。
2.考查词义猜测。根据第六段内容可知,Nick Reeves举了一个例子来论证上文观点,认为瓶装水并不比自来水更可靠(more reliable)。故选C。
3.考查推理判断。根据文章倒数第二段内容可知,在美国,大约86%的瓶装水的塑料包装变成了垃圾。最后一段又提到为了减少塑料带来的危害,要选择其他更环保的包装方法,故可推知瓶装水的缺点就是包装的问题。故选A。
4.考查推理判断。根据文章最后一段中的"一些公司正在采用一种更加环保的包装方法"可以推测,下文可能会具体介绍这样的包装方法。
C
答案：(1)-(4)DBCA
解析：(1).词义猜测题。由语境可知,作者患有脑瘫,所以对他来说行走着实不易。故D项符合语境。
(2).细节理解题。根据第一段倒数第二句"Luckily, I had people in my corner to help me."可知,作者身边的人都在支持和帮助他,因此他感到很幸运。
(3).推理判断题。第三段详细描述了作者学习独立行走的艰难过程,故选C项。
(4).主旨大意题。作者通过介绍自己战胜困难的经历,鼓励我们直面困难,成就梦想,故A项可作为本文的标题。
D
答案：1-3.ACD
解析：1.考查词义猜测。结合画线词前的"James Watt sat on the patent(专利证书) and did not allow anyone to gain any commercial benefit from his designs"和画线词后的"gates of innovation opened all around the world"可知,开始时瓦特持有专利,不允许任何人用它获取商业利益,后来应该是专利到期了,由此才打开了发明的大门。故选A项。
2.考查推理判断。由第二段中的"Richard Trevithick was the first one who took this chance, and showed to the world his innovative design of high-pressure steam engines"以及"Even though his initial train design was not successful, he continued to innovate"可知,Richard Trevithick富有创新精神且坚定不移。
3.考查主旨大意。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了蒸汽机车的发展史,故答案为D。
第二节
答案：①-⑤ FDCAG
解析：①根据小标题和关键词cashback和the commission可知某些网站会将其本来会拿到的回扣返现给你,根据空后句It may not seem much, but over a week that could end up being close to $100.可知每次返现并不多,故F项合理。
②根据空前句Cashback websites also work with car hire, travel insurance companies, and hundreds of other travel companies.可知这些订票网站还和租车、旅行保险公司等合作,这些公司也会返现,所以这些钱加在一起就是很大一笔,故选择D项。
③根据小标题以及空后的many pet owners offer their house to travelers in exchange for pet sitting可知很多房主以照顾宠物作为交换提供给游客住房,所以C符合逻辑。此外本题空后是逗号,句子并无连词,因此应选择不是整句的选项,那么只有C和E两项满足这个条件,而E项意思与本段相差甚远,故选择C项。
④此空考查小标题,选项中只有A项和B项为祈使句,与其他小标题格式相同,根据本段高频词local 和第一句World traveler Brian Corsetti says an often overlooked way to save money is to strike up a conversation with a local.可知作者建议结识当地人,故A项正确。
⑤由空后句中的Instead of going to a restaurant, you stop by the home of a local... into how the locals really live and eat.可知此处作者建议不要去饭店而要去当地人家里吃饭故可知作者建议游客通过EatWith进行一次独特的国外之旅,这样既节省开支又可以体验当地人的饮食方式,故选择G项。
第二部分 语言知识运用
第一节
答案：1-5 BADCB 6-10 BCDAB 11-15 CDABC
解析：1.车祸六个月后作者终于回家了, 但根据下文内容可知, 作者瘫痪了, 生活不能自理, 所以此处表示转折, 故选B。
2.前面提到作者出了车祸, 根据下文中的"unable to use a phone, feed or bathe myself"并结合常识可知, 生活与以往不同了。故选A。

6.联系上下文可知, 作者除了接受现实外别无选择。故选B。
7.根据下文中的"Small victories are huge and important leaps"可知, 此处表示我们习以为常的小事往往是最重要的。空处与important对应, matter(事关紧要, 要紧, 有重大影响)符合文意, 故选C。
8.此处表示在过去的几年里, 作者的康复取得了进展。下文中的"I 10 hard in my recovery and still do to this day."也是信息提示。故选D。

第二节
答案：①confused②which③broke④in⑤shortened⑥defense/defence⑦a⑧dating⑨to find⑩but
解析：①考查形容词。sb. be confused about...意为“某人对……感到困惑”,应用形容词confused。
②考查定语从句的引导词。设空处无提示词,且前面有逗号,此处指在19世纪,爱尔兰王国加入,这形成了大不列颠及爱尔兰联合王国,由此推断设空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰的先行词就是前面整个主句的内容,故填which。
③考查动词的时态。设空处在句中作谓语,由时间状语In the 20th century可知应用一般过去时。故填broke。
④考查介词。根据语境可知此处指“导致”。result in意为“导致”,符合语境。故填in。
⑤考查过去分词。设空处修饰其后名词name,和name之间为被动关系,应用过去分词shortened。shortened name意为“简称”。
⑥考查名词。设空处作动词share的宾语,且其前有形容词military修饰,故填名词defense或defence。
⑦考查冠词。此处指伦敦是一个极好的地方,表示泛指,且wonderful以辅音音素开头。故填a。
⑧考查现在分词。此处指它有一个可以一直追溯到罗马时代的历史,history后面是后置定语,用来修饰history, date back to与history之间是主动关系,所以填现在分词dating。
⑨考查动词不定式。此处是“主语+be+adj.(表示心理活动的词)+to do sth.”的结构。故填to find。
⑩考查连词。not only...but(also)...意为“不但……而且……”,其中also可以省略。故填but。
第三节
答案：
Dear manager,
I have been thoroughly impressed with the service I have received.
Firstly, I would like to express my sincere thanks to John, the tour guide from Green River Travel Agency, for his warm service along the journey. John is good at explaining things on the timetable, as well as some related information about the places that we went to. Secondly, the schedule for our one-day journey was thoughtfully arranged so that both my parents and I had a really wonderful time. We a arrived at the destinations and saw the sights at a reasonable amount of time with great comfort. Besides, some annoying parts like forced-shopping were avoided, which saved much of our time. Last but not least, I would like to recommend Green River Travel Agency to my friends. It is with your great efforts that my parents and I can enjoy such a great day!
Thanks again.
Yours,
Li Hua
答案：
Paragraph 1:
Several minutes later, the ice broke suddenly and Harry's feet sank into the water. It was not deep, but his legs got wet to the knees. Harry was so upset that the accident would delay his schedule. He had to find some firewood to build a fire to dry his clothes. He pulled off his gloves, took out his matches, and lighted the fire. Seeing the burning fire, he had thought he was safe. But suddenly, without warning, a heavy mass of snow dropped down. The flame of hope was put out.
Paragraph 2:
What's worse, his dog ran away and the fear of death came over Harry. He had no choice but to run to save himself. However, he did not feel his feet when they hit the ground. Having fallen several times, he decided to rest a while. As he lay in the snow, he noticed he was not shaking. He could not feel his nose or fingers or feet. A feeling of horror came into his mind. It was when he realized he was going to die that he heard a bark and the noise his friends made.

Welcome to MACHU PICCHU!
Often considered as "The Lost City of the Incas", Machu Picchu is probably the most familiar symbol of the Inca Empire (印加帝国) . It was built around the year 1450, but abandoned a hundred years later, at the time of the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire. Forgotten for centuries, the site was brought to worldwide attention in 1911 by Hiram Bingham, an American historian. Since then, Machu Picchu has become an important tourist attraction. It was announced a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983. It is also one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. But it has recently come to light that the site may have been discovered and robbed secretly as early as in 1867 by a German businessman, Augusto Berns.
About 7,000 feet above sea level and located on a small hilltop between the Andean mountain range, the majestic city rises above the Urabamba Valley below. Separated into three areas—farming areas, urban areas, and religious areas—the structures are arranged so that the function of the buildings matches the forms of their surroundings. The agricultural terracing and ditches (梯田和沟渠 ) take advantage of the natural slopes; the lower areas contain buildings occupied by farmers and teachers, and the most important religious areas are located at the crest of the hill, overlooking the fresh green Urabamba Valley thousands of feet below.
Hikers, tourists, and the early explorers describe similar emotions as they climb their way through the Inca Trail. Many call the experience magical and say the area creates a wonderful green paradise, making it a must for anyone who travels to Peru.

In many developed nations, environmental groups challenge the view that water from a bottle is healthier than that from a tap (水龙头).
The Natural Resources Defense Council, which carried out a four-year review of the bottled water industry, concluded "there is no guarantee (保证) that just because water comes out of a bottle, it is any cleaner or safer than water from the tap".
The New York City-based action group added that about 25 percent of bottled water is "really just tap water in a bottle — sometimes treated, sometimes not".
In Great Britain the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management recently published a report questioning the quality of bottled water. "Making bottled water where there already exists a healthy and safe supply of drinking water cannot be seen as a sustainable (可持续的) use of natural resources," said Nick Reeves, the institution's executive director.
He said the view that bottled water is purer than tap water is unfounded.
"For example," he said, "the high mineral content of some bottled water makes it unsuitable for babies and young children."
But the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) points out that bottled water is fully controlled by government agencies, such as the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, and is guaranteed to be safe to drink.
Meanwhile, in many developing countries, tap water is either unavailable or unsafe, making bottled water a better choice. Even when bottled water is safer to drink, campaigners say that the packaging(包装) is threatening environmental health.
Worldwide some 2.7 million tons of plastic are used to bottle water each year, and about 86 percent of plastic water bottles in the U. S. become garbage, which does a lot of damage to the environment, according to the Container Recycling Institute in Washington D. C.
To help reduce environmental harm from plastic, some companies are adopting a more eco-friendly bottling choice.
1.What can we learn from the passage
A.Environmental groups think that people should drink more bottled water.
B.Bottled water is cleaner and safer to drink than tap water because it comes from a bottle.
C.Environmental groups doubt if water from a bottle is healthier than that from a tap.
D.The Natural Resources Defense Council advised people to drink tap water.
2.The underlined word "purer" in the fifth paragraph probably means "________".
A.more expensive B.more eco-friendly C.more reliable D.more natural
3.According to the passage, what is the disadvantage of bottled water
A.The bottles are made of plastic.
B.Water safety can't be controlled.
C.It can only be used in developing countries.
D.Few plastic bottles are not recycled.
4.What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows
A.The future of bottled water.
B.How to make bottled water safer.
C.How to make the most of tap water.
D.An environmentally friendly way to bottle water.

When I was about 4 years old, I decided to go to Disney World. For most young kids, it's a normal request, but I had cerebral palsy (脑瘫).Walking into anywhere, let alone a crowded place like Disney World was, to put it lightly, a tall order. Luckily, I had people in my comer to help me. Over the next three years, I worked with physical doctors, acquired a walker, and practiced walking, standing, and balance—all skills that I would need to turn my goal into a reality.
I remember the feeling when my legs would protest doing any more work. Despite this, everyone else told me I could do it, so I kept it up. It was all because of people like my parents, brothers, teachers, and doctors that I was able to grow so much, both physically and mentally. Constantly they pushed me to "walk on", yet encouraged me whenever I needed it.
On June 9, 2008, as I stood in the tunnel leading into Main Street, my dad asked me if I wanted any help. I instantly replied "No!" and situated myself facing the end of the tunnel, feet planted firmly, heart most likely beating out of my chest. Then I went, walking ever so slowly at first, then gradually speeding up. Step, step, step, step, bump. Holding fast onto the handlebars, I gathered up all my strength, picked up my walker and straightened out, picking up my pace once again. It wasn't too long before the cheering increased because I had made it to the end, where my mom was waiting with tears in her eyes and arms open wide ready to hug her son and tell him how proud she was.
Looking back on that experience, I realize something pretty thoughtful. Every once in a while, life will throw a few bumps in the road. Though it may set you back for a bit, don't let it stop you. Pick yourself back up and finish. It's worth it. Besides, there just might be someone there cheering you on along the way.
1.Which of the following best explains "a tall order" underlined in Paragraph 1
A.An easy decision.
B.An available action.
C.A reasonable order.
D.A challenging task.
2.Why does the author say he's lucky
A.He eventually has his brain disease well cured.
B.He constantly gets courage and support from others.
C.He is likely to do any kind of work in his later life.
D.He is naturally gifted in keeping balance on his own.
3.The author gives a vivid picture of himself in Paragraph 3 to _______.
A.explain he was terrified to take the first step
B.describe he took pride in his mother and friends
C.show how he managed to walk by himself
D.prove how he understood to respect others
4.What can be the best title of the text
A.Where Dreams Come True B.When Bad Fortune Falls
C.How I Value Friendship D.Why I Look Back My Life
D
The history of the modern train industry started with the appearance of the first steam engines, which enabled the human race for the first time to transport goods and people using a fast, reliable and cheap way. With the initial (最初的) great expansion of railways and locomotive (机车) designs, countless inventors focused their careers on improving trains and enabling goods and people to be transported much more safely and faster than ever before. But all those trains had to start from one point, and that point was steam engines.
Steam engines were introduced to the public during the 1770s, but their Scottish inventor James Watt sat on the patent(专利证书) and did not allow anyone to gain any commercial benefit from his designs. When his patent expired in the 1800s, gates of innovation opened all around the world and many inventors jumped to the opportunity to create their own vision of locomotives powered by steam. Richard Trevithick was the first one who took this chance, and showed to the world his innovative design of high-pressure steam engines that enabled him to create much more power from the locomotive of the same weight and size than before. Even though nobody believed that steam can deliver enough power for industrial use, he managed to show his design to a mine owner by pulling the weight of 10 tons over his 10-mile-long course. Even though his initial train design was not successful, he continued to innovate, even managing to publicly show his "Catch Me Who Can" locomotive.
Much more success today is owned to English inventor Matthew Murray who in 1804 created the first moving steam locomotive, and the more famous Salamanca locomotive that was used publicly in 1812. However he was not the inventor who designed the steam locomotive that was used on the first public railway system. That honor went to George Stephenson, the famous English engineer who created "Locomotion" in 1825.
Today, steam locomotives are mostly used in museums as windows to the past, but sometimes preserved and working models are used as tourist attractions enabling anyone to feel for themselves how the train industry began.
1.What does the underlined word in the second paragraph mean
A.To come to an end. B.To begin taking effect.
C.To be agreed. D.To be protected.
2.Which of the following can best describe Richard Trevithick
A.Stubborn and crazy. B.Easy-going and rich.
C.Creative and determined. D.Caring and loving.
3.What would be the best title of the text
A.Interesting Facts about Trains B.Modern Subway Transport Systems
C.History of Rapid Transit D.History of the Steam Locomotive

At sixty degrees below zero, Harry walked down the trail on a cold, gray day. Pure white snow and ice covered the earth for as far as he could see. This was his first winter in Alaska. He was wearing heavy clothes and fur boots, but he still felt cold and uncomfortable.
Harry was on his way to a camp near Henderson Creek where his friends were waiting. He expected to reach Henderson Creek by six o'clock that evening. It would be dark by then. He was refreshed when he realized his friends would have a fire and hot food ready for him. To make things better, there was a dog accompanying him on the journey.
The dog loved its owner but did not like the extreme cold. It knew the weather was too cold to travel. In spite of this bad situation, Harry with the dog continued to walk down the trail. He came to a frozen stream called Indian Creek. He began to walk on the snow-covered ice. It was a trail that would lead him straight to his friends.
As he walked, Harry looked carefully at the ice in front of him. Once, he stopped suddenly, and then walked around a part of the frozen stream. He saw an underground spring flowing under the ice at that spot. It made the ice thin. If he stepped there, he might break through the ice into a pool of water. To get his boots wet in such cold weather might kill him. His feet would turn to ice quickly and he would freeze to death.
At about twelve o'clock, Harry decided to stop to eat his lunch. He took off the glove on his right hand, opened his jacket and pulled out his food, which took less than twenty seconds. Yet, his fingers began to freeze.
Harry hit his hand against his leg several times until he felt a sharp pain. Then he quickly put his glove on his hand. He made a fire, beginning with small pieces of wood and adding larger ones. He sat on a snow-covered log and ate his lunch, enjoying the warm fire for a few minutes. Then he stood up and started walking on the frozen stream again.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
Several minutes later, the ice broke suddenly and Harry's feet sank into the water.

答案以及解析
第一部分 阅读理解
第一节
A
答案：1-3 BAD
解析：1.细节理解题.由第一段段末的 "But it has recently come to light that the site may have been discovered and robbed secretly as early as in 1867 by a German businessman, Augusto Berns." 可以得出答案.
2.细节理解题.由第一段中的 "…the site was brought to worldwide attention in 1911 by Hiram Bingham, an American historian. Since then, Machu Picchu has become an important tourist attraction." 可以得出答案.
3.词义猜测题.由后文的overlooking可以看出,宗教区位于山顶.故选D.
B
答案：1-4.CCAD
解析：1.考查细节理解。根据文章第一段内容可知A项错误,C项正确;根据文章第二可知B项错误;自然资源保护委员会并没有建议人们喝自来水,所以D项错误。
2.考查词义猜测。根据第六段内容可知,Nick Reeves举了一个例子来论证上文观点,认为瓶装水并不比自来水更可靠(more reliable)。故选C。
3.考查推理判断。根据文章倒数第二段内容可知,在美国,大约86%的瓶装水的塑料包装变成了垃圾。最后一段又提到为了减少塑料带来的危害,要选择其他更环保的包装方法,故可推知瓶装水的缺点就是包装的问题。故选A。
4.考查推理判断。根据文章最后一段中的"一些公司正在采用一种更加环保的包装方法"可以推测,下文可能会具体介绍这样的包装方法。
C
答案：(1)-(4)DBCA
解析：(1).词义猜测题。由语境可知,作者患有脑瘫,所以对他来说行走着实不易。故D项符合语境。
(2).细节理解题。根据第一段倒数第二句"Luckily, I had people in my corner to help me."可知,作者身边的人都在支持和帮助他,因此他感到很幸运。
(3).推理判断题。第三段详细描述了作者学习独立行走的艰难过程,故选C项。
(4).主旨大意题。作者通过介绍自己战胜困难的经历,鼓励我们直面困难,成就梦想,故A项可作为本文的标题。
D
答案：1-3.ACD
解析：1.考查词义猜测。结合画线词前的"James Watt sat on the patent(专利证书) and did not allow anyone to gain any commercial benefit from his designs"和画线词后的"gates of innovation opened all around the world"可知,开始时瓦特持有专利,不允许任何人用它获取商业利益,后来应该是专利到期了,由此才打开了发明的大门。故选A项。
2.考查推理判断。由第二段中的"Richard Trevithick was the first one who took this chance, and showed to the world his innovative design of high-pressure steam engines"以及"Even though his initial train design was not successful, he continued to innovate"可知,Richard Trevithick富有创新精神且坚定不移。
3.考查主旨大意。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了蒸汽机车的发展史,故答案为D。
第二节
答案：①-⑤ FDCAG
解析：①根据小标题和关键词cashback和the commission可知某些网站会将其本来会拿到的回扣返现给你,根据空后句It may not seem much, but over a week that could end up being close to $100.可知每次返现并不多,故F项合理。
②根据空前句Cashback websites also work with car hire, travel insurance companies, and hundreds of other travel companies.可知这些订票网站还和租车、旅行保险公司等合作,这些公司也会返现,所以这些钱加在一起就是很大一笔,故选择D项。
③根据小标题以及空后的many pet owners offer their house to travelers in exchange for pet sitting可知很多房主以照顾宠物作为交换提供给游客住房,所以C符合逻辑。此外本题空后是逗号,句子并无连词,因此应选择不是整句的选项,那么只有C和E两项满足这个条件,而E项意思与本段相差甚远,故选择C项。
④此空考查小标题,选项中只有A项和B项为祈使句,与其他小标题格式相同,根据本段高频词local 和第一句World traveler Brian Corsetti says an often overlooked way to save money is to strike up a conversation with a local.可知作者建议结识当地人,故A项正确。
⑤由空后句中的Instead of going to a restaurant, you stop by the home of a local... into how the locals really live and eat.可知此处作者建议不要去饭店而要去当地人家里吃饭故可知作者建议游客通过EatWith进行一次独特的国外之旅,这样既节省开支又可以体验当地人的饮食方式,故选择G项。

6.联系上下文可知, 作者除了接受现实外别无选择。故选B。
7.根据下文中的"Small victories are huge and important leaps"可知, 此处表示我们习以为常的小事往往是最重要的。空处与important对应, matter(事关紧要, 要紧, 有重大影响)符合文意, 故选C。
8.此处表示在过去的几年里, 作者的康复取得了进展。下文中的"I 10 hard in my recovery and still do to this day."也是信息提示。故选D。

第二节
答案：①confused②which③broke④in⑤shortened⑥defense/defence⑦a⑧dating⑨to find⑩but
解析：①考查形容词。sb. be confused about...意为“某人对……感到困惑”,应用形容词confused。
②考查定语从句的引导词。设空处无提示词,且前面有逗号,此处指在19世纪,爱尔兰王国加入,这形成了大不列颠及爱尔兰联合王国,由此推断设空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰的先行词就是前面整个主句的内容,故填which。
③考查动词的时态。设空处在句中作谓语,由时间状语In the 20th century可知应用一般过去时。故填broke。
④考查介词。根据语境可知此处指“导致”。result in意为“导致”,符合语境。故填in。
⑤考查过去分词。设空处修饰其后名词name,和name之间为被动关系,应用过去分词shortened。shortened name意为“简称”。
⑥考查名词。设空处作动词share的宾语,且其前有形容词military修饰,故填名词defense或defence。
⑦考查冠词。此处指伦敦是一个极好的地方,表示泛指,且wonderful以辅音音素开头。故填a。
⑧考查现在分词。此处指它有一个可以一直追溯到罗马时代的历史,history后面是后置定语,用来修饰history, date back to与history之间是主动关系,所以填现在分词dating。
⑨考查动词不定式。此处是“主语+be+adj.(表示心理活动的词)+to do sth.”的结构。故填to find。
⑩考查连词。not only...but(also)...意为“不但……而且……”,其中also可以省略。故填but。
第三节

答案：
Paragraph 1:
Several minutes later, the ice broke suddenly and Harry's feet sank into the water. It was not deep, but his legs got wet to the knees. Harry was so upset that the accident would delay his schedule. He had to find some firewood to build a fire to dry his clothes. He pulled off his gloves, took out his matches, and lighted the fire. Seeing the burning fire, he had thought he was safe. But suddenly, without warning, a heavy mass of snow dropped down. The flame of hope was put out.
Paragraph 2:
What's worse, his dog ran away and the fear of death came over Harry. He had no choice but to run to save himself. However, he did not feel his feet when they hit the ground. Having fallen several times, he decided to rest a while. As he lay in the snow, he noticed he was not shaking. He could not feel his nose or fingers or feet. A feeling of horror came into his mind. It was when he realized he was going to die that he heard a bark and the noise his friends made.
