In 1916, two girls of wealthy families, best friends from Auburn, N. Y. — Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood — traveled to a settlement in the Rocky Mountains to teach in a one-room schoolhouse. The girls had gone to Smith College. They wore expensive clothes. So for them to move to Elkhead, Colo to instruct the children whose shoes were held together with string was a surprise. Their stay in Elkhead is the subject of Nothing Daunted: The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the West by Dorothy Wickenden, who is a magazine editor and Dorothy Woodruff s granddaughter.
Why did they go then Well, they wanted to do something useful. Soon, however, they realized what they had undertaken.
They moved in with a local family, the Harrisons, and, like them, had little privacy, rare baths, and a blanket of snow on their quilt when they woke up in the morning. Some mornings, Rosamond and Dorothy would arrive at the schoolhouse to find the children weeping from the cold. In spring, the snow was replaced by mud over ice.
In Wickenden s book, she expanded on the history of the West and also on feminism, which of course influenced the girls decision to go to Elkhead. A hair-raising section concerns the building of the railroads, which entailed (牵涉) drilling through the Rockies, often in blinding snowstorms. The book ends with Rosamond and Dorothy s return to Auburn.
Wickenden is a very good storyteller. The sweep of the land and the stoicism (坚忍) of the people move her to some beautiful writing. Here is a picture of Dorothy Woodruff, on her horse, looking down from a hill top: “When the sun slipped behind the mountains, it shed a rosy glow all around them. Then a full moon rose. The snow was marked only by small animals: foxes, coyotes, mice, and varying hares, which turned white in the winter.”
4. Why did Dorothy and Rosamond go to the Rocky Mountains
A. To teach in a school. B. To study American history.
C. To write a book. D. To do sightseeing.
5. What can we learn about the girls from paragraph 3
A. They enjoyed much respect. B. They had a room with a bathtub.
C. They lived with the local kids. D. They suffered severe hardships.
6. Which part of Wickenden s writing is hair-raising
A. The extreme climate of Auburn.
B. The living conditions in Elkhead.
C. The railroad building in the Rockies.
D. The natural beauty of the West.
7. What is the text
A. A news report. B. A book review.
C. A children s story. D. A diary entry.
C
He's as big as a small golden dog and covered with scales (鳞片).He is the pangolin (穿山甲),an endangered animal.
According to the wildlife trade monitoring organization Traffic,about one million pangolins were killed from 2000 through 2013,mainly for their scales,which are used in medicine.Pangolins are sensitive creatures and picky eaters that only eat certain species of ants,a diet that's very difficult to copy in the food chain.
"In the last decade,there's been a huge growth trade in pangolins between continents,especially their scales, " says Dan Challender,chair of the pangolin specialist group.Previously,most pangolin killing happened within Asia,he says.This shift means that Asian pangolins are becoming difficult to find but that the value of the scales makes it worth the extra cost to take pangolins from Africa to Asia secretly.
All eight species of pangolins,four in Africa and four in Asia,are in danger of extinction due to the illegal trade.International trade in the four species of Asian pangolins has been banned since 2000.In the past few years,a ban on international commercial trade in all eight species has gone into effect.It was voted by 183 governments that are parties to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species(CITES),which is in charge of cross-border trade in wild animals and their parts.
Pangolins are eaten as bushmeat in western and central Africa and by some local groups in South and Southeast Asia.Their parts also are used in Ghana,Nigeria,South Africa,and elsewhere in sub-Saharan Africa as traditional medicine.Typically dried,ground into powder,and put into pills,pangolin scales are used in a range of traditional medicines to help mothers who have given birth to babies to recover.But they are now endangered.Perhaps no pangolins can be seen when our next generation grow up.
8. What do you know about pangolins from Paragraph 2? ______
A. Their meat is very delicious.
B. Their scales are of great value.
C. They are smaller than young dogs.
D. They are on the top of the food chain.
9. Why are pangolins brought from Africa to Asia? ______
A. Pangolins are cheaper in Africa.
B. No laws protect pangolins in Africa.
C. People in Asia can really save pangolins.
D. Pangolins have sharply decreased in numbers in Asia.
10. What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us? ______
A. Pangolins have many different species.
B. The bans on pangolin trade are ineffective.
C. People used to take advantage of pangolins in different ways.
D. Governments have tried to contribute to the protection of pangolins.
11. What's the author's attitude towards pangolins' future? ______
A. Positive. B. Uncaring. C. Concerned. D. Confident.
D
According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed (安装) has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them.
Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven't given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they'll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.
"Solar projects need to be good neighbors," says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment (InSPIRE) project. "They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy." InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to "low-impact" solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫).
Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms.
Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. "These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that's going on in the landscape," says Macknick.
12. What do solar developers often ignore
A. The decline in the demand for solar energy.
B. The negative impact of installing solar panels.
C. The rising labor cost of building solar farms.
D. The most recent advances in solar technology.
13. What does InSPIRE aim to do
A. Improve the productivity of local farms.
B. Invent new methods for controlling weeds.
C. Make solar projects environmentally friendly.
D. Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas.
14. What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To protect pollinators. B. To restrict solar development.
C. To diversify the economy. D. To ensure the supply of energy.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Pollinators:To Leave or to Stay
B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future
C. In SPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture
D. Solar Farms: A New Development

When the last customer left,it was already 10:30 pm.Eric,an 18-year-old college student in Atlanta,dragged himself home.In order to save money to buy himself the new mountain bike,he had been working at KFC for over a month that summer vacation.He already had 120 dollars.With one more week,he would have his dream bike.
Entering his room,Eric found his younger brother Bill sitting on the edge of his bed with an uneasy expression on his face.
"Sorry,Eric.I ...I did something wrong," Bill sprang up and said nervously.
"What is it?"
"This afternoon I went to play football on the road outside our house and accidentally hit our neighbor Mr.White's car.I was so scared and I ...I hurried home in panic without telling him."
"Is the car seriously damaged?"
"The ball hit the front hard and the left headlight of it got broken."
"It's truly your fault.It's really dangerous to play football on the road.What's worse,you shouldn't come back without telling Mr.Smith about it," Eric raised his voice,obviously annoyed.Hearing this,Bill lowered his head and bit his lips hard.
"Anyway,it's no use crying over spilt milk.And it is too late today.We have to deal with it tomorrow.Now you just go to bed."
When Bill went bed,Eric couldn't go to sleep himself.Father always told him to be honest,to be a man respected by people and to be an example of his brother.He was sorry for his brother's behavior.He shouldn't have run away after he did something wrong.But he could understand him.Anyway,he was only a boy of seven and what had happened really scared him.But as his elder brother,he should do something about it although this may delay his plan of having the mountain bike. "Nothing serious,just another week in KFC," he said to himself.

近几年高考试题中的完形填空有新的变化,试题所涉及的知识面不断拓宽,综合难度不断提高。做完形填空首先要通读全文,了解大意。一篇完形填空的文章有许多空格,所以,必须先通读一至两遍,才能大概了解文章的内容。千万不要看一句,做一句。其次要逐句分析,前后一致。选择答案时,要考虑整个句子的内容,包括搭配、时态、语法等。答案全填完后,再通读一遍文章,检查是否通顺流畅,用词得当,意思正确。
36.【答案】【小题1】keeping
【小题2】from
【小题3】and
【小题4】calmly
【小题5】to back
【小题6】their
【小题7】tensions
【小题8】that
【小题9】stormy
【小题10】will turn
【解析】(1)考查动名词。句意:保持和平的关键是定期和诚实的沟通。分析句子可知横线前面的to为介词,后接动名词作宾语。故填keeping。
(2)考查介词。句意:当你不同意你的父母,花一分钟冷静下来,试着从他们的角度来理解情况。分析句子可知,from one's point of view"从某人的观点来看"为固定短语。故填from。
(3)考查连词。句意:也许他们经历过类似的事情,不想让你经历同样的痛苦。分析句子可知,句中have experienced与do not want之间构成并列结构,故使用连词and进行连接。故填and。
(4)考查副词。句意:在你想清楚之后,冷静地解释你的行为和感受,仔细倾听,并解决他们的担忧。分析句子可知,横线处使用calm的副词calmly"冷静地"作状语,修饰动词explain。故填calmly。
(5)考查动词不定式。句意:通过这种健康的讨论,你将学会何时退让,何时要求父母放松他们的控制。分析句子可知,句中构成"特殊疑问词when+不定式"结构,整体作learn的宾语,此处表示"去退让",并与后文的when to ask构成并列关系。故填to back。
(6)考查代词。句意:通过这种健康的讨论,你将学会何时退让,何时要求父母放松他们的控制。分析句子可知,横线后control为名词,所以横线处使用they的形容词性物主代词their修饰名词control。故填their。
(7)考查可数名词复数。句意:只要记住,与亲子关系紧张所产生的压力作斗争是完全正常的,你和你的父母可以共同努力改善你们的关系。分析句子可知,横线处使用tense的名词tension"紧张"作主语,此处表示复数意义,用其复数形式。故填tensions。
(8)考查宾语从句。句意:只要记住,与亲子关系紧张所产生的压力作斗争是完全正常的,你和你的父母可以共同努力改善你们的关系。分析句子可知,横线处引导宾语从句,与前文的that it is completely normal to struggle with the stress that parent-child tensions create构成并列,作remember的宾语,横线处的引导词在从句中不作成分,应用只起连接作用、无实意的that引导。故填that。
(9)考查形容词。句意:好消息是,这种暴风期不会持续太久。分析句子可知,横线处使用storm的形容词stormy作定语,修饰名词period。故填stormy。
(10)考查动词时态。句意:最后一切都会好起来的,青少年时期的变化和挑战会为你成年做准备。分析句子可知,横线的动词作句子谓语,根据文中的will prepare可知,横线处使用一般将来时与横线后构成并列结构。故填will turn。
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了改善与家人关系的方法。
语法填空考查学生英语综合知识的运用,做题时要首先明确短文大意,从词语搭配,固定句型,语法,时态等方面综合考虑,结合上下文语境找出正确答案。

解题方法点拨
(1)品读原文,确定文章线索

(2)仔细审题,明确续写要求
一般短文后面的"注意"都有对此次短文续写的具体要求,如词数限制使用几处标有下划线的关键词语。续写段落的首句提示,这样考生可以做到"心中有数"。
(3)回扣原文,揣摩续写思路
根据文章后面的要求,再次快速阅读短文,抓住文章的思路结合段首的提示语最终确定续写段落的思路。同时结合文章画线词语提示,确定续写段落的内容。
(4)拟写草稿,修改错词病句
在确定了思路和内容之后,最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中画线的关键词拟写草稿。拟写时,注意句子结构的多样性,语言的丰富性,并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用,使上下文连贯。
