Looking back on my childhood,I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made.
Although we were all brought up in the same way,my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects.Unlike them,I had no ear for music and languages.I was not an early reader and I could not do mental maths.
I have only the unmemorable memory of the house we lived in,of my room and my toys.Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents,aunts,uncles and cousins who gathered next door.But I do have a crystal clear memory of the dogs,the farm animals,the local birds,and above all the insects.
I am a naturalist,not a scientist.I have a strong love of the natural world,and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations.I love discussing my favourite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people’s observations and discoveries.Then something happens,which brings these observations together in my conscious mind.This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books,which some might honour with the title of scientific research.
But curiosity,a keen eye,a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist:One of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline,a quality I lack.A scientist requires not only self-discipline but all training,determination and a goal.A scientist,up to a point,can be made.A naturalist is born.If you can combine the two,you get the best of both worlds.
24.What impressed the author deeply during his childhood
A.Wildlife. B.Music.
C.Languages. D.Literature.
25.Why can’t the author remember his relatives clearly
A.He didn’t live with them for long.
B.The family was extremely large.
C.He was fully occupied with observing nature.
D.He was too young when he lived with them.
26.According to the author,what personality should a born naturalist have first of all
A.Being knowledgeable.
B.Being self-disciplined.
C.Being full of ambition.
D.Being full of enthusiasm.
27.Why does the author say he is a naturalist,not a scientist
A.He thinks he lacks some quality required of a scientist.
B.He thinks he has much trouble doing mental arithmetic.
C.He thinks he comes up with solutions in a most natural way.
D.He thinks he just reads about other people’s observations.

In the mid-1990s,Tom Bissell taught English as a volunteer in Uzbekistan.He left after seven months,physically broken and having lost his mind.A few years later,still attracted to the country,he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea.
His visit,however,ended up involving a lot more than that.Hence this book,Chasing the Sea:Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia,which talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan,where millions of lives have been destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea.It is the story of an American travelling to a strange land,and of the people he meets on his way:Rustam,his translator,a lovely 24-year-old who picked up his colourful English in California,Oleg and Natasha,his hosts in Tashkent,and a string of foreign aid workers.
This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan,made of friendliness and warmth,but also its darker side of society.In Samarkand,Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders,while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police methods when suspected of drug dealing.In Ferghana,he attends a mountain funeral(葬礼) followed by a strange drinking party.And in Karakalpakstan,he is saddened by the dust storms,diseases and fishing boats stuck miles from the sea.
Mr Bissell skillfully organizes historical insights and cultural references,making his tale a well-rounded picture of Uzbekistan,seen from Western eyes.His judgment and references are decidedly American,as well as his delicate stomach.As the author explains,this is neither a travel nor a history book,or even a piece of reportage.Whatever it is,the result is a fine and vivid description of the purest of Central Asian traditions.
28.What made Mr Bissell return to Uzbekistan
A.His friends’ invitation. B.His interest in the country.
C.His love for teaching. D.His desire to regain health.
29.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to
A.Developing a serious mental disease.
B.Taking a guided tour in Central Asia.
C.Working as a volunteer in Uzbekistan.
D.Writing an article about the Aral Sea.
30.Which of the following best describes Mr Bissell’s road trip in Uzbekistan
A.Romantic. B.Eventful.
C.Pleasant. D.Dangerous.
31.What is the purpose of this text
A.To introduce a book.
B.To explain a cultural phenomenon.
C.To remember a writer.
D.To recommend a travel destination.
D
Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think.It may let you surf the Internet,listen to music and snap photos wherever you are...but it also turns you into a workaholic,it seems.
A study suggests that,by giving you access to emails at all times,the all-singing,all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day.Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles.
The study by technology retailer Pixmania reveals the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours,but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails,or making work calls.More than 90 percent of office workers have email-enabled phones,with a third accessing them more than 20 times a day.Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails.Some workers confess(承认) they are on call almost 24 hours a day,with nine out of ten saying they make work emails and calls outside their normal working hours.The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 7 am,with more than a third checking their first emails in this period,and a quarter checking them between 11 pm and midnight.
Ghadi Hobeika,marketing director of Pixmania,said,“The ability to access literally millions of apps,keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smartphones invaluable for many people.However,there are drawbacks.Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day,seven days a week,and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from work.The more constantly in contact we become,the more is expected of us in a work capacity(职位).”
32.What can we conclude from the text
A.All that glitters is not gold.
B.It never rains but pours.
C.Every coin has two sides.
D.It’s no good crying over spilt milk.
33.What does the underlined word “accessing” in the third paragraph mean
A.Calling. B.Reaching.
C.Getting. D.Using.
34.Which of the following is true according to the text
A.The average UK working time is between nine and twelve hours.
B.Nine-tenths spent over three hours checking work emails.
C.One-fourth check their first emails between 11 pm and midnight.
D.The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 8 am.
35.What’s the main idea of the text
A.Workaholics like smartphones.
B.Smartphones bring about extra work.
C.Smartphones make our life easier.
D.Employers don’t like smartphones.

Why do students put off a big project until the last minute Believe it or not,it’s not because they are lazy,or they don’t want to perform well in school.They just always put more value on what is happening today than what will happen tomorrow.In addition,a big project may seem hard for them at the beginning. 36 Therefore,as a parent,helping your child break the project down into manageable parts such as researching,writing,and editing is necessary,which will help your child develop and practise his or her project planning and time management skills. 37
However,some children procrastinate (拖延) because they are afraid to fail or think they can’t live up to expectations. 38 For example,you can point out his or her efforts and past achievements,which can help your child develop a more positive attitude towards his or her work,making it easier to get started.
39 Children’s attention can be easily taken away from everything going on around them,such as toys,pets,even your conversation with others. 40 But you need to make sure this space has materials your child will need,including pencils,paper and erasers.Then your kid will be focused for a while.
A.So you should help build your child’s confidence.
B.A proper study space is also important to little kids.
C.They may not know how to get started by themselves.
D.Fears of failure and making mistakes are major causes of procrastination.
E.To avoid these,it’s better to create an especially quiet space for your child.
F.Then,he or she can deal with each task step by step until the project is done.
G.Find ways to make your child’s homework less like work and more interesting.

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。
Deep in the forest,my husband and I had fun climbing over and crawling under the downed trees that blocked the dirt path before us.It was May,yet we walked up a snow-covered hill.When we noticed our jeans were wet up to our knees,it did not dampen our spirits.Not once did we say,“let’s turn around.” This was our vacation,and we were on an adventure.Little did we know this was the beginning of many more surprises.
The trail was marked as an easy one-kilometre hike,yet we were already walking a long distance.Our lightheartedness stopped when we came out into a clearing and saw a parking lot without our rental car in it.As my eyes scanned the surroundings,nothing looked familiar.My heart raced.I realised we were lost in a national park that did not officially open for another week.
Usually,I am the calm one in the relationship,but my husband surprised me with his calmness.This did not comfort me;in fact,it heightened my fear.As we walked,I asked my husband to call for help,but there was no cellphone signal in this isolated (偏僻的) area.
It was awfully quiet except for our footsteps hitting the road,and my heavy breathing.My husband suggested we conserve energy and walk slower.With each step on the road,my feet and thighs hurt while my mind raced with thoughts about people who got lost in the Canadian woods for days.
My vision sharpened.I noticed everything around me:the trees,rocks and snow.I thought we could eat the snow on the ground in case we needed water.For the first time in my life,I was ready and willing to get a ride,but we did not meet with a single car on the road.Silently,I prayed multiple times.We focused on each other,made joint decisions and connected through gratitude.We managed to stay on the main road and walked straight on.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
My husband suddenly spotted a small building on a hill in the distance.
Just then,a friendly woman appeared,saying,“Hello.”

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了与健身运动、饮食营养、阅读书籍相关的三款应用程序。
21.D 细节理解题。根据Aaptiv中的内容可知,这款应用的突出之处在于:它将教练和私人教练的音频指令与你喜欢的歌曲搭配在一起,而不是枯燥乏味的录制好的歌曲,因此它比大多数录制的健身活动更吸引人。由此可知,Aaptiv最吸引人的地方是它提供以训练者为主导的训练,配上你喜欢的音乐。
22.A 细节理解题。根据MyFitnessPal中的内容可知,该应用程序可以将锻炼和营养计划结合在一起。这个免费的应用程序可以跟踪你的个人饮食和锻炼情况,根据你的体型和锻炼情况来确定最佳卡路里摄入量。它甚至可以让你扫描食品条形码,或者手动输入食品编码,从而获得准确的卡路里和营养数据。由此可知,人们下载MyFitnessPal最可能的目的是在运动的同时搭配正确的饮食。
23.B 细节理解题。根据Amazon Kindle中的内容可知,为了增加阅读乐趣,Kindle采用了来自亚马逊的技术,允许你在所有设备上同步上一次阅读的页面、书签、亮点和笔记;它还包括一个内置的字典,使人们在阅读时很容易查找新单词;Kindle应用程序还提供了谷歌搜索和维基百科。由此可知,Kindle有3个优点,可以提供更好的阅读体验。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自身的经历明白了一个道理:博物学家是天生的,而科学家则是可以后天培养的。
24.A 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“But I do have a crystal clear memory of the dogs,the farm animals,the local birds,and above all the insects.”可知,作者在童年时,印象深刻的是那些野生生物。
25.C 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“But I do have a crystal clear memory of the dogs,the farm animals,the local birds,and above all the insects.”可推知,作者童年时期过于专注自然界因而对周围的亲戚并不是很在意,所以对他们没有深刻的印象,这与第四段第二句中的“I have a strong love of the natural world”呼应。
26.D 推理判断题。根据第四段前两句“I am a naturalist,not a scientist.I have a strong love of the natural world,and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations.”可知,作者从小热爱自然界,而且这种热情使作者做了很多不同的调查,成了一个博物学家。由此可推知,一个天生的博物学家首先要充满热情。
27.A 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“But curiosity,a keen eye,a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist:One of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline,a quality I lack.”可知,作者认为自己只是一个博物学家而不是一个科学家,因为自己缺乏成为科学家的必备素质。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。Bissell先生重回乌兹别克斯坦,将旅途中所见所闻写成一本书,融入历史洞见和文化内涵,从西方人的角度全方位地再现了乌兹别克斯坦的现状。
28.B 细节理解题。由第一段第三句可知,Bissell先生之所以回到乌兹别克斯坦,是因为他被这个国家深深吸引。故选B项。
29.D 代词指代题。由第一段末句以及第二段第一句可知,代词that指代上文中出现的Bissell回到乌兹别克斯坦,所写的一篇关于咸海消失的文章。故选D项。
30.B 推理判断题。由第三段的描述可知,Bissell的乌兹别克斯坦之行充满了友善和温暖,也了解到了社会的阴暗面。在前往布哈拉的途中他曾被怀疑贩毒被警方拘捕。在费尔干纳,他参加了一个葬礼,后又参加了一场怪异的酒会。在卡拉卡尔帕克斯坦他又遭遇了沙尘暴、疾病及渔船被困等事情,所以说Bissell的乌兹别克斯坦之行有很多变故。故选B项。
31.A 写作意图题。作者开门见山,提到Bissell先生回到乌兹别克斯坦来写一篇关于咸海消失的文章。接下来介绍他此行远远超越了这一点,他出版了《追寻大海:消失在中亚帝国的魂魄中》一书,讲述了旅途中的种种经历。最后一段指出,Bissell以高超的技艺将历史洞见和文化内涵融入他的故事中,从西方人的视角全方位地再现乌兹别克斯坦的现状。所以本文作者旨在推介一本书。故选A项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍使用智能手机也许并不像你想的那样明智。使用智能手机可以让你随时随地上网、听音乐、拍照片……但也可能让你变成工作狂。最新调查显示,智能手机能让你随时查收邮件,因此这种花哨的手机会让你每天的工作时间延长多达两个小时。
32.C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“It may let you surf the Internet,listen to music and snap photos wherever you are...but it also turns you into a workaholic,it seems.”可知,文章主要介绍了使用智能手机不好的方面,虽然可以给人们提供很多方便,但是也会无形中延长人们的工作时间,由此可知C项“凡事都有两面”符合题意。
33.D 词义猜测题。本段介绍人们对手机的使用情况,故判断意思是“使用”。根据文章第二段首句“A study suggests that,by giving you access to emails at all times,the all-singing,all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day.”可知,一项研究表明,在任何时候都可以访问电子邮件让你的工作日增加了两个小时。access的词义也可由此进行推断,故答案应为D项。
34.C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“and a quarter checking them between 11 pm and midnight”可知,四分之一的人在晚上十一点和午夜之间检查他们的邮件。故选C项。
35.B 主旨大意题。文章首段提出“...but it also turns you into a workaholic,it seems.”,然后在下文进行了详细的介绍,由此判断文章中心内容是讲述智能手机无形中延长了工作时间,故选B项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了青少年拖延症的成因以及帮助他们摆脱拖延症的方法。
36.C 上一句“In addition,a big project may seem hard for them at the beginning.”提到,在开始的时候,一个大项目对于青少年来说可能看起来很难。C项“他们可能不知道怎样独自开始”承接上文,符合语境,故选C项。
37.F 上文“helping you child break the project down into manageable parts such as researching,writing,and editing is necessary”提到,把大项目切分成可以完成的小部分,比如研究、写和编辑等,是非常有必要的。由此可知,这些大项目需要一步一步完成。F项“然后,他或者她就可以一步一步地完成每项任务,直到完成整个项目”承接上文,故选F项。
38.A 根据上文“they are afraid to fail or think they can’t live up to expectations”可知,有些孩子做事拖延是因为害怕失败或者辜负期望。A项“所以你应该帮助你的孩子建立自信”承接上文,故选A项。
39.B 根据下文“Children’s attention can be easily taken away from everything going on around them”可知,孩子们的注意力很容易受周围的影响。结合全段内容推知,此段主要介绍空间和环境的重要性。B项“一个合适的学习空间对小孩来说也很重要”符合语境,故选B项。
40.E 根据上文“Children’s attention can be easily taken away from everything going on around them,such as toys,pets,even your conversation with others.”可知,上文讲的是孩子们的注意力很容易受周围的影响,例如玩具和宠物,甚至是你和其他人的对话。E项“为了避免这些,最好为你的孩子创造一个极其安静的环境”承接上文,其中的these就是指上一句中的“toys,pets,even your conversation with others”。故选E项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者是一位澳大利亚的老师,几年前到日本教英语,发现日本学生与澳大利亚学生的一个很大的不同点在于,日本学生从小注重团队意识的培养,作者由此感悟到文化的不同。
41.B 根据文章首句和第二段中的“everyone was speaking in English”可知,作者去日本教授“英语”(English)。
42.B 根据对全文内容的把握,此句为下文的总结句,是说作者根据自己的切身经历,很快“意识到”(realised)两个国家的学校的不同。
43.A 根据文章第三段和最后一段的信息可知,在日本课堂上往往进行“小组”(groups)活动。
44.C 根据第三段中的“debate with different viewpoints”可知,作者让他们去“讨论”(discuss)。
45.C 根据作者在澳大利亚的以往经验,这“意味着”(meant)一节很成功的课,因为课堂上学生各抒己见,气氛热烈。
46.D 根据第二段首句中的“In my first class”可知,作者想在日本课堂上“尝试一下”(tried)。
47.C 根据上文“a successful lesson—everyone was speaking in English”可知,作者很“自信”(confident)。
48.A 根据空格前的Instead of以及下文“there was almost silence”中的silence可知,答案为A项。此处表示没有出现“喧闹的”(noisy)辩论场景。
49.B 根据前后文信息,尤其是“briefly and quietly within their groups”可知,“低语”(whispered)符合语境,其他三个词都有大声的氛围。
50.C 对于反差很大的课堂氛围,作者自然很“诧异”(surprised)。注意后文中“but I now realise that the students were acting as a team”也是暗示。
51.D 根据后面作者的解释可知,此处应是come to understand“最终明白”。
52.B 根据第四段中的解释可知,日本学生常被“组织”(organised)进行分组活动。force“强迫”;organise“组织”;change“改变”;introduce“介绍”。根据句意可知选B项。
53.A continue“继续,延续”;appear“出现”;pass“通过”;deliver“传送”。此处指这种对团队意识的注重延续(continues)到了(将来的)工作场合和社会的各个方面。
54.B 根据下文“not the group”可知,澳大利亚教育强调的是“个体”(individual)的重要性。friendship“友谊”;individual“个体”;ability“能力”;competition“竞争”。故选B项。
55.C 根据全文内容和第一段最后一句可知,C项正确。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“第三文化的孩子们”这个术语的出现背景以及“第三文化的孩子们”的学习及心理现状。
56.totally 考查副词。此处应填total的副词形式修饰形容词different。
57.was used 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。此处是句子的谓语动词,由in the 1960s判断时态应为一般过去时;主语The term和use之间是被动关系,故用一般过去时的被动语态;主语是单数,故be用was。
58.researching 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处是while引导的状语从句的省略形式,完整的句子应是“She first came across this phenomenon while she was researching North American children living in India.”。当时间/条件/让步状语从句的主语与主句主语一致,且从句谓语有be动词时,可省略从句的主语和be动词。
59.their 考查代词。此处应用they的形容词性物主代词修饰名词experience。
60.difficulties 考查名词复数。由many判断此处用difficulty的复数形式。
61.to 考查介词。此处考查短语adapt...to...“使……适应……”。
62.to develop 考查非谓语动词。此处考查固定句型find it+adj.+to do sth“发现做某事怎么样”,其中it是形式宾语,to do sth是真正的宾语。
63.easier 考查形容词比较级。根据than判断此处应用easy的比较级作为is的表语。
64.where 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处是定语从句的关系词,先行词the country在从句中充当地点状语,应用关系副词where。
65.or 考查连词。句意:她对当前的电视节目或时尚潮流一无所知。根据语境可知,上下文是并列关系,设空处意为“或者”,应使用连词or。

第一节
Dear Henry,
I’m glad to have received your letter.It’s a pleasure for me to tell you my plan of this coming summer vacation.
First of all,a good rest is needed because I do feel tired after the hard work of all these years.Of course,I’ll do some reading for fun,and for knowledge as well.I’ll spend some time staying with my parents,chatting with them and doing some housework.If possible,I’ll take part in some social activities so that I can know more about the society.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
My husband suddenly spotted a small building on a hill in the distance.In no time did we find ourselves heading for it.We were filled with hope and excitement to find such a building in the middle of nowhere.We climbed up the hill at a swinging pace as if all the pains were gone.As we approached,a sign came into sight,which read:Administration Office.However,it was not open for business.The empty hall made us nervous all at once.We stood there hopelessly wondering what to do next.
Just then,a friendly woman appeared,saying,“Hello.”I could barely hold back my enthusiasm and blurted out,“We’re lost!” She comforted us and opened a room for us to take a break.Seeing we were cold and hungry,she treated us with hot chocolate.After studying the map,we figured out that our car was parked over three kilometres away.She offered us a ride back to our car and we accepted gladly.I felt relieved to see our rental car again.What a blessing to have such an unforgettable experience!
