阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选。
A
Whether you’re taking a trip alone or with your family, it’s easier to get sick when you’re in a new place because your body hasn’t had a chance to adjust to the food, water, and air there. Read the following tips on keeping your travel experience as healthy as possible.
Safe foods and drinks
What foods are safe to eat Foods that have been boiled are generally safe, as well as fruits and vegetables that have to be peeled before eating. Avoid eating uncooked or undercooked meat.
Stay away from foods that require a lot of handling before serving.
Drink only bottled water when travelling. If you have to use the tap water, you should boil it first.
You can take it with you
When you’re packing, taking some painkiller and diarrhea (腹泻) medicine is a good idea. It’s also a good idea to pack some allergy (过敏) medicine even if you don’t take it at home, because people sometimes unexpectedly develop allergic reactions in a new environment.
Make a travel journal
Before you leave your sweet home, create a medical history form that includes the following information: your name, address, and home phone number as well as a parent’s daytime phone number, your blood type, a list of any ongoing health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, or AIDS; type a list of current medicines you are taking; type a list of allergies to medicine, food, insects, and animals the name, address, and phone number of a relative other than your parent.
It also helps if you have some basic first-aid medical knowledge, not only for yourself but also for helping others you may be travelling with. A great way to prepare for your trip is to take a first-aid or basic life support course before you go; if you’re travelling with a group, you should know where the first-aid kit is and what’s in it.
1. The underlined word in Para. 1 means ________.

Last summer, I spent four months working in France, where the company I was working for put me up in a house that didn’t have Wi - Fi. I wasn’t looking forward to it.
I soon discovered, however, that living in a house without Wi - Fi was easier than I expected.
Contact between my friends and family was significantly reduced to the odd text message here and there. I couldn’t enjoy my usual web browsing on BBC iPlayer, social media sites, keeping up to date with the news, or even wanting to know the opening hours of shops in the new area I was in.
I didn’t, however, spend a full four months without connecting to a Wi - Fi network. It was only a five minute walk to the reception where I could connect for free and spend as much time online as I wanted to at my own leisure. It made me think, though, how unnecessary it can be, how unnecessarily we rely on it - how we perhaps rely on it too much. As a person, I was more sociable. I spent more time with my housemates instead of hiding behind a computer screen. I did other things that I wouldn’t necessarily have done if I could have browsed the web at my leisure. I read more, I cooked meals for my friends, and I even tidied up more often. Dare I say it; I learned how to live without Wi - Fi. Dare I say it; I found it was easier than I had imagined.
4. What was the writer’s first feeling when finding her house had no Wi - Fi
A. Unexpected. B. Angry. C. Shocked. D. Hopeful.
5. How did the writer keep in touch with her friends and family without Wi - Fi
A. By writing regularly. B. By text message. C. By video calls. D. By telegram.
6. What was the writer’s life like without Wi - Fi
A. Boring. B. Lonely. C. Active. D. Relaxing.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. A life without Wi – Fi B. Different views on the Internet
C. The disadvantages of Wi – Fi D. How to use the Internet properly
C
There’s nothing better than a walk in the countryside for lifting our spirits. Connecting with nature has been proven to help our mental health. For some, the refreshing thing is to walk through a forest, but as we admire the trees that surround us, it’s worth knowing these trees are doing more than just being nice things to look at.
We’re already aware of the benefits of trees—they produce oxygen and clean the air we breathe by absorbing about a quarter of all human-caused carbon dioxide emissions(排放). But there’s more to these impressive forms of vegetation than we might think. Researchers have discovered evidence that proves they are actually intelligent.
It’s thought that trees talk and share resources right under our feet, using a fungal(真菌的) network. Under the ground are tree roots, and mixed among them, are thousands of superfine threads of fungi. And research has shown that they are all interconnected. They can help each other by sharing nutrients, and they can even warn of approaching threats. Scientists say it’s like the trees are talking to one another.
Ecologist Suzanne Simard has called this network the Wood Wide Web. She discovered that parent trees use this network to help their offspring(后代). She said, “We found that the parent trees would favour those offspring by sending them more nutrients.” She also found that trees are smart enough to change their behaviour and have managed to adapt and survive in a changing environment.
So it seems trees really are the stars of our natural world, and with around a huge number of them on our planet, it’s time to show them some respect if we want them to grow healthily.
8. What’s the benefit of being surrounded by trees
A. Increasing our intelligence. B. Improving our mental health.
C. Lowering the risk of diseases. D. Developing our taste for beauty.
9. How do trees talk to each other
A. By changing their behavior. B. By changing their environment.
C. By waving to each other with their leaves. D. By using threads of fungi under the ground.
10. What’s the possible way for parent trees to help their offspring survive
A. They interconnect all the trees.
B. They choose the smartest offspring.
C. They send their offspring more nutrients.
D. They warn their offspring of approaching threats.
11. What’s the best title of the text
A. Clever Trees B. The Functions of Trees
C. Natural Selection D. Environmental Protection
D
The black cloud rising every day at sunset in the Chihuahuan Desert went largely ignored for thousands of years. Native Americans noticed it, but did not track its source. Cowboys thought the cloud was smoke pouring from the earth, and avoided it.
In June of 1901, however, a teenage cowboy named Jim White happened to see the large, black cloud. He was curious and went to investigate. Instead of finding a volcano, as he had imagined, he discovered something equally amazing. It was a big mass of bats. Two days later, he returned with a lantern to explore further. It took him so long that his lantern went out. He managed to refill it with just enough oil to find his way back to the entrance.
The next time Jim White went to the cave he brought a friend and supplies. They explored for three days and returned with descriptions that were so fantastic that few people believed them. The cowboys on nearby farms and the people in the tiny town of Carlsbad treated Jim’s stories as tall tales and nothing more.
After years of exploring the caves and finding no one to believe his stories, Jim White decided to create his own tourist attraction. He established trails (路线) along the paths he had found. One day in 1915, two men asked Jim for a tour. After seeing the caves, the men returned with a professional photographer named Ray V. Davis. Local doubts were finally put to rest by the photographs of the hidden beauty that Jim had discovered. All 13 locals of Carlsbad finally took a tour of the caves, which came to be known as Carlsbad Caverns.
In 1923, the government sent an official named Robert Holly to tour the caves. Later that year, the caves were stated a national monument (古迹), and in 1930 they became a national park. Jim White lived to see the Carlsbad Caverns become world-famous. Today, tourists can hike to and tour some of the 100 known caves in this huge natural wonder, thanks to the cowboy from New Mexico.
12. What do we know about the black cloud
A. It was discovered in 1901. B. It was noticed by accident.
C. It was actually a mass of bats. D. It was smoke from the earth.
13. Who joined Jim’s third exploration
A. Jim’s friend. B. A photographer.
C. Robert Holly. D. 13 locals of Carlsbad.
14. What can we conclude about the public’s recognition of Carlsbad Caverns
A. It made Jim White rich. B. It was an easy process.
C. It happened before 1915. D. It came true thanks to the photos.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. A Brave Cowboy B. A Hidden Wonder
C A Worthwhile Invention D. A Nationwide Contribution

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Billy was 15 years old then. He grew up in a very poor neighborhood. No one in his family had gone to college before. Actually, few people around him had received higher education. They all struggled to live a good life. Therefore, Billy knew nothing about colleges or scholarships and he never thought he would go to college one day. Although he was a smart boy, he didn’t study hard at school and often got into trouble with other teenagers in his neighborhood.
One day, while Billy was walking on the playground, a boy of his age started making fun of him. Then that boy pushed him hard and Billy fell onto the ground. Billy became so angry that he stood up and beat that boy. So a fight began.
It happened that Billy’s English teacher Mr. Smith was walking nearby. He immediately ran to the boys to stop the fight. Billy was a bit worried because he knew his teacher was very strict with students. He was afraid his teacher would punish him. However, to his astonishment, his teacher didn’t do that.
“Billy, let’s have a talk,” said his teacher.
Billy, not knowing what his teacher wanted to do, was very worried. But he nodded. So they went to a bench nearby and sat down. After they sat down, Mr. Smith began, “Billy, I know you’re a smart boy, but you’re wasting your life now. Why don’t you study hard to go to college so that you can change your life and have a bright future ”
Hearing that, Billy didn’t know what to say. He had never thought about it. Billy was in silence. Mr. Smith continued, “I know you may have never thought about going to college. But everything is possible. When I was at your age, I was a troublemaker just like you and never thought I’d be able to go to college, either. It was all because of the support and encouragement of Mr. Howard, my math teacher in high school.”
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；

词句猜测题。划线词句前半部分“Whether you’re taking a trip alone or with your family, it’s easier to get sick when you’re in a new place (无论你是独自旅行还是和家人一起旅行，当你到了一个新的地方，你的身体都很容易生病，)”说明人们到一个新地方，环境改变，不适应环境，容易生病，从而推知划线部分“because your body hasn’t had a chance to adjust to the food, water, and air there. (因为你的身体还可能没有adjust那里的食物、水和空气。)”其中划线词汇意思是“适应”。故选B项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Before you leave your sweet home, create a medical history form that includes the following information: your name, address, and home phone number as well as a parent’s daytime phone number, your blood type, a list of any ongoing health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, or AIDS; type a list of current medicines you are taking; type a list of allergies to medicine, food, insects, and animals the name, address, and phone number of a relative other than your parent.( 在你离开温馨的家之前，创建一份病史表格，包括以下信息：你的姓名、地址、家庭电话号码以及父母白天的电话号码、你的血型、任何正在发生的健康问题的清单，如心脏病、糖尿病或艾滋病；键入你目前正在服用的药物清单；输入对药物、食物、昆虫和动物过敏的清单，以及你父母以外的亲戚的姓名、地址和电话号码。)”可知，你需要写上你自己的、你父母（之一）的以及一个亲戚的电话号码，不包括朋友的。故选D项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。最后一段中“It also helps if you have some basic first-aid medical knowledge, not only for yourself but also for helping others you may be travelling with. (如果你有一些基本急救医学知识，这不仅对你自己有帮助，而且对你可能与之同行的人也有帮助。)”提及急救课程；倒数第二段“Before you leave your sweet home, create a medical history form that includes the following information: your name, address, and home phone number as well as a parent’s daytime phone number, your blood type, a list of any ongoing health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, or AIDS; type a list of current medicines you are taking; type a list of allergies to medicine, food, insects, and animals the name, address, and phone number of a relative other than your parent.( 在你离开温馨的家之前，创建一份病史表格，包括以下信息：你的姓名、地址、家庭电话号码以及父母白天的电话号码、你的血型、任何正在发生的健康问题的清单，如心脏病、糖尿病或艾滋病；键入你目前正在服用的药物清单；输入对药物、食物、昆虫和动物过敏的清单，以及你父母以外的亲戚的姓名、地址和电话号码。)”提及了写下你的血型和服用一些必要的药物。所以，文章没有提到的是告诉父母你的计划。故选C项。

The black cloud rising every day at sunset in the Chihuahuan Desert went largely ignored for thousands of years. Native Americans noticed it, but did not track its source. Cowboys thought the cloud was smoke pouring from the earth, and avoided it.
In June of 1901, however, a teenage cowboy named Jim White happened to see the large, black cloud. He was curious and went to investigate. Instead of finding a volcano, as he had imagined, he discovered something equally amazing. It was a big mass of bats. Two days later, he returned with a lantern to explore further. It took him so long that his lantern went out. He managed to refill it with just enough oil to find his way back to the entrance.
The next time Jim White went to the cave, he brought a friend and supplies. They explored for three days and returned with descriptions that were so fantastic that few people believed them. The cowboys on nearby farms and the people in the tiny town of Carlsbad treated Jim’s stories as tall tales and nothing more.
After years of exploring the caves and finding no one to believe his stories, Jim White decided to create his own tourist attraction. He established trails (路线) along the paths he had found. One day in 1915, two men asked Jim for a tour. After seeing the caves, the men returned with a professional photographer named Ray V. Davis. Local doubts were finally put to rest by the photographs of the hidden beauty that Jim had discovered. All 13 locals of Carlsbad finally took a tour of the caves, which came to be known as Carlsbad Caverns.
In 1923, the government sent an official named Robert Holly to tour the caves. Later that year, the caves were stated a national monument (古迹), and in 1930 they became a national park. Jim White lived to see the Carlsbad Caverns become world-famous. Today, tourists can hike to and tour some of the 100 known caves in this huge natural wonder, thanks to the cowboy from New Mexico.
12. What do we know about the black cloud
A. It was discovered in 1901. B. It was noticed by accident.
C. It was actually a mass of bats. D. It was smoke from the earth.
13 Who joined Jim’s third exploration

C. Robert Holly. D. 13 locals of Carlsbad.
14. What can we conclude about the public’s recognition of Carlsbad Caverns
A. It made Jim White rich. B. It was an easy process.
C. It happened before 1915. D. It came true thanks to the photos.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. A Brave Cowboy B. A Hidden Wonder
C. A Worthwhile Invention D. A Nationwide Contribution
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“In June of 1901, however, a teenage cowboy named Jim White happened to see the large, black cloud. He was curious and went to investigate. Instead of finding a volcano, as he had imagined, he discovered something equally amazing. It was a big mass of bats.(然而，1901年6月，一个名叫吉姆·怀特的十几岁的牛仔碰巧看到了大片的乌云。他很好奇，于是去调查。他没有像他想象的那样发现火山，而是发现了同样惊人的东西。那是一大群蝙蝠)”可知，那一大片乌云是一群蝙蝠。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。据上题分析可知，那是吉姆的一次探索。根据第二段的“Two days later, he returned with a lantern to explore further. (两天后，他提着灯笼回来，继续探索)”可知，两天后是吉姆第二次探索；根据第三段的“The next time Jim White went to the cave, he brought a friend and supplies. (下一次吉姆·怀特去山洞时，他带了一个朋友和补给)”可知，这次是吉姆第三次探索，这次他带了一个朋友，即一个朋友加入了吉姆的第三次探索。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“After seeing the caves, the men returned with a professional photographer named Ray V. Davis. Local doubts were finally put to rest by the photographs of the hidden beauty that Jim had discovered.

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Native Americans noticed it, but did not track its source. Cowboys thought the cloud was smoke pouring from the earth, and avoided it.(美洲原住民注意到了它，但没有追踪它的来源。牛仔们以为云是从地上冒出来的烟，于是避开了它)”，第三段的“They explored for three days and returned with descriptions that were so fantastic that few people believed them. (他们探索了三天，回来时描述山洞太棒，但几乎没有人相信)”，倒数第二段的“After years of exploring the caves and finding no one to believe his stories, Jim White decided to create his own tourist attraction. (经过多年探索洞穴，发现没有人相信他的故事，吉姆·怀特决定创建自己的旅游景点)”以及最后一段的“Later that year, the caves were stated a national monument (古迹), and in 1930 they became a national park. (那年晚些时候，这些洞穴被列为国家古迹, 1930年，它们成为国家公园)”可知，本文主要讲述了卡尔斯巴德洞穴存在了几千年，一直被人们忽视，后来一个名叫吉姆·怀特的牛仔发现了它，使它闻名于世，故B项“隐藏的奇观”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选B。

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Billy was 15 years old then. He grew up in a very poor neighborhood. No one in his family had gone to college before. Actually, few people around him had received higher education. They all struggled to live a good life. Therefore, Billy knew nothing about colleges or scholarships and he never thought he would go to college one day. Although he was a smart boy, he didn’t study hard at school and often got into trouble with other teenagers in his neighborhood.
One day, while Billy was walking on the playground, a boy of his age started making fun of him. Then that boy pushed him hard and Billy fell onto the ground. Billy became so angry that he stood up and beat that boy. So a fight began.
It happened that Billy’s English teacher Mr. Smith was walking nearby. He immediately ran to the boys to stop the fight. Billy was a bit worried because he knew his teacher was very strict with students. He was afraid his teacher would punish him. However, to his astonishment, his teacher didn’t do that.
“Billy, let’s have a talk,” said his teacher.
Billy, not knowing what his teacher wanted to do, was very worried. But he nodded. So they went to a bench nearby and sat down. After they sat down, Mr. Smith began, “Billy, I know you’re a smart boy, but you’re wasting your life now. Why don’t you study hard to go to college so that you can change your life and have a bright future ”
Hearing that, Billy didn’t know what to say. He had never thought about it. Billy was in silence. Mr. Smith continued, “I know you may have never thought about going to college. But everything is possible. When I was at your age, I was a troublemaker just like you and never thought I’d be able to go to college, either. It was all because of the support and encouragement of Mr. Howard, my math teacher in high school.”
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
Then, Mr. Smith began to tell Billy his story.

Paragraph 2:
Billy was greatly touched by Mr. Smith’s story.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Then Mr. Smith began to tell Billy his story. “At that time, I usually skipped classes and every teacher was seemingly used to that except Mr Howard. He arrested me again and again, so finally I yielded in case of meeting his disappointed eyes. And he noticed my change and talked with me about future patiently. It was the first time I had heard somebody who advised me to further my education and I began to study hard to be admitted into a college with the help of scholarship. And finally I made it.”
Paragraph 2:
Billy was greatly touched by Mr.Smith’s story. So he began to listen to the teachers carefully in class and finish his homework by himself. Fortunately, Mr. Smith was willing to help him make up what he missed before and other teachers were all glad to see his change and answer his question with patience. Eventually, with Billy’s effort and his teachers’ support, he was admitted into a famous college and became a doctor.
