Nate had spent most of his seventy years in the woods. As a young man, he had the alternative of working in the city with his brother. But he decided that urban life was not for him. He preferred to isolate himself from others and find shelter in nature from the crowds and noise of the city. He was more than willing to give up such advantages as flush toilets and electric blankets for the joy of watching a sunrise illuminate the frozen pines.
Because Nate had lived alone for so long, his behavior was unpredictable. For example, one minute he’d be very quiet, and the next he’d talk about his youth. His knowledge of nature was extensive, and so I learned much from him through the years.
I will tell you an interesting story that shows how wise he was about the woods and how miserly (吝啬的) he could be with words. One evening Nate, my cousin Arthur, and I were crossing a grassland. Arthur’s interest in some little white mushrooms that were growing there led to this dialogue:
“These mushrooms look so good,” said Arthur. “Did you ever use them, Nate ”
“Yep,” said Nate. “My mom used to cook them up.”
“Great!” said Arthur. Nate’s words seemed to strengthen Arthur s desire for those mushrooms. He gathered about a hundred of them. “How did she prepare them ” he asked Nate.
“Cooked them up in sugar water.”
“Really And then you ate them that way ”
“Ate them ” Nate was horrified. “You crazy We used to put them in a bowl on the table to kill flies!”
4. Which can make Nate happier
A. Working in the city. B. Quitting flush toilets.
C. Using electric blankets. D. Enjoying sunrises in the woods.
5. Nate is a man with ________.
A. ambition B. courage C. knowledge D. imagination
6. What do we know about the white mushrooms
A. They were delicious. B. Nate ate them very often.
C. They might be poisonous. D. Arthur’s mother used to cook them.
7. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Far From Nature B. White Mushrooms C. Nate the Woodsman D. Advantages of Urban Life
C
Over the next 20 years, we are going to send more and better robots to Mars. Those robots will send back better pictures, maps, samples, and weather reports. There is a limit to what robots can tell us, though, so eventually we will have to send people to study the planet. Before people can visit Mars, we need to invent a spaceship that can take us there. Mars is very far away. Depending on where Mars and Earth are in their orbits (轨道) around the sun, it could take between six months to a year to get there.
The moon is much closer, and we were there, 25 years ago. Over the next 10 years, we are going to work on building a new spacecraft that can go to the moon. Using this craft, we will practise the skills we need to go to Mars.
Once we get to the moon, we are going to build a station so that people can live and work on the moon for months at a time. This is important so that we have a place to start from when we want to visit Mars, but it is also important because it gives us practice with living away from Earth.
By the time you are old enough to be an astronaut, we will have people spending months on the moon. By the time you are old enough to be a commander of a space mission we will be taking trips to Mars. By the time your kids are old enough to be astronauts, we may have people living on Mars. Wouldn’t it be cool to get a postcard from someone who was building a house on Mars Wouldn’t it be cooler if it was you who sent the postcard
8. We eventually have to send people to Mars because_________.
A. the pictures that robots have sent back are not very clear
B. robots can’t tell us all we want to know
C. robots are controlled by us humans
D. the samples robots have sent back are not good enough
9. From the first paragraph we can see the distance between Earth and Mars________ .
A. is not always the same
B. is nearly the same
C. is unchangeable
D. never changes very much
10. A space station on the moon is important because________ .
A. people can learn to adapt to living on other planets
B. people can practise planting crops in it
C. the new spacecraft can only land in it
D. astronauts can practise skills they need to go to Mars
11. The author of the passage________.
A. thinks that trips to the moon are an unrealistic dream
B. encourages kids to be astronauts
C. hopes to receive a postcard from Mars
D. is sure people’s dream of living on Mars will come true
D
The situation of the world’s plants is not good. One fifth of the kinds of plants are in danger of disappearing, according to a report.
“Plants are very vital to human beings,” said Kathy Willis, who led the new report. “Plants provide us with everything—food, fuel, and medicine, and they are very important for our climate controlling. Without plants we would not be here.”
The good news is that deforestation rates around the world have dropped largely since the 1950s. However, this report on the health of plants around the world shows that there is much more to be done.
The report predicts that there are now 390,900 kinds of plants. And about 21 percent of those plants are in danger of disappearing. “The good side is that we’re still discovering lots of new plants, about 2,000 each year,” said Dr. Willis. “The bad side is that we’ve seen a huge change in land cover, mainly caused by cultural activity, with a little bit of climate change in there as well.”
Human activity has a great effect on the danger of plants disappearing. As humans cut down forests to make room for agriculture, towns and cities, biodiversity is lost. This could not only affect our own food supply directly, but also affect the food web.
12. What does the underlined word “vital” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Useless. B. Friendly. C. Equal. D. Important.
13. Which of the following does Dr. Willis agree with
A New plants are more than ever before. B. About half the plants will disappear soon.
C Many new plants are found every year. D. Plants mustn’t be used to produce medicine.
14. What can we learn from the third paragraph
A. We have made little progress. B. There is a long way for us to go.
C. We have achieved our goal. D. There will be nothing we can do.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Biodiversity Being Lost B. Human Social Activity
C. Environment Protection D. Nature Climate Change

47. 阅读下而材料，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。
As a single mother, I’ve never doubted my daughter Jane’s dream to be a singer on the stage. At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs.
Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing.
Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me.
It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary.
That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks.
After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us.
注意：1.续写词数应150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One day, however, Mary came with good news.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage.

Over the next 20 years, we are going to send more and better robots to Mars. Those robots will send back better pictures, maps, samples, and weather reports. There is a limit to what robots can tell us, though, so eventually we will have to send people to study the planet. Before people can visit Mars, we need to invent a spaceship that can take us there. Mars is very far away. Depending on where Mars and Earth are in their orbits (轨道) around the sun, it could take between six months to a year to get there.
The moon is much closer and we were there, 25 years ago. Over the next 10 years, we are going to work on building a new spacecraft that can go to the moon. Using this craft, we will practise the skills we need to go to Mars.
Once we get to the moon, we are going to build a station so that people can live and work on the moon for months at a time. This is important so that we have a place to start from when we want to visit Mars, but it is also important because it gives us practice with living away from Earth.
By the time you are old enough to be an astronaut, we will have people spending months on the moon. By the time you are old enough to be a commander of a space mission we will be taking trips to Mars. By the time your kids are old enough to be astronauts, we may have people living on Mars. Wouldn’t it be cool to get a postcard from someone who was building a house on Mars Wouldn’t it be cooler if it was you who sent the postcard
8. We eventually have to send people to Mars because_________.
A. the pictures that robots have sent back are not very clear
B. robots can’t tell us all we want to know
C. robots are controlled by us humans
D. the samples robots have sent back are not good enough
9. From the first paragraph we can see the distance between Earth and Mars________ .
A. is not always the same
B. is nearly the same
C. is unchangeable
D. never changes very much
10. A space station on the moon is important because________ .
A. people can learn to adapt to living on other planets
B. people can practise planting crops in it
C. the new spacecraft can only land in it
D. astronauts can practise skills they need to go to Mars
11 The author of the passage________.
A. thinks that trips to the moon are an unrealistic dream
B. encourages kids to be astronauts
C. hopes to receive a postcard from Mars
D. is sure people’s dream of living on Mars will come true
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. D

【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的最后一句“Depending on where Mars and Earth are in their orbits (轨道) around the sun, it could take between six months to a year to get there.(按照火星和地球围绕太阳时的轨道，到达火星需要6至12个月的时间)”可知，从地球到火星需要6至12个月的时间，由此可知，火星和地球之间的距离是不定的。故选A项。

The situation of the world’s plants is not good. One fifth of the kinds of plants are in danger of disappearing, according to a report.
“Plants are very vital to human beings,” said Kathy Willis, who led the new report. “Plants provide us with everything—food, fuel, and medicine, and they are very important for our climate controlling. Without plants we would not be here.”
The good news is that deforestation rates around the world have dropped largely since the 1950s. However, this report on the health of plants around the world shows that there is much more to be done.
The report predicts that there are now 390,900 kinds of plants. And about 21 percent of those plants are in danger of disappearing. “The good side is that we’re still discovering lots of new plants, about 2,000 each year,” said Dr. Willis. “The bad side is that we’ve seen a huge change in land cover, mainly caused by cultural activity, with a little bit of climate change in there as well.”
Human activity has a great effect on the danger of plants disappearing. As humans cut down forests to make room for agriculture, towns and cities, biodiversity is lost. This could not only affect our own food supply directly, but also affect the food web.
12. What does the underlined word “vital” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Useless. B. Friendly. C. Equal. D. Important.
13. Which of the following does Dr. Willis agree with
A. New plants are more than ever before. B. About half the plants will disappear soon.
C. Many new plants are found every year. D. Plants mustn’t be used to produce medicine.
14. What can we learn from the third paragraph
A. We have made little progress. B. There is a long way for us to go.
C. We have achieved our goal. D. There will be nothing we can do.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Biodiversity Being Lost B. Human Social Activity
C. Environment Protection D. Nature Climate Change
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要从五分之一的植物物种面临消失的危险出发，引出植物对人类的重要性、当前植物所面临的险境，以及导致生物多样性丧失的原因进行了详细的介绍，指出这种变化最终将会危害到人类自身。
【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“Plants provide us with everything-food, fuel, medicine, and they are very important for our climate controlling. Without plants we would not be here.(植物为我们提供了一切——食物、燃料、药物，它们对我们控制气候非常重要。没有植物，我们就不会在这里)”可知，Kathy Willis说的是植物对人类非常重要。可知画线词意思为“重要的”。A. Useless.无用的；B. Friendly.友好的；C. Equal.平等的；D. Important.重要的。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中““The good side is that we’re still discovering lots of new plants, about 2,000 each year,” said Dr. Willis. (Willis博士说：“好的一面是我们仍在发现大量的新植物，每年大约有2000种。”)”结合选项可知，Willis博士会同意C选项“每年都发现许多新植物”的说法。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, this report on the health of plants around the world shows that there is much more to be done.(然而，这份关于世界各地植物健康状况的报告表明，还有很多工作要做)”可知，我们还有很长的路要走。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Human activity has a great effect on the danger of plants disappearing. As humans cut down forests to make room for agriculture, and towns and cities, biodiversity is lost. This could not only affect our own food supply directly, but also it could affect the food web.(人类活动对植物消失的危险有很大的影响。当人类为了给农业和城镇腾出空间而砍伐森林时，生物多样性就消失了。这不仅会直接影响到我们的食物供应，还会影响到食物网)”结合文章主要讲述植物物种面临消失，植物对人类非常重要，植物所面临的险境会导致生物多样性丧失，这种变化最终将会危害到人类自身。可知A选项“生物多样性正在丧失”符合文章标题。故选A。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下而材料，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。
As a single mother, I’ve never doubted my daughter Jane’s dream to be a singer on the stage. At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs.
Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing.
Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me.
It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary.
That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks.
After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

【答案】 One day, however, Mary came with good news. She told Jane the school music festival was to be held the next month and that her classmates all expected her to sing on behalf of her class. Jane’s eyes sparkled but responded doubtfully, “Can I... ” Mary and I immediately assured her that she could make it. In the following month, with the help of Mary, Jane kept on practicing singing. Beautiful songs echoed in our house again and smiles began to appear on her face. Finally the big day came when she could present herself.
When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. Jane was greeted with warm applause. As she began to sing, the audience got absorbed in her beautiful voice. Seconds after her performance, all the audience rose with thunderous cheers. When wheeled off stage, Jane received praise and bunches of flowers from her teachers and classmates. Jane was moved to tears. The kindness and encouragement from her teachers and classmates stimulated Jane’s enthusiasm for life, making her regain confidence in pursuing her original dream, which I will support wholeheartedly.
