What do you think of when you hear the word “drought”: Do you think of “dry” “hot” “dusty” “cracked (开裂的) earth” or even “no water” If so you’re on the right track!
When some places are in drought, they may be dry, hot and dusty. Cracks may appear in the soil, and rivers, lakes, streams and other sources of water may go dry. Other places in drought get some rain, but not as much as they usually receive during that season. Drought means that a place has less rain or snow than normal over a few months or even longer.
Drought has many causes. It can be caused by not receiving rain or snow over a period of time. We learned in the discussions above about the water cycle and weather. The changes in the wind patterns that move clouds and moisture through the atmosphere can cause a place not to receive its normal amount of rain or snow over a long period of time.
If you live in a place where most of the water you use comes from a river, a drought in your area can be caused by places upstream from you not receiving enough moisture. There would be less water in the river for you and other people who live along the river to use.
People can also play a big role in a drought. If we use too much water during times of normal rainfall, we might not have enough water when a drought happens.
4. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic. B. To analyze the problem.
C. To conclude the article. D. To put forward an argument.
5. What will happen if a place is in drought
A. The weather will be dry, hot and windy.
B. There won’t be any water left in rivers or lakes.
C. There will be less rain or snow for quite a long time.
D. The rainy season will be replaced by the snowy season.
6. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “moisture” in Paragraph 3
A. Dust in the wind. B. Rain in the soil. C. Snow on the ground. D. Water in the air.
7. What topics are discussed before the passage
A. The definition (定义) of drought. B. The water cycle and weather.
C. The causes of drought. D. The influence of drought.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了干旱的定义、特征和形成的原因。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“What do you think of when you hear the word “drought”: Do you think of “dry” “hot” “dusty” “cracked (开裂的) earth” or even “no water” (当你听到“干旱”这个词时，你会想到什么？你会想到“干燥”、“炎热”、“尘土飞扬”、“龟裂的土地”，甚至是“没有水”吗？)”可知，本文第一段以“自问自答”的设问句引入了本文话题——干旱。故第一段的主要目的是引入话题。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Drought means that a place has less rain or snow than normal over a few months or even longer.(干旱是指一个地方在几个月甚至更长时间内的雨雪比正常情况少。)”可知，干旱发生时，较长时间内降水量少于正常量。故选C。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词下文的“cause a place not to receive its normal amount of rain or snow(导致一个地方没有正常的雨雪量)”可知，画线词所在句描述了降水不足的原因，风带走了空气中的水分，从而导致降水减少，moisture意为“空气中的水分”，和water in the air意思相近，故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第三句“We learned in the discussions above about the water cycle and weather.(我们在上面的讨论中了解到了水循环和天气。)”可知，在本文之前已经讨论了“水循环和天气”。故选B。
C
In the shadow of Kenya’s Mount Kilimanjaro, nine Rothschild giraffes, the rarest giraffes on the planet, are free to wander at the English-style manor (庄园). Every day shortly before 9 a.m., they come up to the house and stick their heads through the windows and doors in search of morning treats. The manor’s owners, Tanya and Mikey Carr-Hartley, share their dining table with them. And now the couple are sharing the fantastic experience with the public by opening the manor gates to guests at the giraffe hotel, the only hotel of its kind in the world. Now, guests can feed the giraffes at breakfast but can also get up close to them from their second- floor bedrooms.
Mr and Mrs Carr-Hartley, both 38, spent their childhood living close to the house in Nairobi and have always been enthusiastic about the animals. Tanya said, “Mikey and I grew up near this manor house when we were children. We are both the third generation Kenyans and have always wanted to work in conservation. Mikey’s family have been related to the protection of animals for many generations, His grandfather helped the removal of giraffes as far back as the 1930s because the Rothschild giraffes lost much of their natural living space. When the house came up for sale, we jumped at the chance to buy it as we had always dreamed of owning it. Now, we were absolutely overjoyed to do something for the giraffe protection. Having the giraffes so close is very special and something which people can now experience by staying in one of the ten rooms at the hotel.”
A conservation project to save them was started at the manor in 1974 by the previous owners. “The previous owners ran a very successful breeding (繁殖) programme, where many giraffes were set free into the wild and we hope to continue,” said Tanya.
8. Why are the Carr-Hartley family unusual

C. It built a new manor for the wild giraffes. D. It removed giraffes to Mount Kilimanjaro.
10. Which can best describe the manor’s previous owners’ conservation project
A. Failed. B. Energy-saving. C. Expensive. D. Successful.
11. What is the suitable title for the text
A. Giraffes’ Breakfast by Guests B. Reasons for Giraffe Protection
C. The World’s Only Giraffe Hotel D. History of the Giraffe Manor

主旨大意题。根据第一段“Every day shortly before 9 a.m., they come up to the house and stick their heads through the windows and doors in search of morning treats.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了世界上年龄最大的小学生马来西亚老奶奶Min的事迹。
【32题详解】
考查形容词的最高级。句意：90岁的马来西亚老奶奶是世界上年级最老的小学生。根据“elementary school student”可知，空处需填形容词，此处表示世界上年纪最大的小学生，故用形容词的最高级。故填oldest。
【33题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：她来自一个小村庄，那里很少有女孩上学。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，从句缺状语，先行词是“a small village”，故用关系副词where引导。故填where。
【34题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：她一生中大部分时间都在做助产士，帮助接生婴儿。sb spend some time doing sth意为“某人花费时间做某事”。故填working。
【35题详解】
考查连词。句意：她希望自己能读书写字，这样就可以将自己的技术传授下去。根据语境可知，后句是前句的结果，连词so可以表示“所以，因此”，符合句意。故填so。
【36题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：她说小时候没有机会上学。短语have a chance to do sth.意为“有机会做某事”。其中不定式做定语修饰抽象名词chance。故填to go。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：她说她知道自己年纪大了，但她想给年轻人树立一个榜样。动词短语set an example to...为固定搭配，意为“给……树立榜样”。example为可数名词，且其发音以元音音素开头，故填an。
【38题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：她想让她村子里所有的孩子都上学。根据“all the”可知，空处应填名词复数形式。故填children。
【39题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：现在我为她感到自豪。短语be proud of...意为“为……而自豪”。故填of。
【40题详解】
考查时态。句意：自从她来了以后，我已经看到学校里有了巨大的变化。根据后面的时间状语从句“since she came”可知，此处用现在完成时。故填have seen。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：我想告诉全世界的儿童，特别是女孩子，教育就是你们的财富。在英语里通常用副词做状语修饰形容词、副词、动词或整个句子。此处表示强调“特别是”，故填especially。

【答案】Dear David
In your last letter, you asked me about the Spring Festival. As is known to all, it has been enjoying great popularity in our country.
Usually, no matter how far away or how busy we are, we will try to come home for the celebration. On the eve of the Spring Festival, all the family members get together, making dumplings and watching the Spring Festival Gala. Children have great fun in setting off fireworks. Before the Spring Festival, I put up couplets with my family and it was very interesting. During this Spring Festival, my parents also took me to pay a visit to relatives and friends, with whom we shared the joy of reunion.
I sincerely hope you will get a chance to come to China to experience it in the future. Best Wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua

53. 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。
It was time to go home. “Remember to work on your class speeches for homework,” Miss Walker called, as everyone started talking and packing their school bags. Jenny felt sick. She hated having to read aloud in class. She was sure everyone got really bored listening to her. Once, when Jenny was reading out her holiday diary, Lee was even looking at his watch, a silver and blue one which seemed just magical.
Jenny watched Lee walk ahead of her as they left school. He seemed so clever, and he had a certain sort of shining confidence. He was just one of those people who were good at everything. Jenny sighed. As she turned the corner, she saw Lee’s watch lying right in the middle of the path.
Jenny knew she should just pick it up and return it to him, but she didn’t want to run after him. Jenny bent down quickly, picked up the watch and ran home. On arriving home, Jenny put it on almost without thinking. She was surprised it fitted so well. She walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech. Words just flooded out of her. “I’m going to talk about swimming. I have been lucky. I’ve won lots of competitions. But when I’m in a race, I’m not really thinking about winning. I’m just loving the feeling of being in the water...”Jenny laughed with excitement. She walked across the room. She suddenly seemed to have a certain sort of confidence. Turning back to the mirror, Jenny saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass. The flashes of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lee’s watch really DID have something magic.
The next day, as the lesson began, Miss Walker asked who was going to be brave and go first. No-body moved. Jenny slowly raised her arm. Before Miss Walker could say anything, there was a shout from behind. “She’s stolen my watch!” Lee said angrily, “It went missing at school yesterday.”
Paragraph 1: Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jenny, waiting for an explanation.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph2: At that moment, Miss Walker smiled and asked the class to listen to Jenny’s speech first.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jenny, waiting for an explanation. Jenny didn’t answer. How could she explain about the watch and its magic No one could understand. No one could believe. “But I saw you wearing it yesterday,” Miss Walker gently reminded him. For a moment Lee remained silent and then he apologized he had just remembered that. Jenny was relieved, saying she had found it on the way home and decided to return it after the speech. Everybody was puzzled and asked why. Jenny again was speechless.
At that moment, Miss Walker smiled and asked the class to listen to Jenny’s speech first. Jenny walked slowly to the front. She couldn’t think properly. All round her, a sea of faces was watching. She felt so frightened and the watch didn’t seem magical at all. Suddenly she saw Miss Walker’s encouraging eyes. Jenny took a deep breath. “I’m going to talk about swimming...” Ten minutes later the whole class stood up, applauding Jenny’s wonderful speech. Jenny smiled as she eventually realized the real source of confidence.

What do you think of when you hear the word “drought”: Do you think of “dry” “hot” “dusty” “cracked (开裂的) earth” or even “no water” If so you’re on the right track!
When some places are in drought, they may be dry, hot and dusty. Cracks may appear in the soil, and rivers, lakes, streams and other sources of water may go dry. Other places in drought get some rain, but not as much as they usually receive during that season. Drought means that a place has less rain or snow than normal over a few months or even longer.
Drought has many causes. It can be caused by not receiving rain or snow over a period of time. We learned in the discussions above about the water cycle and weather. The changes in the wind patterns that move clouds and moisture through the atmosphere can cause a place not to receive its normal amount of rain or snow over a long period of time.
If you live in a place where most of the water you use comes from a river, a drought in your area can be caused by places upstream from you not receiving enough moisture. There would be less water in the river for you and other people who live along the river to use.
People can also play a big role in a drought. If we use too much water during times of normal rainfall, we might not have enough water when a drought happens.
4. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 1
A To introduce the topic. B. To analyze the problem.
C. To conclude the article. D. To put forward an argument.
5. What will happen if a place is in drought
A. The weather will be dry, hot and windy.
B. There won’t be any water left in rivers or lakes.
C. There will be less rain or snow for quite a long time.
D. The rainy season will be replaced by the snowy season.
6. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “moisture” in Paragraph 3
A. Dust in the wind. B. Rain in the soil. C. Snow on the ground. D. Water in the air.
7. What topics are discussed before the passage
A. The definition (定义) of drought. B. The water cycle and weather.
C. The causes of drought. D. The influence of drought.
C
In the shadow of Kenya’s Mount Kilimanjaro nine Rothschild giraffes, the rarest giraffes on the planet, are free to wander at the English-style manor (庄园). Every day shortly before 9 a.m., they come up to the house and stick their heads through the windows and doors in search of morning treats. The manor’s owners, Tanya and Mikey Carr-Hartley, share their dining table with them. And now the couple are sharing the fantastic experience with the public by opening the manor gates to guests at the giraffe hotel, the only hotel of its kind in the world. Now, guests can feed the giraffes at breakfast but can also get up close to them from their second- floor bedrooms.
Mr and Mrs Carr-Hartley, both 38, spent their childhood living close to the house in Nairobi and have always been enthusiastic about the animals. Tanya said, “Mikey and I grew up near this manor house when we were children. We are both the third generation Kenyans and have always wanted to work in conservation. Mikey’s family have been related to the protection of animals for many generations, His grandfather helped the removal of giraffes as far back as the 1930s because the Rothschild giraffes lost much of their natural living space. When the house came up for sale, we jumped at the chance to buy it as we had always dreamed of owning it. Now, we were absolutely overjoyed to do something for the giraffe protection. Having the giraffes so close is very special and something which people can now experience by staying in one of the ten rooms at the hotel.”
A conservation project to save them was started at the manor in 1974 by the previous owners. “The previous owners ran a very successful breeding (繁殖) programme, where many giraffes were set free into the wild and we hope to continue,” said Tanya.
8. Why are the Carr-Hartley family unusual
A. They’re living on the rarest giraffes. B. They share their home with giraffes.
C. They’re good at making giraffes’ food. D. They train giraffes to manage the hotel.
9. What can we know about Mikey’s family
A. It has had a long connection with giraffes. B. It used to raise giraffes around the manor.
C. It built a new manor for the wild giraffes. D. It removed giraffes to Mount Kilimanjaro.
10. Which can best describe the manor’s previous owners’ conservation project
A. Failed. B. Energy-saving. C. Expensive. D. Successful.
11. What is the suitable title for the text
A. Giraffes’ Breakfast by Guests B. Reasons for Giraffe Protection
C. The World’s Only Giraffe Hotel D. History of the Giraffe Manor

On arriving home, Jenny put it on almost without thinking. She was surprised it fitted so well. She walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech. Words just flooded out of her. “I’m going to talk about swimming. I have been lucky. I’ve won lots of competitions. But when I’m in a race, I’m not really thinking about winning. I’m just loving the feeling of being in the water...”Jenny laughed with excitement. She walked across the room. She suddenly seemed to have a certain sort of confidence. Turning back to the mirror, Jenny saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass. The flashes of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lee’s watch really DID have something magic.
The next day as the lesson began, Miss Walker asked who was going to be brave and go first. No-body moved. Jenny slowly raised her arm. Before Miss Walker could say anything, there was a shout from behind. “She’s stolen my watch!” Lee said angrily, “It went missing at school yesterday.”
Paragraph 1: Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jenny, waiting for an explanation.
