【解析】
【详解】考查一般现在时态。句意：该航班每周一和周五凌晨2:30起飞。动词短语take off意为“起飞”；根据句中“at 2:30 am every Monday and Friday”可知，句中描述的是经常性、习惯性动作，用一般现时。故选A项。
13. The man pulled out a gold watch,_____were made of small diamonds.
A. the hands of whom B. whom the hands of
C. which the hands of D. the hands of which
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：那个人取下一只金表，这只表的指针是由小的砖石做的。本题定语从句的先行词是a gold watch，在定语从句中which指代先行词作为介词of的宾语。关系词whom的先行词只能是人，C项的位置错误。故D正确。
点评：解答定语从句的关键是分析句子成分，如果定语从句的句子成分很完整就使用关系副词；如果句子缺少主语，宾语，表语或者定语的时候就使用关系代词。同时也要注意一些关系词的特殊用法，尤其是that的特殊用法，既要注意普遍性，也要注意特殊性。特别关注：Whose是关系词中唯一的一个可以放在名词前面做定语的关系代词，如果缺少定语，用whose引导定语从句，或是of which the+名词/the+名词+of which。要特别注意which引导非限制性短语从句的用法。
14. This is the reason ________ he gave at the meeting for his carelessness in his work.
A. why B. that C. as D. what
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：这就是他在会上说他工作粗心的原因。空处引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the reason，且关系词在从句中作gave的宾语，指物，应用that/which引导定语从句，故选B。
15. Both the car and its driver ________ had fallen over the bridge were carried away immediately after they were found.
A which B. as C. that D. who
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：从桥上掉下来的汽车和司机在被发现后立即被运走了。分析可知，此处引导限制性定语从句，先行词为Both the car and its driver，其中既有人又有物，应用关系代词that引导。故选C项。
16. She brought with her three friends，none of ________ I had ever met before.
A. them B. who C. whom D. these
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查关系代词。句意：她带来了三个朋友，我以前从没见过他们。whom指代前面提到的three friends。在定语从句中作of的宾语。故选C项。
17. The Paradise Lost is the only one of the world famous poems that ________ by John Milton 400 years ago.
A. were written B. are written C. was written D. is written
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和语态。句意：《失乐园》是约翰·米尔顿400年前创作的世界著名诗歌中唯一的一首。关系代词that引导定语从句，that指代先行词“the only one (单数意义)”作主语，它与从句谓语动词write之间为被动关系，再由“400 years ago”可知，从句讲述过去的事情，因此从句的谓语动词write使用一般过去时的被动语态，故选C项。
18. The first place ________ they visited in London was the Big Ben.
A. where B. that C. as D. which
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：他们在伦敦参观的第一个地方是大本钟。空格处引导定语从句，先行词place指物，被序数词the first修饰，从句缺少宾语，用that引导定语从句，故选B。
19. Can you lend me the book ________ the other day
A. you talked about it B. that you talked
C. you talked about D. about that you talked
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：你能把那天谈到的那本书借给我吗？“_____the other day”是限定性定语从句，修饰先行词the book，“谈论”为动词短语talk about，关系词在从句中作about的宾语，应用that或which来引导定语从句，也可省略关系词，为you talked about。故选C。
20. We went to visit the house________Mao Zedong and his colleagues held important meetings.
A. with whom B. in which C. about which D. from where
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：我们去参观了毛泽东和他的同事们举行重要会议的房子。分析句子可知，空处引导定语从句，修饰the house，从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where引导，又关系副词=介词+which，表示“在房子里”用介词in，故用in which引导定语从句，故选B。

Many years ago, my dad was facing a serious heart condition. He was unable to do a steady job. He fell suddenly ill and had to be admitted to the hospital.
He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children’s hospital. My dad loved kids. It was the perfect job for him. He ended up working with the seriously ill children. He would talk, play, and do arts with them.
One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed (瘫痪) her from the neck down. She couldn’t do anything, and she was very depressed. My dad decided to try to help her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn’t use his hands at all. All the while he would tell her, “See, you can do anything you set your mind to.”At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. My dad also left the children’s hospital for a little while because he became ill. Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work, in came the little girl who had been paralyzed and only this time she was walking. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave him a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read: “Thank you for helping me walk.”
My dad would cry every time he told us this story and so would we. He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctor, and my dad—who died just a few months after the little girl gave the picture—loved every single child in that hospital.

By now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it’s not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins and other nutrients that enter our body.
Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and even cancer. But raw vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene, the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables. “There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better,” says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohi o State University. “For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful.”
A number of factors decide how the vegetables do good to people’s health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways.
Vitamins C and B are often lost. In January, another report said that boiling was better for carrots than frying or serving them raw. Frying was the worst way to cook.
What cooked with the vegetables can also be important When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them. Putting on some other things that make it taste better—a little salt—can make the food taste better.
28. The writer mainly wants to tell us that ________.
A. people should eat more vegetables
B. the way people eat vegetables is important
C. eating vegetables is good for us
D. how much vegetables one should eat
29. The people who eat the raw vegetables for a long time will ________.
A. have the eyes problems B. have heart disease
C. be in need of lycopene D. hate eating tomatoes
30. The following decide how the vegetables do good to people EXCEPT ________.
A. the place where the vegetables are grown
B. the way how the vegetables are stored
C. the way how the vegetables are prepared
D. the price at which the vegetable are sold
31. From the last paragraph, we can know ________.
A. It’s better to cook vegetables with fat
B. the more fat in the cooking, the fewer vegetables people will eat
C. It’s better to cook the vegetables without salt
D. the fat will increase the nutrition of the vegetables
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是决定蔬菜食用效果的一些影响因素以及推荐食用蔬菜的方法。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“By now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it's not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins and other nutrients that enter our body.(到目前为止，大多数人都知道他们应该多吃蔬菜。但是有没有办法从你已经吃过的蔬菜中获得更多呢？一项研究表明，当涉及到蔬菜时，不仅是我们吃了多少，还有我们如何准备它们，这决定了维生素和其他营养物质进入我们的身体)”及文章最后一段“When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients.(当蔬菜与脂肪一起烹饪时，食客可以获得更多的营养)”可知文章说明了决定蔬菜食用效果的一些影响因素，和推荐食用蔬菜的方法。由此可推知，作者主要想告诉我们，人们食用蔬菜的方式很重要。故选B项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene, the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables.(研究人员发现，198名吃生食的德国人缺乏番茄红素，这种物质存在于西红柿和其他红色蔬菜中)”可知，长期吃生蔬菜的人需要番茄红素。故选C项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it's not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins and other nutrients that enter our body.(一项研究表明，说到蔬菜，不仅要看我们吃多少，还要看我们如何准备蔬菜，这决定了进入我们体内的维生素和其他营养物质)”可知蔬菜的制作方法将决定蔬菜是否对人有益；第三段“A number of factors decide how the vegetables do good to people's health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought.(有很多因素决定了这些蔬菜在进入餐桌前对人们的健康有什么好处，包括它们在被购买之前的生长地点和储存方式)”可知蔬菜生长的地方和蔬菜储存的方式都能影响蔬菜的食用效果，文章没有提到蔬菜的价格问题，由此可知D选项“the price at which the vegetable are sold(蔬菜的售价)”不属于影响因素。故选D项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients.(当蔬菜与脂肪一起烹饪时，食客可以获得更多的营养)”可知当蔬菜和植物油一起烹饪时，就餐者可以获得更多的营养。由此可知，蔬菜最好和植物油一起煮。故选A项。

Cuckoos (布谷鸟) are masters of cheating. When it comes to raising young, they don’t spend the energy building a nest, protecting eggs or feeding children. Instead the female passes these roles on to other birds. They don’t raise their own young. Usually, they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, fooling other birds into thinking the cuckoo eggs are theirs.
To succeed in doing this, a female cuckoo watches over her chosen nest to observe feeding times. When the host parent leaves its nest in search of food, the cuckoo quickly lays her eggs among those already in the nest. Sometimes, she will even destroy and remove one of the host’s eggs to make room for her own.
Cuckoos are medium-sized birds with long tails, and often have gray or brown backs. When they hatch (孵化) and begin to grow in a host’s nest, the difference between the two can be obvious to an onlooker. Often the cuckoo is twice the size of its foster (收养的) parents, but still continues to receive food from them.
The cuckoo imposter (冒名顶替者) is usually the only baby bird that the host parent has to care for. This is because when the cuckoo hatches after around 11 days, it gets rid of all the other eggs in the nest. It will lift each egg onto its back before throwing them one by one over the edge of the nest. Even then, the non-biological parent will continue to treat it as one of its own.
Also, cuckoos have developed to produce eggs that are similar in color to their main hosts’. This reduces the chances of eggs being attacked. Female cuckoos have been known to take host birds’ attention away after laying their eggs by producing a noise similar to Eurasian sparrowhawks, scaring birds away from returning to the nest and allowing time for the cuckoo to make her escape unnoticed.
32. What do mother cuckoos usually do when it comes to raising their young
A. Attend to eggs. B. Build a new nest. C. Depend on other birds. D. Learn feeding skills.
33. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Other cuckoos. B. Baby cuckoos. C. Birth parents. D. Host parents.
34. What can be inferred about the cuckoo imposter
A. It usually hatches out earlier than the other eggs in the nest.
B. It throws all the other eggs out of nest with its mother’s help.
C. It often makes a noise to scare other birds away from the nest.
D. It looks much larger than other eggs in the nest before hatching.
35. What is the text mainly talking about
A. How cuckoos fool other birds. B. How cuckoos protect their children.
C. How cuckoos destroy others’ nests. D. How cuckoos produce eggs in host nests.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了布谷鸟自己不会筑巢，所以总是将自己的蛋产在其他鸟类的巢里，从而让其他鸟类为自己孵化幼鸟。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Instead the female passes these roles on to other birds. They don’t raise their own young. Usually, they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, fooling other birds into thinking the cuckoo eggs are theirs.(相反，雌性布谷鸟把这些角色传递给其他鸟。它们不抚养自己的孩子。通常，它们把蛋下在别的鸟的巢里，让别的鸟以为布谷鸟蛋是它们自己的)”可知，在孵化幼鸟的时候，布谷鸟总是依赖其他鸟类。故选C项。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线前半句“Often the cuckoo is twice the size of its foster (收养的) parents(通常情况下，布谷鸟的体型是养父母鸟类的两倍)”可知，虽然和养父母鸟类差别很大，但布谷鸟幼鸟仍能从养父母鸟类那里获得食物。所以划线单词them指的是“养父母鸟类（寄宿父母）”。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The cuckoo imposter (冒名顶替者) is usually the only baby bird that the host parent has to care for. This is because when the cuckoo hatches after around 11 days, it gets rid of all the other eggs in the nest. It will lift each egg onto its back before throwing them one by one over the edge of the nest.(冒充布谷鸟的雏鸟通常是寄宿父母需要照顾的唯一雏鸟。这是因为当布谷鸟在11天后孵化时，它会把巢中所有其他的蛋都扔掉。它会把每个蛋背在背上，然后把它们一个一个地扔出巢穴的边缘)”可知，当布谷鸟孵化出来的时候，其他蛋还处于孵化状态。因此可推断，布谷鸟比鸟巢中其他鸟类孵化的要早。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Cuckoos (布谷鸟) are masters of cheating.(布谷鸟是欺骗的大师。)”以及文章主要内容可知，文章主要介绍了布谷鸟是如何欺骗其他鸟类为其孵化幼鸟的。所以“How cuckoos fool other birds(布谷鸟是如何欺骗其他鸟类的)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选A项。

【答案】36. G 37. C 38. F 39. A 40. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何高效学习的几点建议。
【36题详解】
根据本空前的“Studying longer does not necessarily mean studying better.”可知，学习时间长并不意味着学得更好，下文又介绍了高效学习的几点建议，故G项（为了充分利用时间，你需要学会如何高效地学习）符合语境。
【37题详解】
根据本空前的“The first thing you need to do is avoid distractions (分散注意力的事物) while studying.”可知，你需要做的第一件事就是避开学习时分散注意力的事物，故C项（这意味着去一个能给你带来平静的地方）符合语境。
【38题详解】
根据本空前的“As a general rule, assign (分配) at least one hour to each subject.”可知，每个科目至少安排一小时，故F项（如果你有一个宽泛的科目，你需要把它分成更小的部分）符合语境。
【39题详解】
根据本空前的“you should arrange study breaks.”可知，你应该安排学习时的休息时间，故A项（每两个小时休息15分钟）符合语境。
【40题详解】
根据本段后的“Just in case you run out of time to study, or if you think you do not have enough time to cover all topics, you should study in an order.”可知，如果你认为你没有足够的时间完成所有的科目，以防你用光学习时间，你应当有序地学习，故B项（学会按照重要性安排科目）符合语境。
【点睛】过渡句是七选五的常见考点，被选选项一定要起到承上启下的过渡作用，既要对应上问话题，又要引出下文（通常是方法或建议），例如本篇第1题，上文提到学习时间长并不意味着学得更好，下文又介绍了如何高效学习的几点建议，G项（为了充分利用时间，你需要学会如何高效地学习）既对应了上文提到的学习时间这一话题，又引出了下文高效学习的几点建议，符合语境。

Central Park is New York’s largest city park and one of the biggest in the world, with an area of 843 acres. This park is home to man-made lakes, waterfalls, grass and wooded areas. You will also find the Central Park Zoo, among other attractions in this green space of New York.
Besides being the city’s primary green lungs, Central Park is also a favorite spot for many New Yorkers. It is perfect for sunbathing, going for walks, or doing outdoor sports. Something that we found curious is seeing so many people running with their babies in prams (婴儿车).

To get to know some of the wildest parts of Central Park we suggest walking. However, to get a general feel for the whole park, the best thing to do is to hire a bicycle and enjoy the scenery.
If you decide to hire a bike, you will find lots of bike rental stores around Central Park that are not very expensive.
Open Time
From 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekends. From 6 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on weekdays.
Price
Entry to the Park is free. But if you visit some parks like Central Park Zoo, you need to buy a ticket.
Transport
Subway: Line 5, 6, 7, A, B, C and D. Bus: Line M1, M2, M3, M4 and M10.

Many years ago, my dad was facing a serious heart condition. He was unable to do a steady job. He fell suddenly ill and had to be admitted to the hospital.
He wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children’s hospital. My dad loved kids. It was the perfect job for him. He ended up working with the seriously ill children. He would talk, play, and do arts with them.
One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed (瘫痪) her from the neck down. She couldn’t do anything, and she was very depressed. My dad decided to try to help her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn’t use his hands at all. All the while he would tell her, “See, you can do anything you set your mind to.”At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do for her. My dad also left the children’s hospital for a little while because he became ill. Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work, in came the little girl who had been paralyzed and only this time she was walking. She ran straight over to my dad and hugged him really tight. She gave him a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read: “Thank you for helping me walk.”
My dad would cry every time he told us this story and so would we. He would say sometimes love is more powerful than doctor, and my dad—who died just a few months after the little girl gave the picture—loved every single child in that hospital.

By now, most people know they should be eating more vegetables. But are there ways to get more from the vegetables you already eat A research shows that when it comes to vegetables, it’s not only how much we eat, but also how we prepare them, that decides the vitamins and other nutrients that enter our body.
Many studies show that people who eat lots of vegetables have less heart disease, and eye problems and even cancer. But raw vegetables are not always best. The researchers found that 198 Germans who eat raw food were short of lycopene, the matter found in tomatoes and other red vegetables. “There is an idea that raw foods are always going to be better,” says Steven K. Clinton, a professor at Ohi o State University. “For fruits and vegetables, sometimes a little bit of cooking can be helpful.”
A number of factors decide how the vegetables do good to people’s health before they reach the table, including where and how they were grown and stored before being bought. No single cooking way is best. Some nutrients are easily lost in cooking if they are cooked in different ways.
Vitamins C and B are often lost. In January, another report said that boiling was better for carrots than frying or serving them raw. Frying was the worst way to cook.
What cooked with the vegetables can also be important When the vegetables were cooked with fat, the diners can get more nutrients. Fat can also make the taste of vegetables better, meaning that people will eat more of them. Putting on some other things that make it taste better—a little salt—can make the food taste better.
28. The writer mainly wants to tell us that ________.
A. people should eat more vegetables
B. the way people eat vegetables is important
C. eating vegetables is good for us
D. how much vegetables one should eat
29. The people who eat the raw vegetables for a long time will ________.
A. have the eyes problems B. have heart disease
C. be in need of lycopene D. hate eating tomatoes
30. The following decide how the vegetables do good to people EXCEPT ________.
A the place where the vegetables are grown
B. the way how the vegetables are stored
C. the way how the vegetables are prepared
D. the price at which the vegetable are sold
31. From the last paragraph, we can know ________.
A. It’s better to cook vegetables with fat
B. the more fat in the cooking, the fewer vegetables people will eat
C. It’s better to cook the vegetables without salt
D. the fat will increase the nutrition of the vegetables
D
Cuckoos (布谷鸟) are masters of cheating. When it comes to raising young, they don’t spend the energy building a nest, protecting eggs or feeding children. Instead the female passes these roles on to other birds. They don’t raise their own young. Usually, they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, fooling other birds into thinking the cuckoo eggs are theirs.
To succeed in doing this, a female cuckoo watches over her chosen nest to observe feeding times. When the host parent leaves its nest in search of food, the cuckoo quickly lays her eggs among those already in the nest. Sometimes, she will even destroy and remove one of the host’s eggs to make room for her own.
Cuckoos are medium-sized birds with long tails, and often have gray or brown backs. When they hatch (孵化) and begin to grow in a host’s nest, the difference between the two can be obvious to an onlooker. Often the cuckoo is twice the size of its foster (收养的) parents, but still continues to receive food from them.
The cuckoo imposter (冒名顶替者) is usually the only baby bird that the host parent has to care for. This is because when the cuckoo hatches after around 11 days, it gets rid of all the other eggs in the nest. It will lift each egg onto its back before throwing them one by one over the edge of the nest. Even then, the non-biological parent will continue to treat it as one of its own.
Also, cuckoos have developed to produce eggs that are similar in color to their main hosts’. This reduces the chances of eggs being attacked. Female cuckoos have been known to take host birds’ attention away after laying their eggs by producing a noise similar to Eurasian sparrowhawks, scaring birds away from returning to the nest and allowing time for the cuckoo to make her escape unnoticed.
32. What do mother cuckoos usually do when it comes to raising their young
A. Attend to eggs. B. Build a new nest. C. Depend on other birds. D. Learn feeding skills.
33. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Other cuckoos. B. Baby cuckoos. C. Birth parents. D. Host parents.
34. What can be inferred about the cuckoo imposter
A. It usually hatches out earlier than the other eggs in the nest.
B. It throws all the other eggs out of nest with its mother’s help.
C. It often makes a noise to scare other birds away from the nest.
D. It looks much larger than other eggs in the nest before hatching.
35. What is the text mainly talking about
A. How cuckoos fool other birds. B. How cuckoos protect their children.
C. How cuckoos destroy others’ nests. D. How cuckoos produce eggs in host nests.
