Ⅳ. 阅读理解
A
The third theme of geography is movement. As people travel around the world, exchanging goods, ideas and interests, the global community is transformed. Take surfing, for example. The sport originated in Hawaii centuries ago. Today, the cry “Surf up!” can be heard along coastlines everywhere.
Europeans were the first Westerners to observe the sport. In 1779, Captain Cook, a British explorer, and his crew sailed around the Sandwich Islands (Now Hawaii). Near the rocky coast of the Big Island, they witnessed a man riding a wave while standing on a board.
Cook was stricken by what he saw. Hawaiians would anticipate good waves and hold ceremonies when building surfboards. Their boards were built according to rank: Chiefs used long boards (16 to 18 feet long), while commoners used shorter ones (6 to 8 feet long).
After the arrival of Europeans, Hawaiian surf culture declined. Many Hawaiians died of European-borne diseases. Also, the belief that surfing was “ignorant fun” was widely spread.
These conditions changed after Hawaii became a United States territory in 1900. (It became a state in 1959.) Travellers to the islands brought back stories of wave riding. Tales of the thrilling sport spread across the US, then to the rest of the world.
Today, surfing is the king of board sports. The world has nearly 8,000 “surf spots” in 136 countries on 6 continents. The Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) holds an annual world tour in which top riders compete for millions of enthusiasts of the waves.
Top 5 countries with surf spots
Country No. of Spots
United States 1,375

South Africa 575
France 352
New Zealand 338

C. In America. D. In France.

2. Which of the following is TRUE
A. Captain Cook was interested in surfing.
B. There are no surf spots in Asia.
C. In Hawaii, everyone was equal in sports.
D. Surfing is the third theme of geography.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段的“Cook was stricken by what he saw.”可知,他对冲浪很感兴趣;根据最后一段的“The world has nearly 8,000 ‘surf spots’ in 136 countries on 6 continents.”可知,B项错误;根据第三段的“Their boards were built according to rank”可知,他们的冲浪板是按等级建造的,因此C项错误;根据第一段的“The third theme of geography is movement.”可知,地理的第三个主题是运动,不是冲浪,因此D项错误。故选A。
答案:A
3. What does the underlined word in the fourth paragraph probably mean
A. Excited Europeans.

My doctor took me for a walk around the farm where she lives. I was physically and mentally exhausted and discouraged.
The farm was full of life. There were insects, horses, rabbits, and cats. She told me to focus on my body in the environment. When I was ill, I intended to escape from the reality. So I expected nothing when meeting the horse named Fira.
As I got closer to Fira, she nuzzled(用鼻子爱抚) my chest, putting a gentle pressure over my heart. Something happened inside me: I felt as if I had reached a wellspring(源泉) of my fears, hurts and failures. I began to melt emotionally in an uncommon way. I patted Fira’s nose and breathed in her smell. Fira helped me feel loved and safe. After that, I began working with Fira often, learning basic communication and leading methods to work together with her. She connected with me by responding to my emotional state and reflecting it back to me in an open, friendly way.
In my meetings with Fira, I learned to live in the present, to focus on what was happening this day, at this moment, in this place. I learned to forget the past, with all its hurt. I learned to forget the future, which hadn’t happened yet. I found deep peace in leading her along the path, by using my own power to judge whether to start, stop, turn left or turn right. I found inner quiet and even joy. My work with this horse was part of a journey out of a very dark night in my soul.
5. What did the author think of Fira at the very beginning
A. Grateful. B. Interested.
C. Worried. D. Unconcerned.
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“So I expected nothing when meeting the horse named Fira.” 可知,作者最开始认为这匹叫菲拉的马不会对自己的状况有什么帮助,由此推知,作者起初应对菲拉不感兴趣的。unconcerned意为“不关心的;不感兴趣的”。故选D。

A. She felt afraid and Fira hurt her.
B. She realized how to live in the present.
C. She was touched mentally in a special way.
D. She learned basic communication methods with horses.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段第二、三句可知,菲拉接近作者时, 作者感到自己的内心开始以一种不同寻常的方式融化,即菲拉用一种特别的方式在精神上打动了作者。C项中的“mentally”和“special”分别对应第三段第三句中的“emotionally”和“uncommon”。故选C。
答案:C
7. What might be the biggest gain for the author
A. Making friends with a little horse.
B. Learning how to live in the future.
C. Spending a good time with the doctor.
D. Finding deep peace and inner quiet.
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I found deep peace”以及“I found inner quiet and even joy.”可知,作者获得了内心深处的祥和与平静。故选D。
答案:D
8. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Animals are the friends of human beings.
B. The author recovers with the help of Fira.
C. It is a good idea to get close to nature.
D. Some animals have magical abilities.
解析:段落大意题。根据最后一段最后一句“My work with this horse was part of a journey out of a very dark night in my soul.”可知,作者在这匹马的帮助下得以康复。故选B。
答案:B

In 2011, Nancy Ballard went for a routine check-up that turned into something extraordinary. In fact, she was carrying a painting of a plant she’d done when she arrived at her doctor’s San Francisco office. “It would be great if we had artwork like that for our chemotherapy(化疗) rooms,” the nurse said. Ballard asked to see one.
She was shocked by what she found. The walls were dull and bare, and the paint was falling. It was a depressing room for a depressing routine—patients were restricted to chemo drips for perhaps several hours, often with nothing to look at other than those sad walls. Ballard didn’t have cancer herself, but she could sympathize with the patients. “I couldn’t imagine how anyone could even think about getting healthy in a room like that,” she says. As it happened, Ballard’s physician, Stephen Hufford, was ill with cancer himself, so finding time to decorate the rooms was low on his to-do list. So Ballard made it her task to brighten up the place.
She started by emailing 20 local designers. “I wrote, ‘You don’t know me. But my heart hurts after seeing these rooms,’” she remembers. She then asked whether they would donate their time and money to transform just one of Dr Hufford’s rooms each.
As it happened, six of them wrote back almost immediately. Six rooms got new paint, light fixtures, artwork and furniture. Dr Hufford was delighted. “All the patients feel relieved of the pain because of it,” he said. He even noted that his own tone of voice was different in the rooms and that he was better able to connect with his patients.
Ballard was so encouraged by the patients’ reactions that she created a non-profit organization to raise money and decorate more spaces. Since then, she has worked on 20 projects, including one in Pennsylvania. “We were in Philadelphia for a ribbon-cutting(剪彩), and a woman was there on her third battle with cancer,” says Ballard. “When she saw what we’d done, she said, ‘I’m gonna beat it this time. I thought I wasn’t going to, but now I know I’m gonna beat it.’”
1. What made Ballard decide to help decorate the chemotherapy rooms
A. The request of a nurse in San Francisco.
B. The good relationship with Hufford.
C. Her enthusiasm for room decoration.
D. Her sympathy for cancer patients.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段第四句“Ballard didn’t have cancer herself, but she could sympathize with the patients.”以及最后一句“So Ballard made it her task to brighten up the place.”可知,巴拉德本人没有患癌症,但她同情患者,因此主动承担了让这个地方焕然一新的任务,故选D。
答案:D
2. What outcome does Ballard’s effort bring about
A. More hospitals will be built.
B. Hufford cured more patients.
C. The cancer patients were feeling better.
D. Hufford’s chemotherapy rooms got good fame.
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段第四句“ ‘All the patients feel relieved of the pain because of it,’ he said.”可知,六个房间被重新装修后,所有患者都感到痛苦得到了缓解,故选C。
答案:C
3. Which of the following best describes Nancy Ballard
A. Rich and generous.
B. Loving and devoted.
C. Talented and energetic.
D. Ambitious and creative.
解析:推理判断题。根据全文内容可知,巴拉德自己并未患癌症,但她帮助筹集资金装修化疗室,使患者鼓起生活的勇气,由此可推断,巴拉德是一个有爱心、有奉献精神的人,故选B。
答案:B
4. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Design for Hope
B. Donation for Patients
C. Decoration in Hospital
D. The Battle Against Cancer
解析:标题归纳题。根据全文可知,巴拉德通过募捐集资方式重新装修化疗室,帮助癌症患者鼓起勇气坚强地活下去,巴拉德的努力使癌症患者重新对生活充满希望,所以本文的题目应是“为希望而设计”,故选A。
答案:A

答案:it
2. 解析:句意:成千上万的中国人离开农村去城市里寻找工作。空处表示目的,故用动词不定式to search。

答案:has lived

答案:in

Ⅳ. 阅读理解
A
When I was about twelve, I headed to a restaurant for dinner with my family. It was winter, and on that night the wind was really blowing hard.
As my mum and I headed to the restaurant from our car, a girl about my age and her mother came up to us. They asked if we had any spare change(零钱). My mum right away asked where they lived. They pointed to an old car in a parking lot across the street. The girl said there were six of them living in that car.
My mum said she had something to do after handing the people a few dollars. She sent me inside the restaurant with my dad and my three siblings(兄弟姐妹). But she didn’t come. Later, I found out she had gone home and put all the food in our cupboards into a few bags. Then, she brought that food over to the car and handed the bags to the family. I wasn’t there when that happened, but I can only imagine the joy it brought to those people. A few days later, when I actually found out about what she had done, I asked her why she helped those people. She told me that they were not lucky. I remembered the face of that girl who had asked us for change. She was the same age as me, yet we looked so different.
Here I stood, dressed in almost new clothes, headed to eat in a restaurant and then went back home to the bedroom I shared with my younger sister. I remembered thinking the other girl didn’t have any food to eat and that she was heading back to a cold car shared with five other people.
After painting this picture in my mind, I understood why my mum had done what she did. I will never forget what she did that night, and how she taught me one of the best lessons I have ever learned.

B

8. 解析:空前句指出有希望的人保持积极性和热情,他们能在他们所选择的任何领域成功;空后提到我们能为人们做得最好的服务就是给没有希望的人希望。由此可推知,此处将有希望的人和没希望的人对比,所以A项“没有希望的人是失败者,他们永远不会在人生中获得成功”承上启下。故选A。
答案:A
9. 解析:本空后是问号,所以应该选择疑问句选项。空后句指出希望赋予生命意义,因为没有希望就没有生活的理由,所以F项“希望是生活所必需的吗”引起下文,符合语境。故选F。

A
Henry Stanley is perhaps best known for his expedition into Africa to find Dr David Livingstone, but that’s not the only rescue mission he undertook. In December 1886, Stanley set off for Africa on what would be his last journey: an attempt to find and bring home a German zoologist named Eduard Schnitzer.
Schnitzer had taken the name “Emin Pasha”, in an attempt to be better received by those he was living among. Pasha was cataloguing a host of recently-discovered plant and animal life forms when fighting broke out in the Sudan. Pasha withdrew to the equator, at about the same time the Emin Pasha Relief Committee was formed. In addition to the chief goal of bringing Pasha home, Stanley was also under orders from the King of Belgium to open up some new trade routes in the area.
The roundabout route the Committee ended up taking meant that by the time they finally found Pasha many members of the expedition were dead. Those that did survive were worn, ill, and starving by the time they found Pasha who, in comparison, was well-dressed, clean, and—by some accounts—smoking a three-year-old cigar when they finally found him. He was in need of all support and supplies, but he had neither intent nor desire to leave the area. Arguments arose, causing a firm hatred between Stanley and Pasha.
Stanley finally convinced Pasha to leave with the remains of the expedition, setting off on a demanding trip back through Africa. They finally met up with some German explorers, and made it back to the port town of Bagamoyo in 1889.
During the party they threw to celebrate their return to civilisation, Pasha fell off a balcony and broke his skull. Stanley returned to Europe to receive commendations and congratulations, while Pasha slowly recovered from his unwanted rescue.

答案:D
3. What does the underlined word “commendations” mean in the last paragraph
