B
“I am not crazy，”says Dr．William Farber，shortly after performing acupuncture(针灸) on a rabbit．“I am ahead of my time．”If he seems a little defensive，it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods．But Farber is certain he'll have the last laugh．He's one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians(兽医) now practicing “holistic”medicine—combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic(按摩疗法)and herbal medicine．
Farber，a graduate of Colorado State University，started out as a more conventional veterinarian．He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain．He tried muscle relaxing drugs but found little relief．Then he tried acupuncture，an ancient Chinese practice，and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments．What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients．So，after studying the techniques for a couple of years，he began offering them to pets．
Leigh Tindale's dog Charlie had a serious heart condition．After Charlie had a heart attack，Tindale says，she was prepared to put him to sleep，but Farber's treatments eased her dog's suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months． And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse，Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment．
Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time，and if the past is any indication，he may be right：Since 1982，membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700．“Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well，”he says．“I will do anything to help an animal．That's my job．”
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了兽医Dr．William Farber正在利用“整体”医学来治疗动物，“整体”医学就是将传统的西方疗法与针灸、按摩疗法和草药结合起来。
24．What do some of Farber's coworkers think of him
A．He's odd． B．He's strict．
C．He's brave． D．He's rude．
A　[细节理解题。根据第一段中的“even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods”可知，他的一些同事会嘲笑他的不寻常的治疗方法，所以Farber的一些同事认为他很古怪。故选A项。]
25．Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets
A．He was trained in it at university．
B．He was inspired by another veterinarian．
C．He benefited from it as a patient．
D．He wanted to save money for pet owners．
C　[推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，20年前，Farber患上了严重的背痛，他尝试了肌肉放松药物，但收效甚微。后来，他尝试了针灸，惊奇地发现经过两三次治疗后，他的疼痛有所缓解。所以他决定给他的“病人”使用针灸疗法。也就是说，他自己从针灸中受益。故选C项。]
26．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A．Steps of a chiropractic treatment．
B．The complexity of veterinarians' work．
C．Examples of rare animal diseases．
D．The effectiveness of holistic medicine．
D　[段落大意题。第三段主要举了两个Farber利用“整体”医学有效治疗动物的例子。这也是整体医学所取得的效果。故选D项。]
27．Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association
A．To prove Farber's point．
B．To emphasize its importance．
C．To praise veterinarians．
D．To advocate animal protection．
A　[推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Farber is certain．．．Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700．”可知，自1982年以来，美国整体兽医医学协会的会员从30个增加到700多个。这说明美国整体兽医医学逐渐受到欢迎，证明了Farber利用“整体”医学来治疗动物是正确的。故选A项。]
C
Is comprehension the same whether a person reads a text onscreen or on paper？And are listening to and viewing content as effective as reading the written word when covering the same material？The answers to both questions are often “no．”The reasons relate to a variety of factors，including reduced concentration，an entertainment mindset(心态)and a tendency to multitask while consuming digital content．
When reading texts of several hundred words or more，learning is generally more successful when it's on paper than onscreen．A large amount of research confirms this finding． The benefits of print reading particularly shine_through when experimenters move from posing simple tasks—like identifying the main idea in a reading passage—to ones that require mental abstraction—such as drawing inferences from a text．
The differences between print and digital reading results are partly related to paper's physical properties．With paper，there is a literal laying on of hands，along with the visual geography of distinct pages．People often link their memory of what they've read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page．
But equally important is the mental aspect．Reading researchers have proposed a theory called “shallowing hypothesis(假说)．” According to this theory，people approach digital texts with a mindset suited to social media，which are often not so serious，and devote less mental effort than when they are reading print．
Audio(音频) and video can feel more engaging than text，and so university teachers increasingly turn to these technologies—say，assigning an online talk instead of an article by the same person．However，psychologists have demonstrated that when adults read news stories，they remember more of the content than if they listen to or view identical pieces．
Digital texts，audio and video all have educational roles，especially when providing resources not available in print．However，for maximizing learning where mental focus and reflection are called for，educators shouldn't assume all media are the same，even when they contain identical words．
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。本文作者认为印刷文本比电子类文本更有利于学习。
28．What does the underlined phrase “shine through”in paragraph 2 mean
A．Seem unlikely to last．
B．Seem hard to explain．
C．Become ready to use．
D．Become easy to notice．
D　[词义猜测题。根据第二段的第一句可知，当阅读几百字或更多文字的文本时，在纸上学习通常比在屏幕上更成功。画线短语所在句句意为：当实验者从完成简单的任务(如确定阅读段落的主要思想)到需要抽象思想的任务(如从文本中推断)时，印刷文本阅读的益处尤为明显。由此可知，shine though表示“表现出来，容易注意到”。故选D项。]
29．What does the shallowing hypothesis assume
A．Readers treat digital texts lightly．
B．Digital texts are simpler to understand．
C．People select digital texts randomly．
D．Digital texts are suitable for social media．
A　[细节理解题。根据第四段中的“According to this theory, people approach digital texts with a mindset suited to social media, which are often not so serious, and devote less mental effort than when they are reading print．”可知，这个“假说”认为：人们接触数字文本时，心态与处理方式往往与不那么严肃的社交媒体相似，他们投入的精力也较少。故选A项。]
30．Why are audio and video increasingly used by university teachers
A．They can hold students' attention．
B．They are more convenient to prepare．
C．They help develop advanced skills．
D．They are more informative than text．
A　[推理判断题。根据第五段第一句中的“Audio and video can feel more engaging than text”可知，因为音频和视频比文本更吸引人，所以大学老师使用越来越多的音频和视频。故选A项。]
31．What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A．Students should apply multiple learning techniques．
B．Teachers should produce their own teaching material．　
C．Print texts cannot be entirely replaced in education．
D．Education outside the classroom cannot be ignored．
C　[推理判断题。最后一段中However后面的内容是作者要强调的内容。作者认为：为了最大限度地提高需要集中注意力和反思的学习效果，教育者不应该假设所有媒体都是一样的，即使它们包含相同的词汇。作者还是强调印刷书籍的作用不可替代。故选C项。]
D
In the race to document the species on Earth before they go extinct，researchers and citizen scientists have collected billions of records．Today，most records of biodiversity are often in the form of photos，videos，and other digital records．Though they are useful for detecting shifts in the number and variety of species in an area，a new Stanford study has found that this type of record is not perfect．
“With the rise of technology it is easy for people to make observations of different species with the aid of a mobile application，” said Barnabas Daru，who is lead author of the study and assistant professor of biology in the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences． “These observations now outnumber the primary data that comes from physical specimens(标本)，and since we are increasingly using observational data to investigate how species are responding to global change，I wanted to know：Are they usable？”
Using a global dataset of 1.9 billion records of plants，insects，birds，and animals，Daru and his team tested how well these data represent actual global biodiversity patterns．
“We were particularly interested in exploring the aspects of sampling that tend to bias(使有偏差)data，like the greater likelihood of a citizen scientist to take a picture of a flowering plant instead of the grass right next to it，” said Daru．
Their study revealed that the large number of observation only records did not lead to better global coverage．Moreover，these data are biased and favor certain regions，time periods, and species．This makes sense because the people who get observational biodiversity data on mobile devices are often citizen scientists recording their encounters with species in areas nearby．These data are also biased toward certain species with attractive or eye catching features．
What can we do with the imperfect datasets of biodiversity
“Quite a lot，”Daru explained．“Biodiversity apps can use our study results to inform users of oversampled areas and lead them to places—and even species—that are not well sampled． To improve the quality of observational data，biodiversity apps can also encourage users to have an expert confirm the identification of their uploaded image．”
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。本文主要说明以照片、视频和其他数字形式记录的大多数生物多样性的记录并不完美。
32．What do we know about the records of species collected now
A．They are becoming outdated．
B．They are mostly in electronic form．
C．They are limited in number．
D．They are used for public exhibition．
B　[细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Today, most records of biodiversity are often in the form of photos, videos, and other digital records．”可知，目前大多数生物多样性的记录通常以照片、视频和其他数字记录的形式出现。这说明这些记录主要是电子形式的。故选B项。]
33．What does Daru's study focus on
A．Threatened species．
B．Physical specimens．
C．Observational data．
D．Mobile applications．
C　[推理判断题。根据第二段中Daru说的话可知，他的研究越来越多地使用观察数据来调查物种是如何对全球变化做出反应的，故选C项。]
34．What has led to the biases according to the study
A．Mistakes in data analysis．
B．Poor quality of uploaded pictures．
C．Improper way of sampling．
D．Unreliable data collection devices．
C　[细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，不恰当的采样方式导致了偏差。故选C项。]
35．What is Daru's suggestion for biodiversity apps
A．Review data from certain areas．
B．Hire experts to check the records．
C．Confirm the identity of the users．
D．Give guidance to citizen scientists．
D　[细节理解题。根据最后一段Daru的解释，生物多样性应用程序可以使用他们的研究结果来告知用户哪些区域被过度采样，并引导他们到那些采样不足的地方或物种进行采样。生物多样性应用程序也可以鼓励用户让专家确认他们上传的图像的身份。这表明他的建议是生物多样性应用程序为平民科学家提供指导。故选D项。]
第二节　(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Not all great writers are great spellers．If you want to be published，it's vital to submit a perfect，professionally presented manuscript(原稿)．__36__ No editor is likely to tolerate a writer who does not take the trouble to spell words correctly．
I keep two reference books close by on my desk：dictionary and thesaurus(同义词词典)． I don't trust my laptop's spellchecker．__37__ Of course，these days there are plenty of online dictionaries and thesauruses，but I'm old fashioned enough to prefer a hard cover and pages I can leaf through with my fingers．I use the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Collins Thesaurus．
__38__ It should give you a precise definition of each word，thus differentiating it from other words whose meanings are similar，but not identical．It will also usually show how the word is pronounced．
In addition，I have an old two volume copy of the Shorter Oxford Dictionary，picked up a few years ago in a bookshop sale for just 99 pence．Of course，with its 2，672 pages，it's not exactly short．It contains around 163，000 words，plus word combinations and idiomatic phrases．__39__ However，if I need to check the origin of a word or to look up examples of its usage，there's nothing better．
For well over a hundred years the most influential English dictionary was Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language published in 1755．“To make dictionaries is dull(乏味)work，”wrote Johnson，illustrating one definition of “dull”． __40__ A few minutes spent casting your eye over a page or two can be a rewarding experience．
A．I don't often use this dictionary．
B．It takes no account of the context．
C．But I still don't want to replace them．
D．But a dictionary can be a pleasure to read．
E．Of course，a dictionary is not only for spelling．
F．That means good grammar and no spelling mistakes．
G．Dictionaries don't always give you enough information．
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。作者主要说明自己喜欢用纸质词典以及使用这种词典的好处。
36．F　[空前面一句提到：如果你想发表作品，提交一份完美、专业的手稿是至关重要的。F选项表示：这意味着语法不错和没有拼写错误。F选项是对前面一句的补充说明，阐明一份完美、专业的手稿是什么样子的。故选F项。]
37．B　[空前一句提到：“我”不信任“我”的笔记本电脑的拼写检查器。因此设空处应说明检测器不好的一方面。B选项表示：它不考虑上下文。B选项中的“It”指代前面的“spellchecker”。故选B项。]
38．E　[空后面两句话说明词典应该有准确的释义和读音。后面两句话的主语都是It，设空处应该提到It所指代的物。E选项表示：当然，词典不仅仅是用于拼写的。后面两句中的It指代E选项中的“a dictionary”，且E选项的意思和下文相辅相成。故选E项。]
39．A　[空前内容提到：作者买了两卷本的老词典，有2 672页，含有大约163 000个词条。空后面一句提到：然而，如果我需要检查一个单词的起源或查找其用法的例子，没有什么比这更好的了。由此可知，设空处应表示作者不是经常使用这套比较古老厚重的词典，与后面形成转折。故选A项。]
40．D　[空前一句提到编写词典是枯燥的。空后一句提到花几分钟时间看一两页词典会是一次很有意义的经历。由此可知，设空处应表示看词典的好处。D选项表示：但读词典是一件乐事。D选项承上启下。故选D项。]

So I __47__ cycling．I got a good bike and rode a lot．I __48__ of entering cycle races until I flew to San Diego to visit my sister．While she was at work one day，I __49__ her bike and went for a ride．The __50__：The roads there went through large valleys where I'd be riding uphill for miles at a time．I'd never faced such __51__ ．That day，I got __52__ by about 100“local”bikers who were used to such roads．When I got back home，suddenly riding my bike didn't seem quite as __53__．

60．walks　[考查时态和主谓一致。设空处在句中作谓语。根据后面的句子中的谓语可知，此处用一般现在时。句子主语是“the Silk Route Garden”，是单数形式，所以谓语用第三人称单数形式。故填walks。]
61．the　[考查冠词。for the first time意思是“第一次”，是固定搭配。故填the。]
62．favourites　[考查名词复数。根据“such as”后面列举的多个事物，所以最喜爱的东西不止一个，用favourite的复数形式。故填favourites。]
63．as　[考查介词。stand as意为“作为……而存在”。故填 as。]
64．that/which　[考查定语从句。 分析句子结构可知，“________ brought the plants from their native habitat in Asia to come to．．．England”是限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the Silk Route。设空处在定语从句中作主语，故填关系代词that/which。]
65．richness　[考查词性转换。根据空前面的“much of the”以及空后面的“of”可知，此处需填名词，且是不可数名词。rich的名词形式是richness，意思是“丰富”。故填richness。]

Dear_Chris，
I'm_writing_to_share_with_you_an_art_class_I_had_in_a_park_last_Friday．_
We were asked to draw or paint something that impressed us most． Inspired by the fantastic scenery, I determined to create a watercolor painting of the pond in the park． With trees reflected in the clear water, it was really fascinating． After I finished it, my art teacher thought highly of it because it was true to life．
The experience was meaningful． Being exposed to nature not only sparked my creativity but also made me admire scenery． In a word, this special art class got me to love nature as well as art．
Yours，
Li_Hua
第二节　(满分25分)
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。
I met Gunter on a cold，wet and unforgettable evening in September．I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference．Due to a big storm，my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half．I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague．The moment I got off the plane，I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought．
That was when I met Gunter．I told him where I was going，but he said he hadn't heard of the bus station．I thought my pronunciation was the problem，so I explained again more slowly, but he still looked confused．When I was about to give up，Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend．After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century, Gunter put his phone down and started the car．
Finally，with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station．Thankfully，there was a long queue(队列) still waiting to board the bus．Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus，turned around，and looked at me with a big smile on his face．“We made it，” he said．
Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet．I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard．He tried it several times，but the card machine just did not play along．A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out．
At this moment，Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station．There，at the entrance，was a cash machine．I jumped out of the car，made a mad run for the machine，and popped my card in，only to read the message：“Out of order．Sorry．”
