Ⅰ.阅读理解(建议用时15′)
A
[2016·育才中学联考二]I
went
to
the
Tsavo
National
Park
in
northern
Kenya
for
a
film.
We
set
off
early
for
a
distant
water
hole.
A
huge
elephant
covered
with
dry
mud,
drank
calmly
and
deeply.
He
might
have
traveled
50
km
to
reach
the
water.
He
wasn't
going
to
hurry
now.
He'd
drink
a
while
and
rest
in
the
shade,
and
then
drink
again
or
so
we
thought.
What
actually
happened
was
that
he
drank
deeply
and
stepped
away.
Then
he
suddenly
fell
down.
Within
minutes
he
was
dead.
We
called
animal
doctor
Jeremiah
Poghon
immediately.
He
removed
the
head
of
a
poisoned
arrow
from
the
elephant's
body,
and
let
out
over
100
liters
of
pus
(胺)－the
result
of
the
elephant's
meeting
with
a
poacher
(偷猎者)
months
before.
Today's
poacher
shoots
from
a
blind.
He
fires
an
arrow,
covered
with
poison,
into
the
body
of
an
elephant.
If
the
poacher
is
lucky,
the
elephant
might
die
in
an
hour
or
two；
if
not,
he
might
have
to
follow
the
elephant
for
days
before
it
dies.
Often
the
arrow
head
fails
to
kill
the
elephant
at
once－it
doesn't
mean
the
poison
won't
finally
kill
the
elephant,
but
it
will
be
a
slow
death.
Living
in
Tsavo
through
these
times,
I
could
see
the
results
of
poaching
from
time
to
time.
When
I
think
about
the
death
of
that
elephant,
what
stays
with
me
is
the
extraordinary
silence
after
the
shocking
sound
of
his
body
hitting
the
ground.
I
took
some
comfort
from
the
knowledge
that
as
the
dead
body
returned
to
the
soil,
some
animals
would
benefit－but
I
couldn't
escape
the
feeling
that
with
the
death
of
such
a
large
animal,
the
world
seemed
to
be
a
poorer
and
emptier
place.

[2016·昆明市摸底调研]The
expression“a
thirst
for
knowledge”
may
soon
have
a
new
meaning
for
millions
of
people
who
have
no
way
to
get
clean
water.
Researchers
have
developed
a
book
with
specially
treated
pages
that
can
turn
dirty
water
into
clean
and
drinkable
water.
They
say
their
invention
could
improve
the
lives
of
many
in
the
developing
world.
About
700
million
people
around
the
world
are
at
risk
of
disease
or
even
death
because
their
drinking
water
is
not
clean.
The
water
is
polluted
by
harmful
bacteria.
The
book
contains
25
pages.
Each
page
is
about
one
millimeter
thick.
The
pages
contain
very
small
particles
(微粒)
of
silver.
The
pages
can
be
used
as
filters
(过滤器)
to
remove
harmful
microorganisms
(微生物)
that
can
pollute
drinking
water.
The
filter
kills
the
organisms
that
pass
through
it.
Pictures
on
the
pages
show
the
dangers
of
dirty
water
and
how
to
use
the
book
for
those
unable
to
read.
The
pages
are
made
of
filter
paper.
They
are
designed
to
be
torn
from
the
book.
Water
can
be
poured
through
the
paper
to
be
cleaned.
Ms
Dankovich,
the
inventor,
says
each
page
can
treat
up
to
100
liters
of
water.
She
recently
presented
her
invention
at
the
meeting
of
the
American
Chemical
Society
in
Boston,
Massachusetts.
She
was
asked
whether
she
had
considered
adding
classic
literature
on
the
book's
pages.
“The
idea
of
classic
texts—that's
of
interest
maybe
later.
We
have
discussed
a
little
bit
more
exciting
text.
But
we
really
haven't
had
the
time
to
go
through
that_part，”
she
says.
Teri
Dankovich
and
another
researcher
tested
the
drinkable
book
in
Bangladesh,
Ghana
and
South
Africa.
The
tests
proved
to
be
successful.
Water
for
Life,
a
non－governmental
organization,
has
provided
financial
support
for
the
project.
面临着饮用水被污染的现象，科学家发明了一种特殊的纸张，可把脏水过滤成能饮用的水来提高人民的生活质量。

has
pages
with
several
functions.
C．It
is

protection.
D．It

in

6

7．In
which
country
did
not
the
researchers
test
the
drinkable
book
A．Bangladesh.
B．Ghana.

仿写：Elephants
have
their
own
way
to
tell
the
shape
of
an
object
and
whether_it_is_rough_or_smooth.
大象有自己的方法来辨别物体的形状，它还可以辨别物体是粗糙的还是光滑的。
Ⅱ.七选五(建议用时8′)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
[2016·安徽示范高中联考]Many
people
write
to
newspapers
and
magazines
to
express
their
opinions.
Letters
to
the
editor
must
carry
the
writer's
full
name，address
and
telephone
number,
although
the
information
is
not
necessary
for
publication.
This
requirement
to
provide
personal
particulars
is
a
clear
indication
that
the
writers
are
held
responsible
for
what
they
say.
When
a
writer
wants
his
voice
heard,
he
needs
to
claim
ownership
of
his
voice.
__1__
“People
today
prefer
living
together
to
putting
their
signatures
on
a
marriage
certificate
because
they
refuse
to
accept
responsibility
for
the
relationship，”said
social
worker
Ken
Yip，“and
this
is
what
is
causing
a
lot
of
family
problems.”When
we
sign
a
paper,
for
example,
a
business
contract
or
a
bank
document,
the
signature
is
a
seal
of
consent,
an
agreement
to
take
the
matter
seriously.
__2__
The
absence
of
a
signature,
they
explain,
tells
us
that
the
writer
cannot
be
too
serious
and
therefore
does
not
deserve
a
reply.
__3__Multi－billionaire
Mr
King
donates
generously
to
charity
several
times
a
year.
He
gives
simply
because
he
wants
to
help
but
not
for
the
publicity
his
donations
may
bring,
and
he
does
not
want
his
good
deeds
to
make
news.
In
other
cases,
people
insist
on
anonymity
because
they
are
afraid
of
the
consequences
of
revealing
their
identity.
__4__
__5__
The
answer
is
very
personal
and
lies
in
how
much
we
want
to
get
involved.
We
all
have
a
name.
It
is
a
matter
of
responsibility
to
use
it
when
we
make
a
statement，a
claim
or
an
accusation.
We
all
want
to
honor
our
own
names,
and
it
is
only
by
stamping
our
expression
of
an
opinion
with
our
own
name
that
we
honor
what
we
say.
A．Crime
witnesses
may
be
willing
to
assist
the
police,
but
most
are
unwilling
to
give
their
names
when
reporting
a
crime.
B．Sometimes
we
have
no
idea
when
to
sign
our
names.
C．What's
the
meaning
of
your
name
D．Responsibility
is
the
name
of
the
game.
E．Name
or
no
name
F．Most
governments
and
many
organizations
will
not
process
written
complains
if
they
do
not
bear
the
writer's
signature.
G．There
are
people
who
wish
to
remain
anonymous
(匿名的)
for
various
reasons.
本文阐述的是在当今社会签署姓名的重要意义。
1．D　根据空格所处的位置可知，该题应选择概括第一段内容的主题句，结合上文的内容可以判断D项正确。
2．F　根据上文讲述的商业合同以及银行文件需要签署姓名，可以得知答案为F项，内容相似。
3．G　下文的内容表明，此段讲述的是匿名的几种情况，故选G项。
4．A　结合3空的主题内容以及空前讲述的几种匿名的情况，可知答案是A。
5．E　根据下文“The
answer
is...”可知该空是一个问题，结合上下文可知这里是议论是否该留下姓名，故选E项。
Ⅲ.语法填空(建议用时8′)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
[2016·唐山摸底考试]Why

本文讲述的是一种新型的问候方式，在土豆上留言，并通过电子途径发给收件人。
1．potatoes　考查名词。根据空格前为形容词，后为介词，可知此处填名词复数(注意变化规则)。
2．to
make　考查非谓语动词。the
chance
to
do
sth.“不定式作定语”。
3．usually　考查词性转换。修饰动词应用副词。
4．which　考查非限制性定语从句。从句中缺少主语且指物，故用关系代词which。
5．with　考查介词。此处后面为名词，且无提示词，通常为介词，结合语义可知填with，“使用……”。
6．is
mailed　考查动词时态和语态。mail与potato之间为被动关系，且全文用一般现在时态，故填is
mailed。
7．included　考查非谓语动词。include与cash之间为被动关系，且位于名词之后，故填included。
8．an　考查冠词。空前为系动词，空后为“形容词＋名词”，故此处为冠词，表示泛指(a/an区别)。
9．their　考查代词。of
one's
own意为“某人自己的”，结合句子主语，可知填their。
10．best　考查形容词等级。空前为the，结合词意可知，此处表示收到的最好的东西。
Ⅳ.书面表达(建议用时20′)
[2016·皖南八校联考一]假设你是Abby，是学校英文报社“知心学长”栏目主编。一位叫Sophia的学妹来信反映自己有“拖延”的坏习惯。即使她有很多如做作业、弹琴等重要的事要做，也总是不由自主地把时间花在看电视、玩手机等琐事上，为此她非常苦恼。请用英文给她回信，提一些建议。
内容包括：1.拖延的本质；
2.改正的建议。
注意：1.词数100左右；
2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；
3.文章的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。
参考词汇：procrastination
n．拖延，耽搁
Dear
Sophia，
I
am
glad
to
hear
from
you.
_________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In
a
word,
don't
spoil
yourself.
Although
you
have
a
long
way
to
go,
the
first
step
is
very
essential.
Good
luck!
Yours，
Abby
One
possible
version：
Dear_Sophia，
I_am_glad_to_hear_from_you.
To
be
honest,
I
sometimes
have
the
same
experience
as
you.
But
you
have
to
know
that
procrastination
is
the
thief
of
time.
The
following
advice
may
help
you
overcome
it
soon.
The
most
effective
means
to
solve
the
problem
is
that
you
can
make
a
“to
do”
list.
For
example,
you
can
write
“Finish
homework
before
Saturday
night”
on
your
plan.
If
you
manage
to
finish
it,
you
can
reward
yourself.
Otherwise,
punish
yourself.
What's
more,
you
can
find
a
person
to
remind
you
to
finish
work
at
any
time.
Then
you
can
arrange
your
most
important
work
at
efficient
times,
like
8－10
o'clock.
Different
people
base
different
efficient
times.
But
it
doesn't
matter
what
time
it
is.
Just
don't
waste
time,
following
the
schedule
strictly.
Last
but
not
the
least,
do
it
now,
just
from
now.
In_a_word,_don't_spoil_yourself._Although_you_have_a_long_way_to_go,_the_first_step_is_very_essential._Good_luck!
Yours，
