A
Plants,
like
animals,
are
easy
to
be
infected
by
diseases
of
various
kinds.It
has
been
estimated
that
some
30,000
different
diseases
attack
our
economic
plants:
forty
are
known
to
attack
corn,
and
about
as
many
attack
wheat.The
results
of
unchecked
plant
disease
are
all
too
obvious
in
countries
which
have
only
a
limited
number
of
food
supplies.The
problem
will
soon
be
more
widespread
as
the
population
of
the
world
increases
at
its
frightening
rate.Even
in
countries
which
are
now
amply
fed
by
their
agricultural
products,
there
could
soon
be
serious
food
shortages.It
is
easy
to
imagine
the
outcome
of
some
disastrous
attack
on
one
of
the
major
crops;
the
resulting
famines
could
kill
millions
of
people,
and
the
resulting
hardship
on
other
millions
could
cause
political
disturbance
disastrous
to
the
order
of
the
world.
Some
plants
are
born
with
the
ability
to
resist
a
great
many
diseases,
while
others
are
fairly
easy
to
be
infected.The
tolerance
(耐受性)
of
a
particular
plant
changes
as
the
growing
conditions
change.A
blight
(枯萎病)
may
be
but
a
local
infection
which
can
be
easily
controlled;
on
the
other
hand,
it
can
attack
particular
plants
in
a
whole
region
or
nation.An
example
is
the
blight
which
killed
actually
every
chestnut
tree
in
North
American.Another
is
the
famous
potato
blight
in
Ireland
in
the
last
century.As
a
result
of
that,
it
was
estimated
that
one
million
people
died
of
starvation
as
potatoes
were
the
main
food
for
Irish
people.
Plant
pathologists
have
made
remarkable
progress
in
identifying
the
pathogens
(病原体)
of
the
various
diseases.Bacteria
may
invade
a
plant
by
way
of
insects
carrying
the
pathogen.A
plant
can
also
be
inoculated
by
man.Frequently
a
primary
infection
will
weaken
the
plant
so
that
a
secondary
infection
may
result
from
its
lack
of
tolerance.The
symptoms
shown
may
cause
an
error
in
diagnosis,
so
that
the
treatment
may
be
directed
toward
bacteria
which
could
be
the
result
of
a
susceptibility
caused
by
a
primary
virus
infection.
1.How
many
diseases
are
known
to
attack
wheat
A.Around
30,000.
B.40.
C.Around
29,960.
D.Around
40.
解析:选B 细节理解题。由文章第一段第二句可知,危害谷类作物的疾病和危害小麦的数目一样多。故选B项。
2.Which
of
the
following
statements
in
NOT
true
A.A
major
crop
disease,
if
not
checked,
would
result
in
many
deaths
in
a
country.
B.A
major
crop
disease,
if
not
checked,
would
result
in
food
shortages
in
rich
countries.
C.A
major
crop
disease,
if
not
checked,
would
result
in
an
increase
of
world
population.
D.A
major
crop
disease,
if
not
checked,
would
result
in
political
unrest.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第一段的叙述,A、B、D都可找到原文依据,C项没有列出。另外,根据常识,农作物疾病怎么能造成人口增加呢?我们也可看出C项为答案。
3.What
is
the
main
idea
of

A.Some
plants
can
resist
a
great
many
diseases,
while
others
have
low
immunity
to
them.
B.The
growing
conditions
have
little
impact
on
the
tolerance
of
a
particular
plant.
C.In
most
cases,
blight
develops
in
North
America.
D.A
blight
once
killed
virtually
every
chestnut
tree
in
North
America.
解析:选A 主旨大意题。第二段中第一句话为主题句,其他为细节,用来详细解说该主题。
4.Which
of
the
following
statements
is
NOT
true
A.Symptoms
are
always
misleading.
B.Some
plant
diseases
may
be
caused
by
pathogens.
C.Some
plant
diseases
may
be
indirectly
caused
by
men.
D.A
primary
infection
may
lead
to
a
secondary
infection.
解析:选B 细节理解题。仔细阅读最后一段可知,该段第一句说科学家“在研究病原菌方面有很大进展”,但没有说明是否病原菌是疾病的根源。故选B项。
B
Pilates,
yoga
and
the
running
machine
get
all
the
attention
when
it
comes
to
popular
ways
to
stay
healthy.
There
is,
however,
a
more
humble
exercise
that
might
not
be
so
attractive,
but
has
all
the
benefits
—
walking.
Certified
fitness
professional
Jolynn
Jaekel
explains,
“What
I
love
about
walking
is
that
anyone
can
do
it
at
any
age
and
any
fitness
level.
Plus,
it
is
good
for
your
heart,
your
head
and
your
wallet.”
A
recent
report
details
the
health
benefits
of
walking.
The
report
found
that
walking
regularly
to
fulfill
the
150
minutes
of
moderate
physical
exercise
every
week,
recommended
by
the
UK's
chief
medical
officer,
could
save
37,000
lives
each
year.
Scientists
at
the
Lawrence
Berkeley
National
Laboratory
in
California
found
that
quick
walking
reduces
the
risk
of
heart
disease
more
effectively
than
running.
They
observed
participants
aged
between
18
and
80
over
a
six year
period
and
found
that
walking
reduced
the
risk
of
heart
disease
by
9.3%,
while
running
reduced
it
by
4.5%.
And
there
is
even
more
good
news:
30
minutes
of
quick
walking
over
five
days
could
help
you
sleep
easily,
according
to
research
by
Oregon
State
University.
The
study
by
the
university
showed
that
walking
helped
participants
sleep
better
and
feel
more
alert
during
the
day.
The
sooner
you
get
started,
the
sooner
you'll
notice
the
differences
in
your
mind
and
body.
So,
go
out
for
your
30 minute
walk
in
a
nearby
park
or
green
space.
5.The
underlined
word
“humble”
in
the
first
paragraph
probably
means
“________”.
A.plain
B.relaxing
C.popular
D.active
解析:选A 词义猜测题。根据第一段可知,当提到保持健康的方式时首先可以想到普拉提、瑜伽和跑步机。然而,有一种不太引人注目的简单运动却让人受益匪浅,那就是步行。由此可推知,画线词和“plain”意义相近。故A项正确。
6.What
does
Jolynn
Jaekel
think
of
walking
A.It's
loved
by
people
of
all
ages.
B.It's
much
healthier
than
running.
C.It's
a
money saving
physical
exercise.
D.It's
becoming
more
and
more
popular.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“What
I
love
about
walking
...
your
head
and
your
wallet.”可知,步行对人的心脏和大脑都有好处并且可以省钱。故C项正确。
7.What
did
scientists
at
the
Lawrence
Berkeley
National
Laboratory
find
A.Walking
helps
people
with
sleep
problems.
B.Walking
contributes
to
curing
heart
disease.
C.Walking
150
minutes
per
week
can
save
lives.
D.Walking
is
better
than
running
in
some
cases.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句中的“found
that
quick
walking
reduces
the
risk
of
heart
disease
more
effectively
than
running”以及下文将步行和跑步从几个方面进行的对比来看,前者优于后者。故D项正确。
8.In
which
section
of
a
newspaper
can
we
read
this
text
A.Comment.
B.Lifestyle.
C.Education.
D.Science.
解析:选B 文章出处题。纵观全文可知,本文主要介绍了健康生活方式中的最简单有效的方式——步行。由此可推知,可从报纸上介绍生活方式的版块读到该文章。故B项正确。Unit

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
It
was
an
early
September
day,
cool
and
bright
and
just
right
for
running,
and
I
was
in
the
first
few
miles
of
a
10 mile
race
over
a
course
with
a
few
high
hills.Still,
I
felt
energetic;despite
the
hills
it
was
going
to
be
a
fine
run.
Just
ahead
of
me
was
Peggy
Mimno,
a
teacher
from
Mount
Kiseo,
New
York.She
too
was
running
easily,
moving
along
at
my
speed.The
pace
felt
comfortable,
so
I
decided
to
stay
where
I
was;
why
pay
attention
to
pace
when
she
was
setting
such
a
nice
one?I’d
overtake
(追上)
her
later
on
when
she
tired.
So
I
ran
behind
her.The
course
headed
north
for
miles,
wandered
west
for
a
hilly
mile,
then
turned
south
again
along
a
winding
road.The
race
was
getting
harder.We
had
four
miles
left
and
already
it
was
beginning
to
be
real
work.
Peggy
overtook
a
young
runner.She
seemed
to
know
him,
for
they
exchanged
a
few
cheerful
words
as
she
passed
him.Their
exchange
worried
me.You
don’t
chat
during
a
race
unless
feeling
good,
and
Peggy
plainly
was.
Still,
I
was
close
enough
to
overtake
her
if
she
tired,
so
I
didn’t
give
up
hope
completely.We
were
getting
nearer
to
a
long,
punishing
hill
now
and
it
would
be
the
test.We
were
a
mile
from
the
finish
line,
so
whatever
happened
on
the
hill
would
almost
determine
who
crossed
it
first.
As
I
moved
up
the
hill,
my
attention
wandered
for
a
few
minutes.When
I
looked
up,
Peggy
was
moving
away
—
first
five
yards,
then
ten,
then
more.Finally
it
was
clear
that
there
was
no
help
of
catching
her.She
beat
me
soundly.
There
is
an
important
lesson
in
that
race.Women
are
thought
to
be
weaker,
slower
and
not
nearly
as
skilled
in
sport.Yet
as
Peggy
Mimno
so
clearly
showed,
the
similarities
between
men
and
women
runners
are
more
important
than
differences.I
have
run
with
a
number
of
women,
and
I
can
say
it
is
often
hard
work.
1.What
did
the
writer
think
of
the
race
in
the
beginning
A.It
would
be
hard
work.
B.It
would
be
an
easy
race.
C.It
would
be
a
test
of
his
strength.
D.It
would
be
a
good
learning
experience.
解析:选B 细节理解题。第一段告诉我们作者一开始认为这是一次轻松的比赛。
2.What
worried
the
writer
when
Peggy
greeted
the
young
runner
A.Peggy
overtook
the
young
runner.
B.Peggy
was
running
energetically.
C.Peggy
was
laughing
at
the
writer.
D.Peggy
paid
no
attention
to
the
writer.
解析:选B 推理判断题。从第二段可以看出,作者担心的是Peggy精力充沛地跑着。
3.By
saying
“a
long,
punishing
hill”(Paragraph
5),
the
writer
implies
that
________.
A.Peggy
would
fail
to
reach
the
hilltop
B.men
are
more
skilled
at
climbing
hills
C.overtaking
Peggy
would
be
easy
D.climbing
the
hill
would
be
a
demanding
task
解析:选D 字句理解题。由所在句子的语境可以看出,在比赛中爬山是一项费力的任务。

lesson
does
the
writer
learn
from
the
race
A.Women

as
good
as
men
in
sport.
B.Women

better
at
climbing
hills.
C.He

Billboard
Music
Awards
of
the
Year
2015
goes
to
Taylor
Swift,
a
singer songwriter,
who
has
shaped
and
inspired
the
American
music
industry
with
her
success.
When
Taylor
Swift
first
came
to
public
notice,
she
was
a
17 year old
newcomer
who
loved
singing
to
her
own
guitar.
She
was
far
more
enthusiastic
than
skilled,
but
apparently
threw
spark
of
superb
talent.
Four
years
later,
Swift
has
become
a
multi awards
winner,
with
the
biggest
selling
albums.
For
her
consummate
performance,
Taylor
Swift
was
named
Billboard
magazine’s
woman
in
2011.
She
is
the
youngest
artist
to
receive
honors
and
several
Billboard
Music
Awards,
among
them
Top
Country
Album
for
the
five time
platinum
(白金)
selling
Speak
Now,
her
third
album
that
was
released
that
year.
“Taylor
has
shown
the
power
of
good
songwriting
with
music
of
styles,”
said
Bill
Werde,
Billboard’s
editorial
director.
“And
at
such
a
young
age,
Taylor
has
already
made
a
major
impact
on
music
and
has
been
an
unbelievable
role
model
for
promising
artists
and
young
woman
everywhere.”
Swift
is
used
to
breaking
chart
records
and
winning
honors
since
her
career
started.
She
followed
that
up
in
2008
with
Fearless,
which
established
her
as
a
skilled
songwriter
with
several
hits,
including
Love
Story,
You
Belong
With
Me
and
White
Horse.
Not
surprisingly,
the
6 time
platinum
Fearless
is
the
most
awarded
album
in
country
music
history
in
the
US
and
her
overall
worldwide
sales
now
reach
20
million
albums
and
40
million
songs
downloads.
Swift
has
spent
the
past
year
on
the
Speak
Now
World
Tour
in
support
of
her
third
album,
and
now
she’s
getting
ready
to
go
further.
According
to
a
recent
interview
with
The
New
Yorker
magazine,
Swift
has
so
far
written
about
10
songs
for
a
2016
album.
She
said
the
new
album
is
about
feelings
of
growing
up
and
becoming
an
adult.
“They’re
sad
if
I’m
being
honest,”
Swift
told
The
New
Yorker.
“They’re
about
my
heartbreaks
and
my
moving
on.
But
more
importantly,
they
are
about
achieving
contentment.
You’re
not
always
going
to
be
ridiculously
happy
as
you
grow
up.”

A
Scientists
used
to
explore
the
surface
of
the
ocean.Now
they
are
exploring
below
the
surface,
too.They
want
to
know
about
ocean
water
and
the
plant
and
animal
life
deep
in
the
ocean.
In
1934
the
scientist
William
Beebe
dived
3,000
feet
below
the
surface
in
a
hollow
steel
ball.In
1960
his
son
Jean
dived
to
a
depth
of
35,800
feet.
All
these
early
dives
were
deep.But
the
divers
could
not
stay
down
for
very
long.They
had
to
come
back
up
to
surface
after
a
few
seconds.Scientists
needed
to
stay
down
longer
to
study
life
below
surface.Gradually
they
succeeded.Cousteau,
a
Frenchman,
was
able
to
keep
men
down
to
a
depth
of
36
feet
for
one
month
and
to
a
depth
of
90
feet
for
a
week.
Now
scientists
are
developing
even
better
equipment.With
this
new
equipment,
men
can
stay
below
the
surface
for
days
or
even
weeks.In
1962
Cousteau
set
up
a
research
station
35
feet
below
the
surface.Then,
in
1964,
he
set
up
another
station
on
the
ocean
floor
of
the
Red
Sea.This
was
the
first
undersea
station
to
operate
without
help
from
the
surface.
Many
countries
are
now
studying
undersea
living.The
former
Soviet
Union
has
an
undersea
laboratory
in
the
Crimean
Sea.The
United
States
has
a
laboratory
50
feet
down
on
the
ocean
floor
off
the
Virgin
Island.In
1970
five
men
lived
there
for
two
weeks.Then
a
team
of
five
women
scientists
stayed
in
the
laboratory.Next
came
other
teams
of
men.All
were
there
to
explore
the
ocean
depths
and
to
make
plans
for
the
use
of
its
resources.Scientists
hope
to
find
enough
mineral,
vegetable,
and
animal
wealth
there
to
provide
food
for
the
entire
world.

D.Both
A
and
B.
解析:选D 细节理解题。由第一段第二句可知A项正确;由最后一段倒数第二句可知B项正确。故选D项。
B
Why
is
pink
or
purple
a
color
for
girls
and
blue
or
brown
for
boys
The
answer
depends
largely
on
cultural
values
as
well
as
personal
experiences.
To
the
Egyptians,
green
was
a
color
that
represented
the
hope
and
joy
of
spring,
while
for
Muslims,
it
means
heaven.
Red
is
a
symbol
of
good
luck
in
many
cultures.
In
China,
children
are
given
money
in
a
red
envelope
to
bring
good
fortune
in
the
New
Year.
For
many
nations,
blue
is
a
symbol
of
protection
and
religious
beliefs.
Greek
people
often
wear
a
blue
necklace
hoping
to
protect
themselves
against
evils.
People's
choice
of
colors
is
also
influenced
by
their
bodies'
reactions
toward
them.
Green
is
said
to
be
the
most
restful
color.
It
has
the
ability
to
reduce
pain
and
relax
people
both
mentally
and
physically.
People
who
work
in
green
environment
have
been
found
to
have
fewer
stomach
aches.
Red
can
cause
a
person's
blood
pressure
to
rise
and
increase
people's
appetites
(食欲).
Many
decorators
will
include
different
shades
of
red
in
the
restaurant.
Similarly,
many
commercial
websites
will
have
a
red
“Buy
Now”
button
because
red
is
a
color
that
easily
catches
a
person's
eye.
Blue
is
another
calming
color.
Unlike
red,
blue
can
cause
people
to
lose
appetite.
So
if
you
want
to
eat
less,
some
suggest
that
eating
from
blue
plates
can
help.
The
next
time
you
are
deciding
on
what
to
wear
or
what
color
to
decorate
your
room,
think
about
the
color
carefully.
语篇解读:本文从多方面介绍了颜色对人们的影响和作用,希望我们在生活中能利用这种影响,使生活变得更加美好。
5.Muslims
regard
green
as
a
symbol
of
heaven
mainly
because
of
their
________.
A.cultural
values
B.commercial
purposes
C.personal
experiences
D.physical
reactions
to
the
color
解析:选A 细节理解题。由文章第二段“The
answer
depends
largely
on
cultural
values
as
well
as
personal
experiences.”和“...for
Muslims,
it
means
heaven.”可知,穆斯林把绿色当作a
symbol
of
heaven更多的是因为cultural
values。注意:句中有as
well
as时更多的是强调as
well
as前面的内容,因此选择A项。
6.Why
will
many
commercial
websites
have
a
red
“Buy
Now”
button
A.To
relax
people
physically.
B.To
increase
people's
appetites.
C.To
encourage
people
to
make
a
purchase.
D.To
cause
a
person's
blood
pressure
to
rise.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据文章第四段可知,红色能使人血压升高,增强食欲,而商业网站上的红色“Buy
Now”按钮的目的根本不是为使人身体得到放松,也不是增强人的食欲和使人血压升高。商业网站的目的就是为了自己的商业利益,因此,按钮的目的是为了让人购买商品,选择C项。
7.Which
of
the
following
would
be
the
most
proper

for

A.Colors

Human
Beings
B.The
Cultural

C.Colors
and

D.The
Meaning
and
Function
of
Color
解析:选D 标题归纳题。通读全文,文章叙述了颜色在cultural
values,
personal
experiences,
bodies'
reactions等方面的作用和影响,作为文章的题目A项过于宽泛,B项只提及Cultural
Meaning,C项只提及Personal
Experiences也不够全面。D项涉及颜色的Meaning
和

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
company
has
designed
a
water
bottle,
the
Memobottle,
which
is
ideal
for
the
office
worker's
bag,
because
it's
completely
flat.
With
the
same
shape
as
a
piece
of
paper,
the
Memobottle
is
a
reusable
water
bottle
that
slides
into
your
bag
to
lie
next
to
books
and
laptops.
The
bottle,
which
can
also
be
washed
in
a
dishwasher,
is
designed
to
help
reduce
the
number
of
plastic
bottles
in
landfills
(填埋).
Two
creative
people
Jesse
Leeworthy
and
Jonathan
Byrt,
both
28,
designed
the
bottle
to
be
convenient
to
carry
and
environmentally
friendly.
It
is
made
from
a
durable
and
dishwasher friendly
“green”
plastic.
Leeworthy
and
Byrt,
from
Australia,
say
more
than
600
billion
single use
bottles
were
sold
globally
last
year.
In
America
alone,
studies
show
that
around
1,500
single use
water
bottles
are
consumed
every
second
—
only
20
percent
of
these
are
recycled.
And
the
cost
of
buying
more
and
more
plastic
bottles
adds
up
—
the
pair
say
that
bottled
water
costs
approximately
1,400
times
more
than
tap
water.
“We've
always
been
passionate
about
the
environment,”
said
Leeworthy.
“For
years
we
have
been
focused
on
creative
design
that
provides
environmental
remedy
while
improving
social
convenience.
The
Memobottle
was
designed
to
overcome
two
problems
that
we
see
in
our
society:
our
attachment
to
the
outdoors,
and
our
inability
to
fit
water
bottles
in
laptop
bags.”
The
bottle
will
be
available
in
three
different
sizes
—
A5
which
holds
750
ml,
A4
which
holds
1.25
litres
and
letter
size
which
stores
1.25
litres.
The
product
is
seeking
funding
on
Kickstarter
and
has
already
soared
(飙升)
past
its
primary
goal
of
raising
£8,310
(D|S13,500),
reaching
it
in
just
36
hours.
Jonathan
Byrt
said,
“The
feedback
we've
received
has
been
overwhelmingly
positive!The
emails
of
support
and
interest,
and
social
media
comments
have
been
amazing!”
The
product
is
expected
to
be
on
the
market
by
Christmas
and
will
be
available
for
global
delivery.

A
The
vast
sea
surrounding
the
continents
has
always
interested
the
brave
human
being.From
the
sea
man
can
get
food,
minerals,
as
well
as
treasure.For
thousands
of
years,
man
has
been
sailing
on
it,
but
he
could
not
get
far
beneath
its
surface.
Man
has
been
dreaming
of
exploring
deep
into
the
sea.However,
this
is
only
a
dream
as
he
is
not
a
fish.To
stay
deep
in
the
sea
he
must
breathe
air,
so
he
can't
stay
under
the
water's
surface
for
any
length
of
time.To
explore
deep
water,
man
is
confronted
with
even
more
dangers
and
problems.
A
diver
who
wants
to
stay
under
water
for
more
than
a
few
minutes
must
breathe
in
and
out
air
or
have
a
special
mixture
of
gases
if
natural
air
is
not
available.As
a
rule,
he
may
wear
a
diving
suit
and
have
air
pumped
to
him
from
above
the
water.He
is
equipped
with
a
tank
of
air
on
his
back
and
breathe
through
a
hose
(软管)
and
a
mouthpiece
attached
to
the
tank.It
is
dangerous
to
dive
underwater
because
water
weighs
800
times
as
much
as
air.Tons
of
water
pushes
against
a
diver
when
he
dives
deep
into
the
sea.His
body
is
under
great
pressure.
When
a
diver
is
under
great
pressure,
his
blood
takes
in
some
of
the
gases
he
breathes.As
he
rises
to
surface,
the
water
pressure
becomes
less.If
the
diver
rises
too
quickly
to
the
water
surface,
the
gases
in
his
blood
will
not
disappear,
instead,
they
form
bubbles.The
diver
is
then
likely
to
be
suffering
from
the
bends
(潜水员病).The
bends
can
cause
a
diver
to
double
up
in
pain.If
the
diver
does
not
take
certain
measures
to
protect
himself,
they
can
even
kill
him.
1.On
the
whole,
this
passage
is
about________.
A.special
mixtures
of
gases
in
deep
sea
B.the
problems
man
faces
in
deep sea
diving
C.air
pressure
under
the
surface
of
sea
water
D.a
kind
of
illness
that
man
suffers
in
the
sea
解析:选B 主旨大意题。本文开始指出探索海底世界是人类的一个梦想,但是要使梦想成真,人类需要克服许多困难。文章以大部分篇幅说出了人类深海探索所面临的问题。因此B项最能概括大意。
2.A
diver's
body
in
deep
water________.
A.is
under
great
pressure
B.is
just
like
that
of
a
fish
C.suffers
from
the
bends
D.weighs
very
little
解析:选A 细节理解题。从第三段最后一句可知答案。
3.The
passage
does
not
say
so,
but
it
makes
you
think
that________.
A.deep sea
divers
should
be
in
good
health
B.divers
explore
the
deep
sea
only
for
treasure
C.diving
under
the
water
too
quickly
causes
a
kind
of
illness
D.there
is
a
special
mixture
of
gases
under
the
sea
解析:选A 推理判断题。从最后两段可看出,人类潜到深海会身受海水的巨大压力;并容易导致潜水病。因此这是一种带有危险性的职业。我们可以推断,潜水员应该身体强健。故A选项正确。
4.Why
does
a
diver
get
the
bends
A.He
tries
to
do
exercises
under
the
water.
B.His
diving
suit
weighs
too
much.
C.He

In
New
York,
Ma
witnessed
the
Alibaba
Group
opening
on
the
New
York
stock
exchange
with
the
largest
initial
public
offering
(IPO,新股发行)
in
American
history.
“Alibaba,
the
world's
largest
Internet
commerce
company
makes
China
equal
to
the
US
in
the
rapidly
increasing
global
competition
for
technological
innovation
(创新)
and
economic
transformation,”
commented
the
South
China
Morning
Post.
It
has
also
made
Ma,
the
China's
richest
man,
with
a
fortune
of
around
D|S25
billion
(153
billion
yuan),
reported
Reuters.
It's
reported
that
Ma's
rags
to
riches
journey
is
just
as
spectacular
as
his
Internet
empire.
Ma
failed
the
national
college
entrance
exams
twice
before
he
was
finally
in
Hangzhou
Normal
University
on
his
third
attempt
and
failed
in
finding
a
suitable
job
several
times.
Also,
Mr
Ma
is
a
big
believer
in
perseverance,
which
was
proved
in
his
English
study
experience.
However,
it
was
his
vision
and
goals
that
launched
his
career.
During
a
short
trip
to
the
US
as
an
interpreter
in
1995,
Ma
first
experienced
the
Internet.
He
believed
in
the
Internet's
business
potential
when
few
other
Chinese
people
did.
He
started
Alibaba
in
his
Hangzhou
apartment,
with
17
friends
and
D|S60,000
of
funds.
At
the
time,
when
e commerce
was
unheard
of
in
China,
“I_called_myself_a_blind_man_riding_on_the_back_of_blind_tigers,”
he
once
said,
according
to
The
Guardian.
His
unusual
ideas
earned
him
the
nickname
“Crazy
Jack
Ma”.
Indeed,
Ma
is
different.
Although
he
is
very
thin
and
about
160cm
tall,
“Ma
is
yet
animated
and
forceful,
”said
The
Guardian.
“He
is
funny,
creative,
and
a
compelling
(引人注目的)
speaker.”
Ma
told
Time
magazine
that
he
was
“old
for
the
Internet”.
He
started
to
slow
down
and
looked
around.
According
to
The
Wall
Street
Journal,
Ma
plans
to
open
a
tai
chi
club
with
the
actor
Jet
Li,
build
an
entrepreneur
(企业家)
university
in
Hangzhou
and
continue
to
work
on
several
environmental
projects.

A
The
koala
is
Australia's
second
most
famous
animal.This
gentle,
slow moving
animal
has
lived
in
the
forests
of
Australia
for
over
half
a
million
years.In
the
first
quarter
of
the
century,
early
settlers
killed
about
ten
million
koalas
for
their
fur.Today,
the
koala
is
strictly
protected.
Gum
leaves
are
the
koala's
only
food.And
instead
of
a
tail
the
animal
has
a
pad
that
enables
it
to
sit
comfortably
for
hours
in
the
fork
of
a
gum
tree.
The
Aborigines
named
this
animal
koala
meaning
“I
don't
drink”.The
gum
leaves
supply
all
the
moisture
it
requires.So
Koala
is
an
aboriginal
word.
The
koala
lives
in
trees
in
forests.It
doesn't
eat
any
meat
and
it
doesn't
drink
any
water.The
koala
is
active
at
night
and
during
the
day
it
sleeps
in
the
fork
of
a
tree.The
koala
has
long
arms
and
sharp
curved
claws
for
climbing
trees
and
for
grasping
branches.It
has
a
large
hairless
nose
and
it
hasn't
got
a
tail.
The
koala
usually
has
only
one
baby
a
year.At
birth
the
baby
is
very
small.At
first
it
cannot
see
and
it
hasn't
got
any
fur.The
female
koala
has
a
pouch
on
her
stomach.Inside
this
pouch
the
mother
produces
milk
for
her
baby.The
baby
stays
in
its
mother's
pouch
until
it
is
about
six
months
old.Then
it
clings
to
its
mother's
back
for
another
six
months.After
this
the
young
koala
starts
to
live
a
solitary
(单独的)
life.

B
Everyone
looks
forward
to
progress,
whether
in
one's
personal
life
or
in
the
general
society.Progress
indicates
a
person's
ability
to
change
the
way
he
is
living
at
the
moment.Progress
must
lead
to
a
better
life
and
a
better
way
of
doing
things.All
these,
however,
remain
true
only
in
so
far
as
people
want
to
accept
technology
and
move
forward
by
finding
new
and
more
efficient
ways
of
doing
things.
However,
at
the
back
of
the
minds
of
many
people,
especially
those
who
miss
the
“good
old
days”,
efficiency
comes
with
a
price.When
communication
becomes
more
efficient,
people
are
able
to
contact
one
another
no
matter
where
they
are
and
at
whatever
time
they
wish
to.The
click
of
a
button
allows
people
miles
apart
to
talk
or
see
each
other
without
even
leaving
their
homes.With
the
communication
gadgets,_such
as
mobile
phones
and
ipads,
people
often
do
not
take
the
effort
to
visit
one
another
personally.A
personal
visit
carries
with
it
the
additional
feature
of
having
to
be
in
the
person's
presence
for
as
long
as
the
visit
lasts.We
cannot
unnecessarily
excuse
ourselves
or
turn
the
other
person
off.
With
efficiency
also
comes
mass
production.Such
is
the
nature
of
factories
and
the
success
of
industrialization
today.Factories
have
improved
efficiency.Unskillful
tasks
are
left
to
machines
and
products
are
better
made
and
produced
with
greater
accuracy
than
any
human
hand
could
ever
have
done.However,
with
the
improvements
in
efficiency
also
comes
the
loss
of
the
personal
touch
when
making
these
products.For
example,
many
handicrafts
(手工艺品)
are
now
produced
in
a
factory.
Although
this
means
that
supply
is
better
able
to
increase
demand,
now
that
the
supply
is
quick
and
efficient,
the
demand
might
fall
because
mass
production
lowers
the
quality
of
the
handicraft
and
it
is
difficult
to
find
unique
designs
on
each
item.
Nevertheless,
we
must
not
commit
the
mistake
of
analyzing
progress
only
from
one
point
of
view.In
fact,
progress
has
allowed
tradition
to
keep
up.It
is
only
with
progress
and
the
invention
of
new
technology
that
many
old
products
can
be
brought
back
to
their
old
state.New
technology
is
required
for
old
products
to
stay
old.
It
is
people's
attitude
towards
progress
that
causes
the
type
of
influence
that
technology
has
on
society.Technology
is
flexible.There
is
no
fixed
way
of
making
use
of
it.Everything
depends
on
people's
attitude.The
worst
effects
of
progress
will
fall
on
those
who
are
unable
to
rethink
their
attitudes
and
views
of
society.When
we
accept
progress
and
adapt
it
to
suit
our
needs,
a
new
“past”
is
created.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
The
saying
“a
penny
for
your
thoughts”
is
an
English
idiom
simply
asking
people
to
volunteer
their
opinions
on
an
issue
being
discussed.
In
modern
usage,
it
is
often
stated
as
an
indirect
way
of
asking
what
someone
is
thinking
about.
This
phrase
is
basically
a
proposal
(提议),
and
the
speaker
is
offering
to
pay
to
hear
the
listener's
thoughts.
It
is
an
idiom,
of
course,
and
not
meant
literally
(字面上地)
so
no
real
payment
generally
takes
place.
When
the
saying
originated,
a
penny
was
worth
a
lot
more
than
it
is
in
the
21st
century.Therefore,
“a
penny
for
your
thoughts”
likely
indicated
the
thoughts
were
more
valuable
to
those
asking
the
listener
for
them
than
they
are
by
today's
standards.
This
loss
of
value
can
be
used
ironically
(讽刺地),
however,
through
tone
(语气)
of
voice;
it
can
be
used
to
indicate
that
someone's
idea
is
bad
or
worth
a
penny
in
modern
value.
The
phrase
is
generally
credited
to
a
man
by
the
name
of
John
Heywood,
who
was
born
sometime
just
before
the
16th
century.
During
his
life,
he
was
a
writer
who
penned
many
plays
and
a
book
in
1546,
later
known
as
The
Proverbs
of
John
Heywood.
It
is
likely
that
Heywood
did
not
actually
come
up
with
the
phrase
“a
penny
for
your
thoughts”.
Rather,
he
was
simply
the
first
person
to
have
set
the
phrase
down
in
written
form.
The
actual
origins
of
the
term
are
unknown,
and
since
his
book
was
simply
a
collection
of
common
idioms
and
expressions,
it
was
probably
familiar
to
people
in
the
mid
1500s.
Another
phrase
similar
to
“a
penny
for
your
thoughts”is
offering
“your
two
cents”
after
making
a
statement.
Someone
might
give
his
or
her
opinion
and
then
say,
“that's
my
two
cents,”
to
indicate
the
value
of
his
or
her
idea.
While,
much
like
a
penny,
“two
cents”
is
relatively
low
in
value
now,
it
would
have
been
more
valuable
at
one
time
and
the
expression
is
used
in
much
the
same
way.
1.When
someone
says
“a
penny
for
your
thoughts”,
he
or
she________.
A.wants
to
ask
you
for
advice
B.considers
your
thoughts
unique
C.is
curious
about
what's
on
your
mind
D.will
pay
for
what
you're
thinking
about
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“asking
people
to
volunteer
their
opinions
on
an
issue
being
discussed”和“asking
what
someone
is
thinking
about”可知答案。
2.The
modern
meaning
of
“a
penny
for
your
thoughts”
________.
A.is
more
closely
connected
to
the
value
of
the
penny
B.can
differ
greatly
according
to
a
speaker's
tone
of
voice
C.can
confuse
the
listener
easily
D.is
more
popularly
accepted
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,由于便士的价值在古代和现在相差甚远,因此现在也可以用“a
penny
for
your
thoughts”来表达对方的主意一文不值,也就是说,根据说话人的语气,这个习语的意思大相径庭。
3.In
what
way
is
Heywood
related
to
the
phrase
“a
penny
for
your
thoughts”?
A.He
came
up
with
it
while
he
was
writing.
B.He
helped
to
explain
the
origins
of
it.
C.He
contributed
to
the
wide
use
of
it.
D.He
was
the
first
person
to
use
it.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“he
was
simply
the
first
person
to
have
set
the
phrase
down
in
written
form”和“his
book
was
simply
a
collection
of
common
idioms
...the
mid
1500s”可推测,Heywood
由于将“a
penny
for
your
thoughts”这个习语编写到自己关于常用习语和表达的书籍中,从而使得这个习语被人们所熟知。因此,他间接推广了这个习语的应用。
4.What
do
we
know
about
the
phrase
“your
two
cents”?
A.It
is
usually
used
at
the
end
of
a
statement.
B.It
comes
from
“a
penny
for
your
thoughts”.
C.It
has
witnessed
some
changes
since
the
16th
century.
D.It
is
more
familiar
to
people
than
“a
penny
for
your

1.A.poor

C.beyond
D.through
解析:选C that指代上文的survival,结合下文可知用beyond“除……之外”。
3.A.supported
B.received
C.encouraged
D.valued
解析:选D 根据上下文,孩子自身的价值通过其生产能力体现出来。be

4.A.Until

than
D.less
than
解析:选B 由前后逻辑关系可知,此空应为“而不是”,故选B项。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
Perhaps
you
think
you
could
easily
add
to
your
happiness
with
more
money.Strange
as
it
may
seem,
if
you're
unsatisfied,
the
issue
is
not
a
lack
of
means
to
meet
your
desires
but
a
lack
of
desires
—
not
that
you
cannot
satisfy
your
tastes
but
that
you
don't
have
enough
tastes.
Real
riches
consist
of
well developed
and
hearty
capacities
to
enjoy
life.Most
people
are
already
swamped
(淹没)
with
things.They
eat,
wear,
go
and
talk
too
much.They_live_in_too_big_a_house_with_too_many_rooms,_yet_their_house_of_life_is_a_hut.
Your
house
of
life
ought
to
be
a
mansion
(豪宅),
a
royal
palace.Every
new
taste,
every
additional
interest,
every
fresh
enthusiasm
adds
a
room.Here
are
several
rooms
your
house
of
life
should
have.
Art
should
be
a
desire
for
you
to
develop
simply
because
the
world
is
full
of
beautiful
things.If
you
only
understood
how
to
enjoy
them
and
feed
your
spirit
on
them,
they
would
make
you
as
happy
as
to
find
plenty
of
ham
and
eggs
when
you're
hungry.
Literature,
classic
literature,
is
a
beautiful,
richly
furnished
room
where
you
might
find
many
an
hour
of
rest
and
refreshment.To
gain
that
love
would
go
toward
making
you
a
rich
person,
for
a
rich
person
is
not
someone
who
has
a
library
but
who
likes
a
library.
Music
like
Mozart's
and
Bach's
shouldn't
be
absent.Real
riches
are
of
the
spirit.And
when
you've
brought
that
spirit
up
to
where
classical
music
feeds
it
and
makes
you
a
little
drunk,
you
have
increased
your
thrills
and
bettered
them.And
life
is
a
matter
of
thrills.
Sports,
without
which
you
remain
poor,
mean
a
lot
in
life.No
matter
who
you
are,
you
would
be
more
human,
and
your
house
of
life
would
be
better
supported
against
the
bad
days,
if
you
could,
and
did,
play
a
bit.
Whatever
rooms
you
might
add
to
your
house
of
life,
the
secret
of
enjoying
life
is
to
keep
adding.

Ⅴ.阅读理解
A
Botany,
the
study
of
plants,
occupies
a
special
position
in
the
history
of
human
knowledge.For
many
thousands
of
years
it
was
a
field
about
which
humans
had
a
great
deal
to
learn.It
is
impossible
to
know
today
just
what
our
Stone
Age
ancestors
knew
about
plants,
but
from
what
we
can
observe
of
pre industrial
societies
that
still
exist,
a
detailed
learning
of
plants
and
their
properties
must
be
extremely
ancient.This
is
logical.
Plants
are
the
basis
of
the
food
pyramid
for
all
living
things,
even
for
other
plants.They
have
always
been
important
to
the
benefit
of
peoples,
not
only
for
food,
but
also
for
clothing,
weapons,
tools,
dyes,
medicines,
shelter,
and
a
great
many
other
purposes.Tribes
living
today
in
the
jungles
of
the
Amazon
recognize
hundreds
of
plants
and
know
many
properties
of
each.To
them
botany,
as
such,
has
no
name
and
is
probably
not
even
recognized
as
a
special
branch
of
“knowledge”
at
all.
Unfortunately,
the
more
industrialized
we
become
the
farther
away
we
move
from
direct
contact
with
plants,
and
the
less
definite
our
knowledge,
and
few
people
will
fail
to
recognize
a
rose,
and
apple,
or
an
orchid.
When
our
ancestors,
living
in
the
Middle
East
about
10,000
years
ago,
discovered
that
certain
grasses
could
be
harvested
and
their
seeds
planted
for
richer
harvests
the
next
season,
the
first
great
step
in
a
new
association
(联系)
of
plants
and
humans
was
taken.Grains
were
discovered
and
from
them
flowed
the
wonder
of
agriculture:
cultivated
crops.From
then
on,
humans
would
increasingly
take
their
living
from
the
controlled
production
of
a
few
plants,
rather
than
getting
a
little
here
and
a
little
there
from
many
varieties
that
grew
wild
—
and
the
accumulated
(积累)
knowledge
of
tens
of
thousands
of
years
of
experience
and
close
contact
with
plants
in
the
wild
would
begin
to
fade
away.
1.Which
of
the
following
statements
is
TRUE
A.Early
humans
knew
nothing
about
plants.
B.Early
humans
probably
had
extensive
knowledge
of
plants.
C.Early
humans
had
little
knowledge
of
plants.
D.Early
humans
did
not
enjoy
the
study
of
botany.
解析:选B 细节理解题。由第一段第三句的前半部分可知B项正确。
2.In
Paragraph
1
the
underlined
word
“properties”
refers
to________.
A.the
belongings
of
early
humans
B.the
wealth
of
ancient
people
C.the
characteristics
or
qualities
of
plants
D.Both
B
and
C
解析:选C 词义猜测题。全文出现property的地方有两处,除了第一段之外,在第二段倒数第二句话还能找到。观察其搭配,可发现这个词两处都与plant联用,可猜出其意思与人类无关,故选C项。
3.Tribes
living
today
in
the
jungle
of
the
Amazon________.
A.don't
know
anything
about
plants
B.recognize
botany
as
a
branch
of
science
C.first
give
the
name
of
botany
D.are
experts
of
plants
解析:选D 细节理解题。从第二段看出,亚马孙丛林中的部落人能认识数百种植物,并熟悉它们的属性。他们不知道什么叫“植物学”,这些知识只是想当然的事,甚至不纳入“知识”范畴。故选D项。
4.According
to
the
passage,
what
was
the
first
great
step
toward
the
practice
of
agriculture
A.The
invention
of
agricultural
implements
and
machinery.
B.The
development
of
a
system
of
names
for
plants.
C.The
discovery
of
grasses
that
could
be
harvested
and
replanted.
D.The
changing
diets
of
early
humans.
解析:选C 细节理解题。从最后一段第一句中可以得出答案。
B
The
Japanese
like
parties.From
ancient
times,
a
party
becomes
enlivened
(活泼)
when
someone
starts
singing
and
others
keep
applauding.Having
such
a
custom,
the
Japanese
can
easily
sing
in
front
of
others
without
feeling
embarrassed.This
seems
to
be
one
of
the
reasons
that
karaoke
has
been
largely
accepted
in
Japanese
society.
It
is
now
widely
recognized
that
the
use
of
karaoke
started
at
a
snack
bar
in
Kobe
City,
one
of
the
three
biggest
cities
in
Japan.It
is
said
that
when
a
guitarist
could
not
come
to
perform
at
the
bar
due
to
illness,
the
owner
of
the
bar
prepared
tapes
of
accompaniment
recordings,
and
people
enjoyed
singing
to
the
tapes.
It
was
at
that
time
that
karaoke
appeared.Holding
a
microphone
and
singing
a
song
to
the
accompaniment
of
an
“orchestra
(管弦乐队)”,
you
can
feel
like
a
professional
singer.For
soldiers
living
in
a
stressful
society,
there
is
no
other
entertainment
activity
that
can
make
them
feel
so
refreshed.
It
is
a
typical
way
to
relax
for
Japanese
businessmen.They
use
it
to
take
away
their
stress
after
work.However,
there
is
an
obstacle
to
this:
since
most
Japanese
houses
are
still
made
of
wood,
it
would
be
very
annoying
to
the
neighbors
to
sing
into
a
microphone
at
night.Seizing
upon
the
opportunity,
businessmen
created
the
karaoke
box,
a
roadside
facility
containing
karaoke
equipment.Karaoke
boxes
are
soundproofed
rooms,
closed
with
a
door,
placed
on
roadsides
where
people
can
sing.The
first
“Karaoke
box”
was
placed
in
a
rice
camp
in
the
countryside
in
1984.It
was
built
from
a
converted
freight
car
(改装的货运车).Now,
the
karaoke
boom
has
even
spread
abroad
and
it
has
also
been
attracting
the
attention
of
the
countries
trying
to
improve
their
literacy
rate
(识字率)
as
a
good
educational
tool.
5.According
to
the
text,
we
can
learn
that
karaoke
________.
A.originated
from
the
biggest
city
of
Japan
B.originated
in
the
form
of
singing
to
tapes
C.can
help
you
achieve
the
level
of
professional
singers
D.first
appeared
in
the
army
to
relieve
stress
for
soldiers
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第二段可知卡拉OK起源于日本三个大城市之一,Kobe的一间小零食店,这家小店因为吉他手生病不能演奏,店主就录制了吉他手的乐曲,歌手唱歌时播放录制的音乐,因此可知A项错误,B项正确。根据第三段“feel
like
a
professional
singer”可知卡拉OK让你的歌声听起来像专业歌手的歌声,并不能让你真正达到专业歌手水平,故排除C。文章第三段提到卡拉OK是士兵缓解压力的不二方式,但卡拉OK并非诞生于军营,故排除D。
6.The
underlined
word
“soundproofed”
in
Paragraph
4
most
probably
means
“________”.
A.recording
sounds
repeatedly
B.receiving
sound
signals
C.making
sound
more
clear
D.stopping
sound
from
being
heard
outside
解析:选D 词义猜测题。根据画线单词前后语境可知由于日本的房子大都是木房子,隔音效果差,因此唱歌时会影响周围居民的生活,商人抓住这一商机发明了包厢,这是一种关闭门窗,置于路边的隔音效果较好的房子。因此根据语境可以推断soundproofed意思是“隔音的”,故D项符合题意。
7.What
can
be
inferred
from
the
text
A.Karaoke
was
started
in
a
bar
during
a
party.
B.A
guitarist
was
the
originator
who
brought
the
karaoke
into
being.
C.Karaoke
was
very
common
as
a
form
of
entertainment
at
home
when
it
was
born.
D.Karaoke
is
used
as
a
way
of
education
in
some
countries.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段最后一句中的“attracting
the
attention
of
the
countries
trying
to
improve
their
literacy
rate
(识字率)
as
a
good
educational
tool”可知D项正确。卡拉OK起源于一家小零食店,由于吉他手生病,店主想出了用录制音乐伴奏的法子,故推断A和B均错误。根据最后一段可知由于噪音大影响邻居,因此卡拉OK的发展受到限制,故推断C项错误。
8.What
is
the
text
mainly
about
A.What
karaoke
boxes
are
like.
B.How
karaoke
boxes
were
created.
C.The
origins
and
development
of
karaoke.
D.Karaoke
becomes
a
popular
form
of
entertainment.
解析:选C 主旨大意题。本文介绍了卡拉OK的起源和发展,故选C。Unit

Three
and
a

kilometers
of

this

Traveler
B:
The

were
nice,
however
the
biggest
disappointment
was
the
timing.
We
thought
we
were
going
for
a
4 hour

back
in
2
hours

that
included

A
Australia,
the
last
continent,
was
discovered
by
ships
belonging
to
some
European
nations
in
the
seventeenth
century.These
nations
were
less
interested
in
changing
it
into
a
colony
than
in
exploring
it.As
in
the
early
history
of
the
United
States,
it
was
the
English
who
set
up
the
settlements
in
Australia.This
history
and
geography
of
these
two
British
colonies
have
some
other
things
in
common
as
well.
Australia
and
the
United
States
are
about
the
same
in
size,
and
their
western
lands
are
both
not
rich
in
soil.It
was
the
eastern
coast
of
Australia
and
America
that
the
English
first
settled,
and
both
colonies
soon
began
to
develop
towards
the
west.However,
this
westward
movement
took
place
more
because
the
English
were
searching
for
better
land
than
because
the
population
was
increasing.Settlements
of
the
western
part
of
both
countries
developed
quickly
after
gold
was
discovered
in
America
in
1849
and
in
Australia
two
years
later.
Although
the
development
of
these
two
countries
has
a
lot
in
common,
there
are
some
unusual
differences
as
well.The
United
States
got
its
freedom
from
England
by
revolution
while
Australia
won
its
independence
without
having
to
go
to
war.Australia,
unlike
the
United
States,
was
firstly
turned
into
a
colony
by
English
prisoners
and
its
economic
development
was
in
the
wheat
growing
and
sheep
raising.By
1922,
for
example,
Australia
had
fifteen
times
more
sheep
than
it
had
people
or
almost
half
as
many
sheep
as
there
are
people
today
in
the
United
States.Yet,
in
spite
of
these
and
other
differences,
Australia
and
the
United
States
have
more
in
common
with
each
other
than
either
one
has
with
most
of
the
rest
of
the
world.
1.Who
turned
Australia
into

B.Several

countries.
C.The

above.

2.In

reason
that________.
A.the

rapidly

B.the
English

land
there
C.gold
was

D.fewer

解析:选B 细节理解题。从第二段最后一句的前面部分可知答案为B项。
3.In

1920s,
________.
A.Australia
had
one
fifteenth
as
many
people

sheep
B.there
were
more
sheep

D.the

解析:选B 句意理解题。作者讲述了美国和澳大利亚的异同之后,得出结论:它们两国之间的共同之处要比它们任何一方与世界其他国家多。故B项意思最相符。
B
Can
dogs
and
cats
live
in
perfect
harmony
in
the
same
home
People
who
are
thinking
about
adopting
a
dog
as
a
friend
for
their
cats
are
worried
that
they
will
fight.
A
recent
research
has
found
a
new
recipe
for
success.
According
to
the
study,
if
the
cat
is
adopted
before
the
dog,
and
if
they
are
introduced
when
still
young
(less
than
6
months
for
cats,
a
year
for
dogs),
it
is
highly
probable
that
the
two
pets
will
get
along
swimmingly.
Two thirds
of
the
homes
interviewed
reported
a
positive
relationship
between
their
cat
and
dog.
However,
it
wasn’t
all
sweetness
and
light.
There
was
a
reported
coldness
between
the
cat
and
dog
in
25%
of
the
homes,
while
aggression
and
fighting
were
observed
in
10%
of
the
homes.
One
reason
for
this
is
probably
that
some
of
their
body
signals
are
just
opposite.
For
example,
when
a
cat
turns
its
head
away
it
signals
aggression,
while
a
dog
doing
the
same
signals
submission.
In
homes
with
cats
and
dogs
living
peacefully,
researchers
observed
a
surprising
behavior.
They
are
learning
how
to
talk
each
other’s
language.
It
is
a
surprise
that
cats
can
learn
how
to
talk
“Dog”,
and
dogs
can
learn
how
to
talk
“Cat”.
What’s
interesting
is
that
both
cats
and
dogs
have
appeared
to
develop
their
intelligence.
They
can
learn
how
to
read
each
other’s
body
signals,
suggesting
that
the
two
may
have
more
in
common
than
was
previously
suspected.
Once
familiar
with
each
other’s
presence
and
body
language,
cats
and
dogs
can
play
together,
greet
each
other
nose
to
nose,
and
enjoy
sleeping
together
on
the
sofa.
They
can
easily
share
the
same
water
bowl
and
in
some
cases
groom
(梳理)
each
other.
The
significance
of
this
research
on
cats
and
dogs
may
go
beyond
pets
—
to
people
who
don’t
get
along,
including
neighbors,
colleagues
at
work,
and
even
world
superpowers.
If
cats
and
dogs
can
learn
to
get
along,
surely
people
have
a
good
chance.
语篇解读:人们一般认为在同一家庭中,狗与猫之间因为种种原因难以和谐相处,即使可以的话也只占极少部分。然而最近一项科学研究却对这种看法提出了挑战,研究结果发现猫与狗之间存在着交流与学习。它们彼此互相学习各自的语言、深化认识,有助于促进相互间和平共处。既然动物之间都可以这样主动改善关系,更何况我们人类呢?
5.The
underlined
word
“swimmingly”
in
Paragraph
1
is
closest
in
meaning
to
“________”.
A.early
B.sweetly
C.quickly
D.smoothly
解析:选D 词义猜测题。首段第一、二句就暗示人们普遍认为狗和猫是不能和谐相处的,而后面的研究与前面内容形成对比:如果采取适当的措施,猫与狗之间是可以和平相处的,因而“swimmingly”应该是“顺利地;轻易地”之意。A、C两项有悖常识;B项意为“甜蜜地;亲切地”,程度过深,不合常理;D项smoothly意为“平稳地;顺利地”,切合题意。
6.What
is
found
surprising
about
cats
and
dogs
A.They
eat
and
sleep
together.
B.They
observe
each
other’s
behaviors.
C.They
learn
to
speak
each
other’s
language.
D.They
know
something
from
each
other’s
voices.
解析:选C 细节理解题。从第三段“researchers
observed
a
surprising
behavior.
They
are
learning
how
to
talk
each
other’s
language”得知这个令人吃惊的发现便是猫与狗竟然能够互相学习对方的语言。
7.It
is
suggested
in
Paragraph
4
that
cats
and
dogs
________.
A.have
common
interests
B.are
less
different
than
thought
C.have
a
common
body
language
D.are
less
intelligent
than
expected
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第四段可知事实上猫与狗之间存在更多的共同点,它们并没有我们想象中的那么格格不入。
8.What
can
we
human
beings
learn
from
cats
and
dogs
A.We
should
learn
to
live
in
harmony.
B.We
should
know
more
about
animals.
C.We
should
live
in
peace
with
animals.
D.We
should
learn
more
body
languages.
解析:选A 推理判断题。细读最后一段内容我们可以发现作者提出了反问:既然动物都可以学着和谐共存,更何况是技高一筹的人类?因而,通过猫与狗的研究可以得出我们人类应该学会和谐相处。Unit

A
Every
day,
in
all
kinds
of
weather,
thousands
of
men
and
women
jog.Why
has
jogging
—
running
slowly
for
long
distances
—
become
so
popular?Most
joggers
begin
because
they
hear
it
is
a
very
good
exercise.Jogging
makes
the
heart
stronger
and
helps
people
lose
weight.It
can
also
help
them
feel
better
about
themselves.
Donald
Robbins,
who
is
forty two
years
old
and
works
in
an
office,
began
jogging
a
few
years
ago
because
he
felt
he
was
too
fat.At
first
he
could
only
run
about
100
yards.It
took
him
three
months
to
be
able
to
run
a
mile.But
two
years
later,
he
ran
in
a
marathon
over
twenty six
miles.Many
joggers,
like
Donald
Robbins,
feel
that
if
they
can
succeed
in
jogging,
they
can
succeed
in
other
things,
and
quite
often
this
feeling
helps
them
in
their
jobs.
Should
you
jog
too?If
you
do,
be
sure
to
ask
your
doctor
for
advice.Jogging
may
be
too
much
exercise
for
you.
Does
jogging
cost
much?No,
it
costs
almost
nothing.But
it
is
very
important
to
have
a
good
pair
of
shoes
that
are
made
especially
for
jogging.They
protect
your
feet
and
legs
from
the
shock
of
running
on
the
hard
surface.
How
fast
should
you
go?Jog
with
a
friend

talk
to
each
other
as

run.If
you

difficulty
in
talking,
you're
going
too
fast.
How
far
should
you
jog?Remember
not
to
go
too
far
too
soon.In
fact,
you
should
walk,
not
run,
the
first
few
times.Then
do
some
short
jogs,
but
no
more
than
what
you
can
do
comfortably.After
that,
increase

a

every

or
so.Maybe

you

B
The
ancient
city
of
Chichen
Itza
in
southern
Mexico
was
one
of
the
most
powerful
cities
and
one
of
the
most
powerful
ancient
cultures
—
the
Maya.But
today,
no
one
lives
there.It
is
only
a
group
of
old
buildings.However,
people
from
around
the
world
still
come
to
see
it.People
come
to
learn
about
its
ancient
culture,
the
culture
of
the
Mayan
people.
The
Mayan
culture
began
almost
3,000
years
ago
and
grew
in
parts
of
Central
America.But
about
1,000
years
ago
a
group
called
the
Itza
invaded
the
city
and
built
new
parts
of
the
city
based
on
natural
wells.They
named
the
city
Chichen
Itza,
which
means
“mouth
of
the
well
of
the
Itza”.
The
most
interesting
structure
in
Chichen
Itza
is
the
Pyramid
of
Kukulcan(库库尔坎金字塔),
whose
four
sides
all
come
together
at
one
point
at
the
top.Each
side
on
the
Pyramid
of
Kukulcan
has
91
steps.And
there
is
one
more
step
at
the
top
of
the
pyramid.The
steps
are
as
many
as
the
days
of
a
year.Some
experts
believe
the
Maya
could
have
used
this
building
to
help
them
know
when
to
plant
crops.Each
day
the
sun
falls
on
a
different
step
of
the
pyramid,
which
could
be
a
way
to
follow
the
year.
The
people
of
Chichen
Itza
especially
designed
one
building
to
observe
and
study
the
movement
of
the
stars
and
planets.Experts
say
that
the
observatory
(天文台)
is
one
of
the
most
complex
structures
the
Maya
built.A
set
of
steps
went
up
and
around
the
observatory
tower.And
there
were
windows
in
the
tower.Each
window
had
a
purpose.Experts
believe
that
a
person
looking
through
one
of
these
windows
could
see
particular
stars
on
particular
dates.The
Maya
might
have
believed
that
studying
the
stars
could
tell
them
the
future.
Chichen
Itza
is
now
a
UNESCO
World
Heritage
Site
and
an
important
part
of
the
world's
history.

and
explore
the
Mayan
culture
C.study
and
observe
other
stars
on
the
observatory
D.learn
something
about

crops
解析:选B 细节理解题。由第一段的最后一句话“People
come
to
learn
about
its
ancient
culture,
the
culture
of
the
Mayan
people.”可知,游客来到Chichen
Itza的目的是体验玛雅文化。
6.Why
did
the
invaders
name
the
city
“mouth
of
the
well
of
the
Itza”?
A.Because
wells
can
be
seen
in
or
around
the
city.
B.Because
it
is
large
in
size.
C.Because
the
city
is
newly
built.
D.Because
its
location
is
vital.
解析:选A 细节理解题。由文章第二段最后一句话可知,此处有许多天然的井,故得此名。
7.Which
of
the
following
is
TRUE
A.Chichen
Itza
is
one
of
the
World
Heritages.
B.The
Pyramid
of
Kukulcan
has
364
steps.
C.Windows
in
the
tower
predict
the
weather
in
the
future.
D.The
city
of
Chichen
Itza
has
a
long
history
of
3,
000
years.
解析:选A 推理判断题。文章最后一段说Itza是联合国教科文组织的世界遗产,故A正确。从倒数第三段“The
steps
are
as
many
as
the
days
of
a
year.”可以看出库库尔坎金字塔有365层台阶,排除B项。根据倒数第二段“Experts
believe
that
a
person
looking
through
one
of
these
windows
could
see
particular
stars
on
particular
dates.”可以排除C项;D项和原文相比,缺了almost一词,故也排除。

Choose
your
wish
list
It’s
normal
for
any
student’s
college
wish
list
to
change
throughout
high
school.
But
when
it
comes
time
to
apply,
many
seniors
have
a
hard
time
narrowing
down
their
choices.
There’s
no
hard
and
fast
answer,
but
there
are
several
things
you
can
do
and
ask
yourself
to
make
the
decision
easier.
Here
are
three
pieces
of
advice
that
might
help.
Do
your
research
Above
all,
it’s
important
to
figure
out
your
wants
and
needs.
What
do
you
expect
from
your
education
What
are
you
willing
to
give
up
Veronica
Hauad,
senior
associate
director
of
admissions
(录取)
at
the
University
of
Chicago
in
the
US,
said
students
should
start
by
taking
time
to
figure_out
those
questions.
“Find
the
thing
that’s
most
important
to
you,
and
then
you
can
start
searching
on
that
factor
and
sort
things
out
later,”
Hauad
said.
Don’t
focus
on
rankings
It’s
easy
to
focus
too
hard
on
school
rankings,
but
don’t
let
that
make
your
decision
for
you
when
you’re
looking
at
colleges.
In
the
long
run,
rankings
probably
won’t
have
a
big
effect
on
your
education.
It’s
OK
to
look
at
rankings,
but
don’t
obsess
(过于执着)
over
them.
Find
colleges
that
really
interest
you.
If
they
end
up
being
on
a
top
list,
think
of
it
as
an
extra
pleasure.
Think
about
your
future
Here’s
an
important
question
to
ask
all
of
the
colleges
on
your
list:
How
many
of
your
students
find
jobs
after
graduation
An
Ivy
League
school
may
look
good
on
an
application,
but
what
will
the
college
do
to
help
you
find
a
job
Students
should
also
make
sure
they’re
going
to
college
for
the
right
reasons.
University
of
Illinois
sophomore
(二年级学生)
Steve
Wang
said
he
has
met
students
who
aren’t
looking
at
the
bigger
picture.
“I
see
a
lot
of
students
who
go
to
college
for
the
sake
of
the
college
experience
—
not
for
a
higher
education,”
Wang
explained.
“So
people
show
up
and
spend
a
lot
of
time
at
parties
and
not
really
paying
attention
to
schoolwork.
That’s
not
really
what
college
is
for.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。作者向那些准备申请大学的高中生提供了三条建议:一是做好相关调查;二是不要太执着于大学的排名;三是考虑自己的未来。
4.When
you
apply
to
a
college,
you
should
________.
A.find
out
what
you
really
want
B.choose
the
best known
college
C.consider
the
things
you
can
do
D.quit
a
chance
for
further
study
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据作者给即将步入大学的高中生所提供的三条建议的内容,尤其是第三段第一句“Above
all,
it’s
important
to
figure
out
your
wants
and
needs.”可知,高中生在申请大学时一定要做好相关调查,弄清楚自己的真正需求,不要太执着于大学的排名,要为自己的将来考虑,选那些能真正吸引自己的大学。A项符合题意。故答案选A。
5.What
does
the
underlined
part
“figure
out”
in
Paragraph
4
probably
mean
A.Let
out.
B.Look
out.
C.Make
out.
D.Check
out.
解析:选C 词义猜测题。画线短语所在段落的上一段中提到了一些让学生思考的问题,根据逻辑关系可知,Veronica
Hauad认为学生应该花些时间弄清楚那些问题,由此可推知,figure
out的意思应为“弄清楚”,make
out的意思也为“弄清楚”。故答案选C。
6.Steve
Wang
spends
his
main
time
on
________.
A.part time
jobs
B.schoolwork
C.parties
D.college
experiences
解析:选B 推理判断题。在最后一段中,Steve
Wang认为很多学生来到大学,只是为了有上大学的经历,而不是为了接受更高的教育,持有这种想法的学生会经常参加聚会而不把主要精力放在学业上。由Steve
Wang的话可推知,他不赞同这种做法,故他的时间应该主要是花在学业上的。故答案选B。
7.What
is
the
passage
mainly
for
A.Researchers.
B.Educators.
C.Applicants.
D.Sophomores.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据文章前两段内容可知,这篇文章是给那些即将高中毕业、准备申请大学的学生提供的一些建议。故答案选C。Unit
