英语试题
第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
An Oceans Vacuum
There’s a collection of plastic trash in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It’s bigger than Texas-and growing. The way to clean it up now is to catch it with nets. That is both costly and slow. Instead, the Ocean Cleanup Project proposes 62-mile-long floating barriers that would use natural currents to trap trash. If next year’s trials succeed, a full cleanup operation would aim to start in 2020. It could reduce the trash by 42% over 10 years.
Easy-On Shoes
In 2012, Mathew Walzer, a high school student with a disability, sent a note to Nike. “My dream is o go to college,” he wrote, “without having to worry about someone coming to tie my shoes every day.” Nike assigned a design team to the challenge. This year, they came out with their solution: the FlyEase. The basketball shoe can be fastened with one hand. A pair of Nike FlyEase shoes sells for $130.
An Airport for Drones(无人机)
As Amazon, Google, and others get ready for drone delivery service, there is one big question: what kinds of home bases will their drones have? Rwanda, in Africa, may have the answer. There, workers will soon start work on three “drone ports”. The goal is to make it easier to transport food, medical supplies, electronics, and other goods through the hilly countryside. Construction is set to be completed in 2020.
1. What’s the advantage of the Oceans Vacuum?
A. It can be a money-saver
B. It can grow year by year
C. It can tear plastic into pieces
D. It can be put into wide use soon
2. What do we know about Nike?
A. It offers free shoes to the disabled
B. It is designing new shoes frequently
C. It provides customer-friendly services
D. It responded to Matthew’s request passively
3. Why is Rwanda setting up “drone ports”?
A. Because road travel there is rough
B. Because there are too many drones
C. Because they’re easier to construct than roads
D. Because they are receptive to new technology

B
I grew up in a troubled home in the 1970s, on the outskirts of downtown Orlando, Florida. Not far away, a three-story house attracted my eyes.
It was nothing like the one I lived in with my mother, a small dark place with rules about befriending others. “Don’t. Never, ever talk to anyone,” my mother said.
One day, in sixth grade, a black-haired woman was introduced to our class: Mrs. Reese. Reese explained that she was starting Spanish Club. She invited anyone interested in learning Spanish language and culture to stay after school.
I could not take my eyes off her bracelets(手镯) and shining rings. The bell rang, and to my shock, no one went up to Mrs. Reese. I was under strict orders to go straight home. But that day, I stayed. I asked Mrs. Reese when the club started.
“We could begin right now if you like,” she said with a smile. I felt beautiful. That day I learned that the house of my dreams was her house. I learned how to answer questions about my age and my favorite food in Spanish. And I learned, Do you want to come over tomorrow for cooking lessons?
I wanted to say “Yes”, but Mom’s words held me back.
I begged my mother all summer and into fall, well after Spanish Club had dissolved. I wept at night sometimes, so worried that Mrs. Reese and her family would move away.
At some point, I managed to wear my mother down and one Saturday afternoon. I rode out to Mrs. Reese’s house.
The details of that afternoon are marked in my mind: We had tea. She painted my toenails red. We made a garlicky picadillo. We spoke in Spanish. In Spanish, my voice was loud and romantic. This is the real me! I remember thinking.
My mother never permitted me another visit to Mrs. Reese’s house. But four decades later, I still remember that day and the life she showed me, proof of a possible future.

English is full of colorful phrases to describe shyness. Someone shy might be called shrinking violet or a wallflower, while for especially nervous types we have the curious expression: they wouldn’t say boo to a goose.
None of these are traditionally seen as positive descriptions, even if you like geese. In a culture of go-getting, high achievers, shy people don’t come first. Or that's what the self-help industry would have you believe. Bookshops are filled with vital tomes(巨著) that promise to help beat social fears and find success in life, love and business. That is why one book, Shrinking Violets: A Field Guide to Shyness, bucks the trend. It became a sudden success across English-language media recently for its new take-on shyness.
Author Joe Moran says that despite struggling with shyness and longing for loneliness all his life, being shy can also be "a gift". Freed from the constant urge to participate and compete in social situations, people are liberated to look at the world in new ways, and gain fresh insights.
Indeed, many of the world's great thinkers and artists are introverts(内向的人). Scientists Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein preferred their own company; actress Keira Knightley often finds herself tongue-tied at parties; and Harry Potter author JK Rowling claims she used to be too nervous to even borrow a pen.
Moran told BBC Future: "I think shyness probably does turn you into an amateur anthropologist(人类学家), really-you are more likely to be an observer."
So, while extroverts make all the noise, they don't necessarily have the best ideas.
If you're shy, you've probably known this for a long time. You just don't shout about it.
8. When someone is being called a wallflower, he is being .
A. praised for his grace B. admired for his character
C. laughed at for his shyness D. told off for his nervousness
9. The underlined phrase “bucks the trend” in Paragraph 2 probably means ” ”.
A. going against the trend and succeeds
B. changing the public idea completely
C. becoming unpopular and unaccepted
D. becoming the major concern of people
10. The author mentioned many famous shy people in order to .
A. point out the harm shyness brings
B. disconnect shyness and success
C. shows the reasons for shyness
D. prove shyness contributes to science
11. What is the author’s attitude towards shyness?
A. Opposed B. Indifferent
C. Supportive D. Critical
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】作者通过畅销书和大量实例说明害羞不一定是坏事，它和成功没有必然联系。害羞是洞察世界的一种新方式。
8. C
推理判断题。根据第一段Someone shy might be called shrinking violet or a wallflower和第二段None of these are traditionally seen as positive descriptions可知被称为shrinking violet或 wallflower都不是积极的褒义的称谓，是别人在嘲笑自己的害羞，故选C.
9. A
猜测词义题。上句Bookshops are filled with vital tomes(巨著) that promise to help beat social fears and find success in life, love and business.说明书店畅销的都是帮助克服恐惧，在生活、爱和商业方面成功的巨著。下句It became a sudden success说明Shrinking Violets: A Field Guide to Shyness这本书与畅销书内容不同，却很成功。所以划线词语“bucks the trend”指与社会潮流相违背却很成功，故选A.
10. B
推理判断题。根据第四段Indeed, many of the world's great thinkers and artists are introverts(内向的人).和下面列举的Charles Darwin，Albert Einstein，Keira Knightley和JK Rowling几个成功人士曾经也很害羞的例子，目的是为了说明成功和害羞没有必然的联系，故选B.
11. C
推理判断题。根据第二段Shrinking Violets: A Field Guide to Shyness, bucks the trend. It became a sudden success可知这本书很成功。第三段being shy can also be "a gift"，people are liberated to look at the world in new ways, and gain fresh insights.可知害羞是看世界的一种新方式。第四段Indeed, many of the world's great thinkers and artists are introverts(内向的人).可知许多害羞的人很成功。最后一段内向和外向进行了对比。由此可知作者对害羞不是反对和批评，而是支持和赞成。故选C.
【名师点睛】
推理判断题属于主观题，是层次较高的题目。它包括判断和推理题。此类题要求在理解表面文字的基础上，做出判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含的意思和深层的意思，也就是通过文章中的文字信息，上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等已知的信息，推断出作者没有直接表达的态度和观点。
一、常见的推理判断题的考法：
1)推测作者写作目的或意图。小题3考查作者举例的目的，根据第四段Indeed, many of the world's great thinkers and artists are introverts(内向的人).和下面列举的Charles Darwin，Albert Einstein，Keira Knightley和JK Rowling几个成功人士曾经也很害羞的例子，目的是为了说明成功和害羞没有必然的联系。
D
Frigatebirds seagoing fliers with a 6-foot wingspan, can stay aloft(up in the air) for weeks at a time, a new study has found.
Since the frigatebird spends most of its life at sea, its habits outside of when it reproduces on land aren’t well-known-until researchers started tracking them around the Indian Ocean. What the researchers discovered is that the bird’s flying ability is unbelievable.
Ornithologist(鸟类学家) Henri Weimerskirch put satellite tage(标签) on a couple of dozen frigatebirds. When the data started to come in, he could hardly believe how high the birds flew.
"First, we found, 'Whoa, 1,500 meters. Excellent,' " says Weimerskirch, "And after 2,000, after 3,000, after 4,000 meters-OK, at this altitude they are in freezing conditions, especially surprising for a tropical bird."
"There is no other bird flying so high relative to the sea surface," he says. "It's the only bird that is known to intentionally enter into a cloud," Weimerskirch says. And not just any cloud-a soft, white cumulus cloud(积云). Over the ocean, these clouds tend to form in places where warm air rises from the sea surface. The birds take a ride on the current of rising air, all the way up to the top of the cloud.
Frigatebirds have to find ways to stay aloft because they can't land on the water. Since their feathers aren't waterproof, the birds would drown in short order. They feed by harassing other birds in flight until they bring whatever fish they've swallowed back into their mouth and the frigatebird takes it.
So in between meals, frigatebirds fly higher... and higher.
In one case, for two months-continuously aloft.
One of the tagged birds flew 40 miles without a wing-flap. Several covered more than 300 miles a day on average, and flew continuously for weeks. They are blessed with an unusual body. No bird has a larger wing surface area compared with body weight.
12. How did researchers feel when data about frigatebirds reached them?
A. Calm B. Surprised
C. Hopeful D. Anxious
13. According to the text, how can frigatebirds fly so high?
A. By flying into a cloud
B. With the help of researchers
C. Thanks to advanced technology
D. By following other birds into the sky
14. What does the underlined word ”they” in the text refer to?
A. Frigatebirds B. Other birds
C. Small fish D. Larger fish
15. In what aspect are frigatebirds different from other birds?
A. When they give birth B. What they feed on
C. Their body weight D. Their wing surface area
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】Frigatebird的飞行高度无鸟能比，令人难以相信。文章介绍了它的飞行高度、飞行特点、饮食方法以及导致它能连续高飞的原因。
12. B
细节推理题。根据第三段When the data started to come in, he could hardly believe how high the birds flew.可知当研究者看到frigatebird的飞行数据达到的高度时，感到难以相信，非常吃惊。故选B.
13. A
细节推理题。根据第五段And not just any cloud-a soft, white cumulus cloud(积云). Over the ocean, these clouds tend to form in places where warm air rises from the sea surface. The birds take a ride on the current of rising air, all the way up to the top of the cloud.可知frigatebird随着上升的空气气流一路飞向云中，故选A.
14. B
猜测词义题。此处指frigatebirds靠扰乱其他鸟们的飞行，直到那些鸟把咽下去的鱼吐出来，frigatebirds吃掉这些食物。句中they指的是其他的鸟，故选B.
15. D
细节推理题。根据最后一句They are blessed with an unusual body. No bird has a larger wing surface area compared with body weight.可知frigatebird与别的鸟不同之处在于它有较大的翅膀，故选D.
【名师点睛】
细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的题。事实和细节题的命题特点是：对文章或某一段落中的一些特定细节或文章重要事实的理解，一般包括直接理解题和语义转化题。
做细节理解题具体方法与步骤如下：
1.略读材料，大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨；
2.按文章的体裁，作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词。如for example, first, second…等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实；
3.将自己精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上。快速通篇跳读，全文扫视，找到细节出处，待找到含细节句子时，放慢速度，仔细核对比较内容，直至找到答案。如小题1考查研究者看到frigatebird的飞行数据达到的高度时的态度，根据第三段When the data started to come in, he could hardly believe how high the birds flew.可知当研究者看到frigatebird的飞行数据达到的高度时，感到难以相信，非常吃惊。小题2根据第五段And not just any cloud-a soft, white cumulus cloud(积云). Over the ocean, these clouds tend to form in places where warm air rises from the sea surface. The birds take a ride on the current of rising air, all the way up to the top of the cloud.可知frigatebird随着上升的空气气流一路飞向云中。小题4根据最后一句They are blessed with an unusual body. No bird has a larger wing surface area compared with body weight.可知frigatebird与别的鸟不同之处在于它有较大的翅膀。

48. Floating
49. Examples
50. what
【解析】本文为记叙文。作者在文章中记叙了自己在中国的旅行经历。
41. 考查词性转化。live up to“不辜负”，to是介词，所以此处应使用expect的名词形式“期望”。故填expectation(s)。
42. 考查代词。此处应使用形容词性物主代词，意为“它（云南）的少数民族村庄”。故填its。
43. 考查词性转化。此处作moments的定语，“快乐的时刻”，应使用形容词形式。故填enjoyable。

I have two fathers, a rich one and a poor one. One is high educated and intelligent, who completed four years of undergraduate work in less than two years. He them went on Stanford University. The other father never finishes the eighth grade. Therefore, both men are successful in their careers, work hard all their lives. Yet one struggles financially all his life. The other becomes one of the richest men in the Hawaii. And they have very different point of view about the subject of money. The contrast in our points of view is so extreme that we grow puzzling sometimes. I have to spend periods of time figuring out how each is saying.

what
【解析】文中介绍了两个差别很大的父亲，贫富程度不同，所受教育不同。但事业上都很成功。
1. high →highly.考查副词。此处修饰形容词educated用副词，指高等教育，故high →highly.
2. went on后加to.考查介词。此处表示去的方向和目的地，指去斯坦福大学上学，要加介词to后加宾语，故went on后加to.
3. finishes →finished.考查时态。此处指上学时没有完成八年级的学业，表示过去发生的事用过去时，故finishes →finished.
4. Therefore →However.考查副词。另一个父亲没有接受过高等教育，两个人在事业上都很成功。前后句不是因果关系而是转折，单独使用要用However，故Therefore →However.
5. work →working.考查动词形式。此处不是并列句，句中主语both men和work是主动关系，在句中作状语用动词-ing形式，故work →working.
6.去掉the.考查冠词。表示在具体的地方，地名前不加冠词。in Hawaii “在夏威夷”，故去掉the.
7. point →points.考查名词。different后的名词用复数，此处指不同的见解，故point →points.
8.our→their.考查代词。此处指两个父亲的观点差别很大，表示“他们的”用形容词性物主代词their.故our →their.
9. puzzling →puzzled.考查形容词。puzzling “使人迷惑的”常用来修饰物，puzzled “困惑的”常用来修饰人，此处修饰we用puzzled，故puzzling →puzzled.
10.how→what.考查代词。此处作say的宾语，指他们说什么，不表示方式，故how→what.

【答案】
Dear Mike,
How are you doing these days?
Aimed at providing a platform where students can have a chance to exchange and make use of their books, the annual campus book fair will soon be held in our school. The fair will attract a huge crowd from the entire school, who are to sell, purchase and exchange their books with their peers.
As a regular visitor, I’ve found myself increasingly drawn by the fair. For one thing, the fair exhibits books of hundreds of types on diverse topics, motivating us to further develop our reading habits and helping to broaden our horizons. For another, most books are sold at a lower price than what the bookstores offer.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to host such a book fair better.
Yours,
Li Hua

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
An Oceans Vacuum
There’s a collection of plastic trash in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It’s bigger than Texas-and growing. The way to clean it up now is to catch it with nets. That is both costly and slow. Instead, the Ocean Cleanup Project proposes 62-mile-long floating barriers that would use natural currents to trap trash. If next year’s trials succeed, a full cleanup operation would aim to start in 2020. It could reduce the trash by 42% over 10 years.
Easy-On Shoes
In 2012, Mathew Walzer, a high school student with a disability, sent a note to Nike. “My dream is o go to college,” he wrote, “without having to worry about someone coming to tie my shoes every day.” Nike assigned a design team to the challenge. This year, they came out with their solution: the FlyEase. The basketball shoe can be fastened with one hand. A pair of Nike FlyEase shoes sells for $130.
An Airport for Drones(无人机)
As Amazon, Google, and others get ready for drone delivery service, there is one big question: what kinds of home bases will their drones have? Rwanda, in Africa, may have the answer. There, workers will soon start work on three “drone ports”. The goal is to make it easier to transport food, medical supplies, electronics, and other goods through the hilly countryside.

B
I grew up in a troubled home in the 1970s, on the outskirts of downtown Orlando, Florida. Not far away, a three-story house attracted my eyes.
It was nothing like the one I lived in with my mother, a small dark place with rules about befriending others. “Don’t. Never, ever talk to anyone,” my mother said.
One day, in sixth grade, a black-haired woman was introduced to our class: Mrs. Reese. Reese explained that she was starting Spanish Club. She invited anyone interested in learning Spanish language and culture to stay after school.
I could not take my eyes off her bracelets(手镯) and shining rings. The bell rang, and to my shock, no one went up to Mrs. Reese. I was under strict orders to go straight home. But that day, I stayed. I asked Mrs. Reese when the club started.
“We could begin right now if you like,” she said with a smile. I felt beautiful. That day I learned that the house of my dreams was her house. I learned how to answer questions about my age and my favorite food in Spanish. And I learned, Do you want to come over tomorrow for cooking lessons?
I wanted to say “Yes”, but Mom’s words held me back.
I begged my mother all summer and into fall, well after Spanish Club had dissolved. I wept at night sometimes, so worried that Mrs. Reese and her family would move away.
At some point, I managed to wear my mother down and one Saturday afternoon. I rode out to Mrs. Reese’s house.
The details of that afternoon are marked in my mind: We had tea. She painted my toenails red. We made a garlicky picadillo. We spoke in Spanish. In Spanish, my voice was loud and romantic. This is the real me! I remember thinking.
My mother never permitted me another visit to Mrs. Reese’s house. But four decades later, I still remember that day and the life she showed me, proof of a possible future.

English is full of colorful phrases to describe shyness. Someone shy might be called shrinking violet or a wallflower, while for especially nervous types we have the curious expression: they wouldn’t say boo to a goose.
None of these are traditionally seen as positive descriptions, even if you like geese. In a culture of go-getting, high achievers, shy people don’t come first. Or that's what the self-help industry would have you believe. Bookshops are filled with vital tomes(巨著) that promise to help beat social fears and find success in life, love and business. That is why one book, Shrinking Violets: A Field Guide to Shyness, bucks the trend. It became a sudden success across English-language media recently for its new take-on shyness.
Author Joe Moran says that despite struggling with shyness and longing for loneliness all his life, being shy can also be "a gift". Freed from the constant urge to participate and compete in social situations, people are liberated to look at the world in new ways, and gain fresh insights.
Indeed, many of the world's great thinkers and artists are introverts(内向的人). Scientists Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein preferred their own company; actress Keira Knightley often finds herself tongue-tied at parties; and Harry Potter author JK Rowling claims she used to be too nervous to even borrow a pen.
Moran told BBC Future: "I think shyness probably does turn you into an amateur anthropologist(人类学家), really-you are more likely to be an observer."
So, while extroverts make all the noise, they don't necessarily have the best ideas.
If you're shy, you've probably known this for a long time. You just don't shout about it.
8. When someone is being called a wallflower, he is being .
A. praised for his grace B. admired for his character
C. laughed at for his shyness D. told off for his nervousness
9. The underlined phrase “bucks the trend” in Paragraph 2 probably means ” ”.
A. going against the trend and succeeds
B. changing the public idea completely
C. becoming unpopular and unaccepted
D. becoming the major concern of people
10. The author mentioned many famous shy people in order to .
A. point out the harm shyness brings
B. disconnect shyness and success
C. shows the reasons for shyness
D. prove shyness contributes to science
11. What is the author’s attitude towards shyness?
A. Opposed B. Indifferent
C. Supportive D. Critical
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】作者通过畅销书和大量实例说明害羞不一定是坏事，它和成功没有必然联系。害羞是洞察世界的一种新方式。
8. C
推理判断题。根据第一段Someone shy might be called shrinking violet or a wallflower和第二段None of these are traditionally seen as positive descriptions可知被称为shrinking violet或 wallflower都不是积极的褒义的称谓，是别人在嘲笑自己的害羞，故选C.
9. A
猜测词义题。上句Bookshops are filled with vital tomes(巨著) that promise to help beat social fears and find success in life, love and business.说明书店畅销的都是帮助克服恐惧，在生活、爱和商业方面成功的巨著。下句It became a sudden success说明Shrinking Violets: A Field Guide to Shyness这本书与畅销书内容不同，却很成功。所以划线词语“bucks the trend”指与社会潮流相违背却很成功，故选A.
10. B
推理判断题。根据第四段Indeed, many of the world's great thinkers and artists are introverts(内向的人).和下面列举的Charles Darwin，Albert Einstein，Keira Knightley和JK Rowling几个成功人士曾经也很害羞的例子，目的是为了说明成功和害羞没有必然的联系，故选B.
11. C
推理判断题。根据第二段Shrinking Violets: A Field Guide to Shyness, bucks the trend. It became a sudden success可知这本书很成功。第三段being shy can also be "a gift"，people are liberated to look at the world in new ways, and gain fresh insights.可知害羞是看世界的一种新方式。第四段Indeed, many of the world's great thinkers and artists are introverts(内向的人).可知许多害羞的人很成功。最后一段内向和外向进行了对比。由此可知作者对害羞不是反对和批评，而是支持和赞成。故选C.
【名师点睛】
推理判断题属于主观题，是层次较高的题目。它包括判断和推理题。此类题要求在理解表面文字的基础上，做出判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含的意思和深层的意思，也就是通过文章中的文字信息，上下逻辑关系及事物的发展变化等已知的信息，推断出作者没有直接表达的态度和观点。
一、常见的推理判断题的考法：
1)推测作者写作目的或意图。小题3考查作者举例的目的，根据第四段Indeed, many of the world's great thinkers and artists are introverts(内向的人).和下面列举的Charles Darwin，Albert Einstein，Keira Knightley和JK Rowling几个成功人士曾经也很害羞的例子，目的是为了说明成功和害羞没有必然的联系。
D
Frigatebirds seagoing fliers with a 6-foot wingspan, can stay aloft(up in the air) for weeks at a time, a new study has found.
Since the frigatebird spends most of its life at sea, its habits outside of when it reproduces on land aren’t well-known-until researchers started tracking them around the Indian Ocean. What the researchers discovered is that the bird’s flying ability is unbelievable.
Ornithologist(鸟类学家) Henri Weimerskirch put satellite tage(标签) on a couple of dozen frigatebirds. When the data started to come in, he could hardly believe how high the birds flew.
"First, we found, 'Whoa, 1,500 meters. Excellent,' " says Weimerskirch, "And after 2,000, after 3,000, after 4,000 meters-OK, at this altitude they are in freezing conditions, especially surprising for a tropical bird."
"There is no other bird flying so high relative to the sea surface," he says. "It's the only bird that is known to intentionally enter into a cloud," Weimerskirch says. And not just any cloud-a soft, white cumulus cloud(积云). Over the ocean, these clouds tend to form in places where warm air rises from the sea surface. The birds take a ride on the current of rising air, all the way up to the top of the cloud.
Frigatebirds have to find ways to stay aloft because they can't land on the water. Since their feathers aren't waterproof, the birds would drown in short order. They feed by harassing other birds in flight until they bring whatever fish they've swallowed back into their mouth and the frigatebird takes it.
So in between meals, frigatebirds fly higher... and higher.
In one case, for two months-continuously aloft.
One of the tagged birds flew 40 miles without a wing-flap. Several covered more than 300 miles a day on average, and flew continuously for weeks. They are blessed with an unusual body. No bird has a larger wing surface area compared with body weight.
12. How did researchers feel when data about frigatebirds reached them?
A. Calm B. Surprised
C. Hopeful D. Anxious
13. According to the text, how can frigatebirds fly so high?
A. By flying into a cloud
B. With the help of researchers
C. Thanks to advanced technology
D. By following other birds into the sky
14. What does the underlined word ”they” in the text refer to?
A. Frigatebirds B. Other birds
C. Small fish D. Larger fish
15. In what aspect are frigatebirds different from other birds?
A. When they give birth B. What they feed on
C. Their body weight D. Their wing surface area
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】Frigatebird的飞行高度无鸟能比，令人难以相信。文章介绍了它的飞行高度、飞行特点、饮食方法以及导致它能连续高飞的原因。
12. B
细节推理题。根据第三段When the data started to come in, he could hardly believe how high the birds flew.可知当研究者看到frigatebird的飞行数据达到的高度时，感到难以相信，非常吃惊。故选B.
13. A
细节推理题。根据第五段And not just any cloud-a soft, white cumulus cloud(积云). Over the ocean, these clouds tend to form in places where warm air rises from the sea surface. The birds take a ride on the current of rising air, all the way up to the top of the cloud.可知frigatebird随着上升的空气气流一路飞向云中，故选A.
14. B
猜测词义题。此处指frigatebirds靠扰乱其他鸟们的飞行，直到那些鸟把咽下去的鱼吐出来，frigatebirds吃掉这些食物。句中they指的是其他的鸟，故选B.
15. D
细节推理题。根据最后一句They are blessed with an unusual body. No bird has a larger wing surface area compared with body weight.可知frigatebird与别的鸟不同之处在于它有较大的翅膀，故选D.
【名师点睛】
细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的题。事实和细节题的命题特点是：对文章或某一段落中的一些特定细节或文章重要事实的理解，一般包括直接理解题和语义转化题。
做细节理解题具体方法与步骤如下：
1.略读材料，大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨；
2.按文章的体裁，作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词。如for example, first, second…等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实；
3.将自己精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上。快速通篇跳读，全文扫视，找到细节出处，待找到含细节句子时，放慢速度，仔细核对比较内容，直至找到答案。如小题1考查研究者看到frigatebird的飞行数据达到的高度时的态度，根据第三段When the data started to come in, he could hardly believe how high the birds flew.可知当研究者看到frigatebird的飞行数据达到的高度时，感到难以相信，非常吃惊。小题2根据第五段And not just any cloud-a soft, white cumulus cloud(积云). Over the ocean, these clouds tend to form in places where warm air rises from the sea surface. The birds take a ride on the current of rising air, all the way up to the top of the cloud.可知frigatebird随着上升的空气气流一路飞向云中。小题4根据最后一句They are blessed with an unusual body. No bird has a larger wing surface area compared with body weight.可知frigatebird与别的鸟不同之处在于它有较大的翅膀。

48. Floating
49. Examples
50. what
【解析】本文为记叙文。作者在文章中记叙了自己在中国的旅行经历。
41. 考查词性转化。live up to“不辜负”，to是介词，所以此处应使用expect的名词形式“期望”。故填expectation(s)。
42. 考查代词。此处应使用形容词性物主代词，意为“它（云南）的少数民族村庄”。故填its。
43. 考查词性转化。此处作moments的定语，“快乐的时刻”，应使用形容词形式。故填enjoyable。
44. 考查连词。句意：越过峡谷的攀登有时令人筋疲力尽，但总是令人叹为观止。前后句意存在转折关系，应使用连词but。故填but。
45. 考查动词语态。句意：它们的美丽是无法被想象的。根据句意可知，此处应使用被动语态，空前为情态动词，故填be imagined。
46. 考查动词时态。此处描述的是过去的动作，应使用一般过去时。故填left。
47. 考查冠词。此处特指“海南岛”，应使用定冠词，故填the。
48. 考查-ing形式的形容词。此处修饰experiences，应使用-ing形容词，意为“令人放松的经历”。故填relaxing。
49. 考查名词单复数。此处指的是ancient buildings中的例子，所以应使用example的复数形式。故填examples。
50. 考查名词性从句。此处为介词of的宾语从句，连词在从句中作look like的宾语，指代“看起来的样子”，应使用连词what。故填what。

I have two fathers, a rich one and a poor one. One is high educated and intelligent, who completed four years of undergraduate work in less than two years. He them went on Stanford University. The other father never finishes the eighth grade. Therefore, both men are successful in their careers, work hard all their lives. Yet one struggles financially all his life. The other becomes one of the richest men in the Hawaii. And they have very different point of view about the subject of money. The contrast in our points of view is so extreme that we grow puzzling sometimes. I have to spend periods of time figuring out how each is saying.

what
【解析】文中介绍了两个差别很大的父亲，贫富程度不同，所受教育不同。但事业上都很成功。
1. high →highly.考查副词。此处修饰形容词educated用副词，指高等教育，故high →highly.
2. went on后加to.考查介词。此处表示去的方向和目的地，指去斯坦福大学上学，要加介词to后加宾语，故went on后加to.
3. finishes →finished.考查时态。此处指上学时没有完成八年级的学业，表示过去发生的事用过去时，故finishes →finished.
4. Therefore →However.考查副词。另一个父亲没有接受过高等教育，两个人在事业上都很成功。前后句不是因果关系而是转折，单独使用要用However，故Therefore →However.
5. work →working.考查动词形式。此处不是并列句，句中主语both men和work是主动关系，在句中作状语用动词-ing形式，故work →working.
6.去掉the.考查冠词。表示在具体的地方，地名前不加冠词。in Hawaii “在夏威夷”，故去掉the.
7. point →points.考查名词。different后的名词用复数，此处指不同的见解，故point →points.
8.our→their.考查代词。此处指两个父亲的观点差别很大，表示“他们的”用形容词性物主代词their.故our →their.
9. puzzling →puzzled.考查形容词。puzzling “使人迷惑的”常用来修饰物，puzzled “困惑的”常用来修饰人，此处修饰we用puzzled，故puzzling →puzzled.
10.how→what.考查代词。此处作say的宾语，指他们说什么，不表示方式，故how→what.

【答案】
Dear Mike,
How are you doing these days?
Aimed at providing a platform where students can have a chance to exchange and make use of their books, the annual campus book fair will soon be held in our school. The fair will attract a huge crowd from the entire school, who are to sell, purchase and exchange their books with their peers.
As a regular visitor, I’ve found myself increasingly drawn by the fair. For one thing, the fair exhibits books of hundreds of types on diverse topics, motivating us to further develop our reading habits and helping to broaden our horizons. For another, most books are sold at a lower price than what the bookstores offer.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to host such a book fair better.
Yours,
Li Hua
