文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了非洲乞力马扎罗山的环境污染以及当地机构努力治理之后环境的改观情况。
1.A.keep   B.mix  
C.connect  D.bring
解析:上文语境题。根据第一句“Every year about 40,000 people attempt to climb Kilimanjaro...”可知,每年大约有4万人试图攀登乞力马扎罗山,所以他们攀登的时候带来(bring)了很多垃圾。
2.A.stories B.buildings
C.crowds D.reporters
解析:上文语境题。联系上文中的“about 40,000 people”可知,这些人群(crowds)有可能破坏这个地方的美。
3.A.position B.age
C.face D.name
解析:上文语境题。联系上文中的“The glaciers are disappearing”可知,冰川的消失正在改变乞力马扎罗山的面貌(face)。
4.A.silent B.skeptical
C.serious D.crazy
解析:下文语境题。联系下文“other destinations are described as ‘purer’ natural experiences”可知,其他目的地被描述为“更纯粹的”自然体验,所以作者对乞力马扎罗山被严重破坏的报道表示怀疑(skeptical)。be skeptical about对……表示怀疑。silent沉默的;serious严肃的;crazy 疯狂的。
5.A.discover B.argue
C.decide D.advocate
解析:下文语境题。联系下文的“much has changed”可知,作者发现(discover)了乞力马扎罗山的变化。argue争论;decide决定;advocate提倡。
6.A.equipment B.grass
C.camps D.stones
解析:下文语境题。联系下文中的“with toilets at camps”可知,这里报道的是营地(camp)。
7.A.remote B.quiet
C.tall D.clean
解析:上下文语境题。联系上文However(然而)及下文“with toilets at camps and along the paths”(营地和路边都有厕所)”可推知,作者看到的是干净的(clean)山。
8.A.new B.special
C.significant D.necessary
解析:上文语境题。上文提到乞力马扎罗山有众多游客,而且有很多垃圾,还有令人心烦的诸多报道,由此可知,这里面临的环境挑战是重大的(significant)。new新的;special特殊的;necessary有必要的。
9.A.paying off B.spreading out
C.blowing up D.fading away
解析:上文语境题。联系前文的“with toilets at camps and along the paths”可知,坦桑尼亚国家公园管理局所做的努力似乎正在奏效(pay off)。spread out展开;blow up爆炸;fade away逐渐消失。
10.A.atmosphere B.experience
C.experiment D.sight
解析:下文语境题。联系下文“reaching the top”可知,作者认为乞力马扎罗山最好的爬山体验(experience)并不是登顶。atmosphere气氛;experiment实验;sight视线。
11.A.studied B.observed
C.explored D.regarded
解析:下文语境题。联系空后的“by many cultures”可知,山在很多文化中被看作是(regard)灵魂之地,be regarded as被看作是……。study研究;observe观察;explore探索。
12.A.view B.quality
C.reason D.purpose
解析:上下文语境题。结合上文的“文化观”,再联系下文的“go through five ecosystems”可知,这种“经历五种生态系统”的景色(view)在乞力马扎罗山表现尤为明显。quality品质;reason原因;purpose目的。
13.A.scientists B.climbers
C.locals D.officials
解析:上文语境题。联系上文的“Every year about 40,000 people attempt to climb Kilimanjaro...”可知,爬山的人(climbers)可以经历五种生态系统。scientist科学家;local本地人;official官员。
14.A.holding on to B.going back to
C.living up to D.giving way to
解析:上文语境题。联系上文的“It ends abruptly at 3,000 meters”可知,热带雨林在3 000米处突然中止,取而代之的是生长着低矮植物的土地。give way to意为“被……代替”,符合语境。hold on to坚持;go back to回到;live up to不辜负。
15.A.changes B.clears
C.improves D.permits
解析:上下文语境题。上文介绍了五种生态系统中的两种,再联系下文的“low clouds envelop the mountainsides”可知,在这里气候又发生了变化(change)。clear清除;improve改善;permit允许。
16.A.match B.imagine
C.count D.add
解析:下文语境题。联系空后的“twelve shades of green”可知,作者数出了(count)12种绿色。
17.A.village B.desert
C.road D.lake
解析:下文语境题。联系冒号后的“gravel(砾石),stones and rocks”可知,4 000米以上是荒漠(desert)。
18.A.Obviously B.Easily
C.Consequently D.Finally
解析:上下文语境题。上文介绍了从山下到山上的五个生态系统,所以这里说最后(finally)爬到了一个像北极圈一样的区域。obviously明显地;easily容易地;consequently因此,所以。
19.A.permanent B.little
C.fresh D.artificial
解析:上文语境题。联系上文的“climb into an arctic-like zone”可知,攀登者到了一个像北极圈的地方,所以这里是指常年积雪。permanent意为“永久的,永恒的”,符合语境。little少的;fresh新鲜的;artificial人造的。
20.A.enjoy B.deserve
C.save D.acquire
解析:下文语境题。联系下文的“I found the opposite to be true.”可知,作者在这里进行反问:乞力马扎罗山真的应该获得(deserve)游人如织,破坏了其平和景象的拥挤山脉这一名声吗?
Ⅳ.阅读理解
The Louvre, in Paris, France, has almost 275,000 works of art.It contains some of the most famous works of art in the history of the world, including the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci.
The Louvre was originally a fort (a strong building used by soldiers for defending a place) built by King Philip Ⅱ sometime around AD 1200.In the 1300s, it became a royal house for Charles V, who had it renovated (翻新).While he did have his own collection of art there, everything disappeared when he died.
This impressive building remained empty until 1527, when Francois Ⅰ decided that he wanted it for his private palace.Francois Ⅰ was a collector of early Italian Renaissance art at the time, and already owned the Mona Lisa.However, he would not move into the Louvre until it was completely renovated and made even more splendid than it had been during the rule of Charles V.
Unfortunately, Francois Ⅰ died before the work was completed, but the work continued until the death of the head architect.Afterwards, several generations of French royalty lived in the palace until Louis ⅩⅣ, the last of the French rulers to call the Louvre home, left in 1682.The Louvre, however, was far from abandoned.For about 30 years after Louis X Ⅳ's death in 1715, the Louvre became the home of artists and scholars.Its art collection grew from about 200 paintings in 1643 to about 2,500 works of art in 1715.
It was a center of creativity, until the public began to be admitted in 1793.Throughout the French Revolution and the years ruled by Napoleon Ⅰ, the art collection in the Louvre grew greatly.
Napoleon robbed art from all over the world and added it to the Louvre's collection.After Napoleon's death in 1821, the original owners reclaimed (要求归还) much of the robbed artwork.Over the last 100 years, art colleges have been set up at the Louvre, and it has become one of the largest museums in the world.
文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了法国卢浮宫悠久而不寻常的历史。
1.What do we learn about the Louvre? D
A.It became an art college in 1821.
B.It was first constructed as a royal house.
C.It was abandoned in the fourteenth century.
D.It became a meeting place for culture after 1715.
解析:细节理解题。由第四段中的“For about 30 years after Louis ⅪⅤ's death in 1715, the Louvre became the home of artists and scholars.”可知,在1715年之后,卢浮宫一度成为文艺人士的集会地点。
2.According to the text, Francois I A .
A.had never lived in the Louvre
B.led a simple life during his life
C.lost all his collection on his death
D.received all artwork from Charles Ⅴ
解析:推理判断题。由第三段中的“However, he would not...the rule of Charles Ⅴ.”和第四段中的“Unfortunately, Francois I died...the head architect.”可知,法兰西斯一世没有在卢浮宫里住过。
3.When was the Louvre open to the public? D
A.In 1643.        B.In 1682.
C.In 1715. D.In 1793.
解析:细节理解题。由第五段中的“It was a center of creativity, until the public began to be admitted in 1793.”可知,从1793年开始,卢浮宫开始对公众开放。
4.Who brought the huge increase in the amount of artwork in the Louvre? C
A.Charles Ⅴ. B.Francois I.
C.Napoleon I. D.Louis ⅩⅣ.
解析:细节理解题。由第五段中的“Throughout the French Revolution and the years ruled by Napoleon I, the art collection in the Louvre grew greatly.”可知,拿破仑一世让卢浮宫的藏品数量巨幅增长。
Ⅴ.七选五
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项。
Some people describe American society as a salad bowl while others think of it as a melting pot.
In a bowl of salad, all the ingredients are mixed together. 1.B Together, however, the ingredients make up a unity.All the ingredients of a salad contribute to the finished product.They may be covered with the same dressing (调味酱), but the green vegetables, tomatoes and cooked corn can all be seen for what they are.
From this point of view, America is very much like a salad bowl where individual ethnic groups mix together, yet maintain their cultural uniqueness.People may work together during the day at similar jobs and in the same companies, but at night they may return to their ethnic groups where their own individual culture directs their way of life. 2.C Each ethnic group has its own special customs, language, food and traditions to protect and defend.This idea of the salad bowl is referred to as cultural diversity;that is, American society is a collection of various cultures living together in harmony within one country.
 3.G Here, society is like one large pot of soup.All cultural aspects are mixed together,sacrificing their original identity and keeping a bit of what they were to become a new reality.The longer the soup is cooked, the better the taste and the more likely it will be for the mixture to dissolve.In this sense, America can surely be seen as a melting pot where people from all over the world come to live and work together forming one nation.There are dozens of shared symbols. 4.F In such a culture, symbols like the flag and the nation's official song serve to break down the walls which separate ethnic groups.
Whether a salad bowl or a melting pot, America can be best described as a mixture of both. 5.D 
A.Both are correct depending on one's point of view.
B.They never lose their shapes, colors or tastes.
C.This is why there is so much diversity within America.
D.In other words, America is a nation where there is unity in diversity.
E.Thus, one needs to abandon one's culture to be considered “American”.
F.They serve to develop the various ethnic groups to create a new American culture.
G.The other theory, which is also used to describe American society, is the melting pot.
文章大意:有的人把美国社会描述为“沙拉碗”,有的人认为它是“大熔炉”。实际上,美国的特点并非非此即彼,而是在差异中存在统一。
解析:
1.根据设空处前面的a bowl of salad及本段最后一句,分析各个选项可知,只有B项“它们从来不会失去它们的形状、颜色和味道。”描述的与沙拉有关。They指代前句中的all the ingredients(所有的材料)。故选B项。
2.根据分析,本段继续描述美国像“沙拉碗”,前后为因果关系:“多个民族”融合,但是“保持着各自的独特性”,使得人们白天可能从事相似的工作,但是下班后沿用各自民
族的生活方式,这就是美国“多样性”的原因。故选C项。
3.文章第一段提出“沙拉碗”和“大熔炉”两个理论。第二、三两段详细描述了“沙拉碗”理论。设空处位于第四段段首,再根据本段中的one large pot及a melting pot可知选G项,引出下文对第二个理论的描述。
4.本段最后三句围绕shared symbols(共享的符号)展开:有许多“共享的符号”,因而“它们”有助于不同的民族发展以便创造一个新的美国文化,而在这样的文化中,美国国旗和国歌这些符号有助于打破种族分裂的藩篱。F项中They指代前句中的shared symbols。故选F项。
5.本段两句话总结全文:“美国将‘沙拉碗’和‘大熔炉’两大特点融合在一起。‘换句话说’,美国是一个‘多样性中存在统一’的国家”。D项中unity in diversity是第一句中a mixture of both的另一种说法。故选D项。

解析:考查主谓一致和时态。句意:江苏的人口已经增长到1949年两倍多,现在接近74,000,000。人口作为一个整体作主语时谓语动词用单数形式。根据句意可知江苏的人口不断增长,是1949年的两倍多,因此应该使用现在完成时。Africa's second longest  has grown (1)本句是主从复合句,其中主句是no one really knows, when引导一个宾语从句。本句可写成:No one really knows exactly when the first people arrived in what we now know as California.

②We can learn _____________________________.

加州的与众不同之处也在于它是美国最具多元文化特征的一个州,它吸引了来自世界各地的人们。(1)现在分词的完成式主要作时间和原因状语,表示发生在谓语动作之前的动作。

她干完工作就回家了。(表示时间)
Having failed twice,he didn’t want to try again.
他已经失败了两次,不想再试了。(表示原因)

锁好门之后,他就出去了。
Having invited him here to speak,we'd better go to his lecture.
既然我们请了他来这儿作报告,我们最好去听一下。
(3)现在分词的完成式一般不作定语,若要表达完成意义最好用定语从句。

①(高考真题改编)In art criticism, you must assume the artist has a secret message __________(hide)within the work.
解析:考查分词作定语。句意:在艺术批评中,你必须假设艺术家在作品中隐藏了一个秘密信息。本句中名词短语a secret message 与动词hide构成被动关系,所以使用过去分词短语hidden within the work 在句中做后置定语,修饰名词短语a secret message,相当于定语从句that/which is hidden within the work。hidden  翻译句子
②越来越多的人死于癌症。

他总是第一个到。

船长是最后一个离开那艘正在下沉的船的。6.The nearest, and therefore the first to arrive, were South Americans and people from the United States.

He is a pleasant fellow to work with.
他是个很好共事的人。
We have a warm room to live in.
我们有间温暖的屋子可以住。
(2)若被修饰的词是不定式的逻辑宾语,但不定式的动作并不是句子的主语发出的,不定式需用被动形式。—Do you have anything to be typed, sir?
——先生,你有东西要打吗?(打字这一动作并不是you发出的,故用不定式的被动式)
—No,thanks.
——没有,谢谢。单句语法填空

(1)强调句型可以强调除谓语动词以外的任何句子成分。一般说来,如果被强调部分是人时,用连词that或who;如果被强调部分是物,只能用连词that。强调句型应避免使用when, where, which 等连词。8.Although Chinese immigrants began to arrive during the Gold Rush Period, it was the building of the rail net from the west to the east coast that brought even larger numbers to California in the 1860s.

③It was 2 o'clock that he arrived home last night.
that→when或was后加at
④It was him who helped me when I was in trouble.
him→heit在句子中作形式主语,形成“It(形式主语)+is+过去分词+that从句(真正主语)”句式;It's said/reported/announced/believed that...“据说/据报道/据宣布/大家认为……”。
