A
woman
was
walking
her
dog
along
a
beach
in
New
Zealand
in
late
June
when
she
saw
something
that
looked
like
a
white
ball
in
the
sand.It
turned
out
to
be
a
young
Emperor
Penguin
that
was
lost.At
his
age,he
should
have
been
close
to
the
Antarctic,swimming
for
fish
and
playing
on
the
ice
floes(冰川).But
this
penguin
started
swimming
north
and
just
kept
going.
The
penguin
attracted
a
lot
of
attention
in
New
Zealand.It
has
been
40
years
since
an
Emperor
Penguin
was
last
seen
there.Researchers
at
the
Department
of
Conservation
were
called
in.They
decided
to
watch
the
penguin
closely,but
not
to
disturb
it
in
any
way.Many
New
Zealanders
came
to
Peka
Peka
Beach
to
look
at
the
elegant
penguin.They
were
careful
to
keep
their
dogs
away
from
him
so
he
wouldn't
be
frightened.
The
public
nicknamed
the
animal
Happy
Feet.Researchers
started
to
notice
that
Happy
Feet
didn't
seem
well.It
turned
out
that
he
had
been
eating
the
sand
from
the
beach,likely
thinking
it
was
snow.
The
public
raised
more
than
11,000
pounds
for
an
operation
to
get
the
sand
out
of
his
stomach.The
operation
was
a
success,and
Happy
Feet
was
taken
to
a
zoo
in
Wellington,NZ.A
group
of
experts
met
to
decide
how
to
help
Happy
Feet
return
to
the
wild.
Last
Sunday,they
put
him
on
a
boat
called
the
Tangaroa,in
a
specially
built
ice?filled
box
and
took
him
out
into
the
Southern
Ocean,southeast
of
New
Zealand.There,they
released
him
into
the
ocean,which
is
his
natural
habitat.He
took
one
last
look
at
his
human
helpers
and
then
dived
into
the
ocean.
“Emperor
Penguins
spend
their
first
five
years
at
sea,”said
Peter
Simpson
of
New
Zealand's
Department
of
Conservation.“What
happens
now
is
up
to
the
penguin.”
Happy
Feet
was
fitted
with
a
satellite
transmitter(发射机)so
they
can
monitor
his
progress
using
the
Internet.So
far,the
trackers
show
that
he
swam
northeast
for
a
little
while
before
getting
his
bearings
and
heading
south.

C
Before
I
studied
psychology,I
used
to
think
that
people
would
laugh
when
funny
things
occurred.While
I
was
right
about
that,I
discovered
there
are
lots
of
other
psychological
factors
that
make
people
laugh
other
than
the
funny
part
of
a
joke.When
someone
laughs
at
a
joke,there
will
usually
be
more
than
one
reason
that
makes
him
laugh—and
the
more
reasons
there
are,the
more
powerful
the
joke
will
be.
I
was
attending
a
stand?up
comedy
show
in
Egypt,and
when
the
man
started
to
make
fun
of
pedestrians
crossing
streets,everyone
laughed
their
hearts
out.The
main
reason
those
people
strongly
laughed
was
that
almost
all
of
them
felt
angry
towards
pedestrians
who
crossed
streets
carelessly.The
joke
wasn't
only
funny,it
also
made
the
audience
feel
that
they
were
right
about
being
angry
at
those
pedestrians.That
is,people
were
laughing
both
because
of
the
funny
joke
and
because
of
the
happiness
experienced
as
a
result
of
the
psychological
support
they
got.
The
better
a
joke
makes
a
person
feel,and
the
more
it
includes
other
psychological
factors,the
more
the
person
will
like
it.For
example,if
you
envy
one
of
your
friends,and
someone
tells
a
joke
that
is
funny
and,at
the
same
time,makes
your
friend
seem
stupid,then
you
will
probably
laugh
at
it
louder
than
if
you
weren't
jealous
of
him.
In
short,we
don't
laugh
only
when
we
hear
something
funny;we
also
laugh
when
we
experience
some
kind
of
happiness
that
results
from
the
other
psychological
factors
involved
in
the
joke.I
strongly
discourage
making
fun
of
anyone
or
belittling
someone
to
make
someone
else
laugh.All
I
want
to
explain
is
that
if
your
joke
supports
a
person's
emotions,he
will
certainly
like
it
a
lot.
【语篇解读】 本文属于议论文,主要介绍了人们对于笑话或某一事情发笑不仅仅是因为笑话或事情本身可笑,还有一些其他的心理因素。

factors
lead
to
people
laughing.

things

loud
at
the
pedestrians?

played
a
trick
on
the
pedestrians.

a
funny
way.

of
the
funny
joke
and

of
the
happiness

does
the
underlined
word“belittling”probably
mean?
A.Annoy.
B.Blame.
C.Look
down
on.
D.Make
up
to.
C [词义猜测题。根据or前面的“making
fun
of
anyone(嘲笑他人)”可知,or前后连接的词义应相似,所以画线词的意思应为“瞧不起某人”。故C正确。]
11.What
is
the
author's
attitude
towards
those
who
take
pleasure
in
making
fun
of
others?
A.Defensive.
B.Indifferent.
C.Negative.
D.Casual.
C [观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“I
strongly
discourage
making
fun
of
anyone
or
belittling
someone
to
make
someone
else
laugh.”可知作者强烈反对以取笑别人为乐,故C正确。]
D
Rick
Anderson
says
he
isn't
scared
of
sharks
and
he
is
appealing
to
others
to
learn
to
love
them.
“I
try
to
convince
people
that
looking
at
a
shark
eye
to
eye
is
totally
different
to
sitting
on
a
surfboard
or
a
boat
looking
at
every
shadow
that
goes
underneath
thinking
it's
a
shark
coming
to
get
them,”he
said.“Eye
to
eye
they
look
at
you,you
look
at
them
and
you
go
your
own
way.”
“I
find
that
once
people
see
their
first
sharks,their
whole
attitude
changes.They
realize
that
they
are
not
as
scary
as
what
they
thought
they
were,”Mr
Anderson
said.He
compares
sharks
to
dogs,in
the
way
they
show
their
behavior
and
attitude
towards
humans.“You're
not
going
to
go
up
to
a
dog
that
is
arching(拱起)its
back
and
making
a
low
sound
in
the
throat
at
you,”he
said.“If
a
shark
is
arching
and
its
fins(鳍)are
down,it's
telling
you
to
move
on.”He
admits
he
thought
the
shark
was
trying
to
attack
him
the
first
few
times.
Mr
Anderson
is
against
the
controversial
policy
introduced
in
Western
Australia
to
kill
a
shark
if
it
presents
a
threat
to
humans.He
said
many
of
the
same
things
that
occur
in
Western
Australia
are
also
happening
in
New
South
Wales.
Mr
Anderson
said
that
sharks
come
closer
to
shore
because
they
are
attracted
to
the
smell
of
whale
carcasses(尸体)which
have
broken
down
after
being
buried
in
the
sand
on
many
beaches.
Mr
Anderson
often
sees
grey
nurse
sharks,fur
seals,leopard
seals,penguins
and
fishes
of
a
range
of
colours
in
the
Pacific
Ocean
along
Bellingen
Shire.“Depending
on
the
time
of
the
year,you
can
get
a
good
mixture
of
sea
creatures
moving
through
there,”he
said.Tiger
sharks
are
his
favourite
kind
of
sharks.He
describes
them
as
pig?headed
but
also
graceful
creatures.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文,话题是动物类。对里克·安德森而言,鲨鱼不但不可怕,甚至还成了他在海中结交的好朋友。
12.What
does
Mr
Anderson
probably
do?
A.A
boatman.
B.A
diver.
C.A
surfer.
D.A
fisherman.
B [推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知,安德森先生可能是一名潜水员。]
13.What
does
Mr
Anderson
indicate
by
comparing
sharks
to
dogs?
A.Sharks
have
the
same
behavior
as
dogs.
B.Sharks
are
naturally
friendly
to
human
beings.
C.Sharks
can
be
lovely
creatures
if
properly
trained.
D.Sharks
can
send
messages
through
their
behavior.
D [推理判断题。狗弓背并发出低沉的喉音说明你不能接近它,而鲨鱼弓背,垂鳍的时候说明你可以继续前进,这两种动物都能通过身体动作向人们传达某种信息。故选D。]
14.What
mistake
did
Mr
Anderson
once
make?
A.He
never
looked
at
sharks
eye
to
eye.
B.He
once
saw
sharks
as
a
scary
animal.
C.He
misunderstood
a
shark's
arching
its
back.
D.He
didn't
allow
sharks
to
get
close
to
shores.
C [细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知,安德森先生曾经误解了鲨鱼做出的“弓背,垂鳍”的动作,认为它是在试图攻击他。]
15.What
do
we
know
about
the
Pacific
Ocean
along
Bellingen
Shire?
A.It's
Mr
Anderson's
favorite
place.
B.It's
a
popular
place
for
tourists.
C.It's
open
in
certain
times
of
the
year.
D.It's
where
Mr
Anderson
trains
sharks.
A [推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,在沿着Bellingen
Shire的太平洋能看到很多种海洋生物,还有他最喜欢的虎鲨,所以可推断出沿着Bellingen
Shire的太平洋是安德森先生最喜欢的地方。]

Kirschner创办了一个名叫Litterati的app,鼓励人们清理垃圾保护环境。
36.to [考查固定搭配。动词短语do
harm
to意为“对……有害”,故填介词to。]
37.to
settle [考查非谓语动词。句中不定式短语to
settle
this

settle。]
38.broken [考查形容词。形容词broken意为“坏了的”,在句中充当定语,修饰plastic

worldwide与动词see构成主动关系,要用现在分词作状语。故填Seeing。]
43.have

now通常与现在完成时连用,所以要填have
found。]
44.effective [考查词性转换。形容词effective意为“有效的”,在句中充当定语修饰名词solution。故填形容词effective。]
45.whoever [考查让步状语从句。由空前的“Wherever

you

I'm
so
glad
to
hear
that
you
are
planning
to
hold
activities
about
Chinese
poetry.To
make
it
more

some
advice.
To

better
introduce
the
history
of
Chinese
poetry
which
dates
from
ancient
times
briefly.Then
you
could
share
different
forms
of
poems
with
students.It's
also
recommended
that
students
write
some
poems
of
their
own.
I
hope
you'll
find
these
suggestions
helpful
and
wish
you
success!

Ⅵ.概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Rats
eat
our
food
or
make
it
so
dirty
that
it
isn't
fit
for
people
at
all.That's
why
people
often
kill
them
by
laying
down
poison.After
a
day
or
two,they
find
the
poison
still
there.The
rats
haven't
touched
it,even
though
it
is
near
the
food
which
they
eat.People
think
they
must
be
clever
and
cunning.Some
scientists
have
been
trying
to
find
the
best
way
to
poison
rats.They
have
watched
to
see
just
what
a
rat
does
day
and
night.They
have
found
out
that
rats
aren't
so
clever.They
are
just
very
shy.
Rats
usually
live
in
holes.They
run
from
these
holes
to
the
places
where
they
eat
and
drink.They
have
special
paths
on
which
they
travel
each
time.So
they
know
their
paths
quite
well.
If
anything
new,such
as
stone
or
wood,is
put
in
the
path,the
rats
won't
go
near
it
at
first
as
they
are
too
frightened.It
will
take
them
many
days
to
get
over
the
fear.They
are
also
frightened
to
go
near
a
place
that
they
know,where
something
has
been
taken
away.If
a
path
goes
around
a
rock,the
rats
follow
the
same
path
around
the
rock
each
time.If
the
rock
is
taken
away,they
will
still
run
round
the
place
where
the
rock
was!
They
won't
cross
the
empty
place,which
is
now
open
to
them,even
though
it
would
be
quicker.
Rats
will
always
keep
away
from
anything
unusual
to
them.That's
why
they
won't
eat
poison
on
the
first
or
second
night.They
usually
won't
go
anywhere
near
it
for
about
four
days
until
they
get
used
to
being
there.Even
then
they
only
eat
a
little
at
a
time.If
people
want
to
kill
rats
with
poison,all
they
have
to
do
is
to
leave
it
out
for
a
few
days.Once
the
rats
have
got
used
to
it,they
will
eat
it
and
die.

[参考范文]
It
is
generally
considered
that
rats
are
smart
enough
not
to
be
poisoned.That's
not
true.Actually,they
just
refuse
to
accept
new
things.Rats
are
familiar
with
their
particular
paths.If
any
change
takes
place
on
their
usual
paths,they
feel
unsafe
to
use
them.Generally
speaking,it
took
several
days
for
rats
to
adjust
themselves
to
their
new
surroundings.Therefore,they
won't
be
poisoned
until
they
become
familiar
with
the
change.

A
woman
was
walking
her
dog
along
a
beach
in
New
Zealand
in
late
June
when
she
saw
something
that
looked
like
a
white
ball
in
the
sand.It
turned
out
to
be
a
young
Emperor
Penguin
that
was
lost.At
his
age,he
should
have
been
close
to
the
Antarctic,swimming
for
fish
and
playing
on
the
ice
floes(冰川).But
this
penguin
started
swimming
north
and
just
kept
going.
The
penguin
attracted
a
lot
of
attention
in
New
Zealand.It
has
been
40
years
since
an
Emperor
Penguin
was
last
seen
there.Researchers
at
the
Department
of
Conservation
were
called
in.They
decided
to
watch
the
penguin
closely,but
not
to
disturb
it
in
any
way.Many
New
Zealanders
came
to
Peka
Peka
Beach
to
look
at
the
elegant
penguin.They
were
careful
to
keep
their
dogs
away
from
him
so
he
wouldn't
be
frightened.
The
public
nicknamed
the
animal
Happy
Feet.Researchers
started
to
notice
that
Happy
Feet
didn't
seem
well.It
turned
out
that
he
had
been
eating
the
sand
from
the
beach,likely
thinking
it
was
snow.
The
public
raised
more
than
11,000
pounds
for
an
operation
to
get
the
sand
out
of
his
stomach.The
operation
was
a
success,and
Happy
Feet
was
taken
to
a
zoo
in
Wellington,NZ.A
group
of
experts
met
to
decide
how
to
help
Happy
Feet
return
to
the
wild.
Last
Sunday,they
put
him
on
a
boat
called
the
Tangaroa,in
a
specially
built
ice?filled
box
and
took
him
out
into
the
Southern
Ocean,southeast
of
New
Zealand.There,they
released
him
into
the
ocean,which
is
his
natural
habitat.He
took
one
last
look
at
his
human
helpers
and
then
dived
into
the
ocean.
“Emperor
Penguins
spend
their
first
five
years
at
sea,”said
Peter
Simpson
of
New
Zealand's
Department
of
Conservation.“What
happens
now
is
up
to
the
penguin.”
Happy
Feet
was
fitted
with
a
satellite
transmitter(发射机)so
they
can
monitor
his
progress
using
the
Internet.So
far,the
trackers
show
that
he
swam
northeast
for
a
little
while
before
getting
his
bearings
and
heading
south.
4.Where
is
the
young
penguin
supposed
to
appear?
A.On
the
sunny
beach.
B.Inside
the
hole
in
the
ice.
C.Near
the
Antarctic.
D.In
the
depths
of
the
ocean.
5.How
was
the
penguin
treated
after
he
was
found
in
New
Zealand?
A.He
was
protected
well
and
taken
good
care
of.
B.He
was
sent
to
the
local
zoo
and
attracted
much
attention.
C.He
was
taken
to
the
lab
by
researchers
for
study.
D.He
was
disturbed
by
many
curious
New
Zealanders.
6.The
public
collected
some
money
to________.
A.do
some
research
on
the
penguin
B.build
a
home
for
the
penguin
C.get
the
sand
out
of
the
penguin's
belly
D.return
the
penguin
to
his
habitat
7.What
happened
to
the
penguin
in
the
end
according
to
the
passage?
A.He
was
put
in
a
specially
built
ice?filled
box
on
a
boat.
B.He
was
brought
to
the
Southern
Ocean
and
released.
C.He
reached
his
home—the
Antarctic.
D.He

northeast
from

Southern

C
Before
I
studied
psychology,I
used
to
think
that
people
would
laugh
when
funny
things
occurred.While
I
was
right
about
that,I
discovered
there
are
lots
of
other
psychological
factors
that
make
people
laugh
other
than
the
funny
part
of
a
joke.When
someone
laughs
at
a
joke,there
will
usually
be
more
than
one
reason
that
makes
him
laugh—and
the
more
reasons
there
are,the
more
powerful
the
joke
will
be.
I
was
attending
a
stand?up
comedy
show
in
Egypt,and
when
the
man
started
to
make
fun
of
pedestrians
crossing
streets,everyone
laughed
their
hearts
out.The
main
reason
those
people
strongly
laughed
was
that
almost
all
of
them
felt
angry
towards
pedestrians
who
crossed
streets
carelessly.The
joke
wasn't
only
funny,it
also
made
the
audience
feel
that
they
were
right
about
being
angry
at
those
pedestrians.That
is,people
were
laughing
both
because
of
the
funny
joke
and
because
of
the
happiness
experienced
as
a
result
of
the
psychological
support
they
got.
The
better
a
joke
makes
a
person
feel,and
the
more
it
includes
other
psychological
factors,the
more
the
person
will
like
it.For
example,if
you
envy
one
of
your
friends,and
someone
tells
a
joke
that
is
funny
and,at
the
same
time,makes
your
friend
seem
stupid,then
you
will
probably
laugh
at
it
louder
than
if
you
weren't
jealous
of
him.
In
short,we
don't
laugh
only
when
we
hear
something
funny;we
also
laugh
when
we
experience
some
kind
of
happiness
that
results
from
the
other
psychological
factors
involved
in
the
joke.I
strongly
discourage
making
fun
of
anyone
or
belittling
someone
to
make
someone
else
laugh.All
I
want
to
explain
is
that
if
your
joke
supports
a
person's
emotions,he
will
certainly
like
it
a
lot.

Rick
Anderson
says
he
isn't
scared
of
sharks
and
he
is
appealing
to
others
to
learn
to
love
them.
“I
try
to
convince
people
that
looking
at
a
shark
eye
to
eye
is
totally
different
to
sitting
on
a
surfboard
or
a
boat
looking
at
every
shadow
that
goes
underneath
thinking
it's
a
shark
coming
to
get
them,”he
said.“Eye
to
eye
they
look
at
you,you
look
at
them
and
you
go
your
own
way.”
“I
find
that
once
people
see
their
first
sharks,their
whole
attitude
changes.They
realize
that
they
are
not
as
scary
as
what
they
thought
they
were,”Mr
Anderson
said.He
compares
sharks
to
dogs,in
the
way
they
show
their
behavior
and
attitude
towards
humans.“You're
not
going
to
go
up
to
a
dog
that
is
arching(拱起)its
back
and
making
a
low
sound
in
the
throat
at
you,”he
said.“If
a
shark
is
arching
and
its
fins(鳍)are
down,it's
telling
you
to
move
on.”He
admits
he
thought
the
shark
was
trying
to
attack
him
the
first
few
times.
Mr
Anderson
is
against
the
controversial
policy
introduced
in
Western
Australia
to
kill
a
shark
if
it
presents
a
threat
to
humans.He
said
many
of
the
same
things
that
occur
in
Western
Australia
are
also
happening
in
New
South
Wales.
Mr
Anderson
said
that
sharks
come
closer
to
shore
because
they
are
attracted
to
the
smell
of
whale
carcasses(尸体)which
have
broken
down
after
being
buried
in
the
sand
on
many
beaches.
Mr
Anderson
often
sees
grey
nurse
sharks,fur
seals,leopard
seals,penguins
and
fishes
of
a
range
of
colours
in
the
Pacific
Ocean
along
Bellingen
Shire.“Depending
on
the
time
of
the
year,you
can
get
a
good
mixture
of
sea
creatures
moving
through
there,”he
said.Tiger
sharks
are
his
favourite
kind
of
sharks.He
describes
them
as
pig?headed
but
also
graceful
creatures.
12.What
does
Mr
Anderson
probably
do?
A.A
boatman.
B.A
diver.
C.A
surfer.
D.A
fisherman.
13.What
does
Mr
Anderson
indicate
by
comparing
sharks
to
dogs?
A.Sharks
have
the
same
behavior
as
dogs.
B.Sharks
are
naturally
friendly
to
human
beings.
C.Sharks
can
be
lovely
creatures
if
properly
trained.
D.Sharks
can
send
messages
through
their
behavior.
14.What
mistake
did
Mr
Anderson
once
make?
A.He
never
looked
at
sharks
eye
to
eye.
B.He
once
saw
sharks
as
a
scary
animal.
C.He
misunderstood
a
shark's
arching
its
back.
D.He
didn't
allow
sharks
to
get
close
to
shores.
15.What
do
we
know
about
the
Pacific
Ocean
along
Bellingen
Shire?
A.It's
Mr
Anderson's
favorite
place.
B.It's
a
popular
place
for
tourists.
C.It's
open
in
certain
times
of

Ⅵ.概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Rats
eat
our
food
or
make
it
so
dirty
that
it
isn't
fit
for
people
at
all.That's
why
people
often
kill
them
by
laying
down
poison.After
a
day
or
two,they
find
the
poison
still
there.The
rats
haven't
touched
it,even
though
it
is
near
the
food
which
they
eat.People
think
they
must
be
clever
and
cunning.Some
scientists
have
been
trying
to
find
the
best
way
to
poison
rats.They
have
watched
to
see
just
what
a
rat
does
day
and
night.They
have
found
out
that
rats
aren't
so
clever.They
are
just
very
shy.
Rats
usually
live
in
holes.They
run
from
these
holes
to
the
places
where
they
eat
and
drink.They
have
special
paths
on
which
they
travel
each
time.So
they
know
their
paths
quite
well.
If
anything
new,such
as
stone
or
wood,is
put
in
the
path,the
rats
won't
go
near
it
at
first
as
they
are
too
frightened.It
will
take
them
many
days
to
get
over
the
fear.They
are
also
frightened
to
go
near
a
place
that
they
know,where
something
has
been
taken
away.If
a
path
goes
around
a
rock,the
rats
follow
the
same
path
around
the
rock
each
time.If
the
rock
is
taken
away,they
will
still
run
round
the
place
where
the
rock
was!
They
won't
cross
the
empty
place,which
is
now
open
to
them,even
though
it
would
be
quicker.
Rats
will
always
keep
away
from
anything
unusual
to
them.That's
why
they
won't
eat
poison
on
the
first
or
second
night.They
usually
won't
go
anywhere
near
it
for
about
four
days
until
they
get
used
to
being
there.Even
then
they
only
eat
a
little
at
a
time.If
people
want
to
kill
rats
with
poison,all
they
have
to
do
is
to
leave
it
out
for
a
few
days.Once
the
rats
have
got
used
to
it,they
will
eat
it
and
die.
