Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
Every
year
thousands
of
tourists
visit
Pompeii,
Italy.They
see
the
sights
that
Pompeii
is
famous
for,
such
as
its
stadium,
theatres,
shops
and
restaurants.The
tourists
do
not,
however,
see
Pompeii's
people.They
do
not
see
them
because
Pompeii
has
no
people.No
one
has
lived
in
Pompeii
for
almost
2,000
years.
Once,
Pompeii
was
a
busy
city
of
22,000
people.It
lay
at
the
foot
of
Mount
Vesuvius,
a
grass?covered
volcano.Mount
Vesuvius
had
not
erupted
for
centuries,
so
the
people
of
Pompeii
felt
safe.But
they
were
not.
In
August
of
AD
79,
Mount
Vesuvius
erupted.The
entire
top
of
the
mountain
exploded,
and
a
huge
black
cloud
rose
into
the
air.Soon
stones
and
hot
volcanic
ash
began
to
fall
on
Pompeii.When
the
eruption
ended
two
days
later,
Pompeii
was
buried
under
20
feet
of
stones
and
ashes.Almost
all
of
its
people
were
dead.
For
centuries,
Pompeii
lay
buried
under
stones
and
ashes.Then,
in
the
year
1861,
an
Italian
scientist
named
Ginseppe
began
to
uncover
Pompeii.Slowly
and
carefully,
Ginseppe
and
his
men
dug.The
city
looked
almost
the
same
as
it
had
looked
in
AD
79.There
were
streets
and
fountains,
houses
and
shops.There
was
a
stadium
with
20,000
seats.Perhaps
the
most
important
of
all
is
that
there
were
everyday
objects,
which
tell
us
a
great
deal
about
the
people
who
lived
in
Pompeii.Many
glasses
and
jars
had
some
dark
blue
colour
in
the
bottom,
so
we
know
that
the
people
of
Pompeii
liked
wine.They
liked
bread,
too;
metal
bread
pans
were
in
every
bakery,
and
in
one
bakery
there
were
81
round,
flat
loaves
of
bread—a
type
of
bread
that
is
still
sold
in
Italy
today.
Tiny
boxes
filled
with
a
dark,
shiny
powder
tell
us
that
women
like
to
wear
eye?makeup.
Ginseppe
has
died,
but
his
work
continues.One?fourth
has
not
been
uncovered
yet.Scientists
are
still
digging,
still
making
discoveries
that
draw
tourists
to
Pompeii.
文章大意:本文记叙了位于意大利维苏威火山山脚的古镇庞培在公元79年被火山灰掩埋以及1861年被发掘后,古镇人文景观重现于世的故事。
1.Why
do
large
numbers
of
people
come
to
Pompeii
each
year?__B__
A.To
visit
the
volcano.
B.To
see
how
Pompeians
lived.
C.To
watch
sports
and
plays.
D.To
shop
and
eat
there.
解析:细节理解题。根据文章的第一段中的“They
see
the
sights
that
Pompeii
is
famous
for,such
as
its
stadium,theatres,shops
and
restaurants.”内容可知,游客来到庞培古城是为了看过去的庞培人是如何生活的,因为庞培城被火山灰掩埋而保持了原有的一切风貌。故选B。
2.Why
had
so
many
Pompeians
remained
by
Mount
Vesuvius?__C__
A.The
city
nearby
offered
all
kinds
of
fun.
B.The
area
produced
the
finest
wine
in
Italy.
C.Few
people
expected
the
volcano
to
erupt
again.
D.The
mountain
was
beautiful
and
covered
with
grass.
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后三句“It
lay
at
the
foot
of
Mount
Vesuvius,a
grass?covered
volcano.Mount
Vesuvius
had
not
erupted
for
centuries,so
the
people
of
Pompeii
felt
safe.But
they
were
not.”可知,这座火山很长时间处于休眠状态,人们没料到它还会喷发。故选C。
3.Why
did
the
city
uncovered
look
almost
the
same
as
it
had
looked
in
AD
79?__C__
A.Because
Ginseppe
and
his
men
dug
it
slowly
and
carefully
B.Because
scientists
successfully
rebuilt
the
city
with
everyday
objects.
C.Because
the
city
was
buried
alive
and
remained
untouched.
D.Because
nobody
had
lived
in
the
city
ever
since
the
volcano
erupted.
解析:推理判断题。由第二段的内容以及第三段的最后两句“When
the
eruption
ended
two
days
later,Pompeii
was
buried
under
20
feet
of
stones
and
ashes.Almost
all
of
its
people
were
dead.”可知,由于火山突然喷发,人们在毫无准备的情况下就被埋葬了,几个世纪以来都没有被破坏,所以保留了当时全部的情景。故选C。
4.What
do
we
know
about
the
Pompeians
who
lived
2,000
years
ago?__B__
A.They
liked
women
wearing
all
kinds
of
make?up.
B.They
lived
more
or
less
the
same
as
Italians
now
do.
C.They
enjoyed
a
lazy
life
with
drinking
and
eating.
D.They
went
back
to
Pompeii
after
the
eruption
in
AD
79.
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第四段的内容可知,古代的庞培人的生活习惯和现代人差不多一样。故选B。
B
Earthquakes
are
something
that
people
fear.There
are
some
places
that
have
few
or
no
earthquakes.Most
places
in
the
world,
however,
have
them
regularly
(经常).Countries
that
have
a
lot
of
earthquakes
are
usually
quite
mountainous.
The
most
talked
about
earthquake
in
the
United
States
was
in
San
Francisco
in
1906.Over
700
people
died
in
it.The
strongest
one
in
North
America
was
in
1964.It
happened
in
Alaska.Strong
earthquakes
are
not
always
the
ones
that
kill
the
most
people.In
1923,
a
very
strong
earthquake
hit
Tokyo,
the
Yokohama
area
of
Japan.A
hundred
and
forty
thousand
people
died.Most
of
them
died
in
fires
which
followed
the
earthquake.One
of
the
worst
earthquakes
ever
was
in
China
in
1976.It
killed
a
large
number
of
people.The
worst
earthquake
ever
recorded
was
also
in
China,
in
which
about
80,000
people
were
killed
or
injured.This
earthquake
happened
in
2008.
Earthquakes
worry
people
a
lot.The
reason
is
that
we
often
do
not
know
when
they
are
coming.People
can
not
prepare
for
them.So
it
is
wise
to
learn
some
simple
safety
tips
to
protect
yourself
or
your
family
members.
Things,
like
those
made
of
glass
should
usually
be
placed
on
a
lower
surface,
near
the
ground
instead
of
placing
them
on
cupboards
higher
up.There
is
a
strong
chance
of
short
circuits
(短路)
and
fire
breakouts
during
an
earthquake.Make
sure
you
turn
off
electrical
connections
and
gas
immediately
when
an
earthquake
happens.During
an
earthquake,
lie
beneath
an
object
that
is
not
easily
damaged.Do
not
go
near
objects
that
could
directly
fall
on
you.Never
use
the
elevator
to
go
down.Stay
inside
until
the
shaking
stops
and
it
is
safe
to
go
outside.Research
has
shown
that
most
injuries
happen
when
people
inside
buildings
try
to
go
out.
文章大意:本文介绍了地震的基本情况及一些事例,并为大家介绍了一些地震发生时的安全常识。
5.Earthquakes
happen
__C__.
A.in
all
the
places
in
the
world
B.only
in
the
countries
that
have
a
lot
of
mountains
C.regularly
in
most
places
in
the
world
D.only
in
a
few
places
along
the
mountains
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“Most
places
in
the
world,
however,
have
them
regularly
(经常).”可知,世界上大部分地方经常发生地震。根据第一段最后一句“Countries
that
have
a
lot
of
earthquakes
are
usually
quite
mountainous.”可知,地震多发的国家通常是多山国家,但不仅仅是多山国家才有地震。故选C项。
6.When
and
where
was
the
worst
earthquake
ever
recorded?
__B__
A.1964;America.
B.2008;China.
C.1923;Japan.
D.1976;China.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“The
worst
earthquake
ever
recorded
was
also
in
China,in
which
about
80,000
people
were
killed
or
injured.This
earthquake
happened
in
2008.”可知,有记载的最严重的地震发生在中国,有八万人死亡或受伤。这场地震发生于2008年。故选B项。
7.To
reduce
the
injury
from
the
earthquake,
items
made
of
glass
should
be
put
__C__.
A.on
cupboards
B.in
the
bedroom
C.on
a
lower
surface
D.where
children
can't
reach
them
解析:细节理解题。由第四段第一句可知,玻璃制品应放在较低的、接近地面的地方,而不要放在橱柜等高处的地方。故选C项。
8.During
the
earthquake,
people
are
advised
to
__B__.
A.go
out
of
the
building
at
once
B.turn
off
power
and
gas
immediately
C.take
shelter
under
a
tree
D.drive
to
a
safe
place
解析:细节理解题。由第四段第三句可知B项正确。由本段倒数第二句可知,在震荡停止之前待在室内,安全之后再出去,A、D项错误。由本段第四、五句可知,在地震中,要躺在不易毁坏的东西下面,不要靠近会直接砸在自己身上的物品,C项错误,树木易折断。

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。讲述了张家界的一些景色秀美、风光独特的风景名胜区。
解析:
1.考查介词。张家界包括永定区、慈利县和桑植县。of在此用于表示性质、组成或涵盖,意为“即,由……组成”。
2.考查动词时态和语态。关系代词which指代先行词Wulingyuan
Scenic
Area,并在定语从句中充当主语,故谓语动词应使用第三人称单数形式;由定语从句的时间状语in
1992可知,定语从句应使用一般过去时;关系代词which指代的先行词Wulingyuan
Scenic
Area与name之间为动宾关系,故应用被动语态。所以填was
named。
3.考查名词。由前面的形容词creative和后面的of可知,此处应用combine的名词形式。
4.考查非谓语动词。根据固定短语be
made
up
of“由……组成”可知,此处要用过去分词作后置定语,修饰The
Wulingyuan
Scenic
and
Historic
Interest
Area。
5.考查冠词。destination为可数名词,且在此表示泛指,故填a。
6.考查代词。由后面的“underground
cataract(急流)”可知,此处应用形容词性物主代词修饰名词。
7.考查非谓语动词。feature与其逻辑主语之间为主动关系,故此处用现在分词短语作状语,表示“以……为特色”。
8.考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处指代先行词12
state?level
tourist
areas,且在定语从句中作介词of的宾语,故填which。
9.考查副词。此处应用副词修饰形容词popular,
increasingly表示“越来越多地,日益增加地”。
10.考查时态。由于张家界长久以来不断地改善它的交通和服务,这个城市现在每天可以接待36
200名游客。根据时间状语for
long可知,此处应用现在完成进行时表示过去开始的动作持续到现在并将继续下去。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
In
the
second
half
of
each
year,
many
powerful
storms
are
born
in
the
tropical
Atlantic
and
Caribbean
seas.Of
these,
only
about
half
a
dozen
generate
the
strong,
circling
winds
of
75
miles
per
hour
or
more
that
give
them
hurricane
status,
and
several
usually
make
their
way
to
the
coast.There
they
cause
millions
of
dollars
of
damage,
and
bring
death
to
large
numbers
of
people.
The
great
storms
that
hit
the
coast
start
as
innocent
circling
disturbances
(气旋)
hundreds—even
thousands—of
miles
out
to
sea.As
they
travel
aimlessly
over
water
warmed
by
the
summer
sun,
they
are
carried
westward
by
the
trade
winds.When
conditions
are
just
right,
warm,
moist
(潮湿的)
air
flows
in
at
the
bottom
of
such
a
disturbance,
moves
upward
through
it
and
comes
out
at
the
top.In
the
process,
the
moisture
in
this
warm
air
produces
rain,and
with
it
the
heat
is
switched
to
energy
in
the
form
of
strong
winds.As
the
heat
increases,
the
young
hurricane
begins
to
turn
around
in
a
counter?clockwise
motion
(逆时针方向).
The
average
life
of
a
hurricane
is
only
about
nine
days,
but
it
contains
almost
more
power
than
we
can
imagine.The
energy
in
the
heat
released
(释放)
by
a
hurricane's
rainfall
in
a
single
day
would
satisfy
the
entire
electrical
needs
of
the
United
States
for
more
than
six
months.
Water,
rather
than
wind,
is
the
main
source
of
death
and
destroying
in
a
hurricane.A
typical
hurricane
brings
6?to?12?inch
downpours
resulting
in
sudden
floods.Worst
of
all
is
the
powerful
movement
of
the
sea—the
mountains
of
water
moving
towards
the
low?pressure
hurricane
center.The
water
level
rises
as
much
as
15
feet
above
normal
as
it
moves
towards
shore.
文章大意:文章讲述了飓风的形成过程——是达到每小时75英里以上的热带风暴形成的,和飓风给大自然和人类带来的巨大危害。
1.An
ordinary
tropical
storm
is
called
a
hurricane
when
__B__.
A.it
occurs
in
the
Caribbean
seas
B.its
winds
reach
75
miles
per
hour
C.it
makes
its
way
to
the
coastline
D.its
winds
begin
to
circle
on
the
sea
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知其中只有约一半会形成至少每小时75英里的强热带气旋,这样就会形成飓风,有些还会登陆海岸。
2.The
counter?clockwise
movement
of
the
hurricane
is
caused
by
__C__.
A.the
low?pressure
area
in
the
center
of
the
storm
B.the
force
of
waves
of
water
C.the
increasing
heat
D.the
trade
winds
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段“As
the
heat
increases,the
young
hurricane
begins
to
turn
around
in
a
counter?clockwise
motion
(逆时针方向).”可知,当热度上升,刚产生的飓风就开始以逆时针方向盘旋。
3.What
does
the
third
paragraph
mainly
talk
about?__A__
A.The
hurricane
is
extraordinarily
powerful.
B.The
hurricane
is
used
to
generate
electricity.
C.The
hurricane
can
otherwise
offer
an
unusual
sight.
D.The
hurricane
can
give
people
an
unforgettable
experience.
解析:段落大意题。第三段内容:一般一场飓风的持续时间大约是9天,但是它所携带的能量是我们无法想象的。飓风的降雨所释放的能量在一天里就可以满足整个美国6个多月的电力需要。
4.What
is
the
worst
thing
about
a
hurricane?__A__
A.The
rough
water.
B.The
violent
winds.
C.The
heat
it
gives
out.
D.The
length
of
its
life.
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段“Water,rather
than
wind,is
the
main
source
of
death
and
destroying
in
a
hurricane.”可知,水是飓风造成死亡和破坏的主要因素,而不是风。
B
Time
flies,
but
the
tracks
of
time
remain
in
books
and
museums.This
is
what
made
a
recent
tragedy
in
Brazil
even
more
terrible.
On
Sept
2,
a
big
fire
broke
out
in
the
National
Museum
of
Brazil,
the
oldest
scientific
institution
in
the
country,
in
Rio
de
Janeiro.Two
hundred
years
of
work,
research
and
knowledge
were
lost,
Brazilian
President
Michel
Temer
wrote
on
Twitter
after
the
fire.It's
a
sad
day
for
all
Brazilians.
Most
of
the
20
million
pieces
of
history
are
believed
to
have
been
destroyed.Only
as
little
as
10
percent
of
the
collection
may
have
survived,
Time
reported.Among
all
the
items,
there
were
Egyptian
mummies,
the
bones
of
uniquely
Brazilian
creatures
such
as
the
long—necked
dinosaur
Maxakalisaurus,
and
an
11,500?year?old
skull
called
Luzia,
which
was
considered
one
of
South
America's
oldest
human
fossils.
Besides
these,
Brazil's
local
knowledge
also
suffered.The
museum
housed
world
famous
collections
of
local
objects,
as
well
as
many
audio
recordings
of
local
languages
from
all
over
Brazil.Some
of
these
recordings,
now
lost,
were
of
languages
that
are
no
longer
spoken.
“The
tragedy
this
Sunday
is
a
sort
of
national
suicide
(自杀),
a
crime
against
our
past
and
future
generations.”Bernard
Mello
Franco,
one
of
Brazil's
best?known
reporters
wrote
on
the
newspaper
site.
The
cause
of
the
fire
is
still
unknown,
as
BBC
News
reported
on
Sept
3.After
the
fire
burned
out,
crowds
protested
(抗议)
outside
the
museum
to
show
their
anger
at
the
loss
of
the
irreplaceable
items
of
historical
value.
According
to
Emilio
Bruna,
an
ecologist
at
the
University
of
Florida,
museums
are
living,
breathing
places
of
who
we
are
and
where
we've
come
from,
and
the
world
around
us.Those
insects
pinned
in
a
drawer,
or
those
fish
in
a
jar,
or
a
feathered
cape
(斗篷)
you
might
see
in
a
display
case——
that
represents
a
little
piece
of
who
we
are
as
a
people,
as
humans,
as
part
of
a
greater
world,
he
told
National
Geographic.
Just
as
underwater
grass
floats
on
the
surface
if
it
loses
its
roots,
a
nation
is
lost
without
its
memories.
文章大意:巴西博物馆在一场大火中几乎化为灰烬,很多历史文物都被烧毁了,包括一些巴西本土的文物,相关的历史知识也就此失去。很多人对此表示了惋惜之情。
5.What
do
we
know
from
Brazilian
President's
words
on
Twitter?__D__
A.He
felt
responsible
for
the
fire
of
National
Museum.
B.The
museum
is
the
oldest
national
scientific
institution.
C.All
Brazilians
felt
sorry
for
the
fire
that
day.
D.The
fire
caused
serious
historical
loss
to
Brazil.
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Two
hundred
years
of
work,
research
and
knowledge
were
lost,
Brazilian
President
Michel
Temer
wrote
on
Twitter
after
the
fire.It's
a
sad
day
for
all
Brazilians.”
以及第三段中的“Most
of
the
20
million
pieces
of
history
are
believed
to
have
been
destroyed.”可知,对所有巴西人来说,这是一个可悲的日子,承载着2000万年历史的文物大部分都被烧毁,只剩下10%的藏品幸免于难。火灾给巴西造成了严重的历史损失。故选D。
6.Which
of
the
following
might
have
survived
in
the
big
fire?__C__
A.Egyptian
mummies.
B.The
long—necked
dinosaur
Maxakalisaurus.
C.Some
audio
recordings
of
local
languages.
D.An
11,500?year?old
skull
called
Luzia.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段可知,承载着2000万年历史的文物大部分都被烧毁,只剩下10%的藏品幸免于难。在烧毁的这些藏品中,有埃及木乃伊、巴西特有的长颈恐龙马萨卡利神龙的骸骨以及11.5万年前的人类头骨化石“露西亚”。但没有说哪种藏品幸免于难。根据第四段内容可知,博物馆中藏有闻名全球的巴西当地文物以及巴西各地语言的大量音频档案。如今被烧毁的一些音频中还录有已经失传的语言。由此可推断,虽然来自巴西各地的许多当地语言录音中的一些已经丢失一部分,但仍旧有一些本地语言的录音幸存下来。故选C。
7.After
the
fire,__D__.
A.all
the
records
of
local
knowledge
were
destroyed
B.the
rate
of
suicide
and
crime
was
rising
sharply
C.people
protested
against
the
abuse
of
power
of
the
government
D.people
of
different
walks
of
life
showed
their
pity
for
the
fire
解析:推理判断题。根据第六段中的“After
the
fire
burned
out,
crowds
protested
outside
the
museum
to
show
their
anger
at
the
loss
of
the
irreplaceable
items
of
historical
value.”可知,火灾过后,人群聚集在博物馆外抗议,表达他们对于失去这些无可替代的珍贵历史文物的愤怒。由此可判断出,各行各业的人们对火灾的惋惜。故选D。
8.In
which
section
of
a
newspaper
can
we
read
this
article?__B__
A.Advertisement.
B.News
report.
C.Campus
life.
D.Geography.
解析:文章出处题。本文是关于巴西博物馆发生大火的一篇新闻报道,因此应该出现在新闻报道部分。故选B。

文章大意:打羽毛球是一项绝佳的运动,除了减肥之外,它还可以帮你塑造身材、提高心脏的健康水平,并且在打球的过程中你还能拓展自己的社交圈。
解析:
1.空格前后两句讲的是打羽毛球的好处,并且主语都为playing
badminton,故C项符合语境。C项中的it指代playing
badminton,语意为:对不同年龄的人来说,它也是一项简单、轻松的运动。
2.该段讲的是打羽毛球给四肢和身体协调带来的好处,故A项符合语境,讲的也是打羽毛球给身体带来的好处:你甚至会变得更强壮、更具吸引力。
3.上句提到打羽毛球可以降低血压、减少得心脏病的几率,下句说你的身体能够更好地抵御致命的心脏病的发作,故B项符合语境:打羽毛球可以让你的心脏更强健。
4.上句说体育馆经常举办联赛、锦标赛和聚会,故F项紧承上文,说明了这些联赛、锦标赛和聚会的作用:它们能为你与志趣相投的朋友和其他人提供见面的机会。
5.由下句可知,大量的多余脂肪都可以通过打羽毛球时所做的肢体运动被燃烧掉,故此处讲的应该是打羽毛球可以帮助人们减肥这一好处,因此G项符合文意:当然,打羽毛球最受欢迎的好处之一是它可以帮人们快速减肥。

文章大意:这篇短文讲的是一对通过电台节目选拔出来的陌生人结为夫妻的故事。
解析:
1.考查形容词。根据空前面的nervous可知,此处表示不舒服的。所以填uncomfortable。
2.考查动词的时态。根据上下文可知,此处表示过去的事情,所以用一般过去时。
3.考查非谓语动词。此处指正等在那儿的摄影师。waiting是现在分词作定语。
4.考查定语从句。where引导定语从句,修饰room。定语从句中缺少地点状语,所以填where。
5.考查名词。此处表示“广播电视台的比赛”,空处需要填名词。
6.考查非谓语动词。be
prepared
to
do
sth.准备做某事。
7.考查冠词。此处指一位模特。不定冠词a,表示数量“一”。
8.考查非谓语动词。organized
by
BMRB
radio
in
Birmingham,England是过去分词短语作定语修饰a
special“experiment”。organize和被修饰词之间是被动关系,且organize这一动作已发生。
9.考查名词复数。此处指裁判包括一名占星家,由此可知不止一名裁判,所以用复数。
10.考查连词。空前后是转折关系。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Seeing
a
volcano
erupt
is
a
wonderful
experience,
and
you
can
really
feel
the
heat
by
climbing
to
the
summit
of
Pacaya
for
a
close?up
view.There
are
guided
tours
every
day
up
this
highly
active
volcano
from
Antigua,
giving
travellers
a
chance
to
see
Mother
Nature
at
her
most
powerful.
Pacaya
is
an
easy
drive
from
Antigua,
a
beautiful
city
with
many
colourful
houses
along
its
old
streets
that
are
turned
into
artworks
during
its
Holy
Week
festival.No
matter
when
you
come
to
Antigua,
you
won't
miss
the
Pacaya?tour
companies.
But
climbing
Pacaya
is
no
easy
job:
it
is
2,552
metres
high
and
reaching
the
summit
takes
two
to
three
hours
of
seemingly
one?step?forward
and
two?step?back
movements.As
you
climb,
you
hear
the
sounds
of
eruptions
high
above.Smoke,
hot
remains
from
recent
eruptions
begin
to
line
the
path
as
you
near
the
active
summit:
the
McKenney
Cone
(火山锥).Just
as
though
you
are
going
to
walk
over
to
the
edge
of
the
cone,
the
road
turns
to
the
left
and
up
to
the
safety
of
the
old,
inactive
summit.
Many
tours
are
timed
so
that
you
arrive
at
the
cone
of
the
volcano
in
plenty
of
time
for
sunset
and
the
full
scene
of
the
erupting
red
lava
in
the
darkening
sky.On
a
good
day
the
view
from
the
summit
is
really
exciting.The
active
mouth
boils,
sending
red
lava
over
its
sides,
and
once
in
a
while
shoots
hot
streams
up
to
100
metres
into
the
air.There
is
a
strong
bad
smell
in
the
air
even
if
you
take
care
to
be
upwind
of
the
cone.As
evening
turns
deeper
into
the
night,
the
burning
lava
quietly
falls
down
the
sides
of
the
volcano.For
you,
too,
it
is
time
to
get
down.
文章大意:这篇文章主要介绍了看火山喷发是极好的经历。很多游客到Pacaya山顶去观看活火山,在此游客有机会看到大自然的强大。
1.Many

to__C__.
A.get
down
the
mountain
in
time
when
night
falls
B.avoid
the
smell
from
the

the
cone
C.enjoy
the
fantastic
eruption
against
the
darkening
sky
D.appreciate
the
beauty
of
the
2,552?metre?high
mountain
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Many

of
the
volcano
in
plenty
of
time
for
sunset
and

full
scene
of
the
erupting
red
lava
in
the
darkening
sky.”可知,很多游览是在规定好的时间内进行的,这样你到达火山锥时会有足够的时间看日落以及红色熔岩在黑色天空下喷发的全景。可知选C。
2.The
word
“summit”
appears
several
times
in
the
passage.It
means__D__.
A.remained,
cooled
rocks
along
the
path
B.loud
sound

in
the
air
C.the
most
exciting
happening

it
is
2,552
metres
high
and
reaching
the
summit
takes
two

552米高,到达顶部要花2至3个小时,似乎走一步,退两步。故选D。
3.What
is
the
main
purpose
of
this
passage?__A__.
A.To
have
more
tourists
come
to
Pacaya.
B.To

D.To

Global
warming
catches
and
holds
our
concern.Each
and
every
one
of
us
is
responsible
for
the
greenhouse
gases
we
emit
in
our
daily
actions
and
choices.Therefore,
combating
climate
change
is
going
to
take
the
combined
efforts
of
everyone
on
the
planet.Let
me
give
you
some
suggestions
about
how
you
can
work
to
reduce
the
carbon
emission.
First,
you
can
take
showers
rather
than
baths
and
reduce
your
shower
time.It's
also
essential
to
switch
off
all
electric
appliances
when
you're
not
using
them,
such
as
lights.What's
more,
you
should
only
buy
the
amount
of
food
you
need
and
if
there
is
leftover
food,
get
creative.For
instance,
make
them
into
a
soup.Remember
to
take
your
own
lunch
box
to
avoid
using
a
disposable
container.Last
but
not
least,
carry
your
own
reusable
shopping
bags
when
shopping.
Let's
adjust
ourselves
and
live
a
“low?carbon”
life.

No
Time
With
a
broad
smile
on
her
lips,
15?year?old
Sirin
rushed
to
her
mom
to
show
off
her
new
painting.But
mom
raised
her
eyebrows
with
eyes
wide
open,
and
spoke
in
an
impatient
tone,
“No
time,
baby.Right
now
I
am
busy
with
an
important
talk.Just
wait
for
some
time,OK?”
Holding
her
oil
painting,
she
frowned
(皱眉),
and
then
searched
for
her
dad.
“Dad,
see
what
I
have
done,”
Sirin
announced
aloud
in
a
thrilling
voice.Her
dad
turned
around
while
adjusting
his
tie,
grinned
at
her,
and
showed
his
thumbs
up!
Immediately,
blowing
her
two
cheeks,
Sirin
replied
angrily,
“Dad,
you
haven't
seen
it
yet.”
He
smiled
at
her
saying,
“No
time,
baby.I
will
see
it
later.”
He
just
patted
her
back
lovingly,
kissed
her
forehead,
and
rushed
for
his
office.
She
was
not
a
kid
to
be
pleased
with
simple
gesture
or
smile.She
stood
there
for
a
few
seconds,and
then
stormed
off
to
her
own
bedroom.Hot
air
was
blowing
from
her
nostrils
(鼻孔);
her
face
turned
into
apple
red.She
threw
the
painting
on
the
table,
slammed
(把……砰地关上)
the
door
and
threw
herself
on
her
bed.
“Why
is
everybody
so
busy?”
She
recalled
thousands
of
incidents
that
hurt
her
in
pre?school,
middle
school
and
even
in
high
school
too!
She
assumed
at
least
her
own
family
members
would
give
some
values
to
her
thoughts,
but
they
were
no
exception.Unconsciously,
her
eyes
were
filled
with
tears.
The
knocking
sound
on
the
door
put
a
sudden
brake
to
her
thought.Her
mom
was
calling
her
for
dinner.Sirin
deliberately
came
late
to
join
them.She
kept
silent
and
didn't
look
at
anyone,
scratching
the
table
mat
with
her
nail.Her
mom
was
puzzled
at
the
unusual
behavior.Suddenly,
the
morning
incident
clicked
in
her
mind.Softly,
she
asked,
“Honey,
did
I
do
anything
wrong?”
Paragraph
1:
At
this
very
moment,
Sirin
could
no
longer
resist
her
anger.

Paragraph
1:
At
this
very
moment,
Sirin
could
no
longer
resist
her
anger.“Why
is
everybody
so
busy?”
she
roared,
tears
streaming
down.She
assumed
that
her
mom
and
dad
would
feel
proud
of
her
great
talent,
would
appreciate
her
painting
but
she
was
disgusted
with
everybody
having
“no
time”
for
her.“I
hate
you!”
She
screamed,
grabbed
the
painting
on
the
table
and
tore
it
in
half.Shocked,
mom
threw
her
arms
around
her
tightly,
announcing
regretfully
and
firmly,
“Baby,
I
am
so
sorry!
I
promise
this
mistake
will
not
be
repeated.”
Paragraph
2:
When
back
from
school
the
next
day,
Sirin
was
surprised
to
see
her
beautifully?decorated
painting
on
the
wall.It
was
beautifully
framed
and
just
below
the
painting,
it
was
written
“We
are
so
proud
of
you,
our
little
angle!”
On
seeing
it,
she
burst
out
crying.She
ran
to
her
mom
and
hugged
her
tightly
as
well,
fully
aware
of
her
mom's
love.Recalling
her
mom's
stress
from
work
and
daily
life,
she
was
regretting
her
previous
behavior.She
ducked
her
head,
apologizing,
“Sorry,
mom!”
It
dawned
on
them
that
though
everything
came
and
went,
mutual
understanding
would
stay
forever
in
their
family.

W:How's
your
school
project
going,
Tim?
I
haven't
finished
it
yet.I
am
so
upset.
M:The
one
about
the
sky
in
the
evening?
OK,
I
guess.I
took
some
good
photos
of
the
moon
last
week,
but
then
yesterday
it
was
really
cloudy.So
I
couldn't
see
anything—not
even
any
stars.
W:
That
was
a
pity.
M:Yeah,

of
computer
games
until
I
was
about
ten.But
I
haven't
played
any
for
a
long
time.
M:What
do
you
do
now?
W:I
prefer
doing
exciting
things
outside.Activities
like
climbing
and
snowboarding.You
know
something
that
girls
may
think
dangerous.
M:
Is
there
anything
you
haven't
tried,
but
would
like
to?
W:I'd
love
to
go
sailing.But
my
dad
says
we
can't
afford
it.It
needs
a
lot
of
money.

Hi,
Hannah.How
are
you?
W:
Fine
thanks,
John.And
you?
M:
I'm
excited.We're
going
to
holiday
to
the
Greek
island
on
Friday
this
week.
W:
Really?
It's
surprising
you'll
go
so
soon.I
remember
on
Monday
you
told
me
you
would
go
there
next
Thursday.How
are
you
getting
there?
M:
We're
flying
to
Athens.Then
we'll
catch
a
train
to
Piraeus
and
get
on
a
boat
to
Greek
island.Have
you
ever
been
to
Greece?
W:We
went
there
last
summer.It
was
wonderful.
You've
chosen
a
good
tourist
attraction.It
is
worth
visiting.
M:That's
great.Obviously
you
had
a
great
time
there.What
do
you
think
I
should
take
with
me?
W:Have
you
bought
a
guidebook?
You
can
borrow
mine
if
you
want.We
won't
need
it
this
year.
M:Thanks.That
means
I
won't
have
to
buy
one.
Would
you
like
me
to
bring
something
back
from
Greece
for
you?
W:
No,
thanks.Just
send
me
a
postcard.

M:
Hello,
can
I
speak
to
Anna
Jones,
please?
W:I'm
afraid
she's
out
to
visit
her
grandma
but
you
can
leave
a
message
with
me—This
is
her
mother.
M:Thanks.This
is
Bob
Watson
from
the
shoe
shop
Foresters.
W:How
do
you
spell
that?
M:
It's
F?O?R?E?S?T?E?R?S.
W:
OK,
I've
got
that.
M:Can
you
tell
her
that
we
now
have
the
shoes
she
wanted
in
size
thirty?eight?
We
only
had
size
forty
when
she
came
into
the
shop
last
week.
And
she'll
be
pleased
to
know
that
they're
also
in
the
colour
she
like—green.Before
we
only
had
black
and
blue
ones.
W:
That'
s
good
news.
M:Yes,
and
there
is
even
more
good
news.We're
having
a
sale,
so
they're
forty
pounds
cheaper.
Now
they're
sixty?five
pounds,
which
is
a
good
price.
W:Well,she'll
be
really
pleased.Can
she
go
and
get
them
tomorrow
at
around
five
o'clock?
M:She'll
have
to
come
before
two
o'clock,
I'm
afraid,
because
that's
when
we
shut
tomorrow.
W:OK,I'll
tell
her.

W:I'm
Lee
Minwoo
from
South
Korea.When
I
was
little
I
was
very
interested
in
English.I
learned
English
at
school.There
was
a
good
teacher
who
was
not
a
native
English
speaker.He
taught
French,
but
he
really
spoke
English
quite
well.
It
was
funny
because
I
was
the
only
student
in
his
class—it
was
really
a
private
lesson.I
had
an
excellent
course
book.I
still
keep
a
copy
of
it.
The
front
cover
was
red
and
it
was
very
modern.Learning
English
was
quite
easy.I
was
surprised.The
teacher
was
so
good
that
he
helped
a
lot.Also,I'm
quite
good
at
learning
languages.It
was
really
enjoyable,
too.I
loved
the
sound
of
the
words.I
felt
really
proud
when
my
spelling
improved
day
by
day
and
I
could
read
a
short
story.In
middle
school,
English
was
still
my
favorite
subject.I
even
stayed
in
America
for
one
year
as
an
exchange
student.I
learned
a
lot
there,
not
only
English
but
different
cultures.

B
A
sandstorm,
also
known
as
a
dust
storm,
is
exactly
what
it
sounds
like.A
very
strong
windstorm
especially
in
the
desert
carries
clouds
of
sand
or
dust,
and
greatly
reduces
visibility
(可见度).This
wind
is
usually
caused
by
convection
currents
(对流),
which
are
created
by
intense
heating
of
the
ground,
and
is
usually
strong
enough
to
move
entire
sand
dunes.Air
is
unstable
when
heated,
and
this
instability
(不稳定性)
in
the
air
will
cause
the
mixture
of
higher
winds
with
winds
in
the
lower
atmosphere,
producing
strong
surface
winds.
Sandstorms
can
disturb
travels,
and
sometimes
destroy
whole
roads,
and
dry
flat
areas,
such
as
parts
of
the
western
United
States.Similar
dust
storms
can
be
found
on
the
planet
Mars,
and
are
thought
to
be
seasonal.Today,
the
destruction
of
forests
and
too
much
farming
of
farmland
can
cause
a
sandstorm
problem.Over?grazing
and
too
much
use
of
water
resources
can
also
cause
sandstorms.
In
the
United
States
of
America,
sandstorms
are
rare
because
of
the
lack
of
large
deserts
and
more
importantly
the
development
of
proper
agricultural
techniques.The
last
recorded
destructive
sandstorm
in
American
history
was
the
Dust
Bowl,
one
that
occurred
on
July
16,1971
and
was
widely
recorded
by
meteorologists
(气象学家).
To
protect
themselves
from
sandstorms,
some
people
wear
protective
suits.Special
equipment
can
be
fixed
in
some
cars
to
prevent
sand
from
getting
into
the
engine.Sandstorms
can
cause
coughs,
and
the
sand
and
dust
have
also
been
known
to
be
able
to
carry
“infectious
diseases”.Sand
particles,
unlike
dust
ones,
will
block
air
passages,
and
cause
the
person
who
breathes
them
in
to
choke.Dust
particles
may
cause
an
allergic
(过敏的)
reaction.
文章大意:本文主要介绍了沙尘暴的产生、起因以及对人类健康的危害。
24.Which
of
the
following
plays
the
biggest
part
in
forming
sandstorms?__D__
A.The
instability
of
the
sand.
B.The
instability
of
the
wind.
C.The
speed
of
the
wind.
D.The
intense
heating
of
the
ground.
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段第三句中的“This
wind
is
usually
caused
by
convection
currents
(对流),which
are
created
by
intense
heating
of
the
ground”可推知,因为地面的酷热导致了空气流动,从而产生风,风再吹动沙丘导致了沙尘暴的产生。故D项阐释了这一原因。
25.From
the
second
paragraph,
we
can
learn
that
at
present
__B__.
A.sandstorms
are
more
often
seen
on
the
Mars
B.human
activities
are
the
main
cause
of
sandstorms
C.farming
brings
more
harm
than
good
to
humans
D.sandstorms
have
led
to
the
lack
of
clear
water
resources
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中提到的森林砍伐、过度农耕、过度放牧和对水资源的过度使用可知,这些都是人类的行为,也是现今导致沙尘暴的主要原因。故选B。
26.Why
are
sandstorms
not
common
in
the
USA?__C__
A.There
are
fewer
deserts.
B.There
is
less
agriculture.
C.The
improvement
of
agricultural
techniques.
D.The
meteorologists'
research
on
the
sandstorms.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段首句中的“sandstorms
are
rare
because
of
the
lack
of
large
deserts
and
more
importantly
the
development
of
proper
agricultural
techniques”可知,在美国沙尘暴很罕见的原因,一是面积较大的沙漠少(不是沙漠少),更重要的是正确的农业技术的发展。故选C。
27.The
last
paragraph
mainly
talks
about
__B__.
A.how
to
protect
oneself
against
sandstorms
B.the
harm
that
sandstorms
can
do
to
people's
health
C.the
differences
between
sandstorms
and
dust
ones
D.how
to
lead
a
normal
life
when
a
sandstorm
happens
解析:段落大意题。根据最后一段的内容可知,本段重点讲的是沙尘暴对人类健康的危害。
C
(2020·全国卷Ⅱ)
When
you
were
trying
to
figure
out
what
to
buy
for
the
environmentalist
on
your
holiday
list,
fur
probably
didn't
cross
your
mind.
But
some
ecologists
and
fashion
(时装)enthusiasts
are
trying
to
bring
back
the
market
for
fur
made
from
nutria(海狸鼠).
Unusual
fashion
shows
in
New
Orleans
and
Brooklyn
have
showcased
nutria
fur
made
into
clothes
in
different
styles.
“It
sounds
crazy
to
talk
about
guilt?free
fur—unless
you
understand
that
the
nutria
are
destroying
vast
wetlands
every
year,”
says
Cree
McCree,
project
director
of
Righteous
Fur.
Scientists
in
Louisiana
were
so
concerned
that
they
decided
to
pay
hunters
$5
a
tail.
Some
of
the
fur
ends
up
in
the
fashion
shows
like
the
one
in
Brooklyn
last
month.
Nutria
were
brought
there
from
Argentina
by
fur
farmers
and
let
go
into
the
wild.
“The
ecosystem
down
there
can't
handle
this
non?native
species(物种).It's
destroying
the
environment.
It's
them
or
us,”
says
Michael
Massimi,
an
expert
in
this
field.
The
fur
trade
kept
nutria
in
check
for
decades,but
when
the
market
for
nutria
collapsed
in
the
late
1980s,the
cat?sized
animals
multiplied
like
crazy.
Biologist
Edmond
Mouton
runs
the
nutria
control
program
for
Louisiana.
He
says
it's
not
easy
to
convince
people
that
nutria
fur
is
green,
but
he
has
no
doubt
about
it.
Hunters
bring
in
more
than
300,000
nutria
tails
a
year,
so
part
of
Mouton's
job
these
days
is
trying
to
promote
fur.
Then
there's
Righteous
Fur
and
its
unusual
fashion.
Model
Paige
Morgan
says,“To
give
people
a
guilt?free
option
that
they
can
wear
without
someone
throwing
paint
on
them—I
think
that's
going
to
be
a
massive
thing,
at
least
here
in
New
York.”
Designer
Jennifer
Anderson
admits
it
took
her
a
while
to
come
around
to
the
opinion
that
using
nutria
fur
for
her
creations
is
morally
acceptable.
She's
trying
to
come
up
with
a
lable
to
attach
to
nutria
fashions
to
show
it
is
eco?friendly.
文章大意:本文是说明文。介绍了美国新奥尔良和布鲁克林举办了不同寻常的时装秀。展出海狸鼠制成的皮衣。海狸鼠们每年都在破坏大片的湿地,因此设计师称这是一种环保的举措,科学家们也对海狸鼠损坏生态平衡表示了担忧。
28.What
is
the
purpose
of
the
fashion
shows
in
New
Orleans
and
Brooklyn?__A__
A.To
promote
guilt?free
fur.
B.To
expand
the
fashion
market.
C.To
introduce
a
new
brand.
D.To
celebrate
a
winter
holiday.
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段Unusual
fashion
shows
in
New
Orleans
and
Brooklyn
have
showcased
nutria
fur
made
into
clothes
in
different
styles.
“It
sounds
crazy
to
talk

fur—unless
you
understand
that
the
nutria
are
destroying
vast
wetlands
every

Cree
McCree,
project
director
of
Righteous
Fur.得知,美国新奥尔良和布鲁克林举办了不同寻常的时装秀,时装秀上展出海狸鼠皮制成的不同风格的衣服,项目总监Cree
McCree说:“除非了解海狸鼠正每年破坏大片湿地,否则谈论无罪感皮衣是很疯狂的事情”,可以判断出由于海狸鼠对生态造成了巨大的破坏,这场海狸鼠皮衣时装秀销售的是无罪恶感皮衣。故选A。
29.Why
are
scientists
concerned
about
nutria?__A__
A.Nutria
damage
the
ecosystem
seriously.
B.Nutria
are
an
endangered
species.
C.Nutria
hurt
local
cat?sized
animals.
D.Nutria
are
illegally
hunted.
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“the
nutria
are
destroying
vast
wetlands
every
year”和第四段专家的话可以推断出科学家们担忧海狸鼠们严重破坏生态平衡。故选A。
30.What
does
the
underlined
word
“collapsed”
in
paragraph
5
probably
mean?__D__
A.Boomed.
B.Became
mature.
C.Remained
stable.
D.Crashed.
解析:词义猜测题。根据第五段The
fur
trade
kept
nutria
in
check
for
decades,
but
when
the
market
for
nutria
collapsed
in
the
late
1980s,the
cat?sized
animals
multiplied
like
crazy.
得知,毛皮贸易使海狸鼠受到了几十年的控制,但是当海狸鼠市场在20世纪80年代末崩溃时,这种猫大小的动物数量疯长,根据but判断,这是转折关系,以前由于皮毛交易,海狸鼠处于控制,现在这种海狸鼠之所以能够数量激增,是由于市场不再销售海狸鼠皮毛导致的,可以推断出划线词collapsed
是和D.crashed倒闭的意思最相近。故选D。
31.What
can
we
infer
about
wearing
fur
in
New
York
according
to
Morgan?__B__

解析:推理判断题。根据第二段Model
Paige
Morgan
says,
“To
give
people
a
guilt?free
option
that
they
can
wear
without
someone
throwing
paint
on
them—I
think
that's
going
to
be
a
massive
thing,
at
least
in
New
York.
”
得知,为了给人们一种无罪的选择,人们可以穿皮衣而不被人们泼油漆,我认为在纽约将是一件巨大的事情,根据模特摩根所说得知,在纽约穿皮草衣服是有风险的。故选B。
D
El
Nino,
a
Spanish
term
for
“the
Christ
child”,
was
named
by
South
American
fisherman
who
noticed
that
the
global
weather
pattern,
which
happens
every
two
to
seven
years,
reduced
the
amount
of
fishes
caught
around
Christmas.El
Nino
sees
warm
water,
collected
over
several
years
in
the
western
Pacific,
flow
back
eastwards
when
winds
that
normally
blow
westwards
weaken,
or
sometimes
the
other
way
round.
The
weather
effects,
both
good
and
bad,
are
felt
in
many
places.Rich
countries
gain
more
from
powerful
Nino,
on
balance,
than
they
lose.A
study
found
that
a
strong
Nino
in
1997?98
helped
American's
economy
grow
by
$15
billion,
partly
because
of
better
agricultural
harvest,
farmers
in
the
Midwest
gained
from
extra
rain.The
total
rise
in
agricultural
in
rich
countries
in
growth
than
the
fall
in
poor
ones.
But
in
Indonesia
extremely
dry
forests
are
in
flames.A
multi?year
drought(干旱)
in
south?east
Brazil
is
becoming
worse.Though
heavy
rains
brought
about
by
El
Nino
may
relieve
the
drought
in
California,
they
are
likely
to
cause
surface
flooding
and
other
disasters.
The
most
recent
powerful
Nino,
in
1997?98,
killed
around
21,000
people
and
caused
damage
worth
$36
billion
around
the
globe.But
such
Ninos
come
with
months
of
warning,
and
so
much
is
known
about
how
they
happen
that
governments
can
prepare.According
to
the
Overseas
Development
Institute
(ODI),
however,
just
12%
of
disaster?relief
funding
in
the
past
two
decades
has
gone
on
reducing
risks
in
advance,
rather
than
recovery
and
rebuilding
afterwards.This
is
despite
evidence
that
a
dollar
spent
on
risk?reduction
saves
at
least
two
on
reconstruction.
Simple
improvements
to
infrastructure
(基础设施)
can
reduce
the
spread
of
disease.Better
sewers
(下水道)
make
it
less
likely
that
heavy
rain
is
followed
by
an
outbreak
of
the
disease
of
bad
stomach.Stronger
bridges
mean
villages
are
less
likely
to
be
left
without
food
and
medicine
after
floods.According
to
a
paper
in
2011
by
Mr
Hsiang
and
co?authors,
civil
conflict
is
related
to
El
Nino's
harmful
effects—and
the
poorer
the
country,
the
stronger
the
link.Though
the
relationship
may
not
be
causal,
helping
divided
communities
to
prepare
for
disasters
would
at
least
reduce
the
risk
that
those
disasters
are
followed
by
killing
and
wounding
people.Since
the
poorest
are
least
likely
to
make
up
for
their
losses
from
disasters
linked
to
El
Nino,
reducing
their
losses
needs
to
be
the
priority.

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What
is
the
easiest
way
to
stay
warm
in
the
super
cold?
__36.A__.At
least
that
is
what
Santa
Claus
told
me.During
Christmas,
Dennis
and
I
went
to
Finland.We
brought
back
some
tips
for
keeping
warm
in
a
cold
temperature.
●Three
layers
(层)
work
wonders.
Start
with
the
base
layer,
which
sits
right
on
your
skin:
choose
something
that
can
absorb
sweat.__37.G__.A
sweater
is
a
good
choice.The
most
important
layer
is
the
outer
clothes,
which
should
be
waterproof
(防水的)
and
windproof.
●__38.C__.
You
lose
heat
from
every
millimeter
of
uncovered
skin,
which
was
the
biggest
lesson
I
learned
on
this
trip.My
whole
body
was
well
covered.But
I
missed
one
sport:
my
face.So
it
often
felt
like
the
wind
was
going
to
blow
my
nose
off.
●
Exercise,
don't
just
stand
still.
When
it's
cold,
exercising
may
be
the
last
thing
you
feel
like
doing,
but
be
smart.__39.E__,
and
you
will
feel
the
difference.When
we
first
got
to
Finland,
we
were
freezing.But
after
a
couple
of
minutes
jumping
around,
we
felt
less
cold.
●
If
you
have
a
heater
You
may
want
to
turn
it
all
the
way
up,
but
it's
best
to
keep
it
at
between
18
and
20
degrees.__40.D__,
but
not
create
a
huge
difference
between
inside
and
outside.
A.Grow
a
crazy
beard
B.The
key
is
what
your
layer
is
C.Cover
every
bit
of
your
skin
D.That
will
keep
you
comfortable
E.Take
a
walk,
faster
than
your
normal
speed
F.Don't
forget
to
keep
your
hands
and
feet
warm,
too
G.The
middle
layer
keeps
your
body
heat
from
getting
away
文章大意:在极其寒冷的天气状况下,如何才能做到让自己保暖呢?作者以自己到芬兰的经历告诉了大家几个保暖御寒的方法。
解析:
36.考查上下文理解和逻辑推理。根据后面的“At
least
that
is
what
Santa
Claus
told
me.”可知,“Grow
a
crazy
beard.”符合语境,作者开玩笑地说像圣诞老人一样就不会冷了。故选A。
37.考查上下文理解和逻辑推理。根据上下文可知,此处应是讲中间层的衣服是什么样的,后面的“A
sweater
is
a
good
choice.”是对此的举例解释。故选G。
38.考查上下文理解和逻辑推理。根据段落内容可知,每一毫米裸露的皮肤都会散发热量,这是作者在这次旅行中学到的最大教训,即使自己的脸也最好捂上。故选C。
39.考查上下文理解和逻辑推理。分析句式可知,此处应该是一个祈使句;本段讲述要通过身体运动来防寒。故选E。
40.考查上下文理解和逻辑推理。根据前面的“You
may
want
to
turn
it
all
the
way
up,
but
it's
best
to
keep
it
at
between
18
and
20
degrees.”可知,最好把加热器调到18-20度,这是人们感觉最舒服的温度。故选D。

文章大意:
本文为说明文。人们到城市寻找更好的工作和更多的文化活动,但喧闹的街道、拥挤的汽车和人群会让我们不开心,危害到人们的心理健康。许多研究表明,大自然能让我们平静下来,让我们感到快乐。大自然有助于人们从精神疲劳中恢复过来。
解析:
56.考查非谓语动词。喧闹的街道、拥挤的汽车和人群会使我们不高兴吗?
crowded为非谓语动词,作后置定语。
57.考查动词时态。世界卫生组织补充说,到2050年,这个数字将增加到66%。由后面的“by
2050”可知,要用一般将来时。因此填will
increase。
58.考查形容词的比较级。人们搬到城市通常是为了找到更好的工作。根据语境可知要用比较级,故填better。
59.考查反身代词。但他们是在冒险吗?put
oneself
at
risk
意为“把自己置于危险中”。分析句子结构可知,本句的主语是they,所以要填themselves。
60.考查非谓语动词。体验大自然有助于人们从精神疲劳中恢复过来。分析句子可知,本空在句中作主语,动词不能单独作主语,根据语境可知要用V.?ing形式作主语,所以填experiencing。
61.考查主谓一致。体验大自然有助于人们从日常工作中产生的精神疲劳里恢复过来。分析句子可知,本句是定语从句,其中抽象名词tiredness是先行词,因此谓语动词要用comes。
62.考查连词。心理健康专家说,一些研究表明,城市生活可能会损害我们的心理健康,但他们不能确切说明原因。分析两句话的句意可知,这两句是转折关系,表示转折关系要用but,故填but。
63.考查名词复数。城市环境的哪些具体方面使一些人产生了心理健康问题?根据前面的系动词are可知,此处填aspects。
64.考查定语从句。城市环境的哪些具体方面使一些人产生了心理健康问题?分析句子可知,本句是定语从句,先行词是the
urban
environment,在句中作主语,在定语从句中物作主语用which/that。
65.考查固定搭配。在户外看树、听鸟鸣、看天空、与大自然接触都与更高层次的心理健康有关。in
touch
with同……有联系。

第二节:书面表达(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
We
often
take
for
granted
the
very
things
that
most
deserve
our
gratitude.
Growing
up,
I
wanted
to
be
just
like
my
mom.Kind
and
caring,
she
always
seemed
to
make
people
comfortable
in
her
presence.For
years
she
was
a
volunteer
in
our
community.I
loved
going
to
the
local
nursing
home
to
help
with
her
until
I
hit
my
preteen
years.Suddenly,
I
was
too
caught
up
in
my
adolescent
world
to
worry
about
helping
others.
One
particular
summer
day
when
I
was
twelve,
Mom
came
into
my
room
and
told
me
to
get
up
and
meet
her
at
the
car.I
had
planned
to
spend
the
day
at
the
lake
with
friends.Why
did
she
have
to
ruin
everything?
Eventually,
I
made
my
way
outside.I
imagined
the
lake
water
cooling
my
skin.Annoyed,
I
climbed
into
the
car
and
slammed
the
door
shut.I
sat
in
silence,
too
upset
to
make
a
conversation.
“Tasha,
would
you
like
to
know
where
we
are
going?”
Mom
asked
calmly.
“I
guess...”
I
murmured
under
my
breath.
“Sweetheart,
we
are
going
to
a
children's
shelter,
I
have
been
there
before
and
I
think
it
would
benefit
you,”she
explained.
I
felt
a
knot
slowly
form
in
my
stomach.How
was
I
supposed
to
help
there?
When
we
reached
the
shelter,
I
was
rather
surprised.It
was
a
large
white
Victorian
home.As
we
approached
the
large
front
porch,
wind
bells
played
a
calming
tune
while
trees
and
blossoms
welcomed
us.Maybe
this
wasn't
going
to
be
so
bad.
Mom
rang
the
doorbell.The
door
flew
open
and
we
were
led
to
the
front
room,
where
all
of
the
children
were
playing.Toys
were
spread
out
across
the
floor.I
noticed
a
baby
whose
body
was
scarred
with
wounds.The
majority
of
the
children
had
noticeable
physical
scars
(伤疤)
such
as
cuts,
scratches
and
bums.What
a
terrible
life
they
had
had
before
they
moved
here!
My
heart
sank.

Paragraph
1:
As
I
was
looking
around,
I
felt
a
gentle
pull
on
my
shirt.I
looked
down
to
see
a
little
girl
with
brown
eyes
looking
up
at
me.Her
angelic
face
beamed,
though,
as
I
could
see,
there
were
some
scars
on
her
little
arms.“Hi.I'm
Ashley.You
wanna
play
dolts
with
me?”
she
asked.I
looked
over
and
saw
Mom
nodding
to
me
with
a
smile.I
bent
toward
Ashley
and
whispered,“Sure.I'd
love
to.”
Her
tiny
hand
reached
up
and
took
mine,
and
we
walked
toward
the
doll
house.Our
time
together
brought
her
great
joy
and
fun
and
she
also
made
my
day.
Paragraph
2:
I
returned
to
the
shelter
with
Mom
several
times.During
those
visits,
some
of
the
children
induding
Ashley
shared
their
troubled
pasts
with
me
in
great
detail.I
felt
sore
for
what
had
happened
to
them
and
treasured
the
friendship
between
us.I
would
like
to
do
everything
in
my
power
to
help
the
children
there.At
the
same
time,
I
leaned
to
be
grateful
for
all
that
I
had.It
was
a
profound
time
in
my
young
life
that
I
will
never
forget.It
was
Mom
who
taught
me
the
valuable
lesson
that
summer.
