三、阅读理解
Wanda
Butts
dropped
the
phone
and
screamed
when
she
heard
the
news
that
her
son
was
dead.
Josh
had
drowned(溺亡)
while
sailing
on
a
lake
with
friends.The
16-year-old
didn’t
know
how
to
swim,and
he
wasn’t
wearing
a
life
jacket.
Josh
was
not
alone
in
the
black
community.According
to
USA
Swimming,70%
of
African-American
children
cannot
swim.According
to
the
Centers
for
Disease
Control
and
Prevention,African-American
children
between
the
ages
of
5
and
14
are
three
times
more
likely
to
drown
than
white
children
in
the
same
age
range(范围).
In
2007,Butts
started
the
Josh
Project,a
non-profit(非营利组织)
that
provides
low-cost
swimming
lessons
for
children
in
Toledo,Ohio.The
swimming
lessons
take
place
at
a
local
high
school
over
four
Saturdays
for
a
total
cost
of
$10.
To
date,the
Josh
Project
has
helped
more
than
1,000
children
learn
how
to
swim.
“The
public
pools
near
our
home
were
closed,and
other
places
were
not
affordable,”said
Lisa
Haynes,whose
14-year-old
son,Joshua,is
one
of
60-plus
students
in
the
Josh
Project
this
summer.
“I
am
less
worried
if
Joshua
is
near
water
because
he
has
the
basics
of
how
to
swim,”Haynes
said.“And
we’re
thankful
for
that.”
Butts
is
doing
much
more,however,than
just
providing
swimming
lessons.
“She
ups
the
awareness
(意识),”said
Shaun
Anderson,a
swimming
coach
who
was
so
inspired
by
her
story
that
he
created
a
Josh
Project
swimming
program
at
Norfolk
State
University.“Once
these
communities
learn
how
to
swim,they
will
pass
it
down,which
results
in
future
generations(代)
that
know
how
to
swim.”
Butts
said
she
has
two
wishes
for
the
future:One
is
to
change
the
drowning
numbers
of
African-American
children,and
the
other
is
to
have
a
swimming
center
where
the
children
can
swim
daily
instead
of
just
once
a
week.
1.What
led
to
Josh’s
drowning?
A.He
was
poor
in
boating
skills.
B.He
gave
his
life
jacket
to
a
friend.
C.He
was
never
taught
swimming
skills.
D.He
was
careless
when
swimming
in
the
lake.
答案C
解析细节理解题。由第二段可知,因为不会游泳且未穿救生衣,Josh在湖中与朋友们乘船航行时溺亡。
2.Why
did
the
author
list
the
numbers
in
Paragraph
3?
A.To
show
children
under
14
are
more
likely
to
drown.
B.To
argue
children
should
learn
swimming
at
a
very
young
age.
C.To
show
many
African-American
children
lack
swimming
skills.
D.To
introduce
the
difference
between
African-American
and
white
children.
答案C
解析推理判断题。第三段第一句为主旨句,即Josh的情况在美国非裔群体中并不罕见。接下来作者引用两个组织提供的数据来支持这个说法,70%的非裔美国儿童不会游泳,且在5到14岁年龄段的儿童之中,非裔美国儿童溺亡的人数要比白人儿童高出几倍。因此,这些数据是为了说明非裔美国儿童当中有许多人都不会游泳。
3.What
can
we
learn
about
the
Josh
Project?
A.It
has
its
own
swimming
pools.
B.It
provides
lessons
only
in
summer.
C.It
serves
children
aged
from
5
to
14.
D.Its
swimming
lessons
take
place
once
a
week.
答案D
解析细节理解题。由第四段中的“The
swimming
lessons...four
Saturdays”以及最后一段中的“where
the
children...just
once
a
week”可知,该组织每周六开设游泳课程,一周一次。
4.What
did
Lisa
Haynes
think
of
the
swimming
lessons
the
Josh
Project
provides?
A.Expensive. B.Helpful.
C.Interesting.
D.Difficult.
答案B
解析推理判断题。由倒数第四段中Haynes所说的话可知,她的儿子通过游泳课程学会了基本的游泳技能,她对此很感激。因此可推断,Haynes认为该公益组织开设的游泳课程很有用。

参考范文
Yesterday,I
watched
the
news
on
TV
about
a
school
shooting
in
the
USA.In
the
shooting,more
than
ten
people
were
killed
and
twenty
were
injured,which
caused
a
great
panic
in
the
society
and
made
parents
absolutely
worried
and
anxious.
If
you
glance
through
the
American
history,you
may
find
such
shootings
actually
happen
frequently,and
that
the
cases
vary
a
lot.
We
hope
that
the
government
can
guarantee
that
the
students
are
safe
and
sound.第五单元测评

M:Good
evening,everyone.Do
you
know
at
what
age
a
child
becomes
an
adult?
The
answer
depends
on
your
culture
or
religion.
First,in
some
North
American
Indian
cultures,a
boy
became
a
man
around
the
age
of
13.At
that
time,he
would
go
into
the
woods
alone,without
food
or
water,for
several
days.When
he
returned
safely,he
became
an
adult
man.
In
Japan
today,young
people
become
legal
adults
at
age
20.Each
year
on
January
15,they
wear
traditional
clothes,listen
to
speeches,and
visit
old
friends.
Finally,in
the
United
States,the
passage
into
adulthood
takes
several
years.American
teenagers
can
get
a
driver’s
license
at
the
age
of
16.The
legal
age
of
adulthood
is
18.However,they
must
wait
until
age
21
to
buy
alcohol.
OK,that’s
all
for
my
lecture.You
are
required
to
write
a
summary
of
this
class.
17.What
probably
is
the
speaker?
A.A
writer.
B.A
teacher.
C.A
reporter.
答案B
18.How

traditional
clothes.
C.By
spending
several
days
in
the
woods
alone
safely.

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
Surviving
Hurricane
Sandy(飓风桑迪)
Natalie
Doan,14,has
always
felt
lucky
to
live
in
Rockaway,New
York.Living
just
a
few
blocks
from
the
beach,Natalie
can
see
the
ocean
and
hear
the
waves
from
her
house.“It’s
the
ocean
that
makes
Rockaway
so
special,”
she
says.
On
October
29,2012,that
ocean
turned
fierce.That
night,Hurricane
Sandy
attacked
the
East
Coast,and
Rockaway
was
hit
especially
hard.Fortunately,Natalie’s
family
escaped
to
Brooklyn
shortly
before
the
city’s
bridges
closed.
When
they
returned
to
Rockaway
the
next
day,they
found
their
neighborhood
in
ruins.Many
of
Natalie’s
friends
had
lost
their
homes
and
were
living
far
away.All
around
her,people
were
suffering,especially
the
elderly.Natalie’s
school
was
so
damaged
that
she
had
to
temporarily
attend
a
school
in
Brooklyn.
In
the
following
few
days,the
men
and
women
helping
Rockaway
recover
inspired
Natalie.Volunteers
came
with
carloads
of
donated
clothing
and
toys.Neighbors
devoted
their
spare
time
to
helping
others
rebuild.Teenagers
climbed
dozens
of
flights
of
stairs
to
deliver
water
and
food
to
elderly
people
trapped
in
powerless
high-rise
buildings.
“My
mom
tells
me
that
I
can’t
control
what
happens
to
me,”Natalie
says,“but
I
can
always
choose
how
I
deal
with
it.”
Natalie’s
choice
was
to
help.
She
created
a
website
page,matching
survivors
in
need
with
donors
who
wanted
to
help.Natalie
posted
information
about
a
boy
named
Patrick,who
lost
his
baseball
card
collection
when
his
house
burned
down.Within
days,Patrick’s
collection
was
replaced.
In
the
coming
months,her
website
page
helped
lots
of
kids:Christopher,who
received
a
new
basketball;Charlie,who
got
a
new
keyboard.Natalie
also
worked
with
other
organizations
to
bring
much-needed
supplies
to
Rockaway.Her
efforts
made
her
a
famous
person.Last
April,she
was
invited
to
the
White
House
and
honored
as
a
Hurricane
Sandy
Champion
of
Change.
Today,the
scars(创痕)
of
destruction
are
still
seen
in
Rockaway,but
hope
is
in
the
air.The
streets
are
clear,and
many
homes
have
been
rebuilt.“I
can’t
imagine
living
anywhere
but
Rockaway,”Natalie
declares.“My
neighborhood
will
be
back,even
stronger
than
before.”
21.When
Natalie
returned
to
Rockaway
after
the
hurricane,she
found
.?
A.some
friends
had
lost
their
lives
B.her
neighborhood
was
destroyed
C.her
school
had
moved
to
Brooklyn
D.the
elderly
were
free
from
suffering
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知,Natalie第二天回到家时,发现她们的居住区已变成一片废墟。
22.According
to
Paragraph
4,who
inspired
Natalie
most?
A.The
people
helping
Rockaway
rebuild.
B.The
people
trapped
in
high-rise
buildings.
C.The
volunteers
donating
money
to
survivors.
D.Local
teenagers
bringing
clothing
to
elderly
people.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第四段第一句中的“...the
men
and
women
helping
Rockaway
recover
inspired
Natalie.”可知,帮助洛克威重建的人们使Natalie最受鼓舞。
23.How
did
Natalie
help
the
survivors?
A.She
gave
her
toys
to
other
kids.
B.She
took
care
of
younger
children.
C.She
called
on
the
White
House
to
help.
D.She
built
an
information
sharing
platform.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第七段第一句可知,她建立了一个网站,将需要帮助的幸存者和想要帮助灾民的捐赠者进行匹配。故选D项(她建立了一个信息共享平台)。
B
In
Kansas
City,Missouri,a
computer
helps
firefighters.The
computer,which
works
very
fast,has
information
about
all
the
350,000
street
addresses
in
the
city.Within
two
or
three
seconds
after
a
call
is
received,the
computer
provides
necessary
information
for
the
firefighters.The
information
is
then
sent
to
them
by
radio
from
the
computer
centre
in
the
City
Hall.The
exact
place
of
the
burning
building
and
its
size,type
and
any
other
details
are
clear
to
them.
The
Kansas
City
computer
system
also
has
a
medical
record
of
each
of
the
city’s
900
firefighters.This
kind
of
information
is
especially
useful
when
a
firefighter
is
injured.With
the
information,doctors
at
hospital
can
treat
the
injured
firefighters
more
quickly
and
easily.
The
firefighters
themselves
greatly
appreciate
the
computer’s
help.They
know
about
possible
danger
ahead
of
them
and
can
prepare
for
it.Many
times
the
computer
information
helps
to
save
lives
and
property(财产).Sometimes
the
lives
are
those
of
firefighters
themselves.
Mike
Horan,a
firefighter
captain,says,“I
feel
as
if
the
computer
is
ready
to
help
me
if
I
get
hurt.”

C
A
new
study
suggests
that
dark
markings
on
the
planet
Mars
represent
sand—not
water.The
research
in
2015
suggested
that
lines
on
some
Martian
hills
were
evidence
of
water.Yet
American
scientists
now
say
these
lines
appear
more
like
dry,flows
of
sand.If
water
is
present,it
is
likely
to
be
a
small
amount.Water
in
liquid
form
would
be
necessary
for
microbial(微生物的)
life.
NASA,the
American
space
agency,said
more
research
is
needed.Michael
Meyer
is
the
lead
scientist
for
NASA’s
Mars
exploration
programme.He
noted
that
the
latest
study
does
not
reject
the
presence
of
water.But
he
admitted,“It
just
may
not
be
as
exciting
as
the
idea
of
rivers
going
down
the
sides
of
cliffs(悬崖).”
The
new
findings
come
from
a
team
led
by
Colin
Dundas
of
the
United
States
Geological
Survey.His
team
measured
151
of
these
lines
in
10
areas.Most
of
the
lines
end
with
slopes
between
28
degrees
and
35
degrees.These
measurements
are
similar
to
active
sand
dunes(沙丘)
on
both
Mars
and
Earth.A
small
covering
of
dust
that
moves
and
sometimes
becomes
lighter
might
help
explain
the
markings.They
usually
appear
in
the
Martian
summertime,and
then
disappear
until
the
next
year.If
these
lines
are
dry,this
suggests
that
recent
Mars
has
not
had
large
volumes
of
liquid
water.Dundas
and
his
research
team
say
that
many
questions
remain.
“I
still
think
that
Mars
has
a
great
potential
for
having
had
life
early
on
in
its
history,”
Meyer
said.“As
long
as
that’s
true,we
also
have
a
reasonable
possibility
of
life
still
being
on
Mars.It
just
happens
to
be
cryptic
or
well
hidden.”
NASA
currently
has
no
robotic
vehicle—either
on
Mars
or
in
development—with
the
ability
to
climb
steep
slopes.The
lack
of
such
equipment
has
engineers
coming
up
with
ideas
like
Martian
helicopters
or
planes
without
pilots.
28.What
do
American
scientists
find
on
Mars
now
according
to
their
study?
A.A
lot
of
little
life.
B.An
amount
of
water.
C.Some
Martian
hills.
D.Dark
markings
are
sand.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“A
new
study
suggests
that
dark
markings
on
the
planet
Mars
represent
sand—not
water.”可知,科学家发现火星上的黑色标记是沙子不是水。故选D项。
29.When
do
the
markings
come
out?
A.In
Martian
spring.
B.In
Martian
summer.
C.In
Martian
autumn.
D.In
Martian
winter.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第三句“They
usually
appear
in
the
Martian
summertime,and
then
disappear
until
the
next
year.”可知,这样的标记会出现在火星的夏季。故选B项。
30.What’s
Meyer’s
opinion
about
having
life
on
Mars?
A.Doubtful.
B.Trustful.
C.Indifferent.
D.Objective.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据第四段内容可推知,Meyer还是相信火星上有生命。故选B项。
31.What
does
the
underlined
word
“cryptic”
in
Paragraph
4
mean?
A.Undiscovered.
B.Strange.
C.Magical.
D.Icy.
答案A
解析词义猜测题。根据句中的or
well
hidden可知,cryptic的意思是“隐藏的;没被发现的”。故选A项。
D
Large
clouds
of
dust
blowing
off
the
Sahara
desert
can
easily
be
seen
from
space.
Joseph
Prospero
is
with
the
University
of
Miami
in
the
United
States.He
has
studied
African
dust
for
many
years.“Atmospheric
dust
African
dust
is
one
of
the
most
prominent(显著的)
atmospheric
features,second
only
to
clouds,”he
said.
In
the
1970s,Joseph
Prospero
found
that
a
large
amount
of
dust
can
blow
all
the
way
across
the
Atlantic
Ocean.“It
is
obvious
that
there
is
a
lot
of
dust.When
it
rains
in
Barbados
or
even
here
in
Miami
during
the
summer
months,you
actually
get
a
layer
of
mud
in
the
bottom
of
a
bucket(桶).”
African
dust
storms
can
harm
air
quality
across
the
ocean.But
new
research
shows
that
the
storms
also
can
do
some
good.Scientists
observed
Saharan
dust
by
satellite
as
it
blew
across
the
Atlantic.
Hongbin
Yu
is
an
atmospheric
scientist
at
the
University
of
Maryland.He
found
that
an
average
of
28
million
metric
tons
of
dust
fall
in
South
America’s
Amazon
River
basin
each
year.“Yes,it
is
surprising
because
of
the
huge
amount
of
dust
and
phosphorus(磷).”Phosphorus
is
a
fertilizer
that
plants
need
to
grow.Hongbin
Yu
found
that
the
Amazon
receives
about
22
thousand
metric
tons
of
Saharan
dust
each
year.He
says
the
dust
is
an
important
provider
of
fertilizer.“The
soil
has
limited
phosphorus
and
it
also
can
be
washed
out
by
rain
and
flooding.”
In
fact,the
phosphorus
falling
from
the
sky
is
about
the
same
as
the
amount
that
rivers
carry
away
each
year.The
thick
rainforest
and
the
desert
dust
are
joined
together
on
one
small
planet.?
32.According
to
Joseph
Prospero,atmospheric
dust
.?
A.is
similar
to
clouds
B.can
be
easily
noticed
C.is
carried
by
rainwater
D.is
actually
called
African
dust
答案B
解析推理判断题。由第二段可知,大气尘埃是仅次于云的第二大显著的大气特征。由第三段可知,大量非洲尘埃甚至能被吹过大西洋,下雨的时候在桶底发现的那层泥就是尘埃。由此可知,大气尘埃是很容易被观察到的。
33.What
can
we
learn
about
Saharan
dust?
A.It
pollutes
the
air
in
the
Amazon
badly.
B.It
contains
more
phosphorus
than
the
Amazon
soil.
C.The
amount
of
phosphorus
in
it
isn’t
enough
for
the
Amazon.
D.About
28
million
metric
tons
of
it
fall
in
the
Amazon
each
year.
答案C
解析推理判断题。由倒数第二段可知,每年有两千八百万公吨的尘埃落入亚马孙,其中的两万两千公吨是来自撒哈拉的尘埃。由最后一段可知,掉落的尘埃中的磷的量正好弥补了河流带走的磷的量。由此可知,撒哈拉尘埃中的磷只占亚马孙需求量中的一小部分。
34.With
the
underlined
sentence,the
author
tends
to
indicate
that
.?
A.it
is
a
wonder
that
nature
creates
B.the
planet
we
live
on
is
too
small
C.desert
and
rainforest
matter
the
same
D.desert
dust
does
more
good
than
harm
答案A
解析句意理解题。亚马孙河每年带走大量的泥沙以及包括磷在内的物质,而同时从撒哈拉飘来的尘埃恰好给予了植物生长需要的磷等元素,所以作者说这句话旨在赞叹大自然创造的奇迹。
35.The
text
mainly
wants
to
tell
readers
that
Saharan
dust
.?
A.is
a
threat
to
our
planet
B.feeds
Amazon
rainforest
C.harms
the
balance
of
nature
D.puts
the
Amazon
in
big
danger
答案B
解析主旨大意题。文章第四段说尘埃会污染空气,接下来话锋一转,说明新的研究证明尘埃也是有益的——撒哈拉尘埃给亚马孙雨林带来了植物生长所需要的大量的磷。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
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选项。
“The
calm
before
the
storm”
is
a
very
familiar
expression.It
is
usually
used
to
describe
a
peaceful
period
just
before
a
very
stressful
situation
or
a
tense
argument. 36
They
noted
that
before
certain
storms
the
seas
would
seem
to
become
calm
and
the
winds
would
drop.?
But
why
is
it
often
so
calm
before
a
storm? 37
According
to
US
website
HowStuffWorks,a
calm
period
occurs
because
many
storms,tornadoes
and
hurricanes
draw
in
all
the
warm
and
damp
air
from
the
surrounding
area.As
this
air
rises
into
the
storm
clouds,it
cools
and
acts
as
“fuel
for
the
storm,like
petrol
in
a
car”.?
Once
the
storm
has
taken
all
the
energy
it
can
from
the
air,it
is
pushed
out
from
the
top
of
the
storm
clouds
and
falls
back
down
to
ground
level. 38
So
once
it
covers
an
area,it
causes
a
calm
period
before
the
storm.?
39
First
count
how
many
seconds
there
are
between
a
flash
of
lightning
and
a
clap
of
thunder,roughly
three
seconds
equal
one
kilometer.A
good
judgement
is
that
if
your
count
is
below
30
seconds,you
should
seek
shelter
straight
away.?
However,due
to
the
complexity
of
the
storm
system,calm
doesn’t
always
go
first.So,your
best
bet
is
to
keep
yourself
updated
with
weather
reports
for
any
predictions
regarding
a
coming
storm
in
your
area. 40 ?
A.Science
has
given
us
the
answer.
B.There
is
no
definite
answer
to
the
question.
C.Weather
reports
sometimes
cannot
be
trusted.
D.British
sailors
coined
the
phrase
in
the
late
1600s.
E.As
the
air
declines,it
becomes
warm
and
dry,which
is
stable.
F.The
Weather

One
of
the
most
remarkable
things
about
the
human
mind
is
our
ability
to
imagine
the
future.In
our
41
we
can
see
what
has
not
yet
happened.For
example,while
we
are
looking
forward
to
42
a
new
place
or
country,we
43
what
it
will
be
like.We
predict
the
44
people
will
eat,dress
and
act.Of
course,we
do
not
always
predict
things
45 .Things
are
often
very
different
from
the
way
we
46
them
to
be.?
One
of
the
47
dreams
in
history
is
the
dream
of
the
German
scientist,Kekule,who
had
been
48
to
work
out
a
very
difficult
problem
in
physics.He
had
49
and
analyzed
the
problem
from
every
angle
for
days,but
there
50
to
be
no
way
of
51
out
the
answer.Then
one
night
he
went
to
bed
and
dreamed.When
he
52
up,he
realized
that
he
knew
the
answer.He
had
solved
the
problem
in
his
53 .?
It
is
said
that
in
order
to
figure
out
the
process,the
hypnotist(催眠师)sat
in
the
chair
opposite
him
and
spoke
54 ,“I
want
you
to
concentrate
on
my
voice.Think
about
55 .You
know
nothing
but
my
voice.And
as
you
pay
attention
to
my
voice,your
56
will
get
heavier.Soon
you’ll
be
asleep.?
You
will
hear
my
voice
and
57
my
words,but
your
body
will
be
asleep,your
eyes
are
too
heavy.You
are
58
asleep,and
when
you
wake
up
you
will
59
nothing.You
will
forget
everything.Now
I
am
going
to
60
slowly
from
one
to
five.One,two,three,four,five...”?
41.A.brains
B.senses
C.minds
D.sights
答案C
解析由前一句“One
of
the
most
remarkable
things
about
the
human
mind
is
our
ability
to
imagine
the
future.”可知,人类思维最显著的特点之一就是有想象未来的能力。据此可知,空处指“思维”,故C项正确。
42.A.visiting
B.seeking
C.reaching
D.discovering
答案A
解析由该句中的a
new
place
or
country可以判断,当我们期望去参观某个新地方或新国家时,我们总是想象那里会是什么样子。visit“参观,访问”。
43.A.imagine
B.know
C.feel
D.guess
答案A
解析这里指想象那里会是什么样子。imagine“想象,设想”。
44.A.custom
B.habit
C.style
D.way
答案D
解析由该段最后一句中的the
way,并结合该句“We
predict
the
44
people
will
eat,dress
and
act.”可知,我们总会预测(这个地方的)人们的饮食、衣着和行为方式。way“方式”,符合语境。custom
“风俗”;habit“习惯”;style“风格”。?
45.A.quickly
B.simply
C.correctly
D.neatly
答案C
解析由空处后的句子“Things
are
often
very
different
from
the
way
we
46
them
to
be.”可知,事物总是不同于我们预料的那样;据此可以判断,我们不是总能正确地预测事物。correctly“正确地,恰当地”。?
46.A.required
B.wished
C.left
D.expected
答案D
解析require“需要,要求”;wish“希望”;leave“离开”;expect“预料,预期”。这里指不是总能正确地预测事物,因此D项正确。
47.A.funny
B.dull
C.famous
D.silly
答案C
解析由该句中的“dreams
in
history
is
the
dream
of
the
German
scientist,Kekule”及下文可知,该处陈述的是历史上著名的梦之一,那就是德国科学家
Kekule的梦。famous“著名的”,符合语境。funny“有趣的”;dull“无趣的”;silly“愚蠢的”。
48.A.managing
B.trying
C.thinking
D.hoping
答案B
解析由该句中的“Kekule,who
had
been
48
to
work
out
a
very
difficult
problem
in
physics”及下文可知,Kekule
一直在努力解一道物理难题;try
to
do
sth.“努力做某事”,符合语境。manage
to
do
sth.“设法做成某事”,强调结果。?
49.A.studied
B.learned
C.discussed
D.searched
答案A
解析由该句中的“He
had
49
and
analyzed
the
problem
from
every
angle
for
days”可知,他从多个角度研究(studied
)和分析了这个难题。?
50.A.used
B.ought
C.seemed
D.had
答案C
解析由该句中的“but
there
50
to
be
no
way
of
51
out
the
answer”可知,似乎没有办法弄清答案。seem“似乎,好像”符合语境。?
51.A.bringing
B.finding
C.turning
D.letting
答案B
解析这里指弄清楚答案,find
out“弄清,査明”,故选B项。bring
out“使表现出”;turn
out“结果是,证明是”;let
out“突然,发出”。
52.A.gave
B.sat
C.woke
D.got
答案C
解析由前一句“Then
one
night
he
went
to
bed
and
dreamed.”可知,空处表示他醒来时意识到自己知道了答案。wake
up为固定短语,“醒来”,故C项正确。
53.A.dream
B.lesson
C.research
D.exercise
答案A
解析由上文中的“he
went
to
bed
and
dreamed.When
he
52
up,he
realized
that
he
knew
the
answer”可知,他在梦(dream)中解决了这个难题。?
54.A.softly
B.loudly
C.slowly
D.firmly
答案A
解析由语境并结合常识可知,此处是将Kekule进行催眠,故催眠师应是柔和地(softly)说着话。
55.A.everything
B.something
C.nothing
D.anything
答案C
解析由空前一句“I
want
you
to
concentrate
on
my
voice”及下文中的“You
know
nothing
but
my
voice”可知,空处应指什么都不要想。C项符合语境。
56.A.eyes
B.feet
C.head
D.body
答案A
解析由常识可知,被催眠师催眠时,眼睛会变得沉重。故A项正确。
57.A.believe
B.repeat
C.take
D.understand
答案D
解析由该句中的“You
will
hear
my
voice
and
57
my
words”可知,此处指听到声音并理解听到的话。understand“理解,明白”,符合语境。?
58.A.really
B.extremely
C.actually
D.almost
答案D
解析由空处前一句可知,此处指你几乎要睡着了。really“真正地;确实”;extremely“极其;非常”;actually“实际上”;almost“几乎”,因此选D项。
59.A.accept
B.remember
C.hear
D.receive
答案B
解析由下文中的“You
will
forget
everything”可知,空处指你将什么都不记得。B项符合语境。
60.A.count
B.say
C.add
D.speak
答案A
解析由文中的“Now
I
am
going
to
60
slowly
from
one
to
five.One,two,three,four,five”可知,此处表示数数;A项“(按顺序)计数;数数”,符合语境。?

五、阅读理解
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
color
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.
1.Why
do
large
numbers
of
people
come
to
Pompeii
each
year?
A.To
visit
the
volcano.
B.To
see
how
Pompeians
lived.
C.To
watch
sports
and
plays.
D.To
shop
and
eat
there.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“They
see
the
sights
that
Pompeii
is
famous
for,such
as
its
stadium,theatres,shops
and
restaurants.”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项。
2.Why
had
so
many
Pompeians
remained
by
Mount
Vesuvius?
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.
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“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
项。
3.Why
did
the
city
uncovered
look
almost
the
same
as
it
had
looked
in
AD
79?
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.
答案C
解析推理判断题。由第二段以及第三段的最后两句可知,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项。

三、阅读理解
A
Peter
and
his
wife
Marion
loved
adventures
and
headed
out
in
their
beloved
van
(货车)Schoen
to
discover
the
sights
of
South
Australia,making
wonderful
family
memories
along
the
way.After
Marion
died
in
2009,the
well-travelled
Schoen
ended
up
taking
up
a
permanent
position
in
the
driveway.Peter,now
retired,could
no
longer
bear
to
keep
it
and
put
Schoen
up
for
sale.
On
the
other
side
of
the
city,26-year-old
Elise
loved
the
idea
of
owning
her
“happiness
bus”
and
seeing
the
country
with
her
husband
Domenic.
While
browsing
online
ads,Elise
spotted
Schoen.“I
had
to
calm
my
racing
heart.”
Of
course
Schoen
was
everything
Elise
had
been
dreaming
of.But
at
the
price
of
$
39,000,it
was
“completely
impossible”.Teary-eyed
and
with
a
sunken
heart,the
couple
left.“We
shared
with
him
our
story,and
told
him
our
dream
to
own
a
van
like
that,”
wrote
Elise.
A
few
days
later,Peter
invited
them
back
for
a
second
look.Peter
told
the
couple
he
had
so
far
received
two
offers
for
Schoen,both
of
which
met
his
asking
price.Then
Peter
went
on
to
say
that
those
offers
were
from
collectors,who
would
no
doubt
care
well
for
Schoen,but
that
would
likely
mean
her
in
a
shed
or
workshop
for
her
remaining
years,or
simply
gathering
dust
in
a
display.What,Peter
was
interested
to
know,would
Elise
and
Domenic
be
able
to
afford?
Domenic
said
that
the
most
they
could
spend
was
around
half
of
what
he
was
asking.Peter,holding
back
tears
himself,told
the
couple
that
he
would
accept
their
offer,on
one
condition:“You
must
promise
me
you’ll
have
adventures.And
when
you
have
your
own
children,you
have
to
take
them
on
many
adventures.”
Now
Schoen
is
out
there
somewhere,on
glorious
adventures
around
Australia,helping
Elise
and
Domenic
create
memories
for
themselves
and
for
their
children
yet
to
come.
1.What
happened
to
Schoen
after
Marion
died?
A.It
broke
down
for
lack
of
care
and
use.
B.It
was
put
away
in
a
workshop
for
repair.
C.It
was
left
without
touch
at
home.
D.It
was
decorated
with
family
photos.
答案C
解析
推理判断题。由第一段可知,在彼得妻子去世后,他们心爱的货车在家里的车道上占据了永久的位置。由此推断,这辆车再也没有人开出去旅游了,因此选C项。
2.How
did
Elise
feel
the
moment
she
saw
Schoen?
A.Puzzled. B.Sympathetic.
C.Disappointed.
D.Excited.
答案D
解析推理判断题。由第三段中的“I
had
to
calm
my
racing
heart.”可知,伊莉斯看到这辆货车的时候感到非常兴奋。
3.Why
did
Peter
refuse
the
other
two
offers?
A.The
car
would
stop
its
exploration.
B.The
car
would
be
left
without
repair.
C.The
offers
were
below
what
he
charged.
D.The
car
didn’t
worth
the
offered
price.
答案A
解析
细节理解题。由第四段中的“but
that
would
likely
mean
her
in
a
shed
or
workshop
for
her
remaining
years,or
simply
gathering
dust
in
a
display”可知,另外两位买家会将这辆车束之高阁,这是彼得不愿意看到的。
4.Which
of
the
following
is
true
about
Schoen
now?
A.It’s
become
a
glory
on
Australian
roads.
B.It’s
taking
adventures
with
its
new
owners.
C.It
creates
good
memories
for
Elise
and
Peter.
D.It’s
in
good
repair
for
a
worldwide
exhibition.
答案B
解析细节理解题。由最后一段可知,这辆车现在总是在澳大利亚进行着各种探险活动,为伊莉斯和她的丈夫创造很多回忆,因此B项正确。
B
(2019江苏高考)
In
the
1960s,while
studying
the
volcanic
history
of
Yellowstone
National
Park,Bob
Christiansen
became
puzzled
about
something
that,oddly,had
not
troubled
anyone
before:he
couldn’t
find
the
park’s
volcano.It
had
been
known
for
a
long
time
that
Yellowstone
was
volcanic
in
nature—that’s
what
accounted
for
all
its
hot
springs
and
other
steamy
features.But
Christiansen
couldn’t
find
the
Yellowstone
volcano
anywhere.
Most
of
us,when
we
talk
about
volcanoes,think
of
the
classic
cone(圆锥体)
shapes
of
a
Fuji
or
Kilimanjaro,which
are
created
when
erupting
magma(岩浆)
piles
up.These
can
form
remarkably
quickly.In
1943,a
Mexican
farmer
was
surprised
to
see
smoke
rising
from
a
small
part
of
his
land.In
one
week
he
was
the
confused
owner
of
a
cone
five
hundred
feet
high.Within
two
years
it
had
topped
out
at
almost
fourteen
hundred
feet
and
was
more
than
half
a
mile
across.Altogether
there
are
some
ten
thousand
of
these
volcanoes
on
Earth,all
but
a
few
hundred
of
them
extinct.There
is,however,a
second
less
known
type
of
volcano
that
doesn’t
involve
mountain
building.These
are
volcanoes
so
explosive
that
they
burst
open
in
a
single
big
crack,leaving
behind
a
vast
hole,the
caldera.Yellowstone
obviously
was
of
this
second
type,but
Christiansen
couldn’t
find
the
caldera
anywhere.
Just
at
this
time
NASA
decided
to
test
some
new
high-altitude
cameras
by
taking
photographs
of
Yellowstone.A
thoughtful
official
passed
on
some
of
the
copies
to
the
park
authorities
on
the
assumption
that
they
might
make
a
nice
blow-up
for
one
of
the
visitors’
centers.As
soon
as
Christiansen
saw
the
photos,he
realized
why
he
had
failed
to
spot
the
caldera:almost
the
whole
park—2.2
million
acres—was
caldera.The
explosion
had
left
a
hole
more
than
forty
miles
across—much
too
huge
to
be
seen
from
anywhere
at
ground
level.At
some
time
in
the
past
Yellowstone
must
have
blown
up
with
a
violence
far
beyond
the
scale
of
anything
known
to
humans.
5.What
puzzled
Christiansen
when
he
was
studying
Yellowstone?
A.Its
complicated
geographical
features.
B.Its
ever-lasting
influence
on
tourism.
C.The
mysterious
history
of
the
park.
D.The
exact
location
of
the
volcano.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第一段第一句中的“he
couldn’t
find
the
park’s
volcano”可知,让Christiansen困惑的是火山的确切位置。
6.What
does
the
second
paragraph
mainly
talk
about?
A.The
shapes
of
volcanoes.
B.The
impacts
of
volcanoes.
C.The
activities
of
volcanoes.
D.The
heights
of
volcanoes.
答案A
解析段落大意题。根据第二段的主要内容,特别是倒数第三句“There
is,however,a
second
less
known
type
of
volcano...”可知,该段主要介绍了火山因为类型不同,所以形状不同。
7.What
does
the
underlined
word“blow-up”in
the
last
paragraph
most
probably
mean?
A.Hot-air
balloon.
B.Digital
camera.
C.Big
photograph.
D.Bird’s
view.
答案C
解析词义猜测题。根据该段第一句中的“taking
photographs”以及第三句中的“the
photos”可推断,划线单词指的就是“照片”。
