五、阅读理解
A
While
many
people
dream
of
mermaids(美人鱼),few
people
actually
try
to
become
one.How
can
someone
become
a
mermaid
if
they
don’t
exist?Just
ask
Dana
Richardson,who
is
a
professional
mermaid
in
Hawaii!
“As
a
child,I
always
felt
very
connected
to
the
ocean
and
played
mermaids
in
the
water,”
says
Dana.“My
love
of
the
ocean
took
me
to
different
types
of
work
such
as
a
lifeguard,swim
instructor,boat
crew
member,underwater
photographer,boat
captain,and
surfer.I
just
decided
to
take
it
to
the
next
level
and
grow
a
tail!”
Dana
doesn’t
mean
literally(照字面地).In
2008
she
began
making
mermaid
tails
from
materials
including
shiny
fabric(织物)
that
she
wears
while
free-diving
in
the
waters
around
Kona,Hawaii.Free-diving
means
diving
without
any
protective
equipment.It
requires
you
to
hold
your
breath
while
swimming
deep
underwater.As
she
dives
in,Dana
not
only
looks
like
a
mermaid;she
experiences
what
it
is
like
to
swim
like
one
too.
The
waters
around
Dana’s
home
in
Kona
are
filled
with
wildlife,including
dolphins
and
whales.Kona
is
by
a
sheltered
sea
where
the
waters
are
calm
for
swimming.For
ten
years
Dana
has
been
swimming
with
the
creatures
of
Kona.Some
of
them
have
even
learned
to
recognise
her.
Dana
knows
how
to
swim
with
sea
life
because
she
is
a
trained
marine(海洋的)
naturalist.She
understands
the
behaviour
of
sea
life
and
knows
how
to
safely
interact
with
it.Every
morning
when
she
swims
with
sea
life
she
gets
to
experience
her
other
“home”.“The
ocean
beneath
the
depths
really
is
another
world.Watching
how
the
world
works
so
gracefully
in
that
circle
of
life
underwater
is
a
beautiful
thing.”
For
Dana
Richardson
being
a
mermaid
just
makes
sense.“I’ve
always
felt
more
comfortable
underwater
than
on
land,”she
says.
Would
you
like
to
follow
your
dream,even
if
it
seems
impossible?Dana
reminds
everyone.“One
person
can
truly
make
a
difference.By
following
your
heart
and
offering
the
world
your
unique
gifts,you
will
inspire
others
to
do
so.The
world
needs
you!”
1.What
has
been
influencing
Dana’s
work
experience
most?
A.Her
hobby.
B.Her
family.
C.Her
science
teacher.
D.Her
swim
instructor.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第二段首句以及“Myloveoftheocean...”可知是Dana对海洋和美人鱼的喜爱影响了她。
2.Why
does
Dana
make
mermaid
tails?
A.She
needs
them
to
protect
her.
B.She
wants
to
swim
like
a
mermaid.
C.She
needs
to
make
money
with
them.
D.She
wants
to
take
photos
of
mermaids.
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第三段末句“...sheexperienceswhatitisliketoswimlikeonetoo”可知做出美人鱼尾可以让Dana体验到像美人鱼一样游动的感觉。
3.Being
a
marine
naturalist
helps
Dana
.?
A.get
along
well
with
sea
life
B.discover
her
outstanding
gifts
C.appreciate
the
beauty
of
other
people
D.feel
comfortable
both
underwater
and
on
land
答案A
解析推理判断题。根据第五段的第二句话可推知成为海洋学者帮助Dana更好地了解海洋生物并与它们交流。
4.Dana
encourages
people
to
.?
A.help
those
in
need
B.love
marine
animals
C.try
to
realise
their
dreams
D.protect
the
marine
environment
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据末段的“Byfollowingyourheart...”可知Dana鼓励人们实现自己的梦想。
B
TailSpin
Two
dolphins
race
around
in
a
big
pool
in
the
Ocean
Park.The
smaller
dolphin,Grace,shows
off
a
few
of
her
tricks,turning
around
and
waving
hello
to
the
crowd.The
most
amazing
thing
about
her,however,is
that
she’s
even
swimming
at
all.She
doesn’t
have
a
tail.
Grace
lost
her
tail
as
a
baby
when
she
got
caught
up
in
a
fish
trap.When
the
dolphin
arrived
at
the
Ocean
Park
in
December
2005,she
was
fighting
for
her
life.“Is
she
going
to
make
it?”
Her
trainer,Abbey
Stone,feared
the
worst.Grace
did
make
it
—
but
her
tail
didn’t.She
ended
up
losing
her
flukes
and
the
lower
part
of
her
peduncle.
Over
the
past
six
years,she
has
learned
to
swim
without
her
tail.Dolphins
swim
by
moving
their
flukes
and
peduncle
up
and
down.Grace
taught
herself
to
move
another
way
—
like
a
fish!
She
pushes
herself
forward
through
the
water
by
moving
her
peduncle
from
side
to
side.
The
movements
put
harmful
pressure
on
Grace’s
backbone.So
a
company
offered
to
create
a
man-made
tail
for
her.The
tail
had
to
be
strong
enough
to
stay
on
Grace
as
she
swam
but
soft
enough
that
it
wouldn’t
hurt
her.
The
first
time
Grace
wore
the
artificial
tail,she
soon
shook
it
off
and
let
it
sink
to
the
bottom
of
the
pool.Now,she
is
still
learning
to
use
the
tail.Some
days
she
wears
it
for
an
hour
at
a
time,others
not
at
all.“The
new
tail
isn’t
necessary
for
her
to
feel
comfortable,”
says
Stone,“but
it
helps
to
keep
that
range
of
motion(动作)
and
build
muscles(肌肉).”
Now,the
dolphin
is
about
to
get
an
even
happier
ending.This
month,Grace
will
star
in
DolphinTale,a
film
that
focuses
on
her
rescue
and
recovery.Her
progress
has
inspired
more
than
just
a
new
movie.Many
people
travel
from
near
and
far
to
meet
her.Seeing
Grace
swim
with
her
man-made
tail
gives
people
so
much
courage.
5.When
Grace
first
arrived
at
the
Ocean
Park,her
trainer
worried
about
her
.?
A.physical
condition
B.potential
ability
C.chance
of
survival
D.adaptation
to
the
surroundings
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第二段第二、三两句可知,当格雷斯刚刚来到这个海洋公园时,训练员非常担心她能否活下来。
6.A
man-made
tail
is
created
for
Grace
to
.?
A.let
her
recover
faster
B.make
her
comfortable
C.adjust
her
way
of
swimming
D.help
her
perform
better
tricks
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知,人工的尾巴可能让海豚感到不舒服,但是可以帮助她保持动作的幅度,即游泳的方式。
7.The
story
of
Grace
inspires
people
to
.?
A.stick
to
their
dreams
B.treat
animals
friendly
C.treasure
what
they
have
D.face
difficulties
bravely
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据文章最后一段内容可推断,海豚格雷斯自强不息的故事将会激励人们勇敢面对困难和挫折。

三、阅读理解
A
It
was
a
Sunday
and
the
heavy
storm
had
lasted
all
night.The
morning
after
the
storm,though,was
beautiful:warm
air
and
a
calm,inviting
sea
touching
the
shore
gently.
My
father
realised
it
was
a
good
day
for
fishing
and
invited
my
sister
and
me
to
go
with
him.I
was
only
14
and
fishing
had
never
been
my
thing,but
I
decided
to
go
all
the
same.I’m
so
glad
I
did.?
On
the
road
to
the
harbour
we
could
see
the
terrible
destruction
on
the
coast,but
the
harbour
itself
was
in
fairly
good
shape.After
all,it
was
protected
by
the
arms
of
a
bay
that
had
only
one
tiny
channel
to
the
sea.As
we
got
on
board,we
noticed
two
big
humps(脊背)
in
the
distance.
On
approaching
them,we
saw
it
was
a
mother
whale
with
her
baby.We
couldn’t
believe
it—there
aren’t
any
whales
along
the
coast
here.The
storm
must
have
driven
them
across
the
ocean
into
the
bay,in
which
the
still
water
was
so
badly
polluted
that
nothing
could
survive.
The
little
baby
whale—actually
as
big
as
our
boat—was
obviously
stuck
and
could
not
move.The
mother
dived
under
the
water
and
came
up
suddenly,making
big
whirlpools(漩涡)and
waves.“She’s
trying
to
help
her
baby,but
on
the
wrong
side,”
my
father
said.At
this
point,my
father
moved
our
boat
in
a
semicircle
to
the
other
side
and,heading
the
boat
towards
the
baby
whale,pushed
it
gently.With
our
several
gentle
pushes
the
big
hump
turned
over
and
disappeared
under
water.Then
it
swam
up
right
beside
its
mum.They
struggled
in
their
desperate
attempts
to
escape
but
missed
the
exit
and
started
heading
in
the
wrong
direction.We
hurried
up
to
the
whales
and
tried
to
lead
them
towards
the
bay
channel.Slowly,they
let
us
lead
them,sometimes
rising
from
the
water
right
beside
us
to
breathe—and
to
give
us
a
trusting
look
with
those
huge
eyes.Once
they
hit
their
first
part
of
clean
water
flowing
straight
from
the
sea,the
mum
gave
us
a
wave
with
her
tail
and
off
they
swam
into
the
distance.
In
the
excitement
it
had
felt
like
only
a
few
minutes,but
we
had
been
with
those
wonderful
animals
for
almost
an
hour
and
a
half.That
was
the
simple
and
lasting
beauty
of
the
day.Nearly
four
decades
later,I
still
look
back
fondly
to
that
golden
day
at
sea.

B
Blue
whales
are
the
largest
animals
ever
known
to
have
existed
on
the
planet,and
they
can
grow
to
a
length
of
100
feet
and
weigh
more
than
330,000
pounds.But
recently
researchers
have
found
that
these
whales
are
on
the
move
and
they
have
migrated
from
California
waters
to
areas
off
Canada
and
Alaska
for
the
first
time
since
commercial
whaling
ended
in
1965.
The
researchers
identified
15
blue
whales
that
have
appeared
off
the
coast
of
British
Columbia
and
the
Gulf
of
Alaska
since
1997.Four
of
these
whales
were
recognised
as
ones
that
were
once
sighted
off
California
shores,suggesting
that
the
whales
are
returning
to
an
old
migration
pattern
between
the
coasts.
Before
commercial
whaling
began
in
the
early
1900s,blue
whales
were
found
widely
throughout
the
North
Pacific
and
California
waters.But
from
the
1920s
to
the
1960s,whaling
severely
reduced
the
whale
populations.Blue
whales
never
recovered
in
the
North
Pacific,making
sightings
in
this
area
rare.However,much
larger
groups
of
whales
have
been
observed
close
to
California
since
the
1970s.
The
scientists
had
previously
thought
that
the
California
population
was
separate
from
the
population
that
had
historically
lived
in
the
North
Pacific
waters.But
the
current
study
shows
that
whales
off
the
coast
of
British
Columbia
and
the
Gulf
of
Alaska
are
likely
part
of
the
California
population.
To
identify
the
blue
whales,the
researchers
looked
at
photos
of
cetaceans
taken
in
the
North
Pacific
Ocean
and
compared
them
with
a
library
of
blue
whale
pictures
taken
along
the
west
coast
of
the
United
States
and
Southern
Pacific.Up
to
now,the
researchers
are
not
quite
sure
why
the
whales
are
changing
their
migration
patterns,but
they
suspect
that
the
whales
may
be
following
their
food
moving
farther
north
by
the
changes
in
ocean
conditions.
5.According
to
the
passage,blue
whales
are
.?
A.following
a
fixed
route
of
migration
B.dying
out
due
to
commercial
whaling
C.moving
from
the
south
to
the
north
D.rarely
found
in
the
Southern
Pacific
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句中的“thewhalesmaybefollowingtheirfoodmovingfarthernorth”可推出,蓝鲸正从南向北移动。故选C项。
6.The
whale
population
in
the
North
Pacific
.?
A.is
different
from
the
California
population
B.is
probably
part
of
the
California
population
C.has
become
the
largest
group
since
the
1970s
D.has
lived
there
since
the
1960s
答案B
解析细节理解题。根据第四段中的“ButthecurrentstudyshowsthatwhalesoffthecoastofBritishColumbiaandtheGulfofAlaskaarelikelypartoftheCaliforniapopulation”可知,选B项。
7.The
underlined
word
“cetaceans”
in
Paragraph
5
probably
means
.?
A.land
creatures B.whale
species
C.ocean
conditions
D.migration
patterns
答案B
解析词义猜测题。根据第五段中的“Toidentifythebluewhales,theresearcherslookedatphotosofcetaceanstakenintheNorthPacificOcean”可知,为了辨认蓝鲸,研究者看在北太平洋拍的有关cetaceans的照片,所以cetaceans应该指的是鲸类。故选B项。
8.What
might
make
blue
whales
migrate
according
to
the
researchers?
A.Commercial
whaling.
B.Weather
conditions.
C.Life
reproduction.
D.Food
resources.
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“buttheysuspectthatthewhalesmaybefollowingtheirfoodmovingfarthernorth”可知,研究者怀疑蓝鲸有可能跟随着它们的食物向北移动。故选D项。
四、七选五阅读理解
In
the
winter
months,most
children
spend
their
time
on
video
games.Spending
their
time
on
video
games
for
a
long
time
is
harmful
to
them.How
you
can
try
your
best
to
get
them
active
and
keep
their
minds
and
bodies
healthy
is
very
necessary
and
important.1. Here
are
some
ideas:?
◆Take
out
some
old
games
After
hours
of
being
indoors,kids
will
quickly
get
tired
of
their
own
games
and
toys.Take
this
opportunity
to
teach
them
the
old
games
from
your
childhood.Make
up
new
rules
to
refresh
the
games
and
make
them
original
to
your
family.2. ?
◆Cook
together
Cooking
is
a
great
activity
because
the
whole
family
can
get
involved.3.
Kids
can
even
practice
their
reading
skills
by
reading
the
recipe
aloud
from
a
cookbook.Cooking
with
children
also
encourages
them
to
try
new
foods
because
they’ve
had
a
hand
in
making
the
finished
product.?
◆Make
use
of
that
big
project
You
may
have
spring
cleaning
plans,but
get
a
head
start
on
that
big
clean-out
project
this
winter.4.
Get
your
kids
involved
in
cleaning
the
garage
or
painting
the
guest
room.Once
the
project
is
complete,all
of
you
will
feel
satisfied
to
work
together.?
◆Go
on
an
indoor
adventure
Staying
at
home
day
after
day
is
really
dull
and
you
may
take
part
in
other
activities
with
your
kids.5.
Take
a
trip
to
an
indoor
ice
skating
or
roller
skating
rink.You
can
also
start
a
bowling
tournament
with
other
families
from
school
and
the
neighbourhood.?
A.Encourage
your
kids
to
join
in
the
project.
B.Set
aside
more
hours
for
your
work.
C.Assign
everyone
a
job,like
mixing
or
frying.
D.Most
kids
enjoy
outdoor
activities
in
winter.
E.Go
to
a
swimming
pool
in
a
local
gym.
F.Record
the
game
ideas
to
pick
out
a
fun
activity
later.
G.With

better,and
that
it

was
by
train.So

and
got
into
a

which
was
going
to
London.He
was
the

to
him,“Your
money
or
your
life?”“I
haven’t
got
a
penny,”
John
answered.“But
why
are
you
shaking

man
with
the
gun
asked

collector,and
I
haven’t
even

was
the

he
found
the

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
Dolphins
are
not
fish,but
warm-blooded
animals.They
live
in
groups,and
speak
to
each
other
in
their
own
language.In
this
way
they
are
like
other
animals,such
as
bees
and
birds.But
dolphins
are
very
different
from
almost
all
land
animals.Their
brain
is
nearly
the
same
size
as
our
own,and
they
live
a
long
time—at
least
twenty
or
thirty
years.
Like
some
other
animals,dolphins
use
sound
to
help
them
find
their
way
around.They
also
make
these
sounds
to
talk
to
each
other
and
to
help
them
find
food.We
now
know
they
do
not
use
their
ears
to
receive
these
sounds,but
the
lower
part
of
the
mouth,called
the
jaw.
Strangely,dolphins
seem
to
like
man,and
for
thousands
of
years
there
have
been
stories
about
the
dolphin
and
its
friendship
with
people.There
is
a
story
about
sailors
in
the
19th
century.In
a
dangerous
part
of
the
sea
off
the
coast
of
New
Zealand,they
learnt
to
look
for
a
dolphin
called
Jack.From
1871
to
1903
Jack
met
every
boat
in
the
area
and
showed
it
the
way.Then
in
1903
a
passenger
on
a
boat
called
the
Penguin
shot
and
wounded
Jack.He
recovered
and
for
nine
years
more
continued
to
guide
all
ships
through
the
area—except
for
the
Penguin.
Today,some
people
continue
to
kill
dolphins,but
many
countries
of
the
world
now
protect
them
and
in
these
places
it
is
against
the
law
to
kill
them.
21.Dolphins
are
different
from
many
other

B
The
oddness
of
life
in
space
never
quite
goes
away.Here
are
some
examples.
First
consider
something
as
simple
as
sleep.Its
position
presents
its
own
challenges.The
main
question
is
whether
you
want
your
arms
inside
or
outside
the
sleeping
bag.If
you
leave
your
arms
out,they
float
free
in
zero
gravity,often
giving
a
sleeping
astronaut
the
look
of
a
funny
ballet
dancer.“I’m
an
inside
guy,”Mike
Hopkins
says,who
returned
from
a
six-month
tour
on
the
International
Space
Station.“I
like
to
be
wrapped
up.”
On
the
station,the
ordinary
things
become
strange.The
exercise
bike
for
the
American
astronauts
has
no
handlebars.It
also
has
no
seat.With
no
gravity,it’s
just
as
easy
to
pedal
violently.You
can
watch
a
movie
while
you
pedal
by
floating
a
microcomputer
anywhere
you
want.But
station
residents
have
to
be
careful
about
staying
in
one
place
too
long.Without
gravity
to
help
circulate
air,the
carbon
dioxide
you
exhale(呼气)
has
a
tendency
to
form
an
invisible(隐形的)cloud
around
your
head.You
can
end
up
with
what
astronauts
call
a
carbon-dioxide
headache.
Leroy
Chiao,54,
an
American
retired
astronaut
after
four
flights,describes
what
happens
even
before
you
float
out
of
your
seat.“Your
inner
ear
thinks
you’re
falling.Meanwhile
your
eyes
are
telling
you
you’re
standing
straight.That
can
be
annoying
—
that’s
why
some
people
feel
sick.”
Within
a
couple
of
days
—
truly
terrible
days
for
some
—
astronauts’
brains
learn
to
ignore
the
panicky
signals
from
the
inner
ear,and
space
sickness
disappears.
Space
travel
can
be
so
delightful
but
at
the
same
time
invisibly
dangerous.For
instance,astronauts
lose
bone
mass.That’s
why
exercise
is
considered
so
vital
that
National
Aeronautics
and
Space
Administration(NASA)
puts
it
right
on
the
workday
schedule.The
focus
on
fitness
is
as
much
about
science
and
the
future
as
it
is
about
keeping
any
individual
astronaut
healthy.NASA
is
worried
about
two
things:recovery
time
once
astronauts
return
home,and,more
importantly,how
to
maintain
strength
and
fitness
for
the
two
and
a
half
years
or
more
that
it
would
take
to
make
a
round-trip
to
Mars.
24.What
is
the
major
challenge
to
astronauts
when
they
sleep
in
space?
A.Deciding
on
a
proper
sleep
position.
B.Choosing
a
comfortable
sleeping
bag.
C.Seeking
a
way
to
fall
asleep
quickly.
D.Finding
a
right
time
to
go
to
sleep.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句和第三句可知,在太空中睡觉远不像是在陆地上那么简单,睡觉的姿势本身就是一个挑战,最主要的问题是你的胳膊放在睡袋的什么位置。故选A项。
25.The
astronauts
will
suffer
from
a
carbon-dioxide
headache
when
.?
A.they
circle
around
on
their
bikes
B.they
use
microcomputers
without
a
stop
C.they
exercise
in
one
place
for
a
long
time
D.they
watch
a
movie
while
pedaling
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后三句可知,在太空空气不流通,呼出的二氧化碳会在头部形成隐形的云雾,最终使宇航员感到头痛,因此不能在一个地方待太久。故选C项。
26.Some
astronauts
feel
sick
on
the
station
during
the
first
few
days
because
.?
A.their
senses
stop
working
B.they
have
to
stand
up
straight
C.they
float
out
of
their
seats
unexpectedly
D.their
brains
receive
contradictory
messages
答案D
解析推理判断题。根据文章第四段内容可知,“在太空站,你的耳朵可能认为你在跌倒,但你的眼睛却告诉你,你站得笔挺。”因此他们的大脑获得的信息是相互矛盾的。故选D项。
27.One
of
NASA’s
major
concerns
about
astronauts
is
.?
A.how
much
exercise
they
do
on
the
station
B.how
they
can
remain
healthy
for
long
in
space
C.whether
they
can
recover
after
returning
home
D.whether
they
are
able
to
go
back
to
the
station
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的“Thefocusonfitnessisasmuchaboutscienceandthefutureasitisaboutkeepinganyindividualastronauthealthy.”可知,宇航员的身体状况是美国国家航空航天局关心的问题之一。故选B项。
C
Ever
since
Grumpy
Cat
first
appeared
online,the
Internet
can’t
get
enough
of
her.But
attention
is
not
the
only
thing
that
this
cat
is
getting.Her
fortune
is
estimated
at
$100
million,more
than
many
famous
actors
and
musicians
earn.?
So
how
did
it
all
start?
Grumpy
Cat’s
owner
Tabatha
Bundesen
was
working
as
a
waitress
when
her
brother
Bryan
decided
to
take
a
photo
of
her
funny-looking
cat
and
post
it
on
a
social
news
site.In
a
matter
of
hours,she
became
a
sensation(轰动).
It
got
1
million
views
on
the
Internet
in
48
hours.
Grumpy
Cat’s
real
name
is
Tardar
Sauce
and
she
actually
has
a
condition
called
dwarfism,which
makes
her
constantly
frowning.But
that
unique
frown
turned
out
to
be
worth
millions
of
dollars.
Tabatha,who
lives
in
Arizona
in
the
US,isn’t
complaining.She
still
remembers
that
September
22,2012,when
her
life
turned
upside
down.
Since
her
cat
became
a
worldwide
phenomenon,she
was
able
to
quit
her
job
and
devote
her
life
to
managing
her
cat’s
modeling
career.Sounds
unbelievable,but
it’s
true.She
says
that
her
only
job
now
is
to
book
Tardar’s
photo
shoots,commercials(商业广告),and
other
appearances.
What
are
the
other
benefits
of
owning
a
million-dollar
cat?
Apart
from
not
having
to
work,Tabatha
can
travel
all
the
time.She
has
time
and
money
to
visit
her
family
more
often
and
enjoy
her
life.She
never
could
have
imagined
just
how
huge
her
cat
would
become,but
she
always
knew
Tardar
was
very
special.And
she
is
glad
to
see
her
cat
bringing
joy
to
so
many
people
around
the
world.
As
for
the
millions
of
dollars
Tardar
has
earned,they
come
from
all
the
products,commercials
and
a
best-selling
book.She
even
has
her
own
movie
GrumpyCat’sWorstChristmasEver.
28.What
does
the
underlined
part
“the
Internet
can’t
get
enough
of
her”
mean?
A.The
Internet
can’t
stand
her
any
more.
B.The
Internet
can’t
pay
more
attention
to
her.
C.People
don’t
focus
on
her
any
longer
on
the
Internet.
D.The
Internet
can’t
find
enough
information
about
her.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据“Butattentionisnottheonlythingthatthiscatisgetting”可知,这只猫得到的不仅仅是关注。由此可推断出,“theInternetcan’tgetenoughofher”的意思为:这只猫在网络上得到了很大的关注。故选B项。
29.What
made
Grumpy
Cat
become
famous?
A.Her
unusual
appearance.
B.Her
bad
temper.
C.Her
short
and
fat
body.
D.Her
unique
fur.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第三段中的“takeaphotoofherfunny-lookingcat”和第五段中的“whichmakesherconstantlyfrowning.Butthatuniquefrown”可知,是这只猫特别的长相使她出名了。故选A项。

A.she
now
works
as
a
waitress
B.she
feels
very
tired

go
home
to

her
parents
答案C
解析细节理解题。根据第七段第一句中的“shewasabletoquitherjobanddevoteherlifetomanaginghercat’smodelingcareer”可知,选C项。

D
A
pair
of
South
Carolina
fishermen
shared
a
photo
of
a
large
16-foot
great
white
shark
they
hooked
minutes
after
catching
a
10-foot
shark
in
the
river.The
photo
posted
to
Facebook
by
Hilton
Head-based
Outcast
Sport
Fishing
shows
charter
Capt.Chip
Michalove
and
a
friend
with
the
3,000-pound
shark
they
hooked.
Michalove
said
he
and
his
friend
were
out
alone
on
the
boat
and
they
had
initially
hooked
a
10-foot
shark,but
the
predator
managed
to
spit
the
hook
out
and
swim
away.“The
next
thing
that
happened
is
something
I’ve
never
seen
with
a
great
white
shark,”
Michalove
wrote
in
the
Facebook
post.“In
less
than
10
minutes
after
losing
the
10-foot
shark,we
connect
to
a
behemoth,an
entirely
different
shark.”?
Michalove
said
he
and
his
friend
soon
discovered
they
were
outmatched
by
the
16-footer,so
they
radioed
for
help
and
soon
another
fisherman
and
his
daughter
soon
joined
them
on
the
boat.“I
couldn’t
believe
it.It
was
like
the
two
sharks
were
travelling
close
to
each
other,”
Michalove
told
the
Hilton
Head
Island
Packet.“I’ve
hooked
some
in
one
day
before,but
they’re
usually
hours
apart.”
He
said
the
female
shark
was
calm
when
they
put
her
in
next
to
the
boat.“She
just
pulled
up
aside
the
boat
and
wanted
to
keep
swimming,”
Michalove
said.“This
one
was
just
very
large.She
was
so
big,so
we
had
to
call
for
help.”
He
said
the
shark
was
released
without
incident.“Her
tail
never
quit
wagging,and
with
zero
panic,like
she
was
out
for
a
stroll
with
the
kids,”
he
wrote.

ShoweringHelpsBrain
People
get
relaxation
from
various
kinds
of
activities.For
example,people
can
relax
themselves
by
driving
around,listening
to
light
music,staring
at
green
plants
or
just
staring
at
the
clouds
in
the
sky.Taking
a
shower
is
relaxing.When
showering,you
can
sing
a
song,daydream
or
think
about
nothing,leaving
the
real
world
behind
you. 36 ?
A
piece
of
research
made
by
Scott
Barry
Kaufman,a
psychologist
from
Yale
University
in
the
US
interviewed
over
3,000
people
around
the
world. 37
They
said
they
were
more
likely
to
have
new
ideas
in
the
shower
than
at
work.?
38
Science
explains
the
reasons
as
follows.?
First,showering
can
help
to
raise
our
level
of
dopamine(多巴胺),a
hormone(荷尔蒙)
closely
related
to
our
creativity.People
vary
in
their
level
of
creativity
according
to
the
activity
of
dopamine
and
taking
a
warm
shower
can
make
us
feel
relaxed
and
therefore
make
the
dopamine
level
rise
and
bring
the
burst
of
an
inspiration
to
us.Besides
the
chemical
changes,showering
may
give
you
a
break
mentally
from
what
may
confuse
you
all
the
time.Especially
when
you
have
thought
hard
all
day
about
a
problem,jumping
into
the
shower
can
keep
you
away
from
the
outside
world. 39
As
a
result,a
showering
hour
may
turn
into
an
incubation(孵化)
period
for
your
ideas.?
Compared
with
sitting
in
front
of
a
computer,taking
a
shower
can
also
give
you
a
fresh
experience
with
the
change
of
location,temperature
and
humidity(湿度). 40
Probably
these
changes
make
you
think
from
a
new
point
of
view.?
Showering
allows
us
to
enjoy
the
creative
juices
of
our
minds,so
just
have
a
try!
A.Taking
a
shower
can
also
make
you
feel
more
energetic.
B.But
do
you
know
that
showering
can
benefit
your
brain
as
well?
C.This
is
a
perfect
way
for
you
to
stay
active
and
creative
both
mentally
and
physically.
D.New
and
unexpected
experiences
can
lead
to
positive
changes
in
thinking.
E.Without
the
outer
disturbance,you
can
focus
on
your
inner
feelings
and
memories.
F.So
why
does
a
simple
shower
have
such
magic
power?
G.It
turned
out
that
nearly
two
thirds
of
interviewees
had
experienced
new
ideas
in
their
minds
during
the
shower.

A
man
was
exploring
caves
by
the
seashore.In
one
of
the
caves,he
41
a
canvas(帆布)bag
with
a
bunch
of
hardened
clay
balls.It
was
like
42
had
rolled
clay
balls
and
left
them
out
in
the
43
to
bake.?
They
didn’t
look
like
much,but
they
44
the
man,so
he
took
the
bag
out
of
the
cave
with
him.As
he
walked
along
the
45 ,he
would
throw
the
clay
balls
one
at
a
time
out
into
the
ocean
as
46
as
he
could.?
He
thought
little
about
it, 47
he
dropped
one
of
the
clay
balls
and
it
cracked
open
on
a
rock.Inside
was
a
beautiful, 48
stone!
?
49 ,the
man
started
breaking
open
the
remaining
clay
balls.Each
50
a
similar
treasure.He
found
thousands
of
dollars’
worth
of
jewels
in
the
20
or
so
clay
balls
he
had
51 .?
Then
it
52
him.He
had
been
on
the
beach
for
a
long
time.He
had
thrown
maybe
50
or
60
of
the
clay
balls,with
their
hidden
treasure
into
the
ocean
waves. 53
thousands
of
dollars
in
treasure,he
could
have
taken
home
tens
of
thousands, 54
he
had
just
thrown
it
away!?
It’s
like
that
with
55 .We
look
at
someone,maybe
even
ourselves.It
doesn’t
look
like
much
from
the
outside.It
isn’t
always
beautiful
or
sparkling,so
we
56
it.We
see
that
person
as
less
57
than
someone
more
beautiful
or
stylish
or
well-known
or
wealthy.But
we
have
not
58
the
time
to
find
the
treasure
hidden
inside
that
person.?
There
is
a
59
in
each
and
every
one
of
us.If
we
take
the
time
to
get
to
know
that
person,then
the
clay
begins
to
60 .Sooner
or
later,the
bright
stone
begins
to
shine
forth.?
41.A.made B.carried C.searched
D.found
答案D
解析他在一个洞穴里发现了(found)一个帆布袋子。
42.A.anyone
B.someone
C.no
one
D.everyone
答案B
解析像是有人(someone)制作的泥球。根据语境可知此处不能用“任何人”或“每一个人”之意;而noone的意思和语境不符。
43.A.light
B.shade
C.sun
D.sand
答案C
解析句中bake的意思是“烤,烘”,联系这个意思可知应该是将泥球放在阳光(sun)下。light“光线”;shade“阴影”;sand“沙子”。
44.A.interested
B.disturbed
C.disappointed
D.satisfied
答案A
解析它们看上去没有什么,但是却引起了这个人的兴趣。“打扰”“使失望”或“使满意”都不符合语境。
45.A.wall
B.beach
C.street
D.road
答案B
解析根据文章首句可知,他是在沿着沙滩(beach)走。
46.A.long
B.high
C.deep
D.far
答案D
解析前面提到他往海里扔泥球,由此可知,他想尽可能地扔远(far)一些。
47.A.before
B.after
C.until
D.while
答案C
解析他几乎什么也没考虑,直到(until)其中的一个泥球在岩石上摔破了。
48.A.precious
B.special
C.common
D.expensive
答案A
解析文中多次提到treasure等相关信息,所以此处指“贵重的宝石”。很明显,选项中special和common在这里不合适,而语境中也不是强调价格,故D项也不对。
49.A.Surprised
B.Puzzled
C.Worried
D.Excited
答案D
解析看到泥球里面的宝石,他当然是很兴奋(excited)。surprised“吃惊的”;puzzled“疑惑不解的”;worried“担心的”。
50.A.covered
B.buried
C.contained
D.followed
答案C
解析联系上一段中的“hedroppedoneoftheclayballsanditcrackedopenonarock”可知,泥球里包有(contained)宝石。“覆盖”“埋藏”或“跟随”都不符合语境。
51.A.invented
B.left
C.accepted
D.kept
答案B
解析根据上文中的theremainingclayballs等信息,可知这里指他剩下的(left)泥球。invent“发明”;accept“接受”;keep“保存”。
52.A.struck
B.changed
C.reminded
D.borrowed
答案A
解析然后他猛地意识到了(struck)。
53.A.Except
for
B.According
to
C.Judging
from
D.Instead
of
答案D
解析不是(insteadof)数千美元的珠宝,而是会有数万美元的珠宝带回家。exceptfor“除了”;accordingto“根据”;judgingfrom“由……判断”。
54.A.so
B.and
C.but
D.or
答案C
解析根据上下文的语境可知,此处是转折意义。而so表示因果关系;and表示并列关系;or表示选择关系。
55.A.life
B.people
C.work
D.study
答案B
解析根据下文中的someone等信息可知,这里说的是“人们也像这个样子”。
56.A.ignore
B.enjoy
C.destroy
D.love
答案A
解析一些人的外在并不总是美丽或闪光的,所以我们忽略(ignore)了。
57.A.clever
B.dangerous
C.funny
D.important
答案D
解析美丽的、时髦的、出名的、富有的人往往在我们的心目中更重要(important)。
58.A.wasted
B.shared
C.taken
D.passed
答案C
解析但是我们没有花费(take)时间去发现藏在那个人内心的宝藏。
59.A.present
B.treasure
C.habit
D.history
答案B
解析结合上文中的“Butwehavenot thetimetofindthetreasurehiddeninsidethatperson.”等信息可知,此处指藏在人们内心的宝藏(treasure)。present“礼物”;habit“习惯”;history“历史”。?
60.A.come
off
B.dry
up
C.move
on
D.give
in
答案A
解析如果我们花时间去了解那个人,外在的“泥土”就会慢慢脱落(comeoff),内心的“宝藏”开始发光。

For
ages,sailors
have
said
that
it
is
a
good
luck
to
see
dolphins
swum
alongside
boats.Their
presence
meant
that
land
is
near,which
will
be
vital
informations
if
a
boat
and
her
crew
are
in
danger.Some
dolphins
have
even
protected
sailors
which
suffer
shipwreck
from
sharks.There
is
no
wonder
that
these
unique
and
fascinating
creatures
have
long
known
as
our
friends.
Dolphins
are
thought
to
be
intelligent
animals
because
of
its
quick
ability
to
learn.They
seem
to
communicate
with
each
other
through
a
combination
of
whistles
and
clicks.While
scientists
don’t
know
exact
what
they
are
talking
about,it
is
thought
that
dolphins
are
telling
each
other
that
food
is
nearby,or
warning
each
other
of
approaching
dangerous.
答案第一句:去掉a;swum→swimming
第二句:meant→means;informations→information

三、阅读理解
The
Coral
Sea
is
home
to
an
amazing
variety
of
turtles,sharks,whales,dolphins,large
fish,birds,corals,plants,and
many
other
species.Many
of
these
species
are
endangered
elsewhere
in
the
world,but
still
survive
in
the
healthy
environment
of
the
Coral
Sea.
The
Coral
Sea
is
a
large
series
of
coral
reefs
located
off
the
northeast
coast
of
Australia.This
area
is
three
times
larger
than
Australia’s
famous
Great
Barrier
Reef,which
the
Coral
Sea
borders.
The
Coral
Sea
is
one
of
the
few
coral
reef
environments
that
have
remained
largely
undamaged
by
overfishing,oil
and
gas
exploration
and
pollution.However,statistics
show
that
coral
reefs
around
the
world
are
disappearing
five
times
faster
than
rainforests.It
is
very
likely
that
in
the
near
future
the
Coral
Sea
will
face
the
same
threats
to
its
existence.
The
Australian
government
is
currently
looking
at
options
for
protecting
the
Coral
Sea
but
has
made
no
decisions.Environmentalists
are
pushing
for
laws
to
declare
the
Coral
Sea
area
a
marine
protected
area.This
would
mean
a
large
“no-take
zone”
for
fishermen,a
no-exploration
zone
for
gas
and
oil
companies
and
a
no-dump
zone
for
pollution.This
would
make
the
Coral
Sea
a
marine
park
larger
than
any
in
the
world.
We
can
write
letters
to
Australian
leaders,Australian
environmental
protection
agencies,and
Australian
friends,to
let
them
know
that
people
worldwide
support
this
protection
of
the
Coral
Sea.To
lose
this
last
great
marine
wildness
would
be
a
loss
for
the
whole
world.
1.What
is
the
author’s
purpose
in
writing
this
passage?
A.To
teach
people
how
to
protect
the
Coral
Sea.
B.To
call
for
the
public
awareness
to
protect
the
Coral
Sea.
C.To
show
the
amazing
features
of
the
Coral
Sea.
D.To
explain
the
function
of
the
Coral
Sea.
答案B
解析写作意图题。根据倒数第二段可知,该文旨在提高公众保护珊瑚海的意识。
2.What
is
the
main
important
reason
for
protecting
the
Coral
Sea?
A.The
Coral
Sea,home
to
many
species,will
disappear
soon.
B.The
Coral
Sea
is
rich
in
oil
and
gas.
C.The
Coral
Sea
is
three
times
larger
than
Great
Barrier
Reef.
D.The
Coral
Sea
will
be
a
marine
park
larger
than
any
in
the
world.
答案A
解析细节理解题。根据第一段第一句及第三段的最后两句可知,拥有许多物种的珊瑚海很快会消失,因此它需要保护。
3.Which
of
the
following
is
not
mentioned
in
the
passage?
A.The
reason
for
protecting
the
Coral
Sea.
B.The
way
to
protect
the
Coral
Sea.
C.The
location
of
the
Coral
Sea.
D.The
money-raising
for
saving
the
Coral
Sea.
答案D
解析细节理解题。保护珊瑚海的原因、方案及珊瑚海的位置文中均有提及,但没有提到为拯救珊瑚海筹集资金。

of
cloth
to

face
in
the
water
and
kicked
and
splashed
himself
13
as
fast
as
he
could.The
shore
was
near
now.?
He
lifted
his
head
again
to

and
he
saw
the
shore
very
near.From
behind
he
left
the
water
rush
towards
him,almost
pushing
him,helping
him.And
then
a
great
grey
body
hit
him
and
almost
rolled
him
over
in
the
water.He
touched
the
shore
with

and
he
pulled
himself
up
the
stones.The

of
blood
and
the
chase(追逐),went
wildly
after

body
crashed
against

D.smell
答案D
解析根据常识,鲨鱼可以闻到血腥味,故填smell。
5.A.sand
B.shark
C.flesh
D.meat
答案C
解析佩里将刀子割进肉里以便流出一些血,排除A、B两项;meat为动物的肉的总称,flesh可以指人的肉体,故选C项。

解析血流得足够多时,佩里给自己止血。
