A
I’ve spent over a year in India,and in those 365 plus days,I’ve learned a lot about getting around Indian cities.My biggest lessons have been learned through being cheated,particularly by taxi and rickshaw(人力车) drivers,but that doesn’t mean those are bad ways to travel,as long as you know what you’re doing.Below are the best ways to get around the city of Delhi,India,and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams(欺诈).
Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are,if you arrive in Delhi by plane,as soon as you make it through customs,you’ll be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers.At the Delhi airport,be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths.One is inside the airport,and the other is outside.The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police,rather than by independent taxi drivers.
Rickshaws are one of my favourite ways to get around Indian cities,in part because it’s how the locals often travel.Auto-rickshaws are more common,but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi.If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw,you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees.Auto-rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees,depending on the distance.
If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals,take a public bus.Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning.They are,however,very cheap.A bus trip won’t set you back any more than 15 rupees,as long as you stay within the city limits.Since Indian buses get so crowded,try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.
The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi.Fares are reasonable,between 6 and 22 rupees.All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English,and tokens can be purchased for between 6 and 22 rupees.
6.The author is trying to in Delhi through this text.?
A.give some advice of travelling B.expect us to travel around
C.show his/her experiences D.explain the difficulties of travelling
7.To avoid being cheated,you ought to if you want to take a taxi at the Delhi airport.?
A.pay more to the drivers to keep safe B.show your ticket to the driver
C.go to a police-run booth D.go out of the airport
8.The author suggests taking a rickshaw in order to .?
A.save some money B.enjoy the comfortable trip
C.gain a unique experience D.help the local rickshaw drivers
9.What can we infer from the passage?
A.You won’t have to pay much if you travel around by bus in India.
B.It will be difficult for you to get a seat if you get on the bus halfway.
C.A rickshaw driver only charges whatever amount you give him.
D.You’ll have to speak English if you travel around in India.
10.Which may be the topic that follows?
A.Hotel recommendations in Delhi B.Weather conditions in Delhi
C.Food and drink in Delhi D.Car rentals in Delhi
B
A thief who dropped a winning lottery ticket at the scene of his crime has been given a lesson in honesty.His victim,who picked up the ticket and then claimed the $25,000 prize,managed to trace him,and handed over the cash.The robbery happened when maths professor Vinicio Sabbatucci,58,was changing a tire on an Italian motorway.Another motorist,who stopped “to help”,stole a suitcase from his car and drove off.The professor found the dropped ticket and put it in his pocket before driving home to Ascoli in eastern Italy.
Next day,he saw the lottery results on TV and,taking out the ticket,realized it was a winner.He claimed the 60 million lire(里拉) prize.Then he began a battle with his conscience.Finally,he decided he could not keep the money despite having been robbed.He advertised in newspapers and on the radio,saying,“I’m trying to find the man who robbed me.I have 60 million lire for him—a lottery win.Please meet me.Anonymity(匿名) guaranteed.”
Professor Sabbatucci received hundreds of calls from people hoping to trick him into handing them the cash.But there was one voice he recognized and he arranged to meet the man in a park.The robber,a 35-year-old unemployed father of two,gave back the suitcase and burst into tears.He could not believe what was happening.“Why didn’t you keep the money?”he asked.The professor replied,“I couldn’t because it’s not mine.”Then he walked off,spurning the thief’s offer of a reward.
11.The underlined sentence “Then he began a battle with his conscience.” in Paragraph 2 implies all of the following except that .?
A.he knew what he should do as soon as he saw the lottery results

That the Leaning Tower of Pisa no longer leans quite so much after a ￡20 million project to save it has proved to be a great success.The tower,which was on the edge of collapse,has been straightened by 18 inches,returning it to its 1838 position.
“It has straightened a little bit more than we expected,but very little helps,”said Prof.John Burland,the only British member of the rescue committee.“The tower is still very slightly moving towards being upright.”
The tower,which has been leaning almost since building work first began in 1173,was closed to the public in 1990 because of safety fears.The 183-foot tower was nearly 15 feet off vertical and its structure was found to have been weakened by centuries of strain(作用力).
Prof.Burland said it could have collapsed “at any moment”.However,it took nine years of quarrelling before any work was done.The last attempt at straightening the tower was carried out.Concrete(混凝土) was poured into the foundations,but the result was that the tower sank further into the soil.
The straightening work involved digging out around 70 tonnes of earth from the northern side of the tower,causing it to sink on that side.Before the digging started,the tower was fixed with steel ropes and 600 tonnes of lead weights.
However,halfway through the project,concerns at the ugliness of the lead weights led to their removal and the tower leaned greatly.The weights were hurriedly reattached.One night,the tower moved more than it had averaged in an entire year.The tower’s stonework has also been restored.
The Italian government stepped in after a tower collapsed in Pavia in 1989,killing four people.Experts suddenly realized that the tower at Pisa,which was similarly built and on the same sort of earth,could do the same.
16.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.The Building of the Leaning Tower of Pisa
B.Saving the Leaning Tower of Pisa
C.The Collapse of the Leaning Tower of Pisa
D.The History of the Leaning Tower of Pisa
17.According to the passage,the Leaning Tower of Pisa .?
A.closed for the straightening work in 1990
B.began to lean more than 800 years ago
C.has a history of more than 1,000 years
D.has become vertical
18.What drove the Italian government to save the Leaning Tower of Pisa?
A.The development of new technology. B.The advice of Prof.John Burland.
C.The expectation of the rescue committee. D.The collapse of a tower in Pavia.
19.What most probably played the most important part in straightening the tower?
A.The lead weights fixed to the tower.
B.Restoring the stonework.
C.Pouring concrete into the foundations.
D.Digging earth from the southern side of the tower.
20.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.The position of the tower has been restored to what it was 182 years ago.
B.Hundreds of years of strain has weakened the tower’s structure.
C.The tower doesn’t lean any more after the straightening work finished.
D.People spent nine years in discussing about the straightening work.

第二部分 阅读理解
语篇解读:本文作者就自己在印度德里旅行时的交通方面提出了几点建议。
6.A 写作目的题。通读全文,我们可以看出,作者在本文中给读者提出了一些建议,告诉读者在德里旅行时应注意的一些问题。因此,本文的写作目的也就是要给读者提出建议。故选A。
7.C 细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police,rather than by independent taxi drivers.可知,在机场搭乘出租车时,应到警察经营的摊位。故选C。
8.C 细节理解题。根据第三段的第三句If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw,you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees.可知,作者建议乘坐人力车以获得一种独特的体验。故选C。
9.B 推理判断题。根据第四段的最后一句Since Indian buses get so crowded,try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.可知,为了上车后能有一个座位,作者建议最好从起点站上车。这就意味着如果中途上车的话,就很难有座位了。故选B。
10.D 推理判断题。由本文第一段的最后一句可知,本文主要讲述了关于在德里交通方面避免受骗的几点建议。在给出的几个选项当中,只有D项与交通有关。据此,我们可以确定后面最有可能要讨论的是汽车租赁业务。故选D。
语篇解读:这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位被抢劫的教授意外地捡到了抢劫犯丢失的彩票。随后,教授发现该彩票为中奖彩票,教授最终通过媒体找到了这位抢劫犯,并归还了用彩票兑换的奖金。
11.A 推理判断题。由第二段内容可知,得知该彩票为中奖彩票后,教授的内心很矛盾,再结合下文中的“Finally,he decided he could not keep the money despite having been robbed.”可推断出应选A项。
12.B 细节理解题。由最后一段第一句“Professor Sabbatucci received hundreds of calls from people hoping to trick him into handing them the crash.”可知,数百人给教授打电话是想要得到这笔钱。故选B。
13.D 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“He could not believe what was happening.”可知,得知受害者想要找到他时,那位抢劫犯对所发生的事“难以置信”。故选D。
14.C 词义猜测题。由上文中的“The professor replied,‘I couldn’t because it’s not mine.’”可以推断出,教授“拒绝”接受那个抢劫犯给他的酬金。故此处spurning的意义和rejecting相近。故选C。
15.A 标题归纳题。该文讲述了一个抢劫犯在抢劫一位教授时把一张最终获奖的彩票丢下了,而捡到彩票的教授设法找到了这位抢劫犯,并归还了所有用彩票兑奖得到的现金。故该抢劫犯是幸运的,以A项作为标题更为准确。
语篇解读:本文主要讲述了比萨斜塔的倾斜历史及政府为此做出的努力。
16.B 标题归纳题。文章第一段就提到“...has proved to be a great success.”,并且下文也是围绕拯救比萨斜塔进行阐述的。故选B。
17.B 细节理解题。第三段第一句提到比萨斜塔自1173年建立(至今已有800多年的历史)时就开始倾斜。故选B。
18.D 细节理解题。文章最后一段提到“The Italian government stepped in after a tower collapsed in Pavia in 1989...”,说明正是另一个地方的塔的倒塌才使意大利政府意识到拯救比萨斜塔的迫切性。故选D。
19.A 推理判断题。文章第六段提到把lead weights移走后,导致塔又有很大的倾斜,这正说明lead weights所起的作用。故选A。
20.C 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“...no longer leans quite so much...”可知C项与文章内容不符。故选C。
第三部分 完形填空
语篇解读:本文讲了读书的几点好处。
21.D 由后面的定语从句“you can pretend to live in for a little while”可知,这里是把书比喻成另一个“世界”(world)。
22.A 通过读书可以“看看”(look)别人的生活和问题。
23.B 此处说的是读书时的动作,应该是手里“拿着”(hold)书。
24.C 本段第一句“Reading books can be an escape.”告诉我们,读书能让人“逃离”现实,因此选择escape。
25.A 由后面的or future可知,此处所选词汇和future相对,因此选择past,指无论过去还是将来。
26.D 由下一句“Fiction or non-fiction,both have something to teach.”可知,这里说的是你可以从书中“学到”(learn)东西。
27.A 写实作品为你“提供”(offer)事实。第三段最后一句中的“Fiction books...can offer...”是提示。
28.B 书中包含的应该是“信息”(information)。
29.C 根据本段接下来的内容可推知,此处应该是说读书是一种很好的放松(relax)方式。
30.B 由下文just picking up a book可知,读书不需要人为之付出太多努力(effort)。
31.C 前面讲述了读书的好处,下面也是要说读书的好处,因此Besides(另外)符合题意。
32.C 由该空后面的两句话可知,这里指的是读书不受空间和“时间”(time)的限制。
33.A 此处指如果你想休息五分钟,读书将会很“有效”(work)。
34.C 本句跟上一句并列。如果你要休息一个小时,读书(read)也同样起作用。
35.B 总结全文可知,此处是在号召我们“拿起”(Pick)书来读。
第四部分 语法填空
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,文章介绍了现在青少年崇尚西方节日的现象,呼吁我们要行动起来保护传统文化。
36.growing 考查形容词。句意:随着西方文化的迅速传播,越来越多的中国人喜欢西方节日而不喜欢中国传统节日。 此处修饰名词number,指“越来越多的数量”,应用形容词 growing作定语。故填growing。
37.comes 考查时态和主谓一致。句意:当圣诞节或情人节来临时,年轻人会涌入酒吧、餐馆或百货商店庆祝这些节日。此处when引导的时间状语从句中,主句是一般将来时will flood into...,从句用一般现在时表示将来的动作,come用一般现在时;or连接两个并列主语Christmas和Valentine’s Day,谓语动词根据就近原则,谓语动词的人称和数与Valentine’s Day 保持一致,应用第三人称单数,故填comes。
38.are identified 考查时态和语态。句意:这种社会现象背后的原因是显而易见的:在一个受大众媒体和消费主义控制的社会中,来自国外的节日和假日被认为是时尚的和新颖的,而传统的节日通常被认为是过时的和老旧的。短语identify...as 意思为“确认……为,把……看成”;主语 festivals and holidays 和动词 identify 是被动关系,应用被动形式be identified as“被认为是……,被看成是……”;全文时态用一般现在时,主语festivals and holidays是复数,故填are identified。
39.especially 考查副词。句意:世界各地的年轻人都把西方的生活方式,特别是好莱坞电影中的生活,作为他们的生活目标。 此处作状语,表示程度,用副词,故填 especially。
40.as 考查介词。句意:世界各地的年轻人都把西方的生活方式,特别是好莱坞电影中的生活,作为他们的生活目标。短语regard...as 意思为“把……看作”,故填as。
41.that 考查主语从句的引导词。句意:因此,难怪中国年轻人更喜爱圣诞节。句型It is no wonder that...“难怪,毫不奇怪,不足为奇”,it作形式主语,空后真正的主语从句不缺任何成分,应用that引导。故填that。
42.a 考查冠词。句意:我们应该仔细思考这种社会现象的影响。phenomenon是单数可数名词,用不定冠词a表示数量,意思为“一个,一种”;social的发音以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a。故填 a。
43.harmful 考查形容词。句意:很明显,西方节日的广泛传播和认可损害了我们的传统价值观。在be动词is后用形容词作表语;短语be harmful to“对……有害”。故填harmful。
44.measures 考查名词复数。句意:如果我们现在不采取一些措施,将来的某一天,中国的文化遗产可能对我们的孙辈来说是陌生的。measure 表示“措施”时是可数名词,前面有some,measure应用复数形式。故填measures。
45.to take 考查非谓语动词。 句意:现在是政府和所有人行动起来保护我们传统文化的时候了。此处是句型It is high time for sb.to do sth.“是某人该做某事的时候了”,take应用不定式形式。故填to take。

Professor Sabbatucci received hundreds of calls from people hoping to trick him into handing them the cash.But there was one voice he recognized and he arranged to meet the man in a park.The robber,a 35-year-old unemployed father of two,gave back the suitcase and burst into tears.He could not believe what was happening.“Why didn’t you keep the money?”he asked.The professor replied,“I couldn’t because it’s not mine.”Then he walked off,spurning the thief’s offer of a reward.

That the Leaning Tower of Pisa no longer leans quite so much after a ￡20 million project to save it has proved to be a great success.The tower,which was on the edge of collapse,has been straightened by 18 inches,returning it to its 1838 position.
“It has straightened a little bit more than we expected,but very little helps,”said Prof.John Burland,the only British member of the rescue committee.“The tower is still very slightly moving towards being upright.”
The tower,which has been leaning almost since building work first began in 1173,was closed to the public in 1990 because of safety fears.The 183-foot tower was nearly 15 feet off vertical and its structure was found to have been weakened by centuries of strain(作用力).
Prof.Burland said it could have collapsed “at any moment”.However,it took nine years of quarrelling before any work was done.The last attempt at straightening the tower was carried out.Concrete(混凝土) was poured into the foundations,but the result was that the tower sank further into the soil.
The straightening work involved digging out around 70 tonnes of earth from the northern side of the tower,causing it to sink on that side.Before the digging started,the tower was fixed with steel ropes and 600 tonnes of lead weights.
However,halfway through the project,concerns at the ugliness of the lead weights led to their removal and the tower leaned greatly.The weights were hurriedly reattached.One night,the tower moved more than it had averaged in an entire year.The tower’s stonework has also been restored.
The Italian government stepped in after a tower collapsed in Pavia in 1989,killing four people.Experts suddenly realized that the tower at Pisa,which was similarly built and on the same sort of earth,could do the same.
16.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.The Building of the Leaning Tower of Pisa
B.Saving the Leaning Tower of Pisa
C.The Collapse of the Leaning Tower of Pisa
D.The History of the Leaning Tower of Pisa
17.According to the passage,the Leaning Tower of Pisa .?
A.closed for the straightening work in 1990
B.began to lean more than 800 years ago
C.has a history of more than 1,000 years
D.has become vertical
18.What drove the Italian government to save the Leaning Tower of Pisa?
A.The development of new technology. B.The advice of Prof.John Burland.
C.The expectation of the rescue committee. D.The collapse of a tower in Pavia.
19.What most probably played the most important part in straightening the tower?
A.The lead weights fixed to the tower.
B.Restoring the stonework.
C.Pouring concrete into the foundations.
D.Digging earth from the southern side of the tower.
20.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.The position of the tower has been restored to what it was 182 years ago.
B.Hundreds of years of strain has weakened the tower’s structure.
C.The tower doesn’t lean any more after the straightening work finished.
D.People spent nine years in discussing about the straightening work.

第二部分 阅读理解
语篇解读:本文作者就自己在印度德里旅行时的交通方面提出了几点建议。
6.A 写作目的题。通读全文,我们可以看出,作者在本文中给读者提出了一些建议,告诉读者在德里旅行时应注意的一些问题。因此,本文的写作目的也就是要给读者提出建议。故选A。
7.C 细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police,rather than by independent taxi drivers.可知,在机场搭乘出租车时,应到警察经营的摊位。故选C。
8.C 细节理解题。根据第三段的第三句If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw,you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees.可知,作者建议乘坐人力车以获得一种独特的体验。故选C。
9.B 推理判断题。根据第四段的最后一句Since Indian buses get so crowded,try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.可知,为了上车后能有一个座位,作者建议最好从起点站上车。这就意味着如果中途上车的话,就很难有座位了。故选B。
10.D 推理判断题。由本文第一段的最后一句可知,本文主要讲述了关于在德里交通方面避免受骗的几点建议。在给出的几个选项当中,只有D项与交通有关。据此,我们可以确定后面最有可能要讨论的是汽车租赁业务。故选D。
语篇解读:这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位被抢劫的教授意外地捡到了抢劫犯丢失的彩票。随后,教授发现该彩票为中奖彩票,教授最终通过媒体找到了这位抢劫犯,并归还了用彩票兑换的奖金。
11.A 推理判断题。由第二段内容可知,得知该彩票为中奖彩票后,教授的内心很矛盾,再结合下文中的“Finally,he decided he could not keep the money despite having been robbed.”可推断出应选A项。
12.B 细节理解题。由最后一段第一句“Professor Sabbatucci received hundreds of calls from people hoping to trick him into handing them the crash.”可知,数百人给教授打电话是想要得到这笔钱。故选B。
13.D 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“He could not believe what was happening.”可知,得知受害者想要找到他时,那位抢劫犯对所发生的事“难以置信”。故选D。
14.C 词义猜测题。由上文中的“The professor replied,‘I couldn’t because it’s not mine.’”可以推断出,教授“拒绝”接受那个抢劫犯给他的酬金。故此处spurning的意义和rejecting相近。故选C。
15.A 标题归纳题。该文讲述了一个抢劫犯在抢劫一位教授时把一张最终获奖的彩票丢下了,而捡到彩票的教授设法找到了这位抢劫犯,并归还了所有用彩票兑奖得到的现金。故该抢劫犯是幸运的,以A项作为标题更为准确。

17.B 细节理解题。第三段第一句提到比萨斜塔自1173年建立(至今已有800多年的历史)时就开始倾斜。故选B。
18.D 细节理解题。文章最后一段提到“The Italian government stepped in after a tower collapsed in Pavia in 1989...”,说明正是另一个地方的塔的倒塌才使意大利政府意识到拯救比萨斜塔的迫切性。故选D。
19.A 推理判断题。文章第六段提到把lead weights移走后,导致塔又有很大的倾斜,这正说明lead weights所起的作用。故选A。
20.C 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“...no longer leans quite so much...”可知C项与文章内容不符。故选C。
第三部分 完形填空

23.B 此处说的是读书时的动作,应该是手里“拿着”(hold)书。
24.C 本段第一句“Reading books can be an escape.”告诉我们,读书能让人“逃离”现实,因此选择escape。

27.A 写实作品为你“提供”(offer)事实。第三段最后一句中的“Fiction books...can offer...”是提示。
28.B 书中包含的应该是“信息”(information)。

30.B 由下文just picking up a book可知,读书不需要人为之付出太多努力(effort)。

32.C 由该空后面的两句话可知,这里指的是读书不受空间和“时间”(time)的限制。
33.A 此处指如果你想休息五分钟,读书将会很“有效”(work)。
34.C 本句跟上一句并列。如果你要休息一个小时,读书(read)也同样起作用。

第四部分 语法填空
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,文章介绍了现在青少年崇尚西方节日的现象,呼吁我们要行动起来保护传统文化。
36.growing 考查形容词。句意:随着西方文化的迅速传播,越来越多的中国人喜欢西方节日而不喜欢中国传统节日。 此处修饰名词number,指“越来越多的数量”,应用形容词 growing作定语。故填growing。

40.as 考查介词。句意:世界各地的年轻人都把西方的生活方式,特别是好莱坞电影中的生活,作为他们的生活目标。短语regard...as 意思为“把……看作”,故填as。
41.that 考查主语从句的引导词。句意:因此,难怪中国年轻人更喜爱圣诞节。句型It is no wonder that...“难怪,毫不奇怪,不足为奇”,it作形式主语,空后真正的主语从句不缺任何成分,应用that引导。故填that。
42.a 考查冠词。句意:我们应该仔细思考这种社会现象的影响。phenomenon是单数可数名词,用不定冠词a表示数量,意思为“一个,一种”;social的发音以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a。故填 a。
43.harmful 考查形容词。句意:很明显,西方节日的广泛传播和认可损害了我们的传统价值观。在be动词is后用形容词作表语;短语be harmful to“对……有害”。故填harmful。
44.measures 考查名词复数。句意:如果我们现在不采取一些措施,将来的某一天,中国的文化遗产可能对我们的孙辈来说是陌生的。measure 表示“措施”时是可数名词,前面有some,measure应用复数形式。故填measures。
45.to take 考查非谓语动词。 句意:现在是政府和所有人行动起来保护我们传统文化的时候了。此处是句型It is high time for sb.to do sth.“是某人该做某事的时候了”,take应用不定式形式。故填to take。
