Unexplained
Mysteries

the
Natural
World
Ⅰ.阅读理解
For
centuries,
men
at
sea
have
told
stories
about
their
experiences
of
seeing
sea
monsters
like
sea
snakes
and
big
whales.These
stories
are
often
considered
as
folk
tales
(民间传说)
rather
than
real
experiences.However，the
large
number
of
sightings
and
the
use
of
modern
technology
are
changing
this
attitude,
making
us
wonder
if
those
men
were
telling
real
experiences.
The
following
are
some
of
the
most
well?known
cases
about
sea
monsters
living
in
the
oceans.On
August
6,1848，in
the
Atlantic
Ocean,
seven
men
reported
that
they
saw
a
creature
about
60
feet
long.The
creature's
body
was
dark
brown
in
color
except
for
its
white
throat
area.The
creature
was
swimming
at
a
speed
of
15
miles
per
hour
with
its
head
above
the
water.
In
1961,
Mrs
Stoudt
and
her
sister
were
walking
with
their
children
along
a
strait
in
Washington,
DC
when
they
saw
something
like
a
tree
branch
in
the
water.As
the
object
moved
closer
to
them,
they
saw
a
creature，which
had
a
snake?like
head
and
3
humps(峰)．They
said
it
looked
like
some
sort
of
dinosaur.
Then
it
moved
even
closer
to
them.Its
frightening
look
made
one
of
Mrs
Stoudt's
children
cry.
On
December
12,
1964,
French
photographer
Robert
Serrec
was
having
a
holiday
in
Queensland，Australia.He
was
out
off
the
coast
in
small
boats
with
his
family
and
friends.Suddenly,
they
noticed
a
creature，about
75—80
feet
long.They
described
it
as
a
tadpole?like
(像蝌蚪的)
creature
with
a
snake?like
head.They
took
pictures
of
the
creature
before
it
swam
off.
本文主要讲述了人们目击海怪的故事可能是真的，并给出了三个例子。
1．What
does
the
underlined
word
“cases”
in
Paragraph
2
most
probably
mean?
A．Boxes.
B．Examples.
C．Explanations.
D．Creatures.
答案：B
解析：词义猜测题。文章第二、三、四段给出了三个目击实例，故cases意为“实例”。
2．Which
of
the
following
statements
about
the
1848
sea
monster
is
NOT
true?
A．It
was
about
sixty
feet
long.
B．It
kept
its
head
above
the
water
when
it
swam.
C．Its
whole
body
was
dark
brown.
D．It
was
found
in
the
Atlantic
Ocean.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“in
the
Atlantic
Ocean，seven
men
reported
that
they
saw
a
creature
about
60
feet
long.The
creature's
body
was
dark
brown
in
color
except
for
its
white
throat
area.The
creature
was
swimming
at
a
speed
of
15
miles
per
hour
with
its
head
above
the
water.”可知C项符合题意。
3．It
can
be
inferred
from
the
passage
that
________.
A．the
1848
sea
monster
swam
faster
than
the
1961
and
the
1964
sea
monsters
B．the
three
sea
monsters
mentioned
in
the
passage
each
had
a
snake?like
head
C．the
1964
sea
monster
was
longer
than
the
1848
sea
monster
D．Robert
Serrec
went
to
Australia
in
order
to
see
a
sea
monster
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“about
60
feet
long”和第四段中“about
75?80
feet
long”可知，1964年目击的海怪比1848年的海怪更长，所以C项正确。
4．The
writer's
purpose
of
writing
the
passage
is
________.
A．to
show
people
the
danger
of
travelling
by
sea
B．to
tell
us
that
sea
monster
stories
might
be
true
C．to
explain
why
people
are
afraid
of
sea
monsters
D．to
tell
people
where
they
can
find
sea
monsters
答案：B
解析：目的意图题。根据文章第一段中的“the
large
number
of
sightings
and
the
use
of
modern
technology
are
changing
this
attitude，making
us
wonder
if
those
men
were
telling
real
experiences.”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是告诉读者那些关于海怪的故事可能是真的，故B项正确。

Unexplained
Mysteries
of
the
Natural
World
Ⅰ.阅读理解
California
has
lost
half
its
big
trees
since
the
1930s，according
to
a
study
to
be
published
Tuesday
and
climate
change
seems
to
be
a
major
factor(因素)．
The
number
of
trees
larger
than
two
feet
across
has
declined
by
50
percent
on
more
than
46,000
square
miles
of
California
forests，the
new
study
finds.No
area
was
spared
or
unaffected，from
the
foggy
northern
coast
to
the
Sierra
Nevada
Mountains
to
the
San
Gabriels
above
Los
Angeles.In
the
Sierra
high
country，the
number
of
big
trees
has
fallen
by
more
than
55
percent；in
parts
of
southern
California
the
decline
was
nearly
75
percent.
Many
factors
contributed
to
the
decline，said
Patrick
McIntyre，an
ecologist
who
was
the
lead
author
of
the
study.Woodcutters
targeted
big
trees.Housing
development
pushed
into
the
woods.Aggressive
wildfire
control
has
left
California
forests
crowded
with
small
trees
that
compete
with
big
trees
for
resources(资源)．
But
in
comparing
a
study
of
California
forests
done
in
the
1920s
and
1930s
with
another
one
between
2001
and
2010，McIntyre
and
his
colleagues
documented
a
widespread
death
of
big
trees
that
was
evident
even
in
wildlands
protected
from
woodcutting
or
development.
The
loss
of
big
trees
was
greatest
in
areas
where
trees
had
suffered
the
greatest
water
shortage.The
researchers
figured
out
water
stress
with
a
computer
model
that
calculated
how
much
water
trees
were
getting
in
comparison
with
how
much
they
needed，taking
into
account
such
things
as
rainfall，air
temperature，dampness
of
soil，and
the
timing
of
snowmelt(融雪)．
Since
the
1930s，McIntyre
said，the
biggest
factors
driving
up
water
stress
in
the
state
have
been
rising
temperatures，which
cause
trees
to
lose
more
water
to
the
air，and
earlier
snowmelt，which
reduces
the
water
supply
available
to
trees
during
the
dry
season.
本文是一篇调查报告。调查表明，加利福尼亚州的大树变少了，而气候变化是其中的一个主要因素。
1．What
is
the
second
paragraph
mainly
about?
A．The
seriousness
of
big?tree
loss
in
California.
B．The
increasing
variety
of
California
big
trees.
C．The
distribution
of
big
trees
in
California
forests.
D．The
influence
of
farming
on
big
trees
in
California.
答案：A
解析：段落大意题。第二段中通过列举一系列数字表明，加利福尼亚州的大树减少的严重性，故A项正确。
2．Which
of
the
following
is
well?intentioned
but
may
be
bad
for
big
trees?
A．Ecological
studies
of
forests. B．Banning
woodcutting.
C．Limiting
housing
development.
D．Fire
control
measures.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。文章第三段提到了造成加利福尼亚州的大树减少的三个因素：woodcutters，housing
development与aggressive
wildfire
control。前两个因素直接与大树的减少有关，如果能控制住，大树就不会减少；而第三个因素——控制野火的措施使得加利福尼亚州的森林里满是跟大树争夺资源的小树，初衷是为了控制野火，这是好的，实则对大树不利(好心办坏事)，故D项正确。
3．What
is
a
major
cause
of
the
water
shortage
according
to
McIntyre?
A．Inadequate
snowmelt.
B．A
longer
dry
season.
C．A
warmer
climate.
D．Dampness
of
the
air.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“...the
biggest
factors
driving
up
water
stress
in
the
state
have
been
rising
temperatures...”可知，水不足的主要原因就是气温升高(rising
temperatures)，即更加温暖的气候，故C项正确。
4．What
can
be
a
suitable
title
for
the
text?
A．California's
Forests：Where
Have
All
the
Big
Trees
Gone?
B．Cutting
of
Big
Trees
to
Be
Prohibited
in
California
Soon
C．Why
Are
the
Big
Trees
Important
to
California
Forests?
D．Patrick
McIntyre：Grow
More
Big
Trees
in
California
答案：A
解析：标题归纳题。本文是一篇调查报告，第一段就点出主题：California
has
lost
half
its
big
trees
since
the
1930s。后面具体分析了加利福尼亚州大树的现状、造成大树减少的原因等，故A项作为标题最合适。
Ⅱ.七选五
Six
Things
You
should
Never
Do
Before
the
Queen
Don't
show
up
empty
handed.
What
do
you
get
the
woman
who
already
has
everything?
Sure,
the
Queen
has
several
homes
full
of
priceless
trinkets
(饰品),
but
bringing
a
gift
is
necessary.__1__
So
if
she's
paying
a
visit
to
your
hometown
or
country，something
which
reflects
local
culture
might
go
down
better
than
W．H.Smith's
vouchers(优惠券)．
__2__
You
may
be
dead
on
your
painful
feet—but
you
should
always
stand
when
the
Queen
enters
the
room.You
may
only
sit
once
she
has
taken
the
seat,
so
keep
a
close
eye
on
when
the
Queen
sits
down
herself.
Don't
ignore
the
dress
code.
Regardless
of
how
late
you're
running
or
how
tempting
it
is
to
stay
in
your
casual
clothes,
make
sure
you
dress
accordingly
when
meeting
HRH.__3__
Resist
the
temptation
to
refer
to
her
by
her
first
name.
While
the
Royal
family
may
be
extremely
familiar
to
us,
and
while
we
may
have
our
own
nicknames
for
them,
we
common
folks
still
aren't
on
a
first
name
basis
with
them.So,
when
you
meet
the
Queen
she
should
be
addressed
as
“Your
Majesty”
and
“Ma'am”
consequently
after.When
she
leaves,
however,
you
must
address
her
as
“Your
Majesty”
once
again.
Only
speak
if
the
Queen
speaks
to
you.
Remember
when
you
were
a
small
child
and
all
your
elders
would
drop
wisdom
such
as
“don't
speak
unless
spoken
to
first”
and
“children
should
be
seen
and
not
heard”？__4__This
rule
exists
so
Her
Royal
Highness
can
control
every
aspect
of
the
conversation—including
exiting
it
swiftly.
Don't
eat
before
she
does.
No
matter
how
tasty
and
tempting
the
banquet
morsels
spread
in
front
of
you
look，you
can
only
start
eating
once
the
Queen
does.So
perhaps
have
a
quick
snack
beforehand,
in
case
any
speeches
go
on
for
a
long
time.__5__
A．Stand
to
attention.
B．Watch
out
for
the
Queen.
C．Oh,
and
if
she
has
finished
eating,
you'd
better
be
full
too.
D．If
the
event
is
black
tie，wear
black
tie.
E．You
are
supposed
to
listen
to
them
though
you've
grown
up.
F．This
gift
must
also
be
appropriate
to
the
occasion.
G．The
same
applies
to
meeting
the
Queen.
本文主要讲述了在见女王时需要注意的事项。
1．F 解析：由该段主题句及空后一句可知F项符合语境。
2．A 解析：由空下一段讲述应站着面见女王，在她坐下之后才可以坐，可知A项符合语境。
3．D 解析：由该段内容此处指着装要适宜，故D项符合语境。
4．G 解析：由空前及空后的“This
rule”可知G项符合语境。
5．C 解析：由该段内容讲述吃饭时注意事项可知C项符合语境。单元评估六(Module

the

of
the

It

W：What

M：Well,
I
plan
to
use
them
to
catch
mice.
W：Won't
that
kill
them?
M：Hopefully.
W：Oh,
no.
They
are
just
cute
innocent
little
creatures.
M：They
are
the

who
carry

I

nothing

her

W：Really?
M：Yes.
So
shall
we
leave
at
7：00?
W：You're
still

you

You're

So
when

W：Next

You're

By

I'd

right?
W：Yeah,
sorry.
But
I'll
recommend
you
to
my
friends.

Recently,
the
Canadians
felt
so
surprised
about
a
Chinese
student,
because
he
had
bought
a
big
house
there.
It
cost
a
large
amount
of
money
and
the
student
needed
to
pay
off
the
debt
for
about
200,000
yuan
every
month.
The
media
tried
hard
to
search
for
more
information
about
the
student,
but
failed.
The
house
was
very
big
and
good,
and
it
was
equipped
with
all
kinds
of
amusements
and
cookers.
Its
former
owner
is
a
billionaire,
what's
more,
the
neighborhoods
are
all
big
shots.
The
Canadians
were
so
shocked
that
a
student
could
buy
the
house
that
none
of
them
could
afford.
They
even
doubted
whether
the
source
of
the
money
was
legal.
Last
century,
Chinese
economy
developed
so
fast.
Many
people
became
rich
and
made
their
children
live
a
good
life.
So
these
children
were
called
rich
second
generation,
most
of
whom
were
sent
to
study
abroad.
There
is
no
doubt
that
the
new
owner
of
this
house
must
have
a
rich
father,
who
can
support
him
to
buy
this
great
house.
The
Canadians
feel
so
full
of
envy
about
this
young
boy,
at
the
same
time,
they
are
very
impressive
of
the
development
of
Chinese
economy.

Nicolai
Calabria
has
already
become
one
of
the
best
106－pound
wrestlers.He
has
successfully
climbed
to
the
top
of
the
highest
mountain
in
Africa,
and
most
importantly,
he's
changed
the
attitude
of
any
normal
person
who
watches
him
compete.
The
17－year－old
teenager
has
one
leg.He
was
born
that
way，but
his
goal
is
to
show
it's
not
the
one
thing
that
defines
him.He
would
also
be
the
first
one
to
tell
you
that
he
just
wants
to
prove
to
others
and
himself
that
he's
just
like
other
normal
ones.
When
Calabria
was
young,
his
parents
tried
different
prostheses
(假肢)
to
find
out
which
was
most
comfortable
for
their
son
as
he
tried
to
keep
up
with
the
family,
who
has
a
preference
for
sports.
At
first,
the
Calabrias
had
their
middle
child
in
a
prosthesis
that
looked
and
functioned
like
a
real
leg,
but
soon
they
decided
to
choose
a
different
path
when
they
found
it
wasn't
beneficial
to
his
movement.Then
the
family
moved
him
to
arm
crutches
(手杖)
and
from
there
a
new
burst
of
energy
was
found.
Getting
others
to
believe
that
he
could
take
off
on
the
soccer
field
took
a
little
bit
longer.When
the
Calabrias
moved
to
Concord，they
had
a
hard
time
persuading
the
town
soccer
team
to
allow
a
child
like
him
to
compete
with
able?bodied
kids.After
months
and
months
of
debates
and
meetings,
the
family
received
the
answer
they
were
looking
for.Since
then,
witnessing
a
young
man
on
crutches
who
competes
against
those
with
two
legs
has
become
a_fixed_event_
in
the
Concord
community.
“At
that
time
I
had
nothing
but
discouragement
working
with
the
soccer
community;
however,
now
I
have
nothing
but
admiration
for
the
fact
that
he's
been
allowed
to
play,
and
people
see
that
he
adds
value
to
the
game，”
his
father
said.“I
just
think
it's
a
great
result.”
文章讲述了一个坚强男孩的故事。Nicolai
Calabria天生只有一条腿，但这没有给他带来不好的影响，相反，凭借坚强的毅力，他攀上了非洲最高的山脉，也改变了人们对他的看法和态度。
24．This
passage
shows
us
a
boy
with
one
leg________.
A．can
do
what
a
normal
teenager
can
B．is
realizing
as
many
dreams
as
he
can
C．can
make
a
sport
event
more
valuable
D．can
add
value
to
society
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“he
just
wants
to
prove
to
others
and
himself
that
he's
just
like
other
normal
ones”可知，虽然只有一条腿，但是Calabria通过自己的努力向周围的人们证明了他是和其他青少年一样的，别人能做到的他也能够做到，故选A。
25．We
can
learn
from
Paragraph
5
that________.
A．Calabria
proved
to
be
the
most
excellent
player
of
the
team
B．it
was
not
easy
for
Calabria
to
be
accepted
to
the
town
soccer
team
C．Calabria's
parents
didn't
allow
him
to
play
soccer
at
first
D．there
are
some
other
disabled
children
in
the
soccer
team
答案：B
解析：段落大意题。根据第五段“Getting
others
to
believe
that
he
could
take
off
on
the
soccer
field
took
a
little
bit
longer...they
had
a
hard
time
persuading
the
town
soccer
team
to
allow
a
child
like
him
to
compete
with
able－bodied
kids.”可知，让别人相信Calabria能够踢好足球并非易事，Calabria一家人花费了好长时间才说服了镇上的足球队接纳Calabria，故选B。
26．In
Paragraph
5,
the
underlined
part
“a
fixed
event”
probably
means________.
A．a
must－see
event
B．a
planned
programme
C．an
extra
game
D．a
special
occasion
答案：A
解析：词义猜测题。根据本段“Since
then，witnessing
a
young
man
on
crutches
who
competes
against
those
with
two
legs
has
become
a_fixed_event
in
the
Concord
community.”可知，从那以后，一个拄着拐杖的年轻人与身体完好的对手踢球成了一个必看的赛事，故选A。
27．It
is
implied
in
the
last
paragraph
that
Nicolai's
father
________.
A．has
been
discouraged
since
Nicolai
played
soccer
B．thinks
that
Nicolai
is
playing
a
key
role
in
the
team
C．is
very
delighted
that
Nicolai
can
play
soccer
in
the
team
D．hasn't
expected
that
Nicolai
can
be
allowed
to
play
soccer
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据“At
that
time
I
had
nothing
but
discouragement
working
with
the
soccer
community”可知，Calabria的父亲当时对跟足球队协商不抱任何希望，但现在，他为儿子能够踢球并为球队带来价值而感到高兴，nothing
but只有，仅仅，故选C。
C
The
British
are
known
for
their
sense
of
humour.However,
it
is
often
difficult
for
foreigners
to
understand
their
jokes.The
main
point
to
remember
is
that
the
British
often
use
understatement
(轻描淡写)．
Understatement
means
saying
less
than
you
think
or
feel.For
example,
if
someone
gets
very
wet
in
a
shower
of
rain,
he
might
say,
“It's
a
little
damp
outside.”
Or,
if
someone
is
very
impolite
and
shouts
at
another
person,
someone
else
might
say,
“She
isn't
exactly
friendly.”
Understatement
is
often
used
in
an
unpleasant
situation
or
to
make
another
person
look
silly.Understatement
plays
an
important
part
in
British
humour.
Another
key
to
understanding
British
humour
is
that
the
British
like
to
make
fun
of
themselves
as
well
as
others.They
often
laugh
about
the
silly
and
unpleasant
things
that
happen
to
their
everyday
life
when
someone
accidentally
falls
over
in
the
street.They
also
like
to
make
jokes
about
people
from
different
classes
of
society.They
like
to
make
jokes
about
their
accents
(口音),
the
way
they
dress
and
the
way
they
behave.What's
more,
the
British
love
to
watch
comedies
about
people
who
do
not
know
how
to
behave
in
society.The
comedy
series
Mr
Bean
is
a
good
example
of
this
kind
of
humour.
Mr
Bean
is
the
character
created
by
British
actor
Rowan
Atkinson
in
1990.Mr
Bean
doesn't
talk
often,
and
instead
he
uses
his
body
movements
and
facial
expressions
to
make
people
laugh.Perhaps
what
makes
Mr
Bean
so
funny
is
that
he
does
things
that
adults
in
the
real
world
cannot
do.Mr
Bean
is
popular
in
many
countries
around
the
world
because
you
do
not
have
to
speak
English
to
understand
the
humour.Because
of
this,
many
people
have
become
familiar
with
the
British
sense
of
humour.
本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了英国人幽默的关键点是轻描淡写，和喜欢开自己和他人的玩笑。
28．Why
is
it
difficult
for
foreigners
to
understand
British
jokes?
A．The
British
often
stick
to
the
facts.
B．British
jokes
are
involved
with
many
different
cultures.
C．British
jokes
are
not
as
funny
as
jokes
in
other
countries.
D．The
British
try
to
make
out
that
something
is
less
important
than
it
is.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The
main
point
to
remember
is
that
the
British
often
use
understatement(轻描淡写)．”以及第二段第一句“Understatement
means
saying
less
than
you
think
or
feel.”可知，英国文化(包含英式幽默)的主要特点就是对叙述的事情轻描淡写。
29．The
author
explains
understatement
by
________.
A．describing
a
process
B．making
comparisons
C．following
time
order
D．using
examples
答案：D
解析：写作手法题。在第二段中，作者通过举例子让读者明白什么是轻描淡写的陈述；在第四段中，作者通过憨豆先生的例子来具体说明英式幽默，故选D。
30．Mr
Bean
makes
people
laugh
by
________.
A．using
his
body
movements
and
facial
expressions
B．making
jokes
about
others'
accents
C．copying
others'
behavior
D．telling
funny
stories
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“he
uses
his
body
movements
and
facial
expressions
to
make
people
laugh”可知，Mr
Bean通过自己的肢体活动和面部表情逗人们笑。
31．What
can
be
the
best
title
for
the
text?
A．British
Humour
in
Comedy
B．Humour
in
Different
Cultures
C．Understanding
British
Humour
D．Developing
Your
Sense
of
Humour
答案：C
解析：主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了英国人幽默的关键点是轻描淡写和喜欢开自己和他人的玩笑，因此Understanding
British
Humour为最佳标题。
D
Sure,
it's
good
to
get
along
with
your
teacher
because
it
makes
that
time
you
spend
in
the
classroom
more
pleasant.And
yes,
it's
good
to
get
along
with
your
teacher
because,
in
general,
it's
smart
to
learn
how
to
relate
to
the
different
types
of
people
you'll
meet
throughout
your
life.
But
really,
there's
one
super－important
reason
why
you
should
get
along
with
your
teacher.Kids
who
get
along
with
their
teachers
not
only
learn
more,
but
also
they're
more
comfortable
asking
questions
and
getting
extra
help.This
makes
it
easier
to
understand
new
material
and
do
your
best
on
tests.When
you
have
this
kind
of
relationship
with
a
teacher,
he
or
she
can
be
someone
to
turn
to
with
problems,
such
as
problems
with
learning
or
school
issues
such
as
bullying.
As
a
kid
in
elementary
or
middle
school,
you're
at
a
wonderful
stage
in
your
life.You're
able
to
take
in
lots
of
new
and
exciting
information.Apart
from
that,
you're
able
to
think
about
all
this
information
in
new
ways.Your
teacher
knows
that,
and
in
most
cases,
he
or
she
is
thrilled
to
be
the
person
who's
giving
you
all
that
material
and
helping
you
put
it
together.Remember
teachers
are
people,
too,
and
they
feel
great
if
you're
open
to
what
they're
teaching
you.That's
why
they
wanted
to
be
teachers
in
the
first
place—to
teach!
Some
kids
may
be
able
to
learn
in
any
situation,
whether
they
like
the
teacher
or
not.But
most
kids
are
sensitive
to
the
way
they
get
along
with
the
teacher,
and
if
things
aren't
going
well,
they
won't
learn
as
well
and
won't
enjoy
being
in
class.
本文主要介绍与老师相处融洽的重要性。
32．Paragraph
2
mainly
talks
about________.
A．new
materials
learned
from
teachers
B．ways
to
develop
relationship
with
teachers
C．benefits
in
getting
along
with
teachers
D．avoiding
problems
happening
around
kids
答案：C
解析：段落大意题。根据第二段的“Kids
who
get
along
with
their
teachers
not
only
learn
more,
but
also
they're
more
comfortable
asking
questions
and
getting

makes
it
easier
to

you
have
this
kind
of
relationship
with
a
teacher,
he
or
she
can
be
someone
to
turn
to
with
problems.”可知，本段主要谈论与老师相处融洽的好处，即C项正确。
33．What's
the
writer's
attitude
towards
getting
along
with
teachers?
A．Doubtful.
B．Objective.
C．Uncaring.
D．Favorable.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的整体内容可推知，作者是赞成与老师相处融洽的，即D项正确。
34．What
can
we
know
from
the
passage?
A．Kids
are
unable
to
understand
lots
of
exciting
information.
B．Kids
are
bullied
while
communicating
with
others
in
school.
C．Most
kids
will
leave
the
class
when
not
doing
quite
well
with
their
teachers.
D．Most
kids
will
leave
the
class
when
not
satisfied
with

teaching
methods.
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段的“But
most
kids
are
sensitive
to
the
way
they
get
along
with
the
teacher,
and
if
things
aren't
going
well,
they
won't
learn
as
well
and
won't
enjoy
being
in
class.”可知，如果和老师相处不好，大部分孩子将不愿意学习和待在班里，即C项正确。
35．The
passage
is
most
probably
taken
from________.
A．children's
literature
B．an
education
magazine
C．a
science
report
D．an
advertisement
答案：B
解析：文章出处题。children's
literature“儿童文学”；an
education
magazine“一本教育杂志”；a
science
report“一篇科学报道”；an
advertisement“一条广告”。由文章整体内容可知，本文很可能来自一本教育杂志，即B项正确。

the

bull.The
barn(牛棚)door
__48__
and
out
came
the
biggest
bull
that

ever
seen.He
__49__
that
one
of
the
next
bulls
had
to
be
a

__50__

he
ran
over
to
the
side
and
let
the
bull
__51__.
A
few
__52__
later，the
barn
door
opened
again.Unbelievable!
The
young
man
had

so
__53__

did
nothing
but
wait
silently.
It
was
quite
some
time
before
the
door
opened.A
__56__
came
across
the
young
man's
face.This
was
the
weakest
bull
that
he
had
ever
seen.“This
one
was
my
bull，”
he
__57__
to
himself.As
the
bull
came
running
by，he
positioned
himself
just
right
and
__58__
at
just
the
exact
moment.He
threw
his
hands
to
catch...
But
to
his
__59__，the
bull
had
no
tail.
Life
is
full
of
opportunities.__60__
catch
the
first
one.

第二节：(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Since
an
early
age,
I
have
developed
an
interest
in
art.I
must
admit
that
I
am
crazy
about
the
paintings
by
Vincent
van
Gogh(
1853～1890)．
__61__(consider)
as
one
of
the
greatest
artists
all
the
time，this
Dutch
Post?Impressionist
artist
had
a
great
influence
on

20th
century
art.Vincent
spent
his
early
adult
life
working
for
a
firm
of
art
dealers.Later
he
tried
to
be
a
minister,
but
he
was
not
__63__(success).
Vincent
had
mental
problems
and
was
often
emotional,
which
made
__64__
difficult
for
him
to
succeed.It
was
not
until
1880
__65__
Vincent
began
his
career
as
an
artist.However,
during
the
last
ten
years
of
his
life,
he
produced
more
than
2,000
pieces,
including
around
900
paintings
and
1,100
drawings.Most
of
his

works

years,
when
he
was

ill.
In
1890,
at

age
of
37,
Vincent
shot
himself.The
only
painting
he

本文是一篇记叙文。作者从很小的时候起，就对艺术产生了兴趣特别是对Vincent
van
Gogh的画很着迷。本文介绍了Vincent
van
Gogh的艺术经历及部分作品。
61．Considered
解析：考查非谓语动词。这位荷兰后印象派艺术家一直被认为是最伟大的艺术家之一，对20世纪的艺术产生了巨大的影响。句子主语this
Dutch
Post?Impressionist
artist和consider之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以此处用过去分词作状语，故填Considered。
62．the
解析：考查冠词。表示“第几世纪”要用定冠词the。
63．successful
解析：考查词性转换。他后来试图成为一名牧师，但并没有成功。be动词后面应用形容词作表语，故填successful。
64．it
解析：考查代词。“make
it＋形容词＋for
sb.＋动词不定式”为固定结构，其中it是形式宾语，动词不定式为真正的宾语。
65．that
解析：考查固定句型。直到1880年，Vincent才开始了他的艺术家生涯。此处是强调句型，强调时间状语“until
1880”，故填that。
66．were_produced
解析：考查时态和语态。本句的主语works和谓语动词produce
是动宾关系，且此处表示的动作发生在过去，故用一般过去时的被动语态。
67．seriously
解析：考查词性转换。此处用副词修饰后面的形容词ill。
68．on
解析：考查介词。on
exhibition为固定短语，意为“在展览中”。
69．paintings
解析：考查名词的数。painting为可数名词，且本空前面有several，故应用其复数形式。
70．setting
解析：考查非谓语动词。此处应用现在分词短语作结果状语，表示自然而然的结果。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
I
clearly
remember
the
day
when
my
little
brother
was
born:
January
1,
1994.One
of
my
favorite
family
photos
shows
me
lying
with
my
mother
in
the
hospital
bed,
happy
but
unaware
of
the
small,
sleeping
baby
in
the
background.
I
stayed
with
my
grandparents
for
the
weekend
of
my
brother's
birth,
excited
about
my
new
brother
but
not
yet
aware
of
what
having
a
little
brother
would
mean.I
didn't
truly
realize
what
was
going
on
until
we
were
in
the
hospital
room
at
Duke
University—coincidentally
(碰巧地),
the
same
room
in
which
I
had
been
born
two
years
earlier.
When
I
looked
at
my
brother
for
the
first
time,
I
felt
a
mixture
of
fear
and
interest.
Little
did
I
know
that
small,
pink
creature
would
grow
up
to
be
one
of
my
favorite
people
in
the
world.
In
reality,
though
I
am
two
years
older
than
my
brother,
I_am_more_often_than_not_the_real_baby_in_the_family.I
am
very
lacking
when
it
comes
to
common
sense.
Instructions
constantly
confuse
me
and
I
frequently
find
myself
totally
puzzled
by
things
like
knowing
how
to
start
the
washing
machine
or
manage
the
storage
settings
on
my
iPhone.
That's
where
Gibson
comes
in.The
poor
kid
has
had
to
guide
me
through
more
tasks
than
I
would
care
to
admit,
but
he
never
complains.Though
I
should
probably
be
told
to
figure
it
out
myself,
he
always
comes
to
help
me
out.
I'm
envious
of
his
ability
to
quickly
answer
the
ever?present
question,
“What
do
you
want
to
do
with
your
life？”
He
was
questioned
at
family
gatherings.“Be
a
doctor，”
he
said
a
solid
answer,
completely
opposite
to
my
shaky
one,
“Well,
I'm
an
English
major,
so...”
My
brother
truly
is
my
best
friend.
No
one
understands
me
better,
and
there
isn't
anyone
else
I
would
want
to
stick
with
in
my
family.I
may
not
have
a
clear
idea
of
where
I'm
headed,
but
he
is
sticking
with
me.
作者清楚地记得弟弟出生的日子，小时候不知道有个弟弟意味着什么，但现在作者知道弟弟是他最亲近的人。
1．How
did
the
author
feel
when
he
saw
his
brother
for
the
first
time?
A．Sceptical
and
sad.
B．Excited
and
moved.
C．Curious
and
frightened.
D．Happy
and
interested.
答案：C
解析：细节理解题。由第三段中的“When
I
looked
at
my
brother
for
the
first
time，I
felt
a
mixture
of
fear
and
interest.”可知，C项正确。
2．What
does
the
underlined
sentence
in
the
fourth
paragraph
mean?
A．My
brother
is
the
real
baby
in
the
family.
B．In
fact,
I
seem
to
be
less
mature
than
my
little
brother.
C．My
brother
gets
more
love
from
the
family
than
I
do.
D．I
am
growing
more
slowly
than
my
brother.
答案：B
解析：句意理解题。由下文内容可知，虽然作者比弟弟大两岁，但是作者却总显得缺乏常识，反而弟弟显得成熟一些，总会教作者如何做一些事情。因此，作者认为和弟弟相比，他才是家里真正的孩子。more
often
than
not意为“往往，通常”。
3．What
does
the
author's
brother
often
help
the
author
do?
A．Help
him
deal
with
many
daily
tasks.
B．Help
him
with
his
studies.
C．Give
him
advice
on
how
to
choose
a
major.
D．Comfort
him
when
he
is
in
a
bad
mood.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。由第四、第五段内容可知，作者的弟弟经常帮助他做一些日常生活中的事情，故A项符合题意。
4．What
is
the
best
title
for
the
passage?
A．My
Strange
Family
Gatherings
B．The
Real
Baby
in
the
Family
C．Stick
with
Me—My
Not?So?Little
Little
Brother
D．The
Feeling
of
Having
a
Brother
答案：C
解析：标题判断题。本文讲述了作者和弟弟之间的故事，弟弟比作者小两岁，却比他成熟坚定，是作者的好朋友，结合最后一段最后一句I
may
not
have
a
clear
idea
of
where
I'm
headed
but
he
is
sticking
with
me.可知，作者希望永远和弟弟在一起。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Tourism
probably
started
in
Roman
times.Rich
Romans
visited
friends
and
family
who
were
working
in
another
part
of
the
Roman
Empire.But
when
the
Empire
broke
down,
this
kind
of
tourism
stopped.
In
the
early
17th
century,
the
idea
of
the
“Grand
Tour”
was
born.Rich
young
English
people
sailed
across
the
English
Channel.They
visited
the
most
beautiful
and
important
European
cities
of
the
time,
including
Paris
in
France,
and
Rome
and
Venice
in
Italy.Their
tours
lasted
for
two
to
four
years,
and
the
tourists
stayed
a
few
weeks
or
months
in
each
city.The
“Grand
Tour”
was
an
important
part
of
young
people's
education—but
only
for
the
rich.
In
the
18th
century,
tourism
began
to
change.For
example,
people
in
the
UK
started
to
visit
some
towns,
such
as
Bath
to
“take
the
waters”．They
believed
that
the
water
there
was
good
for
their
health.So
large
and
expensive
hotels
were
built
in
these
towns.
In
the
19th
century,
travel
became
much
more
popular
and
faster.When
the
first
railways
were
built
in
the
1820s,
it
was
easier
for
people
to
travel
between
towns,
so
they
started
to
go
for
holidays
by
the
sea.
And
some
started
to
have
holidays
in
the
countryside
as
cities
became
larger,
noisier
and
dirtier.
Traveling
by
sea
also
became
faster
and
safer
when
the
first
steamships
were
built.People
began
to
travel
more
to
far?away
countries.
The
20th
century
saw
cars
become
more
and
more
popular
among
ordinary
people.Planes
were
made
larger,
so
ticket
prices
dropped
and
more
people
used
them.Thus
tourism
grew.In
1949,
Russian
journalist
Vladimir
Raitz
started
a
company
called
Horizon
Holidays.The
company
organizes
everything—plane
tickets,
hotel
rooms,
even
food—and
tourists
pay
for
it
all
before
they
leave
home.The
package
tour
and
modern
tourist
industry
was
born.
The
first
travel
agency
in
China
was
set
up
as
early
as
1949.But
tourism
did
not
take_off
until
1978.In
2002,
the
industry
was
worth
500
billion
yuan
and
became
an
important
part
of
China's
social
development.
本文主要讲述了旅游业的发展。
1．Which
of
the
following
is
true?
A．The
young
men
learned
little
from
Grand
Tour.
B．Tourism
became
faster
and
safer
when
the
first
railways
were
built
in
the
18th
century.
C．More
people
chose
ships
for
its
cheap
price.
D．In
2002,
tourism
became
a

part
of

social
development.
答案：D

National
Symbols
When
many
people
in
the
west
think
of
China，the
animal
that
they
think
of
is
the
dragon.__1__Many
popular
legends
tell
of
how
dragons
killed
brave
knights(骑士)
and
ate
beautiful
young
women.
For
Chinese
people,
however,
the
dragon
is
not
an
evil
monster.__2__
The
dragon's
main
task
is
to
create
harmony
and
bring
rain.Dragons
are
celebrated
in
art
and
architecture,
and
of
course
the
dragon
dance
is
a
very
popular
ritual
(仪式)．Millions
of
Chinese
have
the
word
“long”
,
meaning
dragon,
as
part
of
their
name.
__3__
Wales,
one
of
the
four
countries
in
the
UK,
has
a
red
dragon
proudly
displayed
on
its
flag.The
only
other
country
in
the
world
with
a
dragon
on
its
flag
is
Bhutan,
the
tiny
country,
between
China
and
India.
Almost
all
countries
in
the
world
have
an
animal
symbol
to
represent
their
country,
and
it
is
particularly
obvious
in
sports.The
English
see
lions
as
brave，proud
animals
and
the
England
football
team
has
three
lions
on
the
front
of
their
football
shirts.__4__
The
national
rugby
team
is
more
commonly
known
as
the
Wallabies,
a
kind
of
small
kangaroo.
All
countries
are
proud
of
their
symbols,
which
they
feel
reflect
national
characteristics.Recently,
a
professor
claimed
using
the
dragon
as
a
national
symbol
could
make
western
countries
have
a
negative
view
of
China.__5__
As
we
are
all
familiar
with
that
Chinese
symbol,
people
in
the
west
would
no
doubt
want
China
to
keep
the
dragon
too.
A．Australia
is
famous
for
kangaroos,
of
course.
B．There
are
many
other
countries
using
the
dragon
symbol.
C．China
isn't
the
only
country
to
have
the
dragon
as
its
symbol.
D．It's
a
cultural
and
spiritual
symbol
for
prosperity
and
good
luck.
E．For
them,
the
dragon
is
an
aggressive
monster
that
breathes
fire.
F．The
kangaroo
is
not
only
loved,
but
highly
respected
in
Australia.
G．But
in
an
Internet
survey
90%
of
Chinese
people
wanted
to
keep
the
dragon.
本文属于说明文，介绍了中国的象征动物龙和一些其他国家的象征动物。
1．E 解析：根据下文中的“how
dragons
killed
brave
knights(骑士)and
ate
beautiful
young
women”可知，在西方人眼中，龙具有攻击性。故E项符合语境，且与下文中的“For
Chinese
people，however”形成对比。
2．D 解析：第一段讲了龙在西方人眼中的形象，而由第二段第一句可知，龙在中国人眼中不是邪恶的怪物，故选D项，从而与后一句“The
dragon's
main
task
is
to
create
harmony
and
bring
rain.”衔接紧密。
3．C 解析：第二段介绍了龙在中国文化中的象征意义，再根据空后的“Wales，one
of
the
four
countries
in
the
UK，has
a
red
dragon
proudly
displayed
on
its
flag.”可知，C项能起到承上启下的作用。故选C。
4．A 解析：根据下文可知，他们的橄榄球国家队以被称为沙袋鼠而出名，且根据常识可知，应选A项。
5．G 解析：由“一个教授声称使用龙作为国家的象征可能会让西方国家对中国产生负面看法”和“由于我们都熟悉中国的这个象征，所以西方人也无疑想让中国保留龙这一象征”可知，G项符合语境。G项中的keep
the
dragon与空后的“keep
the
dragon
too”相呼应。

we

in
the

modern

can't
find

Well,
what
if
someone

from
classical

like
Mozart,

you

Listening
to

Various

of
the
Mozart
effect,
has
devoted
__7__(he)to

time
and
memorize

more
easily.He
feels
that
Mozart's

has
a
