第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Cycling
isn’t
always
easy.Busy
streets
and
few
bike
lanes
and
parking
areas
can
make
it
a
battle.But
not
even
these
difficulties
can
stop
Europeans’
love
for
cycling.According
to
Reuters,more
bicycles
have
been
sold
than
cars
in
26
of
the
European
Union’s
28
states
this
year.
In
some
European
countries,people
really
love
bicycles.“People
ride
to
work
and
take
their
bikes
to
the
grocery
store,”Bill
Strickland,editor
of
Bicycling
magazine,told
the
reporter
from
Reuters.
So
what
has
led
to
cycling’s
growing
popularity
in
Europe?Cycling
is
“a
safe,clean,healthy,inexpensive
way
to
get
around
town,”
the
Daily
Star
concluded.“It
not
only
reduces
traffic
problems
and
pollution,but
also
contributes
to
public
health.”
Bike-friendly
rules
have
also
been
made.Lots
of
cities
have
joined
a
European
Union
initiative
(倡议)
to
make
bicycles
a
form
of
city
transport,like
cars.Quite
a
few
cities
such
as
Stockholm,London,Florence
and
Munich
now
offer
special
bike
lanes.Copenhagen
takes
it
a
step
further
by
keeping
bicycles
and
cars
separated
as
much
as
possible.On
these
routes,traffic
lights
are
designed
to
the
rhythms
of
bicycles,not
cars.For
people
living
far
from
city
centers,getting
to
work
by
bicycle
alone
may
take
too
much
time.That’s
why
many
European
countries
now
allow
cyclists
to
bring
their
bicycles
onto
subway
trains.Europeans
are
also
creative
in
solving
parking
problems.Amsterdam
has
come
up
with
a
high-tech
solution:you
lock
your
bike
to
a
rack
(机架),which
then
goes
underground.When
you
want
your
bike
back,it
is
brought
back
to
the
surface.

to
the
passage,the
following
cities
offer
special
bike
lanes
EXCEPT
.?
A.Copenhagen B.Amsterdam
C.London
D.Stockholm
答案B
解析根据最后一段中的“Stockholm,London,Florence
and
Munich
now
offer
special
bike
lanes.Copenhagen
takes
it
a
step
further
by
keeping
bicycles
and
cars
separated
as
much
as
possible”可知没有提供特别的自行车道的城市是B项。
22.Why
do
people
enjoy
cycling
in
Europe
from
the
passage?
A.Bicycles
can
be
brought
onto
subway
trains.
B.Cycling
is
a

get
around
town.

park
their
bicycles
wherever
they
like.

be
locked
to
a
rack
underground.
答案B
解析根据第三段中的“a
safe,clean,healthy,inexpensive
way
to
get
around
town”可知选B项。
23.What’s
the
best
title
for

rules
are
made
for
cyclists.
B.More
bicycles
are
sold
in
Europe.
C.Bicycles
need
their
own
ways.
D.European
people
love
bicycles.
答案D
解析根据全文的陈述可知,本文描述的是欧洲人对自行车的热爱,以及与此相关的种种措施。
B
London
is
in
a
valley.So
towns
in
valleys
see
the
surrounding
air
staying
to
the
lower
point.During
the
night,cold
air
from
surrounding
hills
falls
down
in
the
valleys.The
fog
reputation
of
London,which
called
the
smog,comes
from
the
fact
that
the
houses
were,in
the
past,heated
by
coal.Houses
and
factories
gave
off
much
pollution
in
the
air
and,in
order
to
condense
(浓缩)
into
tiny
water
droplets,moisture
(湿度)
needs
to
be
in
contact
with
something
that
has
a
mass.So,the
valley,the
city,the
coal
heating,a
high
pressure
with
no
wind
and
staying
air...
and
you
get
the
London’s
smog.
In
common
with
many
countries,Britain
has
serious
environmental
problems.In
1952,more
than
4,000
people
died
in
London
because
of
the
worst
smog.The
government
introduced
new
laws
to
stop
smog
from
coal
fires
and
factories
and
the
situation
improved
a
lot.
Today,London
is
much
cleaner
but
there
is
a
new
problem:smog
from
cars.In
December
1991,there
was
very
little
wind
in
London
and
pollution
increased
a
lot.As
a
result,about
160
people
died
from
pollution
in
just
four
days.
Part
of
the
problem
is
the
new
“out
of
town”
shopping
centers.In
the
past,people
often
walked
to
shops
near
their
homes
or
went
by
bus.Now,many
people
drive
to
the
new
shopping
centers.As
a
result,the
small
shops
have
disappeared
and
more
people
have
to
travel
to
do
their
shopping.
Many
people
are
trying
to
reduce
the
use
of
cars
in
Britain.Some
cities
now
have
special
bicycle
paths
and
many
people
cycle
to
work.Some
people
also
travel
to
work
together
in
one
car
to
reduce
the
pollution
and
cost.
Sometimes
people
take
“direct
action”.In
1995,for
example,many
people
wanted
to
stop
a
new
road
from
being
built
near
Newbury.They
set
up
houses
in
trees
and
lived
there
for
many
months.It
took
a
long
time
to
force
the
people
out
of
the
trees
before
the
construction
work
on
the
road
could
continue.
【语篇解读】本文讲述了汽车产生的尾气所带来的危害及政府和人民采取的措施。
24.Which
of
the
following
isn’t
the
direct
cause
of
smog
in
London?
A.The
valley.
B.The
staying
air.
C.The
coal
heating.
D.The
developed
industry.
答案D
解析根据第一段最后一句“So,the
valley,the
city,the
coal
heating,a
high
pressure
with
no
wind
and
staying
air...and
you
get
the
London’s
smog.”可知A、B、C三项是导致伦敦烟雾的直接原因。
25.Which
of
the
following
statements
is
TRUE
according
to
the
passage?
A.The
government
once
introduced
a
law
against
smog
from
cars
and
factories.
B.London
is
much
cleaner
than
before
so
nobody
dies
from
pollution
any
longer.
C.Now
smog
in
London
mainly
comes
from
cars.
D.The
“direct
action”
taken
in
1995
was
a
successful
example
of
people
reducing
the
use
of
cars.
答案C
解析根据第三段第一句“Today,London
is
much
cleaner
but
there
is
a
new
problem:smog
from
cars.”可知,伦敦现在烟雾主要来自汽车尾气排放。
26.What
makes
people
do
the
shopping
by
car?
A.They
prefer
to
do
shopping
in
big
shopping
centers
outside
the
town.
B.Small
shops
near
their
homes
have
disappeared.
C.Many
new
shopping
centers
have
appeared
outside
the
town.
D.It
has
become
a
fashion
to
do
shopping
in
large
shopping
centers.
答案B
解析根据第四段最后一句“As
a
result,the
small
shops
have
disappeared
and
more
people
have
to
travel
to
do
their
shopping.”可知家附近的小商店没有了,他们不得不开车到城外商场(the
new
“out
of
town”
shopping
centers)购物。A、C两项的陈述虽然正确,但不是人们被迫开车购物的原因。
27.What
is
the
best
title
for
this
passage?
A.To
Reduce
the
Use
of
Cars
B.The
Disadvantages
Brought
by
the
Use
of
Cars
C.Smog
from
Cars
in
Britain
D.People’s
Actions
against
Smog
答案C
解析本文讲述了汽车产生的尾气所带来的危害及政府和人民采取的措施,故选C项,其他选项只涉及文章的某个方面。
C
If
you
really
want
to
go
green,here’s
good
news:eating
green
is
good
for
you.The
very
foods
with
a
high
carbon
(碳)
cost
—
meat,pork,dairy
products,processed
snacks
—
also
tend
to
be
filled
with
fat
and
calories.A
green
diet
would
be
mostly
vegetables
and
fruits,whole
grains
(全谷物),fish
and
lean
meats
(瘦肉)
like
chicken
—
a
diet
that
is
good
for

and
your
figure.Eating
green
can
be
healthier
and
beneficial
to
the
climate.
It
may
be
hard
to
believe
that
a
meal
at
McDonald’s
produces
more
carbon
than
your
trip
to
a
faraway
place.More
than
37%
of
the
world’s
land
is
used
for
agriculture,much
of
which
was
once
forested.Deforestation
(砍伐森林)
is
a
major
source
of
carbon.The
fertilizer
(化肥)
and
machinery
needed
on
a
modern
farm
also
have
a
large
carbon
footprint,as
does
the
network
of
ships
and
trucks
that
brings
the
food
from
the
farm
to
your
plate.
The
most
efficient
way
to
reduce
the
carbon
footprint
of
your
menu
is
to
eat
less
meat,especially
beef.Raising
cattle
takes
a
lot
more
energy
than
growing
the
equivalent
(相等的)
amount
of
grains,fruits
or
vegetables.What’s
more,the
majority
of
cattle
in
the
US
are
fed
on
grain
and
loads
of
it—670
million
tons
in
2002—and
the
fertilizer
used
to
feed
that
creates
separate
environmental
problems.
Focus
on
eating
lower
on
the
food
chain,with
more
plants
and
fruits
and
less
meat
and
dairy.It’s
simple.We
can
change
today
what
goes
into
our
bodies
for
the
health
of
our
planet
and
ourselves.

D
Since
the
first
Earth
Day
in
1970,Americans
have
gotten
a
lot
“greener”
toward
the
environment.“We
didn’t
know
at
that
time
that
there
even
was
an
environment,let
alone
that
there
was
a
problem
with
it,”
says
Bruce
Anderson,president
of
Earth
Day
USA.
But
what
began
as
nothing
important
in
public
affairs
has
grown
into
a
social
movement.Business
people,political
leaders,university
professors,and
especially
millions
of
grass-roots
Americans
are
taking
part
in
the
movement.“The
understanding
has
increased
many,many
times,”
says
Gaylord
Nelson,the
former
governor
from
Wisconsin,who
thought
up
the
first
Earth
Day.
According
to
US
government
reports,emissions
(排放)
from
cars
and
trucks
have
dropped
from
10.3
million
tons
a
year
to
5.5
million
tons.The
number
of
cities
producing
CO
beyond
the
standard
has
been
reduced
from
40
to
9.Although
serious
problems
still
remain
and
need
to
be
dealt
with,the
world
is
a
safer
and
healthier
place.A
kind
of
“green
thinking”
has
become
part
of
practices.
Great
improvement
has
been
achieved.In
1988
there
were
only
600
recycling
programs;today
in
1995
there
are
about
6,600.Advanced
lights,motors,and
building
designs
have
helped
save
a
lot
of
energy
and
therefore
prevented
pollution.
Twenty-five
years
ago,there
were
hardly
any
education
programs
for
environment.Today,it’s
hard
to
find
a
public
school,university,or
law
school
that
does
not
have
such
a
kind
of
program.“Until
we
do
that,nothing
else
will
change!”
says
Bruce
Anderson.
【语篇解读】
本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了自从1970年的第一个“地球日”以来,
美国人在环保问题认识上的变化以及他们采取了一些有效措施积极应对环境问题等。文章最后还指出了教育在环保方面的重要性。
32.According
to
Anderson,before
1970,Americans
had
little
idea
about
.?
A.the
social
movement
B.recycling
techniques
C.environmental
problems
D.the
importance
of
Earth
Day
答案C
解析根据第一段中的“We
didn’t
know
at
that
time
that
there
even
was
an
environment,let
alone
that
there
was
a
problem
with
it”可知,当时美国人对环境问题没有足够的认识,因此应选择C项。
33.Where
does
the
support
for
environmental
protection
mainly
come
from?
A.The
grass-roots
level.
B.The
business
circle.
C.Government
officials.
D.University
professors.
答案A
解析根据第二段第二句“Business
people,political
leaders,university
professors,and
especially
millions
of
grass-roots
Americans
are
taking
part
in
the
movement”可知,这里强调了这个运动的支持者应该是那些普通的美国民众,因此答案应是A项The
grass-roots
level,从而排除前面提到的那几类人。
34.What
have
Americans
achieved
in
environmental
protection?
A.They
have
cut
car
emissions
to
the
lowest.
B.They
have
settled
their
environmental
problems.
C.They
have
lowered
their
CO
levels
in
forty
cities.
D.They
have
reduced
pollution
through
effective
measures.
答案D
解析文章第三段的第一句说明了汽车和卡车的尾气排放量从每年1,030万吨降到了550万吨,
由此可排除A项;再结合第二句“一氧化碳排放超标的城市从40个降到了9个”可知C项是错误的;根据第三句提到的“环境问题依然严峻”可知这个问题还没有得到解决,
所以排除B项。本段列举的这些数字证明了美国人采取了有效措施,
减少了环境污染,
因此答案选D项。
35.What
is
especially
important
for
environmental
protection
according
to
the
last
paragraph?
A.Education.
B.Planning.
C.Green
living.
D.CO
reduction.
答案A
解析结合最后一段提到的“25年以前,在美国几乎没有关于环境的教育项目,而如今,
很难找到没有类似项目的公立学校、大学或者法学院了”,再结合布鲁斯所说的“没有教育,就无法改变环境问题”等,
我们可以推断出教育(education)的重要性。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Farmers,especially
in
developing
countries,are
often
criticized
for
cutting
down
forests.But
a
new
study
suggests
that
many
farmers
recognize
the
value
in
keeping
trees.
Researchers
using
satellite
images
found
at
least
ten
percent
tree
cover
on
more
than
one
billion
hectares
(公顷)
of
farmland. 36 ?
The
study
found
the
most
tree
cover
in
South
America. 37
North
Africa
and
West
Asia
have
the
least.And
it
also
found
that
climate
conditions
alone
could
not
explain
the
amount
of
tree
cover
in
different
areas. 38 ?
There
are
areas
with
few
trees
but
also
few
people,and
areas
with
many
trees
and
many
people.The
findings
suggest
that
things
like
land
rights,markets
or
government
policies
can
influence
tree
planting
and
protection.
Dennis
Garrity
heads
the
World
Agroforestry
Center. 39
The
problem,he
says,is
that
policy-makers
and
planners
have
been
slow
to
recognize
this
and
to
support
such
efforts.?
The
satellite
images
may
not
show
what
the
farmers
are
using
the
trees
for,but
trees
provide
nuts,fruit,wood
and
other
products.They
provide
windbreaks
and
shade
from
the
sun. 40
Even
under
drought
conditions,trees
can
often
provide
food
and
a
way
to
earn
money
until
the
next
growing
season.?
A.Almost
all
of
it
is
covered
by
trees.
B.That
is
almost
half
the
farmland
in
the
world.
C.They
also
help
prevent
soil
loss
and
protect
water
supplies.
D.He
says
farmers
are
acting
on
their
own
to
protect
and
plant
trees.
E.Next
comes
Africa
south
of
the
Sahara,followed
by
Southeast
Asia.
F.He
devotes
most
of
his
time
to
making
people
realize
its
importance.
G.Nor
could
the
size
of
nearby
populations,meaning
people
and
trees
can
live
together.
答案与解析
【语篇解读】农民,特别是发展中国家的农民常常因砍伐森林而备受批评,但是,新的研究表明许多农民知道保护树木的重要性。
36.B 上文谈到有十亿公顷的耕地被至少百分之十的树木覆盖,B项“这几乎占了世界上耕地的一半”符合语境。
37.E 本文主要讲述的是各个洲被树木覆盖的情况,根据“the
most
tree
cover
in
South
America”可知,E项符合语境。
38.G 根据前面的“that
climate
conditions
alone
could
not
explain”可知,G项中的“Nor
could
the
size...”与此衔接自然。
39.D 空前提到了Dennis
Garrity,选项D中的He指的就是Dennis
Garrity。
40.C 上句谈的是树木的作用,C项“防止水土流失和保护水源”也是树木的作用,符合语境。

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。
Diets
have
changed
in
China
—
and
so
too
has
its
top
crop.Since
2011
the
country
56
(grow)
more
corn
than
rice.Corn
production
has
jumped
nearly
125
percent
over
57
past
25
years,while
rice
has
increased
only
7
percent.?
A
taste
for
meat
is
58
(actual)
behind
the
change:An
important
part
of
its
corn
is
used
to
feed
chickens,pigs,and
cattle.Another
reason
for
corn’s
rise:The
government
encourages
farmers
to
grow
corn
instead
of
rice
59
(improve)
water
quality.Corn
uses
less
water
60
rice
and
creates
less
fertilizer
(化肥)
runoff.This
switch
has
decreased
61
(pollute)
in
the
country’s
major
lakes
and
reservoirs
and
made
drinking
water
safer
for
people.?
According
to
the
World
Bank,China
accounts
for
about
30
percent
of
total
62
(globe)
fertilizer
consumption.The
Chinese
Ministry
of
Agriculture
finds
that
between
2005—when
the
government
63
(start)
a
soil-testing
program
64
gives
specific
fertilizer
recommendations
to
farmers—and
2011,fertilizer
use
dropped
by
7.7
million
tons.That
prevented
the
emission
(排放)
of
51.8
million

of
carbon
dioxide.China’s

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。中国近年来根据人们的膳食变化调整农作物种植结构,为全球生态环境保护做出了贡献。
56.has
grown 考查时态和主谓一致。由时间状语since
2011可知句子用现在完成时,主语the
country是第三人称单数,故谓语动词用has
grown。
57.the 考查固定搭配中的定冠词。over
the
past
25
years在过去的25年里。
58.actually 考查词性转换。修饰be
behind
the
change,用形容词actual的副词形式actually。
59.to
improve 考查非谓语动词。此处表示“政府鼓励农民种植玉米而不是水稻来改善水质”,故用不定式作目的状语。
60.than 考查连词。由句中的比较级less可知,此处将玉米和水稻进行比较,故填than。
61.pollution 考查词性转换。decrease“降低,减少”,后接名词作宾语,pollute的名词形式是pollution。
62.global 考查词性转换。修饰名词短语fertilizer
consumption应用形容词,名词globe的形容词形式是global。
63.started 考查时态。由2005可知事情发生在过去,应用一般过去时,故谓语动词用start的过去式started。
64.that/which 考查引导定语从句。分析句子结构可知,所填词引导定语从句,修饰指物的a
soil-testing
program且在从句中作主语,故用that或which。
65.feeding 考查非谓语动词。China与feed是主动关系,所以用“连词+现在分词”形式作状语。

参考范文
Dear
Tom,
I’m
delighted
to
learn
that
you
are
interested
in
our
tree-planting
activity.
The
activity
is
held
annually
with
different
themes.This
year’s
theme
is
“Building
a
Green
Home”.The
activity
was
held
on
March
12,our
National
Tree-planting
Day.Early
in
the
morning,all
the
teachers
and
students
gathered
on
the
West
Hill,where
we
spent
the
whole
morning
digging,planting
and
watering.Eventually
about
200
trees
were
planted.Seeing
the
trees
waving
in
the
warm
wind,we
all
felt
excited
and
proud
despite
tiredness.
Undoubtedly,we
benefit
a
lot
from
the
activity,which
not
only
brings
us
the
pleasure
of
labor
but
also
helps
us
to
develop
team
spirit.Hopefully
you
can

Jenny
was
a
bright-eyed,pretty
five-year-old
girl.
One
day
when
she
and
her
mother
were
at
the
grocery
store
(杂货店),Jenny
saw
a
plastic
pearl(珍珠)necklace
priced
at
$2.50.How
she
wanted
that
necklace,and
when
she
asked
her
mother
if
she
would
buy
it
for
her,her
mother
said,“Well,it
is
a
pretty
necklace,but
it
costs
an
awful
lot
of
money.I’ll
tell
you
what.I’ll
buy
you
the
necklace,and
when
we
get
home
we
can
make
up
a
list
of
housework
that
you
can
do
to
pay
for
the
necklace.And
don’t
forget
that
for
your
birthday
Grandma
might
give
you
a
whole
dollar
bill,too.Okay?”
Jenny
agreed,and
her
mother
bought
the
pearl
necklace
for
her.
Jenny
worked
on
her
housework
very
hard
every
day,and
sure
enough,her
grandma
gave
her
a
dollar
bill
for
her
birthday.Soon
Jenny
had
paid
off
the
pearls.How
Jenny
loved
those
pearls.She
wore
them
everywhere
to
kindergarten,bed
and
when
she
went
out
with
her
mother.
The
only
time
she
didn’t
wear
them
was
in
the
shower.Her
mother
had
told
her
that
they
would
turn
her
neck
green!
Jenny
had
a
very
loving
daddy.When
Jenny
went
to
bed,he
would
get
up
from
his
favourite
chair
every
night
and
read
Jenny
her
favourite
story.
One
night
when
he
finished
the
story,he
said,“Jenny,do
you
love
me?”
“Oh
yes,Daddy,you
know
I
love
you,”
the
little
girl
said.“Well,then,give
me
your
pearls.”
“Oh!Daddy,not
my
pearls!”
Jenny
said.“But
you
can
have
beautiful,my
favourite
doll.Remember
her?You
gave
her
to
me
last
year
for
my
birthday.And
you
can
have
her
tea
party
outfit(全套装备),too.Okay?”
“Oh
no,darling,that’s
okay.”
Her
father
brushed
her
cheek
with
a
kiss.“Good
night,little
one.”
