similar

I’m
finding
the

awful.

W:
Welcome
to
our
program,
Dr.
Peterson.
Let’s
see
what
questions
we’ve
got
for
you
today.
Here’s
one:
Can
cats
see
color?
M:
Sort
of.
In
the
wild,
many
cats
hunt
at
night
because
their
eyes
are
designed
for
low
light.
Your
cat
can’t
see
bright
colors
such
as
red
and
green.
⑩But
it
picks
up
more
shades
of
blue,
yellow,
and
grey
than
humans
do.
W:
And
why
do
cats
give
dead
birds
to
their
owners?
M:
When
your
cat
drops
a
dead
bird
at
your
feet,
she
isn’t
bringing
you
a
present.
Most
cats
just
drag
food
home
because
it’s
a
safe
place
to
eat.
A
cat’s
mom
also
brings
home
things
to
her
children
to
help
them
practice
hunting.
So,
a
female
cat
without
children
may
bring
these
“treats”
to
her
owner
instead.
You
may
not
like
them,
but
at
least
you
don’t
have
to
write
her
a
thank-you
note.

W:
How
is
little
Ed
doing
at
the
kindergarten,
Jack?
M:
Oh,
he’s
doing
fairly
well.
It’s
been
three
weeks
since
he
first
started
going,
so
Macy
and
I
are
pretty
used
to
it
now.
You
should
have
seen
Macy
cry
when
Ed
was
about
to
set
off
on
the
first
day,
though.
W:
I
think
that’s
a
normal
reaction
for
mothers.
You
live
quite
close
to
the
kindergarten,
don’t
you?
How
does
he
get
there?
M:
Macy
walks
there
with
him
every
morning
unless
the
weather
is
bad.
When
it
rains,
they’ll
drive.
W:
And
is
Ed
enjoying
kindergarten?
M:
Yeah,
he
loves
to
have
other
kids
to
play
with.
He
keeps
telling
us
things
they
do
together.
W:
What
do
the
teachers
at
the
kindergarten
say
about
him?
M:
They
said
he’s
bright,
and
that
he’s
starting
to
learn
how
to
tell
time.
Isn’t
that
fantastic?
W:
That
is
fantastic.
It
sounds
like
everything
goes
well.

W:
My
name
is
Emily.
I
had
been
a
dancer
for
quite
a
long
time.
I
started
studying
ballet
when
I
was
six
years
old.
By
the
time
I
was
nine,
I
was
dancing
five
days
a
week.
When
I
was
eighteen,
I
decided
that
I
really
preferred
contemporary
dance
and
that
I
wanted
to
do
it
professionally.
So
I
applied
successfully
for
the
training
program
at
the
School
of
Toronto
Dance
Theater,
and
moved
to
Toronto
to
attend
the
program.
That
was
the
period
of
time
I
enjoyed
most
in
Toronto.
I
graduated
on
scholarship
and
danced
professionally
for
ten
years.
But
after
all
those
years,
I
found
that
dance
was
gradually
becoming
something
that
felt
like
more
of
a
burden
than
a
joy.
I
found
myself
increasingly
unwilling
to
drag
myself
to
dance
performances,
so
I
quit.
I
do
miss
dance
often.
But
it
makes
me
happy
to
think
that
I’ll
never
have
to
go
to
another
training
session
again.

A
These
patients
deserve
a
chance
at
a
normal,happy
future
and
they
rely
on
the
kindness
of
strangers
to
make
that
happen.
Isabelle
is
the
daughter
of
Daisy
and
Saman
Mirzaei.In
January
2008
Isabelle
was
diagnosed
with
a
genetic
blood
disorder,beta
thalassemia.Isabelle’s
body
is
unable
to
produce
healthy
red
blood
cells.As
a
result,Isabelle
has
been
receiving
blood
transfusions
every
4—6
weeks
since
she
was
11
months
old.A
lifetime
of
regular
transfusions
can
lead
to
serious
medical
problems.Her
only
chance
at
a
normal,healthy
life
is
to
have
a
marrow
transplant.Isabelle
is
an
only
child,so
doctors
have
started
a
search
for
an
unrelated
marrow
donor
through
the
Be
The
Match
Registry.The
Mirzaei
family
asks
that
you
consider
helping
patients
like
Isabelle
by
registering
to
be
a
marrow
donor
and
give
the
gift
of
life,the
gift
of
blood.

Would
it
surprise
you
to
learn
that,
like
animals,trees
communicate
with
each
other
and
pass
on
their
wealth
to
the
next
generation?
UBC
Professor
Simard
explains
how
trees
are
much
more
complex
than
most
of
us
ever
imagined.Although
Charles
Darwin
thought
that
trees
are
competing
for
survival
of
the
fittest,Simard
shows
just
how
wrong
he
was.In
fact,the
opposite
is
true:trees
survive
through
their
co-operation
and
support,passing
around
necessary
nutrition“depending
on
who
needs
it”.
Nitrogen
and
carbon
are
shared
through
miles
of
underground
fungi
networks,making
sure
that
all
trees
in
the
forest
ecological
system
give
and
receive
just
the
right
amount
to
keep
them
all
healthy.This
hidden
system
works
in
a
very
similar
way
to
the
networks
of
neurons
in
our
brains,and
when
one
tree
is
destroyed,it
affects
all.
Simard
talks
about“mother
trees”,usually
the
largest
and
oldest
plants
on
which
all
other
trees
depend.She
explains
how
dying
trees
pass
on
the
wealth
to
the
next
generation,transporting
important
minerals
to
young
trees
so
they
may
continue
to
grow.When
humans
cut
down“mother
trees”with
no
awareness
of
these
highly
complex“tree
societies”or
the
networks
on
which
they
feed,we
are
reducing
the
chances
of
survival
for
the
entire
forest.
“We
didn’t
take
any
notice
of
it,”Simard
says
sadly.“Dying
trees
move
nutrition
into
the
young
trees
before
dying,but
we
never
give
them
chance.”If
we
could
put
across
the
message
to
the
forestry
industry,we
could
make
a
huge
difference
towards
our
environmental
protection
efforts
for
the
future.
24.The
underlined
sentence“the
opposite
is
true”in
Paragraph
2
probably
means
that
trees .
A.provide
support
for
dying
trees
B.protect
their
own
wealth
C.depend
on
each
other
D.compete
for
survival
25.“Mother
trees”are
extremely
important
because
they .
A.look
the
largest
in
size
in
the
forest
B.pass
on
nutrition
to
young
trees
C.seem
more
likely
to
be
cut
down
by
humans
D.know
more
about
the
complex“tree
societies”
26.The
underlined
word“it”in
the
last
paragraph
refers
to .
A.how“tree
societies”work
B.how
trees
grow
old
C.how
forestry
industry
develops
D.how
young
trees
survive
27.What
would
be
the
best
title
for
the
passage?
A.Trees
Contribute
To
Our
Society
B.Young
Trees
Are
In
Need
Of
Protection
C.Trees
Are
More
Awesome
Than
You
Think
D.Old
Trees
Communicate
Like
Humans
【答案】
24．C
25．B
26．A
27．C
【解析】
本文主要讲述了与达尔文的“适者生存论”相反的how
tree
societies
work这一新发现。
24【解析】选C。细节理解题。文中第二段提到Charles
Darwin
thought
that
trees
are
competing
for
survival
of
the
fittest(达尔文的适者生存),而UBC
Professor
Simard却认为“正好相反”,下文接着论述树木是如何相互依赖以达到生存目的的。故C项表述正确。
25【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的Simard
talks
about“mother
trees”,usually
the
largest
and
oldest
plants
on
which
all
other
trees
depend.可知,mother
trees是其他树木的依靠,下文接着提到...how
dying
trees
pass
on
the
wealth
to
the
next
generation,transporting
important
minerals
to
young
trees
so
they
may
continue
to
grow.故B项“给幼树提供营养”正确。
26【解析】选A。词义猜测题。“We
didn’t
take
any
notice
ofit,”Simard
says
sadly.是对上面一个段落中提到的mother
trees如何传递营养给幼树的一个解释和说明,是承接上段的内容,故it指的是“树木家族如何运转、传递营养”这一内容。
27【解析】选C。主旨大意题。本文主要讲述how“tree
societies”work这一新发现。故C项正确。
C
You’ve
flown
halfway
around
the
world;you’ve
sniffed
out
this
place
that
nobody
in
Falongland
or
Thailand
seems
to
have
ever
heard
of;so
what
on
earth
is
there
to
do
here?You
consider
this
question
as
you
sink
into
an
old
wooden
beach
chair
that
holds
you
above

It
was
a
long
journey
from

the
time
you
found
the

station
and
got
yourself
sorted
out,it
took
almost
as
long
as
the
flight
from
Falongland.
Huaplee
is
located
just

Hin,about
two
hundred
kilometres
from
Bangkok,down

side
of
the
Gulf
of
Thailand.Not
many
tourists
find
this
place,and
the
ones
that
do
wonder
if
finding
it
has
been
their
purpose
all
along.
There’s
an
apparent
laziness
that
surrounds
you
here.It’s
what
this
place
offers,and
it’s
free
of
charge.The
small
waves
that
tap
the
shoreline
seem
to
slow
everything
down.You
settle
into
your
beach
chair
in
preparation
for
a
long
rest.You
sit
there
and
watch
the
sea.
It’s
early
afternoon,so
the
cook
comes
out
and
asks
what
you’d
like
to
eat
this
evening.Before
long
he’s
rushed
off
to
the
market
to
buy
the
ingredients
for
whatever
it
was
that
you
ordered—every
meal
fresh
and
to
order.No
menu
here.
There
is
no
poolside
noise
here
but
just
that
wonderfully
warm,clear
blue
sea.There’s
no
street
noise.The
only
sounds
are
the
murmurs
of
nature.
For
now
you
just
count
your
blessings,listing
them
in
the
sand
with
your
toe.You
don’t
have
to
worry
about
being
late
for
work.You
don’t
have
to
do
anything.
The
beach
to
your
right
stretches
off
to
the
horizon,slowly
narrowing
to
nothingness
only
to
re-emerge
again
on
your
left,now
steadily
widening
until
it
covers
the
chair
beneath
you.Sand
to
your
left
and
sand
to
your
right;it’s
unbroken,endless.No
start,no
end,just
sand,sun,and
peace.Step
off
it,and
you
re-enter
the
world
of
traffic,stress,work,and
hurry.
Normally
you’re
the
type
who
can’t
sit
still
for
more
than
ten
minutes,but
you’re
on
Huaplee
Lazy
Beach
now
and,in
the
right
frame
of
mind,it
stretches
all
the
way
around
the
world.
“How
could
it
take
me
so
long
to
find
it?”you
wonder.
28.When
the
author
first
went
to
Huaplee
Beach, .
A.he
failed
to
sort
himself
out
B.he
found
it
unworthwhile
C.he
became
sensitive
to
smell
D.he
had
difficulty
in
finding
it
29.What
is
special
about
the
food
service
at
Huaplee
Beach?
A.No
menu.
B.Free
food.
C.Self
service.
D.Quick
delivery.
30.In
the
author’s
opinion,a
tourist
can
enjoy
Huaplee
Beach
most
when
he .
A.sits
in
a
beach
chair
B.forgets
his
daily
routine
C.plans
a
detailed
schedule

pictures
in
the
sand
31.What
does
the
author
imply
by
his
question
at
the
end
of
the
passage?
A.He
shouldn’t
have
spent
so
much
time
on
the
trip.
B.He
should
have
understood
the
wonder
of
nature.
C.He
shouldn’t
have
counted
his
blessings.

【答案】
28．D
29．A
30．B
31．D
【解析】
游览泰国某不知名海滩的所思所感。
28【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据第二段得知作者找到这个地方耗时很长,第三段也有与此相呼应的地方:Not
many
tourists
find
this
place可知这个地方不好找,故选D。
29【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第五段的最后一句“No
menu
here.”得知答案为A。
30【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据第七段和第八段的表述可以逆向推出这些享受的时光的反面是:worry
about
being
late
for
work;traffic,stress,work
and
hurry.这些归结起来即为人们的日常生活规律。而要享受Huaplee
Beach必须抛开这些,故选B。
31【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据最后一句“How
could
it
take
me
so
long
to
find
it?”结合全文所讲的舒适惬意之感,可知作者在感叹与Huaplee
Beach“相见恨晚”。
D
Last
summer,
two
nineteenth-century
cottages
were
rescued
from
remote
farm
fields
in
Montana,to
be
moved
to
an
Art
Deco
building
in
San
Francisco.The
houses
were
made
of
wood.These
cottages
once
housed
early
settlers
as
they
worked
the
dry
Montana
soil;now
they
hold
Twitter
engineers.
The
cottages
could
be
an
example
of
the
industry’s
odd
love
affair
with“low
technology,”a
concept
associated
with
the
natural
world,and
with
old-school
craftsmanship
that
exists
long
before
the
Internet
era.Low
technology
is
not
virtual—so,to
take
advantage
of
it,Internet
companies
have
had
to
get
creative.The
rescued
wood
cottages,fitted
by
hand
in
the
late
eighteen-hundreds,are
an
obvious
example,but
Twitter’s
designs
lie
on
the
extreme
end.Other
companies
are
using
a
broader
interpretation
of
low
technology
that
focuses
on
nature.
Amazon
is
building
three
glass
spheres
filled
with
trees,so
that
employees
can“work
and
socialize
in
a
more
natural,park-like
setting.”At
Google’s
office,an
entire
floor
is
carpeted
in
glass.Facebook’s
second
Menlo
Park
campus
will
have
a
rooftop
park
with
a
walking
trail.
Olle
Lundberg,the
founder
of
Lundberg
Design,has
worked
with
many
tech
companies
over
the
years.“We
have
lost
the
connection
to
the
maker
in
our
lives,and
our
tech
engineers
are
the
ones
who
feel
most
impoverished,because
they’re
surrounded
by
the
digital
world,”he
says.“They’re
looking
for
a
way
to
regain
their
individual
identity,and
we’ve
found
that
introducing
real
crafts
is
one
way
to
do
that.”
Research
has
shown
that
natural
environments
can
restore
our
mental
capacities.In
Japan,patients
are
encouraged
to“forest-bathe,”taking
walks
through
woods
to
lower
their
blood
pressure.
These
health
benefits
apply
to
the
workplace
as
well.Rachel
Kaplvin,a
professor
of
environmental
psychology,has
spent
years
researching
the
restorative
effects
of
natural
environments.Her
research
found
that
workers
with
access
to
nature
at
the
office—even
simple
views
of
trees
and
flowers—felt
their
jobs
were
less
stressful
and
more
satisfying.If
low-tech
offices
can
potentially
nourish
the
brains
and
improve
the
mental
health
of
employees
then,fine,bring
on
the
cottages.
32.The
writer
mentions
the
two
nineteenth-century
cottages
to
show
that .
A.early
settlers
once
suffered
from
a
dry
climate
in
Montana
B.old
cottages
are
in
need
of
protection
C.Twitter
is
having
a
hard
time
D.Internet
companies
have
rediscovered
the
benefits
of
low
technology
33.Low
technology
is
regarded
as
something
that .
A.is
related
to
nature
B.is
out
of
date
today
C.consumes
too
much
energy
D.exists
in
the
virtual
world
34.The
writer’s
attitude
to“low
technology”can
best
be
described
as .
A.positive
B.defensive
C.cautious
D.doubtful
35.What
might
be
the
best
title
for
the
passage?
A.The
More
Craftsmanship,the
Less
Creativity
B.The
Virtual
World,the
Real
Challenge
C.High-tech
Companies,Low-tech
Offices
D.Past
Glories,Future
Dreams
【答案】
32．D
33．A
34．A
35．C
【解析】
本文主要讲述了现代高科技公司在注重开发高科技的同时,在办公环境、耗材等方面更加注重环境保护。
32【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第二段中的Low
technology
is
not
virtual—so,to
take
advantage
of
it,Internet
companies
have
had
to
get
creative.可知,作者提到19世纪的两个农舍式的小屋的目的在于引出下文因特网公司受到启发,而重新看到了low
technology的益处。
33【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第三段首句Amazon
is
building
three
glass
spheres
filled
with
trees,so
that
employees
can“work
and
socialize
in
a
more
natural,park-like
setting.”可知,low
technology是与大自然紧密相连的,其办公场所等的设计初衷就在于与大自然成为一体。
34【解析】选A。观点态度题。通篇文章在讲述low
technology应用的有利之处,如Research
has
shown
that
natural
environments
can
restore
our
mental
capacities.由此可知,作者对于low
technology的态度是积极的、支持的,故A项正确。
35【解析】选C。主旨大意题。本文通过提到19世纪的两个农舍式小屋从而引出了对于low
technology的阐述,尤其是提到Internet
companies对于low
technology的充分利用,故C项正确。
第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Sometimes
we
decide
that
a
little
unnecessary
danger
is
worth
it
because
when
we
weigh
the
risk
and
the
reward,
the
risk
seems
worth
taking. 36 Some
of
us
enjoy
activities
that
would
surprise
and
scare
the
rest
of
us.
Why?
Experts
say
it
may
have
to
do
with
how
our
brains
work.
The
reason
why
any
of
us
take
any
risks
at
all
might
have
to
do
with
early
humans.
Risk-takers
were
better
at
hunting,
fighting,
or
exploring. 37 As
the
quality
of
risk-taking
was
passed
from
one
generation
to
the
next,
humans
ended
up
with
a
sense
of
adventure
and
a
tolerance
for
risk.
So
why
aren’t
we
all
jumping
out
of
airplanes
then?
Well,
even
200,000
years
ago,
too
much
risk-taking
could
get
one
killed.
A
few
daring
survived,
though,
along
with
a
few
stay-in-the-cave
types.
As
a
result,
humans
developed
a
range
of
character
types
that
still
exists
today.
So
maybe
you
love
car
racing,
or
maybe
you
hate
it. 38
No
matter
where
you
are
on
the
risk-seeking
range,
scientists
say
that
your
willingness
to
take
risks
increases
during
your
teenage
years. 39 To
help
you
do
that,
your
brain
increases
your
hunger
for
new
experiences.
New
experiences
often
mean
taking
some
risks,
so
your
brain
raises
your
tolerance
for
risk
as
well.
40 For
the
risk-seekers,
a
part
of
the
brain
related
to
pleasure
becomes
active,
while
for
the
rest
of
us,
a
part
of
the
brain
related
to
fear
becomes
active.
As
experts
continue
to
study
the
science
of
risk-seeking,
we’ll
continue
to
hit
the
mountains,
the
waves
or
the
shallow
end
of
the
pool.
A.It
all
depends
on
your
character.
B.These
well-equipped
people
survived
because
they
were
the
fittest.
C.Being
better
at
those
things
meant
a
greater
chance
of
survival.
D.Those
are
the
risks
you
should
jump
to
take.
E.This
is
when
you
start
to
move
away
from
your
family
and
into
the
bigger
world.
F.However,we
are
not
all
using
the
same
reference
standard
to
weigh
risks
and
rewards.
G.New
brain
research
suggests
our
brains
work
differently
when
we
face
a
nervous
situation.
【答案】
36．F
37．C
38．A
39．E
40．G
【解析】
【文章大意】本文是一篇论说文,文章论述了冒险和回报的关系:冒险行为与大脑的工作机制有关,当大脑的快乐中枢被激活时,人们就会采取冒险行为。
36.【解析】选F。考查逻辑关系。前句提到了weigh
the
risk
and
the
reward,F项表示“然而,并不是所有的人都使用相同的标准来权衡风险和回报”,符合上下文逻辑,故选择F项。
37.【解析】选C。考查逻辑关系。前句说明hunting,fighting,or
exploring是早期人类生存的必要条件,C项中的those正是指代这些活动。
38.【解析】选A。考查逻辑关系。根据humans
developed
a
range
of
character
types...可知,人们形成的不同性格如今仍然存在,正是不同的性格类型才导致了我们对冒险行为采取不同的态度,故选择A项。
39.【解析】选E。考查逻辑关系。E项中的when与your
willingness
to
take
risks
increases
during
your
teenage
years中的teenage
years相对应,故选择E项。
40.【解析】选G。考查段落主旨。根据后面的句子可知,本段是有关冒险行为与大脑的关系,故选择G项。

__43__．

tantrum
to
__45__
her

buy
it.
They
were
back

__46__
from

__47__.
“Dangerous？”

had
said.
“You
just
don't
want

to
have
__48__.
I'm
going
and
if

try
to
stop
me,
I'll
scream.”
“What

go
out
there
you'll
be
__52__，”
the

Diane
slipped

began
rolling

it
became
harder
to
__54__

the
current.
Saltwater
hit
against
her
face,
making
it
__55__
to
breathe.
Oh,
why
had
she
not
listened
to
advice?
Panicking,
she
began
to
__56__.
Then,
just
as
it
seemed
as
if
she
would
slip
beneath
the
surface,
she
heard
a
__57__
voice.
“Hold
on!
I'm
coming.”
With

“I
hope
you've
learned
a
lesson.
You
put
us
both

【解析】
本文为一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一个任性的女孩，喜欢一意孤行。在有暴风雨的日子不听大人的劝告，非得去潜水，结果遭遇了危险，好在有人相救，让女孩不胜感激，也从中得到了教训。
41.D考查代词辨析及语境理解。由第一句可知Diane
Ray非常自私并且被宠坏了，因此父母应该给她一切她想要的东西。
42.
B考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。该空所在句的句意为“如果她的要求得不到满足，她就会尖叫、踢打以及躺在地上敲打着她的脚后跟。”故选B项，其余三项不合常理。
43.C考查动词短语辨析及语境理解。该空所在句的意思是：“她的父母总是屈服。”由前文知道她总发脾气，让父母没办法，只好屈服。give
in意为“屈服”，符合语境。
44.A考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。该空所在句的意思是：“那是为什么她穿着昂贵的泳装，独自在沙滩上的原因。”此题关键在于对该空后面的对应词swimsuit的理解。
45.C考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。该空所在句的句意为：“她耍了一个大脾气让父母买的。”C选项“get”，有说服之意，符合语境。
46.B考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。该空所在句的句意为：“在发过脾气之后恢复过来。”联系上下文可知，在发过脾气恢复正常之后，父母才能劝说她。
47.A考查副词辨析及语境理解。该空所在句的意思是：“独自去潜水太危险了。”由本段第一句“…why
she
was
alone…”可知答案。
48.D考查名词的用法及搭配。该空所在句的句意为“你们只是不想让我玩得高兴。”have
fun意为“玩得高兴”，符合语境。
49.B考查语境。该空所在句的句意为：“直到这个人说话，她才知道这个人在那儿。”
not…until…意为“直到……才……”，符合语境。
50.C考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。那个人说的“你今天不应该来游泳”以及“暴风雨就要来了”是建议，故选C项。
51.A考查名词词义辨析及搭配。由前文知道她的性格，可知，她应该是说“你少管闲事”。mind
one's
own
business意为“少管闲事”，符合语境。
52.B考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。该空所在句的句意为：“如果你去那儿，你会后悔的。”sorry意为“后悔的”，符合语境。
53.D考查副词词义辨析及语境理解。该空所在句的句意为：“她溜下水，开心地潜水。”happily意为“开心地”，符合语境。
54.B考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。该空所在句的句意为：“白色泡沫开始卷入，并且很难逆着水流游动。”由语境可知swim合适。
55.A考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。该空所在句的句意为：“海水打在她的脸上，让她难以呼吸。”根据常识可知正确答案是A项。
56.D考查动词词义辨析及语境理解。该空所在句的句意为：“惊慌中，她开始尖叫。”由前后文可知，她遭遇了危险，应该会大声尖叫。
57.A考查形容词词义辨析及语境理解。该空所在句的意思是：“她听到一个镇静的声音。”由前文可知，那个人知道她去游泳了，以及后文可知他准备好了船来救她，以及他说的打算让她得到一个教训，可知那人是有备而来，因此此刻的声音应该是镇静的。
58.
B考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。有人来相救，应该是松了一口气。relief意为“轻松，宽慰”，符合语境。注意ease意为“轻松，舒适”，不合语境。
59.C考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。在有暴风雨的日子来到海上，对于彼此来说都是危险的。
60.D考查名词词义辨析及语境理解。由前文提到的老人划船来救她，故此处应该是把她拖到船的一边。

In
early
January
this
year，the
rate
of
UFO
reports
were
steady，around
four
per
weeks.When，however，on
Monday，January
16，a
science
fiction
film
about
visitors
to
outer
space
was
shown
on
television，there
was
the
immediate
increase
in
reports
of
sightings
from
all
parts
of
the
States.The
commanding
officer,
Wayne
Tyler，who
directly
responsible
for
the
study
of
all
such
reports，decided
to
making
his
findings
known.They
wrote
an
article，which
said
that
all
UFO
reports
could
be
explained
for
quite
naturally
by
aircraft
movements.Follow
this
explanation，there
was
a
rapid
drop
in
the
number
of
reported
sightings，although
the
rate
remained
above
the
previously
level.
【解析】
71.
were
→
was主语为the
rate，因此谓语动词用单数。
72.
weeks
→
week“每周”的表达为per
week，此处用单数形式。
73.
to
→
from表“来自”要用from。
74.
the
→
an这里泛指量的增长，需使用不定冠词。immediate读音为元音音素开头，故应用不定冠词an。
75.
who后增加was/
is构成结构be
responsible
for
为……负责。
76.
making
→
make动词decide后常跟不定式作宾语，因此用to
make结构。
77.
They
→
He此处指代的是Wayne
Tyler这个人，因此用He。
78.
去掉for explain为及物动词，其后可直接跟宾语(即该被动句的主语all
UFO
reports)，故去掉for。
79.
follow

following此处是现在分词短语作伴随状语。
80.
previously

Conflicts
with
others
are
common
in
everyday
life.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Conflicts_with_others_are_common_in_everyday_life.
During
the
footballl
game
yesterday
afternoon,
Xiao
Ming
and
Xiao
Li
bumped
into
each
other,
trying
to
kick
the
ball.
Then
they
started
shouting
and
yelling,
and
it
turned
into
a
horrible
quarrel.
To
be
honest,
it
was
Ming'
s
fault
but
Li
was
also
to
blame—they
were
not
calm
enough
and
both
said
some
really
mean
things.
They
cared
too
much
about
winning
and
losing.
As
a
matter
of
fact，blocking,
pushing
and
bumping
are
just
part
of
a
tough
game.
To
avoid
such
conflicts,
we
should
be
kind
to
one
another,
which
is
essential
to
enjoying
a
harmonious
life.
It
is
also
a
virtue
to
forgive
and
forget,
especially
in
such
a
competitive
and
stressful
society.
Instead
of
blaming
each
other,
we
should
communicate
more
and
put
ourselves
in
others'
place.
Don'
t
be
self?centered
and
try
to
be
considerate.
We
must
learn
to
handle
conflicts
calmly
and
wisely.

These
patients
deserve
a
chance
at
a
normal,happy
future
and
they
rely
on
the
kindness
of
strangers
to
make
that
happen.
Isabelle
is
the
daughter
of
Daisy
and
Saman
Mirzaei.In
January
2008
Isabelle
was
diagnosed
with
a
genetic
blood
disorder,beta
thalassemia.Isabelle’s
body
is
unable
to
produce
healthy
red
blood
cells.As
a
result,Isabelle
has
been
receiving
blood
transfusions
every
4—6
weeks
since
she
was
11
months
old.A
lifetime
of
regular
transfusions
can
lead
to
serious
medical
problems.Her
only
chance
at
a
normal,healthy
life
is
to
have
a
marrow
transplant.Isabelle
is
an
only
child,so
doctors
have
started
a
search
for
an
unrelated
marrow
donor
through
the
Be
The
Match
Registry.The
Mirzaei
family
asks
that
you
consider
helping
patients
like
Isabelle
by
registering
to
be
a

donor
and
give
the
gift
of
life,the
gift
of
blood.

Would
it
surprise
you
to
learn
that,
like
animals,trees
communicate
with
each
other
and
pass
on
their
wealth
to
the
next
generation?
UBC
Professor
Simard
explains
how
trees
are
much
more
complex
than
most
of
us
ever
imagined.Although
Charles
Darwin
thought
that
trees
are
competing
for
survival
of
the
fittest,Simard
shows
just
how
wrong
he
was.In
fact,the
opposite
is
true:trees
survive
through
their
co-operation
and
support,passing
around
necessary
nutrition“depending
on
who
needs
it”.
Nitrogen
and
carbon
are
shared
through
miles
of
underground
fungi
networks,making
sure
that
all
trees
in
the
forest
ecological
system
give
and
receive
just
the
right
amount
to
keep
them
all
healthy.This
hidden
system
works
in
a
very
similar
way
to
the
networks
of
neurons
in
our
brains,and
when
one
tree
is
destroyed,it
affects
all.
Simard
talks
about“mother
trees”,usually
the
largest
and
oldest
plants
on
which
all
other
trees
depend.She
explains
how
dying
trees
pass
on
the
wealth
to
the
next
generation,transporting
important
minerals
to
young
trees
so
they
may
continue
to
grow.When
humans
cut
down“mother
trees”with
no
awareness
of
these
highly
complex“tree
societies”or
the
networks
on
which
they
feed,we
are
reducing
the
chances
of
survival
for
the
entire
forest.
“We
didn’t
take
any
notice
of
it,”Simard
says
sadly.“Dying
trees
move
nutrition
into
the
young
trees
before
dying,but
we
never
give
them
chance.”If
we
could
put
across
the
message
to
the
forestry
industry,we
could
make
a
huge
difference
towards
our
environmental
protection
efforts
for
the
future.
24.The
underlined
sentence“the
opposite
is
true”in
Paragraph
2
probably
means
that
trees .
A.provide
support
for
dying
trees
B.protect
their
own
wealth
C.depend
on
each
other
D.compete
for
survival
25.“Mother
trees”are
extremely
important
because
they .
A.look
the
largest
in
size
in
the
forest
B.pass
on
nutrition
to
young
trees
C.seem
more
likely
to
be
cut
down
by
humans
D.know
more
about
the
complex“tree
societies”
26.The
underlined
word“it”in
the
last
paragraph
refers
to .
A.how“tree
societies”work
B.how
trees
grow
old
C.how
forestry
industry
develops
D.how
young
trees
survive
27.What
would
be
the
best
title
for
the
passage?
A.Trees
Contribute
To
Our
Society
B.Young
Trees
Are
In
Need
Of
Protection
C.Trees
Are
More
Awesome
Than

D.Old

You’ve
flown
halfway
around
the
world;you’ve
sniffed
out
this
place
that
nobody
in
Falongland
or
Thailand
seems
to
have
ever
heard
of;so
what
on
earth
is
there
to
do
here?You
consider
this
question
as
you
sink
into
an
old
wooden
beach
chair
that
holds
you
above
the
sand.
It
was
a
long
journey
from
Bangkok
to
Huaplee.By
the
time
you
found
the
bus
station
and
got
yourself
sorted
out,it
took
almost
as
long
as
the
flight
from
Falongland.
Huaplee
is
located
just
south
of
Hua
Hin,about
two
hundred
kilometres
from
Bangkok,down
the
west
side
of
the
Gulf
of
Thailand.Not
many
tourists
find
this
place,and
the
ones
that
do
wonder
if
finding
it
has
been
their
purpose
all
along.
There’s
an
apparent
laziness
that
surrounds
you
here.It’s
what
this
place
offers,and
it’s
free
of
charge.The
small
waves
that
tap
the
shoreline
seem
to
slow
everything
down.You
settle
into
your
beach
chair
in
preparation
for
a
long
rest.You
sit
there
and
watch
the
sea.
It’s
early
afternoon,so
the
cook
comes
out
and
asks
what
you’d
like
to
eat
this
evening.Before
long
he’s
rushed
off
to
the
market
to
buy
the
ingredients
for
whatever
it
was
that
you
ordered—every
meal
fresh
and
to
order.No
menu
here.
There
is
no
poolside
noise
here
but
just
that
wonderfully
warm,clear
blue
sea.There’s
no
street
noise.The
only
sounds
are
the
murmurs
of
nature.
For
now
you
just
count
your
blessings,listing
them
in
the
sand
with
your
toe.You
don’t
have
to
worry
about
being
late
for
work.You
don’t
have
to
do
anything.
The
beach
to
your
right
stretches
off
to
the
horizon,slowly
narrowing
to
nothingness
only
to
re-emerge
again
on
your
left,now
steadily
widening
until
it
covers
the
chair
beneath
you.Sand
to
your
left
and
sand
to
your
right;it’s
unbroken,endless.No
start,no
end,just
sand,sun,and
peace.Step
off
it,and
you
re-enter
the
world
of
traffic,stress,work,and
hurry.
Normally
you’re
the
type
who
can’t
sit
still
for
more
than
ten
minutes,but
you’re
on
Huaplee
Lazy
Beach
now
and,in
the
right
frame
of
mind,it
stretches
all
the
way
around
the
world.
“How
could
it
take
me
so
long
to

Last
summer,
two
nineteenth-century
cottages
were
rescued
from
remote
farm
fields
in
Montana,to
be
moved
to
an
Art
Deco
building
in
San
Francisco.The
houses
were
made
of
wood.These
cottages
once
housed
early
settlers
as
they
worked
the
dry
Montana
soil;now
they
hold
Twitter
engineers.
The
cottages
could
be
an
example
of
the
industry’s
odd
love
affair
with“low
technology,”a
concept
associated
with
the
natural
world,and
with
old-school
craftsmanship
that
exists
long
before
the
Internet
era.Low
technology
is
not
virtual—so,to
take
advantage
of
it,Internet
companies
have
had
to
get
creative.The
rescued
wood
cottages,fitted
by
hand
in
the
late
eighteen-hundreds,are
an
obvious
example,but
Twitter’s
designs
lie
on
the
extreme
end.Other
companies
are
using
a
broader
interpretation
of
low
technology
that
focuses
on
nature.
Amazon
is
building
three
glass
spheres
filled
with
trees,so
that
employees
can“work
and
socialize
in
a
more
natural,park-like
setting.”At
Google’s
office,an
entire
floor
is
carpeted
in
glass.Facebook’s
second
Menlo
Park
campus
will
have
a
rooftop
park
with
a
walking
trail.
Olle
Lundberg,the
founder
of
Lundberg
Design,has
worked
with
many
tech
companies
over
the
years.“We
have
lost
the
connection
to
the
maker
in
our
lives,and
our
tech
engineers
are
the
ones
who
feel
most
impoverished,because
they’re
surrounded
by
the
digital
world,”he
says.“They’re
looking
for
a
way
to
regain
their
individual
identity,and
we’ve
found
that
introducing
real
crafts
is
one
way
to
do
that.”
Research
has
shown
that
natural
environments
can
restore
our
mental
capacities.In
Japan,patients
are
encouraged
to“forest-bathe,”taking
walks
through
woods
to
lower
their
blood
pressure.
These
health
benefits
apply
to
the
workplace
as
well.Rachel
Kaplvin,a
professor
of
environmental
psychology,has
spent
years
researching
the
restorative
effects
of
natural
environments.Her
research
found
that
workers
with
access
to
nature
at
the
office—even
simple
views
of
trees
and
flowers—felt
their
jobs
were
less
stressful
and
more
satisfying.If
low-tech
offices
can
potentially
nourish
the
brains
and
improve
the
mental
health
of
employees
then,fine,bring
on
the
cottages.
32.The
writer
mentions
the
two
nineteenth-century
cottages
to
show
that .
A.early
settlers
once
suffered
from
a
dry
climate
in
Montana
B.old
cottages
are
in
need
of
protection
C.Twitter
is
having
a
hard
time
D.Internet

A.is
related
to
nature
B.is
out
of

C.consumes
too
much
energy

34.The
writer’s
attitude
to“low
technology”can
best

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Sometimes
we
decide
that
a
little
unnecessary
danger
is
worth
it
because
when
we
weigh
the
risk
and
the
reward,
the
risk
seems
worth
taking. 36 Some
of
us
enjoy
activities
that
would
surprise
and
scare
the
rest
of
us.
Why?
Experts
say
it
may
have
to
do
with
how
our
brains
work.
The
reason
why
any
of
us
take
any
risks
at
all
might
have
to
do
with
early
humans.
Risk-takers
were
better
at
hunting,
fighting,
or
exploring. 37 As
the
quality
of
risk-taking
was
passed
from
one
generation
to
the
next,
humans
ended
up
with
a
sense
of
adventure
and
a
tolerance
for
risk.
So
why
aren’t
we
all
jumping
out
of
airplanes
then?
Well,
even
200,000
years
ago,
too
much
risk-taking
could
get
one
killed.
A
few
daring
survived,
though,
along
with
a
few
stay-in-the-cave
types.
As
a
result,
humans
developed
a
range
of
character
types
that
still
exists
today.
So
maybe
you
love
car
racing,
or
maybe
you
hate
it. 38
No
matter
where
you
are
on
the
risk-seeking
range,
scientists
say
that
your
willingness
to
take
risks
increases
during
your
teenage
years. 39 To
help
you
do
that,
your
brain
increases
your
hunger
for
new
experiences.
New
experiences
often
mean
taking
some
risks,
so
your
brain
raises
your
tolerance
for
risk
as
well.
40 For
the
risk-seekers,
a
part
of
the
brain
related
to
pleasure
becomes
active,
while
for
the
rest
of
us,
a
part
of
the
brain
related
to
fear
becomes
active.
As
experts
continue
to
study
the
science
of
risk-seeking,
we’ll
continue
to
hit
the
mountains,
the
waves
or
the
shallow
end
of
the
pool.
A.It
all
depends
on
your
character.
B.These
well-equipped
people
survived
because
they
were
the
fittest.
C.Being
better
at
those
things
meant
a
greater
chance
of
survival.
D.Those
are
the
risks
you
should
jump
to
take.
E.This
is
when
you
start
to
move
away
from
your
family
and
into
the
bigger
world.
F.However,we
are
not
all
using
the
same
reference
standard
to
weigh
risks
and
rewards.
G.New
brain
research
suggests
our
brains
work
differently
when
we
face
a
nervous
situation.

Diane
Ray
was

knowing

throw

tantrum
if

not.
She
would
scream
and
kick
and
__42__
on

floor
drumming
her
heels.
Her
parents
always
__43__．
That
was
why
she
was
alone
on
the
__44__，
wearing
an
expensive
swimsuit.
It
had
taken
a
massive
tantrum
to
__45__
her
parents
to
buy
it.
They
were
back
at
the
beach－house,
__46__
from
the
tantrum
she
had
thrown
when
they
told
her
that
it
was
too
dangerous
to
go
diving
__47__.
“Dangerous？”
she
had
said.
“You
just
don't
want
me
to
have
__48__.
I'm
going
and
if
you
try
to
stop
me,
I'll
scream.”
“What
are
you
doing？”
a
voice
asked.
Diane
jumped.
She
did
not
know
that
the
man
was
there
__49__he
spoke.

”

”
the

__50__.
“There

“You

walked
into
the
gentle

“If

go
out
there
you'll
be

Diane
slipped
into

dived
__53__

white

began
rolling
in
and
it
became
harder
to
__54__
against
the
current.
Saltwater
hit
against
her
face,
making
it
__55__
to
breathe.
Oh,
why
had
she
not
listened
to
advice?
Panicking,
she
began
to
__56__.
Then,
just
as
it
seemed
as
if
she
would
slip
beneath
the
surface,
she
heard
a
__57__
voice.
“Hold
on!
I'm
coming.”
With
__58__，
she
saw
the
old
man
rowing
an
ancient－looking
boat
towards
her.
“I
hope
you've
learned
a
lesson.
You
put
us
both
in
__59__，
”
he
shouted
angrily,
as
he
dragged
her
