Mike
Shepherd
(2011)
Skiddaw
in
Winter
Cumbria,
England
It
was
an
extremely
cold
winter's
evening
and
freezing
fog
hung
in
the
air.
I
climbed
to
the
top
of
a
small
rise
and
realised
that
the
mist
was
little
more
than
a
few
feet
deep,
and
though
it
was
only
a
short
climb,
I
found
myself
completely
above
it
and
looking
at
a
wonderfully
clear
view
of
Skiddaw
with
the
sum
setting
in
the
west.
I
used
classical
techniques,
translated
from
my
college
days
spent
in
the
darkroom
into
Photoshop,
to
achieve
the
black—and—white
image（图像）.
Timothy
Smith
(2014)
Macclesfield
Forest
Cheshire,
England
I
was
back
in
my
home
town
of
Macclesfield
to
take
some
winter
images.
Walking
up
a
path
through
the
forest
towards
Shutlingsloe.
a
local
high
point,
I
came
across
a
small
clearing
and
immediately
noticed
the
dead
yellow
grasses
set
against
the
fresh
snow.
The
small
pine
added
to
the
interest
and
I
placed
it
centrally
to
take
the
view
from
the
foreground
right
through
into
the
forest.

2.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Port
Lympne
Reserve,
which
runs
a
breeding（繁育）programme,
has
welcomed
the
arrival
of
a
rare
black
rhino
calf（犀牛幼息）.
When
the
tiny
creature
arrived
on
January
31,
she
became
the
40th
black
rhino
to
be
born
at
the
reserve.
And
officials
at
Port
Lympne
were
delighted
with
the
new
arrival,
especially
as
black
rhinos
are
known
for
being
difficult
to
breed
in
captivity（圈养）.
Paul
Beer,
head
of
rhino
section
at
Port
Lympne,
said:
"Obviously
we're
all
absolutely
delighted
to
welcome
another
calf
to
our
black
rhino
family.
She's
healthy,
strong
and
already
eager
to
play
and
explore.
Her
mother,
Solio,
is
a
first—time
mum
and
she
is
doing
a
fantastic
job.
It's
still
a
little
too
cold
for
them
to
go
out
into
the
open,
but
as
soon
as
the
weather
warms
up.
I
have
no
doubt
that
the
little
one
will
be
out
and
about
exploring
and
playing
every
day."
The
adorable
female
calf
is
the
second
black
rhino
born
this
year
at
the
reserve,
but
it
is
too
early
to
tell
if
the
calves
will
make
good
candidates
to
be
returned
to
protected
areas
of
the
wild.
The
first
rhino
to
be
born
at
Port
Lympne
arrived
on
January
5
to
first—time
mother
Kisima
and
weighed
about
32
kg.
His
mother,
grandmother
and
great
grandmother
were
all
born
at
the
reserve
and
still
live
there.
According
to
the
World
Wildlife
Fund,
the
global
black
rhino
population
has
dropped
as
low
as
5500,
giving
the
rhinos
a
"critically
endangered"
status.
（1）Which
of
the
following
best
describes
the
breeding
programme?
A.Costly.
B.Controversial.
C.Ambitious.
D.Successful.
（2）What
does
Paul
Beer
say
about
the
new—born
rhino?
A.She
loves
staying
with
her
mother.
B.She
dislikes
outdoor
activities.
C.She
is
in
good
condition
D.She
is
sensitive
to
heat.
（3）What
similar
experience
do
Solio
and
Kisima
have?
A.They
had
their
first
born
in
January.
B.They
enjoyed
exploring
new
places
C.They
lived
with
their
grandmothers.
D.They
were
brought
to
the
reserve
young
（4）What
can
be
inferred
about
Porn—Lympne
Reserve?
A.The
rhino
section
will
be
open
to
the
public.
B.It
aims
to
control
the
number
of
the
animals.
C.It
will
continue
to
work
with
the

3.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
When
I
was
9,
we
packed
up
our
home
in
Los
Angeles
and
arrived
at
Heathrow,
London
on
a
gray
January
morning.
Everyone
in
the
family
settled
quickly
into
the
city
except
me.
Without
my
beloved
beaches
and
endless
blue—sky
days,
I
felt
at
a
loss
and
out
of
place.
Until
I
made
a
discovery.
Southbank,
at
an
eastern
bend
in
the
Thames,
is
the
center
of
British
skateboarding,
where
the
continuous
crashing
of
skateboards
left
your
head
ringing
.I
loved
it.
I
soon
made
friends
with
the
local
skaters.
We
spoke
our
own
language.
And
my
favorite:
Safe.
Safe
meant
cool.
It
meant
hello.
It
meant
don't
worry
about
it.
Once,
when
trying
a
certain
trick
on
the
beam（横杆）,
I
fell
onto
the
stones,
damaging
a
nerve
in
my
hand,
and
Toby
came
over,
helping
me
up:
Safe,
man.
Safe.
A
few
minutes
later,
when
I
landed
the
trick,
my
friends
beat
their
boards
loud,
shouting:
"
Safe!
Safe!
Safe!"
And
that's
what
mattered—landing
tricks,
being
a
good
skater.
When
I
was
15,
my
family
moved
to
Washington.
I
tried
skateboarding
there,
but
the
locals
were
far
less
welcoming.
Within
a
couple
of
years,
I'd
given
it
up.
When
I
returned
to
London
in
2004,
I
found
myself
wandering
down
to
Southbank,
spending
hours
there.
I've
traveled
back
several
times
since,
most
recently
this
past
spring.
The
day
was
cold
but
clear:
tourists
and
Londoners
stopped
to
watch
the
skaters.
Weaving（穿梭）among
the
kids
who
rushed
by
on
their
boards,
I
found
my
way
to
the
beam.
Then
a
rail—thin
teenager,
in
a
baggy
white
T—shirt,
skidded（滑）up
to
the
beam.
He
sat
next
to
me.
He
seemed
not
to
notice
the
man
next
to
him.
But
soon
I
caught
a
few
of
his
glances.
"I
was
a
local
here
20
years
ago,"
I
told
him.
Then,
slowly,
he
began
to
nod
his
head.
"Safe,
man.
Safe."
"Yeah,"
I
said.
"Safe."

felt
disappointed.
B.He
gave
up
his
hobby.
C.He
liked
the
weather
there.
D.He

disagreements

（2）What

the
underlined
words
"Safe!
Safe!
Safe!"
probably
mean?
A.Be
careful!
B.Well
done!
C.No
way!

worry!
（3）Why

author

spend

in
Southbank
when
he
returned
to
London?

join
the
skateboarding.

friends.

4.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Who
is
a
genius?
This
question
has
greatly
interested
humankind
for
centuries.
Let's
state
clearly:
Einstein
was
a
genius.
His
face
is
almost
the
international
symbol
for
genius.
But
we
want
to
go
beyond
one
man
and
explore
the
nature
of
genius
itself.
Why
is
it
that
some
people
are
so
much
more
intelligent
or
creative
than
the
rest
of
us?
And
who
are
they?
In
the
sciences
and
arts,
those
praised
as
geniuses
were
most
often
white
men,
of
European
origin.
Perhaps
this
is
not
a
surprise.
It's
said
that
history
is
written
by
the
victors,
and
those
victors
set
the
standards
for
admission
to
the
genius
club.
When
contributions
were
made
by
geniuses
outside
the
club—women,
or
people
of
a
different
color
or
belief—they
were
unacknowledged
and
rejected
by
others.
A
study
recently
published
by
Science
found
that
as
young
as
age
six,
girls
are
less
likely
than
boys
to
say
that
members
of
their
gender（性别）are
"really,
really
smart."
Even
worse,
the
study
found
that
girls
act
on
that
belief
Around
age
six
they
start
to
avoid
activities
said
to
be
for
children
who
are
"really,
really
smart."
Can
our
planet
afford
to
have
any
great
thinkers
become
discouraged
and
give
up?
It
doesn't
take
a
genius
to
know
the
answer:
absolutely
not.
Here's
the
good
news.
In
a
wired
world
with
constant
global
communication,
we're
all
positioned
to
see
flashes
of
genius
wherever
they
appear.
And
the
more
we
look,
the
more
we
will
see
that
social
factors（因素）like
gender,
race,
and
class
do
not
determine
the
appearance
of
genius.
As
a
writer
says,
future
geniuses
come
from
those
with
"intelligence,
creativity,
perseverance（毅力）,
and
simple
good
fortune,
who
are
able
to
change
the
world."
（1）What
does
the
author
think
of
victors'
standards
for
joining
the
genius
club?
A.They're
unfair.
B.They're
conservative.
C.They're
objective.
D.They're
strict.
（2）What
can
we
infer
about
girls
from
the
study
in
Science?
A.They
think
themselves
smart.
B.They
look
up
to
great
thinkers.
C.They
see
gender
differences
earlier
than
boys.
D.They
are
likely
to
be
influenced
by
social
beliefs
（3）Why
are
more
geniuses
known
to
the
public?
A.Improved
global
communication.
B.Less
discrimination
against
women.
C.Acceptance
of
victors'
concepts.
D.Changes
in
people's
social
positions.
（4）What
is
the
best
title
for
the
text?
A.Geniuses
Think
Alike
B.Genius
Takes
Many
Forms
C.Genius
and
Intelligence
D.Genius
and
Luck

Nick
Burchill
blacklisted
at
the
Fairmont
Empress
Hotel
in
Victoria,
Canada.
Burchill
was
1
?at
the
hotel
on
business
and
planning

?some

They
had
asked

He
thought
his
pepperoni

7
?and

That's
when
things
went

.
"I

Burchill
said
in

letter

?to
the

"The

Older
and
wiser
now,
Burchill
chalked
up
the
incident
to

indiscretion
(莽撞).
"I

Last
week
our
teacher
asked
us
to
fill
in
a
questionnaire.
One
of
the
questions
are：Who
will
you
go
in
times
of
trouble?
Here
are
the
results.
Many
students
say
they
will
talk
to
their
friend
or
classmates
because
they're
of
the
same
age
and
can
understand
each
other.
Some
will
turn
out
to
their
parents
or
teachers
for
help.
Only
a
little
choose
to
deal
with
the
problems
on
our
own.
Their
answers
also
show
that
they
dislike
talk
to
others.
They
kept
very
much
to
themselves.
In
my
opinion,
where
in
trouble,
we
should
seek
help
from
those
we
trust
mostly.
【答案】
①are→is
②go后加to
③friend→friends
④删除turn后的out
⑤little→few
⑥our→their
⑦talk→talking
⑧kept→keep
⑨where→when/whenever
⑩mostly→most
【考点】短文改错
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了关于学生在碰到问题后的解决方式的问卷调查结果。
（1）句意：其中的一个问题是：你遇到麻烦时会去找谁？one
of
the
+名词复数，意为“……之一”，为单数含义，所以其后的系动词应用单数。结合句意，此处指问卷调查中的一个问题，所以为客观事实，时态用一般现在时。故are改为is。
（2）go
to
sb.，固定短语，“求助于某人”相当于短语turn
to
sb.
for
help。故go后加to。
（3）句意：许多同学说他们会和他们的朋友说或同学讲，因为他们是同龄人，能彼此理解。friend“朋友”为可数名词，结合句中their，所以此处要用复数。故friend改为friends。
（4）句意：一些说他们会向他们的父母或老师求助。turn
to
sb.
for
help，固定短语，“向某人求助”，所以此处删除介词out。故删除turn后的out。
（5）句意：只有一些人选择自己解决问题。根据上文“Many
students
say...”及“Some
will
turn...”可知，此处指一些学生。student为可数名词，应用a
few代指。a
little通常代指不可数名词。故little改为few。
（6）on
one's
own，固定短语，“独自”，结合句意可知，此处指学生们独自完成，所以要用代词their。故our改为their。
（7）句意：他们的答案也表明他们不喜欢和其他人说。dislike
doing
sth.，固定短语，“不喜欢做某事”，动名词作宾语。故talk改为talking。
（8）句意：他们很自闭。结合前文可知，文章的时态用一般现在时。故kept改为keep。
（9）句意：在我看来，当我们有麻烦时（无论什么时候我们有麻烦时），我们应该从我们最相信的人们那里寻求帮助。分析可知，本句为含有状语从句的复合句。主句为we
should
seek
help...，从句表示的含义为无论什么时候我们有麻烦或者当我们有麻烦时，所以应用when/whenever引导。故where改为when/whenever。
（10）副词mostly，意为“大多数”；most意为“最”，此处指最相信的人，指程度。故mostly改为most。
【点评】考查短文改错，本题考点涉及主谓一致，名词，副词，代词，非谓语动词，时态，连词等多个知识点的考查，是一篇问卷调查，覆盖面广，综合性强，难度较大，区分度高。

Mike
Shepherd
(2011)
Skiddaw
in
Winter
Cumbria,
England
It
was
an
extremely
cold
winter's
evening
and
freezing
fog
hung
in
the
air.
I
climbed
to
the
top
of
a
small
rise
and
realised
that
the
mist
was
little
more
than
a
few
feet
deep,
and
though
it
was
only
a
short
climb,
I
found
myself
completely
above
it
and
looking
at
a
wonderfully
clear
view
of
Skiddaw
with
the
sum
setting
in
the
west.
I
used
classical
techniques,
translated
from
my
college
days
spent
in
the
darkroom
into
Photoshop,
to
achieve
the
black—and—white
image（图像）.
Timothy
Smith
(2014)
Macclesfield
Forest
Cheshire,
England
I
was
back
in
my
home
town
of
Macclesfield
to
take
some
winter
images.
Walking
up
a
path
through
the
forest
towards
Shutlingsloe.
a
local
high
point,
I
came
across
a
small
clearing
and
immediately
noticed
the
dead
yellow
grasses
set
against
the
fresh
snow.
The
small
pine
added
to
the
interest
and
I
placed
it
centrally
to
take
the
view
from
the
foreground
right
through
into
the
forest.

2.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Port
Lympne
Reserve,
which
runs
a
breeding（繁育）programme,
has
welcomed
the
arrival
of
a
rare
black
rhino
calf（犀牛幼息）.
When
the
tiny
creature
arrived
on
January
31,
she
became
the
40th
black
rhino
to
be
born
at
the
reserve.
And
officials
at
Port
Lympne
were
delighted
with
the
new
arrival,
especially
as
black
rhinos
are
known
for
being
difficult
to
breed
in
captivity（圈养）.
Paul
Beer,
head
of
rhino
section
at
Port
Lympne,
said:
"Obviously
we're
all
absolutely
delighted
to
welcome
another
calf
to
our
black
rhino
family.
She's
healthy,
strong
and
already
eager
to
play
and
explore.
Her
mother,
Solio,
is
a
first—time
mum
and
she
is
doing
a
fantastic
job.
It's
still
a
little
too
cold
for
them
to
go
out
into
the
open,
but
as
soon
as
the
weather
warms
up.
I
have
no
doubt
that
the
little
one
will
be
out
and
about
exploring
and
playing
every
day."
The
adorable
female
calf
is
the
second
black
rhino
born
this
year
at
the
reserve,
but
it
is
too
early
to
tell
if
the
calves
will
make
good
candidates
to
be
returned
to
protected
areas
of
the
wild.
The
first
rhino
to
be
born
at
Port
Lympne
arrived
on
January
5
to
first—time
mother
Kisima
and
weighed
about
32
kg.
His
mother,
grandmother
and
great
grandmother
were
all
born
at
the
reserve
and
still
live
there.
According
to
the
World
Wildlife
Fund,
the
global
black
rhino
population
has
dropped
as
low
as
5500,
giving
the
rhinos
a
"critically
endangered"
status.
（1）Which
of
the
following
best
describes
the
breeding
programme?
A.Costly.
B.Controversial.
C.Ambitious.
D.Successful.
（2）What
does
Paul
Beer
say
about
the
new—born
rhino?
A.She
loves
staying
with
her
mother.
B.She
dislikes
outdoor
activities.
C.She
is
in
good
condition
D.She
is
sensitive
to
heat.
（3）What
similar
experience
do
Solio
and
Kisima
have?
A.They
had
their
first
born
in
January.
B.They
enjoyed
exploring
new
places
C.They
lived
with
their
grandmothers.
D.They
were
brought
to
the
reserve
young
（4）What
can
be
inferred
about
Porn—Lympne
Reserve?
A.The
rhino
section
will
be
open
to
the
public.
B.It
aims
to
control
the
number
of
the
animals.
C.It
will
continue
to
work
with
the
World
Wildlife
Fund.
D.Some
of
its
rhinos
may
be
sent
to
the
protected
wild
areas.
3.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
When
I
was
9,
we
packed
up
our
home
in
Los
Angeles
and
arrived
at
Heathrow,
London
on
a
gray
January
morning.
Everyone
in
the
family
settled
quickly
into
the
city
except
me.
Without
my
beloved
beaches
and
endless
blue—sky
days,
I
felt
at
a
loss
and
out
of
place.
Until
I
made
a
discovery.
Southbank,
at
an
eastern
bend
in
the
Thames,
is
the
center
of
British
skateboarding,
where
the
continuous
crashing
of
skateboards
left
your
head
ringing
.I
loved
it.
I
soon
made
friends
with
the
local
skaters.
We
spoke
our
own
language.
And
my
favorite:
Safe.
Safe
meant
cool.
It
meant
hello.
It
meant
don't
worry
about
it.
Once,
when
trying
a
certain
trick
on
the
beam（横杆）,
I
fell
onto
the
stones,
damaging
a
nerve
in
my
hand,
and
Toby
came
over,
helping
me
up:
Safe,
man.
Safe.
A
few
minutes
later,
when
I
landed
the
trick,
my
friends
beat
their
boards
loud,
shouting:
"
Safe!
Safe!
Safe!"
And
that's
what
mattered—landing
tricks,
being
a
good
skater.
When
I
was
15,
my
family
moved
to
Washington.
I
tried
skateboarding
there,
but
the
locals
were
far
less
welcoming.
Within
a
couple
of
years,
I'd
given
it
up.
When
I
returned
to
London
in
2004,
I
found
myself
wandering
down
to
Southbank,
spending
hours
there.
I've
traveled
back
several
times
since,
most
recently
this
past
spring.
The
day
was
cold
but
clear:
tourists
and
Londoners
stopped
to
watch
the
skaters.
Weaving（穿梭）among
the
kids
who
rushed
by
on
their
boards,
I
found
my
way
to
the
beam.
Then
a
rail—thin
teenager,
in
a
baggy
white
T—shirt,
skidded（滑）up
to
the
beam.
He
sat
next
to
me.
He
seemed
not
to
notice
the
man
next
to
him.
But
soon
I
caught
a
few
of
his
glances.
"I
was
a
local
here
20
years
ago,"
I
told
him.
Then,
slowly,
he
began
to
nod
his
head.
"Safe,
man.
Safe."
"Yeah,"
I
said.
"Safe."
（1）What
can
we

about
the
author
soon
after
he
moved
to
London?
A.He
felt
disappointed.
B.He
gave
up
his
hobby.
C.He
liked
the
weather
there.
D.He

underlined
words
"Safe!
Safe!
Safe!"
probably
mean?
A.Be
careful!
B.Well
done!
C.No
way!

worry!

spend

when

returned
to
London?
A.To
join
the
skateboarding.

make
new
friends.
C.To

should
learn
a
second
language.
B.Sport
is

for
children's
health.

4.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Who
is
a
genius?
This
question
has
greatly
interested
humankind
for
centuries.
Let's
state
clearly:
Einstein
was
a
genius.
His
face
is
almost
the
international
symbol
for
genius.
But
we
want
to
go
beyond
one
man
and
explore
the
nature
of
genius
itself.
Why
is
it
that
some
people
are
so
much
more
intelligent
or
creative
than
the
rest
of
us?
And
who
are
they?
In
the
sciences
and
arts,
those
praised
as
geniuses
were
most
often
white
men,
of
European
origin.
Perhaps
this
is
not
a
surprise.
It's
said
that
history
is
written
by
the
victors,
and
those
victors
set
the
standards
for
admission
to
the
genius
club.
When
contributions
were
made
by
geniuses
outside
the
club—women,
or
people
of
a
different
color
or
belief—they
were
unacknowledged
and
rejected
by
others.
A
study
recently
published
by
Science
found
that
as
young
as
age
six,
girls
are
less
likely
than
boys
to
say
that
members
of
their
gender（性别）are
"really,
really
smart."
Even
worse,
the
study
found
that
girls
act
on
that
belief
Around
age
six
they
start
to
avoid
activities
said
to
be
for
children
who
are
"really,
really
smart."
Can
our
planet
afford
to
have
any
great
thinkers
become
discouraged
and
give
up?
It
doesn't
take
a
genius
to
know
the
answer:
absolutely
not.
Here's
the
good
news.
In
a
wired
world
with
constant
global
communication,
we're
all
positioned
to
see
flashes
of
genius
wherever
they
appear.
And
the
more
we
look,
the
more
we
will
see
that
social
factors（因素）like
gender,
race,
and
class
do
not
determine
the
appearance
of
genius.
As
a
writer
says,
future
geniuses
come
from
those
with
"intelligence,
creativity,
perseverance（毅力）,
and
simple
good
fortune,
who
are
able
to
change
the
world."
（1）What
does
the
author
think
of
victors'
standards
for
joining
the
genius
club?
A.They're
unfair.
B.They're
conservative.
C.They're
objective.
D.They're
strict.
（2）What
can
we
infer
about
girls
from
the
study
in
Science?
A.They
think
themselves
smart.

It's
the
seaside
birds
that
deserve
at
least
part
of
the
blame
for
getting
Nick
Burchill
blacklisted
at
the
Fairmont
Empress
Hotel
in
Victoria,
Canada.
Burchill
was
1
?at
the
hotel
on
business
and
planning
to
2
?some
friends
in
the
area.
They
had
asked
him
to
3
?some
pepperoni
(辣香肠)
from
back
east.
So
he
4
?a
suitcase
full
of
pepperoni.
As
he
was
5
?that
it
would
be
too
warm,
he
6
?it
out
on
the
table
near
an
open
window.
He
thought
his
pepperoni
was
7
?and
well
chilled
(冷却)
and
he
8
?.
That's
when
things
went
9
.
"I
remember
walking
down
the
long
10
?and
opening
the
door
to
my
room
to
find
an
entire
flock
of
seagulls,"
Burchill
said
in
a
recent
letter
of
11
?to
the
4-star
hotel.
"The
seagulls
immediately
went
12
?.
They
rushed
to
the
window,
30
or
40
birds
all
trying
to
13
?at
the
same
time,
and
pepperoni—everywhere.
The
curtains
were
falling
down,
the
lamps
were
falling
down,
It
was
a
real
14
?.
Older
and
wiser
now,
Burchill
chalked
up
the
incident
to
youthful
indiscretion
(莽撞).
"I
have
15
?and
I
admit
responsibility
of
my
16
,"
he
said
in
the
letter.
"I
come
to
you,
17
?,
to
apologize
for
the-damage
I
had
18
?caused
and
to
ask
you
to
19
?my
lifetime
ban
from
the
hotel."

letter

Last
week
our
teacher
asked
us
to
fill
in
a
questionnaire.
One
of
the
questions
are：Who
will
you
go
in
times
of
trouble?
Here
are
the
results.
Many
students
say
they
will
talk
to
their
friend
or
classmates
because
they're
of
the
same
age
and
can
understand
each
other.
Some
will
turn
out
to
their
parents
or
teachers
for
help.
Only
a
little
choose
to
deal
with
the
problems
on
our
own.
Their
answers
also
show
that
they
dislike
talk
to
others.
They
kept
very
much
to
themselves.
In
my
opinion,
where
in
trouble,
we
should
seek
help
from
those
we
trust
mostly.
