The light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis's Swamp (沼泽地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack's dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.
“So,” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name ”
“Are you sure you want to hear it It's a scary story,” warned Jack.
“Of course!” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn't have chosen this place!”
“Ok, but don't say I didn't warn you,” said Jack, and he began this tale.
“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in . In those days, the area looked quite different — it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal-clear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.
“ 'You are clearing too much land, ' warned one old man. ' The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it. '
“ ' Silly fool,' said Dennis to himself. 'If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I'll become wealthier. He's just jealous!'”
“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”
“What happened ” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire.
“The land hit back —- just as the old man warned, ” Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”
“What a stupid story, ” laughed Tom. “Plants can't …” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted (晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom's face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.

When international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure (确保)that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended. The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation. The United Nations Organization (UNO) could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here however rises the problem of costs. Also tied with this is time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.
More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster; it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A common proverb says, “Give me a fish and I eat for day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.” If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is take for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come back form time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.
Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.
(1)According to the author, how could international aid reach the victims in time
A.By solving the cost problems
B.By solving the transportation problems
C.By setting up a body of devoted people in every country.
D.By relying on the direct distribution of the UNO.
(2)What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence
A.Providing food is vital B.Learning to fish is helpful
C.Teaching skills is essential D.Looking after others is important.
(3)The second paragraph is developed mainly _________.
A.by example B.by process C.by comparison D.by contrast
(4)Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands
A.A medical team. B.An exchange program.
C.A water plant. D.Financial support.
(5)What can we infer about international aid from the passage
A.It is facing difficulties
B.It is unnecessary during normal times
C.It should be given in the form of materials
D.It has gained support developed countries
19.(2013·江西)阅读理解
Many people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well.
Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as 'bracketing'. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else's world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.
Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we don't want to hear.
It wasn't until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的) In about a quarter of the patients I saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy(心理疗法), before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patient's sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.
(1)The phrase “stepping into his or her shoes” in paragraph 2 probably means _______.
A.preparing a topic list first
B.focusing on one's own mind
C.directing the talk to the desired results
D.experiencing the speaker's inside world
(2)What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2
A.How to listen well. B.What to listen to.
C.Benefits of listening. D.Problems in listening
(3)According to the author, in communication people tend to ________.
A.listen actively B.listen purposefully
C.set aside their prejudices D.open up their inner mind
(4)According to the author, the patients improved mainly because _______.
A.they were taken good care of.
B.they knew they were truly listened to.
C.they had partners to talk to.
D.they knew the roots of problems.
(5)What type of writing the article likely to be
A.Science fiction B.A news report.
C.A medical report. D.Popular science
20.(2013·江西)阅读理解
One might expect that the ever growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holiday makers. Indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the long term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere. And every month another rock bound Pacific island is advertised as the 'last paradise(天堂) on earth'.
However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of sea side holidays, over crowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.
Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. In recent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education. Its forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday makers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation of precious trees and plants.
Not only can the environment of a country suffer from the sudden growth of tourism. The people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The one time farmer is now the servant of some multi national organization; he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasn't happier in his village working his own land.
Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support from tourist companies. At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.
The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning world wide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in a few years' time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.
(1)What does the author indicate in the last sentence of Paragraph 1
A.The Pacific island is a paradise.
B.The Pacific island is worth visiting.
C.The advertisement is not convincing.
D.The advertisement is not impressive.
(2)The example of Nepal is used to suggest ________.
A.its natural resources are untouched
B.its forests are exploited for farmland
C.it develops well in health and education
D.it suffers from the heavy flow of tourists
(3)What can we learn about the farmers from Paragraph 4
A.They are happy to work their own lands.
B.They have to please the tourists for a living.
C.They have to struggle for their independence.
D.They are proud of working in multi national organizations.
(4)Which of the following determines the future of tourism
A.The number of tourists. B.The improvement of services.
C.The promotion of new products. D.The management of tourism.
(5)The author's attitude towards the development of the tourist industry is ________.
A.optimistic B.doubtful C.objective D.negative
四、任务型阅读
21.(2013·江西)阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
[1] Fishing is probably the world's most popular sport. People spend many dollars each year on items like boats and four-wheel-drive vehicles. In addition, they spend money on fishing equipment, bait, fuel and boat repairs. And you can see that fishing can be an expensive pastime. Fishing lovers believe that their hobby is worth it. Others say that fishing is spoiling the environment and that it is a cruel hobby.
[2] Supporters of fishing say that it is a nice hobby. Firstly, of the millions of people who fish for fun, most only catch enough fish to feed their families. They catch fish that are found in large numbers, so there is little danger to the species (种类).
[3] Secondly, recreational fishermen contribute to the economy. They spend money on equipment and other items, and they also spend it indirectly by paying taxes on their equipment and fuel. Those who travel to fishing spots pay for accommodation (食宿) and airfares. This money keeps people in work and provides new jobs each year.
[4] Thirdly, fishing is relaxing and fun so it lessens stress. Instead of turning to drugs or alcohol, it is far better to go fishing. People who are relaxed are generally healthier and much nicer to be near —-- except for the smell of the bait!
[5] Those who _________________ say that there are too many fish thoughtlessly taken from rivers, lakes, streams and oceans. This could lead to the dying out of some species. Modern cars and boats mean that people can fish in remote areas of the world, so no place is safe from greedy fishermen who take both males and females, leaving few fish to produce young.
[6] Those against fishing also say that it is a blood sport, which means that an animal must die so that a human can have fun. Many of the fish caught for sport are not suitable for eating, so they are thrown away. Once hooked, fish have no chance of escape.
(1)What is the main idea of the passage (no more than 4 words)
(2)According to Paragraph 2, why does fishing cause little danger to the species (no more than 8 words)
(3)List 4 items on which people spend their money for fishing. (no more than 7 words)
(4)Fill in the blank in Paragraph 5 with proper words.
Those who say that there are too many fish thoughtlessly taken from rivers, lakes, streams and oceans.
(5)What does the word “which” (Line 1, Paragraph6) probably refer to (no more than 3 words)

【点评】此题考查状语从句的省略。
15.【答案】D
【知识点】过去进行时
【解析】【分析】考查动词时态。句意:我那天打算事后来看你,但是我不得不打电话取消。根据语境可知,此处指过去本打算做某事,因此用过去进行时表示过去将来,故选D项。

【知识点】人物故事类;记叙文
【解析】【分析】本文主人公Diane Ray是个任性执拗的女孩。父母对其无奈。多亏有好人相助,使她在一次游泳中化险为夷。这也给了她一个实实在在的教训!
(1)由上文Diane Ray was … very spoilt.(受宠)以及下文…knowing that she would throw a temper tantrum if they did not。可以推测:她想要什么,父母亲给她什么。故答案为D。
(2)Diane Ray会耍小孩脾气。碰到没满足之事,不难想象她会:scream(尖叫) and kick(乱踢) and…on the floor drumming her heels.(耍赖躺在地上顿脚)。jump (跳), spin (旋转),sleep(睡)都不能准确体现Diane Ray的个性。故答案为B。
(3)set out 出发 set in 以……为背景 gave in 屈服gave out 分发 由上文Diane Ray was … very spoilt.(受宠)和throw a temper tantrum(耍小孩脾气)可以得知父母对其无奈,只得屈服。故答案为C。
(4)确定该选项的三个信息:①后文…wearing an expensive swimsuit(游泳衣),穿着游泳衣准备下水。②故事的主要情节是她在一次游泳中化险为夷。③They were back at the beach-house 和Gratefully, Diane thanked him and ran towards the beach-house. 故答案为 A。
(5)get sb to do sth=make sb do sth 使得某人做某事。该句的意思是:Diane Ray肯定耍了多次小孩脾气才使得父母为其买下了游泳衣。故答案为C。
(6)由They were back at the beach-house和 when they told her that it was too dangerous to go diving可以得知Diane Ray不被允许go diving,那她又会throw a temper tantrum。recover from… 有“从…恢复”之意。此处recovering…为动词ing形式做伴随状语。如果去掉介词from,可以考虑用appearing。故答案为B。
(7)单独”下水游泳,才可能产生危险。C 选项again(又),上下文中并没有提及她之前在那下水游泳过。所以不符原文意思。故答案为A。
(8)Diane Ray想下水,不管有伴没伴,纯粹是为了自个儿嬉耍玩乐。根本不考虑是否有危险性。have fun玩耍 其它选项不符合原文意思。故答案为D。
(9)正吵着要下水时候Diane冷不丁听到一个声音。她的反应是 jumped. 当然直到the man说话时才意识到他的存在。 Not …until…直到……才……故答案为B。
(10)“You shouldn't swim that day, ” 是陌生人给她的一个建议。下文危险发生后Oh, why had she not listened to advice.该句可以印证。故答案为C。
(11)mind one's business管自己的事,不干涉别人的事 如:A:Where did you go last night 昨晚你去那儿去了 B:Mind your own business. 你少管闲事。又如:It's none of your business. 这不关你的事(你少管闲事)。故答案为A。
(12)上文“There is a storm coming up.”(有暴风雨快来了。)而Diane不听建议,不顾危险下水游泳,那可能会出了事的。出了事会痛苦,难过的。这是劝说者想表达的意思。D选项excited与原文意思相悖。angry和confused不符合原意。故答案为B。
(13)Diane Ray不顾危险独自下水了,并且游得很起劲。此时危险来临。D选项符合逻辑。A 选项nervously(紧张地),干扰最大。但联系上文Diane任性的个性。她不听劝告,显然不会意识到危险性的存在。所以A选项排除。B,C选项不符文意。故答案为D。
(14)根据“…white caps began rolling in…(浪端的白泡沫不断翻滚.,越积越厚)”和“…and it became harder to …against the current ”(游过水流,变得更难了。),所以B选项swim符合原文逻辑。故答案为B。
(15)根据行文逻辑,该段主要描写Diane Ray不听劝告私自游水面临的险象。又如“…Saltwater hit against her face, making it …to
breathe.”Saltwater打脸,呛口,当然使得呼吸产生困难。所以A选项符合文意。故答案为A。
(16)上文从浪端泡沫翻滚和Saltwate打脸,呛口两方面描绘Diane Ray面临的生命危险。“Panicking, she began to …”Diane Ray开始紧张了,便大声呼救。所以D选项正确。A选项 speak干扰较大,侧重“演讲,发言”之意。所以A答案不选。故答案为D。
(17)原文“…seemed as if she would slip beneath the surface, …”(Diane Ray看来正要下沉时),有个声音在说“Hold on ! I'm coming”(坚持住!我就来了。)。话中透露出冷静的语气:面对险境,别慌!所以A选项calm符合文章逻辑。故答案为A。
(18)看到 the old man rowing an ancient-looking boat towards her。有人来救她了!当然感到舒了一口气。with relief 宽慰,舒心 at ease安逸,自由自在。故答案为B。
(19)Diane Ray 的任性,不听劝告私自下水会出生命危险。而在暴风雨天气中施救者同时可能有危险,所以可推测句子“You put us both in…, ” 意为“你置于我们都处于险境 ”。in danger 处于危险之中,故答案为C。
(20)由上文“she saw the old man rowing an ancient-looking boat towards her.”(……看见这位老人朝她划着一只古旧的小船。)可以判断出施救者是划船去救人的。因此把她从水中捞起,拉上船舷(the side of the boat)。C选项beach干扰最大,但一般先救上船中,然后带到岸边。所以C项不选。故答案为D。

【知识点】细节理解题;环境保护类;记叙文
【解析】【分析】在黑沉沉的夜晚,三个朋友Martin,Tom and Jack来到了一片阴湿恐怖的沼泽地。篝火旁聊起了它名字的缘由。故事的主人公Dennis贪婪成性,乱砍乱伐。开垦地树没了,动物走了,变成了一块沼泽地。他受到大地的报应——被沼泽植物拖入水中而亡。听后,Tom晕了!他脸上竟然爬满了常春藤。一个着实恐怖的笑话!
(1)词义推测题,阴湿寒冷的沼泽地,又显得十分怪诞。Martin and Tom后悔来到了这里,确实是个挑战!宁愿不试这个胆量。故答案为D。
(2)推理判断题,第二段中,Martin和Jack对话里谈到是否听这个恐怖故事时有一句话: “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn't have chosen this place!” 。意为“若没一点恐怖味,那早不要选这个地方!”。话里透露出一股猎奇心。故答案为B。
(3)细节理解题:听完老人的警告,Dennis反应是said … to himself. “'Silly fool …'If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I'll become wealthier. He's just jealous!'” Dennis要开垦更多的土地,种更多的作物,自个儿就越富有。显然是一种不惜生态环境的贪婪。故答案为D。
(4)细节理解题传说中…believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.” 沼泽植物从水中爬上来,把Dennis拖入水里而亡;Tom听完故事后,“Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom's face. ”,这么一联想,不怕才怪呢!故答案为B。
(5)主旨题 Grasp all, lose all欲尽得,必尽失No sweat, no sweet 不劳则无获It is no use crying over spilt milk覆水难收He who makes no mistakes makes nothing. 想不犯错误,就一事无成。沼泽地名称由来的故事讲的是主人公Dennis贪婪成性,受到大地的报应——被沼泽植物拖入水中而亡。那只有Grasp all, lose all(欲尽得,必尽失)一言可以概括。故答案为A。

【知识点】细节理解题;其他类;议论文
【解析】【分析】本文主要讲述了灾难在全球是不可避免的。国际援助雪中送炭。然而援助要落到实处,着实要有些高效的措施。灾难区要直接受惠于援助,联合国为此做出了努力。比如,建立一个正直无私心救援物质的管理团队。当然,本文作者认为高效的援助不在于物质,而是平日里技术知识的共享——打造坚强友谊,互派国际交换生!
(1)细节理解题 从文章第一段最后一句Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.可以得知,救援物质要快速地分配到灾区,联合国可以在各国组建一支特别团队,专门实施这项工作。故答案为C。
(2)语意理解题 “Give me a fish and I eat for day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.”相当于汉语谚语“授人以鱼不如授人以渔。”,强调的是“渔”(技术)。后文举例可以得到印证:“For example, a country could share its technology with another.”(一个国家可以与另一国共享技术资源) “…like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites.”(比如农业,或像医疗卫生保健甚至卫星的制造等复杂领域。)等。故答案为C。
(3)段落结构题 第二段段首句More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. 和段尾句Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.阐述中心:加强平日技术知识交流。段中的多次使用for example,like等词语。所以主要使用例证法来展开论述。故答案为A。
(4)语意推断题 救援灾区的主要是各地的捐款和物质,如果falls into the wrong hands,那可能造成救援钱物被贪污或挪作他用。D选项符合此意。故答案为D。
(5)大意理解题 文章首段首句提出问题:When international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended. 第二段首句More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times.以及第三段首句Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills.分别阐述解决international aid尴尬的有效办法。故答案为A。

【解析】【分析】善于倾听使交往通畅,双方共同成长。倾听要全聚焦,懂得认同;倾听要精气足,学会海纳百川。作者利用倾听心理疗法改变了他的病人,就是一个很好的例证。
(1)语意推测题 his or her shoes隐喻为the inner part of his or her mind。由上文Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else's world from the inside.和下文Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener.可以得知答案为D。
(2)大意理解题 第二段中心句Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else.接着从两个方面①An essential part of listening well is the rule known as 'bracketing'.②Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person.来阐述如何善于倾听。故答案为A。
(3)细节理解题 tend to(有…倾向)由第三段Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively.(即使我们觉得在自己的生意和社交场合会倾听,但只是带着目的有选择性的听。)以及… prepared list in mind and wonder, achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us.(…头脑里想好听哪些事,听到自己想听的来尽可能快地结束话题或转换话题,听自己满意的。) 可以得知答案为B。
(4)细节理解题 由最后一段There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patient's sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.(病人被治好的有一些原因,其中主要是病人感觉到许多年来自个儿第一次被倾听。)得知答案为B。
(5)资料来源推断题 Science fiction(科幻) A news report.(新闻报道)A medical report.(医学报告)Popular science(科普)文章主要告诉我们如何学会倾听以及倾听在医疗上的应用。所以该文具有科普特点。故答案为D。

【解析】【分析】本文为夹叙夹议类文章。文章主要介绍了旅游业的发展对当地人们的生活以及环境等方面的影响。
(1)推理判断题。由第一段中的最后一句“And every month another rock bound Pacific island is advertised as the 'last paradise(天堂)on earth'.”可知,每个月广告上不停地更换所谓的太平洋上某个岛是“地球上最后的天堂”,由此可推出这些广告是不可信的,故答案为C。
(2)推理判断题。由第三段的内容可知,尼泊尔的例子是用来说明它受到旅游业的负面影响。故答案为D。
(3)推理判断题。由第四段中的后几句“The one time farmer is now the servant of some multi national organization;he is no longer his own master.Once it was his back that bore the pain;now it is his smile that is exploited.No doubt he wonders whether he wasn't happier in his village working his own land.”可知,他们不得不通过取悦游客来谋生。故答案为B。
(4)细节理解题。由最后一段中的第一句“The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate...”可知,旅游业的管理决定其未来。故答案为D。
(5)作者态度题。纵观全文可知,作者只是客观地介绍了旅游业发展的相关问题。故答案为C。
【点评】本篇文章属于夹叙夹议文。主要考查细节理解题及推理判断题,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.臆断。
21.【答案】(1)Different views on fishing
(2)Fishing lovers catch fish found in large numbers
(3)boats, vehicles, fishing equipment, bait, boat repairs, accommodation and airfares.(列出其中四项即可)
(4)disagree with fishing (are against fishing)
(5)A blood sport
【知识点】议论文
【解析】【分析】户外钓鱼是一种常见运动。有人赞美之,有人抨击之。赞美者称可怡情,可增财税,无灭鱼种之害;抨击者说有血腥,有断鱼类之险。
(1)文章2—4段阐述户外钓鱼支持者的观点;5—6段提出户外钓鱼反对者的观点。因此,根据结构可以得知整篇文章大意是和户外钓鱼观点相关。因此答案为Different views on fishing。
(2)第二段指出两个理由:①most only catch enough fish to feed their families.(钓鱼数量不多,够得全家一餐而已。)②They catch fish that are found in large numbers,(鱼量众多者为目标)。当然,主要是第二个做法起重要作用。故答案为Fishing lovers catch fish found in large numbers。
(3)文章第一段提到People spend many dollars each year on items like boats and four-wheel-drive vehicles. In addition, they spend money on fishing equipment, bait, fuel and boat repairs.(钓鱼者每年花钱的方面有:boats,four-wheel-drive vehicles fishing equipment, bait, fuel and boat repairs);文章第三段指出Those who travel to fishing spots pay for accommodation (食宿) and airfares.(出外远程钓鱼者需支出accommodation,airfares)故答案为boats, vehicles, fishing equipment, bait, boat repairs, accommodation and airfares.(列出其中四项即可)。
(4)第五段中谈及…lead to the dying out of some species(导致一些鱼类的灭绝) 和… leaving few fish to produce young.(有很少的鱼类可以繁殖),可以判断该段讲的是反对钓鱼者的观点。再看第六段首句Those against fishing also say that…(那些反对钓鱼者也说……)。由此综合推测答案为disagree with fishing(are against fishing)
(5)由…it is a blood sport, which means that an animal must die so that a human can have fun.可以分析出该句是一定语主从复合句。which means that …为一非限定性定语从句。意为“那意味着动物的死亡,人类可以从中得到欢乐。显然是修饰先行词a blood sport。那which关系词指代的是a blood sport。故答案为A blood sport。

【解析】【分析】句意为:显然,动物是一种比人类稍低的生命形式。form (形式),本来说抽象名词。题干中form前出现形容词修饰,因此具体化为可数名词,且表达“一种……”,所以要用不定冠词。Man ,专指人类,其前不用冠词。故选A。
【点评】此题考查冠词。冠词包括定冠词the ,不定冠词a,an以及零冠词。冠词用法除了一些习惯性搭配外,更多的是根据具体的题目,语感选择正确答案。
13.(2013·江西)He wrote a letter ______ he explained what had happened in the accident.
A.what B.which C.where D.how
【答案】C
【知识点】关系副词引导定语从句的用法
【解析】【分析】句意:他写了一封信,在信中他解释了事故中发生的一切。a letter是先行词,从句本身主(he )--谓(explains )--宾(what had happened in the accident)成分齐全,缺少的是地点状语。可知使用关系副词where.故选C。
【点评】此题考查定语从句。答好此题需掌握此处先行词letter是表示抽象的地点,定语从句中缺状语,故选where.定语从句表示抽象地点的,除where外,还有些常见的 如“job,point,situation,case,activity”等。
14.(2013·江西)If ______ to look after luggage for someone else, inform the police at once.
A.asked B.to ask C.asking D.having asked
【答案】A
【知识点】条件状语从句
【解析】【分析】句意:如果被要求给别人照看行李,立刻通知警方。 从语境中可知这里是被要求,当从句中的主语和主句主语一致时,且从句中有谓语动词,此时可以省略从句中的主语和谓语动词。此句中,主句为祈使句,主语为you,从句中省略了you are。故选A。
【点评】此题考查状语从句的省略。
15.(2013·江西)I ________ to visit you later that day, but I had to phone and cancel.
A.come B.came C.am coming D.was coming
【答案】D
【知识点】过去进行时
【解析】【分析】考查动词时态。句意:我那天打算事后来看你,但是我不得不打电话取消。根据语境可知,此处指过去本打算做某事,因此用过去进行时表示过去将来,故选D项。
【点评】此题考查时态的用法。过去进行时,有一种用法表示“本来打算做某事,却没有做”.

【解析】【分析】本文主人公Diane Ray是个任性执拗的女孩。父母对其无奈。多亏有好人相助,使她在一次游泳中化险为夷。这也给了她一个实实在在的教训!
(1)由上文Diane Ray was … very spoilt.(受宠)以及下文…knowing that she would throw a temper tantrum if they did not。可以推测:她想要什么,父母亲给她什么。故答案为D。
(2)Diane Ray会耍小孩脾气。碰到没满足之事,不难想象她会:scream(尖叫) and kick(乱踢) and…on the floor drumming her heels.(耍赖躺在地上顿脚)。jump (跳), spin (旋转),sleep(睡)都不能准确体现Diane Ray的个性。故答案为B。
(3)set out 出发 set in 以……为背景 gave in 屈服gave out 分发 由上文Diane Ray was … very spoilt.(受宠)和throw a temper tantrum(耍小孩脾气)可以得知父母对其无奈,只得屈服。故答案为C。
(4)确定该选项的三个信息:①后文…wearing an expensive swimsuit(游泳衣),穿着游泳衣准备下水。②故事的主要情节是她在一次游泳中化险为夷。③They were back at the beach-house 和Gratefully, Diane thanked him and ran towards the beach-house. 故答案为 A。
(5)get sb to do sth=make sb do sth 使得某人做某事。该句的意思是:Diane Ray肯定耍了多次小孩脾气才使得父母为其买下了游泳衣。故答案为C。
(6)由They were back at the beach-house和 when they told her that it was too dangerous to go diving可以得知Diane Ray不被允许go diving,那她又会throw a temper tantrum。recover from… 有“从…恢复”之意。此处recovering…为动词ing形式做伴随状语。如果去掉介词from,可以考虑用appearing。故答案为B。
(7)单独”下水游泳,才可能产生危险。C 选项again(又),上下文中并没有提及她之前在那下水游泳过。所以不符原文意思。故答案为A。
(8)Diane Ray想下水,不管有伴没伴,纯粹是为了自个儿嬉耍玩乐。根本不考虑是否有危险性。have fun玩耍 其它选项不符合原文意思。故答案为D。
(9)正吵着要下水时候Diane冷不丁听到一个声音。她的反应是 jumped. 当然直到the man说话时才意识到他的存在。 Not …until…直到……才……故答案为B。
(10)“You shouldn't swim that day, ” 是陌生人给她的一个建议。下文危险发生后Oh, why had she not listened to advice.该句可以印证。故答案为C。
(11)mind one's business管自己的事,不干涉别人的事 如:A:Where did you go last night 昨晚你去那儿去了 B:Mind your own business. 你少管闲事。又如:It's none of your business. 这不关你的事(你少管闲事)。故答案为A。
(12)上文“There is a storm coming up.”(有暴风雨快来了。)而Diane不听建议,不顾危险下水游泳,那可能会出了事的。出了事会痛苦,难过的。这是劝说者想表达的意思。D选项excited与原文意思相悖。angry和confused不符合原意。故答案为B。
(13)Diane Ray不顾危险独自下水了,并且游得很起劲。此时危险来临。D选项符合逻辑。A 选项nervously(紧张地),干扰最大。但联系上文Diane任性的个性。她不听劝告,显然不会意识到危险性的存在。所以A选项排除。B,C选项不符文意。故答案为D。
(14)根据“…white caps began rolling in…(浪端的白泡沫不断翻滚.,越积越厚)”和“…and it became harder to …against the current ”(游过水流,变得更难了。),所以B选项swim符合原文逻辑。故答案为B。
(15)根据行文逻辑,该段主要描写Diane Ray不听劝告私自游水面临的险象。又如“…Saltwater hit against her face, making it …to
breathe.”Saltwater打脸,呛口,当然使得呼吸产生困难。所以A选项符合文意。故答案为A。
(16)上文从浪端泡沫翻滚和Saltwate打脸,呛口两方面描绘Diane Ray面临的生命危险。“Panicking, she began to …”Diane Ray开始紧张了,便大声呼救。所以D选项正确。A选项 speak干扰较大,侧重“演讲,发言”之意。所以A答案不选。故答案为D。
(17)原文“…seemed as if she would slip beneath the surface, …”(Diane Ray看来正要下沉时),有个声音在说“Hold on ! I'm coming”(坚持住!我就来了。)。话中透露出冷静的语气:面对险境,别慌!所以A选项calm符合文章逻辑。故答案为A。
(18)看到 the old man rowing an ancient-looking boat towards her。有人来救她了!当然感到舒了一口气。with relief 宽慰,舒心 at ease安逸,自由自在。故答案为B。
(19)Diane Ray 的任性,不听劝告私自下水会出生命危险。而在暴风雨天气中施救者同时可能有危险,所以可推测句子“You put us both in…, ” 意为“你置于我们都处于险境 ”。in danger 处于危险之中,故答案为C。
(20)由上文“she saw the old man rowing an ancient-looking boat towards her.”(……看见这位老人朝她划着一只古旧的小船。)可以判断出施救者是划船去救人的。因此把她从水中捞起,拉上船舷(the side of the boat)。C选项beach干扰最大,但一般先救上船中,然后带到岸边。所以C项不选。故答案为D。

The light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis's Swamp (沼泽地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack's dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.
“So,” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name ”
“Are you sure you want to hear it It's a scary story,” warned Jack.
“Of course!” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn't have chosen this place!”
“Ok, but don't say I didn't warn you,” said Jack, and he began this tale.
“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in . In those days, the area looked quite different — it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal-clear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.
“ 'You are clearing too much land, ' warned one old man. ' The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it. '
“ ' Silly fool,' said Dennis to himself. 'If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I'll become wealthier. He's just jealous!'”
“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”
“What happened ” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire.
“The land hit back —- just as the old man warned, ” Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”
“What a stupid story, ” laughed Tom. “Plants can't …” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted (晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom's face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.

18.(2013·江西)阅读理解
When international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure (确保)that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended. The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation. The United Nations Organization (UNO) could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here however rises the problem of costs. Also tied with this is time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.
More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster; it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A common proverb says, “Give me a fish and I eat for day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.” If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is take for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come back form time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.
Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.
(1)According to the author, how could international aid reach the victims in time
A.By solving the cost problems
B.By solving the transportation problems
C.By setting up a body of devoted people in every country.
D.By relying on the direct distribution of the UNO.
(2)What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence
A.Providing food is vital B.Learning to fish is helpful
C.Teaching skills is essential D.Looking after others is important.
(3)The second paragraph is developed mainly _________.
A.by example B.by process C.by comparison D.by contrast
(4)Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands
A.A medical team. B.An exchange program.
C.A water plant. D.Financial support.
(5)What can we infer about international aid from the passage
A.It is facing difficulties
B.It is unnecessary during normal times
C.It should be given in the form of materials
D.It has gained support developed countries

Many people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is because they do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well.
Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as 'bracketing'. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else's world from the inside, stepping into his or her shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener. True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.
Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening, or we simply refuse to listen to what we don't want to hear.
It wasn't until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的) In about a quarter of the patients I saw, surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of psychotherapy(心理疗法), before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patient's sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.
(1)The phrase “stepping into his or her shoes” in paragraph 2 probably means _______.
A.preparing a topic list first
B.focusing on one's own mind
C.directing the talk to the desired results
D.experiencing the speaker's inside world
(2)What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2
A.How to listen well. B.What to listen to.
C.Benefits of listening. D.Problems in listening
(3)According to the author, in communication people tend to ________.
A.listen actively B.listen purposefully
C.set aside their prejudices D.open up their inner mind
(4)According to the author, the patients improved mainly because _______.
A.they were taken good care of.
B.they knew they were truly listened to.
C.they had partners to talk to.
D.they knew the roots of problems.
(5)What type of writing the article likely to be
A.Science fiction B.A news report.

【解析】【分析】善于倾听使交往通畅,双方共同成长。倾听要全聚焦,懂得认同;倾听要精气足,学会海纳百川。作者利用倾听心理疗法改变了他的病人,就是一个很好的例证。
(1)语意推测题 his or her shoes隐喻为the inner part of his or her mind。由上文Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires, to experience as far as possible someone else's world from the inside.和下文Sensing this acceptance, the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener.可以得知答案为D。
(2)大意理解题 第二段中心句Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else.接着从两个方面①An essential part of listening well is the rule known as 'bracketing'.②Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person.来阐述如何善于倾听。故答案为A。
(3)细节理解题 tend to(有…倾向)由第三段Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usually doing is listening selectively.(即使我们觉得在自己的生意和社交场合会倾听,但只是带着目的有选择性的听。)以及… prepared list in mind and wonder, achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us.(…头脑里想好听哪些事,听到自己想听的来尽可能快地结束话题或转换话题,听自己满意的。) 可以得知答案为B。
(4)细节理解题 由最后一段There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chief among them, I believe, was the patient's sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.(病人被治好的有一些原因,其中主要是病人感觉到许多年来自个儿第一次被倾听。)得知答案为B。
(5)资料来源推断题 Science fiction(科幻) A news report.(新闻报道)A medical report.(医学报告)Popular science(科普)文章主要告诉我们如何学会倾听以及倾听在医疗上的应用。所以该文具有科普特点。故答案为D。

One might expect that the ever growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holiday makers. Indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the long term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere. And every month another rock bound Pacific island is advertised as the 'last paradise(天堂) on earth'.
However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of sea side holidays, over crowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.
Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. In recent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education. Its forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday makers traveling through the forest land. Ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation of precious trees and plants.
Not only can the environment of a country suffer from the sudden growth of tourism. The people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The one time farmer is now the servant of some multi national organization; he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasn't happier in his village working his own land.
Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support from tourist companies. At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.
The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning world wide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in a few years' time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.
(1)What does the author indicate in the last sentence of Paragraph 1
A.The Pacific island is a paradise.
B.The Pacific island is worth visiting.
C.The advertisement is not convincing.
D.The advertisement is not impressive.
(2)The example of Nepal is used to suggest ________.
A.its natural resources are untouched
B.its forests are exploited for farmland
C.it develops well in health and education
D.it suffers from the heavy flow of tourists
(3)What can we learn about the farmers from Paragraph 4
A.They are happy to work their own lands.
B.They have to please the tourists for a living.
C.They have to struggle for their independence.
D.They are proud of working in multi national organizations.
(4)Which of the following determines the future of tourism
A.The number of tourists. B.The improvement of services.
C.The promotion of new products. D.The management of tourism.
(5)The author's attitude towards the development of the tourist industry is ________.
A.optimistic B.doubtful C.objective D.negative
【答案】(1)C
(2)D

(2)推理判断题。由第三段的内容可知,尼泊尔的例子是用来说明它受到旅游业的负面影响。故答案为D。
(3)推理判断题。由第四段中的后几句“The one time farmer is now the servant of some multi national organization;he is no longer his own master.Once it was his back that bore the pain;now it is his smile that is exploited.No doubt he wonders whether he wasn't happier in his village working his own land.”可知,他们不得不通过取悦游客来谋生。故答案为B。
(4)细节理解题。由最后一段中的第一句“The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate...”可知,旅游业的管理决定其未来。故答案为D。
(5)作者态度题。纵观全文可知,作者只是客观地介绍了旅游业发展的相关问题。故答案为C。

四、任务型阅读
21.(2013·江西)阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
[1] Fishing is probably the world's most popular sport. People spend many dollars each year on items like boats and four-wheel-drive vehicles. In addition, they spend money on fishing equipment, bait, fuel and boat repairs. And you can see that fishing can be an expensive pastime. Fishing lovers believe that their hobby is worth it. Others say that fishing is spoiling the environment and that it is a cruel hobby.
[2] Supporters of fishing say that it is a nice hobby. Firstly, of the millions of people who fish for fun, most only catch enough fish to feed their families. They catch fish that are found in large numbers, so there is little danger to the species (种类).
[3] Secondly, recreational fishermen contribute to the economy. They spend money on equipment and other items, and they also spend it indirectly by paying taxes on their equipment and fuel. Those who travel to fishing spots pay for accommodation (食宿) and airfares. This money keeps people in work and provides new jobs each year.
[4] Thirdly, fishing is relaxing and fun so it lessens stress. Instead of turning to drugs or alcohol, it is far better to go fishing. People who are relaxed are generally healthier and much nicer to be near —-- except for the smell of the bait!
[5] Those who _________________ say that there are too many fish thoughtlessly taken from rivers, lakes, streams and oceans. This could lead to the dying out of some species. Modern cars and boats mean that people can fish in remote areas of the world, so no place is safe from greedy fishermen who take both males and females, leaving few fish to produce young.
[6] Those against fishing also say that it is a blood sport, which means that an animal must die so that a human can have fun. Many of the fish caught for sport are not suitable for eating, so they are thrown away. Once hooked, fish have no chance of escape.
(1)What is the main idea of the passage (no more than 4 words)
(2)According to Paragraph 2, why does fishing cause little danger to the species (no more than 8 words)
(3)List 4 items on which people spend their money for fishing. (no more than 7 words)
(4)Fill in the blank in Paragraph 5 with proper words.
Those who say that there are too many fish thoughtlessly taken from rivers, lakes, streams and oceans.
(5)What does the word “which” (Line 1, Paragraph6) probably refer to (no more than 3 words)
【答案】(1)Different views on fishing
(2)Fishing lovers catch fish found in large numbers
(3)boats, vehicles, fishing equipment, bait, boat repairs, accommodation and airfares.(列出其中四项即可)
(4)disagree with fishing (are against fishing)
(5)A blood sport
【知识点】议论文
【解析】【分析】户外钓鱼是一种常见运动。有人赞美之,有人抨击之。赞美者称可怡情,可增财税,无灭鱼种之害;抨击者说有血腥,有断鱼类之险。
(1)文章2—4段阐述户外钓鱼支持者的观点;5—6段提出户外钓鱼反对者的观点。因此,根据结构可以得知整篇文章大意是和户外钓鱼观点相关。因此答案为Different views on fishing。
(2)第二段指出两个理由:①most only catch enough fish to feed their families.(钓鱼数量不多,够得全家一餐而已。)②They catch fish that are found in large numbers,(鱼量众多者为目标)。当然,主要是第二个做法起重要作用。故答案为Fishing lovers catch fish found in large numbers。
(3)文章第一段提到People spend many dollars each year on items like boats and four-wheel-drive vehicles. In addition, they spend money on fishing equipment, bait, fuel and boat repairs.(钓鱼者每年花钱的方面有:boats,four-wheel-drive vehicles fishing equipment, bait, fuel and boat repairs);文章第三段指出Those who travel to fishing spots pay for accommodation (食宿) and airfares.(出外远程钓鱼者需支出accommodation,airfares)故答案为boats, vehicles, fishing equipment, bait, boat repairs, accommodation and airfares.(列出其中四项即可)。
(4)第五段中谈及…lead to the dying out of some species(导致一些鱼类的灭绝) 和… leaving few fish to produce young.(有很少的鱼类可以繁殖),可以判断该段讲的是反对钓鱼者的观点。再看第六段首句Those against fishing also say that…(那些反对钓鱼者也说……)。由此综合推测答案为disagree with fishing(are against fishing)
(5)由…it is a blood sport, which means that an animal must die so that a human can have fun.可以分析出该句是一定语主从复合句。which means that …为一非限定性定语从句。意为“那意味着动物的死亡,人类可以从中得到欢乐。显然是修饰先行词a blood sport。那which关系词指代的是a blood sport。故答案为A blood sport。

【知识点】提纲作文
【解析】【分析】本篇作文是一篇报道,文章要点已给出。写作时注意文章要点齐全,但不可逐字翻译,可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。本篇报道中,使用了大量经典句型及词汇。如All the way we were chatting, singing and laughing, enjoying the fresh air and the beautiful scenery. 此处用了enjoying做伴随状语。Not only did it get us close to nature and give us relaxation from heavy school work, it also promoted the friendship among us.此处not only置于句首,句子使用了倒装。 What a wonderful time!此句使用了感叹句。另外使用了 set out for,with joy,benefit,promote等高级短语和词汇。
【点评】写作考查学生对英语知识的综合应用。本文要求写一篇报道。报道一次登山活动。故时态使用一般过去时,人称用第一人称。首先写清写作目的,然后是时间,地点,人物,过程,包括如出发,途中,到达目的地等情况的介绍。最后写活动的意义,即对于这次活动的评论(感受)。文章比较容易入题。
