W: The “greening”? What does that mean?

【答案】14. B    15. A    16. C

【解析】

【原文】W: Hello, this is Tina. I haven’t booked my flight to DC yet, but I was wondering if you have any advice on how to best get to you from the airport?

M: Yes, well, if you’re flying, Reagan National is the closest. You can take the underground right in from there. Dulles is further away and a taxi is probably the easiest. And then Baltimore-Washington Airport connects to a train that you can take right into the main train station in town.

W: OK, cool, I think Reagan should be the best. And do you pretty centrally lie in DC? Like, next to all the sights and everything? My friend asked me to stay in her house, but I don’t think it would be very convenient.

M: Yep. We’re in the Dupont Circle area, pretty central to DC. You can walk down to the White House. The underground is right around the corner.

W: Do you include breakfast?

M: Yes, madam, and we also offer dinner if you like.

W: OK. That sounds good. Thank you. I’m going to think about it and once I’ve got everything booked, I’ll give you a call.

M: OK. Have a good day.

听下面一段独白,回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频,请去附件查看】

 

17. What is the show about?

20. When will the show start this week?

A. At 9:30. B. At 9:00. C. At 8:30.

【答案】17. C    18. B    19. C    20. A

【解析】

【原文】W: I’ve just discovered a fantastic new show called How Do They Do That?. The idea is simple. Take a topic — like travel, for example and then think of lots of little mysteries that could be explained. How do planes take off and land? That sort of thing. Then get two young, enthusiastic hosts in a lab to do lots of exciting experiments. Add some pictures to explain the process to the audience and that’s the show. Get the idea?

Each edition looks at a different subject. As well as travel, topics that have already been covered include education, the body, things around the house and magic — my favorite so far. Still to come are personal finances, the natural world, sports, and life and how to live it. The one I’m personally looking forward to the most is how to meet the perfect partner. But some of my friends would like to know how to eat chocolate without putting on weight.

What I like most about the show is that it’s fun and you learn something at the same time, so you don’t feel so guilty about spending 60 minutes in front of the TV each week. So if you aren’t already watching How Do They Do That?, I strongly recommend that you make the time. You’ll never think it boring. It’s on every Tuesday at 9 p.m. but this week’s edition won’t be shown until half an hour later because of the live international soccer game. Get watching and start learning!

A. to recover B. to have recovered

C. to be recovering D. to have been recovering

【答案】A

【解析】

【分析】

【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:旅游业作为本地经济的核心,应该在未来数月内会复苏。短语be supposed to do sth.表示“应该做某事”,由in the months to come可知,这是将来的动作,并不是目前正在进行的动作,故排除C选项;B、D选项均表示recover发生在谓语动词is supposed to之前,与语境不符合。故选A。

27. ____to the students at home, the textbooks enabled them to study more efficiently.

A. Distributing B. Having distributed

C. Being distributed D. Distributed

【答案】D

【解析】

【分析】

【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:课本被分发给家里的学生,使他们能更有效地学习。分析句子结构可知distribute在句中作非谓语动词,与逻辑主语textbooks构成被动关系,故用过去分词形式,故排除A/B选项;C选项Being distributed表示“正在被……”,句子没有体现动作正在进行,与前后语境不符。故选D。

28. The Yangtze River Delta regional development plan,____Nantong has long expected, is under way.

A. that B. where C. which D. when

【答案】C

【解析】

【分析】

【详解】考查定语从句。句意:南通期盼已久的长三角区域发展规划正在实施。本句为非限定性定语从句修饰上文整个句子,且从句中缺少宾语,故应用关系代词which引导;that不引导非限定性定语从句,排除A选项;B、D选项为关系副词,作状语,此处不符合。故选C。

【点睛】定语从句中的关系词选择,可考虑以下几点:

1、看清楚先行词的意义,就是理清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点、原因。指物时不能用who或whom,指人时通常不用which等等。

2、看清楚关系词的句法功能,就是理清关系词是担任什么句子成分,是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等等。作定语通常用whose,有时也用which。作状语要用when, where, why。

3、看清楚定语从句的种类,就是理清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句。that、why通常不引导非限制性定语从句。 

4、看清楚文体,就是理清是正式文体,还是非正式文体。是书面语体还是口语体。

29. China’s efforts to give timely treatment to those infected with the virus are being____by the rest of the world.

30. My neighbour Sana is always sheltering her child too much, and that’s ____we differ.

A. when B. what C. how D. where

【答案】D

【解析】

【分析】

【详解】考查表语从句连接词。句意:我的邻居Sana总是庇护她的孩子太多,这是我们的不同之处。此处为表语从句,从句中缺少地点状语,应用关系副词where。故选D。

【点睛】名词性从句关键在于三点:

一、找准从句在主句中充当的成分即分出是名词性从句的主语句、宾语从句、表语从句还是同位语从句;

二、连接词从句中充当的成分(主、宾、定或状语或不做任何成分);

三、弄清楚每个连接词的意义。此外还要注意,近年来高考对于名词性从句的考查多从名词性从句的语序和连接词的用法区别上考查。

31. I will try my best to get to the station ahead of time  ____ I have to walk all the way there.

A. so that B. as though C. even if D. in case

【答案】C

【解析】

【分析】

【详解】考查连接词辨析。句意:我将尽我最大的努力提前到达车站,即使我不得不一路走到那里。A. so that以便,所以;B. as though好像,仿佛;C. even if即使,虽然;D. in case万一,假使。根据句意可知,前后句意存在让步关系,此处为让步状语从句,表示“即使”应用even if。故选C。

32. It’s really exciting to imagine my future when I____ a new life at university.

A. would experience B. have experienced

C. will be experiencing D. experienced

【答案】C

【解析】

【分析】

【详解】考查动词时态。句意:想象我的未来真的很令人兴奋,那时候我将正在大学里体验新生活。根据上文It’s really exciting to imagine my future可知,experience还未发生,应用将来时,结合语境可知,此处指将来正在发生的动作,应使用将来进行时。故选C。

【点睛】英语动词时态用法归纳:将来进行时

1. 构成:will / shall be +现在分词。

2. 基本用法

(1) 表示将来某时刻正在进行的动作。如:

Don’t phone him between 5pm and 6pm. He’ll be having a meeting then. 五点至六点之间不要给他打电话,那时他在开会。

When I get home, my wife will probably be doing cooking. 当我到家时,我太太可能正在做饭。

(2) 表示按计划或安排要发生的动作。如:

The train won’t be leaving until one o’clock. 火车一点钟才开。

We shall be going to London next week. 下周我们要去伦敦。

(3) 常用来表示预计即将发生或势必要发生的动作。如:

When shall we be meeting next time? 我们下次什么时候见面?

Do come tomorrow! We’ll be expecting you. 明天务必来,我们要等你的。

(4) 表示委婉语气。如:

Will you be needing anything else? 你还需要什么吗?

When will you be coming again? 你什么时候再来?

3. 将来进行时与一般将来时的区别

(1) 将来进行时表示将来某时正在进行的动作; 而一般将来时表示将来某时将要发生的动作。如:

What will you be doing at seven the day after tomorrow? 后天晚上七点会在做什么呢?

What will you do at seven the day after tomorrow? 后天晚上七点你干什么?

(2) 将来进行表示已有的安排;而一般将来时表示临时决定。如:

I’ll go to see him after school. 放学后我去看她。

I’ll be going to see him after school. 放学后我准备去看她的。

(3) 两者均可表示将来,但用将来进行时语气更委婉,比较:

When will you finish your homework 你什么什候完成作业?

When will you be finishing your homework 你什么什候完成作业呢?

(4) 有时将来进行时则只是单纯地谈未来情况;而一般将来中的will含有“愿意”的意思。比较:

Mary won’t be paying this bill. 不会由玛丽来付钱。(单纯谈未来情况)

Mary won’t pay this bill. 玛丽不肯付这笔钱。(表意愿)

33. If you____here half an hour ago, you would have known what we were talking about.

A arrived B. had arrived C. should arrive D. would arrive

【答案】B

【解析】

【分析】

【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意:如果你半小时前到达这里,你就知道我们在说什么了。结合后文half an hour ago可知,表示与过去事实相反,主句用would (should, could, might) +have+过去分词,从句用过去完成时。故选B。

【点睛】if虚拟条件句和对应主句的动词形式列表:


条件从句的谓语动词形式

主句谓语动词形式

与过去事实相反的假设

had done

would/could/might/should have done

与现在事实相反的假设

过去时(was→were)

would/could/might/should do

与将来事实相反的假设

过去时 (was→were) ;

should do;

were to do

would/could/might/should do

有时假设的情况并不是以if引导的条件从句形式出现,而是通过一些短语等形式暗示虚拟语气的存在,常用的词语有with, without, but for, otherwise, or,even, in case of, what if(如果…将如何)等等,这种句子往往有主句而无从句 (考试时多数情况是对过去的假。但是可以转化成if引导的虚拟条件句。分析句子可知,本句可以转化成是if引导的虚拟条件句,表示与过去事实相反的假设。从句为:If I had not had your recommendation ,主句为:I would have missed it。故C选项正确。

34. Regular exercise along with proper diets____our health in the long term.

A. benefits B. has benefited C. benefit D. have benefited

【答案】A

【解析】

【分析】

【详解】考查主谓一致。句意:有规律的运动加上适当的饮食从长远来看对我们的健康有益。主语后接介词短语along with或其他插入语,不影响主语的人称和数,谓语动词应根据主语的人称和数来确定。故谓语动词应与Regular exercise保持一致,且描述客观事实用一般现在时,故谓语动词用第三人称单数。故选A。

35. — Thank you so much for your kind help, Lucy.

—____.

A. That’s right B. All right C. With pleasure D. My pleasure

【答案】D

【解析】

【分析】

【详解】考查情景交际。句意:——非常感谢你的帮助,Lucy。——别客气。A. That’s right没错,就是那样;B. All right好,可以;C. With pleasure我很愿意;D. My pleasure我很荣幸,不客气。对别人表达感谢的回答应当是“不客气”。故选D。

B

Be careful of those solid gold pieces of advice. The friend who advises you to, say, stay in your relationship or leave your job may well be looking out for you; but she' s inescapably looking out for herself, too, whether she realises it or not.

Moreover, research suggests that people will generally advise you to act more cautiously than they would act themselves in a similar situation — perhaps because they don’t want to feel guilty if you take a daring leap and fall flat on your face.

There's a happy side to this, though, for parents, teachers, managers and anyone else who finds themselves in the position of needing to motivate others: far better than giving them advice is to give them the opportunity to give advice. A new study found that American middle-school pupils were much more enthusiastic about doing their homework after giving advice on the topic to younger children, as compared with after receiving advice from teachers. This motivational effect lasted weeks, and was also observed among adults who were attempting to lose weight, save money, control their temper or find a job. This result isn’t all that surprising, 1 suppose, when you consider how happy it feels to be invited to give advice. Faced with a challenge, we tend to assume we need to seek advice in order to obtain more knowledge about how to give advice; yet the truth, very often, is that we know exactly what we need to do — we just lack the confidence to do it.

This, by the way, is another good reason to keep a journal: you can use it to advise yourself. Your friends may have limited patience with your habit of lecturing them on their lives in order to feel better about your own, but a leather-effect notebook never complains.

Finally, this is a reminder that there are few bigger compliments (恭维) you can pay another person than to ask for their advice. Benjamin Franklin famously observed that to flatter (奉承) someone, it’s better to ask for a favour than to perform one: the favour-doer will come to think of you as the likable sort for whom they do favours.

58. Why should you be careful of those solid gold pieces of advice?

A. They may be practical.

B. They may be rewarding.

C. They may be demanding.

D. They may be conservative.

59. The examples in Paragraph 3 suggest that people giving advice    .

A. become more motivated to act

B. should turn to others for advice

C. are superior to the professionals

D. usually lack relevant knowledge

60. What does the author want to convey by mentioning Benjamin Franklin?

A. Keeping a journal is a good habit.

B. You should be polite to the favour-doers.

C. You should be patient with your listeners.

D. Asking for a favour pleases the favour-doers.

【答案】58. D    59. A    60. D

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。研究表明,要小心那些说金玉良言的人,因为他们可能很保守。而一项新研究发现,提供建议的人会更有行动的动力。文章指出写日记是一个用来给自己提建议的好办法,向他人征求意见也能够取悦他人。

【58题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段Moreover, research suggests that people will generally advise you to act more cautiously than they would act themselves in a similar situation — perhaps because they don’t want to feel guilty if you take a daring leap and fall flat on your face.可知,此外,研究表明,人们通常会建议你在类似的情况下,要比他们自己更谨慎地行动——也许是因为他们不想因为你的大胆行动而感到内疚。由此可知,要小心那些金玉良言,因为他们可能很保守。故选D。

【59题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段中A new study found that American middle-school pupils were much more enthusiastic about doing their homework after giving advice on the topic to younger children, as compared with after receiving advice from teachers.可知,一项新的研究发现,与接受老师的建议相比,美国中学生在给更小的孩子提供有关家庭作业的建议后,做作业的热情要高得多。由此可推知,第3段中的例子表明,提供建议的人会更有行动的动力。故选A。

【60题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句Finally, this is a reminder that there are few bigger compliments you can pay another person than to ask for their advice.可知,最后,这是一个提醒,没有什么比征求别人的意见更能让你恭维别人的了。由此可推知,作者通过提到Benjamin Franklin是想要表达求人恩惠能够取悦施加恩惠的人。故选D。

C

The voice of an ancient Egyptian priest has been heard for the first time in more than 3,000 years, thanks to a detailed reconstruction of his vocal tract (声带) from his mummified remains.

A team of scientists in England used medical scans of the famous mummy of Nesyamun to create a digital, 3D model of the insides of the individual’s throat and mouth, which were reproduced on a 3D printer. Then the researchers created an artificial larynx (喉头) with a loudspeaker using an electronic waveform. The sound was then played through the speaker into the 3D printed vocal tract to produce a short bust of Nesyamun’s voice — a sound not heard since the 11th century B.C.

Previous efforts to reproduce ancient voices could only approximate them, by animating facial reconstructions with software. In comparison, the sound of Nesyamun’s voice is based on “an extant (现存的) vocal tract preserved over 3,000 years,” the researchers wrote.

Nesyamun lived around 1100 B.C. He is thought to have died in his late 50s from a severe allergic reaction. Almost 3,000 years later, his mummy was discovered at Karnak and transported to the Leeds City Museum in 1823. His remains and ornate coffin (棺材) have since become some of the world’s best researched relics of ancient Egypt.

“Nesyamun’s mummy was a good choice for studying the sound of an ancient voice,” said David Howard, the lead author of the new research, “It was particularly suited, given its age and preservation of its soft tissues, which is unusual.”

He said he hopes the scientific understanding of how human voices are created can be combined with knowledge of the ancient Egyptian language to reconstruct longer passages of Nesyamun’s speech.

Before examining the mummy, the researchers had to deal with ethical (道德的) concerns related to examining a person without their consent. They used nondestructive research methods, and took into account words on his coffin, relating that Nesyamun hoped again to address the gods as he had in his working life.

The researchers interpreted that to indicate his desire to speak again after death. “We are in a way fulfilling his declared wishes,” Howard said.

Howard and Schofield said they hope a reconstruction of Nesyamun’s speech, perhaps reciting an ancient Egyptian prayer, can be featured at the Karnak temple in Egypt for modem tourists.

“When visitors encounter the past, it is usually a visual encounter,” said Schofield. “With this voice, we can change that.”

61. The voice of Nesyamun was recreated by _____.

A. repairing his vocal tract

B. bringing Nesyamun back to life

C. using some advanced technologies

D. combining it with facial movements

62. Why was Nesyamun’s mummy suitable for research?

A. He often gave long speeches.

B. His vocal tract is well preserved.

C. A severe disease resulted in his death.

D. His remains are displayed in the museum.

63. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 8 refer to?

A. The researchers took into account words on his coffin.

B. Nesyamun’s mummy was examined without his consent.

C. The researchers hope to reconstruct longer passages of his speech.

D. Nesyamun hoped to address the gods as he had in his working life.

64. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. A 3000-year-old mummy speaks again

B. The voice of a mummy excites visitors

C. A 3D-printed vocal tract has been created

D. The dream of Nesyamun has been achieved

【答案】61. C    62. B    63. D    64. A

【解析】

【分析】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一名古埃及牧师Nesyamun的声音在3000多年来首次被听到,这要归功于从他的木乃伊中提取的声道的详细重建。文章说明了对Nesyamun的声音进行重建的过程以及相关人员对这一研究的说明和看法。

【61题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段A team of scientists in England used medical scans of the famous mummy of Nesyamun to create a digital, 3D model of the insides of the individual’s throat and mouth, which were reproduced on a 3D printer. Then the researchers created an artificial larynx with a loudspeaker using an electronic waveform. The sound was then played through the speaker into the 3D printed vocal tract to produce a short bust of Nesyamun’s voice-a sound not heard since the 11th century B.C.可知,英国的一组科学家利用对著名的Nesyamun木乃伊的医学扫描,创建了一个数码的、3D的人体咽喉和口腔内部模型,并在3D打印机上复制出来。然后,研究人员用一个电子波形的扬声器制造了一个人造喉头。然后,声音通过扬声器被播放到3D打印的声道中,从而产生了一段简短的Nesyamun的声音——这是自公元前11世纪以来从未听到过的声音。由此可知,Nesyamun的声音是用一些先进的技术重新创造的。故选C。

【62题详解】

细节理解题。根据第五段中It was particularly suited, given its age and preservation of its soft tissues, which is unusual.可知,考虑到它的年龄和软组织的保存,它特别适合,这是不寻常的。由此可知,Nesyamun的木乃伊适合研究,因为他的声道保存得很好。故选B。

【63题详解】

词义猜测题。根据第七段最后一句They used nondestructive research methods, and took into account words on his coffin, relating that Nesyamun hoped again to address the gods as he had in his working life.可知,他们采用了非破坏性的研究方法,并考虑了他棺材上的文字,认为Nesyamun希望再次像他在工作中那样向众神祈祷。再根据第八段划线词所在句The researchers interpreted that to indicate his desire to speak again after death.(研究人员把那理解为他想在死后再说话)可知,划线词that指的是上文棺材上的文字,即“Nesyamun希望像他在工作中那样向众神祈祷”。故选D。

【64题详解】

主旨大意题。根据文章第一段The voice of an ancient Egyptian priest has been heard for the first time in more than 3,000 years, thanks to a detailed reconstruction of his vocal tract from his mummified remains.可知,一名古埃及牧师的声音在3000多年来首次被听到,这要归功于从他的木乃伊中提取的声道的详细重建。下文详细介绍对这个木乃伊的声道的重建过程,及相关人员对这一研究的说明和看法。由此可知,A选项“一个3000岁的木乃伊又说话了”符合文章标题。故选A。

【点睛】代词指代题要求同学们根据语境的逻辑关系、判断画线的人称代词或指示代词在文章中指代的对象,包括考查it(指动物,无生命的事物、特定的事件或人),they/them(指代人、物、事件的复数名词),he/she等人称代词的指代意义,以及指示代词this,that,these,those等在文章中的指代意义,考查同学们对文章中叙述特定的人,物,事件的认知能力。解答这类题时,同学们要认真阅读划线词所在句和前后临近句的内容,分析人称转换和动作变换的详细过程,理清来龙去脉和前后的因果关系,从而准确推断其指代的对象。如第3小题,根据第七段最后一句They used nondestructive research methods, and took into account words on his coffin, relating that Nesyamun hoped again to address the gods as he had in his working life.可知,他们采用了非破坏性的研究方法,并考虑了他棺材上的文字,认为Nesyamun希望再次像他在工作中那样向众神祈祷。再根据第八段划线词所在句The researchers interpreted that to indicate his desire to speak again after death.(研究人员把那理解为他想在死后再说话)可知,划线词that指的是上文棺材上的文字,即“Nesyamun希望像他在工作中那样向众神祈祷”。故选D。

Curtis Whitson knew the water fall was coming. He'd rafted down the Arroyo Seco, a river in central California, before. He figured he would hop out of his raft into the shallow water, rappel (绕绳下降) down the rocks on either side of the falls, and continue on his way, as he had on a previous trip.

But this year was different. Heavy snow and spring rains had turned the usually manageable falls into something fierce. And this year, instead of his friends, Whitson’s companions were his wife, Krystal Ramirez, and his 13-year-old son, Hunter. As the three of them approached the falls late in the afternoon of the third day of their camping trip, Whitson could tell from the increasing roar of water in the narrow canyon (峡谷) that they were in serious trouble. There was no way they’d be able to rappel down the rocks as planned.

As he considered what to do, Whitson hit on a bit of luck — he heard voices coming from the other side of the falls. He yelled, but the sound of the rushing water drowned him out.

We have to get these people a message, Whitson thought.

He grabbed a stick and pulled out his pocketknife to carve “Help” in it. Then he tied a rope to it so the people would know it wasn’t just any stick. He tried throwing it over the falls, but it floated away in the wrong direction.

Then he spotted his green Nalgene water bottle. Whitson grabbed it and carved “Help!” on it. Ramirez also reminded him that he had a pen and paper, which she’d brought to play games with, in his backpack.

Whitson knew it was a long shot. But he scrawled (草草地写) “We are stuck here at the waterfall. Get help please!” and pushed the note into the bottle.

This time, his throw over the waterfall was perfect.

“All right, that’s all we can do,” Whitson told Hunter.

It took 30 minutes to navigate back upstream to the beach where they’d had lunch. They made a fire and laid out a tarp (油布). As the evening wore on, they placed a headlamp with a flashing light on a ledge (岩石突出部). By about 10:30 p.m.,they decided they probably weren’t going to get rescued that night, so they pulled out their sleeping bags. Before turning in Ramirez added more wood to the fire to keep the mountain lions away.

Then, just after midnight, they heard a helicopter hovering above them. Whitson turned to his son and started shaking him.

“They’re here!” he said.

Whitson ran over to the headlamp and started flashing it at the helicopter. He, Ramirez, and Hunter were waving and hollering when they heard the magic words: “This is Search and Rescue. You have been found.”

The helicopter circled as the pilot looked for a good place to land. Finding none, the crew announced to the campers over the PA system that they would not be rescued until morning and told them to conserve their firewood.

The next morning, the helicopter returned and it was a moment of pure happiness as the three chatted with the officers who had rescued them. Together, they marveled (惊叹) at the unlikelihood of it all.

When the officers dropped them back at the Arroyo Seco Campground, the family learned more about the long shot events that had saved them: Two men had seen the water bottle in the water. When they picked it up, they noticed the writing on it — “Help!”. Then they realized there was a note inside. After they read it, they hightailed it to the campground, turned the bottle in, and took off without leaving their names.

A few days after news of the rescue broke, one of the hikers contacted Whitson. That’s when he learned the rest of the story. There were actually two little girls hiking with the men that day. It was the girls who first spotted the bottle and swam to get it. Whitson is planning on having a big barbecue to meet the hikers — and thank them.

“I imagine it’s going to be one of the greatest moments of my life.” he says.

65. How was Whitson’s this-year trip different from his previous trip?

A. It involved more people.

B. It presented more threats.

C. It included more activities.

D. It progressed more steadily.

66. Which of Whitson’s attempted approaches worked?

A. Throwing a stick tied with a rope.

B. Yelling to the people across the fall.

C. Using an SOS bottle to send messages.

D. Bringing a pen and paper to play games.

67. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 7 mean?

A. It was a wild attempt.

B. It was a great danger.

C. It was a fantastic idea.

D. It was a real inspiration.

68. Why did Whitson place a headlamp with a flashing light on a ledge?

A. To enable his family to fall fast asleep.

B. To frighten the mountain animals away.

C. To increase the chance of being rescued.

D. To keep warm at night in the deep mountain.

69. Why did the crew delay rescuing till the next morning?

A. They were running out of oil.

B. They conserved little firewood.

C. They found no place to land safe.

D. They were caught in a snowstorm.

70. Who picked up the bottle from the water?

A. Two little girls.

B. Two men hikers.

C. A helicopter pilot.

D. The officers on duty.

【答案】65. B    66. C    67. A    68. C    69. C    70. A

【解析】

【分析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要记叙了Whitson一家野营被困,他们巧妙地用求救瓶向外界发出了求救信号,从而得救的故事。

【65题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段中Heavy snow and spring rains had turned the usually manageable falls into something fierce.可知,大雪和春雨使得原本可以控制的瀑布变得异常凶猛。由此可知,Whitson今年的旅行和以前不同,因为今年的旅行有更多的威胁。故选B。

【66题详解】

细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中When the officers dropped them back at the Arroyo Seco Campground, the family learned more about the long shot events that had saved them: Two men had seen the water bottle in the water.可知,当警官们把他们送回Arroyo Seco营地时,这家人进一步了解了挽救他们性命的重大事件:有两个人看到了水里的水瓶。由此可知,Whitson尝试的方法中,使用求救瓶发送信息起作用了。故选C。

【67题详解】

词义猜测题。根据第三段As he considered what to do, Whitson hit on a bit of luck — he heard voices coming from the other side of the falls. He yelled, but the sound of the rushing water drowned him out.可知,正当他考虑该怎么办时,Whitson碰上了一点好运气——他听到瀑布的另一边传来了说话声。他喊道,但激流的声音淹没了他。接着Whitson计划用向瀑布里丢求救瓶的方式来求救,丢求救瓶这是一种能够被人发现的机会很渺茫的方式,因此Whitson知道这是一次很疯狂大胆的尝试。由此可知,划线部分意思为“这是一次疯狂的尝试”。故选A。

【68题详解】

推理判断题。根据第十段中As the evening wore on, they placed a headlamp with a flashing light on a ledge. By about 10:30 p.m., they decided they probably weren’t going to get rescued that night, so they pulled out their sleeping bags.可知,随着夜幕的降临,他们在岩石上放了一盏带闪光灯的头灯。那天晚上10:30左右,他们认为自己可能无法获救,于是拿出了睡袋。由此可知,Whitson把一盏有闪光灯的头灯放在岩石上,是为了增加获救的机会。故选C。

【69题详解】

细节理解题。根据倒数第五段The helicopter circled as the pilot looked for a good place to land. Finding none, the crew announced to the campers over the PA system that they would not be rescued until morning and told them to conserve their firewood.可知,直升机在飞行员寻找降落的好地方时盘旋。发现没有,机组人员通过PA系统向露营者宣布,他们要到早上才能获救,并告诉他们要节约木柴。由此可知,机组人员把营救推迟到第二天早上,是因为他们找不到安全的地方降落。故选C。

【70题详解】

细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中There were actually two little girls hiking with the men that day. It was the girls who first spotted the bottle and swam to get it.可知,那天有两个小女孩和男人们一起徒步旅行。是女孩们第一个发现了瓶子,然后游过去拿到了它。由此可知,两个小女孩从水里捡起了瓶子。故选A。

Everyone knows bullying (霸凌) is a huge problem, and we all need to work to stop it. But how? The science is unclear. While school districts across the country spend millions of dollars each year to stop bullying, not all anti-bullying programs work equally — and common approaches, it turns out, don’t work very well at all.

Many schools simply handle bullying by hosting an anti-bullying assembly. While that might be a good start experts agree that an annual address does little. “We can’t teach math overnight,” Catherine Bradshaw said, “It is not a skill you can learn in an hour. That is the whole issue with social emotional learning.”

When schools only host an assembly it sends the message to students that bullying isn’t important. That might mean students don’t seek help when they are being bullied or see a classmate being bullied. Bullying is a complex phenomenon. There are many reasons why children bully, why kids may be targeted. An approach needs to be comprehensive and touch all the risk factors and really can’t be seen as a short-term solution.

Another common strategy is to encourage the bully and victim to talk through the problem and promise to be nice to each other. While it sounds lovely, in the theory, the result normally contradicts the original intention.

A bullying prevention that’s integrated (融合) throughout the curriculum makes a difference. Heather Wellman, a seventh grade English language teacher, in Pueblo, Colorado, has used novels to explore social and emotional learning concepts around bullying. When her seventh grade students read Animal Farm they looked at whether Squealer was a good friend, which ties in with the anti-bullying and mental health program Sources of Strength that her school uses. Using fictional characters helps students better identify negative characteristics that might lead to bullying, while better understanding the books.

Sources of Strength encourages students to use positive things in their lives, such as helpful adult mentors (导师) or healthy activities, to address bullying. For example, the program helps children identify those strong people in their lives so they know where to turn if they do face problems.

Another strategy proven to reduce bullying: teaching social-emotional learning. This helps students better learn how to wrestle with their feelings in a positive way instead of taking it out on others. “They know what to do when they are bullied and develop skills with social and emotional learning so they can regulate their own emotions,” Bradshaw said.

Experts agree that any anti-bullying program is only as strong as a school’s commitment to it. To get results, you have to put in the time.

这是一篇说明文。文章说明了校园欺凌是一个很难处理的问题,并不是所有的反欺凌项目都是有效的。文章就此说明了两个常见的但并不有效的处理校园欺凌的方式,以及三个综合性的方法,最后指出反欺凌项目与学校、时间和精力的投入可以共同产生理想的效果。

【71题详解】

考查形容词。根据第一段中While school districts across the country spend millions of dollars each year to stop bullying, not all anti-bullying programs work equally — and common approaches, it turns out, don’t work very well at all.可知,虽然全国各地的学区每年花费数百万美元来制止校园欺凌,但并不是所有的反欺凌项目都能起到同样的效果——事实证明,通常的方法效果并不好。由此可知,校园欺凌很难处理,并不是所有的反欺凌项目都是有效的(effective)。此处为形容词effective做表语。故填effective。

【72题详解】

考查形容词。结合表格右边主要为列举了两项处理校园欺凌的常见但并没有什么效果的方式,修饰后文名词approaches应用形容词common/ineffective。故填Common/ Ineffective。

【73题详解】

考查动词。根据第三段中That might mean students don’t seek help when they are being bullied or see a classmate being bullied.可知,这可能意味着当学生被欺负或看到同学被欺负时,他们不会寻求帮助。由此可知,举办反欺凌大会可能是一个好的开始,然而,这将阻止学生在欺凌中寻求帮助。表示“阻止某人做某事”短语为discourage/block/prevent/stop/keep sb. from doing sth.,will后跟动词原形。故填discourage/block/prevent/stop/keep。

【74题详解】

考查名词。根据第三段中An approach needs to be comprehensive and touch all the risk, factors really can’t be seen as a short-term solution.可知,一个方法需要是全面的,涉及所有的风险,因素真的不能被视为一个短期的解决方案。由此可知,因此,短期方法没有意义或没有什么区别。表示“没有什么区别”短语为make little difference;表示“没有意义”短语为make little sense。故填difference/sense。

【75题详解】

考查名词。根据第四段Another common strategy is to encourage the bully and victim to talk through the problem and promise to be nice to each other. While it sounds lovely, in the theory, the result normally contradicts the original intention.可知,另一个常见的策略是鼓励欺负者和受害者讨论问题,并承诺善待彼此。虽然听起来很可爱,但在理论上,结果通常与初衷相悖。由此可知,鼓励欺负者和受害者理解问题,并承诺达成和解,听起来很合理,但可能会产生相反的效果。根据上文an可知,应填可数名词的单数形式,且表示“和解,妥协,协议”名词为accommodation/compromise/agreement。故填accommodation/compromise/agreement。

【76题详解】

【77题详解】

考查动词。根据第五段中Using fictional characters helps students better identify negative characteristics that might lead to bullying, while better understanding the books.可知,使用虚构的人物可以帮助学生更好地识别可能导致欺凌的负面特征,同时更好地理解书籍。由此可知,通过更好地理解小说,学生可以识别可能是欺凌的原因的负面特征。做谓语表示“识别,发现”动词为identify/discover/see,且can后跟动词原形。故填identify/discover/ see。

【80题详解】

81. 请阅读下面文字及图表,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

Mandarin (普通话) is the common language in China, but each region has its own dialect (方言). For travelers, a familiar accent can refresh the memory of their hometown.

According to an official video by the Chinese Education Ministry’s Language Com mission, among the more than 130 languages spoken in China, 68 of them are spoken by less than 10,000 people; and 25 by under 1,000.

Hu Shuning, a dialect preservationist, said, “I think it is natural with a society’s development that a dominant language appears, but from a cultural aspect I think dialects are still important, because they reflect cultural diversity.”

“Mandarin can take you further, but your dialect tells you where you come from,” said Wang Han, a well-known TV host.

【答案】In the face of the growing influence of mandarin, dialects are losing ground gradually. A survey reveals that younger people are more likely to be incapable of speaking their dialects.

Mandarin is crucial for China’s development in politics, economy and culture, but the significance of local dialects is undeniable. Actually, not only are dialects communication tools, but they also play a very important role in cultural heritage. Besides, it is dialects that contribute to the diversity of cultures in different regions.

Therefore, it is high time that dialects should be preserved so that they can be heard for the generations to come. Cultural activities can be organized in schools and neighborhoods to enhance people’s awareness of dialect protection. Live tutorials and salons on how to speak the language can also be given online. What’s more, local people are encouraged to write history books and compile textbooks and dictionaries in dialects.
