【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Helicopter (直升机) Transport部分Service time的第二句“Passengers should arrive at the waiting room at least 15 minutes before the departure time.(乘客应在飞机起飞前至少15分钟到达候机室)”可知,乘坐直升机的乘客需要至少提前15分钟到达候机室。故选A。

【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“It is really convenient and swift for travelers to travel between Hong Kong and Macau, with a straight-line distance of about 60 kilometers.(香港和澳门之间的直线距离约为60公里,非常方便快捷)”结合本文主要介绍了香港到澳门的三种交通方式及其时长和票价等相关信息。由此可推知,本文可能选自一个旅游网站。故选C。

''I'd like to play a game. That is so much fun. It's not so very hard to do.''
As soon as I hear ''Simple Simon says put your hands on your head'', I am back in my grandfather's living room on New Year's Day in the early 1970s. It was our family's favorite song to get the party started.
Grandfather's house was the gathering place for my mum, dad, aunties, uncles and cousins to meet up. My mum comes from a big family, so there was always lots of chatter and laughter. Whenever someone told a story they would get up and do all the actions to illustrate it, which was great fun.
Grandfather had a coal fire, so it was always warm, even if it was freezing outside. He sat in his armchair and happily watched everyone dancing while he smoked a pipe.
Once Simon Says had got the party going, other records would follow, such as Sugar, Sugar by the Archies.
Later there would be a sing-along, with everyone taking turns to sing old folk songs such as A Warship Had Landed. I would put my hands over my ears at this one as it was so sad.
Grandfather drove us home as he didn't drink. The road we travelled on was dark. There was one big bump(隆起物) that made us feel as if we were on a roller coaster(过山车). As we approached it, we would shout, ''Go faster, Grandfather! ''
I've been to many New Year parties, but none can match those family get-togethers at Grandfather's. You can keep your Gangnam Style moves—it's much more fun to dance along to Simon Says!
24. According to the text, the song Simon Says _______.
A. was written by the author's grandfather
B. was the only song the author could sing
C. was the first song the author learnt
D. was often played at the author's family's New Year parties
25. What does the underlined word ''illustrate'' in the third paragraph mean?
A. Explain. B. Retell
C. Represent D. Comment.
26. What can we learn from the text?
A. They never sang sad songs at their parties.
B. They were kept warm by a coal fire.
C. The author's grandfather liked drinking alcohol.
D. Smoking was forbidden at the author's grandfather's house.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Beautiful Song
B. My Kind Grandfather
C Unforgettable Family Parties
D. My Happy Childhood
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了作者小时候在祖父家度过的那些新年聚会充满乐趣和温馨,是他永远也忘不了的。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的As soon as I hear ''Simple Simon says put your hands on your head'', I am back in my grandfather's living room on New Year's Day in the early 1970s.It was our family's favorite song to get the party started.(我一听到Simple Simon says put your hands on your head这首歌,就会想起20世纪70年代早期在祖父家举行的新年聚会。它是我们家庭聚会时最喜欢的歌曲)可推测,Simple Simon says put your hands on your head这首歌经常在作者家人的新年聚会上播放。D. was often played at the author's family's New Year parties(经常在作者家人的新年聚会上播放)符合以上说法,故选D项。
【25题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段的Whenever someone told a story they would get up and do all the actions to illustrate it, which was great fun.可知,无论什么时候有人讲了一个故事,他们都会起床,然后用所有能用的动作来illustrate它,这非常有趣。根据句意可知,此处是指用动作来向其他人“说明”这个故事。由此推测划线部分的意思是“说明”。A. Explain.(解释)符合以上说法,故选A项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的Grandfather had a coal fire, so it was always warm, even if it was freezing outside. He sat in his armchair and happily watched everyone dancing while he smoked a pipe.(祖父点一堆煤火,因此家里总是很暖和,即使外面是极度寒冷的。他坐在他的扶手椅里,抽着烟,快乐地看大家跳舞)可知,大家围着一堆煤火跳舞,感觉很温暖。B. They were kept warm by a coal fire.(一团煤火温暖了他们)符合以上说法,故选B项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容,尤其是最后一段I've been to many New Year parties, but none can match those family get-togethers at Grandfather's. (我参加过很多的新年派对,但没一个能比得上在祖父家的那些家庭聚会。)可知,本文主要讲述了作者小时候在祖父家度过的那些新年聚会充满乐趣和温馨,是他永远也忘不了的。C. Unforgettable Family Parties(难忘的家庭聚会)可以作为本文标题,故选C项。
C
May Basket Day was a widespread custom of spring in the United States. It went something like this. As April rolled to an end, people would begin gathering flowers and candies and other goodies to put in May baskets to hang on the doors of friends, neighbors and loved ones on May 1. The practice has a long history, originating from the ancient European festival of spring, Beltane (an ancient Celtic festival), according to historian Marci Matson.
Through the 19th and 20th centuries, May Basket Day celebrations took place all across the nation: A newspaper reporter in 1871 wrote: “Made of paper generally, a May basket contains flowers and small presents, together with your respects, best wishes — love, perhaps. It is hung after dark at the door of anybody the hanger thinks of. — Once done, the said hanger knocks and takes flight. If the hanger hangs a May basket on someone’s door and the receiver catches him or her, it’s a great shame.”
Writer Louisa May Alcott had written about the curious tradition in New England in her 1880 children’s book Jack and Jill. From Alcott’s story: “Such a twanging (砰然一声) of doorbells; such a hurry to move with quick steps in the dark; such funny crashes as boys came racing round corners, or girls ran into one another’s arms as they climbed up and down steps secretly; such laughing, whistling, flying about of flowers and friendly feeling.”
Sadly, May Basket Day is disappearing. Though it is still practiced in some communities, fewer May baskets are seen hanging from doorknobs (门把手) of US families. Maybe it is because of a national fall from innocence (天真). Or an increased desire (渴望) for get-off-my-lawn privacy.
But we’re pleased to see more people choosing to decorate their front doors with flowers and baskets. And that has excited some interest again in May Day baskets. Perhaps the practice may help bring this old tradition back to life. Why not show someone you are thinking of them this May Basket Day?
28. What can we learn about May Basket Day?
A. It was celebrated in the morning. B. It fell at the end of April.
C. It was a festival for kids. D. It came from Europe.
29. What should the hanger do after hanging the basket?
A. Wait for the house’s owner. B. Try to catch the receiver.
C. Run away right away. D. Express best wishes.
30. Which can best describe the event in Alcott’s story?
A. Quiet and peaceful. B. Funny and exciting.
C. Strange and frightening. D. Emotional and touching.
31. What is the author’s wish for May Basket Day?
A. It can be popular again.
B. It can be celebrated in a simple way.
C. He can receive a May basket on the day.
D. He can make more May baskets on the day.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了曾经在美国一度很流行的五月花篮节。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The practice has a long history, originating from the ancient European festival of spring, Beltane (an ancient Celtic festival), according to historian Marci Matson.(根据历史学家Marci Matson的说法,这种做法有着悠久的历史,起源于古代欧洲春天的节日Beltane(一个古老的凯尔特节日))”可知,五月花篮节源于欧洲。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Once done, the said hanger knocks and takes flight. If the hanger hangs a May basket on someone’s door and the receiver catches him or her, it’s a great shame.(一旦完成,挂花篮者就会发出敲击声并跑开。如果挂五月篮子的人把篮子挂在别人的门上,而接篮的人抓住了他或她,这是非常可耻的)”可知,挂花篮者在门上挂好花篮之后,要赶紧跑开。take flight此处意为“跑开,逃走”。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中Louisa May Alcott描述的情景“Such a twanging (砰然一声) of doorbells; such a hurry to move with quick steps in the dark; such funny crashes as boys came racing round corners, or girls ran into one another’s arms as they climbed up and down steps secretly; such laughing, whistling, flying about of flowers and friendly feeling.(门铃砰的一声响;如此匆忙地在黑暗中快速移动;男孩们在拐角处跑来跑去,女孩们偷偷爬上爬下台阶时撞到彼此的怀里,这些都是有趣的碰撞声;这样的欢笑,呼啸,飞舞的鲜花和友好的感情)”以及该描写中用到的twanging、hurry、funny、crashes、laughing等词可知,孩子们庆祝五月花篮节的场景是非常搞笑、惊险刺激的。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段中的“Perhaps the practice may help bring this old tradition back to life. Why not show someone you are thinking of them this May Basket Day?(也许这种做法可以帮助这个古老的传统重新焕发生机。为什么不让别人知道你在想他们呢?)”可知,作者希望五月花篮节能够再次流行起来。故选A。
D
Music has been around since the first man walked on the Earth. Every beat or sound our ancestors heard was in some way a kind of music. Dating back to the early age, music would have been something as simple as the sound of the sea wave, or a wild animal running across the plain. Today’s music is so varied that almost every child or teenager has a long list of favorite songs that they like to listen to on their smartphone or other devices.
But even with such a large variety of music forms today, I’m sure the traditionalists wouldn’t agree with what today’s youngsters refer to as good music. Nowadays, young people are looking to discover the latest “in music”. This is the sort of music that is able to make everyone feel great at the moment but soon forgotten once something better comes along.
For me, I’m truly in love with rock music. Rock is a hugely misunderstood type, with many people simply connecting it with negative social problems such as drugs and overdrinking, given that some of the world’s most famous rock stars have been in the press for their frightening behaviors under the influence of beers or wines. However, it is important to tell the difference between artists and their music, and not make unnecessary judgments about the music just because of the behavior of the musician.
Another widely misunderstood belief is that rock music is only about drums and guitars, when that is just its outward face. A wide variety of other instruments are important to rock, and make an important contribution to the sound of the music as a whole, other than just guitars and drums.
32. Why does the author mention the nature sound in paragraph 1?
A. To show the simplicity of early music. B. To present the variety of early music.
C. To indicate the history of music. D. To promote people’s love of nature.
33. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. Music changes over time. B. Music comes in various forms.
C. “In music” challenges the traditionalists. D. Opinions are divided on music preference.
34. Why is rock music often misunderstood?
A. Media only reports musicians negatively. B. Some rock stars behave improperly.
C. Rock expresses drugs and overdrinking. D. Music instruments of rock are traditional.
35. What does the author want to express in general?
A. Every teenager has their own favorite songs. B. Traditional music can easily be forgotten.
C. Music should be judged fairly. D. Drums and guitars stand for rock music.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,指出当代年轻人与传统主义者所喜欢的音乐不同,以及摇滚乐被误解的两大方面并对此加以澄清。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的第三句“Dating back to the early age, music would have been something as simple as the sound of the sea wave, or a wild animal running across the plain.”(早期音乐十分简单,如海浪声或是野生动物在平原上奔跑的声音。)可知,提到自然声音用于举例说明早期音乐的简单质朴。故选A项。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“But even with such a large variety of music forms today, I’m sure the traditionalists wouldn’t agree with what today’s youngsters refer to as good music. Nowadays, young people are looking to discover the latest “in music”. This is the sort of music that is able to make everyone feel great at the moment but soon forgotten once something better comes along.”(但即使今天有如此多样的音乐形式,我相信传统主义者也不会认可当下年轻人所说的好音乐。如今,年轻人追求最新的“流行音乐”。这种音乐能够让每个人此刻都感觉很棒,但一旦有更好的东西出现,很快就会被忘记。)可知,该段主要讲的是当下年轻人与传统主义者音乐喜好偏向的不同,许多年轻人更喜欢流行音乐,而传统主义者不认可这些年轻人所认为的好音乐。故选D项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的第二句“Rock is a hugely misunderstood type, with many people simply connecting it with negative social problems such as drugs and overdrinking, given that some of the world’s most famous rock stars have been in the press for their frightening behaviors under the influence of beers or wines.”(摇滚是最受人误解的音乐,许多人只是单纯把摇滚与诸如吸毒和酗酒等负面社会问题联系在一起,这是因为世界上一些最著名的摇滚明星曾在啤酒或葡萄酒影响下做出了可怕的行为,被媒体报道。)可知,摇滚乐常常遭人误解是由某些摇滚明星的不当行为导致的。故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段介绍早期音乐的形式;第二段谈论当下年轻人与传统主义者的不同音乐偏向;最后两段谈论人们对摇滚乐的两大误解,并表明自己的观点:“However, it is important to tell the difference between artists and their music, and not make unnecessary judgments about the music just because of the behavior of the musician.”(然而,重要的是要区分艺术家和他们的音乐之间的差异,不要仅仅因为音乐家的行为就对音乐做出不必要的判断。)即不要对音乐做出不必要的判断,这段话出自第三段的最后一句。所以,本文作者主要想表达的是要公正评判音乐。故选C项。

(如果一个拿走了我们的钱,房子,汽车,甚至我们的衣服,我们仍然可以生存。)”和下文“That is why we always try to eat in a healthy way and exercise regularly.

【59题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:音乐必须大声播放,表演者必须用尖锐的声音唱歌才能让人们听到。此处应用名词voice作宾语,表示“嗓音”,为可数名词,前面无冠词,此处应用复数形式表示泛指,且由performers可知,也应用复数,故填voices。

70. Music gave me hope and a sense of ________ (satisfy). (所给词的适当形式填空)

【答案】absolutely
【解析】

76. However, the more polite you are, the less likely it is that you will be attacked. (英译汉)

【答案】然而,你越有礼貌,你被攻击的可能性就越小。
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型、形容词、it作形式主语、主语从句、动词语态。副词However“然而”,作状语。“the+比较级……,the+比较级……”为固定句型,表示“越……,就越……”。逗号前的句子中:主语是you“你”;are为系动词;形容词polite“礼貌的”,比较级为more polite,作表语。逗号后的句子中:形容词likely“可能的”,less likely“可能性较小”,作表语;形式主语为it;is为系动词;that引导主语从句。主语从句中:主语是you;attack意为“攻击”,will be attacked是“将被攻击”,是一般将来时的被动语态;从句不缺少成分或含义,用that引导。故翻译为:然而,你越有礼貌,你被攻击的可能性就越小。
77. It’s an honor to be here to share with you the story of how music has had an impact on my life. (英译汉)
_________________________________________________________________________
【答案】很荣幸来到这里与大家一起分享音乐是如何影响我的人生的。
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型、宾语从句。表示“做某事是我的荣幸”用固定句型it’s an honor to do sth.,其中it是形式主语,名词honor“荣幸”为表语,不定式作真正的主语,本句用不定式短语to be here“来到这里”作真正的主语,本句描述一般事实,句子时态用一般现在时;表示“与……分享某物”用固定短语share with sb. sth.,用不定式,作目的状语;表示“你们”用you,作with的宾语;表示“……的故事”用the story of。表示“音乐是如何影响我的人生”用宾语从句,宾语从句中:表示“如何”用how,引导宾语从句;表示“音乐”用music,作主语;表示“对……有影响”用have an effect on sth.,这一动作开始于过去,持续到现在,句子时态应用现在完成时,又因主语music是第三人称单数,所以助动词用has;表示“我的人生”用my life,作on的宾语。故翻译为It’s an honor to be here to share with you the story of how music has had an impact on my life.
78. If you keep your eyes open ,you will be surprised to find that you can see both its past and its present. (英译汉)
【答案】用心去观察,它的过去与现在都将展示在你的面前,令你叹为观止。
【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构,时态和从句。分析句子可知,本句含有if引导的条件状语从句,从句是主谓宾补结构,主语是 you“你”, keep是谓语动词,your eyes“你的眼睛”是宾语,形容词open“睁开”,为宾语补足语。keep one’s eyes open为“注意,用心去观察”之意。主句含有宾语从句。主语是 you“你”,be surprised to对……感到吃惊,will be surprised to find 是谓语动词,that从句是宾语从句。宾语从句中为主谓宾结构。主语是 you“你”, can see “能够看到”是谓语动词, both its past and its presen“它的过去与现在”是宾语。故本句可译为:用心去观察,它的过去与现在都将展示在你的面前,令你叹为观止。
79. 音乐是心灵的良药。(汉译英)
_________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Music is the medicine of the mind.
【解析】
【详解】考查主系表结构。“音乐”是主语,翻译为music,“心灵的良药”是表语,翻译为the medicine of the mind,句子描述了一个客观事实,故使用一般现在时。故句子可翻译为Music is the medicine of the mind.
80. 简(Jan)的生活因互联网而得到了极大的改善。(汉译英)
_________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Jan’s life has been greatly improved by the Internet.
【解析】
【详解】考查现在完成时的被动语态。分析句子结构,主语是Jan’ life,谓语是“得到了极大改善”,这在英文中是被动语态,时态方面应该选择现在完成时,表示对现在生活的影响,故翻译为has been greatly improved。“因为互联网”可以作为被动语态的发出者,由by引导,翻译为by the Internet。故整句可翻译为Jan’s life has been greatly improved by the Internet.

''I'd like to play a game. That is so much fun. It's not so very hard to do.''
As soon as I hear ''Simple Simon says put your hands on your head'', I am back in my grandfather's living room on New Year's Day in the early 1970s. It was our family's favorite song to get the party started.
Grandfather's house was the gathering place for my mum, dad, aunties, uncles and cousins to meet up. My mum comes from a big family, so there was always lots of chatter and laughter. Whenever someone told a story they would get up and do all the actions to illustrate it, which was great fun.
Grandfather had a coal fire, so it was always warm, even if it was freezing outside. He sat in his armchair and happily watched everyone dancing while he smoked a pipe.
Once Simon Says had got the party going, other records would follow, such as Sugar, Sugar by the Archies.
Later there would be a sing-along, with everyone taking turns to sing old folk songs such as A Warship Had Landed. I would put my hands over my ears at this one as it was so sad.
Grandfather drove us home as he didn't drink. The road we travelled on was dark. There was one big bump(隆起物) that made us feel as if we were on a roller coaster(过山车). As we approached it, we would shout, ''Go faster, Grandfather! ''
I've been to many New Year parties, but none can match those family get-togethers at Grandfather's. You can keep your Gangnam Style moves—it's much more fun to dance along to Simon Says!
24. According to the text, the song Simon Says _______.
A. was written by the author's grandfather
B. was the only song the author could sing
C. was the first song the author learnt
D. was often played at the author's family's New Year parties
25. What does the underlined word ''illustrate'' in the third paragraph mean?
A. Explain. B. Retell
C. Represent D. Comment.
26. What can we learn from the text?
A. They never sang sad songs at their parties.
B. They were kept warm by a coal fire.
C. The author's grandfather liked drinking alcohol.
D. Smoking was forbidden at the author's grandfather's house.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Beautiful Song
B. My Kind Grandfather
C. Unforgettable Family Parties
D. My Happy Childhood
C
May Basket Day was a widespread custom of spring in the United States. It went something like this. As April rolled to an end, people would begin gathering flowers and candies and other goodies to put in May baskets to hang on the doors of friends, neighbors and loved ones on May 1. The practice has a long history, originating from the ancient European festival of spring, Beltane (an ancient Celtic festival), according to historian Marci Matson.
Through the 19th and 20th centuries, May Basket Day celebrations took place all across the nation: A newspaper reporter in 1871 wrote: “Made of paper generally, a May basket contains flowers and small presents, together with your respects, best wishes — love, perhaps. It is hung after dark at the door of anybody the hanger thinks of. — Once done, the said hanger knocks and takes flight. If the hanger hangs a May basket on someone’s door and the receiver catches him or her, it’s a great shame.”
Writer Louisa May Alcott had written about the curious tradition in New England in her 1880 children’s book Jack and Jill. From Alcott’s story: “Such a twanging (砰然一声) of doorbells; such a hurry to move with quick steps in the dark; such funny crashes as boys came racing round corners, or girls ran into one another’s arms as they climbed up and down steps secretly; such laughing, whistling, flying about of flowers and friendly feeling.”
Sadly, May Basket Day is disappearing. Though it is still practiced in some communities, fewer May baskets are seen hanging from doorknobs (门把手) of US families. Maybe it is because of a national fall from innocence (天真). Or an increased desire (渴望) for get-off-my-lawn privacy.
But we’re pleased to see more people choosing to decorate their front doors with flowers and baskets. And that has excited some interest again in May Day baskets. Perhaps the practice may help bring this old tradition back to life. Why not show someone you are thinking of them this May Basket Day?
28. What can we learn about May Basket Day?
A. It was celebrated in the morning. B. It fell at the end of April.
C. It was a festival for kids. D. It came from Europe.
29. What should the hanger do after hanging the basket?
A. Wait for the house’s owner. B. Try to catch the receiver.
C. Run away right away. D. Express best wishes.
30. Which can best describe the event in Alcott’s story?
A. Quiet and peaceful. B. Funny and exciting.
C. Strange and frightening. D. Emotional and touching.
31. What is the author’s wish for May Basket Day?
A. It can be popular again.
B. It can be celebrated in a simple way.
C. He can receive a May basket on the day.
D. He can make more May baskets on the day.
D
Music has been around since the first man walked on the Earth. Every beat or sound our ancestors heard was in some way a kind of music. Dating back to the early age, music would have been something as simple as the sound of the sea wave, or a wild animal running across the plain. Today’s music is so varied that almost every child or teenager has a long list of favorite songs that they like to listen to on their smartphone or other devices.
But even with such a large variety of music forms today, I’m sure the traditionalists wouldn’t agree with what today’s youngsters refer to as good music. Nowadays, young people are looking to discover the latest “in music”. This is the sort of music that is able to make everyone feel great at the moment but soon forgotten once something better comes along.
For me, I’m truly in love with rock music. Rock is a hugely misunderstood type, with many people simply connecting it with negative social problems such as drugs and overdrinking, given that some of the world’s most famous rock stars have been in the press for their frightening behaviors under the influence of beers or wines. However, it is important to tell the difference between artists and their music, and not make unnecessary judgments about the music just because of the behavior of the musician.
Another widely misunderstood belief is that rock music is only about drums and guitars, when that is just its outward face. A wide variety of other instruments are important to rock, and make an important contribution to the sound of the music as a whole, other than just guitars and drums.
32. Why does the author mention the nature sound in paragraph 1?
A To show the simplicity of early music. B. To present the variety of early music.
C. To indicate the history of music. D. To promote people’s love of nature.
33. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. Music changes over time. B. Music comes in various forms.
C. “In music” challenges the traditionalists. D. Opinions are divided on music preference.
34. Why is rock music often misunderstood?
A. Media only reports musicians negatively. B. Some rock stars behave improperly.
C. Rock expresses drugs and overdrinking. D. Music instruments of rock are traditional.
35. What does the author want to express in general?
A. Every teenager has their own favorite songs. B. Traditional music can easily be forgotten.
C. Music should be judged fairly. D. Drums and guitars stand for rock music.
