If everyone has a car and drives anywhere they want to go, there will be serious traffic problems on the road. Luckily, trains are a good form of public transport. British people use trains a lot. This is especially so for people who are travelling from London to Paris. Every day about 20 trains leave London. They travel at high speed and people feel glad that the trains take only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Paris. It’s much faster to travel by train than by bus or by car. This is because people have to drive cars or buses very carefully and slowly for many reasons. such as speed limits and traffic jams. However, when you are travelling by train, the speed is almost the same and there is no traffic jam for a train. Besides, Londoners think taking a train is one of the safest ways of travelling on the ground. Trains take quite a number of quality tests while they are made. More importantly, they have to take many safety checks before they are used on the rail track (轨道). What’s more, trains in Britain are comfortable and provide fine services for their users. When you are on a London train, you will find that the train has comfortable tables and seats where people can sit. They also provide food services and power plugs (电源插头) for personal computers or mobile phones. 41. In a traffic jam on the road, __________. A. drivers can drive fast B. drivers can drive carelessly C. cars are not moving fast D. cars will stop working 42. The 3rd paragraph of the passage mainly talks about the __________ of trains. A. speed B. safety C. services D. problems 43. Londoners often travel by train because trains are __________. A. old and slow B. large, clean and powerful C. fine and important D. fast, safe and comfortable 【答案】41. C 42. B 43. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了伦敦人喜欢坐火车的原因。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“This is because people have to drive cars or buses very carefully and slowly for many reasons, such as speed limits and traffic jams.”可知，在路上堵车时，汽车开得不快，故选C。 【42题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Besides, Londoners think taking a train is one of the safest ways of travelling on the ground...”可知，第三段主要介绍了火车的安全，故选B。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It’s much faster to travel by train than by bus or by car.”以及“Besides, Londoners think taking a train is one of the safest ways of travelling on the ground.”及“What’s more, trains in Britain are comfortable and provide fine services for their users.”可知，因为火车快、安全并舒适，故选D。 B As spring comes, many people can enjoy the new growth. Gardening is a popular outdoor activity. It gives us beautiful plants, pleasant smelling flowers and fresh fruits and vegetables in this season. And you may have a great time getting outside in spite of (尽管) getting dirty. _______________ Gardening is a great activity to do with children. It gets them outdoors and off computers, televisions and other electronics. You cannot hold any electronic when your hands are filled with dirt. Gardening can be a great teacher for children. They can learn about nature and wildlife. It can teach them about where food comes from and healthy eating. It can also help them to understand the limits of natural resources and the importance of using them carefully. Also, gardening can help children exercise. When gardening, you must work small muscles by doing different movements-bending, twisting, stretching and lifting. Sometimes gardening needs repeated actions, which have a calming influence on the brain, but are not in the same way when we use computers. Reducing loneliness and stress Gardening connects people. It is a perfect time to socialize with your neighbours. Gardeners usually enjoy showing others what they grow. And most enjoy sharing advice and stories about their gardens. Gardening may also help you feel calm and happy. A study by researchers in the Netherlands found gardening may reduce the stress hormone (压力荷尔蒙) cortisol (皮质醇) in the brain. Scientists say high levels of cortisol in the body interfere (干扰) with learning and memory. It can also increase a person’s weight, blood pressure and cholesterol (胆固醇) levels. High levels of cortisol increase the risk for depression (抑郁), mental illness and lower life expectancy. Being good for brain health Gardening may help your brain stay young. In another study in 2006, researchers looked at more than 2,800 people over 60. They studied their lifestyle habits, activities and health over a 16-year period. They found that gardening could lower risk of future dementia (痴呆) by 36 percent. Since gardening connects you to nature and pleases all of your senses, let’s go in for it. 44. Which of the following can be put in the blank in Line 4 of the passage? A. Learning about nature B. Getting away from electronic C. Being a healthy activity for children D. Exercising yourself by gardening 45. What can we learn from the passage? A. Gardening can help neighbours form a close relationship. B. Low levels of cortisol in the body make memory worse. C. Too much cortisol doesn’t lead to the risk for depression. D. Researchers studied people over 60 for a period of 36 years. 46. The writer encourages us to __________ in the last paragraph. A. grow vegetables for sale B. take up gardening as a hobby C. get away from illness D. know the advantages of gardening 【答案】44. C 45. A 46. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了园艺的好处。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据后文“Gardening is a great activity to do with children.”，“ Gardening can be a great teacher for children. ”及“ Also, gardening can help children exercise.”都是介绍园艺对孩子的好处，由此推测此处缺少的应该是园艺对儿童非常有益的表达，C项“对于儿童是健康的活动”，符合情景，故选C。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Gardening connects people. It is a perfect time to socialize with your neighbours.”可知，园艺有助于邻里间形成密切关系，故选A。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据短文最后“Since gardening connects you to nature and pleases all of your senses, let’s go in for it.”可知，作者在鼓励大家尝试园艺，即把将园艺作为业余爱好，故选B。 C One Christmas Eve, old Scrooge and Bob were working busily in his office. It was a cold, foggy day. The fog was so thick that the houses opposite were like ghosts. It was only three o’clock in the afternoon, but it was already quite dark. “Merry Christmas, Uncle! God bless you!” cried a happy voice. It was Scrooge’s nephew. “Bah!” said Scrooge “Humbug (骗人的话)!” “Christmas is a humbug! Surely you don’t mean that, Uncle.” said his nephew. “I do,” said Scrooge. “Merry Christmas! What reason have you got to be merry? You’re poor.” “OK, then,” replied the nephew cheerfully. “What reason have you got to be sad? You are rich. Don’t be angry, Uncle!” said his nephew. “What else can I be?” answered the uncle. “I live in a world of fools (傻子)! Merry Christmas! What’s Christmas time to you? It’s a time for paying bills without money. It’s a time for finding yourself a year older, but not richer. Everyone who goes around saying ‘Merry Christmas’ should have his tongue cut out. Yes, he should!” “Uncle! Please don’t say that!” said the nephew. “I’ve always thought of Christmas time as a good time, a kind, and a charitable, happy time. And so, Uncle, Christmas has never put any gold or silver in my pocket, but I think it has done me good. And it will do me good. And I say, God bless it!” Bob, standing in the corner of the room, applauded (鼓掌). He realized his mistake very soon, and went quickly back to his work, but Scrooge had heard him. “One more sound from you, Bob Cratchit,” said Scrooge, “and you’ll celebrate Christmas by losing your job!” “Don’t be angry with him, Uncle. Come and have dinner with us tomorrow.” “No.” said Scrooge. “I’m sorry you don’t want to celebrate Christmas. But I do. So a Merry Christmas, Uncle!” “Good afternoon!” said Scrooge. “And a Happy New Year!” said his nephew. “Good afternoon!” said Scrooge again. His nephew left the room. He stopped to wish Bob a Merry Christmas. And Bob replied, “A Merry Christmas to you, too.” From A Christmas Carol 47. In which season did the story take place? A. Spring. B. Summer. C. Autumn. D.

Scrooge would have dinner with his nephew on Christmas Day. 【答案】47. D 48. C 49. B 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文节选自小说《圣诞颂歌》，文章讲述吝啬鬼Scrooge在圣诞节前夕对侄子的祝福嗤之以鼻，认为圣诞节是骗人的，而侄子则乐观地看待圣诞节，认为它带来了善良和快乐，并邀请Scrooge共进晚餐但被拒绝。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据“One Christmas Eve”和“It was a cold, foggy day.”可知，寒冷的圣诞前夜应是在冬季。故选D。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Humbug (骗人的话)!”及“What else can I be?...I live in a world of fools! Merry Christmas! What’s Christmas time to you?”可知，当他的侄子祝他圣诞节快乐的时候，他的回应是那是骗人的话，而且Scrooge觉得过圣诞节的人都是傻子，由此可知他认为圣诞祝愿是愚蠢的。故选C。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据“One more sound from you, Bob Cratchit… and you’ll celebrate Christmas by losing your job!”可知，Scrooge能让Bob失去工作，由此推测Scrooge是Bob的老板。故选B。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Bob, standing in the corner of the room, applauded (鼓掌).”以及“His nephew left the room. He stopped to wish Bob a Merry Christmas.

Energy lights our cities and powers our cars, trains, planes and rockets. It warms our homes, cooks our food, plays our music and makes the pictures on our televisions. _____51_____ And energy comes from many places. For example, energy from the sun’s light dries our clothes. ____52____ Plants keep some of that energy inside of them. When a deer eats a plant, it gets that energy. It uses that energy to live. If a tiger eats that deer, the tiger will get some of that same energy. Many different kinds of energy come from different places, but there are two main groups we can put energy into: renewable (可再生的) and nonrenewable. Renewable energy can be used over and over again. It comes from things like sunlight, wind, plants, moving water and the Earth’s heat. We can use these things to make electricity. ____53____ There will always be sunlight, there will always be wind, and the Earth will always be hot inside. If we use these sources for energy, we’ll never run out. ____54____ We are getting most of our energy from nonrenewable sources. We say they are non-renewable because we are using them more quickly than they can be made. Most of these are fossil fuels (化石燃料) like oil, natural gas and coal. It had taken the Earth millions of years to make fossil fuels from dead plants and animals as old as dinosaurs. There is no fast way to make fossil fuels, but we are using them very quickly. Remember that it’s our duty to protect the energy. A. But we have many energy problems now. B. That energy also helps plants to grow. C. And we don’t have to worry about running out of them. D.

As soon as visitors enter the GEM, they’ll be greeted by the Statue of King Ramesses Ⅱ. The12-metre-tall statue weighs more than 80 tonnes. It was moved to the museum from a square outside of Cairo’s main railway station. For the first time, visitors will also be able to see all of the 5,000 objects from the tomb (陵墓) of Tutankhamun. The young king’s golden mask is among the best-known artworks from ancient Egypt. The GEM is expected to attract six million visitors every year.

Is there anything else you’d like to talk to our __________ (read)? 【答案】readers 【解析】 【详解】句意：你还有什么别的事情想和我们的读者谈吗？our是形容词性物主代词，后面修饰名词。talk to sb意思是“和某人聊天”，故此空要填写与人相关的一个词。reader“读者”，读者一般不止一个人，所以变为名词复数，故填readers。 69. British people think it __________ (polite) to talk about subjects like age, weight or money. 【答案】impolite 【解析】 【详解】句意：英国人认为谈论年龄、体重或金钱等话题是不礼貌的。根据“British people think it...to talk about subjects like age, weight or money.”和常识可知，英国人认为谈论年龄，体重等是不礼貌的，形容词impolite“不礼貌的”符合题意，其在句中作宾语补足语。故填impolite。 70.

If everyone has a car and drives anywhere they want to go, there will be serious traffic problems on the road. Luckily, trains are a good form of public transport. British people use trains a lot. This is especially so for people who are travelling from London to Paris. Every day about 20 trains leave London. They travel at high speed and people feel glad that the trains take only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Paris. It’s much faster to travel by train than by bus or by car. This is because people have to drive cars or buses very carefully and slowly for many reasons. such as speed limits and traffic jams. However, when you are travelling by train, the speed is almost the same and there is no traffic jam for a train. Besides, Londoners think taking a train is one of the safest ways of travelling on the ground. Trains take quite a number of quality tests while they are made. More importantly, they have to take many safety checks before they are used on the rail track (轨道). What’s more, trains in Britain are comfortable and provide fine services for their users. When you are on a London train, you will find that the train has comfortable tables and seats where people can sit. They also provide food services and power plugs (电源插头) for personal computers or mobile phones. 41. In a traffic jam on the road, __________. A. drivers can drive fast B. drivers can drive carelessly C. cars are not moving fast D. cars will stop working 42. The 3rd paragraph of the passage mainly talks about the __________ of trains. A. speed B. safety C. services D. problems 43. Londoners often travel by train because trains are __________. A. old and slow B. large, clean and powerful C. fine and important D. fast, safe and comfortable B As spring comes, many people can enjoy the new growth. Gardening is a popular outdoor activity. It gives us beautiful plants, pleasant smelling flowers and fresh fruits and vegetables in this season. And you may have a great time getting outside in spite of (尽管) getting dirty. _______________ Gardening is a great activity to do with children. It gets them outdoors and off computers, televisions and other electronics. You cannot hold any electronic when your hands are filled with dirt. Gardening can be a great teacher for children. They can learn about nature and wildlife. It can teach them about where food comes from and healthy eating. It can also help them to understand the limits of natural resources and the importance of using them carefully. Also, gardening can help children exercise. When gardening, you must work small muscles by doing different movements-bending, twisting, stretching and lifting. Sometimes gardening needs repeated actions, which have a calming influence on the brain, but are not in the same way when we use computers. Reducing loneliness and stress Gardening connects people. It is a perfect time to socialize with your neighbours. Gardeners usually enjoy showing others what they grow. And most enjoy sharing advice and stories about their gardens. Gardening may also help you feel calm and happy. A study by researchers in the Netherlands found gardening may reduce the stress hormone (压力荷尔蒙) cortisol (皮质醇) in the brain. Scientists say high levels of cortisol in the body interfere (干扰) with learning and memory. It can also increase a person’s weight, blood pressure and cholesterol (胆固醇) levels. High levels of cortisol increase the risk for depression (抑郁), mental illness and lower life expectancy. Being good for brain health Gardening may help your brain stay young. In another study in 2006, researchers looked at more than 2,800 people over 60. They studied their lifestyle habits, activities and health over a 16-year period. They found that gardening could lower risk of future dementia (痴呆) by 36 percent. Since gardening connects you to nature and pleases all of your senses, let’s go in for it. 44. Which of the following can be put in the blank in Line 4 of the passage? A. Learning about nature B. Getting away from electronic C. Being a healthy activity for children D. Exercising yourself by gardening 45. What can we learn from the passage? A. Gardening can help neighbours form a close relationship. B. Low levels of cortisol in the body make memory worse. C. Too much cortisol doesn’t lead to the risk for depression. D. Researchers studied people over 60 for a period of 36 years. 46. The writer encourages us to __________ in the last paragraph. A. grow vegetables for sale B. take up gardening as a hobby C. get away from illness D. know the advantages of gardening C One Christmas Eve, old Scrooge and Bob were working busily in his office. It was a cold, foggy day. The fog was so thick that the houses opposite were like ghosts. It was only three o’clock in the afternoon, but it was already quite dark. “Merry Christmas Uncle! God bless you!” cried a happy voice. It was Scrooge’s nephew. “Bah!” said Scrooge “Humbug (骗人的话)!” “Christmas is a humbug! Surely you don’t mean that, Uncle.” said his nephew. “I do,” said Scrooge. “Merry Christmas! What reason have you got to be merry? You’re poor.” “OK, then,” replied the nephew cheerfully. “What reason have you got to be sad? You are rich. Don’t be angry, Uncle!” said his nephew. “What else can I be?” answered the uncle. “I live in a world of fools (傻子)! Merry Christmas! What’s Christmas time to you? It’s a time for paying bills without money. It’s a time for finding yourself a year older, but not richer. Everyone who goes around saying ‘Merry Christmas’ should have his tongue cut out. Yes, he should!” “Uncle! Please don’t say that!” said the nephew. “I’ve always thought of Christmas time as a good time, a kind, and a charitable, happy time. And so, Uncle, Christmas has never put any gold or silver in my pocket, but I think it has done me good. And it will do me good. And I say, God bless it!” Bob, standing in the corner of the room, applauded (鼓掌). He realized his mistake very soon, and went quickly back to his work, but Scrooge had heard him. “One more sound from you, Bob Cratchit,” said Scrooge, “and you’ll celebrate Christmas by losing your job!” “Don’t be angry with him, Uncle. Come and have dinner with us tomorrow.” “No.” said Scrooge. “I’m sorry you don’t want to celebrate Christmas. But I do. So a Merry Christmas, Uncle!” “Good afternoon!” said Scrooge. “And a Happy New Year!” said his nephew. “Good afternoon!” said Scrooge again. His nephew left the room. He stopped to wish Bob a Merry Christmas. And Bob replied, “A Merry Christmas to you, too.” From A Christmas Carol 47. In which season did the story take place? A. Spring. B. Summer. C. Autumn. D. Winter. 48. What did Scrooge think of Christmas wish? A. It was simple. B. It was important. C. It was foolish. D. It was necessary. 49. Which of the following is TRUE about Scrooge and Bob? A.

Energy lights our cities and powers our cars, trains, planes and rockets. It warms our homes, cooks our food, plays our music and makes the pictures on our televisions. _____51_____ And energy comes from many places. For example, energy from the sun’s light dries our clothes. ____52____ Plants keep some of that energy inside of them. When a deer eats a plant, it gets that energy. It uses that energy to live. If a tiger eats that deer, the tiger will get some of that same energy. Many different kinds of energy come from different places, but there are two main groups we can put energy into: renewable (可再生的) and nonrenewable. Renewable energy can be used over and over again. It comes from things like sunlight, wind, plants, moving water and the Earth’s heat. We can use these things to make electricity. ____53____ There will always be sunlight, there will always be wind, and the Earth will always be hot inside. If we use these sources for energy, we’ll never run out. ____54____ We are getting most of our energy from nonrenewable sources.
