Four of the World’s Natural Disasters
The following four natural disasters destroyed cities and communities around the world. By flood, typhoon, or earthquake, these events have collectively taken millions of human lives.
Yangtze River Flood
The major flood of 1931 covered tens of thousands of square miles, flooding rice fields and many cities, including Nanjing and Wuhan. The flood affected more than 50 million people. Government organizations, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, estimated (估计) that about 3.7 million people died in this disaster.
Typhoon Nina
Typhoon Nina struck Henan province of China in August 1975. The typhoon caused a serious dam (水坝) failure, and more than 150,000 people were dead or injured. According to reports, at least 26,000 people died in the floods. About 145,000 people died from diseases caused by water pollution and famine (饥荒). The number of people affected by the disaster was more than 10,000,000.
Kashmir Earthquake
On October 8, 2005, a disastrous earthquake struck the Kashmir region. The earthquake registered a magnitude of 7.6, followed by many aftershocks, landslides, and falling rocks. The seriousness of the damage and the high number of deaths were worsened by poor construction (建筑) in the affected areas. In Kashmir at least 79,000 people were killed, and more than 32,000 buildings broke down.
Haitian Earthquake
At the beginning of 2010, an earthquake hit Haiti. The earthquake registered a magnitude of 7.0 and was followed by aftershocks that registered magnitudes of 5.9 and 5.5. Another aftershock of magnitude 5.9 struck on January 20. There has been debate about the total number of deaths caused by this earthquake, but estimates suggest that about 200,000-300,000 people died. Hundreds of thousands more were forced to leave their homes.
21. Which natural disaster caused the most deaths?
A. Yangtze River Flood. B. Typhoon Nina.
C. Kashmir Earthquake. D. Haitian Earthquake.
22. What made the situation in Kashmir more serious?
A. The serious aftershocks. B. The diseases after earthquake.
C. The continuous falling rocks. D. The low construction quality.
23. What can we learn about the earthquake that hit Haiti?

B
In the sport of track and field, athletes compete not only with one another but against themselves, and in each race they try to achieve the new personal best.
For one Nebraska teen running in what would likely to be his final cross-country outing before graduating from high school, his personal best turned out not to be marking the fastest time but displaying the biggest heart.
Although it was a long shot when he came out from the starting position last Thursday, Brandon Schutt from Bellevue East High School knew if his time was good enough that day, he still had the potential to qualify for the upcoming state meet. A mile into the 3.1-mile race, however, Schutt realized he wasn’t going to be able to keep up the necessary momentum(势头). Rather than risking injury, he slowed to a comfortable pace that would allow him to simply get pleasure from the moment and the day.
Meanwhile, Blake Cerveny from Omaha Burke High School was running a very different kind of race. Aiming to beat his own personal record, after a fast start, he continued to push himself hard. With less than 400 meters to go, Cerveny’s legs cramped up (抽筋), but he didn’t give up. Cerveny rose from the ground and continued on, only to fall again after another 150 meters and again. About 100 meters away from the finish line, he lay curled on the ground. His legs had simply given out.
Before Cerveny’s dad could reach his son, Brandon Schutt was at his side to offer a helping hand. The two completed the final meters of the course. Schutt even made sure the injured runner crossed the finish line first, securing his opponent a faster time.
In today’s competitive world, while the emphasis in athletics is so often on breaking records, it is inspiring to see an athlete like Brandon Schutt.
24. What can we learn about Schutt at the beginning of the running?
A. He was confident to win the first place.
B. He was nervous about the coming graduation.
C. He was clear about his own strengths and weaknesses.
D. He was dissatisfied with the surrounding things.
25. Why did Brandon Schutt slow down after a mile?
A. To have a final push. B. To enjoy the competition.
C. To help Blake Cerveny. D. To examine his wounds.
26. What can we learn about Blake Cerveny in the race?
A. He was a person of determination.
B. He was generous to help others.
C. He didn’t cross the finish line.
D. He was affected by his physical disability.
27 What can be the best title of the passage?
A. The Love for Sports. B. The Sport of Track and Field.
C. The Importance of Perseverance. D. The Value of True Sportsmanship.
C
Years ago, many Mexican gray wolves lived in the United States. In the 1800s, cattle farmers were worried that these wolves would hunt and eat their farm animals. During the 1800s and 1900s, farmers killed many of these wolves to try to protect their animals. These wolves almost went extinct.
In 1976, the U. S. government passed the Endangered Species Act. These wolves were finally protected! And with help, the species continues to survive today.
The White Mountain Apache Tribe (部落)has played an important role in keeping this species alive. They live on a large area of land in Arizona called the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. This area is also a wolf habitat.
Krista Beazley is a wolf biologist on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. She tracks the movements of Mexican gray wolves that live on the land. Scientists have put special radio collars on wolves. These collars send out beeping signals (蜂鸣信号)to a special hand-held antenna (手持天线). Biologists like Beazley use these antennas to track the wolves. She also follows their footprints and droppings. Wolf droppings tell biologists what the wolf ate, where it spends much of its time, and if it is sick. Beazley makes sure the wolves are alive and healthy.
The number of Mexican gray wolves living on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation is growing. Despite this remarkable progress, the species is still endangered. The White Mountain Apache Tribe continues to try to protect these wolves.
The White Mountain Apache Tribe also works to protect many other rare plant and animal species. For example, they saved the Apache trout from extinction by closing certain areas to fishing and by building trout habitats. They also protect habitats for animals like the Mexican spotted owl. The White Mountain Apache Tribe has a close connect ion with all of nature. Tribe members believe humans must honor the animals and nature around them.
28. Why did Mexican gray wolves almost die out during the 1800s and 1900s?
A. They were eaten by farm animals. B. They were killed by cattle farmers.
C. Government passed laws to hunt them. D. They hardly survived in the extreme climates.
29. What was the result of the Endangered Species Act being passed?
A. The Mexican gray wolf was protected.
B. The Mexican gray wolf disappeared completely.
C. The White Mountain Apache Tribe settled in Arizona.
D. The Fort Apache Indian Reservation became a wolf habitat.
30. What may best describe Krista Beazley?
A. Kind and courageous. B. Careful and confident.
C. Hardworking and caring. D. Responsible and humorous.
31. What do we know about the White Mountain Apache Tribe?
A. They care about animals and nature around them.
B. They work hard to build habitats for all animals.
C. Their unique task is to protect Mexican gray wolves.
D. They try to keep Mexican gray wolves from increasing.

Becoming the captain of the cheerleaders is a significant accomplishment when you’re in Grade Eight about to conclude your school journey with a sense of glory. At least, that’s what I had expected. The process of counting the votes only took about five minutes, but for me, it felt like an hour and a half. As Coach Williams prepared to announce, I inched to the edge of my seat ready to spring to my feet as soon as she said my name.
“Girls,” she began, “Laura Shaw has been elected Captain of the Maplewood High School cheerleading team.” A great cheer was heard throughout the gym, but all I could do was to contain my hysteria (歇斯底里). How could this be? Was everyone blind? Didn’t they realize I had my heart set on this?
As everyone cheered for Laura, I didn’t move a step toward her. It felt like she had stolen my moment and my dream. After a few minutes, I walked over to Laura with shaky legs and softly said, “Good luck, Laura.” in a whisper that barely masked my urge to cry.
Laura hugged me close and said,“I wasn’t expecting this, Annie. What a shock.”I didn’t lash out at (痛斥) her but in my heart I wanted to do just that. Who was she to claim the title I had worked three years to earn?
All the way home, I sobbed. There was no way I was going to stay on a team so blind they couldn’t see who should be the captain. The next morning, however, I went to my closet and took out my uniform. Once holding it close to me in my hands, I knew I couldn’t quit. As heartbroken as I was, my true love was cheering with my teammates.
How very hard it was to go to that first practice after Laura had been named captain. When I arrived, Coach Williams asked me to take three of the new girls and work with them on our basic drills. Laura was assigned three new girls as well.
Just then Laura suggested all eight girls working together, and though I hesitated, I eventually agreed.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the award ceremony, Laura won her captain’s award, and then came the final “Cheerleading Spirit Award”.

17. What sport did the speaker coach?
A. Running. B. Swimming. C. Gymnastics.
18. What does the speaker think of herself in 1990?

19. How can motivation be promoted according to the speaker?

20. What does the speaker try to express in the talk?
A. Winning always equals success.
B. Developing champions is a win-win success.
C. Process of winning is more important than the result.
【答案】17. C 18. C 19. B 20. C
【解析】
【原文】W: I have a question for all of us. Is all winning success? Winning is really, really fun. But I am here to share my idea: Winning does not always equal success. All around the world, we have created the win-at-all-costs culture. We have become so focused on that end result instead of the process, and particularly when the end result is a win. Real success is developing champions in life for our world, win or lose. We may be able to plan our way to a win, but we can’t plan our way to success. Back to 1990, when I was first made the head coach of the UCLA Women’s Gymnastics Team. I acted like a head coach whose only thought was to figure out how to win. So I became tough-talking and mean. Our team asked me for a team meeting for over two hours. They gave me examples of how my arrogance was hurtful. Then I chose to change. It is so much easier to give orders than to figure out how to motivate someone to be better. We all know this motivation takes a really long time to take root. The key to promote motivation is to develop trust through patience and honesty. We are all coaches in some ways. We all have the responsibility to develop champions in life for our world. This is what real success looks like, and that is what we call a win-win.

Four of the World’s Natural Disasters
The following four natural disasters destroyed cities and communities around the world. By flood, typhoon, or earthquake, these events have collectively taken millions of human lives.
Yangtze River Flood
The major flood of 1931 covered tens of thousands of square miles, flooding rice fields and many cities, including Nanjing and Wuhan. The flood affected more than 50 million people. Government organizations, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, estimated (估计) that about 3.7 million people died in this disaster.
Typhoon Nina
Typhoon Nina struck Henan province of China in August 1975. The typhoon caused a serious dam (水坝) failure, and more than 150,000 people were dead or injured. According to reports, at least 26,000 people died in the floods. About 145,000 people died from diseases caused by water pollution and famine (饥荒). The number of people affected by the disaster was more than 10,000,000.
Kashmir Earthquake
On October 8, 2005, a disastrous earthquake struck the Kashmir region. The earthquake registered a magnitude of 7.6, followed by many aftershocks, landslides, and falling rocks. The seriousness of the damage and the high number of deaths were worsened by poor construction (建筑) in the affected areas. In Kashmir at least 79,000 people were killed, and more than 32,000 buildings broke down.
Haitian Earthquake
At the beginning of 2010, an earthquake hit Haiti. The earthquake registered a magnitude of 7.0 and was followed by aftershocks that registered magnitudes of 5.9 and 5.5. Another aftershock of magnitude 5.9 struck on January 20. There has been debate about the total number of deaths caused by this earthquake, but estimates suggest that about 200,000-300,000 people died. Hundreds of thousands more were forced to leave their homes.
21. Which natural disaster caused the most deaths?
A. Yangtze River Flood. B. Typhoon Nina.
C. Kashmir Earthquake. D. Haitian Earthquake.
22. What made the situation in Kashmir more serious?
A. The serious aftershocks. B. The diseases after earthquake.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍的是世界上四次自然灾难的相关情况。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Yangtze River Flood 部分中的“Government organizations, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, estimated (估计) that about 3.7 million people died in this disaster. (包括国家海洋和大气管理局在内的政府机构估计,约有370万人在这场灾难中丧生。)”可知,在这次灾难中约有370万人丧生;根据Typhoon Nina部分中的“According to reports, at least 26,000 people died in the floods. About 145,000 people died from diseases caused by water pollution and famine (饥荒). (据报道,至少有26000人死于洪水。大约145,000人死于水污染和饥荒引起的疾病。)”可知,这次洪水造成26,000人死亡,因水污染和饥荒造成死亡人数达到145,000人;根据Kashmir Earthquake部分中的“In Kashmir at least 79,000 people were killed, and more than 32,000 buildings broke down. (在克什米尔,至少有7.9万人丧生,3.2万多栋建筑倒塌。)”可知,在这次地震中丧生的人数有79,000人;根据Haitian Earthquake部分中的“There has been debate about the total number of deaths caused by this earthquake, but estimates suggest that about 200,000-300,000 people died.(关于这次地震造成的死亡总人数一直存在争议,但估计约有20万至30万人死亡。)”可知,在这次地震中丧生人数估计有20万至30万人,综上信息可知,在以上四大自然灾难中,导致死亡人数最多的应是长江洪水,造成了370万人丧生。故选A项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据Kashmir Earthquake 部分中的“The seriousness of the damage and the high number of deaths were worsened by poor construction (建筑) in the affected areas. (受灾地区糟糕的建筑使得破坏的严重性和死亡人数更加恶化。)”可知,在受灾区域糟糕的建筑使得破坏的严重性以及死亡人数更加恶化,由此可知,糟糕的建筑是使得克什米尔的情况更加糟糕。故选D项。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据Haitian Earthquake部分中的“There has been debate about the total number of deaths caused by this earthquake, but estimates suggest that about 200,000-300,000 people died. (关于这次地震造成的死亡总人数一直存在争议,但估计约有20万至30万人死亡。)”可知,发生在海地的这次地震造成的死亡人数一直存在争议,所以,在这次地震中我们了解到的是死亡人数有争议。故选C项。
B
In the sport of track and field, athletes compete not only with one another but against themselves, and in each race they try to achieve the new personal best.
For one Nebraska teen running in what would likely to be his final cross-country outing before graduating from high school, his personal best turned out not to be marking the fastest time but displaying the biggest heart.
Although it was a long shot when he came out from the starting position last Thursday, Brandon Schutt from Bellevue East High School knew if his time was good enough that day, he still had the potential to qualify for the upcoming state meet. A mile into the 3.1-mile race, however, Schutt realized he wasn’t going to be able to keep up the necessary momentum(势头). Rather than risking injury, he slowed to a comfortable pace that would allow him to simply get pleasure from the moment and the day.
Meanwhile, Blake Cerveny from Omaha Burke High School was running a very different kind of race. Aiming to beat his own personal record, after a fast start, he continued to push himself hard. With less than 400 meters to go, Cerveny’s legs cramped up (抽筋), but he didn’t give up. Cerveny rose from the ground and continued on, only to fall again after another 150 meters and again. About 100 meters away from the finish line, he lay curled on the ground. His legs had simply given out.
Before Cerveny’s dad could reach his son, Brandon Schutt was at his side to offer a helping hand. The two completed the final meters of the course. Schutt even made sure the injured runner crossed the finish line first, securing his opponent a faster time.
In today’s competitive world, while the emphasis in athletics is so often on breaking records, it is inspiring to see an athlete like Brandon Schutt.
24. What can we learn about Schutt at the beginning of the running?
A. He was confident to win the first place.
B. He was nervous about the coming graduation.
C. He was clear about his own strengths and weaknesses.
D. He was dissatisfied with the surrounding things.
25. Why did Brandon Schutt slow down after a mile?
A. To have a final push. B. To enjoy the competition.
C. To help Blake Cerveny. D. To examine his wounds.
26. What can we learn about Blake Cerveny in the race?
A. He was a person of determination.
B. He was generous to help others.
C. He didn’t cross the finish line.
D. He was affected by his physical disability.
27. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. The Love for Sports. B. The Sport of Track and Field.
C. The Importance of Perseverance. D. The Value of True Sportsmanship.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要讲述的是内布拉斯加州的一名青少年Brandon Schutt在最后一次参加高中的越野跑时,帮助在比赛中受伤的来自于奥马哈伯克高中的Blake Cerveny跑完了最后几米的故事,体现了真正的体育精神。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Although it was a long shot when he came out from the starting position last Thursday, Brandon Schutt from Bellevue East High School knew if his time was good enough that day, he still had the potential to qualify for the upcoming state meet.(上周四,来自Bellevue East High School的Brandon Schutt从首发位置上出来时,虽然希望渺茫,但他知道,如果那天他的表现足够好,他仍然有可能获得即将到来的洲际锦标赛的资格。)”可知,Brandon Schutt知道虽然机会渺茫,但是自己如果表现足够好,仍然可以获得参加将来的洲际锦标赛的资格,由此可知,Schutt很清楚自己的优点和缺点。故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A mile into the 3.1-mile race, however, Schutt realized he wasn’t going to be able to keep up the necessary momentum(势头). Rather than risking injury, he slowed to a comfortable pace that would allow him to simply get pleasure from the moment and the day. (然而,在3.1英里的比赛进行到1英里时,Schutt意识到他将无法保持必要的势头。与其冒着受伤的风险,他放慢了节奏,让自己从当下和这一天中得到快乐。)”可知,在进行到1英里的时候,Schutt意识到自己无法保持必要的势头,预期冒着受伤的风险,不如享受当下和这一天中得到快乐,由此可知,Schutt慢下来是为了享受比赛。故选B项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Aiming to beat his own personal record, after a fast start, he continued to push himself hard. With less than 400 meters to go, Cerveny’s legs cramped up (抽筋), but he didn’t give up. Cerveny rose from the ground and continued on, only to fall again after another 150 meters and again. About 100 meters away from the finish line, he lay curled on the ground.(为了打破自己的个人纪录,在快速起步后,他继续努力。在距离终点不到400米的时候,Cerveny的腿抽筋了,但他没有放弃。Cerveny从地面站起身,继续前进,但又在150米后再次摔倒。距离终点线大约100米的地方,他蜷曲着躺在地上。)”可知,Cerveny为了打破自己的记录,在距离终点不到400米的时候腿抽筋的情况下没有放弃,继续前行,又在150以后再次摔倒,仍坚持到还剩大约100米的时候,蜷曲着躺在地上,由此可知,Cerveny是一个意志坚定的人。故选A项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据尾段“In today’s competitive world, while the emphasis in athletics is so often on breaking records, it is inspiring to see an athlete like Brandon Schutt.(在当今竞争激烈的世界里,虽然体育运动的重点经常是打破记录,但看到像Brandon Schutt这样的运动员还是令人鼓舞的。)”以及上文中讲述的Brandon Schutt帮助自己在比赛过程中抽筋的竞争对手跑完最后几米的故事可知,体育运动的重点是打破纪录,但是在比赛过程中帮助竞争对手的体育精神更令人鼓舞,由此可知,本文主要讲述的是真正的体育精神的价值,所以题目“真正体育精神的价值”与本文的内容吻合,且体现了本文讲述的主题。故选D项。
C
Years ago, many Mexican gray wolves lived in the United States. In the 1800s, cattle farmers were worried that these wolves would hunt and eat their farm animals. During the 1800s and 1900s, farmers killed many of these wolves to try to protect their animals. These wolves almost went extinct.
In 1976, the U. S. government passed the Endangered Species Act. These wolves were finally protected! And with help, the species continues to survive today.
The White Mountain Apache Tribe (部落)has played an important role in keeping this species alive. They live on a large area of land in Arizona called the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. This area is also a wolf habitat.
Krista Beazley is a wolf biologist on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. She tracks the movements of Mexican gray wolves that live on the land. Scientists have put special radio collars on wolves. These collars send out beeping signals (蜂鸣信号)to a special hand-held antenna (手持天线). Biologists like Beazley use these antennas to track the wolves. She also follows their footprints and droppings. Wolf droppings tell biologists what the wolf ate, where it spends much of its time, and if it is sick. Beazley makes sure the wolves are alive and healthy.
The number of Mexican gray wolves living on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation is growing. Despite this remarkable progress, the species is still endangered. The White Mountain Apache Tribe continues to try to protect these wolves.
The White Mountain Apache Tribe also works to protect many other rare plant and animal species. For example, they saved the Apache trout from extinction by closing certain areas to fishing and by building trout habitats. They also protect habitats for animals like the Mexican spotted owl. The White Mountain Apache Tribe has a close connect ion with all of nature. Tribe members believe humans must honor the animals and nature around them.
28. Why did Mexican gray wolves almost die out during the 1800s and 1900s?
A. They were eaten by farm animals. B. They were killed by cattle farmers.
C. Government passed laws to hunt them. D. They hardly survived in the extreme climates.
29. What was the result of the Endangered Species Act being passed?
A. The Mexican gray wolf was protected.
B. The Mexican gray wolf disappeared completely.
C. The White Mountain Apache Tribe settled in Arizona.
D. The Fort Apache Indian Reservation became a wolf habitat.
30. What may best describe Krista Beazley?
A. Kind and courageous. B. Careful and confident.
C. Hardworking and caring. D. Responsible and humorous.
31. What do we know about the White Mountain Apache Tribe?
A. They care about animals and nature around them.
B. They work hard to build habitats for all animals.
C. Their unique task is to protect Mexican gray wolves.
D. They try to keep Mexican gray wolves from increasing.

第二节 将下列句子翻译成汉语。(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
52. Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge.(英译汉)
【答案】从初中过渡到高中真是一项巨大的挑战。
【解析】
【详解】考查动名词做主语金额时态。分析句子可知,本句是主系表结构,主语是Going from junior high school to senior high school “从初中过渡到高中 ”,is是系动词, a really big challenge.“一项巨大的挑战 ”。故本句可译为:从初中过渡到高中真是一项巨大的挑战。
53. The Winter Olympic Games are not just an opportunity for athletes to win medals and honour for their countries. (英译汉)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】冬季奥运会不仅仅是运动员为自己的国家赢得奖牌和荣誉的机会。
【解析】
【详解】考查名词和动词不定式。The Winter Olympic Games为句子主语,意为“冬季奥运会”,are句子的谓语,与not just共同翻译为“不仅仅是”,an opportunity作表语,意为“一个机会”,athletes介词for作宾语意为“运动员”,也是不定式短语to win medals and honour for their countries的逻辑主语,不定式短语作定语修饰名词opportunity,其中的medals 和 honour 作win的宾语,意为“为自己的国家赢得奖牌和荣誉的机会”,调整句子顺序,该句应译为“冬季奥运会不仅仅是运动员为自己的国家赢得奖牌和荣誉的机会”。故翻译为:冬季奥运会不仅仅是运动员为自己的国家赢得奖牌和荣誉的机会。
54. That app has been deleted from my smartphone already. (英译汉)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】那个应用已经从我智能手机上删除了。
【解析】
【详解】考查名词和动词。That app为名词作主语,意为“那个应用”,has been deleted为句子谓语,使用现在完成时的被动语态,意为“已经被删除”,from my smartphone为介词短语,my smartphone作介词from的宾语,意为“从我的智能手机上”,already为副词,意为“已经”,调整语序,该句翻译为“那个应用已经从我的智能手机上删除了”。故翻译为:那个应用已经从我的智能手机上删除了。
55. Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.(英译汉)
【答案】只有当我们学会与自然和谐相处时,我们才能停止对野生动物和地球的威胁。
【解析】
【详解】考查部分倒装和固定短语。“only+状语从句”从句置于句首时,主句进行部分倒装,情态动词can提至主语之前,learn to do sth.“学会做某事”, exist in harmony with nature“与自然和谐共处”,stop doing sth.“停止做某事”,a threat to wildlife and to our planet“对野生动物和地球的威胁”。综上故翻译为:只有当我们学会与自然和谐相处时,我们才能停止对野生动物和地球的威胁。
56. You can spend three days exploring the rainforest with a local guide and enjoying the plants and animals unique to the rainforest.(英译汉)
【答案】在三天里,您可以在当地导游的陪同下,深入雨林进行探索,欣赏雨林特有的动植物。
【解析】
【详解】考查动词、形容词和固定短语。you can spend为句子的主语和谓语,意为“你可以花费”,固定用法spend sometime doing sth.意为“花费时间做某事”,所以spend three days exploring the rain forest应为“花费三天时间探索雨林”,with a local guide意为“在一个当地导游的陪同下”,enjoying the plants and animals 意为“线上动植物”,与exploring the rain forest为并列动名词短语,unique to the rainforest意为“为雨林所特有的”作定语修饰名词the plants and animals,所以该句应译为“你可以花费三天时间,在当地导游的陪同下,探索雨林,欣赏雨林特有的动植物”,调整语序并对该句进行润色后可译为“在三天里,您可以在当地导游的陪同下,深入雨林进行探索,欣赏雨林特有的动植物”。故翻译为:在三天里,您可以在当地导游的陪同下,深入雨林进行探索,欣赏雨林特有的动植物。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
68. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Becoming the captain of the cheerleaders is a significant accomplishment when you’re in Grade Eight, about to conclude your school journey with a sense of glory. At least, that’s what I had expected. The process of counting the votes only took about five minutes, but for me, it felt like an hour and a half. As Coach Williams prepared to announce, I inched to the edge of my seat ready to spring to my feet as soon as she said my name.
“Girls” she began, “Laura Shaw has been elected Captain of the Maplewood High School cheerleading team.” A great cheer was heard throughout the gym, but all I could do was to contain my hysteria (歇斯底里). How could this be? Was everyone blind? Didn’t they realize I had my heart set on this?
As everyone cheered for Laura, I didn’t move a step toward her. It felt like she had stolen my moment and my dream. After a few minutes, I walked over to Laura with shaky legs and softly said, “Good luck, Laura.” in a whisper that barely masked my urge to cry.
Laura hugged me close and said,“I wasn’t expecting this, Annie. What a shock.”I didn’t lash out at (痛斥) her but in my heart I wanted to do just that. Who was she to claim the title I had worked three years to earn?
All the way home, I sobbed. There was no way I was going to stay on a team so blind they couldn’t see who should be the captain. The next morning, however, I went to my closet and took out my uniform. Once holding it close to me in my hands, I knew I couldn’t quit. As heartbroken as I was, my true love was cheering with my teammates.
How very hard it was to go to that first practice after Laura had been named captain. When I arrived, Coach Williams asked me to take three of the new girls and work with them on our basic drills. Laura was assigned three new girls as well.
Just then Laura suggested all eight girls working together, and though I hesitated, I eventually agreed.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the award ceremony, Laura won her captain’s award, and then came the final “Cheerleading Spirit Award”.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Just then Laura suggested all eight girls working together, and though I hesitated, I eventually agreed. We? Was she kidding? I just wanted to hate her and she kept making it harder and harder for me to do that. It wasn’t just that she showed interest in me—her interest was warm and genuine. Laura always made sure to include me when discussing changes in our routine and eventually I overcame myself and we grew to be very close friends.
At the award ceremony, Laura won her captain’s award, and then came the final “Cheerleading Spirit Award”. Later in the evening we arrived and listened as the various trophies were awarded to the most valuable player of each sports team. Just as Laura walked off the stage, Coach Williams stepped up to the microphone again and announced that there was one final trophy to be awarded. The cheerleading “Spirit Award” would now be presented to the girl who showed the most dedicated effort. When I heard my name announced I imagined I was as shocked Laura was coming toward me. We hugged each other, and Laura whispered, “Nobody deserves this more than you.”
