For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite. Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of Earth to show how clouds are moving. Satellites are also used to connect our phone calls. Computer connections of the World Wide Web and the Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to us by satellite. Airplane pilots sometimes also use a satellite to help them find their exact location. We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another. They are usually 35,880 kilometers above the equator (赤道). Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place. This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers an hour — exactly the same speed that the Earth rotates (转动). A satellite must move around the Earth with its antennae (天线) facing the Earth. Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit (轨道), so there are some rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position. This usually happens about every five or six days. Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit Earth. A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired. Often, very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit Earth for a very long time. This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other. 4. Which of the following is NOT done by satellite according to the passage? A. Sending information for weather forecasts. B Taking photographs of the Earth. C. Sending TV pictures to the Earth. D. Providing food for airplane pilots. 5. What’s the speed that the Earth rotates at? A. 35,880 kilometers per hour. B. 335,880 kilometers per hour. C. 11,000 kilometers per hour. D. 110,000 kilometers per hour. 6. What does the underlined word “This” in the third paragraph refer to? A. A satellite moves around the Earth forever. B. A rocket always keeps a satellite’s company. C. A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky. D. The satellite puts the rockets in the right position. 7. Which of the following statements about satellites is TRUE? A. A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years. B. Every time a satellite gets broken, it is thrown away. C. A broken satellite is never left in space. D. Broken satellites always crash into each other. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了卫星的工作原理和用途及使用时限。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite. Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of Earth to show how clouds are moving.(例如，天气预报的信息是由卫星发送的。有些卫星装有照相机，可以拍摄地球的照片，以显示云是如何移动的)”及第二段“Many of our TV programs come to us by satellite.(我们的许多电视节目是通过卫星播送的)”及第三段“We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another.(我们用卫星把电视图片从世界的一个地方传送到另一个地方)”可知，文章提到了卫星可以用来发送天气预报信息、拍摄地球照片、发送电视图片到地球，没有提到为飞行员提供食物。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers an hour — exactly the same speed that the Earth rotates(转动).(这是因为它以每小时11000公里的速度绕地球运行——与地球自转的速度完全相同)”可知，地球以每小时11000公里的速度自转。故选C。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段划线词前文“Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place.(有时我们可以在天空中看到一颗卫星，它似乎停留在同一个地方)”可知，This指代前文提到的一颗卫星似乎停留在天空的同一个地方。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years.(一颗卫星通常工作10-12年)”可知，一颗卫星的工作时间大约在10-12年。故选A。 C This is the last Christmas that Faye and Matthew have spent in their house, which has already been sold. Faye and Matthew Gooding and their five young sons appear to have perfect lives. For the couple themselves, however, this “materially perfect world” was lacking in something—so now they are giving up all their possessions to travel around the world with their children. Most of their belongings have been given to their neighbors. Faye said, “It is a relief to get rid of so many possessions. Thankfully, our parents understand and support us.” “I hesitated for a while because some friends think Faye and I are mad to give up so much. When we told the older boys, they were so excited that they were going to have so much time as a family. It made me realize the amount of toys or material possessions can’t replace time spent with our children. They’ve had to give away so many toys, bikes and books. My wife Faye was so determined to keep to our plan,” said Matthew. They will leave this month and plan to start their travels in Sweden where they have friends. Faye said, “My older boys plot where we go next but we hope to see Europe and over two years travel as far as Japan, America, Bali and Thailand. We don’t plan to hire any tour guides. We just depend on a compass and local people to move in the right direction.” Faye, who posts on Instagram as a mother of five boys, added, “It is a risk because we are giving up so much. I, however, even plan to quit my job after the travel. We can’t wait to spend more time with our sons without the stresses of everyday routines. We don’t know what will happen, but we do know if we didn’t do this we would always regret it.” 8. How will Faye and Matthew cover the travel costs? A. By selling their house. B. By doing part-time jobs. C. By asking parents for help. D. By borrowing from neighbors. 9. What is Faye’s attitude towards traveling around the world? A. Worried B. Excited C. Uncertain D. Firm 10. Who will decide where the family will travel? A. Faye B. Matthew C. The children D. The tour guide 11. From which is the text probably taken? A. A travel guidebook B. A life journal C. A paper D. A diary 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了Faye和Matthew Gooding夫妇生活富足美，但是她和丈夫发现这些只是物质上的完美。为了追求精神上的完美生活，他们决定卖掉家产带着孩子们环球旅行。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“This is the last Christmas that Faye and Matthew have spent in their house, which has already been sold.(这是Faye和Matthew在他们的房子里度过的最后一个圣诞节，房子已经被卖掉了。)”和“For the couple themselves, however, this “materially perfect world” was lacking in something—so now they are giving up all their possessions to travel around the world with their children.(然而，对于这对夫妇自己来说，这个“物质完美的世界”缺少了一些东西——所以现在他们放弃了所有的财产，带着孩子环游世界。他们的大部分财产都给了邻居。)”可知，他们通过卖房子来支付旅游费用。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“My wife Faye was so determined to keep to our plan(我的妻子Faye非常坚定地坚持我们的计划)”可知，Faye对环游世界的态度是坚定的。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“My older boys plot where we go next but we hope to see Europe and over two years travel as far as Japan, America, Bali and Thailand.(我的大儿子们正在计划我们接下来要去哪里，但我们希望能看到欧洲，并在未来两年里去日本、美国、巴厘岛和泰国旅行。)”可知，孩子们来决定全家去哪里旅游。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Faye, who posts on Instagram as a mother of five boys, added, “It is a risk because we are giving up so much. I, however, even plan to quit my job after the travel. We can’t wait to spend more time with our sons without the stresses of everyday routines. We don’t know what will happen, but we do know if we didn’t do this we would always regret it.”(作为五个男孩的母亲，菲在Instagram上发帖，她补充说:“这是一种风险，因为我们放弃了太多。然而，我甚至打算在旅行结束后辞职。我们迫不及待地想花更多的时间和儿子们在一起，摆脱日常生活的压力。我们不知道会发生什么，但我们知道，如果我们不这样做，我们将永远后悔。”)”可推知，文章可能出自生活日志。故选B。 D Liverpool, my hometown, is a unique city. It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage Site. I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was a museum on the River Mersey. Blanketed in mist(薄雾), Victorian architecture rose from the banks of the river, responded to the sounds of seabirds, and appeared unbelievably charming. When I headed toward the centre, I found myself surrounded by buildings that mirror the best palaces of Europe. It is not hard to imagine why, on first seeing the city, most visitors would be overpowered by the beauty of the noble buildings, which are solid signs of Liverpool’s history. As if to stress its cultural role, Liverpool has more museums and galleries than most cities in Britain. At the Walker Art Gallery, I was told that it has best collections of Victorian paintings in the world, and is the home of modern art in the north of England. However, culture is more than galleries. Liverpool offers many music events. As Britain’s No.1 music city, it has the biggest city music festival in Europe, and its musicians are famous all over the world. Liverpool is also well-known for its football and other sports events. Every year, the River Festival Liverpool attracts thousands of visitors, making the city a place of wonder. As you would expect from such a city, there are restaurants serving food from around the world. When my trip was about to end, I chose to rest my legs in Liverpool’s famous Philharmonic pub. It is a monument(纪念碑) to perfection, and a heritage attraction itself. Being a World Heritage Site, my home city is certainly a place of Outstanding Universal Value. It is a treasure house with plenty of secrets for the world to explore. 12. What can first catch visitors’ attention in Liverpool? A. Charming banks. B. Famous museums. C. Wonderful palaces. D. Attractive buildings. 13. How is the third paragraph mainly developed? A. By analyzing causes. B. By making comparisons. C. By following the order of time. D. By providing different examples. 14. Why does the author mention the Philharmonic pub in the fourth paragraph? A. To show Liverpool is a well-known city for its restaurants. B. To prove Liverpool is an impressive place full of attractions. C. To explain a pub is a wonderful place for visitors to relax themselves. D. To stress a pub is a perfect choice for visitors to end their journey. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. The universal value of Liverpool. B. The beautiful historic sites of Liverpool. C. The special cultural atmosphere of Liverpool. D. The author’s exciting experience in Liverpool. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是作者的家乡利物浦。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It is not hard to imagine why, on first seeing the city, most visitors would be overpowered by the beauty of the noble buildings.(不难想象，为什么在第一次看到这座城市时，大多数游客会被高贵建筑的美丽所震撼。)”可知，大部分游客首先都会被利物浦的建筑吸引。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“As if to stress its cultural role, Liverpool has more museums and galleries than most cities in Britain.(似乎是为了强调其文化作用，利物浦拥有比英国大多数城市更多的博物馆和画廊。)”，“Liverpool offers many music events.(利物浦提供许多音乐活动。)”以及“Liverpool is also well-known for its football and other sports events.(利物浦也以其足球和其他体育赛事而闻名。)”可知，作者列举了博物馆、音乐、运动等，所以第三段是通过提供不同的事例而展开的。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“When my trip was about to end, I chose to rest my legs in Liverpool’s famous Philharmonic pub. It is a monument(纪念碑) to perfection, and a heritage attraction itself.(当我的旅行即将结束时，我选择在利物浦著名的爱乐酒吧休息。它是一座完美的纪念碑，本身也是一个遗产景点。)”可知，连一个酒吧都是一个完美的纪念碑和遗产景点，由此可推，作者提到Philharmonic 酒吧是想告诉我们利物浦是一个充满吸引力的、令人印象深刻的地方。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Liverpool, my hometown, is a unique city. It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage Site.(我的家乡利物浦是一个独特的城市。它是如此独特，以至于在2004年成为世界遗产。)”和最后一段中的“It is a treasure house with plenty of secrets for the world to explore.(这是一个宝库，有很多秘密供世界探索。)”可知，文章讲述了利物浦建筑的美和很多名胜，并重点讲述了其独特的文化氛围。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As our human population and resource need grow, we are leaving less and less room for wildlife.

Watch me, the champion, hit the ball. It will travel off to infinity (无穷大)!” Emily ran like the wind to the ball and kicked it so hard that it flew over the fence of her garden and into the neighbor’s house. There was a sharp cracking sound. “Uh oh... what did you do?” Nora asked, feeling afraid. “L…I don’t know. Oh no! 1 think I broke my neighbor’s window,” Emily cried as she dashed across her garden and hid behind some cherry bushes. Nora faded into thin air. Terror was written all over Emily’s face. She saw the neighbor, Mr. Mason, picking up the pieces of sharp glass. There was anger, as well as panic, on his face. The sun was setting. Emily knew that it was not secure for her to stay out so late. Eventually, as the light faded, she returned home, keeping her eyes wide open for the neighbor. Her heart was shaking as she cautiously arrived home. Her mother saw the sweat on her face. She knew, her daughter had done something wrong. Mother sat next to Emily on the comfortable sofa and then asked, “Emily, are you okay? Is something wrong?” Emily held her mother’s hands. Her eyes were wet with tears. “Mom, I did something bad, but it was unintentional. I hit the football so hard that it flew out of our garden and broke Mr. Mason’s window.” Mother listened to her patiently as she calmed her and wiped her tears away. Then she held a sharp-tipped pencil. “Do you know why pencils have erasers?” Mother asked, surprising Emily since she wasn’t expecting such a question. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 “To erase our mistakes, ” Emily replied. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With her heart beating fast, Emily walked up to her neighbor’s front door. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “To erase our mistakes,” Emily replied. “That’s right!” her mother said. “So, when we make mistakes in life, we can and should fix them immediately. Then it is no longer a mistake.” Realizing what her mother wanted to say, Emily hung her head. “Mom, you are right. Although it’s quite embarrassing, saying sorry is the only way I can make up for my mistake.” Mom stroked Emily’s hair gently, her eyes sparkling with approval and encouragement. At this, a ripple of bravery surged over Emily, motivating her to get out of the house. With her heart beating fast, Emily walked up to her neighbor’s front door. She took a deep breath before gathering enough courage to knock on the door. When Mr. Mason opened the door, she dared not look into his eyes. “Mr. Mason, I’m terribly sorry that I broke your window when playing football,” she murmured. Mr. Mason smiled and let her in, saying, “Emily, I truly appreciate your honesty. Just forget about my window.” Hearing his words, Emily breathed a sigh of relief and offered to fix the broken window the next day. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了艾米莉和诺拉在院子里踢球，艾米莉用力过大，打破了邻居的玻璃，为了躲避邻居，艾米莉天黑才回家，把事情的原委告诉妈妈，妈妈问她铅笔为什么有橡皮擦。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“艾米莉回答说：“为了擦掉我们的错误。””可知，第一段可描写艾米莉认识到了自己的错误，下定决心要去道歉。 ②由第二段首句内容“心怦怦直跳，艾米莉走向邻居家大门。”可知，第二段可描写艾米莉去给邻居梅森先生道歉，梅森先生原谅了她。 2.续写线索：踢足球——打破玻璃——不敢回家——告诉妈妈原委——认识到错误——去道歉——得到原谅 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①修理：fix/repair ②垂下：hang/lower ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①松了一口气：breathed a sigh of relief/feel relieved ②令人尴尬的：embarrassing/awkward 【点睛】【高分句式1】Mom stroked Emily’s hair gently, her eyes sparkling with approval and encouragement.

With 300 acres of protected open space overlooking beautiful fields and the waterfront beyond, the Norman Bird Sanctuary offers all kinds of choices for your next event. Mabel’s Studio Located among the historic farm buildings in the Norman Bird Sanctuary, Mabel’s Studio offers a comfortable space for gatherings of up to 40 people. With its vaulted (拱形的) ceiling, wide floors and beautiful views overlooking stone walls, fields and ocean, this unique environment is ideal for a book signing, a lecture or a small social gathering. Happiness Farmhouse The Happiness Farmhouse is the perfect place to bring people together in a unique and private environment. Ideal for family vacations and wedding parties, this house is situated on a broad lawn (草坪) bordered by historic stone walls, with a fantastic view of fields and ocean. From short rests as a family to hosting a wedding of up to 125 people, our Happiness Farmhouse was designed to make new memories. The Barn Vaulted wooden ceilings create an attractive space for dancing, lectures, small receptions and educational events for up to 90 people. Accessible (可进入的) on both sides of the building, the Barn also has a small lawn providing additional space for a small tent or outdoor seating. Mabel’s Garden Mabel’s Garden is a gathering place for up to 80 people and serves as the best place for photographs. A formal garden with a stone birdbath is bordered by small trees, native plants and a path. Historic stone walls surround the garden, which is accessed by a small wooden gate and is located across from the Happiness Farmhouse. 1. Which place is suitable for a gathering of 110 people? A. Mabel’s Studio. B. Happiness Farmhouse. C. Mabel’s Garden. D. The Barn. 2. How can you get into Mabel’s Garden? A. By walking across a large lawn. B. By walking through a small wooden gate. C. By walking through both sides of the Barn. D. By walking through a historic farm building. 3. What is the purpose of the text? A. To recommend places for events. B. To encourage people to protect birds. C. To introduce famous travelling buildings. D. To tell the history of Norman Bird Sanctuary. B Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives. For example, the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite. Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of Earth to show how clouds are moving. Satellites are also used to connect our phone calls. Computer connections of the World Wide Web and the Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV programs come to us by satellite. Airplane pilots sometimes also use a satellite to help them find their exact location. We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another. They are usually 35,880 kilometers above the equator (赤道). Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place. This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers an hour — exactly the same speed that the Earth rotates (转动). A satellite must move around the Earth with its antennae (天线) facing the Earth. Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit (轨道), so there are some rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position. This usually happens about every five or six days. Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit Earth. A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired. Often, very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit Earth for a very long time. This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other. 4. Which of the following is NOT done by satellite according to the passage? A. Sending information for weather forecasts. B. Taking photographs of the Earth. C. Sending TV pictures to the Earth. D. Providing food for airplane pilots. 5. What’s the speed that the Earth rotates at? A. 35,880 kilometers per hour. B. 335,880 kilometers per hour. C. 11,000 kilometers per hour. D. 110,000 kilometers per hour. 6. What does the underlined word “This” in the third paragraph refer to? A. A satellite moves around the Earth forever. B. A rocket always keeps a satellite’s company. C. A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky. D. The satellite puts the rockets in the right position. 7. Which of the following statements about satellites is TRUE? A. A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years. B. Every time a satellite gets broken, it is thrown away. C. A broken satellite is never left in space. D. Broken satellites always crash into each other. C This is the last Christmas that Faye and Matthew have spent in their house, which has already been sold. Faye and Matthew Gooding and their five young sons appear to have perfect lives. For the couple themselves, however, this “materially perfect world” was lacking in something—so now they are giving up all their possessions to travel around the world with their children. Most of their belongings have been given to their neighbors. Faye said, “It is a relief to get rid of so many possessions. Thankfully, our parents understand and support us.” “I hesitated for a while because some friends think Faye and I are mad to give up so much. When we told the older boys they were so excited that they were going to have so much time as a family. It made me realize the amount of toys or material possessions can’t replace time spent with our children. They’ve had to give away so many toys, bikes and books. My wife Faye was so determined to keep to our plan,” said Matthew. They will leave this month and plan to start their travels in Sweden where they have friends. Faye said “My older boys plot where we go next but we hope to see Europe and over two years travel as far as Japan, America, Bali and Thailand. We don’t plan to hire any tour guides. We just depend on a compass and local people to move in the right direction.” Faye, who posts on Instagram as a mother of five boys, added, “It is a risk because we are giving up so much. I, however, even plan to quit my job after the travel. We can’t wait to spend more time with our sons without the stresses of everyday routines. We don’t know what will happen, but we do know if we didn’t do this we would always regret it.” 8. How will Faye and Matthew cover the travel costs? A. By selling their house. B. By doing part-time jobs. C. By asking parents for help. D. By borrowing from neighbors. 9. What is Faye’s attitude towards traveling around the world? A. Worried B. Excited C. Uncertain D. Firm 10. Who will decide where the family will travel? A. Faye B. Matthew C. The children D. The tour guide 11. From which is the text probably taken? A. A travel guidebook B. A life journal C. A paper D. A diary D Liverpool, my hometown, is a unique city. It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage Site. I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was a museum on the River Mersey. Blanketed in mist(薄雾), Victorian architecture rose from the banks of the river, responded to the sounds of seabirds, and appeared unbelievably charming. When I headed toward the centre, I found myself surrounded by buildings that mirror the best palaces of Europe. It is not hard to imagine why, on first seeing the city, most visitors would be overpowered by the beauty of the noble buildings, which are solid signs of Liverpool’s history. As if to stress its cultural role, Liverpool has more museums and galleries than most cities in Britain. At the Walker Art Gallery, I was told that it has best collections of Victorian paintings in the world, and is the home of modern art in the north of England. However, culture is more than galleries. Liverpool offers many music events. As Britain’s No.1 music city, it has the biggest city music festival in Europe, and its musicians are famous all over the world. Liverpool is also well-known for its football and other sports events. Every year, the River Festival Liverpool attracts thousands of visitors, making the city a place of wonder. As you would expect from such a city there are restaurants serving food from around the world. When my trip was about to end, I chose to rest my legs in Liverpool’s famous Philharmonic pub. It is a monument(纪念碑) to perfection, and a heritage attraction itself. Being a World Heritage Site, my home city is certainly a place of Outstanding Universal Value. It is a treasure house with plenty of secrets for the world to explore. 12. What can first catch visitors’ attention in Liverpool? A. Charming banks. B. Famous museums. C. Wonderful palaces. D. Attractive buildings. 13. How is the third paragraph mainly developed? A. By analyzing causes. B. By making comparisons. C. By following the order of time. D. By providing different examples. 14. Why does the author mention the Philharmonic pub in the fourth paragraph? A. To show Liverpool is a well-known city for its restaurants. B. To prove Liverpool is an impressive place full of attractions. C. To explain a pub is a wonderful place for visitors to relax themselves. D. To stress a pub is a perfect choice for visitors to end their journey. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. The universal value of Liverpool. B. The beautiful historic sites of Liverpool. C. The special cultural atmosphere of Liverpool. D. The author’s exciting experience in Liverpool. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As our human population and resource need grow, we are leaving less and less room for wildlife.
