Puffins are adorable birds with big, colorful beaks (喙) that live in grassy cliffs in the Far North. One summer day, my husband and I boarded the boat to Flatey Island, eager to catch a glimpse of these charming creatures.
As soon as the boat left the harbor, the rain started pouring. The wind picked up, and the boat began to jump. I was beginning to feel seasick.
By the time we reached the island, my fingers were blue. The boat wouldn’t go back for four hours. We huddled under the shelter of a warehouse, wondering what to do. Then a woman wearing mittens (手套) came close to us. “You look cold,” she said. “Would you like to come to our house for lunch?”
It was a small yellow house at the edge of the village. It was full of people, young and old. They made room for us at the table. We ate and drank a lot, and they told us all about the puffins and the other birds on the island.
It was almost time for the boat to leave, our new friend Sigrid walked in the rain with us to the puffins’ cliffs. We sat still on the wet rocks, watching the birds fly right toward us, cocking their heads as if wondering what we were doing on their island. They made us laugh.
When the boat whistle blew, Sigrid took my hand to say good-bye. “Your hands are so cold!” Slipping her mittens off, she handed them to me. “You need to have mittens for the boat ride,” she said.
It’s been seventeen years, and I still have Sigrid’s mittens. They’re not fancy and bright like the puffin’s beak. But as much as I liked those funny little birds, it’s the mittens I think of when I remembered the island. I’ve spent years trying to be as kind to someone else as Sigrid was to me that day.
22. What was unexpected for the couple at first?
A. Remote living place of the puffins. B. The peaceful boat ride.
C. Delay in getting on board. D. The cold rainy weather.

A. Disappointing. B. Struggling. C. Exciting. D. Heart-warming.
25. What is the best title for the text?
A. Puffins and Mittens B. A Close Puffin Watching
C. A Magical Trip to Flatey Island D. Surviving a Day with Sigrid
Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami, adding weight to the idea that they have a “sixth sense” of disasters, experts said on Thursday.
Sri Lanka wildlife officials have said the waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island’s coast seemingly missed wildlife, with no dead animals found.
“No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare (野兔) or rabbit. I think animals can sense the disaster. They have a ‘sixth sense’. They know when things are happening, H.D. Ratnayake, director of Sri Lanka’s Wildlife Department, said on Wednesday.
The waves washed floodwaters up to 3 km inland at Yala National Park in the southeast, Sri Lanka’s biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants. “There has been a lot of evidence of dogs barking or birds migrating (迁徙) before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. But it has not been proved,” said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behaviour specialist at Johannesburg Zoo. “There have been no specific studies because you can’t really test it in a lab or a field setting,” he said. Other authorities agreed with this opinion.
“Wildlife seems to be able to pick up certain signs, especially birds. There are many reports of birds detecting coming disasters,” said Clive Walker, who has written several books on African wildlife.
Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators (掠食动物). The idea of an animal “sixth sense” is a lasting one that the evidence of Sri Lanka’s damaged coast is likely to add to.
26. What happened after the Indian Ocean tsunami?
A. Many people died but wild animals survived.
B. The “six sense” of wild animals developed.
C. Wild animals were killed or went missing.
D. The coast was found in good condition.
27. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “detecting” in Paragraph5?
A. Taking up. B. Putting up. C. Picking up. D. Bringing up.
28. What is the text mainly about?
A. It seems that animals can save themselves from natural disasters.
B. The different opinions about animals’ natural power.
C. How to protect wildlife when disasters happen.
D. The serious damage of the Indian Ocean tsunami.
29. In which section of a newspaper can we read this text?
A. Travel. B. Custom. C. Culture. D. Discovery.
Every two weeks, the time period after which many people collect a paycheck, a language dies.
So concerning is the potential for language loss that the National Science Foundation this year launched the Documenting Endangered Languages program to advance knowledge related to endangered human languages. The launch of the program is even more urgent given the fact that about half of all current languages being used in the world have been classified at varying degrees of endangerment.
At the University of Arizona, which is an important site for language preservation, a number of researchers are involved in activities meant to document endangered and lost languages. Others are working to help preserve languages classified as "moribund", meaning that no children are learning their native languages as their first languages in their own homes.
A number of UA programs—some of them decades old—are dedicated to language preservation. Most recently, Christian Ruvalcaba, a graduate student, launched "The Language Capital Project "and is creating maps for corresponding website to help non-national language speakers to find and connect with one another.
"Languages allow people to create an identity for themselves and as community members" said Elizabeth Kickham, a visiting professor in the UA Department of Linguistics. "Language is so closely tied to culture: it not only reflects cultural practices, it is also influenced by them. Language and culture influence each other, so it’s difficult to separate them. You can, but you lose something when you do."
"One of the advantages of studying at the University of Arizona is the wealth of linguistic diversity to be found among the student population,” said Kickham, who involved her students in language preservation training this semester.
"Exposure to diverse populations, including languages, enables a richer understanding of the human experience," Kickham said. " Languages are beautiful. When people hear someone speaking a language they needn’t feel that the person doesn’t know how to speak English but rather that person has a wealth of resources."
30. Why did the National Science Foundation launch the program?
A. To bring back lost languages.
B. To develop endangered languages.
C To increase understanding of endangered languages.
D. To investigate the number of endangered languages.
31. What do the maps created by Ruvalcaba inform people about?
A. Where there is a website for lost languages
B. Where non-national language speakers live.
C. Where they can learn the national language.
D. Where they can communicate in their native language.
32. What did Kickham want to point out in what she said?
A. The influence of cultural practices. B. The importance of diverse languages.
C. A need for language preservation training D. A better understanding of different cultures.
33. What is the best title for the text ?
A. Language Loss Calls for Preservation B. Language Reflects Human Self-identity
C. Preserving Non-national Language D. Identifying the Causes of Language Loss

六、书面表达
65. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
College admission season is upon us. With the ever-increasing competition among college applicants, writing an effective and sincere college recommendation letter is one way high school teachers can help students stand out among the competition. Here are a few things I have learned how to write a recommendation for my students.
Try beginning your letter with something the person tasked with screening hundreds of recommendation letters will remember. I like to start with an amusing story that illustrates who the student is and how others perceive them. Make sure to use the student’s full name for the first reference and then just the first name after that. My favorite strategy is to end the paragraph with a single sentence that highlights the student’s strongest characteristics.
In the body of the letter, focus on who the student is rather than what the student has done. What college reps want to know is how the student will fit into their environment. Give specific examples of how the student achieved--did they overcome obstacles or tackle any challenges to reach their goals? I usually write two short paragraphs for the body. Sometimes the first relates character to academics, and the next relates character to extracurricular activities. Other times, I use the student’s characteristics as the main focal points.
Conclude with a sincere statement of recommendation for the student to the college of their choice. When sending the recommendation to a single college, use the college’s name in your recommendation. Lastly, I return to using the student’s full name in my final reference to him in the letter.
My last statement encourages the college to contact me with any further questions. I’ll be surely delighted to receive any of their inquiry, meaning my student is under their consideration!

Puffins are adorable birds with big, colorful beaks (喙) that live in grassy cliffs in the Far North. One summer day, my husband and I boarded the boat to Flatey Island, eager to catch a glimpse of these charming creatures.
As soon as the boat left the harbor, the rain started pouring. The wind picked up, and the boat began to jump. I was beginning to feel seasick.
By the time we reached the island, my fingers were blue. The boat wouldn’t go back for four hours. We huddled under the shelter of a warehouse, wondering what to do. Then a woman wearing mittens (手套) came close to us. “You look cold,” she said. “Would you like to come to our house for lunch?”
It was a small yellow house at the edge of the village. It was full of people, young and old. They made room for us at the table. We ate and drank a lot, and they told us all about the puffins and the other birds on the island.
It was almost time for the boat to leave, our new friend Sigrid walked in the rain with us to the puffins’ cliffs. We sat still on the wet rocks, watching the birds fly right toward us, cocking their heads as if wondering what we were doing on their island. They made us laugh.
When the boat whistle blew, Sigrid took my hand to say good-bye. “Your hands are so cold!” Slipping her mittens off, she handed them to me. “You need to have mittens for the boat ride,” she said.
It’s been seventeen years, and I still have Sigrid’s mittens. They’re not fancy and bright like the puffin’s beak. But as much as I liked those funny little birds, it’s the mittens I think of when I remembered the island. I’ve spent years trying to be as kind to someone else as Sigrid was to me that day.
22. What was unexpected for the couple at first?
A. Remote living place of the puffins. B. The peaceful boat ride.
C. Delay in getting on board. D. The cold rainy weather.
23. What does the underlined word “huddled” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Walked. B. Crowded. C. Chatted. D. Relaxed.
24. Which word can best describe the couple’s trip on Flatey Island?
A. Disappointing. B. Struggling. C. Exciting. D. Heart-warming.
25. What is the best title for the text?
A. Puffins and Mittens B. A Close Puffin Watching
C. A Magical Trip to Flatey Island D. Surviving a Day with Sigrid
【答案】22. D 23. B 24. D 25. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和丈夫在一个夏日里前往Flatey岛观赏海鹦(一种可爱的鸟类)的经历。在遭遇恶劣天气和身体不适的情况下,他们遇到了一位善良的女子Sigrid对其进行帮助。这些经历让作者深深感受到了人与人之间的温暖和善意。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“As soon as the boat left the harbor, the rain started pouring. The wind picked up, and the boat began to jump. I was beginning to feel seasick.(船一离开港口,就下起了倾盆大雨。风起了,船开始颠簸。我开始觉得晕船了。)”可知,当船离开港口时,突然下起了大雨,风也大了起来,船开始颠簸,作者开始感到晕船。这表明最初这对夫妇没有预料到会遇到如此寒冷的雨天。故选D。
【23题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段中划线词前面的句子“By the time we reached the island, my fingers were blue. The boat wouldn’t go back for four hours.(当我们到达小岛时,我的手指都发青了。这艘船要四个小时才能返航。)”以及后文“Then a woman wearing mittens(手套) came close to us. “You look cold,” she said. (然后一个戴着手套的女人走近我们。“你看起来很冷,”她说。)”可知,当作者和丈夫到达岛屿时,手指都冻青了,船还需要四个小时后才会返回。因此,他们在仓库的庇护下挤成一团(缩在一起抵御寒冷),想知道接下来该做什么。故划线词与B选项“Crowded.(拥挤的)”为同义词。故选B。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“When the boat whistle blew, Sigrid took my hand to say good-bye. “Your hands are so cold!” Slipping her mittens off, she handed them to me. “You need to have mittens for the boat ride,” she said.( 船鸣笛时,Sigrid拉着我的手说再见。“你的手好冷啊!”她脱下手套,递给我。“乘船时你需要戴上连指手套,”她说。)”以及最后一段中“It’s been seventeen years, and I still have Sigrid’s mittens. They’re not fancy and bright like the puffin’s beak. But as much as I liked those funny little birds, it’s the mittens I think of when I remembered the island. I’ve spent years trying to be as kind to someone else as Sigrid was to me that day.( 十七年过去了,我还留着Sigrid的连指手套。它们不像海雀的嘴那样华丽明亮。尽管我很喜欢那些有趣的小鸟,但当我想起那个岛时,我想到的却是那副连指手套。多年来,我一直努力像西格丽德那天对我那样善待别人。)”可知,尽管这对夫妇最初遇到了不利的天气条件和困难,但他们遇到了善良的Sigrid,她的热情和善良给他们的旅程带来了温暖。特别是她把手套送给作者以抵御船上的寒冷,这一行为让作者印象深刻,并让她在之后的岁月里努力向别人展现同样的善良。因此,这次旅行可以被描述为“暖心的”。故选D。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章主要讲述了作者和丈夫在前往Flatey岛观看海鹦的过程中遇到了一位善良的女子Sigrid,并讲述了她把手套送给作者以抵御船上的寒冷的温暖故事,这一温暖的行为让作者印象深刻,并让她在之后的岁月里努力向别人展现同样的善良。因此,选项A“Puffins and Mittens(海鹦和手套)”既包含了文章的主题元素——海鹦,也反映了文章的核心情感——手套所代表的善良和温暖,因此是最佳标题。故选A。
Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami, adding weight to the idea that they have a “sixth sense” of disasters, experts said on Thursday.
Sri Lanka wildlife officials have said the waves that killed over 24000 people along the Indian Ocean island’s coast seemingly missed wildlife, with no dead animals found.
“No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare (野兔) or rabbit. I think animals can sense the disaster. They have a ‘sixth sense’. They know when things are happening, H.D. Ratnayake, director of Sri Lanka’s Wildlife Department, said on Wednesday.
The waves washed floodwaters up to 3 km inland at Yala National Park in the southeast, Sri Lanka’s biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants. “There has been a lot of evidence of dogs barking or birds migrating (迁徙) before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. But it has not been proved,” said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behaviour specialist at Johannesburg Zoo. “There have been no specific studies because you can’t really test it in a lab or a field setting,” he said. Other authorities agreed with this opinion.
“Wildlife seems to be able to pick up certain signs, especially birds. There are many reports of birds detecting coming disasters,” said Clive Walker, who has written several books on African wildlife.
Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators (掠食动物). The idea of an animal “sixth sense” is a lasting one that the evidence of Sri Lanka’s damaged coast is likely to add to.
26. What happened after the Indian Ocean tsunami?
A. Many people died but wild animals survived.
B. The “six sense” of wild animals developed.
C. Wild animals were killed or went missing.
D. The coast was found in good condition.
27. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “detecting” in Paragraph5?
A. Taking up. B. Putting up. C. Picking up. D. Bringing up.
28. What is the text mainly about?
A. It seems that animals can save themselves from natural disasters.
B. The different opinions about animals’ natural power.
C. How to protect wildlife when disasters happen.
D. The serious damage of the Indian Ocean tsunami.
29. In which section of a newspaper can we read this text?
A. Travel. B. Custom. C. Culture. D. Discovery.
【答案】26. A 27. C 28. A 29. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了动物似乎有一种第六感可以提前感知自然灾害从而使自己免受伤害。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Sri Lanka wildlife officials have said the waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island’s coast seemingly missed wildlife, with no dead animals found.(斯里兰卡野生动物官员表示,印度洋岛屿沿岸造成2.4万多人死亡的海浪似乎与野生动物擦肩而过,没有发现死亡的动物)”可知,此次海啸中有很多人丧生,然而野生动物却幸免于难。故选A。
【27题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“Wildlife seems to be able to pick up certain signs, especially birds.(野生动物似乎能够捕捉到某些信号,尤其是鸟类)”可知,鸟类尤其能捕捉到某些信号,所以有很多关于鸟类注意到即将发生的灾难的报道。由此推知,此处detecting的意思与本句的pick up“发现”意思相近。故选C。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami, adding weight to the idea that they have a “sixth sense” of disasters, experts said on Thursday.(专家于周四表示,野生动物似乎逃过了印度洋海啸,这进一步证实了它们对灾难有“第六感”的观点)”以及最后一段“Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators (掠食动物). The idea of an animal “sixth sense” is a lasting one that the evidence of Sri Lanka’s damaged coast is likely to add to.(动物当然依靠已知的感官,如嗅觉或听觉来躲避危险,如食肉动物。动物有“第六感”的观点是持久的,斯里兰卡海岸受损的证据可能会进一步证明这一点)”可知,全文都在围绕“动物逃脱了海啸,它们似乎有第六感,可以提前感知灾害”展开,所以文章主要介绍了动物似乎可以从自然灾害中拯救自己。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami, adding weight to the idea that they have a “sixth sense” of disasters, experts said on Thursday.(专家于周四表示,野生动物似乎逃过了印度洋海啸,这进一步证实了它们对灾难有“第六感”的观点)”可知,文章主要介绍了印度洋海啸造成上万人丧生,而动物却能幸免,人们认为这得益于动物的“第六感”,这属于科学发现。由此推知,本文可能出现在报纸的“发现”版面上。故选D。
Every two weeks, the time period after which many people collect a paycheck, a language dies.
So concerning is the potential for language loss that the National Science Foundation this year launched the Documenting Endangered Languages program to advance knowledge related to endangered human languages. The launch of the program is even more urgent given the fact that about half of all current languages being used in the world have been classified at varying degrees of endangerment.
At the University of Arizona, which is an important site for language preservation, a number of researchers are involved in activities meant to document endangered and lost languages. Others are working to help preserve languages classified as "moribund", meaning that no children are learning their native languages as their first languages in their own homes.
A number of UA programs—some of them decades old—are dedicated to language preservation. Most recently, Christian Ruvalcaba, a graduate student, launched "The Language Capital Project "and is creating maps for corresponding website to help non-national language speakers to find and connect with one another.
"Languages allow people to create an identity for themselves and as community members", said Elizabeth Kickham, a visiting professor in the UA Department of Linguistics. "Language is so closely tied to culture: it not only reflects cultural practices, it is also influenced by them. Language and culture influence each other, so it’s difficult to separate them. You can, but you lose something when you do."
"One of the advantages of studying at the University of Arizona is the wealth of linguistic diversity to be found among the student population,” said Kickham, who involved her students in language preservation training this semester.
"Exposure to diverse populations, including languages, enables a richer understanding of the human experience," Kickham said. " Languages are beautiful. When people hear someone speaking a language they needn’t feel that the person doesn’t know how to speak English but rather that person has a wealth of resources."
30 Why did the National Science Foundation launch the program?
A. To bring back lost languages.
B. To develop endangered languages.
C. To increase understanding of endangered languages.
D. To investigate the number of endangered languages.
31. What do the maps created by Ruvalcaba inform people about?
A. Where there is a website for lost languages
B Where non-national language speakers live.
C. Where they can learn the national language.
D. Where they can communicate in their native language.
32. What did Kickham want to point out in what she said?
A. The influence of cultural practices. B. The importance of diverse languages.
C. A need for language preservation training D. A better understanding of different cultures.
33. What is the best title for the text ?
A. Language Loss Calls for Preservation B. Language Reflects Human Self-identity
C. Preserving Non-national Language D. Identifying the Causes of Language Loss
【答案】30. C 31. D 32. B 33. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如今语言消亡非常迅速,介绍了为保护语言各个组织和个人所作出的努力,强调了保持语言多样性的重要性。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“So concerning is the potential for language loss that the National Science Foundation this year launched the Documenting Endangered Languages program to advance knowledge related to endangered human languages.(由于存在潜在的语言丢失问题,美国国家科学基金会今年启动了‘濒危语言记录计划’,以提高与濒危人类语言相关的知识)”可知,美国国家科学基金会启动这个项目,是为了增加对濒危语言的理解。故选C。

【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Exposure to diverse populations, including languages, enables a richer understanding of the human experience (接触不同的人群,包括语言,可以使人们对人类经验有更丰富的理解)”可推知,Kickham在她的话中指出了多样化语言的重要性。故选B。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Every two weeks, the time period after which many people collect a paycheck, a language dies.(每隔两周,也就是很多人领取工资的时间段,就有一种语言消亡了)”结合文章主要说明了如今语言消亡非常迅速,介绍了为保护语言各个组织和个人所作出的努力,强调了保持语言多样性的重要性。可知,A选项“语言的消亡需要人们的保护”最符合文章标题。故选A。

(改变你的环境)”“Create a detailed timeline with specific deadlines. (创建一个详细的时间表和具体的截止日期)”可知,拖延是阻止我们取得更大的成功的很不好的习惯,结合下文介绍的一些办法,显然作者在分享一些克服拖延症的个人成功之道,承接上下文,G选项“在这里,我将与大家分享一些克服拖延症的个人步骤。”切题。故选G项。

六、书面表达
65. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
College admission season is upon us. With the ever-increasing competition among college applicants, writing an effective and sincere college recommendation letter is one way high school teachers can help students stand out among the competition. Here are a few things I have learned how to write a recommendation for my students.
Try beginning your letter with something the person tasked with screening hundreds of recommendation letters will remember. I like to start with an amusing story that illustrates who the student is and how others perceive them. Make sure to use the student’s full name for the first reference and then just the first name after that. My favorite strategy is to end the paragraph with a single sentence that highlights the student’s strongest characteristics.
In the body of the letter, focus on who the student is rather than what the student has done. What college reps want to know is how the student will fit into their environment. Give specific examples of how the student achieved--did they overcome obstacles or tackle any challenges to reach their goals? I usually write two short paragraphs for the body. Sometimes the first relates character to academics, and the next relates character to extracurricular activities. Other times, I use the student’s characteristics as the main focal points.
Conclude with a sincere statement of recommendation for the student to the college of their choice. When sending the recommendation to a single college, use the college’s name in your recommendation. Lastly, I return to using the student’s full name in my final reference to him in the letter.
My last statement encourages the college to contact me with any further questions. I’ll be surely delighted to receive any of their inquiry, meaning my student is under their consideration!
【答案】High school teachers should know how to write college recommendations for students. First, a unique beginning such as a story can attract profession’s eye. Second, using examples to demonstrate how the student achieved his aims for the body part is essential. Finally, a conclusion includes both college’s name and student’s full name, necessary for encouraging the college to ask questions.
