His grandfather and father were doctors and the young Darwin went to Edinburgh University to study medicine. However, he hated to see blood and he soon realized that he couldn’t be a doctor. He then went to Cambridge University and discovered that he had a great interest in studying plants, insects and animals. Luckily, one of Darwin’s university teachers helped him join in the perfect trip for a biologist (生物学家): a voyage around the world to study nature. In 1831, Charles Darwin left Plymouth on The Beagle, a ship that took him around the world for five years. While he was travelling, he studied the plants and animals in the countries and on the islands that the ship visited. Darwin also spent his time on The Beagle writing notes about the things he had seen. When he finally arrived back in Britain, Darwin was already starting to create his famous theory that all living things had a common ancestor (祖先). At home at Down House, a place that you can still visit today, Darwin wrote many articles and books about his travels. But he didn’t want to make anything about his theory known to the public because he was afraid the public would not agree with his idea. He was so worried that he became ill. However, when someone else started to write about similar ideas, Darwin decided to print his book, On the Origin of Species. Most scientists accepted Darwin’s theory and people continue to study it today. On 12th February, the day when he was born, Darwin Day is celebrated around the world to encourage more people to study the natural world. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 61.

When he finally arrived back in Britain, Darwin was already starting to create his famous theory that all living things had a common ancestor (祖先).”可知此处介绍达尔文在旅途中研究生物，从而得出所有生物都有一个共同的祖先，因此这个旅途很重要的原因是给了他关于生物起源的想法。故选C。 【64题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He then went to Cambridge University and discovered that he had a great interest in studying plants, insects and animals…he studied the plants and animals in the countries and on the islands that the ship visited…When he finally arrived back in Britain…But he didn’t want to make anything about his theory known to the public because he was afraid the public would not agree with his idea…However, when someone else started to write about similar ideas, Darwin decided to print his book, On the Origin of Species.”可知正确顺序是他去了剑桥大学，发现他对研究植物、昆虫和动物很感兴趣；他研究了船能到的国家和岛屿上的动植物；他最终回到英国；他不想让公众知道他的理论，因为他害怕公众不同意他的想法；当其他人开始写类似的观点时，达尔文决定出版他的书《物种起源》；即c→e→a→b→d，故选B。 【65题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Most scientists accepted Darwin’s theory and people continue to study it today. On 12th February, the day when he was born, Darwin Day is celebrated around the world to encourage more people to study the natural world.”可知作者在最后一段描述了达尔文在自然科学中的重要性。故选D。 (C) Experts believe that there are more than 8 million restaurants in the world today. So it might surprise you to learn that restaurants, as we know them, have only existed (存在) for a few centuries. Before 1765, there were no restaurants. That is, there were no places that provided the restaurant experience. There was nowhere in which a waiter brought you food and drink that you picked from a menu. In fact, there were no menus anywhere. There were eating places where travellers could go centuries before that. The countryside was full of inns (旅店) that would serve food. And there were taverns (酒馆) where one could get drinks. The rich could also eat special meals prepared by personal cooks. But none of them could be called a “restaurant”. A man called Boulanger changed that. In 1765, he opened a place in Paris that sold soups. On his sign he used the word “restaurant” to describe what he was selling. At that time, soups were considered something that could help “restore” (恢复) your health—in French the word “restore” is “restaurer”—so he called the soups “restaurants”. Soon, people started buying Boulanger’s soups even when they were not ill. And over time, people began to use the word “restaurant” to express a place selling soup instead of the soup itself. More “restaurants” opened in France, and people began to buy soups more often. Later, restaurants in Paris began to serve other food besides soup. In the 1790s, menus started to appear. By the mid-1800s, there were many kinds of restaurants all over the world. The United States offered coffee shops. Tea houses became popular around China. Paris created beautiful restaurants for the rich. The British began to copy the French, and the restaurant idea spread all over Britain. Today cities are filled with restaurants with millions of choices for diners. 根据短文内容，判断句子正（T）、误（F）。 66. There were some restaurants in the world in 1755. 67. Centuries ago, the rich could eat special meals prepared by personal cooks. 68. Boulanger opened a place in Paris which sold soups in 1765. 69. Only sick people buy Boulanger’s soups because soups were considered something that could help “restore” health. 70. By the mid-1800s there were many kinds of restaurants around the world. 【答案】66. F 67. T 68. T 69. F 70. T 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了餐馆是如何 “从无到有，再到种类繁多”的发展过程。 【66题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Before 1765, there were no restaurants.”可知，1765年以前，这里没有餐馆，所以题干表达错误，故填F。 【67题详解】 细节理解题。根据“There were eating places where travellers could go centuries before that. The countryside was full of inns (旅店) that would serve food. And there were taverns (酒馆) where one could get drinks. The rich could also eat special meals prepared by personal cooks.”可知，几个世纪以前，富人可以吃到私人厨师做的特殊食物，故填T。 【68题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A man called Boulanger changed that. In 1765, he opened a place in Paris that sold soups.”可知，1765年，Boulanger 在巴黎开了一家卖汤的店，故填T。 【69题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Soon, people started buying Boulangerd’s soups even when they were not ill.”可知，人们甚至在没有生病的时候也开始购买Boulangerd的汤，所以题干表述错误，故填F。 【70题详解】 细节理解题。根据“By the mid-1800s, there were many kinds of restaurants all over the world.”可知，到19世纪中期，世界各地的餐馆种类繁多,故填T。 (D) The human population on Earth grows larger each year.

Today, working out through online videos is becoming very popular. Since the Internet is widely used, it’s very easy for us to do so. That means we can work out anytime anywhere. One of my friends Lin Fei followed short workout videos to do daily exercise. “With live programs, I feel like working out with my friends, which encourages me to hold on to the last minute,” she said. Another friend of mine, Michael, told me that workout videos let him feel so comfortable. “I don’t like working out at the gym because I hate being watched by others. Working out at home is much more enjoyable.” he said. With their examples, I decided to give it a try. When I told my plan to my elder sister Susan, a P.E. teacher, she reminded me that workout videos could be helpful but might still carry some problems. “Without being with someone, you will be less willing (愿意的) to work out to your best.” my sister said to me. “Well, if you really want to have a try, first, choose proper programs or videos. That’s very important. And then ask your friends for advice. Their experiences can help you a lot.” At her suggestions, I finally followed an online workout program. After the first period of training, I felt it very practical and helpful. Compared with going to the gym, using online videos to work out is a much cheaper and time-saving choice. But it can be difficult sometimes when I’m too lazy or too busy. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 76. Which way to work out is becoming very popular today? ___________________________________________________________ 77. Why doesn’t Michael like working out at the gym? ___________________________________________________________ 78. Who was the P.E. teacher? ___________________________________________________________ 79.

How did the writer feel about his first period of training? ___________________________________________________________ 【答案】76. Working out through online videos. 77. Because he hates being watched by others. 78. Susan./The writer’s sister. 79. You will be less willing to work out to your best./ People will be less willing to work out to their best. 80. Practical and helpful. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者在朋友的鼓励下跟着视频进行锻炼，这是方便又节省时间的选择。 【76题详解】 根据“Today, working out through online videos is becoming very popular.”可知，如今，通过在线视频健身变得非常流行。故填Working out through online videos. 【77题详解】 根据“I don’t like working out at the gym because I hate being watched by others.”可知，Michael不喜欢在健身房锻炼，是因为不喜欢被别人注视。故填Because he hates being watched by others. 【78题详解】 根据“When I told my plan to my elder sister Susan, a P.E. teacher, she reminded me that workout videos could be helpful but might still carry some problems.”可知，作者的姐姐Susan是一位体育老师。故填Susan./The writer’s sister. 【79题详解】 根据“Without being with someone, you will be less willing (愿意的) to work out to your best.”可知，如果没有和某人在一起，你就不太愿意努力做到最好。故填You will be less willing to work out to your best./ People will be less willing to work out to their best. 【80题详解】 根据“After the first period of training, I felt it very practical and helpful.”可知，在第一阶段的训练后，作者觉得训练既实际又有用。故填Practical and helpful. 四、语言运用（共10分） VII.短文填空。（10分） On warm winter days, Yang Liheng, eighty-nine, enjoys sitting by the window and looking through old photos.

His grandfather and father were doctors and the young Darwin went to Edinburgh University to study medicine. However, he hated to see blood and he soon realized that he couldn’t be a doctor. He then went to Cambridge University and discovered that he had a great interest in studying plants, insects and animals. Luckily, one of Darwin’s university teachers helped him join in the perfect trip for a biologist (生物学家): a voyage around the world to study nature. In 1831, Charles Darwin left Plymouth on The Beagle, a ship that took him around the world for five years. While he was travelling, he studied the plants and animals in the countries and on the islands that the ship visited. Darwin also spent his time on The Beagle writing notes about the things he had seen. When he finally arrived back in Britain, Darwin was already starting to create his famous theory that all living things had a common ancestor (祖先). At home at Down House, a place that you can still visit today, Darwin wrote many articles and books about his travels.

So it might surprise you to learn that restaurants, as we know them, have only existed (存在) for a few centuries. Before 1765, there were no restaurants. That is, there were no places that provided the restaurant experience. There was nowhere in which a waiter brought you food and drink that you picked from a menu. In fact, there were no menus anywhere. There were eating places where travellers could go centuries before that. The countryside was full of inns (旅店) that would serve food. And there were taverns (酒馆) where one could get drinks. The rich could also eat special meals prepared by personal cooks. But none of them could be called a “restaurant”. A man called Boulanger changed that. In 1765, he opened a place in Paris that sold soups. On his sign he used the word “restaurant” to describe what he was selling. At that time, soups were considered something that could help “restore” (恢复) your health—in French the word “restore” is “restaurer”—so he called the soups “restaurants”. Soon, people started buying Boulanger’s soups even when they were not ill. And over time, people began to use the word “restaurant” to express a place selling soup instead of the soup itself. More “restaurants” opened in France, and people began to buy soups more often. Later, restaurants in Paris began to serve other food besides soup. In the 1790s, menus started to appear. By the mid-1800s, there were many kinds of restaurants all over the world. The United States offered coffee shops. Tea houses became popular around China. Paris created beautiful restaurants for the rich. The British began to copy the French, and the restaurant idea spread all over Britain. Today cities are filled with restaurants with millions of choices for diners. 根据短文内容，判断句子正（T）、误（F）。 66. There were some restaurants in the world in 1755. 67.

Today, working out through online videos is becoming very popular. Since the Internet is widely used, it’s very easy for us to do so. That means we can work out anytime anywhere. One of my friends Lin Fei followed short workout videos to do daily exercise. “With live programs, I feel like working out with my friends, which encourages me to hold on to the last minute,” she said. Another friend of mine, Michael, told me that workout videos let him feel so comfortable. “I don’t like working out at the gym because I hate being watched by others. Working out at home is much more enjoyable.” he said. With their examples, I decided to give it a try. When I told my plan to my elder sister Susan, a P.E. teacher, she reminded me that workout videos could be helpful but might still carry some problems. “Without being with someone, you will be less willing (愿意的) to work out to your best.” my sister said to me. “Well, if you really want to have a try, first, choose proper programs or videos. That’s very important. And then ask your friends for advice. Their experiences can help you a lot.” At her suggestions, I finally followed an online workout program. After the first period of training, I felt it very practical and helpful. Compared with going to the gym, using online videos to work out is a much cheaper and time-saving choice. But it can be difficult sometimes when I’m too lazy or too busy. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 76.
