A man sat at an underground station in Washington, D.C., and started to play the violin. It was a cold day in January. He played six Bach(巴赫)pieces for about 45 minutes. It was rush hour and thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by and the first person, a middle-aged man, noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed down and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule.
After a minute, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a young woman threw the money in the box and continued to walk. Then another few minutes went by and someone stood against the wall to listen to him, but the young man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.

D. Answer the questions: (6%)
Astronauts have already visited the Moon and lived on space stations. They’ve never been to another planet, but they might visit Mars soon. The astronauts will spend about six months traveling to the planet, then about two years on the planet and about six months traveling back to the Earth. They will be away from the Earth for about three years, so they’ll need a lot of food!
It’s very expensive to take food into space. It costs about 120,000 dollars to carry something that weighs one kilogram. So an apple on Mars could cost 20,000 dollars! Of course, they will need to take quite a lot of food with them to feed the astronauts for three years. This amount of fresh food can not stay fresh, and is very expensive to take, so they need to find food that is not very heavy.
At the moment, astronauts in space stations eat dried food. It’s very light, so it doesn’t cost a lot of money to carry it into space. But astronauts stay healthier and happier if they eat fresh food. In the future, astronauts on Mars may grow vegetables like lettuce, spinach and carrots.
Astronauts on Mars will probably have special machines. They will use these machines to change beans into foods that taste like meat or cheese. They probably won’t eat real meat or cheese because it won’t be possible to keep animals in space.
55. Which part of the space have the astronauts visited according to this passage?
______________________________
56. How long will it take the astronauts to get to Mars?
______________________________
57. Why do the astronauts take light food to space stations?
______________________________
58. Astronauts can’t grow vegetables like lettuce in space now, can they?
______________________________
59. How can astronauts change beans into foods that taste like meat or cheese?
______________________________
60. What do you think of astronauts’ life on Mars? Why?
______________________________

61. Write an article on the topic of “my experience of trying new things”. You should write at least 60 words.
Guiding questions:
1. What did you try doing?
2. What were your difficulties and solutions?
3. What did you learn from the experience?

23. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了Sham在一次交通事故中失去了一只手臂,在克服重重困难后,他努力练习小提琴的故事。
【17题详解】
句意:当Sham在医院醒来时不停地大喊。根据“His left arm bone was smashed...in the hospital.”和参考词汇可知,他的左臂骨头被撞碎了,他被送到了医院,可推测此处是在医院醒来时,句子缺少谓语,从句时态为一般过去时,动词用过去式,woke up表示“醒来”,woke为动词过去式。故选C。
【18题详解】
句意:这是他唯一能想到的阻止事情变得更糟的方法,尽管这根本没有用。根据“‘I can’t feel my hand!’...It was the only way he could think of to stop things from getting...”和参考词汇可知,Sham大喊“我感觉不到我的手了”,此处是这是他唯一能想到的阻止事情变得更糟的方法,get worse表示“变得更糟”。故选E。
【19题详解】
句意:后来他知道他必须面对所有的困难。根据“At first, he couldn’t even tie his shoes, open a bottle of water or cut his fingernails by himself.”和参考词汇可知,起初,他甚至不能自己系鞋带、打开一瓶水或剪指甲,此处应为他知道他必须面对所有的困难,all后需填名词复数,difficulties“困难”为名词复数形式。故选B。
【20题详解】
句意:在妻子的支持下,他开始参加各种活动。根据“...he began to...all kinds of activities.”和参考词汇可知,此处应为他开始参加各种活动,begin to do sth表示“开始做某事”,不定式to后需填动词原形,动词短语take part in表示“参加”。故选D。
【21题详解】

A man sat at an underground station in Washington, D.C., and started to play the violin. It was a cold day in January. He played six Bach(巴赫)pieces for about 45 minutes. It was rush hour and thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by and the first person, a middle-aged man, noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed down and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule.
After a minute, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a young woman threw the money in the box and continued to walk. Then another few minutes went by and someone stood against the wall to listen to him, but the young man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.
During the musician’s performance, only six people stopped and stayed for a while, twenty gave him money but continued to walk. When he finished playing, no one applauded(鼓掌). No one knew the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the best musicians in the world.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing in the underground station was organized by The Washington Post(《华盛顿邮报》)as part of a social experiment. One of the conclusions from this experiment could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music, how many other things are we missing?
36. The story took place on __________.
A. a cold morning B. a winter evening C. a freezing weekend D. a January afternoon

A. a middle-aged man B. a young man
C. a young woman D. a small girl

C. recognized him D. gave response to his performance
40. The people going past Joshua Bell __________.
A. showed interest in his violin B. seemed in their hurry

推理判断题。根据短文中most of them on their way to work、He slowed down and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule以及a young woman threw the money in the box and continued to walk可知,这几个地方给我们描述了一些过路人,大多数人是在上班的路上,即使有人在这个音乐家前面停下来,也是很短暂,然后又急匆匆的走了。故应选B。
【41题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文意和短文的最后If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music, how many other things are we missing?可知,如果我们没有一刻停歇去听一听这个世界上最棒的音乐家演奏最好的音乐,那么我们还错过了多少其他的东西?这个实验是想告诉我们要去关注周围发生的事情,不要只急急忙忙的向前赶路。故D选项符合文意。
点睛:这篇短文通过一个小故事告诉了我们一个生活中的道理。掌握故事的大意,体会作者讲这个故事的目的是解题的关键。后面的题目设置以细节理解题为主,也考查了推理判断和主旨大意。细节理解题型比较简单,我们可以先读题目,从题目中定位一个关键词,然后在原文中找到相对应的地方作答。例如第1小题,提问的是故事发生的时间,在寻找答案的时候,我们要特别注意表示时间的数字、月份等等。第5小题是推理判断题,从短文中的几个细节我们可以看出,故事发生的时候是人们上班的高峰时刻,很多人都急忙地走在上班的路上,很匆忙。从短文中举的几个过路人的例子也可以看出来。

D. Answer the questions: (6%)
Astronauts have already visited the Moon and lived on space stations. They’ve never been to another planet, but they might visit Mars soon. The astronauts will spend about six months traveling to the planet, then about two years on the planet and about six months traveling back to the Earth. They will be away from the Earth for about three years, so they’ll need a lot of food!
It’s very expensive to take food into space. It costs about 120,000 dollars to carry something that weighs one kilogram. So an apple on Mars could cost 20,000 dollars! Of course, they will need to take quite a lot of food with them to feed the astronauts for three years. This amount of fresh food can not stay fresh, and is very expensive to take, so they need to find food that is not very heavy.
At the moment, astronauts in space stations eat dried food. It’s very light, so it doesn’t cost a lot of money to carry it into space. But astronauts stay healthier and happier if they eat fresh food. In the future, astronauts on Mars may grow vegetables like lettuce, spinach and carrots.
Astronauts on Mars will probably have special machines. They will use these machines to change beans into foods that taste like meat or cheese. They probably won’t eat real meat or cheese because it won’t be possible to keep animals in space.
55. Which part of the space have the astronauts visited according to this passage?

【答案】55. Astronauts have already visited the Moon./The Moon.

【59题详解】
根据“Astronauts on Mars will probably have special machines. They will use these machines to change beans into foods that taste like meat or cheese.”可知,火星上的宇航员可能会有特殊的机器,他们将使用这些机器将豆子变成味道像肉或奶酪的食物。故填By using special machines.

My Experience of Trying New Things
Recently, I had the opportunity to try something new—rock climbing. It was an activity that I had always been curious about but never had the chance to try until a few weeks ago. Even though I was aware of the safety measures, I couldn’t help but feel a bit scared when I first put on the harness and secured the clip. With the guidance of the instructor, I began to climb. Finally I made it. The experience of trying rock climbing was both challenging and rewarding. It taught me the importance of perseverance, as well as the joy that comes from trying something new.
