Besides effortless and short-distance hiking paths, there is a variety of native wildlife as well. Don’t miss Wildlife Walk, where visitors can enjoy close and personal views of native animals and plants. Chastain Memorial Park and Amphitheatre Apart from the running and walking roads, there’re also tennis courts and fields for playing ball games. Looking for a spot to host a family get-together? This could be an ideal place as there`re many pavilions(亭子)available. Kids can play on the special playgrounds. Of course, there is an amphitheater, which hosts outdoor concerts during summer. Cloudland Canyon(峡谷)State Park Featuring a beautiful canyon, this park is one of the largest and most scenic parks in Atlanta. At the bottom of the canyon are two waterfalls, where visitors can watch the water run over the sandstone. There are several different hiking paths around the park, but some may take several hours. If you’d like to stay overnight, there are regular camp places. 1 What do Centennial Olympic Park and Cloudland Canyon State Park have in common? A. They offer campsites. B. They have beautiful fountains. C. They host photo exhibitions regularly. D. They are equipped with top tennis courts. 2. What can a tourist do in Chattahooche Nature Center? A. Interact with rare animals. B. Have a bird view of the city. C. Take challenging hiking routes. D. Row a boat across the wetland. 3. Which is the best place for people to have a family party? A. Centennial Olympic Park. B. Chattahooche Nature Center. C. Chastain Memorial Park and Amphitheatre. D. Cloudland Canyon State Park. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了四个不容错过的世界级公园，帮助游客更好地探索亚特兰大这座城市。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据Centennial Olympic Park部分中的“Overnight campgrounds are offered. (提供过夜露营地。)”以及Cloudland Canyon (峡谷) State Park中“If you’d like to stay overnight, there are regular camp places. (如果你想过夜，这里有固定的露营地。)”可知，两者的共同之处为他们都提供露营地。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Chattahooche Nature Center部分中的“Visitors can begin their exploration at the Discovery Center, where they can see Atlanta from the top. (游客可以在探索中心开始他们的探索，在那里他们可以从顶部看到亚特兰大。)”可知，游客可以在这里鸟瞰这个城市。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Chastain Memorial Park and Amphitheatre部分中的“Looking for a spot to host a family get-together? This could be an ideal place as there`re many pavilions (亭子) available. (想找个地方举办家庭聚会吗?这可能是一个理想的地方，因为有很多亭子可用。)”可知，Chastain Memorial Park and Amphitheatre是人们举办家庭聚会的最佳场所。故选C。 B Natural disasters take many different forms and can happen without warning. The surface of the Earth has not always looked as it does today; it is moving continuously and has done so for billions of years. This is one cause of earthquakes, when one section of the Earth (tectonic plate) crashes with another. Scientists can predict where (but not when) this might happen and the area between p lates is called a fault line. However, earthquakes do not always happen on fault lines, which is why they are so dangerous and unpredictable. Volcanoes happen where the earth’s crust (地壳) is thin — lava (熔岩), dust and gases burst out from beneath the earth. They can rise into a massive cone (锥体) shape — like a mountain — and erupt, or they can be so violent that they just explode directly from the earth with no warning. However, scientists are becoming more skilled at predicting volcanic eruptions. Hurricanes are extremely strong storms and often happen in the Caribbean. They cause high winds, huge waves and heavy flooding and can be hundreds of miles across. Floods happen in many countries after very heavy rainfall. When rain pours for weeks at a time, rivers overflow and people and belongings can be trapped or simply washed away. Another kind of natural disaster is a drought. This happens when there is no water — when it doesn’t rain for a long time and rivers dry up. Plants, animals and even humans die as a result of drought, for we all need water to live. All the disasters mentioned above are very dangerous and continue to kill thousands of people each year, but they are nowhere near the most dangerous disaster to ever happen on earth: asteroid (小行星) impacts. About once every million years the Earth is hit by a piece of rock and ice from space large enough to cause massive destruction and sometimes to kill entire species. 4. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Why an earthquake happens. B. How scientists describe an earthquake. C. When sections of the Earth crash. D. What the surface of the Earth looks like. 5. Which of the following is the most dangerous natural disaster? A. Volcanoes. B. Hurricanes. C. Droughts. D. Asteroid impacts. 6 How many natural disasters are mentioned in the text? A. 4. B. 5. C. 6. D. 7. 7. How does the author develop the text? A. By expressing opinions. B. By listing examples. C. By telling some stories. D. By describing experiences. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了地震、火山喷发、飓风、洪水、干旱以及小行星撞击6种自然灾害。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The surface of the Earth has not always looked as it does today; it is moving continuously and has done so for billions of years. This is one cause of earthquakes, when one section of the Earth (tectonic plate) crashes with another. Scientists can predict where (but not when) this might happen and the area between p lates is called a fault line. However, earthquakes do not always happen on fault lines, which is why they are so dangerous and unpredictable.(地球表面并不总是像今天这样；它一直在移动，并且已经移动了几十亿年。这是地震的一个原因，当地球的一部分（构造板块）与另一部分碰撞时。科学家可以预测地震发生的地点（但不能预测何时），两个板块之间的区域被称为断层线。然而，地震并不总是发生在断层线上，这就是为什么它们如此危险和不可预测的原因)”可知，第二段的主要内容是地震发生的原因。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“All the disasters mentioned above are very dangerous and continue to kill thousands of people each year, but they are nowhere near the most dangerous disaster to ever happen on earth: asteroid (小行星) impacts.(上面提到的所有灾难都是非常危险的，每年都会导致成千上万的人死亡，但它们与地球上发生的最危险的灾难——小行星撞击——相去甚远)”可知，小行星撞击是最危险的自然灾害。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“However, earthquakes do not always happen on fault lines, which is why they are so dangerous and unpredictable.(然而，地震并不总是发生在断层线上，这就是为什么它们如此危险和不可预测的原因)”；第三段“However, scientists are becoming more skilled at predicting volcanic eruptions. (然而，科学家们在预测火山喷发方面变得越来越熟练)”；第四段“Hurricanes are extremely strong storms and often happen in the Caribbean.(飓风是非常强烈的风暴，经常发生在加勒比地区)”；第五段“Floods happen in many countries after very heavy rainfall. (许多国家在暴雨后都会发生洪水)”；第六段“Another kind of natural disaster is a drought. (另一种自然灾害是干旱)”以及最后一段“All the disasters mentioned above are very dangerous and continue to kill thousands of people each year, but they are nowhere near the most dangerous disaster to ever happen on earth: asteroid (小行星) impacts.(上面提到的所有灾难都是非常危险的，每年都会导致成千上万的人死亡，但它们与地球上发生的最危险的灾难——小行星撞击——相去甚远)”可知，文中提到了地震、火山喷发、飓风、洪水、干旱以及小行星撞击，6种自然灾害。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Natural disasters take many different forms and can happen without warning.(自然灾害有许多不同的形式，可能毫无征兆地发生)”以及最后一段“All the disasters mentioned above are very dangerous and continue to kill thousands of people each year, but they are nowhere near the most dangerous disaster to ever happen on earth: asteroid (小行星) impacts.(上面提到的所有灾难都是非常危险的，每年都会导致成千上万的人死亡，但它们与地球上发生的最危险的灾难——小行星撞击——相去甚远)”可知，第一段引出文章关于自然灾害的主题，结合后文列举了地震、火山喷发、飓风、洪水、干旱以及小行星撞击6种自然灾害，可知，作者通过列举例子展开文章。故选B。 C I presented a group project to my classmates. The first question asked was, “What words do you associate with rural education?” Some of the responses were positive. Others accurately portrayed a few of the negatives like “isolated” and “underfunded.” But I was surprised that some used words like “hillbillies” and “hicks” (乡巴佬). Previously, I felt proud of myself as a student from rural West Virginia. But at that moment, my pride sank. For a place that claims to welcome all, the Brown University has actually left its rural students feeling looked down upon. For a while, I never mentioned where I called home unless it was absolutely necessary. By the third month of my first year, I was prepared to transfer out of Brown and finish college at a school where I would be surrounded by people like me, people from rural communities. Then I realized that this response was just the one that my tormentors expected. Now I have decided to fight back. We need to change. But this deeply-rooted culture won’t change on its own. The University and its non-rural students can’t and won’t do it. So it is up to us, the rural students, to make a difference. So rural students, talk with your long, drawn-out accent, defend your hometown of hard-working people and condemn (谴责) the ignorance that attempts to deny your personhood. We must uplift other rural students in their academic and professional careers. We must be the ones to support each other. What we need is a club for that exact purpose. A rural students’ collective is the formal meeting place that we need and deserve. In an institution where rural students feel lost and deserted, we will soon find a common ground for each other. For the non-rural students and faculty wondering how to support us, don’t stick to your stereotypes (刻板印象) that rural students are dumb, ignorant and unintelligent. On the contrary, we are valuable, deserving and hard-working individuals. Brown’s faculty and students should welcome and embrace our contributions. 8. How did the writer feel after presenting the group project? A. Frustrated. B. Proud. C. Angry. D. Confused. 9. What group of students does the underlined word “tormentors” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to? A. Those who come from rural West Virginia. B. Those who are determined to make a change. C. Those who used words like “hillbillies” and “hicks” in their remarks. D. Those who associated rural education with “isolated” and “underfunded” . 10. How does the writer think rural students should fight back? A. They should turn to the college authority for help. B. They should unite and reach out to assist each other. C. They need to set up a special club for all the students. D. They are supposed to avoid speaking with their local accent. 11. What message does the writer want to convey? A. Positive attitudes contribute to a harmonious college. B. Discrimination is a common phenomenon in Virginia. C. Rural students in Brown are valuable and deserve respect. D. The Brown University badly needs to adjust its moral education. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文，文章作者就自己在布朗大学时同学对来自农村学生的歧视而号召大家一起反击。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“Previously, I felt proud of myself as a student from rural West Virginia. But at that moment, my pride sank. For a place that claims to welcome all, the Brown University has actually left its rural students feeling looked down upon.(以前，作为一名来自西弗吉尼亚州农村的学生，我为自己感到自豪。但那一刻，我的自尊心下降了。作为一个声称欢迎所有人的地方，布朗大学实际上让农村学生感到被轻视。)”可知，作者自豪感消失了，觉得自己被轻视了，所以感到沮丧和有挫败感，所以A项Frustrated(沮丧的；挫败的)符合。故选A项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第一段“But I was surprised that some used words like ‘hillbillies’ and ‘hicks’ (乡巴佬). (但我很惊讶，有些人使用了‘乡下人’和‘乡巴佬’这样的词。)”、第二段“By the third month of my first year, I was prepared to transfer out of Brown and finish college at a school where I would be surrounded by people like me, people from rural communities. Then I realized that this response was just the one that my tormentors expected.(到第一年的第三个月，我准备从布朗大学转学，在一所学校完成大学学业，在那里我会被像我一样的人包围，来自农村社区的人。然后我意识到，这种反应正是 所期望的。)”以及下段“Now I have decided to fight back. (现在我决定反击。)”可知，tormentors这里指那些说作者是“乡下人”和“乡巴佬”的一群人，所以现在作者决定反击他们。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“We must uplift other rural students in their academic and professional careers. We must be the ones to support each other.(我们必须提升其他农村学生的学术和职业生涯。我们必须相互支持。)”可知，作者建议农村学生要团结互助。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“For the non-rural students and faculty wondering how to support us, don’t stick to your stereotypes (刻板印象) that rural students are dumb, ignorant and unintelligent. On the contrary, we are valuable, deserving and hard-working individuals. Brown’s faculty and students should welcome and embrace our contributions.(对于那些想知道如何支持我们的非农村学生和教职员工来说，不要固守农村学生愚蠢、无知和不聪明的刻板印象。相反，我们是有价值、值得尊敬和勤奋的人。布朗大学的教职员工和学生应该欢迎并接受我们的贡献。)”可推测，作者认为布朗的农村学生很有价值，值得尊重。故选C项。 D A new study has found that smiling at London bus drivers increases happiness. The finding feels obvious and unexpected at the same time. The authors of the research, which was conducted by the University of Sussex and others, hope it will lead to “more interaction and kindness on buses”. On the Number 24 bus to Hampstead Heath, Londoners are sceptical. “Bus drivers,” says Liz Hands, a passenger, “are generally annoying.” It might seem improbable that a report on London’s buses could change behaviour. But it has happened before. London’s buses have an underappreciated role in the history of medical science. In the 1940s, a single study of London’s transport workers transformed epidemiology (流行病学), medicine and the way we live now. Every time you go on a run, check your step-count, or take the stairs instead of the lift, you are following a path pioneered by the feet of the workers on London’s buses. In the late 1940s, doctors were worried. Britain, like many rich countries, was suffering from an “epidemic” of heart disease and no one knew why Various hypotheses (假设), such as stress, were suggested; but one thing that was not exercising researchers was exercise. The idea that health and exercise were linked “wasn’t the accepted fact that we know today”, says Nick Wareham, a professor of epidemiology at Cambridge University. Some even felt that “too much physical activity was a bad thing for your health”. Miners and farmers who did physical exercise also suffered from various diseases and died young. At this time a young doctor called Jerry Morris started to suspect that the increasing deaths from heart disease might be linked to occupation. He began studying the medical records of 31,000 London transport workers. His findings were breathtaking: conductors, who spent their time running up and down stairs, had an approximately 30% lower possibility of disease than drivers, who sat down all day. Exercise was keeping people alive. Morris’s research was eventually published in 1953, just three years after a study by Richard Doll proving the link between smoking and lung cancer. Morris’s work had consequences both big and small. Morris now also took up exercise, handing his jacket to his daughter and just running. “People thought I was bananas.” Slowly, the rest of the world took off its jacket and followed. 12. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. The former study made much difference. B. Running was regarded as harmful behavior. C. Smiling at drivers can cure passengers’ diseases. D. London passengers can understand bus drivers well. 13. What does the underlined part “exercising researchers” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Encouraging researchers to work out. B. Helping with researchers’ inquiry. C. Holding back researchers’ progress. D. Drawing researchers’ attention. 14. How did Morris conduct his study on the transport employees? A. By carrying out survey. B. By observing their routines. C. By doing medical examinations. D. By analyzing the medical data. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Smiling and Its Effects on London Bus Drivers. B. The Evolution of London’s Transportation System. C. How London Bus Drivers Led the world to exercise. D. What Londoners Think about Studies on Bus Drivers. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了伦敦公交车司机是如何改变世界，并导致运动的发明。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“London’s buses have an underappreciated role in the history of medical science. In the 1940s, a single study of London’s transport workers transformed epidemiology (流行病学), medicine and the way we live now. (20世纪40年代，一项针对伦敦运输工人的研究改变了流行病学、医学和我们现在的生活方式)”可知，20世纪40年代的那项研究影响很大，故选A项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The idea that health and exercise were linked “wasn’t the accepted fact that we know today”, says Nick Wareham, a professor of epidemiology at Cambridge University. Some even felt that “too much physical activity was a bad thing for your health”. Miners and farmers who did physical exercise also suffered from various diseases and died young. (剑桥大学流行病学教授Nick Wareham表示，健康和运动有关的观点“在当时并不是我们今天所知道的公认事实”。一些人甚至认为“过多的体育活动对你的健康有害”。从事体育锻炼的矿工和农民也会患上各种疾病，英年早逝)”可知，当时认为锻炼会对健康有害，即锻炼没有引起研究人员的注意。故划线词意思是“引起研究人员的注意”。A. Encouraging researchers to work out鼓励研究人员锻炼身体；B. Helping with researchers’ inquiry协助研究人员进行调查；C. Holding back researchers’ progress阻碍研究人员的进步；D. Drawing researchers’ attention引起研究人员的注意。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“At this time a young doctor called Jerry Morris started to suspect that the increasing deaths from heart disease might be linked to occupation. He began studying the medical records of 31,000 London transport workers. ( 这时，一位名叫杰里·莫里斯的年轻医生开始怀疑，心脏病导致的超额死亡人数可能与职业有关。他开始研究31000名伦敦运输工人的医疗记录。)”可知，杰里·莫里斯医生通过分析运输工人的医疗记录展开研究，故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段“It might seem improbable that a report on London’s buses could change behaviour. But it has happened before. London’s buses have an underappreciated role in the history of medical science. In the 1940s, a single study of London’s transport workers transformed epidemiology (流行病学), medicine and the way we live now. Every time you go on a run, check your step-count, or take the stairs instead of the lift, you are following a path pioneered by the feet of the workers on London’s buses. (一份关于伦敦公交车报告似乎不太可能改变人们的行为。但这种情况以前也发生过。伦敦的公共汽车在医学科学史上的作用被低估了。20世纪40年代，一项针对伦敦交通工人的研究改变了流行病学、医学和我们现在的生活方式。每当你跑步、检查步数、或走楼梯而不是乘电梯时，你都是在追随伦敦公共汽车上工人们的脚步)”可知，文章主要说明了伦敦公共汽车上的工人曾经改变了人们如今的生活方式，曾经人们认为锻炼有害身体，结果对工人的研究发现锻炼使人保持活力。可知，C选项“How London Bus Drivers Led the world to exercise. (伦敦巴士司机如何引领世界运动)”最符合题意。故选C。 第二节 (共 5 小题；每小题 2. 5 分, 满分 12. 5 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。 We all have times in our lives when we just have too many things to deal with. ____16____ Well, that’s crazy, because if you get ill then you’re going to be able to do nothing.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出在我们的生活中，都有很多事情要处理的时候，而这带来的结果就是我们经常忘记要照顾好我们自己。文章就如何照顾自己提出了建议。 【16题详解】 根据上文“We all have times in our lives when we just have too many things to deal with. (在我们的生活中，我们都有过要处理太多事情的时候。)”和下文“Here are some ideas to take care of yourself. (这里有一些照顾自己的建议。)”可知，空处和上文形成因果关系，解释了为什么我们会在忙碌中忘记照顾自己，即“生活中有太多事情需要处理”，并自然引出了后文关于如何照顾自己的讨论。F项：As a result, we often forget to look after ourselves. (因此，我们经常忘记照顾好自己。)符合语境。故选F。 【17题详解】 空处为段落主题句。根据下文“Living with clutter and never being able to find what you need when you need it causes stress. Take time to develop a system and then use it. Instead of keeping all the things you need to do in your head, write them down on a piece of paper. (生活在杂乱的环境中，当你需要的时候总是找不到你需要的东西，这会带来压力。花时间开发一个系统，然后使用它。不要把所有需要做的事情都记在脑子里，把它们写在纸上。)”可知，提到杂乱无章会带来压力，因此建议我们花时间建立并使用系统来整理生活。A项：Get organized. (做事有条理。)符合语境。故选A。 【18题详解】 根据下文“And negative ones will disappear. If we want to be successful in work and life, we need to develop the habit of feeding our minds in a positive way. (消极的想法就会消失。如果我们想在工作和生活中取得成功，我们需要养成以积极的方式充实我们大脑的习惯。)”可知，空处指出要有积极的想法，下文中的“in a positive way”与D项中的“positive thoughts”对应。D项：Fill your minds with positive thoughts. (让你的头脑充满积极的想法。)符合语境。故选D。 【19题详解】 本段主旨句为“Say no to anything that is not important to you. (对任何对你不重要的事情说不。)”，空处是对上文“Getting the unnecessary, tiresome responsibilities off your schedule will give you more time and space.

(每小时休息5分钟。)”和下文“So no matter how efficiently you work, you should always have your mind relaxed or end up spending time doing other things when you try to keep going hour after hour. (所以无论你的工作效率有多高，你都应该让你的大脑放松，否则当你试图一个小时接一个小时地工作时，你就会把时间花在其他事情上。)”可知，空处和下文形成因果关系，解释了需要休息的原因。C项：You can’t stay focused all the time.

Zhangjiajie National Park is now a UNESCO World Heritage site, one that ____39____ (see) tourism boom during the past years, promoting economic ____40____ (grow), providing jobs and development opportunities for the locals. The mountains, rock caves and karst (喀斯特) formations have led people to call it a “fairyland”. The park has thick forests, deep canyons, unusual peaks, caves, and pillar-like rock formations blanketed throughout the park. These pillar-like rock formations are what the park ____41____ (be) known for around the world, because they are not typical limestone eroded pillars. One of the fastest and most effortless ____42____ (way) to experience the area is by riding up the world’s ____43____ (tall) outdoor elevator. The 326-meter-tall glass Bailong Elevator ____44____ (build) onto the side of a cliff in the national park years ago. It offers amazing views of the karst formations. Many _____45_____ (endanger) species of animals and plants can be found there, which made the Chinese government begin conservation efforts to preserve the landscape of Zhangjiajie National Park. 【答案】36. everyone’s 37. who 38. a 39. has seen 40. growth 41. is 42. ways 43. tallest 44. was built 45. endangered 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了张家界国家森林公园。它是一个适合那些热爱自然、渴望冒险并想逃离日常生活的人的地方。文章讲述了它的景色特点以及这些年的发展状况。 【36题详解】 考查名词所有格。句意：它并不适合每个人的口味，就像不是每个人都喜欢看电影《阿凡达》一样。空格处位于名词之前，因此需要用名词所有格形式，表示“……的”。故填everyone’s。 【37题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：但对于那些热爱大自然，希望寻求冒险，想要逃离日常生活的人来说，张家界是必须的。分析句子结构可知，空格处为定语从句的连接词，且在从句中作主语，先行词为those，指人，所以用who。故填who。 【38题详解】 考查冠词。句意：但对于那些热爱大自然，希望寻求冒险，想要逃离日常生活的人来说，张家界是必须的。must为名词，表示“必游之地”，为泛指，所以需要用不定冠词。连接辅音，故填a。 【39题详解】 考查现在完成时与主谓一致。句意：张家界国家公园现已被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产，在过去的几年里，这里的旅游业蓬勃发展，促进了经济增长，为当地人提供了就业和发展机会。空格处需要填入谓语动词，句子的时间状语为“during the past years”，所以要用现在完成时，主语为one，为单数，所以助动词用has。故填has seen。 【40题详解】 考查名词。句意：张家界国家公园现已被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产，在过去的几年里，这里的旅游业蓬勃发展，促进了经济增长，为当地人提供了就业和发展机会。空格处位于形容词之后作宾语，所以要用名词，grow的名词为growth，意为“增长”为不可数名词。故填growth。 【41题详解】 考查一般现在时与主谓一致。句意：这些柱状岩层是该公园闻名于世的地方，因为它们不是典型的石灰岩侵蚀柱。本句中为描述现在的事实情况，因此用一般现在时，主语为the park，所以用is。故填is。 【42题详解】 考查名词。句意：体验该地区最快、最轻松的方式之一是乘坐世界上最高的户外电梯。one of the +可数名词复数，意为“……之一”。故填ways。 【43题详解】 考查形容词。句意：体验该地区最快、最轻松的方式之一是乘坐世界上最高的户外电梯。形容词前有定冠词the，所以用最高级，此处表示“世界上最高的”。故填tallest。 【44题详解】 考查被动语态。句意：这座326米高的玻璃白龙电梯是几年前建在国家公园的悬崖边上的。主语“The 326-meter-tall glass Bailong Elevator”与build之间为被动关系，且发生在过去，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，主语为单数，所以be动词用was。故填was built， 【45题详解】 考查形容词。句意：在那里可以找到许多濒危的动植物物种，这使得中国政府开始保护张家界国家公园的景观。空格处位于名词之前，因此需要填入形容词，修饰名词，endanger的形容词为endangered。故填endangered。 第三分部分 写作（共两节；满分 40 分） 第一节 书面表达（满分 15 分） 46. 假定你是李华，你对你的交换生好友Peter最近组建的乒乓球俱乐部很感兴趣，特发邮件向他咨询。内容包括：（1）俱乐部简介(信息)； （2）希望加入。 注意：（1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Peter, __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】One possible version: Dear Peter, Glad to hear that you have set up the table tennis club recently, I’m interested in it.

He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible. “Why are you in such a hurry, early bird?” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum,” Peter said. “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the test is difficult, I am well prepared for it.” Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote the word on his test paper quickly and confidently. “The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said. “So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down. Thirty minutes later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I’m going to mark your papers,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got full marks on the spelling test!” Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter got an English-Chinese dictionary —the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he waved it highly. “This is my happiest moment.” Peter shouted. After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his performance. All of a sudden, the word “contribution” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to the word. “C-o-n-t-r-i-b-u-s-i-o-n,” he whispered. It was wrong. “What should I do?” Peter asked himself, staring at the red full marks. 注意：1.续写词数应为150词左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Peter was lost in thought. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A month later, Peter happily told his mother a piece of good news. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One Possible Version Peter was lost in thought. “Should I return the dictionary? If so, I would lose what I have expected for a long time. But, if not, I can’t persuade myself to pretend to be as calm as nothing happened.” Suddenly Mum’s words flew into his mind: “We ought to be honest.” Without any hesitation, holding the dictionary and the test paper in hand, Peter approached to Mr. White quickly. Being praised for honesty in front of the class, Peter was very delighted and decided to get full marks in the next test. A month later, Peter happily told his mother a piece of good news. He would be given the title An honesty boy by the school the next day. Hearing the news, as excited as Peter, Mum kissed Peter on the cheek, saying “I feel so proud of you for your good virtue, honey.” At school, Mr. White handed the dictionary to Peter once again, saying it was not for his score but for his good quality. Laughter lingering around the classroom, Peter set an example to other students that honesty is the best policy. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。文章讲述了Peter为了得到老师的奖品，精心为英语拼写测试做准备，测试完以后，Peter因得了100 分而获得了奖品——他最喜欢的英汉词典，可是试卷发下来时，Peter发现老师误判了，经过激烈的思想斗争后，想起妈妈教育自己做人要诚实，Peter最终告诉了老师事实，Peter在全班同学面前被表扬了诚实，一个月后，Peter被学校授予“诚实男孩”的称号，妈妈为此感到骄傲，老师又一次把字典递给Peter作为他诚实的奖励。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Peter陷入了沉思。”可知，第一段可以从 Peter 向老师解释测试的失误，以及老师对 Peter 这种诚实行为的评价入手，进行续写。 ②由第二段首句内容“一个月后，Peter高兴地告诉妈妈一个好消息。”可知，第二段可描写具体哪件事让Peter高兴，把这个好消息告诉了妈妈，妈妈为他的诚实表扬他，他的老师也送给Peter原来的字典作为奖励。 2.续写线索：Peter的思想斗争——决定告诉老师实情——老师表扬Peter诚实——学校表彰Peter——Peter告诉妈妈——妈妈感到骄傲——老师因此送出奖励 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①期待：expected/looked forward to/anticipated ②接近：approached to/be close to/came near/drew near ③决心：decided/determined/made up one’s mind/resolve 情绪类 ①高兴的：delighted/pleased/happy/cheerful ②兴奋的：excited/cordial/feverish 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

Centennial Olympic Park Created for the 1996 Olympics, this park is well worth a visit. Visitors can be entertained by free music and lots of public art. Photography lovers should take advantage of all the photo opportunities the park affords. One of the big draws especially for children in summer is the fountains. Sometimes there are free concerts and movies in the park. Overnight campgrounds are offered. Chattahooche Nature Center Visitors can begin their exploration at the Discovery Center, where they can see Atlanta from the top. There’s also a river boardwalk crossing the wetland area. Besides effortless and short-distance hiking paths, there is a variety of native wildlife as well. Don’t miss Wildlife Walk, where visitors can enjoy close and personal views of native animals and plants. Chastain Memorial Park and Amphitheatre Apart from the running and walking roads, there’re also tennis courts and fields for playing ball games. Looking for a spot to host a family get-together? This could be an ideal place as there`re many pavilions(亭子)available. Kids can play on the special playgrounds. Of course, there is an amphitheater, which hosts outdoor concerts during summer. Cloudland Canyon(峡谷)State Park Featuring a beautiful canyon, this park is one of the largest and most scenic parks in Atlanta. At the bottom of the canyon are two waterfalls, where visitors can watch the water run over the sandstone. There are several different hiking paths around the park, but some may take several hours. If you’d like to stay overnight, there are regular camp places. 1. What do Centennial Olympic Park and Cloudland Canyon State Park have in common? A. They offer campsites. B. They have beautiful fountains. C. They host photo exhibitions regularly. D. They are equipped with top tennis courts. 2. What can a tourist do in Chattahooche Nature Center? A. Interact with rare animals. B. Have a bird view of the city. C. Take challenging hiking routes. D. Row a boat across the wetland. 3. Which is the best place for people to have a family party? A. Centennial Olympic Park. B. Chattahooche Nature Center. C. Chastain Memorial Park and Amphitheatre. D. Cloudland Canyon State Park. B Natural disasters take many different forms and can happen without warning. The surface of the Earth has not always looked as it does today; it is moving continuously and has done so for billions of years. This is one cause of earthquakes, when one section of the Earth (tectonic plate) crashes with another. Scientists can predict where (but not when) this might happen and the area between p lates is called a fault line. However, earthquakes do not always happen on fault lines, which is why they are so dangerous and unpredictable. Volcanoes happen where the earth’s crust (地壳) is thin — lava (熔岩), dust and gases burst out from beneath the earth. They can rise into a massive cone (锥体) shape — like a mountain — and erupt, or they can be so violent that they just explode directly from the earth with no warning. However, scientists are becoming more skilled at predicting volcanic eruptions. Hurricanes are extremely strong storms and often happen in the Caribbean. They cause high winds, huge waves and heavy flooding and can be hundreds of miles across. Floods happen in many countries after very heavy rainfall. When rain pours for weeks at a time, rivers overflow and people and belongings can be trapped or simply washed away. Another kind of natural disaster is a drought. This happens when there is no water — when it doesn’t rain for a long time and rivers dry up. Plants, animals and even humans die as a result of drought, for we all need water to live. All the disasters mentioned above are very dangerous and continue to kill thousands of people each year, but they are nowhere near the most dangerous disaster to ever happen on earth: asteroid (小行星) impacts. About once every million years the Earth is hit by a piece of rock and ice from space large enough to cause massive destruction and sometimes to kill entire species. 4. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Why an earthquake happens. B. How scientists describe an earthquake. C. When sections of the Earth crash. D. What the surface of the Earth looks like. 5. Which of the following is the most dangerous natural disaster? A. Volcanoes. B. Hurricanes. C. Droughts. D. Asteroid impacts. 6. How many natural disasters are mentioned in the text? A. 4. B. 5. C. 6. D. 7. 7. How does the author develop the text? A. By expressing opinions. B. By listing examples. C. By telling some stories. D. By describing experiences. C I presented a group project to my classmates. The first question asked was, “What words do you associate with rural education?” Some of the responses were positive. Others accurately portrayed a few of the negatives like “isolated” and “underfunded.” But I was surprised that some used words like “hillbillies” and “hicks” (乡巴佬). Previously, I felt proud of myself as a student from rural West Virginia. But at that moment, my pride sank. For a place that claims to welcome all, the Brown University has actually left its rural students feeling looked down upon. For a while, I never mentioned where I called home unless it was absolutely necessary. By the third month of my first year, I was prepared to transfer out of Brown and finish college at a school where I would be surrounded by people like me, people from rural communities. Then I realized that this response was just the one that my tormentors expected. Now I have decided to fight back. We need to change. But this deeply-rooted culture won’t change on its own. The University and its non-rural students can’t and won’t do it. So it is up to us, the rural students, to make a difference. So rural students, talk with your long, drawn-out accent, defend your hometown of hard-working people and condemn (谴责) the ignorance that attempts to deny your personhood. We must uplift other rural students in their academic and professional careers. We must be the ones to support each other. What we need is a club for that exact purpose. A rural students’ collective is the formal meeting place that we need and deserve. In an institution where rural students feel lost and deserted, we will soon find a common ground for each other. For the non-rural students and faculty wondering how to support us, don’t stick to your stereotypes (刻板印象) that rural students are dumb, ignorant and unintelligent. On the contrary, we are valuable, deserving and hard-working individuals. Brown’s faculty and students should welcome and embrace our contributions. 8. How did the writer feel after presenting the group project? A. Frustrated. B. Proud. C. Angry. D. Confused. 9. What group of students does the underlined word “tormentors” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to? A. Those who come from rural West Virginia. B. Those who are determined to make a change. C. Those who used words like “hillbillies” and “hicks” in their remarks. D. Those who associated rural education with “isolated” and “underfunded” . 10 How does the writer think rural students should fight back? A. They should turn to the college authority for help. B. They should unite and reach out to assist each other. C. They need to set up a special club for all the students. D. They are supposed to avoid speaking with their local accent. 11. What message does the writer want to convey? A. Positive attitudes contribute to a harmonious college. B. Discrimination is a common phenomenon in Virginia. C. Rural students in Brown are valuable and deserve respect. D The Brown University badly needs to adjust its moral education. D A new study has found that smiling at London bus drivers increases happiness. The finding feels obvious and unexpected at the same time. The authors of the research, which was conducted by the University of Sussex and others, hope it will lead to “more interaction and kindness on buses”. On the Number 24 bus to Hampstead Heath, Londoners are sceptical. “Bus drivers,” says Liz Hands, a passenger, “are generally annoying.” It might seem improbable that a report on London’s buses could change behaviour. But it has happened before. London’s buses have an underappreciated role in the history of medical science. In the 1940s, a single study of London’s transport workers transformed epidemiology (流行病学), medicine and the way we live now. Every time you go on a run, check your step-count, or take the stairs instead of the lift, you are following a path pioneered by the feet of the workers on London’s buses. In the late 1940s, doctors were worried. Britain, like many rich countries, was suffering from an “epidemic” of heart disease and no one knew why Various hypotheses (假设), such as stress, were suggested; but one thing that was not exercising researchers was exercise. The idea that health and exercise were linked “wasn’t the accepted fact that we know today”, says Nick Wareham, a professor of epidemiology at Cambridge University. Some even felt that “too much physical activity was a bad thing for your health”. Miners and farmers who did physical exercise also suffered from various diseases and died young. At this time a young doctor called Jerry Morris started to suspect that the increasing deaths from heart disease might be linked to occupation. He began studying the medical records of 31,000 London transport workers. His findings were breathtaking: conductors, who spent their time running up and down stairs, had an approximately 30% lower possibility of disease than drivers, who sat down all day. Exercise was keeping people alive. Morris’s research was eventually published in 1953, just three years after a study by Richard Doll proving the link between smoking and lung cancer. Morris’s work had consequences both big and small. Morris now also took up exercise, handing his jacket to his daughter and just running. “People thought I was bananas.” Slowly, the rest of the world took off its jacket and followed. 12. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. The former study made much difference. B Running was regarded as harmful behavior. C. Smiling at drivers can cure passengers’ diseases. D. London passengers can understand bus drivers well. 13. What does the underlined part “exercising researchers” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Encouraging researchers to work out. B. Helping with researchers’ inquiry. C. Holding back researchers’ progress. D. Drawing researchers’ attention. 14. How did Morris conduct his study on the transport employees? A. By carrying out survey. B. By observing their routines. C. By doing medical examinations. D. By analyzing the medical data. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Smiling and Its Effects on London Bus Drivers. B. The Evolution of London’s Transportation System. C. How London Bus Drivers Led the world to exercise. D. What Londoners Think about Studies on Bus Drivers. 第二节 (共 5 小题；每小题 2. 5 分, 满分 12. 5 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。 We all have times in our lives when we just have too many things to deal with. ____16____ Well, that’s crazy, because if you get ill then you’re going to be able to do nothing.

He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible. “Why are you in such a hurry early bird?” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum,” Peter said. “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the test is difficult, I am well prepared for it.” Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote the word on his test paper quickly and confidently. “The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said. “So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down. Thirty minutes later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I’m going to mark your papers,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got full marks on the spelling test!” Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter got an English-Chinese dictionary —the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he waved it highly. “This is my happiest moment.” Peter shouted. After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his performance. All of a sudden, the word “contribution” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to the word. “C-o-n-t-r-i-b-u-s-i-o-n,” he whispered. It was wrong. “What should I do?” Peter asked himself, staring at the red full marks. 注意：1.续写词数应为150词左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Peter was lost in thought. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A month later Peter happily told his mother a piece of good news. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
