C 【解析】 【原文】M: Good morning, everybody. Glad to meet you here. I’d like to share my experience as a sports journalist with all of you. A few years ago, my newspaper sent me to China to report on the Olympic Games in Beijing. Everywhere I went I was questioned by journalism students: How much money did I earn? How many countries had I visited? Had I met David Beckham? In China, sports reporting is seen as a dream job and Chinese students are fascinated by foreign sports reporters. Several years later I visited China again to write about a major motor race in Shanghai. At the track I saw one of those former students, Li Jie. He was working for one of China’s largest news agencies. I asked him about his life as a sports writer. He replied that sometimes it was wonderful. But there was a lot of travel, a lot of stress and sometimes sports people were not very helpful. Li had discovered one of the hard truths about life as a sports writer. You might think all you need are writing skills and knowledge of sports. These are certainly important, but you also need to be prepared for many problems. On that visit to Shanghai for example, the journey from my hotel to the race-track took at least three hours. For four days, I followed racing drivers and organizers around but they were too busy to talk to me. When I finally got back to my hotel at night, everything, including the restaurant, was closed. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Four Theme Parks in Florida Here are four of the best theme parks in Florida so you can start planning your next trip. Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Home to over 50 attractions Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is an animal-focused theme park with an emphasis on keeping rare animals. Here, you’ll find the tallest and fastest roller coaster (过山车) in the world, Montu, as well as the area’s largest zoo, with over 200 animal species. One of its newest coasters is the heart-stopping Iron Gwazi which ascends (上升) 206 feet in the air and reaches speeds of up to 76 miles per hour. Magic Kingdom Park This park set the standard for the Florida theme park industry we know today when it opened in 1971. Today, Magic Kingdom Park bridges the old with the new, inviting guests to relive the tales of childhood and enjoy beloved attractions, like Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s also the home of Disney World’s newest ride, TRON Lightcycle/ Run, an exciting roller coaster. Legoland Florida Themed with the brightly coloured bricks, Legoland Florida is the place for the next generation of excitement seekers, home to entry-level roller coasters and kid-friendly attractions. The park’s newest attractions include Pirate River Quest, a scenic boat ride through the former Cypress Garden. While the attractions may focus on younger guests, this is really a park for everyone. Universal Studios Florida Inspired by the greatest moments from entertainment history, Universal Studios Florida is a movie and television-themed park that began as an actual working studio. Several lands pay homage (致敬) to iconic sets, including San Francisco and New York. This is also where kids can find The Wizarding World of Harry Potter—Diagon Alley, one of the most impressive theme parks ever built. 21. What can you find in Busch Gardens Tampa Bay? A. A variety of animals. B. More than 200 attractions. C. Shows at 206 feet high. D. The oldest roller coaster in the world. 22. What is known about Magic Kingdom Park? A It is for children only. B. It is the first theme park in the USA. C. It combines classic attractions with new offerings. D. It serves as a working studio. 23. Which theme park attracts those fond of Harry Potter? A. Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. B. Magic Kingdom Park. C. Universal Studios Florida. D. Legoland Florida. 【答案】21. A 22. C 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了佛罗里达州最棒的四个主题公园。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Busch Gardens Tampa Bay部分的句子“Home to over 50 attractions, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is an animal-focused theme park with an emphasis on keeping rare animals.(坦帕湾布希花园拥有50多个景点，是一个以动物为中心的主题公园，重点是保护稀有动物。)”可知，在坦帕湾的布希花园，你可以看到许多种动物。故选A项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Magic Kingdom Park部分的句子“Today, Magic Kingdom Park bridges the old with the new, inviting guests to relive the tales of childhood and enjoy beloved attractions, like Pirates of the Caribbean.(今天，魔法王国公园将新旧桥梁连接起来，邀请游客重温童年的故事，享受心爱的景点，如加勒比海盗。)”可知，魔法王国公园将经典与现代融合在一起。故选C项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Universal Studios Florida部分的句子“This is also where kids can find The Wizarding World of Harry Potter—Diagon Alley, one of the most impressive theme parks ever built.(孩子们也可以在这里找到哈利波特的魔法世界——对角巷，这是有史以来最令人印象深刻的主题公园之一。)”可知，佛罗里达环球影城会吸引那些喜欢《哈利波特》这部电影的人。故选C项。 B Finnish Lapland, in the far north of Europe, is home to some 180, 000 people and around 200, 000 reindeer (驯鹿) . The animals live wild but each one has an owner, identified by a mark on its ear. Anne Ollila, 50, one of 4, 000 such owners, works in the Finnish part of this region with her husband and two adult sons and their families. They farm the animals mainly for meat, but reindeer tourism has also become an important source of income. Ollila lives 80 kilometres inside the Arctic Circle, an hour from Lapland’s capital city, Rovaniemi, and seven kilometres from her nearest neighbour. Summer days — when the reindeer raisers earmark newborn reindeer—are long and in June the sun never sets. At that time Ollila sleeps during the day and walks up to 20 kilometres a night through the forest, making the most of the cooler temperatures to do her work but having to endure large groups of insects along the way. In deepest winter, there is little daylight. Many grasslands are frozen and the reindeer move into the forest for protection against wolves and golden eagles — the birds can kill an adult reindeer. Ollila and her family offer tourists reindeer experiences through their company Reindeer Journey. Visitors can get close to the animals in the wild or at their farm, watching them being trained to pull sledges (雪橇) or take a sleigh ride. “Reindeer are very smart animals, ” Ollila says. “They have different personalities, and some are very funny. ” One of her favourites is Rocky, named after the movie boxing legend. “He’s very curious and always in trouble, ” she says. “He once got himself stuck in tree branches and had to be lifted out, and he has been known to walk off with his owners’ drying underwear. ” Ollila gave up her job as a sociology researcher at the University of Lapland in 2010 to devote herself to raising reindeer. “I love the environment, the animals and the freedom, ” she says. “Also, I have a sense of belonging to something bigger than me, to a way of life through the generations. ” 24. What does the underlined word “endure” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Go away with. B. Put up with. C. Look forward to. D. Catch up with. 25. Why do the reindeer move into the forest in winter according to the text? A. To protect themselves. B. To find their owners. C. To get earmarked. D. To avoid cold temperatures. 26. What does Ollila think of Rocky? A. He is afraid of his owner. B. He is a famous filmmaker. C. He is interested in planting trees. D. He is a troublemaker. 27. What can we infer about Ollila from the last paragraph? A. She has been a sociology researcher since 2010. B. She has long been tired of raising reindeer. C. She has a deep feeling for nature. D. She had no chance to receive a college education. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了 Anne Ollila 和她的家人饲养驯鹿的故事。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“At that time Ollila sleeps during the day and walks up to 20 kilometres a night through the forest, making the most of the cooler temperatures to do her work but having to(在那个时候，奥利拉白天睡觉，晚上在森林里步行20公里，利用最凉爽的温度来完成她的工作)”及画线词后文“large groups of insects along the way(一路上大群的昆虫)”以及but表示转折，可知奥利拉利用晚上来完成工作，但是要忍受大群的昆虫。故划线词的意思是“忍受”。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In deepest winter, there is little daylight. Many grasslands are frozen and the reindeer move into the forest for protection against wolves and golden eagles — the birds can kill an adult reindeer.(在深冬，几乎没有日光。许多草原都被冻结了，驯鹿为了躲避狼和金雕而进入森林——金雕可以杀死一只成年驯鹿)”可知，驯鹿在冬天进入森林是为了保护自己。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“One of her favourites is Rocky, named after the movie boxing legend. “He’s very curious and always in trouble, ” she says. “He once got himself stuck in tree branches and had to be lifted out, and he has been known to walk off with his owners’ drying underwear. ”(她最喜欢的一个是洛基，以电影拳击传奇人物的名字命名。“他很好奇，总是惹麻烦，”她说。“它曾经被困在树枝上，不得不被人抬出来，它还曾偷走主人正在晾晒的内衣。”)” 可知，Ollila认为Rocky总是闯祸。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ollila gave up her job as a sociology researcher at the University of Lapland in 2010 to devote herself to raising reindeer. “I love the environment, the animals and the freedom, ” she says. “Also, I have a sense of belonging to something bigger than me, to a way of life through the generations. ”(2010年，奥利拉放弃了拉普兰大学社会学研究员的工作，全身心地投入到驯鹿饲养中。“我喜欢这里的环境、动物和自由，”她说。“而且，我有一种归属感，属于比我更重要的东西，属于世代相传的生活方式。”)” 可推断，Ollila对大自然有着深厚的感情。故选C。 C Over the years, movies and books have used tornadoes to sweep their characters off to magical lands, to destroy entire cities, or to defeat a superhero’s dangerous super villain (恶棍) . All of these tornadoes have one thing in common: They are incredibly powerful. They can have wind speeds over 300 miles per hour (mph) , grow over a mile wide, and travel over 50 miles. They are incredibly dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. Scientists can’t go inside tornadoes, which means that they are extremely hard to research. As a result, we know surprisingly little about them. In order to tell how powerful a tornado is, scientists look at how much destruction it causes. Scientists then rank the tornado on the Enhanced Fujita Scale (级别) (EF-Scale) , which ranges from EF0 to EF5. For example, a tornado that only damages trees but doesn’t significantly damage buildings would be rated EF0 with wind speeds between 65 and 85 mph. A tornado that blows away buildings and tears up sidewalks, on the other hand, would be rated EF5 with wind speeds over 200 mph. The most powerful tornado in United States history occurred near Oklahoma City in 1999. It had wind speeds over 310 mph, the highest wind speed ever recorded on Earth. A tornado with wind speeds that high can not only pick up and throw automobiles, but also knock over trains and tear up roadways. Luckily for anyone living in an area that experiences the occasional tornadoes, they usually only last one to ten minutes. More powerful tornadoes can last over an hour in the right conditions, but they are very rare. If you find yourself experiencing a tornado, find a safe place inside, like an interior hall, basement or closet. Stay away from windows and heavy objects that could fall on you, and lie on your stomach with your hands protecting the back of your head. Having a tornado emergency plan is extremely important as tornadoes can appear very quickly. Make sure to listen to the radio or television to stay updated on serious weather patterns in your area. 28. Which of the following is probably the wind speed of an EF4 tornado? A. 200 mph. B. 85 mph. C. 65 mph. D. 310 mph. 29. What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 3? A. Oklahoma City had no trains in 1999. B. American cars need developing. C. Tornadoes can do great harm. D. The strongest tornado occurred in the UK. 30. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Tips to survive a tornado. B. How a tornado forms. C. What a tornado is. D. How to recognize a tornado. 31. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A guidebook to the USA. B. An article on natural disasters. C. A review of famous movies. D. An introduction to a historical book. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了龙卷风的相关知识，包括其强大的破坏力、研究难度、分级标准、历史记录以及遭遇龙卷风时的应对措施。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“For example, a tornado that only damages trees but doesn’t significantly damage buildings would be rated EF0 with wind speeds between 65 and 85 mph. A tornado that blows away buildings and tears up sidewalks, on the other hand, would be rated EF5 with wind speeds over 200 mph.(例如，一个仅损坏树木但对建筑物没有造成显著破坏的龙卷风，其风速在每小时65到85英里之间，会被评定为EF0级。另一方面，能够吹走建筑物并撕裂人行道的龙卷风将被评定为EF5级，风速超过200英里/小时)”可知，EF5级龙卷风的风速超过200英里/小时。由于EF4级龙卷风的风速应低于EF5级但高于EF0-EF3级，因此可以推断EF4级龙卷风的风速可能接近但低于200英里/小时，所以选项A（200 mph）最符合EF4级龙卷风的风速范围。故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The most powerful tornado in United States history occurred near Oklahoma City in1999. It had wind speeds over 310 mph, the highest wind speed ever recorded on Earth. A tornado with wind speeds that high can not only pick up and throw automobiles, but also knock over trains and tear up roadways.(美国历史上最强大的龙卷风发生在1999年的俄克拉荷马城附近。它的风速超过310英里/小时，是地球上记录到的最高风速。风速如此高的龙卷风不仅可以卷起并抛出汽车，还可以掀翻火车并撕裂道路)”可知，这个例子说明了龙卷风的巨大破坏力，能够卷起汽车、掀翻火车并撕裂道路。因此，我们可以从这个例子中学习到龙卷风能够造成巨大的伤害。故选C。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“If you find yourself experiencing a tornado, find a safe place inside, like an interior hall, basement or closet. Stay away from windows and heavy objects that could fall on you, and lie on your stomach with your hands protecting the back of your head.(如果你发现自己正在经历龙卷风，请找一个室内安全的地方，如内厅、地下室或壁橱。远离可能落在你身上的窗户和重物，并趴在地上，用手保护后脑勺)”可知，最后一段主要介绍了在遭遇龙卷风时如何保护自己的安全，包括寻找安全地点、远离危险物品以及采取正确的防护姿势等。因此，这段主要讲的是在龙卷风中生存的技巧。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文尤其根据第一段“All of these tornadoes have one thing in common: They can have wind speeds over 300 miles per hour (mph), grow over a mile wide, and travel over 50 miles. They are incredibly dangerous and should be avoided at all costs.(所有这些龙卷风都有一个共同点:它们的风速可以超过每小时300英里，生长宽度超过一英里，行进距离超过50英里。它们非常危险，应该不惜一切代价避免。)”可知，整篇文章主要介绍了龙卷风的相关知识，包括其特点、危害、研究难度以及应对措施等。这些内容更符合自然灾害类文章的特点，因此可以推断这篇文章最可能来源于一篇关于自然灾害的文章。故选B。 D When Adele released (发行) her 2011 single Someone Like You, this bittersweet song is popular with millions worldwide. More than a decade later, it remains one of her most popular songs. Her artistry, as well as that of many others who have mastered the art of making listeners feel moved with slow and emotional beats, has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss. Listening to favorite songs could also reduce people’s feelings of pain, according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research. And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences. “It doesn’t take the place of medicine when you have a headache, but music can help reduce your pain,” said Patrick Stroman, a professor at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. He didn’t join in the study. “Unlike other medications,” he noted, “there is no side effect or risk in listening to music (just keep the volume at a reasonable level).” The small study invited 63 young adults to bring one of their favorite songs. The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants. All the while, the researchers stuck a hot object — similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on the participants’ skin — to their left inner forearms. When rating their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing songs. With millions of songs available, one person’s favorite song is likely not the same as another. After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and moving songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes (主题). “It’s a very cool result,” said lead study author Darius Valevicius, a doctoral student of neurosciences at the University of Montreal. “I think it’s why I myself and probably many people choose to listen to bittersweet or even spiritual music.” 32. Why does the author mention Adele in the first paragraph? A. To reach a conclusion. B. To lead in the topic. C. To offer a suggestion. D. To provide the background. 33. What is Stroman’s attitude to the effect of listening to music? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unclear. D. Unconcerned. 34. What did the participants do in the new study? A. They reported their feelings of pain. B. They interviewed many musicians. C. They made various kinds of teacups. D. They picked out the music they don't like. 35. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. When Is the Best Time to Listen to Music? B. How Do You Create Popular Songs Quickly? C. The Best Way to Reduce Pain Might Be to Write Music D. Certain Types of Music Could Help You Feel Less Pain 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现——某些类型的音乐能够帮助你减轻痛苦。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When Adele released (发行) her 2011 single Someone Like You, this bittersweet song is popular with millions worldwide. More than a decade later, it remains one of her most popular songs. Her artistry, as well as that of many others who have mastered the art of making listeners feel moved with slow and emotional beats, has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss.(当阿黛尔在2011年发行单曲《Someone Like You》时，这首苦乐参半的歌曲受到了全球数百万人的欢迎。十多年后，这首歌仍然是她最受欢迎的歌曲之一。她的艺术，以及其他许多掌握了用缓慢而情绪化的节奏让听众感到感动的艺术的人，有一种管理心碎和失去的情感痛苦的方法。)”可推断，作者在第一段提到Adele是为了引出话题，说明她的音乐能够引起听众的情感共鸣，并引出音乐对减轻疼痛的研究。故选B项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““It doesn’t take the place of medicine when you have a headache, but music can help reduce your pain,” said Patrick Stroman, a professor at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. He didn’t join in the study. “Unlike other medications,” he noted, “there is no side effect or risk in listening to music (just keep the volume at a reasonable level).(当你头痛时，音乐不能代替药物，但音乐可以帮助减轻你的疼痛，”安大略省金斯敦皇后大学的教授帕特里克·斯特罗斯曼说。他没有参加这项研究。“与其他药物不同，”他指出，“听音乐没有副作用或风险(只需将音量保持在合理的水平)。”)”可知，Stroman对于听音乐减轻痛苦的效果持“肯定的”态度。故选B项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“When rating their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing songs.(在评价他们的体验时，与听不熟悉的放松歌曲相比，人们更有可能在听自己喜欢的歌曲时感到更少的痛苦)”可知，研究的参与者会在实验中报告他们对于痛苦的感受。故选A项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Listening to favorite songs could also reduce people’s feelings of pain, according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research. And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences.(根据发表在《疼痛研究前沿》杂志上的一项新研究，听喜欢的歌曲也可以减少人们的疼痛感。研究发现，最有效的止痛药是描述苦乐参半和情感经历的悲伤歌曲。)”可知，某些类型的音乐能够帮助你减轻痛苦。故短文的标题为“某些类型的音乐可以帮助你减轻疼痛”。故选D项。 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。 Is there a right or wrong way on how to view art? Whether we admit it or not, we’ve all had that moment of uncertainty while viewing art. However, that you’re not an expert doesn’t mean you can’t understand art. ____36____. Determine the basics When you first see an artwork, identify some basic information about it. Try to determine its medium (材料). If it’s a painting, see if you can figure out the type of paint used. ____37____. These observations can build a foundation for better understanding. ____38____ Artists are masters of drawing attention. They usually have a plan for how your vision should move across the artwork. Taking note of what you notice first is a useful way to begin your experience. For example, it is said that Renaissance artists would refer to their paintings as “machines”. Their intention was to allow viewers to move their eyes smoothly through the work of art with clarity (清晰) and balance. Do some homework You don’t need a background in art to appreciate it, but having some knowledge doesn’t hurt, either. If a work of art catches your attention, do a little research, read an exhibition’s catalogue (目录) or speak to the art team. ____39____. Feel the artwork ____40____. Is the artwork artful or dramatic? How does it affect your feelings? Do you feel sad, happy or angry? These questions require immediate reactions. They can be subjective, but they are worth considering, because art is about the artist communicating and expressing ideas. A. Notice your eye movements B. Spend some time with artists C. All these can deepen your appreciation D. Recognize your feelings as you first view the art E. You can also identify the artist and when it was created F.

Major Heat (Dashu), the 12th solar term of the year, begins this year on July 22 and ends on August 6. During Major Heat, most parts of China enter the ___56___ (hot) season of the year. In China, the 24 solar terms ___57___ (create) thousands of years ago to guide agricultural production. But solar term culture ___58___ (be) still useful today to guide people’s lives through special foods, cultural ceremonies and even healthy living tips. During Major Heat, the sunshine, high temperatures ___59___ heavy rainfalls are good for agricultural crops. But like Minor Heat (Xiaoshu), many natural disasters such as floods, ___60___ (drought) and typhoons also happen during Major Heat. Therefore, it’s important to harvest and plant in time ___61___ (avoid) damage caused by natural disasters. Grass jelly, Xiancaodong in Chinese, is made with a special grass ___62___ stems (茎) and leaves can be made into herb jelly after being dried in ___63___ sun. With the ___64___ (amaze) ability to reduce the summer heat, grass jelly is described in a ____65____ (popularly) saying in Guangdong province that goes, “Eating herb jelly in Major Heat will make you stay young like the immortals (神仙).” 【答案】56. hottest 57. were created 58. is 59. and 60. droughts 61. to avoid 62. whose 63. the 64. amazing 65. popular 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国传统节气大暑的气候特点、文化意义以及与之相关的传统习俗和健康小贴士。 【56题详解】 考查形容词最高级。句意：在大暑期间，中国大部分地区进入一年中最热的季节。根据空格前的the可知，此处用the+形容词最高级，表示在某个范围内“最……的”意思，再根据提示词可知，这里指的是一年中最热的季节。故填hottest。 【57题详解】 考查动词的时态与语态。句意：在中国，24节气是几千年前为指导农业生产而创造的。分析句子结构可知，the 24 solar terms与create之间存在被动关系，且根据时间状语thousands of years ago可知，此处需要使用一般过去时的被动语态。故填were created。 【58题详解】 考查动词的时态与主谓一致。句意：但节气文化今天仍然有用，通过特殊的食物，文化仪式，甚至健康的生活技巧来指导人们的生活。分析句子结构可知，solar term culture是本句的主语，故谓语动词用be动词的单数形式，且根据today可知，此处需要使用一般现在时。故填is。 【59题详解】 考查连词。句意：大暑时节阳光充足、高温和大量降雨有益于农作物的生长。根据句意可知，空格前后是并列关系，所以此处用and连接两个并列的事物。故填and。 【60题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：但就像小暑一样，许多自然灾害，如洪水、干旱和台风也会在大暑期间发生。根据前面的many natural disasters such as floods可知，此处需要填入复数形式，又因为drought是可数名词，所以用名词复数形式。故填droughts。 【61题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：因此，为了避免自然灾害造成的破坏，及时收获和种植非常重要。分析句子结构可知，此处不定式作目的状语，表示及时收获和种植的目的是“避免”自然灾害造成的损失。故填to avoid。 【62题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：草粿，中文里也叫仙草冻，是由一种特殊的草制成的，这种草的茎和叶在晒干后可以做成草本果冻。分析句式结构可知，此处是定语从句，修饰a special grass，由于定语从句中缺少定语，所以用关系代词whose来引导。故填whose。 【63题详解】 考查定冠词。句意：同上。由于sun是世界上独一无二的事物，所以用定冠词the。故填the。 【64题详解】 考查形容词。句意：由于草粿具有惊人的消暑能力，在广东省有一句流行的说法：“大暑吃仙草，活如神仙不会老。”分析句子成分可知，这里需要一个形容词来修饰名词ability，因为ability指物，所以用形容词amazing表示草本果冻的这种能力是“令人惊叹的”。故填amazing。 【65题详解】 考查词形转换。句意：同上。分析句式结构可知，此处需要一个形容词来修饰后面的名词saying，所以此处用提示词的形容词形式popular表示一个“流行的”谚语。故填popular。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华, 你的英语老师要求你们在下周的英语课上分享一次自己的幽默经历。请你准备一份发言稿, 内容包括: 1. 讲述你的幽默故事; 2. 描述你的感受。 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。 Hello everyone! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Hello, everyone!

He was frustrated with his parents blaming him for every little thing he did at home. While waiting for the interview, he was thinking, “Only if I succeed in today’s interview will I say goodbye to my parents’ house and settle down in the big city, which will let me avoid having to listen to my parents’ complaints about little things all the time.” He started thinking about little things his parents used to blame him for— How his mother asked him to make his bed after he woke up. If he left the bathroom door open, his mother would ask him to close the door and before that check if the tap was turned off properly. How his father asked him to switch off the fan or light switch before he left. How his mother always blamed him for not keeping things at the right places. While thinking about all these, he thought, “Why should I listen to their words? Why should I do all these? If I get a job, I will definitely leave their home.” When looking around, Max saw that there were many candidates (应试者) sitting in that office. He saw that the light in the office was still on and it was ten o’clock in the morning. Remembering his father’s words, he got up and switched off the light. When he saw that water was falling from the water cooler kept at the office, he went to turn off the tap properly. It was time to go up to the second floor for the interview, everyone went upstairs in turn. On the way up the stairs, a chair stood in the way, and the other candidates bypassed it, but Max removed it, set it aside, and walked to the second floor. Now, as Max waited outside, he saw the candidates in front of him keep going in and coming out immediately. After talking to these people, he learned that the interviewers didn’t ask them anything. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 It was Max’s turn to be interviewed. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the interview, Max reached home and hugged his parents. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version： It was Max’s turn to be interviewed. He went inside and passed his file to the interviewers. After looking at his file, an interviewer asked, “When are you joining?” A wave of surprise flooded into Max’s mind. Looking at his face, the interviewer said, “Today, in interviews, no one was asked anything. We noticed everyone came but no one switched off the tap or light except you. You have good values and habits. This is what we evaluate most.” After the interview, Max reached home and hugged his parents. He told them about the interview and the result. He apologized to them and thanked them. He said, “In my life, my degree has less value in comparison to the lessons I have learned from you because of your strict demand on small matters. Today, I come to know that not only education but good habits and values have their own importance if I want to succeed in life. A person who doesn’t have self-disciplines, no matter how smart he is, can’t succeed in his life.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了麦克斯在家里做的每一件小事都受到父母的责备，这使他很沮丧，但是却因为父母教导的一个小行为，通过了面试。让麦克斯明白了父母的苦心。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“轮到麦克斯接受面试了”可知，第一段可描写麦克斯通过面试，面试官说明原因。 ②由第二段首句内容“面试结束后，麦克斯回到家，拥抱了他的父母”可知，第二段可描写麦克斯明白了父母的苦心，道歉并感谢父母。 2.续写线索：麦克斯面试——麦克斯通过面试——得知原因——回家道歉——感谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①询问：ask/inquire ②道歉：apologize/make an apology ③看重：evaluate/value 情绪类 ①感谢：thank/show gratitude to ②聪明：smart/clever 【点睛】[高分句型1] We noticed everyone came but no one switched off the tap or light except you.

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Home to over 50 attractions, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is an animal-focused theme park with an emphasis on keeping rare animals. Here, you’ll find the tallest and fastest roller coaster (过山车) in the world, Montu, as well as the area’s largest zoo, with over 200 animal species. One of its newest coasters is the heart-stopping Iron Gwazi which ascends (上升) 206 feet in the air and reaches speeds of up to 76 miles per hour. Magic Kingdom Park This park set the standard for the Florida theme park industry we know today when it opened in 1971. Today, Magic Kingdom Park bridges the old with the new, inviting guests to relive the tales of childhood and enjoy beloved attractions, like Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s also the home of Disney World’s newest ride, TRON Lightcycle/ Run, an exciting roller coaster. Legoland Florida Themed with the brightly coloured bricks, Legoland Florida is the place for the next generation of excitement seekers, home to entry-level roller coasters and kid-friendly attractions. The park’s newest attractions include Pirate River Quest, a scenic boat ride through the former Cypress Garden. While the attractions may focus on younger guests, this is really a park for everyone. Universal Studios Florida Inspired by the greatest moments from entertainment history, Universal Studios Florida is a movie and television-themed park that began as an actual working studio. Several lands pay homage (致敬) to iconic sets, including San Francisco and New York.

B Finnish Lapland, in the far north of Europe, is home to some 180, 000 people and around 200, 000 reindeer (驯鹿) . The animals live wild but each one has an owner, identified by a mark on its ear. Anne Ollila, 50, one of 4, 000 such owners, works in the Finnish part of this region with her husband and two adult sons and their families. They farm the animals mainly for meat, but reindeer tourism has also become an important source of income. Ollila lives 80 kilometres inside the Arctic Circle, an hour from Lapland’s capital city, Rovaniemi, and seven kilometres from her nearest neighbour. Summer days — when the reindeer raisers earmark newborn reindeer—are long and in June the sun never sets. At that time Ollila sleeps during the day and walks up to 20 kilometres a night through the forest, making the most of the cooler temperatures to do her work but having to endure large groups of insects along the way. In deepest winter, there is little daylight. Many grasslands are frozen and the reindeer move into the forest for protection against wolves and golden eagles — the birds can kill an adult reindeer. Ollila and her family offer tourists reindeer experiences through their company Reindeer Journey. Visitors can get close to the animals in the wild or at their farm, watching them being trained to pull sledges (雪橇) or take a sleigh ride. “Reindeer are very smart animals, ” Ollila says. “They have different personalities, and some are very funny. ” One of her favourites is Rocky, named after the movie boxing legend. “He’s very curious and always in trouble, ” she says. “He once got himself stuck in tree branches and had to be lifted out, and he has been known to walk off with his owners’ drying underwear. ” Ollila gave up her job as a sociology researcher at the University of Lapland in 2010 to devote herself to raising reindeer. “I love the environment, the animals and the freedom, ” she says. “Also, I have a sense of belonging to something bigger than me, to a way of life through the generations. ” 24. What does the underlined word “endure” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Go away with. B. Put up with. C. Look forward to. D. Catch up with. 25. Why do the reindeer move into the forest in winter according to the text? A. To protect themselves. B. To find their owners. C. To get earmarked. D. To avoid cold temperatures. 26. What does Ollila think of Rocky? A. He is afraid of his owner. B. He is a famous filmmaker. C He is interested in planting trees. D. He is a troublemaker. 27. What can we infer about Ollila from the last paragraph? A. She has been a sociology researcher since 2010. B. She has long been tired of raising reindeer. C. She has a deep feeling for nature. D. She had no chance to receive a college education. C Over the years, movies and books have used tornadoes to sweep their characters off to magical lands, to destroy entire cities, or to defeat a superhero’s dangerous super villain (恶棍) . All of these tornadoes have one thing in common: They are incredibly powerful. They can have wind speeds over 300 miles per hour (mph) , grow over a mile wide, and travel over 50 miles. They are incredibly dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. Scientists can’t go inside tornadoes, which means that they are extremely hard to research. As a result, we know surprisingly little about them. In order to tell how powerful a tornado is, scientists look at how much destruction it causes. Scientists then rank the tornado on the Enhanced Fujita Scale (级别) (EF-Scale) , which ranges from EF0 to EF5. For example, a tornado that only damages trees but doesn’t significantly damage buildings would be rated EF0 with wind speeds between 65 and 85 mph. A tornado that blows away buildings and tears up sidewalks, on the other hand, would be rated EF5 with wind speeds over 200 mph. The most powerful tornado in United States history occurred near Oklahoma City in 1999. It had wind speeds over 310 mph, the highest wind speed ever recorded on Earth. A tornado with wind speeds that high can not only pick up and throw automobiles, but also knock over trains and tear up roadways. Luckily for anyone living in an area that experiences the occasional tornadoes, they usually only last one to ten minutes. More powerful tornadoes can last over an hour in the right conditions, but they are very rare. If you find yourself experiencing a tornado, find a safe place inside, like an interior hall, basement or closet. Stay away from windows and heavy objects that could fall on you, and lie on your stomach with your hands protecting the back of your head. Having a tornado emergency plan is extremely important as tornadoes can appear very quickly. Make sure to listen to the radio or television to stay updated on serious weather patterns in your area. 28. Which of the following is probably the wind speed of an EF4 tornado? A. 200 mph. B. 85 mph. C. 65 mph. D. 310 mph. 29. What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 3? A. Oklahoma City had no trains in 1999. B. American cars need developing. C. Tornadoes can do great harm. D. The strongest tornado occurred in the UK. 30. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Tips to survive a tornado. B. How a tornado forms. C. What a tornado is. D. How to recognize a tornado. 31. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A guidebook to the USA. B. An article on natural disasters. C. A review of famous movies. D. An introduction to a historical book. D When Adele released (发行) her 2011 single Someone Like You, this bittersweet song is popular with millions worldwide. More than a decade later, it remains one of her most popular songs. Her artistry, as well as that of many others who have mastered the art of making listeners feel moved with slow and emotional beats, has a way of managing the emotional pain of heartbreak and loss. Listening to favorite songs could also reduce people’s feelings of pain, according to a new study published in the journal Frontiers in Pain Research. And the most effective pain relievers were found to be sad songs detailing bittersweet and emotional experiences. “It doesn’t take the place of medicine when you have a headache, but music can help reduce your pain,” said Patrick Stroman, a professor at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. He didn’t join in the study. “Unlike other medications,” he noted, “there is no side effect or risk in listening to music (just keep the volume at a reasonable level).” The small study invited 63 young adults to bring one of their favorite songs. The researchers also had the young adults pick one of seven songs that the team considered relaxing and were unfamiliar to the study participants. All the while, the researchers stuck a hot object — similar to the pain of a boiling hot teacup on the participants’ skin — to their left inner forearms. When rating their experiences, people were more likely to report feeling less pain when listening to their favorite songs compared with hearing the unfamiliar relaxing songs. With millions of songs available, one person’s favorite song is likely not the same as another. After interviewing the participants about the song they brought and their rating of pain, the researchers found people who listened to bittersweet and moving songs felt less pain than when they listened to songs with calming or cheerful themes (主题). “It’s a very cool result,” said lead study author Darius Valevicius, a doctoral student of neurosciences at the University of Montreal. “I think it’s why I myself and probably many people choose to listen to bittersweet or even spiritual music.” 32. Why does the author mention Adele in the first paragraph? A. To reach a conclusion. B. To lead in the topic. C. To offer a suggestion. D. To provide the background. 33. What is Stroman’s attitude to the effect of listening to music? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unclear. D. Unconcerned. 34. What did the participants do in the new study? A. They reported their feelings of pain. B. They interviewed many musicians. C. They made various kinds of teacups. D. They picked out the music they don't like. 35. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. When Is the Best Time to Listen to Music? B. How Do You Create Popular Songs Quickly? C. The Best Way to Reduce Pain Might Be to Write Music D. Certain Types of Music Could Help You Feel Less Pain 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。 Is there a right or wrong way on how to view art?

He used to live with his parents. He was frustrated with his parents blaming him for every little thing he did at home. While waiting for the interview, he was thinking, “Only if I succeed in today’s interview will I say goodbye to my parents’ house and settle down in the big city, which will let me avoid having to listen to my parents’ complaints about little things all the time.” He started thinking about little things his parents used to blame him for— How his mother asked him to make his bed after he woke up. If he left the bathroom door open, his mother would ask him to close the door and before that check if the tap was turned off properly. How his father asked him to switch off the fan or light switch before he left. How his mother always blamed him for not keeping things at the right places. While thinking about all these, he thought, “Why should I listen to their words? Why should I do all these? If I get a job, I will definitely leave their home.” When looking around, Max saw that there were many candidates (应试者) sitting in that office. He saw that the light in the office was still on and it was ten o’clock in the morning. Remembering his father’s words, he got up and switched off the light. When he saw that water was falling from the water cooler kept at the office, he went to turn off the tap properly. It was time to go up to the second floor for the interview, everyone went upstairs in turn. On the way up the stairs, a chair stood in the way, and the other candidates bypassed it, but Max removed it, set it aside, and walked to the second floor. Now, as Max waited outside, he saw the candidates in front of him keep going in and coming out immediately. After talking to these people, he learned that the interviewers didn’t ask them anything. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 It was Max’s turn to be interviewed. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the interview, Max reached home and hugged his parents. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
