But when we move the page down a little further, Ailbhe and Izzy’s pictures pop off the page, with their eye-catching colors and bright rainbow patterns, which is entirely in line with their company belief “If you can’t stand up, stand out.” The fashionable sisters took the world by storm with their personalized wheelchair decorations. Ailbhe, now 25, was four years old when she became a big sister to Izzy. Although Izzy was born disabled and couldn’t move from the waist down, her courage and energy deeply impressed Ailbhe and the two sisters developed a lifelong friendship. They spent hours as children decorating Izzy’s wheelchairs and her other mobility devices. So when Ailbhe graduated from the National College of Art and had to complete a final year project, she knew what to choose-dress up a wheelchair’s wheels! Ailbhe said, “The wheelchair itself didn’t show Izzy’s attitudes to life, or her energetic personality. It was ugly and made you lose confidence. I thought there might be a way of bridging that gap.” Ailbhe’s project was extremely well received at her school’s design show. Izzy loved the new wheels as well. A state organization helped the sisters work with fashion designers and get their business to take off. The next step for the sisters was partnering with big companies which were interested in representing people with disabilities. They turned to Disney. After all, this cooperation would involve one of their favorite activities-watching Disney movies! Besides, Disney was willing to donate 10% of profits to a charity that helps disabled children. In addition, the company promised to realize the dreams of children with disabilities. The sisters are excited for their creativity to make life in a wheelchair more fashionable, fun and personalized. 4. What helped the sisters win the EU prize? A. The fashionable company. B. The eye-catching pictures. C. Their colorful business suits. D. Their decorated wheelchairs. 5. What inspired Ailbhe to choose her final year project? A. Her duty to be an elder sister. B. Her desire to show a real Izzy. C. Her pity for Izzy’s disability. D. Her admiration for great women. 6. Why did Ailbhe and Izzy choose to work with Disney? A. To earn money. B. To make movies. C. To help disabled kids. D. To become designers. 7. What can we learn from Ailbhe and Izzy? A. Nothing can prevent a determined heart. B. Creativity makes the disabled stand out. C. Every advantage has its disadvantage. D. Technology brings people together. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要讲述艾比（Ailbhe）和伊兹（Izzy）两姐妹赢得欧盟女性创新者奖的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“On the website of the EU Prize for Women Innovators, there are dozens of inspiring stories of female leaders alongside pictures of these professional-looking women wearing single color business suits. But when we move the page down a little further, Ailbhe and Izzy’s pictures pop off the page, with their eye-catching colors and bright rainbow patterns, which is entirely in line with their company belief “If you can’t stand up, stand out.” The fashionable sisters took the world by storm with their personalized wheelchair decorations. (在欧盟女性创新者奖的网站上，除了这些穿着单色商务服的职业女性的照片外，还有数十个女性领导人的鼓舞人心的故事。但当我们将页面向下移动一点时，Ailbhe和Izzy的照片从页面上弹出，其醒目的颜色和明亮的彩虹图案，这完全符合他们公司的信念“如果你站不起来，就站出来。”这对时尚的姐妹带着个性化的轮椅装饰席卷了世界。)”可知，这对姐妹赢得欧盟女性创新者奖是因为她们个性化的轮椅装饰。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“So when Ailbhe graduated from the National College of Art and had to complete a final year project, she knew what to choose-dress up a wheelchair’s wheels! Ailbhe said, “The wheelchair itself didn’t show Izzy’s attitudes to life, or her energetic personality. It was ugly and made you lose confidence. I thought there might be a way of bridging that gap.”(所以，当艾比从国立艺术学院毕业，必须完成最后一年的项目时，她知道该选择什么——装扮轮椅的轮子！艾比说：“轮椅本身并没有表现出伊兹对生活的态度，也没有表现出她充满活力的性格。它很难看，让你失去了信心。我想也许有办法弥补这种差距。”)”可知，启发Ailbhe选择她最后一年的项目的是她想要通过装饰轮椅来展示真正的Izzy。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The next step for the sisters was partnering with big companies which were interested in representing people with disabilities. They turned to Disney. After all, this cooperation would involve one of their favorite activities-watching Disney movies! Besides, Disney was willing to donate 10% of profits to a charity that helps disabled children. In addition, the company promised to realize the dreams of children with disabilities. (姐妹俩的下一步是与有兴趣代表残疾人的大公司合作。他们转向迪斯尼。毕竟，这次合作将涉及他们最喜欢的活动之一，观看迪斯尼电影！此外，迪斯尼愿意将10%的利润捐给一家帮助残疾儿童的慈善机构。此外，该公司承诺实现残疾儿童的梦想。)”可知，姐妹俩与迪斯尼公司合作，是因为他们可以帮助残疾人。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The sisters are excited for their creativity to make life in a wheelchair more fashionable, fun and personalized. (姐妹俩为自己的创造力感到兴奋，他们希望轮椅上的生活更时尚、更有趣、更个性化。)”可知，Ailbhe和Izzy姐妹俩的故事告诉我们，创造力可以让我们很出色。故选B。 C How did the ant steal the lion’s dinner? This isn’t the beginning of one of Aesop’s Fables. It’s the finding of a new study about ants and lions. The whistling-thorn tree is a common sight on the plains of the east African grassland. Each tree is home to native acacia ants, which shelter inside the spines and drink juice from the tree. In return, when an elephant tries to eat the tree, ants climb up inside its nose and bite from the inside out. This has allowed the trees and the ants to grow well. The big-headed ants arrived in this area between 2002 and 2005. They kill local acacia ants wherever they find them, robbing local whistling-thorn trees of their brave defenders against hungry elephants. Without ants to bite them, the elephants tear up the thorn trees, opening up the grassland, which makes it harder for lions to catch their preferred zebra meals. In the new study, wildlife ecologist Jake Goheen and his colleagues could have used drones or satellite images to study tree cover, but “we don’t have that kind of money,” Goheen says. Instead, the researchers tracked their collared lions, and then got down on hands and knees near the lions’ recent kills, using a range finder to measure the openness of the area. Areas with big-headed ants, the team showed, had 2.67 times higher visibility than areas without — meaning that lions could see farther, but so could their prey. Over the three years of the study, zebra dinners decreased from 67 percent to 42 percent of lion kills. But the lions didn’t go hungry. Instead, they went for beef. Buffalo kills increased from zero to 42 percent of kills over the study period. “It’s a risky diet,” Goheen says. “Buffalo are big and feisty, and lions hunting buffalo are more likely to be injured.” “The study shows that the disruption (干扰) can have serious effects on other species in the community,” says Goheen. “Those effects can be unexpected and indirect. Changes could also have an impact on food webs in other ecosystems.” 8. What is the relationship between acacia ants and whistling-thorn trees like? A. Independent. B. Inharmonious. C. Competitive. D. Win-win. 9. What do we know about the study in paragraph 4? A. It is worthy but indirect. B. It is specific but unreliable. C. It is demanding but economical. D. It is expensive but effective. 10. What does the underlined word “feisty” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Stable. B. Wild. C. Exceptional. D. Inactive. 11. What phenomenon does Goheen describe in the last paragraph? A. The butterfly effect. B. The greenhouse effect. C. The bystander effect. D. The observer effect. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项关于蚂蚁和狮子之间关系的新研究发现，即外来大头蚁的入侵对当地生态造成了影响，最后使得狮子改变了捕猎对象。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Each tree is home to native acacia ants, which shelter inside the spines and drink juice from the tree. In return, when an elephant tries to eat the tree, ants climb up inside its nose and bite from the inside out. This has allowed the trees and the ants to grow well. (每棵树都是本地金合欢蚂蚁的家园，它们躲在刺里，喝树上的汁水。作为回报，当大象试图吃这棵树时，蚂蚁就会爬到大象的鼻子里，从里面往外咬。这使得树木和蚂蚁长得很好)”可知，金合欢蚁和刺槐的关系是双赢的。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In the new study, wildlife ecologist Jake Goheen and his colleagues could have used drones or satellite images to study tree cover, but “we don’t have that kind of money,” Goheen says. Instead, the researchers tracked their collared lions, and then got down on hands and knees near the lions’ recent kills, using a range finder to measure the openness of the area. Areas with big-headed ants, the team showed, had 2.67 times higher visibility than areas without — meaning that lions could see farther, but so could their prey. (在这项新研究中，野生动物生态学家Jake Goheen和他的同事本可以使用无人机或卫星图像来研究树木覆盖，但Goheen说：“我们没有那么多钱。”取而代之的是，研究人员追踪他们戴项圈的狮子，然后在狮子最近杀死的猎物附近蹲下，用测距仪测量该区域的开放程度。研究小组发现，有大头蚂蚁的地区的能见度是没有大头蚂蚁地区的2.67倍，这意味着狮子可以看得更远，但它们的猎物也可以)”可知，研究人员通过追踪有项圈的狮子等经济的方式进行研究，虽然有难度但经济实惠，即研究要求很高，但很经济。故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“and lions hunting buffalo are more likely to be injured (狮子捕猎水牛更容易受伤)”可知，狮子捕猎水牛更容易受伤，说明水牛比狮子更加凶猛。故划线词意思是“凶猛的”。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““The study shows that the disruption can have serious effects on other species in the community,” says Goheen. “Those effects can be unexpected and indirect. Changes could also have an impact on food webs in other ecosystems.” (“研究表明，这种破坏会对群落中的其他物种产生严重影响，”Goheen说。“这些影响可能是意想不到的和间接的。变化也可能对其他生态系统的食物网产生影响”)”可知，干扰对生态系统中的其他物种有严重、意外和间接的影响，属于蝴蝶效应。故选A。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 The latest assessments of the health effects of coffee and caffeine (咖啡因), its main active ingredient, are comforting indeed. ___12___ They include Parkinson’s disease, heart disease, depression and all sorts of cancers. ___13___ They showed consuming four or five eight-ounce cups of coffee a day has been associated with reduced death rates. In a study of more than 200,000 participants followed for up to 30 years, those who drank three to five cups of coffee a day, with or without caffeine, were 15 percent less likely to die early from all causes than the people who avoided coffee. Perhaps most dramatic was a 50 percent reduction in the risk of suicide among both men and women who were moderate coffee drinkers, perhaps by boosting production of brain chemicals. ___14___ A report was published last summer by a research team at the Harvard Hool of Public Health. It concluded that although current evidence may not guarantee recommending coffee or caffeine to prevent disease, for most people drinking coffee in moderation “can be part of a healthy lifestyle.” ___15___ In the past, there were occasional warnings about coffee being a health risk. Over the years, coffee’s been considered a cause of conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and premature death. Actually these concerns may have been unfounded and exaggerated. ___16___ However, despite various concerns that have turned up over the years, coffee is remarkably safe and has a number of important potential benefits. A. It is considered as a health risk. B. However it wasn’t always this way. C. They have the effects of anti-depression. D. They have given the public a very abnormal view. E. Therefore, more research is needed to confirm these findings. F. In fact, there are many studies conducted throughout the world. G. Their consumption has been linked to a reduced risk of diseases. 【答案】12. G 13. F 14. C 15. B 16. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了对咖啡及其主要成分咖啡因对健康的最新评估结果，说明了适量饮用咖啡可以作为健康生活方式的一部分，并指出过去对咖啡的健康担忧可能是没有根据且被夸大的。 【12题详解】 上文“The latest assessments of the health effects of coffee and caffeine (咖啡因), its main active ingredient, are comforting indeed.(对咖啡及其主要成分咖啡因对健康的最新评估结果确实令人欣慰)”说明咖啡和咖啡因对健康的评估结果是积极的。G选项“Their consumption has been linked to a reduced risk of diseases.(它们的摄入与降低患病风险有关)”承接上文，具体说明了咖啡和咖啡因的积极影响，即它们的摄入与降低患病风险有关，与上文语意连贯。故选G项。 【13题详解】 下文“They showed consuming four or five eight-ounce cups of coffee a day has been associated with reduced death rates. In a study of more than 200,000 participants followed for up to 30 years, those who drank three to five cups of coffee a day, with or without caffeine, were 15 percent less likely to die early from all causes than the people who avoided coffee.(研究表明，每天喝4到5杯8盎司的咖啡与降低死亡率有关。在一项对20多万参与者长达30年的跟踪研究中，那些每天喝三到五杯咖啡的人，无论是否含有咖啡因，因各种原因早死的可能性比不喝咖啡的人低15%)”介绍了对咖啡的相关研究及其结果。F选项“In fact, there are many studies conducted throughout the world.(事实上，世界各地都进行了许多研究)”引出下文对研究结果的介绍，句中“many studies”与下文代词“They”相照应，上下文语意连贯。故选F项。 【14题详解】 上文“Perhaps most dramatic was a 50 percent reduction in the risk of suicide among both men and women who were moderate coffee drinkers, perhaps by boosting production of brain chemicals.(也许最引人注目的是，适量饮用咖啡的男性和女性自杀风险降低了50%，这可能是通过促进大脑化学物质的产生来实现的)”介绍了适量饮用咖啡对降低自杀风险的积极影响。C选项“They have the effects of anti-depression.(它们有抗抑郁的作用)”承接上文，进一步解释了咖啡可能通过其抗抑郁作用来降低自杀风险，与上文语意紧密相关。故选C项。 【15题详解】 上文“It concluded that although current evidence may not guarantee recommending coffee or caffeine to prevent disease, for most people drinking coffee in moderation ‘can be part of a healthy lifestyle.’(它的结论是，尽管目前的证据可能不足以推荐饮用咖啡或咖啡因来预防疾病，但对大多数人来说，适量饮用咖啡‘可以成为健康生活方式的一部分’)”是对咖啡和咖啡因健康评估的总结，指出适量饮用咖啡可以成为健康生活方式的一部分。B选项“However, it wasn’t always this way.(然而，情况并非总是如此)”引出下文对过去咖啡被视为健康风险的描述，与上文形成对比，说明人们对咖啡的看法发生了变化。故选B项。 【16题详解】 上文“Actually, these concerns may have been unfounded and exaggerated.(实际上，这些担忧可能是没有根据且被夸大的)”指出过去对咖啡的健康担忧可能是错误的。D选项“They have given the public a very abnormal view.(他们给了公众一个非常不正常的看法)”承接上文，进一步说明这些担忧带来的影响，并为下文“However, despite various concerns that have turned up over the years, coffee is remarkably safe and has a number of important potential benefits.(然而，尽管多年来出现了各种担忧，但咖啡实际上是非常安全的，并具有许多重要的潜在益处)”的转折做了铺垫。故选D项。 第三节（共12小题，37 ~ 40每小题0.5分，41 ~ 48每小题1分, 满分10分） The Search for the Northwest Passage For hundreds of years, the search for a convenient route by water across the North American continent, from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west, inspired explorers and sailors. This was the fabled Northwest Passage. The main reason for seeking this route was that it would provide a shortcut from Europe to the established markets of Asia, especially China and Indonesia. From the fifteenth century until the Suez and Panama Canals were built many centuries later, the only way for a ship to travel from, for example, Spain to the Philippines, was via Cape Horn against ferocious winds and dangerous currents, or via the longer and still more risky Cape of Good Hope. Either way, it was a long and perilous journey. Between the early fifteenth century and the early twentieth century, when the Northwest Passage was finally traversed entirely by sea, there were many theories regarding where such a route might be. Some believed there might be a continuous waterway across the American continent, between what is now California in the west and the Great Lakes and Saint Lawrence Seaway in the east. Others believed it would be far north, above Alaska and the normally frozen Northern Canada. To locate this fabled route, expeditions set out from the eastern Atlantic and the western Pacific coasts. The earliest journeys from the eastern coast into the wilderness of Northeast Canada were undertaken by Greenland Vikings before the thirteenth century. Further journeys of discovery were not made in earnest until the fifteenth century, the first of which was led by Englishman John Cabot in 1497, followed by three voyages starting from 1576 led by Cabot’s fellow countryman, Martin Frobisher, after whom Frobisher Bay is named. During the following three centuries, further expeditions set out, several of which suffered great hardship due to their ships being frozen in the ice as winter set in. The most famous of these was another Englishman’s expedition, that of Sir John Franklin’s, whose ship disappeared without a trace in 1846. This led to over 25 search parties, resulting in further exploration. However, they initially had no success pushing beyond the bays and changing channels of Eastern Canada. At the same time as English exploration was taking place in the east, on the western coast Spanish seamen were attempting to find a route from west to east. In 1539, 60 years before Frobisher’s epic journeys, a Spaniard, Francisco de Ulloa, explored California and his exploits created the myth of a passage across the continent from California. Further exploration from Spain continued for the next two centuries. During this time, Russia became involved in exploration further north, with Vitus Bering, a Dane working for Russia, locating and naming the Bering Strait, the waterway between Russia and Alaska. The most famous of the Western navigators was Englishman Captain James Cook, who, in 1778, attempted to find the passage for a prize of £20,000 offered by the British Admiralty. Neither he nor other navigators who followed him, including compatriot George Vancouver, discovered any sign of a river that would lead eastwards, rather, they were blocked by glaciers close to the coast. They concluded that there was no passage south of the Bering Strait. Perhaps the most impressive journey was the one that finally achieved success. In the search for Franklin, Commander Robert McClure’s expedition engaged in a remarkable journey between 1850 and 1854. His ship HMS Investigator sailed first around Cape Horn and then, after heading north, found a route from west to east through the Bering Strait and across Northern Canada. During this time his ship was trapped in ice for three winters and his crew, despite nearly dying of starvation, completed the journey across the ice in sleds, before being picked up by another ship. However, the Northwest Passage was not traversed entirely by sea until 1906 when Roald Amundsen, the great polar explorer (who was also the first to reach the South Pole), finally achieved this feat by taking the east-west route. The first successful fully marine west-east crossing was completed in 1942 by a Royal Canadian Mounted Police crew in their plucky Arctic workhorse, the converted schooner St Roch, which later made the return trip. Many other vessels have since made the voyage, including as late as 2008, the first commercial crossing.

This was the fabled Northwest Passage. The main reason for seeking this route was that it would provide a shortcut from Europe to the established markets of Asia, especially China and Indonesia. (数百年来，人们一直在寻找一条横跨北美大陆、东起大西洋、西至太平洋的便捷水路，这激励着探险家和水手。这就是传说中的西北航道。寻求这条路线的主要原因是，它将提供一条从欧洲到亚洲成熟市场的捷径，特别是中国和印度尼西亚)”可知，寻求西北航道的主要原因是提供一条从欧洲到亚洲成熟市场的捷径，这意味着与亚洲的贸易已经开始了，所给陈述与文章中的信息相矛盾。故选B项。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Between the early fifteenth century and the early twentieth century, when the Northwest Passage was finally traversed entirely by sea, there were many theories regarding where such a route might be. Some believed there might be a continuous waterway across the American continent, between what is now California in the west and the Great Lakes and Saint Lawrence Seaway in the east. Others believed it would be far north, above Alaska and the normally frozen Northern Canada. (在15世纪早期到西北航道最终完全由海洋穿越20世纪早期之间，关于这条路线可能在哪里有很多理论。一些人认为，可能会有一条连续的水道横跨美洲大陆，从现在的加利福尼亚西部到五大湖和东部的圣劳伦斯海道。其他人则认为它会在遥远的北方，在阿拉斯加和常年冰冻的加拿大北部之上)”可知，关于这条路线的理论并不仅仅集中在东海岸，所给陈述与文章中的信息相矛盾。故选B项。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The most famous of these was another Englishman’s expedition, that of Sir John Franklin’s, whose ship disappeared without a trace in 1846. This led to over 25 search parties, resulting in further exploration. However, they initially had no success pushing beyond the bays and changing channels of Eastern Canada. (其中最著名的是另一个英国人的探险队，John Franklin爵士的探险队，他的船在1846年消失得无影无踪。这引来超过25个搜救队，导致了进一步的探索。然而，他们最初并没有成功地突破加拿大东部的海湾和千变万化的海峡)”可知，起初寻找John Franklin爵士探险队的人被限制在加拿大东部，所给陈述与文章中的信息一致。故选A项。 【20题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“At the same time as English exploration was taking place in the east, on the western coast Spanish seamen were attempting to find a route from west to east. In 1539, 60 years before Frobisher’s epic journeys, a Spaniard, Francisco de Ulloa, explored California and his exploits created the myth of a passage across the continent from California. Further exploration from Spain continued for the next two centuries. (就在英国人在东部进行探险的同时，在西海岸，西班牙海员正试图找到一条从西向东的路线。1539年，也就是Frobisher史诗般的旅程的60年前，一位名叫Francisco de Ulloa的西班牙人探索了加利福尼亚，他的功绩创造了从加利福尼亚穿越大陆的神话。在接下来的两个世纪里，来自西班牙的进一步探索仍在继续)”可知，欧洲国家西班牙错误地认为有一条从加利福尼亚向东的海上通道，在长达两个世纪的时间里一直在探索，所给陈述与文章中的信息一致。故选A项。 【21题详解】 (1) 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The earliest journeys from the eastern coast into the wilderness of Northeast Canada were undertaken by Greenland Vikings before the thirteenth century. Further journeys of discovery were not made in earnest until the fifteenth century, the first of which was led by Englishman John Cabot in 1497, followed by three voyages starting from 1576 led by Cabot’s fellow countryman, Martin Frobisher, after whom Frobisher Bay is named. (最早从东海岸到加拿大东北部荒野的旅行是由格陵兰维京人在13世纪之前进行的。直到15世纪，人们才真正开始了进一步的发现之旅，第一次是由英国人John Cabot于1497年领导的，随后从1576年开始，Cabot的同胞Martin Frobisher领导了三次航行，弗罗比舍湾就是以他的名字命名的)”可知，英国人Martin Frobisher由东向西航行，弗罗比舍湾就是以他的名字命名的。故选A项。 (2) 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The first successful fully marine west-east crossing was completed in 1942 by a Royal Canadian Mounted Police crew in their plucky Arctic workhorse, the converted schooner St Roch, which later made the return trip. (1942年，一批加拿大皇家骑警驾驶着他们大胆的北极运输工具——经过改装的St Roch纵帆船，第一次成功实现了在海上西向东穿越，并完成了返程)”可知，加拿大皇家骑警用改装的本地工作船成功实现了双向穿越。故选D项。 (3) 细节理解题。根据第五段中“The most famous of the Western navigators was Englishman Captain James Cook, who, in 1778, attempted to find the passage for a prize of £20,000 offered by the British Admiralty. Neither he nor other navigators who followed him, including compatriot George Vancouver, discovered any sign of a river that would lead eastwards, rather, they were blocked by glaciers close to the coast. (西方最著名的航海家是英国船长James Cook。1778年，他试图为英国海军部提供的2万英镑奖金找到这条航道。他和其他跟随他的航海家，包括他的同胞George Vancouver，都没有发现任何通向东方的河流的迹象，相反，他们被靠近海岸的冰川挡住了)”可知，著名航海家James Cook为了奖赏尝试自西向东找到航道。故选B项。 (4) 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“However, the Northwest Passage was not traversed entirely by sea until 1906 when Roald Amundsen, the great polar explorer (who was also the first to reach the South Pole), finally achieved this feat by taking the east-west route. (然而，直到1906年，伟大的极地探险家Roald Amundsen，也是第一个到达南极点的人，终于通过东西向的路线完成了这一壮举，西北航道才完全由海上穿越)”可知，探险家Roald Amundsen不仅成功到达南极点，而且成功完成了单向的穿越。故选C项。 (5) 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The most famous of these was another Englishman’s expedition, that of Sir John Franklin’s, whose ship disappeared without a trace in 1846. This led to over 25 search parties, resulting in further exploration. However, they initially had no success pushing beyond the bays and changing channels of Eastern Canada. (其中最著名的是另一个英国人的探险队，John Franklin爵士的探险队，他的船在1846年消失得无影无踪。这引来超过25个搜救队，导致了进一步的探索。然而，他们最初并没有成功地突破加拿大东部的海湾和千变万化的海峡)”可知，John Franklin爵士尝试自东向西找到航道，但却神秘地消失了。故选A项。 【22题详解】 (1) 细节理解题。句意：与早期的航行相比，指挥官Robert McClure的探险队成功地发现了一条从西向东的路线。根据最后一段中“In the search for Franklin, Commander Robert McClure’s expedition engaged in a remarkable journey between 1850 and 1854. His ship HMS Investigator sailed first around Cape Horn and then, after heading north, found a route from west to east through the Bering Strait and across Northern Canada. (在寻找Franklin的过程中，指挥官Robert McClure尔的探险队在1850年到1854年间进行了一次非凡的旅行。他的船HMS“调查者号”首先绕过合恩角，然后向北航行，找到了一条从西向东穿过白令海峡并穿越加拿大北部的路线)”可知，该探险队成功地发现了一条从西向东的路线。故选D项。 (2) 细节理解题。句意：船被困了很长时间，船员们忍饥挨饿。根据最后一段中“During this time his ship was trapped in ice for three winters and his crew, despite nearly dying of starvation, completed the journey across the ice in sleds, before being picked up by another ship. (在这段时间里，他的船被困在冰里三个冬天，他的船员们尽管几乎饿死，但在被另一艘船救起之前，他们还是坐着雪橇完成了穿越冰的旅程)”可知，船员们忍饥挨饿。故选B项。 (3) 细节理解题。句意：McClure和他的队员们最终乘坐雪橇完成了这次探险。根据最后一段中“During this time his ship was trapped in ice for three winters and his crew, despite nearly dying of starvation, completed the journey across the ice in sleds, before being picked up by another ship. (在这段时间里，他的船被困在冰里三个冬天，他的船员们尽管几乎饿死，但在被另一艘船救起之前，他们还是坐着雪橇完成了穿越冰的旅程)”可知，他们最终乘坐雪橇完成了这次探险。故选A项。 第二部分 语言运用（共五节，满分55分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 After moving to New York City, I decided to ride a bike from Hudson Yards to Brooklyn.

B On the website of the EU Prize for Women Innovators, there are dozens of inspiring stories of female leaders alongside pictures of these professional-looking women wearing single color business suits. But when we move the page down a little further, Ailbhe and Izzy’s pictures pop off the page, with their eye-catching colors and bright rainbow patterns, which is entirely in line with their company belief “If you can’t stand up, stand out.” The fashionable sisters took the world by storm with their personalized wheelchair decorations. Ailbhe, now 25, was four years old when she became a big sister to Izzy. Although Izzy was born disabled and couldn’t move from the waist down, her courage and energy deeply impressed Ailbhe and the two sisters developed a lifelong friendship. They spent hours as children decorating Izzy’s wheelchairs and her other mobility devices. So when Ailbhe graduated from the National College of Art and had to complete a final year project, she knew what to choose-dress up a wheelchair’s wheels! Ailbhe said, “The wheelchair itself didn’t show Izzy’s attitudes to life, or her energetic personality. It was ugly and made you lose confidence. I thought there might be a way of bridging that gap.” Ailbhe’s project was extremely well received at her school’s design show. Izzy loved the new wheels as well. A state organization helped the sisters work with fashion designers and get their business to take off. The next step for the sisters was partnering with big companies which were interested in representing people with disabilities. They turned to Disney. After all, this cooperation would involve one of their favorite activities-watching Disney movies! Besides, Disney was willing to donate 10% of profits to a charity that helps disabled children. In addition, the company promised to realize the dreams of children with disabilities. The sisters are excited for their creativity to make life in a wheelchair more fashionable, fun and personalized. 4. What helped the sisters win the EU prize? A. The fashionable company. B. The eye-catching pictures. C. Their colorful business suits. D. Their decorated wheelchairs. 5. What inspired Ailbhe to choose her final year project? A. Her duty to be an elder sister. B. Her desire to show a real Izzy. C. Her pity for Izzy’s disability. D. Her admiration for great women. 6. Why did Ailbhe and Izzy choose to work with Disney? A. To earn money. B. To make movies. C. To help disabled kids. D. To become designers. 7. What can we learn from Ailbhe and Izzy? A. Nothing can prevent a determined heart. B. Creativity makes the disabled stand out. C Every advantage has its disadvantage. D. Technology brings people together. C How did the ant steal the lion’s dinner? This isn’t the beginning of one of Aesop’s Fables. It’s the finding of a new study about ants and lions. The whistling-thorn tree is a common sight on the plains of the east African grassland. Each tree is home to native acacia ants, which shelter inside the spines and drink juice from the tree. In return, when an elephant tries to eat the tree, ants climb up inside its nose and bite from the inside out. This has allowed the trees and the ants to grow well. The big-headed ants arrived in this area between 2002 and 2005. They kill local acacia ants wherever they find them, robbing local whistling-thorn trees of their brave defenders against hungry elephants. Without ants to bite them, the elephants tear up the thorn trees, opening up the grassland, which makes it harder for lions to catch their preferred zebra meals. In the new study, wildlife ecologist Jake Goheen and his colleagues could have used drones or satellite images to study tree cover, but “we don’t have that kind of money,” Goheen says. Instead, the researchers tracked their collared lions, and then got down on hands and knees near the lions’ recent kills, using a range finder to measure the openness of the area. Areas with big-headed ants, the team showed, had 2.67 times higher visibility than areas without — meaning that lions could see farther, but so could their prey. Over the three years of the study, zebra dinners decreased from 67 percent to 42 percent of lion kills. But the lions didn’t go hungry. Instead, they went for beef. Buffalo kills increased from zero to 42 percent of kills over the study period. “It’s a risky diet,” Goheen says. “Buffalo are big and feisty, and lions hunting buffalo are more likely to be injured.” “The study shows that the disruption (干扰) can have serious effects on other species in the community,” says Goheen. “Those effects can be unexpected and indirect. Changes could also have an impact on food webs in other ecosystems.” 8. What is the relationship between acacia ants and whistling-thorn trees like? A. Independent. B. Inharmonious. C. Competitive. D. Win-win. 9. What do we know about the study in paragraph 4? A. It is worthy but indirect. B. It is specific but unreliable. C. It is demanding but economical. D. It is expensive but effective. 10. What does the underlined word “feisty” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Stable. B. Wild. C. Exceptional. D. Inactive. 11. What phenomenon does Goheen describe in the last paragraph? A. The butterfly effect. B. The greenhouse effect. C. The bystander effect. D. The observer effect. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 The latest assessments of the health effects of coffee and caffeine (咖啡因), its main active ingredient, are comforting indeed. ___12___ They include Parkinson’s disease, heart disease, depression and all sorts of cancers. ___13___ They showed consuming four or five eight-ounce cups of coffee a day has been associated with reduced death rates. In a study of more than 200,000 participants followed for up to 30 years, those who drank three to five cups of coffee a day, with or without caffeine, were 15 percent less likely to die early from all causes than the people who avoided coffee. Perhaps most dramatic was a 50 percent reduction in the risk of suicide among both men and women who were moderate coffee drinkers, perhaps by boosting production of brain chemicals. ___14___ A report was published last summer by a research team at the Harvard Hool of Public Health. It concluded that although current evidence may not guarantee recommending coffee or caffeine to prevent disease, for most people drinking coffee in moderation “can be part of a healthy lifestyle.” ___15___ In the past, there were occasional warnings about coffee being a health risk. Over the years, coffee’s been considered a cause of conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and premature death. Actually, these concerns may have been unfounded and exaggerated. ___16___ However, despite various concerns that have turned up over the years, coffee is remarkably safe and has a number of important potential benefits. A. It is considered as a health risk. B. However, it wasn’t always this way. C. They have the effects of anti-depression. D. They have given the public a very abnormal view. E. Therefore, more research is needed to confirm these findings. F. In fact, there are many studies conducted throughout the world. G. Their consumption has been linked to a reduced risk of diseases. 第三节（共12小题，37 ~ 40每小题0.5分，41 ~ 48每小题1分, 满分10分） The Search for the Northwest Passage For hundreds of years, the search for a convenient route by water across the North American continent, from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west, inspired explorers and sailors. This was the fabled Northwest Passage. The main reason for seeking this route was that it would provide a shortcut from Europe to the established markets of Asia, especially China and Indonesia. From the fifteenth century until the Suez and Panama Canals were built many centuries later, the only way for a ship to travel from, for example, Spain to the Philippines, was via Cape Horn against ferocious winds and dangerous currents, or via the longer and still more risky Cape of Good Hope. Either way, it was a long and perilous journey. Between the early fifteenth century and the early twentieth century, when the Northwest Passage was finally traversed entirely by sea, there were many theories regarding where such a route might be. Some believed there might be a continuous waterway across the American continent, between what is now California in the west and the Great Lakes and Saint Lawrence Seaway in the east. Others believed it would be far north, above Alaska and the normally frozen Northern Canada. To locate this fabled route, expeditions set out from the eastern Atlantic and the western Pacific coasts. The earliest journeys from the eastern coast into the wilderness of Northeast Canada were undertaken by Greenland Vikings before the thirteenth century. Further journeys of discovery were not made in earnest until the fifteenth century the first of which was led by Englishman John Cabot in 1497, followed by three voyages starting from 1576 led by Cabot’s fellow countryman, Martin Frobisher, after whom Frobisher Bay is named. During the following three centuries, further expeditions set out, several of which suffered great hardship due to their ships being frozen in the ice as winter set in. The most famous of these was another Englishman’s expedition, that of Sir John Franklin’s, whose ship disappeared without a trace in 1846. This led to over 25 search parties, resulting in further exploration. However, they initially had no success pushing beyond the bays and changing channels of Eastern Canada. At the same time as English exploration was taking place in the east, on the western coast Spanish seamen were attempting to find a route from west to east. In 1539, 60 years before Frobisher’s epic journeys, a Spaniard, Francisco de Ulloa, explored California and his exploits created the myth of a passage across the continent from California. Further exploration from Spain continued for the next two centuries. During this time, Russia became involved in exploration further north, with Vitus Bering, a Dane working for Russia, locating and naming the Bering Strait, the waterway between Russia and Alaska. The most famous of the Western navigators was Englishman Captain James Cook, who, in 1778, attempted to find the passage for a prize of £20,000 offered by the British Admiralty. Neither he nor other navigators who followed him, including compatriot George Vancouver, discovered any sign of a river that would lead eastwards, rather, they were blocked by glaciers close to the coast. They concluded that there was no passage south of the Bering Strait. Perhaps the most impressive journey was the one that finally achieved success. In the search for Franklin, Commander Robert McClure’s expedition engaged in a remarkable journey between 1850 and 1854. His ship HMS Investigator sailed first around Cape Horn and then, after heading north, found a route from west to east through the Bering Strait and across Northern Canada. During this time his ship was trapped in ice for three winters and his crew, despite nearly dying of starvation, completed the journey across the ice in sleds, before being picked up by another ship. However, the Northwest Passage was not traversed entirely by sea until 1906 when Roald Amundsen, the great polar explorer (who was also the first to reach the South Pole), finally achieved this feat by taking the east-west route. The first successful fully marine west-east crossing was completed in 1942 by a Royal Canadian Mounted Police crew in their plucky Arctic workhorse, the converted schooner St Roch, which later made the return trip. Many other vessels have since made the voyage, including as late as 2008, the first commercial crossing.
