C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了作者在云南虎跳峡的徒步经历，描述了沿途的风景和挑战，强调了虽然路途艰难，但景色壮丽，值得付出努力。 【1题详解】 句意：这个地区确实是我们国家的自然瑰宝之一。 true真正的，真实的；truth真相，真理；truly真正地。句子结构完整，此处需要一个副词来修饰整个句子，truly“真正地”，符合语境。故选C。 【2题详解】 句意：然而，为了发现它真正的美，我在峡谷的北侧徒步旅行。 it它；its它的；they他们，她们，它们。修饰名词beauty，需用形容词性物主代词，这里指代“the gorge”，因此用its“它的”。故选B。 【3题详解】 句意：在这一点上，欣赏风景很容易。 enjoy欣赏，动词原形；enjoyed欣赏，过去式；to enjoy欣赏，不定式。“It is + 形容词 + to do sth.”是固定句型，意为“做某事是……的”，所以此处用动词不定式to enjoy。故选C。 【4题详解】 句意：然后，我到达了这次徒步旅行中可能最艰难的一段路。 hard努力地，困难的；harder更努力地，更难的；the hardest最努力地，最难的。根据下文“It ... ‘Twenty-Eight Bends (弯道)’. Lots of steep switchbacks (之字形路) snaked up the mountainside ...”，可知这里是在描述整个徒步旅行中最艰难的路段，应该用最高级形式。故选C。 【5题详解】 句意：它被称为“二十八道弯”。 will be called将被称为，一般将来时的被动语态；was called被称为，一般过去时被动语态；would call将会称呼，过去将来时的主动语态。根据上下文可知，这里描述的是过去的情况，It指代路段，和call之间是被动关系，所以应用一般过去时的被动语态，其结构是“was/were + 过去分词”，主语It是单数，所以用was called。故选B。 【6题详解】 句意：没有人确定这些弯道从哪里开始或在哪里结束。 where哪里；what什么；that那个，或引导从句。根据“No one was sure ... these bends started or ended.”可知，空格后面是宾语从句，由“started or ended”可知，此处表示不确定弯道的起始和结束地点，用where引导表示地点的宾语从句。故选A。 【7题详解】 句意：当徒步旅行者需要搭一程时，几个当地村民正带着他们的驴子在小路旁边等着。 wait等待，动词原形；are waiting正在等待，现在进行时；were waiting过去正在等待，过去进行时。根据“when a hiker needed a ride”可知，句子时态是一般过去时，且表示当时正在进行的动作，所以用过去进行时were waiting。故选C。 【8题详解】 句意：这天剩下的时间就比较轻松了。 a一，不定冠词表泛指，用在以辅音音素开头的单词前；an一，不定冠词表泛指，用在以元音音素开头的单词前；the定冠词，表特指。根据下文“Most people ended their first-day hike at a halfway guesthouse in the early evening, just in time for a beautiful sunset.”可知，这里的day是特指徒步旅行的第一天，所以用定冠词the。故选C。 【9题详解】 句意：我慢慢地穿过一片竹林，它通向一个小海滩。 to到，向；at在；in在……里面。lead to是固定短语，意为“通向”，所以此处用to。故选A。 【10题详解】 句意：这次徒步旅行很累，但是它值得花费时间和精力。 and和，并且；or或者；but但是。根据“The hike was tiring, ... it was worth the time and effort.”可知，前后两个分句结构完整，空格处缺少连词，前后之间是转折关系，所以用but连接。故选C。 Ⅲ. 完形填空。（每小题1.5分，共15分） 根据短文内容，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个能填入相应空格内的最佳答案。 Ted was a middle-aged businessman.

He spent his time singing and playing music all day long. One lovely spring day, the grasshopper was singing his favorite song with a guitar in his hands, when a little ant passed by. “Little ant, why don’t you come and sing along to my songs?” the grasshopper asked. “I must prepare for the winter, and so should you,” replied the ant. The grasshopper laughed. That sounded like too much work and quite boring. Besides, winter was such a long way away and he had plenty to eat at the moment. Summer and autumn came and went, and the grasshopper continued to laze about while the ant was busy working day and night. The ant reminded him to prepare for the winter but he turned a deaf ear. But winter came earlier than usual that year and the grasshopper became worried because he hadn’t made any preparations. He saw the ant was happy in his warm house with his food. But he was cold and running out of food. Nor did he have a place to live in. “The little ant was right!” he thought sadly. “I must not be so silly next year. I should have prepared earlier.” Luckily, the ant was glad to share food with him, but the grasshopper learned how important it is to work hard and be prepared. 24.

The ant reminded him to prepare for the winter but he turned a deaf ear.”可知，此外，冬天还远着呢，此刻他有足够的食物，夏天和秋天来了又去，蚂蚱继续游手好闲，而蚂蚁则日夜忙碌，即蚂蚁提醒他为过冬做准备，但他充耳不闻，可推测he turned a deaf ear表示“他充耳不闻”，C选项“他拒绝接受蚂蚁的建议”与其意思相符。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“But winter came earlier than usual that year and the grasshopper became worried because he hadn’t made any preparations...Luckily, the ant was glad to share food with him, but the grasshopper learned how important it is to work hard and be prepared.”可知，那年冬天提早到来了， 蚂蚱没有做任何准备，他看到蚂蚁在温暖的房子里吃着食物很开心，但是他很冷，食物也快吃完了，他也没有地方住，蚂蚱表示明年自己一定要向小蚂蚁一样提前做准备，蚂蚱知道了努力工作和做好准备的重要性，即蚂蚱从他的经历中学到了努力工作并做好准备很重要。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Summer and autumn came and went, and the grasshopper continued to laze about while the ant was busy working day and night. The ant reminded him to prepare for the winter but he turned a deaf ear...Luckily, the ant was glad to share food with him, but the grasshopper learned how important it is to work hard and be prepared.”可知，蚂蚁日夜忙碌，为冬天做准备，而蚂蚱没有做任何准备，在冬天，他很冷没地方住，食物也快吃完了，幸运的是，蚂蚁很高兴与他分享食物，可推测蚂蚁是勤劳并且善良的。故选B。 C Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is a wonderful place to visit. Every year, over one million people visit Hawai Volcanoes National Park. There are two of the world’s most amazing volcanoes (火山) in it. One is among the most active volcanoes on the earth, the other is one of the biggest mountains on the earth. Both of them are active volcanoes. Every day, on the island of Hawali, lava (熔岩) comes out slowly from a volcano on the edge (边缘) of the ocean. When the lava cools, it turns into rock and makes this island a little bigger. Visitors can see the land change before their eyes. There are many interesting things to do in the park. It has lava tubes (隧道) that go to the sea. They are so big that visitors can’ walk through them. You can drive along a volcano or walk more than 150 miles (241 km) of trails (路径). Biking along the volcano’s paths and camping in the rainforest are also good choices. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is home to wildlife. There are hundreds of protected animals, such as turtles, bats, insects, and many kinds of birds. The park also has many protected plants and trees. Almost all of its plants are found only in Hawail. Many plants have lived in and around the volcanoes for years. Enjoy—but watch your step! It’s almost impossible to know when a volcano will erupt (喷发). However, when the volcanoes possibly erupt, parts of the park close. This special park is never quiet for long. 28.

But can you imagine the two singing opera (歌剧) in English rather than speaking poetic Chinese? Jia and Lin are two characters from the Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions (《红楼 梦》), written by Cao Xueqin (1715—1763). Now the book has been made into an English-language opera. After being performed in San Francisco, the US, the performance came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan in 2017. Many of the opera’s creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures, including the director and playwrights (剧作家). Their understanding of both cultures helped them change a Chinese classic into a foreign-language opera. The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters. But opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Hwang, a Chinese-American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a tragedy (悲剧) that everyone would understand. The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign people understand the characters by using costumes (服装) and stage decorations. He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin showed up on stage, there was usually water around her on the stage. The creators considered the work of introducing a Chinese classic to Western audience was worth doing. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to “have made a contribution (贡献) to the land where my parents were born”. 32. What do we know about A Dream of Red Mansions from Paragraph 4? A. It is mainly about the rise and greatness of the Jia family. B. It tells a love story between Jia and Lin with a happy ending. C. The book is very long and there are many different characters. D. The book has always been made into an English-language opera. 33. Why did Timmy Yip compare Lin to water? A. Because of her dressing style. B. Because of her character. C. Because of her appearance. D. Because of her life habits. 34. What can we infer from the text? A. A Dream of Red Mansions is written by Cao Xueqin. B. Hwang’s parents were born in United States of America. C. The English-language opera was shown in four cities in China. D. Timmy Yip knows a lot about Chinese and American cultures. 35. What do the creators of the opera think of their job? A. Difficult and unbelievable. B. Stressful and difficult. C. Satisfying and meaningful. D. Painful and challenging. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国古典名著《红楼梦》被改编成歌剧。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters.”可知，《红楼梦》这部小说很长，有很多不同的人物。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign people understand the characters by using costumes (服装) and stage decorations.”可知，Timmy Yip试图通过服装和舞台装饰来帮助外国人理解这些角色，所以Timmy Yip把林黛玉比作水是因为她的性格，故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Many of the opera’s creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures, including the director and playwrights (剧作家).”可知，这部歌剧的许多创作者都有中美文化背景，包括导演和剧作家，由此推测，导演Timmy Yip对中国和美国文化都很了解。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The creators considered the work of introducing a Chinese classic to Western audience was worth doing. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to ‘have made a contribution (贡献) to the land where my parents were born’.”可知，创作者认为向西方观众介绍中国经典作品是值得的，Hwang表示很高兴能为父母的出生地做出贡献。由此推知，创作者认为他们的工作是令人满意且有意义的，故选C。 E ①Humans usually communicate with each other with words. However, sometimes our hands can also show people what we mean. The same thing happens to the apes (猿) as well. ②Apes have their own gestures (手势) to show what they mean. Chimpanzees and bonobos are two kinds of apes that are the closest to humans. In fact, they have up to 80 different gestures to express themselves. Though the two kinds of apes use different signs in some ways, they share over 90% of the same gestures. ③Two researchers wondered whether humans could understand the gestures of apes. They created a game for people to play online. People needed to watch short videos of apes making a gesture and then chose the correct meaning of the gesture out of four possible answers. ④The result surprised the researchers a lot. They found that those people could choose the correct meaning over 50% of the time. For some gestures, they could even choose the correct meaning about 80% of the time. One example was the gesture of wiping the mouth. People could guess it correctly by choosing “give me that food”. And “big loud scratch (抓挠)” means “help pick insects off me”. But how could this happen? ⑤ ▲ . One possibility is that the gestures came from our ancestors, which we shared with the apes. Another possibility is that the gestures are a natural result of having similar body shapes and communicating similar ideas. It’s also possible that the gestures simply look like the actions they are asking for. ⑥It’s necessary to carry out further research to study how humans can understand the gestures of apes. And scientists also wonder how humans understand other animals, like dogs. 36. The researchers create a game online in order to ________. A. see how many researchers understand the gestures of apes B. show why people could understand the gesture of apes C. know if people were able to understand the gesture of apes D. find out how apes make gestures and communicate with others 37. Which of the following sentence can be put in the ________? A. However, humans don’t really understand the gestures of apes. B. Humans and apes have different gestures most of the time. C. Scientists believe that humans have the natural ability to understand apes. D. It’s necessary for humans to learn some gestures from the apes. 38. The best title of the passage can be ________. A.

He walked alone to work every day and ate his lunch alone in a corner ... In the evening, he would read a newspaper and go to bed early.”以及第二段“One day when he got a heart-shaped box with a piece of paper in it, his life changed. It said, ‘Somebody loves you.’”可知，Mr. Hatch原本过着孤独的生活，在收到盒子之前他并不觉得被别人爱，所以他不是一直都觉得被别人爱。故填No, he didn’t. 【46题详解】 根据文章第二段“One day when he got a heart-shaped box with a piece of paper in it, his life changed. It said, ‘Somebody loves you.’”可知，是一个里面有写着“有人爱你”纸条的爱心盒子改变了他的生活。故填A heart-shaped box with a piece of paper saying “Somebody loves you.” 【47题详解】 根据文章第二段“Soon he found himself being cheerful.

B Once upon a time, there was a grasshopper (蚂蚱) who didn’t like to work. He spent his time singing and playing music all day long. One lovely spring day, the grasshopper was singing his favorite song with a guitar in his hands, when a little ant passed by. “Little ant, why don’t you come and sing along to my songs?” the grasshopper asked. “I must prepare for the winter, and so should you,” replied the ant. The grasshopper laughed. That sounded like too much work and quite boring. Besides, winter was such a long way away and he had plenty to eat at the moment. Summer and autumn came and went, and the grasshopper continued to laze about while the ant was busy working day and night. The ant reminded him to prepare for the winter but he turned a deaf ear. But winter came earlier than usual that year and the grasshopper became worried because he hadn’t made any preparations. He saw the ant was happy in his warm house with his food. But he was cold and running out of food. Nor did he have a place to live in. “The little ant was right!” he thought sadly. “I must not be so silly next year. I should have prepared earlier.” Luckily, the ant was glad to share food with him, but the grasshopper learned how important it is to work hard and be prepared. 24.

Every year, over one million people visit Hawai Volcanoes National Park. There are two of the world’s most amazing volcanoes (火山) in it. One is among the most active volcanoes on the earth, the other is one of the biggest mountains on the earth. Both of them are active volcanoes. Every day, on the island of Hawali, lava (熔岩) comes out slowly from a volcano on the edge (边缘) of the ocean. When the lava cools, it turns into rock and makes this island a little bigger. Visitors can see the land change before their eyes. There are many interesting things to do in the park. It has lava tubes (隧道) that go to the sea. They are so big that visitors can’ walk through them. You can drive along a volcano or walk more than 150 miles (241 km) of trails (路径). Biking along the volcano’s paths and camping in the rainforest are also good choices. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is home to wildlife. There are hundreds of protected animals, such as turtles, bats, insects, and many kinds of birds. The park also has many protected plants and trees. Almost all of its plants are found only in Hawail. Many plants have lived in and around the volcanoes for years. Enjoy—but watch your step! It’s almost impossible to know when a volcano will erupt (喷发). However, when the volcanoes possibly erupt, parts of the park close. This special park is never quiet for long. 28. In the park, visitors can ________. ①drive through lava tubes ②walk more than 150 miles of trails ③bike along the volcano’s paths ④camp in the rainforest A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①③④ 29.

The passage is probably from ________. A. a novel B. a magazine C. a storybook D. an advertisement (广告) D You must have read or heard of the sad love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. But can you imagine the two singing opera (歌剧) in English rather than speaking poetic Chinese? Jia and Lin are two characters from the Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions (《红楼 梦》), written by Cao Xueqin (1715—1763). Now the book has been made into an English-language opera. After being performed in San Francisco, the US, the performance came to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan in 2017. Many of the opera’s creators have backgrounds in both Chinese and American cultures, including the director and playwrights (剧作家). Their understanding of both cultures helped them change a Chinese classic into a foreign-language opera. The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters. But opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Hwang, a Chinese-American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a tragedy (悲剧) that everyone would understand. The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign people understand the characters by using costumes (服装) and stage decorations. He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin showed up on stage, there was usually water around her on the stage. The creators considered the work of introducing a Chinese classic to Western audience was worth doing. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to “have made a contribution (贡献) to the land where my parents were born”. 32. What do we know about A Dream of Red Mansions from Paragraph 4? A. It is mainly about the rise and greatness of the Jia family. B. It tells a love story between Jia and Lin with a happy ending. C. The book is very long and there are many different characters. D. The book has always been made into an English-language opera. 33. Why did Timmy Yip compare Lin to water? A. Because of her dressing style. B. Because of her character. C. Because of her appearance. D. Because of her life habits. 34. What can we infer from the text? A. A Dream of Red Mansions is written by Cao Xueqin. B. Hwang’s parents were born in United States of America. C. The English-language opera was shown in four cities in China. D. Timmy Yip knows a lot about Chinese and American cultures. 35. What do the creators of the opera think of their job? A. Difficult and unbelievable. B. Stressful and difficult. C. Satisfying and meaningful. D. Painful and challenging. E ①Humans usually communicate with each other with words. However, sometimes our hands can also show people what we mean. The same thing happens to the apes (猿) as well. ②Apes have their own gestures (手势) to show what they mean. Chimpanzees and bonobos are two kinds of apes that are the closest to humans. In fact, they have up to 80 different gestures to express themselves. Though the two kinds of apes use different signs in some ways, they share over 90% of the same gestures. ③Two researchers wondered whether humans could understand the gestures of apes. They created a game for people to play online. People needed to watch short videos of apes making a gesture and then chose the correct meaning of the gesture out of four possible answers. ④The result surprised the researchers a lot. They found that those people could choose the correct meaning over 50% of the time. For some gestures, they could even choose the correct meaning about 80% of the time. One example was the gesture of wiping the mouth. People could guess it correctly by choosing “give me that food”. And “big loud scratch (抓挠)” means “help pick insects off me”. But how could this happen? ⑤ ▲ . One possibility is that the gestures came from our ancestors, which we shared with the apes. Another possibility is that the gestures are a natural result of having similar body shapes and communicating similar ideas. It’s also possible that the gestures simply look like the actions they are asking for. ⑥It’s necessary to carry out further research to study how humans can understand the gestures of apes. And scientists also wonder how humans understand other animals, like dogs. 36. The researchers create a game online in order to ________. A. see how many researchers understand the gestures of apes B. show why people could understand the gesture of apes C. know if people were able to understand the gesture of apes D. find out how apes make gestures and communicate with others 37.
