Hello. This is FM 98.6. It's been another warm and fine day for most of us. Temperatures in southeast England reached twenty-six degrees centigrade by mid-afternoon, and had fifteen hours of lovely sunshine. But already the weather is beginning to change, I'm afraid, and during the night showers will slowly move in from the Atlantic to reach southwest England by early morning. The rest of the country will have a very mild, dry night with temperatures no lower than fifteen degrees in the south, a little cooler—eleven degrees or so—in the north.
And now, let's move on to the weather forecast for Friday and the weekend. Well, southern Europe will once again get the best of the weekend weather. Scotland and Northern Ireland will have heavy rain for much of the weekend and temperatures will drop to a cool seventeen degrees. Across most of England the weather will be cloudy but mainly dry with sunny periods. And when the sun does come out, temperatures could rise up to twenty three degrees ...
18.What was the maximum temperature in southeast England by mid-afternoon?
A.15 ℃. B.23 ℃.
C.26 ℃.
答案:C
19.When will the rain reach southwest England?
A.By early morning.
B.By mid-afternoon.
C.By mid-night.
答案:A
20.How will the weather be in Scotland this weekend?
A.Cloudy. B.Sunny.
C.Rainy.
答案:C
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
Close your eyes for a moment. Imagine you are deep in a forest. Hear the frogs croaking, the crickets chirping and the songbirds calling. In the distance, you sense a waterfall coming into a river, which flows right past you. As you listen to the sounds of nature, a peaceful, relaxing feeling washes over you. This is the power of the natural world, and it's exactly what field recordists record with their equipment.
Field recordists gather natural sounds using complex instruments that are able to imitate the way the human ear senses them. A German field recordist named Carina Pesch said, “So, you don't only have left and right. You have up and down and front and back. It really takes you into the place.” Pesch is one of a growing number of people who have taken up field recording. Some of them do it as a fulltime job, and others participate in it more on a part-time basis. The recordings are used in movies or put online, often as videos with images of forests and other beautiful scenery.
To gather the best sounds, the top field recordists set up two microphones. They may use a “dummy head”. That is a manmade head shaped like a human's. The microphones are placed in the ears of the head. This method effectively imitates the way people naturally hear. Indeed, the recordings of nature sound so real that they can reduce mental and physical stress because it's easy for listeners to believe they are outdoors surrounded by the wonders of nature.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种名为“野外录音师”的职业,他们使用复杂的工具收集自然声音,这些工具能够模仿人类耳朵感知声音的方式。
21.What is Carina Pesch's job?
A.Making movies about nature.
B.Studying how human ears work.
C.Recording the sounds of nature.
D.Exploring the natural environment.
答案:C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Field recordists gather natural sounds ... A German field recordist named Carina Pesch said(野外录音师使用复杂的工具收集自然声音,这些工具能够模仿人类耳朵感知声音的方式。一位名叫Carina Pesch (卡琳娜·佩斯)的德国野外录音师说)”可知,Carina Pesch的工作是记录大自然的声音。故选C。
22.What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A.Field recording began in Germany.
B.Field recording is getting more popular.
C.Parttime recordists are rare in the business.
D.Recordists use instruments to imitate nature.
答案:B 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Pesch is one of a growing number of people who have taken up field recording. Some of them do it as a fulltime job, and others participate in it more on a parttime basis. (Pesch是越来越多从事野外录音工作的人之一。有些人把它作为一份全职工作,而另一些人则更多地以兼职的形式参与其中。)”可推知,野外录音越来越流行了。故选B。
23.What is the “dummy head” used for?
A.Reducing the recordists' physical stress.
B.Allowing the recordists to stay indoors.
C.Testing whether the microphones work.
D.Imitating the way people naturally hear.
答案:D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The microphones are placed in the ears of the head. This method effectively imitates the way people naturally hear.”可知,“仿真头”的用途是模仿人们自然听力的方式。故选D。
B
Our mother earth is going through a very tough situation and we, the entire human race, are destroying our environment or unconsciously without even realizing its consequences. Now we have to act very smartly and plan something to sustain what we still have, getting all necessary support from nature to lead healthy lives.
Gardening is always an excellent and environmentally friendly idea. If you can go for sustainable gardening, then it will be even more useful for all. Gardening is a favorite hobby for many. It is time to channelize your hobby towards a more meaningful motivation.
When we do gardening we need to use different ingredients to grow plants. Some of them are natural resources like water, soil, sunshine, and many things like this. Using these resources smartly is a part of sustainable gardening. Some simple techniques include: use less water and organic things to grow plants; try to store rainwater so that you can use them for gardening; try using less energy to drive devices; avoid using plastics in any form while gardening; reuse the leaves from your garden to fertilize them. These are the basic sustainable measures. To do so we need to have proper knowledge about gardening and its requirements so that we can use proper resources without wasting any of them.
In today's busy life we don't get much time to spend on our environment. Gardening gives us a chance to do so. We can also have some pesticidefree and fresh food if we grow them in our garden. This is the right time to do some good to protect our own environment and gardening is one of the easiest ways. Do you want to start gardening, but you're not sure how?

I decided to ski to the North Pole. It was after I saw an advertisement in a newspaper looking for people to join a team to ski 350 miles to the North Pole. Back in 1996, there had never been a woman from the UK who had accomplished this challenge. I wondered what it would be like to survive in temperatures cold enough to freeze your flesh in seconds, so I sent off for the application form.
The application form full of pictures of male explores arrived. The words “Are you man enough for the ultimate (极限的) challenge?” made me angry and even more determined to get on the team.
Over 500 individuals applied for a place in the team, and the selection process included physical and psychological tests designed to pick the best group. In one test, there was a huge rope ladder we had to climb, and I froze at the top because I have a fear of heights. I thought my hopes were fading as most other applicants sailed past, leaving me behind. But two others helped me over, and later I found out that the organizers were not looking for amazing individuals, but great team players, and this moment had shown them who would take care of others in the team.
I had revealed (显示) my weakness, and in a place like the Arctic, you have to be yourself, as there is nowhere to hide. These personalities of asking for help and showing weakness are necessary for women to master.
I realized that by being myself, I could succeed. I was selected for the team. I realized that I could achieve more than I ever imagined—more importantly, by sharing my story with others, I could inspire them to take a step into the new world and reveal more of their abilities.

Everybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the world—Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey—rats will soon be man's new best friends.
What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can't get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.
How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat's brain gives a signal. This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat's brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.
Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University, New York says, “Robots' noses don't work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don't need electricity!
The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, “It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn't get to and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course).
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在地震中用老鼠来寻找被困在地下的人的优势。
32.In the world earthquake capitals, rats will become man's best friends because they can ________.
A.take the place of man's rescue jobs
B.find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildings
C.serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildings
D.get into small spaces
答案:B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But in the earthquake capitals of the world—Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey—rats will soon be man's new best friends.”和第二段中的“So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.(因此,现在一项新的研究项目正在使用一种较小的动物来拯救生命:老鼠。)”可推知,在世界地震之都,老鼠将成为人类最好的朋友,因为它们可以找到被困在建筑物里的活着的人的位置。故选B。
33.From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person is alive by ________.
A.the noise made by the rat
B.the rat's unusual behavior
C.the signal sent by the radio on the rat's back
D.the smell given off by the person
答案:C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat's brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive.”可知,救援人员可以通过老鼠背上的无线电发出的信号来判断一个人是否还活着。故选C。
34.In doing rescue jobs ________.
A.rats smell better than dogs
B.dogs don't need to be trained to smell people
C.robots' sense of smell can be affected by other smells around
D.rats can not see in the dark
答案:C 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Robots' noses don't work well when there are other smells around(当周围有其他气味时,机器人的鼻子就不能正常工作)”可知,在救援时,机器人的嗅觉会受到周围其他气味的影响。故选C。
35.After reading the passage we can know ________.
A.nowadays rats have replaced dogs in searching for people
B.the “rat project” has been completed
C.people are now happy to see a rat in a building
D.now people still use dogs and robots in performing rescues
答案:D 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives.(地震后会发生什么?我们派出了救援犬。为什么?因为它们能闻到人的气味。狗能救人。)”和倒数第二段中的“Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better.(虽然已经有机器人可以做这项工作,但老鼠更好。)”和最后一段中的“The ‘rat project’ is not finished(‘老鼠项目’还未完成)”可推知,这个项目还未投入使用,人们还在使用狗和机器人实施救援。故选D。

Causes of sandstorms.
In desert areas, sandstorms are most commonly caused by either thunderstorm outflows, or by strong pressure gradients (气压梯度) which cause an increase in wind speed over a wide area. In some cases, dust and sand may set a limit to a shallow depth by a lowlying temperature change. __36__ Drought is another cause of sandstorms. Poor farming practices make dust and sand free of protection from the wind. __37__ A sandstorm can transport and carry large amounts of sand. Desert is the key source of sandstorms. Saharan sandstorms have increased about 10 times during the half century since the 1950s, causing topsoil loss in nearby countries. In Mauritania, there were just two sandstorms a year in the early 1960s, but there are 80 a year today.
__38__
Sandstorms have also been shown to increase the spread of disease across the globe. Virus in the dust is blown into the atmosphere by the storms. Some diseases may not be urgent at the very beginning, but they can develop into deadly ones if left untreated. __39__
Sandstorms cause soil loss from the dry lands, doing harm to agriculture. Sandstorms also reduce visibility, affecting airplanes and road transportation. __40__
Dust can also have good effects. Central and South American rainforests get most of their mineral nutrients from the Sahara; ironpoor ocean regions get iron.
A.Effects of sandstorms.
B.Bad results caused by sandstorms.
C.People know little about the effects about sandstorms.
D.In other cases, dust may be blown as high as 6,100 meters high.
E.Dry-land farming is one of the most serious practices.
F.For example, a breathing problem can lead to lung cancer, while dry eyes lead to blindness.
G.In addition, sandstorms also discourage visitors from visiting these places, striking tourism.
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了沙尘暴形成的原因及其危害。
36.D 上文表述“在某些情况下,由于低洼温度变化,灰尘和沙子可能会限制在浅层深度。”D项(在其他情况下,灰尘可能会吹到6,100米高的地方。)承接上文,并且该项中的“In other cases”与上文的“In some cases”相呼应。故选D。
37.E 上文表述“糟糕的耕作方式使灰尘和沙子随风而起。”下文表述“沙尘暴可以运输和携带大量的沙子。”因此推断,设空处列举了某种具体的糟糕的耕作方式,故选E。
38.A 下文表述“沙尘暴也被证明增加了疾病在全球的传播。”由此可以看出,这里讲述的是沙尘暴带来的影响。A项(沙尘暴的影响。)引出下文,故选A。
39.F 上文表述“有些疾病在一开始可能并不紧急,但如果不及时治疗,它们可能会发展成致命的疾病。”F项(例如,呼吸问题会导致肺癌,而干眼症会导致失明。)承接上文,是上文同一观点的具体描述,故选F。
40.G 上文表述“沙尘暴也降低了能见度,影响了飞机和公路运输。”此处叙述的是沙尘暴的危害,故G项(此外,沙尘暴还阻碍游客参观这些地方,打击旅游业。)切题,并且该项中的“In addition”把上下文紧密相连。故选G。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30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。
I have a place that is full of flowers. On the fence there is a __41__ I made saying, “My roses are pretty. I grow them to __42__ and share as gifts, but the __43__ way to get one is to ask first.”
Over the years, I've had many chances to know __44__ who have either asked for and been given, or __45__ the sign and taken my roses. Years back, I noticed three teenage girls __46__ taking my roses as they passed to and from school. One afternoon, they __47__ the roses once more and broke some off. I went near to them for a __48__ before they ran away. I explained how they were __49__ my roses by breaking them off. Later, the three girls asked for roses for a couple of years till they __50__.
Many __51__ have been given and received in the course of these __52__ over more than 30 years of living here. Then, one winter evening years later, I stepped into a store __53__ a rose before my wife's birthday. The eyes of the young owner went wide when she __54__ me and she wouldn't accept my money for the rose. Guess who? One of those three girls!

Ladies and gentlemen,
Yesterday our English teacher asked me to say something about pollution.Now, I give you my views on this vital question.
As a matter of fact, the effects of industrial pollution are well known to everyone—polluted air, polluted water, polluted earth.Though a great deal is already being done to control these effects, the problem of pollution is still serious.Continued population increase, smoke and chemical waste produced by factories and cars, not only threaten to exhaust our resources, but also pollute our environment.We do need clean air, safe water and our children's health.
In my opinion, to solve the problem of pollution, everyone must refrain from polluting our environment.We should know that this is the duty of every individual, not that of the government alone.
Thank you for listening.
第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sam Watts was a 37yearold fisherman living and working in Canada. One day, Sam planned to head out into the Pacific at 9 am and work straight through until 5 pm the next day. Joining Sam would be his crewman, 24yearold Tom Buck.
Although Sam had been warned that a storm was coming, there was little that would keep him from going. As he sailed through the waves some 120 kilometers from land, Sam let out his threekilometerlong fishing line. The storm was gaining strength on land but had yet to reach the men far offshore. That changed around 1 am. Waves rocked the small boat, which began to turn sideways like an amusement park ride. “Get us out of here!” Tom screamed to Sam. “Let's go back!”
With the winds and waves kicking up, the boat began to fill with water. Sam and Tom tried to pull in the fishing line together, but the high waves filled the boat with water, forcing Sam to make a hard decision. He cut the line, losing thousands of dollars' worth of equipment and fish in the sea. He then pointed the boat toward a port five hours away. Sam then called his boss, William Fox, to report his position.
With dawn coming, Sam spotted the rise of the mountains on the horizon. He was figuring out a route through the dangerous waters when suddenly the motor stopped. “I couldn't believe it,” Sam said. “We were 24 kilometers off the coast, and the motor died.” High waves raised and dropped the boat, sending the men crashing into the sides. “William, William!” Sam yelled into the radio. “If you're coming to get me, come now!”
“We're coming!” William shouted back.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Shortly after, the radio died and the wind continued to blow straight offshore, driving the men farther out to sea.
The next morning, Sam spotted a fishing boat in the distance.
写前导读:本文是一篇记叙文。Sam(山姆)和Tom(汤姆)一起出海去太平洋捕鱼,不料中途遇到暴风雨,他们被风吹得越来越偏离海岸,接下来会发生什么事呢?第二天,Sam发现不远处有一条渔船,他们能回到岸上吗?
[精彩范文]
Shortly after, the radio died and the wind continued to blow straight offshore, driving the men farther out to sea. They had been drifting for hours. After what seemed a century, suddenly Sam shouted and pointed at a nearby place, “Look! There is an island!” Sam and Tom quickly jumped into the sea, which became calmer, and they managed to land on the island. They were surprised to find that there were people living on it. The people there gave them some food. The storm seemed to be over and they had a good sleep that night.
The next morning, Sam spotted a fishing boat in the distance. It belonged to the people on the island. These kind people gave the boat to Sam as a present and warned him that the storm would come back again in two days, so he must hurry up! Sam thanked them and set off on the route he had planned. After two days' sailing, they finally reached the coast. At that time, Sam's radio rang: I'm William! I'm in the middle of the sea. The storm is rocking my boat terribly. “Help me!”
