Our driver today is Garay. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask us. First, just a few words about safety. The coach is equipped with safety belts. In Britain, it's required to fasten the safety belt. And for the comfort of others, we ask there should be no food on the coach. Now two arrangements today. We'll first visit Stonehenge, a world­famous site. The journey takes about 2 hours, depending on traffic. You will have about one hour to explore the area and your tour manager will advise you what time to be back on the coach to go on to Bath. It's a beautiful city, which stands on the river Avon among the hills of the England western country. After you get there, the coach will drop you in the city center. The tour manager will walk you into the well­known Roman Baths, built by the Romans in the third century AD.15：30 is the departure time from Bath for your return journey back to London. Hope you enjoy your trip! 答案　1－5　BCABA　6－10　CCCBB 11－15　AACBC　16－20　BAABC 第二部分　阅读 第一节 A——【语篇解读】　本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了世界著名的四大艺术博物馆，让读者了解它们的建筑历史、展品特点以及其他的一些相关信息。 21.B　细节理解题。根据第三段“It's famous for its outstanding collections of ancient sculptures and paintings from the Middle Ages to the Modern period, and mainly known for its paintings by Italian artists.(它以其从中世纪到现代时期的古代雕塑和绘画的杰出收藏而闻名，主要以意大利艺术家的绘画而闻名)”可知，乌菲齐美术馆以中世纪的古代雕像而闻名。故选B。 22.A　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“It boasts the world's second finest collection of Egyptian antiques.(它拥有世界上第二好的埃及古董收藏)”以及最后一段“Since its founding in 1870, it has been a treasury of rare and beautiful objects, ranging from European paintings, Egyptian collections to American paintings.(自1870年成立以来，它一直是稀有和美丽物品的宝库，从欧洲绘画，埃及收藏品到美国绘画)”可知，游客在大英博物馆和大都会博物馆都能享受到埃及的艺术品。故选A。 23.C　文章出处题。根据第一段“Whether you are a fine art lover or history enthusiast, there are some museums that you should visit in your lifetime. Here's a list of the best museums in the world.(无论你是美术爱好者还是历史爱好者，总有一些博物馆是你一生中应该去参观的。这里是世界上最好的博物馆的名单)”结合文章主要介绍了世界著名的四大艺术博物馆，让读者了解它们的建筑历史、展品特点以及其他的一些相关信息。可推知，文章最有可能选自一本博物馆指南。故选C。 B——【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了空中出租车有望更接近现实，Archer昨天宣布，计划在2024年之前在该市推出空中出租车网络。介绍了这种出租车的特点以及存在的问题。 24.D　段落大意题。根据第一段可知，第一段告诉我们空中出租车有望更接近现实。故选D。 25.C　细节理解题。根据第二段中“The all­electric, zero­emission aircraft can go up to 60 miles on a single charge, and can travel at speeds up to 150 miles per hour.(这架全电动、零排放的飞机充一次电可以飞行60英里，时速可达150英里。)”可知，环保是Maker的优势。故选C。 26.A　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“There's still a lot that needs to take place before we look up and see air taxis flying above our city streets. There need to be more takeoff and landing sites to make this mode of transportation practical and time­saving; its costs need to come down if anyone other than the wealthy is to be able to use it.(在我们看到空中出租车在我们的城市街道上飞行之前，还有很多事情要做。需要有更多的起降地点，以使这种运输方式实用和节省时间；如果有钱人以外的人都能使用它，它的成本就需要降低。)”可知，作者认为空中出租车是一个具有挑战性的过程。故选A。 27.D　推理判断题。根据第一段并结合文章主要介绍了空中出租车有望更接近现实，Archer昨天宣布，计划在2024年之前在该市推出空中出租车网络。介绍了这种出租车的特点以及存在的问题。由此推知，文章选自科学杂志。故选D。 C——【语篇解读】　本文是一篇新闻报道。在澳大利亚发生的森林大火中，一只考拉的命运牵动着世人的心。本文介绍了这只在大火中受伤的考拉在动物救护中心的生活。 28.D　细节理解题。根据第二段“Sam，who captured hearts around the world after she had been photographed drinking from a firefighter's water bottle，has also won the affection of ‘Bob’...”(山姆，在被拍到喝消防员水壶里的水后，吸引了全世界的目光，也赢得了鲍勃的喜爱)可知， 山姆出名是因为会酒后被拍摄到喝了消防员瓶装的水，选项D与文意相符，故选D。 29.A　细节理解题。根据第四段“ The telephone at the shelter has rung continually with callers' eager for updates on the creature's condition.”(动物收容所的电话一直响个不停，打电话的人都急切地想知道这只动物的最新情况。)可知在山姆的照片流传之后，救护中心的电话就响个不停，人们都急切地想了解山姆的最新状况。选项A与文意相符，故选A。 30.B　推理判断题。根据最后一段“The koalas are likely to be in the shelter for at least four months，depending on how quickly their burns heal.”(两只考拉可能会在庇护所里待至少四个月，这取决于它们烧伤愈合的速度。)可知山姆和鲍勃这两只考拉还要在救护中心至少待4个月，时间的长短取决于它们的烧伤恢复的速度。由此推断它们 “仍在治疗中”。选项B与文意相符，故选B。 31.D　推理判断题。根据第二段中“ caretaker Lynn Raymond said on Thursday”及倒数第三段中“who took an immediate interest in her when she arrived on Sunday.”出现了具体的时间，而一般只有报纸才会有如此强的时效性，所以本文可能是一篇新闻报道。选项D与文意相符，故选D。 D——【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。作者介绍了自己在间隔年去阿拉斯加旅游的经历以及收获。 32.D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“my exam results meant that I could study engineering at university”可知，作者将要上大学学工程学专业。 33.B　细节理解题。由第二段中的“I had to raise a large amount of money for the trip.It was a big task”可知，作者不得不为这次旅行筹集一大笔钱，这是一项艰巨的任务，故B项正确。 34.A　推理判断题。由最后一段第一句“Looking back，a gap year was so right for me.”可知，作者认为他的间隔年让他受益匪浅，非常值得。 35.C　写作意图题。通读全文可知，作者主要描述了他在中学毕业以后，没有马上去读大学，而是选择在间隔年参加野外旅行活动的经历。 第二节 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章比较了欧洲科技生态系统中表现最好的国家——英国、芬兰、德国和瑞典。 36.D　根据空后的“Well, let's find out now.(好吧，现在让我们来看看。)”以及第二段中“The UK government and its businesses have been spending billions of dollars on research and development to drive innovation in Biotech.(英国政府及其企业已经在研发上投入了数十亿美元，以推动生物技术的创新。)”、第三段中“Finland is second in digital life overall, and first in cashless payment. (芬兰的数字生活总体排名第二，无现金支付排名第一。)”、第四段中“Since the beginning, Germany's industry has supported scientific research.(从一开始，德国的工业就支持科学研究。)”和第五段中“Sweden is a leader in technological innovation, with remarkable achievements in web development and mobile apps. (瑞典是技术创新的领导者，在网页开发和移动应用方面取得了卓越的成就。)”可知，下面的文章是对这四个国家的技术进行了比较。D项“We want to see how Europe's tech countries compare.(我们想看看欧洲的科技国家如何比较。)”可以引出后文，且D项中“Europe's tech countries”指代的就是上文中的“The UK, Finland, Germany, and Sweden”，与后文段落中比较的国家也一致。故选D。 37.G　根据后文 “The UK government and its businesses have been spending billions of dollars on research and development to drive innovation in Biotech.(英国政府及其企业已经在研发上投入了数十亿美元，以推动生物技术的创新。)”可知本段讲的是英国的科技。G项“The British Empire was once the most developed country in the world.(大英帝国曾经是世界上最发达的国家。)”可作本段主题句。且“ Even more amazing ? (更神奇的是？ )”是对前一句的肯定和对后文“This country is home to many basic scientific principles.(这个国家有许多基本的科学原理。)”的铺垫，“This country”指的就是G项中“The British Empire”。故选G。 38.C　前文“High­speed internet access and freedom of speech make the Finnish ecosystem more sustainable, with good internet access and mobile coverage in remote areas. (高速互联网接入和言论自由使芬兰的生态系统更具可持续性，在偏远地区有良好的互联网接入和移动覆盖。)”说明了网络很好地覆盖了芬兰的偏远地区。C项“Most residents there can switch on easily.[那里的大多数居民都能轻松接通(网络)。]”与前文意义一致，且C项中“there”指上文中的“in remote areas”。故选C。 39.F　后文“Mercedes, BMW, and Volkswagen are some examples.(奔驰、宝马和大众就是一些例子。)”属于汽车品牌。F项“This is supported by evidence from global automotive brands.(这得到了全球汽车品牌的支持。)”能够自然引出后文。故选F。 40.B　前文“ For years, Ericsson and other large tech companies dominated the market.(多年来，爱立信和其他大型科技公司主导着市场。)”与后文“Other Swedish companies like Spotify, Torrent, and Skype are now leading the charge.(其他瑞典公司，如Spotify、Torrent和Skype，现在正在引领这一潮流。)”形成了转折，即主导的科技公司发生了变化。B项“The tide has turned today.(今天形势发生了变化。)”作为过渡句，符合语境。故选B。 第三部分　语言运用 第一节 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了Salgado发现自己儿时的天堂——茂密的森林由于森林砍伐，病入膏肓。Salgado一家人通过自己的努力，使它再次被绿树覆盖，之前生活在这片土地上的一些昆虫、鸟类和动物也回来了。 41.C　sorry抱歉的；ready准备好的；eager渴望的；willing乐意的。根据下文“The thick forest there was once a paradise for him and his friends，bringing them __42__ memories.”可知，他渴望看到他的家族经营的土地。故选C。 42.A　句意为：茂密的森林曾经是他和他朋友们的天堂，给他们带来了美好的回忆。wonderful美好的；embarrassing使人尴尬的；painful痛苦的；complex复杂的。故选A。 43.D　句意为：令他惊恐的是，他看到了一个完全不同的景象。direction方向；atmosphere气氛；plan计划；sight景象。根据下文“Only 0.5% of the land was covered with trees.”可知，他看到了一个完全不同的景象。故选D。 44.B　句意为：这片土地病入膏肓——由于森林砍伐，一切都被破坏了。disturb干扰；destroy破坏；prohibit禁止；abandon抛弃。 45.C　句意为：Salgado在巴黎举行的气候变化会议上悲伤地说。calmly平静地；nervously紧张地；sadly悲伤地；lightly轻松地。故选C。 46.B　句意为：Salgado意识到他应该做点什么。admit承认；realize意识到；agree同意；prove证明。故选B。 47.A　句意为：后来，他想出了一个大胆的主意：在这片土地上重新植树，出乎他意料的是，这个主意得到了妻子和亲戚们的支持。think up想出；laugh at嘲笑；turn down拒绝；try out试验。故选A。 48.D　参见上题句意解析。doubt怀疑；permission允许；suggestion建议；support支持。故选D。 49.C　句意为：很快，整个家庭都采取了行动，效果显著。back off后退；break up结束；take action采取行动；get through通过。故选C。 50.C　句意为：渐渐地，土地在变化。suddenly突然地；eventually最后；gradually渐渐地；generally普遍地。根据生活常识可知，土地发生变化是一个逐渐变化的过程。故选C。 51.B　句意为：它再次被绿树覆盖，之前生活在这片土地上的一些昆虫，鸟类和动物也回来了。escape逃跑；return返回；approach接近；die死亡。故选B。 52.C　句意为：有献身精神的这一家人的辛勤工作也感动了他们周围的人。kind­hearted好心的；brave勇敢的；devoted有献身精神的；considerate考虑周到的。故选C。 53.B　句意为：他们停止砍伐树木，开始保护环境。forget忘记；stop停止；delay延迟；miss错过。故选B。 54.D　句意为：Salgado说：“多年来的工作非常困难，但值得努力，我认为每一点工作都很重要。”comment评论；promise许诺；offer提供；effort努力。故选D。 55.D　参见上题解析。increase增加；match匹配；improve改善；matter要紧，重要。故选D。 第二节 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了陕西省会城市西安的标志性地标和文化象征——钟楼。 56.a　考查冠词。句意：钟楼位于西安这座有着3100多年历史的城市的地理中心，是陕西省省会城市的标志性地标和文化象征。此处泛指一座有着3100多年历史的城市，空格处应用不定冠词，表示泛指。“city”发音第一个音素为辅音音素，故填a。 57.cultural　考查形容词。句意：钟楼位于西安这座有着3100多年历史的城市的地理中心，是陕西省会城市的标志性地标和文化象征。“symbol”为名词，空格处应用形容词，作定语，“cultural”意为“文化的”，形容词词性。故填cultural。 58.Constructed　考查非谓语动词。句意：它建于明初(1368—1644)的1384年，是中国同类建筑中规模最大、保存最完好的建筑。句中有系动词“is”，故空格处应用非谓语动词，“it”和“construct”为逻辑上的动宾关系，故应用“construct”的过去分词“constructed”作状语，句首单词首字母大写。故填Constructed。 59.height　考查名词。句意：这座建筑高36米(118英尺)，采用砖木结构，三个屋檐坐落在厚重的地面上，四个角在顶部相交。“With”为介词，空格处应用名词，作宾语，“height”意为“高度”，名词词性，“a”后接可数名词单数。故填height。 60.sitting　考查with的复合结构。句意：这座建筑高36米(118英尺)，采用砖木结构，三个屋檐坐落在厚重的地面上，四个角在顶部相交。句中“with three eaves (屋檐) ____ (sit) on heavy floors”为with的复合结构，“eaves”和“sit”为逻辑上的主谓关系，故应用“sit”的现在分词“sitting”作宾语补足语。故填sitting。 61.was used　考查时态和语态。句意：在过去，顶部悬挂着一个大钟，用于发出警报或报时，因此得名。根据句意和句中“In the past”可知，句子陈述的是过去发生的事，“a large bell”和“use”为被动关系，故句子应用一般过去时的被动语态，“a large bell”和“was”连用。故填was used。 62.that/which　考查定语从句。句意：如今，钟楼是一个不容错过的历史景点，吸引了数以万计的游客前来欣赏中国古代建筑的魅力、美丽和宏伟。分析句子可知，句子为限制性定语从句，先行词为“attraction”，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，故应用关系代词“which”或“that”引导从句。故填which/that。 63.to appreciate　考查固定短语。句意：如今，钟楼是一个不容错过的历史景点，吸引了数以万计的游客前来欣赏中国古代建筑的魅力、美丽和宏伟。句中涉及固定短语“come to do sth”，意为“来做某事”，故空格处应用不定式“to appreciate”作目的状语。故填to appreciate。 64.has witnessed　考查时态。句意：600多年来，它屹立在古城之上，见证了这座城市作为中国西北地区的一颗明珠的历史兴衰，并牢牢保护和保存了其宝贵的文化。根据句意和句中“for more than 600 years”可知，句子应用现在完成时，表示动作开始于过去，持续到现在，“it”和“has”连用，“witness”的过去分词为“witnessed”。故填has witnessed。 65.firmly　 考查副词。句意：600多年来，它屹立在古城之上，见证了这座城市作为中国西北地区的一颗明珠的历史兴衰，并牢牢保护和保存了其宝贵的文化。“has guarded”为动词，空格处应用副词，作状语，“firm”为形容词，对应的副词为“firmly”，意为“牢固地”。故填firmly。 第四部分　写作 第一节 【参考范文】 Dear_Peter， I'm_so_happy_to_hear_you're_coming_to_Beijing.I think it's a good chance to experience Chinese culture.Here is the travel plan I make for you.

Looking_forward_to_meeting_you_soon! Yours， Li_Hua 第二节 【参考范文】 The sky started to become darker and I was very worried. I didn't know what to do. I called out to my friends, but there was no reply. I tried to look for a way but none of the scenes seemed familiar. I walked for a few more minutes and I got tired and hungry so I gave up. I was horrified. Finally, I gave up and leaned on a tree to rest. As I was falling asleep, I heard a human voice. It was unbelievable, then I heard someone else. I screamed, “Help！” Actually, they were rescuers searching for me. My friends Jack and Liam told the guide that they found I was lost, and finally some rescuers were called to help. They led me back to the bus. Seeing me, my friends told me they were really worried. I apologized to them for leaving the group without telling them. Instead of feeling angry with me, they comforted me and helped me calm down to learn a good lesson from it. And I truly learned a good lesson from it—never leave your group members when you're in a strange place. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 测试卷(四)　B卷　单元仿真训练卷(2) (本卷满分：150分　测试时间：120分钟) 第一部分　听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.What do we know about Sam?

Its eight million objects allow us to explore the diversity of human cultures, and discover the expressions in human being's life. It boasts the world's second finest collection of Egyptian antiques. THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART, NEW YORK Also known as “the Met”， it's the largest art museum in the America.

An announcement this week from electric aircraft startup Archer Aviation just brought a future where you can call a flight across town one step closer. Archer announced yesterday that it has planned to launch a network of air taxis in the city by 2024. Archer's version of a flying taxi is called the Maker. It looks a bit like a helicopter and has three propellers. The all­electric, zero­emission aircraft can go up to 60 miles on a single charge, and can travel at speeds up to 150 miles per hour. The windows give passengers a 270­degree view, and if the outside world below you isn't entertaining enough, there's also a touch screen for flight information and other entertainment options. Though all the data are in place, Archer hasn't actually started producing Makers yet. There's still a lot that needs to take place before we look up and see air taxis flying above our city streets. There need to be more takeoff and landing sites to make this mode of transportation practical and time­saving; its costs need to come down if anyone other than the wealthy is to be able to use it. Despite the remaining obstacles, Archer is optimistic about its potential, projecting more than $12 billion of income by 2030. If that ends up being accurate, it will mean a lot of people are using air taxis to get around, and in more cities. Either way, it seems this mode of transportation is slowly but surely moving from a far­off concept to near­term reality. 24.What is the first paragraph telling us?

C “Sam”，a koala，the most famous survivor of Australia's worst wildfire，is healing well thanks to the efforts of caretakers at a shelter—and she even has a new boyfriend，“Bob”. “Sam，who captured hearts around the world after she had been photographed drinking from a firefighter's water bottle，has also won the affection of ‘Bob’，another koala whose paws were scorched，” caretaker Lynn Raymond said on Thursday. Neither koala is likely to be healthy enough for release for at least four months，and both are being comforted by caretakers for their scorched paws every few hours. Global interest in the fate of Sam has been intense since a photograph of firefighter David Tree offering her a bottle of water in a burned­out forest was splashed across the Internet，in newspapers and on television broadcasts.The telephone at the shelter has rung continually with callers' eager for updates on the creature's condition. “It's crazy，” Raymond said with a laugh.“But everybody has been absolutely wonderful.” Sam was found moving on scorched paws by a fire patrol on Sunday.Tree then held out a bottle of water for her to drink，which she eagerly accepted，holding Tree's hand as he poured water into her mouth. After suffering second­and third­degree burns to her paws，Sam has been sharing a cage with Bob，who took an immediate interest in her when she arrived on Sunday. Both Sam and Bob were given painkillers when they first arrived，but they're off the drugs now.The two are still receiving antibiotics(抗生素) and have their bandages changed regularly to avoid infections. The koalas are likely to be in the shelter for at least four months，depending on how quickly their burns heal. 28.What is Sam well­known for? A.Her falling in love with Bob.

A.are still taking painkillers B.are still under treatment C.have completely healed from the treatment D.are free of infections 31.From which is the text most probably taken? A.The radio B.A geography book C.A guidebook D.A newspaper D When leaving school，I was pleased that my exam results meant that I could study engineering at university.But I also wanted to travel before starting my course.A friend of mine told me about the Schools Exploring Society，an organization which helps students take a gap year (a year between leaving school and going to college).It has three foreign journeys a year，taking 16－20­year­olds on science and nature trips. I love being outdoors，and a mountaineering trip to Alaska was on offer.So I signed up(报名) immediately. There was one problem，though.I had to raise a large amount of money for the trip.It was a big task，but I managed to make it.I washed cars，worked in a cafe and also sold off some of my old books，clothes and CDs.Then，just before starting out，I started worrying.Can I do this？Am I fit enough？What if I see a bear? Seventy of us traveled to Alaska.The first two days after arrival were spent in a school hall preparing our equipment and five tons of food.Then we left for the beautiful Talkeetna Mountain.On the trip we dug paths and recognized plant species.Then we climbed a mountain that was over 6，000 feet high.It was tiring but exciting. Looking back，a gap year was so right for me.I learned a lot about accepting other people for what they are.We had to help each other and it made me less selfish.My gap year has also made me more able to concentrate(专心).Now，whenever I'm worried about anything，I think I did in Alaska—I can do this! 32.We can learn from Paragraph 1 that the author ________.

They asked me if I would like to go with them. I love outdoor activities, so I immediately said yes. It was sunny the following morning. I was in a very good mood. I was so excited about hiking since it was the first time that I had hiked with them. I ate a light breakfast. After that, I hurriedly ran out of my house to meet them in the school playground. The jungle where we were going was far from our school. It took about three hours to go there by bus, but it wasn't a boring journey as we were all eager to hike. After we got off the bus, we found a local guide to ensure our safety. The guide, whose name is Thomas, said that he had hiked there lots of times and that he was familiar with the route. When we arrived, Thomas told us never to leave the group. He warned us that we would easily get lost in the jungle if we walked alone. Then we began to hike. There were various plants which we had never seen before. All of us were amazed at the beauty of the scenery and the sounds of the creatures. Sadly, after hiking for about an hour, I found that my watch on my wrist was gone. I realized that my watch had fallen off. It was a gift from my grandma, and I loved it very much. Without thinking, I turned back and tried to find my watch. Since I was the last one walking in the group, nobody noticed it when I walked away. I wasn't worried about getting lost because I thought I could find my watch easily. However, when I finally found my watch and tried to catch up with my friends, they had gone far. I immediately realized that I was alone and lost. 注意：续写词数应为150 左右。 The sky started to become darker and I was very worried.____________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Actually, they were rescuers searching for me.______________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
