When he went outside, he saw his neighbor climbing out of a front window of his second floor flat, which was on fire. He then saw the man covered in black soot(黑灰), shouting for help. The 15-year-old boy called the fire service and tried to calm the neighbor, who is in his thirties, until firefighters arrived. Rory said, “He was shouting ‘Help me, help me! Get a ladder, get a ladder!’ He was a bit hysterical(歇斯底里的). I didn’t have time to think. I just tried to calm him by telling him the firefighters were on the way.” Rory was told by the man that the fire had been caused by a candle falling over. Firefighters from New Cross, Peckham, Lewisham and Forest Hill rescued the man by ladder and got the fire under control within minutes of arriving. The man was taken to a south London hospital where he is still recovering from smoke inhalation(吸入). 25% of the flat was damaged by the fire. Rory, studying music, added, “As the man walked past me, he said ‘Thanks’ and that meant a lot to me. I do feel good because I helped save his life.” Another neighbor said, “I heard a lot of noise but thought it was coming from the railway opposite. I couldn’t believe it when I saw the man hanging there. The boy next door really did save his life by calling the firefighters.” 4. According to the passage, what caused the fire? A. Rory’s smoking. B. Careless cooking. C. The gas fire. D. A lighted candle. 5. Before the firefighters arrived, what did Rory do? A. He lighted the candle. B. He calmed his neighbor. C. He closed doors to stop the fire. D. He held a ladder. 6. How was the man rescued? A. He was rescued by ladder. B. The boy carried him out. C. He was carried by a firefighter who got into the room. D. He got out himself. 7. It can be inferred from the passage that _______. A. much of the flat was destroyed B. Rory was sent to hospital for injuries C. Rory studied music D. Rory led an important part in saving the man’s life 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了一个15岁的男孩Rory打电话给消防局挽救了在火灾中的邻居，在消防员赶到之前，Rory努力他使他的邻居平静下来并最终获救的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Rory was told by the man that the fire had been caused by a candle falling over.”可知，那个男人告诉Rory，火灾是由掉下来的蜡烛引起的。即点燃的蜡烛引起了这场火灾。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The 15-year-old boy called the fire service and tried to calm the neighbor, who is in his thirties, until firefighters arrived. ”可知，这个15岁的男孩打电话给消防局，试图让30岁的邻居平静下来，直到消防员赶到为止。即在消防人员到达之前，Rory他使他的邻居平静下来。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Firefighters from New Cross, Peckham, Lewisham and Forest Hill rescued the man by ladder and got the fire under control within minutes of arriving.”可知，来自New Cross、Peckham、Lewisham和Forest Hill的消防员通过梯子将其救出，并在抵达后数分钟内将火势控制住。即该名男子是由消防员通过梯子救出的。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。由第2题的分析可知，这个15岁的男孩打电话给消防局，试图让30岁的邻居平静下来，直到消防员赶到为止。再由最后一段中邻居的描述“The boy next door really did save his life by calling the firefighters”可知，隔壁的男孩打电话给消防员挽救了这位男子的生命。由此可推断出Rory为挽救这名男子的生命发挥了重要的作用。故选D。 C There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier, "Paper or plastic？"Well, which type of bag would you choose？ While both types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are kinder. They are made from a renewable source, are broken down easily, burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled. However, the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true？ Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production. And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher. Besides, the influence on forests is very serious. It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags, which happen to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling, the idea that paper bags are more environment friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded. Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does to recycle paper. Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones, plastic still seems to be considered as the more harmful of the two by governments. In Ireland, for example, a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags. People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag, and as a result, their use has dropped quickly. There’s no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However, we don’t seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so, cloth bags are a better choice, but still, their production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what to do? How should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic?” It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question: “What can I do to help the environment?” 8. The question at the end of Paragraph 1 is used to ________. A. introduce points for discussion B. tell readers how to save money C. express the author's doubts D. show the kindness of the cashier 9. Compared with plastic bags, paper bags ________. A. take more time to break down B. require less energy to recycle C. need more water to produce D. have less influence on forests 10. The underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 3 probably means "________". A. share B. put forward C. discuss D. give up 11. Which question does the author probably hope the cashier ask? A. Paper or cloth? B. A new bag or your own one? C. A small bag or big one? D. Paper or plastic？ 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了生产和回收购物纸袋实际要比塑料袋消耗更多的能源，并不有利于环境，但人们仍然认为塑料袋对环境的危害要大一些，作者认为无论何种材质，重复使用这些袋子才有利于环境。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句话While both types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are kinder.可知，作者提出问题是为了引出下文的讨论“纸袋真的更好吗？”，故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher.可知，制作纸袋的用水量是制作塑料袋的20倍。故选C。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does to recycle paper.可知，回收塑料比回收纸要更节约能源，故the idea that paper bags are more environment friendly than plastic ones(纸袋比塑料更环保的想法可能很快会被放弃)，故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的There’s no doubt that it make more sense to reuse these bags.可知，毫无疑问，重新使用这些袋子更有意义，因此推断作者建议人们循环使用纸袋，故选B。 【点睛】词义猜测题做题技巧 词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一，可以大致分为①定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer to，be called或that’s to say，such as等。②逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly, the same as, but, however, while, on the other hand, since ,because等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分含义一样、相反或是前因后果。③语法猜词，可以根据构词法，再结合上下文进行猜词。④语境猜词，猜测词义离不开上下文的语境，通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析，同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。⑤指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容，做题时要注意指代词的位置，以便于判断，然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致，最后比较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。 比如小题3，根据第三段中的"Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does to recycle paper"可知，回收塑料比回收纸要更节约能源，故"the idea that paper bags are more environment friendly than plastic ones"可能很快会被放弃，故选D。 D Dive into the classical world via the remains of an ancient merchant ship that dates all the way back to 5 BC as Greece is constructing its first underwater museum. Some of Greece’s vast heritage of ancient shipwrecks are accessible to the public (divers and non-divers) for the first time ever in a series of underwater museums. The first opened on August 3, allowing visitors to explore the “Peristera shipwreck”, which has been at the bottom of the Aegean Sea for more than two thousand years after it sank in the 5th century BC near the northern Greek island of Alonissos. Since a fisherman discovered the ship in 1985, it has remained off-limits to the public but now visitors can explore it by sea or by virtual reality. Researchers believe it’s the most important shipwreck from the classical era. It had been believed that a trading ship of that type didn’t exist until the Roman era some 400 years later. So when it was discovered years ago, it completely changed our understanding of shipbuilding in the ancient world. Experts have yet to determine how or why it sank although there are some indications that a fire may have broken out. It’s believed that it was carrying 4, 000 vases of wine when it sank, most of which are still lying on the seabed, along with fishes and some little creatures who now call it home. Greece had banned diving until 2004 or so, due to worries that undersea ancient heritage would be taken away but now the country is wholeheartedly hugging its rich underwater heritage. Access to the Peristera shipwreck is available through a new project that will create underwater museums across the Greek islands over the next two years. Divers will be able to tour the shipwreck with licensed guides and non-divers can feel like they’re underwater with virtual reality information centres on land. 12. What is the main idea of the text? A. An underwater museum is under construction. B. An ancient merchant ship is discovered. C. Greece is trying to protect its heritage. D. Divers are interested in Greece. 13. How long has the ship remained off-limits to the public? A. For about 2,000 years. B. For about 400 years. C. For about 40 years. D. For about 20 years. 14. Why do researchers regard it as the most important shipwreck? A. It carried 4,000 vases of valuable wine. B. It becomes the first underwater museum. C. It corrected some of our misunderstanding. D. It is the oldest merchant ship in the world. 15. What can be inferred from the text? A. Some virtual reality equipment is on the ship. B. All the visitors need to stay underwater to visit. C. A fire must have broken out on the ancient ship. D. There is more than one way to visit the museum. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍希腊正在筹建第一家水下博物馆。 【详解】1.主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Dive into the classical world via the remains of an ancient merchant ship that dates all the way back to 5 BC as Greece is constructing its first underwater museum.(通过一艘可以追溯到公元前5年的古代商船的遗骸潜入古典世界，希腊正在建造它的第一个水下博物馆。)”可知，本文主要介绍了希腊正在筹建第一家水下博物馆。故选A项。 2.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Since a fisherman discovered the ship in 1985,it has remained off-limits to the public but now visitors can explore it by sea or by virtual reality.(自1985年一名渔民发现这艘船以来，公众一直禁止进入，但现在游客可以通过海上或虚拟现实探索它。)”可知该沉船从1985年与大众隔绝至今，由此可以计算出大约40年。故选C项。 3. 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“So when it was discovered years ago.it completely changed our understanding of shipbuilding in the ancient world.(所以当它在几年前被发现时，它彻底改变了我们对古代造船的理解。)”可知该发现重要的原因是它完全改变了我们对于远古时代商船建造的错误观点。故选C项。 4. 推理判断题。根据最后一句“Divers will be able to tour the shipwreck with licensed guides and non-divers can feel like they're underwater with virtual reality information centres on land.(潜水员可以在领有执照的导游陪同下游览沉船，而非潜水员可以通过陆地上的虚拟现实信息中心感觉自己在水下。)”可知参观并非只有水下这一种形式。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。 Aspiring poets may be intimidated（胆怯）the first time they sit down to write a poem.

If you don't feel you have exactly the right words to open your poem, don't give up there. ____17____ Start small.

You'd be surprised how many professional writers also make use of these tools. Just be sure you understand the true meaning of the words you insert into your poem. ____19____ . Like any form of writing, poetry is enhanced by literary devices.

F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了几个帮助你开始写诗的方法。 【16题详解】 根据“This is hardly unusual, but the good news is that once ideas begin to flow, the craft of poetry is remarkably satisfying.( 这并不罕见，但好消息是，一旦思想开始流动，诗歌的技艺就非常令人满意)”以及接下来所给出的几点建议可知，有抱负的诗人刚开始坐下来写诗的时候可能会感到害怕，但是一旦思想开始流动，结果就会非常令人满意。所以文章会介绍一些如何开始写作的建议。由此可知，B项“这里有几个提示可以帮助你开始写作”符合语境，能够承上启下。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据标题“Don't obsess about（纠结）your first line.(不要纠结你的第一行)”以及“If you don't feel you have exactly the right words to open your poem, don't give up there.(如果你觉得你没有合适的词来打开你的诗，不要放弃)”可知，如果你在写第一行时就没有灵感，不要纠结，也不要放弃。由此可知，E项“继续写，准备好后再写”符合语境，而且E项中的it指的是上文中的first line。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据标题“Get tools.(获取工具)”以及“ You’d be surprised how many professional writers also make use of these tools. (你会惊讶于有多少专业作家也在使用这些工具)”可知。很多作家也会选择一些工具。由此可知，空处和写作的工具有关。G项“如果押韵字典能帮你完成一首诗，你应该用它”符合语境，G项中的 a rhyming dictionary 和标题相呼应。故选G。 【19题详解】 根据“Like any form of writing, poetry is enhanced by literary devices. Develop your poetry writing skills by inserting metaphor, allegory, synecdoche, metonymy, imagery, and other literary devices into your poems.( 像任何形式的写作一样，诗歌也是通过文学手段来增强的。通过在你的诗歌中插入隐喻、寓言、提喻、转喻、意象和其他文学手段来发展你的诗歌写作技巧。尽可能地读诗)”可知，本段主要表述像任何形式的写作一样，诗歌也通过文学手法得到增强，并介绍了一些文学手法。由此可知，C项“用文学手法提升诗歌形式” 适合作为本段的主旨句。故选C。 【20题详解】 根据标题“Read poetry whenever possible.(尽可能地读诗)”以及“both the classics and living, working artists(既有经典，也有生活、工作的艺术家)”可知，本段主要介绍要尽可能的多读诗歌，不管是由经典的作家写的，还是生活、工作的艺术家写的。由此可知，F项“通过阅读其他诗人使诗歌的语言成为第二天性”符合语境，既能照应标题，也能呼应破折号后面的内容。故选F。 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 had a great dream when I was in my twenties.

One of his friends had stopped to make a bicycle repair, but they had encouraged Mac to carry on, and they would catch up with him soon. As Mac pedaled(骑行) along alone, he thought fondly of his wife and two young daughters at home. He hoped to show them this beautiful place someday. Then Mac heard quick and loud breathing behind him. ”Man, that’s a big dog!" he thought. But when he looked to the side, he saw instantly that it wasn’t a dog at all, but a wolf, quickly catching up with him. Mac’s heart jumped. He found out his can of bear spray. With one hand on the bars, he fired the spray at the wolf. A bright red cloud enveloped the animal, and to Mac’s relief, it fell back, shaking its head. But a minute later, it was by his side again. Then it attacked the back of Mac’s bike, tearing open his tent bag. He fired at the wolf a second time, and again, it fell back only to quickly restart the chase(追赶). Mac was pedaling hard now. He waved and yelled at passing cars but was careful not to slow down. He saw a steep uphill climb before him. He knew that once he hit the hill, he’d be easily caught up and the wolf’s teeth would be tearing into his flesh. At this moment, Paul and Becky were driving their car on their way to Alaska. They didn’t think much of it when they saw two cyclists repairing their bike on the side of the road. A bit later, they spotted what they, too, assumed was a dog running alongside a man on a bike. As they got closer, they realized that the dog was a wolf. Mac heard a large vehicle behind him. He pulled in front of it as the wolf was catching up fast, just a dozen yards away now. 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。 The car abruptly stopped in front of him. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few minutes later, the other two cyclists arrived. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: The car abruptly stopped in front of him. Mac jumped off his bicycle and rushed to the door of the car. But before Mac could open the door, the wolf had caught up and jumped to attack. Luckily, the magic spray saved Mac a third time. Seeing the wolf back off, Paul quickly unlocked the door, and the frightened man climbed into the car in no time, shutting the door behind him heavily. Becky looked out of the back window and saw the wolf standing over Mac’s bicycle as if it were a kill. Soon after, the animal ran off. Paragraph 2: A few minutes later, the other two cyclists arrived. Mac got out of the car and hugged his friends. “It was really a nightmare and I thought I was going to die,” said Mac in a shaky voice, tears gathering in his eyes. For him, life could never be more beautiful. After saying goodbye to Paul and Becky with gratitude, the three men continued their trip, agreeing never to separate again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述Mac Hollan在与朋友一起骑行时，一位朋友停下来修自行车，他们鼓励Mac Hollan一个人先骑走，说等会就会赶上来。结果，Mac Hollan不幸遇到了一头狼，在逃生中，遇到了驾车的Paul 和Becky。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这辆车突然停在了他面前。”可知，第一段可描写Paul 和Becky帮助Mac成功逃离狼口的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“几分钟后，其他两位骑行的人也到了。”可知，第二段可描写Mac告诉自己的两位朋友自己死里逃生的经历，表达对Paul 和Becky的感谢以及感悟。 2.续写线索：Mac跳下自行车跑向汽车——狼攻击——Paul和Becky想法救助——Mac安全——遇见朋友并诉说事情的经过——感谢Paul和Becky——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看见：see/notice/observe ②拥抱：hug/embrace/hold in arms ③继续：continue/go on/keep on 情绪类 ①感谢：appreciation/gratitude ②害怕：frightened/horrified 【点睛】[高分句型1] Becky looked out of the back window and saw the wolf standing over Mac’s bicycle as if it were a kill.（由连接词as if引导的状语从句） [高分句型2]“It was really a nightmare and I thought I was going to die,” said Mac in a shaky voice, tears gathering in his eyes.（运用了that引导的宾语从句且省略了that以及非谓语中的独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 渝西中学高二（下）4月月考英语试题 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.

B One Sunday night, a high school student, Rory Campbell, heard noises next door to his home in Bonita Mews, off St Asaph Road, Brockley. When he went outside, he saw his neighbor climbing out of a front window of his second floor flat, which was on fire. He then saw the man covered in black soot(黑灰), shouting for help. The 15-year-old boy called the fire service and tried to calm the neighbor, who is in his thirties, until firefighters arrived. Rory said, “He was shouting ‘Help me, help me! Get a ladder, get a ladder!’ He was a bit hysterical(歇斯底里的). I didn’t have time to think. I just tried to calm him by telling him the firefighters were on the way.” Rory was told by the man that the fire had been caused by a candle falling over. Firefighters from New Cross, Peckham, Lewisham and Forest Hill rescued the man by ladder and got the fire under control within minutes of arriving. The man was taken to a south London hospital where he is still recovering from smoke inhalation(吸入). 25% of the flat was damaged by the fire. Rory, studying music, added, “As the man walked past me, he said ‘Thanks’ and that meant a lot to me. I do feel good because I helped save his life.” Another neighbor said, “I heard a lot of noise but thought it was coming from the railway opposite. I couldn’t believe it when I saw the man hanging there. The boy next door really did save his life by calling the firefighters.” 4. According to the passage, what caused the fire? A. Rory’s smoking. B. Careless cooking. C. The gas fire. D. A lighted candle. 5. Before the firefighters arrived what did Rory do? A. He lighted the candle. B. He calmed his neighbor. C. He closed doors to stop the fire. D. He held a ladder. 6. How was the man rescued? A. He was rescued by ladder. B. The boy carried him out. C. He was carried by a firefighter who got into the room. D. He got out himself. 7. It can be inferred from the passage that _______. A. much of the flat was destroyed B. Rory was sent to hospital for injuries C. Rory studied music D. Rory led an important part in saving the man’s life C There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier, "Paper or plastic？"Well, which type of bag would you choose？ While both types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are kinder. They are made from a renewable source, are broken down easily, burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled. However, the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true？ Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production. And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times higher. Besides, the influence on forests is very serious. It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags, which happen to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling, the idea that paper bags are more environment friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded. Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does to recycle paper. Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones, plastic still seems to be considered as the more harmful of the two by governments. In Ireland, for example, a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags. People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag, and as a result, their use has dropped quickly. There’s no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However, we don’t seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so, cloth bags are a better choice, but still, their production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what to do? How should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic?” It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question: “What can I do to help the environment?” 8. The question at the end of Paragraph 1 is used to ________. A. introduce points for discussion B. tell readers how to save money C. express the author's doubts D. show the kindness of the cashier 9. Compared with plastic bags paper bags ________. A. take more time to break down B. require less energy to recycle C. need more water to produce D. have less influence on forests 10. The underlined word “discarded” in Paragraph 3 probably means "________". A. share B. put forward C. discuss D. give up 11. Which question does the author probably hope the cashier ask? A. Paper or cloth? B. A new bag or your own one? C. A small bag or big one? D. Paper or plastic？ D Dive into the classical world via the remains of an ancient merchant ship that dates all the way back to 5 BC as Greece is constructing its first underwater museum. Some of Greece’s vast heritage of ancient shipwrecks are accessible to the public (divers and non-divers) for the first time ever in a series of underwater museums. The first opened on August 3, allowing visitors to explore the “Peristera shipwreck”, which has been at the bottom of the Aegean Sea for more than two thousand years after it sank in the 5th century BC near the northern Greek island of Alonissos. Since a fisherman discovered the ship in 1985, it has remained off-limits to the public but now visitors can explore it by sea or by virtual reality. Researchers believe it’s the most important shipwreck from the classical era. It had been believed that a trading ship of that type didn’t exist until the Roman era some 400 years later. So when it was discovered years ago, it completely changed our understanding of shipbuilding in the ancient world. Experts have yet to determine how or why it sank although there are some indications that a fire may have broken out. It’s believed that it was carrying 4, 000 vases of wine when it sank, most of which are still lying on the seabed, along with fishes and some little creatures who now call it home. Greece had banned diving until 2004 or so, due to worries that undersea ancient heritage would be taken away but now the country is wholeheartedly hugging its rich underwater heritage. Access to the Peristera shipwreck is available through a new project that will create underwater museums across the Greek islands over the next two years. Divers will be able to tour the shipwreck with licensed guides and non-divers can feel like they’re underwater with virtual reality information centres on land. 12. What is the main idea of the text? A. An underwater museum is under construction. B. An ancient merchant ship is discovered. C. Greece is trying to protect its heritage. D. Divers are interested in Greece. 13. How long has the ship remained off-limits to the public? A. For about 2,000 years. B. For about 400 years. C. For about 40 years. D. For about 20 years. 14. Why do researchers regard it as the most important shipwreck? A. It carried 4,000 vases of valuable wine. B It becomes the first underwater museum. C. It corrected some of our misunderstanding. D. It is the oldest merchant ship in the world. 15. What can be inferred from the text? A. Some virtual reality equipment is on the ship. B. All the visitors need to stay underwater to visit. C. A fire must have broken out on the ancient ship. D. There is more than one way to visit the museum. 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。 Aspiring poets may be intimidated（胆怯）the first time they sit down to write a poem.

One of his friends had stopped to make a bicycle repair, but they had encouraged Mac to carry on, and they would catch up with him soon. As Mac pedaled(骑行) along alone, he thought fondly of his wife and two young daughters at home. He hoped to show them this beautiful place someday. Then Mac heard quick and loud breathing behind him. ”Man, that’s a big dog!" he thought. But when he looked to the side, he saw instantly that it wasn’t a dog at all, but a wolf, quickly catching up with him. Mac’s heart jumped. He found out his can of bear spray. With one hand on the bars, he fired the spray at the wolf. A bright red cloud enveloped the animal, and to Mac’s relief, it fell back, shaking its head. But a minute later, it was by his side again. Then it attacked the back of Mac’s bike, tearing open his tent bag. He fired at the wolf a second time, and again, it fell back only to quickly restart the chase(追赶). Mac was pedaling hard now. He waved and yelled at passing cars but was careful not to slow down. He saw a steep uphill climb before him. He knew that once he hit the hill, he’d be easily caught up and the wolf’s teeth would be tearing into his flesh. At this moment, Paul and Becky were driving their car on their way to Alaska. They didn’t think much of it when they saw two cyclists repairing their bike on the side of the road. A bit later, they spotted what they, too, assumed was a dog running alongside a man on a bike. As they got closer, they realized that the dog was a wolf. Mac heard a large vehicle behind him. He pulled in front of it as the wolf was catching up fast, just a dozen yards away now. 注意：1、续写词数应150个左右; 2、请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The car abruptly stopped in front of him. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few minutes later, the other two cyclists arrived. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
