Peru is famously known as “Land of the Incas”. A trip to Peru has been on my wish list for quite a while. It was finally time for me to visit the country.
My first day started in Lima, the capital of Peru. I met with the G Adventures representative (代表) here about the tour. G Adventures is an organization that helps you to connect with other like-minded people in small group-based travel adventures. They played a big part in helping to make Peru an unforgettable experience for me! In Lima, my representative discussed the plan of my tour, and I also had the chance to explore Lima in my own time, with many activities, including a city tour, show, biking tour, and more.
Day two had me taking a flight from Lima to Cusco. Many people visit Cusco for shopping but for me, the main reason for spending a day or two in Cusco was to acclimatize (适应) to the altitude (海拔). As I’d decided to reach the wonder of Machu Picchu, acclimatizing became important to avoid altitude sickness. I was happy to spend a day exploring Cusco. Cusco was once the capital of the Inca Empire. Today, it’s famous for its artists, paintings, clothing and traditional instruments. There’s something for everyone in this city.
The day finally came! Day three had me enjoying a lovely guided visit to Machu Picchu at sunrise. I had free time to explore the city on my own as well as with my guide. It was a lot to take in! I had to stop for a moment and felt the energy of such an ancient city. The history here was unbelievable and I will never forget my time here for as long as I live!
24. What is the author’s attitude to G Adventures?
A. Doubtful. B. Satisfied. C. Uninterested. D. Hopeful.
25. Why did the author stay in Cusco?
A. To go shopping. B. To find a local guide.
C. To get used to the high altitude. D. To do research about the Inca Empire.
26. How did the author feel when traveling around Machu Picchu?
A. Full of excitement. B. Out of luck.
C. Lost in doubt. D. Deep in regret.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. My love of traveling B. My wonderful trip to Peru
C. Peru: “Land of the Incas”. D. Traveling: the future of Peru.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者旅游秘鲁的故事。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“G Adventures is an organization that helps you to connect with other like-minded people in small group-based travel adventures. They played a big part in helping to make Peru an unforgettable experience for me!”(G Adventures是一个组织,它可以帮助你与其他志同道合的人在小型团体旅行冒险中建立联系。他们在让秘鲁成为我难忘的经历中发挥了重要作用!)可推知,作者对G Adventures的态度是很满意的。故选B项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Many people visit Cusco for shopping but for me, the main reason for spending a day or two in Cusco was to acclimatize (适应) to the altitude (海拔).”(很多人来库斯科是为了购物,但对我来说,在库斯科呆一两天的主要原因是为了适应这里的海拔高度。)可知,作者留在库斯科是为了适应高海拔。故选C项。
【26题详解】

The history here was unbelievable and I will never forget my time here for as long as I live!”(第三天,在导游的带领下,我在日出时分游览了马丘比丘。我有空闲时间独自探索这座城市,也有时间和我的导游一起探索。这可真让人难以接受!我不得不停下来片刻,感受这样一个古老城市的活力。这里的历史令人难以置信,只要我活着,我就永远不会忘记我在这里的时光!)可推知,在马丘比丘旅行时,作者心里充满激动。故选A项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Peru is famously known as “Land of the Incas”. A trip to Peru has been on my wish list for quite a while. It was finally time for me to visit the country.”(秘鲁以“印加人之地”而闻名。去秘鲁旅行已经在我的愿望清单上很久了。终于到了我访问这个国家的时候了。)和后文内容可知,本文主要讲述了作者拜访秘鲁的旅行。所以B项“My wonderful trip to Peru.”(我愉快的秘鲁之旅)切合文意。故选B项。

Have you ever thought about why malls, restaurants, and even theaters have music? Well, to understand this, you simply just look back at how you felt when you heard music in these places. Music is known to improve the mood of people. Often music helps us pay attention to what we are doing. Music helps patients feel good and helps them recover faster and better.
Depression (沮丧) is a state of mind that most of us experience at some point of time. There are some periods in our life when everything seems difficult. It seems that everything is getting worse and we have no control over our life. Studies have shown that music can be an important mood (情绪) lifter in such situations. Music also plays a great role in making us feel less nervous or worried. Anxiety can often cause loss of sleep and other illnesses.
Music is often known as an international language. We may not know the language another person is speaking, but most of us respond to music in the same way. Music can often be the best way to connect with someone.
Music is one of the best ways to improve your moods, but this can depend largely on the kind of music you listen to. While happy music can certainly make you feel better, sad music can further lower your spirits. Listening to classical music can often make you feel a lot more energetic, while soft music can be the perfect way to relax at the end of a long day. If you want to use music to change the way how you are feeling, you need to understand the role of it, learn to recognize the kind of music that lifts your mood and helps you feel better. Once you realize the kind of music you can use, you can use it to change the way you feel. The right kind of music can be the perfect way to help us feel happier.

“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” But now scientists have given us another warning: too much play with smart phones or computers makes you dull too.
“Many focus on the benefits of digital devices (设备) in education but ignore the costs,”said Patricia Greenfield from the University of California, “losing the ability to understand the emotions of other people is one of the costs.”Greenfield and her research team did an experiment. They worked with 105 children who spent about 4.5 hours in front of screens on a school day. The students were asked to describe the emotions towards the pictures of people who were happy, sad, angry, or scared. Then, half of them attended a five-day nature and science camp. There they had no smart phones, TV, or computers. The other half stayed in school and spent the five days as usual. Five days later, all the children took the test again.
Students who had been to the camp got about 5 percent more answers correct than they had done before the camp. But the other group of students didn’t show much improvement. The study is not perfect in some ways, said the researchers. But scientists say that the study is still a warning for us.
“Emotional skills develop in practice and the brain develops through real interaction,” said Professor Taylor, a professor at the University of San Francisco.
Researchers talked to 2,000 parents of children aged 2-16 in the UK about what activities their children could do confidently. The results were shocking: Their children could use a tablet (平板电脑) (59%) and work a mobile phone (57%) more confidently than they could tie their shoelaces (鞋带) (53%)! So, spend more time away from mobile phones and computers if you want to be an understanding friend, and not a member of what the Daily Mail called “Generation Helpless”.
32. What is a problem of using digital media in education according to Professor Greenfield?
A. Having bad relationships with family members.
B. Failing to focus on their schoolwork.
C. Being addicted to online games.
D. Being unable to understand others’ emotions.
33. How do scientists like the results of Greenfield’s experiment?
A. They are alarming. B. They are far from perfect.
C. They still need to be improved. D. They are quite reasonable.
34. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Students learned how to express emotions in the experiment.
B. Students attending the camp did much better in their studies.
C. Too much play with digital devices caused some concerns.
D. More than half of the children in the UK couldn’t tie their shoelaces.
35. What is the author’s advice for readers at the end of the text?
A. To use your smart phones and computers less.
B. To learn to tie your shoelaces confidently.
C. To learn to be an understanding friend.
D. To make more friends through your smart phones.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,文章讲述了一项关于人们长期接触电子产品造成的影响的研究结果:长期接触电子产品会让人缺失一些情感因素并且降低对他人情绪的理解能力。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Many focus on the benefits of digital devices in education but ignore the costs,’ said Patricia Greenfield from the University of California,“losing the ability to understand the emotions of other people is one of the costs.”(加州大学的Patricia Greenfield说:许多人只关注数字设备在教育中的好处,却忽略了其代价。失去理解他人情绪的能力是代价之一。)”,Patricia Greenfield教授认为,在教育中使用数字媒体带来的一个问题是无法理解他人的情绪,故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The study is not perfect in some ways, said the researchers. But scientists say that the study is still a warning for us.(研究人员说,从某些方面上来说这项研究并不完美,但是科学家说这项研究仍然是对我们的一个警告。)”,科学家们对Patricia Greenfield的实验结果感到担心,故选A项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“But now scientists have given us another warning: too much play with smart phones or computers makes you dull too.(但是现在科学家们还给了我们另一个警告:过度玩智能手机或电脑也会让你变傻。)”及最后一段的“The results were shocking.(结果令人震惊。)”可知,过多地使用数字设备引发了一些担忧,故选C项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“So, spend more time away from mobile phones and computers if you want to be an understanding friend,and not a member of what the Daily Mail called ‘Generation Helpless’.(所以,如果你想成为一个善解人意的朋友,而不是《每日邮报》所说的无助的一代,那就远离手机和电脑吧。)”可知,作者建议少使用手机和电脑,故选A项。

Not surprisingly, technology is responsible ____58____ a lot of new words. For example, “blog”, which is a shortened form of “weblog”, was created due to Internet use.

【答案】56. greatly
57. reasons
58. for 59. communicating##communication
60. quicker
61. a 62. is used
63. which 64. their
65. spoken
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。文章介绍了词汇变化的几个原因。
【56题详解】
考查副词。句意:新词随着世界的巨大变化而诞生。 修饰动词changing用副词作状语,故填greatly。
【57题详解】
考查名词。句意:这些变化有一些原因。reason是可数名词,由some修饰用复数,故填reasons
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意:毫不奇怪,科技是产生很多新词的原因。be responsible for“为……负责,形成……的原因”是固定短语,根据句意,故填for。
【59题详解】
考查动名词或名词。句意:此外,新的交流方式也创造了新的语言。介词后接动名词或者名词作宾语,communication“交流”不可数名词,故填communicating/communication。
【60题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:当他们在手机上互相发短信时,朋友们倾向于使用一种更快、更简单的方式,比如“cu18”和“lol”。and连接“quick”和easier作并列定语,根据句意,用形容词比较级表示这样的方式更快更容易,故填quicker。
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意:第三,青少年对某些词的新含义有很大的影响。have a great influence on“对……有极大影响”是固定短语,泛指“一种……影响”,用不定冠词,故填a。
【62题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:例如,“sick”被用来意味着“伟大”,“Wassup”的意味着“你好”。文章主时态是一般现在时,讲述现在的事实,主语“sick”与谓语动词use是被动关系,用被动语态,且主语是单数,谓语动词用单数,故填is used。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:最后一个原因是全球化,这是一种在全球传播英语的有效方式。分析句子可知,空格处引导定语从句,修饰globalization,从句中作主语,指物,引导非限制性定语从句用关系代词which,故填which。
【64题详解】
考查代词。句意:不是以英语为母语的人正在创造他们自己的语言形式,叫做全球化语言。one’s own“某人自己的”,根据前文的speakers可知,one’s用形容词物主代词their代替,故填their。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:全球化语言有一天会成为世界上最常被讲的语言吗?分析句子可知,speak修饰language作定语,根据句意,二者之间是被动关系,故用过去分词作定语,故填spoken。

67. 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。
One noon, Mark knocked at the door, saying, “Take the letter.” Then, a little girl answered from inside, “I’m coming.” But after 3 minutes, no one came. Mark, the postman, said again, “Please hurry. I have to go to the next place.”
The girl, Jane, replied, “Sir, put the letter under the door. I’m coming. But it’ll take more time.” The old postman replied, “No, I’m waiting. It’s a registered letter. So your signature is needed.”
After a long time, the door open. Mark was angry and was about to shout at the girl. But when the door opened, he was shocked to see a little girl who had no legs. He immediately had great pity for her. He quietly gave her the letter, took her signature and left.
The little girl often lived alone in her house. Her mother wasn’t in this world. And her father used to work far away. He wasn’t rich and could not buy the girl prostheses(假肢). To take care of her, her aunt stayed with her every night. But she lived alone during the day.
In about two months, whenever mail came, Mark would knock and call Jane. Then he’d wait patiently at the door. Gradually, interaction and attachment(依恋) grew between them. And they learned more about each other.
Jane noticed Mark used to come barefoot(赤脚) to deliver mail. The rainy season came. One day, when Mark left after delivering the letter, his footprints were left on the wet soil. Jane came out with a piece of paper, put it on the footprints and took down the picture of his feet. Then she handed her aunt the pocket money she had saved, and asked her to get shoes of that size and keep them in the house.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右。2. 请按如下格式作答。
Days later, Jane heard the old postman knock on her door.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“I can’t give her legs, but I can give her prostheses,” Mark suddenly thought, and decided to buy.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Days later, Jane heard the old postman knock on her door. Smiling, she opened the door and took the mail from Mark. Then she handed him a box, saying, “This is a gift for you.” Mark opened the box, seeing a pair of new shoes. He couldn’t believe Jane was concerned about him. Mark was moved to tears. He thanked her and left. “She saw me barefoot and gave me new shoes. But how will I be able to give her legs?” he thought to himself.
“I can’t give her legs, but I can give her prostheses,” Mark suddenly thought, and decided to buy. He quickly went back home and took all the money he had saved for years. Then he returned to Jane’s house. Mark offered to take Jane to town to buy prostheses. Jane couldn’t believe her ears, but she declined. Mark was so determined that eventually she agreed to go. When Jane wore prostheses and walked around, they were so glad about each other’s gift, which brought great warmth and hope.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了有一天邮差Mark在送信时认识了一个没有腿的女孩Jane,因家庭贫穷Jane买不起假肢,Mark每次给Jane送信时都会耐心地在门口等,两人渐渐地产生了依恋,Jane注意到Mark经常光着脚送信,于是她用零花钱买下一双适合Mark尺码的鞋子。

②由第二段首句内容“‘我不能给她腿,但我可以给她假肢,’Mark突然想,决定去买。”可知,第二段可描写Mark给Jane买假肢的经过。

A
India is an ancient civilization with rich cultural heritage, and its cultural heritage has something to do with all major religions(宗教) of the world. Here we take a look at some of the top heritage destinations in India.
Sun Temple, Konark
As the name suggests, this temple is all about the power of the sun God. A huge chariot (二轮战车) drawn by seven horses and twelve pairs of wheels show the importance which ancient people placed on the power of the sun. The pictures of animals and humans give this place a special look.
Churches Goa
Goa is the only Indian state which was controlled by the Portuguese (葡萄牙人), so the scene in Goa is dotted with (点缀着) Portuguese style churches. Some of the famous churches include the church of Saint Catherine, church of Saint Augustine and church of saint Francis of Assisi. These churches show beautiful paintings and flower designs which make them a must visit.
Ajanta and Ellora Caves
These caves contain well designed paintings which are widely regarded as the most outstanding works of religious art.
Taj Mahal, Agra
Built on the bank of the Yamuna River, it is an excellent building. The writing and paintings on the outside structure provide the finest examples of the outstanding style of buildings.
Sanchi
Sanchi is a UNESCO world heritage site with numerous Buddhist temples dating back to the seventh and eighth centuries.
On your visit to India, be sure to visit some of these heritage destinations. An Indian journey is not wonderful without experiencing the beauty of these heritage destinations.
21. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Indian cultural heritage has something to do with religions.

Peru is famously known as “Land of the Incas” A trip to Peru has been on my wish list for quite a while. It was finally time for me to visit the country.
My first day started in Lima, the capital of Peru. I met with the G Adventures representative (代表) here about the tour. G Adventures is an organization that helps you to connect with other like-minded people in small group-based travel adventures. They played a big part in helping to make Peru an unforgettable experience for me! In Lima, my representative discussed the plan of my tour, and I also had the chance to explore Lima in my own time, with many activities, including a city tour, show, biking tour, and more.
Day two had me taking a flight from Lima to Cusco. Many people visit Cusco for shopping but for me, the main reason for spending a day or two in Cusco was to acclimatize (适应) to the altitude (海拔). As I’d decided to reach the wonder of Machu Picchu, acclimatizing became important to avoid altitude sickness. I was happy to spend a day exploring Cusco. Cusco was once the capital of the Inca Empire. Today, it’s famous for its artists, paintings, clothing and traditional instruments. There’s something for everyone in this city.
The day finally came! Day three had me enjoying a lovely guided visit to Machu Picchu at sunrise. I had free time to explore the city on my own as well as with my guide. It was a lot to take in! I had to stop for a moment and felt the energy of such an ancient city. The history here was unbelievable and I will never forget my time here for as long as I live!

Have you ever thought about why malls, restaurants, and even theaters have music? Well, to understand this, you simply just look back at how you felt when you heard music in these places. Music is known to improve the mood of people. Often music helps us pay attention to what we are doing. Music helps patients feel good and helps them recover faster and better.
Depression (沮丧) is a state of mind that most of us experience at some point of time. There are some periods in our life when everything seems difficult. It seems that everything is getting worse and we have no control over our life. Studies have shown that music can be an important mood (情绪) lifter in such situations. Music also plays a great role in making us feel less nervous or worried. Anxiety can often cause loss of sleep and other illnesses.
Music is often known as an international language. We may not know the language another person is speaking, but most of us respond to music in the same way. Music can often be the best way to connect with someone.
Music is one of the best ways to improve your moods, but this can depend largely on the kind of music you listen to. While happy music can certainly make you feel better, sad music can further lower your spirits. Listening to classical music can often make you feel a lot more energetic, while soft music can be the perfect way to relax at the end of a long day. If you want to use music to change the way how you are feeling, you need to understand the role of it, learn to recognize the kind of music that lifts your mood and helps you feel better. Once you realize the kind of music you can use, you can use it to change the way you feel. The right kind of music can be the perfect way to help us feel happier.

“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” But now scientists have given us another warning: too much play with smart phones or computers makes you dull too.
“Many focus on the benefits of digital devices (设备) in education but ignore the costs,”said Patricia Greenfield from the University of California, “losing the ability to understand the emotions of other people is one of the costs.”Greenfield and her research team did an experiment. They worked with 105 children who spent about 4.5 hours in front of screens on a school day. The students were asked to describe the emotions towards the pictures of people who were happy, sad, angry, or scared. Then, half of them attended a five-day nature and science camp. There they had no smart phones, TV, or computers. The other half stayed in school and spent the five days as usual. Five days later, all the children took the test again.
Students who had been to the camp got about 5 percent more answers correct than they had done before the camp. But the other group of students didn’t show much improvement. The study is not perfect in some ways, said the researchers. But scientists say that the study is still a warning for us.
“Emotional skills develop in practice and the brain develops through real interaction,” said Professor Taylor, a professor at the University of San Francisco.
Researchers talked to 2,000 parents of children aged 2-16 in the UK about what activities their children could do confidently. The results were shocking: Their children could use a tablet (平板电脑) (59%) and work a mobile phone (57%) more confidently than they could tie their shoelaces (鞋带) (53%)! So, spend more time away from mobile phones and computers if you want to be an understanding friend, and not a member of what the Daily Mail called “Generation Helpless”.
32. What is a problem of using digital media in education according to Professor Greenfield?
A Having bad relationships with family members.
B. Failing to focus on their schoolwork.
C. Being addicted to online games.
D. Being unable to understand others’ emotions.
33. How do scientists like the results of Greenfield’s experiment?
A. They are alarming. B. They are far from perfect.
C. They still need to be improved. D. They are quite reasonable.
34. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Students learned how to express emotions in the experiment.
B Students attending the camp did much better in their studies.
C. Too much play with digital devices caused some concerns.
D. More than half of the children in the UK couldn’t tie their shoelaces.
35. What is the author’s advice for readers at the end of the text?
A. To use your smart phones and computers less.
B. To learn to tie your shoelaces confidently.
C. To learn to be an understanding friend.
D. To make more friends through your smart phones.

One noon, Mark knocked at the door, saying, “Take the letter.” Then, a little girl answered from inside, “I’m coming.” But after 3 minutes, no one came. Mark, the postman, said again, “Please hurry. I have to go to the next place.”
The girl, Jane, replied, “Sir, put the letter under the door. I’m coming. But it’ll take more time.” The old postman replied, “No, I’m waiting. It’s a registered letter. So your signature is needed.”
After a long time, the door open. Mark was angry and was about to shout at the girl. But when the door opened, he was shocked to see a little girl who had no legs. He immediately had great pity for her. He quietly gave her the letter, took her signature and left.
The little girl often lived alone in her house. Her mother wasn’t in this world. And her father used to work far away. He wasn’t rich and could not buy the girl prostheses(假肢). To take care of her, her aunt stayed with her every night. But she lived alone during the day.
In about two months, whenever mail came, Mark would knock and call Jane. Then he’d wait patiently at the door. Gradually, interaction and attachment(依恋) grew between them. And they learned more about each other.
Jane noticed Mark used to come barefoot(赤脚) to deliver mail. The rainy season came. One day, when Mark left after delivering the letter, his footprints were left on the wet soil. Jane came out with a piece of paper, put it on the footprints and took down the picture of his feet. Then she handed her aunt the pocket money she had saved, and asked her to get shoes of that size and keep them in the house.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右。2. 请按如下格式作答。
Days later, Jane heard the old postman knock on her door.
