B There are more bicycles than residents in the Netherlands and in cities like Amsterdam up to 70% of all journeys are made by bike. The BBC’s reporter, Anna Holligan, examines what made everyone get back on the bike. Before World War Ⅱ, journeys in the Netherlands were mainly made by bike, but in the 1950s and 1960s, as car ownership increased quickly, this changed. The jump in car number caused a huge rise in the number of deaths on the roads. In 1971 more than 3,000 people were killed by motor vehicles, and 450 of them were children. In response a social movement demanding safer cycling conditions for children was formed. Called Stop de Kindermoord, it took its name from the headline of an article written by journalist Vic Langenhoff whose own child had been killed in a road accident. The Dutch love of the motor vehicle was also shaken by the Middle East oil crisis of 1973, when oil­producing countries stopped export to the US and Western Europe. These twin pressures helped to persuade the Dutch government to invest in improving cycling facilities and the Dutch urban planners started to change from the road­building policies designed mainly for cars. To make cycling safer and more inviting, the Dutch have built a vast network of cycle paths. These are clearly marked, have smooth surfaces, separate signs and lights for those on two wheels, and are wide enough to allow cycling side by side and overtaking. Even before they can walk Dutch children live in a world of cycling. As babies they travel in special seats on bikes. As the children grow up, they ride their own bikes. And, as the Dutch are not allowed to drive until 18, cycling offers teenagers an alternative form of freedom. The state also plays a part in teaching, with cycling lessons a required part in Dutch schools. All schools have places to park bikes and at some schools 90% of pupils cycle to class. 24. What does Anna Holligan intend to find out? A. Why cycling is popular in the Netherlands. B. How journeys are made in the Netherlands. C. What’s the main means of transport in the Netherlands. D. What makes the children like cycling in the Netherlands. 25. Stop de Kindermoord is aimed at ________. A. advising people to travel by bike B. calling on more children to cycle C. improving cycling conditions for children D. asking the government to invest more in cycling 26. What resulted in the Dutch government’s changing road­building policies? A. More cars and road accidents. B. World War Ⅱ and higher oil prices. C. Road accidents and oil shortage. D. A social movement and oil crisis. 27. What do we learn about the Dutch children? A. They must get a license to ride a bike. B. They are not allowed to ride a bike until 18. C. They must have cycling lessons at school. D. They don’t use bikes when they are very young. C GUATEMALA CITY(Reuters)— A fish that lives in mangrove swamps (红树沼泽) across the Americas can live out of water for months at a time, similar to how animals adapted (适应) to land millions of years ago, a new study shows. The Mangrove Rivulus a type of small killifish, lives in small pools of water in a certain type of empty nut or even old beer cans in the mangrove swamps of Belize, the United States and Brazil. When their living place dries up, they live on the land in logs (圆木), said Scott Taylor, a researcher at the Brevard Endangered Lands Program in Florida. The fish, whose scientific name is Rivulus marmoratus, can grow as large as three inches. They group together in logs and breathe air through their skin until they can find water again. The new scientific discovery came after a trip to Belize. “We kicked over a log and the fish just came crowding out.” Taylor told Reuters in neighboring Guatemala by telephone. He said he will make his study on the fish known to the public in an American magazine early next year. In lab tests, Taylor said he found the fish can live up to 66 days out of water without eating. Some other fish can live out of water for a short period of time. The walking catfish found in Southeast Asia can stay on land for hours at a time, while lungfish found in Australia, Africa and South America can live out of water, but only in an inactive state. But no other known fish can be out of water as long as the Mangrove Rivulus and remain active, according to Patricia Wright, a biologist at Canada’s University of Guelph. Further studies of the fish may tell how animals changed over time. “These animals live in conditions similar to those that existed millions of years ago, when animals began making the transition (过渡) from water onto land,” Wright said. 28. The Mangrove Rivulus is a type of fish that__________. A. like eating nuts B. prefers living in dry places C. is the longest living fish on earth D. can stay alive for two months out of water 29. Who will write up a report on Mangrove Rivulus? A. Patricia Wright B. Researchers in Guatemala C. Scientists from Belize D. Scott Taylor 30. According to the text, lungfish can__________. A. breathe through its skin B. move freely on dry land C. remain alive out of water D. be as active on land as in water 31. What can we say about the discovery of Mangrove Rivulus? A. It was made quite by accident B. It was based on a lab test of sea life C. It was supported by an American magazine D. It was helped by Patricia Wright D The American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James Franklin, Benjamin’s older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects. Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin’s Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed from will remain alive for long. Newspaper companies are losing advertisers(广告商)，readers, market value, and in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor(主编) of the Times said recently, “At places where they gather, editors ask one another, ‘How are you?’, as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law case.” An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guandian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET.” Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet, which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years. The New York Times Company has seen its stock(股票) drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock-holders sell off their Times stock. The Washington Post Company has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education; its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the company’s income. 32. What can we learn about the New England Courant? A. It is mainly about the stock market. B. It marks the beginning of the American newspaper. C. It remains a successful newspaper in America. D. It carries articles by political leaders. 33. What can we infer about the newspaper editors? A. They often accept readers’ suggestions. B. They care a lot about each other’s health. C. They stop doing business with advertisers. D. They face great difficulties in their business. 34. Which of the following found a new way for its development? A. The Washington Post. B. The Guardian. C. The New York Times. D. New England Courant. 35. How does the author seem to feel about the future of newspapers? A. Satisfied. B. Hopeful. C. Worried. D. Surprised. 第二节（共 5 小题, 每小题 2.5 分, 满分 12.5 分） 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。请将答案写在答题卷上。 Helping Your Kids to Be Interested in Sports Being active and moving is something that is so important for us all, especially for children. _____36_____ However, some parents can feel shocked when they see that their child isn’t interested in sports.

This will make them resent(讨厌) it, which is not a good thing for later in life. If they show particular skill and learn to play sport, then more practice and training can come in. _____40_____ When they can enjoy what they do, they will only see it as something fun to do, rather than what we as adults might see it as, such as a chore to burn calories. Whatever sport your child chooses to play, encourage them and make it fun, and then it will be something that they will want to carry on doing as they go about the rest of their lives. A. They won’t be interested in sports if you’re not. B. here are some other tips that you would share with them. C. Share your enthusiasm and it will help to lighten a passion. D. So think about ways that can get them to be active in the sports. E. How active a child is will impact their overall health and learning. F.

Little did she know that she would run into something completely unusual the day. Just a mile into her walk, her eyes were drawn to a sight near the water’s edge. There lay a magnificent female mute swan. Rojas, who has experience working at the Wild Bird Fund rehab center in Manhattan, was well aware that mute swans could be quite aggressive. However, this particular swan was different. It remained still and made no move or attempt to attack as she drew closer. It was clear to her that there was something wrong with the swan and that it was in need of medical help. Rojas took immediate action. She slowly and tenderly covered the swan’s head with her jacket, hoping to keep it calm. Then, with utmost care, she picked the heavy bird up, holding it softly in her arms. The next challenge was discouraging. The rehab center was across the East River, on the other side of town. How could she carry such a huge swan out of here on her own? The thought alone almost made her desperate. Just when hope seemed to grow weaker, a man cycling by appeared at the end of the road and got nearer and nearer. There on the back seat of his bike was fixed a big-sized backpack. Rojas made two steps forward with efforts, “Help!” After several good glances at Rojas, the man stopped in front of her.

The BBC’s reporter, Anna Holligan, examines what made everyone get back on the bike. Before World War Ⅱ, journeys in the Netherlands were mainly made by bike, but in the 1950s and 1960s, as car ownership increased quickly, this changed. The jump in car number caused a huge rise in the number of deaths on the roads. In 1971 more than 3,000 people were killed by motor vehicles, and 450 of them were children. In response a social movement demanding safer cycling conditions for children was formed. Called Stop de Kindermoord, it took its name from the headline of an article written by journalist Vic Langenhoff whose own child had been killed in a road accident. The Dutch love of the motor vehicle was also shaken by the Middle East oil crisis of 1973, when oil­producing countries stopped export to the US and Western Europe. These twin pressures helped to persuade the Dutch government to invest in improving cycling facilities and the Dutch urban planners started to change from the road­building policies designed mainly for cars. To make cycling safer and more inviting, the Dutch have built a vast network of cycle paths. These are clearly marked, have smooth surfaces, separate signs and lights for those on two wheels, and are wide enough to allow cycling side by side and overtaking. Even before they can walk, Dutch children live in a world of cycling. As babies they travel in special seats on bikes. As the children grow up, they ride their own bikes. And, as the Dutch are not allowed to drive until 18, cycling offers teenagers an alternative form of freedom. The state also plays a part in teaching with cycling lessons a required part in Dutch schools. All schools have places to park bikes and at some schools 90% of pupils cycle to class. 24. What does Anna Holligan intend to find out? A. Why cycling is popular in the Netherlands. B. How journeys are made in the Netherlands. C. What’s the main means of transport in the Netherlands. D. What makes the children like cycling in the Netherlands. 25. Stop de Kindermoord is aimed at ________. A. advising people to travel by bike B. calling on more children to cycle C. improving cycling conditions for children D. asking the government to invest more in cycling 26. What resulted in the Dutch government’s changing road­building policies? A. More cars and road accidents. B. World War Ⅱ and higher oil prices. C. Road accidents and oil shortage. D. A social movement and oil crisis. 27. What do we learn about the Dutch children? A. They must get a license to ride a bike. B. They are not allowed to ride a bike until 18. C. They must have cycling lessons at school. D. They don’t use bikes when they are very young. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了荷兰自行车使用盛行的原因。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Amsterdam up to 70% of all journeys are made by bike. The BBC’s reporter, Anna Holligan, examines what made everyone get back on the bike.(阿姆斯特丹70%的出行都是骑自行车。BBC记者安娜·霍利根调查是什么让每个人重新骑上了自行车)”可知，安娜·霍利根想弄清楚为什么在荷兰骑自行车很受欢迎。故选A项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In response a social movement demanding safer cycling conditions for children was formed. Called Stop de Kindermoord(作为回应，一场要求为儿童提供更安全骑行条件的社会运动形成了。名为‘停止杀害儿童’)”可知，“Stop de Kindermoord”的目的是改善儿童的骑行条件。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The jump in car number caused a huge rise in the number of deaths on the roads.(汽车数量的激增导致道路上的死亡人数大幅增加)”、第四段“The Dutch love of the motor vehicle was also shaken by the Middle East oil crisis of 1973(1973年的中东石油危机也动摇了荷兰人对机动车的热爱)”和第五段“These twin pressures helped to persuade the Dutch government to invest in improving cycling facilities and the Dutch urban planners started to change from the road building policies designed mainly for cars.(这双重压力促使荷兰政府投资改善自行车设施，荷兰城市规划者开始改变主要为汽车设计的道路建设政策)”可知，道路事故激增和石油短缺导致荷兰政府改变道路建设政策。故选C项。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The state also plays a part in teaching, with cycling lessons a required part in Dutch schools.(政府在教育方面也发挥了作用，自行车课程是荷兰学校的必修课)”可知，荷兰孩子必须在学校上自行车课。故选C项。 C GUATEMALA CITY(Reuters)— A fish that lives in mangrove swamps (红树沼泽) across the Americas can live out of water for months at a time, similar to how animals adapted (适应) to land millions of years ago, a new study shows. The Mangrove Rivulus, a type of small killifish, lives in small pools of water in a certain type of empty nut or even old beer cans in the mangrove swamps of Belize, the United States and Brazil. When their living place dries up, they live on the land in logs (圆木), said Scott Taylor, a researcher at the Brevard Endangered Lands Program in Florida. The fish, whose scientific name is Rivulus marmoratus, can grow as large as three inches. They group together in logs and breathe air through their skin until they can find water again. The new scientific discovery came after a trip to Belize. “We kicked over a log and the fish just came crowding out.” Taylor told Reuters in neighboring Guatemala by telephone. He said he will make his study on the fish known to the public in an American magazine early next year. In lab tests, Taylor said he found the fish can live up to 66 days out of water without eating. Some other fish can live out of water for a short period of time. The walking catfish found in Southeast Asia can stay on land for hours at a time, while lungfish found in Australia, Africa and South America can live out of water, but only in an inactive state. But no other known fish can be out of water as long as the Mangrove Rivulus and remain active, according to Patricia Wright, a biologist at Canada’s University of Guelph. Further studies of the fish may tell how animals changed over time. “These animals live in conditions similar to those that existed millions of years ago, when animals began making the transition (过渡) from water onto land,” Wright said. 28. The Mangrove Rivulus is a type of fish that__________. A. like eating nuts B. prefers living in dry places C. is the longest living fish on earth D. can stay alive for two months out of water 29. Who will write up a report on Mangrove Rivulus? A. Patricia Wright B. Researchers in Guatemala C. Scientists from Belize D. Scott Taylor 30. According to the text, lungfish can__________. A. breathe through its skin B. move freely on dry land C. remain alive out of water D. be as active on land as in water 31. What can we say about the discovery of Mangrove Rivulus? A. It was made quite by accident B. It was based on a lab test of sea life C. It was supported by an American magazine D. It was helped by Patricia Wright 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了一种名为红树林鳉的鱼，这种鱼可以在离开水的情况下存活66天而不进食。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段关键句“In lab tests, Taylor said he found the fish can live up to 66 days out of water without eating.”（泰勒说，在实验室测试中，他发现这种鱼可以在离开水的情况下存活66天而不进食。）可知，这种鱼可以在离开水的情况下存活66天，句中的“the fish”特指上文提到的“Mangrove Rivulus”（红树林鳉），由此可知，红树林鳉是一种离开水可以存活两个月的鱼。故选D项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段内容““We kicked over a log and the fish just came crowding out.” Taylor told Reuters in neighboring Guatemala by telephone. He said he will make his study on the fish known to the public in an American magazine early next year.”（“我们踢翻了一根木头，鱼就挤了出来。”泰勒在邻国危地马拉通过电话告诉路透社。他说，他将于明年初在一本美国杂志上公布他对这种鱼的研究。）可知，泰勒将于明年初在一本美国杂志上公布他对红树林鳉的研究，由此可推断出，斯科特·泰勒将撰写一份关于红树林鳉的报告。故选D项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段关键句“The walking catfish found in Southeast Asia can stay on land for hours at a time, while lungfish found in Australia, Africa and South America can live out of water, but only in an inactive state.”（在东南亚发现的步行鲶鱼一次可以在陆地上停留数小时，而在澳大利亚、非洲和南美洲发现的肺鱼可以离开水生活，但只能处于非活动状态。）可知，在澳大利亚、非洲和南美洲发现的肺鱼可以离开水生活，由此可知，根据文章内容，肺鱼离开水可以存活。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段关键句“The new scientific discovery came after a trip to Belize.”（这项新的科学发现是在一次伯利兹之旅后发现的。）和第四段关键句“We kicked over a log and the fish just came crowding out.”（我们踢翻了一根木头，鱼就挤了出来。）可知，研究人员是偶然发现红树林鳉的，他们在伯利兹之旅中，偶然踢翻了一根木头，鱼就挤了出来，由此可推断出，关于发现红树林鳉这件事完全是偶然的。故选A项。 D The American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James Franklin, Benjamin’s older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects. Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin’s Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed from will remain alive for long. Newspaper companies are losing advertisers(广告商)，readers, market value, and in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor(主编) of the Times said recently, “At places where they gather, editors ask one another, ‘How are you?’, as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law case.” An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guandian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET.” Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet, which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years. The New York Times Company has seen its stock(股票) drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock-holders sell off their Times stock. The Washington Post Company has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education; its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the company’s income. 32. What can we learn about the New England Courant? A. It is mainly about the stock market. B. It marks the beginning of the American newspaper. C. It remains a successful newspaper in America. D. It carries articles by political leaders. 33. What can we infer about the newspaper editors? A. They often accept readers’ suggestions. B. They care a lot about each other’s health. C. They stop doing business with advertisers. D. They face great difficulties in their business. 34. Which of the following found a new way for its development? A. The Washington Post. B. The Guardian. C. The New York Times. D. New England Courant. 35. How does the author seem to feel about the future of newspapers? A. Satisfied. B. Hopeful. C. Worried. D. Surprised. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章给我们呈现了报业从起源到现在面临的困境——受到更多先进快捷媒体比如internet的冲击的现状。作者通过回顾和现状事实的描述，也表达了自己的担忧：未来报业何去何从？这篇文字设计上看，也没有更多的难度。总体文字流畅，事例逻辑表达完整。从问题的设计方面看，也没有过多的迷惑度。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In 1721, the printer James Franklin, Benjamin’s older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper.( 1721年，印刷工詹姆斯·富兰克林，本杰明的哥哥，创办了《新英格兰新闻报》，这就是我们今天可能认识到的真正的报纸。)”可知，《新英格兰新闻报》标志着美国报纸的开始。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。通过全文可知旨在说明报纸存在危机。尤其是文章第二段的编辑之间的谈话部分。可以推断出报纸编辑在工作中面临很大困难。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The Washington Post Company has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education; its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the company’s income.(《华盛顿邮报》只是通过将部分业务转向教育，才避免了这种麻烦;它的考试和备考服务现在为公司带来了至少一半的收入。)”可知，《华盛顿邮报》为它的发展找到了新的途径答案。故选A。 【35题详解】 推断判断题。通读全文，作者在列举报纸业所面临的种种问题，可以判断作者对此很担忧。故选C。 第二节（共 5 小题, 每小题 2.5 分, 满分 12.5 分） 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。请将答案写在答题卷上。 Helping Your Kids to Be Interested in Sports Being active and moving is something that is so important for us all, especially for children. _____36_____ However, some parents can feel shocked when they see that their child isn’t interested in sports.

Little did she know that she would run into something completely unusual the day. Just a mile into her walk, her eyes were drawn to a sight near the water’s edge. There lay a magnificent female mute swan. Rojas, who has experience working at the Wild Bird Fund rehab center in Manhattan, was well aware that mute swans could be quite aggressive. However, this particular swan was different. It remained still and made no move or attempt to attack as she drew closer. It was clear to her that there was something wrong with the swan and that it was in need of medical help. Rojas took immediate action. She slowly and tenderly covered the swan’s head with her jacket, hoping to keep it calm. Then, with utmost care, she picked the heavy bird up, holding it softly in her arms. The next challenge was discouraging. The rehab center was across the East River, on the other side of town. How could she carry such a huge swan out of here on her own? The thought alone almost made her desperate. Just when hope seemed to grow weaker, a man cycling by appeared at the end of the road and got nearer and nearer. There on the back seat of his bike was fixed a big-sized backpack. Rojas made two steps forward with efforts, “Help!” After several good glances at Rojas, the man stopped in front of her. With a concerned expression shifted from a confused one he asked “What’s wrong with the swan?” Rojas made a brief explanation as soon as she could, while the man listened attentively, his eyes fixed on the swan in her arms. 66. 根据文本内容从方框中选择恰当的词并用其正确形式填入下图中, 每词限用一次, 有两词为多余选项。 assist lie possible confuse explore approach expect attack gentle respond cycle curious Rojas, who worked at the Wild Bird Fund rehab center, started her______in the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge.

(在一个阳光明媚的日子里，Ariel Rojas在纽约皇后区的牙买加湾野生动物保护区开始了她令人兴奋的徒步旅行和观鸟之旅)”可知，名词exploration“探索，探险”符合题意，表示Rojas开启了她在自然保护区内的探险之旅。故填exploration。 (2) 考查动词。根据第一段中“Little did she know that this day would be filled with an extraordinary encounter. (她不知道这一天将会有一场不同寻常的邂逅)”可知，她完全没想到之后会遇到这样一件意想不到的事情。形容词unexpected符合题意，表示她不知道自己接下来会遇到什么，修饰incident。故填unexpected。 (3) 考查动词。根据第二段“There lay a magnificent female mute swan.(那里躺着一只姿态优美的雌性疣鼻天鹅)”可知，罗贾斯发现一只哑哑叫的天鹅静静地躺在水边，当她靠近它时，它丝毫没有攻击她的迹象。表示“躺着”用动词lie，修饰swan且为主动关系，故用现在分词形式，故填lying。 (4) 考查动词。根据第二段中“It remained still and made no move or attempt to attack as she drew closer. (当她走近时，它仍然一动不动，没有移动或试图攻击)”可知，罗贾斯发现一只哑哑叫的天鹅静静地躺在水边，当她靠近它时，它丝毫没有攻击她的迹象。动词approach“靠近”符合题意，表示在她靠近时，此处可用一般过去时，表示是过去发生的行为，也可用过去进行时，表示在靠近这一行为进行的情况下，主语为she，be动词需用was。故填approached/was approaching。 (5) 考查形容词。根据第二段中“It was clear to her that there was something wrong with the swan and that it was in need of medical help. (她很清楚，这只天鹅出了问题，需要医疗救助)”可知，名词assistance“救助”符合题意，表示天鹅需要医疗救助。故填assistance。 (6) 考查名词。根据第三段中“Rojas took immediate action. (Rojas立即采取了行动)”可知，名词response“反应”符合题意，表示迅速反应。故填response。 (7) 考查副词。根据第三段中“Then, with utmost care, she picked the heavy bird up, holding it softly in her arms. (然后，她小心翼翼地把那只沉重的鸟抱起来，轻轻地抱在怀里)”可知，副词gently“轻柔地”符合题意，表示轻柔地把它抱在怀里。故填gently。 (8) 考查形容词。根据第三段中“How could she carry such a huge swan out of here on her own? The thought alone seemed almost impossible. (她一个人怎么可能带着这么大的天鹅离开这里？光是这个想法似乎就几乎是不可能的)”可知，她发现自己独自一人根本无法把这只沉重的天鹅运送到康复中心。用形容词impossible。故填impossible。 (9) 考查名词。根据第四段“Just when hope seemed to grow weaker, a man cycling by appeared at the end of the road and got nearer and nearer.(就在希望似乎愈发渺茫之时，一个骑着自行车经过的人出现在了路的尽头，并且越走越近了)”可知，罗哈斯向刚刚路过的一位骑自行车的人求助，并向他详细说明了情况。为单数名词cyclist。故填cyclist。 (10) 考查名词。根据第四段中“After several good glances at Rojas, the cyclist stopped in front of her, his expression having shifted from confusion to concern, “What’s wrong with the swan?”(仔细看了Rojas几眼后，骑行者停在了她面前，他的表情从困惑变成了担心：“天鹅怎么了？”)”可知，当那个人的困惑逐渐转变为对那只天鹅的担忧时，情况似乎变得乐观起来。表示“担忧”用名词confusion。故填confusion。 【67题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中“The next challenge was discouraging. The rehab center was across the East River, on the other side of town. How could she carry such a huge swan out of here on her own? (下一个挑战令人沮丧。康复中心在东河对岸，在城镇的另一边。她一个人怎么可能带着这么大的天鹅离开这里)”可知，Rojas决定把这只哑天鹅送到康复中心接受治疗，但它太重了，她无法运送。故答案为：She decided to send the mute swan to the rehab center for medical help, but it was too heavy for her to carry. 【68题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第四段中“Just when hope seemed to grow weak, a cyclist appeared at the end of the road and got nearer and nearer. There on the back seat of his bike was fixed a big-sized backpack. (就在希望似乎越来越渺茫的时候，一个骑行者出现在路的尽头，越走越近。在他的自行车后座上固定着一个很大的背包)”可知，骑行者有自行车以及背包，都可以运送这只天鹅。由此推知，他可能会把自己的自行车或背包给Rojas，让她运送天鹅，或者他会用他的自行车载着这只哑天鹅陪Rojas去康复中心。故答案可为：He would give his bike/backpack to Rojas for her to transport the swan. /He would accompany Rojas to the rehab center with his bike carrying the mute swan. 【69题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第四段中“Rojas made a brief explanation as soon as she could, while the cyclist listened attentively, his eyes fixed on the swan in her arms. (Rojas尽可能快地做了一个简短的解释，而骑行者则专注地听着，眼睛盯着她怀里的天鹅)”可推知，骑行者在听了Rojas的解释后，可能会伸出援助之手，在这只哑天鹅接受了及时的治疗并恢复健康后，便将其放飞了。故答案可为：Rojas would set the mute swan free after it got medical treatment in time and came back to life soon. 第二节 书面表达（满分 20 分） 70. 最近，你校为号召同学们热爱运动，每天坚持锻炼，将举办以“The Importance of Doing Sports”为主题的英语演讲比赛，请写一篇演讲稿参赛。内容包括： 1.锻炼身体的重要性； 2.具体的建议。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Ladies and Gentlemen, I am honored to stand here to deliver a speech themed “The Importance of Doing Sports” As we all know, a healthy body is the foundation of a successful life.
