1. At present, a large number of wild animals ________ at the nature reserve in Sichuan Province.
A. is protecting B. is being protected C. are protecting D. are being protected
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:目前,大量野生动物正在在四川省自然保护区被保护。根据时间状语at present可知,句子描述现在正在进行的动作,应用现在进行时,protect与主语a large number of wild animals之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,且a large number of+复数名词作主语时,be动词使用are。故选D项。
2. He suddenly spotted an old friend across the room, so he pushed his way ________ the crowd of people to get to her.
A. beyond B. through C. down D. against
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查介词词义辨析。句意:他突然发现房间对面有一位老朋友,于是他从人群中挤过去。A. beyond超出;B. through穿过;C. down在下方;D. against反对。根据后文“the crowd of people”指穿过人群,应用through。故选B。
3. There were different stands ______ artists could demonstrate their skills and teach the visitors.
A. which B. who C. where D. that
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:那里有不同的展台,艺术家们可以在那里展示他们的技艺并教授参观者。此处为关系词引导的定语从句,从句中不缺主语和宾语,先行词是“different stands”,指地点,关系词在定语从句中作地点状语,应用关系副词where引导定语从句。故选C项。
4. You will know what a great bike is like if you ______ John’s new bicycle.
A. come up with B. get a load of C. sing high praise for D. focus yourself on
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意:如果你仔细看看约翰的新自行车,你就会知道什么是很棒的自行车。A. come up with提出,想出;B. get a load of仔细看看,打量;C. sing high praise for高度赞扬;D. focus yourself on专注于。根据“You will know what a great bike is like”可知,是要仔细看约翰的新自行车才能知道好自行车是什么样的,“get a load of”符合语境。故选B。
5. ______ the basic skills needed to solve complex math problems, many students find it difficult for them to achieve high scores.
A. Lacking of B. Lacked C. Lacking D. Lacking for
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:由于缺乏解决复杂数学问题所需的基本技能,许多学生发现很难取得高分。动词lack“缺乏,缺少”为及物动词,后直接跟名词(短语)作宾语,句中已有谓语动词find,故空格处应用非谓语动词。主语many students与动词lack之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,应用现在分词形式作状语,其现在分词形式为lacking,故选C。
6. All entrances to the national park are ______ closed due to the dangerous avalanche caused by the recent heavy snow.
A. annually B. elegantly C. initially D. temporarily
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查副词词义辨析。句意:由于最近大雪引发危险的雪崩,国家公园的所有入口暂时关闭。A. annually 每年;B. elegantly 优雅地;C. initially 最初;D. temporarily 暂时地。根据“due to the dangerous avalanche caused by the recent heavy snow(由于最近大雪引发危险的雪崩)”可知,入口关闭是因为当下的雪崩情况,并非长期状态,“暂时地”符合语境,故选D。
7. These factors ______ the rapid growth of the city’s population in the past decade.
A. account for B. take account of C. on no account D. account
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语及动词词义辨析。句意:这些因素是过去十年该城市人口快速增长原因。A. account for解释,说明(某事的原因);B. take account of考虑到,顾及;C. on no account绝不;D. account解释(不及物动词)。句中“the rapid growth of the city’s population”是结果,“These factors”是原因,account for表示“解释……的原因”,符合“因素解释人口增长的原因”的逻辑。故选A项。
8. Perseverance is a kind of quality and that’s _____ it takes to do anything well.
A. how B. which C. what D. where
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查连接词。句意:坚持不懈是一种品质,这是做好任何事情所需要的。此处为表语从句,从句中缺少宾语,指代事情应用what引导。故选C。
【点睛】名词性从句关键在于三点:
一、找准从句在主句中充当的成分即分出是名词性从句的主语句、宾语从句、表语从句还是同位语从句;
二、连接词从句中充当的成分(主、宾、定或状语或不做任何成分);
三、弄清楚每个连接词的意义。此外还要注意,近年来高考对于名词性从句的考查多从名词性从句的语序和连接词的用法区别上考查。

11. It is the first time that more than one ancient painting ______ to the public outside the museum.
A. are displayed B. has been displayed
C. have been displayed D. is displayed
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:这是首次在博物馆外向公众展出多幅古画。句中使用固定句型“It is the first time that...”,that引导的从句需用现在完成时;主语“more than one ancient painting”与“display”是被动关系,所以此处为现在完成时的被动语态,more than one+单数名词作主语,谓语动词用单数,所以谓语动词为has been displayed。故选B项。
12. Alexander the Great spread the Greek culture from Europe to Africa and Asia, ______ the world for centuries to come.

【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:现在大多数大学都为学生提供帮助他们成功的课程。分析句子结构可知design在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语lesson构成被动关系,故用过去分词作定语。故选A。
15. I try my best at school to live up to my parents’ expectations in order that I will not ________.
A. turn them down B. let them down C. make them up D. help them out

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Starting a new school term is always exciting. It is a chance to see your friends again. But most exciting of all, the new term is a chance to take up new hobbies. It is common in America for students to take up new hobbies after the Christmas holidays. Deciding to start something new is a common New Year plan.
Most schools provide different kinds of hobby classes. Students take them in their free periods or after school. Some classes you have to pay for and others are free. For example, I once took a free Wednesday evening gymnastics (体操) class in my school. But when I learnt how to play the drum (鼓) my parents had to pay for the lessons.
The most popular hobby classes at my school were piano lessons and drama club. Both classes offered exams students could take. Students with many hobbies sometimes felt more stressed (有压力的) than those without any. But the students with hobbies left school with some more skills.
I haven’t continued any of the hobbies I began at school. But I have never regretted (懊悔) taking them. My best friend today is someone I met in my gymnastics class.

Once, I was invited to see a performance by my friends. Little did I know that I was about to see something I would never forget.
After they introduced the young musician, Mr. Patrick Henry Hughes, he was rolled onto the stage in his wheelchair and began to play the piano. His fingers danced across the keys as he made beautiful music. He then began to sing as he played, and it was even more beautiful. For some reason, however, I knew that I was seeing something special. About ten minutes into Patrick’s performance, someone came on the stage and said, “I’d like to share a seven-minute video.” Then the lights went dim.
Patrick Henry Hughes was born with no eyes and a tightening of the joints, which left him disabled for life. However, as a child, he was fitted with artificial eyes and placed in a wheelchair. Before his first birthday, he discovered the piano. His mom said, “I could hit any note on the piano, and within one or two tries, he’d get it.” By his second birthday, he could play simple songs as requested. His father was excited. “We might not play baseball, but we can play music together.”
Today, Patrick is a junior. His father attends classes with him and he’s made nearly all A’s. He’s also a part of the marching band. He and his father do it together. They attend all the band practices and performances. His father rolls his son around the field to the cheers of Patrick’s fans.

C
What will power your house in the future? Nuclear wind or solar power? According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) in the US, it might be artificial leaves.
Natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy. It is known as photosynthesis (光合作用). Now researchers have found a way to imitate this process.
The artificial leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his colleagues at MIT can be seen as a special silicon chip with catalysts(催化剂). Similar to natural leaves, it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a fuel cell (电池), using those two materials to produce electricity, located either on top of a house or beside the house.
Though the leaf is only about the shape of a poker card, scientists claimed that it is promising to be an inexpensive source of electricity in developing countries. “One can imagine villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology” said an American scientist, Nocera.
An artificial leaf is not a new idea. The first artificial leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensive and unstable for practical use. The new leaf, however, is made of cheap materials, easy to use and highly stable. In laboratory studies, Nocera showed that an artificial leaf could operate continuously for at least 45 hours.
The wonderful improvements come from Nocera’s recent discovery of several powerful new, inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energy transformation inside the leaf more efficient with water and sunlight. Right now the new leaf is about 10 times more effective at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one. Besides, the device can run in whatever water is available. This is important for some countries that don’t have access to pure water.
Hopefully, each home could have access to the new application in the future.
46. The purpose of this article is to ________.
A. introduce a new kind of device
B. ask people to do the research
C. advertise the new product
D. show the process of photosynthesis
47. Which of the following is NOT the advantages of the new leaf?
A. It’s low in cost.
B. It’s small in size.
C. It has a wonderful fuel cell.
D. It’s convenient for people to use.
48. What conclusion can be drawn from the text?
A. Nocera thought the new leaf is expensive for developing countries.
B. Villages in Africa have benefited a lot from the new invention.
C. Silicon chip can help the new leaf work more effectively.
D. The equipment doesn’t necessarily operate in pure water.
49. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the new device?
A. Negative.
B. Optimistic.
C. Doubtful.
D. Uncertain.
50. According to the text, what will take place in the future?
A. Natural leaves will take the place of artificial leaves.
B. Scientists will develop more ways to produce energy.
C. The new invention could be widely used in the future.
D. Developing countries will contribute more to the research.

第二节:阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
They say to find out what you really want, go back to when you were a child.
When I was a kid, I really wanted to be a painter, but I was never great at it. I was discouraged, because in art classes my paintings were never the most beautiful. In the third grade, we were given a project to create a portrait. I used the skills and tips we were all taught in class. After we were done, we presented our portraits. We stood in front of the class and explained our technique. I remember looking at other portraits thinking, “We were given the same skills, why do theirs look so professional and mine looks so amateur?”
But I still really enjoyed painting because it’s a forgiving art. If I don’t like what I’ve put on paper, I can paint over it. I can mix colors and make new ones. Also, I can release some creative juices, use what has inspired me and allow that to pour out of me in a way I may not have imagined.
But because I have always wanted to paint beautiful pictures, I just decided to change what beauty looked like. I changed what beauty meant to me.
Throughout school, they taught us about Picasso, Van Gogh and Leonardo da Vinci who were always painting whatever was in front of them and around them. But that’s not what I saw around me.
Then I learned about Basquiat, who inspired me to paint abstract pictures. I paint when I’m moved, and I am often moved by what’s natural: emotions, nature, and other forms of art. I am also very moved by pain. When there is pain in the world or in my heart, it can be unbearable. I had a conversation with an activist in St. Louis named Spook, and I explained to her this feeling and she told me, “Pain is energy. You have to learn how to channel that energy into something productive.” So sometimes I channel that pain into art, into a painting.
Even if the picture doesn’t turn out aesthetically (美学地) pleasing by society’s standards, it’s still beautiful that I was able to create something. My paintings may not be a Basquiat, but they’re mine, so I love them anyway.
61. What was the author’s dream as a kid? (no more than 5 words)
_______________________________________________________________
62. What did the author find after the portrait presentation?(no more than 15words)
_______________________________________________________________
63. What factors motivated the author to keep his passion for arts? (no more than 15 words)
_______________________________________________________________
64. How do you understand the underlined word in Paragraph 6? (I word)
_______________________________________________________________
65. Besides painting, what other art form would you use to express your feelings? And explain why. (no more than 25 words)
_______________________________________________________________
【答案】61. To be a painter.
62. Others’/Other kids’ portraits looked so professional and/but his looked so amateur.
Others’/Other kids’ portraits looked more professional than mine; The author’s portraits looked amateur.
63. His childhood dream; His belief that painting is a forgiving art; The inspiration he got from Basquiat; The fact that he could channel pain into art.
64. Turn/Change
65. Open. I use singing to express my feelings. By singing my favorite songs I can voice my passion and appreciation ease my depression in my life.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者追求绘画梦想的心路历程,从面对挫折到重新定义美的含义,并在Basquiat的启发下,将情感与痛苦转化为抽象艺术创作的故事。
【61题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段的“When I was a kid, I really wanted to be a painter, but I was never great at it. (当我还是个孩子的时候,我真的很想成为一名画家,但我从来都不擅长)”可知,作者小时候的梦想是成为一名画家。故答案为To be a painter.
【62题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段的“I remember looking at other portraits thinking, “We were given the same skills, why do theirs look so professional and mine looks so amateur?”(我记得看到其他肖像时,我在想,“我们被赋予了同样的技能,为什么他们的看起来如此专业,而我的看起来如此业余?”)”可知,在肖像画展示后,作者发现尽管接受了相同的指导,但自己的作品看起来比别人的业余。故答案为Others’/Other kids’ portraits looked so professional and/but his looked so amateur.或者Others’/Other kids’ portraits looked more professional than mine; The author’s portraits looked amateur.
【63题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段的“When I was a kid, I really wanted to be a painter, but I was never great at it. (当我还是个孩子的时候,我真的很想成为一名画家,但我从来都不擅长)”,第三段“But I still really enjoyed painting because it’s a forgiving art. If I don’t like what I’ve put on paper, I can paint over it. I can mix colors and make new ones. Also, I can release some creative juices, use what has inspired me and allow that to pour out of me in a way I may not have imagined.(但我仍然很喜欢画画,因为这是一种宽容的艺术。如果我不喜欢我在纸上画的东西,我可以在上面画画。我可以混合颜色,制作新的。此外,我可以释放一些创造性的果汁,利用激励我的东西,让它以我可能无法想象的方式从我身上倾泻而出)”以及及第六段的“I am also very moved by pain. When there is pain in the world or in my heart, it can be unbearable. I had a conversation with an activist in St. Louis named Spook, and I explained to her this feeling and she told me, “Pain is energy. You have to learn how to channel that energy into something productive.” So sometimes I channel that pain into art, into a painting.(我也被疼痛所感动。当世界上或我心中有痛苦时,它可能是无法忍受的。我与圣路易斯一位名叫斯波克的活动家进行了一次对话,我向她解释了这种感觉,她告诉我,“痛苦就是能量。你必须学会如何将这种能量转化为富有成效的东西。”所以有时我会将这种痛苦转化为艺术,转化为绘画)”可知,促使作者保持对艺术热情的因素包括儿时的梦想,绘画本身的宽容性(可以修改和创新)、能释放创造力、受自然和情感的启发,以及将痛苦转化为创作的动力。故答案为His childhood dream; His belief that painting is a forgiving art; The inspiration he got from Basquiat; The fact that he could channel pain into art.
【64题详解】
考查词汇理解。根据第六段的“So sometimes I channel that pain into art, into a painting.(所以有时我会把这种痛苦转化为艺术,转化为绘画)”可知,作者认为能够把痛苦转化为艺术,转化为绘画,也就是说痛苦就是能量,必须学会如何将这种能量转化为富有成效的东西。此处的“channel”意为“引导,转变”。故答案为Turn/Change
【65题详解】
开放性试题。此题目要求写出除了绘画,你还会用什么艺术形式来表达你的感受?并解释原因。答案不唯一,合理即可。我认为我会用唱歌来表达我的感受。通过唱我最喜欢的歌,我可以表达我的热情和感激,缓解我生活中的抑郁。故答案为I use singing to express my feelings. By singing my favorite songs, I can voice my passion and appreciation ease my depression in my life.

【答案】Peking Opera
With its diversity and richness, traditional Chinese culture is extremely unique and appealing, among which I am particularly fond of Peking Opera.
Dating back to the 18th century, Peking Opera has over two hundred years of history, giving it a high rank in Chinese culture. In addition, the costumes as well as masks are greatly amazing, which also get across characters’ personalities and emotions to audience. Generally speaking, the stage is pretty simple, while how the characters move on it is quite beyond imagination. This is undoubtedly my favourite part of Peking Opera. Last but not least, listening to the music played by traditional Chinese instruments throughout the process is also pleasant.
So proud of Peking Opera am I that I do hope more and more people will fall in love with it. May our precious culture be passed down from generation to generation!

Starting a new school term is always exciting. It is a chance to see your friends again. But most exciting of all, the new term is a chance to take up new hobbies. It is common in America for students to take up new hobbies after the Christmas holidays. Deciding to start something new is a common New Year plan.
Most schools provide different kinds of hobby classes. Students take them in their free periods or after school. Some classes you have to pay for and others are free. For example, I once took a free Wednesday evening gymnastics (体操) class in my school. But when I learnt how to play the drum (鼓) my parents had to pay for the lessons.
The most popular hobby classes at my school were piano lessons and drama club. Both classes offered exams students could take. Students with many hobbies sometimes felt more stressed (有压力的) than those without any. But the students with hobbies left school with some more skills.
I haven’t continued any of the hobbies I began at school. But I have never regretted (懊悔) taking them. My best friend today is someone I met in my gymnastics class.

Once, I was invited to see a performance by my friends. Little did I know that I was about to see something I would never forget.
After they introduced the young musician, Mr. Patrick Henry Hughes, he was rolled onto the stage in his wheelchair and began to play the piano. His fingers danced across the keys as he made beautiful music. He then began to sing as he played, and it was even more beautiful. For some reason, however, I knew that I was seeing something special. About ten minutes into Patrick’s performance, someone came on the stage and said, “I’d like to share a seven-minute video.” Then the lights went dim.
Patrick Henry Hughes was born with no eyes and a tightening of the joints, which left him disabled for life. However, as a child, he was fitted with artificial eyes and placed in a wheelchair. Before his first birthday, he discovered the piano. His mom said, “I could hit any note on the piano, and within one or two tries, he’d get it.” By his second birthday, he could play simple songs as requested. His father was excited. “We might not play baseball, but we can play music together.”
Today, Patrick is a junior. His father attends classes with him and he’s made nearly all A’s. He’s also a part of the marching band. He and his father do it together. They attend all the band practices and performances. His father rolls his son around the field to the cheers of Patrick’s fans.
But it was Patrick’s “attitude of gratitude” that touched my soul deeper. On stage, between songs, he talked to the audience about his life and about how blessed he was. He said, “God made me blind and unable to walk. BIG DEAL! He gave me the ability, the musical gifts I have… the great opportunity to meet new people.”
When his performance was over, Patrick and his father were on the stage together. The crowd rose to their feet and cheered for over five minutes.
41. What can we know from the text?
A. Patrick is now in charge of a marching band.
B. My friends told me the performance would be very special.
C. Patrick showed a gift of music at an early age.
D. Patrick played the piano much better than he sang.
42. According to the text Patrick’s father ________.

D. has become the leader of the marching band
43. What made the author most impressed?

C. His wonderful performance. D. His unlucky fate.
44. The underlined word “blessed” in Paragraph 5 might be replaced by “________”.
A. unfortunate B. hopeful C. talkative D. lucky
45. The story of Patrick Henry Hughes teaches us to ________.
A. share our kindness with others B. develop an interest in music

What will power your house in the future? Nuclear wind or solar power? According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) in the US, it might be artificial leaves.
Natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy. It is known as photosynthesis (光合作用). Now researchers have found a way to imitate this process.
The artificial leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his colleagues at MIT can be seen as a special silicon chip with catalysts(催化剂). Similar to natural leaves, it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a fuel cell (电池), using those two materials to produce electricity, located either on top of a house or beside the house.
Though the leaf is only about the shape of a poker card, scientists claimed that it is promising to be an inexpensive source of electricity in developing countries. “One can imagine villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology” said an American scientist, Nocera.
An artificial leaf is not a new idea. The first artificial leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensive and unstable for practical use. The new leaf, however, is made of cheap materials, easy to use and highly stable. In laboratory studies, Nocera showed that an artificial leaf could operate continuously for at least 45 hours.
The wonderful improvements come from Nocera’s recent discovery of several powerful new, inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energy transformation inside the leaf more efficient with water and sunlight. Right now the new leaf is about 10 times more effective at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one. Besides, the device can run in whatever water is available. This is important for some countries that don’t have access to pure water.
Hopefully, each home could have access to the new application in the future.
46. The purpose of this article is to ________.
A. introduce a new kind of device
B. ask people to do the research
C. advertise the new product
D. show the process of photosynthesis
47. Which of the following is NOT the advantages of the new leaf?
A. It’s low in cost.
B. It’s small in size.
C. It has a wonderful fuel cell.
D. It’s convenient for people to use.
48. What conclusion can be drawn from the text?
A. Nocera thought the new leaf is expensive for developing countries.
B. Villages in Africa have benefited a lot from the new invention.
C. Silicon chip can help the new leaf work more effectively.
D. The equipment doesn’t necessarily operate in pure water.
49. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the new device?
A. Negative.
B. Optimistic.
C Doubtful.
D. Uncertain.
50. According to the text what will take place in the future?
A. Natural leaves will take the place of artificial leaves.
B. Scientists will develop more ways to produce energy.
C. The new invention could be widely used in the future.
D. Developing countries will contribute more to the research.

They say to find out what you really want, go back to when you were a child.
When I was a kid, I really wanted to be a painter, but I was never great at it. I was discouraged, because in art classes my paintings were never the most beautiful. In the third grade, we were given a project to create a portrait. I used the skills and tips we were all taught in class. After we were done, we presented our portraits. We stood in front of the class and explained our technique. I remember looking at other portraits thinking, “We were given the same skills, why do theirs look so professional and mine looks so amateur?”
But I still really enjoyed painting because it’s a forgiving art. If I don’t like what I’ve put on paper, I can paint over it. I can mix colors and make new ones. Also, I can release some creative juices, use what has inspired me and allow that to pour out of me in a way I may not have imagined.
But because I have always wanted to paint beautiful pictures, I just decided to change what beauty looked like. I changed what beauty meant to me.
Throughout school, they taught us about Picasso, Van Gogh and Leonardo da Vinci who were always painting whatever was in front of them and around them. But that’s not what I saw around me.
Then I learned about Basquiat, who inspired me to paint abstract pictures. I paint when I’m moved, and I am often moved by what’s natural: emotions, nature, and other forms of art. I am also very moved by pain. When there is pain in the world or in my heart, it can be unbearable. I had a conversation with an activist in St. Louis named Spook, and I explained to her this feeling and she told me, “Pain is energy. You have to learn how to channel that energy into something productive.” So sometimes I channel that pain into art, into a painting.
Even if the picture doesn’t turn out aesthetically (美学地) pleasing by society’s standards, it’s still beautiful that I was able to create something. My paintings may not be a Basquiat, but they’re mine, so I love them anyway.
61. What was the author’s dream as a kid? (no more than 5 words)

62. What did the author find after the portrait presentation?(no more than 15words)
