Hadrian’s Wall，Britain This is a Roman barrier that guarded the border of Britain.Hadrian，the Roman emperor from 117 CE to 138 CE，went to Britain in 122 CE and was the first to build a wall,73 miles long，to separate the Romans from the barbarians.There was no intention of fighting from the wall top; the soldiers there were trained to encounter the enemy in the open.In 1987，Hadrian’s Wall was recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Easter Island，Chile This place is famous for its huge stone statues.The first European visitors，the Dutch，named it Easter Island in memory of their day of arrival.The small and hilly island was formed by volcanoes.Easter Island was added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1995. 语篇解读　这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了被列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录的四个旅游景点。 1．Which site would you like to visit if you want to see wild animals?

The main reason for the decrease of these plants is an unusual one.The number of sheep in Teesdale had been reduced by half by 2000，as the uplands were generally believed there were too many sheep.Bradshaw says while sheep are hunted in some upland areas，reducing herding in Teesdale has been destructive.Longer grass overshadows the delicate(娇嫩的) flowers，taking away the light they need to grow.As a result of her findings and her work with farmers who herd the land—as well as Natural England，which manages it—sheep numbers are increasing and the timing of herding is being carefully managed.This has led to the partial recovery of some plants. At 93，she set up Teesdale Special Flora Research and Conservation Trust to record rare plants.A keen horse rider，at 95，she did a 55-mile horse journey across Teesdale，raising almost $ 10,000 for the Trust.When asked about the secret to longevity，“Just keep going，” she says.“Keep at it.Don’t sit down and just watch TV.” “I recognise I’m getting older and I’ve been trying to get more people to take over and do the records.They don’t believe I won’t be here forever，” Bradshaw says.Despite Bradshaw’s guardianship of this land，and the love and energy she has put into saving it，the future here is unknown.The last words of her book speak to this endless loss.“This is our heritage，this unique plant species，mine and yours，” she writes.“In spite of trying，I have failed to prevent its decrease，now it is up to you.” 语篇解读　这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了97岁的植物学家玛格丽特·布拉德肖Margaret Bradshaw是提斯代尔最稀有花卉的主要看护人，她希望让更多的人接力保护这一自然遗产。 4．What is Margaret Bradshaw’s main work with the rare plants? A．Writing a book. B．Preventing their decrease. C．Collecting their data. D．Directing farmers to grow plants. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中“Bradshaw has been recording rare plants here since the early 1950s and has witnessed great decreases.Her data was the first to prove that—and the need to do something about it.”可知，布拉德肖关于珍稀植物的主要工作是收集它们的数据。故选C。 5．What contributed to the reduction of rare plants in Teesdale? A．Not enough sheep. B．Lack of fund. C．Poor management. D．Too many sheep. 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段中“The main reason for the decrease of these plants is an unusual one.The number of sheep in Teesdale had been reduced...Longer grass overshadows the delicate(娇嫩的) flowers，taking away the light they need to grow.”可推知，没有足够的羊吃草导致了提斯代尔稀有植物的减少。故选A。 6．What can we learn from Bradshaw’s words in the last paragraph? A．Unity brings strength. B．Many hands make light work. C．Youthful at heart，regardless of age. D．Advance what the forerunners began. 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句和最后一句可推知，布拉德肖希望更多人参与记录和保护工作，推进先行者开创的事业。故选D。 7．Which might be a suitable title for the text? A．Teesdale：Home to Rare Plants B．Battling for Teesdale’s Wildflowers C．Bradshaw：A 97-Year-Old Gardener D．Exploring Teesdale’s Unique Plants 答案　B 解析　标题归纳题。通读文章，尤其根据第一段和最后一段内容可知，文章主要讲的是玛格丽特·布拉德肖为守护提斯代尔的最稀有花卉所作的努力以及她希望更多人参与这一事业的呼吁。故B选项“为提斯代尔的稀有花卉而奋斗”适合作文章标题。故选B。 训练10　Reading Club(B) [分值：32.5分] Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分) A Everglades National Park is located in the state of Florida.It is the largest wilderness in the entire country and makes up 25% of the wetlands in the state.The Everglades is home to several rare and endangered species.It is also the third largest national park in the US，after Death Valley National Park and Yellowstone National Park.Each year，about 1 million tourists visit the park.On a global level，it has been announced as a World Heritage Site. Unlike most other national parks，Everglades National Park was created to protect an ecosystem(生态系统) from being damaged.In 1947，President Harry Truman spoke at the official opening of Everglades National Park，saying the goal of creating the park was to protect forever a wild area that could never be replaced. 10,000 different islands make up Everglades National Park.There exists natural wildlife on each of these islands.The Everglades is home to about 30 species that are endangered.In addition，more than 350 bird species and 300 species of fresh and saltwater fish live within the park.The Everglades is also home to 40 species of mammals(哺乳动物)． There are many ways to explore the Everglades.Visitors can see alligators(短吻鳄) while hiking the Anhinga Trail.The Everglades is one of the few places on Earth where freshwater alligators and saltwater crocodiles live in the same area.Visitors using airboats are likely to see large groups of birds.Some visitors might enjoy riding bicycles through Shark Valley.Others may want to move slowly through the water where they can see insects and wildlife closely. According to experts，changes to the Everglades are becoming a danger to several different kinds of wildlife.They say it is a result of actions the US government began more than 50 years ago，and settlers began even earlier. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作为世界文化遗产之一的位于美国佛罗里达州的大沼泽地国家公园。 1．What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?

However，that is not the point of this article.Two different natural disasters in two different parts of the world have happened in the past few weeks.One was a major flood that has hit Louisiana in the United States.The other was an earthquake that hit Amatrice，Italy.However，there is a major difference in the news coverage(新闻报道) of the two tragedies. As for the flooding in Louisiana，it is reported that this disaster is the worst to hit the United States since super-storm Sandy and it’ll cost at least $ 30 million.In only the first couple of weeks,13 people had died.However，like me，many people did not hear about this tragic event.I did not learn about it until about three weeks after it happened. In Italy，however，it covered all media instantly.The earthquake in Italy happened on Tuesday morning.That same day，I was on Twitter and that was all over the news feed.Every other post was about the earthquake.Some would have the opinion that Amatrice，Italy was one of the most beautiful towns in that country.I got in deep sorrow because there were more people killed in this quake than the flooding.So far，they have had a total of 73 dead and over one-hundred missing. I understand that technically the earthquake in Italy was worse than the floods in Louisiana.However，I believe that if a natural disaster happens，they all should be equally covered and taken equally as serious.We are one world united and should be there for all of the people out there who are in need of help.We may not be able to accurately predict disasters，but we can surely lend a hand out for the needy. 语篇解读　本文是一篇议论文。文章比较了媒体对两次自然灾害的报道，作者认为自然灾害无大小，新闻媒体都应该及时报道，严肃对待。 5．What really concerns the author about the two natural disasters? A．The death and the injured. B．The media report. C．The government’s responsibility.

B．He felt nervous about the news. C．The media didn’t cover it in time. D．The flood frightened the author a lot. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段的最后两句可知，因为媒体的报道不及时，很多人包括作者三周后才知道路易斯安那州发生的洪灾。故选C。 7．How does the author feel about the earthquake in Italy? A．Proud. B．Critical. C．Pitiful. D．Sad. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段的倒数第二句可知，意大利的地震造成很多的人员伤亡，这让作者陷入深深的悲伤之中。故选D。 8．What does the author really want to say in the text? A．Italy isn’t good at predicting the natural disasters.

Listen to music. Songs，and music in general，can help you relax. 2 Music，specifically lyrics，can also transport you to a specific time or place and provide you with ideas to help spark your own creativity. Write whatever comes to mind to get your creativity flowing. You may not have any concrete ideas，but simply writing something down can help generate creative thoughts.Consider it a form of brainstorming.Remember that you can always start over or revise previous thoughts before you finish a final draft.Writing，in and of itself，can help you generate thoughts. 3 It is best if you do this type of writing by hand，because it will connect you more fully to the writing process. 4 Even if you stick to one type when you write，you can borrow smaller concepts，the latest trend，personality preferences，scenery ideas，and so much more from reading different types of books.Each story was probably inspired from the author’s own exploration of other books or tales and things that happened to or around him in his daily lives. Try doodling(涂鸦) or drawing to relax and stimulate your creativity. 5 Instead，try spontaneous(自发的) activities，such as doodling or abstract drawing，as a way to be creative without the pressure that can come with creating finished art. A．People find inspiration in all sorts of creative activities. B．Read a lot of different stories to find creative inspiration. C．Try free writing or journaling for 15 minutes every day. D．Inspiration is something that comes easily for some people，but is a struggle for others. E．The lyrics and the melodies you listen to can lighten thoughts that might weigh you down. F．Have fun and encounter your artistic side without worrying about finding innovative ideas. G．You can express yourself artistically without producing a professional drawing every time. 语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了如何创造性地寻找灵感。 1．答案　D 解析　前文提到一句名言“天才是1%的灵感加上99%的汗水”，即天才的实现要有灵感和努力。后文“Some artists...creativity or genius.”说明一些著名人物把灵感视为他们的创造力或天赋的源泉。选项D“灵感对某些人来说很容易获得，但对另一些人来说却是一种难事”承上启下，选项中的Inspiration与上句的inspiration和下句的muse呼应。故选D。 2．答案　E 解析　前文提到了歌曲和音乐可以使人放松。下文特别提出音乐中歌词还有着激发创造力的作用。因而空处也应讲述音乐的作用。选项E“你听到的歌词和旋律可以减轻让你焦虑的思想”切题，故选E。 3．答案　C 解析　根据本段标题“想到什么就写什么，激发你的创造力”并结合前文“Writing，in and of itself，can help you generate thoughts.”提到了写作可以激发创造力和灵感，可知空处应承接前文，讲述要尝试写作。选项C“尝试每天15分钟的自由写作或写日记”切题，且与下文中this type of writing呼应。故选C。 4．答案　B 解析　下文“...so much more from reading different types of books.”说明通过阅读也可以激发你的创造力和灵感。因而空处作为段落标题句，应说明通过阅读不同类型的书来寻找灵感。选项B“阅读许多不同的故事来寻找创造性的灵感”切题，故选B。 5．答案　G 解析　根据段落标题可知，涂鸦或者画画可以实现放松，激发你的创造力。根据空后内容可知，要使用涂鸦等自由轻松的创造性方式。因此G项“你可以用艺术的方式表达自己，而不必每次都画专业的画”切题，且与下文中Instead呼应。故选G。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
