第二部分:阅读(共两节,满分50分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Anyone can book a trip, but not everyone can plan the best adventure that’s affordable and fun. Here are tips that we’d like to share with you about hotels.
Check Distances on a Map
It’s not uncommon for hotels to slightly exaggerate (夸大) their closeness to attractions around town. If being close to a particular airport is important for your trip, confirm distances on Google Maps before you book a hotel.
Be polite to the Staff
A little niceness goes a long way, especially with hotel staff that has to deal with difficult guests on a regular basis. When you check in, simply say hello to the cleaning staff when you pass them in the hall. This is not only common politeness, but it also increases your chances of getting perks (额外待遇) during your stay.
Skip the Package Deals
To appeal to new guests, some hotels will offer themed package deals (主题套餐) that sound exciting but may not be worth it. Sometimes these packages include things you don’t want or need and the special rate could be higher than the regular rate.
Ask about Parking
Especially when you stay in large cities, parking costs really add up. Look for hotels offering parking rates. If parking is expensive, apps like Best Parking can help you find nearby parking lots at cheaper rates if you don’t mind walking a bit.
We hope that you can find the tips on this page. Please visit us again to keep getting the best deals and travel tips.
21. Before booking a hotel, tourists are advised to ________.
A. check reviews of the hotel on the Internet
B. confirm whether they have empty rooms
C. make sure of the hotel’s location
D. compare prices of different hotels
22. When it comes to themed package deals, the author thinks ________.
A. they are reasonable B. they have a lower special rate
C. they may not be really worth trying D. they can satisfy tourists’ all needs.
23. Where does this passage probably come from?
A. A travelling guide. B. A tourist website.
C. An adventure book. D. An entertainment magazine.
B
California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素).
The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.
Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).
But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.
The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融雪).
Since the 1930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.
24. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.
B The increasing variety of California big trees.
C. The distribution of big trees in California forests.
D. The influence of farming on big trees in California.
25. Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?
A. Ecological studies of forests.
B Banning woodcutting.
C. Limiting housing development.
D. Fire control measures.
26. What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre?
A. Inadequate snowmelt. B. A longer dry season.
C. A warmer climate. D. Dampness of the air.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. California’s Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?
B. Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon
C. Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?
D. Patrick McIntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California
C
I believe that, as a doctor, I should always get a blanket for my patients who need one. Yes I know there are other people who can do this. I can ask a nurse or an orderly to do it, but I believe that I should do it. So several times a day, while working in our emergency department, I leave my patient’s bedside, get them a nice warm blanket and cover them up, before continuing on my day.
Which brings me back to why I believe I should offer to bring my patients a blanket. To me it is the first step in communicating to the person that my priority is his or her comfort, both physical and emotional. It is a simple act that acknowledges my desire to meet their basic needs as a patient. It may be an overused expression but I want to treat my patients the way I would want my family members taken care of. This behavior was also modeled for me when I was a patient.
Shortly after college I was involved in a serious accident while working in an ambulance as a volunteer. The short story is that I broke my femur (大腿骨), the large bone in my high, and my recovery required a total of four surgeries over a year or so. The surgeon who performed the last three operations usually did his rounds late at night.
He was a brilliant and talented surgeon who reminded me in appearance of a chain-smoking Einstein. He would ask about my pain and my mental state, but what I remember most is his offering to bring me French fries the next time he visited. I felt that he cared about me and, more importantly, understood what I was going through. He connected with me, and I trusted and obeyed everything he told me to do.
Getting a blanket and placing it on my patient is, in the end, a check and balance for me. I have the power to order hundreds of test and treatments. I strive to always be right (or at least never wrong). And on not so rare occasions, I help save a life. But in the end, if I have not made that connection with my patient, if I have not shown them I understand their needs, then I have failed them as a physician and as a person.
28. According to the author, what does the performance of giving blankets to patients mean?
A It may be an overused expression although he doesn’t care about it.
B. It gives him the power to order tests and treatments.
C. It’s helpful to save a life when you are in trouble.
D. It helps communicate his care towards his patients.
29. The author mentioned his own experience as a patient, which of the following is NOT his intention?
A. Showing his gratitude for the surgeon
B. Demonstrating his action of giving blankets
C. Implying the similar function of bringing French Fries and giving blankets to patients
D. Claiming the importance of patients’ trust toward doctors
30. What does the last sentence (paragraph 5) imply?
A. The author felt regretful for not making connection with his patients by bringing them blankets.
B. A good physician should understand patient’s needs.
C. It’s important to communicate doctors’ care to their patients.
D. The author failed as a person as he didn’t show his understanding for his patients’ needs.
31. The passage is manly about __________.
A. emphasizing the importance of sincere care and understanding of patients
B. emphasizing how to build a bridge between doctors and patients
C. emphasizing that a small gesture can warm the patient’s heart
D. emphasizing how to improve the doctor-patient relationship
D
When people from different cultures get to know each other well, the differences between them become less important because they recognize more and more things they have in common. People begin to see each other as an individual, rather than just as a representative of a particular culture. This can happen quickly when people are working or studying together.
However, problems can appear in situations where people from different cultures are put together but remain strangers. This often occurs in everyday life, for example, on public transport. Here, people may have different expectations of how to behave and often criticize the actions of people from other cultures that they do not understand very well.
Monica Sung, a sociologist, has been researching public attitudes to the televisions which are now put on many buses in Hong Kong, showing programmes and advertising for passengers to watch. Monica’s research shows that some people find this a “disturbance” because their expectations of bus travel are different, while other passengers like to have something to enjoy during their journey. “A Westerner wrote a letter to the newspaper, complaining about the noise of the televisions and saying that buses in his home country were more pleasant because they did not have televisions,” said Monica. “A Chinese person wrote a reply, telling the foreigner he should go back home if he preferred the buses there.”
Monica points out that both types of reaction are stupid. “Not all foreign people want quiet buses, and not all Chinese people want to watch television on buses!” she said. “People often take it for granted that every member of a particular cultural group shares the same values and opinions.”
32. What does the underlined words “an individual” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. A new comer considered as an outsider.
B. A close friend who shares the same values.
C. A single person considered separately from a culture.
D. A stranger who has become used to a new culture.
33. Why does Monica Sung choose to conduct her research on buses?
A. Taking a bus is what people do in everyday life.
B. Passengers are usually unkind to each other.
C. There are passengers from different cultures.
D. People have different expectations of bus service.
34. What can be inferred about the Chinese person?
A. He prefers buses without televisions.
B. He is in favor of televisions on buses.
C. He dislikes complaining to newspapers.
D. He enjoys taking buses with foreigners.
35. What message does the author try to get through to us?
A. People from different cultures should learn from each other.
B. People from different cultures should be polite to each other.
C. People from different cultures should not regard each other as strangers.
D. People should not criticize another culture only for what one from it does.

Brutus had everything in the world: good food, good toys, and good clothes. But the problem was that he had to share them all with his three other brothers, Mack, Jack and Robert.
Brutus had to share his favorite cookie box with Mack, who always finished the whole box before Brutus could take a bite. He also had to share his toys with his youngest brother Jack, who always ended up breaking them. Brutus also had the unfortunate privilege of being given his older brother Robert’s hand-me-downs of old clothes.
Brutus hated sharing and wished he had nobody to share his belongings with. “Why can’t I be the only child?” Brutus sighed as he stared at the stars. “I wish I had no stupid brothers,” Brutus demanded at one sparkling star.
To his surprise, the star suddenly twinkled and fell towards his direction. The star inched closer and closer to his bedroom window. He screamed and tried to wake his brothers up but it was too late. The star crashed inside their room, followed by an ear-splitting explosion.
The next day, Brutus woke up with a bad headache. He rushed to his brothers’ beds to ask them if they were okay but was quickly shocked to see that their beds had been empty. They were nowhere to be found.
Brutus had the fortune of spending the whole morning playing with his toys. He put on his brother’s brand new clothes and sneakers which fit him perfectly. As he was checking himself in the mirror, he suddenly realized that his wish had come true. His brothers were gone and he had the whole world to himself.
“I can get used to this,” he said to himself happily

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Anyone can book a trip, but not everyone can plan the best adventure that’s affordable and fun. Here are tips that we’d like to share with you about hotels.
Check Distances on a Map
It’s not uncommon for hotels to slightly exaggerate (夸大) their closeness to attractions around town. If being close to a particular airport is important for your trip, confirm distances on Google Maps before you book a hotel.
Be polite to the Staff
A little niceness goes a long way, especially with hotel staff that has to deal with difficult guests on a regular basis. When you check in, simply say hello to the cleaning staff when you pass them in the hall. This is not only common politeness, but it also increases your chances of getting perks (额外待遇) during your stay.
Skip the Package Deals
To appeal to new guests, some hotels will offer themed package deals (主题套餐) that sound exciting but may not be worth it. Sometimes these packages include things you don’t want or need and the special rate could be higher than the regular rate.
Ask about Parking
Especially when you stay in large cities, parking costs really add up. Look for hotels offering parking rates. If parking is expensive, apps like Best Parking can help you find nearby parking lots at cheaper rates if you don’t mind walking a bit.
We hope that you can find the tips on this page. Please visit us again to keep getting the best deals and travel tips.

【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Check Distances on a Map部分“It’s not uncommon for hotels to slightly exaggerate (夸大) their closeness to attractions around town. If being close to a particular airport is important for your trip, confirm distances on Google Maps before you book a hotel. (酒店稍微夸大其与周边景点的距离并不少见。如果靠近某个特定的机场对你的旅行很重要,那么在预订酒店之前,请在谷歌地图上确认距离。)”可知,在预订酒店之前,建议游客确认酒店的位置。故选C项。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据Skip the Package Deals部分“To appeal to new guests, some hotels will offer themed package deals (主题套餐) that sound exciting but may not be worth it. Sometimes these packages include things you don’t want or need and the special rate could be higher than the regular rate. (为了吸引新客人,一些酒店会提供听起来很刺激但可能不值得的主题套餐。有时这些套餐包含你不想要或不需要的东西,而且特价可能比正常价格高。)”可知,作者认为主题套餐可能并不真正值得尝试。故选C项。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“We hope that you can find the tips on this page. Please visit us again to keep getting the best deals and travel tips. (我们希望你能从本页内容中找到实用的小贴士。欢迎再次访问我们的平台,持续获取超值优惠与出行建议。)”可知,文章内容是关于旅行建议的,且鼓励读者再次访问获取更多信息,由此可推测这篇文章可能来自一个旅游网站。故选B项。
B
California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素).
The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.
Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).
But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.
The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融雪).
Since the 1930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.
24. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.
B. The increasing variety of California big trees.
C. The distribution of big trees in California forests.
D. The influence of farming on big trees in California.
25. Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?
A. Ecological studies of forests.
B. Banning woodcutting.
C. Limiting housing development.
D. Fire control measures.
26. What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre?
A. Inadequate snowmelt. B. A longer dry season.
C. A warmer climate. D. Dampness of the air.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. California’s Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone?
B. Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon
C. Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests?
D. Patrick McIntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。根据一项研究显示,自20世纪30年代以来,加州已经损失了一半的大树,而气候变化似乎是其主要因素。
【24题详解】
主旨大意题。第二段中,作者用具体数据说明了大树损失在各个地区的严重程度,没有任何地区幸免或不受影响,故选A。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).可知,对野火的控制使得加利福尼亚的森林里挤满了小树,与大树争夺资源,也就是对野火的控制是善意的,但对大树产生了不利的影响。故选D。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.可知,造成加州水资源短缺的最大因素是温度升高,这导致树木向空气中流失更多的水分,以及更早的融雪,这减少了旱季对树木的供水量。故选C。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,自20世纪30年代以来,加州已经损失了一半的大树,文章分析了引起该现象的几个主要因素。全文围绕“加州森林的大树都去哪儿了”话题展开,故选项A。
C
I believe that, as a doctor, I should always get a blanket for my patients who need one. Yes I know there are other people who can do this. I can ask a nurse or an orderly to do it, but I believe that I should do it. So several times a day, while working in our emergency department, I leave my patient’s bedside, get them a nice warm blanket and cover them up, before continuing on my day.
Which brings me back to why I believe I should offer to bring my patients a blanket. To me it is the first step in communicating to the person that my priority is his or her comfort, both physical and emotional. It is a simple act that acknowledges my desire to meet their basic needs as a patient. It may be an overused expression but I want to treat my patients the way I would want my family members taken care of. This behavior was also modeled for me when I was a patient.
Shortly after college I was involved in a serious accident while working in an ambulance as a volunteer. The short story is that I broke my femur (大腿骨), the large bone in my high, and my recovery required a total of four surgeries over a year or so. The surgeon who performed the last three operations usually did his rounds late at night.
He was a brilliant and talented surgeon who reminded me in appearance of a chain-smoking Einstein. He would ask about my pain and my mental state, but what I remember most is his offering to bring me French fries the next time he visited. I felt that he cared about me and, more importantly, understood what I was going through. He connected with me, and I trusted and obeyed everything he told me to do.
Getting a blanket and placing it on my patient is, in the end, a check and balance for me. I have the power to order hundreds of test and treatments. I strive to always be right (or at least never wrong). And on not so rare occasions, I help save a life. But in the end, if I have not made that connection with my patient, if I have not shown them I understand their needs, then I have failed them as a physician and as a person.
28. According to the author, what does the performance of giving blankets to patients mean?
A. It may be an overused expression although he doesn’t care about it.
B. It gives him the power to order tests and treatments.
C. It’s helpful to save a life when you are in trouble.
D. It helps communicate his care towards his patients.
29. The author mentioned his own experience as a patient, which of the following is NOT his intention?
A. Showing his gratitude for the surgeon
B. Demonstrating his action of giving blankets
C. Implying the similar function of bringing French Fries and giving blankets to patients
D. Claiming the importance of patients’ trust toward doctors
30. What does the last sentence (paragraph 5) imply?
A. The author felt regretful for not making connection with his patients by bringing them blankets.
B. A good physician should understand patient’s needs.
C. It’s important to communicate doctors’ care to their patients.
D. The author failed as a person as he didn’t show his understanding for his patients’ needs.
31. The passage is manly about __________.
A. emphasizing the importance of sincere care and understanding of patients
B. emphasizing how to build a bridge between doctors and patients
C. emphasizing that a small gesture can warm the patient’s heart
D. emphasizing how to improve the doctor-patient relationship
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作为一名医生,作者经常给有需要的病人准备一条毯子。这是因为作者在一次生病的时候,受到了 David医生的细心照料和关心,所以在作者当了医生以后,他也尽量为病人着想,理解他们的需求。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Which brings me back to why I believe I should offer to bring my patients a blanket. To me it is the first step in communicating to the person that my priority is his or her comfort, both physical and emotional. It is a simple act that acknowledges my desire to meet their basic needs as a patient.(这让我回到了为什么我认为我应该给我的病人带一条毯子。对我来说,这是与他人沟通的第一步,我的首要任务是他或她的身体和情感上的舒适。这是一个简单的举动,表达了我作为病人满足他们基本需求的愿望)”可知,根据作者的观点,给病人发放毯子的行为意味着传达他对病人的关心。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“I felt that he cared about me and, more importantly, understood what I was going through. He connected with me, and I trusted and obeyed everything he told me to do.(我觉得他关心我,更重要的是,他理解我的感受。他与我建立了联系,我信任并服从了他让我做的一切)”可知,A选项“表达对外科医生的感激之情”属于意图;根据第二段“This behavior was also modeled for me when I was a patient.(当我还是病人的时候,这种行为也是我的榜样)”可知,B选项“解释他给毛毯的行为”属于意图;根据第二段“Which brings me back to why I believe I should offer to bring my patients a blanket. To me it is the first step in communicating to the person that my priority is his or her comfort, both physical and emotional.(这让我回到了为什么我认为我应该给我的病人带一条毯子。对我来说,这是与他人沟通的第一步,我的首要任务是他或她的身体和情感上的舒适)”可知,C选项“暗示类似于给病人送薯条和送毯子的功能”属于意图;D选项没有提及,故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But in the end, if I have not made that connection with my patient, if I have not shown them I understand their needs, then I have failed them as a physician and as a person.(但最终,如果我没有和我的病人建立这种联系,如果我没有向他们展示我理解他们的需求,那么我就辜负了他们作为一个医生和一个人的期望)”可知,如果作者没有和他的病人建立联系,如果作者没有向病人表明他理解他们的需求,那么作者就觉得自己辜负了病人,无论是作为一名医生,还是作为一个人。换言之,作者认为要与病人建立联系,要向病人表明理解他们的需求,即把医生的关怀传达给病人是很重要的。即最后一句暗示向病人传达医生的护理很重要。故选C。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Getting a blanket and placing it on my patient is, in the end, a check and balance for me. I have the power to order hundreds of test and treatments. I strive to always be right (or at least never wrong). And on not so rare occasions, I help save a life. But in the end, if I have not made that connection with my patient, if I have not shown them I understand their needs, then I have failed them as a physician and as a person.(拿条毯子给我的病人盖上,最终对我来说是一种制衡。我有权安排数百项检查和治疗。我努力做到永远正确(或者至少从不犯错)。在不太罕见的情况下,我帮助拯救了一条生命。但最终,如果我没有和我的病人建立这种联系,如果我没有向他们展示我理解他们的需求,那么我就辜负了他们作为一个医生和一个人的期望)”以及文章讲述了作为一名医生,作者经常给有需要的病人准备一条毯子。这是因为作者在一次生病的时候,受到了 David医生的细心照料和关心,所以在作者当了医生以后,他也尽量为病人着想,理解他们的需求。可知,这篇文章强调了真诚照顾和理解病人的重要性。故选A。
D
When people from different cultures get to know each other well, the differences between them become less important because they recognize more and more things they have in common. People begin to see each other as an individual, rather than just as a representative of a particular culture. This can happen quickly when people are working or studying together.
However, problems can appear in situations where people from different cultures are put together but remain strangers. This often occurs in everyday life, for example, on public transport. Here, people may have different expectations of how to behave and often criticize the actions of people from other cultures that they do not understand very well.
Monica Sung, a sociologist, has been researching public attitudes to the televisions which are now put on many buses in Hong Kong, showing programmes and advertising for passengers to watch. Monica’s research shows that some people find this a “disturbance” because their expectations of bus travel are different, while other passengers like to have something to enjoy during their journey. “A Westerner wrote a letter to the newspaper, complaining about the noise of the televisions and saying that buses in his home country were more pleasant because they did not have televisions,” said Monica. “A Chinese person wrote a reply, telling the foreigner he should go back home if he preferred the buses there.”
Monica points out that both types of reaction are stupid. “Not all foreign people want quiet buses, and not all Chinese people want to watch television on buses!” she said. “People often take it for granted that every member of a particular cultural group shares the same values and opinions.”
32. What does the underlined words “an individual” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. A new comer considered as an outsider.
B. A close friend who shares the same values.
C. A single person considered separately from a culture.
D. A stranger who has become used to a new culture.
33. Why does Monica Sung choose to conduct her research on buses?
A. Taking a bus is what people do in everyday life.
B. Passengers are usually unkind to each other.
C. There are passengers from different cultures.
D. People have different expectations of bus service.
34. What can be inferred about the Chinese person?
A. He prefers buses without televisions.
B. He is in favor of televisions on buses.
C. He dislikes complaining to newspapers.
D. He enjoys taking buses with foreigners.
35. What message does the author try to get through to us?
A. People from different cultures should learn from each other.
B. People from different cultures should be polite to each other.
C. People from different cultures should not regard each other as strangers.
D. People should not criticize another culture only for what one from it does.
【答案】32. C 33. C 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章一项研究表明,不同文化背景的人,对事情表现有不同的期望,所以经常批评来自其他文化的人的行为,这是不对的。
【32题详解】
词义猜测题。由第一段中的“People begin to see each other as an individual, rather than just as a representative of a particular culture.”(人们开始将彼此视为一个(独立于一种特定文化的)个体,而不仅仅是一种特定文化的代表。),根据rather than just as representative of particular culture,可知an individual在此处指一个独立于一种特定文化的个体。故选C项。
33题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段“However, problems can appear in situations where people from different cultures are put together but remain strangers. This often occurs in everyday life, for example, on public transport. Here, people may have different expectations of how to behave and often criticize the actions of people from other cultures that they do not understand very well.”(然而,当来自不同文化背景的人聚在一起却仍然是陌生人时,问题就会出现。这经常发生在日常生活中,例如在公共交通工具上。在这里,人们可能对如何表现有不同的期望,并且经常批评他们并不十分了解的来自其他文化的人的行为。)和下文三四两段关于研究中有关西方人和中国人对公共汽车上的电视的不同看法,可知公交车上有来自不同文化背景的乘客,Monica Sung选择在公交车上进行研究,可以利用公交车上来自不同文化背景的乘客,得到不同文化背景的人对一事物的不同期望/看法。故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段中的““A Westerner wrote a letter to the newspaper, complaining about the noise of the televisions and saying that buses in his home country were more pleasant because they did not have televisions,” said Monica. “A Chinese person wrote a reply, telling the foreigner he should go back home if he preferred the buses there.””(Monica说:“一个西方人给报纸写了封信,抱怨电视机的噪音,并说他家乡的公共汽车因为没有电视而更令人愉快。一位中国人写了一封回信,告诉外国人如果他喜欢家乡的公共汽车,就应该回家”。),可知一位西方人抱怨香港公共汽车上电视噪音太大,而自己国家的公共汽车上因为没有电视所以很舒适,一位中国人反驳:“he should go back home if he preferred the buses there”,可见这位中国人是力挺在公共汽车上配备电视的。故选B项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中的“People begin to see each other as an individual, rather than just as a representative of a particular culture.”(人们开始将彼此视为一个(独立于一种特定文化的)个体,而不仅仅是一种特定文化的代表。),第二段“Here, people may have different expectations of how to behave and often criticize the actions of people from other cultures that they do not understand very well.”(在这里,人们可能对如何表现有不同的期望,并且经常批评他们并不十分了解的来自其他文化的人的行为)和最后一段“Monica points out that both types of reaction are stupid. “Not all foreign people want quiet buses, and not all Chinese people want to watch television on buses!” she said. “People often take it for granted that every member of a particular cultural group shares the same values and opinions.””(Monica指出,这两种反应都是愚蠢的。“不是所有的外国人都想要安静的公交车,也不是所有的中国人都想在公交车上看电视!”她说。“人们常常理所当然地认为,某一文化群体的每个成员都有相同的价值观和观点。”),可知个体并不是一种特定文化的代表,Monica并不赞同某一文化群体的每个成员都应有相同的价值观和观点,换句话说,来自同一文化背景的人也可以有不同的价值观,他们的行为不能代表这种特定文化,所以批评来自他们并不了解的其他文化的人的行为是愚蠢的,可推断出作者想要告诉读者:不能因为来自某一文化的个体的言行就批评这种文化,因为一个文化群体中的个体并不能代表这种文化,不能以偏概全。故选D项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)

【答案】36. D 37. E 38. C 39. A 40. F
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了独处的好处。
【36题详解】
根据前句However, being alone isn't necessarily a bad thing. 然而,独处并不一定是坏事,并且第二段首句提到的enjoy being alone可知,此处应该讲独处的好处。D. A handful of benefits will appear once you learn to enjoy being alone. 一旦你开始享受独处,你将看到一大把独处的好处。D选项中enjoy being alone起承上启下的作用,故选D。
【37题详解】
根据上句When you start to enjoy being alone, you'll get in touch with your own feelings. 当你开始享受独处时,你将了解你自己的感觉。E. You'll create a deeper understanding of what makes you happy and upset. 你将更加深层次的理解你的喜怒哀乐。进一步地说明your own feelings,故选E。
【38题详解】
根据下一句“you're burning a lot of energy.”可知,你将消耗大量精力。以及“Being alone is to the contrary.”独处正相反。所以可以判断,此处应该讲述与独处相反的事情。C. When you're surrounded by other people,当你和其他人在一起时,引起下文,故选C。
【39题详解】

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了清华大学的建立与发展历史。
【56题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:大学部是1925年建立。分析句子,简单句中除了提示词外无其余动词,故此处需填动词的时态。提示词和逻辑主语之间表示被动,且此处具有过去时的时间状语,所以需用过去时的被动语态。故填was founded。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:清华大学被迫迁往昆明。分析句子,简单句中已有动词 was forced,所以提示词需用非谓语动词。固定搭配 be forced to do sth 译为“被迫做某事”。故填to move。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意:由句意可知,此处表示抵抗日本的侵略。故填against。
【59题详解】
考查形容词。句意:1946年,学校在战后迁回原址北京。分析句子,提示词的词性为名词译为“根源”,划线后的location为名词,故需将提示词变为形容词修饰后面的名词。故填original。
【60题详解】
考查冠词。句意:他为清华成为国家中心做出了重大贡献。分析句子,make a contribution 译为“做贡献”,是固定短语。同时因为significant 非元音因素开头。故填a。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他为使清华成为国家培养伟大工程师和科学家的中心做出了重大贡献。分析句子,提示前有介词for,故需将提示词改为doing修饰,充当宾语。故填training。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意:他为使清华成为国家培养伟大工程师和科学家的中心做出了重大贡献。分析句子,and前接名词engineers(工程师),所以应将提示词变为名词-科学家和工程师并列被great修饰,且表示复数。故填scientists。
【63题详解】
考查连词。句意:自1978年中国对外开放以来,清华大学以惊人的速度发展成为一所研究型大学。分析句意,划线部分缺“自从”之意来引导时间状语从句。故填Since。
【64题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:清华建校以来,已有数以万计的学生毕业,其中有许多受到中国人民尊敬的杰出学者、杰出商人和伟大政治家。分析句子,此处考查介词+关系代词。在定语从句中,先行词指人则介词后用whom;若先行词指物,则介词后用which。此处的先行词指人--- Tens of thousands of students。所以介词among后应用whom。故填whom。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:有许多受到中国人民尊敬的杰出学者、杰出商人和伟大政治家。分析句子,从句部分已有动词are,故respect需要用非谓语动词。又因respect和逻辑主语之间表示被动。故填respected。

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。
Brutus had everything in the world: good food, good toys, and good clothes. But the problem was that he had to share them all with his three other brothers, Mack, Jack and Robert.
Brutus had to share his favorite cookie box with Mack, who always finished the whole box before Brutus could take a bite. He also had to share his toys with his youngest brother Jack, who always ended up breaking them. Brutus also had the unfortunate privilege of being given his older brother Robert’s hand-me-downs of old clothes.
Brutus hated sharing and wished he had nobody to share his belongings with. “Why can’t I be the only child?” Brutus sighed as he stared at the stars. “I wish I had no stupid brothers,” Brutus demanded at one sparkling star.
To his surprise, the star suddenly twinkled and fell towards his direction. The star inched closer and closer to his bedroom window. He screamed and tried to wake his brothers up but it was too late. The star crashed inside their room, followed by an ear-splitting explosion.
The next day, Brutus woke up with a bad headache. He rushed to his brothers’ beds to ask them if they were okay but was quickly shocked to see that their beds had been empty. They were nowhere to be found.
Brutus had the fortune of spending the whole morning playing with his toys. He put on his brother’s brand new clothes and sneakers which fit him perfectly. As he was checking himself in the mirror, he suddenly realized that his wish had come true. His brothers were gone and he had the whole world to himself.
“I can get used to this,” he said to himself happily
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When he felt hungry, his mother came back with a full box of cookies.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In this way, he spent five days as an only child before he felt the empty house was too quiet.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When he felt hungry, his mother came back with a full box of cookies. “They’re all for you, my dear son,” said Mom with a caring smile. Mom told him that his brothers had gone to visit his grandparents with his dad. Thinking that he could enjoy all the cookies alone, Brutus was wild with joy. With mouth watering, Brutus wolfed down four cookies before he felt too full to have more. Every day Brutus enjoyed playing toys, having delicious food and wearing new clothes without his brothers bothering.
In this way, he spent five days as an only child before he felt the empty house was too quiet. He needed someone to play with. Although he was well dressed, food didn’t taste good with nobody to share with. He began to miss his brothers. He realized their company was what he needed most. “I wish I wouldn’t be the only child any longer,”he thought, falling asleep. The next morning, a pillow hit Brutus on the head, waking him up. To his great delight, Brutus saw his brothers back! He sat up immediately to hug them and would never wish to separate from them!
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开,讲述Brutus有好吃的,好玩的,穿的也好,但这一切都不得和其他三个兄弟分享。他厌倦这样的生活,一天晚上对着星星许愿,希望自己是家里唯一的孩子。第二天起床后他发现其他三个兄弟都不见了踪影,感觉自己的愿望实现了,整个早上享受着不用和他人分享的生活。
【详解】1.段落续写
①根据第一段首句“当他感到饥饿时,他的母亲带着一整盒饼干回来了”可知,下文可描写妈妈告诉Brutus其他兄弟的去向,以及他独自享受美食、玩具和衣物的场景。
②根据第二段首句“就这样,他作为独生子女度过了五天,才觉得空房子太安静了”可知,下文可描写他开始想念兄弟们,明白了有他们的陪伴他才会快乐。
2.续写线索:妈妈回家——独自享用一切——五天后感觉无聊——意识到兄弟的陪伴很重要——兄弟们回来
3.词汇激活
行为类
①拜访:visit/pay a visit to/call on sb./drop in on sb
②看见:see/spot
③狼吞虎咽:wolf/take big bits
情绪类
①关爱的:caring/considerate
②快乐:joy/merriness
【点睛】[高分句型1] Thinking that he could enjoy all the cookies alone, Brutus was wild with joy. (运用了现在分词作状语,和that引导的宾语从句)
[高分句型2]Although he was well dressed, food didn’t taste good with nobody to share with. (运用了although引导的让步状语从句)
