Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I have now spent a week in the Amazon jungle in Brazil.The jungle is filled with many kinds of animals, birds, and fish.But chances of seeing these creatures are small, because they are easily frightened.Crocodiles, turtles, electric eels, and fish live in the Amazon River.
During a canoe ride one night, I sat quietly for almost an hour, trying to spot some of the jungle's creatures.With a flashlight,I finally saw squirrel monkeys running along tree branches.A crocodile eyed our canoe as it moved through the water.On our return to camp, I saw a large, hairy tarantula sitting on a tree stump (树桩).
Several native tribes make their homes along the banks of the Amazon River.For most of them, their style of living has hardly changed in the past 4000 years.I visited a village of the Yagua tribe.The people were interested in me, but cautious.The Yagua are shy people who will probably never get used to the sight of tourists.
The Yagua live on high wooden platforms covered by thatched roofs.They eat whatever the jungle supplies, including fish, bananas, and yucca plants.
The men wear grass skirts and hats.They paint red dye made from berries on their faces and necks.The women and children wear skirts of cloth and shirts of straw, but are not “made up” as the men are.The men spend the day hunting with blowguns that shoot poison darts.Meanwhile, the women and children keep the village in good order and make beads and the blowguns.
Before I left the village, the children asked me to write my name for them.They watched me with great interest as I wrote.I was sad to leave the village but grateful that the Yagua had been willing to share their lives with me.

解析 A 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But chances of seeing these creatures are small, because they are easily frightened.”可知,动物很难被发现是因为他们很容易被吓跑。故选A。
2.What is the Yagua people's attitude towards the author?

C.Grateful. D.Doubtful.
解析 B 细节理解题。根据第三段中“I visited a village of the Yagua tribe.The people were interested in me, but cautious.”可知,亚瓜人对作者的态度是小心谨慎的。故选B。
3.What can we know about the Yagua?
A.They use modern tools for hunting.

On September 7,1991,the costliest hailstorm(雹暴)in Canadian history hit Calgary's southern suburbs.As a result,since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project.Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones.But farmers in eastcentral Alberta — downwind of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture(水分)is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand,who farms in that area,has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years.“Basically,the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the CalgaryEdmonton urban area from hail,”Mr.Stienwand says,“but they're increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss,a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc.of Fargo,North Dakota.“We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air,so we cannot be causing drought,”Dr.Krauss says.“In fact,we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell,a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma.“In 1999,I personally saw significant tornadoes(龙卷风)form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,”Dr.Doswell says.“Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind?No one really knows,of course,but the seeding goes on.”
Given the degree of doubt,Mr.Stienwand suggests,“it would be wise to stop cloud seeding.”In practice,doubt has had the opposite effect.Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts,no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloudseeding companies.Hence,private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.
[语篇解读] 说明文。本文介绍了加拿大艾伯塔地区的防雹干预计划,以及不同相关方对该计划的不同态度。
5.What does the project aim to do?
A.Conserve moisture in the soil.
B.Prevent the formation of hailstones.
C.Forecast disastrous hailstorms.
D.Investigate chemical use in farming.
解析 B 细节理解题。题干中的“the project”指的就是第一段中所提到的“Alberta Hail Suppression Project”,因此根据第一段中的“Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones.”可知,飞机通过向有威胁性的风暴体播撒一种化学物质,使得小冰晶在变成危险的冰雹之前先变成雨落下。由此可知,这一计划旨在防止冰雹的形成,A项“保存土壤水分”;C项“预报灾难性雹暴”;D项“调查农业中化学品的使用”。故选B。
6.Who are opposed to the project?
A.Farmers in eastcentral Alberta.
B.Managers of insurance companies.
C.Provincial government officials.
D.Residents of Calgary and Edmonton.
解析 A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But farmers in eastcentral Alberta...worry that precious moisture(水分)is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.”可知,Alberta 中东部的农民担心人工降雨会带走他们干旱土地中的宝贵水分。由此可知,这些农民是反对这个计划的,故选A。
7.Why does Dr.Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999?
A.To compare different kinds of seeding methods.
B.To illustrate the development of big hailstorms.
C.To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding.
D.To show the link between storms and moisture.
解析 C 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell”可知,Doswell博士对人工降雨的安全性持怀疑态度。接着他提到1999年亲眼看见的一个已经被播撒了化学物质的风暴单体形成的重大龙卷风。随后他又提出疑问“Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind?”,怀疑人工降雨会产生致命的风暴或是减少下风处的水分。由此可推断出,Doswell博士提到他看到的1999 年的龙卷风是为了表明人工降雨存在可能的风险,A项“为了比较不同的播撒方式”;B项“为了说明大雹暴的形成”;C项“为了表明人工降雨可能存在的风险”;D项“为了说明风暴和水分之间的关系”。故选C。
8.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right.
B.Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.
C.The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared.
D.Cloudseeding companies will continue to exist.
解析 D 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“Hence,private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.”可知,私营的气候工程公司可以在相对合法的安全环境中继续进行下去,也就是这些公司会继续存在下去,A项“科学研究证明了 Stienwand 是对的”;B项“私营的气候工程公司在加拿大是非法的”;C项“关于人工降雨的疑虑已经消失了”;D项“人工降雨公司会继续存在下去”。故选D。
Ⅱ.七选五
When everything goes wrong, always look at what you have, instead of what you have lost.Because it's not what the world takes away from you that counts; it's what you do with what you have left. 1
Pain is part of growing.
2 That's a good thing because we often won't move unless life forces us to.When times are tough, remind yourself that no pain comes without a purpose.Remember that there are two kinds of pain: pain that hurts and pain that changes you.When you roll with life, instead of resisting it, both kinds help you grow.
3
Every time you get hurt, you heal.After darkness there is always light—you are reminded of this every morning, but still you often forget, and instead choose to believe that the night will last forever.It won't.Nothing lasts forever.
Complaining changes nothing.
Those who complain the most, accomplish the least. 4 It's not over if you've lost; it's over when you do nothing but complain about it.If you believe in something, keep trying.Don't let the shadows of the past darken the doorstep of your future.
The best thing you can do is to keep going.
Don't be afraid to get back up—to try again, to love again, to live again, and to dream again.Don't let a hard lesson harden your heart.Life's best lessons are often learned at the worst times and from the worst mistakes.There will be times when it seems like everything that could possibly go wrong is going wrong. 5
A.And even if you fall short, keep going.
B.Everything in life is temporary.
C.Here are a few tips to inspire you when you need it most.
D.Your scars are symbols of your strength.
E.When you feel like quitting, remember that sometimes things can be right eventually.
F.It's always better to attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed.
G.Sometimes life closes doors because it's time to move forward.

2.解析 G 下文“That's a good thing because we often won't move unless life forces us to.”说明不顺利的生活可能是让我们前进的动力,选项G“有时候,生活关上了一扇门,因为是时候前进了。”引领下文,说明生活不顺利,可能是我们需要努力前进了。下文中That指选项中life closes doors这件事,语义一致,故选G。
3.解析 B 下文说明生活中的不顺利不是永远的,选项B“生活中的一切都是暂时的。”符合本段主题,适合作小标题。故选B。
4.解析 F 上文小标题“Complaining changes nothing.”和下文“It's not over if you've lost; it's over when you do nothing but complain about it.”说明抱怨改变不了什么,只知道抱怨,不去尝试的话,那什么也收获不了,选项F“尝试做一些伟大的事情而失败,总比什么都不做而成功好。”引领下文,鼓励大胆尝试,不要怕输,也不必抱怨,和下文之间存在因果关系。故选F。
5.解析 A 上文小标题“The best thing you can do is to keep going.”和上文“Don't be afraid to get back up—to try again, to love again, to live again, and to dream again.”说明你能做的最好的事情就是坚持下去,不要因为失败就停止前进,选项A“即使你达不到目标,也要继续努力。”呼应小标题和上文,说明不管结果如何,也要继续努力。
