Here's when and where to see these flowers across the US. 　　National Cherry Blossom Festival(Washington, D.C., March 20-April 13) 　　Twelve species of flowering cherry tree surround the Tidal Basin fronting the Potomac River in National Capital Parks. Their beautiful flowers attract some 1.5 million people during the four-week celebration, which is in honor of spring and international friendship. Events include a kite festival, a parade and fireworks, while across the capital, schools and neighborhoods plant new trees, and everything from buildings to buses are covered with pink. 　　International Cherry Blossom Festival(Macon, Georgia, March 21-30) 　　Georgia's Macon-Bibb County has the largest concentration of cherry trees in any U.S. county—and boasts nearly one hundred times more than the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The area celebrates its blossoms with plant sales, a parade, concerts, outdoor movies, and markets. The festival ends with hot air balloon rides and fireworks over downtown. 　　Ohio University's Cherry Blossom Festival(Athens, Ohio, March 31-April 15) 　　Ohio University's 230 cherry trees, living gifts from its sister institution, Chubu University in Japan, line the bike path along the Hocking River beyond campus. Each year, during peak bloom—usually late March to mid-April—the blossoms across from Wren baseball stadium are lit by lights for late-night viewing. The Japanese Student Association hosts a Sakura Festival to celebrate their flowering. 21.What do the National Cherry Blossom Festival and the International Cherry Blossom Festival have in common? A.Both of them include a kite festival. B.Both of them include outdoor movies. C.Both of them end with hot air balloon rides. D.Both of them include a parade and fireworks. 22.When can you attend the Ohio University's Cherry Blossom Festival? A.April 25.　　　B.April 13. C.March 30.　　　D.March 21. 23.In which column can you read this text? A.Travel.　　　B.Health. C.Lifestyle.　　　D.Education. B 　　A six-year-old longing to keep a unicorn(独角兽) in her backyard figured she'd get the hard part out of the way first. 　　Last November, Madeline wrote a letter to the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control(DACC) with a straightforward request. “Dear DACC, I would like your approval for my having a unicorn in my backyard if I can find one. Please send me a letter in response.” 　　Mayeda, director of the department, replied two weeks later. She said the department does in fact license unicorns under certain conditions. Those include polishing the unicorn's horn at least once a month with a soft cloth, feeding it watermelon at least once a week, covering it with only sparkles and giving it regular access to sunlight, moonbeams and rainbows. And, because unicorns are indeed very rare to find, the department also gave Madeline a toy unicorn to keep her company during her search, as a token of appreciation. 　　“It is always rewarding to hear from young people who thoughtfully consider the requirements of providing a loving home for animals,” Mayeda wrote in the letter. “I like your sense of responsibility towards pets to seek permission in advance to keep a unicorn in your backyard.” 　　Mayeda told The Washington Post that this is the first time the department has received a request for a license for a unicorn or any other mythical creature. They were impressed with the first-grader wanting to ask permission in the first place, and doing her research to work out how to go about that. She and her colleagues deal with a lot of “life-and-death” issues on the job, whether that's seeing cases of animal abuse or animals hurting people, or making decisions about having to put down dangerous or sick animals. So Madeline's letter has considerably brightened their spirits, and she is due to visit the department this week to discuss her unicorn license application. Safe to say, she's in for a magical surprise. 24.Why did Madeline write the letter? A.To apply to visit a unicorn. B.To figure out how to find a unicorn. C.To learn to provide animal care. D.To ask permission to keep a unicorn. 25.What can we learn from paragraph 3? A.Madeline's application was not approved. B.Madeline was presented with a live unicorn. C.Requirements should be met for the license. D.Guidance was given for her search. 26.Which of the following best describes Mayeda? A.Generous.　　　B.Easy-going.　　　　C.Mean.　　　D.Thoughtful. 27.Why does the department think the letter “has considerably brightened their spirits”? A.Because they are touched with the girl's deeds. B.Because animal protection is a life-and-death issue. C.Because they are worn out with their daily work. D.Because it is the first application letter for a unicorn. C 　　Natural disasters take many different forms and can happen without warning. Earthquakes, floods, volcano eruptions, droughts, typhoons, and hurricanes are all natural disasters. 　　The earthquake of 26 December, 2004 resulted in one of the worst natural disasters in living memory. It was a massive underwater quake that occurred in the Indian Ocean. This caused a huge tsunami to cross the Indian Ocean. It destroyed coastlines and communities and brought death and destruction. The survivors needed fresh water, food and shelter as well as medical help. People from all over the world offered assistance and made donations. 　　The surface of the Earth has not always looked as it does today; it is moving continuously(although very slowly) and has done so for billions of years. This is one cause of earthquakes—one section of the Earth crashes into another. Scientists can predict where this might happen. The crack in the surface of the earth is called a fault line. However, earthquakes do not always happen along fault lines, which is why they are so dangerous and unpredictable. 　　All the disasters are very dangerous and continue to kill thousands of people each year, but they are nowhere near the most dangerous disaster to ever happen on earth. One type of event in the earth's history has regularly killed millions of beings: asteroid(小行星) impacts(撞击). About once every million years the Earth is hit by a piece of rock and ice from space large enough to cause massive destruction(including earthquakes, volcano eruptions and ice ages) and sometimes to kill entire species. Sixty-six million years ago more than half the earth's species were killed by such a disaster, including all the dinosaurs. Disasters on the Earth may seem dangerous, but the biggest threat to humans is likely to come from space. 28.What did the world do when the tsunami occurred in the Indian Ocean? A.They gave away money to the beggars. B.They donated money to help the survivors. C.They donated their possessions to the survivors. D.They helped rebuild the coastlines and communities. 29.What can scientists predict about earthquakes? A.The possible time. B.The possible climate. C.The possible place. D.The possible frequency. 30.What can we conclude according to the passage? A.There are some signs before natural disasters. B.Earthquakes always happen along fault lines. C.The huge tsunami in the Indian Ocean was caused by an earthquake. D.We humans can do something to prevent natural disasters. 31.According to the passage, which can be the most dangerous natural disaster? A.Asteroid impacts.　　　B.Earthquakes. C.Tsunamis.　　　D.Volcanoes. D 　　Several years ago, Jason Box, a glaciologist, flew 31 giant rolls of white plastic to a glacier(冰川) in Greenland. He and his team spread them across 10,000 feet of ice, then left. His idea was that the white blanket would reflect back the rays of the sun, keeping the ice cool below. When he came back to check the results, he found it worked. Exposed ice had melted faster than covered ice. He had saved two feet of the glacier in a short time. No coal plants(火电厂) were shut down, no jobs were lost, and nobody was taxed or fired. Just the sort of fix we're looking for. 　　“Thank you, but no thank you,” said Konrad Steffen, a climate scientist. He told Craig Childs, an author and commentator, that people think technology can save the planet, but there are other things we need to deal with, like consumption. They burned $50,000 just for the helicopter to bring the plastic to the glacier. This experiment, quote-unquote, gives people false hope that climate change can be fixed without changing human behavior. It can't. Technology won't give us a free ride. 　　Individuals respond to climate change differently. Climatologist Maureen Raymo is hardly alone in her prediction that someday soon we won't be climate victims(受害者); we will be climate choosers. More scientists agree with her—if the human race survives, the engineers will get smarter, the tools will get better, and one day we will control the climate. But what then? “Just the mention of us controlling the climate sent a small shiver down my back,” Craig writes. “Something sounded wrong about stopping ice melting by our own will,” he says. 　　Me? I like it better when the earth takes care of itself. I guess one day we will have to run the place, but for the moment, sitting at my desk, looking out at the trees bending wildly and the wind howling, I'm happy not to be in charge. 32.Why does the author mention Jason Box's experiment in the first paragraph? A.To introduce a possible solution to climate change. B.To describe a misleading attempt to fix the climate change. C.To report on a successful experiment on saving the glacier. D.To arouse people's attention to the problem of global warming. 33.Which statement would Konrad Steffen most probably agree with? A.The experiment against climate change will not succeed. B.Technology is not the final solution, let alone its high cost. C.It's best to deal with climate change without changing our behavior. D.Jason's experiment plays a significant role in fixing climate change. 34.Which of the following words has the similar meaning to the underlined word in Paragraph 3? A.Approval.　　　B.Urge. C.Shudder(发抖).　　　D.Submission. 35.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A.But should we fix the climate? B.Is climate change a real problem? C.How can we take care of the earth? D.What if all the glaciers disappeared? 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 　　阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 　　You may not be able to change your school's environmental policy, but you can be the change you want to see in the world. Going eco-friendly can raise awareness of environmental issues. Here are some ways that can help you go green. 　　Take notes electronically. 　　 　36　 Use a digital device such as a laptop or tablet to take your notes. This will stop paper waste and also save you tons of money! In case you don't have a tablet or laptop, purchase a budget-friendly device. 　37　 And there are lots of devices to choose from that will do just fine for note-taking, research, and so on.  　　Embrace recycling. 　　How many soft drink cans, paper about lecture notes, plastic water bottles, and snack food packaging does every student throw away? 　38　 But you can do something about it. Focus your attention on recycling. Most areas have curbside recycling bins, so make sure that you place the recycled waste in the right bin.  　　　39　  　　The emission of air pollutants from transport is one of the biggest enemies of a healthy environment. To reduce the environmental impact of transport and improve air quality, use sustainable transport. Switch from car rides to bicycling. Also, if you are hanging out with your friends nearby, take a walk. In addition to reducing air pollution, you'll also keep healthy. 　　Eat some greens. 　　You don't have to turn into a vegetarian, but you might want to consider increasing your greens. Vegetarian meals are good for your health, and they have a lower carbon footprint. Start off by introducing a meat-free day.

We ran down the stairs to the main floor. The girls stood by the front door while I checked for the cause of the alarms. When I opened the door to my living room, I could see the carpets were smoking heavily. My house was really on fire. 　　I shouted to the girls, “Get out! The house is on fire!” They turned and ran out the front door, followed by me. Then we ran through the woods to our neighbor's house. I knocked on my neighbor's front door as fire engines passed by. 　　Later, I was told that it took the firemen a long time to put out the fire. Standing outside my burned house the next day, I got caught up in lots of questions. I had no cash or bank cards. How was I going to pay for anything? Where would we live? What would happen to my house now? I didn't even know where to start. Luckily, our community helped us a lot. 　　The fire burned almost everything, but I still decided to visit our burned house to search through the ruins. It's interesting how you learn what really matters to you in those conditions. I found myself primarily searching for my father's watch. I also found other treasures as I searched for his watch, including the ring my mom gave me when I left for college, a watch my grandmother gave me for high school graduation, and my daughter's unworn dress, which was ruined. I found the last shirt my father had worn before his hospital stay. We had taken a trip after his second course of chemo(化疗). It was the last vacation we had taken before his death. At that moment, I felt differently about the fire. 注意:续写词数应为150个左右。 　　I realized the fire gave us more than it took away. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　My dad's watch is on my bedside table now,which is a reminder that anyone or anything can be lost without warning. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  答案全解全析 1.B 2.A 3.A 4.C 5.B 6.C 7.B 8.A 9.B 10.B 11.A 12.B 13.C 14.A 15.C 16.B 17.B 18.C 19.C 20.A 21.D 22.B 23.A 24.D 25.C 26.D 27.A 28.B 29.C 30.C 31.A 32.B 33.B 34.C 35.A 36.F 37.D 38.A 39.B 40.G 41.D 42.C 43.C 44.A 45.D 46.B 47.A 48.B 49.C 50.B 51.D 52.C 53.A 54.B 55.C 56.which　57.alarming　58.because　59.shot　60.their　61.reduction　62.hunting　63.to　64.measures　65.are being built 第二部分　阅读 第一节 A 　　◎语篇解读　本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了美国的三个樱花节,包括樱花开放时间和活动安排等信息。 21.D　细节理解题。根据National Cherry Blossom Festival中的最后一句可知,活动包括风筝节、游行和烟花;根据International Cherry Blossom Festival中的最后一句可知,节日以市中心上方的热气球飞行和烟花表演结束,所以这两个节日的共同点是都有游行和烟花。故选D。 22.B　 细节理解题。根据Ohio University's Cherry Blossom Festival(Athens, Ohio, March 31-April 15)可知,如果想参加该节日可以在4月13日去。故选B。 23.A　 推理判断题。根据第一段可知,文章主要介绍了美国几个观赏樱花的节日,这属于旅游方面的内容,所以文章可能选自“Travel”栏目。故选A。 B 　　◎语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了6岁女孩Madeline为了能在后院饲养独角兽向官方申请许可,她童真的请求为常处理严肃动物事务的部门带来了温暖与欢乐。 24.D　 细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第一、二句可知,Madeline写信是为了请求官方允许她饲养一只独角兽。故选D。 25.C　 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知,许可证的发放需要满足特定条件。故选C。 26.D　 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句和第四段最后一句可知,Mayeda赠送玩具独角兽陪伴Madeline,并在信中肯定了Madeline的责任感,这些体现了她考虑周到。generous慷慨的;easy-going随和的;mean吝啬的;thoughtful周到的。故选D。 27.A　 推理判断题。根据题干信息“has considerably brightened their spirits”可定位至最后一段,根据最后一段第一、二句可推知,小女孩充满童真的请求以及负责任的态度让他们深受感动,从而振奋了他们的精神。故选A。 C 　　◎语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自然灾害的两种类型及其危害。 28.B　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知,当印度洋发生海啸时,世界各地的人们都捐款帮助幸存者。故选B。 29.C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Scientists can predict where this might happen”可知,科学家可以预测可能发生地震的地点。故选C。 30.C　细节理解题。根据第二段前三句可知,这次地震引发了印度洋的巨大海啸。故选C。 31.A　细节理解题。根据最后一段前两句可知,小行星撞击可能是最危险的自然灾害。故选A。 D 　　◎语篇解读　本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了科学家Jason Box企图控制气候变化的极端例子及其他科学家对这一例子的不同观点,并阐述了作者自己的想法,即反对人类控制气候,要让地球自我修复。 32.B　推理判断题。根据第一段提到的Jason Box的实验和第二段最后三句可知,Jason Box做了一个实验,尝试用白色塑料覆盖冰川,以达到保护冰川的目的。从而引出后文对人类干预气候的可行性的探讨,因此作者在第一段提到Jason Box的实验是为了描述一种具有误导性的解决气候变化的尝试。故选B。 33.B　推理判断题。根据第二段后四句可知,Konrad Steffen认为在环保问题上,技术并不是最终的解决方案,更不用说其高昂的费用了。故选B。 34.C　词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句可知,Grey认为根据人类的意愿阻止冰川融化有问题,结合选项可推测画线词所在句应表示“提到控制气候的想法我就后背颤抖了一下”,故shiver表示“颤抖,战栗”。故选C。 35.A　主旨大意题。前三段介绍了Jason企图控制气候变化的极端例子及其他科学家对此不同的观点,最后一段作者提出更喜欢地球自己照料自己,即反对人类利用科技手段控制气候。因此本文主要讲的是人类是否应该控制气候。因此A项“但我们应该干预气候吗?”为本文的最佳标题。故选A。 第二节 　　◎语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些能够帮助你参与环保的方法。 36.F　根据小标题“Take notes electronically.”和设空处后两句可知,本段介绍了使用数字设备做笔记及其益处,这是利用科技的表现。F项“为什么不利用生活在科技时代的优势呢?”引出了利用科技的话题,引出下文使用电子设备做笔记的介绍。故选F。 37.D　上文建议购买经济实惠的设备,D项“你不需要超级昂贵的东西。”承接上文,进一步说明做笔记不需要特别昂贵的设备,强调设备只要能满足基本需求即可。故选D。 38.A　上文提问学生扔掉的各种垃圾的数量有多少,A项“多得我们数不清!”承接上文,对这个问题进行了回答,形象地说明了学生丢弃的垃圾很多。故选A。 39.B　 本段主要讨论的是交通对环境的影响以及倡导使用可持续的交通方式。B项“选择可持续的交通方式”准确地概括了段落主旨,适合作为小标题,transport是原词复现。故选B。 40.G　上文鼓励大家自己种植水果和蔬菜,G项“你甚至可以加入到社区的园丁之中,学习一些技巧。”承接上文,进一步说明和种植相关的内容。故选G。 第三部分　语言运用 第一节 　　◎语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了飓风过后,作者及其朋友给无家可归的孩子们送去温暖的故事。文章告诉我们,任何小的善举都会对社会产生巨大的影响。 41.D　根据前文的“A storm was coming.”和后文的“making driving impossible”可知,雨猛烈地敲打着车窗。故选D。 42.C　根据前文的“making driving impossible”和后文的“onto the shoulder of the road and stopped”可知,雨下得很大,驾驶变得困难,作者不得不把车开到路边停下来。故选C。 43.C　根据后文的叙述可知,这场雨使作者想起了飓风“卡特里娜”。remind sb. of...使某人想起……。故选C。 44.A　根据后文的“A reporter stood inside the Houston stadium”可知,作者看到一位记者站在休斯敦体育场内,所以作者曾经观看的是飓风“卡特里娜”的新闻报道。故选A。 45.D　根据前文的“A reporter stood inside the Houston stadium”可知,此处指记者在现场采访受灾民众。故选D。 46.B　根据前文的“dirty”和后文的“some had no shoes on their feet”可知,灾民穿着又脏又破的衣服。故选B。 47.A　根据后文的“an old teddy bear”和选项可知,此处指这个小男孩抱着一只泰迪熊。故选A。 48.B　根据后文的“me for our volunteer club and we came up with a plan”可知,作者的朋友们和作者一起去了志愿者俱乐部。故选B。 49.C　根据后文的“toys and give them to the kids at the stadium”和“the donation boxes were overflowing with new toys”可知,作者和朋友收集玩具后再把玩具送给孩子们。故选C。 50.B　根据前文的“give them to the kids at the stadium”和后文的“smiles lighting up their faces”可知,玩具能够给经历灾难的孩子们带来快乐。故选B。 51.D　根据后文的“the word to the school and other organizations”可知,此处表示将信息广而告之,符合募集活动宣传的过程。故选D。 52.C　根据后文的“the stadium with our gifts”可知,此处描述了作者和朋友携带捐赠物品进入体育馆。故选C。 53.A　根据后文的“toward us from all directions, smiles lighting up their faces”可知,此处描写了孩子们急切而兴奋地跑向他们的情景,“飞奔”符合语境。故选A。 54.B　根据前文的“Suddenly, a phone call brought me back to the present.

There is no doubt that the earth is getting warmer and warmer. It's time for us to take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 　　To begin with, we can turn off the electrical appliances when they're not being used. In addition, it's necessary to use things made from recycled materials. Furthermore, more trees should be planted, which can absorb carbon dioxide amazingly. 　　In a word, I do believe our joint efforts to slow global warming count and will definitely pay off. 第二节 One possible version: 　　I realized the fire gave us more than it took away. One of the greatest gifts we received was the kindness and care from our community. Some people dropped by with food, clothing and money. Others came to help us search for treasures in the ruins. My warm-hearted neighbor offered a room to the three of us while our house was being repaired. Another greatest gift we received was the belief that nothing matters more than family. The fire did burn away lots of our personal items, but we saved the most valuable things. 　　My dad's watch is on my bedside table now,which is a reminder that anyone or anything can be lost without warning. I learn to treasure everything I have and not to complain about the loss. I also teach Alexis and Sierra to do the same as me. Most importantly, my girls and I keep paying attention to those who are in trouble. It is of great importance for us to pay back the kindness we have received, for which we will be grateful forever. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
