Here are some of the best for getting away from the crowds. Schiermonnikoog, the Netherlands Schier, as locals call their island, is primarily a national park, covered in forests and with some of Europe's most untouched beaches. Only residents are allowed to drive cars on the island, which you can get to by taking a 45-minute ferry （渡轮） ride. Once there, visitors can hunt for beautiful and specially-shaped stones washed ashore on the island's wide white beaches, go diving or take surfing lessons along natural sandbanks. Flores, Portugal Flores Island in the westernmost stretches of the Azores is a nature lover's dream. Deep blue lakes, vivid green valleys and boiling hot springs are among the otherworldly sights on the 55-square-mile volcanic island home to 3,400 people, where you can arrive via flights from other Azorean islands. Naustholmen, Norway Visitors can take ferries to reach this private island owned by Norwegian adventurer Randi Skaug, the first Norwegian woman to climb Mount Qomolangma. Naustholmen guests spend their days going boating or hiking to the top of the Lofoten Islands for sunset views. They can also simply do nothing at all, surrounded by the silence and beauty of this remote place. Skyros, Greece For a more isolated （隔绝） experience, set your sights to the island of Skyros. One of 24 islands in the Sporades chain in the northwest Aegean Sea, Skyros is reached via flights from mainland Greece as well as by ferry from the mainland and other nearby Greek islands. In addition to Skyros' famous carnival （狂欢节） which puts the island into nonstop party mode, it's a perfect place for swimmers to register for a surfing class. 21．What do Schiermonnikoog and Skyros have in common? A. They both have a national park. B. They both offer surfing lessons. C. They both give free ferry service. D. They both throw attractive parties. 22．What can a tourist do in Naustholmen? A. Take a rowing-boat race. B. Climb the volcanic island. C. Enjoy the beautiful sunset. D. Pick up unique beach stones. 23．Which destination suits tourists interested in hot springs? A. Skyros. B. Naustholmen. C. Flores. D. Schiermonnikoog. [答案] 21．B 22．C 23．C [解析] 21．根据Schiermonnikoog, the Netherlands部分中的“Once there, visitors can hunt for...or take surfing lessons along natural sandbanks.”和Skyros, Greece部分中的“it's a perfect place for swimmers to register for a surfing class”可知,两地的共同点是它们都提供冲浪课程。 22．根据Naustholmen, Norway部分中的“Naustholmen guests spend their days...for sunset views.”可知,游客可以在该岛上欣赏美丽的日落。 23．根据Flores, Portugal部分中的“Deep blue lakes...boiling hot springs are among the otherworldly sights”可知,弗洛雷斯岛适合对温泉感兴趣的人。 【解题导语】 本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了欧洲几个远离人群的岛屿。 B Lillian had just started working as a lifesaver at a beach in Australia on New Year's Eve when beach-goers started to point and shout at the water. The workers quickly examined the situation and saw that a kangaroo had jumped out of the bushes （灌木丛）—straight into the sea. The animal seemed confused by the fishermen standing on the rocks. So instead of turning back and heading back into the bushes, it jumped right into the water! The poor guy bobbed （摆动） around in the waves and went underwater several times before Lillian decided to take action. As with any other animal rescue, it's important to approach the situation with prudence. Wild animals that are stressed can become dangerous to their rescuers, and Lillian was aware of the risks as she took her rescue board and hit the water at a run.“It just didn't want to come to the beach because it was kind of scared,” she said.“I was trying to figure out how to get it on the board. But considering that it's a wild animal, even though I was helping, I wouldn't want to be hurt by it or make it more stressed out.” As beach-goers recorded the rescue on their phones, Lillian paddled （用桨划船） behind the animal carefully and guided the kangaroo onto the beach. As soon as Lillian's feet touched the sand, the beach erupted in cheers for her!“It was quite special. As people there were cheering and clapping, the kangaroo was just sitting up there in the bushes and staring at me, as if it was conveying something with its shining eyes,” Lillian said.“I didn't think that was going to ever be my first rescue, I may have more rescues in the future, but none would be as memorable as this one.” 24．What happened to the kangaroo? A. It jumped off the rocks by mistake. B. It jumped into the sea by accident. C. It was forced to leave the bushes. D. It was washed away into the sea. 25．What does the underlined word “prudence” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Inspiration. B. Hope. C. Care. D. Shock. 26．How did the kangaroo react to its rescuer? A. It couldn't wait to leave her. B. It was worried about her safety. C. It was confused about her action. D. It seemed grateful for her help. 27．Which of the following can best describe Lillian? A. Far-sighted and independent. B. Talented and positive. C. Brave and cautious. D. Determined and ambitious. [答案] 24．B 25．C 26．D 27．C [解析] 24．细节理解题。根据第二段前两句可知,袋鼠意外地跳进了海里。 25．词义猜测题。根据第三段第二句可知,救援受惊的野生动物对救生员而言是很危险的。由此可推知,救生员应该是“小心”地处理这种情况。 26．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It was quite special...conveying something with its shining eyes”可推知,袋鼠似乎很感激她的帮助。 27．推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第三段第二句以及最后一段第一句可知,莉莉安是勇敢且谨慎的。 【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了莉莉安营救落水袋鼠的故事。 C Being able to tell human faces apart is a skill that almost every person has, although some are far better at it than others. But a new study from a journal says that this is not just a skill that humans possess. Even fish can do it. Following up on research studying different species' abilities to recognise human faces （sheep, dogs, cows, horses, and birds have all been tried）,the researchers from the University of Oxford and the University of Queensland decided to pick an animal that does not have an evolved neocortex （大脑新皮层）,the part of the brain that processes sight and sounds, and does not have a close relationship with humans. That way, there would be no reason why these test subjects （实验对象） would have a past history of identifying human faces. So they picked the archerfish, a reef fish variety that shoots water into the air to knock its prey （猎物） out of the sky. They used this adaptation to have the fish spray water at a face on a monitor hanging over their tanks for a reward. Most of the fish were able to pick out their learnt faces, even when colours were taken away or methods were used to make the face shapes unclear. This study gives more backing to the hypothesis （假设） that differentiating between faces is not just a skill that big-brained organisms are born with. It is possible that a good portion of face recognition is learnt over time. The development of the neocortex may contribute only to quickly processing a large number of faces in varying situations. But more work needs to be conducted to find a deeper link to this possible learnt behaviour. The subject of this study was very small—only eight fish were used altogether. Also, the faces displayed on the monitor were only white, female faces from a German database, shown in a frontal view, with no expressions. Other animal trials have shown that some species, like pigeons, respond more to differing angles and varied expressions. 28．Why were the archerfish chosen as test subject? A. Because they are cleverer than other species. B. Because they have sharp vision and hearing. C. Because they aren't closely related to humans. D. Because they spray water to hit the prey. 29．What is the author's attitude towards the study? A. Cautious. B. Negative. C. Positive. D. Sympathetic. 30．What is the purpose of this passage? A. To introduce a scientific discovery. B. To present the differences between species. C. To show how animals tell human faces apart. D. To introduce the animals that can recognise human faces. 31．Which of the following is suggested for similar studies in the future? A. Including more experimental subjects. B. Enlarging the human faces. C. Employing more male researchers. D. Using black-and-white pictures. [答案] 28．C 29．A 30．A 31．A [解析] 28．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“does not have a close relationship with humans...So they picked the archerfish”可知,选择射水鱼作为实验对象是因为它们和人类的关系并不密切。 29．观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“It is possible that...varied expressions.”可推知,作者对这项研究持谨慎态度。 30．写作意图题。通读全文，尤其是第一段内容可推知,这篇文章的目的是介绍一项科学发现。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的倒数第二、第三句可推知,今后开展类似的研究时,建议有更多的实验对象。 【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。研究表明,辨别人脸不仅是人类所特有的技能,鱼类等其他物种也能做到。文章介绍了研究人员用射水鱼来进行这项研究的原因及实验过程。 D The sharp fin （鳍）. The rows upon rows of sharp teeth. The large black eyes. The sharks you see on television in Jaws or Discovery's “Shark Week” are not the friendliest looking creatures. They aren't exactly an animal you want to find near you while swimming in the ocean. Despite their portrayals （刻画） in movies and popular culture, sharks are complicated, misunderstood creatures that are weaker than they appear. One very common misunderstanding about sharks is their desire to hunt humans. Actually when sharks attack humans, it is because they mistake a human for their normal prey （猎物）, seals or dolphins. They don't seek out humans on purpose. Statistically, you are more likely to be struck by lightning than be bitten by a shark. Sharks are very important to the ocean as they are at the top of the food chain. Some sharks even control the balance of an ecosystem through fear alone. Tiger sharks in Australia help protect seagrass meadows from turtles. Turtles eat the seagrass and without the sharks, will destroy these meadows. When tiger sharks are present though, the turtles are scared away, holding back their appetite for seagrass and protecting its growth. Though sharks have a reputation for being very scary to humans, the sad truth is that they should be scared of humans. The number of sharks in the ocean is steadily dropping. There are a few reasons for this. For one, they mature quite slowly, over several years, and produce relatively few young. For another, overfishing of sharks is happening because more and more people want their fins. About 100 million sharks are killed every year according to National Geographic. Shark fin is a way for people to show off their wealth. Shark fins are also believed to have medicinal benefits, though there is no evidence or proof that they actually do. 32．What do most people think about sharks? A. They are ugly. B. They are important. C. They are violent. D. They are complicated. 33．Why does the author compare shark bites to lightning strikes？ A. To show shark bites are deadly. B. To show shark bites are rare. C. To show shark bites are unavoidable. D. To show shark bites are unpredictable. 34．Why should sharks be scared of humans according to the author? A. Humans keep sharks to show off. B. Humans kill sharks in large quantities. C. Humans catch sharks for medical research. D. Humans are greater in number than sharks. 35．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. SOS: Save Our Sharks! B. Sharks: King of the Ocean C. Shark Fins: an Ecological Crisis D. Sharks: Killers or Misunderstood? [答案] 32．C 33．B 34．B 35．D [解析] 32．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“One very common misunderstanding...don't seek out humans on purpose.”可知，大多数人对鲨鱼的误解是鲨鱼想要猎杀人类，也就是鲨鱼是暴力的。 33．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“They don't seek out humans on purpose...be struck by lightning than be bitten by a shark.”可知，作者将被鲨鱼咬伤的可能性和被闪电击中的可能性相比较是为了说明被鲨鱼咬伤的可能性极小。 34．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Though sharks have a reputation for being very scary to humans...overfishing of sharks is happening because more and more people want their fins.”可知，鲨鱼应该惧怕人类是因为人类过度捕捞鲨鱼。 35．标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了人们对鲨鱼的误解以及鲨鱼的真实情况等。因此，D项最适合作文章标题。 【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们对鲨鱼的误解，鲨鱼在海洋生态系统中的重要性，以及鲨鱼面临的威胁和生存状态。 第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分） 阅读下面的短文,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。 There has been a remarkable rise in the popularity of house plants over the past few years, with trendy new shops popping up all over the country selling every kind of plant you can imagine. 36.   But follow a few basic tips and you'll soon get the hang of it. Choosing your plant doesn't seem that simple. It's a common mistake to wander into a shop and grab the plant that you first see, but it's important to understand what type of environment you're introducing it to before picking one out. 37.   For example, some plants are better suited to maximum light and heat, while others prefer cooler spots. 38.   One of the most common reasons for houseplant killing is overwatering. You might think it has a constant thirst but chances are that it won't take to spending extended periods sitting in wet soil. Every plant is different, so research is once more key, but generally home-dwellers like watering most when they're growing rapidly （spring and summer） and prefer an occasional water when the soil is dry, rather than as a daily routine. 39.   Your plants may actually need feeding. While some house plants don't need many nutrients to grow, others are greedy for extra nutritional goodness （especially those that display flowers and fruits）. 40.   And you'll also need to check what type of fertilizer each variety requires and how much to use each time. A.Using good soil for your plant is vital. B.Different plants require different amounts of water. C.Taking care of plants is much easier than raising other creatures. D.And always use water that has been brought up to room temperature. E.Looking after house plants isn't always as straightforward as some think. F.As with watering, they'll need more food during their growing season than during winter. G.A little research before buying will save you lots of stress when you get your plants home.

After lunch when I was chatting with him and his wife Cody, he asked me, “Hey, Thora, have you ever been to a secret spot?” Before I could even finish saying no, Cody and Mark were already at the door with their jackets on. And the next moment we were heading out into the forest with a camera, a fishing net and a plastic bucket （桶）. We walked through the forest along a path by a small river. Breathing the fresh air, we three talked and laughed all the way. “Hey! What are you guys doing?” someone suddenly shouted from behind. Mark and Cody's eyes immediately widened, and without a word they started running. I had no choice but to follow them, getting my shoes wet and dirty with mud. We probably ran for about 10 minutes before Mark and Cody slowed down. I stopped to catch my breath and asked, “Who was that?” Mark replied, “The most annoying neighbour ever. There's no telling what could happen if he caught up with us. He is always making fun of us. I dislike him.” We kept walking on for a few more minutes. Then a beautiful lake appeared before our eyes.“Wow! Amazing!” I shouted and could hardly hold back my excitement. The lake was large and the water was deep and blue, looking so peaceful with tall trees around it. 注意:续写词数应为150个左右。 Looking around, we saw a boat floating by the shore.   “Help! Help! Help!” I was so frightened and cried for help.   [答案] One possible version: Looking around, we saw a boat floating by the shore. “How about going boating?” Mark asked. “Good idea,” I agreed. I was excited to find so many fishes in the lake. Before I could say a word, Mark had cast the fishing net into the water.“Look this way. Let me take a photo of you two,” Cody said, taking out the camera. Hearing that, I quickly approached Mark. But all of a sudden, I lost my balance and fell into the water. “Help! Help! Help!” I was so frightened and cried for help. However, none of us could swim. Mark and Cody tried to pull me up from the water but failed. Struggling in the water, I was almost exhausted. Suddenly, I felt myself lifted by someone. It was Mark's neighbour, who followed us there. Without hesitation, he jumped into the water and saved me. 104/109 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
