【导语】本文讲述了大卫·黑尔斯(David Hales)出门测试雪地机动车,因走错路被困,在艰难求生两天后最终被警察救起的故事。
【16题详解】
句意:黑尔斯没有为这次短途旅行带食物和水,也没有带手机。
上文提到“take a short ride”,说明是短途出行,trip“旅行,出行”符合。play“玩耍”、sport“运动”均与短途出行的语境不符。
【17题详解】
句意:一开始一切都很顺利,直到他转错了弯。
根据语境,前面说一切顺利,后面说转错弯,是转折关系,until“直到”符合,表示直到转错弯之前都顺利。once“一旦”、after“在……之后”均不符合此处的时间逻辑。
【18题详解】
句意:“我以为我知道路,但我转错了方向。”
上文提到“made a wrong turn”,所以这里说转错了方向,wrong“错误的”符合。short“短的”、straight“直的”均与转错方向的语境不符。
【19题详解】
句意:第一天晚上,黑尔斯用雪地机动车的启动油生火,但他因为鞋子和裤子被烧而醒来。
下文提到“his shoes and pants burned”,说明是用启动油生火,fire“火”符合。decision“决定”、plan“计划”均与鞋子裤子被烧的语境无关。
【20题详解】
句意:第二天,尽管他的腿一直疼,他还是不得不穿过厚厚的积雪去寻求帮助。
上文说被困,要寻求帮助,在雪地里只能步行,walk“走”符合。jump“跳”、drive“驾驶”在厚厚的积雪中不符合实际情况。
【21题详解】
句意:两天来,他吃了很多雪,嘴巴出了问题。
“something was wrong with...”是固定表达,表示“……出了问题”,something“某事,某物”符合。anything“任何事”常用于否定句和疑问句;everything“每件事”不符合此处语境。
【22题详解】
句意:当他用手和膝盖爬行了七英里时,他认为自己可能无法再活一天了。
根据语境,他觉得自己可能无法再活下去,manage to do sth.表示“设法做成某事”,manage“设法”符合。allow“允许”、inspire“激励”均与语境不符。
【23题详解】
句意:“我想躺下来放弃,但我没有。”他说。
上文说处境艰难,这里说想躺下来,结合语境是想要放弃,give up“放弃”符合。hang up“挂断”、pick up“捡起”均不符合语境。
【24题详解】
句意:幸运的是,那天早上晚些时候警察找到了他。
上文说他艰难求生,这里警察找到他,是幸运的事,luckily“幸运地”符合。unfortunately“不幸地”、importantly“重要地”均不符合语境。
【25题详解】
句意:警察把他送到医院后,黑尔斯兴奋得睡不着觉。
下文提到“he dreamed of hot chocolate and a hot shower”,说明他很兴奋,excited“兴奋的”符合。shocked“震惊的”、afraid“害怕的”均不符合语境。

Once upon a time, in a small village in the middle of a forest, there lived a young girl named Lila. Lila was known throughout the village for her very bad temper. She would often get angry at her friends and family, and her anger would sometimes get the best of her.
One day, Lila and her best friend Maya were playing a game when Lila suddenly fell down. Maya laughed, thinking Lila was just playful and that it didn’t hurt at all, but Lila didn’t see it that way. She felt embarrassed (尴尬的). Without thinking, Lila got angry at Maya, calling her names and pushing her away. Maya was hurt and didn’t understand why, and she ran off crying. Lila was left alone, feeling sorry about her actions.
That night, Lila couldn’t sleep. She kept thinking about what she had done to Maya. She knew she had to make things right, but she didn’t know how.
The next day, Lila went into the forest, hoping to find a way to control her anger and make up with Maya. She saw a wise old owl (猫头鹰) in a tree. “Hello, young girl,” the owl said. “What brings you here?” Lila explained her situation to the owl. The owl said, ____36____. Anger can be helpful in encouraging us to take action, but it can also drive us to strike out (猛烈攻击) and hurt others and ourselves. The key is to learn how to control it. The owl then gave Lila a small stone and asked her to carry it with her, saying that whenever she felt angry, she could hold it in her hand and take three deep breaths.
It wasn’t easy at first, but with practice, Lila learned how to control her anger and think before she acted. She also said sorry to Maya and promised never to let her anger hurt Maya again. Maya forgave her, and they became even closer than before.
36. The underlined part “get the best of” in the first paragraph means “________”.
A. calm down B. take control of
C. make fun of D. bring out the best in

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了脾气不好的女孩莉拉因生气推走朋友玛雅后,内心愧疚,在森林中从猫头鹰那里得到控制愤怒的建议,最终学会控制愤怒并与玛雅和好的故事。
【36题详解】
第一段提到“She would often get angry at her friends and family, and her anger would sometimes get the best of her”,这里“get the best of”意思是“控制住,战胜”,结合选项可知意思是“take control of”,直接表明莉拉有时会被愤怒控制。
【37题详解】
第二段提到“Maya laughed, thinking Lila was just playful and that it didn’t hurt at all”,说明玛雅笑是因为她觉得莉拉摔倒只是为了好玩,根本不疼。
【38题详解】
第四段提到“The next day, Lila went into the forest, hoping to find a way to control her anger and make up with Maya”,说明莉拉去森林是希望找到控制愤怒并与玛雅和好的方法,也就是解决她的问题。
【39题详解】
第五段猫头鹰说“Anger can be helpful in encouraging us to take action, but it can also drive us to strike out (猛烈攻击) and hurt others and ourselves. The key is to learn how to control it”,意思是愤怒既有好处也有坏处,关键是要学会控制它。“Every coin has two sides”意思是“事物都有两面性”,符合语境。
【40题详解】
文章主要讲述了莉拉学会控制愤怒并与玛雅和好的故事,重点强调了要管理愤怒这种情绪,所以这个故事主要教给我们的人生道理是“Anger is a feeling to be managed”。

In 1929, Sanxingdui was first found in Southwest China’s Sichuan province, but its importance was not recognized until the year 1986 when ancient city walls, palaces and many gold ivory and bronze artifacts (青铜器) have been unearthed here.
In 2001, archaeologists (考古学家), found the remains of another ancient city called Jinsha near Chengdu. They found a gold crown with similar engraved pattern (纹饰) of fish, arrows and birds to other golden objects found at Sanxingdui. For this reason, some scholars believe that the people from Sanxingdui may have moved their homes to Jinsha.
But it remains a mystery. Here are some clues that might help find the facts.
In 1099 BC, ancient writers recorded an earthquake in the capital of the Zhou Dynasty (朝代), in present-day Shaanxi Province. Though that area is about 400 kilometres from the historic site of Sanxingdui, it is possible that the centre of the earthquake was actually close to Sanxingdui.
Around the same time, the layers of dirt show that there was possibly a great flood (洪水). In the Han Dynasty book The Chronicles of the Kings of Shu (《蜀王本纪》), it is written that ancient floods poured from a mountain in a spot, which suggests the river flowing in a new direction.
Together, the ideas lead people to believe that possibly a large earthquake caused a landslide that dammed (拦住) the river. This changed its path and stopped the water from flowing to Sanxingdui. That may have forced the ancient Chinese people to leave their homes to move closer to the river’s new path. Living near water was very important at that time. The people had to get water from the river and carry it to their homes to drink, cook and wash.
Although these clues help explain why the ancient Shu people moved from Sanxingdui to Jinsha, the real truth is still unclear. We need more research to find solid evidence. Sanxingdui and Jinsha are treasures of ancient Shu civilization, showing the great wisdom of ancient Chinese people. With further study, more secrets of this wonderful civilization will be uncovered step by step.
41. When was Sanxingdui first found?
A. In 1929. B. In 1986. C. In 2001. D. In 1099.
42. The underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refers to ________.
A. how Jinsha remains were found
B. why Sanxingdui’s discovery matters
C. how the ancients made beautiful objects
D. why people in Sanxingdui moved to Jinsha
43. What record in the Han Dynasty book has helped to solve this mystery?
A. Floods poured from a mountain.
B. The ancients moved to the river.
C. There were similar golden objects.
D. An earthquake hit near Sanxingdui.
44. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A. Jinsha was built before Sanxingdui.
B. Earthquakes hit Sanxingdui many times.
C. Water was not important for the ancients.
D. Sanxingdui and Jinsha shared the same culture.
45. In which book can we read this passage?
A. Famous Rivers in History. B. Unsolved Mysteries of the World.
C. History of Ancient Chinese Art. D. A Guide to Sichuan’s Natural Wonders.
【答案】41. A 42. D 43. A 44. D 45. B

第一段提到:“In 1929, Sanxingdui was first found in Southwest China’s Sichuan province”,说明三星堆首次被发现是在1929年。
【42题详解】
第二段提到:“For this reason, some scholars believe that the people from Sanxingdui may have moved their homes to Jinsha. But it remains a mystery.”,结合前文可知,这里的“it”指的是三星堆的人为什么搬到金沙这件事。
【43题详解】
第五段提到:“In the Han Dynasty book The Chronicles of the Kings of Shu (《蜀王本纪》), it is written that ancient floods poured from a mountain in a spot, which suggests the river flowing in a new direction.”,说明《蜀王本纪》中记录的洪水从山上倾泻而下,暗示河流流向改变,这一记录有助于解开三星堆人迁徙的谜团。
【44题详解】
第二段提到:“They found a gold crown with similar engraved pattern (纹饰) of fish, arrows and birds to other golden objects found at Sanxingdui.”,说明三星堆和金沙遗址出土的金色物品有相似的纹饰,由此可推断出三星堆和金沙共享相同的文化。
【45题详解】
文章主要围绕三星堆和金沙遗址的未解之谜展开,包括三星堆人迁徙的原因等,所以最有可能在《世界未解之谜》这本书中读到这篇文章。

The 13-year-old showed great interest in insects long ago. With his parents’ help, Zhang began to learn about insects. He took part in summer camps, read books and watched nature shows.

With his mother’s help, Zhang posted his first video about insects five years ago. In the video, he put two kinds of stick insects (竹节虫) on his hands and explained what they look like, where they live, and how they protect themselves.

In the past few years, he has added videos about many different butterflies, caterpillars (毛毛虫), and beetles to his channel. “I want to encourage more people to understand insects and protect them. It is important to protect all kinds of species,” Zhang said.

Once upon a time, in a small village in the middle of a forest, there lived a young girl named Lila. Lila was known throughout the village for her very bad temper. She would often get angry at her friends and family, and her anger would sometimes get the best of her.
One day, Lila and her best friend Maya were playing a game when Lila suddenly fell down. Maya laughed, thinking Lila was just playful and that it didn’t hurt at all, but Lila didn’t see it that way. She felt embarrassed (尴尬的). Without thinking, Lila got angry at Maya, calling her names and pushing her away. Maya was hurt and didn’t understand why, and she ran off crying. Lila was left alone, feeling sorry about her actions.
That night, Lila couldn’t sleep. She kept thinking about what she had done to Maya. She knew she had to make things right, but she didn’t know how.

She saw a wise old owl (猫头鹰) in a tree. “Hello, young girl,” the owl said. “What brings you here?” Lila explained her situation to the owl. The owl said, ____36____. Anger can be helpful in encouraging us to take action, but it can also drive us to strike out (猛烈攻击) and hurt others and ourselves. The key is to learn how to control it. The owl then gave Lila a small stone and asked her to carry it with her, saying that whenever she felt angry, she could hold it in her hand and take three deep breaths.
It wasn’t easy at first, but with practice, Lila learned how to control her anger and think before she acted. She also said sorry to Maya and promised never to let her anger hurt Maya again. Maya forgave her, and they became even closer than before.

In 1929, Sanxingdui was first found in Southwest China’s Sichuan province, but its importance was not recognized until the year 1986 when ancient city walls, palaces and many gold ivory and bronze artifacts (青铜器) have been unearthed here.
In 2001, archaeologists (考古学家), found the remains of another ancient city called Jinsha near Chengdu. They found a gold crown with similar engraved pattern (纹饰) of fish, arrows and birds to other golden objects found at Sanxingdui. For this reason, some scholars believe that the people from Sanxingdui may have moved their homes to Jinsha.
But it remains a mystery. Here are some clues that might help find the facts.
In 1099 BC, ancient writers recorded an earthquake in the capital of the Zhou Dynasty (朝代), in present-day Shaanxi Province. Though that area is about 400 kilometres from the historic site of Sanxingdui, it is possible that the centre of the earthquake was actually close to Sanxingdui.
Around the same time, the layers of dirt show that there was possibly a great flood (洪水). In the Han Dynasty book The Chronicles of the Kings of Shu (《蜀王本纪》), it is written that ancient floods poured from a mountain in a spot, which suggests the river flowing in a new direction.
Together, the ideas lead people to believe that possibly a large earthquake caused a landslide that dammed (拦住) the river. This changed its path and stopped the water from flowing to Sanxingdui. That may have forced the ancient Chinese people to leave their homes to move closer to the river’s new path. Living near water was very important at that time. The people had to get water from the river and carry it to their homes to drink, cook and wash.
Although these clues help explain why the ancient Shu people moved from Sanxingdui to Jinsha, the real truth is still unclear. We need more research to find solid evidence. Sanxingdui and Jinsha are treasures of ancient Shu civilization, showing the great wisdom of ancient Chinese people. With further study, more secrets of this wonderful civilization will be uncovered step by step.
