B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了世界最高瀑布——安赫尔瀑布的地理位置、名称由来、被外界发现的过程，以及如今前往瀑布的两种旅行方式。 【41题详解】 句意：由于瀑布地处委内瑞拉雨林深处，外界在1933年之前无人知晓安赫尔瀑布。 根据后文“当地佩蒙人早已知晓”，此处表示外界不了解，knew about符合语境。 【42题详解】 句意：然而，住在委内瑞拉的当地佩蒙人，早在数千年前就知道它了。 local people是固定搭配，意为“当地人”，与“外界”形成对比。 【43题详解】 句意：这个名字的意思是“最深之地的瀑布”。 means在此处表示“意思是、意味着”，用于解释佩蒙语名称的含义。 【44题详解】 句意：1933年，一个叫吉米·安赫尔的美国人驾驶飞机沿卡罗河飞行时，发现了这个瀑布。 瀑布此前不为外界所知，因此用discovered，强调首次找到未知事物。 【45题详解】 句意：1937年他再次返回，把飞机降落在了瀑布的顶部，但飞机卡住了。 后文提到“从瀑布顶部走下来”，因此此处对应top。 【46题详解】 句意：这次旅程和瀑布因此被全世界知晓。 他们花了11天从瀑布顶部走下来，这是一次艰难的旅程，journey符合语境。 【47题详解】 句意：安赫尔因此出名，瀑布也以他的名字命名。 事件被全世界知晓后，安赫尔也随之成名，famous符合逻辑。 【48题详解】 句意：你可以乘船前往瀑布。 后文提到“乘船行程结束后”，因此此处对应交通方式boat。 【49题详解】 句意：乘船结束后，你必须穿过溪流、穿过丛林才能到达瀑布。 此处表示前往瀑布的最终目的，reach符合语境。 【50题详解】 句意：你一定会爱上这个奇妙的瀑布！ 前文提到它是世界自然奇观，因此用fantastic形容瀑布。 Ⅶ. 补全对话(共5小题;每小题1分，满分5分) 根据对话内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有两个为多余选项。 A: Hi, Linda!

Now it’s time for art class,” Mr Combs says. “I hate drawing,” Kiyo says to a classmate. “I have no talent for drawing. My pictures look as if a baby drew them!” Do you feel the same as Kiyo? Most often, people don’t like to draw because their pictures aren’t realistic. There’s a reason you might find it hard to draw realistically. Like many people, you probably draw things the way you think they look. You see people’s eyes all the time, so you might think you know in your mind what eyes look like. But your minds don’t remember all the details. For example, picture in your mind what an eye looks like. Do you just picture it as being a simple oval shape? Now look at someone’s eyes. Real eyes are far more complicated. Artists have a way to draw realistically. They don’t depend on their minds to know how things look. They use their eyes to see how things look. Artists know that the art of drawing is the art of seeing. When an artist is drawing a person, she has the person or a photo of the person in front of her. She watches the size and shape of his eyes carefully. She compares the angle of his neck to his shoulder. She also sees where his hands are and how they look. The artist looks at each detail, and then starts to draw the person. 59. What does the underlined word “complicated” in the text probably mean? A. 隐藏的 B. 复杂的 C. 暗淡的 D. 无神的 60. How do artists draw realistically? A. They use their talents. B. They depend on their minds. C. They put a book in front of them. D. They use their eyes to watch carefully. 61. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To offer advice on how to be an artist. B. To advise people to learn to draw from an artist. C. To give an example of how artists draw realistically. D. To give reasons why artists can draw realistically. 【答案】59. B 60. D 61. C 【解析】 【导语】本文以Kiyo不爱画画的例子引出，解释了普通人画不写实的原因，并说明了画家通过细致观察来完成写实作品的方法。 【59题详解】 前文提到人们通常会把眼睛想象成simple oval shape，而真实的眼睛远非如此，因此complicated和simple形成对比，意为“复杂的”。 【60题详解】 文中第四段提到“They don’t depend on their minds to know how things look. They use their eyes to see how things look.”，说明画家是通过仔细观察来画写实作品的。 【61题详解】 最后一段详细描述了画家画人物时的观察步骤，是对前文“画家靠眼睛观察而非记忆”的具体举例说明。 C What brought you and your friends together? Was it shared hobbies or similar personalities? Apart from these common reasons, genetics (基因) may also play a role. According to a US study with 1,932 people, friends have a kinship coefficient (亲缘系数) that is 0.0014 higher than in strangers! The kinship coefficient is an easy way to see how genetically related (相关的) two people are—the higher the number, the closer the relation. Don’t look down on this number. The kinship coefficient between parents and children is about 0.25. For first cousins, it’s about 0.0625, while for fourth cousins, it’s around only 0.001. This means you might share more genes with your best friend than with some distant (遥远的) family members. The question is, why are people with a high level of kinship coefficient more likely to become friends? The research team found that many of the top one percent of similar genes are related to the sense of smell. This means that close friends may have a similar sense of smell. A study in Science Advances also showed that people who become close friends usually have similar body smells. Researchers collected sweat samples (汗液样本) from 20 pairs of friends. They all became close in a short time. Using an e-nose and human volunteers to study the smells, they found that friends’ body odors (体味) were more alike than those of strangers. So, next time you hug your friends, you might notice that they smell a bit like you! 62. What can the kinship coefficient show? A. How close two friends are related. B. How close the genetic relation between two people is. C. How long it takes for two strangers to become friends. D. How much two friends have in common. 63. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. Our best friend might be a distant family member. B. The kinship coefficient between two friends is 0.0014. C. Best friends have a higher kinship coefficient than first cousins. D. Best friends can share more genetic similarities than distant relatives. 64. According to the text, in what way are best friends similar? A. They like the smell of each other’s body. B. They grow at a similar pace. C. Their body smells are similar. D. Their sweat is similar. 65.

It is quite common that the egg white gets cooked while the yolk is still runny. By the time the yolk is completely cooked, the egg white has become rubbery (难嚼的). Italian scientists have found the best way to cook eggs. They call it “periodic cooking”. It takes 32 minutes and you need to move the egg between boiling water and 30℃ water every two minutes. The yolk and the egg white are made of different things and cooked at different temperatures, said Medical News Today. The yolk has most of the vitamins and is given to baby chicks as food. The egg white has more protein and water. The Italian scientists first ran tests on a computer to see how heat moves in the egg. The tests found that changing the temperature between 100℃ and 30℃ can help cook a perfect egg. The next step was to try the idea with real eggs. With special tools and eight taste experts, the scientists compared the results of the new cooking method with the usual way we make hard-boiled eggs (cooked for 12 minutes) and soft-boiled eggs (cooked for six minutes). The study showed periodic cooking made both the egg white and the yolk taste best. It was also the best way to help the egg keep the most nutrients, CNN said. 69. What is often hard about boiling an egg? A. Keeping the yolk runny. B. Making sure the yolk is fully cooked. C. Boiling it for the right amount of time. D. Cooking both the egg white and yolk just right. 70. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. A new scientific way to cook eggs. B. The advantages of periodic cooking. C. The time it takes to cook an egg completely. D. The best temperature to cook eggs. 71. Which question can the third paragraph answer? A. What’s the perfect way to cook eggs? B. What vitamins do baby chicks need? C. How does the egg white protect baby chicks? D. Why do eggs need different temperatures to be cooked? 72. In which part of a newspaper can we probably read the text? A. Culture. B. Science. C. Travel. D. Business. 【答案】69. D 70. A 71. D 72. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍意大利科学家研发出间歇煮蛋新法，能让蛋清蛋黄口感俱佳且保留更多营养。 【69题详解】 首段介绍：“Boiling an egg just right is often difficult. It is quite common that the egg white gets cooked while the yolk is still runny”，说明恰到好处煮好蛋清和蛋黄这件事很难。 【70题详解】 第二段介绍：“Italian scientists have found the best way to cook eggs. They call it ‘periodic cooking’”，本段主要介绍一种科学新颖的煮蛋方法。 【71题详解】 第三段说明：“The yolk and the egg white are made of different things and cooked at different temperatures”，解释了蛋清蛋黄需要不同温度烹煮的原因。 【72题详解】 通读全文可知，文章围绕科学家研究煮蛋新方法展开，属于科普知识范畴，适合出现在报纸的科学板块。 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求)。 It is cold today. But Tim is excited. He will go to a party at the community centre. Today is the last day of a volunteer programme at the community centre. Tim joined it six months ago. When Tim was a kid, he loved learning new things. He would watch movies, read books and try new activities. He was very happy. But as he grew up, life got busier, and he spent less and less time learning new things. Later, he was bored with his life and wanted something new again. One day, he learned that some volunteers at his community centre were teaching people how to cook, paint, play instruments… He decided to join the volunteer programme. When he arrived at the community centre, he met a group of people. They were also there for training. Tim felt happy. The first few days were hard. Tim had to learn new ideas and use unfamiliar tools or instruments. But he kept learning and slowly understood those things. As he trained, he noticed the changes in his life. He not only learned new skills but also made friends with those in the programme. Time flies. The volunteer programme is coming to an end. Tim and his friends decided to have a party to celebrate and thank their teachers. They are all looking forward to the party. 73. When did Tim join the volunteer programme at the community centre?

Now it’s time for art class,” Mr Combs says. “I hate drawing,” Kiyo says to a classmate. “I have no talent for drawing. My pictures look as if a baby drew them!” Do you feel the same as Kiyo? Most often, people don’t like to draw because their pictures aren’t realistic. There’s a reason you might find it hard to draw realistically. Like many people, you probably draw things the way you think they look. You see people’s eyes all the time, so you might think you know in your mind what eyes look like. But your minds don’t remember all the details. For example, picture in your mind what an eye looks like. Do you just picture it as being a simple oval shape? Now look at someone’s eyes. Real eyes are far more complicated. Artists have a way to draw realistically. They don’t depend on their minds to know how things look. They use their eyes to see how things look. Artists know that the art of drawing is the art of seeing. When an artist is drawing a person, she has the person or a photo of the person in front of her. She watches the size and shape of his eyes carefully. She compares the angle of his neck to his shoulder. She also sees where his hands are and how they look. The artist looks at each detail, and then starts to draw the person. 59. What does the underlined word “complicated” in the text probably mean? A. 隐藏的 B. 复杂的 C. 暗淡的 D. 无神的 60. How do artists draw realistically? A. They use their talents. B. They depend on their minds. C. They put a book in front of them. D. They use their eyes to watch carefully. 61. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To offer advice on how to be an artist. B. To advise people to learn to draw from an artist. C. To give an example of how artists draw realistically. D. To give reasons why artists can draw realistically. C What brought you and your friends together? Was it shared hobbies or similar personalities? Apart from these common reasons, genetics (基因) may also play a role. According to a US study with 1,932 people, friends have a kinship coefficient (亲缘系数) that is 0.0014 higher than in strangers! The kinship coefficient is an easy way to see how genetically related (相关的) two people are—the higher the number, the closer the relation. Don’t look down on this number. The kinship coefficient between parents and children is about 0.25. For first cousins, it’s about 0.0625, while for fourth cousins, it’s around only 0.001. This means you might share more genes with your best friend than with some distant (遥远的) family members. The question is, why are people with a high level of kinship coefficient more likely to become friends? The research team found that many of the top one percent of similar genes are related to the sense of smell. This means that close friends may have a similar sense of smell. A study in Science Advances also showed that people who become close friends usually have similar body smells. Researchers collected sweat samples (汗液样本) from 20 pairs of friends. They all became close in a short time. Using an e-nose and human volunteers to study the smells, they found that friends’ body odors (体味) were more alike than those of strangers. So, next time you hug your friends, you might notice that they smell a bit like you! 62. What can the kinship coefficient show? A. How close two friends are related. B.

E Boiling an egg just right is often difficult. It is quite common that the egg white gets cooked while the yolk is still runny. By the time the yolk is completely cooked, the egg white has become rubbery (难嚼的). Italian scientists have found the best way to cook eggs. They call it “periodic cooking”. It takes 32 minutes and you need to move the egg between boiling water and 30℃ water every two minutes. The yolk and the egg white are made of different things and cooked at different temperatures, said Medical News Today. The yolk has most of the vitamins and is given to baby chicks as food. The egg white has more protein and water. The Italian scientists first ran tests on a computer to see how heat moves in the egg. The tests found that changing the temperature between 100℃ and 30℃ can help cook a perfect egg. The next step was to try the idea with real eggs. With special tools and eight taste experts, the scientists compared the results of the new cooking method with the usual way we make hard-boiled eggs (cooked for 12 minutes) and soft-boiled eggs (cooked for six minutes). The study showed periodic cooking made both the egg white and the yolk taste best. It was also the best way to help the egg keep the most nutrients, CNN said. 69. What is often hard about boiling an egg? A. Keeping the yolk runny. B. Making sure the yolk is fully cooked. C. Boiling it for the right amount of time. D. Cooking both the egg white and yolk just right. 70. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. A new scientific way to cook eggs. B. The advantages of periodic cooking. C. The time it takes to cook an egg completely. D. The best temperature to cook eggs. 71. Which question can the third paragraph answer? A. What’s the perfect way to cook eggs? B. What vitamins do baby chicks need? C. How does the egg white protect baby chicks? D. Why do eggs need different temperatures to be cooked? 72.
