The River Thames (泰晤士河) is the longest river entirely within England and the second longest in the UK, after the River Severn(塞文河). But the Thames is more famous. That’s maybe because it’s in London, the capital city. The Thames goes through London and other parts of the south of England.
Some of the famous places in London are by the Thames: Big Ben on the north side of the river, the London Eye on the south side with its view of the city, and St Paul's Cathedral (圣保罗大教堂). Some of the bridges over the River Thames are also well-known: Westminster Bridge, Tower Bridge and Millennium Bridge.
It’s famous for art, too. Some of the UK’s famous artists have painted the Thames, including Turner and Constable in the 18th and 19th centuries (世纪). Turner is famous for painting water—the sea and rivers, and Constable is famous for painting fields and forests.

12.推理判断题。根据第二段“the London Eye on the south side of the river with its view of the city”可知,伦敦眼位于泰晤士河的南岸,可以俯瞰城市景色。因此,正确图片应显示伦敦眼在河的南侧。结合选项,只有B选项符合这一位置描述。故选B。
13.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“It’s famous for art, too. Some of the UK’s famous artists have painted the Thames...”可知,本段主要解释了泰晤士河为何在艺术领域也很有名——因为许多著名艺术家都画过它。故选D。

The Flame Mountain (火焰山) is about 200km away from Urumqi in Xinjiang. It is in a place with many high mountains around it. It is much hotter than nearby places. If you want to enjoy the feeling of a hot shower in summer, it’s the right place to go!
On hot summer days, it can get hotter than 80℃. Try to cook eggs or cakes in the sand and they will be ready in a few minutes!
Does rain help make it cooler? People hardly see rain in 10 out of the 12 months in a year. Why? For most of the time, the raindrops (雨滴) dry in the hot air before they get to the ground. The mountain came into being millions of years ago when the earth was changing a lot.

15.细节理解题。根据“People hardly see rain in 10 out of the 12 months in a year. Why? For most of the time, the raindrops (雨滴) dry in the hot air before they get to the ground.”可知,人们很少看到雨的原因是雨滴在落到地面之前就被热空气蒸发干了。故选B。

Costa Rica is not a traditional (传统的) northern country. Here you don’t have the alternation of four different seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. It only has two seasons: dry season and wet season. So for tourists, when is the best time to go to Costa Rica?
Lots of people like visiting Costa Rica in the dry season. The sun shines brightly almost every day from December to April. People won’t get wet. This allows (使……有可能) them to visit more places during the trip.
The best thing to do in Costa Rica in the dry season is enjoying the beaches. The sunny weather allows people to enjoy the fun beach activities like swimming and surfing (冲浪). If you want quiet beaches perfect for swimming, you can visit the Gulf of Papagayo and Peninsula Papagayo. If you want beaches perfect for surfing, go to beaches like Tamarindo and Nosara.
The wet season is also great to enjoy the sights. It’s easy to book cheap hotels and there are few visitors around. In the wet season, Costa Rica shows its green sights perfectly. The rain from May to November helps the rainforest grow. Waterfalls get stronger because more water flows (流动) in the rivers. And, yes, you can go out and see all of this.
The wet season doesn’t mean that you can’t leave your hotel. The rain usually comes in the afternoons and the mornings are often sunny and dry. So you can still enjoy the beautiful sights in the rainy months of Costa Rica.
In which season would you like to visit Costa Rica? Come and experience life here one day!
18.What may the word “alternation” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.记录 B.间隔 C.交替
19.If you are interested in surfing, it’s best to go to _______.
A.Nosara in October
B.Tamarindo in December
C.The Gulf of Papagayo in April
20.Which is TRUE about the wet season according to the passage?
A.It rains all day.
B.More tourists are around.
C.Cheap hotels are common.
21.What is the purpose (目的) of the passage?
A.To encourage people to visit Costa Rica.
B.To introduce a traditional country, Costa Rica.
C.To show four different seasons in Costa Rica.
【答案】18.C 19.B 20.C 21.A
【导语】这篇文章介绍了哥斯达尼加的气候特点与旅游出行建议。
18.第一段“Here you don’t have the alternation of four different seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. It only has two seasons: dry season and wet season.”结合上下文,哥斯达尼加没有传统国家的春夏秋冬四季交替,只有旱季和雨季两个季节,因此alternation的意思是“交替”。
19.第三段“If you want beaches perfect for surfing, go to beaches like Tamarindo and Nosara.”及第二段“The sun shines brightly almost every day from December to April.”,Tamarindo和Nosara这类海滩适合去冲浪,同时提到旱季,从12月到次年4月,是适合海滩活动的时间,12月属于旱季,因此Tamarindo在12月份是适合去冲浪的海滩。Gulf of Papagayo是适合游泳的安静海滩,排除C选项;10月属于雨季,不适合冲浪,排除A选项。
20.第四段“It’s easy to book cheap hotels”,说明雨季很容易订到便宜酒店,也就是便宜酒店很常见,C选项正确。
21.文章介绍了哥斯达尼加旱季和雨季各自的游玩优势,结尾发出邀请“Come and experience life here one day!”,核心目的是鼓励人们去哥斯达尼加旅游。

The River Thames (泰晤士河) is the longest river entirely within England and the second longest in the UK, after the River Severn(塞文河). But the Thames is more famous. That’s maybe because it’s in London, the capital city. The Thames goes through London and other parts of the south of England.
Some of the famous places in London are by the Thames: Big Ben on the north side of the river, the London Eye on the south side with its view of the city, and St Paul's Cathedral (圣保罗大教堂). Some of the bridges over the River Thames are also well-known: Westminster Bridge, Tower Bridge and Millennium Bridge.
It’s famous for art, too. Some of the UK’s famous artists have painted the Thames, including Turner and Constable in the 18th and 19th centuries (世纪). Turner is famous for painting water—the sea and rivers, and Constable is famous for painting fields and forests.

The Flame Mountain (火焰山) is about 200km away from Urumqi in Xinjiang. It is in a place with many high mountains around it. It is much hotter than nearby places. If you want to enjoy the feeling of a hot shower in summer, it’s the right place to go!

Costa Rica is not a traditional (传统的) northern country. Here you don’t have the alternation of four different seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. It only has two seasons: dry season and wet season. So for tourists, when is the best time to go to Costa Rica?
Lots of people like visiting Costa Rica in the dry season. The sun shines brightly almost every day from December to April. People won’t get wet. This allows (使……有可能) them to visit more places during the trip.
The best thing to do in Costa Rica in the dry season is enjoying the beaches. The sunny weather allows people to enjoy the fun beach activities like swimming and surfing (冲浪). If you want quiet beaches perfect for swimming, you can visit the Gulf of Papagayo and Peninsula Papagayo. If you want beaches perfect for surfing, go to beaches like Tamarindo and Nosara.
The wet season is also great to enjoy the sights. It’s easy to book cheap hotels and there are few visitors around. In the wet season, Costa Rica shows its green sights perfectly. The rain from May to November helps the rainforest grow. Waterfalls get stronger because more water flows (流动) in the rivers. And, yes, you can go out and see all of this.
The wet season doesn’t mean that you can’t leave your hotel. The rain usually comes in the afternoons and the mornings are often sunny and dry. So you can still enjoy the beautiful sights in the rainy months of Costa Rica.
In which season would you like to visit Costa Rica? Come and experience life here one day!

The United States usually experiences blizzards (暴风雪). In 1888, a blizzard hit New York. 26 It caused so many deaths.
Three things make up a blizzard—strong winds, blinding snow, and freezing cold. 27
Clouds form, and water in them freezes into snow. The winds blow the snow through the air. It becomes hard to see. Freezing winds also make air feel colder. This is called wind chill (风寒). Wind chill makes the body lose heat faster.
28 The East Coast of the United States is one such place. Storms sometimes move up from the south. When they do, they may run into cold air moving down from Canada. These storms make lots of snow. Another type (类型) of storm comes from the west. These storms move fast. They bring strong winds and freezing cold but not a lot of snow.
Long ago, people were surprised by storms. 29 They can tell when and where blizzards will happen. They can get ready. They can make sure they have enough food and water to last for days. People can then go home and wait until the storm stops. 30 The best place to be in a blizzard is inside. In time, the storm will end. Then it will be safe to have fun in the snow.
A.There, they can stay safe and warm.
B.Playing with snow can be interesting.
C.The blizzard lasted (持续) for three days.
