B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了美国户外爱好者Aron Ralston在登山时遭遇巨石压住右臂，在无人救援且物资耗尽的情况下，果断截肢自救，事后将这段经历写成书，并继续热爱登山的故事，以此启发读者思考在绝境中如何选择的故事。 【11题详解】 句意：但对许多登山者来说，这也是一项充满危险的活动。 根据下文Aron遭遇巨石压臂、截肢自救可知，登山充满危险，dangers意为“危险”。 【12题详解】 句意：Aron对登山非常着迷。 根据后文“He had faced many dangerous moments before”以及他即使失去手臂仍继续登山可知，他对登山是“疯狂的、着迷的”，crazy about意为“对……痴迷”。 【13题详解】 句意：但没有一个像2003年4月26日发生的那次那么严重。 根据后文描述的事故可知，此处指“发生”在他身上的事件，happened意为“发生”。 【14题详解】 句意：他独自在犹他州探索一条狭窄的峡谷时，一块巨石松动坠落。 根据语境，他当时正在峡谷中行进探险，exploring意为“探索”。 【15题详解】 句意：那块360公斤重的石头将他的右臂卡在峡谷壁上。 根据“against the canyon wall”可知，石头压住、卡住他的手臂，caught意为“卡住、夹住”。 【16题详解】 句意：他尝试了各种办法拯救自己，但石头一动也不动。 根据上下文，Aron是男性，且动作发出者是he，反身代词应用himself，意为“他自己”。 【17题详解】 句意：由于周围没有人帮助，Aron知道自己陷入了大麻烦。 此处表示“伴随着、由于”没有人的情况，此处是with的复合结构作伴随状语，With no one around to help表示“周围没人帮忙”，表示伴随状况。 【18题详解】 句意：他困在那里五天，希望有路过的徒步者能找到他。 根据上文“no one around to help”可知，他盼望有人发现他，find意为“找到”。 【19题详解】 句意：但随着水耗尽，他意识到自己只有一个选择。 run out意为“用完、耗尽”，主语为water。put out“扑灭”，took out“取出”，handed out“分发”，均不符合。 【20题详解】 句意：他用一把小折叠刀，做出了艰难的决定，切掉了右臂的一半。 根据语境，切断自己的手臂是非常痛苦和艰难的决定，difficult意为“困难的”。 【21题详解】 句意：然后用左臂包扎伤口并止血。 stop the bleeding意为“止血”。speed“加速”，cover“覆盖”，hide“隐藏”，均不符合。 【22题详解】 句意：康复后，Aron写了一本关于自己经历的书。 根据前文描述的是他亲身经历的事件，experience意为“经历”。 【23题详解】 句意：在书中，他分享了这次生死攸关的时刻教会了他如何快速、明智地做出选择。 根据“taught him the importance of making quick, smart choices”可知，这一时刻让他懂得了如何快速、明智地做出选择的重要性，how引导宾语从句，在从句中作方式状语。 【24题详解】 句意：他对登山的热爱从未结束，即使在失去手臂后，他仍然重返大山。 根据后文“he returned to the mountains”可知，热爱从未停止，never意为“从未”。 【25题详解】 句意：你会放弃，还是找到勇气拯救自己？ 根据语境，面对绝境需要勇气，courage意为“勇气”。 IV. 阅读理解 (共两节，20小题；每小题2分，满分40分) 第一节 阅读下列材料，从材料后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Dragon Boat Festival is coming!

He made careful preparations for his journey. He bought a strong and fast horse, prepared plenty of money, and hired an experienced driver. Then he got on his carriage and started his trip. However, to everyone’s surprise, he drove his carriage straight towards the north. When a wise passer-by saw this, he stopped the man and asked, “You are going to Chu, right? Chu lies in the south. Why are you heading north?” The man looked calm and confident. He said proudly, “I have nothing to worry about. My horse is strong, my money is enough, and my driver is very skillful. With these advantages, I can reach Chu easily.” The passer-by shook his head and sighed (叹气) deeply. He told the man, “All these advantages are useless if your direction is wrong. The better your conditions are, the farther you will be from your destination.” This story has been told for thousands of years. It reminds us of something important. When we work towards something, having good conditions and trying hard are helpful. But there is one thing that matters most. We need to know where we are going. If we go the wrong way, no matter how good our horse is or how hard we work, we may never get to where we want to be. 29. In the man’s mind, what is the most important for a journey? A. Taking the correct direction. B. Getting everything ready. C. Keeping himself calm and confident. D. Making everyone surprised. 30. Why did the passer-by shake his head and sigh deeply? A. Because the man had too much money. B. Because the man was too confident in his advantages. C. Because the man was heading north while Chu was in the south. D. Because the horse was not strong enough to get to the State of Chu. 31. What does the underlined word “destination” mean? A. aim B. journey C. start D. south 32. What does the story mainly tell us? A. Good conditions can make our journey easier. B. We should never give up even if things go wrong. C. It’s important to prepare well before starting a trip. D. We should check our direction before working hard. 【答案】29. B 30. C 31. A 32. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇寓言故事，讲述了一个人要去南方的楚国，却驾着马车向北走。尽管他有好马、充足的钱和熟练的车夫，但方向完全错误。路人指出方向错了，条件再好也无法到达目的地。故事告诉我们：在努力之前，首先要确保方向正确。 【29题详解】 第一段和第二段中，这个人自豪地说：“My horse is strong, my money is enough, and my driver is very skillful. With these advantages, I can reach Chu easily.”由此可知，在他看来，旅途中最重要的是把一切都准备好（好马、充足的钱、熟练的车夫）。 【30题详解】 第二段中路人摇头叹气是因为他看到这个人要去南方的楚国，却偏偏往北走。路人说：“Chu lies in the south. Why are you heading north?”因此路人叹气的原因是这个人朝北走而楚国在南方。 【31题详解】 第二段中路人说：“The better your conditions are, the farther you will be from your destination.”结合上下文，destination指的是他想要到达的地方，即目的地，与aim（目标）意思最接近。 【32题详解】 第三段是全文的总结，明确指出：“We need to know where we are going. If we go the wrong way, no matter how good our horse is or how hard we work, we may never get to where we want to be.”故事主要告诉我们：在努力工作之前，应该先确认方向是否正确。 C The next two days it rained and it was very windy, so Mary couldn’t go outside. On the third morning, she opened her eyes to a bright blue sky. She ran to the window and gasped, “Martha! Come look at the moor!” Martha smiled as she entered. “The rain’s gone, and spring’s coming.” That day, Martha left to visit her mother. Mary felt lonely, so she stepped into the warm sunshine. She ran around the fountain ten times, feeling lighter than ever. In the vegetable garden, she found Ben Weatherstaff. “The spring’s coming,” he said, pointing to green shoots in the soil. “See those crocuses, snowdrops and daffodils?” Mary’s eyes widened. “Is spring coming to the secret garden too? Or are all the flowers dead?” “Ask the robin,” Ben replied, nodding at the bird on the wall. “He’s the only one who knows.” Then he went back to work. As the robin hopped, Mary spotted something glinting in the soil. She picked it up. It was an old key. “The key to the secret garden!” she whispered, clutching it tight. The next morning, Martha gave Mary a skipping rope. “Try it outside!” Mary skipped and skipped, her breath coming fast but her heart light. Soon she reached the wall where the robin sat. “You showed me the key yesterday,” Mary said to the bird. “Can you show me the door today?” The robin flew to the wall’s top and sang loudly. Suddenly, the wind blew a long ivy branch aside. Mary gasped—there, under the leaves, was a door! Her hands shook as she pulled the key from her pocket. She inserted it into the lock, turned it, and pushed. The door opened. She stepped inside, and her eyes filled with wonder. She was in the secret garden at last! — Adapted from The Secret Garden 33. Why didn’t Mary go outside for the first two days? A. Because the weather was bad. B. Because she felt lonely. C. Because she wanted to stay with Martha. D. Because the moor was too far. 34. What can you infer (推断) about Ben from the passage? A. Ben knew everything about the secret garden. B. Ben didn’t want Mary to find the secret garden. C. Ben believed the robin was special and helpful. D. Ben was too busy to talk with Mary about the secret garden. 35. Which of the following is the correct order of the events? ① Mary found the old key to the secret garden. ② Martha gave Mary a skipping rope as a present. ③ Ben told Mary that the robin knew about the secret garden. ④ Mary skipped around the garden and met the robin on the wall. ⑤ The wind blew the ivy branch aside, and Mary saw the garden door. A. ②→④→③→①→⑤ B. ③→①→②→④→⑤ C. ③→②→④→①→⑤ D. ①→③→②→⑤→④ 36. What may the story talk about next? A. Mary would explore the garden excitedly. B. Mary would give the key back to the robin. C. Mary would close the door and go back home. D. Mary would tell Martha something about the garden. 【答案】33. A 34. C 35. B 36. A 【解析】 【导语】本文节选自经典儿童文学《秘密花园》，讲述了连续两日的阴雨天气过后，玛丽在庄园菜园偶遇园丁本，得知知更鸟知晓秘密花园的秘密；随后她意外捡到花园钥匙，又在知更鸟的指引下找到尘封的园门，最终踏入了向往已久的秘密花园。 【33题详解】 根据原文第一段“The next two days it rained and it was very windy, so Mary couldn’t go outside.”可知，玛丽头两天无法出门，是因为下雨又刮风，天气状况很差。 【34题详解】 根据原文中第五段Ben的表述“‘Ask the robin,’ Ben replied, nodding at the bird on the wall. ‘He’s the only one who knows.’”，本告诉玛丽只有知更鸟知道秘密花园的事，结合后文知更鸟确实引导玛丽找到了园门，可推断本认为知更鸟是特别且能提供帮助的。 【35题详解】 事件的正确发展顺序为： ③Ben told Mary that the robin knew about the secret garden.对应原文玛丽与本在菜园的对话，本告知玛丽知更鸟是唯一知道秘密花园的。 ①Mary found the old key to the secret garden. 对应原文“As the robin hopped, Mary spotted something glinting in the soil. She picked it up. It was an old key.”，玛丽在泥土里捡到了花园钥匙。 ②Martha gave Mary a skipping rope as a present.对应原文“The next morning, Martha gave Mary a skipping rope.”，第二天玛莎送给玛丽一根跳绳。 ④Mary skipped around the garden and met the robin on the wall. 对应原文“Mary skipped and skipped... Soon she reached the wall where the robin sat.”，玛丽跳绳时来到墙边，见到了知更鸟。 ⑤The wind blew the ivy branch aside, and Mary saw the garden door. 对应原文“Suddenly, the wind blew a long ivy branch aside. Mary gasped—there, under the leaves, was a door!”，风吹开常春藤枝条，玛丽看到了花园的门。 因此顺序为③→①→②→④→⑤。 【36题详解】 根据文章最后一段“The door opened. She stepped inside, and her eyes filled with wonder. She was in the secret garden at last!”，玛丽终于踏入了心心念念的秘密花园，内心充满惊奇，按照叙事逻辑，接下来的情节最有可能是玛丽兴奋地探索这座神秘的花园。 D For a long time, students are taught a simple story about plants: roots take in water and nutrients from the soil, while leaves catch sunlight. But a new study suggests that some leaves may have another surprising job. They can take food from dust (尘土). In dry places, dust is everywhere. It blows from deserts, settles on rocks and lands quietly on leaves. To most people, it looks like dirt. To some plants, however, it may be a hidden meal. Researchers studied several plants growing in the Judean Hills, an area that often receives dust from nearby deserts. They put special mineral (矿物质) dust on some leaves and left other plants untreated. Later, they found signs that important nutrients from the dust had moved into the plants. How can a leaf “eat” dust? The answer is chemistry. Leaf surfaces can produce tiny amounts of organic acids (有机酸). These acids help dissolve (溶解) minerals in dust, almost like turning dry powder into a form the plant can use. Nutrients such as iron and copper (铜) may then enter through the leaf surface. This finding has changed the way we think about plants. Roots are still important, but they may not be the only door for food. In places where soil is poor, dusty air may become part of a plant’s survival plan. The lesson is larger than botany (植物学). We often think we understand something because we know the textbook version. Then science quietly opens a side door. A leaf is not only a green solar panel (太阳能板). Under the right conditions, it may also be a tiny dining table, catching meals that fall from the sky. 37. What can we learn from the study in the Judean Hills? A. Dust from deserts is bad for most plants there. B. Plants in dry places only take in food by their roots. C. Rainwater helps plants turn dust into useful soil directly. D. Some plants can get nutrients from dust through their leaves. 38. How do leaves take in dust according to the passage? A. They use sunlight to turn dust into food. B. They blow dust away to keep leaves clean. C. They absorb dust directly through their roots. D. They produce acids to dissolve minerals in dust. 39. What does the writer mean by saying “The lesson is larger than botany.”? A. The natural world is full of surprises. B. We should learn more to study plants well. C. We should open our minds and see things differently. D. We can learn more knowledge outside botany classes. 40. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A. A New Study: The Importance of Leaves B. Dust to Dinner: A New Side of Leaves C. Dusty Air: A Hidden Meal in Deserts D. Mystery of Plants: More Than Botany 【答案】37. D 38. D 39. C 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了植物叶片可以从尘土中吸收养分的新研究发现，挑战了传统认为只有根部才能吸收营养的观念，并指出这一发现启示我们要以更开放的眼光看待事物。 【37题详解】 根据第二段，研究者在Judean Hills进行实验，将特殊矿物尘土撒在部分叶片上，后来发现尘土中的重要营养物质进入了植物体内，说明“some plants can get nutrients from dust through their leaves”。 【38题详解】 根据第三段，叶片表面会产生少量有机酸，这些酸能溶解尘土中的矿物质，使其变成植物可利用的形式，因此叶片是通过“produce acids to dissolve minerals in dust”来吸收养分的。 【39题详解】 根据最后一段，作者说“The lesson is larger than botany”，随后指出我们常因课本知识而自以为了解事物，但科学会打开另一扇门，意在说明“we should open our minds and see things differently”。 【40题详解】 全文围绕叶片能从尘土中获取营养的新发现展开，强调叶片除了作为“太阳能板”外，还能“catch meals that fall from the sky”，因此“Dust to Dinner: A New Side of Leaves”最能概括主旨。 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。 Ways to make a great first impression You’ve heard it a million times already, but it really does take but a few seconds to make that all-important first impression. ____41____ Have a proper handshake. ____42____ A perfect handshake is neither too strong nor too weak. If they don’t have a reason to use their left hands, most people use the right. However, don’t have your left hand in your pocket because this appears impolite. Be on time. When you meet someone for the first time, arriving on time is as important as breathing. You may have an excuse, but that will leave the person who doesn’t know you well enough with a bad impression. ____43____ It’s better to move around the place than be stuck in traffic. Introduce yourself and ask about the names. Make sure you properly introduce yourself. Ask about their names in a polite way. Repeat the names and use them later in conversation. Those will make it easier to leave a good impression. ____44____ ____45____ To get the most out of your discussion, try to find something in common between the two of you. It could be a similar taste in clothes or a common hobby. A person will feel more comfortable with someone he can easily talk to. A. Make good conversation. B. Here are some easy ways for you to follow. C. Generally, plan to arrive about 30 minutes early. D. So you can build a warm and friendly relationship with others quickly. E. Also, you should always remember to stand up when introducing yourself. F. Before you shake hands with somebody, make sure that your hands are clean. 【答案】41. B 42. F 43. C 44. E 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了给人留下良好第一印象的几种具体方法，包括握手、准时、自我介绍和交谈等方面。 【41题详解】 第一段为总起段落，全文共有四个小标题，因此首段需要一个总起句引出下文建议。B项“Here are some easy ways for you to follow.”作为过渡句，位于第一个小标题之前，符合说明文的开篇结构。 【42题详解】 第二段标题为“Have a proper handshake.”，内容主要讲述“A perfect handshake is neither too strong nor too weak.”。空格处应补充与“握手”相关的额外建议，且能引出后文对握手方式的描述。F项“Before you shake hands with somebody, make sure that your hands are clean.”与段落主题直接相关，且后文“A perfect handshake...”具体描述了握手方式，形成递进关系。 【43题详解】 第三段空格前提到“You may have an excuse, but that will leave... with a bad impression.”，空格后说“It’s better to move around the place than be stuck in traffic.”。因此空格处应提出具体建议，强调提前到达的重要性。C项“Generally, plan to arrive about 30 minutes early.”直接承接前文“准时的重要性”，并引出后文的具体建议。 【44题详解】 第四段主题为“Introduce yourself and ask about the names.”。空格前提到“Repeat the names and use them later in conversation. Those will make it easier to leave a good impression.”，空格处应补充另一个提升印象的细节。E项“Also, you should always remember to stand up when introducing yourself.”与段落主题一致，且“Also”提示为补充信息。 【45题详解】 最后一段内容为“To get the most out of your discussion, try to find something in common between the two of you.”，该段强调通过寻找共同话题来促进交流。A项“Make good conversation.”作为本段小标题，高度概括了“找到共同点以促进交流”的核心内容。 V. 词汇运用 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) A) 阅读下面对话，从方框中选用恰当的单词或短语填空 (每个单词或短语只能用一次) 。 until; had better; relax; good manners; politely A: Hi, Tom!

He made careful preparations for his journey. He bought a strong and fast horse, prepared plenty of money, and hired an experienced driver. Then he got on his carriage and started his trip. However, to everyone’s surprise, he drove his carriage straight towards the north. When a wise passer-by saw this, he stopped the man and asked, “You are going to Chu, right? Chu lies in the south. Why are you heading north?” The man looked calm and confident. He said proudly, “I have nothing to worry about. My horse is strong, my money is enough, and my driver is very skillful. With these advantages, I can reach Chu easily.” The passer-by shook his head and sighed (叹气) deeply. He told the man, “All these advantages are useless if your direction is wrong. The better your conditions are, the farther you will be from your destination.” This story has been told for thousands of years. It reminds us of something important. When we work towards something, having good conditions and trying hard are helpful. But there is one thing that matters most. We need to know where we are going. If we go the wrong way, no matter how good our horse is or how hard we work, we may never get to where we want to be. 29. In the man’s mind, what is the most important for a journey? A. Taking the correct direction. B. Getting everything ready. C. Keeping himself calm and confident. D. Making everyone surprised. 30. Why did the passer-by shake his head and sigh deeply? A. Because the man had too much money. B. Because the man was too confident in his advantages. C. Because the man was heading north while Chu was in the south. D. Because the horse was not strong enough to get to the State of Chu. 31. What does the underlined word “destination” mean? A. aim B. journey C. start D. south 32. What does the story mainly tell us? A. Good conditions can make our journey easier. B. We should never give up even if things go wrong. C. It’s important to prepare well before starting a trip. D. We should check our direction before working hard. C The next two days it rained and it was very windy, so Mary couldn’t go outside. On the third morning, she opened her eyes to a bright blue sky. She ran to the window and gasped, “Martha! Come look at the moor!” Martha smiled as she entered. “The rain’s gone, and spring’s coming.” That day, Martha left to visit her mother. Mary felt lonely, so she stepped into the warm sunshine. She ran around the fountain ten times, feeling lighter than ever. In the vegetable garden, she found Ben Weatherstaff. “The spring’s coming,” he said, pointing to green shoots in the soil. “See those crocuses, snowdrops and daffodils?” Mary’s eyes widened. “Is spring coming to the secret garden too? Or are all the flowers dead?” “Ask the robin,” Ben replied, nodding at the bird on the wall. “He’s the only one who knows.” Then he went back to work. As the robin hopped, Mary spotted something glinting in the soil. She picked it up. It was an old key. “The key to the secret garden!” she whispered, clutching it tight. The next morning, Martha gave Mary a skipping rope. “Try it outside!” Mary skipped and skipped, her breath coming fast but her heart light. Soon she reached the wall where the robin sat. “You showed me the key yesterday,” Mary said to the bird. “Can you show me the door today?” The robin flew to the wall’s top and sang loudly. Suddenly, the wind blew a long ivy branch aside. Mary gasped—there, under the leaves, was a door! Her hands shook as she pulled the key from her pocket. She inserted it into the lock, turned it, and pushed. The door opened. She stepped inside, and her eyes filled with wonder. She was in the secret garden at last! — Adapted from The Secret Garden 33. Why didn’t Mary go outside for the first two days? A. Because the weather was bad. B. Because she felt lonely. C. Because she wanted to stay with Martha. D. Because the moor was too far. 34. What can you infer (推断) about Ben from the passage? A. Ben knew everything about the secret garden. B. Ben didn’t want Mary to find the secret garden. C. Ben believed the robin was special and helpful. D. Ben was too busy to talk with Mary about the secret garden. 35. Which of the following is the correct order of the events? ① Mary found the old key to the secret garden. ② Martha gave Mary a skipping rope as a present. ③ Ben told Mary that the robin knew about the secret garden. ④ Mary skipped around the garden and met the robin on the wall. ⑤ The wind blew the ivy branch aside, and Mary saw the garden door. A. ②→④→③→①→⑤ B. ③→①→②→④→⑤ C. ③→②→④→①→⑤ D. ①→③→②→⑤→④ 36. What may the story talk about next? A. Mary would explore the garden excitedly. B. Mary would give the key back to the robin. C. Mary would close the door and go back home. D. Mary would tell Martha something about the garden. D For a long time, students are taught a simple story about plants: roots take in water and nutrients from the soil, while leaves catch sunlight. But a new study suggests that some leaves may have another surprising job. They can take food from dust (尘土). In dry places, dust is everywhere. It blows from deserts, settles on rocks and lands quietly on leaves. To most people, it looks like dirt. To some plants, however, it may be a hidden meal. Researchers studied several plants growing in the Judean Hills, an area that often receives dust from nearby deserts. They put special mineral (矿物质) dust on some leaves and left other plants untreated. Later, they found signs that important nutrients from the dust had moved into the plants. How can a leaf “eat” dust? The answer is chemistry. Leaf surfaces can produce tiny amounts of organic acids (有机酸). These acids help dissolve (溶解) minerals in dust, almost like turning dry powder into a form the plant can use. Nutrients such as iron and copper (铜) may then enter through the leaf surface. This finding has changed the way we think about plants. Roots are still important, but they may not be the only door for food.
