三、阅读理解(每题2分,共15题,共计30分)
A
It was in my second year in college. One day, Dr. Simpson was lecturing, and we were dutifully taking notes. Suddenly he stopped and fixed a cold stare on a student in the second row. The student stared back, crossed his arms over his chest, and lifted his chin.
“What is your problem, young man?” the professor demanded. “You,” the student replied. “Me?” “Yeah, you and the boring course you’re teaching.” I sat in terror and surprise. I had never seen such a scene. “Get out of my class!” Dr. Simpson thundered. The student snatched up his books and headed toward the classroom door. The door slammed shut, and Dr. Simpson continued his lecture. I didn’t hear a word he said. My complete attention was on the student who had stormed out of the room.
Five minutes or so went by; Dr. Simpson stopped his lecture. He scanned the class and asked, “What have I been lecturing about for the last five minutes?” I didn’t know. Nobody knew. The class was silent. Then, Dr. Simpson said, “John, go tell Fred that he can come back in.” As Fred was making his way back to his seat, Dr. Simpson thanked him and complimented him on an excellent acting job. As it turned out, they had cooked it up ahead of time.
We sat in stunned silence.
And then, Dr. Simpson said something I would never forget. “You weren’t listening to my lecture. None of you were. You were all thinking about Fred and our little dust-up. Remember that when you start teaching, any time there is a disruption in class, you lose your students’ attention.”
It was one of the most useful lessons I ever learned in college. Over the years, my class was interrupted by fire alarms and other distractions. Every time I lost the class’s attention, I flashed back to the lesson Dr. Simpson taught me that day. I gave my students five minutes to discuss what had happened and then said cheerfully, “Let’s get back to today’s lesson plan!”
36. Why didn’t the author hear Dr. Simpson’s lecture after Fred left?
A. The author was too scared of Dr. Simpson’s anger.
B. The author’s attention was entirely on Fred.
C. Dr. Simpson’s lecture was too boring to follow.
D. The author was busy taking notes about the incident.
37. What does the underlined part “cooked it up” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Invented a plan. B. Made an excuse. C. Found a solution. D. Created a puzzle.
38. How did the students feel after they knew the truth?
A. Satisfied. B. Relieved. C. Confused. D. Disappointed.
39. What does the author want to share by writing the text?
A. A strategy to attract students. B. A strategy to handle a conflict.
C. A way to discipline students. D. A way to deal with a disruption.
40. Which word can best describe Dr. Simpson’s teaching style?
A. Strict and traditional. B. Humorous and casual.
C. Creative and instructive. D. Boring and uninteresting.
B
Songbirds do have a perfect voice. Every species of bird wakes up at a very particular time in the morning and begins to sing. This is because each species has its own specific waking stimulus (刺激), which is linked to the brightness of the sunlight.
Like human beings have to learn to speak, birds also have to learn how to sing. They do this in several stages. First, they practise voices and sounds, which is comparable to the early stage in human language development. During the second stage, the birds practise their song for eight to nine months, until memory and practice match up. The singing is strengthened during the final stage.
Although nightingales got their name as a result of their singing at night, not all nightingales sing at night. Generally, both males and females sing during the day. The night song is used mainly for seeking partners. After succeeding in attracting a female, the male nightingale falls silent and doesn’t start his song again until the early morning.
Birds are seasonal singers. We only hear numerous kinds of bird concerts between spring and high summer. This is the time when birds are looking for partners, and when the males aim to impress the females with their song and mark out their territory at the same time. However, even after they have found a partner, male birds continue to sing, because this is the time when they are showing their offspring (幼崽) how to sing.
Birds don’t all sing as well as others, not even within a species. The song of a bird in London will be quite different from that of a bird in Paris or Berlin. Although the members of each bird species share a vocabulary of sounds, dialect (方言) differences are quite common. The individual dialects are not natural but are learnt while the birds are still young — just as children adopt the dialect of their parents. The young birds always sing as well or as badly as their teachers, because the adults on whom they model themselves vary in style and talent from region to region.
41. Why do different species of birds sing at different times in the morning?
A. They have varied models of memory.
B. They prefer different weather conditions.
C. They respond to the brightness differently.
D. They have different reference objects of waking up.
42. The second paragraph tells us _________.
A. how birds learn to sing B. what songs birds like best
C. how birds improve their singing D. where humans’ and birds’ singing differ
43. What’s the main reason for the male nightingale’s singing at night?
A. To mark its territory. B. To teach its offspring.
C. To drive enemies away. D. To draw females’ attention.
44. What mainly determines a bird’s sound of singing?
A. Its inborn talent. B. Its learning ability.
C. Its species’ popularity. D. Its growing environment.
45. What may be the best title of the text?
A. The Science of Birds’ Singing B. Language Development of Birds
C. The Seasonal Feature of Birdsong D. The Role of Dialects in Bird Communication
C
If you’ve ever found yourself scratching your head over a decision when the answer is obvious, now there’s a scientific reason behind it. “The problem is ‘decision fatigue’ — a psychological phenomenon that influences the quality of your choices after a long day of decision making, causing indecision or poor choices.” says Evan Polman, a leading psychologist.
Physicians who have been on the job for several hours, for example, are more likely to prescribe antibiotics (开抗生素) to patients when it's unwise to do so. “Probably it’s because it’s simple and easy to write a prescription and consider a patient case closed rather than investigate further,” Polman says.
But interestingly, decision fatigue goes away when you are making the decision for someone else. When people imagine themselves as advisers and imagine their own choices as belonging to someone else, they feel less tired and rely less on decision shortcuts to make those choices. “By taking upon the role of adviser rather than decision maker, one does not suffer the consequences of decision fatigue,” he says. “It’s as if there’s something fun and relieving about making someone else’s choice.”
“Getting input from others not only offers a fresh idea and thought process; it often also includes riskier choices. While this sounds undesirable, it can be quite good,” says Polman. “When people experience decision fatigue, they have a tendency to choose to go with the status quo (现状),” he says. “But the status quo can be problematic, since a change in the course of action can sometimes be important and lead to a positive outcome.” In order to achieve a successful outcome or reward, some level of risk is almost always essential. “People with decision fatigue will likely choose to do nothing over something,” he says, “That’s not to say that risk is always good, but it is related to taking action whereas decision fatigue certainly leads to inaction.”
“Just because you can make good choices for others doesn’t mean you’ll do the same for yourself,” Polman cautions. “Research has found that women negotiate higher salaries for others than they do for themselves,” he says, adding that people slip in and out of decision roles.
46. Decision fatigue may cause people to make decisions that are_______________.
A. reasonable B. objective
C. unwise D. smart
47. Which of the following may be made by a person with decision fatigue?
A. A consumer buys a lot of food to prepare for a dinner.
B. A judge makes a less convincing judgment late in the day.
C. A student plans to finish his math homework in the morning.
D. A physician advises the patient to drink more water after examination.
48. When do people feel less decision fatigue?
A. When they take decision shortcuts.
B. When they have advisers to turn to.
C. When they have major decisions to make.
D. When they help others to make decisions.
49. What are people likely to do when decision fatigue sets in?
A. They stop trying anything new.
B. They adopt a totally new idea.
C. They tend to make risky decisions.
D. They turn to physicians for advice.
50. What does Polman say about taking some risks in decision making?
A. It will often end in regret.
B. It is likely to cause serious consequences.
C. It will enable people to be more creative.
D. It is necessary to achieve successful outcome.

阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
After being evacuated (疏散) from her Florida home following Hurricane Michael. Amber Gee was attempting to get an idea of the destruction left behind when she discovered a sign of trouble. As reported by ABC News, Gee was using NOAA’s interactive aerial map (交互式航拍地图) to check the damage done to her and her family’s homes when she spotted the word “H-E-L-P” spelled out in the yard.
The NOAA website allows those impacted in the hurricane to get a look at specific streets or homes by zooming in on (用变焦距镜头拉近) aerial imagery of the affected area. According to ABC News, Gee was looking at one of these photos when she noticed a cry for help spelled out in wood in the front yard of her grandmother’s Bay County home.
Though her grandmother had evacuated, several other family members, including Gee’s uncle and his wife, had stayed behind. After spotting the message, Gee alerted (向……报警) Bay County Emergency Services, who went to the house and rescued those who were trapped in the residence.
“Apparently, they had to cut through a lot of downed trees to get there,” Gee told ABC News. Her uncle, Ernest, had reportedly used wood from one of those trees to spell out the message.
After the rescue, Bay County Emergency Services posted the incident on their Facebook page, writing, “This is an incredible story of how people are working together in this situation. Someone from another county was using the mapping app to check property in rural Bay County and noticed the word ‘help’ spelled out in the grass in wood. That person immediately contacted us and sent the picture and we dispatched emergency workers.”
Meanwhile, Gee says she is thankful that she was able to use the mapping tool to get her family to safety. “The hurricane has turned everything upside down everywhere. Some were more fortunate than others. I’m just happy that everybody is safe and sound and, hopefully, soon we will all get through this together and recover from this storm,” she said.
51. What did Gee use the mapping app to do? (no more than 12 words)

15. This morning, Dad got up late and hurried to his office, ________ the breakfast untouched.
A. leave B. left C. leaving D. to be left
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:今天早上爸爸起晚了,匆忙赶往办公室,早餐一动没动就留在那里。句中已有谓语got up和hurried,空处作非谓语动词,且结合语意可知,早餐留在那里是爸爸起晚匆忙赶往办公室的结果,所以空处应使用现在分词leaving作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果。

三、阅读理解(每题2分,共15题,共计30分)
A
It was in my second year in college. One day, Dr. Simpson was lecturing, and we were dutifully taking notes. Suddenly he stopped and fixed a cold stare on a student in the second row. The student stared back, crossed his arms over his chest, and lifted his chin.
“What is your problem, young man?” the professor demanded. “You,” the student replied. “Me?” “Yeah, you and the boring course you’re teaching.” I sat in terror and surprise. I had never seen such a scene. “Get out of my class!” Dr. Simpson thundered. The student snatched up his books and headed toward the classroom door. The door slammed shut, and Dr. Simpson continued his lecture. I didn’t hear a word he said. My complete attention was on the student who had stormed out of the room.
Five minutes or so went by; Dr. Simpson stopped his lecture. He scanned the class and asked, “What have I been lecturing about for the last five minutes?” I didn’t know. Nobody knew. The class was silent. Then, Dr. Simpson said, “John, go tell Fred that he can come back in.” As Fred was making his way back to his seat, Dr. Simpson thanked him and complimented him on an excellent acting job. As it turned out, they had cooked it up ahead of time.
We sat in stunned silence.
And then, Dr. Simpson said something I would never forget. “You weren’t listening to my lecture. None of you were. You were all thinking about Fred and our little dust-up. Remember that when you start teaching, any time there is a disruption in class, you lose your students’ attention.”
It was one of the most useful lessons I ever learned in college. Over the years, my class was interrupted by fire alarms and other distractions. Every time I lost the class’s attention, I flashed back to the lesson Dr. Simpson taught me that day. I gave my students five minutes to discuss what had happened and then said cheerfully, “Let’s get back to today’s lesson plan!”
36. Why didn’t the author hear Dr. Simpson’s lecture after Fred left?
A. The author was too scared of Dr. Simpson’s anger.
B. The author’s attention was entirely on Fred.
C. Dr. Simpson’s lecture was too boring to follow.
D. The author was busy taking notes about the incident.
37. What does the underlined part “cooked it up” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Invented a plan. B. Made an excuse. C. Found a solution. D. Created a puzzle.
38. How did the students feel after they knew the truth?
A. Satisfied. B. Relieved. C. Confused. D. Disappointed.
39. What does the author want to share by writing the text?
A. A strategy to attract students. B. A strategy to handle a conflict.
C. A way to discipline students. D. A way to deal with a disruption.
40. Which word can best describe Dr. Simpson’s teaching style?
A. Strict and traditional. B. Humorous and casual.
C. Creative and instructive. D. Boring and uninteresting.
【答案】36. B 37. A 38. C 39. D 40. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在大学时,Simpson教授通过一场精心设计的课堂“冲突”给作者上了一堂关于如何应对课堂干扰的课。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“I didn’t hear a word he said. My complete attention was on the student who had stormed out of the room.(他说的我一个字也没听进去。我全部的注意力都集中在那个冲出房间的学生身上)”可知,Fred离开后,作者没有听到Simpson教授的课是因为作者的注意力完全在Fred身上。故选B。
【37题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“As Fred was making his way back to his seat, Dr. Simpson thanked him and complimented him on an excellent acting job.(当Fred回到座位时,Simpson博士感谢了他,并称赞他表演得非常出色)”以及第四段“We sat in stunned silence.(我们震惊地沉默着)”可知,Fred和Simpson教授的冲突是提前设计好的,目的是为了给同学们上一课。所以“cooked it up”意思是“编造了一个计划”。故选A。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“We sat in stunned silence.(我们坐在那里,震惊得一片沉默)”可知,学生们在得知这是一场表演后感到震惊和困惑,无法立刻反应。这种情绪属于“confused(困惑的)”。故选C。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Every time I lost the class’s attention, I flashed back to the lesson Dr. Simpson taught me that day. I gave my students five minutes to discuss what had happened and then said cheerfully, “Let’s get back to today’s lesson plan!”(每次我失去学生的注意力时,我都会回想起Simpson博士那天教给我的一课。我给学生们五分钟时间讨论发生了什么,然后高兴地说:“让我们回到今天的课程计划吧!”)”可知,作者写这篇文章是想分享一种应对课堂干扰的方法。故选D。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容可知,Simpson教授通过一场精心设计的课堂“冲突”给作者上了一堂关于如何应对课堂干扰的课,说明他的教学方法很有创意,并且这一课对作者产生了深远的影响,说明他的教学方法很有启发性,所以Simpson教授的教学风格是有创意且有启发性的。故选C。
B
Songbirds do have a perfect voice. Every species of bird wakes up at a very particular time in the morning and begins to sing. This is because each species has its own specific waking stimulus (刺激), which is linked to the brightness of the sunlight.
Like human beings have to learn to speak, birds also have to learn how to sing. They do this in several stages. First, they practise voices and sounds, which is comparable to the early stage in human language development. During the second stage, the birds practise their song for eight to nine months, until memory and practice match up. The singing is strengthened during the final stage.
Although nightingales got their name as a result of their singing at night, not all nightingales sing at night. Generally, both males and females sing during the day. The night song is used mainly for seeking partners. After succeeding in attracting a female, the male nightingale falls silent and doesn’t start his song again until the early morning.
Birds are seasonal singers. We only hear numerous kinds of bird concerts between spring and high summer. This is the time when birds are looking for partners, and when the males aim to impress the females with their song and mark out their territory at the same time. However, even after they have found a partner, male birds continue to sing, because this is the time when they are showing their offspring (幼崽) how to sing.
Birds don’t all sing as well as others, not even within a species. The song of a bird in London will be quite different from that of a bird in Paris or Berlin. Although the members of each bird species share a vocabulary of sounds, dialect (方言) differences are quite common. The individual dialects are not natural but are learnt while the birds are still young — just as children adopt the dialect of their parents. The young birds always sing as well or as badly as their teachers, because the adults on whom they model themselves vary in style and talent from region to region.
41. Why do different species of birds sing at different times in the morning?
A. They have varied models of memory.
B. They prefer different weather conditions.
C. They respond to the brightness differently.
D. They have different reference objects of waking up.
42. The second paragraph tells us _________.
A. how birds learn to sing B. what songs birds like best
C. how birds improve their singing D. where humans’ and birds’ singing differ
43. What’s the main reason for the male nightingale’s singing at night?
A. To mark its territory. B. To teach its offspring.
C. To drive enemies away. D. To draw females’ attention.
44. What mainly determines a bird’s sound of singing?
A. Its inborn talent. B. Its learning ability.
C. Its species’ popularity. D. Its growing environment.
45. What may be the best title of the text?
A. The Science of Birds’ Singing B. Language Development of Birds
C. The Seasonal Feature of Birdsong D. The Role of Dialects in Bird Communication
【答案】41. C 42. A 43. D 44. D 45. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要从多个角度科学解析鸣禽鸣叫的相关特性与背后的原理。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“This is because each species has its own specific waking stimulus (刺激), which is linked to the brightness of the sunlight.(这是因为每个鸟类物种都有自己专属的唤醒刺激,这个刺激和阳光的亮度直接相关)”可知,不同鸟类在清晨不同时间鸣叫,是因为它们对不同亮度的阳光做出的反应存在差异。
【42题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Like human beings have to learn to speak, birds also have to learn how to sing. They do this in several stages.(就像人类必须学习说话一样,鸟类也必须学习如何鸣叫,它们会分几个阶段完成这个过程)”可知,整段内容都在介绍鸟类学习鸣叫的完整过程。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The night song is used mainly for seeking partners.(夜莺的夜间鸣叫主要是为了寻找伴侣)”可知,雄性夜莺夜间鸣叫的核心目的是吸引雌性的注意。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The individual dialects are not natural but are learnt while the birds are still young — just as children adopt the dialect of their parents. The young birds always sing as well or as badly as their teachers, because the adults on whom they model themselves vary in style and talent from region to region.(个体的方言并非天生的,而是鸟类年幼时学来的——正如孩子采用父母的方言。幼鸟唱得和它们的“老师”一样好或一样差,因为作为榜样的成年鸟因地区不同在风格和天赋上各异)”可知,鸟类的鸣叫特点是在成长过程中向周围成鸟模仿习得的,由它的成长环境决定。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。全文从鸣叫时间、学习过程、鸣叫目的、季节性特征、方言差异等多个维度,系统介绍了鸟类鸣叫背后的科学原理,所以题目“The Science of Birds’ Singing(鸟类鸣叫的科学)”概括了文章的主题,适合作为最佳标题。
C
If you’ve ever found yourself scratching your head over a decision when the answer is obvious, now there’s a scientific reason behind it. “The problem is ‘decision fatigue’ — a psychological phenomenon that influences the quality of your choices after a long day of decision making, causing indecision or poor choices.” says Evan Polman, a leading psychologist.
Physicians who have been on the job for several hours, for example, are more likely to prescribe antibiotics (开抗生素) to patients when it's unwise to do so. “Probably it’s because it’s simple and easy to write a prescription and consider a patient case closed rather than investigate further,” Polman says.
But interestingly, decision fatigue goes away when you are making the decision for someone else. When people imagine themselves as advisers and imagine their own choices as belonging to someone else, they feel less tired and rely less on decision shortcuts to make those choices. “By taking upon the role of adviser rather than decision maker, one does not suffer the consequences of decision fatigue,” he says. “It’s as if there’s something fun and relieving about making someone else’s choice.”
“Getting input from others not only offers a fresh idea and thought process; it often also includes riskier choices. While this sounds undesirable, it can be quite good,” says Polman. “When people experience decision fatigue, they have a tendency to choose to go with the status quo (现状),” he says. “But the status quo can be problematic, since a change in the course of action can sometimes be important and lead to a positive outcome.” In order to achieve a successful outcome or reward, some level of risk is almost always essential. “People with decision fatigue will likely choose to do nothing over something,” he says, “That’s not to say that risk is always good, but it is related to taking action whereas decision fatigue certainly leads to inaction.”
“Just because you can make good choices for others doesn’t mean you’ll do the same for yourself,” Polman cautions. “Research has found that women negotiate higher salaries for others than they do for themselves,” he says, adding that people slip in and out of decision roles.
46. Decision fatigue may cause people to make decisions that are_______________.
A. reasonable B. objective
C. unwise D. smart
47. Which of the following may be made by a person with decision fatigue?
A. A consumer buys a lot of food to prepare for a dinner.
B. A judge makes a less convincing judgment late in the day.
C. A student plans to finish his math homework in the morning.
D. A physician advises the patient to drink more water after examination.
48. When do people feel less decision fatigue?
A. When they take decision shortcuts.
B. When they have advisers to turn to.
C. When they have major decisions to make.
D. When they help others to make decisions.
49. What are people likely to do when decision fatigue sets in?
A. They stop trying anything new.
B. They adopt a totally new idea.
C. They tend to make risky decisions.
D. They turn to physicians for advice.
50. What does Polman say about taking some risks in decision making?
A. It will often end in regret.
B. It is likely to cause serious consequences.
C. It will enable people to be more creative.
D. It is necessary to achieve successful outcome.
【答案】46. C 47. B 48. D 49. A 50. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。如果你曾经发现自己在一个答案显而易见的决定面前抓耳挠腮,那么这背后是有科学依据的。文章介绍了“决策疲劳”这一心理现象。
【46题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The problem is ‘decision fatigue’ — a psychological phenomenon that influences the quality of your choices after a long day of decision making, causing indecision or poor choices.” says Evan Polman, a leading psychologist. (“问题在于‘决策疲劳’,这是一种心理现象,在漫长的一天的决策后,会影响你的选择质量,导致优柔寡断或做出糟糕的选择。”著名心理学家埃文·波尔曼说)可知,决策疲劳可能会导致人们做出不明智的决定。故选C。
【47题详解】

A judge makes a less convincing judgment late in the day.(法官在当天晚些时候做出的判决不那么令人信服)符合题意,法官属于决策疲劳。故选B。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的But interestingly, decision fatigue goes away when you are making the decision for someone else. (但有趣的是,当你为别人做决定时,决策疲劳就会消失)可知,当人们帮助别人做决定时,他们很少会感到决策疲劳。故选D。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“People with decision fatigue will likely choose to do nothing over something,” he says, “That’s not to say that risk is always good, but it is related to taking action whereas decision fatigue certainly leads to inaction.”(“有决策疲劳症的人很可能会选择什么都不做,而不是去做某件事,”他说,“这并不是说风险总是好的,但它与采取行动有关,而决策疲劳肯定会导致不作为。”)可知,当决定疲劳出现时,人们很可能会停止尝试任何新事物。故选A。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的In order to achieve a successful outcome or reward, some level of risk is almost always essential. (为了获得成功的结果或回报,一定程度的风险几乎总是必不可少的)可知,波尔曼认为在决策过程中承担一些风险是取得成功的必要条件。故选D。

阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
After being evacuated (疏散) from her Florida home following Hurricane Michael. Amber Gee was attempting to get an idea of the destruction left behind when she discovered a sign of trouble. As reported by ABC News, Gee was using NOAA’s interactive aerial map (交互式航拍地图) to check the damage done to her and her family’s homes when she spotted the word “H-E-L-P” spelled out in the yard.
The NOAA website allows those impacted in the hurricane to get a look at specific streets or homes by zooming in on (用变焦距镜头拉近) aerial imagery of the affected area. According to ABC News, Gee was looking at one of these photos when she noticed a cry for help spelled out in wood in the front yard of her grandmother’s Bay County home.
Though her grandmother had evacuated, several other family members, including Gee’s uncle and his wife, had stayed behind. After spotting the message, Gee alerted (向……报警) Bay County Emergency Services, who went to the house and rescued those who were trapped in the residence.
“Apparently, they had to cut through a lot of downed trees to get there,” Gee told ABC News. Her uncle, Ernest, had reportedly used wood from one of those trees to spell out the message.
After the rescue, Bay County Emergency Services posted the incident on their Facebook page, writing, “This is an incredible story of how people are working together in this situation. Someone from another county was using the mapping app to check property in rural Bay County and noticed the word ‘help’ spelled out in the grass in wood. That person immediately contacted us and sent the picture and we dispatched emergency workers.”
Meanwhile, Gee says she is thankful that she was able to use the mapping tool to get her family to safety. “The hurricane has turned everything upside down everywhere. Some were more fortunate than others. I’m just happy that everybody is safe and sound and, hopefully, soon we will all get through this together and recover from this storm,” she said.
51. What did Gee use the mapping app to do? (no more than 12 words)
________________________________________________________________________________________
52. Who can look at the NOAA website’s aerial photos of the affected area? (no more than 5 words)

54. What does the underlined word “dispatched” in Para. 5 probably mean? (one word)
________________________________________________________________________________________
55. What lesson can you learn from this story? Please explain. (no more than 25 words)
________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】51. To check Hurricane Michael’s damage to her and her family’s homes.
52. Victims of the hurricane. Or: Those affected/impacted in the hurricane.
53. Ernest. Or: Amber Gee’s uncle.
54. Sent. 55. We should not panic in the face of natural disasters; instead we should try every means to save ourselves. Or: Gee used the mapping app and saved her family with the help of Emergency Services, so we should make full use of modern technology.
【解析】
【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章描述了一起在飓风过后,通过交互式航拍地图发现求救信号并成功救援的真实事件。
【51题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第一段“As reported by ABC News, Gee was using NOAA’s interactive aerial map (交互式航拍地图) to check the damage done to her and her family’s homes when she spotted the word “H-E-L-P” spelled out in the yard.(据美国广播公司新闻报道,当吉发现院子里拼写出“H-E-L-P”这个词时,她正在使用美国国家海洋和大气管理局的交互式航空地图检查对她和她家人的房屋造成的损害)”可知,Gee用地图应用检查飓风迈克尔给她和她的家庭造成的损失。故填To check Hurricane Michael’s damage to her and her family’s homes.
【52题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“The NOAA website allows those impacted in the hurricane to get a look at specific streets or homes by zooming in on (用变焦距镜头拉近) aerial imagery of the affected area.(美国国家海洋和大气管理局的网站允许受飓风影响的人们通过放大受影响地区的航空图像来查看特定的街道或房屋)”可知,受飓风影响的人可以查看NOAA网站上受灾地区的航拍照片。故填Victims of the hurricane. Or: Those affected/impacted in the hurricane.
【53题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段“Though her grandmother had evacuated, several other family members, including Gee’s uncle and his wife, had stayed behind.(虽然她的祖母已经撤离,但其他几个家庭成员,包括吉的叔叔和他的妻子,都留下来了)”以及第四段“Her uncle, Ernest, had reportedly used wood from one of those trees to spell out the message.(据报道,她的叔叔Ernest用其中一棵树上的木头拼出了这个信息)”可知,Ernest,Amber Gee的叔叔拼出“救命”来呼救。故填Ernest. Or:Amber Gee’s uncle.
【54题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据前文“Someone from another county was using the mapping app to check property in rural Bay County and noticed the word ‘help’ spelled out in the grass in wood. That person immediately contacted us and sent the picture(另一个县的人在使用这款地图应用查看海湾县农村地区的房产时,注意到树林里的草地上写着“help”这个词。那个人立即联系了我们,发了照片)”可知,看到有人需要救助,应是派出了紧急救援人员,推知dispatched意为“派送”之意,和sent意思相近。故填Sent.
【55题详解】
开放性问题。根据第一段“After being evacuated (疏散) from her Florida home following Hurricane Michael, Amber Ge e was attempting to get an idea of the destruction left behind when she discovered a sign of trouble. As reported by ABC News, Gee was using NOAA’s interactive aerial map (交互式航拍地图) to check the damage done to her and her family’s homes when she spotted the word “H-E-L-P” spelled out in the yard.(飓风“迈克尔”过后,Amber Gee从佛罗里达的家中被疏散出来,当她发现有麻烦的迹象时,她正试图了解留下的破坏情况。据美国广播公司新闻报道,当吉发现院子里拼写出“H-E-L-P”这个词时,她正在使用美国国家海洋和大气管理局的交互式航空地图检查对她和她家人的房屋造成的损害)”以及纵观全文可知,本文主要讲述了飓风过后,人们的应对方式,所以从本文中我们学到:面对自然灾害,我们不应惊慌失措;相反,我们应该尽一切努力拯救自己;结合Gee使用地图应用,在紧急服务部门的帮助下救了她的家人,所以我们应该充分利用现代技术来处理。故填We should not panic in the face of natural disasters; instead we should try every means to save ourselves. Or: Gee used the mapping app and saved her family with the help of Emergency Services, so we should make full use of modern technology.
