8、alls介绍的那一栏最后一句“The Havasu Falls are on the Havasupai Indian Reservation, which means youll need to get a permit to visit this has become increasingly difficult as more people discover this hidden place.”可知,这个Havasu瀑布位于Havasupai印第安人保留地,这意味着你将需要获得一份参观许可,这份许可随着更多的人们发现这个隐藏的地方而变的越来越困难了。由此可见,去参观Havasu瀑布,人
9、们需要有一份官方的书面声明,即参观许可文件。结合选项可知,选项A正确。【2题详解】细节理解题。由Chutes and Ladders 介绍的那一栏第一句“To get to this secret swimming hole, youll have to take a rope 40 feet down the face of a cliff, and then climb down about 8 feet of lava rock to the pool.”可知,为了到达这个秘密的深水潭,你将不得不沿着悬崖表面抓紧绳索往下40尺,然后顺着火山岩往下爬8尺到达深水潭。由此可见,为了到达Chu
10、tes and Ladders这个深水潭,你需要掌握攀爬悬崖表面和火山岩,这些属于户外技能。结合选项可知,选项C正确。【3题详解】推理判断题。由全文可知,Havasu Falls那一栏介绍的第一句“This attractive waterfall in the Grand Canyon is undoubtedly a destination spot requiring a 10-mile walk to the falls.”表示的是这个在美国大峡谷吸引人的瀑布毫无疑问是一个需要走10英里路的目的地。Hamilton Pool一栏介绍中的第一句“Hamilton Pool was cre
11、ated when an underground rivers roof fell down suddenly”表示的是汉密尔顿水潭是一个地下水溶洞顶部坍塌之后形成的。Chutes and Ladders一栏介绍中的第三句“The swimming hole is on the edge of the ocean a natural pool”表示的是这个深水潭是在海洋的边缘。Homestead Crater介绍那一栏的第一句“The Homestead Crater is hidden under a rock dome(圆顶) with an opening at the top that
12、 allows for sunlight and air.”表示的是这个圆坑池隐藏在一个岩石圆顶下面,这个圆顶顶部是一个开口,可以允许阳光和空气的进入。由此判断出,这4个深水潭都是位于峡谷,山洞或岩石这些偏远的地方。结合选项可知,选项A正确。BOn a recent afternoon, some 60 years after they graduated from grammar school, Kathleen Rys, 72, and her sister Lorraine OKelly, 70, sat down and had a meal with a classmate, Bru
13、ce Smit, 71 for the first time.In the 1950s, Lorraine and Kathleen Rys family moved from Chicago to Monee. As new kids at Monee Elementary School, they soon found themselves on the outs with other students.“I would be with the other guys and see Kathleen walking down the hallway, her head down, hold
14、ing her books, walking slowly. And all of us guys would be flat against the wall until she passed. Then wed burst into laughter. How rude is that? Its just crazy.” said Smit, a doctor whose wife, Tammy, organized the meeting.The women said none of the teachers cared about it. “We just kept it to our
15、selves.” Lorraine said.Over the years, Tammy Smit said, “Bruce would just start to cry at times. Hed wonder what happened to the sisters, if they landed OK.” One day a few weeks ago, Tammy took to the internet and found Mary OKelly, Lorraines daughter, and offered to set up a meeting. The idea of re
16、visiting the pain was not well- received by Kathleen, who had never married, let alone gone on a date. It took some convincing, but Lorraine finally got Kathleen to agree to meet with Bruce.Bruce broke into tears. “Im so ashamed, so embarrassed,” he said. “But Im so happy youre still here and that I
17、 can finally apologize.” He said he hopes his apology will encourage others to seek forgiveness for the pain they make on others. Lorraine said, “This is a beautiful thing. Its just wonderful that a person from 60 years ago can ask for forgiveness. Its like a miracle to us. Its a healing to us.”4. W
18、hat can we learn from the first three paragraphs?A. Kathleen made her classmates afraid of her at school.B. Kathleen was once hurt by her classmates at school.C. Bruce Smit asked his wife to organize the meeting.D. Bruce Smit spoke ill of Kathleen.5. What does “it” probably refer to in the 4nd parag
19、raph?A. The guys meeting.B. Kathleens slow pace.C. The guys apology.D. Kathleens suffering.6. How did Kathleen first feel about the meeting?A. Angry.B. Excited.C. Anxious.D. Unwilling.7 What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Bruce was embarrassed for his apology.B. The other guys apologized to
20、 the two sisters.C. Bruce and the two sisters felt a sense of relief.D. Lorraine thought the apology came a little late.【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. C【解析】本文是记叙文.大约六十年前,Kathleen Rys和她的妹妹Lorraine OKelly转学到一所新学校,不料遭到了同班同学的嘲笑。多年以后,班里的男生Bruce Smit感到非常后悔,其妻子在网上找到这对姐妹的信息后,为他们安排了一次会面。Bruce Smit向她们道了歉,这对姐妹也原谅了他。【4题
21、详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“And all of us guys would be flat against the wall until she passed. Then wed burst into laughter.How rude is that?” 可知,Bruce和其他男生都紧靠着墙,直到Kathleen走过去,然后他们突然大笑起来,这是非常无礼的;并结合前两段内容可推知,Kathleen曾经受到同班同学的伤害,故选B项。【5题详解】词义猜测题。根据第三段“And all of us guys would be flat against the wall until she pa
22、ssed. Then wed burst into laughter. How rude is that?(我们男生都紧靠着墙,直到她走过去,然后我们突然大笑起来,这是非常无礼的)”并结合第四段中的“The women said none of the teachers cared about it.”和“We just kept it to ourselves”可知,没有任何老师对此表示关心,她们也不对别人说;据此可推知,it指代Kathleen因受到同班同学的嘲笑而遭受的精神上的痛苦,故选D项。【6题详解】推理判断题,根据倒数第二段中“The idea of revisiting the
23、pain was not well- received by Kathleen,” 可知,Kathleen不接受这个重新审视疼痛想法,因此推断对于会面起初 Kathleen是不愿意的。故选D项。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But Im so happy youre still here and that I can finally apologize(但是我很高兴你仍然在这,我终于可以道歉了。)”可知Bruce很高兴能当面向Kathleen道歉,再根据“Its a healing to us”可知,Lorraine认为Bruce的道歉抚平了Kathleen的伤疤,由此可知,时隔多年
24、,Bruce和Kathleen都如释重负了,故选C项。CA walk through the galleries of Quebecs Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) places individuals face-to-face with some 43,000 artworks ranging from Chinese ceramics (陶瓷制品) to Inuit sculpture.While the visiting is an incredible cultural experience, a group of local physicia

26、 lift mood.According to Boyer, the small increase in hormones(荷尔蒙)associated with enjoying an afternoon of art is similar to that offered by exercise, making museum prescriptions ideal for the elderly experiencing pain that prevents them from regularly joining in physical activity.The museum visits
27、are designed to improve traditional methods. As Bondil notes, spending time in a peaceful environment can provide a welcome distraction. What is most important is this experience can help them escape from their own pain, she says. When you enter the museum, you escape from the speed of our daily lif
28、e.I am convinced that in the 21st century, culture will be what physical activity was for health in the 20th century, said Bondil. Some people would do well to recall that just in the 19th century, sports were believed to do harm to the body. Just as doctors now prescribe exercise, they will be able

Happy chemical helps to lift mood.C. Peaceful environment helps escape pain.D. Cultural activities will promote health【答案】8.
32、A 9. A 10. C 11. D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了在21世纪,像参观博物馆之类的文化活动将像20世纪体育运动对健康的意义那样提升人们的健康。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段Hlne Boyer, vice president of a Montreal-based medical association, explains that museum visits have been shown to increase levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter known as the happy chemical which he
33、lps to lift mood.可知,Hlne Boyer认为参观博物馆可以提高血清素的水平,而血清素可以提升情绪,由此推知他认为参观博物馆可以让人高兴,振作起来,故A项正确。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的As Bondil notes, spending time in a peaceful environment can provide a welcome distraction. What is most important is this experience can help them escape from their own pain,可知,参观博物馆可以让人们转移
34、注意力,不那么专注于痛苦,故A项正确。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的in the 19th century, sports were believed to do harm to the body. Just as doctors now prescribe exercise, they will be able to prescribe a visit to the MMFA.可知,19世纪,体育运动被认为对身体有害,而现在医生给病人开运动处方。再根据I am convinced that in the 21st century, culture will be what phy
35、sical activity was for health in the 20th century.可知,在21世纪,文化将成为20世纪体育运动对健康的意义,由此推知,疾病治疗观念随着时间的推移而改变,故C项正确。【11题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文,特别是根据最后一段中的culture will be what physical activity was for health in the 20th century可知,在21世纪,文化活动将像20世纪体育运动对健康的意义那样提升人们的健康,故D项正确。【点睛】说明文的主旨大意题难度较大,需要被选选项高度概括出全文内容,例如本篇第4题,文章第一
36、段引出参观博物馆的话题,第二段说医生很快就会开参观博物馆的处方来治疗某些疾病,最后一段又说在21世纪,文化将像20世纪体育运动对健康的意义那样提升人们的健康,由此可知本文主要讲的就是文化活动能够促进健康。DBack in 1988, Red Delicious made up 70 to 80 percent of the domestic apple market. Over the years, farmers sold a lot of them because they looked great. But they had a floury texture (质地), and peop

By 1994, threatened by varieties from Japan and New Zealand, the U.S. apple industry and Washington State University agreed that we had to grow our own.First, we cross-pollinated(授粉) existing apples: Collect pollen from on
38、e flower, put it on the tip of a pencil eraser, and rub it into another. We crossed dozens of crisp, tasty varieties such as Gala, Fuji, and Pink Lady. But the best breed came out of Honey Crisp and Enterprise parents. We grew the cross-bred seeds into 5-foot trees, grafted those to rootstocks(根茎) t
39、o make them start producing quickly, and planted them in evaluation gardens. A few years later, they fruitedand we began tasting.So I would walk down long rows of hundreds and thousands of trees, and when I found an attractive fruit, Id bite, chew, spit it out. Most were terrible, but when I found o
40、ne with good texture and taste, Id pick 10 or 20 of them. Then I put them in cold storage to see how they would hold up after a few months. After that, three or four researchers sat down and tasted every apple. We checked acidity and sugar levels, which can break down over time, and tested firmness
41、and crispness using instruments that measure pressure and cell breakdown.When we found exactly what we wanted, we planted and tested them all over again. Eventually, we ended up with the Cosmic Crisp. It can spend nine to 12 months in storage, and stay crisp, firm, juicy and sweet.12. What does the
42、author mainly tell us?A. Why Red Delicious sells best.B. How good-texture apples are grown.C. Why cross-pollinated apples taste nice.D. How a new variety of apple comes into being.13. How has the Cosmic Crisp been developed?A. By testing acidity and sugar.B. By cross-breeding with good varieties.C.
43、By selecting fine fruits.D. By evaluating the quality.14. Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “grafted” in Para 2?A. Applied.B. Rubbed.C. Attached.D. Changed.15. What can we learn from the text?A. The cross-pollinated apple seeds take a few years to grow.B. Cosmic Crisp has a long
44、er storage life and better quality.C. Cosmic Crisp is mainly bred from Gala and Fuji.D. The quality of apple lies in its acidity and sugar.【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一种新型苹果宇宙脆的培育过程和特点。【12题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章内容,特别是第一段中的“By 1994, threatened by varieties from Japan and New Zealand, the U.
45、S. apple industry and Washington State University agreed that we had to grow our own.”及最后一段中的“Eventually, we ended up with the Cosmic Crisp.”可知,美国苹果产业培育出一种新型苹果宇宙脆来应对外来苹果的威胁,本文介绍的就是宇宙脆的培育过程,故D项正确。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段的介绍可知,宇宙脆是通过嫁接的方法培育出来的,故B项正确。【14题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“those to rootstocks to make them star
46、t producing quickly”可知,我们让杂交的种子长成5英尺高的小树,然后把它们嫁接到根茎上让它们快点结果,由此可知画线词词义为“嫁接、连接”,故C项正确。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It can spend nine to 12 months in storage, and stay crisp, firm, juicy and sweet.”可知,宇宙脆可以贮存9-12个月,并且香脆多汁,也就是贮存时间更长,口感更好,故B项正确。【点睛】科普类说明文的词义猜测题难度较大,有时需要根据上下文和常识相结合的方法来猜测词义,例如本篇第3题,根据常识可知嫁接是农业种植的
47、常用技术,再结合画线词后的“those to rootstocks to make them start producing quickly”可知,我们让杂交的种子长成5英尺高的小树,然后把它们嫁接到根茎上让它们快点结果,由此可知画线词词义为“嫁接、连接”。第二节根据短文内容, 从段问候的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Have you ever wondered how the trainers at Sea World get the 19,000-pound whale to jump 22 feet out of water and perform trick
48、s? They get that whale to go over a rope farther out of the water than most of us can imagine. _16_.So how do the trainers at Sea World do it? The first thing they do is reinforce(强化) the behavior that they want repeated - in this case, to get the whale to go over the rope._17_, in a position where
49、the whale cant help but do whats expected of it. Every time the whale goes over the rope, its given positive reinforcement and gets fed with fish. But what happened when the whale goes under the rope? Nothing no criticism, no warning and no feedback. _18_.Positive reinforcement is the key of that si
50、mple principle that produces such splendid results. And as the whale begins to go over the rope more often than under, the trainers begin to raise the rope. It must be raised slowly enough so that the whale doesnt starve._19_. Make a big deal out of the good and little stuff that we want consistentl
51、y. Secondly, under-criticize. People know they need help when they mess up. _20_, people will not forget the event and usually will not repeat it.So we need to set up the circumstances so that people cant fail. Over-celebrate, under-criticizeand know how far to raise the rope.A. This is a great chal
52、lengeB. And the whale stays right where it isC. If we figure out a way to motivate the whaleD. They start with the rope below the surface of the waterE. If we under-criticize, punish and discipline less than expectedF. Whales are taught that their negative behavior wont be acknowledgedG. The simple
53、lesson to be learned from the whale trainers is to over-celebrate【答案】16. A 17. D 18. F 19. G 20. E【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,用训练员训练鲸鱼的例子告诉我们要营造一个好的环境,让人们可能少地面对失败,就如大加赞赏、不作批评。【16题详解】根据本空前的“Have you ever wondered how the trainers at Sea World get the 19,000-pound whale to jump 22 feet out of water and perform
54、 tricks?”可知,你想过海洋世界的训练员是如何让一头重达19,000磅的鲸鱼跳出水面22英尺和表演特技的么?此处承接上文,说的是这并不是简单的事情,故A项(这是一个巨大的挑战)符合语境。【17题详解】根据本空前的“The first thing they do is reinforce the behavior that they want repeated - in this case, to get the whale to go over the rope.”可知,他们做的第一件事就是强化他们想要重复的行为在这种情况下,让鲸鱼越过绳索,此处承接上文,讲的还是关于绳索的话题,故D项(
55、他们从水面以下的绳索开始)符合语境。【18题详解】根据本空前的“But what happened when the whale goes under the rope? Nothing no criticism, no warning and no feedback.”可知,鲸鱼钻到绳索下面会发生什么呢?没有批评,没有警告,也没有反馈,此处解释没有批评,没有警告,也没有反馈的原因,故F项(因为我们不可能教会鲸鱼承认它们的错误)符合语境。【19题详解】根据本空后的“Make a big deal out of the good and little stuff that we want con
56、sistently.”可知,让它们多点成功,偶尔有点小失败,故G项(从鲸鱼训练员那里学会的最简单的道理就是大加赞赏)符合语境。【20题详解】根据本空后的“people will not forget the event and usually will not repeat it”可知,人们通常不会忘记这件事,通常也不会再犯相同的错误,故E项(如果我们没有过多给予他们预期的批评、惩罚和职责时)符合语境。【点睛】本篇七选五的难度在于语言不能按字面意思理解,本文以训练员训练鲸鱼为例告诉我们要营造一个好的环境大加赞赏、不作批评,让人们可能少地面对失败。本篇第4题难度最大,关键在于对“Make a b
57、ig deal out of the good and little stuff that we want consistently.”这句话的理解,这句话的字面意思是对我们希望不断出现的小事要打架吹捧,而在这里应该理解为让它们多点成功,偶尔有点小失败,强调赞赏的作用,所以此处是说从鲸鱼训练员那里学会的最简单的道理就是大加赞赏。第三部分 语言知识运用第一节 完形填空阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Growing up in the 1960s, I was taught from an early age to s

91、汤姆因为打破了格林夫人家的窗户而正受到了母亲的惩罚。根据题干要求改为被动语态,题干中Toms mother is punishing him 可知为现在进行时,改为被动语态为现在进行时的被动语态,构成为“be + being+过去分词”,主语为Tom,谓语动词应用单数。故填is being punished。第四部分 写作第一节 短文改错61. 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(),并在其下面写出该加的词。删除:把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改:在
