Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almo
9、st overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness (荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went t
10、here for gold. They travelled over snowcovered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning. An avalanche (雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the re
11、wards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that
12、 Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go to see where the Canadian gold ru

14、y, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million”可推知，由于纽约市地处哈德逊河入海口，其优越的地理位置吸引了早期的定居者。C选项“Its geographical position”正确。A选项“它的贸易文化”，B选项“它的少量人口”，D选项“它的有利气候”在文中均无信息支撑。2What do we know about those who firs
15、t dug for gold in Dawson?ATwothirds of them stayed there.BOne out of five people got rich.CAlmost everyone gave up.DHalf of them died.答案与解析：B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich”可知，在最先的两万淘金者中，有4 000人变得富有了，换言之，即有五分之一的人(One out of five people)变得富有了，故答案为B。A项属无中生有，文中
16、并未提及最先到达道森的20,000人中有三分之二的人留在了那里；C项说几乎大家都放弃了，这与下文描述的五分之一的人变得富有矛盾；文中第二段提到在前往道森的途中，雪崩造成了63人死亡，并非是10,000人死亡，故D项错误。3What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?AThey found the city too crowded.BThey wanted to try their luck elsewhere.CThere were unable to stand the winter.DThey were short of
17、 food.答案与解析：B细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But soon. and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come”可知，当道森的黄金都被发掘后，人们听说在阿拉斯加发现了新的金矿，他们便很快离开道森了。由此可推知，他们是想去阿拉斯加碰碰运气。A项属偷换概念，文中说的是“The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settlin
18、g down”(这个城市到处都是感到失望且无心定居下来的人们)。C项属无中生有，文中并未说他们不能忍受这里的冬季。D项属曲解文意，文章提到“Necessities like food and wood were very expensive”(诸如食品和木材这样的生活必需品非常昂贵)，并非说他们缺少食品。4What is the text mainly about?AThe rise and fall of a city.BThe gold rush in Canada.CJourneys into the wilderness.DTourism in Dawson.答案与解析：A主旨大意题。
19、本文主要以道森为例，讲述了城市的兴衰，故A项正确。B项“加拿大淘金热”，以偏概全；C项“荒野之旅”，曲解文意；D项“道森的旅游业”，不符合文意。.完形填空Mrs. Green was over seventies, but she still drove her old car like a woman half her age.

24、iving offence.”是她为之骄傲的具体内容，即与要填入的名词为同位关系，故用fact(事实)。action“行动”；skill“技能”；age“年龄”，都不能与that从句形成同位语。2A.about BonCto Dfor答案与解析：D根据句意“她很自豪35年来从来没有因为违反交通法规而受到惩罚。”punish sb.for sth.“由于某事而惩罚某人”。3A.kept BwonCmissed Dlost答案与解析：D结合上文知道她始终保持着35年来没违规的纪录，但下文说到她闯了红灯，因此说那天她差点丢了这个纪录。lose“丢掉”，符合句意。keep a record“保持纪录”
25、。4A.watched BchasedCfollowed Dstopped答案与解析：C警车跟在她后面，用followed，而watched不妥，因为主语是警车，而不是人。chase“追赶”，根据上下文可知动作发生在警察发现她闯红灯之前，警车在此之前没有理由追赶她或阻拦(stop)她。5A.pass BgoCrun Drush答案与解析：A根据下文的“without stopping”可知她“pass a red light”(闯红灯)，如用go，则要用go by。6A.sure BableCcertain Dlike答案与解析：C此处缺少表语形容词，因为主语为it，相当于“it is cer
26、tain that”句式，故用certain，不用sure，able，因为sure，able常以人作主语；like一般不用于这一句式。7A.police BjudgeCofficer Dcaptain答案与解析：B根据下文第三段的内容可知对她的行为及年龄做出评论的是the judge，故选B项。8A.so BveryCtoo Dquite答案与解析：C根据句意“她年纪太大了不能再开车了”可知这里是too.to.结构，表示“太而不能”。9A.cause BreasonCmatter Dtrouble答案与解析：Breason是说明某事或某现象的理由，而cause则指火灾、水灾或事故的起因。此处在
27、考查固定句式：the reason why.is that.“的原因是”。10A.light BlampCsign Done答案与解析：A根据上文可知她没有在红灯时停下来。“红灯”用red light。11A.with BbecauseCfor Dof答案与解析：A根据句意“由于年龄老了，她的视力不行了。”可知选表示原因的介词，解释引起前面形容词weak的原因要用介词with，此处相当于because of。12A.speaking BsayingCtalking Dtelling答案与解析：B在宾语从句中what很显然作的是动词的宾语，可排除speak，因为讲某种语言时它才是及物动词；强调说
28、话的内容用say。13A.holding BgettingCcarrying Dbringing答案与解析：C根据句意可知她拿出了随身携带的手提包。表示随身携带，不强调方向性，用carry，而bring则表示由远往近带来。14A.took BbroughtCpicked Dchose答案与解析：D此处是挑了一根小眼的针，用took，brought和picked都要加up或out。15A.almost BhardlyCsuccessfully Dsuccessful答案与解析：C从下文内容来看。老太太显然是成功了。修饰动词用副词。16A.both BallCneither Deither答案与解
29、析：A根据句意可知此处指针和线两者，所以用both。17A.time BturnCchance Djob答案与解析：Bits your turn表示“轮到你了”。很显然老太太想让法官穿针来证明她眼神很好。18A.thread BglassesCneedles Dneedle答案与解析：D根据后面说他要“thread it”，可知他要把线穿过针眼。刚谈过针线之事。19A.dismissed BpassedCsettled Dstudied答案与解析：A根据法官和老太太穿针的对比，证明了法官的结论是错误的，所以法官的指控是错误的，故老太太的案子被取消了。be dismissed“被取消了”。20A
30、.was BkeptCseemed Dremained答案与解析：D根据文章内容可知老太太的35年未违规的纪录仍然没被打破。remained“依然是”，表示过去是这样，现在仍然保持这一状态。seemed语气不够肯定；B项若改为“was kept”才对。.语法填空Since an early age, I have developed an interest in art.
