52、, Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that, oddly, had not troubled anyone before: he couldnt find the parks volcano. It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in nature thats what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features. But Christiansen couldnt
53、 find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.Most of us, when we talk about volcanoes, think of the classic cone(圆锥体) shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro, which are created when erupting magma(岩浆) piles up. These can form remarkably quickly. In 1943, a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a s
54、mall part of his land. In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high. Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across. Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth, all but a few hundred of them ex
55、tinct. There is, however, a second less known type of volcano that doesnt involve mountain building. These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack, leaving behind a vast hole, the caldera. Yellowstone obviously was of this second type, but Christiansen couldnt find the
56、caldera anywhere.Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors centers. As soon as Ch
57、ristiansen saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera: almost the whole park2.2 million acreswas caldera. The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles acrossmuch too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up w
58、ith a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.38. What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone?A. Its complicated geographical features.B. Its ever-lasting influence on tourism.C. The mysterious history of the park.D. The exact location of the volcano.39. What does th
59、e second paragraph mainly talk about?A. The shapes of volcanoes.B. The impacts of volcanoes.C. The activities of volcanoes.D. The heights of volcanoes.40. What does the underlined word “blow-up” in the last paragraph most probably mean?A. Hot-air balloon.B. Digital camera.C. Big photograph.D. Birds
60、view.【答案】38. D 39. A 40. C【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了二十世纪六十年代Bob Christiansen在研究黄石公园的火山历史时,奇怪地发现到处看不到火山的影子,原来,这儿的火山并不是像我们大部分人想象的那种圆锥体形状的高耸的样子,而是一个巨大的洞,这个洞太大了以至于从地面上的任何地方都看不见。【38题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句But Christiansen couldnt find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.可知,他困惑的是在黄石公园找不到火山。故选D。【39题详解】主旨大意题。本段讲述了两种形状的火山,一种
61、是通常人们所理解的由火山岩浆堆积形成的圆锥体,还有一种极具爆发力的火山,它们会在一个大裂缝中爆裂,留下一个巨大的洞,故选A。【40题详解】词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might
62、make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors centers.可知,美国国家航空航天局为测试一些新的高海拔照相机而拍摄了黄石公园的照片。一位深思熟虑的官员把其中的一些照片副本转交给了公园管理部门,认为他们可能会将其放大以供一个游客中心展示。根据常识可知,游客中心的照片一般都很大,以吸引游客的注意,故此处意为“将照片放大”,选C。CWho cares if people think wrongly that the internet has had more important influences than the washing machine? W
63、hy does it matter that people are more impressed by the most recent changes?It would not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of peoples opinions. However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarce resources.The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communicatio
64、n Technology) revolution, represented by the internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so “yesterday” that they should try to live on ideas. This belief in “post-industrial society” has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector(制造业), with negative
65、consequences for their economies.Even more worryingly, the fascination with the internet by people in rich countries has moved the international community to worry about the “digital divide” between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies and individuals to donate money to
66、developing countries to buy computer equipment and internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most.

As a result,
69、in the last twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever change is happening today is the result of great technological progress, going against which will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world, many governments have put an end to some of the very nece
70、ssary regulations on cross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.Understanding technological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies, both at the national and the international levels, and for making the right career choices at the individual level.
71、However, our fascination with the latest, and our under valuation of what has already become common, can, and has, led us in all sorts of wrong directions.41. Misjudgments on the influences of new technology can lead to _.A. a lack of confidence in technologyB. a slow progress in technologyC. a conf

77、ng the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternative uses of their money.可知,与其给那些贫困地区孩子笔记本电脑或者建网络中心,还不如给钱打井,铺电网或者生产他们买得起的洗衣机,这些东西更能改善他们的生活。作者不是说这些东西一定更重要,但是很多捐赠者没有仔细考虑捐赠的东西的长期成本,因此作者建议捐赠者要考虑接受捐赠的人的实际情况,而不是一味地追求信息化,故选A。【43题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段内容可知,对新东西的迷恋让人们认为如今通讯技术和交通的变革让我们生活在一个无国界的世界,正是认为我们生活在这样一个
78、世界,很多政府取消了关于跨国界的资本、劳动力以及商品流动的法律法规,故选B。【44题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段The fascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology) revolution, represented by the Internet, has made some rich countries wrongly conclude that making things is so yesterday that they should try to live on ideas. This belief
79、in post-industrial society has led those countries to neglect their manufacturing sector(制造业) with negative consequences for their economies.可知,对互联网呈现的通讯技术变革的迷恋让很多富裕国家做出一个错误的结论,他们认为制造产品已经过时了,他们应该靠创意生活,因而忽略了制造业,从而对经济造成不利影响,故推知传统的技术依然有它的地位,新兴的信息技术不能取代它们,故选B。DOld problem,new approachesWhile clean energ
80、y is increasingly used in our daily life,global warming will continue for some decades after CO2 emissions (排放) peak. So even if emissions were to begin to decrease today,we would still face the challenge of adapting to climate change. Here I will stress some smarter and more creative examples of cl
81、imate adaptation.When it comes to adaptation,it is important to understand that climate change is a process. We are therefore not talking about adapting to a new standard,but to a constantly shifting set of conditions. This is why, in part at least,the US National Climate Assessment says that:“There
82、 is no onesize fits all adaptation.” Nevertheless,there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost.Around the world, people are adapting in surprising ways,especially in some poor countries. Floods have become more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades. Mohammed Rezwan saw opp
83、ortunity where others saw only disaster. His notforprofit organization runs 100 river boats that serve as floating libraries,schools,and health clinics,and are equipped with solar panels and other communicating facilities. Rezwan is creating floating connectivity(连接) to replace flooded roads and hig
84、hways. But he is also working at a far more fundamental level:his staff show people how to make floating gardens and fish ponds to prevent starvation during the wet season.Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken. Chewang Norphel lives in a mountainous region in India, where h
85、e is known as the Ice Man. The loss of glaciers (冰川) there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agriculture. Without the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops. Norphels inspiration came from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was no
86、t needed. He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring. His fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigation(灌溉) water. Having created nine such ice reserves, Norphel calculates that he has stored about 200,000m3 of water. Climate change is a contin
87、uing process, so Norphels ice reserves will not last forever. Warming will overtake them. But he is providing a few years during which the farmers will, perhaps, be able to find other means of adapting.Increasing Earths reflectiveness can cool the planet. In southern Spain the sudden increase of gre
88、enhouses (which reflect light back to space) has changed the warming trend locally, and actually cooled the region. While Spain as a whole is heating up quickly, temperatures near the greenhouses have decreased. This example should act as an inspiration for all cities. By painting buildings white, c

The outcome is still far from
90、 clear. But the World Bank has included the project on its list of “100 ideas to save the planet”More ordinary forms of adaptation are happening everywhere. A friend of mine owns an area of land in western Victoria. Over five generations the land has been too wet for cropping. But during the past de
91、cade declining rainfall has allowed him to plant highly profitable crops. Farmers in many countries are also adapting like thiseither by growing new produce or by growing the same things differently. This is common sense. But some suggestions for adapting are not. When the polluting industries argue
92、 that weve lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt, its a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual.Human beings will continue to adapt to the changing climate in both ordinary and astonishing ways. But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely
93、 to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution. After all, if we adapt in that way, we may avoid the need to change in so many others.45. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 implies _A. adaptation is an everchanging processB. the cost of adaptation varies with timeC. global warming affect

99、Rezwan项目的组织者充分利用了洪水的灾难,故选C项。【47题详解】A细节理解题。根据第四段The loss of glaciers(冰川)there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agricultureNorphels inspiration come from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needed. He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze
100、, and was stored until the spring.可知,“冰人”的减轻全球变暖的影响的方法是将冰储存起来,以备春天用,故选A项。而这种方法并没有改变冰川的融化和灌溉的时间,故排除B、C和D项。【48题详解】D细节理解题。根据第五段Increasing Earths reflectiveness can cool the planet. By painting buildings white, cities may slow down the warming process.以及第六段painting the entire mountain peak white in the

102、 for business as usual.以及最后一段But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution.可知,目前一些污染工业说他们已经失去了对碳污染的控制,但作者认为,这个说辞是“胡说”,故可直接选择与“失去控制、适当妥协”意义相反的选项,即与污染积极斗争,以减少碳排放,防止工业污染中二氧化碳的排放,故选D项。【50题详解】B推理判断题。根据最后两句But the most sensible form of adaptat
103、ion is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution. After all, if we adapt in the way, we may avoid the need to change in so many others.可知,作者认为最合理的应对全球变暖的方法是以减少二氧化碳的排放,此举将避免在其他很多方面改变。故选B项。第四部分:任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。
104、每个空格只填一个单词。The Cost of ThinkingDespite their many differences, all human beings share several defining characteristics, such as large brains and the ability to walk upright on two legs.The first unique human characteristic is that humans have extraordinarily large brains compared with other animals.
105、 It seems obvious that evolution should select for larger brains. Mammals(哺乳动物) weighing sixty kilograms have an average brain size of 200 cm2. Modern man has a brain averaging 1200-1400 cm2. We are so fond of our high intelligence that we assume that when it comes to brain power, more must be bette
106、r. Unfortunately, that is not the case.The fact is that a huge brain is a huge drainconsumption of energyon the body. Its not easy to carry around, especially when boxed inside a massive skull(倾骨). Its even harder to provide energy. In modern man, the brain accounts for about 2-3% of total body weig
107、ht, but it consumes 25% of the bodys energy when the body is at rest. By comparison, the brains of apes(类人猿) require only 8% of rest-time energy. Early humans paid for their large brains in two ways. Firstly, they spent more time in search of food. Secondly, their muscles grew smaller and weaker. It
108、s hardly an obvious conclusion that this is a good way to survive. A chimpanzee(黑猩猩) cant win an argument with a modern man, but it can tear the man apart like a rag doll.Another unique human characteristic is that we walk upright. Standing up, its easier to find food or enemies. In addition, their
109、arms that are unnecessary for moving around are freed for other purposes, like throwing stones or signaling. As a result, humans can perform very complex tasks with their hands.Yet walking upright has its disadvantage. The bone structure of our ancestors developed for millions of years to support a
110、creature that walked on all fours and has a relatively small head. Adjusting to an upright position was quite a challenge, especially when the bones had to support an extra-large skull. Humankind paid for its broad vision and skillful hands backaches and painful necks.We assume that a large brain ma
111、kes huge advantages. It seems obvious that these have made humankind the most powerful animal on earth. But humans enjoyed all of these advantages for a full 2 million years during which they remained weak and marginal creatures. Thus humans who lived a million years ago, despite their big brains an
112、d sharp stone tools, lived in constant fear of meat-eating animals.The Cost of ThinkingIntroduction Large brains for their bodies and the ability to walk upright are two _51_ of human beings.The _52_ of large human brains The larger brains may not be better because of the cost. The big brains make i

Large human brains consume more food, and weaken muscles.The _54_ of walking upright Walking upright makes it easy to find food or _55_ against enemies. Freed hands can serve s

116、仍然使人类成为地球上最强大的动物。【51题详解】考查信息归纳。根据第一段all human beings share several defining characteristics, such as large brains and the ability to walk upright on two legs.可知,大脑袋和双腿直立行走的能力是人类共有的特点(characteristics)。故填characteristics。【52题详解】考查信息归纳。72题就是对第三段内容的总结。第三段主要叙述了人类的大脑长得比较大的缺点。因此本空格填写disadvantages。【53题详解】考查信
117、息来源。根据第三段中的The fact is that a huge brain is a huge drainconsumption of energyon the body. Its not easy to carry around, especially when boxed inside a massive skull(倾骨). Its even harder to provide energy. In modern man, the brain accounts for about 2-3% of total body weight, but it consumes 25% of t
118、he bodys energy when the body is at rest.可知,人类巨大的大脑是一个巨大的能量消耗。当身体处于休息时,大脑要消耗25%的身体能量。相比之下,类人猿的大脑只需要8%的休息时间能量。人类与动物相比,动物需要的能量(energy)要比人类少。故填energy。【54题详解】考查信息归纳。分析空后的75-78小题所在的第五段和第六段的内容可知,此部分主要叙述了直立行走对人类的影响。故填impact(s)。【55题详解】考查信息转换。根据第五段的第一句Another unique human characteristic is that we walk uprig
119、ht. Standing up, its easier to find food or enemies.可知,另一个独特的人类特征是我们直立行走。站起来更容易找到食物或发现敌人。发现敌人就是为了防御敌人。因为or为连词,在此句中连结两个动词短语,故空格填动词。“guard against”为固定搭配,意为“防御”,故本空填写guard。【56题详解】考查信息查找。根据第五段中的their arms that are unnecessary for moving around are freed for other purposes, like throwing stones or signal
120、ing. As a result, humans can perform very complex tasks with their hands.可知,解放了的双手可以用于做其它的事,即有其它的目的。故填other。【57题详解】考查信息归纳。根据第五段Yet walking upright has its disadvantage. The bone structure of our ancestors developed for millions of years to support a creature that walked on all fours and has a relati
121、vely small head. Adjusting to an upright position was quite a challenge, especially when the bones had to support an extra-large skull.可知,直立行走也有缺点。我们祖先进化了上百亿年,骼也只能支撑四肢行走和有一个相对较小的头。直立行走对人类的骨架是一个相当大的挑战,限制了人的头脑的大小。故本空填limits。【58题详解】考查信息转换。根据第六段Humankind paid for its broad vision and skillful hands back
122、aches and painful necks.可知,直立对人类的骨架是一个相当大的挑战,人类为其广阔的视野和灵巧的双手付出了代价,换来的是腰酸背痛和脖子疼痛。由此得出,直立导致身体方面的(physical)痛苦,故填physical。【59题详解】考查信息归纳。根据最后一段We assume that a large brain makes huge advantages. It seems obvious that these have made humankind the most powerful animal on earth.可知,我们假设一个大脑袋会带来巨大的优势。很明显,这些使
123、人类成为地球上最强大的动物。由此可推断出人类的大脑比其他动物大,在智力方面人类比其他动物更聪明,即在智力方面击败了(beat)其他动物。故本空填beat。【60题详解】考查信息查找。根据最后一段But humans enjoyed all of these advantages for a full 2 million years during which they remained weak and marginal creatures. Thus humans who lived a million years ago, despite their big brains and sharp
124、 stone tools, lived in constant fear of meat-eating animals.可知,尽管人类享受着所有这些优势,但也是弱小的生物。因此尽管拥有巨大的大脑和锋利的石器,但一百万年前的人类也时常生活在对食肉动物的恐惧中。因为空前是系动词,故本空要填形容词(afraid/fearful)可知,此处要填名词,故填fearful/afraid。第五部分:书面表达(满分 25分)61.请阅读下面文字,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。Yuan Longping, 90, known as the “father of hybrid rice”,plays
