11、ardening Project【语篇解读】作者曾经有一次没有给乞丐钱，回去以后心里一直不安，在工作的时候突然想到通过一项计划可以帮助饥饿的人。这一计划得到了全国很多人的支持和实践，这让作者对自己的行为不再感到愧疚。1A细节理解题。根据第一段中“Id read the signs：Dont give money to beggars.”可知，作者以前看到过这样的提醒，所以才拒绝乞丐的请求。故选A项，意为“他以前被提醒不要那么做”。2D词义猜测题。根据画线短语后面的描述可知，很多人对作者的这个想法给予了积极的响应，由此推断出，took off表示“大受欢迎；流行；成功”。A项中该短语表示“起飞”
12、；B项中该短语表示“减少”；C项中该短语表示“急忙离开”；D项中该短语表示“成功”。故选D项。3B细节理解题。根据第五段第二句“Out of the blue(突然地)，I came up with an idea.”和最后一句“Why not try to get all my readers to”可知，作者想到一个项目来帮助那些饥饿的人。故选B项。4A主旨大意题。本文讲述作者为了帮助饥饿的人发起了一项Plant a Row for the Hungry的活动，得到了广泛的支持，所以以此作为文章的标题最合适。虽然B项和C项都提到了帮助，但是B项中的Beggars和C项中的Others与文中
13、的the Hungry不符；D项没有体现帮助挨饿的人的信息。故选A项。BDelaney Brown has leukemia (白血病) and only has a few days to live, so her mum Jennifer asked Facebook friends to make the eightyearold girls wish to hear carols (颂歌) come true.Thousands of people gathered outside the dying girls house to sing her Christmas carols a

21、girls wishes.【语篇解读】数千人齐聚在一名患白血病的8岁女孩家外，为她唱圣诞颂歌。5D推理判断题。根据第一段内容可推知，作者描述上千人为实现一个患病小女孩的愿望而唱颂歌这一场景，很好地诠释了人性的温暖。6D推理判断题。由第三段可知，专门负责脸书发布消息的团队发布了一张面带笑容、竖起大拇指的德莱尼的照片，可见德莱尼听到这么多人为她唱歌感到很开心。7D主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了人们为身患白血病的女孩德莱尼唱圣诞颂歌，流行歌星与之交谈的事，这些都是人们为实现女孩愿望所做的努力。CAs with any house guests, indoor plants require
22、a certain amount of basic, regular attention if they are going to feel at home. The first consideration when purchasing plants is to make reasonably sure that they are suitable for the condition in which they are going to be housed. A general rule for most plants being brought indoors for the first
23、time is to ensure that they have reasonable temperature of not less than 60 degrees Fahrenheit, a position out of cold air, safe from pets and not exposed to strong sunlight. Plants love company. When plants are growing together, they create an atmosphere of damp around themselves which is far more

26、mall amount of water at regular intervalsit is much better to wet the soil right through the pot in one go and then to allow it to dry noticeably before giving it a further watering. The majority of indoor plants will be in active growth from March until October, and during this time, the establishe
27、d ones will benefit from regular feeding. This may mean feeding with a weak liquid fertilizer at each watering or at intervals of a week or ten days with fertilizer at a standard strength. It is important, however, to ensure that plants are not fed when growth is inactive, when the soil in the pot i

DConsider further watering in dry weather. 【语篇解读】本文主要介绍种植室内植物需要注意的一些事项。8D段落大意题。分析第二段的内容，不难看出，此段主要讲述的是种植室内植物的时候所需要的室内温度、湿度等自然环境，故D选项的描述准确。9B细节理解题。根据文章中第三段中的“When plants are growing together, they create an atmosphere of damp around themselves whi
31、ch is far more beneficial than hot dry conditions”可知，B选项的描述与此一致。10A细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“Cold slightly warm water is therefore the answer”可知，浇花的时候需要稍温的水。故选A。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后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。Snow falls in the Earths extreme North and South throughout the year._11_Snow is even k

56、短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。While contact between adolescents (between the ages of fifteen and nineteen) and their peers (同龄人) is a universal characteristic of all cultures， the nature and the degree of such contact vary a great deal. In American contemporary society， adolescents spend much more time with
57、 their peers than with younger children or adults.This pattern of age segregation(隔离) in American society did not become usual until the beginning of the industrialized society. Changes in the workplace separated children from adults， with adults working and children attending school. The dramatic i
58、ncrease of mothers in the workplace has further contributed to the reduction in the amount of time adolescents spend with adults. School reforms during the nineteenth century， which resulted in agesegregated schools and grades， have reduced the amount of time adolescents spend with younger children.
59、 Finally， the changes in population are considered a factor that may have contributed to the emergence of adolescent peer culture. From 1955 to 1975， the adolescent population increased dramatically， from 11 percent to 20.9 percent. This increase in the number of adolescents might be a contributing
60、factor to the increase in adolescent peer culture in terms of growth in size as well as in terms of its impact on societys other cultures(adults， younger children).Research supports the view that adolescents spend a great deal of time with their peers. Reed Larson and his colleagues examined adolesc
61、ents daily activities and found that they spend more time talking to their friends than engaging in any other activity. In a typical week， high school students will spend twice as much time with their peers as with adults. This gradual withdrawal from adults begins in early adolescence. In sixth gra
62、de， adults (excluding parents) account for only 25 percent of adolescent social networks. Another important characteristic of adolescent peer culture is its increasingly autonomous (自治的) function. While childhood peer groups are conducted under the close supervision of parents， adolescent peer group
63、s typically make an effort to escape adult supervision and usually succeed in doing so.【答案】One possible version：Adolescents peer culture is a universal phenomenon and for American adolescents more time is spent with peers than with younger children or adults (要点1). Firstly， changes in the workplace
64、reduce the amount of time adolescents spend with their parents (要点2). School reforms also result in less time spent with younger children(要点3). Additionally， the increase in the adolescent population is another contributing factor(要点4). A research shows adolescents gradual separation from adults starts in their early adolescence when they manage to escape adult supervision(要点5).
