50、as been the experience of Peter Ryan of the University of Cape Town, in South Africa. Since 1984 Dr. Ryan has been visiting Inaccessible, recording the litter stranded on the islands beaches. This week, he has published the results.Though Inaccessible is indeed remote, the nature of oceanic circulat
51、ion means that this is exactly the sort of place where floating rubbish tends to accumulate.Dr. Ryan and his colleagues focused on one particular class of litter: bottles. Their definition of a bottle included jars and containers, and things made of metal, glass or polymer. Most, though, were of pol

That enabled Dr. Ryan to analyze the history of oceanic littering. He analyzed the proportions of bottles from various geographical sou
53、rces. In 1989 the preponderance (优势) of them (67%) was South American. Twenty years later, in 2009, bottles made in Asia contributed more or less equally (44%) with South American ones (41%). By 2018 the overwhelming (压倒性的) majority (74%) were Asian.This geographical shift speaks volumes. The first
54、sample suggests most litter arriving on Inaccessible had been washed off the land or dropped from coastal shipping South America being a relatively nearby continent. The other two, with their rising proportions of rubbish from Asia, which is too far from the island for it to have floated there, stro
55、ngly suggest it was crews empties being flung from ships. Such littering is banned which, ironically, came into force in 1989. But evidently a lot of ships captains do not care. They permit the dumping of rubbish over the side, regardless.12. What leads to litter gathering on Inaccessible Island?A.
56、The natural phenomenon of ocean currents.B. Too many peoples activities on the island.C. The litters floating around the island.D. The islands remote location.13. Why does Dr. Ryan choose bottles as subjects?A. It is easy to analyze them.B. It is possible to figure out their sources.C. There are sta

59、而发现这一原因的,他们发现岛上的垃圾都是从陆地上被冲走的,或者是从沿海的船只上扔下的。12题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段Though Inaccessible is indeed remote, the nature of oceanic circulation means that this is exactly the sort of place where floating rubbish tends to accumulate.可知,虽然Inaccessible岛的确很遥远,但海洋环流的性质意味着这里正是漂浮垃圾容易堆积的地方。由此可知,洋流的自然现象导致了Inaccessible岛的
60、垃圾堆积。故选A。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段中A particular advantage of picking bottles to investigate is that they are often stamped with their country of manufacture.可知,挑选瓶子进行调查的一个特别优点是,它们通常都印有生产国家的标志。由此可知,Ryan博士选择瓶子作为实验对象是因为这样可能可以弄清瓶子的来源。故选B。【14题详解】词义猜测题。根据上文The other two, with their rising proportions of rubbish
61、from Asia, which is too far from the island for it to have floated there, strongly suggest it was crews empties being可知,另外两艘船中,来自亚洲的垃圾越来越多,因为亚洲离该岛太远,不可能漂浮在岛上,这有力地说明了这是船员从船上丢弃的空垃圾。由此可知,划线单词意思为“丢弃”。A. Cast away.丢弃;B. Given away.分发;C. Carried out.实施;D. Put out.熄灭。故选A。【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段Inaccessible Isla
62、nd is well named. It is an uninhabited rock in the South Atlantic ocean. Go there, though, and you will find its coast is covered with litter.可知,Inaccessible岛的名字很好。它是南大西洋的一块无人居住的岩石。然而,去那里,你会发现它的海岸到处都是垃圾。结合文章主要介绍了Inaccessible岛的名字很好。它是南大西洋的一块无人居住的岩石。然而,去那里,你会发现它的海岸到处都是垃圾。Peter Ryan和他的同事们的一项研究发现Inacces
63、sible岛上的垃圾堆积的原因是因为洋流导致的,文章还说明了他们是如何进行调查从而发现这一原因的,他们发现岛上的垃圾都是从陆地上被冲走的,或者是从沿海的船只上扔下的。由此可知,D选项“Inaccessible岛上的垃圾问题”最符合文章标题,故选D。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。In Stressful Times, Make Stress Work for YouThese are stressful times.

A【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一对吉尼斯世界纪录认证为在世的最长寿夫妇的日常点滴和生活故事,他们相互关心,心态乐观,生活简单又美好。【21题详解】考查副词词义辨析。句意:他们俩被吉尼斯世界纪录正式认证为地球上仍在世的最长寿夫妇。A. naturally自然地;B. officially正式地,官方地;C. individually私人地,个人地;D. normally正常地,通常地。根据句中Guinness World Records可知,他们获得的是
85、正式的官方认证,故选B。【22题详解】考查连词词义辨析。句意:约翰亨德森106岁了,夏洛特亨德森105岁了。A. so所以;B. but但是;C. as因为,由于,尽管,随着,正如;D. and和,与,然后。根据语境,连词前后两句内容并无因果、转折等各种关系,两者为各自独立的事实,宜用and作连接,故选D。【23题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意:这对夫妻在1934年,他们还是得克萨斯州大学的学生的时候遇见彼此,当时夏洛特正在那里学习,准备当一名教师,而约翰在那里踢足球。A. participants参与者;B. professors教授;C. students学生;D. players球员,队员
86、。根据下句Charlotte was studying to be a teacher可知,他们当时是学生身份,“John played football”不影响他本身是个学生的事实,而且夏洛特不是足球队员,故选C。【24题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意:约翰非常喜欢踢足球。A. fond喜欢的;B. sure确定的;C. afraid害怕的;D. tired劳累的。根据上下文可知,约翰一直在踢足球,十分喜欢,故选A。【25题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意:从2010年开始,他便坐拥在世的最年长前UT足球队员这一荣誉,而且他每年都参加比赛。A. qualification资格,条件;B. con
87、fidence信心;C. truth事实;D. distinction荣誉,特性,差别。在世的最年长前队员属于他的一个荣誉,而qualification一般是指通过学习考试取得的资格学历,或是因足够熟练,具备某项技能或经验而取得的资格,而文中此处语境强调其年长(oldest),且是前队员,A选项并不够恰当准确,故选D。【26题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意:从2010年开始,他便坐拥在世的最年长前UT足球队员这一荣誉,而且他每年都参加比赛。A. organizes组织;B. attends参加;C. sponsors赞助;D. appreciates欣赏。作为最年长队员,他每年都去打比赛(参加比

89、解】考查动词词义辨析,句意:据报道,养老院帮着为这对夫妇举办了周年纪念派对。A. deliver交付,发表,递送;B. find找到;C. show展示,演出,说明;D. throw投,抛,掷,举行(派对)。本题考查了动词的熟词生义,throw除了表示“扔”等意义之外,还可专门用于表示举行派对(throw a party),故选D。【30题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意:“到了我们这个岁数,节奏得稍微慢下来了,”约翰亨德森解释道。A. announced宣布,宣称;B. recommended推荐,建议;C. explained解释;D. complained抱怨。约翰的话前后有两处,后一处是对
90、前一处中所提“节奏慢下来”的解释,故选C。【31题详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意:我们过去常常乘船游览,但现在我们不得不松懈下来。A. (take it) seriously认真对待,当真;B. (take it) easy从容,松懈,不急;C. (take it) off 脱下(衣服);D. (take it) away拿走,带走东西。根据下文We like watching sports and talking about what were going to do及语境可知,约翰说他们现在节奏慢下来了,也就是对坐游艇游玩这些事没那么勤快了,松懈了许多,只有B符合语境,故选B。【32题详解】
91、考查名词词义辨析。句意:亨德森的外甥詹森弗里说他们夫妻俩的关系是他学习的楷模。他们真心相爱,并关心对方。A. relationship关系;B. behavior行为;C. career事业;D. concept概念。结合语境,此处谈及的是夫妇俩的美好关系,故选A。【33题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意:“他们并不会总在回忆过去,”弗里说。A. overlook忽略,远眺,宽恕;B. recall回想起,回忆;C. believe相信;D. see看见。下文提到,夫妇俩虽年事已高,但仍然是展望未来的姿态,而非不停回忆过去,故选B。【34题详解】考查代词词义辨析。句意:噢,要是现在能回到1952年
92、,那一切该是多好。A. something某事,某物;B. anything任何东西,任何事物;C. everything一切,万事;D. nothing没有什么。1952年他们正处于年轻气盛的人生时期,一切都是好的,故选C。【35题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意:相反,他们正一起为未来做计划。A. choices选择;B. children孩子;C. retirement退休;D. future未来。结合上文,夫妻俩不会处处抱怨,沉浸在过去的美好生活里,相反地,他们一起为未来做着计划。“未来”与“过去”相对,故选D。【36题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意:弗里注意到,当他的叔叔去UT踢球打比赛或
93、者外出见朋友的时候,夏洛特通常会打电话向他核实一下。A. cheating欺骗;B. inviting邀请;C. meeting面见,会见;D. making制作,交(朋友)。约翰的老年生活,要么是出去踢球,要么就是外出面见朋友(meet friends),外出交新朋友显然不符合此处语境,故选C。【37题详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意:弗里注意到,当他的叔叔去UT踢球打比赛或者外出见朋友的时候,夏洛特通常会打电话向他核实一下。A. pick up捡起,接机;B. care about担心,关心;C. wait for等待;D. check on核实,检查。结合引号内容,约翰出去之后,她不清楚他回
94、家的时间,所以打个电话过去核实一下,D符合语境。打电话过去肯定不是接机或是等待,且确认回家的时间,这属于“核实情况”更准确,而用“担心,关心”表述不准确。综上,故选D。【38题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意:至于长寿的秘诀,约翰亨德森把它归因于运动锻炼和拥有积极的生活态度。A. introduction介绍,引言;B. tendency趋势;C. secret秘诀;D. guide指南。根据后半句中的“运动锻炼”和“拥有积极的态度”可知,这应是他们俩的长寿秘诀(secret to their longevity),故选C。【39题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意:至于长寿的秘诀,约翰亨德森把它归因于
95、运动锻炼和拥有积极的生活态度。A. attitude态度;B. method方法;C. theory理论;D. comment评论。夫妇俩拥有的是积极的生活态度,故选A。【40题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意:接着他笑着补充道,“但是有些人认为这是因为我们从未生过孩子!”A. laugh笑;B. sigh叹气;C. nod点头;D. gesture姿势,手势。从约翰的话语内容,并结合语境可知他,此时正在调侃,故对应的神情应是“笑着说”,故选A。第二节 (共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)阅读下面材料,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。One of the workers i

99、sful 44. us 45. where 46. under 47. Situated 48. better 49. rights 50. coming【解析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述警力的快速干预使得非洲野生动物偷猎情况迅速下降。【41题详解】考查动词时态和语态。分析句子结构可知,动词record在句子“an elephant in the Niassa Reserve _1_ (record) killed by a poacher”中作谓语动词,由主句中的谓语动词was是一般过去时可知,动词record需使用一般过去时。动词record和主语an elephant是被动关系,需使
100、用被动结构be recorded,结合时态一般过去时。故填was recorded。【42题详解】考查冠词。句意:一位当地的官员。分析句子可知,名词local official前需使用冠词,由句意可知,一位当地官员,local首发音是辅音发音,需用不定冠词a。故填a。【43题详解】考查形容词。分析句子可知,be动词后需接形容词,success是名词,需转变为形容词successful。故填successful。【44题详解】考查人称代词。分析句子可知,we在动词get后作宾语,需用宾格us。故填us。【45题详解】考查定语从句关系副词。分析句子结构可知,句子“weve been able to
101、 get poaching _6_ control”在句中作定语,修饰名词point,先行词point在定语从句中作状语,表示地点,需用关系副词where。故填where。【46题详解】考查介词。句意:单靠这些措施中的任何一项都不会成功,这就是为什么花费了这么久的时间能让我们到达一个我们能够让偷猎在可控制的境地。分析句子可知,control前缺失介词,根据句意,under control表示在控制中的,固定搭配。故填under。【47题详解】考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,动词situate在句子作状语,和主语the Niassa Reserve是被动关系,需使用过去分词Situated。位
102、于句首,要大写。故填Situated。【48题详解】考查副词比较级。由than可知,表示比较意味,well需用副词比较级better表达。故填better。【49题详解】考查名词单复数。right作为名词,表“权利”之意,是可数名词,分析句子可知,right需使用复数rights表达泛指“多项权利”。故填rights。【50题详解】考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,动词come在介词from后面作宾语,需用动名词coming。故填coming。第四部分 写作(共两节,满分35分)第一节 短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)51.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

106、而且可以避免交通拥挤。【详解】第一处:考查时态。陈述客观事实,用一般现在时。故将enjoyed改为enjoy。第二处:考查名词的数。名词city为可数名词,根据“like Chengdu and Hangzhou”可知用复数形式。故将city改为cities。第三处:考查定语从句。句中先行词为city,在定语从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which或that引导。故将where改为which/that。第四处:考查there be句型。句意:几乎没有任何交通。表示“人或事物的存在”,用there be句型。故将It改为There。第五处:考查冠词。nature 表示“自然”时,是抽象名词,其前通
107、常不用定冠词。故将the去掉。第六处:考查祈使句。句意:看一看树叶,你会发现叶片上的露珠。根据连词and可知,本句考查“祈使句 + and + 陈述句 ”句型。故将Having改为Have。第七处:考查代词。代指句中的复数形式“leaves of trees”可知用代词them。故将it改为them。第八处:考查副词。修饰动词wave,用副词形式。故将gentle改为gently。第九处:考查介词。句意:在大公园里或在小溪边散步会更令人神清气爽。on the bank of在岸边。故在or后加on。第十处:考查形容词比较级。句意:每天步行20分钟可以让人看起来更年轻5岁。结合句意可知,这里用形
108、容词比较级形式。故将young改为younger。【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点:第一、找准先行词;第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作成分。先行词往往为名词或代词,如第三处,句中先行词为名词city,再分析先行词city在定语从句中所作的成分,将先行词city带到从句中可知只能作主语,所以用关系代词which或that引导。第二节 书面表达(满分25分)52.假定你是身在英国的交换生李华,学习之余你想在周末到当地一家咖啡馆兼职。请根据下面招聘广告写一封应聘信。Work for COFFEE BEANSEvery cafe at COFFEE BEANS has the same aims: to
