Its not much to look at. It isnt descriptive, emotive or inspiring. Technically, its meaningless. And yet this dull
28、and harmless-seeming word could be one of the most powerful words in the English language. “The” tops the lists of most frequently used words in English, accounting for 5% of every 100 words used. But why is this? The answer is two-fold. The principle of least effort plays a major part. So people us
29、e it a lot. At the same time, “the” lies at the heart of English grammar, having a function rather than a meaning. Words are split into two categories: expressions with a semantic (语义的) meaning and functional words like “the”, “to”, “for”, with a job to do. Although “the” has no meaning in itself, “
30、it seems to be able to do things in subtle and miraculous ways,” says Michael Rosen, poet and author. Consider the difference between “he scored a goal” and “he scored the goal”. The inclusion of “the” immediately signals something important about that goal. Perhaps it was the only one of the match?
31、 Or maybe it helped a team win the championship? Context very often determines sense. This simplest of words can be used for dramatic effect. At the start of Hamlet, a guards utterance of “Long live the King” is soon followed by the ghost: “Looks it not like the King?” Who, the audience may wonder,
32、does “the” refer to? The living King or a dead King? This kind of confusion is the kind of “trick” that writers use to make us surprised and amused, a bit uneasy even. “The is doing a lot of work here,” says Rosen.8. Which of the following describes the word “the” correctly?A. It is often overlooked
33、.B. It is useless in practice.C. It is dull and descriptive.D. It is in every English sentence.9 The word “the” is frequently used because it is _.A. brief and functionalB. popular and uniqueC. effective and emotiveD. meaningful and expressive10. What does the example in Paragraph 3 imply?A. “A” is
34、not as important as “the”.B. Its impossible to understand a single sentence.C. Words should be understood in the context.D. Some words have a clearer meaning than others.11. Why did the writer of the play stress “the” in “Looks it not like the King”?A. To show his confusion.B. To add drama to the sc
35、ene.C. To repeat the guards words.D. To help the audience understand.【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. B【解析】【分析】本文属于说明文。文章讲述了英语中不可或缺的“the” 的作用以及使用效果。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“We use it in English without always noticing or appreciating it.”可知,我们在不经意间经常使用the这个词,也没有好好欣赏这个词。由此可知,这个词经常被人们忽视,没有重视这个词,故选A。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“
36、The principle of least effort plays a major part. So people use it a lot. At the same time, “the” lies at the heart of English grammar, having a function rather than a meaning.”可知,最少努力的原则起了重要作用。所以人们经常使用它。与此同时,“the”是英语语法的核心,它具有功能而不是意义。由此可知,the这个词有着自己功能性作用。故选A。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“Consider the differenc
37、e between “he scored a goal” and “he scored the goal”.(想想“他进了一个球”和“他进了这个球”之间的区别)”及最后一句“Context very often determines sense.(语境常常决定单词的含义)”可推知,通过例举the的例子来说明,单词的含义由语境决定。故选C。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“This kind of confusion is the kind of “trick” that writers use to make us surprised and amused, a bit uneasy e
38、ven. “The is doing a lot of work here,” says Rosen.(这种困惑是作家用来让我们感到惊讶和有趣,甚至有点不安的“伎俩”。“The在这里做了很多工作,”罗森说)”可推知,剧本的作者在看起来不像国王中强调“the”以增加戏剧效果。故选B。DOur suits have four layers: thermal underwear on the inside, followed by an electrically heated bodysuit, a thick wool coat, and a half-inch-thick layer of ru
39、bber outerwear. Therere two layers of hoods, waterproof gloves and 35 pounds of weights.

It s almost unbearable. Toward the end, as were pausing on our way up to let the pressure drop, we search for anything to

When we finally drag ourselves out of the freezing ocean, I lie face down on the ice, my brain dulled, my skin hard and wrinkled, my lips, hands, and feet swollen and unconsciousthen, as my body warms and the blood starts to flow (again), the intense pain is at its worst.
42、 What could possibly make this worthwhile? The sight! Only a few species of seals, penguins, and other birds live in East Antarctica, and no land mammals at all. Below, its a rich garden. Antarctic marine life has been largely isolated from the rest of the planet for millions of years, ever since th
43、e continent separated from the other continents and froze over. Since then the powerful Antarctic Circumpolar Current has surrounded Antarctica from west to east, creating a sharp change in temperature that prevents the spread of marine animals. The long isolation has allowed a surprising diversity
44、of species, unique to the region, to evolve on the seafloor. The waters under Antarctic ice are like Mount Qomolangma: magical, but extremely unfriendly. Nothing short of full commitment gets you anywhere. The demand is too great. But thats what makes the images you see here so breathtaking, and the

A【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在南极的潜水经历,描述了潜水时的感受和让在南极潜水变得有价值的原因。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“Our suits have four layers: thermal underwear on the inside, followed by an electrically heated bodysuit, a thick wool coat, and a half-inch-thick layer of ru

50、手套和35磅的重物。有两节电池用于加热的紧身衣,一个备用的气体容器,最后是我的摄影设备。 我们看起来像没戴头盔的宇航员)”可推知,在第一段作者想告诉我们潜水员准备得有多充分。故选A。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“When we finally drag ourselves out of the freezing ocean, I lie face down on the ice, my brain dulled, my skin hard and wrinkled, my lips, hands, and feet swollen and unconsciousthen, as my
51、 body warms and the blood starts to flow (again), the intense pain is at its worst.(当我们终于把自己拖出冰冷的海洋时,我脸朝下躺在冰面上,我的大脑变得迟钝,我的皮肤坚硬而起皱,我的嘴唇、手和脚都肿了,失去了知觉然后,随着我的身体变暖,血液开始再次流动,强烈的疼痛达到了最严重的程度)”可知,当潜水员恢复知觉时,他们承受着最大的痛苦。故选D。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Antarctic marine life has been largely isolated from the rest of t

54、 make this worthwhile? The sight!( 什么能让这一切变得有价值呢?是景色!)”以及最后一段中“But thats what makes the images you see here so breathtaking, and the experience of having photographed them and of having seen this place so unforgettable.(但这就是为什么你在这里看到的照片如此令人惊叹,拍摄这些照片的经历和看到这个地方的经历如此难忘)”可知,是令人惊叹的风景和拍摄的照片让在南极洲的潜水经历如此值得。

85、 _43_ new camera in the end. It was worth it, though. I still have that golden headdress, as _44_ reminds me of those unforgettable days. The Rio Carnival is without doubt something _45_ everyone should add to his or her bucket list.【答案】36. events 37. armed 38. was 39. with 40. to trade 41. probably
86、 42. explanation 43. a 44. it 45. that【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在巴西狂欢节上作为一名外国记者难忘的经历。【36题详解】考查名词复数。句意:它是巴西最大的文化活动之一,每年吸引多达200万游客前来参观。one of+形容词最高级+名词复数,表示“最之一”是英语习惯表达,故用名词event的复数形式合乎逻辑。故填events。37题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:狂欢节的第一天,我带着相机和笔记本上街,准备干点活。分析句子可知,空格处为非谓语,动词arm“装备”和主语I之间是被动关系,故用其过去分词,作状语。故填armed。【38题详解】
87、考查be动词的时态和数。句意:在那里,我的感官一直受到攻击。动名词短语Being there作主语,谓语动词用单数;根据上下文可知,此处描述过去发生的事情,用一般过去时,谓语动词用过去式。故填was。【39题详解】考查介词。句意:数百人载歌载舞,空气中弥漫着巴西桑巴舞音乐。介词with接复合宾语,句中with+名词+现在分词,作状语,表示伴随,符合句意和语法。故填with。【40题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:有一次,有人提出用一杯酒精饮料和一个金色羽毛头饰换我的相机。offer to do sth“主动提出做某事”是动词习惯用法,不定式作宾语。故填to trade。【41题详解】考查副词。句意
88、:这可能是一个被狂欢节的精神所淹没的问题。修饰整个句子,应用probable的副词形式。故填probably。【42题详解】考查名词。句意:不幸的是,我的老板不接受这个解释,所以最后我不得不花钱买了一个新相机。根据空格前的accept this可知,此处应用explain的名词explanation单数形式作宾语。故填explanation。【43题详解】考查冠词。句意:不幸的是,我的老板不接受这个解释,所以最后我不得不花钱买了一个新相机。根据句意可知,这里泛指“一个新相机”,new camera应用不定冠词限定,因所连接的单词new以辅音音素开头,故填a。【44题详解】考查代词。句意:但这是
89、值得的。我仍然留着那个金色的头饰,因为它让我想起了那些难忘的日子。分析句子,根据句意可知,此处连词as后应用代词it作主语,指前面的事物that golden headdress。故填it。【45题详解】考查定语从句。句意:毫无疑问,狂欢节是每个人都应该添加到他或她的愿望清单上的东西。分析句子可知,空格处引导限制性定语从句,先行词为不定代词something,故用关系代词that引导从句,在从句中作宾语。故填that。第四部分 写作 (共两节, 满分40分)第一节 (满分15分)46. 假定你是学生会“关爱老人”项目的负责人。学生会拟在居假期间组织志愿者到社区帮助老年人学习使用智能手机和上网,
