23、y. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are airconditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every

30、可知,2060年往前推45年是2015年,所以文章写于2015年。故选D。2.细节理解题。根据第二段第一句和第二句“Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe.”(到月球的航行每天都在进行。如今在月球上度假就像1960年人们在欧洲度假一样容易。)可知,到了2060年人们去月球旅行很容易,所以月球上会有很多游客。故选B。3.细节理

32、 announcement came after a report went viral online claiming the base camp of the worlds highest mountain was “permanently closed due to heavy pollution” and caused a universal misunderstanding.Mount Qomolangma National Nature Reserve was set up in 1988. Covering an area of more than 33, 800 square
33、km, it is home to one of the worlds most weak ecosystems(生态系统).Kelsang, deputy director of the reserves administration, said ordinary tourists are allowed to visit areas around Rongpo Monastery, almost 5,000 meters above sea level. As for travelers who have a climbing permit, they can go to the base
34、 camp at an altitude of 5,200 meters. The mountaineering activities have been permitted by the regional forestry department.To conserve the environment surrounding Mount Qomolangma, China carried out three major clean-ups at an altitude of 5, 200 meters and above last spring, collecting eight tonnes
35、 of household wastes, human wastes and mountaineering trash. This year, the clean-up will continue, and the remains of mountaineering victims(受害者) above 8,000 meters will be centrally dealt with for the first time. Meanwhile, the number of people who stay at the base camp will be kept under 300.Rece
36、ntly there are 85 wildlife protectors in the reserve, and 1,000 herders have part-time jobs going around and cleaning up garbage.These measures aim to strike a balance between various demands such as environmental protection, local poverty relief, mountaineering and education, said Wang Shen, county
37、 chief of Dingri at the mountain foot.8. Which of the following can replace the underlined words “went viral” in Paragraph 2 ?A. Spread wild.B. Block out.C. Gave away.D. Shoot up.9.

38、the base camp.B. Permit is a must for visitors going to the base camp.C. The mountaineering activities are not allowed these days.D. The areas above 5,200 meters are open to everyone.10. Why did the government carry out clean-ups at an altitude of 5, 200 meters and above?A. To provide a much easier
39、path for mountaineers.B. To keep mountaineering activities going smooth.C. To remove the remains of mountaineering victims.D. To protect the environment of Mount Qomolangma.11.

40、】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道,西藏自治区政府否认网传“珠峰景区永久关闭”的不实消息,并表示西藏珠峰保护区将继续有条件开放。【8题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线词后 “. caused a universal misunderstanding”可推知,一篇声称珠峰景区因污染严重而永久关闭的报道在网上疯传,引起了普遍的误解,由此可知,画线词词义为“疯传”,故A项正确。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“ordinary tourists are allowed to visit areas around Rongpo Monastery, almost 5,000 meters above sea l
41、evel. As for travelers who have a climbing permit, they can go to the base camp at an altitude of 5,200 meters. The mountaineering activities have been permitted by the regional forestry department.”可知,普通游客可以参观海拔5,000米的荣普寺周边地区,对于有登山许可证的游客,可参观海拔5,200米的大本营,登山活动已得到林业部门的批准,由此可知,去大本营的游客必须有登山许可,故B项正确。【10题
42、详解】细节理解题。根据第五段“To conserve the environment surrounding Mount Qomolangma, China carried out three major clean-ups at an altitude of 5, 200 meters and above last spring.”可知,为了保护珠峰周边的环境,去年春天,中国政府在海拔5, 200以上的地方进行了三次大清理,故D项正确。【11题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“there are 85 wildlife protectors in the reserve, and 1,000
43、 herders have part-time jobs going around and cleaning up garbage.”可知,保护区里有85名野生动物保护者,有1,000名牧民做清理垃圾的兼职工作,共有1085个人参与了清理工作,故D项正确。【点睛】词义猜测题的难度较大,理解画线词的上下文是关键,例如本篇第1题,根据画线词后 “ caused a universal misunderstanding” 表明这篇报道引起了普遍的误解,影响如此之广,一定是传播速度非常快,因此这篇报道一定是在网上疯传,由此可知,画线词词义为“疯传”。D“Baby signing” classes es

47、ases to communicate their everyday needs, such as “milk” “more” “all gone” “food” and “tired”. It is claimed that the technique brings great benefits, including improving the relationship between mother and child, helping language development and even increasing a childs intelligence.But research fr
48、om Hertfordshire University has found no evidence that using baby signing helps to improve their language development. The scholars added, “Baby signing has become big business and mothers, particularly firsttime mums or less confident parents, feel the pressure to do it. Some even think if I dont d
49、o it and everyone else does, I must be a bad mother.”Nevertheless, baby signing experts barely sustained the findings. Wendy Moat, 45, who has been running baby signing classes for three years, said that the classes encouraged speech development, and may help develop a higher IQ. She said, “So many
50、mums say that their children talk so well because they did baby signing when they were babies. Parents wouldnt say it if they didnt believe it.”12. Which of the following may help improve childrens language skills?A. Using simple words and phrases.B. Talking to them as much as possible.C. Buying the
51、m more books and DVDs.D. Creating a serious home environment.13.

53、een mother and child.D. Baby signing classes fail to improve childrens language skills.【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D【解析】这是一篇新闻报道。这篇新闻报道主要介绍了一项最新研究结果为提高语言能力而开设的婴儿手语课程实际上对儿童的语言技能发展几乎没有什么作用。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“An active home environment in which parents regularly talk to their children was much more eff
54、ective”(一个父母经常和孩子交谈的,氛围活跃的家庭环境会更有效。)可知,尽可能多地和孩子交谈可能更有助于提高儿童的语言技能。故选B项。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“Some even think if I dont do it and everyone else does, I must be a bad mother.”(有些人甚至认为“如果我不这样做,而其他人都这么做,我一定是个坏妈妈”。)可知,一些新手妈妈选择婴儿手语课是受他人影响,盲目跟风下的行为。故选A项。【14题详解】词句猜测题。根据最后一段 “the findings” 指的是第四段的“research from
55、Hertfordshire University has found no evidence that using baby signing helps to improve their language development”(Hertfordshire大学的研究没有发现使用婴儿手语有助于改善他们的语言发展的证据),但宝宝手语专家Wendy Moat 所说的“the classes encouraged speech development”( 这些课程鼓励了语言的发展)可知,宝宝手语专家所说和研究发现形成对立的观点。因此综合“baby signing experts barely sus
56、tained the findings. ”(婴儿手语专家几乎不_这一发现)句意可知,“sustained”意为“支持、赞成”。选项A. obtained获得;B. sought寻求;C. approved of赞成;D. figured out弄明白,解决。故选C项。【15题详解】主旨大意题。本文是一篇新闻报道,根据文章第一段“Baby signing classes established to improve language skills actually make little difference to childrens development, according to new
57、 research.”(最新研究显示,为提高语言能力而开设的婴儿手语课程实际上对儿童的发展几乎没有什么作用)以及下文的各项研究结果都在围绕这一观点展开可知,本文主旨即婴儿手语课不能提高儿童的语言技能。故选D项。第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Last Sunday I was thinking about the difference between successful people and those who dont achieve anything significant.

58、n interesting discovery. This difference may at first look obvious, but the fact is quite the opposite. _16_Everyone has a purpose behind their actions. If they dont, they wouldnt take action._17_ When they take action, at the back of their minds they think about success that this action is going to
59、 bring them._18_ Whats the purpose behind your actions? Do you work to thrive (蓬勃发展) or to survive?

60、ome unexpected bill will arrive. They go to bed worrying about money and unimportant things. They hate their employment but dont quit because they doubt their own ability to create something greater. I know this kind of feeling because I was like that once. Thats a very uncomfortable state to be in
61、because you are constantly worried about insignificant things. _19_ Therefore, you cannot achieve anything great.Now there are some people who dont accept the “Life is hard” story and they are fueled by an entirely different purpose.They work to thrive. _20_ They have a beautiful vision and they tak

Such an attitude invites great opportunities to you.E. And they dont think about why something cannot be done.F.
63、And this makes you take even more or better quality action.G. But successful people have a completely different purpose behind their actions.【答案】16. C 17. G 18. A 19. B 20. E【解析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了每个人行动背后都有一个目标,但成功人士在他们的行动背后都有一个完全不同的目标,他们为成功而采取行动。【16题详解】由上一句“This difference may at first look obvious, bu
64、t the fact is quite the opposite.”(这种差别乍一看可能很明显,但事实恰恰相反。)和下一句“Everyone has a purpose behind their actions.”(每个人的行为背后都有一个目的。)可知,成功人士和那些没有取得任何重大成就的人之间是有区别的,因为每个人行为背后都有目的,目的不同,人们采取行动就会不同,承接上下文,C选项“它在于什么激励人们采取行动。”切题。故选C项。【17题详解】本文主要讲成功人士的成功在于他们的行动背后都有一个完全不同的目标。由上两句“Everyone has a purpose behind their ac
65、tions. If they dont, they wouldnt take action.”(每个人的行为背后都有一个目的。如果他们不这样做,他们就不会采取行动。)和下一句“When they take action, at the back of their minds they think about success that this action is going to bring them.”(当他们采取行动时,他们会在心底想着这个行动将给他们带来的成功。)可知,每个人行为背后都有目的,但成功人士有着完全不同的目的,会想这个行动给他们带来怎样的成功,承接上下文,G选项“但成功人士的
66、行为背后有着完全不同的目的。”切题。故选G项。【18题详解】由下面三句“Whats the purpose behind your actions? Do you work to thrive (蓬勃发展) or to survive? Do you go to work to feed your family or to create an amazing lifestyle?”(你行动的目的是什么?你工作是为了茁壮成长还是为了生存?你上班是为了养家糊口还是为了创造一种令人惊叹的生活方式?)可知,作者向读者提出了三个问题,承接下文,A选项“所以让我问你几个问题。”切题。故选A项。【19题详解
67、】由上一句“Thats a very uncomfortable state to be in because you are constantly worried about insignificant things.”(这是一种非常不舒服的状态,因为你总是担心一些无关紧要的事情。)可知,该选项中的This state对应上文中的a very uncomfortable state,不舒服的状态让人担心一些无关紧要的事情,人是没有精力去发挥创造性的,承接上文,B选项“这种状态不允许你有创造性。”切题。故选B项。【20题详解】由上面两句“Now there are some people wh
68、o dont accept the “Life is hard” story and they are fueled by an entirely different purpose. They work to thrive.”(现在有一些人不接受“生活艰难”的说法,他们的动机完全不同。他们为了成功而工作。)和下一句“They have a beautiful vision and they take constant action to make that vision a reality.”(他们有一个美丽的愿景,他们会不断采取行动,使这一愿景成为现实。)可知,有些人不相信生活是艰难的,他
69、们为成功而工作,并有一个美丽的愿望且不断采取行动来实现这个愿望,说明这些人为了成功不会去想什么事情该不该做,承接上下文,E选项“他们不去想为什么有些事不能做。”切题。故选E项。第三部分 语言运用(共三节, 满分45分)第一节 (共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。UPS driver Ryan Arens was making his rounds near a pond in Bozeman when he heard a strange sound.
