16、e?”The foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there dont have names.People use landmarks(地标)in their directions instead of street names.For example,the Japanese will say to travelers,“Go straight down to the corner.Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market.The
17、post office is across from the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American Midwest,there are not usually many landmarks.There are no mountains,so the land is very flat;in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles.Instead of landmarks,people will tell you directions and distances.In K
18、ansas or Iowa,for example,people will say,“Go north two miles.Turn east,and then go another mile.”People in Los Angeles,California,have no idea of distance on the map;they measure distance in time,not miles.“How far away is the post office?”you ask.“Oh,”they answer,“its about five minutes from here.
19、”You say,“Yes,but how many miles away is it?”They dont know.Its true that a person doesnt know the answer to your question sometimes.What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say,“Sorry,I have no idea.” But in Yucatan,Mexico,no one answers“I dont know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I d
20、ont know” is impolite.They usually give an answer,often a wrong one.A tourist can get very,very lost in Yucatan!36When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place,they usually_.Adescribe the place carefullyBshow him the names of the streetsCtell him a map of the placeDrefer to recognizabl

23、 fifteen,I bought myself a computer and took it apart.Those were the days when you could take the top off and,with the help of books,know what each of the parts did.Playing with that computer taught me that you learn almost everything by doing.My early curiosity about computers helped lead me to the

53、内容:1.描述图中所表达的相关信息;2分析此现象的原因以及由此产生的后果;3提出你的建议(至少两条)。注意:词数:150左右。_【详解答案】1Dpermit sb. to do“允许某人做”和permit doing“允许做”均为固定搭配。2C考查let alone的用法。句意:我还没决定吃什么菜呢,更不必说买食物了。let alone“更别提;更不用说”,后跟与前面部分相对应的谓语或名词。这里前面部分是完成时态,所以用过去分词。3A考查动词短语辨析。句意:我的问题是人类为什么控制着动物,并利用他们帮助自己。have power over“控制”,符合句意。get away from“逃离”;
54、make room for“给让位置”;put up with“忍受”。4B考查虚拟语气。句意:你上周为什么不把你的困难告诉我呢?如果你告诉了我,我就可能帮你了。根据题干中的why didnt you tell me和could have helped可知,此处表达与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,所以if条件句的谓语动词用had told。5D考查动词辨析。句意:人们越来越倾向于在网上购物,但有时候很难保证所购商品的质量。ensure“保证,确保”,符合句意。assume“假定,假设”;suppose“料想,假定”;measure“测量,衡量”。6D句意:他已习惯了爬陡峭的山,因此他毫不费力地到达山
55、顶。be accustomed to“习惯于”,to为介词,故可排除A、C两项;此处应用其过去分词形式作状语。7C考查名词性从句的引导词。句意:我们都想知道的是MH370航班到底发生了什么,它又在哪里。句中is前面是一个句子,且句子缺少宾语,意为“什么”,故用what。8B句意:那个年轻人能适应新环境的原因是他对任何事物都持有一个灵活的态度。appeal to“吸引”;adjust to“适应”;subscribe to“同意,赞成”;devote oneself to“献身于”。9B句意:政府通过条例禁止在市中心停车。prohibit doing sth.“禁止做某事”。10A考查形容词辨析
56、。句意:你和同事们相处得好吗?哦,我和他们到现在都还不太熟。familiar“熟悉的”,be familiar with“熟悉,通晓”,符合句意。aware“意识到的,知道的”,常和of搭配;similar“相似的”,和to搭配;known“已知的”。11D考查状语从句的省略。答语句意:是的。如果可能的话,我打算去城里的几家养老院去看看。原句应为If it is possible,此处it is被省略。12A考查时态。句意:到约公元前100年时,丝绸就已成为丝绸之路沿线交易的主要货物之一。by表示“到某一时间为止”,是过去完成时的标志,故选A。13B考查with的复合结构。句意:随着物价的不断
57、上涨,依靠我们的微薄收入有时难以量入为出。宾语prices与keep构成逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词形式作宾语补足语,表主动,故B项正确。14D考查虚拟语气。答句句意:如果你发高烧的话,你也会是这个样子。15Call the best一切顺利,万事如意,符合语境。congratulations祝贺你;cheer up振作起来;go ahead请用吧。.【语篇解读】文章通过叙述“我”在等待飞机的时候对往事的回忆,告诉我们要经常停留一下,回顾生活中美好的事情。16B由下文“with lots of meetings”可知,答案选B,这里指很“繁忙的(busy)”三天,而不是important“重
58、要的”;useful“有用的”;convenient“方便的”三天。17D依据上文“about 30 minutes before the checkin”可判断,此处指“我”有额外的时间来做别的事,因此答案选D。18C结合上文语境,此处指“我”很乐意有额外的时间来计划第二天“需要(needed)”做的事,所以答案选C。have to do sth.“不得不做某事”;fail to do sth.“未能做某事”;manage to do sth.“设法做成某事”,均不符合语境。19A依据语境可知,这里应指机场发布了一项通知,因此答案为A。20D从下文可知,航班是被延误了(delayed),所以
59、答案选D。cancel“取消”,不符合文义。21A飞机出了故障,“我”当然是等待“航班(flight)”,因此答案为A。22B由下文“Our lunch”可知,答案选lunch“午餐”。negotiation“谈判”;party“聚会”;discussion“讨论”,均不符合文意。23C用as well as 连接recalling 和filling两个动名词。24Dspend,meet,manage都不能与先行词times和experiences很好地搭配,因此答案选D,share“分享,共有”。25B由“we must do it again”可知,“我们”很满意那天的聚餐,因此答案选B。
60、26D句意为“有这样的额外时间来回想我们的对话实在是太好了”。回想应是在大脑中。因此答案为mind。thought“思想”;spirit“精神”;flight“航班”,均不符合句意。27C这里说的是“我”的感受:“我”认识到经常回顾生命中的快乐时光是多么重要。reminder“引起回忆的事物”;time“时间”;plan“计划”;remainder“剩余物”,依据句意,答案选C。28D由下文“reflect on the good things”可知,这里表示“我”有机会来短暂地放松,因此答案为D,take a short break“短暂的休息。”29A句意为“这就有点像是在看储藏在家中柜子
61、里的老相册一样”。store away“贮藏”;put on“穿上”;set aside“留出”;give out“分发”。依据句意,答案选A。30B既然“take you back to times and places”,那么应是“许多精彩的回忆”,因此答案选B。celebration“庆祝”;award“奖品”;present“礼物”,均不符合句意。31D上文已经提到“an old photo album”,因此答案为D。32C由上文“As I sat waiting for my_21_to be called”可知,此处答案应为C。33Bboard the plane“登飞机”,答案
62、选B。34A由“I smiled”可知,此时“我”的心情是很愉快的,所以对飞机的延迟并不“心烦(upset)”,故答案为A。35C由上文“reflected on my last meeting of the day”可知,答案选C,reflect on“认真思考”。take on“呈现”;seize on“抓住(可利用的事物)”;bring on“导致,促使生长”,均不符合语境。.【语篇解读】本文讲述的是在问路时遇见的各国的文化差异。36D细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“.in Japan.People use landmarks(地标)in their directions instead
63、 of street names.”可知选D项。37B细节理解题。见倒数第二段第一句。38C细节理解题。见最后一段倒数第二、三句。39A推理判断题。通读全文可知,作者介绍了一些地方人们对方向的不同回答方式,因此可推出对旅行者来说理解文化差异是重要的,故选A项。B、D两项在文中并未提到;根据最后一段可知C项错误。【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。作者告诉我们不仅要对事物充满好奇,而且要寻找机会尝试新的做事方式。40C细节理解题。根据第一段的“I loved finding out how things worked”可知,作者之所以拆开电脑是因为他对电脑充满好奇,想知道电脑是如何工作的。41A词义猜测题
64、。由本段出现的“curiosity”及“I try to encourage them”可知,这里应该指当孩子们显示出极大的兴趣时。42B推理判断题,由文中出现的“try new ways of doing things”和“trying a new way of doing something”可知,作者旨在说明创新很重要。【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了米勒的生平经历及他的代表作推销员之死的内容。43B细节理解题。从文章第一段第二句“Millers father had moved to the USA from AustriaHungary,drawn like so many others
65、by theGreat American Dream”可知,和许多人一样,是美国梦吸引米勒的父亲去美国。44A细节理解题。从第二段第一句可知,米勒所写的这部戏剧抨击了美国社会制度,那种掠夺式的商业模式,那种对金钱的贪欲,以及那种以人的社会地位作为成功标志的价值观,这部戏剧在教育人们审视美国国民的价值观,重新审视所谓“美国梦”的价值。45A推理判断题。从文章第三段可知,推销员之死在首度公演之后,受到了人们热情的好评,也同时获得美国三个著名的文学奖项,由此它获得了巨大的成功。46D主旨大意题。本文的第一段和最后一段介绍米勒的生平,而二、三段介绍了他的戏剧推销员之死以及这部戏剧所取得的巨大成功,故D
66、项正确。【语篇解读】科学家们培训一种特殊的老鼠,让它们帮助人们扫雷。47A细节判断题。根据第二段中的“the rats can smell special metals in the mines and then signal to their human team”可知,这些老鼠能嗅出地雷里的特殊金属的气味。48D细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They stand less of a chance of setting off the mines,which explode under a certain amount of weight”可知,老鼠比狗体重轻,因此它们不会轻易引爆地雷。49C
67、代词指代题。根据they前面的句子“Luisa Fernanda Mndez and her team in Colombia are training the even lighter Wistar rats.These are the white rats with red eyes that scientists often use in laboratory experiments”可知,这里的they指的是前面提到的Wistar rats。50B主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了科学家们培训一种特殊的老鼠,让它们帮助人们扫雷。故B项正确。.51.traditional 52.Benefits

69、many private cars and official cars.The phenomenon is not uncommon nowadays.With the number of private cars and official cars increasing,traffic jams are certain to happen.Heavy transportation pressure in large cities may bring much inconvenience to people and have negative impacts on the environmen
70、t.For one thing,when traffic jam happens,drivers and passengers have to waste a lot of precious time on the road.For another,waste gas produced by cars has polluted the environment and caused carbon emission,which is against the concept of living a low carbon life.In my opinion,the government should take effective measures to deal with the traffic jam.Firstly,it is necessary to raise private car purchase taxes so as to restrict private car ownership rate.Secondly,public transportation should be encouraged and promoted so that we can have a smooth transportation.
