7、统能让它们感觉到我们人类感觉不到的气味。这或许可以解释它们为什么拒绝饮用脏水，在草地上小心翼翼地走动，只吃最美味的草。所以马是靠嗅觉来挑选最美味的草。故选B。2Which animal feels shy when facing strangers?AThe whale.BThe horse.CThe panda.DThe cat.C细节理解题。由Pandas like to be naughty中的“Pandas are shy by nature for its shy behaviours such as covering its face with a paw of ducking i
8、ts head when confronted by a stranger.”可知，熊猫天生害羞，它们有害羞的动作，比如在遇到陌生人时，用爪子遮住脸，低着头。所以熊猫遇到陌生人时会害羞。故选C。3What do the whale and the cat have in common according to the passage?AThey have a grateful heart.BThey are quite clever.CThey are active and lovely.DThey have a good sense of smell.A推理判断题。由Whale says t
9、hanks中的“Afterward，in an hourlong display of thanks，the whale swam near their boat and leaped into the air about 40 times.”和A cat honours its owner中的“.a devoted threeyearold greyandwhite cat，has placed on his former owner Iozzelli Renzos grave every day since the man died in September 2011.”可知，鲸鱼和猫的共
10、同特点是它们都有一颗感恩的心。故选A。BZaki was small for his twelve years，and he was angry being treated as a child.Farid，his older brother，had been looked upon as a man long before he was Zakis age.Every day Farid and the other young Bahraini men went out in their wooden boats to dive for oysters (牡蛎)Many times Zaki
11、 begged to go along，but Farid always refused to let him go with them.So every day Zaki would go to the shallow water to practise.His grandfather，a former diver，would watch him and advise him.All morning，Zaki would practise diving beneath the waves.Every afternoon，again and again he would go underwat

15、tted Farid on the back.Farid，however，put his arm around Zakis shoulders.“Today，” Farid announced，“we shall have a new diver among us.” Then quietly，for Zakis ears alone，he said，“Thank you，my brother.” And Zaki knew that they both had learned that it takes more than strength to make a man.【语篇解读】本文是一篇
16、记叙文。Zaki在12岁的时候还被看作小孩，不能出海捕鱼，只能在浅水区训练，而他的哥哥在12岁的时候早已经被看作一个成人，这使他很沮丧。有一天，他决定与哥哥比赛潜水，当他发现哥哥快要坚持不住的时候，他突然意识到失败对哥哥意味着什么，于是在哥哥浮出水面前先浮出水面，成全了哥哥。他们俩都从中学到了很多。4What is the second paragraph mainly about?AZakis grandfather was a good diver.BZaki liked staying at home every day.CZaki practised hard in the water
17、 daily.DZakis grandfather encouraged him to dive.C段落大意题。文章第二段主要讲述Zaki每天在祖父的陪伴下去浅水区训练，早上在波浪下潜水，下午在水下练习憋气。经过长期的训练，他在水里就像出了水面一样自在。所以这段主要描述Zaki每天在水下的努力训练。故选C。5Which of the following best describes Zaki according to Paragraph 3?AConsiderate.BAmbitious.CConfident.DAdventurous.A推理判断题。文章第三段描述的是Zaki与哥哥在水下潜水的
18、比赛。当他发现哥哥无法坚持，想要浮出水面的时候，他自己先浮出水面，让哥哥赢得比赛，因为他突然意识到了这次失败可能意味着哥哥以后会受到嘲笑。由此可以看出Zaki是很贴心，很善解人意的。故选A。6What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?AFarid beat his little brother easily.BZaki was as strong as his brother.CZaki regretted losing the competition.DBoth Farid and Zaki had grown up.D推理判断
19、题。由文章最后一段中的“Then quietly，for Zakis ears alone，he said，Thank you，my brother.”可知，Farid知道弟弟有意让他赢得比赛，对弟弟很是感激，还宣布他们今天又有了一名潜水员。由最后一段中的“And Zaki knew that they both had learned that it takes more than strength to make a man.”可知，Zaki知道他们两个人都从比赛中懂得了成为一个真正的男人需要的不仅仅是力量。所以两个人都从中懂得了很多，都获得了成长。故选D。7What is the bes
20、t title for the text?AFarids PrideBZakis ChallengeCBrothers competitionDGrandfathers AdviceB标题归纳题。本文开始描写的是Zaki 12岁了还被当作小孩，于是很失落，最后通过比赛，他不仅成为潜水员，还明白了一个道理成为一个真正的男人需要的不仅仅是力量。Zaki面临的不仅是成为潜水员的挑战，更是为人设身处地考虑的挑战。所以是这个挑战让Zaki懂得了这个道理，也是这个挑战体现了文章的中心。故选B。CWhen we walked into the cafe，we were greeted by a waitre
21、ss who smiled，held out a menu，and pointed to a table.Its only when we asked for a table for six that we realized something was a bit different.The waitress glanced at our group and held up six fingers.Thats because all the staff are deaf.Last month，the HuffPost visited Smiles Cafe in Granada.The bus

24、“Smiles Cafe was born out of a provocation.99 per cent of people with disabilities here are jobless.That was wrong！” Bunuel said.“So I decided to open a cafe where all of the employees were deaf to show that it works.” At the cafe，customers order by pointing to items on the menus，which have special
25、symbols to indicate substitutions.For instance，if youre ordering fruit parfait，and you dont want yogurt on it，you just point to the illustration (图示) of the parfait，and then to the image of yogurt with a big red “X” over it.To help customers communicate with staff and learn while they eat，the walls
26、are covered with letters，words and phrases，from “Thank you” to “Welcome” with illustrations that show the corresponding translation.The cafe，now five years old，is a project of the nonprofit Centro Social Tio Antonio.“Weve opened a small window，” the founder said.“If it serves to create awareness，the

28、at our group and held up six fingers.Thats because all the staff are deaf.”可知，服务员看到我们一行六人的时候，竖起了6个手指，这是因为所有的员工都是聋人。故选A。9What did the founder of the cafe expect his employees to do?AMake a big fortune.BBecome well known in the city.CRecover from their illnesses.DOvercome their fears for work.D细节理解题。根

30、allenge of employing the disabled.CFounders reached an agreement after discussions.DThe disabled were worried about their work at first.B句意理解题。根据前文“While the law requires companies to employ two people with disabilities for every 50 employees，many businesses dont.”可知，尽管法律要求这些公司每50人中要雇佣2个残疾人，然而很多公司并没
31、有这么做。结合下文“So I decided to open a cafe where all of the employees were deaf to show that it works.”可知，因此创始人决定开一家只雇佣残疾人的咖啡店。画线句起到承上启下的作用，连接上下文语境，B项“为了接受雇用残疾人的挑战而成立了这家咖啡店”符合题意。故选B。11What is helpful to the customers in the cafe?AThe deafness of the employees.BSpecial symbols on the menu.CThe nonprofit m
32、odel of the cafe.DThe awareness of the employer.B细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“At the cafe，customers order by pointing to items on the menus，which have special symbols to indicate substitutions.”可知，在咖啡店，顾客们通过指菜单上的物品点单，在菜单上有特殊符号表示替代品，表明菜单上的特殊符号对于顾客点单很有帮助。故选B。DStep into Moving to Mars，an exhibition of Mars mission

34、all “home”As Lisa Grossman wrote for New Scientist a couple of years ago，“Whats different about Mars is that there is nothing to do there except trying not to die.”It is an odd beginning for such a celebratory exhibition，but it provides a valuable，dark background against which the rest of the show c

41、t Mars is that there is nothing to do there except trying not to die.(就像Lisa Grossman几年前为新科学家写的那样，火星的不同之处在于，人类在火星上除了努力地活着之外，什么也做不了。)”可知从Lisa Grossman的话中我们能了解到在火星上生活是不可能的。故选A。14What does the exhibition focus on?AThe current plans for Mars.BThe advantages of living on Mars.CThe early ideas about Mars.

50、河的发源地，故选D。18G本段介绍了亚马孙河，它是世界上最大的河流，根据下文“The main Amazon River flows mostly through Brazil and Peru，but.”可知，下文描述亚马孙河的干流和支流，故该空应该描述它的发源地安第斯山脉，故选G。19B根据下文可知，本段介绍刚果河。又因后一句提到了它的深度，由此可知B选项“刚果河是世界上最深的河流”符合语境。故选B。20F根据上文对刚果河所处的地理位置的描述“The sources of the Congo River are in the highlands and mountains in the E

66、怎样洗手有详细的指导。detailed为形容词，修饰名词，故应填名词instruction，且表示“用法说明”时应用复数形式。故填instructions。37to考查介词。首先，用干净的自来水洗手，关掉水龙头以节约用水，然后把肥皂涂在手上。短语apply sth. to.意为“将涂在”，故填to。38to make考查非谓语动词。然后，用双手搓出泡沫，确保手背、手指间和指甲下都有泡沫。分析句子结构可知本句中make作非谓语动词，表目的，需用不定式。故填to make。39where考查表语从句。这就是许多人的不足之处：你应该洗手至少20秒。本句为表语从句，从句中缺少地点状语。故填where。
67、40suggests/has suggested考查动词时态。有证据表明，洗手时间达到至少20秒可以帮你清除更多的细菌。本句可理解为描述客观事实，故用一般现在时，主语为evidence，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，故填suggests；或理解为现在完成时，表示“已经表明”，故填has suggested。故填suggests/has suggested。41washing考查省略句。在while连接的状语从句中，常省略跟主句相同的主语和be动词。从句补充完整为while(you are)washing your hands。故填washing。42or考查连词。接下来，用干净的水好好洗手，然后
68、用干净的毛巾或干手机弄干。此处表示选择关系“或者”应用or。故填or。43differently考查词性转换。如果你用不同的方式洗手，也没关系。修饰动词wash应用副词形式，故填differently。44better考查比较级。有总比没有好。根据下文than可知应用形容词比较级，better than“好过”。故填better。45healthy考查词性转换。但是，正确的方法可以让你和你周围的人保持健康。短语keep healthy意为“保持健康”，故填healthy。.应用文写作(满分15分)假设你是李华，十一假期和你的父母一起外出游玩，你想将你的旅游经历与你的美国笔友Jack分享。请给他
