32、nterest and were more likely to visit cultural places in the future.(Arkansas大学Jay Greene领导的一项研究发现,参观艺术博物馆的学生大大提高了他们对艺术的知识和批判性思考能力。他们也表现出更强的历史兴趣,更有可能在未来参观文化场所)”可知,Arkansas大学的Jay Greene的研究表明通过参观艺术博物馆可以培养学生们艺术的知识和批判性思考,同时还会养成对历史的兴趣。由此可推知,学生们所得到的回报就是更多的文化意识。故选A项。CCurtis Whitson knew the water fall was
33、coming. Hed rafted down the Arroyo Seco, a river in central California, before. But this year was different. Heavy snow and spring rains had turned the usually manageable falls into something fierce. And this year, instead of his friends, Whitsons companions were his wife, Krystal Ramirez, and his 1
34、3-year-old son, Hunter. As the three of them approached the falls late in the afternoon of the third day of their camping trip, Whitson could tell from the increasing roar of water in the narrow canyon that they were in serious trouble. There was no way theyd be able to rappel down(绕绳下降) the rocks a

They had no mobile phone service, and they hadnt seen a single person in the past three days.As he considered what to do, Whitson hit on a bit o
36、f luck-he heard voices coming from the other side of the falls. He yelled, but the sound of the rushing water drowned him out.We have to get these people a message, Whitson thought.Then he spotted his green Nalgene water bottle. Whitson grabbed it and carved “Help!” on it. Ramirez also reminded him
37、that he had a pen and paper, which shed brought to play games with, in his backpack. Whitson knew it was a long shot. But he scrawled “We are stuck here at the waterfall. Get help please!” and pushed the note into the bottle, throwing it over the waterfall perfectly. “All right, thats all we can do,
38、” Whitson told Hunter.It took 30 minutes to navigate back upstream to the beach where they made a fire. With no reasonable expectation that their message in a bottle would find its way to anyone, they spelled out SOS in white rocks. As the evening wore on, they placed a headlamp with a flashing ligh
39、t on a ledge (岩石突出部) . Then, just after midnight, they heard a helicopter hovering above them. Whitson ran over to the headlamp and started flashing it at the helicopter. He, Ramirez, and Hunter were waving and hollering when they heard the magic words: “This is Search and Rescue. You have been foun
40、d.”It was a moment of pure happiness as the three chatted with the officers who had rescued them. Together, they marveled at the unlikelihood of it all. Two men had seen the water bottle in the water. When they picked it up, they noticed the writing on it - “Help!”.A few days after news of the rescu
41、e broke, one of the hikers contacted Whitson.Thats when he learned the story. There were actually two little girls hiking with the men that day.

44、on.16. Whitson is planning to have a big barbecue _.A. to celebrate their survivalB. to show gratitude to the hikersC. to have a family unionD. to meet and thank the rescue officers【答案】13. D 14. A 15. C 16. B【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要记叙了Whitson一家野营被困,他们巧妙地用求救瓶向外界发出了求救信号,从而得救的故事。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Ther
45、e was no way theyd be able to rappel down(绕绳下降) the rocks as planned.(他们不可能按计划用绳索从岩石上滑下来。)”可知,选项D的描述They had to rappel down the rocks.(他们只好用绳索从岩石上滑下来。)与原文描述不一致,不是Whitsons一家人遇到的麻烦。故选D。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“He yelled, but the sound of the rushing water drowned him out.(他大声喊,但水流的声音淹没了他的声音。)”,根据第六段“Whitson
46、 grabbed it and carved “Help!” on it.(惠特森抓住瓶子,刻下“救命!“在上面。);根据第六段“But he scrawled “We are stuck here at the waterfall. Get help please!” and pushed the note into the bottle, throwing it over the waterfall perfectly.(但他潦草地写着“我们被困在瀑布边了。求求你帮忙!”把纸条塞进瓶子里,把它完美地扔到了瀑布上。)和第八段“they spelled out SOS in white roc
47、ks.(他们用白色的石头拼出求救信号。)”可知,Whitsons一家人自救的顺序是,先大喊,接着在瓶子上刻“救命”,之后把写求救内容的字条塞进瓶子,最后用石头拼出求救信号,所以正确的顺序是:。故选A。【15题详解】句意猜测题。根据第四段“As he considered what to do, Whitson hit on a bit of luck he heard voices comingfrom the other side of the falls. He yelled, but the sound of the rushing water drowned him out.”可知,正
48、当他考虑该怎么办时,Whitson碰上了一点好运气他听到瀑布的另一边传来了说话声。他喊道,但激流的声音淹没了他。接着Whitson计划用向瀑布里丢求救瓶的方式来求救,丢求救瓶这是一种能够被人发现的机会很渺茫的方式,因此Whitson知道这是一次很疯狂大胆的尝试。由此可知,划线部分意思为“这是一次疯狂的尝试”。故选C。【16题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“ Whitson is planning on having a big barbecue to meet the hikers-and thank them.( Whitson正计划举办一场盛大的烧烤会来迎接这些徒步旅行者,并向他们表示感谢
49、。)可知,Whitson准备举办一场盛大的烧烤会来感谢这些徒步者。故选B。DA strong coffee after a poor nights sleep is the kick-start many people need in the morning but new research suggests that it might be best to have a bite to eat first.A study has found that drinking coffee first can have a negative effect on blood sugar control

51、, researchers at the University of Bath got 29 healthy men and women to take part in three different overnight experiments, with at least a week between them.In one, the participants had a normal nights sleep, roughly from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m., and were asked to consume a sugary drink on waking in the
52、morning. They then experienced an interrupted nights sleep, where the researchers woke them every hour for five minutes by sending them text messages to which they had to respond and upon waking were given the same sugary drink.On another night, participants experienced the same sleep interruption,
53、but this time were first given a strong black coffee 30 minutes before consuming the sugary drink.They found that one night of interrupted sleep did not worsen the participants blood sugar and insulin (胰 岛素)responses when compared to the normal nights sleep- although previous research suggested that
54、 losing many hours of sleep or many nights of poor sleep could have a negative effect. However, strong black coffee consumed before breakfast actually increased the blood sugar response by around 50% suggesting that relying on coffee after a bad night to stop feeling sleepy could limit your bodys ab

58、种提神的力量”。故选B。【18题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第五段“In one, and were asked to consume a sugary drink on waking in the morning. They then experienced an interrupted nights sleep and upon waking were given the same sugary drink.”(在一项实验中,参与者在晚上大约11点到早上7点之间正常睡眠,并被要求在早上醒来时喝一杯含糖饮料。然后,他们的睡眠被打断,研究人员每隔一小时就给他们发短信,让他们每隔5分钟回复短信,醒
59、来后给他们喝同样的含糖饮料。)和第六段“On another night, before consuming the sugary drink.”(另一个晚上,参与者经历了同样的睡眠中断,但这一次,在喝含糖饮料之前,他们先喝了一杯浓黑咖啡30分钟。)可知,在三个试验中没有改变的是受试者都喝了含糖饮料。故选C。【19题详解】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“However, strong black coffee consumed before breakfast actually increased the blood sugar response by around 50%”(然而,早餐前喝一杯
60、浓黑咖啡实际上会使血糖反应增加50%左右)可知,早餐前,一杯浓黑咖啡增加了受试者的血糖反应。故选D。20题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第四段“For their study, researchers at the University of Bath got 29 healthy men and women to take part in three different overnight experiments, with at least a week between them.”(在他们的研究中,巴斯大学的研究人员让29名健康的男性和女性参加了三种不同的夜间实验,每次实验至少持续一周。)和

71、source对应,故D项正确。【22题详解】此空是段落首句,根据下文All over the world, the ranges of many bamboo species appear to be reducing, endangering the people and animals that depend upon them.(在世界各地,许多竹子的种类似乎正在减少,危及到依赖它们的人和动物。),再根据上文large areas of bamboo forest have been cleared可知,A项Sadly, this isnt a single story.(可悲的是,这并

73、公顷的竹子是用来生产纸的。)承接上下文,E项Besides, bamboos most immediate significance lies in its economic value.(此外,竹子最直接的意义在于它的经济价值。)该项和上下文都是在讲竹子的用途,故E项正确。【24题详解】根据下文Ray Townsend, vice president of the British Bamboo Society, says, “Some plants are threatened because they cant survive in the habitatthey arent strong
74、 enough or there arent enough of them, perhaps.(英国竹子协会的副主席Ray Townsend说:“一些植物受到了威胁,因为它们无法在栖息地生存它们不够强壮,或者它们的数量不够。)可知,本空讲述竹子现在状况不好, G项Despite bamboos value in economy and ecology, its situation is all the more worrying.(尽管竹子在经济和生态方面有价值,但它的情况更令人担忧。)切题。【25题详解】根据上句提示But bamboo can take care of itself-it

76、 the physical disturbance that is the threat to bamboo.(对竹子的威胁是破坏竹子躯干。)切题,也就是让竹子独自生存就是保护它,对竹子的威胁是砍掉它。第三部分 英语知识运用(共五节,满分85分)第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项 ( A、B、C 和D ) 中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。When I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010, we were in the fallout of the recession (经济衰退).

123、tarted devouring. As we were climbing the rope ladder, Elli prayed like thousand times to show thankfulness of being safe and sound.【解析】【分析】本文主要讲述了人与熊对抗,之后成功脱险的故事。【详解】主人公的感情线变化为:兴奋渴望惊恐放松。剧情线以主人公如何与北极熊周旋并成功摆脱它展开。具体思路如下:由第一段的段首提示句可知:几分钟后,熊又回到营地。接下来可通过场景渲染,描写当时令人颤栗惊恐的画面,例如“Roars and screams pierced the
124、 silence with needle-like shrillness.”这不仅合理地描写了熊的反应,也描绘出让人战栗的场景。要注意与第二段首句的衔接。由第二段的段首提示句可知:此时,直升机到了。如果想要进行续写两段的合理衔接,第一段的结尾可描写成“After thoroughly scrutinizing the area, the bear trotted forward a few steps.”这样可以营造出危急的场景。“我们”看到直升机的到来,感到绝处逢生的喜悦,可以以人物心理描写作为第二段的开头,重点描写喜极而泣的状态,例如“My heart leaped with joy as
125、 I knew we were likely to be saved.”最后,结尾部分需要迅速收束,并说明成功逃脱的结局。【点睛】本文续写内容与原文高度契合,使用了高级词汇和句子,尤其突出的是,场景和心理描写传神到位,如:Roars and screams pierced the silence with needle-like shrillness.,又如He roared repeatedly, shattering what was left of the silence.,这不仅合理地描写了熊的动作,也渲染出让人战栗的场景,让读者有极强的代入感;再如As we were climbing the rope ladder, Elli prayed like thousand times to show thankfulness of being safe and sound.传神地描绘出了Elli对于绝处逢生感到难以言表的喜悦和对救援的感激之情,等等。
