23、ironmental issues that this has caused over the years, it is highly suggested to consider recycling or other ways.Donate Your Appliances to an OrganizationThe first thing that most people think about when they hear about donating is giving old things to a charity or an organization.However, you shou
24、ld ensure that your appliances still work.Not only do you put repair costs on the charity, but you are also using the organization as a way to get rid of your junk.Find a New OwnerThere are many people that could greatly benefit from your used appliances, including new couples, students, povertystri
25、cken families, and many others.Similar to donating to a charity, it is important to ensure that your appliances are in good working order, and if they are not, you can put up an ad definitely stating that you are giving away the broken appliances for free.Contact a Recycling CompanyBefore you do rec
26、ycle your old items, there are several things that you should be aware of.First of all, you need to know about how refrigerator freezers, and air conditioners are recycled, as often these must be covered.According to your city, you may be required to take off the doors of your appliances to protect
27、children or animals from getting trapped inside and getting hurt.Donate Your Appliances as Scrap (废品) MetalIf your old appliances are completely broken, it might be best to just give them away as scrap metal.Fortunately, there are many different organizations and companies that need as much metal as
28、 they can get.Additionally, you wont have to do any of the scrapping or tearing apart by yourselves, as professionals take care and effort in removing harmful elements.文章大意:这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四种处理旧家电的方法,以及它们的注意事项。21Whats the similarity between the first two ways?_B_AThe appliances are given away for fre
29、e.BThe appliances should be better in good condition.CThe appliances will be sent to organizations.DThe harmful parts of appliances must be got rid of 解析:细节理解题。根据Donate Your Appliances to an Organization部分下的“However, you should ensure that your appliances still work.(但是,你应该确保你的设备还能工作。)”和Find a New O
30、wner部分下的“Similar to donating to a charity, it is important to ensure that your appliances are in good working order(与捐赠给慈善组织相似,确保你的设备还能运转是非常重要的)”可知,这两种处理旧家电的要求都是设备还能正常运转。 BThe appliances should be better in good condition.(设备最好情况良好。)符合以上说法。故选B项。22If we want to recycle our old appliances, what should
31、 we consider?_C_AWhat kind of appliances can be recycled.BWho can really benefit much from them.CWhether they will cause some danger or harm.DWhich is the most suitable recycling company.解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二部分的“According to your city, you may be required to take off the doors of your appliances to protec
32、t children or animals from getting trapped inside and getting hurt.(根据你所在城市的要求,你可能被要求拆掉设备的门,目的是保护小孩或者动物不会被困在里面受到伤害。)”可知,在回收利用电器前,我们应该考虑它们是否会对小孩或动物带来危险或造成伤害。CWhether they will cause some danger or harm.(它们是否会造成危险或伤害。)符合以上说法。故选C项。23What can you do if you want to donate your completely broken appliance
33、s?_B_ATear them apart on your own.BGive them to companies that need metal.CRemove the harmful elements of them yourself.DMake sure companies that want the metal pay the delivery fee.解析:细节理解题。根据最后一部分的“If your old appliances are completely broken, it might be best to just give them away as scrap metal
34、.Fortunately, there are many different organizations and companies that need as much metal as they can get.(如果你的旧家电已经完全坏了,它最好作为废铁捐赠掉。幸运的是,有很多不同的需要大量的废铁组织和公司。)”可知,如果旧家电已经完全坏了,我们就把它捐赠给需要大量铁的公司或者组织。BGive them to companies that need metal.(把他们送给需要铁的公司。)符合以上说法。故选B项。BBy the end of the century, if not soon
35、er, the worlds oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate, according to a new study.At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms (海洋微生物) called phytoplankton.Because of the way light reflects off the organisms, these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the o
36、cean surface.Ocean colour varies from green to blue, depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton.Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas, while reducing it in other spots, leading to changes in the oceans appearance.Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface, whe
37、re they pull carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) into the ocean while giving off oxygen.When these organisms die, they bury carbon in the deep ocean, an important process that helps to regulate the global climate.But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the oceans warming trend.Warming changes key characteristics of t
38、he ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth, since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow, but also nutrients.Stephanie Dutkiewicz, a scientist in MITs Center for Global Change Science, built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century.In a world that
39、warms up by 3 , it found that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur.The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer.But in some waters, such as those of the Arctic, a warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton, and these are
40、as will turn greener.“Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing”, she said, “but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”And why does that matter? Phytoplankton are the base of the food web.If certain kinds begin to disappear from the ocean,Dutkiewicz said, “it will change th
41、e type of fish that will be able to survive.” Those kinds of changes could affect the food chain.Whatever colour changes the ocean experiences in the coming decades will probably be too gradual and unnoticeable, but they could mean significant changes.“Itll be a while before we can statistically sho
42、w that the changes are happening because of climate change.” Dutkiewicz said, “but the change in the colour of the ocean will be one of the early warning signals that we really have changed our planet.”文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。调查表明,由于气候变暖,全球的海洋将会变得更蓝、更绿。24What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?_B_AThe
43、various patterns at the ocean surface.BThe cause of the changes in ocean colour.CThe way light reflects off marine organisms.DThe efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.解析:段落大意题。文章第一段点题:由于气候变暖,全球的海洋将会变得更蓝、更绿。第二段介绍由于光从生物体反射的方式,这些浮游植物在海洋表面形成了五颜六色的图案;气候变化又使得这些浮游植物在某些区域加速生长而在其他地方有所减少,导致海洋表面的颜色变化。由此
44、可知前两段讲了海洋颜色变化的原因。故B项正确。25What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?_A_ASensitive.BBeneficial.CSignificant.DUnnoticeable.解析:词义猜测题。后一句提到,气候变暖改变了海洋的主要特点并能影响浮游植物的生长,因为它们要生长不仅仅需要阳光和二氧化碳,也需要营养。由此可知,这些浮游植物对海洋变暖很敏感。故A项正确。26What can we learn from the passage?_D_APhytoplankton pl
45、ay a declining role in the marine ecosystem.BDutkiewiczs model aims to project phytoplankton changes.CPhytoplankton have been used to control global climate.DOceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.解析:细节理解题。由文章第四段信息“But in some waters,such as those of the Arctic,a warming will make conditi
46、ons riper for phytoplankton,and these areas will turn greener.”可知浮游植物多的区域海水会变得更绿。故D项正确。27What is the main purpose of the passage?_C_ATo assess the consequences of ocean colour changes.BTo analyse the composition of the ocean food chain.CTo explain the effects of climate change on oceans.DTo introduc
47、e a new method to study phytoplankton.解析:主旨大意题。文章主要论述了随着气候变暖,全球的海洋将会变得更蓝、更绿,即气候变化对海洋有影响。故C项正确。CA deal has been signed to turn byproducts from a Scottish distillery (酿酒厂) into fuel for cars.In what is declared to be a world first, the Tullibardine distillery in Perthshire has linked up with a spinout
48、 company from Napier University in Edinburgh.They plan to use bacteria to feed on the “leftovers” from the whisky (威士忌酒) making process.This will produce butanol which can be used to fuel vehicles.More than 90% of the stuff that comes out of a whisky distillery is not whisky.It is leftovers like dra
49、ff and pot ales (酒糟)both produced in the early stages of the process.They are high in sugar and are currently used for things like fertiliser and cattle feed.Napier Universitys Biofuel Research Centre (BRC) has already shown that the right bacteria can feed on those byproducts to produce butanola di

51、partnership with Tullibardine is an important step in the development of a business which combines two important Scottish industrieswhisky and renewables.This project shows that creative use of existing technologies can utilize resources on our doorstep to benefit both the environment and the econom
52、y.Douglas Ross, managing director of Tullibardine, which spends 250,000 disposing of its byproducts every year, said “We are delighted to be partnering Celtic Renewables in this creative business, the obvious benefits of which are environmental.It takes a cost to us and turns it into something that
53、has social as well as commercial value.”The project is being supported by a grant (拨款) from the Scottish governments Zero Waste Scotland initiative.Celtic Renewables said it eventually aimed to build a processing plant in Scotland, with the hope of building an industry that could be worth 60m a year
54、.文章大意:本文讲述的是一种新型的环保技术:把酿酒厂里的draff and pot ales用来代替汽油。28.According to the passage,_C_ will be used to take the place of petrol.AwhiskyBwhisky leftoversCbutanol Ddraff and pot ales解析:细节理解题。根据文章第三段“the right bacteria can feed on those byproducts to produce butanola direct replacement for vehicle fuel”可
55、知butanol是直接用来代替汽油的物质。故C正确。29.How do people deal with whisky leftovers at present?_D_AThey throw them away.BThey use them to feed people.CThey use them to feed bacteria.DThey use them for crops or cattle.解析:细节理解题。根据文章第三段“They are high in sugar and are currently used for things like fertiliser and cat
56、tle feed.”现在酿酒厂生成的draff and pot ales被用作肥料和牛群的食物。故D正确。30.What does the underlined word “utilize” in the fourth paragraph probably mean?_A_AMake use of.BGet rid of.CUse up.DFind out.解析:词义猜测题。本文讲述的是人们使用酿酒厂生产的draff and pot ales来替代汽油给汽车提供动力。本句“This project shows that creative use of existing technologies
57、 can utilize resources on our doorstep to benefit both the environment and the economy.”中的utilize表示利用这些资源。故A正确。31.Which of the following categories does this passage belong to?_B_aHealthbScience cFooddNatureeEnvironmentfBusinessAb,c,e Bb,e,fCa,b,f Da,b,c解析:推理判断题。本文讲述的是一种新型的环保技术:把酿酒厂里的draff and pot a
58、les用来代替汽油。促进经济发展,属于科学、环保以及生意类内容。故B正确。DBritish shoppers buy 2.15 million tonnes of clothing and shoes annually,yet UK citizens have an estimated 30 billion worth of unused clothing gathering dust at the back of the wardrobe (衣柜)But new technology could see the end of that,with the garments themselves
59、 giving owners a gentle reminder of their existence.“Smart clothes” could help us clear out our wardrobes by sending messages or tweeting us if they havent been worn for a good while.If these alerts are ignored,the garments will get in touch with a clothing charity and ask to be reused,with an organ

61、ing washable contactless technology.Mark Brill,senior lecturer at Birmingham City University,said,“Think of the surprise when an owner suddenly receives bids for items that they didnt know were in their wardrobe.” “The connected wardrobe is a practical,pleasant concept to encourage people to think a
62、bout their clothing consumption.Finally,I hope it will encourage more appropriate fashion consumption,” he added.“Perhaps we can even move away from the idea of ownership of clothing.When weve worn them enough,the items will pass themselves on to their next keeper.”It follows in the footsteps of the
63、 “Internet of Things”a concept that sees ordinary household items connecting to the Internet in order to share information.From adjusting your alarm clock to monitoring the temperature of your home,the Internet is changing the way we live.Now,the “Internet of Clothes” will see that neglected garment

65、能衣服”“智能衣柜”,而这一科技发明可以帮助人们更好地管理自己的衣服,树立正确的消费观念。32What does the author say about “smart clothes”?_D_AThey may be donated on eBay.BThey have gained in popularity.CThey give warnings if worn out.DThey may be recycled if long forgotten.解析:推理判断题。综合文章内容尤其是第一段中的“unused clothing gathering dust at the back of
66、the wardrobe (衣柜)”和第二段中的“Smart clothes could help us clear out our.if they havent been worn for a good while.”“ask to be reused”可推知,“智能衣服”会在被搁置许久时发信息提醒主人,如果主人不理会这样的提醒,那么“智能衣服”就会和慈善组织联系,要求被重新使用。33How does Mark Brill find the “connected wardrobe”?_B_AIt helps people buy cheaper clothes.BIt contributes
67、 to right consumption attitudes.CIt changes peoples shopping habits.DIt improves peoples consumer confidence.解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“the connected wardrobe to encourage more suitable clothes consumption”及第四段中的“The connected wardrobe is a practical,pleasant concept to encourage people to think about their c
68、lothing consumption.Finally,I hope it will encourage more appropriate fashion consumption”可知,Mark Brill认为“智能衣柜”有助于鼓励人们树立正确的消费观。故选B。34What is indicated in the last paragraph?_A_AClothes can be a source of information.BWeather affects the connected wardrobe.CClothes are sold online at a low price.DThe
69、 Internet is a platform to share items.解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Clothes will keep track of other information such as who owned them previously,as well as how much they originally cost.”可知,衣服可以成为信息的来源。故选A。35Whats the authors attitude to the new technology?_C_ACritical.BUninterested.CApproving.DSkeptical.解析:

76、ories.文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。介绍了大自然的水循环和人类参与的水循环。文章让我们了解到人类务必要以负责任的态度科学用水,因为良好的水循环是人类的福音。解析:36由空前面一句话可知,我们所有的水都来自海洋;由空后面一句话可知,水蒸气蒸发凝固形成云。由此可推断出设空处应是对空格前一句话进行解释说明,且空后面一句话中的vapor恰好与选项E中的vapor构成了词汇上的衔接。此处表示太阳使海水变热,水蒸发变成水蒸气。37空前面部分主要讲述了海水的循环过程,同时该空出现在段尾,那么该处通常应填具有结论性和概括性的语句,即这就被称作水循环。同时,设空处还起了一个过渡句的作用,第二段首句告诉我们,
77、人类也参与水循环的活动,其中的water cycle 与选项C中的water cycle构成了词汇上的衔接。38本段首句提到人类也参与了水循环活动,设空处前面一句话告诉我们人类建造水库以便为家庭和工厂存水,这句话是对首句内容的举例说明。根据常识可知,家庭和工厂产生的废水和污水最终又流回到海洋中,这样便构成了水循环。39空前一句话说全世界的人们在日常生活中都在使用自来水,空后面部分讲述人类建造的水库改变了地形也影响了野生生物,人们不了解抽取太多的地下水可能会改变地球表面的状况。这些是使用自来水带来的问题,选项中只有B项涉及这一问题。B选项起承上启下的作用。40空后面一句话提到良好的水循环是人类的
78、福音,由此可推断出空处应该是提出建议,选项A符合上下文逻辑。此处表示我们应以负责的方式用水,这很重要。第三部分:英语知识运用(共两节,满分30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A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。On a weekday evening, Jane was at home wondering about their dinner plans for the evening when she was unexpectedly _41.D_by an urgent call from her sister
