3、e are a large variety of common plants and flowers that attract beneficial insects.Beneficial insects are not only attracted to plants which are infected with their insect prey, but they also tend to be selective about the plants on which they lay their eggs.Some of these plants may already be in yo
4、ur garden, and others are a worthy addition.Plants with umbrellashaped flowers are very attractive to a number of beneficial insects.Queen Annes lace and dill are examples of plants that produce blooms with an umbrella shape.Green or brown lacewings and ladybugs will also appreciate the same umbrell
5、ashaped flowers.Lacewings prefer to lay their eggs in shady areas that are protected from the weather.Theyll be happy to find some of their favourite plants in a quiet, protected corner of the garden.Lacewings lay eggs on their favorite host plants, with each tiny egg appearing on the end of a thin

9、APlants with umbrellashaped flowers.BPlants with a lot of leaves.CPlants with sweet smells.DPlants with a lot of flowers.A从文章第三段可知，益虫最喜欢开伞状花的植物。4Which of the following belong to beneficial insects?ATachinid flies.BCorn earworms.CCabbage worms. DArmyworms.A从文章第四段可知，寄生蝇的幼虫寄生在害虫体内，因此是益虫。BSalads of the
10、future may still be served in bowls, but their ingredients (成分) might be grown in skyscrapers.Thats the hope of scientists and architects who are setting up a unique plan to feed an increasing population on a planet with limited farmland.“In another 40 years, therell be another three billion people.
11、Thats the problem，” said Dickson Despommier, a professor of public health at Colombia University.One solution is to grow everything from salad grains to main grains yearround in highrise buildings at the hearts of urban centers.This socalled vertical (垂直的) farming could put food within easy reach fo
12、r billions of people while reducing carbon emissions (碳排放) from shipping crops across continents and oceans.“It is based on technologies already in use throughout the world, mainly hightech greenhouses，” Despommier said.For example, many existing greenhouses use hydroponics, a technique for growing
13、crops in smaller spaces using water instead of soil.But for now highrise farming remains just an idea.One challenge is how to build the greenhouses so that layers of crops get enough light to be grown in a vertical structure.Despommier says that architects are already designing buildings to harvest
14、the maximum amount of natural light.Whats more, by using new energy sources such as hydrothermal power (热能) and wind power，these buildings dont necessarily have to look like skyscrapers.Another consideration is creating a vertical farm design that would be economically practical.Despommier said he w
15、as particularly interested in EcoLaboratory.It would be just 12 stories tall and would mix houses with gardens that produce food for the local neighborhood.“This was an attempt at something that seemed practical to a developer，” said project designer Myer Harrell.People might tend the crops，or they
16、might assign the work to outside agricultural firms and later purchase the crops at a local market.Harrell believes breaking ground on Ecolaboratory or a similar small building could be probable within the next few years, as people become more interested in selfsufficiency (自足) such as growing their
17、 own food.【语篇解读】本文介绍了垂直农业将成为未来解决粮食短缺问题的办法，并预测了它的前景。5According to Despommier，vertical farming can Aproduce crops with more nutrientsBprovide enough food for the world populationCreduce farmers cost of growing cropsDbe helpful in slowing down global warmingD细节理解题。从第二段最后一句可知，垂直农业的实施将有助于降低碳排放量，从而有利于减缓大气
18、变暖。6What does Harrell think of EcoLaboratory?AExpensive.BWorkable.CFantastic. DDifficult.B推理判断题。从倒数第二段引述的Harrell的话尤其是“practical”以及最后一段第一句中的“probable”可推知，Harrell认为垂直农业是切实可行的，故选B。7All of the following are advantages of vertical farming EXCEPT that Ait creates yearround crop productionBit makes use of
19、less farmlandsCit is far away from urban centersDit offers opportunities of selfsufficiency for citizensC细节理解题。由第二段倒数第二句和最后一段可知，A、B、D三项都属于垂直农业的优点。由文章第二段倒数第二句可知，垂直农业一般是位于市中心的高层建筑内，故C项表述错误。8Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?AVertical farming: the pride of architectsBSkyscr
20、apers: the base of growing cropsCHighrise farms: the future of foodDGreenhouses：the promise of free carbon emissionsC标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了垂直农业将成为未来解决粮食短缺问题的办法，并预测了它的前景，故C项最符合文章主旨。CWe often hear about how air pollution is changing earth temperatures.New evidence from a mountaintop in China now suggests that
21、pollution can also change the amount of rain and snow falling in some places.Usually, more precipitation (降水量) falls in mountainous places than in flat areas upwind (逆风的) from the mountains.In recent years, however, many mountainous areas in the USA have been getting 25 percent less precipitation th
22、an normal.Mountains that are downwind of cities have experienced the biggest drops.Some British scientists have theorized that pollution moves from the cities into the mountains, affecting rainfall.To get answers, scientists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (耶路撒冷) turned to a mountain in Chin
23、a called Mount Hua.The mountain is 2，060 metres tall and lies about 120 kilometers east of the Chinese city of Xian.Since 1954, meteorologists (气象学家) have been collecting details about rainfall, humidity, and visibility (能见度) in the area.Scientists compared rainfall on Mount Hua with rainfall in the
24、 nearest city, Huayin, on days with varying levels of visibility using these dataWhen the air was clear and people could see 20 km away, the scientists found that 65 percent more rain fell on the mountain than in the city.But when smoggy, allowing only 8 km of visibility through the haze (薄雾), the m
25、ountain received just 20 percent more rain than the city did.The new data support the theory.Some scientists believe that there are other explanations for the numbers.For example, some believe that naturally occurring particles (颗粒) in the air rather than particles produced by pollution are affectin
26、g visibility.This is the first study to observe a connection between rainfall and changes in visibility due to air pollution.However, more studies are needed to confirm the link.9The scientists carrying out the study on Mount Hua are most probably from AChinaBthe USACIsrael (以色列) DBritainC细节理解题。根据第三
27、段中“from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem”可以判断这些科学家最有可能来自以色列。10In the third paragraph “these data” dont include the information about Athe population thereBthe amount of rainfallCthe humidityDthe visibilityA细节理解题。根据上文所提到的“.collecting details about rainfall, humidity, and visibility in the area.”可以判
28、断不包括A项。11From the last paragraph, we can learn that Ascientists havent paid enough attention to weather changesBnot all scientists believe that there is a connection between visibility and rainfallCthe low visibility must be caused by the heavy air pollutionDair pollution may not be the only reason
29、for the change of the visibilityD推理判断题。注意B项的迷惑性，从最后一段可以看出科学家都已知道能见度和降雨量有关系，在这点上没有什么分歧；而对于能见度影响雨量的原因，他们的看法不同，一部分科学家认为是污染导致了能见度降低，而另一部分科学家认为有其他原因，比如说大气中自然存在的颗粒也会导致能见度的降低，由此判断正确答案为D。12What does the passage mainly talk about?AThe factors affecting the amount of rainfall.BThe effect of air pollution on e
30、arth temperatures.CA weather study carried out on a mountain in China.DAir pollution reducing precipitation.D推理判断题。文章第一段提出污染和降水量有关，接着开始写科学家用数据来证明能见度越低(即污染越严重)，降水量越小，可推出D正确。DJezz and Julian Wright have become an Internet hit.The devoted parents created their own childrens programs and even built up t
31、heir own channel.They believed popular programs, such as Power Rangers and In the Night Garden, were “numbing” their two young childrens brains, so they decided to make their own.The creative couple were inspired to make films when Cillian was four and began asking questions about Christmas.They loo
32、ked for programs to help explain, but found nothing suitable.Instead, they created a series of films based on characters called Jack and Holly best friends who learn educational value through their adventures.They proved so popular with their children and friends children that the couple decided to
33、continue.Mr Wright produces and writes the whole series of stories, which are designed for preschool children.Cillian performs the voice of Jack and Mrs Wright performs the voice of Holly, and their friend Graham Jones draws animation (动画制作)Later, they started their own online channel.The 70minute s
34、how can be viewed, only once it is started by parents.The couple believe this will get children to interact (互动) with their parents and discuss the show.Mr Wright said, “Were delighted at the success we have made.We are just fed up with the unnecessary nonsense that childrens heads are filled with.W
35、e want to make something we feel happy about so that our son and daughter could happily sit down to watch them.Jack and Hollys Christmas Countdown fulfills educational material and traditional values.And it can also catch childrens imagination.This is what weve aimed for.”The programs can be current
36、ly downloaded for free, but they also sell DVDs via their website .They set up a “shoestring budget” program, donating all the money they earn from selling the DVDs to childrens hospices across the UK.【语篇解读】Wright夫妇自编自导了适合孩子看的动画节目Jack and Hollys Christmas Countdown，他们甚至还在网上开设了自己的频道。13Cillian was lik
37、ely to be the name of Aa character in a cartoonBa famous actorCJezz s friendDa child of JezzsD推理判断题。根据上下文可知当Cillian 4岁的时候，询问父母关于圣诞节的事情，在Wright夫妇搜寻可以帮助解答孩子问题的节目无果后，Mr Wright才决定为孩子们创办适合他们的节目。因此可推断出Cillian应该是Wright夫妇的孩子。14Jack and Hollys Christmas Countdown Ais filled with educational material and trad
38、itional valuesBis very suitable for the adults to watchCis written and performed by Julian WrightDis popular with people of all the agesA细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段倒数第二句“Jack and Hollys Christmas Countdown fulfills educational material and traditional values.”可知，Mr Wright自制的节目Jack and Hollys Christmas Countdown富
39、含教育意义和传统价值观。15Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage?AMr Wright would like his children to watch cartoons.BPeople can download Mr Wrights programs and get DVDs for free.CFewer and fewer people care about Christmas.DMr Wrights programs get children to communicate more with parents.D
40、细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段第一句“The 70minute show can be viewed, only once it is started by parents.The couple believe this will get children to interact (互动) with their parents and discuss the show.”可知，Mr Wright的自制节目有利于孩子和父母间的互动和交流。第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文内容，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。How to Welco

46、ncidents will remind you that youve gone through difficult situations.【语篇解读】本文叙述的是如何迎接生活中的变化。16E根据上文：首先，停下来，深呼吸，不要做任何事情。所以接下来应该是：然后试着以“不知道”的状态感到轻松自在。First，.，then.首先，然后。答案为E。17G根据上句：然后，考虑你怎样处理这个境况。再根据空格下句：利用过去的经历带给你力量，保留你的能力。此空的意思是：记得这些事情将会提醒你记起你所经历的困难境况。故选G。18D根据下句：然而，当我们处于和平状态时，可能会有更多的可能性。可知上句的意思是：
47、当我们害怕时，我们的选择似乎是有限的。however在这里是关键词，前后是一种转折关系，故选D。19B此空是一个小标题，应该是一个短小精悍的祈使句，在A/B中选择。再根据下句：我们经常把恐惧看作是我们最大的敌人，然而，它们为我们提供了一个自我成长的巨大机会。fears是关键词，可知答案为B项，Befriend your fears.把恐惧当作朋友相待。20C空格前两句是前面问句的回答：让恐惧帮助你而不是伤害你。然后，写下你的感受。可知：你可能会对答案感到惊讶。故选C。第二部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选

60、部很有趣的戏剧，结束的时候遇见了以前的老朋友，然后又一起去跳舞，熬夜很晚让作者非常疲惫。41usually考查副词。在英语中副词通常作状语修饰形容词、副词、动词或整个句子；形容词通常作定语、表语修饰名词、代词。句中使用副词修饰谓语动词read the newspaper，所以要填usually。42interesting考查形容词。句中应该使用形容词修饰代词it。43decision考查名词。形容词性物主代词her的后面要接名词作动词make的宾语，所以要填动词decide的名词形式decision。44By考查介词。介词by意为“到为止”。45begun考查时态。句意：当我们到达剧院的时候，
61、第一幕已经开始了。介词by意为“到为止”，引导时间状语从句时，主句通常使用完成时，所以要填过去分词begun。46who考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是friends，关系代词who指代先行词，引导定语从句并在句中作主语。所以要填who。47staying考查固定搭配。be used to sth./doing sth.意为“习惯于某事/做某事”。48extremely句中使用副词修饰形容词tired，所以要填副词extremely。49an考查不定冠词。不定冠词an修饰单数可数名词evening，evening开头是元音音素，表示泛指。所以要填an。50to enjoy考查不定式。句中不
62、定式to enjoy it作定语修饰名词the energy。第三部分写作(共两节，满分40分)第一节(满分15分)假定你是李华，你校的英国外教 David将于圣诞节举办一场庆祝晚会，现就活动内容在你校学生中收集建议。请你用英语给 David写封邮件，内容包括：1推荐两个有趣的活动；2说明推荐的理由；3希望活动顺利开展。注意：1词数80左右；文章开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数；2可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。Dear David，Im very delighted to hear that Yours，Li Hua【参考范文】Dear David，Im very delighted to h

68、 schoolbags and joined them.But the obstacles were too heavy and high.They failed.Seeing that they could not do much about it, they called the emergency phone numbers.And finally they had no choice but to walk away.The woman alone in the car tried to call for service.While watching the other people
69、leave and finding she needed some service, I realized that the woman would be on her own and felt helpless.She watched her car and the stony obstacles hopelessly.And at that time, I imagined how painful I would be if I were in that situation.So, I asked her what I could do for her.She appreciated my
70、 concern.She said staying with her was fine.She made a call and was told that it would take about 45 minutes for someone to arrive.With a sense of sadness, she said, “How will I spend the boring 45 minutes？” I said to her with smile, “I will stay with you and buy you a cup of tea if you like.” “It i
