B
26、Sent out.CDelivered. DGave back.答案D词义猜测题。文章倒数第二段中讲到小女孩一家努力找到失主的联系方式并把重要文件物归原主。这个善举使作者一家不仅找回了文件,而且重新找回了对人的信任。故D项“归还”正确。A.展示;B.发送;C.递送。12Which of the following can be the best title for the text?AFrom India to Australia.BLiving in a New Country.CTurning Trash to Treasure.DIn Search of New Friends.答案C主

Animals cant talk,but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal expert
28、s may not call it lying,but they do agree that many animals,from birds to chimpanzees,behave dishonestly to fool other animals.Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals.For example,a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt
29、in order to protect its young.When a predator (猎食动物) gets close to its nest,the plover leads the predator away from the nest.How? It pretends to have a broken wing.The predator follows the“hurt” adult,leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.Another kind of bird,the scrub jay,buries its food so it al
30、ways has something to eat.Scrub jays are also thieves.They watch where others bury their food and steal it.But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them.So they go back later,unbury the food,and bury it again somewhere else.Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies with

They dont make nests.Instead,they get into other birds nests secretly.Then they lay their eggs and fly away.When the baby birds come out,their adoptive parents feed them.Chimpanzees,or chimps,can also be sneaky.After a fight,the losing chimp will give its hand to the other.W
32、hen the winning chimp puts out its hand,too,the chimps are friendly again.But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winners hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways,too.When chimps find food that they love,such as bananas,it is natural for them to cry out.Then other
33、chimps come running.But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food.That way,other chimps dont hear them,and they dont need to share their food.As children,many of us learn the saying“You cant fool Mother Nature.” But maybe you cant trust her,either.【语篇解读】动物不会说话,但是它们会以其他方式说谎吗?它们会
34、以其身体和行为表现说谎吗?动物专家认为很多动物,从鸟类到黑猩猩,有时候在行为上表现不诚实,用来欺骗其他动物。这样做常常可以帮助它们幸免于难。13A plover protects its young from a predator by _Agetting closer to its youngBdriving away the adult predatorCleaving its young in another nestDpretending to be injured答案D细节理解题。由第二段第三、四、五句可知,鸻看到猎食动物靠近鸟巢,它假装翅膀受伤,猎食动物紧跟着它,离开幼鸟所在的巢。
35、故选D项。14By“Chimpanzees,or chimps,can also be sneaky”(Paragraph 5),the author means _Achimps are ready to attack othersBchimps are sometimes dishonestCchimps are jealous of the winnersDchimps can be selfish too答案B推理判断题。由黑体字后面的内容可知,两只黑猩猩打架后,失败的那只会主动向获胜的那只握手言和,但动物专家曾经发现一只失败的黑猩猩握住获胜者的手后,又开始打起来。从而可推断出黑猩猩有
36、时候是不诚实的,故选B。15Which of the following is true according to the passage?ASome chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others.BThe losing chimp won the fight by taking the winners hand.C.Cuckoos fool their adoptive parents by making no nests.DSome clever scrub jays often steal their food back.答案A
37、推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第四、五句可知,一些聪明的黑猩猩有时候发现食物时小声叫,这样的话其他的黑猩猩听不见叫声,就不会过来和它们分享食物。16Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?ADo animals lie?BDoes Mother Nature fool animals?CHow do animals learn to lie?DHow does honesty help animals survive?答案A主旨大意题。通读全文内容可知,各种不同的动物在行为上表现不诚实各有各的原因。干扰项为C:动物
38、是如何学会撒谎的?文章内容着重点在于动物撒谎的目的而不是学习撒谎的过程。故C项可以排除。正确答案为A。Passage 5体裁:议论文话题:社会文化词数:381时间:7(2014湖北卷,B)Londons newest skyscraper (摩天大楼) is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build.At a height of almost 310 metres,it is the tallest building in Europe.The Shard has completely changed the

44、shows how London is becoming more unequal.Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel.But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London.So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.Th
45、e Shard now dominates the London skyline.It is not certain,however,that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city.【语篇解读】文章论述了伦敦新的摩天大楼the Shard的建造所带来的争议。有人认为它是英国传统文化的传承,是一项很好的变化。但也有批评者认为Shard造成了社会(贫富) 分化。17Londons newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of

61、of the century答案B推理判断题。根据第二段第一、二句可知答案为B项。A项表达的内容过于绝对,故被排除;第四段第一句为C项内容,不属于推断范畴,故被排除;根据倒数第二段可知解决食品短缺的方法是将粮食产量提高70%以满足到本世纪中叶增长的23亿人口的需要,而满足这一需要的一个重要部分是尽量减少对粮食的浪费,由此可见注意粮食浪费问题并不能完全解决食品短缺问题,故排除D项。3What is the best title of the passage?AThe World Economic and Social Survey 2013BCity Population Will Increa
62、se to 9 BillionCCities Need to Cooperate with Rural AreasDThe World Is Not Prepared to Deal with the Fast Growth of Cities答案D主旨大意题。作者在第一段第一句提出了文章的主题,故答案为D项。其他选项均为文章中的其中一项内容,并不能概括文章主题,故全被排除。4The passage is chosen from _Aa textbook Ba travel guideCa novel Da newspaper答案D推理判断题。文章介绍了快速的城市化进程给我们带来了很多问题,属
