33、s, Tom Bissell taught English as a volunteer in Uzbekistan. He left after seven months, physically broken and having lost his mind.

34、volving a lot more than that . Hence this book, Chasing the Sea: Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia, which talks about a road trip from Tashkent to Karakalpakstan, where millions of lives have been destroyed by the slow drying up of the sea. It is the story of an American travelling to
35、a strange land, and of the people he meets on his way: Rustam, his translator, a lovely 24yearold who picked up his colorful English in California, Oleg and Natasha, his hosts in Tashkent, and a string of foreign aid workers.This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan, made of friendliness and warmth
36、, but also its darker side of society. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders, while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police methods when suspected of drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a mountain funeral(葬礼)followed by a strange drinking party. And in Karakalpakstan,
37、he is saddened by the dust storms, diseases and fishing boats stuck miles from the sea.Mr Bissell skillfully organizes historical insights and cultural references, making his tale a wellrounded picture of Uzbekistan, seen from Western eyes. His judgment and references are decidedly American, as well
38、 as his delicate stomach. As the author explains, this is neither a travel nor a history book, or even a piece of reportage. Whatever it is, the result is a fine and vivid description of the purest of Central Asian traditions.文章大意:本文是记叙文。文章讲述了Bissell写的追逐大海:迷失在中亚帝国的幽灵这本书。这本书是Bissell在乌兹别克斯坦做志愿者后写的,是对乌
39、兹别克斯坦人生活的一个快速观察。24What made Mr Bissell return to Uzbekistan?

40、ance of the Aral Sea”可知,几年后,Bissell仍然被这个国家所吸引。他回到乌兹别克斯坦写了一篇关于咸海消失的文章。因此推断出对这个国家的兴趣让Bissell先生再次返回乌兹别克斯坦。故选B。25What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to? D ADeveloping a serious mental disease.BTaking a guided tour in Central Asia.CWorking as a volunteer in Uzbekistan.DWriting an ar
41、ticle about the Aral Sea.解析:词句猜测题。划线句是第二段首句,that用来指代上文提的事情,因此推断that指代第一段的内容,根据第一段最后一句“A few years later, still attracted to the country, he returned to Uzbekistan to write an article about the disappearance of the Aral Sea(几年后,仍然被这个国家所吸引。他回到乌兹别克斯坦写了一篇关于咸海消失的文章)”可知,that指代写了一篇关于死海消失的文章这件事,故选D。26Which
42、of the following best describes Mr Bissells road trip in Uzbekistan? B ARomantic.BEventful.CPleasant.DDangerous.解析:推理判断题。根据第三段“This is a quick look at life in Uzbekistan, made of friendliness and warmth, but also its darker side of society. In Samarkand, Mr Bissell admires the architectural wonders,
43、 while on his way to Bukhara he gets a taste of police methods when suspected of drug dealing. In Ferghana, he attends a mountain funeral(葬礼)followed by a strange drinking party.And in Karakalpakstan, he is saddened by the dust storms, diseases and fishing boats stuck miles from the sea.”可知,在乌兹别克斯坦的
44、旅途中,Mr Bissell既体会到了友善和温暖,也看到了社会的黑暗面。在撒马尔罕,Mr Bissell欣赏到了的建筑奇观。在前往布哈拉的路上,他因为被怀疑进行毒品交易,他尝到了警察的伎俩。在费尔干纳,他参加了一个山区葬礼,然后参加了一个奇怪的酒会。在卡拉卡尔帕克斯坦,他为沙尘暴、疾病和被困在数英里外的渔船而难过。由此可知,在旅途中,他经历了很多事情。结合选项,B选项(充满事件的,多事的)可以表达此意。故选B。27What is the purpose of this text? A ATo introduce a book.BTo explain a cultural phenomenon.
45、CTo remember a writer.DTo recommend a travel destination.解析:推理判断题。文章第一段提到书的作者的乌兹别克斯坦之行,引出他写的书,接下来三段讲述了他的书追逐大海:迷失在中亚帝国的幽灵的故事内容,是乌兹别克斯坦生活的一个快速观察。因此推断本文的写作目的是介绍一本书。故选A。CMarjorie grew up with a sense of worthlessness.Again and again her father said she would never accomplish anything in life.He told her
46、 she was a loser and that anything she did was sure to end in failure.With these words constantly ringing in her ears she grew up looking for someone who would love her and see her as a person of worth.This led her into relationships that disappointed her,ending in pain yet,which was another proof t

49、f low selfesteem(自尊心)But its easy to overcome.However tough your childhood is,you can still choose to enrich the world every day simply by the way you interact with others and make caring decisions.Whether we contribute anything or not is a choice.Feeling worthless means that youre not doing as well
50、 in the areas that matter to you and therefore you need to try to increase your selfesteem.To feel worthwhile,youll have to really work at it and never give up on yourself.All human beings are capable of adding value to society,including you.Thus there are no excuses for saying things like “Im worth
51、less,stupid,useless” because you have the choice not to be any of these things.文章大意:这是一篇议论文。本文主要讲述了如何获得自我价值,增强自尊心。人们自我价值的认知多源于家庭的认可,以及亲戚,朋友,领导的话语。这些能使得人们增强自己的自我价值感。但是一个人是否有自我价值并不只是由这些话语决定的,而是取决于自己,自己主动对社会的贡献也能够实现自我价值。28From Paragraph 1,we can know that C .AMarjorie was a very confident womanBfathers

D AThey help study other species.BThey protect other urban birds.CThey provide proof of mices harm.DThey inspire a new aircraft.解析:细节理解题。根
62、据文章第一段内容“Pigeons may be considered mice of the sky, but some scientists have found greater value in these urban birds: the blueprint for a new generation of flying machines.”可知一些科学家发现鸽子的价值在于它们是新一代飞行机器的蓝图。故选D项。33What is Dario Floreanos attitude to the research? B ANegative.BPositive.CNeutral.DCritica
63、l.解析:推理判断题。根据文章第二段末尾句内容“This research paves the way for creating more light aircraft, says Dario Floreano, a roboticist in Switzerland not involved in the work.” 可知,在Dario Floreano来看,这项研究为制造更多的轻型飞机铺平了道路,因此可推知他对这项研究的态度是支持的。故选B项。34What do the underlined words “that problem” in paragraph 3 refer to? B
64、APigeons in flight can hardly be observed.BPeople cant make adjustments in birds wings.CIt is difficult for pigeons to make a banked turn.DPigeons fail to control the spread of their wing feathers.解析:词义猜测题。根据划线短语“that problem”可知,that为指示代词,指代前文提及的内容。因此that problem 应是指代前文:“Whats really cool about this
65、 robot is that you can make adjustments in a robotic wing that you could never do when studying flight in a bird”, says David Lentink, an engineer and biologist at Stanford University.( 斯坦福大学的工程师和生物学家David Lentink说:“这个机器人的最酷之处在于,你可以调整机器人的翅膀,而这在研究鸟类飞行时是无法做到的。”)提到的人类无法做到的问题:人类无法像机器人一样在研究鸟类飞行时调整鸟的翅膀。故选
66、B项。35Where does the text probably come from? D AA travel journal.BA travel brochure.CA science fiction.DA science magazine.解析:推理判断题。根据文章的核心主题为“a robotic pigeon”,因此可知,文章应是科普类文章,应是刊登在科普杂志上。故选D项。第二节(共5小题; 每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Color is fundamental in home designsometh

94、blish和it是被动关系,青年节是被建立的,所以该空需用被动语态。根据后面的“in December of 1949”可知,该句时态应为一般过去时。故填was established。57考查动词不定式。该空需用动词不定式作目的状语,动词原形不能作目的状语。故填to honor。58考查冠词。这里表示泛指,一次和平会议,所以需用冠词a。故填a。59考查宾语从句。该句demand后接and连接的两个宾语从句,所以该空需用关系词that来引导宾语从句。故填that。60考查非限制性定语从句。该句缺少主语,而该句的主语是逗号前的Shandong,所以该空需用关系代词which,引导非限制性定语从句
95、,在句中作主语。故填which。61考查词意。根据句意可知,德国把山东转让给了日本是不合法的特权。legal“合法的”,需改为其反义词。故填illegal。62考查名词的数。university是可数名词,来自不同的大学,这里需用名词复数。故填universities。63考查介词。这里的意思是抗议反对这项决定,against为介词,意为“反对”。故填against。64考查非谓语动词。该句逗号前后主语一致,且与make是主动关系,所以需用现在分词。故填making。65考查名词。由the和of可知,该空需填名词,the beginning of.“的开始”,故填beginning。第四部分:

99、, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。 Today is his birthday. Its a special day that Brian feels that he is lucky to share with you, for today he is 70 years old. About a month ago Brian asked Danielle and Nancy if he could do what he wanted to do on his birthday. He didnt know then what he would say, but he d
100、id know that he wanted to share his age in a very public way. Little did he suspect then that he would be sharing not only with his coworkers on the 29th floor, but with the entire region! Revealing age is not something that most people, including himself, feel comfortable doing. People wouldnt thin
101、k of asking their friends, associates or customers how old they are. Why is it then perfectly acceptable to ask a child how old he is? What changes between age 7 and age 70? When and why does age turn from something to be proudly claimed to a topic to be avoided? He believes it happens when a child
102、no longer states his age as a simple fact, just as his youngest son Gavin used to do with mathematical precision(精确性):“I am 6 and 5/12 years old.” Then he instead begins to focus on being seen as older. As parents, people contribute to this mind shift by remarks such as “Act your age” or “Youre olde
103、r than that.” He admits that he said such things to his own children. The child gets the message that age brings status, power and autonomy(自主权). People celebrate important events. Then sometime after age 21 birthday celebrations lose their allure(吸引力). No longer is getting older seen as a badge of
104、distinction. Instead, people become concerned that they are getting old. The very word “old” has negative connotations. What image comes to mind when you hear “old age” “old folks home” “old guard” or “out with the old, in with the new”? “Youre too old” will gradually turn into “Im too old.”He has h

106、he bank. He became an appraisal trainer. Once he came back to New York and met his coworkers from across the nation. He was by far the oldest in this group, and he remembered, “Im too old to start this profession.”Paragraph 2: Twenty years passed. It was his birthday of 50, and he was married with t
107、wo children, who were 13 and 8. Then his wife announced that she would give birth to the third child. She was 48, so this event was completely beyond expectation. He told his friends and announced the news. After he sent the message, the typical response he got was “Im glad its you and not me,” which means “Im too old to be a father again.”
