38、ous慷慨的;D. traditional传统的。根据文章第一段“Naomi writes poetry for young people and adults, but she is also the author of essays, childrens picture books, songs, and a novel for teenagers . ”(Naomi为年轻人和成年人写诗,但她还是杂文,儿童图画书,歌曲和青少年小说的作者。)可知,Naomi的写作范围很广,因此推断他写了许多作品,是一个“多产的”作家。故选B。25. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“She sees poetry
39、 in the details of everyday life, like the way things smell or taste, the sounds of nature, the voices of her family, and the colors of a flower or a birds wing or a strawberry. ”(她在日常生活的细节中寻找诗歌创作的灵感。例如:事物的气味或味道,大自然的声音,家人的声音以及花,鸟的翅膀或草莓的颜色。)可知,Naomi通过观察她周围的世界得到了写作的想法。故选A。26. 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“She grew u
40、p in St. Louis, Missouri, US; Jerusalem Israel; and San Antonio, Texas, US. ”(她曾在美国密苏里州的圣路易斯,以色列的耶路撒冷以及美国德克萨斯州的圣安东尼奥生活并长大。)及文章第四段中“Today, Naomi has settled down in San Antonio.”(现在,Naomi已经定居在圣安东尼奥。)可知,圣安东尼奥是美国德克萨斯州的城市。因此Naomi现生活在美国德克萨斯州。故选C。C It is becoming more and more important for researchers to
41、 closely observe our sea life, with climate change and overfishing damaging our oceans. However, this is almost impossible since human presence scares the animals. Now, thanks to The Soft Robotic Fish, also called SoFi, researchers may not only be able to keep a close eye on the creatures, but also
42、uncover undersea secrets that have been confusing us for centuries.Built by MITs Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), the snow-white remote-controlled robot closely emulates real fish, complete with a flexible tail and two fins. Though not the first autonomous underwater
43、vehicle (AUV) created to observe the oceans, SoFi solves many of the issues that have hindered (妨碍)the usefulness of previous robots.AUVs traditionally have had to be tied to a boat because radio frequency communications do not work well underwater. To solve the problem, CSAIL director Daniela Rus a
44、nd her team used sound waves which can travel greater distances, allowing drivers using a waterproofed Super Nintendo controller to pilot SoFi from up to 50 feet away. To ensure SoFi can freely move around the ocean, a pump moves water from one balloon-like structure to the other through its soft ru
45、bber tail, while a controller fitted with a battery powers the robot through the ocean, unhindered by propellers (螺旋桨).During test dives in Fijis Rainbow Reef, SoFi moved alongside the sea life at depths of 50 feet for up to 40 minutes at a time, taking high-resolution photos and videos. Even more i
46、mportantly, it was able to do so without causing any disturbance. The researchers say sometimes the fish would swim alongside the strange-looking robo- fish out of curiosity, while at other times they appeared completely unaware of its existence.While SoFi currently only records videos, future versi
47、ons will include sensors. For us, this fish is magical, says Rus. “We imagine someday it might help us uncover more mysteries from the amazing underwater world that we know so little about.27. Why was SoFi created?A. To protect fish from being caught.B. To stop oceans from being polluted.C. To learn
48、 about the underwater worldD. To solve the issues AUVs have found.28. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “emulates” in Paragraph2?A. Feeds.B. Catches.C. Protects.D. Imitates.29. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. The development of AUVs.B. Working principles of SoFi.C. H
49、ow AUVs are used underwater.D. SoFis contribution to fish protection.30. What is the main advantage of SoFi?A. It will not scare real fish.B. It can record videos.C. It is equipped with sensors.D. It cannot be seen by real fish.【答案】C D B A【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家成功地研制出机器鱼SoFi,使得研究人员开始能够密切关注海洋生物。27. 推理
50、判断题。根据第一段中的“it is becoming increasingly important for researchers to closely observe our sea life(对于研究人员来说,密切观察我们的海洋生物变得越来越重要。) 和thanks to The Soft Robotic Fish, also called SoFi, researchers may not only be able to keep a close eye on the creatures , but also uncover undersea secrets that have been
51、 confusing us for centuries.”(现在,借助机器鱼SoFi,研究人员不仅可以密切关注这些生物,而且还可以解开使我们困惑了几个世纪的海底秘密。)可以推知,研发机器鱼SoFi是为了帮助科学家近距离观察海洋生物,了解海底奥秘。故选C。28. 词句猜测题。根据第二段中划线词后面的“complete with a flexible tail and two fins”(配有灵活的尾巴和两个“鳍”)可知,机器鱼SoFi是“模拟”真实的鱼类而制作的。因此划线词的意思是“模仿、模拟”。故选D。29. 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“To ensure SoFi can freely mov
52、e around the ocean, a pump moves water from one balloon-like structure to the other through its soft rubber tail, while a controller fitted with a battery powers the robot through the ocean, unhindered by propellers (螺旋桨).”可知,为了确保SoFi可以在海洋中自由移动,泵将水通过其柔软的橡胶尾巴从一个气球状结构移动到另一个气球状结构,而装有电池的控制器控制SoFi通过海洋而不被
53、螺旋桨阻止。因此,本主要介绍了为了确保SoFi可以在海洋中自由移动采取的相应的措施,由此可知道机器鱼SoFi是如何在水下工作的,也就是B项(机器鱼SoFi的工作原理)。故选B。30. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Even more importantly, it was able to do so without causing any disturbance. The researchers say sometimes the fish would swim alongside the strange-looking robo-fish out of curiosity, while a
54、t other times they appeared completely unaware of its existence. (更重要的是,机器鱼SoFi能够靠近鱼类拍摄照片和视频而不会引起任何干扰。研究人员说,有时候出于好奇这些鱼会和看起来奇怪的机器鱼一起游泳,而在其他时候,它们似乎完全不知道它的存在。)可知,在机器鱼SoFi工作的时候,它不会打扰到鱼类的活动即不会吓走真正的鱼,这是它的主要优势。故选A。DEven a small increase in light activity such as washing dishes, or walking around the house
55、might help prevent an early death among older adults, researchers say.“It is important for elderly people, who might not be able to do much moderate intensity(强度)activity, that just moving around and doing light intensity activity will have strong effects and is beneficial,” said Ulf Ekelund, who le
56、d the research.Published in the BMJ, the latest research was based on a review of eight studies involving a total of more than 36,000 people with an average age of almost 63 years. Participants were followed for five to six years; 2,149 deaths were recorded. All of the studies involved monitoring th
57、e physical activity of individuals who had activity trackers, and the studies did not rely on self-reporting, which, the experts noted, could be unreliable.For each study participants were split into four equal-sized groups, based on the total amount of time spent actively, and the risk of death ass
58、essed, taking into account factors such as age, sex, body mass index, and socioeconomic status. This was then repeated for an amount of activity at different levels of intensity. The results were analyzed together to give an overview. The team found a greater amount of activity was linked to a lower
59、 risk of death. The results held for different intensities of activity. The team said the study supported the message “sit less and move more and more often”.However, the study had limitations. It only looked at the situation for middle age and older adults, most of whom lived in the US or Europe, a
60、nd some of the effect could be due to those people with a higher risk of death being less likely to be related to physical activity. Physical activity levels also were only measured over one period of time.Dr Gavin Sandercock, from the University of Essex, said the results suggested moving more brou
61、ght bigger benefits than simply reducing the time of sitting, another factor measured in the study.“This study reinforces the important message that getting the least active people to do even just a little bit more physical activity can have important public health benefits,” he said.31. Which of th
62、e following may Ulf Ekelund suggest elderly people do?A. lying on the sofa reading.B. Doing a little gentle gardening.C. Going out to hike with friends.D. Playing basketball sometimes.32. What can we know about the research?A. It lasted about 8 years.B. The researchers admitted they used fake data.C
63、. The participants didnt include younger people.D. Some participants died because of doing too much physical activity33. What is the authors attitude towards the researchers conclusion?A. DoubtfulB. CriticalC. SupportiveD. Neutral34. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined wor
64、d “reinforces” in the last paragraph?A. HighlightsB. ConveysC. ExcludesD. Denies【答案】B C D A【语篇解读】本文是说明文。研究发现轻微活动能帮助预防老年人过早死亡,对老年人健康很有好处。31. 推理判断题。根据第二段Ulf Ekelund 建议的It is important for elderly people, who might not be able to do much moderate intensity(强度)activity, that just moving around and doing
65、 light intensity activity will have strong effects and is beneficial.对于无法做中等强度活动的老年人来说,轻度活动对健康很有好处。四个选项中Doing a little gentle gardening属于轻度活动,其他不是。故选B。32. 细节理解题。根据第三段Published in the BMJ, the latest research was based on a review of eight studies involving a total of more than 36,000 people with an
66、average age of almost 63 years.可知参与调查的36,000人平均年龄是63岁,由此可知不包括年轻人。故选C。33. 推理判断题。根据文中researchers say , said Ulf Ekelund, who led the research. Dr Gavin Sandercock, from the University of Essex, said, he said.等内容可知,作者只是陈述了研究结果和专家观点,并未掺杂自己观点,作者对研究结果是中立观点,不带感情色彩。故选D。34. 猜测词义题。第一段Even a small increase in
67、light activity such as washing dishes, or walking around the house might help prevent an early death among older adults, 陈述研究结果,小的轻微活动能帮助预防老年人过早死亡。最后一段This study reinforces the important message that getting the least active people to do even just a little bit more physical activity can have importa
68、nt public health benefits.提到的 getting the least active people to do even just a little bit more physical activity can have important public health benefits即让最不爱运动的人多做一点点体育活动,对公众健康也有重要的好处,这是对研究结果的进一步强调,由此推知画线词语表示“强调”,与Highlights同义,故选A。第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10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。Wha
69、t does it mean to be intelligent?It seems that everyone goes to college now, whether or not they find themselves interested in studying something long term. Even though I know there are different ways to be intelligent, I struggle due to societys influence, which maintains that intelligence is quant
70、ifiable (可量化的) and that academic intelligence is one and the only.Where do IQ tests come into play when one considers intelligence? Do they fall closest to priority when considering this unquantifiable concept? Intelligence simply cannot be reduced to an IQ test, which are not effective. While desig
71、ned to measure “intelligence,” all they measure are biological developments that can change as one grows. 35. There are many factors that can indicate an intelligent being, such as academic intelligence, emotional intelligence, and worldly intelligence. For instance, if a student realizes that they
72、havent studied appropriately for an exam, he or she would have the ability to acknowledge that, and then make revisions to his or her study habits accordingly. 36. Emotional intelligence is the intelligence that fosters self-awareness, self-reflection, and self-improvement.37. We cannot function wit
73、hout forming relationships and communication. This proves that being aware of oneself and reflecting in order to further better communication skills is an evidence to intelligence. Where would you be if you were a terrible communicator, unaware, and unwilling to improve, but academically thriving?Em
74、otional intelligence is what surpasses (超越) those who are hard-headed. Those who maintain academic intelligence may still be a bit dull and unaware of themselves. 38. Even as a college student, there are certain skills such as teamwork and communication that require awareness and an open mind in ord
75、er to further their growth.39. Academia is not only pictured and taught unfairly, or even close to what intelligence is if you were to quantify it. If you want to strive for mental growth, and maintain self-awareness through self-reflection, you can apply that to any intelligence category.A. All of
76、life is communicatory.B. Specifically, this is emotional intelligence.C. Intelligence is determined by many factors.D. Stubbornness is a barrier towards communication.E. In fact, there are many with low IQ scores that are intelligent.F. Some connections exist between intelligence and communication.G
77、. So there is academic intelligence, emotional intelligence, and worldly intelligence.【答案】E B A D C【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。文章主要论述智商测试结果不能完全反应人的智力,因为人的智力除了学术智力,还包括情商智力和世俗智力等。只有具备各种智力人们才能正常的生活和工作。35. 前文Where do IQ tests come into play when one considers intelligence?(考虑智力的时候,智商测试在哪儿起作用呢?)与E. In fact, there are
78、many with low IQ scores that are intelligent.(事实上,有很多智商低但很聪明的人)首尾呼应,表明智力不仅仅表现在智商测试得分上。故选E项。36. 前文For instance, if a student realizes that they havent studied appropriately for an exam, he or she would have the ability to acknowledge that, and then make revisions to his or her study habits accordingl
79、y.(例如,如果一个学生意识到他们没有为考试进行适当的学习,他或她有能力承认这一点,然后相应地修改他们的学习习惯)与B. Specifically, this is emotional intelligence.(具体来说,这是情商智力)承接自然,选项中的this指代前文“承认自己没有适当学习,并做出相应改变”的行为。故选B项。37. 下文We cannot function without forming relationships and communication.(如果不建立关系和交流,我们就无法正常工作)与A. All of life is communicatory.(所有的生命都
80、是交流的)话题相同,都强调了交流对于生命体的重要性。故选A项。38. 前文Those who maintain academic intelligence may still be a bit dull and unaware of themselves(那些坚持学术智力的人很有可能有点迟钝,并且对自己认识不够清楚)与D. Stubbornness is a barrier towards communication.(固执是交流的障碍)承接自然,选项中的stubbornness就是上文中提到的坚持学术智力的人。故选D项。39. G. So there is academic intellig
81、ence, emotional intelligence, and worldly intelligence.(因此,有学术智力,情感智力和世俗智力)用来总结上文提到的各种智力,且照应第三段提到的There are many factors that can indicate an intelligent being, such as academic intelligence, emotional intelligence, and worldly intelligence.(有很多因素可以表明一个智力个体的存在,如学术智力,情商智力和世俗智力)。故选G项。第三部分:书面表达(共两节,32分
82、)第一节 阅读表达(共4小题;第1、2题各2分,第3题3分,第4题5分,共12分)阅读下面的短文并用英语回答问题(请注意各小题后面的词数要求)。 Nowadays the cost of a new car has fallen in real terms so that it is cheaper than ever to own one, and better road conditions have also attracted more drivers. The result is overcrowding on the road system, which is one of the
83、 problems the local governments are faced with. When people travel to other towns, the problem might be relieved by getting them to park outside the town. Buses could be provided to take them into the centre. These Park and Ride projects are increasingly popular in the UK. At Southerton, for example
84、, a councilfunded project led to a 15% drop in city centre traffic over five months. What the council found, though, was that the project proved somewhat unpopular with shop owners in the area outside the centre. Many of their shops relied on passing car drivers for some of their trade. As the numbe
85、r of people driving past dropped, so did their incomes. Making car driving expensive is another way of encouraging people to use public transport more, or encouraging people to use their cars less to relieve the problem of overcrowding. Road taxes tend to mean that people use their cars less. Fining
86、 drivers who are in areas where cars have been banned can also tend to encourage them to leave their cars behind. However, one thing has to be got right for any solution to succeed. If we expect people to give up the habit of driving, we must give them an alternative they can rely on. Constant delay
87、s, unannounced changes to the timetable and sudden cancellations all discourage people from using public transport. People will only see it as a real choice if the buses and trains are on time. 40What causes overcrowding on the road system according to Paragraph 1? (no more than 12 words) 41What sho
88、uld people do when travelling to other towns according to the Park and Ride projects? (no more than 14 words) 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.Not only are some shop owners happy about the project, also constant delays, unannounced c
