12、took out his mobile phone and called the emergency services.“My friend is dead!” he cried to the operator. “What can I do？”The operator said，“Dont worry. First, make sure hes dead.” There was a silence, and then a shot was heard. Bang! The hunters voice came back on the line. He said, “OK, now what?
13、”This is perhaps amusing. Culturally, it depends on us knowing that often hunters are not considered to be very intelligent people, and that often they are quite violent.

20、ms, but I wasnt there to learn to write, read or even speak. When it was my turn to read, I wanted to hide.

68、id not carry the weight of a structure. This development meant that suddenly much taller buildings were possible, and they could be built quickly. Skyscrapers had been born”可知，19世纪晚期钢架的发明意味着墙不能承载结构的重量，这一发展意味着更高的建筑成为可能，而且它们可以很快建成，摩天大楼就此诞生了，由此可知，钢架的使用使建造摩天大楼成为可能，故A项正确。【13题详解】D推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The constru
69、ction of the Shard, the tallest building in London and in the entire European Union, has been highly controversial.

70、ot be built near to historic sites.”可知，夏德大厦是伦敦乃至整个欧盟最高的建筑，其建造一直备受争议，伦敦塔是伦敦最古老、最著名的地标之一，许多人认为这样的现代建筑不应该建在历史遗址附近，由此可知，大多数伦敦人对夏德大厦的建造持批评的态度，故D项正确。【14题详解】C推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The Empire State Building was finished in 1931, very soon after Wall Street crashed. The Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur were built in
71、1988, just after the Asian financial crisis. The Burj Khalifa in Dubai was opened in early 2010, and shortly afterwards the emirates（酋长国的）investment company collapsed.”可知，1931年，在华尔街崩盘后不久，帝国大厦竣工；吉隆坡的双子塔建于1988年，就在亚洲金融危机之后；迪拜的哈利法塔在2010年初开放，不久之后，迪拜的投资公司倒闭，本段用这三个典型例子证明夏德大厦的开放不会给伦敦带来经济的繁荣，故C项正确。【15题详解】D主旨
72、大意题。通读全文，特别是根据最后一段中的“The Burj Khalifa might be the tallest structure in the world currently but its status is under threat from numerous planned buildings around the world.”可知，迪拜的哈利法塔可能是目前世界上最高的建筑，但它的地位正受到来自世界各地众多已经规划的建筑的威胁，由此可知，本文主要介绍的是世界上很多国家为了追求大楼的高度而争相建造摩天大楼（但这并没有带来经济的繁荣），故D项（天空才是极限）适合作文章标题。7选5阅
73、读【答案】16. F；17. G；18. C；19. E；20. B；【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要描述了如何选择把植物作为礼物的建议。【16题详解】F 结合填空处所处的情境及下文给出的送植物做礼物的建议，可以看出此处是作为承上启下的作用。所以要总说引出下文的建议的句子。故选F项。【17题详解】G 前文讲到，如果你朋友家阳光明媚，那多肉植物就说得通了。后文讲到兰花生长在潮湿的森林中。可以得出此处讲的是环境潮湿的一种情况。结合选项看，只有G符合题意。故选G项。【18题详解】C 本句为段落的中心句，由后文讲到在挑选植物礼物时，向销售人员询问更多信息，以确保你选择的礼物与最终的结果相匹配。可以看出
74、，买植物做礼物之前了解关于该植物的信息是必要的。对比选项可以看出，只有C项符合题意。故选C项。【19题详解】 E 由后文：If their leaves dry up,theyre not getting enough water.If theyre reaching their leaves toward the light,they may need more of it.可以看出，植物是否需要浇水和阳光，通过观察植物本身的特点就可以得出。所以，前面的句子应该是对这两句做总说。结合选项，只有E项符合。故选E项。【20题详解】B 通过前一个句子：You dont need to wrap i
75、t,as a simple bow is enough.你不需要把它包起来，一个简单的蝴蝶结就足够了，讲的是送植物为礼物的简单方式，后一句Its a way to ensure your gift gets a good start in life.这是一种确保你的天赋，在生活中有个好的开始的方法。讲的也是方法，所以空白处讲的同样是一种方式，对比答案发现只有B项符合题意。故选B项。【名师点睛】在答题中，应首先略读一下短文，了解一下短文的大致意思，然后把几个选项含义理解透，尤其注意意思相近，表达有交叉的选项之间的区别。然后再细读短文，把答案填入合适位置。答题时可以把含义相近的几个选项轮流填入同一
76、处位置，反复阅读，反复体会，找出最佳选项，对于实在没有把握的小题可以留待最后完成。完成短文后，再认真通读一遍全文，看看上下语意是否通顺，是否符合逻辑关系。第二部分：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，共15分)【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了由于人满为患、乱扔垃圾,作者担心乞力马扎罗山的美名不副实。可喜的是,当地政府的努力有了回报,山脉生态在慢慢恢复之中。21.

A解析本句but表示转折关系,虽然环境面临着考验,坦桑尼亚国家公园管理局做出的努力似乎挺奏效。pay off“成功;奏效;达到目的”;spread out“展开;铺开”;blow up“爆炸”;fade away“逐渐消失”。故选A项。28. D解析由下文可知,乞力马扎罗山的很多山脉
79、被许多文化视为精神家园。be regarded as.“被视为”。故选D项。29. B解析此处指攀登者可以在几千米的空间内穿过五种生态系统。故选B项。climber“攀登者”;scientist“科学家”;local“当地人,本地人”;official“官员”。30.

D解析由上文可知,作者已经讲了四种生态系统:rainforest,low growing plants,thick grass,highland desert,还有最后的也是最冷的arctic-like zone(类北极地带),故选D项。34. A解析本句意为“类北极地带上方有永久的积雪和冰川,但它们可能不久后会融化”。permanent“永久的”;little“小的”;fresh

What； 41. has set； 42. shorten； 43. using；44. them； 45. to receive；【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了北京大兴国际机场的开幕以及里面的科技设备面部识别等信息。【36题详解】考查副词。根据后面动词“ope
82、ned”可知，此处应用副词修饰动词opened。故填formally。【37题详解】考查介词。be listed as是固定短语，意为“被列为，被记录”。故填as。【38题详解】考查动词和主谓一致。分析句子可知，前面有非谓语动词consisting，该句缺少谓语动词，且主语“The new airport complex”是单数，所以此处应用covers。故填covers。【39题详解】考查冠词。分析句子可知，此处泛指“一次旅行”，且journey的读音是以辅音音素开头，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。【40题详解】考查主语从句。分析句子可知，该句中谓语动词is前面的是主语，所以空处引导主语从句，且
83、在从句中作主语，所以应用what引导。故填What。【41题详解】考查时态。already是现在完成时的标志，表明某件事情已经完成，所以此处应用现在完成时。故填has set。【42题详解】考查动词。助动词can后接动词原形，所以此处应有动词形式shorten。故填shorten。【43题详解】考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处应用非谓语动词，动词use与其逻辑主语travelers之间是主动关系，应用现在分词。故填using。【44题详解】考查代词。动词relay后接代词的宾格形式，所以此处用them。故填them。【45题详解】考查动词不定式。expect to do sth.是固定搭
84、配，意为“期望做某事”。故填to receive。第三部分：书面表达（共1小题，满分25分）【范文背诵】Dear John,I am Li Hua.
