What would life be like without commas (逗號(hào))? It would be quite confusing. Take this simple sentence as an example: Let’s eat Dad! Without a comma, Dad becomes the food. Add comma, and Dad becomes a partner at dinner: Let’s eat, Dad! The comma enables people to have a better understanding of the sentence.
Here’s another example: Tom said Sarah stole the cake. Here, Sarah is the thief. But add a pair of commas, and Tom becomes the thief: Tom, said Sarah, stole the cake.
The examples above clearly show that people cannot do without commas in writing. Yet, the comma came from oral speeches. Long ago, most people could not read. They listened to the news or stories told by the people who gave speeches. The comma began as something to mark the resting place in a sentence. When reading, the speakers knew where to stop and take a breath.
In writing, commas are like shining red lights on the road. They require that you wait a moment before continuing. And don’t add a comma when you feel like it. There are rules that people shall not break. Learn them, and you won’t be eating anyone or making wrong changes.

In 2016, I suffered from Seasonal Affective Disorder(SAD) a form of depression(抑郁癥) that is found to make people feel low in the UK between September and April. During that cold and wet period, I got comfort in books.
Books have been used by many to reduce depression. I lose myself into them as thirstily as usually get my morning coffee. Each Christmas, I have a habit of returning to the old favorite books that make up for my emptiness, such as Jane Eyre. Sometimes, to escape from the cold, I run back to the heat that I am used to, so I will read a lot of books set in Africa.
It became important for me to find a way to escape my sadness in the world of books. And isn’t that what art and literature is for? According to JJ Bola, the author of No Place to Call Home, “The world can get you so down that you think you’re the only person going through what you’re going through. But then you read and you realize that you are not alone that if someone else has gone through it and survived, then maybe you can, too.” It is this survival that the reader looks for, that is, the understanding that the winter is not so long after all.

George Daniels lives in London. He is a watchmaker. His work continues the tradition of the English watchmakers of the 18th and 19th centuries. Today this tradition is almost dead.

That the Leaning Tower of Pisa no longer leans quite so much after a £20 million project to save it has proved to be a great success.The tower,which was on the edge of collapse,has been straightened by 18 inches,returning it to its 1838 position.
“It has straightened a little bit more than we expected,but very little helps,”said Prof.John Burland,the only British member of the rescue committee.“The tower is still very slightly moving towards being upright.”
The tower,which has been leaning almost since building work first began in 1173,was closed to the public in 1990 because of safety fears.The 183-foot tower was nearly 15 feet off vertical and its structure was found to have been weakened by centuries of strain(作用力).
Prof.Burland said it could have collapsed “at any moment”.However,it took nine years of quarrelling before any work was done.The last attempt at straightening the tower was carried out.Concrete(混凝土) was poured into the foundations,but the result was that the tower sank further into the soil.
The straightening work involved digging out around 70 tonnes of earth from the northern side of the tower,causing it to sink on that side.Before the digging started,the tower was fixed with steel ropes and 600 tonnes of lead weights.
However,halfway through the project,concerns at the ugliness of the lead weights led to their removal and the tower leaned greatly.The weights were hurriedly reattached.One night,the tower moved more than it had averaged in an entire year.The tower’s stonework has also been restored.
The Italian government stepped in after a tower collapsed in Pavia in 1989,killing four people.Experts suddenly realized that the tower at Pisa,which was similarly built and on the same sort of earth,could do the same.

I’ve spent over a year in India,and in those 365 plus days,I’ve learned a lot about getting around Indian cities.My biggest lessons have been learned through being cheated,particularly by taxi and rickshaw(人力車) drivers,but that doesn’t mean those are bad ways to travel,as long as you know what you’re doing.Below are the best ways to get around the city of Delhi,India,and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams(欺詐).
Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are,if you arrive in Delhi by plane,as soon as you make it through customs,you’ll be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers.At the Delhi airport,be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths.One is inside the airport,and the other is outside.The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police,rather than by independent taxi drivers.
Rickshaws are one of my favourite ways to get around Indian cities,in part because it’s how the locals often travel.Auto-rickshaws are more common,but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi.If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw,you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees.Auto-rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees,depending on the distance.
If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals,take a public bus.Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning.They are,however,very cheap.A bus trip won’t set you back any more than 15 rupees,as long as you stay within the city limits.Since Indian buses get so crowded,try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.
The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi.Fares are reasonable,between 6 and 22 rupees.All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English,and tokens can be purchased for between 6 and 22 rupees.
26.The author is trying to in Delhi through this text.
A.give some advice of travelling B.expect us to travel around
C.show his/her experiences D.explain the difficulties of travelling
27.To avoid being cheated,you ought to if you want to take a taxi at the Delhi airport.
A.pay more to the drivers to keep safe B.show your ticket to the driver
C.go to a police-run booth D.go out of the airport
28.The author suggests taking a rickshaw in order to .
A.save some money B.enjoy the comfortable trip
C.gain a unique experience D.help the local rickshaw drivers
29.What can we infer from the passage?
A.You won’t have to pay much if you travel around by bus in India.
B.It will be difficult for you to get a seat if you get on the bus halfway.
C.A rickshaw driver only charges whatever amount you give him.
D.You’ll have to speak English if you travel around in India.
30.Which may be the topic that follows?

Is there something strange high up in the world’s tallest mountains? If so, is it a big bear? Is it a monkey? Or is it a kind of man?
No one knows. This mystery (謎) has puzzled the world for years.
In 1887, a mountain climber found large footprints (腳印) in the snow. They looked like the footprints of a very large man. But men don’t walk without shoes in the snow!
In 1906, other climbers saw more than footprints. Far away they saw a very large animal standing on two legs. As they watched, it ran very quickly.
Fifteen years later, newspapers had new stories about the “something”. A mountain climber said he had seen the “snowman” walk slowly across the snow, far below him.He said it looked like a very large man.
From then on, more and more people had stories to tell. But not until 1951 did a mountain climber bring back pictures of large footprints. His pictures showed clearly that the snowman walked on two legs, so it was not a bear or a monkey. Could it be an ape (猿) man? The mystery grew! And the mystery keeps growing. Some day we may find out just what it is that makes the large footprints.

Computer programmer David Jones earned £35,000 a year designing new computer games,yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a check card.Instead,he has been told to wait another two years until he is 18.

The old man had the food with the forgetful grass and went to bed.The next morning,when the owner got up,he found the door was open and the old man had left with his bag.He woke his wife up and said angrily,“What a fool!Your forgetful grass isn’t useful at all.”

There is a very special wolf that lives in Africa.They are actually called the African wild dogs,or painted dogs.
These animals live in open woodlands, or in the plains of Africa. Today, however, most of the animals can be found in eastern or southern Africa. These animals are beautiful. They have rounded ears instead of pointed like most dogs, and they have four toes on each of their four feet, also a unique characteristic because other dogs have five. Their fur is always different from each other. The fur is usually a combination of black, brown, red and white, and sometimes even yellow. No wonder they’re called the painted dogs.
The African wild dog is a very social animal. They live in groups and have numbers from five to about twenty. The members of a group are always very close to one another. They communicate in their own language or body language. When someone is very old or sick, the others will help, and they are willing to share the food with the elders and with those who are weak, which is what we should learn from.
The family does everything together, from raising young, to sleeping together, to hunting. When they hunt, they will work together using team work to kill animals that are larger than them.
They sometimes hunt farm animals. This is unfortunate, because both poachers, and people who own farms shoot the painted dogs who are just trying to survive.
Before, there used to be many large groups throughout the land, but now the African wild dog is very rare. They are also losing their population because of their own loss of habitat thanks to human’ s farming and forest cutting.

Scientists have not found any signs of life on Mars yet,but they say a robotic vehicle called “Curiosity” is helping them learn a lot about the planet’s history and climate.
Curiosity landed on Mars in August 2012 after travelling through space for more than eight months.It was sent to Mars by scientists from NASA in the United States.
Curiosity is about the size of a car and has six wheels.It also has a robotic arm,cameras,and instruments that allow it to examine things it finds on the surface.Then it sends the information back to the earth.
Curiosity’s main task is to find out if anything could live on Mars,either now or in the past.On Nov.2,NASA scientists held a press conference (新聞發(fā)布會(huì)) to discuss what Curiosity had found in its first two months on Mars.
Curiosity has found soil that is similar to the sand formed by volcanoes (火山) on the earth.Scientists say that studying the minerals in Martian soil will help them understand what conditions were like on the planet in the past.Curiosity also found smooth stones like the ones found on river beds and seashores on the earth,where their rough edges have been worn down by water.Mars is very cold and dry now,but scientists say the smooth stones tell them that a river used to run through the place where they were found.
Curiosity has been testing the atmosphere around Mars for a type of gas called methane (甲烷),but so far it has not found any.On the earth,most methane is produced by plants or animals.Methane on Mars might indicate that some type of tiny plants or animals lived there.
Curiosity is the fourth robotic vehicle to be sent to Mars.It will continue to explore the planet for about two years.
61.Which of the following descriptions about Curiosity is TRUE?
A.It landed on Mars in January 2012.

C.the soil on Mars is rich D.there used to be water on Mars
63.The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refers to “ ”.
A.smooth stones B.rivers
C.robotic vehicles D.volcanoes
64.We know from the sixth paragraph that .
A.some tiny animals once lived on Mars
B.there are no plants or animals on Mars now
C.the atmosphere around Mars is full of methane
D.Curiosity is designed to test the atmosphere around the earth
65.What is the main idea of the passage?

There are three different kinds of friends in our life. I classify (分類) them according to how well I know them and how well they know me.
The first type of friend is just an acquaintance (熟人). This means that you only know their name. You might not even remember what they look like if you go away for a short vacation. You don’t miss them when they are elsewhere. It is also this type of friend who gives you the most amount of aggravation (惱怒). Since most of the time you are placed in a position where you have to act friendly, you would not normally tell an acquaintance when he or she is doing something that makes you feel angry, such as tapping the fingers on a table or shouting loudly. I call them “pest friends”.
The second kind of friend is a “guest friend”. They are just social partners. You meet them at a certain location and at the end of the meeting you go your separate way and they go theirs. You don’t talk too often with this sort of friend, and you don’t share each other’s secrets.
Lastly, we have “best friends”. This sort of friend is there when you need them. They know you as a person and they are there through thick and thin. Best friends are the ones that you can lean and depend on no matter what happens. If you need a listening ear, they will be the one to lend support.
Friends come in all different shapes and sizes. Every friend has an impact on our life. . .
66.According to the writer, when a friend of the first type acts in an annoying way, you .
A.can tell him/her about it directly
B.should stay away from him/her
C.should advise him/her to correct his/her behavior
D.may find it hard to tell him/her not to do so
67.Which of the following statements is WRONG about the second type of friend?
A.They are only social partners.
B.You don’t talk very often with them.
C.You don’t share your secrets with them.
D.They are called “pest friends” by the writer.
68.If someone is with you through thick and thin, it means .
A.he/she is your friend for sure
B.he/she agrees with whatever you say
C.you spend most of your time together
D.he/she is with you even when there are difficulties
69.What will most probably be talked about in Paragraph 5?
A.How to make friends.
B.How friends influence our life.
C.How to improve friendship.
D.How to get along well with the third type of friend.
70.What is this passage mainly about?

The period 713-756 AD was when the Tang Dynasty reached its top. It was also China’s golden age of poetry. Then it is no surprise the period produced China’s two greatest poets, Du Fu and Li Bai.
Li Bai (701-762) was also called Tai Bai or Qing Lian Ju Shi as his poetic name. He is one of the most well-known and admired poets in China.
A diligent reader in his youth, he was directed by both Confucianism and Taoism(儒教和道教). He started out at 25 to travel in the country. At the age of 42, a friend suggested him to the court(朝廷).He was greatly pleased at first and eager to serve the emperor like an ancient able politician. But the Emperor Xuanzong only had him as a palace poet to write unimportant poems while the emperor and Yang Guifei, his favorite imperial concubine(皇妃), were treating themselves. Unwilling to serve such a meaningless function, Li Bai left the capital in less than two years.
Then Li Bai went on with his aimless wandering all over the country.Unfortunately, he was charged of being a member of the rebel and sentenced to exile(流放),though pardoned on the way.He died of illness at Dangtu in today’s Anhui.
Li Bai is considered as the first romantic poet in the Tang Dynasty (618-907).His political aim was destroyed,so he turned to drinking to hide from his sorrows and writing,which was described as “A hundred poems per glass wine.” His poetry is still very popular and recited by Chinese children today.Here are some of his poems in English.

April Fools' Day is supposed to be a day to play jokes on others in hopes of getting a good laugh and making one feel like a fool.However,the April Fools' Day of 2019 was quite different for my mom and me.
That day my friend Jimmy and I were playing a game.I had dropped down from a bar (橫木) many times in the past without ever having a problem,but that day the simple act of dropping to the ground became a nightmare (噩夢(mèng)).I broke my arm.
Jimmy's dad heard my crying and rushed out to see what was going on.When he saw the problem,he quickly put me into his truck and went inside to telephone my mom and let her know he would take me to the hospital.As that day was April Fools' Day,Mom was not buying it and really thought all this was a big joke.Mom was finally convinced by Jimmy's mom.When she saw me,she broke down in tears because she felt so bad-she simply believed that was just a big trick.
I guess one could compare this to the story The Boy Who Cried Wolf.Since I had played bad tricks before,it was no wonder that my mom didn't believe it.I as well as my mom was made to look like a fool that day.We both learned a valuable lesson.

A.She didn't believe what Jimmy's dad said.
B.She would not like to pay the money.
C.She had no preparation for the bad news.
D.She thought her son deserved (應(yīng)受) it.
89.Why did the writer mention the story The Boy Who Cried Wolf?
A.Because he thought it was his mom's fault.
B.Because he had a lesson like that.

In science: “How many ways can you find to empty a glass of water without touching it? ”
In any subject:??“What else would you like to know? How do you know that is true? Is there another way of doing this?”
Second, we can encourage learners to invent their own questions, We can do this for a topic that students are familiar with in their study. Firstly, discuss what makes a good question Secondly, create questions by grouping questions into different types--open, closed, or one that challenges the imagination. Finally, put those questions in order according to their importance.
Our teachers encourage us to ask questions and not accept the standard answers without Reasoning(推理). Our school has some activities annually to inspire creativity in every student. Our teachers encourage us to be creative and think of solutions for real-world problems. On the whole, the freedom of being allowed to be ourselves is what brings out the best in our creativity.

【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章介紹了逗號(hào)在生活中是很重要的,如果沒(méi)有逗號(hào),將會(huì)造成理解上的錯(cuò)誤,同時(shí)我們也應(yīng)該要遵守使用逗號(hào)的一些規(guī)則,這樣才會(huì)讓我們所表達(dá)的東西更加清楚。
1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“What would life be like without commas (逗號(hào))? It would be quite confusing. Take this simple sentence as an example: Let’s eat Dad! Without a comma, Dad becomes the food. (沒(méi)有逗號(hào)的生活會(huì)是什么樣子?這會(huì)相當(dāng)令人困惑。以這個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的句子為例:讓我們吃爸爸!沒(méi)有逗號(hào),爸爸就變成了食物。)”可知,如果在生活中,我們講話不使用逗號(hào),那會(huì)造成誤解,因此沒(méi)有逗號(hào)的生活是令人困惑的。故選B項(xiàng)。
2.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的“Take this simple sentence as an example: Let’s eat Dad! Without a comma, Dad becomes the food. Add comma, and Dad becomes a partner at dinner: Let’s eat, Dad! The comma enables people to have a better understanding of the sentence.(以這個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的句子為例:讓我們吃爸爸!沒(méi)有逗號(hào),爸爸就變成了食物。加上逗號(hào),爸爸就成了晚餐時(shí)的伙伴:我們吃吧,爸爸!逗號(hào)使人們對(duì)這個(gè)句子有更好的理解。)”以及第二段的“Here’s another example: Tom said Sarah stole the cake. Here, Sarah is the thief. But add a pair of commas, and Tom becomes the thief: Tom, said Sarah, stole the cake.(還有一個(gè)例子:湯姆說(shuō)莎拉偷了蛋糕。在這里,莎拉是小偷。但是加上一對(duì)逗號(hào),湯姆就成了小偷:湯姆,莎拉說(shuō),偷了蛋糕。)”可知,這兩個(gè)例子告訴我們,加逗號(hào)和不加逗號(hào),句子的含義是不一樣的,而且還會(huì)造成誤解,因此可知,有了逗號(hào),人們才能更好地理解一句話。故作者在這舉例是為了說(shuō)明逗號(hào)的重要性。故選B項(xiàng)。
3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Yet, the comma came from oral speeches. Long ago, most people could not read. They listened to the news or stories told by the people who gave speeches. The comma began as something to mark the resting place in a sentence. (然而,這個(gè)逗號(hào)來(lái)自口頭演講。很久以前,大多數(shù)人不識(shí)字。他們聽(tīng)演講人講述的新聞或故事。逗號(hào)開(kāi)始是用來(lái)標(biāo)記句子中停頓的位置的。)”可知,逗號(hào)一開(kāi)始是在口頭中使用,用來(lái)表示停頓。故選D項(xiàng)。
4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的“There are rules that people shall not break. Learn them, and you won’t be eating anyone or making wrong changes.(有些規(guī)則是人們不能違反的。學(xué)會(huì)它們,你就不會(huì)吃掉任何人或做出錯(cuò)誤的改變。)”可知,逗號(hào)的使用是有相關(guān)的規(guī)則的,我們不能違反了這些規(guī)則,因此可知我們學(xué)習(xí)逗號(hào)要懂得遵守它的規(guī)則。故選C項(xiàng)。
5.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段的“What would life be like without commas(逗號(hào))? It would be quite confusing. Take this simple sentence as an example: Let’s eat Dad! Without a comma, Dad becomes the food. Add comma, and Dad becomes a partner at dinner: Let’s eat, Dad! The comma enables people to have a better understanding of the sentence.(沒(méi)有逗號(hào)的生活會(huì)是什么樣子?這會(huì)相當(dāng)令人困惑。以這個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的句子為例:讓我們吃爸爸!沒(méi)有逗號(hào),爸爸就變成了食物。加上逗號(hào),爸爸就成了晚餐時(shí)的伙伴:我們吃吧,爸爸!逗號(hào)使人們對(duì)這個(gè)句子有更好的理解。)”以及第三段的“The examples above clearly show that people cannot do without commas in writing.(上面的例子清楚地表明,人們?cè)趯?xiě)作中離不開(kāi)逗號(hào)。)”以及第四段的“Learn them, and you won’t be eating anyone or making wrong changes.(學(xué)會(huì)它們,你就不會(huì)吃掉任何人或做出錯(cuò)誤的改變。)”可知,逗號(hào)在生活中是很重要的,它使得我們更好地理解人們所表達(dá)的東西,有了它,人們說(shuō)的話就很清楚明了。因此可知,逗號(hào)使說(shuō)的句子變得清楚明確。故選A項(xiàng)。

【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了作者患有一種叫做季節(jié)性情感障礙的抑郁癥。而作者通過(guò)閱讀來(lái)緩解痛苦,閱讀書(shū)籍給了作者安慰,讓作者覺(jué)得自己不是一個(gè)人在面對(duì)困難。
6.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“In 2016, I suffered from Seasonal Affective Disorder(SAD) a form of depression(抑郁癥) that is found to make people feel low in the UK between September and April. During that cold and wet period, I got comfort in books.( 2016年,我患上了季節(jié)性情感障礙(SAD),這是一種抑郁癥,在英國(guó),人們?cè)?月至4月期間會(huì)感到情緒低落。在那段陰冷潮濕的日子里,我從書(shū)里得到了安慰。)”可知,患有這種疾病了時(shí)間是在9月至4月期間,那時(shí)英國(guó)的天氣是寒冷和潮濕的,因此可知,是寒冷和潮濕的天氣讓作者患上這種病。故選D項(xiàng)。
7.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的“Each Christmas, I have a habit of returning to the old favorite books that make up for my emptiness, such as Jane Eyre.(每年圣誕節(jié),我都有一個(gè)習(xí)慣,那就是回到以前最喜歡的書(shū)上來(lái)彌補(bǔ)我的空虛,比如《簡(jiǎn)愛(ài)》。)”可知,作者通過(guò)閱讀書(shū)本得到了安慰,彌補(bǔ)了自己精神上的空虛感。因此可知,作者讀書(shū)是為了驅(qū)趕空虛感。故選D項(xiàng)。
8.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的“Sometimes, to escape from the cold, I run back to the heat that I am used to, so I will read a lot of books set in Africa.(有時(shí)候,為了逃離寒冷,我會(huì)跑回我習(xí)慣的炎熱,所以我會(huì)讀很多以非洲為背景的書(shū)。)”可知,為了逃避寒冷,作者會(huì)讀以非洲為背景的書(shū)籍,因此推知Out of Africa會(huì)是作者的選擇。故選B項(xiàng)。
9.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的“It became important for me to find a way to escape my sadness in the world of books.(對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō),在書(shū)的世界里找到一種逃避悲傷的方法變得很重要。)”可知,對(duì)作者來(lái)講,書(shū)本是作者逃避悲傷的一種重要的方式,因此可知,通過(guò)閱讀書(shū)本,作者逃離了悲傷。故選A項(xiàng)。
10.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段的“During that cold and wet period, I got comfort in books.(在那段陰冷潮濕的日子里,我從書(shū)里得到了安慰。)”以及第二段的“Each Christmas, I have a habit of returning to the old favorite books that make up for my emptiness, such as Jane Eyre.(每年圣誕節(jié),我都有一個(gè)習(xí)慣,那就是回到以前最喜歡的書(shū)上來(lái)彌補(bǔ)我的空虛,比如《簡(jiǎn)愛(ài)》。)”以及最后一段的“It became important for me to find a way to escape my sadness in the world of books.(對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō),在書(shū)的世界里找到一種逃避悲傷的方法變得很重要。)”以及最后一段的“It is this survival that the reader looks for, that is, the understanding that the winter is not so long after all.(讀者尋找的正是這種生存,即明白了冬天總會(huì)過(guò)去的。)”可知,本文講述了閱讀緩解了作者的抑郁癥,給了作者安慰,驅(qū)趕走作者的空虛和悲傷,因此可知,閱讀緩和了作者的抑郁情緒。故選A項(xiàng)。
11.D????12.B????13.A????14.C????15.C
【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了一位著名的鐘表匠喬治·丹尼爾斯。他自己設(shè)計(jì)手表,親手制作所有的零件,在國(guó)際上頗有名聲。然而,不是所有人都能獲得讓他幫忙制作手表的資格,他只給那些懂得手表的人設(shè)計(jì)。
11.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的“George Daniels lives in London. He is a watchmaker. His work continues the tradition of the English watchmakers of the 18th and 19th centuries. Today this tradition is almost dead. Daniels is the only man in the world who designs his own watches makes all the pars himself and then puts them together.(喬治·丹尼爾斯住在倫敦。他是一名鐘表匠。他的作品延續(xù)了18世紀(jì)和19世紀(jì)英國(guó)制表師的傳統(tǒng)。今天,這一傳統(tǒng)幾乎已經(jīng)消亡。丹尼爾斯是世界上唯一一個(gè)自己設(shè)計(jì)手表的人,他自己制造所有零件,然后把它們組裝在一起。)”可知,喬治·丹尼爾斯是一個(gè)自己獨(dú)自設(shè)計(jì)和制作手表的鐘表匠。故選D項(xiàng)。
12.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的“Of course these are not ordinary watches—they are very beautiful and will last three centuries.(當(dāng)然,這些不是普通的手表,它們非常漂亮,可以用三個(gè)世紀(jì)。)”可知,他制作的手表可以持續(xù)三個(gè)世紀(jì),即300年。故選B項(xiàng)。
13.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的“George Daniels has always been attracted by clocks and watches. When he was five he used to take his father’s clock apart and put it back together again.(喬治·丹尼爾斯一直被鐘表所吸引。當(dāng)他五歲的時(shí)候,他經(jīng)常把他父親的鐘拆開(kāi),然后再裝回去。)”可知,他從小喜歡鐘表,喜歡玩他父親的鐘,因此玩父親的鐘是他早期對(duì)鐘表感興趣的體現(xiàn)。故選A項(xiàng)。
14.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的“It must be someone who understands the subject,” he says “not someone who will leave the watch in the drawer and only show it to dinner quests.”(他說(shuō):“一定是某個(gè)理解這個(gè)物品的人,而不是某個(gè)會(huì)把手表放在抽屜里,只在晚宴上展示的人?!?”可知,他只給那些明白他為什么設(shè)計(jì)這個(gè)手表,真正欣賞手表的人。故選C項(xiàng)。
15.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的“He is now internationally famous and many people would like him to make watches for them. But most of them will be disappointed. He chooses his customers very carefully indeed.(他現(xiàn)在在國(guó)際上很有名,許多人想讓他為他們制作手表。但大部分都會(huì)失望。他確實(shí)非常仔細(xì)地選擇他的顧客。)”可知,不是所有人都能讓他為他們制作手表,他要篩選客人,大多數(shù)都是沒(méi)有這個(gè)資格的,因此可知,只有少數(shù)部分人能獲得他的手表。故選C項(xiàng)。
16.B????17.B????18.D????19.A????20.C
【分析】本文是說(shuō)明文。本文主要講述了比薩斜塔的傾斜歷史及政府為此做出的努力。
16.主旨大意題。文章第一段就提到“That the Leaning Tower of Pisa no longer leans quite so much after a £20 million project to save it has proved to be a great success.” 比薩斜塔不再傾斜那么多,在花費(fèi)£2000萬(wàn)的項(xiàng)目拯救斜塔后,它被證明是一個(gè)巨大的成功。文章開(kāi)頭就說(shuō)明比薩斜塔的保存,并且下文也是圍繞拯救比薩斜塔進(jìn)行闡述的。所以最佳標(biāo)題是拯救比薩斜塔。故選B項(xiàng)。
17.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第三段第一句“The tower, which has been leaning almost since building work first began in 1173,” 這座塔自1173年開(kāi)始施工以來(lái)就一直傾斜。此處提到比薩斜塔自1173年建立(至今已有800多年的歷史)時(shí)就開(kāi)始傾斜。故選B項(xiàng)。
18.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章最后一段提到“The Italian government stepped in after a tower collapsed in Pavia in 1989,killing four people. Experts suddenly realized that the tower at Pisa, which was similarly built and on the same sort of earth, could do the same.” 1989年帕維亞一座塔樓倒塌,造成4人死亡,之后意大利政府介入。專家們突然意識(shí)到,比薩斜塔的建造方式和建造地點(diǎn)都很相似,也可以達(dá)到同樣的效果。說(shuō)明正是另一個(gè)地方的塔的倒塌才使意大利政府意識(shí)到拯救比薩斜塔的迫切性。故選D項(xiàng)。
19.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段“halfway through the project, concerns at the ugliness of the lead weights led to their removal and the tower leaned greatly. The weights were hurriedly reattached.” 工程進(jìn)行到一半時(shí),由于擔(dān)心鉛砣太丑,所以拆除了鉛砣,斜塔也傾斜了很多。鉛砣趕緊重新裝上。文章第六段提到把鉛砣移走后,導(dǎo)致塔又有很大的傾斜,這正說(shuō)明在扶正塔的過(guò)程中,鉛砣固定在塔上可能起了最重要的作用。故選A項(xiàng)。
20.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第一段就提到“That the Leaning Tower of Pisa no longer leans quite so much after a £20 million project to save it has proved to be a great success.”比薩斜塔不再傾斜那么多,在花費(fèi)£2000萬(wàn)的項(xiàng)目拯救斜塔后,它被證明是一個(gè)巨大的成功。”可知扶正工作完成后,比薩斜塔還是會(huì)傾斜,C項(xiàng)與文章內(nèi)容不符。故選C項(xiàng)。

On the earth, most methane is produced by plants or animals. Methane on Mars might indicate that some type of tiny plants or animals lived there.(“好奇號(hào)”一直在測(cè)試火星周圍的大氣中是否有一種叫做甲烷的氣體,但到目前為止還沒(méi)有發(fā)現(xiàn)。在地球上,大部分甲烷是由植物或動(dòng)物產(chǎn)生的?;鹦巧系募淄榭赡鼙砻髟心撤N小型植物或動(dòng)物生活在那里。)”可知,如果有甲烷,就表示火星上有植物或動(dòng)物存在的可能。但是“好奇號(hào)”到現(xiàn)在為止都沒(méi)有在火星上找到甲烷,可見(jiàn)火星上至少現(xiàn)在是沒(méi)有植物或動(dòng)物的。故選B項(xiàng)。
65.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段“Scientists have not found any signs of life on Mars yet, but they say a robotic vehicle called “Curiosity” is helping them learn a lot about the planet’s history and climate.(科學(xué)家們還沒(méi)有在火星上發(fā)現(xiàn)任何生命跡象,但他們表示,一個(gè)名為“好奇號(hào)”的機(jī)器人飛行器正在幫助他們了解火星的歷史和氣候。)可知,本文主要講了一個(gè)名為“好奇號(hào)”的機(jī)器人幫助科學(xué)家獲取有關(guān)火星的有用信息,因此選項(xiàng)D“一個(gè)機(jī)器人飛行器幫助科學(xué)家從火星上獲得有用的信息?!狈项}意。故選D項(xiàng)。

【分析】這是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要介紹了人生中的三種朋友。
66.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段中的“Since most of the time you are placed in a position where you have to act friendly, you would not normally tell an acquaintance when he or she is doing something that makes you feel angry, such as tapping the fingers on a table or shouting loudly.”(因?yàn)榇蠖鄶?shù)時(shí)候你被安排在一個(gè)你必須表現(xiàn)友好的位置,你通常不會(huì)告訴一個(gè)熟人他或她正在做一些讓你感到憤怒的事情,比如在桌子上敲擊手指或大聲喊叫。),可知在作者看來(lái),當(dāng)?shù)谝环N朋友有惱人的行為時(shí),你可能并不好意思直接跟他/她說(shuō)不要這樣做。故選D項(xiàng)。
67.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段中的“I call them “pest friends”.”(我叫他們“害蟲(chóng)朋友”。),可知“pest friends”是作者用來(lái)形容第一種朋友的,D項(xiàng)“第二種類型的朋友被作家稱為“害蟲(chóng)朋友””錯(cuò)誤。故選D項(xiàng)。
68.推理判斷題。第四段主要講最好的朋友,由第四段中的“This sort of friend is there when you need them. They know you as a person and they are there through thick and thin. Best friends are the ones that you can lean and depend on no matter what happens.”(這種朋友會(huì)在你需要的時(shí)候出現(xiàn)。他們知道你是一個(gè)人,他們?cè)谀抢?,不顧艱難險(xiǎn)阻。最好的朋友是那些無(wú)論發(fā)生什么事你都可以依靠的人。),可知最好的朋友不管你平時(shí)有沒(méi)有困難,都會(huì)不顧艱難險(xiǎn)阻出現(xiàn)在你的身邊,讓你可以依靠,因此可推斷出有人與你同甘共苦,它就意味著即使有困難,他/她也和你在一起。故選D項(xiàng)。
69.推理判斷題。由最后一段“Friends come in all different shapes and sizes. Every friend has an impact on our life. . .”(朋友有各種各樣的形狀和大小。每個(gè)朋友都會(huì)影響我們的生活……),可推知接下來(lái)作者最有可能要談?wù)摰氖呛汀芭笥讶绾斡绊懳覀兊纳睢庇嘘P(guān)的內(nèi)容。故選B項(xiàng)。
70.主旨大意題。第一段講“我們的生活中有三種不同的朋友”,第二段講“第一種朋友是熟人”,第三段講“第二種朋友是“客座朋友””,第四段講“第三種朋友是“最好的朋友””,第五段講“朋友對(duì)我們生活的影響”,通讀全文,可知本文主要是講生活中的三種朋友,B項(xiàng)“我們生活中有三種朋友”符合文意。故選B項(xiàng)。

72.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Family trip in Florida(佛羅里達(dá)家庭旅行)部分中“Seven nights at the Westgate Inn, Kissimmee. Set off on March 21.(在基西米的西門(mén)旅館住七晚。3月21日出發(fā))”可知,如果吉米3月21日去佛羅里達(dá),他3月28日回來(lái)。故選B。
73.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)A week in Thailand部分中的“£160(160英鎊)”;Family trip in Florida部分中“£450(450英鎊)”;Farmhouse in Majorca部分中“£36(36英鎊)”以及Family trip in Morocco部分中“£260(260英鎊)”可知,Majorca的費(fèi)用最低。故選D。
74.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Family trip in Morocco部分中“An eight-day hiking(徒步旅行) in the Atlas Mountains.(在阿特拉斯山脈的八天徒步旅行)”可知,在阿特拉斯山脈你能徒步旅行。故選A。
75.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Farmhouse in Majorca部分中“Seven nights’ stay for up to six people at Can Corso, next to S’Horta.(在S'Horta旁邊的Can Corso住七晚,最多可住六個(gè)人)”可知,B選項(xiàng)“Can Corso離S 'Horta很遠(yuǎn)”不正確。故選B。

【分析】本文是一篇人物傳記,介紹了唐代大詩(shī)人李白的一生和影響。
76.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段“At the age of 42, a friend suggested him to the court(42歲時(shí),一位朋友把他推薦到朝廷)”可知,李白在42歲的時(shí)候入朝做官。又根據(jù)第二段“Li Bai (701-762)”李白的出生日期Li Bai (701-762)可知,李白是在743(701+42)年入朝做官。然后又根據(jù)文章第三段最后一句“Li Bai left the capital in less than two years(李白不到兩年就離開(kāi)了都城)”可知,李白只做了兩年的官。故李白當(dāng)官的時(shí)間是743年到745年。故此題選C。
77.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“He is one of the most well-known and admired poets in China(他是中國(guó)最著名、最受敬仰的詩(shī)人之一)”、第三段中的“He started out at 25 to travel in the country(他25歲開(kāi)始在鄉(xiāng)下游歷)”、倒數(shù)第二段中的“Then Li Bai went on with his aimless wandering all over the country(接著,李白又漫無(wú)目的在國(guó)內(nèi)閑游)”以及最后一段中的“he turned to drinking to hide from his sorrows and writing, which was described as A hundred poems per glass wine. (于是他轉(zhuǎn)向飲酒避愁,寫(xiě)作被稱為一杯酒后能出一百首詩(shī))”可知,李白喜歡作詩(shī)、游歷和飲酒。故選D。
78.主旨大意題。文章第三段前部分“At the age of 42, a friend suggested him to the court(42歲時(shí),一位朋友把他推薦到朝廷)”寫(xiě)道李白入朝為官。在段落最后“Li Bai left the capital in less than two years(李白不到兩年就離開(kāi)了都城)”寫(xiě)道李白只做官兩年。由此可知,第三段主要寫(xiě)了李白被引薦進(jìn)了朝廷,剛開(kāi)始還很滿意,后來(lái)覺(jué)得沒(méi)被重用,實(shí)現(xiàn)不了自己的抱負(fù),不到兩年就離開(kāi)了都城。所以第三段主要講述了李白入朝為官的經(jīng)歷。故此題選B。
79.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一句“A diligent reader in his youth, he was directed by both Confucianism and Taoism(他年輕時(shí)是一位勤奮的讀者,同時(shí)受儒家和道教的指導(dǎo))”可知,李白年輕時(shí)喜歡讀書(shū)。故此題選A。
80.詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)所猜詞后的“sentenced to exile(被判處流放)”可知,李白被視為亂黨,是反抗朝廷的人,因此才被流放。所以此處rebel的意思是“反抗朝廷”。故此題選B。
81.D????82.A????83.C????84.B????85.D
【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。主要介紹了玻利維亞的氣候、人口及其種族的來(lái)源。

84.詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第三段第二句“the Spanish conquerors who came to South America with Pizarro in the sixteenth century.(16世紀(jì)和皮薩羅一起來(lái)到南美洲的西班牙征服者)”可知,這些白人居民中有些是16世紀(jì)隨皮薩羅來(lái)到南美洲的西班牙征服者的后裔。所以descendants是指西班牙征服者的后代。故選B。
85.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第四段第一句“About one-fourth of the Bolivians are mixed Indian and white.(大約四分之一的玻利維亞人是印第安人和白人的混血。)”以及第三句“More than half of the Bolivians are full-blooded Indians.一半以上的玻利維亞人是純正印第安血統(tǒng)?!笨芍径沃饕v玻利維亞人的血緣關(guān)系。故選D。
