Good morning. This is Danny Jackson with weather watch,brought to you every day at this time by the Austin Chamber of Commerce. The week-long extended forecast for Austin and the Texas Hills calls for mostly sunny weather today and Tuesday, with temperatures in the high seventies. By Wednesday, a cold pressure area that has been building up over the Gulf of Mexico should begin to move inland over Texas, bringing about a ten-degree drop in temperature over the south central part of the state. By Wednesday night, that same low pressure should probably be dropping rain over the Austin area, with rain continuing into Thursday and possibly even early Friday. By Friday afternoon though, if all goes well, we should begin to see clear skies again, with a corresponding rise in temperature back into the seventies. Saturday and Sunday look like they'll be just beautiful. Danny Jackson with weather watch. Have a good week, Austin.
18. On what day will you probably hear this weather forecast?
A. On Saturday morning.
B. On Sunday morning.

第二部分 閱讀理解(共兩節(jié),滿分40分)
第一節(jié)(共15小題;每小題2分,滿分30分)
閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。
A
[2014·陜西寶雞期末] As a professor at a large American university, there is a phrase that I hear often from students: “I'm only a 1050.”The unlucky students are speaking of the score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice, or even have a chance to get a higher education at all. The SAT score, whether it is 800, 1,100 or 1,550, has become the focus at this time of their life.
It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores, then a great amount of their self-respect is put in the number. Students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over. The low test score, they think, will make it impossible for them to get into a good college. And without a degree from a prestigious_university,_they fear that many of life's doors will remain forever closed.
According to a study done in the 1990s, the SAT is only a reliable indicator(指示物) of a student's future performance in most cases. Interestingly, it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other indicators-like a student's high school grades. Even if standardized tests like the SAT could show a student's academic proficiency(學(xué)業(yè)水平), they will never be able to test things like confidence, efforts and willpower, and are unable to give us the full picture of a student's potentialities(潛力). This is not to suggest that we should stop using SAT scores in our college admission process. The SAT is an excellent test in many ways, and the score is still a useful means of testing students. However, it should be only one of many methods used.
本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了美國SAT考試的相關(guān)情況以及它對學(xué)生的影響。
21. The purpose of the SAT is to test students'________.
A. strong will
B. academic ability
C. full potentialities
D. confidence in school work
答案:B 本題考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“...which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice, or even have a chance to get a higher education at all.”和第三段的內(nèi)容可知,SAT考試的目的是考查學(xué)生的學(xué)術(shù)能力。故B項正確。
22. Students' self-respect is influenced by their________.
A. scores in the SAT
B. achievements in mathematic
C. job opportunities
D. money spent on education
答案:A 本題考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段第一句“It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores, then a great amount of their self-respect is put in the number.”可知,學(xué)生的自尊受他們在SAT考試中成績的影響。故A項正確。
23. “A prestigious university” is most probably ________.
A. a famous university
B. a technical university
C. a traditional university
D. an expensive university
答案:A 本題考查詞義猜測。聯(lián)系語境可知,沒有一個名牌大學(xué)的學(xué)位,他們會覺得許多生活的大門將永遠對他們保持關(guān)閉狀態(tài)。故A項正確。
24. This passage is mainly about ________.
A. how to prepare for the SAT
B. stress caused by the SAT
C. American higher education
D. the SAT and its effects
答案:D 本題考查主旨大意。本文主要介紹了SAT考試的有關(guān)情況和它對學(xué)生的影響。故D項正確。
B
Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for its stadium (運動場) and theatres, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii's people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2,000 years.
Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a grass-covered volcano (火山). Mount Vesuvius had not erupted (噴發(fā)) for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.
In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of stones and ash. Almost all of its people were dead.
For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stones and ash. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20,000 seats. Perhaps the most importantly of all, there were everyday objects, which told us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue color in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread, too; metal bread pans were in every bakery. In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread-a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup.
sGinseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.
本文主要講述了每年成千上萬的游客參觀Pompeii的目的。
25. Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?
A. To visit the volcano.
B. To shop and eat there.
C. To watch sports and plays.
D. To see how Pompeiians lived.
答案:D 推理判斷題。原文沒有直接說出參觀者到Pompeii的目的。通讀全文可知,Pompeii是一座被火山吞沒的城市。由于火山突然噴發(fā),人們來不及逃避,而保留了當時人們生活的遺跡。所以參觀者來的目的是看一看Pompeiians當時是如何生活的。但如果只注意到短文第一段最后一句話No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2,000 years.和后面提到的volcano一詞,容易錯誤地選擇A項。
26. Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?
A. The city nearby offered all kinds of fun.
B. The area produced the finest wine in Italy.
C. Few people expected the volcano to erupt again.
D. The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass.
答案:C 推理判斷題。從第二段后兩句話Mount Vesuvius had not erupted for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.可以得出結(jié)論,幾乎沒有人想到火山會重新噴發(fā)。
27. Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?
A. Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.
B. Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.
C. Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.
D. Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.
答案:B 細節(jié)理解題。從第二、三段可知,Pompeii位于Mount Vesuvius山腳下,Mount Vesuvius是一座火山,但有多個世紀沒有噴發(fā)了。人們以為它不會再噴發(fā),但是,在公元79年8月,火山突然噴發(fā),整個城市被埋葬在石頭和灰塵下。由于火山突然噴發(fā),人們在毫無準備的情況下被埋葬了,所以保留了當時全部的情景。
C
Researchers have found a village that may have been home to the builders of Stonehenge. The mysterious circular stone monument in England. The village of small houses dates back to about 2,600 B.C. That's about the same time Stonehenge was built. “Clearly, this is a place that was of enormous importance,” said researcher Mike Parker Pearson.
The ancient houses are at a site known as Durrington Walls, about two miles from Stonehenge. Researchers believe Stonehenge was a memorial site or cemetery for the villagers. The village also had a wooden version of the stone circle. It may have been used by people attending festivals at Stonehenge.
Eight of the houses have been excavated, or dug up. Researchers say there may be as many as 25 of them. The wooden houses were square and about 14 feet along each side. There are signs of bed frames along the walls and of a dresser or storage unit. The houses also had fireplaces.
Two of the houses were separate from the others and may have been the homes of community leaders. Researchers say those sites didn't have the debris and household trash that was found in the other homes. Stone tools, animal bones, arrowheads and other artifacts were found throughout the village site.
Stonehenge is a popular tourist spot in England. It is a huge circle made out of stones, which were placed in a grass field in southern England. The stone arches were made with two stones at the bottom and one across the top. All of the stones weigh a lot more than a big car. Scientists have long wondered not only how people built Stonehenge, but also why.
28. The passage is mainly about________.
A. researchers working at Stonehenge
B. a village site near Stonehenge
C. the wooden version of Stonehenge
D. builders of Stonehenge and the house
答案:B 主旨大意題。本文講述了在Stonehenge附近的一個村莊的遺址。
29. What can be inferred about Stonehenge from the passage?
A. Stonehenge was built before 2,600 B. C.
B. Stonehenge was built in the village.
C. Stonehenge was built for the community leaders.
D. Stonehenge was important for the villagers.
答案:D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中Researchers believe Stonehenge was a memorial site or cemetery for the villagers可知,Stonehenge對于村民們來說很重要。
30. What can we learn about the village site?
A. The wooden version of the stone circle was a memorial.
B. Household rubbish can be found in all the houses.
C. People can still see beds and storage unit in the houses.
D. Each of the wooden houses is about 25 square meters.
答案:D 數(shù)字計算題。第三段中談到木房子是正方形,每邊長14英尺,約合5米,因此每個房子的面積是25平方米。
31. The shape of the stone arches was a bit like the letter________.
A. u B. w
C. n D. m
答案:C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中The stone arches were made with two stones at the bottom and one across the top.可知,其形狀與字母n很相像。
D
Angry Birds is a video game developed by Finnish computer game developer Rovio Mobile. Inspired primarily by a sketch of stylized wingless birds, the game was first released for Apple's mobile operating system in December 2009. Since then, over 12 million copies of the game have been purchased from Apple's App Store.
With its fast-growing popularity worldwide, the game and its characters-angry birds and their enemy pigs-h(huán)ave appeared in television programs throughout the world. The Israeli comedy A Wonderful country, one of the nation's most popular TV programs, satirized (諷刺) recent failed Israeli-Palestinian peace attempts by featuring the angry birds in peace negotiations with the pigs. Clips of the segment went prevailing,_getting viewers from all around the world. American television hosts Conan O'Brien, Jon Stewart, and Daniel Tosh have referenced the game in comedy sketches for their programs, Conan, The Daily Show, and Dash. O. Some of the game's more famous fans include Prime Minister David Cameron of the UK, who plays the iPad version of the game, and Salman Rushdie, who is believed to be something of a master at Angry Birds.
Angry Birds and its characters have also been featured in advertisements in different forms. In March 2011, the characters began appearing in a series of advertisements for Microsoft's Bing search engine. In the same year, Nokia produced an advertisement in Austin, Texas that included the game's characters on a downtown building for its new mobile phone. Later,a T-Mobile advertisement filmed in Spain included a real-life mock-up (實物模型) of the game in a city center. Nokia also used the game in Malaysia to promote an attempt to set a world record for the largest number of people playing a single mobile game.
Angry Birds has even inspired works of philosophical analogy(哲學(xué)類比). A five-part essay with the title “Angry Birds Yoga-How to Eliminate the Green Pigs in Your Life” was written by Giridhari Dasar in Brazil, utilizing the characters and gameplay mechanics to interpret various concepts of yoga philosophy. The piece attracted much media attention for its unique method of philosophical presentation.
本文主要介紹憤怒的小鳥這個游戲是如何產(chǎn)生及如何受到人們的歡迎的。
32. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To explain how the video game Angry Birds was devised.
B. To investigate why Angry Birds quickly becomes popular.
C. To introduce Angry Birds and its characters in TV programs and advertisements.
D. To report on the spread of Angry Birds in different media around the world.

33. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “prevailing” in Paragraph 2?
A. apparent B. popular
C. exciting D. disgusting
答案:B 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段開頭的“With its fast-growing popularity worldwide”和畫線詞后面的“getting viewers from all around the world”可知,畫線詞與popular的意思最為接近,故選B。
34. According to the text, which of the following is good at playing Angry Birds?
A. Salman Rushdie. B. Conan O'Brien.
C. Giridhari Dasar. D. Daniel Tosh.
答案:A 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Some of the game's more famous fans include Prime Minister David Cameron of the UK, who plays the iPad version of the game, and Salman Rushdie, who is believed to be something of a master at Angry Birds.”可知,Salman Rushdie擅長玩憤怒的小鳥。
35. Which of the following is TRUE about Angry Birds according to the text?

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs. ___36___Some people are compulsive (難以自制的) shoppers. Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games.
___37___ Many people enjoy going to malls or stores more and more every day, but it's more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned into shopaholics (購物狂). They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it. They are hooked (把……勾住) on shopping and usually buy things that they don't need. Even though they don't have enough money, they buy everything they want.
The question is, why do they have this addiction? There isn't a specific answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried, upset or lonely and they want to feel better. They use this activity as a way to forget their problems. Shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something. ___38___
Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction, but it can bring out problems. Some of them can be psychological (心理上的). If this is the case, people addicted to (對……上癮) shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit. However, the process, like for most addictions, is long, and they suffer a lot. ___39___ They just think about satisfying their feelings, so they spend money they don't have. ___40___
A. Once you are addicted to alcohol or drugs, it is difficult to get rid of.
B. Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity.
C. They also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty.
D. However, in modern society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions.
E. People addicted to computer games consider the games as great ways to amuse themselves.
F. They get deep in debt, and they can even go bankrupt (破產(chǎn)) and get sent to prison.
G. It can also cause financial problems.
本文是說明文。有些人心情低落或感到焦慮、孤獨時喜歡逛商場買東西,這無疑是一種解決方法,但如果這種習(xí)慣不加以約束,很可能會發(fā)展成購物狂癥。
36. D 前一句講“上癮”一詞容易使人聯(lián)想到酒和毒品,后文列舉了其他幾種讓人難以自制的行為,可見如今又發(fā)展出了許多新型的“癮”,故選D。
37. B 后文提到有些人越來越喜歡逛商場買東西,漸漸變成購物狂,故此處選B。
38. C 本段講述了人們購物成癮的原因。前一句提到購物狂們說他們在買東西時會感到自己很重要,感覺很好,故選C最合此處文意。
39. G 后文提到他們瘋狂購物后覺得滿足,因此他們花錢超支,故此處選G。購物狂癥也帶來經(jīng)濟問題。
40. F 本句承接前文,瘋狂購物導(dǎo)致金錢透支,如果這種情況不加以制止,情況會越來越糟,他們可能會欠債、破產(chǎn),甚至坐牢,故選F。

閱讀下面材料,在空白處填入適當?shù)膬?nèi)容(不多于3個單詞)或括號內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。
M: First of all, thanks for taking time to have an interview with us, Rosco!
W: It's my pleasure!
M: Your marriage has always been a hot topic for many people, since you ___61___ (mention) that Jason is your first boyfriend when you got married last year!
W: Yes, some of my friends did ask me ___62___ I spoke the truth on the day of my wedding.
M: That's ___63___ (understand), as you're so beautiful. I bet many guys have gone after you!
W: Honestly, many guys have been chasing after me, even after I got married!
M: So, ___64___ hadn't you dated several guys before you got married, since you are so young? One can get more experience if he or she has dated several times!
W: Yes, this may be ___65___ case. Nowadays, many people, especially teenagers, just take dating ___66___ a casual activity. They are never serious about it! I advise teenagers ___67___ (take) a love relationship seriously, as this is a life-long matter!

本文談?wù)摰氖怯浾呔突橐鰡栴}對Rosco進行的采訪。
61. mentioned 考查時態(tài)。當since表示從過去的一個時間點延續(xù)至說話的現(xiàn)在時,通常要求主句使用動詞的現(xiàn)在完成時,而要求since從句使用一般過去時。
62. whether 考查賓語從句。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,________I spoke the truth...為ask的賓語,引導(dǎo)詞在從句中不作成分。由上下文意思可知,此處應(yīng)填whether。
63. understandable 考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。is后接形容詞作表語。再由as you're so beautiful可知應(yīng)填understandable。
64. why 考查副詞。由One can get more experience if he or she has dated several times!可知,此處問“原因”。
65.the 考查冠詞。指男士提到的情況確實存在。
66. as 考查介詞。take...as為固定用法,意為 “把……看作”。
67. to take 考查固定用法。advise sb. to do sth.為固定結(jié)構(gòu),意為“建議某人做某事”。
68. it 考查代詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,真正的主語是to find your true love,為保持句子平衡,用it作形式主語。
69. equally 考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。副詞修飾形容詞important。
70. worth 考查形容詞。根據(jù)句意“我認為你對愛的態(tài)度值得學(xué)習(xí)”,所以填worth,且be worth doing sth. 為固定結(jié)構(gòu)。
