第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节, 每题2分, 满分40分)
第一节 (共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分)
阅读下列短文, 从每小题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。
A
When imagining libraries, a quiet, well-lighted, and clean surroundings will automatically pop out in your head. However, the list of libraries you’re about to see are absolutely out of this mold. Some of them might not be ideal places to read, but I would definitely enjoy visiting them.
The Biblioburro: Delivering Books Via Donkey — Columbia
Biblioburro (the name of the library) is being operated by Luis Soriano, a primary school teacher during his spare time. Witnessing kids wearing a genuine smile each time he visits their villages in rural Colombia would surely warm anybody’s heart. Using two donkeys, Alfa and Beto to carry loads of books, Soriano spends four hours on each trip just to reach those remote places.
Biblioteca Sandro Penna — Perugia, Italy
Nope, that’s not an alien ship you are staring at. It’s not a pink bubblegum candy designed by hello kitty, either! That’s a power house of books providing library services for the people of Perugia, Italy. It features rose colored glass walls designed to let sunlight in during daytime and at night it creates a rare glow. The Architect who designed it, Italo Rota, made the three-story disc to exude (显现) an appearance of an alien flying saucer.
The Kenyan Camel Library: Serving Nomadic Populations — Kenya
The camels carry books and some camping gear. Traveling librarians need a place to rest after a long journey across the desert. The caravan (露营车) caters to nomadic communities which are mostly illiterate due to lack of access to books. The Kenya National Library Service unleashed the program in 1985.
Epos Book Boat: Floating Books In The Fjords
In the Fjords, a book boat known as Epos travels to more than 250 small communities on islands every year between September and April. On board the vessel are some 6, 000 volumes, a couple of librarians, a cook and a captain. During summertime, the boat/library turns into a leisure cruise ferry. It all started in 1959, and is funded by the libraries of the three counties it serves.
1. What do The Biblioburro and The Kenyan Camel Library have in common
A. They are mobile libraries. B. They are intended for children.
C. They are set up by individuals. D. They are animal-themed.
2. What is SPECIAL about Biblioteca Sandro Penna
A. It draws inspiration from an alien.
B. It employs natural sunlight.
C. It is designed by a powerful architect.
D. It is made of colorful glass.
3. Which library will you choose if you want to read books on the water
A. The Biblioburro. B. Biblioteca Sandro Penna.
C. The Kenyan Camel Library. D. Epos Book Boat.
B
Influenced by her family, Xu started to learn the craft of making Chinese knots at home, but didn’t expect the pastime to change her life at first. Xu became a city-level inheritor of this provincial-level intangible cultural heritage in 2009, and has been devoted to developing the craft since then.
As a fan of photography, she often took photos of dragonflies, butterflies and flowers around a lake not far from her home, then she made knots resembling them, and posted the photos on a website. That attracted the attention of some people.
As an advertising design major, she makes innovated knots based on her knowledge of design, and can use various threads to make small, exquisite designs. She has created many series of works based on traditional Chinese culture, such as festivals, tea and Peking Opera characters.
“Showing Chinese culture through traditional Chinese crafts—that is the original aspiration for me as an inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage,” says Xu. She has made more than 3,000 designs, and even opened two offline branch stores. Her products include decorations of different sizes that can be put on walls, car ornaments, cellphone chains and jewelry. “I believe our intangible cultural heritage can be better developed and passed down when it meets people’s needs in daily life,” says Xu.
Chen, an online follower, has been teaching how to make knots in the United Arab Emirates. “Influenced by Xu’s work, I learn the craft to cultivate my temperament, and I also teach children to better understand Chinese culture,” says Chen. “Chinese culture is popular in the UAE, and I often make some knots with Chinese elements for local people as gifts.”
Xu has also been generous in helping others. She taught this art to workers who lost their jobs in her hometown, allowing them to master a skill from which they could earn an income. Students and people with disabilities were also beneficiaries. Indeed, more than 20 people with disabilities now actually work for her.
Despite the success of her career, Xu says working on the craft has benefited her more in a spiritual way. “Tying knots requires concentration, and you must not be distracted during the process. It has trained me to deal with matters in a calm, peaceful and rational way,” says Xu. “I believe the life of one person is short, and you have the right to decide how to spend it.”
4. With the knowledge of design, Xu can ________.
A. post plenty of attractive photos on the website
B. draw the Peking Opera characters more vividly
C. make many creative knots related to Chinese culture
D. take many professional photos of animals and flowers
5. What can we learn about Xu
A. She plans to open more offline branch stores abroad.
B. She designs products with a focus on people’s everyday needs.
C. She is well-known for teaching how to make knots in the UAE.
D. She wants to help disabled students improve their concentration.
6. According to the passage, which of the following words can best describe Xu
A. Honest and easy-going. B. Modest and strong-willed.
C. Humorous and hard-working. D. Innovative and kind-hearted.
7. Which would be the best title for this passage
A. Traditional Chinese Crafts Go Global
B. Chinese Knot-making, a Skill Not to be Ignored
C. Traditional Chinese Culture Becomes Fashionable
D. Chinese Knot-making, a Chance for the Unemployed
C
Scientists at the Sanxingdui Ruins in southwest China’s Sichuan Province continue to unearth over 500 relics from an ancient Chinese civilization that dates back over 3,000 years.
The findings unearthed in June include a fully preserved gold mask, which stands at 37. 2cm wide and16. 5cm tall. The new gold mask reminded people of the one found in March, which was far more damaged. Scientists said the gold mask is the largest, and most well preserved, of similar golden relics discovered at the Sanxingdui Ruins, and it is consistent with the idea that gold was important to people of the area called the Shu state.
The gold mask has similar facial features to bronze statues discovered in the area. It has large eyes covering much of the face, a big nose, huge ears and a flat, wide mouth. The strange facial features led some people to suggest they were aliens. However, Wang Wei, the director of the Institute of Archaeology at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, explained, “There is no chance that Sanxingdui belongs to an alien civilization. These wide-eyed masks look strange because the makers wanted to copy the look of deities (神灵). They shouldn’t be considered as the look of everyday people.”
Besides the mask, other discoveries included bronze statues, a knife made out of jade and a series of relics made of ivory, among many others. Many of the bronze relics are brand new discoveries and unique to anything found before in China. Chinese scientists said they are highly detailed, with statues showing facial features that fit well with the gold mask, which make them as valuable resources for the research of ancient Shu and give better perceptiveness about the ancient Shu state, home to a mysterious civilization until the recent discoveries proved its existence. Chinese scientists believe they are entering a “key stage” and expect to find a series of relics that will change how people think about ancient China.
8. What do we know about the gold mask from paragraph 2
A. It was discovered in March.
B. It was the first to be dug at the site.
C. It is the most complete relic ever discovered.
D. It is the largest size of its kind unearthed at the site.
9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The significance of the gold mask.
B. The characteristics of the gold mask.
C. The findings in the Sanxingdui Ruins.
D. The digging process of the Sanxingdui Ruins.
10. What does the underline word “perceptiveness” in the last Paragraph mean
A. Insight. B. Civilization.
C. Development. D. Introduction.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. An Ancient Shu State Was Newly Discovered
B. Mysterious Sanxingdui Ruins Reveal More Relics
C. Sichuan Province Is the Birthplace of a New Civilization
D. New Sanxingdui Ruins Catch the Attention of Chinese scientists
D
Why isn’t science better Look at career incentives.
There are often substantial gaps between the idealized and actual versions of those people whose work involves providing a social good. Government officials are supposed to work for their constituents. Journalists are supposed to provide unbiased reporting and penetrating analysis. And scientists are supposed to relentlessly probe the fabric of reality with the most rigorous and skeptical of methods.
All too often, however, what should be just isn’t so. In a number of scientific fields, published findings turn out not to replicate (复制), or to have smaller effects than, what was initially claimed. Plenty of science does replicate — meaning the experiments turn out the same way when you repeat them — but the amount that doesn’t is too much for comfort.
But there are also ways in which scientists increase their chances of getting it wrong. Running studies with small samples, mining data for correlations and forming hypotheses to fit an experiment’s results after the fact are just some of the ways to increase the number of false discoveries.
It’s not like we don’t know how to do better. Scientists who study scientific methods have known about feasible remedies for decades. Unfortunately, their advice often falls on deaf ears. Why Why aren’t scientific methods better than they are In a word: incentives. But perhaps not in the way you think.
In the 1970s, psychologists and economists began to point out the danger in relying on quantitative measures for social decision-making. For example, when public schools are evaluated by students’ performance on standardized tests, teachers respond by teaching “to the test”. In turn, the test serves largely as of how well the school can prepare students for the test.
We can see this principle—often summarized as “when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure”—playing out in the realm of research. Science is a competitive enterprise. There are far more credentialed (授以证书的) scholars and researchers than there are university professorships or comparably prestigious research positions. Once someone acquires a research position, there is additional competition for tenure (终身教授) grant funding, and support and placement for graduate students. Due to this competition for resources, scientists must be evaluated and compared. How do you tell if someone is a good scientist
An oft-used metric (标准,度量) is the number of publications one has in peer-reviewed journals, as well as the status of those journals. Metrics like these make it straightforward to compare researchers whose work may otherwise be quite different. Unfortunately, this also makes these numbers susceptible to exploitation.
If scientists are motivated to publish often and in high-impact journals, we might expect them to actively try to game the system (钻空子). And certainly, some do—as seen in recent high-profile cases of scientific fraud (欺诈). If malicious (恶意的) fraud is the prime concern, then perhaps the solution is simply heightened alertness.
However, most scientists are, I believe, genuinely interested in learning about the world, and honest. The problem with incentives is that they can shape cultural norms without any intention on the part of individuals.
12. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Scientists are expected to persistently devoted to exploration of reality.
B. The research findings fail to achieve the expected effect.
C. Hypotheses are modified to highlight the experiments’ results.
D. The amount of science that does replicate is comforting.
13. What does deaf ears in the fourth paragraph probably refer to
A. The public. B. The incentive initiators.
C. The peer researchers. D. The high-impact journal editors.
14. Which of the following does the author probably agree with
A. Good scientists excel in seeking resources and securing research positions.
B. Competition for resources pushes researchers to publish in a more productive way.
C. All the credentialed scholars and researchers will take up university professorships.
D. The number of publication reveals how scientists are bitterly exploited.
15. According to the author, what might be a remedy for the fundamental problem in scientific research
A. High-impact journals are encouraged to reform the incentives for publication.
B. The peer-review process is supposed to scale up inspection of scientific fraud.
C. Researchers are motivated to get actively involved in gaming the current system.
D. Career incentives for scientists are expected to consider their personal intention.
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。
In this article we want to present why nature conservation and the promotion of sustainable development principles are important.
Environmental protection prevents natural disasters. Nature struggles for balance. This is how forests absorb CO2, grow and change it into oxygen. This provides an opportunity for life and also slows down climate change. The destruction of forests greatly changes the climate of entire regions, or even causes powerful floods. ____16____
Environmental protection stimulates research and technological innovation. The idea for the first flying machine was inspired by bird observation. The rainforest is the richest source of many medicines. Almost every animal and plant has its own technical secrets. ____17____ With the disappearance of ecosystems and wildlife species, the base for scientific research and technical improvement is nowhere to find.
Protecting the environment is protecting people. The loss of natural resources leads to economic crises, wars or diseases. ____18____ For example, the reduction of the population of bees will affect not only the production of honey, but also the whole food production system. No bees — no honey, no fruit, very few vegetables. This leads to hunger, disease, migration and war.
____19____ We meet with like-minded people. Any local success — the rescue of an endangered population for reserves — becomes a cause for global joy and inspires more participation.
We humans are part of nature and its cycles ourselves. Our impact on ecosystems has noticeable influence on our daily lives. But it can be predicted and avoided if you think with your head and act carefully. ____20____ Even small deeds can improve the state of nature and our life on the planet.
A. People spy on them and copy.
B. We are strongly dependent on it.
C. Respect for ecosystems helps to avoid such troubles.
D. And positive change can be promoted in the same way.
E. Taking part in environmental protection is a source of joy.
F. We consume the world’s natural resources in our daily life.
G. Even small changes in the ecosystem can cause huge disasters.

Western holidays such as Christmas, Valentine’s Day, are getting more and more popular in China. Some Chinese people even get crazy at them. But at the same time, people seem to have more enthusiasm for our traditional festivals such as the Spring Festival and the Moon Festival. However, most people celebrate western holidays without know the meaning behind them. They just go shopping, held parties and have fun.
In my opinion, the celebration of western holidays is good way of learning about the western cultures, which help to promote understanding and communication between Chinese cultures and other cultures. However, the celebration can make our life more interesting as well as. However, we should make greatly efforts to preserve and enrich their own traditional culture.

The Biblioburro: Delivering Books Via Donkey — Columbia
Biblioburro (the name of the library) is being operated by Luis Soriano, a primary school teacher during his spare time. Witnessing kids wearing a genuine smile each time he visits their villages in rural Colombia would surely warm anybody’s heart. Using two donkeys, Alfa and Beto to carry loads of books, Soriano spends four hours on each trip just to reach those remote places.
Biblioteca Sandro Penna — Perugia, Italy
Nope, that’s not an alien ship you are staring at. It’s not a pink bubblegum candy designed by hello kitty, either! That’s a power house of books providing library services for the people of Perugia, Italy. It features rose colored glass walls designed to let sunlight in during daytime and at night it creates a rare glow. The Architect who designed it, Italo Rota, made the three-story disc to exude (显现) an appearance of an alien flying saucer.
The Kenyan Camel Library: Serving Nomadic Populations — Kenya
The camels carry books and some camping gear. Traveling librarians need a place to rest after a long journey across the desert. The caravan (露营车) caters to nomadic communities which are mostly illiterate due to lack of access to books. The Kenya National Library Service unleashed the program in 1985.
Epos Book Boat: Floating Books In The Fjords
In the Fjords, a book boat known as Epos travels to more than 250 small communities on islands every year between September and April. On board the vessel are some 6, 000 volumes, a couple of librarians, a cook and a captain. During summertime, the boat/library turns into a leisure cruise ferry. It all started in 1959, and is funded by the libraries of the three counties it serves.

Influenced by her family, Xu started to learn the craft of making Chinese knots at home, but didn’t expect the pastime to change her life at first. Xu became a city-level inheritor of this provincial-level intangible cultural heritage in 2009, and has been devoted to developing the craft since then.
As a fan of photography, she often took photos of dragonflies, butterflies and flowers around a lake not far from her home, then she made knots resembling them, and posted the photos on a website. That attracted the attention of some people.
As an advertising design major, she makes innovated knots based on her knowledge of design, and can use various threads to make small, exquisite designs. She has created many series of works based on traditional Chinese culture, such as festivals, tea and Peking Opera characters.
“Showing Chinese culture through traditional Chinese crafts—that is the original aspiration for me as an inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage,” says Xu. She has made more than 3,000 designs, and even opened two offline branch stores. Her products include decorations of different sizes that can be put on walls, car ornaments, cellphone chains and jewelry. “I believe our intangible cultural heritage can be better developed and passed down when it meets people’s needs in daily life,” says Xu.
Chen, an online follower, has been teaching how to make knots in the United Arab Emirates. “Influenced by Xu’s work, I learn the craft to cultivate my temperament, and I also teach children to better understand Chinese culture,” says Chen. “Chinese culture is popular in the UAE, and I often make some knots with Chinese elements for local people as gifts.”
Xu has also been generous in helping others. She taught this art to workers who lost their jobs in her hometown, allowing them to master a skill from which they could earn an income. Students and people with disabilities were also beneficiaries. Indeed, more than 20 people with disabilities now actually work for her.
Despite the success of her career, Xu says working on the craft has benefited her more in a spiritual way. “Tying knots requires concentration, and you must not be distracted during the process. It has trained me to deal with matters in a calm, peaceful and rational way,” says Xu. “I believe the life of one person is short, and you have the right to decide how to spend it.”
4. With the knowledge of design, Xu can ________.
A. post plenty of attractive photos on the website
B. draw the Peking Opera characters more vividly
C. make many creative knots related to Chinese culture
D. take many professional photos of animals and flowers
5. What can we learn about Xu
A. She plans to open more offline branch stores abroad.
B. She designs products with a focus on people’s everyday needs.
C. She is well-known for teaching how to make knots in the UAE.
D. She wants to help disabled students improve their concentration.
6. According to the passage, which of the following words can best describe Xu
A. Honest and easy-going. B. Modest and strong-willed.
C. Humorous and hard-working. D. Innovative and kind-hearted.
7. Which would be the best title for this passage
A. Traditional Chinese Crafts Go Global
B. Chinese Knot-making, a Skill Not to be Ignored
C. Traditional Chinese Culture Becomes Fashionable
D. Chinese Knot-making, a Chance for the Unemployed

Scientists at the Sanxingdui Ruins in southwest China’s Sichuan Province continue to unearth over 500 relics from an ancient Chinese civilization that dates back over 3,000 years.
The findings unearthed in June include a fully preserved gold mask, which stands at 37. 2cm wide and16. 5cm tall. The new gold mask reminded people of the one found in March, which was far more damaged. Scientists said the gold mask is the largest, and most well preserved, of similar golden relics discovered at the Sanxingdui Ruins, and it is consistent with the idea that gold was important to people of the area called the Shu state.
The gold mask has similar facial features to bronze statues discovered in the area. It has large eyes covering much of the face, a big nose, huge ears and a flat, wide mouth. The strange facial features led some people to suggest they were aliens. However, Wang Wei, the director of the Institute of Archaeology at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, explained, “There is no chance that Sanxingdui belongs to an alien civilization. These wide-eyed masks look strange because the makers wanted to copy the look of deities (神灵). They shouldn’t be considered as the look of everyday people.”
Besides the mask, other discoveries included bronze statues, a knife made out of jade and a series of relics made of ivory, among many others. Many of the bronze relics are brand new discoveries and unique to anything found before in China. Chinese scientists said they are highly detailed, with statues showing facial features that fit well with the gold mask, which make them as valuable resources for the research of ancient Shu and give better perceptiveness about the ancient Shu state, home to a mysterious civilization until the recent discoveries proved its existence. Chinese scientists believe they are entering a “key stage” and expect to find a series of relics that will change how people think about ancient China.
8. What do we know about the gold mask from paragraph 2
A. It was discovered in March.
B. It was the first to be dug at the site.
C. It is the most complete relic ever discovered.
D. It is the largest size of its kind unearthed at the site.
9. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The significance of the gold mask.
B. The characteristics of the gold mask.
C. The findings in the Sanxingdui Ruins.
D. The digging process of the Sanxingdui Ruins.
10. What does the underline word “perceptiveness” in the last Paragraph mean
A. Insight. B. Civilization.
C. Development. D. Introduction.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. An Ancient Shu State Was Newly Discovered
B. Mysterious Sanxingdui Ruins Reveal More Relics
C. Sichuan Province Is the Birthplace of a New Civilization
D. New Sanxingdui Ruins Catch the Attention of Chinese scientists

Why isn’t science better Look at career incentives.
There are often substantial gaps between the idealized and actual versions of those people whose work involves providing a social good. Government officials are supposed to work for their constituents. Journalists are supposed to provide unbiased reporting and penetrating analysis. And scientists are supposed to relentlessly probe the fabric of reality with the most rigorous and skeptical of methods.
All too often, however, what should be just isn’t so. In a number of scientific fields, published findings turn out not to replicate (复制), or to have smaller effects than, what was initially claimed. Plenty of science does replicate — meaning the experiments turn out the same way when you repeat them — but the amount that doesn’t is too much for comfort.
But there are also ways in which scientists increase their chances of getting it wrong. Running studies with small samples, mining data for correlations and forming hypotheses to fit an experiment’s results after the fact are just some of the ways to increase the number of false discoveries.
It’s not like we don’t know how to do better. Scientists who study scientific methods have known about feasible remedies for decades. Unfortunately, their advice often falls on deaf ears. Why Why aren’t scientific methods better than they are In a word: incentives. But perhaps not in the way you think.
In the 1970s, psychologists and economists began to point out the danger in relying on quantitative measures for social decision-making. For example, when public schools are evaluated by students’ performance on standardized tests, teachers respond by teaching “to the test”. In turn, the test serves largely as of how well the school can prepare students for the test.
We can see this principle—often summarized as “when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure”—playing out in the realm of research. Science is a competitive enterprise. There are far more credentialed (授以证书的) scholars and researchers than there are university professorships or comparably prestigious research positions. Once someone acquires a research position, there is additional competition for tenure (终身教授) grant funding, and support and placement for graduate students. Due to this competition for resources, scientists must be evaluated and compared. How do you tell if someone is a good scientist
An oft-used metric (标准,度量) is the number of publications one has in peer-reviewed journals as well as the status of those journals. Metrics like these make it straightforward to compare researchers whose work may otherwise be quite different. Unfortunately, this also makes these numbers susceptible to exploitation.
If scientists are motivated to publish often and in high-impact journals, we might expect them to actively try to game the system (钻空子). And certainly, some do—as seen in recent high-profile cases of scientific fraud (欺诈). If malicious (恶意的) fraud is the prime concern, then perhaps the solution is simply heightened alertness.
However, most scientists are, I believe, genuinely interested in learning about the world, and honest. The problem with incentives is that they can shape cultural norms without any intention on the part of individuals.
12. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Scientists are expected to persistently devoted to exploration of reality.
B. The research findings fail to achieve the expected effect.
C. Hypotheses are modified to highlight the experiments’ results.
D. The amount of science that does replicate is comforting.
13. What does deaf ears in the fourth paragraph probably refer to
A. The public. B. The incentive initiators.
C. The peer researchers. D. The high-impact journal editors.
14. Which of the following does the author probably agree with
A. Good scientists excel in seeking resources and securing research positions.
B. Competition for resources pushes researchers to publish in a more productive way.
C. All the credentialed scholars and researchers will take up university professorships.
D. The number of publication reveals how scientists are bitterly exploited.
15. According to the author, what might be a remedy for the fundamental problem in scientific research
A. High-impact journals are encouraged to reform the incentives for publication.
B. The peer-review process is supposed to scale up inspection of scientific fraud.
C. Researchers are motivated to get actively involved in gaming the current system.
D. Career incentives for scientists are expected to consider their personal intention.

(由于对资源的这种竞争,必须对科学家进行评估和比较)”和第八段的“An oft-used metric (标准,度量) is the number of publications one has in peer-reviewed journals, as well as the status of those journals. Metrics like these make it straightforward to compare researchers whose work may otherwise be quite different.(一个常用的指标是一个人在同行评议期刊上发表的文章数量,以及这些期刊的地位。像这样的指标可以直接比较研究人员,否则他们的工作可能会有很大的不同)”推知,作者认为资源竞争促使研究人员以更有成效的方式发表文章。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“The problem with incentives is that they can shape cultural norms without any intention on the part of individuals.(激励的问题在于,它们可以在个人没有任何意图的情况下形成文化规范)”可知,作者认为科学家的职业激励应该考虑他们的个人意愿。故选D。
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。
In this article, we want to present why nature conservation and the promotion of sustainable development principles are important.
Environmental protection prevents natural disasters. Nature struggles for balance. This is how forests absorb CO2, grow and change it into oxygen. This provides an opportunity for life and also slows down climate change. The destruction of forests greatly changes the climate of entire regions, or even causes powerful floods. ____16____
Environmental protection stimulates research and technological innovation. The idea for the first flying machine was inspired by bird observation. The rainforest is the richest source of many medicines. Almost every animal and plant has its own technical secrets. ____17____ With the disappearance of ecosystems and wildlife species, the base for scientific research and technical improvement is nowhere to find.
Protecting the environment is protecting people. The loss of natural resources leads to economic crises, wars or diseases. ____18____ For example, the reduction of the population of bees will affect not only the production of honey, but also the whole food production system. No bees — no honey, no fruit, very few vegetables. This leads to hunger, disease, migration and war.
____19____ We meet with like-minded people. Any local success — the rescue of an endangered population for reserves — becomes a cause for global joy and inspires more participation.
We humans are part of nature and its cycles ourselves. Our impact on ecosystems has noticeable influence on our daily lives. But it can be predicted and avoided if you think with your head and act carefully. ____20____ Even small deeds can improve the state of nature and our life on the planet.
A. People spy on them and copy.
B. We are strongly dependent on it.
C. Respect for ecosystems helps to avoid such troubles.
D. And positive change can be promoted in the same way.
E. Taking part in environmental protection is a source of joy.
F. We consume the world’s natural resources in our daily life.
G. Even small changes in the ecosystem can cause huge disasters.
【答案】16. C 17. A 18. G 19. E 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述保护自然和促进可持续发展原则的一些理由。
【16题详解】
空格前“The destruction of forests greatly changes the climate of entire regions, or even causes powerful floods.(森林的破坏极大地改变了整个地区的气候,甚至导致了强大的洪水。)”讲的是破坏森林会造成一些严重后果,C选项“Respect for ecosystems helps to avoid such troubles.(对生态系统的尊重有助于避免这些麻烦。)”提出尊重生态系统的必要性,其中的“avoid such troubles”承接前一句的内容,且是对本段的总结,呼应主题句,因此C选项符合语境,故选C。
【17题详解】
本段主题句是“Environmental protection stimulates research and technological innovation.(环境保护激励研究和技术创新。)”,空格前一句说“Almost every animal and plant has its own technical secrets.(几乎每一种动植物都有自己的技术秘密。)”,A项“People spy on them and copy.(人们监视他们,模仿他们。)”中的them指代前一句中的“technical secrets”,且指出人们通过对它们的技术秘密进行研究,应用于人类本身,呼应本段主题,因此A选项符合语境,故选A。
【18题详解】
空格处与前一句是递进关系,G项“Even small changes in the ecosystem can cause huge disasters.(即使是生态系统的微小变化也会造成巨大的灾难。)”与前一句动词都是“导致、造成”,都在说明一个现象造成了结果,其中的“Even small changes in the ecosystem”是对“The loss of natural resources”的更进一步说明,“cause huge disasters”呼应前一句的“economic crises, wars or diseases”,灾难的具体内容通过下文蜜蜂的例子加以具体说明,因此G选项承上启下,符合语境,故选G。
【19题详解】
空格处为本段落的主题句。由空格后的“We meet with like-minded people. Any local success—the rescue of an endangered population for reserves—becomes a cause for global joy and inspires more participation.(我们会遇到志同道合的人。任何地方的成功——为保护区拯救濒危物种——都会成为全球的喜悦,并激发更多的参与。)”可知,本段主要讲的是参加保护环境的活动可以给人带来快乐,E选项“Taking part in environmental protection is a source of joy.(参与环保是一种快乐的源泉。)”说明参加环保活动可以给人带来快乐,因此E选项可作为本段主题句,故选E。
【20题详解】
空格后说“Even small deeds can improve the state of nature and our life on the planet.(即使是小小的行为也能改善自然状态和我们在这个星球上的生活。)”,说明我们的行为可以带来积极的变化,D选项“And positive change can be promoted in the same way.(积极的改变也能以同样的方式被促进。)”中的“positive change”即是下文的“improve the state of nature and our life on the planet”,且说明了我们的行为能带来的积极变化,因此D选项承上启下,符合语境,故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了国内暑期热门的动画电影《长安三万里》。
【61题详解】
考查时态。句意:这部史诗级的电影以陕西省的古城长安命名,长安作为唐朝的都城长达280多年,电影时长为168分钟,是中国动画电影中最长的,它将中国文学史上一些最具代表性的人物栩栩如生地展现出来。分析句子可知,空处作从句的谓语,此处讲述的是唐朝发生的事情,时态应用一般过去时,serve应用过去式。故填served。

【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:尽管李白和杜甫在许多电影和电视节目中都有出现,但这部电影采用了一种非常规的视角,从高适的回忆开始,讲述了李白这位举国最受爱戴的诗人之一的跌宕起伏的生活。分析句子可知,空处表示目的,作目的状语,应用relate的不定式形式。故填to relate。

【67题详解】
考查形容词。句意:它展示了古代长安熙熙攘攘的街道,充满活力和繁荣的扬州城,以及中国西北荒凉和白雪皑皑的边疆。分析句子可知,空处和prosperous并列,作修饰city的定语,应用形容词energetic,意为“充满活力的”。故填energetic。
【68题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:例如,在科举考试中,一举夺魁的状元们被授予特权,骑着骏马,从都城的任何一个住宅采下最精美的鲜花。根据空后的描述以及科举考试的常识可知,此处指一举夺魁的状元们,即获得最高成绩的人,空处应用high的最高级形式。故填highest。

【70题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:此外,诗人还会去当地的酒馆,在那里欣赏异域舞者迷人的舞姿和悠扬的歌声,品尝葡萄酒,创作诗歌。分析句子可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,对先行词local taverns作补充说明,先行词在从句中地点状语,应用关系副词where作引导词。故填where。
第四部分 写作 (共两节, 满分35分)
第一节 短文改错 (共10 小题, 每小题1 分, 满分10 分)
71. 短文改错
Western holidays such as Christmas, Valentine’s Day, are getting more and more popular in China. Some Chinese people even get crazy at them. But at the same time, people seem to have more enthusiasm for our traditional festivals such as the Spring Festival and the Moon Festival. However, most people celebrate western holidays without know the meaning behind them. They just go shopping, held parties and have fun.
In my opinion, the celebration of western holidays is good way of learning about the western cultures, which help to promote understanding and communication between Chinese cultures and other cultures. However, the celebration can make our life more interesting as well as. However, we should make greatly efforts to preserve and enrich their own traditional culture.
【答案】第一处: at改为about
第二处: more改为less
第三处: know改为knowing
第四处: held改为hold
第五处:在good前加a
第六处: help改为helps
第七处: However改为Besides
第八处:删掉第二个as
第九处:greatly改为great
第十处: their改为our
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文,作者介绍了中国人热衷于过洋节这一现象并发表了自己的看法。
【详解】第一处:考查固定搭配。句意:甚至有些中国人对它们很狂热。be crazy about表示“对……狂热”,故at改为about。
第二处:考查形容词比较级。句意:与此同时,人们似乎对春节、中秋节这样的传统节日不太热情。根据句意可知此处表示“更少”,故more改为less。
第三处:考查非谓语动词。句意:然而,大多数人庆祝西方节日却不知其背后的意义。介词without后接动名词作宾语,故know改为knowing。
第四处:考查时态。句意:他们只是去购物,开派对和玩得开心。根据go和have判断此处用一般现在时,故held改为hold。
第五处:考查冠词。句意:我认为,庆祝西方节日是一种学习西方文化的好方法,这有助于促进中国文化和其他文化之间的理解和交流。way是可数名词,此处用不定冠词表示泛指,故在good前加a。
第六处:考查主谓一致。句意参考上题解析,非限定性定语从句的关系代词which指的是a good way,谓语应该用第三人称单数,故help改为helps。
第七处:考查副词。句意:此外,庆祝活动也可以使我们的生活更有趣。此处表示并列而非转折关系,故However改为Besides。
第八处:考查as well与as well as的区别。句意参考上题解析,as well as连接两个并列的成分,此处用as well作状语,表示“也、还”,第二个as是多余的,故删掉第二个as。
第九处:考查形容词。句意:我们应该努力保护和丰富我们自己的传统文化。修饰名词 efforts用形容词,故greatly改为great。
第十处:考查代词,句意参考上提解析,根据句意可知此处表示“我们的”,故their改为our。
【点睛】注意虽然as well和as well as都表示“也、还”,但在用法上相差甚远,as well常作状语,相当于too或also,常位于句末,无需用逗号与句子分开,而as well as常用来连接两个并列的成分,起连词作用。
