A
If you’re traveling to South America in summer, you should have Patagonia (at the southern end of South America) high up on your list of things to do. With this list, I show you the best places to visit in Patagonia. The climate down there is pretty rough, especially in the very south—if you plan to do hiking or camping, the ideal moment for a trip is between the end of November and the beginning of March.
1. Bariloche, Argentina
The fact that Bariloche is well connected (airport, direct bus to and from Buenos Aires) makes it the perfect starting point of a round trip through Patagonia. But more than that: the combination of mountains, lakes and green forests results in its beautiful scenery.
2. Futaleufú, Chile
Further down south and a bit harder to access is the small Chilean village Futaleufú which is located at the border to Argentina. The reason which makes it worth it: the Futaleufú River is often referred to as one of the best white water spots for rafting in the world. The landscape along the river is unique and, due to its location, still pretty much untouched.
3. Puerto Rio Tranquilo, Chile
If you want to get there quickly, you should travel through Argentina and cross over to Chile Chico as this place is also very remote. The reason to do so: the marble caves in the General Carrera lake.
4. Torres del Paine, Chile
Personally the national park Torres del Paine is my top pick in Patagonia you should take some time and do a multi-day trek to experience as much of it as possible: glaciers, forests, impressive mountain ranges, lagoons and rivers.
1. What is the best time for hiking in Patagonia
A. October 1—November 1. B. December 25—February15.
C. March 5—April 1. D. November 5—June 7.
2. What makes Futaleufú worth visiting
A. Its unique location. B. Its easy accessibility.
C. Its untouched landscapes. D. Its rafting sports.
3. Which place attracts the author most in Patagonia
A. Bariloche. B. Futaleufú
C. Puerto Rio Tranquilo. D. Torres del Paine.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍的是Patagonia最值得去的一些地方。
1题详解】
细节理解题。根据首段中“The climate down there is pretty rough, especially in the very south—if you plan to do hiking or camping, the ideal moment for a trip is between the end of November and the beginning of March.(那里的气候非常恶劣，尤其是在最南部——如果你打算徒步旅行或露营，理想的旅行时间是在11月底到3月初之间。)”可知，去Patagonia徒步旅行的最佳时间是在11月底到3月初，所以12月25日到2月15日的时间在该时间范围。故选B项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据2. Futaleufú, Chile 部分中的“The reason which makes it worth it: the Futaleufú River is often referred to as one of the best white water spots for rafting in the world. The landscape along the river is unique and, due to its location, still pretty much untouched.(值得一游的原因是：Futaleufú河通常被认为是世界上漂流最好的白水点之一。沿河的风景是独特的，由于它的位置，仍然几乎没有受到影响。)”可知，由于地理位置，现在Futaleufú还有很多没有开发过的地方，所以这些没有开发过的风景使得Futaleufú值得一游。故选C项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据4. Torres del Paine, Chile 部分中的“Personally the national park Torres del Paine is my top pick in Patagonia you should take some time and do a multi-day trek to experience as much of it as possible: glaciers, forests, impressive mountain ranges, lagoons and rivers.(就我个人而言，托雷斯德尔潘恩国家公园是我在巴塔哥尼亚的首选，你应该花一些时间，进行几天的徒步旅行，尽可能多地体验它:冰川，森林，令人印象深刻的山脉，泻湖和河流。)”可知，Torres del Paine公园是作者在巴塔哥尼亚的首选，所以Torres del Paine最吸引作者。故选D项。
B
Naturalist Enzo Suma, who is now 40, lives in Puglia, a region in southern Italy whose long coastline faces the Adriatic Sea. Floating waste accumulates in this relatively enclosed part of the Mediterranean, unlike the open ocean, where the waste tends to be spread over a vast area. Feeling concerned about that, Suma makes it a habit to pick up the washed-up waste along the shore, especially after big winter storms.
One day, Suma was walking along the beach near his home when he discovered a bottle of Coke. Suma noticed on the bottle that the price, clearly printed on the bottom, was in lire, a currency (货币) that hadn’t been used in Italy since it was replaced by the euro in 2002. Could a plastic container have well survived in the Mediterranean, he wondered, for about two decades
That led him to founding the Archeoplastica museum. It has a collection of about 500 unique pieces recovered from Italian shores and the Coke bottle is the first one of them. All collection demonstrates the unsettling life force of plastic waste in the environment. “Seeing that a product people may have used 30, 40, or 50 years ago remains still unchanged, you’ll feel different. It’s a great shock,” Suma said to a reporter. So Suma often exhibits selected pieces from the Archeoplastica collection at local schools around his hometown of Ostuni.
“The playful side of the work allows you to arrive at the less beautiful side of things,” Suma acknowledged. “Plastic is a kind of useful substance. But it’s unthinkable that a water bottle, made from a material designed to last so long, can be used for just a few days—or even minutes—before becoming garbage. Clean the beaches. Clean the oceans. Recycle. But if we are still throwing out plastics, none of those are going to be long-term solutions.”
4. What’s Suma’s concern about his living place
A. Its long coastline is disappearing. B. Big storms frequently hit the area.
C. Floating waste spreads over a vast area. D. The waste pollution on shore is worsening.
5. What can be learned about the objects in the Archeoplastica museum
A. They have a history of more than half a century.
B. They were quite valuable before turning into waste.
C. They’re more like educational exhibits than garbage.
D. They have stronger life force than ordinary plastic products.
6. Which of the following can best describe Enzo Suma
A. Creative, devoted and socially responsible. B. Enthusiastic, ambitious and adventurous.
C. Generous, cautious and humorous. D. Curious, efficient and playful.
7. What does Suma intend to tell us by his words in the last paragraph
A. The birth of plastics has greatly served humans.
B. The key to tackling the plastic pollution is to stop littering.
C The plastic problem can be solved by cleaning and recycling.
D. People should be more aware of the powerful functions of plastics.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述自然主义者Enzo Suma创办了Archeoplastica博物馆，通过展览向学校和社区展示塑料垃圾的持久性和环境影响，呼吁人们清理海滩、清理海洋和回收塑料以解决这一问题。
【4题详解】
细节理解题 。根据题干的“concern”可将答案定位到第一段“Feeling concerned about that...”，而前文提到“Floating waste accumulates in this relatively enclosed part of the Mediterranean, unlike the open ocean, where the waste tends to be spread over a vast area（漂浮的废物聚集在地中海这个相对封闭的部分，不像开放的海洋，废物往往分布在一个广阔的区域）”，可知他担心的是不断恶化的漂浮垃圾的问题。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题 。根据第三段对Archeoplastica博物馆的介绍，“It has a collection of about 500 unique pieces recovered from Italian shores and the Coke bottle is the first one of them. All collection demonstrates the unsettling life force of plastic waste in the environment. （它收集了大约500件从意大利海岸回收的独特物品，而可乐瓶是其中的第一个。所有的收集都显示了塑料垃圾在环境中令人不安的生命力）”，可知博物馆的展品其实就是这些能够长久存在的塑料垃圾，目的是为了唤起人们对此问题的关注，具有教育意义。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题 。通读文章可知，Enzo Suma关心环境问题，提出了颇具创新意义的解决方案，并践行自己的想法，可知他是一个有创造力、奉献精神、和社会责任感的人。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。 最后一段Suma对这个博物馆的作用意义进行评价，并再一次提醒人们塑料垃圾持久性的问题后，提到“But if we are still throwing out plastics, none of those are going to be long-term solutions （但如果我们还在扔塑料，这些都不是长久之计）”，由此可知，他认为根本解决之道是停止扔垃圾。故选B。
C
Maybe you’ve wondered what you would hear if plants could speak. There is no need to wonder any longer. Ariel Novoplansky, an ecologist in Israel, set up an experiment among pea plants to study how they communicate with each other.
In the experiments, Ariel put peas in rows of containers. The Center plant in the row was the target. The pea plants had been grown with two main roots. On one side, each pea plant had one root in its own pot and the other reaching into a neighbor’s pot. The central plant connected to its closest neighbor, which connected to another neighbor, and so on down the line. On the other side, all the plants kept their roots in their own pots, unconnected to their neighbors.
With everything ready, the ecologist created a dryness for the central target plant, which had quickly closed up its leaf pores (气孔) to save water. Amazingly, six connected plants on one side gradually closed up their leaf pores, even though only one of them had experienced real dryness. On the other side, with unconnected roots pea chain, all their pores stayed open. This means the warning signal didn’t travel from the stressed plants leaves through the air, but only from its roots through the soil.
It’s possible that plants are just eavesdropping (偷听) even if the damaged plant didn’t mean to send signals to them. Maybe the damaged plant leaks certain chemicals and nearby roots could sense those signals. But the plants with connected roots that weren’t dried out passed on the drought signals to their neighbors too, which means simple eavesdropping probably isn’t the answer. They seem to be having a real conversation, picking up information on one side and sharing it with a neighbor on the other.
The benefit to a plant that receives this information is pretty clear. Your neighbor may actually be you. The plants may not be speaking with any volume, but don’t let that fool you. They around us are saying plenty.
8. Which aspect of the experiment is mainly talked about in paragraph 2
A. Its finding B. Its design. C. Its purpose. D. Its application.
9. How do plants communicate in the experiment
A. By connecting the roots. B. By opening their leaf pores.
C. By leaking certain chemicals. D. By spreading a special smell.
10. Which word best describes plant’s communication
A. Complex. B. Cooperative. C. Efficient. D. Mysterious.
11. What’s the benefit to sending a signal to plant’s neighbors
A. Helping their neighbors grow. B. Developing their roots system.
C. Improving their living condition. D. Protecting the plants and themselves.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是在豌豆植物中进行的一项实验，研究它们是如何相互交流的。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题题。根据第二段中的“In the experiments, Ariel put peas in rows of containers. The Center plant in the row was the target. The pea plants had been grown with two main roots. (在实验中，Ariel把豌豆放在一排排的容器中。排中的中心植物是目标。)”可知，在实验中，Ariel把豌豆放在一排排的容器中，一排中的中间植物为目标，结合下文中对实验中的豌豆的布置以及第三段的“With everything ready, the ecologist created a dryness for the central target plant, which had quickly closed up its leaf pores (气孔) to save water.(一切准备就绪后，生态学家为中心目标植物创造了一个干燥的环境，它迅速关闭了叶子的毛孔以节约水分。)”可知，在一切准备就绪后，生态学家开始了实验，综合以上信息可知，本段介绍的是如何设计该实验的。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This means the warning signal didn’t travel from the stressed plants leaves through the air, but only from its roots through the soil.(这意味着警告信号不是通过空气从受胁迫的植物的叶子传播，而是通过土壤从植物的根传播。)”可知，警告信号不是通过空气传播的，而是从植物的根传播，由此可知，这些植物是通过根进行联系的。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“But the plants with connected roots that weren’t dried out passed on the drought signals to their neighbors too, which means simple eavesdropping probably isn’t the answer. They seem to be having a real conversation, picking up information on one side and sharing it with a neighbor on the other.(但是根部相连的植物也会将干旱信号传递给它们的邻居，这意味着简单的窃听可能不是答案。他们似乎在进行真正的对话，一边收集信息，另一边与邻居分享。)”可知，根部相连的植物会传递给它们的邻居，他们一边收集信息，一边和邻居分享，由此可知，植物之间的交流是一种合作。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“They seem to be having a real conversation, picking up information on one side and sharing it with a neighbor on the other.(他们似乎在进行真正的对话，一边收集信息，另一边与邻居分享。)”可知，植物在进行着真正的对话，他们会把收集的信息与邻居分享，结合尾段中的“The benefit to a plant that receives this information is pretty clear. Your neighbor may actually be you. (植物接收到这些信息的好处是显而易见的。你的邻居可能就是你自己。)”可知，对于收到这些信息的植物的好处是明显的，而且你的邻居可能就是你自己，也就是说，帮助别人其实就是帮助自己，所以，发送信号给邻居的好处是保护邻居和自己。故选D项。
D
If you’ve ever started a sentence with, “If I were you...” or found yourself scratching your head at a colleague’s headache over a decision when the answer is clear, there’s a scientific reason behind it. Our own decision-making abilities can become declined over the course of the day causing indecision or poor choices, but choosing on behalf of someone else is an enjoyable task that doesn’t suffer the same trouble.
The problem is “decision fatigue”, a psychological phenomenon that greatly damages the quality of your choices after a long day of decision making says Evan Polman, a leading psychologist.
Physicians who have been on the job for several hours, for example, are more likely to prescribe antibiotics (抗生素) to patients when it’s unwise to do so. “Presumably it’s because it’s simple and easy to write a prescription and consider a patient case closed rather than investigate further,” Polman says.
But decision fatigue goes away when you are making the decision for someone else. When people imagine themselves as advisers and imagine their own choices as belonging to someone else, they feel less tired and rely less on decision shortcuts to make those choices. “By taking upon the role of adviser rather than decision maker, one does not suffer the consequences of decision fatigue,” he says. “It’s as if there’s something fun and liberating about making someone else’s choice.”
Getting input from others not only offers a fresh perspective and thought process; it often also includes riskier choices. While this sounds undesirable, it can be quite good, says Polman. “When people experience decision fatigue — when they are tired of making choices — they have a tendency to choose to go with the status quo,” he says. “But it can be problematic, since a change in the course of action can sometimes be important and lead to a positive outcome.”
12. What does the author say about people making decisions
A. They become less efficient in making decisions as the day progresses.
B. They show considerable variations in their decision-making competence.
C. They are more cautious in making decisions for others than for themselves.
D. They are more likely to make decisions in the way advantageous to themselves.
13. Why does the author mention “physicians” in paragraph 3
A. To explain a principle. B. To indicate a fact.
C. To clarify a concept. D. To illustrate a prediction.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The shortcuts to decision-making.
B. The consequences of decision fatigue.
C. The process of being a decision maker.
D. The psychology of making decisions for others.
15. What does the underlined phrase “the status quo” in paragraph 5 refer to
A. The decision fatigue. B. The existing situation.
C. The different choice. D. The positive outcome.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是“决策疲劳”这种心理现象。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据首段中的“Our own decision-making abilities can become declined over the course of the day causing indecision or poor choices, but choosing on behalf of someone else is an enjoyable task that doesn’t suffer the same trouble.(我们自己的决策能力在一天的过程中会下降，导致优柔寡断或糟糕的选择，但代表别人做选择是一项愉快的任务，不会遭受同样的麻烦)”可知，在一天的过程中，人们的决策能力会下降，二给别人做选择时，不会有这样的麻烦，由此可知，随着时间的推移，他们做决定的效率会降低。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The problem is “decision fatigue”, a psychological phenomenon that greatly damages the quality of your choices after a long day of decision making says Evan Polman, a leading psychologist.(著名心理学家埃文 波尔曼(Evan Polman)表示，问题在于“决策疲劳”，这是一种心理现象，在做了一整天的决策后，它会极大地损害你做出的选择的质量)”可知，此处讲述的是心理学家提出的一种心理现象“决策疲劳”，结合第三段中的“Physicians who have been on the job for several hours, for example, are more likely to prescribe antibiotics (抗生素) to patients when it’s unwise to do so.(例如，工作了几个小时的医生更有可能给病人开抗生素，而这样做是不明智的)”可知，此处列举了医生在工作几个小时候，在给病人开处方时，可能做出不明智的决定，由此可知，第三段中提到“医生”是为了阐明“决策疲劳”这一心理现象。故选C项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“But decision fatigue goes away when you are making the decision for someone else.(但是当你替别人做决定时，决策疲劳就会消失)”可知，代替别人做决定时，这种“决策疲劳”就会消失，结合下文中分析的为其他人做决定时的心理状态可知，本段主要讲述的是为其他人做决定时的心理现象。故选D项。
【15题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线短语前的“When people experience decision fatigue — when they are tired of making choices— they have a tendency to choose (当人们经历决策疲劳时——当他们厌倦了做选择时——他们就会倾向于选择)”可知，人们在经历决策疲劳时，倾向于选择某种处理问题的方式，结合下文中的“But it can be problematic, since a change in the course of action can sometimes be important and lead to a positive outcome.(但这可能会有问题，因为行动过程的改变有时可能很重要，并导致积极的结果)”可知，上文中的处理方式可能会有问题，因为在行动过程中，改变有时候很重要，由此可猜测，短语表达的意思是与顺应“现状”意义相近，也就是在出现“决策疲劳”时，人们倾向于选择顺应“现状”，不进行改变的处理方式。故选B项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How Star Wars Changed Movie-making Forever
“May the force be with you!” If you are a Star Wars fan, then you have probably heard this phrase many times. ____16____ So many characters, devices, and phrases from the movie have become well-known. But you might be surprised to find out how much this movie has changed how movies are made.
“A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...” is how Star Wars begins. Its plot was not ground-breaking. ____17____ The story was typical science fiction with lots of drama, traditional characters and good battling evil, in space and in hand-to-hand fight.
It was the special effects that made Star Wars stand out from other movies. People still talk about the light swords (剑) that could cut, burn and melt through most substances. Spaceships sped through space and landed on huge, realistic-looking space stations. ____18____ When Star Wars first came out in 1977, most movie theaters were stand-alone buildings, with just one movie screen. Using the money Star Wars had made for them, movie-theater owners built more theaters, leading to the multiplexes (多影厅影院) that are common today.
Theaters needed more movies to show on all the additional movie screens and in all the new multiplexes. So new movie companies sprang up, including small ones creating experimental movies. They tried out new techniques. Some of the methods became popular and others failed. ____19____
____20____ There had been movie continuations previously, but they were often just poor imitations of the first movie. The Star Wars movies were all popular. There have been two trilogies (三部曲) so far, with more planned.
A. In fact, it was quite old-fashioned.
B. Moviegoers had never seen anything like these.
C. Thus, audience began to enjoy science fiction movies there.
D. But, thanks to Star Wars, people got to see new types of movies.
E. Star Wars was the first really successful movie trilogy in history.
F. If you are not a fan, you’re still probably familiar with these words.
G. If you are a movie maker, you may be inspired by this classic film.
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. B 19. D 20. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是《星球大战》对电影制作的影响。
【16题详解】
根据空前的““May the force be with you!” If you are a Star Wars fan, then you have probably heard this phrase many times.(“愿原力与你同在!”如果你是《星球大战》的粉丝，那么你可能听过很多次这句话。)”可知，如果你是《星球大战》粉丝，可能多次听到这句话，F选项“If you are not a fan, you’re still probably familiar with these words.(如果你不是粉丝，你可能仍然对这些词很熟悉。)”的句式与空前句式一致，讲述的内容与空前内容吻合，其中的still是对空前内容的进一步阐述，these words指代的是空前的“May the force be with you!”。故选F项。
【17题详解】
根据空前的““A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...” is how Star Wars begins. Its plot was not ground-breaking.(“很久以前，在一个遥远的星系……《星球大战》就是这样开始的。它的情节并不具有突破性。)”可知，《星球大战》的情节不具有突破性，结合空后的“The story was typical science fiction with lots of drama, traditional characters and good battling evil, in space and in hand-to-hand fight.(这个故事是典型的科幻小说，有很多戏剧，传统角色和正义与邪恶的战斗，在太空和肉搏战。)”可知，该电影的故事情节是虚构的内容，由此可以推断，此空处仍是阐述《星球大战》的情节并没有什么突破，A选项“In fact, it was quite old-fashioned.(事实上，它是相当过时的。)”表达的内容与空前和空后的内容一致。故选A项。
【18题详解】
根据空前的“People still talk about the light swords (剑) that could cut, burn and melt through most substances. Spaceships sped through space and landed on huge, realistic-looking space stations.(人们仍然在谈论可以切割、燃烧和熔化大多数物质的光剑。宇宙飞船在太空中疾驰，降落在巨大而逼真的空间站上。)”可知，人们仍然在谈论《星球大战》中的这些场面，B选项“Moviegoers had never seen anything like these.(常看电影的人从未见过这样的场面。)”中的anything like these为关键信息，指代的为空前讲述的《星球大战》中的这些场面，与空前内容吻合。故选B项。
【19题详解】
根据空前的“They tried out new techniques. Some of the methods became popular and others failed.(他们试验了新技术。有些方法很流行，有些则失败了。)”可知，人们不断地尝试一些新的电影技术，有的成功了，而有的失败了，D选项“But, thanks to Star Wars, people got to see new types of movies.(但是，多亏了《星球大战》，人们看到了新类型的电影。)”可知，星球大战的新技术让人们看到了新类型的电影，与空前的很多电影院尝试创新，内容一致。故选D项。
【20题详解】
根据空后的“There had been movie continuations previously, but they were often just poor imitations of the first movie. The Star Wars movies were all popular. There have been two trilogies (三部曲) so far, with more planned.(以前也有过电影续集，但它们往往只是对第一部电影的拙劣模仿。《星球大战》电影都很受欢迎。到目前为止已经有两个三部曲，还有更多的计划。)”可知，本段讲述的是《星球大战》的续集都很受欢迎，目前为止已经有了两个三部曲，E选项“Star Wars was the first really successful movie trilogy in history.(《星球大战》是历史上第一部真正成功的电影三部曲。)”概括了本段的主题，其中的movie trilogy为解题的关键信息，与空后的内容吻合。故选E项。

【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：每年12月，参加大西洋帆船赛的桨手们都会从加那利群岛出发，横渡大西洋，行程约3000英里。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作定语修饰名词rowers，结合句意可知，take part in与所修饰词之间为主动关系，所以此处使用现在分词形式。故填taking。
【37题详解】
考查代词。句意：还有其他人，比如Harrison，则是自己划船。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定短语by oneself意为“独自”，句子主语others为第三人称复数，所以此处应使用反身代词themselves。故填themselves。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：Harrison女士有一部卫星电话，可以让她每天与家人和朋友通话。分析句子结构可知，此处为关系词引导的定语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以此处应使用关系代词，先行词a satellite phone指的是物，所以使用which或者that。故填which/that。
【39题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：但在她的扬声器掉进水里之后，事情变得有点困难了，她再也听不到她的音乐了。分析句子结构可知，此处为形容词作表语，结合句意以及空前的a little可知，此处应使用形容词的比较级。故填harder。
【40题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：她的船两次在夜里被大浪掀翻。分析句子结构可知，此处为谓语动词，根据上文中的谓语动词was以及下文中的谓语动词hurt以及ran可知，此处应使用一般过去时，turn over与句子主语her boat之间为被动关系，且句子主语为第三人称单数。故填was turned。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：还有一次，她差点撞上一艘船。分析句子结构可知，此处为副词作状语修饰动词ran，near的副词为nearly意为“几乎”符合句意。故填nearly。
【42题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意：当被问及她最期待什么时，她说：“食物。绝对的食物。”分析句子结构可知，此处为状语从句的省略结构，时间状语从句的主语与主句的主语一致，且谓语动词中含有be动词时，可以省略“主语和be动词”，此处的ask与she之间为被动关系，所以应使用过去分词形式。故填asked。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：她用汉堡包和薯条庆祝她到达终点。分析句子结构可知，此处为名词作宾语，arrive的名词为arrival意为“到达”符合句意，且为不可数名词。故填arrival。
【44题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：Harrison女士的努力使她成为有史以来划船横渡大西洋或任何海洋的最年轻的女性。分析句子结构可知，此处为谓语动词，根据句意可知，此处描述的是过去的动作对现在造成的影响，所以此处应使用的是现在完成时，make与句子主语Ms. Harrison’s rowing effort之间为主动关系，且句子主语为第三人称单数。故填has made。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意：Harrison女士的努力使她成为有史以来划船横渡大西洋或任何海洋的最年轻的女性。分析句子结构可知，此处为并列连词连接两个并列短语，结合句意可知，the Atlantic与any ocean之间为选择关系，所以此处应使用并列连词or意为“或”符合句意。故填or。

Standing outside the cave entrance, Grandfather admired the green-carpeted hills, but Lin hated the cave. He had come here today only because of Grandfather.
Grandfather preferred to use guano, the waste matter of bats, to fertilize (施肥) his crops. But he was too weak to do the whole job. He could gather the guano and bring it out of the cave in the basket, but he needed Lin to carry it home in the wooden cart.
Grandfather took a shovel (铲子) and flashlight from the cart. “Change your mind and come inside with me ” he asked Lin. “It won’t happen again, Lin,” Grandfather promised. “Last time it was my mistake. We shouldn’t have waited until nearly dusk (黄昏) to go inside. I know that the bats fly out of the cave at dusk.” That was exactly what had happened on the Terrible Day of the Bats. As Lin had stood at the cave entrance, a crowd of black bats had erupted from it. Lin had been terrified.
“Bats hurt no one,” Grandfather had said. “Besides, you scared them as much as they did you.”
But nothing could make Lin forget the horror he had felt in that black cloud of bats. “I can’t go in there,” he told Grandfather now.
“OK,” Grandfather said. As he started into the cave, he called over his shoulder, “I’ll be out in no time.” Lin parked the cart and glanced at the shovel and flashlight inside it. His shovel and flashlight. He had used them before. Now they only reminded him of his fear.
Lin turned his back on the cart and walked down to the river. Grandfather would call when he was finished. Until then, Lin would put as much distance as possible between himself and the cave.
Lin watched two little birds splashing about at the edge of the river. He enjoyed the peaceful view over the vast river surface. Then Lin realized that Grandfather’s “no time” had turned into a long time.
Lin hurried up the hill toward the cave. The cart was still there. Grandfather was still inside. Something had gone wrong.
注意：

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Lin looked around but found no one he could turn to for help. Panic set in as he realized that something terrible might have happened to Grandfather. He called out his name, but there was no response. Lin’s mind raced with fear and worry. He knew he had to go into the cave, but the thought of facing his fear was almost paralyzing. After taking a few deep breaths, he summoned all his courage and stepped towards the entrance.
In the dark cave, Lin gathered his courage and yelled again, “Grandfather!” This time, the response was louder. Lin followed the sound until he reached a narrow passage. His flashlight beam revealed that Grandfather was trapped between two large rocks. Lin’s heart sank as he realized the situation was more serious than he had thought. Grandfather’s leg was pinned, and he was in obvious pain. Lin knew that he had to act fast to free him. Finally, Lin heard the sound of approaching footsteps. The rescue team had arrived. They quickly assessed the situation and worked to free Grandfather.

A
If you’re traveling to South America in summer, you should have Patagonia (at the southern end of South America) high up on your list of things to do. With this list, I show you the best places to visit in Patagonia. The climate down there is pretty rough, especially in the very south—if you plan to do hiking or camping, the ideal moment for a trip is between the end of November and the beginning of March.
1. Bariloche, Argentina
The fact that Bariloche is well connected (airport, direct bus to and from Buenos Aires) makes it the perfect starting point of a round trip through Patagonia. But more than that: the combination of mountains, lakes and green forests results in its beautiful scenery.
2. Futaleufú, Chile
Further down south and a bit harder to access is the small Chilean village Futaleufú which is located at the border to Argentina. The reason which makes it worth it: the Futaleufú River is often referred to as one of the best white water spots for rafting in the world. The landscape along the river is unique and, due to its location, still pretty much untouched.
3. Puerto Rio Tranquilo, Chile
If you want to get there quickly, you should travel through Argentina and cross over to Chile Chico as this place is also very remote. The reason to do so: the marble caves in the General Carrera lake.
4. Torres del Paine, Chile
Personally the national park Torres del Paine is my top pick in Patagonia you should take some time and do a multi-day trek to experience as much of it as possible: glaciers, forests, impressive mountain ranges, lagoons and rivers.
1. What is the best time for hiking in Patagonia
A. October 1—November 1. B. December 25—February15.
C. March 5—April 1. D. November 5—June 7.
2. What makes Futaleufú worth visiting
A. Its unique location. B. Its easy accessibility.
C. Its untouched landscapes. D. Its rafting sports.
3. Which place attracts the author most in Patagonia
A. Bariloche. B. Futaleufú
C. Puerto Rio Tranquilo. D. Torres del Paine.
B
Naturalist Enzo Suma, who is now 40, lives in Puglia, a region in southern Italy whose long coastline faces the Adriatic Sea. Floating waste accumulates in this relatively enclosed part of the Mediterranean, unlike the open ocean, where the waste tends to be spread over a vast area. Feeling concerned about that, Suma makes it a habit to pick up the washed-up waste along the shore, especially after big winter storms.
One day, Suma was walking along the beach near his home when he discovered a bottle of Coke. Suma noticed on the bottle that the price, clearly printed on the bottom, was in lire, a currency (货币) that hadn’t been used in Italy since it was replaced by the euro in 2002. Could a plastic container have well survived in the Mediterranean, he wondered, for about two decades
That led him to founding the Archeoplastica museum. It has a collection of about 500 unique pieces recovered from Italian shores and the Coke bottle is the first one of them. All collection demonstrates the unsettling life force of plastic waste in the environment. “Seeing that a product people may have used 30, 40, or 50 years ago remains still unchanged, you’ll feel different. It’s a great shock,” Suma said to a reporter. So Suma often exhibits selected pieces from the Archeoplastica collection at local schools around his hometown of Ostuni.
“The playful side of the work allows you to arrive at the less beautiful side of things,” Suma acknowledged. “Plastic is a kind of useful substance. But it’s unthinkable that a water bottle, made from a material designed to last so long, can be used for just a few days—or even minutes—before becoming garbage. Clean the beaches. Clean the oceans. Recycle. But if we are still throwing out plastics, none of those are going to be long-term solutions.”
4. What’s Suma’s concern about his living place
A. Its long coastline is disappearing. B. Big storms frequently hit the area.
C. Floating waste spreads over a vast area. D. The waste pollution on shore is worsening.
5. What can be learned about the objects in the Archeoplastica museum
A. They have a history of more than half a century.
B. They were quite valuable before turning into waste.
C. They’re more like educational exhibits than garbage.
D. They have stronger life force than ordinary plastic products.
6. Which of the following can best describe Enzo Suma
A. Creative, devoted and socially responsible. B. Enthusiastic, ambitious and adventurous.
C. Generous, cautious and humorous. D. Curious, efficient and playful.
7. What does Suma intend to tell us by his words in the last paragraph
A. The birth of plastics has greatly served humans.
B. The key to tackling the plastic pollution is to stop littering.
C. The plastic problem can be solved by cleaning and recycling.
D. People should be more aware of the powerful functions of plastics.
C
Maybe you’ve wondered what you would hear if plants could speak. There is no need to wonder any longer. Ariel Novoplansky an ecologist in Israel, set up an experiment among pea plants to study how they communicate with each other.
In the experiments, Ariel put peas in rows of containers. The Center plant in the row was the target. The pea plants had been grown with two main roots. On one side, each pea plant had one root in its own pot and the other reaching into a neighbor’s pot. The central plant connected to its closest neighbor, which connected to another neighbor, and so on down the line. On the other side, all the plants kept their roots in their own pots, unconnected to their neighbors.
With everything ready, the ecologist created a dryness for the central target plant, which had quickly closed up its leaf pores (气孔) to save water. Amazingly, six connected plants on one side gradually closed up their leaf pores, even though only one of them had experienced real dryness. On the other side, with unconnected roots pea chain, all their pores stayed open. This means the warning signal didn’t travel from the stressed plants leaves through the air, but only from its roots through the soil.
It’s possible that plants are just eavesdropping (偷听) even if the damaged plant didn’t mean to send signals to them. Maybe the damaged plant leaks certain chemicals and nearby roots could sense those signals. But the plants with connected roots that weren’t dried out passed on the drought signals to their neighbors too, which means simple eavesdropping probably isn’t the answer. They seem to be having a real conversation, picking up information on one side and sharing it with a neighbor on the other.
The benefit to a plant that receives this information is pretty clear. Your neighbor may actually be you. The plants may not be speaking with any volume, but don’t let that fool you. They around us are saying plenty.
8. Which aspect of the experiment is mainly talked about in paragraph 2
A. Its finding B. Its design. C. Its purpose. D. Its application.
9. How do plants communicate in the experiment
A. By connecting the roots. B. By opening their leaf pores.
C. By leaking certain chemicals. D. By spreading a special smell.
10. Which word best describes plant’s communication
A. Complex. B. Cooperative. C. Efficient. D. Mysterious.
11. What’s the benefit to sending a signal to plant’s neighbors
A. Helping their neighbors grow. B. Developing their roots system.
C. Improving their living condition. D. Protecting the plants and themselves.
D
If you’ve ever started a sentence with, “If I were you...” or found yourself scratching your head at a colleague’s headache over a decision when the answer is clear, there’s a scientific reason behind it. Our own decision-making abilities can become declined over the course of the day causing indecision or poor choices, but choosing on behalf of someone else is an enjoyable task that doesn’t suffer the same trouble.
The problem is “decision fatigue”, a psychological phenomenon that greatly damages the quality of your choices after a long day of decision making says Evan Polman, a leading psychologist.
Physicians who have been on the job for several hours, for example, are more likely to prescribe antibiotics (抗生素) to patients when it’s unwise to do so. “Presumably it’s because it’s simple and easy to write a prescription and consider a patient case closed rather than investigate further,” Polman says.
But decision fatigue goes away when you are making the decision for someone else. When people imagine themselves as advisers and imagine their own choices as belonging to someone else, they feel less tired and rely less on decision shortcuts to make those choices. “By taking upon the role of adviser rather than decision maker, one does not suffer the consequences of decision fatigue,” he says. “It’s as if there’s something fun and liberating about making someone else’s choice.”
Getting input from others not only offers a fresh perspective and thought process; it often also includes riskier choices. While this sounds undesirable, it can be quite good, says Polman. “When people experience decision fatigue — when they are tired of making choices — they have a tendency to choose to go with the status quo,” he says. “But it can be problematic, since a change in the course of action can sometimes be important and lead to a positive outcome.”
12. What does the author say about people making decisions
A. They become less efficient in making decisions as the day progresses.
B. They show considerable variations in their decision-making competence.
C. They are more cautious in making decisions for others than for themselves.
D. They are more likely to make decisions in the way advantageous to themselves.
13. Why does the author mention “physicians” in paragraph 3
A. To explain a principle. B. To indicate a fact.
C. To clarify a concept. D. To illustrate a prediction.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The shortcuts to decision-making.
B. The consequences of decision fatigue.
C. The process of being a decision maker.
D. The psychology of making decisions for others.
15. What does the underlined phrase “the status quo” in paragraph 5 refer to
A. The decision fatigue. B. The existing situation.
C. The different choice. D. The positive outcome.

How Star Wars Changed Movie-making Forever
“May the force be with you!” If you are a Star Wars fan, then you have probably heard this phrase many times. ____16____ So many characters, devices, and phrases from the movie have become well-known. But you might be surprised to find out how much this movie has changed how movies are made.
“A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...” is how Star Wars begins. Its plot was not ground-breaking. ____17____ The story was typical science fiction with lots of drama, traditional characters and good battling evil, in space and in hand-to-hand fight.

Using the money Star Wars had made for them, movie-theater owners built more theaters, leading to the multiplexes (多影厅影院) that are common today.
Theaters needed more movies to show on all the additional movie screens and in all the new multiplexes. So new movie companies sprang up, including small ones creating experimental movies. They tried out new techniques. Some of the methods became popular and others failed. ____19____
____20____ There had been movie continuations previously, but they were often just poor imitations of the first movie. The Star Wars movies were all popular. There have been two trilogies (三部曲) so far, with more planned.
A. In fact, it was quite old-fashioned.
B. Moviegoers had never seen anything like these.
C. Thus, audience began to enjoy science fiction movies there.
D. But, thanks to Star Wars, people got to see new types of movies.
E. Star Wars was the first really successful movie trilogy in history.
F. If you are not a fan, you’re still probably familiar with these words.
G. If you are a movie maker, you may be inspired by this classic film.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Standing outside the cave entrance, Grandfather admired the green-carpeted hills, but Lin hated the cave. He had come here today only because of Grandfather.
Grandfather preferred to use guano, the waste matter of bats, to fertilize (施肥) his crops. But he was too weak to do the whole job. He could gather the guano and bring it out of the cave in the basket, but he needed Lin to carry it home in the wooden cart.
Grandfather took a shovel (铲子) and flashlight from the cart. “Change your mind and come inside with me ” he asked Lin. “It won’t happen again, Lin,” Grandfather promised. “Last time it was my mistake. We shouldn’t have waited until nearly dusk (黄昏) to go inside. I know that the bats fly out of the cave at dusk.” That was exactly what had happened on the Terrible Day of the Bats. As Lin had stood at the cave entrance, a crowd of black bats had erupted from it. Lin had been terrified.
“Bats hurt no one,” Grandfather had said. “Besides, you scared them as much as they did you.”
But nothing could make Lin forget the horror he had felt in that black cloud of bats. “I can’t go in there,” he told Grandfather now.
“OK,” Grandfather said. As he started into the cave, he called over his shoulder, “I’ll be out in no time.” Lin parked the cart and glanced at the shovel and flashlight inside it. His shovel and flashlight. He had used them before. Now they only reminded him of his fear.
Lin turned his back on the cart and walked down to the river. Grandfather would call when he was finished. Until then, Lin would put as much distance as possible between himself and the cave.
Lin watched two little birds splashing about at the edge of the river. He enjoyed the peaceful view over the vast river surface. Then Lin realized that Grandfather’s “no time” had turned into a long time.
Lin hurried up the hill toward the cave. The cart was still there. Grandfather was still inside. Something had gone wrong.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Lin looked around but found no one he could turn to for help.

In the dark cave, Lin gathered his courage and yelled again, “Grandfather!”
