A.somefriendshadlosttheirlivesB.herneighborhoodwasdestroyedC.herschoolhadmovedtoBrooklynD.theelderlywerefreefromsuffering答案B解析細節理解題。根據第三段第一句可知,Natalie第二天回到家時,發現她們的居住區已變成一片廢墟。22.AccordingtoParagraph4,whoinspiredNataliemost?A.ThepeoplehelpingRockawayrebuild.B.Thepeopletrappedinhighrisebuildings.C.Thevolunteersdonatingmoneytosurvivors.D.Localteenagersbringingclothingtoelderlypeople.答案A解析細節理解題。根據第四段第一句中的“...themenandwomenhelpingRockawayrecoverinspiredNatalie.”可知,幫助洛克威重建的人們使Natalie最受鼓舞。23.HowdidNataliehelpthesurvivors?A.Shegavehertoystootherkids.B.Shetookcareofyoungerchildren.C.ShecalledontheWhiteHousetohelp.D.Shebuiltaninformationsharingplatform.答案D解析細節理解題。根據第七段第一句可知,她建立了一個網站,將需要幫助的幸存者和想要幫助災民的捐贈者進行匹配。故選D項(她建立了一個信息共享平臺)。BInKansasCity,Missouri,aputerhelpsfirefighters.Theputer,whichworksveryfast,hasinformationaboutallthe350,000streetaddressesinthecity.Withintwoorthreesecondsafteracallisreceived,theputerprovidesnecessaryinformationforthefirefighters.TheinformationisthensenttothembyradiofromtheputercentreintheCityHall.Theexactplaceoftheburningbuildinganditssize,typeandanyotherdetailsarecleartothem.TheKansasCityputersystemalsohasamedicalrecordofeachofthecity’s900firefighters.Thiskindofinformationisespeciallyusefulwhenafirefighterisinjured.Withtheinformation,doctorsathospitalcantreattheinjuredfirefightersmorequicklyandeasily.Thefirefightersthemselvesgreatlyappreciatetheputer’shelp.Theyknowaboutpossibledangeraheadofthemandcanprepareforit.Manytimestheputerinformationhelpstosavelivesandproperty(財產).Sometimesthelivesarethoseoffirefightersthemselves.MikeHoran,afirefightercaptain,says,“IfeelasiftheputerisreadytohelpmeifIgethurt.”24.Whichofthefollowingisthebesttitleofthetext?A.LargeputersinKansas,MissouriB.TheputerHelpsFirefightersC.ImportantInformationforFirefightersD.TheSpeedoftheputer答案B解析主旨大意題。由文章第一句“InKansasCity,Missouri,aputerhelpsfirefighters.”可知,這篇文章主要是講電腦幫助消防員的事情,故B項正確。25.WhatisthebestwayifyouwanttoknowtheinformationaboutthestreetaddressesinKansas?A.Toaskthefirefighter.B.Toaskthepoliceman.C.Tousetheputer.D.Tousethemap.答案C解析細節理解題。由文章第二句“Theputer,whichworksveryfast,hasinformationaboutallthe350,000streetaddressesinthecity.”可知,電腦工作迅速,且掌握了堪薩斯州35萬條街道的信息。所以,如果你想要了解這些街道的信息,最好的方式便是通過電腦了解。故C項正確。26.Thefirefighterscangetinformationaboutaburningplacewhichissentby.

A.radioBputerC.theCityHall D.thecentreofthecity答案A解析細節理解題。由文章第一段倒數第二句“TheinformationisthensenttothembyradiofromtheputercentreintheCityHall.”可知,電腦通過收音機將街道的信息發送給消防員,故A項正確。27.Whycandoctorstreattheinjuredfirefightersquicklyandeasily?A.Thehospitalhasaverygoodputer.B.Thefirefighterscanknowaboutpossibledangerearly.C.Theputercanprepareeverythingforthem.D.Medicalrecordsintheputerhelpthemalot.答案D解析細節理解題。由文章第二段可知,醫生能夠快速和容易地治療受傷的消防員,是由于電腦里有這些消防員的病例。故D項正確。CAnewstudysuggeststhatdarkmarkingsontheplanetMarsrepresentsand—notwater.Theresearchin2015suggestedthatlinesonsomeMartianhillswereevidenceofwater.YetAmericanscientistsnowsaytheselinesappearmorelikedry,flowsofsand.Ifwaterispresent,itislikelytobeasmallamount.Waterinliquidformwouldbenecessaryformicrobial(微生物的)life.NASA,theAmericanspaceagency,saidmoreresearchisneeded.MichaelMeyeristheleadscientistforNASA’sMarsexplorationprogramme.Henotedthatthelateststudydoesnotrejectthepresenceofwater.Butheadmitted,“Itjustmaynotbeasexcitingastheideaofriversgoingdownthesidesofcliffs(懸崖).”ThenewfindingsefromateamledbyColinDundasoftheUnitedStatesGeologicalSurvey.Histeammeasured151oftheselinesin10areas.Mostofthelinesendwithslopesbetween28degreesand35degrees.Thesemeasurementsaresimilartoactivesanddunes(沙丘)onbothMarsandEarth.Asmallcoveringofdustthatmovesandsometimesbeeslightermighthelpexplainthemarkings.TheyusuallyappearintheMartiansummertime,andthendisappearuntilthenextyear.Iftheselinesaredry,thissuggeststhatrecentMarshasnothadlargevolumesofliquidwater.Dundasandhisresearchteamsaythatmanyquestionsremain.“IstillthinkthatMarshasagreatpotentialforhavinghadlifeearlyoninitshistory,”Meyersaid.“Aslongasthat’strue,wealsohaveareasonablepossibilityoflifestillbeingonMars.Itjusthappenstobecrypticorwellhidden.”NASAcurrentlyhasnoroboticvehicle—eitheronMarsorindevelopment—withtheabilitytoclimbsteepslopes.ThelackofsuchequipmenthasengineersingupwithideaslikeMartianhelicoptersorplaneswithoutpilots.28.WhatdoAmericanscientistsfindonMarsnowaccordingtotheirstudy?A.Alotoflittlelife.

D.Darkmarkingsaresand.答案D解析細節理解題。根據第一段第一句“AnewstudysuggeststhatdarkmarkingsontheplanetMarsrepresentsand—notwater.”可知,科學家發現火星上的黑色標記是沙子不是水。故選D項。29.Whendothemarkingseout?A.InMartianspring. B.InMartiansummer.C.InMartianautumn. D.InMartianwinter.答案B解析細節理解題。根據第三段倒數第三句“TheyusuallyappearintheMartiansummertime,andthendisappearuntilthenextyear.”可知,這樣的標記會出現在火星的夏季。故選B項。30.What’sMeyer’sopinionabouthavinglifeonMars?A.Doubtful. B.Trustful.C.Indifferent. D.Objective.答案B解析推理判斷題。根據第四段內容可推知,Meyer還是相信火星上有生命。故選B項。31.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“cryptic”inParagraph4mean?A.Undiscovered. B.Strange.C.Magical. D.Icy.答案A解析詞義猜測題。根據句中的orwellhidden可知,cryptic的意思是“隱藏的;沒被發現的”。故選A項。DLargecloudsofdustblowingofftheSaharadesertcaneasilybeseenfromspace.JosephProsperoiswiththeUniversityofMiamiintheUnitedStates.HehasstudiedAfricandustformanyyears.“AtmosphericdustAfricandustisoneofthemostprominent(顯著的)atmosphericfeatures,secondonlytoclouds,”hesaid.Inthe1970s,JosephProsperofoundthatalargeamountofdustcanblowallthewayacrosstheAtlanticOcean.“Itisobviousthatthereisalotofdust.WhenitrainsinBarbadosorevenhereinMiamiduringthesummermonths,youactuallygetalayerofmudinthebottomofabucket(桶).”Africanduststormscanharmairqualityacrosstheocean.Butnewresearchshowsthatthestormsalsocandosomegood.ScientistsobservedSaharandustbysatelliteasitblewacrosstheAtlantic.HongbinYuisanatmosphericscientistattheUniversityofMaryland.Hefoundthatanaverageof28millionmetrictonsofdustfallinSouthAmerica’sAmazonRiverbasineachyear.“Yes,itissurprisingbecauseofthehugeamountofdustandphosphorus(磷).”Phosphorusisafertilizerthatplantsneedtogrow.HongbinYufoundthattheAmazonreceivesabout22thousandmetrictonsofSaharandusteachyear.Hesaysthedustisanimportantprovideroffertilizer.“Thesoilhaslimitedphosphorusanditalsocanbewashedoutbyrainandflooding.”Infact,thephosphorusfallingfromtheskyisaboutthesameastheamountthatriverscarryawayeachyear.Thethickrainforestandthedesertdustarejoinedtogetherononesmallplanet.

32.AccordingtoJosephProspero,atmosphericdust.

A.issimilartocloudsB.canbeeasilynoticedC.iscarriedbyrainwaterD.isactuallycalledAfricandust答案B解析推理判斷題。由第二段可知,大氣塵埃是僅次于云的第二大顯著的大氣特征。由第三段可知,大量非洲塵埃甚至能被吹過大西洋,下雨的時候在桶底發現的那層泥就是塵埃。由此可知,大氣塵埃是很容易被觀察到的。33.WhatcanwelearnaboutSaharandust?A.ItpollutestheairintheAmazonbadly.B.ItcontainsmorephosphorusthantheAmazonsoil.C.Theamountofphosphorusinitisn’tenoughfortheAmazon.D.About28millionmetrictonsofitfallintheAmazoneachyear.答案C解析推理判斷題。由倒數第二段可知,每年有兩千八百萬噸的塵埃落入亞馬孫河,其中的兩萬兩千噸是來自撒哈拉的塵埃。由最后一段可知,掉落的塵埃中的磷的量正好彌補了河流帶走的磷的量。由此可知,撒哈拉塵埃中的磷只占亞馬孫需求量中的一小部分。34.Withtheunderlinedsentence,theauthortendstoindicatethat.

A.itisawonderthatnaturecreatesB.theplanetweliveonistoosmallC.desertandrainforestmatterthesameD.desertdustdoesmoregoodthanharm答案A解析句意理解題。亞馬孫河每年帶走大量的泥沙以及包括磷在內的物質,而同時從撒哈拉飄來的塵埃恰好給予了植物生長需要的磷等元素,所以作者說這句話旨在贊嘆大自然創造的奇跡。35.ThetextmainlywantstotellreadersthatSaharandust.

A.isathreattoourplanetB.feedsAmazonrainforestC.harmsthebalanceofnatureD.putstheAmazoninbigdanger答案B解析主旨大意題。文章第四段說塵埃會污染空氣,接下來話鋒一轉,說明新的研究證明塵埃也是有益的——撒哈拉塵埃給亞馬孫雨林帶來了植物生長所需要的大量的磷。第二節(共5小題;每小題2分,滿分10分)根據短文內容,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。“Thecalmbeforethestorm”isaveryfamiliarexpression.Itisusuallyusedtodescribeapeacefulperiodjustbeforeaverystressfulsituationoratenseargument.36Theynotedthatbeforecertainstormstheseaswouldseemtobeecalmandthewindswoulddrop.

41.A.brains B.sensesC.minds D.sights答案C解析由前一句“Oneofthemostremarkablethingsaboutthehumanmindisourabilitytoimaginethefuture.”可知,人類思維最顯著的特點之一就是有想象未來的能力。據此可知,空處指“思維”,故C項正確。42.A.visiting B.seekingC.reaching D.discovering答案A解析由該句中的anewplaceorcountry可以判斷,當我們期望去參觀某個新地方或新國家時,我們總是想象那里會是什么樣子。visit“參觀,訪問”。43.A.imagine B.knowC.feel D.guess答案A解析這里指想象那里會是什么樣子。imagine“想象,設想”。44.A.custom B.habitC.style D.way答案D解析由該段最后一句中的theway,并結合該句“Wepredictthe44peoplewilleat,dressandact.”可知,我們總會預測(這個地方的)人們的飲食、衣著和行為方式。way“方式”,符合語境。custom“風俗”;habit“習慣”;style“風格”。

45.A.quickly B.simplyC.correctly D.neatly答案C解析由空處后的句子“Thingsareoftenverydifferentfromthewaywe46themtobe.”可知,事物總是不同于我們預料的那樣;據此可以判斷,我們不是總能正確地預測事物。correctly“正確地,恰當地”。

46.A.required B.wishedC.left D.expected答案D解析require“需要,要求”;wish“希望”;leave“離開”;expect“預料,預期”。這里指不是總能正確地預測事物,因此D項正確。47.A.funny B.dullC.famous D.silly答案C解析由該句中的“dreamsinhistoryisthedreamoftheGermanscientist,Kekule”及下文可知,該處陳述的是歷史上著名的夢之一,那就是德國科學家Kekule的夢。famous“著名的”,符合語境。funny“有趣的”;dull“無趣的”;silly“愚蠢的”。48.A.managing B.tryingC.thinking D.hoping答案B解析由該句中的“Kekule,whohadbeen48toworkoutaverydifficultprobleminphysics”及下文可知,Kekule一直在努力解一道物理難題;trytodosth.“努力做某事”,符合語境。managetodosth.“設法做成某事”,強調結果。

49.A.studied B.learnedC.discussed D.searched答案A解析由該句中的“Hehad49andanalyzedtheproblemfromeveryanglefordays”可知,他從多個角度研究(studied)和分析了這個難題。

50.A.used B.oughtC.seemed D.had答案C解析由該句中的“butthere50tobenowayof51outtheanswer”可知,似乎沒有辦法弄清答案。seem“似乎,好像”符合語境。

51.A.bringing B.findingC.turning D.letting答案B解析這里指弄清楚答案,findout“弄清,査明”,故選B項。bringout“使表現出”;turnout“結果是,證明是”;letout“突然,發出”。52.A.gave B.satC.woke D.got答案C解析由前一句“Thenonenighthewenttobedanddreamed.”可知,空處表示他醒來時意識到自己知道了答案。wakeup為固定短語,“醒來”,故C項正確。53.A.dream B.lessonC.research D.exercise答案A解析由上文中的“hewenttobedanddreamed.Whenhe52up,herealizedthatheknewtheanswer”可知,他在夢(dream)中解決了這個難題。

54.A.softly B.loudlyC.slowly D.firmly答案A解析由語境并結合常識可知,此處是將Kekule進行催眠,故催眠師應是柔和地(softly)說著話。55.A.everything B.somethingC.nothing D.anything答案C解析由空前一句“Iwantyoutoconcentrateonmyvoice”及下文中的“Youknownothingbutmyvoice”可知,空處應指什么都不要想。C項符合語境。56.A.eyes B.feetC.head D.body答案A解析由常識可知,被催眠師催眠時,眼睛會變得沉重。故A項正確。57.A.believe B.repeatC.take D.understand答案D解析由該句中的“Youwillhearmyvoiceand57mywords”可知,此處指聽到聲音并理解聽到的話。understand“理解,明白”,符合語境。

58.A.really B.extremelyC.actually D.almost答案D解析由空處前一句可知,此處指“你”幾乎要睡著了。really“真正地;確實”;extremely“極其;非常”;actually“實際上”;almost“幾乎”,因此選D項。59.A.accept B.rememberC.hear D.receive答案B解析由下文中的“Youwillforgeteverything”可知,空處指“你”將什么都不記得。B項符合語境。60.A.count B.sayC.add D.speak答案A解析由文中的“NowIamgoingto60slowlyfromonetofive.One,two,three,four,five”可知,此處表示數數;A項“(按順序)計數;數數”,符合語境。
