However, many places are complete unimaginable Some places attract people more than others. The incapability to understand the real story behind some of these phenomena draws many people. They are just so mysterious that there is no explaining it. 1.Blood Falls, Antarctica How is it that the coldest and driest place on the planet has a blood-red waterfall pouring down slowly into the McMurdo Dry Valleys, some of the most extreme desert lands on Earth? What causes the mysterious flow was only recently “discovered” in a study. Scientists believed for many years red algae(红藻)gave the unusual color. But now research has shown that iron oxide(氧化物)is responsible for the hue. The waterfall even contains strange bacterial lifeforms. 2.Magnetic Hill, Moncton, New Brunswick Be very careful if you choose to drive to the bottom of this hill. Stories about what happens there have been around since early 1900s. As impossible as it sounds, your car will start to “roll” uphill. “And it doesn't just work on cars—vans, trucks and even tour buses roll upward in total defiance(蔑视)of natural law,” according to Tourism New Brunswick. 3.Racetrack Playa, Death Valley, California Located in a remote valley between the Cottonwood and Last Chance Ranges, Racetrack Playa is a place of really beauty and mystery. The Racetrack is a dry lakebed, best known for its strange moving rocks. It looks like they “sailed” through the valley. Although no one has actually seen the rocks move, the long moving tracks left behind in the mud surface of the Playa prove their activity. The most logical explanation so far is that ice forms covering the stones, causing them to move. 1.What's the meaning of the underlined word “hue” in the second paragraph? A.Duty. B.Color. C.Thing. D.People. 2.What will happen if you drive your car at the bottom of Magnetic Hill, Moncton, New Brunswick? A.The car will run in unusual way. B.The car will run down the hill. C.The car will run backward. D.The car won't work at all. 3.What's the distinctive characteristic of Racetrack Playa, Death Valley, California? A.The rocks in its valley can turn red. B.The rocks in its valley can roll uphill. C.The rocks in its valley can change their places. D.The rocks in its valley can sing beautiful songs. 【答案】 1.B 2.A 3.C 【解析】本文主要介绍三个与众不同的地方。它们各具特色,值得参观。 1.B 词义猜测题。根据第二段的倒数第三、第四句话“Scientists believed for many years red algae(红藻)gave the unusual color. But now research has shown that iron oxide(氧化物)is responsible for the hue.”许多年来科学家认为是红色的藻类导致了那种不同寻常的颜色。但是,现在研究表明氧化铁是造成这种颜色的原因。由此可以推出hue的意思应该与color相同。故选B项。 考点:考查应用文阅读 【题型】阅读理解 【难度】一般 9.阅读理解 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项 (A 、B 、C 和 D )中,选出最佳选项。 DESIGN―A―LOGO CONTEST We need a logo—a graphic (绘画的) image—that will be the perfect symbol of our great new Wellsville Skate Park.

Hackers need only ordinary tools to access mobile phones linked to the network and the information the devices store. DON’T OVERSHARE ONLINE Internet users can let their guard down when chatting with strangers on social media, letting slip their names, family details, workplace addresses and job titles to their new “friends”. Some parents even share photos of their children online, forgetting to hide details that can disclose their names, schools or where they live. AVOID ONLINE SURVEYS Some questionnaires try to attract people with small rewards or a chance to take part in a “lucky draw”. But to qualify, people must fill in their names, phone numbers and home addresses. Check the website where the survey is being hosted and consider whether it’s reliable. KEEP ONLINE RESUMES BRIEF Internet users often do not hesitate to provide detailed personal information in their online resumes, thinking it can only help probable employers to contact them. Some job site operators even require applicants to list their family members’ information. China’s Ministry of Public Security says people should give only the information necessary. TRACK COPIES OF YOUR ID CARD Banks, telecommunications operators and other service providers often require photocopies of your identity cards to open accounts or perform other business. Dishonest employees might then try to sell them to scammers (骗子). 1.People are willing to provide detailed personal information in their resumes because ________. A. the Ministry asks them to B. they don’t care about personal information C. they want to get the job easily D. they wish employers to inform them easily 2.What does the passage mainly talk about?

To warn people of the risks of exposing personal information. 【答案】 1.D 2.B 3.C 4.D 2.B 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文告诉我们几条使用网络时的注意事项,这些也是网络罪犯获得我们信息的方法。故选B。 3.C 推理判断题。根据第一部分的信息Hackers need only ordinary tools to access mobile phones linked to the network and the information the devices store.可知,黑客们很容易就可以通过公用免费WiFi获得你的信息。故选C。 4.D 推理判断题。从文章内容可看出,文章告诉我们不要使用免费公用WiFi、不要在网络上过度分享、避免在线调查、保持在线简历简洁等等,因为这些都会给坏人可乘之机,警示读者暴露个人信息的危害,故选D。 考点:考查应用文阅读 【题型】阅读理解 【难度】一般 11.阅读理解 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项 (A 、B 、C 和 D )中,选出最佳选项。 DOGS DRIVE CAR Auckland, New Zealand After two months of learning, Monty, and Porter were able to drive an automobile around a racetrack. “We wanted to prove how smart rescue dogs are,” animal behaviorist Mark Vette says. Vette first used voice commands and treats to teach the dogs how to turn a steering wheel and how to change gear (换挡). The dogs’ ride only accelerated up to 7.5 miles an hour, and trainers could stop the auto using a remote control. GOLDEN ZEBRA Kailua-Kona, Hawaii Zoe the zebra’s markings are special. The animal has white and golden stripes. Zoe’s appearance resulted from a rare condition called amelanosis (黑素缺失症). Her body doesn’t make enough melanin, the substance in an animal’s skin and hair cells that produces color. “Only 25 other golden zebras are known to exist in the world,” says Ann Goody, who runs the wildlife refuge where Zoe lives. In the wild, life may be difficult for animals with amelanosis because predators (捕猎者) can easily spot them. But Zoe is protected at her refuge. COCKATOO MAKES TOOLS Vienna, Austria When Figaro the cockatoo spots food lying just out of reach from his cage, he builds a tiny wooden tool to sweep the tasty prize in his way. The bird first revealed his talent when a stone he was playing with rolled out of his cage. The cockatoo couldn’t reach the stone. So he flew away and returned with a small branch, slipping it through the fence to slide the stone toward him. Wondering if he would do it again, scientists placed a nut exactly where the stone had been. This time, Figaro pulled out a small piece of wood in his cage and dragged the nut toward him. 1.If Zoe the zebra is set free in the wild, she will ________. A. meet no natural predators B. not get along with other zebras C. manage to make enough melanin D. be easily found for her appearance 2.What’s special about Figaro the cockatoo? A. He is particular about his food. B. He is extremely fond of stones. C. He is good at drawing support from outside forces. D. He can tell the difference between stones and nuts. 3.What is the text mainly about? A. Amazing animals. B. Ways to help animals. C. Animals’ unique talents. D. Tips on training animals. 【答案】 1.D 2.C 3.A 2.C 推理判断题。根据COCKATOO MAKES TOOLS中he builds a tiny wooden tool to sweep the tasty prize in his way.(他建了一个微小的木制工具来扫他在路上的美味奖品。)he flew away and returned with a small branch, slipping it through the fence to slide the stone toward him.(他飞走了,带着一个小树枝回来,把树枝穿过篱笆,让石头向它滑动。)This time, Figaro pulled out a small piece of wood in his cage and dragged the nut toward him.(这次,Figaro拉出他笼子里的一块木头,把坚果拖向它。从这里可以看出:他擅长于外部力量的支持。),故选C。 3.A 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了会开车的狗狗、与众不同的金斑马和会使用工具的凤头鹦鹉三种不可思议的动物。故选A。 考点:考查应用文阅读 【题型】阅读理解 【难度】一般 12.阅读理解 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项 (A 、B 、C 和 D )中,选出最佳选项。 Located in the inner London Borough of Southwark, this hugely improved non-selective Secondary Academy School is looking to recruit (招募) and appoint a talented Science Teacher in April 2016 or sooner.
