Luckily it was possible for us to realize our dream because all of us were free on the weekend.‎ We planned to drive into Cambridge and caught the 7: 34 train to Liverpool Street Station.Then my wife and I would separate from Joan, my wife’s sister, to do different things and finally meet again for lunch. And after lunch, we would go to the concert.‎ But we were late because of a thick London fog. The train had to move along so slowly that it ‎ was not until 10:30 that it got there. In spite of our late arrival Joan decided that she would go to see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London while we went shopping. It was only after her sister had disappeared into the fog that my wife realized that we hadn’t decided where we should meet for lunch. Since I had our three tickets for the concert in my pocket, this was indeed a problem. We didn’t have any mobile phones at that time. There seemed to be nothing we could do except taking a taxi to the Tower of London, and try to find her there. Needless to say, we didn’t find her.‎ It was now one o’clock, and the concert began at 2: 30. “Perhaps she will think of waiting outside the concert hall,” said my wife hopefully. By this time the fog was so thick that road traffic had to stop, and the only way to get there was by subway. Hand in hand we felt our way along the road to where we thought the nearest station should be. An hour later we were still trying to find it.Just when I was about to become angry, we met a blind man tapping his way confidently through the fog. With his help we found the subway station which was just fifty meters down the road.‎ By now it was far too late to get to the concert hall before the performance began at 2: 30, so we decided to return to Cambridge. It took seven hours instead of the usual two to make that journey. Nor were we able to get any food and drink on the train. We were tired and hungry.‎ We finally reached home at ten. Opening the door we were amazed to find Joan at home; she had seen the Crown Jewels, had managed to get another ticket for concert, and had had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant. Of course, she managed to get home, too. Oh my god!‎ ‎31. What did the writer plan to do after lunch that day?‎ A. Go to the concert. B. Return to Cambridge.‎ C. Go shopping. D.

A blind man.‎ C. His wife. D. Joan.‎ ‎【答案】31. A 32. D 33. B ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲了作者和家人到伦敦旅行,到了利物浦之后,作者带着妻子和妻子的妹妹琼分开以后,因为伦敦的大雾,开始了一段“囧途”!‎ ‎【31题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段的And after lunch, we would go to the concert.(午饭后,我们会去听音乐会)可知,那天午饭后作者打算去听音乐会。故选A。‎ ‎【32题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段的Then my wife and I would separate from Joan, my wife’s sister, to do different things and finally meet again for lunch.(然后我和妻子会和我妻子的妹妹琼分开,做不同的事情,最后再见面吃午饭)可知,作者和他的妻子和琼(妻子的妹妹)分开,因为他们计划在午饭前做不同的事情。故选D。‎ ‎【33题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第四段的Just when I was about to become angry, we met a blind man tapping his way confidently through the fog. With his help we found the subway station which was just fifty meters down the road.(就在我要生气的时候,我们遇到了一个盲人,他自信地在雾中走着。在他的帮助下,我们找到了离这条路只有‎50米的地铁站)可知,一个盲人帮助作者找到了地铁站。故选B。‎ ‎【点睛】题干定位法:即我们可以通过题干中的关键词(主要是名词或是名词短语)到文章中利用平行原则找到与题干对应的句子,找到的句子或该句的下一句即是答案。‎ 如第1小题,我们根据题干中的关键词after lunch和that day,再结合平行原则,可以定位在文章的第二段的And after lunch, we would go to the concert.,即是答案所在。‎ B High-Wire Act Mickey Wilson had been on the mountain only a few seconds when he heard the scream. Wilson, 28 years old, had just gotten off the cable car (索道缆车) at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area in Keystone, Colorado, along with his friends Billy Simmons and Hans Mueller. Their friend Richard had been on the cable car ahead of them, but when the men reached the top of the lift, he had disappeared. The men walked toward the source of the scream and found skiers stopped on the slope, pointing to the cable car. And then the friends screamed too.‎ ‎“Oh, Richard!” yelled Mueller.‎ When Richard had tried to jump off the cable car, his backpack had been caught in the chair, which then dragged him back down the hill. In the process, the backpack belt twisted around his neck, making him breathless. Now Richard’s body was swinging four feet above the snow. The cable car operator had quickly stopped it, and the friends kicked off their skis and ran toward the scene. They made a human pyramid to try to reach Richard, but the unconscious man was too far off the ground. With the clock ticking, Wilson ran to the ladder of a nearby lift tower. Scared skiers watched as he struggled the 25 feet. After he reached the top, Wilson’s first challenge was to climb onto the two-inch steel cable that held the chairs. He handled the balance and height bravely, but he knew he could not walk on the cable. Therefore, he calmed down and sat over it and then used his hands to pull himself to Richard quickly. Wilson’s greatest fear wasn’t that he’d fall, but that he wouldn’t reach Richard. “This was life or death,” he said.‎ When he reached Richard’s chair, Wilson swung a leg over the cable and attempted to drop down onto it. But as he did that, his jacket caught on the movable footrest, which was in the up position. The footrest began to slide down, with Wilson attached. But before that could happen, he managed to free himself and reached Richard.‎ Fortunately, the ski patrol (巡查) had gathered below and performed emergency treatment on Richard, who had been hanging for about five minutes, then skied him down to an ambulance.‎ That night, Richard called from the hospital to express his thanks to Wilson, his other friends and the workers at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area.‎ ‎34. What happened to Richard when he tried to jump off the cable car?‎ A. He was sick and became unconscious.‎ B. He left his skis which stopped the cable car.‎ C. He was too afraid to move forward in the cable car.‎ D. He was caught by the neck, hanging down the cable.‎ ‎35. How did Richard survive?‎ A. People worked together and saved him.‎ B. Wilson climbed on the cable and saved him.‎ C. The ski patrol got him down and treated him.‎ D. Skiers treated him and carried him to the hospital.‎ ‎36. The author wrote the fourth paragraph to show that _______.‎ A. the rescue process was dangerous B. something was wrong with the cable car C. Wilson could manage the process very well D. the operator of the cable car ignored his duty ‎37. The story at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area mainly tells us ______.‎ A. it is very dangerous to go skiing B. he that climbs high often falls heavily C. bravery and calm can help you make a difference D. a person with a great talent always has great will-power ‎【答案】34. D 35. A 36. A 37. C ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Mickey Wilson和他的两个朋友乘坐索道缆车上山的过程中,其中一个朋友出了事故。在那个万分紧急的时刻Mickey Wilson奋不顾身地去救人。‎ ‎【34题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第三自然段前两句话“When Richard had tried to jump off the cable car, his backpack had been …swinging four feet above the snow”可知,背包带缠住了Richard的脖子把他悬在半空,也让他呼吸困难。故选D项。‎ ‎【35题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段That night, Richard called from the hospital to express his thanks to Wilson, his other friends and the workers at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area.(那天晚上,Richard从医院打电话表达对Wilson,其他朋友和Arapahoe Basin Ski Area的工作人员感谢)可知,Wilson,other friends 和workers at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area都对他施以援手,是他们的共同努力救了他。故选A项。‎ ‎【36题详解】‎ 推理判断题。When he reached Richard’s chair, Wilson swung a leg over the cable and attempted to drop down onto it. But as he did that, his jacket caught on the movable footrest, which was in the up position. The footrest began to slide down, with Wilson attached. But before that could happen, he managed to free himself and reached Richard.‎ ‎(当威尔逊触到理查德的椅子时,他把一条腿甩过缆绳,试图跳到上面。但是当他那样做的时候,他的夹克被活动脚踏板给挂住了。脚踏板在上面,然后挂着威尔逊开始向下滑。但他及时让自己摆脱困境,够到了理查德)这段主要描述了Wilson救人的经过,且场面惊险,稍有不慎可能威尔逊自己也会受伤,所以这段描写主要突出救人的危险。故选A项。‎ ‎【37题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章大意可知,Wilson能在那个危急时刻去求Richard表现他的勇敢;在5分钟内能想到可行的方法,说明Richard处乱不惊,沉着冷静。综上所述,面临危险勇敢,冷静才能化险为夷。故选C项。‎ C You can’t walk into the office without Rihanna’s voice singing “work work work work work work” in your head. And that one line from Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance” still makes you want to scream. These are commonly known as earworm songs—those sticky tunes that continue to play in your head. A recent study finds that more than 90% of adults report hearing earworm songs on a weekly basis.‎ Fortunately, most people report earworm songs as pleasant. But others find them annoying or even maddening. “Some people are troubled by them to the point that it disturbs life,” says Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulis, a professor at the University of Arkansas who has studied earworm songs.‎ Margulis says earworm songs tend to have some predictable characteristics. For one thing, they tend to small parts of a song—not the whole track. And “the songs you’ve heard recently also have the most possibility to get stuck in your memory,” she says.‎ But sometimes something strange and unpredictable can also start a track paying in your head. “Once I was at the doctor’s office and saw a poster of a man who I thought looked like Gaston—a character from Beauty and the Beast,” Margulis recalls. A couple minutes passed, and she realized she couldn’t get “Be Our Guest”, the song in the movie, out of her head, even though she hadn’t thought of the tune in years. In that instance, she was able to identify her earworm’s trigger: the Gaston-looking man in the poster. “But the connections can be really unclear,” she says.‎ Margulis points out that, in all of human history, recorded music is a very new phenomenon. She says some have inferred that earworm songs are also new—the unintended consequence of being able to hear the same song played everywhere in the same way over and over again. So far, the convincing explanation for why human beings experience earworm songs remains a mystery. But there are some well-established ways to cast off the earworm songs.‎ ‎“Finding a mentally demanding task and putting your mind on it usually shifts attention away from internal music. People tend to get earworms when performing tasks that don’t require their full attention—stuff like doing the dishes,” Margulis says.‎ Chewing gum can also help. When a song is stuck in our heads, it’s almost like we’re singing along with it. If you make your mouth do something else—chewing gum, eating a meal or talking with a friend—that can kick out the earworm.‎ You could also face your enemy. By listening to the full track that includes the passage stuck in your head, you may find “closure” and relief.‎ ‎38. Which of the following is most likely to be an earworm song?‎ A. A song made up of simple words.‎ B. A song heard frequently these days.‎ C. A song sung by a most famous singer.‎ D. A song learned during one’s childhood.‎ ‎39. What does the underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 4 mean?‎ A. Type. B. Tune.‎ C. Cause. D. Characteristic.‎ ‎40. We can infer that earworm songs may ________.‎ A. result from modern technology B. be experienced over meals C. help regain lost memories D. hurt one’s hearing ‎41. What is mainly talked about in the last three paragraphs?‎ A. Why we hear earworm songs. B. Where to find earworm songs.‎ C. When we hear earworm songs. D. How to get over earworm songs.‎ ‎【答案】38. B 39. C 40. A 41. D ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了耳朵虫歌曲,即歌曲的某个片段不由自主地反复在脑子里出现且不受控制的现象。针对这种现象,作者提出了几条行之有效的方法。‎ ‎【38题详解】‎ 细节理解题。 根据第一段These are commonly known as earworm songs—those sticky tunes that continue to play in your head.‎ 可知耳朵虫歌曲指的是“一直黏在脑袋里的音乐”,即最近经常听到的歌曲,故选B。‎ ‎【39题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。 In that instance, she was able to identify her earworm’s trigger: the Gaston-looking man in the poster.句子后半句the Gaston-looking man in the poster解释了为什么“Be Our Guest” 这首歌一直出现在Margulis脑海里:海报中那个看起来像Gaston的人。所以此处trigger有“原因”之意,故选C。‎ ‎【40题详解】‎ 推理判断题。 从第五段可知录制的音乐和耳朵虫音乐都是一种新现象,无论走到哪里都能反复听到同一首歌,这是人类发展、科技发展的结果。故选A。‎ ‎【41题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。 第五段最后一句话But there are some well-established ways to cast off the earworm songs.是对下面三段的总结。最后三段列举了摆脱耳朵虫歌曲行之有效的方法,故选D。‎ ‎【点睛】近年来高考加大了猜测词义题的考查,主要包括对生词生义的推测、熟词生义的推测以及对it/they/them/that/those等代词指代对象的判断等。‎ 做这种类型的题,要根据词、词组、句子所在的语境来判断其意义,因此熟练掌握一些猜词技巧是做好这类题的关键。猜测词义时,要掌握以下5种解题技巧: ‎ 技巧 1 对比法:利用文中的反义词、表对比关系的词或同义词猜测词义。 ‎ 技巧 2 因果法:从原因推测结果,从结果推测原因。 ‎ 技巧3 构词法:还可以依靠构词法方面的知识,从生词本身猜测词义。 ‎ 技巧4 根据句子结构进行判断。 ‎ 技巧5 根据上下文进行判断:利用语境及前后的提示来猜测词义。‎ 例如第二题中trigger的意思就是根据语境来判断的。‎ D Cycling You need only look at a professional cyclist to appreciate the potential effects of cycling on the body. But what about the mind? It’s a question that has long challenged anyone who has wondered how riding a bike can offer what feels close to a state of emptying your mind.‎ Dr. John Ratey thinks cycling increases “the chemistry in your brain that makes you feel calm,” but also that carrying out multiple operations while cycling can be an effective treatment, as shown in a German study involving 115 children, half of whom did activities such as cycling that involved ‎ complex movements, while the rest performed more straightforward exercises with the same aerobic (有氧的) demands. Both groups did better than they previously had in concentration tests, but the “complex” group did a lot better.‎ There have been other interesting findings too. In 2003, Dr. Jay Alberts rode a tandem bicycle, a bicycle built for two riders sitting one behind the other, across the American state of Ohio with a friend who has Parkinson’s (帕金森) disease, a condition affecting the nervous system. The idea was to raise awareness of the disease, but to the surprise of both riders, the patient showed significant improvements. Dr. Jay Alberts then scanned the brains of 26 Parkinson’s patients during and after an eight-week exercise programme using bikes. Half the patients were allowed to ride at their own paces, while the others were pushed harder. All patients improved, and the group which was pushed harder showed particularly significant increases in connectivity between areas of intelligence responsible for functions such as walking and picking things up.‎ We don’t know how this happens, but there is more evidence of the link between Parkinson’s and cycling. A video on the Internet shows a 58-year-old man with severe Parkinson’s. At first, we watch the patient trying to walk. He can barely stand and his hands shake uncontrollably. Then we see the man on a bicycle being supported by others. With a push, he’s off, cycling past cars with perfect balance. Doctors don’t fully understand this discrepancy either, but say that cycling may act as some sort of action that helped the patient’s brain.‎ The science of cycling is incomplete, but perhaps the most remarkable thing for the everyday rider is that it can require no conscious focus at all. The mindlessness of cycling can not only make us happier, but also leave room for other thoughts. On the seat of my bike, I’ve solved problems at work and made life decisions, as, I’m sure, have countless others.‎ ‎42. What does the study described in Paragraph 2 suggest?‎ A. Cycling has a good effect on physical fitness.‎ B. The tasks involved in cycling can be hard for children.‎ C. Lack of exercise like cycling causes lack of concentration.‎ D. Cycling can improve the ability to focus attention on a task.‎ ‎43. Studies of people with Parkinson’s show that ______.‎ A. cycling does more good if sufferers put more effort into it B. cycling on tandem bikes has a better effect on the disease C. not every person with Parkinson’s will benefit from cycling D. social awareness is more important for Parkinson’s sufferers ‎44. What does the underlined part “this discrepancy” in Paragraph 4 refer to?‎ A. Why Parkinson’s affects some people and not others.‎ B. Why someone with Parkinson’s can cycle but not walk.‎ C. How cycling could be included in treatment for Parkinson’s.‎ D. How a link between cycling and Parkinson’s was discovered.‎ ‎45. What’s the main idea of the passage?‎ A. The effect of cycling is not yet fully understood.‎ B. Cycling is believed to be both complex and mindless.‎ C. Cycling has a significant influence on people’s mind.‎ D. People may be more intelligent with the help of cycling,‎ ‎【答案】42. D 43. A 44. B 45. C ‎【解析】‎ 本文属于科普文章。骑自行车不仅可以强身健体,而且对于人的脑子也有益处。比如骑自行车可使人对任务的注意力有所提高,患帕金森症的病人骑自行车后,投入的时间越多恢复的越好。对此虽然不够科学,但确实存在。骑自行车对人的身心有很大的影响。‎ ‎【42题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段“as shown in a German study involving 115 children, half of whom did activities such as cycling that involved complex movements,…Both groups did better than they previously had in concentration tests, but the “complex” group did a lot better.”中可知,在德国的一项涉及115名儿童,其中一半人是骑自行车,活动中涉及到复杂的动作,而其余的直接进行相同的有氧的运动。两组在注意力集中在任务上的测试时都比做运动以前好,但是骑自行车等复杂性动词的人表现的更好。分析选项可知D项(骑自行车可以提高注意力集中在任务上的能力)还有同义词组concentrate(文中的名词concentration)= focus on。故选D。‎ ‎【43题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段“Dr. Jay Alberts then scanned the brains of 26 Parkinson’s patients during and after an eight-week exercise programme using bikes. Half the patients were allowed to ride at their own paces, while the others were pushed harder. All patients improved, and the group which was pushed harder showed particularly significant increases in connectivity between areas of intelligence ‎ responsible for functions such as walking and picking things up.”可知,Jay Alberts博士接着扫描26帕金森病人的脑中,使用自行车八周锻炼后。一半的病人被允许按自己的速度骑,其他的则被推得更用力。所有的病人都得到了改善,骑车人投入更多的精力,许多功能区连通性显著增加,恢复的更好。由此可知骑自行车对于这种病的恢复有显著的影响,投入的精力越多,治疗的效果越好。分析选项可知A项符合题意,故选A。‎ ‎【44题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据第四段内容可知本段主要叙述了患帕金森症的人的恢复与骑自行车有一定的关系。患有帕金森症的开始连站都不能,也不能走路,但骑上自行车后却能掌握平衡。可知本段所说的“this discrepancy”(这种差异)就是指患有帕金森症的人能骑自行车却不能步行。分析选项可知B项与题意相符,故选B项。‎ ‎【45题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。文章的第一段中提出了骑自行车有益于身体健康,接着提出了问题是否对人的脑子有影响。而且骑自行车对人的脑子有影响这个问题一直困扰着人们。在第二段John Ratey博士用实验证明了骑自行车对人对任务的注意力有提高,第三段Jay Alberts博士又发现了患帕金森症的病人骑自行车投入的时间越多,恢复的越好。最后一段作者用自己的事例再一次证明骑自行车对人的头脑有很大的影响,由此可知C符合题意。‎ 第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,共 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。‎ Urban Wildlife Cities are diverse ecosystems. In addition to visitors from the wild, a large number of species share our urban areas. As our cities spread, we need to think about what it is like for other species to have human neighbors.‎ Cities are built for humans. ____46____For example, most city parks are kept neat and tidy so that humans will find them beautiful.
