Courtesy of Budget Budget true to its name, has some of the cheapest car rentals in the industry, with an average rental cost of about $35/day and an extra discount--- up to 35 percent--- if you pay when you book. They also do the Mustang weekend program where you can get a free third day--- although it offers four-door full-size cars only, it’s still an offer that’s attractive to families hitting the road for a quick weekend trip. 36.

Traditional migration paths take birds through countries that are not protecting locations to stop, rest and feed. The scientists studied the migration, or flight, paths, of almost 1,500 species and decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas. The major danger for migratory birds is development in human society. Building and paving has covered over nature where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another. For example, a bird called the bar-tailed godwit migrates from its breeding grounds in the Arctic flying all the way to the southern earth in Australia and New Zealand stopping at Yellow Sea mudflats in China along the way. One of the scientists who worked on the study says “many of these critical sites have been taken up owing to urban, industrial and agricultural expansion.” The problem, according to researchers, is that many of these small birds die along their migration because they don’t have a safe place to eat and rest to restore their energy for the next part of their journey. Countries in North Africa, Central Asia and those along the coasts of East Asia are having the most difficult time conserving land. The scientists say these countries do not have enough areas that are safe for birds. In addition, many of the sanctuaries(避难所) are not wide enough to cover the paths of migratory birds. One species that doesn’t exist any longer is the Eskimo curlew. “Our world gets poorer every time we lose a species,” one of the scientists says. The researchers say if one country might have preserved safe zones for migratory birds while a neighboring country might not, a bird might die. One scientist who is not involved in the report says that while some habitats are changing, more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds. He says small changes--- like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of areas birds would be likely to use--- could make a big difference. 46. Why is development in human society considered as the major danger for migratory birds? A. Construction activities occupy birds’ paths. B. Serious industrial pollution damages birds’ habitats. C. Hunting activities happen more frequently. D. Airplane flights directly harm birds’ safety. 47. What’s the current situation of protecting migratory birds? A. Countries in East Asia don’t want to make any changes. B. The progress still remains at the primary stage. C. Some of the efforts of humans aren’t working well. D. Not many countries are involved in the activities. 48. According to the researchers, __________. A. governments need to work together and provide safe areas B. safe zones in neighboring countries need to be combined together C. more bird species will die out if they continue migrating through countries D. human activities should give way to the birds when the migrating season comes 49. What can we know about the migratory birds according to the passage? A. They always travel from the north to the south. B. They need to stop during the migration to correct directions. C. All of them are endangered because of lacking protection. D. Some of them take rests or feed in cities. 50. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The migration of birds influences society development. B. Migratory birds are dying from losing their homes. C. Countries need to work together to protect migratory birds. D. Protecting migratory birds is very necessary. 【答案】46. A 47. C 48. A 49. D 50. B 【解析】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍城市化建设和工农业发展，使得候鸟栖息地遭到严重破坏， 这将直接导致大量鸟类物种的消失。 【46 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的 The scientists studied the migration，or flight，paths，of almost 1，500 species and decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas． The major danger for migratory birds is development in human society（科学家们研究了近 1500 个物种的迁徙或飞行 路线，发现其中 91%都经过了危险地带。候鸟面临的主要危险是人类社会的发展）可知人类 社会的发展被认为是候鸟的主要危险是因为建筑活动占据了鸟类活动的路径。A. Construction activities occupy birds’ paths.（人类活动占据了鸟类的路径）符合以上说法，故选 A 项。 【47 题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的 One scientist who is not involved in the report says that while some habitats are changing，more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds（一位没有参与这份 报告的科学家说，虽然一些栖息地正在改变，但是可以做更多的工作来保证城市地区鸟类的 安全）故推测人类保护鸟类的一些努力并没有起到作用。C. Some of the efforts of humans aren’t working well.（人类的一些努力并不凑效）符合以上说法，故选 C 项。 【48 题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的 The researchers say if one country might have preserved safe zones for migratory birds while a neighboring country might not，a bird might die．（研究人员说， 如果一个国家可能为候鸟保留了安全区域，而一个邻国可能没有，那么一只鸟可能会死亡） 可推测各国政府需要共同努力为鸟类提供安全的区域。A. governments need to work together and provide safe areas（政府需要合作，提供安全区域）符合以上推测，故选 A 项。 【49 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的 Building and paving has covered over nature where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another 可推测候鸟中的一些在城市里休息或进食。D. Some of them take rests or feed in cities.（候鸟中的一些在城市休息或者进食）符合以上推测，故 选 D 项。 【50 题详解】 主旨大意题。这是一篇说明文，其主旨大意一般在首段或者尾段。根据第一段 Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats，or homelands, are disappearing （科学家表示，很大比例的鸟类物种正处于危险之中，因为它们的栖息地或家园正在消失） 可知文章主要介绍了候鸟因失去家园而濒临死亡。B. Migratory birds are dying from losing their homes.（候鸟因为失去家园而濒临灭绝）可概括本文，故选 B 项。 D When you were at school, the last thing you probably wanted to do was to spend your weekends going to work. There was homework to do, sport to play and fun to have. But our parents probably persuaded us to find a job to earn some money and get some life experience. When I was a teenager I had a paper round: delivering newspapers to people’s homes. Today in the UK you are allowed to work from the age of 13, and many children do take up part-time jobs. It’s one of those things that are seen almost as a rite of passage (成人仪式). It’s a taste of independence and sometimes a useful thing to put on your CV（简历). Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing their own money. Some research has shown that not taking up a Saturday or holiday job could be deleterious to a person later on. A 2015 study by the UK Commission on Employment and Skills found that not participating in part-time work at school age had been blamed by employers’ organizations for young adults being ill-prepared for full-time employment, but despite this, recent statistics have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years. So does this mean that British teenagers are now afraid of hard work? Probably not. Some experts feel that young people feel going out to work will affect their performance at school and they are under some pressure now to study hard and get good exam result and a good job in the long term. However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, told BBC News that “Properly regulated part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives.” In reality, it’s all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest. Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom. One 13-year-old girl called Rachel, who has a Saturday job in a shop, told the BBC that “I enjoy my job because I’m earning money and it helps me socialize with people I work with.” That seems like something worth getting up for a Saturday morning. Did you do a part-time job when you were at school? 51. What conclusion can we draw from Para2? A. Children over 13 in the UK must take up part-time jobs. B. Taking up part-time jobs is good for students in many ways. C Students taking up part-time jobs are more independent. D. Taking up part-time jobs can help students save money. 52. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “deleterious”? A. Threatening. B. Important. C. Beneficial. D. Harmful. 53. Why don’t some British schoolchildren take up part-time jobs according to some experts? A. Because they are not ready to go out to work. B. Because they cannot endure hardships. C. Because they want to study hard and get good academic performance. D. Because they lack confidence and skills needed to work. 54. Which of the following will Geoff Barton agree with? A. Students should put all their energies into their studies. B. It is good for students to do part-time jobs as long as they are proper. C. Students with good grades and no study pressure can do part-time jobs. D. The more part-time jobs they do, the more beneficial it is for students. 55. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Should schoolchildren have part-time jobs? B. What kind of part-time job should schoolchildren do? C. What benefits can part-time jobs bring to schoolchildren? D. Why do British schoolchildren show less interest in part-time jobs? 【答案】51. B 52. D 53. C 54. B 55. A 【解析】 这是一篇议论文。本文讲述了学生兼职对学习的影响。由于担心兼职增长会影响他们的学业 成绩，很多学生选择不兼职，导致兼职的人数下降。但是兼职是可以增加学生的社会经历， 有利于学生增长见识。 【51 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的 Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing their own money（青少年一致认为，它教会了与成年人一起工作 和管理自己的钱的宝贵经验）可知从事兼职工作在很多方面对学生有好处。B. Taking up part-time jobs is good for students in many ways.（从事兼职工作在很多方面对学生有好处）符合 以上说法，故选 B 项。 【52 题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词后面 not participating in part-time work at school age had been blamed by employers’ organizations（在学龄期不从事兼职工作会受到雇主组织的责备）故推测不再周 六或周日做兼职工作可能对会在以后对一个人有害，即划线词的意思为“有害的”，故选 D 项。 【53 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的 Some experts feel that young people feel going out to work will affect their performance at school and they are under some pressure now to study hard and get good exam result and a good job in the long term．（一些专家认为，年轻人觉得出去工作将影响他们在学校 的表现，他们现在在一些压力下努力学习，取得良好的考试成绩和一份好工作）可知英国学 的 生不从事兼职工作是因为他们想努力学习，取得良好的学习成绩。C. Because they want to study hard and get good academic performance.（因为他们想努力学习，取得好成绩）符合以上说法， 故选 C 项。 【54 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的 Geoff Barton，general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders，told BBC News that "Properly regulated part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives." In reality，it's all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest．（学校和 学院领导协会的秘书长 Geoff Barton 告诉 BBC 新闻，"适当管理的兼职工作是帮助年轻人学习 他们在工作中需要的技能的好方法。"实际上，关键是要在做兼职和有足够的时间学习和休息 之间取得平衡）可知 Geoff Barton 认为学生做兼职工作是好的，只要他们是适当的。B. It is good for students to do part-time jobs as long as they are proper.（对于学生来说做适当的兼职工作 是好的）符合以上推测，故选 B 项。 【55 题详解】 主旨大意题。根据本文的主要内容，尤其是 When you were at school, the last thing you probably wanted to do was to spend your weekends going to work. There was homework to do, sport to play and fun to have. But our parents probably persuaded us to find a job to earn some money and get some life experience.可知本文主要陈述了有人认为学生做兼职工作有好处，也有人认为做兼职工作会影 响学习和娱乐。A. Should schoolchildren have part-time jobs? （学生应该做兼职吗）可以作为本文标题，故选 A 项。 第 II 卷（非选择题 共 35 分） 第四部分：写作（共两节；满分 35 分） 第一节 阅读表达 A few weeks ago, I came back from work and found my young daughter waiting for me in the hallway. She greeted me and laughed. As I put my bike into the house, she asked me to say the word---butterfly. So I did. “Butterfly,” I said. “Daddy,” she said, trying to prevent a laugh. “It’s pronounced butterfly, not bu-uh-fly.” It was then that I realized she asked me to pronounce the word on purpose. She was clear that the way I pronounced such words was different from hers. She ran off laughing aloud, almost as if she couldn’t believe her luck that I had fallen into her trap. This is her new trick. If I pronounce something in a way she is not familiar with, she will make her feelings known. All of this is due to my London accent. And it is fairly obvious. Her trick first started when she asked how old I was. I told her, “I’m 37 years old.” She said, “Thur-eee? Not thur-eee. Thir-tee.” She shook her head at me in disappointment for I couldn’t get my basic pronunciation right. My daughter’s obsession with my dropped “t”s is becoming wearing. I find myself paying attention to everything I say. And by everything, I mean e-ver-y-thing, not every-fing. I tried to explain the concept of accents to her. Because she is growing up in Bristol, she starts to develop some strange West Country accent, like her pronunciation of the number two. It sounds like that it has an extra “w” on the end. She sometimes also adds a doing word to the end of her sentences, like “I’m going to the park, I am.” Or “Your pronunciation is funny, you do.” She refused to accept she had an accent. She told me that she sounded like herself, which was true. But I want to make her aware of the importance of accepting that people say things in different ways and that there’s no correct way to speak. I wanted my daughter to appreciate differences, instead of wanting us all to conform to one voice. 56. What is the author’s daughter’s new trick? (no more than 12 words) 57. Why did the author speak in that way? (no more than 10 words) 58. How does the author react to her daughter’s obsession? (no more than 10 words) 59. How do you understand the underlined part in paragraph 5? (no more than 10 words) 60. What do you learn from the text? (no more than 20 words) 【答案】56. Asking/ To ask him to say words he pronounced differently from her./She asks the author to pronounce words in a way different from hers. 57. Because he had a very strong London accent./Due to his London accent. 58. He starts to pay attention to the proper pronunciation. 59. Everyone’s way of speaking is correct. 60. We should try to accept the others’ differences and learn to respect them. 【解析】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章，主要通过作者的女儿就作者的发音和作者开玩笑这件事说明了 说话方式没有对错之分，只是方式不同。 【56 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的 It was then that I realized she asked me to pronounce the word on purpose．She was clear that the way I pronounced such words was different from hers．（就在那时，我 才意识到她是故意让我念这个词的。她很清楚我念这个词的方式和她不一样。她笑着跑开 了，好像她不敢相信我掉进了她的陷阱，这是她的新把戏）可知作者女儿的新把戏是让作者 以不同的口音来说这个词。故填 Asking/ To ask him to say words he pronounced differently from her./She asks the author to pronounce words in a way different from hers. 【57 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的 All of this is due to my London accent．And it is fairly obvious．（所有 这些都是由于我的伦敦口音，这是相当明显的）可知是因为作者的伦敦口音很重，所以才以 这样的方式说话。故填 Because he had a very strong London accent．/Due to his London accent． 【58 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的 My daughter's obsession with my dropped "t"s is becoming wearing．I find myself paying attention to everything I say．（我女儿对我掉下来的"t"字的迷恋正在逐渐加深， 我发现自己对自己说的每一句话都很在意）可知作者开始注意到自己的发音。故填 He starts to pay attention to the proper pronunciation． 【59 题详解】 推理判断题。根据画线句的前半句 But I want to make her aware of the importance of accepting that people say things in different ways（但我想让她意识到接受人们用不同方式说话的重要性） 可知人们说话的方式有很多种，所以画线句子 there's no correct way to speak 就是指有很多的说 话方式都是没有对错之分的，只是方式不同。故填 Everyone's way of speaking is correct． 【60 题详解】 个人观点题。本题是个人观点题，只要符合原文，合情合理即可。故填 We should try to accept the others' differences and learn to respect them． 第二节 书面表达 (共 1 小题；满分 25 分) 61.假定你是高三学生李津。一年前曾经在美国 California 的 Steven School 参加过为期一个月 的国际学生交流项目。那次活动对你的影响很大。现在请你根据以下要点，给你在该校学习 期间的老师 Mr. Woods 写一封电子邮件： 1 询问他的近况； 2 感谢在美国期间他对你的照顾，帮助（生活，英语学习等）； 3 你的好友王磊想在今年夏天报考他的学校，询问是否方便联系他和咨询相关事宜； 4 邀请他来中国（访问，观光……） 注意：1. 词数不少于 100； 2. 可适当加入细节，以使内容充实，行文连贯； 3. 开头，结尾以给出，不计入总词数。 参考词汇:国际学生交流项目 international students exchange program Dear Mr. Woods, How are you doing these days? ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ Best regards.
