You seem to be interested in that part of the world.‎ M：I am，but there is too much material to cover.I’ll be writing forever，and Professor Grant only wants five to seven pages.‎ W：So then limit it to one place in China，say Beijing.You’ve been there and you said it’s got lots of places of interest and you enjoyed your trip very much.‎ M：That’s not a bad idea.I brought many books and things back with me last summer.That would be great resource material，now if only I could remember where I put them.‎ Text 8‎ M：I’m sorry about the accident，Mrs Norris.‎ W：No one was hurt，thank goodness.‎ M：We need to send in an accident report.And I need to ask you a few questions.‎ W：All right.‎ M：Where exactly was the accident?‎ W：It was on Jefferson Street，between 19th and 20th Streets.‎ M：What time did it happen?‎ W：At five minutes after five.‎ M：And who hit you?‎ W：Her name is Mrs William R．Crauston.She lives at 1645 Jefferson Street.‎ M：Now，what happened exactly? Tell me in your own words.‎ W：Well，I was driving along Jefferson Street.I wasn’t going fast at all.I saw this car.It was backing out of the driveway.It was Mrs Crauston.She didn’t stop at all.She backed right into me.‎ M：Very well.Now I need to look at your car.Where is it?‎ W：It’s at Fulton’s Garage.That’s on Jefferson and Vine Streets.I’ll go along with you.‎ Text 9‎ W：Dr.Brown，you are working with the UN Food and Agriculture Organization.Would you please tell our listeners something about diseases recently spreading among animals?‎ M：Well，animal diseases were reported recently in the Middle East，Africa and Europe.The UN officials give two reasons for animal diseases spreading.One is the increased international trade in animals and animal products.The other is the movement of people and animals from country to country.‎ W：How can we prevent and treat animal diseases?‎ M：Well，no country can claim to be safe from animal diseases.Medical care of animals is very important.‎ W：Do animal diseases kill human beings?‎ M：Yes.It was reported that Rift Valley Fever killed 30 people in Yemen last month.‎ W：How about the other animal diseases?‎ M：Earlier this year，Italy reported outbreaks of bluetongue.Last month，footandmouth disease was reported in South Africa.In just one month,36,000 head of cattle were killed to control the disease.‎ Text 10‎ M：Welcome to Morning News.“Go to the playground and have fun，” parents will often say to their kids.But they should remember playgrounds can be dangerous.Each year about 200,000 children end up in hospital emergency rooms with playground injuries.Many injuries involve falls from too high equipment on too hard surfaces.Nearly 70% of the injuries happen on public playgrounds.Recent studies show they may be badly designed，their protective surfaces are inadequate，and their equipment is poorly maintained.Parents should make sure that the equipment in the playground is safe and the children are playing safely.Last year，the national program for playground safety gave the nation’s playgrounds a grade of C for safety after visiting more than 3,000 playgrounds nationwide.Parents should watch closely.They should always be within shouting and running distance of their children.Young children don’t understand cause and effect.So they may run in front of moving swings.They’re also better at climbing up than at getting down.So they may panic at the top of a ladder.It’s important for children to know you’re watching them.Once they feel that sense of security，that’s when they can be creative.‎ 第二部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)‎ 第一节　(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)‎ ‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。‎ A Throughout the year，a number of Youth Exchanges activities are held by an organization—The International Voluntary Service.These activities give small groups of 45 young people the opportunity to take part in volunteering trips abroad for an average of two weeks.These young people are joined by 45 young people from 34 other nationalities and it will be a wonderful intercultural experience in a safe environment.‎ Example Youth Exchanges：‎ Youth Exchange 1‎ Location：Ireland Other

intends to promote social inclusion and continuous development，regarded as a process of civil rights and active citizenship.Over 10 days，the group will take part in activities to raise awareness about the effect of our behavior on the environment.‎ ‎21．What do you focus on when travelling in France?‎ A．Rebuilding communities.‎ B．Gardening work.‎ C．Civil rights.‎ D．Developing social inclusion.‎ 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据题干中的France可定位至Youth Exchange 2，由该部分的“Theme：Organic gardening & continual living.”可知，在法国旅行时你最关注园林工作，故选B。‎ ‎22．If you are interested in protecting the environment，you can take part in .‎ A．Youth Exchange 1 B．Youth Exchange 2‎ C．Youth Exchange 3 D．Youth Exchange 4‎ 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据Youth Exchange 4部分的“Theme：A socialenvironmental project that intends to promote social inclusion and continuous development，regarded as a process of civil rights and active citizenship.”可知，如果你对环境保护感兴趣，你可以参加Youth Exchange 4，故选D。‎ ‎23．Which nationality are Youth Exchanges most popular with?‎ A．France. B．Spain. C．Italy. D．Ireland.‎ 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据Youth Exchange 1部分Other nationalities：Spain，Italy，Hungary；Youth Exchange 2部分Other nationalities：Bulgaria，Italy；Youth Exchange 4部分Location：Italy可知，文中四个项目中，三个都包括意大利，由此可知，意大利最流行，故选C。‎ B Every year from March to October，Christian Moullec，also known as “Birdman”，takes to the skies aboard his adapted light aircraft.However，the 58yearold Frenchman’s daily 30minute flight is not just to enjoy the impressive views，but to guide flocks(鸟群) of lesser whitefronted geese(小白额雁) through safe migration paths which the birds can teach future generations.‎ His deed began in 1995 when he noticed their declining population in the wilds of Lapland，Sweden.To prevent their numbers from dropping further，Moullec tried to get the threatened species to follow him along migration routes that would protect them from bird hunters.‎ However，getting grown geese to follow his lead proved challenging.As young geese imitate and follow whomever they view as their parent，Moullec decided to raise the geese from birth.‎ To help raise funds and awareness of his job to protect not just the geese but birds worldwide，Moullec often allows paying tourists to join him on the 30minutelong flights aboard his aircraft.In addition to the trained birds flying alongside them，visitors，who come from as far as a 15hour plane flight away，are treated to a variety of crane and geese species as well as breathtaking views of castles and cities.‎ He often brings his camera along for the flights，capturing photos not just for their beauty，but for what they describe.Moullec believes the use of agricultural chemicals has done harm to wild European birds，with more than a third disappearing in the last 30 years.“It’s a disaster，”he said.“My beautiful images with flying birds should be used to tell this story.”‎ 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了法国的“鸟叔”驾驶轻型飞机引领小白额雁沿着安全的飞行路径迁徙，他还带着游客一起体验这样的旅行，目的是让人们意识到人类活动对鸟类生存产生了巨大的影响，致使鸟类数量锐减，希望人们来共同保护鸟类。‎ ‎24．Why does “Birdman” always fly to the sky on his aircraft?‎ A．To observe geese along their migration routes.‎ B．To follow geese through safe migration paths.‎ C．To take visitors to operate his adapted aircraft.‎ D．To guide geese fly safely during the migration.‎ 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“but to guide flocks(鸟群) of lesser whitefronted geese through safe migration paths which the birds can teach future generations”可知，“鸟叔”是为了引领小白额雁安全迁徙，故D项正确。‎ ‎25．What do we know about “Birdman”？‎ A．He is a nature lover.‎ B．He is a bird watcher.‎ C．He is a volunteer pilot.‎ D．He is a bird hunter.‎ 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，“鸟叔”驾驶轻型飞机引领小白额雁沿着安全的飞行路径迁徙，他还带着游客一起体验这样的旅行，目的是希望人们来共同保护鸟类，由此可知，“鸟叔”是一个热爱自然的人，故A项正确。‎ ‎26．What does Moullec often take photos in his flights for?‎ A．Recording the use of agricultural chemicals.‎ B．Showing serious damage caused by chemicals.‎ C．Describing his experiences with flying birds.‎ D．Capturing the beautiful views of birds and cities.‎ 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“He often brings his camera along for the flights，capturing photos not just for their beauty，but for what they describe.”可知，“鸟叔”拍照是为了呈现这些照片反映的问题，也就是后面提到的农药加速了鸟类的数量减少，故B项正确。‎ ‎27．What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A．Birdman Guides Flocks to Learn to Fly B．Birdman Finds Birds Disappearing C．Birdman Helps Flocks Safely Migrate D．Birdman Protects Birds From Hunters 答案　C 解析　标题归纳题。通读全文尤其是第一段第二句“However，the 58yearold Frenchman’s ‎ daily 30minute flight is not just to enjoy the impressive views，but to guide flocks(鸟群) of lesser whitefronted geese(小白额雁) through safe migration paths which the birds can teach future generations.”可知，本文主要讲述了“鸟叔”驾驶轻型飞机飞行不是为了欣赏美景，而是引领小白额雁沿着安全的飞行路径迁徙，故C项最能概括文章主旨。‎ C ‎“At almost any given age，most of us are getting better at some things and worse at others，”Joshua Hartshorne，an MIT cognitive(认知的) science researcher and the lead author of a study looking at how intelligence changes as we age，told Business Insider.His team quizzed thousands of people aged 10－90 on their ability to do things like remembering lists of words，recognizing faces，learning names，and doing math.Their results suggest that no matter your age，there’s almost always a new peak on the horizon.‎ The human brain has a remarkable capacity to recognize and identify faces，and scientists are just beginning to learn why.On average，we know that our ability to learn and remember new faces appears to peak shortly after our 30th birthday.‎ Having trouble focusing? The study suggests that our ability to maintain attention improves with age，reaching its peak around age 43.While younger adults may excel in the speed and flexibility of information processing，adults approaching their midyears may have the greatest capacity to remain focused.‎ Dating is tough.One of the reasons could be that we’re generally bad at reading other people’s emotions until we reach our late 40s.That’s according to one component of Hartshorne’s study，which involved showing thousands of people images of faces cropped tightly around the eye area.Participants were asked to describe the emotion the person in the photo was feeling.Performance peaked for people aged around 48.‎ Many people believe that their math skills decline after they leave school and stop practicing arithmetic.But the next time you try to split up a check，keep this in mind：your ability to do basic subtraction and division doesn’t reach its apex until your 50th birthday.‎ Ever wonder why you always lose at Scrabble? Good news：Your best days may be ahead.According to people’s scores on multiplechoice vocabulary tests，most of us don’t reach our peak wordsmithing abilities until we’re in our late 60s or early 70s.‎ ‎28．What did the scientists mainly test during the research?‎ A．Communication ability. B．Athletic ability.‎ C．Intelligence ability. D．Reading ability.‎ 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。由第一段中的“...Joshua Hartshorne，an MIT cognitive(认知的)science ‎ researcher and the lead author of a study looking at how intelligence changes as we age”可知，乔舒亚·哈茨霍恩是麻省理工学院认知科学研究员，他主导了一项关于衰老与智力变化关系的研究。所以在研究过程中，科学家们主要测试了人的智力能力。故C选项正确。‎ ‎29．What does the underlined word “apex” in Paragraph 5 mean?‎ A．Destination. B．Top.‎ C．Goal. D．Minimum.‎ 答案　B 解析　词义猜测题。由第五段中的“...keep this in mind：your ability to do basic subtraction and division doesn’t reach its apex until your 50th birthday.”可知，切记：你做减法除法的基本运算能力直到50岁才能达到巅峰。所以判断出第五段画线的“apex”一词是top “顶端”的意思。故B选项正确。‎ ‎30．Who is most likely to succeed according to the text?‎ A．Lucy,72，trying to win at Scrabble.‎ B．Tom,26，trying to identify strangers’ faces.‎ C．Jack,48，trying to focus his attention for a long time.‎ D．Lily,43，trying to read the emotions in different eyes.‎ 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。由最后一段中的“According to people’s scores on multiplechoice vocabulary tests，most of us don’t reach our peak wordsmithing abilities until we’re in our late 60s or early 70s.”可知，根据人们的词汇多选测试成绩，大多数人直到60岁末或者70岁初遣词造句的水平才达到巅峰。所以判断出A选项“露西，72岁，试图赢得拼字游戏”最有可能成功。故A选项正确。‎ ‎31．What does Hartshorne’s study mainly tell us?‎ A．There is no end to learning.‎ B．Constant dropping wears away the stone.‎ C．Genius is nothing but labor and diligence.‎ D．A foot may prove short while an inch may prove long.‎ 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。通读全文可知，乔舒亚·哈茨霍恩通过对人们不同年龄段智力能力的测试，表明人类不同的能力会在不同的年龄达到高峰。意在告诉读者人们都各有长处，也各有短处，彼此都有可取之处。即“尺有所短寸有所长”。故D选项正确。‎ D Have you ever wished you could grow fresh fruit in your garden but worry about there not being enough space，or it won’t look pretty，or it’s too difficult?‎ What if I was to tell you that even a beginner can successfully grow a wide variety of fruit from apples and pears to cherries，blueberries and raspberries，and possibly even figs or nectarines?‎ The first thing you need to know：the sweeter the fruit，the more sun it will require.A sunny wall is an ideal place to train a sunloving fruit tree like a peach or an apricot.Plant the tree at the base of the wall but not too close(about 30cm is about right) in soil enriched with fertilizer(肥料)．As it grows，splay(展开) the branches evenly and attach them to the wall.As the plant grows gradually，cut out old untidy branches and tie in new healthy branches.The idea of splaying or “fanning” is that as much sun as possible gets to the fruit，so it can ripen beautifully and maximise your crop.‎ Choose a variety that won’t grow too large.In slightly shadier spots you can grow gooseberries or raspberries.Most of these come in compact(紧凑的) varieties and can also be fantrained(扇状整枝) against a wall if space is an issue.‎ I have a tiny orchard(果园) of spacesaving apple，pear and plum(李子) trees bought as single vertical stems(茎) which I grow in pots.They grow to a maximum of 2m high and no wider than 45cm.My children love them！Simply cut back the side stems to about 10cm at this time of year and you’re good to go.Just remember that potgrown plants rely totally on you for their food and water.‎ As a gardener I was quite late to fruitgrowing，but I realised quickly that it becomes an addictive hobby.And as a complete bonus I’ve noticed a definite increase in my bee population over the past few years.There’s free food，and it’s good for the environment too.What could be better?‎ ‎32．How does the author attract readers’ attention to the topic?‎ A．By making comparisons.‎ B．By raising some questions.‎ C．By listing some general rules.‎ D．By telling interesting stories.‎ 答案　B 解析　写作手法题。前两段都是问句形式，相比陈述句，问句更能激发读者的好奇心、吸引读者的注意力。‎ ‎33．What should you do to make your peach tree bear sweet fruit?‎ A．Do the splaying regularly.‎ B．Use fertilizer frequently.‎ C．Choose some compact varieties.‎ D．Plant the tree far from your wall.‎ 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中的前两句及最后一句可知，对于桃树而言，阳光越充足，果实就越甜，而定期伸展树枝的目的就是让桃子得到足够的阳光照射。‎ ‎34．What do we know about gooseberries and raspberries?‎ A．They are sunlovers.‎ B．They are space savers.‎ C．They can grow very large.‎ D．They may die from splaying.‎ 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，它们都是紧凑型的品种，对空间的要求不是很高。而且，如果空间有限的话，还可以整枝，让它们靠着墙生长。‎ ‎35．How are potgrown fruit trees different from fieldgrown ones?‎ A．They bear more fruits.‎ B．They are more dependent.‎ C．They need more water and food.‎ D．They are more popular with kids.‎ 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Just remember that potgrown plants rely totally on you for their food and water.”可知，相较于生长在田野间的果树，长在盆里的果树完全依赖人们来提供水分和营养物质。‎ 第二节　(共5小题；每小题2分，满分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。‎ Most people will agree that it is good to read，but not all reading is equal.Here are some tips for productive reading.‎ ‎·Take notes.‎ Even if you never refer to your notes again，the process of taking notes helps you sort out something important and will help you remember it.You can choose computers or paper for your notes. 36 On the other hand，many people feel they recall information better when they write it by hand.‎ ‎· 37 ‎ If you are like me，once you commit to reading a book，it is very hard to give up until you’ve finished it.Given the number of books that are available and our limited life，it just doesn’t make sense to read a book that you aren’t getting anything from.‎ ‎·Variety is good.‎ While you don’t want to give up on a book that you are benefiting from，it is important to give yourself variety.You can pick up a book at random or intentionally looking for something different from what you normally read. 38 ‎ ‎·Review what you’ve read.‎ If you want to remember what you read，take the time to review. 39 When you finish a book，spend 15 minutes examining your notes in 2 to 4 days.Then 2 to 4 weeks after that and then 2 to 4 months after that.This will strengthen the knowledge in your mind.‎ ‎·Discuss what you read with others.‎ ‎ 40 If you can talk with people in person，that is ideal，but don’t overlook the power of the Internet in connecting people with similar interests but different geography.‎ A．Don’t be afraid to give up.‎ B．Make full use of reading time.‎ C．It’s hard to get more out of your normal reading.‎ D．This can be very valuable in giving you a different opinion.‎ E．And you’d better go over things at ever increasing time intervals.‎ F．Using computers will make it easy to find your notes later by search.‎ G．The best way to get more from your reading is to discuss it with others.‎ ‎36．答案　F 解析　根据上文的“You can choose computers or paper for your notes.”和空后句可知，此处是指用电脑记笔记与手写记笔记各有各的好处，故F项符合语境。‎ ‎37．答案　A 解析　考查小标题。根据下文“If you are like me，once you commit to reading a book，it is very hard to give up until you’ve finished it.”中的关键词give up和“it just doesn’t make sense to read a book that you aren’t getting anything from(读一本你没有任何收获的书是没有意义的)”可知，不要害怕放弃。故选A。‎ ‎38．答案　D 解析　根据小标题和空前句中的关键词something different可知，D项符合语境。‎ ‎39．答案　E 解析　根据小标题Review what you’ve read.和空后句可知，E项“你最好每隔一段时间复习一遍。”符合语境。故选E。‎ ‎40．答案　G 解析　根据小标题Discuss what you read with others.可知，G项“从阅读中获得更多的最好方法是和别人讨论。”照应该段标题，符合题意。故选G。‎ 第三部分　语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节　(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ In my 40s，as a new solo(独自的) traveller，I spent endless time looking around souvenir shops in tourist areas.It never 41 me that in shops where merchants weren’t 42 big rents，I could save more money.Besides，I didn’t give much 43 for the size of what I was buying，nor did I care that I would have to take the 44 to carry it around for the duration of my holidays.‎ I learned and 45 .But I also found that over time，the objects that were 46 to me changed too.As my tastes matured，my bags got 47 ，and so did the time I spent buying cheap goods.‎ In my 50s I 48 boxes from around the world.Not ordinary boxes but ones 49 made by artists.These were small so they 50 easily into every place of my backpack.The 51 was delightful—the silver from South Korea, the painted camel bone from Egypt and dozens more took up their 52 in my house.‎ Then a 53 thing happened.My interest in the collection 54 while my grandchildren’s interest in it grew，so a wonderful and new 55 began.Each time a child came to visit，he or she was 56 to pick a box.My popularity 57 increased among the children，and pretty soon my collection had been 58 among the little people in our family.Each gift was 59 by a mini travel story explaining where the 60 was found，who had made it and what that country was like.‎ 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己对旅游纪念品的兴趣变化，间接地描述着自己生活的变化。‎ ‎41．A.counted on B．dawned on C．called on D．concentrated on 答案　B 解析　根据第一句话中的“我在旅游地花大量时间逛纪念品店”以及下文中的“for the size of what I was buying”可知，此处表示“我从没有想过在商家不用付大笔租金的店里买东西(纪念品)，那样会更省钱。” dawn on使开始明白，使渐渐领悟，使开始理解，符合语境。count on依靠，指望；call on呼吁，短暂访问；concentrate on把注意力集中于。‎ ‎42．A.lending B．investing C．purchasing

didn’t”可判断此处表示“我不关注所买东西的大小，我也不在乎在整个旅游期间费力带着所买的东西周游”，故选concern“关切，担心”。advice建议；anxiety焦虑；support支持。‎ ‎44．A.trouble B．way C．chance D．lead 答案　A 解析　参见上题解析。take the trouble to do sth.费力做某事。‎ ‎45．A.applied

matured”可知，随着作者的兴趣逐渐成熟，作者对纪念品自然就有所选择，所以“我的背包越来越小了，我花在买便宜物品上的时间也越来越少了”。‎ ‎48．A.designed B．discovered C．collected D．received 答案　C 解析　表示收集盒子应用collect。下文的“My interest in the collection”也是提示。design设计；discover发现；receive收到。‎ ‎49．A.lovingly B．intentionally C．carelessly D．ambitiously 答案　A 解析　本空与ordinary对应，既然不普通的，那就应是艺术家精心制作的。lovingly

D．principle 答案　A 解析　根据上文提到作者的孙辈们对作者的收藏品越来越感兴趣和下文中的“Each time a child came to visit，he or she was to pick a box.”可知，一个美妙的新习惯开始了。routine在这里表示“常规，习惯”。‎ ‎56．A.forbidden B．allowed C．advocated D．promoted 答案　B 解析　每当有孩子来，他或她都被允许选一个盒子。forbid禁止；advocate提倡；promote提升。‎ ‎57．A.normally B．casually C．fortunately D．delightfully 答案　D 解析　随着孩子们的到来，作者收藏的盒子日益受欢迎，而作者也越来越受欢迎，这是作者感到开心的一点，故选delightfully“令人愉快地”。normally正常地；casually随便地；fortunately幸运地。‎ ‎58．A.exposed B．awarded C．divided D．exchanged 答案　C 解析　很快作者的收藏品就被孩子们分完了，所以选divide“分开，分配”。‎
