The park is a major destination for all members of the family. By driving the grand loop road, visitors can view the park from the comfort of their vehicle and also take a rest at one of the many roadside picnic areas.‎ How much is the entrance fee?‎ ‎$25 - Private, noncommercial vehicle;‎ ‎$20 - Motorcycle or snowmobile (winter);‎ ‎$12 - Visitors 16 and older entering by foot, bike, ski, etc.‎ This fee provides the visitor with a 7-day entrance permit for both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.‎ A $50 park annual pass provides entrance for a single private non-commercial vehicle at Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. The $10 Interagency Senior Pass (62 and older) is a lifetime pass available to U.S. citizens or permanent residents.‎ Where can you stay?‎ Inside Yellowstone, you can choose to stay in modern or historic hotels and cabins inside the park like the Old Faithful Inn, the world’s largest log structure. For those who want to be a little closer to nature, there are 12 campgrounds with a range ‎ of services from primitive pit toilets to shower and laundry facilities. There’ s also RV camping with and without dumping stations.‎ Staying outside the park gives you unique Old West experiences but still keeps you close to park attractions.‎ If you’re taking a road trip to Yellowstone, you’ll want to check out our Hotels and Cabins On The Road section.‎ ‎1. The entrance fees listed on the web page don’t apply to _______.‎ A. temporary residents in the USA B. vehicles involving business activities C. visitors out of a certain age range D. private motorcycles and snowmobiles ‎2. What are you likely to acquire in the Old Faithful Inn?‎ A. Unique old west experiences.‎ B. Primitive pit toilets and shower.‎ C. Knowledge of origin of the park.‎ D. RV camping with dumping sites.‎ ‎3. Where does the passage probably come from?‎ A. A magazine. B. A textbook.‎ C. A notice. D. A travel guide.‎ ‎【答案】1. B 2. C 3. D ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了黄石公园的门票以及可以选择的住宿及游玩的地方。‎ ‎【1题详解】‎ 细节理解题。小标题“How much is the entrance fee?”下分别列出了私家非商务车入园的价格，摩托车或雪地车（冬季）入园的价格以及16岁以上的人步行、骑自行车或带滑雪板入园的价格，没有涉及到商务车入园的价格。故选B。‎ ‎【2题详解】‎ 推理判断题。文中提及“Inside Yellowstone, you can choose to stay in modern or historic hotels and cabins inside the park like the Old Faithful Inn, the world’s largest ‎ log structure.（在黄石公园里边，你可以呆在像the Old Faithful Inn这样的旅馆里，有现代的、历史的旅馆和小棚屋。）”，由其中的historic及morden可知，我们有可能从这些建筑中了解公园的起源。故选C。‎ ‎【3题详解】‎ 推理判断题。文章主要介绍黄石公园的门票及游玩住宿的地方，并且主要是提供给大家一些信息，所以应出自于与旅游指南。A. A magazine.杂志；B. A textbook. 教科书；C. A notice.通知；D. A travel guide.旅游指南。故选D。‎ ‎【点睛】像本题中第二题这样的推理判断题，我们可以采用正面的逻辑推理的办法解题，也可以采用细节排除法解题。例如我们可以在文中找到Unique old west experiences在“Staying outside the park”；“Primitive pit toilets and shower”在“12 campgrounds”；RV camping也不在the Old Faithful Inn里，故选C。同学们学会随机应变，推断的逻辑关系不是很明显或者不确定时，可以考虑排除法。‎ B I was in the seventh grade, and we had moved to New Jersey in November. By then, everyone already had had their own friends, and no one wanted to talk to a new girl. To make things worse, they put me in “Section L”. I found out later that everyone called Section L “Loserville”. It was sort of an open secret that it was the section for troublemakers and not-so-smart kids. When I found out, I wanted to scream. I had always been a good student and had amazing friends, and now everyone thought I was a loser!‎ I did text my friends in Illinois almost every night, especially my best friend, Ana. At first my friends wanted to hear all about it. But then some stopped texting back once I said something about how miserable I was. One night when I was texting with Ana, I complained about another friend who had just done that.‎ Ana’s texts came really fast for the next few minutes and they surprised me. She said that she was tired of hearing about how bad everything was in New Jersey, too. She said she did not want to hurt my feelings but that I needed to stop feeling so sorry for myself all the time, I had to try to make things better.‎ The next day, I thought a lot about what Ana had said. She was right!‎ I wish I could say that everything changed overnight after that, but it didn’t.‎ ‎ I was still stuck in “Loserville”, and some people were still mean to me, even though I tried to just stay out of their way.‎ But what did change was me—I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making friends. I signed up to make sets for the school play. I met a lot of new people there, and suddenly I had friends to say hi to in the halls!‎ I still miss Illinois sometimes, but life in New Jersey isn’t so hard anymore. Even though I couldn’t change my situation, I could change my attitude—and that made all the difference.‎ ‎4. “Loserville” is a section for ________.‎ A. failures B. good students C. class secrets D. newcomers ‎5. The writer complained all the time in the new environment because ________.‎ A. Ana didn’t text back to her B. her friends hurt her feelings C. she was unfairly treated D. she was a good student ‎6. What made a difference in changing the situation?‎ A. She went back to Illinois.‎ B. She ended friendship with Ana.‎ C. She fought back with her classmates.‎ D. She began to make friends with others.‎ ‎7. The best title for the passage can be ________.‎ A. Lasting Friendship B. An Incidence at School C Say Goodbye to “Loserville” D. Unhappiness in “Loserville”‎ ‎【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文阅读。文章主要讲了作者在上七年级的时候，搬到了新泽西。在那里的学校，作者被放到了代表“失败者”的“Loserville”区，受到了不公平地对待，作者尽自己最大的努力，想要告别 “Loserville”。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 推理判断题。答案定位在第一段It was sort of an open secret that it was the section for troublemakers and not-so-smart kids.（这是一个公开的秘密，这是一个闹事者和不太聪明的孩子的区域。）和I had always been a good student and had amazing friends, and now everyone thought I was a loser!（一直是个好学生，有很棒的朋友，现在每个人都认为我是个失败者!）由此推断出“Loserville”是一个失败者待着的地方，故选A。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 细节理解题。答案定位在第二段But then some stopped texting back once I said something about how miserable I was.（但当我说我有多痛苦时，有些人就不再回我的短信了。）由此可知作者在新环境中一直抱怨，因为她受到不公平的待遇，故选C。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 细节理解题。答案定位在倒数第二段But what did change was me—I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making friends.（但真正改变我的是我自己——我不再为自己感到难过，而是做了一些关于交朋友的事情。）由此可知她开始和别人交朋友，改变了情况，故选D。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。这篇文章主要讲了作者在上七年级的时候，搬到了新泽西。在那里的学校，作者被放到了代表“失败者”的“Loserville”区，受到了不公平地对待，作者尽自己最大的努力，想要告别 “Loserville”。所以这篇文章最好的题目是《和“Loserville”说再见》，故选C。‎ ‎【点睛】细节理解题的解题思路：‎ 细节理解题就是我们常见的wh-题，它们大多是根据文章中的具体信息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述等进行提问的。抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键，也是做好其它类型问题的基础。该题型几乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息，或是其变体。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节，做这类题一般采用寻读法，即先读题，然后带着问题快速阅读短文，找出与问题和选项有关的词语或句子，再对相关部分进行分析对比，找出答案。例如小题3，答案定位在倒数第二段But what did change was me—I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and did something about making friends.（但真正改变我的是我自己——我不再为自己感到难过，而是做了一些关于交朋友的事情。）由此可知她开始和别人交朋友，改变了情况，故选D。‎ C Most of us have looked up at the stars that fill the night sky and wondered whether we’re alone in the universe. Indeed, the question of whether there’ s life out there has been something humankind ’s been asking itself for countless years. But thanks to China’s Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST), the answer to this question may come a lot sooner than we expected.‎ The telescope has a huge round reflector, which measures 500 meters across and has a perimeter（周长）of 1.6 kilometers. Because of its great size, it would have been both difficult and inefficient to get FAST to move like a regular telescope. Instead, FAST’s designers came up with a great solution: its surface is made up of 4450 panels which can be individually adjusted. This clever design feature allows scientists to detect radio signals from any angle with a great degree of accuracy. “Panels can change their positions through connected wires and parallel （关联的） robots. We can control their position with an accuracy of 1 mm,” Zheng Yuanpeng, chief engineer of the telescope’s panel project, told Xinhua News Agency.‎ FAST’s engineers also had the task of finding a suitable location. As any interference would affect its ability to detect distant radio waves, it needed to be built in a remote area. Luckily, the perfect spot was found in the beautiful mountains of Guizhou Province. “There are three hills about 500 meters away from one another, creating a valley that is perfect to support the telescope," Sun Caihong, chief engineer of FAST’ s construction, told Xinhua.‎ And although it wasn’t yet fully operated, FAST had already made great discoveries by October 2017. Since 1967, only around 2000 pulsars （脉冲星） have been discovered, yet FAST had detected six more by October 2017. Once FAST is fully up and running, we may finally have the answer to one of the biggest questions in history.‎ ‎8. What is the purpose of mentioning the question in Paragraph 1?‎ A. To introduce the new giant telescope.‎ B. To explain why there is life in universe.‎ C. To remind readers to think about the life in space.‎ D. To emphasize the question that should be answered.‎ ‎9. What can we know from Paragraph 2?‎ A. The telescope is made up of many panels.‎ B. The area of FAST is about 800 square kilometers.‎ C. The engineer can handle FAST’s position accurately.‎ D. The individual panel helps scientists catch radio signals.‎ ‎10. Why was FAST built in Guizhou?‎ A. Because Guizhou is a remote province.‎ B. Because Guizhou has an ideal valley.‎ C. Because Guizhou has beautiful mountains.‎ D. Because Guizhou has the ability to build it.‎ ‎11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?‎ A. FAST’s timeline. B. FAST’s future.‎ C. FAST’s operation. D. FAST’s discoveries.‎ ‎【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国500米口径球面射电望远镜，它的设计原理、选址以及发展前景等多方面的信息。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 推理判断题。文章第一段通过提出问题，再引出答案，在引出答案的同时引出了本文要介绍的我国500米口径球面射电望远镜。所以第一段提出问题的目的是引出本文的介绍对象。这也是说明文常见的写作手法。故选A。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 推理判断题。由文中的“its surface is made up of 4450 panels which can be individually adjusted. This clever design feature allows scientists to detect radio signals from any angle with a great degree of accuracy.（它的表面由4500片可独立调节的金属板组成。这种聪明的设计可以让科学家从不同的角度精确的探测到无线电信号。）”可推知，这些金属板能帮助科学家捕捉无线电信号。故选D。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 推理判断题。由文章第三段中的“There are three hills about 500 meters away from one ‎ another, creating a valley that is perfect to support the telescope（这儿有三座间距500米左右的山，是安置望远镜的绝佳的山谷）”可知，望远镜之所以安置在贵州，是因为贵州有一个很好的山谷。故选B。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。由最后一段的首句“And although it wasn’t yet fully operated, FAST had already made great discoveries by October 2017.（虽然还没有完全运转起来，到2017年10月FAST已经有了重大发现）”可知，这一段讲述FAST的重大发现。并且其后几句话也是来具体阐述FAST的重大发现的。故选D。‎ ‎【点睛】主旨大意题是篇章阅读一个主要的考查方式，段落大意题是其中一种考查形式。段落大意题的主旨主要是要确定好段落中心句。说明文中，段落中心句有可能是段落第一句话，如果第二句话有转折词的话，第二句话就是中心句。确定好中心句后再将中心句的中心词与答案对比，就可以得出答案。例如本题第四题，第四段首句就是含有转折关系词句子，所以主句就是段落中心句。其中的FAST及great discoveries就是关键词，据此我们就可以确定答案为D。所以要破解主旨大意题，同学们首先要学会确定段落主旨句。‎ D Shark attacks not only disturb beach activities, but can affect associated tourist industries. Shark nets are a common solution to preventing shark attacks on beaches, but they cause dangers to sea ecosystems.‎ Seeking a cost-effective way to monitor beach safety over large areas, we have developed a system called Shark Spotter. It combines artificial intelligence (AI), computing power, and drone (无人机) technology to identify and warn lifesavers to sharks near swimmers. The project is a cooperation between the University of Technology Sydney and The Ripper Group, which is pioneering the use of drones—called “Westpac Little Ripper Lifesavers”—in the search and rescue movement in Australia.‎ SharkSpotter can detect sharks and other potential threats using real-time aerial imagery. The system analyses video from a camera attached to a drone to monitor beaches for sharks, send warnings, and conduct rescues. Developed with techniques known as “deep learning”, the Shark Spotter system receives imagery from the drone camera and attempts to identify all objects in the scene. Once certain objects are detected, they are put into one of 16 categories: shark, whale, dolphin, rays, different types ‎ of boats, surfers, and swimmers.‎ If a shark is detected, Shark Spotter provides both a visual sign on the computer screen and an audible warning to the operator. The operator confirms the warning and sends text messages from the Shark Spotter system to the Surf Life Savers for further action. In an emergency, the drone is equipped with a lifesaving flotation pod (漂浮仓) together with an electronic shark repellent (驱逐装置) that can be dropped into the water in cases where swimmers are in severe trouble, trapped in a rip, or if there are sharks close by.‎ In January 2018, the Westpac Little Ripper Lifesavers was used to rescue two young swimmers caught in a rip at Lennox Head, NSW. The drone flew down the beach some 800 meters from the lifeguard station, and a lifesaving flotation pod was dropped from the drone. The complete rescue operation took 70 seconds.‎ We believe Shark Spotter is a win-win for both marine life and beachgoers. This unique technology combines dynamic video image processing AI and advanced drone technology to creatively deal with the global challenge of ensuring safe beaches, protecting environments, and promoting tourism.‎ ‎12. A Shark Spotter is ________.‎ A. a solution to monitor sharks B. an equipment to identify lifesavers C. a technology to prevent shark attacks D. a project to pioneer the use of drones ‎13. When a shark is spotted near a swimmer, the system will ________.‎ A. take timely action B. analyze the visual data C. classify the identified objects D. turn on “deep learning” mode ‎14. The example in the 5th paragraph shows us that the system is A. efficient in saving lives B. effective in detecting sharks C. smart in driving sharks away D. practical over the whole sea area ‎15. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of SharkSpotter?‎ A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic.‎ C. Negative. D. Objective.‎ ‎【答案】12. C 13. A 14. A 15. B ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种旨在防止鲨鱼袭击的技术Shark Spotter的工作原理以及重要意义。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 推理判断题。答案定位在第四段If a shark is detected, Shark Spotter provides both a visual sign on the computer screen and an audible warning to the operator. The operator confirms the warning and sends text messages from the Shark Spotter system to the Surf Life Savers for further action.（如果鲨鱼被发现，Shark Spotter会在电脑屏幕上显示视觉讯号，并向操作员发出听觉警告。操作员确认了警告，并从鲨鱼观测者系统向冲浪救生员发送短信，以便采取进一步行动。）由此推断出Shark Spotter是一种防止鲨鱼袭击的技术，故选C。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 推理判断题。答案定位在第四段In an emergency, the drone is equipped with a lifesaving flotation pod (漂浮仓) together with an electronic shark repellent (驱逐装置) that can be dropped into the water in cases where swimmers are in severe trouble, trapped in a rip, or if there are sharks close by.（在紧急情况下，无人机配备了一个救生浮选舱和一个电子防鲨器，当游泳者遇到严重麻烦、被困在裂口或附近有鲨鱼时，可以将防鲨器放入水中。）由此可知当在游泳者附近发现鲨鱼时，系统会及时采取行动，故选A。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 推理判断题。第五段In January 2018, the Westpac Little Ripper Lifesavers was used to rescue two young swimmers caught in a rip at Lennox Head, NSW. The drone flew down the beach some 800 meters from the lifeguard station, and a lifesaving flotation pod was dropped from the drone. The complete rescue operation took 70 seconds.（2018年1月，西太平洋小开创者救生员队(Westpac Little Ripper Lifesavers)被用来营救两名在新南威尔士州伦诺克斯海德(Lennox Head)被困的年轻游泳者。这架无人机从距离救生站800米的海滩上飞下来，一个救生浮筒从无人机上掉了下来。整个营救行动耗时70秒。）由此推断出第五段的例子告诉我们这个系统在拯救生命方面是有效的，故选A。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 推理判断题。答案定位在最后一段We believe Shark Spotter is a win-win for both marine life and beachgoers.（我们相信Shark Spotter对海洋生物和海滩游客来说都是双赢的。）由此推断出作者对Shark Spotter的未来持乐观的态度。A. Doubtful.怀疑的；B. Optimistic.乐观的；C. Negative.否定的；D. Objective.客观的，故选B。‎ ‎【点睛】通过对关键词，关键短语或者是关键的句子的把握是解决推理判断题的重要解题方法之一，它们往往隐藏着深层的意思。小题4，答案定位在最后一段We believe Shark Spotter is a win-win for both marine life and beachgoers.（我们相信Shark Spotter对海洋生物和海滩游客来说都是双赢的。）其中a win-win是关键词，由此推断出作者对Shark Spotter的未来持乐观的态度，故选B。‎ 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。‎ Try This at Home!‎ Are you looking for a new pastime that will create a balance between physical activity and relaxation?
