Believe it or not, the dim lighting could actually help save your life in case of a plane emergency.‎ The dimmed lights before taking off the runway and landing are a flight precaution used to help passengers’ eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape. “Going from a brightly lit environment to one that’s completely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus and see the escape slide,” Alice Theriault, service director for Air Canada wrote in a press statement. “Since we need to have all the seconds on our side in the event of an emergency, dimming the lights is one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers.”‎ The phenomenon that your eyes see those strange speckles (小斑点) as your sight adjusts to a dark place after being in a light place is called dark adaptation. It normally takes our eyes about 20 to 30 seconds to see best in a dark room. The brighter the lights, the longer it takes for our eyes to adjust, which is why dimming the plane lights could shorten your “dark adaptation” time since you haven’t been sitting under fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯) all flight.‎ Not only does dimming lights add valuable time to the escape process, but it reduces the tension on your eyes if you need to look outside, or see the emergency lighting along the passage. “It helps keep you in the right direction.” Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential told The Telegraph. “It also makes it easier for flight attendants to assess any outside risks, such as fire ‎ or debris, that might affect an escape.” So next time a pilot dims the lights, just know it’s for your safety, even though it creates a gentle atmosphere for your takeoff into the sky.‎ ‎7. The lights are turned down before takeoff to help passengers_______.‎ A. escape in time of emergency B. take a short break C create a comfortable atmosphere D. enjoy themselves ‎8. Which of the following is True according to Paragragh 2 and 3?‎ A. Dimming lights is required when accidents happen.‎ B. Our eyes need some time to adapt to the change of light.‎ C. Speckles are caused by the use of dimmed lights.‎ D. It is required for pilots to turn off lights during the flight.‎ ‎9. What is the function of shortening “dark adaptation” time?‎ A. Slowing down the landing.‎ B. Adjusting the plane lights.‎ C. Keeping passengers calm.‎ D. Helping the crew judge outside risks.‎ ‎10. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. A tip to make air travel safer.‎ B. An emergency event happening on a plane.‎ C. An explanation of an airline safety measure.‎ D. A warning message from the pilot.‎ ‎【答案】7. A 8. B 9. D 10. C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍航空公司的安全措施。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章第二段The dimmed lights before taking off the runway and landing ‎ are a flight precaution used to help passengers’ eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape.可知，飞机起飞前灯光关掉，其目的是帮助乘客在紧急情况下逃生。故选A。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段中Going from a brightly lit environment to one that’s completely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus and see the escape slide可知，我们的眼睛需要一些时间来适应光的变化。故选B。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段It also makes it easier for flight attendants to assess any outside risks, such as fire or debris, that might affect an escape可知，缩短暗适应时间，可以帮助空乘人员评估外面的风险。故选D。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据文章大意：文章主要讲述了飞机起飞前都需要调暗灯光，而这一点能够在飞机紧急情况下帮助挽救你的生命，可知文章是航空公司安全措施的解释。故选C。‎ ‎【点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer,suggest,imply,conclude indicate等标志性词语。 这种题型主要包括细节判断题、态度观点推断题、写作意图推断题、文章出处判断题和猜测想象推断题。本题第2小题，根据第二段中Going from a brightly lit environment to one that’s completely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus and see the escape slide可知，我们的眼睛需要一些时间来适应光的变化。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。‎ Top Tips for Better Writing There are many different types of writing, such as essays, letters and speeches. Whatever your reason is and whatever your style, there are some universal tips that will help you improve your writing:‎ Be clear about your purpose The most basic question to ask yourself before you start is why you are writing. In an essay or assignment, your purpose is to convey information and draw conclusions. But if you are writing a business report, you may want to make recommendations(建议). ___11___‎ Start with a plan ‎___12___The result is often disjointed writing with parts that don’t connect. Whatever you are writing, creating a clear plan is the first step to getting your message across quickly and in the most effective way.‎ Guide readers through what you write Your task is to help readers understand your message quickly and precisely.______13______Each sentence, each paragraph should be relevant to what comes before and what comes after. You should use words and phrases that connect to show these connections.‎ ‎___14___‎ Your aim in writing is to communicate ideas and information to other people, and you must keep that in mind with every word and sentence you write. Constantly ask yourself who you really write the information for.‎ Write for the ear, not for the eye Once you’ve finished a draft of your speech, practice reading it out loud. _______15_______Revise so you are more comfortable giving your speech. You want to sound natural, no matter what the occasion is.‎ A. Write for readers, not yourself B. Write for the aim not for the words C. It sounds robotic, and employers hate it.‎ D. Far too often people write without a plan.‎ E. You’ll hear anything that sounds awkward.‎ F. Whatever it is, keep your purpose in mind at all times to avoid going off topic.‎ G. To do this, it is necessary to show them clearly how the different parts relate to each other.‎ ‎【答案】11. F 12. D ‎ ‎13. G 14. A ‎ ‎15. E ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。作者就如何提高写作水平，提出了几点可行的建议。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 由“The most basic question to ask yourself before you start is why you are writing. In an essay or assignment, your purpose is to convey information and draw conclusions. But if you are writing a business report, you may want to make recommendations”可知，开始写作前最基本的问题就是问问自己为何写作。写论文旨在传达信息、并得出结论。但如果你正在写一份商业报告，你可能想提出一些建议。所以以上列举了写作之前的目的是什么。故判断出小题1是对上述写作目的的总结。故F选项“不管是什么，时刻牢记你的写作目的，避免偏离主题。”符合句意。故F选项切题。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 由“The result is often disjointed writing with parts that don’t connect”可知，结果导致写作各部分不连贯。所以判断出小题2说的是原因，才导致了写作各部分不连贯。故D选项“人们写东西往往不拟提纲。”符合句意。故D选项切题。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 由“Each sentence, each paragraph should be relevant to what comes before and what comes after. You should use words and phrases that connect to show these connections.”可知，每个句子、每个段落都应与上下文有关。你应使用互相联系的单词和短语来衔接。所以判断出小题3要总说向读者清晰地展示各个部分如何衔接，然后再具体分说各个部分如何衔接和以什么来连接。故G选项“为此，有必要向读者清晰地展示各个部分如何衔接”。故G选项切题。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 由“Your aim in writing is to communicate ideas and information to other people, and you must keep that in mind with every word and sentence you write. Constantly ask yourself who you really write the information for.”可知，写作的目的是要向他人传递思想与信息，写一词一句你都要牢记这一点。不断地问自己，你真正为谁写信息。所以本段主要说的就是写作是给读者看而不是自己。所以判断小题4是本段的标题。故A 选项“写作是给读者看而不是自己”符合题意。故A选项切题。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 由“Revise so you are more comfortable giving your speech”可知，进行修改，演讲就会更顺畅。所以判断出小题5说的是在大声朗读时发生了什么样的情况，才导致下文的进行修改。故E选项“你会听出不适合的地方”符合题意。故E选项切题。‎ 第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节  完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ I don’t know why I came to the decision to become a loser, but I know I made the choice at a young age.

But all the same, I was learning.‎ When my father’s business failed, I was able to continue to attend one of the best bilingual(双语的）schools in Mexico City thanks to scholarship. Scholarship followed me into middle school and high school.‎ However, during my senior year in high school my family moved to my dad’s country, the United States. For the first time in my life, I had optional（可选择的） classes. So I decided to take psychology class. While I found the public school system to be a joke, I did find my psychology class attractive. My mother, in her dreams for my life, did not see psychology as a good choice, but I was like her, strong-willed to the subject.‎ I married young, even before I had a degree under my belt. Worst of all, I married a kid who wanted to be poster（牧师）. My mother loved Andy dearly but she would ask him occasionally, “ When will you have a real job?” I did finish my degree and I became a social worker, but when I had my first child at age 24, I quit my job. Then at 26, another baby girl joined our family. Unfortunately, this baby girl had Down syndrome（唐氏综合症）.‎ How would I be able to break the news to my mother? “ It is better to be smart than to be beautiful.” I knew what “smart” meant in the statement, and I doubted if my with an extra chromosome（染色体） would meet those expectations. My mom was coming to the hospital to meet her new grand-baby. I would tell her then. I needed time to gather my thoughts. I was afraid, afraid that she would see Nichole as one that would never be smart or beautiful.‎ 注意：‎ ‎1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；‎ ‎2. 应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；‎ ‎3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头已为你写好；‎ ‎4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Para 1:‎ My mother arrived at the hospital mid-morning, ready to meet her new granddaughter. ‎ Para 2:‎ Six years later, Nichole runs to mom whenever we see each other.‎ ‎【答案】Para 1:‎ My mother arrived at the hospital mid-morning, ready to meet her new granddaughter. I was at a loss because this baby girl had Down syndrome. I didn’t know how to meet my mother. I was afraid, afraid that she would see Nichole as one that would never be smart or beautiful. When I told her the truth , he didn’t say a word for a long time . I realized that she wouldn’t accept the baby. She always says that “ It is better to be smart than to be beautiful.” But I was wrong. At last she told me that I should face the reality bravely. We should support her new grand-baby well.‎ Para 2:‎ Six years later, Nichole runs to mom whenever we see each other. Every time my mother plays with her new grand-baby happily and buys some beautiful toys though the girl is suffering from serious disease .The girl gets on well with my mother .She never looks down upon her grand-baby who is in difficulty. In the hospital we didn’t abandon the disabled baby and decided to bring up her . Then we knew we chose a tough way but from then on we have never regretted for it. Instead, I think it was a right choice,I love my mother and we all love my children.‎ ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一篇续写。要求:所续写短文的词数应为150左右；应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头已为你写好；续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ ‎【详解】Para 1:第一段所给首句My mother arrived at the hospital mid-morning, ready to meet her new granddaughter.这一句是故事发展的转折点,新生儿有唐氏综合征,而自己还没有告诉妈妈,但妈妈已经来到医院,故事围绕“妈妈是否能接受这一事实”而展开。无论从何角度拓展，都需注意与续写第二段的首句相呼应。‎ Para 2:第二段首句，Six years later, Nichole runs to mom whenever we see each other.从这一句看，作者的妈妈也接受了这个外孙女，并相处的很好。接下来应该是，尽管孩子有病，作者选择了一条艰难的路，但不后悔，她很爱她的孩子。‎ ‎ ‎
