B.Eiffel Tower.‎ C.Statue of Liberty. D.Empire State Building.‎ 答案A 解析推理判断题。根据四个部分描述可知,帝国大厦未曾开放过;埃菲尔铁塔是最近才对公众开放的;自由女神像从1916年之后不再对公众开放,而迪斯尼乐园一直都是开放的。‎ ‎23.Which can be used to replace the underlined word “exclusive” in the last paragraph?‎ A.Attractive. B.Expensive.‎ C.Wonderful. D.Beautiful.‎ 答案B 解析词义猜测题。根据最后一部分可知,要想在迪斯尼乐园的高级餐厅吃饭,需要先交给俱乐部2.5万美元,外加1.2万美元的年费,所以在此吃饭消费很高。‎ B The sound that woke Damian Languell at 8:15 am was so loud that he assumed it came from inside his house.As he got up to investigate,he heard another sound,this one coming most definitely from outside.Looking out of his bedroom window,he spied a tree engulfed(淹没) in smoke about 500 yards away.A car was wrapped around the tree’s base,its engine on fire.‎ Grabbing buckets of water,Languell and his girlfriend ran to the crash site.The wreck looked worse up close.The car,a 1998 Buick,was split nearly in two,and the tree was where the driver’s seat ought to have been,as if planted there.No one should have survived this crash,and yet there was 16-year-old Quintin Thompson,his terrified face pressed against the driver’s side window,in visible ‎ pain.Languell tried putting out the fire with his buckets of water with no success.When the flames got into the front seats,he realized he had to get the boy out of there.‎ In an act that a police report described as showing “complete disregard for his own safety”, Languell opened the Buick’s back door and crawled in.Thompson was struggling to get free,Languell says.“That’s when I noticed how bad his legs were.” Using a pocketknife he’d had the foresight to bring with him,he sawed through Thompson’s seat belt.‎ Now that Thompson was free,Languell pulled him out a back window of the vehicle,then dragged the teen to safety before the entire car was engulfed in flames.‎ Although Thompson suffered multiple fractures(骨折) to his legs,spine,and face,a social media post described him as “looking great,smiling,and joking.” Languell thinks about that day often.“My heart goes out to Thompson.When you are that close to that level of hurt,you feel it so directly.”‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文讲述了Damian勇救因车祸被困的少年的故事。‎ ‎24.When Damian heard the big sound,　　 ‎ A.he called 911 immediately B.he stayed inside his house C.he woke up his girlfriend D.he got up to see what happened 答案D 解析 细节理解题。根据第一段内容的描述可知Damian被一声巨响惊醒,然后起床去窗边查看情况,故选D项。‎ ‎25.When Damian rushed to the crash site,　　　. ‎ A.the police had arrived B.the whole car was completely in flames C.Thompson was terrified and painful D.Thompson was smiling and joking 答案C 解析细节理解题。根据第二段中的“his terrified face pressed against the driver’s side window,in visible pain.”可知Damian赶到现场时,被困在车内的Thompson非常害怕、痛苦明显,故选C项。‎ ‎26.We can describe Thompson as 　　　. ‎ A.brave B.lucky C.simple-minded D.warm-hearted 答案B 解析推理判断题。根据第二段中的“No one should have survived this crash,and yet there was 16-year-old Quintin Thompson...”以及最后一段中的“looking great,smiling,and joking”可知车祸如此惨烈,Thompson却得以保住性命,可以说很幸运,故选B项。‎ ‎27.What played the most important role in Thompson’s survival?‎ A.His own bravery and persistence.‎ B.The several buckets of water.‎ C.The timely arrival of the police.‎ D.The pocketknife Damian carried with him.‎ 答案D 解析推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知Thompson被困车中,双腿受伤严重,幸亏Damian带了一把袖珍折刀,割断了安全带,将他拉了出来,随后车子就被大火吞没了,由此可以推断这把刀子起到了很重要的作用,故选D项。‎ C A new study establishes that environmental damage caused by corn production results in 4,300 premature deaths annually in the United States,representing cost of $39 billion.‎ The paper,published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Sustainability,presents how researchers have estimated for the first time the health damages caused by corn production using detailed information on pollution emissions,pollution transport by wind,and human exposure to increased air pollution levels.‎ The study also shows how the damage to human health of producing a litre(升) of corn differs from region to region and how,in some areas,the health damages of corn production are greater than its market price.‎ ‎“The deaths caused per litre in western corn belt states such as Minnesota,Iowa,and Nebraska tend to be lower than in eastern corn belt states such as Illinois,Indiana,and Ohio,” said lead researcher Jason Hill.‎ It’s important for farmers to have this information so that they can carry out practices that reduce the environmental influence of the crops they grow.Farmers can greatly improve the environmental profile of their corn by using precision agriculture tools and switching to fertilizers that have lower ammonia(氨)emissions.The study’s results also suggest potential benefits from improving nitrogen use efficiency,switching to crops requiring less fertilizer,and changing the location where corn is grown.‎ Aware that changes in practices can take time and planning,Hill suggests farmers could be offered motivation to switch to crops that demand less applied nitrogen while still offering market and nutritional benefits.‎ Hill said,“The number of deaths related to corn production could be reduced through these key strategies”.‎ ‎【语篇解读】研究表明美国玉米种植引起的污染导致每年的早逝人数增加。‎ ‎28.Which of the states has the lowest death rate caused by corn production?‎ ‎　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‎ A.Nebraska. B.Illinois.‎ C.Indiana. D.Ohio.‎ 答案A 解析细节理解题。根据第四段“The deaths caused per litre in western corn belt states such as Minnesota,Iowa,and Nebraska tend to be lower than in eastern corn belt states...”可知,位于西部玉米生产带上的城市中的死亡率要低于东部。‎ ‎29.Which of the following is not advised to do for farmers to reduce the environmental impact of corn?‎ A.Improve nitrogen use efficiency.‎ B.Plant crops with no fertilizer.‎ C.Change the corn’s location.‎ D.Using precision agriculture tools.‎ 答案B 解析细节理解题。根据第五段第三句可知,研究结果表明,农民需要转换到去种植需要较少化肥的作物。‎ ‎30.What is Jason Hill’s attitude to preventing deaths caused by corn production?‎ A.Indifferent. B.Optimistic.‎ C.Pessimistic. D.Neutral.‎ 答案B 解析推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The number of deaths related to corn production could be reduced through these key strategies.”可知,Hill认为通过这些关键的策略,和玉米生产相关的死亡数量会减少,所以态度是乐观的。‎ ‎31.In which part of a website will you find this text?‎ A.Health and lifestyle.‎ B.Art and design.‎ C.Science and environment.‎ D.Fashion and business.‎ 答案C 解析主旨大意题。根据文章讲述了玉米生产引起的污染对于死亡率的影响可知,本文内容出自“科学与环境”板块。‎ D Population data for European mountain birds have been for the first time combined in a recent study,with worrying results: the abundances of mountain-specialist birds has declined by as much as 10% in the 2000s.‎ Ecological communities in mountain areas include species not found in any other habitats.These species are also very susceptible to climate change,as global warming is reducing their liveable habitats.In principle,species may relocate further up the mountains,but closer to the top their habitat inevitably shrinks.‎ According to the new article,the abundance of European mountain birds has in fact declined in line with climate change projections.‎ The recently released study examined the population trends of 44 bird species in the 2000s in the mountain and fell regions of Fennoscandia,Great Britain,the Alps and the Iberian Peninsula.A decline was seen in 14 of the observed species,while eight of them saw significant increase.‎ ‎“On average,population decline among the species studied was 7% over the 13-year research period,making the situation of mountain birds distinctly worse compared to,for example,European forest birds,whose numbers did not change during the same period,” explains Aleksi Lehikoinen,an Academy of Finland research fellow at the Finnish Museum of Natural History Luomus (part of the University of Helsinki),who headed the study.‎ The situation is the direst for species that only inhabit mountain regions and are unable to live in other European environments.For these species,known as mountain specialists,the numbers dwindled by as much as 10% during the monitoring period.‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文介绍了生活在欧洲的山鸟的生存状况。这些山鸟对气候变化非常敏感,而日趋严重的温室效应破坏了它们原本的栖息地,而它们却又无法在更高的地方生存,所以数量越来越少。‎ ‎32.What can we get from the passage about European mountain birds?‎ A.They are newly found species.‎ B.They can be found at any place of the world.‎ C.The number of the birds has decreased greatly.‎ D.The number of the birds has increased greatly.‎ 答案C 解析细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知,这个令人担忧的结果就是山鸟的数量下降了。‎ ‎33.Why did the liveable habitats of the species reduce?‎ A.Air pollutions.‎ B.Global warming.‎ C.Human activities.‎ D.Competition with other species.‎ 答案B 解析细节理解题。根据第二段第二句内容可知,温室效应破坏了山鸟的栖息环境。‎ ‎34.Which one is TRUE according to a recently released study?‎ A.All 44 bird species decreased.‎ B.Only 8 of the species declined.‎ C.14 of the observed species declined.‎ D.There was no change in the number of the bird species.‎ 答案C 解析细节理解题。根据第四段第二句内容可知,在可观察的鸟当中有14种鸟的数量下降了。‎ ‎35.What does the word “direst” mean in the last paragraph?‎ A.Serious. B.Useful.‎ C.Suitable. D.Waterless.‎ 答案A 解析词义猜测题。根据第五段第一句和第六段第二句可知,这种mountain-specialist birds减少的比率要比一般鸟高,也就是情况更严重。‎ 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)‎ 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to Grow Organic Tomatoes in a Container Anyone who has seen tomatoes growing in a garden knows that they tend to be huge plants.　36　 So the first thing to do when considering growing tomatoes in a pot is to find a suitable variety. ‎ After you find the perfect plant,it is time to plant it.In general,plastic or fiberglass pots are best for growing tomatoes.They don’t dry out quickly.While tomatoes love heat,they don’t like being dry.　37　 Besides,tomatoes need to grow in a reasonably large pot.A pot must be 8 inches deep.That’ s the absolute minimum.A 12- or 16-inch pot is even better. ‎ Any good quality organic potting soil works for tomatoes.Don’t use soil dug directly from the garden.　38　 Compost-based soil,whether purchased or mixed from your special recipe,is nice.When planting the tomato,put some soil in the bottom of the pot and set the plant in.After you have the plant set at the proper level,fill in around it with soil.The soil should go up to about an inch below the rim of the pot to allow room for watering. ‎ ‎　39　 The best way to tell when to water is to stick your finger into the soil—if the first two inches are dry,it’s time to water. ‎ The trickiest thing about growing tomatoes in a pot is that they are heavy feeders.Every time you water,you wash nutrients out of the soil.So fertilize (施肥) regularly.Once a month is good.But every other week,applying the fertilizer at half-strength is better.　40　 ‎ A.It is too heavy for container gardens.‎ B.That’s why clay pots are popular.‎ C.Instead,use whatever soil you can get.‎ D.And dry soil can reduce fruit production.‎ E.This provides constant nutrients for the tomato plants.‎ F.They require people’s much work to stay manageable.‎ G.Tomatoes don’t like being dry,so water them regularly.‎ 答案36~40 FDAGE 第三部分　语言运用(共两节,满分30分)‎

more college students have no problem walking into a classroom and opening their laptops.Others may spend an entire study period with a smartphone in hand.Some people argue that the increasing use of technology can have many helpful effects on society.But a recent research suggests that using technology during class time may harm college students’ ability to remember and process the subject material.‎ Arnold Glass, a professor in Rutgers University in New Jersey, and a student researcher investigated the issue of divided student attention.The study involved 118 Rutgers students who were taking the same level college class.The students were permitted to use any electronic device during half of their daily class periods.During the other half, no one was allowed to use any technology.‎ The researchers found that the average daily quiz results showed no evidence of harmful effects from the use of technology.However, the average results of the larger tests and final exam showed that all the students performed poorly when they were permitted to use technology in the classroom.Glass argues that it shows the use of electronic devices in the classroom prevents students from processing information.When the students hear what the professor is saying, they might be buying things online or reading unrelated emails at the same time.And that, Glass says, makes it harder for the information to enter their long term memory.Even though the students know what the ‎ professor said at that time, they no longer remember it a week later because they missed the opportunity.‎ However, Lauren Margulieux, an assistant professor at Georgia State University in Atlanta argues that there are times when classroom use of technology is unavoidable.So, he says, educators need to consider that something other than technology is distracting students.‎ In fact, a special software program has been created.Students can use the program, which engages students more with the class material on their personal devices during a given class.It can also be used to observe student activity and prevent them from opening unrelated pages and programs.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 参考范文 A recent research
