mountaineers from 38 Nepali and foreign teams have taken the permits for expedition this year.‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了中国残疾登山家夏伯渝不畏艰难、多次尝试,终于在70岁成功登顶珠穆朗玛峰的故事。‎ ‎24.Xia Boyu lost his legs in 1975 because 　　　. ‎

Lied’s Potato: A Tale from the Great Depression.At first glance,this book looks to be for the very young.Indeed,it can be,with its emphasis(重点)on short sentences and many pictures.But older kids and adults will reward themselves by reading this book as well,to learn more about the Great Depression and about economics,history,and even American culture in more depth.‎ The story is of a young girl named Dorothy,whose family lives in Iowa during the 1930s.Dorothy’s father loses one job after another;they lose their house;and,in desperation,they travel to Idaho to pick potatoes.‎ The author and illustrator(插画师)(Lisa Campbell Ernst)do a good job of conveying the desperation and discouraging and frightening tasks facing America’s families during the Depression.Hunger and want were plentiful,money and jobs were not.Inflation(通货膨胀)was out of control,and so was despair.But rather than give up,Dorothy’s family took action,traveling to Idaho to pick potatoes.Now,this might not sound like a smart thing to do;but at that time,Idaho had plenty of potatoes.The family worked very hard,day and night,and picked enough potatoes to fill the car for the trip home,where they traded those potatoes for other kinds of food and even a pig.This shows a basic economics concept: barter(物物交换).Potatoes were traded for other kinds of food instead of money.‎ The author also intends for readers of this book to learn more about the Great Depression.Dorothy’s family was very lucky,having enough money to pay for the trip to Idaho and back.In the end,Dorothy’s father found work and moved the family out of the poor Midwest.But a great many other Depression-era families were not so lucky.Many people died of hunger and thirst,and many more were poor beyond belief.Yes,we can be happy that Dorothy and her family have a happy ending that they can be thankful for;and yes,we can be sure that they were counting their blessings or lucky stars.But we can also be aware of the greater overall picture of the history of America at this time,realizing that it was a difficult time for just about everyone involved,in one way or another.‎ Overall,this is a good book that delivers more than it would appear to promise on first glance.‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文介绍了即将出版的一本新书,作者在文中介绍了这本书的大体内容并对这本书进行了简要评价。‎ ‎28.What’s the passage mainly about?‎ A.It introduces a new book.‎ B.It describes the Great Depression.‎ C.It introduces a young girl named Dorothy.‎ D.It describes American economics,history,and culture.‎ 答案A 解析主旨大意题。第一段为本文的主题段,通过第一段可知,本文介绍的是即将出版的一本新书。故选A项。‎ ‎29.What was the purpose of Dorothy’s family travelling to Idaho?‎ A.To look for jobs in Idaho.‎ B.To pick potatoes to trade for food.‎ C.To plant potatoes to change their situation.‎ D.To buy potatoes and sell them to make money.‎ 答案B 解析细节理解题。通过第二段最后一句可知,本书的主人公Dorothy的父亲在屡次失业后,全家人不得已到Idaho去捡土豆。又根据第三段倒数第三句可知,这家人非常努力,捡了足够的土豆后用车拉回家,换取其他食物甚至换了一头猪。故选B项。‎ ‎30.What may be the reason why Dorothy’s family used barter in trade?‎ A.Too many potatoes in Idaho.‎ B.The desperation Dorothy’s family faced.‎ C.Serious inflation and no enough money.‎ D.The long-existing trading habit in America.‎ 答案C 解析推理判断题。根据第三段可知,在当时经济大萧条时期,很多人挨饿,他们的基本生活需求无法得到满足,人们缺钱,找不到工作,因为通货膨胀已失控了。由此可推知,Dorothy一家用物物交换的方式与别人做交易是因为通货膨胀严重。故选C项。‎ ‎31.Why does the writer say Dorothy’s family was very lucky in the 4th paragraph?‎ A.Dorothy’s father found work in Midwest.‎ B.God blessed the family and they survived.‎ C.The family could afford the trip to Idaho and back.‎ D.The family learned more about the Great Depression.‎ 答案C 解析推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第二句可知,Dorothy一家是非常幸运的,因为他们还能有足够的钱来支付去Idaho往返的费用。故选C项。‎ D Cold weather during winter months may keep many people from leaving home and running in the open air.‎ However,a new study shows that the drop in temperature is a good reason to run.In fact,researchers say,running in cold weather helps improve one’s performance.‎ Many people say running in the winter can be difficult.Two reasons are the low temperatures and bitter winds.Yet many runners might find it easier than running in hot weather.‎ That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body.When you run in cold weather,your heart rate and the body’s dehydration (脱水)levels are lower than in warmer conditions.The body needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather.‎ This information comes from sports scientists at St.Mary’s University in London.John Brewer is a professor of applied sport science at St.Mary’s.‎ For this study,he and other researchers put a group of people into a room they called an “environmental chamber”. The researchers then recreated summer and winter weather conditions in the room.The test subjects were asked to run 10,000 meters under both conditions.Brewer says he and his team recorded biological measurements of the runners.‎ ‎“We’ve got a group of subjects into the environmental chamber.We’ve changed the conditions to replicate the summer or winter and we’ve got them to run a 10km under both of those conditions and taken various measurements on each runner while they’ve been completing their 10km.”‎ Brewer says every movement runners make produces heat.He explains that one way in which we lose heat is by sweating.The body loses heat through droplets of sweat.He says the body also loses heat by transporting the blood to the surface of the skin.‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。寒冷的天气会让很多人不再跑步,研究人员通过研究发现在寒冷的冬天跑步要比夏天更能够提高人们的身体机能。文章对此项研究做了详细说明。‎ ‎32.What can we know about running in winter?‎ A.It increases pressure of the body.‎ B.It improves the function of body.‎ C.It makes your heart rate higher.‎ D.It needs more water than in summer.‎ 答案B 解析细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“In fact,researchers say,running in cold weather helps improve one’s performance.”可知,在寒冷的天气里跑步可以提高人们的表现,故B项正确。‎ ‎33.What can we know about the research according to the text?‎ A.Researchers interviewed the subjects.‎ B.Subjects were asked to run in winter and summer.‎ C.Subjects built the “environmental chamber”.‎ D.Biological measurements of the runners were recorded.‎ 答案D 解析细节理解题。根据第六段最后一句“Brewer says he and his team recorded biological measurements of the runners.”可知研究人员要求测试对象跑了10千米以后,对他们的生理指标进行了记录。故D项正确。‎ ‎34.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “replicate” in Paragraph 7?‎ A.Combine.‎ B.Remember.‎ C.Copy.‎ D.Decorate.‎ 答案C 解析词义猜测题。根据本段第一句“We’ve got a group of subjects into the environmental chamber.”可知,研究人员把所有的测试对象都安排在一个环境里,然后改变这一环境里的气候条件来模仿夏天和冬天的气候,再让测试对象跑10千米以后记录他们的数据。所以“replicate”意为“copy”,故选C项。‎ ‎35.What’s the best title for the passage?‎ A.Environmental Chamber B.The Way of Losing Heat C.Running in Cold Weather Improves Performance D.Biological Measurements of the Runners 答案C 解析主旨大意题。本文是一篇说明文。寒冷的天气会让很多人不再跑步,研究人员通过研究发现在寒冷的冬天跑步要比夏天更能够提高人们的身体机能。文章对此项研究做了详细说明。C项与文章主旨一致,A、B、D三项都只涉及部分内容。故选C项。‎ 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。‎ Teach Yourself

‎【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。主要记叙了张田在贵州省一所乡村学校作志愿教师的经历,他为学校介绍了更多的科目,除了教学,张田还联系慈善组织寻求帮助,教村民如何在网上销售当地的产品。他对这个村庄的贡献是如此之大,以至于村民们把他当作他们中的一员。‎ ‎56.an　考查冠词。句意:支教对张田来说是一次相当丰富的经历。experience表示“经历”,为可数名词,此处泛指“一次经历”,应用不定冠词,且experience为元音音素开头的单词,故应用不定冠词an。‎ ‎57.inspired　考查非谓语动词。句意:受离家独立生活的启发,他成了贵州省一所乡村学校的志愿教师。本句中inspire作非谓语动词,与逻辑主语he构成被动关系,故用过去分词。故填inspired。‎ ‎58.smaller　考查比较级。句意:这所学校只有三间教室,比他预想的要小得多。结合下文“than he had expected”可知应用形容词比较级,故填smaller。‎ ‎59.to　考查固定句式。句意:他花了很长时间才适应那里的生活。‎ ‎60.leaving　考查非谓语动词。句意:离开的念头曾经闪过他的脑海,但他很快就放弃了,并找到了应对挑战的方法。of为介词后跟动词-ing形式作宾语,故填leaving。‎ ‎61.To make　考查非谓语动词。句意:为了让学生的学校生活更加丰富多彩,张田为学校介绍了更多的科目。本句中make作非谓语动词,表目的,应用不定式,故填To make。‎ ‎62.What　考查连词。句意:最令他满意的是,他的学生能读、说、写英语,而且他们能自信地学习这门语言。此处为主语从句,且从句中缺少主语,指代事情,故填What。‎ ‎63.confidently　考查副词。learn为动词需用副词修饰,故填confidently。‎ ‎64.taught　考查动词时态。本空与上文“Zhang Tian also contacted”构成并列谓语,故应用一般过去时。故填taught。‎ ‎65.contribution　考查名词。根据上文The可知应填名词,表示“贡献”,故填contribution。‎

having bright fires in winter,she had nothing to burn but dry sticks,which George picked up from under the trees.‎ One fine day in July,his sick mother sent him to the woods.He was to stay there all day,to get as much wood as he could collect.‎ It was a bright,sunny day,and George worked very hard,so by the time the sun was high,he was hot,and wished for a cool place where he might rest and have his meal.While he hunted for a spot on the bank he saw among the grass some fine,wild strawberries.‎ ‎ “How good these will be with my bread and butter!” thought George.Lining his cap with leaves,he set to work eagerly to gather all he could find,and then seated himself by the river.‎ It was a pleasant place,and George felt happy and contented.He thought how much his sick mother would like to see him there,and to be there herself,instead of in her dark room in the village.‎ George thought of all this,and just as he was lifting the first strawberry to his mouth,he said to himself,“How much Mum would like these!” So he stopped,and put the strawberry back again.‎ ‎“Shall I save them for her?” he said,thinking how much they would refresh her,yet still looking at them with a longing eye.‎ ‎“I will eat half,and take the other half to her,” he said at last,and he divided them into two heaps(堆).But each heap looked so small that he put them together again.‎ ‎“I will only taste one,” he thought.As he again lifted it to his mouth,he saw that he had taken the finest and he put it back.“I will keep them all for her,” he said with great happiness,and he covered them up nicely to take them home.‎ Paragraph 1:‎ He stood up and started to get more and more wood until the sun was beginning to sink. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Paragraph 2:‎ Just as he had thrown down his wood,he heard his mother calling him from the next room. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 参考范文 Paragraph 1:‎ He stood up and started to get more and more wood until the sun was beginning to sink.George set out for home.He carried his cap filled with strawberries very carefully.How happy he felt then!He had all his strawberries for his sick mother.The nearer he came to his home,the less he wished to taste them.He arrived home before he knew it.‎ Paragraph 2:‎ Just as he had thrown down his wood,he heard his mother calling him from the next room.“Is that you,George?I am glad you have come,for I am thirsty and I’m longing for some tea.Could you get some for me?” George ran to her and joyfully offered her all the wild strawberries.Seeing the wild strawberries,George’s mother was very glad,tears running down her face.She said,“My boy,you didn’t taste one of the strawberries and saved all for your sick mother.God will bless you for all this,my child.” At that moment,George and his mother were both filled with happiness.‎
