DActive.解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段内容可知，死亡谷国家公园在今年10月份前两周降水量就达到了3英寸(约75毫米)。这些难得一见的雨水滋润了干旱的土地，也唤醒了沉睡多年的花种，使得千万朵野花在当地盛然绽放。故可推知，“dormant” 意为“休眠的，沉睡的”。答案：A3How many kinds of flowers in Death Valley are mentioned in the article?AFour. BFive.CSix. DSeven.解析：细节理解题。根据第三段和第四段的内容可知，其中数量最多、也最吸引游客的野花是沙漠黄金。死亡谷中还有其他较常见的野花，例如深紫色的钟穗花、沙漠五点花、沙地鬼魂和沙漠报春花。因此文中共提到了死亡谷的五种花。答案：B4If you go to the Death Valley to see flowers in June，you_.Ashould go to the south end of Death ValleyBcan see many flowers covering entire hillsidesCcan easily see the beauTIFul flowers without leaving your carDmight have to hike to the higher elevations解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知，如果想在6月份到死亡谷看花，需要徒步爬到海拔较高的地方才能看到。答案：DB(2017江西省百校联盟高三第一次联考试题)The best family vacation that I ever had was going on a road trip to Myrtle Beach.The trip was for 2 weeks during the March break from school.This trip was probably about 20 years ago so it was before the time of things like portable video games and being able to watch movies in the back seat.So to pass the many hours of travel my brother and I had to entertain ourselves and each other.My mum would set the back seat up so that it was our own little playroom.She would pack everything up so that we had a big level area to play in.We would play cards and board games.When it got to the point where we_were_at_each_others_throats we would be sent back to our own side of the seat and would be forced to either nap or read by ourselves until we could be friendly to each other again.I can remember us playing for quite some time when we turned the back seat into a spaceship and traveled around the earth.Another time we turned it into a kitchen and had a bakeoff (食品烘烤赛)But the thing that I remember the most and that gave us many hours of enjoyment was using each others faces as silly Plasticine (普莱斯蒂辛橡皮泥) and making funny faces.We would see how far we could stretch each others mouths open，see how thin we could make the others eye by pulling on it.We would keep going until one of us begged for mercy because we had to give our faces a rest.So while I can remember us having a great time on the beach，laughing a lot trying to put the tent up in the rain，what I remember the most of that trip and what always makes me smile the most is remembering the pain that our faces would be in after the trip.语篇解读本文为记叙文。作者回忆了小时候在没有电子游戏、不能在坐车时看电影的旅途中打发时间的方式。5What did the author do when traveling to Myrtle Beach?AWatch movies.BPlay video games.CHave fun with his brother.DPack things up to amuse himself.解析：考查细节理解。由第二段中的“to pass the many hours of travel my brother and I had to entertain ourselves and each other”可知答案。答案：C6What does the author mean by saying “we were at each others throats”？AWe were fighting with each other.BWe used up our skills.CWe were quite out of breath.DWe were about to fall asleep.解析：考查句意理解。下文的“.until we could be friendly to each other again”说明画线部分的意思应为“互相打斗，激烈争吵”。答案：A7What impressed the author most during the trip?APlaying cards and board games.BPulling each others faces and eyes.CHaving a cooking competition.DPlaying with silly Plasticine.解析：考查推理判断。由第四段中的“But the thing that I remember the most.hours of enjoyment was using each others faces.by pulling on it”可知，旅途中作者印象最深的是和弟弟彼此拉对方的脸或者眼来做鬼脸。答案：B8Which of the following titles would best suit the passage?AAn Unforgettable Family TravelBWhat Is the Most Meaningful JourneyCThe Good Old Days Never to Be ForgottenDHow to Kill Time while Traveling in the Past解析：考查主旨要义。结合文章内容看，本文主要谈论的是在没有便携式游戏机、不能在后座看电影的情况下，作者一家去旅游时，作者在途中消遣的方式，故D项作本文标题最佳。答案：DC(2016南昌二模)With New York City less than 100 miles north and WashingtonDC.，in the south，Philadelphia is often forgotten compared to its bigger neighbors.However，in many ways，visiting the US fifth largest city can be a great experience.Called the place where US democracy was born，on Nov.6，Philadelphia got another important title：the first UNESCO World Heritage City in the US.The city became a World Heritage City thanks to “the universal principles of freedom and democracy written down in the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution” both signed at Independence Hall，according to UNESCO.These documents “are greatly important to American history and have also had a big effect on lawmakers around the world”Despite its importance in history，Philadelphia is also known for a diverse and accepting culture.Its not called the “City of Brotherly Love” for nothing.Philadelphia is home to a huge number of ethnic neighborhoods and one of the largest gay communities in the US.In fact，one of the first gay rights protests in the country happened outside of Independence Hall.Its collection of public art is another thing that makes Philadelphia stand out.Graffiti art is sometimes paid for as the city tries to make Philadelphia a“museum without walls”As the US News website noted，“This is a great example of the citys wellknown grassroots culture”In recent years，Philadelphia has also become one of the US most exciting food cities.Travelers wont miss it.They believe no trip would be complete without tasting its soft pretzel (椒盐脆饼) and the famous cheesesteak sandwich.It is a large sandwich made with thin slices of steak and cheese.Whether youre looking for “historic sites，culture，and art scene，or delicious food”，Philadelphia wont disappoint you，said travel guide Lonely Planet.语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了美国费城的一些情况。9What made Philadelphia a World Heritage City?AThe delicious food.BThe historic sites and art scene.CThe birthplace of US democracy.DThe diverse and accepting culture.解析：细节理解题。根据第二段可知，因为费城是美国民主的诞生地，所以被评为世界遗产城市。答案：C10By saying “museum without walls” in Paragraph 5，the author means “_”Amuseum sets no limit for artBpublic art can be found everywhereCthe museum was built without wallsDthe citys grassroots culture is wellknown解析：推理判断题。根据第五段第一、二句可推知，作者提到“没有围墙的艺术馆”是因为费城里有大量的大众艺术，也就是涂鸦之类的画。答案：B11What does the underlined word “complete” in Paragraph 6 mean?AFinished. BHappy.CPerfect. DRegretful.解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句子中的“without tasting its soft pretzel (椒盐脆饼)and the famous cheesesteak sandwich”可知，如果来到费城，没有吃椒盐脆饼和著名的芝士牛肉三明治是不完美的。由此可知，画线词与perfect意思相近。答案：C12What can we learn about Philadelphia?AIt is a great city worth visiting.BIt is the first UNESCO World Heritage City.CThere are many famous museums in the city.DThere are more ethnic groups than other cities in the US.解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段可推知，费城是一个非常值得去旅游的地方。答案：AD(2017山东半岛联盟模拟)Exchange a glance with someone，and then look away.Do you realize that you have made a statement？Hold the glance for a second longer and you have made a different situation.There is a permissible time that you can hold a persons stare without being friendly，rude，or aggressive.If you are on a lift，what staretime are you permitted？To answer this question，consider what you typically do.You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no harm.Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction，you need to send out a signal telling others you want to be left alone.So you cut off eye contactwhat sociologist Erving Goffiman calls“a dimming (变暗) of the lights”You look down at the floor，at the indicator (指示) lights，anywhere but into another passengers eyes.Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on a lift，you will make the other person extremely uncomfortable，and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.If you hold eye contact for more than 3 seconds，what are you telling another person？Much depends on the person and the situation.For instance，a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner.They stare at each other for about 3 seconds at a time，and then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds，before letting their eyes meet again.But if one man gives another man a 3secondplus stare，he signals，“I know you”“I am interested in you” or “You look peculiar (奇怪) and I am curious about you”This type of stare often produces hostile (敌意的) feelings.语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文，主要讨论了眼神交流的意义。13If one is looked at by a stranger for too long，he tends to feel_.Adepressed BuneasyCcurious Damused解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“.a 3secondplus stare.This type of stare often produces hostile (敌意的) feelings.”可知，如果一个人盯着另一个人看得时间过长，这种注视通常会给人产生敌意的感觉，让人不舒服。答案：B14If you want to be left alone on a lift，the best thing to do is_.Ato look into another passengers eyesBto avoid eye contact with other passengersCto signal you dont mean to do harm to anyoneDto keep a distance from other passengers解析：细节理解题。本题问的是当你在电梯里不想与人有交流时，最好的方法是什么。根据第一段第八、九句可知，最好的方法就是避开和别人的眼神交流。答案：B15It can be inferred from the first paragraph that_.Aevery glance has its significanceBstaring at a person is an expression of interestCa stare longer than 3 seconds is unacceptableDa glance conveys more meaning than words解析：推理判断题。 第一段并未提及注视一个人是感兴趣这件事，故排除B项；文中只提到超过3秒钟的注视的含义不同，并没提到是不可接受的，且这属于第二段的内容，故排除C项；D项文中未提及，故排除。答案：A.七选五(2017青岛自主练习)Develop “Sales” SkillsYou may not take a job as a salesperson after graduation._1_ Thats
