Created as a platform for documentaries and fiction works, the programming offers an up-close look at Mexican society as seen through the eyes of a new generation of filmmakers. Fashionable bars and sidewalk cafes are buzzing with activity around the main square, where crowds gather nightly for open-air screenings and other cultural events.Day of the DeadEach year on November 1st and 2nd, Mexico turns its thoughts to the departed during the Day of the Dead festivities, a colorful tradition deeply rooted in native culture. For Mexicans, death is more a cause for celebration than mourning, and that spirit has been kept very much alive in Ptzcuaro, the Da de Muertos mecca. Prepare yourself to battle large crowds of the living.Carnival in Veracruz &MazatlnMexico hosts many carnival celebrations every year featuring exciting parades, dance performances, live music and of course, big-time partying. The nine-day event in Veracruz, Mexicos biggest carnival, usually kicks off in March, right around the same time when festivities get started on the Pacific coast in Mazatln. You can shake your body with salsa music in Veracruz or the brass band sounds of Mazatln.La MorismaAn all-out war erupts on the streets of colonial Zacatecas, usually around late August. OK, well, its actually a mock battle with well over 2,000 participants re-enacting battles between the Christians and Moors in old Spain. The faux（假的）soldiers attack one another while accompanied on the streets by bands of musicians.1. How do the Mexicans feel when the Day of the Dead comes?A. Calm. B. Anxiod.C. Scared. D. Happy.2. What can people enjoy in both Carnival in Veracruz &Mazatln and La Morisma?A. Exciting parades. B. Dance performances.C. Live music. D. A mock battle.3. What is the purpose of the text?A. To tell something about a Nobel Prize-winning writer.B. To introduce some famous Mexican festivals.C. To advise readers to join in the Mexican events.D. To criticize the bad customs of Mexican festivals.【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B【解析】【分析】本文为说明文，文章主要介绍了墨西哥的四个节日。【1题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第三段For Mexicans, death is more a cause for celebration than mourning, and that spirit has been kept very much alive in Ptzcuaro, the Da de Muertos mecca.可知对墨西哥人来说，死亡更值得庆祝，而不是哀悼，所以在过亡灵节时人们是开心的，所以D正确。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据文章的第四段Mexico hosts many carnival celebrations every year featuring exciting parades, dance performances, live music and of course, big-time partying.以及第五段The faux（假的）soldiers attack one another while accompanied on the streets by bands of musicians.可知Carnival in Veracruz &Mazatln 和 La Morisma的共同之处是都有现场音乐， 所以C正确。【3题详解】写作目的题。根据文章第一段Here are several events that would have made him proud.以及接下来的四段内容的介绍可知是介绍墨西哥的节日的，所以B正确。【点睛】根据不同文体，推断目的意图。不同的文章可能有不同的写作目的, 通常作者的写作目的有以下三种：1) to entertain readers（娱乐读者，让人发笑），常见于故事类的文章。2) to persuade readers（说服读者接受某种观点）常见于广告类的文章。3) to inform readers（告知读者某些信息）多见于科普类新闻报道类文化类或社会类的文章。高考阅读试题设计到各类文章，而以议论文为主，文章的主题句、核心句往往会直接或间接地表明作者的态度立场；阅读理解中也有说明文、描述文。前者因为其体裁的客观性，所以作者的态度也往往采取中立。而后者因为其文章观点往往不直接提出，而且作者写作时也常带有某种倾向性，所以，阅读时要善于根据文章的文体来学会推断作者的情感态度和目的。本题的第三小题为写作目的题。而本文为文化类社会类的文章，主要介绍了墨西哥的四个节日，所以写作目的是告知读者一些信息，所以是B选项To introduce some famous Mexican festivals。BOne day a professor entered the classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test. They waited anxiously at their desks for the test to begin. The professor handed out the question paper, with the text facing down as usual. Once he handed them all out, he asked his students to turn the page and begin. To everyones surprise, there were no questions but a black dot in the center of the page. The professor seeing the expression on everyone face, told them the following, “I want you to write what you see there.”The students were confused and got started on the inexplicable (令人不解的) task.At the end of the class the professor took all the answer papers and started reading each one of them aloud in front of all the students. All of them with no exceptions, described the black dot, explained its position in the middle of the sheet, imagined what the black dot stood for and so on.After all had been read, the classroom was silent. The professor began to explain, “I am not going to grade on you this time. I just wanted to give you something to think about. No one wrote about the white part of the paper. Everyone focused on the black dot and the same happens in our lives. We have a white paper to observe and enjoy, but we always focus on the dark spots. Our life is filled with love and care, and we always have reasons to celebratenature renewing itself every day, our friends around us, the job that provides our livelihood, the miracles we see every day”In fact, we insist on focusing only on the dark spotsthe health issues that bother us, the lack of money, the complicated relationship with a family member, the disappointment with a friend, etc. Take your eyes away from the black spots in your life. The dark spots are very small compared to everything we have in our lives, so enjoy each moment that life gives you.4. Why did the students feel confused about the test?A. The professor didnt ask them to prepare for the test.B. There was totally nothing on the question paper.C. It was too hard for them to answer the questions.D. They hadnt seen such an unusual question paper before.5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned on the students answer papers?A. The meaning of the black dot.B. The description of the black dot.C. The white part of the paper.D. The position of the black dot.6. What is the professors purpose in giving this test?A. To show the students how hard the life is.B. To remind the students of the joys in life.C. To let the students know their shortcomings.D. To encourage the students to study harder.7. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. Dont pay attention to the hardship in life.B. Remove the black spots out of our life.C. Dont focus on others faults but yours.D. Remember you cant see all the things in life.【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A【解析】【分析】本文主要讲述了教授通过让学生们做一份特殊的试卷而给学生们上了一堂生动的哲理课：不要太关注人生的不完美，要好好享受我们所拥有的美好！【4题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第一段To everyones surprise, there were no questions but a black dot in the center of the page. The professor seeing the expression on everyone face, told them the following, “I want you to write what you see there.”可知这次测试题目中没有问题，与众不同，所以学生十分困惑，所以D正确。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段All of them with no exceptions, described the black dot, explained its position in the middle of the sheet, imagined what the black dot stood for and so on.可知学生们没有提到纸的白色的部分。所以C项正确。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第四段教授的话We have a white paper to observe and enjoy, but we always focus on the dark spots. Our life is filled with love and care,可知他想提醒学生关注生活中的美好与快乐，所以B正确。【7题详解】猜测句义题。根据前句破折号后的内容解释了什么是black spots，即the health issues that bother us, the lack of money, the complicated relationship with a family member, the disappointment with a friend, 再根据本句内容Take your eyes away from the black spots in your life.指的是让自己的注意远离这些black spots，所以是建议人们不要只关注人生中的苦难。所以A正确。【点睛】猜测句意主要的解题策略有：语境猜测、语法猜词和常识猜词。语境既上下文。由于上下文中的生词不是孤立存在的，其词义与句中其它词的词义或具体的语境有着密切的联系。因此在阅读过程中，许多生词或句子的意思是可以充分利用上下文中相关的词汇，短语并结合具体的语境来推测。如本题的第四小题为句意猜测。首先根据破折号后的内容明确了black spots是指the health issues that bother us, the lack of money, the complicated relationship with a family member, the disappointment with a friend，根据这些内容可以断定black spots 是指人生中的一些苦难，再根据Take your eyes away from the black spots in your life中take away from 是移开视线，所以是建议人们不要只关注人生中的苦难。所以A正确。COne of the questions surrounding climate change is how it might affect the food supply for a growing global population. A new study suggests that researchers have been overlooking how two key human responses to climatehow much land people choose to farm, and the number of crops they plantwill affect food production in the future. The new study focused on the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso, an emerging（新兴的）global breadbasket（产粮地区）that as of 2013 supplied 10 percent of the worlds soybeans. The researchers used variations in temperature and precipitation（降水）across the state over an eight-year period to estimate the sensitivity of the regions agricultural production to climate change. Those historical comparisons can help in making predictions about the sensitivity of agriculture to future climate change.The study found that, if the patterns from 2002 to 2008 hold in the future, an increase in average temperature in Mato Grosso of just 1 degree will lead to a 9 to 13 percent reduction in overall production of soy and corn. “This is worrisome given that the temperature in the study region is predicted to rise by 2 degrees by 2050,” said Avery Cohn, who led the study.Most studies of this kind look only at the extent to which climate shocks affect crop output. But researchers can miss critical dynamics（动力）that can affect overall output, says Leah VanWey, one of the studys senior authors. “If you look at output alone, youre not looking at all of the information because there are economic and social changes going on as well,” said VanWey.If output decreases, farmers may put less land area into production because its not profitable. Farmers may also vary the number of crops they plant in a growing season. Double cropping is common in Mato Grosso. But if the weather is bad, farmers may change their decision to plant a second crop.8. The value of the new study lies in _.A. increasing the number of crops people plantB. focusing on an emerging global breadbasketC. making predictions about human responses to climate changeD. controlling peoples choice of their farming area and crop numbers9. According to Avery Cohn, by 2050, the overall production of soy and corn will _.A. remain almost unchanged B. decrease by more than 9%C. increase by from 9% to 13% D. decrease by more than 18%10. What can we know about the similar studies mentioned in paragraph 3?A. They cant provide exact information to farmers.B. They dont take into consideration some key factors.C. Their discouraging results largely affect overall crop output.D. They pay too much attention to economic and social changes.11. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. Farmers possible reactions to climate shocks.B. Possible climate change in Mato Grosso.C. The benefits of double cropping in Mato Grosso.D. Farmers decision on planting crops in the future.【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A【解析】本文为说明文，文章主要讲述了气候变化对农业的影响可能被低估。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句Those historical comparisons can help in making predictions about the sensitivity of agriculture to future climate change.可知此研究的意义在于帮助预测农业对未来气候变化的敏感性，即人类对气候变化的反应，所以C正确。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段The study found that, if the patterns from 2002 to 2008 hold in the future, an increase in average temperature in Mato Grosso of just 1 degree will lead to a 9 to 13 percent reduction in overall production of soy and corn. 可知温度升高一度，导致大豆和玉米减产9%-13%。而根据“This is worrisome given that the temperature in the study region is predicted to rise by 2 degrees by 2050,可知道2050年会升高2度，因此，减产量会在18%-26%之间，所以D正确。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段But researchers can miss critical dynamics（动力）that can affect overall output, says Leah VanWey, one of the studys senior authors.可知之前的研究忽视了影响总产量的关键动力，所以B正确。【11题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段三个farmers may 可知此段介绍了如果气候变化，产量减少，农民们可能的反应，所以A正确。DIt is believed that some of animals think a great deal. Many of them are like children in their sports. Some birds are very lively in their sports; and the same is true with some insects. The ants, hardworking as they are, have their times for play. They run races; they wrestle; and sometimes they have mock fights together. Very busy must be their thoughts while engaged in these sports.Animals think much while building their houses. The bird searches for what it can use in building its nest, and in doing this it thinks. The beavers think as they build their dams and their houses. They think in getting their materials, and also in arranging them, and in plastering them together with mud. Some spiders build houses which could scarcely have been made except by some thinking creature.As animals think, they learn. Some learn more than others. The parrot learns to talk, though in some other respects it is quite stupid. The mocking bird learns to imitate a great many different sounds. The shepherd dog does not know as much about most things as some other dogs, and yet he understands very well how to take care of sheep.Though animals think and learn, they do not make any real improvement in their ways of doing things, as men do. Each kind of bird has its own way of building a nest, and it is always the same way. They have no new fashions, and learn none from each other.It is plain that, while animals learn about things by their senses as we do, they do not think nearly as much about what they learn, and this is the reason why they do not improve more rapidly. Even the wisest of them, as the elephant and the dog, do not think very much about what they see and hear. Nor is this all. There are some things that we understand, but about which animals know nothing. They have no knowledge of anything that happens outside of their own observation. Their minds are so much unlike ours that they do not know the difference between right and wrong.12. Why does the author mention that some birds and insects are very lively in their sports?A. To illustrate that some animals probably think in the sports.B. To tell us that some birds and insects are more lively than others.C. To show us that ants are the cleverest insects in the animal kingdom.D. To attract readers by introducing some interesting facts about animals.13. “Animals think much while building their houses” because _.A. they have to communicate with each other in getting their materialB. they have to calculate something to arrange all the materialC. no animals have a must to build a “house” except some thinking creaturesD. it is unimaginable to build “houses” without thinking work involved14. The underlined word plain in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by _.A. flat B. clearC. vital D. reasonable15. The author will probably agree that _.A. animals cant think as a matter of factB. animals cant really learn to do somethingC. animals can think and learn but limitedlyD. each kind of animal has their own language【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C【解析】本文为议论文，文章介绍了动物会思考，但又不像人类一样会创新，改革。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第一句话可知动物思考很多，再根据文章Many of them are like children in their sports.，以及Very busy must be their thoughts while engaged in these sports.可知举这些例子是为了证明动物在运动时是思考的。所以A项正确。【13题详解】推理
