The wedding was organized by the city government, and18 couples from Nigeria, Russia, and China took part in the ceremony. Babies between six and nine months of ageunderstand some spoken words, according to a new study. This finding is different from many common beliefs about early learning.

The police said the truck was parked along the side of the road because it had broken down, andthe driver had left to find someone to fix it. 答案: 610.ACCAC 1115.ABACC 1620.BAABC第二部分阅读理解(共两节, 满分40分)第一节(共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分)阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项。AThe deserts of the world are not all covered by sand. Many of them have surfaces of rock or clay or small stones. They are not flat, either. They often have high hills and deep valleys. There is some plants in many parts of the desert. There is little rain in the desert, but it does not fall often enough for most plants. The deserts of the world are not uninhabited(not lived by people). People also live outside oases(绿洲), but these people are not farmers. They have camels, goats, donkeys, sheep, etc. These animals can live on the desert plants and do not need much water. The people of the desert have to move constantly from place to place; they must always look for grasses or desert plants for their animals. They usually live in tents. When there is no more food for their animals, they fold up their tents, pat them on their camels and donkeys, and move to another place. In good years, when there is enough food for their animals, they trade their skins and their goats and camel hairs with the people of oases for wheat and fruit. But in bad years, when there is not enough food for their animals, the people of the desert would attack the oases people. But they are also hospitable; no man in the desert would ever refuse to give a stranger food and water. 【语篇概述】本文讲述了沙漠的地理特点和生活在沙漠的人的生活习惯。21. According to the passage, deserts are mostly made up of. A. clayB. rockC. sandD. stones【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第一段第一、二句“The deserts of the world are not all covered by sand. Many of them have surfaces of rock or clay or small stones. ”可推知, 沙漠主要是由沙组成的。故答案为C。22.

The underlined word “hospitable” has the meaning of being. A. braveB. cruelC. strangeD. kind【解析】选D。词义猜测题。根据文章最后一句“. . . no man in the desert would ever refuse to give a stranger food and water. ”可知, 沙漠里没有人会拒绝给一个陌生人食物和水。即他们是很友好的(hospitable), 故答案为D。24. People live. A. only inside the oasesB. only outside the oasesC. both inside and outside the oasesD. in places with regular rainfalls【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第二段第二句中“People also live outside oases”和第三段第四句中“. . . they trade their skins and their goats and camel hairs with the people of oases for wheat and fruit. ”可知, 人们有住在绿洲内的, 也有住在绿洲外的。故答案为C。BA sandstorm refers to a high amount of wind occurring in sandy areas, usually in deserts, where the wind speed is able to lift the top layer(层)of sand from the ground, and push it in every direction. The sand involved in the sandstorm can reach heights of about3. 05 m15. 24 m. It is very dangerous to experience a sandstorm. Sand can get into the nose, eyes, mouth and lungs. If you happen to be caught in a sandstorm, you must protect yourself by wearing masks, scarves(围巾)and so on. If youre driving when such a storm approaches, its advised that you pull off the road, since its difficult to continue driving. This is also important since vehicles can fail during sandstorms and you could end up stuck on the road. Most sandstorms occur in spring, and during the daytime. Many of the areas around the Persian Gulf and the Sahara Desert are associated with the most serious storms. Since its a natural phenomenon(现象), it cant be entirely controlled. In areas that are natural desert regions, you cant always prevent a sandstorm. Theres much evidence that the planet Mars has dust storms, and clearly, no human intervention(介入)is responsible for such. Though it can move whole sand dunes and destroy crops, a sandstorm is not without benefit. 【语篇概述】本文是说明文, 介绍了沙尘暴的基本信息。25. If youre driving in a sandstorm, youd better. A. stop your car in the middle of the roadB. continue to make your wayC. stop and ask for helpD. stop your car on the side of the road【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知, 如果你遇到沙尘暴, 你最好把车停在路边。pull off the road把车停在路边。故选D。26. The underlined sentence shows that, anyway, sandstorms are. A. usefulB. uselessC. harmfulD. powerful【解析】选A。句意猜测题。此句表明虽然沙尘暴能够移动沙丘并毁坏农作物, 但它并不是毫无益处的。注意a sandstorm is not without benefit表示“不无裨益”, 是双重否定表示肯定。benefit益处。27. According to the writer, a sandstorm. A. is the result of human activitiesB. can be preventedC. cant completely disappear on the earthD. cant be forecast【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据最后一段可知, 作者认为沙尘暴是一种自然现象, 不能完全被控制, 也就不会完全消失, 并且它也不是人为的后果。28. What will be talked about if there is a fifth paragraph? A. The cause of sandstormsB. How to prevent sandstormsC. The benefit of sandstormsD. The forecast of sandstorms【解析】选C。推理判断题。从最后一段最后一句可以判断, 下一段作者要谈论沙尘暴所带来的益处。CIn the past hundred years a million people have died in earthquakes, another million have been killed by hurricanes and tornadoes(龙卷风)and 9 million have lost their lives in floods. In addition to the many millions more have died as a result of hunger and disease. We should also not forget that drought and serious water shortage in many of the worlds countries are a fact of life, especially in the African Sahel area bordering the Sahara Desert. Scientists and engineers around the world have made great advances in earthquake engineering. It is, of course, impossible physically to move cities such as Tokyo and San Francisco that have been built on earthquake belts. But most often it is not the earthquake that kills people. It is the falling buildings, bridges and so on that cause deaths, and such a happening can be greatly reduced by better building programs. Finally, perhaps we need to consider the natural disaster that we are causing ourselves. Through our mismanagement of the planets resources we have sped up the dying out of hundreds of sorts of plants and animals, at the same time possibly destroying our own long-term surroundings for life. Maybe this is one disaster that could be prevented if we are willing to act with a sense of responsibility. 【语篇概述】本文介绍了地震、飓风、龙卷风和洪水等自然灾害, 并呼吁人们保护环境。29. people have been killed in natural disasters in the past 100 years. A. More than 11 millionB. 11 millionC. 10 millionD. More than 1 million【解析】选A。推理判断题。地震、飓风、龙卷风和洪水灾害都属于natural disasters, 这几种自然灾害造成的死亡人数已达11 million, 再加上其他自然灾害造成的死亡人数, 由自然灾害造成的死亡人数也就超过了11 million。30. Which of the following hasnt killed people? A. Earthquakes and floods. B. Hurricanes and tornadoes. C. Droughts and water shortages. D. None of the above. 【解析】选D。细节理解题。文章的第一段谈到了地震、飓风、龙卷风和洪水灾害四种自然灾害所造成的死亡人数, 也谈到了干旱、缺水威胁生存。31. What does the underlined phrase “one disaster” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Earthquakes. B. Mans mismanagement of natural resources. C. The text doesnt tell us. D. All of the disasters mentioned. 【解析】选B。词义猜测题。本句中one disaster应是指代上文所谈到的人类对于自然资源的不合理使用。DSuperfast double-decker(双层)trains will be taking passengers from London to six big cities in the UK by 2033. The first phase(阶段)linking London to the West Midlands with a connection to HS1 is expected to open in 2026, and the second phase to Manchester and Leeds in 2032. The government set out a plan for the high-speed rail network in 2012. When the project is finished, it will take less time to get to London from major cities like Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds. Traveling at a speed of up to 250 mph, passengers will be able to come and go from Birmingham to London in 49 minutes, reducing the journey time by almost half from one hour and 24 minutes. A journey from Birmingham to Leeds will be reduced from two hours to 57 minutes and a journey from Manchester to London will be reduced from two hours and 8 minutes to one hour and 8 minutes. “HS2 is an important part of transports low-carbon future, ”Transport Secretary Justine Greening said. Some people arent happy about the plan, though. HS2 will cost around33 billion. It will also be built near some towns and villages, disturbing the people that live there. But the Chancellor of the Exchequer(财政大臣)George Osborne thinks it will help build the future for Britain. “Its a long-term decision, ”he said. HS2 is designed for everything around the needs of the passengers. It will provide a new and exciting travel experience. There will be plenty of room, intelligent ticketing, a good service and high quality comfort and access to trains. This is a transport network for the new century and beyond. 【语篇概述】这是一篇新闻报道, 文章介绍了英国政府决定要修建HS2高铁, 连接伦敦、伯明翰及北部城市。这一工程将历时长久, 未来的高铁正在一步步走入人们的视线。32. Whats the UKs plan according to the passage? A. To buy some double-decker trains. B. To take passengers to Manchester from London. C. To build a high-speed train network. D. To collect33 billion for the high-speed train network. 【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第一段的描述和第二段的第一句可知英国政府计划修建高铁。33. How long does it usually take you to travel from Birmingham to London by the ordinary train? A. 49 minutes. B. One hour and 24 minutes. C. 57 minutes. D. Two hours and eight minutes. 【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知B项正确。34. What can NOT be inferred from what Justine Greening and George Osborne said? A. HS2 is more important than HS1. B. Not all British people are happy about the plan. C. The British will benefit from the project in the future. D. The33 billion will not be enough for the plan. 【解析】选A。推理判断题。A项说第二阶段比第一阶段重要这一说法在文中找不到支持的证据。根据第四段中Some people arent happy about the plan可知“并非所有英国人都对这项计划感到高兴”, 故B项可以推断出来; 根据第五段中it will help build the future for Britain可推出C项正确; 根据第四段中HS2 will cost around33 billion可知这仅是该计划第二个阶段的费用, 而该计划共有两个阶段, 所以可得出33 billion对整个计划来说是不够的。35. The passage is most probably taken from. A. a novelB. a geography bookC. a personal diaryD. a newspaper【解析】选D。推理判断题。文章主要向读者说明了英国政府建造高铁的计划, 这很可能是一则新闻, 故这篇文章最有可能在报纸上看到。【规律方法】总结内容特点, 推断材料出处解答这类问题时, 我们应从文章的内容或结构来判断其出处。如果文章涉及最新科技, 那材料就有可能来自某科学学报或者书刊; 如果材料来自报刊, 往往会出现日期、地点或通讯社名称; 如果材料来自广告, 则往往可直接从其格式上判断出; 如为其他特殊文体, 也可根据其形式来判断, 例如书信、公告等, 都有其特定的结构。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。When I was a little girl, my mom would say, “Half the fun of doing anything is sharing it with others. ”36. _ Friends and mates allow us to enjoy our successes and our joys, comfort us in our hard moments, and provide a mirror for us to learn more about ourselves. Ive always looked at friends as the family we choose. They enrich our lives. As Robert Louis Steven once said, “37. _ ”To be a good friend or partner, its important to be a good listener. Hear what your friend or mate has to say first rather than jump to conclusions or get defensive. 38. _ When they hear their words repeated back to them, it can help them to realize what they said was not exactly what they meant to say. 39. _ You know the old golden rule, “Care for others the way you would like them t
