they had to find a way past South America.The man who eventually found the way from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific was Ferdinand Magellan.Magellan sailed from Seville in August 1519 with five ships and about 280 men.Fourteen months later，after spending a severe winter on the coast of Patagonia，he discovered the channel which is now called Magellan Strait.In November 1520，after many months of dangers from rocks and storms，during which two ships were lost，the three remaining ships entered the ocean on the other side of South America.They then continued，hoping to reach Asia.But they did not see any land until they reached the islands off the coast of Asia.Before they arrived at these islands，later known as the Philippines，his men were dying of starvation.While they were staying in the Philippines，Magellan was killed in a battle.The remaining officers then had to get back to Spain.They decided to sail round Africa.After many difficulties，one ship with eighteen men sailed into Seville three years after leaving.They were all that remained of Magellans expedition.However，their achievement was great.They were the first men to sail round the world.1The purpose of Magellans expedition was .Ato sail round the worldBto find a sea route to IndiaCto make a voyage to AsiaDto carry men to Philippines答案C解析根据第一段的内容，我们可以知道，欧洲人试图向西航行，经大西洋到太平洋，然后到达亚洲，从而找到一条从海上去亚洲的路线。2The time Magellan Strait was discovered was .Ain August 1519 Bin October 1520Cin November 1520 Dnot mentioned答案B解析根据第二段前两句内容可知，麦哲伦是在1520年10月发现Magellan Strait“麦哲伦海峡”的。3Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage concerning the expedition?ALack of navigation equipment.BSevere winter in Patagonia.CThe death of Magellan.DDangers from rocks and storms.答案A解析通读全文我们可以发现，全文没有提及navigation equipment“航海设备”方面的问题。故选A项。4The best title of this passage is .AMagellans ExpeditionBThe Discovery of the PhilippinesCThe Most Dangerous Expedition in NavigationDThe First Expedition to Asia答案D解析综合全文的内容，我们可以看出本文主要讲述的是麦哲伦及其船队第一次从海上寻找水路去亚洲的探险之旅。故D项为最佳选项。BWorld Oceans Day (WOD) is our planets biggest celebration of the ocean.World Oceans Day 2012 was a great day for ocean conservation(保护)This years theme is “Youth：the Next Wave for Change”There has been an increasing amount of interest in celebrating World Oceans Day among zoos，aquariums，museums and schools.We also had

California，volunteers called on 8,000 young people to do a huge beach clean.In Los Angeles，more than 5,000 kids，teachers and volunteers formed a huge kiddesigned shark and words “Defend the Sea”In Malaysia，about 25 companies and 50 students from primary schools took part in activities such as beach cleanups，an art contest，and a play with science experiments.In Bangladesh，“run for the Ocean” was a worldclass running event on Coxs Bazar，one of the most beautiful running courses in Bangladesh.Each event focused on young people and gave them real suggestions for how they could take action to protect the ocean.In addition to direct action events，many organizations held events in universities，government facilities and businesses.Anywhere people and the ocean came together，World Oceans Day was celebrated.These are just some examples of the 600 events that were held in 2012 to celebrate our shared world ocean.Were thrilled with how things went this year and were already getting excited for 2013.5What is the passage mainly about?AThe planets biggest celebration of the ocean.BGovernment support for young people.CA new type of humanocean relationship.DA special educational

ocean by cleaning beaches in California.CA huge kiddesigned shark was formed by teachers and volunteers in Malaysia.DA world class running event “run for the Ocean” was held in Bangladesh.答案D解析细节理解题。根据第三段第一、三、四句可知A、B、C三项错。根据第三段最后一句可知，一场名为“run for the Ocean”的赛跑活动在孟加拉举行。故选D项。7According to the passage what do the celebrating events have in common?AThat visitors can enjoy beautiful beaches.BThat the weather of World Oceans Day is usually cold.CThat all events encouraged the youth to protect the ocean.DThat all of the countries which held events have a long history.答案C解析细节理解题。根据文章第四段第一句“Each event focused on young people and gave them real suggestions for how they could take action to protect the ocean.”可知，每个活动项目都致力于鼓励年轻人保护海洋。8The authors attitude towards the celebration of World Oceans Day 2012 would be .Anegative BuncertainCpositive Dannoyed答案C解析推理判断题。根据最后一段“Were thrilled with how things went this year and were already getting excited for 2013.”可知，作者对2012年世界海洋日的庆祝活动持肯定态度。CWelcome to one of the largest collections of footwear(鞋类) in the world that will make you green with envy.Here at the Footwear Museum，you can see exhibits(展品) from all over the world.You can find out about shoes worn by everyone from the Ancient Egyptians to pop stars.Room 1,The celebrity(名人) footwear section is probably the most popular in the entire museum.Started in the 1950s there is a wide variety of shoes and boots belonging to everyone from queens and presidents to pop stars and actors！Most visitors find the celebrities choice of footwear extremely interesting.Room 2,Most of our visitors are amazedand shockedby the collection of “special purpose” shoes on exhibition here at the Museum of Footwear.For example，there are Chinese shoes made of silk that were worn by women to tie their feet firmly to prevent them from growing too much！Room 3,As well as shoes and boots the museum also exhibits shoeshaped objects.The variety is unbelievable.For example，there is a metal lamp that resembles a pair of shoes，and Greek wine bottles that look like legs！The Footwear Library,People come from all over the world to study in our excellent footwear library.Designers and researchers come here to look up information on anything and everything related to the subject of footwear.9Where would you find a famous singers shoes?ARoom 1.BRoom 2.CRoom 3.DThe Footwear Library.答案A解析细节理解题。文章第二部分由四则信息组成，分别介绍三个展室的展品和鞋类图书馆。Room 1属于名人鞋类展室，a famous singer属于a celebrity，故选A项。第一个方框中的“belonging to everyone from queens and presidents to pop stars and actors”也是解题信息。10All exhibits in each room .Ashare the same themeBhave the same shapeCare made of the same materialDbelong to the same social class答案A解析细节理解题。前三个方框内的信息分别介绍三个不同的展室，这三个展室分别是：名人鞋类展区、特殊用途鞋类展区、造型像鞋的物品展区。显然，这三个展室都围绕同一主题，故选A项。11Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?AThe oldest exhibits in Room 1 were made in the 1950s.BRoom 2 is the most visited place in the museum.CRoom 3 has a richer variety of exhibits than the other two.DResearchers come to the Footwear Library for data.答案D解析细节理解题。由第一个方框中的“Started in the 1950s”，知A项错；由第一个方框中的第一句话知Room 1应该是整个博物馆游客最多的地方，故B项错；第三展室展出的是造型像鞋的物品，其中的物品丰富，但并未说明此展室比其他两个展室的展品更丰富，C项无依据。根据第四个方框中的“Designers and researchers come here to look up information on anything and everything related to the subject of footwear.”可知，设计师们和研究者们来此是为了查阅信息资料，D项正确。12The purpose of the text is to get more people to .Ado research Bdesign shoesCvisit the museum Dfollow celebrities答案C解析写作目的题。根据文中的Welcome to.Most visitors.Most of our visitors.可知，作者是在推荐该鞋类博物馆，希望更多的人去参观。故选C项。A、B两项只局限于参观The Footwear Library的游客，D项锁定的只是参观Room 1的游客，且展出名人鞋类的目的并非就是为了刺激游客追逐名人。DA newly discovered ancient Chinese map may prove that it was a Chinese navigator (航海家) who first discovered America.He may have made the discovery seventy years before Columbus discovered the New World.The map，which has gone on display in Beijing，is said to be a copy made in 1763 of a much older map dating back to 1418.It clearly describes Africa，Europe and the Americas.If its proven to be believable，the map would provide strong evidence to suggest that the famous Ming Dynasty sailor，Zheng He，beat Christopher Columbus，who arrived in America in 1492，to the discovery of the New World.Liu Gang，a Chinese lawyer and map collector，bought the map in an antique (古董的) store in Shanghai in 2001 for about 500 US.dollars.Liu Gang thinks the map supports the thesis of British author，Gavin Menzies，who in his 2003 book argued Zheng He was the first person to circumnavigate (环航) the globe and discover America sometime between 1421 and 1423.“In principle，the British author Gavin is right.Before Columbus，Zheng He discovered America and the whole world.But in detail，not exactly.three years difference.I dont think thats a big deal，”Liu said.Zheng He commanded a group of ships，which sailed between 1405 and 1433 at the order of the emperor during Chinas Ming Dynasty.His aim was to spread the glory of China to the world and establish trade.13We learn from Paragraph 1 that .Athe writer was proud of an ancient mapBboth the Chinese navigator and Columbus were heroesCthe ancient map made by a Chinese navigator was just foundDthe Chinese navigator may be the first man who discovered America答案D解析根据第一段第一句可知D项正确。14Which of the following correctly describes the ancient map?AThe ancient map on display in Beijing is said to be made in 1418.BThe ancient map，which is said to be made in 1763，is on display in Beijing.CThe ancient map was bought by Liu Gang，a Chinese navigator in 2001.DThe ancient map was introduced to be listed in Gavins book by Liu Gang to support his idea.答案B解析根据第二段第一句可以判断：现在在北京的展品是1763年复制古时(1418年)的仿制品。15What does the British author in his book try to argue in the passage?AThe first person who discovered America may be Zheng He.BThe first person to circumnavigate the globe is not worth discussing.CThe year when Zheng He discovered America may be between 1421 and 1423.DThe year when Christopher Columbus discovered America was ahead of 1423.答案A解析根据第三段第二句中的“.Gavin Menzies，who in his 2003 book argued Zheng He was the first person to circumnavigate (环航) the globe and discover America sometime between 1421 and 1423.”可判断A项正确。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。Around the world young people are spending unbelievable sums of money in listening to rock music. 16 “It doesnt make sense，” says Johnny Mathis，one of the oldest music millionaires，who made a million dollars a year when he was the most popular，in the 1950s.“Performers arent worth this kind of money.In fact，nobody is.” But the rock stars admirers seem to disagree.Those who love rock music spend about two billion dollars a year for records.They pay 150 million to see rock stars in person. 17 According to one theory，rock music has a special attraction because no real training is needed to produce it.There is no gulf between the audience and the performer.Every boy and girl in the audience thinks，“I could sing like that.” Young people are glad to pay to admire a rock star because it is a way of admiring themselves.Luck is a keyword for explaining the success of many. 18 Then，too，like most performers，McLean writes his own music，so he earns an additional two cents on every single record of the song. 19 Around the world young listeners soon want to see the star in movies，on television，and in person.Neil Young，who performs in torn blue jeans，sometimes sings to an audience of 10,000，each of whom has paid at least five dollars for a ticket.After paying expenses，Young leaves with about $18,000 in his blue jeans at the end of an evening.How do the rock stars use their money？What do they do when the money starts pouring in like water？ 20 Englands Elton John gave someone a $38,000 Rolls Royce automobile and bought himself a $5,000 pair of eyeglasses.He also bought himself two cars，“one for each foot”However，after two or three years richness and fame are gone.Left with his memories and his tax problems，the lonely experformer spends his remaining years trying to impress strangers.New stars have arrived to take his place.ARecords provide only part of a stars income.BMost of the young stars simply throw the money around.COne of the luckiest was Don McLean，who wrote and sang “American Pie”DSome observers think the customers are buying more than music.EForbes Magazine claims that at least fifty rock stars have incomes of between two million and six million dollars per year.FWhen they need money again，they do another tour.GA star can earn much money by recordselling.答案16.E17.D18.C19.A20.B第二部分英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。I have two friends who were in financial(财政的) difficulty and needed
