good place for a picnic.CIt is perfect for longdistance walking.DIt is home to various plants and animals.B细节理解题。根据Kings Park部分中的“Here youll find plenty of picnic spots”可知答案。2What do the Bibbulmun Track and Perth Zoo have in common?AThey have a lot of wildlife.BThey house large exhibitions.CThey are in a business centre.DThey are noted for campsites.A细节理解题。根据Bibbulmun Track部分中的“a host of exciting wildlife”和Perth Zoo部分中的“Giraffes,lions,elephants and monkeys are just some of the wildlife living in the zoo”可知,这两个地方的共同点是都有许多野生生物。3What is the purpose of this text?ATo introduce Australia.BTo celebrate some events.CTo attract visitors to Perth.DTo announce new activities.C写作目的题。本文介绍了珀斯的几个旅游景点,目的是吸引游客到该地旅行。BIt is quite apparent that competition surrounds every aspect of human life whether in the United States or the Amazon Rain Forest.Without it we would not have grown into primates(灵长类动物)Or we would probably still be struggling to sharpen a bronze tool while crawling around on four legs in search of meat.Without competition,Columbus wouldnt have discovered America and Edison would never have invented the light bulb.Friendship,like all relationships between two people,involves competition.It isnt competition in a traditional sense because there are no goals to be scored and no prize at stake.Perhaps the ecological definitionthe simultaneous(同时的)demand by two or more organisms for limited environmental resources,such as nutrients,living space,or lightbetter explains it.As in nature,high school life is governed by a set of laws,similar to a shortened version of Darwins theory of evolution,overpopulation,and competition.There is an abundance of high school students and to distinguish them,ranking and categorizing take place.In high school,friendships learn to coexist with competition even though at times the relationship is rough.In fact,in some circumstances,competition is too much of a burden for a friendship to bear,causing it to fall apart.College admission is the final high school objective.Four years of hard work is to achieve good grades,and a students fate is determined not only by these achievements,but by the records of thousands of other seniors trying to achieve a similar recognition.Nevertheless,by necessity,competition between students exists in all aspects of high school life.It sets and improves the standards in everything from sports to schoolwork.A healthy,friendly competition can have only benefits,but when it becomes too fierce,jealousy(妒忌)can tear friendships apart.Yet,despite all this,without competition,we would be lost.【语篇解读】竞争,对人的发展和社会进步有促进作用。同样地,学校的同学之间,朋友之间也存在着竞争。4The ecological definition mainly explains Ahow friends compete with each otherBwhat competition exactly isCwhat the result of competition isDhow to win the competitionB细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句:“Perhaps the ecological definitionthe simultaneous(同时的)demand by two or more organisms for limited environmental resources,such as nutrients,living space,or lightbetter explains it.”可知,作者认为竞争是两个或多个生物体对有限的环境资源的同时的需求。5According to the writer,what causes the high school students to compete?AFriendship is a burden for them.BThe number of them is too large.CThey know the laws of nature well.DThey are divided into different groups.B细节理解题。根据第三段:“.similar to a shortened version of Darwins theory of evolution,overpopulation,and competition.”以及“There is an abundance of high school students and to distinguish them,ranking and categorizing take place.”可知,作者认为学生过多的数量是造成他们竞争的原因。6Which best describes the relationship of friendship and competition?ACompetition is harmful to friendship.BCompetition is a result of lost friendships.CFriendship is always based on competition.DThe degree of competition is vital to friendship.D推理判断题。根据最后一段倒数第二句:“A healthy,friendly competition can have only benefits,but when it becomes too fierce,jealousy(妒忌)can tear friendships apart.”可知,在竞争中把握好度,是至关重要的。7What can we know from the passage?AThe results of competition are out of control.BCompetition becomes fiercer in high school.CCompetition is certain to happen at schools.DFriendship is not as important as competition at schools.C推理判断题。根据第三段第一句:“As in nature,high school life is governed by a set of laws,similar to a shortened version of Darwins theory of evolution,overpopulation,and competition.”可推出竞争在学校中是不可避免的。CThere is a heated argument in New York on the effectiveness of using celebrities in advertising campaigns.Those in favour insist on the considerable benefit celebrities bring to a company;those against fear that consumers(消费者) are suffering from overexposure(曝光过度) to the stars,known in the field as “celebrity fatigue(疲劳)”The use of celebrities in advertising is hardly newJudy Garland and Joan Crawford were signed up by Max Factor in the 1930s and 1940s.For a long time after that celebrities avoided appearing in advertising so they could remain mysterious.That all changed when advertisers started offering big money to Hollywood stars in the 80s and 90s.Gwyneth Paltrow was signed by Estee Lauder and Charlize Theron became a spokeswoman(代言人) for Christian Dior.Nicole Kidman starred in what is possible the most expensive TV advertisement in history:a twominute ad for Chanel No.5 perfume costing a reported $33 million dollars.Catherine ZetaJones became the US face of the mobile phone company TMobile.However,Louis Vuitton has returned to professional models after using actresses such as Jennifer Lopez and Uma Thurman.TMobile has switched to a new campaign using unknown “men on the street” instead of using celebrities.It appears that the stars are losing their selling power.“Ten years ago,having a celebrity in your ad would make it more attractive,”says Robert Thompson of Syracuse University.“Now there are so many celebrities on so many magazines all the time.”It is clear that consumers are becoming increasingly resistant to celebrity marketers.Perhaps the Hollywood actors and actresses of the 50s and 60s were right after all.【语篇解读】本文是议论文。随着时间的推移,大众对广告商使用明星做广告代言的态度发生了变化。8Why did celebrities refuse to appear in advertisements between the 1950s and 1970s?AThey wanted to stay secret.BThey hoped to become Hollywood stars.CThey werent satisfied with the low pay.DThey didnt expect to draw peoples attention.A细节理解题。根据第二段中的“For a long time after that celebrities avoided appearing in advertising so they could remain mysterious.”可知,许多明星拒绝出现在广告中是为了让自己在公众面前保持一种神秘感。9Several stars are mentioned in Paragraph 3 to show .Astars were very welcomed by advertisersBcompanies always changed their spokesmenCadvertising campaigns were highly competitiveDHollywood stars earned a large amount of moneyA推理判断题。根据第三段中对许多明星为产品做代言的描述可知,广告商很喜欢用明星做代言。10What can we infer from Paragraph 4?AStars have strong selling power.BFewer celebrities are used in advertising now.CAdvertising campaigns are getting underway now.DProfessional models used to appear in advertisements.B推理判断题。根据第四段中对两家国际品牌不再使用明星做代言的描述及“the stars are losing their selling power”可知,用明星做代言的潮流已经过去。11What do Thompsons words suggest?AStars serve as models for common people.BMagazines should keep up with the times.CConsumers are losing interest in stars presently.DHaving stars in advertisements can increase their value.C推理判断题。根据最后一段中Thompson的话可知,现在明星的过度曝光导致消费者已经对他们代言的广告失去了兴趣。DI think the most profound(深远的)influence in my life was my father.He was an inventor and a scientist with an inquisitive(好奇的)mind.He loved and was greatly stimulated by the beauty and the design he found in nature.Once he was asked how he got the idea for his invention,the silencer.He answered,“By watching the way water behaved when it went down a drain.”This simple statement opened up for me the ideas which led to a firm belief that human intelligence needs no bounds.I believe that through the use of our intelligence we will move progressively closer to an understanding of man and of the universe around us and that this knowledge will bring a closer harmony between man and his surroundings.And then,this way lies the chance to make the world a better place to live.Then I remember sitting with him on his boat one night in early September.He was deeply interested in astronomy and the stars were brilliant.He led my mind into unforgettable speculation(思索)as we explored the great beauty of that night.I think from this I came to understand that there must be law and order in our universe.There is design.Humans can observe.Humans can learn to understand.Finally,humans can apply.The secret is to apply in the interests of the common good.It is not for one or a few but for all people.My mother and father each had an acute social conscience.They believed that because good fortune had given them better than average opportunities,they had a duty to perform in their communities.From this,no doubt,came my own conviction(主张)that I must give more than I receive and that a satisfactory life must be measured by its usefulness to others.I learned that each one of us has a right to his beliefs.From this understanding,I moved into the belief that people everywhere must learn how to work together for the common purpose of the improvement of human beings.【语篇解读】作者在父亲的影响下,了解到自然界中存在着许多的真理,这些真理往往对人有意义深远的启发。12According to Paragraph 1,the writers father Awas really interested in scienceBmade great contributions to the societyCgot a lot of inspiration from natureDspent much time observing thingsC细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“He loved and was greatly stimulated by the beauty and the design he found in nature.”可知,作者的父亲从自然界中获得了很多灵感。13What does the writer try to express in Paragraph 2?AHumans are the most intelligent creatures.BWe are responsible for making the world better.CFathers words guided her to form her view of life.DWe should trust our own beliefs.C推理判断题。根据第二段“This simple statement opened up for me the ideas which led to a firm belief that human intelligence needs no bounds.”可知父亲的话引导着作者形成自己的人生观。14What does the writer learn from the experience of seeing stars?AThe law of the universe never changes.BThere are many secrets for us to explore in the universe.CWhat she saw that night had a profound influence on her future.DWhat people learn from nature can be applied to benefit all humans.D推理判断题。根据第三段“Humans can observe.Humans can learn to understand.Finally,humans can apply.The secret is to apply in the interests of the common good.It is not for one or a few but for all people.”可知,人们从大自然中学到的东西可以被应用以使得全人类受益。15Why do the writers parents want to perform a duty in their communities?AThey can gain more opportunities.BThey are more talented than others.CThey are in gratitude for their luck.DThey hope to help others.C细节理解题。根据第四段“They believed that because good fortune had given them better than average opportunities,they had a duty to perform in their communities.”可知,作者的父母由于感恩自己的幸运而肩负起对群体的责任。.阅读七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)I dont know what that dream that you have is. I dont care how disappointing it might be as youre working toward that dream. But that dream youre holding in your mind is possible. Some of you already know that its hard. Its hard to change your life. In the process of achieving your dreams, 16 There will be moments when you are going to doubt yourself. Youll say, “Why? Why is this happening to me?” For those of you who have experienced some hardships, dont give up on your dreams. 17 , but they will not stay, they will come to pass.Many of you fail to seek your purpose in life. You dream and then follow it up with a list of all the reasons why the dream is unachievable. 18 . Things like these are the true limits you experience in life and they are what you create or what you allow others to lay upon you. 19 . Acting on the dream is harder.
