control said on monday. and the invasions(入侵)could partly explain the frequent sandstorms in the country in recent years despite its achievements in desertification control.since the start of last spring, the north and northwestern chinese regions had been hit by 17 sandstorms, of which, a dozen came from foreign land.situated in the central asia sandstorm region, one of the worlds four largest sandstorm sources, china also suffers from sandstorms from outside the country while being blamed as a sand source to northeast asia. the other three major sources are in africa, north america and australia.the land suffering from desertification has been decreasing by 7,585 square kilometres annually in china, and the area of sandy land has also been falling by 1,284 square kilometres a year.the shrinkage(收缩)forms a clear contrast to the fact that the land suffering from desertification and sandy feature was added by 10,400 square kilometers and 3,436 square kilometers late last century, respectively.currently, the desertification land in china makes up 2.64 million square kilometres, accounting for 27.46 percent of the nations land, and its sandy land totals 1.74 million square kilometres, accounting for 18.1 percent of the countrys total.1. what does the underlined word “decreasing” mean in paragraph 4?a. going down. b. going up.c. coming from. d. taking up.2. where

controlling desertification in china.【答案】1. a 2. d 3. c 4. b【解析】试题分析: 近年来中国遭受严重的风沙袭击，而中国也被认为是风沙的来源之一，经过努力在治沙方面取得显著的效果；1. a 考查词意猜测。根据第四段最后的has also been falling by 1,284 square kilometres a year可知，该词的意思是“减少”，与fall的意思接近，故选a项。2. d考查细节理解题。根据第一段提到most of the sandstorms that had swept china last year came from foreign land，a chinese official in charge of desertification（荒漠化） control said on monday.去年袭击中国的沙尘暴来自外国，故选d项。3. c 考查细节理解题。根据第三段situated in the centralasia sandstorm region，one of the worlds four largest sandstorm sources，china also suffers from sandstorms from outside the country while being blamed as a sand source to northeast asia可知中国被认为是东北亚风沙的来源地，故选c项。4. b 考查推理判断题。根据第四段提到the land suffering from desertification has beendecreasingby 7,585 square kilometres annually in china，and the area of sandy land has also been falling by 1,284 square kilometres a year.遭受风沙袭击的土地每年减少7,585平方公里，沙地的区域已经减少了1,284平方公里，故可知控制沙漠化取得了成效，故选b项。考点：环保类阅读。bthere is one type of illness in the world that has a severe effect on more people than anything else and is very deadly. if untreated, this illness could affect everything you do. what is this illness? depression. serious depression requires professional treatment. self-induced depression is something each of us can change.everyones circumstances are different, but the causes of self-induced depression are common: low self-esteem, hurtful thinking and a bad attitude.so how can we change the way we think, feel, and have a cheerful attitude?first we must look at ourselves, truly and honestly examining our motives for what we wish to accomplish. if you are dissatisfied because you feel you havent or cant do anything, then one step is neededto set goals.always start your goals relatively small and easy to attain. think of them as sand; one grain may be insignificant(微不足道的) but as a group they form the beach. once you have set and attained small goals for yourself, move on to slightly larger, more challenging goals.it takes not just setting goals but positive thinking. how can we obtain this?there are a number of factors that can make us think negatively and one of those is diet.in my opinion, a person who eats a lot of take-out and fast food is feeding their body junk. start by eating better foods which give the body much needed minerals. if your physical body is happy, its much easier for your mental body or “thinking ability” to be happy.next, exercise. half an hour a day is recommended for positive well-being. then think about good memories you had, or generally think of things that make you smile. remember, everything you wear costs money but to wear a smile is free. a smile can be the difference between an average day and a great day.if you follow these steps, positive change is on the way.5. which of the statements about depression is true?a. depression is a kind of illness that cant be cured like some cancer.b. depression can all be cured successfully by doctors in an easy way.c. those who suffer from depression live in the same circumstances.d. those who suffer from depression hold negative attitudes.6. according to the passage we can learn that _.a. a practical goal can help people to achieve a sense of successb. we shouldnt be satisfied with small goals that are insignificant.c. we should avoid challenging goals that may result in failured. people can enjoy happiness even if they set inappropriate goals7. what can we infer from the reading passage?a. those who can achieve small goals can surely achieve big ones.b. depression has something to do with the food people eat.c. you can only exercise half an hour if you want to get rid of depression.d. smile makes no sense to the feeling in daily life.【答案】5. d 6. a 7. b【解析】这是一篇社会生活类文章。文章分析了导致抑郁症的原因，介绍了如何消除抑郁，培养积极态度的一些方法。5. 细节理解题。由第二段中的“the causes of self-induced depression are common: low self-esteem, hurtful thinking and a bad attitude”可知，低的自尊心、有害的思想和消极的态度都会导致人们患上抑郁症。故可推知，患抑郁症的人往往有着消极的态度。故d选项切题。6. 推理判断题。由第五段中的“always start your goals relatively small and easy to attain. think of them as sand; one grain may be insignificant（微不足道的） but as a group they form the beach”可知，在开始设立目标时，要设立相对小的容易实现的目标。这就好比沙子，一粒沙子是微不足道的，但是很多沙子就形成了沙滩。目标也是如此，小的目标微不足道，很多小目标聚在一起就是成功。故a选项切题。7. 推理判断题。由倒数第四段中的“there are a number of factors that can make us think negatively and one of those is diet”可知，很多因素导致人们思想消极，最终使人患上抑郁症，其中一个因素就是饮食。故b选项“抑郁和人们的饮食有一定关系”切题。1.d【解题剖析】此题属于细节理解中的（4）是非辨别型。这是一类综合事实细节题，出题形式常常是“三正一误”(三项正确，只有一项不符合原文内容)或“三误一正”（三项错误，只有一项符合原文内容)。【答案定位】由第二段中的“the causes of self-induced depression are common: low self-esteem, hurtful thinking and a bad attitude”可知，低的自尊心、有害的思想和消极的态度都会导致人们患上抑郁症。故可推知，患抑郁症的人往往有着消极的态度。【推理关系】题干which of the statements about depression is true?文章内容 “the causes of self-induced depression are common: low self-esteem, hurtful thinking and a bad attitude”【答案】a bad attitude d选项those who suffer from depression hold negative attitudes.cwith environmentalists pointing to the use of coal, oil and other fossil fuels as adding to the problem of global warming, the world is rushing to find other more environmentally friendly energy sources. many countries are looking to nuclear power as the answer to their energy needs. those who support using nuclear power point to the fact that the process for creating nuclear power produces huge quantities of electricity without producing any greenhouse gases. it seems to be the safest and most environmentally safe method for producing the largest amount of power, much more than solar or wind energy sources.however, despite the many advantages of nuclear power, there are many groups who strongly advise against the use of nuclear power. some groups point to concerns about possible terrorist attacks on nuclear plants or possible nuclear accidents that might result in widespread disaster. however, strange as it seems, many of the strongest voices against nuclear power are actually environmentalists, who oppose nuclear power because they claim it results in more greenhouse gases.it may seem impossible, but in fact both facts are true: nuclear production itself produces no greenhouse gases, but nuclear power does, in fact, lead to the production of many greenhouse gases. how is this possible? the actual production of nuclear power does not let off any greenhouse gases at all; this is the fact that most governments and nuclear power companies point to, and it is, indeed, correct. however, those who oppose nuclear power point out the bigger problem: building and maintaining the nuclear power stations, mining the material used to produce the nuclear power and getting rid of the nuclear waste all create greenhouse gases, the very thing that nuclear power is supposed to avoid. the final point that environmentalists point out is that nuclear power is not a long-term solution to energy. one day uranium, the resource needed for producing nuclear power, will be at an end, the same problem the world is facing with coal and oil today.8. what are many countries relying on to satisfy their energy needs according to the passage?a. coal. b. oil.c. nuclear power. d. other fossil fuels.9. what disadvantages relating to the use of nuclear power are mentioned in the passage?a. no greenhouse gases.b. killing more plants.c. widespread disasters and more greenhouse gases.d. making other energy sources not function well.10. whats the writers attitude towards the use of nuclear power?.a. optimistic. b. indifferent(漠不关心).c. pessimistic. d. objective（客观的）.11. why do some environmentalists point out that nuclear power is not a long term solution to energy?a. because the resource for producing nuclear power will come to an end someday.b. because they think nuclear power gives off too many greenhouse gases.c. because the world is facing coal and oil shortages now.d. because more and more people are opposed to the use of nuclear power.【答案】8. c 9. c 10. d 11. a【解析】这是一篇议论文。目前，很多国家为了解决煤，石油等能源产生的全球变暖问题而采用核能。但是，不同的人对核能的使用有着不同的看法。支持者认为，核能安全、环保。但反对者认为，核能会导致灾难以及更多温室气体的产生，而且制造核能的原料铀也会枯竭。8. 细节理解题。由第一段中的“many countries are looking to nuclear power as the answer to their energy needs”可知，很多国家指望核能来满足其能源需求。故c选项切题。9. 细节理解题。由第二段中的“some groups point to concerns about possible terrorist attacks on nuclear plants or possible nuclear accidents that might result in widespread disasterthey claim it results in more greenhouse gases”可知，核能的使用可能会导致灾难以及更多温室气体的产生，故c选项切题。10. 推理判断题。在本文中，作者只是客观介绍了核能的支持者和反对者的观点，并没有提及自己对核能的看法。故作者的态度是客观的，d选项切题。11. 细节理解题。由最后一段中的“the final point that environmentalists point out is that nuclear power is not a long-term solution to energy. one day uranium, the resource needed for producing nuclear power, will be at an end, the same problem the world is facing with coal and oil today”可知，制造核能所需要的铀终有一天会枯竭，所以环保专家们认为核能并不是能源问题的长期解决办法。a选项切题。dan artist in bogota, colombia is using his skills to aid the homeless. greg kloehn builds very small shelters that make life on the streets a little more comfortable. the structures offer the homeless some safety and protection from bad weather. each little house also has wheels on the bottom so it can go wherever its owner goes.greg kloehn has given away at least 20 tiny houses. several are on the roadside near an active railroad. on a recent day, mr. kloehn stops at one to visit oscar young. the two men hug. inside his little shelter mr. young gets relief from cold nights on the streets. mr. kloehn also visits sweet-pea, another friend who also lives in one of the little homes the artist built. she says it keeps her safe and protects her belongings.in the mornings, mr. kloehn searches the streets for building materials. he gathers what he can and takes it to his studio. there, he puts the houses together. empty coffee bags become roof material. a washing machine door and refrigerator part become windows. nails, screws and the sticky glue hold all the pieces together. the artist also attaches a small electrical device to the house. the device is powered by the sun.some of the people living on the streets once had normal houses of their own. but some of the people say they have learned to live with the homeless and they are thankful to that man.mr. kloehn says his work is not a social project. he says he is just someone applying his skills to helping his homeless neighbors.12. the following are the advantages of the small shelters except _.a. saving power and energyb. protecting possessions of the homelessc. decorating the streets where they ared. keeping the homeless safe and comfortable13. we can learn from the passage that _.a. greg kloehn has sold at least 20 tiny housesb. an act of kindness has made people simple and gratefulc. the shelters are immovabled. the government has got involved in the action14. the passage is likely taken from _.a. an official report b. an art reviewc. a fictional brochure d. a news report15. whats the main idea of the passage?a. an artist creates homes for the homeless.b. a more comfortable shelter on the streets.c. a successful social project in bogota.d. an artist makes a living by designing small shelters.【答案】12. c 13. b 14. b 15. a【解析】这是一篇新闻报道类文章。文章主要介绍了艺术家greg kloehn建造小房子帮助无家可归者的事迹。12. 细节理解题。由第一段中的“greg kloehn builds very small shelters that make life on the streets a little more comfortable.the structures offer the homeless some safety and protection from bad weather”可知，greg kloehn建造的小房子，可以使无家可归者感觉舒服一点，给他们提供了安全和保护。用排除法可知，c选项并不是这种小房子的优点。故c选项切题。13. 细节理解题。由最后一段中的“but some of the people say they have learned to live with less and they are thankful to that man”可知，greg kloehn建造小房子帮助无家可归者的善举使一些人学会更简单的生活，他们对greg kloehn充满感激。故b选项切题。14. 推理判断题。an official report意为“官方报告”；an art review意为“艺术评论”；a fictional brochure意为“虚构的小册子”；a news report意为“新闻报道”。文章介绍了艺术家greg kloehn建造小房子帮助那些无家可归者的事迹。这样的文章应该出自一篇新闻报道。文章介绍的是事实，没有介绍某种艺术，所以a、b、c选项都可以排除。d选项切题。15. 主旨大意题。该文介绍了艺术家greg kloehn建造小房子帮助那些无家可归者的事迹。故a选项切题。【名师点睛】如何把握文章的主旨大意呢？一般来说，一篇文章的第一段往往就点出了文章的主题。如果看完第一段还找不到主题的话，建议同学们看一看每一段的第一句或者最后一句话。这些地方往往是段落主题句的所在。将这些主题句总结在一起，文章的主旨大意就很明确了。在本文中，作者在开头就明确的点出了文章主题。这也符合新闻报道类文章的特点。第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分40分）第一节
