Over time, some of their property and much of the surrounding landscape became the Mohonk Preserve, which has since grown to 8, 000 acres and attracts visitors and rock climbers.But the Mohonk Preserve also has a long scientific legacy. In the 1930s, Dan Smiley, a descendent of the original owners, began keeping track of the plants and animals that lived in the area.Megan Napoli is a research ecologist with the Mohonk Preserve in New York. She thinks Smileys efforts produced a rare long-term data set of observations, which is useful for studying the impacts of climate change. For instance, other research has shown that songbirds are migrating north earlier and earlier in the spring.Its important for the birds to arrive at the proper time in the spring, because they need to time their arrival with the insect emergence. So they need to be here to establish their nesting sites, lay their eggs. Once the eggs hatch, they have their baby birds, so they need to time it when the insects are most abundant.Napoli has begun analyzing about 76,000 observations of songbird migration dates collected by Smiley and his team to see if they, too, show that climate change has altered the timing of migrations. Her results suggest that they do.Napoli found that short-distance migrants that spend their winters in the southern U. S. now arrive an average of eleven days earlier than they did in the 1930s. Long-distance migrants that overwinter in the tropics arrive roughly a week earlier. Napoli presented her results at a recent Ecological Society of America meeting in Portland, Oregon.Meanwhile, who knows how many other long-term, personal data collections like Smiley s are out there, waiting to be discovered and to help improve official attempts to track the planets changes.4. What do we know about Dan Smiley?A. He lived in New York City.B. He was a scientific researcher.C. He owned the Mohonk Preserve.D. He kept a record of wildlife.5. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The birds birth.B. The birds arrival.C. The nest building.D. The insect appearance.6. What does Megan Napoli think of Smileys long-term record?A. It has affected the birds migration.B. It challenges the previous research.C. It has changed official attitudes.D. It is of great value to her research.7. What can we learn from Napolis research?A. It is totally based on Smileys long-term notes.B. Scientists have to rely on more personal data.C. Climate change affects birds migration time.D. It contributes greatly to other personal research.【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. C【解析】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲了Dan Smiley长期追踪记录生活在纽约市北部一块区域的野生动植物，他的努力提供了稀有的观察结果的长期数据集，这个数据集是研究气候变化影响的理想资料。生态学家Megan Napoli已经开始对由Dan Smiley和他的团队就鸣禽迁徙时间所收集的近76000份观察结果展开分析，目的是看看这些材料是否也证明了气候变化改变了鸟类的迁徙时间。她初步的研究结果显示，这些材料的确证明了这一点。【4题详解】细节理解题。由第二段In the 1930s, Dan Smiley, a descendent of the original owners, began keeping track of the plants and animals that lived in the area.可知，Dan Smiley保持记录生活在该区域的野生动植物，选D。【5题详解】推理判断题。根据前文Its important for the birds to arrive at the proper time in the spring, because they need to time their arrival with the insect emergence.（春天鸟儿在适当的时间到达非常重要，因为它们要让到达时间与昆虫出现时间一致），所以so they need to time it when the insects are most abundant.（所以它们需要在昆虫最充裕的时候到达），故选B。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段Napoli has begun analyzing about 76,000 observations of songbird migration dates collected by Smiley and his team to see if they, too, show that climate change has altered the timing of migrations. Her results suggest that they do.（Napoli已经开始对由Smiley和他的团队就鸣禽迁徙时间所收集的近76000份观察资料展开分析，目的是看看这些材料是否也证明了气候变化改变了鸟类迁徙时间。她初步的研究结果显示，这些材料的确证明了这一点。）可推知，Napoli认为Smiley长期的记录对她的研究很有价值，选D。【7题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段Napoli has begun analyzing about 76,000 observations of songbird migration dates collected by Smiley and his team to see if they, too, show that climate change has altered the timing of migrations.可知，Napoli的研究表明气候变化的确影响了鸟类的迁徙时间，选C。CFamous Irish poet Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) once wrote: “Ah! Realize your youth while you have it.” He pointed out the important truth about how precious youth is in ones journey through life.However, the popular Internet slang word foxi - or Buddhist - is challenging this norm by encouraging young people to remain calm and peaceful and avoid conflict as much as possible in other words, to live like a Buddha.The phrase was reportedly created in Japan in 2014 to describe young men who no longer bother to start relationships with women or follow someone elses life path. They prefer to stay in their own peaceful world without being disturbed and care little about passion and success.Now, Chinese Internet users are pairing the phrase with other words to describe a similar mindset. For example, “Buddhist students” are those who study just the right amount - they dont cut class, but they dont burn the midnight oil, either. There are also “Buddhist parents”, who interfere (干涉) little with their childrens lives and let them develop however they like - the opposite of “helicopter parents”.In this fast-changing and competitive world, its only natural that people are seeking a spiritual anchor. However, some would compare foxi with “demotivational culture” - a phrase that describes young people who feel aimless and powerless. They say that foxi actually reflects the reality that young people are losing their will to fight. They are pretending to keep a healthy and wise attitude toward failure simply because theyre incapable of succeeding.But no matter what, there is one thing that “Buddhist youngsters” should keep in mind: You may want to keep a calm mindset regarding failure, but you should also be passionate about school, work and life. After all, Wilde also wrote: “Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing.”8. Which would be considered as “Buddhist” by Chinese Internet users?A. A man refusing to date with girls.B. A person refusing others advice.C. A parent caring too much about his child.D. A student never working extra hours.9. What does the underlined word “demotivational” in paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Full of energy.B. Lacking motivation.C. Physically healthy.D. Absent-minded10. Whats the writers suggestion to “Buddhist youngsters”？A. Being positive.B. Being cooperative.C. Being considerate.D. Being content11. What is the best title of the passage?A. Peaceful, or aimless?B. Foxi is popular nowadays.C. What should Buddhist youngsters do?D. Foxi helps live a wonderful life.【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. A【解析】【分析】这是一篇议论文。本文阐述了“佛系”的概念，阐述了人们对于“佛系”的看法，并且将“佛系”和“消极文化”（demotivational culture）作比较，最后建议人们不仅要淡然更要积极的态度对待人生。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Buddhist students” are those who study just the right amount - they dont cut class, but they dont burn the midnight oil, either.”可知，“佛教徒学生”是那些学习量适中的人-那些不逃课，但也不熬夜学习的学生被称为“佛系学生”，这些人就是“佛系”的代表。故D选项正确。【9题详解】词义猜测题。破折后后面的内容是对demotivational culture 的解释说明。根据破折后后面的内容可知，demotivational culture描述的是那些生活没有目标 ，没有力量的年轻人。年轻人正在失去战斗的意志。他们假装对失败保持健康和明智的态度，仅仅是因为他们无法成功。 由此可知，这些人缺乏前进的动力。故B选项正确。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“You may want to keep a calm mindset regarding failure, but you should also be passionate about school, work and life.”可知，你可能想保持冷静的心态，但你也应该对学习、工作和生活充满激情。即：保持积极向上的态度。故A选项正确。【11题详解】标题归纳题。本文阐述了“佛系”的概念，阐述了人们对于“佛系”的看法，并且将“佛系”和“消极文化”（demotivational culture）作比较，最后建议人们对待人生不仅要淡然更要积极的态度。故A选项适合作标题：Peaceful, or aimless？首先，以问题为标题可以引起人们阅读的兴趣。并且，文章对该问题最终做了回答：要平和，但不要漫无目的，没有动力。要有积极向上的生活态度。故选A。【点睛】依据标点符号猜测词义：标点符号是词义猜测的最直接，最简单的信号词。比如，破折号（ - ）、冒号 ( ： ) 常常起解释说明的功能，引号（）和（ ( ) ）有时也起到相同的作用。例如第二小题破折后面的内容就是对demotivational culture的解释说明。根据后面的内容可以判断出“demotivational culture”的含义。DOn April 14th，2010，my entire life changed in an instantOne moment I was joyfully riding through the sunshineThe next moment，metal，flesh and bone were spreading against the pavement in a thunderous crashAnother cyclist，biking carelessly，had cut me off and sent me supermanning toward oncoming trafficAs if to symbolize the accident that had hit my life，another disaster also occurred on April 14th，2010It cost the airline industryl.7 billionTen million travelers were stuck for daysEconomies all over the world were disturbedThis was the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull，one of Icelands many volcanoesHowever，volcanoes are not all badIn fact，they are necessaryThey are responsible for the birth of new earth，and for the creation of rich soilThis eruption gave off 0.15 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere dailyBut cancelling 48% of the worlds flight travel saved about 2.8 million tons of CO from entering the atmosphere，temporarily decreasing our carbon footprintSimilarly，the accident had badly affected my emotion but it also allowed me to look more closely inside myself and discover things about myself I never would have realizedI learned how not to judge myself for my new limitationsIn 1973，another Icelandic volcano，Eldfell，broke outIcelanders decided to bomb it with cold water until it froze and chose a different pathAfter their plan worked，they used the geothermal （地热） energy for the next 15years to heat their homesA good example of life bringing lemons，and making lemonade! One must move on from misfortunes，focusing only on the present moment and being hopeful for the futureI ran from April 14th，2010，to every kind of escapeEventually I ended up in university for a new-found love in Earth sciences12. What happened to the writer on April 14th，2010？A. He was involved in a car crashB. He was stuck in Icelands airportC. He witnessed a volcanic eruptionD. He was badly injured on a bike ride13. Which was an effect of the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull？A. Economy was cost globally by the eruptionB. Carbon dioxide was increased temporarilyC. Most of the worlds planes were held upD. The earth in Ireland was terribly polluted.14. Why did the writer mention the Eldfell volcano？A. It broke out in Iceland on April 14th as wellB. It symbolized the accident that changed his lifeC. It told us to make the most of given situationD. It encouraged him to know more about himself.15. What is the best title for the passage？A. Escape from Volcanoes.B. Inspiration from Disasters.C. Love for Earth Science.D. Attitude towards Nature【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B【解析】这是一篇记叙文。作者在文中以自己遭受交通事故、Eyjafjallajokull火山、Eldfell火山为例来说明，当不幸的事情发生之后，我们可以充分利用既定情况，想办法把“不幸”变为“好事”。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“One moment I was joyfully riding through the sunshineThe next moment，metal，flesh and bone were spreading against the pavement in a thunderous crash. Another cyclist，biking carelessly，had cut me off and sent me supermanning toward oncoming traffic”可知，作者本来在阳光下快乐地骑着车。接着，金属、肉和骨头在一声雷鸣般的轰隆声中飞溅在人行道上。另一个骑自行车的人，由于粗心行驶，撞到了作者，使得作者像超人一样朝着迎面而来的车辆飞去。由此可知，作者在骑自行车的时候严重受伤。故D选项正确。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Economies all over the world were disturbedThis was the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull，one of Icelands many volcanoes”可知，世界各地的经济都受到了影响，这是冰岛众多火山之一埃亚菲亚拉约克火山的爆发的造成的后果。故A选项正确。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“In 1973，another Icelandic volcano，Endwell，broke outIcelanders decided to bomb it with cold water After their plan worked，they used the geothermal （地热） energy for the next 15years to heat their homes”可知，冰岛人在Eldfell火山爆发后，充分利用其产生的地热能源在接下来的15年里供家庭取暖。因此，作者利用这个例子说明：一个人必须摆脱不幸，只关注现在时刻，对未来充满希望（One must move on from misfortunes，focusing only on the present moment and being hopeful for the future）。由此可以推知，作者提到Endwell火山的目的是想表明我们要充分利用既定情况。故C选项正确。【15题详解】标题归纳题。作者在文中以自己遭受交通事故、Eyjafjallajokull火山、Eldfell火山为例来说明，当不幸的事情发生之后，我们可以充分利用既定情况，想办法把“不幸”变为“好事”。由此可知，这篇文章主要讲述的是作者从这些“不幸”中得到的启发。故B选项正确。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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选
