How did the servants deal with their earnings in Victorian times?A. They paid for the housing.B. They bought food and clothes.C. They sent them to their families.18. What was a nurses main duty?A. Cooking mealsB. Looking after children.C. Educating children.19. How did the Victorian upper class parents treat their children actually?A. Cruelly.B. Kindly.C. Strictly.20. What will the speaker talk about next?A. Lower class families.B. Upper class childrens situation.C. Comparisons between upper and lower classes.【答案】17. C 18. B 19. B 20. A【解析】W: Good morning, everyone. Today were going to look at the wide differences in family life between the rich and the poor in Victorian times. Lets begin with the upper classes. In Victorian times, the upper classes made up less than 3% of the population, yet held more than 90% of the countrys wealth. Most of their servants were very poorly paid, but were always living in the homes of upper-class Victorian families, so they didnt have to pay for housing, food and clothing. The money which they did earn, they sent to their families. Many servants came from the countryside. Among them were cooks, cleaners, gardeners and so on. The family would also employ a childs nurse whose main role was to care for the children. She was responsible for teaching the children how to behave and taking care of them when they were ill. Nurses did not, however, educate the children. Generally, children from wealthy families didnt attend school outside the family home. Tutors would come to the house to do this. Now, the Victorian upper classes have the reputation of being quite cruel; but this wasnt always the case. They were also quite generous. Some schools were set up with money from the upper classes so that poor children could have some form of education. Additionally, most Victorian parents were very proud of their children. This goes against the common idea that parents were very strict with their children. In fact, the opposite was generally the rule. However, the situation for lower class families was very different. Lets have a look.【17题详解】此题为听力题，解析略。【18题详解】此题为听力题，解析略。【19题详解】此题为听力题，解析略。【20题详解】此题为听力题，解析略。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、D)中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AWith its snow-covered mountains and a variety of wildlife, Yellow Stone National Park is one of the scenic treasures of the United States. Located primarily in Wyoming, the park hosts millions of visitors every year. If you plan to travel within the park, keep in mind advice from the National Park Service.Seasonal TravelTravel varies vastly from season to season. Roads are generally open in the summer except for cases of rock or mud slides, wild fires, accidents or road construction. Early snows in the fall can cause some roads to close temporarily. In the winter almost all roads are closed to motor vehicles, but snowmobiles and other snow vehicles with tracks are allowed. Roads begin to open for the spring by the latter part of April but can close if snowfall continues.Driving TimeGrand Loop is the main road through Yellowstone National Park; it passes by most of the major attractions. These include Old Faithful, Yellowstone Lake and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. The maximum speed limit on the Grand Loop is 45 miles per hour, but the speed limit drops during some of the winding and twisting sections of this narrow road. Allow yourself at least two days to fully travel the loop due to the size of the park and being sometimes stuck in heavy traffic.Safety AwarenessBuffalo(水牛)often block the roads in the park as they move through the fields. If a group is traveling across the road you are on you can either wait for them to pass or find an alternative route. If you get out of your vehicle, the National Park Service says to stay at least 25 yards from any buffalo (and 100 yards or more away from bears and wolves). Buffalo are particularly unpredictable and charge people at speeds up to 30 mph.You can take your bicycle on any public roads and routes designed for bikes, but bicycles are not allowed on the park roads which are narrow with few shoulders. Altitudes range from 5, 300 to 8, 860 feet. The National Park Service recommends cyclists wear helmets and noticeable clothing.21. What do we know about travelling in the Yellowstone Park?A. Roads will stay open in case of emergency.B. Traffic jam happens from time to time.C. The driving speed on the road can be 50 mph.D. Motor vehicles are allowed in the winter.22. What does the National Park Service suggest people do about safety?A. Stay inside the car throughout the travel.B. Get out of their vehicles when coming across the Buffalo.C. Wear the easy-to-see clothes while bicycling.D. Avoid bicycling on the public roads.23. From which is the text probably taken?A. A guidebook.B. A commercial advertisement.C. A research paper.D. A geography textbook.【答案】21. B 22. C 23. A【解析】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了美国国家公园管理局给出的游览黄石国家公园的建议。【21题详解】细节理解题。根据Driving Time部分中的“Allow yourself at least two days to fully travel the loop due to the size of the park and being sometimes stuck in heavy traffic.”可知，考虑到交通拥挤，给自己至少两天时间来完成环行，由此可知，黄石公园的交通堵塞时有发生，故B项正确。【22题详解】细节理解题。根据Safety Awareness部分中的“The National Park Service recommends cyclists wear helmets and noticeable clothing.”可知，美国国家公园管理局建议骑自行车游览公园的人戴头盔和穿醒目的衣服，故C项正确。【23题详解】推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了美国国家公园管理局给出的游览黄石国家公园的建议，属于旅游范畴，最有可能出自旅游指南，故A项正确。BThere are many programs for high school students today that help lonely teenagers deal with loneliness. However, loneliness is not only an issue for teens but also an important and rarely acknowledged one in the elderly.In Britain, Tracey Crouch was appointed to be the first Minister of Loneliness in order to address the issues caused by loneliness. This is the first time such a position has been created.In Britain, there are around 9 million people who say they are lonely frequently. In Germany, a study conducted by Ruhr University Bochum found that 20 percent of people over the age of 85 felt lonely, and 14 percent of those between age 45 and 65 felt socially lonely. In the United States, more than 25 percent of the population lives alone, more than 50 percent are unmarried.Loneliness is generally associated with heart disease, overweight, and anxiety. Additionally, the stress from loneliness can cause your cells to change on a molecular(分子)level that reduces its abilities to defend your body against diseases. In fact, doctors believe having feelings of loneliness is equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes per day in regard to its effect on health!In Britain, the new Minister of Loneliness will help introduce government policies on the issue and fund a charityan organization for helping people in need, to devote their efforts towards aiding loneliness. There are charities that link lonely seniors to high school students in order to give them a line of communication whenever they feel lonely!The possibilities for the new Minister of Loneliness are endless. For example, she can provide education services to household businesses so that they can identify lonely customers if they see one. Loneliness fits into the category of being a social issue that must be monitored by the entire community in order to help those in need. Therefore, government involvement in medical services and care for seniors and others is vital for happy seniors.24. How does the author develop Paragraph 3?A. By listing some statistics.B. By giving examples of lonely people.C. By pointing out similarities and differences.D. By comparing different cultures in different countries.25. What does the underlined word “equivalent” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Relevant.B. Similar.C. Opposite.D. Superior.26. What will the Minister of Loneliness do?A. Do housework for lonely people.B. Develop friendships with the elderly.C. Help fund charities to aid lonely people.D. Communicate with anxious school students.27. What is the main idea of the text?A. UK becomes the capital of loneliness.B. Loneliness affects old peoples life worldwide.C. Many teenagers suffer from loneliness.D. UKs Minister of Loneliness settles loneliness.【答案】24. A 25. B 26. C 27. D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了孤独对健康有很不好的影响，英国任命孤独问题部长来解决人们的孤独问题。【24题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“20 percent”、“14 percent”及“more than 25 percent”等信息可知，第三段是用列举数据的方法发展的，故A项正确。【25题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“smoking 15 cigarettes per day in regard to its effect on health!”可知，医生认为孤独对健康的影响相当于每天吸15支烟，由此可知画线词词义为“相似的”，故B项正确。【26题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“In Britain, the new Minister of Loneliness will help introduce government policies on the issue and fund a charityan organization for helping people in need, to devote their efforts towards aiding loneliness.”可知，英国的孤独问题部长通过资助慈善机构来帮助孤独的人，故C项正确。【27题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章内容，特别是根据第二段中的“In Britain, Tracey Crouch was appointed to be the first Minister of Loneliness in order to address the issues caused by loneliness.”可知，本文介绍了英国任命孤独问题部长来解决人们的孤独问题，故D项正确。【点睛】词义猜测题的难度较大，理解画线词的上下文是关键，例如本篇第2题，本段讲的是孤独对健康的不利影响，结合画线词后的“smoking 15 cigarettes per day in regard to its effect on health! ”可知，此处是拿孤独和吸烟对健康的影响作比较，医生认为孤独对健康的影响相当于每天吸15支烟，由此可知画线词词义为“相似的”。CNine years ago, a few days before Christmas, I was a director at a company in San Francisco, and I was called into a meeting that was already in progress. That meeting turned out to be my exit interview. I was 64 years old at the time. It wasnt completely unexpected. I signed a pile of papers and left the company.So, 40 plus years of employment was over. I had a good reputation and background. Retirement was not a choice for me. I wanted to do something. And then an idea came into my mind, born from my concern for our environment. I wanted to build my own business, designing and producing biodegradable(可生物降解的)packaging from waste. This is called clean technology, and it was really meaningful to me. It could help reduce billions of pounds of single-use plastic packaging wasted each year.Five years later, Im delighted and proud to share with you that our income has doubled every year and we have no debt. Meanwhile, I have a wonderful partner, and weve won more than 20 awards for the work that weve done.And I am doing the most rewarding and meaningful work of my life right now. But what I really long for is to find other first-time entrepreneurs(企业家)who are my age. I want to connect with them.So I want to do something about that in a few years. I want us to start talking more about people who dont become entrepreneurs until they are seniors. And then connecting all of them across industries, regions and countriesbuilding a community.28.
