These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbias fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a childrens party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.28. What does the author seem to like about cherries?A. They have a pleasant taste. B. They are high in vitamin A.C. They contain protein. D. They are rich in antioxidants.29. Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?A. To make them smell better. B. To improve their nutrition.C. To speed up their ripening. D. To keep their colour.30. What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?A. A dessert. B. A machine.C. A container. D. A drink.31. From which is the text probably taken?A. A biology textbook. B. A research paper.C. A health magazine. D. A travel brochure.【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. C【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了七月份出现的一些水果的营养价值。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbias fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.可知这些浆果味道非常好，这是作者喜欢他们的原因。故A项正确。【29题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段第四句If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown.可知新鲜的柠檬汁可以阻止香蕉变色，也就是说新鲜的柠檬可以帮助保持原来的颜色。故D项正确。【30题详解】猜测词义题。根据横线后句“you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit.”你可以向里面加入.；可知“a juicer”是一种榨汁机器。故B项正确。【31题详解】推理判断题。本文详细介绍了七月份出现的一些水果的营养价值，可知本文是从健康杂志上摘录的。故C项正确。DIf someone asked you to quantify (衡量) the time you spend online, how would you answer? If youre like one-fifth of Americans, youd likely say “almost constantly.” New research shows that 21 percent of Americans report that theyre online more or less constantly.Andrew Perrin, a research assistant at Pew, did a survey about Internet use. During the survey, adults were asked how much they go online. 13 percent said they dont go online and 13 percent said they go online several times a week or less. Only 10 percent said they go online once a day and much larger quantities said they go online several times a day (42 percent) or “almost constantly” (21 percent).Interestingly, there wasnt a gender split (性别分化) when it came to near constant Internet use. Age seems to be the great divider: Only six percent of people over 65 said they were online that much. Those who reported that they were online all the time included 12 percent of 50- to 64-year-olds, 28 percent of 30- to 49-year-olds and 36 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds.Dont suppose that teenagers are online more than adults, however. In another survey, Pew found that while they did have a slight edge on adults in general when it came to “almost constant” Internet use, 24 percent said they were online pretty much all the time. They still fell greatly behind the 36 percent of adults between 18 and 29 years of age who were always online.Given that the United Nations considers unrestricted (无限制的) Internet access (接入) to be a human right, the number of Americans who report being online “almost constantly” could rise along with availability and affordability. But it remains to be seen whether being online all the time is actually something to long for, or how constant connectivity will affect American culture in the long term.32. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The aim of the survey. B. The results of the survey.C. Why the survey mattered. D. How the survey was carried out.33. According to the text, most “almost constant” Internet users are _.A. women between 30 and 49 years old B. men over 50 years oldC. Teenagers D. adults between 18 and 29 years old34. The underlined part “have a slight edge on” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _.A. have an advantage over B. have power overC. have a very bad effect on D. have nothing in common with35. The author showed his concern about _.A. the affordability of Internet useB. the availability of unrestricted Internet accessC. the effect constant Internet use may have on cultureD. the health problems constant Internet use may cause【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. C【解析】本文是一篇关于社会现象的文章，介绍了美国人过度使用网络的调查结果，以及人们对这一现象的看法。【32题详解】段落大意题。根据本段第一句Andrew Perrin, a research assistant at Pew, did a survey about Internet use.可知研究人员做了一些关于使用网络的调查，之后几句都是关于调查的结果。故本段主要讲述的是调查结果。故B项正确。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句Those who reported that they were online all the time included 12 percent of 50- to 64-year-olds, 28 percent of 30- to 49-year-olds and 36 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds.可知18-29岁的成年人几乎一直都在上网。故D项正确。【34题详解】猜测词义题。本段第一句Dont suppose that teenagers are online more than adults,告诉我们不要认为年轻人比成年人上网更多。Pew发现虽然总得说来年轻人比成年人有点优势，但是百分之24的年轻人落后于百分之36的成年人。所以该词意为“比有优势”。故A项正确。【35题详解】细节理解题。根据文章最后一句But it remains to be seen whether being online all the time is actually something to long for, or how constant connectivity will affect American culture in the long term.可知作者担心过度使用网络会影响美国文化。故C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。If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping. I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me._36_The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer._37_We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctors bill for my sons food poisoning.I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness._38_Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life._39_ We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains._40_ It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.A.I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.B.Things are going to be improved.C.I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.D.The trip they took me on was a rough one.E.After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.F. This time there was no tent.G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall.【答案】36. C 37. D38. F 39. E40. A【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者从不喜欢野营到积极参加野营活动的过程。【36题详解】横线前句They had nothing in common with me.告诉读者野营和作者没有任何的共同之处，也就是说作者三年前并不喜欢野营。但后来他开始了解了一些关于野营的信息。故C项符合上下文语境。【37题详解】横线后句“We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom.”告诉读者作者参加的一次艰难的野营活动。故D项“The trip they took me on was a rough on
