A
Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history.
Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.
Why should people care Because we need animals. And because once they are gone, there will never be any more.
Animals are more than beautiful or interesting or a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems.
For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks(鹰), the farmers' stores of corn and grain were destroyed by mice. Why Because hawks eat mice. With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the mice multiplied quickly.
Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger.
Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.
1. What is the theme for the text
A. Save the animals. B. Useful animals.
C. Laws for animals. D. Animals in danger.
2. Why are animals important for us
A. They give us a source of food. B. They are beautiful and lovely.
C. They keep the balance of nature. D. They give us a lot of pleasure.
3. What does the underlined word"multiplied" in Para. 5 mean
A. Became more. B. Became less. C. Turned black. D. Ate food.
4. What can be inferred from the text about animal protection
A. Being noticed by people all the time.
B. Helping decrease the hawk population.
C. Many countries have passed laws.
D. More awareness should be raised.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. A 4. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了动物在保持自然平衡方面的重要性,呼吁大家提升保护动物的意识。
【1题详解】
主旨大意题。文章首段就提到了“Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history”后文分段展开写出动物面临的生存现状、保护动物的必要性以及目前一些国家对野生动物所采取的保护性措施等都体现了保护动物的主题,故文章主题应是save animals“保护动物”。故选择A项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Animals are more than beautiful or interesting or a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature.”(动物不仅仅是美丽、有趣或食物来源。 每种动物在自然界的平衡中都有自己的位置)可知,每一种动物的存在都是有道理的,都是为了维持自然界的平衡,所以动物对我们很重要。故选择C项。
【3题详解】
词句猜测题。由划线词所在的段落可以看出,当鹰的数量因人类的捕杀而减少时,粮食受老鼠的毁坏会加重。没有鹰对老鼠的捕杀,老鼠的数量自然是增长很快,即“multiplied” 意思是“变得更多”。故选择A项。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。本文告诉了我们动物对人类生活的重要性,即便一些人正在致力于保护动物,然而现行的法律仅在极少数国家实施通过,因此唤醒更多人们的保护意识还有很长的路要走。故选择D项。
B
A young man named John met a senior citizen who had taught him many years before. But the teacher couldn’t recognize him by appearance. John told his teacher a story about how he inspired him to become a teacher.
“One day, a friend of mine entered the classroom with a new nice watch which I admired so much. So, I decided to steal it. Shortly after, my friend found that his watch was gone and immediately complained to his teacher, who was you. Then you went to the classroom and told the class about the lost watch. I wouldn’t give it back to him. Then you closed the door, told all the students to get up and began to search students’ pockets for it one by one. But you asked us to close our eyes. When you went through my pockets, you found the watch and took it. You went on searching everyone’s pockets till you finished finally. You never said anything about the incident, nor even took me aside to give me a moral lesson. But I received your message clearly. It was the most shameful day of my life, but it was also the day my dignity (尊严) was saved and I decided never to become a thief. And thanks to you, I understood what a real educator needs to do.”
John asked the professor if he still remembered the incident. He replied to him honestly, “I do remember the situation, the stolen watch and that I was looking for it in everyone’s pockets, but I didn’t remember you, because I also closed my eyes while searching.”
If to correct you must make students feel ashamed or stupid and lose the respect of other people, you don’t know how to teach yet.

C. A friend told John about him. D. His teacher asked to see him.
6. How did John most possibly feel when the search for the watch began
A. Nervous. B. Curious.
C. Patient. D. Unfortunate
7. What message does the story communicate to us A good teacher should
A. devote himself to his teaching B. learn some educational science
C. respect the students’ dignity D. help the students keep their secrets
8. Why did the teacher remember the situation but forget John
A. Because John was only one of all his students.
B. Because the teacher hated to mention the past.
C. Because he closed his eyes while searching them.
D. Because he pretended not to have recognized him.
【答案】5. B 6. A 7. C 8. C
【解析】

【5题详解】
判断推理题。根据第一段“A young man named John met a senior citizen who had taught him many years before.(一个名叫John的年轻人见到了许多年以前教他的老师)”可知,John见到恩师,但在文中没有提及如何见到的。故选B。
【6题详解】
判断推理题。根据第二段“One day, a friend of mine entered the classroom with a new nice watch which I admired so much. So, I decided to steal it.(有一天,我的一个朋友带着一款新的漂亮手表走进教室,我羡慕极了。因此,我决定偷这个手表)”可知, 因为John偷了同学的手表,老师开始搜身寻找手表时John肯定很紧张。故选A。
【7题详解】
判断推理题。根据第二段“When you went through my pockets, you found the watch and took it. You went on searching everyone’s pockets till you finished finally. You never said anything about the incident, nor even took me aside to give me a moral lesson.(当你搜查我的口袋时,你发现了手表,然后拿走了。你继续搜查其他人的口袋直到最后。你从未提及,甚至没有教训我)”可知,恩师闭着眼睛搜表,事后从未声张,保护了John的尊严,使得John真正懂得了一个名副其实的教育者应该做的——保护学生的尊严。故选C。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“I didn’t remember you, because I also closed my eyes while searching. (我记不起你,因为当我搜查时,我也闭着眼睛)”可知,这位老师没有记得John,是因为搜身找表时,恩师也闭着眼睛。故选C。
C
Whether you’re travelling to the islands or the mountains of Thailand, you’re likely to spend at least one night in its capital city on the way. Bangkok might be noisy and polluted but it’s also an exciting city with plenty of things to see and do. Why not make it a longer stay
Where to stay
The Khao San Road was a famous traveller spot even before Leonardo di Caprio’s character in the film The Beach stayed there. But it’s noisy, not very pretty and not very Thai. For something more authentic, Phra Kanong offers an alternative place to stay, with its fantastic street markets where every day Bangkok people eat, work and live. It’s not as convenient for the main tourist sites as the Khao San Road, but it has a Skytrain station so you can be at the Grand Palace in 20 minutes.
How to get around
Bangkok’s traffic can be a nightmare. Sure, you can easily take a taxi --- if you want to spend hours stuck in traffic jams---but there are two much better ways to get around the city. To explore the temples and historical sites, catch an express boat river taxi or a long tail boat along the Chao Phraya river and the canals. For the modern part of the city, the Skytrain is a fast, cheap way to travel from the river to the shopping malls and nightlife of Sukhumvit and the famous Chatuchak street market.
Where to eat
The simple answer is: everywhere! Thai street food is among the best in the world, and for around $5 you can eat a filling and delicious meal. Some food stands have little plastic seats where you can sit and eat and they cook the same dish over and over, like fried chicken on rice or Pad Thai noodles. Head for Chinatown --- Yaowarat Street --- and choose whatever looks most interesting from the many excellent Chinese and Thai restaurants and food stands.
9. Where do local Thai people often go
A. Khao San Road. B. Phra Kanong. C. Chao Phraya. D. Grand Palace.
10. Taking______ is a faster way to see the modern part of Bangkok.
A. a taxi. B. a bus. C. a boat. D. the Skytrain.
11. Which of the following is true according to the text
A. One night is enough time to see Bangkok.
B. Khao San Road is an authentic Thai area of the city.
C. Phra Kanong is further away from the main tourist sites than Khao San Road is.
D. You need to choose where to eat carefully, as not everywhere is good.
【答案】9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇应用文。主要介绍了曼谷的旅游攻略。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“For something more authentic, Phra Kanong offers an alternative place to stay, with its fantastic street markets where every day Bangkok people eat, work and live.(如果想要餐馆更地道的地方的话,Phra Kanong是一个不错的选择,它有着奇妙的街市,曼谷人每天在这里吃饭,工作,居住。)”可知,泰国当地人通常回去Phra Kanong,故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“For the modern part of the city, the Skytrain is a fast, cheap way(对于城市现代化的区域,空中列车是一个快速、便宜的方式)”可知,想要去城市的现代化区域,可以选择空中列车,故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It’s not as convenient for the main tourist sites as the Khao San Road, but it has a Skytrain station so you can be at the Grand Palace in 20 minutes.(去主要的旅游景点并不像Khao San Road那样方便,但是此处有一个空中列车车站,因此你可以在20分钟内到达泰国大皇宫。)”可知,比起Khao San Road,Phra Kanong离泰国的主要旅游景点更远。故选C。
D
School had just started in August when Conner began throwing up for no reason. It wasn’t long before the boy also began suffering terrible headaches. In February a 1.7-inch tumor was found in his brain and Conner was set to begin to receive radiation (放射疗法) treatments. Before treatments start, technicians make a white plastic mask (面罩) to keep patients immoveable and protect unaffected parts of the brain while radiation is directed at the tumor.
It’s an unpleasant experience and a frightening time. The doctor Cook decided that the masks could at least be made to look like something fun—maybe Batman or Mickey Mouse. “I started thinking these masks are white and not fun at all for kids,” she told The Greenville News. “I felt like if we could make them a little more fun for them, they might be a little more excited about coming in for the treatment. Because the kids are afraid. While the treatment itself isn’t physically painful, it can cause a lot of anxiety (焦虑). And the treatment is required daily for up to six weeks.”
And the masks really make a difference. “The kids really like them,” Cook said. “It makes what is, let’s face it, a terrible experience, a nice experience because they get to choose something themselves.”
When new children come in for the treatment, Cook finds out what their favorite movies or cartoon characters are. Then she sets about creating the mask by drawing the image she wants onto paper, sticking it with glue, and once it’s dry, she applies the colors using paints. Each child can take the mask home once the treatment ends.
“Coming to the doctor always means fear and pain. I wanted to make it fun,” she said. “The kids really love it. It’s something they enjoy and can relate to. And it fills an interest I have. I get great pleasure from it.”
12. Why is the plastic mask used according to paragraph 1
A. To protect the brain. B. To speed the treatment.
C. To reduce the headache. D. To help with a health check.
13. What can we know about the radiation treatment
A. It can be received at home. B. It will cause huge physical pain.
C. It may make the patients feel worried. D. It needs to be completed in a month.
14. What does Cook do to help the children being treated
A. Show them their favorite movies.
B. Offer them some free masks as gifts.
C. Dress them up as cartoon characters.
D. Make the masks more interesting to kids.
15. What does the author want to show by telling this story
A. Love can treat the terrible sickness. B. Kindness can bring warmth and joy.
C. Health matters to everyone. D. Creativity leads to success.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是篇记叙文。文章讲述了医生Cook为了缓解需要接受放射治疗的孩子们的害怕和焦虑的情绪,利用孩子们喜欢的卡通形象,自制了可爱有趣的治疗必须佩戴的面罩,得到了孩子们的喜爱,也起到了非常好的效果。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Before treatments start, technicians make a white plastic mask (面罩) to keep patients immoveable and protect unaffected parts of the brain while radiation is directed at the tumor.”(在治疗开始之前,技术人员会制作一个白色塑料面罩,让患者无法移动,并在辐射直射肿瘤时保护大脑中未受影响的部分。)可知,使用塑料面罩,是为了保护患者的大脑。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Because the kids are afraid. While the treatment itself isn’t physically painful, it can cause a lot of anxiety (焦虑). ”(因为孩子们害怕。虽然治疗本身不会造成身体上的痛苦,但它会引起很多焦虑。)可知,放射性治疗会引起患者的焦虑,从而感到担忧和害怕。故选C.
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“When new children come in for the treatment, Cook finds out what their favorite movies or cartoon characters are. Then she sets about creating the mask by drawing the image she wants onto paper, sticking it with glue, and once it’s dry, she applies the colors using paints. Each child can take the mask home once the treatment ends.”(当新来的孩子来接受治疗时,Cook会找出他们最喜欢的电影或卡通人物,然后她开始制作面罩,把她想要的图像画在纸上,用胶水粘在纸上,一旦纸干了,她就用颜料涂上颜色。治疗结束后,每个孩子都可以把面罩带回家。)可知,Cook用孩子们喜欢的卡通形象制作面罩,引起了孩子们的兴趣和喜爱,从而使孩子们对治疗不再害怕,帮助孩子们缓解了治疗的焦虑情绪。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Coming to the doctor always means fear and pain. I wanted to make it fun,” she said. “The kids really love it. It’s something they enjoy and can relate to. And it fills an interest I have. I get great pleasure from it.”(“去看医生总是意味着恐惧和痛苦。我想让它变得有趣,”她说。“孩子们真的很喜欢。这是他们喜欢并能产生共鸣的东西。我对它很感兴趣。我从中得到了极大的乐趣。”)及全文内容可知,Cook医生不忍看到孩子们对治疗的恐惧和痛苦,自制了可爱有趣的面罩,成功地帮孩子们减轻了焦虑和痛苦,得到孩子们的喜爱,自己也从中得到了乐趣,由此可见,作者想通过Cook医生的故事告诉读者:善良可以带来温暖和快乐。故选B。

【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要说明了十五只大象正在接近中国城市昆明。在过去的几个月里,它们沿着公路和农场旅行。它们的旅程吸引了中国公众的注意。
【41题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:在缅甸和老挝边境附近的一个自然保护区,这些动物的栖息地距离它们总共有500公里。表示过去发生的动作对现在产生的影响,应用现在完成时,主语为animals,助动词用have。故填have covered。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:它们现在离这座660万人口的城市很近。这里特指昆明这座城市应用定冠词the。故填the。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意:在过去的几个月里,它们沿着公路和农场旅行。此处along highways与through farms是并列关系,应用连词and。故填and。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:专家们正在尽他们所能让大象远离昆明市。结合句意表示“尽一切可能做某事”可知短语为do all one can to do sth.。故填to keep。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他们在沿途设置了屏障,希望能让它们回到自然保护区。分析句子结构可知hope在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语they之间是主动关系,用现在分词作状语。故填hoping。

When I was in Grade 8, my family move to another city, so I had to go to a new school. Being in a unfamiliar place, I felt lonely and frightening. Worse still, some subjects were so difficult to learn from that I had no idea how to adapt to the new environment. My teachers noticed my problems but often encouraged me. With their help, I made some progresses in my lessons. However, it wasn’t easy make friends. My classmates had already known each other. I found it hardly to fit in. My mother suggested that I chatted with them. Following his advice, I soon got a few good friends.
【答案】
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要记叙了作者八岁时搬到一个新环境遇到的困难和周围人提供给作者的帮助,使作者最后学习取得进步,并交到了好朋友。
【详解】1.考查动词时态。句意:当我八年级的时候,我的家人搬到了另一个城市,所以我不得不去一所新的学校。根据上文When I was in Grade 8可知应用一般过去时,故move改为moved。
2.考查冠词。句意:在一个陌生的地方,我感到孤独和害怕。place为可数名词,此处表泛指,unfamiliar为元音音素开头的单词,应用不定冠词an。故a改为an。
3.考查形容词。句意同上。修饰I,指人应用-ed结尾形容词。故frightening改为frightened。
4.考查及物动词。句意:更糟糕的是,有些科目太难学了,我不知道如何适应新的环境。learn为及物动词,可以直接跟宾语,此处指学习科目,故去掉from。
5.考查连词。句意:我的老师注意到我的问题,经常鼓励我。根据上下文语境为承接关系,故but改为and。
6.考查名词的数。句意:在他们的帮助下,我的功课取得了一些进步。固定短语make progress“取得进步”,故progresses改为progress。
7.考查固定句式。句意:然而,交朋友并不容易。固定句式it is not easy to do sth.“做某事不容易”,故easy后添加to。
8.考查形容词。句意:我发现很难适应。短语find it+形容词作宾语补足语,故hardly改为hard。
9.考查虚拟语气。句意:我妈妈建议我和他们聊天。suggest + that从句,表示“建议……”,此时要求that从句使用虚拟语气,即从句的谓语由“(should) + 动词原形”构成,且should可以省略。故chatted改为chat。
10.考查物主代词。句意:按照她的建议,我很快就有了几个好朋友。此处指作者妈妈的建议,故his改为her。
【点睛】后接虚拟语气的常见词
1)在 insist, order, command, suggest, propose, advise, desire, demand, require, request, order, prefer, propose, recommend 等表示“命令,决定,建议”等动词以及由这些动词引申的名词或形容词引导的 that 从句中,要用虚拟语气,其谓语动词形式为 should + 动词原形,其中 should 可以省略,主句中的时态不限。
如第九小题,suggest + that从句,表示“建议……”,此时要求that从句使用虚拟语气,即从句的谓语由“(should) + 动词原形”构成,且should可以省略。故chatted改为chat。
例如:He ordered that all the books be sent at once.
She insisted that she go to the south for her holiday.
2)类似用法的还有 advisable, appropriate, desirable, essential, fitting, imperative, important, impossible, necessary, obligatory, proper 等形容词;decision, decree, demand, instruction, order, requirement, resolution 等名词。其后引导的 that 从句均用虚拟语气,其谓语动词形式为 should + 动词原形,其中 should 可以省略,主句中的时态不限。例如:
It was appropriate that this tax be abolished.
Their decision was that the school remain closed.
3)请注意,当这些词语不是用于表示“命令,决定,建议”的含义时,所引导从句不用虚拟语气。

Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history.

Why should people care Because we need animals. And because once they are gone, there will never be any more.
Animals are more than beautiful or interesting or a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems.
For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks(鹰), the farmers' stores of corn and grain were destroyed by mice. Why Because hawks eat mice. With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the mice multiplied quickly.
Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger.

A young man named John met a senior citizen who had taught him many years before. But the teacher couldn’t recognize him by appearance. John told his teacher a story about how he inspired him to become a teacher.
“One day, a friend of mine entered the classroom with a new nice watch which I admired so much. So, I decided to steal it. Shortly after, my friend found that his watch was gone and immediately complained to his teacher, who was you. Then you went to the classroom and told the class about the lost watch. I wouldn’t give it back to him. Then you closed the door, told all the students to get up and began to search students’ pockets for it one by one. But you asked us to close our eyes. When you went through my pockets, you found the watch and took it. You went on searching everyone’s pockets till you finished finally. You never said anything about the incident, nor even took me aside to give me a moral lesson. But I received your message clearly. It was the most shameful day of my life, but it was also the day my dignity (尊严) was saved and I decided never to become a thief. And thanks to you, I understood what a real educator needs to do.”
John asked the professor if he still remembered the incident. He replied to him honestly, “I do remember the situation, the stolen watch and that I was looking for it in everyone’s pockets, but I didn’t remember you, because I also closed my eyes while searching.”
If to correct, you must make students feel ashamed or stupid and lose the respect of other people, you don’t know how to teach yet.

Whether you’re travelling to the islands or the mountains of Thailand you’re likely to spend at least one night in its capital city on the way. Bangkok might be noisy and polluted but it’s also an exciting city with plenty of things to see and do. Why not make it a longer stay
Where to stay
The Khao San Road was a famous traveller spot even before Leonardo di Caprio’s character in the film The Beach stayed there. But it’s noisy, not very pretty and not very Thai. For something more authentic, Phra Kanong offers an alternative place to stay, with its fantastic street markets where every day Bangkok people eat, work and live. It’s not as convenient for the main tourist sites as the Khao San Road, but it has a Skytrain station so you can be at the Grand Palace in 20 minutes.
How to get around
Bangkok’s traffic can be a nightmare. Sure, you can easily take a taxi --- if you want to spend hours stuck in traffic jams---but there are two much better ways to get around the city. To explore the temples and historical sites, catch an express boat river taxi or a long tail boat along the Chao Phraya river and the canals. For the modern part of the city, the Skytrain is a fast, cheap way to travel from the river to the shopping malls and nightlife of Sukhumvit and the famous Chatuchak street market.
Where to eat
The simple answer is: everywhere! Thai street food is among the best in the world, and for around $5 you can eat a filling and delicious meal. Some food stands have little plastic seats where you can sit and eat and they cook the same dish over and over, like fried chicken on rice or Pad Thai noodles. Head for Chinatown --- Yaowarat Street --- and choose whatever looks most interesting from the many excellent Chinese and Thai restaurants and food stands.
9. Where do local Thai people often go
A. Khao San Road. B. Phra Kanong. C. Chao Phraya. D. Grand Palace.
10. Taking______ is a faster way to see the modern part of Bangkok.
A. a taxi. B. a bus. C. a boat. D. the Skytrain.
11. Which of the following is true according to the text
A. One night is enough time to see Bangkok.
B. Khao San Road is an authentic Thai area of the city.
C. Phra Kanong is further away from the main tourist sites than Khao San Road is.
D. You need to choose where to eat carefully, as not everywhere is good.
D
School had just started in August when Conner began throwing up for no reason. It wasn’t long before the boy also began suffering terrible headaches. In February a 1.7-inch tumor was found in his brain and Conner was set to begin to receive radiation (放射疗法) treatments. Before treatments start, technicians make a white plastic mask (面罩) to keep patients immoveable and protect unaffected parts of the brain while radiation is directed at the tumor.
It’s an unpleasant experience and a frightening time. The doctor Cook decided that the masks could at least be made to look like something fun—maybe Batman or Mickey Mouse. “I started thinking these masks are white and not fun at all for kids,” she told The Greenville News. “I felt like if we could make them a little more fun for them, they might be a little more excited about coming in for the treatment. Because the kids are afraid. While the treatment itself isn’t physically painful, it can cause a lot of anxiety (焦虑). And the treatment is required daily for up to six weeks.”
And the masks really make a difference. “The kids really like them,” Cook said. “It makes what is, let’s face it, a terrible experience, a nice experience because they get to choose something themselves.”
When new children come in for the treatment, Cook finds out what their favorite movies or cartoon characters are. Then she sets about creating the mask by drawing the image she wants onto paper, sticking it with glue, and once it’s dry, she applies the colors using paints. Each child can take the mask home once the treatment ends.
“Coming to the doctor always means fear and pain. I wanted to make it fun,” she said. “The kids really love it. It’s something they enjoy and can relate to. And it fills an interest I have. I get great pleasure from it.”
12. Why is the plastic mask used according to paragraph 1
A. To protect the brain. B. To speed the treatment.
C To reduce the headache. D. To help with a health check.
13. What can we know about the radiation treatment
A. It can be received at home. B. It will cause huge physical pain.
C. It may make the patients feel worried. D. It needs to be completed in a month.
14. What does Cook do to help the children being treated
A. Show them their favorite movies.
B. Offer them some free masks as gifts.
C. Dress them up as cartoon characters.
D. Make the masks more interesting to kids.
15. What does the author want to show by telling this story
A. Love can treat the terrible sickness. B. Kindness can bring warmth and joy.
C. Health matters to everyone. D. Creativity leads to success.
