34、ts as a World Natural Heritage in 2007.”可知,C项正确。BTo me,Shakespeare is a bit of a touchy subject in the theatre industry.I believe Shakespeares plays to be the most challenging in terms of language.When you have challenging language,then understanding the plot and topics discussed becomes a challenge

35、 as well.Its like a chain.If you dont understand it from the start,it makes things hard later on and people tend to give up on it.Regardless of all of this,I believe Shakespeares plays are important in the sense that they are where true theatre started.William Shakespeare is a name everyone knows re

36、gardless of whether you enjoy his work or not.Many high schools or colleges do at least one Shakespeares play every few years and I like that.I think its important to expose students to plays that are a bit more challenging than theyre used to.Of course,its not easy to understand these plays but the

37、n think about the people who act in those plays.When acting,you have to understand your character inside and out and not only that,but you need to completely know everything going on around you as well.So to understand the script is one thing,but then to take it to that next level in terms of acting

38、 in a Shakespeares play is a whole other thing.How about memorizing the lines?Thats one of the hardest things actors have said they had to get through.It is such heightened language that its almost like learning a foreign language.Shakespeares play is tough and thats what I think I love about it the

39、 most.The challenge is understanding.Once you have that then you have room to play with it.Therefore,if people walked into a Shakespeares play with more of an open mind,their experience would be so much better.There is an immense amount of exploration and discovery in his plays and the experience ca

40、n be really satisfying.Its hard stuff,but its fascinating and we should be embracing it.【语篇解读】本文讲的是尽管莎士比亚剧本中的语言因很难理解而极具挑战性,但学生们欣赏莎士比亚的戏剧仍是非常重要的,同时作者也谈到了欣赏莎士比亚戏剧的方法。24.Whats the main idea of the passage?A.The characteristics of Shakespeares plays.B.How to perform Shakespeares plays successfully.C.The

41、 importance and way of enjoying Shakespeares plays.D.How to understand the tough language of Shakespeares plays.答案C解析主旨大意题。本文讲的是学生们欣赏莎士比亚戏剧重要性以及方法,第一段开篇引出话题,第一段中“Regardless of all of this,I believe Shakespeares plays are important in the sense that they are where true theatre started”点明主题,第二段作者用“I t

42、hink its important to expose students to plays that are a bit more challenging than theyre used to”这句进一步谈自己的观点并以演员排练莎士比亚戏剧为例对自己观点进行佐证,最后作者谈如何欣赏莎剧。故选C项。25.Whats the biggest challenge in understanding Shakespeares plays?A.The plot and topics.B.The challenging language.C.Understanding the characters.D.

43、How to understand from the start.答案B解析细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知,作者相信从语言方面讲,莎士比亚戏剧是最具有挑战性的。故选B项。26.What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 2?A.Outstanding and lively.B.Strange and mechanical.C.Complicated and difficult.D.High-leveled and interesting.答案C解析词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句子中“that its almost like learning

44、a foreign language”可知,莎士比亚的语言就像是外语,且后句中进一步说“Shakespeares play is tough”。故可推知,heightened应该是复杂困难的意思。故选C项。27.What does the writer suggest you do when enjoying Shakespeares plays?A.Act them out.B.Remember the lines in them.C.Learn Shakespeares language.D.Enjoy them with an open mind.答案D解析细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句

45、可知,如果人们以一种开放的心态进入莎剧,那么他们的体验就好很多。故选D项。CIn the 19th century,an Arab physician known as Zuhr Ibn conducted some animal research to assess the surgical procedures that could be applicable in humans.Since then,animal testing has been considered to be the most efficient way to develop new drugs.New medica

46、l treatments and drugs are tested in animals first to determine their effectiveness or safety levels before they are finally tested on humans.However,it remains controversial whether it is morally right or wrong to use animals for medical or commercial experiments.Use of animals for medical purposes

47、 is seen to be necessary by many scientists.Researchers usually begin their trials using rats.If the tests are successful,further tests are done on monkeys before using human beings.For testing,such tiered(分层的) rounds are important because it reduces the level of error and any negative side effects.

48、Some argue that animal testing has contributed to many life-saving cures and treatments and there is no adequate alternative to testing on a living,whole-body system.Moreover,there are regulations for animal testing that limit the misuse of animals during research,which serves as evidence that anima

49、ls are well taken care of and treated well instead of being intentionally harmed.However,some other experts and animal welfare groups have opposed such practice,terming it as inhumane(不人道的) and claiming it should be banned.According to Humane Society International,animals used in experiments are com

50、monly subjected to force feeding,radiation exposure,operations to deliberately cause damage and frightening situations to create depression and anxiety.They also hold the view that animals are very different from human beings and therefore make poor test subjects.Drugs that pass animal tests are not

51、 necessarily safe.Animal tests on the arthritis(关节炎) drug Vioxx showed that it would have a protective effect on the hearts of mice,yet the drug went on to cause more than 27,000 heart attacks before being pulled from the market.Its safe to say that using animals for tests will continue to be debate

52、d in many years to come.Despite the benefits of animal testing,some of the animal welfare organisations concerns need to be addressed with adequate regulations to ensure that animals are treated humanely.【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。文章指出动物用于医学或商业实验在道德上是对还是错仍然存在争议,一方面如今其他的检测方法可能无法替代对动物的需求,许多科学家认为把动物用于医疗目的是必要的;而另一方面

53、,一些专家和动物福利组织反对这种做法,他们认为这种做法不人道,应该被禁止。可以肯定地说,在未来的许多年里,使用动物进行试验的争论将继续存在。28.Why is animal testing considered necessary?A.Because rats are more similar to humans than monkeys.B.Because other testing alternatives may not replace the need for animals.C.Because animal testing can spare humans any side effe

54、ct.D.Because animal testing has been in practice since the 19th century.答案B解析细节理解题。根据第二段中“Some argue that animal testing has contributed to many life-saving cures and treatments and there is no adequate alternative to testing on a living,whole-body system.”可知一些人认为,动物实验已经为许多拯救生命的治疗方法做出了贡献,目前还没有足够的方法来

55、替代活体全身系统的测试。由此可知,动物实验被认为是必要的,因为其他的检测方法可能无法替代对动物的需求。故选B项。29.What suffering do animals go through during experiments?A.Eating poisonous food.B.Being killed deliberately.C.Breathing in polluted air.D.Having unnecessary operations.答案D解析细节理解题。根据第三段中“According to Humane Society International,animals used

56、in experiments are commonly subjected to force feeding,radiation exposure,operations to deliberately cause damage and frightening situations to create depression and anxiety.”可知据国际人道协会称,用于实验的动物通常会遭受强制喂食、辐射暴露、故意造成伤害的手术,以及造成抑郁和焦虑的可怕情况。由此可知,动物在实验中经历了不必要的手术痛苦。故选D项。30.What does the example Vioxx in parag

57、raph 3 tell us?A.Arthritis is hard to cure.B.Some drugs need to be withdrawn from the market.C.Animals cannot necessarily produce accurate results.D.A drug should be tested many more times before its release.答案C解析细节理解题。根据第三段中“Animal tests on the arthritis drug Vioxx showed that it would have a prote

58、ctive effect on the hearts of mice,yet the drug went on to cause more than 27,000 heart attacks before being pulled from the market.”可知关节炎药物Vioxx的动物试验显示,它对老鼠的心脏有保护作用,但这种药物在被撤市前导致了逾2.7万例心脏病发作。由此可知,第三段中的例子Vioxx告诉了我们动物不一定能产生准确的结果。故选C项。31.What action will the author probably agree with?A.Experts try har

59、d to determine whether animal tests are harmful.B.The authorities issue a new law to guarantee animal rights during research.C.Scientists reduce the number of animals used in research.D.Relevant organisations show more concern about the animals welfare.答案B解析推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Despite the benefits of anim

60、al testing,some of the animal welfare organisations concerns need to be addressed with adequate regulations to ensure that animals are treated humanely.”可知尽管动物试验有好处,一些动物福利组织的担忧需要通过适当的法规来解决,以确保动物得到人道对待。由此可推知,作者可能会同意当局颁布一项新法律以保证研究期间的动物权利。故选B项。DContrary to popular belief,cultivating honey for human con

61、sumption isnt just a matter of letting bees “do what they do” and reaping the benefits.Although the creation of honey is a natural process,humans extract far more honey from bees than they would otherwise create naturally.As a result,bees can suffer during all stages of industrialized honey producti

62、on.Honey is created when bees suck the nectar out of a flower,regurgitate it,and process it with other bees back at the hive.In their natural states,they use this honey as a food source during winter.But on honey farms,beekeepers take that honey and replace it with a cheap sugar substitute one thats

63、 insufficient to meet honeybees nutritional needs.As a result,honeybees die of over-exhaustion attempting to reproduce the honey that they require;others die of starvation or malnutrition,while others develop weakened immune systems and contract diseases.Moreover,the negative consequences of industr

64、ial honey production extend far beyond the bees themselves.The honey industry also intensifies an existing problem,a rather catastrophic one that has the potential to wreak havoc not only on bees,but on humanity itself.As environmentalists often note,worldwide bee populations are in decline.Because

65、of the crucial ecological role that bees play in food production,this decline is nothing short of an existential threat to human beings long-term food supply.It would be natural to assume that honey farming en masse,by cultivating and maintaining constant populations of honeybees,is part of the solu

66、tion.But its not.In fact,its part of the problem.So,its really time for us to see the world anew!【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。作者在文章中针对工业化生产蜂蜜这个现象进行了分析,认为工业生产蜂蜜的负面影响远远超出了蜜蜂本身。蜂蜜行业也加剧了一个现存的问题,这是一个相当灾难性的问题,它不仅有可能对蜜蜂造成严重破坏,而且会对人类本身造成严重破坏。作者不支持工业生产蜂蜜,还呼唤人们保护蜜蜂。32.How many causes are mentioned about the death of honeybe

67、es?A.2.B.3.C.4.D.5.答案B解析细节理解题。根据第二段中“As a result,honeybees die of over-exhaustion attempting to reproduce the honey that they require;others die of starvation or malnutrition,while others develop weakened immune systems and contract diseases.”可知文章提到这三种蜜蜂死亡的原因。故选B项。33.What does the underlined word “i

68、ntensifies” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Causes.B.Solves.C.Worsens.D.Avoids.答案C解析词义猜测题。根据第三段中画线词所在句“The honey industry also intensifies an existing problem,a rather catastrophic one that has the potential to wreak havoc not only on bees,but on humanity itself.”可知,蜂蜜行业也加剧了一个现存的问题,这是一个相当灾难性的问题,它不仅有可

69、能对蜜蜂造成严重破坏,而且会对人类本身造成严重破坏。根据“这是一个相当灾难性的问题”可以猜测出画线词intensifies意为“加剧,恶化”。故选C项。34.What is the authors attitude towards industrial honey production?A.Disapproving.B.Uncaring.C.Positive.D.Doubtful.答案A解析推理判断题。根据第三段中“Moreover,the negative consequences of industrial honey production extend far beyond the be

70、es themselves.”可知,作者是不支持工业生产蜂蜜的。故选A项。35.Why did the author write the article?A.To introduce popular belief.B.To explain the creation process of honey.C.To raise peoples awareness of protecting honeybees.D.To show the conflicts between beekeepers and honeybees.答案C解析推理判断题。根据第三段中“It would be natural to

71、 assume that honey farming en masse,by cultivating and maintaining constant populations of honeybees,is part of the solution.But its not.In fact,its part of the problem.So,its really time for us to see the world anew!”可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是唤起人们保护蜜蜂的意识。故选C项。第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最

72、佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Talking to yourself may seem a little shameful.According to the well-known saying,talking to yourself is the first sign of madness.36 Talking to ourselves,whether out loud or silently in our heads,is a valuable tool for thought.Far from being mentally ill,self-talk allows us to plan

73、what we are going to do,manage our activities,regulate our emotions and even create a description of our experience.37As children,according to the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky,we use private speech to regulate our actions in the same way that we use public speech to control the behaviour of oth

74、ers.38 Psychological experiments have shown that the private speech can improve our performance on tasks ranging from judging what other people are thinking to sorting images into categories.One recent study suggested that self-talk is most effective when we address ourselves in the second person,as

75、 “you” rather than “I”.39 If you want proof,turn on the sports channel.Youre certain to see an athlete or two cheering themselves up with a bitter phrase or scolding themselves after a bad shot.Conduct a dialogue with ourselves.40 The private speech seems to be a particularly good way of solving pro

76、blems and working through ideas.The to-and-fro between different points of view means our thoughts can end up in expected places,just like a regular dialogue can,and might turn out to be one of the keys to human creativity.A.What is private speech?B.But there is no need for embarrassment.C.Psycholog

77、ists refer to this as the private speech.D.Ask questions of the self and provide answers.E.We do a lot of private speech when we are young.F.As we grow older,we dont abandon this systemwe internalize it.G.Although the private speech is effective,we never entirely put away the out-loud speech.答案与解析【语

78、篇解读】这是一篇说明文。自言自语似乎显得有点丢人。自言自语非但不代表精神失常,而且恰恰相反,它有助于我们规划要做的事情和管控自己的各种活动和情绪,甚至还能创作一段关于自己经历的故事。36.B根据上文“用人们熟知的话来说,自言自语是变疯的第一迹象。”以及空格后“自言自语无论是大声说出还是在心中默念都很有价值,是思考的一种工具。” 得知空格处表示转折,尽管大家以为自言自语不好,但你不必感到尴尬。故选B项。37.C根据上文“自言自语有助于我们规划要做的事情和管控自己的各种活动和情绪,甚至还能创作一段关于自己经历的故事。” 得知空格处表示总结:心理学家将这种行为称作自言自语。故选C项。38.F根据下文

79、“心理学实验已经表明,这种所谓的自言自语可以提高我们处理一些事情的能力,比如从判断别人在想什么,到把图片分门别类。” 得知空格处表示过渡:随着我们年龄的增长,我们并没有放弃这个体系我们把它内化了。故选F项。39.G根据下文举例“打开体育频道,你一定会看到有那么一两个运动员在对自己说着鼓劲的话,或是在没投中球后狠狠地责备自己。” 得知空格处表示转折:但我们却从未完全放弃大声说出的方式。故选G项。40.D根据空上文“与自己进行对话。” 得知空格处承接上文表示:向自己提问并回答。故选D项。第三部分语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、

80、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。It was a 41 January day.When I left home for the office,the weather report said,“Windy and cold,but no rain.” 42,by the time I was about to leave work in the early evening,it was absolutely 43!My office was close to the bus stop,so I just 44 out of the door and onto the bus.

95、句意和句子结构可知,此处应用that代指上文的The situation,故填that。57.natural考查形容词。此处应用nature的形容词修饰名词causes,故填natural。58.totally考查副词。此处应用total的副词修饰形容词different,故填totally。59.are (being) killed考查时态和语态。此处是原因状语从句的谓语动词,由前文的is判断为一般现在时,主语species和kill之间是逻辑上的被动关系,故用一般现在时的被动语态,也可以用现在进行时的被动语态,主语是复数,故填are (being) killed。60.the考查冠词。fi

96、ttest为fit的最高级形式,前面须用定冠词the,故填the。61.worse考查形容词比较级。此处应填形容词作为get的表语,由better判断用比较形式,故填worse。62.disappearing考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处是非谓语动词作后置定语,species和disappear是逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词作后置定语,故填disappearing。63.before考查介词。句意:在人类之前,这些动植物就在地球上生活很久了,我们无权杀掉他们。结合句意可知,此处考查介词before“之前”,故填before。64.to die考查短语。此处考查短语allow sth/

97、sb to do sth“允许某人/某物做某事”,故填to die。65.ourselves考查代词。句意:事实上,我们自身也变得岌岌可危。结合句意可知,此处用反身代词ourselves,表示强调,故填ourselves。第四部分写作(共两节,满分40分)第一节(满分15分)假定你是李华,你校将举行“读书节” ,请你写封邮件邀请在你校学习的Tony参加。内容包括:1.目的和时间;2.活动(交换书籍,西方文学讲座,中国诗歌朗诵比赛等)。注意:1.词数80左右;信的开头已经写好;2.可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。参考词汇: 读书节Reading Festival交换exchange文学litera
