12、at”“As an alternative consider checking into a selfcatering flat with its own kitchen.A great example is.(作为另一种选择，你可以考虑入住一个有厨房的自助公寓。历史悠久的ONeill Flat就是一个很好的例子)”可以推断，有一些旅馆能够提供有厨房的公寓，而ONeill Flat拥有自己的厨房，可以为游客提供烹饪设施。故选C。BThere is a very instructive incident involving the life of Alexander, the great Gre

13、ek king. Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Alexander realized how his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence. So, he lay helplessly

14、 waiting to breathe his last. He called his generals and said, I will depart from this world soon, I have three wishes, please carry them out without fail.My first desire is that, said Alexander, My physicians alone must carry my coffin. After a pause, he continued, Secondly, I desire that when my c

15、offin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be strewn（撒满） with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected. The king continued， My third and last wish is that both my hands be kept hanging out of my coffin.” Alexanders favorite general kissed his hand and press

16、ed them to his heart. Oh King, we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled. But tell us why do you make such strange wishes?At this Alexander took a deep breath and said, “I would like the world to know of the three lessons I have just learnt. I want my physicians to carry my coffin because

17、 people should realize that no doctor can really cure any body. They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death. So let people not take life for granted.The second wish of strewing gold, silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell people that not even a bit

18、of gold will come with me. I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me. Let people realize that it is just a waste of time to chase wealth.And about my third wish of having my hands hanging out of the coffin, I wish people to know that I came empty-handed into this world and

19、empty-handed I go out of this world.” With these words, the king closed his eyes. Soon he let death conquer him and breathed his last.4.

20、 as he came empty-handed.D. regarded his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth as the most important things.5.

The Death of Alexander.B. The Greed of AlexanderC. Three Wishes of AlexanderD. The Life of Alexander【答案】

22、4. B 5. C 6. B 7. C【解析】本文是记叙文。主要讲述了亚历山大大帝死前的三个愿望和他想通过这三个愿望传递给人们的启示【4题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段的“Alexander realized his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence.(亚历山大意识到他的征服，他的伟大军队，他的锋利的剑和他所有的财富都并不重要)”可推断，第一段表明，亚历山大大帝在临死的时候，意识到他一生中所取得的东西对他来说毫无意义，故B项正确。【5题详解】词义猜测题。根据上一

23、句“ I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor can really cure any body. (我想让我的医生抬着我的棺材，因为人们应该意识到没有医生能真正治愈身体。)”，划线句的they指代上文提到的doctors，利用代入法可知划线句句意为：他们是无能为力的，无法从死亡的控制中拯救一个人，故划线词词义为：控制。分析选项sentence“判决”；attention“注意”；control“控制”；shadow“阴影”。故C项正确。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第

24、一段的第一句话“There is a very instructive incident involving the life of Alexander, the great Greek king. (有一个非常有教育意义的事件，涉及亚历山大，伟大的希腊国王的生活。 )”以及下文内容可可推断，作者目的是向读者介绍亚历山大的有教育意义的教训。故B项正确。【7题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段的“There is a very instructive incident involving the life of Alexander, the great Greek king.(有一个非常有教育意义的事

25、件，涉及亚历山大，伟大的希腊国王的生活。 )”和“I have three wishes(我有三个愿望)”并结合下文内容可知，本文主要讲述了亚历山大大帝死前的三个愿望和他想通过这三个愿望传递给人们的启示，因此推断C项“亚历山大的三个愿望”为最佳标题。故C项正确。CThe idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly. Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid-we

26、 simply weigh too much, and all our mass pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus, a lizard (蜥蜴)native to Central and So

27、uth America. It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the waters surface with its feet. The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans to do this, we，d need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears i

28、n order to create adequate w hitting. But fortunately there is an alternative: cornflour. By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a “non-Newtonian” liquid that doesnt behave like normal water. Now, if the surface of the water is hit hard eno

29、ugh, particles(粒子）in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick Liquid of cornflour.Fun though all this may sound, its still rather messy and better read ab

It can run across water at a certain speed.D. Its unique skin keeps it from getting wet in water.10. What is the

32、 function of the cornflour according to the passage?A. To create a thick liquid.B. To turn the water into solid.C. To help the liquid behave normally.D. To enable the water to move rapidly.11. What is the authors attitude toward the idea of humans walking on water?A. It is risky but beneficial.B. It

33、 is interesting and worth trying.C. It is crazy and cannot become a reality.D. It is impractical though theoretically possible.【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。人类有一个一直感兴趣但一直未能实现的愿望：水上行走。不能实现的原因是“生物性局限”。本文主要介绍了一种理论上可行实际上难以实现的人类水上行走的方法：借助玉米粉（cornflour）增加水面浓度。【8题详解】细节理解题。从第一段Sadly, biological

34、facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid 可知，人类至今不能在水面行走是“生物”原因。选择B。【9题详解】细节理解题。从第二段It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the waters surface with its feet.一句可知，这种蜥蜴能在水面行走是因为速度快（每秒钟达到20步）。选择 C。【10题详解】细节理解题。第三段th

35、is common thickening agent明确这是一种“常见的增稠剂”。选择A。【11题详解】推理判断题。从第二段it does take a lot，最后一段its still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice. 等句推断，借助增稠剂实现人类在水面行走，理论上可行但真正实现很难做到。选择D项。【点睛】根据文章中提供的一些事实，再加上自己的常识，透过表面可以看到事物的本质，从而做出合理准确的判断。比如第11.小题，推断题。从第二段it does take a lot，最后

36、一段its still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice. 等句推断，借助增稠剂实现人类在水面行走，理论上可行但真正实现很难做到。选择D项。DBaby bats learn language from peers (同伴) in their social group, and will adopt the groups dialect, or accent, instead of their mothers, researcher said on Tuesday.The findi

37、ngs shed new light on crowd-learning of language, a skill thought to belong mainly to humans and just a few other mammals. It also shows that bats are different from songbirds, which tend to learn songs by copying one of their parents. “The ability to copy vocalizations (发音) from others is extremely

38、 important for speech learning in humans, but its believed to be rare among animals”, said lead author Yossi Yovel of Tel Aviv University.For the study, researchers captured 14 pregnant Egyptian fruit bats. They separated them into three different bat social groups, where they raised the young bats

39、with their mothers. Each bat group was exposed to a different recording of bat vocalizations.“The baby bats all adopted the manner of vocalizing of the group they heard, not their mothers. The difference between the vocalizations of the mother bat and those of the group is comparable to the differen

40、ce in a London accent and, say, a Scottish accent,” Yovel said.“The babies heard their mothers London dialect, but also heard the Scottish dialect produced by many dozens of Scottish bats. The babies eventually adopted a dialect that was more similar to the local Scottish dialect than to the London

Baby bats.C. Researchers.D. Mother bats.15. What will the future study most probably focus on?A. How bats adopt a n

44、ew dialect after entering a new social group.B. Whether bats leave their social group if they change their accents.C. Why some bats fail to be accepted in a new group after they are born.D. What changes might occur to bats accent after entering a new social group.【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. D【解析】【分析】本

78、我们自己，也有利于我们的家庭、社区和我们人类生活的整个世界。Afriends朋友；Bfamilies家庭；Ccountries国家；Dunions协会。根据上文“how I parent my kid”可知，这本书教会我如何教育我的孩子，可推断出书中提到的两者的完美结合也有利于我们的家庭。故选B项。【35题详解】考查固定短语。句意：作为一名老师，我真的很期待能发挥我的作用。Aplaying玩耍；Bforming形成；Ctaking拿走；Dknowing知道。句中指我想发挥自己的作用，来帮助学生发现天赋，“play ones part”意为“起作用，做份内的事情”，为固定短语，符合语境。故选A项

79、。【点睛】完形填空的解题技巧之一就是上下文推理法。“上下文推理法”是指根据对上下文的语义和整个语篇的理解，进行适当的推理判断，因此需重点注意挖空处的上下文语境，判断清楚所要表达的含义。例如，第4小题要求推断出找到自己的天赋对我们的什么有好处？根据空格后“but for the improvement of our communities”中的关键词“improvement”可推断出，句中指的是我们社区的“改善”和我们自己的“发展”，development意为“发展”，符合语境。故选D项。第二节 语篇填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填写1个适当的单词或括号内单

80、词的正确形式。The Italian dinners we had every Sunday when I was a boy were feasts fit for a king. There were _36_ (loaf) of Italian bread ready to be eaten. They were great _37_ butter and even better when you dipped them in the sauce. My grandma,_38_ we called “Nanny”, would always bake them a day ahead

81、so they would be ready. I remember watching her hand make the dough (面团). I would often ask to help but only _39_ I wanted to have a bite of the dough before she placed it in the pans to bake. One day I _40_ (fool) asked Nanny why she didnt just buy bread at the store _41_ (save) time. “Because they

82、re not as good,” she said in her thick Italian accent. Then she laughed, smiled, and gave me a piece of dough to eat.Nanny was right. Today I buy my bread at _42_ store and it isnt as good. It is factory-made and _43_ (lack) all the taste, warmth, and love that Nanny put into _44_. Store-bought happ

83、iness is a sad substitute for homemade joy. If you want _45_ (last) love, permanent peace, and endless joy, then you have to bake them on your own.【答案】36. loaves 37. with 38. whom/who 39. because/when 40. foolishly 41. to save 42. the 43. lacks 44. hers 45. lasting【解析】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述作者小时候吃奶奶做的美味的面包。现在，

84、店里的面包没有那么好吃，因为里面缺少了奶奶的爱的味道。【36题详解】考查名词的复数。句意：有几条意大利面包可以吃。根据该空前面的were可知，该空填loaf的复数形式loaves。故填loaves。【37题详解】考查介词。句意：它们与黄油一起很好吃，当你把它们蘸在酱汁里时，效果会更好。根据句意中“和（黄油）一起”，介词with意为“和一起”，故填with。【38题详解】考查定语从句。句意：我的奶奶，我们叫她“Nanny”，总是提前一天把它们烤好，这样就准备好它们了。分析句子结构可知，这是一个定语从句，先行词是My grandma，且在从句中充当宾语，因此用关系代词whom或者who引导定语从句

85、。故填whom/ who。【39题详解】考查连词。句意：我经常要求帮忙，但只是因为我想先咬一口面团，在她把面团放到平底锅之前；或者为：我经常要求帮忙，但只是当我想先咬一口面团的时候，在她把面团放到平底锅之前。分析句意可知，改空处可以翻译为“因为（because）”或者“当时候(when)”，当该空为because时，because后引导原因状语从句，当该空为when时，when后引导的是时间状语从句，二者皆可，都符合句意。故填because/when。【40题详解】考查副词。句意：有一天，我愚蠢地问奶奶为什么她不在店里买面包来节省时间。副词foolishly意为“愚蠢地”，修饰动词asked作

86、状语。故填foolishly。【41题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：有一天，我愚蠢地问奶奶为什么她不在店里买面包来节省时间。分析句意可知，“节省时间”是目的，因此该空可用动词不定时to save time作目的状语。故填to save。【42题详解】考查冠词。今天我在店里买的面包，并不太好。根据上文可知，该句中的store上文“why she didnt just buy bread at the store”已提到，因此该处表示特指，要用定冠词the修饰store。故填the。【43题详解】考查动词。句意：它是工厂制造的，缺乏奶奶注入的品味、温暖和爱。根据and连接两个句子时态保持一致，is和

87、lack都要用一般现在时态，因主语it是单数三称，谓语动词也要用单数三人称形式lacks。故填lacks。【44题详解】考查物主代词。句意：它是工厂制造的，缺乏奶奶注入她的面包的那种所有味道、温暖和爱。根据该空前动词短语put into（注入），其后接名词作宾语，再根据句意可知，该空填名词性物主代词hers，相当于her bread。故填hers。【45题详解】考查形容词。句意：如果你想要持久的爱，永久的和谐和无尽的快乐，那么你必须自己烤。根据句意，形容词lasting，意为“持久的”修饰名词love作定语。故填lasting。第三部分 写作 ( 共两节，满分40分 ) 第一节 （满分15分）
