19、 in 1988. Covering an area of more than 33,800 square km, it is home to one of the worlds most weak ecosystems(生态系统).Kelsang, deputy director of the reserves administration, said ordinary tourists are allowed to visit areas around Rongbu Monastery, almost 5,000 meters above sea level.

Scholars claimed there was no evidence that the lessonsin which babies are taught simple gestures to communicate their everyday needsenab

27、le children to talk quicker than others.In a three-year study, it was claimed that the method could make mothers more responsive to their childrens behaviors but failed to actually increase babies vocabulary. An active home environment in which parents regularly talk to their children was much more

28、effective, researchers warned. The findings will cast doubt on the movementborn in the United Stateswhich has proved hugely popular among middle-class parents.Baby signing is now a multi-million pound industry, with thousands of mothers and fathers paying for classes, books and DVDs. Young children

29、are taught simple gestures for words and phrases to communicate their everyday needs, such as “milk” “more” “all gone” “food” and “tired”. It is claimed that the technique brings great benefits, including improving the relationship between mother and child, helping language development and even incr

30、easing a childs intelligence.But research from Hertfordshire University has found no evidence that using baby signing helps to improve their language development. The scholars added, “Baby signing has become big business and mothers, particularly first-time mums or less confident parents, feel the p

31、ressure to do it. Some even think if I dont do it and everyone else does, I must be a bad mother.”Nevertheless, baby signing experts barely sustained the findings. Wendy Moat, 45, who has been running baby signing classes for three years, said that the classes encouraged speech development, and migh

32、t help develop a higher IQ. She said, “So many mums say that their children talk so well because they did baby signing when they were babies. Parents wouldnt say it if they didnt believe it.”12.Which of the following may help improve childrens language skills?A.Using simple words and phrases.B.Talki

33、ng to them as much as possible.C.Buying them more books and DVDs.D.Creating a serious home environment.13.According to Paragraph 4, some new mothers choose baby signing classes in that .A.they are influenced by othersB.they are sure of the effects of themC.they dont want to be looked down uponD.they

36、cant. I made an interesting discovery. This difference may at first look obvious, but the fact is quite the opposite. 16Everyone has a purpose behind their actions. If they dont, they wouldnt take action.17 When they take action, at the back of their minds they think about the success that this acti

37、on is going to bring them.18 Whats the purpose behind your actions? Do you work to thrive (蓬勃发展) or to survive? Do you go to work to feed your family or to create an amazing lifestyle?Different purposes will result in completely different life experiences. People who work to survive are the ones who

38、 fear that some unexpected bill will arrive. They go to bed worrying about money and unimportant things. They hate their employment but dont quit because they doubt their own ability to create something greater. I know this kind of feeling because I was like that once. Thats a very uncomfortable sta

The flashes of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lees watch really DID have something magic.The next day,

62、时,他们将支付185+15+14=119美元。故选C。3.C细节理解题。根据A Special on Friday Afternoon部分最后一句Every dollar you give supports our work in caring for animals at the aquarium. (你捐出的每一美元都将用于支持我们在水族馆照顾动物的工作。)可知,捐款的用途是照顾水族馆的动物。A项“帮助有需要的人”、B项“帮助残疾游客”以及D项“帮助挽救世界上的濒危动物”均未提及。故选C。【高频词汇】1.diverse adj.不同的;多种多样的2.reservation n.预订3.in

63、 advance of提前;预先4.admission n.入场费5.due to因为,由于6.exhibition n.表演7.accessible adj.可使用的B语篇解读本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Josh Morrison梦想筹集100,000美元,为低收入家庭建造家园,经过他多年的努力,梦想终于实现了。4.D推理判断题。文章第二段讲述了六年前,Josh提出四年的筹资期限,许多人怀疑他是否能达到100,000美元的目标,但这并没有动摇他的信念,他开始到处筹资。由此可以看出Josh是坚定的,不可动摇的,因此用determined(坚定的)最恰当。故选D。A项“小心的”,B项“坦率的”,

64、C项“思想开明的”,均不符合题意。5.A细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的Four months before his deadline.The event raised $19,000.可知,在最后期限的前4个月,他仍缺少30,000美元,于是他决定在Uxbridge举办Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner,目的是实现他的目标,即筹集100,000美元。故选A。6.A推理判断题。根据文章第四段可知,Josh的筹资梦想实现了,并且他决定要做更多,由此可推测画线部分表示“他收到持续的捐款”。故选A。B项“他的项目变得更受欢迎了”以及C项“他从他的家庭得到更多的支持

65、”,在文中均未出现。此外,由第四段内容可知Josh在截止日期前筹集到134,000美元,比预期的100,000美元要多,但是并不是画线部分所指内容,故D项“结果超出了预期”不符合题意。7.B主旨大意题。根据文章第一段可知文章主要讲述了Josh Morrison梦想筹集100,000美元,为低收入家庭建造家园,他的梦想最终实现。B项符合文章主题,而且有新意,故选B。【高频词汇】1.challenge n. & v.挑战2.deadline n.最后期限3.construction n.建设4.volunteer n.志愿者v.自愿做5.achieve v.取得,实现C语篇解读本文是一篇新闻报道,

66、西藏自治区政府否认网传“珠峰景区永久关闭”的不实消息,并表示西藏珠峰保护区将继续有条件开放。8.A词义猜测题。根据a report.caused a universal misunderstanding可推知,一篇声称世界最高峰大本营因污染严重而永久关闭的报道在网上疯传,引起了普遍的误解,由此可知,画线词词义为“疯传”。B项“封锁”、C项“泄露”以及D项“迅速上升,猛增”均不符合文章原意。故A项正确。9.B推理判断题。根据第四段中的ordinary tourists are allowed to visit areas around Rongbu Monastery, almost 5,000

67、 meters above sea level. As for travelers who have a climbing permit, they can go to the base camp at an altitude of 5,200 meters. The mountaineering activities have been permitted by the regional forestry department.可知,普通游客可以参观海拔5,000米的绒布寺周边地区,对于有登山许可证的游客,可参观海拔5,200米的大本营,登山活动已得到地区林业部门的批准,由此可知,去大本营的

68、游客必须有登山许可。A项“大多数游客都可以参观大本营”、C项“近来不允许登山活动”以及D项“5,200米以上的区域对所有人开放”均不符合Kelsang这段话的意思。故B项正确。10.D细节理解题。根据第五段中的To conserve the environment surrounding Mount Qomolangma, China carried out three major clean-ups at an altitude of 5,200 meters and above last spring.可知,为了保护珠峰周边的环境,去年春天,中国政府在海拔5,200米及以上的地方进行了三次

69、大清理。A项“为了给登山者提供一条更容易的路径”、B项“保持登山活动顺利进行”以及C项“移走登山受害者的遗体”均不是政府进行清理的目的。故D项正确。11.D细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的there are 85 wildlife protectors and 1,000 herders in the reserve taking part-time jobs going around and cleaning up garbage可知,保护区里的85名野生动物保护者和1,000名牧民做巡视和清理垃圾的兼职工作,即共有1,085个人参与了清理工作。故D项正确。【高频词汇】1.cause vt.引

71、manently closed due to heavy pollution” and caused a universal misunderstanding.分析本句是主从复合句。The announcement came是主句部分,after a report went.caused a universal misunderstanding是after引导的时间状语从句,该从句中claiming the base camp.heavy pollution是现在分词短语作后置定语,修饰a report;该短语中the base camp.heavy pollution是省略连词that的宾语

72、从句,作现在分词claiming的宾语;caused与went是由and连接的并列谓语。句意这一消息是在网上疯传的一则报道后宣布的,该报道称,世界上最高峰大本营“由于污染严重而永久关闭”,引起了普遍的误解。2.原句To conserve the environment surrounding Mount Qomolangma, China carried out three major clean-ups at an altitude of 5,200 meters and above last spring, collecting eight tonnes of household wast

73、es, human wastes and mountaineering trash.分析本句是简单句。To conserve.Mount Qomolangma是动词不定式短语作目的状语;collecting.mountaineering trash是现在分词短语作结果状语。句意为了保护珠穆朗玛峰周围的环境,去年春天,中国在海拔5,200米及以上的地方进行了三次大清理,收集了8公吨生活垃圾、人类粪便和登山垃圾。D语篇解读这是一篇新闻报道。这篇新闻报道主要介绍了一项最新研究结果为提高语言能力而开设的婴儿手语课程实际上对儿童的语言技能发展几乎没有什么作用。12.B细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的An

74、active home environment in which parents regularly talk to their children was much more effective(一个父母经常和孩子交谈的、氛围活跃的家庭环境会更有效)可知,尽可能多地和孩子交谈可能更有助于提高儿童的语言技能。故选B项。13.A推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句Some even think if I dont do it and everyone else does, I must be a bad mother.(有些人甚至认为“如果我不这样做,而其他每个人都这么做,我一定是个坏妈妈”。)可知,一

75、些新手妈妈选择婴儿手语课是受他人影响,盲目跟风的行为。B项“她们肯定手语课的作用”、C项“她们不想被瞧不起”以及D项“她们不知道怎么教孩子”文中均未提及。故选A项。14.C词义猜测题。画线词后的the findings指的是第四段中的research from Hertfordshire University has found no evidence that using baby signing helps to improve their language development(Hertfordshire大学的研究没有发现使用婴儿手语有助于改善他们的语言发展的证据),但Wendy Mo

76、at 所说的the classes encouraged speech development( 这些课程鼓励了0语言的发展)可知,这两种观点是对立的。因此sustained意为“支持,赞成”。A项“获得”、B项“寻求”以及D项“弄明白,解决”均不符合文意。故选C项。15.D主旨大意题。本文是一篇新闻报道,根据文章第一段首句“Baby signing” classes established to improve language skills actually make little difference to childrens development, according to new

77、research.(最新研究显示,为提高语言能力而开设的“婴儿手语”课程实际上对儿童的发展几乎没有什么作用)以及下文提及的各项研究结果都在围绕这一观点展开可知,本文主旨为婴儿手语课不能提高儿童的语言技能。A项“怎样教孩子有效交流”不是文章主旨;B项“婴儿手语课提高孩子的智力”与文章大意相反;C项“怎样改善母亲和孩子的关系”文中未提及。【高频词汇】1.make little difference to对没什么影响2.according to按照;根据3.behavior n.行为;举止4.actually adv.实际上;事实上5.vocabulary n.词汇;词汇量6.regularly a

78、dv.有规律地;定期地7.effective adj.有效的;生效的8.intelligence n.智力9.particularly adv.特别;尤其第二节语篇解读这是一篇议论文。文章讲述了每个人行动背后都有一个目标,但成功人士在他们的行动背后都有一个完全不同的目标,他们始终想着如何通过行动来实现这个目标,在生活中他们认为没有什么是艰难的,他们为成功而采取行动。16.C由上一句This difference may at first look obvious, but the fact is quite the opposite.(这种差别乍一看可能很明显,但事实恰恰相反。)和下一句Eve

79、ryone has a purpose behind their actions.(每个人的行为背后都有一个目的。)可知,成功人士和那些没有取得任何重大成就的人的人行为背后都有目的,然而目的不同,人们采取的行动就会不同。故C选项“它在于什么激励人们采取行动。”切题。17.G本文主要讲成功人士的成功在于他们的行动背后都有一个完全不同的目标。由上两句Everyone has a purpose behind their actions. If they dont, they wouldnt take action.(每个人的行为背后都有一个目的。如果他们没有,他们就不会采取行动。)和下一句When
