第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Scotland is packed with beautiful places to visit and you could honestly spend months and months exploring everything this wonderful country has to offer! Next I’m going to take you through some of the best places to visit in Scotland, based on where we have personally visited so far!
Glen Coe
If you asked me where my favourite place to visit in all of Scotland is... I would say, Glen Coe. The whole area of Glen Coe constantly had my face in shock due to the beauty that I was witnessing. It’s just a stream of dramatic mountains, lakes, rugged beauty and more.
Fort William
Fort William is probably one of the most well-known places to visit in Scotland. It’s a popular tourist destination thanks to being home to the UK’s tallest mountain: Ben Nevis. Fort William is also the starting point for one of the world’s most famous train rides: The Jacobite. Harry Potter fans will recognize it as the Hogwarts Express, and this train ride will take you through the beautiful countryside, crossing some iconic Harry Potter filming locations such as the Dumbledore’s Grave and the Glenfinnan Viaduct!
Isle Of Skye
This island feels totally different from other parts of Scotland and is truly rugged and ready! There are many hot spots to explore including the Old Man of Storr, the Fairy Glen. I even stayed on a private island with its very own lighthouse, which was one of the coolest places I’ve ever visited and one of the most romantic places stay in Scotland.
Cairngorms National Park
This is the largest national park in the UK so it’s another popular place to visit in Scotland and it’s no surprise why. It’s absolutely beautiful and there’s so much happening at the Cairngorms National Park! From skiing or meeting local reindeers, you’ll not go bored and you’ll be surrounded by beauty the entire time.
21. Which place probably attracts Harry Potter fans most
A. Glen Coe. B. Isle Of Skye.
C. Cairngorms National Park. D. Fort William.
22. What can you meet in Cairngorms National Park
A. The Jacobite. B. Local reindeers.
C. The UK's tallest mountain. D. A cool lighthouse.
23. Where is the text probably from
A. A geography textbook. B. A science journal.
C. A travel blog. D. An autobiography.
B
Anthony Doerr's new bestseller, All the Light We Cannot See, holds special appeal for me. That's how I would describe it. From the poetic language, to the realization of what the tile actually means: that underneath the surface of history, there is light that has not been seen, and stories that have gone untold.
I'm going to be honest-love for this book didn't hit me straight away. In fact, my first attempt to read it last month ended with me putting it aside and going to find something easier, lighter and less descriptive to read. But this book is built on beautiful imagery. Both in the literal sense—the physical world of 1940s Paris and Germany, and the metaphorical(隐喻性的) sense—scientific and philosophical references to light, to seeing and not seeing, and the differences between the two. It's a beautiful work of genius, but it does get a little complicated at times.
However, when we get into the meat of this World War II novel, it's also an upsetting story of a childhood torn apart by war. It's about Parisian Marie Laure who has been blind since she was six, and a German orphan called Werner who finds himself at the center of the Hitler Youth. Both of their stories are told with sensitivity and sympathy, each one forced down a path by their personal circumstances and by that destructive monster-war.
I think this is the kind of book you will never appreciate if you stop too soon-I learned that lesson. From the first to last page, there is a theme of invisible lines running parallel (平行的) to one another and sometimes, just sometimes, crossing in the strangest way. These two lives we are introduced to seem to be worlds apart, and yet they come together and influence one another. It was this, more than the predictably awful tale of war that made me feel quite emotional.
24. What does the writer think of the book
A. Light and easy to read. B. Rich in philosophical ideas.
C. Fascinating but too descriptive. D. Too complicated for its theme.
25. What can we learn about Marie Laure and Werner
A. The war leads to their sensitivity.
B. They know each other at an early age.
C. The Hitler Youth pushes them to grow.
D. They both have a miserable childhood.
26. What particularly stirred the writer's emotions
A. The book's dramatic ending. B. The book's beautiful imagery.
C. The characters' interconnected destiny. D. The suffering brought by World War II.
27. What is the purpose of this text
A. To share the writer's feelings of a book.
B. To recommend a delightful bestseller.
C. To tell readers a heartbreaking story.
D. To analyze the structure of a book.
C
These days, there’s a green version of just about everything. There are cars that run on electricity and alternative fuels, houses that are powered by solar energy and wind farms seemingly popping up on every open space from California to coastal Japan. Even drones are getting in on the action. The unmanned air vehicles are also being put to environmental uses around the globe.
The eye in the sky that they provide helps researchers better understand what's going on with the natural world in which we live. For environmentalists and earth scientists, the flying machines can be sent way up in the air to record sweeping footage of a large area to track the impact of things like climate change, migration and the acts of cutting down and burning forest trees, which can be done without having to buy a helicopter, rent a plane or tape a video camera to a bird.
Sure, there’s plenty of satellite footage already out there, but drones let researchers accurately position the data set that they want to get a quicker, closer look at the area that they're looking to monitor. In 2013, for example, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) sent a drone into the Turrialba Volcano in Costa Rica to gather data about its emissions. The temperature, ash height and gas concentration information collected during the mission helped earth scientists determine which way the volcanic and potentially poisonous gas erupting from the volcano was moving and take steps to limit its environmental impact.
Similarly, Arctic researchers are using drones to help study temperature change and the melting of glaciers. They use drones equipped with infrared(红外线的) cameras to sweep into places that they may otherwise not be able to reach to monitor and collect data on the melting ice. The same flying machines may also eventually be used to transport other data collection tools into the wild.
28. How does the author lead in the topic of the text
A. By giving examples. B. By listing data.
C. By drawing a distinction. D. By making assumptions.
29. What mainly makes drones used to better watch nature
A. The high safety.
B. The huge space.
C. The recovery capability after damage.
D. The ability to collect data at a high altitude.
30. What do the last two paragraphs mainly tell us about drones
A. Their production steps.
B. Their practical functions.
C. Their potential impacts on the atmosphere.
D. Their data set for monitoring the environment.
31. Which is a suitable title for the text
A. Drones: Poisonous B. Drones: Eco-friendly
C. Drones: Limited D. Drones: Adaptable
D
Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth's vital resource. By using advanced microwave radar technology it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans, lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe. It's really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet's surface.
The major mission is to explore how oceans help to minimize climate change by absorbing atmospheric heat and carbon dioxide in a natural process. Oceans are estimated to have absorbed more than 90% of the extra heat trapped in the Earth's atmosphere by human-caused greenhouse gases Swot will scan the seas from the orbit and precisely measure fine differences in surface elevations（高度）around smaller currents and eddies（漩涡），where much of the oceans' decrease of heat and carbon is believed to occur.“Studying the mechanism will help climate scientists answer a key question: What is the turning point at which oceans start releasing, rather than absorbing, huge amounts of heat back into the atmosphere and speed up global warming, rather than limiting it,”said Nadya Shiffer, Swot's program scientist.
By comparison, earlier studies of water bodies relied on data of rivers or oceans taken at specific points, or from satellites that can only track measurements along, a one-dimensional line, requiring scientists to fill in data gaps through extrapolation（外推法）.Thanks to the radar instrument, Swot can scan through cloud cover and darkness over wide ranges of the Earth. This enables scientists to accurately map their observations in two dimensions regardless of weather or time of day and to cover large geographic areas far more quickly than was previously possible.
“Rather than giving us a line of elevations, it's giving us a map of elevations, and that's just a total game changer,” said Tamlin Pavelsky, Swot freshwater science leader.
32. What does the underlined expression“vital resource” in the first paragraph refer to？
A. Technology. B. Climate. C. Oceans. D. Water.
33. What is the major mission of Swot？
A. To explore the influences of greenhouse gases.
B. To explain the consequence of global warming.
C. To identify the causes of water absorbing heat and CO2.
D. To study the mechanism of oceans influencing climate
34. What makes it possible for Swot to measure precisely
A. The high-definition computer. B. Advanced radar technology.
C. The three-dimensional image. D. An accurate map of elevations.
35. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. A Solution to Climate Change
B. A Breakthrough in Space Travel
C. First Global Water Survey from Space
D. The Successful Launch of Swot Satellite

In those days, sixty percent of the villagers couldn't read and of them women accounted for over a half. So my father opened a night school to teach them how to read. With his help many people learned to read newspapers for the first time.
As his daughter, I know what education means to the people, especially those without it. After generations of hard work, China has come a long way in education. I myself benefit a lot from that progress. Otherwise I would never have become a singer and a professor of music.
Many years ago my father made a small difference in his village. Together we can make a big difference. I was once asked about my Chinese dream. I said I hope all children especially girls can have access to good education.Thank you very much.

From the first to last page, there is a theme of invisible lines running parallel(平行的)to one another and sometimes, just sometimes, crossing in the strangest way.我认为这是一本书,如果你停得太快,你就永远不会欣赏它—我学到了这一课。从第一页到最后一页,有一个主题是看不见的线彼此平行运行,有时,只是有时,以最奇怪的方式交叉。)”可知,文章的目的是分享作者对一本书的感受。故选A。

29.答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段“The eye in the sky that they provide helps researchers better understand what's going on with the natural world in which we live. For environmentalists and earth scientists, the flying machines can be sent way up in the air to record sweeping footage of a large area to track the impact of things like climate change, migration and the acts of cutting down and burning forest trees, which can be done without having to buy a helicopter, rent a plane or tape a video camera to a bird.”(它们提供的空中眼睛帮助研究人员更好地了解我们生活的自然世界正在发生什么。对于环境学家和地球科学家来说,这些飞行器可以被送到空中去记录大片区域的影像来追踪气候变化,迁徙以及砍伐和焚烧森林树木的行为,这些都不需要购买直升机,租用飞机或者给鸟类装摄像机。)可知,使用无人机可以帮助研究人员更好地了解我们生活的自然世界正在发生什么,可以在空中实现影像采集,追踪气候变化,动物迁徙以及人类对森林的破坏行为。故选D。

31.答案：B
解析：主旨大意题。通读全文,结合文章第一段中的“These days, there's a green version of just about everything.”(现在,几乎所有东西都有绿色版本。)“The unmanned air vehicles are also being put to environmental uses around the globe.”(无人驾驶飞行器也正在全球范围内用于环境保护。)同时根据本段中的举例,引出了文章的话题:无人机在环境保护方面的应用。第二段提到了无人机可用于观测自然的原因,最后两段阐述了无人机的实际应用。所以本文的标题应为:用于环境保护的无人机。选项B与文意相符,故选B。

解析：词义猜测题。根据划线短语所在句子Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth's vital resource.（Swot卫星计划于周四上午发射，对地球的vital resource进行全面调查）可知，Swot卫星通过使用先进的微波雷达技术，收集全球90%以上的海洋、湖泊和河流的高清晰度表面测量数据，然后对这些水资源进行调查，由此可推知，划线短语"vital resource"指的是下文提到的"water （水）"。A.Technology科技；B.Climate气候；C.Oceans海洋；D.Water水。故选D。
33.答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中The major mission is to explore how oceans adjust climate change by absorbing atmospheric heat and carbon dioxide in a natural process.（其主要任务是探索海洋如何通过自然过程吸收大气热量和二氧化碳来调节气候变化）可知，Swot卫星的主要任务是研究海洋如何影响气候变化。故选D。
34.答案：B

35.答案：C
解析：标题判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段Swot satellite is scheduled to be launched Thursday morning to conduct a comprehensive survey of Earth's vital resource.By using advanced microwave radar technology it will collect height-surface measurements of oceans，lakes and rivers in high-definition detail over 90% of the globe.It's really the first time to observe nearly all water on the planet's surface.（Swot卫星计划于周四上午发射，对地球的重要资源进行全面调查。通过使用先进的微波雷达技术，它将收集全球90% 以上的海洋、湖泊和河流的高清晰度表面测量数据。这真的是第一次观察到地球表面几乎所有的水。）可知，文章报道了计划于周四上午发射的Swot卫星，通过使用先进的微波雷达技术，它将收集全球90%以上的海洋、湖泊和河流的高清晰度表面测量数据。这是第一次从太空观察到地球表面几乎所有的水。由此可推知C项First Global Water Survey from Space（第一次从太空进行的全球水资源调查）是文章最佳标题。故选C。

第二节
答案：61.was listed 62.like 63.covering 64.joined 65.the 66.to walk 67.which 68.attractive 69.importance 70.is
解析：61.list在此是谓语动词, 与主语The Great Wall of China之间是被动关系; 根据时间状语in 1987可知应用一般过去时。故填was listed。
62.句意为: 正像一条巨龙一样, 它蜿蜒于沙漠、草原和山脉间…… 此处表示"像……一样", 应用介词like。故填like。
63.设空处作状语, 应用非谓语动词形式。cover与其逻辑主语it之间是主动关系, 故用现在分词covering。
64.此处应用非谓语动词作宾语补足语, join与宾语the walls之间是逻辑上的被动关系, 所以应用过去分词。故填joined。
65.此处特指长城的城墙, 所以应用定冠词the修饰。故填the。
66.句意为: ……它的宽度足以让五匹马或十个人并排走。"形容词+enough+(for sb/sth)to do sth"意为"足够……以(让某人/某物)做某事"。故填to walk。
67.此处in _____ soldiers used to keep watch是非限制性定语从句, 修饰先行词watchtowers, 关系词在定语从句中作in的宾语, 故填关系代词which。
68.句意为: 然而, 它仍然是世界上最吸引人的地方之一…… 修饰名词spots应用形容词。attractive意为"吸引人的"。故填attractive。
69.在because of后作宾语, 且由形容词修饰, 应用名词。importance意为"重要性"。故填importance。
70.句意为: "不到长城非好汉。"who does not reach the Great Wall是修饰主语He的定语从句, 因此谓语动词应使用第三人称单数形式。故填is。
第四部分 写作
第一节
答案：
Once during a flight, I next to an old man named Cliff, was a fan of China. He had been studying Chinese for years, and he tried his best to a few new words every day. My friendly neighbor shared some of his life with me, too. He had owned several businesses and had failed in a number of them. However, Cliff thought his life was quite . He spoke of his failure with same interest as he talked about his success. His life was wonderful his experiences were meaningful. never spoke ill of the people in his life and was thankful all of them.
解析：1.第一句sit改为sat 该句时间状语Once during a flight(曾经在一个航班上),可知讲的是过去的事情,故句子是一般过去时,谓语动词应为过去式,sit(坐)的过去式是sat,故改为sat。
2.第一句which改为who 该词是非限定性定语从句的关系词,先行词是an old man(一个老人),在从句中作主语,指人,which指物,故改为who。
3.第二句learning改为learn try one's best to do sth. 尽某人最大努力做某事,故此处应为动词原形,learning改为learn(学习)。
4.第三句story改为stories story是故事,可数名词,前面的some表示一些,后接可数名词的复数或不可数名词,故这里应为复数,改为stories。
5.第四句been去掉 had been failed是过去完成时的被动语态,但该句主语He与fail(失败)是主动关系,句子应为主动语态,故been去掉。
6.第五句successfully改为successful 该词在be动词was后面,应为形容词作表语,successfully是副词,成功地,其形容词去掉ly,故改为successful,成功的。
7.第六句same前面加the same是同样的,the same+名词,表示“同样的...”, 该句意思是“他说起他的失败和谈论他的成功有同样的兴趣”,故same前面加the。
8.第七句but改为and 此处是连词,前面句意是“他的生活是精彩的”,后面句意是“他的经历是有意义的”,二者是并列的,but是但是,表示转折,故改为and。
9.最后一句I改为He speak ill of sb. 说某人的坏话,文章讲的是这个老人的生活,故该句意思是“他从没说过他生命中的人的坏话”,I是我,He是他,故主语I改为He。
10.最后一句with改为to be thankful to sb. 感激某人,是固定短语,故with改为to。
