12．（10分）A famous springboard driver was defeated by his competitor in the finals of a world championship，offering congratulations to the winner and waving a tearful goodbye to the audience.
It is common in the athletic world.Sportsmen spend the best part of their lives on hard training and competitions.When it becomes evident that they are on the decline they still make great efforts to give their best so as to bring a satisfactory end to their career.
Chances to compete for the championship are few and far between.Life is short.Still shorter is the time for an athlete trying to win games.An athletic contestant really feels that there are so few opportunities and time flies.He treasures every minute，makes full use of it and tries to grasp any chance coming his way.He gets as much as he gives，winning honors not only for himself but also for his country.
To participate and to win﹣ ﹣that is the Olympic spirit.It finds expression in the weak daring to challenge the strong.And the strong searching forever better performance.Ever better﹣ the ideal always makes a sportsman forward.He will do everything he can for it，never relax，never give up.It is said that none of the competitors can avoid being defeated﹣ even the best is bound to be defeated by someone still stronger.This is the rule of sports﹣ ﹣thousands of losers set one winner who in turn will eventually be replaced by someone on the honor list.However，he is always trying to do the best he can.When the time comes and he knows he can't，he will step down happily to give place to the younger winner，aware contentedly of the fact that he has done his best for the"ever better" records of the Olympic Games.He will say proudly that he has not lived his youth in vain.

13．（10分）"A lot of the time when climate change is discussed in mainstream media，people are asking 'can humans overcome this？'，or 'what technology can solve this？'.It's high time we recognized that animals also have to adapt to various changes.We know some animals change their skin colors to escape from natural enemies or due to environment pollution， " says Ryding. "The climate change that we have created is putting a lot of pressure on them，and some species try to adapt by shapeshifting （变形）. "
Strong shapeshifting has particularly been reported in birds.Several species of Australian parrot have shown，on average，a 4%﹣10% increase in beak （鸟喙）size since 1871，and this is positively linked with the summer temperature each year.North American dark﹣eyed juncos，a type of small songbird，had a link between increased beak size and short﹣term temperature extremes in cold environments.There have also been reported changes in mammalian species.Researchers have reported tail length increases in wood mice and leg size increases in masked shrews （鼩鼱）.
"The increases in some body parts size we see so far are quite small﹣less than 10%﹣so the changes are unlikely to be immediately noticeable， " says Ryding. "However，some body parts such as ears are predicted to increase. "
Ryding intends to investigate shapeshifting in Australian birds firsthand by 3 D scanning museum bird specimens from the past 100 years.It will give her team a better understanding of which birds are changing their body parts and why. "Shapeshifting does not mean that animals are coping with climate change and that all is 'fine'， " says Ryding. "It just means they are adapting to survive it﹣but we're not sure what the other ecological consequences of these changes are，or indeed that all species are capable of changing and surviving. "
（1）What may cause animals' shapeshifting according to Ryding？ 　 　
A．Human hunting.
B．Climate change.
C．Natural enemies.
D．Polluted surroundings.
（2）What method does the author mainly use to develop paragraph 2？ 　 　
A．Giving examples.
B．Cause﹣effect analysis.
C．Making comparison.
D．Process analysis.
（3）What can we know from Ryding's words in the last paragraph？ 　 　
A．Animals can well adapt to changes and survive.
B．Influence of animals' shapeshifting is uncertain.
C．Ryding will research into bird museums in Australia.
D．All adaptations of animals to climate change are beneficial.
（4）In which section of a newspaper can we find the text？ 　 　
A．Technology.
B．Health care.
C．Environment.
D．Education.
14．（10分）For thousands of years，Chinese writers have travelled all over the country to take down notes about the geographical conditions of each city.Among them，well﹣known Chinese geographer and writer Li Daoyuan，in the Northern Wei Dynasty （386﹣534），composed his book，Commentary on the Water Classics，after studying the original literary version，Water Classics.He later expanded the river records to 1 ，252 from the original 137.
The book is now being studied again by Professor Li Xiaojie and his team from Fudan University.They have been using drawing software and 3 D modelling to recreate the waterway situations on a map based on the book description.So far，they have completed research on four rivers.
"Ancient people knew really well how to apply the power of nature to technical considerations，" Li said，giving the example of Qianjin' e，one of the most famous ancient water conservation projects in Luoyang，Henan.In order to lead the river into the city for irrigation （灌溉） in ancient Luoyang，the officials built a canal branch by separating a northwest﹣southeast river.However，the canal water wasn't enough to support the citizens in dry seasons.To solve that，on the northern side of the canal branch，the officials built a reservoir （水库） and a channel to lead the water to the canal branch，where the waterways would converge and flow together to the city.
In Commentary on the Water Classics，a total of 2，800 cities are recorded with details.Still，the process of recreation takes much effort.After doing a lot of text analysis and fieldwork，the team has gradually created the model with 3 D modelling software based on repeated deductions （推论）.
For Professor Li，the book is not only a record of the natural landscape over 1，000 years ago，but also a detailed description of humanity and culture and a treasure for today's reference.
（1）What can we learn about the book Commentary on the Water Classics？ 　 　
A．It has been out of date.
B．It explains 3 D modelling.
C．It keeps records of 137 rivers.
D．It is based on previous studies.
（2）What does the underlined word "converge" in paragraph 3 mean？ 　 　
A．Join.
B．Pass.
C．Cross.
D．Begin.
（3）What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about model recreation？ 　 　
A．Its major problems.
B．Its detailed analysis.
C．Its complex process.
D．Its successful application.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？ 　 　
A．3 D Technology Fuels Modern Research.
B．Ancient Classics Inspire Modern Research.
C．An Effective Approach to Model Recreation.
D．A Famous Writer of Chinese Ancient Classics.

15．（12.5分）As the snowmelt sand flowers begin to bloom，many of us look forward to experiencing warmer weather and brighter，longer days.（1）　 　 While the act of sorting and dusting aren't necessarily fun，getting the house cleaned and organized is good for your mental health for several reasons.
（2）　 　 Spring cleaning is an example of what psychologists refer to as "temporal landmarks".Those are the moments in the time that signify a change，like a new term at school.A well﹣organized or redecorated living room might help your brain make that shift that you're entering into a new phase of the year.
It gives you a sense of control.（3）　 　 Cleaning your house is a great way to achieve that.After all，you might not be able to control the price of groceries，but you can control how organized your desk is.And while you can't control the weather，you can control how comfortable your home feels.
It may set other good habits in motion.（4）　 　 Getting your house in order may motivate you to get other areas of your life in order.You might feel inspired to get more exercise now that you've removed the stuff on your treadmill（跑步机），or you might go to sleep earlier because your room feels more peaceful.
It can improve social life.If you've ever felt uneasy about the condition of your home to let anyone come inside，you're not alone.（5）　 　 However，a cleaner space might help you feel more comfortable about opening up your home to others.
A．It signals a fresh start. B．Good habits can have a snowball effect. C．You may experience anxiety when focusing on things you can't control. D．We feel best when we take charge of the things that we do have control over. E．Spring cleaning is the practice of thoroughly cleaning a house in the springtime. F．But this season can also bring with it a sense of anticipation for spring cleaning. G．Sometimes，the embarrassment of a messy house keeps people from hosting dinner parties.

It felt great to be（11）　 　 everything，from（12）　 　 my alarm to deciding which museum to visit.This sense of（13）　 　 was one of the best things about traveling alone.
By this journey，I learned to be more（14）　 　 ，realizing what I'm capable of and that I can（15）　 　 the journey of life on my own.

17．（15分）On a cool day in winter，I boarded a small bus for Nuanquan Town，or Warm Spring Town in Zhangjiakou.It is an old town with ancient walled （1）　 　 （village） dating from the Ming and Qing dynasties， （2）　 　 （relative） untouched by the influence of modern redevelopment.
I went there not for its springs or well﹣preserved buildings，but for its performances of Dashuhua，literally （3）　 　 （translate） as "striking tree flowers." It is usually performed at the Lantern Festival，when ironworkers throw hot melted iron against a cold brick wall to create a splendid shower of sparks （火花），just like the （4）　 　 （flower） branches of a large tree，and hence the name.
When the freezing cold night fell，the visitors sat around the stage （5）　 　 the fire show was performed.As the performers took center stage，all thoughts about the bone﹣cracking temperatures （6）　 　 （forget）.And in the following hour，we witnessed firework﹣like sparks light up the town.
Dashuhua is a game for the brave. （7）　 　 requires not only professional skills but also physical （8）　 　 （strong） and courage.Maybe that is the reason why fewer and fewer young people want to learn this skill and take better﹣paying jobs in （9）　 　 （large） towns.
Luckily，the tradition has been listed （10）　 　 an intangible cultural heritage （非物质文化遗产） in China.

19．（25分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was terrified of heights.Of course，it was not really a fear of being in a high place.Rather，it was the view of a long way to fall，of rocks far below me and no firm wall between me and the edge.My sense of security was screamingly absent.I could rely only on my own sure﹣footedness.
Despite my fear，two summers ago I somehow found myself climbing to a high place，while quaking inside and out.Most of our high school had come along on a day trip to the Boquerón，a beautiful and pleasant spot in the foothills of Peru.Its chief attraction is the main waterfall，about 100 feet high，that thunders into a crystal clear pool feeding the Aguaytia River.All around the pool and on down to the rushing river are rocks large and small.The beach is strewn （布满） with rocks.On both sides of the fall，the jungle stretches to meet it，rising parallel to it on a gentler slope.
After eating our lunches，many of us wanted to make the climb to an area above it.We knew others had done so on previous trips.A few guys went first to make sure they were on the right path.But after they left，my group of seven decided to go ahead without waiting for them to return.I suspected we were going the wrong way，but I kept silent，figuring that the others knew better.We went along the base of the hill until we reached the climb.It stopped me in my tracks.
The climb rose steeply above us.Along the right edge，the jungle hugged the rocks；passage through its trees seemed unlikely to be achieved.The majority of my view was filled with rocks.Peering back down toward the river，I saw a steep slope of rocks all the way to the water.All I could think about was how far it would be to fall.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My tense thoughts were interrupted by the realization that my friends were already beginning to climb!
My friends kept right on climbing but they did not forget me.

12．（10分）A famous springboard driver was defeated by his competitor in the finals of a world championship，offering congratulations to the winner and waving a tearful goodbye to the audience.
It is common in the athletic world.Sportsmen spend the best part of their lives on hard training and competitions.When it becomes evident that they are on the decline they still make great efforts to give their best so as to bring a satisfactory end to their career.
Chances to compete for the championship are few and far between.Life is short.Still shorter is the time for an athlete trying to win games.An athletic contestant really feels that there are so few opportunities and time flies.He treasures every minute，makes full use of it and tries to grasp any chance coming his way.He gets as much as he gives，winning honors not only for himself but also for his country.
To participate and to win﹣ ﹣that is the Olympic spirit.It finds expression in the weak daring to challenge the strong.And the strong searching forever better performance.Ever better﹣ the ideal always makes a sportsman forward.He will do everything he can for it，never relax，never give up.It is said that none of the competitors can avoid being defeated﹣ even the best is bound to be defeated by someone still stronger.This is the rule of sports﹣ ﹣thousands of losers set one winner who in turn will eventually be replaced by someone on the honor list.However，he is always trying to do the best he can.When the time comes and he knows he can't，he will step down happily to give place to the younger winner，aware contentedly of the fact that he has done his best for the"ever better" records of the Olympic Games.He will say proudly that he has not lived his youth in vain.

（3）细节理解题。根据最后一段It is said that none of the competitors can avoid being defeated—even the best is bound to be defeated by someone still stronger.This is the rule of sports—thousands of losers set off one winner who in turn will eventually be replaced by someone on the honor list.（据说，没有一个竞争者能够避免被打败，即使是最好的也一定会被更强的人打败。这就是体育运动的规律﹣﹣成千上万的失败者造就了一个胜利者，而这个胜利者最终会被荣誉名单上的某个人所取代。）可知，我们可以从体育运动的规律中了解到即使是最强的运动员也有被打败的一天。故选B。

13．（10分）"A lot of the time when climate change is discussed in mainstream media，people are asking 'can humans overcome this？'，or 'what technology can solve this？'.It's high time we recognized that animals also have to adapt to various changes.We know some animals change their skin colors to escape from natural enemies or due to environment pollution， " says Ryding. "The climate change that we have created is putting a lot of pressure on them，and some species try to adapt by shapeshifting （变形）. "
Strong shapeshifting has particularly been reported in birds.Several species of Australian parrot have shown，on average，a 4%﹣10% increase in beak （鸟喙）size since 1871，and this is positively linked with the summer temperature each year.North American dark﹣eyed juncos，a type of small songbird，had a link between increased beak size and short﹣term temperature extremes in cold environments.There have also been reported changes in mammalian species.Researchers have reported tail length increases in wood mice and leg size increases in masked shrews （鼩鼱）.
"The increases in some body parts size we see so far are quite small﹣less than 10%﹣so the changes are unlikely to be immediately noticeable， " says Ryding. "However，some body parts such as ears are predicted to increase. "
Ryding intends to investigate shapeshifting in Australian birds firsthand by 3 D scanning museum bird specimens from the past 100 years.It will give her team a better understanding of which birds are changing their body parts and why. "Shapeshifting does not mean that animals are coping with climate change and that all is 'fine'， " says Ryding. "It just means they are adapting to survive it﹣but we're not sure what the other ecological consequences of these changes are，or indeed that all species are capable of changing and surviving. "
（1）What may cause animals' shapeshifting according to Ryding？ 　B　
A．Human hunting.
B．Climate change.
C．Natural enemies.
D．Polluted surroundings.
（2）What method does the author mainly use to develop paragraph 2？ 　A　
A．Giving examples.
B．Cause﹣effect analysis.
C．Making comparison.
D．Process analysis.
（3）What can we know from Ryding's words in the last paragraph？ 　B　
A．Animals can well adapt to changes and survive.
B．Influence of animals' shapeshifting is uncertain.
C．Ryding will research into bird museums in Australia.
D．All adaptations of animals to climate change are beneficial.
（4）In which section of a newspaper can we find the text？ 　C　
A．Technology.
B．Health care.
C．Environment.
D．Education.

14．（10分）For thousands of years，Chinese writers have travelled all over the country to take down notes about the geographical conditions of each city.Among them，well﹣known Chinese geographer and writer Li Daoyuan，in the Northern Wei Dynasty （386﹣534），composed his book，Commentary on the Water Classics，after studying the original literary version，Water Classics.He later expanded the river records to 1 ，252 from the original 137.
The book is now being studied again by Professor Li Xiaojie and his team from Fudan University.They have been using drawing software and 3 D modelling to recreate the waterway situations on a map based on the book description.So far，they have completed research on four rivers.
"Ancient people knew really well how to apply the power of nature to technical considerations，" Li said，giving the example of Qianjin' e，one of the most famous ancient water conservation projects in Luoyang，Henan.In order to lead the river into the city for irrigation （灌溉） in ancient Luoyang，the officials built a canal branch by separating a northwest﹣southeast river.However，the canal water wasn't enough to support the citizens in dry seasons.To solve that，on the northern side of the canal branch，the officials built a reservoir （水库） and a channel to lead the water to the canal branch，where the waterways would converge and flow together to the city.
In Commentary on the Water Classics，a total of 2，800 cities are recorded with details.Still，the process of recreation takes much effort.After doing a lot of text analysis and fieldwork，the team has gradually created the model with 3 D modelling software based on repeated deductions （推论）.
For Professor Li，the book is not only a record of the natural landscape over 1，000 years ago，but also a detailed description of humanity and culture and a treasure for today's reference.
（1）What can we learn about the book Commentary on the Water Classics？ 　D　
A．It has been out of date.

【点评】近几年高考试题中的完形填空有新的变化，试题所涉及的知识面不断拓宽，综合难度不断提高。做完形填空首先要通读全文，了解大意。一篇完形填空的文章有许多空格，所以，必须先通读一至两遍，才能大概了解文章的内容。千万不要看一句，做一句。其次要逐句分析，前后一致。选择答案时，要考虑整个句子的内容，包括搭配、时态、语法等。答案全填完后，再通读一遍文章，检查是否通顺流畅，用词得当，意思正确。
第二节（共1小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
17．（15分）On a cool day in winter，I boarded a small bus for Nuanquan Town，or Warm Spring Town in Zhangjiakou.It is an old town with ancient walled （1）　villages　 （village） dating from the Ming and Qing dynasties， （2）　relatively　 （relative） untouched by the influence of modern redevelopment.
I went there not for its springs or well﹣preserved buildings，but for its performances of Dashuhua，literally （3）　translated　 （translate） as "striking tree flowers." It is usually performed at the Lantern Festival，when ironworkers throw hot melted iron against a cold brick wall to create a splendid shower of sparks （火花），just like the （4）　flowering　 （flower） branches of a large tree，and hence the name.
When the freezing cold night fell，the visitors sat around the stage （5）　where　 the fire show was performed.As the performers took center stage，all thoughts about the bone﹣cracking temperatures （6）　were forgotten　 （forget）.And in the following hour，we witnessed firework﹣like sparks light up the town.
Dashuhua is a game for the brave. （7）　It　 requires not only professional skills but also physical （8）　strength　 （strong） and courage.Maybe that is the reason why fewer and fewer young people want to learn this skill and take better﹣paying jobs in （9）　larger　 （large） towns.
Luckily，the tradition has been listed （10）　as　 an intangible cultural heritage （非物质文化遗产） in China.

【答案】见试题解答内容
【分析】本文是一篇旅游日志。文章主要讲述作者去张家口的暖泉镇看打树花的经历。
【解答】（1）考查可数名词的复数。句意：这是一个古老的城镇，有明清时期的古城墙村庄，相对来说没有受到现代重建的影响。village是可数名词，前面没有限定词修饰，所以用复数形式，表示泛指。故填villages。
（2）考查副词。句意：见第1题详解。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里需要副词作状语，修饰后面的形容词untouched。故填relatively。
（3）考查过去分词。句意：我去那里不是因为它的泉水或保存完好的建筑，而是因为它的打树花表演，字面意思是"引人注目的树花"。动词translate和被修饰的名词its performances of Dashuhua是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以用过去分词形式，表示被动。故填translated。
（4）考查形容词。句意：它通常在元宵节上表演，当钢铁工人将熔化的热铁扔到冰冷的砖墙上，产生灿烂的火花，就像一棵大树开放的花枝一样，因此得名。这里需要形容词作定语，修饰后面的名词branches，意为"开花的"。故填flowering。
（5）考查定语从句。句意：当寒冷的夜晚来临时，观众们围坐在舞台周围，看那里的打树花表演。分析句子结构和意思可知，先行词为stage，在从句中作地点状语，用关系副词where引导。故填where。
（6）考查动词的时态语态。句意：当演员们走到舞台中央时，所有关于骨头碎裂温度的想法都被遗忘了。这句话描述的是过去的事情，句子主语temperatures和动词forget之间是被动关系，所以用一般过去时的被动语态结构，be动词用were。故填were forgotten。
（7）考查代词。句意：它不仅需要专业技能，还需要身体强壮和勇气。这里考查代词it，指代上文提到的Dashuhua，句首单词首字母大写。故填It。
（8）考查不可数名词。句意：见第7题详解。空格前面是形容词physical，所以这里用名词strength，作宾语，是不可数名词。故填strength。
（9）考查形容词比较级。句意：也也许这就是为什么越来越少的年轻人想学习这项技能，并在更大的城镇从事收入更高的工作的原因。这里考查形容词比较级，和前面的对应better﹣paying。故填larger。
（10）考查介词。句意：幸运的是，这一传统在中国被列为非物质文化遗产。分析句子结构和意思可知，这里考查介词as，意为"作为"。故填as。
【点评】做本题的关键是在理解短文的基础上，灵活运用所学的基础知识。本类型的题目常考到的知识点有：固定的短语，词类的转换，名词的复数形式，副词以及祈使句的用法等。因此，这就需要在平时的学习中，牢固掌握各语言点及一些语法知识。
