PRACTITIONERS
Jacqueline Felice de Almania (c.1322) highlights the suspicion that women practicing medicine faced. Born to a Jewish family in Florence, she moved to Paris where she worked as a physician and performed surgery. In 1322 she was tried for practicing unlawfully. In spite of the court hearing testimonials (证明) of her ability as a doctor, she was banned from medicine. James Barry (c.1789 — 1865) was born Margaret Bulkley in Ireland but, dressed as a man, she was accepted by Edinburgh University to study medicine. She qualified as a surgeon in 1813, then joined the British Army, serving overseas. Barry retired in 1859, having practiced her entire medical profession living and working as a man.
Tan Yunxian (1461 — 1554) was a Chinese physician who learned her skills from her grandparents. Chinese women at the time could not serve apprenticeships (学徒期) with doctors. However, Tan passed the official exam. Tan treated women from all walks of life. In 1511, Tan wrote a book, Sayings of a Female Doctor, describing her life as a physician. Rebecca Lee Crumpler (1831 — 1895) worked as a nurse for eight years before studying in medical college in Boston in 1860. Four years later, she was the first African American woman to receive a medical degree. She moved to Virginia in 1865, where she provided medical care to freed slaves.
21. What did Jacqueline and James have in common
A. Doing teaching jobs. B. Being hired as physicians.
C. Performing surgery. D. Being banned from medicine.
22. How was Tan Yunxian different from the other practitioners
A. She wrote a book. B. She went through trials.

William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13, 1865. His childhood lacked the harmony that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered "little of childhood but its pain". In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family — both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama and poetry.
Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn't lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.
Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats's poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.
He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923. Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats's Death in 1939, W. H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines:
Earth, receive an honoured guest:
William Yeats is laid to rest.
Let the Irish vessel (船) lie
Emptied of its poetry.
24. Which of the following can describe Yeats's family
A. It filled Yeats's childhood with laughter.
B. It was shocked by Yeats's choice.
C. It was a typically wealthy family.
D. It had an artistic atmosphere.
25. According to the passage, what do we know about Yeats's life
A. Yeats founded the first Irish theater.
B. Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry.
C. Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.
D. Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize.
26. What kind of feeling is expressed in W. H. Auden's lines
A. Envy B. Sympathy C. Emptiness D. Admiration
27. What is the passage mainly about
A. Yeats's literary achievements B. Yeats's historical influence
C. Yeats's artistic ambition D. Yeats's national honor
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. D 27. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述是诺贝尔奖获得者爱尔兰著名的艺术家Yeats的一生的故事及其成就。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后三行. In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family — both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama and poetry. 可知他的家庭是一个很有艺术气息的家庭，故D正确。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13, 1865.和最后一段的Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75.可知，他是1865年出生的，在50岁以后才写出最好的作品，那么大约是在1910s，故C正确。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的After Yeats's Death in 1939, W. H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines: Earth, receive an honoured guest: William Yeats is laid to rest. Let the Irish vessel (船) lie Emptied of its poetry.说明他认为Yeats是爱尔兰艺术届的巨大损失。由此可推断出他很钦佩Yeats，故D正确。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。文章介绍了Yeats的出生，家庭及他对文学的热爱和他所取得的成就可知，本文主要讲的是爱尔兰著名的艺术家Yeats的生平及其成就。故A正确。
C
The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem (生态系统). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna (大草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat (栖息地).
It is the elephant’s great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.
Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.
What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.
28. What is the passage mainly about
A. Disappearance of African elephants.
B. Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.
C. The effect of African elephants’ search for food.
D. The eating habit of African elephants.
29. What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean
A. Fixing the time.
B Worsening the state.
C. Improving the quality.
D. Deciding the conditions.
30. What do we know about the open spaces in the passage
A. They result from the destruction of rain forests.
B. They provide food mainly for African elephants.
C. They are home to many endangered animals.
D. They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.
31. The passage is developed mainly by______.
A. showing the effect and then explaining the causes
B. pointing out similarities and differences
C. describing the changes in spare order
D. giving examples
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在非洲草原的生物链中大象的重要作用，它不断的寻找食物拓宽了其它动物的生存空间等。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem (生态系统).(非洲象是地球上现存最大的陆地动物，对非洲生态系统具有重要意义)及下文的具体介绍可知，文章主要介绍了非洲象寻找食物的习惯给非洲生态系统所带来的重要影响。故选C。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna (大草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat (栖息地).(作为一种大型食草动物，它在很大程度上塑造了它所生活的森林和热带草原环境，因此为生活在它的栖息地的数百万其他动物setting the terms生存条件)中的前半句it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna (大草原) surroundings可推知，非洲大象塑造了草原的环境，那么也决定了其它的动物的生存的条件。由此推知，划线词组与Deciding the conditions意义相似。故选D。
30题详解】
细节理解题。根据二段中的In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.(在这些开阔的空间里有许多处于不同生长阶段的植物，吸引着各种各样的食草动物)可知，这些开阔的空间对不同种类的食草动物很有吸引力。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。第一段先提到了非洲象对环境的作用，然后具体解释非洲象如何为其他动物创造了生存环境。由此可知，这篇文章主要通过展示效果，然后解释原因来展开的。故选A。
第二节 阅读填空(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping, I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me. ___32___
The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer. ____33____ We slept in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning.
I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. ____34____ Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.
___35___ We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.
___36___ It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style.
A. This time there was no tent.
B. Things are going to be improved.
C. The trip they took me on was a rough one.
D. I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.
E. I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己近三年来逐渐改变了对野营的看法，从以前对野营活动嗤之以鼻，经过几次野营后慢慢喜欢上了野营，最后表达野营将逐渐成为人类回归自然的很好方式，建议人们找到属于自己的方式。
【32题详解】
上文 They had nothing in common with me 说明作者原来认为他不会成为野营者．而下文主要描述的是"我"从最开始进行"rough travel"到有了"pop-up camper"再到有了 trailer 的过程，在这过程中作者对野营的爱好逐步增加，对野营的相关知识也在逐步增长，上下文呈转折关系．D项意为"然而在那之后我将会学到关于野营的很多知识"，起到转折作用，引出下文，符合语境．故正确答案为D。
【33题详解】
由下文 We sleep in a tent，cooked over an open fire，and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom 可知，"我"的野营条件非常艰苦．C项意为"他们带我去的旅途非常艰苦"，引出下文，符合语境．故正确答案为C。
【34题详解】
由下文 Instead，we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner 可知，空格处是与下文形成转折的内容，而"我"此次旅行用了展开式营房．A项意为"这一次没有帐篷"，与下文形成转折，符合语境．故正确答案为A。
【35题详解】
由第三段第一句 going on another fun-filled holiday 可知，"我"对这次旅行非常满意，而由下文 We have done a lot of it since 可知，"我们"都爱上了野营．F项意为"从这里旅行后，我全家都对野营产生了巨大的兴趣"，承上启下，符合语境．故正确答案为F。
【36题详解】
由下文 sooner or later，everyone finds his or her way back to nature 可知，"我"希望每个人都能找到回归自然，也就是野营的个性化选择．形成这一观点的前提是"我"自己已经爱上了野营．E项意为"我必须承认我已经开始享受野营了"，引出下文，符合语境．故正确答案为E。

69. to be harmed
70. alarmed
71. gradually
72. wore 73. should be held##be held
74. who 75. the
76. guests 77. in
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章介绍一个家用机器人Tony在一个家庭里被测试的经过。
【68题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：虽然Claire一开始不喜欢这个想法，但她的丈夫说服了她，告诉她机器人不会伤害她，也不会让她受到伤害。动词tell和逻辑主语her husband之间是主谓关系，tell应用现在分词形式作状语，故填telling。
【69题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。allow sb. to do sth.“允许某人做某事”，且harm和her之间是逻辑被动关系，harm用不定式的被动形式，故填to be harmed。
【70题详解】
考查形容词。句意：第一眼看到Tony，她惊恐地发现他看起来更像一个高大英俊的人，而不是一台机器。空处应填形容词作表语，主语she指人，此处应用说明人的-ed形容词alarmed“担心的”，故填alarmed。
【71题详解】
考查副词。句意：但渐渐地，Tony开始赢得Claire的信任。空处作状语修饰整个句子，应用副词gradually，故填gradually。
【72题详解】
考查时态。句意：他帮助Claire实现了让她的家变得优雅的梦想，给她换了一个新发型，改进了她的妆容，并给她的穿着提出了建议。wear是定语从句谓语动词，结合主句谓语helped、gave和improved用一般过去时可知事情已发生，此处也用一般过去时，故填wore。
【73题详解】
考查虚拟语气。句意：他还建议举办一个聚会，邀请一些朋友，包括Gladys，她正是Claire所希望成为的人。suggest表示“建议”，后面的宾语从句使用虚拟语气“should+动词原形”，should可省略，从句主语a party和从句谓语动词hold之间是被动关系，此处应用情态动词被动语态(should) be done形式，故填(should) be held。
【74题详解】
考查定语从句。句意同上。分析句子可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是Gladys，指人，关系词替代先行词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词who引导，故填who。
【75题详解】
考查冠词。句意：最后，聚会到来了。结合上文提到的“a party”可知，此处指代上文已经提到过的事物，应用定冠词the表特指，故填the。
【76题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：时钟敲了八下，客人们很快就要来了。guest“客人”，可数名词，由were可知此处应用名词复数形式，在句中作主语，故填guests。
【77题详解】
考查介词。句意：Claire让Tony结束了当晚的工作，但Tony把Claire抱在怀里。take…in one’s arms“把……抱在怀里”，故填in。

A
PRACTITIONERS
Jacqueline Felice de Almania (c.1322) highlights the suspicion that women practicing medicine faced. Born to a Jewish family in Florence, she moved to Paris where she worked as a physician and performed surgery. In 1322 she was tried for practicing unlawfully. In spite of the court hearing testimonials (证明) of her ability as a doctor, she was banned from medicine. James Barry (c.1789 — 1865) was born Margaret Bulkley in Ireland but, dressed as a man, she was accepted by Edinburgh University to study medicine. She qualified as a surgeon in 1813, then joined the British Army, serving overseas. Barry retired in 1859, having practiced her entire medical profession living and working as a man.
Tan Yunxian (1461 — 1554) was a Chinese physician who learned her skills from her grandparents. Chinese women at the time could not serve apprenticeships (学徒期) with doctors. However, Tan passed the official exam. Tan treated women from all walks of life. In 1511, Tan wrote a book, Sayings of a Female Doctor, describing her life as a physician. Rebecca Lee Crumpler (1831 — 1895) worked as a nurse for eight years before studying in medical college in Boston in 1860. Four years later, she was the first African American woman to receive a medical degree. She moved to Virginia in 1865, where she provided medical care to freed slaves.
21. What did Jacqueline and James have in common
A. Doing teaching jobs. B. Being hired as physicians.
C. Performing surgery. D. Being banned from medicine.
22. How was Tan Yunxian different from the other practitioners
A. She wrote a book. B. She went through trials.
C. She worked as a dentist. D. She had formal education.
23. Who was the first African American with a medical degree
A. Jacqueline Felice de Almania. B. Tan Yunxian.
C. James Barry. D. Rebecca Lee Crumpler.

William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13, 1865. His childhood lacked the harmony that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered "little of childhood but its pain". In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from his family — both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama and poetry.
Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning. He didn't lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.
Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats's poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition.
He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923. Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats's Death in 1939, W. H. Auden wrote, among others, the following lines:
Earth, receive an honoured guest:
William Yeats is laid to rest.
Let the Irish vessel (船) lie
Emptied of its poetry.
24. Which of the following can describe Yeats's family
A. It filled Yeats's childhood with laughter.
B. It was shocked by Yeats's choice.
C. It was a typically wealthy family.
D. It had an artistic atmosphere.
25. According to the passage, what do we know about Yeats's life
A. Yeats founded the first Irish theater.
B. Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry.
C. Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.
D. Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize.
26. What kind of feeling is expressed in W. H. Auden's lines
A. Envy B. Sympathy C. Emptiness D. Admiration
27. What is the passage mainly about
A. Yeats's literary achievements B. Yeats's historical influence
C. Yeats's artistic ambition D. Yeats's national honor
C
The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem (生态系统). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna (大草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat (栖息地).
It is the elephant’s great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.
Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.
What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.
28. What is the passage mainly about
A. Disappearance of African elephants.
B. Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.
C. The effect of African elephants’ search for food.
D. The eating habit of African elephants.
29 What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean
A. Fixing the time.
B. Worsening the state.
C. Improving the quality.
D. Deciding the conditions.
30. What do we know about the open spaces in the passage
A They result from the destruction of rain forests.
B. They provide food mainly for African elephants.
C. They are home to many endangered animals.
D. They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.
31. The passage is developed mainly by______.
A. showing the effect and then explaining the causes
B. pointing out similarities and differences
C. describing the changes in spare order
D. giving examples

I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness. ____34____ Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.
