Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.Have you ever seen an old movie called Three Coins in the Fountain It is about three young American women 21. (search) for permanent romance in Rome and they all find it. Far-fetched Hollywood Well, from the world history point of view, romance did, in fact, set down its roots in Rome.The word romance evolved in Latin from Roma to Romanicus of the Roman language, to the Old French romanz escrive, 22. means "to write in a Romance language," and on to the English romance.The Romance languages 23. (compose) of seven groups of languages that all have Latin 24. their basis. These languages include French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. The common people in ancient Rome spoke 25. is referred to as Vulgar Latin, an informal speech, as opposed to the classical Latin of the more educated. Most language experts agree that Vulgar Latin is the chief source of the Romance languages.Medieval Romances were tales 26. (write) primary in French verse about brave heroes. The notion of having a romance with another person is thought 27. (develop) sometime during the Middle Ages. In the late 18th century and on through the 19th, a romance was not a love story 28. a work of prose fiction that contained far-fetched, mysterious events. Romances of this period 29. (include) English Gothic novels like The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole.What exactly is a twentieth-century romance Does it have any relationship with the lively, popular novels written today, with their fantastic plots of love affairs Or did the playwright Oscar Wilde have it right in The Picture of Dorian Gray: "When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving 30. , and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance."三、选词填空Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. competence B. repetitive C. dramatically D. pace E. routinely AB. Beating AC. blowing AD. worthy AE. shallowly BC. ease BD. readinessHow to prevent and fight anxiety Lingering anxiety can keep you up at night, make you easily annoyed, weaken your ability to concentrate, and ruin your appetite. And the constant state of 31. generated by anxiety — adrenaline (肾上腺素) pumping, heart racing, palms sweating-may contribute to high blood pressure and heart disease.How to prevent anxiety then Meditate.Maybe you're just nervous. If so, meditation is 32. of a try. It cultivates a calmness that will 33. anxious feelings and offer a sense of control. A study at the University of Massachusetts found that volunteers who took an 8-week meditation course, were considerably less anxious afterward. People who are nervous find that they are 34. calmer with 20 minutes of meditation in the morning and another 20 minutes after dinner.Jog, walk, swim, or cycle.If you can't make time for meditation, be sure to make time for regular exercise. Exercise can have the same calming effect as meditation, particularly if it's something 35. like running or swimming laps.Treatment Remember to breathe. When you're anxious, you tend to hold your breath or breathe too 36. . That makes you feel more anxious. Breathing slowly and deeply can have a calming effect.Let's say you are anxious about your 37. on the job. Ask yourself "What, in particular, am I afraid that I'll mess up " Maybe you're afraid that you get further behind and miss your deadlines. Or maybe you're worried that you're 38. it whenever you present your ideas in meetings. Are your worries reasonable Have you had several near misses with deadlines Are your suggestions 39. rejected If not, the anxiety is needless. If there is a real problem, work on a solution: 40. yourself to better meet deadlines, or join a public speaking class.四、完形填空For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.One of the presents in my house this Christmas was a late 18th-century volume of the Encyclopaedia Britannica (大英百科全书). It is a window into the discoveries and thinking of the time. The encyclopaedia is an entertaining reminder of how 41. some of our current truths are bound to be. Certainties in areas we haven't yet understood will look just as ridiculous as some of these in centuries to come. And one of those we are still remarkably 42. is the effect of food and exercise on our bodies. We're surrounded by confident 43. on how to eat, how to avoid or reverse obesity(肥胖),and yet the advice seems pointless while the world gets fatter. Much of what we think we know is a pile of assumptions rather than 44. .Our confusion is the theme of Spoon-Fed, a book by one of Britain's leading nutrition researchers, Tim Spector of King's College London. Its subtitle is: "Why almost everything we've been told about food is wrong." It is a call for us to 45. more.One by one Spector offers answers to recent food 46. . Coffee can save our lives, he says. Three to four cups a day reduces the risk of heart disease and may cut the risk of death by 8 per cent. Butter does not damage our hearts, Spector argues, and salt is vital. Eggs have gone "from heroes to villains and back again". Don't say no to all red meat on 47. grounds; occasional small quantities of high-quality unprocessed meat provide important vitamins and iron and are "probably good for you". Exercise is so good for longevity and happiness that it should be considered our No 1 drug, but the one thing for which it's 48. useless is losing weight. Vitamin pills are a multibillion-pound industry with almost no proven 49. but which can cause real harm. Even vitamin D, which Spector used to study and believe in, he now 50. .Spector also offers more than a set of currently 51. tips. The science of nutrition has not been solved by him, as he would be the first to admit. His most 52. point is that there is no one size that fits all. Our bodies are complex, and our reactions are 53. : yet nobody wants to pay for the research that might explain why.Some combination of food choices, genes, environment and the chemical reactions generated by our microbiome—the unique microbe (微生物的)combinations in our body― yes different 54. for each of us, leaving some lean and two thirds of us too fat. This is the territory Spector wants to explore further and which might just allow us to 55. the global trend to obesity, with all the risks we've witnessed this year.41.A.well-known B.aim-oriented C.ill-founded D.long-lived42.A.certain about B.ignorant of C.capable of D.worried about43.A.decisions B.courses C.focuses D.suggestions44.A.facts B.chances C.reasons D.features45.A.investigate B.demand C.concentrate D.spend46.A.supplies B.shortages C.standards D.myths47.A.culture B.history C.economy D.health48.A.equally B.practically C.socially D.impossibly49.A.effectiveness B.consciousnessC.competitiveness D.emptiness50.A.serves B.shares C.recognizes D.dismisses51.A.pointless B.topical C.defensible D.additional52.A.emotional B.significant C.questionable D.forgivable53.A.individual B.unpredictable C.important D.available54.A.changes B.outcomes C.profits D.addicts55.A.start B.analyze C.stop D.reflect五、阅读理解ABBC Science Focus Magazine Subscription Ideas, discoveries, and the big questions answered Annual frequency: 14 Issues Per Year Delivery: UK & Worldwide Next issue available: 08 Jul 2023 Cancellation About the magazine FAQ Give a gift Q.

These findings show that the Maya developed their civilization centuries earlier than experts thought. While Europe was still in the midst of the Dark Ages, these Maya had charted the heavens, evolved the only true writing system native to the Americas and were masters of mathematics and calendar. Without advantage of metal tools, beasts of burden or even the wheel, they were able to construct vast cities. Their legacy in stone, which has survived in an impressive fashion at places, lives on as do the seven million descendants (后嗣) of the classic Maya civilization.Scientists have made some recent discoveries about the ancient Maya people. Experts call the time between the year 250 and the year 1900 the Classic Maya Period. It was a period of great civilization. Until now, scientists think that earlier Maya people were simple farmers. The discoveries show that they used writing, drew pictures and built complex structures. Three separate teams made the discoveries in the rainforest of Guatemala (危地马拉).Scientists have found some things they say are more than 2000 years old. For example, a team found two masks inside the main pyramid in a city. These masks are three meters tall. They are cut in the image of a sun god. The Maya used the pyramid as a temple. The masks may have been a part of ceremonies led by a king.At Waka, scientists found the burial place of a woman they think was a Maya queen. They believe she ruled more than 1,200 years ago. Her bones were lying on a stone table. Many jewels surrounded her remains. The team also found pieces of green stone that appeared to be the remains of the kind of war helmet worn by rulers. Scientists say the discovery will help them understand how Maya women shared power with men. Not many burial places of important royal women have been found. Also in northern Guatemala, scientists found a stone showing an 8th-century king playing a game of ball with visiting rulers. It is the third such stone found at the city of Cancuen. They also found large pieces of stone with writing and pictures of leaders. A Guatemalan expert called it one of the greater masterpieces of Maya art ever discovered in Guatemala.59.How is the text organized A.Supporting examples—Argument—Explanation.B.Opinion—Discussion—Important descriptionC.Main idea—Conclusion—Supporting examplesD.Introduction—Supporting examples—Comparison60.The scientists' findings show that ____.A.Maya people lived a simple life in Guatemala in the midst of the Dark AgesB.the Maya developed their civilization centuries earlier than experts thoughtC.Maya people succeeded in their legacy from generation to generationD.the classic Maya civilization that their ancestors created is attractive61.Which of the following is the most valuable according to the passage A.two masks inside the main pyramid in a cityB.a burial place of a womanC.a stone showing an 8th-century kingD.large pieces of stone with writing and pictures of leaders62.What might be the most suitable title for the text A.Earlier Development of Maya B.The Greatest DiscoveryC.A Research on Maya D.A Scientific AdventureCWriter and journalist Cristina Odone aroused widespread anger by suggesting that her daughter was being pressured to take science for graduation exams and this was unreasonable for a child with a literary bent. She even claimed that "this focus on STEM[Science,Technology,Engineering and Mathematics] subjects sends a message that makes her and me uncomfortable:doing a man's work is more impressive than doing a woman's. "Like many others, I totally disagree with her position as a scientist. Taking science to age 16 should simply be seen as part of obtaining a well-rounded education. Furthermore, identifying STEM as a man's subject leads in part to our serious lack of diversity(多样性)in the scientific workforce. Meanwhile, many male authors and poets might be surprised to learn that literature is"woman's work".Novelist Lucy Ellman once wrote,"The purpose of artists is to ask the right questions, even if we don't find the answers,whereas the aim of science is to prove some silly points. " But proving some silly points might save your life,light your home,allow you to surf the web or visit your relatives living far away. Only someone who has never considered how extensive the outputs of science are in our society could write such a"silly"sentence.However, having said that, I am not trying to denigrate the work of the humanities. I do not see this as an either/or situation but it's all part of being human. I admire and appreciate those who try to express things hard to be described in words, but it simply isn't my strength. I may wholeheartedly believe that science is vital but that doesn't mean I think the humanities(or indeed the social sciences)are not. Since science costs more to do than arts subjects, more funding should go to science. That statement is not equal to saying that the humanities should not be properly funded. Somehow, we are constantly being put in opposition, a divide that is damaging to both scientists and non-scientists.So why are the humanities important to me?I would say it is exactly because I am human. I sit here typing listening to a Schubert piano trio. I have been reading EP Thompson's The Making of the English Working Class to try to understand how our society was and is the shape it is. Scientists may be capable of dealing with the ethics(道德标准) of their work, but they cannot and should not answer the question of whether we should do this in isolation. Answering the many questions that our developing scientific capabilities throw up requires the input of researchers from many fields.So let us enjoy our capabilities on all fronts, recognizing that we each have different strengths and weaknesses. It's time to ban the damaging divide that sets one part of the research community against another and celebrate our humanity as well as the Humanities.63.The writer quotes words from Cristina Odone and Lucy Ellman to show that____.A.doing a man's work is more impressive than doing a woman'sB.some people may have a narrow understanding of scienceC.the purposes of artists and scientists are totally differentD.a well-rounded education is crucial to the diversity in society64.By saying "I am not trying to denigrate the work of the humanities", the writer probably means____.A."I am not an expert in the work of the humanities"B."I don't think the work of the humanities important"C."I don't want to play down the work of the humanities"D."I admire and appreciate the work of the humanities"65.Why does the writer mention listening to music and reading books in Paragraph 5 A.To explain how extensive the outputs of science are.B.To call on scientists to understand the society and the shape of it.C.To prove that the humanities are important to scientists too.D.To advise scientists to deal with the ethics of their work.66.The purpose of this passage is to ____.A.reveal people's weakness in expressing complex thoughts in words.B.reject the idea that science only proves some silly points.C.illustrate that scientists have strengths and weaknesses.D.appeal to stop treating humanities and science as opposites.六、任务型阅读Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. But texting instead of talking can seem antisocial. B. It can also be quicker than having to chat with someone, although I feel you can still end up wasting time by having a full discussion by text! C. But despite having the instant ability to talk to one another, it seems many of us prefer to communicate by text. D. If it's taking you more than 10 minutes to compose a response, you may be better off calling the person. E. The privacy of messages sent and received is protected. F. But what our smartphones now allow us to do enables us to communicate in any number of quick, cheap but silent ways.Texting or Talking The telephone was an amazing invention. People could finally speak to each other instantly from one home to another. The mobile phone took this technology further, meaning we could make contact with people to and from almost anywhere in the world. 67. I don't mean we have taken up letter writing again. Although a handwritten letter has a personal touch, sending it by post is too slow to satisfy our desire to keep in touch immediately. 68. A study in the UK a few years ago found 49 per cent of teenagers preferred to send a text rather than speak to someone.Certainly sending an SMS, text or message through a chat app means we can compose what we want to say, and we can be more efficient in saying it — especially if we express ourselves by using emojis (表情符号). 69. Text messaging also allows privacy — other people can't overhear your text if you're in a public place such as on a train. 70. We may even forget the art of pleasantries (客套). A text can be misinterpreted too because you miss out on a speaker's intonation (语调). We always speak with melody and intonation to our voice… you take that channel of information out of communication, you lose another way that sense is being conveyed.七、概要写作71.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passageinno more than 60 words. Use your own words as faraspossible.Don't judge a book by its cover"Don't judge a book by its cover," the old sayinggoes. Unfortunately, as a teenager, that is often exactly what you do to yourself.Dark thoughts about your physicalappearance can hang over youall the time like a rain cloud. Do I look fat in these jeans Do others think I am too short What are the causes behind them Standards of beauty in the media can have a big influenceon what you think of your physicalappearance. Teens who tryto copy the looks of their favourite stars are fightinga losing battle—these standards are simply impossible for most of the population to live up to. They will only end up feeling worse about themselves. Your friends also influencethe way you view your physicalappearance. If youhave friends who are good-looking or have a great fashion sense, it canfeel like you are living in their shadow.These external influences are always present, but there are certainly ways to deal with them. First of all, be careful not to follow popular beauty standardsblindly. They are out of reach for 99% of us,so it is betterto just forget about them. Another tip is to remind yourselfthat you are unique.Everyone has their own talents—you may be good at paintingor playing the piano, so take pride in things you do well instead of worryingabout things you cannot change.Focusing on your strengths helps you buildyour confidence.Finally, it is a good idea to try to direct your attention away from negativethoughts. To achievethis, you should do somethingyou enjoy. Read a book you like, or take part in a social activity,like playing a ball game with your friends.These things can help you take your mind off matters that worryyou and make you feelgood about yourself.If you can learn to see the good things about yourself—your individuality, your value to others, your achievements—you will soon beginto love yourself just the way you are.八、翻译72. 篮球队的成功有赖于学校的大力支持,学校提供了充足的资金用于购买训练设施等必需品。(provide)73. 有了这个应用程序,用户很容易就能在手机上进行个性化学习。(it)74. 这个古镇以许多传统活动为特色,是绝佳的旅游胜地。(feature v.)75. 在网上下单时,记得核对信息。(order)九书面表达76.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.One of the presents in my house this Christmas was a late 18th-century volume of the Encyclopaedia Britannica (大英百科全书). It is a window into the discoveries and thinking of the time. The encyclopaedia is an entertaining reminder of how 41. some of our current truths are bound to be. Certainties in areas we haven't yet understood will look just as ridiculous as some of these in centuries to come. And one of those we are still remarkably 42. is the effect of food and exercise on our bodies. We're surrounded by confident 43. on how to eat, how to avoid or reverse obesity(肥胖),and yet the advice seems pointless while the world gets fatter. Much of what we think we know is a pile of assumptions rather than 44. .Our confusion is the theme of Spoon-Fed, a book by one of Britain's leading nutrition researchers, Tim Spector of King's College London. Its subtitle is: "Why almost everything we've been told about food is wrong." It is a call for us to 45. more.One by one Spector offers answers to recent food 46. . Coffee can save our lives, he says. Three to four cups a day reduces the risk of heart disease and may cut the risk of death by 8 per cent. Butter does not damage our hearts, Spector argues, and salt is vital. Eggs have gone "from heroes to villains and back again". Don't say no to all red meat on 47. grounds; occasional small quantities of high-quality unprocessed meat provide important vitamins and iron and are "probably good for you". Exercise is so good for longevity and happiness that it should be considered our No 1 drug, but the one thing for which it's 48. useless is losing weight. Vitamin pills are a multibillion-pound industry with almost no proven 49. but which can cause real harm. Even vitamin D, which Spector used to study and believe in, he now 50. .Spector also offers more than a set of currently 51. tips. The science of nutrition has not been solved by him, as he would be the first to admit. His most 52. point is that there is no one size that fits all. Our bodies are complex, and our reactions are 53. : yet nobody wants to pay for the research that might explain why.Some combination of food choices, genes, environment and the chemical reactions generated by our microbiome—the unique microbe (微生物的)combinations in our body― yes different 54. for each of us, leaving some lean and two thirds of us too fat. This is the territory Spector wants to explore further and which might just allow us to 55. the global trend to obesity, with all the risks we've witnessed this year.41.A.well-known B.aim-oriented C.ill-founded D.long-lived42.A.certain about B.ignorant of C.capable of D.worried about43.A.decisions B.courses C.focuses D.suggestions44.A.facts B.chances C.reasons D.features45.A.investigate B.demand C.concentrate D.spend46.A.supplies B.shortages C.standards D.myths47.A.culture B.history C.economy D.health48.A.equally B.practically C.socially D.impossibly49.A.effectiveness B.consciousnessC.competitiveness D.emptiness50.A.serves B.shares C.recognizes D.dismisses51.A.pointless B.topical C.defensible D.additional52.A.emotional B.significant C.questionable D.forgivable53.A.individual B.unpredictable C.important D.available54.A.changes B.outcomes C.profits D.addicts55.A.start B.analyze C.stop D.reflect【答案】41.C;42.B;43.D;44.A;45.A;46.D;47.D;48.B;49.A;50.D;51.C;52.B;53.A;54.B;55.C【解析】【分析】本文为记叙文。讲述作者通过阅读大英百科全书了解了许多知识,知道了当前的一些真理是多么缺乏依据,其中之一是我们对食物和运动对我们身体的影响仍然感到非常无知。通过阅读,作者知道了营养学家Spector逐一为最近的食物谬见提供了答案和建议,并了解了他想要进一步探索,阻止全球肥胖趋势,以及我们今年目睹的所有风险。【点评】考查完形填空,首先通读一遍文章,跳过缺失的单词,初步了解文章大意,再根据上下文来判断选项,最后对选项进行区别,选出正确的那一项。特别注意日常对词汇的积累和运用。41.句意:这本百科全书以一种有趣的方式提醒我们,我们当前的一些真理是多么缺乏依据。well-known出名的;aim-oriented目标导向的;ill-founded无正当理由的;无确实根据的;long-lived历时长久的,持久的。下文Certainties in areas we haven't yet understood will look just as ridiculous as some of these in centuries to come(在未来的几个世纪里,我们确定尚未了解的领域将和其中的一些一样荒谬)可知当前的一些真理是缺乏依据的,故选C。42.句意:其中一个我们仍然非常无知的是食物和运动对我们身体的影响。此处构成短语,certain about对......确定;ignorant of对......无知;capable of有能力做……;worried about担心……。 根据关键词areas we haven't yet understood will look just as ridiculous,one of those说明此处继续在说缺乏依据的一些说法,故选B。43.句意:我们被关于如何饮食、如何避免或逆转肥胖的自信建议所包围,然而在世界变得越来越胖的时候,这些建议似乎毫无意义。decisions决定;courses课程,路线;focuses重点,中心点,关注;suggestions建议。此处由下文提示词the advice暗示出答案,故选D。44.句意:我们认为自己知道的很多东西都是一堆假设,而不是事实。facts事实;chances机会;reasons理由;features特色,特征。 根据关键词rather than可知空处是与assumptions(假设)相反的词,故选A。45.句意:这呼吁我们进行更多的调查。investigate调查;demand要求;concentrate专注;spend花费,度过。根据上文Its subtitle is:"Why almost everything we've been told about food is wrong."可知一位营养学家认为关于食物的说法都是错误的,这让作者很困惑,所以需要人们多调查,多研究,故选A。46.句意:Spector逐一为最近的食物谬见提供了答案。supplies供应;shortages短缺,不足;standards标准;myths神话,谬见。根据上文可知Spector认为关于食物的说法都是错误的,所以此处是为最近的食物谬见提供了答案,故选D。47.句意:不要以健康为由拒绝所有红肉。culture文化;history历史;economy经济;health健康。此处使用短语on...grounds基于......的理由,根据上文Three to four cups a day reduces the risk of heart disease and may cut the risk of death by 8 per cent...可知Spector给出的例子都是关于身体健康的,故选D。48.句意:运动对长寿和快乐是如此有益,它应该被视为我们的头号药物,但它实际上对减肥毫无用处。equally平等地;practically几乎,实际地 ;socially社会地;impossibly不可能地。本句前面讲述运动的好处,根据转折连词but,说明下文讲述运动的缺点,此处使用practically修饰形容词useless,故选B。49.句意:维生素片是一个价值数十亿英镑的产业,几乎没有证据显示有效,但却会造成真正的伤害。effectiveness有效性,效力;consciousness知觉,意识;competitiveness竞争力,好胜;emptiness空虚,空。此处讲述Vitamin pills的无效性,根据关键词no proven,可知effectiveness符合语境,故选A。50.句意:即使是Spector曾经研究并相信的维生素D,他现在也不考虑了。serves充当,服务,(给……)提供; shares分享;recognizes辨认出;dismisses解雇,不考虑。根据上文but which can cause real harm可知Spector认为维生素片会造成伤害,所以D项合理,故选D。51.句意:Spector还提供了一系列目前站得住的建议。pointless毫无意义的;topical当前关注的,热门话题的;defensible有正当理由的,可防御的;additional额外的。根据上文可知Spector逐一为最近的食物谬见提供了答案,此处由关键词also offers,tips可知此处他还提供了有正当理由的,站得住的建议,故选C。52.句意:正如他第一个承认的那样,营养科学还没有被他解决。他最重要的观点是,没有放之四海而皆准的标准。emotional情绪的,激动人心的;significant显著的,重要的;questionable可疑的,不确定的,有问题的;forgivable可宽恕的,可原谅的。上文提到Spector还提供了一系列目前站得住的建议,此处依然指的是他的重要建议(观点)之一,故选B。53.句意:我们的身体是复杂的,我们的反应是个体的,然而还没有人愿意为可能解释原因的研究买单。individual个人的;unpredictable难以预测的;important重要的;available可得到的。根据常识,每个人的反应都不同,是个体行为,故选A。54.句意:食物选择、基因、环境和微生物群(我们体内独特的微生物组合)产生的化学反应的某种组合,对我们每个人都有不同的结果,导致一些人偏瘦,三分之二的人过于肥胖。changes变化;outcomes结果;profits利润;addicts上瘾者。根据文章leaving some lean and two thirds of us too fat可知这是化学反应组合的结果,由单词leave可以点明,故选B。55.句意:这是Spector想要进一步探索的领域,这可能会让我们阻止全球肥胖趋势,以及我们今年目睹的所有风险。start开始;analyze分析;stop停止;reflect反思,反射。根据下文the global trend to obesity, with all the risks we've witnessed this year可知这些是全球需要处理阻止的事情,故选C。五、阅读理解Reading ComprehensionBBC Science Focus Magazine Subscription Ideas, discoveries, and the big questions answered Annual frequency: 14 Issues Per Year Delivery: UK & Worldwide Next issue available: 08 Jul 2023 Cancellation About the magazine FAQ Give a gift Q.

These findings show that the Maya developed their civilization centuries earlier than experts thought. While Europe was still in the midst of the Dark Ages, these Maya had charted the heavens, evolved the only true writing system native to the Americas and were masters of mathematics and calendar. Without advantage of metal tools, beasts of burden or even the wheel, they were able to construct vast cities. Their legacy in stone, which has survived in an impressive fashion at places, lives on as do the seven million descendants (后嗣) of the classic Maya civilization.Scientists have made some recent discoveries about the ancient Maya people. Experts call the time between the year 250 and the year 1900 the Classic Maya Period. It was a period of great civilization. Until now, scientists think that earlier Maya people were simple farmers. The discoveries show that they used writing, drew pictures and built complex structures. Three separate teams made the discoveries in the rainforest of Guatemala (危地马拉).Scientists have found some things they say are more than 2000 years old. For example, a team found two masks inside the main pyramid in a city. These masks are three meters tall. They are cut in the image of a sun god. The Maya used the pyramid as a temple. The masks may have been a part of ceremonies led by a king.At Waka, scientists found the burial place of a woman they think was a Maya queen. They believe she ruled more than 1,200 years ago. Her bones were lying on a stone table. Many jewels surrounded her remains. The team also found pieces of green stone that appeared to be the remains of the kind of war helmet worn by rulers. Scientists say the discovery will help them understand how Maya women shared power with men. Not many burial places of important royal women have been found. Also in northern Guatemala, scientists found a stone showing an 8th-century king playing a game of ball with visiting rulers. It is the third such stone found at the city of Cancuen. They also found large pieces of stone with writing and pictures of leaders. A Guatemalan expert called it one of the greater masterpieces of Maya art ever discovered in Guatemala.59.How is the text organized A.Supporting examples—Argument—Explanation.B.Opinion—Discussion—Important descriptionC.Main idea—Conclusion—Supporting examplesD.Introduction—Supporting examples—Comparison60.The scientists' findings show that ____.A.Maya people lived a simple life in Guatemala in the midst of the Dark AgesB.the Maya developed their civilization centuries earlier than experts thoughtC.Maya people succeeded in their legacy from generation to generationD.the classic Maya civilization that their ancestors created is attractive61.Which of the following is the most valuable according to the passage A.two masks inside the main pyramid in a cityB.a burial place of a womanC.a stone showing an 8th-century kingD.large pieces of stone with writing and pictures of leaders62.What might be the most suitable title for the text A.Earlier Development of Maya B.The Greatest DiscoveryC.A Research on Maya D.A Scientific Adventure【答案】59.C60.B61.D62.A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道,报道了在中美洲,科学家们最近有了一些关于古玛雅人的发现。这些发现表明,玛雅文明的发展比专家们认为的还要早几个世纪。【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查,是一篇新闻报道,通读全文,理解文章大意,阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容,仔细核对,选择符合原文原意的答案,完成后再次阅读并检查。59.考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"In Central America, scientists have made some recent discoveries about the ancient Maya people. These findings show that the Maya developed their civilization centuries earlier than experts thought."在中美洲,科学家们最近有了一些关于古玛雅人的发现。这些发现表明,玛雅文明的发展比专家们认为的还要早几个世纪。可知,第一段笼统地介绍科学家有了一些发现,是本文的文章大意;第二段"Scientists have made some recent discoveries about the ancient Maya people. Experts call the time between the year 250 and the year 1900 the Classic Maya Period. It was a period of great civilization. Until now, scientists think that earlier Maya people were simple farmers. The discoveries show that they used writing, drew pictures and built complex structures. Three separate teams made the discoveries in the rainforest of Guatemala (危地马拉)."科学家们最近对古玛雅人有了一些发现。专家称公元250年到1900年这段时间为经典玛雅时期。那是一个伟大的文明时期。到目前为止,科学家们认为早期的玛雅人是简单的农民。这些发现表明,他们使用文字、绘画和建造复杂的结构。三个独立的小组在危地马拉的雨林中发现了这些化石。可知,第二段是总结这些发现的意义;第三段中的"Scientists have found some things they say are more than 2000 years old. For example, a team found two masks inside the main pyramid in a city. These masks are three meters tall."科学家们发现了一些据说有2000多年历史的东西。例如,一个团队在一个城市的主金字塔内发现了两个面具。这些面具有三米高;以及最后一段中的"At Waka, scientists found the burial place of a woman they think was a Maya queen."在瓦卡,科学家们发现了一名女性的墓地,他们认为她是玛雅女王;和"Also in northern Guatemala, scientists found a stone showing an 8th-century king playing a game of ball with visiting rulers."同样在危地马拉北部,科学家们发现了一块石头,上面画着一位8世纪的国王正在和来访的统治者玩球。"可知,最后两段是举例说明具体的发现有哪些,因此文章的结构是大意——结论——支持性的例子,故选C。60.考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"In Central America, scientists have made some recent discoveries about the ancient Maya people. These findings show that the Maya developed their civilization centuries earlier than experts thought."在中美洲,科学家们最近有了一些关于古玛雅人的发现。这些发现表明,玛雅文明的发展比专家们认为的要早几个世纪。可知,科学家的发现表明玛雅文明的发展比专家们认为的要早几个世纪,故选B。61.考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的"They also found large pieces of stone with writing and pictures of leaders. A Guatemalan expert called it one of the greatest masterpieces of Maya art ever discovered in Guatemala."他们还发现了刻有领导人文字和照片的大块石头。一位危地马拉专家称这是危地马拉有史以来发现的最伟大的玛雅艺术杰作之一。可知,最有价值的是刻有领导人文字和照片的大块石头,故选D。62.考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的"In Central America, scientists have made some recent discoveries about the ancient Maya people. These findings show that the Maya developed their civilization centuries earlier than experts thought."在中美洲,科学家们最近有了一些关于古玛雅人的发现。这些发现表明,玛雅文明的发展比专家们认为的要早几个世纪。可知,本文主要讲的是玛雅的早期发展,"玛雅的早期发展"适合做文章的标题,故选A。阅读理解Writer and journalist Cristina Odone aroused widespread anger by suggesting that her daughter was being pressured to take science for graduation exams and this was unreasonable for a child with a literary bent. She even claimed that "this focus on STEM[Science,Technology,Engineering and Mathematics] subjects sends a message that makes her and me uncomfortable:doing a man's work is more impressive than doing a woman's. "Like many others, I totally disagree with her position as a scientist. Taking science to age 16 should simply be seen as part of obtaining a well-rounded education. Furthermore, identifying STEM as a man's subject leads in part to our serious lack of diversity(多样性)in the scientific workforce. Meanwhile, many male authors and poets might be surprised to learn that literature is"woman's work".Novelist Lucy Ellman once wrote,"The purpose of artists is to ask the right questions, even if we don't find the answers,whereas the aim of science is to prove some silly points. " But proving some silly points might save your life,light your home,allow you to surf the web or visit your relatives living far away. Only someone who has never considered how extensive the outputs of science are in our society could write such a"silly"sentence.However, having said that, I am not trying to denigrate the work of the humanities. I do not see this as an either/or situation but it's all part of being human. I admire and appreciate those who try to express things hard to be described in words, but it simply isn't my strength. I may wholeheartedly believe that science is vital but that doesn't mean I think the humanities(or indeed the social sciences)are not. Since science costs more to do than arts subjects, more funding should go to science. That statement is not equal to saying that the humanities should not be properly funded. Somehow, we are constantly being put in opposition, a divide that is damaging to both scientists and non-scientists.So why are the humanities important to me?I would say it is exactly because I am human. I sit here typing listening to a Schubert piano trio. I have been reading EP Thompson's The Making of the English Working Class to try to understand how our society was and is the shape it is. Scientists may be capable of dealing with the ethics(道德标准) of their work, but they cannot and should not answer the question of whether we should do this in isolation. Answering the many questions that our developing scientific capabilities throw up requires the input of researchers from many fields.So let us enjoy our capabilities on all fronts, recognizing that we each have different strengths and weaknesses. It's time to ban the damaging divide that sets one part of the research community against another and celebrate our humanity as well as the Humanities.63.The writer quotes words from Cristina Odone and Lucy Ellman to show that____.A.doing a man's work is more impressive than doing a woman'sB.some people may have a narrow understanding of scienceC.the purposes of artists and scientists are totally differentD.a well-rounded education is crucial to the diversity in society64.By saying "I am not trying to denigrate the work of the humanities", the writer probably means____.A."I am not an expert in the work of the humanities"B."I don't think the work of the humanities important"C."I don't want to play down the work of the humanities"D."I admire and appreciate the work of the humanities"65.Why does the writer mention listening to music and reading books in Paragraph 5 A.To explain how extensive the outputs of science are.B.To call on scientists to understand the society and the shape of it.C.To prove that the humanities are important to scientists too.D.To advise scientists to deal with the ethics of their work.66.The purpose of this passage is to ____.A.reveal people's weakness in expressing complex thoughts in words.B.reject the idea that science only proves some silly points.C.illustrate that scientists have strengths and weaknesses.D.appeal to stop treating humanities and science as opposites.【答案】63.B64.C65.C66.D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了人文科学对科学家们的重要重要性,并且呼吁人文和科学停止对立,告诉我们人文与科学是息息相关的。【点评】本题考点涉及句义猜测和推理判断两个题型的考查,是一篇科研类阅读,通读全文,理解文章大意,阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容,仔细核对,选择符合原文原意的答案,完成后再次阅读并检查。63.考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"Writer and journalist Cristina Odone aroused widespread anger by suggesting that her daughter was being pressured to take science for graduation exams and this was unreasonable for a child with a literary bent." 作家兼记者克里斯蒂娜·奥登暗示她的女儿面临压力去参加科学毕业考试,这对一个有文学倾向的孩子来说不合理,引起了普遍愤怒;以及第三段中的"Novelist Lucy Ellman once wrote,‘The purpose of artists is to ask the right questions,even if we don't find the answers,whereas the aim of science is to prove some silly points.'"小说家露西·埃尔曼曾经写道:"艺术家的目的是问正确的问题,即使我们找不找到答案,而科学的目的是证明一些愚蠢的观点。"可知作者引用Cristina Odone和Lucy Ellman的话表明有些人可能对科学有一个狭隘的理解,故选B。64.考查句义猜测。根据第四段中的"I do not see this as an either/or situation but it's all part of being human. I admire and appreciate those who try to express things hard to be described in words, but it simply isn't my strength."我不把这些看做是一种情况,但它是人类的一部分。我钦佩和欣赏那些试图用语言表达难以描述的事情的人,但这根本不是我的力量。可知作者的意思是他并不想贬低人文科学的工作,因此推断划线句"I am not trying to denigrate the work of the humanities."句意为:然而,话虽如此,我并不是在试图诋毁人文学科的工作。"故选C。65.考查推理判断。根据第五段中的"I sit here typing listening to a Schubert piano trio. I have been reading EP Thompson's The Making of the English Working Class to try to understand how our society was and is the shape it is. Scientists may be capable of dealing with the ethics(道德标准) of their work, but they cannot and should not answer the question of whether we should do this in isolation." 我坐在这里打字,听着舒伯特钢琴三重奏。我一直在阅读汤普森的《英国工人阶级的塑造》,试图了解我们的社会现状。科学家们可能有能力处理他们的工作中的道德标准,但他们不能也不应该回答我们是否应该孤立地做这些的问题。可知作者提到听音乐和看书是为了向我们证明人文科学对科学家们也很重要,故选C。66.考查推理判断。根据最后一段"So let us enjoy our capabilities on all fronts, recognizing that we each have different strengths and weaknesses. It's time to ban the damaging divide that sets one part of the research community against another and celebrate our humanity as well as the Humanities."所以,让我们享受我们在各个方面的能力,认识到我们每个人都有不同的优势和缺点。是时候禁止让研究界的一部分反对另一部分的破坏性分歧并庆祝我们的人性和人文学科了;以及上文可知,作者在这篇文章中向我们证明了人文科学对科学家们也很重要,并且向我们呼吁停止对人文和科学的对立,故选D。六、任务型阅读Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. But texting instead of talking can seem antisocial. B. It can also be quicker than having to chat with someone, although I feel you can still end up wasting time by having a full discussion by text! C. But despite having the instant ability to talk to one another, it seems many of us prefer to communicate by text. D. If it's taking you more than 10 minutes to compose a response, you may be better off calling the person. E. The privacy of messages sent and received is protected. F. But what our smartphones now allow us to do enables us to communicate in any number of quick, cheap but silent ways.Texting or Talking The telephone was an amazing invention. People could finally speak to each other instantly from one home to another. The mobile phone took this technology further, meaning we could make contact with people to and from almost anywhere in the world. 67. I don't mean we have taken up letter writing again. Although a handwritten letter has a personal touch, sending it by post is too slow to satisfy our desire to keep in touch immediately. 68. A study in the UK a few years ago found 49 per cent of teenagers preferred to send a text rather than speak to someone.Certainly sending an SMS, text or message through a chat app means we can compose what we want to say, and we can be more efficient in saying it — especially if we express ourselves by using emojis (表情符号). 69. Text messaging also allows privacy — other people can't overhear your text if you're in a public place such as on a train. 70. We may even forget the art of pleasantries (客套). A text can be misinterpreted too because you miss out on a speaker's intonation (语调). We always speak with melody and intonation to our voice… you take that channel of information out of communication, you lose another way that sense is being conveyed.【答案】67.C;68.F;69.B;70.A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,论述了用电话发信息和打电话的利弊。【点评】考查六选四,本文是一篇生活类阅读,要求在理解细节信息的基础上,着重考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。67.根据空前"The mobile phone took this technology further, meaning we could make contact with people to and from almost anywhere in the world."手机进一步推动了这项技术的发展,这意味着我们几乎可以与来自世界任何地方的人联系。讲述了手机使得和世界任何地方的人联系变得更加方便;以及空后"I don't mean we have taken up letter writing again."我的意思不是说我们又开始写信了。提到前面说的事情不是写信。所以空处应是与前文形成转折,且讲述的内容应和写信接近,C. But despite having the instant ability to talk to one another, it seems many of us prefer to communicate by text."但是,尽管我们能够即时相互交谈,但我们中的许多人似乎更喜欢通过文本进行交流。"承上启下,符合语境。故选C。68.根据空前"Although a handwritten letter has a personal touch, sending it by post is too slow to satisfy our desire to keep in touch immediately."尽管一封手写的信具有个人色彩,但邮寄太慢,无法满足我们立即保持联系的愿望。讲述了用信交流太慢,无法保持即时联系,F. But what our smartphones now allow us to do enables us to communicate in any number of quick, cheap but silent ways."但我们的智能手机现在允许我们做的事情使我们能够以各种快速、廉价但无声的方式进行交流。"与上文形成转折,指出用智能手机发信息快速、便宜,符合语境,故选F。69.根据空前"Certainly sending an SMS, text or message through a chat app means we can compose what we want to say, and we can be more efficient in saying it — especially if we express ourselves by using emojis(表情符号)."当然,通过聊天应用程序发送SMS、短信或消息意味着我们可以写下我们想说的话,而且我们可以更有效地表达出来——尤其是如果我们使用表情符号来表达自己。讲述了用手机发信息可以组织自己想说的话并且可以更有效地表达出来,B. It can also be quicker than having to chat with someone, although I feel you can still end up wasting time by having a full discussion by text!"这也可以比不得不与某人聊天更快,尽管我觉得你通过短信进行全面讨论仍然会浪费时间!"讲述了用手机发信息的另一个好处,It指代上文的"sending an SMS, text or message through a chat app"。故选B。70.根据空后"We may even forget the art of pleasantries(客套). A text can be misinterpreted too because you miss out on a speaker's intonation(语调)."我们甚至可能忘记了客套的艺术。短信也可能被误解,因为你遗漏了说话者的语调。讲述了发信息的缺点, A. But texting instead of talking can seem antisocial. "但发短信而不是聊天似乎不合群。"与上文讲述的发信息的好处形成转折,衔接下文讲述的发信息的具体坏处。故选A。七、概要写作71.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passageinno more than 60 words. Use your own words as faraspossible.Don't judge a book by its cover"Don't judge a book by its cover," the old sayinggoes. Unfortunately, as a teenager, that is often exactly what you do to yourself.Dark thoughts about your physicalappearance can hang over youall the time like a rain cloud. Do I look fat in these jeans Do others think I am too short What are the causes behind them Standards of beauty in the media can have a big influenceon what you think of your physicalappearance. Teens who tryto copy the looks of their favourite stars are fightinga losing battle—these standards are simply impossible for most of the population to live up to. They will only end up feeling worse about themselves. Your friends also influencethe way you view your physicalappearance. If youhave friends who are good-looking or have a great fashion sense, it canfeel like you are living in their shadow.These external influences are always present, but there are certainly ways to deal with them. First of all, be careful not to follow popular beauty standardsblindly. They are out of reach for 99% of us,so it is betterto just forget about them. Another tip is to remind yourselfthat you are unique.Everyone has their own talents—you may be good at paintingor playing the piano, so take pride in things you do well instead of worryingabout things you cannot change.Focusing on your strengths helps you buildyour confidence.Finally, it is a good idea to try to direct your attention away from negativethoughts. To achievethis, you should do somethingyou enjoy. Read a book you like, or take part in a social activity,like playing a ball game with your friends.These things can help you take your mind off matters that worryyou and make you feelgood about yourself.If you can learn to see the good things about yourself—your individuality, your value to others, your achievements—you will soon beginto love yourself just the way you are.【答案】 Teenagers may have negative thoughts on their physical appearance, which may come from standards of beauty in the media or your friends. To deal with them, you should remember not to follow beauty standards blindly. You can focus on your own talents to gain confidence and do things you enjoy to take your mind off those thoughts.【解析】【分析】本题是一篇概要写作。写作步骤:1)细读原文。首先要仔细阅读短文,掌握文章主旨。本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说,青少年往往受到关于外表的负面想法的影响,本文就如何减少这些影响提出了几点建议。2)弄清结构,归纳段意。概要写作是写全文概要,不是写某一部分的概要,或者就某些问题写出要点。3)列出原文要点。分析原文的内容和结构,将内容分项扼要表述并注意在结构上的顺序。在此基础上选出与文章主题密切相关的部分。4)在写作时要特别注意下面几点:(1)概要应包括原文中的主要事实,略去不必要的细节。(2)安排好篇幅的比例,概要应同原文保持协调,即用较多的文字写重要内容,用较少的文字写次要内容。(3)注意要点之间的衔接,要用适当的关联词语贯通全文,切忌只简单地写出一些互不相干的句子,但也不要每两句之间都加关联词语,以免显得生硬。(4)不排斥用原文的某些词句,但不要照搬原文的句子,如果不能完全用自己的话语表达,至少对原文句子做一些同义词替换,如果结构上也能有一些转换会更好。(5)计算词数,看是否符合规定的词数要求。【点评】本书面表达要点齐全,上下文连贯,使用一定数量的句式结构,让句子更加生动丰满,同时运用了许多高级词汇和固定短语,提高文章的档次,体现了对英语的熟练的驾驭能力。例如:Teenagers may have negative thoughts on their physical appearance, which may come from standards of beauty in the media or your friends. 运用了非限制性定语从句;To deal with them, you should remember not to follow beauty standards blindly. 运用了不定式作目的状语;You can focus on your own talents to gain confidence and do things you enjoy to take your mind off those thoughts.运用了限制性定语从句,不定式作目的状语。八、翻译72. 篮球队的成功有赖于学校的大力支持,学校提供了充足的资金用于购买训练设施等必需品。(provide)【答案】The success of the basketball team depends on the great/strong support from the school, as the school (has) provided sufficient funds for the team to purchase/buy training facilities and other necessaries.【解析】【分析】本句可表示为有as引导的原因状语从句的主从复合句;"篮球队"可表示为basketball team;"……的成功"可表示为the success of...;"有赖于"可表示为depend on;"支持"可表示为support ;"提供"可表示为provide,provide sth. for sb.固定搭配,意为"给某人提供某物";"充足的资金"可表示为sufficient funds;"购买"可表示为purchase/buy,应用不定式作宾语补足语;"训练设施"可表示为training facilities;"必需品"可表示为necessaries。故答案为:The success of the basketball team depends on the great/strong support from the school, as the school has provided sufficient funds for the team to purchase/buy training facilities and other necessaries.【点评】考查汉译英,本题涉及一般现在时,现在完成时/一般过去时,原因状语从句以及固定短语depend on和provide sth. for sb.73. 有了这个应用程序,用户很容易就能在手机上进行个性化学习。(it)【答案】With the app/application, it's easy for users to have personalized learning on their mobile/cell phones.【解析】【分析】句子描述一般性事实,应用一般现在时,本句可用it is+adj.+for sb. to do sth.结构,it是形式主语,真正的主语是不定式。"有了"可表示为with;"应用程序"可表示为app/application;"容易"可表示为easy;"在手机上"可表示为on mobile/cell phones;"个性化学习"可表示为personalized learning。故答案为:With the app/application, it's easy for users to have personalized learning on their mobile/cell phones.【点评】考查汉译英,本题涉及一般现在时,以及固定句式"it is+adj.+for sb. to do sth."。74. 这个古镇以许多传统活动为特色,是绝佳的旅游胜地。(feature v.)【答案】The ancient town features/is featuring a number of traditional events/ activities, and/so it is an ideal/perfect tourist destination.【解析】【分析】句子描述一般性事实,应用一般现在时,根据题干,本句可翻译为and连接的并列句。"古镇"可表示为ancient town;"以……为特色"可表示为feature;"许多"可表示为a number of;"传统活动"可表示为traditional events/ activities;"绝佳的"可表示为ideal/perfect;"旅游胜地"可表示为tourist destination。故答案为:The ancient town features a number of traditional events/ activities, and it is an ideal/a perfect tourist destination.【点评】考查汉译英,本题涉及并列句,以及固定短语a number of。75. 在网上下单时,记得核对信息。(order)【答案】When you order/ordering online, remember to check the information.【解析】【分析】"在网上下单时"可翻译为when引导的时间状语从句;"记得核对信息"可翻译为祈使句。"在网上"可表示为online;"下单"可表示为order;"记得"可表示为remember,remember to do sth.意为"记得去做某事",其中不定式作宾语;"核对"可表示为check;"信息"可表示为information。根据句意,主从句的主语一致,所以时间状语从句也可省略主语you,order和逻辑主语"你"之间是主谓关系,所以可用现在分词形式。故答案为:When you order/ordering online, remember to check the information.【点评】考查汉译英,本题涉及时间状语从句、非谓语动词和祈使句。九书面表达76.
