Ⅰ.完形填空
In December 2004，I had just become a professional photographer and was working on a project about the Chao－Ley tribe on a small island in southern Thailand.
One morning，I was due to __1__ with a group of six Chao－Ley fishermen in a small boat.The sea was totally __2__.
About 20 minutes after our departure，one of the fishermen pointed to a small white spot far in the distance.It was getting bigger and bigger very quickly.This was a tsunami wave __3__ through the ocean like a tornado.We were __4__.I began to feel really __5__.
At some point the captain took control.He told the six of us where to sit，so we would __6__ out the boat.My __7__ was in my backpack.I wanted to __8__ the scene，but I couldn’t.Any __9__ would imbalance the boat.
Suddenly there was a huge noise.The giant wave hit the boat，but in the split second of __10__，the incredibly skilled captain __11__ to swerve (使突然转向) us up and onto the wave.We __12__ it for a few seconds.Then the boat glided from the __13__ of the wave down into safe waters.
I’ve been going back to Southeast Asia almost every year since.The __14__ I wanted to take on the boat remains “the one that got away”—I think every photographer has one.But mine __15__ my life.

2.A.still B.vast C.rough D.different
解析　根据第二段中的“About 20 minutes after our departure”可知，作者一早就和渔民们出海了；由此可推断当时的天气应该是风平浪静的，否则他们就不会出发了。这里的“风平浪静”与下文的海啸天气遥相呼应。
√
√
3.A.roaring B.speeding C.exploding D.cycling
解析　根据“It was getting bigger and bigger very quickly”可知，远处的小白点快速变大，可推断出这里的海啸波移动速度很快。
4.A.stuck B.linked C.dragged D.pushed
解析　句意：我们被困住了。A.stuck卡住，陷入，动不了；B.linked把……连接起来；C.dragged拖拉；D.pushed推，挤。根据上文可知，海啸波移动速度很快，因此，这里指作者他们措手不及，陷入困境。be stuck“被困住”。

解析　结合常识和空后“imbalance the boat.”可知，船上人员的任何移动都会使船不平衡。
10.A.accident B.impact C.influence D.power
解析　根据上文的巨大噪音和巨浪打在小船上可知，此处指“撞击；冲撞；冲击力”。in the split second of impact表示“在撞击的瞬间”。
√
√
√
11.A.guaranteed B.struggled C.determined D.managed
解析　根据下文“Then the boat glided from the ________ of the wave down into safe waters.”可知，此处指船长成功转向，让小船漂在巨浪之上。

解析　根据“Then the boat glided from the ________ of the wave down into safe waters.”可推断出，作者乘坐的小船在海浪上漂浮了一段时间。

【语篇解读】　本文是记叙文。作者朋友们的来访打搅了作者一家的生活，于是他和妻子改变了来访规则，结果朋友们来的次数减少又导致了妻子的不高兴，她想要改变规则，但作者不同意，事情陷入僵局。
1.comfortably　[考查词性转换。修饰动词accommodate用副词comfortably作状语，意为“容易地；没问题”，故填comfortably。]
2.included　[考查非谓语动词。include 与逻辑主语us之间是动宾关系，用过去分词作定语，故填included。]
3.theirs　[考查代词。句中使用了双重所有格“限定词＋名词＋of＋名词所有格/名词性物主代词”，表示“……的……”，句中用名词性物主代词theirs作宾语，故填theirs。]
4.that　[考查名词性从句。句意：很明显，他们打算和我们住在一起，因为他们从车里拖来枕头。It是形式主语，空格处引导主语从句，从句句意完整，成分齐全，用连词that引导该从句，构成句型“it is obvious that...”。故填that。]
5.trying　[考查非谓语动词。set about doing sth“开始做某事”，介词about后接动名词作宾语，故填trying。]
6.the　[考查冠词。表示“……的人数”，用定冠词the，构成固定短语the number of...，故填the。]
7.at　[考查介词。at the end of“在……结尾”是固定短语，故填at。]
8.had happened　[考查时态。句意：三天的假期结束后，大家都走了。我和妻子就发生的事情以及我们该怎么办进行了长时间的讨论。根据句意，“发生”这一动作发生在“进行讨论”之前，表示“过去的过去”用过去完成时，故填had happened。]
9.to change　[考查非谓语动词。decide to do sth“决定做某事”，用不定式作宾语，故填to change。]
10.unhappy　[考查词性转换。句意：因此，我们的朋友拜访次数变少了，这让我妻子不高兴了。提示词作使役动词make后宾语my wife的补足语，用形容词，结合句意，应用其反义词unhappy，表示“不高兴的”，故填unhappy。]

【大题提能】
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I was going to die in Antarctica.I was certain.An image of my frost－covered body，pale and lifeless，filled my mind as I glanced around.In all directions the empty wilderness of Antarctica stretched away from me，the only feature on the landscape being the division between snow and sky.I gazed sadly at my team.They were rapidly disappearing over the horizon.
I was leading an expedition(探险队) attempting to reach the South Pole.The team was made up of ordinary women from all around the world—from Jamaica，India，Singapore and Cyprus—many of whom had never seen snow，or spent a night in a tent before we set off.Our aim was to be the most international all－female team to reach the South Pole.
As I watched，the rest of the team had marched on，unaware that I was not with them.By the time I realized that my sledge was firmly stuck，the team were already a long way ahead of me.I called out to Era，my teammate from Brunei.“Era! Stop！”
Getting no response，I called again，but my shouts were carried away in the opposite direction by the wind.Seconds passed.Nothing.I was gradually being left alone，completely defenseless against the fatally low temperatures of Antarctica.
My strength increased when I thought of a cold，lonely death.I pulled again my sledge，which moved a little.I removed the ice with my ski pole and boot，desperately trying to break the sledge free.The sledge shot forward，knocking me off balance.I struggled to my feet and set off after the team.
I caught up just as Reena，my teammate from India，looked behind her and noticed there was one person missing.She swung around on her skis in shock and spotted me in the near distance.
As we continued，my panic slowly faded.For the rest of the day each of the team was glancing over their shoulder every few minutes.They were not going to risk losing me again.
【语篇解读】　本文是记叙文。文章讲述了“我”带领一个国际女子探险队在南极探险，途中“我”的雪橇被雪卡住，以致掉队，后来“我”经过努力克服危机，赶上了队伍的故事。

C.The sudden change in wind direction.

√
3.At last，each of the team members kept looking back to ________.
A.avoid being attacked from behind
B.make sure that none fell behind
C.check the distance they had covered
D.keep a record of the route they took

What could driving a race car and pointing a camera at the Milky Way have in common More than you might imagine.Race car driver Bubba Wallace and photographer Batak Tefreshi made a journey together to remote Gooseberry Mesa，for an adventure aimed at taking pictures of the night sky.
Gooseberry Mesa，far from population centers，is protected from the nighttime light pollution，making it perfect for star photographers.Nature night environments such as this are rare.
Camping，hiking，and shooting stars in mountainous Mesa stress the similarity between photography and racing.Bubba notes，“Once you start the engine there’s no turning back—I know I’ll be in that seat for more than three hours.” Batak agrees，“I have the same feeling as soon as I touch the wheel of my camera—I’m ready to continue through the entire night.” For Bubba，developing patience allowed him to become a better driver and it is equally important to his photography.
Seizing the moment is crucial too.“Every minute things are changing—the Earth’s shadow，the moonlight，the rise of stars，” Batak explains.“If you lose the moment，it’s gone forever.” Bubba finds the physical and mental demands of racing as important when travelling in Utah’s rough landscapes under freezing temperatures.
Think incoming clouds，wind，or mist will ruin your chance at a perfect photo According to Batak，“With wide－angle nightscapes every unexpected weather condition can be an opportunity.Our photos show oranges and blues around the moon you wouldn’t see under a clear sky.”
The team discovered shared interests that go beyond photography.“We are both crazy about bringing cultures together and using our work to break down boundaries(边界)，” says Batak.“The night sky has a unifying power.The sky connects the whole world under one umbrella.”
【语篇解读】　本文是说明文。文章主要讲述赛车手布巴和摄影师巴塔克一起进行的一次旨在拍摄夜空的探险。
5.Why did Bubba and Batak choose Gooseberry Mesa
A.It has a small population.
B.It has perfect weather conditions.
C.It is free from light pollution.
D.It has beautiful scenery.
解析　细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，二人选择Gooseberry Mesa是因为那里没有光污染，适合星空摄影。
√
6.Which is required in both car racing and photography
A.Willpower. B.Teamwork.
C.Bravery. D.Creativity.
解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中Bubba说的“in that seat for more than three hours”和Batak说的“continue through the entire night”可知，赛车和摄影都需要毅力。
√
7.What does Batak think of unexpected weather as a photographer
A.Annoying. B.Disastrous.
C.Positive. D.Challenging.
解析　观点态度题。根据第五段中的“With wide－angle nightscapes every unexpected weather condition can be an opportunity.”可知，Batak认为每种意想不到的天气对他的摄影来说都是一个机会，所以他对意外的天气持积极乐观的态度。
√
8.Which may be a message behind the team’s photography work
A.Appreciating the night sky.
B.Connecting various cultures.
C.Removing racial boundaries.
D.Protecting the environment.
解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，Batak他们都热衷于将文化融合在一起，并利用他们的作品打破边界，在他看来，夜空能连接整个世界。所以“连接不同的文化”可能是他们的摄影作品表达的信息。
√
Ⅱ.七选五
Have you ever thought about what sand means to our lives？__1__，but we are always ignoring its contributions to our lives.However，as British geologist Michael Welland once explained in his book on sand，“Without it，our world would be dramatically different.”
Dutch designers Nadine Sterk and Lonny van Ryswyck were deeply inspired by Welland’s book on sand.They hoped that people would never forget the close relationships with the primary materials of our lives.In 2010，Nadine and Lonny started their project called “To See a World in a Grain of Sand”.They collected sand from beaches，rivers and mountains around the world.They fired the sand at high temperatures.__2__.These colors came from movement，erosion and transformation of thousands of years.Nadine and Lonny then made the melted sand into glass.The glass’s design referenced Dutch glass and paintings of the 17th century.__3__，because they wanted people to understand the world by understanding the journey of sand.
Last year，Nadine and Lonny’s works were displayed for the first time during Dutch Design Week and won the Dutch Design Awards.__4__，because their designs not only challenged the traditions of today’s glass manufacturing industry，but also called on people to identify more deeply with the places where they lived.
__5__，you can join them.Firstly，you collect a bottle of sand from your favorite place and take a photo of that place.Then，you complete the form for your sand sample and share your own story on Nadine and Lonny’s website.After that，you should send the sand sample，the photo and the address to Nadine and Lonny.Finally，you just need to wait for your own glass!
A.In the process，unique colors were shown
B.The judges thought highly of their designs
C.It was able to repair itself on a regular basis
D.This natural material seems to be everywhere
E.If you are interested in Nadine and Lonny’s project
F.They also stamped the origin of the sand on the glass
G.These designs were displayed and voted both online and offline
【语篇解读】　本文是记叙文。文章主要叙述了荷兰设计师Nadine 和Lonny深受韦兰的关于沙子的书的启发，开启了名为“一粒沙里看世界”的项目。他们希望人们永远不要忘记与我们生活的主要材料之间的密切关系。
1.D　[D项This natural material指代上文sand，D项“这种天然物质似乎无处不在”与下文“我们总是忽视它对我们生活的贡献”构成对比关系，由but连接。]
2.A　[他们在高温下烧制沙子的过程中，沙子会呈现出独特的颜色。而且A项unique colors与下一句话中的These colors 互指。]
3.F　[他们还在玻璃上印上了沙子的来源，因为他们希望人们通过了解沙子的旅程来了解世界。F项中the glass与上文原词复现。]
4.B　[上文讲到 Nadine和Lonny的作品首次在荷兰设计周上展出并获得了荷兰设计奖，B项“评委们对他们的设计评价很高”，承接上文，B项中designs与上文原词复现。]
5.E　[E项“如果你对他们的项目感兴趣”与下文“你可以加入他们”构成条件关系。]

【语篇解读】　本文是记叙文。本文讲述Rene Compean在洛杉矶国家森林公园迷路后得到好心人的帮助，最后得救的故事。
1.A.attractive B.new C.smooth D.natural
解析　根据上文“Rene Compean was no stranger to Angeles National Forest.”可知，Rene Compean对洛杉矶国家森林公园并不陌生，但是他还是迷路了，可以推测他是挑战了新的线路。
2.A.shock B.confusion C.fear D.excitement

√
√
3.A.signal B.chocolate C.light D.iron
解析　根据下文中“he texted the police”可推测，他是爬到了一处有信号的地点，此处“one bar of”是指“一格”，常用于指手机信号。
4.A.function B.rest C.break D.die
解析　die死机，电量耗尽。前文提到信号只有一格，而且徒步了一天，手机很有可能是快没电了，下一段的“All Compean could do then was wait”也印证了这一点。
√
√
5.A.text B.video C.shot D.record
解析　根据上文“attaching a photo showing where he was”中的photo可知，此处也表示“照片”，shot作名词时有该意义。

解析　go about着手做；talk about谈论；leave for去往；look for寻找。根据后文“he pulled up a satellite map”可知，Kuo喜欢寻找照片的拍摄地。
10.A.image B.injury C.cut D.number
解析　根据前文可知，Compean趁着手机还有信号给警察发了一张图片，图片上显示他的腿被石头和植物包围，所以Kuo看到的是他的腿的图片。上文的photo和shot与image是同义词复现。
√
√
11.A.changed B.counted C.narrowed D.added
解析　根据下文“after knowing Compean’s car was parked near Buckhorn Campground”可知，Kuo在这之后把搜索范围缩小到附近区域。
12.A.realized B.admitted C.recalled D.imagined

UNIT 4　ADVERSITY AND COURAGE
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Many of us have heard of Alex Honnold，who made history in 2018 when he became the first man to climb EI Capitan without ropes or safety equipment.But his mother，Dierdre Wolownick，just became the oldest woman to conquer the famous peak：she reached the top on September 23—the morning of her 70th birthday.
Dierdre，the writer and language teacher，decided to take up climbing as a means to connect more with her son.In 2008，accompanied by her son Alex，she visited a climbing gym and completed 12 routes that first day with his help，but it was months before she worked up the courage to return and practice on her own.
Dierdre became committed to the sport，and began to meet friends and sharpen her skills.She scaled(登上) parts of Half Dome and Cathedral Peak at a time when many people at her age are thinking about retirement and slowing down.The writer would go on to publish a book about her climbing experiences with Alex called The Sharp End of Life：A Mother’s Story.
“As a mother，I am impressed by this role exchange process.Parents and children often wind up changing roles in life as they get older，” she writes in her book.“But never，I thought，is that transformation as obvious as when they climb together.”
On September 23，Dierdre and her friends set out in the dark，at 6 am.The route is steep (陡峭的) enough to require all－fours，grabbing rocks and trees and whatever else will hold the weight.Yet despite all difficulties the team made it to the top.“It was really inspiring to watch her and then to have her on top with all of us，” said one of Dierdre’s friends.“There was a special look on everyone’s face.We knew where we were.We knew how amazing the moment truly was.”
【语篇解读】　本文是记叙文。文章讲述了世界级攀岩者亚历克斯·霍诺尔德的母亲迪尔德丽·沃罗尼克。

√
2.Which of the following best describes Dierdre

Over a hundred years after it sank near Antarctica，the ship of polar explorer Ernest Shackleton has been found using underwater robots.
In 1914，Ernest Shackleton and his 27 members left England in a wooden sailing ship called the Endurance.Shackleton hoped to become the first to cross Antarctica.But in 1915，the Endurance became trapped in the thick ice over the Weddell Sea.The ice broke the Endurance and later sank it.Then the ship’s captain kept accurate records of the ship’s position，and the ship’s photographer even took pictures of it as it went down.But the ship，deep in the icy waters near Antarctica，had never been found.
On Wednesday，a search team called “Endurance 22” announced it had located the ship.The Endurance was found 3 kilometers below the ocean’s surface，about 6 kilometers south of its last known position.According to the “Endurance 22” team’s report，the name can be clearly read on the back of the ship，and its wheel looks ready to be turned.
Though the ship is made of wood，it has survived with little damage.Scientists say that the small organisms(微生物) that normally break down wooden objects underwater don’t live in the cold waters around Antarctica.
The team ran the project from an ice－breaking ship.To locate the Endurance，the team used two underwater robots called Sabertooths.The robots could travel by themselves under the ice and go where the ship could not.For the last two weeks，the robots have been searching the sea floor in a 390－square kilometer area.
The robots were looking for anything above the sea floor.Last Saturday，the ship was found.Once the ship was located，the Sabertooths used high－quality cameras to record the Endurance in detail.Antarctica’s waters are protected by an international agreement，which means the ship can’t be disturbed.So the “Endurance 22” team plans to create a digital 3D model of the wreck(失事) site.This will allow scientists to study the ship in detail without disturbing it.
【语篇解读】　本文是新闻报道，在科技的帮助下，极地探险家欧内斯特·沙克尔顿的船在沉没100多年后被发现。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
My favourite book is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St.Petersburg，Missouri.He’s a lively and clever young boy，and he finds himself in many exciting adventures.He runs away with his two friends，Huck Finn and Joe，to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days.With Huck he goes looking for treasure，with Becky he gets lost in a cave.And finally，they find a box of gold.
My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead.He decides to go to his own funeral(葬礼).He hides and watches for a time and then suddenly he appears.Everyone is surprised to see him but they’re also pleased to see him alive.
Tom is the hero of the story，but there are other important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him.Becky is pretty with fair hair. Joe is Tom’s best friend.And Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.
The theme of the story is about children growing up.It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America.Finally，it talks about freedom，social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviour.
Why do I think The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a great book？Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876，but it’s still read and loved by people all over the world today.And although it’s only a story，Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century，so it sounds very real.Today it is thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature.Go on—read it！I know you’ll enjoy it，too.

We set off on our journey up Mount Wutai onto its peak to appreciate the mysterious and beautiful Bodhisattva Lights，ball－shaped lights floating in the whole sky with radiant beams.Seen from the foot of the mountain，the sky was gray and cloudy.__1__ It sometimes appeared in white mist，and sometimes was completely covered by clouds.
On the mountainside，our clothing grew wet.__2__ It slowed the horses down to a heavy pace.We spent the night at a small temple.The next morning we continued our climb in the rain.The road was more slippery than the day before，so we had no choice but to get down from our horses and walked on foot.
On the way，we were told the unusual phenomenon wouldn’t be observed in the rain.We sighed with disappointment.__3__ And the sun set in the west，the clouds disappeared and the mist faded.
Eventually，we arrived at the peak，with the sky filled with stars.Late in the night，we got awake by a shout.“Get up.Hurry up to see the Lights！” We moved quickly，threw on a few pieces of clothing and ran out.It was cold，making our bodies shake from head to foot.__4__ Just before our eyes，the mysterious phenomenon appeared.
Thousands of ball－shaped objects floated slowly in the distance，shining golden beams of light，as though the whole sky were filled with countless glowing lanterns.The balls moved across the sky at the same speed.__5__ They were light and delicate.Meanwhile，we all just froze there，speechless with wonder，appreciating the incredible views.
A.It seemed to rain soon.
B.We had to stop for a shelter.
C.Unexpectedly，the sky began to clear.
D.In the distance stood the peak，unclear.
E.The road was slippery and difficult to walk.
F.However，our hearts were filled with excitement.

【语篇解读】　本文是记叙文，主要讲的是作者登上五台山山顶的旅程。
1.D　[空后说“它有时出现在白雾中，有时完全被云覆盖”，这描述的是远处的一个东西，不太看得清楚，D选项“远处耸立着山峰，模糊不清”说明了山峰看不清楚，和后文的“有时出现在白雾中，有时完全被云覆盖”相一致，因此引起下文，符合语境。]
2.E　[空前说“在山坡上，我们的衣服都湿了”说明可能下雨了，路上会滑，空后说“它使马放慢了脚步”，说明了路上湿滑，E选项“路很滑，很难走”说明了路滑，因此承上启下，符合语境，后文“路比前一天更滑”也是提示。]
3.C　[空前说“在路上，我们被告知在雨中不会观察到这种不寻常的现象。我们失望地叹了口气”，空后说“太阳从西边落下，云不见了，雾也散了。”,这说明天放晴了，C选项“没想到，天空开始放晴了”说明了天空放晴了,和后文“太阳从西边落下，云不见了，雾也散了”一致，符合语境。]
4.F　[空前说“我们迅速行动，匆匆穿上几件衣服就跑了出去。天气很冷，我们的身体从头到脚都在发抖”说明天冷，空后说“就在我们眼前，神秘的现象出现了”，说明这种神秘的现象会让作者兴奋，F选项“然而，我们的心中充满了兴奋”说明了作者他们看到这种神秘现象的激动心情，其中的However表转折，对比前面的冷和后面的兴奋，因此承上启下，符合语境。]
5.G　[空前说“成千上万的球状物体在远处慢慢漂浮，闪烁着金色的光束，仿佛整个天空都布满了无数发光的灯笼。这些球状物体以同样的速度划过天空”，空后说“它们又轻又精致”，这两句都是在描写这些球状物体，空格处也应该描写它们，G选项“它们就像金鱼在水里平静地游着”也是对这些球状物体的描述，因此承上启下，符合语境。]

3.A.humorous B.imaginary C.comic D.sad

√
√
