My friend and I have arrived in Katherine，a town in Australia’s Northern Territory.[3]We’re here to learn about the life and customs of the Aborigines，who are native to13 Australia.The Aboriginal population might be small，but its influence is still visible.[4]For example，“Bondi” in “Bondi Beach” is an Aboriginal word meaning “water breaking over rocks”.
[3]句中who引导的是非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the Aborigines。
[4]句中meaning “water breaking over rocks”是现在分词短语作后置定语。

[5]To survive in this vast land on the ocean，the Aborigines had to be in close contact with14 nature.[6]This shows in their music，too，which celebrates the natural world and the spiritual world around them. [7]Most of their musical instruments are really just sticks found on the ground，among which there is an amazing instrument called the didgeridoo.
[5]句中To survive in this vast land on the ocean是不定式短语作目的状语。
[6]句中which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词music。
[7]句中found on the ground是过去分词短语作后置定语；among which...是“介词＋which”引导的非限制性定语从句。

The didgeridoo is made from a tree branch which is hollow.[8]To play the didgeridoo，you put your mouth on one end and blow while vibrating your lips. Unlike a horn，there are no finger holes.The didgeridoo player has to change the shape of his mouth in order to change pitch.A skilled player can play for a long time without stopping to breathe.
[8]句中while vibrating your lips是时间状语从句的省略结构。
He does this by continually breathing in15 through his nose while breathing out16 through his mouth and into the didgeridoo.[9]I tried to learn how to play it，but after trying for hours，I was convinced that I could never make a musical sound with this instrument!
[9]此句是but连接的并列复合句。how to play it是“疑问词＋不定式”作宾语；that引导的是宾语从句。

[11]句中although引导让步状语从句；with...contributed by immigrants是with复合结构，即“with＋宾语＋宾语补足语”。

What makes us happy
A
Texan 81-year-old good friends Ellie Hamby and Sandy Hazelip toured the world in 80 days，proving that adventure doesn’t have an age limit.
语篇解读　这是一篇记叙文。81岁的得克萨斯好朋友艾莉·汉比和桑迪·哈泽利普用80天环游世界，证明了冒险没有年龄限制。
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
Their first stop was a location that challenges even many experienced travelers：the Antarctic.Getting to the southernmost continent first required crossing the Drake Passage.“For almost two days，we were rocking and rolling，slipping and sliding through the Drake Passage and we were holding onto dear life，” Hamby said.The voyage，however，faded from their mind as they set foot on the ground of the Antarctic，fascinated by the breathtaking beauty of penguins，icebergs and glaciers.
Since that first venture，the pair have visited 18 countries across all seven continents.They rode camels in Egypt，met elephants in Bali，danced in Nepal and observed the Northern Lights in Finland.And despite the challenges international travel presented，the good friends said they finished their trip without any argument.Though they’re both independent and stubborn，they respected each other’s feelings.And what they remember the most are the people that they encountered.“We got to know some of the most wonderful，kindest，friendliest people.We just have friends now all over the world that we love dearly，” Hamby said.
The two shared a crucial piece of advice for travelers worrying about the language barrier on their own adventure.“You know，people often ask us about it，” said Hamby.“We tell them there’s one universal language，and that’s the smile.We found it worked wonders because we were often aware that English was not always spoken and that that could cover all languages.”
They also encouraged other older people not to let age hold them back.Aside from some minor changes in plans—like deciding not to ride a motorbike in Bali because of concerns about falling—their age didn’t affect their journey abroad.They said they felt confident that if they were injured during their trip，their children would have been at peace knowing that they were doing what they wanted.And Hazelip described 81 as the perfect age to embark on a trip.“Getting older does give us a little bit of wisdom of making decisions，” she said.
1.What might the pair think of their trip to the Antarctic
A.Challenging but worthwhile.
B.Expensive but exciting.
C.Interesting but fruitless.
D.Unpleasant but impressive.
√
推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句可知，两人在德雷克海峡航行时非常不顺利，然而，当她们踏上南极的土地，被企鹅、冰山和冰川的惊人美景所吸引时，这次航行就从她们的脑海中淡去了。由此可知，这对伙伴可能会认为她们的南极之旅虽富有挑战性但非常值得。故选A。
解析
2.What is the highlight of the pair’s adventures for themselves
A.Learning about different cultures.
B.Meeting nice people along the way.
C.Experiencing many challenging activities.
D.Avoiding conflicts despite their stubborn nature.
√
细节理解题。根据第三段中“And what they remember the most are the people that they encountered.‘We got to know some of the most wonderful，kindest，friendliest people...’Hamby said.(她们记得最清楚的是她们遇到的人。‘我们认识了一些最优秀、最善良、最友好的人……’汉比说)”可知，对她们自己来说，这对伙伴的冒险之旅的亮点是一路上遇到了很好的人们。故选B。
解析
3.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 4 refer to
A.English. B.The pair’s advice.
C.The smile. D.The language barrier.
√
代词指代题。根据画线词上文“We tell them there’s one universal language，and that’s the smile.”可知，她们告诉担心语言障碍的旅行者，微笑是国际语言，所以此处是指微笑可以涵盖一切语言，that指代“微笑”。故选C。
解析
4.What can we infer about the pair from the last paragraph
A.They once fell off a motorbike in Bali.
B.Their family understood and supported them.
C.They regretted not exploring the world earlier.
D.Their wisdom saved them lots of time on the trip.
√
推理判断题。根据最后一段第三句“They said they felt confident that if they were injured during their trip，their children would have been at peace knowing that they were doing what they wanted.(她们说，她们很有信心，如果她们在旅行中受伤，她们的孩子会很平静，知道她们在做自己想做的事)”可知，这对伙伴得到了家人的理解和支持。故选B。
解析
B(此篇精读)
Architects are creating new kinds of buildings to deal with global warming.We sleep in bed at home.We go to school to study，and many of us go to an office for work.Needless to say，buildings are an important part of our lives.Yet，buildings are also a major part when it comes to global warming.According to the World Economic Forum①，buildings and their construction make up 40 percent of global energy use and 33 percent of greenhouse gas emissions.
语篇解读　本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了建筑物对全球变暖的影响以及如何通过改变建筑方式来应对全球变暖。
There are ways of reducing the carbon footprint when it comes to building constructions.For example，using recycled and non-traditional，low-carbon building materials can take out some of the contributors② to global warming.However，to fully fight global warming，whole new approaches to architecture must be adopted.Building engineers and architects normally take a range of temperatures into consideration，such as bridge being able to “stretch” during hotter days.However，they cannot account for a world that is always hotter and wetter，which will destroy existing designs.
At the same time，global warming brings unique challenges to buildings，according to the news website The Conversation.Higher average temperatures mean wood-eating termites(白蚁) and malaria-carrying mosquitoes can appear in more areas，leading to unstable buildings and unsafe living environments.Reinforced concrete(钢筋混凝土) is more likely to rust(生锈) in wetter environments.This also leads to more buildings at risk of falling down.
Thankfully，there are ways of addressing③ the challenges brought by global warming.For instance，Trombe Walls—structures made of concrete，stone or other heavy materials—can be used to absorb solar heat during the day and release the heat at night when it’s colder.As global temperatures increase and storms become stronger and more frequent，roofs can be built with a direct connection to the building’s base to better resist strong winds，according to the United Nations Environment Programme.Another solution is to make roofs with multiple slopes or a central shaft(井) that reduces wind force and pressure by taking in air from the outside.
By changing our approaches to architecture，we can live in new kinds of buildings and can be more prepared for a warmer world.
5.What can we learn from paragraph 1
A.Buildings can not stand climate change.
B.Buildings make no difference to energy use.
C.Buildings matter but cause environmental problems.
D.Buildings contribute to half of greenhouse gas emissions.
√
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Needless to say，buildings are an important part of our lives.Yet，buildings are also a major part when it comes to global warming.”可知，建筑物很重要，但会造成环境问题。故选C。
解析
6.What challenge to buildings is brought by global warming
A.The risk of being burnt to the ground.
B.The instability of building structures.
C.The destruction in wetter and colder days.
D.The appearance of malaria-carrying termites.
√
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Higher average temperatures mean...at risk of falling down.”可知，更高的平均温度意味着食木白蚁和携带疟疾的蚊子可能出现在更多地区，导致建筑物不稳定和生活环境不安全。钢筋混凝土在潮湿的环境中更容易生锈。这也导致更多的建筑物有倒塌的危险。所以，全球变暖给建筑带来的挑战是建筑物结构的不稳定。故选B。
解析
7.What is an approach to dealing with the challenges to buildings
A.Roofs with a single slope.
B.Structures with lower height.
C.Roofs directly joined to the soil.
D.Structures made of heavy materials.
√
细节理解题。根据第四段中“For instance，Trombe Walls—structures made of concrete，stone or other heavy materials—can be used to absorb solar heat during the day and release the heat at night when it’s colder.”可知，通过使用重型材料制成的结构可以应对全球变暖带来的挑战。故选D。
解析
8.What is the author’s purpose in writing this text
A.To introduce new kinds of buildings.
B.To prove the major role of buildings.
C.To present various causes of global warming.
D.To explain the challenges from global warming.
√
写作意图题。根据最后一段可知，通过改变我们的建筑方式，我们可以生活在新型建筑中，并为更温暖的世界做好准备。所以，这篇文章主要介绍可以应对全球变暖的新型建筑。故选A。

I’m here in Sydney！Since I arrived，my friend has brought me to my first open-air barbecue and has also shared many different but yummy meals with10 me，so my first impressions of Australia have been all about food！A lot of typical Australian food，such as the Sunday roast，is originally British.Bakeries，fast-food joints，butcher shops，cafes，and restaurants everywhere provide some of the premier food experiences11 in the world.The influence of Asian cultures，on the other hand12，led to the introduction of bean curd and Asian herbs，along with Australian versions of foods like the Chinese-inspired dim sim.

My friend and I have arrived in Katherine，a town in Australia’s Northern Territory.[3]We’re here to learn about the life and customs of the Aborigines，who are native to13 Australia.The Aboriginal population might be small，but its influence is still visible.[4]For example，“Bondi” in “Bondi Beach” is an Aboriginal word meaning “water breaking over rocks”．
[5]To survive in this vast land on the ocean，the Aborigines had to be in close contact with14 nature.[6]This shows in their music，too，which celebrates the natural world and the spiritual world around them. [7]Most of their musical instruments are really just sticks found on the ground，among which there is an amazing instrument called the didgeridoo.
The didgeridoo is made from a tree branch which is hollow.[8]To play the didgeridoo，you put your mouth on one end and blow while vibrating your lips. Unlike a horn，there are no finger holes.The didgeridoo player has to change the shape of his mouth in order to change pitch.A skilled player can play for a long time without stopping to breathe.He does this by continually breathing in15 through his nose while breathing out16 through his mouth and into the didgeridoo.[9]I tried to learn how to play it，but after trying for hours，I was convinced that I could never make a musical sound with this instrument!
[3]句中who引导的是非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the Aborigines。
[4]句中meaning “water breaking over rocks”是现在分词短语作后置定语。
[5]句中To survive in this vast land on the ocean是不定式短语作目的状语。
[6]句中which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词music。
[7]句中found on the ground是过去分词短语作后置定语；among which...是“介词＋which”引导的非限制性定语从句。
[8]句中while vibrating your lips是时间状语从句的省略结构。
[9]此句是but连接的并列复合句。how to play it是“疑问词＋不定式”作宾语；that引导的是宾语从句。
13.原产于……；源于……的
14．跟……有密切联系，和……密切接触
15．吸入

It’s almost time for me to say goodbye to17 Australia.I’ve enjoyed my time here very much.[10]After being here for a while，my biggest impression is the complicated mix of peoples and cultures that make up the nation.
[11]Although the main cultural influence since 1788 has been Western culture，minority cultures have also played a part in18 shaping the unique Australian culture，with many of the new cultural influences contributed by immigrants. [12]It is said that now nearly half of all Australian citizens were either born overseas or have parents who were born overseas.
[10]句中that make up the nation是that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词peoples and cultures。
[11]句中although引导让步状语从句；with...contributed by immigrants是with复合结构，即“with＋宾语＋宾语补足语”。
[12]句中It is said that...是“It is＋过去分词＋that从句”句型；who引导定语从句。
17.与……告别
18．在……中起作用，扮演角色
[13]Personally speaking19，what I like most about Australia is the people themselves. They have a straightforward and free-and-easy attitude towards life，and their friendliness and warmth made me feel at home20 wherever I went.
After experiencing Australia，I have to say that I agree with the tourism slogan：“There’s nothing like Australia.”
[13]句中what I like most about Australia是what引导的主语从句。

A
Texan 81-year-old good friends Ellie Hamby and Sandy Hazelip toured the world in 80 days，proving that adventure doesn’t have an age limit.
Their first stop was a location that challenges even many experienced travelers：the Antarctic.Getting to the southernmost continent first required crossing the Drake Passage.“For almost two days，we were rocking and rolling，slipping and sliding through the Drake Passage and we were holding onto dear life，” Hamby said.The voyage，however，faded from their mind as they set foot on the ground of the Antarctic，fascinated by the breathtaking beauty of penguins，icebergs and glaciers.
Since that first venture，the pair have visited 18 countries across all seven continents.They rode camels in Egypt，met elephants in Bali，danced in Nepal and observed the Northern Lights in Finland.And despite the challenges international travel presented，the good friends said they finished their trip without any argument.Though they’re both independent and stubborn，they respected each other’s feelings.And what they remember the most are the people that they encountered.“We got to know some of the most wonderful，kindest，friendliest people.We just have friends now all over the world that we love dearly，” Hamby said.
The two shared a crucial piece of advice for travelers worrying about the language barrier on their own adventure.“You know，people often ask us about it，” said Hamby.“We tell them there’s one universal language，and that’s the smile.We found it worked wonders because we were often aware that English was not always spoken and that that could cover all languages.”
They also encouraged other older people not to let age hold them back.Aside from some minor changes in plans—like deciding not to ride a motorbike in Bali because of concerns about falling—their age didn’t affect their journey abroad.They said they felt confident that if they were injured during their trip，their children would have been at peace knowing that they were doing what they wanted.And Hazelip described 81 as the perfect age to embark on a trip.“Getting older does give us a little bit of wisdom of making decisions，” she said.
语篇解读　这是一篇记叙文。81岁的得克萨斯好朋友艾莉·汉比和桑迪·哈泽利普用80天环游世界，证明了冒险没有年龄限制。

A．Learning about different cultures.
B．Meeting nice people along the way.

3．What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 4 refer to
A．English. B．The pair’s advice.
C．The smile. D．The language barrier.
答案　C
解析　代词指代题。根据画线词上文“We tell them there’s one universal language，and that’s the smile.”可知，她们告诉担心语言障碍的旅行者，微笑是国际语言，所以此处是指微笑可以涵盖一切语言，that指代“微笑”。故选C。
4．What can we infer about the pair from the last paragraph
A．They once fell off a motorbike in Bali.
B．Their family understood and supported them.
C．They regretted not exploring the world earlier.

B(此篇精读)
Architects are creating new kinds of buildings to deal with global warming.We sleep in bed at home.We go to school to study，and many of us go to an office for work.Needless to say，buildings are an important part of our lives.Yet，buildings are also a major part when it comes to global warming.According to the World Economic Forum①，buildings and their construction make up 40 percent of global energy use and 33 percent of greenhouse gas emissions.
There are ways of reducing the carbon footprint when it comes to building constructions.For example，using recycled and non-traditional，low-carbon building materials can take out some of the contributors② to global warming.However，to fully fight global warming，whole new approaches to architecture must be adopted.Building engineers and architects normally take a range of temperatures into consideration，such as bridge being able to “stretch” during hotter days.However，they cannot account for a world that is always hotter and wetter，which will destroy existing designs.
At the same time，global warming brings unique challenges to buildings，according to the news website The Conversation.Higher average temperatures mean wood-eating termites(白蚁) and malaria-carrying mosquitoes can appear in more areas，leading to unstable buildings and unsafe living environments.Reinforced concrete(钢筋混凝土) is more likely to rust(生锈) in wetter environments.This also leads to more buildings at risk of falling down.
Thankfully，there are ways of addressing③ the challenges brought by global warming.For instance，Trombe Walls—structures made of concrete，stone or other heavy materials—can be used to absorb solar heat during the day and release the heat at night when it’s colder.As global temperatures increase and storms become stronger and more frequent，roofs can be built with a direct connection to the building’s base to better resist strong winds，according to the United Nations Environment Programme.Another solution is to make roofs with multiple slopes or a central shaft(井) that reduces wind force and pressure by taking in air from the outside.
By changing our approaches to architecture，we can live in new kinds of buildings and can be more prepared for a warmer world.
语篇解读　本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了建筑物对全球变暖的影响以及如何通过改变建筑方式来应对全球变暖。
5．What can we learn from paragraph 1
A．Buildings can not stand climate change.
B．Buildings make no difference to energy use.
C．Buildings matter but cause environmental problems.
D．Buildings contribute to half of greenhouse gas emissions.
答案　C
解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中“Needless to say，buildings are an important part of our lives.Yet，buildings are also a major part when it comes to global warming.”可知，建筑物很重要，但会造成环境问题。故选C。
6．What challenge to buildings is brought by global warming
A．The risk of being burnt to the ground.
B．The instability of building structures.
C．The destruction in wetter and colder days.
D．The appearance of malaria-carrying termites.
答案　B
解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中“Higher average temperatures mean...at risk of falling down.”可知，更高的平均温度意味着食木白蚁和携带疟疾的蚊子可能出现在更多地区，导致建筑物不稳定和生活环境不安全。钢筋混凝土在潮湿的环境中更容易生锈。这也导致更多的建筑物有倒塌的危险。所以，全球变暖给建筑带来的挑战是建筑物结构的不稳定。故选B。
7．What is an approach to dealing with the challenges to buildings
A．Roofs with a single slope.
B．Structures with lower height.
C．Roofs directly joined to the soil.
D．Structures made of heavy materials.
答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据第四段中“For instance，Trombe Walls—structures made of concrete，stone or other heavy materials—can be used to absorb solar heat during the day and release the heat at night when it’s colder.”可知，通过使用重型材料制成的结构可以应对全球变暖带来的挑战。故选D。
8．What is the author’s purpose in writing this text
A．To introduce new kinds of buildings.
B．To prove the major role of buildings.
C．To present various causes of global warming.
D．To explain the challenges from global warming.
答案　A
解析　写作意图题。根据最后一段可知，通过改变我们的建筑方式，我们可以生活在新型建筑中，并为更温暖的世界做好准备。所以，这篇文章主要介绍可以应对全球变暖的新型建筑。故选A。
[语境猜词]
①forum n．论坛
②contributor n．促成因素
③address v．处理，解决
[句式分析]
For instance，Trombe Walls—structures made of concrete，stone or other heavy materials—can be used to absorb solar heat during the day and release the heat at night when it’s colder.
分析：此句为复合句。两个破折号之间的内容为对Trombe Walls的解释说明；made of...为过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰名词structures；when引导时间状语从句。
翻译：例如，特朗勃墙——由混凝土、石头或其他重型材料构成的结构——可以在白天吸收太阳热量，并在夜晚更寒冷的时候释放热量。
