第二部分　阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Natural Disasters
Big waves,massive eruptions and icy winds—these are just a few things that happen naturally and can quickly turn into disasters!Understanding disasters can help us stay safe and prepared.
Let’s learn about some common natural disasters!
Volcanic Eruptions
Think about a mountain with an opening at the top through which hot lava(岩浆),gases and ash burst.That’s a volcanic eruption!People living close to volcanoes must always be prepared in case of an eruption.In this way can they get away from flowing hot lava.Interestingly,volcanic eruptions can gradually form new land when they happen under the sea.
Tsunamis
Have you ever seen huge waves Imagine waves reaching dozens of metres high—that is how big tsunami waves can be!These waves are caused by underwater earthquakes.The waves are so fast and strong that they can sweep away people and buildings.
Blizzards
A blizzard is a snowstorm that includes low temperatures,strong winds and heavy snowfall.These dangerous conditions often lead to car accidents and can cause pedestrians to get lost.Additionally,the extreme cold also puts people at risk of frostbite (冻伤) or hypothermia (体温过低).
Droughts
When it does not rain for a very long time,it can cause a drought.In some areas,the soil becomes very dry and even the plants struggle to survive without water.This is awful because all living things—from crops to wildlife and humans—depend on water for survival.
There are many natural disasters on Earth and learning about them means we can be prepared when they occur.
【语篇导读】 本文是应用文。文章主要介绍了四种常见的自然灾害。
(　　)21.What is a volcanic eruption
[A]A mountain covered in deep snow.
[B]A burst of lava from a mountain.
[C]An earthquake happening under the sea.
[D]A land newly formed by hot lava.
(　　)22.What can we learn about blizzards
[A]They sweep away people and buildings.
[B]They cause damaging droughts.
[C]They make it hard for people to go around.
[D]They involve dramatically big waves.
(　　)23.What is the purpose of the text
[A]To introduce. [B]To comment.
[C]To debate. [D]To record.

The China International Search and Rescue Team (CISAR) was set up in 2001 and is now made up of several hundred rescue workers and about 20 police dogs.The team brings help and hope to those whose lives are changed by a storm,flood,earthquake,or any other natural disasters.
After long and careful training,the team went on its first international rescue tasks in 2003.That year,the Chinese team helped save lives after earthquakes in Algeria (阿尔及利亚) and Iran.It was the first time that a Chinese team had worked outside China whose members won high praise for bravery and skill.
Since then,the CISAR has completed many tasks.The list of people to whom help has been given is long.The team treated more than 3,000 people who were wounded in the 2006 earthquake in Indonesia,helped 2,500 wounded people after the earthquake that hit Haiti (海地) in 2010,and spent several months giving aid to over 25,000 people suffering from the 2010 floods in Pakistan.On 26 April 2015,a group of 62 people from CISAR went to Nepal after the 8.1-magnitude earthquake that happened there.
Rescue workers are trained to find people,treat wounds,and hand out food,water,and other supplies.They have to be able to do difficult work under very dangerous conditions.After a disaster,there is usually no electricity or water,and there may be diseases and other dangers.Rescue workers get to save lives,but they must also bury the dead.That means they have to be strong in both body and mind.
Rescue workers must have big hearts,too.It takes a lot of love and courage to risk one’s own life to save someone else’s.The members of the CISAR have plenty of both and are always ready to go wherever help is needed.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了中国国际救援队的组成、参与的救援任务以及队员必须具备的素质。
(　　)24.What is the function of the numbers in Paragraph 3
[A]To advertise for the CISAR.
[B]To add some basic information.
[C]To praise rescue workers’ contributions.
[D]To stress the dangers rescue workers face.
(　　)25.What is the author’s attitude towards rescue workers
[A]Hopeful. [B]Respectful.
[C]Curious. [D]Indifferent.
(　　)26.What are the last two paragraphs mainly about
[A]The duties rescue workers must perform.
[B]The qualities rescue workers must possess.
[C]The difficulties rescue workers must go through.
[D]The willingness rescue workers should require.
(　　)27.What may be the best title for the passage
[A]China to the Rescue

As an important part of our daily lives,music is increasingly being used in medical treatment.Music has proven very useful in cancer treatment,pain management and even post-stroke recovery.Researchers have been making great progress in using music to help patients with dementia (痴呆).It reduces patients’ anxiety and pain,lifts their spirits,and improves their cognitive (认知的) function in daily activities.
So why does music have such a powerful effect on people with dementia Several years ago,researchers discovered that when people listened to music,many areas of the brain took part in processing it.Research has also shown music might help the brain and its connections grow strong again.It is believed that music could help people with dementia by fixing or strengthening impaired neural (神经的) connections and cells.
It’s not just any music that has a great effect on the brain,though.Familiar and favourite music has been shown to have the biggest influence on the way we feel,and it is closely connected with memory and emotions.This is because listening to our favourite songs helps to produce feel-good hormones (荷尔蒙) that give us a sense of pleasure.After listening to favourite music,people with dementia experienced less pain and anxiety,and their general feelings improved.
Other researchers have even begun testing the effects of music training programmes to improve cognitive function for people with dementia.Results have been promising so far,with adults in the study showing improved condition,compared to those who took part in just physical exercise.
So,music is likely to continue to be a useful medical treatment for people with dementia.But based on current evidence,it’s important that the music comes from the patient’s own music collection and is used together with other medical treatments like medication.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了研究发现音乐可以减轻痴呆患者的焦虑和痛苦,改善他们的情绪和认知功能。
(　　)28.How does the author introduce the topic of the passage
[A]By giving predictions.
[B]By raising questions.
[C]By explaining reasons.
[D]By presenting facts.
(　　)29.What may favourite music contribute to people with dementia
[A]It reduces emotional stress.
[B]It advances creative thinking.
[C]It enriches work experience.
[D]It develops learning strategies.
(　　)30.What does the underlined word “promising” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
[A]Changeable. [B]Confusing.
[C]Hopeful. [D]Normal.
(　　)31.Where is the text most probably taken from
[A]A course plan.
[B]An art brochure.
[C]A medical textbook.
[D]A science magazine.

Dogs have been humans’ best friends for thousands of years,and their ability to understand us goes far beyond just following orders.Dogs are really good at understanding how humans feel.They’ve learnt to pick up on words and facial expressions of humans.A study has shown that dogs can actually smell human stress and respond to it in ways that suggest a close relationship with us humans.This interesting discovery throws light on how deeply close our lives have become with our dog friends.
So,can dogs really smell stress The answer is yes!Researchers at the University of Bristol did a study in which they found that dogs can sense stress through a chemical called cortisol (皮质醇) in our sweat.This ability allows them to respond emotionally to human stress.
In the study,18 volunteers and their dogs took part.These volunteers went through public speaking and took tests of solving difficult math problems without any preparation.Their stress made more cortisol appear in their sweat.When the dogs smelled this stressed sweat,they felt less curious and showed less interest in the food bowls,as if they had thought there was no food in those bowls.It seems that dogs can really feel the stress of humans and their own feelings can be affected,too.This shows that humans and dogs have a very deep connection,where emotions can spread between us like a wave.
Then how did dogs develop such ability to sense stress Well,it might be because sensing stress helped dogs survive in the past.If they could tell when another member of their group was stressed,they knew they might be at risk.As the researcher said,“Being able to sense stress from another member of their group was likely beneficial.”
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了狗能通过嗅觉感知人类的压力这一有趣的发现。文章还介绍了相关的研究过程、狗的这种能力对其生存的意义等内容,说明了狗与人类之间有着深厚的情感联系。
(　　)32.Why did volunteers in the study do public speaking and math tasks
[A]To test their social skills.
[B]To see how dogs would help them.
[C]To show their ability to reduce pressure.
[D]To raise their stress and cortisol levels.
(　　)33.What happened when dogs smelled stress in the study
[A]Their response was faster.
[B]They stayed away from their owners.
[C]They focused less on food.
[D]They barked to warn their owners of danger.
(　　)34.What might be the reason why dogs developed the ability to sense stress
[A]To avoid danger.
[B]To protect their food.
[C]To hunt more effectively.
[D]To better understand humans.
(　　)35.Where is this text probably taken from
[A]A guidebook for dog training.
[B]A scientific research report.

I lived in the State of Texas,where sudden storms often happen every year.Last Sunday,there was no dirt in the air,only bright spring sunshine and a clear blue sky.After lunch,Papa headed out to the field to check on the cattle while Mama started to prepare dinner.Everything seemed peaceful.Faye and I played happily in the yard.The heat had been building since dawn.Suddenly the temperature dropped—it felt cold.
Then Mama shouted from the house,“Iris,you and Faye get inside,real quick now!” I looked to the west and saw a huge black cloud of dust,like thick smoke from a railway engine’s chimney.All the birds flew away.The stop lights nearby weren’t working because of a power failure.
“Faye,go with Mama!” I shouted.“I’ll warn Papa.”
Faye ran towards the house.The storm hit so fast that I hardly saw her climb the steps.In a short time,the day turned into night.I screamed for Papa,hoping my voice would lead him back.But I couldn’t hear or see him at all.
Some house roofs were blown off,and small trees down.I thought a terrible storm was on the way and the scene was the worst I’ve seen in several years.The dirt and sand stung (刺痛) my face like a thousand bees.I needed to get to shelter.Covering my face with one hand,I made my way towards the car and opened the door.Dirt flew in with me as I pulled the door closed.Papa was still out somewhere! I needed to help him find the car.
I searched the dashboard (仪表板) and found the switch for the front lights.They made some rays,but would Papa see them in the thick darkness I pushed the horn (喇叭) again and again,hoping Papa would hear it.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly,Papa’s face appeared at the window.
Paragraph 2:
Papa shut off the car’s lights and I worried the dirt would bury us. 核心素养提升(Unit 6)

(Text 6)
W:Did you hear about the couple that got lost in the wilderness
M:Yeah.They were supposed to go camping for the weekend.They left on Saturday but never showed up on Monday for work.
W:Can you believe that they weren’t found until Thursday They didn’t even tell their families where they were going.
M:Well,it was a good thing they brought enough food.That’s the only reason they made it that long.
W:Their cellphones certainly weren’t much help.They probably thought they would work out there!
M:At least they’re OK now.
(Text 7)
M:Good morning.Is there anything I can do for you
W:I made my keyboard wet when I had some juice today,and now the keys are stuck.I can’t type up my report.
M:I see.
W:So how soon would you be able to fix it

W:Actually,I have to go to the bank and then do some shopping with my friend.I’ll just come back and pick up the keyboard when I’m done.
M:That’s OK.
(Text 8)
W:Why are you pulling into the gas station You filled up the tank at the last stop.Is there anything wrong with the car

W:Good idea.At this rate,we should make it there by six.
M:We should pick up some firewood,too.My uncle’s cabin can get very cold at night.
W:Why couldn’t we just stay in a hotel You know I need comfort.
M:Trust me.You’ll be fine once we’re settled in by the fire.It’s not like we’re staying in a tent.
W:OK.Remember we need to leave by one o’clock Sunday.
M:You’ll arrive home safely as long as we don’t get lost.
W:What !
M:Just kidding.
(Text 9)
W:Hey,James.How’s the job search going
M:Hi,Sharon.I had no idea it would take so much time.It sure makes it difficult to prepare for final exams.How about you

第二部分　阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Natural Disasters
Big waves,massive eruptions and icy winds—these are just a few things that happen naturally and can quickly turn into disasters!Understanding disasters can help us stay safe and prepared.
Let’s learn about some common natural disasters!
Volcanic Eruptions
Think about a mountain with an opening at the top through which hot lava(岩浆),gases and ash burst.That’s a volcanic eruption!People living close to volcanoes must always be prepared in case of an eruption.In this way can they get away from flowing hot lava.Interestingly,volcanic eruptions can gradually form new land when they happen under the sea.
Tsunamis
Have you ever seen huge waves Imagine waves reaching dozens of metres high—that is how big tsunami waves can be!These waves are caused by underwater earthquakes.The waves are so fast and strong that they can sweep away people and buildings.
Blizzards
A blizzard is a snowstorm that includes low temperatures,strong winds and heavy snowfall.These dangerous conditions often lead to car accidents and can cause pedestrians to get lost.Additionally,the extreme cold also puts people at risk of frostbite (冻伤) or hypothermia (体温过低).
Droughts
When it does not rain for a very long time,it can cause a drought.In some areas,the soil becomes very dry and even the plants struggle to survive without water.This is awful because all living things—from crops to wildlife and humans—depend on water for survival.
There are many natural disasters on Earth and learning about them means we can be prepared when they occur.

The China International Search and Rescue Team (CISAR) was set up in 2001 and is now made up of several hundred rescue workers and about 20 police dogs.The team brings help and hope to those whose lives are changed by a storm,flood,earthquake,or any other natural disasters.
After long and careful training,the team went on its first international rescue tasks in 2003.That year,the Chinese team helped save lives after earthquakes in Algeria (阿尔及利亚) and Iran.It was the first time that a Chinese team had worked outside China whose members won high praise for bravery and skill.
Since then,the CISAR has completed many tasks.The list of people to whom help has been given is long.The team treated more than 3,000 people who were wounded in the 2006 earthquake in Indonesia,helped 2,500 wounded people after the earthquake that hit Haiti (海地) in 2010,and spent several months giving aid to over 25,000 people suffering from the 2010 floods in Pakistan.On 26 April 2015,a group of 62 people from CISAR went to Nepal after the 8.1-magnitude earthquake that happened there.
Rescue workers are trained to find people,treat wounds,and hand out food,water,and other supplies.They have to be able to do difficult work under very dangerous conditions.After a disaster,there is usually no electricity or water,and there may be diseases and other dangers.Rescue workers get to save lives,but they must also bury the dead.That means they have to be strong in both body and mind.
Rescue workers must have big hearts,too.It takes a lot of love and courage to risk one’s own life to save someone else’s.The members of the CISAR have plenty of both and are always ready to go wherever help is needed.

As an important part of our daily lives,music is increasingly being used in medical treatment.Music has proven very useful in cancer treatment,pain management and even post-stroke recovery.Researchers have been making great progress in using music to help patients with dementia (痴呆).It reduces patients’ anxiety and pain,lifts their spirits,and improves their cognitive (认知的) function in daily activities.
So why does music have such a powerful effect on people with dementia Several years ago,researchers discovered that when people listened to music,many areas of the brain took part in processing it.Research has also shown music might help the brain and its connections grow strong again.It is believed that music could help people with dementia by fixing or strengthening impaired neural (神经的) connections and cells.
It’s not just any music that has a great effect on the brain,though.Familiar and favourite music has been shown to have the biggest influence on the way we feel,and it is closely connected with memory and emotions.This is because listening to our favourite songs helps to produce feel-good hormones (荷尔蒙) that give us a sense of pleasure.After listening to favourite music,people with dementia experienced less pain and anxiety,and their general feelings improved.
Other researchers have even begun testing the effects of music training programmes to improve cognitive function for people with dementia.Results have been promising so far,with adults in the study showing improved condition,compared to those who took part in just physical exercise.
So,music is likely to continue to be a useful medical treatment for people with dementia.But based on current evidence,it’s important that the music comes from the patient’s own music collection and is used together with other medical treatments like medication.

Dogs have been humans’ best friends for thousands of years,and their ability to understand us goes far beyond just following orders.Dogs are really good at understanding how humans feel.They’ve learnt to pick up on words and facial expressions of humans.A study has shown that dogs can actually smell human stress and respond to it in ways that suggest a close relationship with us humans.This interesting discovery throws light on how deeply close our lives have become with our dog friends.
So,can dogs really smell stress The answer is yes!Researchers at the University of Bristol did a study in which they found that dogs can sense stress through a chemical called cortisol (皮质醇) in our sweat.This ability allows them to respond emotionally to human stress.
In the study,18 volunteers and their dogs took part.These volunteers went through public speaking and took tests of solving difficult math problems without any preparation.Their stress made more cortisol appear in their sweat.When the dogs smelled this stressed sweat,they felt less curious and showed less interest in the food bowls,as if they had thought there was no food in those bowls.It seems that dogs can really feel the stress of humans and their own feelings can be affected,too.This shows that humans and dogs have a very deep connection,where emotions can spread between us like a wave.
Then how did dogs develop such ability to sense stress Well,it might be because sensing stress helped dogs survive in the past.If they could tell when another member of their group was stressed,they knew they might be at risk.As the researcher said,“Being able to sense stress from another member of their group was likely beneficial.”
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了狗能通过嗅觉感知人类的压力这一有趣的发现。文章还介绍了相关的研究过程、狗的这种能力对其生存的意义等内容,说明了狗与人类之间有着深厚的情感联系。
(　　)32.Why did volunteers in the study do public speaking and math tasks
[A]To test their social skills.
[B]To see how dogs would help them.
[C]To show their ability to reduce pressure.
[D]To raise their stress and cortisol levels.
【答案】 D
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“These volunteers went through...more cortisol appear in their sweat.”可知,让志愿者进行公开演讲和解决数学难题的测试是为了增加他们的压力和皮质醇水平。故选D。
(　　)33.What happened when dogs smelled stress in the study
[A]Their response was faster.
[B]They stayed away from their owners.
[C]They focused less on food.
[D]They barked to warn their owners of danger.
【答案】 C
【解析】 细节理解题。 根据第三段中的“When the dogs smelled this stressed sweat...showed less interest in the food bowls”可知,当狗闻到这种有压力的汗液时,它们的好奇心会减弱,对食物碗也不那么感兴趣了,即对食物的关注度会降低。故选C。
(　　)34.What might be the reason why dogs developed the ability to sense stress
[A]To avoid danger.
[B]To protect their food.
[C]To hunt more effectively.
[D]To better understand humans.
【答案】 A
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Well,it might be because...they knew they might be at risk.”可知,狗进化出感知压力的能力可能是为了避免危险。故选A。
(　　)35.Where is this text probably taken from
[A]A guidebook for dog training.
[B]A scientific research report.
[C]A newspaper about animal adventures.
[D]A magazine about wildlife protection.
【答案】 B
【解析】 推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了狗能通过嗅觉感知人类的压力这一有趣的发现。文章还介绍了相关的研究过程、狗的这种能力对其生存的意义等内容,说明了狗与人类之间有着深厚的情感联系。由此可推知,本文有可能出自一份科学研究报告。故选B。

58.　　　　 (nature) phenomenon.
Some byproducts (副产品) of the burning of fossil fuels are called greenhouse gases,the most important one of which is carbon dioxide.More heat energy tends to be trapped (收集) in the atmosphere 59.　　　　 (cause) the global temperature to go up.
Some scientists accept the idea that the problem begins when we add huge 60.　　 　　 (quantity) of extra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.However,some scientists are opposed

【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了全球气候变暖的成因,以及全球气候变暖带来的影响。
56.【答案】 compared
【解析】 考查非谓语动词。be compared to意为“与……相比”。设空处所在句为状语从句,其完整形式为“when it is compared to other changes”,由于从句和主句的主语相同(it),因此可以省略从句的主语和be动词,省略后为when compared to other changes。故填compared。
57.【答案】 that
【解析】 考查同位语从句。“There is no doubt that...”意为“毫无疑问……”。此处是对doubt内容的说明,为同位语从句,用连接词that来引导。故填that。
58.【答案】 natural
【解析】 考查形容词。设空处后的phenomenon (现象)是名词,前面需要用一个形容词作定语。故填natural。
59.【答案】 causing
【解析】 考查非谓语动词。heat energy与cause之间为主动关系,因此要用现在分词作结果状语。故填causing。

【解析】 考查名词。表示“许多,大量”的含义可用a quantity of或者quantities of。设空处前没有不定冠词a。故填quantities。
61.【答案】 to
【解析】 考查介词。be opposed to是固定搭配,意为“反对”。故填to。
62.【答案】 Having collected
【解析】 考查非谓语动词。collect先于谓语动词helps发生,并且和其逻辑主语the writer是主动关系,所以需要用现在分词的完成式having collected。位于句首的单词首字母要大写。故填Having collected。
63.【答案】 their
【解析】 考查代词。根据设空处后的名词houses可知,设空处需要用形容词性物主代词来作定语。故填their。

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I lived in the State of Texas,where sudden storms often happen every year.Last Sunday,there was no dirt in the air,only bright spring sunshine and a clear blue sky.After lunch,Papa headed out to the field to check on the cattle while Mama started to prepare dinner.Everything seemed peaceful.Faye and I played happily in the yard.The heat had been building since dawn.Suddenly the temperature dropped—it felt cold.
Then Mama shouted from the house,“Iris,you and Faye get inside,real quick now!” I looked to the west and saw a huge black cloud of dust,like thick smoke from a railway engine’s chimney.All the birds flew away.The stop lights nearby weren’t working because of a power failure.
“Faye,go with Mama!” I shouted.“I’ll warn Papa.”
Faye ran towards the house.The storm hit so fast that I hardly saw her climb the steps.In a short time,the day turned into night.I screamed for Papa,hoping my voice would lead him back.But I couldn’t hear or see him at all.
Some house roofs were blown off,and small trees down.I thought a terrible storm was on the way and the scene was the worst I’ve seen in several years.The dirt and sand stung (刺痛) my face like a thousand bees.I needed to get to shelter.Covering my face with one hand,I made my way towards the car and opened the door.Dirt flew in with me as I pulled the door closed.Papa was still out somewhere! I needed to help him find the car.
I searched the dashboard (仪表板) and found the switch for the front lights.They made some rays,but would Papa see them in the thick darkness I pushed the horn (喇叭) again and again,hoping Papa would hear it.

　　One possible version:
Suddenly,Papa’s face appeared at the window.My heart jumped with surprise and relief. He opened the door and climbed onto the seat next to me.He coughed,wiped his eyes with dirty hands,and then pulled me into his arms. “Oh,Iris,you’re safe.” I hugged Papa and cried.I could feel the tears streaming down my dirty cheeks.Papa looked into my face,“Your mother and Faye ” I said,“They are in the house.” Papa nodded,“Good.We’ll wait out the storm here.”
Papa shut off the car’s lights and I worried the dirt would bury us.Luckily,the wind died down and the dust .Papa kicked against the door,opening it far enough to let us out,removing the dust. We went home as Mama .“Mama!” I shouted and ran into her arms.“Oh,my precious Iris!” Mama cried.“You and Papa are safe!”“I’m safe thanks to Iris,” Papa said,“The car’s horn led me to shelter.”“I’m so proud of you,” Mama said to me.I cried even more,with tears of joy because my family had survived the horrible
storm.
