由此可知，C选项“童话人物沙雕”可以参加艺术节举办的比赛。

故选C。

【2题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段中For the rest of the festival, the public can vote on the Peop le’s Choice Award by making a gold coin donation, with the winner to be announced publicly on Saturday, 29 February.可知在余下的时间里，公众可以通过捐赠金币的方式来投票选出“人民选择奖”，获奖者将于2月29日（星期六）公布。

故选A。

B
I teach online and have been doing so for years .I understand the value of traditional face-to-face course offerings for certain courses and certain subjects.
I doubt an online course in chemistry can ever be as effective (有效的) as a
face-to-face course held in a lab. Fortunately, I teach writing, and the Internet is an effective place for teaching subjects that call for careful reading and discussion.
It is true that there are things I cannot do in my classes on the Internet. It is also true, however, that there are things I cannot do in my classes held in traditional classrooms. So the question we should ask is: What works better or worse in face-to-face classes rather than in online courses, and vice versa(反之亦然)?
One of the things I value most in my online classes is the necessity for everyone to take part in order to show their presence. In my face-to-face classes, a student can sit quietly and appear to be engaged in(积极参与) the discussion without ever offering a thought or opinion. Online, I consider a student who sits quietly but who does not join in the discussion to be simply not present. Further, students in
face-to-face classes who are too shy or who are talked over by quicker and louder voices have the chance to take part in an online discussion.
When I teach online, my students and I can be inside or outside and we can sit wherever and however we want. In Michigan, where a winter storm can make going to campus dangerous or even impossible, the ability to learn in class from the comfort of wherever you live is a big advantage. When the weather is not nice, I often teach while sitting in a local coffee shop. When the weather is nice, I often teach while sitting in my backyard.
I agree that online educatio n is not a “recipe (秘诀)for personal success.” Then again, I’m not sure traditional face-to-face education is such a recipe, either.
4. What does the author think of online courses and traditional courses?
A. Chemistry courses can be done online.
B. Online courses are more popular.
C. Traditional courses are more helpful.
D. Both have their advantages.
5. How can shy students benefit from online discussion?
A. They can do a better job than louder students.
B. They can sit quietly to listen to others opinions.
C. They can think independently and take an active part.
D. They can appear to be engaged in online discussion.
6. Which advantage of online teaching is mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A. It is much safer.
B. It is less affected by weather.
C. It is more comfortable.
D. It happens anytime.
7. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Why I teach online.
B. I’ m online.
C. A recipe for success.
D. A new teaching style.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A
【解析】
这是一篇议论文。

短文以作者自己的教学经历对比了传统教学和网络教学的优缺点，更侧重于强调网络教学的优势。

但是作者同意网络教育并不是个人成功的“秘方”，传统的面对面
教学也不是“良方”。

【4题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段“It is true that there are things I cannot do in my classes on the Internet. It is also true, however, that there are things I cannot do in my classes held in traditional classrooms.”可知，确实有些事情我不能在网络课堂上做。

然而，在传统的课堂上，有些事情是我做不到的。

所以作者认为传统课程和网络课程都有自己的优势。

故选D项。

【5题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第三段“In my face-to-face classes, a student can sit quietly and appear to be engaged in(积极参与) the discussion without ever offering a thought or opinion. Online, I consider a student who sits quietly but who does not join in the discussion to be simply not present.”可知，在我面对面的课堂上，一个学生可以安静地坐着，看起来像是在参与讨论，却从不提出任何想法或意见。

在网络课堂中，我认为一个安静地坐着不参加讨论的学生根本就不存在。

由此可知，在网络课堂中，害羞的孩子可以独立思考，积极参与。

故选C项。

【6题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第四段“In Michigan, where a winter storm can make going to campus dangerous or even impossible, the ability to learn in class from the comfort of wherever you live is a big advantage. When the weather is not nice, I often teach while sitting in a local coffee shop. When the weather is nice, I often teach while sitting in my backyard.”可知，在密歇根州，一场冬季暴风雪会让上学变得很危险，甚至是不可能上学，无论你住在哪里，在舒适的环境中，在课堂上学习的能力是一个很大的优势。

当天气不好的时候，我经常坐在当地的咖啡店里给学生上网课。

天气好的时候，我经常坐在后院给学生上网课。

由此可知，第四段提到了网络教学的优点是网络教学受天气影响较小。

故选B项。

【7题详解】
主旨大意题。

短文以作者自己网络的教学经历对比了传统教学和网络教学的优缺点。

更侧重于强调网络教学的优势。

The Apollo Programme was set up by NASA, the US space agency, to land a man on the Moon by the end of the 1960s. Once this had been achieved by Apollo 11in 1969, other Moon missions didn’t create the same level of public excite ment. The Apollo 13 astronauts were Fred Haise, Jim Lovell and Jack Swigert. Lovell later told the BBC that people were getting bored of the Moon. When the astronauts filmed
a message to Earth after 55 hours of space flight, none of the major TV channels
in the US took time to show it live.
Nine minutes after filming the message to Earth, one of the ship’s two oxygen tanks exploded. Swigert got in touch with mission control, which was in the city of Houston in Texas, US, and said, “Houston, we’ve had a problem here.” The explosion meant that the astronauts would no longer be able to land on the Moon.
Instead, the goal was simply to get back to Earth alive. The crew used the lunar module as a lifeboat.
By now, Apollo 13had drawn the world’s attention, Millio ns of people watched television on17 April to see whether the astronauts would get back to Earth. There were fears that damage to the command module might mean that the parachutes needed for landing wouldn’t work. To make matters worse, for four minutes. M ission control lost connection with the astronauts. Luckily, the astronauts landed safely in the Pacific Ocean.
NASA referred to Apollo 13as a “successful failure”. It didn’t complete its original mission, but the calm and quick thinking of the astronauts and mission control experts prevented a disaster. The tanks were redesigned and a third one added to future spacecraft as backup, to make sure that such an accident never happened again. In 1995, the events of Apollo /3were made into a hit film starring Tom Hanks.
8. What was people’s attitude towards Apollo 13 at first?
A. They were interested in it.
B. They were tired of it.
C. They were excited about it.
D. They were uncertain about it.
9. What was wrong with Apollo 13?
A. One of its oxygen tanks blew up.
B. It went in the wrong direction.
C. It lost its connection with Earth completely.
D. One of its astronauts didn’t operate it properly.
10. Why was Apollo 13called a “successful failure”?
A. It caused a lot of loss but created a lot of business value as well.
B. It didn’t attract much attention but landed on Earth safely.
C. It didn’t finish its task but a disaster was avoided.
D. It was ruined but speeded up space exploration.
11. What is this text mainly about?
A. The history of space exploration.
B. A discussion about space exploration.
C. The big events of the Apollo programme.
D. An introduction to a space survival incident.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。

文章记叙了执行登月任务的阿波罗13号一开始没有得到人们的关注，直到在拍摄到向地球发出的信息9分钟后，飞船上两个氧气罐中的一个发生爆炸。

阿波罗13号因此吸引了全世界的注意力，数百万人在4月17日观看电视，幸好最终宇航员们安全降落在太平洋上。

美国宇航局称阿波罗13号是一次“成功的失败”。

【8题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第一段中Lovell later told the BBC that people were getting bored of the Moon. When the astronauts filmed a message to Earth after 55 hours of space flight, none of the major TV channels in the US took time to show it live.可知Lovell后来告诉BBC，人们对月球感到厌倦了。

当宇航员在经过55小时的太空飞行后拍摄了一条给地球的信息时，美国的主要电视频道都没有花时间对其进行现场直播。

由此可知，最初人们对阿波罗13号的态度是厌倦。

故选B。

【9题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段中Nine minutes after filming the message to Earth, one of the ship’s two oxygen tanks (罐)exploded.可知在拍摄到向地球发出的信息9分钟后，飞船上两个氧气罐中的一个发生爆炸。

D
It’s said that every Irish “mammy” has her own way to cook Irish stew(炖菜). Simple but satisfying, it has fed the poor over centuries, which makes it a national dish.
The ingredients tell th e story. First up, there’s the “spud”, as the Irish call the potato. First brought to Ireland in the 16th century, it was an unbelievable food, providing bumper crops that could be stored over the cold winter months. Soon, everyone was eating it — for breakfast, lunch and tea.
With the arrival of the spud, the population increased from one million to eight million in less than three centuries. But this dependence on the vegetable would prove disastrous when crops were struck by disease in the 1840s. The great famine(饥
荒)that followed killed over a million people — and forced millions more to run to other countries. It’s hard to believe that during the years of famine, Ireland continued to export huge quantities of food to Great Britain, its colonial master at the time.
Today, Ireland is an independent nation. Nobody thinks about the potato famine as they enjoy their Irish stew but there’s a bone-deep awareness of the country’s long connection with the spud.
Potatoes are all well and good, but the stew gets its taste from the meat. It used to be made with mutton as it was the only meat available to the poor. However, the only way to make it good enough to eat was to stew it in the pot for hours.
Today, most people use lamb. However, this remains slightly traditional among purists, who also criticize(批评)the addition of ingredients like carrots, parsnips, thyme and supermarket-bought materials.
12. Why was the potato called an unbelievable food in the 16th century?
A. It could be accepted by both the poor and the rich.
B. It could be cooked into many delicious dishes.
C. It could be kept for a long time.
D. It could grow in winter in Ireland.
13. What did the dependence on the potato lead to in the 1840s?
A. The growing population.
B. A very serious famine.
C. A war between Ireland and Britain.
D. Millions of people rushing to Ireland.
14. What is the most important step when cooking Irish stew?
A. Stewing the dish for hours.
B. Using enough potatoes.
C. Picking up the high-quality lamb.
D. Adding different kinds of ingredients.
15. What is this text mainly about?
A. Ways to cook Irish stew.
B. The present situation of Irish stew.
C. The importance of potatoes.
D. An Irish national dish about potatoes.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】

根据第二段中First brought to Ireland in the 16th century, it was an unbelievable food, providing bumper crops that could be stored over the cold winter months.可知它在16世纪首次被带到爱尔兰，是一种令人难以置信的食物，可以提供大丰收的作物，可以储存到寒冷的冬天。

随后发生的大饥荒导致100多万人死亡，并迫使数百万人逃往其他国家。
