11. A couple had to put their wedding on hold after a barn owl (仓枭) called Darcy which had been chosen to deliver the rings fell asleep in the roof of the church. The bride had secretly arranged it. But what happened was out of her expectation.
Rev Bryan, who was in charge of the ceremony between Sonia Cadman, 46, and Andrew Mettle, 49, said: “It would have been ly excellent --- if it worked. It was a lovely idea and it was supposed to be really stunning. When it dived over the heads of the guests, they’d all feel the air rushing from its wings and would get a big surprise.
“The groom is an amateur falconer (训鹰人) and so it was secretly arranged for two falconers to suddenly appear at the moment when the best man was about to hand over the rings. One of them stood at the front of the church next to us with a gauntlet (金属护手) on, as another appeared at the back of the church with a box. The owl came out and paused for a little bit. Then it saw the gauntlet and took off but instead of landing on the arm of the man and delivering the rings, it went up over our heads, landed in the roof space and fell asleep then.”
Rev Bryan added: “We all laughed about it, and then we tried to get it down, but it didn’t come. It probably thought ‘I’m a barn owl and this is like a barn, so I’ll take a rest’. It is said that never work with animals because they don’t always do as they’re told! So we had plan B --- a back-up pair of rings. After a few minutes, we gave up trying to get it down and carried on. It was nice to be able to have a bit of a laugh. It’s important that people realize that a church wedding doesn’t just come as a package of things you have to do. I’m all for i ncluding something of the personality and individuality of the couple getting married. It was such a magical wedding and full of emotion.”
“Luckily the service was able to go ahead and the groom was able to hold the bird (after it woke up) and have so me really nice pictures taken after the ceremony.”
63. Why did Darcy appear on the wedding ceremony?
A. It was expected to deliver the rings to the couple.
B. It was the pet of the new couple.
C. The groom wanted to take picture with it.
D. The bride arranged to give it to the groom as a gift.
64. What does the underlined word “stunning” (paragraph 2) mean?
A. Harmonious.
B. Funny.
C. Amazing.
D. Inspiring.
65. What did Rev Bryan think of Darcy’s accident?
A. It had been intended by the two falconers.
B. It made the wedding not as good as expected.
C. It added fun to the routine wedding ceremony.
D. It helped people to realize the value of church weddings.
66. Sonia and Andrew’s wedding ceremony could not go on without ______.
A.the owl
B. falconers
C. the guests
D. the back-up rings 参考答案：

season to visit England. The weather is usually good but there aren’t too many tourists in October.

by foot. We went to look at the places where all tourists see. We saw Buckingham Palace and the
National Gallery.
We went to shopping in Oxford Street and spent too many money .What we liked most,
though, was going to theatre. We don’t have the chance to see so wonderful plays at home .A lot of
people say English food is very badly. We didn’t think so. It’s true that most of the restaurants are
French or Italian or Chinese, but we had some very good meal.

三、阅读理解
18. I always wanted to be extraordinary at something. Not just as in,”Great job, Jimbo!” No, I wanted to be best-in-class, awe-inspiring, tiptop; a world-famous genius,like Michael Phelps or Mark Zuckerberg.
Unfortunately, my version of reality did not quite line up with this delusional vision. I was a good swimmer, but I peaked at the collegiate State Championships level. My academic record was pretty solid, but I never would have made it into one of those ivy-league schools.
Though I rose to above-average status in a couple of areas, the disappointing truth was that I would never amount to anything more than a mid-sized fish in a small pond. God apparently had other plans.
What drove me crazy, though, was the superstar talent thrown in my face at every turn. Some folks just seemed to get an unfair intensive dose(剂量)of it. Why couldn’t I be like Bernie William, the famed New Yorkees player who also happens to be a world-class jazz guitar virtuoso(艺术大师)?
Some say greatness is simply a function of putting in the practice time. Around ten thousand hours, to be precise, according to author Malcolm Gladwell. I don’t question the theory of devoting extraordinary efforts to developing one’s expertise, but it seems that raw talent is equally important. You either have it or you don’t.
I’ve he ard that as people approach middle age, their life satisfaction increases because they begin to accept the gap between the expectations for themselves and the reality. After a few decades of frustration without the desired results, we eventually come to terms with how our lives turned out, even if it falls far short of our idealized youthful expectation.
Hope bends, it seems.
4. What does the word “delusional” in Para2 most probably mean?
A. Imaginary
B. Realistic
C. Abstract
D. Practical
5. In the passage, the writer thinks of himself as .
A. a world-famous genius
B. a mid-sized fish in a small pond
C. a world-class virtuoso
D. a student in an ivy-league school
6. According to the writer, what makes “greatness”?A. Extraordinary efforts B. Ten thousand hours of practice C. Raw talent D. Talent and time
7. Which of the following might be the best title ?
A. Hope Bends
B. Frustrating Decades
C. Practice Works
D. Youthful Expectation
参考答案：
4. A
5. B
6. D
7. A
【分析】
本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

作者通过自身经验出发，自己年少时想成为最优秀的人，但是实际与期望有偏差，成功需要有天赋以及付出时间。

到最后在经历了几十年的挫折却没有得到想要的结果之后，我们最终会接受我们的生活是怎样的，即使它远远达不到我们理想的年轻的期望。

【4题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据上文Unfortunately, my version of reality did not quite line up with this可知不幸的是，作者对现实的看法与这种妄想不太一致。

此处的妄想是指第一段中作者希望自己是个十分优秀的人，故此处delusional与reality意思相反，可知划线单词意思为“想象的”。

故选A。

【5题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第三段中Though I rose to above-average status in a couple of areas, the disappointing truth was that I would never amount to anything more than a mid-sized fish in a small pond. 可知虽然我在几个方面都达到了中等以上的水平，但令人失望的事实是，我只不过是小池塘里的一条中等大小的鱼。

由此可知，在这篇文章中，作者认为自己是小池塘里的中等大小的鱼。

故选B。

【6题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第五段中Some say greatness is simply a function of putting in the practice time.(有人说，伟大仅仅是投入练习时间的结果)以及后文I don’t question the theory of devoting extraordinary efforts to developing one’s expertise, but it seems that raw talent is equally important.(我并不怀疑为发展自己的专业技能而付出非凡努力的理论，但似乎天赋也同样重要)由此可知，作者认为，是天赋和时间造就了“伟大”。

故选D。

【7题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据最后一段Hope bends, it seems.可知看上去希望屈服了。

再结合本文作者通过自身经验出发，自己年少时想成为最优秀的人，但是实际与期望有偏差，成功需要有天赋以及付出时间。

到最后在经历了几十年的挫折却没有得到想要的结果之后，我们最终会接受我们的生活是怎样的，即使它远远达不到我们理想的年轻的期望。

故A选项“希望屈服了”符合文章标题。

故选A。

【点睛】词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一，可以大致分为
①定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。

如文中常用refer to, be called或
that's to say,
such as等。

② 逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly, the same as, but, however, while, on the other hand, since ,because等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。

③ 语法猜词，可以根据构词法，再结合上下文进行猜词。

④ 语境猜词，猜测词义离不开上下文的语境，通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析，同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。

⑤ 指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代内容，做题时要注意指代词的位置，以便于判断，然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致，最后比较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。

如第一小题，根据上文Unfortunately, my version of reality did not quite line up with this可知不幸的是，作者对现实的看法与这种妄想不太一致。

此处的妄想是指第一段中作者希望自己是个十分优秀的人，故此处delusional与reality意思相反，可知划线单词意思为“想象的”。

故选A。

19. The globe is facing a “tidal wave” of cancer, and restrictions on alcohol and sugar nee d to be considered, say World Health Organization scientists. It predicts the number of cancer cases will reach 24 million a year by 2035, but half could be prevented. The WHO said there was now a “real need” to focus on cancer prevention by cutting down s moking, obesity and drinking.
The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) said there was an “alarming” level of ignorance about diet’s role in cancer. Fourteen million people a year are diagnosed with cancer, but that is predicted to increase to 19 million by 2025, 22 million by 2030 and 24 million by 2035. The developing world will bear the worst of the extra cases.
Dr Chris Wild, the director of the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer, told the BBC: “The global cancer burden is increasing qui te markedly, due mainly to the ageing of the populations and population growth. If we look at the cost of treatment of cancers, it is increasing out of control, even for the high-income countries. Prevention is ly critical and it’s been somewhat neglected.”
The WHO’s World Cancer Report 2014 said the major sources of preventable cancer included: smoking, infections, alcohol, obesity and inactivity, radiation, both from the sun and medical scans, air pollution and other environmental factors, delayed parenthood, having fewer children and not breastfeeding.
For most countries, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. However, cervical cancer (子宫颈癌) dominates in large parts of Africa.
One of the report’s editor s, Dr Bernard Stewart from the University of New South Wales in Australia, said prevention had a “critical role in fighting the tidal wave of cancer which we see coming across the world”. He said human behaviour was behind many cancers such as the sunbathe “until you’re cooked evenly on both sides” approach in his native Australia. There was a similar argument to be something with sugar fuelling obesity, which in turn affected cancer risk.
Meanwhile, a survey of 2,046 people in the UK by the WCRF suggested 49% do not know that diet increases the risk of developing cancer. A third of people said cancer was mainly due to family history, but the charity said no more than 10% of cancers were down to inherited genes.
Amanda McLean, general manager for the WCRF, s aid: “It’s very alarming to see that such a large number of people don’t know that there’s a lot they can do to significantly reduce their risk of getting cancer. In the UK, about a third of the most common cancers could be prevented through being a health y weight, eating a healthy diet and being regularly physically active.”
“People can cut their risk of cancer by making healthy lifestyle choices, but it’s important to remember that the government and society are also responsible for creating an environment that supports healthy lifestyles.”
72. What’s the main reason for the increasing of cancer according to Dr Chris Wild?
A. The lack of the cost of treatment of cancers.
B. The problems of population ageing and growth.
C. The high rate of cancer of high-income countries.
D. The over-prevention of various cancers.
73. What can we learn from Paragraph 6?
A. Radiation from the sun won’t lead to any cancer.
B. In order to find cancer early one should receive as many medical scans as possible.
C. It is better to feed babies with cow milk instead of breastfeeding.
D. A healthy diet and regular exercise are helpful to prevent cancer.
74. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The Tidal Wave of Cancer is Coming
B. Stopping Smoking Helps Stop Cancer
C. Healthy Lifestyles to Prevent Cancer
D. Healthy Eating, Away from Cancer
75. How can we prevent cancer according to the passage?
a. By stopping smoking.
b. By drinking less alcohol.
c. By eating a healthy diet.
d. By putting off giving birth to babies.
e. By taking exercise regularly.
A. abcd
B. abce
C. abde
D. acde

BDCB。
