Ⅱ. 阅读理解
Ireland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the
16th century when English rulers tried to conquer(征服)Ireland. For
hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally,
in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the
south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irela nds〞 . Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south, is an independent country.
In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750, 000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage(短缺)of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8. 2 million in 1841 to 6. 6 million in 1851.
For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.
The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks〞 . Since independence, Ireland has revived(复兴)its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc. (298W)
1. What does the author tell us in Paragraph 1?
A. How the Irish fought against the English.
B. How Ireland gained independence.
C. How English rulers tried to conquer Ireland.
D. How two “Irelands〞 came into being.
2. We learn from the text that in Ireland.
A. food shortages in the 1840s led to a decline in population
B. people are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countryside
C. it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory worker
D. different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments
3. The last paragraph is mainly about.
A. the Irish character
B. Irish culture
C. Irish musical instruments
D. a famous Irish writer
4. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Life in Ireland
B. A Very Difficult History
C. Ireland, Past and Present
D. The Independence of Ireland
Ⅲ. 阅读第二节
根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最优选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

The War Against Sand
Imagine living on the edge of a vast desert, which is moving quietly closer to your village every day and covering your fields. The desert is on the move. This is called desertification.
Desertification occurs in regions close to an already existing desert. 1 The first is over-use of water in the area. There is not enough water in any case, and if it is not carefully used, disaster can follow. As time goes on, water shortages make farming more and more difficult. In some places, locals can remember local lakes and marshes which were once the homes for all kinds of fish and birds. 2 Farmers leave the land, and fields are replaced by deserts.
The second cause is misuse or over-use of the land. 3 Ploughing(耕)large fields and removing bushes and trees mean that the wind will blow away the soil. Once the soil is lost, it is hard to replace, and if there is rain, it has nowhere to go, and brings no benefit.
4 Every spring, the skies over some of eastern cities, thousands of kilometers away from the deserts, can be darkened by sandstorms. Dust from deserts can have a great effect on weather systems. While desertification is perhaps being partly caused by global warming, these sandstorms can make global warming worse by adding to what is known as the greenhouse effect.
What can be done to slow down or stop the process of desertification? A great deal of work is already under way. Obviously the first step is to find new water sources.
5 Some types of grass also hold the soil together, and stop the wind taking it. Without these efforts, it will be harder and harder to stop the world’s deserts in their
tracks, and more and more farmers will give up and head for cities. The lesson to be learnt lies beneath the sand.
A. It generally arises from two related causes.
B. It is not only the farmers and villagers who suffer.
C. They have been completely buried by the sand now.
D. Scientists are doing the research on the cause of desertification.
E. They destroy the land, as the soil dries out and is then blown away.
F. Tree planting can help, by providing barriers between deserts and rich fields.
G. This means that the wrong crops are planted, and need more water than is available. 【语篇随练】
请结合阅读理解用英语概括每段段落大意
答案解析
Ⅰ.1.【解析】选B。

be worthy of being done是固定搭配, 表示“……值得被做……〞。

be worth doing “(某人/物)值得被做〞; It’s worthwhile to do/doing. . . “值得做某事〞; worthless “无价值的〞。

故B项正确。

2．【解析】选A。

句意: 由于丈夫下岗, 这对夫妇不得不节省每一分钱, 度过困难时期。

survive sth. “从……中挺过来〞 , 符合句意, 故A项正确。

3.【解析】选A。

句意: ——今天怎么没见Diana? ——我很遗憾地告诉你她已被我们公司开除了。

remove移动; 除掉; employ雇用; explore探索; 探险; interrupt打断。

由句意可知应选A项。

4. 【解析】选D。

考查名词性从句。

句意: 调查组已经找到证据明确司机在驾车时睡觉是事
故的主要原因。

句中that引导的是同位语从句, 修饰evidence, 从句中不缺少任何成分, 应用that引导, 应当选D。

【知识拓展】英语中常考的两种分隔现象
(1)同位语从句和先行词的分隔。

例如:
A story goes that Elizabeth-Ⅰof England liked nothing more than being surrounded by clever and qualified noblemen at court.
句中的“Elizabeth-Ⅰof England liked nothing more than being surrounded by clever and qualified noblemen at court. 〞是主语A story的同位语。

由于该同位语较长而谓语较短, 为保持句子平衡, 谓语动词goes放在了主语与同位语从句之间, 造成了同位语从句与主语的分隔。

(2)定语从句和先行词的分隔。

例如:
The film brought the hours back to me when I was taken good care of in that faraway village.
句子的主体结构为“The film brought the hours back to me. 〞。

它语意清晰, 结构紧凑, 同时也防止了出现类似于when I was taken good care of in that faraway village 这样太长的定语, 那样易造成句子失去平衡, 而且把宾语hours与其补足语back to me分隔开来也会造成理解困难。

5.【解析】选A。

考查动词词义辨析。

句意: 警察一到那里炸弹就爆炸了。

explode爆炸; explore 探险; expect期望; explain解释。

6.【解析】选B。

考查动词用法和词义辨析。

句意: 第一个野生成长的熊猫已完成野生训练的信息被证明是真的。

prove(to be)+adj.“证明……〞 , prove在这里为系动词; design “设计〞 , 不符合句意。

7.【解析】选D。

考查介词短语辨析。

句意: 人们相信一名优秀的教师是全身心投入到孩子身上并且不求回报的人。

in return表示“作为(对……的)回报〞。

前三项分别表示“依次〞“提前〞“简言之〞 , 都不符合句意。

【变式备选】
The company gives him chances, and he gives his skills.
A. in all
B. in fact
C. in short
D. in return
【解析】选D。

考查含有in的词组辨析。

句意: 公司给他提供机会, 作为回报他为公司付出他的技术。

in all共计; in fact实际上; in short简而言之; in return作为回报。

应当
选D。

8.【解析】选A。

考查短语辨析。

句意: 由于令人兴奋的故事情节不仅吸引了读者也吸引了好莱坞的电影制造商, 这部小说不仅一次被改编成电影。

appeal to “吸引〞与句意相符。

9.【解析】选C。

考查search的短语搭配。

句意: 泥石流之后, 幸存者出去寻找剩下来的东西。

in search of=in one’s search for。

10.【解析】选B。

此处表示被动意义, be highly thought of意思是“受到高度评价〞。

11.【解析】选C。

考查动词辨析。

句意: 尽管她年纪大了, 她仍旧认为自己还年轻漂亮。

picture vt. “认为; 想象〞 , 但没有picture oneself to be结构; regard. . . as, 但此时as不能换成to be; hope也没有hope sb. to do结构。

fancy sb. /sth. as/to be “认为某人/物是……〞 , 所以C项符合题意。

12. 【解析】选A。

分析句子结构可知, 两个the day后接的都是定语从句。

第一个从句中不缺主语或宾语, 缺时间状语, 故第一个空用when; 第二个从句中spent后缺宾语, 故第二个空用that或which。

13.【解析】选B。

考查形容词辨析。

根据问句“你觉得西班牙队和瑞士队的比赛怎样? 〞和答语中的“强大的西班牙以0∶1输了〞可知, amazing “令人惊讶的〞 , 符合句意。

14. 【解析】选B。

在英语中“介词+关系代词+不定式〞相当于定语从句的缩略结构, 如本句中的in which to store grain就相当于in which he could store grain。

在该结构中, “介词+关系代词〞不可以用关系副词替换。

15.【解析】选C。

考查主语从句。

句意: 作者在他书中所说的话让读者不安。

what引导的是主语从句, 且what在主语从句中作宾语。

应当选C项。

【知识拓展】what与名词性从句
(1)what在从句中的意义有三种情况。

“所……〞; “……的样子〞; “比如, 好比〞。

(2)其引导的从句可以转化成: 先行词+定语从句的形式或all that+定语从句的形式, 例如, 上面题干可以转换为:
The word that the writer says in his book makes the readers upset.
(3)在语法上, what引导的名词性从句常当作名词性的短语, 故介词后的名词性从句常使用what作为引导词。

In front of what remained of his old house, he had some photos taken.
在老房子的断壁残垣前面, 他拍了几张照片。

Ⅱ.
昔日的爱尔兰饱经风霜，如今的爱尔兰光彩夺目。

翻开它的历史，体验它的风情。

爱尔兰，一个神奇的国度。

1. 【解析】选D。

段落大意题。

本段的后半局部表示的是最终结果, 所以第一段作者意在阐述两个“爱尔兰〞是如何形成的。

2.【解析】选A。

细节理解题。

第二段提到在19世纪40年代, 由于土豆被病毒感染, 大约75万人死于饥饿, 由此可知这一时期的食物短缺导致了人口下降。

本段最后一句话也是线索提示。

3.【解析】选B。

段落大意题。

通读本段内容尤其是根据本段中间局部的“Since independence, Ireland has revived its own culture of. . . 〞可知本段主要阐述的是爱尔兰文化。

其余选项都不具有概括性。

4.【解析】选C。

主旨大意题。

文章回顾了爱尔兰艰辛的独立过程以与曾经的困难岁月, 接着概述了爱尔兰如今的风貌, 所以“爱尔兰今昔〞作文章标题最适宜。

Ⅲ.答案: 1~5. ACGBF
