1.【2018年山东省青岛市】
Some scientists say that animals in the ocean are
increasingly threatened(威胁) by noise pollution caused by
human beings. The noise that influences sea animals comes
from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by
industrial underwater explosions(爆炸) , ocean drilling, and
ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds.
These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater
earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.
Decibels (分贝) measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety five would have the same effect（效果）.
Some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit （限度）of one hundred and twenty decibels in oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales（鲸鱼）.
A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals. The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales' ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed.
Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research. Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists suspect that noise is a greater danger than they believed. It’s time for them to take action to help ocean animals.
22. Which of the following is not caused by human beings?
A. The noise of industrial underwater explosions.
B. The noise of ocean drilling.
C. The sound of underwater earthquakes
D. The noise of ship engines.
23. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?
A. The same noise measures differently on land and in the ocean.
B. Different places may have different types of noises.
C. The noises can cause humans to lose hearing.
D. There are different kinds of natural sounds in the ocean.
24. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Powerful underwat er explosions aren’t harmful to whales’ ears.
B. Many researchers are against the noise limit of 120 decibels.
C. Noises cannot cause whales’ death.
D. The noise limit of 120 decibels would hardly influence the industrial research.
25. According to the passage, we can infer that scientists will probably .
A. work hard to cut down natural sounds.
B. stop industrial and scientific research in oceans.
C. try their best to make no noise.
D. protect ocean animals from harmful noises.
【答案】22. C 23. A 24. B 25. D
23. 根据Decibels (分贝) measured in water are different from those measured on land.和后文可知主要讲水下分贝测量和陆地不一样；故选A
25. 根据文章讲述了噪音污染对海洋生物的伤害，科学家研究怎么保护海洋生物不受伤害。

故选D

It is simple to be fat but difficult to be strong. Aamir Khan invited many coaches to train him to lose weight and took him a few months to be strong. He must eat less and drink more. Strength training is also important. This kind of physical training is very boring. He had to lift different weights and do it over and over again. Aamir Khan set a goal to himself day by day and the minute he made it, he fell down on the ground and could hardly stand up. In the end, he became the exact person the movie needs.
The role he played was very moving and he succeeded at last. As he says, the most important thing in life is not whether you can reach your goal but whether you have made the greatest efforts.

52. 细节理解题。

根据第一段His name’s Mahavir. In real life, he is called “the father of India women wrestling” because thousands of girls across India have been supported to take up wrestling with his efforts.可知，Mahavir被称为“印度女子摔跤之父”，因为他在摔跤这项运动中给予印度成千上万的女孩极大的支持。

故答案为C。

53. 句子排序题。

根据第二段第三句“Aamir Kh an was very serious about his character and he tried to make this character close to the true story.”Aamir Khan对他的这个人物非常认真，他试图使这
个角色接近真实的故事。

根据第三段第一句“Aamir Khan started to eat a lot every day before making the movie.”Aamir Khan在制作电影之前每天都要吃很多东西。

根据第四段二三两句“Aami r Khan invited many coaches to train him to lose weight and took him a few months to be strong. He must eat less and drink more.”Aamir Khan邀请了很多教练训练他减肥，并花了几个月的时间让他变得强壮。

他必须少吃多饮。

根据第四段最后一句“In the end, he became the exact person the movie needs.” 最后，他成为电影中所需要的那种人。

由此可知，Aamir Khan对电影中的这个人物很认真，为了符合电影中的人物角色形象，他做出了很大的努力，为了肥胖，他每天都吃很多食物，为了使自己变得强壮起来，他改变了饮食习惯，每天做运动。

最后，他终于成功了。

按照文章叙述的顺序应为②③①④，故答案为D。

54. 判断正误题。

A项，《摔跤吧！爸爸》是发生在Aamir Khan身上的真实故事，根据第一段第二、三句话It tells a true story about an Indian man and his two daughters. His n ame’s Mahavir.可知，这是发生在Mahavir身上的真实故事。

故A项表述错误。

C项，Aamir Khan为了呈现演好自己的角色，进行了很辛苦的训练，根据第四段大意可知，Aamir Khan为了回到电影人物所需要的健壮的壮年形象，在身体训练上付出了很多的汗水。

故C项表述正确。

D项，Aamir Khan尝试着去把这个电影角色演绎得很完美，根据第二段第三句话Aamir Khan was very serious about his character and he tried to make this character close to the true story 可知，Aamir Khan十分认真地对待这个角色，他尽他所能使这个角色能够更加贴近原故事。

故D项表述正确。

答案选A。

On that day, she jumped into the sea without any hesitation and swam towards the opposite bank.
In the journey, she faced heavy fog, heavy rain and heavy waves. Though she was very tired, she carried on swimming.
But in the end, she gave up. And what she didn't know at the moment she gave up was that the opposite bank was only I mile away.
Later people asked her about the reason. And she said:"The reason why I gave up is that I could not see the destination which I was so close to."

点睛：词义猜测题是阅读理解中常见的一种题型，所猜测词汇可以是生词，也可以是熟词新义，还可以是人称代词的指代内容。

词义猜测题主要考查考生根据上下文推测词义和语义的能力，突出考查对语境的分析和把握能力。

常见的猜词法有：(1)利用上下文语境。

猜测任何词义都离不开上下文，所以要借助上下文对需要猜测的词或短语进行合乎逻辑的推测。

(2)利用定义或解释性的线索。

阅读文章中的有些生词往往在其后会有对该词进行解释说明的短语或句子，利用它们猜词义较容易 (3)利用文章的逻辑关系答题。

如并列、对比、因果、转折关系等。

这些逻辑关系往往通过一些相应的词或短语表达出来，如but, or, however, so, because等。

(4)利用构词法知识答题。

熟记一些前缀、后缀所表达的意思，不仅可以扩大词汇量，而且帮助我们猜测词义。

第2小题考查的是人称代词的指代内容，就是利用第1种解题方法。

11.【2018年江苏省连云港市】I spent a lot of time making a large shelf for my cave. I found a big tree and chopped it down. This took three days. Then, I chopped off the branches. This took another two days. After that, I chopped the wood away from one side, and then from the other side. This took more than one month. Altogether it took forty-two days. In England, two men with a good saw could have made six of these shelves from that tree in half a day.
I also spent a lot of time looking after my corn and rice crops. I had to protect them from wild animals and birds, so I made a fence around them. I shot some of the birds and hung them up near thecorn. After that, all the other birds stayed away. I used one of the old swords I had taken from the ship to cut down the corn when it was ready. I was very proud of my corn and rice and worked hard to increase my crops. A few years later, I would have enough corn to make bread. I had to find a way to grind the corn into flour, but the rocks on the island were not hard enough.
I finally discovered that a very hard piece of wood would do. I used some cloth to separate the meal from the husks. Not having anoven, I made some square pots with lids and covered them with hot ashes. This baked the dough, and I had bread! I made my cave bigger again to hold the corn and flour so that I could make bread whenever I needed to.
I sometimes wondered how I could get to the land which was visible from the other side of the island. I went to the ship’s boat t hat was blown onto the beach in the shipwreck. However, I could not get it to the water. It was too heavy. I tried many different ways of doing it, but none of them were successful.
