Looking for something entertaining to do？Check out some awesome festivals around the world.
Koninginnedag－The Netherlands
Koninginnedag or Queen's Day is a national holiday in the Kingdom of the Netherlands.Although the birthday of the current Queen，Beatrix，is actually during the winter，she has celebrated it on April 30th，the country's official “Queen's Day”since 1949.Orange is the national color，and the streets become a sea of feather boas(围巾)and body paint as crowds gather in the plazas and on boats in the rivers.Amsterdam is the center of this outdoor party，with many live music events，but nearly every town is alive with orange on this day.
Thai Elephant Day－Thailand
Thai Elephant Day is a national holiday in Thailand.Thai Elephant Day has been celebrated on March 13th of every year since 1998.Because the elephant is the national animal of Thailand，it is highly respected and treasured.During the festivals elephants are honored during a ceremony in which they are fed bananas，other fruit，and sugarcane.
The Fire Festival－Shetland
On the last Tuesday in January the entire town of Lerwick，Shetland goes up in flames.At the festival，you'll find yourself sitting，dancing，or stumbling around the largest bonfire you've ever seen in your life.The festival lasts only one day but takes the entire year to plan.Be prepared for an evening of singing，dancing，and fastpaced activity，and don't worry about making it to work the next day－it's a national holiday!
Holi－India
Holi，the Festival of Colors，is a Hindu celebration full of joy and one of India's most important holidays.On the day of the last full moon of the lunar month，usually late February or early March，the air is full of bright­colored powder.The festival is celebrated differently throughout the country，with bonfires and music，but the cheerful spirit is common throughout Hindu communities around the world.

Every summer there are a few reports of shark attacks.Here are the facts：sharks live in the water，and when people go into the water they become a potential food source for sharks.Sharks attack humans for the fact that they are trying to survive.Still，shark attacks are not common，and if you head to the beach your chances of getting eaten aren't very high.Most sharks，especially those close to shore，aren't big enough to threaten you.
The whale shark is the largest shark in the world at a maximum length of around fifty feet.However，the whale shark is a filter feeder(滤食动物)，and unless you are plankton(浮游生物)，you have nothing to fear from it.
Sharks are dangerous animals，and if you decide to go into the water you are entering their area.But the sad truth is that sharks have far more to fear from humans than we do from them.Illegal fishing practices have decreased the shark populations around the world，and few species go unscathed．When a shark attacks a human it is only trying to survive，but humans have destroyed the shark populations for no reason other than greed.As much as you may fear sharks，they are a very important part of the natural world.With proper education and conservation efforts many species can come back，but only if enough people are interested in making a difference.
A healthy fear of sharks or any wild animal is a good thing.It reminds us of our place in the world，and maybe it keeps us a little more humble.And，remember，the surest way to avoid a shark attack is to stay out of the water!
【语篇解读】文章主要讲的是目前人类和鲨鱼之间的关系，鲨鱼袭击人类，它们是为了生存，但人类有办法避免此类事件的发生。

5．Sharks attack humans every summer mainly because ．
A．they want to drive humans away
B．they treat humans as a food source
C．they treat humans as dangerous enemies
D．they become strong after attacking humans
【解析】细节理解题。

根据文章第一段的“when people go into the water they become a potential food source for sharks”和“Sharks attack humans for the fact that they are trying to survive”这两句话可知，鲨鱼袭击人类，是因为它们把人类当作食物，所以答案选B项。

【答案】 B
6．What does the underlined word “unscathed”in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Uninjured. B．Extinct.
C．Popular. D．Unexpected.
【解析】词义猜测题。

根据文章第三段的“Illegal fishing practices have decreased the shark populations around the world”可推测，很少有物种没有受到伤害，“unscathed”意为“未受伤害的，未受损伤的”，与A项同义，所以答案选A。

【答案】 A
7．It is implied in the last paragraph that ．
A．humans should stop killing any wild animal
B．humans should take good care of all wild animals
C．humans should live in harmony with wild animals
D．humans should not fear sharks or any other kind of wild animal
【解析】推理判断题。

根据文章最后一段的内容可知，人类对鲨鱼及其他野生动物常常感到恐惧，这对野生动物的保护是有好处的，最起码人类不敢贸然行动，由此可推断人类应与野生动物和谐相处，所以答案选C。

【答案】 C
8．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Protective efforts haven't made any difference so far.
B．Humans have more to fear from sharks than they do from us.
C．The shark populations have decreased greatly because of human greed.
D．Humans have become greedier ever since sharks began to attack humans.
【解析】推理判断题。

根据文章第三段的“When a shark...other than greed.”可知，因为人类的贪婪，鲨鱼的数量在急剧减少，所以答案选C。

【答案】 C
C
An Australian company，Smart Car Technologies，has developed a
system that lets drivers know when they're speeding.When the
technology becomes commercially available，it could help lead­footed
drivers avoid tickets and also save lives.The company that developed
the product hopes to convince Australian government agencies to put
the technology into use in their automobile fleets.
The product，called Speed Alert，links real­time location data and speed obtained with the help of GPS to a database of posted speed limits stored in a driver's PDA or programmable mobile phone.The setup of the product does not need to be hooked up to a car's speedometer.In fact，it is entirely portable.It will also work with newer phones and PDAs that have built­in GPS receivers.If a driver exceeds the speed
limit，the speed is shown and an alert sounds.
Michael Paine，an Australian vehicle design engineer and traffic safety consultant，was hired to analyze the product.He told Live Science that his colleagues in the road safety field are “very enthusiastic”about what they're now calling “intelligent speed alert”．Other research，according to Paine，shows that 40 percent of all traffic deaths involve speeding.There is also a potentially controversial future use：“Since t he system is so portable，it would be easy to make it a requirement for teenage drivers to always use a speed alert device when driving，”Paine said.“The system even has the capability to record speeding violations，so parents can monitor their teenage drivers.”
The product will soon go on sale in Sydney.
9．What's the purpose of the new product?
A．To inform us of the new car system.
B．To introduce some improvement in cars.
C．To limit certain drivers to safe driving.
D．To popularize the built­in car system.
【解析】推理判断题。

文中第一段提到这个系统能够帮助驾驶员降低速度减少收到罚单的几率并能够保证司机的驾驶安全。

根据这些分析我们可以发现C项正确。

其余几项说明的不是这个新产品的目的。

而是这个文章的目的。

【答案】 C
10．The second paragraph mainly talks about ．
A．the project of the built­in product
B．why the system becomes popular
C．the functions of GPS in cars
D．how the product is programmed
【解析】段落大意题。

通读第二段我们可知该段主要讲述了这种产品的运行程序。

【答案】 D
11．Which of the following is TRUE of Speed Alert according to Michael Paine?
A．Most of the traffic deaths can be avoided.
B．Speeding violations can be easily found out.
C．The system will excite some teenage drivers.
D．The product will not be available for adults.
【解析】推理判断题。

文章最后一段提到的Michael Paine的看法。

A项的说法是错误的。

C项没有根据，文中仅提到了这个产品对teenagers的限制。

D项说法错误。

故文中
提到teenagers的超速驾驶将会被记录下来，故B项正确。

【答案】 B
12．What can be the best title of the passage?
A．Speed Alert and Its Future Use.
B．Progress in Car­making Science.
C．Warning for Adventurous Drivers.
D．New In­Car Device against Speeding.
【解析】标题归纳题。

本文介绍限制汽车超速的装置，因此选D。

A项指代不清，没有明确指出是汽车。

B、C项过于片面。

【答案】 D
D
(2016·全国甲卷)A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding—undoubtedly first­rate photo­journalism—if they had been made last week.In fact，they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海难), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.
The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian­built three­master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all，to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled (雪橇) across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.
As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well­researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott's last journey，completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world's imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton, a onetime British merchant­navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic，was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。

1914年到1916年间，一群海员和科学家踏上了南极探险之路。

结果他们在回来的路上发生海难，其中一个摄影师在临死之前拍摄了大量的照片，并把照片封存在破损的木船的冰块箱里。

通过这些照片我们可以了解到那次不太成功的探险经历。

13．What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?
A．They were made last week.
B．They showed undersea sceneries.
C．They were found by a cameraman.
D．They recorded a disastrous adventure.
【解析】细节理解题。

由题干中的the photos taken by Hurley定位到文章第二段开头。

该段说这些照片即使是上个星期拍的也堪称佳作，故A项错误；该段中还说照片是在一次海难之后拍的，故D项正确；文章没有说拍摄的是海底景观，故B项错误；拍摄者是摄影师，但没有说是一名摄影师发现了这些照片，故C项错误。

【答案】 D
14．Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?
A．Frank Hurley.
B．Ernest Shackleton.
C．Robert Falcon Scott.
D．Caroline Alexander.
【解析】推理判断题。

由题干中的“第一个到达南极”这条信息定位到第三段。

被发现的照片所展示的这次旅行是为了获得比Robert Falcon Scott船长先前的探险更大的收获，该船长在1912年就到达了南极。

由此推断Robert Falcon Scott是最先到达南极的人，故选C项。

【答案】 C
15．What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?
A．Artistic creation.
B．Scientific research.
C．Money making.
D．Treasure hunting.
【解析】细节理解题。

题干的Alexander在最后一段出现，the 1914 voyage指本文谈到的Endurance这艘船的探险，该段开头说，这个作家在她的小说The Endurance中说，在那时，探险就已经是纯商业活动(a thoroughly commercial effort)了，因此1914年航行的目的是赚钱(money making)，故选C项。

A项“艺术创作”，B项“科学调研”，D项“寻宝”，均未体现。

【答案】 C

Ⅲ.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)
I had worried myself sick over Simon's mother coming to see me.I was a new 21 ，
and I gave an honest account of the students' work.In Simon's case，the grades were awfully low.He couldn't read his own handwriting. 22 he was a bright student.He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension.His work in no way reflected his 23 ．
So when Simon's mother entered the room，my palms(手掌心)were sweating.I was completely 24 for her kisses on both my cheeks.“I came to thank you，”she said，surprising me beyond speech. 25 me，Simon had become a different person.He talked of how he 26 me，he had began to make friends，and for the first time in his twelve years，he had 27 spent an afternoon at friend's house.She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the 28 I had nurtured(培养)in her son.She kissed me again and left.
I sat，stunned(惊呆)，for about half an hour， 29 what had just happened.How did I make such a life­changing difference to that boy without 30 knowing it？What I finally came to 31 was one day，several months before，when some students were 32 reports in the front of the class，Jeanne spoke 33 ，and to encourage her to raise her voice，I had said，“Speak up.Simon's the expert on this.He is the 34 one you have to convince，and he can't hear you in the 35 of the room.”That was it.From that day on，Simon had sat up straighter，paid more attention， 36 more，and became happy.And it was all because he 37 to be the last kid in the last row.The boy who most needed 38 was the one who took the last seat that day.
It taught me the most 39 lesson over the years of my teaching career，and I'm thankful that it came 40 and positively.A small kindness can indeed make a difference.
21．A.cleaner B．reporter
C．teacher D．monitor
【解析】从下一句中的关键词“students”可得出对应的身份“teacher”。

故选C。

【答案】 C
22．A.Or B．And
C．So D．But
【解析】空格前说Simon的成绩很差，阅读不行；空格之后说，他是一个聪明的孩子。

句意上构成转折关系。

故选D。

【答案】 D
23．A.abilities B．courage
C．feelings D．dream
【解析】根据上文说他的思维能达到成人的深度，并未在他糟糕的学业表现上被体现出来。

综合四个选项的语义：ability“能力”；courage“勇气”；feeling“感觉”；dream“梦想”，可得“思维的深度”应该是能力的一种。

故选A。

【答案】 A
24．A.desperate B．responsible
C．unsuitable D．unprepared
【解析】从下文的surprising可看出，无论是kiss还是thanks都是出乎意料，作者是没有思想准备的。

故选D。

【答案】 D
25．A.In spite of B．Because of
C．Apart from D．As for
【解析】从后文Simon的改变可知，是因为这位新教师对Simon产生了一定的影响。

in spite of“不管，尽管”；because of“因为”；apart from“除了”；as for“至于”。

故选B。

【答案】 B
26．A.envied B．loved
C．pleased D．criticized
【解析】下文叙述的是Simon往好的一方面转变，可知他对这位新教师是抱有一种爱戴的情绪。

四个选项中只有“love”符合语境。

envy“羡慕，嫉妒”；please“使……高兴，满意”；criticize“批判，批评”。

故选B。

【答案】 B
27．A.gradually B．constantly
C．obviously D．recently
【解析】重点在于这个近期的转变——开始交朋友，到朋友家去玩，以显示出新老师对他近期产生的影响。

gradually体现一个缓慢长期的变化；constantly表示一种经常的常态；obviously意为“明显地”。

所以综合语义，用recently“近期的，最近的”符合语意。

故选D。

【答案】 D
28．A.self­doubt B．self­respect
C．self­pity D．self­defence
【解析】self­doubt“自我怀疑”；self­respect“自尊”；self­pity“自怜”；self­defence“自御”。

根据文章可知Simon的转变是好的，所以用四个词中唯一的正面词汇。

故选B。

【答案】 B
29．A.imagining B．observing
C．regretting D．wondering
【解析】从空格后面一句话可知，前面的动作是一个思索的过程。

imagine“想象”；observe“观察，遵守”；regret“遗憾，后悔”。

wonder“想知道”，符合语境。

【答案】 D
30．A.even B．also
C．always D．still
【解析】通过语意判断，这位新老师在甚至连自己都没有注意到的情况下改变了Simon的态度，所以用even符合句意。

故选A。

【答案】 A
31．A.remember B．expect
C．believe D．accept
【解析】后文是对过去事件的回顾，所以用remember。

故选A。

【答案】 A
32．A.writing B．reviewing
C．giving D．editing
【解析】老师让学生在教师前面做报告。

通过“speak up”可知是进行口头的报告，而不是写/复习/编辑报告。

故选C。

【答案】 C
33．A.repeatedly B．quietly
C．quickly D．firmly
【解析】通过下文“speak up”可知声音很轻。

故选B。

【答案】 B
34．A.lucky B．lonely
C．likely D．only
【解析】根据语意可知：Simon是唯一一个你需要说服的人。

lucky“幸运的”；lonely“孤独的”；likely“有可能的”；only“只有”。

故选D。

【答案】 D
35．A.entrance B．middle
C．back D．front
【解析】根据“some students were reports in the front of the class”可知，老师是要最后一排的同学也能听见。

故选C。

【答案】 C
36．A.smiled B．slept
C．shouted D．quarreled
【解析】根据前后语意“sat up straighter，paid more attention， more，and became happy.坐得更直，注意力更集中，变得开心”，可知都是正面词汇，以表示Simon 好的转变。

故选A。

【答案】 A
37．A.intended B．pretended
C．happened D．refused
【解析】intend to“打算做，想做”；pretend to do“假装做某事”；happen to“恰巧是”；refuse to“拒绝做某事”。

Simon的这一切改变完全是因为在那节课上，我叫了最后一排学生的名字，而他恰巧是坐在最后一排。

故选C。

【答案】 C
38．A.praise B．change
C．thanks D．visits
【解析】根据上文的故事“Simon's the expert on this.”，可知这是一种表扬，以此揭示文章主旨：最需要表扬的学生就是坐在最后排的学生。

故选A。

【答案】 A
39．A.difficult B．painful
C．enjoyable D．valuable
【解析】新老师这次无心插柳柳成荫的举动是她教师生涯中的宝贵一课。

故选D。

【答案】 D
