第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分)AHoney from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper—a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax(蜂蜡) in the beehives(蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.21. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?A. It's small in size.B. It's hidden in trees.C. It's covered with wax.D. It's hard to recognize.22. What do the words "the follower" in paragraph 2 refer to?A. A bee.B. A bird.C. A honey seeker.D. A beekeeper.23. The honey guide is special in the way .A. it gets its foodB. it goes to churchC. it sings in the forestD. it reaches into bees' nests24. What can be the best title for the text?A. Wild BeeB. Wax and HoneyC. Beekeeping in AfricaD. Honey—Lover's HelperBWhen my students ask me why I live in a tiny house, they ask it in light of all the “sacrifices(牺牲)”I an making. They know that I have moved from a large apartment in the city to a small custom-built home on wheels in the backyard woods. They know I forego running water, Internet connection, sewage(下水道), and reliable phone reception.However, it was possible for me to be truly happy while living with very few material things. My body responded well, in health, fitness and mood, to a schedule more consistent(一致的)with the natural day and night cycle. Observing the daily sunset, hosting friends for days at a time, reading, writing letters to my families and friends and exploring natural wonders in my spare time all were free and invaluable experiences.What was necessary to my survival proved to be a rather short list-healthy food, clean and drinkable water, heat source, weather-protecting shelter, weather-suitable clothing, equally important friends and mental and physical stimulations(刺激).When I returned to life in the US, I couldn’t help but sense a deep and uneasy belief that life suddenly changed. I felt disconnected with many things- the earth, others, my food source, my waste disposal, the natural cycle of my body and the productive interests. These are the things I once cared for but now find myself too busy to enjoy. How was it that I was earning literally 40 times my Peace Corps salary and was less healthy, satisfied and intentional in my daily schedule? I found myuself asking-what is it to be rich anyway? Therefore, last August I let go of most of my possessions and moved into a tiny house on wheels because I wanted to see if I could live a more enjoyable lifestyle. So far so good. No inconvenience has made up for the many positive benefits that continue to come from this change in lifestyle. I believe that I have made the right decision.25. What does the underlined word “forego” in the first paragraph probably mean?A. Give away.B. Take along.C. Care for.D. Go after.26. What interested the author most when living in the tiny house?A. The natural living schedule.B. Busy and invaluable experiences.C. The happiness of the simple life.D. The very few material possessions.27. What did the author feel when he returned to the US?A. He was behind the times.B. He wouldn’t enjoy the modern life.C. He was rich enough to enjoy the city life.D. He was disconnected with the outside world.CSingapore is building an airport where indoor trees, waterfalls and a ‘rain vortex’ sit alongside check-in queues, waiting rooms and baggage carousels(传送带).Where once sat a car park, there will soon be thousands of trees and plants across 22,000 sq metres of landscaped indoor parklands. This will be joined by a 40m-high indoor waterfall, expected to be the world’s tallest. These are the plans for the new 3.5 hectare ‘Jewel’ development at Singapore’s Changi Airport, scheduled to open in 2018; a five-storey, 134,000 square metre complex, mixing natural outdoor plants with modern airport facilities. “The aim behind the introduction of such lush(茂盛的) landscaping is purely to provide all visitors with a memorable experience, one where they are surrounded by nature and greenery,”says Philip Yim, Chief Executive Officer of Jewel Changi Airport Development.Promised sustainability(持续性)measures include “extensive usage of photovoltaic panels(光电板)”to produce renewable energy, as well as encouraging the use of natural lighting and a “high efficiency” air-conditioning system.The indoor waterfall, named the “Rain Vortex”, will make use of special lighting effects to change at night into what is promised to be a dramatic light and sound sho w. “The Rain Vortex is one example of how sustainable design plays an important role in the planning of the attraction,” says Yim. ‘In the event of a rain storm, the power of the rain water will flow naturally through the oculus. The excess rain water collected will be used for irrigation of the landscaping at Jewel.’Yim quotes the popular reputation Singapore enjoys as “the garden city”, where greenery is recognised as an essential part of the urban landscape, an attractive image which clearly inspires Je wel’s design.However, it remains to be seen whether, beyond the aesthetic (审美的) appeal, Jewel can add genuine environmental things to something as un-environmental as an international airport.28. What can we learn about the “jewel” development Singapore’s change Airport?A. It is being built on an old car park at present.B. It has been planned and is being built.C. It will be the world’s tallest airport.D. Acts of kindness can make a difference.29. To keep the airport developing sustainably, it is advised to .A. use no electric lightsB. use more air-conditionersC. make full use of natural waterD. try to produce renewable energy30. What can we infer about the Rain Vortex?A. It can transform into a dramatic show at anytime.B. Its design will be a great success environmentally.C. It will produce water to irrigate plants.D. A rain storm may make it look prettier.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。
About 85 percent of the world are right-handed. Of the remaining 15 percent, most are left-handed with a small number, about one in 100, being able to use either hand. Why? 36 Old Theories37 Even in the early mid-20th century, natural left-handers were taught to use their right hand anyway. Such theories have been denied by the scientific community.GeneticsThe leading theories regarding why some people are right-handed or left-handed have something to do with genetics. Geneticists believe that natural selection and human activities over time have favored the gene for right handedness. They attribute the difference to two different genes. The D gene produces right-handed people with the C gene are right-handers, some are left-handers and some are either.BiologyThe biological theory relies on the different abilities of different areas of the brain. __38 Others argue that some people do use the right side for language but this theory wouldn’t explain why there are so few left-handers.The ShieldSome have put forward the idea that left-handedness relates to where a soldier holds his shield. Because the heart is on the left side of the body, a soldier who held his shield with his lefthand would be better protected. __39__CreativitySome have claimed that left-handers are more creative than right-handers, pointing to a long list of famous left-handers including Leonardo Da Vinci and Albert Einstein as examples. __40__ Critics, however, point out that there are also many right-handed creative people and that there are many photos showing Einstein drawing with his right hand.A. There is not enough evidence yet to answer the question.B. Because the left side of the brain handles language in most people, most peoplewould be right-handed.C. If this is true, it might help lead to answers.D. Others point out that according to cave paintings, most were right-handersbefore humans started using shields.E. Left-handedness used to be seen as a sign of brain damage.F. However, people who suffer some type of injury or have a disability in one handfrequently learn to use the other.G. Left-handed people tend to be better at problem-solving skills and have larger vocabularies than the average.第三部分英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解When I was a kid, I was the girl who kept the training wheels on my bike as long as possible. Even my younger sister had got rid of them much earlier than me. But as I began to grow older, this changed.All this happened on the Bike Safety Day. It is supposed to be a fun day at school when all of us kids bring our bikes to school and the school provides us with the opportunity to ride outside and learn proper bike safety. Sounds like fun, right? No. In fact, it caused me to panic. What was I going to say when my friends asked me about my training wheels?With the pressure of everyone seeing my training wheels, I determined to let them go. This was the first big change I'd ever made on my own.I went to my parents and told them all about my dilemma. They were more than happy to help. We went outside and got my bike. Instead of running away and hiding behind, I stood in front of my bike and took great pride in my decision as my dad removed the training wheels.I got on and steadied myself. My heart raced but my feet and hands were calm. My dad started to push before my feet even moved and suddenly I was off. The fear faded away and a relaxed mind came into its place. It was crazy to think how quickly I learned something that took so long for me to even try!My confidence soared. This was going to be the start of a brand new world for me. My accomplishment would carry me forth to new goals and wins. I realized that if I set my mind to something, I could achieve it.(1)What does the school expect the students to do on Bike Safety Day?A. Have their bikes checked.B. Ride outside for fun.C. Acquire bike safety skills.D. Remove the training wheels.(2)What does the underlined word "them" (in Paragraph 3)refer to?A. The author's friends.B. The author's parents.C. The safety problems.D. The training wheels.(3)What happened when the author finally rode without the training wheels?A.She felt extremely embarrassed.B.Everything turned out to be easy.C.She ended up flat on the ground.D.Her sisters followed her example.(4)What does the author think is necessary for her to achieve a goal?A.Patience.B.Determination.C.Pressure.D.Concentration.【答案】(1)C(2)D(3)B(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者学习骑自行车的故事,学会了骑自行车让作者拥有了自信,也让作者意识到决心的重要性。

This will be joined by a 40m-high indoor waterfall, expected to be the world’s tallest. These are the plans for the new 3.5 hectare ‘Jewel’ development at Singapore’s Changi Airport, scheduled to ope n in 2018; a five-storey, 134,000 square metre complex, mixing natural outdoor plants with modern airport facilities. “The aim behind the introduction of such lush(茂盛的) landscaping is purely to provide all visitors with a memorable experience, one where they are surrounded by nature and greenery,”says Philip Yim, Chief Executive Officer of Jewel Changi Airport Development.Promised sustainability(持续性)measures include “extensive usageof photovoltaic panels(光电板)”to produce renewable energy, as well as enco uraging the use of natural lighting and a “high efficiency” air-conditioning system.The indoor waterfall, named the “Rain Vortex”, will make use of special lighting effects to change at night into what is promised to be a dramatic light and sound sho w. “The Rain Vortex is one example of how sustainable design plays an important role in the planning of the attraction,” says Yim. ‘In the event of a rain storm, the power of the rain water will flow naturally through the oculus. The excess rain water collec ted will be used for irrigation of the landscaping at Jewel.’Yim quotes the popular reputation Singapore enjoys as “the garden city”, where greenery is recognised as an essential part of the urban landscape, an attractive image which clearly inspires Je wel’s design.However, it remains to be seen whether, beyond the aesthetic (审美的) appeal, Jewel can add genuine environmental things to something as un-environmental as an international airport.28.
