并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。

A
An American pilot who made an emergency landing Tuesday after the plane lost an engine is being praised for her “nerves of steel.” The pilot, Tammie Jo Schults, was flying a Southwest Airlines plane from New York City to Dallas, Texas, when the engine blew and broke apart. She landed the plane safely in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Sharp pieces of the engine struck and broke one of the plane’s windows. One passenger died after being partly sucked out of the plane. That passenger, Jennifer Riordan, was sitting next to the window that broke. Seven other people were hurt.
Schults, who is 56 years old, took the plane into a fast descent（降落）. Passengers used oxygen masks and prepared for the force of landing. Schults’ clear thinking during a high- pressure situation helped save many lives. Schults is familiar with high-pressure situations. She got her first flying experience in the United States Navy, touching down fighter planes at speeds of 240 kilometers per hour.
She was one of the first female fighter pilots in the Navy.
As the Reuters news agency reports, Schults wanted to become a pilot from a young age. In a story on the fighter plane blog , she said she tried to attend an aviation（航空）career day at her high school. But she was told they did not accept girls. After serving in the Navy, Schults joined Southwest Airlines as a pilot. She started working there in 1993.
On Tuesday, Schults calmly told air traffic control that part of her plane was missing, and that she would need emergency workers on the ground after she landed. Passengers praised Schults for being calm and caring in an extremely difficult situation. One passenger, Diana McBride Self, wrote on Facebook, “Tammie Jo Schults, the pilot came back to speak to each of us personally. This is a true American Hero...A huge thank you for her knowledge, guidance and bravery …”
21. Which of the following might be the title of the passage?
A. What Avoids the Engine Burst.
B. How to Become a Female Pilot.
C. A Dangerous Flight by a Female Pilot.
D. A Female Pilot Praised for Her Iron Will.
22. What plays most important role in Schults’ successf ul landing the plane?
A. Her good preparations for the oxygen masks.
B. Her former skills and experience in the Navy.
C. Her story on the fighter plane blog F—.
D. Passengers’ perfect cooperation and help.
23. How long has Schults worked for the Southwest Airlines so far?
A. For more than 25 years.
B. For less than 20 years.
C. For more than 30 years.
D. For less than 15 years.
24. Which of following might be the order of the event?
a. Schults calmly told air traffic control.
b. The plane landed safely in Philadelphia.
c. Part of the plane was missing.
d. Schults comforted each passenger.
A. c, a, d, b
B. c, d, a, b
C. c, a, b, d
D. a, c, b, d
【答案】21. D 22. B 23. A 24. C
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇报道，讲述的是美国女飞行员Schults在飞机引擎出故障后紧急迫降，她因“钢铁般的意志”而受到称赞。

【21题详解】
主旨大意题。

第一段首句An American pilot who made an emergency landing Tuesday after the plane lost an engine is being praised for her “nerves of steel.”点明了本文主题，主要讲述的是美国女飞行员Schults 在飞机引擎出故障后紧急迫降，她因“钢铁般的意志”而受到称赞。

所以D项A Female Pilot Praised for Her Iron Will.表达了此意，适合作为文章标题。

故选D.
【22题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第二段Schults’ clear thinking during a high- pressure situation helped save many lives. Schults is familiar with high-pressure situations. She got her first flying experience in the United States Navy, touching down fighter planes at speeds of 240 kilometers per hour. She was one of the first female fighter pilots in the Navy.可知Schults在高压环境下的清晰思考，在美国海军练就的高超技术使迫降成功。

故选B.
【23题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第三段最后After serving in the Navy, Schults joined Southwest Airlines as a pilot. She started working there in 1993.可知Schults在1993年加入西南航空公司，在那已经工作了25年，故选A. 【24题详解】
细节理解题。

根据最后一段On Tuesday, Schults calmly told air traffic control that part of her plane was missing, and that she would need emergency workers on the ground after she landed.和Tammie Jo Schults, the pilot came back to speak to each of us personally.第一段when the engine blew and broke apart. She landed the plane safely in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.可知事件发生的经过：首先是飞机发动机出故障，Schults平静地联系空中交通管制需要帮助，然后飞机平安迫降，最后Schults安慰每一位乘客。

故选C.
【点睛】概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。

本文是一篇报道，往往文章开头就点明主要内容。

小题1第一段首句An American pilot who made an emergency landing Tuesday after the plane lost an engine is being praised for her “nerves of steel.”点明了本文主题，主要讲述的是美国女飞行员Schults在飞机失去引擎后紧急迫降，她因“钢铁般的意志”而受到称赞。

所以D项A Female Pilot Praised for Her Iron Will.表达了此意，适合作为文章标题。

B
When you go to the doctor, you receive a diagnosis（诊断）and a treatment. However, with the continued
use of technology in healthcare, the process of diagnosing and treating patients has been changing.
Artificial Intelligence（AI）can help doctors analyze a patient’s symptoms and offer the best treatment. With new advancements in medical technology, it makes receiving medical care faster and more accurate. Technology companies provide the data analyzing tools that are necessary to analyze the efficiency of the healthcare system, which makes the care better and more efficient and improves the quality of care. Technology is also being used to help patients achieve their health goals as well as help patients when doctors are not present. Patients can rely on apps, trackers, and programs to remind them to have themselves checked, track their symptoms or call for help.
In the United States, the creation of AI technology has done better than that of other countries. However, compared to some countries like Canada in using AI into the healthcare system, the United States has bungled. The reality is that AI is not used in medical care because of the high costs and the structure of insurance. It is the private healthcare system that puts all the costs on consumers of healthcare.
Undoubtedly, using more technology into healthcare can be better for the system. It can improve efficiency, limit errors, and cut down waiting time. But the high cost of creating this technology can make it difficult to provide service in every hospital and healthcare clinic in the United States. It also changes the practice of medicine, making it less personal and more about the technology. Now, doctors wouldn’t have to rely on their own knowledge and skill but could turn to robots and computers for help or use better equipment to help them perform a procedure.
As the medical field continues to change, so will the technology that is used in the medical field, making receiving medical care a highly computerized process that could improve the health of the population.
25. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Technology is changing healthcare.
B. Technology makes diagnosis more accurate.
C. Technology makes the work of doctors more relaxing.
D. Technology brings convenience to patients and doctors.
26. What’s the result of using AI in the healthcare system?
A. It brings great profits to the hospital.
B. It can perform an operation on patients alone.
C. It can change the traditional way of hospital management.
D. It can allow patients to check themselves without the help of doctors.
27. The underlined word “bungled” can be replaced by ““.
A. agreed
B. changed
C. failed
D. succeeded
28. What can using technology in healthcare bring to doctors?
A. It is difficult for them to operate it.
B. It makes their jobs much more important.
C. It will make them lose their jobs very soon.
D. It makes them rely less on their knowledge and skill.
【答案】25. A 26. D 27. C 28. D
【解析】

细节理解题。

根据第四段Now, doctors wouldn’t have to rely on their own knowledge and skill but could turn to robots and computers for help or use better equipment to help them perform a procedure.可知医疗上使用技术，医生不必依赖自己的知识和技能，但可以求助于机器人和电脑，或者使用更好的设备帮助他们进行手术。

故选D.
【点睛】词义猜测题要根据词、词组、句子所在的语境上下文来判断其意义。

因此熟练掌握一些猜词技巧是做好这
类题的关键。

下面结合近几年高考试题，对词义猜测的技巧加以解读。

1.根据定义或上下文解释进行猜测
有时短文中出现一个需要猜测其意义的词或短语，下面接着出现其定义或解释，这就是判断该词或短语意义的主要依据。

例如：It will be very hard but also very brittle—that is, it will break easily.从后面that is(也就是说)的解释中我们可以了解到brittle 是“脆”的意思。

2.根据同位关系进行猜测
阅读中出现的难词有时后面紧跟一个同位语，对前面的词进行解释，这时可利用同位关系对前面或后面的词义或句意进行猜测。

例如：The “Chunnel”, a tunnel(隧道) connecting England and France, is now complete.此句中a tunnel connecting England and France是Chunnel的同位语。

因此，The “Chunnel”就是英法之间的海底隧道。

3.根据构词法(前缀、后缀、复合、派生等)进行猜测
在英语中，有很多词可以在前面加前缀，在后面加后缀，从而构成一个词，乍看起来，这个词可能是新词，但掌握了一定的构词知识，就不难猜出它的词义。

例如：“Our parties are aimed for children 2 to 10,” Anaclerio said, “and they’re very interactive and creative in that they built a sense of drama based on a subject.”文中interactive是由前缀inter-(相互的)和active(活动的，活跃的)而构成的，同时根据上下文的意思可以判断，该词的含义应是“互动的”。

4.根据转折或对比关系进行猜测
根据上下句的连接词，如but, however, otherwise等就可以看到前后句在意义上的差别，从而依据某一句的含义，来确定另一句的含义。

另外，分号也可以表示转折、对比或不相干的意义。

例如：A child’s birthday party doesn’t have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun.从前后两句的意思可以看出，hassle和a basket of fun肯定是近乎相反的意义。

所以不难判断hassle的意思是“困难，麻烦”。

C
“Anywhere they play in Bangkok, I’ll be there,” said Warin Nithihiranyakul, 73, a dedicated fan of the Sai Yong Hong Chinese Opera troupe（剧团）for more than 10 years. While waiting for his friends to arrive, he helps out by starting to set up plastic red chairs for the audience to watch the evening’s performance in an area just south of Bangkok’s Chinatown. A devotee of 11 years, Wandee Tengyodwanich, 62, says that Sai Yong Hong is the best Chinese opera in Thailand because it invests in very splendid costumes. She and her friends go to see the group a couple of times a year. They eat and catch up as they recall the first time they saw Chinese opera as children.
They are part of a shrinking community of people that has formed around Chinese opera in Thailand.
They are preserving a cornerstone of culture and heritage（遗产）dating to the seventh-century Tang Dynasty, making it one of the oldest dramatic art forms in the world. Like so much of Chinese opera throughout the world, the performances are a product of a large Chinese migration. Sai Yong Hong is one of about 20 Chinese opera troupes in Thailand. The audience consists mostly of older Thai-Chinese adults, some of whom take their grandchildren to connect with a cultural memory that has been passed down for generations.
Chinese migration to Thailand can be traced to the 13th century. Today about 14 percent of the population is ethnically（人种上）Chinese, making Thailand the home of one of the world’s largest Chinese communities outside China.
For many of the actors, the stage is home. Women could not even touch the shrine（神龛）, only men were allowed; now the whole industry has changed. As the community ages and audiences decrease, there is a fear that the art will die out. Performers face uncertain futures. Mr. Tatchai, who is Chinese and Thai, has been in the industry since he was 7. He has seen the changes as well, and he said he thought the industry would continue to get sm aller but would not go away. “As long as Chinese shrines exist and people continue praying,” he said, “the Chinese opera will be here.”
29. What impressed Wandee most on Sai Yong Hong?
A. Its comfortable service.
B. Its long history.
C. Its wonderful costumes.
D. Its enormous dedicated fans.
30. It can be inferred that Chinese overseas usually .
A. basically forget their native cultures
B. try to bring oversea culture back to hometown
C. forbid their offspring to see Chinese opera
D. spread traditional dramatic arts globally
31. What’s Mr. Tatchai’s attitude on the future of the Chinese opera?
A. Pessimistic.
B. Doubtful.
C. Optimistic.
D. Neutral.
【答案】29. C 30. D 31. C
【解析】
文章介绍了中国戏剧在泰国的演出情况，受欢迎度和前景。

【29题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第一段A devotee of 11 years, Wandee Tengyodwanich, 62, says that Sai Yong Hong is the best Chinese opera in Thailand because it invests in very splendid costumes.可知Wandee认为Sai Yong

【31题详解】
细节理解题。

根据最后一段.最后一段he thought the industry would continue to get smaller but would not go away. “As long as Chinese shrines exist and people continue praying,” “th e Chinese opera will be here”.可知Mr. Tatchai认为中国戏剧行业将继续缩小，但不会消失。

只要中国的神龛还存在，人们还在祈祷，中国戏曲就会继续存在。

他是乐观的态度，故选C.
D
A while ago, people used to believe that only humans can use tools — but Jane Goodall showed that humans aren’t the only ones to do so. We’ve since f ound several species that build and use their own tools. Then, many thought that it’s our cultural and family ties that separate us from the animals. Actually, that’s not true either. Several other species, including whales, have shown important cultural behaviors.
Researchers have found that related whales returned to the same locations year after year, and decade after decade, passing the information from one generation to the next. Researchers analyzed the structure of the beluga whale society, finding that migratory culture is inherited（继承）. Furthermore, this cultural inheritance maintains the family ties of beluga whales. This cultural legacy（遗传）is so powerful that some travel as far as 6,000 kilometers each year.
“What interested us most was whether pa rticular whales returned to where they were born or grew up and if this was an inherited behavior,” said Greg O’ Corry-Crowe, Ph.D., lead author and a research professor at FAU’s Harbor Branch. “The only way that we could definitively answer these question s was to find and track close relatives from one year to the next and one decade to the next.”
Researchers also found that beluga whales exhibit an impressively broad range of vocal repertoires and acoustic systems（复杂的声音体系）which suggests that they form complex interpersonal relationships. They like to hang out in the thousands near shore during the summer when the ice melts. Eventually, researchers hope that this will not only enable us to better understand these surprisingly complex species
but also develop better ways to protect them in the face of a changing environment —the polar regions, where the beluga whales live, are extremely exposed to climate change.
“Findings from our study are expanding our understanding of how complicated non- primate（非灵长类）so cieties can be and how important culture is for the survival of these species,” said O’ Corry-Crowe. “Our findings also will influence our thinking in terms of how populations and species are going to adapt to dramatic environmental changes. There are few places where this is more urgent than in the rapidly changing polar regions.”
32. According to the passage, whales usually .
A. produce their tools
B. use their own tools
C. live near the coast
D. have their cultural ties
33. It can be inferred that migratory culture has .
A. a short and insignificant effect on beluga whales
B. inherited from the structure of beluga whale society
C. a long and far-reaching effect on beluga whales
D. attracted beluga whales to several fixed locations
34. What’s the purpose of the research?
A. To find beluga whales’ behaviors.
B. To find beluga whales’ acoustic systems.
C. To find beluga whales’ interpersonal relationships.
D. To better understand and protect beluga whales.
35. Why does O’ Corry-Crowe con sider it urgent to understand beluga whales’ adaption to their surroundings?
A. Because of the very sophisticated non-primate societies.
B. Because of the rapid environmental changes in polar regions.
C. Because of the misunderstanding of beluga whales’ mi grations.
D. Because of the too far distance for beluga whales to migrate.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. D 35. B
【解析】
