D. who
【答案】D
【解析】考查名词性从句。

试题分析：文章大意：本文为记叙文，主要阐述了一位父亲通过给儿子生日礼物的事情对儿子进行了很好的教育。

36．形容词辨析。

根据前一句“Travis laughed as he tore at the wrapping paper on his
birthday present”中的“laugh”一词可以推断出主人公面对生日礼物内心很激动。

A项表示“惊讶的”；B项表示“羞愧的”而D项是“担心的”，故选C。

37．名词辨析。

根据后面的句子“he was a great player.”可以判断出Chuck Hart是一篮球选手，故选B。

A项是“团队”之意；C项表示“教练”而D项是“游戏，比赛”，故选B。

38．副词辨析。

根据后面的句子“he was a great player”判断出其与前面的句子之间是转折关系，“尽管Hart由于他的糟糕的运动精神和声名狼藉的行为举止而备受批评，但他还算是一很好的篮球选手”，故用“Although”表示转折引导让步状语从句较为适合。

A项引导的条件状语从句，B项引导的是条件状语从句而C项通常引导原因状语从句，故选D。

39．名词辨析依据前面句子的意思，Hart的行为举止声名狼藉。

A项表示“技术”而B项是“表现”，这两项都与篮球运动有关，D项是“行动”之意，故C适合。

40．名词辨析依据前面的句子“All the guys on his team were wearing the name-brand shoes…”可以判断Travis 也是希望穿上有Hart名字的鞋子，故选A。

42．动词辨析依据后面的“his amazing work in the community”此处构成短语“be known for…”表示“因为…而有名”，B项表示“鼓励”，C项是“采纳”之意而D项是“影响”的意思。

43．动词辨析依据后面的“his heart stopped”可以判断看见鞋子并不是他自己所想要的的时候，他呆住了。

B项表示“冻住”能很好地体现Travis当时的状态。

A项表示“落下”，C项是“摇动”而D项是“折叠”的意思。

44．动词辨析依据上下文此处表达的是“鞋子买错了Travis会被其他的选手取笑的”故选C 项的“tease”表示“取笑，嘲笑”之意。

A项表示的是“质疑”之意；B项表示“注意”；D 项是“攻击”的意思。

45．情态动词辨析依据前面的“however”一词可以判断出Travis知道自己是不能把他的真实感受告诉他的爸爸，所以用“couldn’t”，故选D。

46．动词短语辨析依据上下文爸爸开车送Travis去上学，当他们到达目的地即学校的门口时的状况，此处值得是车子驶入校门前，所以用A项短语“pull up”表示“驶入，驶进”之意。

B项表示“举起；张贴”；C项的短语是“拿起，从事，占据（时间、空间）”；D项表示“出现，（声音）调高”之意。

47．副词辨析依据前面的话““Hey, Travis, wait a minute…”以及后面爸爸的话可以推断出此时爸爸说话的态度上略有迟疑，故选B项表示“犹豫地，迟疑地”比较适合。

A项表示“平静地，和平地”；C项表示“高兴地”而D项则是“自然地，本质上地”。

48．名词辨析依据前文“I saw the names of the two guys and made a(n)…”以及后面
的内容可以知道爸爸在鞋子的选择上是进行过对比的，故此处有短语“make a choice”表示在“作出选择”。

B项表示“努力”；C项是“评论”之意而D项则表示“错误”。

故选A。

49．动词辨析根据后面的文章内容可知爸爸选择给Travis生日礼物是有他自己的想法的，特别是选了他所熟悉的明星球员的鞋子来送给儿子，旨在希望Travis能学会更多做人的道理，所以此处应该用C项的“admire”表示“钦佩，喜欢”。

40．名词辨析依据下文爸爸对于Ryann较为熟悉尤其是球员在面对困难时的态度是值得分享给Travis的，所以此处选D最合适。

A项表示“危险”；B项表示“生气”；C项则是“伤心，难过”之意。

41．名词辨析此处进行上下文内容的对比尤其是“You could have acted like a kid when you didn’t get the shoes you wanted,”表示Travis本可以像个小孩子去表达对礼物的不满意，意在表达一种如同小孩一般的无理取闹但其实他没有，所以C项适合。

42．连词辨析根据上句的表达以及下文“you were polite and made the best of it.”可以看出两句话之间是明显的转折关系，故要使用but,所以选C。

43．名词辨析依据上下文可以判断出爸爸希望有一天Travis的名字也可以出现在买一双鞋子上。

此处指的主要就是人的名字故选C项适合。

A项表示“荣誉”；B项是“勇气”；D项是“信念”之意。

考点：考查记叙文
第三部分阅读理解 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
The Palm Islands are the largest artificial islands in the world and are under construction in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. They are being developed as tourist, leisure, and residential resorts, and will increase the coastline of the country by 120 kilometres.
After four years of planning and careful consideration of the environmental issues, construction started in 2001. Dutch engineers with experience of reclaiming land from the sea were employed in the building of the first two islands. The site for all three islands is an area of the sea where the water is not very deep. Sand is taken from the seabed and sprayed into the construction site. Although the shallow water
facilitates this process, the islands are still very exposed to the currents and tidal movements of the sea. Rocks are used to hold the sand in place resulting in a large crescent (月状的) structure. This acts as a breakwater and protects the islands from the sea.
The first two islands are in the shape of date palm trees and consist of a trunk and 17 frond, or leaves coming off the trunk. The first island, named Palm Jumeirah, has three five-star hotels in the trunk, and luxury homes in the leaves. It is astonishing that when these homes went on sale in 2004, they were all sold within three days.
The second palm, Jebel Ali, was started in 2002 and is designed to be an entertainment centre. Six marinas (小游艇船坞) are planned, with a water theme park, and homes built on stilts (桩柱) in the water.
The Palm Deira planned to be the largest of the three islands, with a length of 14 km and a width of 8.5 km, an area larger than the city of Paris. It will consist of residential properties, marinas, shopping malls, sports facilities, and clubs. These will be open to both residents and tourists.
More artificial islands, the World Islands, are now being constructed near the Palm Jumeirah. They consist of 300 private islands grouped into the shape of the continents of the world and will be used for estates, private homes, community islands, and resorts.
Unquestionably, these artificial islands are one of the wonders of the modern world. They will a lso maintain Dubai’s status as one of the leading tourist destinations in the region.
试题分析：位于迪拜的棕榈岛是世界上最大的人工岛，它们正在建设当中，将会在人工岛上开发旅游、休闲、住宅等项目。

棕榈岛由朱美拉棕榈岛（The Palm Jumeirah）、阿里山棕榈岛、代拉棕榈岛和世界岛等四个岛屿群组成。

56．According to the passage, all the following are right EXCEPT___________.
A. Some Dutch engineers are experienced in reclaiming land from the sea.
B. The islands are being built in the shallow water of the sea.
C. All the luxury homes on Palm Jumeirah were sold.
D. The World Islands are bigger than the Palm Jumeriah.
57．The underlined word “facilitates” in the second paragraph probably means___________.
A. holds back
B. makes easier
C. slows down
D. leads to
57．B猜测词义题。

根据“the islands are still very exposed to the currents and tidal movements of the sea”可知，尽管浅滩有利于施工，但是岛屿仍然会受到海流和潮汐的影响，故选B。

58．What is the passage written for?
A. To introduce the wonderful artificial islands.
B. To show how to build artificial islands.
C. To offer a travel service for tourists.
D. To prove the Palm Islands are the largest artificial islands in the world. 58．A写作意图题。

根据第一段“The Palm Islands are the largest artificial islands in the world and are under construction in Dubai, ...They are being developed as tourist, leisure, and residential resorts”可知，文章主要介绍了一些在建的人工岛屿，故选A。

B
The slavery drama "12 Years a Slave” won the Academy Award for best picture on Sunday, making history as the first movie from a black director to win the film industry’s highest honor in 86 years of the Oscars. British director Steve McQueen’s brave portrayal of pre-Civil War American slavery won two other Oscars, including best supporting actress for newcomer Lupita Nyong’o and best adapted screenplay based on the memoir of Solomon Northup, a free man tricked and sold into slavery in Louisiana. “Everyone deserves not just to survive but to live. This is the most important legacy of Solomon Northup,” said McQueen in his acceptance speech.
“12 Years a Slave” was better over space thriller “Gravity” from Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron, which nevertheless got the most Oscars of the night with seven, including the best director honor for Cuaron, a first for a Latin American director.The film starring Sandra Bullock as an astronaut lost in space swept the technical awards like visual effects and cinematography, a reward for its groundbreaking work on conveying space and weightlessness. Referring to the “transformative” experience he and others undertook in the four-plus years spent making “Gravity”, Cuaron, whose hair is graying, said, “For a lot of these people, that transformation was wisdom. For me, it was just the color of my hair.” In
one of the strongest years for film in recent memory, the 6,000-plus voters of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences scattered golden Oscar statuettes among the many acclaimed movies in contention.
It was a good night for the scrappy, low-budget film “Dallas Buyers Club”, directed by Jean-Marc Vallee, a biopic of an early AIDS activist two decades in the making that won three Oscars, including the two male acting awards.
Matthew McConaughey, in a validation of a remarkable career turnaround, won best actor for his portrayal of the homophobe who turned AIDS victim and then turned treatment crusader Ron Woodroof, a role for which he lost 50 pounds (23 kg). His co-star, Jared Leto, won best supporting actor for his role as Woodroof’s unlikely business partner, the transgender woman Rayon, for which he also slimmed down drastically.
Australia’s Cate Blanchett won the best actress Oscar for her accl aimed role as the socialite unhinged by her husband’s financial crimes in Woody Allen’s “Blue Jasmine.” “As random and subjective as this award is, it means a great deal in a year of, yet again, extraordinary performances by women,” said Blanchett, who bea t out previous Oscar winners Bullock, Amy Adams, Judi Dench and Meryl Streep.
试题分析: 本文是介绍了一些获得了第86届奥斯卡奖的电影和对他们的介绍。

59．The film which won the largest number of Oscar awards this year is ______.
A. 12 Years a Slave
B. Gravity
C. Dallas Buyers Club
D. Blue Jasmine
59．B考查细节理解。

根据第二段的句子：“12 Years a Slave” was better over space thriller “Gravity” from Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron, which nevertheless got the most Oscars of the night with seven, including the best director honor for Cuaron, a first for a Latin American director.可知电影Gravity获得的奥斯卡奖项最多，选B。

60．Which director spent the least money in making the film?
A. Steve McQueen.
B. Alfonso Cuaron.
C. Jean-Marc Vallee.
D. Woody Allen.
60．C考查细节理解。

根据第四段的句子：It was a good night for the scrappy, low-budget film “Dallas Buyers Club”, directed by Jean-Marc Vallee 可知导演Jean-Marc Vallee.拍电影花的钱最少，选C

A. One.
B. Three.
C. Five.
D. Six.
62．Which of the following statements is WRONG?
A. 12 Years a Slave won two Oscar awards altogether.
B. The director of Gravity is from Latin America.
C. The character Rayon is played by Jared Leto.

62. A考查细节理解。

根据文章第一段的句子：The slavery drama “12 Years a Slave” won the Academy Award for best picture on Sunday, making history as the first movie from a black director to win the film industry’s highest honor in 86 years of the Oscars. British director Steve McQueen’s brave portrayal of pre-Civil War American slavery won two other Oscars, 可知“12 Years a Slave” 一共是赢得了三项奥斯卡奖，所以A的表达错误。

Petroleum, consisting of crude oil（原油） and natural gas, seems to originate from organic matter in marine sediment（海洋沉淀物）.Tiny organisms settle to the seafloor and gather in marine mud. The organic matter may partially break down, using up the dissolved oxygen in the sediment. As soon as the oxygen is gone, decay stops and the remaining organic matter is preserved.
Continued sedimentation buries the organic matter and subjects it to higher temperatures and pressures, which change the organic matter to oil and gas. As muddy sediments are pressed together, the gas and small drops of oil may be squeezed out of the mud and may move into sandy layers nearby. Over millions of years, accumulations of gas and oil can collect in the sandy layers. Both oil and gas are less dense than water, so they generally tend to rise upward through rock and sediment.
Oil pools are valuable underground accumulations of oil, and oil fields are regions underlain by one or more oil pools. When an oil pool or field is discovered, wells are drilled into the ground. When the well reaches a pool, oil usually rises up the well because of its density difference（密度差） with water beneath it or because of the pressure of expanding gas trapped above it. Although this rise of oil is almost always carefully controlled today, strong natural flows of oil were common in the
past. Gas pressure gradually dies out, and oil is pumped from the well. Water or steam may be pumped down neighboring wells to help push the oil out.
As oil becomes increasingly difficult to find, the search for it is extended into more unfriendly environments. The development of the oil field on the North Slope of Alaska and the construction of the Alaska pipeline are examples of the great expense and difficulty involved in new oil discoveries. Offshore drilling platforms extend the search for oil to the ocean’s continental shelves. More than one-quarter of the world’s oil and almost one-fifth of the world’s natural gas come from offshore, even though offshore drilling is six to seven times more expensive than drilling on land.
Of course, there is far more oil underground than can be recovered. Even given the best exploration techniques, only about 30 to 40 percent of the oil in a given pool can be brought to the surface. The rest is far too difficult to reach and has to remain underground.
试题分析：主要主要介绍了石油的形成以及探究石油的开采与挖掘和阻碍石油开发的因素。

63．Which of the following is true about petroleum formation?
A. Microscopic organisms that live in mud produce crude oil and natural gas.
B. Large amounts of oxygen are needed for petroleum formation to begin.
C. Petroleum is formed when organic material in sediments combines with decaying organisms.
D. Petroleum formation appears to begin in marine sediments where organic matter exists.
63．D细节理解题。

根据文章第一段第一句“seems to originate from organic matter in marine sediment“可以判断石油始于海洋沉淀物，故选D适合。

64．What does the development of the Alaskan oil field mentioned illustrate?
A. More petroleum is extracted from the sea than from land.
B. Drilling for oil requires huge financial investments.
C. The global demand for oil has been increasing over the years.
D. The North Slope of Alaska has substantial amounts of oil.
65．What does the author mainly intend to tell us in the passage?
A. The formation, processing and exploration of petroleum
B. The specific techniques involved in oil exploration.
C. The changing relationships between countries.
D. The future intense situation in oil product markets.
65．A主旨大意题。

依据文章整体可以看出文章主要哦讲的就是石油的形成，加工以及开采，故A正确。

66．What can we infer from the passage?
A. Available exploration techniques serve our purpose of exploring oil very well.
B. More and more public regions will be further protected from being drilled in the future.
C. Countries may suffer from unpleasant relationships for respective benefits in exploring oil.
D. Powerful flows of oil is a phenomenon which can be witnessed rarely now.
66．D推理判断题结合文章的大意，从最后一段的“only about 30 to 40 percent of the oil in a given pool can be brought to the surface“来看目前的石油开采技术还不够完善故A项错误；B和C项内容没有涉及；故选D项。

D
IKEA is the world’s largest furniture retailer, and the man behind it is Ingvar Kamprad, one of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs. Born in Sweden in 1926, Kamprad was a natural businessman. As a child, he enjoyed selling things and made small profits from selling matches, seeds, and pencils in his community. When Kamprad was 17, his father gave him some money as a reward for his good grades. Naturally he used it to start up a business—IKEA.
IKEA’s name comes from Kamprad's initials (I.K.) and the place where he grew up (‘E’and ‘A’). Today IKEA is known for its modern, minimalist furniture, but it was not a furniture company in the beginning. Rather, IKEA sold all kinds of miscellaneous goods.
Kamprad’s wares included anything that he could sell for profits at discounted prices, including watches, pens and stockings.
IKEA first began to sell furniture through a mail-order catalogue in 1947. The furniture was all designed and made by manufa cturers near Kamprad’s home. Initial sales were very encouraging, so Kamprad expanded the product line．Furniture was such a successful aspect of the business that IKEA became solely a furniture company in 1951.
In 1953 IKEA opened its first showroom in Almhult, Sweden. IKEA is known today for its spacious stores with furniture in attractive settings, but in the early1950s, people ordered from catalogues. Thus response to the first showroom was overwhelming: people loved being able to see and try the furniture before buying it. This led to increased sales and the company continued to thrive. By 1955, IKEA was designing all its own furniture.
In 1956 Kamprad saw a man disassembling(拆卸) a table to make it easier to transport. Kamprad was inspired. The man had given him a great idea: flat packaging. Flat packaging would mean lower shipping costs for IKEA and lower prices for customers. IKEA tried it and sales soared. The problem was that people had to assemble furniture themselves, but over time, even this grew into an advantage for IKEA. Nowadays, IKEA is often seen as having connotations(内涵) of self-sufficiency. This image has done wonders for the company, leading to better sales and continued expansion.
Today there are over 200 stores in 32 countries. Amazingly, Ingvar Kamprad has managed to keep IKEA a privately-held company. In 2004 he was named the world’s richest man. He currently lives in Switzerland and is retired from the day-to-day operations of IKEA. IKEA itself, though, just keeps on growing.
67．The author states in Paragraph 6 that flat packaging___________.
A. needs large space to assembly furniture
B. is a business concept inspired by Kamprad
C. helps reduce transportation costs
D. makes the company self-sufficient
