【解析】
【详解】考查动词词义辨析。

句意：过这条繁忙的街道时不要看你的智能手机，如果你这样做，你可能会被车辗过。

you与run over之间是被动关系，应该用被动语态，be done=get done，故B项正确。

A. rushed out the boys
B. did the boys rush out

D. out the boys rushed
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和倒装。

句意：铃一响，男孩子们就冲了出来，兴高采烈地朝操场跑去。

“rang”表明用一般过去时，表示地点或方位的副词位于句首表示强调，需要用完全倒装语序，故C项正确。

【点睛】使用完全倒装通常有以下两种情况：1） here, there, now, then, thus等副词置于句首, 谓语动词常用be, come, go, lie, run等表示来去或状态的动词。

例如： Then came the bus. Here is your letter. 2）表示运动方向的副词或地点状语置于句首，谓语表示运动的动词。

Out rushed a boy. Ahead sat an old woman. 注意如果主语是人称代词，不用完全倒装语序，比如：Here you are. Away they went.

C. to have
D. doing so 【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查动词的固定结构。

句意：——你本应该参加你女儿的毕业典礼。

——我本打算去的，但发生了点急事。

根据“You should have attended”可知，第二人没有去参加女儿的毕业典礼， mean to have done表示“本打算做而没有做”，此处省略了done，故C项正确。

9.Senior family members, especially parents, should create an atmosphere ________ would encourage their children to read books.
A. that
B. what
C. where
D. when
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。

句意：年长的家庭成员，尤其是父母，应该创造一种鼓励孩子读书
的氛围。

此处为定语从句，关系词指代先行词atmosphere，并在从句中作主语，故A项正确。

【点睛】定语从句的解题关键是要分两步走，一是找准先行词，二是判断关系词在从句所做的成分，例如本题，关系词指代先行词atmosphere，并在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词that，试与下面这个例句作比较，I think our school should create a relaxing atmosphere where we students can study without stress. 我认为我们学校应该营造一种轻松的氛围，在那种氛围下我们学生可以毫无压力地学习。

（先行词同样为atmosphere，但从句中不缺主宾表，缺少地点状语，所以用关系副词where）
10.Reading light fiction, going out to see a romantic comedy, or sharing a pleasant time with friends is not ________ my bad feelings now.
A. in tune with
B. in touch with
C. in honour of
D. in defence of
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查介词短语辨析。

句意：读轻松的小说，出去看浪漫喜剧，或者和朋友们分享快乐的时光，这些都不符合我现在的坏心情。

A. in tune with与……一致；B. in touch with 与……联系；C. in honour of为纪念；D. in defence of为……辩护。

根据“my bad feelings”可知，此处表示“符合、与……一致”，故A项正确。

pared with those brought up in harmonious families, children repeatedly exposed to violence are more likely to be ________ when they grow up.
A. available
B. aggressive
C. admirable
D.
attractive
【答案】B
【解析】

句意：与那些在和谐家庭中长大的孩子相比，反复接触暴力的孩子长大后更有可能具有攻击性。

A. available可得到的；B. aggressive好斗的；C. admirable令人钦佩的；D. attractive有吸引力的。

根据“exposed to violence”可知此处表示“好斗的、侵略性的”，故B项正确。

12.Nearly 3,500 years ago, people chewed on leaves ________ a special chemical to reduce body pains and fever.
A. possessed
B. to possess
C. having possessed
D. possessing
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。

句意：大约3500年前，人们咀嚼含有一种特殊化学物质的树叶来减轻身体疼痛和发烧。

leaves 与possess之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，表示主动，用现在分词作后置定语，现在分词表示的动作不先于主语动作，所以不用现在分词的完成式，故D项正确。

13.Robert Redford, a famous actor and director, wanted to expose the public to films made outside of the Hollywood system that ordinary people might have no access to ________.
A. otherwise
B. though
C. thus
D.
therefore
【答案】A

句意：罗伯特·雷德福是一位著名的演员和导演，他想让公众接触好莱坞体制之外的电影，否则普通人可能无法接触到这些电影。

A. otherwise否则；B. though虽然，不过；C. thus从而；D. therefore因此。

根据“that ordinary people might have no access to”可知，此处表示“否则”，故A项正确。

14.—________ makes your son feel depressed recently?
—Being rejected by all the universities he has applied to.
A. What it is that
B. How is it that
C. What is it that
D. How it is that

【解析】
【详解】考查强调句的特殊疑问句形式。

句意：——是什么让你儿子最近感到沮丧？——所
有他申请的大学都拒绝了他（这一事情）。

强调句的特殊疑问句形式为；疑问词+is it that+其余部分，其中特殊疑问词是被强调的部分，根据答语可知强调的是主语，表示“什么”，故C项正确。

15.—I love the film “Aquaman” and the heroine, Mera, in particular.
—________. Don’t you think the violence in it goes too far?
A. That’s not the point
B. I beg to differ
C. I feel the same way
D. I can’t agree more

——恕我不敢苟同，你不认为其中的暴力太过分了吗？A. That’s not the point这不是重点；B. I beg to differ恕我不敢苟同；C. I feel the same way我也有同样的感觉；D. I can’t agree more 再同意不过了。

根据答语“Don’t you think the violence in it goes too far?”可知，第二人不同意第一人的观点，故B项正确。

【点睛】情景交际的难度较大，除了解个选项的意思外，抓住答语的暗示也很重要，例如本题，根据答语“Don’t you think the violence in it goes too far?”可知，第二人不喜欢电影《海王》，四项中只有B项I beg to differ（恕我不敢苟同）表示不同意别人的观点，故B项正确。

第三部分阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20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
Cooloola National Park
The park protects the largest undamaged sand dune(沙丘) system in the world, and also includes rainforest, open forest and heathlands. Significant features of the park are the coloured sand cliffs, extensive beaches, forests and peaceful lakes.
Visitors can enjoy bushwalking, scenic drives, beach fishing, lake and surf swimming. Many rough tracks within the park are 4WD (four-wheel drive) only — day tours and safaris(游猎) are available.
◆Walks
Cooloola National Park provides many day and extended walks opportunities. The Noosa river is also a great river to canoe(划独木舟) up and many people do. Spring is the best time to walk, and the wildflowers are impressive.
The old foot bridge that was washed away over Kin Creek has now been replaced further upstream and the track here upgraded.
◆Walks from Harrys Hut
Harrys Hut provides a good base to explore this area. Some walks may require the crossing of the Noosa River so it is good to either have a lilo or some other means to cross it.
◆Campsite 3
From the campground, cross the Noosa River and pick up the track on the east bank. This path follows the Noosa River upstream to Campsite 3, a large bush campsite with a toilet provided. Water may be picked up along the track. It is nice to have a swim here after a long hot walk. It is about a 1.5 hour easy walk from Harrys.
◆Fig Tree Point
The point could also be done as an easy extended walk. It is best to follow the old forestry road, 1km back along the road from Harrys, to the point. There is no water. The walk would be about a18km walk return to Harrys Hut.
◆ Wandi Waterhole
An easy day walk of about 9kms to the campsite. This walk could be used as an introduction to extended walks. The track follows the Wilderness Trail and there is no navigational(导航的) problem.
◆ Information and booking

C. there is no navigational problem
D. there is a newly-built foot bridge
【答案】36. C 37. A
【解析】
本文是一篇应用文，介绍了澳大利亚的著名旅游景点库鲁拉国家公园。

【36题详解】

【37题详解】
细节理解题。

Mythology(神话) is rich with tales of dragons and the magical characteristics of their blood. It was supposed to be capable of curing certain diseases and was widely sought after.
A new study at George Mason University in Virginia suggests that the blood of the Komodo dragon, the largest living lizard on the planet, is loaded with chemicals that could be used as antibiotics(抗生素).
Komodo dragons, which are native to parts of Indonesia, attack large animals like water buffalo and deer with a bite to the throat. If their prey (猎物) does not fall immediately, the dragons rarely continue the fight. Instead, they back away and let the mix of mild poison and dozens of disease-causing bacteria found in their saliva(唾液) finish the job. They track their prey until it falls, victim to the poison and the bacteria, and then they can feast without a struggle. The strange thing is Komodo dragons are not affected by the bites of other dragons.
This fact interested the researchers who then examined the blood of Komodo dragons and discovered that it possessed qualities that are likely to have important medicinal uses. They recognized 48 elements that had previously been unknown to science and decided to test them in their laboratory. They exposed two types of disease-causing bacteria to eight of the most promising elements found in dragon blood. They found that the growth of both bacteria were strongly affected by seven of the dragon blood elements.
These results are important because antibiotic-proof bacteria are an increasing problem in hospitals. Such bacteria are thought to cause 700,000 deaths in hospitals each year around the world. It could be that the work of scientists with Komodo dragon blood could solve this increasingly common problem and their work may prove that dragon’s blood is just as magical as myths suggest.
38. From Komodo dragons’ way of hunting prey, we can learn that ________.
A. Komodo dragons feast on their prey after a fierce fight
B. Komodo dragons in Indonesia tend to hunt big prey in groups
C. a bite to the throat is adequate to kill large beasts immediately
D. the poison and the bacteria in Komodo dragons’ saliva are deadly

To me, my parents’ relationship is like a Bollywood movie. Anil, an actor, and Sunita, a former model and fashion designer, met in high school, fell in love, and
have been happily married for 35 years. They support one another’s goals and work together to raise their family, regardless of what society demands.
When my dad was struggling at the start of his acting career, my mom supported the two of them financially through modeling work, even though she hated being in front of the camera. And when I was five or six, my dad — who was always identified
as a feminist(女权主义者)— would help to take the pressure off my mom, which was unheard of at the time and still uncommon.
With these kinds of actions, my parents taught us their progressive principles. Watching them, I learned the value of hard work, honesty, tolerance and a strong moral compass, and that what I could accomplish didn’ t have to be limited or decided by my sex.
While this may be common knowledge in other parts of the world (in theory if not always in practice), growing up in India, this was revolutionary. Here, many of us worship(敬奉) goddesses and elect women to the most powerful offices, yet women still aren’ t seen as equal to men. ①
But at home, there was no difference between my brother and I, between my mom and my dad. Seeing my parents interact as equals, I knew I too could have a voice someday. I felt powerful enough to stand up for myself. ② In the past, this meant walking away from so-called great films where I wasn’t receiving the treatment
or pay I felt I deserved, and others that didn’t agree with my worldview. But my upbringing has also led to exciting projects that have the power to spread my values further.
Cinema can be a reflection of what society is going through, but once in a while, you can be part of something that can actually change the way people think. ③ My dad and I recently worked on our first film together, “This is How I Felt When
I Saw That Girl”, i n which he plays my father, and I play his secret lesbian(女
同性恋) daughter, trying to find a way to come out to him.
As the first Bollywood movie about a lesbian relationship, we knew it wasn’t going to be a commercial hit in conservative India, and since we filmed it before gay(男同性恋) sex was made legal last September, we weren’ t sure whether the film
would come out. But my dad said, “We need to change the way people think about these things. You have to be OK with loving whoever you want to love, or being whoever you want to be.” I couldn’t agree more. ④
Last year, I followed in my parents’ footsteps and married my own best friend, a kind, sensitive man who is comfortable expressing his feelings and cares deeply about the world around him. When I look at him, I see so many of the values that were passed down to me. In fact, I don’t know if I would have chosen him had I not been raised to value those qualities — and I have my parents to thank for that. Inheritance(遗产) is not about money, or property. It’s t he values you teach your children. Teach them to do the right thing and to stand up for themselves and others, for the benefit of their future selves and the people around them.
