根据动作发生的先后，No sooner后用过去完成时，than后用一般过去时。

空白处应该用过去完成时，故选B。

【点睛】No sooner……than……引导时间状语从句，主句用过去完成时，"than"后面的从句用一般过去时(no sooner后面是主句，than后面是从句)。

例：I had no sooner reached home than it began to rain.我一到家天就下起雨来。

No sooner ...than...常放在句首，表示强调，这时主句要倒装。

阅读理解（共20小题，满分40分）
第一节：(每题2分，共30分)
A
It is quite natural for all of us to want to preserve and protect the foods we purchase. With that in mind, we often think that the best way to do that is by putting them in our refrigerators. However, that is not always the case. Bread
Nothing dries out bread faster than your refrigerator. In the event that you have made sandwiches with the bread, then you can place them in the fridge. The cold temperature will make the bread tough and chewy.
Tomato
We all love tomatoes for their taste. But putting them in the refrigerator will cause them to lose all of their flavor (口味). Plus, the cold air in the cooler stops the ripening process as well. And as we all know, ripening is what gives every tomato more taste and flavor. For best results, keep tomatoes out, and inside a basket or a bowl on your counter. Salad
Oil or vinegar based salad can be stored for a long period of time without refrigeration. Moreover, refrigeration of salad dressings brings bad smell. Keep in mind that some salads that are mayo (蛋黄酱) or yogurt based should be refrigerated in order to keep them fine. So if you have some salads that have been already dressed, you can keep them away from your fridge without any hesitation.
Egg
It is a long debate whether you should keep eggs inside your refrigerator or not. One study suggests that keeping eggs whether in a refrigerator or not does not change their normal qualities, so it can be said that if you keep eggs at room temperature, there should not be any problem. There is another study that shows that keeping eggs inside the refrigerators has a bad effect on the natural taste and flavor of eggs, so it is wise to keep eggs outside of your fridge.
21. Which of the following lose(s) water quickest in the cooler?
A. Bread
B. Tomatoes.
C. Salad.
D. Eggs.
22. What should we do with tomatoes to get the best taste?
A. Put them in the cooler.
B. Cook them at once.
C. Make them ripen faster.
D. Leave them in the shade.
23. What will go bad easily without refrigeration?
A. Dressed salad.
B. Mayo and yogurt.
C. Oil and vinegar.
D. Salad dressings.
【答案】21. A 22. D 23. B
【解析】

Growing up, I wanted to be just like my mom. She was kind. People always seemed to feel comfortable in her presence. For years, she was a volunteer in our community. I loved going to the local nursing home with her where she taught a ceramic class.
On one summer day, Mama told me to get changed and meet her at the car.
I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything? I imagined the cool lake water. Annoyed, I climbed into the car and slammed the door shut. We sat in silence. I was too upset to make conversation.
“Tasha, would you like to know where we are going?” Mama asked calmly.
“No,” I said.
“We are going to volunteer at a children’s shelter today. I have been there before and I think it will benefit you,” she explained.
When we reached the shelter, Mama rang the doorbell. Moments later, we were greeted by a woman. She led us to the front room where all of the children were playing. I noticed a baby whose body was scarred with iron marks. I was told it was because she wouldn’t stop crying. The majority of the children had noticeable physical scars. Others hid their emotional wounds.
As I took in my surroundings, I felt a gentle tug on my shirt. I looked down to see a little girl looking up at me. “Hi. You want to play dolls with me?” she asked. I looked over at Mama for reinforcement. She smiled and nodded. I turned back and said, “Sure.” Her tiny hand reached up and held mine, as if to comfort me.
My mom taught me a worthy lesson that summer. I returned to the shelter with her several times. During those visits, some of the children shared their troubled pasts with me and I learned to be grateful for what I had. Today as I try to instill(逐渐灌输) these values in my own child, I reflect back to that experience. It was a time that I will never forget.

【点睛】文章主题和中心思想的阐述往往需要大量细节信息的支持，这些细节对于理解全文内容至关重要，同时也是归纳和概括文章中心思想的基础。

命题人往往会要求考生根据不同的要求阅读文章，以获得某些
特定的信息，或准确地寻求所需的细节，并对细节进行直接或间接辨认和理解。

文章细节的理解可以细化为：（1）一一对应型。

答案与题目在表达形式和意义上直接吻合，一一对应，一目了然。

属于浅层次的阅读试题，分数比例较少。

（2）语言转述型。

这是一类间接事实细节题，答案与题目在意义上从分运用了词义之间的转述关系，即正确选项是原文有关词语和句子的另类表达。

属于中档难度题，分数比例较大。

（3）语意理解型。

这是一类深层事实细节理解题，答案与题目之间存在着一定的逻辑联系，这种联系需要建立在事实的基础上通过上、下文来进行判断、分析、归纳和整合，才能得出正确答案。

属于较高难度的事实细节题。

（4）是非辨别型。

这是一类综合事实细节题，出题形式常常是“三正一误”(三项正确，只有一项不符合原文内容)或“三误一正”（三项错误，只有一项符合原文内容)。

（5）事实排序型。

这是一类运用多项事实进行排序的事实细节题，要求根据动作发生的先后顺序、时间顺序或者句子之间的逻辑关系，找出时间发生，发展的正确顺序。

此题中的第一题为细节题中的语言转述型型，对于这类题目，我们首先要准确定位信息，然后根据信息句She was kind. People always seemed to feel comfortable in her presence中的关键词kind，以及comfortable 可以推断出作者的妈妈是受人爱戴的那是因为她善良，别人跟她在一起很舒服，所以A 正确。

而第三小题为语义理解题。

根据第七段The majority of the children had noticeable physical scars. Others hid their emotional wounds.可知孩子身上有伤疤，有的有精神创伤，所以是受虐待的。

C
Cameron is no ordinary dog, and not just because he was born on V alentine's Day. To Maggie, a first grader at Burgundy Farm Country Day School, the dog who spends most days on campus is more like a friend. When Cameron is near, Maggie feels "really, really, happy," she said, "I feel safe around him, she added.

“They bring out some important emotions/' he said, “and are especially helpful to children and adults who struggle in social communication, Children often came from challenging backgrounds: many lived in poverty, or had to travel through dangerous neighborhoods to get to school, or shared a too-crowded home. When these emotionally needy children met the dogs, they relaxed and were more prepared to learn.
Just as important, dogs on school grounds set a positive, welcoming tone. They help preserve the school climate that is accepting, supportive and curious・"Dogs are one way to hold on to Sindler said, adding that "schools should be fun and exciting, and dogs can be a big part of that."

这些可爱的狗们能够有助于学生缓解焦虑，激发学生的快乐情绪并有助于学生的健康成长。

【28题详解】
推理判断题。

由第一段中的
“ the dog who spends most days on campus is more like a friend.”以及“ He ’ll lie down and ask me to scratch his tummy ”可知，这只狗在学校里呆的时间最多，它更像是一个朋友。

所以通过关键词“like a friend ，lie down ，scratch his tummy ”可推断出Cameron 具有友善的天性。

故D 选项正确。

【29题详解】
细节理解题。

由第三段“They don’t care if you are good at basketball or a great reader, or popular” “They just want to be loved — equal opportunity,”可知，狗狗们并不在乎你是否是篮球高手，是否喜欢阅读，也不在乎你是否受大家欢迎。

他们要求平等地得到学生的爱，也同时均等地给予学生安慰。

所以校园里的狗，通过给学生同样的安慰来提高学生的社交和情感方面的健康。

故B 选项正确。

所以通过关键词“like a friend ，lie down ，scratch his tummy ”可推断出Cameron 具有友善的天性。

故小题1的正确选项为D 选项。

D
In the past 50 years, the amount of water in the open ocean with zero oxygen has gone up more than fourfold. In coastal water bodies，including river mouths and seas, low-oxygen sites have increased more than tenfold since 1950.Scientists expect oxygen to continue dropping even outside these zones as Earth warms .
“Oxygen is fundamental to life in the Oceans,” said Denise Breitburg, a marine ecologist with the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center. “The decline in ocean oxygen ranks among the most serio us effects of human activities on the Earth ’s environment. Actually, it's a great loss to all the support services that rely on recreation and tourism, including hotels and restaurants and taxi drivers and everything else. The reverberations(严重影响) of unhe althy ecosystems in the ocean can be extensive.”
In areas traditionally called “dead zones" , like those in Chesapeake Bay and the Gulf of Mexico，oxygen plummets(大幅下跌) to so low levels that many animals die. As fish avoid these zones, their habitats become smaller and they’ re easier to be attacked or caught. But the problem goes far beyond “dead zones”. Even smaller oxygen decline can prevent growth in animals, hinder reproduction and lead to disease or even death. It also can cause the release of dangerous chemicals such as nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas up to 300 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. While some animals can boom in “dead zones”，overall biodiversity falls.
Climate change is the key criminal in the open ocean. Warming surface waters make it harder for oxygen to reach the inside of the ocean. Furthermore, as the ocean as a whole gets warmer, it holds less oxygen. In coastal waters, too much nutrient pollution from land creates algal blooms, which use up oxygen as they die and break down.
People's livelihoods are also on the line, the scientists reported, especially in developing nations. Smaller fisheries(渔场)may be unable to relocate when low oxygen destroys their harvests or forces fish to move elsewhere. So we humans have to carry on a war now and win the war.
32. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The ocean has been losing its oxygen.
B. The amount of sea water is increasing.
C. The coastal water bodies are dangerous.
D. The Earth becomes warmer and warmer.
33. What can we infer from Denise Breitburg's words?
A. Different oceans have different levels of oxygen.
B. The decline in ocean oxygen has great influences.
C. The future of tourism relies on the levels of ocean oxygen.
D. The decrease in ocean oxygen is the most serious environment problem.
34. How does the “dead zone" affect sea animals?
A. It offers more food.
B. It forms dangerous gas.
C. It reduces their living areas.
D. It produces more carbon dioxide.
35. How can we win the war according to the text?
A. By closing smaller fisheries.
B. By controlling humans' bad activities.

【32题详解】
主旨大意题。

通过第一段我们知道了海洋面临的现状：在过去的50年里，海洋中零氧水域的水量增加了四倍多。

低氧场所自1950年以来增加了十多倍。

通过这些现状科学家预计，随着地球变暖，即使在这些区域之外，氧气也会继续下降。

由此可知海洋正在失去氧气，故选A。

根据第二段Denise Breitburg说的“Oxygen is fundamental to life in the Oceans,” “The decline in ocean oxygen ranks a mong the most serious effects of human activities on the Earth ’s environment. ……The reverberations(严重影响) of unhealthy ecosystems in the ocean can be extensive.”可知海洋氧气的减少是人类活动对地球环境最严重的影响之一，这种不健康的海洋生态系统的严重影响还会扩大。

由此可见海洋氧气的减少有很大影响，故选B。

根据第三段In a reas traditionally called “dead zones" , oxygen plummets(大幅下跌) to so low levels that many animals die. As fish avoid these zones, their habitats become smaller and they’ re easier to be attacked or caught.可知“死亡地带”，氧气大幅下跌，许多动物死去。

当鱼类避开这些区域时，它们的栖息地变小，更容易被攻击或捕获。

故选C。
