However, from my perspective, not all things are worth regretting. Only those things that you dare not attempt deserve regretting.Once, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of our school, a grand ceremony was to be held. All my classmates were enthusiastic about it, hoping to make their own contributions. Gifted as I was in dancing, I didn’t dare to dance in front of a large audience, due to my shyness. When seeing their excellent performance on the stage, a strong sense of repentance flooded into my heart.Not until then did I realize how regretful I felt, for I even didn’t give myself a chance to try it. In the future, I will grasp every opportunity to do what I can do to avoid regretting.2015年湖北省七市高三年级三月调研考试听力录音稿（音乐30秒）这是2015年湖北省七市高三年级三月调研考试英语科听力部分。

When she began her career as a professional sheep dog，Floss was impressive-the sheep responded well to her，she was faster than the average and she certainly looked good. But farmer Dave Issac has unwillingly decided to sell Floss as she is now too big to get through his farmyard gates-because she is a pretty car.Mr.Issac，46，who lives on a 180-acre farm near Battle in East Sussex，converted the family car into a working sheep dog in memory of his dog which had recently died.He spent £2000 covering the family car in fur and changing it until it became an exact copy ofFloss，his favorite sheep dog.Floss the sheep dog car，who has a top speed of 40 mph，soon proved to be a surprisingly effective herder as the flock of sheep failed to notice they were being rounded up by a much larger animal with headlamps for eyes and an exhaust.Mr.Issac said：“I kno w it was a bit of a mad thing to do but it was a gift to my old sheep dog Floss who passed away.I have three kids and we loved her and as a family we all missed her terribly.So I got together with a friend and we built Floss the sheep dog car in my farm，co pying as closely as I could every last detail of my old dog.Sheep aren’t known for their intelligence and they didn’t seem to notice the difference so they were quite happy.”But Floss the car，which is not licensed to drive on public roads，is now too big to drive along the narrow farm tracks and through the gates to Mr.Issac’s fields.Because Floss also required a wood frame to attach the fur，the car is now taking up too much space of a busy working farm.Mr.Issac added：“They were things we didn’t re ally consider when we built her so with a heavy heart she is going on E-bay. It’s been a lot of fun.She is nice and handles well.”Mr.Isaac hopes Floss the sheep dog car may interest festival organizers or dog charities as a fun car.“As long as sh e goes to a good home，I’ll be happy.”he said.51. What can we learn from the first paragraph about Floss？A. Floss works as a sheep dog.B. Floss is an impressive sheep dog.C. Floss the big car has been sold.D. Floss is a pretty car in a movie.52. For what purpose did Mr.Issac build Floss the car？A. To attract people's attention.B. To make his family happy.C. To create an effective herder.D. To recall his favorite sheep dog.53. Why did Mr. Issac decide to sell Floss the car？A. Because he was very sad at the death of his pet dog.B. Because Floss can only drive on public roads.C. Because Floss is too big and takes up too much space.D. Because it is great fun to sell a car on E-bay.54. According to the passage，what kind of person is Mr.Issac？A. A talented and modest worker.B. An intelligent and creative farmer.C. A crazy and strange car lover.D. A diligent and ambitious driver.BBiking along the beach.Working on a puzzle with the family. Reading on the couch.These apparently ordinary activities aren’t just time-killers-they can be life savers.Studies show that hobbies have long-lasting and preventative results.People who play puzzle games and read have less memory loss when they get older.“A really good hobby totally absorbs us，”says Gail McMeekin.“It also gives us something to look forward to and focus on.”That break from everyday sadness is perfect for a person who juggles with careers and family life.Having a hobby makes that heavy load a little easier，as it sets aside time for both a mental break and focuses on an activity the person loves，one that is separate from office and parental duties.“It’s very sad when I see clients（当事人）who have been laid off show that work was the centre of their lives and they have no hobbies to turn to for support，”Gail says.“Entertainment gives us rest and a fresh perspective，”says Gail，who notes that lots of creative ideas appear when people take a break and listen to their intuition（直觉）.Danielle，blogger，made her blogging hobby a career a few years ago，and in the meantime found a hobby she never expected to get into：clothing design.“Having a hobby，especially a creative one，has positively impacted not only my work life，but my personal life as well，”Danielle says.“The trick，”she says，“is t o find out where you are spending time doing things that aren’t fulfilling to you and taking that time to do something you love instead.”“Learn to be an expert public speaker so you can give better presentations at work；start a scrapbooking（剪贴本）with your kids so you can spend time with them and be creative…”Danielle offers.Gail also suggests developing a hobby that promotes socialization with friends.This is an opportunity to become part of a powerful support system，which is important for emotional health.At the very least，it’s a good way to chat with a golf friend while walking the course and forgetting a long day at work.55. What do the underlined words in Paragraph 2 mean？A. Quit one’s career to pursue one’s hobby.B. Attach more importance to work than family.C. Prevent us from taking up our hobby.D. Struggle to a balance between work and family.56. What do we know about Danielle？A. Designing clothes is her career.B. She makes a living by writing blogs.C. She supports her family by being a public speaker.D. She spends time doing what she has no interest in.57. What does the last paragraph imply？A. We benefit from a hobby of talking with others.B. Developing a hobby is very important.C. Our feelings are determined by our hobbies.D. It’s our responsibility to socialize with others.58. According to the passage，the benefit a hobby brings is that .A. we can concentrate more on our jobsB. we can enjoy ourselves in the wildC. we can think in a more creative wayD. we can avoid being laid offC“Selfie”may have been named Oxford Dictionary’s word of 2013. In effect，so widely known has the selfie become that in the past 12 months，its frequency in the English language has increased by 17000 percent，said Oxford dictionaries.However，its popularity has just earned it another honour-being voted the most annoying and overused term of the past 12 months. But I’d like to offer that maybe it isn’t so bad.According to the Oxford online dictionary，selfie is a photo that one takes of oneself，often from a smartphone，and send them to a social media website. Women and men alike decorate their Facebook and Twitter accounts with these pictures，sometimes with exaggerated facial expressions，such as large smiles or puckered lips（噘嘴）.Let’s think about it.Someone takes about 10 selfies each time they do，and they only end up posting one or two of those.They pick the one that they feel makes them look the best. Isn’t tha t beautiful？In that one picture，somebody has given himself or herself confidence. Self-image is vital. In today’s society，we are so crazy about being perfect.But perhaps，with that one selfie，we feel as if we fit that need.We feel handsome，beautiful，confident，smart，happy，and content.For that moment，everything bad or terrible that has ever happened to us seemed to have been erased，for that smile or that pucker is what gives us the determination to love ourselves.A spoken-word poem I saw lately set me thinking：If I ask you what you love，the answers will most likely roll of your tongue.You love to read.You love to write. You love birds，music…your mom，your brother，your sister，your daughter，your best friend，your dog.How long do you think you could go on and on before you said，“I love myself.”？The poem hit me like a ton of bricks.I’ve struggled with confidence all of my life.And I still do.And in no way am I saying that taking a selfie is a gateway to that confidence.However，the selfie does deserve some credit for allowing individuals to express themselves.Just as Pamela Rutledge put it，“There are many more photographs available now of real people than models.”59. What can we learn about selfie in the first two paragraphs？A. It is an honorable photographer.B. It is the most popular term in 2013.C. It is an annoying online dictionary.D. It is a useful tool to decorate websites.60. According to the writer，we live in a society where .A. selfie leads to successB. a g ood image decides one’s statusC. one’s poor performance can be erasedD. being perfect is highly valuedA. our pleasure to enjoy beautyB. our need to love people around usC. our tendency to ignore ourselvesD. our real love to share with others62. In the writer’s opinion，selfieA. brings about people’s sense of confidenceB. is merely popular among teenagersC. tells the true meaning of lifeD. is an annoying phenomenon on the InternetDElectricity bills can be highly expensive and the power we consume comes at an even greater cost to the environment when you consider that over 85% of the electricity produced in the United States comes from fuels. Whether you’re concerned about cleaning up the environment or you simply want to reduce your electricity bill，residential wind power generators（发电机）could be a solution.Producing wind.power at home will not work for everyone.If you live in a over-populated residential area，there may be certain laws and zoning requirements that prohibit the use of windmills（风车）.If you live on 1 acre of land or more，you probably won’t have any issues but yo u should investigate carefully to make sure that wind power generators are both legal and practical where you live. Even if there are no laws or regulations prohibiting wind power generators you still need to be in a location that gets enough wind on a regular basis.Some producers of wind generators recommend that you live in an area with wind speeds that average at least 10 mph. Newer models have been developed recently that can operate with wind speeds as low as 4 mph but maximum efficiency is achieved at higher wind speeds. Before you fix a wind powered system，you will have to determine your power requirements. Will you be usingit to charge a small battery for a boat or vehicle or will you need enough power to run your entire household and be completely off the grid （电网）？Once you know what your power requirements are，you can start shopping around for a system that can meet those needs.Wind power generators are a great solution for a lot of people.They’re an ideal solution for remote locations where it would be impractical or simply too expensive to tap into the grid.They are quiet and totally clean，producing no pollution.They require no fuel and very little maintenance. Residential wind power offers a lot of benefits but it’s not for everyone.You’ll h ave to have some money up front to pay for the system and equipment；however，you could save quite a bit of money if you’re able to do much of the work yourself.You’ll also need to live in an area that gets enough wind to make the equipment worthwhile.You’ll need to do your homework before you make a purchase but，wind power generators could be a great solution for producing clean，low-cost energy.63. What is the main idea of the first paragraph？A. Electricity bills can be highly expensive.B. Most of the electricity in the US comes from fuels.C. Generating electricity does harm to the environment.D. Residential wind power generators are useful and necessary.64. What can we infer from the passage？A. wind power generators enjoy a lot of benefits.B. you can place wind power generators wherever you want.C. wind power generators are affordable to most families.D. wind power generators are an ideal solution for everyone.65. What attitude might the writer hold towards residential wind power generators？A. Negative.B. Supportive.C. Skeptical.D. Cautious.66. What is the best title for the passage？A. Ways of Fully Using Wind PowerB. How to Reduce Your Electricity BillC.Alternative Solution-Wind PowerD. Function of Wind Power GeneratorsEImagine you’ve had a fight with your best friend. It’s a stupid fight，something you will both get over.But right now you are upset.When you walk in the door，your mom asks what’s wrong.How are you mo stly likely to respond？Have a long，comforting talk about it with her.Or head to the fridge for the ice cream. But can that really help you feel better-or just make you feel sickeningly full？Emotional eating is when people use food as a way to deal with feelings instead of to satisfy hunger.We’ve all been there，finishing a whole bag of chips or eating cookie after cookie while preparing for a coming exam.But when done a lot-especially without realizing it-emotional eating can affect weight，health，and well-being.One of the biggest beliefs about emotional eating is that it’s caused by negative feelings.Yes，people often turn to food when they’re stressed out，lonely，sad，anxious，or bored.Nevertheless，emotional eating can be linked to positive feelings too，like the romance of sharing dessert on Valentine’s Day or the celebration of a holiday feast.More often，though，it’s the countless little daily stresses that cause someone to seek comfort or relaxation in food.We all have our own comfort foods.Amazingly，they may vary according to moods and sex.One study found that happy people seem to want to eat things like pizza，while sad people prefer ice cream and cookies.Bored people desire salty，fragile things，like chips.Girls go for chocolate and ice cream.This brings up a curious question：Does no one take comfort in carrots and cabbages？Researchers are looking into that，too.What they’re finding is that high-fat foods，like ice cream，may activate certain chemicals in the body that create a sense of contentment and fulfillment，which may actually make you reach for these foods again when feeling upset.We’re all emotional eaters to some extent.But for some people，emotional eating can be a real problem，causing serious problems such as weight gain.Managing emotional eating means finding other ways to deal with the situations and feelings that make someone turn to food.For example，do you come home from school each day and automatically head to the kitchen？Stop and ask yourself，“Am I really hungry？”Are you having difficulty concentrating？If these signs point to hunger，choose something light and healthy to take the edge off until dinner.67. The first two paragraphs are designed to .A. put forward the idea of emotional eatingB. stress the importance of friendshipC. explain the function of eating an ice creamD. offer advice on how to comfort an annoyed child68. People turn to emotional eating because .A. they benefit a lot from eatingB. they have a strong desire for foodC. they want to seek comfort or relaxationD. they suffer from weight problems69. Which of the following may not serve as comfort food？A.Chips.B.Carrots.C.Cookies.D.Pizzas.70. What’s the main idea of t he last paragraph？A. Eat whenever you can’t concentrate.B. It is natural to feel hungry after school.C. It’s hard to tell physical hunger from mental hunger.D. There are ways to break the cycle of emotional eating.第一节：完成句子71.

By using idioms．BBirds can learn to choose the best building materials for their nests，according to scientists．It was previously thought that birds'choice of nest materials was determined by their genes，that is，each type of bird has their own methods of building nests born with them．But an experiment has now shown this to be a more complex activity．This study，published in the Royal Society Journal Proceeding B，involved giving zebra finches （斑胸草雀）a choice of soft and hard string to build the their nests．"We found that they liked the harder string，"explained the lead researcher Dr Bailey from the University of St Andrews．"It's more efficient for them to build with-they can build a nest with fewer materials．"Dr Bailey and her colleagues were planning to test the learning ability of birds；their test aimed to work out if the birds could learn to tell the difference among the materials based on their quality．To test this，they gave one group of finches flexible，soft string to build with，and another group harder string．Both groups of birds were then offered a choice between the soft and hard string．And the birds that had been made to build their nests with the soft string immediately chose the more rigid building materials．"There is a great diversity of nests in the natural world，"said Dr Bailey．"And because birds are not considered to be as clever as people，who can learn to use different materials quite easily，the assumption had been that there was a genetic pattern in the birds'brains．""This shows that actually learning is also very important for their decisions．"Mike Toms from the British Trust for Ornithology said the research made a lot of sense．"It may help to explain the variety of materials that may be used by individuals of the same species nesting in the same general area．"He told BBC news．15.What is the purpose of the experiment mentioned in the text？______A. To make sure finches can use different building materials like people．B. To find which finch is more skillful in choosing building materials．C.

People should help birds build nests if possible．18.In which column of a newspaper could we find this text？______A. Garden．B. Environment．C. Science．D. Architecture．CBy 2050，a completely new type of human evolve as a result of extremely new technology，behavior，and natural selection．This is according to Cadell Last，a researcher at the Global Brain Institute，who claims mankind is undergoing a major"evolutionary transition"．In less than four decades，Mr．Last claims we will live longer，have children in old age and rely on artificial intelligence to do ordinary and boring tasks．This shift is so significant，he claims，it is comparable to the change from monkeys to apes，and apes to humans．"Your 80or 100is going to be so radically different than your grandparents，"Mr．Last says，who believes we will spend much of our time living in virtual reality．Some evolutionary scientists believe this age could be as high as 120by 2050．Mr．Last claims humans will also demonstrate delayed sexual maturation，according to a report by Christina Sterbenz in Business Insider．This refers to something known as life history theory which attempts to explain how natural selection shapes key events in a creature's life，such as reproduction．It suggests that as brain sizes increase，organisms need more energy and time to reach their full potential，and so reproduce less．Instead of living fast and dying younger，Mr．Last believes humans will live slow and die old．"Global society at the moment is a complete mess，"he told MailOnline．"But in crisis there is opportunity，and in apocalypse （启示）there can be transformation．So I think the next system humanity creates will be far more sophisticated，fair，and abundant than our current civilization．""I think our next system will be as different from the modern world，as our contemporary world is from the medieval （中世纪的）world．The biological clock isn't going to be around forever，"he added，and said that people could pause it for some time using future technology．The change is already happening．Today，the average age at which a woman in Britain has herfirst baby has been rising steadily stands at 29.8．In the US，just one percent of first children were born to women over the age of 35in 1970．By 2012，that figure rose to 15percent．"As countries become socio-economically advanced，more and more people，especially women have the option to engage in cultural reproduction，"Mr．Last added．And as well as having more child-free years to enjoy leisure time，he believes artificial intelligence will make up the need for low-skill jobs．We may also spend a large amount of time living in virtual reality．"I'm not quite sure most people have really absorbed the implications of this possibility，"Mr．Last said．His views are detailed in a paper，titled"Human Evolution，Life History Theory，and the End of Biological Reproduction"published Current Aging Science．19.According to Cadell Last，a completely new type of human will appear because of______ ．①artificial intelligence ②new technology ③natural selection ④mundane tasks⑤behaviorA. ②③⑤B. ①②③C. ③④⑤D. ①②⑤20.Which statement is compared by Mr．Last to the change from monkeys to apes，and apesto humans？______A. We have diseases and die young．B. We give birth to a child when we are young．C. We spend less time in virtual reality．D. We use intelligent robots to do everyday housework．21.The underlined words in the third paragraph most probably mean" ______ "．A. Organisms need more energy and time to ripen．B. Natural selection shapes key events．C. Reproduction．D. Reproduce less．22.In the next system Mr．Last explained we can infer that ______ ．A. women are engaged in careers or hobbies instead of giving birth to babiesB. women are engaged in playing computer games rather than workingC. women are engaged in cultural reproduction in place of menD. women are engaged in living in virtual reality without options．DMore than 2.25billion cups of coffee are consumed across the globe each day，and it's likely that many taste bitter．Now，a new study suggests that coffee fans can make their drink taste sweeter by simply swapping the color of their coffee cups．Scientists from Federation University Australia and the University of Oxford claim that blue and glass cups，which are popular in some coffee shops，reduce a coffee's bitterness，without any need for sugar and that coffee drunk from white cups tastes bitterest．To prove their claims，the researchers invited 36volunteers and used three different colored cups-blue，white and transparent glass-to do experiments．In the experiment，coffee consumed from the white cup was found to taste less sweet when compared to the other two colored cups，while the blue cup made the coffee taste the sweetest．The scientists believe that the color brown may be associated with coffee's bitterness because coffee in a white cup appears the brownest and tastes bitterest．"Our study clearly shows that the color of a coffee mug does influence the perceived taste and flavor of coffee，"said the lead author Dr George Doorn of Federation University Australia，"but the potential effects may be different between a one-time purchase and a return customer．""Anyhow，the effect of the mug's color on the flavor of the coffee suggests that café owners，baristas，as well as coffee mug manufacturers should carefully consider the color of their mugs，"he added．However，the idea that color can alter the taste of food and drink is not new．A study published last year revealed that red，strawberry-flavored mousse （慕斯蛋糕）served on a white plate was 10percent sweeter and 15percent more flavorful than the same food presented on a black plate．23.What color of the cup can best reduce coffee's bitterness without adding sugar？______A. Blue．B. Brown．C. White．D. Transparent．24.The scientists used ______ to do the experiment to prove their claims．①different brands of coffee②different-colored coffee cups③several volunteers④several manufacturersA. ①②B. ②③C. ②④D. ③④25.Why does coffee in white cups taste the least sweet？______A. Because white cups are not as beautiful as other cups．B. Because white cups are better used to serve cakes．C. Because white cups reduce the sugar in them．D. Because white cups make coffee appear the brownest．26.According to the article，which of the following statement is TRUE？______A. Black plates increase the sweetness of food and drink．B. Strawberry-flavored mousse is 10percent sweeter than coffee．C. People can make coffee taste sweeter by changing the color of their coffee cups．D. People consume more than 2.5billion cups of coffee across the globe each day．EDuring the month of September，a dear friend of mine lost her husband suddenly in an accident．The tragedy was a shock to everyone．This accident was sudden and certainly unexpected．It drove home the realization that you just don't know when a loved one is no longer going to be with you．We sometimes take our loved ones for granted，and we expect they will be with us forever．However，as we all know，life does not work that way and sometimes we get a wake up call that shocks us and makes us stand back and realize how short life is．In consoling her，I tried to imagine if I were in her shoes how I would feel．It was impossible to imagine what she was going through．What words could I say to help her？Sometimes words just can't express our feelings．Sometimes our actions are much more meaningful than words．A hug can sometimes express more than our words will ever express．Sometimes，just being there to listen is more meaningful and helpful to people．A second wake up call．As I was leaving the funeral，I ran into Marilyn．Marilyn has been a true friend to me over the years．She is one of those friends who is with you in the good times and is always by your side in the bad times．She has a sense of humor that makes everyone laugh and she makes everyone feel at ease．We chit-chatted for a few moments，and then she asked me how my job was．So I started talking and talking （I am sure she wished she had never asked）．I was having a stressful week with my job and I was telling her all the issues and how I was feeling．Shelistened to me as I was raving about my frustrations，then without saying a word，she took her hands and placed them on my face，and said to me，"But at least you had a day．"The touch of her hands on my cheeks，the calmness in her voice，and the words she spoke，"BUT AT LEAST YOU HAD A DAY．"hit me like a ton of bricks．All the frustrations，all the stress that was building up inside me came to a complete stop．Since that day，when I start feeling stressed，I remind myself of Marilyn's words：but at least I had a day!Things could be a lot worse．The stress of the situation always could be worse，but I am alive and I have a lot to be thankful for，so I shall not waste my days with stress and frustrations．Life is too short!27.According to the passage，we can't get the idea that ______ ．A. actions may be more meaningful than wordsB. take every day you can breathe as a gift and enjoy itC. we should cherish our loved onesD. once bitten，twice shy28.The underlined phrase in Paragraph 2probably means" ______ "．A. drives somebody homeB. makes something understoodC. forces somebody outD. makes something easy29.Which of the following is the author likely to do？______A.

from．注意：①无须写标题；②除诗歌外，文体不限；③内容必须结合你生活中的一个事例；④不得透露个人姓名和学校名称；⑤词数不少于120，如引用提示语则不计入总词数．答案和解析1.【答案】C【解析】答案：C，考查名词的辨析，permission"允许，许可"，profit"利益，利润"，preference"优先权，偏爱"，phenomenon"现象"，根据语境应是"优先考虑"，使用give preference to，故选C．为了可持续发展，政府已经决定在很多方面优先考虑节能和环境友好型的生意．考查名词的辨析，应区分各个名词的意思，根据语境确定正确的答案．2.【答案】B【解析】答案是B．本题考查形容词词义辨析．contradictory 矛盾的；unique独特的；similar相似的；optimistic乐观的；由下文"有自己的需要、偏好和才能"可以推断每个孩子都是"独特的"，所以答案选择B．每一个孩子都是独特的，有他们自己的需要、偏好和才能．辨析形容词要在识记常见形容词及其搭配的基础上理解语境，根据具体语境推断合理的答案．3.【答案】C【解析】答案C．A选项"牺牲；祭祀"；B选项"代替"；D选项"幸存"；C选项"使简单化"；C项符合语境，故选C．句意：聪明人经常会让复杂的问题简单化，而傻瓜更可能将简单的东西弄得更复杂．本题考查动词辨析．解答此类题目首先要读懂句意，然后根据上下文语境锁定合适的动词．平时要加强动词词汇量的积累．4.【答案】B【解析】答案：B．根据which is making them less and less confident（这使得他们越来越没有自信）可以知道which指代的是Nowadays senior high school students are burdened with too many ______，（现在的高中生的身上承担了太多的）这句话，所以选择B：expectation（期盼），其他选项与句义不符，A是动机；C是趋势；D准备工作．现在的高中生的身上承担了太多的期盼，这使得他们越来越没有自信．考查名词辨析．高考英语词汇辨析一般在于同义词、近义词的词义和用法辨析、反义词之间的意义差别、词组（短语）的用法异同点以及一些习惯用法和固定搭配等．5.【答案】C【解析】答案C．bring in把…拿进来；带进来；收获（庄稼等）；赚（钱）；settle in习惯（新居）；适应（新工作、新学校等）；take in吸收；领会；理解；领悟；欺骗；接待；fit in相处融洽；适应．根据后面的宾语"what I was saying"可知句子表达的意思是"能理解我说的话"；故答案选C．我尽我所能向他解释这件事，但他仍然不能理解我说的话．本题考查动词短语的辨析．英语中有的词组没有捷径，只有平时加强记忆，要注意区别，记忆的时候不能忽视，这是常见的命题方式．平时要加强记忆，做题时，别忘了要结合上下文句意判断．6.【答案】A【解析】句意：在芝加哥电影节上电影《模拟游戏》被被授予观众选择奖，横扫2014所有好莱坞的影片，赢得了包括最佳导演、最佳男主角和最佳女配角等在内的四项奖项．B项"分配；散布；分开"；C项"占据，占领；居住；使忙碌"；D项"担保"；A项"扫，打扫；席卷；扫视；袭击"；动词短语"sweep the awards 横扫，席卷…奖项"，根据句意可知，A项符合语境，故选A．7.【答案】A【解析】答案A．B项"近似地，大约"；C项"潜在地"；D项"粗略地，粗暴地"；A项"相对地"；根据句意可知，多种因素会导致心脏病，但缺乏锻炼和其它众多因素比较而言，危险相对而言还是比较小的，因此A项符合语境，故选A．句意：缺乏锻炼也是导致心脏病的一个因素．但和其他因素相比，这种危险较小．本题考查副词的辨析．解答此类题目首先要读懂句意，理解每个选项副词的意思，然后根据上下文语境锁定合适的副词词．平时要加强副词的积累．8.【答案】A【解析】答案A．squeeze out挤出；排挤；榨出；reach out伸出；伸出（手）够…；stretch out延伸；伸直；test out对…进行彻底检验；测试．根据后面的语境"as teachers think it takes time away from studying因为教师认为它挤占了学习的时间"可知句子表达的意思是"体育已经从课程中被挤出去了"；故答案选A．在中国的一些学校，体育已经从课程中被挤出去了，因为教师认为它挤占了学习的时间．本题考查动词短语的辨析．英语中有的词组没有捷径，只有平时加强记忆，要注意区别，记忆的时候不能忽视，这是常见的命题方式．平时要加强记忆，做题时，别忘了要结合上下文句意判断．9.【答案】D【解析】答案是D．本题考查形容词词义辨析．abundant丰富的；affordable负担得起的；aggressive好斗的，有进取心的；accessible易使用的，易得到的，常常构成短语be accessible to表示"可得到的，可到达的"；根据句意，学校设备差，所以学生不易使用好的学习资源，所以答案选择D．这所学校装备如此的差以至于学生根本不容易得到好的学习资源．形容词辨析的关键在于积累词汇和一些相关的固定搭配，在此基础上结合语境，做出合理的判断．10.【答案】A【解析】答案是A．本题主要考查介词短语辨析．for the sake of 为了；in case of以防，如果；by means of用…方法；for fear of 以免，因为害怕；根据句意，使自己置身于陌生环境是"为了"获得机会或探索，所以答案选择A．为了机会和探索，很多人漂洋过海，离开朋友和家庭使自己置身于陌生的地方．本题考查介词短语的语义辨析，考生在平时的学习中应注意积累相应的短语和词汇，并牢记其意思．在做题时，将短语的意思和题干相结合，从语法、句子结构尤其是句意上去判断，句意通顺，符合逻辑，即正确答案．11.【答案】【小题1】C 【小题2】C 【小题3】A 【小题4】B【解析】51-54 CCAB51．C 词义猜测题．根据第四段中的"But mean dogs are often used to guard the property，for they bark at or attack people who try to enter the property．"可知，用来看护财产的狗应该是"凶猛的"．这样，当有人接近它守护的财产时，它就会冲他狂吠或袭击．52．C 细节理解题．根据第一段中的"The expression"to lead a dog's life"describes a person who has an unhappy life．"可知正确答案．53．A 推理判断题．根据第四段中的"However，sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad．"可知表面凶猛的人并不一定真的很坏．54．D 篇章结构题．通读全文，作者在介绍与"狗"相关的习语时，列举了很多例子，这些例子大多与人有关，也与天气有关．本文通过举例说明美国人使用了很多与"狗"相关的习惯．阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释．考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点．15.【答案】【小题1】D 【小题2】A 【小题3】B 【小题4】C【解析】55-58 DABC55．D 推理判断题．根据第二段第一句中"…to test the learning ability of birds"及"their test aimed to work out if the birds could learn to tell the difference among the materials based on their quality"可知，此试验的目的就在于"确定斑胸草雀是否能突破基因限制而通过后天学习根据线绳（建筑材料）的品质而区分线绳"．56．A 细节理解题．根据第二段可知，实验过程如下：研究找到一些斑胸草雀→把它们分成二组→给第一组提供软线绳做巢；给第二组提供硬线绳→再给它们提供一些硬线绳，结果第一组斑胸草雀立刻放弃使用软线绳而选择使用硬线绳．57．B 推理判断题．通读全文可知，在同一地区筑巢的同类鸟中的不同个体可以根据自己的需要选择不同的材料筑巢，这自然而然的体现出其筑巢材料的多样性，所以由此研究可知：在筑巢时，虽是同类鸟，但它们却选用不同的材料，所以这种现象是常见的．58．C 主旨大意题．通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了鸟在筑巢时会有选择性地使用筑巢材料，所以这篇文章应属于自然科学方面的文章．本文主要讲述了鸟在筑巢时会有选择性地使用筑巢材料．阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释．考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点．19.【答案】【小题1】A 【小题2】D 【小题3】A 【小题4】A【解析】59．A 细节理解题．由第一段中的"a completely new type of human evolve as a result of extremely new technology，behavior，and natural selection．This is according to Cadell Last"可知，一种全新的人类进化作为一个非常新的技术，行为，和自然选择．所以答案顺序为②③⑤正确，故选A．60．D 细节理解题．由第二段中的"Mr．Last claims we will live longer，have children in old age and rely on artificial intelligence to do ordinary and boring tasks．"可知拉斯特先生声称，我们将活得更长，有孩子在老年和依靠人工智能做普通和无聊的任务，D项正确．61．A 句意理解题．由后文中的"It suggests that as brain sizes increase，organisms need more energy and time to reach their full potential，and so reproduce less．"可知，画线部分指的是生物体需要更多的时间和精力成熟起来，从而充分发挥其潜力，故A项正确．62．A 推理判断题．由文章倒数第三段可知，这种改变已经发生，女性生孩子的年龄越来越晚，再由倒数第二段中的"more and more people，especially women have the option to engage in cultural reproduction"可知，越来越多的女性选择参与到文化再生产中，也就是说越来越多的女性选择投入到工作或业余爱好中去，由此可知A项正确．本文写了到2050，一种全新的人类进化会出现新的技术、行为和自然选择．阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释．考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点．。
