DStressed.【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段的“The first time this happened,I was shocked”可知,作者第一次在德国看医生时,医生的应对方式让他很震惊。【答案】B2According to the author,what effect do antibiotics have on his cold?AThey cure his cold.BThey prevent the disease.CThey kill the virus in him.DThey make him feel better.【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段的第二句“The drugs I used only relieved the symptoms”可推知,作者之前生病时所吃的抗生素只是缓解了感冒的症状,让自己感觉好一些而已。【答案】D3What do Germans think of “Erkltungstee”?AIt can replace any cold remedy.BIt can build up ones resistance.CIts a good way to selfmedicate.DIts better than chicken soup.【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句“But the longer I stayed in Germany,the better I knew how to selfmedicate as other Germans do”并结合最后一段所列举的Erkltungstee的例子可知,它是一种自我疗法。【答案】C4What can we infer from the text?AGermans tend not to use antibiotics to treat cold.BThe author often catches a cold in Taiwan.CThe author seldom drinks chicken soup.DGerman doctors are cold to patients.【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段和最后一段的整体内容可知,德国人感冒后医生是不给开药的,而且德国人有自我疗法。由此可推知,德国人不会感冒了就去吃抗生素。【答案】ABKenji Croman has broken his bones,his shoulder and elbow, and nearly drowned several times.Hes also had three close encounters with sharks over the years.A 10foot wave landed directly on top of him five years ago, bending his body to the point that he actually kicked himself in the head.“I literally heard every bone in my body crack.” he said.Croman has been photographing ocean waves since 2008, sometimes risking his life to get that perfect shot at the surf break.Despite the risks and certain injuries that come with wave photography, the Hawaii resident, body surfer and former competitive swimmer,wouldnt do anything else.The 36yearold photographer loves the thrill of meeting breaking waves head on, shooting waves as his interest and shooting surfers to pay the bills.The process of photographing waves requires more than just swimming out to where the surf breaks and waiting, he says.The night before a photo shoot Croman checks Surfline.com,a website and the coastal camera network that provides live and predicted ocean weather information, to see what the winds, waves and tide will be like at certain times.Croman has both a primary camera and a backup for emergencies.He goes without a wetsuit and uses heavy duty underwater housing to protect his camera.There is no great way for him to protect himself.He admits there are probably protective clothes he should be wearing, but there is little he could have done to decrease the impact of the 10foot wave that crashed on top of him.The hardest part of Cromans job is staying calm in the face of breaking waves when his initial reaction is to panic and swim away.At most, Croman will take two to three shots of a single wave.“Ive shot waves for so many years now that I see the wave in slow movement,” he said.【语篇解读】这是一篇写人的记叙文。曾是游泳队员,身体冲浪的夏威夷居民Kenji Croman现在的职业是海浪摄影师。这是一份需要莫大勇气却又充满冒险和刺激的工作。巨浪的拍打使他的身体多个部位骨折,还多次险遭鲨鱼的袭击,然而Kenji Croman却乐此不疲。5What do we know about Kenji Cromans job from the first paragraph?AIt is a game of death.BIt is full of mysteries.CIt requires patience.DIt calls for courage.【解析】推理判断题。由第一段的描述可知,在Kenji Croman的摄影生涯中,他多次面临生命危险,身体遭受极大痛苦,但他没有因此而放弃自己的工作。由此可见这是一份要求从业者具备莫大的勇气的工作。【答案】D6How does Kenji Croman make a living?ABy taking swimming races.BBy teaching photography.CBy shooting surfers.DBy surfing waves.【解析】事实细节题。由“.shooting waves as his interest and shooting surfers to pay the bills.”可知答案为C。【答案】C7Why does Kenji Croman check the websites like Surfline.com?ATo get better prepared for shooting.BTo predict something about weather.CTo learn more about surfing waves.DTo buy better equipment for safety.【解析】推理判断题。根据“.that provides live and predicted ocean weather information, to see what the winds, waves and tide will be like.”可知,Kenji Croman每次出海前都要了解一下海上天气状况,其目的是为顺利摄影做好充分的准备,以应对突发情况。故正确答案为A。【答案】A8What would be the best title of the text?ATaking adventures around the oceanBRisking his life for the perfect waveCMaking preparations for life risksDAppreciating breaking waves in danger【解析】标题归纳题。这篇短文的主题就是赞扬Kenji Croman为拍摄好的作品而不惜冒险的行为,因此最佳答案为B。【答案】BCNoah Webster, born on October 16, 1758, is known for The American Dictionary of the English Language.He has been called the“Father of American Scholarship and Education.”His“BlueBacked Speller”books were used to teach spelling and reading to five generations of American children.But how much do you know about him beyond that?At the age of 16, Noah Webster began attending Yale College.Unfortunately, he spent his four years at Yale during the American Revolutionary War, and, because of food shortages, many of his college classes were held in Glastonbury, Connecticut.Later, he served in the army.Having graduated from Yale in 1778, Webster wanted to continue his education in order to earn his law degree.He had to teach school in order to pay for his education.He set up many small schools that didnt survive, but he was a good teacher because instead of forcing his students to learn, like what most teachers did, he rewarded them.He earned his law degree in 1781, but did not practice law until 1789.Once he started he found the law was not to his liking.Webster did not have much money.In 1793, Alexander Hamilton lent him $1,500 to move to New York City to edit a newspaper.In December, he founded New Yorks first daily newspaper,American Minerva,and edited it for four years.For decades, he published textbooks, political essays, a report on some diseases, and newspaper articles for his party.He wrote so much that a modern list of his published works required 655 pages.Noah Webster died on May 28, 1843 and was buried in the Grove Street Cemetery.【语篇解读】这是一篇写人记叙文。介绍了美国著名词典编纂者被誉为“美国学术和教育之父”厄诺韦伯斯特的一些鲜为人知的人生经历。9Which of the following best describes Websters life at Yale?ATough.BSmooth.CNormal. DTiring.【解析】推理判断题。第二段中讲到,厄诺韦伯斯特在耶鲁大学四年赶上美国独立战争,食物缺乏。由此可知,他当时的耶鲁的生活是非常艰难的。故答案为A。【答案】A10. What did Noah want to be after graduation from Yale?AA teacher. BA lawyer.CA headmaster. DA scholar.【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“Having graduated from Yale in 1778, Webster wanted to continue his education in order to earn his law degree.”得知韦伯斯特从耶鲁大学毕业后,为了获得律师学位想继续学习。因此答案为B。【答案】B11What can we infer from Paragraph 4?AWebster was a most productive author.BWebster led a miserable life in New York City.CWebsters books added up to 655 pages.DWebster didnt write any political works.【解析】推理判断题。由第四段“For decades, he published textbooks, political essays, a report on some diseases, and newspaper articles for his party.He wrote so much that a modern list of his published works required 655 pages.”可知韦伯斯特出版过课本、政治论文、关于疾病的报道、报纸上刊登文章。这都表明韦伯斯特是一位多产的作者。故选A。 【答案】ADWhy College Is Not HomeThe college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy (自主性) and the development of adult identity.However, now they are becoming an extended period of adolescence, during which many of todays students are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.For previous generations, college was a decisive break from parental control;guidance and support needed to come from people of the same age and from within.In the past two decades,however,continued connection with and dependence on family, thanks to cellphones, emails and social media,have increased significantly.Some parents go so far as to help with coursework.Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility, universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility,college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation.This process involves “trying on” new ways of thinking about oneself both intellectually (在思维方面) and personally.While we should provide “safe spaces” within colleges, we must also make it safe to express opinions and challenge majority views.Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered by strict debate and questioning.Learning to deal with the social world is equally important.Because a college community (群体) differs from the family,many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging.If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern, they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community.Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior runs up against another characteristic of young adults:the response to being controlled by their elders.If acceptable social behavior is too strictly defined (规定) and controlled, the insensitive or aggressive behavior that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged.It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out, particularly when there are reasons to do so.Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency.What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescents desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world.Therefore, there is the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes and not places to experience intellectual growth.Every college discussion about community values,social climate and behavior should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and selfregulation,of the necessary tension between safety and selfdiscovery.【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。大学生走出了家门,还没有进入社会,因此他们的大学时期应该是从受家庭庇护到拥有自主性和承担起成年人的职责的一个过渡时期。但是随着手机等社交传媒的应用,大学生依旧受到家庭的管制和庇护。作者针对这一问题发表了自己的看法,探讨了校方应该如何处理。12Whats the authors attitude toward continued parental guidance to college students?ASympathetic. BDisapproving.CSupportive. DNeutral.【解析】推理判断题。第一段中作者提到大学期间应该让学生培养自主性,让他们向成年人的身份转变,但是如今的大学生没有肩负起成年人的职责;第二段中作者分析了原因,指出这是因为家长在孩子读大学之后还通过手机、邮件等方式帮助上大学的子女,结果,大学就成了与家庭一样的环境。由此可推知,作者对于这种现象是不赞成的,故选B项。【答案】B13The underlined word “passage” in Paragraph 2 means .Achange BchoiceCtext Dextension【解析】词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句子的前后语境可知,此处指把大学阶段作为从受到家庭的庇护到拥有自主性和担负起成年人职责的“转变”,故选A项change。【答案】A14According to the author,what role should college play?ATo develop a shared identity among students.BTo define and regulate students social behavior.CTo provide a safe world without tension for students.DTo foster students intellectual and personal development.【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,大学教育应该尝试新的方法培养学生在思维方面和个性方面的发展,故D项正确。由第四段内容可知,学生如果依靠管理方来规范他们的社交行为和思维模式,就不能面对在一个更大和复杂的社交环境中寻找自己的身份带来的挑战,故排除A项(应该是鼓励他们finding an identity);由第五段内容可知,大学监管和塑造学生的行为表现会引起学生的反感,故排除B项;最后一段说,大学在社会价值、风尚和行为规范方面的讨论应该包括对学生自治和自我规范的发展的重要性的认识、对安全和自我发现之间必要的紧张关系的认识,故排除C项。【答案】D15Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?I:IntroductionP:PointSp:Subpoint(次要点)C:Conclusion【解析】文章结构题。通读全文可知,第一、二段起到以目前大学教育现状导入的作用,第三段是第一个主要点(大学教育应该尝试新的方法培养学生在思维方面和个性方面的发展),第四段是第二个主要点(培养学生的社会实践能力),第五、六段是第二个主要点的次要点,第七段是结论(大学探讨应该包括意识到培养学生自主性、自我规范等方面的重要性)。【答案】C.阅读七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)A new report says plastics are responsible for $13 billion in damage to the oceans and the undersea environment.The findings were announced recently at a United Nations conference. 16 Plastic thrown away carelessly makes its way into rivers and other waterways. 17 After a while, it collects in the sea.And plastic never goes away.Plastic is not biodegradabledestroyed by bacteria or natural processes.Instead, it just breaks up into smaller pieces over time.The oceans contain a lot of chemicals and other pollutants. 18 That means harmful material may get into our food supply. 19 Human beings cause pollution and they can take steps to stop it.They can use fewer single use product containers and throw plastics away correctly.Plastic recycling programs also workwhere old bottles and other plastics are collected, broken down and used to make new products.We could reuse bottles in our households many times if we wish to, rather than end it after the first use.We could, when we get rid of that plastic, recycle it and reuse it, which replaces the need for raw materials.The report also calls on companies to improve methods for using plastics. 20 And it calls for information about the way plastic is thrown out or removed from use.By putting a new value on plastic, industry has a special reason to clean up the environment.But all of the companies must join to deal with the problem.AThen, fish may eat the plastics.BIt asks for them to better measure and direct plastic use.CThe plastic eventually reaches coastal areas and ocean waters.DThe report tells about harm to sea life and what might be done to improve the situation.EPlastics should be gathered together and reused.FBut people can make a big difference.GIt is convenient to use plastic bags in everyday life.【答案】1620DCAFB.完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)I first got to know Rose while working in a hospital kitchen.When I arrived at 6 am., Rose was already there.“Hi,Im Janet.”I tried to be 21 ,although I already knew Rose was hard to work with.
