A.Stopped.B.Minded.C.Liked.D.Admitted.答案A解析词义猜测题。由下文内容“I often worked nearly a hundred hours a week.Even my mom stopped calling me.I used my phone only for medical

again.答案D解析细节理解题。由第三段最后一句可知,Todd给作者打电话的目的是让他再次从事摄影。3.What decision did the author make finally?A.Returning to photography.B.Trying to be a master doctor.C.Taking lots of photos of doctors.D.Improving his photographic skills.答案A解析细节理解题。由最后一段最后三句可知,作者最终意识到他很精通摄影,但他还需要20年的时间才能掌握作为一名医生所需要的技能,所以作者最终决定重返摄影行业。B主题语境:人与社会历史典故建议用时:5实际用时:正答率:/4 Moolah.Benjamins.Stacks.Big ones.Cheddar.We have a lot of terms for money in the U.S.While the meaning behind some of these terms may seem obvious,its less intuitive for others.“Bucks” is one example of the latter.So why do we call dollars “bucks”?A widely held belief involves the use of the word “buck” to mean “a male animal;especially,a male deer or antelope.” Back in the 18th century,European settlers and Native Americans often traded buckskins,or deerskins,as a form of currency.One of the earliest references to bucks as currency is a 1748 journal entry from Conrad Weiser,a Pennsylvania Dutch pioneer,interpreter and diplomat.In his journal,he described the rate for a cask of whiskey as “5 bucks,” reportedly in reference to deerskins.The journal also cited a man who was “robbed of the value of 300 bucks.”A popular theory relates the term “buck” to the use of deerskins as a commodity(货物) of exchange.One deerskin wasnt necessarily the equivalent of one “buck,” as various factors could determine the value,like the size,quality,age of the deer and more.Official U.S.dollars werent minted until several decades after Weisers journal entries,but it appears buckskins and the word buck stuck around in the currency arena.Yet another theory relates “buck” to the game of poker.A knife with a buckhorn handle in the 19th century American frontier,was passed around to indicate whose turn it was to deal.Many believe the buckhorn handled knife in poker is the source of the phrase “pass the buck,” which means to shift the responsibility for something to someone else.The idea is that a player who did not want to be the dealer could pass the buckhorn knife,that is “pass the buck,” and make the next player take up the responsibility of dealing.Clearly,theres no strong agreement on the origin of the word “buck” for dollar,but most of us can probably agree that it might be nice to have a few more in our bank accounts.【语篇解读】人们有时候也将美元叫做 buck,但许多人并不知道关于这种用法在历史上是有许多理论依据的。4.What does the underlined word “intuitive” in the first paragraph probably mean?A.Clear.B.Major.C.Cheap.D.Meaningful.答案A解析词义猜测题。由前面句中的While和obvious可知,此处应表示虽然一些术语背后的意义很明显,但其他的术语却没有这么“清楚的”意思。5.According to the text,Conrad Weiser was the first to . A.work as an interpreterB.be robbed of bucksC.write a journal entryD.refer to bucks as currency答案D解析细节理解题。由第二段第三句可知,Conrad Weiser是第一个把buck作为货币的人。6.When did official U.S.dollars come into use?A.In the year 1748.B.Decades after 1748.C.Before Weiser wrote his journal entry.D.As soon as Weiser wrote his journal entry.答案B解析细节理解题。由第三段最后一句中的“until several decades after Weisers journal entries”可知,美元是在Weiser完成日记账之后几十年才被制造出来。7.In the 19th century,who is the dealer in the game of poker?A.Anyone who played the game.B.Anyone who passed the buck on.C.The person who got the buckhorn knife.D.The person who won the game at last.答案C解析细节理解题。由最后一段中的第二句可知,在19世纪,人们在玩纸牌游戏时拿到鹿角柄的就是发牌员。此题易误选B项。当时人们在玩纸牌时,带有鹿角柄的刀子会在人们之间传递,当刀子传递给一个人时也就意味着把责任传递给他,因此拿到这把刀子的人才是发牌员。C主题语境:人与社会名人传记建议用时:5实际用时:正答率:/4 Born in 1928 in Nanjing,Jiangsu,Yu Guangzhong,who spent his younger days on the Chinese mainland before moving to Taiwan in his 20s,passed away on Dec 14,2017.Nostalgia(乡愁)which Yu wrote in his 40s to voice his homesickness for his childhood motherlandbecame his most well-known work,since it resonated(共鸣) with many who were far away from home.The poem appeared in Chinese school textbooks and was adapted into songs.However,the fact that Nostalgia became so famous also disturbed Yu because among the over 1,000 poems that hed written,Nostalgia seemed to be the only one that the public ever talked about and appreciated.“Id like to think of Nostalgia as my business card,but unfortunately it got too big that it kept people from seeing the real me,” Yu once said,according to China Youth Daily.Indeed,writing poems is only one of Yus many talents.Great Chinese writer Liang Shiqiu (1903-1987) once spoke of Yu,“He writes poems with his right hand and proses(散文) with his left.There is hardly anyone who matches his achievements at the time.”Yu was also a translator.Yu spoke French,German,Spanish,Italian and Russian,and published 13 translation collections.And he used his talents well.He spent his whole life working,even in his 80s.Yu said in October that whenever people asked whether he still kept the habit of writing up,he would always answer,“Why dont you ask me if Im still breathing?”To him,writing was an inseparable(不可分割的) part of life that shouldnt be affected by age or anything else.Now that Yu has taken his last breath,his writing career has finally been put to rest.But the many books he wrote and translated will continue to carry the nostalgia people have for him.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了著名诗人余光中的生平和他的成就。8.How old was Yu Guangzhong when he died?A.86.B.87.C.88.D.89.答案D解析细节理解题。由第一段第一句“Born

believe are pieces of a meteor(流星) that fell to the earth last year.The objects were discovered off the coast of the United States in the Pacific Ocean.The crew of the Nautilus,a private research ship,recovered the rock particles(颗粒).The Nautilus is operated by the Ocean Exploration Trust.The group says its aim at present is to examine areas of the ocean that have never been explored before.The search was launched after US government weather stations observed a large meteorite exploding some months ago.The explosion lit up the sky and sent the rock particles to the earth.The meteorite fall was the largest recorded over the United States in at least 20 years.The team includes scientists from NASA,the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary and the University of Washington.The scientists examined what they believe were two small meteorite fragments.Further testing is needed before they can confirm that the material came from the explosion.The Nautilus is equipped with two remotely operated vehicles(ROVs),called Hercules and Argus.These robotic submarines help researchers find and collect materials from the seafloor.The fact that the particles landed in the ocean,instead of on land,means larger pieces may have survived and can be studied.For this reason,scientists decided to launch the first intentional search for meteorites from the ocean,Until the latest research,scientists had only accidentally discovered a small number of meteorites from drilling operations.The objects recovered from the bottom of the sea likely came from the recent explosion for two main reasons.First,meteorite particles are basically made of glassy materials that do not tend to last long in seawater.Secondly,they came from what looked like a small hole on the seafloor.Some evidence shows that they came from something that fell.【语篇解读】 科学家们发现了他们认为是去年坠落地球的流星的碎片。这些物体是在美国太平洋沿岸发现的。12.What is the current goal of the crew of the Ocean Exploration Trust?A.To

particles.C.They like to explore strange sea areas.D.They have better submarine equipment.答案B解析推理判断题。由第四段第三句可知,科学家更喜欢在海洋中寻找流星是因为他们可能会发现更大的岩石颗粒。故选B项。15.What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?A.Offer clues for the search.B.Give reasons to support a guess.C.Stress the importance of the event.D.Describe the process of the search.答案B解析推理判断题。由最后一段第一句可知,从海底发现的物体可能来自最近的爆炸,主要有两个原因。作者在最后一段是想给出支持猜测的理由。故选B项。第二组A主题语境:人与社会特色餐厅建议用时:4实际用时:正答率:/3 Do you want to go out to eat with your kids?Here are some restaurants that are good
