2、r and some windows. it is more complicated than that.this is one of the reasons that celebrating the new year has become very important for me. i do not care about “new years resolutions (新年計劃)”living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person i want to be and how i will live my li

3、fe, so i dont feel the need to plan for change：i live for change.new years eve has become my time to reconnect with the friends, which makes me feel at home. every year we try to reunite wherever we are, and remember the time when we knew each other so well that we felt like a family. it is a moment

4、 to reconnect and get to know each other again. last year, we travelled to a cottage in ireland where we had no internet and no neighbours. in the middle of the countryside, away from our constantly changing lives, we were able to become like a little family again.this year, we went to barcelona. it

5、 was a very big change. we were surrounded by culture and life and joy. there were bars and parties. it was different, but one thing stayed very much the samei felt at home again and we felt like a family again.a lot of people feel that new years eve cannot live up to expectations. ideas such as the

6、 “new years kiss” and “resolutions” create a lot of pressure for people to have a night to remember, a night that will change their lives and perhaps make the next year worth living. i think those people are missing the point. why cant new year be about friends?本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。過去兩年作者在國外旅游、生活，作者認為家不只是一個地方

7、，而是一種感覺；新年是和家人、朋友團聚的時刻，作者經(jīng)常通過和朋友們一起旅游來慶祝新年。1what does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to?afamily.bliving abroad.chome.dstaying with friends.答案：c解析：代詞指代題。根據(jù)第一段倒數(shù)第二句“home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows”可知，家不再是一幅有前門和一些窗戶的房子的圖畫；結(jié)合畫線詞所在句“it is more comp

8、licated than that”可知，該句的主語it指代前一句中的“home”。故c項正確。2why doesnt the author care about “new years resolutions”？anew years resolutions cannot be reached.bhis lifestyle makes him always ready for change.cits meaningless to make any big changes in life.dmaking new years resolutions creates much pressure.答案：

9、b解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第二句“i do not care about new years resolutions (新年計劃)living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person i want to be and how i will live my life, so i dont feel the need to plan for change：i live for change”可知，作者的生活不斷變化，所以他認為沒有必要在意新年計劃，故b項正確。3what does the author try t

10、o convey through his experiences in ireland and barcelona?alife is peaceful and enjoyable.bliving abroad is a happy experience.cstaying with friends makes one feel at home.dtravelling abroad enriches ones life experience.答案：c解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段尾句“in the middle of the countryside, away from our constantly

11、 changing lives, we were able to become like a little family again”可知，和朋友待在鄉(xiāng)村的中心，遠離不斷變化的生活，作者找到了家的感覺；根據(jù)第四段尾句“it was different, but one thing stayed very much the samei felt at home again and we felt like a family again”可知，作者和朋友們在一起，感覺又回到了家，感覺又像一家人了。據(jù)此可知，文章中提及作者和朋友在愛爾蘭和巴塞羅那的經(jīng)歷旨在說明和朋友待在一起能讓人找到家的感覺。故c項

12、正確。4which of the following can be the best title for the text?anew years celebration：how?btrue friendship：what?cliving abroad：comfortable or complicated?dchange：plan it or make it?答案：a解析：標題判斷題。通讀全文可知，文章主要講述了作者由于常年旅居在國外，對于慶祝新年和新年計劃有著不同的思考：有朋友的地方就有家的感覺，變化著的生活不需要新年計劃，故a項最適合作文章標題。btrees, some of the tal

13、lest in the world, towered above hannah griffiths and her colleagues each morning as they walked deep into the rainforest in the maliau basin in borneo, where they had set up a set of experiments to look at the ecological effects of small creatures: termites (白蟻)termites get a_bum_rap. they make hea

14、dlines for chewing up billions of dollars of property each year in the us. and they are responsible for something like two percent of global carbon emissions, simply as a result of their huge populations and preference for chewing through carbonrich materials. a whole industry is aiming at killing t

15、hem.but they play a key role in many natural ecosystems. scientists have known for years that in tropical (熱帶的) forests, termites chew up fallen leaves and dead wood, keeping the fallen material under control and letting nutrients from the dead material back into the system to be used by other plant

16、s, insects, and animals. but they didnt know exactly how important the insects were in keeping the forest healthy and functional, so they removed termites from a particular spot in the forest and saw how it responded.as luck would have it, hannah griffiths and her colleagues started their experiment

17、 when the forest was hit by an extreme drought. during the nondrought years, they saw there wasnt much difference between the normal plots and the ones where theyd removed the termites. but during the drought, the effects were marked. what they found was unexpected: in the termiterich areas, the soi

18、l stayed slightly wet, more tree seedlings sprouted (抽芽), and the system was full of activity despite the long, hard dry spell.for griffiths, it was only because they happened to study the drought that they could pick out the real importance of termites to the system, she points out. “and that rings

19、 alarm bells in my head，” she says, “because it makes me think, well, what else dont we know? if we start damaging biological communities, we dont know what that will do.”本文是一篇說明文。白蟻因每年在美國吞噬數(shù)十億美元的房產(chǎn)而登上新聞頭條，它們的碳排放量約占全球的2%。人們想要殺死它們。但是科學家做試驗表明，白蟻對自然生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的作用是不可估量的。5which of the following best explains “a

20、 bum rap” underlined in paragraph 2?aunfair blame.bwide popularity.cpublic attention.dspecial preference.答案：a解析：詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段第二句和第三段第一句“but they play a key role in many natural ecosystems”可知，白蟻因每年在美國吞噬數(shù)十億美元的房產(chǎn)而登上新聞頭條，人們想殺死它們，但它們在許多自然生態(tài)系統(tǒng)中發(fā)揮關(guān)鍵的作用，由此可推知，畫線詞所在句表示白蟻受到了不公平的責備。6what have scientists learned

21、about termites?athey do serious harm to tropical rainforests.bthey contribute a lot to the ecosystem they live in.cthey act as food for other plants, insects and animals.dthey speed up the loss of nutrition in the rainforest.答案：b解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)對第三段的整體理解，尤其是第二句中的“termites chew up fallen leaves and dead w

22、ood, keeping the fallen material under control and letting nutrients from the dead material back into the system to be used by other plants, insects, and animals”可知，白蟻會啃食落葉和枯木，并讓枯木中的營養(yǎng)物質(zhì)重新進入生態(tài)系統(tǒng)，供其他植物、昆蟲和動物使用。由此可知，科學家們已經(jīng)知道白蟻對它們居住的生態(tài)系統(tǒng)貢獻很大。7what can we infer from the finding of griffiths experiment?a

23、termites help rainforests survive climate change.btermites prefer drought years to nondrought ones.ctermites benefit more from the forest during the drought.dtermites enjoy eating tree seedlings during the drought.答案：a解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段最后一句“what they found was.hard dry spell”可知，在白蟻密集的地區(qū)，土壤保持濕潤，更多的樹苗抽芽，生

24、態(tài)系統(tǒng)在漫長干旱的時期充滿活力。由此可推知，白蟻幫助雨林渡過氣候變化。8what does griffiths tell us in the last paragraph?atermites are now in danger of extinction.btermites damage biological communities.cwe should think twice before damaging a species.dwe should study the drought to improve the system.答案：c解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章的最后一段，尤其是“if we

25、 start damaging biological communities, we dont know what that will do”可知，如果我們開始破壞生物群落，我們不知道會發(fā)生什么，由此可推知，griffiths在最后一段告訴我們在破壞一個物種之前，我們應(yīng)該三思而后行。.七選五people have always wanted to know what the future will look like. then, how can we? _1_ the world has changed a lot in the last 150 years, but we humans a

26、re driven by the same basic needs as we were 150 years ago, such as food, sleep, the feeling of being appreciated and loved. _2_ no. in addition, generally speaking, the inventions for the last 150 years have been a human effort for freedom and communication, to be able to get in control of the time

27、 and world. since there is still much to do in this area, this will be the focus at least for the next 150 years.but why do we need to predict the future? predicting the future is important for two reasons: first, we need to start to think about what kind of future we would like for ourselves and to

28、 pass on to the next generation. _3_how about the virtual worlds? it might be in the future to experience the sand between your toes, and hear the waves, just lying in your bed at home. _4_ so, even if a great invention is there for an affordable price, itll never take the place of the common experi

29、ence if it is not real._5_ what well see in the next 50 years is the transition (過渡) from an oildependent society to a new society. here therell be new medicine, continued exploration of space, challenges in the climate change, and new inventions that make life a little easier.awill this change in t

30、he next 150 years?bso what will the future look like then?cpredicting the future can help us in many ways.dwell, to understand the future, you must know the past.ehowever, youll never get the feeling of being there.fhowever, no matter how real the experience will feel, it doesnt happen for real.gthe

31、n we need to know what decisions we need to make today that will give the best result in the future.人們總想知道未來會是什么樣子的，其實要想展望未來，必須了解過去。不管世界如何變化，人們的基本需求如食物、睡眠、被欣賞和愛的感覺等不會改變，未來的虛擬世界也不會代替真實的世界。但是可以預(yù)知，未來五十年里，世界將從依靠石油的社會過渡到新的社會，人們的生活會更好。1d解析：根據(jù)空處下文可知，在過去的150年里，世界發(fā)生了巨大的變化；結(jié)合空前一句可推知，空處承上啟下，說明我們想要展望未來，就要了解過去，故

32、d項符合語境。2a解析：根據(jù)空前一句可知，在過去的150年里，人們的基本需求如食物、睡眠、被欣賞和愛的感覺沒有變化，結(jié)合空后的“no”可知，空處應(yīng)是一個疑問句，并與空前一句講人的基本需求相呼應(yīng)，故a項與此處匹配。3g解析：根據(jù)該段第二句可知，該段主要講的是預(yù)知未來的兩個原因，空前一句講的是第一個原因，即需要思考自己想要的并傳遞給下一代的未來是什么樣的；據(jù)此可知，空處陳述第二個原因，即需要知道做出怎樣的決定才能給未來帶來最好的結(jié)果，故g項正確。其中g(shù)項中的“then we need to”與空前一句中的“first, we need to”相呼應(yīng)。4f解析：根據(jù)空后一句可知，即使一項重大發(fā)明的價

33、格我們可以承受，但是虛擬體驗絕不會代替真實體驗，結(jié)合空處上文可推知，f項符合語境，銜接上下文。5b解析：根據(jù)空處下文可知，該段介紹了對未來五十年的展望；從依靠石油的社會過渡到新的社會；未來的生活更好。故b項與此處匹配。.語法填空many athletes have been told that smiling while _1_ (sweat) will make their efforts feel easier. a marathon runner smiled widely through the final miles of his fastestever marathon; afte

34、rward, he said what he had hoped _2_ (be) that the smiling would relax him to the finish line. but there has been little solid scientific evidence to support this idea. in recent years several studies _3_ (examine) whether deliberately smiling can make changes to how people feel psychologically during races. _4_ few have looked at the physical effect _5_ sports performance.researchers decided _6_ (gather) a group of experienced recreational runners and have them alternately smile broadly as they ran. many of the runners f
