12、y with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics.In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the decline of class and classless society in Britain.

13、ent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and political

14、ly obvious, yet it remains an important part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification.One unchanging aspect of a British persons class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding li

15、ke a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice. Most people said this accent sounded educated and soft. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional city accents. These accents were seen as common and ugly. However, a similar study of British accents

16、in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, h

17、ave begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song Common People puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may want to live like common people they can never appreciate the realit

18、y of a working-class life.【答案】：21-24 A D B C 這是一篇說明文。這篇短文給我們講述了在英國社會中，階級劃分是重要的一部分。作者在短文中給我們介紹了兩項(xiàng)調(diào)查，通過調(diào)查的結(jié)果我們可以看到，英國社會里的階級劃分沒有消失，它是英國社會重要的一部分。21. A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern Britain _. A. people regard themselves socially different B. most people belong to middle class C. it

19、 is easy to recognize a persons class D. it is time to end class distinction【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第二句A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percen

20、t thought there were still sharp class differences.可知，關(guān)于“階級消亡”的說法，在英國對大眾進(jìn)行了一個調(diào)查，結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)90%的人們?nèi)匀话炎约簞澐衷谝欢ǖ碾A層中；73%的人認(rèn)為階級是英國社會一個必不可少的部分。由此可知人們?nèi)匀徽J(rèn)為他們在社會中是有區(qū)別的，故選A。22. The word “stratification” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _. A.variety B. qualification C. authority D. division【解析】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容可知，

21、根據(jù)一項(xiàng)關(guān)于英國社會階級是否開始消亡的調(diào)查可知，絕大多數(shù)人仍然認(rèn)為英國社會中存在不同的階級，這是英國社會中重要的一部分。由此可知，英國人好像對階級劃分非常熱衷。stratification劃分，故選D。23. British attitudes towards accent _. A. are based on regional status B. have a long tradition C. are shared by the Americans D. have changed in recent years【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段最后一句This suggests that Br

22、itish attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.可知，英國人對待口音的態(tài)度有很深的根源，是建立在階級偏見的基礎(chǔ)上的。故選B。24. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The middle class is expanding B. A persons accent reflects his class C. Class is a key part of British society D. Each class has unique c

23、haracteristics.【解析】主旨大意題。這篇短文給我們講述了在英國社會中，階級劃分是重要的一部分。作者在短文中給我們介紹了兩項(xiàng)調(diào)查，其中一項(xiàng)告訴我們大多數(shù)人們覺得階級是英國社會必不可少的一部分；另一項(xiàng)調(diào)查是關(guān)于人們說話的口音，英國和美國的調(diào)查結(jié)果正好相反，也說明了英國階級劃分的根源非常深。由此可知C選項(xiàng)：階級是英國社會中的一個重要部分，符合短文的大意。BIf you could have a superpower, what would it be? Other than flying and communicating with someone from his mind (whi

24、ch, lets be honest, would probably actually be awful), breathing underwater is one of the favorites. You can hang out with Aquaman and Ursula, and when the end of the world comes and were all living under water, youll be fine.With this in mind, a student at the Royal College of Art, London has desig

25、ned a 3D-printed amphibious garment called AMPHIBIO essentially a set of gills(鰓) for this very purpose.According to Jun Kamei, a biomimicry designer and materials scientist, it is for a future where humankind lives in the water.With the world set for a global temperature increase of 3.2C (5.7F) by

26、2100, rising sea levels are a very real threat to large coastal cities, potentially affecting up to 2 billion people or 26 percent of the current global population.Kameis little device uses a specially designed porous(多孔的) material that fills oxygen again in the water and releases carbon dioxide. It

27、 is inspired by water-diving insects that create their own little scuba diving set by creating a protective bubble of air around their body thanks to their water repellent(防水的) skin.The technology is easily 3D-printable too, which will be great when we need them together. These gills could replace h

28、eavy and clumsy scuba equipment, making it more similar to free diving but for longer. This could have immediate applications for underwater rescue plans the 12 boys rescued by divers from a flooded cave in Thailand, for example, where it took weeks to work out how to get the boys and the vital brea

29、thing equipment through those narrow tunnels.So far, the tech has only been tested as a working prototype, not actually on humans, so the dream may have to be on hold for now. And scaling up and testing on humans is Kameis next plan. This may sound unbelievable, but Kamei insists he has a much more

30、optimistic vision of the future.25. What can be inferred about Aquaman and Ursula? A. They can read minds. B. They can breathe underwater. C. They often cause huge disasters. D. They cant live underwater.這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一種由自然物種獲得靈感而設(shè)計(jì)出的叫做AMPHIBIO的潛水裝置，可以取代沉重笨拙的水肺設(shè)備，使其更像自由潛水，但時間更長?！敬鸢浮?5-28 BDCA【解析】推理

31、判斷題。根據(jù)第一段Other than flying and communicating with someone from his mind (which, lets be honest, would probably actually be awful), breathing underwater is one of the favorites.

32、e.可知，除了坐飛機(jī)和用意念與人交流，水下呼吸是最受歡迎的方式之一。你可以跟Aquaman和 Ursula一起玩，當(dāng)世界末日來臨時，我們都生活在水下，你會沒事的。所以可推測Aquaman和Ursula可以在水下呼吸。故選B。26. What can we learn about AMPHIBIO? A. It can produce oxygen in the water. B. Its user can communicate with others from their mind. C. It is the unique useful tool against the threat of

33、rising sea levels. D. The designer drew his inspiration from a certain natural species.【解析】 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段最后一句It is inspired by water-diving insects that create their own little scuba diving set by creating a protective bubble of air around their body thanks to their water repellent(防水的) skin.可知，這款潛水器的

34、靈感來自潛水昆蟲，它們的皮膚防水，在身體周圍形成一個保護(hù)性的空氣泡，從而創(chuàng)造出自己的小型水肺潛水裝置。即AMPHIBIO的設(shè)計(jì)師是從某種自然物種中獲得了靈感。故選D。27. Why did the author mentioned the rescue of the boys in Thailand?A. To present the success of the new device. B. To compare the new device with the old one.C. To prove the advantage of the new device. D. To show th

35、e new device is easily 3D-printable.【解析】 推理判斷題。第六段第二句These gills could replace heavy and clumsy scuba equipment, making it more similar to free diving but for longer.可知，這些“鰓”可以取代沉重笨拙的水肺設(shè)備，使其更像自由潛水，但時間更長。接著下文提到在泰國營救男孩的例子是為了進(jìn)一步證明這種新設(shè)備的優(yōu)勢。故選C。28.

36、sign? A. Objective.B. indifferent.C. Doubtful.D.

37、amei insists he has a much more optimistic vision of the future.（到目前為止，這項(xiàng)技術(shù)還只是作為一個工作原型進(jìn)行測試，還沒有在人體上進(jìn)行，所以這個夢想可能要暫時擱置。Kamei的下一個計(jì)劃是擴(kuò)大規(guī)模并在人體上進(jìn)行測試。這聽起來可能難以置信，但Kamei堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為他對未來有更樂觀的看法。）可知，作者只是客觀論述這項(xiàng)新設(shè)計(jì)未來的情況，沒有發(fā)表自己的看法，因此作者的態(tài)度是客觀的。故選AV. 微寫作(根據(jù)提示完成小作文)A最近你班同學(xué)就“人類是否應(yīng)該進(jìn)行宇宙探索”這個問題進(jìn)行了激烈的討論。有人認(rèn)為，探索宇宙不僅讓人類更好地了解宇宙的發(fā)展，還

38、可以用來指導(dǎo)農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)，以及把一些探索太空的高新技術(shù)用于現(xiàn)實(shí)生活；也有一些人認(rèn)為探索太空花掉了大量的人力物力；影響了人們的生活水平。請你根據(jù)以下情況寫一篇報(bào)告并發(fā)表自己的觀點(diǎn)。注意：1.寫作內(nèi)容應(yīng)包括以上全部要點(diǎn)，可適當(dāng)發(fā)揮，使上下文連貫；2詞數(shù)80左右。_范文一Recently we have held a heated discussion about the problem whether mankind should explore space or not.Different people about it has different opinions.Some people hold

39、 the view that space exploration will not only enable us to understand how the universe develop but also help farming to grow more food and apply the new technology to our life. While other people argue that we should stop exploring space because it costs too much time and money.From my point of vie

40、w，it is very necessary for human to explore space.Because it not only can provide the world with many different benefits，but also can solve peoples shortterm and longterm problems.范文二Space Exploration Is a Waste of Time and Money Everyone gets excited by the news of the most recent space flights, an

41、d I too share in peoples sense of awe and wonder at the photos from space that we see. Having said that, it is hard to believe that the high cost of space flight is justified. We should be spending our money more wisely, on what people need. I cannot understand spending all this money on expensive research and experiments when so many people need food. Around the world, millions of people are hungry and dying of starvation. On the other hand, we hear on TV that for as little as a dollar a day, a child in Africa can be saved. Considering the billions spent on space travel, i
