They helped the trees survive.The neighbours praised Sam for what he had done. Sam told them about his experience of planting trees. But he owed all the kindnesses to his teacher and mother.

They said Sam was a role model and that they would ask their children to learn the skills from Sam. Sam felt proud and decided to develop a better community and protect the environment with them.详细解析阅读A篇【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍几处美国国家公园最好的露营地。21.细节理解题。根据Painted Desert, Petrified Forest National Park, AZ中的“This is free camping, wild camping. (这是免费的，野外露营。)”可知，石化森林国家公园露营地不收费。故选D。22.细节理解题。根据Watchman Campground, Zion National Park, UT中的“Note, however, that this campground is extremely popular. Reservations are absolutely recommended from March through November. (不过请注意，这个露营地非常受欢迎。从3月到11月绝对建议预订。)”可知，如果你去守望者营地，你需要在旺季预订场地。故选D。23.细节理解题。根据文章标题“Best Campgrounds in U.S. National Parks (美国国家公园最好的露营地)”及四个国家公园的介绍可知，这四个国家公园共同之处在于都是户外帐篷营地。故选A。阅读B篇【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了建筑师布莱恩·伯格如何搭建稳固的卡片建筑，以及建筑给他的感悟。24.细节理解题。根据第二段中“How can he make them stand firm?  He begins by balancing four cards to form a box with arms sticking out, which forms a grid. Then he repeats the grid over and over, expanding outward, to build a solid base.  After that, Bryan lays cards around the edge and then across the top to make the floor for the next story of the building.(他怎能使他们站立得住呢？他首先平衡四张卡片，形成一个盒子，手臂伸出来，形成一个网格。然后他一遍又一遍地重复网格，向外扩展，以建立一个坚实的基础。之后，布莱恩把卡片铺在边缘，然后铺在顶部，为建筑的下一层铺好地板)”可知，重复的网格是让布莱恩的纸牌建筑屹立不倒的基础。故选B项。25.主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Interestingly enough, Bryan did not get the idea from any of the physical books.  Instead, he discovered the unique way to build solid structures using a trick from nature.  The secret is plant cells.  Plant cells have hard walls and fit together tightly to form a grid that helps leaves and stems to keep their shape.  Bees use the same kind of pattern to create honeycombs.  Bryan borrowed this idea to invent repeating grids of card cells.(有趣的是，布莱恩并没有从任何一本实体书中得到这个想法。相反，他发现了利用大自然的技巧建造坚固结构的独特方法。秘密在于植物细胞。植物细胞有坚硬的细胞壁，紧密地结合在一起形成网格，帮助叶子和茎保持形状。蜜蜂用同样的模式来建造蜂巢。布莱恩借鉴了这个想法，发明了重复的纸牌单元格)”可知，本段主要讲述了布莱恩搭建稳固结构灵感的来源。故选A项。26.推理判断题。根据第四段中“Out of curiosity, people who come to see the card buildings sometimes push and poke to see if they have clips inside, but find they don’t!  Once, when Bryan built a card castle at Disney World, birds kept trying to land on it.  A squirrel managed to take down one wall and did plenty of damage inside.  But, amazingly, the castle didn’t collapse.(出于好奇，来参观卡牌建筑的人有时会推推搡搡，看看里面是否有夹子，但发现没有!有一次，布莱恩在迪士尼世界搭了一个纸牌城堡，鸟儿们一直想降落在上面。一只松鼠成功地推倒了一面墙，并在里面造成了很大的破坏。但令人惊讶的是，城堡并没有倒塌)”可推知，本段提到迪士尼纸牌城堡是为了证明布莱恩牌的力量是有效的。故选B项。27.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I also learn a lot from taking them apart — the destruction shows me where the weak points are.  That is what my next stronger buildings really need.(我也从拆卸它们中学到了很多东西——破坏告诉我弱点在哪里。这是我的下一个更坚固的建筑真正需要的)”可知，布莱恩学到了自己不足的地方，然后下次改进。由此推知，布莱恩在最后一段表达的人生哲学是：一个人只有超越自我，才能完善自己。故选C项。阅读C篇【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究发现歌手们似乎都有一种天生的外语天赋。28.细节理解题。根据第一段“It’s something that the American singer Taylor Swift does a good job of making her French sound realistic in front of fans during her tours. “A foreign accent is a piece of cake for the singers.” says Susanne Reiterer, a nurolinguistics researcher at Vienna University. (美国歌手泰勒·斯威夫特在巡演期间就擅长在歌迷面前使她的法语听起来逼真。“外国口音对歌手来说是小菜一碟。”维也纳大学的神经语言学研究员苏珊娜·韦勒说。)”可知，在第一段中，作者想告诉我们泰勒·斯威夫特模仿语言的能力。故选C。29.词句猜测题。根据划线词后半句“then you have more power basically in your hearing areas. (那么你的听觉区域就会更强大。)”可知，如果一个人在音乐方面有很强的倾向，那么其听觉区域就会更强大。所以predisposition为“倾向；条件”之意。故选B。30.推理判断题。根据第二段“ Reiterer’s team found that singers had an advantage over instrumentalists in foreign language imitation, but both singers and instrumentalists outperformed non-musicians.(韦勒的研究小组发现，歌手在模仿外语方面比乐器演奏者更有优势，但歌手和乐器演奏者的表现都优于非音乐家。)”和第三段““Since talking uses the same biological makeup as singing, the two must be related both biologically and neurobiologically. It’s Heschl’s gyrus(颞横回) that works. You can change a lot by training, but something is pre-given as well, “Reiterer adds.” Biology plays a leading role. If you have a strong predisposition musically, then you have more power basically in your hearing areas. You can discriminate sounds better.”(“因为说话和唱歌使用相同的生物组成，所以两者在生物学和神经生物学上都有联系。是额颞回起作用。你可以通过训练改变很多，但有些东西也是预先注定的。生物学起着主导作用。如果你在音乐方面有很强的倾向，那么你的听觉区域就会更强大。你可以更好地辨别声音。”)”可推断，韦勒想在她的研究里找到是什么决定了口音模仿。故选A。31.主旨大意题。根据第一段“Singers seem to have an inborn talent for foreign tongues—most notably when it comes to pronunciation and accent. (歌手们似乎有一种天生的外语天赋——尤其是在发音和口音方面。)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍了研究发现歌手们似乎都有一种天生的外语天赋。所以“A good singer, a potential language master(好的歌手，潜在的语言大师)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。阅读D篇【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了维生素C有诸多好处还没有得到证实，对一些人来说，服用维生素C要慎重。32.细节理解题。根据第一段“In large population studies, people who eat lots of fruits and vegetables high in vitamin C appear to have a reduced risk for various types of cancer, including cancers of the mouth and lung. But it’s not clear that these benefits come specifically from vitamin C. The Age-Related Eye Disease Study found that a daily supplement containing 500 mg of vitamin C can help slow the progress of macular degeneration, an age-related eye disease that causes vision loss”（在大规模人群研究中，吃大量富含维生素C的水果和蔬菜的人患各种癌症的风险似乎降低了，包括口腔癌和肺癌。但目前尚不清楚这些益处是否特别来自维生素C。与年龄相关的眼病研究发现，每天补充500毫克维生素C有助于减缓黄斑变性的进展，黄斑变性是一种与年龄有关的眼病，会导致视力下降。）由此可知，维生素C可以帮助减缓某些疾病的进展。故选C项。33.细节理解题。根据第三段“Most of the evidence shows that high-dose vitamin C will, at most, shorten a cold by one day.”（大多数证据表明，大剂量的维生素C最多能使感冒时间缩短一天）可知，维生素C对治疗普通感冒的作用是它最多能减轻一天的感冒。故选C项。34.细节理解题。根据最后一段“The recommended vitamin C dosage per day for healthy women is 75 mg per day.”（健康女性每天维生素C的推荐剂量是75毫克。）可知，建议健康女性每天摄入75毫克维生素C。故选A项。35.推理判断题。短文介绍了维生素C有诸多好处还没有得到证实，对一些人来说，服用维生素C要慎重。所以短文来自于科学杂志。故选D项。阅读七选五【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要针对如何更好地游览博物馆给出一些建议。36.根据下文“However, the experience of visiting a museum could be quite disappointing if not done right, even for the experienced museumgoers.(然而，如果做得不对，参观博物馆的经历可能会非常令人失望，即使是对经验丰富的博物馆游客来说也是如此)”可知，这里说的是参观博物馆要合理安排，G项“一般来说，参观博物馆没有对错之分”符合题意，故选择G项。37.根据下文“No matter how much you’re enjoying yourself, many museums can take hours, days, or even weeks to fully explore.(无论你多么享受，许多博物馆都可能需要数小时、数天甚至数周的时间才能完全探索)”可知，这里说的是参观博物馆有时会花费很长时间，会令人疲惫，F项“有时你可能会感叹博物馆的疲惫是真实存在的”符合题意，故选择F项。38.根据上文“Thus, be smart to browse the instructions for visiting and book in advance online.(因此，明智地浏览访问指南并提前在线预订)”可知，这里要说的是，在网上提前预定就可轻松游览，而不用等待，D项“这样你就可以轻松访问”符合题意，故选择D项。39.根据上文“What if you don’t like some museums? Then don’t visit them! I’m not a massive fan of parks, so I would hardly ever end up in any park while travelling.(如果你不喜欢一些博物馆怎么办？那就不要去游览它们！我不太喜欢公园，所以我在旅行时几乎不会去任何公园)”可知，这里要说的是，如果不喜欢博物馆那就不要去游览，就像作者不喜欢公园一样，A项“博物馆也是如此”符合题意，故选择A项。40.根据上文“We’ve all witnessed that guy being yelled at by the security for touching or taking flash photos.(我们都目睹过某个家伙因为触摸或拍闪光灯照片而被保安大喊大叫)”可知，作者想要劝大家不要做不礼貌的事情，C项“如果你没有这样，就不要让它成为你”符合题意，故选择C项。完形填空【导语】这是一篇记叙文。介绍了作者家里有一个“共享图书”活动，作者无意中发现一本老年人手抄的名言集的感人故事。41.考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我们称之为“共享（图书）财宝”，因为我们的任何客人都可以从中拿走任何一本书，并将任何一本贡献给它。A. shared分享的，共有的；B. secret秘密的；C. virtual虚拟的，模拟的；D. personal个人的。根据后文“because any of our guests can take any book from it and   42   any book to it”可知，此处指“共享（图书）财宝”。故选A项。42.考查动词词义辨析。句意：我们称之为“共享（图书）财富”，因为我们的任何客人都可以从中拿走任何一本书，并将任何一本贡献给它。A. lend借出；B. read阅读；C. rent租用；D. contribute贡献，捐献。根据语境和前文“any of our guests can take any book from it”及后文“But no one   43   where the books come or go”可知，客人也可以将任何一本贡献出来。故选D项。43.考查动词词义辨析。句意：但没有人追查书籍的来历和去向；这一切都建立在信任的基础上。A. replies回答；B. tracks追踪；C. guesses猜测；D. minds介意。根据语境和后文“It’s all based on trust”可知，没有人追查这些书的来历和去向。故选B项。44.考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这些书通常都是鼓舞人心的类型——从Jack Canfield的《心灵鸡汤》，到《现在的力量》等自助书籍，再到Romain Rolland的《名人传》。A. inspiring鼓舞人心的；B. professional专业的，熟练的；C. definite肯定的；D. creative有创造力的。根据后文“from Jack Canfield’s Chicken Soup For the Soul”可知，这些书都是鼓舞人心的。故选A项。45.考查动词词义辨析。句意：我真的无法预测在某一天我会发现什么书籍。A. ignore忽视；B. limit限制；C. predict预测；D. doubt怀疑。根据前文“But no one    43   where the books come or go”可知，作者无法预测会发现什么书籍。故选C项。46.考查动词词义辨析。句意：前几天，我偶然发现了一本红色的书。A. kept保持；B. chanced冒险，碰巧，偶然发生；C. touched接触；D. depended依靠。根据前文“I can’t really    45    what I’ll find on a particular day”可知，作者是偶然发现的这本书。故选B项。47.考查动词短语词义辨析。句意：它之所以引人注目，是因为它上面有特别的小白心，而且没有标题。A. turned up出现；B. ended up结束；C. stood out突出；D. took place发生。根据后文“because it had special little white hearts on it and no title”可知，这本书很突出，引人入目。故选C项。48.考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我迅速在书中随便翻开一页。A. correct正确；B. blank空白的；C. random随机的；D. familiar熟悉的。根据前文“It    47   because it had special little white hearts on it and no title”可知，作者第一次见到这本书，是随便翻开一页。故选C项。49.考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我发现了一段引文，上面有一个划掉的词，似乎是伯罗斯奶奶或爷爷用颤抖的笔迹写的。A. shaky摇晃的；B. awful可怕的，很坏的；C. funny有趣的；D. strange奇怪的。根据常识和后文“elderly Grandma or Grandpa”，结合选项可以推知，这是老年人颤抖的笔迹。故选A项。50.考查动词词义辨析。句意：然后我迫不及待地想探索一下里面。A. accept接受；B. explore探索；C. choose选择；D. reflect反应。根据语境和后文“every page had a hand-written quote by DJ’s grandparents”可知，作者迫不及待地想要探索里面内容。故选B项。51.考查副词词义辨析。句意：出乎意料的是，每一页都有DJ祖父母手写的名言。A.

We were going to swim together. I finished working at about 4 o’clock and then went to the post office. Then I stopped off at a shop for some fruits and bread. We liked to have some fruits and bread to eat after our swim. When I was about 500 metres from the school, the cars in front of me stopped moving. I knew something bad must have happened. Many people were talking and discussing. I was a little upset. I pulled up and got out of the car. I walked about 200 metres and learned that a truck had a flat tire and crashed into several cars. Policemen were there. At the same time, two ambulances were there. Fortunately, no one got seriously injured. Two slightly injured drivers were sent to hospital quickly. It didn’t take long before the cars continue to flow.
