I was riding my special motorbike this past weekend and stopped at a store. As I was getting my wheelchair off the back, a man watched me from his car and I noticed a wheelchair in his backseat. We spoke for a moment and I asked him about the wheelchair. He answered that it was for his daughter. “Well, do you think she would like to go for a ride on my motorbike with me? I asked. He seemed amazed that a total stranger would ask him this. He thought about it for a second and said, “OK, as long as I can follow you.”
He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat. Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for Christmas.
As we came back to the store she said, “This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive. I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didn’t know I could do this.” Then she turned to him and said, “Oh Daddy, I’m going to be OK. Mr. Bryant does all kinds of things—and I will too.” Her father hugged me and said, “I was sitting here praying for a gift for Amy that would encourage her. She often felt that her life was boring compared to other children. God answered my prayer (祷告) just now. Now I pray that God will bless you for your gift to Amy today.” Being kind and thoughtful to others, we can be an answer to prayer.

Gardeners are often puzzled by the sudden appearance of an unusual orchid(兰花) or sometimes are disappointed that their annuals have vanished. Scientists have discovered that some British flowers can lie dormant (休眠的) under the ground for up to 20 years, coming out to bloom only when the conditions are just right. Orchids seem particularly good at being dormant for years at a time, the scientists discovered.
Michael Hutchings, Professor of Ecology at the University of Suss, said: “Being underground means they cannot receive sunshine, neither flower nor reproduce. And yet this study has shown that many plants in a large number of species frequently go through dormancy (休眠). Many of these species have found ways to overcome the loss of sunshine during dormancy, especially by gradually developing their ability to get what they need from soil. This allows them to survive and even grow well during dormant periods.”
The research found that dormancy occurs when the weather is poor, or there is a new threat from animals or competing plants. Sometimes winters are so mild that the plant does not realize that spring has begun. Dormancy in seeds has been widely known about and studied for years, but the dormancy in adult plants is far less well-known and understood.
The study, led by Professor Richard Shefferson in University of Tokyo, is the first detailed analysis of the causes. Dormancy appears to be more common near the equator (赤道), where threats from factors such as disease, competition, animals and fire are more severe. Co-author Dr. Eric Menges said:“ In those areas, it is most suitable for plants to remain dormant and then to grow when favourable conditions exist for growth and flowering. ”
8. What does the underlined word “vanished” mean in the first paragraph?
A. Adapted. B. Shrunk. C. Disappeared. D. Woken.
9. What does Professor Michael Hutchings mainly talk about in the second paragraph?
A. What results dormancy leads to.
B. How the orchid developed their ability to get energy.
C. Why some species can survive terrible conditions.
D. How the orchid lives through dormant periods.
10. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Dormancy in plants is common in regions along the equator.
B. Orchids are the only plants that can be dormant for years.
C. Dormancy in seeds is far less well-known and understood.
D. Most gardeners don’t want to plant orchids.
11. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Survival of the Fittest
B. Dormant Flowers Underground for Years
C. Why Some British Flowers Stay Dormant
D. New Research on Dormancy in Orchids
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是研究发现一些英国花在地下可以休眠20年，只有在条件合适的时候才会开花。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。分析单词所在的句子“Gardeners are often puzzled by the sudden appearance of an unusual orchid(兰花) or sometimes are disappointed that their annuals have…(园丁经常对突然出现的不寻常的兰花感到困惑，或者有时对他们的一年生兰花感到失望......)”结构可知，or连接前面的puzzled by the sudden appearance和后面的are disappointed that their annuals，说明划线单词与前面的单词appearance意义相反，appearance意为“出现”，所以，此处应为“消失”的意思。故选C项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中的Professor Michael Hutchings 所说的“And yet this study has shown that many plants in a large number of species frequently go through dormancy(休眠). Many of these species have found ways to overcome the loss of sunshine during dormancy, especially by gradually developing their ability to get what they need from soil.(然而，这项研究表明，许多物种中的许多植物经常经历休眠。这些物种中的许多已经找到了克服休眠期间阳光损失的方法，特别是通过逐渐发展它们从土壤中获取所需东西的能力)”可知，通过研究发现，很多休眠的植物在休眠过程中找到了如何克服缺失阳光的方法，由此可知，本段主要说明休眠植物是如何获取能量的。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Dormancy appears to be more common near the equator (赤道), where threats from factors such as disease, competition, animals and fire are more severe. Co-author Dr. Eric Menges said:“ In those areas, it is most suitable for plants to remain dormant and then to grow when favourable conditions exist for growth and flowering.”(休眠似乎在赤道附近更为常见，那里来自疾病，竞争，动物和火灾等因素的威胁更为严重。合著者Eric Menges博士说：“在这些地区，最适合植物保持休眠状态，然后在存在有利于生长和开花的条件时生长。”)”可知，赤道周围的休眠现象是很普遍的，并且赤道处的环境很适合植物休眠，等条件合适的时候会成长开花。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Scientists have discovered that some British flowers can lie dormant(休眠的) under the ground for up to 20 years, coming out to bloom only when the conditions are just right.(科学家发现，一些英国花可以在地下休眠长达20年，只有在条件恰到好处的时候才会出来开花。)”以及下文中的研究分析休眠出现的条件，休眠期间是如何存活的可知，本文主要讲述的是地下休眠多年的花，在条件允许的情况下就会成长开花。故选B项。

Liverpool, my hometown, is a unique city. It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage （遗产） Site.
I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey. Blanketed in mist （薄雾）, Victorian architecture rose from the banks of the river, responded to the sounds of sea-birds, and appeared unbelievably charming. When I headed toward the centre, I found myself surrounded by buildings that mirror the best palaces of Europe. It is not hard to imagine why, on first seeing the city, most visitors would be overpowered by the beauty of the noble buildings, which are solid signs of Liverpool’s history.
As if stress its cultural role, Liverpool has more museums and galleries （美术馆） than most cities in Britain. At Walker Art Gallery, I was told that it has best collections of Victorian paintings in the world, and is the home of modern art in the north of England. However, culture is more than galleries. Liverpool offers many music events. As Britain’s No.1 music city, it has the biggest city music festival in Europe, and its musicians are famous all over the world. Liverpool is also well-known for its football and other sports events. Every year, the Mersey River Festival attracts thousands of visitors, madding the city a place of wonder.
As you would expect from such a city, there are restaurants serving food from around the world. When my trip was about to complete, I chose to rest my legs in Liverpool’s famous Philharmonic pub（酒馆）. It is a monument to perfection, and a heritage attraction itself.
Being a World Heritage Site, my home city is certainly a place of “outstanding universal value”. It is a treasure house with plenty of secrets for the world to explore.
12 Visitors who see the city for the first time would be deeply impressed by __________.
A. its charming banks
B. its famous museums
C. its wonderful palaces

A. Liverpool is a well-known city for its restaurants
B. Liverpool is an impressive place full of attraction
C. a pub is a wonderful place for visitors to relax themselves
D. a pub is a perfect choice for visitors to complete their journey
15. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The universal value of the world heritage in Liverpool.
B. The exciting experience of the author in Liverpool.
C. The special cultural atmosphere of Liverpool.
D. The beautiful historic sites of Liverpool.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C

【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“owever, culture is more than galleries. Liverpool offers many music events. As Britain’s No.1 music city, it has the biggest city music festival in Europe, and its musicians are famous all over the world. Liverpool is also well-known for its football and other sports events. Every year, the Mersey River Festival attracts thousands of visitors, madding the city a place of wonder.”（然而，文化不仅仅是画廊。利物浦有许多音乐活动。作为英国第一大音乐城市，它拥有欧洲最大的城市音乐节，其音乐家举世闻名。利物浦也因其足球和其他体育赛事而闻名。每年默西河节都会吸引成千上万的游客，使这座城市成为一个神奇的地方。）我们可以知道作者举了“博物馆、音乐和运动”作为例子，所以第三段以提供不同的事例展开的。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“When my trip was about to complete, I chose to rest my legs in Liverpool’s famous Philharmonic pub（酒馆）. It is a monument to perfection, and a heritage attraction itself.”（当我的旅行即将结束时，我选择在利物浦著名的爱乐酒吧休息一下。它是一个完美的纪念碑，本身也是一个遗产景点。）由此可知，通过the Philharmonic pub告诉我们利物浦是一个充满吸引力的令人印象深刻的地方。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Liverpool, my hometown, is a unique city. It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage （遗产） Site.”（利物浦，我的家乡，是一个独特的城市。它是如此独特，以至于在2004年被列为世界文化遗产。）根据最后一段“It is a treasure house with plenty of secrets for the world to explore.”（它是一个宝库，有许多秘密供世界探索。）短文讲述了利物浦建筑的美和很多名胜，而且重点讲述了她的独特的文化氛围。故选C项。

【16题详解】
根据前文“Do you feel that it has been a long time since you came up with an amazing idea or something new? This is a sign that there are improvements you should make in your thinking process(过程). ”（你是否觉得自己已经很久没有想出一个绝妙点子或者新点子了？这是一个信号，表明在你的思考过程中你应该做出改进。）可知，当你很久没有新的点子想出来，说明你的思维需要改善。后文“Thankfully, effective thinking can be practiced over time if you try the following approaches.”（值得庆幸的是，如果你尝试以下方法，有效的思维可以随着时间的推移得到练习。）提到有一些方法可以帮助你通过练习，提高有效思维，所以空处应该承接前文，讲述我们的这种无效思维会带给我们什么后果。选项G.“然而，我们的思考可能是无效的，可能会损害我们的幸福和决定。”承接前文，同时引出了下文提到有效思维的策略的提出，符合题意。故选G。
【17题详解】
本段标题“Think when you are relaxed.”（当你放松的时候可以思考。）说明思考要在思维放松的时候。下文“If you can’t relax, the process is affected. ”（如果你不能放松，这个过程就会受到影响。）可知，在不放松状态下，思考的过程会受到影响。因而空处应该描述如果要有有效的思考，要避免在不放松的状态下思考，即避免在压力下思考。选项F“如果你想充分利用，就要避免在压力下思考。”符合题意，故选F。
【18题详解】
空处处于段落的标题部分，结合段落标题句的句式特点，答案可缩小范围到选项A与选项B。结合下文“Top thinkers learn from their past experiences and mistakes. ”（顶尖思想家从过去的经历和错误中吸取教训。）说明从过去的经历和错误中吸取教训是顶尖的思想家采取的方式，肯定了要从过去的经历和错误中吸取教训的意义。作为段落的标题句要充分概括这一点。选项A“从过去的经历中学习”，符合题意，故选A。
【19题详解】
根据前文“If you give in to your brain, your thinking process will fail. One way to get the two to be on the same page is to stay in a peaceful and quiet environment and relax. ”（如果你向你的大脑屈服，你的思考过程就会失败。让两者达成一致的方法之一就是呆在一个安静祥和的环境中，放松自己。）可知，空处的内容应承接前文，讲述通过放松自己之后会发生什么。选项D“然后，你可以做出更明智的决定”，符合题意，故选D。
【20题详解】
根据前文“You can improve your thinking process with the approaches above. ”（你可以用上面的方法改进你的思维过程。）可知以上提到的方式有助于改善你的思维过程。后文“You will see some improvements slowly and make the quality of your ideas better.”（你会慢慢看到一些改进，并使你的想法质量更好。）说明思维的改善是一个缓慢的过程。因而空处承接前文，讲述思维的改善不会骤然实现。选项C“不一定非要在一天之内发生。”说明了改善的过程是缓慢的，承接前文，符合题意，故选C。
