About the year 1900, a small, dark-haired hot boy named Charlie Chaplin was often seen waiting outside the back entrance of London Theatre. He looked thin and hungry. He was hoping to get work in show business. He could sing and dance; above all, he knew how to make people laugh. But he couldn’t get work and so he wandered about the city streets. Sometimes he was sent away to a home for children who had no parents.
But twenty years later this name Chaplin became the greatest, best-known, and best-loved comedian in the world. Any visitor to the cinema must have seen some of Chaplin’s filmstrips(胶片). People everywhere have sat and laughed at them until the tears ran down their faces. Even people who don’t understand English can enjoy Chaplin’s films though most of them are silent. It isn’t what he says that makes us laugh. His comedy doesn’t depend upon words and languages. It depends upon little actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world. Acting out, without words, common human situations plays an important part in the dances and plays of many countries. It’s a kind of world language.
Chaplin lived most of his life in America and died in Switzerland on Christmas Day, 1977, at the age of eighty-eight. The world was astonished at the news of the death and burst into sadness.

Turtles may be cute, but they are also slow and clumsy, which doesn’t really help them when they are trying to cross train tracks. Luckily, for the turtles in Japan’s Hyōgo Prefecture, railway operators and a local aquarium teamed up to find a solution.
Between 2002 and 2014, disruptions (中断) of train operation caused by turtles were reported 13 times, with many more probably going unreported. That is why, in 2015, West Japan Railway Co. and Suma Aqualife Park in Kobe joint forces to prevent tragic turtle deaths on the tracks and unnecessary train delay. After running a series of tests and experiments, they came up with a U-shaped ditch (沟渠) that collects the turtles, preventing them from getting stuck between the metal tracks and getting crushed to death.
Tests showed that turtles trying to cross the train tracks often fall into the space between them, which leaves them with no other option than to walk between them. Sadly, this causes some of them to get stuck between the metal tracks at junctions(交叉口), and they unavoidably get crushed to death when the points blades(叶片)move.
“The turtles are basically just going about their daily business and have to cross the lines to get to a pond, ” a railway spokesperson said. “When the points blades move, unfortunately, they get squashed between them and die. They can cause long delays to operations so we consulted with a turtle specialist to find the best way to help them. ”
The U-shaped concrete ditches installed at several critical points along the train lines near the city of Kobe catch the turtles at danger of getting stuck between the tracks. They allow the turtles to get past the junctions safely. 10 turtles were reportedly saved in the first month since the U-shaped ditch was put to use in November 2015.
【文章大意】本文是说明文。海龟穿越铁轨时会遭遇危险, 相关部门设计安装了U形的混凝土沟渠, 这些沟渠可以防止乌龟陷入铁轨之间的危险, 让海龟安全通过路口。
28. What’s the best title of the text?
A. An Important Invention in Japan
B. The U-shaped Concrete Ditches
C. Turtles Crossing Train Tracks in Danger
D. Japan’s Clever Solution to Help Turtles Cross Train Tracks
【解析】选D。主旨大意题。根据第一、二段可知, 为了解决海龟陷入铁轨被压死的问题, 日本铁路运营商和当地水族馆想到了帮助海龟穿越铁轨的好办法。
29. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. Why the U-shaped ditch is invented.
B. The turtles’ terrible conditions.
C. The train delay caused by turtles.
D. How the turtles go through the tracks.
【解析】选A。段落大意题。根据第二段可知, 从2002年到2014年, 曾多次报道过因海龟造成的列车运行中断事件, 因此为了防止铁路上的海龟悲剧和不必要的火车延误, 相关部门设计安装了U形的混凝土沟渠。
30. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The turtles. B. The trains.
C. The train tracks. D. The points blades.
【解析】选C。代词指代题。根据画线词所在句子可知, 测试显示, 试图穿越铁轨的海龟经常会掉到铁轨之间的空隙中, 这让它们别无选择, 只能在“它们”之间行走。此处them是指“火车轨道”。
31. What can we infer about the ditches?
A. They are installed on the railway tracks.
B. They can prevent turtles from escaping.
C. They are easy to trap the turtles.
D They are helpful for turtles to cross train tracks.
【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据最后一段“它们让海龟安全通过路口。据报道, 自2015年11月U形沟投入使用以来的第一个月里, 就有10只海龟获救”可知, 这些U形沟有助于海龟穿越铁轨。

The ocean covers over 70 percent of the surface of Earth today, but over 3 billion years ago the entire planet may have been covered in water. To investigate what our planet was like billions of years ago, a team of researchers turned to indirect methods of analysis at a geological site in the Australian Outback known as Panorama(全景画) in the Pilbara Craton. Today, the region is 100 kilometers inland, but 3. 2 billion years ago, it was deep underwater.
In fact, there were also once ancient hydro thermal vents (热水口) there where seawater bubbled up through the ocean floor. “There are no samples of really ancient ocean water lying around, but we do have rocks that interacted with that seawater and remembered that interaction, ”lead author Benjamin Johnson, an assistant professor at Iowa State University, said in a statement.
The researchers collected over 100 of these rock samples and found something peculiar in them: a slightly higher amount of a particular isotope (同位素) of oxygen. The vast majority of oxygen on Earth is Oxygen-16 and contains eight protons (质子) and eight neutrons. However, about 0. 20 percent is Oxygen-18.
Samples from Australia show the region’s ancient water contained more Oxygen-18 than present times. Since continents are covered in clay-rich soil that is efficient at trapping Oxygen-18, the team suggests that without continents covered in soil, more Oxygen-18 would have been present in the ocean. Their discovery indeed suggests there wasn’t much dry land available 3. 24 billion years ago.
“There’s nothing in what we’ve done that says you can’t have tiny, micro-continents sticking out of the oceans, ” added co-author Boswell Wing. “We just don’t think there were global-scale formations of continental soils like we have today. ” The researchers don’t know when and how continents began to emerge out of the ocean but they plan to investigate “younger” rock formations to piece together a more precise timeline.
【文章大意】本文为说明文。研究表明, 30亿年前整个地球可能被水覆盖, 本文就此观点提出了研究证据。但是研究人员不知道大陆何时以及如何开始从海洋中出现, 他们计划调查更早的岩层, 以拼凑出更精确的时间轴。
32. Where is the research site?
A. In a region deep underwater.
B. In a region off Australia.
C. In a region inland Australia.
D. In a region outside the Pilbara Craton.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第一段第二句To investigate what our planet was like billions of years ago, a team of researchers turned to indirect methods of analysis at a geological site in the Australian Outback known as Panorama in the Pilbara Craton, 可知研究地点在澳大利亚内陆的一个地区。
33. What do the underlined words “interacted with” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Have an effect on each other.
B. Have a one-way effect.
C. Have a mysterious effect.
D. Have a negative effect.
【解析】选A。词义猜测题。根据画线词所在的句子前半句句意可知, 周围没有真正的古代海水样本, 但我们确实有岩石与海水相互作用(interact), 此处interacted with意为“岩石与海水之间相互作用”。
34. What’s the researchers’ conclusion after analyzing samples from Australia?
A. Modern earth must have been a water world.
B. Modern earth must have been a continental world.
C. Ancient earth may have been a water world.
D. Ancient earth may have been a continental world.
【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第四段“来自澳大利亚的样本显示, 该地区古代的水比现在含有更多的氧-18。研究小组认为, 如果大陆上没有覆盖着土壤, 那么海洋中可能存在更多的氧-18。他们的发现确实表明, 在32. 4亿年前, 地球上没有多少干燥的土地。”可知, 古代地球可能是一个水的世界。
35. What’s the researchers’ next focus of the study?
A. To research continental soils’ formations.
B. To research the ocean’s formations.
C. To research “older” rock formations.
D. To research “younger” rock formations.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据最后一段“研究人员不知道大陆何时以及如何开始从海洋中出现, 但他们计划调查更早的岩层, 以拼凑出更精确的时间轴。”可知, 研究人员为了弄清楚大陆何时以及如何开始从海洋中出现, 下一个重点是研究“更年轻的”岩层, 故选D。
第二节(共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)
根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项, 选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you look around the streets of London, you’ll see many methods people use to move around.
36 Now there’s a new addition: electric, or e-scooters (电动滑板车).
This traditional children’s vehicle has become more complicated over the years. And now, with the addition of a small electric motor, it’s become a cheap and easy mode of transport. Scooting around town can be fun and doesn’t involve much effort. 37 But considering accident involving an electric scooter in the UK, questions are being asked about their safety and whether traffic laws should be changed.
Many e-scooter riders in the UK broke the law. Some have been seen on pavements, others on the road jumping red traffic lights, adding to the frustration of motorists stuck in jams. In the UK, the law states that riding one on the public highway or pavement is forbidden. But, despite this, it seems the increasing popularity of e-scooters means they can be seen everywhere. 38
The UK government is looking at how safely they can be used on the road and is “reviewing” the law. But its transport minister, Michael Ellis, has told the BBC that: “Micromobility products are appearing in countries across the globe and are an exciting innovation for which we know there is demand. 39 ”
40 Despite the fact that some of them can exceed 30 mph, they sometimes only have one brake and no lights. However confident the rider may be, larger vehicles on the road make them unprotected. So it seems more work needs to be done to give e-scooters a safe and legal space to travel in.
A. The roads are already crowded.
B. We are mainly after economic benefits.
C. People seldom see e-scooter accidents in the UK.
D. However, safety must always be our top priority.
E. And now users are calling on regulations to be changed.
F. There’s no doubt there are dangers in riding a two-wheeled scooter.
G. It’s no wonder they’re becoming increasingly popular in cities around the world.
【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了电动滑板车作为交通工具的兴起及随之出现的安全问题。
36. 【解析】选A。根据前一句可知, 如果你环顾伦敦的街道, 你会看到人们用来出行的许多方法。后一句引出本文话题: 现在又有了一个新成员——电动滑板车。选项A. The roads are already crowded. (路上已经很拥挤了。)符合文意。
37. 【解析】选G。本段前两句解释了电动滑板车的优势, 故下文总结它受到人们的欢迎, 选项G. It’s no wonder they’re becoming increasingly popular in cities around the world. (难怪它们在世界各地的城市里越来越受欢迎。)符合文意。
38. 【解析】选E。根据前文表述“在英国, 法律规定在公共公路或人行道上骑自行车是被禁止的。但是, 尽管如此, 似乎日益流行的电动滑板车意味着它们随处可见”可知, 在旧有的法律规定和电动滑板车日益流行之间存在着矛盾, 因此E. And now users are calling on regulations to be changed. (现在, 用户们呼吁改变这些规定。)符合文意。
39. 【解析】选D。根据本段主题句“英国政府正在研究如何在路上使用它们的安全性, 并正在重新审查这项法律”和设空处的前一句“微型移动产品正在全球各国出现, 这是一项令人兴奋的创新, 我们知道这是有需求的”可知它的安全性是首要考虑的问题, 故D项 However, safety must always be our top priority. 符合文意。
40. 【解析】选F。根据空格后面两句“尽管有些时速能超过30英里, 但有时只有一个刹车, 没有车灯。不管车手有多自信, 路上的大车都会让他们失去保护”可知, 电动滑板车自身存在的缺陷, 致使它在行驶过程中存在危险, 此处F. There’s no doubt there are dangers in riding a two-wheeled scooter. (毫无疑问, 骑两轮滑板车是有危险的。)符合文意。

【解析】选D。shouting喊; running跑; staring注视; gesturing打手势。母亲在说“生日快乐!”的同时, 应该是“用手指向”装礼物的盒子, 并告诉作者“打开它们”, 故选D。
43. A. earlier B. longer C. better D. less
【解析】选C。根据下文she’d gotten me exactly what I wanted—running clothes. 可知, 母亲买给“我”的礼物正是“我”想要的, 可见母亲比任何人都“更了解我”。better可与know搭配, 可表示程度。
44. A. paid B. hugged
C. comforted D. ignored
【解析】选B。此处的hugged与后面的thanked相呼应, 表达了作者对母亲为她筹备生日的感激之情。
45. A. calories B. presents
C. decorations D. candles
【解析】选A。根据母亲的答语You’ll run them off tomorrow可知, 此处作者说的是蛋糕中的卡路里。
46. A. sad B. lasting C. failing D. past
【解析】选C。根据下文母亲忘记了已经给女儿过完生日, 以及最后一段母亲可能每天跟作者说上十遍左右同样的对话, 可看出母亲记忆力衰退。
47. A. signaled B. added
C. appealed D. contributed
【解析】选A。signaled发信号, 示意; added增加; appealed吸引, 呼吁; contributed贡献, 有助于。结合语境来看, 可知是指会有那么一天, 那一天的到来示意他们与父母的关系将永远发生变化。
48. A. ended B. came
C. changed D. disappeared
【解析】选B。空前的that day指的就是上一段中提到的one day, 这样一个日子在两周后到来了。
49. A. memory B. birthday
C. party D. visit
【解析】选D。句意: 对我来说, 那一天在两周后的一天到来了, 那天我又开车回去做了一次短暂的拜访。 根据上下文判断, 这里应该是作者再次回家看望母亲。
50. A. day B. idea C. scene D. celebration
【解析】选C。day天, 日子; idea观点, 主意; scene场面, 情景; celebration庆祝。作者这次到了母亲家看到了与生日那天同样的场景。
51. A. boxes B. bags C. dresses D. hats
【解析】选A。句意: 我看到了完全相同的一幕: 妈妈坐在厨房的桌子旁; 一个巧克力蛋糕放在两个用卷带包裹的盒子旁边。该空与第一段中提到的boxes相呼应, 故选A。
52. A. color B. choice
C. attraction D. difference
【解析】选D。根据该段与第一段中对作者到母亲家看到的场景的描述可看出, 母亲两次准备的生日礼物几乎相同, 唯一的差异这次丝带是绿色的。
53. A. moved B. confused
C. embarrassed D. excited
【解析】选B。根据下文“What’s going on?”可看出, 面对眼前的一幕, 作者一开始不知发生了什么, 所以感到很困惑。
54. A. pleasure B. trouble C. trick D. end
【解析】选C。根据作者在第五段提到的记忆力衰退问题及该空后的This was real life可看出, 此时作者意识到是母亲的记忆力出现了问题, 而非母亲为捉弄自己而搞的恶作剧。
55. A. happy B. shocked
C. puzzled D. upset
【解析】选A。虽然当天并不是作者生日, 但作者知道记忆力出现问题的母亲也是一片好心, 为使自己开心, 才准备了这么多礼物。
56. A. friendly B. successful
C. forgetful D. grateful
【解析】选D。根据上下文可知, 作者当时尽力平复心情, 努力扮演好一个对母亲为自己所做的一切表示感恩的女儿的角色。
57. A. admired B. washed
C. declined D. wrapped
【解析】选A。根据上文作者说母亲在生日那天送她的衣服正是她想要的, 可看出作者非常喜欢该礼物, 此处作者应该是装作像生日当天一样欣喜地称赞衣服。
58. A. days B. weeks C. months D. years
【解析】选B。句意: 我没有告诉她我们两个星期前就做了这一切。此处two weeks ago与第六段中的 two weeks later相呼应。
59. A. previous B. annoying
C. only D. same
【解析】选D。根据上文母亲的症状可看出母亲容易忘事, 做过的事或说过的话很快就会忘记, 所以此处应该是作者一天要陪着母亲一遍遍地重复同样的对话。
60. A. Therefore B. Instead
C. However D. Moreover
【解析】选C。根据上下文可看出前后两句是转折关系, 尽管因母亲记忆力衰退的问题, 作者一天要陪着母亲一遍遍地重复同样的对话, 但作者不但没有不耐烦, 反而把此事当作乐事, 因为每一次对话、每一刻对于母亲来说都是新的。

Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of the flesh and blood of millions of men.

62. 【解析】till/until/and。句意: 它自西向东, 穿过沙漠, 越过山脉, 通过山谷曲折蜿蜒, (直到)最后到达海洋。根据句意可知, 上下句是并列关系, 故填till/until/and。
63. 【解析】was built。句意: 它的第一部分在春秋时期建造。根据语意可知, 长城是被建造的, 春秋时期是过去, 用一般过去时的被动语态, 故这里填was built。
64. 【解析】to keep。考查不定式作状语。句意: 在秦朝, 为了阻止敌人入侵, 秦始皇命人把所有城墙连接起来。这里用不定式作目的状语, 故填to keep。

66. 【解析】the。考查冠词。at the top“在……顶部”, 这里用定冠词指在长城的上面。句意: 长城的顶部足够宽可供5只马或者10个人并排走。故这里用the。

It was a Sunday afternoon. I was playing in the park with my friend when I saw an old man lie on the ground. I tried to help him stood up, but he couldn’t move and seemed in pains. Not knowing what to do, I asked my friend call an ambulance. Soon the ambulance arrives. We helped carry the old man onto an ambulance. The doctor praised us for what we did, for which made us very happily.
In my opinion, everyone of us should have a sense of responsible and a caring heart. Whenever we see anyone in need of help, we should give themselves a hand.
答案:
1. 【解析】第二句中的lie→lying。考查非谓语动词。see sb. doing sth. 看见某人正在做某事。
2. 【解析】第三句中的stood→stand。考查非谓语动词。help sb. do sth. 帮助某人做某事。
3. 【解析】第三句中的pains→pain。考查名词。pain作“疼痛”讲, 为不可数名词。in pain处于痛苦中。
4. 【解析】第四句中的call前加to。考查非谓语动词。ask sb. to do sth. 要求某人做某事。
5. 【解析】第五句中的arrives→arrived。考查动词的时态。此处叙述一个星期天下午发生的事, 故用一般过去时。
6. 【解析】第六句中的an→the。考查冠词。上文已经提到了救护车, 故此处表示特指, 因此应把an改为the。
7. 【解析】第七句中的去掉第二个for。考查定语从句。分析定语从句结构可知, 关系代词which应在从句中作主语, 故介词for多余。
8. 【解析】第七句中的happily→happy。考查形容词。此处作made的宾语补足语, 因此应用形容词。
9. 【解析】第八句中的responsible→ responsibility。考查名词。介词of后用名词形式。a sense of responsibility责任感。
10. 【解析】第九句中的themselves→them。考查代词。此处应指代时间状语从句中的anyone, 因此应把themselves改为them。

Accidental celebration
A woman and a man were involved in a car accident. Although both cars were totally destroyed, fortunately neither of them was hurt.
After they moved slowly out of their cars, the woman said, “To be alive is so nice! Are you OK? Wow! Just look at our cars. There’s nothing left, but fortunately we are unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should meet and become friends and live together in peace the rest of our days. ” The man replied, “I can’t agree with you more, and this must be a sign from God!”
The woman continued. “And look at this-here’s another miracle. My car is completely destroyed but this bottle of wine didn’t break. Surely God wants us to drink this and celebrate our good fortune. ”
So she handed the bottle to the man. The man nodded his head in agreement, opened it and drank some from the bottle, then handed it back to the woman. The woman took back the bottle, immediately put the cap back on, and handed it back to the man. The man took the bottle and asked in surprise, “Why don’t you have some?”
The woman replied, “Sorry. I think I will just wait for the police. . . ”
