B篇
Recently, a grup f scientists decided t find ut what the funniest jke in the wrld was. This was bviusly a difficult task, as n tw peple really agree abut what is funny and what is nt—especially when they are frm different cuntries.
Here is the jke which the experts decided was the funniest jke in the wrld：
Tw hunters were ut in the wds. One f them fell t the grund. He didn’t seem t be breathing; his eyes were clsed. The ther hunter tk ut his mbile phne and called the emergency services.

This is perhaps amusing. Culturally, it depends n us knwing that ften hunters are nt cnsidered t be very intelligent peple, and that ften they are quite vilent.

“And what d yu infer frm that? ”
“Well, there are billins f stars ... we are a small part f the universe ...”
“Watsn, yu idit!” he said. “Smene has stlen ur tent!” I persnally think this is better.

I had an English teacher, Mr. Creech, wh knew I culdn’t read. In ne f my first lessns the teacher said that anyne wh had a reading age belw six had t stand up. I felt s embarrassed. But at the same time, it made me realize that I needed t change the situatin. I was determined it wuldn’t happen again.

Nw I was 41 years ld. One day, I planned t fly back t Texas t visit my friends and family. On my way frm the airprt, I saw Mr. Creech buying himself a drink.

“I’m s glad I had a chance t see yu,” I said. “And Mr. Creech, I have great news t share.” I tld him I had learned t read. But that wasn’t all. I had becme a published authr and an active speaker. “The next time yu get anther Anthny Hamiltn in yur classrm, please encurage him t read as well,” I added.

D篇
The inventin f steel frames in the late 1800s meant that the walls did nt carry the weight f a structure. This develpment meant that suddenly much taller buildings were pssible, and they culd be built quickly. Skyscrapers had been brn, and they were abut t change the face f ur cities.
Since 1901 the wrld’s tallest building had always been a skyscraper and until 1974 this was always in New Yrk. Only after the end f the century did the tallest building appear utside Nrth America, with the pening f the first building t be mre than half a kilmeter tall, Taipei 101.
Tall building are seen as a symbl f success and status by many but they are nt always ppular with lcal residents. The cnstructin f the Shard, the tallest building in Lndn and in the entire Eurpean Unin, has been highly cntrver-
sial. It is nly a few hundred meters acrss the River Thames frm the Twer f Lndn--ne f the ldest and mst famus landmarks in Lndn.Many feel that such mdern cnstructins shuld nt be built near t histric sites.
Lndn residents shuld hpe that the pening f the Shard desn’t lead t a majr dwntwn in their ecnmy. The Empire State Building was finished in 1931, very sn after Wall Street crashed. The Petrnas Twers in Kuala Lumpur were built in 1988, just after the Asian financial crisis. The Burj Khalifa in Dubai was pened in early 2010, and shrtly afterwards the emirate’s（酋长国的）investment cmpany cllapsed.
The Burj Khalifa might be the tallest structure in the wrld currently but its status is under threat frm numerus planned buildings arund the wrld. One twer which will prbably never be built is the 4km high X-Seed 4000 in Tky.
It was designed in 1995 t attract publicity rather than as a serius prpsal, but wh knws when such fanciful ideas culd becme a reality? The Burj Khalifa is mre that duble the height f the Empire State Building, and surely n ne in 1931 wuld have imagined that.
12. What make the building f skyscrapers pssible?
A. The using f the steel frames.
B. The imprvement f the wall material.
C. The changing f the city face. D. 'The increase f the building height.
13. What is mst Lndners' attitude twards the cnstructin f the Shard?
A. Supprtive. B. Uncperative. C. Acceptable. D. Critical.
14. Hw is paragraph 4 develped?
A. By analyzing pssible reasns. B. By stating general characters.
C. By prviding typical examples. D. By listing practical prpsals.
15. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Skyscrapers: symbl f success B. Skyscrapers: ideal buildings
C. The sky's fanciful ideas and reality D. The sky's the limit

This develpment meant that suddenly much taller buildings were pssible, and they culd be built quickly.

7选5阅读【答案】16. F；17. G；18. C；19. E；20. B；
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要描述了如何选择把植物作为礼物的建议。
【16题详解】F 结合填空处所处的情境及下文给出的送植物做礼物的建议，可以看出此处是作为承上启下的作用。所以要总说引出下文的建议的句子。故选F项。
【17题详解】G 前文讲到，如果你朋友家阳光明媚，那多肉植物就说得通了。后文讲到兰花生长在潮湿的森林中。可以得出此处讲的是环境潮湿的一种情况。结合选项看，只有G符合题意。故选G项。
【18题详解】C 本句为段落的中心句，由后文讲到在挑选植物礼物时，向销售人员询问更多信息，以确保你选择的礼物与最终的结果相匹配。可以看出，买植物做礼物之前了解关于该植物的信息是必要的。对比选项可以看出，只有C项符合题意。故选C项。
【19题详解】 E 由后文：If their leaves dry up,they’re nt getting enugh water.If they’re reaching their leaves tward the light,they may need mre f it.可以看出，植物是否需要浇水和阳光，通过观察植物本身的特点就可以得出。所以，前面的句子应该是对这两句做总说。结合选项，只有E项符合。故选E项。
【20题详解】B 通过前一个句子：Yu dn’t need t wrap it,as a simple bw is enugh.你不需要把它包起来，一个简单的蝴蝶结就足够了，讲的是送植物为礼物的简单方式，后一句It’s a way t ensure yur gift gets a gd start in life.这是一种确保你的天赋，在生活中有个好的开始的方法。讲的也是方法，所以空白处讲的同样是一种方式，对比答案发现只有B项符合题意。故选B项。
【名师点睛】
在答题中，应首先略读一下短文，了解一下短文的大致意思，然后把几个选项含义理解透，尤其注意意思相近，表达有交叉的选项之间的区别。然后再细读短文，把答案填入合适位置。答题时可以把含义相近的几个选项轮流填入同一处位置，反复阅读，反复体会，找出最佳选项，对于实在没有把握的小题可以留待最后完成。完成短文后，再认真通读一遍全文，看看上下语意是否通顺，是否符合逻辑关系。

【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了由于人满为患、乱扔垃圾,作者担心乞力马扎罗山的美名不副实。可喜的是,当地政府的努力有了回报,山脉生态在慢慢恢复之中。
21. D解析由上文“每年大约有四万人试图攀爬乞力马扎罗山”和下文“或许会破坏它的美感”可知,众多的登山者带来了许多垃圾。bring with“带来”。故选D项。

23. B解析根据上文讲述的乞力马扎罗山的气候环境变化和下文的“其他旅游景点被描述得更加纯净天然”可知,此处意为听完这些故事,“我”对乞力马扎罗山的自然美景持怀疑态度。skeptical“怀疑的”;silent“沉默的”;serius“严肃的”;crazy“疯狂的”。故选B项。

25. D解析本句提到作者在营地和道路旁边看到了许多厕所,与在报道中出现的垃圾堆中的营地截然不同,干净卫生。故选D项。
26. C解析前文提到了作者担心乞力马扎罗山面临的严峻的环境问题会毁坏它在人们心目中的美的形象。此处指的是面临的环境考验是显而易见的(significant)。故选C项。
27. A解析本句but表示转折关系,虽然环境面临着考验,坦桑尼亚国家公园管理局做出的努力似乎挺奏效。pay ff“成功;奏效;达到目的”;spread ut“展开;铺开”;blw up“爆炸”;fade away“逐渐消失”。故选A项。
28. D解析由下文可知,乞力马扎罗山的很多山脉被许多文化视为精神家园。be regarded as...“被视为……”。故选D项。

31. C解析由上文可知,低云压山,茂密的草丛覆盖着山腰,本句则为从作者所站之处望去可以数到12种浓淡深浅的绿色。故选C项。
32. B解析此处指的是4 000米以上为高原沙漠环境。根据下文的砾石、石头和岩石可知为类沙漠环境的描述。desert“沙漠”;village“村庄”;rad“道路”; lake“湖泊”。故选B项。
33. D解析由上文可知,作者已经讲了四种生态系统:rainfrest,lw grwing plants,thick grass,highland desert,还有最后的也是最冷的arctic-like zne(类北极地带),故选D项。
34. A解析本句意为“类北极地带上方有永久的积雪和冰川,但它们可能不久后会融化”。permanent“永久的”;little“小的”;fresh“新鲜的”;artificial“人造的”。故选A项。
35. B解析文章最后作者发出感慨:一个人满为患,破坏了原有宁静的乞力马扎罗山还能名副其实吗?“我”发现恰恰相反。故选B项。
第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分） 【答案】
36. frmally； 37. as；38. cvers； 39. a；40. What； 41. has set；
42. shrten； 43. using；44. them； 45. t receive；
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了北京大兴国际机场的开幕以及里面的科技设备——面部识别等信息。
【36题详解】考查副词。根据后面动词“pened”可知，此处应用副词修饰动词pened。故填frmally。
【37题详解】考查介词。be listed as是固定短语，意为“被列为，被记录”。故填as。
【38题详解】考查动词和主谓一致。分析句子可知，前面有非谓语动词cnsisting，该句缺少谓语动词，且主语“The new airprt cmplex”是单数，所以此处应用cvers。故填cvers。
【39题详解】考查冠词。分析句子可知，此处泛指“一次旅行”，且jurney的读音是以辅音音素开头，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
【40题详解】考查主语从句。分析句子可知，该句中谓语动词is前面的是主语，所以空处引导主语从句，且在从句中作主语，所以应用what引导。故填What。
【41题详解】考查时态。already是现在完成时的标志，表明某件事情已经完成，所以此处应用现在完成时。故填has set。
【42题详解】考查动词。助动词can后接动词原形，所以此处应有动词形式shrten。故填shrten。
【43题详解】考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处应用非谓语动词，动词use与其逻辑主语travelers之间是主动关系，应用现在分词。故填using。
【44题详解】考查代词。动词relay后接代词的宾格形式，所以此处用them。故填them。
【45题详解】考查动词不定式。expect t d sth.是固定搭配，意为“期望做某事”。故填t receive。
