第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
At 2：30 on December 5, 1945, five US Navy training planes took off in clear weather from the base Lauderdale, Florida. The planes flew east over the coast... and disappeared. The group was Flight 19, on a run between Florida and Bahamas. Tailor was the group leader. At about 3: 40, Tailor reported that his compasses were not reading properly. The other planes followed their leaders aimlessly，first east, then west, then northeast over the ocean, as Tailor tried to make sure of the direction by radio. Then, suddenly Tailor was heard to give orders to dive...
Quickly, two giant Martin seaplanes were sent up to search for Flight 19. Several hours later，the wind became strong and visibility(能见度) dropped. A return to base was ordered. But only one of the Martin seaplanes landed. Four days later, the Navy and Coast Guard combed a 100,000 square miles area with more than 100 planes and ships. No sign was ever shown of the missing planes.
Today, people have noted the disappearance of many ships and planes in the southwest part of the North Atlantic and began to call this area the Bermuda Triangle(百慕大三角区)．
The points of the triangle are Bermuda, Puerto Rico and a spot in the Gulf of Mexico, west of Florida. It is a two－faced water world of tiny islands, bright beaches and beautiful waters. Yet thick fogs, powerful currents (激流) and sudden storms are hidden behind this smiling surface.
21．Why did Flight 19 disappear?
A．Because the wind became strong and visibility dropped.
B．Because Tailor was given wrong orders to dive.
C．Because Tailor couldn't read his compasses correctly.
D．Because something unknown made the compasses unable to work as usual.
答案：D 根据第一段中的“At about 340，Tailor reported that his compasses were not reading properly.”可知选D项。
22．In what position did Flight 19 disappear?
A．In the southwest part of the North Atlantic Ocean.
B．In the northeast part of the North Atlantic Ocean.
C．To the southwest part of Bermuda in the Atlantic Ocean.
D．To the northeast part of Bermuda in the Atlantic Ocean.
答案：A 细节理解题。根据第三段可知：今天，我们已经记录了很多船只和飞机在北大西洋西南部的百慕大失踪。
23．Which of the following shows the correct position of the Bermuda Triangle？(F＝Florida, Bm＝Bermuda, PR＝Puerto Rico, Bh＝Bahamas, MG＝the Gulf of Mexico, Atl＝the Atlantic Ocean, B＝Base)
答案：A 细节理解题。联系全文可知A项正确。
24．The underlined word“combed”in the passage means“________”．
A．covered with
B．flew over
C．did up one's hair with a comb
D．searched all over
答案：D 词义推测题。从此词所在的句意看，combed意为“四处寻找”，故选D项。
B
The sun is setting on a summer night. At the entrance to a deep, dark cave, a few bats fly out. Then more and more of the small, furry creatures appear. Within a few minutes，a whole river of bats are pouring out of the cave, and they keep coming millions and millions of them.
Sound like a scary horror movie? Believe it or not, this scene takes place every night, all summer long, at Bracken Cave in Texas, where 20 million bats fly outside to feed on insects.
Every March or April, Mexican freetailed bats migrate up to 1609 kilometers from their winter home places, like mines, tunnels, hollow trees, and under bridges in Mexico to this cave. Soon after they arrive, each mother gives birth to one baby bat. As many as 500 baby bats live crammed (挤)into one square foot of space, and those bodies create nice warm temperatures to keep them warm and comfortable. With bad sight, how can mother bats recognize their own babies? Their good sense of smell helps them the most.
When the adult bats leave the cave at night to feed, they eat tons of insects in a single night, including many pests that eat farmers' crops. And they get rid of mosquitoes, too.
The cave, quiet in winter, is full of life all summer. The floor of the cave is covered with bugs. Gnats(蚊子) are flying around, and beetles are crawling up your leg when you walk in!
When twenty million bats fly out of one cave opening, they make a column (柱) so thick that they show up on the radar at the nearby airport. So much for bats being scary!
25．What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A．To explain the living habits of bats.
B．To describe what bats look like.
C．To talk about a frightening scene of a film.
D．To introduce the topic of the passage.
答案：D 推理判断题。第一段中描述了大群的蝙蝠从洞中飞出的壮观景象，是为了引出下文要谈到的主题。
26．Why do Mexican freetailed bats fly to Bracken Cave in Texas?
A．To escape from the cold of Mexico.
B．To give birth and raise their young.
C．To gather plenty of food for winter.
D．To help farmers in Texas kill harmful insects.
答案：B 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句话的“Soon after they arrive, each mother gives birth to one baby bat.”可知蝙蝠夏天飞到德克萨斯州的一个岩洞是为了产下后代并抚育它们。
27．Which of the following senses helps mother bats recognize their babies?
A．Touch. B．Sight.
C．Smell. D．Taste.
答案：C 细节理解题。根据第三段的末句“Their good sense of smell helps them the most.”可知视力很差的蝙蝠是靠敏锐的嗅觉识别自己的孩子。
28．According to the passage, we can learn that________.
A．the bats living in the cave benefit the local farmers
B．Mexican free－tailed bats prevent other animals living in the cave
C．the large group of Mexican bats sometimes destroy the local radar
D．caves are the places where Mexican bats live all the year round
答案：A 推理判断题。根据第四段“...they eat tons of insects in a single night, including many pests that eat farmers' crops. And they get rid of mosquitoes, too.”可知晚上觅食的蝙蝠可以吃掉几吨的昆虫，包括许多吃农民的庄稼的害虫，另外它们还吃蚊子，故A项正确。
C
When I was seven years old, my mom was diagnosed with cancer. For this type of cancer the survival rate is low. My family was devastated. I had no idea that every day with my mom had to he the absolute best because we didn't know if it would be our last. I didn't understand why everyone was suddenly taking time out of their busy lives to come over and sit on our couch.
The doctors told us my mom might survive with surgery. But it could also kill her. She agreed to have it. The surgery was scheduled for the day after Columbus Day. The day before the surgery I was off school, and my mom planned the best day of my life, everything I loved at seven. The day began with her waking me up saying, “Kate, I have a surprice for you. Come and see.” The surprise was a doll I had wanted for the longest time and a locket. Throughout the day, she told me everything that she thought I would need to know to grow up and be a good person; she told me to the best I could be and that I would always make her proud. The day was filled with laughter. For the first time in a long time I could see she was happy. Really happy.
The day passed and it was time for the surgery. There were no tears; I think I understood that I could lose my mom, because they did tell me she could die. We waited all day for news from the doctor. Everyone jumped when a door opened or anyone walked into the waiting room. Finally the doctor came in, and the news was what we had prayed for.
The experience that my family went through was truly a roller_coaster. I will never forget that day together, and how her illness pulled our family closer. I understand now how lucky we were. I truly appreciate life and honour my mom for being so strong.
29．After the author's mother was ill, the relatives ________.

A．She stayed at home to have a good rest.
B．She went to the doctors for advice.
C．She turned to her family for comfort.

A．How the doctors operated on the mother.
B．How the family prayed for the sick mother.
C．How the mother struggled against the cancer.

32．What does the author use “roller coaster” to show?
A．Life is full of pain and happiness all along.
B．Life is fair for everyone all the time.
C．Life is filled with pleasure forever.
D．Life is always full of difficulties.
答案：A 推理判断题。结合最后一段可知，妈妈生病给家人带来了痛苦，但同时也增进了家人间的感情。其实，生活也是如此，就像过山车一样，有低谷也有巅峰时刻，即生活中痛苦与幸福相随。
D
The key to happiness is within you. One of the first things you need to do is to truly love and accept yourself. You have to accept that you are not, and will never be, perfect.
Happiness comes also from satisfaction. When you finally accept the way things are, and are satisfied with everything else you have, you will realise that you have a lot of good things going for you.
You must also realise that you will not always succeed in everything you attempt. If you never lost anything, what would be the point of life? Failure is necessary to life, almost as necessary as the air we breathe. Though you do not always get what you want, it does not mean that you can not be happy.
Look at life as if it is one large scoreboard. Every time you take a good step forward in life, you will be earning yourself points. Even if at the end of the day, you only earned one or two points, you would feel better than if you lost a point or two. You'll know that it's worth your effort.
Happiness cannot be based purely on material possessions. Having the best car, greatest award, nicest house, or most money will not truly make you happy. It may seem that those people are happy on the outside, but material possessions can only make you so happy. They are a quick fix to fill an empty part of their life, but what they will need is another quick fix. Finally, they will become the worst type of unhappiness, the_people_with_everything,_and_nothing. If you look at everything in a positive light, you are more likely to be a happy person.
33．What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?
A．Those with material possessions feel empty inside.
B．Those with material possessions will lose them all one day.
C．The rich need to value their wealth or they'll be poor.
D．Nothing can make the rich happy though they have everything.
答案：A 句意理解题。本段讲了拥有物质财富的人往往会因为内心空虚而不开心。画线处是对前面内容的解释，只有A项符合。
34．Which of the following may the author regard as the most important thing to happiness?
A．Good connections.
B．Nice educational experiences.
C．Positive attitude.
D．Rich general knowledge.
答案：C 推理判断题。结合文章可知，作者认为人要想幸福就要有满足感，应该正确对待失败并有正确的金钱观。也就是说，积极的心态是幸福的重要因素。文章最后一句也给出了提示。
35．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．How Can We Fill the Empty Side of Ourselves?
B．How Should We Treat Material Possessions?
C．How Can We Succeed in Life?
D．How Can We Find Happiness Within?
答案：D 标题概括题。文章开头说明幸福的源泉，以此来引出寻找内心幸福的途径，即接受自己的缺点，满足于自己所拥有的，正确看待自己的失败等。只有D项表达最全面。

Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp
Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit—and that can be a very annoying thing.__36__Read on for some techniques worth trying.
1．__37__
People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性痴呆症)，according to a recent study.
__38__
Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or shortterm goals appear to do better. In other words，keep your brain looking forward.
2．Go for a walk.
Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact，exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain.__39__
3．Learn something new.
Take a Spanish class online，join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same tithe.__40__Or go dancing with your friends.
A．Focus on the future.
B．This can be especially harmful to the aged.
C．It should be something like learning gardening.
D．So take a few minutes each day to do some reading?
E．But don't worry if your schedule isn't filled with lifechanging events.
F．Luckily，research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.
G．In other words，when you take care of your body，you take care of your brain.

62．who/that 考查定语从句。引导定语从句，修饰先行词somebody，并且作主语，故用关系代词who/that。

67．in 考查介词。使用某种语言要用介词in。
68．where/to which 考查定语从句的引导词。return作“回，返回”讲时，为不及物动词，因此空格后的主要结构完整，只缺状语之类的。根据此句的结构可知，此处需要填一个既作定语修饰前面的the hotel，又同时在从句中作状语的词，因此填where或to which。
69．better 考查形容词比较级。由句意“有没有人更善于指路”可知，此处用形容词比较级形式，故用better。
70．passing 考查现在分词。现在分词作后置定语，与修饰语是主动关系。故用passing。

参考范文：
How to develop a sense of responsibility
Boys and girls，
May I have your attention, please? Now, I'll give a speech.
It is important for us to develop a sense of responsibility because one day we will have to live and work independently. We have to take responsibility for whatever we do.
However, some of us lack a sense of responsibility because they think they are still young and they don't have to take care of themselves. They always depend on parents for everything they need.
To develop a sense of responsibility, we should form the habit of sharing housework with our parents. For example, we should wash the dishes after dinner and wash our own clothes. Besides, we should learn to cooperate with others, knowing how to do our duty and complete the task as planned. We will have to face the consequences if we make mistakes.
That's all. Thank you.
本册综合技能测试（二）
本试卷分第Ⅰ卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)两部分，共150分。考试时间120分钟。
第Ⅰ卷(选择题)
第一部分 听力
第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
At 2：30 on December 5, 1945, five US Navy training planes took off in clear weather from the base Lauderdale, Florida. The planes flew east over the coast... and disappeared. The group was Flight 19, on a run between Florida and Bahamas. Tailor was the group leader. At about 3: 40, Tailor reported that his compasses were not reading properly. The other planes followed their leaders aimlessly，first east, then west, then northeast over the ocean, as Tailor tried to make sure of the direction by radio. Then, suddenly Tailor was heard to give orders to dive...
Quickly, two giant Martin seaplanes were sent up to search for Flight 19. Several hours later，the wind became strong and visibility(能见度) dropped. A return to base was ordered. But only one of the Martin seaplanes landed. Four days later, the Navy and Coast Guard combed a 100,000 square miles area with more than 100 planes and ships. No sign was ever shown of the missing planes.
Today, people have noted the disappearance of many ships and planes in the southwest part of the North Atlantic and began to call this area the Bermuda Triangle(百慕大三角区)．
The points of the triangle are Bermuda, Puerto Rico and a spot in the Gulf of Mexico, west of Florida. It is a two－faced water world of tiny islands, bright beaches and beautiful waters. Yet thick fogs, powerful currents (激流) and sudden storms are hidden behind this smiling surface.

The sun is setting on a summer night. At the entrance to a deep, dark cave, a few bats fly out. Then more and more of the small, furry creatures appear. Within a few minutes，a whole river of bats are pouring out of the cave, and they keep coming millions and millions of them.
Sound like a scary horror movie? Believe it or not, this scene takes place every night, all summer long, at Bracken Cave in Texas, where 20 million bats fly outside to feed on insects.
Every March or April, Mexican freetailed bats migrate up to 1609 kilometers from their winter home places, like mines, tunnels, hollow trees, and under bridges in Mexico to this cave. Soon after they arrive, each mother gives birth to one baby bat. As many as 500 baby bats live crammed (挤)into one square foot of space, and those bodies create nice warm temperatures to keep them warm and comfortable. With bad sight, how can mother bats recognize their own babies? Their good sense of smell helps them the most.
When the adult bats leave the cave at night to feed, they eat tons of insects in a single night, including many pests that eat farmers' crops. And they get rid of mosquitoes, too.
The cave, quiet in winter, is full of life all summer. The floor of the cave is covered with bugs. Gnats(蚊子) are flying around, and beetles are crawling up your leg when you walk in!
When twenty million bats fly out of one cave opening, they make a column (柱) so thick that they show up on the radar at the nearby airport. So much for bats being scary!
25．What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A．To explain the living habits of bats.
B．To describe what bats look like.
C．To talk about a frightening scene of a film.
D．To introduce the topic of the passage.
答案：D 推理判断题。第一段中描述了大群的蝙蝠从洞中飞出的壮观景象，是为了引出下文要谈到的主题。
26．Why do Mexican freetailed bats fly to Bracken Cave in Texas?
A．To escape from the cold of Mexico.
B．To give birth and raise their young.
C．To gather plenty of food for winter.
D．To help farmers in Texas kill harmful insects.
答案：B 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句话的“Soon after they arrive, each mother gives birth to one baby bat.”可知蝙蝠夏天飞到德克萨斯州的一个岩洞是为了产下后代并抚育它们。
27．Which of the following senses helps mother bats recognize their babies?
A．Touch. B．Sight.
C．Smell. D．Taste.
答案：C 细节理解题。根据第三段的末句“Their good sense of smell helps them the most.”可知视力很差的蝙蝠是靠敏锐的嗅觉识别自己的孩子。
28．According to the passage, we can learn that________.
A．the bats living in the cave benefit the local farmers
B．Mexican free－tailed bats prevent other animals living in the cave
C．the large group of Mexican bats sometimes destroy the local radar
D．caves are the places where Mexican bats live all the year round
答案：A 推理判断题。根据第四段“...they eat tons of insects in a single night, including many pests that eat farmers' crops. And they get rid of mosquitoes, too.”可知晚上觅食的蝙蝠可以吃掉几吨的昆虫，包括许多吃农民的庄稼的害虫，另外它们还吃蚊子，故A项正确。
C
When I was seven years old, my mom was diagnosed with cancer. For this type of cancer the survival rate is low. My family was devastated. I had no idea that every day with my mom had to he the absolute best because we didn't know if it would be our last. I didn't understand why everyone was suddenly taking time out of their busy lives to come over and sit on our couch.
The doctors told us my mom might survive with surgery. But it could also kill her. She agreed to have it. The surgery was scheduled for the day after Columbus Day. The day before the surgery I was off school, and my mom planned the best day of my life, everything I loved at seven. The day began with her waking me up saying, “Kate, I have a surprice for you. Come and see.” The surprise was a doll I had wanted for the longest time and a locket. Throughout the day, she told me everything that she thought I would need to know to grow up and be a good person; she told me to the best I could be and that I would always make her proud. The day was filled with laughter. For the first time in a long time I could see she was happy. Really happy.
The day passed and it was time for the surgery. There were no tears; I think I understood that I could lose my mom, because they did tell me she could die. We waited all day for news from the doctor. Everyone jumped when a door opened or anyone walked into the waiting room. Finally the doctor came in, and the news was what we had prayed for.
The experience that my family went through was truly a roller_coaster. I will never forget that day together, and how her illness pulled our family closer. I understand now how lucky we were. I truly appreciate life and honour my mom for being so strong.

答案：A 推理判断题。结合最后一段可知，妈妈生病给家人带来了痛苦，但同时也增进了家人间的感情。其实，生活也是如此，就像过山车一样，有低谷也有巅峰时刻，即生活中痛苦与幸福相随。
D
The key to happiness is within you. One of the first things you need to do is to truly love and accept yourself. You have to accept that you are not, and will never be, perfect.
Happiness comes also from satisfaction. When you finally accept the way things are, and are satisfied with everything else you have, you will realise that you have a lot of good things going for you.
You must also realise that you will not always succeed in everything you attempt. If you never lost anything, what would be the point of life? Failure is necessary to life, almost as necessary as the air we breathe. Though you do not always get what you want, it does not mean that you can not be happy.
Look at life as if it is one large scoreboard. Every time you take a good step forward in life, you will be earning yourself points. Even if at the end of the day, you only earned one or two points, you would feel better than if you lost a point or two. You'll know that it's worth your effort.
Happiness cannot be based purely on material possessions. Having the best car, greatest award, nicest house, or most money will not truly make you happy. It may seem that those people are happy on the outside, but material possessions can only make you so happy. They are a quick fix to fill an empty part of their life, but what they will need is another quick fix. Finally, they will become the worst type of unhappiness, the_people_with_everything,_and_nothing. If you look at everything in a positive light, you are more likely to be a happy person.
33．What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?
A．Those with material possessions feel empty inside.
B．Those with material possessions will lose them all one day.
C．The rich need to value their wealth or they'll be poor.
D．Nothing can make the rich happy though they have everything.
答案：A 句意理解题。本段讲了拥有物质财富的人往往会因为内心空虚而不开心。画线处是对前面内容的解释，只有A项符合。
34．Which of the following may the author regard as the most important thing to happiness?
A．Good connections.
B．Nice educational experiences.
C．Positive attitude.
D．Rich general knowledge.
答案：C 推理判断题。结合文章可知，作者认为人要想幸福就要有满足感，应该正确对待失败并有正确的金钱观。也就是说，积极的心态是幸福的重要因素。文章最后一句也给出了提示。
35．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．How Can We Fill the Empty Side of Ourselves?
B．How Should We Treat Material Possessions?
C．How Can We Succeed in Life?
D．How Can We Find Happiness Within?
答案：D 标题概括题。文章开头说明幸福的源泉，以此来引出寻找内心幸福的途径，即接受自己的缺点，满足于自己所拥有的，正确看待自己的失败等。只有D项表达最全面。

Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp
Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit—and that can be a very annoying thing.__36__Read on for some techniques worth trying.
1．__37__
People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性痴呆症)，according to a recent study.
__38__
Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or shortterm goals appear to do better. In other words，keep your brain looking forward.
2．Go for a walk.
Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact，exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain.__39__
3．Learn something new.
Take a Spanish class online，join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same tithe.__40__Or go dancing with your friends.
A．Focus on the future.
B．This can be especially harmful to the aged.
C．It should be something like learning gardening.
D．So take a few minutes each day to do some reading?
E．But don't worry if your schedule isn't filled with lifechanging events.
F．Luckily，research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.
G．In other words，when you take care of your body，you take care of your brain.

62．who/that 考查定语从句。引导定语从句，修饰先行词somebody，并且作主语，故用关系代词who/that。

67．in 考查介词。使用某种语言要用介词in。
68．where/to which 考查定语从句的引导词。return作“回，返回”讲时，为不及物动词，因此空格后的主要结构完整，只缺状语之类的。根据此句的结构可知，此处需要填一个既作定语修饰前面的the hotel，又同时在从句中作状语的词，因此填where或to which。
69．better 考查形容词比较级。由句意“有没有人更善于指路”可知，此处用形容词比较级形式，故用better。
70．passing 考查现在分词。现在分词作后置定语，与修饰语是主动关系。故用passing。

How are you? Today I've got a wonderful news to tell you. I have offered a scholarship at a university in Australia for my further education. One hundreds and twenty students took exams but only a few was chosen and I was one of them. However, my parents are not happy about it. They are strong against me going there.

How to develop a sense of responsibility
Boys and girls，
May I have your attention, please? Now, I'll give a speech.
It is important for us to develop a sense of responsibility because one day we will have to live and work independently. We have to take responsibility for whatever we do.
However, some of us lack a sense of responsibility because they think they are still young and they don't have to take care of themselves. They always depend on parents for everything they need.
To develop a sense of responsibility, we should form the habit of sharing housework with our parents. For example, we should wash the dishes after dinner and wash our own clothes. Besides, we should learn to cooperate with others, knowing how to do our duty and complete the task as planned. We will have to face the consequences if we make mistakes.
That's all. Thank you.
