A
How to say Hello in Spanish?
You probably already know basic greetings like “¡Hola!” and “¿Cómo estás”. There are also various ways to say “Hi”, “Hello”, or “How are you” in Spanish. Learning how to greet someone is the first step to make a conversation in Spanish. Here is a list of Spanish greetings that you can use in formal and informal situations:
1.¡Hola! = Hello/Hi
This is the most common greeting in Spanish. It can be used to greet any person in any situation.
Pronounce it “oh-la” and keep the “h” silent.
2.¿Qué pasa? = What’s happening?
¿Qué tal?/¿Qué hay? = What’s up?
¿Qué haces? = What are you doing?/What are you up to?
These expressions are often used when talking to your friends or acquaintances.
3.¿Cómo está? = How are you? (formal)
¿Cómo estás? = How are you? (informal)
Saying “How are you” is also a way to greet someone in Spanish. However, in Spanish, you need to change the form of “estar” depending on the person you’re greeting.
When you are talking to someone older than you or someone in a position of authority, you can say “¿Cómo está?” or “¿Cómo está usted?” which both mean “How are you”.
When you are talking to someone of your age or younger, say “¿Cómo estás?”.
When you greet a group of people, you would say ¿Cómo están?. The “n” at the end shows that you just said hello to everyone.
1. Which pronunciation of ¡Hola! is wrong?
A. O la. B. HO la. C. EO la. D. OR la.
2. Acquaintances can take place of _________.
A. teens B. relatives C. passer-by D. street performer
3. How can we describe Spanish by this article?
A. Difficult. B. Polite. C. Practical. D. Interesting.
【答案】1. B 2. B 3. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍可以在正式和非正式场合使用的西班牙语问候语列表告诉读者如何用西班牙语打招呼。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。由1.¡Hola! = Hello/Hi中的“Pronounce it “oh-la” and keep the “h” silent. (发音为“oh-la”并保持“h”不发音)”可知，¡Hola!中h不发音，读音HO la错误。故选B项。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。由2.¿Qué pasa? = What’s happening?中的“These expressions are often used when talking to your friends or acquaintances. (这些表达在与朋友或熟人交谈时经常使用)”可知，“熟人（acquaintances）”应该和“朋友（friends）”一样是生活中比较亲近常见的人，“亲戚（relatives）”可代替“熟人（acquaintances）”。故选B项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。由标题“How to say Hello in Spanish? (如何用西班牙语打招呼？)”和第一段中的“Here is a list of Spanish greetings that you can use in formal and informal situations (下面是一个西班牙语问候语列表，你可以在正式和非正式场合使用)”可知，文章通过介绍可以在正式和非正式场合使用的西班牙语问候语列表告诉读者如何用西班牙语打招呼，可得出本文描述的西班牙语很实用（Practical）。故选C项。
B
It was a rainy, damp December day. I was headed to the store to pick up another week’s worth of food. I had put off shopping for Christmas presents until later in the month but wasn’t looking forward to the crowd of Christmas shoppers while I grabbed my groceries. I kept the CD player on while I drove to avoid the radio news. It only spoke of the world’s huge problems and how divided we all still were. And it usually just left me feeling helpless.
Still, I gave my son a dollar to put in the bell-ringer’s pot at the door to the store. We went in and soon filled our cart with food. Then we walked towards the self-checkout machines. I hated using them. I much preferred to chat with the friendly cashiers, but the line at them was five deep and I just didn’t have the time. As I pulled my cart up, I heard an old man at the machine next to mine grumbling (嘟囔) under his breath, trying his hardest not to curse(诅咒). He only had a few items but every time he put his wrinkled, well-worn, twenty-dollar bill into the machine, the money was returned. I quickly grabbed a newer twenty out of my purse and gave it to him. He thanked me with a warm smile and paid for his goods. I told him to keep his money but he insisted that I take his old, torn twenty. I nodded, put it in my coat pocket, and wished him a Merry Christmas.
After checking out, I remembered something Mother Teresa had once said about how we all can change the world. “Help one person at a time,” she said, “and always start with the person nearest you.” I reached into my pocket, smiled, and went outside. Then I dropped that torn twenty into the bell-ringer’s pot and walked to my car with my son happily.
4. Why did the author feel helpless?
A. Radio provided unreliable news.
B. There was always a Christmas rush.
C. People were disconnected from each other.
D. Christmas was ruined by the terrible weather.
5. How did the author help the old man?
A. By paying for his shopping items.
B. By exchanging a newer note with him.
C. By teaching him how to use the machine.
D. By calling out the friendly cashier in time.
6. Why did the author give twenty dollars to the bell-ringer?
A She wanted to pursue Mother Teresa’s ideas.
B. She desired to spread Mother Teresa’s words.
C. She expected to set a good example to her son.
D. She hoped to have a meaningful day with her son.
7. What’s the best title for the text?
A. A Better World B. The Person Nearest You
C. The Christmas Spirit D. A Twenty-Dollar Bill
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在一次去商店买东西的时候，帮助了一个在自助结账机结账时遇到问题的人的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“I kept the CD player on while I drove to avoid the radio news. It only spoke of the world’s huge problems and how divided we all still were. And it usually just left me feeling helpless.(我开车时一直开着CD播放机，以避开广播新闻。它只谈论世界上的大问题，以及我们之间仍然存在的分歧。这通常只会让我感到无助。)”可知，因为作者认为人与人之间的联系并不密切存在，人与人之间的联系被切断，所以作者感到无助。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“He only had a few items but every time he put his wrinkled, well-worn, twenty-dollar bill into the machine, the money was returned. I quickly grabbed a newer twenty out of my purse and gave it to him.(他只有几样东西，但每次他把皱巴巴的、破旧的20美元钞票放进机器里，钱就被退回了。我很快从钱包里掏出一个更新一些的20美元给了他。)”以及“I told him to keep his money but he insisted that I take his old, torn twenty.(我告诉他留下他的钱，但他坚持要我拿走他那破旧的20美元。)”可知，作者通过和老人交换了一张新的钞票来帮助老人。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“After checking out, I remembered something Mother Teresa had once said about how we all can change the world. “Help one person at a time,” she said, “and always start with the person nearest you.”(结账后，我想起了特蕾莎修女曾经说过的关于我们如何改变世界的话。“一次帮助一个人，”她说，“总是从离你最近的人开始。”)”可知，作者给了敲钟人20美元是因为作者想到了特蕾莎修女的话，想要贯彻特蕾莎修女的想法。故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“After checking out, I remembered something Mother Teresa had once said about how we all can change the world. “Help one person at a time,” she said, “and always start with the person nearest you.”(结账后，我想起了特蕾莎修女曾经说过的关于我们如何改变世界的话。“一次帮助一个人，”她说，“总是从离你最近的人开始。”)”以及文章内容可知，文章讲述了去帮助别人的故事，帮助别人要从离你最近的人开始，所以“离你最近的人”可以作为文章标题。故选B项。
C
When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl ( 水 禽 ) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat.
In 1934, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory ( 迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. “Ding” Darling, a political cartoonist from Des Moines, lowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources.
About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System — a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.
8. What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America?
A. Loss of wetlands. B. Popularity of water sports.
C. Pollution of rivers. D. Arrival of other wild animals.
9. What does the underlined word “decimate” mean in the first paragraph?
A. Acquire. B. Export.
C. Destroy. D. Distribute.
10. What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934?
A. The stamp price has gone down. B. The migratory birds have flown away.
C. The hunters have stopped hunting. D. The government has collected money.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Federal Duck Stamp Story B. The National Wildlife Refuge System
C. The Benefits of Saving Waterfowl D. The History of Migratory Bird Hunting
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。本文讲述了美国鸭票的故事，由于美国移民的大量流入，对于农地和住房的急需大量的水禽栖息地被破坏导致美国水禽骤减，因此美国发行了鸭票，狩猎者只有购买了鸭票才能狩猎，而鸭票的部分收入进入到了用于购买水禽栖息地的基金，从而保护了水禽。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat.”可知，上百万公顷的湿地被抽干用作农地或者修建住房，极大地减少了水禽的栖息地，故可知，栖息地的减少导致了水禽数量的下降，故选A。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据前一句“Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely.”可知，北美的土著人把这些珍贵的自然资源保护的很合理，本句中的“Unfortunately”可知，本句与上一句形成了转折，前一句陈述北美土著人做的好的地方，故可知，本句阐述移民者做的不好的地方，即移民者破坏了这些自然资源，故画线词意思是“破坏”。A. Acquire获得；B. Export出口；C. Destroy破坏；D. Distribute分配。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat.”可知，自1934年起，超过5亿美元进入到了这个基金会，购买了超过500万公顷的水禽栖息地，故可以推出，通过发行鸭票，美国政府获得了大量的资金，故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文可知，由于之前不恰当的发展导致美国水禽骤减，因此美国发行了鸭票，狩猎者只有购买了鸭票才能狩猎，而鸭票的部分收入进入到了用于购买水禽栖息地的基金，从而保护了水禽，故可知，本文讲述美国鸭票的故事，故选A。
D
It seemed interesting that on the eve of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s departure for France, the Indian and French governments issued similar statements on the prospects of an agreement on the purchase of the Rafale aircraft: that no single deal should be allowed to overshadow the Prime Minister’s visit. Indeed, India-France relations are much bigger than any one contract; they represent the cultural affinityl (密切关系) and historic relations between two vibrant (醒目的) democracies. The items on the Prime Minister’s agenda reflected the range of commonalities — from the preservation of ancient architecture to the development of Puducherry and Chandigarh as smart cities; from the construction of semi-high-speed railway lines to cooperation on a space mission to Mars; from discussing anti-terror training to tackling climate change through renewable technologies and a robust nuclear partnership. The economic aspect of the relationship has been ignored for too long. Although more than a thousand French companies have a total investment of about $20 billion in India, bilateral trade is worth just $8 billion. While all this deserved attention, it was disappointing that the Prime Minister put the spotlight back on defence ties by making a surprise announcement on the purchase of 36 Rafale aircraft as the highlight of his talks with President Francois Hollande. If the outright purchase was a crucial military necessity, it could have been discussed a few weeks before or after the visit, as a political push for the deal was secondary to the technical specifications and delivery requirements. Moreover, the deal, which involves purchasing products off the shelf abroad, detracts from Mr. Modi’s “Make in India” initiative (主动性).
The breakthrough on the Areva nuclear equipment deal, on the other hand, shows the positive outcome of Mr. Modi’s and Mr. Hollande’s political push, combined with a “Make in India” twist. As in the case of Indo-U.S. nuclear negotiations, Mr. Modi and Mr. Hollande decided to clear the logjam by splitting the problem into different silos — allowing for separate mechanisms for the pricing issues and for the technical and legal aspects. The supplementary deal involving Areva and L&T producing heavy forging metal casing for nuclear reactors is an important step in localising some of the expensive parts. During his visit to Canada, where he hopes to sign a deal for uranium supplies, Mr. Modi means to take forward his plan to increase nuclear energy production. Given this objective, it may be useful for him to round off the visit by discussing his nuclear energy plans in Germany as well, which is now winding down on nuclear power but is at the cutting edge of nuclear safety research for the European Pressurised Reactors that are being considered for India.
12. Which of the following got the whole attention other than many important deals?
A. Cooperation on a space mission to Mars. B. Anti-terror training.
C. Purchase of Rafale Fighters. D. General VK Singh’s remark on the Press.
13. Which of the following option is on the agenda of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi as stated above?
A. Preservation of ancient architecture.
B. Development of Puducherry and Chandigarh as smart cities.
C. Construction of semi-high-speed railway lines.
D. All of the above.
14. Choose an appropriate Title for the above passage: .
A. The Big Deal B. Modi’s Success C. Modi’s tour to France D. Rafale and beyond
15. Which of the following is the meaning of the word ‘logjam’?
A. A long traffic jam during Prime Minister Modi’s visit.
B. A state of mind where you cannot decide what to do.
C. A situation that seems like unable to be settled.
D. A place from where The French President used to work.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了印度总理Narendra Modi法国之行中在法国签署两项协议的相关情况。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段中的“While all this deserved attention, it was disappointing that the Prime Minister put the spotlight back on defence ties by making a surprise announcement on the purchase of 36 Rafale aircraft as the highlight of his talks with President Francois Hollande. If the outright purchase was a crucial military necessity, it could have been discussed a few weeks before or after the visit, as a political push for the deal was secondary to the technical specifications and delivery requirements. Moreover, the deal, which involves purchasing products off the shelf abroad, detracts from Mr. Modi’s “Make in India” initiative (主动性). (尽管所有这些都值得关注，但令人失望的是，总理出人意料地宣布购买36架“阵风”战斗机，作为他与法国总统Francois Hollande会谈的重点，从而将焦点重新放在了国防关系上。如果直接购买是一项至关重要的军事必要性，那么可以在访问之前或之后几周进行讨论，因为政治上推动该交易的力度仅次于技术规格和交付要求。此外，该协议涉及到在国外购买现成产品，有损于Modi的“印度制造”计划)”可知，印度总理Narendra Modi要在法国购买36架“阵风”战斗机，人们对此很失望、费解，可得出这一行为引起了人们的关注。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段中的“The items on the Prime Minister’s agenda reflected the range of commonalities — from the preservation of ancient architecture to the development of Puducherry and Chandigarh as smart cities; from the construction of semi-high-speed railway lines to cooperation on a space mission to Mars; from discussing anti-terror training to tackling climate change through renewable technologies and a robust nuclear partnership. (总理议程上的项目反映了一系列共同点——从古建筑的保护到普杜切里和昌迪加尔作为智慧城市的发展；从修建半高速铁路到合作火星太空任务；从讨论反恐培训到通过可再生技术和强大的核伙伴关系应对气候变化)”可知，纳伦德拉·莫迪总理的议程上包括：古建筑保护、将普杜切里和昌迪加尔发展为智慧城市和修建半高速铁路线。故选D项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段讲述“印度总理Narendra Modi在法国签署购买36架“阵风”战斗机协议的相关情况”和第二段讲述“印度总理Narendra Modi在法国签署阿海珐核设备协议的相关情况”可知，文章主要讲印度总理Narendra Modi在法国签署两项协议的相关情况，C项“Modi的法国之行”符合文意。故选C项。
【15题详解】
词句猜测题。第二段中的“The breakthrough on the Areva nuclear equipment deal, on the other hand, shows the positive outcome of Mr. Modi’s and Mr. Hollande’s political push, combined with a “Make in India” twist. As in the case of Indo-U.S. nuclear negotiations, Mr. Modi and Mr. Hollande decided to clear the logjam by splitting the problem into different silos — allowing for separate mechanisms for the pricing issues and for the technical and legal aspects. (另一方面，阿海珐核设备协议的突破显示了Modi和Hollande政治努力的积极成果，以及“印度制造”的转变。就像印度-美国核谈判一样，Modi和Hollande决定通过将问题分成不同的筒仓来消除logjam，从而为定价问题以及技术和法律方面建立单独的机制)”可知，在Modi和Hollande政治努力下，通过将问题分成不同的筒仓，定价问题以及技术和法律方面才能建立单独的机制，说明之前的问题难以解决，logjam在此处意为“似乎无法解决的局面（A situation that seems like unable to be settled）”。故选C项。

【名师点睛】
完形填空题解题，必须进行通篇考虑，掌握大意，综合所学词法、句法和常识进行分析判断。
1. 复现解题法：这类题多为同义词、近义词和反义词的复现或同义词、近义词和反义词异形复现的形式。这种测试手法主要是考查考生的整体篇章意识和上下文推断能力。如42题中的river。
2. 语法结构法： 这类题需要考生有较为扎实的语法基础知识，能够从句式的结构上辨别出须填相关的关联词、连词、副词、形容词或相应的动词，当然还要考虑到主谓一致的关系等语法知识要点。如43题中“In China, the mother river is the Yellow River, 43 the Indian one is the Hindu River.”前后两个分句是比较的关系，用while连接。
3. 固定搭配解题法：这类题与语法结构题有点类似，但主要惯用搭配，讲究词与词的搭配，涉及到关联词、动词、副词、形容词、名词和短语等。如54题“So the American culture doesn't 54 from the European one a lot.”就需要知道短语come from的含义，这就要求对短语有一定的积累和保持敏感度。
4.逻辑语气解题法：这类题主要是通过分了解全文的人物、时间、地点等信息之后，再分析句子与句子之间的关系，段落与段落之间的关系来解题。这种逻辑语气主要包含并列、递进、因果、转折和委婉语气等等。这类题的选项多为连词、副词或具有连词意义的各类短语。如60题中的“ 60 they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference from the other.”与前一句是因果关系，所以用表示结果的连词therefore。

44. unhealthy
45. who 46. Living
47. So 48. have been built

【解析】

【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：Saturation City居民娱乐和体育活动在漂浮在海底城市海面上的岛屿上进行。该空用抽象名词entertainment和名词sports一起作句子主语。故填entertainment。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：鉴于其壮丽的景色，其中迷人的景色是令人叹为观止的日落，该岛以其美妙的文化而闻名，这是不同文化的结合，发展了当地的文化体系。形容词attractive作定语，修饰名词sight。故填attractive。
【43题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：鉴于其壮丽的景色，其中迷人的景色是令人叹为观止的日落，该岛以其美妙的文化而闻名，这是不同文化的结合，发展了当地的文化体系。该空是谓语，固定搭配be known for…(因……闻著名)，讲述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语the island单数，谓语单数形式。故填is known。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意：他们之所以在那里，是因为居住在Saturation City的人一次停留超过十天是不健康的。结合下文“(live) under the sea at great pressure (压力) has bad effects on the body, similar to living for a long time in space”可知，长时间生活在水下是不健康的，用形容词unhealthy (不健康的)作表语。故填unhealthy。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意：他们之所以在那里，是因为居住在Saturation City的人一次停留超过十天是不健康的。该空引导限制性定语从句，先行词是those，指人，在从句中作主语，用关系代词who。故填who。

【47题详解】

【48题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：几年来，建造浮岛是为了提供三种不同的服务。该空是谓语，结合时间状语For several years且主语the floating islands和谓语动词build是被动关系，用现在完成时的被动语态，主语the floating islands是复数，谓语复数形式。故填have been built。
【49题详解】
考查介词。句意：其中一家是一家酒店，有许多房间供家庭放松，同时他们的身体在承受巨大压力后恢复正常。介词短语“with +名词”作名词a hotel的后置定语，用介词with (带有)。故填with。
【50题详解】
考查介词。句意：其中一家是一家酒店，有许多房间供家庭放松，同时他们的身体在承受巨大压力后恢复正常。此处指“身体在承受巨大压力后恢复正常”，用介词after (之后)。故填after。

One Saturday morning, I suddenly notice my room was a completely mess, what really annoyed me. I realized too many useful things took up a lot of space. So I decided to throw it away and do some cleanings. It took me a whole day get all the work done. Finally the room was tidy again and everything was in the order. This was also true for life: We add more and more to our life, hope to have a better life. But sometimes the more we add, the bad our life becomes. After all, sometimes less is more.
【答案】1. notice→noticed
2. completely→complete
3. what→which
4. useful→useless
5. it→them
6. 在get前面加to
7. 去掉the
8. was→is
9. hope→hoping
10. bad→worse
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个星期六的早晨，作者突然发现房间乱七八糟的，让作者很恼火；作者花了一整天的时间把所有的工作做完，最后，房间变得井然有序，作者意识到生活也是如此：生活也应从简，有时候少就是多。
【详解】1. 考查时态。句意：一个星期六的早上，我突然发现我的房间乱七八糟，这让我很恼火。结合全文时态主要以一般过去时为主，事情已发生，谓语动词notice用一般过去时。故将notice改为noticed。
2. 考查形容词。句意：一个星期六的早上，我突然发现我的房间乱七八糟，这让我很恼火。形容词complete作定语，修饰名词mess。故将completely改为complete。
3. 考查定语从句关系词。句意：一个星期六的早上，我突然发现我的房间乱七八糟，这让我很恼火。此处是一个非限制定语从句，先行词指“my room was a complete mess”这件事，在从句中缺主语，用关系代词which来引导。故将what改为which。
4. 考查形容词。句意：我意识到太多无用的东西占用了很多空间。形容词useful (有用的)不合句意，形容词useless (无用的)作定语，修饰名词things。故将useful改为useless。
5. 考查代词。句意：所以我决定把它们扔掉，做些清洁。此处的宾格代词them指代上文中的“useless things”。故将it改为them。
6. 考查动词不定式。句意：我花了一整天的时间才把所有的工作做完。It takes/took sb. some time to do sth.为固定句型，意为“花费某人多长时间做某事”。故在get前面加to。
7. 考查固定搭配。句意：最后，房间又整洁了，一切都井然有序。固定搭配in order (井然有序、有条理)。故去掉the。
8. 考查时态。句意：生活也是如此：我们为生活增添了越来越多的东西，希望有一个更好的生活。此处描述客观事实，系动词be应用一般现在时。故将was改为is。
9. 考查现在分词。句意：生活也是如此：我们为生活增添了越来越多的东西，希望有一个更好的生活。本句已有谓语add且无连词，动词hope用非谓语形式，逻辑主语We与动词hope是主谓关系，hope用现在分词（doing）表主动，作状语。故将hope改为hoping。
10. 考查形容词比较级。句意：但有时我们加的越多，我们的生活就越糟糕。“the +比较级，the +比较级”是固定句型，意为“越……越……”，用形容词bad的比较级worse。故将bad改为worse。
