11．（8分）If you wanted to get as far away from other people as you possibly could，Easter Island would be a good place to go.It's about 2，000 kilometers from its nearest neighbors，out in the southern Pacific Ocean.
Easter Island is a small triangle about 3，500 kilometers west of Republic of Chile.Easter Island is a special part of Chile.It was discovered by a Dutch pioneer in 1722，but it had been there for about 1，000 years before that.Scientists think that the first pioneers on Easter Island came from the Marguesas Islands，more than 3，000 kilometers away.Imagine making that journey in such a small boat!
______The moai are statues of men with huge heads and stem faces，lining many of the island's coasts.People believe the statues are symbols of ancestors.Easter Islanders put the statues up to allow the ancestors to continue to watch over their lands.The moai were made between AD 1100 and AD 1680.Wonderfully，Easter Islanders used only hand tools to make them!Some of these statues weigh more than 80 tons!People aren't sure how these statues were moved.It must have taken many people working together to move them.
In addition to the moai，Easter Island has other stone carvings，stone buildings，and wood carvings.This unusual culture developed its own written language，though most of it has been lost.Easter Island has had many tragedies，including war，hunger，disease，and environmental disasters.It can be difficult to be so far from the rest of the world.But Easter Islanders seem hardy and strong，like their statues.They are keeping their ancient culture while connecting more and more with the outside world.

（1）What's true about the location of Easter Island？ 　 　
A.It's in the north of the Pacific.
B.It lies in Republic of Chile.
C.It lies close to Marquesas Island.
D.It's in the ocean near Dutch.
（2）Which sentence can be put in the ______ in the third paragraph？ 　 　
A.Easter Island has its own ancient DIY.
B.Easter Islanders created their stone statues by hand.
C.Easter Island is famous for its huge stone statues called moai.
D.The huge stone statues needed many Easter Islanders to work together.
（3）What does the underlined word "tragedies" probably mean？ 　 　
A.Sad plays.
B.Terrible situations.
C.Awful accidents.
D.Dangerous experiences.
（4）Where is the passage probably taken from？ 　 　
A.A story book.
B.A science website.
C.A travel magazine.
D.A sports newspaper.

12．（8分）How cool would it be to have a flying robot？What's the first thing you would do with it？Maybe send it into war，or use it to watch your neighbors secretly？Well，this is not just a fantasy anymore.Drones are remote﹣controlled flying robots，and they are getting more popular every day.But is this a good thing for society？
The popularity of drones has increased in recent years as technology has improved and got cheaper.A civil drone with a high﹣quality camera and four helicopter propellers now sells online for just a few hundred US dollars.Drones are extremely useful for making videos because their cameras link directly to phones or computers.Nowadays，anyone can get professional﹣looking fly﹣by pictures from different angles.
But could this cause problems？Because drones are so affordable，it means that anyone can send a robot flying around the neighborhood.People might be surprised to find a camera flying outside their window.This should be a terrible worry for people who care about their privacy.
Many governments also spend a lot of money on drones，but for very different reasons.The United States uses military drones for spying.Its most powerful drones，however，are Predator drones，which can fly higher than 15，000 meters at over 300 kilometers per hour. And no，they don't just take pretty videos. A predator drone can hold 360 kilograms worth of bombs，enough to completely break down an enemy camp.The man controlling the drone sits safely away from the action，so it's impossible to know for sure who is getting killed.Common people might be in danger.
Drones are new﹣born inventions with a new technology.People are still discovering their possible uses，and maybe someday you'll come up with a new cool way to use your own remote﹣controlled robot.

（1）How does the writer introduce the topic in the first paragraph？ 　 　
A.By telling a story.
B.By asking questions.
C.By showing facts.
D.By giving an example.
（2）What are the drones you can buy online most likely to be？ 　 　
A.They are usually sold online at a very high price.
B.They can be used to secretly take pictures of people.
C.They are difficultly controlled if used without good training.
D.They can be used for both photography and military purposes.
（3）Why does the writer use the sentence "And no，they don't just take pretty videos."？ 　 　
A.To compare military drones with media drones.
B.To suggest what military drones will do in the future.
C.To give an example of what military drones cannot do.
D.To show the same fact between military drones and civil drones.
（4）What can be the best title of the passage？ 　 　
A.A Great Research Military Drones
B.A Popular Technology：Video Drones
C.A New Invention：Remote﹣controlled Drones
D.A Useful Product：Remote﹣controlled Flying Robots

13．（13分）
Although I was the class clown at school，there's an introverted side to my personality.That's because I have a rarely seen disease that makes it hard for my brain to deal with the information what I see.Words swim on the page for me.I wanted to learn how to read but couldn't.
In primary school，I didn't talk to any teachers or family about this.I was clever at hiding it.When I had to write anything down，I guessed，forming what I hoped were the right words.I became good at learning by heart.
When I started secondary school，a student in class made me stand on a chair and read.It was terrible as a result I developed a bad stutter.I continued to fall through the net.The only thing I loved was practical biology.I wanted to be a doctor.
Then I left school and joined the army.I decided to be a doctor and trained hard.But things were discovered when I did a course in prehospital emergency care.I passed all my practical exams，preparing for them by watching others.The problem was the written exam.I was so hopeless but had to tell the examining doctor that I couldn't read.He asked me to get back into education.I was 34.
I made up my mind to attend the Open University （OU） to do a medical degree.It was back to basics on the course.I knew the letters and some words，but my vocabulary was small.I paid for a tutor，who worked with me every week，teaching me to understand words through pictures.
It took me nine years to get that degree.Now，aged 47，I'm an ambassador for the OU，winning an award for receiving education so late in life.I teach pre﹣hospital emergency care to medical school students.I also teach children and adults with learning difficulties because I want to give others the chances I had.
I still struggle to read a menu if I'm not wearing my special glasses，but luckily there's always someone around to lend me a hand.I look back and wonder how many other people have struggled with education and where they are now.My story suggests that no one should be discounted，ever.

（1）What did the writer do while facing his problem in primary school？ 　 　
A.He found a way to hide it.
B.He tried his best to forget it.
C.He managed to get over it.
D.He turned to teachers for help.
（2）What happened to the writer when he was in the army？ 　 　
A.He was encouraged to be a doctor.
B.He was advised to go back to university.
C.His speech disorder became worse.
D.He failed his exams and was asked to leave.
（3）Which can be the right order of the statements？ 　 　
a.He learned to read basic words.
b.He completed his medical degree.
c.He taught medical school students.
d.He wanted to get back to education.
A.d﹣a﹣b﹣c
B.d﹣b﹣a﹣c
C.a﹣d﹣c﹣b
D.a﹣c﹣d﹣b
（4）What's the main idea of the passage？ 　 　
A.College education can lead a person to success.
B.A strong will is the secret to achieving dreams.
C.Everyone should care about personal education.
D.Adults with learning difficulties need special care.
（5）What difficulties did the author have in his life？How did he solve them？（about 40 words） 　 　

五、词汇运用
14．（5分）用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，每词限用一次。

（5）People 　 　 World Book Day to encourage people to read and write since 1995.
15．（10分）根据短文内容和所给中文提示，写出空白处各单词的正确形式。
Last week my brother and I took a trip to visit friends and go skiing.During my time as a（1）　 　 （士兵），I had flown over these huge mountains many times.However，until last week，I never visited them at ground level.
The first day we went skiing，we drove into the mountains and soon followed the（2）　 　（小溪） along the sides of mountains to the ski places.There we（3）　 　（停放） our car.I put on my skis and went ahead to the lift.
As I rode the lift even high up the mountain，I watched the people（4）　 　（在下面） move along the snow.At the top of the lift everything was （5）　 　（惊人的） .I（6）　 　（逗留） on the mountain top for half an hour，which was circled by more snow﹣covered mountains﹣﹣it seemed that I had moved into a postcard.I took a moment to reflect on the （7）　 　 （大自然的） beauty around me.It was （8）　 　（实在，的确） valuable，not strong，and easily broken!
Now，I'm back home thinking about the things which I experienced in person on that mountain top.I（9）　 　（意识到） how important the environment protecting is!If not，the same beauty will probably be（10）　 　（消失的，失踪的） some day.So it's necessary to take steps together to make our future much better.
六、语法填空
16．（10分）"The Twenty﹣Four Solar Terms" is known as the 5th great invention from ancient China.As the 18th solar term，Oct.23 marks the （1）　 　（begin） of the Frost's Descent also called "Shuangjiang" in Chinese.
The solar term Shuangjiang （2）　 　（mean） the time of year when frost starts to sweep across China.In autumn，as the weather gets cool and cold，the temperatures fall so fast （3）　 　little water drops in the air become icy in the end，bringing deadly cold winds as well.It is thought as autumn's last chapter and the start of the （4）　 　（follow） winter.
The Frost's Descent，with clear autumn skies and refreshing air，is an excellent time（5）　 　（go） hiking and catch the sights from high up in the mountains.Many Chinese believe that （6）　 　 is a good idea to go walking in the highlands and enjoy the beauty of nature on that day.
During this bright period，Chinese people also enjoy chrysanthemums， （7）　 　kind of autumn flowers，which come out in late autumn and are known as the "flower of long life".
Eating orange﹣colored persimmons is another traditional Chinese custom.The Chinese think these orange fruits not only keep out the cold，but also provide the human body（8）　 　 rich VC.In order to fight off different winter （9）　 　（ill），people usually prefer the helpful things. （10）　 　（actual），eating some persimmons in autumn is good for people of all ages，as ancient Chinese medical books recorded.
Shuangjiang，as the last solar term of autumn，is an end as well as a start for Chinese people to work for a happier and healthier life，surely.

11．（8分）If you wanted to get as far away from other people as you possibly could，Easter Island would be a good place to go.It's about 2，000 kilometers from its nearest neighbors，out in the southern Pacific Ocean.
Easter Island is a small triangle about 3，500 kilometers west of Republic of Chile.Easter Island is a special part of Chile.It was discovered by a Dutch pioneer in 1722，but it had been there for about 1，000 years before that.Scientists think that the first pioneers on Easter Island came from the Marguesas Islands，more than 3，000 kilometers away.Imagine making that journey in such a small boat!
______The moai are statues of men with huge heads and stem faces，lining many of the island's coasts.People believe the statues are symbols of ancestors.Easter Islanders put the statues up to allow the ancestors to continue to watch over their lands.The moai were made between AD 1100 and AD 1680.Wonderfully，Easter Islanders used only hand tools to make them!Some of these statues weigh more than 80 tons!People aren't sure how these statues were moved.It must have taken many people working together to move them.
In addition to the moai，Easter Island has other stone carvings，stone buildings，and wood carvings.This unusual culture developed its own written language，though most of it has been lost.Easter Island has had many tragedies，including war，hunger，disease，and environmental disasters.It can be difficult to be so far from the rest of the world.But Easter Islanders seem hardy and strong，like their statues.They are keeping their ancient culture while connecting more and more with the outside world.

【分析】文章介绍了复活节岛的相关信息。
【解答】（1）理解判断题。根据Easter Island is a small triangle about 3，500 kilometers west of Republic of Chile.Easter Island is a special part of Chile.（复活节岛是智利共和国以西约3500公里的一个小三角。复活节岛是智利的一个特殊部分。）可知B项符合文意。故选B。
（2）理解判断题。根据A The moai are statues of men with huge heads and stem faces，lining many of the island's coasts.People believe the statues are symbols of ancestors.（摩艾石像是长着巨大的头和茎脸的男人雕像，排列在岛上的许多海岸上。人们认为这些雕像是祖先的象征。）可推知此处介绍的是摩艾石像。所以B项"复活节岛以其巨大的摩艾石像而闻名。"符合语境。故选C。
（3）词义猜测题。根据后文including war，hunger，disease，and environmental disasters.（包括战争、饥饿、疾病和环境灾难。）可知此处意为复活节岛有很多不好的情况。故选B。
（4）文章来源题。根据If you wanted to get as far away from other people as you possibly could，Easter Island would be a good place to go.（如果你想尽可能远离其他人，复活节岛将是一个好去处。）及全文可知文章介绍了复活节岛的相关信息，结合选项，文章最可能来源于旅游杂志。故选C。
12．（8分）How cool would it be to have a flying robot？What's the first thing you would do with it？Maybe send it into war，or use it to watch your neighbors secretly？Well，this is not just a fantasy anymore.Drones are remote﹣controlled flying robots，and they are getting more popular every day.But is this a good thing for society？
The popularity of drones has increased in recent years as technology has improved and got cheaper.A civil drone with a high﹣quality camera and four helicopter propellers now sells online for just a few hundred US dollars.Drones are extremely useful for making videos because their cameras link directly to phones or computers.Nowadays，anyone can get professional﹣looking fly﹣by pictures from different angles.
But could this cause problems？Because drones are so affordable，it means that anyone can send a robot flying around the neighborhood.People might be surprised to find a camera flying outside their window.This should be a terrible worry for people who care about their privacy.
Many governments also spend a lot of money on drones，but for very different reasons.The United States uses military drones for spying.Its most powerful drones，however，are Predator drones，which can fly higher than 15，000 meters at over 300 kilometers per hour. And no，they don't just take pretty videos. A predator drone can hold 360 kilograms worth of bombs，enough to completely break down an enemy camp.The man controlling the drone sits safely away from the action，so it's impossible to know for sure who is getting killed.Common people might be in danger.
Drones are new﹣born inventions with a new technology.People are still discovering their possible uses，and maybe someday you'll come up with a new cool way to use your own remote﹣controlled robot.

（1）How does the writer introduce the topic in the first paragraph？ 　B　
A.By telling a story.
B.By asking questions.
C.By showing facts.
D.By giving an example.
（2）What are the drones you can buy online most likely to be？ 　B　
A.They are usually sold online at a very high price.
B.They can be used to secretly take pictures of people.
C.They are difficultly controlled if used without good training.
D.They can be used for both photography and military purposes.
（3）Why does the writer use the sentence "And no，they don't just take pretty videos."？ 　A　
A.To compare military drones with media drones.
B.To suggest what military drones will do in the future.
C.To give an example of what military drones cannot do.
D.To show the same fact between military drones and civil drones.
（4）What can be the best title of the passage？ 　C　
A.A Great Research Military Drones
B.A Popular Technology：Video Drones
C.A New Invention：Remote﹣controlled Drones
D.A Useful Product：Remote﹣controlled Flying Robots

【分析】文章介绍了无人机越来越受欢迎，也分析了它的的利弊。
【解答】（1）理解判断题。根据How cool would it be to have a flying robot？What's the first thing you would do with it？Maybe send it into war，or use it to watch your neighbors secretly？（如果有一个会飞的机器人该有多么酷？你会做的第一件事是什么？也许把它投入战争，或者用它秘密监视你的邻居？）可知作者用提出问题的方式来引入话题。故选B。
（2）理解判断题。根据Because drones are so affordable，it means that anyone can send a robot flying around the neighborhood.People might be surprised to find a camera flying outside their window.This should be a terrible worry for people who care about their privacy.（因为无人机价格低廉，这意味着任何人都可以让机器人在附近飞行。人们可能会惊讶地发现窗外有个摄像头在飞。对于那些关心自己隐私的人来说，这应该是一个可怕的担忧。）可推知B项符合文意。故选B。
（3）理解判断题。根据后文A predator drone can hold 360 kilograms worth of bombs，enough to completely break down an enemy camp.（一架捕食者无人机可以装载360公斤的炸弹，足以彻底摧毁敌人的营地。）可推知使用这句话是为了比较军用无人机和媒体无人机。故选A。
（4）最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了无人机越来越受欢迎，也分析了它的的利弊。所以C项最适合做文章标题。故选C。
13．（13分）
Although I was the class clown at school，there's an introverted side to my personality.That's because I have a rarely seen disease that makes it hard for my brain to deal with the information what I see.Words swim on the page for me.I wanted to learn how to read but couldn't.
In primary school，I didn't talk to any teachers or family about this.I was clever at hiding it.When I had to write anything down，I guessed，forming what I hoped were the right words.I became good at learning by heart.
When I started secondary school，a student in class made me stand on a chair and read.It was terrible as a result I developed a bad stutter.I continued to fall through the net.The only thing I loved was practical biology.I wanted to be a doctor.
Then I left school and joined the army.I decided to be a doctor and trained hard.But things were discovered when I did a course in prehospital emergency care.I passed all my practical exams，preparing for them by watching others.The problem was the written exam.I was so hopeless but had to tell the examining doctor that I couldn't read.He asked me to get back into education.I was 34.
I made up my mind to attend the Open University （OU） to do a medical degree.It was back to basics on the course.I knew the letters and some words，but my vocabulary was small.I paid for a tutor，who worked with me every week，teaching me to understand words through pictures.
It took me nine years to get that degree.Now，aged 47，I'm an ambassador for the OU，winning an award for receiving education so late in life.I teach pre﹣hospital emergency care to medical school students.I also teach children and adults with learning difficulties because I want to give others the chances I had.
I still struggle to read a menu if I'm not wearing my special glasses，but luckily there's always someone around to lend me a hand.I look back and wonder how many other people have struggled with education and where they are now.My story suggests that no one should be discounted，ever.

A.He found a way to hide it.
B.He tried his best to forget it.
C.He managed to get over it.

（2）What happened to the writer when he was in the army？ 　D　
A.He was encouraged to be a doctor.
B.He was advised to go back to university.
C.His speech disorder became worse.
D.He failed his exams and was asked to leave.
（3）Which can be the right order of the statements？ 　A　
a.He learned to read basic words.
b.He completed his medical degree.
c.He taught medical school students.
d.He wanted to get back to education.
A.d﹣a﹣b﹣c
B.d﹣b﹣a﹣c
C.a﹣d﹣c﹣b
D.a﹣c﹣d﹣b
（4）What's the main idea of the passage？ 　A　
A.College education can lead a person to success.
B.A strong will is the secret to achieving dreams.
C.Everyone should care about personal education.
D.Adults with learning difficulties need special care.
（5）What difficulties did the author have in his life？How did he solve them？（about 40 words） 　He can't read.He paid for a tutor to help him read，and he studied hard with strong will.　

【分析】作者介绍了自己的阅读障碍问题，以及这个问题导致他的梦想破碎，最后如何又通过努力获得成功的故事。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据原文I was clever at hiding it.（我很聪明地把它藏了起来。）可知作者隐藏起来了。故选A。
（2）细节理解题。根据原文The problem was the written exam.I was so hopeless but had to tell the examining doctor that I couldn't read.He asked me to get back into education.（问题出在笔试上。我非常绝望，但不得不告诉检查医生我不识字。他让我重新接受教育。）可知作者考试失败了被要求离开。故选D。
（3）顺序排列题。根据原文 I made up my mind to attend the Open University （OU） to do a medical degree.（我下定决心上开放大学（OU）攻读医学学位。）可知d排第一；I knew the letters and some words，but my vocabulary was small.（我认识这些字母和一些单词，但我的词汇量很小。）a排第二。因此排除BCD三个选项。故选A。
（4）细节推理题。根据原文I look back and wonder how many other people have struggled with education and where they are now.My story suggests that no one should be discounted，ever.（我回顾过去，想知道还有多少人在教育上挣扎过，他们现在在哪里。我的故事告诉我们，任何人都不应该被轻视。）可知作者通过自己的经历告诉读者坚强的意志是实现梦想的秘诀。故选A。
（5）开放型题，合理即可。根据原文Words swim on the page for me.I wanted to learn how to read but couldn't.（文字在我的书页上游移不定。我想学习如何阅读，但不会。）可知作者的问题是不会阅读；I paid for a tutor，who worked with me every week，teaching me to understand words through pictures.（我花钱请了一个家庭教师，他每周都陪着我，教我通过图片理解单词。）以及It took me nine years to get that degree.（我花了九年时间才拿到那个学位。）可知作者通过请老师以及考自己的刻苦勤奋来解决了这类问题。故填：He can't read.He paid for a tutor to help him read，and he studied hard with strong will。
