A
Four Famous Castles in Britain    The country is abundant of castles, some ruined, and others still surviving today. They are a reminder of their either glorious or violent past. Read on for the one that interests you most.
Bodiam Castle, East Sussex
    Built primarily for defence in the 14th century, the castle looks perfectly protected from the outside. You might think you could expect much of the same inside it, but sadly not. The war reduced the inside to ruins. The fairytale appearance of the castle standing within its broad moat(护城河) makes an indescribably spectacular picture.
Hever Castle, Kent
    As a queen's childhood home, it is the perfect picture-book castle. Its thick creeper- covered walls are surrounded by double channels. With large collections including portraits, paintings, furniture and treasures, it attracts a lot of tourists here. Among its collections are two private books signed by the queen herself, which are historically valuable.
Windsor Castle, Berkshire
    If you want to have a better understanding of more than 900 years' royal(王室的) life, then there really is no better place to visit than this splendid castle. It is the largest and oldest castle that is still occupied now in the world. In 1992, a fire swept through the castle, destroying 115 rooms. The repairing was completed five years later.
Tintagel Castle, Cornwall
    Few places can compete with Tintagel Castle in romance and mystery. The ruins that you see today date from the 13th century, which, however, didn't stop it to become a popular at- traction. Due to the legend of King Arthur, for centuries the castle has fired writers' and artists' imaginations on how the heroic king's life began here.

     At a large forest park in eastern Beijing, 11 birds on the state-level protection list were recently released, which owed to Beijing's big step in wildlife protection.
     These birds had recovered after the Beijing Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center rescued and took care of them. "We will speed up our efforts to push the establishment of district-level wildlife rescue centers to jointly guard the health of wildlife," said Du Lianhai, director of the center.
     The center was set up in 2001 and built a wildlife rescue base in the capital's Shunyi District in 2005. Staff at the base have rescued and rehabilitated over 30,000 wild animals in total.
     Wildlife protection has been strengthened in Beijing in recent years. On June 1, the city's newly adopted regulation (法规) on wildlife protection took effect, introducing stricter and more concrete measures to protect the environment and wildlife.
     For example, the regulation states clearly that Beijing bans hunting throughout the year, compared with the previous regulation which bans hunting during the periods of March to May and September to November each year. The new regulation also gives severer punishment for poachers.
     After years of monitoring, data with the Beijing Gardening and Greening Bureau recently showed ecological reconstruction progress. The species and quantity of  wild animals in Beijing are continuously increasing, with the number of terrestrial spinal wild animals （陆地脊椎野生动物）growing from 461 species in 1994 to more than 500. The habitat of the endangered bird has expanded from Fangshan District to the whole city, according to the bureau.
     "The enforcement of the new regulation marked a new phase in Beijing's wildlife protection work," said Dai Mingchao, deputy director of the Beijing Gardening and Greening Bureau.
     "We will step up the publicity of the regulation and raise citizens' awareness of wildlife protection," Dai said. "In our integrated protection of mountains, rivers, forests, farmlands, lakes and grasslands, we take into full consideration the requirements of food-chain construction, ecological corridor construction, and wildlife and their habitat protection."
8. What has the wildlife rescue base done?
A. It has sped up its efforts to recover the birds.
B. It has built a large forest park in eastern Beijing.
C. It has saved lots of wild animals in need of help.
D. It has established district-level wildlife rescue centers.
9. What is the effect of the new regulation?
A. It bans hunting in Beijing all the year round.
B. It sets up nationwide wildlife rescue centers.
C. It raises people's awareness of wildlife protection.
D. It monitors the wildlife protection for a long time.
10. Which of the following statements did Mr. Dai agree with? 
A. Beijing will enter a new stage after taking the regulation.
B. Beijing citizens need to know more of the new regulation.
C. Food-chain construction needs the whole society's attention.
D. The natural environmental conditions are not considered yet.
11. What could be the best tile of the passage?
A. Wildlife and Their Habitat Protection in Beijing
B. Beijing's Newly Adopted Regulation on Wildlife Protection
C. Beijing's Big Progress in Wildlife Protection with New Regulation
D. The Establishment of Beijing Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center
D
One of the most deeply-rooted myths in parenting is the so-called Mozart effect，which says that listening to music by the Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart can increase a child's intelligence.The idea has been promoted by advocates for arts education and by retailers（零售商） who sell special recordings of Mozart's works for infants（婴儿） and toddlers（学步的儿童）.Some pregnant women have even gone so far as to play Mozart recordings on headphones pressed against their bellies.
So，if you have kids or you're expecting to have them，how seriously should you take the Mozart effect？Will the child who has no access to Mozart s music when born live a life of mediocrity（平庸）？Relax.There is no scientific evidence that listening to Mozart improves children's cognitive abilities.
The whole idea came from a small study done in 1993，which found that college students who listened to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major （K 448）showed slight improvement in a test of spatial reasoning（空间推理） .This finding was later turned into something unrealistic by the musician and entrepreneur（企业家） Don Campbell，who in 1997 published the best seller The Mozart Effect：Tapping the Power of Music to Heal the Body，Strengthen the Mind，and Unlock the Creative Spirit.Campbell's claims about the amazing power of Mozart s music was repeated endlessly in the media and sped up the enthusiasm for Mozart-based enrichment activities.
Since then，scientists have examined the claim that Mozart boosts intelligence and found no evidence for it.The original experiment with college students was reviewed in 1999，and the increase in the students' spatial skills was found to be negligible.In 2007 the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research commissioned a team of experts to examine the scientific literature regarding Mozart and child development，and they found no reason to believe that it boosted intelligence.
12. Who might be in favor of Mozart effect？ ______
A. People who are opposed to arts education.
B. Musicians who admire Mozart very much.
C. Businessmen who sell toys and infant food.
D. Pregnant women who want to make their children cleverer.
13. What sped up people's behavior of listening to Mozart's music？ ______
A. People have benefited a lot from listening to Mozart s music.
B. Don Campbell successfully sold Mozart s music recordings.
C. The media repeatedly stressed the the amazing power of Mozart s music.
D. A small study showed Mozart's music could make students much smarter.
14. What does the underlined word "negligible" in the last paragraph mean？ ______
A. obvious. B. little. C. strong. D. sudden.
15. What's the purpose of the passage？ ______
A. To introduce the Mozart effect.
B. To correct a misunderstanding in parenting.
C. To stress the importance of listening to music.
D. To show parents how to make children smarter.

Christmas was approaching，and I had no idea what to get for my wife.We had just moved to Italy.Donna was away attending an important meeting，so I had the rest of the week to figure out what to get her as a Christmas gift before she got back.

Donna would be back in a few days and it would ruin Christmas for both of us if Princess was not back by then，safe and sound.Donna had already excitedly told me over the phone that she had found several fun toys and delicious snacks for Princess as Christmas gifts.She couldn't wait to get back and wrap them up.
I was in big trouble.I had to find Princess as soon as possible.So，I made up a poster of the cat that I personally drew because I couldn't find a photo of her anywhere.I was sure my wife had hundreds on her phone，but I didn't dare ask her for one.Perhaps because my poster were not so clear，soon people in the area came to my house with several homeless cats.Though Princess wasn't among them，I let them stay in our yard.I figured Donna would understand.

（2）细节理解题。根据第二段She took a photo of the note and posted it to a Facebook group for parents at the school.（她拍下了这张纸条的照片，并将其发布到该校家长的Facebook群组。）可知，这三名高中生是通过网络了解到 Brody的故事的。A.From their teachers.从他们的老师；B.From the Internet.从互联网；C.From the newspaper.从报纸上；D.From their classmates.从他们的同学。故选B。

8~11.【答案】C、A、B、C
【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了北京市制定出台动物保护新规并对其大力宣传，提高市民动物保护意识的努力。
1. 根据第三段中的Staff at the base have rescued and rehabilitated over 30,000 wild animals in total.（该基地的工作人员总共解救和恢复了3万多只野生动物。）可知，野生动物救援基地的工作人员从危险的处境中拯救了野生动物。故选C。

2. 
根据第五段内容（例如，该规定明确规定，北京全年禁止狩猎，而之前的规定是在每年的3月至5月和9月至11月禁止狩猎。新规定还对偷猎者进行了更严厉的惩罚。）可知，新规禁止明确规定北京全年禁止狩猎，狩猎者受到严惩，由此可知，新规的影响是禁止北京全年狩猎。故选A。
3. 
根据尾段中的"We will step up the publicity of the regulation and raise citizens' awareness of wildlife protection," Dai said. ( 戴说：“我们将加强法规的宣传，提高公民保护野生动物的意识。”）可知，进一步加大新规的宣传力度，说明北京市民对新规还不熟悉，由此可知，Mr. Du赞成“北京市民需要对新规多加了解”这一观点。故选B。
4. 
根据第一段中的At a large forest park in eastern Beijing, 11 birds on the state -level protection list were recently released, which owed to Beijing's big step in wildlife protection.（在北京东部的一个大型森林公园，最近公布了11种国家级保护名单上的鸟类，这归功于北京在野生动物保护方面迈出的一大步。）可知，在北京加大野生动物保护力度的新规生效以来，取得了一定的成效，结合第四段中的On June 1, the city's newly adopted regulation (法规) on wildlife protection took effect, introducing stricter and more concrete measures to protect the environment and wildlife.（6月1日，我市新通过的野生动物保护条例生效，为保护环境和野生动物引入了更严格、更具体的措施。）和倒数第二段中的"The enforcement of the new regulation marked a new phase in Beijing's wildlife protection work," said Dai Mingchao（戴明超说:“新条例的实施标志着北京野生动物保护工作进入了一个新阶段。”）以及全文对野生动物保护情况的介绍可知，北京制定新规加大保护野生动物保护的力度，所以该文的题目是“北京野生动物保护新规取得重大进展”既体现了文章的主题，也概括了文章的主要内容。故选C。


12~15.【答案】D、C、B、B
【解析】（1）推理判断题。根据文章第一段One of the most deeply-rooted myths in parenting is the so-called Mozart effect，which says that listening to music by the Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart can increase a child's intelligence.The idea has been promoted by advocates for arts education and by retailers（零售商） who sell special recordings of Mozart's works for infants（婴儿） and toddlers（学步的儿童）.Some pregnant women have even gone so far as to play Mozart recordings on headphones pressed against their bellies.（在育儿方面，最根深蒂固的神话之一是所谓的莫扎特效应，即听奥地利作曲家沃尔夫冈•阿玛迪斯•莫扎特的音乐可以提高孩子的智力。这一想法得到了艺术教育倡导者和为婴幼儿出售莫扎特作品特别录音的零售商的推广。一些孕妇甚至把耳机贴在肚子上播放莫扎特的录音。）可知，那些支持艺术教育的人，售卖莫扎特音乐的零售商还有孕妇都可能认可莫扎特效应。故选D。
（2）细节理解题。根据文章第三段的最后一句话Campbell's claims about the amazing power of Mozart s music was repeated endlessly in the media and sped up the enthusiasm for Mozart-based enrichment activities. （坎贝尔关于莫扎特音乐的惊人力量的主张在媒体上不断被重复，从而加速了以莫扎特为基础的丰富活动的热情。）可知，媒体不断地重复坎贝尔关于莫扎特音乐神奇力量的论断加速了人们对听莫扎特音乐行为的痴迷。故选C。
（3）词义猜测题。根据文章的最后一段Since then，scientists have examined the claim that Mozart boosts intelligence and found no evidence for it. （从那以后，科学家们对莫扎特能提高智力的说法进行了研究，但没有发现任何证据。）可知，莫扎特音乐可以得知莫扎特音乐可以提升智力并没有什么科学证据。因此negligible这个单词的意思是"微不足道的"。A.obvious.明显的；B.little.微不足道的；C.strong.强壮的；D.sudden.突然的。故选B。
（4）目的意图题。纵观全文，文章主要介绍了研究发现听莫扎特的音乐对孩子智力的提升没多大影响。所以推断文章主要是想纠正一个育儿方面的误区。A.To introduce the Mozart effect.介绍莫扎特效应；B.To correct a misunderstanding in parenting.纠正育儿中的一个误区；C.To stress the importance of listening to music.强调听音乐的重要性；D.To show parents how to make children smarter.向父母展示如何让孩子变得更聪明。故选B。
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究发现听莫扎特的音乐对孩子智力的提升没多大影响。
一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。
　　阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。
二、看题干，带着问题读文章。
　　首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。
　　在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。
四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。
　　猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。
   我们在做完形填空时，首先需要快速的浏览全文，把握文章的主旨大意；其次要学会带着问题到文中相应的地方，通过细节阅读来寻找或概括答案；最后理清作者的写作思路也非常重要；做此类题时，要多注意一些形容词或动词的搭配，在平时多积累一些固定搭配。

16~20.【答案】E、G、D、B、F
【解析】（1）推理判断题。根据后文Houses，apartments，cars and appliances are all smaller than what you are accustomed to，so you have to get used to smaller things.（房子、公寓、汽车和电器都比你习惯的小，所以你必须习惯更小的东西。）可知，此处是讲英国的空间很小，房子、汽车等也都很小，和前文The United States is not only a huge country but also has big cars，houses and spaces.（美国不仅是一个幅员辽阔的国家，而且拥有大的汽车、大的房子和大的空间。）构成转折关系，对应转折词however。所以选项E.However，the UK does not have the luxury of space."然而，英国没有空间上的奢侈。"切合文意。故选E。
 （2）细节理解题。根据前文Accept jokes.（接受玩笑。）可知，此处是讲英国文化中的玩笑和幽默，所以选项G.One of the most confusing aspects of British culture is humor."英国文化中最令人困惑的方面之一就是幽默。"切合文意。故选G。
（3）细节理解题。根据前文The British drive on the left side of the road.（英国人靠路的左边开车。）可知，此处是讲英国交通规则的特殊之处包括靠路的左边开车，而不注意遵守这一交通规则则可能会带来严重后果，所以选项D.Be sure that you do so，or the result could be terrible."一定要这样做，否则结果可能会很糟糕。"中的so代指靠路的左边开车，切合文意。故选D。
（4）推理判断题。根据后文The British use different words and pronounce words differently.Look around on the Internet or buy books about words and expressions used in Britain. （英国人使用不同的单词，发音也不同。在网上找找或者买一些关于英国使用的单词和表达的书。）可知，此处是讲要适应英国的语言，所以选项B.Get used to the language."习惯这种语言。"切合文意。故选B。
（5）推理判断题。根据前文London is an excellent city and the most popular in the UK（伦敦是一个优秀的城市，也是英国最受欢迎的城市）和后文And the green countryside is a defining feature of the UK，which is something that should be explored.（绿色的乡村是英国的标志性特征，这是值得探索的。）可知，此处是讲除了伦敦之外英国还有其它很多优秀的城市。所以选项F.But there are many other cities filled with culture and wonder."但还有许多其他城市充满了文化和奇迹。"和前文构成转折关系，对应转折词but，切合文意。故选F。
 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何适应英格兰、苏格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰的不同文化。
七选五阅读是完成性阅读，和完形填空很类似，不同的是一个选词，一个选句子。解题时，要注意上下文语境，充分考虑信息词（选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词），选出最符合语境的句子。

36.【答案】【小题1】innocent

【小题4】inspected
【小题5】recognition
【小题6】praised
【小题7】whose
【小题8】on/upon
【小题9】and
【小题10】are referred
【解析】（1）考查形容词。句意：自2月以来，美国公众对大熊猫"丫丫"的关注已经发展成为世界各地中国人的一场"运动"，以检查我们可爱无辜的大熊猫是如何在海外动物园生存的。空处在句中和形容词cute并列作定语修饰名词pandas，应填形容词innocent，意为"无辜的"。故填innocent。
（2）考查副词。句意：世界各地热情的中国网民分别参观了附近的动物园，并在中国社交媒体平台上发布了展示熊猫生活状况的视频。空处修饰动词visited，应该用副词作状语。故填respectively。
（3）考查现在分词。句意：在一段视频中，一只熊猫在法国博瓦尔动物园的院子里吃竹子，另一只熊猫睡在草地上，第三只正在爬树。分析句子可知，本句中谓语动词是was showed，空处应用非谓语动词，逻辑主语a panda与动词eat之间为主动关系，故用现在分词eating，作状语。故填eating。
（4）考查过去分词。句意：在所有"突击检查"的海外动物园中，莫斯科动物园和韩国Everland度假村的熊猫世界获得了中国网民的认可。空处在句中作后置定语修饰名词zoos，zoos与动词inspect"检查"之间为被动关系，应用过去分词形式。故填inspected。
（5）考查不可数名词。句意：在所有"突击检查"的海外动物园中，莫斯科动物园和韩国Everland度假村的熊猫世界获得了中国网民的认可。空前Chinese netizens' 为名词所有格，因此设空处应填名词recognition，意为"承认；认可"，是不可数名词，故填recognition。
（6）考查动词时态。句意：它们脱颖而出，中国网民称赞它们为照顾两只可爱的熊猫所做的努力，这两只熊猫名叫丁丁和如意。空处在从句中作谓语，根据主句中谓语动词stood out可知，此处应用一般过去式，故填praised。
（7）考查定语从句。句意：它们脱颖而出，中国网民称赞它们为照顾两只可爱的熊猫所做的努力，这两只熊猫名叫丁丁和如意。分析结构可知，逗号后是非限制性定语从句，先行词pandas和空后名词names之间存在所属关系，应用关系代词whose引导该从句。故填whose。
（8）考查介词。句意："它们是真正的功夫熊猫。"中国人在丁丁和如意的视频上评论道。comment on/upon"对……进行评论"，固定搭配，故填on/upon。
（9）考查连词。句意：这些精力充沛、可爱的大熊猫的生活与孟菲斯动物园的丫丫形成了鲜明的对比。根据句意可知，energetic和lovely是并列的形容词，应用连词and连接，故填and。
（10）考查时态、语态及主谓一致。句意：我们希望丫丫的问题能引起公众对大熊猫生活条件的关注，这些动物被称为"活化石"。分析句子可知，此处animals是先行词，that引导定语从句，指"这些被称为活化石的动物"，是一般性事实，从句中应用一般现在时；关系代词that指代animals，与动词短语refer to之间为被动关系，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，根据主谓一致的原则be动词用are，故填are referred。
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在看到大熊猫丫丫糟糕的状态后，海外的中国人纷纷拍摄大熊猫在各国的生活状况的视频，以此呼吁人们重视大熊猫的生活状况。
语法填空考查学生英语综合知识的运用，做题时要首先明确短文大意，从词语搭配，固定句型，语法，时态等方面综合考虑，结合上下文语境找出正确答案。

（1）品读原文，确定文章线索
 每篇文章都有各自独特的写作思路，通过精读文章，找到该篇文章的写作线索。如是以时间为线索还是以空间为线索等这样有利于考生"顺藤摸瓜（结尾）"。
 （2）仔细审题，明确续写要求
 一般短文后面的"注意"都有对此次短文续写的具体要求，如词数限制使用几处标有下划线的关键词语。续写段落的首句提示，这样考生可以做到"心中有数"。
 （3）回扣原文，揣摩续写思路
 根据文章后面的要求，再次快速阅读短文，抓住文章的思路结合段首的提示语最终确定续写段落的思路。同时结合文章画线词语提示，确定续写段落的内容。
 （4）拟写草稿，修改错词病句
 在确定了思路和内容之后，最关键的就是结合提示语或者文中画线的关键词拟写草稿。拟写时，注意句子结构的多样性，语言的丰富性，并通过句与句之间连接词的正确使用，使上下文连贯。
