一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共37.5分）

You haven't truly visited a city until you've experienced its nightlife. Watching a big city like London gradually turn dark and darker into the night is a beautiful journey of time and light. So how about taking a historical evening walk and touching some of the nicest areas in central London? Let's get started.
6: 30 pm
The walk starts on the Millennium Bridge. On the bridge, watch the scenic city across the River Thames with the skyscrapers gradually lighting up against the darkening skies.
The Millennium Bridge has been featured in many London-based films, including Harry Potter, and the film Guardians of the Galaxy.
7: 30 pm
It's getting dark. A fifteen-minute walk northwest from St Paul's Cathedral takes you to the historic Borough Market. During the evenings, you find a lot of restaurants around the market. This is an excellent time to get your dinner.
9: 00 pm
The next stop is London Bridge. This is about 6 minutes' walk from the Borough Market. As you join other onlookers and mentally go through the nursery school rhyme of "London Bridge is Falling Down", you get lost again in history. Why does the song say London Bridge is falling and who is the fair lady?
During the London city fire of 1897, London Bridge served an important role in fire control. It was one of the major structures that prevented the fire from crossing over to the other side of London.
11: 30 pm
London never sleeps; it's a few minutes to midnight and everywhere is still filled with people moving around. About four minutes away from the Golden Jubilee Bridges is Trafalgar Square, our next stop.
12: 00 am
It's been a beautiful evening, hasn't it?

Alibaba starts taking the lead in China，simply enough，by connecting big Chinese manufacturers （制造商） with big buyers across the world.Its business-to-business site，Alibaba.com allows business to buy almost everything.Alibaba's advantage isn't hard to identify：size.Alibaba is just big，even by Chinese standards.Its marketplaces attract 231 million active buyers，8 million sellers，11.3 billion orders a year-and Alibaba is just the middleman.It encourages people to use its markets-not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale.
If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life，take my experience.I moved to Beijing almost a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded，polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics，bathroom furnishings，and anything else my wife wanted. "You're looking for what exactly？Why not try it？" my Chinese teacher asked me one day.With that，my wonderful new relationship with.
Alibaba began.Alibaba's original business-to-business model now is second to consumer buying.Chinese retail （零售） buying makes up 80% of Alibaba's profit，and leading that group is Taobao，with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things you'll ever find.TMall.com is Alibaba's other big site，where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices.What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U.S.is how China has gone beyond traditional shopping-big-box retailers especially-in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites.In smaller towns than Beijing，where big retailers have not yet traveled，shopping online is shopping，and shopping is Taobao.
I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how wide the marketplace is.Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping.I'm not even a big buyer，because I need friends to help me search the Chinese-language site.When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher's iPad，which helps me buy goods，I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.
12. Alibaba's advantage mainly lies in ______ .
A. its low price
B. its big size
C. its not charging small sellers
D. its business-to-business service
13. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the passage？ ______
A. Alibaba will continue to develop.
B. Alibaba stands out as the best online site.
C. Alibaba is of middle size among all the online sites.
D. Alibaba acts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers.
14. What can be inferred from the passage？ ______
A. TMall.com provides more profit than Taobao.
B. The author's Chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover.
C. Taobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites.
D. Alibaba's business-to-business service earns more than retail now.
15. What is the passage mainly about？ ______
A. Shopping online is Taobao.
B. How the author purchases online in China.
C. Alibaba greatly influences people's daily purchase in China.
D. The influence of shopping online goes beyond traditional shopping.

36.【答案】【小题1】which
【小题2】settlers
【小题3】was
【小题4】impressive
【小题5】of
【小题6】located
【小题7】especially
【小题8】growing
【小题9】a
【小题10】yourself
【解析】（1）考查非限制性定语从句。句意：阿根廷，意为"白银之地"，是世界第八大国家，南美洲第二大国家。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是Argentina，指代事物，用关系代词which引导从句，作主语。故填which。
（2）考查可数名词的复数。句意：早期的欧洲移民认为这个国家盛产贵重的金属。settler是可数名词，根据句意应用其复数形式，零冠词可数名词复数表泛指。故填settlers。
（3）考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：这个国家曾经是世界上一些最大恐龙的家园！根据once可知，空处描述过去发生的事情，空处应用一般过去时。主语为名词单数，所以谓语用第三人称单数形式，故填was。
（4）考查形容词。句意：阿根廷面积超过2780400平方公里，拥有令人印象深刻的山脉、河流、瀑布和冰川。根据句意可知，空处应用impress的形容词形式修饰其后面的名词。故填impressive。
（5）考查介词。句意：伊瓜苏瀑布由大约275个瀑布组成。be made up of..."由……组成"为固定短语。故填of。
（6）考查过去分词。句意：这个自然奇观位于阿根廷和巴西之间，每年吸引100多万游客。该句的谓语是draws，空处应用非谓语动词，locate和前文名词之间是被动关系，故用其过去分词作后置定语，相当于非限制性定语从句。故填located。
（7）考查副词。句意：该国的佩里托莫雷诺冰川以其规模和美丽而特别著名。副词修饰形容词famous。故填especially。
（8）考查现在分词。句意：这是一个不断增长的冰川。动词grow和后文名词之间是主动关系，故用其现在分词作定语修饰名词glacier。故填growing。
（9）考查冠词。句意：因此，建筑物大小的冰山经常断裂并坠入湖中。as a result"结果"为固定短语。故填a。
（10）考查反身代词。句意：在这个美丽的国家有这么多值得探索的地方，为什么不亲自去看看呢？根据句意及句子结构可知，祈使句省略了主语you的单数形式，空处应用you的反身代词的单数形式，作介词for的宾语。故填yourself。
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了阿根廷的自然地貌。
做本题的关键是在理解短文的基础上，灵活运用所学的基础知识。本类型的题目常考到的知识点有：固定的短语，词类的转换，名词的复数形式，副词以及祈使句的用法等。因此，这就需要在平时的学习中，牢固掌握各语言点及一些语法知识。

You haven't truly visited a city until you've experienced its nightlife. Watching a big city like London gradually turn dark and darker into the night is a beautiful journey of time and light. So how about taking a historical evening walk and touching some of the nicest areas in central London? Let's get started.
6: 30 pm
The walk starts on the Millennium Bridge. On the bridge, watch the scenic city across the River Thames with the skyscrapers gradually lighting up against the darkening skies.
The Millennium Bridge has been featured in many London-based films, including Harry Potter, and the film Guardians of the Galaxy.

The next stop is London Bridge. This is about 6 minutes' walk from the Borough Market. As you join other onlookers and mentally go through the nursery school rhyme of "London Bridge is Falling Down", you get lost again in history. Why does the song say London Bridge is falling and who is the fair lady?
During the London city fire of 1897, London Bridge served an important role in fire control. It was one of the major structures that prevented the fire from crossing over to the other side of London.
11: 30 pm
London never sleeps; it's a few minutes to midnight and everywhere is still filled with people moving around. About four minutes away from the Golden Jubilee Bridges is Trafalgar Square, our next stop.

Alibaba starts taking the lead in China，simply enough，by connecting big Chinese manufacturers （制造商） with big buyers across the world.Its business-to-business site，Alibaba.com allows business to buy almost everything.Alibaba's advantage isn't hard to identify：size.Alibaba is just big，even by Chinese standards.Its marketplaces attract 231 million active buyers，8 million sellers，11.3 billion orders a year-and Alibaba is just the middleman.It encourages people to use its markets-not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale.
If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life，take my experience.I moved to Beijing almost a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded，polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics，bathroom furnishings，and anything else my wife wanted. "You're looking for what exactly？Why not try it？" my Chinese teacher asked me one day.With that，my wonderful new relationship with.
Alibaba began.Alibaba's original business-to-business model now is second to consumer buying.Chinese retail （零售） buying makes up 80% of Alibaba's profit，and leading that group is Taobao，with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things you'll ever find.TMall.com is Alibaba's other big site，where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices.What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U.S.is how China has gone beyond traditional shopping-big-box retailers especially-in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites.In smaller towns than Beijing，where big retailers have not yet traveled，shopping online is shopping，and shopping is Taobao.
I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how wide the marketplace is.Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping.I'm not even a big buyer，because I need friends to help me search the Chinese-language site.When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher's iPad，which helps me buy goods，I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.
12. Alibaba's advantage mainly lies in ______ .
A. its low price
B. its big size
C. its not charging small sellers
D. its business-to-business service
13. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the passage？ ______
A. Alibaba will continue to develop.
B. Alibaba stands out as the best online site.
C. Alibaba is of middle size among all the online sites.
D. Alibaba acts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers.
14. What can be inferred from the passage？ ______
A. TMall.com provides more profit than Taobao.
B. The author's Chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover.
C. Taobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites.
D. Alibaba's business-to-business service earns more than retail now.
15. What is the passage mainly about？ ______
A. Shopping online is Taobao.
B. How the author purchases online in China.
C. Alibaba greatly influences people's daily purchase in China.
D. The influence of shopping online goes beyond traditional shopping.

36.【答案】【小题1】which
【小题2】settlers
【小题3】was
【小题4】impressive
【小题5】of
【小题6】located
【小题7】especially
【小题8】growing
【小题9】a
【小题10】yourself
【解析】（1）考查非限制性定语从句。句意：阿根廷，意为"白银之地"，是世界第八大国家，南美洲第二大国家。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是Argentina，指代事物，用关系代词which引导从句，作主语。故填which。
（2）考查可数名词的复数。句意：早期的欧洲移民认为这个国家盛产贵重的金属。settler是可数名词，根据句意应用其复数形式，零冠词可数名词复数表泛指。故填settlers。
（3）考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：这个国家曾经是世界上一些最大恐龙的家园！根据once可知，空处描述过去发生的事情，空处应用一般过去时。主语为名词单数，所以谓语用第三人称单数形式，故填was。
（4）考查形容词。句意：阿根廷面积超过2780400平方公里，拥有令人印象深刻的山脉、河流、瀑布和冰川。根据句意可知，空处应用impress的形容词形式修饰其后面的名词。故填impressive。
（5）考查介词。句意：伊瓜苏瀑布由大约275个瀑布组成。be made up of..."由……组成"为固定短语。故填of。
（6）考查过去分词。句意：这个自然奇观位于阿根廷和巴西之间，每年吸引100多万游客。该句的谓语是draws，空处应用非谓语动词，locate和前文名词之间是被动关系，故用其过去分词作后置定语，相当于非限制性定语从句。故填located。
（7）考查副词。句意：该国的佩里托莫雷诺冰川以其规模和美丽而特别著名。副词修饰形容词famous。故填especially。
（8）考查现在分词。句意：这是一个不断增长的冰川。动词grow和后文名词之间是主动关系，故用其现在分词作定语修饰名词glacier。故填growing。
（9）考查冠词。句意：因此，建筑物大小的冰山经常断裂并坠入湖中。as a result"结果"为固定短语。故填a。
（10）考查反身代词。句意：在这个美丽的国家有这么多值得探索的地方，为什么不亲自去看看呢？根据句意及句子结构可知，祈使句省略了主语you的单数形式，空处应用you的反身代词的单数形式，作介词for的宾语。故填yourself。
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了阿根廷的自然地貌。
做本题的关键是在理解短文的基础上，灵活运用所学的基础知识。本类型的题目常考到的知识点有：固定的短语，词类的转换，名词的复数形式，副词以及祈使句的用法等。因此，这就需要在平时的学习中，牢固掌握各语言点及一些语法知识。
