二、阅读理解
New Zealand is one of the most famous tourism destinations in the world. Travelers traveling to New Zealand need to consider the following things:
Bookings
Since most of the activities are done in a group like arranging hotels and meals, it is important that people travel as a group. They can enjoy special offers and discounts from the travel agencies, which will save them a lot of money. But individual travelers can’t enjoy those things. Travelers should also select their dates of starting and book their travels ahead of time.
Seasons
Travelers should also find out the season that New Zealand is now experiencing. This will help them carry the right clothing for the given season during their travels. Travelers traveling during summer should carry light clothes and their swimming suits if they are to enjoy the sunny beaches in New Zealand. But those traveling in winter should carry heavy clothing including hats and boots.
The rental (租赁)
Travel agencies have rental houses, bikes and motorcycles for tourists wishing to enjoy these services. For travelers wishing to get car rental, they must have driving licenses and must be allowed by the New Zealand government.
The culture
People traveling to the country are also encouraged to learn the culture of the people of New Zealand. This will enable them to be freely accepted into the country by the locals since they will be doing many things that they will consider acceptable. Learning the local language and the culture will help the tourist enjoy his New Zealand visit.

A new study warns that about thirty percent of the world’s people may not have enough water by the year 2025. A private American organization called Population Action International did the new study. It says more than 335 million people lack enough water now. The people live in 28 countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East.
PAI researcher Robert Engelman says by the year 2025, about 3000 million people may lack water. At least 18 more countries are expected to have severe (严重的) water problems. The demand for water keeps increasing. Yet the amount of water on Earth stays the same.
Mr. Engelman says the population in countries that lack water is growing faster than in other parts of the world. He says population growth in these countries will continue to increase.
The report says lack of water in the future may result in several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water often means drinking waters not safe. Mr. Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases, such as cholera (霍乱), which are carried in water. Lack of water may also result in more international conflict. Countries may have to compete for water in the future. Some countries now import sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries. This is true of Egypt, the Netherlands, Cambodia, Syria, Sudan, and Iraq. And the report says lack of water would affect the ability of developing to improve their economies. This is because new industries often need a large amount of water when they are beginning. The Population Action International study gives several solutions to the water problem. One way, it says, is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose. Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water. A third way is to use less water for agriculture.
25．According to the author’s opinion, the first serious problem caused by lack of water is ________.
A．health problem B．war
C．economy D．industry
26．Robert EngeIman may be ________.
A．An Englishman B．An American C．A Japanese D．An Australian
27．________ may have severe water problem among the following countries.
A．Egypt B．America C．Japan D．Russia
28．Which of the following is not the way to solve the water problem?
A．To control population growth.
B．To teach people not to waste water.
C．To find ways to use water for only one purpose.
D．To use less water of agriculture.
29．Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
A．How to get more water in the future.
B．Problems caused by water.
C．World water shortage.
D．A new study on water.

In September, a tragedy happened on the west coast of Tasmania, Australia. As many as 470 pilot whales became stranded (搁浅的) in shallow water there and later died. This might have been Australia’s largest stranding event on record, the BBC reported.
But mass whale stranding is not uncommon. For centuries, it has happened all over the world and has puzzled scientists. Scientists say the cause is often unknown. But they have offered many different explanations.
Some say the whales chase small fish for food and end up in shallow water because they are not paying attention to where they are going.
Others think the stranding has something to do with Earth’s geomagnetic field. They say that a geomagnetic compass in whales’ brains controls their position. Unusual changes in Earth’s magnetic field can affect whales’ compasses and send them in the wrong direction.
Another explanation suggests that mass stranding is caused by the close relationships that whales have. Pilot whales travel in large groups. One lead whale might mistakenly lead the whole group to shallow water. “And if one gets into trouble, the others will not leave,” said Sheryl Gibney, a leading biologist from New Zealand. “Some will come and try to help. They get trapped on the beach, and then more will come.”
The whales are trapped by mistake or out of sympathy. Once they get stranded, they will likely die. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the US, less than 10 percent of all stranded whales survive.
30．What do we know about the stranding?
A．It happened on the east coast of Australia.
B．It is the world’s first stranding event on record.
C．It caused the death of over 400 pilot whales.
D．It broke a world record.
31．What does the underlined word “chase” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Run after. B．Give up. C．Help with. D．Compete against.
32．According to Gibney, what will other whales do if their lead whale gets in trouble?
A．They will change their direction.
B．They will stay and try to help it.
C．They will push it near the beach.
D．They will travel with another group.

Ernest Miller Hemingway was an American author and journalist. His unique writing style greatly influenced 20th-century fiction, as did his life of adventure and public image. He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. Many of his works are classics of American literature. He published seven novels, six short story collections, and two non-fiction works during his lifetime; a further three novels, four collections of short stories, and three non-fiction works were published posthumously.
Hemingway was born and raised in Oak Park, Illinois. After leaving high school he worked for a few months as a reporter for The Kansas City Star, before leaving for the Italian front to become an ambulance driver during World War I, which became the basis for his novel A Farewell to Arms.

During his time there he met and was influenced by modernist writers and artists of the 1920s expatriate(侨居海外的) community known as the “Lost Generation”. His first novel, The Sun Also Rises, was published in 1926.
After divorcing Hadley Richardson in 1927, Hemingway married Pauline Pfeiffer; they divorced following Hemingway’s return from covering the Spanish Civil War, after which he wrote For Whom the Bell Tolls. Martha Gellhorn became his third wife in 1940, but he left her for Mary Welsh after World War Ⅱ.
Shortly after the publication of The Old Man and the Sea in 1952, Hemingway went on safari to Africa, where he was almost killed in a plane crash that left him in pain or ill-health for much of the rest of his life.
Hemingway had permanent residences in Key West, Florida, and Cuba during the 1930s and 1940s, but in 1959 he moved from Cuba to Ketchum, Idaho, where he committed suicide in the summer of 1961.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个合适的单词或所给单词的正确形式
I woke up this morning 61 (excite) but nervous as today was the day when I would begin my journey of senior high school. Thousands of thoughts rushed through my mind: 62 if I can’t fit in? Will I make 63 good impression? I couldn’t even enjoy the big breakfast my mum had made for me. Seeing I was 64 (terrible) nervous, my mum told me I would be fine if I followed the school rules.
So I smiled and hoped for the best possible outcome (结果). The bus ride seemed so long, but soon enough there I was. I stood outside the school building. It seemed a bit bigger 65 what I had imagined, and I went inside.
As soon as I opened the classroom door, all I 66 (see) were other kids. They all looked anxious and worries spread over everyone’s face. Then I knew I was not the only one feeling this way. I spent the rest of the day 67 (explore) what everything was like. The worried faces disappeared as time went on. We got to know 68 (we) teachers a bit more. They were neither unfriendly 69 strict.
Before I knew it, the day was over. I don’t know why I felt nervous and worried. Senior high school may seem 70 (frighten), but it’s just like junior high.


六、读后续写
71．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A friend of mine whose name was Martin Brown had a bad memory, which made him really famous. He was so forgetful that he sometimes forgot what he was talking about in the middle of a sentence. His wife had to always remind him about his appointments, his classes or even his meals! Since Martin was a professor at a well-known university, his forgetfulness often caused him a lot of trouble. It wasn’t that he was unintelligent, as some critical people tended to say, he was just very, very absent-minded.
One hot summer day, Professor Brown decided to take his children to the beach. The seaside town he planned to visit was about a three-hour train ride away. To make the trip more interesting for his young children, he decided to keep the name of the town secret. Unfortunately, by the time Martin had arrived at the train station, the poor forgetful man had forgotten the name of the town. Luckily, a friend of his happened to be in the station. He offered to take care of the children while Martin went back home to find out where he was going.
The professor’s wife was surprised to see him back again so soon, but she laughed when she heard what was the matter. She distrusted his memory, so she wrote the name of the town on a piece of paper. Satisfied that she had solved the problem, she sent her husband off again. Ten minutes later, she was astonished to see him outside the house again.

29．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“A new study warns that about thirty percent of the world’s people may not have enough water by the year 2025.(一项新的研究警告说，到2025年，世界上大约30%的人口可能没有足够的水。)”、第二段中“PAI researcher Robert Engelman says by the year 2025, about 3000 million people may lack water.(PAI研究员罗伯特·恩格尔曼说，到2025年，大约30亿人可能缺水。)”、第四段中“The report says lack of water in the future may result in several problems.(该报告称，未来缺水可能会导致几个问题。)”可知，“世界水资源短缺”在文中多处出现，是文章的主要内容。故选C项。

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了在澳大利亚一起多达380头领航鲸搁浅的事件，以及人们对于大规模鲸鱼搁浅给出的不同解释。
30．细节理解题。根据第一段中“As many as 470 pilot whales became stranded (搁浅的) in shallow water there and later died.(多达470头领航鲸搁浅在那里的浅水区，后来死亡。)”可知，搁浅事件导致超过400头领航鲸死亡。故选C项。
31．词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Some say the whales chase small fish for food and end up in shallow water because they are not paying attention to where they are going.(一些人说，鲸鱼chase小鱼以获取食物，最终在浅水中结束，因为它们没有注意到自己要去哪里。)”中“small fish for food”和“where they are going”可推知，chase是“追逐”的意思，与Run after同义。故选A项。
32．细节理解题。根据第五段中“One lead whale might mistakenly lead the whole group to shallow water. “And if one gets into trouble, the others will not leave,” said Sheryl Gibney, a leading biologist from New Zealand. “Some will come and try to help. They get trapped on the beach, and then more will come.”(一头领头鲸可能会错误地把整个鲸群带到浅水区。新西兰著名生物学家谢丽尔·吉布尼说：“如果其中一只陷入困境，其它的不会离开。有些会过来帮忙。它们被困在海滩上，然后更多的鲸会来。”)”可知，根据Gibney的说法，如果它们的领头鲸遇到麻烦，其他鲸鱼会留下来帮助它。故选B项。

35．推理判断题。根据文中的“His first novel, The Sun Also Rises, was published in 1926.(他的第一部小说《太阳照常升起》于1926年出版。)”“they divorced following Hemingway’s return from covering the Spanish Civil War, after which he wrote For Whom the Bell Tolls.(海明威结束对西班牙内战的报道后，他们离婚了，之后他写了《丧钟为谁而鸣》。)”“the publication of The Old Man and the Sea in 1952(1952年《老人与海》出版)”可知，1926年第一部小说《太阳照常升起》问世，海明威结束对西班牙内战的报道后写了《丧钟为谁而鸣》，1952年出版了《老人与海》。由此可推测出，文章按照时间顺序介绍海明威的小说。故选B。

【分析】这是一篇哲理性的故事。一个孤独的小女孩很渴望爱。一天，她遇到两只快要饿死的小鸟，就带回家养着，鸟也反馈给她很多的爱。一天，一只鸟飞出了笼子，小女孩怕鸟飞走，当鸟靠近她时，她太用力把鸟捏死了。同时，她感受到了另一只鸟渴望自由，就把另一只鸟放了。鸟落在她肩膀唱起了最甜美的歌。这个故事告诉我们：握得太紧爱就会失去，保存爱的方式是给它自由。
36．空格位于段中。空格前一句话意思是：一天她走在森林里时发现了两只快要饿死的鸟。空格后一句话意思是：她用爱来关心它们，小鸟长得很强壮。可推知，小女孩把小鸟带回了家。选项D中的“took them home”符合语境，并且选项D中的“a small cage”与下文中的cage呼应。故选D。
37．空格位于段首。由空格后的The larger and the stronger of the two birds flew from the cage.（大点强壮点的鸟从笼子里飞了出去）可知，笼子门被打开了。选项F中的“left the door of the cage open”符合情境。故选F。
38．空格位于段中。空格上句意思为：她成功抓住了鸟她很开心。空格下句意思为：她张开手，惊恐的发现鸟死了。选项G中的she felt the bird go softly（她感觉到鸟变软）符合语境，故选G。
39．空格位于段中。空格后句意为：鸟盘旋了一次、两次、三次。由“circle（盘旋）”可知，小女孩把鸟放了出去，因为小笼子里太小鸟无法盘旋。选项E中的threw him softly into the air符合语境，故选E。
40．空格位于段中。空格前句意为：小女孩开心的看着鸟的乐趣。空格后一句意思为：她想要鸟高兴。可知本段是一个快乐的基调，选项A中的“no longer concerned with her loss（不再关注在失去上）”符合语境。故选A。
【点睛】七选五题目主要考查学生综合的英语逻辑思维能力。一篇好的短文，不仅在内容上要前后一致，而且还要语篇结构清晰，上下文逻辑意义严谨。内容的前后一致体现在段内及语篇内话题的自然过渡。语篇结构主要体现为：文章是总分结构，还是按时间或空间顺序发展的，还是辩证三段论的编排的。逻辑意义的严谨最主要的可以通过代词、连词和副词等形式来体现。本文是一篇记叙文，相对来说比较容易，同学们只要按照事件发生顺序合情推断就可以解出一些题。但是要确定自己做的答案是否正确，还是需要一定的检查技能。例如第一题根据句意选好答案后，我们可以认为Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song与home 呼应， a small cage 与下文中的 small cage也呼应。所以确定答案正确。第二题one day是引出故事的常用词。第三题suddenly与in horror呼应，第四题into the air 与 circle 呼应，且与上段中的great need for freedom 呼应，与文章最后一句中的 give it wings 呼应。第五题心情基调一致。这些技巧是我们第一遍做完题进一步确认答案的方法，大家多积累。

71．“What was the matter now?” asked his wife. “I just can’t remember…” Martin Brown swallowed his words, seeing his wife’s glaring eyes. Sensing something was wrong, the anxious Mrs. Brown immediately softened, “Calm down and think hard. Do you forget where you put the name of the town?” Staring into his eyes, Mrs. Brown tried hard to control her temper. Scratching his head, Brown told the truth that it wasn’t the name of the town but the children. Mrs. Brown soon came to realize that he forgot where he had left the children! She lost control and cried angrily.
Hearing the cry, out rushed the neighbours, trying to find out what had happened. The couple quarrelled so loudly that it would almost turn into a fight. Suddenly, the professor’s telephone rang. His friend, whose patience had worn out, called to complain that he as well as the children had waited for Martin Brown so long at the station. Thank goodness! The professor apologized and dashed into his car. Fearing that he may make matters worse, Mrs. Brown insisted on following this time. What relief and delight to see their children running towards them at the train station!
