Four adventurous novels will quickly take you away on an epic journey without leaving your couch.
This Tender Land
by William Kent Krueger
It is about four Creat Depression orphans who flee their harsh school in a canoe down the Mississippi. This is a historical fiction novel that not only captures the time and place of the Great Depression but the characters that lived through it. It is packed with so much heart that you won’t be able to put it down.
Lonesome Dove
by Larry McMurtry
I’ve always been attracted by the idea of the Wild West, and really Lonesome Dove is considered one of the best western novels out there. The book follows Jake Spoon, a former Texas Ranger, who’s on the run from a sheriff (治安官) from Arkansas and would love to be anywhere but Lonesome Dove. Truly this story is about carving out a place for yourself in the world.
Out of Darkness, Shining Light
by Petina Gappah
Based on true events, this novel follows the incredible journey of the men and women who carried Dr. Livingston’s body and all of his work across Africa so that he could be returned to England and all of his research could be preserved. This is a powerful and adventurous story that leads the reader on a winding tale as his loyal followers attempt to get the Scottish doctor home.
The Unlikely Adventures of the Shergill Sisters
by Balli Kaur Jaswal
This family drama truly feels like an adventure as you flip through its pages. At the last request of their dying mother, three estranged (疏远的) British born Punjabi sisters are forced to take a pilgrim’s tour (朝圣之旅) to Amritsar together. This is a powerful and evocative (唤起感情的) travel story from the perspective of three very different women. Together they learn about themselves, about their mother and their lives.
1. Who wrote a historical fiction novel?
A. William Kent Krueger. B. Larry McMurtry.
C. Petina Gappah. D. Balli Kaur Jaswal.
2. Which novel is based on true stories?
A. This Tender Land
B. Lonesome Dove
C. Out of Darkness, Shining Light
D. The Unlikely Adventures of the Shergill Sisters
3. Why do the three sisters take a pilgrim to Amritsar together?
A. Because they learn about themselves.
B. Because their mother likes travelling.
C. Because they are very fond of travelling.
D. Because their dying mother asks them to do so.
【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍的是四部冒险小说的相关信息。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger部分中“This is a historical fiction novel that not only captures the time and place of the Great Depression but the characters that lived through it. (这是一部历史科幻小说，它不仅捕捉到了大萧条的时间和地点，而且刻画了经历大萧条的人物。)”可知，This Tender Land是一部科幻小说，其作者为William Kent Krueger。故选A项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Out of Darkness, Shining Light by Petina Gappah部分中的“Based on true events, this novel follows the incredible journey of the men and women who carried Dr. Livingston’s body and all of his work across Africa so that he could be returned to England and all of his research could be preserved. (这部小说根据真实事件改编，讲述了抬着Livingston博士的尸体和他的所有工作穿越非洲的男男女女们的不可思议的旅程，这样他就可以被送回英国，他的所有研究都可以被保存下来。)”可知，这部小说基于真实事件改编，所以Out of Darkness, Shining Light是基于真实故事的一部小说。故选C项。
【3题详解】

B
When I decided to leave my home country to get a degree in Canada, I hadn’t expected that communication would be an issue. I had thought I could express myself in English easily. I took English lessons in my teens and scored well on English tests.
But soon after my arrival in Canada, I realized how wrong I was. In research discussions, surrounded by native English speakers，I had to be careful about what they said. I needed to consciously follow each conversation and translate it into my native language. Then, I had to reflect carefully on it and think of an answer. Finally, I tried to find the right English words to communicate. Constantly thinking about what I would say next, I had a hard time remaining focused on conversations.
But when I again failed to say exactly what I meant in a meeting a few months later, I came up with a simple idea. Why not take part in the discussion in writing? Communicating with my workmates by e-mail, I had more time to think and comfortably express my thoughts. Over time, this practice helped improve my English significantly.
In addition, I learned to be open with my workmates. I decided to remind them that English is not my first language. I asked them to speak more slowly to help me follow the discussions. It was a little awkward to draw attention to what might be seen as a weakness. And at first, the other members of the research team seemed slightly surprised. But they gradually seemed to become more aware of how they were speaking. And then I felt more comfortable joining in the conversation. With efforts on both sides, we could overcome language problems.
4. How did the author feel about his communication in English before going to Canada?
A. Worried. B. Confident. C. Doubtful. D. Hopeless.
5. What does the underlined word “consciously” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Morally. B. Passively. C. Uncomfortably. D. Purposely.
6. What method has greatly improved the author’s English?
A. Talking to his workmates more often. B. Asking his workmates to give him more time.
C. Communicating with his workmates by e-mail. D. Discussing with his workmates at the meeting.
7. Which way helped the author solve the conversation problem finally?
A. Asking his workmates to speak slowly. B. Making himself understood slowly.
C. Learning to show his advantages. D. Trying to join in the team.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己去加拿大攻读学位时英语交流成为了障碍，通过一系列的努力作者解决了这个问题。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“When I decided to leave my home country to get a degree in Canada, I hadn’t expected that communication would be an issue. I had thought I could express myself in English easily. I took English lessons in my teens and scored well on English tests.”（当我决定离开我的祖国去加拿大攻读学位时，我没有想到交流会成为一个问题。我原以为我能用英语轻松地表达自己的意思。我十几岁时上过英语课，英语考试成绩很好。）可知，在去加拿大之前作者对自己的英文交流很有信心。故选B。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段第二句中的“I had to be careful about what they said”（我不得不仔细听他们说的话）和第三句中的“follow each conversation and translate it into my native language”（注意每段对话并将其翻译成我的母语）可知，consciously意为“有意地”，故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“Communicating with my workmates by e-mail, I had more time to think and comfortably express my thoughts. Over time, this practice helped improve my English significantly.”（通过电子邮件和同事们交流，我有了更多的时间去思考和舒服地表达我的想法。随着时间的推移，这种做法显著地帮助提高我的英语。）可知，作者用电子邮件与同事交流，大大提高了他的英语水平。故选C。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第三句“I asked them to speak more slowly to help me follow the discussions.”（我请他们讲慢一点，以便我能跟上讨论的进度。）和最后一句“With efforts on both sides, we could overcome language problems.”（通过双方的努力，我们可以克服语言上的困难。）可知，让他的同事慢点说帮助作者最终解决了对话问题。故选A。
C
“I wish I grew up back in your childhood,” my 14-year-old son said to me. He has an iPhone that is newer than mine. He has many kind friends. There are many forms of entertainment today and he can find nearly all of human knowledge through the Internet. However, he wishes he grew up in the 1970s and 1980s. “Why?” I asked. My son’s answer involves freedom, risk and over-involvement of adults in kids’ lives.
My son has heard his dad tell stories of summer days at the river with his friends. They would jump off the wooden bridge into the water below. My son lives just a few blocks from the same river and the same bridge. The town hasn’t changed, but times have changed. My son knows that if he and his friends try to jump off the bridge and swim as his dad did many times, the most likely outcome (结果) is that some kind adults will call the police.
At 14, an age at which, in generations past, most boys were contributing to the well-being of their families by working, and my son is ready, able and willing to put his skills and strength to the test in the real world. However, he, like so many other American boys and girls, is prevented by a culture that seems to have raised safety to the highest regard, without considering how a lack of risk might negatively affect kids’ development.
Let kids try some risky things — cutting the lawn; using tools and sharp knives; starting a fire; cooking — under the supervision (监管) of an adult who tells them safety rules. Allow your kids to gradually take more responsibility. A kid who helps prepare and cook meals will be better prepared to cook independently.
Above all, encourage and praise your kids’ determination. Their desire to deal with challenges and take risks will serve them well in the years to come.
8. Why does the author mention her son?
A. To praise her son for his creativity.
B. To encourage kids to live a simple life.
C. To introduce the topic of kids’ lacking chances to risk.
D. To show kids’ love for their parents’ childhood life.
9. If trying to jump into the river, the author’s son will probably be .
A. warned of danger B. stopped by the police
C. praised for his courage D. punished seriously by his parents
10. What does the author advise parents to do?
A. Try risky things before their kids.
B. Help their kids complete risky things.
C. Let their kids know the safety rules first.
D. Supervise their kids when they are doing risky things.
11. What might be the best title for this passage?
A. Let Your Kids Take a Risk!
B. Improve Your Kids’ Determination!
C. Don’t Be Afraid When Facing Challenges!
D. Share Your Childhood Life with Your Kids!
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者主要通过描述孩子的愿望，认为孩子应该在成人的监护下适当地从事一些冒险的事情，家长不应该一味地保护孩子。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的““I wish I grew up back in your childhood,” my 14-year-old son said to me.(“我希望我能回到你的童年，”我14岁的儿子对我说。)”和“My son’s answer involves freedom, risk and over-involvement of adults in kids’ lives.(我儿子的回答涉及自由、风险和成年人对孩子生活的过度介入。)”可知，作者儿子希望回到作者那时候的童年，说明孩子羡慕作者那时的童年，而在问到为什么时，作者儿子的回答中涉及到“自由、冒险以及成年人的过度干预”，结合下文中作者论述的关于成年人如何培养孩子的问题可知，作者提到她的儿子是为了引出本文的话题：孩子缺乏冒险机会。故选C项。
9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“My son knows that if he and his friends try to jump off the bridge and swim as his dad did many times, the most likely outcome (结果) is that some kind adults will call the police.(我儿子知道，如果他和他的朋友们像他爸爸那样多次从桥上跳下去游泳，最有可能的结果是某个好心的成年人会打电话给警察。)”可知，作者儿子知道，如果跳下河去游泳的话，某个好心的成年人会报警，由此可知，警察会来阻止作者儿子随意跳河去游泳。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Let kids try some risky things — cutting the lawn; using tools and sharp knives; starting a fire; cooking — under the supervision (监管) of an adult who tells them safety rules.(让孩子们尝试一些有风险的事情——剪草坪；使用工具和锋利的刀具；引起火灾；做饭——在大人的监督下，大人会告诉他们安全规则。)”可知，作者建议，在家长监管的情况下，让孩子去尝试一些有风险的事情，也就是说，在孩子做危险的事情时监督他们。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中作者介绍儿子的愿望引出本文讲述的话题，结合第三段中的“However, he, like so many other American boys and girls, is prevented by a culture that seems to have raised safety to the highest regard, without considering how a lack of risk might negatively affect kids’ development.(然而，像许多其他美国男孩和女孩一样，他被一种似乎把安全提升到最高的文化所阻碍，而没有考虑到缺乏风险可能对孩子的发展产生怎样的负面影响。)”可知，作者认为安全放到第一位似乎是阻止了孩子们的发展，甚至是没有考虑到缺乏风险对孩子产生的负面影响，根据第四段中的“Let kids try some risky things — cutting the lawn; using tools and sharp knives; starting a fire; cooking — under the supervision (监管) of an adult who tells them safety rules. (让孩子们尝试一些有风险的事情——剪草坪；使用工具和锋利的刀具；引起火灾；做饭——在大人的监督下，大人会告诉他们安全规则。)”可知，作者建议家长在孩子们做危险的事情时监督他们，结合尾段“Their desire to deal with challenges and take risks will serve them well in the years to come.(他们应对挑战和承担风险的愿望将在未来的岁月中为他们提供良好的服务。)”可知，作者认为，孩子们应对挑战和承担风险的愿望为他们以后的人生提供了良好的服务，综合以上信息可知，作者认为孩子应该在家长的监督下进行一些适当的冒险事情，所以本文的题目是“让孩子去冒险”符合本文的主题。故选A项
D
In Australia, plenty of wild things can bite or, sting (刺痛) you. Strangely enough, one of them is a tree. The rain forests of eastern Australia are home to a stinging tree known as Dendrocnide.
Many people call it the gympie-gympie tree—a name given to the tree by native Australians. “Like other stinging plants, the stinging tree is covered in needle-like hairs, which are around five millimeters in length and can inject (注射) poison when they make contact with skin. The pain caused by the tree’s sting is severe and it can last for hours, days or weeks,” said Irina Vetter, associate professor at the University of Queensland.
Scientists have long looked for the source of this powerful sting. Now researchers at the University of Queensland have discovered what makes the tree’s sting so bad. After carefully studying different kinds of gympie-gympie trees, the scientists were able to separate out different chemicals that the trees produce. This allowed them to identify a group of chemicals they believed was responsible for the pain.
The researchers created artificial versions of these chemicals, which they call “gympietides”.
Sure enough, when the scientists injected mice with gympietides, the mice licked (舔) the places where they’d been injected, which showed that they hurt in those places. When the scientists studied the way gympietides were built, they found that they formed a knot-like (扭结的) shape. The shape makes the chemicals very stable, which helps explain why the pain stays so long.
The knot-like shape of gympietides was similar to the shape of poisons produced by poisonous spiders and cone snails. The scientists were surprised to see three very different kinds of life all using similar poisons. Spiders and cone snails carry poisons because they catch food by stinging other creatures. It’s not clear how stinging helps the gympie-gympie tree.
The scientists also discovered gympietides seem to cause everlasting changes to the channels in sensory neurons (感觉神经元). This action also helps to explanation why the pain lasts so long.
“By understanding how this poison works, we hope to provide better treatment for those who have been stung by the plant, to ease or stop the pain,” said Vetter.
12. What is the function of Paragraph 2?
A. To provide information about the stinging tree.
B. To warn people of the danger of the stinging tree.
C. To stress the importance of studying the stinging tree.
D. To explain the reason why the stinging tree is poisonous.
13. What do scientists fail to find out about the stinging tree?
A. How it produces poison. B. What poison it produces.
C. How the sting helps the tree. D. The consequences of its sting.
14. What does Irina Vetter think of the research findings?
A. They are not reliable. B. They are of great value.
C. They have no practical use. D. They need to be further proved.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Scientists discover the stinging tree’s secret
B. Caution: stinging trees can bite and poison you
C. Effective ways to avoid being hurt by stinging trees
D. Scientists discover a strange tree species in Australia
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了科学家对澳大利亚的金皮树进行研究，发现了其刺到人们导致疼痛的原因以及尽管这种树有毒，它也有天敌。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Many people call it the gympie-gympie tree—a name given to the tree by native Australians. “Like other stinging plants, the stinging tree is covered in needle-like hairs, which are around five millimeters in length and can inject (注射) poison when they make contact with skin. The pain caused by the tree’s sting is severe and it can last for hours, days or weeks,” said Irina Vetter, associate professor at the University of Queensland. （许多人称它为金皮树，这是澳大利亚人给这种树起的名字。与其他刺植物一样，刺树上覆盖着针状的毛发，长度约为5毫米，当它们接触皮肤时会中毒。昆士兰大学副教授伊琳娜•维特说：“树上的刺痛很严重，可以持续数小时、数天或数周。”）”可知，第二段主要起到的作用是提供有关刺树的信息，故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段“The scientists were surprised to see three very different kinds of life all using similar poisons. Spiders and cone snails carry poisons because they catch food by stinging other creatures. It’s not clear how stinging helps the gympie-gympie tree.（关科学家惊讶地发现三种不同种类的树都有相似的毒液。蜘蛛和锥形蜗牛携带毒素，因为它们通过刺其他生物来获取食物。科学家仍热不清楚刺是如何保护金皮树的。）”可知，科学家没有发现金皮树的刺如何保护金皮树，故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““By understanding how this poison works, we hope to provide better treatment for those who have been stung by the plant, to ease or stop the pain,” said Vetter.（Vetter说道：“通过理解这种毒是如何起作用的，我们希望可以为那些被这种植物所刺到的人提供更好的治疗方式，来减轻或者停止这种疼痛”。）”可知，认为这种研究可以帮助提供更好的治疗方式，故可推知，她认为这些研究是由价值的，故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In Australia, plenty of wild things can bite or, sting (刺痛) you. Strangely enough, one of them is a tree. The rain forests of eastern Australia are home to a stinging tree known as Dendrocnide.（在澳大利亚，很多野生动物都会咬人或蜇人。你奇怪的是，其中有一棵是树。澳大利亚东部的热带雨林是一种刺人的树的家园，这种树被称为叶火麻树。）”可知，本文主要围绕带有毒性的金皮树，研究了其刺到人们导致疼痛的原因以及尽管这种树有毒，它也有天敌。故A项“科学家发现了刺树的秘密”符合本文标题，故选A。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many people think that English writing is difficult. ____16____ Here are some great writing tips that will help you improve your writing in a short time.
Don’t ramble (长篇大论). This is a very common mistake made by people who have poor writing skills. When they ramble, they are not paying attention to grammar. As a result, their sentences become very long. ____17____ If you know you have poor grammar, use short sentences.
____18____ Think about each sentence carefully to make sure that it is correct before moving on. It’s better to write a short passage that is easy to read and mistake-free than to write a long article that is filled with grammar mistakes.
Increase your vocabulary. If you don’t have a large vocabulary, you will find it difficult to write as you can’t find right words to express yourself clearly. The solution to this problem is to increase your vocabulary. ____19____ You can do this by reading the local newspapers daily, borrowing books from the library or watching English programs.
Don’t write when you are tired. Tiredness can lead to nothing to write. If you find yourself looking at a blank piece of paper with nothing to write, don’t just sit there! Take a walk or a warm shower, or simply lie down to get some rest. ____20____ You’ll find that you’ll enjoy your writing a lot more and make fewer mistakes!
A. Find out the mistakes you’ve made.
B. Make sure your sentences are correct.
C. You can pick up new words almost anywhere.
D. Write what interests you most in the beginning.
E. As a result, they may give up after trying hard for a while.
F. The longer the sentences are, the more mistakes they’ll make.
G. When your mind is relaxed, you should go back to your writing.
【答案】16. E 17. F 18. B 19. C 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了能够在短时间内帮助提高英文写作的几个写作技巧。
【16题详解】
上文“Many people think that English writing is difficult.”（许多人认为英文写作很难。）提到了很多人认为英语写作很难，E项“结果，他们努力一段时间后就可能放弃了”承接上文，其中“they”指代上文的Many people，引出下文“Here are some great writing tips that will help you improve your writing in a short time.”（这里有一些很不错的写作技巧，可以帮助你在短时间内提高写作水平。）介绍提高写作水平的技巧。故选E项。
【17题详解】
上文“As a result, their sentences become very long.”（因此，他们写的句子会变得很长。）提到有些人写的句子非常长，F项“你写的句子越长，语法错误就有可能越多。”则指出上文提到句子写得太长的后果：语法错误增多。下文“If you know you have poor grammar, use short sentences.”（如果你知道自己的语法不好，就使用短句。）衔接F项的“the more mistakes they’ll make”，指出为避免语法错误，使用短句。故选F项。
【18题详解】
设空处是该段的主题句。下文“Think about each sentence carefully to make sure that it is correct before moving on. It’s better to write a short passage that is easy to read and mistake-free than to write a long article that is filled with grammar mistakes.”（仔细斟酌每个句子，确保无误后再继续写。写一篇易读、无错误的小短文总比写一篇满是语法错误的长文要好。）讲的是要力求写出准确的句子，为了避免错误，文章要写得短小准确，由此可推测出该段的主题句为B项“确保你的句子是正确的”。故选B项。
【19题详解】
上文“The solution to this problem is to increase your vocabulary.”（解决这个问题方法是扩大词汇量。）讲的是要扩大词汇量，C项“你在任何地方都能学到新词”指出在哪儿都能扩大词汇量，下文“You can do this by reading the local newspapers daily, borrowing books from the library or watching English programs.”（你可以通过阅读当地日报，借图书馆的书或是看英文节目。）则针对C项提到的观点举出具体的例子说明通过哪些渠道能够扩大词汇量。故选C项。
【20题详解】
上文“Tiredness can lead to nothing to write. If you find yourself looking at a blank piece of paper with nothing to write, don’t just sit there! Take a walk or a warm shower, or simply lie down to get some rest.”（疲劳容易让人写不出来。如果你发现自己在看一张空白的纸，没有什么可写的，不要只是坐在那里！散散步或洗个热水澡，或者干脆躺下来休息一下。）提到疲劳的时候容易写不出东西，并提出去散散步等方式来放松，由此可推测出，放轻松就容易写出文章来，而G项“当你的思想放松时，你应该回到写作中去”能够与上文衔接，符合题意。故选G项。

An Appeal to Preserve Traditional Chinese Culture
With the globalization of the world and the development of modern science and technology, some Chinese traditions are fading away. However, the traditions shouldn’t be abandoned since traditional culture, as a kind of social spirit, is a reflection of social existence. It is a great spiritual force, which has a long-term effect on society. Therefore, it is important to preserve and inherit it.
As far as I am concerned, some effective measures should be taken. To start with, we should attach importance to celebrating Chinese traditional festivals. We can encourage people to learn about the real meaning of those festivals and keep up the traditional practices during the celebration. What’s more, we are supposed to employ new technology properly to help our traditions keep up with times. For example, we can set up websites to introduce traditional festivals and culture, which can raise people’s interest in them. In addition, it is also important to advocate people learning, inheriting, developing and spreading traditional Chinese culture such as various Chinese operas, Chinese folk arts, Chinese Kung Fu etc.
In a word, it is high time that we treasured and developed our valuable traditional culture. Let’s join our hands and take action immediately. Everyone’s efforts count!

第二节 读后续写
47. 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。
When Canadian couple Edith Lemay and Sebastien Pelletier first noticed that their daughter Mia was having visual problems, she was just three years old.
A few years after they first took her to see a specialist, Mia was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa (视网膜色素变性), a rare genetic disease that caused a loss or decline in vision over time. There’s nothing they could really do, because there was currently no cure or effective treatment to slow down the progression of retinitis pigmentosa.
Once they came to terms with the news, the couple focused their attention on helping their child to build the skills that she’d need to lead her way through life. When Mia’s specialist suggested that they should assist her with “visual memories”, Lemay realized that there was one truly incredible way that they could do just that for her.
“I thought, ‘I’m not going to show her an elephant in a book. I’m going to take her to see a real elephant,’” she explains. “And I’m going to fill her visual memory with the best, most beautiful images I can.”
She and her husband soon began making plans to spend a year traveling around the globe with their kid. They thought there were great things to do at home, but there’s nothing better than traveling where they could feast their eyes on the wonderful scenery.
After gathering up enough savings, they soon began their family journey with an in-depth itinerary (行程) that involved traveling to lots of places all over the world.

【答案】参考范文
When the parents finally announced the news, Mia hesitated. “I am bound to lose my sight. It’s meaningless to start the journey.” Mia murmured, with her head down. Observing Mia’s low mood, Lemay took her into the arms, kissing her lightly on the cheek. Softly and slowly, Lemay pictured the vast plains, the crystal clear lakes, and the snow-capped mountains that she had witnessed during her previous travels and said: “Honey, it’s not what we see with our own eyes that lasts, but what we preserve in our memory. We hope to keep you company to beautiful places as many as possible so as to color the rest of your life in your mind.” Having inspired by what her mother said, Mia cheered herself up and set out.
As their family journey went on, Mia became fascinated by these unforgettable visual experiences. Among them, what impressed her most was the scenic spots in nature. With her parents’ company and encouragement, she visited thick and wild forests to see the real elephants as her parents had expected. On the plains, elephants were eating grass, ears flapping lazily as they moved slowly. It was indeed the greatest show in her mind. At that moment, Mia felt that she was so lucky to fill her visual memory with the beautiful images. No matter how hard her life was going to be, the trip would shine in her mind forever.

Four adventurous novels will quickly take you away on an epic journey without leaving your couch.

Truly this story is about carving out a place for yourself in the world.
Out of Darkness, Shining Light

Based on true events, this novel follows the incredible journey of the men and women who carried Dr. Livingston’s body and all of his work across Africa so that he could be returned to England and all of his research could be preserved. This is a powerful and adventurous story that leads the reader on a winding tale as his loyal followers attempt to get the Scottish doctor home.

【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Out of Darkness, Shining Light by Petina Gappah部分中的“Based on true events, this novel follows the incredible journey of the men and women who carried Dr. Livingston’s body and all of his work across Africa so that he could be returned to England and all of his research could be preserved. (这部小说根据真实事件改编，讲述了抬着Livingston博士的尸体和他的所有工作穿越非洲的男男女女们的不可思议的旅程，这样他就可以被送回英国，他的所有研究都可以被保存下来。)”可知，这部小说基于真实事件改编，所以Out of Darkness, Shining Light是基于真实故事的一部小说。故选C项。

B
When I decided to leave my home country to get a degree in Canada, I hadn’t expected that communication would be an issue. I had thought I could express myself in English easily. I took English lessons in my teens and scored well on English tests.
But soon after my arrival in Canada, I realized how wrong I was. In research discussions, surrounded by native English speakers，I had to be careful about what they said. I needed to consciously follow each conversation and translate it into my native language. Then, I had to reflect carefully on it and think of an answer. Finally, I tried to find the right English words to communicate. Constantly thinking about what I would say next, I had a hard time remaining focused on conversations.
But when I again failed to say exactly what I meant in a meeting a few months later, I came up with a simple idea. Why not take part in the discussion in writing? Communicating with my workmates by e-mail, I had more time to think and comfortably express my thoughts. Over time, this practice helped improve my English significantly.
In addition, I learned to be open with my workmates. I decided to remind them that English is not my first language. I asked them to speak more slowly to help me follow the discussions. It was a little awkward to draw attention to what might be seen as a weakness. And at first, the other members of the research team seemed slightly surprised. But they gradually seemed to become more aware of how they were speaking. And then I felt more comfortable joining in the conversation. With efforts on both sides, we could overcome language problems.
4. How did the author feel about his communication in English before going to Canada?
A. Worried. B. Confident. C. Doubtful. D. Hopeless.
5. What does the underlined word “consciously” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Morally. B. Passively. C. Uncomfortably. D. Purposely.

“I wish I grew up back in your childhood,” my 14-year-old son said to me. He has an iPhone that is newer than mine. He has many kind friends. There are many forms of entertainment today and he can find nearly all of human knowledge through the Internet. However, he wishes he grew up in the 1970s and 1980s. “Why?” I asked. My son’s answer involves freedom, risk and over-involvement of adults in kids’ lives.
My son has heard his dad tell stories of summer days at the river with his friends. They would jump off the wooden bridge into the water below. My son lives just a few blocks from the same river and the same bridge. The town hasn’t changed, but times have changed. My son knows that if he and his friends try to jump off the bridge and swim as his dad did many times, the most likely outcome (结果) is that some kind adults will call the police.
At 14, an age at which, in generations past, most boys were contributing to the well-being of their families by working, and my son is ready, able and willing to put his skills and strength to the test in the real world. However, he, like so many other American boys and girls, is prevented by a culture that seems to have raised safety to the highest regard, without considering how a lack of risk might negatively affect kids’ development.
Let kids try some risky things — cutting the lawn; using tools and sharp knives; starting a fire; cooking — under the supervision (监管) of an adult who tells them safety rules. Allow your kids to gradually take more responsibility. A kid who helps prepare and cook meals will be better prepared to cook independently.
Above all, encourage and praise your kids’ determination. Their desire to deal with challenges and take risks will serve them well in the years to come.
8. Why does the author mention her son?
A. To praise her son for his creativity.
B. To encourage kids to live a simple life.
C. To introduce the topic of kids’ lacking chances to risk.
D. To show kids’ love for their parents’ childhood life.
9. If trying to jump into the river, the author’s son will probably be .
A. warned of danger B. stopped by the police
C. praised for his courage D. punished seriously by his parents
10. What does the author advise parents to do?
A. Try risky things before their kids.
B. Help their kids complete risky things.
C. Let their kids know the safety rules first.
D. Supervise their kids when they are doing risky things.
11. What might be the best title for this passage?
A. Let Your Kids Take a Risk!
B. Improve Your Kids’ Determination!
C. Don’t Be Afraid When Facing Challenges!
D. Share Your Childhood Life with Your Kids!
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者主要通过描述孩子的愿望，认为孩子应该在成人的监护下适当地从事一些冒险的事情，家长不应该一味地保护孩子。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的““I wish I grew up back in your childhood,” my 14-year-old son said to me.(“我希望我能回到你的童年，”我14岁的儿子对我说。)”和“My son’s answer involves freedom, risk and over-involvement of adults in kids’ lives.(我儿子的回答涉及自由、风险和成年人对孩子生活的过度介入。)”可知，作者儿子希望回到作者那时候的童年，说明孩子羡慕作者那时的童年，而在问到为什么时，作者儿子的回答中涉及到“自由、冒险以及成年人的过度干预”，结合下文中作者论述的关于成年人如何培养孩子的问题可知，作者提到她的儿子是为了引出本文的话题：孩子缺乏冒险机会。故选C项。
9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“My son knows that if he and his friends try to jump off the bridge and swim as his dad did many times, the most likely outcome (结果) is that some kind adults will call the police.(我儿子知道，如果他和他的朋友们像他爸爸那样多次从桥上跳下去游泳，最有可能的结果是某个好心的成年人会打电话给警察。)”可知，作者儿子知道，如果跳下河去游泳的话，某个好心的成年人会报警，由此可知，警察会来阻止作者儿子随意跳河去游泳。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Let kids try some risky things — cutting the lawn; using tools and sharp knives; starting a fire; cooking — under the supervision (监管) of an adult who tells them safety rules.(让孩子们尝试一些有风险的事情——剪草坪；使用工具和锋利的刀具；引起火灾；做饭——在大人的监督下，大人会告诉他们安全规则。)”可知，作者建议，在家长监管的情况下，让孩子去尝试一些有风险的事情，也就是说，在孩子做危险的事情时监督他们。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中作者介绍儿子的愿望引出本文讲述的话题，结合第三段中的“However, he, like so many other American boys and girls, is prevented by a culture that seems to have raised safety to the highest regard, without considering how a lack of risk might negatively affect kids’ development.(然而，像许多其他美国男孩和女孩一样，他被一种似乎把安全提升到最高的文化所阻碍，而没有考虑到缺乏风险可能对孩子的发展产生怎样的负面影响。)”可知，作者认为安全放到第一位似乎是阻止了孩子们的发展，甚至是没有考虑到缺乏风险对孩子产生的负面影响，根据第四段中的“Let kids try some risky things — cutting the lawn; using tools and sharp knives; starting a fire; cooking — under the supervision (监管) of an adult who tells them safety rules. (让孩子们尝试一些有风险的事情——剪草坪；使用工具和锋利的刀具；引起火灾；做饭——在大人的监督下，大人会告诉他们安全规则。)”可知，作者建议家长在孩子们做危险的事情时监督他们，结合尾段“Their desire to deal with challenges and take risks will serve them well in the years to come.(他们应对挑战和承担风险的愿望将在未来的岁月中为他们提供良好的服务。)”可知，作者认为，孩子们应对挑战和承担风险的愿望为他们以后的人生提供了良好的服务，综合以上信息可知，作者认为孩子应该在家长的监督下进行一些适当的冒险事情，所以本文的题目是“让孩子去冒险”符合本文的主题。故选A项
D
In Australia, plenty of wild things can bite or, sting (刺痛) you. Strangely enough, one of them is a tree. The rain forests of eastern Australia are home to a stinging tree known as Dendrocnide.
Many people call it the gympie-gympie tree—a name given to the tree by native Australians. “Like other stinging plants, the stinging tree is covered in needle-like hairs, which are around five millimeters in length and can inject (注射) poison when they make contact with skin. The pain caused by the tree’s sting is severe and it can last for hours, days or weeks,” said Irina Vetter, associate professor at the University of Queensland.
Scientists have long looked for the source of this powerful sting. Now researchers at the University of Queensland have discovered what makes the tree’s sting so bad. After carefully studying different kinds of gympie-gympie trees, the scientists were able to separate out different chemicals that the trees produce. This allowed them to identify a group of chemicals they believed was responsible for the pain.
The researchers created artificial versions of these chemicals, which they call “gympietides”.
Sure enough, when the scientists injected mice with gympietides, the mice licked (舔) the places where they’d been injected, which showed that they hurt in those places. When the scientists studied the way gympietides were built, they found that they formed a knot-like (扭结的) shape. The shape makes the chemicals very stable, which helps explain why the pain stays so long.
The knot-like shape of gympietides was similar to the shape of poisons produced by poisonous spiders and cone snails. The scientists were surprised to see three very different kinds of life all using similar poisons. Spiders and cone snails carry poisons because they catch food by stinging other creatures. It’s not clear how stinging helps the gympie-gympie tree.
The scientists also discovered gympietides seem to cause everlasting changes to the channels in sensory neurons (感觉神经元). This action also helps to explanation why the pain lasts so long.
“By understanding how this poison works, we hope to provide better treatment for those who have been stung by the plant, to ease or stop the pain,” said Vetter.
12. What is the function of Paragraph 2?
A. To provide information about the stinging tree.
B. To warn people of the danger of the stinging tree.
C. To stress the importance of studying the stinging tree.
D. To explain the reason why the stinging tree is poisonous.
13. What do scientists fail to find out about the stinging tree?
A. How it produces poison. B. What poison it produces.
C. How the sting helps the tree. D. The consequences of its sting.
14. What does Irina Vetter think of the research findings?
A. They are not reliable. B. They are of great value.
C. They have no practical use. D. They need to be further proved.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Scientists discover the stinging tree’s secret
B. Caution: stinging trees can bite and poison you
C. Effective ways to avoid being hurt by stinging trees
D. Scientists discover a strange tree species in Australia
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了科学家对澳大利亚的金皮树进行研究，发现了其刺到人们导致疼痛的原因以及尽管这种树有毒，它也有天敌。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Many people call it the gympie-gympie tree—a name given to the tree by native Australians. “Like other stinging plants, the stinging tree is covered in needle-like hairs, which are around five millimeters in length and can inject (注射) poison when they make contact with skin. The pain caused by the tree’s sting is severe and it can last for hours, days or weeks,” said Irina Vetter, associate professor at the University of Queensland. （许多人称它为金皮树，这是澳大利亚人给这种树起的名字。与其他刺植物一样，刺树上覆盖着针状的毛发，长度约为5毫米，当它们接触皮肤时会中毒。昆士兰大学副教授伊琳娜•维特说：“树上的刺痛很严重，可以持续数小时、数天或数周。”）”可知，第二段主要起到的作用是提供有关刺树的信息，故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段“The scientists were surprised to see three very different kinds of life all using similar poisons. Spiders and cone snails carry poisons because they catch food by stinging other creatures. It’s not clear how stinging helps the gympie-gympie tree.（关科学家惊讶地发现三种不同种类的树都有相似的毒液。蜘蛛和锥形蜗牛携带毒素，因为它们通过刺其他生物来获取食物。科学家仍热不清楚刺是如何保护金皮树的。）”可知，科学家没有发现金皮树的刺如何保护金皮树，故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““By understanding how this poison works, we hope to provide better treatment for those who have been stung by the plant, to ease or stop the pain,” said Vetter.（Vetter说道：“通过理解这种毒是如何起作用的，我们希望可以为那些被这种植物所刺到的人提供更好的治疗方式，来减轻或者停止这种疼痛”。）”可知，认为这种研究可以帮助提供更好的治疗方式，故可推知，她认为这些研究是由价值的，故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“In Australia, plenty of wild things can bite or, sting (刺痛) you. Strangely enough, one of them is a tree. The rain forests of eastern Australia are home to a stinging tree known as Dendrocnide.（在澳大利亚，很多野生动物都会咬人或蜇人。你奇怪的是，其中有一棵是树。澳大利亚东部的热带雨林是一种刺人的树的家园，这种树被称为叶火麻树。）”可知，本文主要围绕带有毒性的金皮树，研究了其刺到人们导致疼痛的原因以及尽管这种树有毒，它也有天敌。故A项“科学家发现了刺树的秘密”符合本文标题，故选A。

Don’t ramble (长篇大论). This is a very common mistake made by people who have poor writing skills. When they ramble, they are not paying attention to grammar. As a result, their sentences become very long. ____17____ If you know you have poor grammar, use short sentences.

The solution to this problem is to increase your vocabulary. ____19____ You can do this by reading the local newspapers daily, borrowing books from the library or watching English programs.
Don’t write when you are tired. Tiredness can lead to nothing to write. If you find yourself looking at a blank piece of paper with nothing to write, don’t just sit there!

【答案】16. E 17. F 18. B 19. C 20. G
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了能够在短时间内帮助提高英文写作的几个写作技巧。
【16题详解】
上文“Many people think that English writing is difficult.”（许多人认为英文写作很难。）提到了很多人认为英语写作很难，E项“结果，他们努力一段时间后就可能放弃了”承接上文，其中“they”指代上文的Many people，引出下文“Here are some great writing tips that will help you improve your writing in a short time.”（这里有一些很不错的写作技巧，可以帮助你在短时间内提高写作水平。）介绍提高写作水平的技巧。故选E项。
【17题详解】
上文“As a result, their sentences become very long.”（因此，他们写的句子会变得很长。）提到有些人写的句子非常长，F项“你写的句子越长，语法错误就有可能越多。”则指出上文提到句子写得太长的后果：语法错误增多。下文“If you know you have poor grammar, use short sentences.”（如果你知道自己的语法不好，就使用短句。）衔接F项的“the more mistakes they’ll make”，指出为避免语法错误，使用短句。故选F项。
【18题详解】
设空处是该段的主题句。下文“Think about each sentence carefully to make sure that it is correct before moving on. It’s better to write a short passage that is easy to read and mistake-free than to write a long article that is filled with grammar mistakes.”（仔细斟酌每个句子，确保无误后再继续写。写一篇易读、无错误的小短文总比写一篇满是语法错误的长文要好。）讲的是要力求写出准确的句子，为了避免错误，文章要写得短小准确，由此可推测出该段的主题句为B项“确保你的句子是正确的”。故选B项。
【19题详解】
上文“The solution to this problem is to increase your vocabulary.”（解决这个问题方法是扩大词汇量。）讲的是要扩大词汇量，C项“你在任何地方都能学到新词”指出在哪儿都能扩大词汇量，下文“You can do this by reading the local newspapers daily, borrowing books from the library or watching English programs.”（你可以通过阅读当地日报，借图书馆的书或是看英文节目。）则针对C项提到的观点举出具体的例子说明通过哪些渠道能够扩大词汇量。故选C项。
【20题详解】
上文“Tiredness can lead to nothing to write. If you find yourself looking at a blank piece of paper with nothing to write, don’t just sit there! Take a walk or a warm shower, or simply lie down to get some rest.”（疲劳容易让人写不出来。如果你发现自己在看一张空白的纸，没有什么可写的，不要只是坐在那里！散散步或洗个热水澡，或者干脆躺下来休息一下。）提到疲劳的时候容易写不出东西，并提出去散散步等方式来放松，由此可推测出，放轻松就容易写出文章来，而G项“当你的思想放松时，你应该回到写作中去”能够与上文衔接，符合题意。故选G项。

An Appeal to Preserve Traditional Chinese Culture
With the globalization of the world and the development of modern science and technology, some Chinese traditions are fading away. However, the traditions shouldn’t be abandoned since traditional culture, as a kind of social spirit, is a reflection of social existence. It is a great spiritual force, which has a long-term effect on society. Therefore, it is important to preserve and inherit it.
As far as I am concerned, some effective measures should be taken. To start with, we should attach importance to celebrating Chinese traditional festivals. We can encourage people to learn about the real meaning of those festivals and keep up the traditional practices during the celebration. What’s more, we are supposed to employ new technology properly to help our traditions keep up with times. For example, we can set up websites to introduce traditional festivals and culture, which can raise people’s interest in them. In addition, it is also important to advocate people learning, inheriting, developing and spreading traditional Chinese culture such as various Chinese operas, Chinese folk arts, Chinese Kung Fu etc.
In a word, it is high time that we treasured and developed our valuable traditional culture. Let’s join our hands and take action immediately. Everyone’s efforts count!

第二节 读后续写
47. 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。
When Canadian couple Edith Lemay and Sebastien Pelletier first noticed that their daughter Mia was having visual problems, she was just three years old.
A few years after they first took her to see a specialist, Mia was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa (视网膜色素变性), a rare genetic disease that caused a loss or decline in vision over time. There’s nothing they could really do, because there was currently no cure or effective treatment to slow down the progression of retinitis pigmentosa.
Once they came to terms with the news, the couple focused their attention on helping their child to build the skills that she’d need to lead her way through life. When Mia’s specialist suggested that they should assist her with “visual memories”, Lemay realized that there was one truly incredible way that they could do just that for her.
“I thought, ‘I’m not going to show her an elephant in a book. I’m going to take her to see a real elephant,’” she explains. “And I’m going to fill her visual memory with the best, most beautiful images I can.”
She and her husband soon began making plans to spend a year traveling around the globe with their kid. They thought there were great things to do at home, but there’s nothing better than traveling where they could feast their eyes on the wonderful scenery.
After gathering up enough savings, they soon began their family journey with an in-depth itinerary (行程) that involved traveling to lots of places all over the world.

【答案】参考范文
When the parents finally announced the news, Mia hesitated. “I am bound to lose my sight. It’s meaningless to start the journey.” Mia murmured, with her head down. Observing Mia’s low mood, Lemay took her into the arms, kissing her lightly on the cheek. Softly and slowly, Lemay pictured the vast plains, the crystal clear lakes, and the snow-capped mountains that she had witnessed during her previous travels and said: “Honey, it’s not what we see with our own eyes that lasts, but what we preserve in our memory. We hope to keep you company to beautiful places as many as possible so as to color the rest of your life in your mind.” Having inspired by what her mother said, Mia cheered herself up and set out.
As their family journey went on, Mia became fascinated by these unforgettable visual experiences. Among them, what impressed her most was the scenic spots in nature. With her parents’ company and encouragement, she visited thick and wild forests to see the real elephants as her parents had expected. On the plains, elephants were eating grass, ears flapping lazily as they moved slowly. It was indeed the greatest show in her mind. At that moment, Mia felt that she was so lucky to fill her visual memory with the beautiful images. No matter how hard her life was going to be, the trip would shine in her mind forever.
