阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place.Now it is an ecological disaster area.Nauru's heartbreaking story could have one good consequence—other countries might learn from its mistakes.
For thousands of years,Polynesian people lived on the remote island of Nauru,far from western civilization.The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798.He was the British captain of the Hunter,a whaling ship.He called the island Pleasant Island.
However,because it was very remote,Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first.Then whaling ships and other traders began to visit,bringing guns and alcohol.These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island.A ten-year civil
war started,which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.
Nauru's real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate(磷酸盐)on the island.In fact,it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate,which is a very important fertilizer for farming.The company began mining the phosphate.
A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground;it is a strip mine.When a company strip-mines,it removes the top layer of soil.Then it takes away the material it wants.Strip-mining totally
北京天梯志鸿教育科技有限责任公司
destroys the land.Gradually,the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.
In 1968,Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world.Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.
Unfortunately,the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars.In addition,they used millions more dollars for personal expenses.Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem—their phosphate was running out.Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing.By 2000,Nauru was almost financially ruined.Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island.This will probably never happen.
56.What might be the author's purpose in writing the text? A.To seek help for Nauru's problems. B.To give a warning to other countries. C.To show the importance of money. D.To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.
57.What was Nauru like before the Europeans came? A.Rich and powerful. B.Modern and open.
C.Peaceful and attractive. D.Greedy and aggressive.
58.The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from ______. A.soil pollution B.phosphate overmining C.farming activity D.whale hunting
59.Which of the following was a cause of Nauru's financial problem? A.Its leaders misused the money.
B.It spent too much repairing the island. C.Its phosphate mining cost much money. D.It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.
60.What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph? A.The ecological damage is difficult to repair.
B.The leaders will take the experts' words seriously. C.The island was abandoned by the Nauruans. D.The phosphate mines were destroyed.
B
One of the greatest contributors to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual.In 1879,Oxford University in England asked Prof.James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language.It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations(引文) showing how it was used.
This was a huge task,so Murray had to find volunteers from Britain,the United States,and the British colonies to search every newspaper,magazine,and book ever written in English.Hundreds of volunteers responded,including William Chester Minor.Dr.Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England.He gave his address as “Broadmoor,Crowthorne,Berkshire,” 50 miles from Oxford.
Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray.Over the next 17 years,he became one of the staff's most valued contributors.
But he was also a mystery.In spite of many invitations,he would always decline to visit Oxford.So in 1897,Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself.When he arrived,he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum(精神病院) for the Criminally
Insane.
Murray and Minor became friends,sharing their love of words.Minor continued contributing to the dictionary,sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years.Murray continued to visit Minor regularly,sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.
北京天梯志鸿教育科技有限责任公司
In 1910,Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America.Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.
Minor died in 1920,seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed.The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words,and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.

San Francisco has its cable cars.Seattle has its Space Needle.And,Longview has its squirrel bridge.The bridge,which has attracted international attention,is now a local landmark.
The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder,Amos Peters,to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars.
The original bridge was built over Olympia Way on the west edge of the library grounds.Before the bridge was built,squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office building where office staff put out a nutty feast for the squirrels.Many times,Peters and others who worked in and near Park Plaza witnessed squirrels being run over.
One day Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its mouth,and that day's coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety.The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and formed a committee to ask the blessing of the City Council(市政会).The Council approved,and Councilwoman Bess LaRiviere jokingly named the bridge“Nutty Narrows”.
After architects designed the bridge,Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started construction.They built the 60-foot bridge from aluminum and lengths of fire hose(消防水带).It cost $1,000. It didn't take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started.Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching_them_the_ropes.The story was picked up by the media,and
北京天梯志鸿教育科技有限责任公司
Nutty Narrows became known in newspapers all over the world.
In 1983,after 20 years of use,Peters took down the worn-out bridge.Repairs were made and crosspieces were replaced.The faded sign was repainted and in July 1983,hundreds of animal lovers attended the completion ceremony of the new bridge.
Peters died in 1984,and a ten-foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in
memory of its builder and his devotion to the project.
67.The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in order to ______. A.offer squirrels a place to eat nuts B.set up a local landmark C.help improve traffic D.protect squirrels
68.What happened over the coffee break discussion? A.The committee got the Council's blessing. B.The squirrel bridge idea was born. C.A councilwoman named the bridge. D.A squirrel was found dead.
69.What does the underlined phrase“teaching them the ropes”probably mean in the text? A.Passing them a rope.
B.Directing them to store food for winter. C.Teaching them a lesson.
D.Showing them how to use the bridge.
70.Which of the following is true of the squirrel bridge? A.It was replaced by a longer one. B.It was built from wood and metal. C.It was rebuilt after years of use. D.It was designed by Bill Hutch.
71.What can we learn about Amos Peters? A.He is remembered for his love of animals. B.He donated $1,000 to build the bridge. C.He was a member of the City Council.
D.He was awarded a medal for building the bridge.

For those who are tired of doing the laundry,Samsung has found an answer:a washing machine that can tell you when your laundry is done via a smartphone app(application).
Strange though it may seem—“my wife already does that”was a common response among attendees viewing the device when it was introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show(CES) this week—Samsung is just one of many appliance makers racing to install(安装)a large number of internet-connected features in machines in an effort to make them“smart.” Last year,it was a refrigerator that tweeted.This year,it's Wi-Fi-enabled laundry machines
and fridges that can tell you when your groceries are going bad.
The washers and dryers,available starting in the spring,connect to any smartphone through a downloadable application.The phone can then be used as a remote control,so the machines can be turned on and off while their owner is at work or on the bus.
Samsung says it's not just something new—the app connection actually has some practical uses.
“If you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take them out,you can go to your phone and restart your dryer for the time when you come home,so your clothes are refreshed and ready to go,”said spokesperson Amy Schmidt.
The company also says that with electricity rates(电价)varying depending on the time of day,more control over when the machines are used can help save money.
Perhaps,but what they will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies do—enable laziness.Rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done,users will
北京天梯志鸿教育科技有限责任公司
instead monitor it on their phones while watching TV.
72.What can be inferred from the common response of the attendees at the CES? A.The machine will be a big success. B.Their wives like doing the laundry. C.The machine is unrelated to their life.
D.This kind of technology is familiar to them.
73.What can we learn about the new laundry machines? A.They can tell you when your clothes need washing. B.They can be controlled with a smartphone. C.They are difficult to operate. D.They are sold at a low price.
74.We can conclude from Samsung's statements that ______. A.the app connection makes life easier B.it is better to dry clothes in the morning C.smartphones can shorten the drying time D.we should refresh clothes back at home
75.What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A.The laundry should be frequently checked. B.Lazy people like using such machines. C.Good technologies also cause problems. D.Television may help do the laundry.

________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________
1.C 2.A 3.B 4.C 5.A 6.C 7.B 8.B 9.C 10.C 11.A 12.B 13.B 14.A 15.C 16.B 17.A 18.A 19.C 20.A
21.A 考查代词。句意:你读完那本书后,就把它给露西或海伦,或者是其他的任何人。根据give it to Lucy or Helen可知,是把书给某个人。wherever“无论何地”;whatever“无论什么”;however“无论如何”;只有whoever“无论谁,任何人”符合句意。故选A项。
22.D 考查交际用语。从第一句可以看出因为迟到而向对方道歉,因此选用Never mind“没关系,别介意”,符合语境。You are welcome“不客气”;That's right“是的,没错”;I have no idea“我不知道”。
23.C 考查定语从句。先行词为two novels,所以介词之后需要用关系代词which。句意:玛利亚写了两本小说,都拍摄成了电视连续剧。故选C项。
24.D 考查名词。expression“表达,表情”;attention“注意力,关心”;satisfaction“满意,满足”;impression“印象,感想”。句意:他给我的第一印象是他是一个善良体贴的年轻人。故D项正确。
25.B 考查主语从句。句意:在这家商店用现金或信用卡支付都是可以的。句中的or表示“或者”,构成whether...or...的形式。在此句中,it为形式主语,真正的主语是whether you pay by cash or credit card in this store。故选B项。
26.A 考查不定式。only+to do sth.表示意想不到的结果;doing表示自然的结果。句意:乔治战后回来,却被告知妻子已离他而去了。being done通常表示正在被„„;done表示被动完成。结合句意,故选A项。
27.A 考查连词。句意:当玛丽因她喝醉的朋友向他道歉时,他礼貌地笑了笑。as在此句中意为“当„„的时候”,引导时间状语从句。if和unless引导条件状语从句;though引导让步状语从句。故选A项。
28.C 考查时态。句意:杰克发送了一些邮件后,开始忙自己的工作。根据从句中的had sent可以判断使用过去时态,结合句意不难看出动作有先后,即先发送邮件,再开始忙自己的事情,因此主句应选用过去时态。
29.B 考查冠词。句意:在那艰苦的岁月里能够买得起一杯饮料将会是一种安慰。drink在此句中表泛指,指“一杯或一种饮料”;comfort作“安慰,舒适”讲时,为不可数名词,但在此用a comfort表示“一个令人安慰的人或事”,comfort为可数名词。故选B项。
30.D 考查虚拟句。在if引导的条件虚拟句中,与过去情况相反的条件句用had done的形式,主句为情态动词+have done。句意:如果我们没有做好充分的准备,会议也就不会那么顺利。故选D项。
31.C 考查交际用语。句意:——我不知道你怎样,我可是烦透了这样的鬼天气。——我也是。我不能忍受这样的下雨天。根据句意可知,说话者双方都不喜欢那样的天气,因此选用So am I的倒装形式表示和第一人情况一样。I don't care“我不在乎”;It's hard to
北京天梯志鸿教育科技有限责任公司
say“很难说”;I hope so“我希望如此”。
32.B 考查连词。句意:很多高楼在一年前只是废墟的地方建起来了。what需要在句中充当主语、宾语或表语,故排除;before和until都引导时间状语从句,不符合句意。where引导地点状语从句。
33.A 考查形容词。句意:讲点儿道理好不好,你不能指望我在这么短的时间里完成所有的工作啊。reasonable“合理的,公道的,通情达理的”;confident“自信的,确信的”;creative“创造性的”;grateful“感激的,感谢的”。故选A项。
34.D 考查时态。句意:听到他的两个信任的工人要离开的消息,这个经理很担心。根据句中的was concerned可以判断使用过去时态。在英语中一些终止性动词如come,go,leave,arrive等常用进行时态表示将来的含义。故选D项。
35.B 考查非谓语。所填词应在此作定语修饰envelope,而且和envelope构成被动关系,故选用provided表示被动。providing表示主动;having provided也是主动形式,表示动作发生在主句谓语动作之前;provide为动词原形,形式错误。句意:在完成表格并签字后,请用提供的信封把表格寄回给我们。故选B项。
36.B 当我们谈起无家可归者时,我们大多数人会想到发展中国家。truth“事实,真理”;result“结果”。句意:但是事实却是到处都有无家可归者。故选B项。
37.D 通过实例来说明上一句的观点。谁会想到像德国这样一个富裕的国家里竟会看到有人住在大街上。traditional“传统的”;developing “发展的”;typical“典型的,有代表性的”;wealthy“富裕的”。故D项符合文意。
38.C 根据第二段最后一句话中的“...made sandwiches...”和“...gave food to the homeless.”可知,缪勒夫妇为无家可归的人提供膳食。C项符合文意。
39.A 上一句提到缪勒夫妇11年以来一直提供食物,而这开始于一个炎热的夏季。句中的first是一个提示信息。故选A项。
40.D 当别人外出度假时他们却待在家中忙于膳食。根据下一句的“...stayed at home...”可知应选择D项。
41.B 他们在街上摆放了一张桌子。bring up“提出,教育”;set up“建立,装配”;put aside“把„„放在一边,储存„„备用”;give away “放弃,泄露,分发”。故选B项。
42.A enough“足够的,充分的”,结合下一句中的also可知选A项。本句的意思是:缪勒夫妇很快意识到仅仅提供衣物是不够的。
43.D fame“名誉,名声”;freedom“自由”;courage“勇气”;caring“关怀,关心”。他们也需要温暖和关心。下文中缪勒夫妇把电话号码留给他们,说明夫妇两人从精神上也给予他们帮助。故caring符合文意。
44.A not hesitate to do“毫不犹豫做某事”。承接上文,说明了缪勒夫妇关心流浪者的一种方式以及他们慷慨的付出。
45.C 缪勒夫妇要确保一人在家接电话。make sense“有意义,讲得通”;find out“查明,弄清楚”;make sure“确信,确保”;work out“算出,解决”。故选C项。
46.A open“开着”,符合文意。句意:他们的家总是为那些在街上不能面对夜晚的人敞开着。其他选项均不符合文意。
47.D 夫妇两人在那段时间里很快花光了所有的积蓄。此题的干扰项是cost,而cost的主语不能是人。故选D项。
48.B pay for“付钱”;ask for“请求,要求”;look into“向里看,调查”;carry out“执行,贯彻”。他们只有请求得到食品和服装公司的捐助。故选B项。
49.C regularly“定期地,有规律地”。句意:现在有30多家个公司会定期地为慈善事业捐赠食物和其他物品。completely“彻底地,完全地”;calmly“平静地,冷静地”;roughly“粗糙地,概略地”,均不符合文意。
50.C 志愿者帮助把物品送给无家可归者。故选C项。deliver“传达,运送”。 51.A donate“捐赠,捐献”。根据上一句有30多公司的捐助可知一家制鞋厂也捐赠了新鞋子。produce“生产”;design“设计”;collect“收集,聚集”,均不符合文意。
52.B 这里指的是缪勒夫妇无私地奉献。payment“付款,报酬”。句意为:他们的努力工作没有任何的报酬。permission“允许,许可”;direction“方向,指导”;support“支

持,支撑”。
53.D 丽塔说:“我们就像父母一样,不会因为帮助自己的孩子而期望拿到报酬。”expect“期望,预料”,符合文意。
54.C 句意:我们在街上得到的爱就是薪水,虽然丽塔感到劳累。tired说明他们从事这项工作的劳累,故选C项。
55.B make a difference“有影响,有关系”。句意:她会继续工作下去,因为她喜欢能够在世界上发挥一定作用的感觉。make a profit“盈利”;make directions“作出说明”;make rules“制定规则”。
56.B 主旨大意题。文章第一段提到瑙鲁前后的变化以及该段最后一句“...other countries might learn from its mistakes.”可知,作者的写作目的是为了引起其他国家的重视,以示警告。故选B项。
57.C 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“...used to be a beautiful place.”以及第二段第一句“...lived on the remote island of Nauru,far from western civilization.”可知,瑙鲁在欧洲人到来之前是一个安定而美丽的地方。
58.B 细节理解题。文章第四段提到一家英国矿业公司发现瑙鲁含有丰富的磷酸盐后开始开采,第五段又说明了其实这种露天矿的开采破坏了土壤的表层,最终使得“the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon”。因此可以看出其生态灾难是由过度的采矿引起的,故B项正确。
59.A 细节理解题。根据最后一段前两句“...the leader invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars.In addition,they used millions more dollars for personal expenses.”可知,领导人使用资金不当,致使瑙鲁陷入财政困难。故选A项。
60.A 推理判断题。结合文章最后一段倒数第二句专家所说的修复瑙鲁(岛)需要花的钱和时间,以及最后一句“This will probably never happen.”可以推断一旦造成生态破坏,是很难修复的。故选A项。
61.D 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句中的“...asked Prof.James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language.”及后面一句中对字典的编写所做的要求可知,第一本牛津英语字典编写的初衷就是想成为历史上最伟大的字典。A项与原文内容不符,应是在迈纳死后七年完成的;B项编纂者是默雷而不是“an American volunteer”;C项中错在了invent,应该是collect。故D项正确。
62.C 细节理解题。第三段介绍了迈纳帮助默雷编写字典的方式“...sending words and quotations to Murray.”,从而成为最重要的投稿者之一。故选C项。
63.A 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“...found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at
the Broadmoor Asylum for the Criminally insane.”可知迈纳拒绝拜访牛津大学的原因:他因为精神病犯罪而被囚禁在堆满书的小房间中。因此A项正确。
64.B 细节理解题。倒数第三段的第一句说明了两人成为朋友的主要原因:他们都热爱文字。D项为干扰项,错误在于不是到美国看望迈纳,而是到英国。
65.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句话“...thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.”可以推断迈纳是一位不同寻常的学者。故选D项。
66.C 主旨大意题。整篇文章主要介绍了在编写第一本牛津字典的过程中,迈纳即使在精神病院内也忙于积累材料,对于这本字典的完成做出了非凡的贡献,故C项符合整篇文意。
67.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中“...give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars.”可知,建造这座桥的目的是为了保护松鼠。
68.B 细节理解题。从第四段第一句“...that day's coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety.”以及第二句中“The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea...”可知,就是在喝咖啡休息时产生了建造松鼠桥的想法。故选B项。
69.D 词义猜测题。第六段的前两句主要介绍松鼠适应了过桥,并能看到松鼠教小松鼠们怎样过桥;guiding their young 和teaching them the ropes为并列成分,都是松鼠教导小松鼠们过桥的方法,故D项正确。
70.C 细节理解题。倒数第二段说明经过20年的使用,大桥又重新做了修复。故选C

项。文章中没有提到把旧桥修复的更长,A项错误;建桥所用的材料文章也没有涉及,排除B项。比尔·哈奇仅参与了建造工作,并不是设计桥的人,真正的设计者是建筑师。
71.A 推理判断题。从建桥的起因——阿莫斯·皮特斯发现一只死去的松鼠而引发建桥的想法,并投入到后面的建桥工作中,以及文章最后一句话又概括说明了阿莫斯·皮特斯对此项工程的付出,可知A项正确。
72.D 推理判断题。根据第二段提到“...my wife already does that...”以及该段后面提到很多的家电制造商正在努力使他们的家电更加智能化,说明了这种智能技术的普及。故选D项。
73.B 细节理解题。根据第四段“...connect to any smartphone through a downloadable application.”可知洗衣机是与智能手机相连的。故选B项。
74.A 推理判断题。第六段三星公司就智能洗衣机的实用性以及可操作性用实例进行了说明,概括得出这一观点:这种应用程序连接使得生活更加的方便。
75.C 主旨大意题。最后一段点明了现代技术给我们的生活带来了方便的同时,也导致人们产生了惰性等问题。故C项正确。
