A
Ai-Petri Bridges, Crimea
The views of the Crimean coast from the top of 1,234-metre high Ai-Petri Mount are amazing. The hanging bridges built in recent years can reach the top of the mount. If just walking across the bridges is not dangerous enough, it also happens to be one of the windiest places in the world. It is said that the bridges blow from side to side as wind speeds reach 170 kilometres per hour for 125 days of the year. It’s also very foggy, so you may not be able to see clearly!
U Bein Bridge, Myanmar
This five-metre-high, 1.2-kilometre wooden footbridge does not look as dangerous as the others, but do not be fooled. It was built in the 1850s and it’s certainly feeling its age! Some of the old wood is not as strong as it used to be. It is easy to lose your footing. Although there is no handrail (栏杆), large numbers of tourists cross it every day. When the tourists arrive in the evening to watch the beautiful sunset, this bridge could become the most dangerous of them all!
The Trift Bridge, Switzerland
At 100 metres high and 170 metres long, this is one of the highest bridges in the world. Built in 2004, the bridge is hidden among the high Swiss Alps. You wouldn’t have wanted to walk across the bridge before its repair in 2009. But if you have the courage to cross this bridge, you’d better do it quickly!
The Hussaini Hanging Bridge, Pakistan
In the mountainous area of Northern Pakistan, the Hussaini Hanging Bridge helps travelers cross the Borit Lake. However, you will not feel too confident when you get close to this bridge. It’s one of the oldest bridges in Pakistan and many locals use it every day to travel to work and school — imagine losing your homework over the side of this bridge! It’s made from rope, with a few pieces of wood that have large gaps (空隙) between them. Step carefully!
1. What can we learn about U Bein Bridge?
A. It’s very popular at sunset.
B. It’s safest for people to cross.
C. It’s the oldest bridge in the world.
D. It’s made from rope without handrails.
2. One may not enjoy the views clearly on ________.
A. U Bein Bridge B. Ai-Petri Bridges
C. The Trift Bridge D. The Hussaini Hanging Bridge
3. What do the bridges mentioned in the text have in common?

B. All top highest in their country.
C. All have a history of one century.
D. All require plenty of courage to cross.
【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D

【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据U Bein Bridge, Myanmar中的When the tourists arrive in the evening to watch the beautiful sunset, this bridge could become the most dangerous of them all!(当游客们在傍晚来观赏美丽的日落时，这座桥可能会成为最危险的一座桥!)可推断，乌本桥在日落时很受欢迎。故选A。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Ai-Petri Bridges, Crimea中的It’s also very foggy, so you may not be able to see clearly!(而且雾很大，所以你可能看不清楚！)可知，在Ai-Petri桥上，人们可能无法清楚地欣赏景色。故选B。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据Ai-Petri Bridges, Crimea 中的If just walking across the bridges is not dangerous enough, it also happens to be one of the windiest places in the world.(如果只是走过桥还不够危险的话，它碰巧也是世界上风最大的地方之一)；U Bein Bridge, Myanmar中的When the tourists arrive in the evening to watch the beautiful sunset, this bridge could become the most dangerous of them all!(当游客们在傍晚来观赏美丽的日落时，这座桥可能会成为最危险的一座桥！)；The Trift Bridge, Switzerland中的But if you have the courage to cross this bridge, you'd better do it quickly!(但如果你有勇气过桥，你最好快点！)；The Hussaini Hanging Bridge, Pakistan中的It’s made from rope, with a few pieces of wood that have large gaps (空隙) between them. Step carefully! (这是由绳子，几块木头，有很大的空隙。每一步都要很小心！)可推断，四座桥的共同点是都具有危险性，需要足够的勇气才能越过。故选D。
B
We thought we had it all---a beautiful house, three healthy children and one more on the way, two cars, a couple of four-wheelers for entertainment---and we loved it. Then, the market turned and my husband’s job at a construction company was gone. The company was closing down for good.
We both started looking for jobs right away, but there weren’t any to be found. With each passing day we were getting increasingly worried and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through. The more we pulled together, the closer we got. I felt feelings of admiration for my husband that I hadn’t felt in years.
That’s why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our present situation. I continually asked him to stop, but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job.
Finally, one afternoon I pulled him aside and said, “We have four healthy children. That's what's important. That makes you a rich man.” “But what if we lose the house? They’ll hate me---you’ll hate me,” he replied.
I smiled at him and put my hands on both sides of his face to make him look me in the eye.
“No matter where we live I will be happy---as long as I have you.” I smiled again. In all the struggling together I had found that deep love for him that I had on the day we said “I do”.
I could see his shoulders and neck relaxed. He held me close and we were able to talk and plan and dream together in a way that we hadn’t for quite some time. It was a turning point for us as a couple and a family.
We are still struggling for our better life, but I consider us well-off because we have something that money can’t buy and no one can take away from us.
4. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph means that ________.
A. they became closer as they struggled together
B. they hoped to find jobs in the same company
C. both of them had the courage to face difficulty
D. they were trying to make their relationship closer

A. She thought she should be blamed.
B. She thought he had tried his best.
C. She thought he would get a job someday.
D. She thought it would remind her of sad memories.
6. Which of the following can best describe the couple’s present life?
A. Bitter but quiet. B. Comfortable and easy.
C. Hard but happy. D. Well-off and relaxing.
7. The best title of the text might be ________.
A. We Have It All B. We Find It Again
C. A Perfect Couple D. A Hard Time
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了作者的家庭因为丈夫失业而生活变得艰辛，但是他们却拥有最大的幸福。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。划线句前一句提到“we continued to work together in order to pull our family through.（我们继续一起努力，让我们的家庭渡过难关）”；划线句后的一句提到“I felt feelings of admiration for my husband that I hadn’t felt in years.”在和丈夫共同渡过难关的过程中，作者产生了对丈夫从未有过的爱慕之情，夫妻关系也更亲密。由此可以猜测，划线句意思为“生活越艰难，他们变得越亲密”。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。丈夫一直找工作， 但是没找到，于是丈夫责怪自己；文章第三段中提到“I continually asked him to stop”，作者让丈夫停下来，是因为作者觉得丈夫已经尽了自己的力，不应该责怪丈夫。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中作者对丈夫所说的话“No matter where we live I will be happy--as long as I have you. （不管我们住在哪里，我都会很快乐——只要有你在。）”以及“In all the struggling together I had found that deep love for him that I had on the day we said ‘I do’(在努力的过程中，我发现了自己对他深深的爱，就像我们说‘我愿意’的那天一样)”。尽管作者和丈夫生活艰难，但是作者深爱着丈夫。只要丈夫在，就觉得幸福。由此可以推断，他们现在的生活虽然艰辛，但是他们觉得幸福。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。文章讲述了丈夫失业后，生活虽然艰辛，但是作者觉得自己拥有一切。文章第四段中提到作者所说的话“We have four healthy children. That's what's important. That makes you a rich man.”，作者认为有健康的孩子是最重要的，就觉得富有；文章倒数第三段中提到作者对丈夫说的话“No matter where we live I will be happy--as long as I have you.”，作者觉得只要有丈夫在，就觉得幸福。由此可知，文章的标题应为“We Have It All（我们拥有一切。）”故选A。
C
New research suggests that dogs might be able to help save diseased citrus trees.
A group of scientists trained dogs to use their sense of smell to detect a crop disease called citrus-greening. The disease has affected orange, lemon and grapefruit trees in the American states of Florida, California and Texas.
The dogs can detect the disease weeks to years before it appears on tree leaves and roots, the researchers report. A study on their findings was published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The report says using dogs is also faster, less costly and more exact than having people collect hundreds of leaves for lab analysis.
Timothy Gottwald is a researcher with the U. S. Department of Agriculture and a co-writer of the study. He told The Associated Press, “This technology is thousands of years old-the dog’s nose. We’ve just trained dogs to hunt new prey.”
Citrus-greening is caused by a bacteria (细菌) that is spread by a tiny insect that feeds on the leaves and stems of citrus trees. Once a tree is infected (感染), there is no cure. The disease has also hurt citrus crops in Central and South America and Asia. In one experiment involving grapefruit trees in Texas, trained dogs were correct 95 percent of the time in telling the difference between newly infected trees and healthy ones. “The earlier you detect a disease, the better chance you have at stopping an epidemic (流行病) by removing infected trees,” Gottwald said.
Matteo Garbelotto studies plants at the University of California, Berkeley. He says the new research shows that dogs can detect an infection well before current methods. Garbelotto has been involved in similar research but had no part in the new study.
Laura Sims is a plant scientist with Louisiana Tech University. She praised the steps taken to find out if the dogs were detecting the bacteria itself or a plant’s reaction to an infection. To do that, the researchers infected different kinds of unrelated plants with the bacteria in a laboratory. The dogs were still able to pick out the infected plants.
Gottwald said, “You’ve seen dogs working in airports, detecting drugs and explosives. Maybe soon you will see them working on more farms. ”
8. According to the research, trained dogs can ________.
A. help infected trees recover from diseases B. recognize a crop disease in its early stage
C. cause fruit trees to grow faster than usual D. reduce the cost of planting some fruit trees
9. What does the underlined part “new prey” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Infected plants. B. Fruit trees. C. Tiny insects. D. Favourite foods.
10. Why did the researchers do experiments on unrelated plants?
A. To further prove the findings. B. To explore the plant diseases.
C. To present different opinions. D. To discover a plant’s reactions.
11. How does Gottwald feel about the future use of this new method?
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Indifferent. D. Curious.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了受过训练的狗狗能嗅到影响柑橘树的作物病害，这也许能够帮助拯救患病的柑橘树。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The dogs can detect the disease weeks to years before it appears on tree leaves and roots, the researchers report. (研究人员报告称，在这种病害出现在树叶和树根部数周甚至数年之前，狗狗就可以探测到它。)”可知，受过训练的狗狗可以在农作物疾病的早期就将其识别出来。故选B项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“A group of scientists trained dogs to use their sense of smell to detect a crop disease called citrus-greening. (一群科学家训练狗狗利用它们的嗅觉来检测一种叫做柑橘绿病的农作物疾病。)”和第五段中“Citrus-greening is caused by a bacteria (细菌) that is spread by a tiny insect that feeds on the leaves and stems of citrus trees. Once a tree is infected (感染), there is no cure. (柑橘变绿是由一种微小昆虫传播的细菌引起的，这种昆虫以柑橘树的叶子和茎为食。一旦树被感染，就没有治愈的方法。)”由用受过训练的狗狗可以找出患病的农作物，可知，划线词new prey指的是“受感染的植物”。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“She praised the steps taken to find out if the dogs were detecting the bacteria itself or a plant’s reaction to an infection. To do that, the researchers infected different kinds of unrelated plants with the bacteria in a laboratory. The dogs were still able to pick out the infected plants. (她对为证明狗狗是否可以检测该种病菌以及检测植物对感染的反应所采取的步骤表示赞同。为了做到这一点，研究人员在实验室里用细菌感染了不同种类的无关植物。这些狗仍然能够分辨出受感染的植物。)”可知，研究人员要在无关的植物上做实验是进一步证明这些发现。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Gottwald said, “You’ve seen dogs working in airports, detecting drugs and explosives. Maybe soon you will see them working on more farms. ”(Gottwald：“你见过在机场工作，在探测毒品和炸药的狗狗。也许很快你就会看到它们更多的在农场工作。”)”可知，Gottwald对这种新方法的未来应用是积极的。故选B项。
D
It’s nothing new that you can find many files or services you can download or use from the Internet. The question is: Is downloading legal or not? In most cases the answer is negative, because sharing and downloading are illegal. Of course, you can find files for legal downloading, but you have to pay for them.
It seems innocent if you click on the download mark, but it isn’t. It should be compared with stealing in a store. Would you steal a magazine, an MP3player or a car? Downloading from the Internet is a theft, and sharing files, once you have stolen them, only makes it wore. For example, if everybody only downloaded, movies wouldn’t make money and the studios wouldn’t invest millions of dollars to make new ones.
Many people may think it better, easier and cheaper to do downloading. I think, that is the main reason why Internet users prefer sharing something to buying them. In the modern world we love convenience and what could be more convenient than getting music, films and games without having to leave your house? You don’t need to pay for what you get, there is no registration, and you don’t have to wait until shops open or the CD/DVD you want is posted to you. However, you could be in big trouble if you are caught. You could go to prison as a result of acting unlawfully, but so far only a tiny amount of people have been charged for downloading illegally. The majority of people who download illegally, and use the files for their personal use, will not get in trouble. And that's why it’s important for people to understand what the long-term consequences are if they don’t want to pay for their music, films and TV. Will film and music companies still spend millions of pounds every year if they have no chance of making a profit? The answer is plainly “no”.
Finally I would like to say that the Internet offers a lot of services for money, but people will always try to get them for free. To summarize my thoughts, I’d like to highlight that illegal downloading is both unfair towards producers and dangerous for those who practice this kind of activity. You have to decide whether to buy or download.
12. Many people download files free from the Internet because ________.
A. they follow others’ examples to do such things
B. they don’t think they may be charged by the producer
C. they think everything on the Net can be shared by others
D. they think it is legal, convenient and easy
13. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
A. Downloading helps movies become more popular.
B. Downloading free files is as illegal as stealing.
C. Sharing files on the Internet is dangerous.
D. Sharing files on the Internet can make a profit.
14. What does the underlined word “highlight” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Stress. B. Explain. C. Admit. D. Deny.
15. What is the author’s purpose of writing this text?
A. He advises readers to download legal files.
B. He asks readers to limit the amount of free downloading.
C. He wants to make it clear that downloading for free is against the law.
D. He tells readers how to avoid being charged for downloading.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是议论文。文章主要论述了作者对于免费下载网络资源的看法，他认为免费下载资源等同于偷窃，是不合法的。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。文章第二段中提到“It seems innocent if you click on the download mark, but it isn’t.(如果你点击下载标记，它看起来是无罪的，但它不是)”及第三段中“Many people may think it better，easier and cheaper to do downloading.(很多人都认为在网络上免费下载资源是非常的快捷、便宜)”可知，许多人从互联网上免费下载文件，因为他们认为这是合法的，并且又方便、快捷。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“It seems innocent if you click on the download mark, but it isn't．It should be compared with stealing in a store.(如果你点击下载的标志，似乎是无罪的，但它不是。这就好比在商店偷东西)”可推断，作者认为免费下载文件和偷窃一样是违法的。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词前一句提到“the Internet offers a lot of services for money, but people will always try to get them for free.(互联网提供了很多有偿服务，但人们总是试图免费得到它们)”；划线词后表明作者的观点“illegal downloading is both unfair towards producers and dangerous for those who practice this kind of activity.(非法下载对生产者是不公平的，对那些从事这种活动的人是危险的)”可推知，作者是想强调他的观点：免费下载对于生产者和对于下载文件的人都是不好的。由此推知，划线词“highlight”意思为“强调”。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段中提出问题和作者的观点“Is downloading legal or not？In most cases the answer is negative，because sharing and downloading are illegal.(下载是不是合法的？在大多数情况下，答案是否定的，因为分享和下载是非法的) ”；第二段中提到“It should be compared with stealing in a store.(这就好比在商店偷东西)”；第四段中提出“illegal downloading is both unfair towards producers and dangerous for those who practice this kind of activity.(非法下载不仅对生产者不公平，而且对那些从事这种活动的人来说也很危险)”。由此可知，本文主要表达了作者对于免费下载网络资源的看法，他认为免费下载是不合法的。故选C。

第一节 单项选择(共10题；每小题1分，满分10分)
21. It was from the few supplies ________ she had bought from in the village ________ the hostess cooked such a nice dinner.
A. that; where B. which; that C. that; that D. that; which
【答案】C
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查定语从句和强调句。句意：这个家庭主妇仅从村庄里买来的很简单的常用品就做出如此美味的一餐。第一个空处是一个定语从句，先行词是supplies，且前有the few修饰，在从句中作宾语，只能用关系代词that引导；第二个空处是强调句，强调句型的基本结构：it is/was+被强调部分+that/who+其它成分。本题的被强调部分是from only a few supplies that she had bought from in the village，因此用that。故选C项。
22. —My plane is the one that at 10 a.m.
—Then you need to hurry. It in half an hour.
A. is about to take off, takes off B. is about to take off, is taking off
C. takes off, is taking off D. takes off, is about to take off
【答案】C
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查时态。句意：——我是上午10点的飞机。——那你需要快点。半小时后就要起飞了。飞机是按计划或安排起飞的，即按时间表起飞的，因此用一般现在时takes off。第二句是你的飞机按计划在半小时后要起飞，表示要发生的事，用is taking off或is about to take off，但be about to do 后面不能跟具体的时间状语，故只能用is taking off。因此只能选C。
【名师点睛】一般将来时中用be to do ，be about to do和一般现在时表将来时的区别。
(1) 用“be to+动词原形”表示按计划或安排即将要发生的动作；有时也表示命令、禁止或可能性。如：
He is to leave for Beijing tomorrow. 他决定明天去北京。
Tell him he’s not to be back late. 告诉他不准迟回。
(2) 用“be about to+动词原形”表示即将要发生的事，后面一般不跟固定的时间。如：
Look! The race is about to start. 瞧，赛车就要开始了
We are about to leave.我们马上走
(3)某些词come， go ，leave， arrive， start， get ，stay ，live，fly, teke off等用一般现在时表进行。用一般现在时表示按规定或时间表预计要发生的事。
①The meeting starts at five o'clock.议五点始
②He gets off at the next stop.他在下一站下车
(4) come， go ，leave， arrive， start， get ，stay ，live，fly, teke off,等用进行时态表示按计划即发生。
例: I'm leaving for Beijing. 我要去北京。
23. In the film, stories about people ________ lives were greatly affected by the earthquake were told.
A. which B. whose C. who D. where
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意：这部电影讲述了那些生活受到地震极大影响的人们的故事。分析句子结构，“____ lives were greatly affected by the earthquake”是定语从句，先行词是people，在从句中作定语，因此用whose引导。故选B。

24. We stop at home, surf the web but at the same time we are feeling increasingly ________ from each other than other time in human history.
A. cut down B. cut off C. cut out D. cut in
【答案】B
【解析】

26. When I got home, I found the door open. A terrible thought ________ me that someone broke into my house.
A. struck B. swept C. affected D. flooded
【答案】A
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：当我到家时，我发现门开着。我突然想到有人闯进了我的房子。A. struck突然想到；B. swept横扫；C. affected影响；D. flooded淹没。此处是句型Sth. strikes sb.，意思为“某人突然想到……”。故选A。
27. According to the report presented by the police, the cause of the car accident was given as an engine ________.

【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句从句语序和强调句。句意：研究小组仍在努力找出导致这种疾病的原因。根据figure out可知，此处是一个宾语从句，语序是陈述语气（主语+谓语+宾语），即what caused the disease；强调句的基本结构是It is (was)+被强调部分(主语、宾语或状语)+who (that)...，此处被强调部分是what。故选A项。
29. —You wouldn’t mind my opening the window, would you?
— ________, just go ahead.
A. Yes, I wouldn’t B. No, I would C. Yes, I would D. No, I wouldn’t
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查反义疑问句和回答。句意：——你不介意我打开窗户，是吗？——不，我不介意，请吧。当陈述部分是否定形式时，回答要按事实。根据just go ahead可知，回答者不介意打开窗户，表示否定，因此用no和wouldn’t。故选D项。
30. Good writers always ________ an outline before writing an article.
A. give out B. try out C. hand out D. work out
【答案】D
【解析】
【分析】

【答案】were

【解析】
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意：多亏了医疗队的迅速反应，事故发生后伤员很快就被送到了医院。根据后文的happened，可知此处是描述过去发生的事情，需要用一般过去时态，主语是the injured，the+形容词表示一类人，是复数，所以此处be动词需要用复数形式，故填were。

【解析】
【分析】

If you give your children the impression that they cannot do anything quite right, then they ___63___(regard) themselves as unfit or unable persons. ___64___ the children believe that they can succeed, they will never become ___65___(total) independent.
My daughter Carla’s fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class special. When students received ___66___(little) than a perfect test score, she would point out ___67___ they had mastered and declare firmly they could learn what they had missed.
You can use the same technique when you evaluate ____68____(you) child’s work at home. Don’t always scold but give lots of praise instead. Talk about what he has done right, not about what he hasn’t. If a difficult task has been done right by your child, promise him ___69___ Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.
Learning is a process of trying and failing and trying and succeeding. If you teach your children not to fear a mistake or failure, they will learn faster and achieve ___70___(successful) at last.
【答案】61. responsible
62. to help
63. will regard
64. Unless 65. totally
66. less 67. what
68. your 69. a
70. success
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了引导和帮助孩子学习的一种方式。
【61题详解】
考查形容词。短语“be responsible for”是固定搭配，意为“对…负责”。需要把名词形式的responsibility换成形容词responsible。故填responsible。
62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：你可以让你的孩子开始在家帮忙做事。句子中已经有谓语动词“can get”，所以“help”要用非谓语动词形式。“get sb. to do sth.”意为让某人做某事；“get sb. doing sth.”意为让某人一直处于某种状态。再根据句意。故填to help。
【63题详解】
考查动词时态。if 引导的条件状语从句用一般现在时表将来，主句用一般将来时。故填will regard。
【64题详解】
考查连词。句意：除非孩子认为他们会成功，否则他们将永远不会变得完全独立。联系上下文语意，可知此处应该是除非…。且unless做连词，引导条件状语从句，主将从现，符合句型结构。故填Unless。
【65题详解】
考查副词。副词修饰形容词。故填totally。
【66题详解】
考查形容词比较级。than（比…）是比较级的关键词。故填less。
【67题详解】
考查名词性从句连接词。“___7___ they had mastered”在主句中做point out的宾语，且从句中had mastered后边缺少宾语。what在名词性从句中起连接作用，在从句中做成分，翻译为“…的知识”。故填what。
【68题详解】
考查代词。第八题空后边是名词，应该用形容词性物主代词修饰。故填your。
【69题详解】
考查冠词。句意：许诺给他一次周末旅行或和父亲打一次球。根据句意可知是一次周末旅行。冠词修饰名词。且sunday首字母为辅音音素。故填a。
【70题详解】
考查名词。achieve是动词，后接名词作宾语，需要把形容词转换为名词形式。故填success.
