【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了世界上最高的公路隧道——西藏拉萨至林芝段公路隧道的建成通车及意义。

1. at　考查介词。at an altitude of表示“海拔高度有……”，故填at。

2. connecting　考查非谓语动词。the 400­km highway 与connect之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，表示主动，用现在分词作后置定语，故填connecting。

3. (to) shorten　考查动词。此处缺少动词作谓语，help (to) do表示“帮助做”，故填(to) shorten。

4. difficulties　考查名词的单复数。表示“具体的困难”时，difficulty是可数名词，two 修饰可数名词复数，故填difficulties。

5. who/that　考查定语从句。此处为定语从句，关系词指代先行词2，000 workers (指人)，并在从句中作主语，故填who/that。

6. were created　考查动词的时态和语态。这里讲述的是过去的事情，主语more than ten latest techniques 与create 之间是被动关系，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，且谓语动词用复数，故填were created。

7. said　考查动词的时态。事情发生在过去，用一般过去时，故填said。

8. but　考查连词。分析语境可知，“以前一切都很困难”与“我们从来没有为在这里工作感到难过”是转折关系，故填but。

9. more　考查形容词的比较级。此处有一个隐晦的比较意义，是隧道建成前和建成后的对比，故填more。

10. convenience　考查名词。作动词bring的宾语用名词，表示抽象意义，不可数，故填convenience。

B

A 90­year­old has been awarded “Woman of the Year” for 1. ________ (be) Britain's oldest full­time employee — still working 40 hours a week.

But then we got an official letter and we were blown away. We are so proud of her. It's 10. ________ (wonder)．”

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了九十岁高龄的Irene作为英国最年长的全职员工，依然在宠物店做着朝九晚五的工作，没有退休的打算，她也因此被评为“年度女士”。

1. being　考查非谓语动词。根据其前介词for可知，此处用动名词形式作宾语，故填being。

2. which　考查非限制性定语从句。分析句子结构可知，先行词为“the pet shop”，关系词在非限制性定语从句中作opened的宾语，故填which。

3. finally　考查副词。根据空格所处位置可知，此处应用副词形式作状语，修饰谓语动词have been acknowledged，意为“最终得到认可”，故填finally。

4. declared　考查动词的时态。根据上下文可知，该句主语为Irene，此处为谓语成分，根据后文“had”以及“said”可知，用一般过去时态，故填declared。

5. to retire　考查不定式作定语。此处用to do sth.作后置定语，用来修饰前面的名词plan，表示“……的计划”，故填to retire。

6. have made　考查动词的时态。根据该定语从句中的时间状语“over the years”可知，此处用现在完成时态，故填have made。

7. but　考查并列连词。根据句意逻辑可知，此处为转折关系，用but与前文not呼应，构成“不是……而是……”之意，故填but。

8. saying　考查非谓语动词。前面已经有谓语动词“got”，故此处用非谓语动词形式，say与其逻辑主语call是主动关系，故填saying。

9. a　考查冠词。句意：我们还以为这是一个玩笑。此处joke为泛指，且以辅音音素开头，故填a。

10. wonderful　考查形容词作表语。根据句子结构可知，在系动词is之后用形容词形式作表语，故填wonderful。

Ⅱ. 根据提示补全句子

1. 如果我比现在年轻三岁，我会强烈建议自己设定可行而具体的目标。(if引导的虚拟条件句)

If I were three years younger than I am now, I would strongly recommend that I set more practical and specific goals.

Ⅰ. 阅读理解

Dame Zaha Hadid, the Iraqi­born British architect whose tall structures left a mark on skylines and imaginations around the world and in the process reshaped architecture for the modern age.

She was not an average designer. She liberated (解放) architectural geometry (几何), giving it a whole new expressive identity. Geometry became, in her hands, a vehicle for unprecedented (前所未有的) and eye­popping (令人大开眼界的) new spaces. Her buildings elevated uncertainty to an art, conveyed in the odd (不寻常的) ways.

Her work implying mobility, speed, freedom and uncertainty spoke to a worldview widely shared by a younger generation. “I am not European, I don't do conventional work and I am a woman.” Strikingly Ms Hadid never allowed herself on her work to be categorised by her background or her gender. And she was one of a kind, a path breaker. In 2004, she became the first woman to win the Pritzker Prize, architecture's Nobel.

Zaha Hadid was born in Baghdad on October 31, 1950. Then in 1972, she arrived at the architectural association in London, a centre for experimental design. Her teachers included Elia Zenghelis and Rem Koolhaas. “They aroused my ambition，” she would recall, “and taught me to trust even my strangest instincts.” By the 1980s she had established her own practice in London. And she began to draw attention with an unrealised plan in 1982 — 1983 for the Peak Club.

Her partner, Patrick Schumacher, played an instrumental and collaborative role in her career. Mr Schumacher coined the term parametric (参数的) design to include the computer­based approach that helped the firm's most weird concepts become reality. Ms Hadid called what resulted in an organic language of architecture, based on these new tools, which allow us to combine highly complex forms into a fluid (流线的) and complete whole.

Her sources were nature, history or whatever she sought useful. When her Rosenthal Centre, a relatively modest project, opened in 2003, Herbert Muschamp, the architecture critic declared it “the most important American building to be completed since the end of the cold war”．

“She was bigger than life, a force of nature，” as Amale Andraos, the dean of Columbia University's architecture school, put it, “she was a pioneer.”

She was. For women, for what cities can desire to build and for the art of architecture.

1. What features the structures designed by Zaha Hadid?

A. Free architectural geometry.

B. Conventional design.

C. Odd imagination.

D. Colourful patterns.

2. According to Paragraphs 3 and 4, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Zaha Hadid taught herself to trust instincts.

B. The plan for the Peak Club hasn't been carried out.

C. The architect's gender influenced her work dramatically.

D. Zaha Hadid was the first architect to win the Pritzker Prize.

3. How did the computer­based approach make a difference to Zaha Hadid's work?

A. It contributes to realising the strange ideas.

B. It simplifies the complex structure as a whole.

C. It provides new tools to translate the language.

D. It serves as an instrument to interpret the concepts.

4. The purpose of the passage is to ________．

A. present Zaha Hadid's life experience

B. praise Zaha Hadid's inspiration and diligence

C. compare Zaha Hadid's works in different times

D. show Zaha Hadid's great contributions to architecture

【参考范文】

Dear Tom，

I'm more than delighted to be informed that you show great interest in traditional Chinese festivals.

Tomb Sweeping Day annually falls on April 4th — 6th. The festival was created in memory of our decreased relatives as well as those respected patriotic heroes. Traditionally, people in China observe this holiday mainly by visiting their ancestors' tombs with home­made foods, some flowers and fake money.

From my perspective, Tomb Sweeping Day keeps us reminded of the true spirit of devotion and loyalty of the dead. What's of equal importance is that we appreciate the hope of spring on this occasion.

Best respects!

Yours，

Li Hua
