He was born in Pennsylvania in 1765. As a young man, he set out to make his name as a portrait painter. His career took him to Europe and into the orbit of people with the power to support him politically and financially.Fulton entered London society after he painted Benjamin Franklin’s portrait. While abroad, Fulton left the arts for a career in shipbuilding. He was interested in the recently-invented steam engine, and thought it could be used to power ships. Fulton’s vision was not original; many others had entered the field, and the unfortunate inventor John Fitch had built a working steamship already. But like Henry Ford, Fulton’s talent lay not in the invention but in the product’s application in the marketplace. Fulton didn’t focus entirely on the steamboat. In 1804, he tested the first submarine successfully, which he had built for the British Royal Navy. His invention would make him a celebrity upon his return to the United States two years later. Fulton’s partner Robert Livingston obtained an exclusive license for steamboat services on New York’s Hudson River. It was time for Fulton to deliver.To build an efficient, reliable steamboat, Fulton used a special English steam engine. The ship’s bottom was flat and its stern was square. The steamboat Clermont made its debut (首次亮相) on August 17, 1807, steaming up the river from New York to Albany, and it soon entered commercial services. The hilly terrain of New York made water transport faster than land transport, and Fulton’s boat — formerly known as the “North River Steamboat” — was a hit. Within five years, Fulton would be running services on six major rivers plus the Chesapeake Bay, and bring in great profits.24. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A. Henry Ford was as unfortunate as John Fitch.B. Henry Ford was talented in product application.C. Fulton left the arts as he couldn’t support himself.D. Fulton was the first to create a working steamship.25. When did Fulton become a celebrity in the United States?A. In 1804. B. In 1806. C. In 1807. D. In 1812.26. What is mentioned about Clermont?A. It operated for five years.B. It earned Fault much money.C. It had an American steam engine.D. It was not accepted by people at first.27. What’s the best title of the text?A. Robert Fulton and his SteamboatB. Robert Fulton: A Great InventorC. Steamboats Changing Water TransportD. The History of Commercial SteamboatsCJournalists are the major group of people who make their living from writing. Many young people who see themselves as future novelists choose journalism as a way of earning a living while developing their writing skills. Although writing for newspapers and writing for books require different qualities, the aspiration (志向) to be a great writer is not one to be discouraged in a would-be journalist. Most people want their work to be recognized by others. This helps to give it value. Some people also want themselves to be recognized, so that they have status (地位) in the eyes of society. It is not a bad motive to wish to be famous, but this must never become your main reason for being a journalist. You will not be a good journalist if you care more for impressing your audience than for serving their needs.Knowing the power of the printed or spoken word or image, some people enter journalism for the power it will give them to influence people. There is a strong belief that journalists control the mass media but the best journalists recognize their role as servants of the people. There is a difference between the desire to influence events for your own sake, and the desire to do it for other people. You should never use journalism for selfish ends, but you can use it to improve the life of other people.Curiosity is a natural part of most people’s characters and an important ingredient for any journalist. Lots of young men and women enter the profession with the desire to know more about the world without needing to specialize in limited fields of study. Most journalists tend to know a little bit about a lot of things, rather than a lot about one subject. Knowledge has many uses. It can simply help to make you a fuller and more interesting person. It can also give you power over people, especially people who do not have that particular knowledge. Always bear in mind that power can be used in a positive way to improve people’s lives.28. What can we know from the first paragraph?A. Journalists are most likely to become great writers.B. Writing for newspapers is similar to writing for novels.C. Most of the journalists make a living by writing books.D. Journalism can be used as a means to improve writing.29. Why do some people want themselves to be recognized?A. To gain high position. B. To get great power.C. To earn much wealth. D. To learn rich knowledge.30. What is most necessary for journalists according to Paragraph 4?A. Being specialized in a certain field.B. Having a wide range of knowledge.C. Being good at making friends with others.D. Being able to speak a foreign language well.31. What does the text mainly talk about?A. The development of journalism.B. The challenges journalists face now.C. How to become a qualified journalist.D. Why people choose a career in journalism.DA new report connects eating eggs to an increased risk of heart disease. The results follow several earlier studies that found eating eggs was generally healthy. The study collects data from six other earlier studies. It shows a 6 percent increased risk of heart disease when the number of eggs a person ate each day increased by half an egg.Norrina Allen, an associate professor at Northwestern University said that, in the United States, eggs are generally one of the top sources of cholesterol (胆固醇) in a person’s daily food. People with higher levels of cholesterol in their food are at increased risk of the development of heart disease later in life. However, Allen added that she would not say that eggs are completely unhealthy. “I’m not saying that people should take them completely out of their food,” she said. “I’m just suggesting that people eat them in a proper amount.”Some experts believe the new study does not prove that eggs are causing heart disease. “Cholesterol’s role in the development of heart disease has been discussed for more than 30 years,” said Bruemmer, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. “This study does have clear shortcomings, including self-reporting at a single time point,” he added.Bruemmer said, “Eggs in moderation (适度) are probably acceptable from a nutritional standpoint.” “Moderation,” he added, “is less than one egg a day, including eggs in foods such as bread”. Holly Andersen, a doctor at the NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, agrees that the study has “real shortcomings”. One problem Andersen has with the study is that a lot of the egg-eating people in the study also appeared to be eating much meat and processed meat. “If you’re taking a lot of processed meat, it doesn’t matter how many eggs you’re eating,” Andersen said.Also, Andersen said, “The study can only show there is a relation between eggs eating and heart disease. But it cannot prove eggs are the cause of the disease. It may just be that people eating a lot of eggs are also taking a lot of bacon.”32. What does Norrina Allen agree with?A. Eggs are completely unhealthy.B. Eggs contain the most cholesterol.C. Eggs should be eaten in a right amount.D. Eggs have no connection with heart disease.33. What is Bruemmer’s attitude towards the study?A. Interested. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Hopeful.34. What can we learn from Holly Andersen’s words?A. Eggs and meat cannot be eaten together.B. Processed meat may cause heart disease.C. Processed meat should be avoided.D. The study is supported by evidence.35. What’s the best title of the text?A. Do eggs cause heart disease?B. Are eggs the top source of cholesterol?C. What’s the proper amount of eggs eaten?D. Is the cholesterol to blame for heart disease?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。Helping people is the backbone (支柱) of a healthy society. 36 This statement is true and the following are some of the major benefits of assisting other people. 37 Researchers have done lots of work to prove that helping others does have a great effect on a person’s happiness. Even though we usually feel the urge to compete with other people, taking time to assist others can be very beneficial to us. The key to internal joy and happiness is simply helping those in need. Build trust. When people see that you have genuine intentions of assisting them, it is likely they are going to be very grateful. 38 Helping people is also a good way to create and develop trusty relationship, particularly if you never expect anything to be given to you in return. Improve the community. The mentality of helping people is increasing in popularity since more people have realized that we do not need to fight for survival. A rising number of individuals now assist others without asking for anything back. This has resulted in the change in attitude and people are now more giving, more willing and also much readier to offer assistance. 39 Helping other people is important as it helps to connect many people together. 40 The end result is an inspired community in general.A. Increase happiness.B. Improve mental health.C. This improves the whole community and changes the atmosphere.D. It is believed that helping others is basically helping yourself. E. As a result, they see you as a caring person and begin to trust you.F. If you often help others, you will become a more responsible person.G.

It comes from the Old French word “disnar”, 56 in fact means “breakfast”. So 57 did this word come to have a different meaning? 58 (tradition), dinner (what we now refer to as breakfast) was the first meal of the day, eaten around noon. It also happened to be the 59 (big) meal of the day, with a lighter meal coming later 60 (know) as supper.Today many people find 61 strange that the biggest meal of the day once centered around noon, 62 it made great sense at that time. Artificial lighting such as oil lamps and candles were expensive, and provided weak light at best. So people went to sleep at sundown, because it’s difficult 63 (work) and eat in the dark. The last meal of the day was a rushed affair, a quick snack before the lights went out.Eventually, more meals 64 (add) to the day. This meant that people were eating smaller meals before the bigger meal. So the word that once 65 (refer) to our first meal, now refers to our last. However, it is true that in many Western cultures dinner still remains the biggest meal of the day.第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分）第一节 （满分15分）假定你是高三学生李华，你的澳大利亚朋友Lucy发邮件问你未来的职业规划。请你回复邮件，内容包括：1.你的职业规划；2.选择该规划的理由；3.询问对方的意见。注意：1.词数100左右；2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。Dear Lucy,_______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________.................Yours,Li Hua第二节 （满分25分）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。Lungs nearly burst. I struggled to lift my head out of the water. Inch by inch, my tired body reached the end of the pool.The extent of my swimming career was purely recreational, while the competitive swimmers nearby thought nothing of the seemingly simple task of a 500-meter swim test. Pushing myself to finish what I had started, I could only think: why not take the easy way out?Earlier that week, I had turned in my first job application at a local pool. Overqualified, I was hired on the spot. However, the tasks were boring: helping confused visitors and measuring the height of children before they went down the slide (滑梯). I was capable of more.So a swim test was required, establishing the mere fact that I was not completely helpless in a pool. Midway through, the manager administering the test remarked, “This looks really easy for you. Why aren’t you applying to become a guard?”“The thought didn’t cross my mind.”“Well, lifeguarding demands more responsibility, strength and respect. Thus the position pays $ 2 more per hour. Your swimming skills are strong enough. All you need to do is complete a certification class.”Inside I was unsure of myself, but his words inspired me — You never know what you are capable of until you force yourself to do it.Soon I passed the swim test. All left was to practice and learn first aid, CPR (心肺复苏), and procedures for different land-based and water-based emergencies.Work started soon. A well-intentioned yet anxious feeling in me soon passed. Days, weeks, and months went by without incident; emergencies were rare. The skills and training I had so carefully studied and acquired seemed unnecessary.Today appeared to be another uneventful day. However, shortly after the other guards signaled to the children to exit the pool, I noticed one boy was still in the middle while the others had climbed up.注意：1. 续写的词数应为150左右。2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Paragraph 1:“Something must have gone wrong with him,” I thought to myself.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________..............Paragraph 2: Having the boy on the floor, I put my ear to his mouth and my fingers at his neck.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________..............2020—2021 学年高二下学期英语月考卷参考答案第一部分 听力1—5 BCAAC 6—10 CBACB 11—15 CABAA 16—20 BCBCA第二部分 阅读 第一节A篇 21—23 DAD 本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍到南非鲨鱼自然保护区进行的志愿者之旅及其行程安排。21.

D 细节理解题。根据文中的“Take a two-week trip” “The price is £ 829” “Your trip can be extended at a cost of £ 375 per week”可知，两周的旅行费用是829英镑，之后每延长一周，费用增加375英镑。因此三周的旅行费用是1204英镑。故选D。B篇 24—27 BBBA 本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了美国人Robert Fulton，他最初是一位画家，后来致力于研究蒸汽船的应用。24. B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But like Henry Ford, Fulton’s talent lay not in the invention but in the product’s application in the marketplace”可知，Fulton 和 Henry Ford一样，他的天赋不在于发明而在于产品的市场应用，故可推知，Henry Ford的天赋也是产品的应用，故选B。25. B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In 1804, he tested the first submarine successfully, which he had built for the British Royal Navy. His invention would make him a celebrity upon his return to the United States two years later”可知，1804年Robert Fulton 成功测试了第一艘潜水艇，这使得他在两年后一回到美国就成了名人，故他是在1806年成名。26.

B 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“If you’re taking a lot of processed meat, it doesn’t matter how many eggs you’re eating,” Andersen said以及最后一段可知，如果吃了大量加工过的肉类，吃鸡蛋对心脏病的影响就可以忽略不计了，因此，加工过的肉类有可能引起心脏病。故选B。35.

I am glad to receive your e-mail, in which you asked me about my career plan for the future. I am writing to share it with you in details.I made up my mind to be a journalist when I became a student. I choose it as my career based on the following two reasons. First, it is a job that can get me exposed to new things every day and thus keep energetic and passionate all the time. Second, working as a journalist can help realize my childhood dream of being a hero by fighting against evil and spreading justice.That is all about my career plan. What do you think of it? I am looking forward to getting your advice.Yours, Li Hua第二节 读后续写 参考范文：Para 1: “Something must have gone wrong with him,” I thought to myself. Sure enough, with a closer look, I found the boy waving his hands desperately. I quickly dived into the water, swimming towards the boy at full speed. By the time I reached him, he had sunk to the bottom of the pool, which filled my heart with fright and concern. I picked the boy up and headed to the poolside, keeping his head above the water.Para 2: Having the boy on the floor, I put my ear to his mouth and my fingers at his neck. I could tell that he had no heartbeat and wasn’t breathing. Every second counted! Without hesitation, I did first aid, performing CPR as trained. Other guards watching anxiously, I carried on, sweating. Suddenly, a stream of water burst out of his mouth and the boy coughed intensely. Seeing the boy regain consciousness, those around broke into cheers. Exhausted, I sighed with relief. I thought had I accepted that easy position, I would have been nothing but a bystander. I’m happy I didn’t take the easy way out.听力材料Text 1W: I have painted the doors, but I don’t think I can finish painting the ceiling. M: Come on, it’s man’s job. Leave it to me.

He was born in Pennsylvania in 1765. As a young man, he set out to make his name as a portrait painter. His career took him to Europe and into the orbit of people with the power to support him politically and financially.Fulton entered London society after he painted Benjamin Franklin’s portrait. While abroad, Fulton left the arts for a career in shipbuilding. He was interested in the recently-invented steam engine, and thought it could be used to power ships. Fulton’s vision was not original; many others had entered the field, and the unfortunate inventor John Fitch had built a working steamship already. But like Henry Ford, Fulton’s talent lay not in the invention but in the product’s application in the marketplace. Fulton didn’t focus entirely on the steamboat. In 1804, he tested the first submarine successfully, which he had built for the British Royal Navy. His invention would make him a celebrity upon his return to the United States two years later. Fulton’s partner Robert Livingston obtained an exclusive license for steamboat services on New York’s Hudson River. It was time for Fulton to deliver.To build an efficient, reliable steamboat, Fulton used a special English steam engine. The ship’s bottom was flat and its stern was square. The steamboat Clermont made its debut (首次亮相) on August 17, 1807, steaming up the river from New York to Albany, and it soon entered commercial services. The hilly terrain of New York made water transport faster than land transport, and Fulton’s boat — formerly known as the “North River Steamboat” — was a hit. Within five years, Fulton would be running services on six major rivers plus the Chesapeake Bay, and bring in great profits.24. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?A. Henry Ford was as unfortunate as John Fitch.B. Henry Ford was talented in product application.C. Fulton left the arts as he couldn’t support himself.D. Fulton was the first to create a working steamship.25. When did Fulton become a celebrity in the United States?A. In 1804. B. In 1806. C. In 1807. D. In 1812.26. What is mentioned about Clermont?A. It operated for five years.B. It earned Fault much money.C. It had an American steam engine.D. It was not accepted by people at first.27. What’s the best title of the text?A. Robert Fulton and his SteamboatB. Robert Fulton: A Great InventorC. Steamboats Changing Water TransportD. The History of Commercial SteamboatsCJournalists are the major group of people who make their living from writing. Many young people who see themselves as future novelists choose journalism as a way of earning a living while developing their writing skills. Although writing for newspapers and writing for books require different qualities, the aspiration (志向) to be a great writer is not one to be discouraged in a would-be journalist. Most people want their work to be recognized by others. This helps to give it value. Some people also want themselves to be recognized, so that they have status (地位) in the eyes of society. It is not a bad motive to wish to be famous, but this must never become your main reason for being a journalist. You will not be a good journalist if you care more for impressing your audience than for serving their needs.Knowing the power of the printed or spoken word or image, some people enter journalism for the power it will give them to influence people. There is a strong belief that journalists control the mass media but the best journalists recognize their role as servants of the people. There is a difference between the desire to influence events for your own sake, and the desire to do it for other people. You should never use journalism for selfish ends, but you can use it to improve the life of other people.Curiosity is a natural part of most people’s characters and an important ingredient for any journalist. Lots of young men and women enter the profession with the desire to know more about the world without needing to specialize in limited fields of study. Most journalists tend to know a little bit about a lot of things, rather than a lot about one subject. Knowledge has many uses. It can simply help to make you a fuller and more interesting person. It can also give you power over people, especially people who do not have that particular knowledge. Always bear in mind that power can be used in a positive way to improve people’s lives.28. What can we know from the first paragraph?A. Journalists are most likely to become great writers.B. Writing for newspapers is similar to writing for novels.C. Most of the journalists make a living by writing books.D. Journalism can be used as a means to improve writing.29. Why do some people want themselves to be recognized?A. To gain high position. B. To get great power.C. To earn much wealth. D. To learn rich knowledge.30. What is most necessary for journalists according to Paragraph 4?A. Being specialized in a certain field.B. Having a wide range of knowledge.C. Being good at making friends with others.D. Being able to speak a foreign language well.31. What does the text mainly talk about?A. The development of journalism.B. The challenges journalists face now.C. How to become a qualified journalist.D. Why people choose a career in journalism.DA new report connects eating eggs to an increased risk of heart disease. The results follow several earlier studies that found eating eggs was generally healthy. The study collects data from six other earlier studies. It shows a 6 percent increased risk of heart disease when the number of eggs a person ate each day increased by half an egg.Norrina Allen, an associate professor at Northwestern University said that, in the United States, eggs are generally one of the top sources of cholesterol (胆固醇) in a person’s daily food. People with higher levels of cholesterol in their food are at increased risk of the development of heart disease later in life. However, Allen added that she would not say that eggs are completely unhealthy. “I’m not saying that people should take them completely out of their food,” she said. “I’m just suggesting that people eat them in a proper amount.”Some experts believe the new study does not prove that eggs are causing heart disease. “Cholesterol’s role in the development of heart disease has been discussed for more than 30 years,” said Bruemmer, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. “This study does have clear shortcomings, including self-reporting at a single time point,” he added.Bruemmer said, “Eggs in moderation (适度) are probably acceptable from a nutritional standpoint.” “Moderation,” he added, “is less than one egg a day, including eggs in foods such as bread”. Holly Andersen, a doctor at the NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, agrees that the study has “real shortcomings”. One problem Andersen has with the study is that a lot of the egg-eating people in the study also appeared to be eating much meat and processed meat. “If you’re taking a lot of processed meat, it doesn’t matter how many eggs you’re eating,” Andersen said.Also, Andersen said, “The study can only show there is a relation between eggs eating and heart disease. But it cannot prove eggs are the cause of the disease. It may just be that people eating a lot of eggs are also taking a lot of bacon.”32. What does Norrina Allen agree with?A. Eggs are completely unhealthy.B. Eggs contain the most cholesterol.C. Eggs should be eaten in a right amount.D. Eggs have no connection with heart disease.33. What is Bruemmer’s attitude towards the study?A. Interested. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Hopeful.34. What can we learn from Holly Andersen’s words?A. Eggs and meat cannot be eaten together.B. Processed meat may cause heart disease.C. Processed meat should be avoided.D. The study is supported by evidence.35. What’s the best title of the text?A. Do eggs cause heart disease?B. Are eggs the top source of cholesterol?C. What’s the proper amount of eggs eaten?D. Is the cholesterol to blame for heart disease?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。Helping people is the backbone (支柱) of a healthy society. 36 This statement is true and the following are some of the major benefits of assisting other people. 37 Researchers have done lots of work to prove that helping others does have a great effect on a person’s happiness. Even though we usually feel the urge to compete with other people, taking time to assist others can be very beneficial to us. The key to internal joy and happiness is simply helping those in need. Build trust. When people see that you have genuine intentions of assisting them, it is likely they are going to be very grateful. 38 Helping people is also a good way to create and develop trusty relationship, particularly if you never expect anything to be given to you in return. Improve the community. The mentality of helping people is increasing in popularity since more people have realized that we do not need to fight for survival. A rising number of individuals now assist others without asking for anything back. This has resulted in the change in attitude and people are now more giving, more willing and also much readier to offer assistance. 39 Helping other people is important as it helps to connect many people together. 40 The end result is an inspired community in general.A. Increase happiness.B. Improve mental health.C. This improves the whole community and changes the atmosphere.D. It is believed that helping others is basically helping yourself. E. As a result, they see you as a caring person and begin to trust you.F. If you often help others, you will become a more responsible person.G.

It comes from the Old French word “disnar”, 56 in fact means “breakfast”. So 57 did this word come to have a different meaning? 58 (tradition), dinner (what we now refer to as breakfast) was the first meal of the day, eaten around noon. It also happened to be the 59 (big) meal of the day, with a lighter meal coming later 60 (know) as supper.Today many people find 61 strange that the biggest meal of the day once centered around noon, 62 it made great sense at that time. Artificial lighting such as oil lamps and candles were expensive, and provided weak light at best. So people went to sleep at sundown, because it’s difficult 63 (work) and eat in the dark. The last meal of the day was a rushed affair, a quick snack before the lights went out.Eventually, more meals 64 (add) to the day. This meant that people were eating smaller meals before the bigger meal. So the word that once 65 (refer) to our first meal, now refers to our last. However, it is true that in many Western cultures dinner still remains the biggest meal of the day.第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分）第一节 （满分15分）假定你是高三学生李华，你的澳大利亚朋友Lucy发邮件问你未来的职业规划。请你回复邮件，内容包括：1.你的职业规划；2.选择该规划的理由；3.询问对方的意见。注意：1.词数100左右；2.可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。Dear Lucy,_______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________.................Yours,Li Hua第二节 （满分25分）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。Lungs nearly burst. I struggled to lift my head out of the water. Inch by inch, my tired body reached the end of the pool.The extent of my swimming career was purely recreational, while the competitive swimmers nearby thought nothing of the seemingly simple task of a 500-meter swim test. Pushing myself to finish what I had started, I could only think: why not take the easy way out?Earlier that week, I had turned in my first job application at a local pool. Overqualified, I was hired on the spot. However, the tasks were boring: helping confused visitors and measuring the height of children before they went down the slide (滑梯). I was capable of more.So a swim test was required, establishing the mere fact that I was not completely helpless in a pool. Midway through, the manager administering the test remarked, “This looks really easy for you. Why aren’t you applying to become a guard?”“The thought didn’t cross my mind.”“Well, lifeguarding demands more responsibility, strength and respect. Thus the position pays $ 2 more per hour. Your swimming skills are strong enough. All you need to do is complete a certification class.”Inside I was unsure of myself, but his words inspired me — You never know what you are capable of until you force yourself to do it.Soon I passed the swim test. All left was to practice and learn first aid, CPR (心肺复苏), and procedures for different land-based and water-based emergencies.Work started soon. A well-intentioned yet anxious feeling in me soon passed. Days, weeks, and months went by without incident; emergencies were rare. The skills and training I had so carefully studied and acquired seemed unnecessary.Today appeared to be another uneventful day.

D 细节理解题。根据Day 1部分中的“Arrive in Cape Town on a Sunday”和Day 2部分“You will be collected bright and early from the guest house and taken down to the project... head out to sea to witness your first sharks”可知，真正的鲨鱼观赏之旅是在周一。22. A 细节理解题。根据Day 3+部分中的“Most days you will be out on the boat with the sharks”可知，如果天气条件允许的话，第三天可以在海上航行。故选A。23. D 细节理解题。根据文中的“Take a two-week trip” “The price is £ 829” “Your trip can be extended at a cost of £ 375 per week”可知，两周的旅行费用是829英镑，之后每延长一周，费用增加375英镑。因此三周的旅行费用是1204英镑。故选D。B篇 24—27 BBBA 本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了美国人Robert Fulton，他最初是一位画家，后来致力于研究蒸汽船的应用。24. B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But like Henry Ford, Fulton’s talent lay not in the invention but in the product’s application in the marketplace”可知，Fulton 和 Henry Ford一样，他的天赋不在于发明而在于产品的市场应用，故可推知，Henry Ford的天赋也是产品的应用，故选B。25. B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In 1804, he tested the first submarine successfully, which he had built for the British Royal Navy. His invention would make him a celebrity upon his return to the United States two years later”可知，1804年Robert Fulton 成功测试了第一艘潜水艇，这使得他在两年后一回到美国就成了名人，故他是在1806年成名。26. B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Fulton’s boat — formerly known as the ‘North River Steamboat’—was a hit. Within five years, Fulton would be running services on six major rivers plus the Chesapeake Bay, and bring in great profits”可知，Fulton的船受到了人们的欢迎，带来了很大的利润，故选B项。27. A 标题判断题。本文主要讲述了Robert Fulton的经历以及他改良蒸汽船的过程，故A项适合作本文的标题。C篇 28—31 DABD本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍人们选择从事新闻业常见的动机和原因。28. D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Many young people who see themselves as future novelists choose journalism as a way of earning a living while developing their writing skills”可知，许多将来想当作家的年轻人把新闻工作作为一种谋生同时又能锻炼写作技巧的方式，故选D项。29. A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Some people also want themselves to be recognized,so that they have status (地位) in the eyes of society. It is not a bad motive to wish to be famous”可知，他们想出名，想受人尊敬，这样就会有很高的社会地位，故选A项。30. B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的 “Most journalists tend to know a little bit about a lot of things, rather than a lot about one subject”可知，大部分新闻工作者对很多事情都略有所知，而不是精通某一学科，即他们的知识面比较广，故选B项。31. D 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍人们选择从事新闻业常见的动机和原因，即为什么人们选择从事新闻业，故D项正确。D篇 32—35 CBBA本文是一篇议论文。研究认为，吃鸡蛋与得心脏病风险的增加有联系，但是有科学家对此持不同的观点，他们认为相比于肉类，鸡蛋不是引起心脏病的原因。32. C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的 “just suggesting that people eat them in a proper amount”可知，Norrina Allen 并不认为人们不应该吃鸡蛋，而是应该适量吃，故选C项。33. B 观点态度题。根据第三段中的“This study does have clear shortcomings, including self-reporting at a single time point,” he added可知，这项研究有明显的缺点，所以Bruemmer对这个研究持怀疑态度，故选B。34. B 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“If you’re taking a lot of processed meat, it doesn’t matter how many eggs you’re eating,” Andersen said以及最后一段可知，如果吃了大量加工过的肉类，吃鸡蛋对心脏病的影响就可以忽略不计了，因此，加工过的肉类有可能引起心脏病。故选B。35. A 标题判断题。文章在第一段提出，新的研究结果表明，吃鸡蛋与心脏病风险的增加有联系，接下来文章列举了一些科学家的观点，说明了这项研究并不能证明鸡蛋会引起心脏病，因此A项最能概括本文内容，最适合作标题。第二节 36—40 DAECG本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了帮助别人的几个益处。36. D 空前提到帮助别人是一个健康社会的支柱，D项“人们相信帮助别人从根本上说是在帮助你自己”承接上文。37. A 空处是本段的中心句。根据本段内容，尤其是反复提到的“happiness”可知，本段主要说明帮助别人可以增加幸福感，所以选A项。38. E 根据空前内容可知，当人们看到你真诚地帮助他们时，他们可能会感激你。空处承接上文，E项“因此，他们就认为你是个关心他人的人并开始信任你”符合语境。39. C 本段主要说明帮助他人有利于社区，且C项中的“improves the whole community”和本段的中心句“Improve the community”相照应，故选C项。40. G G项中的“come together”和空前的“connect many people together”相照应，故选G项。第三部分 语言运用 第一节41—45 BCADD 46—50 CADCD 51—55 ABCCC本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从不爱读书到热爱读书的变化过程。由此得出一个结论：只要下定决心，你可以做任何你喜欢的事。41.

I am glad to receive your e-mail, in which you asked me about my career plan for the future. I am writing to share it with you in details.I made up my mind to be a journalist when I became a student. I choose it as my career based on the following two reasons. First, it is a job that can get me exposed to new things every day and thus keep energetic and passionate all the time. Second, working as a journalist can help realize my childhood dream of being a hero by fighting against evil and spreading justice.That is all about my career plan. What do you think of it? I am looking forward to getting your advice.Yours, Li Hua第二节 读后续写 参考范文：Para 1: “Something must have gone wrong with him,” I thought to myself. Sure enough, with a closer look, I found the boy waving his hands desperately. I quickly dived into the water, swimming towards the boy at full speed. By the time I reached him, he had sunk to the bottom of the pool, which filled my heart with fright and concern. I picked the boy up and headed to the poolside, keeping his head above the water.Para 2: Having the boy on the floor, I put my ear to his mouth and my fingers at his neck. I could tell that he had no heartbeat and wasn’t breathing. Every second counted! Without hesitation, I did first aid, performing CPR as trained. Other guards watching anxiously, I carried on, sweating. Suddenly, a stream of water burst out of his mouth and the boy coughed intensely. Seeing the boy regain consciousness, those around broke into cheers. Exhausted, I sighed with relief. I thought had I accepted that easy position, I would have been nothing but a bystander. I’m happy I didn’t take the easy way out.听力材料Text 1W: I have painted the doors, but I don’t think I can finish painting the ceiling. M: Come on, it’s man’s job. Leave it to me. Text 2W: My husband and I have been kept here waiting nearly an hour for our meal!M: I am sorry. Our staff have been kept unusually busy now. We have so many guests today. I will see to it personally. Text 3M: When are the other guys going to get here? The train is supposed to leave in fifteen minutes. W: It is 10:40 already. I told them to be here by 10:20. Text 4M: I have to do the washing-up early in the morning. W: Poor you. While you are doing the washing-up, I will be having breakfast in bed. Text 5W: Why don’t you go outside? You’re always sitting inside the house, mostly watching TV. It’s summertime. Go for a bike ride with your friends or play basketball in the park. M: I don’t feel like it. Summer is for being lazy. I work hard all year at school, and all I want to do in the summer is sit around and relax. Text 6W: Hi, Tom. What did you do last Saturday?M: I camped out in the suburbs of Beijing by joining a making-friend group. W: Oh, really? It is so called “Flash Play”?M: Yeah. I had doubt about it before. But now, I think it is a good way to make friends. W: Absolutely. Some of my friends have such experiences. But I prefer to go out by myself. M: Ha ha, you are out. Now it is economic crisis. Everyone wants to save money but also wants to go out for fun. “Flash Play” can keep your money in your pocket. If you are upset, maybe they can make you happy. Text 7M: Oh, the phone is ringing!W: Wait! Let me answer the phone. It must be mine! Hello, this is Betty speaking. Who’s calling? What? Happy Coffee Shop? Wrong number!M: Wow. Why did you speak so rudely and loudly? W: I thought it was a call about the result of my interview. M: Darling. Please stop being so anxious. Didn’t you say that they would inform you in a week? W: It has been two days… M: You need to be patient. They can never decide an important thing like this in a great hurry. Try to calm down. W: Perhaps you are right. I’ll just try to wait peacefully. M: Good. Text 8M: Hi, Jane. Where are you going this summer holiday? W: Nowhere. I’m staying at home to help my mother in the shop. What are you going to do for the holidays, Tom? M: I’m not sure yet. But I’m thinking of going to the beach with my brothers. W: That’ll be nice. How long are you going to stay there? M: Couple of days, I guess. Say, would you like to come along with us? We can go swimming in the sea. W: Thanks, but maybe next time. My mother really needs some help in the shop. Besides, I don’t want to miss my piano lessons. So have fun, and I’ll see you in September. M: Well, see you then. Enjoy your holidays. Text 9W: Gerry, come and look at the information pack for our trip to London. M: There are so many things to do, Penny. I don’t know where to start. W: Well, why don’t we start with the kids? I don’t think Sally would like the zoo. She always feels sorry for the animals, but she’s been asking about the London Eye for weeks, so we have to go there. M: You’re right. What about Billy? He loves boats, so it’s either the Thames or the zoo. W: Definitely the Thames for Billy. What about an opera at Covent Gardens for your parents? M: That would be great. So you don’t want to go shopping in Oxford Street then? W: Which page is that on? Wow! This looks fantastic. There are so many great shops in Oxford Street. Will you come with me? M: I’ll come if you really want me to, dear. Text 10M: Boys and girls, our school is an international language college. As you see, there are a lot of buildings on campus. The college used to have four departments — English, French, German and Russian. But there is now also a Chinese department. At the moment we’re outside your department, the English department, which is the largest department in the college. There are over 750 students in each grade and we have 350 teachers, including 150 professors. These teachers are from different countries, mainly from the USA and Canada, with a few from England and Australia. You’ll have all your classes here in this building and all the professors from Canada are working here, so you can talk with them in your spare time. Now, let’s walk over to the main library, which is the largest building in the college, just next to the English department building. Ah, this is the main library. OK, let’s come to the next building — the dining hall, where you will have your meals every day.
