对于那些热爱旅行的人来说,尤其是火车旅行,1987年的中国是一个不容错过的地方。
【1题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。句意:1987年,中国仍在一些铁路线上运行蒸汽火车,这让许多国家的人感到惊讶。根据结构分析可知,先行项为主句整句,“中国仍在一些铁路线上运行蒸汽火车”,在从句中作主语,用which引导。

考查名词性从句。句意:在中国的旅途中,Connolly发现中国与他在照片中看到的非常不同。分析句子结构可知,此处从句作from的宾语,宾语从句he saw in photographs中谓语动词saw缺少宾语成分,故用what指代“所…的东西”。
【6题详解】
考查副词用法。根据上下文语境,本句与上一句为转折关系,用副词Instead(代替,反而)。
【7题详解】
考查形容词。此处用friendly作表语,意为“友好的”。

这是一篇说明文。介绍了瑞士洛弗尔露营儿童俱乐部的一些相关信息。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段“During the summer months this can include visits to local playgrounds, farms and indoor or outdoor swimming pools”可知,在夏季,这包括游览当地的游乐场、农场和室内或室外游泳池。所以夏天的特别活动是游览农场。故D选项正确。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段“Learning outside the classroom plays a necessary role at Lovell Camps, making children experience the outdoors.”可知,在洛弗尔夏令营,课外学习扮演着重要的角色,让孩子们体验户外活动。所以洛弗尔儿童俱乐部适合于喜欢户外活动的2至5岁的儿童。故B选项正确。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。由Fees do not include: “Ski rentals, round-trip transportation from Kids’ Club to home and medical insurance”可知,滑雪板租金、儿童俱乐部到家的往返交通和医疗保险。所以费用不包括医疗保险,也就是医疗保险这项孩子应该额外付钱。故A选项正确。
B
I can proudly say that last year I broke the record for the oldest person in the world to ride a roller-coaster. I’m 105, but I feel younger. Even the doctor agrees I’m in good condition. I’m a bit deaf and my legs feel weak, but they are the only issue.
I rode the Twistosaurus at Flamingo Land, which spins you round quite fast. I didn’t choose to go on that. I’d have preferred a really fast one that went upside down. But I was told I couldn’t ride something like that, because my blood pressure could drop and I might have some danger.
I wasn’t nervous — I don’t get frightened of anything. I was securely fastened, so I knew I wouldn’t fall out. The roller-coaster ride went on for three or four minutes, and it couldn’t be a better experience. And I raised a lot of money for the Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance fund, which was fantastic.
People were saying I’d got a place in the Guinness World Records. Later, someone came to present me with the certificate. I had it on the wall in my living room, with another one that got a year earlier.
My record-breaking ways really began a couple of years ago, with the ice-bucket challenge. It turned out that I was probably the oldest person in the world to do it, and the video was very popular. After that, I stared to think about what else I could do to raise money for different charities.
I’m not sure if anyone admires all the fun I’m having. They just say I’m daft and that’s about it. But I’ve had many good days and many exciting times. I’ve had a really good life. I don’t think I’ve wasted any of it.
34. Why didn’t the author choose to go on riding the Twistosaurus?
A. Because he was in a bad physical condition.
B. Because he was told not to do so.
C. Because he considered it too gentle.
D. Because he thought it spun too fast.
35. How did the author most probably react while riding the roller-coaster?
A. He really enjoyed himself.
B. He was very worried at first.
C. He couldn’t think much about it.
D. He got frightened as it started moving.
36. What do you know about the author from Paragraph 4?
A. He was the oldest person in the world.
B. He set a record the year before last year.
C. He disliked showing off his success.
D. He was eager to get certificates.
37. What does the underlined word “daft” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. healthy. B. strong.
C. crazy. D. funny.
【答案】34. C 35. A 36. B 37. C
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了作者打破了世界上最年长的人坐过山车的纪录。他希望能够做更多的事情为慈善组织筹集更多的资金。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段“I didn’t choose to go on that. I’d have preferred a really fast one that went upside down.”可知,我没有选择乘坐那个。我更喜欢速度快的上下颠倒的那种过山车。所以判断出为什么作者没有选择坐Twistosaurus的原因是因为他认为它太平缓了。故C选项正确。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段“The roller-coaster ride went on for three or four minutes, and it couldn’t be a better experience.”可知,过山车连续运行了三四分钟,这是在好不过的体验。所以作者坐过山车的时候最可能的反应是他很开心。故A选项正确。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段“Later, someone came to present me with the certificate. I had it on the wall in my living room, with another one that got a year earlier.”可知,后来有人给我颁发了证书。我把它和前年获得的证书一起挂在客厅的墙上。所以判断出作者前年创造了一项纪录。故B选项正确。
【37题详解】
词义猜测题。由最后段“They just say I’m daft and that’s about it. But I’ve had many good days and many exciting times.”可知,他们只是说我愚蠢,仅此而已。但我度过了许多美好的日子和令人兴奋的时光。所以最后一段加下划线的“daft”一词可能是crazy“愚蠢的,荒唐的”的意思。故C选项正确。
C
Abraham Lincoln, a self-taught lawyer, was elected 16th president of the United States in November 1860, shortly before the outbreak of the Civil War. Lincoln proved to be a smart military strategist and a competent leader: His Emancipation Proclamation(解放宣言) paved the way for slavery’s abolition, while his Gettysburg Address stands as one of the most famous speeches in American history. In April 1865, with the Union on the brink of victory, Abraham Lincoln was killed; his untimely death made him a hero to the cause of liberty, and he is widely regarded as one of the greatest presidents in U.S. history.
On January 20, 1981, Reagan took office. Only 69 days later he was shot by a would-be killer, but quickly recovered and returned to duty. His grace and wit during the dangerous incident caused his popularity to soar.
At the end of his two terms in office, Ronald Reagan viewed with satisfaction the achievements of his innovative program known as the Reagan Revolution, which aimed to motivate the American people and reduce their reliance upon Government. He felt he had fulfilled his campaign pledge of 1980 to restore “the great, confident roar of American progress and growth and optimism.”
When George W. Bush, at the age of 54, became the 43rd president of the United States, it was only the second time in American history that a president’s son went on to the White House. John Quincy Adams, elected the sixth president in 1824, was the son of John Adams, the second president. While John Adams had brought up his son to be president, George Bush, the 41st president, insisted he was surprised when the eldest of his six children became interested in politics, became governor of Texas, and then went on to the White House.
Barack Obama served as the 44th President of the United States. His story is the American story — values from the heartland, a middle-class upbringing in a strong family, hard work and education as the means of getting ahead, and the belief that a life so blessed should be lived in service to others.
With a father from Kenya and a mother from Kansas, President Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961. He was raised with help from his grandfather, who served in Patton’s army, and his grandmother, who worked her way up from the secretarial pool to middle management at a bank.
38. Of the four presidents, who is regarded as an excellent public speaker?
A. Abraham Lincoln.
B. Ronald Reagan.
C. George W. Bush.
D. Barack Obama.
39. When Donald Reagan left the White House, he felt that .
A. he regretted having been elected President
B. he still had much to do for the country
C. he had kept his promise to the people
D. he was becoming more popular with the people
40. Which of the following presidents took office first?
A. George W. Bush.
B. John Adams.
C. John Quincy Adams.
D. George Bush.
41. Of the four presidents, who successfully realized his American Dream?
A. Abraham Lincoln.
B. Ronald Reagan.
C. George W. Bush.
D. Barack Obama.
【答案】38. A 39. C 40. B 41. D

D
Boomerang children who return to live with their parents after university can be good for families, leading to closer, more supportive relationships and increased contact between the generations, a study has found.
The findings contradict research published earlier this year showing that returning adult children trigger a significant decline in their parents’ quality of life and wellbeing.
The young adults taking part in the study were “more positive than might have been expected” about moving back home – the shame is reduced as so many of their peers are in the same position, and they acknowledged the benefits of their parents’ financial and emotional support. Daughters were happier than sons, often slipping back easily into teenage patterns of behaviour, the study found.
Parents on the whole were more uncertain, expressing concern about the likely duration of the arrangement and how to manage it. But they acknowledged that things were different for graduates today, who leave university with huge debts and fewer job opportunities.
The families featured in the study were middle-class and tended to view the achievement of adult independence for their children as a “family project”. Parents accepted that their children required support as university students and then as graduates returning home, as they tried to find jobs paying enough to enable them to move out and get on the housing ladder.
“However,” the study says, “day-to-day tensions about the prospects of achieving different dimensions of independence, which in a few extreme cases came close to conflict, characterised the experience of a majority of parents and a little over half the graduates”.
Areas of disagreement included chores, money and social life. While parents were keen to help, they also wanted different relationships from those they had with their own parents, and continuing to support their adult children allowed them to remain close.
42. What is the finding of the previous research?
A. Boomerang children made their parents happier.
B. The parents were looking forward to their children’s return.
C. The parents’ quality of life became worse than before.
D. Boomerang children never did any housework.
43. The underlined word “trigger” in Paragraph 2 may be best replaced by .
A. cause
B. defeat
C. arise
D. allow
44. What is the attitude of the college graduates towards returning home?
A. They are ashamed of turning to their parents for help.
B. They are glad that they could come back.
C. They are doubtful about whether they should return.
D. They are proud to be independent from the family.
45. What can be inferred as the reason for the “boomerang children” phenomenon?
A. The children want to keep in closer touch with their parents.
B. The parents are willing to provide support to their children.
C. It is harder for the children to secure a satisfying job.
D. There is more house work needed to be done by the children.
【答案】42. C 43. A 44. B 45. C
【解析】
【分析】
一项研究发现,“啃老族”子女在大学毕业后回到父母身边生活对家庭是有好处的,他们会与父母建立更亲密、更具支持性的关系,并增进两代人之间的联系。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据The findings contradict research published earlier this year showing that returning adult children trigger a significant decline in their parents’ quality of life and wellbeing.可知,以往的研究显示,返乡的成年子女会导致父母的生活质量和幸福感显著下降。故选C。
【43题详解】
猜测词义题。根据The findings contradict research published earlier this year showing that returning adult children trigger a significant decline in their parents’ quality of life and wellbeing.一句,通过新旧研究的对比,以往的研究表明,返乡的成年子女会导致父母的生活质量和幸福感显著下降。trigger意为“导致,致使”,与cause意义一致,故选A。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据The young adults taking part in the study were more positive than might have been expected about moving back home the shame is reduced as so many of their peers are in the same position, and they acknowledged the benefits of their parents financial and emotional support.可知,大学毕业生对回家的态度是积极的。故选B。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据But they acknowledged that things were different for graduates today, who leave university with huge debts and fewer job opportunities.可知,孩子们很难找到一份满意的工作。故选C。
【点睛】细节理解题大多是根据文章中的具体信息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述等进行提问的。抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键,也是做好其它类型问题的基础。该题型几乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息,或是其变体。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节。做这类题一般采用寻读法,即先读题,然后带着问题快速阅读短文,找出与问题和选项有关的词语或句子,再对相关部分进行分析对比,找出答案。正确选项虽然一般不是原文照搬,但是一般是原文的改写,意思不变。如换一个同义词,把否定改为肯定,把肯定改为否定等。
例如本题第3小题,What is the attitude of the college graduates towards returning home?由题干“the attitude of the college graduates”可以锁定原文第三段,根据The young adults taking part in the study were more positive than might have been expected about moving back home the shame is reduced as so many of their peers are in the same position, and they acknowledged the benefits of their parents financial and emotional support.可知,大学毕业生基于种种原因,如很多同龄人都处于同样的处境,他们承认父母在经济和情感上的支持是有好处的等等,他们对回家的态度是积极的,文中“The young adults…were more positive”更是对应了B选项中的“They are glad”的意思,故选B。而比较其他干扰项,要么将原文内容扩大或缩小,要么偷换概念,要么无中生有或者文不对题等,故可将正确答案顺利选出。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Food feeds the soul. To the extent that we all eat food, and we all have souls, food is the single great united across cultures. With food, there are more opportunities to connect to memory and family and place. ___46___
Food as identity. French, Mexican, Chinese, and Italian cuisines each involve dozens of distinct regional foods. Every single culture and religion uses food as part of their celebrations.
___47___ Every season, every harvest, and every holiday has its own food, and this is true in America as well.

Our Meaningful Work
Last Saturday my classmates and I did some meaningful work as we went to buy books.
That afternoon we rode shared bicycles to Beijing Book Building as planned. Everyone was excited, enjoying the convenience brought about by the shared bicycles. However, something unexpected happened on arrival. We noticed the shared bicycles parked here and there, blocking the way of the passersby. One of my classmates proposed placing them in order, so we got down to work immediately. It took us about twenty minutes to finish the work. Seeing the tidily arranged bicycles, we all felt delighted. We also received high praise for what we had done.
The experience caused my concern about shared bicycles. I think we should put them in place after using them, which not only brings us neat and tidy environment, but also reflects qualities of a good citizen.
