I found the people to be really friendly,and most Germans speak very good English,which made life easy for me.I was surprised by the casual attitude to alcohol in Germany,where it seems normal for people to drink beer on the street or on the tram.My girlfriend and I visited two famous local cities.Dusseldorf and Cologne,which are both on the Rhine River.Dusseldorf is an urban metropolis (大都市) with a great variety of restaurants.We took a boat tour on the river and went up the Rhine tower,a really tall building which offers great views across the city.Cologne,as you might know,is world famous for its perfumes.The cathedral(大教堂) there is an unmissable landmark.We made the effort to climb to the top of one of the cathedrals’ tower.The spiral(螺旋的) stairs seemed endless,but it was worthwhile for the impressive sights from the top.
We also went in a cable car over the river and tasted a German delicacy called “Spaghettieis” which is ice cream with strawberry sauce!I also got to try the famous German sausage.I must admit,I really enjoyed the food!The only disappointment was the grey and rainy weather,which proves that Britain does not have the worst weather in Europe!

American Indians have lived in the area for around 3,000 years.Spanish explorers (探险家) first discovered the area in 1540.Later,other Spanish explorers returned in 1776.39.

37.D 本题考查学生理解篇章段内句间衔接关系的能力。设空处前文“Over millions of years,the Colorado River cut through rocks”解释了大峡谷形成的原因是由于科罗拉多河切断了岩石。D 项中的“河流让路越来越深”串联上文。故选D项。
38.E 本题考查学生理解篇章段内句间衔接关系的能力。根据前文“The Grand Canyon is home to different kinds of plants and animals.”可知,大峡谷是很多种动植物的生长地。E 选项中的“区域内有超过1,700种知名植物”与上文呼应。故选E项。

40.F 本题考查学生理解篇章段内句间衔接关系的能力。根据空后“About five million tourists visit the park each year.”可知,每年有大约五百万人去公园旅行。F选项介绍大峡谷是美国大峡谷国家公园的一部分。设空处后文的 the park 指的是F项中的“the Grand Canyon National Park”。故选F项。

语篇导读:这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了外国人Simon Wakefield云南之行的所见所感。阅读本文,有利于学生了解外国人眼中的中国,培养学生的跨文化交际意识。
答案及剖析:
56.varied 本题考查形容词。此处为“how+形容词+主谓”形式的感叹句,此处需要填形容词,表示“多姿多彩的”,应用形容词varied,侧重多样性。
57.covered 本题考查独立主格结构。两分句间无连词,因此此处为独立主格结构,its peak与cover构成逻辑上的动宾关系,故用过去分词形式表被动。
58.which 本题考查定语从句。此处为“介词+关系代词”结构定语从句,修饰先行词maze,作介词in的宾语,指物,应用关系代词which。
59.who/that 本题考查强调句。分析句子结构可知此处为强调句结构“it is/was+被强调部分+that/who+其他部分”,此处被强调部分为the women。
60.in 本题考查介词。表示“在使用中”用短语in use。
61.particularly 本题考查副词。修饰后文形容词famous应用副词particularly,作状语。
62.a 本题考查冠词。表示具体的表演,performance是可数名词,此处表泛指“一场表演”,应用不定冠词,且performance是发音以辅音音素开头的单词,故用a。
63.was played 本题考查动词时态语态及主谓一致。根据上文went可知应用一般过去时,且定语从句中主语与谓语动词构成被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态。从句中谓语动词的数与先行词performance保持一致,应用单数。
64.diversity 本题考查名词。此处为强调句,强调的是主语,用名词diversity,表示抽象意义,不可数。故填diversity。
65.to be 本题考查不定式。句意:无论人们最初看起来是怎样的不同,我们都是一样的,都是平等的。appear后跟动词不定式,appear to do表示“好像……”。

Within moments,the northern lights were travelling at a high speed, 3 wildly across the dark sky.They shot left and then right,speaking a 4 language of their own.Soon our entire group—some wore only boots and cotton bathrobes—were lost in the light of the night.To my great 5 and excitement,I imagined my late mother.Her image “entered into” the flying lights,“speaking”to me.And I felt as though I were with her.
Alas the 6 came to an end.I’d made new friends and seen the northern lights.But I also saw my only 7 on finding light on the outside,on seeing Aurora,had nearly 8 me to the other lights.There was so much of it in my friends,my fellow travellers—even in 9 .In fact,it was only 10 I’d let go of my expectations that Aurora appeared.I understood maybe the power of my mother’s love had 11 me to see the dance of green light in the sky.

W:Can you spell that,please?
M:What,America?

I’ve been really lucky this year.Not only did I have the opportunity to live in France,but I was able to see some other countries with my girlfriend.Now she is studying in Essen,a large city in Western Germany.I recently went to stay with her—it was my first visit to Germany!Essen is a very large city.It has all the conveniences of any large city so I felt immediately at home.I love the variety of shops,restaurants,shopping malls,cocktail bars,nightclubs,parks and even a lake.There is also a city-wide network of trams(有轨电车),which makes getting around a piece of cake!
I found the people to be really friendly,and most Germans speak very good English,which made life easy for me.I was surprised by the casual attitude to alcohol in Germany,where it seems normal for people to drink beer on the street or on the tram.My girlfriend and I visited two famous local cities.Dusseldorf and Cologne,which are both on the Rhine River.Dusseldorf is an urban metropolis (大都市) with a great variety of restaurants.We took a boat tour on the river and went up the Rhine tower,a really tall building which offers great views across the city.Cologne,as you might know,is world famous for its perfumes.The cathedral(大教堂) there is an unmissable landmark.We made the effort to climb to the top of one of the cathedrals’ tower.The spiral(螺旋的) stairs seemed endless,but it was worthwhile for the impressive sights from the top.
We also went in a cable car over the river and tasted a German delicacy called “Spaghettieis” which is ice cream with strawberry sauce!I also got to try the famous German sausage.I must admit,I really enjoyed the food!The only disappointment was the grey and rainy weather,which proves that Britain does not have the worst weather in Europe!

A.He will have a chance to live in Germany.
B.He met his girlfriend in France by chance.
C.He got an opportunity of learning in Germany.

A.They are both famous for unique perfumes.
B.They both serve traditional German sausage.
C.They both have many towers with a long history.
D.They both offer wonderful views from the tower top.
34.According to the writer,which country has the “worst” weather in Europe?
A.Britain. B.Italy.
C.Germany. D.France.
35.What can be the best title of the passage?
A.My First Visit to Germany
B.A Brief Introduction to Germany
C.A Guide to Germany
D.An Unforgettable Trip

38.E 本题考查学生理解篇章段内句间衔接关系的能力。根据前文“The Grand Canyon is home to different kinds of plants and animals.”可知,大峡谷是很多种动植物的生长地。E 选项中的“区域内有超过1,700种知名植物”与上文呼应。故选E项。
39.G 本题考查学生理解篇章段内句间衔接关系的能力。本段是对大峡谷历史文化的介绍。由该空前的 “Spanish explorers(探险家) first discovered the area in 1540.Later,other Spanish explorers returned in 1776.”可知,西班牙探险家1540年首先发现了该地区,另一些西班牙探险家1776年回到了该地区。G 项承接上文,说明了西班牙探险家的情况并解释了他们没有停留在此的原因是发现峡谷无法穿越。G 项中的 they 对应前文的“Spanish explorers”。故选G项。
40.F 本题考查学生理解篇章段内句间衔接关系的能力。根据空后“About five million tourists visit the park each year.”可知,每年有大约五百万人去公园旅行。F选项介绍大峡谷是美国大峡谷国家公园的一部分。设空处后文的 the park 指的是F项中的“the Grand Canyon National Park”。故选F项。

语篇导读:这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了外国人Simon Wakefield云南之行的所见所感。阅读本文,有利于学生了解外国人眼中的中国,培养学生的跨文化交际意识。
答案及剖析:
56.varied 本题考查形容词。此处为“how+形容词+主谓”形式的感叹句,此处需要填形容词,表示“多姿多彩的”,应用形容词varied,侧重多样性。
57.covered 本题考查独立主格结构。两分句间无连词,因此此处为独立主格结构,its peak与cover构成逻辑上的动宾关系,故用过去分词形式表被动。
58.which 本题考查定语从句。此处为“介词+关系代词”结构定语从句,修饰先行词maze,作介词in的宾语,指物,应用关系代词which。
59.who/that 本题考查强调句。分析句子结构可知此处为强调句结构“it is/was+被强调部分+that/who+其他部分”,此处被强调部分为the women。
60.in 本题考查介词。表示“在使用中”用短语in use。
61.particularly 本题考查副词。修饰后文形容词famous应用副词particularly,作状语。
62.a 本题考查冠词。表示具体的表演,performance是可数名词,此处表泛指“一场表演”,应用不定冠词,且performance是发音以辅音音素开头的单词,故用a。
63.was played 本题考查动词时态语态及主谓一致。根据上文went可知应用一般过去时,且定语从句中主语与谓语动词构成被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态。从句中谓语动词的数与先行词performance保持一致,应用单数。
64.diversity 本题考查名词。此处为强调句,强调的是主语,用名词diversity,表示抽象意义,不可数。故填diversity。
65.to be 本题考查不定式。句意:无论人们最初看起来是怎样的不同,我们都是一样的,都是平等的。appear后跟动词不定式,appear to do表示“好像……”。
