When I was 9, we packed up ur hme in Ls Angeles and arrived at Heathrw, Lndn n a gray January mrning. Everyne in the family settled quickly int the city except me. Withut my belved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a lss and ut f place. Until I made a discvery.
Suthbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center f British skatebarding, where the cntinuus crashing f skatebards left yur head ringing .I lved it. I sn made friends with the lcal skaters. We spke ur wn language. And my favrite: Safe. Safe meant cl. It meant hell. It meant dn’t wrry abut it. Once, when trying a certain trick n the beam(横杆), I fell nt the stnes, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Tby came ver, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their bards lud, shuting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that’s what mattered—landing tricks, being a gd skater.
When I was 15, my family mved t Washingtn. I tried skatebarding there, but the lcals were far less welcming. Within a cuple f years, I’d given it up.
When I returned t Lndn in 2004, I fund myself wandering dwn t Suthbank, spending hurs there. I’ve traveled back several times since, mst recently this past spring. The day was cld but clear: turists and Lndners stpped t watch the skaters. Weaving(穿梭)amng the kids wh rushed by n their bards, I fund my way t the beam. Then a rail—thin teenager, in a baggy white T—shirt, skidded(滑)up t the beam. He sat next t me. He seemed nt t ntice the man next t him. But sn I caught a few f his glances. “I was a lcal here 20 years ag,” I tld him. Then, slwly, he began t nd his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”
“Yeah,” I said. “Safe.”

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者自己的经历，起初搬到伦敦很不适应，但是由于找到了玩滑板的地方，结识了玩滑板的朋友，因此很好的适应了。作者回到伦敦之后，经常去之前玩滑板的地方寻找自己的回忆，在与一个玩滑板的孩子打招呼的时候，终于找到了自己久违的熟悉感。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Everyne in the family settled quickly int the city except me. Withut my belved beaches and endless blue -sky days, I felt at a lss and ut f place.(除了我之外的家里人都很快适应这个城市，没有了我喜爱的沙滩和蓝天，我感到迷茫和无措)”可知，作者刚到伦敦的时候因为没有喜爱的沙滩，不能很好的融入到新的城市，感到很沮丧。故选A。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词前文“A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their bards lud, shuting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!”(几分钟后，当我学会这个技巧时，我的朋友们敲着他们的板子大声喊道：“做得好！做得好！做得好！)”以及后文“And that’s what mattered—landing tricks, being a gd skater. (那才是真正重要的——滑板的落地技巧掌握了才是一名好的滑板玩家)”可知，作者掌握了滑板落地技巧，因此他的朋友大声欢呼，因此可以推出本句的Safe是赞美的含义。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段““I was a lcal here 20 years ag,” I tld him. Then, slwly, he began t nd his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”(我告诉他：“我20年前经常在这里玩滑板，”他缓慢地开始向我点头：“嗨，你好!”)”可推知，作者去Suthbank这个地方是为了寻找自己玩滑板的回忆。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Everyne in the family settled quickly int the city except me. Withut my belved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a lss and ut f place. Until I made a discvery.(除了我之外的家里人都很快适应这个城市，没有了我喜爱的沙滩和蓝天，我感到迷茫和无措。直到我有了一个发现)”以及文章第二段“Suthbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center f British skatebarding, where the cntinuus crashing f skatebards left yur head ringing .I lved it. I sn made friends with the lcal skaters.(泰晤士河东段的南岸，是英国滑板运动的中心，在那里，滑板不断的碰撞声让你的脑袋嗡嗡作响。我喜欢那里。我很快就和当地的滑板手交了朋友)”及文章倒数第二段“When I was 15, my family mved t Washingtn. I tried skatebarding there, but the lcals were far less welcming. Within a cuple f years, I’d given it up.(我15岁时，我全家搬到了华盛顿。我试着在那里玩滑板，但当地人远不那么热情。几年之内，我就放弃了)”以及文章最后一段“When I returned t Lndn in 2004, I fund myself wandering dwn t Suthbank, spending hurs there. I’ve traveled back several times since, mst recently this past spring.(当我2004年回到伦敦时，我发现自己在南岸闲逛，在那里呆了几个小时。从那以后，我已经回去好几次了，最近一次是今年春天)”可知，作者起初搬到伦敦很不适应，但是由于找到了玩滑板的地方，结识了玩滑板的朋友，因此很好的适应了。但是搬去华盛顿，因为没有遇到很好的玩滑板的朋友，几年之后就不再玩滑板，作者回到伦敦之后，经常去之前玩滑板的地方寻找自己的回忆，在于一个孩子打招呼的时候，终于找到了自己久违的回忆。通过作者的经历，作者要表达的是，归属感对于孩子是很重要的。故选C。
C
Researchers say they have translated the meaning f gestures that wild chimpanzees (黑猩猩) use t cmmunicate. They say wild chimps cmmunicate 19 specific messages t ne anther with a “vcabulary” f 66 gestures. The scientists discvered this by fllwing and filming grups f chimps in Uganda, and examining mre than 5,000 incidents f these meaningful exchanges.
Dr Catherine Hbaiter, wh led the research, said that this was the nly frm f intentinal cmmunicatin t be recrded in the animal kingdm. Only humans and chimps, she said, had a system f cmmunicatin where they deliberately sent a message t anther grup member.
“That’s what’s s amazing abut chimp gestures,” she said. “They’re the nly thing that lks like human language in that respect.”
Althugh previus research has shwn that apes and mnkeys can understand cmplex infrmatin frm anther animal’s call, the animals d nt appear t use their vices intentinally t cmmunicate messages. This was a significant difference between calls and gestures, Dr Hbaiter said.
Chimps will check t see if they have the attentin f the animal with which they wish t cmmunicate. In ne case, a mther presents her ft t her crying baby, signaling: “Climb n me.” The yungster immediately jumps n t its mthers back and they travel ff tgether. “The big message frm this study is that there is anther species (物种) ut there. that is meaningful in its cmmunicatin, s that’s nt unique t humans,” said Dr Hbaiter.
Dr Susanne Shultz, an evlutinary bilgist frm the University f Manchester, said the study was praisewrthy in seeking t enrich ur knwledge f the evlutin f human language. But, she added, the results were “a little disappinting”.
“The vagueness f the gesture meanings suggests either that the chimps have little t cmmunicate, r we are still missing a lt f the infrmatin cntained in their gestures and actins,” she said. “Mrever, the meanings seem t nt g beynd what ther animal cnvey with nn-verbal cmmunicatin. S, it seems the gulf remains. ”
8. What d chimps and humans have in cmmn accrding t Dr Hbaiter?
A. Memrizing specific wrds.B. Understanding cmplex infrmatin.
C. Using vices t cmmunicate.D. Cmmunicating messages n purpse.
9. What did Dr Shultz think f the study?
A. It was well designed but prly cnducted.
B. It was a gd try but the findings were limited.
C. It was inspiring but the evidence was unreliable.
D. It was a failure but the methds deserved praise.
10. What des the underlined wrd “gulf” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Difference.B. Cnflict.C. Balance.D. Cnnectin.
11. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. Chimpanzee behaviur study achieved a breakthrugh
B. Chimpanzees develped specific cmmunicatin skills
C. Chimpanzees: the smartest species in the animal kingdm
D. Chimpanzee language: cmmunicatin gestures translated
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家们通过跟踪和拍摄乌干达的黑猩猩群，翻译出了黑猩猩用来交流的手势含义。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Only humans and chimps, she said, had a system f cmmunicatin where they deliberately sent a message t anther grup member.(她说，只有人类和黑猩猩有一个交流系统，它们故意向其他成员发送信息)”可知，根据Dr Hbaiter，黑猩猩和人类的共同点在于故意传递信息。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Dr Susanne Shultz, an evlutinary bilgist frm the University f Manchester, said the study was praisewrthy in seeking t enrich ur knwledge f the evlutin f human language. But, she added, the results were a little disappinting.(曼彻斯特大学的进化生物学家苏珊娜·舒尔茨博士说，这项研究是值得称赞的，它试图丰富我们对人类语言进化的知识。但是，她补充说，结果有点令人失望)”可知，这项研究是一个好的尝试，但是发现的结果是有限的。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。首先根据第三段中的“They’re the nly thing that lks like human language in that respect.(在这方面，它们是唯一看起来像人类语言的东西)”可知，黑猩猩的手势交流很像我们人类语言的交流方式。但是根据最后一段中的“Mrever, the meanings seem t nt g beynd what ther animals cnvey with nn-verbal cmmunicatins.(此外，这些含义似乎并不超越其他动物通过非语言交流所传达的信息)”可知，黑猩猩手势的交流方式还是和我们语言的交流方式存在不同的，也就是“S, it seems the gulf remains.(所以，看来差异依然存在)”。由此可知，划线词gulf与difference意思接近。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Researchers say they have translated the meaning f gestures that wild chimpanzees use t cmmunicate.(研究人员表示，他们已经翻译出了野生黑猩猩用来交流的手势的含义)”以及文章对这方面的讨论可知，文章主要讲科学家们对黑猩猩手势的研究及一些成果。由此可知，D项Chimpanzee language: cmmunicatin gestures translated(黑猩猩语言：翻译出来的交流手势)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。
D
After years f bserving human nature, I have decided that tw qualities make the difference between men f great achievement and men f average perfrmance curisity and discntent. I have never knwn an utstanding man wh lacked either. And I have never knwn an average man wh had bth. The tw belng tgether.
Tgether, these deep human urges（驱策力）cunt fr much mre than ambitin. Galile was nt merely ambitius when he drpped bjects f varying weights frm the Leaning Twer at Pisa and timed their fall t the grund. Like Galile, all the great names in histry were curius and asked in discntent, "Why? Why? Why?"
Frtunately, curisity and discntent dn't have t be learned. We are brn with them and need nly recapture them.
"The great man," said Mencius（孟子）, "is he wh des nt lse his child's heart. " Yet mst f us d lse it. We stp asking questins. We stp challenging custm. We just fllw the crwd. And the crwd desires restful average. It encurages us t ccupy ur wn little crner, t avid flish leaps int the dark, t be satisfied.
Mst f us meet new peple, and new ideas, with hesitatin. But nce having met and liked them, we think hw terrible it wuld have been, had we missed the chance. We will prbably have t frce urselves t waken ur curisity and discntent and keep them awake.
Hw shuld yu start? Mdestly, s as nt t becme discuraged. I think f ne friend wh culdn't arrange flwers t satisfy herself. She was curius abut hw the experts did it. Hw she is ne f the experts, writing bks n flwer arrangement.
One way t begin is t answer yur wn excuses. Yu haven't any special ability? Mst peple dn't; there are nly a few geniuses. Yu haven't any time? That's gd, because it's always the peple with n time wh get things dne. Harriet Stwe, mther f six, wrte parts f Uncle Tm's Cabin while cking. Yu're t ld? Remember that Thmas Cstain was 57 when he published his first nvel, and that Grandma Mses shwed her first pictures when she was 78.
Hwever yu start, remember there is n better time t start than right nw, fr yu'll never be mre alive than yu are at this mment.
12. In writing Paragraph 1, the authr aims t ________.
A. prpse a definitinB. make a cmparisn
C. reach a cnclusinD. present an argument
13. What des the example f Galile tell us?
A. Trial and errr leads t the finding f truth.
B. Scientists tend t be curius and ambitius.
C. Creativity results frm challenging authrity.
D. Greatness cmes frm a lasting desire t explre.
14. What can yu d t recapture curisity and discntent?
A. Observe the unknwn arund yu.
B. Develp a questining mind.
C. Lead a life f adventure.
D. Fllw the fashin.
15. What culd be the best title f the passage?
A. Curius Minds Never Feel Cntented
B. Reflectins n Human Nature
C. The Keys t Achievement
D Never T Late t Learn
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了获得成就的两个关键因素——好奇心和不满足。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“After years f bserving human nature, I have decided that tw qualities make the difference between men f great achievement and men f average perfrmance curisity and discntent. I have never knwn an utstanding man wh lacked either. And I have never knwn an average man wh had bth. The tw belng tgether.(经过多年对人性的观察，我认为有两个品质决定了成就非凡的人和平庸的人的区别好奇心和不满足。据我所知，任何一个杰出的人都缺乏这两点。我从来没见过一个普通人同时拥有这两种能力。他们俩是天生一对) ”可知，作者经过多年对人性的观察，认为成就非凡的人和平庸的人的区别在于好奇心和不满足，而且两者是相辅相成的。因此，作者写第一段的目的是提出一个论点。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Like Galile, all the great names in histry were curius and asked in discntent, ‘Why? Why? Why?’(像伽利略一样，历史上所有的伟人都感到好奇，并不满地问：“为什么？为什么？为什么？”) ”可推断，伽利略的例子告诉我们，伟大来自于持久的探索欲望。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Like Galile, all the great names in histry were curius and asked in discntent, ‘Why? Why? Why?’(像伽利略一样，历史上所有的伟人都感到好奇，并不满地问：“为什么？为什么？为什么？”) ”；以及第四段中的“‘The great man,’ said Mencius (孟子), ‘is he wh des nt lse his child's heart.’ Yet mst f us d lse it. We stp asking questins. We stp challenging custm. We just fllw the crwd.(孟子认为“不失去孩子的心，就是伟大的人。”然而，我们大多数人确实失去了它。我们不再问问题。我们不再挑战习俗。我们只是随大流) ”可知，你可以通过培养了一个善于提问的头脑，来重新获得好奇心和不满足。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“After years f bserving human nature, I have decided that tw qualities make the difference between men f great achievement and men f average perfrmance curisity and discntent. I have never knwn an utstanding man wh lacked either. And I have never knwn an average man wh had bth. The tw belng tgether. (经过多年对人性的观察，我认为有两个品质决定了成就非凡的人和平庸的人的区别好奇心和不满。据我所知，任何一个杰出的人都缺乏这两点。我从来没见过一个普通人同时拥有这两种能力。他们俩是天生一对) ”及下文论述可知，本文主要论述了获得成就的两个关键因素——好奇心和不满足。所以“The Keys t Achievement(成就的关键)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。

上文“Paul Magalhaes, a 34-year-ld Prtuguese cmputer engineer, lves t pen his mailbx and find a brightly clred picture f Rme’s Clsseum. Or Africa’s Victria Falls. Or China’s Great Wall.(34岁的葡萄牙电脑工程师Paul Magalhaes喜欢打开他的邮箱，然后发现一个色彩鲜艳的罗马斗牛场图像。或者非洲的维多利亚瀑布。或者是中国的长城)”介绍了Paul喜欢明信片的个人爱好；下文描述Paul与家人朋友寄明信片的经历；G选项“In shrt, he lves pstcards, and the excitement f getting a scribbled nte frm smene far away.(简而言之，他喜欢明信片，也喜欢收到远方某人潦草的便条时的那种兴奋)”起到承上启下的作用。故选G项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了中国女篮在国际篮联女篮世界杯获得亚军，并因在与美国队的金牌之战中表现出的体育精神，而获得了中国网民的尊重和鼓励。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：周六，中国女子篮球队在国际篮联女子篮球世界杯与美国队的金牌比赛中表现出的体育精神赢得了中国网友的尊重和鼓励，最终获得第二名。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词wn，所以display应该用非谓语动词，逻辑主语sprtsmanship和display之间是被动关系，此处应该用过去分词表被动。故填displayed。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意：对于一个平均年龄不到26岁的球队来说，这是一个重大的成就。分析句子结构可知，空前是形容词significant，所以空处应填名词，achieve的名词形式是achievement，为可数名词，再根据空前的a，可知应该用单数形式。故填achievement。
【38题详解】
考查动词。句意：唯一的失败是在小组赛中以77比63不敌美国队。分析句子结构可知，本句是that引导的表语从句，从句中缺少谓语，所以lse做谓语动词，和主语it之间是主动关系，主句用的是一般过去时，所以此处也用一般过去时。故填lst。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在面对卫冕冠军、世界排名第一的美国队时，中国球员表现出了战斗到最后的强烈愿望。分析句子结构可知，本句是when引导的时间状语从句，从句的主语是the Chinese players，时态应该过去进行时，当状语从句中主语和主句一样，且谓语动词是be动词时，主语和be动词可省略。故填facing。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在面对卫冕冠军、世界排名第一的美国队时，中国球员表现出了战斗到最后的强烈愿望。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词shwed，所以fight应做非谓语动词，此处考查的是固定搭配：desire t d意为“表做……的欲望”，不定式作后置定语。故填t fight。
【41题详解】
考查状语从句连接词。句意：虽然中国选手未能在决赛中创造奇迹，但他们的进步绝对值得骄傲。分析句子结构，根据句意可知，前后两句是转折关系，空处引导的是让步状语从句，应是althugh/thugh/while意为“虽然，尽管”，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填Althugh/Thugh/While。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：虽然中国选手未能在决赛中创造奇迹，但他们的进步绝对值得骄傲。分析句子结构，空处修饰空后的形容词wrth，所以应该用副词修饰，definite的副词形式是definitely。故填definitely。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意：连续第四次获得国际篮联世界杯冠军的美国队教练谢丽尔·里夫(Cheryl Reeve)说，她看到了中国对手的成长。分析句子结构可知，空处引导的是非限制性定语从句，先行词是Cheryl Reeve，指人，在从句中做主语，用wh引导。故填wh。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意：连续第四次获得国际篮联世界杯冠军的美国队教练谢丽尔·里夫(Cheryl Reeve)说，她看到了中国对手的成长。分析句子结构可知，此处考查固定搭配：in a rw意为“接连不断地”。故填a。
