“Don’t answer it,” I said to Sam. Our door in the inner city is constantly knocked on; our previous door in the suburbs rarely so. Sam has a full-time job and cannot spend his days answering requests to fix leaking baths or carry cash to the bank.
Sam opened the door and it was Mervin.
“There’s a bird on the second floor,” he said. “It’s in trouble.”
Sam followed Mervin upstairs. Mervin pointed and turned to let Sam look. It was a pigeon, the most common of all birds, the bird most likely to foul (弄脏) your newly washed car. And
it wasn’t flying away. It was stamping in circles. As Sam bent to look, Mervin coughed, “Number two.”
Sam asked him to repeat that. “Number two,” Mervin said. "The pigeon has been sitting in his own number two, and now it’s stuck to his foot.”
It had rained for five days, and the bird was young. It could have been sheltering in a wet nest of its own waste, which had then dried on its foot, preventing it from flying away. The pigeon moved in a few more circles. Sam bent to take another look. Mervin said, “All right, then.” and walked away.
“Why does everyone think you must solve the problems around here?” I said to Sam when he returned with his story. “It’s a bird. Just leave it on the stairs, and let nature take its course.” Sam didn’t agree. Then he went to the garage and emptied the cardboard box containing our imported camping mats. He returned with the gray pigeon in the box. He showed the bird to our children and they decided to keep it.
They put its foot in the warm water bath and got rid of its waste. Immediately the pigeon erupted in a bomb of feathers and began flying.
4. How did the author feel about the knocks?
A. She felt bored. B. She was frightened.
C. She got excited. D. She was surprised.
5. Why was the pigeon moving in circles?
A. It was learning to fly.
B. It was badly injured.
C. It got caught in the rain.

D. Make a nest for the bird.

The Taj Mahal, in Agra, India, is one of the most brilliant structures on Earth. It is nearly 400 years old. Emperor Shah Jahan had it built in memory of his wife. It took about 20 years to build the monument. Some 20,000 workers and 1,000 elephants helped get the job done. Today, the Taj Mahal is not just a symbol of cultural history. It’s also India’s most famous tourist attraction. About 8 million people visit it each year.
But pollution is turning the white marble monument shades of green, yellow, and brown. The Taj Mahal stands on the polluted Yamuna River. Insects are attracted to the dirty water. They leave greenish droppings on the building. Air pollution is also a big threat. Factories and cars release pollution into the air. It sticks to the Taj Mahal’s suidEace. In the 1990s, India’s Supreme Court ordered hundreds of factories near the monument to close. Also, car and bus traffic was restricted. From time to time, workers clean the Taj Mahal. But doing so is difficult, expensive, and time-consuming; And it doesn’t prevent the discoloration.
On July 11, India’s Supreme Court gave the city of Agra a warning: “Either you destroy the Taj Mahal or you restore it”. Authorities in the city submitted a draft of an action plan on July 24. It suggests banning plastics and construction from the area. It also calls for the closing of more factories.
“In order to preserve the Taj Mahal, people must come together to work toward a solution. There needs to be positive pressure on people to act. We need to act immediately,” Sachchida Tripathi says. He worked on a 2014 study of pollution at the Taj Mahal. “We are trying,” he adds, “but we need to try more.”
8. Why did Emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal?
A. To attract tourists. B. To honour his wife.
C. To represent India. D. To mark his greatness.
9. What can we infer about the Taj Mahal from the second paragraph?

C. Make a new plan. D. Prevent the discoloration.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?

During the period from 1660 through 1800, Great Britain became the world’s leader. Language itself became submitted to rules during this period. This need to fix the English language is best illustrated (描述) in the making of The Dictionary of the English Language by Samuel Johnson. Guides to the English language had been in existence before Johnson began his project in 1746. These, however, were often little more than lists of hard words. When definitions of common words were supplied, they were often unhelpful. For example, a “horse” was defined in an early dictionary as “a beast well known”.
Johnson changed all that, but the task was not an easy one. Renting a house at 17 Gough Square, Johnson began working in the worst of conditions. Supported only by his publisher, Johnson worked on the Dictionary with five assistants. Compared to the French Academy’s dictionary, which took forty workers fifty-five years to complete (1639-1694), Johnson’s dictionary was completed by very few people very quickly.
Balanced on a chair with only three legs, Johnson sat against a wall in a room filled with books. Johnson would read widely from these books, mark passages illustrating the use of a particular word, and give the books to his assistants so that they could copy the passages on slips of paper. These slips were then stuck to eighty large notebooks under the key words that Johnson had selected. Fixing the word by this method, Johnson could record a word，s usage and its definition.
How many passages were used? According to Johnson’s modern biographer Walter Jackson Bate, the original total number could have been over 240,000. How many words were defined by the lexicographer? Over 40,000 words appeared in two large books in April of 1755. Did Johnson fully understand the huge task he was undertaking when he began? As he told his contemporary biographer James Boswell, “I knew very well what I was undertaking and very well how to do it — and have done it very well.”
12. What is the problem of early English dictionaries?
A. They only offer simple pictures.
B. They list just a few foreign words.
C. They simply give some translations.
D. They add no more than some big words.
13. What does the underlined word “lexicographer” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. A publisher. B. A biographer.
C. A maker of dictionaries. D. An assistant.
14. What can we infer about Samuel Johnson from the text?
A. He standardized English.
B. He cared about authority a lot
C. He gained much financial support.
D. He complained of working conditions.
15. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To discuss the problems of dictionaries.
B. To encourage people to work on a project.
C. To persuade people to buy the new dictionary.
D. To introduce how Johnson complete his dictionary.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
本文是一篇文化类短文阅读。文章主要是告诉读者Samuel Johnson编纂英国词典的故事。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中These, however, were often little more than lists of hard words可知，早期英语词典的问题是只是增加了一些难词。故选D。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段How many words were defined by the lexicographer?中的关键词defined（定义）及联系前后句，可以猜测出这里lexicographer指的是词典编纂者。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段This need to fix the English language is best illustrated (描述) in the making of The Dictionary of the English Language by Samuel Johnson.及最后一段Samuel Johnson为词典编纂所作的努力可以推断出，Samuel Johnson使得英语标准化。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。阅读全文可知，文章主要介绍了Samuel Johnson在恶劣的条件下如何编纂词典的。所以本文主要是告诉读者Johnson编纂词典的故事，故选D。

本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者到杂货店买罐子自己做浴盐作为节日礼物送给朋友，也给售货员送了一份，售货员很高兴，给作者一个拥抱。
【详解】第一处：考查非谓语动词。句中逻辑主语I与buy之间为主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。句意：12月10日，我在一家杂货店买罐头瓶做一个项目。故将buy改为buying。
第二处：考查时态。根据全文可知，这里用一般过去时。句意：售货员问我打算用这些罐子做什么。故将ask改为asked。
第三处：考查非谓语动词或介词。名词plan 后接to为不定式，后接动词原形；或者名词plan后接介词for，后接v-ing形式。句意：我告诉她我打算给朋友们做浴盐作为节日礼物。故将to改为for或者将making改为make。
第四处：考查形容词。主语为She，指代人，故用形容词interested，表示“感兴趣的”。句意：她很感兴趣。故将interesting改为interested。
第五处：考查动词用法。动词let用法为let sb. do sth.让某人做某事。句意：让我告诉她结果如何。故将to去掉。
第六处：考查名词数。名词day为可数名词，根据a few修饰可知，用复数形式。句意：圣诞节前几天，我给她带来了一个装满我做的浴盐的礼物罐。故将day改为days。
第七处：考查代词。根据上文可知，售货员为女性，故用代词her。句意：圣诞节前几天，我给她带来了一个装满我做的浴盐的礼物罐。故将him改为her。
第八处：考查固定句型。本题考查so … that …如此 …… 以至于…… 。句意：她是如此的惊讶和高兴，她给了我一个拥抱。故将very改为so。
第九处：考查冠词。短语give sb. a hug给某人拥抱。句意：她是如此的惊讶和高兴，她给了我一个拥抱。故在hug前加a。
第十处：考查副词。修饰动词，前用副词形式。句意：小小的善举就能产生很大的影响。故将real改为really。

“Don’t answer it,” I said to Sam. Our door in the inner city is constantly knocked on; our previous door in the suburbs rarely so. Sam has a full-time job and cannot spend his days answering requests to fix leaking baths or carry cash to the bank.
Sam opened the door and it was Mervin.
“There’s a bird on the second floor,” he said. “It’s in trouble.”
Sam followed Mervin upstairs. Mervin pointed and turned to let Sam look. It was a pigeon, the most common of all birds, the bird most likely to foul (弄脏) your newly washed car. And
it wasn’t flying away. It was stamping in circles. As Sam bent to look, Mervin coughed, “Number two.”
Sam asked him to repeat that. “Number two,” Mervin said. "The pigeon has been sitting in his own number two, and now it’s stuck to his foot.”
It had rained for five days, and the bird was young. It could have been sheltering in a wet nest of its own waste, which had then dried on its foot, preventing it from flying away. The pigeon moved in a few more circles. Sam bent to take another look. Mervin said, “All right, then.” and walked away.
“Why does everyone think you must solve the problems around here?” I said to Sam when he returned with his story. “It’s a bird. Just leave it on the stairs, and let nature take its course.” Sam didn’t agree. Then he went to the garage and emptied the cardboard box containing our imported camping mats. He returned with the gray pigeon in the box. He showed the bird to our children and they decided to keep it.
They put its foot in the warm water bath and got rid of its waste. Immediately the pigeon erupted in a bomb of feathers and began flying.
4. How did the author feel about the knocks?
A. She felt bored. B. She was frightened.
C. She got excited. D. She was surprised.
5. Why was the pigeon moving in circles?
A. It was learning to fly.
B. It was badly injured.
C. It got caught in the rain.
D. It was trapped by its waste.
6. What did Sam use the cardboard box to do?
A. Shelter from rain.
B. Give it to Mervin.
C. Wash camping mats.
D. Make a nest for the bird.
7. What can we learn about Sam from the text?
A. He was brave. B. He was clever.
C. He was warm-hearted. D. He was easy-going.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. C
【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Sam如何救助一只鸽子。
【4题详解】

【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第六段It could have been sheltering in a wet nest of its own waste, which had then dried on its foot, preventing it from flying away可知，鸽子栖身在自己粪便的湿窝里，其粪便在脚上晾干了，阻止它飞走。所以它是被自己的粪便困住了。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第八段Then he went to the garage and emptied the cardboard box containing our imported camping mats. He returned with the gray pigeon in the box. He showed the bird to our children and they decided to keep it可知，他把纸板箱倒空并用纸箱把鸽子带回来养，所以推断出Sam用纸板箱做鸟巢。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。全文介绍了Sam如何救助一只鸽子，由此可以推断出Sam很有爱心。故选C。

The Taj Mahal, in Agra, India, is one of the most brilliant structures on Earth. It is nearly 400 years old. Emperor Shah Jahan had it built in memory of his wife. It took about 20 years to build the monument. Some 20,000 workers and 1,000 elephants helped get the job done. Today, the Taj Mahal is not just a symbol of cultural history. It’s also India’s most famous tourist attraction. About 8 million people visit it each year.
But pollution is turning the white marble monument shades of green, yellow, and brown. The Taj Mahal stands on the polluted Yamuna River. Insects are attracted to the dirty water. They leave greenish droppings on the building. Air pollution is also a big threat. Factories and cars release pollution into the air. It sticks to the Taj Mahal’s suidEace. In the 1990s, India’s Supreme Court ordered hundreds of factories near the monument to close. Also, car and bus traffic was restricted. From time to time, workers clean the Taj Mahal. But doing so is difficult, expensive, and time-consuming; And it doesn’t prevent the discoloration.
On July 11, India’s Supreme Court gave the city of Agra a warning: “Either you destroy the Taj Mahal or you restore it”. Authorities in the city submitted a draft of an action plan on July 24. It suggests banning plastics and construction from the area. It also calls for the closing of more factories.
“In order to preserve the Taj Mahal, people must come together to work toward a solution. There needs to be positive pressure on people to act. We need to act immediately,” Sachchida Tripathi says. He worked on a 2014 study of pollution at the Taj Mahal. “We are trying,” he adds, “but we need to try more.”
8. Why did Emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal?
A. To attract tourists. B. To honour his wife.
C. To represent India. D. To mark his greatness.
9. What can we infer about the Taj Mahal from the second paragraph?

C. It attracts insects. D. It is losing tourists.

A. Close factories. B. Become united.
C. Make a new plan. D. Prevent the discoloration.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?

During the period from 1660 through 1800, Great Britain became the world’s leader. Language itself became submitted to rules during this period. This need to fix the English language is best illustrated (描述) in the making of The Dictionary of the English Language by Samuel Johnson. Guides to the English language had been in existence before Johnson began his project in 1746. These, however, were often little more than lists of hard words. When definitions of common words were supplied, they were often unhelpful. For example, a “horse” was defined in an early dictionary as “a beast well known”.
Johnson changed all that, but the task was not an easy one. Renting a house at 17 Gough Square, Johnson began working in the worst of conditions. Supported only by his publisher, Johnson worked on the Dictionary with five assistants. Compared to the French Academy’s dictionary, which took forty workers fifty-five years to complete (1639-1694), Johnson’s dictionary was completed by very few people very quickly.
Balanced on a chair with only three legs, Johnson sat against a wall in a room filled with books. Johnson would read widely from these books, mark passages illustrating the use of a particular word, and give the books to his assistants so that they could copy the passages on slips of paper. These slips were then stuck to eighty large notebooks under the key words that Johnson had selected. Fixing the word by this method, Johnson could record a word，s usage and its definition.
How many passages were used? According to Johnson’s modern biographer Walter Jackson Bate, the original total number could have been over 240,000. How many words were defined by the lexicographer? Over 40,000 words appeared in two large books in April of 1755. Did Johnson fully understand the huge task he was undertaking when he began? As he told his contemporary biographer James Boswell, “I knew very well what I was undertaking and very well how to do it — and have done it very well.”
12. What is the problem of early English dictionaries?
A. They only offer simple pictures.
B. They list just a few foreign words.
C. They simply give some translations.
D. They add no more than some big words.
13. What does the underlined word “lexicographer” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. A publisher. B. A biographer.
C. A maker of dictionaries. D. An assistant.
14. What can we infer about Samuel Johnson from the text?
A. He standardized English.
B. He cared about authority a lot
C. He gained much financial support.
D. He complained of working conditions.
15. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. To discuss the problems of dictionaries.
B. To encourage people to work on a project.
C. To persuade people to buy the new dictionary.
D. To introduce how Johnson complete his dictionary.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
本文是一篇文化类短文阅读。文章主要是告诉读者Samuel Johnson编纂英国词典的故事。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中These, however, were often little more than lists of hard words可知，早期英语词典的问题是只是增加了一些难词。故选D。
【13题详解】

【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者到杂货店买罐子自己做浴盐作为节日礼物送给朋友，也给售货员送了一份，售货员很高兴，给作者一个拥抱。
【详解】第一处：考查非谓语动词。句中逻辑主语I与buy之间为主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。句意：12月10日，我在一家杂货店买罐头瓶做一个项目。故将buy改为buying。
第二处：考查时态。根据全文可知，这里用一般过去时。句意：售货员问我打算用这些罐子做什么。故将ask改为asked。
第三处：考查非谓语动词或介词。名词plan 后接to为不定式，后接动词原形；或者名词plan后接介词for，后接v-ing形式。句意：我告诉她我打算给朋友们做浴盐作为节日礼物。故将to改为for或者将making改为make。
第四处：考查形容词。主语为She，指代人，故用形容词interested，表示“感兴趣的”。句意：她很感兴趣。故将interesting改为interested。
第五处：考查动词用法。动词let用法为let sb. do sth.让某人做某事。句意：让我告诉她结果如何。故将to去掉。
第六处：考查名词数。名词day为可数名词，根据a few修饰可知，用复数形式。句意：圣诞节前几天，我给她带来了一个装满我做的浴盐的礼物罐。故将day改为days。
第七处：考查代词。根据上文可知，售货员为女性，故用代词her。句意：圣诞节前几天，我给她带来了一个装满我做的浴盐的礼物罐。故将him改为her。
第八处：考查固定句型。本题考查so … that …如此 …… 以至于…… 。句意：她是如此的惊讶和高兴，她给了我一个拥抱。故将very改为so。
第九处：考查冠词。短语give sb. a hug给某人拥抱。句意：她是如此的惊讶和高兴，她给了我一个拥抱。故在hug前加a。
第十处：考查副词。修饰动词，前用副词形式。句意：小小的善举就能产生很大的影响。故将real改为really。
