Derek Rabelo is not the only surfer to conquer Hawaii's famous Pipeline big-wave break, but while all others use their sight to do it, this young professional surfer must rely only on his other senses. That's because he is completely blind.
When Derek was born about 24 years ago, he got his name from Derek Ho, the first Hawaiian surfing world champion. A surfing enthusiast himself, Emeslo Rabelo dreamed that his son would share the talent of his uncle, a professional surfer. Unfortunately, Derek was born completely blind, but this didn't stop his family from believing that he could do anything he wanted, even if that meant becoming a surfer.
At age 2, Derek received a bodyboard and the beaches of Guarapari, Brazil, became his backyard. He was always comfortable in the water and surfing was in his blood, but he didn't actually try riding a wave until he turned 17, when his father bought him a surfboard. His father taught him the basics and encouraged him to keep practising, but after successfully standing up on the surfboard, Derek knew he needed to become much better if he was going to achieve Emeslo's dream and become a professional surfer. So he joined the Praia do Moroo surf school, where he studied under coach Fabio Maru.
Standing up on a surfboard and conquering small waves is one thing, while gathering the courage to take on Hawaii's board-breaking Pipeline is another. But that was exactly what Derek Rabelo set out to do just months after learning how to surf. Everyone told him it was too dangerous, but he felt he could do it. And he did, earning the praise of famous professional surfers like Kelly Slater and Mick Fanning. Now 24, Rabelo has been surfing the Pipeline every winter since.
4. What makes Dereck Rabelo special as a professional surfer? ______
A. He is disabled. B. He is talented.
C. He is fortunate. D. He is hard-working.
5. Who is Derek Ho? ______
A. Derek Rabelo's uncle. B. Derek Rabelo's father.
C. A surf school coach. D. A professional surf trainer.
6. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Derek Rabelo? ______
A. His difficulties in surfing.
B. His achievements in surfing.
C. His dream to be a professional surfer.
D. His early life to be a professional surfer.
7. What words can best describe Derek according to the last paragraph? ______
A. Skillful and proud. B. Brave and confident.
C. Considerate and reliable. D. Careful and strong-willed.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇人物传记。叙述了盲人小伙德里克.拉贝洛以及他早年学习冲浪的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段“ That’s because he is completely blind.”那是因为他完全瞎了。可知,Dereck Rabelo是个残疾人。故A选项正确。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段“When Derek was born about 24 years ago, he got his name from Derek Ho, the first Hawaiian surfing world champion. A surfing enthusiast himself, Emeslo Rabelo dreamed that his son would share the talent of his uncle, a professional surfer. ”,他的父亲埃内斯托已经决定给他起个名字,以Derek Ho的名字命名,他是夏威夷第一位冲浪世界冠军。Emeslo Rabelo是一个冲浪爱好者,他梦想着他的儿子能继承他叔叔的天赋,成为一名职业冲浪者。可知,Derek Ho是 Derek Rabelo的叔叔。故A选项正确。
【6题详解】
段落大意题。由第三段的“At age 2, Derek received a bodyboard and the beaches of Guarapari, Brazil, became his backyard.”2岁时,德里克得到了一块俯伏冲浪板,巴西瓜拉巴的海滩成了他的后院。“ but he didn’t actually try riding a wave until he turned 17, when his father bought him a surfboard. His father taught him the basics and encouraged him to keep practising, but after successfully standing up on the surfboard,”但他并没有真正尝试过冲浪,直到17岁,当他的父亲给他买了一个冲浪板。他的父亲教他基础知识,鼓励他继续练习。“So he joined the Praia do Moroo surf school, where he studied under coach Fabio Maru.”所以他加入了普拉亚多莫鲁冲浪学校,在Fabio Maru教练的指导下学习。可知,第三段都在讲述德里克成为专业冲浪手之前的早年生活。故D选项正确。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。由最后段“Everyone told him it was too dangerous, but he felt he could do it. And he did, earning the praise of famous professional surfers like Kelly Slater and Mick Fanning. ”每个人都告诉他这太危险了,但他觉得他能做到。他做到了,赢得了像Kelly Slater和Mick Fanning这样的著名职业冲浪者的赞扬。可知,德里克勇敢且自信。故B选项正确。
【点睛】通过对关键词或关键句子的判断能够更快更好地推理出想表达的言外之意。通过对句子“Everyone told him it was too dangerous, but he felt he could do it. And he did,”中的关键词but he felt he could do it.可知,虽然危险但是他做了,说明他勇敢。他感觉他能做,说明他很自信。所以,“勇敢”和“自信”最能描述Derek。故小题4的正确答案为B选项。
C
"Her grades are fine; I'm not worried about that, but she just doesn't seem to love learning any more,"
Alice's mum said.
She's absolutely right. I'd noticed the same thing about her daughter over the previous two or three years when I'd been Alice's middle school teacher, and I have an answer, right there on the tip of my tongue, to what has gone wrong. Yet I'm torn between my responsibility to help Alice and the knowledge that what I have to say is a truth I'm not sure this mother is ready to hear.
The truth for this parent and so many others is this: Her child has sacrificed her natural curiosity and love of learning at the altar of achievement, and it's our fault. Alice's parents, her teachers, society at large - we are all supposed to be blamed in this crime against learning. From her first day of school, we pointed her toward that altar and trained her to measure her progress by means of points, scores, and awards.
We taught Alice that her potential is tied to her intellect(智力), and that her intellect is more important than her character. We taught her to come home proudly bearing grade As, championship prizes, and college acceptance, and not on purpose, we taught her that we don't really care how she obtains them. We taught her to protect her academic and extracurricular(课外的)perfection at all costs and that it's better to quit when things get challenging rather than risk losing that perfect record. Above all else, we taught her to fear failure. That fear is what has destroyed her love of learning.
8. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that the author ______ .
A. thinks Alice is right
B. is uncertain of the answer
C. hesitates to express an idea
D. wonders why the mother is worried
9. Which can replace the underlined words"at the altar of"? ______
A. instead of B. at the risk of
C. at the loss of D. in the interest of
10. What has really made Alice change her attitude to learning? ______
A. Being slow in study. B. Fear of bad grades.
C. Difficulty in study. D. Press from parents.
11. What is more important for a teenager in the author's opinion? ______
A. His knowledge. B. His intellect.
C. His character. D. His achievement.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章作者是一名老师,介绍了自己的一个学生,成绩很好,但不爱学习,然后分析了原因,是老师,家长,社会用所谓的成就抹杀了孩子的热情和好奇心,最终导致孩子不爱学习。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段“I have an answer, right there on the tip of my tongue, to what has gone wrong. Yet I’m torn between my responsibility to help Alice and the knowledge that what I have to say is a truth I’m not sure this mother is ready to hear.”我的答案就在我的嘴边,就是出了什么问题。然而,我在帮助爱丽丝的责任和我必须说的是事实之间左右为难,我不确定这个母亲是否已经准备好聆听了。可知,作者对要表达出自己的看法很犹豫。故C选项正确。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。由第三段“Her child has sacrificed her natural curiosity and love of learning at the altar of achievement”她的孩子为了所谓的成就牺牲了她天生的好奇心和对学习的热爱。可知at the altar of的意思是“为了.”。故D选项正确。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由最后段“That fear is what has destroyed her love of learning.恐惧摧毁了她对学习的热爱”可知,B选项正确。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段“Alice’s parents, her teachers, society at large — we are all supposed to be blamed in this crime against learning”以及“ We taught Alice that her potential is tied to her intellect(智力), and that her intellect is more important than her character”爱丽丝的父母,她的老师,整个社会--我们都应该在这次犯罪中受到谴责。“我们告诉爱丽丝,她的潜力与她的智力息息相关,她的智力比她的性格更重要。”可知,作者在表达我们对孩子的错误教导。所以可以判断出作者认为性格更重要。故C选项正确。
D
The year 3700, Earth is far too hot for any human to call it home. On this planet at least, man is nothing more than a memory - if there is anything left to remember the"wise man". But what about our wisdom -will any of it survive us?
The conventional answer is no. Knowledge requires a knower, and there will be no knowing minds around then. But if information survives, perhaps in books or hard drives, maybe the knowledge isn't quite dead but dormant (休眠), ready to become alive with the help of other minds that develop over time or come to visit Earth in the distant future.
At first sight, that seems to be reasonable: after all, we have done similar things with past knowledge. For example, we saved an ancient computer from a ship destroyed at sea off the southern coast of Greece, and succeeded in finding the meaning of Egyptian hieroglyphics(象形文字). Careful work can bring previously lost wisdom back to life.
However, the key point is that there is a certain cultural continuity with those ancient times that allows us to reason and make progress in the dark: we know we are dealing with the legacy (遗赠) of other humans.
Without that link, the survival of objects and raw data doesn't guarantee the survival of knowledge.And a lack of continuity in language with any future intelligence would be a barrier. Knowledge is closely connected with language. When a language dies out, we can lose systems of reasoning that they contain. If that's lost, then it can't be recovered.
All this means that other minds might not be able to fully make human knowledge alive when we are gone. It is better to concentrate on not dying out in the first place.
12. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1? ______
A. To present an interesting idea.
B. To state a problem of the future.
C. To inform us of the earth in 3700.
D. To introduce the topic of the text.
13. What do the words"similar things"in Paragraph 3probably refer to? ______
A. Developing the minds.
B. Remembering the wise man.
C. Making lost wisdom alive again.
D. Learning from the ancient civilization.
14. What plays the key part in getting cultural continuity according to the text? ______
A. Language. B. Intelligence.
C. Knowledge. D. Information.
15. What can be the best title for the text? ______
A. Can human beings live on?
B. Will our wisdom survive us?
C. How we can protect our culture
D. What the earth will be like in the future
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。一架古希腊计算机在希腊南部海岸附近海域的沉船中被发现,向世人宣告了远古文明曾达到的惊人高度。如果我们不幸灭绝,后来的生命能否从我们的遗物中发现人类智慧的痕迹?
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段可知,3700年,地球极端炎热,人类已不能称其为家园。至少在这颗行星上,人类不过是一段记忆——如果这里还留有任何让人忆起“智人”的事物的话。但我们的智慧呢——会有一部分智慧能比我们存活得更长久吗?所以判断出第一段是为了引出话题,才有了第二段介绍传统看法“知识死亡论”和新看法“知识休眠论”。第三段,说明“知识休眠论”表面的合理性。第四段指出“知识休眠论”的缺陷所在。最后段总结主题得出结论。故D选项正确。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。由第三段“ For example, we saved an ancient computer from a ship destroyed at sea off the southern coast of Greece, and succeeded in finding the meaning of Egyptian hieroglyphics. Careful work can bring previously lost wisdom back to life.例如,我们从一艘在希腊南部海岸附近海域被摧毁的船只上拯救了一台古老的计算机,并成功地找到了埃及象形文字的含义。仔细的工作可以使先前失去的智慧复活。可知,“similar things”指的是“让失去的智慧复活”。故C选项正确。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段“And a lack of continuity in language with any future intelligence would be a barrier. Knowledge is closely connected with language. When a language dies out, we can lose systems of reasoning that they contain. If that’s lost, then it can’t be recovered.”。与未来智慧生命缺少语言连续性也会成为障碍。知识与语言密切相关。当一种语言消亡时,我们就会失去它们所包含的思维体系。如果丢了,就找不到了。可知,语言在维系文化的持续性扮演着重要的作用。故A选项正确。
【15题详解】
标题归纳题。通读全文可知,第二段介绍传统看法“知识死亡论”和新看法“知识休眠论”。第三段,说明“知识休眠论”表面的合理性。第四段指出“知识休眠论”的缺陷所在。最后段总结主题得出结论。这些都是围绕着“如果我们不幸灭绝,后来的生命能否从我们的遗物中发现人类智慧的痕迹?”这个主题展开的。故B选项正确。
【点睛】根据列举的事例猜测词义是解决猜测词义题型的方法之一。通过对列举事例的分析,可以快速地判断出词的意思。小题2要求猜测出“similar things”指的是什么?通过对短文所给出的事例“ For example, we saved an ancient computer from a ship destroyed at sea off the southern coast of Greece, and succeeded in finding the meaning of Egyptian hieroglyphics. Careful work can bring previously lost wisdom back to life.”的分析可知,在沉船上发现了计算机并成功地找到了埃及象形文字的含义。这使得先前失去的智慧复活。短文中we have done similar things with past knowledge.“所以我们对过去的知识做过同样的事”。这里的“similar things”指的就是“让失去的智慧复活”。故C选项正确。所以要把握好事例所要传达的意思,会使词义猜测更容易。

I was admitted to a ordinary school. I feel disappointed at the poorly-equipped classroom, and I found the teachers friendly and considerate. Besides, I was fond of the warm atmosphere in class. I was determining to make the best of it. I worked hard and got along good with my teachers and classmates. Whenever I had difficulties, they were always ready help me out. Soon, I became one of the top student in my class, that made me become confident.
My experience in high school often reminds me that it is not how you are given but how you make use of it that determines on who you are.
【答案】第一处:a→an
第二处:feel→felt
第三处:and→but
第四处:determining→determined
第五处:good→well
第六处:help me 前面加上to
第七处:student→students
第八处:that→which
第九处:how →what
第十处:去掉on
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。作者叙述了自己高中的学习生活以及对高中学习生活的感悟。
【详解】第一处:考查冠词。句意:我被一所普通学校录取了。ordinary首字母的发音为元音因素,所以用an。故a→ an。
第二处:考查一般过去时。句意:我对这个设备简陋的教室感到失望。由上下文语境可知,整篇短文是对过去事情的叙述,所以用一般过去时。故feel→ felt。
第三处:考查连词。句意:但是,我发现老师们很友好,也很体贴。根据句意可知,前后句语意转折。故and→ but。
第四处:考查过去分词。句意:我决定好好利用它。be determined to do sth“下定决心做某事”。故determining→ determined。
第五处:考查副词。句意:我努力学习,与老师和同学相处得很好。well为副词修饰动词短语get along with。故good→ well。
第六处:考查增加词。句意:每当我遇到困难时,他们总是随时准备帮助我。be ready to do sth“准备做某事”。故help me 前面加上to。
第七处:考查名词复数。句意:很快,我就成为班里最优秀的学生之一,这使我变得自信起来。one of 后接名词复数。故student→ students。
第八处:考查关系词。句意:很快,我就成为班里最优秀的学生之一,这使我变得自信起来。分析句子可知,本句涉及非限制性定语从句,which指代前面整个句子,在定语从句中作主语。故that→ which。
第九处:考查连接词。句意:我在高中的经历经常提醒我,决定你是谁的不是你得到了什么,而是你如何利用它。 分析“it is not how you are given”可知,本句为表语从句,what作give的宾语。故how→ what。
第十处:考查删除多余词。句意:我在高中的经历经常提醒我,决定你是谁的不是你得到了什么,而是你如何利用它。determine在本句中为及物动词后直接接宾语。故去掉on。
【点睛】what常用来引导名词性从句,即主语从句,宾语从句,表语从句和同位语从句。what在引导名词性从句时有两个重要的特点:
一是它在相应的名词性从句中一定有含义,常表示“什么”,“所…的”,“…的样子”等.
二是它在相应的名词性从句中一定做成分,而且常做主语,宾语或表语.
分析第九处“it is not how you are given”可知,本句为表语从句,what作give的宾语。故how→ what。

Derek Rabelo is not the only surfer to conquer Hawaii's famous Pipeline big-wave break, but while all others use their sight to do it, this young professional surfer must rely only on his other senses. That's because he is completely blind.
When Derek was born about 24 years ago, he got his name from Derek Ho, the first Hawaiian surfing world champion. A surfing enthusiast himself, Emeslo Rabelo dreamed that his son would share the talent of his uncle, a professional surfer. Unfortunately, Derek was born completely blind, but this didn't stop his family from believing that he could do anything he wanted, even if that meant becoming a surfer.
At age 2, Derek received a bodyboard and the beaches of Guarapari, Brazil, became his backyard. He was always comfortable in the water and surfing was in his blood, but he didn't actually try riding a wave until he turned 17, when his father bought him a surfboard. His father taught him the basics and encouraged him to keep practising, but after successfully standing up on the surfboard, Derek knew he needed to become much better if he was going to achieve Emeslo's dream and become a professional surfer. So he joined the Praia do Moroo surf school, where he studied under coach Fabio Maru.
Standing up on a surfboard and conquering small waves is one thing, while gathering the courage to take on Hawaii's board-breaking Pipeline is another. But that was exactly what Derek Rabelo set out to do just months after learning how to surf. Everyone told him it was too dangerous, but he felt he could do it. And he did, earning the praise of famous professional surfers like Kelly Slater and Mick Fanning. Now 24, Rabelo has been surfing the Pipeline every winter since.
4. What makes Dereck Rabelo special as a professional surfer? ______
A. He is disabled. B. He is talented.
C. He is fortunate. D. He is hard-working.
5. Who is Derek Ho? ______
A. Derek Rabelo's uncle. B. Derek Rabelo's father.

D. His early life to be a professional surfer.
7. What words can best describe Derek according to the last paragraph? ______

C. Considerate and reliable. D. Careful and strong-willed.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. D 7. B

这是一篇人物传记。叙述了盲人小伙德里克.拉贝洛以及他早年学习冲浪的故事。

细节理解题。由第一段“ That’s because he is completely blind.”那是因为他完全瞎了。可知,Dereck Rabelo是个残疾人。故A选项正确。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段“When Derek was born about 24 years ago, he got his name from Derek Ho, the first Hawaiian surfing world champion. A surfing enthusiast himself, Emeslo Rabelo dreamed that his son would share the talent of his uncle, a professional surfer. ”,他的父亲埃内斯托已经决定给他起个名字,以Derek Ho的名字命名,他是夏威夷第一位冲浪世界冠军。Emeslo Rabelo是一个冲浪爱好者,他梦想着他的儿子能继承他叔叔的天赋,成为一名职业冲浪者。可知,Derek Ho是 Derek Rabelo的叔叔。故A选项正确。
【6题详解】
段落大意题。由第三段的“At age 2, Derek received a bodyboard and the beaches of Guarapari, Brazil, became his backyard.”2岁时,德里克得到了一块俯伏冲浪板,巴西瓜拉巴的海滩成了他的后院。“ but he didn’t actually try riding a wave until he turned 17, when his father bought him a surfboard. His father taught him the basics and encouraged him to keep practising, but after successfully standing up on the surfboard,”但他并没有真正尝试过冲浪,直到17岁,当他的父亲给他买了一个冲浪板。他的父亲教他基础知识,鼓励他继续练习。“So he joined the Praia do Moroo surf school, where he studied under coach Fabio Maru.”所以他加入了普拉亚多莫鲁冲浪学校,在Fabio Maru教练的指导下学习。可知,第三段都在讲述德里克成为专业冲浪手之前的早年生活。故D选项正确。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。由最后段“Everyone told him it was too dangerous, but he felt he could do it. And he did, earning the praise of famous professional surfers like Kelly Slater and Mick Fanning. ”每个人都告诉他这太危险了,但他觉得他能做到。他做到了,赢得了像Kelly Slater和Mick Fanning这样的著名职业冲浪者的赞扬。可知,德里克勇敢且自信。故B选项正确。
【点睛】通过对关键词或关键句子的判断能够更快更好地推理出想表达的言外之意。通过对句子“Everyone told him it was too dangerous, but he felt he could do it. And he did,”中的关键词but he felt he could do it.可知,虽然危险但是他做了,说明他勇敢。他感觉他能做,说明他很自信。所以,“勇敢”和“自信”最能描述Derek。故小题4的正确答案为B选项。
C
"Her grades are fine; I'm not worried about that, but she just doesn't seem to love learning any more,"
Alice's mum said.
She's absolutely right. I'd noticed the same thing about her daughter over the previous two or three years when I'd been Alice's middle school teacher, and I have an answer, right there on the tip of my tongue, to what has gone wrong. Yet I'm torn between my responsibility to help Alice and the knowledge that what I have to say is a truth I'm not sure this mother is ready to hear.
The truth for this parent and so many others is this: Her child has sacrificed her natural curiosity and love of learning at the altar of achievement, and it's our fault. Alice's parents, her teachers, society at large - we are all supposed to be blamed in this crime against learning. From her first day of school, we pointed her toward that altar and trained her to measure her progress by means of points, scores, and awards.
We taught Alice that her potential is tied to her intellect(智力), and that her intellect is more important than her character. We taught her to come home proudly bearing grade As, championship prizes, and college acceptance, and not on purpose, we taught her that we don't really care how she obtains them. We taught her to protect her academic and extracurricular(课外的)perfection at all costs and that it's better to quit when things get challenging rather than risk losing that perfect record. Above all else, we taught her to fear failure. That fear is what has destroyed her love of learning.
8. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that the author ______ .
A. thinks Alice is right
B. is uncertain of the answer
C. hesitates to express an idea
D. wonders why the mother is worried
9. Which can replace the underlined words"at the altar of"? ______
A. instead of B. at the risk of
C. at the loss of D. in the interest of
10. What has really made Alice change her attitude to learning? ______
A. Being slow in study. B. Fear of bad grades.
C. Difficulty in study. D. Press from parents.
11. What is more important for a teenager in the author's opinion? ______
A. His knowledge. B. His intellect.
C. His character. D. His achievement.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. C
【解析】
这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章作者是一名老师,介绍了自己的一个学生,成绩很好,但不爱学习,然后分析了原因,是老师,家长,社会用所谓的成就抹杀了孩子的热情和好奇心,最终导致孩子不爱学习。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段“I have an answer, right there on the tip of my tongue, to what has gone wrong. Yet I’m torn between my responsibility to help Alice and the knowledge that what I have to say is a truth I’m not sure this mother is ready to hear.”我的答案就在我的嘴边,就是出了什么问题。然而,我在帮助爱丽丝的责任和我必须说的是事实之间左右为难,我不确定这个母亲是否已经准备好聆听了。可知,作者对要表达出自己的看法很犹豫。故C选项正确。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。由第三段“Her child has sacrificed her natural curiosity and love of learning at the altar of achievement”她的孩子为了所谓的成就牺牲了她天生的好奇心和对学习的热爱。可知at the altar of的意思是“为了.”。故D选项正确。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由最后段“That fear is what has destroyed her love of learning.恐惧摧毁了她对学习的热爱”可知,B选项正确。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段“Alice’s parents, her teachers, society at large — we are all supposed to be blamed in this crime against learning”以及“ We taught Alice that her potential is tied to her intellect(智力), and that her intellect is more important than her character”爱丽丝的父母,她的老师,整个社会--我们都应该在这次犯罪中受到谴责。“我们告诉爱丽丝,她的潜力与她的智力息息相关,她的智力比她的性格更重要。”可知,作者在表达我们对孩子的错误教导。所以可以判断出作者认为性格更重要。故C选项正确。
D
The year 3700, Earth is far too hot for any human to call it home. On this planet at least, man is nothing more than a memory - if there is anything left to remember the"wise man". But what about our wisdom -will any of it survive us?
The conventional answer is no. Knowledge requires a knower, and there will be no knowing minds around then. But if information survives, perhaps in books or hard drives, maybe the knowledge isn't quite dead but dormant (休眠), ready to become alive with the help of other minds that develop over time or come to visit Earth in the distant future.
At first sight, that seems to be reasonable: after all, we have done similar things with past knowledge. For example, we saved an ancient computer from a ship destroyed at sea off the southern coast of Greece, and succeeded in finding the meaning of Egyptian hieroglyphics(象形文字). Careful work can bring previously lost wisdom back to life.
However, the key point is that there is a certain cultural continuity with those ancient times that allows us to reason and make progress in the dark: we know we are dealing with the legacy (遗赠) of other humans.
Without that link, the survival of objects and raw data doesn't guarantee the survival of knowledge.And a lack of continuity in language with any future intelligence would be a barrier. Knowledge is closely connected with language. When a language dies out, we can lose systems of reasoning that they contain. If that's lost, then it can't be recovered.
All this means that other minds might not be able to fully make human knowledge alive when we are gone. It is better to concentrate on not dying out in the first place.
12. What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1? ______
A. To present an interesting idea.
B. To state a problem of the future.
C. To inform us of the earth in 3700.
D. To introduce the topic of the text.
13. What do the words"similar things"in Paragraph 3probably refer to? ______
A. Developing the minds.
B. Remembering the wise man.
C. Making lost wisdom alive again.
D. Learning from the ancient civilization.
14. What plays the key part in getting cultural continuity according to the text? ______
A. Language. B. Intelligence.
C. Knowledge. D. Information.
15. What can be the best title for the text? ______
A. Can human beings live on?
B. Will our wisdom survive us?
C. How we can protect our culture
D. What the earth will be like in the future
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。一架古希腊计算机在希腊南部海岸附近海域的沉船中被发现,向世人宣告了远古文明曾达到的惊人高度。如果我们不幸灭绝,后来的生命能否从我们的遗物中发现人类智慧的痕迹?
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段可知,3700年,地球极端炎热,人类已不能称其为家园。至少在这颗行星上,人类不过是一段记忆——如果这里还留有任何让人忆起“智人”的事物的话。但我们的智慧呢——会有一部分智慧能比我们存活得更长久吗?所以判断出第一段是为了引出话题,才有了第二段介绍传统看法“知识死亡论”和新看法“知识休眠论”。第三段,说明“知识休眠论”表面的合理性。第四段指出“知识休眠论”的缺陷所在。最后段总结主题得出结论。故D选项正确。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。由第三段“ For example, we saved an ancient computer from a ship destroyed at sea off the southern coast of Greece, and succeeded in finding the meaning of Egyptian hieroglyphics. Careful work can bring previously lost wisdom back to life.例如,我们从一艘在希腊南部海岸附近海域被摧毁的船只上拯救了一台古老的计算机,并成功地找到了埃及象形文字的含义。仔细的工作可以使先前失去的智慧复活。可知,“similar things”指的是“让失去的智慧复活”。故C选项正确。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段“And a lack of continuity in language with any future intelligence would be a barrier. Knowledge is closely connected with language. When a language dies out, we can lose systems of reasoning that they contain. If that’s lost, then it can’t be recovered.”。与未来智慧生命缺少语言连续性也会成为障碍。知识与语言密切相关。当一种语言消亡时,我们就会失去它们所包含的思维体系。如果丢了,就找不到了。可知,语言在维系文化的持续性扮演着重要的作用。故A选项正确。
【15题详解】
标题归纳题。通读全文可知,第二段介绍传统看法“知识死亡论”和新看法“知识休眠论”。第三段,说明“知识休眠论”表面的合理性。第四段指出“知识休眠论”的缺陷所在。最后段总结主题得出结论。这些都是围绕着“如果我们不幸灭绝,后来的生命能否从我们的遗物中发现人类智慧的痕迹?”这个主题展开的。故B选项正确。
【点睛】根据列举的事例猜测词义是解决猜测词义题型的方法之一。通过对列举事例的分析,可以快速地判断出词的意思。小题2要求猜测出“similar things”指的是什么?通过对短文所给出的事例“ For example, we saved an ancient computer from a ship destroyed at sea off the southern coast of Greece, and succeeded in finding the meaning of Egyptian hieroglyphics. Careful work can bring previously lost wisdom back to life.”的分析可知,在沉船上发现了计算机并成功地找到了埃及象形文字的含义。这使得先前失去的智慧复活。短文中we have done similar things with past knowledge.“所以我们对过去的知识做过同样的事”。这里的“similar things”指的就是“让失去的智慧复活”。故C选项正确。所以要把握好事例所要传达的意思,会使词义猜测更容易。

I was admitted to a ordinary school. I feel disappointed at the poorly-equipped classroom, and I found the teachers friendly and considerate. Besides, I was fond of the warm atmosphere in class. I was determining to make the best of it. I worked hard and got along good with my teachers and classmates. Whenever I had difficulties, they were always ready help me out. Soon, I became one of the top student in my class, that made me become confident.
My experience in high school often reminds me that it is not how you are given but how you make use of it that determines on who you are.
【答案】第一处:a→an
第二处:feel→felt
第三处:and→but
第四处:determining→determined
第五处:good→well
第六处:help me 前面加上to
第七处:student→students
第八处:that→which
第九处:how →what
第十处:去掉on
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。作者叙述了自己高中的学习生活以及对高中学习生活的感悟。
【详解】第一处:考查冠词。句意:我被一所普通学校录取了。ordinary首字母的发音为元音因素,所以用an。故a→ an。
第二处:考查一般过去时。句意:我对这个设备简陋的教室感到失望。由上下文语境可知,整篇短文是对过去事情的叙述,所以用一般过去时。故feel→ felt。
第三处:考查连词。句意:但是,我发现老师们很友好,也很体贴。根据句意可知,前后句语意转折。故and→ but。
第四处:考查过去分词。句意:我决定好好利用它。be determined to do sth“下定决心做某事”。故determining→ determined。
第五处:考查副词。句意:我努力学习,与老师和同学相处得很好。well为副词修饰动词短语get along with。故good→ well。
第六处:考查增加词。句意:每当我遇到困难时,他们总是随时准备帮助我。be ready to do sth“准备做某事”。故help me 前面加上to。
第七处:考查名词复数。句意:很快,我就成为班里最优秀的学生之一,这使我变得自信起来。one of 后接名词复数。故student→ students。
第八处:考查关系词。句意:很快,我就成为班里最优秀的学生之一,这使我变得自信起来。分析句子可知,本句涉及非限制性定语从句,which指代前面整个句子,在定语从句中作主语。故that→ which。
第九处:考查连接词。句意:我在高中的经历经常提醒我,决定你是谁的不是你得到了什么,而是你如何利用它。 分析“it is not how you are given”可知,本句为表语从句,what作give的宾语。故how→ what。
第十处:考查删除多余词。句意:我在高中的经历经常提醒我,决定你是谁的不是你得到了什么,而是你如何利用它。determine在本句中为及物动词后直接接宾语。故去掉on。
【点睛】what常用来引导名词性从句,即主语从句,宾语从句,表语从句和同位语从句。what在引导名词性从句时有两个重要的特点:
一是它在相应的名词性从句中一定有含义,常表示“什么”,“所…的”,“…的样子”等.
二是它在相应的名词性从句中一定做成分,而且常做主语,宾语或表语.
分析第九处“it is not how you are given”可知,本句为表语从句,what作give的宾语。故how→ what。
