Ⅰ.阅读理解ABiologist Robert Pitman and his colleagues tracked orcas，or killer whales，and humpback whales off the coast of Western Australia.To research further，the scientists attached a tracker to a female orca，which allowed them to use satellites to monitor her movements.They followed her for six days.During that time，the orca attacked eight young humpback whales.During the seven attacks，the orca killed the humpback whale calf (幼兽) on three occasions.But the story doesn't end there.Humpback whales themselves are popularly thought to be large but generally，passive creatures.Pitman's study findings may let people think otherwise.When chased by orcas，humpback whales are known to try to outswim orcas.They are thought to do this at high speed so that the orcas can't keep up.On some occasions，the humpback whales sought out protection.They swam to shallow water，nearby reefs，or even under the researchers' boats.These ways often reduced the attack.But at other times，the humpback whales decided to stay and fight.As the orcas approached，the mother humpback would sometimes move her calf to her side，or lift it out of the water using her head or flippers.She also blew huge breaths of air to disturb the orcas，and lunged or charged at them，slashing(劈)and slapping her tail and flippers.Perhaps most surprisingly，humpback whales also have adult “escorts (护卫队)” that try to protect calves that are not their own，joining the mother in defending the smaller whale.These escort whales either charged at the orcas，or placed themselves between the attackers and calves，slashing their tails and flippers.Despite the efforts of the mother whales and escorts，the orcas were more often than not successful in their attacks.But the presence of the escorts did reduce how many times a whale calf was killed.[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是科学家使用科学仪器来观察杀人鲸是如何追杀驼背鲸及后者是如何反击和保护幼小的驼背鲸的.1．What's the purpose of the scientists' further research?A．To keep a record of whales' living habits.B．To observe orcas' hunting humpback whales.C．To see what life-or-death battles whales may face.D．To find out the techniques orcas use when hunting.解析：细节理解题.根据文章第一段中的“To research further...to use satellites to monitor her movements.They followed her for six days.During that time，the orca attacked eight younghumpback whales...”可知，科学家进行进一步研究的目的是观察杀人鲸追杀驼背鲸的活动.故选B.答案：B2．Why did the humpback whales swim to shallow water?A．To avoid being attacked.B．To hunt for food.C．To protect their young.D．To trick the chasers.解析：细节理解题.根据文章第三段中的“On some occasions，the humpback whales sought out protection.They swam to shallow water，nearby reefs，or even under the researchers' boats.”可知，驼背鲸游至浅水区是出于自身的安全考虑，为了避免被攻击.故选A.答案：A3．What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4?A．Why humpback whales fall victim to orcas.B．How humpback whales protect their calves.C．The great mother love of humpback whales.D．Smaller humpback whales' ways of surviving.解析：段落大意题.根据第四段的内容可知，本段主要讲的是在面对杀人鲸的攻击时，驼背鲸是如何进行反击来保护自己的幼崽的.故B项最能概括本段的主旨要义.答案：B4．What does Pitman's study find?A．Orcas are successful in their attacks.B．It's not easy for orcas to obtain food.C．Humpback whales swim faster than orcas.D．Humpback whales could be active animals.解析：推理判断题.第二段提到“Humpback whales themselves are popularly thought to be large but generally，passive creatures.Pitman's study findings may let people think otherwise.”，驼背鲸一般被认为是大型的但是通常被动的生物，Pitman的研究发现可能会让人不这么认为.下文接着讲了面对杀人鲸的攻击时，驼背鲸所采取的一些应对方式，其中包含积极迎击.故选D.答案：DBOpera is an art form that celebrates the human voice.No other art form creates excitement and moves the heart in the way that opera does，especially when performed by a great singer.Opera isan important part of the Western classical music tradition.It uses music，words，and actions to bring a dramatic story to life.Opera started in Italy at the end of the 16th century and later became popular throughout Europe.Over the years，it has responded to various musicals.In recent decades，much wider audiences have been introduced to opera through modern recording technology.Some singers have become celebrities thanks to performing on radio，on TV，and in the cinema.However，in recent years，opera has been facing serious challenges.One current challenge to opera is economics.The shortage of money raises the broader question of how much should be paid to support opera singers and other artists.Society seems to accept the large salaries paid to business managers and the multi-million-dollar contracts given to sports athletes.But what about opera singers? Somehow，people have the idea that artists can be creative only if they suffer in poverty，but this is unrealistic.If artists，including opera singers，lack the support they need，valuable talent is wasted.Not only the shortage of money，but also the way money is managed in the opera world has led to hardships.Principal singers are generally paid performance fees once they complete a show.They typically receive nothing during the many weeks of rehearsal (排练)before a show starts.Another problem faced by opera is how to meet the demands of audiences who are influenced by popular entertainment.Pop singers are often judged as much on the basis of how they look as how they sound.These demands may be unrealistic and possibly harmful.Opera singers simply cannot make a sound big enough to fill a large theater or concert hall without a microphone if their body weight is too low.Emphasizing physical appearance over singing ability may cause audiences to miss out on the human voice at its best.There are no easy solutions to opera's problems and there are many different opinions about the value of opera.However，every year many young people register for music courses with hopes and dreams of developing their talent in this special art form.The fact that opera has survived many obstacles and continues to attract the rising generation shows that it remains a respectable art form full of value.[语篇解读]本文主要讨论了歌剧所面临的挑战和困难.5．Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Opera singers' life stories are dramatic.B．Opera will soon appear on TV and in films.C．Opera fans thank celebrities for performing.D．Opera develops by adapting to new conditions.解析：推理判断题.根据第一段中的“Over the years，it has responded to various musicals.”可推知，歌剧适应新的状况而得以发展，故选D.答案：D6．What can we know from Paragraphs 2 and 3?A．Opera singers are financially insecure.B．Opera singers waste their valuable talent.C．Opera singers get paid before the show.D．Opera singers perform better if they are poor.解析：细节理解题.根据第二段第二句“One current challenge to opera is economics.”以及第三段第一句“Not only the shortage of money，but also the way money is managed in the opera world has led to hardships.”可知，歌剧演唱家的经济是有问题的，不安全的，故选A.答案：A7．What does the author try to say in Paragraph 4?A．Popular culture has had a positive influence on opera.B．Audiences know best how opera should be performed.C．Microphones should be used to make opera more enjoyable.D．Opera singers' voices should be valued more than their looks.解析：推理判断题.根据第四段最后一句“Emphasizing physical appearance over singing ability may cause audiences to miss out on the human voice at its best.”可知，歌剧演唱家的声音要比外貌重要得多，故选D.答案：D8．What would be the best title for this passage?A．The Economic Challenge to OperaB．Opera Faced with the DifficultiesC．Opera as Part of Popular CultureD．The Historical Context of Opera解析：标题归纳题.根据最后一段第一句“There are no easy solutions to opera's problems and there are many different opinions about the value of opera.”并结合全文的整体内容可知，本文主要讨论的是歌剧所面临的问题和挑战，故选B.答案：BⅡ.完形填空Albert Einstein，who was born in Germany in 1879，is known as one of the greatest scientists in the world.When he was a little

Ⅰ.阅读理解AI have two kids, a boy and a girl. I don't worry about my girl；I'm sure she'll be well trained in mixed martial arts. I worry about my son. I'm pretty sure he's going to be feminine (女性化的). Sorry to say that, but let's face it. No dad wants his son to go feminine.At the rate we're moving in a couple of years you won't be able to tell the difference between boys and girls. Sound extreme? Think about this. In every movie where advanced time-traveling beings come to our planet there's one constant: You can't tell the male aliens from the female aliens!But that's the future. Kids today are soft and fat. People ask why. Is it junk food? No. Junk food has been around for fifty years. Is it video games? No. Video games have been around for thirty years.None of the kids playing them back in the day were terribly obese.We're all scratching our heads trying to figure out what we've introduced to society to ruin our kids. But it's not anything we've added that has ruined our kids. It's stuff we've gotten rid of.Take the gym rope for example. Remember that thing that stretched from the floor to the ceiling in your gym class that you could never climb? Most of the kids couldn't make it to the top. But that wasn't the point; the point was you had to try while some middle-aged guys who couldn't make it up a flight of stairs shouted at you. We should have put our son on that rope, and given him a head start. But we didn't want to shame the boy, so we took it down.Taking down the rope would be a good idea if there were no ropes in life. But they're everywhere. You just can't see them.They're in every goal unrealized and expectation not met. The point everyone missed about the rope is you weren't supposed to make it to the top. It was there to create a fire that burned in the oversized belly of every kid.[语篇解读]本文为一篇议论文。

Ⅰ.阅读理解AKBG84 is a one-of-a-kind girl band in Japan consisting of 33 singing and dancing grannies，with an average age of 84.The oldest member，Haru Yamashiro，is 97 years old!The new band，based in the remote island of Kohama in Okinawa，is a huge hit in the country—so much so that the members are rather shocked by their success.Their first single—titled Come on and Dance，Kohama Island—has made it to the top of the charts，and they've just completed a sell-out tour of Japan.“We felt like stars in Tokyo，”added 86-year-old Hideko Kedamori.“Everyone in the audience had a big smile，which gave us the energy to sing our hearts out.We're blessed to have been born in Kohama.Our lyrics are about the island and nature—whales in the sea spouting or dolphins doing somersaults (空翻)．”Regardless of the lyrics，these elderly women are incredibly charming when they perform.Their energy and enthusiasm are amazing，considering their age.In fact，no one under the age of 80 is allowed into the band.It turns out that the pop queens are blessed with incredible genes—Okinawan islanders have one of the highest life expectancies in the world.Their diet chiefly consists of vegetables and local purple-fleshed sweet potatoes，with practically no added sugar.Menaka said she isn't particular about her diet.“I look after my health by cleaning my home，wiping the floors，steaming rice，”she said.“I stay in the shade when it's too hot.I don't want to get burnt.I have to take care of my skin—I'm still young at heart！”[语篇解读]本文主要讲述了日本一个由33位平均年龄为84岁的奶奶组成的乐队大获成功的故事。

Ⅰ.阅读理解AIn the tiny village of Angelica，New York，the post office is more than a place to get mail or send packages.There you'll find the heart of this lovely community.It's where villagers meet and greet friends.When Angelica's post office was threatened with being closed in the 1980s，a villager，Pat，came up with a plan to save it.“At Christmas time I would hear on the news about towns named Snow or Bethlehem having celebrations，”says Pat.“Why couldn't we do the same thing with Angelica？”Pat，who is an artist，created a postal cancellation(邮戳)design featuring an Angelica angel.She drew her angels in a traditional fashion and submitted her suggestion to the U．S.Postal Service.Once approved，the drawing was carved into a stamp cancellation that could be used for one day only.The postmistress(女邮局局长) then had another idea to make the day even more special—calling the post office Angel Station.The large increase in mail amount saved Angelica's post office from being closed and keeps the doors open today.Now it's tradition that on the first Friday in December，people come to Angelica to mail their Christmas cards.Each year the amount of mail going through the Angelica Post Office increases during late November and early December.Stamp collectors from around the world have accepted the Angel Station cancellation，some sending mail from as far away as France.Because the stamp is destroyed each season，Pat draws a new angel that conveys season's greetings from Angel Station every year.Post offices may close in other parts of the country，but this tiny one continues.[语篇解读]纽约的一个小村庄Angelica的邮局即将被迫关闭，艺术家Pat提出新的想法，女邮局局长也给邮局更换了名字，从而使邮局正常运营下去。

Ⅰ.阅读理解ABiologist Robert Pitman and his colleagues tracked orcas，or killer whales，and humpback whales off the coast of Western Australia.To research further，the scientists attached a tracker to a female orca，which allowed them to use satellites to monitor her movements.They followed her for six days.During that time，the orca attacked eight young humpback whales.During the seven attacks，the orca killed the humpback whale calf (幼兽) on three occasions.But the story doesn't end there.Humpback whales themselves are popularly thought to be large but generally，passive creatures.Pitman's study findings may let people think otherwise.When chased by orcas，humpback whales are known to try to outswim orcas.They are thought to do this at high speed so that the orcas can't keep up.On some occasions，the humpback whales sought out protection.They swam to shallow water，nearby reefs，or even under the researchers' boats.These ways often reduced the attack.But at other times，the humpback whales decided to stay and fight.As the orcas approached，the mother humpback would sometimes move her calf to her side，or lift it out of the water using her head or flippers.She also blew huge breaths of air to disturb the orcas，and lunged or charged at them，slashing(劈)and slapping her tail and flippers.Perhaps most surprisingly，humpback whales also have adult “escorts (护卫队)” that try to protect calves that are not their own，joining the mother in defending the smaller whale.These escort whales either charged at the orcas，or placed themselves between the attackers and calves，slashing their tails and flippers.Despite the efforts of the mother whales and escorts，the orcas were more often than not successful in their attacks.But the presence of the escorts did reduce how many times a whale calf was killed.[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是科学家使用科学仪器来观察杀人鲸是如何追杀驼背鲸及后者是如何反击和保护幼小的驼背鲸的。

Ⅰ.阅读理解AIf your kitchen is home to just one type of cooking oil，you are missing out.As well as their unique tastes，different oils have different properties.Here's a summary of cooking techniques and which widely available oil suits each best：FOR GRILLING，BROWNING，AND DEEP-FRYINGAlmond (杏仁) oil is a member of the healthy monounsaturated (单一不饱和的) fat group, along with olive and macadamia nut oil.It has a high smoke point (450 ℃)，so it can be used for all kinds of cooking and add that all-important extra nutty flavor.Store in a cool dry place.FOR BAKING AND STIR-FRYINGMacadamia nut oil gives any dish a rich buttery flavor and is full of antioxidants (抗氧化剂) and monounsaturated fats.It can tolerate up to 230 ℃ and will last up to three years if stored in a dry，cool place.FOR LIGHT COOKING，SAUCES，AND LOW-HEAT BAKINGSesame (芝麻) oil is often described as the queen of oils and is widely used as a cooking oil in India and a flavor enhancer in Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisine.Unlike some cooking oils，sesame oil is delicate and will spoil after only a few months.Always store in the refrigerator.FOR COLD SALAD DRESSINGS，DIPS AND MARINADESExtra virgin olive oil is one of the world's healthiest foods and loaded with flavor，which will vary depending on where the olives are grown.If stored in a dark bottle away from light and heat，extra virgin olive oil can last up to 12 months.[语篇解读]本文为一篇说明文。
