There are over 600 monasteries and nunneries in the Holy Hills of Sagaing, which overlook Mandalay.可知，曼德勒市的建筑物都是英國殖民時期的，以及實(shí)皆山上超過600座修道院和修女院，從而推斷出，曼德勒市令游客印象最深刻是不同的建筑風(fēng)格。故選B。BIn 1869, the Smiley family purchased an area of land about 100 miles north of New York City. Over time, some of their property and much of the surrounding landscape became the Mohonk Preserve, which has since grown to 8, 000 acres and attracts visitors and rock climbers.But the Mohonk Preserve also has a long scientific legacy. In the 1930s, Dan Smiley, a descendent of the original owners, began keeping track of the plants and animals that lived in the area.Megan Napoli is a research ecologist with the Mohonk Preserve in New York. She thinks Smileys efforts produced a rare long-term data set of observations, which is useful for studying the impacts of climate change. For instance, other research has shown that songbirds are migrating north earlier and earlier in the spring.Its important for the birds to arrive at the proper time in the spring, because they need to time their arrival with the insect emergence. So they need to be here to establish their nesting sites, lay their eggs. Once the eggs hatch, they have their baby birds, so they need to time it when the insects are most abundant.Napoli has begun analyzing about 76,000 observations of songbird migration dates collected by Smiley and his team to see if they, too, show that climate change has altered the timing of migrations. Her results suggest that they do.Napoli found that short-distance migrants that spend their winters in the southern U. S. now arrive an average of eleven days earlier than they did in the 1930s. Long-distance migrants that overwinter in the tropics arrive roughly a week earlier. Napoli presented her results at a recent Ecological Society of America meeting in Portland, Oregon.Meanwhile, who knows how many other long-term, personal data collections like Smiley s are out there, waiting to be discovered and to help improve official attempts to track the planets changes.4. What do we know about Dan Smiley?A. He lived in New York City.B. He was a scientific researcher.C. He owned the Mohonk Preserve.D. He kept a record of wildlife.5. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The birds birth.B. The birds arrival.C. The nest building.D. The insect appearance.6. What does Megan Napoli think of Smileys long-term record?A. It has affected the birds migration.B. It challenges the previous research.C. It has changed official attitudes.D. It is of great value to her research.7. What can we learn from Napolis research?A. It is totally based on Smileys long-term notes.B. Scientists have to rely on more personal data.C. Climate change affects birds migration time.D. It contributes greatly to other personal research.【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. C【解析】本文是一篇說明文。本文主要講了Dan Smiley長期追蹤記錄生活在紐約市北部一塊區(qū)域的野生動植物，他的努力提供了稀有的觀察結(jié)果的長期數(shù)據(jù)集，這個數(shù)據(jù)集是研究氣候變化影響的理想資料。生態(tài)學(xué)家Megan Napoli已經(jīng)開始對由Dan Smiley和他的團(tuán)隊(duì)就鳴禽遷徙時間所收集的近76000份觀察結(jié)果展開分析，目的是看看這些材料是否也證明了氣候變化改變了鳥類的遷徙時間。她初步的研究結(jié)果顯示，這些材料的確證明了這一點(diǎn)?！?題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段In the 1930s, Dan Smiley, a descendent of the original owners, began keeping track of the plants and animals that lived in the area.可知，Dan Smiley保持記錄生活在該區(qū)域的野生動植物，選D?！?題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)前文Its important for the birds to arrive at the proper time in the spring, because they need to time their arrival with the insect emergence.（春天鳥兒在適當(dāng)?shù)臅r間到達(dá)非常重要，因?yàn)樗鼈円尩竭_(dá)時間與昆蟲出現(xiàn)時間一致），所以so they need to time it when the insects are most abundant.（所以它們需要在昆蟲最充裕的時候到達(dá)），故選B?！?題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段Napoli has begun analyzing about 76,000 observations of songbird migration dates collected by Smiley and his team to see if they, too, show that climate change has altered the timing of migrations. Her results suggest that they do.（Napoli已經(jīng)開始對由Smiley和他的團(tuán)隊(duì)就鳴禽遷徙時間所收集的近76000份觀察資料展開分析，目的是看看這些材料是否也證明了氣候變化改變了鳥類遷徙時間。她初步的研究結(jié)果顯示，這些材料的確證明了這一點(diǎn)。）可推知，Napoli認(rèn)為Smiley長期的記錄對她的研究很有價值，選D?！?題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段Napoli has begun analyzing about 76,000 observations of songbird migration dates collected by Smiley and his team to see if they, too, show that climate change has altered the timing of migrations.可知，Napoli的研究表明氣候變化的確影響了鳥類的遷徙時間，選C。CFamous Irish poet Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) once wrote: “Ah! Realize your youth while you have it.” He pointed out the important truth about how precious youth is in ones journey through life.However, the popular Internet slang word foxi - or Buddhist - is challenging this norm by encouraging young people to remain calm and peaceful and avoid conflict as much as possible in other words, to live like a Buddha.The phrase was reportedly created in Japan in 2014 to describe young men who no longer bother to start relationships with women or follow someone elses life path. They prefer to stay in their own peaceful world without being disturbed and care little about passion and success.Now, Chinese Internet users are pairing the phrase with other words to describe a similar mindset. For example, “Buddhist students” are those who study just the right amount - they dont cut class, but they dont burn the midnight oil, either. There are also “Buddhist parents”, who interfere (干涉) little with their childrens lives and let them develop however they like - the opposite of “helicopter parents”.In this fast-changing and competitive world, its only natural that people are seeking a spiritual anchor. However, some would compare foxi with “demotivational culture” - a phrase that describes young people who feel aimless and powerless. They say that foxi actually reflects the reality that young people are losing their will to fight. They are pretending to keep a healthy and wise attitude toward failure simply because theyre incapable of succeeding.But no matter what, there is one thing that “Buddhist youngsters” should keep in mind: You may want to keep a calm mindset regarding failure, but you should also be passionate about school, work and life. After all, Wilde also wrote: “Live the wonderful life that is in you! Let nothing be lost upon you. Be always searching for new sensations. Be afraid of nothing.”8. Which would be considered as “Buddhist” by Chinese Internet users?A. A man refusing to date with girls.B. A person refusing others advice.C. A parent caring too much about his child.D. A student never working extra hours.9. What does the underlined word “demotivational” in paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Full of energy.B. Lacking motivation.C. Physically healthy.D. Absent-minded10. Whats the writers suggestion to “Buddhist youngsters”？A. Being positive.B. Being cooperative.C. Being considerate.D. Being content11. What is the best title of the passage?A. Peaceful, or aimless?B. Foxi is popular nowadays.C. What should Buddhist youngsters do?D. Foxi helps live a wonderful life.【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. A【解析】【分析】這是一篇議論文。本文闡述了“佛系”的概念，闡述了人們對于“佛系”的看法，并且將“佛系”和“消極文化”（demotivational culture）作比較，最后建議人們不僅要淡然更要積極的態(tài)度對待人生。【8題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“Buddhist students” are those who study just the right amount - they dont cut class, but they dont burn the midnight oil, either.”可知，“佛教徒學(xué)生”是那些學(xué)習(xí)量適中的人-那些不逃課，但也不熬夜學(xué)習(xí)的學(xué)生被稱為“佛系學(xué)生”，這些人就是“佛系”的代表。故D選項(xiàng)正確。【9題詳解】詞義猜測題。破折后后面的內(nèi)容是對demotivational culture 的解釋說明。根據(jù)破折后后面的內(nèi)容可知，demotivational culture描述的是那些生活沒有目標(biāo) ，沒有力量的年輕人。年輕人正在失去戰(zhàn)斗的意志。他們假裝對失敗保持健康和明智的態(tài)度，僅僅是因?yàn)樗麄儫o法成功。 由此可知，這些人缺乏前進(jìn)的動力。故B選項(xiàng)正確。【10題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“You may want to keep a calm mindset regarding failure, but you should also be passionate about school, work and life.”可知，你可能想保持冷靜的心態(tài)，但你也應(yīng)該對學(xué)習(xí)、工作和生活充滿激情。即：保持積極向上的態(tài)度。故A選項(xiàng)正確?！?1題詳解】標(biāo)題歸納題。本文闡述了“佛系”的概念，闡述了人們對于“佛系”的看法，并且將“佛系”和“消極文化”（demotivational culture）作比較，最后建議人們對待人生不僅要淡然更要積極的態(tài)度。故A選項(xiàng)適合作標(biāo)題：Peaceful, or aimless？首先，以問題為標(biāo)題可以引起人們閱讀的興趣。并且，文章對該問題最終做了回答：要平和，但不要漫無目的，沒有動力。要有積極向上的生活態(tài)度。故選A?！军c(diǎn)睛】依據(jù)標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號猜測詞義：標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號是詞義猜測的最直接，最簡單的信號詞。比如，破折號（ - ）、冒號 ( ： ) 常常起解釋說明的功能，引號（）和（ ( ) ）有時也起到相同的作用。例如第二小題破折后面的內(nèi)容就是對demotivational culture的解釋說明。根據(jù)后面的內(nèi)容可以判斷出“demotivational culture”的含義。DOn April 14th，2010，my entire life changed in an instantOne moment I was joyfully riding through the sunshineThe next moment，metal，flesh and bone were spreading against the pavement in a thunderous crashAnother cyclist，biking carelessly，had cut me off and sent me supermanning toward oncoming trafficAs if to symbolize the accident that had hit my life，another disaster also occurred on April 14th，2010It cost the airline industryl.7 billionTen million travelers were stuck for daysEconomies all over the world were disturbedThis was the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull，one of Icelands many volcanoesHowever，volcanoes are not all badIn fact，they are necessaryThey are responsible for the birth of new earth，and for the creation of rich soilThis eruption gave off 0.15 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere dailyBut cancelling 48% of the worlds flight travel saved about 2.8 million tons of CO from entering the atmosphere，temporarily decreasing our carbon footprintSimilarly，the accident had badly affected my emotion but it also allowed me to look more closely inside myself and discover things about myself I never would have realizedI learned how not to judge myself for my new limitationsIn 1973，another Icelandic volcano，Eldfell，broke outIcelanders decided to bomb it with cold water until it froze and chose a different pathAfter their plan worked，they used the geothermal （地?zé)幔?energy for the next 15years to heat their homesA good example of life bringing lemons，and making lemonade!

Another cyclist，biking carelessly，had cut me off and sent me supermanning toward oncoming traffic”可知，作者本來在陽光下快樂地騎著車。接著，金屬、肉和骨頭在一聲雷鳴般的轟隆聲中飛濺在人行道上。另一個騎自行車的人，由于粗心行駛，撞到了作者，使得作者像超人一樣朝著迎面而來的車輛飛去。由此可知，作者在騎自行車的時候嚴(yán)重受傷。故D選項(xiàng)正確?！?3題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Economies all over the world were disturbedThis was the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull，one of Icelands many volcanoes”可知，世界各地的經(jīng)濟(jì)都受到了影響，這是冰島眾多火山之一埃亞菲亞拉約克火山的爆發(fā)的造成的后果。故A選項(xiàng)正確?！?4題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“In 1973，another Icelandic volcano，Endwell，broke outIcelanders decided to bomb it with cold water After their plan worked，they used the geothermal （地?zé)幔?energy for the next 15years to heat their homes”可知，冰島人在Eldfell火山爆發(fā)后，充分利用其產(chǎn)生的地?zé)崮茉丛诮酉聛淼?5年里供家庭取暖。因此，作者利用這個例子說明：一個人必須擺脫不幸，只關(guān)注現(xiàn)在時刻，對未來充滿希望（One must move on from misfortunes，focusing only on the present moment and being hopeful for the future）。由此可以推知，作者提到Endwell火山的目的是想表明我們要充分利用既定情況。故C選項(xiàng)正確?！?5題詳解】標(biāo)題歸納題。作者在文中以自己遭受交通事故、Eyjafjallajokull火山、Eldfell火山為例來說明，當(dāng)不幸的事情發(fā)生之后，我們可以充分利用既定情況，想辦法把“不幸”變?yōu)椤昂檬隆?。由此可知，這篇文章主要講述的是作者從這些“不幸”中得到的啟發(fā)。故B選項(xiàng)正確。第二節(jié) (共5小題;每小題2分, 滿分10分)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余
