7、ed?AJules Skye.BGee Whizz.CCharlotte Stone. DJames Pickering.解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從題干的have your music produced判斷本題的答案出處在第一則廣告，該廣告說，“你是否有興趣成為音樂人，得到錄制唱片的合同？”然后說晚上7點(diǎn)半有Jules Skye的報(bào)告，因此選A項(xiàng)Jules Skye。根據(jù)本廣告最后一句話也可得出答案。答案：A2At which place can people of different ages enjoy a good laugh?AThe Cyclops Theatre. BKaleidosco

8、pe.CVictoria Stage. DPizza World.解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。帶著題干的“不同年齡的人歡笑”這個(gè)信息，我們?nèi)ミ@幾則廣告中尋找相關(guān)信息。答案在第二則廣告里，該廣告說，Gee Whizz是最滑稽的單口喜劇演員(stand­up comedian)，他的表演能夠讓所有人快樂，下至孩童上到老人(from the youngest to the oldest)。表演的地點(diǎn)是Kaleidoscope，因此選B項(xiàng)。答案：B3What do we know about Simon's Workshop?AIt requires membership status.BIt

9、 lasts three hours each time.CIt is run by a comedy club.DIt is held every Wednesday.解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。本題涉及第三則廣告的相關(guān)信息。從5.00pm7.30pmWednesdays at Victoria Stage可以判斷，該活動(dòng)每個(gè)星期三舉辦，故D項(xiàng)正確。每次兩個(gè)半小時(shí)，排除B項(xiàng)；文章沒有提到需要有會(huì)員資格，排除A項(xiàng)；也沒有提到喜劇俱樂部，排除C項(xiàng)。答案：D4When will Charlotte Stone perform her songs?A5.00pm7.30pm. B7.30pm1.00am.C8

10、.00pm11.00pm. D8.30pm10.30pm.解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從題干可知解本題的信息來自最后一則廣告，該廣告開頭就交代了時(shí)間：晚上8點(diǎn)到11點(diǎn)，因此選C項(xiàng)。答案：CBFive years ago，when I taught art at a school in Seattle，I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student，a

11、nd said：“Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes todayand 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the mode

12、l plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student.H

13、ere was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect (感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. W

14、ithout fail one would declare，“But I'm just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when you're asleep？”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.”The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads.“That's pret

15、ty creative. Who does that for you？”“Nobody. I do it.”“Reallyat night，when you're asleep？”“Sure.”“Try doing it in the daytime, in class，okay？”語篇解讀本文是一篇記敘文。作為一名教師，作者用一種玩具培養(yǎng)孩子們的創(chuàng)造性和動(dòng)手能力，其中一個(gè)孩子的創(chuàng)造性引起了作者的注意。5The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to _.Aknow more about the studentsBmake the le

16、ssons more excitingCraise the students' interest in artDteach the students about toy design解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從題干的in order to判斷，本題詢問作者在課堂使用這種玩具的目的，第一段提到as a test.to find out something about my students，由此可知作者的目的是更多地了解自己的學(xué)生，因此選A項(xiàng)。B項(xiàng)“讓課程更激動(dòng)人心”，C項(xiàng)“提高學(xué)生們對(duì)藝術(shù)的興趣”，D項(xiàng)“教學(xué)生玩具設(shè)計(jì)”，均不是作者的目的。答案：A6What do we know about

17、the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?AHe liked to help his teacher.BHe preferred to study alone.CHe was active in class.DHe was imaginative.解析：推理判斷題。第三段作者描述這個(gè)學(xué)生，說他特別有創(chuàng)造性(was an exceptionally creative mind at work)，因此選D項(xiàng)。imaginative有想象力的。作者在該段說他的創(chuàng)造力能夠感染班上其他學(xué)生，這讓作者意外地有了一個(gè)教學(xué)幫手，沒有說他喜歡幫助老師(A項(xiàng)錯(cuò))，文章沒有提到他更喜歡獨(dú)自一

18、個(gè)人學(xué)習(xí)(B項(xiàng)錯(cuò))，也沒有提到他在課堂上非?；钴S(C項(xiàng)錯(cuò))。答案：D7What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?AMistake. BDrawback.CDifficulty. DBurden.解析：詞義猜測題。前文提到作者很喜愛這個(gè)學(xué)生，說這個(gè)學(xué)生的創(chuàng)造性能夠感染其他學(xué)生，下文說“冒著失去那些有不同的思考風(fēng)格的學(xué)生的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)”，根據(jù)語境前后的對(duì)比判斷，downside的含義應(yīng)該是drawback“不利條件，缺點(diǎn)”，而不是mistake“錯(cuò)誤”，difficulty“困難”，burden“負(fù)擔(dān)”。答案

19、：B8Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?ATo help them to see their creativity.BTo find out about their sleeping habits.CTo help them to improve their memory.DTo find out about their ways of thinking.解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)題干信息可知本題考查的是文章后半部分對(duì)話的信息。作者鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生講述他們最有趣的夢，然后鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生說，“白天在課堂上也試一試做夢，好

20、嗎？”由此推斷，作者讓學(xué)生講述他們的夢，是為了幫助學(xué)生看到自己的創(chuàng)造性，因此選A項(xiàng)。B項(xiàng)“為了弄清楚他們的睡眠習(xí)慣”，C項(xiàng)“為了幫助他們提高記憶力”，D項(xiàng)“為了弄清楚他們的思維方式”，均不是作者的目的。答案：ACReading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now the website BookC turns the page on the traditional

21、idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new

BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book w

23、ill go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E­mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to b

24、e selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual (虛擬)The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty­five countries.語篇解讀本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了一個(gè)圖書漂流的網(wǎng)站，該網(wǎng)站鼓勵(lì)人們

25、拿出自己的圖書與他人分享，如今超過135個(gè)國家的一百多萬人成為該網(wǎng)站的會(huì)員。9Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?ATo explain what they are.BTo introduce BookCrossing.CTo stress the importance of reading.DTo encourage readers to share their ideas.解析：推理判斷題。由題干定位到第一段，該段首先說閱讀是一種社會(huì)性的活動(dòng)，然后談到讀書小組(book groups)，接下來說到Bo

26、okCrossing這個(gè)網(wǎng)站，說該網(wǎng)站給傳統(tǒng)的讀書小組翻開了新的一頁(turns the page on)，然后逐段介紹這個(gè)網(wǎng)站的做法，由此推斷，介紹讀書小組的目的是引出這個(gè)網(wǎng)站，因此選B項(xiàng)。A項(xiàng)“解釋它們的含義”，C項(xiàng)“強(qiáng)調(diào)閱讀的重要性”，D項(xiàng)“鼓勵(lì)讀者分享他們的觀點(diǎn)”，均不是作者提到讀書小組的目的，可排除。答案：B10What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?AThe book.BAn adventure.CA public place.DThe identification number.解析：詞義猜測題。畫線詞

27、在第二段，該段詳細(xì)介紹這個(gè)網(wǎng)站的具體做法：會(huì)員去網(wǎng)站登記自己愿意分享的書，網(wǎng)站給這本書一個(gè)身份編號(hào)并貼在書中，主人把書留在公共場所，希望這本書會(huì)跟“找到它的每個(gè)新讀者”一起旅行。由此可知代詞it指前文提到的the book。B項(xiàng)“一次冒險(xiǎn)”，C項(xiàng)“一處公共場所”，D項(xiàng)“身份編號(hào)”，均不是it所指的內(nèi)容。答案：A11What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?AMeet other readers to discuss it.BKeep it safe in his bookcase.CPass it on to another

28、 reader.DMail it back to its owner.解析：推理判斷題。從題干中的after reading it判斷答案在第四段。該段說，人們?cè)诳赐暌槐緯缶桶褧粼诠珗@的長凳、公共汽車、火車站及咖啡館等地方，下一位找到這本書的人就到網(wǎng)站上記錄他們找到這本書的地點(diǎn)，由此可推斷選C項(xiàng)“把書繼續(xù)傳遞給另一位讀者”。A項(xiàng)“與其他讀者會(huì)面，討論這本書”，B項(xiàng)“把書妥善保存在書架上”，D項(xiàng)“把書郵寄給他的主人”，均不是會(huì)員的做法。答案：C12What is the best title for the text?AOnline Reading：A Virtual TourBElect

29、ronic Books：A New TrendCA Book Group Brings Tradition BackDA Website Links People through Books解析：標(biāo)題歸納題。本文主要介紹了BookCrossing這個(gè)網(wǎng)站，因此這篇文章的標(biāo)題應(yīng)體現(xiàn)出“網(wǎng)站”這一關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)，再根據(jù)第三段中的the people you meet and books you read可知只有D項(xiàng)涵蓋了這些信息。答案：DDA new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.Fran

30、k Hurley's pictures would be outstandingundoubtedly first­rate photo­journalismif they had been made last week. In fact，they were shot from 1914 through 1916，most of them after a disastrous shipwreck (海難)，by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images

31、were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water，in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian­built three­master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antar

32、ctica's Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled (雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions o

34、film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant­navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photograph

35、er who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.語篇解讀本文是一篇記敘文。1914年到1916年間，一群海員和科學(xué)家踏上了南極探險(xiǎn)之路。結(jié)果他們?cè)诨貋淼穆飞习l(fā)生海難，其中一個(gè)攝影師在臨死之前拍攝了大量的照片，并把照片封存在破損的木船的冰塊箱里。通過這些照片我們可以了解到那次不太成功的探險(xiǎn)經(jīng)歷。13What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?AThey were made last w

36、eek.BThey showed undersea sceneries.CThey were found by a cameraman.DThey recorded a disastrous adventure.解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由題干中的the photos taken by Hurley定位到文章第二段開頭。該段說這些照片即使是上個(gè)星期拍的也堪稱佳作，故A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；該段中還說照片是在一次海難之后拍的，故D項(xiàng)正確；文章沒有說拍攝的是海底景觀，故B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；拍攝者是攝影師，但沒有說是一名攝影師發(fā)現(xiàn)了這些照片，故C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。答案：D14Who reached the South Pole first

37、according to the text?AFrank Hurley. BErnest Shackleton.CRobert Falcon Scott. DCaroline Alexander.解析：推理判斷題。由題干中的“第一個(gè)到達(dá)南極”這條信息定位到第三段。被發(fā)現(xiàn)的照片所展示的這次旅行是為了獲得比Robert Falcon Scott船長先前的探險(xiǎn)更大的收獲，該船長在1912年就到達(dá)了南極。由此推斷Robert Falcon Scott是最先到達(dá)南極的人，故選C項(xiàng)。答案：C15What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 vo

38、yage?AArtistic creation. BScientific research.CMoney making. DTreasure hunting.解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題干的Alexander在最后一段出現(xiàn)，the 1914 voyage指本文談到的Endurance這艘船的探險(xiǎn)，該段開頭說，這個(gè)作家在她的小說The Endurance中說，在那時(shí)，探險(xiǎn)就已經(jīng)是純商業(yè)活動(dòng)(a thoroughly commercial effort)了，因此1914年航行的目的是賺錢(money making)，故選C項(xiàng)。A項(xiàng)“藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作”，B項(xiàng)“科學(xué)調(diào)研”，D項(xiàng)“尋寶”，均未體現(xiàn)。答案：C第二節(jié)(共5
