25、滿分40分)第一節(jié)(共15小題;每小題2分,滿分30分)閱讀下面短文,從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中,選出最佳選項。AWilliam Butler Yeats,a most famous Irish writer,was born in Dublin on June 13,1865.His childhood lacked the harmony(和睦)that was typical of a happy family.Later,Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “l(fā)ittle of childhood but

26、 its pain”.In fact,he inherited(繼承)excellent taste in art from his familyboth his father and his brother were painters.But he finally settled on literature,particularly drama(戲劇)and poetry.Yeats had strong faith in the coming of new artistic movements.He set himself the fresh task in founding an Iri

27、sh national theatre in the late 1890s.His early theatrical experiments,however,were not received favourably at the beginning.He didnt lose heart,and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.Compared with his dramatic works,Yeatss poems attract much admiring notice.The subject matter includes lo

28、ve,nature,history,time and aging.Though Yeats generally depended on very traditional forms,he brought modern sensibility to them.As his literary life progressed,his poetry grew finer and richer,which led him to worldwide recognition.He had not enjoyed a major public lift since winning the Nobel Priz

29、e in 1923.Yet,he continued writing almost to the end of his life.Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40,he would probably now be valued as a minor poet,for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75.After Yeatss death in 1939,W.

31、ally wealthy family.D.It had an artistic atmosphere.解析：細節(jié)理解題。由“In fact,he inherited(繼承) excellent taste in art from his familyboth his father and his brother were painters.”一句可知,葉芝家中有良好的藝術氛圍。答案：D22According to the passage,what do we know about Yeatss life?A.Yeats founded the first Irish theatre.B.Ye

32、ats stuck to modern forms in his poetry.C.Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.D.Yeats was not favoured by the public until the 1923 Nobel Prize.解析：推理判斷題。由“.,was born in Dublin on June 13,1865.”及“Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40,he would probably now be valued as a minor poet .the

34、 influence.C.Yeatss artistic ambition.D.Yeatss national honour.解析：主旨大意題。本文主要講了葉芝一生在文學方面取得的成就。答案：ABMy family and I lived across the street from Southway Park since I was four years old.Then just last year the city put a chain-link fence around the park and started bulldozing(用推土機推平)the trees and gras

35、s to make way for a new apartment complex.When I saw the fence and bulldozers,I asked myself,“Why dont they just leave it alone?”Looking back,I think what sentenced the park to oblivion(被遺忘)was the drought(旱災)we had about four years ago.Up until then,Southway Park was a nice green park with plenty o

36、f trees and a public swimming pool.My friends and I rollerskated on the sidewalks,climbed the trees,and swam in the pool all the years I was growing up.The park was almost like my own yard.Then the summer I was fifteen the drought came and things changed.There had been almost no rain at all that yea

37、r.The city stopped watering the park grass.Within a few weeks I found myself living across the street from a huge brown desert.Leaves fell off the park trees,and pretty soon the trees started dying,too.Next,the park swimming pool was closed.The city cut down on the work force that kept the park,and

38、pretty soon it just got too ugly and dirty to enjoy anymore.As the drought lasted into the fall,the park got worse every month.The rubbish piled up or blew across the brown grass.Soon the only people in the park were beggars and other people down on their luck.People said drugs were being sold or tr

39、aded there now.The park had gotten scary,and my mother told us kids not to go there anymore.The drought finally ended and things seemed to get back to normal,that is,everything but the park.It had gotten into such bad shape that the city just let it stay that way.Then about six months ago I heard th

40、at the city was going to “redevelop” certain worn-out areas of the city.It turned out that the city had planned to get rid of the park,sell the land and let someone build rows of apartment buildings on it.The chain-link fencing and the bulldozers did their work.Now we live across the street from six

41、 rows of apartment buildings.Each of them is three units high and stretches a block in each direction.The neighborhood has changed without the park.The streets I used to play in are jammed with cars now.Things will never be the same again.Sometimes I wonder,though,what changes another drought would

42、make in the way things are today. 25How did the writer feel when he saw the fence and bulldozers?A.Scared.B.Confused.C.Upset.D.Curious.解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段敘述了解到作者從四歲開始住在Southway Park對面。從第二段可知,作者小時候和朋友在公園里玩耍,而現(xiàn)在公園被圍了起來,自己不能去玩了,而且樹都被砍掉了,所以作者感到很失望、沮喪。答案：C26Why was the writer told not to go to the park b

43、y his mother?A.It was being rebuilt.B.It was dangerous.C.It became crowded.D.It had turned into a desert.解析：細節(jié)理解題。仔細閱讀第四段,可以了解到,公園廢棄了,里面住著流浪漢,甚至有人販毒,所以母親叮囑“我”們不要去那里,因為危險。答案：B27According to the writer,what eventually brought about the disappearance of the park?A.The drought.B.The crime.C.The beggars

44、and the rubbish.D.The decisions of the city.解析：推理判斷題。從第五段可知,干旱結束了,但是政府仍然對公園不管不問,后來要重新規(guī)劃這塊廢棄地,在作者眼中是“the city had planned to get rid of the park”。故選擇D項。答案：D28The last sentence of the passage implies that if another drought came,. A.the situation would be much worseB.people would have to desert t

45、heir homesC.the city would be fully prepared in advanceD.the city would have to redevelop the neighborhood解析：推理判斷題。最后一段作者描述了目前自己居住的街道的變化,從而有了另一種思考:如果再來一次干旱,是否會造成如這次干旱一樣的一些變化。由此可推測作者是在說環(huán)境會變得更加糟糕。答案：ACUsing too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water

46、 supply in danger,but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways.You may wonder how paving(鋪砌) a road can lead to less useable fresh water.A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater.Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers.It comes from underground.The more roads and p

47、arking lots we pave,the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages(短缺).Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱) than areas with more rainfall,but in any case,good management can help to make sure there is e

48、nough water to meet our basic needs.Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference,too.In the United States,a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day!This shows how much we depend on water to live,but theres a lot we can do to lower the number.You can take steps to sa

49、ve water in your home.To start with,use the same glass for your drinking water all day.Wash it only once a day.Run your dishwasher (洗碗機) only when it is full.Help your parents fix any leaks in your home.You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them

50、away.29Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater?A.Using river water.B.Throwing batteries away.C.Paving parking lots.D.Throwing rubbish into lakes.解析：細節(jié)理解題。從第一段的最后一句可知,我們修的路和停車場越多,流入地下的水就會越少。故選C項(鋪砌停車場)。答案：C30What can be inferred from the text?A.All water shortages are due to

51、 human behavior.B.It takes a lot of effort to meet our water needs.C.There is much we can do to reduce family size.D.The average family in America makes proper use of water.解析：推理判斷題。第三段的第二句提到一個美國家庭一天就用1.5噸水;最后一句又提到“我們可以做很多事來減少這個用水量”,從這里可以推斷出B項正確。答案：B31The last paragraph is intended to . A.show

52、us how to fix leaks at home B.tell us how to run a dishwasher C.prove what drinking glass is best for us D.suggest what we can do to save water at home解析：目的意圖題。最后一段的第一句是作者表達的意圖:在家里你可以采取措施節(jié)約用水。故選D項。答案：D32The text is mainly about . A.why paving roads reduces our water B.how much we depend on wate

53、r to live C.why droughts occur more in dry climatesD.how human activity affects our water supply解析：主旨大意題。第一段就是主題所在:用水過多或者把垃圾扔進河里,就是這樣的人類行為讓我們的水資源處于匱乏之中,但也以一些不太明顯的方式影響到我們的用水供應。后面的篇幅主要圍繞人類如何影響水資源展開的。故選D項。答案：DDLondons newest skyscraper(摩天大樓) is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to b

54、uild.At a height of almost 310 metres,it is the tallest building in Europe.The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London.However,not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano.When he began designing the Shard for

55、 London,Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire(尖頂).He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city.The sides of the building arent regular.So the building has an unusual shape.It looks like a very thin,sharp piece of broken glass.And that is how the building got the

56、name:the Shard.Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition.The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts(桅桿) of the ships that were once on the river Thames.The Shard has 87 floors.At the top,there is an observatory.At the moment

57、 the building is empty,but eventually there will be a five-star hotel.There will also be top quality restaurants,apartments and offices.Before building work began,a lot of people didnt want the Shard though the plans were approved.Now they are still unhappy about the Shard.Some critics say that such

58、 a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York,but not in London.They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape.But that is the only thing.There is no decoration,only flat surfaces.The Egyptians did that 4,500 years ago.They also think the Shard is too big for London.It destroys the
