Although we wer

2、e all tied to lines running along the steel girders, a fellow climber called Mike had somehow managed to drop to one knee and turn to face his girlfriend, Wendy. I knew what was coming. "Wendy, will you marry me?" he asked. There was a quick smile and an attempted kiss and then a big beam.

3、 Mike had the answer he hoped for and all of us burst into a round of applause.Apparently more than 2,000 couples have become engaged at the summit since 1998, when it became possible to climb it in organised tour groups. The bridge, perhaps the most recognised symbol of this beautiful city, opened

4、in 1932. It's still the world's largest steel-arch bridge.We returned to the fantastic view; the famous Sydney Opera House, ferries and sailboats making their way through the harbour, the city skylinebut I had to force myself to look down. We had climbed 1,423 steps to the top of the bridge

5、and I didn't know whether to be delighted or scared.Nicole Kidman has done it. So have Bruce Springsteen, Prince Harry and scores of other celebrities. But climbing to the top clearly isn't just for the rich and the famous. On the contrary, Australian youngsters do it to celebrate their 12th

6、 birthdays. (You have to be at least 12 years old to do the climb.) A 100-year-old woman climbed it and told guides it was on her list of things to do before death.You can climb during the day, at twilight, or even after dark with headlamps. People climb in all weathers except when there's light

7、ning in the area. In fact, over two million people have made the three-and-a-half-hour climb to the top of the famous bridgean adventure that cannot be done anywhere else in the world on a bridge this big. That's probably why this climb has won a lot of tourism awards. Today, the climb is firmly

8、 on the "to-do list" for locals as well as tourists.1. What can we learn about the bridge?A. Getting engaged on the bridge is quite rare.B. People climb the bridge at climbers' age.C. There are no limitations on climbers' age.D. Many famous people have done the climb.2. How did the

9、 author feel when he climbed to the top of the bridge?答案以及解析第一部分閱讀理解第一節(jié)A答案：1-3.DCA解析：1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的前兩句話Nicole Kidman has done it. So have Bruce Springsteen, Prince Harry and scores of other celebrities.可矢Fl,許多名人都攀登過這座大橋。故 選D項(xiàng)。2. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句話 We had climbed 1,423 steps to the top of the bridge

10、and I didn't know whether to be delighted or scared.可知，作者的心情是既興奮又緊張的。故選C項(xiàng)。3. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容可知，作者的寫作目的是向我們介紹美麗的悉尼港灣大橋以及它 的受歡迎程度。故選A項(xiàng)。B答案：1-4.CDAB解析：1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第：段中fi'J"We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and

11、the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive."可知，我們通過別人的教導(dǎo)被動(dòng) 地獲得知識(shí)。在教室里的學(xué)習(xí)以及看電視、報(bào)紙或雜志時(shí)發(fā)生的學(xué)習(xí)都是被動(dòng)的。分析選項(xiàng) 可知C項(xiàng)符合題意。2. 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段中畫線詞的前后語境可知，本段主要介紹了被動(dòng)學(xué)習(xí)，我們習(xí)慣了 被動(dòng)學(xué)習(xí)，所以我們在與朋友和同事的日常交流中依賴它也就不足為奇了。故選Do3. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容可知，這個(gè)游戲的最后，原始的信息通常己經(jīng)發(fā)生了改變，而被 動(dòng)學(xué)習(xí)通常和這個(gè)游戲有很大的相似之處，故正

12、確選項(xiàng)為A。4. 推理判斷題。被動(dòng)學(xué)習(xí)和謠言游戲一樣，最后人們得到的信息和原始信息相比已經(jīng)發(fā)生了 很大的改變，所以被動(dòng)學(xué)習(xí)可能是不可靠的,故正確選項(xiàng)為B。C答案：1-4.CAAB解析：1.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)上文"the size of the human brain has become smaller over the past 20,000 years（在過去的兩萬年里，人類的大腦變小了廣及構(gòu)詞法down（往下，向下）和size（尺寸） 可推知,downsize意為”縮小;精簡”。speed”加速”;increase ”增加"decline ”減少"change

13、"改變 "o故選C項(xiàng)。2. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段中的"They found that brain size decreased as population density（密 度）increased."可知B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤;根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段內(nèi)容可知，黑猩猩的合作能力不如倭黑猩猩，所以 C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤;文中未涉及D項(xiàng)。綜合第四、五、六段的描述可知，人類大腦的大小與許多因素有 美，故選A項(xiàng)。3. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的"Hare said, 'chimpanzees are much less likely to accomplish it if

14、 it involves working together. Not so with bonobos.'"可知，如果一項(xiàng)工作需要合作，那么黑猩 猩完成這項(xiàng)工作的可能性就小得多。倭黑猩猩就不一樣了。即倭黑猩猩的合作能力比黑猩猩 強(qiáng)。故選A項(xiàng)。4. 標(biāo)題歸納題。文章主要圍繞人類的大腦變小了，這是否意味著人類這一個(gè)物種正變得越來越 聰明還是不太聰明而展開。所以B項(xiàng)"Smaller BrainLess Intelligent?（大腦越小越不聰明?）"適 合作本文標(biāo)題。故選B項(xiàng)。D答案：1-4.BDCC解析：1.寫作意圖題。引用名人名言、諺語等是文章開篇的常見寫作方

15、式，且大多用來引出文 章的話題。但是根據(jù)此諺語后面的"Well, that is not true. Unkind words, name-calling or even the so-called 'the silent treatment1 can hurt children as much as being physically hit, sometimes even more so.”可知,本文引用這個(gè)諺語恰恰是為了引出一個(gè)不同的或者說是相反的觀點(diǎn)。2. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的"These young men and women had not ever

16、 been treated in a cruel or violent way by their parents."可知,這些實(shí)驗(yàn)對象都沒有遭受過父母的殘酷或暴力對 待。也就是說，他們在家里都沒受到過身體上的虐待。故選D。3. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段"Parents cannot control what other people say to their children, but they can prepare their children."可知,作者接I、來應(yīng)該會(huì)就”父母如何幫助自己的 孩子為可能遭受的語言暴力做好準(zhǔn)備，使他們不會(huì)受到語言暴力的影響

17、”這一問題給出一些 方法或建議。4. 主旨大意題。文章介紹了語言暴力對孩子的不良影響。根據(jù)文中的"verbalf言語的）abuse by other children can harm development in the brain"可以看出，語言暴力主要影響孩子的大腦發(fā) 育。故選C。第二節(jié)答案:CBGDF解析：根據(jù)上文"Before COVID-19, self-carecaring for ourselves-may have not been a priority for many people.（在COVID-19之前,自我護(hù)理一照顧自己一可能不是許多人

18、的優(yōu)先事 項(xiàng)）“結(jié)合后文提出了-些自我護(hù)理的方法，可知本句與上文構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折，指出自我護(hù)理的重要 性。故C選項(xiàng)”但是現(xiàn)在它比平時(shí)更重要”符合語境，故選d 據(jù)后文"For some people, self-care may be simply slowing down. It can also mean controlling parts of your life that you can control. This is important when the world around you feels out of control對一些人來說，自我護(hù)理可能只是慢了下來。它也可以指控制

19、你生活中你能控制的部 分。當(dāng)你感到周圍的世界失控時(shí)，這一點(diǎn)很重要）”可知，本段關(guān)于自我護(hù)理的方法是慢下來,B 選項(xiàng)中Slow down對應(yīng)后文中slowing down。故B選項(xiàng)”慢下來，感覺一切盡在掌握"符合語境, 故選Bo 根據(jù)小標(biāo)題"Learn something new（學(xué)習(xí)新事物廣以及上文"For some people, self-care might include doing things they have always wanted to do but never made time for.（對一些人來說，自 我照顧可能包括做一些他們一直想做

20、但從來沒有時(shí)間做的事情廣可知，本段提出的建議是學(xué) 習(xí)新事物,本句為本段最后一句，應(yīng)舉例說明可以學(xué)習(xí)哪些新事物。故G選項(xiàng)“這些事情包括烘 焙、園藝、學(xué)習(xí)一門新語言或其他一些新技能”符合語境，故選G。 根據(jù)上文"However; meeting with a mental health professional may not be possible for some people.f然而,對一些人來說，與心理健康專業(yè)人士見面可能是不可能的廣以及后文"Meditating, writing about your feelings and problems, and organi

21、zing the physical space around you are all forms of self-care.（冥想,寫下你的感受和問題，整理你周圍的物理空間，這些都是自我照顧的形 式廣可知，I:文提到與心理健康專業(yè)人士見面不可能,后文則提到了其它自我照顧的方式，可知 本句與上文構(gòu)成因果關(guān)系,指出醫(yī)生對在大流行期間減少壓力的其他方法有建議。故D選項(xiàng)” 因此,醫(yī)生對在大流行期間減少壓力的其他方法有建議”符合語境，故選D。 根據(jù)上文"It can help to have a routinea usual way of doing things. But experts s

22、ay keep the routine simple.（養(yǎng)成一種例行公事的習(xí)慣是有幫助的。但專家表示，保持簡單的作息習(xí)慣尸可 知,上文提到專家建議保持簡單的作息習(xí)慣,F選項(xiàng)中routine對應(yīng)上文中routine。故F選項(xiàng)” 同樣重要的是，如果你不堅(jiān)持你的日常生活，不要對自己太苛刻”符合語境，故選F。第二部分語言知識(shí)運(yùn)用第一節(jié)答案：1-5 CDCAB 6-10 BCDBA 11-15 ACDBA解析：1.考查形容詞詞義辨析。句意：一天，他告訴他的妻子，他對這個(gè)城市非常失望，以 至不得不離開o inspired品質(zhì)優(yōu)秀的，有靈感的；satisfied滿意的；disappointed失望的； en

Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. We are used to pass

41、ive learning, and it's not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers. Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay and rumour.Did you ever play the game

42、Rumour? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn't show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person.

49、izing in an evolutionary eye blink （眨眼）,"John Hawks told Discover magazine.Why is the brain becoming smaller?There are different theories to explain it. One is that tens of thousands of years ago, to survive in cold and dangerous conditions, humans needed a stronger and larger body and therefor

50、e, a larger head. Also they had to chew the tough meat of rabbits, foxes and horses. As conditions improved, the brain stopped growing, according to supporters of this theory.Another theory comes from a recent study by David Geary and Drew Bailey. They found that brain size decreased as population d

51、ensity （密度）increased."As complex societies appeared, the brain became smaller because people did not have to be that smart to stay alive," Geary told AFP（法新社）.But smaller brain size does not necessarily mean that modem humans are less smart than their ancestors. "Modem humans simply d

52、eveloped different, more complex forms of intelligence," said Brian Hare.Hare's studies focus on two types of great apes: chimpanzees and bonobos. Both are much like humans, but are physically quite different from one another. The bonobo has a smaller brain than the chimpanzee, and is also

53、much less aggressive and more tolerant."When it comes to working out a problem," Hare said, "chimpanzees are much less likely to accomplish it if it involves working together. Not so with bonobos.""The smaller brain in modern humans may be evidence that we can cooperate,&quo

54、t; Hare told the US National Public Radio.1. Which of the following words can be used to replace the underlined word in Paragraph 2?A. Speed.B.Increase.C.Decline.D.Change.2. We can learn from the passage that.A. the size of human brain has something to do with many factorsB. the brain size increases

58、eing physically hit, sometimes even more so.A recent study of middle school children showed that verbal（言語的）abuse by other children can harm development in the brain. The study was a project of researchers at Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts. Researcher Martin Teicher and his team studied you

59、ng adults, aged 18 to 25. These young men and women had not ever been treated in a cruel or violent way by their parents. The researchers asked the young people to rate their childhood exposure to verbal abuse from both parents and other children. Then the researchers performed imaging tests on the brains of the subjects.The images showed that the people who reported suffering verbal abuse from peers in middle school had underdeveloped connections between the left and right side of the brain. The two sides of the brain are connected by a large bundle of connecting f
