national park before,yet I wasnt the most athletic person so I knew that I couldnt stick through all the hiking up and down.It actually ended up being a fun and adventurous experience.The ride there was definitely long but worth it.As I woke up from my nap,I saw the beautiful scenery of the tall mountains and beautiful streams.The trails were made nicely for visitors.The waterfalls were breathtaking.Climbing up rocks was one of my favorite parts.Even though I fell a couple of times,I still had a lot of fun.The fact that my family and I spent so much time together all trying to find out which route to take and what views to watch really brought us closer together.The great thing about nature is that,its just you,the views,and the people around you.Theres nothing to bother you and its the best way to relax and enjoy yourself.Yosemite has 5 of the worlds highest waterfalls,and about 300 lakes.The structure of each mountain is incredible;its formed in ways that almost take your breath away.Some of them are of a deep dark color with waterfalls forming;some are formed with spots of green peeking(窥探) out.Its definitely something you wouldnt want to miss.Yosemite isnt the only great national park but based on my experience I highly recommend going out and enjoying nature with family and friends.Its a great time to bond,laugh,and take in what Mother Nature offers.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述自己和家人一起自驾游览Yosemite公园的经历,建议人们多去户外亲近大自然。24.The author writes the first paragraph mainly to .A.introduce the topic of this passageB.offer an example to usC.tell us his future plan for hikingD.describe a national park答案A解析作者意图题。通读全文尤其是第一段的第一句“Driving on up to Yosemite with my family was exciting but nerve-racking.”可知,文章主要介绍了作者和家人去Yosemite公园游玩的经历;据此可以判断,第一段旨在引出文章主题,故A项正确。25.While climbing up rocks,the author was .A.nerve-rackingB.injuredC.pleasedD.worried答案C解析细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Climbing up rocks was one of my favorite parts.Even though I fell a couple of times,I still had a lot of fun.”可知,攀岩是作者最喜欢的项目,作者从中体会到了许多乐趣。C项意为“高兴的”,符合语境,故C项正确。26.According to the passage,Yosemite .A.is crowded with

recent article from The Wall Street Journal,technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that,within a decade or so,well be able to communicate with one another via small earpieces with built-in microphones.Thats because technological progress is extremely rapid.Its only a matter of time.Indeed,some parents are so convinced that this technology is imminent that theyre wondering if their kids should even learn a second language.Its true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating “No es bueno dormir mucho” as “Its not good to sleep too much”.Replacing a word with its equivalent(对应词) in the target language is actually the “easy part” of a translators job.But even this seems to be a discouraging task for computers.Its so difficult for computers because translation doesntor shouldntinvolve simply translating words,sentences or paragraphs.Rather,its about translating meaning.And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression,humans have to interpret a mass of information at the same time.Think about all the related clues that go into understanding an expression:volume,gesture,situation,and even your culture.All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use.Therefore,we should be very skeptical of a machine that is unable to interpret the world around us.If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it,how can we expect a machine to do better?Unless engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer,undoubtedly when it comes to conveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language,a machine will never fully take our place.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。技术专家说随着技术的进步,即时翻译机器将在十年左右在市场上出现。但是,由于翻译包括很多方面,因此电脑翻译不会很精确,也不会完全取代人类的翻译。28.What does the underlined word “imminent” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Ready.B.Approaching.C.Helpful.D.Advanced.答案B解析词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的前一句“Its only a matter of time.”并结合第二段的第一句可知,这种产品在十年左右会在市场上出现,再结合画线词后的“that theyre wondering if their kids should even learn a second language”可以判断,这种产品即将出现,家长们在考虑他们的孩子是否要学习一门外语。据此可知,画线词意为“即将发生的,临近的”,故B项正确。29.Why is it hard for computers to replace a word with its equivalent?A.Their data is not adequate enough.B.The real meaning of words can vary.C.Their accuracy needs big improvement.D.A soul hasnt been breathed in them.答案B解析细节理解题。根据第四段的“Its so difficult for computers because translation doesntor shouldnt.paragraphs.”并结合第五段的内容可知,由于一个词的意思可能有很多,电脑难以用某个对应词代替这个词,故B项正确。30.What view does the author hold about translation?A.Proper translation can be tough for humans.B.Slight distinctions matter little in translation.C.Some machines will interpret our world properly.D.Cultures deserve more attention than words used.答案A解析推理判断题。根据最后一段的“If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it,how can we expect a machine to do better?”可知,来自不同文化背景的人会互相冒犯却没有意识到。据此可以判断,由于文化背景不同,正确的翻译对于人来讲是很困难的,故A项正确。31.What is the best title for the text?A.An Experts Precise PredictionB.The Complexity of TranslationC.Who Will Be a Better TranslatorD.Will Language Barrier Actually Fall答案D解析标题判断题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了未来的一种即时翻译机器,但是同时提出由于语言中有许多对应词,这种机器无法精确翻译,另外因为文化背景的不同,有时人们自己也无法精确地翻译。据此可以判断,作者旨在说明在将来能否消除语言障碍,故D项最适合作本文标题。D(2017河南郑州第二次质量预测)When people argue about whether coffee is good for health,theyre usually thinking of the health of the coffee drinker.Is it good for your heart?Does it increase blood pressure?Does it help you concentrate?However,coffee affects the health of the human population in other ways,too.Traditionally,coffee bushes are planted under the canopy(树荫) of taller trees.However,more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffee.At first,this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted if there arent any trees.With increased production come increased profits.Unfortunately,deforesting for coffee production immediately decreases the local wildlife habitat,because native birds nest and hide from predators(捕食者) on the tall trees and migrating birds rest there.Furthermore,in the long term,the full-sun method also damages the ecosystem because more chemical fertilizers and pesticides(杀虫剂) are needed to grow the coffee.The fertilizers and pesticides kill insects that eat coffee plants,and then the birds eat the poisoned insects and also die.The chemicals kill or sicken other animals as well,and can even enter the water that people will eventually drink.Fortunately,farmers in Central and South America are beginning to grow more coffee bushes in the shade.We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as “shade-grown” and “bird-friendly”.Sure,these varieties might cost a little more.But were paying for the health of the birds,the land,ourselves,and the planet.I think its worth it.【解题导语】本文是一篇科普说明文,通过拉丁美洲的农民种植咖啡作物的事例说明了咖啡作物长在树下对生态系统的重要性。32.Which opinion does the author agree with?A.People should buy full-sun coffee.B.Shade-grown coffee should be supported.C.Farmers should change the places to grow coffee.D.Pesticides should be forbidden in coffee planting.答案B解析细节理解题。根据第五段的第二句“We can support these farmers by buying coffee with such labels as shade-grown and bird-friendly.”可知,作者支持农民种植对鸟类无害的长在树下的咖啡作物,故B项正确。根据第三、四段可知,砍伐树林来种植咖啡作物这种方法使鸟类栖息地的数量大为减少,从长远角度看,这种方法破坏了生态系统,据此可知,A项错误;C、D项文中没有提及。33.Compared with the traditional method,what advantage does the full-sun method have?A.It can protect the ecosystem.B.It can promote peoples health.C.It can provide more nests for birds.D.It can increase the production of coffee.答案D解析细节理解题。根据第二段的最后两句“At first,this increases production because more coffee bushes can be planted if there arent any trees.With increased production come increased profits.”可知,全阳光照射这种方法能提高咖啡豆的产量,增加利润,故D项正确。根据第四段的第一句可知,该种种植方法破坏了生态系统,故A项错误;根据第四段的最后一句可知,B项与文章不符;根据第三段可知,这种方法使鸟类栖息地的数量大为减少,故C项错误。34.How do farmers get more land to grow full-sun coffee?A.They cut down trees.B.They move to other countries.C.They turn grassland into farmland.D.They buy more land from other farmers.答案A解析细节理解题。根据第二段的第二句“However,more and more farmers in Latin America are deforesting the land to grow full-sun coffee.”可知,农民通过砍伐树林来种植全阳光照射的咖啡作物,故A项正确。35.What can we learn from the passage?A.It is quite worthwhile to buy shade-grown coffee at any cost.B.Farmers all have realized the importance of protecting the environment now.C.South American farmers are taking action to plant coffee bushe
