M: Yes, according to my research, the Cavendish banana, the type brought in to Australia, first grew in China but they were taken to London before they got to Australia. W: What happened at that time? M: Well, an Englishman was so fond of bananas that he grew them in his hothouse, a place where the banana had to be grown in England because of the cool climate. He was the one responsible for growing the banana introduced in to Australia. W: I see. And weve been growing them ever since? M: Yes. W: Are they hard to grow? M: Well, yes. To get one bunch of bananas per tree took up to three years at first. But this period is greatly reduced with modern growing methods. W: So how long does it take now? One year? Two years? M: No, around 15 months in good conditions. After the fruit has been removed, the plants are cut down. W: Then what can we do about them? M: It is an interesting question. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. Why does the speaker dislike translators? A. They are unfit for higher level learners. B.

B 【解析】 【原文】Recently, I have noticed that my students often rely on translators to help them with new vocabulary. Students like them because they can see new words in both their native language and English. Unfortunately, translators are not all created equally and I have seen some rather strange translations, so I recommend my students, especially at the higher levels, use online dictionaries to help them. Here Ill talk about some of the online dictionaries I have found. Lets start with standard dictionaries. Merriam-Webster, Cambridge, and Oxford all have online dictionaries for English learners. They all have British and American English pronunciations. But Oxford has a nice additional feature, where a small window called “Search Results,” contains words related to your search. There are also a number of picture dictionaries available online. One that could be used for beginners is ESOL Help. The clear pictures make it great for students to view on their own. For middle-level and advanced students, try Visuwords. It shows how words relate to one another. Lastly, I have found a site called Reverso, which contains an English dictionary built by its users. It represents new words in very simple, easy-to- understand language. 第二部分阅读（共两节，满分 50 分） 第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项。 A Photography is important because it allows people to admire the most diverse situations recorded in a frozen moment.

The mountain came to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing. What had once been the final mountain climbing goal became the focus of a commercial guiding industry. Over the years, the crowds at Base Camp grew, leaving behind tons of trash. Whenever I was asked whether Id climbed Everest, my answer was always the same: not interested. Thats probably where my personal Everest story would have ended, were it not for an old friend and his obsession （念念不忘）with one of the greatest mysteries. In 1999, Thom Pollard began to explore and found the remains of George Mallory, the celebrated British climber who disappeared while attempting to be the first to climb Everest. But Mallorys partner, Sandy Irvine - and the camera he had likely carried - were not found. The mountain climbing world has been wondering whether they might have reached the top in 1924. Pollards story moved me. I began to pack for the climb and expected that our advanced equipment would make it manageable, perhaps easy. I was wrong. On the highest point on the planet, I was more tired than Id ever been in any climbing. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory and Irvine but to anyone who has the drive to push himself or herself up this route. My search was in vain, but I began to reconsider Everest. I witnessed many climbers, who were much more than just self-centered tourists. We shared route information, weather forecasts, and family photos - all united around common goals. I went to Everest to seek Irvine. But in the end, I found something more difficult to get: the spirit that Irvine and Mallory shared. It was hiding in plain sight, right where it has always been: inside the brave souls who risk so much to follow in storied adventurers footsteps up Everest. 24. Why did the author hate climbing Everest at first? A. His climbing goal was changed. B. He couldnt afford the climbing cost. C. It became an industry to make money. D. There were crowds of people at the Base Camp. 25. Why did the author climb Everest later? A. He desired to change his life. B. He got motivated by Thom Pollard. C. He admired Mallory and Irvine. D. He attempted to be a celebrated climber. 26. What does the underlined phrase “tipped my hat in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Showed my respect. B. Presented my success. C. Conveyed my wishes. D. Expressed my satisfaction. 27. In the last paragraph the author mainly showed his A. regret. B. concern. C. confidence. D. admiration. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。在 Thom Pollard的 激励下，作者开始攀登珠峰，但他发现这比 他想象得要难很多，作者对那些冒着巨大风险追随传奇探险家的脚步攀登珠穆朗玛峰的勇 敢灵魂表达了钦佩之情。 【24 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“What had once been the final mountain climbing goal became the focus of a commercial guiding industry.”（曾经的最终登山目标成 为了商业向导行业的焦点。 ）可知，作者讨厌攀登珠峰是因为它变成了一个赚钱的行业。故 选 C。 【25 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Pollards story moved me.”（波拉德的故事打动了我。 ）可知，作者后来攀登珠峰是因为被 Thom Pollard 打动了。故选 B。 【26 题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段第四句“On the highest point on the planet, I was more tired than Id ever been in any climbing.”（在这个星球的最高点，我比以往任何一 次攀登都要累。 ）和第五句中的“not just to Mallory and Irvine but to anyone who has the drive to push himself or herself up this route”（不只是对马洛里和欧文， 还有所有有动力推动自己走上这条路的人）可知，此处是指向这些人致敬。故选 A。 【27 题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“It was hiding in plain sight, right where it has always been: inside the brave souls who risk so much to follow in storied adventurers footsteps up Everest.”（它隐藏在显而易见的地方，就在它一直存在的地 方：在那些冒着巨大风险追随传奇探险家的脚步攀登珠穆朗玛峰的勇敢灵魂的内心里。 ）可 知，作者在最后一段中表达了他的钦佩之情。故选 D。 C Depending on the topic, peoples opinions can change from moment to moment or last a lifetime. The factors that make one opinion long-lasting and another short-lived, however, are not always clear. Past studies have shown that opinions based on hard facts and data can remain constant over time, but new research published in the journal Psychological Science finds that opinions based on feelings and emotions can also stand the test of time. As part of their study, the researchers asked more than 1,000 people to what degree they believed opinions based on feelings or emotional reactions were more stable over time than those based on thinking and reasoned analysis. Only 15% expressed any belief that opinions based on emotion would be more stable over time. To test the role that emotion plays in forming long-lasting opinions, the researchers conducted seven independent studies involving more than 20,000 participants in various real-world situations. The first survey, which was conducted the day after Christmas, measured feelings about recently received gifts. The participants were given a list of adjectives （形容词）to describe their opinions toward their gifts. Adjectives like worthwhile were associated with a practical reaction to the gift, while words like delightful were more strongly associated with an emotional reaction. One month later, the participants completed a follow-up survey to test the endurance （持久性）of their opinions. The results showed that the stronger the positive emotional reaction, the more likely that opinion remained fixed one month later. In the final test, participants read one of two messages about an imaginary sea animal. One message contained broad-ranging facts about the animal （low- emotion condition）. The other message was about a swimmers underwater interaction with the animal （high-emotion condition）. The participants in the high-emotion condition showed significantly less change in their opinions across time. Emotionality is an unrecognized predictor （预测因子）of long-lasting opinions, said Andrew Luttrell, a researcher at Ball State University. These findings are important for understanding why some opinions are so difficult to change as well as how to create opinions that stick. 28. What did the survey of 1000 people show? A. Creating long-lasting opinions was a long process. B. Opinions based on hard facts could stand the test of time. C. The role of emotion was not recognized by most of the people. D. Only a small percentage of people dared to express their opinions. 29. Which statement will lead to a long-lasting opinion according to the research? A. The car is safe. B. The movie is boring. C. The book is valuable. D. The speech is exciting. 30. Which is true about the findings of the research? A. They have been concluded from hard facts. B. They have been used to prove other predictors. C. They help understand the endurance of opinions. D. They have something to do with creative opinions. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Emotion varies based on different facts B. Emotion can help clarify the opinions C. Opinions can last when based on emotion D. Opinions once formed are hard to change 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. C 31. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。 心理科学杂志上的一项新研究发现，基于感觉和情绪的观点 也能经受住时间的考验。 【28 题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Only 15% expressed any belief that opinions based on emotion would be more stable over time.”（只有 15%的人认为，基于情感的 观点会随着时间的推移变得更加稳定。 ）可知，这个 1000 人的调查表明情感的作用没有被 大多数人认识到。故选 C。 【29 题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段第三句 Adjectives like worthwhile were associated with a practical reaction to the gift, while words like delightful were more strongly associated with an emotional reaction.（像“值得的”这样的形容词与礼物 的实际反应有关，而像“愉快的”这样的词与情感反应更密切相关。 ）和最后一句“The results showed that the stronger the positive emotional reaction, the more likely that opinion remained fixed one month later.”（结果显示，积极的情绪反应 越强烈，一个月后，他们的观点越有可能保持不变。 ）可知， “The speech is exciting” （演讲很激动人心）与情感反应更密切相关，所以会形成一个持久的观点。故选 D。 【30 题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“These findings are important for understanding why some opinions are so difficult to change as well as how to create opinions that stick.”（这些发现对于理解为什么有些观点如此难以改变以及如 何创造持久的观点很重要。 ）可知，这些发现帮助理解观点的持久力。故选 C。 【31 题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“but new research published in the journal Psychological Science finds that opinions based on feelings and emotions can also stand the test of time”（但发表在心理科学杂志上的一项新研究发现，基于 感觉和情绪的观点也能经受住时间的考验）可知，文章主要是讲研究发现基于情感的观点 可以持久。故选 C。 D Cyberspace （网络空间）is constantly developing and presenting new opportunities, as the desire of businesses to quickly adopt new technologies, such as using the Internet to open new channels and adopting cloud services, provides vast opportunity. But, it also brings unexpected risks and unintended consequences that can have a potentially negative effect. Hardly a day goes by without news of a new cyber threat. Unfortunately, businesses tend to misjudge how much risk they face from cyber-crimes and how quickly this risk can develop. For them, the commercial, reputational and financial risks that go with cyberspace presence are real and growing every day. So all businesses need to do now is establish cyber security within their organization, right? Establishing cyber security alone is not enough. Nowadays, it i
