The ocean seems to have more water than all the water on Earths surface, according to new Hubble observations.New Hubble observations of Ganymedes magnetic field strongly suggest that the moon, which is the largest in our whole solar system, is home to a subsurface ocean.Scientists estimate that the ocean is 95 kilometres thick, which is about 10 times deeper than Earths oceans. But unlike our salty waters, Ganymedes ocean is buried under 150 kilometres of ice.While scientists have speculated (推测) since the 1970s about the presence of an ocean on Ganymede the largest moon in our solar system until now the only observational evidence came from a brief flyby by the Galileo spacecraft, which didnt observe the moon long enough to confirm a liquid ocean.This discovery marks an important milestone, highlighting what only Hubble can accomplish. In its 25 years in orbit, Hubble has made many scientific discoveries in our own solar system. A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth.Scientists_have_already_confirmed_the_existence_of_an_ocean_on_Europa,_another moon orbiting Jupiter, and NASA has announced plans to send an unmanned mission there searching for the life that might come with liquid water.Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth, but because of its impressive gravitational analyses it can be used to study the inside of far distant planets. Using these same principles, scientists could theoretically detect oceans on distant exoplanets as well.语篇解读:本文是一篇新闻报道。NASA证实木星的最大卫星Ganymede上有海洋,这一发现再次拓宽了科学家的视野,使探寻太阳系内地球以外的生命的努力更进了一步。25.What can we learn about Ganymede from the passage?AIt is a planet with the largest moon in our whole solar system.BIts ocean adds to peoples excitement about life beyond Earth.CIt will be used by NASA as a base for the Hubble telescope.DIts liquid ocean was first proved by the Galileo spacecraft.解析:选B推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句“A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth.”可知,木星卫星Ganymede上海洋的存在激发了人们探索地球以外的生命的热情。故选B项。26Which of the following best describes the writers attitude towards Hubble?ACautious.BDoubtful.CNegative. DFavourable.解析:选D推理判断题。根据第五段第一句可知,这次具有里程碑意义的发现只有哈勃望远镜能够完成。由此可推知,作者对哈勃望远镜持支持态度。故选D项。27What does the underlined part in Paragraph 6 mean?AAn underground ocean has been found in Europa.BThe presence of an underground ocean in Europa is not possible.CIt is now certain that there is an ocean on Europa.DNo evidence has shown the existence of an ocean on Europa.解析:选C句意理解题。根据第六段中的“and NASA has announced plans to send . with liquid water”可知,因为Europa上有水存在,NASA才宣布要在Europa上搜寻地外生命;由此可推知,画线句意为:科学家们已经证实Europa上存在海洋。故选C项。28What type of writing does this passage belong to?AA term essay.BA news report.CAn experiment report.DAn exploration review.解析:选B推理判断题。根据第一段“Washington: NASA has announced evidence .”及文章内容可推知,本文为一篇新闻报道。故选B项。CPoet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours (绕行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image.But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents home in Boise in nine hours.We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement (限制) and have strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to.We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired. But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me.My husband made the decision for me.That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. Theyd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads,catching grasshoppers in waisthigh grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water,it was better than the best ride down the freeway.Here was life.And new horizons (见识) We eventually arrived at my parents doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories. I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique.On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey and the best part of yourself.语篇解读:很多时候生活中的旅行需要快速直接地到达目的地,但有时候绕道而行也别有一番趣味。29Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents home?AIt was less tiring.BIt would be faster and safer.CHer kids would feel less confined.DShe felt better with other drivers nearby.解析:选B细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句“We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement (限制) and have strong opinions about everything.”可知,作者认为对于带着四个孩子的她来说,走高速公路更快、更安全。故答案为B。30The author stopped regularly on the country roads to _.Arelax in the fresh airBtake a deep breathCtake care of the lamb Dlet the kids play with Banner解析:选C细节理解题。根据第五段第三句“We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him.”可知,作者中途频繁停下来是为了让Banner下车活动,并给他吃些食物,故C项正确。31What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6?AFreeways are where beauty hides.BGetting close to nature adds to the joy of life.CEnjoying the beauty of nature benefits ones health.DOne should follow side roads to watch wild animals.解析:选B推理判断题。根据文章第六段中的“it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons (见识)”可推断出,作者在绕道的途中看到不少风景,得到很多乐趣,故B项正确。32What could be the best title for the passage?ACharm of the DetourBThe Road to BraveryCCreativity out of Necessity DRoad Trip and Country Life解析:选A标题归纳题。根据最后一段可知,作者意识到这次的绕道而行让他们体验到冒险游荡的感觉,得到了更多的乐趣,贴近最真实的自己,也带给了他们美的享受,故答案为A。DThese days, young people in some Englishspeaking countries are speaking a strange language, especially when communicating on social media.Look at these words chosen by The Washington Post:“David Bowie dying is totes tradge” and “When Cookie hugged Jamal it made me totes emosh”. Or this sentence: “BAE, let me know if you stay in tonight.”What on earth do they mean? Well, “totes” is a short form of “totally”. Similarly, “tradge” means “tragic” and “emosh” means “emotional”. It seems that, for millennials (千禧一代), typing in this form is not only timesaving but fashionable.As you can see, many millennial slangs (俚语), also named as eslangs, are formed by socalled “totesing” the systematic abbreviation (缩写) of words. The trend might have started with “totally” becoming “totes”, but it now has spread to many other English words.The origins of other millennial slangs are more complex than “totesing”. “Bae”, for example, has been widely used by AfricanAmericans for years. It can be an expression of closeness with ones romantic partner or, like “sweetheart”, for someone without romantic connection. After pop singer Pharrell used the word in his work, “bae” became mainstream.Some people might think millennial slangs lower the value of the English language, but Melbourne University linguist (语言学家) Rosey Billington doesnt agree. She says when people are able to use a language in a creative way, they show that they know the language rules well enough to use words differently. Two other linguists, Lauren Spradlin and Taylor Jones, share the same view. The two analysed hundreds of examples of totesspeak and discovered totesing has complex roots.It isnt simply an adult version of baby talk, nor a clever way to minimize your word count. Rather, it is a highly organized system that relies on a speakers mastery of English pronunciation. It is about sounds, follows sound system of English and has strict rules.语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。现在一些说英语的国家的年轻人喜欢用缩略词,尤其是在社交媒体上。有些语言学家认为,年轻人对缩略词的使用不但没有降低英语的价值,反而表明他们熟练掌握了英语。33Why do young people like using eslangs?AThey are timeconsuming.BThey are in fashion.CThey are complex.DThey are in order.解析:选B细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知,他们认为这是一种时尚。故选B。34Which statement may Rosey Billington agree with?ATotesing is a loosely organized system.BMillennial slangs lower the value of English.CIts simply a clever way to reduce the word count.DTotesspeak requires a good command of English.解析:选D推理判断题。根据第六段第二句可知,她同意“网络缩略词要求对英语(的运用规则)能熟练掌握”的说法。故选D。35Whats the best title of the passage?AEslangs Catch on Among YouthBLinguists Disapprove of TotesingCMillennial Slangs Take the LeadDEnglish Has Greatly Changed解析:选A标题归纳题。纵观全文可知,本文主要讲述的是现在一些说英语的国家的很多年轻人都喜欢使用缩略词,尤其是在社交媒体上进行交流的时候。故选A。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Evaluating Sources of Health InformationMaking good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. _36_Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science.
