Mr. Matless, 69, who had a heart attack a few years ago, was so taken_aback_by the fruit that he decided to sell it and donate the money to the British Heart Foundation. The 64g tomato was bought for D|S16 on eBay by woman from Waleswho said she planned to give it to someone special.Mr. Matless, of Wymondham, near Norwich, said: “I spent a couple of days thinking about what to do with it and I wasnt really sure, but this seems like a good use. I hope it will do someone somewhere a bit of good.” He added：“Its very sweetwhenever people see it they just want to hug it.” But with the tomatos freshness a key factor, Mr. Matless was up against the clock to send it to its new owner before it went bad. He said: “I didnt want to send someone something horrible. I probably could have raised a bit more money with more time but I was worried about it.”“It will certainly make a nice present for a loved one. I hope that they like it and Im glad I got to help. Its all been very good fun and Ive really enjoyed growing this very special tomato.”【语篇解读】文章主要讲述了Rod Matless在自家地里发现了一个心形西红柿，并将卖西红柿的钱捐给英国心脏基金会的故事。1We can learn from the text that the tomato grown by Rod Matless _Ais very bigBis very toughCis very specialDis good for health【解析】细节理解题。由第一段的“this was no ordinary piece of fruit”及第二段的“The heartshaped tomato”可知，这个西红柿很特别。【答案】C2The underlined part “taken aback by” in Paragraph 2 means “_”Asatisfied withBnervous aboutCsurprised byDfrightened by【解析】词义猜测题。由第二段的“he was surprised when he noticed it in his field”可知，Rod Matless看到这个特别的西红柿后感到很惊讶。【答案】C3According to the text, the main problem for Rod Matless was _Ahow to advertise the tomatoBhow to keep the tomato freshChow to get a good price for the tomatoDhow to find a good owner for the tomato【解析】推理判断题。由第三段的“But with the tomatos freshness a key factor，Mr.Matless was up against the clock to send it to its new owner before it went bad.”可知，Rod Matless很担心西红柿在送到买主手里之前会腐烂。【答案】BB 【导学号：73450040】Young women who take part in beauty contests (比赛) are helping to keep alive an outdated opinion of women that a womans most important value is how she looks.Women have been working very hard through the years to change their image. They have been trying to prove that the value of a woman does not lie only in her beauty. The world is just beginning to recognize that women are as smart, wise and strong in personality as men are, and that there are qualities more important than looks when judging people. When women take part in beauty contests for top prizes, they encourage people to value them for their beauty alone. It is unfair to say that beauty alone determines ones worth.Beauty contests not only encourage spectators (观众) to judge women by their appearance, but they encourage this idea in the contestants as well. These young women spend months losing weight to be the “right” size and learning how to dress，wear makeup, and walk just right so that some judges will consider them beautiful. I think its great for a woman to feel good about her appearance, but looks shouldnt be sought after in an extreme or unreasonable way. There are too many other more important things in a young womans life: learning, developing friendships and preparing for their future work and perhaps a family.As long as there are beauty contests, women wont be fully recognized as wellrounded human beings.【语篇解读】女人以往柔弱的形象正在慢慢改变，她们可以和男人一样有能力。选美比赛只注重选手的外表而不是内心，对选手很不尊重。4According to the text, women have tried to change their image by _Aproving they are as good as menBpaying attention to their clothesCwinning more beauty contestsDencouraging people to value their beauty【解析】细节理解题。根据“The world is just beginning to recognize that women are as smart，wise and strong in personality as men are，and that there are qualities more important than looks when judging people.”可知女人通过让别人知道她们和男人一样有能力来改变自己以往柔弱的形象，故选A。【答案】A5What do women usually do in preparation for beauty contests?ALearn about their personality.BDo everything for their bodies.CChoose the right size dresses.DDevelop friendship with spectators.【解析】细节理解题。根据“These young women spend months losing weight to be therightsize and learning how to dress，wear makeup，and walk just right so that some judges will consider them beautiful.”可知在选美比赛的过程中，女人往往会在自己的外型上花费很大的精力，故选B。【答案】B6What can we infer from the text?ALooks determine everything.BWisdom carries much weight.CSpectators should have their voices heard.DQualities other than looks are more important.【解析】推理判断题。根据“There are too many other more important things in a young womans life：learning，developing friendships and preparing for their future work and perhaps a family.”可知一个人的品质比一个人美丽的外表更加重要，故选D。【答案】D7According to the author, beauty contests are _Adisrespectful to womenBunpleasant to contestantsCnecessary for modern societyDhelpful in improving womens image【解析】细节理解题。根据“As long as there are beauty contests，women wont be fully recognized as wellrounded human beings.”可知选美比赛只注重选手的外表而忽视了选手的内心，对选手是不尊重的，故选A。【答案】AC(2016沈阳一模)When Shakespeare was twentyone, he went to London, a very interesting place, to try his fortune.There were the famous London Bridge and St.Pauls Cathedral, and palaces and markets and long streets full of shops.Then, too, there were the daily crowds where could be seen people from all over the world.Knights, scholars and highwaymen (拦路强盗) or thieves who had been infamous for their clever robberies, passed by each other.Here, also, were noblemen dressed in gold，from Italy, Spain and France; slaves from Spanish America, sea captains and ministers, soldiers and servantsall held by chances or interests within the gray walls which circled London, and whose gates gave welcome to as strange a crowd as could be found in the world.Into this curious crowd came Shakespeare, quick to see and eager to learn. And before long all these strange sights were as familiar to him as the faces of his own towns residents. Each one told its story to him so plainly that, as before he had learned the secrets of the fields and woods, so now he learned men and mens interests that make up the great world.And he learned these lessons so well that when he came to write his plays, he made such use of them as no writer ever made before or since; for it is the use of this knowledge of the world, combined with his own genius, that makes Shakespeare the greatest dramatist that has ever lived.【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了莎士比亚到伦敦后的经历，他很快适应了那里的生活，并把自己所观察到的事融入到自己的创作中。8What was London like in Shakespeares eyes when he first went there?ADirty and small.BStrange and interesting.CInfamous and terrible.DFamiliar and modern.【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“a very interesting place”和第五段中的“all these strange sights”可知，在Shakespeare的眼中，伦敦是一个有趣而陌生的城市，即B项正确。【答案】B9Which of the following can best describes Shakespeare?AShakespeare got inspiration to write from his hometown, London.BShakespeare was eager to make friends with the noblemen in London.CShakespeare was good at observing and learning from the daily life.DShakespeare became the greatest dramatist owing to his own genius.【解析】推理判断题。根据第五段可知，Shakespeare来到伦敦不久之后，通过观察和学习了解了伦敦，并适应了那里的生活，由此可推断出，Shakespeare擅长观察日常生活并从中学习，故C项正确。【答案】C10What does the underlined word“one” in Paragraph 5 refer to?ACrowd.BSight.CFace.DResident.【解析】词义猜测题。画线词后的“as before he had learned the secrets of the fields and woods”的意思为“正如他以前所学到的田野和树林的秘密那样”，根据这句话可知，one指的是像田野和树林一样的景象，故B项正确。【答案】B11The passage probably comes from _Aa posterBa textbookCan advertisementDan announcement【解析】推理判断题。本文主要讲述了莎士比亚到伦敦的经历，所以这篇文章最有可能出现在一本教材中，故B项正确。【答案】BDInsects trapped in fossilized amber(琥珀) for tens of millions of years have provided the key to creating a new generation of antibiotic drugs that could start a war against modern diseases. Scientists have isolated the antibiotics from microbes(微生物) found either from these insects or in soil particles trapped with them when they were caught by sticky tree resin up to 130 million years ago.Presentday antibiotics have nearly all been isolated from microbes that use them as a form of defense against their enemies and competitors. But since the introduction of antibiotics into medicine 50 years ago，an alarming number have become ineffective because many bacteria have developed resistance to the drugs. Research over the past two years has uncovered at least four antibiotics from the microbes and one has been able to kill modern drugresistant bacteria that can cause potentially deadly diseases in humans.Raul Cano, who has pioneered the research at the California Polytechnic State University, said the ancient antibiotics had been successful in fighting drugresistant strains of staphylococcus (葡萄球菌), a“superbug” that had threatened the health of patients in hospitals across the globe. He now intends to establish whether the antibiotics might have side effects.“The problem is how toxic they are to other cells and how easy they are to purify”， said Cano.Canos findings have been acknowledged as a breakthrough.A biotechnology company，Ambergene，has been set up to develop the antibiotics into drugs.If any ancient microbes are revived (复活) that resemble presentday disease, they will be destroyed in case they escape and cause new epidemics. Drug companies will be anxious to study the chemical structures of the prehistoric antibiotics to see how they differ from modern drugs.They hope that one ancient molecule could be used as a basis to produce a range of drugs.However, even the use of ancient antibiotics may not stop the rise of drugresistant bacteria.Stuart Levy warned that the bacteria would eventually evolve to fight back against the new drugs. “There might also be an enzyme already out there that can degrade it. So the only way to keep the life of that antibiotic going is to use it sensibly and not excessively，” he said.【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。古老的昆虫给科学家们新的启示：他们或许可以从昆虫中提取抗生素形式的微生物，从而抵抗现代疾病。12What problem has man faced since the use of antibiotics as medicine according to the passage?AAntibiotics are very difficult to purify.BAntibiotics do harm to human health.CAntibiotics resemble some diseasecausing bacteria.DAntibiotics are becoming ineffective in fighting against bacteria.【解析】细节理解题。从第二段中的“an alarming number have become ineffective because many bacteria have developed resistance to the drugs”可知，人类过分使用抗生素的结果是：细菌对这些药物有着超强的抵抗力，从而使这些药物无效。故答案选D项。【答案】D13Why are Canos findings considered as a breakthrough in science?AHis discoveries will help revive ancient microbes.BHis discoveries will put an end to the rise of drugresistant bacteria.CThe company Ambergene has applied the prehistoric antibiotics to drugs.DThe prehistoric antibiotics proved more deadly against drugresistant modern bacteria.【解析】推理判断题。从第三段的内容可知，Raul Cano的研究表明：古代的抗生素战胜了威胁全球病人健康的葡萄球菌，由此可推知，古代的抗生素在对抗有抗药性的现代细菌时更致命。故答案选D项。【答案】D14According to the last paragraph, what is Stuart Levys attitude towards the use of ancient antibiotics?ACautious.BContradictory.CConfident.DCritical.【解析】推理判断题。从最后一段中的“So the only way to keep the life of that antibiotic going is to use it sensibly and not excessively”可知，Stuart认为人们在使用抗生素时要慎用，不要过量使用，否则后果不堪设想。故答案选A项。【答案】A15Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?AAntibioticsDangerous or Not?BBiotechnology Revealed Prehistoric SecretsCInsect Antibiotics and Bacteria EvolutionDPrehistoric Insects Might Help Invent New Drugs【解析】标题判断题。本文是一篇新闻报道。第一段概括了本文的主旨大意，琥珀里的昆虫给科学家们新的启示：他们或许可以从中提取抗生素形式的微生物，从而抵抗现代疾病。故答案选D项。【答案】D.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)You want your essay to be the one that is passed around the admissions officeor not.
