going to explore some of this years top beaches in the world.1.Baia do Sancho,BrazilIt is named as this years best beach in the world.Its water is calm and clear.Its sand is fine and soft.But getting to Baia do Sancho is not so easy.It is on Fernando de Noronha,a volcanic(火山的) island more than 300 kilometers off Brazils coast.Travelers must take a plane or boat from major cities in northern Brazil to get there.And no more than 420 visitors can be on the island at one time.2.Grace Bay,Turks and CaicosWhile Baia do Sancho is difficult to get to,TripAdvisors second-ranked beach could not be much easier for tourists to reach.This beach has impossibly clean and clear waters and pure white sand.Its calm waters make it extremely safe for swimming,or simply floating.Once on land,many visitors enjoy walking barefoot for several kilometers on the soft,warm sand.3.Eagle Beach,ArubaTo get to the third-best beach,we head south to the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba.Like Grace Bay,Eagle Beach has clear,calm waters and soft white sand.It offers visitors a chance to try different water sports,including tubing and jet skiing.Eagle Beach may be best known,however,for its dramatic sunsets.On clear nights,the sky turns red,orange,and purple.4.Playa Paraiso,CubaThe fourth-best beach is Playa Paraiso,an island off Cubas southern coast.It has a fun,laid-back restaurant for those who wish to eat and drink.There is little else on the beach.And that is exactly what visitors like about it.People come here for the sugar-like sand and calm waters filled with colorful wildlife.21.Which of the following is true about Baia do Sancho?A.It receives thousands of visitors each time.B.It can only be visited by plane.C.It is near the Brazils coast.D.It is hard to reach.答案:D解析:细节理解题。根据题干关键词“Baia do Sancho”及第二段中的“But getting to Baia do Sancho is not so easy.Travelers must take a plane or boat from major cities in northern Brazil to get there”可知,Baia do Sancho比较难到达,所以选D项。22.Where can visitors go if they want to enjoy the beauty of the sinking sun?A.Baia do Sancho,Brazil.B.Grace Bay,Turks and Caicos.C.Eagle Beach,Aruba.D.Playa Paraiso,Cuba.答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Eagle Beach may be best known,however,for its dramatic sunsets”可知,Eagle Beach有令人印象深刻的日落之景,与题干中的“enjoy the beauty of the sinking sun”所表达的意思相符,故C项正确。23.What can visitors mainly do on Playa Paraiso,Cuba?A.Go boating.B.Have a relaxing dinner.C.Admire the colorful sand.D.Try different water sports.答案:B解析:细节理解题。根据第七段中的“It has a fun,laid-back restaurant for those who wish to eat and drink”可知,在Playa Paraiso能够享用令人放松的晚餐,因此选B项。BI left England for Sydney in September.It was a career move for my husband,and our 20-year-old daughter was feeling adventurous and decided to come,too.However,just before leaving England,my 79-year-old mother suffered a stroke (中风).Being strong and independent,she continued to live at home with the help of social services.But she couldnt look after the garden.I thought how wonderful it would be if there was an organization offering volunteer help.Friends asked me what I planned to do in Australia,and I told them I would be looking for a volunteer position with a gardening organization.Imagine my surprise when I found just the organization I had been looking forEasy Care Gardening (ECG)!There are several reasons why I volunteer for ECG.Firstly,as a newcomer to Australia I meet many great people who,like me,volunteer some of their time.We cover a large age range,but all love gardens and helping others.Secondly,through working with ECG I have been lucky enough to explore Sydneys North Shore that I might not have had the opportunity to visit otherwise.Finally,there are all those wonderful people who we call “clients (客户)”,but are more like friends when we visit them often and help with their gardens.What great people I have met,and stories they have to tellthe family histories,where they come from and the reasons for immigrating to Australia.I find it a privilege(特权) to have access to private gardens which,in many cases,have been the joy of their owners for many years.Each one is individual and reflects the character,needs and the history of each family.Indeed,the gardens reflect the historical background of Sydney.24.Why did the author move to Sydney?A.She planned to volunteer there.B.Her husband would work there.C.She was very keen on adventures.D.She had to look after her sick mother.答案:B解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It was a career move for my husband”可知,作者移居悉尼是因为她丈夫的工作变动,故选B项。25.What made the author choose to be a gardening volunteer?A.Her own experience.B.The tips of her friends.C.The popularity of ECG.D.Her gardening skills.答案:A解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However,just before leaving England,my 79-year-old mother suffered a stroke (中风).But she couldnt look after the garden.I thought how wonderful it would be if there was an organization offering volunteer help”可知,作者的母亲因为中风无法照料花园,因此作者希望有一个能提供园艺志愿服务的组织。所以,作者选择成为一名园艺志愿者是因为她自己的经历。故选A项。26.What do the volunteers at ECG have in common?A.They make friends with their clients.B.They like to explore Sydneys North Shore.C.They are of similar age and background.D.They are kind-hearted with the same interest.答案:D解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“We cover a large age range,but all love gardens and helping others”可知,ECG的志愿者虽然年龄跨度很大,但是都热爱花园和帮助他人。D项“他们都很热心肠,有着同样的爱好”符合文意,故选D项。27.What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.Client.B.Reason.C.Garden.D.Joy.答案:C解析:代词指代题。根据画线词所在句的前一句“I find it a privilege to have access to private gardens which,in many cases,have been the joy of their owners for many years”可知,作者觉得能够进入私人花园是一种特权,在许多情况下,私人花园都是花园主人的乐趣所在。根据语境和画线词所在句的前后句子中的“gardens”可知,“one”指的就是“garden”,故选C项。CCharles Darwin lived an unusually quiet life.In 1842,Darwin and his wife Emma moved from London to Kent in southern England to have as little disturbance(烦扰) as possible.They already had two children then,and would go on to have eight more in the country.Darwin had very regular(有规律的) habits.He rose early and went for a walk.After breakfast he worked in his study until 9:30 am,his most productive time of the day,and then read his letters lying on the sofa before returning to work.At midday he would go for another walk with his dog,stopping at his greenhouse to inspect(查看) his experiments.Then he would go for another walk around an area of woodland.While walking on his “thinking path”,Darwin would consider his unsolved scientific problems.After lunch he read the newspaper and wrote letters.His network of friends provided information from all corners of the world.The Darwins were not very strict parents and the children were always seen running wild.Their father worked patiently to a background of playful shouts and little footsteps walking past his study door.After dinner Darwin played backgammon(a game for two people to play) with his wife.He once wrote,“Now the result with my wife in backgammon stands like this:she.has won only 2,490 games,while I have won,hurrah(a cheer of joy or victory),hurrah,2,795 games!”Although he had poor health,Darwin continued to publish(出版) a lot of creative works until his final book in 1881 came out.He died the following year,aged 73.Rather than a quiet space in the local churchyard,which he called “the sweetest place on Earth”,Darwin was given a state funeral(国葬) in Londons Westminster Abbey.28.Why did the Darwins move to Kent?A.To do more experiments.B.To cut their cost of living.C.To enjoy more peacefulness.D.To be together with their children.答案:C解析:推理判断题。由第一段中的“moved from London to Kent in southern England to have as little disturbance as possible”可知,达尔文夫妇搬家是为了免受外界的打扰,以享受更多的宁静。29.What did Darwin do every day?A.He studied in the woods.B.He started to work at 9:30 am.C.He wrote letters in the morning.D.He examined his experiments.答案:D解析:细节理解题。由第三段中的“At midday he would go for another walk with his dog,stopping at his greenhouse to inspect his experiments”可知,达尔文每天会去查看实验的进展情况。30.What did Darwins children probably think of him?A.Strict.B.Warm.C.Cold.D.Brave.答案:B解析:推理判断题。由第五段中的“Their father worked patiently to a background of playful shouts and little footsteps walking past his study door”可推知,在孩子们眼里,父亲达尔文应该很温和。31.What is this text mainly about?A.Darwins scientific achievements.B.Darwins unusual state funeral.C.Darwins personal life.D.Darwins large family.答案:C解析:主旨大意题。首段第一句即文章主旨句“Charles Darwin lived an unusually quiet life”。本文描写了英国著名科学家达尔文宁静的个人生活。DOur street is a short,one-way street,four blocks from the Charles River.Its lined with three-family homes,built at the turn of the century for people who worked at factories and needed places to live.There are families and single people,older couples and students in this street.There are Greeks and Chinese and white Americans.If you head down the street and make a left turn,you may run across Billy Davis.He was born on that street and is now a retiree(退休人士).Hell tell you all about Cambridge in the old days.Hell tell you how he couldnt act up because there were so many watching mamas on his street and they all had eyes on the naughty(顽皮的) kids in the neighbourhood.He might do something wrong,but the minute he walked in his own house,his mum would say “Hey,what were you doing down at the park?” and it was all over.His stories need telling and we are eager(渴望的) listeners.Walk over a block and you reach our neighbourhood mechanic,Phil.Hes the best mechanic in all Cambridge and will give you fair prices and honest statements of whats wrong with your car.Walk the other way to Central Square and youll come across the Village Grill,run by Theo and Helen.Its a small neighbourhood restaurant.Whatever you order,you will always find it is worth every penny(便士).You dont just pay for food,but you pay for conversation and it is always interesting.Theo and Helen are Greek,so the conversation turns Greek sometimes.I walk out of the house on this Monday morning,and smile at my neighbourhood.Its going to be a hot day,and tonight will see many of us at our front door,observing(观察) each other through plants.32.What do the underlined words “act up” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Behave badly.B.Play games.C.Travel alone.D.Give performances.答案:A解析:词义猜测题。由下文中的“there were so many watching mamas.had eyes on the naughty kids”以及“He might do something wrong,but.it was all over”可知,邻居的女人们都会注意淘气孩子们的举动,一旦谁家的孩子做了错事,就会告诉他的家长;所以,Billy Davis小时候不敢做坏事,不然会被妈妈知道;因此,act up意为“举止不当”。33.What does Billy Davis like to do?A.Play jokes on people.B.Walk around the street.C.Tell stories about the old days.D.Watch naughty kids in the street.答案:C解析:细节理解题。由第三段中的“Hell tell you all about Cambridge in the old days.Hell tell you how he couldnt act up”以及“His stories need telling and we are eager listeners”可知,Billy Davis喜欢讲旧日的故事。34.What can we infer from Paragraph 5?A.The author likes having meals in the Village Grill.B.The restaurant owners have a good sense of humour.C.The food in the Village Grill is expensive but delicious.D.The restaurant owners usually talk with their customers.答案:D解析:推理判断题。由第五段中的“You dont just pay for food,but you pay for conversation.turns Greek sometimes”可知,去该餐馆花钱吃饭的客人不仅能享受美食,还能享受有趣的聊天,而来自希腊的店主有时会让聊天变得颇具希腊特点;因此可推断,餐馆主人经常与食客聊天。35.What does the author think of his neighbourhood?A.Unchanged.B.Friendly.C.Quiet.D.Wealthy.答案:B解析:推理判断题。作者在文章中介绍了自己居住的街区的概况并描述了在那里居住的人们,从作者行文的用词以及口吻(如eager listeners,best mechanic,honest,worth every penny,conversation,interesting,smile at my neighbourhood)可以推断,作者认为自己居住的街区很不错,人与人之间友好和睦。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。When you learn a new subject,you may always consider how much time you need to truly
