解析:细节题。根据文章第三段第一句可知,这颗新发现的行星是围

绕太阳转的,故选A(围绕太阳转)。从第一段第三句和第二段可知,

是两位研究员发现了这颗行星,其中一个研究员是宇航员,故选项

B(被两位宇航员发现)错误。从第一段第二句可知,这颗行星运行的轨

解析:细节题。根据文章第三段最后一句可知,冥王星一直被称为“第

九颗行星”,直到2006年更名为“矮行星”,故选项C(冥王星曾被认为

是太阳系的第九颗行星)正确。由第三段第二句可知,该行星的大小

是地球的10倍,不是比地球大10倍,故选项A(这个行星比地球大

10倍)错误。由第三段第一句可知,该行星绕太阳运行一周需要1万

到2万年,故选项B(该行星沿轨道转一周需要不到1万年的时间)错

误。由第三段最后一句可知,冥王星早就被发现了,只是在2006年

地球上最大和最好的望远镜来寻找“行星九”,故选项A(数学建模)、

C. gains more meaning as modern technology develops

D. refers to parents who concern too much about kids

解析:细节题。根据文章第一段第一句可知,“直升机式育儿法”指的

是父母过于保护孩子、为孩子做太多的养育方法,因此,选项D(指

那些为孩子考虑太多的父母)正确。选项A(指那些在空中给孩子指导

的父母)只是字面理解的意思,与文章的意思不符,错误。由第一段

第二句可知,该词在20世纪末被首次使用,故选项B(可能是在19

世纪末期发明的)错误;选项C(随着现代科技的发展,有了更多的意

故答案为B(否定的)。

I recently had the opportunity to go to my first ever music festival.

We Love Green was held over a weekend in Parc de Bagatelle, Paris.

While like most music festivals, it boasted an impressive and diverse

music, there was something extra special about this one. You see, this

was a green festival!

From the food to the stalls (货摊) , everything was as

environmentally friendly as possible. Not only was the majority of the

furniture/stalls/toilet rooms hand-made from wood, the festival was

powered by solar energy. Guests were invited to dispose of rubbish in

specially labeled dustbins which, after the festival, were sorted so all of

the waste could be recycled appropriately. Fresh water was made

available freely to everyone so that attendants were not encouraged to

buy drinks in plastic bottles which would have created a lot of waste.

I found the experience incredibly fun but also really interesting.

Having never been to a music festival before, I was unsure of what to

expect. However, I was happy to find myself sitting in a field eating a

healthy, home-made fruit cake while drinking organic fruit juice. There

were many stalls, art installations, and different areas, meaning there

was something there for everyone , from small children to the elderly!

This seems like such a great idea, making something very fun and

interesting, that does not cause great damage to the environment. I have

since discovered that there are more events similar to this across the

globe, which is great! I can' t imagine how much waste has been

produced from such public events as festivals across the years before we

realised just how bad they were for the environment!

of the following can be the title of the passage?(B)

A. We Love Green.

B. We Love Environment.

C. Music Festivals.

D. A Unique Public Event.

解析:主旨题。文章第一段讲到音乐节的特别之处就是环保。接着第

二段和第三段讲了音乐节具体的环保做法。最后一段总结说,举办活

动的同时注意保护环境是很好的主意。所以全文都在强调环保,选项

B(我们爱环境)更适合作本文的标题。

is special about the music festival?(D)

A. It has a special band.

B. It has a unique program list.

C. It is held every weekend.

D. It is environmentally friendly.

解析:细节题。根据文章第一段最后一句和第二段第一句可知,这是

一个绿色的节日,从食物到摊位,一切都尽可能环保,所以选项D(它

是环保的)正确。选项A(有一支特殊的乐队)、选项B(有一个与众不同

的节目单)和选项C(每周末举行)文中均未提及。

the music festival, guests were encouraged to______.(D)

A. make furniture from wood

B. bring plastic-bottled drinks

C. recycle rubbish by themselves

D. drink free fresh water

解析:细节题。根据文章第二段最后一句可知,参加音乐会的人可以

免费享用新鲜饮用水,所以选项D(喝新鲜的免费饮用水)正确。文中

第二段提到音乐会的家具是用木头手工制作的,但不是要求游客做的,

故选项A(用木头做家具)错误。文中说的是不鼓励带塑料瓶装饮料,

会产生垃圾,故选项B(带塑料瓶装的饮料)错误。文中只是提到让游

客把垃圾扔到有特殊标签的垃圾箱内,并没有提到让他们自己回收垃

圾,故选项C(自己回收垃圾)错误。

ing to paragraph 3 , the author______.(C)

A. fully enjoyed the festival

B. expected much from the festival

C. found the event very funny

D. liked listening to music at home

解析:推理题。根据第三段第一句可知,作者觉得这次经历不仅非常

好玩,还很有趣,所以选项C(发现这个活动很有趣)正确。选项A(充

分地享受了这次音乐会)文中并未提及。第三段第二句提到,作者之

前没有参加过这样的活动,不知道会有什么值得期待,故选项B(对这

次音乐节很期待)错误。选项D(喜欢在家听音乐)文中并未提及。

purpose of this passage is to ______.(B)

A. raise funds for environment protection

B. highlight that being green can be fun

C. encourage people to go to music festivals

D. introduce the author’s favourite musicians

解析:主旨题。文中整篇都在讲环保,并在最后两段强调了做一些非

常好玩和有趣的事,并且不会对环境造成巨大的破坏,这是很好的主

意,所以选项B(强调环保很有趣)正确。选项A(为环保筹资)文中未提

及。选项C(鼓励人们去音乐节)与主旨不符,作者并没有这个意图。

选项D(介绍作者最喜欢的音乐家)错误,文中并没有提及音乐家。

Chokwe Selassie is on a mission to help drivers avoid potholes (路面

坑洞). The eighth-grader got his inspiration on a recent morning, when

his mother was driving him to school. Their car was damaged as it went

over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of

Jackson, Mississippi.

Selassie got the idea to develop the app from______.(A)

A. his own experience

B. a recent news report

C. his friends

D. his mother

解析:细节题。根据文章第一段第二、三句可知,乔科伟-塞拉西是

在最近的一个早晨他母亲开车送他去上学的时候得到的灵感,他们的

车在经过一个坑洞时被损坏了,所以选项A(他自己的经历)正确。

you are close to a pothole, your phone will warn you

with______.(C)

A. a voice report

B. a red light

C. a beeping sound

D. a map image

解析:细节题。根据文章第二段第三句可知,如果你靠近坑洞,你的

手机就会发出“哔哔”声警告你,所以选项C(“哔哔”声)正确。选项A(语

音提示)文中未提及。第二段第二句提到,应用程序检测到坑洞时会

亮红灯,而不是靠近坑洞时亮红灯,故选项B(红灯)错误。选项D(一

张地图图像)文中未提及。

s can also use Chokwe’ s app to______.(C)

A. report emergency traffic problems

B. look for information other than potholes

C. choose safer routes without potholes

D. avoid traffic jam caused by potholes

解析:细节题。根据文章第二段最后一句可知,司机也可以使用该应

用程序上报他们遇到的任何坑洞,并寻找其他路线,从而避开有坑洞

的路线,所以选项C(选择没有坑洞的更安全的路线)正确。选项A(上

报紧急交通事故)、选项B(寻找除了坑洞外的其他信息)和选项D(避免

坑洞引起的交通堵塞)文中均未提及。

develop the app, Chokwe and his friends______.(B)

A. reported potholes to 311 call system

B. conducted field trips on the streets

C. built their own information database

D. collected samples in their neighborhood

解析:细节题。根据文章第三段倒数第二句可知,乔科伟和他的朋友

们在设计这款软件时,也曾在城市的每一条街上走过,因此选项B(在

街道上进行实地考察)正确。由第三段第三句可知,是市民拨打311

上报坑洞问题,而不是乔科伟和他的朋友们上报坑洞问题,故选项

A(向311呼叫系统上报坑洞)错误。选项C(建立他们自己的信息数据

库)文中未提及。由第三段最后一句可知,他们从杰克逊最繁忙的10

条街道收集样本,故选项D(从他们所在的街区收集样本)错误。

can learn from the last paragraph that Chokwe______.(D)

A. is quite successful

B. is facing difficulties

C. has regained hope

D. has a great ambition

解析:推理题。文章最后一段提到,虽然这款应用程序现在仍然只限

于杰克逊的10条街道,但乔科伟希望以后能将杰克逊的每条街道都

包括在内,甚至在全国范围内运行。由此可见,乔科伟是很有雄心壮

志的,所以选项D(有远大志向)正确。这个应用程序现在还不能上市,

故选项A(非常成功)错误。选项B(正面临困难)和选项C(重获希望)文

中均未提及。

词汇和语法结构

ments in the photography of moving objects ______ in both the

United States and Europe well before 1990.(C)

A. have been conducting

B. were conducting

C. had been conducted

D. are conducted

解析:本题考查时态。句意:在1990年之前,在美国和欧洲就已经

进行了移动物体摄影的实验。根据题干中的时间“before 1990(1990年

之前)”判断该句时态为过去完成时。选项A为现在完成进行时,选项

B为过去进行时,选项D为现在时,所以本题选C。

, people live in a world ______new technology is taking an

increasing proportion in their lives.(B)

A. when

B. where

C. what

D. which

解析:本题考查定语从句的引导词。句意:如今,人们生活的世界中,

新科技在生活中所占的比例越来越大。该定语从句先行词为world,

且引导词在定语从句中作地点状语,所以引导词选where。所以本题

选B。

r______, there will be an open air party with live music here

this weekend.(D)

A. permits

B. should permit

C. will permit

D. permitting

解析:本题考查独立主格结构。句意:如果天气允许的话,这周末将

会举行一个有现场音乐的户外派对。该独立结构形式为“名词+现在分

词”,在句中作条件状语,weather permitting=if weather permits。所

以本题选D。

lay them ______.(A)

A. off

B. aside

解析:本题考查固定搭配。句意:当工会把工人们组织起来的时候,

雇主很难将他们解雇。lay off“解雇”;lay aside“放弃”;lay out“安排,

布置”;lay down“放下,规定”。根据句意,本题选A。

are sure that______to do this face to face, he would express

himself more easily.(A)

A. were he to try

B. would he try

C. was he trying

D. if he tries

解析:本题考查虚拟语气。句意:我们肯定,如果他面对面做这件事

的话,他可以更容易地表达自己的意思。that引导的宾语从句中含有

虚拟语气,由后半句可知,是对未来情况的虚拟,所以条件从句中的

谓语动词应用过去式(be通常用were),即:if he were to try to do this

face to face。if从句中如果含had,were,should时,可将它们提前,

省略if,所以本题选A。

different attitudes to the difficulties______different results.(B)

A. arrived at

B. led to

C. caused by

D. turned out

解析:本题考查短语辨析。句意:他们对待困难的不同态度导致了不

都可以一天24小时随时取到钱。wherever引导地点状语;whenever

据located可知,此处表示地点,所以本题选A。

B. to be completed

C. will have been completed

D. will be completed

解析:本题考查不定式作定语。句意:如果这项计划在月底完成的工

作被延误的话,建筑公司会被重罚。不定式短语作后置定语,表示未

完成,to be completed=which is to be completed,所以本题选B。

swiftly come into close ______with the local people.(B)

A. carriage

B. contact

with______.(B)

A. him

B. it

意,本题选A。

before______seen any lady who can play tennis as well as

Maria.(C)

A. had he

B. he had

C. has he

D. he has

解析:本题考查倒装结构。句意:他以前从没见过任何像玛利亚一样

网球打得那么好的女士。当表示否定意义的词,如never,no,not

位于句首时,句子要部分倒装,即把助动词提前。根据句意,句子应

该用现在完成时,所以本题选C。

man or a woman.(D)

A. how

considered.(C)

A. It

B. Which

C. As

D. That

解析:本题考查定语从句。句意:通常情况下,一个新的想法要考虑

更多的情况。该句为非限制性定语从句,先行词为后面的整个句子,

as可提至句首。which也可引导非限制性定语从句,但它不能位于句

首,故排除。所以本题选C。

A. few

B. fewer

C. little

D. less

解析:本题考查the more…the more…结构。句意:越长大,我越珍惜

朋友,然而用来维系老朋友之间关系的时间却越来越少了。根据结构,

此处应该用比较级,time为不可数名词,应用little的比较级less来

修饰,所以本题选D。
