Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks (群)so large that they the sky for hours.It was calculated that when it population reached its highest point ,they were more than 3billlion passenger pigeons—a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati. Sadly the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were most abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands, Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants. By the closing decades of the 19th century ,the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by American’s need for wood, which scattered (驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again. In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wi pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time , a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914. 24. In the 18th and early 19teh centuries, passenger pigeons____. A. were the biggest bird in the world B. lived mainly in the south of America C. did great harm to the natural environment D. were the largest bird population in the Us 25. The underlined word “ undoing” probably refers to the pigeons’ ____. A. escape B. ruin C. liberation D. evolution 26. What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons? A. To seek pleasure. B. To save other birds. C. To make money. D. To protect crops. 27. What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan? A. It was ignored by the public. B. It was declared too late. C. It was unfair. D. It was strict. 【考点】考察历史知识类阅读 【文章大意】本文主要讲述的是美国历史上鸽子曾经是最多的鸟类，但是人们不加控制的捕杀让鸽子的数 量迅速减少，虽然很多地方都采取了措施，但是效果仍然不明显。 24. 【答案】D 【试题解析】细节题。根据文章第一段 3,4 行 It was calculated that when it population reached its highest point ,they were more than 3billlion passenger pigeons—a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world.可知鸽子在当时是美国 数量最多的鸟类。故 D 正确。 25. 【答案】B 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第二段 3,4 行 there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands, Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time.可知很多鸽子都被捕捉并杀死卖往餐厅。所以该词应该 是指鸽子遇见了毁灭性的打击。故 B 正确。 26. 【答案】C 【试题解析】推理题。根据第二段最后一句 The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants. 可知鸽子被捕捉并背运往大城市卖给了各个餐厅，说明人们捕捉鸽子是为了挣钱。故 C 正确。 27. 【答案】B 【试题解析】推理题。根据本段第二行 but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wi pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900.可知虽然制定 了法律，但是十年以后还没有看见成规模的很多的鸽子，说明这部法律的发行已经晚了。故 B 正确。 【长难句解析】 1.when it population reached its highest point ,they were more than 3billlion passenger pigeons—a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world. 【翻译】当鸽子的数量到达顶峰的时候，有超过 30 亿只，这个数字是美国所有的鸟类的百分之 20-40，让 鸽子成为世界上数量最多的鸟。 【分析】本节中获得 when 引导的是一个时间状语从句。同时句中的现在分词短语 making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world 充当的是结果状语，表示意料之中的结果。当鸽子的数量达到了 30 亿只，毫无 疑问它是世界上数量最多的鸟。不定式做结果状语时，常常表示意料之外的结果。 2. In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. 【翻译】在 1897 年，密西根州通过了一项法律，禁止人们捕杀鸽子。但是十年以后在这个州也没有看见 大规模的鸽群。 【分析】本句中的现在分词短语 prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons 作为定语修饰名词 a law；因为动 词 prohibite 与名词 a law 之间构成主动关系，所以使用现在分词做定语。后半句中的 by then 中的 by 到… 时，经常与完成时连用，如果与过去的时间连用，则使用过去完成时。本题中的 then 是过去的试卷，所以 后面使用了 had been。 C A typical lion tamer（驯兽师）in people’s mind is an entertainer holding a whip( 鞭) at a chair. The whip gets all of the attention, but it’s mostly for show. In reality, it’ the chair that does the important work. When a lion tamer holds a chair n front of the lion’s face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided, the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair. How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g. lose weight., start a business, travel more)—only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress? This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is been the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end result is that we feel like we cant’ focus or that we’re focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving. It doesn’t have to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is focus on one thing,. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people. If you have somewhere you want to go, something you want to accomplish, someone you want to become…take immediate action. If you’re clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way. 28. Why does the lion tamer use a chair? A. To trick the lion. B. To show off his skills. C. To get ready for a fight. D. To entertain the audience. 29. In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair? A. They feel puzzled over choices. B. They hold on to the wrong things. C. They find it hard to make changes. D. They have to do something for show 30. What is the author’s attitude towards the expert mentioned in Paragraph3? A. Tolerant. B. Doubtful. C. Respectful. D. Supportive. 31. When the world is “ waving a chair in your face”, you’re advised to _____ A. wait for a better chance B. break your old habits C. make a quick decision D. ask for clear guidance 【考点】考察社会生活类阅读 【文章大意】本文通过驯兽师驯狮子的时候把椅子放在狮子前面引起讨论，当我们人类面对很多选择时候， 我们应该怎么做。在文章中作者建议我们遇见这种情况，要离开采取行动。 28. 【答案】A 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第一段最后一句 When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.可知把椅子放在狮子前面的时候，狮子被椅子的四条 腿迷惑住了，不知道该攻击那一个。所以椅子起着迷惑狮子的作用。故 A 正确。 29. 【答案】A 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第二段 How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g. lose weight., start a business, travel more)—only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?可知当我们面临着很多选择的时候，我们也会很困惑，不知道该选择哪一种。这一点和面对椅子 的狮子是相似的。故 A 正确。 30. 【答案】B 【试题解析】推理题。根据第三段 The end result is that we feel like we cant’ focus or that we’re focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving.说 明作者对于专家有怀疑，因为我们最后采取的行动较少，取得的进步也小。故 B 正确。 31【答案】.C 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章最后一段 2,3 行 All you need to do is focus on one thing,. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people.可知当我们面对多种选择的时 候，我们需要的只是立刻采取行动。故 C 正确。 【长难句解析】 1.The whip gets all of the attention, but it’s mostly for show. In reality, it is the chair that does the important work. 【翻译】驯兽师的鞭子引起了人们的注意，但这只是为了表演。实际上，起着重要作用的是椅子。 【分析】本句中含有一个强调句 it is the chair that does the important work.。强调的是句子的主语 the chair。 强调句的用法及判断，一般说来，如果把句子中的 It is/was…that 去掉，稍加调整语序，能还原成完整的句 子，并且句子意思依然完整，则为强调句型，否则为其他从句， 我们应熟记这些基本规则。 2. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is focus on one thing, 【翻译】任何时候你发现你的面前有椅子在挥动的时候，请记住这一点：你需要的是集中注意力于一件事 情。 【分析】本句中的 anythime 引导的是一个时间状语从句，后面的 remember 引导的祈使句是主语。要特别 注意 All you need to do is focus on one thing,中在 is 的后面省略了 to。当主语中含有动词 do 的某种形式时， 表语中不定式的 to 可以省略。 D. As more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational , Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations _UNESCO and National Geographic among them—have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect. Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Centre Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal. Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India , Nepal, Bhutan, and China . But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record. At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials-including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes—which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection. Now, through the two organizations that he has founded –the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project __Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, for the world available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities. 32. Many scholars are making efforts to ______. A. promote global languages B. rescue disappearing languages C. search for language communities D. set up language research organizations. 33. What does “that tradition’ in Paragraph 3 refer to ? A. Having full records of the languages B. Writing books on language teaching. C. Telling stories about language users D. Living with the native speaker. 34. What is Turin’s book based on? A. The cultual studies B. The documents available at Yale. C. His language research in Bhutan. D. His personal experience in Nepal. 35. Which of the following best describe Turin’s work? A. Write, sell and donate. B. Record, repair and reward. C. Collect, protect and reconnect. D. Design, experiment and report. 【考点】考察文化教育类阅读 【文章大意】本文告诉我们世界上有很多语言和文化即将消失，有很多学者正在努力保护这些文化，如 Mark Turin。他们收集，整理这些文化有关的材料，运用现代电子技术进行保存或保护等等。 32. 【答案】B 【试题解析】细节题。根据第二段 2,3 行 have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.可知很多学者正在记录这些即将消失的语言和文化。以防止这些语言和文化永远地消 失。他们在挽救这些文化。故 C 正确。 33. 【答案】A 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第二段 have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.可知很多学者正在记录这些即将消失的语言和文化。以防止这些语言和文化永远地消失。而 Mark Turin 正在 following in that tradition（追随这样的传统）。所以这里的 It 就是指前面一段里的学者在 记录这些即将消失的语言和文化。故 A 正确。 34. 【答案】D 【试题解析】细节题。根据文章第三段中的 grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.这本书的内容出自他在尼泊尔生活，工作以及抚养家人的经历。说明这本书是以他的个人 经历为基础的。故 D 正确。 35. 【答案】C 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第四段 Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India , Nepal, Bhutan, and China .他一直都在收集这些材料；根据文章第五段 which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection 可知他在努力这些材料。再根据文章最后一段 the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities 可知 C 项说法是正确的。 【长难句解析】 1.In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century 【翻译】实际上，到下个世纪现有的 6000-7000 种被讲的语言中有一半都可能会消失。 【分析】本句中含有一个过去分词短语 spoken around the world today 作为定语修饰前面的名词 languages。 相当于定语从句 which are spoken around the world today。 2. Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India , Nepal, Bhutan, and China . 【翻译】对于 Turin 来说记录 Thangmi 语言和文化只是一个开始，他还努力喜马拉雅山地区的印度，尼泊 尔，不丹和中国的语言和传统都包括在他的工作里。 【分析】本句中 Documenting the Thangmi language and culture 是动名词短语在句中做主语。后面句中含有 一个非限制性定语从句 who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India , Nepal, Bhutan, and China .修饰先行词 Turin。 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 3 分，满分 15 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。 The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. 36 .

Experimenting with materials to create something new can go a long way in helping them develop their creativity. 3.Personal skills Understanding how others feel can be a challenge for kids.

Being able to read people helps kid from misreading a situation and jumping to false conclusions. 39 . “Why do you think she’s crying?” “Can you tell how that man is feeling by looking at his face?” “If someone were to do that to you, how would you feel?” 4.

Being able to communicate ideas in a meaningful way is a valuable skill. 36．【答案】D 【试题解析】推理题。根据前一句 The jobs of the future have not yet been invented 未来的工作还没有发明 出来。所以我们也不知道它们究竟是什么样子的。更谈不上让我们的孩子为之做好准备。我们能做的就是 让我们的孩子练好传统的技能。 37. 【答案】A 【试题解析】推理题。根据下一行“What ingredients (配料)can we add to make these pancakes even better next time ?”可知本段讲述的是做饭，这也是一项传统技能。我们要鼓励孩子和我们一起做饭，通过孩子的 好奇心来培养这种传统的技能。 38. 【答案】C 【试题解析】推理题。根据前面一句 True creativity is the ability to take something existing and create something new 真正的创造能力是从现存的东西里创造出新的东西的能力。所以我们给孩子机会让他们用 新的方法来考虑这些现有的事物，以此来培养他们的创造能力。只有 C 项符合上下文串联。 39. 【答案】F 【试题解析】根据下面的三个问题“Why do you think she’s crying?” “Can you tell how that man is feeling by looking at his face?” “If someone were to do that to you, how would you feel?” 可知我们要让孩子来思考为什么别人会有各种行为。以此培养他们理解他人思想的能力，以免错误的判断 形势得出错误的结论。所以问一下故事里的有关问题可以培养孩子这方面的能力。F 项符合上下文语境。 40. 【答案】G 【试题解析】根据 music, acting, drawing,building, photography.可知这些都是我们表达自己思想的有效方法， 能够让孩子有这些有效的方法进行表达思想也是一种很重要的技巧。我们要培养孩子这方面的能力。故 G 项符合上下文语境。 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分 55 分） 第一节完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 40 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填人空白处的 最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 As a general rule, all forms of activity lead to boredom when they are performed on a routine(常规)basis.

In 1969,the pollution was terrible along the Cuyahoga River Cleveland, Ohio. It __61____（be）unimaginable that it could ever be cleaned up. The river was so polluted that it ____62____(actual)caught fire and burned. Now, ears later, this river is one of _63___most outstanding examples of environmental cleanup.

Finally, that hard work paid off and now the water in the river is___66_____(clean) than ever. Maybe you are facing an impossible situation. Maybe you leave a habit __67___is driving your family crazy. Possibly you drink too much or don’t know how to control your credit card use. When you face such an impossible situation ,don’t you want a quick fix and something to change immediately? While there are ___68_______(amaze) stories of instant transformation, for most of us the___69_______(change) are gradual and require a lot of effort and work, like cleaning up a polluted river. Just be 70 (patience). 61. 【答案】was 【试题解析】根据本段第一句 In 1969,the pollution was terrible 可知本段叙述的是过去发生的事情。the Cuyahoga River Cleveland 在过去被污染地如此地严重，过去没有人能够想象倒这条河被清理干净。 62. 【答案】actually 【试题解析】本句中使用副词 actually 做状语修饰谓语动词 caught fire，actual 是形容词，不能在句中做状 语，通常只做定语或者表语修饰名词。 63. 【答案】the 【试题解析】本句横线后面的 most 是最高级的形式，所以使用 the most outstanding 的形式。 64. 【答案】 or 【试题解析】句义：但是这条河流的改变不是几天或者几个月的事情。本句中的 or“或者”表示选择的意思。 65. 【答案】 to reduce 【试题解析】考察固定句式：It takes sb some time to do sth 做某事花了某人…时间；句中的不定式 to reduce he industrial pollution and clean the water 是句子真正的主语。前面的 it 是形式主语。 66. 【答案】cleaner 【试题解析】句义：最后人们的努力得到了回报，现在这条河比以前更干净了。横线后面有 than，说明横 线上应该使用比较级的形式。 67. 【答案】that/which 【试题解析】本句是一个定语从句，先行词是 a habit，定语从句中使用关系动词 that/which 指代先行词在 句做主语。 68. 【答案】 amazing 【试题解析】现在分词转换的形容词常常修饰事物，过去分词转换的形容词常常修饰人或者与人有关的事 物。横线后面是名词 story，说明应该使用现在分词转换的形容词。 69. 【答案】 changes 【试题解析】本句中谓语部分是系动词 are，说明主语应该是一个复数形式的名词，所以使用 changes。 70. 【答案】 Patient 【试题解析】横线前面有系动词 be，说明本句是一个祈使句 be patient 耐心一点。因为很多变化都是逐渐 发生的，需要很多努力，我们要耐心一点。 第四部分写作（共两节；满分 35 分） 第一节短文改错（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 假段定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有 10 处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处 加一个漏字符号(  )，并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用(＼)划掉。 修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 1． 只允许修改 10 处，多者（从第 11 处起）不计分。 Nearly five years before ,and with the help by our father, my sister and I planted some cherry tomatoes（圣 女果）in our back garden, since then---for all these year---we had been allowing tomatoes to self seed where they please . As result, the plants are growing somewhere. The fruits are small in size, but juicy and taste. There are so much that we often share them with our neighbors .Although we allow tomato plants to grow in the same place year after year, but we have never had any disease or insect attack problem. We are growing wonderfully tomatoes at on cost! 1. 【答案】before 改为 ago 【试题解析】一段时间和 before 连用的时候常常和完成时连用。一段时间和 age 连用，常常和过去时连用。 句义：大约 5 年前，在父亲的帮助下，妹妹和我种了一些圣女果。 2. 【答案】by 改为 of 【试题解析】考察固定搭配 with the help of…在…的帮助下。 3. 【答案】year 改为 years 【试题解析】本句前面的形容词 these 常常修饰可数名词复数形式，所以使用名词 years。 4. 【答案】had 改为 have 【试题解析】本句的时间状语是 all these years，通常和现在完成进行时连用。所以使用 have been doing 的形式。 5. 【答案】As 后面加 a 【试题解析】考察固定搭配 as a result 结果是；句义：结果，圣女果长得到处都是。 6. 【答案】somewhere 改为 everywhere 【试题解析】根据上下文可知我们让圣女果自己繁殖，所以到处长得都是圣女果。 7. 【答案】taste 改为 tasty 【试题解析】本句中的形容词 juicy 和 tasty 都是形容词和前面的 small 一样都和系动词 are 构成系表结构。 这些水果很小，但是多汁而且味道很好。 8. 【答案】much 改为 many 【试题解析】本句中的 many 指代可数名词 cherry tomatoes 的复数形式，所以不能使用 much 修饰。 9. 【答案】but 改为 yet 或者去掉 but 【试题解析】连词 although 不能和 but 连用，因为这两个词都是连词，不能一起连用。可以把 but 改为副 词 yet。 10. 【答案】wonderfully 改为形容词 wonderful 【试题解析】本句中使用形容词 wonderful 做定语来修饰后面的名词 tomatoes。 笫二节书面表达（满分 25 分） 假定你是李华，计划暑假间去英国学习英语，为期六周。下面的广告引起了你的注意，请给该校写封信， 询问有关情况（箭头所指内容） 注意：1．词数 100 左右； 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 3．参考词汇：住宿-accommodation 【考点】考察应用文（书信）写作 【写作指导】 本文属于应用文中的书信，李华写信给英国的一个培训中心询问暑假培训的详细内容。使用第一人称和将 来时为主的时态。 要点：1.你计划去英国学习英语；2.看见了对方的广告，引起你的注意。想询问具体信息。3.该校培训班的 开始日期，班级规模，周课时，费用以及食宿方式。4.期待对方的回信。 写作时要选择自己熟悉的短语或者句型，在你的能力范围之内，选择句式时要赋予变化，多注意灵活使用 定语从句，包括非限制性定语从句等高级句式。 【一句多译】 我是一名来自中国的学生，我计划在假期里到英国参加一个暑期培训班。 （1）I am a student in China and I plan to go to Britain to attend a summer school during the vacation. （2）As a student from China, I plan to go to Britain to attend a summer school during the vacation. 【参考范文】 Dear Sir/ Madam, I am a student in China and I plan to go to Britain to attend a summer school during the vacation.
