I’m a commercial diver for Global Divers in Louisiana. I perform underwater repairs on offshore drilling equipment.
My office lies at the bottom of the sea. I wear a suit to the office. It’s a wet suit.
This time of year the water is quite cool. So what we do to keep warm is this: We have a diesel-powered industrial water heater. This equipment sucks the water out of the sea, heating it to a delightful temperature. It then pumps it down to the diver through a garden tube, which is tied to the air tube.
I’ve used it several times with no complaints. What I do when I get to the bottom and start working is take the tube and stuff it down the back of my wet suit. This floods my whole suit with warm water. It’s fantastic because it’s like working in a bathtub.
Last week, I had a bad day at the office. When I started working, everything was going well until all of a sudden, my bottom started to itch(痒). So, of course, I scratched it. This, of course, only made things worse. Within a few seconds,my bottom started to feel a burning sensation. I pulled the tube out from my back, thinking that maybe the water was too hot, but the damage was
done.
In severe pain, I realized what had happened. The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish(水母)and pumped it directly into my suit. When I had scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually touching the jellyfish, and its poisonous tentacles(触角)stung me on the crack of my bottom.
I immediately informed the dive supervisor of my problem over the communicator. His instructions were unclear due to the fact that he and five other divers were all laughing loudly. 35 minutes later, I arrived at the surface. I was wearing nothing but my helmet. And my bottom was swollen.
4. What did the author think of the water heater before the incident?
A. It was useless. B. It was dangerous.
C. It was satisfying. D. It needed to be improved.
5. What actually caused the author’s discomfort while working?
A. A jellyfish. B. A bathtub.
C. The hot water. D. The wet suit.
6. How did the author probably feel after he went ashore?
A. Excited. B. Delighted. C. Calm. D. Embarrassed.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. My Daily Work B. A Bad Day at Work
C. The Hardships of My Job D. An Office under Water
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B
【4题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段中的“We have a diesel-powered industrial water heater. This equipment sucks the water out of the sea, heating it to a delightful temperature.”(我们有一个柴油驱动的工业热水器。这台设备把海水吸出,加热到令人愉快的温度。),可推断出作者在发生事故前认为热水器令人满意。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“In severe pain, I realized what had happened. The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish(水母)and pumped it directly into my suit.”
(在极度痛苦中,我意识到发生了什么。热水器吸了一只水母,直接把它灌进我的衣服里。),可知是水母让作者在工作时感到不适。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段中的“35 minutes later, I arrived at the surface. I was wearing nothing but my helmet. And my bottom was swollen.”(35分钟后,我到达水面。我只戴着头盔什么也没穿。我的屁股肿了。),由此判断出光着身子、肿着屁股的作者上岸后会感到尴尬。故选D项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。文章讲述了,作者作为潜水员,一天在海底工作时,加热器把一只有毒的水母吸进了衣服里面,使得作者屁股很痛很痒,最后作者光着身子、肿着屁股上岸,可知这是作者在工作中的糟糕一天,B项“糟糕的一天工作”为短文最佳标题。故选B项。
C
Is it to control their body temperature? Save energy? Find food? Tiger sharks at the Ningaloo Reef are thought to search the seafloor for prey as they dive down and swim up. But could there be other reasons why the sharks often move up and down through the water column?
That’s what UWA student Sammy is hoping to find out for her Ph.D. research. Sammy caught 24 tiger sharks at the Ningaloo Reef and attached tracking devices to them for up to 48 hours. The devices recorded activity rates and other data 20 times a second. The tags also contained video cameras, so Sammy could see the habitats the sharks moved through and the animals they met. She watched how the sharks reacted to prey and how the prey reacted to them.
Tiger sharks can be pretty lazy — something as simple as a turtle noticing a shark and turning away could cause the shark not to bother hunting it.
“Stomach content analysis has found their normal prey items, such as turtles, rays and fish,” Sammy said. “But have also found some really interesting things, such as license plates, cans and nails.”
Sammy said that studying tiger sharks can help her better understand the ecosystem as a whole. How they move through the Ningaloo Reef and feed can help her figure out how they might be impacting the animals beneath them in the food chain.
But hours of watching tiger sharks hunt hasn’t put Sammy off the animals at all. She said her time tagging sharks at the Ningaloo Reef was the best month of her Ph.D., if not her life. “At first, I was a bit apprehensive about it ... getting that close to some very big animals,” Sammy said.
“But they were very frightened once you had them restrained alongside the boat. They’d just sit there; you’d attach the tag; you’d take the line off and they’d just swim off really calmly. It was pretty amazing to see these. They’re just absolutely beautiful animals.”
8. What can be the function of the first paragraph?
A. To give an example. B. To introduce the topic.
C. To make a comparison. D. To provide the background.
9. What does Sammy want to know through her research?
A. Why tiger sharks swim up and down.
B. What tiger sharks like to hunt and eat.
C. How tiger sharks react in front of humans.
D. Whether tiger sharks are endangered or not.
10. What can be inferred from the stomach content analysis?
A. Tiger sharks live happily in the sea. B. Tiger sharks are sensitive to some food.
C. Tiger sharks are lazier than expected. D. Tiger sharks have a very broad diet.
11. What does the underlined word “apprehensive” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Careless. B. Curious. C. Fearful. D. Cautious.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段Is it to control their body temperature? Save energy? Find food? Tiger sharks at the Ningaloo Reef are thought to search the seafloor for prey as they dive down and swim up. But could there be other reasons why the sharks often move up and down through the water column?可知是为了控制体温吗?节约能量吗?找到食物吗?Ningaloo Reef的虎鲨被认为是在海底寻找猎物,它们潜到水下,然后游上来。但是,鲨鱼经常在水柱中上下移动还有其他原因吗?以及第二段中That’s what UWA student Sammy is hoping to find out for her Ph.D. research.可知这正是UWA学生Sammy希望在她的博士研究中找到的答案。由此可推知,第一段提出“鲨鱼经常在水柱中上下移动还有其他原因吗?”的疑问,接着文章说明Sammy通过研究来找出鲨鱼经常在水柱中上下移动的原因,可知第一段的作用是引入主题。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句But could there be other reasons why the sharks often
move up and down through the water column? (但是,鲨鱼经常在水柱中上下移动还有其他原因吗?)以及第二段第一句That’s what UWA student Sammy is hoping to find out for her Ph.D. research. (这正是UWA学生Sammy希望在她的博士研究中找到的答案)由此可知,Sammy想通过她的研究知道为什么虎鲨会游上游下。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Stomach content analysis has found their normal prey items, such as turtles, rays and fish,” Sammy said. “But have also found some really interesting things, such as license plates, cans and nails.”可知“胃内容物分析发现了它们的正常猎物,如海龟、鳐鱼和鱼类,”Sammy说。“但也发现了一些非常有趣的东西,比如车牌、易拉罐和钉子。”由此可推知,从胃内容物分析中可以推断出虎鲨的饮食非常广泛。故选D。
【11题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后文getting that close to some very big animals可知Sammy一开始要去如此接近一些非常大的动物,她觉得有点担心。由此可知,划线单词意思为“担心的”。A. Careless.粗心的;B. Curious.好奇的;C. Fearful.担心的;D. Cautious.谨慎的。故选C。
D
Do you sometimes find yourself drawing random patterns(图案)during meetings and lectures? Some people believe it shows you aren’t listening or paying attention. However, there are studies which claim the opposite, and that doodling might actually be beneficial.
Doodling seems to be popular. In the past, it was seen as a mindless activity and a product of the absentminded. However, in 2016, an article on the Harvard University website discussed the idea that random drawings may assist memory retention(保持)and concentration.
The article stresses that 26 of 44 American presidents were known to doodle, with Ronald Reagan famous for drawing cowboys. A 2009 study conducted by psychologist Jackie Andrade asked 40 people to listen to a “dull and boring” voice message. Half of the group were asked to doodle and shade in a picture. Those who did were able to recall 29% more of the information contained in the message.
Some experts believe that willingly accepting your creative and artistic sides during meetings may engage your mind. Jesse Prinz, a famous professor of philosophy, actively encourages his students to doodle. He believes that doodling is the “attentional sweet spot”.
And it might not just be good for your concentration. An artist known as Mr Doodle has made a career out of his scribbles(乱涂乱画).He sells his art online and also goes to people’s homes to decorate their walls.
It seems that random drawing to aid concentration might be becoming more of a thing. People like Sunni Brown, an advocate for doodling, teach adults how to sketch and scribble in the workplace. So, the next time you see someone randomly drawing pictures during a meeting, it might be a sign that they are listening more than you think.
12. Which phrase has the same meaning as doodling?
A. A product of the absentminded.
B. Random drawing.
C. Scribbles in the workplace.
D. Drawing on the walls.
13. The author refers to Ronald Reagan in order to ________.
A. inform readers of Reagan’s ability
B. provide some background information
C. introduce a new topic for further discussion
D. give an example of the advantages of doodling
14. Why does Jesse Prinz think that doodling is the “attentional sweet spot”?
A. He thinks that it draws more attention.
B. He thinks that it promises a good career.
C. He believes that it helps to engage the mind.
D. He believes that it can bring economic benefits.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To state the benefits that you can get from random drawing.
B. To provide guidance on leading a random drawing life.
C. To stress the need of distraction at work and in our life.
D. To suggest a way of pursuing concentration in our lifelong career.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Do you sometimes find yourself drawing random patterns (
图案)during meetings and lectures? Some people believe it shows you aren’t listening or paying attention. However, there are studies which claim the opposite, and that doodling might actually be beneficial.”你有时会发现自己在会议和讲座期间画随机的图案吗?有些人认为这表明你没有在倾听或注意。然而,也有研究得出相反的结论,涂鸦实际上可能是有益的。可知,“Random drawing”和doodling有相同的含义。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“However, in 2016, an article on the Harvard University website discussed the idea that random drawings may assist memory retention(保持)and concentration.”然而,在2016年,在哈佛大学网站上的一篇文章讨论了随机绘画可能有助于记忆力的保持和提高记忆力专注度。以及第三段“The article stresses that 26 of 44 American presidents were known to doodle, with Ronald Reagan famous for drawing cowboys.”这篇文章强调说,44位美国总统中有26位都有涂鸦的习惯,其中罗纳德·里根以画牛仔而闻名。可知,文中提到罗纳德·里根是为了举例说明涂鸦的好处。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Some experts believe that willingly accepting your creative and artistic sides during meetings may engage your mind. Jesse Prinz, a famous professor of philosophy, actively encourages his students to doodle. He believes that doodling is the “attentional sweet spot”.”一些专家认为,在会议中欣然接受你创造性和艺术性的一面可能会吸引你的思维。著名的哲学教授Jesse Prinz积极鼓励他的学生涂鸦。他认为涂鸦是“注意力的最佳点”。可知,Jesse Prinz认为涂鸦是“注意力的最佳点”,是因为涂鸦有助于调动思维。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“However, there are studies which claim the opposite, and that doodling might actually be beneficial.”然而,也有研究得出相反的结论,涂鸦实际上可能是有益的。以及后文介绍涂鸦的好处,可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是陈述涂鸦给我们带来的好处。故选A项。
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。
Hanfu is a traditional robe(长袍) of the Han people, which has a history of thousands of years
in China. The number of people adopting the ancient style of dress in modem times has. grown significantly these days. The hanfu clothing industry is now worth one billion yuan(US$140.7 million). ___16___ However, it may be too early to call it a “revival”(复兴).
___17___ And it sounds impressive that about 2.2 million people in China wear hanfu. But considering that the clothing retail(零售) industry was worth 1.92 trillion yuan in 2017, one billion yuan is a small number. Similarly, 2.2 million seems a small number considering that China’s population is more than 1.3 billion.
Having played a major role in China’s clothing history, hanfu remained popular until the late 1600s. ___18___ After pursuing Western fashion, it’s natural that Chinese people are returning to traditional clothing in search of their cultural identity.
But what is the obstacle of hanfu’s revival, despite people’s love for it? ___19___ The hanfu trend appeared five years ago, so the industry is quite young. And many tailors are still learning how best to make hanfu from historical TV dramas and so on. But most of these historical dramas are fictional, as are many of the clothes the characters wear.
Short-video and live-streaming apps are the other sources that promote the hanfu culture. But most of these live streamers have their own shops. ___20___ To fulfill their selfish interests, those behind the short videos and live-streaming blame one another instead of working together to revive the hanfu culture.
If these live-streamers really want to develop the hanfu culture, they should change their attitude and work together for the betterment of the hanfu industry.
A. One billion yuan is a huge figure.
B. The lack of a standard seems to be the main problem.
C. The popularity of hanfu reflects the diversity of Chinese culture.
D. This means they promote hanfu culture to increase their own profits.
E. Even the traditional Korean and Japanese costumes originated from it.
F. This has prompted many to say it symbolizes the revival of Han or hanfu culture.
G It is natural for Chinese people to show their love for traditional culture by wearing hanfu.
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. E 19. B 20. D
【16题详解】
根据上文The hanfu clothing industry is now worth one billion yuan(US$140.7 million).可知汉服产业现在价值10亿元(1.407亿美元)。以及后文However, it may be too early to call it a “revival”(复兴).可知然而,现在称其为“复兴”可能还为时过早。由此可知,汉服产业的价值巨大促使许多人说这象征着汉服文化的复兴,后文则指出现在说“复兴”为之过早。后文中revival可对应到F选项中revival。故F选项“这促使许多人说它象征着汉服文化的复兴”符合语境,故选F。
【17题详解】
根据后文And it sounds impressive that about 2.2 million people in China wear hanfu. But considering that the clothing retail(零售) industry was worth 1.92 trillion yuan in 2017, one billion yuan is a small number. Similarly, 2.2 million seems a small number considering that China’s population is more than 1.3 billion.可知中国大约有220万人穿汉服,这听起来让人印象深刻。但考虑到2017年服装零售行业价值1.92万亿元,10亿元只是一个小数目。同样,考虑到中国的人口超过13亿,220万似乎是个小数目。由此可知,第一段中提到的汉服产业现在价值10亿元是一个巨大的数字,但是考虑到2017年服装零售行业价值1.92万亿元,10亿元只是一个小数目。故A选项“10亿元是一个巨大的数字”符合语境,故选A。
【18题详解】
根据上文Having played a major role in China’s clothing history, hanfu remained popular until the late 1600s.可知汉服在中国服装史上扮演了重要角色,直到17世纪末期汉服仍然很流行。由此可知,本句是在说明汉服在中国服装历史中扮演的重要角色,以及对其他国家传统服饰的影响,甚至连韩国和日本的传统服饰都起源于汉服。故E选项“甚至连韩国和日本的传统服饰都起源于此”符合语境,故选E。
【19题详解】
根据后文The hanfu trend appeared five years ago, so the industry is quite young. And many tailors are still learning how best to make hanfu from historical TV dramas and so on. But most of these historical dramas are fictional, as are many of the clothes the characters wear.可知汉服流行于五年前,所以这个行业还很年轻。许多裁缝还在学习如何从历史电视剧中制作汉服等等。但大多数历史剧都是虚构的,剧中人物的许多服装也是虚构的。由此可知,汉服行业很年轻,缺乏汉服制作标准。故B选项“缺乏标准似乎是主要问题”符合语境,故选B。
【20题详解】
根据后文To fulfill their selfish interests, those behind the short videos and live-streaming
blame one another instead of working together to revive the hanfu culture.可知为了私利,这些短片和直播背后的人互相指责,而不是一起努力复兴汉服文化。由此可知,有自己汉服店铺的直播主播只是为了增加自己的利润,并不是在努力复兴汉服文化。故D选项“这意味着他们通过推广汉服文化来增加自己的利润”符合语境,故选D。

Tom was three year old. He liked to watch TV with his parents after the supper, but his parents never let him stay too longer. His mother would say, “It’s eight o’clock now, and it’s time of you to go to bed, Tom.” “But how don’t you go to bed?” Tom always asked. “We are adults,” his mother would say,“And adults go to bed lately.” One evening Tom asks his mother for an apple. She didn’t want to give him anything eat at bedtime, so she said, “It’s too late, and the apples are already asleep.” “But not both of them, Mom,” Tom said. “The baby apples is perhaps asleep, but their parents are surely awake.”
【答案】1.year→ years
2.去掉the
3.longer→ long
4.of→ for
5.how→ why
6.lately→ late
7.asks→ asked
8.eat前面加to
9.both→ all
10.is→ are
【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文,是三岁的汤姆和妈妈之间关于睡前看电视和吃东西超级搞笑又有爱的对话。
第一处:考查名词的数。句意:汤姆三岁了。three修饰可数名词复数,故year改为years。
第二处:考查冠词。句意:他喜欢晚饭后和爸爸妈妈一起看电视,但他们从不让他看太长时间。在某一顿饭前/后使用零冠词,the是多余的,故去掉the。
第三处:考查形容词比较级。根据句意可知此处没有比较意味,不用比较级,too long表示“太久”,故longer改为long。
第四处:考查介词。句意:妈妈会说:“现在八点了,你该上床睡觉了,汤姆”。it’s time
for sb to do表示“该是某人干某事的时候了”,应该用for引出不定式的逻辑主语,故of改为for。
第五处:考查疑问词。句意:汤姆反问道:“但是你们为什么不去睡觉呢?”根据句意可知此处表示“为什么”而不是“如何”,故how改为why。
第六处:考查late与lately的区别。句意:大人们睡得晚。late表示“晚”;lately表示“近来”,根据句意可知此处用前者,故lately改为late。
第七处:考查时态。句意:一天晚上,汤姆和妈妈说想吃一个苹果。时间状语“One evening”表明事情发生在过去,应该用一般过去时,故asks改为asked。
第八处:考查不定式。句意:她不想让他在睡前吃东西,于是她说:“太晚了,苹果已经睡着了”。分析句子结构并结合句意可知此处用不定式作后置定语,故eat前面加to。
第九处:考查both与all的区别。句意:汤姆说:“不是所有的苹果都睡着了,苹果宝宝也许睡着了,但苹果爸爸和苹果妈妈肯定还没睡”。both表示“二者都”,all表示“三者及以上都”,此处指很多个苹果,应该用后者,故both改为all。
第十处:考查主谓一致。句意同上,主语是baby apples,谓语动词用复数,故is改为are。
