后的定语从句用虚拟语气,从句谓语通常用过去式表示现在或将来,其意为“(早)该干某事了”。且短语set about doing sth.“开始做某事”,故第一空应填set about discussing;第二空为表语从句,且从句中缺少宾语,指事情,故应用what;第三空分析句子结构可知carry out在句中做非谓语动词,与逻辑主语plan构成被动关系,故用过去分词carried out。故选D。

第一节 阅读下列四篇短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。(共15题;每题2分,满分30分)
A
Regarded as one of the English language’s most gifted poets, John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery, human nature, and philosophy (哲学). Although Keats didn’t receive much formal literary education, his own studies and passion brought him much success. Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.
Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family, the young John didn’t attend a private school, but went to a public one. His teachers and his family’s friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his father’s death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother’s passing due to tuberculosis (肺结核), he began viewing life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.
At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he
too might become a doctor. However, his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, entitled O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written an entire volume of poetry, but was sharply criticized by a magazine. However, the negative response didn’t stop his love of rhythm.
John Keats’ next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy’s hope to overcome the limitations of being human. Following Endymion, however, he tried something more narrative-based (叙事体的) and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the “knowledge” associated with his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821.
36. Why did John Keats’ change attitude towards life?
A. Because his parents passed away.
B. Because he only received poor education.
C. Because Edmund Spenser’s poetry influenced him too much.
D. Because he received a lot of criticism from a magazine.
37. While trying to achieve his dream of becoming a poet, John Keats was_____.
A. experienced. B. impatient.
C. knowledgeable. D. determined.
38. What do we know from the passage?
A. Keats received little education at school.
B. Endymion was concerning a real love story.
C. In 1816 Keats spent two months writing a poem.
D. Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.
【答案】36. A 37. D 38. D
【36题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中After his father’s death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother’s passing due to tuberculosis, he began viewing life differently.(他的父亲19
世纪早期去世,紧接着他的母亲由于肺结核去世后他开始以不同的眼光看待世界)可知John Keats诗人在父母相继离世后开始改变对生活的看法。故选A。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。从第三段最后一句However, the negative response didn’t stop his love of rhythm.(然而,消极的反应并没有阻止他对格律的热爱)可知在努力实现成为诗人的梦想时,John Keats是意志坚定的。故选D。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一句At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor.(16岁左右,十几岁的John Keats开始在一名外科医生手下学习,这样他也有可能成为一名医生)可知John Keats曾经有机会成为一名医生。故选D。
B
Volcanic ash from Iceland’s volcano continues to cause disruptions to air travel across Northern Europe . As the nearly universal grounding of aircraft causes problems for 25 countries in Europe, the passengers are starting to run into secondary problems from the four days of being stranded. Additionally, the further effect of economic losses are beginning to pile up.
Already the chaos surrounding the volcanic ash is being compared to the days after 9/11. As the ash plume continues to ground air transport, it is estimated that nearly 17,000 flights a day have been canceled at the cost of nearly $2.7 million a day, according to a report filed by the Wall Street Journal. In the report, it was said that cost was for a single airline, and that the cost for other lines could be measured in hundreds of millions of dollars.
While the cost on the airline industry is significant, the cost on passengers is more significant. Airline cancellations have forced many travelers into hotels and more are looking to their travel insurance plans to cover the costs. The U.K.’s Independent reported that travel insurance plans have a rule that make claims from travelers invalid. In these policies, travel insurances which are purchased as a way to cover additional costs when travel plans are unexpectedly disrupted because the specific event like a volcanic eruption is not mentioned. Then the policy does not cover the event.
However, there is hope,though, as Air France and Dutch airline KLM both report positive test flights of aircraft at different altitudes to ensure the safety of flight. It is not known if these
flights will be the beginning or just one-off chance flights. These flights were operated in a window of operations in the ash plume, but due to the erratic nature of the airflow, there is no guarantee that this will open up air operations over Europe. At this rate, the nations of Europe will be likely to see a significant impact on their pocketbooks, both in the corporations and the individual households.
39. The underlined word "stranded" probably means______.
A. struck. B. controlled. C. stuck. D. disturbed.
40. From this passage we can see that____________.
A. the volcanic ash caused more trouble than 9/11 did.
B. airlines suffered great losses due to the eruption.
C. travelers had to ask for help from the government.
D. nearly $.2.7 million was lost in all.
41. Why are claims about insurance from travelers unacceptable?
A. Because volcanic eruption isn’t included in travel plans.
B. Because volcanic eruption companies don’t keep their word.
C. Because airlines haven’t bought insurance for travelers.
D. Because airlines didn’t expect the eruption.
42. This passage mainly tells us about __________.
A. the volcanic eruption in Iceland. B. the great trouble for air travels.
C. the unfavorable flight condition. D. the cost of European airlines.
【答案】39. C 40. B 41. A 42. B
【39题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文As the nearly universal grounding of aircraft causes problems for 25 countries in Europe, the passengers are starting to run into secondary problems from the four days of being可知由于飞机几乎全面停飞给欧洲25个国家造成了问题,乘客们滞留了四天,可知划线单词意思为“滞留,被困”,故选C。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中As the ash plume continues to ground air transport, it is estimated that nearly 17,000 flights a day have been canceled at the cost of nearly $2.7 million a day, according to a report filed by the Wall Street Journal.
(据《华尔街日报》的一篇报道,随着火山灰继续笼罩着地面,据估计每天有近1.7万次航班被取消,每天的损失近270万美元)可知由于火山喷发,航空公司蒙受了巨大损失。故选B。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中In these policies , travel insurances which are purchased as a way to cover additional costs when travel plans are unexpectedly disrupted because the specific event like a volcanic eruption is not mentioned.(在这些政策中,旅行保险是在旅行计划意外中断时为支付额外费用而购买的保险,因为诸如火山爆发之类的具体事件没有被提及)可知旅客的保险索赔不被接受是因为火山喷发不包括在旅游计划中。故选A。
【42题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段第一句Volcanic ash from Iceland’s volcano continues to cause disruptions to air travel across Northern Europe .(冰岛火山喷发的火山灰继续扰乱北欧的航空旅行)以及文章主要内容为此处火山喷发导致航空停运,从而给航空公司和乘客带来巨大的经济损失。即文章主要告诉我们一次空中交通的大麻烦。故选B。
C
By the mid-1920s, Pablo Picasso, one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. had been one of the most celebrated men .In 1957, when Pablo Picasso was in his seventh decade, he joked that x-ray technology might one day reveal a lost work underneath one of his early paintings. Today, that prediction became reality although the technology involved goes far beyond x-rays.
Using hyper-modern tools to peer into one of his Blue Period paintings, researchers have not only shown a hidden piece of art history in astonishing new detail, they have revealed a striking amount of insight into Picasso's creative process and style.
The investigation focused on"La Miséreuse accroupie, "or" Crouching Woman, "painted in 1902 and currently owned by the Art Gallery. The painting, an oil on canvas (画布) piece drawing a crouching (蜷坐的) woman who wears a long coat, shows Picasso’s typical Blue Period colors: grey, green, blue and white. It shows that the innovative modernist was inspired by the lines of an underlying landscape painted by an unknown artist.
The analysis also exposes several changes to the woman described in the painting,many of which Picasso ultimately abandoned. Researchers released their findings on Saturday’s press conference of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Austin, Texas. “We
think now it's a landscape painted by someone enrolled at the fine arts academy in Barcelona, someone in Picasso’s orbit but not in his close circle, ”says Kenneth Brummel, assistant curator of modern art for the Art Gallery of Ontario.
As to why Picasso would have “recycled” another artist’s canvas(油画布), reasons could range from economic necessity, as a young artist still establishing himself, to deep inspiration driven by the lines of the image already laid down there. Picasso often re-used canvases for this reason."
“He didn't shave off the canvas or put a preparatory layer over it,” Brummel says.“ Picasso saw this landscape, found inspiration, and decided he was going to paint it immediately."

【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中…Picasso would have “recycled” another artist’s canvas(毕加索会“回收”另一位艺术家的画布)可知毕加索先是重新使用了另一个艺术家的画布,故①排在第一位;根据最后一段“He didn't shave off the canvas or put a preparatory layer over it,” Brummel says.“ Picasso saw this landscape, found inspiration, and decided he was going to paint it immediately."(“他没有刮掉画布,也没有在上面盖一层预备层,”布鲁梅尔说。“毕加索看到了这幅风景画,找到了灵感,决定立即把它画出来。”)可知毕加索直接在山水画上画了一个女人,故③排在第二位;根据倒数第三段第一句The analysis also exposes several changes to the woman described in the painting, many of which Picasso ultimately abandoned.(分析还揭示了画中女子的几处变化,毕加索最终放弃了许多变化)可知毕加索给画中的女子做了一些变化,故⑤排在第三位。故选C。

【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中As to why Picasso would have “recycled” another artist’s canvas, reasons could range from economic necessity…(至于毕加索为什么会“回收”另一位艺术家的画布,原因可能包括经济上的原因)可推测毕加索刚开始他的事业时并不富裕。故选B。
【46题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中In 1957, when Pablo Picasso was in his seventh decade, he joked that x-ray technology might one day reveal a lost work underneath one of his early paintings. Today, that prediction became reality although the technology involved goes far beyond x-rays.(1957年,巴勃罗·毕加索70岁的时候,他开玩笑说,有一天x光技术可能会在他早期的一幅画下面发现一件丢失的作品。今天,这一预测成为现实——尽管所涉及的技术远远超出了x
射线)结合文章主要内容可知本文主要是讲述毕加索名画下发现的遗失的艺术品,所以短文最佳标题为“毕加索名画下遗失的艺术品”。故选D。

Ever wonder how this season’s celebrations affect the environment? Guest blogger Krista Fairles takes an amusing look at this very topic:
The holidays are a wonderful, cheerful time when most people wait for Santa to bring them presents. But I’m not like most people. I spend my time wondering just what the environmental impacts of Santa Claus and his reindeer are, and more importantly, how I can calculate those impacts.
Lately I’ve been particularly curious as to whether Santa’s old sled is a clean green flying machine, or if he should be replacing his 8 reindeer with an environmentally-friendly car.
I should mention that, surprisingly, I was unable to find statistics specific to Santa’s magical flying reindeer, so these calculations use numbers from various sources and may not represent actual pollution caused by Santa and his animals. In other words, don’t complain to the government about the damage Santa is causing to the environment based on this article.
Santa’s yearly trip around the globe is 44,000km long, twice the average of a North American driver. If we assume that the magic provides the altitude for this trip, then reindeer power only needs to push Santa’s sled forward. To complete the trip in 12 hours, I estimate they must travel at a speed of about 3100km/h. To travel at this speed, for this length of time, the reindeer need to eat an incredible 980 million calories each!
So the next question is: how much food is in 980 million calories? Well, if they’re eating corn, they’d need to eat 16,500 lbs each - or 1.6 acres of food. Growing 12.8 acres of corn has its own implications for the environment that we’ll leave for another calculation.
We now need to consider that during the global trip the reindeer are “letting out” some of that corn in the form of methane (甲烷,沼气). A resting cow produces 110 kg of methane per year, so flying reindeer would each let out about 4.8 tons. With methane causing 20 times the global
warming damage of CO2, and the altitude increasing that damage by 1000% that another 20 times, we can put Santa’s round-trip emissions at 15,488 tons. This is much more than the 100 tons an environmentally-friendly car would release on the same trip!
Bad Santa.
47. Which aspect does the writer NOT mention in her analyses about reindeer’s influence on environment?
A. Distance covered. B. Money spent on food.
C. Tons of waste let out. D. Calories consumed.
48. According to the passage, how many acres of corn would Santa need to feed 12 reindeer?
A. 12.8. B. 16. C. 19.2. D. 128.
49. Which of the following words best describes the tone of the passage?
A. Humorous and concerned. B. Cheerful and friendly.
C. Academic and formal. D. Serious and boring.
50. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
A. Santa, watch where you’re going! B. Let’s reduce waste on Christmas celebrations!
C. Santa Claus is coming to town! D. Is Santa driving clean and green?
【答案】47. B 48. C 49. A 50. D
【47题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中Santa’s yearly trip around the globe is 44,000km long, twice the average of a North American driver.(圣诞老人每年的环球旅行长达4.4万公里,是北美司机平均里程的两倍)可知作者在分析驯鹿对环境的影响时,提到了距离覆盖方面,故排除A选项;根据第五段中To travel at this speed, for this length of time, the reindeer need to eat an incredible 980 million calories each!(要以这样的速度,在这么长的时间里,每只驯鹿需要吃下令人难以置信的9.8亿卡路里!)可知作者在分析驯鹿对环境的影响时,提到了卡路里消耗问题,故排除D选项;根据倒数第二段中A resting cow produces 110 kg of methane per year, so flying reindeer would each let out about 4.8 tons.(一头静止的奶牛每年产生110公斤的甲烷,所以会飞的驯鹿每年释放4.8吨甲烷)可知提到了成吨的废物被排除,故排除C选项。只有B项“花在食物上的钱”在文中没有提及。故选B。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中Well, if they’re eating corn, they’d need to eat 16,500 lbs
each - or 1.6 acres of food.(如果他们吃玉米,每头麋鹿需要吃16500磅,也就是1.6英亩的食物)可知圣诞老人需要1.6*12=19.2英亩的玉米来喂养12只驯鹿。故选C。
【49题详解】
推理判断题。作者在第二至四段中用了幽默的语言指出了圣诞老人乘坐驯鹿派发圣诞礼物会对环境造成破坏,而根据第五段中To travel at this speed, for this length of time, the reindeer need to eat an incredible 980 million calories each! (要以这样的速度,在这么长的时间里,每只驯鹿需要吃下令人难以置信的9.8亿卡路里!),以及第七段中A resting cow produces 110 kg of methane per year, so flying reindeer would each let out about 4.8 tons.(一头静止的奶牛每年产生110公斤的甲烷,所以会飞的驯鹿每年释放4.8吨甲烷)列举的数字可以看出作者对此感到担忧。故选A。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段Lately I’ve been particularly curious as to whether Santa’s old sled is a clean green flying machine, or if he should be replacing his 8 reindeer with an environmentally-friendly car.(最近我特别好奇,圣诞老人的旧雪橇是干净的绿色飞行机器,还是应该把他的8只驯鹿换成一辆环保汽车)以及通读全文可知,作者分析了圣诞老人乘坐他的驯鹿派发圣诞礼物会对环境造成破坏,由此可知D项“圣诞老人的代步工具是环保的吗”作标题最恰当。故选D。
