A. their supply B. the supply of which
C. the supply of them D. of which supply
- 31 -
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:我认为我们应该用可循环利用的材料生产更多的东西,少用原材料,因为原材料的供应正变得越来越少。逗号后面是非限制性定语从句,修饰raw materials。表示“……的供应”,可用the supply of+n.,引导词在从句中作of的宾语,指物,故用the suuply+of which或of which the supply引导该从句。故选B。如果选A或C,应在两个句子之间加上连词。故选B。
2.It is reported that 39 Vietnamese died in October __________ illegal immigration (移民) into the UK.

C. as a consequence of D. in complete agreement with

4.While hosting the Academy Awards, Billy Crystal always keeps a toothbrush with him __________ he started practicing stand-up as a child, he told himself jokes in front of the mirror, brushing his teeth.
- 31 -
A. because when B. because that C. when D. as

【答案】A
【解析】

Robots have taken over many of America’s factories. But can they pick a strawberry? “It’s really hard for robots to match what humans can do,” says Bob Pizter, an expert on robots.
Any 4-year-old kid can pick a strawberry, but machines can’t seem to figure it out. Pizter says the hardest thing for them is finding the fruit. Pizter’s strawberry-picking robot is rolling into a strawberry field. This well-designed device drives itself. It’s as big as a bus, long enough to straddle (跨越) a dozen rows of strawberries at once. Powerful computers are sitting on top. Underneath, there
- 31 -
are high-definition cameras to find the berries, and robotic claws ready to pick them.
“Nobody’s telling it what to do,” explains Paul Bissett, the chief operating officer of Harvest CROO Robotics. “It’s remembering its path down the row. It’s remembering where all these plants are.” It knows all this, thanks to the super-accurate GPS. Its computer brain contains a map showing the locations of every strawberry plant in the field. The action of machinery is truly impressive, but the baskets are still practically empty. Pitzer says the robots are able to find and pick more than 50 percent of ripe berries. That’s not yet up to human standards. A typical worker, he says, manages to pick anywhere from 60 to 90 percent of the berries. Also, he admits, the machine is slower than human hands. On the other hand, it has some advantages. It can work right through the night. Two years later, he says, this machine will be in the fields working for real. “There are weaknesses to work out, but it’s getting there. We’re close.” he says.
Strawberry companies are putting millions of dollars into this project. The reason, Gary Wishnatzki, the owner of Wish Farms says, is that it’s getting more and more difficult to find enough people to pick his berries. “The fact of the matter is, if we don’t solve the problem of this labor shortage with automation, the industry is facing a big challenge ahead. The price of fruit is going to be much higher,” Jose Santos, the leader of the farm, says.
Jose is pretty convinced though, that picking strawberries will always require people. The machines will break down, he points out. In fact, he’s looking on the bright side. “You could afford to give people a day off if you have machines behind you,” he says.
34. According to the passage, the strawberry-picking robot __________.
A. can work extra hours B. relies on GPS only to find berries
C. runs on petrol just like a bus D. picks both ripe and unripe berries
35. What do people mentioned in the passage think of the strawberry-picking robot?
A. It will lead to the price of strawberries rising.
B. It keeps human workers working through night.
- 31 -
C. It is not very efficient at the moment but promising.
D. It will completely take the place of human workers.
36. We know from the article that __________.
A. robots have been widely used in farming
B. it seems hard for robots to exactly locate strawberries now
C. robots can surely perform any work better than human workers
D. with the help of robots, strawberry companies have already earned much
37. What does the passage mainly talk about?

【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了摘草莓机器人的目前的优点和缺点:效率不高,但可以长时间工作,其缺点也可以改进。未来需求大,前景广阔。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It can work right through the night.”可知,机器人可以整夜工作。A(它可以加班)表达此意。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Pitzer says the robots are able to find and pick more than 50 percent of ripe berries. That’s not yet up to human standards. A typical worker, he says, manages to pick anywhere from 60 to 90 percent of the berries. Also, he admits, the machine is slower than human hands.”可知,摘草莓的机器人比人手慢,没有达到人类采摘草莓的标准。由此可以推知,它效率不高。根据第三段中的“On the other hand, it has some advantages. It can work right through the night. Two years later, he says, this machine will be in the fields working for real. “There are weaknesses to work out, but it’s getting there. We’re close.” he
- 31 -
says.”可知,这种机器人有弱点需要克服,但这些弱点很快就会被克服。这种机器人非常有前景。两年之后,就会被投入使用。我们离此目标不远了。由此推知,综上,C(它目前不是很有效,但很有前途)表达此意。故选C。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It’s remembering its path down the row. It’s remembering where all these plants are.” It knows all this, thanks to the super-accurate GPS. Its computer brain contains a map showing the locations of every strawberry plant in the field. The action of machinery is truly impressive, but the baskets are still practically empty. Pitzer says the robots are able to find and pick more than 50 percent of ripe berries. That’s not yet up to human standards.”可知,由于超级精确的GPS,机器人知道所有草莓的位置。机器的作用确实令人印象深刻,但篮子实际上仍然是空的。Pitzer说,机器人能够发现和采摘超过50%的成熟浆果。这还没有达到人类的标准。由此推知,虽然机器人配备有精确的GPS,但实际上,它们并不能精确地定位草莓的位置,从而导致采摘率不高。故选B。
【37题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段直接了当的提出:机器人真的很难达到人类采摘草莓的水平。第二段和第三段主要介绍了草莓采摘机器人的特点和优缺点(效率不高,但可以长时间工作)。最后两段对草莓采摘机器人前景的展望(未来需求大,前景广阔)。结合选项,C(草莓采摘机器人的现状)最能概括主题。故选C。
【点睛】概括主旨的方法是:先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句,若无明显主题句,就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句,记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时,务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。例如,第3题考生可以通过概括每段的大意来总结出文章的主旨大意。
C
Two years ago, photographer Gen started his latest project visiting local communities in Latin America. The photo that gave birth to his “You are so beautiful” project was entirely unplanned.
In January 2015, Gen was in San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico. He had been trying to get his female subject to feel more comfortable before his camera, and when a request for her to smile didn’t quite work, he found himself telling her she was beautiful.
- 31 -
The result of his shot was so sincere and heartwarming that he decided he had found the concept of his new project. Gen is still on his journey to capture the power of this compliment (赞美). The photos he’s already published on his website, however, show the unbelievable effect these simple words can have.
When asked to have her photo taken, Mathilda from Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, said, “I don’t have any teeth. Please don’t make me laugh.” After being told she was beautiful, she didn’t seem to mind anymore. “She and I laughed a lot. It was a nice moment.” Gen said.
Margarita was selling fruit on a street in Otavalo, Ecuador, when Gen approached her. She agreed to pose for a picture after the photographer bought some of her fruit, but still didn’t smile when he asked her to. Her smile was genuine, though, when she heard the compliment.
Gen met Juliana in a village in northern Colombia where desert meets the Caribbean Sea. The region is extremely dry, with some months seeing almost no rain, and Juliana wore a mask to protect her face from the sun. She was selling handicrafts when Gen approached her, and smiled happily when she received the compliment.
Mimba and baby Maya are from Brazil’s Marubo tribe. Mimba was shy, and it was only on the second visit to her home that the photographer finally got her permission to take her photo. She seemed to relax, though, when he paid her a compliment.
38. Where was the inspiration for Gen’s latest project from?
A. His unplanned travel. B. Praise for his photos.
C. A shooting experience. D. His love for photography.
39. Who did Gen meet twice?
A. Margarita. B. Mimba.
C. Mathilda. D. Juliana.
40. What do the examples convey?
A. Gen thought highly of his subjects.
B. Sincere praise makes successful shots.
C. Complimenting applies to nearly all women.
D. Women are nervous when having photos taken.
- 31 -
41. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce the effect of photography.
B. To provide some advice on complimenting.
C. To share his experiences of complimenting.
D. To show the amazing power of complimenting.
【答案】38. C 39. B 40. C 41. D
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。摄影师Gen在拍摄的过程中,通过对两位被拍摄人物的赞美,使她们露出了真实的笑容,顺利地完成了拍摄。由此,他开展了“你真美”计划。这篇文章展示出了赞美的巨大作用。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Two years ago, photographer Gen started his latest project visiting local communities in Latin America. The photo that gave birth to his “You are so beautiful” project was entirely unplanned.”可知,两年前,摄影师Gen开始了他的最新项目,走访拉丁美洲的当地社区。这张照片催生了他的“你真美”计划,这完全是意料之外的。C(一次拍摄经历)表达了此意。故选C。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Mimba was shy, and it was only on the second visit to her home that the photographer finally got her permission to take her photo.”可知,米姆巴很害羞,直到第二次去她家时,摄影师才终于允许她拍照。由此可知,Gen见了Mimba两次。故选B。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Margarita was selling fruit on a street in Otavalo, Ecuador, when Gen approached her. She agreed to pose for a picture after the photographer bought some of her fruit, but still didn’t smile when he asked her to. Her smile was genuine, though, when she heard the compliment.”可知,第一个例子中的Margarita听到赞美之后露出了真诚的微笑。根据最后一段“Mimba and baby Maya are from Brazil’s Marubo tribe. Mimba was shy, and it was only on the second visit to her home that the photographer finally got her permission to take her photo. She seemed to relax, though, when he paid her a
- 31 -
compliment.”可知,第二个例子中的Mimba听到了赞美之后才放松下来。结合第二段中的“The photos he’s already published on his website, however, show the unbelievable effect these simple words can have.”可知,这两个例子都体现了赞美的效果。由此推知,作者以这两个例子表明:赞美适用于所有的女人。故选C。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。摄影师Gen在拍摄的过程中,通过对两位被拍摄人物的赞美,使她们露出了真实的笑容,顺利地完成了拍摄。由此,他开展了“你真美”计划。因此通过这篇文章,作者展示出了赞美的巨大作用。故选D。

“Regardless of social class, race and age, men say they hate to shop,” says Zukin, City University of New York sociology professor. “Yet when you ask them deeper questions, it turns out that they like to shop. Men generally like to shop for books, music and hardware. But if you ask them about the shopping they do for books or music, they'll say, ‘Well, that's not shopping. That's research.’”
In other words, what men and women call “buying things” and how they approach that task are different.
Women will wander through several 1,000squaremetre stores in search of the perfect party dress. Men will wander through 100 Internet sites in search of the perfect digital camcorder. Women see shopping as a social event. Men see it as a special task or a game to be won.
“Men are frequently shopping to win,” says Ann, a marketing professor at Loyola University of Chicago. “They want to get the best deal. They want to get the best and latest one and if they do that, it makes them happy. When women shop, they're doing it in a way that they want everybody to be very happy,” says Ann. “They're kind of shopping for love.”
“Teenage girls learn to shop from their mums and elder sisters, and they also learn to shop by examining articles in magazines like Seventeen,” Zukin says. “And although men's magazines such as GQ and Esquire have long had shopping articles, it's TV that has the eye of young male shoppers,” say Ann and Zukin.
“Television shows are used by young men in the same way Seventeen or Lucky is used by girls,” says Zukin, “to help make clothing and toiletry choices.”
- 31 -
“Of course, there are men who love to shop and are proud of it,” Ann says. And that is important no matter whether you buy a car or a frying pan. All men love to buy but don't want to get cheated. Ann adds, “There actually are men who are interested, for example, in cooking or shopping or chinaware or things around the home—they become kind of girl magnets. Women like it.”
42. From the first paragraph we can find that .
A. men are all dishonest B. men like to shop in fact
C. men hate to shop actually D. men are all booklovers
43. Compared to women, men usually treat shopping .
A. honestly B. frequently
C. seriously D. foolishly
44. As is shown in this passage, teenage girls go shopping .
A. only with their sisters B. often following magazines
C. only with their mums D. often following TV shows
45. The underlined word “magnets” in the last paragraph means “ ”.
A. vegetables that make women beautiful
B. magazines that attract young women
C. persons that have a powerful attraction
D. tools that can help housewives much
【答案】42. B 43. C 44. B 45. C
【解析】
试题分析:本文叙述了社会存在的一种现象,人们往往认为男士不喜欢购物,其实他们对待购物很认真,在网上查询,找最好质量的产品;一般妇女喜欢去街上的商店购物,她是为全家人购买需要的东西;女孩子们购物除了从母亲姐妹那里学点经验,还经常翻阅杂志,看它们的介绍,然后再去购物。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段it turns out that they like to shop. Men generally like to shop for books, music and hardware.可知,男人通常喜欢购买书籍、音乐和五金器具。所以说男人也喜欢购物。故选B。

词义猜测题。There actually are men who are interested, for example, in cooking or shopping or chinaware or things around the home-----they become kind of girlmagnets.因为这里的主语they 指的是男士,主语和表语指的是一样的,所以猜测magnet指有吸引力的人。故选C。
考点:社会现象类短文阅读。
点评: 词义猜测题旨在考查学生根据上下文对生词做出理解判断的能力。近几年来,阅读理解中的词义猜测题呈上升趋势。在阅读过程中根据选材、背景、及上下文等线索推测出生词词义是真实语言活动中的重要技巧。这一能力可以说是体现阅读理解能力的一项重要指标。

【61题详解】

【62题详解】
考查固定短语。come up with意为“提出”,是固定短语。can是情态动词,后面接动词原形,故填come up with。
【63题详解】

- 31 -
majority。
【67题详解】
考查固定短语。表示“将……考虑在内”,应用take sth. into consideration/account。need to do sth.是固定句式,因此空处应填动词原形,且the needs of many consumers of its own country是take的宾语。故空处填take into consideration/account。
【68题详解】
考查固定短语。表示“带有……的意图”,应用“with the intention of”,这是固定表达。故填with the intention of。
【69题详解】
考查非谓语动词和固定短语。表示“从……到……变动”,应用vary/range from…to…。_______ _______ pigeons _______ (从……到……) monkeys作定语,修饰many animals,many animals和vary之间是主动关系,应用现在分词。故填ranging/varying from to。
【70题详解】
考查非谓语动词。forgive意为“原谅”。 _______ _______ _______ _______ (没有被原谅) for my fault作状语。主句主语I和forgive之间是被动关系,且“未被原谅”先于主句动作visit发生,因此,应用现在分词的完成被动形式having been done,其否定形式为not having been done。故填Not having been forgiven。
第六部分 书面表达 (满分20分)
71.A natural disaster is a major harmful event resulting from natural processes of the Earth. In recent years, owing to either cyclical (循环的) changes or human activities, there has been a rise in natural disasters. Earthquakes, typhoons, floods and hurricanes have caused a lot of deaths around the world. On the one hand, natural disasters always bring great sadness to people, but on the other hand, natural disasters make people fully aware of the mistakes of themselves and begin to rethink what they have done. A natural disaster can cause loss of life or property damage, and typically leave some economic damage in its wake, the severity of which depends on the stricken population’s ability to recover.
Take the typhoon which hit Japan this summer as an example. This September Super

【答案】Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and hurricanes, are awful events that cause widespread destruction, lots of damage or loss of life. Human beings should rethink their activities.
As students, what can we do to prevent natural disasters from happening and reduce the loss to the minimum? First of all, we should do our part to protect the environment. At the same time, measures must be taken to raise the public’s environmental awareness.

Last but not least, we hope the government should pay more attention to forecasting technology and allocate more funds for related research.
I am convinced that if everyone does his best, we can live in harmony with nature.
【解析】
【分析】
该题有两个要求。既要求写一篇概要写作。同时又要求写一篇提纲类作文。
【详解】第一段主要可以概括为:自然灾害越来越多。他们不仅会对人们带来巨大伤害,而且,自然灾害使人们充分认识到自己的错误,并开始重新思考自己的所作所为。第二段以今年夏天袭击日本的台风为例,对第一段进行了具体的阐述。因此文章可以概述为:Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and hurricanes, are awful events that cause widespread destruction, lots of damage or loss of life. Human beings should rethink their activities.
该题第二个要求是写一篇作文,考生应该从以下几方面来阐述:(1)保护环境从自身做起,并提高公众的环保意识;(2)掌握有关自然灾害的更多知识;(3)建议政府提供更多的资金进行相关的研究。在写作过程中,考生应该灵活应用should,can等情态动词。还应使用诸如:on the one hand,on the other hand,firstly,what’s more,besides等将所给信息联系到一起。还可以采用It is suggested that…,have a knowledge of等句式或短语。
【点睛】所给范文条理清楚,正确地陈述了文章要求内容。且正确使用了一些非常好的句式,例如:被动语态(measures must be taken …),It is +adj. + to do; 动名词(Having some basic first-aid knowledge and survival skills)等。
