Is there a mistake?‎ W: Please check the bill carefully and see if there's any mistake.‎ M: Of course, I'll check it.⑬The room is $150 per day. I stayed for 3 days. The car is rented by the day. The charge is $200 per day. I used it for 2 days. I just drove to the shopping mall and the beach.‎ W: In any case, you're expected to pay for extra hours and miles. I understand that you rented the car by the day，⑭but last night you went to a concert, which means an extra charge of $100.‎ M: Your car charge is much higher than I imagined.‎ Text 9‎ W: Did I ever tell you about the time I found $150?‎ M: No. What happened?‎ W: I was walking down the street when I saw a wallet just lying there. I picked it up, and it had about $150 in it.‎ M: What happened? Did you keep the money?‎ W: No. I called the police. They came over and picked it up.‎ M: Good for you. That was really honest of you.‎ W: I had a nice surprise three months later. ⑮The police gave me the money. They didn't find the person who lost it.‎ M: Well, I'll never forget the time I lost a bunch of money.‎ W: What happened?‎ M: I was waiting to pay for some groceries, ⑯but I realized that my wallet was empty! I was sure I had about $100. I was so embarrassed! I went home and searched everywhere.‎ W: So, did you ever find it?‎ 21‎ M: You won't believe it. ⑰I found it in the washing machine the next time I did laundry. I guess it was in my pants pocket the whole time.‎ Text 10‎ If you lived in England, where would you rather go shopping, a corner shop or a supermarket? ⑱Corner shops are not big and you sometimes cannot find the things you want, but ⑱⑲the staff there are very friendly, and they usually know what your favorite products are. They may even let you buy what you want and pay later if you do not have enough money with you. They are very nice and helpful. ⑱Supermarkets are much bigger than corner shops and they are better equipped. Prices there are often lower than in corner shops. However, ⑳many things in the supermarket are not fresh, and sometimes they sit on the shelves for a long time. Products like milk and eggs have to be kept in refrigerators, but sometimes they pass their sellby dates. The shop assistants sometimes write a new date on the container and the product is “fresh” again. To sum up, supermarkets and corner shops both have advantages and disadvantages depending on the kind of product you want to buy.‎ 参考答案：‎ ‎1．A　2.B　3.C　4.B　5.B　6.A　7.B　8.B　9.C　10.C　11.B　12.C　13.B　14.A　15.A　16.B　17.C　18.A　19.B　20.B 第二部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)‎ 第一节　(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。‎ A Paracutin was born in Mexico in February 1943.At the end of one week Paracutin was 500 feet high，and it is now over 9,000 feet high.Today Paracutin is asleep.‎ What is Paracutin? It was the first volcano in the world which was seen from its birth right up to the present day.On February 20,1943，a peasant and his wife set out to work in their cornfields from the Mexican village of Paracutin.They were surprised to find the earth warm under their feet.Suddenly they heard noises deep in the earth and a small hole appeared in their fields.In the afternoon there was a sudden loud noise and stones were thrown high in the air.The peasants ran from the field and turned to watch.They saw the birth of a volcano.‎ Large quantities of stone and lava broke out and a little hill began to form.By evening this hill was 100 feet high and hot ashes were falling on the village.At 21‎ ‎ night the strong light of the hot lava lit up the countryside.The trees near the village were killed and the villagers had to leave their houses.‎ When the village was destroyed，its name was given to the volcano.The news quickly reached Mexico City，far to the east.Many people came to watch the scene.The volcano grew and grew for ten years and hundreds of square miles of forest were destroyed.Then Paracutin went to sleep.‎ ‎【解题导语】　文章讲述了一座火山是如何形成的。‎ ‎21．In this passage the writer is trying to ________.‎ A．tell us an interesting happening B．explain a scientific theory C．make us believe something D．make up an interesting story 解析：选A　主旨大意题。通读全文可知作者要告诉我们一件有趣的事情，一座火山竟然从脚底下冒了出来。‎ ‎22．What can we learn about volcanoes from this passage?‎ A．New volcanoes may appear in places where people do not expect them to be.‎ B．Volcanoes are always growing.‎ C．Volcanoes are active from time to time.‎ D．New volcanoes are active for only ten years.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。从第二段第四、五句话“They were surprised to find...Suddenly they heard noises...in their fields.”可以推知火山也许会在人们没有预料到的地方冒出来。‎ ‎23．What was destroyed in the growing up of the volcano?‎ A．The little hill of stones.‎ B．The villagers living nearby.‎ C．The forests and fields around Paracutin.‎ D．The Mexican peasant and his wife.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。由第三段最后一句话和最后一段倒数第二句话可知。‎ ‎24．Paracutin was once the name of ________.‎ A．a peasant 　　　　　 B．a village C．an old mountain D．a Mexican 解析：选B　细节理解题。由最后一段第一句话可知，“当这个村子被毁之后，它的名字就成了火山的名字”。故Paracutin曾经是个村名。‎ B 21‎ Animals and Earthquakes Scientists who try to predict earthquakes have got some new helpers recently—animals.‎ That's right，animals.Scientists have begun to catch on to what farmers have known for thousands of years.Animals often seem to know in advance that an earthquake is coming，and they show their fear by acting in strange ways.Before a Chinese quake in 1975 snakes awoke from their winter sleep early only to freeze to death in the cold air.Cows broke their halters (缰绳) and tried to escape.Chickens refused to enter their coops.All of these unusual behaviors，as well as physical changes in Earth，alerted Chinese scientists to the coming quake.They moved people away from the dangerous area and saved thousands of lives.‎ One task for scientists today is to learn exactly which types of animals' behavior predict quakes.It's not an easy job.First of all，not every animal can react to the danger of an earthquake.Just before a California quake in 1977，for example，an Arabian horse became very nervous and tried to break out of his stall.The horse next to it，however，remained perfectly calm.It's also difficult at times to tell the difference between normal animals' restless and “earthquake nerves”．A zoo keeper once called earthquake researchers to say that his cougar (美洲狮) had been acting strangely.It turned out that the cat had an upset stomach!‎ A second task for scientists is to find out exactly what kind of warnings the animals receive.They know that animals sense far more of the world than humans do.Many animals can see，hear，and smell things that people do not even notice.Some can detect tiny changes in air pressure，gravity，or the magnetism (磁力) of Earth.This extra sense probably helps animals predict quakes.‎ ‎【解题导语】　科学家们试图通过地震前一些动物会出现的奇怪的行为来预测地震。‎ ‎25．What is the main idea of this passage?‎ A．Animals don't know when an earthquake is coming.‎ B．Animals can predict earthquakes.‎ C．The author doesn't know whether the animals can feel the coming of an earthquake or not.‎ D．Human beings have to move the animals away before an earthquake is coming.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。从第二段第三句话“Animals often seem to know in advance that an earthquake is coming”可知，动物能够预测地震。‎ 21‎ ‎26．From the passage，which of the following statements may NOT happen before an earthquake?‎ A．Snakes freeze to death in the cold open air.‎ B．Chickens refuse to enter into coops.‎ C．Cows break their halters and try to escape.‎ D．Birds fly all over the sky.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。第二段中的“Before a Chinese quake in 1975 snakes awoke from their winter sleep early only to freeze to death in the cold air.Cows broke their halters(缰绳)and tried to escape.Chickens refused to enter their coops.”提到了A、B、C三项的内容，没有提到D项的内容。‎ ‎27．How do all the animals exactly know when an earthquake is coming?‎ A．By their extra senses.‎ B．By the changes in air pressure，gravity or the magnetism.‎ C．People don't know exactly.‎ D．The passage doesn't mention it.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。从第三段的美洲狮和最后一段可看出，只是某些动物能够在地震前出现奇怪行为，但是，并没有确切地发现所有的动物怎样知道什么时候发生地震。‎ ‎28．The author's purpose is mainly to ________.‎ A．express an argument ‎ B．make a serious proposal C．present a discovery ‎ D．express suspicions 解析：选C　主旨大意题。作者的目的在于呈现一种新的发现：科学家们试图通过地震前一些动物会出现奇怪的行为来预测地震。‎ C The 2017 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)，also known as the Nation's Report Card，was released on April 10,2018.The report is based on tests of students across the United States.The Department of Education organized the testing.‎ Among the report's findings was that only about onethird of 8thgrade students were considered proficient(熟练的)in reading and maths.The Department of Education defines proficiency as “solid academic performance”．It says students who reach this level have a good knowledge of the subject and can use their knowledge in realworld situations.‎ 21‎ About 40 percent of 4thgraders were found to be proficient in reading and maths.The report found just 25 percent of 12thgrade students had maths proficiency，while 37 percent reached that level in reading.In science,38 percent of 4thgraders were considered proficient，while about 34 percent of 8thgraders reached that level.‎ Results_of_the_latest_Report_Card_were_similar_to_other_reports_released_in_recent_years.In a statement，U.S.Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos said the latest study shows that much can be done to improve the nation's education system.‎ DeVos said she was concerned the latest assessment found major differences between the highestand lowestperforming students.These differences were widening，she said，although billions of dollars had been spent in an effort to reduce them.‎ DeVos praised the state of Florida for being“one bright spot”in the latest Report Card.She said Florida students showed“significant improvement”in 4thand 8thgrade maths，and 8thgrade reading.‎ Carissa Miller is head of the Council of Chief State School Officers.She said，“The assessment shows much work needs to be done to prepare students at all levels for college，careers and life.It is clear we as a country must do better by all of our students，especially our lowestperforming children.Some students fall too far behind in their studies and we need to help them.”‎ ‎【解题导语】　NAEP是一项对美国学生多个学科能力的评估。最近的一项评估显示，美国学生在数学、阅读、科学方面的成绩并没有明显的进步。‎ ‎29．According to the new report's findings，________.‎ A．8thgraders performed better than 12thgraders in reading tests B．12thgraders performed worse than 4thgraders in maths tests C．4thgraders performed the worst in both reading and maths tests D．4thgraders performed worse in science tests than 8thgraders 解析：选B　细节理解题。由第三段“About 40 percent of 4thgraders were found to be proficient in reading and maths.The report found just 25 percent of 12thgrade students had maths proficiency...”可知，在数学这一科上，测试结果是四年级学生的成绩比十二年级学生的成绩好。‎ ‎30．The underlined sentence suggests that ________.‎ A．American students' reading scores significantly improved last year B．American students' maths scores have steadily improved in recent years 21‎ C．there has been little or no improvement in U．S.students' reading scores in recent years D．significant changes in reading and maths scores were found among U．S.students 解析：选C　句意理解题。文中给出最近一次评估中数学、科学、阅读学科的考试结果。然后说与近几年的结果相似。也就是说，在这些科目上，学生的成绩并没有大的提高。所以C项正确。‎ ‎31．What can we learn from Betsy DeVos's words?‎ A．She was optimistic about the results of the 2017 NAEP.‎ B．The government didn't invest enough funds in education.‎ C．Overall，Florida students did well in the national testing.‎ D．4thgraders in Florida got much higher scores in maths and reading than before.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。倒数第二段“DeVos praised the state of Florida for being ‘one bright spot’ in the latest Report Card.”暗指佛罗里达州的学生比其他州的学生表现好。由“She said Florida students showed ‘significant improvement’ in 4thand 8thgrade maths，and 8thgrade reading.”可知，佛罗里达州4年级和8年级学生数学成绩有很大提高，8年级学生阅读成绩也有很大进步。‎ D Human voices develop as the individual ages，and it appears to be the same for North Atlantic right whales.‎ In a study published in Animal Behaviour，scientists examined 986 highquality calls from 49 individual North Atlantic right whales between the ages of one month and 37 years.These were collected from 1999 to 2016 in the Bay of Fundy，Cape Cod Bay，and off the southeastern U．S.coast.‎ The calls made by whales less than a year old were shorter and less structured.Then，as they matured，their calls became clearer，with better defined structure and longer call duration (持续时间)．This pattern is similar to that of humans and other animals.The changes in their sounds don't stop when a female right whale reaches sexual and physical maturity at about 9 and for males around 15.The calls continue to develop as the animal ages，decades after it is mature.‎ ‎“The frequency and duration of these calls may be able to tell us about body weight and size，and physical condition，” said Sofie Van Parijs，leader of the study.‎ In the study，the most noticeable changes in the whale calls occurred between 21‎ ‎ the first and second years of life.When they were less than a year old，the whales made highly distinctive and chaotic (混乱的) calls.By their second year，although the calls were still short and chaotic，they more closely resembled adult calls.Then，between the ages of two and eight，the whale calls exhibited less chaos and increased control over the sounds，possibly showing a need to distinguish between individual animals.‎ Right whales show flexibility in sound production，as they respond to changes in background noise by changing their frequency and call amplitude (振幅) in noisy environments.Scientists also found that right whales produced higher rates of sounds when they were just travelling than when they were looking for food.‎ ‎“This is the first evidence for similarities in voice changes between humans and a longlived whale species，” said Van Parijs.“It is exciting，but we have a lot more work to do to understand how possible physical changes，social learning and environmental influences impact right whale communication.”‎ ‎【解题导语】　科学家对历时十七年收集的露脊鲸的叫声进行研究，有了一些发现。‎ ‎32．What can we learn about the study on calls of right whales?‎ A．They were recorded in the same year.‎ B．They were made by nearly one thousand whales.‎ C．The earliest calls were gathered in 1999.‎ D．Most of the calls were made by mature whales.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。由第二段中“These were collected from 1999 to 2016...”可知，科学家研究的是1999年至2016年所收集的露脊鲸的叫声。所以，被研究的声音最早是1999年被收集的。所以C项正确。‎ ‎33．What did scientists find about the sounds made by right whales?‎ A．Female right whales make clearer sounds than males.‎ B．The sounds keep changing until shortly after they mature.‎ C．The sounds continue to change even long after they mature.‎ D．There are no obvious differences between two whales of the same age.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。由第三段可知，露脊鲸并没有在成熟期停止变声，而是在成熟几十年后，叫声还在发生着变化。所以C项正确。‎ ‎34．What can we learn from the study?‎ A．A oneyearold whale and a twoyearold one make quite different sounds.‎ B．A twoyearold whale and a threeyearold one make quite different sounds.‎ 21‎ C．Two adult whales of different sexes make quite different sounds.‎ D．After two years old，the sounds made by whales change noticeably.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。由第五段“In the study，the most noticeable changes in the whale calls occurred between the first and second years of life.”可知，露脊鲸在声音上的显著的变化发生在前两年。所以A项正确。‎ ‎35．The last paragraph but one shows that ________.‎ A．right whales don't have much control over their sounds B．right whales make more sounds in noisy environments C．the size of right whales influences the sounds they make D．the call rates of right whales are influenced by their behavior 解析：选D　推理判断题。由倒数第二段“...right whales produced higher rates of sounds when they were just travelling than when they were looking for food.”可知，露脊鲸只是在游动时比在觅食时发声频率更高。所以，露脊鲸发声的频率受其行为的影响。‎ 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。‎ We all like to think we have good table manners，but what you consider appropriate table manners may actually be considered rude in another country！Let's explore some strange table manners around the world.‎ Most

However，every coin has two sides.So is this highspeed railway，whose disadvantage is the higher train fare.‎ Yours，‎ Li Hua 21‎
