第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，30分）
第一节阅读选择（共12小题；每小题2分，共24分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
It was May 23, 2016. Arnot, the 32-year-old mountain guide, reached the top of Everest without the use of oxygen (O2) equipment. It was achieved after seven years, three previous attempts, and fourteen straight hours of climbing.
After 15 minutes at the top, Arnot began her descent (下坡). Eight hours later, she reached the camp at 7, 600 meters and became the first American woman-and only the seventh woman ever—to successfully reach Mount Everest without oxygen equipment.
“There are so many reasons for her impressive achievement, especially the physical and emotional efforts that she s put forth over the years to make this happen,” says the professional climber and photographer Richards, “The mental courage that it requires is something very few people have.”
Arnot didn’t start climbing until she was 19 years old. Money was tight in her family, and climbing mountains never occurred in her mind. After graduating from college, Arnot was invited by her friend to climb a mountain. “It totally changed my life, says Arnot. I always know that if you want something, you can achieve it, but knowing what you want is a whole different thing,” she says. “I am athletic but not competitive. After my first climbing, I knew immediately that mountains are what I want—as that is where I felt home for the first time in my life.”
After that first climb, she devoted herself to learning how to climb and move through mountain. It was during her second trip to Everest in 2009 that she first set her sights on a no-oxygen attempt. However, while hiking into Everest Base Camp that year, she hurt her leg and wasn’t able to climb without oxygen. In 2013 she nearly made it to the top, but was forced to take oxygen at 8,504 meters while helping another climber.
When Arnot finally stood atop Everest, she called her best friend, “I reached the top and I’m not using any oxygen.” Then, tears began to stream down from her eyes. So much of Arnot’s life has been about pushing the limits of her abilities, and in this case, she’s also pushed up against the outer limits of the human spirit. 31. On May 23, 2016. Arnot ________. A. spent 8 straight hours climbing B. stayed at the top for 50 minutes C. made her first attempt to climb Everest D. reached the top without oxygen equipment
32. Arnot fell in love with climbing because _________.
6页
A. money was no longer a problem to her B. mountains gave her the feeling of comfort C. she tried to be more athletic and competitive D. she wanted to build up her body through climbing 33. What do we know about Arnot s climbing experience? A. She took up climbing when she was 19 years old. B. She has always been a good climber since her childhood. C. She climbed Everest with her family during her first trip. D. She hurt her leg badly while helping another climber in 2009. 34. Which of the following can best describe Arnot? A. Determined and brave. C. Caring and open-minded.
【答案】31. D 32. B 33. A 34. A
B. Cautious and honest. D. Confident and creative.
B
If you’re a cycling lover, you will have to pay a lot of attention to your bicycle and maintain it well, for bicycle parts are exposed to wear and tear (磨损) over time and you have to examine the bicycle to see if there are any signs of wearing such as scratches, dents (凹陷) etc. Sometimes, a part may not work because it has exceeded its life expectancy. Sometimes, you will need to find replacement parts for it to keep up the performance of the bicycle.
Different parts of a bicycle will wear at different rates so it is very important that you have a basic
understanding about the role played by each part. One of the most important parts of the bicycle is the frame, You will need to choose a frame that lasts for a very long time. Of course, you will see some paint scratches after some time. When you’re selecting a frame, you have to think about the material. Aluminium (铝) frames will not rust easily, but they have a higher chance to dent. Steel frames will be hard to dent, but you will need to make sure they get a good paint job so that they won’t rust.
Wheels also experience a lot of wear and tear and you should go for a professional seller when you want to buy
7页
wheels. There are different types of wheels that you can buy, like Zipp wheels that provide more aerodynamic efficiency (空气动力学效能). Investing in new tyres instead of going for used is a good idea because you will be able to get more use out of it. The same goes for chain as there’s a higher chance of a used chain breaking. You may also experience shifting problems. However, some parts of bicycles such as pedals can be used for a long time and you can find different styles.
Other parts that you can buy used are seats, handlebars and the stem. When you are buying handlebars, you have to see if there are any dents or if they have been bent out of shape. There shouldn’t be any cracks in the seat post or the handlebars. There are many shops where you can buy parts, so you will have to check the references to see how customers respond to them before you buy anything. 35. According to the passage, cycling lovers should ________. A. buy a new bicycle to keep up the performance B. replace the bicycle parts with signs of wearing C. choose Aluminum frames rather than steel ones D. learn how each part of the bicycle basically works 36. Which parts may be replaced by the used ones? A. Wheels and chains. C. Handlebars and stems.
B. Tyres and seats. D. Frames and pedals.
37. The underlined word “references” in the last paragraph probably means “________”. A. materials C. introductions
38. This passage is most likely to be found in ________. A. a research report C. a tourist guide book
【答案】35. D 36. C 37. D 38. B
B. a popular magazine D. a product advertisement B. prices D. comments
C
The day will come when renewable energy such as wind solar, geothermal and others replace fossil fuels as the major source of world energy. However, most analysts insist that this day will not arrive for many decades to come—certainly well past the middle of the century. Systems of fossil fuels have already been firmly set up, and it is too costly or impractical to replace the existing systems with renewables. But there are good reasons to believe that the transition (转变) to renewables will come much faster than previously thought.
8页
It is hardly surprising that many experts say we will see a relatively slow transition from fossil fuels to renewables, given what is known about previous energy changes of this sort. “Energy transitions take a long time,” observed Vaclav Smil of the University of Manitoba in Scientific American. It took more than 50 years for coal to replace wood as the worlds leading source of energy and another 50 years for oil to replace coal; the change from fossil fuels to renewables, he argued, is not likely to come any faster.
Under ordinary circumstances, Smil’s forecast would no doubt prove accurate. But these are not ordinary times. Growing concern over climate change is leading to increasingly strict controls on CO2 and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (排放), while the development in renewables technology is lowering their price and speeding their installation.
There are, of course, many difficulties in the effective control of carbon emissions, as demonstrated by coal companies to block the introduction of new rules by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Nevertheless, it is impossible to dismiss the progress being made at the local and international levels to promote the use of renewables. The European Union (E. U ), for example, is well on the way to achieving a 20% reduction in GHG emissions from 1990 levels by 2020, along with a 20% increase in the use of renewable energy.
The transition to renewables will be faster due to dramatic improvements in the pricing and performance of such systems. As a result of the steady increases in the efficiency of wind and solar systems, together with the savings achieved through large-scale manufacture, the price of renewables is falling globally. With prices dropping this fast, solar energy is now proving competitive with fossil fuels for generating electricity in many areas.
The change from fossil fuels to renewable energy will not come overnight, and it will not escape many setbacks. Nevertheless, renewables are likely to replace fossil fuels as the main source of electrical power well before mid-century.
39. Vaclav Smil believes that ________. A. renewable energies are not very practical B. the change to renewables will come slowly C. systems of fossil fuels have been firmly set up D. there are many setbacks of renewable energies
40. We can learn from the passage that European Union ________. A. has cut down half of the carbon emissions B. has failed to find a way to reduce GHG emissions C. is trying their best to encourage the use of renewables D. tries to stop the introduction of new rules on renewables
9页
41. The renewables are more competitive because of ________. A. their falling prices C. international trade
42. The author writes this passage in order to ________. A. call on people to use less fossil fuels B. give advice on how to promote renewables C. argue that the energy transition will come sooner D. prove the renewables will be the major source of energy 【答案】39. B 40. C 41. A 42. C
B. the decline in coal industry D. the new rules on CO2 emission
第二节 阅读与表达（共3小题；每小题2分，共6分）
阅读下面的短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，完成对该问题的回答。
Why Do People Enjoy Extreme Sports?
In recent years, the term extreme sports has evolved on grand scale. It can be divided into three main types: Air, Land and Water. Now you’ll start wondering how they work and why people enjoy them.
Often popular in younger-than-average crowd, the extreme sports are not organized by schools. These sports are practiced mostly on individual level, while in many cases professional coaching is also available.
Now we tell you the secret recipe of their popularity:
Control and Physics: The reason why people enjoy these sports is that they are normally played, exercised or practiced in free or uncontrolled environment like base jumping and sky diving. It means while traditional athletes play in controlled environment like fields and gyms, extreme athletes have to operate and display their skills in free-flowing natural environment. For this reason, the understanding of laws of physics and how to apply and use them are really crucial for success.
Thrill: This is the single most attractive factor in people’s interest in extreme sports. It makes extreme sports different from any other type of sports. The thrill one can get from extreme sports is the highest. But the athletes are fully exposed to direct danger. Thus, you have to fully understand the consequences before you decide to enjoy the thrill.
Pushing the Limits: Extreme sports, as the name goes, is about pushing the limits. The response, nerves and the control over the un-controllable are the main reasons why people enjoy it.
Man against Nature: As we mentioned earlier that it is about natural elements—Air, Water and Land, these games are loved because the natural elements react to human extreme. The passion of man to overcome the natural barriers is an addiction for these athletes.
10页
Some of the mainstream extreme sports are base jumping, bungee jumping, sky diving, gliding, extreme skiing, mountain biking, cliff diving, scuba diving and wind surfing. No matter what extreme sports you may enjoy, the No. 1 rule is to know your limits, or you’ll be pushed.
43. What are the main types of extreme sports? (不多于4个单词)
44. Why are the understanding and use of physical laws important for extreme athletes?
45. What is the most important thing to keep in mind when people do extreme sports? (不多于4个单词) 【答案】43. Air, Land and Water.
44. Because extreme athletes have to operate and display their skills in free-flowing natural environment./Because extreme sports are normally played, exercised or practiced in free or uncontrolled environment. 45. To know your limits.

46.假设你是红星中学高一学生李华，上周你们年级进行了社会实践活动，参观了故宫和长城。请就你所参观的一处景点写一篇英文报告，供其他年级参考。内容包括： ．．（1）景点的简介；
（2）将此景点作为实践活动基地的优缺点； （3）你对到此景点参观的建议。 注意：（1）词数不少于50。
（2）开头已给出。
提示词： the Great Wall; the Forbidden City
The ________________ is ...
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible version 1.
The aim of this report is to share opinions about visiting the Great Wall, one of the places we visited in the study tour last week.
Located in the northwest of Beijing, the Great Wall is a famous tourist attraction in Beijing, with a history of
11页
more than 2000 years.
On one hand, there are some good things about choosing the Great Wall as a base for the study tour. Firstly, the Great Wall, which served as a protective barrier against the enemies in ancient times, is an ideal place for students to learn more from its rich history. What’s more, with the beautiful scenery and fresh air, we will have a good relaxation. Last but not the least, we can exercise our body and willpower as well during the trip.
On the other hand, there are still some disadvantages. First, as a world-famous scenic spot, the Great Wall attracts millions of travelers every day, so it can be crowded especially on weekends. Apart from that, there are no seats on the Great Wall, which means it can be very tiring if we stay there for a whole day.
In conclusion, the Great Wall is a good choice. However, avoid going there on weekends, for there will be a large number of visitors at that time. Besides, wear comfortable shoes and clothes as they will give you an easier time there.
Possible version 2.
Located at the very heart of Beijing, the Forbidden City is the world’s largest palace complex which attracts tourists from home and abroad. Surrounded by high walls and wide moats, the Forbidden City covers a large area and consists of a great number of halls. It is a landmark in the city of Beijing both in ancient and modern times, and definitely a must-see for a study tour.
For your study tour, the Forbidden City has much to offer with its well-preserved palaces, delicately decorated rooms and unparalleled collection of art treasures. As you enter the Forbidden City, you may be amazed at the grand halls and marvelous architecture rich in historical and cultural meaning. For example, the carvings of dragons and clouds on the roofs used frequently in imperial palaces to symbolize royalty are hard to ignore. Another reason to visit the Forbidden City during your study tour is that it is quite convenient to reach by subway, bus, or taxi because it lies at the very center of Beijing. In addition, touring the Forbidden City only takes 3 to 4 hours and the ticket costs less than 100 yuan. Therefore, a study tour of the Forbidden City is extremely worthwhile.
Appealing as it may sound, visiting the Forbidden City can be annoying during holidays, when travelers crowd into the Palace for brief sightseeing, making it hardly possible to savor the hidden charm. Furthermore, while wandering through the hundreds of halls, you can easily get lost. Plus, it can be difficult to understand and appreciate the culture and history related to the Forbidden City without proper guidance.
To make the trip to the Forbidden City truly rewarding, I strongly recommend that you should visit the place during weekdays to avoid the crowd. In the meantime, arrange your trip in advance so that you can choose the most convenient transportation means to save time. Finally, do not forget to find some experienced tour guides to make
12页
the journey a real study tour instead of a mere sightseeing trip.
