1、 A land of diversity 李仕才 ***閱讀理解。 Beijing’s Forbidden City is a place full of wonder. From its thousands of rooms to its many beautiful artifacts, there’s no wonder it’s one of China’s most popular tourist destinations. But even more than 600 years after it was built, it’s still managing to s

2、erve up surprises. Since it was built during the Ming Dynasty, it’s estimated that the Forbidden City has survived more than 200 earthquakes. And while most structures aren’t made to survive natural disasters, let alone ones built hundreds of years ago, it seems that the Forbidden City was built to

3、withstand anything. A recent television documentary by UK broadcaster Channel 4 explored the skills of the ancient building’s designers. A group of Chinese carpenters and engineers were shown building a scale model (成比例模型) of one of the Forbidden City’s palaces, at one fifth of the size. To show

4、 how strong ancient Chinese architecture really is, the model was put to the test. It was subjected to a simulated (模擬的) earthquake of 9.5 on the Richter scale – equivalent to the largest ever recorded quake – and survived. Instead of falling apart, the model was just moved gently during the test.

5、 According to experts, the answer to the Forbidden City’s strength, as well as other ancient Chinese structures’, lies in dougong– a centuries-old building method invented in China. This is the name for special brackets on buildings. Despite being held together without any nails or glue, the bracket

6、s are perfect at keeping structures together when the weather gets rough. “Dougong design is an important earthquake-resistant feature of classical Chinese structures because the framework changes in shape when under pressure, much like the shock absorbers (減震器) of a car,” according to Chinese Nat

7、ional Geography. “Ancient Chinese craftsmen created structures that were both enduring and aesthetically (在美學方面) pleasing using dougong, revealing their advanced understanding of mathematics, architecture, materials, and structural science.” The Forbidden City draws visitors because of its rich

8、history and cultural significance, but perhaps it should add one more thing to its list of attractions: earthquake shelter. 1. What is the article mainly about? A.What has made the Forbidden City a popular tourist destination. B.What has helped the Forbidden City survive so many earthquakes.

9、C.The characteristics of Chinese architecture during the Ming Dynasty. D.A variety of building methods used in ancient Chinese structures. 2. Which of the following can best replace the underlined phrase “was subjected to” in Paragraph 4? A. suffered B. was controlled by C. obeyed

12、enter of a traditional Chinese house. 【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了紫禁城的斗拱設計幫助它能夠在多次地震中幸存。 1. B【解析】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容，特別是倒數(shù)第二段中的“Dougong design is an important earthquake-resistant feature of classical Chinese structures because the framework changes in shape when under pressure”可知，紫禁城的斗拱設計幫助它能夠在多次地震中幸存。 3

13、. D【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“To show how strong ancient Chinese architecture really is, the model was put to the test. ”可知，測試的目的是證明中國古建筑的抗震性。 4. C【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“dougong– a centuries-old building method invented in China. This is the name for special brackets on buildings.”可知，斗拱是連接中國傳統(tǒng)建筑物的一個特殊部件。

14、***語法填空。 Creativity is a mysterious idea. We seem __1__ (feel) that some people are naturally creative, but we dont know how they got that way. Is creativity a natural gift, or is __2__ something that can __3__ (acquire)? Perhaps if we analyze the creative process __4__ (careful), we might get som

15、e insight (洞察力) into what it is and __5__ it might work in our lives. The creative process has always been accepted as the source of all important work in the arts, but we should not think the creativity plays a part only in the arts. Every major scientific discovery began with someone __6__ (imagin

16、e) the world differently from the way others saw it. And this is __7__ creativity is all about. And despite what you may believe about the limits of your own creative imagination, we all have the potential to imagine the world in __8__ absolutely new way. In fact, you are born __9__ it. And whats m

17、ore, you use it every day. Its your creative mind __10__ gets meaning from chaos of experiences and brings order to your world. 1．________ 　2.________ 　3.________ 　4.________ 　 5.________ 　6.________ 　7.________ 　8.________ 　 9.________ 　10.________ 篇章導讀：本文是一篇議論文。創(chuàng)造力是天生的才華，還是后天也可以獲得？本文就這一話題展開了討

18、論。 1．to feel 考查非謂語動詞。我們感覺似乎某些人天生具有創(chuàng)造力。seem to do sth.“似乎要做某事”。 2．it 考查代詞。創(chuàng)造力是天生的才華，還是后天也可以習得的？這里用it指代creativity。 3．be acquired 考查被動語態(tài)。先行詞something和acquire之間是被動關系，又因為情態(tài)動詞can后要用動詞原形，故此空填be acquired。 4．carefully 考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。也許如果我們仔細分析創(chuàng)造的過程，我們就會洞察到什么是創(chuàng)造力，它是如何在我們的生活中起作用的。這里用副詞修飾動詞analyze。 5．how 考查特殊疑問詞。此

19、處表述創(chuàng)造力是如何在我們生活中起作用的。由語義可知填how。 6．imagining 考查with的復合結構。每次重大的科學發(fā)現(xiàn)都以某個人以不同于其他人的方式看待這個世界開始。此處為“with＋賓語＋賓語補足語”結構，賓語和賓補之間是邏輯上的主謂關系，故此空填imagining。 7．what 考查名詞性從句的連接詞。創(chuàng)造力就是用一種新的方式想象世界?？崭裉幰龑П碚Z從句并在從句中作介詞about的賓語，故填連接代詞what。 8．a(chǎn)n 考查冠詞。我們都有這種潛能，用一種全新的方式想象這個世界。absolutely的發(fā)音以元音音素開頭，故用不定冠詞an，表泛指。 9．with 考查介詞。

20、事實上，你天生具有創(chuàng)造力。be born with “生而具有”。 10．that 考查強調(diào)句。正是創(chuàng)造性思維使得你從混亂的經(jīng)歷中找到意義，給你的世界帶來秩序。由強調(diào)句基本結構“It is/was＋被強調(diào)部分＋that/who(當強調(diào)主語且主語指人)＋其他部分”可確定答案。 ***完形填空。 One day，while we were visiting my parents on a farm in late summer，Dad mentioned hed always wanted a Crimson King Maple Tree for the yard.Mom agreed

21、 that the trees were __1__. Like many other parents，mine were hard to __2__ for，so I figured this was a great opportunity to get them something theyd __3__.I also thought two would be even better.I checked the __4__ at work and decided it was a bit more than I could __5__—but all of my siblings(兄弟姊

22、妹)agreed to give some money to buy the trees.

On the __11__ Sunday，we all met at my house and __12__ the trees into a truck.I __13__ as Santa Claus.When we arrived at my parents house，Dad was __14__ something was wrong first.He and Mom

24、 were amazed when we told them __15__ we were there. When Christmas __16__，of course，we couldnt go to our parents house emptyhanded，so Mom and Dad got __17__ presents that year.Almost half a century later，I __18__ drive by the old farm and smile when I see those big，handsome __19__ and remember giv

26、 D．express 5．A.afford B．expect C．fancy D．handle 6．A.frighten B．a(chǎn)ssist C．surprise D．reward 7．A.warmed B．froze C．softened D．darkened 8．A.trick B．purchase C．choice D．decoration 9．A.in advance B．in time C

27、．by accident D．on purpose 10．A.service B．a(chǎn)ction C．effect D．production 11．A.regular B．separate C．given D．chosen 12．A.sorted B．loaded C．transported D．transplanted 13．A.dressed up B．passed off C．looked on D．started out 14．A.deli

28、ghted B．a(chǎn)nnoyed C．disappointed D．convinced 15．A.when B．how C．why D．whether 16．A.came around B．dropped out C．turned up D．drew in 17．A.generous B．a(chǎn)dditional C．double D．special 18．A.even B．just C．once D．still 19．A.farms

29、 B．trees C．trucks D．yards 20．A.congratulation B．gift C．donation D．greeting 【解題導語】本文為記敘文，涉及家庭關系話題。作者講述了自己和親人們一起用特別的方式給其父母帶來驚喜的經(jīng)歷。 1．D　上文提及父親想要在庭院種植一棵楓樹，下文提及“those big, handsome”，故此處應是母親也欣然同意，認為楓樹很漂亮(pretty)。distinctive“與眾不同的”；fragrant“芳香的”。 2．A　根據(jù)上文的“Like many other parents, mine

30、were hard to”，下文的“so I figured this was a great opportunity to get them something”以及接下來介紹的作者兄弟姊妹幾人為父母買禮物的內(nèi)容可知，此處指作者覺得給父母買東西是很難的，故選shop“購物”。 3．B　根據(jù)上文的“Dad mentioned hed always wanted a Crimson King Maple Tree for the yard...”及下文介紹的為父母買禮物的內(nèi)容可知，此處指作者認為這是一個給父母買他們欣賞的東西的好機會。deserve“值得，應得”；appreciate“感激，欣

31、賞”；advertise“為……做廣告”；imagine“想象”。 4．C　根據(jù)下文的“but all of my siblings(兄弟姊妹)agreed to give some money to buy the trees”可知，作者在上班時查看了一下楓樹的價格(price)，認為它的價格比自己能支付得起(afford)的還要高一點。express“快遞”。 5．A　參見上題解析。 6．C　從下文作者聯(lián)合其姑姑來幫忙實施這個計劃以及計劃具體實施的內(nèi)容可知，作者他們想給父母一個驚喜(surprise)。assist“幫助，協(xié)助”。 7．B　根據(jù)上下文語境及句中的“In northe

Yours， Li Hua 難項分析： 第一處：which→what　考查主語從句的連接詞。分析句子結構可知，but連接兩個并列句，其后不是定語從句，故不能用which引導；連接詞引導主語從句，表示“所……的事”，故用what。 第二處：spirit→spirits　考查名詞的數(shù)。in low spirits為固定詞組，意為“情緒低落”。 第四處：It→There　考查固定句式。There is no doubt that ... “毫無疑問，……”，是固定句型。 *** 我國經(jīng)濟發(fā)展進入新常態(tài)，需要轉(zhuǎn)變經(jīng)濟發(fā)展方式，改變粗放式增長模式，不斷優(yōu)化經(jīng)濟結構，實現(xiàn)經(jīng)濟健康可持續(xù)發(fā)展進區(qū)域協(xié)調(diào)發(fā)展，推進新型城鎮(zhèn)化，推動城鄉(xiāng)發(fā)展一體化因：我國經(jīng)濟發(fā)展還面臨區(qū)域發(fā)展不平衡、城鎮(zhèn)化水平不高、城鄉(xiāng)發(fā)展不平衡不協(xié)調(diào)等現(xiàn)實挑戰(zhàn)。
