【解析】

这是一篇说明文。为了应对语言障碍和沟通失误这一常见的旅游困境,一些瑞士设计师设计了一款可以帮助旅游者能不言自明的服装。文章还介绍了这件服装是如何帮助人们解决语言障碍以及设计这件服装的灵感来源。

1考查名词复数。根据句意“一些瑞士设计师设计了一款可以帮助旅游者能不言自明的服装”,可知空处填名词“设计师”,designer为可数名词,且被some修饰。故填designers

2考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知, Iconspeak与空处所填的词在逻辑上是被动关系,所以用过去分词作状语。 置于句首,首字母大写。故填Founded

3考查形容词。amazing“令人惊讶的”,通常修饰物,本句修饰products。故填amazing

4考查连词。根据句意“不管你称之为懒惰或是天才,我们都喜欢保持简单”可知,前后句意为选择关系。故填or

5考查时态和主谓一致。本句为全部倒装句,主语为40 easily recognizable symbols,且句子为一般现在时,所以be动词为are。故填are

6考查代词。根据句意“上面有近40个容易识别的符号,代表着旅行者在世界任何地方都可以用来表达自己的共同概念。”所以空处填反身代词,且主语为travelers。故填themselves

7考查时态。根据时间状语“In 2013”可知,本句为一般过去时。故填broke

8考查介词。根据句意“通过在纸上画出图像和符号,他们可以以某种方式解释他们的处境。”所以空处填介词by , 置于句首,首字母大写。故填By

9考查冠词。tool为可数名词,且根据句意“衬衫是一个独特的翻译工具”,所以表示泛指,且unique首字母的发音为辅音音素。故填a

10考查副词。simply为副词,修饰动词pointing。故填simply

非谓语动词是考试考查的重点,要掌握它的用法。首先,要弄清楚填空处要填的是非谓语。其次,要知道非谓语动词的三种形式:现在分词表示主动进行、过去分词表示被动完成、动词不定式表示目的和将要。再次,要知道非谓语动作与谓语动作是同时发生还是先后发生,还是将要发生。其中分词做状语的考查尤为重要。

分析小题2的句子可知, Iconspeak与空处所填的词在逻辑上是被动关系,所以用过去分词作状语。 置于句首,首字母大写。故填Founded

【题目】 Where should an adventurous tourist go? After you've done sightseeing in London, shopping in New York, enjoyed the local food in Paris, and danced to your heart's content at the Brazilian carnival, where else can you go? What attractive tourist destination awaits you?

Well, Antarctica sounds like the holiday of a lifetime! It's considered the last great wilderness on Earth. Just a few scientists in research stations share the icy landscape with penguins and other animals which can struggle with the low temperatures.

Tourism began in Antarctica in the 1950s and it's still small part. About 37,000 tourists are expected there this season, but many won't even leave the boat.

The BBC’s Juliet Rix visited the frozen continent and asked herself if she should be there at all, causing potential problems to such a sensitive environment. Her tour guide admitted that all visitors leave a footprint and they all go to the same places, the accessible coastline, which is also where the penguins and seals go to raise.

But some people believe that if carefully controlled, tourism can be good for Antarctica. It has no native population and it needs advocates. Visitors to the icy continent might be ready to support and even to fund its preservation. And they're likely to engage in the discussion about global warming, which has led to the melting of glaciers.

According to Rix, guidelines are followed when you're about to set foot in Antarctica and tourists have to disinfect their boots to make sure no alien species are introduced.

And once on land, there's no eating or smoking. Rocks, bone fragments—nothing should be taken as a souvenir and nothing should be left behind.

Tourists fortunate enough to visit the Antarctic must be aware that this is not their home and keep their fingers crossed that future generations will also be able to enjoy such breathtaking views.

1What can we infer from the second paragraph?

A.The Antarctic has become the best place for people to travel.

B.Only scientists can be allowed to go to Antarctic.

C.Antarctic is less affected by human activities.

D.No animals can survive in Antarctic expect penguins.

2Juliet Rix’s travel in Antarctic mentioned in the fourth paragraph indicates that .

A.whether tourists should go to Antarctic or not should be considered carefully

B.governments should take measures to stop tourists from going to Antarctic

C.the animals’ habitat in Antarctic has been seriously affected by tourism

D.only journalists begin to pay attention to the environmental protection in Antarctic

3What does the underlined word “disinfect” in the sixth paragraph probably mean?

A.Clean.B.Move.

C.Remove.D.Change.

【题目】 As individuals age, many will experience decreased memory abilities.1Some signs include forgetting phone numbers, misplacing car keys, and struggling with name recall. This decline is associated with a routine that leaves parts of the brain unused. Memory exercises can help keep typically unused parts of the brain active and improve memory abilities.

2It can be something as simple as going to a new restaurant for lunch, cooking something completely new, or visiting a friend in the next town for the weekend. New sensory stimulation can help refresh memory.

Another easy way to improve memory is to use one's non-dominant hand to do simple tasks. For example, if one is right-handed, the left hand could be used to brush teeth or comb hair.3But in fact, a part of the brain is being used that is rarely put to work, making the brain stronger.

4This might include studying a new language or researching how to do a math problem. And it does not have to be something traditionally thought of as brain stimulating. Learning a new craft or sport may also activate the brain in new ways.

Not only can mind exercises improve memory, but physical exercise can as well. Studies show that exercise can improve memory abilities as it increases blood circulation and therefore more oxygen can reach the brain.5

A.This may feel slow and ineffective.

B.Short-term memory is often the first to suffer.

C.Talking with others can also improve one's memory.

D.Even as little as 30 minutes of walking each day can help.

E.Memory exercises can also be accomplished by learning new things.

F.One type of memory exercise involves changing one's regular routine.

G.Being alone can cause stress and depressionwhich affects memory negatively.
