【解析】

这是一篇人物传记类阅读。主要对一位美国著名的儿童作家——Joanna Cole进行介绍。到目前为止，她写了250多本书，并且她在书中有意识的引导孩子们像科学家一样思考。

【1】

考查形容词最高级。句意：乔安娜·科尔，1944年8月11日出生于新泽西州纽瓦克，一直被认为是有史以来最受欢迎的儿童作家之一。根据one of和of all time可知，此空应该填形容词的最高级，popular的最高级是the most popular，故填 most popular。

【2】

考查时态。句意：到目前为止，她写了250多本书。根据关键词so far可知，此句应该用现在完成时，又因此句主语She是第三人称单数，故填has written。

【3】

考查副词。句意：乔安娜·科尔继续接受教育，最终获得了学士学位。earned a bachelor’s degree为动词短语，所以此处空白处该修饰本句空后的部分，所以应该用副词。因此将final转化为副词形式，故填finally。

【4】

考查连接副词。句意：所以，她认为她会成为第一个。根据上文的 “had never been a book written for children about cockroaches.”，表示从来没有为儿童写过关于蟑螂的书，空前后是因果关系，而且空后有逗号隔开，所以应该填一个表示结果的副词，therefore是副词，意为“因此”。又因在句子开头，故填Therefore。

【5】

考查动名词。句意：这本书将在第2年出版。the following year为固定搭配，表示“第二年”，following意为“其次的，后面的”。故填following。

【6】

考查名词。句意：这本书将在第二年出版，由于它的成功，很快就成了丛书和动画片。空前的its是形容词性物主代词，表示形容词的意义，所以后应跟名词。故填succeed应该转化为名词形式success。故填success。

【7】

考查动词的固定搭配。句意：科尔的写作方式有希望激发孩子们像科学家一样思考。inspire sb. to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“激励某人做某事”。故填to think。

【8】

考查定语从句。句意：她还试图在书中提出一些问题，要求孩子们在阅读时思考并发现答案。此处questions是先行词，在定语从句中作主语。而空白后缺少一个主语，which/that 指代事物，在定语从句中作主语或宾语。故填which/that。

【9】

考查冠词。句意：这为孩子们创造了一种引人入胜的体验，所以难怪年轻读者对她的书感兴趣。由此可知，她的书为孩子们创造了一种引人入胜的体验，experience当“体验”讲时，是可数名词，但没有加复数，所以应该是单数意义，而且空后engaging的第一个字母是“e”，为元音发音开头，故应用an来修饰，表示泛指。故填an。

【10】

考查固定搭配。句意：这为孩子们创造了一种引人入胜的体验，所以难怪年轻读者对她的书感兴趣。此处，be interested in为固定句型，表示对……感兴趣。故填in。

现在完成时( The Present Perfect Tense)是过去的动作或状态持续到现在并且已经完成，对现在造成的影响，可能持续发生下去。它的构成是：主语+助动词(have/has) +动词的过去分词。（have/has been/ done）。如小题2 根据关键词so far可知，此句应该用现在完成时，又因此句主语She是第三人称单数，故填has written。

【题目】 During Amsterdam’s chaotic rush hour, nine-year-old Lotta Crok cycles to a very busy crossing. “Look,” she says. “There’s traffic coming from everywhere. Four buses from four different directions. For a child on a bike that’s really confusing!”

Lotta is the first junior cycle mayor in the world and her working area is the Dutch capital. You would think this challenge would be superfluous in a city known as the bicycle capital of the world. The number of bicycles in Amsterdam is estimated at 810,000 more than the city’s 750,000 inhabitants and 63% of the population cycle daily.

But children who cycle in Amsterdam face challenges. Lotta says: “The three biggest problems for us are cars, cycling tourists and scooters(小型摩托). The cars take up too much space, the tourists are always swinging side to side and stop when you least expect it, and the scooters simply run you over.”

Lotta became junior cycle mayor in June last year when she won a contest in which school children were asked to come up with plans to make cycling safer and more fun. Her idea was to add children’s bikes to the popular bike share programme.

Since Lotta was appointed junior cycle mayor, she has been busy giving interviews, opening cycling contests in the city and being a jury member during the Amsterdam Light Parade, an event in which Amsterdammers decorate their bikes with lights.

She is now planning a meeting with the city’s mayor to discuss ideas that children have come up with: “One of our proposals is a bicycle park where children can learn how to cycle. Right now, most of us learn it in the street, which can be quite busy. Another idea is to create an app for tourists to teach them the rules of cycling, because most of them really don’t know.”

Following the success of the Amsterdam plan, cycle mayors around the world are now planning to appoint junior colleagues. “They see it works really well,” Boerma, the senior major, says. “I talk to the parents. Lotta talks to the children. And if you look at the city through the eyes of a child, you will also make it accessible for others. A city that’s good for an eight-year-old is also good for an 88-year-old.”

【1】Why is a junior cycle mayor appointed in Amsterdam?

A.To teach children how to ride.

B.To ensure cycling is safer for children.

C.To give suggestions to the city’s mayor on how to run the city.

D.To organize the cycling contests in the city.

【2】Which word can best replace the underlined word “superfluous” in paragraph 2?

A.ImportantB.UnnecessaryC.DifficultD.Valuable

【3】What’s Boerma’s attitude to the junior cycle mayor?

A.FavorableB.CautiousC.AmbiguousD.Disapproving

【题目】 Given the size of the country, the climate in Australia varies greatly from one zone to the next. Generally speaking, there are four seasons across most of the country while the Top End (including Darwin, Katherine, Kakadu and Arnhem Land), Broome, the Kimberley and Tropical North Queensland experience a ‘wet season’ ( November to April) and a ‘dry season’ (May to October).

It’s also important to remember that Australia’s seasons are at opposite times to those in the Northern Hemisphere (半球). So if you’re looking for an endless summer, just head Down Under as things start to cool off in the Northern Hemisphere.

Summer in Australia falls between December and February and is famous for sunny days with high temperatures. It’s the wet season in the tropical north (November to April), which is characterised by monsoonal (季风) rains. Many tourism operations are closed for the season, so are some national parks (such as Kakadu) due to flood risks. The same period is also the official hurricane season for areas around Cairns, although storms can also occur outside of this period.

For the ideal Australian summer, head to the southern parts of the country where you’ll find hot, sunny days to enjoy the unbelievable experiences on offer. The great weather encourages a steady flock of visitors to the country’s beautiful beaches to swim, surf or just relax. Celebrate the new year like a true Australian—with a beach barbecue—or visit Sydney for their internationally famous New Year’s Eve fireworks display. It’s a popular time for travel in Australia, both for local families and international visitors. Check the school holiday calendar for more information on break periods, and remember to book your accommodation in advance to avoid disappointment.

【1】Which month is considered as a dry season in Broome?

A.April.B.September.

C.November.D.December.

【2】What does the underlined part “Down Under” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A.A club.B.An airport.

C.Australia.D.The Northern Hemisphere.

【3】What is the main characteristic in the northern Australia in summer?

A.Bad weather.B.The beach barbecue.

C.Fireworks.D.Beautiful beaches.

【题目】 A remarkable variety of insects live on this planet. More species of insects exist than all other animal species together. Insects have survived on earth for more than 300 million years，and may possess the ability to survive for millions more.

Insects can be found almost everywhere—on the highest mountains and on the bottom of rushing streams, in the cold South Pole and in bubbling hot springs. They dig through the ground, jump and sing in the trees, and run and dance in the air. They come in many different colors and various shapes. Insects are extremely useful to humans, pollinating (授粉) our crops as well as flowers in meadows, forests, deserts and other areas. But ticks and some insects, such as mosquitoes and fleas, can transmit disease.

There are many reasons why insects are so successful at surviving. Their amazing ability to adapt permits them to live in extreme ranges of temperatures and environments. The one place they have not yet been found to any major extent is in the open oceans. Insects can survive on a wide range of natural and artificial foods—paint, pepper, glue, books, grain, cotton, other insects, plants and animals. Because they are small, they can hide in tiny spaces.

A strong, hard but flexible shell covers their soft organs and is resistant to chemicals, water and physical impact. Their wings give them the option of flying away from dangerous situations or toward food or mates. Also, insects have an enormous reproductive capacity: An African ant queen can lay as many as 43,000 eggs a day.

Another reason for their success is the strategy of protective color. An insect may be right before our eyes, but nearly invisible because it is cleverly disguised like a green leaf, lump of brown soil, gray lichen (青苔), a seed or some other natural object. Some insects use bright, bold colors to send warning signals that they taste bad, sting or are poisonous. Others have wing patterns that look like the eyes of a huge predator, confusing their enemies. Some insects also imitate bitter-tasting insects; hungry enemies are fooled into avoiding them.

【1】Insects protect themselves from chemicals by ______.

A.hiding in tiny spacesB.flying away when necessary

C.having a strong shellD.changing colors or shapes

【2】Some insects disguise like natural objects so as to ______.

A.avoid being discoveredB.frighten away their enemies

C.send warning signalsD.look bitter-tasting

【3】The passage is mainly about ______.

A.how insects survive in different placesB.why insects can survive so successfully

C.what insects can do to the environmentD.where insects can be found in quantity
