【題目】Sometimes known as “The Big Apple” or “the City That Never Sleeps”, New York is both the most populous city in the USA and a leading center of business, commerce, finance and media. The city is often referred to as “New York City”, in order to distinguish it from the state it is in. The city is part of a large metropolitan（大都市的）area, and the combined city population exceeds 18.7 million.

New York City is made up of five boroughs（行政區(qū)）and hence another nickname of the city is “The Five Boroughs”. The five boroughs are: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island.

There are many famous buildings and sights in New York, especially in Manhattan. These include the Empire State Building, the Flatiron Building and the United Nations Building. When you visit New York, make sure you see Central Park, Times Square, Chinatown, Little Italy and of course the Statue of Liberty. Additionally, there are many wonderful museums in New York, some truly excellent shops, some of the world’s best theaters in the Broadway area, and the neighborhoods of Greenwich Village and SoHo which are well-known for the artists who reside there.

Getting around New York City is simple—the city’s subway network is one of the most comprehensive in the world, connecting all parts of Manhattan in rapid time.

However, the best way to see New York is undoubtedly on foot. Central Park is an ideal place to start a walking tour of New York City—843 acres of shining ponds and lush greenery attract locals and tourists. And apart from offering breathtaking scenery, it is a centre for recreation. Visitors can listen to music groups, watch performers, walk along the trails and even take a romantic ride in a horse carriage.

【1】What is the purpose of this passage?

A. To explain why New York is called “The Big Apple”.

B. To tell people how to visit New York.

C. To tell people the history and scenery of New York.

D. To introduce the city—New York briefly.

C. all the famous buildings and sights in New York are in Manhattan

D. the writer advise people to see New York City by subway

【3】The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to ________.

【4】According to the passage, you can do all the following things in Central Park EXCEPT ________.

C. go for a swim D. take a ride on a horse carriage

【答案】

【1】D

【2】A

【3】D

【4】C

【解析】

試題這是一篇說(shuō)明文。主要介紹了美國(guó)紐約的概況以及它的行政區(qū)劃，旅游交通等等。

【1】寫作意圖題。通讀全文可知，第一段介紹了紐約的概況，接下來(lái)依次介紹了紐約的五個(gè)區(qū)，旅游景點(diǎn)、交通、中央公園。因此推斷本文的寫作目的是簡(jiǎn)單地介紹紐約。故選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段的“some of the world’s best theaters in the Broadway area”可知，在紐約的百老匯地區(qū)有許多世界上最好的劇院。故選A。

【3】詞義替代題。由上下文語(yǔ)境可知，it指的是Central Park，中央公園是一個(gè)理想的步行游覽紐約市的地方，此處說(shuō)明除了提供令人嘆為觀止的風(fēng)景外，它還是一個(gè)娛樂中心。故選D。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由最后一段的“And apart from offering breathtaking scenery, it is a centre for recreation. Visitors can listen to music groups, watch performers, walk along the trails and even take a romantic ride in a horse carriage.”可知，除了提供令人嘆為觀止的風(fēng)景外，它還是一個(gè)娛樂中心。游客可以在這里聽音樂，觀看表演者，沿著小徑散步，甚至可以乘坐馬車進(jìn)行浪漫地兜風(fēng)。C項(xiàng)游泳不能在此進(jìn)行，故選C。

作者意圖題包括意圖、態(tài)度和目的。不同的文章可以有不同的的寫作目的，主要有：1）to entertain readers（娛樂讀者，讓人發(fā)笑）這種寫作意圖常見于故事類的文章；2）to persuade readers，to sell a product or a service（說(shuō)服讀者接受某種觀點(diǎn)）這種寫作意圖通常通過(guò)對(duì)旅游景點(diǎn)、報(bào)紙雜志、影片、電視節(jié)目等的介紹來(lái)達(dá)到寫作目的；吸引更多的游客、讀者或客戶、觀眾等；3）to inform reader（告知讀者某些信息）這種寫作意圖多見于科普類、新聞報(bào)道類、文化類或者社會(huì)類的文章，了解這類文章的寫作目的依靠對(duì)文章的正確把握，閱讀時(shí)找準(zhǔn)主題句或較好的對(duì)主題思想的歸納。例如小題1，就屬于第三種寫作意圖，要求考生通讀全文掌握大意，第一段介紹了紐約的概況，接下來(lái)依次介紹了紐約的五個(gè)區(qū)，旅游勝地以及交通。因此推斷本文的寫作目的是向讀者簡(jiǎn)單地介紹紐約。故選D。

【題目】 For some people, running outdoors is a great way to exercise. What may not be so great is seeing trash all over the ground. Well, some people are doing something about it. They are plogging! Plogging began in Sweden in 2016. A Swedish man named Erik Ahlstrom became concerned about the amount of trash and litter he saw each day on his way to work and he began picking up the trash. That is how plogging was born!

Plogging, by that term，may have officially begun in Sweden. But many people who exercise outdoors have been doing this for years. Take Jeff Horowitz for example. He is a personal trainer in Washington，D. C. He would often pick up trash while running outside. He even turned it into a game; he would try to pick up the trash without stopping.

Today, plogging is an official activity, one that is becoming increasingly popular. Plogging can build closer social connections in a community, and it can also be fun. When Dana Allen goes plogging around D. C., she invites her friends, and they make a day of it. Although Allen enjoys plogging，she doesn’t do it all the time. When she is training for a serious marathon race，the trash has to wait.

Cities around the world now hold plogging events. The goal is to spread the idea that littering is not acceptable. Along with cleaning up the environment, there may be another reason to choose plogging. One fitness app，Lifesum，records one hour of plogging as burning 288 calories. Usual jogging burns about 235 calories.

Getting ready to plog is similar to getting ready to jog. Ploggers do some deep knee bends as well as some balancing exercises and then they put on protective gloves. There are other safety rules for plogging. The main one is to plog in areas where there are not too many people. Stopping quickly in front of someone. to pick up an empty bag of potato chips, for example, could cause a crash.

【1】What do we know about Jeff Horowitz from the text?

A.He was the first person to plog.B.He has been actually plogging.

C.He is in support of eco-travelling.D.He is an expert in picking up trash.

【2】What is so special about Dana Allen’s plogging?

A.She doesn’t always do it with her friends.

B.She always finds it interesting to do it.

C.She nearly does it in a park every day.

D.She doesn’t insist doing it every day.

【3】What do the numbers in Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?

A.Picking up trash is important.B.Plogging events are of little use.

C.Plogging is a better workout.D.The idea of plogging is strange.

【4】Why should ploggers choose to plog in less crowded areas?

A.To avoid a crash.B.To save energy.

C.To pick up more trash.D.To make it unknown.

【題目】 Press your fingers into the back of your head, just above your neck. If you feel a small bony bump (突起), you will find evidence of human evolution: it could be your body responding to common smartphone use in the 21st century.

According to a recent study, published in Scientific Reports, young people increasingly have bony bumps at the base of their skulls (顱骨) right above the neck. Medical professionals call them enlarged external occipital protuberances(EEOPs, 枕外隆突).

Australian health scientist David Shahar, author of the study told the BBC that over the past 10 years, he’s seen more and more patients with EEOPs. Together with other researchers from the University of the Sunshine Coast, Australia, they examined 1200 skulls x-rays from people aged 18 to 30. They also measured the bumps and noted each person’s posture (坐姿).

They found that one in four people have developed these growths. This led to their theory that smartphones are the cause.

According to their research, looking down at their phones adds the stress onto the top of our spines (脊柱). To prevent damage to our spines, Shahar believes our bodies add fresh bony bumps to help reduce the extra stress.

Most of the EEOPs measurea just a few millimeters. However, several subjects were found with EEOPs as large as 30 mm.

In his report, Shahar said the results “highlighted the need” for prevention. In other words, we need to change our posture while using our phones.

Many people assume our bones are solid and are unmoving once we reach adulthood. In reality, they are alive and covered with blood vessels (血管), which allows them to develop in unique ways for each person.

Aside from EEOPs, other noticeable recent changes in human bodies include smaller jaws, elbows and skeletons (骨格). The human body is changing with modern life. So who knows what people in the future might look like?

【1】What did the recent study find about EEPOs?

A.They grow on one’s neck.

B.They could lead to many mental problems.

C.They increasingly occur among young people.

D.They may stop growing when they reach 30.

【2】What is the main cause of EEPOs?

A.Gene problems.B.Cellphone use.

C.Blood vessels.D.Extra stress.

【3】Which of the following would Shahar probably agree with?

A.EEPOs increase the stress on our spines.

B.Young people’s bones develop in similar ways.

C.EEPOs are actually beneficial to our spines.

D.Young people should exercise to improve their posture.

【4】What’s the main purpose of the text?

A.To persuade readers to protect their spines.

B.To recommend some healthy habits of using phones.

C.To show some recent changes in human bodies.

D.To explain why human bodies develop EEPOs.

【題目】 In 2005, Winston Duncan was traveling with his mother in Southern Africa when he saw an old lady and young boy walking down a road together. He thought of his own grandmother and wondered how he could help the old lady and others in Africa who have to walk a long way.

Duncan, who lived in Washington State was 10 at the time, and his solution was to give them bikes. With his mom, he started Wheels to Africa, an organization that for the past 14 years has taken bicycles donated from residents of the. Washington area and shipped them across the world to people in need.

Most of the 8000 bikes they have collected have gone to countries in Africa, helping cut down hours of walking for students and other postmen. But last week, Duncan, travelled with a handful of volunteers and 400 bikes to a destination much closer to his home yet still in need: Puerto Rico. More than a year after it was destroyed by Hurricane Maria, the island suffers from transportation problems.

"It was a little chaotic (混亂的) — as soon as they got their bikes, they were just having fun riding around the parking lot," said Austin Higgins, a New Jersey resident who recently joined Wheels to Africa as its photographer and videographer. "Some people who received bicycles were almost speechless, and some of them cried, because it was something they had requested for Christmas from Santa Claus," he said.

The donated bikes included some high-end racing models, which went to teenagers interested in pursuing serious cycling.

Duncan recently graduated from Bard College and is in Arlington working at a political consulting firm. He now encourages kids in the Washington area to get involved with the organization, and some have joined him on trips to Africa and on this trip to Puerto Rico.

"I wanted to try to get people to think about giving back,” he said.

【1】Why did Winston Duncan start Wheels to Africa?

A.He hoped to make his grandmother feel happy.

B.He was fond of collecting different types of bikes.

C.He wanted to help the poor people to live better.

D.He was greatly supported by his mother to do so.

【2】What can we learn about Wheels to Africa?

A.It has been managed for fourteen years.

B.It has delivered about 400 bikes to Africa.

C.It has many young kids as its members now.

D.It collects bicycles from all the areas in the U. S.

【3】What can we infer from Austin Higgin's words in Paragraph Four?

A.The delivery usually meets with some trouble.

B.The people who got bikes were excited and grateful.

C.It was very difficult for Duncan to collect enough bikes.

D.People in Africa required him to dress up as Santa Claus.

【4】What is probably the best title of the text?

A.Wheels to Africa.B.Trip to Puerto Rico.

C.Duncan, a Generous Person.D.Hurricane in Puerto Rico.
