阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A PRACTITIONERS Jacqueline Felice de Almania (c. 1322) highlights the suspicion that women practicing medicine faced. Born to a Jewish family in Florence, she moved to Paris where she worked as a physician and performed surgery. In 1322 she was tried for practicing unlawfully. In spite of the court hearing testimonials (证明) of her ability as a doctor, she was banned from medicine.
Tan Yunxian (1461-1554) was a Chinese physician who learned her skills from her grandparents. Chinese women at the time could not serve apprenticeships (学徒期) with doctors. However, Tan passed the official exam. Tan treated women from all walks of life. In 1511, Tan wrote a book, Sayings of a Female Doctor, describing her life as a physician.
James Barry (c. 1789-1865) was born Margaret Bulkley in Ireland but, dressed as a man, she was accepted by Edinburgh University to study medicine. She qualified as a surgeon in 1813, then joined the British Army, serving overseas. Barry retired in 1859, having practiced her entire medical profession living and working as a man.
Rebecca Lee Crumpler (1831-1895) worked as a nurse for eight years before studying in medical college in Boston in 1860. Four years later, she was the first African American woman to receive a medical degree. She moved to Virginia in 1865, where she provided medical care to freed slaves.
21. What did Jacqueline and James have in common?
A. Doing teaching jobs.
B. Being hired as physicians.
C. Performing surgery.
D. Being banned from medicine.
22. How was Tan Yunxian different from the other practitioners?
A. She wrote a book.
B. She went through trials.
C. She worked as a dentist.
D. She had formal education.
23. Who was the first African American with a medical degree?
A. Jacqueline Felice de Almania.
B. Tan Yunxian.
C. James Barry.
D. Rebecca Lee Crumpler.
B Living in Iowa and trying to become a photographer specializing in landscape (风景) can be quite a challenge, mainly because the corn state lacks geographical variation.
Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar, either farm fields or highways, sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes. To make some of my landscape shots, I have traveled up to four hours away to shoot within 10-minute time frame. I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way.
Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography. I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph. I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/sunrises due to being on the sport only five minutes before the best moment.
One time my friends and I drove three hours to Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin, to climb the purple quartz (石英) rock around the lake. After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to photograph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset. However, we did not mark the route (路线) so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely.
24. How does the author deal with the challenge as a landscape photographer in the Midwest?
A. By teaming up with other photographers.
B. By shooting in the countryside or state parks.
C. By studying the geographical conditions.
D. By creating settings in the corn fields.
25. What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the author?
A. Proper time management. B. Good shooting techniques.
C. Adventurous spirit. D. Distinctive styles.
26. What can we infer from the author’s trip with friends to Devil’s Lake?
A. They went crazy with the purple quartz rock.
B. They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset.
C. They reached the shooting spot later than expected.
D. They had problems with their equipment.
27. How does the author find his photos taken at Devil’s Lake ?
A. Amusing. B. Satisfying. C. Encouraging. D. Comforting.
C What comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting? Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the best seller lists.
It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain’s consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.
According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK’s obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking.
28. What do people usually think of British food?
A. It is simple and plain. B. It is rich in nutrition.
C. It lacks authentic tastes. D. It deserves a high reputation.
29. Which best describes cookery programmes on British TV?
A. Authoritative. B. Creative.
C. Profitable. D. Influential.
30. Which is the percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now?
A. 20%. B. 24%.
C. 25%. D. 33%.
31. What might the author continue talking about?
A. The art of cooking in other countries.
B. Male chefs on TV programmes.
C. Table manners in the UK.
D. Studies of big eaters.
D If you want to tell the history of the whole world, a history that does not privilege one part of humanity, you cannot do it through texts alone, because only some of the world has ever had texts, while most of the world, for most of the time, has not. Writing is one of humanity’s later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate (有文字的) societies recorded their concerns not only in writing but in things.
Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects, and some chapters of this book are able to do just that, but in many cases we simply can’t. The clearest example of this between literate and non-literate history is perhaps the first conflict, at Botany Bay between Captain Cook’s voyage and the Australian Aboriginals. From the English side, we have scientific reports and the captain’s record of that terrible day. From the Australian side, we have only a wooden shield (盾) dropped by a man in flight after his first experience of gunshot. If we want to reconstruct what was actually going on that day, the shield must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and strictly as the written reports.
In addition to the problem of miscomprehension from both sides, there are victories accidentally or deliberately twisted, especially when only the victors know how to write. Those who are on the losing side often have only their things to tell their stories. The Caribbean Taino, the Australian Aboriginals, the African people of Benin and the Incas, all of whom appear in this book, can speak to us now of their past achievements most powerfully through the objects they made: a history told through things gives them back a voice. When we consider contact (联系) between literate and non-literate societies such as these, all our first-hand accounts are necessarily twisted, only one half of a dialogue. If we are to find the other half of that conversation, we have to read not just the texts, but the objects.
32. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. How past events should be presented.
B. What humanity is concerned about.
C. Whether facts speak louder than words.
D. Why written language is reliable.
33. What does the author indicate by mentioning Captain Cook in paragraph 2?
A. His report was scientific. B. He represented the local people.
C. He ruled over Botany Bay. D. His record was one-sided.
34. What does the underlined word “conversation” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Problem. B. History. C. Voice. D. Society.
35. Which of the following books is the text most likely selected from?
A. How Maps Tell Stories of the World B. A Short History of Australia
C. A History of the World in 100 Objects D. How Art Works Tell Stories

Indoor plants might look as if they just sit around not doing much, but in many ways they are the unsung heroes of the home. 36 , but studies have shown that they can promote people’s wellbeing by improving their mood (心情), reducing stress and helping their memory. What’s more, indoor plants are easy to look after and are not very expensive.
What are indoor plants?
Indoor plants, also known as houseplants or pot plants, are plants that like to grow indoors. Many of these species (物种) are not ideally suited to growing outside in the UK, especially in the winter. 37 .
Why are indoor plants good for you?
Will Spoelstra, who works at the Royal Botanic Gardens, says, “ 38 . I find during the winter months, plants around the house can really lift your mood.” Several studies have backed this up and found that indoor plants can improve creativity, focus and memory. There is also research showing that pot plants can clean the air around them by removing harmful gases, such as carbon dioxide. They also remove some harmful chemicals from paints or cooking. 39 .
Which plants can you grow?
Aloe vera, peace lilies and spider plants are some of the species that are easy to grow indoors. You can buy plants from supermarkets, garden centres or online. Younger plants are often cheaper than fully grown ones, and you get to care for them as they mature — which is part of the joy of owning plants. “ 40 ,” Spoelstra says. “It can bring a new interest and focus into people’s lives and help to make the link between home and nature.”
A. All plants are different
B. Not only do they look beautiful
C. There are many benefits to growing plants indoors
D. Instead, they grow better inside, where it is warmer
E. Plants like peace lilies and devil’s ivy are among the best
F. Changing the pot of your plant from time to time will also help
G. Learning about the requirements of each plant can be very rewarding

B 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一名专业的风景摄影师的生活和拍照经历。
24. B 细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知,“挑战”源于地貌多样性的缺失。再根据第二段中的“I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures ...”可知,作者应对这个挑战的方法就是和朋友们去州立公园或乡村拍摄。故选B。
25. A 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography.”以及最后一段的拍摄经历可推知,作者认为合理管理时间是风景摄影成功的关键。故选A。
26. C 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容尤其是倒数第三句“However, we did not mark the route (路线) so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely.”可知,作者和朋友们在去德维尔湖的旅行中,由于没有标记路线,他们差点完全错过了日落。由此可推知,他们到达拍摄地点比预期的晚。故选C。
27. B 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots ...”可推知,作者对在德维尔湖拍摄的照片还是很满意的。故选B。
C 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了电视烹饪节目对英国人烹饪习惯和观念的影响。
28. A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“What comes into your mind when you think of British food? ... But is British food really so uninteresting?”可知,说起英国食物,人们往往想到炸鱼和薯条,或者是一荤两素的周日晚餐,但英国食物真的如此无趣吗?由此可推知,人们通常认为英国食物简单而平淡。故选A。
29. D 推理判断题。根据第二段内容尤其是最后一句“It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking.”可知,电视节目似乎已经改变了人们对烹饪的看法。再根据最后一段提到的研究发现可知,电视烹饪节目改变了一部分英国人的饮食习惯、烹饪习惯以及对烹饪的态度。由此可推知,英国电视烹饪节目对英国的饮食和烹饪习惯有很大影响力。故选D。

D 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了要客观公平地讲述历史,我们不仅仅需要文字资料,也需要实物史料加以佐证。
32. A 段落大意题。根据第一段内容可知,该段主要阐述了客观公平地讲述历史仅仅通过文字资料是不可行的,因为世界上大多数地区在很长一段时间内都没有文字,文字是后来才出现的,而且即使有文字的地区也会用实物来记录重要的事情。因此,除文字外,我们还需要实物史料来讲述历史。故选A。
33. D 推理判断题。第二段引用库克船长和澳大利亚原住民之间的第一次冲突作为有文字记录和无文字记录的历史的例子。英国一方有库克船长对那个糟糕的日子的记录;而澳大利亚方面只有一个木盾。由此可推知,仅用文字记录的历史可能是片面的。故选D。
34. B 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文可知,有些胜利是偶然或故意被歪曲了的,尤其是当只有获胜一方有文字记载能力的时候,而失败一方只能通过实物讲述他们的故事。在这种情况下,文字记载只是其中一方对历史的讲述。这犹如一场双方的对话,现在我们只能看到其中一方所讲述的内容。再结合画线词所在句可知,如果我们想找到另一半对话的内容,就需要找到相关的实物,所以作者用conversation指代“历史”。故选B。
35. C 文章出处题。通读全文,尤其根据第一段最后一句“Writing is one of humanity’s later achievements ... recorded their concerns not only in writing but in things.”、第二段第一句“Ideally a history would bring together texts and objects, and some chapters of this book are able to do just that”及最后一段最后一句“If we are to find the other half of that conversation, we have to read not just the texts, but the objects.”可知,本文强调了实物对于解读历史的重要性。由此推知,文章有可能选自《100件物品中的世界史》。故选C。
第二节
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了什么是室内植物、为什么室内植物对你有益以及你能种哪些室内植物。

37. D 根据空前的“Many of these species (物种) are not ideally suited to growing outside in the UK, especially in the winter.”可知,有些植物不适合在户外寒冷的环境中生长。D项“相反,他们在温暖的室内生长得更好”承接上文,符合语境。故选D。
38. C 根据本段小标题“Why are indoor plants good for you?”可知,本段解释了室内植物对你有益处的原因。再根据空后“I find during the winter months, plants around the house can really lift your mood.”可知,作者发现在冬天的几个月里,房子周围的植物真的能改善你的情绪。结合选项可知,C项“在室内种植植物有很多好处”与段落标题内容一致,且与下文衔接紧密。故选C。
39. E 根据空前的“There is also research showing that pot plants can clean the air ... remove some harmful chemicals from paints or cooking.”可知,盆栽植物能够去除有害物质。E项“像和平百合和魔鬼常春藤之类的植物是最好的”列举了此类盆栽植物中最好的两个例子,承接上文,符合语境。故选E。
40. G 根据空后的“It can bring a new interest and focus into people’s lives and help to make the link between home and nature.”可知,“它”可以为人们的生活带来新的兴趣和焦点,并有助于建立家庭与自然之间的联系。“It”指代空处所在的句子。因此,G项“了解每种植物的需求是非常有益的”承上启下,符合语境。故选G。

第二节
本文是一篇说明文。文章描绘了作者作为一名摄影师,通过拍照来记录北京这座古老与现代融合的城市。文章通过作者的视角,说明了这座城市如何在保护过去的同时,迎接现代世界的发展,古老的佛教寺庙、博物馆和皇宫与21世纪的建筑奇观并存,形成了独特的视觉反差。
61. to 考查介词。空处所在部分与其前面的“From Buddhist temples to museums”结构并列,均由from ... to ...连接(narrow前省略了from)。故填to。
62. built 考查非谓语动词。空处位于副词carefully后以及名词system前,且system和build为逻辑上的动宾关系,应用build的过去分词形式作定语,修饰system。故填built。
63. that/which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,该处引导定语从句并在从句中作主语,先行词为a place,应用指代物的关系代词that/which。故填that/which。
64. wonders 考查名词的复数。本句中的wonder前有形容词architectural修饰,作名词,意为“奇观”,是可数名词,应用复数形式。故填wonders。
65. yet/but 考查连词。空处前的“a distinct visual contrast (反差) that shouldn’t work”与空处后的“these two very different worlds make a good combination”构成转折关系,此处应用转折连词。故填yet/but。
66. Having visited 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,该处应填非谓语。逻辑主语I和visit是主动关系,再根据时间状语“several times over the last 10 years”及句意可知,该处动作是先于主句发生的动作,应用非谓语中having done的形式。故填Having visited。
67. was amazed 考查动词的时态和语态。根据空后的介词by可知,主语I与动词amaze之间为被动关系,再根据该句中的“was able to”可知,此处应用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was amazed。

69. remarkable 考查词性转换。该空前有定冠词the,空后有名词development,应用remark的形容词形式remarkable(显著的;非凡的)作定语,修饰development。故填remarkable。

第四部分 写作
第一节 短文改错
本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者的妈妈自己染发的故事。
第一处(第一句):his→her 考查代词。句意:上周五,我妈妈决定染头发。结合句意及下文语境可知,此处指“我妈妈染她的头发”。故将his改为her。
第二处(第二句):去掉with 考查动词。句意:她研究了药店里所有的染发产品。study是及物动词,后面直接接宾语,介词with多余。故删除with。
第三处(第三句):choose→chose 考查动词的时态。句意:她选的颜色装在一个盒子里,盒子里有一张女人的照片,那个女人的头发颜色看起来非常完美。根据上下文时态可知,文章讲述的是发生在过去的事情,choose应用一般过去式。故将choose改为chose。
第四处(第三句):that→whose 考查定语从句。句意同上。分析句子结构可知,此处是限制性定语从句,先行词是woman,关系词在从句中作hair的定语,应用关系代词whose引导。故将that改为whose。
第五处(第四句):在same前加the 考查冠词。句意:妈妈确信同样的颜色在她身上会很好看。same前常加定冠词the,表示“同样的,相同的”。故在same前加the。
第六处(第五句):or→and 考查连词。句意:她把头发染成新的颜色,然后静静地坐了30分钟,就像说明书上说的那样。分析句子结构并结合句意可知,此处是顺承关系,而不是选择关系。故将or改为and。
第七处(第五句):saying→said 考查谓语动词。句意同上。分析句子结构可知,as引导方式状语从句,此处应用谓语动词,且句子陈述过去发生的事情,动词应用一般过去式。故将saying改为said。
第八处(第六句):final→finally 考查词性转换。句意:然而,她最终得到的不是她所希望的棕红色头发,而是紫色的头发。分析句子结构可知,此处修饰动词应用副词。故将final改为finally。
第九处(第七句):washing→wash 考查非谓语动词。句意:她直接走进淋浴间去洗头发,但是没有用。分析句子结构并结合句意可知,此处为不定式作目的状语,应用to do结构。故将washing改为wash。
第十处(第八句):truth→true 考查词性转换。句意:至少有一件事被证明是正确的:这种颜色洗不掉。这里考查prove作系动词的用法,意为“证明是;被发现是”,后可接名词、形容词和动词不定式,用来说明主语的身份、性质、特征或状态等。prove true表示“(某事)证明是真实的、正确的”。故将truth改为true。
第二节 书面表达
Learn a new skill The new skill I acquired was skating. The process is challenging but productive.
Initially, on watching the Winter Olympics Games in Beijing, I became enthusiastic about skating. From then on, I was determined to master this fascinating sport. However, at the very beginning, when I stepped on the ice, I stumbled over myself. Hard as I strive, I still fell over again and again. The moment I thought of the athletes on the field, I was inspired by their powerful spirits. Eventually, my persistence and painstaking efforts paid off. I can skate freely all by myself.
From the learning experience, I fully understand that only by diligent practicing can we overcome many kinds of difficulties. And eventually, we can have a good command of what we desire to learn.

W: Could you please tell me how I can get to the student dorm building?
M: Sure. Turn left when you walk out of this register office. Pass the bookstore and you’ll see it.
Text 2
M: We couldn’t ask for a better day, could we, Barbara?
W: I know, Steve. There isn’t a cloud in the sky. I love this time of year.
M: Me too. The flowers are beautiful. A calling for rain though.

M: We got any plans this weekend?
W: We might start with our vegetable garden, then the barbecue.
M: Sounds fun, but I still want to go fishing with George.

M: Lisa, I saw Jack this morning.
W: You mean the former designer of our company? What’s he doing these days?
M: He said he’s got a new job as an art reporter.

M: Thank you, Mrs. Johnson, for what you’ve shared with our listeners. Now, please tell us, do you sometimes feel worried about your daughter, now that she’s grown up?
W: Oh, I worry about her like all parents do. After she graduated from medical school, she went to volunteer medical service in Africa.
M: Wow!
W: That’s OK if communication was fine. But if there was no Internet or telephone connection, we could sometimes go two weeks without getting in touch with each other. That often worries me.

W: Now, sell yourself in a minute, please.
M: I graduated from university two years ago, and have since been working in an accounting company. Apart from the knowledge, skills related to my major, I’m really good with computers. I have a large amount of experience working with big data. I think I’m well qualified for the accountant position here.
W: Good! Why did you choose this company?
M: Peterson has been my dream company all along. You value progress and focus on the quality of work more than the quantity. The flexible working hours and working from home is also attractive.
W: Ah huh. What do you think is your biggest weakness?
M: Well, when I work, I often concentrate so much on what I’m doing that I may have a hard time dealing with things that come up unexpectedly. That may be annoying to some people.
W: All right. Thank you very much.
Text 9
W: So Robert, I guess you must be well into your third decade as a writer. How was life treating you?
M: Fourth decade as a writer. Hmm ... let me get my calculator out. Well, I guess I’ve been writing novels since the 1980s. So you’re right. But I have been writing all my life. And to answer your question, life has been treating me excellently.
W: Can I ask you about your childhood? Were you a bookish child?
M: In a strange way, I was a non-reader until I turned nine. I used to play basketball in the school yards of Brooklyn. My father was a high school teacher of physics and chemistry. And he was a big reader. He would bring books back from his high school library. One day, I read the last chapter of a book, the title of which I’ve long since forgotten. I liked it so much that I started reading the remainder. Interestingly, I read the chapters backwards until I got to the beginning. I really loved the experience. And I soon became an eager reader. Then my father would bring piles of books home from the library. And I would read them all, and they were all fiction. I must add that I started reading the books from the start as opposed to working backwards.
Text 10
M: Hello, I’m Maxim Vengerov, and I’m very happy to share with you my connection with open Tchaikovsky competition. It was June 1986 when I came to Moscow to participate in open Tchaikovsky competition at the age of 10 from Chelyabinsk. This was actually the turning point of my life. Then I attended a world music festival in Berlin. And it was interesting to say that a kid made his breakthrough already at the age of 10. And that was me. Now as a judge of the competition, I can see clearly the huge challenges facing the musicians in the competition. Where else can you see young players playing within ten days classical works and Russian traditional music before coming to the final stage? As a musician, it’s important to give maximum attention and time to your own reflections of your own feelings. So, what I’m really looking for in the competition is to meet someone who can touch me musically. I want to see the seed, at least the seed of the great tree that can grow. I would go for this violinist. I would go for this musician.
