An idea occurred to him. “Why not write to other people who need encouragement?”He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The p
12、rison minister replied, “Writing to the prisoners is acceptable, but your letters will not be answered.”Filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his letters.

14、 monitored and checked the prison mail.The letter said, “Please write on the best paper you can afford.

20、写信。26答案与解析:A主旨大意题。这是一篇记叙文, 文章中心体现在最后一段: 无论我们身处什么环境, 我们总有自己的长处, 并能找到方法去帮助那些需要鼓励和力量的人。选项A中的“Special Letters”体现了故事主人公的处境, “Encouragement”体现了故事主人公内心的力量。27答案与解析:B推理判断题。由第六段中的Your letters are passed from cell to cell until they literally fall to pieces! 可知, 故事主人公的信被从一个囚室传到另一个囚室, 直到碎成纸屑。可以推出故事主人公的信在犯人之间很受欢
21、迎。CMany people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile . But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896.That was eleven years after two Germans developed the worlds first automobile. Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a cars parts to the worker,
22、 instead of making the worker move to the parts. That is not true, either. Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford. What Henry Ford did was to use other peoples ideas and make them better. And he made the whole factory a moving production line. In the early days of the automobile,
23、almost every car maker raced his cars. It was the best way of gaining public notice. Henry Ford decided to build a racing car. Fords most famous race was his first one. It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.The race was in 1901, at a field near Detroit. All of the most famous c
24、ars had entered, but only two were left: the Wintons and Fords. The Winton was famous for its speed. Most people thought the race was over before it began.The Winton took an early lead. But halfway through the race, it began to lose power. Ford started to gain. And near the end of the race, he took
25、the lead. Ford won the race and defeated the Winton. His name appeared in newspapers and he became wellknown all over the United States. Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company. In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company.That_sale was the beginnin
26、g of Henry Fords dream. Ford said, “I will build a motor car for the great mass of people. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for. It will be built of the best materials. It will be built by the best men to be employed. And it will be built wi
27、th the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce. It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one.” The Model T was a car of that kind. It only cost $850.It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on. Doctors bought the Model T. So did farmers. Even
28、 criminals. They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation. Americans loved the Model T. They wrote stories and songs about it. Thousands of Model T were built in the first few years.28What do we know about Henry Ford from Paragraph 1?AHe made good use of ideas from others.BHe prod
29、uced the first car in the world.CHe knew how to improve auto parts.DHe invented the production line.29Why did Henry Ford take part in the 1901 car race?ATo show off his driving skills.BTo draw public attention.CTo learn about new technology.DTo raise money for his new company.30“That sale” in Paragr

AProducing cars for average customers.BBuilding racing cars of sim
31、ple design.CDesigning more car models.DStarting more companies.【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。讲述了亨利福特充分利用别人的想法, 生产出了自己的汽车, 形成了自己的生产流水线。通过赛车比赛使公众关注到自己的汽车, 然后他建立了汽车公司, 为普通顾客生产汽车。28A细节理解题。根据短文第一段倒数第二句话 “What Henry Ford did was to use other peoples ideas and make them better.”可知, 福特所做的就是利用别人的想法, 然后更好地利用。29B推理判断题。根据短文第二段中
32、的 “It was the best way of gaining public notice.”及全段可知, 开始时, 每个汽车制造者都开赛车, 并且这是引人注意的最好方法。因此亨利福特也制造自己的赛车, 进行比赛, 目的是引人注意。30C词义猜测题。由上一句“In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company.”可知, That sale指代的是医生买车这件事。31A推理判断题。由短文倒数第二段中的 “It will be so low in price that no man making good mon
33、ey will be unable to own one.”及最后一段中的 “The Model T was a car of that kind. It only cost $850.It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on. Doctors bought the Model T.

34、aus Littmann came across a great drawing, titled The Unending Attraction of Nature. The drawing, by Austrian artist and architect Max Peintner, displays a scene in which nature is so detached(分离) from the environment that it becomes just a small piece, preserved for amusement. Given that we are now
35、losing 18.7 million acres of forests each year, Peintners drawing was prescient, to say the least.“When I first saw the 1970/71 pencil drawing, I was fascinated. I knew that one day this work would be the starting point for a major art project in public space,” says Littmann.Now, decades later, Litt
36、mann has achieved the vision with the installation(移植) of FOR FOREST: The Unending Attraction of Nature. The installation sets a native central European forest in the middle of Wrthersee Football Stadium in Klagenfurt. With nearly 300 trees planted, some weighing up to six tons each, it is Austrias
37、largest public art installation.In the face of climate crisis and deforestation(毁林), FOR FOREST comes with a more pressing urgency. As explained in a statement about the installation: “In support of todays most pressing issues on climate change and deforestation, FOR FOREST aims to challenge our und
38、erstanding of nature and question its future. It seeks to become a memorial(纪念物), reminding us that nature, which we so often take for granted, may someday only be found in special spaces, as is already the case with animals in zoos.”The actual creation of the manmade forest was managed by landscape
39、 architect Enzo Enea and his company, Enea Landscape Architecture. It includes many kinds of trees. Having opened on September 8, one can imagine it already attracting surprised and happy creatures to the field. Regretfully, the installation will be closed soon. In a short video about the work, Litt
40、man says his goal was never to make something that would last forever; rather, he says, “My goal is for this picture to remain in peoples head for a lifetime.”32. What does the underlined word “prescient” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Able to affect the future.B. Able to last long enough.C. Able t
41、o draw much attention.D. Able to know what will happen.33. Why is the drawing The Unending Attraction of Nature described?A. To show it is one of Littmanns masterpieces.B.

43、st paragraph?A. It was made and managed by Littman.B. It wont last for a long time.C. It didnt attract much interest. D. It includes some special animals.32-35 DCDB【解析】32.词义猜测题。根据第一段的“.displays a scene in which nature is so detached from the environment that it becomes just a small piece, preserved
44、for amusement”可知,这幅画描绘了一幅自然与环境分离的景象,大自然只留下了供人们参观娱乐的这么一小块;再结合后面的“Given that we are now losing 18.7 million acres of forests each year”可知,在如今每年如此巨大的森林流失量的背景下,这幅画所描绘的景象可能就是对未来的预测。由此可判断此处意为:这幅画至少可以说是有先见之明的。故选D。33.推理判断题。根据第二段和第三段第一句可判断,文章介绍The Unending Attraction of Nature这幅画是因为它给了Littmann创作的灵感与启发。故选C。34
45、.推理判断题。根据第四段“In support of todays most pressing issues on climate change and deforestation.in zoos.”可知,其意义在于警示人们关注环境问题。故选D。35.细节理解题。文章最后一段提到“Regretfully, the installation will close soon”可知这个移植马上就要关闭了,故选B。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Why is volunteering important?Whe

47、sroom environment._37_ Giving back and helping others Volunteers create better environments for others; they create healthier communities and they brighten lives.

51、unteering allows you to experience different environments and situations.36-40 BGEDC 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。详细介绍了做志愿工作的好处,建议人们多参加各种志愿工作。36B根据文章接下来的四部分 “Gaining new social experience, Giving back and helping others, Creating connections with people, Developing a sense of achievement”可知,都是做志愿工作的好处和意义。本句应该是一个承
52、上启下的句子,表示志愿工作意义重大,B项“Volunteering means a lot more.”符合上下文语境。37G根据前一句“Volunteering allows students to get involved with new things and develop social and academic skills that couldnt be learned in a classroom environment.”可知,志愿工作会让学生参与到新的事情中学到在教室里学不到的知识。也就是说志愿工作可以让你体验不同的环境。G项“Volunteering allows you
53、to experience different environments and situations.”与上下文语境一致。38E根据后一句“They always tell me how great we sound and how they wish they had taken time to learn an instrument in their youth.”意为“他们总是告诉我这是多么好听,他们多么希望在年轻的时候也能够花时间学习音乐。”可知Jill是为社区的老人做音乐方面的志愿工作。E项“She volunteers by performing in concerts for
54、senior citizens.”与上下文语境一致。39D本段的主题是“Creating connections with people(志愿工作可以帮助我们与他人建立联系)”。根据后两句告诉我们志愿工作可以帮助别人了解你,也能展示出你的好品质,让你有机会接触各行各业的人。本句应该是本段的中心句,强调与他人建立良好的关系的重要性。D项“Building relationships with people is very important.”符合语境。40C根据本段最后两句 “Volunteer work makes us feel good. It builds selfconfidence
55、 and lifts up the spirits.”可知,志愿工作能够让我们自我感觉良好,增强自信心并振作起来,这些都有利于我们获得成就感。C项“Developing a sense of achievement”符合语境。第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。I sat in the guidance counselors office, wishing for the possibilities of college.
