A.TheWaitangipeopleB.EuropeansettlementsC.ThelocalpeopleD.ThesigningoftheTreatyofWaitangi答案:D解析:细节理解题。根据原文第一段最后一句话“...andsigningoftheTreatyofWaitangi,whichcreatedNewZealandasitistoday.”可知D项正确。准确理解which的指代是正确解答此题的关键。27Thesecondandthirdparagraphsmainlytalkabout.A.amuseum B.MaoriWakaC.theMaoriculture D.NewZealandhistory答案:A解析:主旨大意题。作者在第二段第一句中点明了他要写的重点“...thereisafantasticmuseum...”,第二段写的是在博物馆中的所见,第三段写的是参观后的所想。28HowdidtheauthorunderstandtheMaoriculture?A.Byvisitingalocalmuseum.B.ByexperiencingtheMaorilife.C.Byvisitingthelocalvillages.D.Bybeingintroduced.答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据原文第三段可知,作者和同行人员通过“traveledthroughthecountry”即游览当地的村庄来理解毛利人文化,故选C项。C(2015·课标全国高考Ⅰ)ThefreezingNortheasthasn’tbeenaterriblyfunplacetospendtimethiswinter,sowhenthechancecameforaweekendtoSarasota,Florida,mybagswerepackedbeforeyoucouldsay“sunshine”.IleftforthelandofwarmthandvitaminC(维生素C),thinkingofbeachesandorangetrees.Whenwetoucheddowntoblueskiesandwarmair,Isentupasmallprayerofgratefulness.Swimmingpools,winetasting,andpinksunsets(atnormaleveninghours,not4intheafternoon)filledtheweekend,butthebestpart—particularlytomytaste,dulledbymonthsofcoldweatherrootvegetables—wasa7a.m.adventuretotheSarasotafarmers’marketthatprovedtobemorethanworththeearlywakeupcall.Themarket,whichwasfoundedin1979,setsupitstentseverySaturdayfrom7a.m.to1p.m.,rainorshine,alongNorthLemonandStatestreets.Basketsofperfectredstrawberries;theredpaintedsidesoftheJavaDawgcoffeetruck;andmostofall,thetomatoes:amazing,large,softandroundredtomatoes.Disappointedbymanyabroken,vineripened(蔓上成熟的)promise,I’verefusedtobuywintertomatoesforyears.Nomatterhowattractivetheylookinthestore,onceIgetthemhomethey’reunfailinglydry,hard,andtasteless.ButIhomedin,withuncertainty,ononeparticulartableattheBrown’sGroveFarm’sstand,fulloffreshandsofttomatoesthesizeofmyfist.Theseweretherealdeal—andatthatmoment,IrealizedthatthebestpartofSarasotainwinterwasgoingtobeeatingthingsthatbackhomeinNewYorkIwouldn’tbeexperiencingagainformonths.DelightedasIwasbythetomatoesinsight,myhappinessdeepenedwhenIlearnedthatBrown’sGroveFarmisoneofthesuppliersforJackDusty,anewlyopenedrestaurantattheSarasotaRitzCarlton,where—luckilyforme—Iwasplanningtohavedinnerthatverynight.Withoutevenseeingthemenu,IknewI’dbeorderingeverytomatoonit.29WhatdidtheauthorthinkofherwinterlifeinNewYork?A.Exciting. B.Boring.C.Relaxing. D.Annoying.答案:B解析:推理判断题。根据第一段第一句内容可以推断出,对于作者来说,纽约的冬天是无聊的、乏味的,所以作者在周末迫不及待地来到佛罗里达的萨拉索塔。30Whatmadetheauthor’sgettingupearlyworthwhile?A.Havingaswim.B.Breathinginfreshair.C.Walkinginthemorningsun.D.Visitingalocalfarmers’market.答案:D解析:细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句内容可知,参观萨拉索塔农民的菜市场使作者大开眼界,并觉得早起是值得的。31WhatcanwelearnabouttomatoessoldinNewYorkinwinter?A.Theyaresoft. B.Theylooknice.C.Theytastegreat. D.Theyarejuicy.答案:B解析:推理判断题。根据第三段第二句内容可以推断出,纽约冬天卖的西红柿外表很好看,但是又干又硬,没有味道。32Whatwastheauthorgoingtodothatevening?A.Gotoafarm. B.Checkintoahotel.C.Eatinarestaurant. D.Buyfreshvegetables.答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知,晚上,作者打算去饭店吃饭,而那家饭店的食品供应者之一就是作者参观的菜市场。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。AreYouReadyforCollege?Beforeyousendinyourcollegeapplications,keepthisinmind:it’snotthenorm(准则)ineverycultureforstudentstogotocollegerightoutofhighschool.33Soifyoufindyourselfapplyingforcollegesimplybecauseit’sthethingtodoafterhighschool,thinkagain.Goingtocollegerightafterhighschoolmaybethenorminyourmunity,butit’snotthenormeverywhereanditmaynotbethebestdecisionforyou.

38A.WhichB.WhoseC.TheirD.Its答案:D解析:第一句话后面为句号,因此本句不可能是定语从句,从而排除A、B两项。又TheUnitedStates相对应的形容词性物主代词为Its而不是Their,从而排除C项(Their)。39A.by B.near C.to D.from答案:C解析:由上文的“tothenorth”可以推出墨西哥在美国南部也应该用to。40A.are B.is C.were D.was答案:B解析:本句讲的是通常情况,应用一般现在时,另主语虽以s结尾,但表示单数概念,故谓语应用单数。41A.people B.area C.size D.population答案:D解析:由后面的数字可推知,主语指的是“人口”,并非指“人们”“面积”和“尺寸”。42A.land B.state C.continent D.world答案:A解析:上文提到美国的地理位置,此处land强调疆域。state侧重一个国家的政权;continent“大洲”;world“世界”。43A.founding B.beinggivenC.having D.winning答案:D解析:由横线后的“itsindependencefromEngland”可以推知,应该是从英国的控制中赢得独立,即答案为winning。44A.One B.Some C.Each D.Every答案:C解析:one侧重数量的“一个”;some的意思是“一些;某些”;each的意思是“每一个”,可以和of连用;而every为形容词,不能单独使用。从上文看,句意为“在美国,国旗上每个州都由一颗星代表”,据此可排除A、B和D项。45A.star B.moon C.satellite D.planet答案:A解析:根据“Asthenation...ontheflag”一句可以推知,国旗上每颗星代表一个州。star“星”;moon“月亮”;satellite“卫星”;planet“行星”。46A.were B.was C.are D.is答案:A解析:句子的主语为allthestates,因此可把表示单数的was和is排除。再根据本段讲述的是美国的历史,因此时态为过去的时态,从而确定答案为were。47A.east B.north C.south D.west答案:D解析:上文提到最早的州都在东部,可以推出:国家逐渐地向西部发展,与theeasternpart形成比较。48A.disappeared B.appearedC.painted D.printed答案:B解析:根据上下文可以推出:每当有新的州加入,国旗上都要增添新的星。disappear“消失”;appear“出现”;paint“粉刷,画画”;print“印刷”。49A.least B.fewer C.more D.little答案:C解析:more除了译成“更多”之外,还有“又,另外的”之意,此时多置于数字的后面。此处表示“另外的两颗星”,与前面的48stars形成比较。50A.and B.between C.of D.for答案:C解析:of可以表示其前后的词或词组是同位关系,因此答案为C项。51A.American B.IndiansC.Englishman D.Frenchman答案:B解析:下文提到大多数美国人都是世界其他地方移民的后裔,因此可以推知只有印第安人才是唯一真正的美国人。52A.who B.those C.they D.whom答案:A解析:通过分析句子结构可知空格后为定语从句,修饰people,这里缺少一个关系代词,且该词在从句中充当主语,故用who。53A.in B.of C.on D.with答案:A解析:innumbers意为“大批地”,在结构上与first并列。54A.Europe B.Asia C.England D.Africa答案:C解析:由下文提到的美国的语言为什么是英语及它的文化习俗更有可能是英国的文化习俗等,可以知道Europe不对,因为欧洲不仅有英语,还有法语、德语等。55A.reason B.result C.condition D.situation答案:A解析:下文提到的“美国的语言和文化习俗与英国非常相似”的原因正是上文提到的“首次大批移居美国东海岸的人大多来自英国”。因此该空用reason,构成forthatreason(因为那个原因)。本句意思是“正是因为那个原因,美国的语言是英语,美国的文化习俗更像英国的文化习俗”。56A.with B.than C.for D.without答案:B解析:根据句子中的“morelike”可推知答案应为than。57A.other B.else C.others D.some答案:A解析:使用比较级时,在比较状语中应注意将自身排除在外;else在意义上相当于other,但else只能修饰不定式、代词和疑问代词。第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。TodayIstheBestDayWesatontheswingenjoyingthewarmsummerair,trulywithout58.careintheworld.Cody,my6yearoldnephewlaughed,asheswung59.(high)thanme.Hislaughmademesmile.
