the
discovery
of
a
library
of
thousands
of
ancient
documents,the
caves
received
new
interest
from

推理判断题。根据第二段“In
the
1940s,many
researchers
and
artists...was
formed
to
protect
and
study
the
Mogao
Grottoes.”可知,20世纪40年代,许多研究人员和艺术家通过他们的努力,让人们了解了敦煌。由此推知,文章提及20世纪40年代的艺术家们是为了赞赏他们在传承莫高窟文化上的贡献。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ3.Whenpeoplehavenoaccesstovisitingthecaves,

limited
in

the
artwork.However,the
caves
can
be

form
so
that

B
解析
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章在第一段讲述了莫高窟重新获得人们关注的原因;第二段提及20世纪40年代的艺术家们在传承莫高窟文化上所做的努力,赞赏了他们的贡献;第三段讲述莫高窟被列为联合国世界文化遗产;第四段讲述了莫高窟的艺术价值。因此,本文主要介绍了沙漠中的艺术长廊——莫高窟。故选B项。ⅠⅡⅢⅣBTheRomanColosseum(罗马圆形大剧场),builtaroundtwothousandyearsago,surviveda14thcenturyearthquakeandmostofthe150-somefoothighbuildingisstillstanding.IthasseentheriseandfallofenormousstructuresaswellastheRomanEmpire.Whycouldtheancientstructurestandthetestoftimewhilemanymodernconstructionsfallapartafterafewdecades?ScientistsbelievetheancientRomansusedaspecificconcretewhichmayaccountforitssuper-longexistence.ⅠⅡⅢⅣPreviousdiscoverieshaveconfirmedthecomponentsoftheRomanconcrete:volcanicmaterial,limestone(石灰石)andwater.Architectssupposethevolcanicmaterialiswhatmakesthebuildingstrong.Butthisisnotenoughtoexplainthearchitecture’sdurability.AteamofresearchersrecentlydiscoveredamagicalpoweroftheRomanconcrete:self-healing.Andthekeyactuallyliesinthetinypiecesoflimestone.Worthmentioningisthatresearchershadtakenthemasimpurities(杂质)duetothelimitationofancienttechnology.ButitturnedoutthatancientRomansseemedtohavediscoveredthesecret.ⅠⅡⅢⅣWhentheRomansmadethemixture,theyheatedupthelimestonetoturnitintoquicklime,averyreactivechemical.Quicklimereactedwithwaterandproducedheatthatsetupachemicalfoundationtostrengthenthebuildingmaterial.Meanwhile,itwould“wear”ahard“shell”,forminglimestonepieces.Itwasthesepiecesthatstoppedthecracks(裂缝)frombecomingbigger.Whentherewasrain,thepiecesreactedwithwateragain,quicklyfillingthecracks.FormaterialscientistAinissaRamirez,thisnewunderstandingofancientRomanconcreteisawelcomediscovery.“Thisisonewaythatthematerialcanbegreener,”saysRamirez,“TheRomansmadethematerial.Wehadtokindoffigureouthowtheydiditsothatwecanmakebettermaterials—andthen,youknow,inturn,bebetterguardsofourenvironment.”ⅠⅡⅢⅣ【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了罗马斗兽场,它建于大约两千年前,在14世纪的一场地震中幸存下来,大部分150多英尺高的建筑仍然屹立不倒。它见证了巨大建筑和罗马帝国的兴衰。为什么古代建筑能经受住时间的考验,而许多现代建筑在几十年后就倒塌了?科学家认为,古罗马人使用了一种特殊的混凝土,这可能是它长久存在的原因。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ5.WhycouldRomanColosseumstillexistaccordingtothetext?A.Itwasrebuiltconstantly.B.Itmetfewnaturaldisasters.C.Itcontainedaspecialmaterial.D.Itsshapeincreasedthestability.答案
C
解析
细节理解题。根据第一段的“Scientists
believe
the
ancient
Romans
used
a
specific
concrete
which
may
account
for
its
super-long
existence.”可知,罗马斗兽场还能存在的原因是它含有一种特殊的材料。故选C项。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ6.Whatisthefunctionofthelimestonepieces?A.Topurifytheconcrete.B.Toreactwithvolcanicmaterial.C.Tomakethestructurewater-proof.D.Toenablethebuildingtorepairitself.答案
D
解析
细节理解题。根据第二段的“A
team
of
researchers
recently
discovered
a
magical
power
of
the
Roman
concrete:self-healing.And
the
key
actually
lies
in
the
tiny
pieces
of
limestone.”可知,石灰石的功能是使建筑能够自我修复。故选D项。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ7.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“it”inparagraph3referto?A.Therainwater.
B.Thefoundation.C.Thequicklime. D.Thelimestone.答案
C
解析
词义猜测题。根据第三段的“Quicklime
reacted
with
water
and
produced
heat
that
set
up
a
chemical
foundation
to
strengthen
the
building
material.”以及画线单词所在句中的“Meanwhile”可知,画线单词it指的就是上文提到的生石灰。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ8.WhatcanbeinferredfromAinissaRamirez’swords?A.Architectscangetinspirationfromancientstructures.B.TheRomans’buildingmethodremainsasecrettillnow.C.Romans’wisdomthrowslightoneco-friendlyarchitecture.D.Scientistsareexploringhowtoguardtheancientcivilization.答案
C

how
they
did
it
so
that
we
can
make
better
materials—and
then,you

Ramirez的话中我们可以推断出罗马人的智慧为环保建筑提供了启示。Ⅱ.七选五ⅠⅡⅢⅣNew

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了越南武广国家公园及其里面新物种的相关情况。1.B
由下文“It
is
in
an
area
that
is
hard
to
get
to,for
one
thing.And
it’s
an
area
that’s
difficult
to
walk
through
because
the
rocks
are
covered
with
algae
and
are
very
slippery.”和普通公园易到达的常识可知,武广国家公园难以到达,和普通公园不一样,B项“然而,武广不是一个普通的公园”切合语境。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ2.D
由上文“It
is
in
an
area
that
is
hard
to
get
to,for
one
thing.And
it’s
an
area
that’s
difficult
to
walk
through
because
the
rocks
are
covered
with
algae
and
are
very
slippery.”可知,武广国家公园难以到达,不同寻常,下文“In
the
last
twenty
years,several
new
species
of
animals
that
have
never
been
seen
anywhere
in
the
world
before
have
been
discovered
there.Some
of
them
are
so
new
that
scientists
haven’t
given
them
official
names
yet!”介绍武广国家公园里面发现了一些闻所未闻的新物种,这也是不同寻常之处,由此可知,该空应该进一步提及武广国家公园的不平凡之处。D项“但这并不是武广国家公园的全部不同寻常之处”切合语境。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ3.E
由上文“The
new
animals
discovered
at
the
park
include
the
Vu
Quang
ox
or
Saola,a
‘slow’deer,a
giant
muntjac
(the
world’s
largest,in
fact),a
black
deer
and
a
‘holy’goat.”和下文“as
well
as
two
species
of
amphibians
and
15
species
of
reptiles”可知,该空和上下文列举了武广国家公园里面发现的新物种,E项“在那里还发现了五种新的鱼类”切合语境。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ4.G
由上文“The
Saola
was
the
first
new
species
of
large
mammal
to
be
discovered
in
more
than
fifty
years,so
it
caused
a
lot
of
excitement
in
the
scientific
world.It
is
a
strange
goat-like
creature
that
looks
as
if
it
is
somehow
related
to
cattle.It
has
horns
that
can
be
between
one
and
two
feet
long,and
that
seem
to
come
out
of
the
animal’s
head
at
slightly
different
angles.”可知,此段对Saola的外貌进行描述,故该空应承接上文继续介绍Saola的相关情况,G项“这就是为什么它被称为‘Saola’,在越南语中的意思是‘纺车桩’”切合语境。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ5.C
由上文“The
creature
had
hidden
safely
for
generations
in
the
Vu
Quang
area.But
once
it
was
discovered,it
was
in
danger.”和下文“Sadly,the
Saola
is
now
being
hunted
and
may
well
end
up
as
another
endangered
species.”可知,Saola处于危险之中,空格处和下文构成因果关系,正是因为猎人不尊重新物种,Saola才会被猎杀,C项“猎人不尊重新物种”切合语境。Ⅲ.语法填空ⅠⅡⅢⅣHuizhouenjoysatime-honoredhistory.In2000,XidiandthenearbyHongcunvillageweredeclaredWorldHeritagesitesbyUNESCOfortheiroutstandingpreservationofruralarchitecture1.

toⅠⅡⅢⅣ答案及解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。由于对明清时期乡村建筑的出色保存,西递和附近的宏村被联合国教科文组织宣布为世界遗产,文章对其具有历史特色的乡村建筑进行了介绍。1.dating
考查非谓语动词。句意:2000年,因为对明清时期乡村建筑的出色保存,西递和附近的宏村被联合国教科文组织宣布为世界遗产。date
back意为“追溯到”,和逻辑主语architecture构成主动关系,所以应用现在分词形式作后置定语。故填dating。2.allowing
考查非谓语动词。句意:此外,徽州房屋重视日光,这体现在开放的室内庭院的建筑上,这可以让阳光进入房间。动词allow意为“允许”,和逻辑主语“open
interior
courtyards”构成主动关系,所以应用现在分词形式。故填allowing。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ3.and
考查连词。句意:现在,走在那里的青石街道上,游客可以欣赏到独特的徽州风格的房子,白墙、黑瓦、分层的马头屋顶,感觉自己沉浸在一幅传统的中国水墨画中。“can
appreciate”和“feel
like”构成并列关系,故填and。4.symbolic
考查词性转换。句意:16世纪,为纪念明朝官员胡文光,西递村入口处有一座象征性的牌坊,胡文光出生于西递村,为当地的教育和生计做出了巨大贡献。此处作定语应用形容词。故填symbolic。5.was
built
考查一般过去时的被动语态和主谓一致。根据“in
the
16th
century”可知,此处应用一般过去时。动词build意为“建立”,和主语构成被动关系。主语paifang为第三人称单数。故填was
built。ⅠⅡⅢⅣ6.a
考查冠词。official意为“官员”,为可数名词,此处“Ming
Dynasty
official”为第一次出现,所以应用不定冠词表示泛指。Ming的开头发音为辅音,故填a。7.contributions
考查名词复数。make
contributions
to意为“对……做出贡献”,故填contributions。8.being
preserved
考查非谓语动词。句意:正是当地人希望保护当地历史特色的愿望,使得这些建筑得以保存至今。lead
