It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic innature — that’s what accounted for all its hot springs andother steamy features. But Christiansen couldn’t find the Yellowstone volcanoanywhere.‎ Mostof us, when we talk about volcanoes, think of the classic cone(圆锥体) shapes of a Fuji orKilimanjaro, which are created when erupting magma(岩浆)piles up. These can form remarkably quickly. In 1943, aMexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land.In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high. Withintwo years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more thanhalf a mile across. Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoeson Earth,all but a few hundred of them extinct. There is, however,a second less known type of volcano that doesn’tinvolve mountain building. These are volcanoes so explosive that they burstopen in a single big crack, leaving behind a vasthole, the caldera. Yellowstone ‎ obviously was of this second type, but Christiansen couldn’t find the caldera anywhere.‎ Justat this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by takingphotographs of Yellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copiesto the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-upfor one of the visitors’ centers. As soon as Christiansen saw the photos, he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera: almost thewhole park—2.2 million acres—was caldera. Theexplosion had left a hole more than forty miles across—muchtoo huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level. At some time in the pastYellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anythingknown to humans.‎ ‎58. What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone?‎ A. Its complicated geographical features.‎ B. Its ever-lasting influence on tourism.‎ C. The mysterious history of the park.‎ D. The exact location of the volcano.‎ ‎59. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?‎ A. The shapes of volcanoes.‎ B. The impacts of volcanoes.‎ C. The activities of volcanoes.‎ D. The heights of volcanoes.‎ ‎60. What does the underlined word “blow-up” in the last paragraph mostprobably mean?‎ A. Hot-air balloon.                                                       B.Digital camera.‎ C. Big photograph.                                                      D.Bird’s view.‎ ‎【答案】58.D    59. A    60. C ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了二十世纪六十年代Bob Christiansen在研究黄石公园的火山历史时，奇怪地发现到处看不到火山的影子，原来，这儿的火山并不是像我们大部分人想象的那种圆锥体形状的高耸的样子，而是一个巨大的洞，这个洞太大了以至于从地面上的任何地方都看不见。‎ ‎【58题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句But Christiansen couldn’t find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.可知，他困惑的是在黄石公园找不到火山。故选D。‎ ‎【59题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。本段讲述了两种形状火山，一种是通常人们所理解的由火山岩浆堆积形成的圆锥体，还有一种极具爆发力的火山，它们会在一个大裂缝中爆裂，留下一个巨大的洞，故选A。‎ ‎【60题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句Just at this time NASAdecided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs ofYellowstone. A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the parkauthorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one ofthe visitors’centers.可知，美国国家航空航天局为测试一些新的高海拔照相机而拍摄了黄石公园的照片。一位深思熟虑的官员把其中的一些照片副本转交给了公园管理部门，认为他们可能会将其放大以供一个游客中心展示。根据常识可知，游客中心的照片一般都很大，以吸引游客的注意，故此处意为“将照片放大”，选C。‎ ‎ ‎ C Whocares if people think wrongly that the internet has had more importantinfluences than the washing machine? Why does it matter that people are moreimpressed by the most recent changes?‎ Itwould not matter if these misjudgments were just a matter of people’s opinions.However, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use of scarceresources.‎ Thefascination with the ICT(Information and Communication Technology) revolution,represented by the internet, has made ‎ some rich countries wrongly conclude thatmaking things is so “yesterday” that they should try to live on ideas. Thisbelief in “post-industrial society” has led those countries to neglect theirmanufacturing sector(制造业), with negative consequences for theireconomies.‎ Evenmore worryingly, the fascination with the internet by people in rich countrieshas moved the international community to worry about the “digital divide”between the rich countries and the poor countries. This has led companies andindividuals to donate money to developing countries to buy computer equipmentand internet facilities. The question, however, is whether this is what thedeveloping countries need the most. Perhaps giving money for those lessfashionable things such as digging wells, extending electricity networks andmaking more affordable washing machines would have improved people’s lives morethan giving every child a laptop computer or setting up internet centres inrural villages, I am not saying that those things are necessarily moreimportant, but many donators have rushed into fancy programmes withoutcarefully assessing the relative long-term costs and benefits of alternativeuses of their money.‎ Inyet another example, a fascination with the new has led people to believe thatthe recent changes in the technologies of communications and transportation areso revolutionary that now we live in a “borderless world”. As a result, in thelast twenty years or so, many people have come to believe that whatever changeis happening today is the result of great technological progress, going againstwhich will be like trying to turn the clock back. Believing in such a world,many governments have put an end to some of the very necessary regulations oncross-border flows of capital, labour and goods, with poor results.‎ Understandingtechnological trends is very important for correctly designing economic policies,both at the national and the international levels, and for making the rightcareer choices at the individual level.

But Steve pressed on, playing for the first time in hislife for a stranger.‎ ‎“Itwas beautiful.” Naomi said after listening to the recording. “The music wasworth saving.”‎ Herresponsibility, her privilege, would be to rescue it. The music was still inSteve Goodwin. It was hidden in rooms with doors about to be locked.‎ Naomiand Steve met every other week and spent hours together.

He stood by the piano, eyes closed, listening forthe first time to his own work being played by someone else.‎ Steveand Naomi spoke in musical code lines, beats, intervals, moving from the rootto end a song in a new key.

It seems obvious that evolution shouldselect for larger brains. Mammals(哺乳动物) weighing sixtykilograms have an average brain size of 200 cm2. Modern man has abrain averaging 1200-1400 cm2. We are so fond of our highintelligence that we assume that when it comes to brain power, more must bebetter. Unfortunately, that is not the case.‎ Thefact is that a huge brain is a huge drain—consumptionof energy—on the body. It’s not easy to carry around, especiallywhen boxed inside a massive skull(倾骨). It’s even harder toprovide energy. In modern man, the brain accounts for about 2-3% of total bodyweight, but it consumes 25% of the body’s energy when the body is at rest. Bycomparison, the brains of apes(类人猿) require only 8% of rest-time energy. Earlyhumans paid for their large brains in two ways. Firstly, they spent more timein search ‎ of food. Secondly, their muscles grew smaller and weaker. It’s hardlyan obvious conclusion that this is a good way to survive. A chimpanzee(黑猩猩)can’t win an argument with a modern man, but it can tear the man apart like arag doll.‎ Anotherunique human characteristic is that we walk upright. Standing up, it’s easierto find food or enemies. In addition, their arms that are unnecessary formoving around are freed for other purposes, like throwing stones or signaling.As a result, humans can perform very complex tasks with their hands.‎ Yetwalking upright has its disadvantage. The bone structure of our ancestorsdeveloped for millions of years to support a creature that walked on all foursand has a relatively small head. Adjusting to an upright position was quite achallenge, especially when the bones had to support an extra-large skull.Humankind paid for its broad vision and skillful hands backaches and painfulnecks.‎ Weassume that a large brain makes huge advantages. It seems obvious that thesehave made humankind the most powerful animal on earth. But humans enjoyed allof these advantages for a full 2 million years during which they remained weakand marginal creatures. Thus humans who lived a million ‎ years ago, despitetheir big brains and sharp stone tools, lived in constant fear of meat-eatinganimals.‎ ‎  ‎ ‎【答案】71.characteristics   ‎ ‎72. disadvantages   ‎ ‎73. energy    74. impact(s)   ‎ ‎75. guard    76. other   ‎ ‎77. limits    78. physical   ‎ ‎79. beat    80. fearful/afraid ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明人用大脑思考的代价。人类与动物相比有两大特点：大大的大脑和直立行走。超大的大脑使人类拥有更高的智商，但却消耗巨大的能量。直立行走让人类擅长寻找食物和抵御敌人，解放了的双手来更复杂的事。但却让人类遭受腰痛和颈部疼痛等。虽然有这些缺点，但仍然使人类成为地球上最强大的动物。‎ 第五部分: 书面表达(满分25 分)‎ ‎81.请阅读下面文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。‎ Li Jiang: Have you heard this? A group of exchange students from the UK are visiting our schoolnext month.‎ Su Hua: Yes, Ihave.

It’s anopportunity to make the Chinese culture better known to international students.‎ Su Hua: I agree. But we don’t have to dress thatway. That’s not our daily style. Besides, it’snot very convenient.‎ Li Jiang: You see, it’s the Chinese culture thatthe British friends are coming for. Just the right occasion.‎ Su Hua: I prefer the school uniform.

Li recommends the traditionalChinese dress while Su prefers the school uniform.‎ I would be happy to wear traditional Chineseclothes at the welcome ceremony. Firstly, this is precisely what the Britishvisitors are expecting. They come to learn about Chinese culture with their owneyes. Their Chinese peers in the typical Chinese dress would be highlyimpressive. The school uniforms are fine, but not special enough to give aunique Chinese flavour. Secondly, the inconvenience is not a problem if ourpurpose is to share Chinese culture. It is just the so-called inconveniencethat displays the richness, delicacy and great fascination of Chinese culturewith a history of thousands of years.‎ The traditional Chinese clothes, it seems to me,will make the occasion very Chinese and inviting to the British guests.‎ Possible version two:‎ Li Jiang and Su Hua don't agree on what to wear whengreeting the British students. Li suggests traditional Chinese clothes while Suthinks the school uniforms are more suitable.‎ I prefer the school uniform to the traditionalChinese dress at the welcome ceremony next month. Although the traditional Chinesedress may look more beautiful and stylish, it is a little bit strange to walkaround in it. We feel at ease in our school uniforms every day. What's more,the traditional Chinese dress can't reflect the unique culture of our school.From the design and colour of our uniforms, the British friends will learn moreabout our school. Besides, the choice of the traditional Chinese dress meansextra money, and extra time, for we have to change it back after the event.‎ So the school uniforms are a better choice thanthe traditional Chinese dress for such an occasion.‎ ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是读写任务，今年的话题是关于中国传统服装的。‎ ‎【详解】读写任务首先要写好概括。概括短文的内容要点实为客观简要地转述作者的观点、论据和结论，概括包括两个部分：主题句和支撑句。概括注意要抓住要点，语言精练，不能添加自己的见解，但是要用自己的语言概括。‎ 第二段用恰当的过渡语引出自己的观点（反对或赞成）。过渡语起承上启下的作用，要显自然、连贯。提出自己的观点后要具体论证自己的观点。‎ 最后一段要总结观点，提出具体做法或号召，升华文章的主题。‎
