Richard Dermer is a pizza shop owner. But he is better known for his hobby. As
a extraordinary kite collector, people are impressed by kites covering the walls from all over the world when they walk into his pizza shop.
Dermer worked at Hideaway. He bought the pizza shop in 1960. Then, in 1970, his game-partner and manager at Hideaway was the first to market the Japanese version of the game Go in the United States. It was this game that led Dermer to kites, and from there he took off—eventually becoming president of the American Kiefliers Association.
Dermer now has a huge kite collection. He told Collectors Weekly, “Initially, I was a novice, but I enjoyed learning, trying to acquire more about kites. And the more I got into kite festivals and collecting kites, the more I discovered and the deeper the subject became.”
What Dermer’s collection and hobby brings to the United States is an international perspective and history on kite flying. In India, for example, kite flying is a fierce, sometimes violent sport, while in Thailand, kite battles reflect the war of the sexes between men and women. Kites were used in World War II, to distract German planes and for target practice.
When Dermer started stunt kite (特技风筝), it was pretty new. All the kites were triangular, and they all looked the same. But soon with his efforts, that changed. People could see kites of all shapes, sizes and colors flying in the sky. During the 1980s and 1990s kites went through quite a developmental stage where they were getting better and better as new lighter, stronger materials were being developed. Dermer even set up the new rules for judging these stunt kite competitions, which take into account how much control the flier has, and the difficulty of the moves.
4. What is Richard Dermer’s occupation?
A. A plane pilot.
B. A food businessman.
C. A kite seller.
D. A sales manager.
5. What does the underlined word “novice” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Advanced person.
B. Learned person.
C. Inexperienced person.
D. Well-known person.
6. What can we learn about the kites from paragraph 4?
A. Kites are not popular in the USA.
B. Flying kites is illegal in Thailand.
C. Kites played a part in World War II.
D. Flying kites is an interesting sport in India.
7. With the efforts of Richard Dermer, kites became ________.
A. portable
B. diverse
C. available
D. delicate 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. B
【解析】

To me, Shakespeare is a bit of a touchy subject in the theatre industry. I believe Shakespeare’s plays to be the most challenging in terms of language. When you have challenging language, then understanding the plot and topics will become a challenge as well. It’s like a chain. If you don’t understand it from the start, it makes things hard later on and people tend to give up on it. Regardless of all of this, I believe Shakespeare is important in the sense that it’s where t rue theatre started. William Shakespeare is a name everyone knows regardless of whether you enjoy his works or not.
Many high schools or colleges put on at least one Shakespeare play every few years and I like that. I think it’s important to expose student s to plays that are a bit more challenging than they used to be. Of course. it’s not easy to understand these plays but then think about the people who act in those plays. When acting, you have to understand your character and not only that, you need to completely know everything going on around you as well. So to understand the script (剧本) is one thing. but to act in a Shakespeare play is a whole another thing. How about memorizing the lines? That’s one of the hardest things actors have to get through. It is such heightened language that it’s almost like learning a foreign language. Shakespeare is tough and that’s what I think I love it the most. The challenge is understanding. Once you have that then you have room to play with it.
Therefore, if people walked into a Shakespeare play with more of an open mind, their experience would be so much better. There is a large amount of exploration and discovery in his plays and the experience can be really satisfying. It’s hard stuff,
but it’s fascinating and we shou ld be embracing it.
8. What’s the biggest challenge in understanding Shakespeare’s plays?
A. The challenging language.
B. The variety of its topic.
C. The complicated plot.
D. The memorable characters.
9. What’s the author’s attitude towards putting on Shakespeare’s plays at colleges?
A. Critical.
B. Cautious.
C. Favorable.
D. Indifferent.
10. What does the text suggest people do when enjoying Shakespeare’s plays?
A. Act them out.
B. Remember the lines in them.
C. Learn Shakespeare’s language.
D. Enjoy them with an open mind.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. The characteristics of Shakespeare’s plays.
B. The plots and topics of Shakespeare’s plays.
C. The importance and way of enjoying Shakespeare’s plays.
D.The stress from performing Shakespeare’s pla ys. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. C 【解析】这是一篇议论文。作者在文章中指出莎士比亚的戏剧是非常重要的，是真正的戏剧的起点，作者支持在中学或大学每隔几年上演一出莎士比亚戏剧的做法，作者还建议当人们欣赏莎士比亚的戏剧时，以开放的心态欣赏它们。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中I believe Shakespeare’s plays to be the most challenging
in terms of language. When you have challenging language, then understanding the plot and topics will become a challenge as well.可知我认为莎士比亚的戏剧在语言上是最具挑战性的。当你的语言具有挑战性的时候，那么理解剧情和主题也将成为一种挑战。由此可知，理解莎士比亚戏剧最大的挑战是具有挑战性的语言。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中Many high schools or colleges put on at least one Shakespeare play every few years and I like that. I think it’s important to expose students to
plays that are a bit more challenging than they used to be.可知许多中学或大学每隔几年至少上演一出莎士比亚的戏剧，我很喜欢。我觉得让学生接触比他们过去接常触到的更有挑战性的戏剧很重要。由此可推知，作者对在大学上演莎士比亚的戏剧持支持态度。故选C。【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中Therefore, if people walked into a Shakespeare play with more of an open mind, their experience would be so much better.可知因此，如果人们带着更开放的心态走进莎士比亚的戏剧，他们的体验会更好。由此可知，这篇文章建议当人们欣赏莎士比亚的戏剧时，以开放的心态欣赏它们。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中Regardless of all of this, I believe Shakespeare is important in the sense that it’s where true theatre started. William Shakespeare is a name everyone knows regardless of whether you enjoy his works or not.可知不管这些，我相信莎士比亚的重要性在于它是真正的戏剧的起点。威廉·莎士比亚这个名字大家都知道，不管你喜不喜欢他的作品。以及最后一段中Therefore, if people walked into a Shakespeare play with more of an open mind, their experience would be so much better.可知因此，如果人们带着更开放的心态走进莎士比亚的戏剧，他们的体验会更好。结合作者在文章中指出莎士比亚的戏剧是非常重要的，是真正的戏剧的起点，作者支持在中学或大学每隔几年上演一出莎士比亚戏剧的做法，作者还建议当人们欣赏莎士比亚的戏剧时，以开放的心态欣赏它们。由此可知，这篇文章的主要内容是欣赏莎士比亚戏剧的重要性和方式。故选C。

Although air travel comes with jet lag, delays and awful food, it offers a brief digital detox—a precious few hours away from the wave of emails, messages and app announcements. But not anymore, In flight Wi-Fi is getting faster and cheaper, and is an increasingly common offering on budget and flagship airlines.
But how does in-flight Wi-Fi actually work? To simplify, there are two ways for an internet signal to reach your device when you’re up in the clouds. The first is via ground based mo bile broadband towers, which send signals up to the aircraft’s antennas (天线). As you travel into different sections of airspace, the plane automatically connects to signals from the nearest tower, so there is (in theory at least) no interruption to your In ternet. But if you’re passing over large areas of
water or particularly remote zones, connectivity can be an issue.
The second method uses satellite technology. Planes connect to satellites in space (35,000 km above the planet), which send and receive signals via receivers and transmitters. Information is transmitted to and from your smart phone via an antenna on the top of the aircraft. These are the same satellites that are used in television signals and weather forecasting. Information is passed between the ground and the plane via the satellite.
All of that technology is expensive. The costs are usually passed on to customers. Over half of the world’s aircraft will be equipped with in-flight Wi-Fi within the next few years. It is set to become a billion-dollar industry by 2020. In the near future you’ll need to find a better excuse than “Sorry I missed your message—I was on a plane”.
12. What sends signals up to the aircraft’s antennas?
A. Internet companies.
B. Ground-based receivers.
C. Budget and flagship airlines.
D. Ground-based mobile broadband towers.
13. Who will pay for the in-flight Wi-Fi technology in the end?
A. Aircraft passengers.
B. Satellite company.
C. Broadband towers.
D. The local government.
14. What can we infer about in-flight Wi-Fi from the last paragraph?
A. It serves every customer.
B. It has a bright future.
C. It develops very slow.
D. It’s a high-tech industry.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. How to Use In-flight Wi-Fi?
B. Why Only Some Airlines Have
In-flight Wi-Fi?
C. Why Is In-flight Wi-Fi Expensive?
D. How Wi-Fi Works on a Plane?
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。飞机上的Wi-Fi越来越快，越来越便宜，越来越多的廉价航空公司和旗舰航空公司都提供这种服务。但是飞机上的Wi-Fi是如何工作的呢？文章主要就飞机上的Wi-Fi
是如何工作的展开说明，指出飞机乘客会为机上Wi-Fi技术买单，且这项技术未来很有前景。【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中The first is via ground based mobile broadband towers, which send signals up to the aircraft’s antennas (天线).可知第一种是通过地面移动宽带发射塔，将信号发送到飞机的天线上。由此可知，是地面移动宽带塔向飞机的天线发送信号。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中All of that technology is expensive. The costs are usually passed on to customers.可知所有这些技术都很昂贵。成本通常转嫁给乘客。由此可知，最终飞机乘客会为机上Wi-Fi技术买单。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Over half of the world’s aircraft will be equipped with in-flight Wi-Fi within the next few years. It is set to become a billion-dollar industry by 2020.可知未来几年内，世界上超过一半的飞机将配备空中Wi-Fi。到2020年，它将成为一个价值十亿美元的产业。由此可推知，飞机上的Wi-Fi未来很有前景。故选B。【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中But how does in-flight Wi-Fi actually work? To simplify, there are two ways for an internet signal to reach your device when you’re up in the clouds.可知但是飞机上的Wi-Fi是如何工作的呢？简单地说，当你在云端时，有两种方式可以让互联网信号到达你的设备。结合文章主要说明了飞机上的Wi-Fi越来越快，越来越便宜，越来越多的廉价航空公司和旗舰航空公司都提供这种服务。但是飞机上的Wi-Fi是如何工作的呢？文章主要就飞机上的Wi-Fi是如何工作的展开说明，指出飞机乘客会为机上Wi-Fi技术买单，且这项技术未来很有前景。由此可知，D选项“Wi-Fi在飞机上是如何工作的？”最符合文章标题。故选D。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。
Trees are commonly cut down for wood and paper. ___16___. The unique chemical process that trees and plants use to turn light energy from the sun into oxygen is known as photosynthesis (光合作用).
___17___
The production of oxygen is a result of photosynthesis, but it is not the main purpose of this process. ___18___. Plants create their own food through photosynthesis. During this process, a plant’s roots absorb water from the ground, and its leaves take in light energy and carbon dioxide. The plant uses these elements to make fats and proteins that are then used to maintain the plant’s life.
The process of photosynthesis
The first step in photosynthesis is using the sun’s energy. During this process, chlorophyll (叶绿素) absorbs the light energy of the sun. The energy from the sun then acts upon the water absorbed by the roots of the plant. Carbon dioxide sent into the atmosphere by animals and humans is then absorbed by the plant’s leaves and paired with the hydrogen to produce sugar. The sugar is turned into plant food. ___19___. Threats to tree photosynthesis
___20___. Today, only about 30 percent of Earth’s land is covered in trees. This is contributing to global warming since trees are necessary to consume the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Experts believe planting trees is vital in order to ensure the preservation of the delicate balance that enables photosynthesis.
A. The purposes of photosynthesis
B. The advantages of photosynthesis
C. In fact, oxygen is simply a by product
D. It is also responsible for giving plants their green color
E. During this process, extra oxygen is produced and released
F. The trees that change carbon dioxide into oxygen are disappearing rapidly
G. But the greatest value of trees comes from their ability to turn the sun’s energy into chemical energy
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. C 19. E 20. F
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了树木除了被砍下来作为木材和纸张，其最大的价值在于它的光合作用，并且介绍了光合作用的目的、过程和树木消失对光合作用的威胁。
【16题详解】
根据上文Trees are commonly cut down for wood and paper.可知树木通常被砍下来作为木
材和纸张。以及后文The unique chemical process that trees and plants use to turn light energy from the sun into oxygen is known as photosynthesis (光合作用).可知树木和植物将太阳光转化为氧气的独特化学过程被称为光合作用。由此可知，本句承接上文说明，树木除了被砍下来作为木材和纸张，其最大的价值在于它的光合作用，可以把太阳的能量转化为化学能。故G选项“但是树木最大的价值在于它们能把太阳的能量转化为化学能”符合语境，故选G。
【17题详解】
本空为本段小标题，根据后文The production of oxygen is a result of photosynthesis, but it is not the main purpose of this process.可知氧气的产生是光合作用的结果，但这不是这个过程的主要目的。由此可知，本段主要在说明光合作用的目的。故A选项“光合作用的目的”适合作为小标题，故选A。
【18题详解】
根据后文Plants create their own food through photosynthesis. During this process, a plant’s roots absorb water from the ground, and its leaves take in light energy and carbon dioxide. The plant uses these elements to make fats and proteins that are then used to maintain the plant’s life.可知植物通过光合作用产生它们自己的食物。在这个过程中，植物的根从地面吸收水分，叶子吸收光能和二氧化碳。植物利用这些元素制造脂肪和蛋白质，然后用来维持植物的生命。由此可知，植物光合作用的主要目的是为了产生自己的食物，那么氧气实际上只是光合作用的一个副产品。故C选项“事实上，氧只是一个副产品”符合语境，故选C。
【19题详解】
本句为本段最后一句，有总结上文的作用，结合上文During this process, chlorophyll (叶绿素) absorbs the light energy of the sun. The energy from the sun then acts upon the water absorbed by the roots of the plant. Carbon dioxide sent into the atmosphere by animals and humans is then absorbed by the plant’s leaves and paired with the hydrogen to produce sugar. The sugar is turned into plant food.可知在这个过程中，叶绿素吸收太阳的光能。来自太阳的能量然后作用在植物根部吸收的水分上。动物和人类排放到大气中的二氧化碳被植物的叶子吸收，并与氢配对产生糖。糖被转化为植物的食物。由此可知，上文描述了光合作用的过程，且提到了二氧化碳被吸收，那么本句就应该提到在光合作用的过程中，才导致了氧气产生和释放。故E选项“在这个过程中，额外的氧气产生和
释放”符合语境，故选E。
【20题详解】
根据后文Today, only about 30 percent of Earth’s land is covered in tr ees. This is contributing to global warming since trees are necessary to consume the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.可知如今，地球上只有大约30%的土地被树木覆盖。这导致了全球变暖，因为树木是消耗大气中的二氧化碳的必需品。由此可知，本句是在说明将二氧化碳转化为氧气的树木正在迅速消失。故F选项“将二氧化碳转化为氧气的树木正在迅速消失”符合语境，故选F。

【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲的是关于地球日的一些事情，包括人们在地球日里常做的活动以及设立地球日在保护自然环境和生态以及减少污染方面的重大意义等。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意：4月24日是地球日50周年纪念日，地球日的创立被大多数人认为是现代环保运动的开始。分析句子结构可知，此句为定语从句，空格位于介词of后面，指代“Earth Day”，是物，介词 + 关系代词引导的定语从句，指物，只能用which。故填which。【37题详解】
考查名词。句意：4月24日是地球日50周年纪念日，地球日的创立被大多数人认为是现代环保运动的开始。空格前为定冠词，空格后为介词of，可推断空格应填名词；且the majority of+可数名词复数形式，意为“大多数……”，是固定搭配。故填majority。
【38题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：因此，人们制造的污染更少了，空气变得更干净了。空格前为系动词has become(已经变得），空格后为句号，结合句子前半部分提及“人们产生更少的污染”，提示句子涉及比较级，应用形容词比较级cleaner（更干净的）修饰主语the air(空气）。故填cleaner。
【39题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：雾霾停止笼罩新德里。stop doing sth意为“停止做某事”，此处应用动名词covering（覆盖），表示“新德里不再被雾霾笼罩”。故填covering。
【40题详解】

【41题详解】

【42题详解】
考查时态。句意：到目前为止，美国东北部的二氧化氮污染已经下降了30%。空格前为主语Nitrogen dioxideUnited States（美国东北部地区的二氧化氮），是第三人称单数，空格后为介词by，推断空格为谓语动词，结合up till now（到现在为止），提示句子时态为现在完
成时。故填has dropped。
【43题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：人类活动通常会使海龟难以在沙滩上产卵。分析句子结构可知，此处为sth. make(s) it difficult for sb. to do sth.（某事让做某事对于某人来说是困难的），在此结构中，it作形式宾语，不定式为真正的宾语。故填to leave。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：但是随着大部分灯关了以及人们留在家里，现在海龟筑巢区域看起来好多了。分析句子结构可知，此处应用with引导伴随状语。表示“随着……”。故填with。【45题详解】
考查时态。句意：但是随着大部分灯关了以及人们留在家里，现在海龟筑巢区域看起来好多了。空格前为主语the sea turtle nesting(海龟筑巢），是第三人称单数，空格后为表语much better(好多了），修饰主语，推断空格为系动词，结合at present（现在），提示句子时态为一般现在时，应用seems，意为“看起来”。故填seems。
【点睛】“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句，是定语从句一种介词前置的定语从句句型，介词与关系代词之间存在一种介宾关系。当关系代词在定语从句中作介词宾语时，把介词置于关系代词前，即演变出“介词+关系代词”句型。“介词+关系代词”结构引导的定语从句中，关系代词只能用which（指物）或whom(指人) ，即：介词+which/whom。当介词放在关系代词的前面时，用在介词后的关系代词不能省略。
