Though the Executive Mansion was begun in 1792 under the direction of George Washington, the structure was not completed until 1800, so ironically Washington never called it home. The White House is open to the public on weekdays from 10 am until noon. The building was torched by

23、British troops in 1814, during the War of 1812, and the structural damage caused by the fire was repaired, but the sandstone walls outside were still black from the fire. The walls were then painted white, giving birth to the name the building now goes by. An act of Congress made it the official nam

24、e in 1920. Every President has left his mark upon the White House, with Thomas Jefferson adding grass to the east and west wings, Andrew Jackson installing running water, and Harry Truman adding a porch. Bill Clinton's addition to the White House was an indoor track. 第二部分　閱讀理解　(滿分40分，限時35分鐘) 第一節(jié)

25、(共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分) 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項。 A Imagine looking for your lost dog. You step into a cave. But instead of the dog, you find beautiful cave paintings. You see paintings of horses, deer, and bison that were drawn in black, brown, red and yellow. Your first question would pro

26、bably be “Who did this？” This is what happened to four French boys in 1940. They found the Lascaux caves. The paintings the boys discovered in those caves are about 17,000 years old. They were drawn by the ancient people called Cro-Magnons. Cro-Magnons looked much like people of today. They used t

27、ools, such as fishing nets. But their art was extremely good. The main cave at Lascaux is called Great Hall of Bulls, which has a picture of bulls and horses in many colours. The largest animal is 18 feet long. There are smaller animals, such as bison, stags and a bear. There is also a strange spott

28、ed two-horned (兩只角的) animal. To the left of the main cave are the most famous paintings that are the drawings of animals in many different colours. One painting is called Little Horses. On the ceiling are horses and cows. The most unusual sight may be in the Shaft of the Dead Man where there is a r

29、hinoceros, a carefully drawn dead man, an injured bison and a bird. Why did Cro-Magnon artists do these beautiful drawings on cave walls? Did the drawings call upon some magic power? Did the Cro-Magnon people hope that the drawings would bring good luck? There is one thing the paintings seem to tel

30、l us. The Cro-Magnons were interested in the world. They looked at beauty and they understood it. 21．The author uses the word “you” in Paragraph 1 to ________. A．a(chǎn)ttract readers' attention B．make it clear that this is a true story C．give readers good directions to find the caves D．compare mod

31、ern people with Cro-Magnon people 解析：選A　推理判斷題。第一段虛構(gòu)了一個以讀者為主人公的場景，目的是引起讀者的注意。 22．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．The cave paintings are beautiful. B．Who found the beautiful cave paintings. C．The Lascaux caves hold colourful ancient paintings. D．Drawings of horses are on the walls of the

32、 Lascaux caves. 解析：選C　主旨大意題。文章開頭介紹了發(fā)現(xiàn)壁畫的過程，接下來描述了這些壁畫。只有C項能夠全面概括全文內(nèi)容。A項范圍太廣，且有些偏題；B、D兩項只是文中的細節(jié)，不能概括全文。 23．The passage is most probably taken from ________. A．a(chǎn) research paper B．a(chǎn) cultural magazine C．a(chǎn) science newspaper D．a(chǎn) travel guide 解析：選B　文章出處題。本文主要介紹了法國Lascaux巖洞內(nèi)的壁畫。這些古老的壁畫本身就是寶貴的文化遺產(chǎn)，因此本

33、文最有可能來自文化方面的雜志。 B It is no wonder the village is the coldest permanently inhabited (有人居住的) settlement in the world with the average temperature for January standing at －50℃. Known as the “Pole of Cold”， the coldest ever temperature recorded in Oymyakon was －71.2℃. This is the lowest recorded tempe

34、rature for any permanently inhabited location on Earth and the lowest temperature recorded in the Northern Hemisphere. Surprisingly, Oymyakon actually means “non-freezing water” due to a nearby hot spring. Nothing grows there so people eat reindeer meat and horse meat. A single shop provides the to

35、wn's bare necessities and the locals work as reindeer-breeders, hunters and ice-fisherman. Doctors say the reason the locals don't suffer from malnutrition (營養(yǎng)失調(diào)) is that their animals' milk contains a lot of micronutrients. Unsurprisingly, locals are accustomed to the weather and unlike in other c

36、ountries — where heavy snow brings everything grinding_to_a_halt,_Oymyakon's school only shuts if temperatures fall below －52℃. There are few modern conveniences in the village — with many buildings still having outdoor toilets — and most people still burn coal and wood for heat. When coal deliveri

37、es are irregular, the power station starts burning wood. If the power stops, the town shuts down in about five hours, and the pipes freeze and crack. Daily problems that come with living in Oymyakon include pen ink freezing, glasses freezing to people's faces and batteries losing power. Locals are

38、said to cave their cars running all day for fear of not being able to restart them. Even if there was coverage for mobile phone reception, the phones themselves would not work in such cold conditions. Another problem caused by the frozen temperatures is burying dead bodies, which can take anything

39、up to three days. The earth must first have melted sufficiently in order to dig it, so a bonfire is lit for a couple of hours. Hot coals are then pushed to the side and a hole, several inches deep, is dug. The process is repeated for several days until the hole is deep enough to bury the coffin.

40、24．What can be implied from the first paragraph? A．The village is the coldest place in the world. B．No residents live permanently in the village. C．Villagers there have to live with severe cold. D．The average temperature stands at －50℃ all year round. 解析：選C　推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段的“It is no wonder the vi

41、llage is the coldest permanently inhabited (有人居住的) settlement in the world with the average temperature”可知，那里的居民要忍受極低的溫度。 25．What does the underlined phrase “grinding to a halt” probably mean in this passage? A．stopping　　　　　 　B．growing C．continuing D．failing 解析：選A　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章第三段的“Oymyakon's sch

B．People there live a hard and simple life with few modern conveniences. C．The extremely cold climate br

43、ings about great trouble to the daily life of the villagers. D．The name of this village — Oymyakon suggests that it's extremely cold here. 解析：選B　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段的敘述可知，由于現(xiàn)代設(shè)施的缺乏，那里的人們過著艱苦、簡單的生活。 27．What is the author's purpose of writing this passage? A．To attract more people to this village. B．To

44、inform readers of this special village. C．To help solve problems the villagers are facing. D．To draw readers' attention to poor people. 解析：選B　寫作意圖題。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，作者是想向讀者介紹一個極度寒冷的村莊。 C Here are three dream trips every traveler should experience： See the Northern Lights There is no doubt that it is

45、the greatest light show on Earth. But before you get lost in the beauty of the Northern Lights, it's worth remembering there are some pretty impressive forces at work behind the scenes. Caused by collisions (碰撞事故) between gaseous particles in the Earth's atmosphere, the Northern Lights commonly app

46、ear during the winter months in northern countries like Canada, Finland, Alaska, Greenland, Norway, Sweden and the place that seems to be on everyone's travel wish list right now, Iceland. That includes Akureyri, which topped Lonely Planet's “10 Best Places in Europe” list in June. Less than 100 kil

47、ometres from the Arctic Circle, it's Iceland's second-largest city and a best spot to watch the Northern Lights dance through the sky.

48、te like a photo taken from the edge of your overwater bungalow — particularly when it's in Bora Bora, according to TripAdvisor's users. The Four Seasons Resorts Bora Bora is consistently rated as one of the world's best overwater bungalow resorts. Not hard to see why. It's made up of 100 overwater

49、bungalows with traditional teak (柚木) wood furnishings and roofs covered with pandanus (露兜樹) leaves. Admire the sunset over Santorini Open any Greece travel brochure and chances are you'll see a shot of the famed blue and white domed houses of Santorini. But the island's sunsets, which rank_with so

50、me of the best in the world, are just deserving of travelers' attention. The village of Oia is where you'll find some of the best sunset views, whether you choose to take it all in from a restaurant or offshore on a boat. Have you ever been to those places? If not, what are you waiting for? Take ac

51、tion. 28．Where can we enjoy the Northern Lights best? A．Akureyri. B．Alaska. C．Greenland. D．Hawaii. 解析：選A　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“That includes Akureyri ... a best spot to watch the Northern Lights dance through the sky.”可知，阿庫雷里(冰島北部城市)是觀看北極光的最佳位置。 29．Why do people want to go to visit the Four Seasons

52、 Resorts Bora Bora? A．Because they can take wonderful photos. B．Because they can go boating. C．Because they can experience living in an overwater room. D．Because they can see traditional furniture. 解析：選C　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的“The Four Seasons Resorts Bora Bora has 100 overwater bungalows. Nothing says ‘

53、my vacation is way more wonderful than yours’ quite ...”可知，人們可以在波拉波拉島體驗住在水上小屋的生活。 30．What can we learn from the last but one paragraph? A．In Oia, you can see many green and white domed houses. B．In Oia, you can admire the best sunset view from any place. C．In Oia, if you want to watch the sunset

56、on over-85s in the UK currently. By 2030 the number will have doubled and by 2050 it will top 5 million, according to forecasts. As a House of Lords committee report has suggested, the longer life could cause a series of “crises” in the public service — not only in terms of health and social care,

57、but for pensions, housing and employment. It is commonly believed that old age means an individual becomes a burden. That is understandable. Research suggests that while people are living longer, they are not automatically living so long with good health. Today most over-85s have between three and

58、six long-term conditions, including everything from heart disease and diabetes to dementia. It means they are more likely to end up in hospital. But there is growing evidence that with better planning — by both the state and individual — some of these can be avoided. If the elderly are given more s

59、upport in the community, they will be more likely to stand a chance of remaining independent and out of hospital. In Torbay, for example, health and social care budgets have been combined, encouraging a better approach to caring for the elderly, resulting in a fall in hospital admissions. A report

60、published by Age UK points out that while old age does bring challenges, the problem isn't that serious. The report says that the majority of people over the age of 85 actually rate their health and quality of life as good. According to the report, there are two key factors for the over-85s: remain

61、ing active and maintaining friendships. The importance of living healthily is well-known. But the role of socializing (交際) is often less acknowledged. In fact, Age UK argues that socializing is just as important as the physical activity, as loneliness is a risk factor for both mental and physical d

62、ecline. “Older_people_need_to_be_cared_about,_not_just_cared_for，” says Michelle Mitchell of Age UK. 語篇解讀：目前，英國85歲以上的老人有150多萬。到2050年，這一數(shù)字將上升到500萬。如何讓老年人安度晚年現(xiàn)正成為英國面臨的一個重要問題。 32．How many over-85s will there have been in the UK by 2030? A．More than 1.5 million. B．More than 3 million. C．4.5 million

63、. D．5 million. 解析：選B　數(shù)字計算題。根據(jù)第一段的內(nèi)容可知，目前，英國85歲以上的老人有150多萬，到2030年，這一數(shù)字將翻一番，也就是300多萬。故選B。 33．According to the Paragraph 3, the elderly become a burden mainly because ________. A．they lack friends B．they need pensions C．they're in poor health D．they don't go to work 解析：選C　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段的內(nèi)容可知，人們普

64、遍把老年人看作是一種負擔(dān)，這種看法是可以理解的，因為研究表明大多數(shù)老年人的身體健康狀況不好。故選C。 34．What does the report by Age UK mainly stress? A．The importance of socializing. B．The importance of mental health. C．The importance of healthy living. D．The importance of physical exercise. 解析：選A　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Age UK argues that socializing

65、 is just as important as the physical activity”和倒數(shù)第二段可知，Age UK的這份報告重點強調(diào)了交際的重要性，所以選A項。 35．By saying “Older people need to be cared about, not just cared for”， Michelle Mitchell advises us to ________. A．take care of the elderly B．offer the elderly more help C．give the elderly more money D．commun

66、icate frequently with the elderly 解析：選D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“as loneliness is a risk factor for both mental and physical decline”可知，Michelle Mitchell給我們的建議是：多和老年人溝通。故選D。 第二節(jié)(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分) 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。 Friendships can help reduce depression and loneliness as well as enrich lives and improve health. __36__ Here are some useful tips that can help to overcome shyness and make new friends. __37__ Many shy people find it really hard to talk to people.
