8、hand since the steps are the same as using big machines. You should use paper with small amounts of printing. Old envelopes are good for this reason. Colored paper also can be used, as well as small amounts of newspaper. Small pieces of rags or cloth can be added. These should be cut into pieces abo

9、ut five centimeters by five centimeters. Everything is placed in a container, covered with water and brought to a boil. It is mixed for about two hours with some common chemicals and then allowed to cool. Then it is left until most of the water dries up. The substance left, called pulp(紙漿), can be s

10、tored until you are ready to make paper. When you are ready, the pulp is mixed with water again. Then the pulp is poured into a mould. The mould is made of small squares of wire that hold the shape and thickness of the paper. To help dry the paper, the mould lets the water flow through the small wir

11、e squares. After several more drying steps, the paper is carefully lifted back from the mould. It is now strong enough to be touched. The paper is smoothed and pressed to remove trapped air. You can use a common electric iron used for pressing clothes. 4.It is suggested that we “should choose paper

12、with small amounts of printing” to.A.make paper by ourselvesB.renew the old envelopesC.make various colored paperD.create our own newspaper5.Whether the paper is strong enough to be touched is determined by.A.how long the pulp is stored B.how thick the paper isC.how much water remains D.what type of

14、paper-makingD.argue about the possibility of paper-making by hand答案語篇解讀本文屬于說明文,作者講述了如何手工做紙,并詳細介紹了手工做紙的程序和方法。4.A推理判斷題。根據第一段第二句But it is still possible to make paper by hand since the steps are the same as using big machines.可知主要講述的是手工做紙的話題,所以在第二段中提出要選擇那些印刷內容較少的紙張,目的就是自己做紙。故A正確。5.C推理判斷題。根據第三段第三句Then i

15、t is left until most of the water dries up. The substance left, called pulp(紙漿), can be stored until you are ready to make paper.以及最后一段中的After several more drying steps.可知剩下的水越少,說明紙漿就越多,那么生產出來的紙的質量也就越好,能夠硬到讓人去觸摸。故C正確。6.A細節(jié)理解題。根據最后一段中的The paper is smoothed and pressed to remove trapped air. You can u

16、se a common electric iron used for pressing clothes.說明當紙從模具里拿出來以后,要對它進行熨燙,讓它變平。故A正確。7.B主旨大意題。作者在本文中講述的是如何手工做紙,并詳細介紹了手工做紙的程序和方法。所以本文主要就是描述做紙的過程,故B正確。CAs trees across the northern areas turn gold and deep red, you can find autumn colors in parks and woodlands, in the cities, countryside, and mountains

17、. People are wondering what these colors are for. For years, scientists have worked to understand the changes that happen to trees in the autumn. Up to now there have been different explanations for why natural selection makes autumn colors so widespread.Dr.Hamilton from Oxford University proposed t

18、hat bright autumn leaves contained a message: they warn insects to leave them alone. In the autumn, insects choose trees where they will lay eggs. When the larvae(幼蟲)come out the next spring, they feed on the trees, often with a result of destruction of the trees. Dr. Hamilton suggested that trees c

19、ould ward off these insects with poisons. They could have strong defenses by letting egg-laying insects know what was in store for their eggs.Dr.Hamilton and his students turned the theory into a mathematical model, which showed that warning signals could indeed drive the evolution(進化)of bright leav

20、es. It was a first attempt to see what was out there.A research team from the University of Wisconsin gave a quite different explanation. “If you are up here in Wisconsin, by the time leaves change, all the insects that feed on leaves are gone,” Dr. Hoch said. He believed that autumn colors served m

21、ainly as protection.According to Dr. Hoch and his team, autumn colors might be able to protect the leaves from sun damage or frost(冰凍)injuryin other words, they actually act as a sunscreen to avoid the destruction of the leaves. Besides, autumn colors might protect the leaves from water loss. If the

22、 cells in the leaves become dry, the connections between the cells will be weakened and the leaves will break off.Although there are different explanations about autumn colors, it has really given them a deeper concern for this time of year. “People sometimes say that science makes the world less in

23、teresting by just explaining things away,” one famous biologist said.“But with autumn leaves, the more you know about them, the more amazed you will be.”8.According to Dr. Hamilton, there is a connection between.A.the size of leaves and the survival of insectsB.the size of leaves and the behavior of

24、 insectsC.the size of leaves and the quality of insectsD.the size of leaves and the number of insects9.Dr. Hoch and his team give the explanation that.A.climate has an influence on the color of the leavesB.sun damage and frost injury drive the insects awayC.the color of autumn leaves has a protectiv

25、e functionD.autumn colors bring great destruction to the leaves10.The underlined phrase “ward off” in Paragraph 2 probably means“”.A.catch B.attract C.ignore D.prevent11.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A.The evolution of colorful leavesB.The secret to autumn leaves chang

26、esC.The charming autumn colorsD.The role of leaves being protection答案語篇解讀秋天到了,葉子成了金黃色。在我們眼中這是美麗的秋景,可是科學家們卻在研究葉子變成黃色是為了什么。秋天的葉子里藏著什么秘密?8.D推理判斷題。根據第二段中In the autumn, insects choose trees where they will lay eggs. When the larvae(幼蟲)come out the next spring, they feed on the trees, often with a result

27、of destruction of the trees.可知幼蟲以樹葉為食,所以樹葉的大小和昆蟲的數量有關系。故選D項。9.C細節(jié)理解題。根據倒數第二段中According to Dr. Hoch and his team, autumn colors might be able to protect the leaves from sun damage or frost(冰凍)injuryin other words, they actually act as a sunscreen to avoid the destruction of the leaves.可知秋天的樹葉有保護作用,金黃

28、色保護葉子免受傷害,故選C項。10.D詞義猜測題。根據第二段畫線詞前一句When the larvae(幼蟲)come out the next spring, they feed on the trees, often with a result of destruction of the trees.和后一句They could have strong defenses by letting egg-laying insects know what was in store for their eggs.可知畫線詞的意思是“阻止”,故選D。11.B主旨大意題。根據第一段第一句As tree

29、s across the northern areas turn gold and deep red, you can find autumn colors in parks and woodlands, in the cities, countryside, and mountains.和最后一段中 “But with autumn leaves, the more you know about them, the more amazed you will be.”可知本文敘述的是秋天樹葉變化的秘密。故選B項。DIf youve ever had to chop an onion, you

30、probably know that its one of the most annoying cooking experiences. It just fills your eyes with tears. Scientists and farmers have been working on a solution to this problem for decades, and theyve apparently come up with a tearless onion.Called the “Sunion”, this new vegetable is the result of a

31、natural cross-breeding program thats been going on farms in Nevada and Washington since the 1980s. Its supposedly a sweet, mild-tasting onion that doesnt leave that strong, pungent aftertaste, but what really sets it apart from most other onion varieties is that it doesnt cause teary eyes when its c

32、hopped.When you cut into a normal onion, it releases a compound called lachrymatory-factor synthase, and when that hits your eyes, your body produces tears. Now, the interesting thing about regular onions is that the amounts of lachrymatory-factor synthase increase the longer the vegetables are stor

33、ed, so the older they are, the more you will cry. In Sunions, on the other hand, the levels of that annoying compound drop as time goes by, until it no longer has any effect on your eyes when you cut it.Thats what Sunion growers are claiming anyway, but reports from those lucky enough to have tried

34、them seem to confirm these claims. The Huffington Post had three of its reporters chop some Sunions, and apparently, none of them shed a single tear. According to the Washington Post, they dont have the pungency of regular onions and are so sweet that you can eat them “l(fā)ike popcorn”.So the good news

35、 is that tearless onions are now a real thing. The bad news is that they are currently only grown in Washington and Nevada, and even though they are sold nationwide, they are still in relatively short supply. The first Sunion batches hit the shelves of grocery stores in December, but well probably s

36、tart seeing them in most grocery shops and supermarkets in the next few years, as more people learn about them.12.What is special about the Sunion?A.Its easily chopped. B.Its sweet and tastes strong.C.Its tearless and mild. D.Its grown nationwide in the USA.13.How does the author introduce the Sunio

37、n in Paragraph 3?A.By comparison. B.By telling a story.C.By giving examples. D.By asking questions.14.What does the underlined word “pungency” in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Round shape. B.Strong smell.C.Special character.D.Medical function.15.What can we conclude from the last paragraph?A.The Sunion has bee

38、n largely on the market.B.The Sunion is still on trial at present.C.The Sunion will soon be grown worldwide.D.The author is confident about the future of the Sunion.答案語篇解讀有過切洋蔥經歷的人一定會印象深刻:兩眼淚水。美國兩個州研究出了一種新型的洋蔥,不會讓人流淚而且還可以像吃玉米花那樣吃它。12.C細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第一段最后一句中的theyve apparently come up with a tearless onio

39、n及第二段中Its supposedly a sweet, mild-tasting onion that doesnt leave that strong, pungent aftertaste, but what really sets it apart from most other onion varieties is that it doesnt cause teary eyes when its chopped.可知這種洋蔥不會讓人流眼淚且氣味不濃。故選C項。13.A推理判斷題。根據文章第三段可知,作者用普通洋蔥與新型洋蔥進行比較,故作者是運用了比較法。故選A項。14.B詞義猜測題

40、。根據其后半句are so sweet that you can eat them “l(fā)ike popcorn”可以猜測出pungency是“刺激性氣味”之意。故選B項。15.D推理判斷題。根據文章最后一段中The first Sunion batches hit the shelves of grocery stores in December,but well probably start seeing them in most grocery shops and supermarkets in the next few years,as more people learn about t

41、hem.可知作者對Sunion的未來很有信心。故選D。二.完形填空（每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文,從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中,選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。My daughter is a single parent. She works hard to 1 for herself and her three young sons.
