Passage 1

  【语篇导读】文章介绍了苹果节举办的时间、项目及地点。重点提到苹果节上种类丰富的苹果品种和有关苹果种植的相关知识,特别指出可以与苹果种植专家进行讨论等。再加上孩子们喜欢的以苹果为主题的趣味游戏,可以说,对于那些对苹果及苹果种植感兴趣的人极具吸引力。

  1.What can people do at the apple events?

  A.Attend experts’ lectures.

  B.Visit fruit-loving families.

  C.Plant fruit trees in an orchard.

  D.Taste many kinds of apples.

  答案 D

  解析 细节理解题。由第二段第一句“Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see,and often taste,a wide variety of apples.”可知,在苹果节的活动中,人们可以品尝到各种苹果。故选D项。

  2.What can we learn about Decio?

  A.It is a new variety.

  B.It has a strange look.

  C.It is rarely seen now.

  D.It has a special taste.

  答案 C

  解析 推理判断题。由第二段第二句中的“it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence,such as Decio which was grown by the Romans.”可推知,Decio是以前由罗马人种植的一种苹果,现在的人们能够看到这种苹果就算是大开眼界了。由此推知现在Decio苹果非常罕见。故选C项。

  3.What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean?

  A.A practical idea. B.A vain hope.

  C.A brilliant plan. D.A selfish desire.

  答案 B

  解析 词义猜测题。由第三段第二句可知,Orleans Reinette果品上佳,但是对温度、环境、土壤的要求很高,因此,对大多数喜欢种植该苹果的爱好者来说是a pipe dream (白日梦)。

  4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

  A.To show how to grow apples.

  B.To introduce an apple festival.

  C.To help people select apples.

  D.To promote apple research.

  答案 B

  解析 主旨大意题。通读全篇,文章主要介绍一个关于苹果的节日——苹果节。故选B项。

  【长难句分析】Although it doesn’t taste of anything special,it’s still worth a try,as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的)Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.

  尽管品起来没有特别之处,它值得一试,正如多疙瘩的猫头苹果一样,它比其他的东西更令人好奇。

  本句是一个复合句。Although引导的是让步状语从句,主句是it’s still worth a try,as引导的是方式状语从句。

Passage 2

  【语篇导读】文章主要介绍了一种由Ehud Shabtai改装的最新导航系统。

  1.What did Shabtai do when he found his girlfriend’s gift out of date?

  A.He improved it.

  B.He took it apart.

  C.He put it away.

  D.He used it anyway.

  答案 A

  解析 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Shabtai,a coding enthusiast,had an immediate reaction to reinvent.”可知,他立刻对GPS进行了改进。

  2.What sets Waze Mobile apart from traditional navigation apps?

  A.It has the most users.

  B.It can indicate directions.

  C.It reports road conditions in real time.

  D.Most users help edit its words.

  答案 C

  解析 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Unlike traditional navigation apps that simply show directions,Waze asks its users to report accidents and other road conditions in real time,so other users can avoid the traffic by using an alternative route.”可知,Waze Mobile 要求使用者随时报道路况,这是与其他传统导航不同的地方。

  3.What does the underlined word “perpetually” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?

  A.Difficultly. B.Carefully.

  C.Greatly. D.Constantly.

  答案 D

  解析 词义猜测题。根据文章第六段中的“he grounded the app in software that could be perpetually updated by users,anywhere and anytime.”可知,用户们可以随时随地更新软件,所以可以猜出perpetually意为“不断地”。

  4.What is mainly talked about in the text?

  A.The rise of carpooling.

  B.An advanced navigation app.

  C.The development of Google.

  D.Traffic problems in the world.

  答案 B

  解析 主旨大意题。通读整篇文章可知,文章主要介绍了一种先进的导航程序。

  【长难句分析】Unlike traditional navigation apps that simply show directions,Waze asks its users to report accidents and other road conditions in real time,so other users can avoid the traffic by using an alternative route.

  与只显示方向的传统导航应用程序不同,Waze要求用户实时报告交通事故和其他道路状况,这样其他用户就可以选择路线来避免交通堵塞。

  本句总体上是一个并列句。Unilke...引导的结构作状语,其中that引导的是定语从句。
