答案 D 本题考查定语从句的关系代词。答语的句意为:我把我爸爸在我生日时给我买的手表丢了。先行词是the watch,关系代词在定语从句中作宾语,故所缺的词是which。
15.—Could you please tell me ?
—Look!He is watching Kobe's last game with the boys over there.
A.where Kevin is
B.who is Kevin
C.what is Kevin doing
答案 A 宾语从句要用陈述句语序,先排除C;答语的含义是“看!他正在那边和那些男孩看科比的最后一场比赛”,由此可推断,问句的含义是“你能告诉我凯文在哪里吗”,故答案为A。

It is reported that some developed countries have shipped broken parts of computers to China. Last month Hong Kong officers found 131,000 kilograms of broken computers, TVs and phones sent from Japan.
Things like these are called electronic waste, or e-waste. Dealing with them is not an easy job. Every time an old computer breaks down, it needs to be dealt with safely. What is worse, at present, broken computer parts are usually buried. It may be hundreds of years before they are really gone in the earth. Many places in China are polluted by e-waste. Guiyu in Guangdong Province is one of them. This town is named as “the e-waste capital of the world”. It has to deal with 1.5 million kilograms of e-waste each year. Many of the poisons (毒物)in e-waste find their way into the environment. An environmental group has found the air, the earth and the rivers in Guiyu badly polluted.
Luckily, the Chinese government wants the country to change the situation. This year, China passed a new environmental protection law. Computer companies like Lenovo and Dell will be asked to take back their old computers. Hopefully, the problem with e-waste will be solved in the near future.

I think it is safe to say that snakes are not popular among most people.It would be hard to find a person who is neutral(中立的),or simply doesn't care one way or the other.What I wonder is why something even without legs causes such great fear.
Snakes are quite useful,but that doesn't seem to matter.Snakes help control the population of mice.Without snakes,perhaps we would find mice everywhere.Most of us,however,would rather see a mouse than a snake.
The poison argument(毒性的争论)is a strong one.Some snakes are poisonous,and this causes people's death.However,the poisonous snakes are only a small number.We can't say all the snakes are bad just because of a few dangerous ones.
And what do we do with the people who really like snakes? They like snakes even more strongly than we dislike them.These people learn about them,find them out,and watch them carefully.Why? The only reason I can think of is that these people are open-minded.They are able to put aside differences and welcome the snake as a friend.
Whatever the reason for our like or dislike,snakes do something good in the circle of life.They would prefer to be left alone,and that is what we should do.If you're lucky,you might not run across more than a few of them in a lifetime.That would be fine with most of us.
31.How does the writer describe the appearance of snakes?
A.Something even without legs.

C
“Save the whales!” That's what the picture on Jake Smith's bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important that showed he cared. He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighbourhood.
It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whales' coming. A group of the animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake's hometown. All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie, but nothing they'd have to do anything about.
Then one whale swam in the direction, directly towards land. It came in with the waves, and when the waves receded, it stayed. Its huge body rested on the sand. Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers. A few people ran towards the animal. They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water, but it was no use.
An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery, to help move the animal. Jake and his family couldn't do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers. At least, Jake thought, they could help in some way.
Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times they were finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to sea. It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea. Then, in what looked like a jump for joy, it rose high above the water—a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save its life.
36.What does the picture on Jake's wall tell us about him?
A.He lived near the ocean.
B.He cared about the environment.
C.He worked as an animal rescuer.
D.He thought whales were the most beautiful animals.
37.Why did the local people go down to the beach that morning?
A.To swim with the whales.
B.To help rescue the whales.
C.To see the whales swimming.
D.To watch a movie about whales.
38.The underlined word “receded” in Paragraph 3 means .
A.didn't move B.went back out
C.washed over D.got up
39.How did Jake and his family help save the whale?
A.By calling the rescue service.
B.By asking their neighbours for help.
C.By giving the rescuers food and drink.
8
D.By controlling the people on the beach.
40.In what order did the events of the whale rescue take place?
a.The whale disappeared under the sea.
b.People turned on the lights of their cars.
c.Rescuers lifted the whale into the water.
d.Animal rescue service brought its truck.
e.People pushed the whale towards the sea.

答案
[语篇解读] 这是一篇记叙文。讲述了人们齐心协力帮助一头鲸鱼重回大海的故事。
36.B 细节理解题。根据第一段第一、二句“‘Save the whales!’ That's what the picture on Jake Smith's bedroom wall said.”可知,选B项。
37.C 细节理解题。根据第二段第二、三、四句可知,当天早晨一群鲸鱼游向Jake家乡的海滩,人们纷纷跑出去看鲸鱼游动。故选C项。
38.B 词义猜测题。根据第三段第二、三句可知,海浪把鲸鱼冲到了海滩上,海浪退去了,鲸鱼留在了海滩上。故选B项。
39.C 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句及最后一段第一句可知,Jake和他的家人在海滩上也帮不上什么忙,所以他们回到家做了三明治和热茶送给救援人员,尽一点微薄之力。故选C项。
40.A 细节理解题。根据最后一段第五句“After trying many times they were finally able to lift the whale into the water.”可知,鲸鱼最终获救游回大海,故a项应位于末尾,排除C、D两项;根据第四段第一句“An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck...”及第五段第三句“Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the headlights on the sand.”可知,救援人员到了之后,人们打开车灯给救援人员照明,所以d在b之前,排除B项。故选A项。
