Fire Prevention Information
The University of Adelaide employs a full-time staff of fire prevention professionals. They inspect all campus buildings and test and maintain all sprinkler(喷水灭火装置) systems, fire alarms, and fire extinguishers (灭火器). They also provide educational programs on fire safety in the residence halls. Whenever you move to a new area, you should locate the fire alarm pull stations and the two exits nearest your room.
Fire Alarms
The floors of all campus buildings are equipped with manual(手动的) fire alarm systems which include fire alarm pull stations and pipes. Most are also equipped with automatic fire alarm systems consisting of heat detectors, smoke detectors and sprinklers. For your safety, never tamper with(胡乱摆弄) these systems. False fire alarms are illegal and may lead to imprisonment.
Fire Drills
A fire drill will be conducted in your residence hall every semester. During a fire drill, please do the following:
·Take your room key and ID, close and lock the door to your room.
·Exit immediately from the nearest emergency exit; do not use a lift.
·Meet outside of your residence hall and wait for further instructions.
Fire Extinguishers
Fire extinguishers are located on each floor and in each apartment. Use a fire extinguisher only if you have been trained to do so. Irresponsible use of a fire extinguisher can create a dangerous situation for other residents and could result in damage to personal property. Misuse of a fire extinguisher will result in fines.
Smoke Detectors
A smoke detector is on the ceiling in your room. Some buildings also have heat detectors on the ceilings. Do the following to ensure the safe operation of your smoke detector:
●If your smoke detector is working properly, the red light should be on. If the red light is not blinking(闪动), contact residence hall staff immediately.
●Do not cover or block your smoke detector in any way.
●If a smoke detector sets off an alarm and there is no fire or smoke, inform your hall
staff.

Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions.
Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的)to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.
The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they’d felt cold water at
first.
Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.
The pressures of "time" and "destination" are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.
Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.
25. According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more ____________.
A. anxious to do wonders
B. sensitive to others’ feelings
C. likely to develop unpleasant habits
D. eager to explore the world around them
26. What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?
A. To avoid jumping to conclusions.
B. To stop complaining all the time.
C. To follow the teacher’s advice.
D. To admit mistakes honestly.
27. The bird watchers’ behavior shows that they __________.
A. are very patient in their observation
B. are really fascinated by nature
C. care only about the names of birds
D. question the accuracy of the field guides
28. Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?
A. The natural beauty isn’t attractive to them.
B. They focus on arriving at the camp in time.
C. The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.
D. They are keen to see rare birds at the destination.
C
I have learned something about myself since I moved from Long Island to Florida three years ago. Even though I own a home in Port St, Lucie just minutes from the ocean,
an un- controllable urge wells up to return to Long Island even as others make their way south. I guess I am a snowbird stuck in reverse. Instead of enjoying Florida’s mild winters, I willingly endure the severe weather on Long Island, the place I called home for 65 years.
I’m like a migratory bird (候鸟) that has lost its sense of timing and direction, my wings flapping against season.
So what makes me fly against the tide of snowbirds? The answer has a lot to do with my reluctance to give up the things that define who I am. Once I hear that the temperature on Long Island has dipped into the range of 40 to 50 degrees, I begin to long for the sight and crackling sound of a wood fire. I also long for the bright display of colors-first in the fall trees, and then in the lights around homes and at Rockefeller Center. Floridians decorate too, but can’t create the special feel of a New England winter.
I suppose the biggest reason why I return is to celebrate the holidays with people I haven’t seen in months. What could be better than sitting with family and friends for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner, or watching neighbors children excitedly open gifts on Christmas? Even the first snowfall seems special. I especially enjoy seeing a bright red bird settling on a snow-covered branch. (My wife and I spend winters at a retirement community in Ridge, and I’m grateful that I don’t have to shovel.)
While these simple pleasures are not unique to Long Island, they are some of the reasons why I come back. Who says you can’t go home?
29. What’s the difference between Florida and Long Island?
A. Winters in Florida are milder.
B. The snowbirds in Florida are rarer.
C. Weather in Florida is severer.
D. Florida is nearer to the ocean.
30. What does the underlined word “reluctance” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Unwillingness.
B. Expectation.
C. Coincidence.
D. Motivation.
31. Which of the following words can best describe the author?
A. Imaginative and outspoken.
B. Hard-working and serious.
C. Homesick and easy-going
D. Anxious and painful.
32. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To describe his dream to be a free bird.
B. To express his feeling of missing his hometown.
C. To praise the beauty and warmth of his hometown.
D. To explain the reasons for moving from his hometown.
D
Plastic-Eating Worms
Humans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year. Almost half of that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋场),and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. qSo far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.
Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms' chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films. 14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass--apparently broken down by enzymes(酶)from the worms' stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017.
Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms' ability to break down their everyday food-beeswax--also allows them to break down plastic "Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well, "she explains. "The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond. "
Jennifer Debruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breaking down in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?
Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team’s findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process-not simply "millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.”
33. What can we learn about the worms in the study?
A. They take plastics as their everyday food.
B. They are newly evolved creatures.
C. They can consume plastics.
D. They wind up in landfills.
34. According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to .
A. identify other means of the breakdown
B. find out the source of the enzyme
C. confirm the research findings
D. increase the breakdown speed
35. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might .
A. help to raise worms
B. help make plastic bags
C. be used to clean the oceans
D. be produced in factories in future

2直接与间接不分:把文章中明确的表达当成推理
3无中生有:以假乱真,捏造原文根本不存在的信息,并以此为依据进行推断。
四.解题技巧
1结合全文(断)信息,综合判断,确定最佳结论。
2抓住关键词或短语,利用逆向思维或正向推理,获得这句话背后的深层含义。
D
【答案】33. C 34. B 35. D
【解析】
本文为说明文。文章介绍了一种吃塑料的虫子大蜡螟,它胃中的酶能够降解塑料,这为解决塑料污染提供了新的途径。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms’ ability to break down their everyday food — beeswax — also allows them to break down plastic.可知,研究结果发现,蠕虫分解日常食物的能力让它们可以分解塑料,也就是说它们可以消费塑料。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?可知,下一步研究是辨清分解的原因,查明这种酶来源于哪里,是虫子自己产生的还是它肠道里的微生物产生的。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process — not simply "millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic."可以推断出,Bertocchini希望这种化学物质将来能在工业生产中使用,而不是仅仅依靠蠕虫来分解塑料。故选D。

10. Fortunate→Fortunately
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇记叙文。作者和好朋友Kevin徒步旅行的经过。
【详解】1.考查名词复数。one of后跟名词复数,故把friend改为friends。
2.考查并列谓语。句意:那天早上我起得很早,在我的午餐盒里准备了很多食物。此处是并列谓语,故把prepare改为prepared。
3.考查介词。句意:然后我去凯文家接他。go to+名词地点,此处home是名词,故在went后加to。
4.考查固定搭配。enjoy doing sth.“喜爱做某事”,故把句中的at去掉。
5.考查不定代词。此处是I和Kevin,是两个人,“两者都”是both,故把all改为both。
6.考查固定搭配。句意:当我们到达那座山后,我们都情不自禁地欣赏自然风景。固定搭配:couldn’t help doing sth.“情不自禁做某事”; couldn’t help but do sth.“不得不做某事”。故把help后加but或admire改为admiring。

8.考查非限制性定语从句。句意:然后他建议我们之间有一场比赛,这让我也很兴奋。此处是前面整个句子作先行词,后面的非限制性定语从句用which引导,故把what改为which。
9.考查并列连词。句意:然后他建议我们之间有一场比赛,这让我也很兴奋。所以我立刻同意了。前后是一种因果关系,故把But改为So。
10.考查副词。句意:幸运的是,他被一棵树卡住了,最后我把他拉了上来。此处是副词修饰整个句子,故把Fortunate改为Fortunately。
【点睛】虚拟语气用在其它名词性从句中
1.虚拟语气用在 suggest, demand, insist, ask, move, advise. desire, order, propose, require, recommend, request, maintain, vote 等表示建议,命令,请求的动词后的宾语从句中,从句的谓语用 should + 原形动词,但美国英语中常要省去 should 。例如:They propose that you (should) read the rules carefully.
2.虚拟语气用在 It is + 形容词(或过去分词)+ that... .的主语从句中,表示要求,建议,提议,命令,请求等,英国英语中从句的谓语用“should +原形动词(或完成式)构成”,而美国英语中则要求用原形动词。该句型中常用的形容词或过去分词有:advisable, desirable, essential, important, better, keen, natural, necessary, probable, possible, strange, vital, desired, demanded, requested, suggested, recommended, required 等。例如:It is necessary that the machine (should) be oiled once a week.
3.虚拟语气用在与表示建议,要求,提议,命令,请求等意思有关的同位语从句和表语从句中,英国英语中要求从句谓语用“ should + 原形动词”,而美国英语中则要求用原形动词, 但在 as
if, as though引导的表语从句中,从句中谓语用动词过去式或过去完成式,表示对现在或过去的虚拟。例如:He complied with the requirement that the experiment (should) be done tomorrow.他同意明天再做实验的要求。虚拟语气用在其它名词性从句中
七、书面表达
Dear Mr. Smith,
I’ve read your advertisement for a volunteer for a children’s winter camp. I’m quite interested in this position. I am outgoing, energetic, well-organized and responsible; and most importantly, I love working with children! In the past two years, as a monitor in my class, I have proved myself to be an excellent helper to my teachers. I speak English fluently, which enables me to help native English speakers communicate freely and effectively with students in an English only environment.
I will soon have a long winter vocation, so I have no problem working evenings and weekends. I can start my work next week. I would be pleased to assist both the teacher and students in this challenging and rewarding environment.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,

We’re here at Westfield Farms Annual Pumpkin Carving Festival. And as you can see, we have 700 participants of all different ages this year. (17) So it’s not just for the kids. Unlike last year where there was one grand prize winner, this year they have added a couple prizes, (18) including “The Great Pumpkin”, which goes to the person who has grown the largest pumpkin, and “Celebrity Pumpkin”, which is a jack-o-lantern carved to look like the face of a famous person they like. As you can imagine, there are a lot of works about Donald Trump this year! Of course, there is also the biggest prize of all: $10,000 to “The Grand Pumpkin”, (19) which is the best jack-o-lantern from all the competitors. It’s $20 per person to get into the festival, just like last year. But a lot of that money is going to charity, so it’s for a good cause. This is Sherry Watkins, live from Westfield Farms. (20)
