Buckingham Palace
It is the official residence of Queen Elizabeth II in London. The architectural core of
Buckingham Palace is the former Buckingham House，built in 1703. You can visit the state rooms
from August to October when the Queen is on holiday. It is one of the world’s most familiar
buildings. It has 775 rooms. During the summer the famous Changing of the Guards takes place at
the front of the palace at 11:30 and is a popular event for visitors to the capital.
Big Ben and Westminster Palace
It is one of London’s best-known landmarks. Big Ben is the name of the clock inside the
Clock Tower. It lies at the north-eastern end of the Houses of Parliament. Westminster Palace is
one of the largest parliaments in the world. It was built between 1840 and 1880.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London is a historical monument in Central London on the north bank of the
river Thames. It was founded by William the Conqueror. It was a palace and a prison (for Queen
Elizabeth I for example).There you can see strange guards called “the Beefeaters”. Since the
beginning of the 14th century, the Tower of London has been the home of the world famous British
Crown Jewels-they are a must of your visit!6
Trafalgar Square
It was named in 1835 to give honour to the memory of the British victory over the French at
Trafalgar in 1805. There is a huge statue of Admiral Nelson (the British hero killed during the
battle) in the middle of the square. It is a popular tourist attraction with the four lion statues.

Some scientists believe that one of the most intelligent beings on Earth is in fact the octopus
(章鱼).
Octopuses usually live at the bottom of river mouths and seas-areas which are not attractive to
researchers. They are not social animals so it can be hard to study their interaction with others. And
the octopus’ intelligence is not easy for humans to understand. When we observe some animals
such as rats or dogs, we can often understand their behavior. Octopuses，however can seem like
aliens (外星人). Scientists need to have a lot of imagination to understand what an octopus is 7
thinking!
In the 1950s, the US Air Force sponsored scientists to study the way octopuses use their brains.
They hoped that they could use this knowledge to help them build better computers. However, their
brains were so complex that the scientists felt it of no significance to continue with it. Octopuses
have a very complex nervous system and recent research suggests that they have some of their
intelligence inside each arm, which means that each arm can “think” for itself. It also appears that
they have a good memory, perhaps similar to a cat’s.
Perhaps the most striking thing about octopuses is their ability to change their color and body
pattern. They do this to camouflage themselves to avoid their enemies and also to communicate
with others. They can completely change their appearance in less than a second. It can change its
skin to look like rocks, sand or planktron (浮游生物).
Some scientists have even suggested that these different patterns and colors are in fact a very
hard language-and that each design is a different verb，adjective or noun. But nobody has been able
to work out what they might be saying. There’s a long way to go to get to know the octopus
completely.
24. What can we infer about the octopus’ intelligence from Paragraph 2?
A. It does not attract scientists. B. Little has been known about it.
C. It is equal to the cat’s or dog’s. D. Much has been done about it.
25. What can we say about scientists’ study on the octopus in the 1950s?
A. They had to give it up eventually. B. They used computers to help.
C. They found its arms could think. D. They judged it lived like a cat.
26. What does the underlined word “camouflage” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?8
A. Relax. B. Strengthen. C. Hide. D. Express.
27. What does the author think of the octopuses?
A. They are the smartest animals. B. They’re easy to be seen in the sea.
C. It is useful to copy their language. D. It is difficult to understand them.
C
In the shadow of Kenya’s Mount Kilimanjaro, nine Rothschild giraffes, the rarest giraffes on
the planet, are free to wander at the English-style manor (庄园). Every day shortly before 9am,
they come up to the house and stick their heads through the windows and doors in search of
morning treats. The manor’s owners, Tanya and Mikey Carr-Hartley, share their dining table with
them. And now the couple are sharing the fantastic experience with the public by opening the
manor gates to guests at the giraffe hotel, the only hotel of its kind in the world. Now, guests can
feed the giraffes at breakfast but can also get up close to them from their second-floor bedrooms.
Mr and Mrs Carr-Hartley，both 38, spent their childhood living close to the house in Nairobi
and have always been enthusiastic about the animals. Tanya said, “Mikey and I grew up near this
manor house when we were children. We are both third generation Kenyans and have always
wanted to work in conservation. Mikey’s family have been related to the protection of animals for
many generations. His granddad helped the removal of giraffes as far back as the 1930s because the
Rothschild giraffes lost much of their natural living space. When the house came up for sale, we
jumped at the chance to buy it as we had always dreamed of owning it. Now, we were absolutely
overjoyed to do something for the giraffe protection. Having the giraffes so close is very special
and something which people can now experience by staying in one of the ten rooms at the hotel.”
A conservation project to save them was started at the manor in 1974 by the previous owners.
“The previous owners ran a very successful breeding (繁殖) programme, where many giraffes were 9
set free into the wild and we hope to continue,” said Tanya.
28. Why are the Carr-Hartley family unusual?
A. They’re living on the rarest giraffes. B. They share their home with giraffes.
C. They’re good at making giraffes’ food. D. They train giraffes to manage the hotel.
29. What can we know about Mikey’s family?
A. It has had a long connection with giraffes.
B. It used to raise giraffes around the manor.
C. It built a new manor for the wild giraffes.
D. It removed giraffes to Mount Kilimanjaro.
30. Which can best describe the manor’s previous owners’ conservation project?
A. Visitor-friendly. B. Energy-saving. C. Costly. D. Fruitful.
31. What is the suitable title for the text?
A. Giraffes’ breakfast by guests B. Reasons for giraffe protection
C. The world’s only giraffe hotel D. History of the giraffe manor
D
Britain’s first zero-carbon homes are being built—and they look like something from a
science-fiction movie.
There are 25 eco-friendly homes currently being built in Southmoor, near Abingdon, Oxon.
Buyers are able to have the final say on floor layouts，kitchens and bathrooms. One three-bedroom 10
home is on the market for￡801 ,000,with a custom build available to suit your own specification.
These eco-friendly houses are powered entirely by electricity from solar panels around the houses.
They also have advanced ventilation (通风) systems, making sure that temperatures inside the
building don’t go beyond 25℃ for more than 10% of hours annually, as well as mini heat pumps to
generate (产生) the heating and hot water on-site. Part of the cooling design includes avoiding
east-or west-facing windows, and window shading.
And they’re in high demand. Ian Pritchett, of Ssassy Property, thinks the Government should
do more to promote the construction of this type of housing. “Unfortunately, the Government
relaxed the proposed 2016 zero-carbon targets after being lobbied(游说)by house builders,” Ian
explained. “At present, the main house-building corporations control the land and only build at the
rate they are sure will sell, keeping the UK’s housing shortage so that the normal rules of ‘supply
and demand’ don’t apply. When there is a shortage of housing, buyers have to purchase what is
available rather than what they might want.”
In any sensible society, we would expect the planning system to actively encourage
zero-carbon houses，and he tough on anyone failing to deliver the necessary standard. Instead, we
have a planning system that focuses on other aspects such as numbers of bedrooms, garden sizes,
and parking places. These are important aspects, but they pale into insignificance compared to the
catastrophic consequences of climate change.
32. What can a purchaser do before buying the type of housing?
A. Negotiate its price. B. Choose where to build it.
C. Decide how the inside of it looks. D. Design its ventilation.
33. How do people react to the zero-carbon homes?
A. Welcome. B. Uncaring. C. Skeptical. D. Demanding.11
34. What do house-building companies intend to do?
A. Balance the “supply and demand” of houses.
B. Purchase more land to stop climate change.
C. Build more houses powered by the sun.
D. Make it more difficult to buy houses.
35. What’s the author’s attitude to the Government’s planning system?
A. Satisfied. B. Disapproving. C. Worried. D. Ambiguous.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余
选项。
Bad communication, either written, oral, or body language, can send the wrong message in
more ways than one. Here are some tips that will improve your communication skills.
36 Stand up straight, and it will show confidence. Smile, and you will seem
approachable. Don’t cross your arms over your chest, because this tells people you disapprove.
Keep your hands to your side, or if you are sitting, keep them in your lap.
Have confidence when you speak. If you are shy and quiet，project your voice. 37 Never
turn your head away from someone when you are speaking to them, because it may show them you
don’t care enough to give them your full attention, and it will make it harder for the other person to
hear what you are saying.
38 If you always say “I’ve no idea of it”, it will make others feel like you don’t care
enough to give a response, or that you aren’t knowledgeable enough to answer. When people ask 12
questions, they want answers. 39 Say something like “I’m in the middle of something, can
I get back to you?” or “I don’t want to ill advise you, let me find out for you.”
In written communication, always be clear. Before you send an e-mail, or any type of written
communication, read over it at least once, to be sure it makes sense. 40 Written forms of
communication can be tricky, because there is no way to put your tone of voice in, so if you feel
like you are writing a message on a touchy subject that could he misunderstood, it’s probably best
to have a face to face conversation.
A. Have good body language.
B. Listen to the person attentively.
C. Never answer with “I don’t know”.
D. Don’t give the person you are speaking to a quick response.
E. Always look the person in the eye when you are speaking to them.
F. If you aren’t sure it’s clear, have someone else read it before you send it.
G. If someone puts you on the spot, you don’t have to answer them right away.

【解析】
这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了伦敦的五个著名景点（白金汉宫；大本钟；威斯敏斯特宫；伦
敦塔和特拉法尔加广场）的地理位置和历史以及用途等。
【21 题详解】18
细节理解题。根据选项的建造历史可知，具有最长历史的是 The Tower of London，从 14 世
纪开始，“帝国皇冠”就放在这里了。第二个是建于 1703 年的前白金汉宫。故选 D。
【22 题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Since the beginning of the 14th century, the tower of London has been the
home of the world famous British Crown Jewels- they are a must of your visit!”可知，自 14 世纪
初以来，伦敦塔一直是世界著名的英国皇冠珠宝的存放之地---它们是你参观的必到之处！故
选 B。
【23 题详解】
细节理解题。根据“It was named in 1835 to give honour to the memory of the British victory over
the French at Trafalgar in 1805.”可知，Trafalgar Square 是纪念 1805 年英国在特拉法加战胜
法国这个历史事件。故选 A。
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。一些科学家认为，地球上最聪明的生物之一就是章鱼。到目前为止，人们
对章鱼也是知之甚少。
【24 题详解】
推理判断题。第二段谈到：章鱼通常生活在河口和海洋的底部，这些地方对研究人员没有吸
引力。它们不是群居动物，因此很难研究它们与其它动物的相互作用。而且章鱼的智力也不
容易被人类理解。章鱼看起来像外星人。科学家需要有丰富的想象力才能理解章鱼在想什么！
由这些可推知，人们对章鱼的理解很少。故选 B。
【25 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“However, their brains were so complex that the scientists felt it of no 19
significance to continue with it.”信息可知，科学家发现章鱼的大脑是如此复杂，他们觉得继
续研究下去是没有用的。由此可知他们最终放弃了研究。故选 A。
【26 题详解】
词义猜测题。本句前面谈到：章鱼最惊人的地方在于它们改变颜色和身体形态的能力；由本
句后面的“to avoid their enemies（以逃避敌人）”可知，它们这样做是为了伪装自己以躲避敌
人。A. Relax 放松，休息；B. Strengthen 加强，增强；C. Hide 隐蔽，躲避；D. Express 表达。
故选 C。
【27 题详解】
细 节 理 解 题 。 最 后 一 段 作 者 谈 到 “There’s a long way to go to get to know the octopus
completely.（完全了解章鱼还有很长的路要走）”，可知作者认为要了解章鱼不容易。故选D。
【点睛】猜测词义题在高考中有三种考查形式：生词猜测词义或熟词生义、猜测一句话的意
思、指代关系猜词（代词或者名词）。从近三年考查形势看，三种考查方式同等重要。本文
中考查的是生词猜测词义。这种题型的解法主要是在生词后找到其释义句。例如本题中的第
三题考查的就是生词词义猜测，由划线单词后表达的目的“to avoid their enemies（以躲避敌
人）”可知，章鱼是要保护它们自己。划线单词意思与avoid 是相呼应的。据此即可选出正确
答案。
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。位于肯尼亚内罗毕附近的长颈鹿庄园是世界上唯一一家以长颈鹿为主题的

的动物自由徜徉在庄园里，每天快到 9 时的时候，这些长颈鹿就会漫步房前，穿过窗户或者
门把脑袋探进房间寻找美味早餐。20

个英式庄园里自由漫步。每天上午快到 9 点的时候，它们就会来到这所房子里，把头伸进窗
户和门里寻找早餐。庄园的主人 Tanya 和 Mikey Carr-Hartley 与他们共用一张餐桌）”，由这
些信息可知，卡尔哈特雷一家之所以特别是因为他们与长颈鹿共享他们的生活。故选 B。
【29 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段提及的“Mikey’s family have been related to the protection of animals
for many generations. His granddad helped the removal of giraffes as far back as the 1930s because
the Rothschild giraffes lost much of their natural living space.（米基家族几代人都与保护动物有
关。他的祖父早在 20 世纪 30 年代就帮助长颈鹿迁徙，因为罗斯柴尔德长颈鹿的自然生存空
间消失殆尽。）”信息，可知米基一家与长颈鹿有很深的历史渊源。故选 A。
【30 题详解】
细节理解题。由最后一段中的“ The previous owners ran a very successful breeding ( 繁殖)
programme, where many giraffes were set free into the wild（以前的主人进行了一个非常成功
的繁殖项目，许多长颈鹿被放生到野外。）”可知，他们的保护计划成果明显。A. Visitor-friendly

【31 题详解】
主旨大意题。本文开篇谈到：卡尔哈特雷夫妇通过向世界上唯一的长颈鹿酒店的客人开放庄
园大门来与公众分享与长颈鹿亲密接触的奇妙经历。客人可以在早餐时喂长颈鹿，也可以从
二楼的卧室靠近它们。第二段还谈到：长颈鹿离我们这么近是一件很特别的事，现在人们住21
在酒店的 10 个房间的任何一间就能体验到这种感觉。由此可知，C 项（世界上惟一的长颈鹿
酒店）最能体现本文的主题思想。故选 C。
【点睛】主旨大意题是篇章阅读一个主要的考察方式，标题题（best title）是其一个典型的考
点，也是高考阅读中每年的必考题。主旨大意题解题技巧是不要被文章细节所干扰。一般有
两种方式解题：一是看首尾段，根据首尾段内容总结主题思想；二是看每段段首句，根据所
有段首句总结主题思想。例如本文中的第四题，就是标题类的主旨大意题。文章总共三段，
第一段描述庄园内的现状，第二段描述庄园主人与庄园的渊源，第三段描述庄园内曾做过的
繁殖长颈鹿的项目，所以本文都是围绕庄园展开的，由第一段可知，庄园也是世界上唯一的
长颈鹿旅馆。故选 C。
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。介绍了英国首个零碳家园的建设。涉及了零碳家园的基本特点、供求情况
以及政府对此的态度。
【32 题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“Buyers are able to have the final say on floor layouts，kitchens and
bathrooms. One three-bedroom home is on the market for￡801 ,000,with a custom build available
to suit your own specification.（买家可以对楼层布局、厨房和浴室拥有最终决定权。市场上有
一套三居室的房子，售价为 80.1 万英镑，可以根据自己的需求定制。）” 可知买家可以决定
这种房屋的内部布局。故选 C。
【33 题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“And they’re in high demand. Ian Pritchett, of Ssassy Property, thinks
the Government should do more to promote the construction of this type of housing.（这种房子需
求量很大。Ssassy 房产公司的伊恩·普里切特（Ian Pritchett）认为，政府应该为促进这类住房
的建设做出更多努力。）”可知，人们很欢迎这类房子。故选 A。22
34 题详解】
细 节 理 解 题 。 由 第 三 段 中 的 “At present, the main house-building corporations control the
land…buyers have to purchase what is available rather than what they might want. （目前，主要的
房屋建筑公司控制着土地，只按他们确信会出售的速度建造房屋，这使得英国的住房短缺，
使房屋“供应和需求”难以达到的正常要求。当房屋短缺时，购房者不得不购买现在所有的，
而不能买他们想要的。）”可知，房屋建造公司想让购房更为困难。故选 D。
【35 题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段作者谈到：在任何一个理性的社会，我们都希望房屋规划系统积极鼓
励零碳排放的住房，并对任何未能达到必要标准的人采取严厉措施。相反，我们的房屋规划
局却专注于其他方面的规划，比如卧室数量、花园面积和停车位。这些都是重要的方面，但
与气候变化的灾难性后果相比，它们就显得微不足道了。由此可知，作者对政府的房屋规划
持不同的意见。A. Satisfied 满意的；B. Disapproving 不赞同的；C. Worried 担心的，担忧的；
D. Ambiguous 模棱两可的。故选 B。
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。介绍了人与人之间如何提高沟通的技巧。
36 题详解】
本段主要谈到：站直了，就会显得自信。微笑，你会显得平易近人。不要把双臂交叉在胸前，
因为这会告诉别人你不赞同。把手放在身体两侧，或者如果你坐着，把手放在膝盖上。由此
可知，本段在谈我们在与他人交流时的肢体语言。故选 A。
【37 题详解】
本题属于段中句。本段的段首句谈到：说话时要有自信。E 选项与段首句中的“… when you
【23
speak”信息有联系，表示：当你和别人说话的时候，一定要看着对方的眼睛。显示有自信心。
本空后文有“when you are speaking to them”，也暗示了本题的答案。本题容易误选B。如果
不联系上下文，单从本空来看，选 B 似乎讲得通，但与上下文不能形成 逻辑关系。故选 E。
【38 题详解】
本段谈到：如果你总是说“I’ve no idea of it”，这会让别人觉得你对他们的问题不足够关心，
或者你没有足够的知识去回答。当人们问问题时，他们想要答案。由此可知本段主题句应选
C，表示“永远不要回答‘我不知道’”。
【39 题详解】
本题属于段中句。本空后文谈到：你可以这样说：“我正在处理一件事，过会儿给你说，好
吗？”或者“我不想给你出个拙劣的主意，容我来帮你找找答案。”有这个信息可知，本空选 G，
表示：如果你被当场问住了，你不必马上回答。
【40 题详解】
本空属于段中句。本段主题句谈到：在书面交流中，信息一定要清晰。本空前面谈到：在你
发送电子邮件或任何形式的书面交流之前，至少读一遍，以确保信息是清晰的。由此本空选
F，表示：如果你不确定信息是否清楚，在你发送之前让别人读一下。
【点睛】七选五题目主要考查学生综合的英语逻辑思维能力。一篇好的短文，不仅在内容上
要前后一致，而且还要语篇结构清晰，上下文逻辑意义严谨。内容的前后一致体现在段内及
语篇内话题的自然过渡。语篇结构主要体现为：文章是总分结构，还是按时间或空间顺序发
展的，还是辩证三段论的编排的。逻辑意义的严谨最主要的可以通过代词、连词和副词等形
式来体现。例如本文通过看首段及后续段落首句可知：是总分总的形式。本题中的第一题和
第三题就是利用段首句与段落内容的一致性解题。当空格位于段中时，就要首先考虑上下句
单词呼应。例如第二题 turn your head 与选项 E 中的 Always look the person in the eye 呼应，
第四题中的 say something like 与选项 C 中的 answer 呼应，第五题中的 Written forms of 24
communication can be tricky 与选项 F 中的 have someone else read it 呼应。所以拿到一篇文章，
同学们首先要根据篇章类型与空格位置推断使用什么方法解题，有助于加快解题速度。
【解析】

Hi, students! This is Ashley Jacobs, your student government president. (17) I have some
important information for everyone about activities on campus this year. I promise that there will 33
be something fun for everyone to do. Do you like sports? I know everyone is a fan of our football
team. And now there are two new teams at school this year. We have added a baseball team and a
swim team. (18) Or do you enjoy creative activities? Student government created an art club and a
music club for people with artistic abilities. Both of these groups have events all year long. The art
club hosts painting nights and trips to the local museum, and the music club goes to see shows at
the concert hall. (19) And don’t forget about the school newspaper for all the writers out there! We
pass out the paper every week for free on campus. Read it to keep up with all of the school news
and activities that I announced. I strongly recommend that you join a student organization. It is an
easy way to make good friends and have fun. Please consider joining one of these groups today.
