　　Ⅱ. 閱讀理解

　　An annoying problem for humans, who like to boast about all the distant planets and moons we have explored, is that we’ve never taken a good look right under our noses. The inside of the earth is relatively close, but how can we get there?

　　The deepest oil well enters only six miles into the crust(the center of the earth is about 4, 000 miles deeper). Russian scientists dug the deepest hole in Siberia, but bottomed out at about 7. 5 miles below the surface. The Mohole project, a U. S. plan in the 1950s, called for drilling a hole 25 miles down to the boundary between the hard rocks of the crust and the soft mantle. Sadly the project involved government supporting.

　　It gets harder and harder to drill deep into the earth because rocks get softer and softer. Hard but easily broken at the surface, rocks become plastic at depth, and the pressure caused by the weight of the overlaying crust—about 52, 800 pounds per square inch at a depth of ten miles, makes further drilling impossible.

　　What little we know about the inside of the earth comes from indirect evidence, such as the analysis of earthquakes.

　　So maybe it’s time for a thorough new method to explore the earth’s inside. Scientist David Stevenson says we should forget about drilling holes. Instead, we should open a crack.

　　Stevenson suggests digging a crack about a half mile long, a yard wide, and a half mile deep but with an explosion on the scale of a nuclear bomb. Next, he’d pour a few hundred thousand tons of molten iron into the crack, along with a robot. The iron, thicker than the surrounding crust, would move downward at about 16 feet per second, carrying the robot with it and opening the crack deeper and deeper. The iron mass would drop for about a week and 2, 000 miles to the outer edge of the earth core, the robot sending out data to the surface.

　　Stevenson compares his idea to space exploration. “We’re going somewhere we haven’t been before, ” he says. “In all possibility, there will be surprises. ”

　　This idea can probably be put in the drawer marked with “Isn’t Going To Happen” . The robot would have to survive temperatures that would melt pretty much anything. But Stevenson’s idea may inspire a new look at an old problem. Great things can come from what seems like impossible ideas. (410W)

　　Ⅲ. 閱讀第二節(jié)

　　下面文章中有5處(第1~5題)需要添加小標題。請從以下選項(A、B、C、D、E和F)中選出符合各段意思的小標題。選項中有一項是多余選項。

　　A. Meaning of forgiveness

　　B. Try to put yourself in that person’s shoes

　　C. Allow peace to enter your life

　　D. Understand your responsibility

　　E. Definition of forgiveness

　　F. Think about the advantages and disadvantages

　　1. 　?

　　We’ve all been hurt by another person at some time or another—we were treated badly, trust was broken and hearts were hurt. And while this pain is normal, sometimes that pain continues for too long. We experience the pain over and over, and have a hard time letting go. This causes problems. It not only causes us to be unhappy, but can ruin relationships, distract(使分心)us from work and family and other important things, make us unwilling to open up to new things and people. We get trapped in a cycle of anger and hurt, and miss out on the beauty of life as it happens. We need to learn to let go. We need to be able to forgive, so we can move on and be happy. It’s not easy, but you can learn to do it.

　　2. 　?

　　What problems does this pain cause you? Does it affect your relationship with this person? With others? Does it affect work or family? Does it stop you from realizing your dreams, or becoming a better person? Does it make you unhappy? Think of all these problems, and realize you need to change. Then think of the benefits of forgiveness—how it will make you happier, free you from the past and improve things with your relationships and life in general.

　　3. 　?

　　Try to understand why the person did what he did. What could he have been thinking, and what could have happened to him in the past to make him do what he did? What could he have felt as he did it, and what did he feel afterward? How does he feel now? You aren’t saying what he did is right, but are instead trying to understand.

　　4. 　?

　　Try to figure out how you could have been partly responsible for what happened. What could you have done to prevent it, and how can you prevent it from happening next time? This isn’t to say you are taking all the blame, or taking responsibility away from the other person, but to realize that we are not victims but participants in life.

　　5. 　?

　　As you focus on the present, try focusing on your breathing. Imagine each breath going out is the pain and the past, and imagine each breath coming in is peace, entering you and filling you up.

　　2.【解析】選D。考查動詞詞義辨析。fit多指 “(大小、尺寸等)適合, 吻合” ; suit多指 “合乎需要、口味、條件等” ; meet, satisfy常表示 “滿足(需要), 符合(要求)” 。

　　【變式備選】

　　Her shoes　her dress; they look very well together.

　　A. suit

　　B. fit

　　C. compare

　　D. match

　　【解析】選D。考查近義詞辨析。句意: 她的鞋和衣服很搭配, 二者搭配看起來很不錯。suit是指顏色、花樣或款式等相配; fit是大小、尺寸等合適; compare比較; match指兩個物品相稱、匹配。

　　3.【解析】選A。句意: 觀眾緊盯著魔術師, 對他表演的魔術戲法感到好奇。curious好奇的, 符合句意。anxious焦急的, 渴望的; astonished吃驚的; upset心煩的。

　　4.【解析】選A。句意: 努力并不能保證有一個好成績。你必須采用靈活的學習方法。guarantee保證, 擔保, 符合句意。connection連接, 聯系; permission允許, 批準; consequence結果, 成果。

　　【變式備選】

　　Can youme a job when I get there? You know, I have to work in order to pay for my schooling.

　　A. apply

　　B. arrange

　　6.【解析】選D。根據語境應是 “如果你想成功” , make one’s way除了表示 “到(某地), (向某地)行進” 之外, 還可表示 “成功; 有出息” 。make much of sb. 重視某人; make sth. out看清, 辨認清楚某物; make sb. out看透, 弄懂某人。

　　【變式備選】

　　(2024·南京模擬)The light bulb, invented by Edison in 1879, is about to disappear from our lives, 　to more energy-efficient lighting.

　　9.【解析】選C。由時間狀語two years ago可知此句應用一般過去時態(tài), 可排除A、D兩項。be on fire “著火” , 表狀態(tài)。be burnt to the ground表示 “全部焚毀” , 符合語境, 所以C項正確。

　　10.【解析】選B。考查獨立主格結構。名詞短語their lessons和動詞finish之間是被動完成關系, 故用過去分詞finished。

　　The car burns more fuel, but　all things into consideration, it’s still a good car.

　　A. taken

　　B. having taken

　　C. taking

　　D. to take

　　11.【解析】選D。考查動詞不定式。句意: 據說杰克在國外學習過, 但我不知道他上的是什么大學。根據句意, 在國外學習發(fā)生在過去, 故用不定式的完成時態(tài)。

　　12.【解析】選C。考查非謂語動詞。根據the old man與wait之間的關系, 應選擇v. -ing形式, 再根據句意得知他是先 “wait” 后 “realize” 。所以先發(fā)生的動作應該用完成時Having waited。

　　14.【解析】選D。句意: 有許多英語教學方法。但它們不一定都對我們中國學生同樣有效。A項應改成a variety of; B項意為 “準確的, 精確的” ; C項意為 “原始的” ; D項意為 “不同的, 多種多樣的” 。由句意可知選D。

　　15.【解析】選B。答語意為: 是的, 完全同意! 不能再好了。approximately大約; absolutely完全地; relatively相對地; fortunately幸運地。can’t be better為否定詞和比較級連用表示最高級的意思。

　　Ⅱ.

　　人們對于外部太空的探索可以引以為豪, 但對于地球內部的探索卻不太令人滿意。科學家們正努力尋找探索地球內部的有效方法。

　　1. 【解析】選D。細節(jié)理解題。從第一段第二句可以看出與探索太空相比較, 地球內部相對閉塞, 應該更富有挑戰(zhàn)性。

　　2. 【解析】選C。細節(jié)理解題。從第二段的 “Russian scientists dug the deepest hole in Siberia, but bottomed out at about 7. 5 miles below the surface. ” 可知, 到目前為止, 最深的是7. 5英里。
