　　B.to write

　　C.written

　　D.being written

　　答案　C

　　解析　考查非谓语动词。句意为：这本书写作思路清晰且富有思想，在那些希望自己寻求答案的学生中激发了自信心。write与其逻辑主语the book存在逻辑上的动宾关系，且动作已经完成，故用过去分词作状语。

　　2.

　　A.Find

　　B.Finding

　　C.To find

　　D.Found

　　答案　B

　　解析　考查非谓语动词作状语。句意为：发现这门课程很难，她决定转向难度更低的课程。本句主语she与find之间为主谓关系，故用现在分词作状语。

　　C.To stay

　　D.Stay

　　B.being thrown

　　C.to throw

　　D.to be thrown

　　答案　A

　　解析　考查非谓语动词。句意为：阳光明亮刺眼，在地上投下轮廓分明的影子。C项不定式表将来或目的，与语境不符，故逗号后面用doing形式作伴随状语；逻辑主语the sunlight和throw之间是主动关系，排除B、D两项。

　　5.The research lacks

　　evidence，and therefore，its conclusions are doubtful.

　　A.solid

　　B.fierce

　　C.severe

　　D.potential

　　8.By the time Jack returned home from England，his son

　　from college.

　　A.graduated

　　B.has graduated

　　C.had been graduating

　　D.had graduated

　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　A

　　Couple of weeks ago，a few friends and I had an opportunity to attend a dear friend’s wedding in New York.After the wedding and reception，rather serendipitously(意外收获地) four of us gathered in a hotel room and began to explore the deeper meaning of life and death.What does it mean to live truly？If we are all getting closer to death，is all the material accumulation worth it？It is not exactly the type of conversations one has at a wedding.

　　While the answers varied from person to person，I was left with more questions than answers and a feeling of gratefulness to be surrounded by friends who were asking the ‘right’ questions.As the clock kept ticking past 3 am，one of the roommates suggested we watch a short film titled Last Days of Zach Sobiech.The premise of the film is about a teenager’s journey through the last days of his terminal illness.The film brought up a lot of mixed emotions but one quote that stood out for me was Zach’s simple explanation of happiness，“what makes one happy is seeing someone else smile because you put it there.” By 4 am，there was this energy in the room that had to be shared! With a few packages of post­it notes and sharpies，we hit the halls of the hotel.We decided to leave short inspirational words on guests’ doors，so when they open their doors few hours later a smile would turn up.

　　We ended up tagging all the doors until we ran out of post­it notes.The door of the newlyweds properly said，“Where there is love，there is life.”

　　C.Zach’s terminal illness.

　　D.Zach’s mixed emotions.

　　答案　B

　　解析　细节理解题。由第二段第四句可知，这部电影给作者留下最深刻的印象的是Zach对幸福的简单解释。

　　A.They made a smile card with different words for all the doors of the hotel.

　　B.They helped the people who were in the hotel where they stayed.

　　B

　　(2015·四川，D)

　　Their cheery song brightens many a winter’s day.But robins are in danger of wearing themselves out by singing too much.Robins are singing all night—as well as during the day，British­based researchers say.

　　David Dominoni，of Glasgow University，said that light from street lamps，takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds’ biological clock，leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep.

　　Dr Dominoni，who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns，said lack of sleep could put the birds’ health at risk.His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab，it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day.And the more birds are exposed to light，the more active they are at night.

　　He told people at a conference，“There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing.Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy.So by increasing their song output，there might be some costs of energy.”

　　And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light.Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more nocturnal.Dr Dominoni said，“In Glasgow where I live，gulls are a serious problem.I have people coming to me saying ‘You are the bird expert.Can you help us kill these gulls？’.During the breeding(繁殖) season，between April and June，they are very active at night and very noisy and people can’t sleep.”

　　Although Dr Dominoni has only studied light pollution，other research concluded that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise.

　　However，some birds thrive(兴旺) in noisy environments.A study from California Polytechnic University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industrial machinery.It is thought that they are capitalising on their predators(天敌) fleeing to quieter areas.

　　20.According to Dr Dominoni’s study，what caused robins to sing so much?

　　A.The breeding season.

　　B.The light in modern life.

　　C.The dangerous environment.

　　D.The noise from heavy machinery.

　　答案　B

　　解析　细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“David Dominoni，of Glasgow University，said that light from street lamps，takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds’ biological clock，leading to them being wide awake...”以及第三段最后一句可知，是现代生活中的灯光使得知更鸟唱歌太多。故选择B。

　　21.What is the researchers’ concern over the increase of birds’ song output?

　　A.The environment might be polluted.

　　B.The birds’ health might be damaged.

　　C.The industry cost might be increased.

　　D.The people’s hearing might be affected.

　　答案　B

　　解析　细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy.”可知，唱歌唱得越多，鸟类就会损耗更多的精力，它们的健康也会因此受到损害。故选择B。

　　22.What does the underlined word “nocturnal” in Paragraph 5 mean?

　　A.Active at night.

　　B.Inactive at night.

　　C.Active during the day.

　　D.Inactive during the day.

　　答案　A

　　解析　词义猜测题。根据上文的“And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light.Blackbirds and seagulls are also being...”以及本段最后的“...they are very active at night...”可知，这里的nocturnal与前面的awake应该是近义词，意为“夜间活动的”。故选A。

　　23.Why do some birds thrive in noisy environments?

　　A.Because there are fewer dangers.

　　B.Because there is more food to eat.

　　C.Because there is less light pollution.

　　D.Because there are more places to take shelter.

　　答案　A

　　解析　细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后一句“It is thought that they are capitalising on their predators(天敌)fleeing to quieter areas.”可知，它们的天敌都去了更安静的地方，在这些工业区，天敌更少，也就是危险更少，可知选A。
