A
Earth’s next superpower
The following countries have been sitting on hidden talents.And now they’re about to fly.
NIGERIA(尼日利亚)
Nigeria says it pumps out as much oil as the other two oil-producing countries,Kuwait and Iraq.All this oil is cycling cash into the Nigerian economy and creating extremely rich businessmen.Analysts say that if Nigeria can improve its schools and technology,it could balloon into the world’s 13th largest economy by 2050,right between Turkey and Italy.If that reason is not enough for optimism,Nigeria’s president also has the sunniest name of any world leader:Goodluck Jonathan.
VIETNAM
As agriculture has given way to industry,unemployment in Vietnam has dropped.
What’s Vietnam’s trick?It’s ready to work.Other countries’ laborers aren’t as cheap as they used to be,which makes Vietnam a relative bargain for companies that need new factories abroad.However,the country has almost no railroads,its highways are in poor condition,and its largest city has just one airport,which was built before the Vietnam War.So what’s the use of producing export-ready goods if there’s no convenient way to ship them?The good thing is,however,officials are widening highways,building a new airport and so on.
CHILE(智利)
Pipes,computers,motors,and your microwave all have one thing in common:They’re made with copper(铜).Copper makes the world go round.And lucky for Chile,it’s got about a third of the planet’s copper supply.It just needs a way to dig it up and the government is pouring money into the country’s mines.
【语篇导读】本文是应用文。文章介绍了三个极有希望成为下一个经济强国的国家。
1.Which country will Nigeria be expected to follow in respect of economy by 2050?
A.Kuwait. B.Iraq.
C.Turkey. D.Italy.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据NIGERIA部分中的“it could balloon into the world’s 13th largest economy by 2050,right between Turkey and Italy.”可知,分析人士认为,到2050年尼日利亚非常有希望在国家经济实力的排名中位列第13位,紧随土耳其之后。
2.What’s the problem Vietnam is facing?
A.It doesn’t have money to build new factories.
B.Its people don’t have enough food to eat.
C.It is suffering from the Vietnam War.
D.Its transport system is very poor.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据VIETNAM部分中的“the country has almost no railroads,its highways are in poor condition,and its largest city has just one airport,which was built before the Vietnam War.So what’s the use of producing export-ready goods if there’s no convenient way to ship them?”可以看出,越南的交通系统非常落后。
3.What will Chile depend on to get developed?
A.High technology.
B.Natural resources.
C.Investments from other countries.
D.The government’s good administration.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据CHILE部分中的“Copper makes the world go round.And lucky for Chile,it’s got about a third of the planet’s copper supply.”可知,铜在当今社会非常重要,而智利的铜矿资源约占世界铜矿资源的三分之一。由此可推测,智利的经济发展需要依靠自然资源。
B
Throughout the whole year,the 60 museums and theatres in Hannover,Germany,will feature one top event after another.
It bears the title of UNESCO(United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization)City of Music and takes its place in the international UNESCO network of Creative Cities.The range of musical education facilities(设施),the city’s impressive achievements in the music and creative business,the wide range of performances—from pop,rock and jazz right through to ancient,classical and new music —and its many top-class choirs(合唱团) were all factors that convinced the UNESCO Committee in Paris.
There is music in the air in Hannover all year round:the A cappella week(25 April-3 May) and the Masala World Beat Festival(17 June-28 June),for example,take their audiences on a pleasant trip.Every year on Ascension Day,Hannover is transformed into the capital of jazz when it attracts tens of thousands to listen to excellent jazz music from all over the globe.
“Simply making music”is the motto of the global music festival“Fête de la Musique”.Like hundreds of other cities throughout the world,Hannover celebrates this major festival for tolerance(包容) and international understanding on 21 June every year.Terrific(极好的) bands will take the stage at the NDR Plaza Festival and the N-Joy Starshow(29 & 30 May).Music lovers can also look forward to the Fāhrmannsfest(31 July-2 August).
Every year,visitors can find out for themselves just how good Hannover Region sounds during the “Kultursommer”,when classical music events are on the bill in the HCC Kuppelsaal,the largest concert hall anywhere in Germany.In 2015,the International Joseph Joachim Violin Competition will be held between 27 September and 10 October.Every three years,Stiftung Niedersachsen invites outstanding young violinists from all over the world to compete here in Hannover.
【语篇导读】本文是说明文。汉诺威是德国下萨克森州的首府。由于其丰富的音乐活动和浓厚的艺术氛围,它被联合国教科文组织评为“音乐之城”。
4.What’s the second paragraph mainly about?
A.Why music is popular in Hannover.
B.What music we can enjoy in Hannover.
C.How to convince the UNESCO Committee.
D.What makes Hannover a UNESCO City of Music.
答案:D
解析:段落大意题。根据第二段中的“...all factors that convinced the UNESCO Committee in Paris.”可知,该段主要介绍了汉诺威被联合国教科文组织评为“音乐之城”的原因。
5.What can be inferred about Fête de la Musique?
A.It encourages people to make simple music.
B.It’s the biggest music event in Germany.
C.A variety of music is played during it.
D.It includes many music competitions.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段中的“‘Simply making music’is the motto of the global music festival‘Fête de la Musique’...Hannover celebrates this major festival for tolerance(包容) and international understanding...”可知,Fête de la Musique这一音乐节仅仅关乎音乐,并且体现了包容和国际化这一主题。由此可推测,在这一音乐节上会有不同类型的音乐被演奏。
6.Which of the following events lasts longest?
A.The fāhrmannsfest.
B.Fête de la Musique.
C.The N-Joy Starshow.
D.The Masala World Beat Festival.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。通读全文可知,四个音乐节的举办时间分别为7月31日~8月2日,6月21日,5月29、30日,6月17日~6月28日。由此不难看出,Masala World Beat Festival的持续时间最长。
7.The underlined words “Stiftung Niedersachsen” in the last paragraph is most probably the name of .
A.a university B.a famous band
C.an organization D.a famous person
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一句内容可知,Stiftung Niedersachsen每三年都会邀请全球范围内的优秀小提琴选手来汉诺威参加比赛,由此判断它应该是一个机构名称。
Ⅱ.七选五
SQ3R stands for Survey,Question,Read,Recite,Review.It is a proven technique to sharpen textbook reading skills.Here’s how this strategy works:
Survey
Get an idea of what the chapter is about by reviewing the highlights(最突出的部分):
1.
Take note of words that are italicized(斜体) or bold(黑体).
Look at charts,graphs,pictures,maps and other visual material.
Read the very beginning and end of the chapter.
Question
As you survey the text,ask a question for each section.2. You can create questions by:
Turning the title or subtitles into questions;
Rewriting the questions at the end of the chapter in your own words.
Questions help you pay attention,understand the text better,and recall the information more easily later on.
Read
Read one section of a chapter at a time,actively looking for an answer to your question for that section.Pay attention to bold and italicized text that authors use to make important points.Be sure to review everything in the section,including tables,graphs,and charts.3.
Recite
At the end of each section,find an answer to your question for that section.4. Be sure to provide examples that support it.Now repeat Question,Read and Recite steps for each section of the chapter or assigned reading.
Review
After reading,review your notes.Identify the main points of the reading by looking for the most important idea in each section.5.
Review your study notes and the summary every week to help you remember the information.When it’s time to study for your tests,you’ll find you’ve created an invaluable guide.
A.Read the titles and subtitles.
B.Then write down your answer.
C.First ask a question for the next section.
D.Write a brief summary of the chapter or assignment.
E.The written questions and answers will help you study in the future.
F.Ask what,why,how,when,who and where as they relate to the content.
G.These features can communicate an idea more powerfully than written text.
答案与解析:
【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章介绍了五步读书法,即:浏览、提问、阅读、复述、复习。
1.A 解析:根据本空前的内容可知,浏览的时候要特别注意书本中的突出部分。根据常识我们知道,“标题和副标题”在字体及字号等方面往往不同于正文,比较显眼。
2.F 解析:F项中的Ask符合五步读书法中的“提问”。
3.G 解析:本空前提示读者在阅读时要注意图表信息,因为“这些吸引人眼球的内容比文字更能有力地传达信息”。
4.B 解析:根据“复习”部分提到的notes可知,在复述时,不仅要解答之前提问的问题,还要“把答案写下来”,并要提供支持该答案的例证。
5.D 解析:根据常识及下段中的summary可知,在复习的时候要“写一个简单的总结”。
Ⅲ.书面表达

1.你最喜欢的话题(节日、餐桌礼仪等);
