　　36.C . 通读全文可知,作者是一个中国大学生,中国人学英语,尤其是初学者习惯使用英 汉词典.当作者看到英英词典的时候,他感到"吃惊".37.B.前后两句在意义上是让步关系,所以用 although 引导让步状语从句.而 A 项 because 引导原因状语从句;Unless 和 if'引导条件状语从句.38.A.此空格处是一个并列连词,连接前后两句.而前后两句之间存在的是转折关系,所以 用 but.39. A.最初用英英词典,不习惯,所以作者感觉用起来"很难 difficult".interesting 是"有 趣味的意思",根据下文 not fully understand the meaning 不可能是这个答案;ambiguous 是 "不明确的";practical 是"实用的",这两个词也不符合语境.40.C.句子中有否定词 not,有副词 fully,所以用 still,表示"仍然不能够完全"的意思.41.B.be used to 表示"习惯……,对作者来说习惯了双语词典,或者说是英汉词典.这里 指双语词典的使用对他来说是熟悉.42.A.此句是一个 in which 引导的定语从句,其中 words 是主语,根据常识在词典中单词的 意思是被"解释出来"的,所以用 explained.43.C.我真想知道我姑妈为什么决定这么为难我.其他三个词虽然都跟动词不定式,但是在 这里意思都不恰当.44.D.过去不理解,经过一段时间后,"明白了 understand";imagine 是"想象"的意思; recommend 是"推荐"的意思;predict 是"预测"的意思.45.B.此句中 monolingual dictionaries 和 bilingual dictionaries 比较,A 和 D 项没用比较级, better 强调更好,更实用,而 easier 则不可能.46.B.常见的情况是实际上两种语言之间的两个词没有完全的对应.in fact 表示"实际上, 事实上".at best 是"至多;充其量";at times 是"有时";in case 是"万一,以防", 显然 A,C,D 项不合语境.47.A.词典上重点的内容应该是单词.48.B.我姑妈甚至还声称汉语意思决不能给出一个单词的确切意思.49.A.前面的 a Chinese equivalent 和 the meaning of a word in English 对应,所表明还是对应 不准确的问题,所以用 exact.50. C.此空后面的句子和前面表示的是一种"因果"关系,所以用 therefore.51. A.表示"当……时候",用 when 引导时间状语从句.而 before 通常指"在……之前"; until 指"直到……时候";while 指"在……的同时".52. C.该句的谓语 have come to see 是表示"变化过程",所以用 gradually 表示"渐渐地".53. D.从后面的 around 2,000 可知词典中用于解释词义的词是限制在 2,000 左右.54. A.在有限的范围内,查阅阅读释义的话,就会反复接触基本词汇,学会这些词汇怎样 用来解释事物和观点,所以用 repeatedly 表示"反复地,经常地"55. D.后面主句部分 I can express myself more easily in English.表达的是结果,此处表达的 应该是原因,说明使用这种词典所带来的好处., 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

　　(2017·辽宁，B)

　　Going green seems to be a fad(时尚) for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can't really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.

　　On April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond the easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.

　　With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.

　　Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyles. We now shop at organic(有机的) stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don't need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of homemade fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.

　　Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.

　　文章大意：作者夫妇俩把绿色环保的生活作为了一种生活方式。不但自己在生活中注意绿色生活，还教育别的人拥有这种有利于环境保护的生活方式。

　　5．What might be the best title for the passage?

　　A．Going Green

　　B．Protecting the Planet

　　C．Keeping OpenMinded

　　D．Celebrating Our Green Year

　　答案：A　主旨大意题。本文在第一段开篇点题。全文围绕绿色生活展开叙述。故A项为本题答案。

　　6．It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because ________.

　　A．they were expected to follow the green fad

　　B．they didn't know how to educate other people

　　C．they were unwilling to reduce their energy

　　D．they needed to perform unusual green tasks

　　答案：D　推理判断题。从文章的第三段和第四段可知，作者夫妇要进行绿色生活必须要做一些不寻常的事情。故D项为正确答案。

　　7．What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year?

　　A．They tried to get out of their ungreen habits.

　　B．They ignored others' ungreen behavior.

　　C．They chose better chemical cleaners.

　　D．They sold their homemade food.

　　答案：A　细节理解题。从文章的第四段特别是第四段的最后一句话In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.可知答案。

　　8．What can we infer from the last paragraph?

　　A．The government will give support to the green project.

　　B．The couple may continue their project in the future.

　　C．Some people disagree with the couple's green ideas.

　　D．Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign.

　　答案：B　推理判断题。文章最后一段说的是作者一家对自己的绿色生活很满意，并且对于自己对环境的作用充满信心，故会继续自己的这种活动。

　　阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　Top lists are lecturing people on everything from “100 places to visit” to “100 books to read”. Aren't you just tired of being told what to do with your time?

　　Now you have a list to end all lists!

　　Take a look at the following two examples from the list of “101 things not to do”：

　　Swim with Dolphins(海豚)?

　　Swimming with dolphins is one of the world's most profitable tourist activities.However, not every dolphin will welcome having their busy, tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming and pushing around them in the water. Worse yet,

　　when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨)．

　　Here's a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they're just opening their mouths.

　　Go to See the Mona Lisa?

　　There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的) smile. The 6 million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year can't all be wrong, after all. But they can be quite annoying, standing in front of you; holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.

　　If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn't just be smiling, she'd be laughing.

　　So, still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list, read 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die. Visit www.not2dobeforeidie.co.uk and buy the book at a 20% discount.

　　1. According to the passage, swimming with dolphins ________.

　　A. is the world's most popular tourist activity

　　B. gives fun to both tourists and dolphins

　　C. will make tourists busy and tired

　　D. can cause danger to dolphins

　　2. What does the author think about going to see Mona Lisa?

　　A. It is wrong to go and see the mysterious smile.

　　B. It is not as satisfying as expected.

　　C. Fifteen seconds in front of the painting is enough.

　　D. Queuing for hours is worthwhile.

　　3. The list of “101 things not to do” is made most probably because its author ________.

　　A. thinks it boring to do the things suggested by other lists

　　B. believes other lists are not humorous enough

　　C. intends to persuade people to read more lists

　　D．wants to provide a list different from other lists

　　4. What is the main purpose of the passage?

　　A. To advertise a book.

　　B. To introduce a website.

　　C. To comment on popular

　　lists.

　　D. To recommend tourist activities.

　　【要点综述】该篇短文前面否定“100 lists to do”的种种弊端，最后推出自己的101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die，很明显是一则常见的广告。

　　. D　细节理解题。从Swim with Dolphins下面材料中的第一段最后一句可知和海豚一起游泳会给海豚带来危险。

　　. B　细节理解题。在Go to See the Mona Lisa的材料中，作者反复论证了go to see the Mona Lisa的诸多弊端，每年大量的游客前往参观，个人不可能有预想的观赏效果。

　　. D　推理判断题。该文采取先抑后扬的写作技巧，其目的是要提出不同的观点。

　　. A　写作意图题。该篇材料最后点出写作目的，即为101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die打广告。
