25、 themselvesC what people feel but find it hard to describeDhow people go through life语篇解读 文章向我们介绍了诗歌的重要性和本质。29解析：句意推测题。People seldom feel neutral about poetry 是第一段的主题句，从下文所陈述人们对诗歌的态度可知，一般说来，人们认为诗歌要么非常重要，要么一点用也没有。答案：D30解析：推理判断题。从第一段最后两句可知，作者认为诗歌往往能够表达出人的真正感受。答案：A31解析：观点态度题。由第一段最后一句“Poetry is an exper
26、ience of words，and those who know how to read poetry can easily extend their experience of life，their sense of what other people are like，their awareness of themselves，and their range of human feelings”可知，诗歌不仅仅是语言，而且通过读诗，可以收获很多。答案：A32解析：推理判断题。由第二段“Poems provide，in fact，a language for feeling，and one
27、 of poetrys most outstanding values involves its attempt to express the inexpressible.”一句可知，人们不断地通过诗来表达难以表达的感情。答案：CDLife in the ClearTransparent animals let light pass through their bodies the same way light passes through a window.These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a
28、depth of about 3,300 feetas far as most light can reach.Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch.Sonke Johnsen， a scientist in biology，says ， “These animals live through their life alone.They never touch anything unless theyre eating it，or unless something is eating t
29、hem.”And they are as clear as glass.How does an animal become see-through？Its trickier than you might think.The objects around you are visible because they interact with light.Light typically travels in a straight line.But some materials slow and scatter(散射)light， bouncing it away from its original
30、path.Others absorb light，stopping it dead in its tracks.Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it，so you can see it easily.But a transparent object doesnt absorb or scatter light，at least not very much.Light can pass through it without bending or stopp
31、ing.That means a transparent object doesnt look very different from the surrounding air or water.You dont see ityou see the things behind it.To become transparent，an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light.Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments(色素 )tha
32、t absorb specific colors of light.But a transparent animal doesnt have pigments，so its tissues wont absorb light.According to Johnsen，avoiding absorption is actually easy.The real challenge is preventing light from scattering.Animals are built of many different materialsskin，fat，and moreand light mo
33、ves through each at a different speed.Every time light moves into a material with a new speed，it bends and scatters.Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering.Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat.Without much tissue to scatter light，it is easier to be see-through.Ot
34、hers build a large，clear mass of non-living jelly-like(果冻状的)material and spread themselves over it.Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge，because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does.They need to look uniform.But how
35、 theyre doing it is still unknown.One thing is clear：for these larger animals，staying transparent is an active process.When they die，they turn a non-transparent milky white.33According to Paragraph 1，transparent animals_.Astay in groupsB can be easily damagedC appear only in deep oceanDare beautiful
36、 creatures34The underlined word “dead” in Paragraph 3 means_.Asilently BgraduallyC regularly Dcompletely35One way for an animal to become transparent is to_.Achange the direction of light travelB gather materials to scatter lightC avoid the absorption of lightDgrow bigger to stop light语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。
37、文章解释了生活在海洋中的透明生物的特点、透明原理以及形成机制。33解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的 Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch.可知，大部分的透明生物是非常脆弱的，仅碰一碰就会受到损害，故 B 项“很容易受到损害”正确。A 项“集体待在一起”和 D 项“是美丽的生物”在第一段中没有提到；根据第一段中的 between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet 可知，它们生活在海面与海面以下大约 3 300
38、英尺之间的海水中，故 C 项 “只出现在深海中”错误。答案：B34解析：词义猜测题。由第三段可知，我们能看到物体一类是因为它们减慢了光速和对光进行了散射，使其改变了原来的路线，而另外一类是因为它们对光线的吸收。既然吸收了，那么在光的传播过程中就被完全阻止了，因此这里 dead 意为“完全地” ，故选 D。答案：D35解析：细节理解题。根据第五段中的 To become transparent，an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light.可知，想变透明就要让身体避免对光线吸收或进行散射，因此 C 项“避免
39、光线的吸收”是其中的一个方法。A 项“改变光传播的方向” ，B 项中的 to scatter light(散射光) 和 D 项中的 to stop light(阻止光) 都是我们可看见物体的原因，不是透明生物的特点，均应予以排除。答案：C第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)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。Secret codes(密码) keep messages private.

40、ess, especially when information is sent by computer.People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags(落后 ) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, th
41、e first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels”spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”38 You might represent each letter with a number，for example. Lets number the letters of the alphabet，in order，from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter，the message “Meet me”would read “13 5 5 20
42、13 5.”A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences.To read the message of a real code，you must have a code book. 39 For example， “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.”The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.” 40 However，it is also hard to keep a
43、code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.AIt is very hard to break a code without the code book.B In any language, some letters are used more than others.C Only people who know the keyword can read the message.DAs long as there have been codes，people have tried to break them.EY
44、ou can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.FWith a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.GAnother way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。人们用密码来传递信息已有几千年历史。设置密码与破解密码的斗争也是永久不变
45、的话题。文中作者给我们介绍了三种主要类型的密码学，让我们一起来领略这门神秘科学的魅力吧！36解析：解本题可用关联逻辑法。空格前一句说“人们使用密码已有几千年了” ，空格后又说“破解密码从不远远落后于设置密码” ，由此语境可知选 D 项“只要有密码，人们就试图破解它们” 。本设空类型为过渡句类。答案：D37解析：解本题可用词汇锁定法。由空格后举例中的 the first letters 可锁定 E 项中的 the first letters。代入后，E 项“你可以隐藏一条信息，通过每个单词的首字母来把它拼写出来”符合语境，故为答案。本设空类型为过渡句类。答案：E38解析：解本题可用关联逻辑法。前
46、一段作者说有三种主要类型的密码学并介绍了第一种，根据逻辑关系可推知，本段应介绍第二种，故锁定 G 项 Another way to.。本设空类型为段落主题句类。答案：G39解析：解本题可用词汇锁定法。空格前说“要读取真正代码的信息，你必须要有一个密码本” ，由 a code book 可锁定 F 项中的 With a code book。F 项 “有了密码本，你可以写下代表其他单词的单词”符合上下文语境。本设空类型为过渡句类。答案：F40解析：解本题可用词汇锁定法。分析语境可知，该空仍然在谈论密码本的事情，由此可锁定 A 项“没有密码本很难破解密码” ，这与后一句“但是，长期保持密码本的秘密也
