【题目】 Given the size of the country, the climate in Australia varies greatly from one zone to the next. Generally speaking, there are four seasons across most of the country while the Top End (including Darwin, Katherine, Kakadu and Arnhem Land), Broome, the Kimberley and Tropical North Queensland experience a ‘wet season’ ( November to April) and a ‘dry season’ (May to October).

It’s also important to remember that Australia’s seasons are at opposite times to those in the Northern Hemisphere (半球). So if you’re looking for an endless summer, just head Down Under as things start to cool off in the Northern Hemisphere.

Summer in Australia falls between December and February and is famous for sunny days with high temperatures. It’s the wet season in the tropical north (November to April), which is characterised by monsoonal (季风) rains. Many tourism operations are closed for the season, so are some national parks (such as Kakadu) due to flood risks. The same period is also the official hurricane season for areas around Cairns, although storms can also occur outside of this period.

For the ideal Australian summer, head to the southern parts of the country where you’ll find hot, sunny days to enjoy the unbelievable experiences on offer. The great weather encourages a steady flock of visitors to the country’s beautiful beaches to swim, surf or just relax. Celebrate the new year like a true Australian—with a beach barbecue—or visit Sydney for their internationally famous New Year’s Eve fireworks display. It’s a popular time for travel in Australia, both for local families and international visitors. Check the school holiday calendar for more information on break periods, and remember to book your accommodation in advance to avoid disappointment.

这是一篇说明文。主要说明了澳大利亚不同地区的气候差异很大,一般来说,大部分地区有四个季节。澳大利亚北部夏季高温,而澳大利亚南部夏季气候适宜,宜人的天气吸引了大批游客前往该国美丽的海滩游泳、冲浪或放松身心。

1细节理解题。根据第一段中Broome, the Kimberley and Tropical North Queensland experience a wet season ( November to April) and a dry season (May to October).(布鲁姆、金伯利和地处热带的北昆士兰经历了一个“雨季”(11月至4)和一个“旱季”(5月至10)。)以及分析选项可知在布鲁姆的旱季是9月份。故选B

2词义猜测题。结合上文Its also important to remember that Australias seasons are at opposite times to those in the Northern Hemisphere. So if youre looking for an endless summer可知澳大利亚的季节与北半球的季节是相反的。所以如果你想要一个漫长的夏天,那就去澳大利亚。可知划线短语指代“澳大利亚”,故选C

3细节理解题。根据第三段中Summer in Australia falls between December and February and is famous for sunny days with high temperatures. Its the wet season in the tropical north (November to April), which is characterised by monsoonal rains.(澳大利亚的夏天在12月到2月之间,以阳光灿烂的高温天气而闻名。这是热带北部的雨季(11月到4),其特点是季风性降雨。)可知夏天澳大利亚北部的主要特点是恶劣的天气。故选A

词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一,可以大致分为

定义猜词,可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer tobe calledthats to saysuch as等。

逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义,例如,similarly,the same as,but,however,while,on the other hand,since ,because等,所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。

语法猜词,可以根据构词法,再结合上下文进行猜词。

语境猜词,猜测词义离不开上下文的语境,通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析,同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。

指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容,做题时要注意指代词的位置,以便于判断,然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词,核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致,最后比较所找部分与选项,确定意思最接近的选项。

如第二小题,结合上文Its also important to remember that Australias seasons are at opposite times to those in the Northern Hemisphere. So if youre looking for an endless summer可知澳大利亚的季节与北半球的季节是相反的。所以如果你想要一个漫长的夏天,那就去澳大利亚。可知划线短语指代“澳大利亚”,故选C

【题目】阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

It was 1st January, the first day of the year and a holiday for me. What luck! I decided to withdraw some money from the bank, The bank person, an elderly gentleman with a white beard, replied indifferently as usual to my polite “Happy New Year.” He nodded and I sat in front of him.

Minutes passed but he didn’t raise his head.

Then very hesitantly I put my form and booklet in front of him. He was busy filling up entries in his register. After a few minutes he took my form and from his cabinet he took out a very thick file, from which he started filling in my details, I sat there wondering why we had computerized banking if we were still filling in forms and register.

After waiting for a few more minutes, in which I showed all signs of being impatient, I asked him if my work was done. The moment I said the words, I felt as if a bomb had fallen on him. He shouted, “Nothing is done, it will take time!”

Just then I saw his morning cup of tea which had been lying there for the last ten minutes, untouched. The tea had tuned almost cold while he was doing his work. Suddenly I felt what this man, who had been working at this counter for the last God-knows-how-many years, must be feeling when customers like me come who are always in a hurry to get their work done. We do not even feel the need to thank them for being there, He must be feeling so anxious that “here comes another person who will push me for doing his work first.”

【题目】阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式(每空至多3)

When an important holiday comes, I usually think of what gifts to buy or prepare for my family members. It is the act itself rather than the thing you buy that 1(matter). Either a small present, a text message or a phone call can mean a lot to the receivers. 2, I had never got anything from my son, who is a university student. Parents never forget to celebrate their children’s birthday, but their children seem to be very 3 (forget). They seldom do something in return.

Life is unpredictable, and you never know what will happen tomorrow. When my son came back during the summer vacation, my wife and I, as usual, 4 (meet) him at the station. 5arriving home, much to my surprise, my son took out a wrist watch and gave it to me, 6 (say) it was a birthday gift for me. It is a very fashionable watch, 7 shows not only hours, minutes and seconds but days as well. You can imagine how surprised and excited I was at that moment.

Some people say children get too much care and love from their parents and just take them for granted. It is natural for people to have such concerns and 8(worry), but things may not turn out as badly as9 (expect). We need to look more at the positive side of life, as a famous writer once said, “Life is 10best classroom one can never get.”
