8.Westminster Abbey,the gothic church,stands in the heart of modern London overlooking the River Thames and Houses of Parliament.It started as a small monastery(修道院),(33)founded (found) in the year 960by King Edgar,but soon became one of the most important churches in the kingdom.
King Edgar was the first monarch(34)to be buried (bury) there in 1065.In the mid 13th Century,King Henry III decided to rebuild it as a great gothic cathedral to rival(与…相匹敌)(35)those in France.
All monarchs have been crowned there(36)since William the Conqueror in 1066,and many monarchs have married in the Abbey,(37)most recently(recently) Prince William and Catherine Middleton.
But Westminster Abbey isn't just about royalty.Many of the greatest people in British history are buried or commemorated there-artists,scientists,thinkers-there isn't even a"poet's corner"built up(38)around the grave of 14th-century poet Geoffrey Chaucer.
Westminster Abbey tells the story of ordinary British people too.Parts of the Abbey were destroyed in booming raids(空袭)during World War II(39)but services went on throughout the war.On May 8,1945,the V-E(Victory in Europe)Day,a thanksgiving service was held there.Westminster Abbey stood for courage and British spirit.
(40)Even if/Even though you are not a Christian,it is impossible not to feel a sense of something otherworldly(超脱尘俗地) when you enter Westminster Abbey-and that goes for tourists,ordinary Londoners,or students getting ready for another Friday at school.

分析 文章大意:本文主要介绍了哥特式教堂--Westminster Abbey.

解答 33.founded.考查非谓语作定语的用法.有"被建造"的含义,故使用过去分词表被动态.
34.to be buried.考查非谓语动词.不要忘了固定表达方式"the first/second…to do sth.".又因为是"被埋葬",所以使用被动态.
35.those.考查代词,意为"与法国那些相匹敌的大教堂".
36.since.考查连词.看到后面的时间点和主句的现在完成时时态,考生应如条件反射似地想到连词since.
37.most recently.考查副词最高级.看到提示词是副词切勿改变其词性,如改成形容词等.只需改比较级或最高级.此处根据上下文意,意为"最近,刚刚".
38.around.考查介词,意为在坟墓周围.
39.but.考查转折连词.状语从句里没有合适的,别忘了并列连词哦.
40.even if/even though.考查连词.两格的连接词很有限,我们昂立的高考课程上都给大家归纳过.这里填入让步状语从句连词最合适.

点评 这篇语法填空题对考生的词汇量及背景知识提出了较高的要求.没有背景知识的同学会越看越头疼,进而可能影响做题正确率.所以考生平时要注意积累.

3.The U.S.government,which played as"the world judge of human rights,"made attacks on the human rights situation in almost 200countries and regions again in its newly-issued Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2013.However,the U.S.carefully avoided mentioning its own human rights problems.In fact,there were still serious human rights problems in the U.S in 2013,with the situation in many fields  deteriorating.
The number of violent crimes has risen sharply.The U.S.listed 1,214,464violent crimes in 2012,of which 14,827are murders,84,376rapes,354,522robberies and 760,739serious violent attacks.
The U.S.government took freedom in monitoring (监控) its citizens,which shocked the world.Edward Snowden,a former CIA employee,disclosed a monitoring program carried out by the U.S.government.Under the program,the government rudely tracked citizens'private emails,chats,audio and video data,documents and photos,identifying their locations,their traveling companions,and other personal information.
The U.S.citizens'economic rights are still under challenge.Unemployment rates are high in the US.In 2007,nearly 80% people aged 25to 54in the U.S.had a job.In 2013,only about 76% people in that age group were working.Wealth gap in the US is widening.More than 47million U.S.people living in poverty in 2012,and the poverty rate reached 15%.About 6.4million people aged 65and older were poor.The current gap between America's rich and poor is the widest in history from 2012all the way back to 1913.The richest 10percent's share of total income was 50.4% in 2012.
According to a survey carried out in 2012,at least 136African-Americans were killed by policemen or security guards in the year.A latest report said that despite the fact that drug use was about the same for both black and white Americans,blacks were four times as likely as whites to be arrested for drug possession.
Some mainstream media,social organizations and politicians declare racist comments.On October 16,2013,American Broadcasting Company's Jimmy Kimmel Show aired a remark saying"kill everyone in China"and promoted racial hatred.It aroused unease and protests from Asian Americans especially Chinese Americans.
Sex discrimination(歧视) is still serious,and children's rights are not well protected in the United States.Women are facing serious employment discrimination.On average,women made about 81% of the earnings of male full-time wage and salary.Women's average annual income is $11,500less than that of men's.Women experienced frequent violent and sexual attacks.

A.the writer of the report

53.Which of the following shows wealth gap in the US is greatB?
A.80% people aged 25to 54in the U.S.had a job.
B.10% rich people own 50.4% of the total income.

17.One Sunday a few of us decided to take advantage of the first sunny day we'd have for ages to take a trip down to the coast to visit the penguins again.Last time I went down there was a couple of months ago and it was a dull cold day.Sunday couldn't have been more different-clear skies and sunshine made it feel like summer,although it was still-25°C.
Six of us drove to the coast.It was the first time we'd been off the base on our own without our field assistant,so it had a slightly different feeling-more like a few friends going to the seaside than an Antarctic field trip!When we reached Windy Creek,we luckily caught sight of quite a few small flying seabirds,which are seldom seen there.
Once on the sea ice we found that some of the more curious penguins had wandered over from the main group to come and check us out.We'd been told that then they were nursing their chicks (刚孵出的幼雏) and they would be more careful and nervous than last time,but that didn't seem to be the case. We walked across to the main group which were stretched for a couple of miles along the coast.We sat down for some sandwiches and soon found ourselves surrounded by many curious observers.Without any attackers on land,they were very brave and came within a meter of us to pose (摆姿势) for photos.
Before heading back,we spent a few hours on the sea ice watching the penguins and their chicks,which had grown dramatically (明显地) since our last visit.It was such a nice day.
56.When did the trip most probably happen?D
A.On a dull Sunday
B.On a warm Sunday.
C.On a summer Sunday
D.On a winter Sunday.
57.It can be inferred from the second paragraph that the six peopleB.
A.felt a little nervous       
B.felt a little excited
C.were left all by themselves on their Antarctic base
D.got bored with staying with their field assistant
58.What does the writer mean by saying"but that didn't seem to be the case"?C
A.They were told a lie.
B.A wrong decision was made.
C.The truth was the opposite.
D.They didn't believe what they were told.
59.The six people did the following during the trip EXCEPTA
A.feed the penguins
B.take pictures of the penguins
C.enjoy watching flying seabirds
D.watch the young penguins.
