应用文(参考范文)
Dear Jim,
How is everything going? Exceedingly delighted to know that you are organizing a club activity
entitiled "Green Beijing" , I am dropping a line to offer some detailed suggestions.
In terms of the activity format,with the increasing popularity of short videos, it is strongly
recommend to hold a short video competition regarding the theme, which is a good opportunity to
promote the awareness of environmental protection. Moreover, various aspects of green Beijing
can be filmed, including garbage classification , garbage recycling, low-carbon life, pubic
transportation, clothes recycling, and so on, thus making the activity more comprehensive as well
as meaningful. Then will be followed by a vote to the most prominent video in the major medias
attaching the topic of "Green Beijing". Not only is it beneficial to enhance the sense of
environmental protection to students but also to other public citizens.
I hope my advice will be of benefit to you and wish this activity will be a success.
Yours,
Lihua
读后续写(参考范文):
Finally, we presented Missy’s father with the car and the inquire began. Under the continuous
inquiries, Missy unhurriedly cooked up her story, while I stood there in silent agreement. After
Missy finishing her seemingly perfect statement, her father raised his eyebrows and turned to me,
waiting for my proof. However, once again, I chose silence under his skeptical eyes with my heart
pounding violently. Suddenly, he walked over to the dented area for a closer inspection. It was at
that point that pieces of bark fell out from the tree. At the sight of these clear dents, Missy’s father
obviously couldn’t accept her version of the event.
Her father looked at me with great disbelief. An enormous sense of guilt rose up inside me as his
disappointed eyes seemed to suggest I was a “guilty” bystander. I was so nervous that I wanted to
explain but was interrupted by his harsh words, “You guys really failed me! Especially...” Instead
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司of continuing his remarks, he took a deep breath and turned his back on me. It dawned on me that
the precious but fragile trust had been destroyed by my silence. In fact, the process of how we
admitted our mistake and apologized to his father was just a blur, but the bitter lesson of
being a silent accomplice(共犯) leaves a lasting mark on my memory.

23. 推理判断题。由第一段-Below is a screenshot of book review on a bestseller MLire

【解析】 这是一篇说明交。文章主要介绍了美国和加拿大研究人员的一项新研究----在北
美发现的保护农作物的近2000种地面甲虫并不是都能在气候变化中生存下来。
28. 细节理解题。根据第一段中"But a new study by researchers in the US and Canada
suggests not all of the nearly 2,000 species of ground beetles found in North America
will survive climate change. Some could decline.(但美国和加拿大研究人员的一项新研究表
明，在北美发现的近2000种地面甲虫并不是都能在气候交化中生存下来。一些可能会减
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司少。)”可知，北美的这项新研究表明，一些地面甲虫将无法在气候变化中生存。故送B项。
29. 推理判断题。根据第三段“We found that less mobile, nonflying ground beetles,
which are critical pest control agents, are more likely to decline over time in a warmer,
dryer climate,' said Tong Qiu, who led the study. 'That means you're going to have more
pests that can impact agricultural and forest ecosystems. ' But there is reason for hope,
Qiu added, because the analysis also showed that habitat conservation can lessen these
effects and reverse the trends in some areas.(该研究的负责人佟邱说： 我们发现，在温暖
干燥的气候中，流动性较差、不能飞行的地面甲虫更有可能随着时间的推移而减少，而地
面甲虫是重要的害虫控制剂。这意味着会有更多的害虫影响农业和森林生态系统。但我们
有理由抱有希望，邱补充说，因为分析还表明，栖息地保护可以减经这些影响，并在一些
地区扭转趋势。）”以及第四段"We hope conservation biologists will use this information
and the online map that we created to better manage habitats for insects in
general.Ground beetles are very beneficial to ecosystems, but they're largely invisible to
the average person. In this paper we're showing the broad impacts they have on whole
communities in forested and agricultural ecosystems,’ said Qiu（邱说：“我们希望保护
生物学家能够利用这些信息和我们创建的在线地图来更好地管理昆虫的栖息地。地面甲虫
对生态系统非常有益，但普通人基本上看不见它们。在这篇论文中，我们展示了它们对整
个森林和农业生态系统社区的广泛影响。)可知，在第3段和第4段想表达，地面甲虫的
重要性应该得到广泛的认识。故选D项。
30.推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers used ground beetle count data from the
National Science Foundation's National Ecological Observatory Network ( NEON) and
from 11 previously published studies to measure and map the beetles' distribution across
North America. Habitat information，such as the location of gaps in forest canopies and
the density of plants on a forest floor, was obtained by using NEON's imaging
instruments to create detailed three-dimensional images of landscapes. They then entered
the data collected into a computer model to simulate (模拟) climate changes to study how
the insects would respond.（研究人员使用了来自美国国家科学基金会国家生态观测网络
(EON)和11项先前发表的研究的地面甲虫数量数据，来测量和绘制甲虫在北美的分布。通
过使用NEON的成像仪器创建详细的三维景观图像，可以获得诸如森林冠层间隙位置和森
林地面植物密度等栖息地信息。然后，他们将收集到的数据输入计算机模型来模拟气候变
化，以研究昆虫会如何反应。）”可知，研究小组通过分析数据来开展这项研究。故选 A
项。
31.主旨大意题。根据第一段中“The success of many North American crops partly
depends on ground beetles, small insects that eat pests and weed seeds that could
otherwise damage crops. But a new study by researchers in the US and Canada suggests
not all of the nearly 2,000 species of ground beetles found in North America will survive
climate change. Some could decline.(许多北美作物的成功部分取决于地面甲虫，一种吃害
虫和杂草种子的小昆虫，否则会破坏作物。但美国和加拿大研究人员的一项新研究表明，
在北美发现的近 2000 种地面甲虫并不是都能在气候变化中生存下来。一些可能会减
少。）”可知，本文主要介绍了一项新研究表明，在北美发现的保护农作物的近 2000种地
面甲虫并不是都能在气候变化中生存下来，为了保护它们，研究人员通过分析数据开展进
一步研究。C项“气候威胁下拯救作物甲虫”符合题意，为文章最佳标题。故选C项。
【答案】32.B 33.C 34.D 35.A
这是一篇说明文，主要分析了冬李风暴导致德克萨斯州北部的树木"爆炸"这一现象。
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司32. 词义猜测题。划线词That是指示代词，往往指代前文内容，所以线索指向第一段。由
第一段From cowboy hats and cattle to barbecue and footb all, Texas is known for many things.
One thing t he Lone Star State is not known for, however, is winter weather.(从牛仔帽和牛到烧
烤和足球，得克萨斯州以很多东西闻名。然而，孤星州有一件事并不为人所知，那就是冬
天的天气)”关键词however可知，转折后的内容是重点，所以此处that指代在得克萨斯州，
并不是所有人都知道冬天的天气。故答案为B。
33. 细节理解题。根据第四段"The phenomenon ofexploding trees" isn't as unusual or as
terrifying as it sounds, according to Janet, who says trees often freeze and burst as a result of rapid
temperature shifts. (Janet认为“树木爆炸”的现象并不像听起来那么不寻常或可怕，她说，
由于气温的快速变化，树木经常会结冰和爆裂)可知，Janet认为是由于天气的快速变化导
致树木爆炸。故答案为C。
34. 主旨大意题。根据第五段"In trees that aren‘ t completely inactive, cold weather causes tree
sap to freeze. When that happens, the sap expands beyond what the tree's bark can contain. And
so, the tree splits in places that can't cope with the pressure, creating cracks known as "frost
cracks". Although trees do not actually explode into pieces when frost cracks happen, there may
be loud noises and visible fractures (折断），and heavy branches can fall to the ground（在那些
不是完全不活跃的树木中，寒冷的天气会导致树液冻结。当这种情况发生时，树液会膨胀
到超出树皮所能容纳的范围。因此，树木在无法承受压力的地方裂开，形成了被称为"霜裂
缝”的裂缝。虽然霜裂发生时树木不会爆炸成碎片，但可能会有很大的噪音和可见的裂缝
(折断），沉重的树枝可能会掉落到地上)”可知，本段详细描述了为什么天气的急剧变化会
导致树木爆炸，所以D选项"树木爆炸的原因"贴合本段主旨。故答案为D。
35. 推理判断题。根据尾段中的"From midwinter to early spring this can occur when the
temperature swings, snow melts and warm sun, cold nights work in harmony．（从仲冬到初春，
气温波动，积雪融化，温暖的太阳和寒冷的夜晚和谐相处，就会出现这种情况）和"It is
usually nothing to be too concerned about; the tree will start to heal just as quickly.（这通常没什
么好担心的；这棵树很快就会开始愈合)”可推测出Mackenzie 认为树木爆炸是一种常见的
自然现象，没有什么好担心的，所以A选项"树木爆炸是一种自然现象"符合题意。故答案
为A。
【答案】36. F 37. A 38. E 39. G 40. B
【解析】这是一篇说明文。介绍了音盲这一群体，以及他们对此的感受和因此面临的问题。
【36题详解】
根据上文“People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical
notes (音调).(音盲天生就没有识别或再现音符的能力)”可知，这些人很难区分歌曲。下文
“Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the
musical scale.(只有当两个音符在音阶上相距很远，他们才能听到它们之间的区别)”也说明
他们欠缺这种能力。选项F“Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs.
(音盲总是无法区分两首歌的区别)”也是在讲这种能力的缺乏，与上下文关联紧密。故选 F
项。
【37题详解】
根据下文“Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other.(许多
音盲把音乐的声音比作金属片互相撞击)”可知，音乐对他们而言，并不美妙，像金属互撞
的噪音。选项A“Songs sound like noise to an amusic.(对音盲而言，歌曲听起来像噪音)”与下
文关联紧密。故选A项。
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司【38题详解】
根据上文“That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music.
(这就是为什么许多音盲故意远离有音乐的地方)”可知，这些人想要远离有音乐的场所、场
合，这就是一种退缩，这种现象容易造成与社会的脱节，被孤立。选项E“However, this can
result in withdrawal and social isolation.(然而，这可能导致退缩和社会孤立)”将这种现象呈现
出来，与上文关联紧密。故选E项。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems
understanding ordinary speech.(音盲能很好地理解其他非音乐声音。他们理解普通的言语也
没有问题)”可知，这些人只是对音乐这一种声音的理解有障碍，这和红绿色盲很相似，也
是看不清特定颜色。选项 G“Scientists compare amusics to people who just can’t see certain
colors.(科学家们把音盲比作看不清特定颜色的人)”，与上文关联紧密。故选G项。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed(诊断). For years,
Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music.(当他们的病情最终被诊断出来时，许
多音盲都很高兴。多年来，Margaret一直对自己的音乐声音问题感到尴尬)”可知，这些人
没接受诊断前，都因为这个问题感到苦恼，觉得自己很另类。由此推知，空处陈述他们确
诊后的表现或反映。选项B“Now she knows that she is not alone.(现在她知道了，并非她一个
人有这个问题)”符合题意。故选B项。

the capital of the province, right?
W: People often think it is because it’s the biggest city in the province, but it’s not actually the
capital. Quebec City is the capital. The St. Lawrence River runs right through the middle of the
city. It’s beautiful in the winter. A lot of buildings have been nicely restored. Some of them were
built in the 17th and 18th centuries. You’ll love it.
M: Great! I can’t wait to go!

M: Have you ever wished that you could exchange your parents for new ones who wouldn't force
you to go to school，tidy your bedroom，do your homework or eat your vegetables? Well，it
might be time to go to The Parent Agency to get your dream parents.
In this book，a nine-year-old boy called Barry goes to The Parent Agency with a list of 10 reasons
why he doesn't like his parents; things like being really strict. He is given a 5-Day Parent Trial
Package with 5 different sets of new parents，who each have to give him a 10th birthday party，
so that he can decide which parents he wants to live with in future. He spends the next 5 days
with the different dream parents and has a party with each of them.
However，when he cannot decide which parents he likes best，the story gets very interesting…
I enjoy this book because it is full of imagination and the pictures add to the humor in the book. I
think this book will appeal to girls and boys. If your teacher read it aloud，it would make the
whole class laugh. I'd like to say，it's worthwhile to read for anyone aged 7-11.
