B
?
You're
enjoying
a
quiet
evening
at
home
when
suddenly
your
neighbor's
dog
starts
barking
(吠叫)
and
doesn't
stop.
Sure,
dogs
need
to
bark
every
now
and
then,
but
if
the
barking
is
getting
in
the
way
of
your
daily
life,
you
need
to
do
something.
???
"Before
you
take
action,
make
records
of
when
the
dog
is
disturbing,"
says
expert
Sharon
Schweitzer.
"Record
the
dates
and
time
when
the
barking
appears
to
find
out
the
features
of
the
barking.
Check
them
carefully
and
get
your
facts
straight.
You
might
notice
the
barking
only
happens
when
the
owners
are
at
work,
or
during
thunderstorms."
???
After
two
to
three
weeks,
visit
your
neighbors
with
the
facts.
"Since
you're
trying
to
keep
a
good
relationship,
you
can't
go
when
you're
angry
and
frustrated,"
says
Schweitzer.
Plus,
your
neighbors
might
not
even
realize
the
barking
is
a
problem,
for
the
worst
noise
may
happen
when
they're
gone.
???
Explain
the
time
when
the
barking
gets
bad,
then
suggest
a
way
to
solve
the
problem.
"You
can
sit
and
complain
all
day,
but
that
will
go
nowhere,"
says
Schweitzer.
Ask
if
the
dog
can
stay
inside
during
the
storm,
or
suggest
a
dog
training
class.
Be
open
to
compromise
(妥协)because
the
owners
might
have
other
ideas
about
how
to
deal
with
the
noise.
???
Befriending
the
dog
could
help.
Have
your
neighbors
introduce
you
to
their
dogs.
"If
they
become
more
comfortable
in
your
presence,
they're
less
likely
to
bark
when
they
see
you
or
when
they're
in
the
backyard,"
says
Schweitzer.
You
might
even
be
able
to
use
commands
such
as
"quiet"
once
the
dog
trusts
you.
???
Avoid
gossiping
(说长道短)
with
other
neighbors
about
the
dog.
"That's
when
things
escalate."
After
all,
most
people
will
want
to
solve
the
problem.
1.What
can
you
do
first
when
the
barking
of
your
neighbor's
dog
influences
your
life?
A.Bring
the
dog
to
a
training
class.
B.Show
it
to
your
neighborhoods.
C.Drive
it
out
of
your
neighborhood.
D.Record
the
dates
and
time
of
the
barking.
2.Why
are
your
neighbors
less
likely
to
realize
the
barking
problem?
A.They
may
like
the
barking.
B.They
all
think
their
dogs
are
friendly.
C.They
have
been
used
to
the
barking
of
the
dogs.
D.They
may
be
out
when
the

barking
happens.

"escalate"
in
the
last
paragraph
probably
mean?

better.
B.Become
worse.

D.Become
more
personal.
4.What
can
be
inferred
from
the
text?

me,
love
my
dog.

dogs
seldom
bite.
C.Good
communication
is
a
must.
D.Treat
violence
with

(暴力).

???
A
typical
school
day
in
the
UK
starts
around
8:
30
am.
This
is
often
even
earlier
elsewhere
in
the
world,
with
students
sitting
down
to
their
first
lesson
at
7:30
am
in
the
US.
The
average
teenager
ideally
needs
eight
to
nine
hours'
sleep
each
night,
but
in
reality
a
lot
of
teenagers
struggle
to
get
this
much.
A
lot
of
the
problems
happen
because
our
sleep
patterns
are
not
fixed,
and
they
change
as
we
grow.
???
So
a
later
school
start
time
could
help
to
solve
this
problem,
by
ensuring
to
get
their
eight
plus
hours'
sleep
and
react
properly
to
their
body's
natural
rhythms(节律).
There
has
been
a
general
change
over
the
past
25
years
to
shorten
the
school
day.
This
is
not
at
the
cost
of
teaching
time
(which
has
remained
constant)
but
at
the
cost
of
natural
breaks,
which
has
led
to
reduced
lunch
time
and
lesson
breaks.
???
A
later
start
time
could
help
teens'
grades
and
health.
This
is
mainly
because
it
makes
the
management
of
children
easier.
Managing
hundreds
of
children
"playing"
requires
effective
staffing.
And
there
is
always
the
fear
that
behavior
worsens
during
breaks.
So
the
theory
goes
that
having
them
in
class
and
strictly
managed
must
be
better.
???
But
this
means
that
students
barely
have
enough
time
to
absorb
what
they
were
doing
in
maths
before
suddenly
they
are
forced
to
study
ancient
history.
And
teaching
staff
also
move
through
from
one
class
to
another,
with
hardly
a
rest
or
time
to
refocus.
???
Clearly
rethinking
the
school
day
could
benefit
everyone
included.
Anyway,
it
could
also
lead
to
better
achievements
of
teenagers
and
less
of
a
struggle
for
parents
in
the
morning.
For
teachers,
it
could
also
mean
a
less
stressful
day
all
around
and
what
could
be
better
than
that?
1.
At
what
time
do
the
students
start
their
first
lesson
in
the
US?
A.7:00
am.
B.7:30
am.
C.8:00
am.
D.8:30
am.
2.
How
do
schools
often
shorten
the
school
day?
A.
They
reduce
children's
lunch
time
and
lesson
breaks.
B.
They
reduce
the
teaching
time.
C.
They
properly
adjust
children's
natural
rhythms.
D.
They
increase
more
holidays.
3.
What's
the
purpose
of
the
short
lesson
breaks
according
to
the
text?
A.
To
make
children
behave
better
in
class.
B.
To
make
children
quickly
take
in
what
they
learned.
C.
To
reduce
children's
excitement.
D.
To
manage
children
more
easily.
4.
What
can
we
learn
about
the
later
school
start
time
from
the
text?
A.
It
will
add
to
the
teachers'
pressure.
B.
It
has
always
been
there
for
25
years.
C.
Parents
may
support
it.
D.
It
benefits
the
students
only.
D
?
Physical
education,
or
PE,
isn't
required
for
all
high
school
students.
In
some
schools,
it
isn't
offered
for
some
different
reasons.
But
should
high
school
students
have
physical
education?
The
answer
is
certainly
"yes".
???
Today
many
people
don't
do
sports.
But
as
is
known
to
all,
doing
sports
is
very
important
for
an
adult.
Teaching
teens
the
importance
of
a
healthy
lifestyle
and
making
fitness
plans
now
can
help
teens
put
exercise
in
the
first
place
as
an
adult.
???
High
school
isn't
that
easy.
Many
students
are
under
a
lot
of
stress.
Stress
can
be
harmful
to
students'
studies
and
lives.
Doing
sports
can
help
them
deal
with
stress
better,
helping
them
live
a
happier
life
at
school.
???
The
American
Heart
Association
says
that
10
million
kids
and
teens
suffer
from
obesity(肥胖症).
Teens
should
get
60
minutes
of
physical
activity
per
day
to
control
their
weight
and
to
help
their
bones
get
stronger.
The
increase
in
activities
that
don't
get
teens
to
move
around,
such
as
computer
games,
means
many
teens
don't
get
their
required
exercise.
PE
classes
act
as
a
public
health
measure(措施)
to
encourage
physical
activity
and
help
teens
have
healthy
weight.
???
Not
doing
sports
increases
teens'
hazard
of
developing
many
diseases.
An
active
lifestyle
offers
a
good
way
of
protection
from
these
health
problems.
As
much
as
75
percent
of
health-care
spending
goes
toward
treating
medical
conditions
that
can
be
prevented
by
lifestyle
changes,
according
to
the
American
College
of
Sports
Medicine.
???
According
to
the
President's
Council
on
Fitness,
Sports
and
Nutrition
(PCFSN),
students
who
performed
five
hours
of
physical
activity
each
week
improved
their
academic(学业的)
performance.
Students
from
programs
with
no
physical
activity,
who
used
the
extra
time
for
classroom
study,
did
not
perform
better
on
tests
than
those
who
gave
up
some
study
time
in
support
of
physical
education.
1.
According
to
Paragraph
2,
what
does
physical
education
in
high
school
mean?
A.
Making
teens
attach
importance
to
exercise
later.
B.
Removing
the
stress
faced
by
teens
at
school.
C.
Getting
teens
to
encourage
adults
to
exercise.
D.
Helping
teens
learn
to
make
good
plans.
2.

does
the
underlined
word
"hazard"
in
Paragraph
5
mean?
A.
Happiness.
B.
Risk.
C.
Safety.
D.

their
time
C.
means
students
adjust
to
their
studies
better
D.

do
better
in

schools
consider

(满分25分)
阅读下列材料,
根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,
使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My
day
didn't
begin
well
when
I
discovered
water
coming
out
of
the
washing
machine
had
destroyed
my
brand-new
carpet.
So,
I
shouted
angrily
at
my
husband,
who
played
card
games
last
night
instead
of
repairing
the
washing
machine.
Then,
I
saw
my
six-year-old
son
Jonathan
touching
a
limb
(大树枝)of
my
azalea
(杜
鹃)bush.
Before
I
could
stop
it,
he'd
broken
it.
"Can
I
take
the
flowers
to
school
today?”
he
asked.
With
a
wave
of
my
hand,
I
sent
him
off.
I
turned
my
back
so
that
he
wouldn't
see
the
tears
gathering
in
my
eyes.
It
was
days
like
this
that
made
me
want
to
give
up.
I
just
wanted
to
drive
up
to
the
mountains,
hide
in
a
cave,
and
never
come
out.
The
rest
of
the
day,
I
washed
and
dried
clothes,
thinking
how
love
had
disappeared
from
my
life.
Then,
I
looked
at
the
clock.
It
was
2:
30.
I
was
late.
Jonathan's
class
finished
at
2:
15
and
I
hurriedly
drove
to
the
school.
I
was
out
of
breath
when
I
arrived
at
the
teacher's
door.
The
teacher
rushed
through
the
door
and
took
me
aside.
"I
want
to
talk
to
you
about
Jonathan,"
she
said.
I
prepared
myself
for
the
worst.
"Do
you
know
Jonathan
brought
flowers
to
school
today?”
she
asked.
I
nodded,
thinking
about
my
favorite
azalea
bush.
"Let
me
tell
you
about
yesterday,"
the
teacher
said.
"See
that
little
girl?”
I
noticed
a
bright-eyed
girl
laughing
there.
I
nodded.
She
continued,
"Well,
her
parents
are
always
quarreling.
Yesterday
she
told
me
she
didn't
want
to
live.
I
watched
her
bury
her
face
in
her
hands
and
say
loud
enough
for
the
class
to
hear,
'Nobody
loves
me.
'
I
did
all
I
could
to
comfort
her,
but
it
only
seemed
to
make
things
worse."
"Did
Jonathan
do
anything
to
help?”
I
asked.
"Yes,
"
the
teacher
said
firmly.
Paragraph
1:
???
Then,
the
teacher
told
me
what
happened.

Paragraph
2:

Later
that
evening,
I
was
looking
at

when
I
heard
the
familiar
sound?of
my
husband’s
brakes(刹车).?

答案以及解析
第一部分
阅读
第一节
A.答案:1-3:CBC
解析:1.推理判断题。根据第二段中The
Monster
Zoo
was
founded
in
1983
as
a
breeding
area(繁殖区)。Officially
open
to
the
public
in
October
1993可知,该动物园在成立十年后对公众开放,故选C项。
2.细节理解题。根据Tickets中Child(4—14
years
old):A$28.50;Adult(15
years
old
and
over):A$51.75;Family
Group:
A
$132.75可知,A$28.50+
A$28.50+
A$51.75
=A$
108.75,也就是说如果三个年龄分别为12
岁、14岁和19岁的年轻人参观动物园,他们要付108.75澳元。故选B项。
3.
推理判断题。本文介绍了Monster
Zoo的有关事宜,其中包括Opening
Hours、Tickets、Meet
the
Keeper、Café
和Picnics,所以本文最有可能来自一个旅游网站,故选C项。
B.答案:1-4:DDBC
解析:1.细节理解题。根据第二段中"Before
you
take
action,
make
records
of
when
the
dog
is
disturbing,"
says
expert
Sharon
Schweitzer.
"Record
the
dates
and
time
when
the
barking
appears
to
find
out
the
features
of
the
barking..."可知,当你的邻居的狗影响你的生活时,
你可以先记录下吠叫的日期和时间。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句Plus,
your
neighbors
might
not
even
realize
the
barking
is
a
problem,
for
the
worst
noise
may
happen
when
they're
gone.(另外,你的邻居甚至可能没有意识到狗叫声是个问题,因为最糟糕的噪音可能发生在他们不在的时候。)可知,你的邻居不太可能意识到狗叫的问题,因为当狗叫得最厉害的时候,他们可能在外面。
3.词义猜测题。根据最后一段可知,避免和其他邻居谈论狗,因为大家都想把问题解决,但是如果当你开始和其他邻居八卦狗的问题,就在那时事情往往会开始变得糟糕起来。故画线单词意思为“变得更糟;恶化”。
4.推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中Explain
the
time
when
the
barking
gets
bad,
then
suggest
a
way
to
solve
the
problem.
"You
can
sit
and
complain
all
day,
but
that
will
go
nowhere,"
says
Schweitzer.可知,最好的解决问题的办法是和邻居好好沟通,抱怨是行不通的,可推知良好的沟通是必须的。
C.答案:1-4
BADC
解析:1.细节理解题。根据第一段中This
is
often
even
earlier
elsewhere
in
the
world,
with
students
sitting
down
to
their
first
lesson
at
7:30
am
in
the
US.(在世界其他地方,上课时间往往更早。在美国,学生们早,上7:30就坐下开始上第一节课。)可知,在美国,学生们早上7:30就坐下开始上第一节课。
2.细节理解题。第二段中This
is
not
at
the
cost
of
teaching
time
(which
has
remained
constant)
but
at
the
cost
of
natural
breaks,
which
has
led
to
reduced
lunch
time
and
lesson
breaks.可知,学校通过减少孩子们的午饭时间和课间休息时间,缩短一天的在校时间。
3.推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句So
the
theory
goes
that
having
them
in
class
and
strictly
managed
must
be
better.可以判断出,缩短孩子们的课间休息时间,是为了更容易监管他们。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中Anyway,
it
could
also
lead
to
better
achievement
in
teenagers
and
less
of
a
struggle
for
parents
in
the
mornings.(而且,它还可以使青少年取得更好的成绩,减少父母在早上的挣扎。)可判断出,如果上学时间延后,家长们可能会支持。
D.答案:1-4
ABDA
解析:1.细节理解题。根据第二段中Teaching
teens
the
importance
of
a
healthy
lifestyle
and
making
fitness
plans
now
can
help
teens
put
exercise
in
the
first
place
as
an
adult.(现在教导青少年健康的生活方式以及制订健身计划的重要性,可以帮助青少年在成年后,把锻炼放在首位。)可知,高中体育教育意味着让青少年重视以后的锻炼。A项中attach
importance
to
exercise和原文中put
exercise
in
the
first
place为同义短语。B项“消除青少年在学校面临的压力”、C项“让青少年鼓励成年人锻炼”及D项帮助青少年制订好的计划均与文意不符。
2.词义猜测题。根据下句An
active
lifestyle
offers
a
good
way
of
protection
from
these
health
problems.(积极的生活方式提供了一个很好的方法来预防这些健康问题。)可知,画线词所在句的意思是:不做运动会增加青少年患许多疾病的风险。因此“hazard”的意思是“风险,危险”。happiness幸福;
risk风险;safety安全;sadness悲伤。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段中Students
from
programs...in
support
of
physical
education.(活动安排中没有体育活动的学生,把额外的时间用于课堂学习,在考试中的表现并不比那些为了支持体育而放弃一些学习时间的学生好。)可推断出,根据PCFSN所说,做运动帮助学生在学习上做得更好。A项“意味着让学生在运动和学习之间选择”、B项帮助学生充分利用他们的所有时间和C项意味着学生更好地适应他们的学习在文中均未提及。
4.主旨大意题。本文第一段中But
should
high
school
students
have
physical
education?
The
answer
is
certainly
"yes".(但是中学生应该接受体育教育吗?答案当然是肯定的。)是全文的主题句,结合全文内容可知,这篇文章主要讲了为什么高中生应该接受体育教育。故选A项。
第二节
答案:GEAFC
解析:?本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了繁忙的工作之余我们也需要使自己的心平静,并提出了几种使自己平静的方法。
①根据上句"A
few
simple
minutes
can
create
much
needed
moments
of
calm."可知短短几分钟就可以创造我们需要的平静;根据下句"You
can
use
these
skills
to
create
calm
in
your
busy
schedule."可知,你可以用这些技巧在繁忙的日程安排中创造平静。G项表示“你不必找到一座山坐在上面,也不需要花几个小时清空你头脑里的所有想法”,连接上下文,故选G。
②根据上句"Simply
walking
and
taking
in
the
view
can
reduce
stress."可知,仅仅是散步和看风景就能减轻压力,根据下句"It

new
ideas
to
take
root."可知,它为新观念生根腾出空间,因此E项“这是让有压力的想法从你的头脑中消失的时候”,符合语境,故选E。
③根据上句"When
we
think
of
nature,
we
think
of
getting
out
into
the
open
air,
and
that's
great
if
you
can."可知,当我们一想到大自然时,我们就会想到去户外,接着设空处提出问题:如果你在城市怎么办?随后总结:自然随处可见。A项连接上下文,故选A。
④本段建议用听音乐来使自己平静,F项“放着令人愉快的音乐,甚至工作都可能是‘动听的音乐’”说明音乐的作用,与本段话题一致,且music是关键词,故选F。
⑤本段建议通过做些活动使自己平静。上句提到瑜伽和太极拳,C项中的They指代的是上句提到的瑜伽和太极拳,这两种活动是保持平静的很好的方式,与上句紧密联系,故选C。

an
important

one
of后接可数名词复数,

is/was
believed
that...为固定句型,

第三部分
写作
第一节
The
experience
I
value
???
There
are
many
valuable
experiences
in
our
life.
As
for
me,
cooking
for
my
mother
on
her
birthday
is
an
unforgettable
incident.
???
I
remember
very
well
that
I
desired
to
see
my
mother’s
biggest
smile
that
day,
so
I
decided
to
surprise
her
with
home-made
scrambled
eggs.
Waking
up
really
early,
I
tiptoed
to
the
kitchen
to
start
my
project.
It
was
the
first
time
I
had
cooked
and
somehow
the
eggs
ended
up
burnt.
However,
I
was
about
to
throw
everything
away
when
my
mother
came
in.
I
smiled
bitterly
while
she
tasted,
saying
they
weren’t
bad.
???
I
guess
love
is
indeed
a
magical
ingredient.
Actually,
them
all.
第二节
???Then,
the
teacher
told
me
what
Happened.
This,
morning,
my
son
walked
straight
over
to
that
little
girl,
handed
her
some
pretty
pink
flowers
and
said,
I
love
you.
She
looked
at
Jonathan
gratefully,
with
tears
streaming
down
her
cheeks.
Then
he
patted
her
on
the
shoulder
and
sat
by
her
side
for
a
long
time.
It
was
my
son
that
helped
rebuild
her
faith?
My
heart
was
filled
with
pride
for
what
my
son
had
done.
I
found
Jonathan,
reached
for
his
hand
and
whispered,
“Thank
you.
You’ve
made
my
day.
”
???
Later
that
evening,
I
was
looking
at
the
azaleas
when
I
heard
the
familiar
sound
of
my
husband
brakes.
I
immediately
picked
some
pink
azaleas
off
the
bush.
My
husband's
eyes
widened
in
surprise
as
I
handed
him
the
flowers
and
said
"I
love
you.
I
then
explained,
“Today,
Jonathan
comforted
a
little
girl
by
giving
her
azaleas.
I’ve
learned
a
lesson
that
we
should
put
love
into
practice.”
My
husband
hugged
me
tightly
in
tears.
Thanks
to
Jonathan

the
seed

love

planted
