二、阅读理解
Teens
and
younger
children
are
reading
a
lot
less
for
fun,
according
to
a
Common
Sense
Media
report
published
Monday.
While
the
decline
over
the
past
decade
is
steep
for
teen
readers,
some
data
in
the
report
shows
that
reading
remains
a
big
part
of
many
children's
lives,
and
indicates
how
parents
might
help
encourage
more
reading.
According
to
the
report's
key
findings,
"the
proportion
(比例)
who
say
they
4
hardly
ever"
read
for
fun
has
gone
from
8
percent
of
13-year-olds
and
9
percent
of
17-year-olds
in
1984
to
22
percent
and
27
percent
respectively
today.
The
report
data
shows
that
pleasure
reading
levels
for
younger
children,
ages
2-8,
remain
largely
the
same.
But
the
amount
of
time
spent
in
reading
each
session
has
declined,
from
closer
to
an
hour
or
more
to
closer
to
a
half
hour
per
session.
When
it
comes
to
technology
and
reading,
the
report
does
little
to
counsel
(建议)
parents
looking
for
data
about
the
effect
of
e-readers
and
tablets
on
reading.
It
does
point
out
that
many
parents
still
limit
electronic
reading,
mainly
due
to
concerns
about
increased
screen
time.
The
most
hopeful
data
shared
in
the
report
shows
clear
evidence
of
parents
serving
as
examples
and
important
guides
for
their
kids
when
it
comes
to
reading.
Data
shows
that
kids
and
teens
who
do
read
frequently,
compared
to
infrequent
readers,
have
more
books
in
the
home,
more
books
purchased
for
them,
parents
who
read
more
often,
and
parents
who
set
aside
time
for
them
to
read.
As
the
end
of
school
approaches,
and
school
vacation
reading
lists
loom
(逼近)
ahead,
parents
might
take
this
chance
to
step
in
and
make
their
own
summer
reading
list
and
plan
a
family
trip
to
the
library
or
bookstore.

probably
about?
A.Children's
reading
habits.
B.Quality
of
children's
books.
C.Children's
after-class
activities.

解析:
本文属于记叙文,讲述了作者在智利看到了开花的沙漠这一壮丽的自然景象。
1.?as
考查介词。此处表示我作为一名语言助手现在在智利工作。
2.?occurs
考查时态和主谓一致,此处表示我幸运地看到了开花的沙漠,这是大约每五年发生一次的自然现象。大约每五年出现一次是一种客观规律,且主语为第三人称单数,故用occurs。

that/which
考查定语从句。空处引导定语从句,在从句中作主语,指代先行词The
vast
carpet
of
colour。
10.?simply
考查副词。空处修饰形容词wonderful,故要用副词。

Making
the
news
一、阅读理解
A
??
Sometime
in
the
future,
the
familiar
morning
newspaper
on
the
front
porch(门廊)
will
disappear.
And
instead
of
reading
your
newspaper,
it
will
read
to
you.
You’ll
get
up
and
turn
on
the
computer
newspaper
just
like
switching
on
the
TV.
An
electronic
voice
will
report
stories
about
the
latest
events,
guided
by
a
program
that
selects
the
type
of
news
you
want.
You’ll
even
get
to
choose
the
kind
of
voice
you
want
to
hear.
Want
more
information
on
this
brief
story?
A
simple
touch
makes
the
entire
text
appear.
You
can
save
it
in
your
own
personal
computer
if
you
like.
These
are
among
the
predictions
from
communication
experts
working
on
the
newspapers
of
the
future.
Pictured
as
part
of
broader
home-based
media
and
entertainment
systems,
computer
newspapers
will
unite
print
and
broadcast
reporting,
and
offer
news
and
analysis
with
video
images
of
news
events.
???
Most
of
the
technology
is
available
now,
but
convincing
more
people
that
they
don’t
need
to
read
a
newspaper
is
the
next
step.
But
resistance(反对)
to
computer
newspapers
may
be
stronger
from
journalism.
Since
it
is
such
a
cultural
change,
it
may
be
that
the
present
generation
of
journalists
and
publishers
will
have
to
die
off
before
the
next
generation
realize
that
the
newspaper
industry
is
no
longer
a
newspaper
industry.
Technology
is
making
the
end
of
traditional
newspapers
unavoidable.
???
Despite
technological
advances,
it
could
take
decades
to
replace
newsprint
with
computer
screens.
It
might
take
30
to
40
years
to
complete
the
changeover
because
people
need
to
buy
computers
and
newspapers
have
established
financial
interests
in
the
paper
industry.
1.Which
of
the
following
is
NOT
an
advantage
of
computer
newspapers
according
to
the
passage?
A.They
are
cheaper
than
traditional
newspapers.
B.They
are
more
convenient
to
read.
C.You
can
choose
the
kind
of
voice
you
want
to
hear.
D.You
can
easily
save
information
for
future
use.
2.Journalists
are
against
computer
newspapers
because
_________.
A.they
don't
know
how
to
use
computers
B.they
think
computer
newspapers
take
too
much
time
to
read
C.they
think
the
new
technology
is
negative
D.they
have
been
trained
to
write
for
traditional
newspapers
3.We
can
infer
from
the
last
paragraph
that
___________.
A.all
technological
changes
are
good
B.new
technology
doesn't
always
replace
the
traditional

will
eventually

C
Transparent
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
depth
of
about
3,300
feet—as
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
they’re
eating
it,
or
unless
something
is
eating
them.”
And
they
are
as
clear
as
glass.
How
does
an
animal
become
see-through?
It’s
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
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
doesn’t
absorb
or
scatter
light,
at
least
not
very
much,
Light
can
pass
through
it
without
bending
or
stopping.
That
means
a
transparent
object
doesn’t
look
very
different
from
the
surrounding
air
or
water.
You
don’t
see
it—you
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)
that
absorb
specific
colors
of
light.
But
a
transparent
animal
doesn’t
have
pigments,
so
its
tissues
won’t
absorb
light.
According
to
Johnsen,
avoiding
absorption
is
actually
easy.
The
real
challenge
is
preventing
light
from
scattering.
???
Animals
are
built
of
many
different
materials—skin,
fat,
and
more—and
light
moves
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.
Others
build
a
large,
clear
mass
of
non-living
jelly-lie
(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
they’re
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.

If

bones,
33
joints
and
more
than
100
muscles
that
make
up
the
foot.
??
In
a
recent
survey
for
the
American
Podiatric
Medical
Association,
53
percent
of
respondents
reported
foot
pain
was
so
severe
that
it
affected
their
daily
function.
On
average,
people
develop
pain
in
their
60s,
but
it
can
start
as
early
as
the
20s
and
30s.
And
usually
women
give
care
to
their
feet
while
men
don’t.
??
"A
lot
of
people
think
foot
pain
is
part
of
the
aging
process
and
accept
it,
and
walk
with
pain,"
said
Dr.
Andrew
Shapiro.
Though
some
foot
problems
are
unavoidable,
their
progress
can
be
slowed.
The
following
questions
will
help
you
assess
whether
you
should
take
more
preventive
action
as
you
age.
Do
you
have
flat
feet
or
high
arches
(足弓)?
Either
puts
feet
at
risk.
Shoes
that
support
the
arch
and
heel
can
help
flat
feet.
People
with
high
arches
should
look
for
roomy
shoes
and
softer
padding
(衬塾)
to
absorb
the
shock.
Proper
exercises
also
strengthen
muscles,
supporting
the
foot.
??
Do
your
shoes
fit?
In
the
survey,
more
than
34
percent
of
men
said
they
could
not
remember
the
last
time
their
feet
were
measured.
20
percent
of
women
said
that
once
a
week
they
wore
shoes
that
hurt,
and
8
percent
wore
painful
shoes
daily.
Feet
flatten
and
lengthen
with
age,
so
if
you
still
stick
to
the
shoe
size
you
wore
at
the
age
of
21,
get
your
feet
measured.
??
Do
you
walk?
Putting
more
mileage
(英里数))
on
your
feet
is
the
best
way
to
exercise
the
muscles
and
keep
them
healthy.
1.The
underlined
phrase"wear
and
tear"
in
Paragraph1
probably
means.
A.a
surprising
experience
B.an
unimaginable
distance
C.damage
due
to
continuous
use
D.a
contribution
to
the
feet
2.What
do
we
know
according
to
the
passage?
A.The
number
of
men
and
women
who
have
foot
problems
is
similar.
B.Walking
as
little
as
possible
can
protect
your
feet
from
pain.
C.More
than
half
of
the
respondents
have
serious
foot
problems.
D.53%
of
people
develop
foot
pain
in
their
60s.
3.Which
of
the
following
statements
best
describes
foot
pain?
A.Not
all
of
it
can
be
avoided.
B.People
can’t
slow
its
process.
C.Walking
more
will
stop
foot
pain.
D.Preventive
action
can’t
work
well.
4.If
your
feet
were
26
cm
long
at
23,what
is
the
probable
length
of
your
feet
when
you
are
43?????
A.26.2
cm.
B.25.2
cm.
C.26
cm.
D.25

the
truck
that
hit
her
was
from.
Colleen
was
angry,
but
the
driver
offered
to
let
her
do
what
she
wanted
to
do.
She
spent
time

阅读下面材料,

使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
???
On
a
cold
windy
day,
a
poor
boy
tried
to
pay
his
way
through
school
by
selling
goods
door
to
door.
Wandering
on
the
street,
he
was
not
a
successful
seller.
What's
worse,
he
found
that
he
only
had
one
dime(十分钱)
left.
His
empty
stomach
reminded
him
constantly
that
for
days
he
hadn't
eaten
anything.
He
had
no
choice
but
to
beg
for
a
meal
at
the
next
house.
???
Hesitantly
he
knocked
at
door,
thinking
about
what
to
say
when
it
opened.
However,
he
lost
his
nerve
when
a
lovely
young
woman
opened
the
door.
"What
can
I
do
for
you?"
asked
the
young
woman.
The
boy
paused
for
a
while
"Would
you
please
give
me
some...a
drink
of
water?"
the
boy
dared
not
to
look
directly
into
her
eyes.
She
looked
at
the
bony
boy
and
thought
he
might
need
something
to
give
him
energy
so
she
brought
him
a
glass
of
milk.
His
head
rising
and
small
hands
taking
the
cup,
he
drank
it
up
slowly,
and
then
asked,
"How
much
do
I
owe
you?"
"You
don't
owe
me
anything,"
she
replied
with
a
warm
smile
on
her
face.
"My
mother
has
taught
me
never
to
accept
pay
for
a
kindness."
Deeply
moved,
he
said
sincerely,
“Then
I
shall
thank
you
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart.”
As
Howard
Kelly
left
that
house,
he
not
only
felt
stronger
physically,
but
it
also
increased
his
faith
in
God
and
the
whole
human
race.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
he
was
about
to
give
up
and
quit
before
that
point.
???
Years
later
the
young
woman
became
critically
ill.
However,
the
local
doctors
were
unable
to
give
the
effective
medical
treatment.
Finally
they
sent
her
to
a
hospital
in
the
big
city,
where
specialists
can
be
called
in
to
cure
her
rare
disease.
Among
those
famous
specialists,
Dr.
Howard
Kelly
was
called
in
for
the
consultation.
When
he
heard
the
name
of
the
town
she
car
me
from,
a
strange
light
filled
his
eyes.
Immediately,
he
rose
and
went
down
through
the
hospital
hall
into
her
room.
Paragraph
1:

Dressed
in
his
doctor's
gown,

答案以及解析
一、
A.答案:1.A;
2.D;
3.C
解析:1.考查细节理解。根据第一段第一句And
instead
of
reading
your
newspaper,
it
will
read
to
you可知未来的电脑报纸读起来很方便。所以B项表述正确,根据第一段中的You’ll
even
get
to
choose
the
kind
of
voice
you
want
to
hear可知C项表述正确;根据第一段中的You
can
save
it
in
your
own
personal
computer
if
you
like可知D项表述正确。只有A项在文章里没有被提及。
2.考查推理判断。根据文章第二段中的Since
it
is
such
a
cultural
change,
it
may
be
that
the
present
generation
of
journalists
and
publishers
will
have
to
die
off
before
the
next
generation
realize
that
the
newspaper
industry
is
no
longer
a
newspaper
industry.
Technology
is
making
the
end
of
traditional
newspapers
unavoidable可推知,记者抵制电脑报纸是因为现在的记者习惯f传统的报纸,对于新技术有抵触。故D项正确。
3.考查推理判断。根据文章最后一段内容可知技术的革命是无法避免的,也就是说新技术最终将取代旧技术?故C项正确。
B.答案:1.A;
2.C;
3.A;
4.C
解析:1.细节理解题。根据He
tore
open
the
box
and,
indeed,
found
a
surprise
inside:
garbage.可知,与
Connor
Cox打开包裹时,发现是一袋垃圾。
2.推理判断题。这则新闻主要报道了一位父亲被他的孩子举报闯红灯,是这位父亲使用自己的方法,免受到惩罚,所以选C项。
3.细节理解题。根据After
explaining
the
mess,
the
American
embassy,
some
Kenyon
family
members
missed
their
flight
to
Orlando
because
they
had
to
wait
for
the
baby’s
visa
to
arrive
in
the
mail可知,凯尼恩一家错过飞机是因为他们不得不等婴儿的签证发到邮箱,所以选A项。
4.细节理解题。通过全文可知这四则新闻的共同之处是令人吃惊,而且有趣,所以选C项。
C.答案:1.B;
2.D;
3.C;
4.D

细节理解题。文章第一段第三行:
Most
of
them
are
extremely
delicate
and
can
be
damaged
by
a
simple
touch。得知B选项:透明动物是很容易受伤的。故选B。
2.词义猜测题。该词出现在文章第三段第三行。前文提到了:
你能看到的物体一种是对光线进行了散射;而另外一种是对光线的吸收。既然吸收了,那在光的传播过程中就完全阻止了,因此这里dead是完全的意思。故选D。
3.推理判断题。根据第五段第一句To
become
transparent,
an
animal
needs
to
keep
its
body
from
absorbing
or
scattering
light。可知,想变透明就要避免散射或吸收光线,因此其中的一个方法是C选项,避免光线的吸收。故选C。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句话可知D项正确。
D.答案:1.C;
2.C;
3.A;
4.A1.考查短语猜测。根据第一段中的The
average
person
walks
the
equivalent
of
three
times
around
the
Earth
in
a
lifetime可知,平均每人一生走的路相当于绕地球三圈,因此可推知画线短语的意思是不间断地使用引起的伤害,故选C项。
2.考查推理判断。根据第二段中的In
a
recent
survey
for
the
American
Podiatric
Medical
Association,
53
percent
of
respondents
reported
foot
pain
was
so
severe
that
it
affected
their
daily
function可知,超过一半的调查对象脚痛很严重,影响了他们的日常生活,故选C项。
3.考查细节理解。根据第二段的最后一句Though
some
foot
problems
are
unavoidable,
their
progress
can
be
slowed可知,不是所有的脚疼都可以避免,故选A项。
4.根据倒数第二段中的Feet
flatten
and
lengthen
with
age可知,脚会随着年龄的增长而变平、变长,再结合题干和选项可知,应选A项。

五、答案:
Dear
Mike,
How
are
you
doing
these
days?
Aimed
at
providing
a
platform
where
students
can
have
a
chance
to
exchange
and
make
use
of
their
books,
the
annual
campus
book
fair
will
soon
be
held
in
our
school.
The
fair
will
attract
a
huge
crowd
from
the
entire
school,
who
are
to
sell,
purchase
and
exchange
their
books
with
their
peers.
As
a
regular
visitor,
I've
found
myself
increasingly
drawn
by
the
fair.
For
one
thing,
the
fair
exhibits
books
of
hundreds
of
types
on
diverse
topics,
motivating
us
to
further
develop
our
reading
habits
and
helping
to
broaden
our
horizons.
For
another,
most
books
are
sold
at
a
lower
price
than
what
the
bookstores
offer.
Please
let
me
know
if
you
have
any
suggestions
on
how
to
host
such
a
book
fair
better.
Yours,
Li
Hua
六、答案:
Paragraph
1:
???
Dressed
in
his
doctor's
gown,
he
went
in
to
see
her.
He
saw
her
lie
on
the
bed
and
recognized
her
at
once.
Her
lovely
face
looked
pale.
He
went
back
to
the
consultation
room
and
determined
to
do
his
best
to
save
her
life.
From
that
day
on,
he
gave
special
attention
to
her
case.
Luckily,
after
a
long
struggle,
the
battle
was
won,
Dr.
Kelly
requested
the
business
office
to
pass
the
final
bill
to
him
for
approval.
He
looked
at
it
and
then
wrote
something
on
the
side.
Paragraph
2:
???
The
bill
was
sent
to
her
room.
Hesitantly
she
took
it.
She
was
afraid
to
open
it
because
she
was
sure
that
it
would
take
the
rest
of
her
life
to
pay
it
off.
Finally
she
opened
it,
on
the
side
of
which
a
note
caught
her
attention.
She
read
these
words,
"Paid
in
full
with
a
glass
of
milk."
signed
Dr.
Howard
Kelly.
Tears
of
joy
flooded
her
eyes
as
she
prayed
silently,
"Thank
you,
God."
