A
My Favourite Books
Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series (系列) of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.
Matilda
Roald Dahl
I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl’s writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda’s battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, are equally funny and frightening, but they’re also aspirational.
After Dark
Haruki Murakami
It’s about two sisters — Eri, a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping, and Mari, a young student. In trying to connect to her sister, Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse “night people” who are hiding secrets.
Gone Girl
Gillian Fynn
There was a bit of me that didn’t want to love this when everyone else on the planet did, but the horror story is brilliant. There’s tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It’s a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what’s going on is horribly enjoyable.
The Stand
Stephen King
This is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world’s population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those left. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.
1. Whose writing about the fairy tales did Jo Usmar comment on
A. Stephen King. B. Gillian Flynn. C. Roald Dahl. D. Jo Usmar.
2. Which of the following tells about Mari and Eri
A. Cosmopolitan. B. Matilda. C. After Dark. D. The Stand.
3. What kind of book is Gone Girl
A. A folk tale. B. A biography. C. A love story. D. A horror story.
【答案】1. C 2. C 3. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了作家Jo Usmar选出的四本好书。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Here she picks her top reads.(下面是她挑选的最佳阅读书目)”可知，文章中的四本书都是Jo Usmar挑选出来的；再根据Matilda部分中的“I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl’s writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words.(我曾经写过一篇关于童话对Roald Dahl写作的影响的论文，这篇论文让我对他奇怪而有趣的文字有了新的欣赏)”可知，Jo Usma评论了Roald Dahl关于童话的写作。故选C。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据After Dark部分中的“It’s about two sisters — Eri, a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping, and Mari, a young student.(这是关于两姐妹的故事——模特Eri和年轻的学生Mari)”可知，After Dark讲述了Eri和Mari的故事。故选C。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Gone Girl部分中的“There was a bit of me that didn’t want to love this when everyone else on the planet did, but the horror story is brilliant.(当这个星球上的所有人都喜欢这部电影的时候，我有点不想去喜欢它，但这个恐怖故事很棒)”可知，Gone Girl是一个恐怖故事。故选D。
B
People all need friends because nobody wants to be lonely and a friend can help you in good and bad times. You have made friends since childhood, but you still don’t know who your true friends are. Here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend:
Always honest
Honesty is important to keep a relationship alive. A true friend always tells you the truth. It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship. It is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories.
There are always periods in your life when you have problems or difficulties. A true friend will always have time to listen to your problems and give advice. It may not be able to offer a solution to your problems but the fact that your friend made time to listen is a sign he/she cares for you. Your friend is not a true friend if he/she can never make time for you when you are in trouble. You also need to be reasonable and accept that your friend also has other things to do so he/she can’t always listen immediately to your problems.
Always respectful (尊敬的)
A true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he/she agrees or not. Your true friend may disagree but never insists that he/she is correct.
Always understanding
It is possible that some problems will arise between you and your friend. A true friend will always be forgiving (体谅的) and understanding even if it isn’t his/her fault. We are all different people and we all make mistakes. A true friend is always forgiving and understanding because he/she doesn’t want to take the risk of losing his/her best friend.
4. What’s the best title for the third paragraph
A. Always there for you B. Keep your secrets
C. Always happy for you D. Remember your important days
5. According to the passage, a true friend will always________.
A. follow your advice
B. offer a solution for your problems
C listen immediately to your problems
D. respect your opinion even if he/she disagrees with it
6. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage

C. Sharing fun with friends. D. Paying attention to a friend’s opinions.
7. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage
A. To teach us how to make true friends.
B. To find out how long a friendship can last.
C. To introduce his experience in making friends.
D. To tell us how to find out if a friend is a true friend.

【4题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“A true friend will always have time to listen to your problems and give advice. It may not be able to offer a solution to your problems but the fact that your friend made time to listen is a sign he/she cares for you. Your friend is not a true friend if he/she can never make time for you when you are in trouble. ”（真正的朋友总是有时间倾听你的问题，给你建议。 你的朋友花时间听你倾诉，这也许不能为你的问题提供解决方案，但这表明他/她关心你。 如果你的朋友在你有困难的时候永远都抽不出时间来陪你，那他就不是真正的朋友）可知第三段的标题是 “总是和你在一起”。故选A。
【5题详解】

【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“A true friend always tells you the truth. ”（一个真正的朋友总是告诉你真相）可知A选项“永远不要对朋友撒谎”文章中提到的；根据第三段“Your friend is not a true friend if he/she can never make time for you when you are in trouble. ”（如果你的朋友在你有困难的时候永远都抽不出时间来陪你，那他就不是真正的朋友）可知B选项“为朋友腾出时间”文章中提到的；根据倒数第二段“A true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he/she agrees or not. Your true friend may disagree but never insists that he/she is correct.”（一个真正的朋友总是尊重你的意见，不管他/她是否同意。 你真正的朋友可能不同意，但从不坚持他/她是正确的）可知D选项“注意朋友的意见”文章中提到的，C选项“和朋友分享快乐”文章没有提到。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“You have made friends since childhood, but you still don’t know who your true friends are. Here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend”（你从小就交了很多朋友，但你仍然不知道谁是你真正的朋友。 这里有一些迹象可以告诉你，你的朋友是否是一个真正的朋友）可知作者写这篇文章的目的是告诉我们如何判断一个朋友是否是真正的朋友。故选D。
C
The Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad. There are beautiful beaches, adventure parks, nature parks and so much more.
There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive in a car and you’ll miss a great part of it. Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when moving slowly and going into the areas that they live.
When you are on a bicycle, you have the strength of being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter mode (方式) of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture. When you are on the beach, you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand. It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.
There are many choices of hiring a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions. There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size. These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colors to please any taste. If you have ever wanted to try a tandem bike (双人单车), now is your chance, because they have those too.
A bicycle hire on Gold Coast is something that everyone should try at least once. This is a wonderful chance for anyone who likes to cycle and it is also a cheap way to travel with your family.
8. You’d better not drive in a car on Gold Coast because ________.
A. you will break the traffic rules
B. you will cause much noise
C. you can’t enjoy the beautiful sights well
D. you can’t drive into some parks

【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。澳大利亚的黄金海岸是家庭度假的理想场所，这里有美丽的海滩，冒险公园，自然公园等。但是开车游玩会让你错过很多美丽的景色，骑自行车会带来完全不同的体验。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive in a car and you’ll miss a great part of it.(这里有很多风景可看。开车是一种遗憾，因为你会错过很多美丽的景色。)”可知，你最好不要在黄金海岸开车，会错过很多风景，不能很好地欣赏美丽的景色。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When you are on a bicycle, you have the strength of being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter mode (方式) of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture.(当你骑自行车时，你就有优势在任何你想看一种以前从未见过的有趣的动物或鸟时停下来。这也是一种更安静的交通方式，因此你或许可以拍照)”和最后一段中的“it is also a cheap way to travel with your family.(这也是一种和家人一起旅行的便宜的方式)”可知，租赁一辆自行车游览，你可以在想看动物或鸟的时候，停下来，这也是一种比较安静的游玩方式，你可以拍照。并且骑自行车与你的家人旅行是一个花钱少的方式。由此可知， A、B和C项在文中均被提到，由第三段的“It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.(骑自行车游览和单纯的日光浴及开车是完全不一样的经历)”可知，D项（这是一个做日光浴的好方法）与文章内容不符。故选D。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter mode (方式) of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture. When you are on the beach, you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand. It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car（当你想看一只你从未见过的有趣的动物或鸟的时候，你可以停下来。这也是一种比较安静的游玩方式，你可以拍照。当你在海滩上时，你可以呼吸到清新的空气，欣赏水和沙子的美丽。骑自行车会带来一个完全不同于日光浴或乘车游玩的感受。）”可知，这是在说骑自行车在黄金海岸旅行时的感受，是开车不能体会到的。这些都是骑自行车旅行的“优势”所在，故strength意为“优势，优点”。A. advantage优势，有利条件；B. weakness缺点；C. appearance外观；D. disadvantage不利条件。因此advantage与strength具有相同的含义。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段首句“There are many choices of hiring a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions.(有许多选择租用自行车体验黄金海岸的旅游景点)”以及下文“These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colors to please any taste…(成年人和儿童自行车有许多风格和颜色，以满足任何品味……)”可知，首句介绍了选择租用各种自行车体验黄金海岸的旅游景点，接下来三句解释了可以租用的各种自行车。所以本段主要介绍的是商店里可供租用的各种自行车，故选B。
D
Alida Monaco doesn't spend her summers doing the usual teenage work ,like working at the mall. Instead ,she's studying.
It used to be that a summer job was considered a teenage thing. Today ,Monaco ,who has never had a summer job ,is part of growing trend(趋势) teenagers concentrating on their studies ,even during the summer. That's down from 72% of Americans aged 16 to 19 who worked in July of 1978 ,according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Fierce competition (竞争) older workers to the workforce and weak economic（经济的）growth are all adding to the decrease of teenagers in the workforce. But as schoolwork grows increasingly heavy and homework eats up more time ,current data suggests the biggest reason why some teens won't be working this summer is that they simply don't have time.
For college-bond teens ,some teachers even advise students no t to waste time on a summer job. " Some of my students only have about six weeks off in the summer ,"said Shannon Reed ,a lecturer at the University of Pittsburgh and a former high school English teacher. " I could never advise that they got jobs during that short break. They should rest. "
Young people who don't work may miss out on valuable skills that they'll need later in life. Early work experiences teach reliability ,financial intelligence ,self-control and help people learn to deal with adult situations. But Monaco ,who plans to attend Harvard ,isn't fazed by her lack of work experience. " May be I have missed out on a couple of life skills , she said. " But I don't think it will harm in any way. "

【12题详解】

【13题详解】
段落大意题。根据第三段“Fierce competition older workers to the workforce and weak economic growth are all adding to the decrease of teenagers in the workforce. But as schoolwork grows increasingly heavy and homework eats up more time(年龄较大的工人与劳动力之间的激烈竞争和疲软的经济增长都加剧了青少年劳动力的减少。但随着学校作业越来越繁重，家庭作业占用了更多的时间)”可知本段主要是写美国劳动力结构。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“" Some of my students only have about six weeks off in the summer ,"said Shannon Reed ,a lecturer at the University of Pittsburgh and a former high school English teacher. " I could never advise that they got jobs during that short break. They should rest. "(匹兹堡大学的讲师Shannon Reed和一位高中英语老师说：“我的一些学生在暑假只有六周的假期。”我从来没有建议过他们在短暂的休息期间找到工作。他们应该休息)”可知，她支持学生不工作。故选B项。

A
My Favourite Books
Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co-author of the This Book Will series (系列) of lifestyle books. Here she picks her top reads.
Matilda
Roald Dahl
I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl’s writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful words. Matilda’s battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, are equally funny and frightening, but they’re also aspirational.
After Dark
Haruki Murakami
It’s about two sisters — Eri, a model who either won’t or can’t stop sleeping, and Mari, a young student. In trying to connect to her sister, Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse “night people” who are hiding secrets.
Gone Girl
Gillian Fynn
There was a bit of me that didn’t want to love this when everyone else on the planet did but the horror story is brilliant. There’s tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust. It’s a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what’s going on is horribly enjoyable.
The Stand
Stephen King
This is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around. After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world’s population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those left. Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever.
1. Whose writing about the fairy tales did Jo Usmar comment on
A. Stephen King. B. Gillian Flynn. C. Roald Dahl. D. Jo Usmar.
2. Which of the following tells about Mari and Eri
A. Cosmopolitan. B. Matilda. C. After Dark. D. The Stand.
3. What kind of book is Gone Girl
A. A folk tale. B. A biography. C. A love story. D. A horror story.
B
People all need friends because nobody wants to be lonely and a friend can help you in good and bad times. You have made friends since childhood, but you still don’t know who your true friends are. Here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend:
Always honest
Honesty is important to keep a relationship alive. A true friend always tells you the truth. It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship. It is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories.
There are always periods in your life when you have problems or difficulties. A true friend will always have time to listen to your problems and give advice. It may not be able to offer a solution to your problems but the fact that your friend made time to listen is a sign he/she cares for you. Your friend is not a true friend if he/she can never make time for you when you are in trouble. You also need to be reasonable and accept that your friend also has other things to do so he/she can’t always listen immediately to your problems.
Always respectful (尊敬的)
A true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he/she agrees or not Your true friend may disagree but never insists that he/she is correct.
Always understanding
It is possible that some problems will arise between you and your friend. A true friend will always be forgiving (体谅的) and understanding even if it isn’t his/her fault. We are all different people and we all make mistakes. A true friend is always forgiving and understanding because he/she doesn’t want to take the risk of losing his/her best friend.
4. What’s the best title for the third paragraph
A. Always there for you B. Keep your secrets
C. Always happy for you D. Remember your important days
5. According to the passage, a true friend will always________.
A. follow your advice
B. offer a solution for your problems

A. Never tell lies to friends. B. Making time for friends.
C. Sharing fun with friends. D. Paying attention to a friend’s opinions.

A. To teach us how to make true friends.
B. To find out how long a friendship can last.
C. To introduce his experience in making friends.
D. To tell us how to find out if a friend is a true friend.

The Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad. There are beautiful beaches, adventure parks, nature parks and so much more.
There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive in a car and you’ll miss a great part of it. Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when moving slowly and going into the areas that they live.
When you are on a bicycle, you have the strength of being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter mode (方式) of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture. When you are on the beach, you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand. It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.
There are many choices of hiring a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions. There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size. These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colors to please any taste. If you have ever wanted to try a tandem bike (双人单车), now is your chance, because they have those too.
A bicycle hire on Gold Coast is something that everyone should try at least once. This is a wonderful chance for anyone who likes to cycle and it is also a cheap way to travel with your family.

Alida Monaco doesn't spend her summers doing the usual teenage work ,like working at the mall. Instead ,she's studying.
It used to be that a summer job was considered a teenage thing. Today ,Monaco ,who has never had a summer job ,is part of growing trend(趋势) teenagers concentrating on their studies ,even during the summer. That's down from 72% of Americans aged 16 to 19 who worked in July of 1978 ,according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Fierce competition (竞争) older workers to the workforce and weak economic（经济的）growth are all adding to the decrease of teenagers in the workforce. But as schoolwork grows increasingly heavy and homework eats up more time ,current data suggests the biggest reason why some teens won't be working this summer is that they simply don't have time.
For college-bond teens ,some teachers even advise students no t to waste time on a summer job. " Some of my students only have about six weeks off in the summer ,"said Shannon Reed ,a lecturer at the University of Pittsburgh and a former high school English teacher. " I could never advise that they got jobs during that short break. They should rest. "
Young people who don't work may miss out on valuable skills that they'll need later in life. Early work experiences teach reliability ,financial intelligence ,self-control and help people learn to deal with adult situations. But Monaco ,who plans to attend Harvard ,isn't fazed by her lack of work experience. " May be I have missed out on a couple of life skills , she said. " But I don't think it will harm in any way. "
12. What is the trend of American teenagers
A. They are becoming lazy.
B. They are becoming interested in doing holiday jobs.
C. They are focusing more on studies than on jobs.
D. They are becoming particular（挑剔的）about holiday jobs.
13. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A The reasons for teenagers giving up work.
B The fierce competition teenagers face.
C. The structure of American workforce.
D. The effects of American's weak economy.
14. What's Shannon Reed's attitude towards the new trend
A. Uncaring B. Favorable（赞成的） C. Worried D. Doubtful
15. What does the underlined word " fazed" in his last paragraph mean
A. Motivated. B. Helped
C. Bothered (烦扰). D. annoyed
