One day Mr. White gave his wife ten pounds for her birthday—ten new pound notes. So Mrs. White went out shopping. She waited for a bus, got on it and sat down next to an old lady. After a while, Mrs. White noticed that the old lady's handbag was open. Inside it, she saw a wad(叠) of pound notes exactly like the ones her husband had given her. So she quickly looked into her own bag—the notes had gone! Mrs. White was sure that the old lady next to her had stolen them. She immediately thought of calling the police.

Then she carefully put her hand into the old lady's bag, took the notes, and put them into her own handbag.
When she got home that evening, Mrs. White showed her husband the beautiful hat she had bought.

Life will probably be very different in 2050. First of all, it seems that TV channels will have vanished by 2050. Instead, people will choose a programme from a “menu” and a computer will send the programme directly to the television. By 2050, music, films, programmes, newspapers and books will come to us in the similar way.
In many places, agriculture is developing quickly and people are growing fruit and vegetables for export. This uses a lot of water. Therefore, there could be serious shortages of water. Some scientist predict that water could be the cause of wars if we don’t act now.
In the future, cars will run on new, clean fuels (燃料) and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won’t be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. Also, by 2050, space planes will fly people from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.
Some big companies now prefer to use robots that do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and work 24 hours a day. They are also easy to control. And they never argue with people. They can be easily used in a variety of places—factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
Scientists will have discovered how to control genes (基因). Scientists have already produced clones (克隆) of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look and how they behave. Scientists will be able to do these things, but should they

Most children have ever heard their parents yell “sit up straight!” or “don’t hang your head !” when they eat dinner. Nowadays, it is also heard around another activity — video games. Ten-year-old Owaish admits it takes him three to four hours a day to play games on his tablet computer. In addition, he plays for about two hours on the smart phone every day. As a result, he started suffering a serious pain in the neck around June or July. What’s worse the pain has spread to the hand and back gradually, which makes his mother Mehzabin become concerned.
The doctors note the number of young children with the chronic pain(慢性病) in their necks, arms and shoulders is on the increase sharp in recent years . They are not aging, they haven’t had an accident, the blood reports are fine, their X-rays are fine, and their MRIs are fine. Facts have proved that the pain is from the poor posture(姿势) while they are playing video games on smart phones or other electronic devices. 19-year –old student Nida feels pain in the finger which holds the weight of her smart phone most of the day. Nida almost uses her smart phone 24/7, which means 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or all the time.
Health experts predict there will be not only physical（身体的）but mental(精神的) problems resulting from the overuse of electronic devices. They encourage people to often take breaks and exercise from using computers, smart phones or other devices. Stand up! Stretch(伸展) the legs, back, shoulders and arms in all the possible directions. That’s the most effective way and maybe the key to solving the problem completely. After all, the medication doesn’t help sometimes.
32. What is Mehzabin worried about
A. Her son has no table manners.
B. Her son’s physical problems get worse.
C. Her son doesn’t work hard at school.
D. Her son spends much money on games.
33. What do we know about the chronic pain
A. Using a heavy smart phone will cause it.
B. Adults don’t have the problem.
C. It is caused by the wrong body position
D. Children with it often have other diseases.
34. According to health experts, _______.
A. best treatment for the chronic pain is exercising
B. people must take medicine to cure the chronic pain
C. people should stop using smart phones
D. the chronic pain has nothing to do with one’s mental health
35. What may be the best title for the text

D. How To Be More Fit By Playing Games

Harry Black was tired of the daily routine and always desired for something new to happen. One weekend in August Harry Black and his wife walked down to a river near their house. The sun was hot and they did not walk quickly.
"There's nothing new here," Harry said. "It's always the same. Let's go somewhere else. "
His wife laughed. "Look over there on the ground," she said. "Isn't it a key "
Harry walked over to the key and looked at it. The key was not very large and it had the number 164 on it. Obviously, it wasn't a car key or a door key but a key to a box and they decided to take it to the police station.
The railway station was near the police station. There was a hotel in the railway station. "Shall we have a drink in the hotel？" Harry said.
Harry and his wife began to walk through the railway station to the hotel. They came to some lockers. Each locker had a number, a lock and a key. People put things in these lockers, and left them there for an hour or two. The people locked the doors and took the keys away with them.
When she saw the lockers, Harry's wife said, "I know what that key is. It's the key from one of those lockers. Someone put something in a locker, locked the door, took the key away and then lost it. "
Harry took the key out of his pocket and wondered whether there was a locker number 164 there. They went to the lockers and soon found number 164. Harry looked at the key. He looked at the key in locker number 164. He told his wife that he was going to open the locker but his wife didn't like that.
"I'm not going to take them," Harry said. "I'm only going to look at them. "
"Please don't," his wife said. "Let's go and have our drink and then take the key to the police station. "

【详解】M: Next to me are my three assistants. On the left is Mary and on the right is Gladys. Between them is Daniel. Gladys is in charge of the computer lab and you should see her to reserve time on any of our computers. Daniel is the head of our reference department. He can help you find materials when you’re investigating subjects or writing papers. Mary is in charge of keeping all the books and periodicals organized. This is an important job because if everything wasn’t in its proper place, it would be impossible to find the information we need. The hours are on the paper you were given when you came in. We’re open every day except Sundays and holidays from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. Sometimes we’re open on special hours. For instance, during family week when your parents are invited to visit the school, we’re open every evening. If there are no questions, then Mary, Gladys and Daniel will show you around the facilities and explain everything to you.

One day Mr. White gave his wife ten pounds for her birthday—ten new pound notes. So Mrs. White went out shopping. She waited for a bus, got on it and sat down next to an old lady. After a while, Mrs. White noticed that the old lady's handbag was open. Inside it, she saw a wad(叠) of pound notes exactly like the ones her husband had given her. So she quickly looked into her own bag—the notes had gone! Mrs. White was sure that the old lady next to her had stolen them. She immediately thought of calling the police. But as she disliked making a fuss(小题大作), she decided to take back the money from the old lady's handbag and say nothing about it. She looked around to make sure nobody was watching. Then she carefully put her hand into the old lady's bag, took the notes, and put them into her own handbag.
When she got home that evening, Mrs. White showed her husband the beautiful hat she had bought.
"How did you pay for it " Mr. White asked.
"With the money you gave me for my birthday, of course" she answered.

【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据“One day Mr. White gave his wife ten pounds for her birthday(一天，怀特先生给他妻子十英镑作为生日礼物)”可知，怀特的妻子要过生日了，怀特先生给他妻子十英镑作为生日礼物。因此，D选项“For her birthday.(作为她的生日礼物)”符合题意，故选D项。

【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“She immediately thought of calling the police. But as she disliked making a fuss, she decided to take back the money from the old lady's handbag and say nothing about it.

Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. Also, by 2050, space planes will fly people from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.
Some big companies now prefer to use robots that do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and work 24 hours a day. They are also easy to control. And they never argue with people. They can be easily used in a variety of places—factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.

词义猜测题。下文Instead, people will choose a programme from a “menu” and a computer will send the programme directly to the television.说相反，人们将从“菜单”中选择节目，电脑将直接把节目发送到电视上。由此可知，上文First of all, it seems that TV channels will have vanished by 2050.的意思是首先，电视频道似乎将在2050年消失。“vanished”的意思是消失，A. Settled. 解决；B. Spread.传播；C. Disappeared.消失；D. Decreased.减少，故选C。

Most children have ever heard their parents yell “sit up straight!” or “don’t hang your head !” when they eat dinner. Nowadays, it is also heard around another activity — video games. Ten-year-old Owaish admits it takes him three to four hours a day to play games on his tablet computer. In addition, he plays for about two hours on the smart phone every day. As a result, he started suffering a serious pain in the neck around June or July. What’s worse the pain has spread to the hand and back gradually, which makes his mother Mehzabin become concerned.
The doctors note the number of young children with the chronic pain(慢性病) in their necks, arms and shoulders is on the increase sharp in recent years . They are not aging, they haven’t had an accident, the blood reports are fine, their X-rays are fine, and their MRIs are fine. Facts have proved that the pain is from the poor posture(姿势) while they are playing video games on smart phones or other electronic devices. 19-year –old student Nida feels pain in the finger which holds the weight of her smart phone most of the day. Nida almost uses her smart phone 24/7, which means 24 hours a day, seven days a week, or all the time.
Health experts predict there will be not only physical（身体的）but mental(精神的) problems resulting from the overuse of electronic devices. They encourage people to often take breaks and exercise from using computers, smart phones or other devices. Stand up! Stretch(伸展) the legs, back, shoulders and arms in all the possible directions. That’s the most effective way and maybe the key to solving the problem completely. After all, the medication doesn’t help sometimes.
32. What is Mehzabin worried about
A. Her son has no table manners.
B. Her son’s physical problems get worse.
C. Her son doesn’t work hard at school.

【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段 Facts have proved that the pain is from the poor posture(姿势) while they are playing video games on smart phones or other electronic devices.可知事实证明疼痛是他们在玩手机或其他电子设备游戏时，错误坐姿导致的，很显然慢性疼痛是由错误坐姿导致的。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段They encourage people to often take breaks and exercise from using computers, smart phones or other devices. Stand up! Stretch(伸展) the legs, back, shoulders and arms in all the possible directions. That’s the most effective way and maybe the key to solving the problem completely.可知医生建议人们放下手机或其他电子设备，短暂休息锻炼，锻炼才是解决慢性疼痛的办法，故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中的Dr. Vanjara says the pain is not from aging, accidents or disease. It is from poor posture, or body position, while playing video games. Dr. Vanjara说疼痛并不是来自年龄、事故或疾病。它来自玩电子游戏时错误的姿势,或身体的位置。也就是说玩电子游戏太多，颈部会疼痛。故选B。

细节理解题解题思路与应试技巧
细节题是针对文中某个细节、某句话或某部分具体内容设置问题，正确答案的根据一定可以在原文中找到，即原文的改写往往成为正确选项。
通常细节题的正确选项有以下特征：
1、对原文句子中的关键词进行替换。把原文中的一些词换成意义相近的词，成为正确选项。
2、词性或者语态的变化。把原文中的一些词变换一下词性，或者改变原文句子的语态，给考生制造障碍。
3、语言简化。把原文中的复杂语言现象进行简化，成为正确答案。
4、正话反说。把原文中的意思反过来表达而成为正确选项（适用于寻找错误选项的题目）。
干扰项也是以文章中的某个细节设题，若不仔细辨别，很容易把它当成正确选项。干扰项有以下特征：
1、将原文内容扩大或缩小。把原文中的限定词去掉或替换，使该选项看似正确，实际上却是错误选项。
2、把未然当已然。改变文中某句话的时态，如把将来时变成现在时，把未发生的事情当成已发生的事情。
3、无中生有。即选项内容是根据主观想象或推测得出的结论，而文中并未涉及。
4、偷换概念。把原来做该事的“张三”换成“李四”，所述细节确实与原文一致，一不小心就会误选。
5、文不对题。这类题最不容易辨别，选项中的描述与原文完全一致，确属原文中的一个细节，这时要回到题干，看该选项是否能回答题干所提的问题。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了早起给人们带来的好处。
【56题详解】
考查介词。句意：从古代起，早起就被认为是一个好习惯。be considered as 是固定搭配，意为“被认为是”。故填as。
【57题详解】
考查时态。句意：许多年前，人们认为如果我们早睡早起，我们就会整天精力充沛。分析句子结构，think作谓语，时间状语是many years ago，所以应该用一般过去时。故填thought。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意：所以早起对我们是非常重要的。空前of 为介词，所以该空填名词，of importance 相当于形容词important。故填importance。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：当然，我们会发现在早上理解所学的东西会更容易。分析句子结构，it为find的形式宾语， 4 （understand） what we learn in the morning. 为真正的宾语，应该用不定式。故填to understand。
60题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：如果我们早起，做一些晨练或只在早上走一小段路，毫无疑问，我们能强健我们的身体，并变得更加健康。该空前有much，much修饰比较级。故填healthier。
【61题详解】
考查名词。句意：例如，如果家里的每个人都早起，那么妻子们就会有足够的时间为全家准备早餐。根据句意，作者应该指的是所有的妻子们，所以应该用复数。故填wives。
【62题详解】
考查代词。句意：丈夫们将不会忘记换掉他们脏了的衬衣。空后为名词“ dirty shirt”，所以应该用形容词性物主代词，表明“他们的脏衬衣”。故填their。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：让我们记住，早起是一个好的习惯，要尽最大努力去保持。分析句子结构可知，get up early 在宾语从句中作主语，应该用动名词形式。故填getting。
【64题详解】
考查连词。句意：如果我们每天坚持早起，那么我们一定会受益很多。根据句意，这是条件状语从句，故应该用if引导。故填if。
【65题详解】
考查副词。句意：如果我们每天坚持早起，那么我们一定会受益很多。该空 修饰动词短语benefit a lot ，应该用副词。故填certainly。

第二节：读后续写（满分25分）
67. 阅读下面短文，根据文章的情节续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Harry Black was tired of the daily routine and always desired for something new to happen. One weekend in August Harry Black and his wife walked down to a river near their house. The sun was hot and they did not walk quickly.
"There's nothing new here," Harry said. "It's always the same. Let's go somewhere else. "
His wife laughed. "Look over there on the ground," she said. "Isn't it a key "
Harry walked over to the key and looked at it. The key was not very large and it had the number 164 on it. Obviously, it wasn't a car key or a door key but a key to a box and they decided to take it to the police station.
The railway station was near the police station. There was a hotel in the railway station. "Shall we have a drink in the hotel？" Harry said.
Harry and his wife began to walk through the railway station to the hotel. They came to some lockers. Each locker had a number, a lock and a key. People put things in these lockers, and left them there for an hour or two. The people locked the doors and took the keys away with them.
When she saw the lockers, Harry's wife said, "I know what that key is. It's the key from one of those lockers. Someone put something in a locker, locked the door, took the key away and then lost it. "
Harry took the key out of his pocket and wondered whether there was a locker number 164 there. They went to the lockers and soon found number 164. Harry looked at the key. He looked at the key in locker number 164. He told his wife that he was going to open the locker but his wife didn't like that.
"I'm not going to take them," Harry said. "I'm only going to look at them. "
"Please don't," his wife said. "Let's go and have our drink and then take the key to the police station. "
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好：
But Harry wanted to see what was in the locker.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Harry turned quickly and two policemen were standing next to him.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 But Harry wanted to see what was in the locker. Neglecting his wife’s disagreement, Harry inserted the key into the lock and easily unlocked the locker.There was a small wooden box in it. Curious, Harry stared at it for a while, attempting to figure out what was in it. Harry took out the box and was about to open it when his wife uttered in a trembling voice, “Please don’t. Lock it and go to the police station, please.” Hesitating for a while, Harry decided to follow his wife. However, just at this moment, another voice emerged. “Please put the box down, sir, and turn around.Give us the key to the number 164 locker please.”
Harry turned quickly and two policemen were standing next to him. The small box was still in his hands and the man standing beside the police seemed to be the owner. His wife was frozen to the spot with an unusual pale face. Harry was clear he must give an explanation, so he gathered his courage to open his mouth, “I’m sorry. We found it in the railway station and I just want to check it. We’re going to take the key to the police actually. I’m sorry.” The owner nodded his head and said, “I know. I heard your wife’s words. Anyhow, thank you.” Harry sighed with relief and thought “I will not desire anything new to happen any longer.”
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇读后续写。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，Harry厌倦了每天的例行公事，总是希望有新的事情发生。八月的一个周末，Harry和他的妻子走到他们家附近的一条河边时，捡到了一把钥匙，本来他们打算把钥匙交给警察局。结果Harry意识到那是储物柜的钥匙，于是他们拿着钥匙找到了164号储物柜，Harry告诉他的妻子他要打开储物柜，但他的妻子不喜欢那样。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：但Harry想看看储物柜里有什么。所以后文应该是讲述Harry不顾妻子的阻拦试图打开柜子的事情，在他正要打开时，另一个声音出现了，阻止了他们。
第二段开头是：Harry迅速转过身，两个警察站在他旁边。本段应该写失主找到了Harry，Harry和妻子都很紧张，Harry连忙解释事情的经过，告诉失主他们正要把钥匙交给警察，失主相信了他们的话。
续写部分主要应用一般过去时，最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：neglect；disagreement；insert；for a while；stare at；figure out；trembling ；give an explanation；with relief等高级词汇；Curious, Harry stared at it for a while, attempting to figure out what was in it. 运用现在分词作状语和宾语从句；Harry took out the box and was about to open it when his wife uttered in a trembling voice, “Please don’t. Lock it and go to the police station, please.” 运用“sb. be about to do when…”句型等高级句式。
