三、 阅读理解(共8小题;每小题2.5分,满分20分)
A
When you are little,the whole world feels like a big playground. I was living in Conyers,Georgia the summer it all happened. I was a second grader,but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade. Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.
It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie's basement. As I opened the basement door,before us lay the biggest room,full of amazing things like guns,dolls,and old clothes. I ran downstairs,and spotted red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple,orange,blue and green.
“Stephanie,I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing to paint.” She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my house,we painted bit stripes(条纹) of colors across the pavement(人行道). Stripe by stripe,our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!
The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldn't wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother's face,I could tell that I was in deep trouble.
My mother shut the car door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring,she shouted,“What in the world were you thinking I understood when you made castles out of leaves,and climbed the neighbors' trees,but this! Come inside right now!” I stood there glaring back at her for a minute,angry because she had insulted(侮辱) my art.
“Now go clean it up!” Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.
Though years have now passed,I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if,maybe when I get older,I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. I guess we all need sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.
41. What did the writer want to do when his mother came home
A. To introduce Stephanie to her. B. To prevent her from seeing his painting.
C. To put the materials back in the yard. D. To show his artwork to her.
42. In his mother's eyes,the writer ________.
A. was a born artist B. always caused trouble
C. was a problem solver D. worked very hard
43. The underlined word “rainbow” in the last paragraph refers to ________.
A. the rainbow in the sky B. the stripes on the pavement
C. something imaginative and fun D. important lessons learned in childhood
44. It can be learned from the passage that parents should ________.
A. encourage children to paint
B. value friendship among children
C. discover the hidden talent in children
D. protect rather than destroy children's dreams
B
The term “multitasking” originally referred to a computer's ability to carry out several tasks at one time. For many people,multitasking has become a way of life and even a key to success. In fact,some excellent mental aerobic exercises(大脑训练) involve engaging the brain in two or more challenging activities at a time. Although checking e mail while talking on a phone and reading the newspaper may be second nature for some people,many times multitasking can make us less productive,rather than more. And studies show that too much multitasking can lead to increased stress,anxiety and memory loss.
In order to multitask,the brain uses an area known as the prefrontal cortex(前额叶脑皮层). Brian scans of volunteers performing multiple tasks together show that as they shift from task to task,this front part of the brain actually takes a moment of rest between tasks. You may have experienced a prefrontal cortex “moment of rest” yourself if you've ever dialed(拨电话) a phone number and suddenly forgotten who you dialed when the line is answered. What probably occurred is that between the dialing and the answering,your mind shifted to another thought or task,and then took that “moment” to come back. Research has also shown that for many volunteers,job efficiency(效率) declines while multitasking,as compared to when they perform only one task at a time.
Multitasking is easiest when at least one of the tasks is habitual,or requires little thought. Most people don't find it difficult to eat and read the newspaper at the same time. However,when two or more attention requiring tasks are attempted at one time,people sometimes make mistakes.
We often don't remember things as well when we're trying to manage several details at the same time. Without mental focus,we may not pay enough attention to new information coming in,so it never makes it into our memory stores. That is one of the main reasons we forget people's names—even sometimes right after they have introduced themselves. Multitasking can also affect our relationships. If someone checks their e mail while on the phone with a friend,they may come off as absent minded or disinterested. It can also cause that person to miss or overlook key information being passed on to them.
45. Why are some mental aerobic exercises designed to engage people in multitasking
A. To make them more productive. B. To reduce their stress and anxiety.
C. To develop their communication skills. D. To help them perform daily tasks more easily.
46. According to Paragraph 2,why may a person suddenly forget who has called
A. He may leave his prefrontal cortex temporarily damaged.
B. He is probably interrupted by another task.
C. He is probably not very familiar with the person he has called.
D. He may need a rest between dialing and speaking.
47. People tend to make mistakes when ________.
A. they perform several challenging tasks at a time
B. new messages are processed one after another
C. their relationships with others are affected
D. the tasks require little thought
48. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Multitasking has become a way of life.
B. Multitasking often leads to efficiency decline.
C. Multitasking exercises need to be improved.
D. Multitasking enables people to remember things better.

三、 A篇文章是一篇记叙文。
41. D 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段“I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldn't wait to show her my masterpiece.”可知我当时是很高兴的想把我的杰作给母亲看。所以选择D。
42. B 解析:推理判断题。根据第五、 六段可以推断出,母亲特别反感作者的一些行为,所以很生气,认为她是一个麻烦制造者。
43. C 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段作者的感慨“to keep our hopes and dreams colorful”,可以推断此时作者提到的rainbow不是指自己曾经画过的街道上的彩虹,而是指自己的人生中的彩虹。
44. D 解析:推理判断题。从整篇文章开头叙述作者开心得画彩虹的过程,到后来被母亲要求把街道清洗干净,到最后的感慨,表明作者写作最终想要表达的目的之一是:父母应该支持孩子的某些创造性的行为,而不是一味的否定。
B篇文章是一篇说明文。
45. A 解析:推理判断题。根据第一段的内容可知,作者提出:“In fact,some excellent mental aerobic exercises(大脑训练) involve engaging the brain in two or more challenging activities at a time.”,之后用although引出转折,这种训练有时并不能productive。所以选择A。有部分人认为这种大脑的训练能够帮助他们高效的工作。
46. B 解析:细节理解题。主要根据“this front part of the brain actually takes a moment of rest between tasks”,可以推断出之后的“if you've ever dialed(拨电话) a phone number and suddenly forgotten who you dialed when the line is answered”的情况,所以选择B。
47. A 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段内容,特别是最后一句话可知当人在同时从事两项或多项需要花费精力的工作时,常常会出错。故选择A。
48. 选B 解析:主旨大意题。最后一段中作者继续描述了之前的观点:一个人同时从事多项工作会出现很多问题。回到整篇文章,作者主要观点就是告诉大家:多项工作不能产生高效的结果,故选择B。
四、 1. notice 改为noticed 解析:本文的时间都是一般过去时态。
2. occupy改为occupied 解析:此处是分词短语作后置定语,occupy 与table是被动关系,故应用过去分词。
3. young之前加上a。解析:从下文可知是一对夫妇,所以需加冠词。
4. clearly改为clear。解析:此处是作表语,用形容词形式。
5. on改为by或at。解析:被桌子挡住了,应用by或at。
6. put改为putting。解析:此处是分词短语作伴随状语。此时是主谓关系,故用putting。
7. many改为much。解析:此处是回忆,不可数名词,所以用much。
8. 去掉to。解析:accept之后不需要接to。
9. So 改为But。解析:根据前后关系,应表示转折关系。
10. me改为I。解析:作主语,应用主格。
五、 One possible version:
Recently we have had a heated discussion on whether people should keep pets at home in cities. Some students think it's a good idea to keep pets because old people who live alone at home can get some comfort from pets. Besides,getting along well with animals will make our life interesting. On the contrary,the other students are against the idea. In their opinion,if too many people keep pets at home,it is bad for the environment. What is worse,pets may make too much noise and even attack people.
I like animals,so I don't think it is bad to keep pets at home. But we must take some measures to prevent them from polluting our environment.
