A big part of an American road trip is to get your music on as you head out on the highway and enjoy the sights and the scenery. Here are the top four scenic drives in America’s Southwest.
Big Sur Coast Highway, California
It is officially known as California State Route 1 with views of high mountains and rolling waves. Photo tip--just after you cross the bridge (going south), there’s a parking area which is great for shots looking back towards the bridge.
Las Vegas Boulevard, Nevada
Number two is not to be confused with “The Strip” in Las Vegas. It is worth checking out for its neon (霓虹) signs along the roadside. You can see the Hacienda Horse, Rider and the iconic Silver Slipper along this way which takes only 15 minutes to drive.
Death Valley, California
As the hottest, driest and lowest national park, Death Valley is a land of extremes. More than just a desert, Death Valley provides park visitors with a chance to admire natural beauty from the snow mountains to the wildflower fields and small oases (绿洲) to the endless desert.
Red Rock Scenic Byway, Arizona
The Scenic Byway is south on the way to Oak Creek, which is surrounded by an amazing landscape of red rock hills set against clear blue skies. The sandstone rock glows in the sunshine and it’s worth taking your hiking boots and getting out into the landscape to experience its positive energy.
1. Who is the text probably written for
A. Hikers. B. Self-driving tourists.
C. Photography lovers. D. Adventurers.
2. What is recommended if you choose California State Route 1

B
An elderly carpenter was ready to retire (退休). He told his employer of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more relaxed life with his wife enjoying his big family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire.
The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He turned to careless workmanship and used substandard materials (材料). It was an unfortunate way to end his career.
When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to check the house, the employer handed the front-door key to the carpenter. “This is your house,” he said, “my gift to you”.
What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.
So it is with us. We build our lives in an inattentive way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized, we would have done it differently.
4. Why didn’t the carpenter focus on his work
A. He had no standard materials. - B. He was treated unfairly.
C. He was offered very low payment. D. He was eager to retire.
5. How might the carpenter feel knowing the building was his retirement home
A. Regretful. B. Content. C. Annoyed. D. Excited.
6. What does “the house” in the last paragraph stand for
A. Our past. B. Our life. C. Our goal. D. Our job.
7. What message does the story want to give us
A. Your life is the result of your attitude.
B. Today is not finished until tomorrow comes.
C. Unwisely planned retirement leads to errors.
D. Trusting your boss means a loss of money.
C
Every year, hundreds of hopeful students arrive in Washington, D. C., in order to compete in the National Spelling Bee, which has been held every year since 1925.
In the competition, students under 16 take turns trying to properly spell words. The champion is the only remaining student who does not make a mistake. American students are familiar with the competition because it is practiced in many schools throughout the country. The National Spelling Bee, however, is a much bigger setting and showcases only the best spellers from all parts of the nation. Winning the competition nowadays requires the ability to perform under much pressure against so many talented students in front of a large audience. A student who wins the event in the twenty-first century will experience a much different challenge than the first winner, Frank Neuhauser, did in 1925 when he defeated only nine other competitors.
Clearly, the 90 years of the National Spelling Bee’s existence proves the importance of spelling in the English language. However, struggles with spelling English words go back much more than 90 years. The charming thing about spelling correctly in English is that it is in many ways without rules. English language can absorb new words from other languages and in doing so make them “English” words. Because of this, the number of words in English is much higher than any other languages. Thus, spelling in many other languages has fewer words and fewer strange exceptions to rules. It turns out that a spelling bee in most other languages would be a waste of time. Why is that Well, without so many exceptions to common vocabulary, there would be very few words that everyone didn’t already know.
8. How is today’s competition different from the first National Spelling Bee
A. It produces more winners. B. It draws more talented audience.
C. It attracts more competitors. D. It tests more strange words.
9. Why does the author mention “other languages” in Paragraph 3
A. To introduce the new rules of the competition. B. To gather students from other countries.
C. To explain the difficulty in English spelling. D. To show the strict rules of written English.
10. What’s the author’s attitude toward holding spelling competitions in most other languages
A. Unfavorable. B. Supportive. C. Responsible. D. Doubtful.
11. What does the text mainly talk about
A Ways to win a Spelling Bee. B. The most difficult language.
C. The best spellers. D. A competition about spelling.
D
A favorite author, Theodor Seuss Geisel was born on March 2, 1902. Today, we celebrate the birthday of the famous “Dr. Seuss” by hosting Read Across America events throughout March.
But who was Dr Seuss Did he go to medical school Where was his office You may be surprised to know that Theodor Seuss Geisel was not a medical doctor at all. He got the nickname (绰号) because people said his books were “as good as medicine”. His nickname has lasted and he is known as Dr. Seuss all across the world.
Think back to when you were a young child. Did you ever want to try “green eggs and ham” Did you try to “Hop on Pop” Did you learn about the environment from a creature called The Lorax Of course, you must recall one of Seuss’ most famous characters: that green Grinch who stole Christmas. These stories were all written by Dr. Seuss and he created many words himself in order to enhance his rhyme and even though many of his characters were made up, they sure seem real to us today.
And what of his “signature” book, The Cat in the Hat Did you know that in the early 1950’s there was a growing concern in America that children were not becoming avid readers This was, book publishers (出版商) thought, because children found books dull and uninteresting. A clever publisher sent Dr. Seuss a book of words that he thought all children should learn as young readers. Dr. Seuss wrote his famous story The Cat in the Hat, using those words. Over the decades, his writing has had much influence on very young children.
12. What can we infer from the author’s nickname
A. He was once a famous doctor. B. He wrote books in a doctor’s office.
C His books made people feel better. D. His books could treat people’s illness.
13. What can children read in Dr. Seuss’ books
A. Tips on how to cook green eggs. B. Knowledge about the environment.
C. Stories of famous people in history. D. Words from many other countries.
14. What does the underlined word “avid” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Surprised. B. Interested. C. Good. D. Fast.
15. Why is the publisher described as “clever” in the last paragraph
A. He created many useful words. B. He knew how to teach children to read.
C. He sent Dr. Seuss a best seller. D. He made for the birth of a famous story.

47. 阅读下面材料, 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。
I had just gotten out of middle school and was about to enter senior high school. I was so excited to become a big girl, but I also knew I would miss my old school on the first day. I wasn’t going to be walking into the same school, with the same friends and same teachers.
I thought I was ready for the change, though. I had a friend who would be at my new school--my neighbor Jenny. I would be fine.
I soon realized Jenny got popular fast at the new school. But Jenny changed very quickly. She dressed differently, she acted differently, and she talked differently. Undoubtedly, she preferred to spend too much time socializing (交往) rather than study. A part of me didn’t want to be popular by changing myself, but the other half couldn’t help it. So, I sat with Jenny and her friends in the new clique (小圈子). I noticed that when you sat in “the group”, everyone was so nice. They concentrated their topics on eating, dressing, hanging out, and watching videos or movies. I made so many friends that I felt accepted, but I wasn’t myself around them. Gradually, I found myself no longer a hard-working student, showing less interest in exploring the world of knowledge.
Jenny had taught me the “rules” of being popular: where I should shop, what I should say, and what I should stop doing. I changed myself. I tried hard to be the opposite of who I really was, just to be as popular as my “group”. Before long, I just couldn’t take it anymore, because I felt unhappy and anxious about my studies. I wondered how I could get over my loneliness if I separated from the group. So I talked to my mom about it.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇应用文。主要向读者介绍4条美国西南部便于公路旅行的风景路。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A big part of an American road trip is to get your music on as you head out on the highway and enjoy the sights and the scenery. Here are the top four scenic drives in America’s Southwest.”可知，本文是在向喜欢边听着车载音乐边欣赏沿途风景的人们介绍4种美国西南部便于公路旅行的风景路。由此可推知，这篇文章的读者应该是喜欢自驾游的人们。故选B项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“…California State Route 1 …,Photo tip--just after you cross the bridge (going south), there’s a parking area which is great for shots looking back towards the bridge.”可知，在加利福尼亚1号线，游客过桥之后有一个停车区，在那里可以照相。故选D项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“As the hottest, driest and lowest national park, Death Valley is a land of extremes.

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire (退休). He told his employer of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more relaxed life with his wife enjoying his big family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire.
The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He turned to careless workmanship and used substandard materials (材料). It was an unfortunate way to end his career.
When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to check the house, the employer handed the front-door key to the carpenter. “This is your house,” he said, “my gift to you”.
What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.
So it is with us. We build our lives in an inattentive way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized, we would have done it differently.
4. Why didn’t the carpenter focus on his work
A. He had no standard materials. - B. He was treated unfairly.
C. He was offered very low payment. D. He was eager to retire.
5. How might the carpenter feel knowing the building was his retirement home
A. Regretful. B. Content. C. Annoyed. D. Excited.
6 What does “the house” in the last paragraph stand for
A. Our past. B. Our life. C. Our goal. D. Our job.
7. What message does the story want to give us
A. Your life is the result of your attitude.
B. Today is not finished until tomorrow comes.
C. Unwisely planned retirement leads to errors.
D. Trusting your boss means a loss of money.

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. (一位上了年纪的木匠准备退休了。)”和第二段中“The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He turned to careless workmanship and used substandard materials (材料). It was an unfortunate way to end his career. (木匠答应了，但是很明显，他的心已经不在工作上了。他做起粗工来，用的材料也不合格。这样结束他的职业生涯是很不幸的。)”可知，因为这个木匠渴望退休，所以不能专心工作。故选D项。
【5题详解】

(我们漫不经心地打造生活，不是主动工作而是被动应付，能省事就省事。在重要的时刻，我们没有尽最大的努力。)”说明有时候人们会以一种消极的态度对待生活，从而推知“Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. (蓦然回首，我们愕然发现自己正住在自己建造的那所房子里。)”其中the house比喻“我们的生活”，生活是我们自己所创造的，自己就生活在其中。故选B项。

Every year hundreds of hopeful students arrive in Washington, D. C., in order to compete in the National Spelling Bee, which has been held every year since 1925.
In the competition, students under 16 take turns trying to properly spell words. The champion is the only remaining student who does not make a mistake. American students are familiar with the competition because it is practiced in many schools throughout the country. The National Spelling Bee, however, is a much bigger setting and showcases only the best spellers from all parts of the nation. Winning the competition nowadays requires the ability to perform under much pressure against so many talented students in front of a large audience. A student who wins the event in the twenty-first century will experience a much different challenge than the first winner, Frank Neuhauser, did in 1925 when he defeated only nine other competitors.
Clearly, the 90 years of the National Spelling Bee’s existence proves the importance of spelling in the English language. However, struggles with spelling English words go back much more than 90 years. The charming thing about spelling correctly in English is that it is in many ways without rules. English language can absorb new words from other languages and in doing so make them “English” words. Because of this, the number of words in English is much higher than any other languages. Thus, spelling in many other languages has fewer words and fewer strange exceptions to rules. It turns out that a spelling bee in most other languages would be a waste of time. Why is that Well, without so many exceptions to common vocabulary, there would be very few words that everyone didn’t already know.
8. How is today’s competition different from the first National Spelling Bee
A. It produces more winners. B. It draws more talented audience.
C. It attracts more competitors. D. It tests more strange words.
9. Why does the author mention “other languages” in Paragraph 3
A. To introduce the new rules of the competition. B. To gather students from other countries.
C. To explain the difficulty in English spelling. D. To show the strict rules of written English.
10. What’s the author’s attitude toward holding spelling competitions in most other languages
A. Unfavorable. B. Supportive. C. Responsible. D. Doubtful.
11. What does the text mainly talk about
A. Ways to win a Spelling Bee. B. The most difficult language.
C. The best spellers. D. A competition about spelling.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国的全国拼字比赛，说明了拼字在英语中的重要性以及为什么作者不支持用其它语言举行拼字比赛。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“A student who wins the event in the twenty-first century will experience a much different challenge than the first winner, Frank Neuhauser, did in 1925 when he defeated only nine other competitors. (在21世纪赢得这项比赛的学生将面临的挑战与1925年第一个冠军Frank Neuhauser所面临的挑战大不相同，当时他只打败了其他9名竞争者)”可知，今天的比赛与第一届全国拼字大赛的不同在于它吸引更多的竞争者。故选C。
【9题详解】

Why is that Well, without so many exceptions to common vocabulary, there would be very few words that everyone didn’t already know.(然而，拼写英语单词的困难可以追溯到90多年前。英语拼写正确的迷人之处在于，它在许多方面都没有规则。英语可以吸收其他语言的新单词，并使它们成为“英语”单词。正因为如此，英语的单词数量比其他任何语言都要多。因此，在许多其他语言中，拼写有更少的单词和更少奇怪的例外规则。事实证明，大多数其他语言的拼写比赛都是浪费时间。这是为什么？好吧，如果普通词汇没有那么多例外，那么每个人都知道的单词就很少了)”可推知，作者在第三段提到“其他语言”是为了解释英语拼写的困难。故选C。

A favorite author, Theodor Seuss Geisel was born on March 2, 1902. Today, we celebrate the birthday of the famous “Dr. Seuss” by hosting Read Across America events throughout March.
But who was Dr. Seuss Did he go to medical school Where was his office You may be surprised to know that Theodor Seuss Geisel was not a medical doctor at all. He got the nickname (绰号) because people said his books were “as good as medicine”. His nickname has lasted and he is known as Dr. Seuss all across the world.
Think back to when you were a young child. Did you ever want to try “green eggs and ham” Did you try to “Hop on Pop” Did you learn about the environment from a creature called The Lorax Of course, you must recall one of Seuss’ most famous characters: that green Grinch who stole Christmas. These stories were all written by Dr. Seuss and he created many words himself in order to enhance his rhyme and even though many of his characters were made up, they sure seem real to us today.
And what of his “signature” book, The Cat in the Hat Did you know that in the early 1950’s there was a growing concern in America that children were not becoming avid readers This was, book publishers (出版商) thought, because children found books dull and uninteresting. A clever publisher sent Dr. Seuss a book of words that he thought all children should learn as young readers. Dr. Seuss wrote his famous story The Cat in the Hat, using those words. Over the decades, his writing has had much influence on very young children.
12. What can we infer from the author’s nickname
A. He was once a famous doctor. B. He wrote books in a doctor’s office.
C. His books made people feel better. D. His books could treat people’s illness.
13. What can children read in Dr. Seuss’ books
A. Tips on how to cook green eggs. B. Knowledge about the environment.
C. Stories of famous people in history. D. Words from many other countries.
14. What does the underlined word “avid” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Surprised. B. Interested. C. Good. D. Fast.
15. Why is the publisher described as “clever” in the last paragraph
A. He created many useful words. B. He knew how to teach children to read.
C. He sent Dr. Seuss a best seller. D. He made for the birth of a famous story.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是作家西奥多·苏斯·盖泽尔作品和影响力。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。他的绰号是“Dr. Seuss”（苏斯医生），根据第二段的“He got the nickname because people said his books were “as good as medicine”.（他得到这个绰号是因为人们说他的书“像药一样好”。）”可知，他的书让人们感觉更好，就像医生开的药一样，因此人们叫他医生，故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Did you learn about the environment from a creature called The Lorax （你是从一个叫洛拉克斯的生物那里了解环境的吗 ）”可知，孩子们在苏斯医生的书中读到环境知识，故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段的“This was, book publishers (出版商) thought, because children found books dull and uninteresting.（出版商认为，这是因为孩子们觉得书枯燥无味。）”可知，前面是说孩子们对阅读不感兴趣，因此划线词avid的意思是“感兴趣的”，即interested，故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“A clever publisher sent Dr. Seuss a book of words that he thought all children should learn as young readers. Dr. Seuss wrote his famous story The Cat in the Hat, using those words. （一个聪明的出版商送给苏斯博士一本他认为所有儿童都应该作为年轻读者学习的单词书。苏斯医生在他著名的小说《戴帽子的猫》中就用了那些词。）”可知，因为苏斯医生在书里用了出版商送给他的那些单词，所以他促成了一个著名故事的诞生，因此他是“聪明”的，故选D。

第二节 (满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料, 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。
I had just gotten out of middle school and was about to enter senior high school. I was so excited to become a big girl, but I also knew I would miss my old school on the first day. I wasn’t going to be walking into the same school, with the same friends and same teachers.
I thought I was ready for the change, though. I had a friend who would be at my new school--my neighbor Jenny. I would be fine.
I soon realized Jenny got popular fast at the new school. But Jenny changed very quickly. She dressed differently, she acted differently, and she talked differently. Undoubtedly, she preferred to spend too much time socializing (交往) rather than study. A part of me didn’t want to be popular by changing myself, but the other half couldn’t help it. So, I sat with Jenny and her friends in the new clique (小圈子). I noticed that when you sat in “the group”, everyone was so nice. They concentrated their topics on eating, dressing, hanging out, and watching videos or movies. I made so many friends that I felt accepted, but I wasn’t myself around them. Gradually, I found myself no longer a hard-working student, showing less interest in exploring the world of knowledge.
Jenny had taught me the “rules” of being popular: where I should shop, what I should say, and what I should stop doing. I changed myself. I tried hard to be the opposite of who I really was, just to be as popular as my “group”. Before long, I just couldn’t take it anymore, because I felt unhappy and anxious about my studies. I wondered how I could get over my loneliness if I separated from the group. So I talked to my mom about it.
注意:

Mom told me “Just be yourself”, and gave me a mini statue of herself.

Para. 2:
After the exam in October, I decided to help Jenny with her study.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Mom told me “Just be yourself”, and gave me a mini statue of herself. She told me she had undergone the same situation before. And it was the statue that kept her company whenever she felt lonely or anxious. From then on, I shared anything wonderful or awful with the little companion, with which my negative emotions were overcome before an important exam in October. I made up my mind to outdo myself and I made it. However，Jenny began to frown frequently in that she was consider no longer popular due to her poor results.
After the exam in October, I decided to help Jenny with her study. We made full use of every moment that she could have spent on everything but study in the past to be sunk into the world of knowledge. Soon, she made advances and got praise from our class teacher. She became proud again and found herself popular again, however, owing to the success of academic results this time. She thanked me, saying that she gained more confidence. Soon I realized living with your true self,you will be the focus of popularity.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开。作者开始上高中，想要像Jenny一样受欢迎并加入她的小圈子，却忽视了学习的重要性。她想脱离这样的生活，却害怕孤独。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“妈妈告诉我“做你自己”，并给了我一个她的迷你雕像。”可知，第一段可描写作者在小雕像的陪伴下，调整自我，在考试中获得好成绩。但是珍妮没有取得好成绩，变得不受欢迎。
②由第二段首句内容“10月的考试后，我决定帮助珍妮学习。”可知，第二段可描写作者帮助珍妮学习，使得珍妮重新受欢迎，且作者感悟出了什么是真正的受欢迎。
2.续写线索：雕像意义——调整自我——取得进步——帮助珍妮——珍妮进步——感悟
3.词汇激活
